East Pierce rescues horse that fell through frozen ditch By Ray Still Reporter

It took East Pierce Fire and Rescue firefighters nearly an hour to rescue a horse that had stepped through an icecovered drainage ditch in its pasture near Lake Tapps on Sunday. The 25-year-old mare was unable to get back up despite the best efforts of her owners,

and firefighters were called at 9:33 a.m. to assist. After firefighters were able to roll the horse out of the water, she was too cold and worn out to stand, said East Pierce Battalion Chief Jay Adams. “We used pocket hand warmers, a propane-powered heater and emergency blankets to warm her up,” he said. The horse had been laying

on the cold, wet ground for some time and, at one point, her body temperature was below 90 degrees. “Normal for a horse is around 101,” said Adams, who has also owned horses. A veterinarian was called to the scene and after the mare could stand, she was transported to a heated barn in Wilkeson to be observed.

Enumclaw man among nine suspects charged with attempted child rape By Dennis Box Editor

The Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office has charged nine suspects with attempted child rape, including a 48-year-old Enumclaw man.

Eric Kermit Jacobson was arrested and charged with first-degree attempted rape of a child and commercial sex abuse of a minor Dec. 17. He is in custody in the Pierce County jail and bail has been set at $250,000. The nine were charged

following a two-week undercover operation by the Washington State Patrol and the Exploited Children Task Force. According to the charging documents, the suspects responded to online

After observing muddy stormwater entering the White River on multiple occasions, the state’s Department of Ecology issued a $34,000 fine against Michelson Knapp Land Venture on Dec. 30. “There were a number of violations found on the days of our inspection that ranged from not maintaining proper construction access points… to the way the stormwater ponds were set up, to maintaining the right kind of silt fencing that prevents runoff from reaching the road,” said Chase Gallagher, a department spokesperson. A department press release said there were four separate observations of Michelson Knapp’s construction site at the Sumner Corporate Park Cascade and Glacier Building. According to Gallagher, the department offered technical assistance to Michelson Knapp since 2013 to help make sure polluted water wasn’t reaching the river. Eventually, the offers of technical assistance turned into administrative orders, which the department claimed were

ignored by the company. The White River is home to several kinds of fish and other marine wildlife, including the Chinook and steelhead salmon. “We know things that are found in stormwater increase PH and turbidity can cause stress to fish and other wildlife,” said Gallagher. “Those are the things we work on throughout our clean water efforts to help ensure the health of a body of water.” The department’s release also noted that the untreated stormwater reached the city of Sumner’s stormwater system, potentially requiring additional maintenance and cause increased costs for ratepayers in the city. Michelson Knapp has yet to formally file an appeal, said company attorney Margaret Archer. The company has 30 days since the fine was issued to appeal. “At this point, we are still working on finding out what the Department of Ecology has, but we are pretty confident that there is no violation here,” Archer said. “(Michelson Knapp} works very hard to have clean sites, and we are pretty confident that once we appeal, this will get reversed.”

Editor’s note: In a previous article about the Land and Water Conservation fund (“Without conservation fund, Washington loses millions,” published Oct. 21) it was incorrectly stated the fund has been fully funded twice in its 50 years of existence, once in 1998 and again in 2011. The correct dates are 1998 and 2001. Outdoor enthusiasts and environmental activists can breath a sigh of relief as the new year brings in more funds for the national Land and Water Conservation Fund. Congress restored the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) on Dec. 18 when legislators and the president approved the federal budget. The LWCF expired Sept. 30 because Congress did not reauthorize the fund, which was created in 1965 by Washington state Sen. Henry Jackson. The fund was authorized for 25 years, and was reauthorized in

1990 for another 25. “We are grateful to Washington’s Congressional Delegation for being leaders in the fight to save LWCF this year,” said Andrea McNamara Doyle, the interim executive director of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition in a press release. “It is a huge relief to know that this program that is so important for our state’s economy and way of life will continue to be there for our communities, but LWCF needs permanent reauthorization and full funding so that we can continue to protect our state’s valuable natural resources and heritage.” The fund was reauthorized for the next three years, with a budget of $450 million for each year, although local Sen. Patty Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell have been pushing for the fund to receive permanent authorization. “This is a critical tool to protect our open spaces in Washington and around the country,” said Cantwell. “This increase in real fund-

ing and a three-year reauthorization will allow us to do important work in our state.” Money for the LWCF comes from royalties paid to the government by federal oil and gas leases, not taxpayer money. The LWCF is authorized to have a maximum budget of $900 million, but has only been fully funded twice in its existence – once in 1998 and again in 2001 – despite the fact that the government collects many million more in royalties every year, according to the Land and Water Conservation Fund Coalition.

Conservation in Washington

Because the LWCF funds conservation efforts across the country, Washington and many other states stood to lose millions that would have gone toward various projects for national parks, state parks and local recreation areas. With the fund reau-

These projects include improvements made to the Pacific Crest Trail, purchasing property around Lake Quinault to protect local fisheries and water quality, bolstering efforts to protect forests around Mount Saint Helens and preserving Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island. The reauthorization of the LWCF is especially important in Washington because outdoor recreation is arguably one of Washington’s

Outdoor recreation sports 198,000 jobs, and much of them depend on access to public lands that LWCF has made possible,” said Gutman. “Consumers in Washington spend $21.6 billion every year on outdoor recreation, much of which happens on these federal and state lands that LWCF supports.

Prepare for a long emissions debate

A not-so-funny thing happened on the long march to save Washington from the damaging undulations of climate change. A fight broke out among the warriors. A little jawboning in the summer escalated last week with a flurry of verbal punches directed at the campaign to create a carbon tax with Initiative 732, as its leaders turned in the last of 350,000 signatures gathered in support of the measure. “It’s the culmination of a long journey this year and the Jerry Cornfield start of a new jourColumnist ney next year,” said Yoram Bauman, cofounder of Carbon Washington, the group behind I-732. “We’re super excited about what comes next.” That’s going to be months of campaigning to educate voters on their measure to tax carbon emissions from gasoline, natural gas and fossil fuels. It also would lower the state’s retail sales tax, trim the business and occupation tax and give low-income families a tax rebate. The claim is it will be “revenue neutral” for state coffers. There’s going to be opposition. But the loudest opponents may not be in the ranks of climate change deniers but among those in a coalition of environmental, labor and progressive groups. Leaders of the Alliance for Jobs and Clean Energy, with a 30-person steering committee and roughly 150 groups as members, had been trying for months to get I-732 supporters to stand down and join them with a different approach they think will fare better with voters. That approach would involve capping emissions, collecting a fee from emitters and spreading that dough around to clean energy and community-building projects. CarbonWA supporters decided not to join them partly because their offering had not been fully refined. “Our approach was to come with a great policy and bring people together to support it,” he said. “Their approach has been to bring a bunch a people around the table and come up with a policy they can all agree upon. And they are finding that to be challenging.” The alliance brain trust is now debating — and polling — their options. Three stand out: Do nothing, craft a measure to complement I-732 or push ahead with a competing measure. Not going forward is an absolute possibility, if there is

Letters With current president, our country is less safe I think I have finally figured out President Obama’s strategy to deal with ISIS. It is a three-pronged approach. 1. Combat global warming. Right after the attack in Paris that left 130 people dead, the president held a news conference and he said the best way to refute ISIS was to meet in Paris and approve the interna-

tional global climate change treaty. 130 people lying dead in the streets of Paris and the president is talking about global climate change. Hmmm, pardon me while I try to wrap my brain around that. 2. Restrict gun rights of law abiding, United States citizens. Evidently, restricting our gun rights will teach ISIS a lesson and keep us safe. 3. Invite ten thousand Syrian refugees that cannot be possibly vetted. I know President Obama says these refugees will be vetted by the federal government, but anyone with any intellectual honesty knows the

truth. Just look how well the female San Bernardino shooter was vetted by the federal government when she was allowed to come into our country. Thanks to the president’s feckless leadership our country is less safe. Our allies do not trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. He sits at the kids table with his crayons and lets the leaders of other nations take up the fight. The world is too dangerous of a place for a Democrat to be president. J Buss Enumclaw

no clear and surmountable path to winning, alliance members said. When voters are faced with competing items on a ballot they tend to turn both down. Alliance members are frustrated I-732 forces don’t see the potential damage to their cause in losing as much as they do. If the alliance proceeds, its members would need to spend as much time talking up their proposition as they have been talking down I-732. That won’t be hard, as they’ve been lobbing verbal jabs for awhile. And this week, they latched onto a state Department of Revenue analysis they claim shows the initiative won’t be “revenue neutral” but actually cause the state lose money over time. Adam Glickman, secretary-treasurer of Service Employees International Union Local 775 and an alliance steering committee member, called it a “poorly written” and “deeply f lawed” initiative that will drain valuable dollars from the state treasury without forcing major polluters to reduce carbon emissions. “Big Oil is dancing in the streets over this,” he said. Bauman offered a robust rebuttal to the economic analysis, saying the model and assumptions used by legislative staff didn’t accurately reflect the measure. “We believe that further analysis by the state will show that the measure is revenue neutral, or very close to it,” he said. “We think I-732 is a terrific policy,” he said. “Fossil fuels will cost a little bit more and everything else will cost a little bit less and that’s how we’re going to save the world.” We’ll see what Washington voters think about that next fall.

ar agreement between Iran and the West, the Revolutionary Guard leadership is feeling its power slipping. Stirring up fears of “The Great Satan” – the U.S. – can bring the wavering back into the Revolutionary Guard’s fold so they can retain their power. ISIS has used this awareness of death very effectively in it’s gory depictions of executions to bring more

extremist Muslim fighters to their cause. We are about to enter the presidential primary season. Based on this information, I would expect more emphasis from the left and the right on reminders of 9/11 or of death to motivate voters to come out and vote – and vote traditional values – for each group’s base.

A small step of faith is the start of a new life The true story of Stuck in a dead-end Kyle MacDonald is told job and strapped for Church in his book, “One Red money, Kyle MacDonald Corner Paperclip.” Now the book came up with an is being made into a improbable plan: startmovie. Fame, fortune, a ing with one red paperbook, a movie deal and a clip, he would trade on Lynell Caudillo home – it all began with the Internet until he Calvary Presbyterian one red paperclip. exchanged it for a house. It sounds pretty crazy, First, he traded the doesn’t it? To think that red paperclip for a fishshaped pen. Next, he traded the pen for one fellow took one very common item and a doorknob. He traded the doorknob for created an entire new reality for himself! The beginning of a new year is often a a Coleman stove. He traded the Coleman stove for an electric generator. He traded time when people take stock of their lives, the electric generator for a Budweiser sign consider where they are and where they’d and a keg of beer, which he then traded like to be. Some people make resolutions for a snowmobile. Exactly one year and 14 but all too often those are broken within trades later, MacDonald finally reached his 24 hours of making them. Discouragement goal: he exchanged a part in a Hollywood can set in quite easily. So how does one movie for a home in Saskatchewan, Canada. start over or get a new lease on life? Is such

a thing possible? (My golfer husband tells me one reason he enjoys the game is that he has 18 opportunities to start over!) The God of the Bible is into re-creation and new beginnings. God wants to give each and every one of us a fresh start in this new year. Well aware that we have messed up, the most incredible good news is that we can start the year with a fresh slate. How good is that? God will give you a new song to sing and a new heart, and God will put a new spirit in you (Ezekiel 36:26). In fact, “…anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Just like that single red paper clip represented a new beginning, taking one small step of faith is the start of a new life in Christ and a total new beginning. The reason Christ came in the first place

was to demonstrate God’s amazing, unconditional love for us. “Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. Christ died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15). This is why we can have a new beginning and a fresh start. All our “mess ups” reset. We can begin again, not just at the start of the year, but at the start of every day of the year. Why? Because “God’s mercies begin afresh each morning,” so great is God’s faithful love for you and me (Lamentations 3:22-23). So how ‘bout it? A red paper clip in exchange for a house, or my old way of being for becoming a new creation? Don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a fresh start.

Spartans are tops in San Diego By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

The Sumner High boys returned from San Diego with a championship in hand. The Spartans made their first appearance in the big Surf ’n’ Slam tourney – a Southern California staple since the early 1990s – and went undefeated in the sixteam “Sun” division. Aside from the team title, a pair of Sumner players received individual honors. The Spartans’ Dawson

Cutright was named Most Valuable Player of the Sun division and teammate Kristian Lewis made the division’s six-player all-star team. Sumner’s division title didn’t come easy, as three of the team’s victories came by a total margin of eight points. The Spartans opened with a 62-57 victory over California’s Livermore High, a contest in which Cutright tallied 17 points and Lewis added a dozen. The second day of compe-

tition saw Sumner paired against another Washington squad, the Life Christian crew. Sumner advanced to the division finale by downing the Tacoma team 53-50, paced by 15 points from Austin Avey. Playing for the Sun championship, Sumner took top honors by defeating a Pennsylvania team, Central Bucks East High School, by a slim 47-46 margin. The Spartans were paced by Hashwinder Singh’s 13 points.

ENUMCLAW BOYS

The EHS squad had a successful tourney experience, winning two games at the Kennedy Christmas Classic, staged at Kennedy High School in Burien. The Hornets opened with a tough 76-75 win over Seattle Academy and finished with a much easier 73-41 victory over the Washington Patriots. On Day 2, four Enumclaw

players landed in double figures, headed by Josh Erickson’s 16 points. Justus Rainwater added 13 and both Scotty Garvin and Griffin Webb scored 11.

ENUMCLAW GIRLS

The EHS squad spent three days in North Idaho, participating in the Viking Women’s Classic, hosted by Coeur d’Alene High. The Hornets took the middle game, defeating the team from Lyle/Wishram 58-39, rolling to a comfortable 32-15 advantage after two quarters before coasting to the win. Sandwiched around the victory were losses to a pair of Idaho teams. The tourney experience began with a loss to Sandpoint and concluded with a defeat at the hands of Post Falls.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE This time of year sets itself apart from any other month in many different ways. A New Year brings new possibilities, renewed hope and fresh starts. A New Year is like a gift. A gift of 356 opportunities! One of the key gifts you can give your child to promote school success - and future career success - is practicing the habit of regular on-time attendance. The research is clear; all children, regardless of socio-economic background or race, do better academically if they have good school attendance. Missing 10 or more days of school, or having 10 or more late arrivals or early departures, is a proven warning sign of academic risk and school dropout. If children are in school, they have the opportunity to learn; if children aren’t in school, they can’t learn. Curriculum content is rigorous and every minute counts. There’s no doubt that an improvement in school attendance leads to an improvement in school performance! At Sumner School District, we have made it tradition to inspire every student to think, to learn, to achieve, and to care. We have established the tradition of providing excellent educational experiences and services. Most importantly, we are building the tradition of preparing our students for post-secondary educational opportunities. The best part of these traditions is that we renew them every day, every season, of every year. Of course, I believe the faces of our children best express the true meaning of the New Year. They radiate a sense of unbridled enthusiasm, untainted hope and unabashed joy for life and the opportunities that await them. As you enjoy tradition and welcome in 2016, I want to extend my thanks to all of you for everything that you do for the school district. It is my fervent wish that each of you receives and returns the seasonal bounty of blessings and good tidings that makes a New Year truly special.

A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN!

FOR EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY, IN EVERY CLASSROOM TEACHER TUESDAY

BOND GETS ENDORSEMENT BY THE CITY OF BONNEY LAKE

Every Tuesday school is in session a teacher is recognized in the Sumner School District for impacting student success and making a difference. This is a weekly opportunity for us to honor the hard work teachers do all year long and say “thank you!” If you’d like to nominate a teacher to be recognized, email teachertuesday@sumnersd.org.

On Wednesday, December 8, 2015, the Bonney Lake City Council unanimously passed a resolution in support of the Sumner School District Capital Projects Bond. The comprehensive $145.6 million school bond would fund critical capital facility needs identified by a Facility Planning Committee and unanimously approved by the School Board on November 18, 2015.

Previously recognized teachers include:

Michelle Nazelrod Maple Lawn Elem

Stacy Rohrbach Bonney Lake Elem

Denise Whiteman Sumner Middle School

The upcoming February 9th Capital Projects Bond would build, expand, and improve school facilities throughout the Bonney Lake and Sumner region. The bond measure would build a new elementary school in the southeast region of the district, build an Early Learning Center in the Sumner Valley, rebuild Emerald Hills Elementary, expand and modernize Sumner High School, expand and enhance Bonney Lake High School with a Performing Arts Center, expand Mountain View Middle School, improve middle school athletic fields, and provide improvements to student safety and security. Information about the bond measure is available on the Sumner School District Website. The District anticipates a tax rate increase (over the existing rate) of approximately $0.45 per $1,000 of assessed value, or $90.00 per year (or $7.50 per month) for a home valued at $200,000. With this tax rate increase, the total bond tax rate will be approximately $2.41 through 2028, and then decreases to $0.94 for the life of the bonds.

They recently provided the opportunity for every fifth grader to participate in Biz Town, every eighth grader experienced Financial Park, and every third grader was wowed by the Seattle Children’s Theater Production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. On top of that, every sophomore and junior at White River High School took the PSAT thanks to the foundation covering the fees.

WHITE RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICT GOLD STAR AWARD For an amazing second year in a row, White River School District has earned distinction as one of the top-performing districts in the state in terms of signups for the College Bound Scholarship program. Our exceptional performance in this area exceeded the state average and earned us a Gold Star Award. College Bound encourages students to dream big and pursue a college education. Because of great efforts and leadership in White R i v e r, s t u d e n t s h a v e greater oppor tunities toward reaching that goal. The program challenges low income middle school students to pledge to graduate from high school crime-free with a 2.0 GPA or higher. If they fulfill their pledge and meet the income criteria, the state will cover the average public college tuition, some fees and a small book allowance.

ASE STUDENT CERTIFICATION Fourteen students in White River High School’s Automotive program have been awarded certification in Automotive Service Excellence. Two of these students earned certificates in all ten areas – completing 8-10 hours of testing each. ASE Student Certification can be thought of as the first step in building a career as a service professional in the automotive industry. Whether marking the completion of career-entry studies in automotive technology, collision repair and refinishing, or medium/heavy-duty trucks, these tests provide the student with their first industry-recognized certification through the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.

Bond Information Update

White River Pride Runs Deep

What impact will the bond have on Safety and Security in our schools? The safety of our students is always in the forefront of our minds. Students must first feel safe in order to learn.

The bond will provide a comprehensive assessment of the physical safety and security in all of our schools. Several aspects critical to emergency responses will be examined. These include such things as controls for building access, communication systems, and the dynamics of lock-down practices and procedures. We will use current best practices in the design of the renovations to our schools. Access for emergency vehicles will also be carefully considered.

NEW COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS OFFERED

DID YOU KNOW? EXTRACURRICULAR USE OF FACILITIES

Did you know that our schools and fields are used by over 40 groups and youth organizations every year? We have recently had facility use requested for such events as lacrosse, wrestling, basketball, and soccer teams, baseball leagues, political caucuses, craft sales, theater and choral groups, memorial services, wedding receptions, scouts and much more. Most of those requesting use of the facility must pay for use, based on a defined rate schedule. The fees go toward paying for custodial and maintenance support. All of these outside requests are handled through the Community Activities Program (CAP) offices where school events and schedules are given first priority.

Community Workshops with the Career & Technical Education Department at White River High School are coming in February. These classes are low cost and presented in celebration of National Career & Technical Education Month. The entire community is invited to attend these great class offerings. Check out the list of options call the WRCAP office at 360.829.3366 for more information on registration. • Fishing Rod Building • Automotive Maintenance • Job Search Preparations • Ravioli Night
