East Pierce Fire a nd Rescue Commissioner Rick

Kuss announced he will be retiring from his position on the board on March 1.

“I have been in public service since I was 17 years old and planned to retire at 62,” Kuss wrote. “So after 44 years I am retiring and to do so I need to resign my position at East Pierce.”

Kuss wrote in an email that his retirement has

nothing to do with his recent disagree-ment he had with the rest of the board concerning the pro-cess for recruiting and hiring a fire chief.

The fire board decided to hire Greg Prothman to conduct a national search for a new fire chief. Kuss disagreed with the decision, saying it was “one of the poorest decisions” he had seen as a commissioner.

Kuss started his career in firefighting as a volun-

teer firefighter in Sumner while he was in high school, following in his father’s and eldest brother’s footsteps.

In 1975 Kuss was accepted into the Puyallup Fire Department as a

full-time firefighter and was eventually promoted to deputy fire marshal in 1990.

Kuss then went to the law enforcement academy and became a police inves-tigator.

Kuss became a fire com-

missioner with the Lake Tapps Fire Department in 1989, which became part of East Pierce in 2000.

“It’s been a great career and I am very proud of the men and women of East Pierce Fire and Rescue,” Kuss wrote. “I’m glad I was able to do my part in help-ing to develop a high level of fire and emergency med-ical service to the citizens I served.”

Kuss plans to spend more time with and spoil his granddaughter and new grandson and enjoy fishing and hunting season.

Challenges facing East Pierce

One challenge the department is facing is a lack of a command struc-ture, according to Kuss.

Kuss’ retirement is the third retirement East Pierce has seen so far this year. Former Deputy Chief John McDonald retired at the beginning of February of this year, and Fire Chief Jerry Thorson plans to retire at the end of April.

You normally have to travel to see a national trea-sure; Arizona has the Grand Canyon, Detroit hosts Rosa Park’s bus and the Statue of Liberty stands tall in New York.

This weekend, though, living national treasure Bob Milne will be visiting Enumclaw to perform rag-time and boogie-woogie music at the Chalet Theater.

Milne was declared a national treasure by the Library of Congress in 2004 after three days of inter-views and filming his piano skills.

Milne is an accomplished musician, but it was his

unique understanding of music that earned him his national treasure status.

First of all, Milne doesn’t practice. Ever.

Oh, and no sheet music either, because that would be cheating.

Even so, Milne’s piano expertise may rival some of the greats.

“Playing the piano has always been easy for me,” Milne said. “I can’t explain that. I don’t know how. I’ve never practiced a day in my life because as I said, it is easy for me.”

When Milne was young, he would listen to his moth-er play the piano and when she finished, he would copy her by ear.

She signed him up for piano lessons, but he only

stuck them out for a year. “They were giving me

these stupid scales and sil-ly-sounding children songs and telling me to play these, and I was already listening to Beethoven,” he recalled.

Some of the feats Milne can perform include being able to play three time sig-natures at a time; 3/4 time, 4/4 time and 5/4 time.

Milne can also keep track of four different songs at a time, and when they’re over, he can tell you all about them.

“Some neurology doctors made a study of me trying to figure out how I can do this. I don’t know myself how I do it,” Milne said. “They’ve been studying me for 5 years and have not come up with an explanation.”

What Milne can describe about his brain is he stores music he hears inside a clam shell.

“Picture a clam shell. Picture it opened up,” he described. “I listen to some-body play a piece of music and I just open the clam shell and I put it in there and I close it. And I can let it out later.”

Milne’s philosophy towards music is just as unique as his brain, too. Once word got out about his abilities, people would try to cajole him into playing a cer-tain piece by handing him the sheet music.

Milne, though, would turn them down.

“I would look at the piece and I would say to myself, ‘I’ve been given an ability. I

was given the ability to do it without the music,’” he said. “’And if I violate that ability, it might be taken away from me.’”

Instead of using his skills to show off how good he is, Milne believes it is more important to show off how good the music is.

“I always tell piano stu-dents, don’t ever try to show anybody how good you are,” he said. “Show them how good the music can be. So if I sit down in some basement and practice all sorts of funky runs, double-handed going in different directions, that’s trying to show somebody how good I am. I won’t do that. I have to be able to use my brains and create (the music) on the spot, in the moment and

keep on going.”Milne has been a profes-

sional piano player for more than 50 years, and averages between 200 and 250 per-formances a year, and makes his living traveling across the country to perform.

“I feel so lucky that I can do something that other people like,” Milne said. “I happen to be doing some-thing that I enjoy and people like me. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

Milne will be performing at 2 p.m. on March 8 at the Chalet Theatre for one day only.

National treasure Bob Milne to perform in EnumclawBob Milne will perform

at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 8, at the Chalet Theatre in Enumclaw.

$582,952 be repaid. It also was noted at the time that City Hall would fight to have the debt erased.

Efforts were positive and a letter from the Washington State Department of Transportation formally absolved Enumclaw of any portion of the debt. The three paragraphs of economic salvation noted “the original scope of work consisted of planning for the preliminary site design

and engineering” and admitted the city “has shown a good faith effort throughout the process to continue to move this project forward.”

And, with that, the Federal Highway Administration determined the city is off the hook.

In other action during a meeting that officially lasted 19 minutes, 32 seconds, the council:

• received a positive report about the recent Wine and Chocolate Festival from Scott Gray, manager of the Enumclaw

Expo Center.After calculating expenses and revenues,

the event posted a $26,000 profit, Gray said, adding that was the best showing for the event in five years.

Looking ahead to next year, Gray said food vendors will be added and – to accom-modate the tastes of a broader audience – at least one beer vendor will be added to the mix.

• took action stemming from a 2012 restructuring project within the Enumclaw Police Department. Chief Jim Zoll told

council members of a “housekeeping mea-sure” that would do two things: add a captain’s position and change the term “patrolman” to “police officer.”

It was the first reading for the ordinance, so no action was taken. It will appear again on a coming agenda for council action.

WHITE RIVER GIRLSBy Kevin Hanson

Senior Writer

To be the best, you have to play the best.That line of thinking meshes perfectly

with the White River High girls basketball team, which appears Thursday in the quar-terfinal round of the Class 2A state tourna-ment. Game time is 3:45 p.m. in Yakima’s SunDome.

Thursday’s opponent is Mark Morris (22-2), ranked No. 1 in the state. As proof of how good the Monarchs can be, they defeated White River by 31 points when the two squared off during a mid-January, non-league tussle.

Should White River knock off the Monarchs, they will play at 7:15 p.m. Friday against the winner of Thursday battle between River Ridge and Ellensburg, both unranked. If White River falls on Thursday, the Hornets will play at 12:15 p.m. Friday against the River Ridge/Ellensburg loser.

The Yakima tourney is a double-elimina-tion affair.

Advancing to the Class 2A Elite Eight is nothing new for the White River girls pro-gram, which has enjoyed a remarkable run under coach Chris Gibson. The Hornets

have made the state field (the Sweet 16) in 15 of the past 17 seasons; recently, White River placed third three years ago and brought home fourth-place honors last season.

The Hornets qualified for Yakima play Saturday afternoon at Puyallup, defeating the Blaine Borderites 60-51 in the regional round of the state tourney.

The victory was a struggle from the beginning for White River, which usually breaks out to an early lead. Saturday, how-ever, the Hornets missed everything from the field during the game’s early stages and were unsuccessful on six tries from the free-throw line. As a result, more than five minutes elapsed before White River cracked the scoreboard and Blaine enjoyed a 12-10 lead after a period of play.

The Hornets spent the next two quar-ters slowly stretching a lead that reached 14 points by the end of the third quarter. Again, things turned difficult and Blaine eventually went on a nine-point run that cut White River’s lead to just 49-46 with 1:31 to play.

That’s when senior Kristin Sturdivan bur-ied a crucial 3-point bomb that snuffed the Blaine rally. White River put things away with some timely free throws and the inside work of sophomore Kendall Bird, who con-verted two offensive rebounds to putback buckets.

Bird and Amanda Lance led the Hornet effort with 19 points each and Sturdivan added 14.

WHITE RIVER BOYSBy Kevin Hanson

Senior Writer

When things looked bleakest, the White River High boys basketball team bounced back.

Trailing 42-26 at halftime to the Squalicum Storm, the Hornets stepped on the floor and promptly rattled off a 16-0 run that tied Saturday’s contest at Puyallup High School – a game that marked the regional round of the state tournament.

Perhaps digging from such a deep hole took its toll on the Hornets, who entered unranked yet gave the Storm all it could handle. In the end, the Bellingham boys posted a 68-59 victory and will play again Thursday in the Class 2A Elite Eight in Yakima.

White River is done for the season.Saturday’s regional contest saw Squalicum

the game in hand. White River’s heroics continued after the 16-point out-burst and the Hornets led 49-47 when senior Brandon Scheer nailed a jump shot with 4:58 to play.

The Storm answered with an eight-point run, taking control for the final time. Squalicum hit seven of eight free throws to keep its lead down the final stretch.

Sophomore Alex Wallen scored 19 points – 15 in the second half – to lead the Hornet offense. Playing their final games for White River, seniors Dustin France and Scheer added 16 and 14 points, respectively.

SUMNER GIRLSBy Sarah Wehmann

Staff Writer

The Sumner High girls entered the 3A regionals as the No. 2 seed from the 3/4 district after losing 59-50 to Wilson in the 3A district championship game Feb. 21.

The regional match-up was played at Renton High School against West Seattle, with the winner advancing to the state tournament beginning today, March 5.

However, the Spartans’ season ended Saturday.

The girls lost 56-18.Senior Jamie Lange,

who tore her anterior cruciate ligament and partially tore her lateral collateral ligament dur-ing the district title game, sat out Saturday.

The Spartans got off to a slow start Saturday and couldn’t catch up to West Seattle.

At the half, Sumner was down 31-10.

The girls went score-less in the third quarter before putting eight on the board in the fourth.

Freshman guard Kennedy Cutter had a team-high six points.

The loss ends the high school careers for five seniors.

Sumner f in-ished the season with an overall record of 19-6.

Saturday, October 18 from 6pm to 8pmFeatured Artist for March

Alex Sutton Alex began exploring ceramics in 1988, when she met a Catholic nun that had taught art at Syracuse University, and was retired. From this nun, she learned to listen for the being of a thing, and to distill the essence of it so it could be directly perceived.

When Alex moved to Seattle in 1993, she found an old ceramic kiln in the house she bought. She began making pottery and tiles, then melting glass. She uses a technique of glass frit, which is like making tiny mosaics of glass. Her ideas come from the natural world around us. Alex’s vision is not to produce a replica, but to capture the essence of a thing. She says: “Glass is a wonderful medium for this because it is a ‘solid’ fluid and inherently challenges our perception of the world around us.” Alex will be teaching fused glass at Arts Alive! on March 7 from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. For more information or to sign up, stop by the Gallery or give us a call.

Each week through-out the school year, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rec-ognizes 12 varsity athletes, a male and a female from each of the six classifica-tions, who exhibited an outstanding performance during the previous week.

It was announced Feb. 25 that KC Moulden, a senior at Enumclaw High School, was nominated by a community member and selected by WIAA staff as one of the Athletes of the Week for her in wrestling.

Moulden pinned her way through the girls’ 235-

pound division during the Feb. 20-21 state wrestling tournament, to secure her third consecutive state title. She also was an aca-demic state champion and became the only athlete in school history to be a three-time champion in any sport.

Water managers have begun slowly filling the reservoir at Howard Hanson Dam at the headwaters of the Green River. As is typical, the Army Corps of Engineers began the process in late February, allowing water levels to rise within the dam’s reservoir.

It takes approximately three months to refill the reservoir. The current plan targets a maximum pool el-evation of 1,167 feet above sea level. That has been the spring refill target since 2007.

Water stored during the spring refill will be used to provide water to the city of Tacoma and its water supply part-ners. Additionally, at least three-fifths of the reservoir’s supply will be used

to augment downstream flows to help endangered species of fish, including Chinook and steelhead. Project manag-ers believe the regulated downstream

flows will aid spawning and other life-cycle events for the fish.

Snowpack in the Green River Basin is at a near record low level. The minimal snow-pack, coupled with recent dry conditions, has resulted in a

low water supply outlook and a high likelihood that Green River flows could be well below average this spring. Low runoff could result in challenging spring refill conditions for Howard Hanson Dam unless normal or above normal rainfall patterns develop in the spring and early summer.

Thorson have said their retirement plans had been in the works for several months, even up to a year.

“The command struc-ture has some big holes that need to be filled,” Kuss wrote. “The new chief is going to have to be very cre-ative in filling those posi-tions without creating staff burnout, all while finding the funding to do so.”

Funding is the other challenge East Pierce will

be dealing with this year. The department failed to

acquire the supermajority of votes (60 percent) needed to pass a maintenance and operations levy during the 2014 election cycle.

This resulted in the loss of more than $3 million in revenue.

“Unless the new chief rolls in with a trunk full of gold or a magic wand, he or she is going to have to be creative in working towards renewing current funding sources, and/or finding new ones,” Kuss wrote.

Some parting advice Kuss had for the board is to look at the option of a fire benefit charge.

Central Pierce Fire Department currently uses a fire benefit charge.

The main difference between a fire benefit charge and a maintenance and operations levy is how property is assessed.

A levy assesses total property value to charge residents, while a fire benefit charge is based on the square footage of structures on a parcel of

land, according to Central Pierce Deputy Chief of Administration Baron Banks.

This means residential landowners would pay less under a fire benefit charge than commercial or indus-trial landowners.

“The benefit charge spreads the tax base out and those types of struc-tures who require more fire services pay more,” Kuss wrote. “I think it’s a much fairer way to pro-vide funding, and chat-ting with Central Pierce

or Valley RFA (Regional Fire Authority) would have been a positive step.”

Additionally, Banks said a fire benefit charge only requires a simple major-ity of votes (50 percent) to pass, unlike a levy.

However, if a fire ben-efit charge is enacted for East Pierce, state law would require property taxes to drop from $1.50 to $1.00, according to Banks.

Status of the Commissioners

With Kuss retiring, the

Board of Commissioners will appoint a new member to serve for the rest of the term.

This new member would then be up for election in November.

Commissioner chair Dale Mitchell said the board will discuss appli-cation dates and require-ments for the position at the March 17 meeting.

Ron Scholz, Karlynne McGinnis and Mitchell will also be up for election in November.

East Pierce Fire and Rescue received a 911 call at 10:40 p.m. Friday reporting the deaths of a mother and daughter. Emer-gency medical personnel found a traumatic scene of a mother and her teenage daugh-ter, both dead from gunshot wounds, at a residence south of Bonney Lake.

Pierce County Sheriff ’s deputies inves-tigated the scene as a murder-suicide. It is believed the 36-year-old mother shot and killed her 16-year-old daughter, then turned the weapon on herself.

The Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office released the cause of death Monday afternoon. According to the office, the daughter died from gunshot wounds to the

head and chest and it has been listed as a homicide. The mother’s cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head and is consid-ered a suicide.

According to initial reports, the mother’s boyfriend found the two and made the call to 911.

East Pierce responded to the scene and the Pierce County Sheriff ’s Office is the investigating agency.

The Sumner School District is working with the staff and students at the school where the girl attended. The Bonney Lake police are assisting the district staff as needed.

(Editor’s note: Names of the mother and daughter are being withheld to give the family and school district an opportunity to work through the aftermath.)

Once again The Courier-Herald is off the press and the sky still appears to be propped up and in place, although I haven’t checked in the last 15 minutes. One moment, please….

OK, the sky is still up and I am still down – I will keep writing.

I have been thinking a great deal recently about the multiple roles a newspaper plays in a community (My single-cell of gray goo needed a few extra injec-tions of out-of-date buttermilk to keep up with this thinking stuff).All newspapers

work and write in a community. The community may be a small town, a region, a county or a country. The process is similar in all, but the palette is different.

A newspaper is a different kind of chicken. It is a busi-ness with First Amendment protection. Although like any constitutional right, it comes with limitations and, most importantly, responsibilities.

Most businesses are concerned with keeping the doors on the hinges and selling widgets smothered in cheese.

The intriguing part of a newspaper is the number of balls that must be kept in the air simultaneously to keep the presses running.

I have read a pile of articles from around the country about the future of newspapers. Most are either misin-

Our Corner

Dennis BoxEditor

Do you know why federal senators serve six-year terms while representa-tives from the House serve only two?

House representation is based upon population and, because representa-tives’ terms are shorter, they are closer to what the voters are thinking and feeling. Understanding and listening to public opinion is vital to the success of our representative democracy.

Senators were originally elected by state legislatures, until the 17th Amendment was passed in 1913 allow-ing election by popular vote. The two

senators from each state have six-year terms to separate them from their constituents – to give them long-term thinking. Since they have six years to be re-elect-ed, senators are not as concerned about popular opinion. They are supposed to deliberate on issues rather than reflect the mood of the public.

This tension between short-term and long-term thinking in Congress was meant to create a balance between forces that all of us deal with every day of our lives. Do we think

only for the moment, or do we plan for the future? As I tell my civics and

Enumclaw High student makes a pitch for voting ‘yes’ on bond proposal

I am a junior, currently attending Enumclaw High School, and I can explain from my personal accounts why a new addition to our high school is needed.

The problems within the building are more than a few leaks and heating issues. Last year I sat near the middle

of the classroom and every time I looked up there was a huge bulge in the ceiling that seemed to grow. We had to reconfigure the entire room so nobody would walk under the dripping panels that eventually did collapse. This was a major distrac-tion to my learning and opened my eyes to all the other issues within our school.

The heating and cooling system is another big problem that seems to be downplayed when others speak about it. I have classes in five dif-ferent buildings – none maintain a similar temperature. I will go to first

period wearing a rain jacket and end up in my T-shirt, then throw the jacket on to run through the rain to get to my next class. In third period, I find myself wishing the rain jacket was thicker and that I had a blanket. I spend so much time deciding what I can wear that will be comfortable, yet I still end up fighting the temper-atures. I have never gone an entire class period without hearing at least one complaint about the classroom being too hot or too cold. This is not just a minor issue; it occupies so

Inez Coyne passed away on February 24, 2015 surrounded by her family after a long battle with cancer.  Inez was born to Ray and Helen (Phillips) Thieman along with her twin sister Ina on October 17, 1932 in Puyallup, Washington. She was later joined in the family by her two younger sisters Louise and Evelyn.

Inez grew up on a small farm outside of Buckley and as a youngster she attended Kelly Lake School. 

Inez enjoyed canning fruits and vegetables grown on the family farm as well as helping with the livestock. She especially enjoyed her involvement with the 4-H club since her parents were involved with the leadership of the club.

Inez graduated from White River High School in June 1951. On September 14, 1951, she married the love of her life, Ray Coyne. Ray was enlisted in the U.S. Navy and sta-tioned in Norfolk, Virginia, which is where they � rst set up home.  Later the Navy moved them to Alameda, California, before they returned to Washington as civilians. 

Ray and Inez had three children, Rhonda (Jerry) Dunlap, Dan (Darci) Coyne and Teri (Dave) Koch.

They had eight grandchildren and thirteen great grandchildren, all of whom they enjoyed very much.

After Teri started grade school, Inez went to work for the White River School District, as elementary secretary, a job she loved for 25 years. After she retired, she and Ray were able to do some traveling. She especially enjoyed family camping trips, cruises and trips to the Oregon Coast.

Inez was a member of St. Aloysius Catholic Church and the Altar Society, and she also enjoyed making her famous potato salad for picnics and events at the Buckley Eagles.

Inez is survived by her three children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren.  She is also survived by her three sisters, as well as Ray's sister Alice (Jerry) Alfano.

The family would like to thank all of those who have helped Inez get to her many doctor and chemo appointments over the past 4-1/2 years. A special thank you goes to Bernice Greenwood and her co-workers at B' s Place in Burnett for Inez's wonderful care during the past 3 years.  Memorials may be made to the Buckley Fire� ghter’s Assoc., PO Box 1015, Buckley, WA 98321 or Seattle Cancer Care Alliance Donations, PO Box 19023, Seattle, WA 98109.

A visitation will be held, Thursday, March 5, 2015 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. with the rosary starting at 7:00 p.m. both at Weeks’ Funeral Home in Buckley. A Funeral Mass will be Friday, March 6, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Enumclaw with burial at Buckley City Cemetery.

much of our precious time. It is almost impossible to concentrate when I am so uncomfortable. The main-tenance staff is doing the best they can, but there is nothing else they can do to fix these problems.

Beyond these commonly brought-up complaints, I can bring so many other issues to the table. The walls all over the building have stains and are becom-ing discolored. The bath-rooms have stains, as well as having tiles that crumble and fall when a toilet is flushed, and leaky faucets that drip and cause mold. These problems have been addressed by staff, but solu-tions are only temporary.

Our school has one major aspect that makes it modern: technology. The issue here is that the wir-ing through the walls is faulty and causes our new Promethean boards to fail. They consistently shut off in the middle of a lecture due to overheating. The teacher must continue to teach without the board or wait for it to cool down; either option delays the lesson plan. If a remod-eled school was built, the wiring and set up of these boards would be taken into account. They would be properly installed and able to work with the perfor-mance we need.

Looking at the remodel of our high school from another perspective, the benefits are more than just practical. Students carry a sense of pride when they mention the school they attend. When I hear my classmates talk about our school, they are anything but proud. Not a single teenager I know wants to go to school in a cramped, dark, and outdated build-ing. Many schools around us have been revamped to fulfill their students’ needs. When I walk in the doors of these schools, I am amazed. I think to myself how lucky they are. I wish that our school had the same effect on visitors: that they could walk in and see how we are able to learn in spa-cious classes, with new equipment that runs effi-ciently and far less distrac-tions. Our education would flourish in a new building and so would our student body’s attitude.

As a student affected by the many issues at EHS, I ask everyone with the abil-ity to vote to please vote “yes” to help pass this bond. By attending school in this outdated and inadequate building, I have sacrificed my full ability to learn. A remodel is the solution to restoring our students’ abil-ity to learn distracted and create a renewed sense of pride for our students and our community.

High School

Performances opened eyes to wonders of arts

To teach an old dog a new trick commonly brings one of two beliefs.

Stubbornness and tradi-tional or tireless effort with little or no results. In my case, I happen to apply to both. That was, until the other evening. I was treated to some of the best entertainment that our Sumner School District has to offer.

Since the early- to mid-1970s, I felt as though art classes in public education offered nothing in com-mon with my, or any oth-ers’, education. As I grew in maturity to become a taxpayer, that opinion also included that they probably were not a good choice to burden the bud-get with, either. But after experiencing the multi-school choir concert, I must gratefully thank the students, music teachers and the district admin-istrative staff for what I finally was taught after all these years.

It was very well orga-nized and the perfor-mances were sung well beyond what would be expected from all age groups. The song choices varied from African to Asian, to the finale of an American Christian hymn which received a standing ovation. I personally think this would have been a great night out even with-out my middle school daughter performing as my reason for attending. I hope in the future, the school district will con-sider inviting out senior citizens on the commu-nity, I believe they would truly connect with our local youth.

Thanks again to all the performers and the gifted directors for schooling an old dog.

government students, that depends.Depends on what? It depends on the

circumstances of each situation and, for us humans, it is one of the most difficult things we have to do in order to navigate the endless decisions we face each day.

When I was in my teens and 20s, I was impatient and impulsive. As a result, I made decisions in a hurry, not thinking of the potential consequences. After I made a number of major errors, saying things that popped into my head, for instance, I came to the realization that my impulsivity was getting me in trouble.

I found that if I slowed down and thought things through and did some research, my decisions turned out to be better, especially if I weighed oppos-ing extremes to decide where the best mid-point lay. As some self-help book advised, I learned to “hit the pause but-ton” before making decisions. Over time, that approach allowed me to make better and longer-ranged plans than I had when

I lived in the moment. When the founders met in Philadelphia

in the summer of 1787 to write the Constitution, many had studied the gov-ernments of ancient Greece and Rome and the heritage of parliamentary democ-racy from the British. They had also studied what worked and what didn’t in colonial and state governments during the 180 years between the first permanent English colony in Jamestown in 1607 and that hot Philadelphia summer in 1787.

That’s why they had the wisdom to create a Congress that balanced the importance of short-term thinking in the House with the long-term thinking of the Senate.

We can learn from those men whom Jefferson in awe called “demi-gods” who created the Constitution. We can learn how to weigh the needs of the moment with the longer-termed realities of the future. Only when we develop the ability to live in the tension between those two extremes, as our founders envisioned for our Constitution, will we be able to live balanced and fulfilling lives.

By Gretchen Leigh Living With Gleigh

I have a fixation about keeping a fairly consistent sleep schedule throughout a weekend or extended hol-iday, so the first day back doesn’t seem like such a shock.

Personally, I’m pretty good at this. I go to bed at 10 and get up at 6 with my daughter on normal weekdays; on holidays and weekends I try to go to bed between 10 and 11 and get up between 7 and 8. On the

other hand, my children and husband do not, nor do they seem particularly interested in participating.

I get that my husband doesn’t want get up at 3:45 on the weekends; I wouldn’t either. But he could go to bed at say 10 and get up whenever he wakes up, he only sleeps about six or seven hours anyway. Instead, he makes him-self stay awake until mid-night or 1 a.m. on Friday, after having gotten up that morning for work at that ungodly hour.

“Awake” is relative, as he’s gotten really good at sitting in the office chair in front of the computer in a balanced lean, hand on the mouse, TV blaring away

next to him, fast asleep. He can hold that stance for sev-eral hours.

I used to wake him up on my way to bed and suggest he pack it in. He’d deny he’d even been asleep and say, “But it’s the weekend” or “I’m watching this,” and promptly fall back to sleep. I gave up a few years ago, figuring he’s a big boy and can take care of himself.

In spite of their father’s bad example, I’ve tried to instill in my daugh-ters how important it is to have routine sleep habits. I understand they aren’t interested in being any-where at 7:35 a.m., like the hour high school starts, but they could attempt to

go to bed at a somewhat decent hour so they’d wake up at a normal time (non-vampire hours; they seem to come alive around 9 at night).

I am one of those mean parents who demand my daughters head for bed during the week at 9 so they get a good eight hours. I don’t care if they are in high school and practically of legal adult age (snort of derision); as long as they are living under my roof, they will not be sleeping on their desks at school.

Putting these rules into place hasn’t helped in the least. My oldest is now away at college and I can’t do anything about her

bedtime. I quit trying last school year when she was living at home and had only night classes at the local community college.

I did learn during the summer that it was to my advantage to let them manage their own sched-ules as long as we didn’t have any plans the next day. They would often stay up so late, they said good-bye to their father as he left the house around 4 a.m. for work. Then the next morning, I had the house to myself for several hours. I have to admit, it was rather nice.

Now that my oldest is out of the house, I know she is going to bed and waking up at different times every day

depending on her schedule. Oh well, I’ve done my part and it’s out of my hands. However, my youngest has a year and half more of high school; I still have a narrow opportunity to set her straight. So Friday I once again said, “In order to keep you from waking up in shock on Monday, what time shall I wake you up tomorrow?”

She said, “Try me at 10.” Gretchen Leigh is a stay-

at-home mom who lives in Covington. She is still com-mitted to her bedtime. You can also read more of her writing and her daily blog on her website livingwith-gleigh.com or on Facebook at “Living with Gleigh.”

I am a reli-gious man, a man of faith. I respect people of all faiths and people of no religious faith at all. I respect the practices of reli-gious people and n o n - r e l i g i o u s people, so long as their practices don’t interfere with the exercise of my rights and I try not to interfere with theirs – though, in all honesty, I’m a little less concerned about the latter.

During the past few years there has been a growing fear about people forc-ing their religious rights and practices on people outside their faith. This fear seems heightened by the great num-ber of individuals immigrating into

the U.S. and wanting the government to make exceptions to our policies and pro-tocols to accommo-date their practices.

This was height-ened a few years ago when a San Diego public school became the focus of

international attention after it agreed to set aside time for Muslim stu-dents to pray in class. Officials at Carver Elementary School had agreed to schedule a short break for prayer as part of the school day to meet the requirements of the Islamic faith, (Americans United for Separation of Church and State website, 2007).

Wait! Wait! Can they do that? Christians don’t think they can pray

in school but Muslims can? And they are given a special class in which to do so? Hey, that doesn’t seem fair.

Time for a civics lesson.Amendment I (Establishment

Clause) - “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exer-cise thereof.”

Congress shall make no law, but what about a state or a municipal-ity or a school board? I should know that, but I couldn’t put it together in my head. So I called someone who’d know for sure. I called Chris Hurst (D- 31st District) and asked him.

WHAT IS IT? Empty Bowls is an international grass roots effort to fight hunger. The basic premise: potters and other crafts people create handcrafted bowls. Guests arrive for a simple soup meal and choose a unique bowl which they keep as a symbol and a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? The purpose is twofold: to raise awareness of the fight against hunger in our community and to raise funds to support local food banks.

WHO BENEFITS? Proceeds from this event support the efforts of Plateau Outreach Ministries and the Kiwanis Food Bank to feed those in need on the Enumclaw Plateau.

WHO’S DOING THIS? This project is spearheaded by a committee from organizations that include: • Enumclaw Mayor Liz Reynolds • Green River Community College Pottery Department • Enumclaw Kiwanis • Enumclaw Rotary Club • Plateau Outreach Ministries • Arts Alive! Center For the Arts • The Enumclaw School District

With the help and support of our sponsors:

where can I get a ticket? Tickets will be available at the door. Choose your bowl on a first come, first served basis. 100% of the money raised will go to feed people on the Enumclaw Plateau. Your participation will help meet a great need in our community. Join us--and bring a friend!

tices and point of view. Could they pass laws establishing some religion as primary in their community? Could they stop other religions from worshipping in their town?”

Mr. Hurst is very learned in this argument and reminded me that all laws (state, county, city) are under the Constitution. He said a group could strengthen a position the Constitution takes, but cannot undermine or negate anything the Constitution says. Then he pointed me to the 14th Amendment, which spells out what he told me.

So, no, a community or school board cannot make any provision that holds one religion over another and cannot prohibit any individual from freely exercising his/her faith.

There is a lot of unwarranted fear out there, dare we call it paranoia? There is no prohibition in our schools against prayer. Any individual can pray to whomever they choose so long as it isn’t a distraction for others. And I cannot find any prohibition for a student to carry a Bible, or other religious material, to be read or studied during personal time.

When I was in kindergarten, the best year I ever had in school, we had a snack time that included a short prayer. Some will probably remember: “God is great, God is good, now we thank Him for our food.” Since nearly everybody

in our community claimed to be Christian or Jewish, there was no conflict at all.

In 1962 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against school-led prayer. Public schools could not require students to recite a particular prayer. In 1963 the court ruled schools could not require reading of the Bible. Many of us, actually 95 per-cent of us, were against the ruling, according to a 1991 survey. As late as 2011 a poll showed 65 percent of Americans still support school-led prayer. But the truth is, no one kicked God out of school. He goes where he wants and does what he wants. And no one is keeping your kids or grandkids from taking him to school with them.

In our increasingly pluralistic society it would be ludicrous for a school to determine which religious prayer they would sanction. And who do you want teaching your kids religious values? Surely not someone of a different faith. I am convinced the courts got it right. Don’t sanction, don’t prohibit.

But we must be vigilant. There are groups coming into our country who don’t believe in religious freedom. We must be careful to see that our constitution is not altered or dimin-ished in order for a group, any group, to coerce public school students in religious thoughts or practices.

That’s my opinion anyway. Tell your represen-tatives your opinion. It will matter in the future.

SUMNER SCHOOL DISTRICTVISIT US ONLINE: SUMNERSD.ORG

As your Superintendent, I am committed to creating a learning environment where academic success is the standard for each child. My role is to make sure all students, teachers and adminis-trators have the tools they need to guide each child to peak per-formance. The research is clear:  the best school districts ensure

a clear and viable curriculum is designed to prepare students for college and careers.    In plain language, that means that we are committed to ensuring there is a pathway of success through the years of education for all students.  We admit, this is a big commitment and challenge. 

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the third annual District STEM Fair and Art Show.  What a fabu-lous exhibition of innovative student projects and creativ-ity!  Students were engaged in their presentations and motivated to share their learning surrounding science, technology, engineering and math.  There were hands-on, digital exploration stations and connections to local STEM industry partners at this event as well as mul-tiple teachers, administrators, and volunteers from every area.  It was truly an environment that a Superintendent wants occurring on a daily basis in every classroom. 

In a STEM learning environment, powerful critical think-ing and exploration practices are utilized to engage stu-dents in interesting learning in high-performing class-rooms.  In STEM classrooms, students ask relevant, important real-world questions, collaborate with peers, arrive at meaningful conclusions and explore STEM ca-reer components. 

Businesses are reporting a signi� cant number of vacan-cies in STEM related career � elds, and a growing need for more scientists, engineers and quali� ed technicians. Sumner School District is developing a clear and cohe-sive vision for STEM education. Currently, we have a position posted for an Elementary STEM Administrator, someone that will team with our Secondary STEM Ad-ministrator to help us achieve this goal throughout the district. We are committed to delivering a rigorous cur-riculum that continues to prepare students – at every level of their education - for college and careers.

There is one important quality that unites us all - our students and their potential to reach peak academic success.  A culture of STEM teaching and learning in our schools is a strong component of that.

In White River, we’ve been working on ways to address issues of racial equity, both in our curriculum and instruc-tion, and in our practices, systems and policies. Since the 13-14 school year, our administrative team has worked with Puget Sound ESD Equity in Education sta� , led by Director Me-lia LaCour, to broaden our leadership perspective, and learn how to best create systems that are racially equi-

table for all students. Focusing on these issues helps to close the achievement gap.

As part of this process, we held student forums and asked our students about their perceptions, examined academics and behavior records. This fall we began using that information to create plans that support our work with Positive Behavior Inter-vention Support (PBIS) in each of our schools. We knew that the cultural competency focus needed to be a system focus. It was critical that this cultural competency work was connected to all district initiatives to ensure that district practices provided students and families with every opportunity for success.

In addition, the Board of Directors recently adopted a Board Policy that addresses tribal history, sovereignty and culture. A major portion of this work is the incorporation of the “Since Time Immemorial” (STI) curriculum into our social studies classes. We have already started by including lessons into the Current World Issues/Civics classes at White River High School. This is a natural � t as we look at treaties and the Constitution, and the current issues that are working their way through the courts now regarding tax policy and other pertinent issues.

Next, we’ll work to add the STI curriculum to our 7th grade Pa-ci� c Northwest History course. The district has been working with Dr. Laura Lynn from Puget Sound ESD to coordinate our e� orts and ensure that these lessons are taught with the cultur-ally responsive lens.

At the elementary level, our English/Language Arts curriculum provides the opportunity for grade level teams of teachers to plan and implement culturally diverse selections unit by unit. As well, our K-5 social skills curriculum, Second Step, is de-signed to promote racial equity in each lesson.

This is just one example of the thoughtful and thorough work being done in several areas throughout White River for the bene� t of our students and sta� .

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

WE DAY

GOLD STAR AWARD

We Day is a movement afoot for today’s youth, inspiring and empowering a generation to shift from “me” to “we” – from a focus on the individual to the power of community – to engage them in service projects to impact their world.

To earn a trip to the culminating We Day event at Key Arena in Seattle on April 23rd , leadership students must complete two service projects – one of local outreach, and one with a global focus. The students conducted a coin drive titled “We Create Change”, raising enough money to purchase a goat to fund sustainable living in Nicaragua. Their local outreach will be an Inclusion Dance on March 13th. The fun 70s theme dance will center around including special needs and general education students from White River, Bonney Lake and Enumclaw School Districts.

White River School District is one of the top-performing districts in the state in terms of sign-ups for the College Bound Scholarship program. Our 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 e� orts and leadership in White River, students have greater op-portunities toward reaching that goal. The program chal-lenges low income middle

school students to pledge to graduate from high school crime-free with a 2.0 GPA or higher. If they ful� ll their pledge and meet the income criteria, the state will cover the average public college tuition, some fees and a small book allowance.

ELEMENTARY ELA ASSESSMENTS GO DIGITAL

GLACIER MIDDLE SCHOOL: BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

Prepare to battle at the Battle of the Books competition for 2014 – 2015 school year.

What is the Battle of the Books? Battle of the Books is a school wide, team based competition. Teams of students read a series of award winning books and then compete with one another to de-termine which team has the best understanding of the novels.

Who can participate? 6th, 7th, and 8th graders from GMS.

When will the Battle take place? The battle will take place some-time in May or June 2015.

What do students do? Student teams read books from a pre-selected list. Students can check them out at the school library, public libraries or purchase the books. At the beginning of the school year, there was an opportunity for students to create their own teams of 3 – 5 students. Each team member will decide which books they will be responsible for reading.

How can the community get involved? Community members and parents can: 1) Read the books alongside our students and talk to students about the content. 2) Donate copies of the books to our school library or class rooms. 3) Donate prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams. 4) Host book talks with students during PACE enrichment or after school. 5) Volunteer on the day of the event.

If you would like more information regarding how you can get in-volved in Battle of the Books please contact LeeAnn Alfano, Assis-tant Principal at Glacier Middle School. 360-829-6149 or [email protected]

Throughout Washington State, schools are working hard to pre-pare students for the new Smarter Balanced Assessments that will begin in just a few short weeks. Many of you already know that these computer adaptive tests will be administered online. While there are many advantages to this model, the promise of more timely feedback and more accurate scoring is something we are excited about.  

We also know that we need to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their learning in a digital environment.  This will help ensure that the scores that they earn are not in� uenced by lack of familiarity with the testing tool. That is why our Technol-ogy Learning Specialist, Lori Curtis, has worked closely with our English Language Arts team to create online unit assessments using Google Docs for grades 3-5. These exams mirror the for-matting of the Smarter Balanced exams.  Teachers are able to score the assessments and give students feedback digitally as well. This is just one example of how technology is changing the way teachers teach and students learn in White River.

Kayli Peloli and Sydney Lund work on the new assessments in Mrs. Schatz’s classroom.

BAND HONORSOver President’s Day week-end White River High School students Garrett Bown, Mav-erick Kajita, and Tyler Ussery participated in one of our 2015 NAfME All-Northwest performing groups. These students are among over one thousand outstanding music students from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washing-ton and Wyoming.

Garrett Bown, Maverick Kajita and Tyler Ussery

NAfME All-Northwest high school bands, orchestras and choirs met in Spokane, Washington for more than twenty hours of re-hearsal under the direction of world-renowned conductors. These All-Northwest musicians were selected from over 5200 students who auditioned to participate in this outstanding event, which is managed by the Washington Music Educators Association.

WRSD HOSTS VISITORSThe White River School District is a recognized leader when it comes to building and sus-taining highly col-laborative teams commonly referred to as Professional Learning Commu-nities. The work of our teams has been the foundation of our school improve-ment e� orts and

school leaders from across the state and nation come to visit and see our teams in action. Just recently we hosted visitors from Kent, Tacoma, Wyoming, and Montana. In addition to these PLC visitors, a team of doctoral students from the Leadership for Learning program at the University of Washington recently vis-ited White River to learn about the systems-approach to leading organizational change and school improvement.

BONNEY LAKEUNDER THE INFLUENCE:

Officers responded Feb. 22 to a state Route 410 fast food restaurant to the report of a driver under the influence. An employee told officers, the driver was slurring his words and struck the curb while in the drive thru. The vehicle had left the scene before officers arrived and was seen leaving a store parking lot. Officers observed the vehicle swerving as well

as displaying expired tabs from March 2010. Upon contact, the driver told officers he pulled over only because the female passenger dropped some-thing that she needed to pick up. The driver exited the vehicle and agreed to complete voluntary field sobriety tests and a breath test. The breath test result registered at 0.110. The driver was taken to the police station for DUI processing and the female passenger was transported home where she was

released.THEFT: Officers responded

Feb. 22 to the report of a vehicle prowl at a restaurant on SR 410. The reporting party told officers an unknown suspect got into his unlocked vehicle and took $40 and a sweatshirt.

SUSPENDED LICENSE: Officers on a routine patrol Feb. 22 observed a vehicle driving south on 214th Ave. East. A records check showed the driver to have his driving status revoked along with an outstanding warrant. Officers transported the driver to the Puyallup jail where he was booked. He was also issued a criminal citation for third degree driving with a suspended license and a notice of infraction for driving without insurance.

VANDALISM: Officers responded Feb. 20 to the 185th Ave. East to the report of mailboxes being knocked over or destroyed. Upon arrival, officers spoke with the reporting party who told them they were inside their home and heard voices outside. The husband told officers, he saw three male subjects flee from his mailbox. Upon further investigation, it appeared that roughly 13 mailboxes had either been damaged, tampered with or destroyed on 185th Ave. East, 68th Street East or on 188th Ave. East. Also while conducting a search of the area, officers observed a stop sign and another sign were found knocked on the ground.

ASSAULT, MORE: Officers responded to the report of a physi-cal domestic dispute between a mother and son. The husband has an Order of Protection against the son that does not allow him from being on the property. He came by and spoke with the mother but they began arguing and she asked him to leave. Before he left the scene, he hit the door hard enough to slam his mom’s hand into the wall causing it to swell and bruise. He also spit in her face before he left the residence. Officers conducted an area check with negative results. A criminal citation for assault and order violation were sent to the Bonney Lake Prosecutor.

FRAUD: Officers spoke Feb. 19 with the reporting party in the department lobby regarding a phone call the man received. He told officers he received a call from a man in the Dominican Republic claiming to be a police officer who told him his granddaughter was in jail and he needed to wire $1,300 for bail. He told officers, the man on the phone then put a crying female on to act as the granddaughter. The man went to a local SR 410 store and purchased a money order in the requested amount and wired it to the account provided. The man was later contacted by his grand-daughter who was in Seattle and not in jail.

WARRANTS: Officers were noti-fied Feb. 18 by the Kent Municipal Court that a male subject had five outstanding Bonney Lake warrants. Officers assumed custody of the subject from the court house and transported him to the Enumclaw jail where he was booked.

They were arrested, issued criminal citations and trespassed from the store.

MULTIPLE WEAPONS: Police stopped a vehicle for speeding at 11:30 p.m. Feb. 18 on state Route 410. Officers discovered multiple weapons in the vehicle and found the driver, a 21-year-old Puyallup man, to be in possession of a loaded firearm and lacking a permit. He was issued a criminal citation and released at the scene, while the firearm was taken as evidence.

AUTO THEFT: A victim arrived at the police station at 5:30 a.m. Feb. 18, reporting his vehicle had been stolen from a parking lot on state Route 410.

ARSON AND MORE: While on patrol at 11:36 p.m. Feb. 17, police found a golf cart fully engulfed in flames. The incident occurred on Spruce Street at Van Sickle Avenue. Firefighters extinguished the blaze. Police also discovered someone had spray-painted the pavement and knocked down two new community mail boxes.

ARRESTED, BOOKED: After

witnessing one vehicle following too closely behind another, police stopped a driver on state Route 410. It was discovered the 20-year-old Buckley man was driving with a suspended license; also, he was wanted on an outstanding warrant issued by Bonney Lake. He was arrested and turned over to Bonney Lake police, who booked the man into the Enumclaw jail.

COMMITTED: Police responded to Wilkeson the night of Feb. 14 after hearing of a fight in progress. Officers contacted a man who had been listed as a missing person. He appeared to be intoxicated. The situation escalated and the man was involuntarily committed to a hospital, to be evaluated by a medi-cal personnel.

Marianne Binetti offers a free seminar beginning at 7 p.m. March 14 at Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 N.E. 80th St. in Redmond. The topic will be “Delightful Gardens in Dry Shade.” Register at www.brown-papertickets.com/event/887959.

Spring projects sprout this time of year. March is good time to restore and rejuvenate an old lawn, start some raised beds for vegetables and weed and mulch the flower and shrub beds to keep out future weeds and conserve

soil moisture. These spring proj-ects will require soil and mulch resources – so here is the garden gossip: buying soil can be a dirty business. The sale of “topsoil” is not

a regulated industry in our state.It’s time to educate yourself

and ask questions before purchas-ing topsoil for landscape or lawn renovation projects. My mail tells me the biggest consumer com-plaint about buying topsoil, bark or compost is that products can be contaminated with horsetail or other noxious weeds. Consumers have also reported having a load of “soil” delivered that is full of large rocks, building debris like nails and sheet rock and even undecomposed food scraps and

garbage.Gardeners in Western

Washington are lucky to have many vendors of soil, compost and mulches with excellent repu-tations who have been in business for many years. Here are some tips from successful soil compa-nies that have managed to keep their products weed- and debris-free and their customers happy through the years.

1.Ask if the company does product testing and how

often they test the soil. Jami

Burke of Corliss Resources is a horticulturist that helps create the compost and topsoil at the indoor compost making operation for Corliss Resources in Sumner.

“Our soil is tested quarterly and we undergo strict testing as a reg-istered organic material with the Washington State Department of Agriculture,” he said. “Constant monitoring of the heat and oxy-gen is key to creating clean, weed free compost.”

Corliss Resources also sells topsoil that mixes their weed-free compost with sand and loam and offer both a two-way mix suitable for lawn renovation and a three-way mix for land-scaping and garden beds. Learn more at www.corlissresources.com.

2.Ask what goes into the product and where the

ingredients come from. Jason Gwerder makes mountains of Moo Doo on his family farm in Enumclaw and uses only the resources given to them from their organically fed and free range cow, calf and dairy opera-tion.

“We have a closed loop system for feeding and caring for our animals,” Gwerder said. “We know our manure-based mulch-ing product will be weed-free because we heat our product to 180 degrees and age it for two to five years. We don’t truck in raw materials so we know exactly what goes into our Moo Doo – it all comes from our organic farm from start to finish.” Learn more about Hy Grass Farms at www.moo-doo.com.

3.Ask where the product is created and who oversees

the operation. Tagro is munici-pal sludge or biosolids recycled by the city of Tacoma into a mix with sawdust and bark that can be added as an amendment to lawns and garden beds. Tagro is not sold as a topsoil but rather as a product to improve exist-ing soils. Tagro is made on site in Tacoma and is available for

pick up or delivery. Donald Boe is the local Tagro expert and explains that creating Tagro is a dual-digestion process that uses beneficial organisms to digest the solids and also a three-tem-perature heat cycle to remove odor, weeds and other patho-gens. Tagro is tested and graded by the EPA and has earned a Class A ranking for exceptional quality. Visit www.Tagro.com.

Consumers should visit com-pany’s websites to understand what they offer. Consumers also need to know that finding occa-sional clods or dirt lumps, small rocks or a bit of stringy mate-rial in a load of compost or top-soil does not detract from the overall quality of the product. What you should be concerned about are visible weeds, espe-cially horsetail, undecomposed branches, fresh manure, ciga-rette butts, plastic pieces or any undecomposed food scraps.

All the Dirt on Words to Know

• Compost – a soil amend-ment of well-rotted organic matter often made from col-lected yard waste. Compost can be used to improve existing soils and is excellent for raised bed vegetable gardens.

• Two-way mix – usually a mix of compost and sand. This is the best for layering on top of a well-aerated lawn and sprin-kling lawn seeds on top for lawn renovation. The sand in the mix means it will drain well and can be used to rake over moss and low spots in the lawn.

• Three-way mix or five-way mix – Compost, sand and loam

plus, in some cases, sawdust and bark are mixed. This creates a soil that holds water better than a two-way mix but drains better than compost. It’s good for creating planting berms for trees and shrubs and can also be used for growing vegetables and flowers.

• Mulch – anything that goes on top of the soil to block out weeds and seal in moisture. In some areas, rocks and gravel are used as a mulch but in Western Washington bark and wood chips are the most common mulching materials.

• Composted manure - Western Washington is dairy country and well-composted dairy manure is available from some local farmers for use as a soil amendment and in some cases as a weed-blocking mulch. To avoid weed seeds, the manure should be heated in a pile and aged so it is well rotted.

formed or in service of great and glorious Wizard of I Am.

I learned long ago to never pre-dict the future. I can barely predict where I will be in the next seven minutes, or remember where I am supposed to be in the next seven minutes.

The writing goddesses Sarah and Becky are constantly telling me where I should be and point-ing out I am not there… wherever there is. Nothing like youth and a functional brain complete with memory. I must have had that once.

Most of the articles I come across concerning newspapers are authored by someone who is not producing a paper.

Here is a secret: No one has a clue what’s ahead – including those attractive guys with beer cans strapped to their heads call-ing for the apocalypse.

I have been looking over The Courier-Herald editions from the early 1900s. One thing stood out to me. Papers change and adapt to time and place.

In the 1920s, The Courier-Herald printed everything from

local to national and international news. Beside a story about the president might be a piece about the spirited rummy game at Mrs. Morticia Whedudle’s house. I will not be covering rummy games anytime soon.

I am working on a bringing in a mystery columnist raised on the Plateau who is conversant with moo cows and milking. (There is a scurrilous rumor started by an anonymous source named S.G. with apparent hair that she is a secret vegan. I will be investigating this in a future column.)

In my estimation the essential ingredient for a newspaper is find-ing the right slurry of news, com-munity, sports and fun. I believe writers who are interested in the subject will produce better stories – stories readers want to read.

Of course, newspapers have two avenues today – the print publica-tion and the web.

That is broad and colorful pal-ette.

Editor’s Note: Seattle Opera’s presentation of Handel’s “Semele” is excellent. It is an opera the young will enjoy. It is not just for boring buttermilk-drinkers like me.
