This Week...• Enumclaw Lions Club White Cane Days Drive

The Enumclaw Lions Club will be outside the Enumclaw QFC store May 8 and 9 asking for contributions to support the sight programs of the North-west Lions Foundation. All proceeds from this fund-raiser assist children and adults in our community with sight restoration and preservation. Last year the mobile Health Screening Unit provided free checkups for sight, glaucoma diabetes and blood pressure to more the 30,000 people. In the past 10 years, Plateau area pa-trons have donated more than $18,000 to this worthy cause.

Talk of marijuana production has been wafting through both Enumclaw and Buckley in recent days.

Both Plateau communities are hearing of local property owners interested in breaking into the legal world of cannabis production. But, while ideas have been floated, neither city appears close to making a leap toward allowing legal grow operations.

EnumclawWhile a request was made, nothing

is happening.The appeal came from local

businessman Scott Fitzsimmons, who went before the Enumclaw City Council April 27 to ask something be done that would allow him to lease space to a marijuana producer.

Fitzsimmons owns a warehouse facility at 1101 Battersby Ave. and

There was no sound when the state Route 410 barrier fell off the overpass and onto Angeline Road below, wit-nesses to the tragedy on April 13 said.

One moment the barrier was there, and the next, it was on the road below.

The barrier instantly killed Bonney Lake residents Josh, Vanessa and baby Hudson Ellis.

Now the dust is finally settling as the first installment of police reports inves-tigating the tragedy became available on May 1, and witness testimony in the

The Enumclaw School District bond was unsettled Monday, too close to call.

On Election Day, April 28, it was short of the necessary 60 percent approval with 3,185 votes for the bond, 58.64 percent, and 2,246 against, 41.36 percent.

Thursday, the bond moved across the 60 percent line with

by six votes. Friday it slipped back under the 60 percent line by three votes.

When more ballots were counted Monday, the percent-age had shuffled to 59.99 in support, 40.01 opposed.

Ballots will be counted and results posted at about 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday until May 12.

The King County emergen-cy radio proposition passed with 65 percent support.

believes he could see more profit if the space was used for a commercial marijuana-growing operation. And, Fitzsimmons said, there’s no shortage of growers seeking his space.

“I have been approached probably about 10 times now, for growing medical marijuana in my building,” he told the council.

“I know this is a sensitive subject for everybody, but it’s a legal substance now,” Fitzsimmons said, noting that there’s money to be made in the marijuana trade. Aside from filling his own coffers, Fitzsimmons noted that city revenues would be enhanced when perhaps an additional 80 jobs were added.

He assured the council that his building is 100 percent secure. There are no windows, he noted, adding that security staff would be on hand 24 hours a day.

In the larger scheme of things, Fitzsimmons said, marijuana is a growing industry.“The momentum is there,” he said. “Enumclaw’s not going to stop it. The federal government is looking at

legalizing it throughout the country.”During a private conversation with The Courier-Herald, Fitzsimmons said potential marijuana growers are

offering lease payments that triple the income he now receives.As things now stand, Fitzsimmons’ desires cannot be allowed.Both the city’s Planning Commission and City Council have taken a stance on marijuana production and

sales. While such operations are acknowledged in the city’s zoning code, they’re not allowed anywhere within the city limits.

For Fitzsimmons’ request to become reality, the council would have to approve a zoning change.As of late last week, nothing had changed on the city’s marijuana front. Erica Shook, who heads the De-

partment of Community Development, said she would need some direction from council to begin initiating any change in zoning. Contacted Friday afternoon, Shook had heard nothing.

BuckleyTalk about a parcel of land being considered for marijuana production caught the city a bit off guard,

Mayor Pat Johnson said.But the issue is quickly being addressed, she added.Members of the Buckley City Council met Tuesday night for a regularly-scheduled workshop and were

scheduled to address the growing issue, Johnson said.The word circulating through town is someone is considering buying a parcel of land on McNeely Street.

Part two of the conversation is that the proposed buyer would like to manufacture recreational marijuana on the large lot.

Johnson said such a move might be legal from the city’s standpoint. About 10 years ago, when the city last reviewed and adopted its Comprehensive Plan, land in the area under consideration was OK’d for agricultural purposes.

Back then, Johnson said, no one thought about cannabis as a legal crop. Keeping an agricultural designa-tion, she said, was a way to protect people who might keep a horse on their land, she said.

Also, a decade ago there were few homes in the area, compared with today.Johnson said if such a move were in the works, it would first go to the state’s Liquor Control Board, mean-

ing the city would be kept out of the immediate loop.Council members have options at their disposal, the mayor said, including passing an emergency mora-

torium prohibiting marijuana-growing operations. Such a move would not impact the two retail shops now selling recreational marijuana in the city limits.

report reveal what happened in the crucial minutes before the barrier fell.

With the initial investiga-tion complete, construction on the state Route 410 over-pass above Angeline Road resumed on May 4, accord-ing to a city press release.

The city and WHH Nisqually, the prime contrac-tor responsible for widening the overpass and installing a sidewalk for pedestrians on SR 410, agreed to remove subcontractors Hamilton Construction Company, Staton Companies and American Concrete Cutting

from the project.At time of press, it

is unknown whether Highmark Concrete Contractors has hired new subcontractors to help finish the project.

Before the barrier fellAccording to a Staton

Companies foreman Morgan Marney, the con-struction crew met at 7 a.m. to discuss the demolition plan for the SR 410 barrier.

The cutting of the con-crete began at about 7:30 a.m. by an American Concrete Cutting employ-ee.

Marney told police he understood the barrier would be cut horizontally

where the barrier met the bridge.

According to the police report, Marney said he measured the width of the barrier to be 16 inches and planned to cut away only 11 inches of the barrier, leav-ing 5 inches of concrete left to connect the barrier to the bridge.

“The eleven inch depth would be accomplished in three passes with each pass at a depth between three to four inches,” the police report stated.

After the concrete was finished being cut hori-zontally, an excavator was going to grab hold of the barrier wall as the concrete cutter then cut the wall ver-

tically, separating the bar-rier into several 8 or 10 foot sections, weighing between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds each.

The excavator would then break off that section of the barrier, and the pro-cess would continue down the barrier.

Richard Dugan, who was operating the concrete saw, said he was about two-thirds down the length of the barrier during the second horizontal cut pass when he saw the bridge leaning in.

Both he and Marney said they thought the bridge was just settling on the deck when the barrier fell, according to the police report.

Dugan told police there was no indication the bar-rier was going to fall, and didn’t know what he could have done differently.

There is conflicting wit-ness testimony as to wheth-er Dugan was on his second or third horizontal cut pass.

Demolition plan confusion

Staton Companies employee Jonathan Carlton told police investigators he was confused as to why the removal of the barrier wasn’t performed in a safer manner.

Carlton was not on-site

when the barrier wall fell.According to Carlton,

the barrier should have been cut vertically first, separating the barrier into 8 to 10 foot sections while still being “firmly anchored at the bottom of the bridge deck,” the police report stated.

After the vertical cuts were complete, the hori-zontal cuts would start sep-arating the barrier from the bridge deck, leaving about 5 inches on concrete left connecting the barrier to the bridge.

The barrier section would then be snapped off by an excavator.

According to the BR. 410 Partial Demolition Plan, an email from Carlton to Highmark Concrete Contractors on Feb. 10, 2015 mentioned cutting the

barrier wall vertically first and horizontally second.

Carlton told police if the cuts were made in a logical order, only a small section of a barrier would have fall-en instead of the entire bar-rier, and steps could have been taken to safely cut the other sections.

Carlton commented how during two other Staton Companies projects, the barrier were sectioned properly by making the vertical cuts before the hor-izontal cuts.

Wrong excavatorAccording to witness-

es, the wrong excavator for barrier removal was brought on to the job site.

It takes a village, the saying goes, but the new Rainier State School superintendent is getting a crash course in just how much effort it takes to run a 24 hour, seven day a week habilitation center for developmentally dis-abled individuals.

Harvey Perez, who came on board as the superin-tendent April 6, has spent the first three weeks of his new position getting to know Rainier staff and how the pieces of the school all fit together.

“There is a lot of diversi-ty in the work,” said Perez. “You have to do laundry for the residents, cook for them, maintain facilities, you’ve got doctors and we provide medical care, social services and psy-chologists.”

As superintendent at Rainier, Perez is a little bit like the mayor of a small town. With close to 330 residents and 830 employ-ees, Perez facilitates meet-ings between subject experts and Rainier staff to make sure communica-tion is smooth on campus.

“You want to make sure they’re working well, they’re coordinating well, and they’re problem-solv-ing well,” Perez said. “My job is to make sure every-one is working in concert.”

Although Perez is the leader of this community, he knows the backbone of the school are the staff, whom he has the ultimate respect for.

“I was raised by my single mom. Her pri-mary occupation was a house cleaner,” said Perez. “There’s no glamour in it, but she worked really hard. I always have that appreciation, so when I am out on campus and I see people working laun-dry, I can connect to that because that is the kind of work my mom did.”

Perez’s mother died April of this year, and he said he keeps her in his memory when he walks around the Rainier cam-pus.

“She was always about helping other. You’ve got to help others,” he said. “That what life is really about. So I like to honor her in that way.”

Perez’s predecessor was Neil Crowley, who retired mid-June of last year.

Doing more by doing less

Philosophically, the Rainier State School oper-ates like any mainstream school. Rainier’s main focus is to help residents grow in their indepen-dence, just like any middle and high school in the country.

However, Rainier spe-cializes by developing individualized education plans for each resident to help them reach their full potential.

“Employees work really hard to develop plans for each resident on how we

can best support them. That’s the one thing that continues to hit home,” said Perez. “You can’t apply one treatment for all clients. We really have to understand each client.”

Perez told a story about a resident who gets around campus, albeit slowly, with her wheelchair.

“She enjoys getting around campus,” Perez said. “That’s her indepen-dence. You don’t push her, you let her do her thing. That’s honoring her.”

Perez said there is a fine line between respecting Rainier residents’ indepen-

dence and trying to keep them safe and healthy, and with Rainier managing the gamut of resident abili-ties, from fully mobile to elderly and medically frag-ile, Perez said it is impor-tant to develop individual plans for residents so they can achieve their full inde-pendence.

“When we are looking at that plan, we try and look at it from the client’s per-spective, and make sure it is really driven by the client,” Perez said.

Rainier focuses on what the school calls active treatment – activities and

chores that promote resi-dent independence – and training staff to recog-nize when a resident can help in a chore or activity, instead of staff performing it for the resident.

“Doing more means you doing less and the client doing more,” Perez said. “We are working diligently on that.”

BONNEY LAKEANIMAL TRAPPED:

Officers were dispatched to a residential address to address a trespass and theft report on April 21.

The reporting party told officers her neighbor came onto her property to remove a cat trap contain-ing a cat and took it to his residence.

Officers were advised by animal control that any residence is allowed to bait and trap animals on their property, including pets.

The reporting party claimed she was highly allergic to cats and doesn’t want them on her prop-erty, which is why she trapped the cat.

The trap was returned to the reporting party and the cat to the owner. Officers forwarded a charge of theft to the City of Bonney Lake prosecu-tor.

When officers started asking the driver ques-tions, the driver could not answer simple questions about his identity.

Officers performed a record check on the driv-ers identity and learned how tall the person was.

After asking the driver to step out of the vehicle, officers noticed the driver was several inches shorter than he should have been.

Officers then located a booking photo of the driver, confirming he was posing as his brother.

Officers arrested the driver for driving with a suspended license and providing false informa-tion, as well as failing to transfer the title of the vehicle within 45 days.

The car was later pulled out from the snow.

S H O P L I F T E R CAUGHT: On April 23, officers responded to a shoplifting call at a SR 410 business in Bonney Lake.

The suspect was issued a criminal citation for theft in the third degree and was trespassed for life from the store.

S U S P I C I O U S PERSON: A call was made on April 24 from an SR 410 business with a person in the parking lot with their pants down.

The driver of the car was having trouble answering the officer’s questions and finding requested docu-ments.

The suspect appeared intoxicated but denied drinking any alcohol that night.

Later, the suspect admitted to having a few drinks earlier.

The preliminary breath test registered a BAC of 0.222.

The driver was arrest-ed for DUI and the car was impounded by J&J Towing.

STOLEN CANDY: Officers responded to a shoplifting complaint from a business on SR 410.

The reporting party claimed the suspect stole some candy and left the store.

When officers located the suspect, they denied stealing the candy.

The suspect also said they may have a warrant for their arrest.

The warrant was con-firmed for burglary in the second degree and the suspect was book into the Enumclaw jail.

No candy was found on the suspect.

The King County Prosecutor’s Of f ice charged Jeremy Blakely, 35, with second degree murder in the April 27 shooting of Richard Napier, 56, in Ravensdale.

Blakely is also charged with first degree unlawful possession of a firearm.

He is being held on $1 million bail at the Regional Justice Center in Kent and he is to have no contact with the two wit-nesses from the shooting.

Napier was pronounced dead around 7:30 a.m. after medics were unable to revive him.

The certificate of prob-able cause report from the King County Sheriff ’s Office said deputies responded to reports of

a shooting around 6:45 a.m. April 27 at a mobile home park.

W hen detec t ives arrived on scene, Blakely was outside a mobile home with a pistol.

The report stated Blakely told detectives he shot Napier.

Detectives spoke with the female witness who called 911.

She told them she had been staying with Blakely and Napier for a few days

along with the male wit-ness, who had come by to see her that morning.

She said Blakely seemed upset and he left while she packed her belongings.

The woman said Blakely returned shortly after and found Napier in the kitchen.

According to the woman that was when the first shot was fired.

As Blakely turned to the woman, the report stated she pleaded with

him not to hurt her and he let her grab her purse and go.

Before she could exit the front door, she heard another shot go off.

She ran outside to where the male witness who had come to see her was waiting in his car.

When detectives spoke with the male witness, the story was quite the same.

The man said as

The next few weeks will bring the opening innings of a bucket full of local political races. Enumclaw, Bonney Lake, Buckley and Sumner have four city council seats up for grabs. Wilkeson has two.

Black Diamond has nearly the whole clubhouse on the ballot due to a mix of expiring terms and resignations.

The filing period is May 11-15.Like whiney

teenagers, cities go through periods of turmoil, angst and severe throwing of arms in the air. Bonney Lake had its dance in the firelight of the full moon a few years back and came

through it. If you feel your hamlet is a burning burger on an overheated grill, not to worry. Be assured the sky is really falling but, like water, a community will eventually find its level – it is all Politics 101.

After covering political races for what feels like an eternity, I have settled on one fact. I know less and less each year.

I am sure most who sign on the campaign line believe it is an act of service to the community, but as a responsible voter, we must be aware of the Gordian knot of motiva-tions pushing and pulling any candidate.

Beware of the Ides of November and candidates who duck, dodge and refuse to answer questions because the newspaper guy is Mr. Ruin Your Life. Here is that logic taken to the edge of the rancid wading pool: It’s a negative story because the media covered it, which means an ax murder story would be positive if the dopey media guys just didn’t report it. (I suddenly have as stomach ache.)

After Japan’s surrender in August 1945, the U.S. military occupied that nation for seven years. During that time two American privates wrote a constitu-tion for the Japanese, which they accepted and have followed since.

Part of the agreement was that Japan would rely upon the United States for protection and would only

have a defensive military force. Now, 70 years after the end of World War II, the relation-ship between the U.S. and Japan is beginning to change. That

change is part of the reason that Prime Minister Abe visited the presi-dent and spoke before Congress last week.

In John Minnich’s Stratfor

Analysis, called, “Prelude to a Japanese Revival” from April 28, 2015, Minnich noted that while the prime minister’s visit was largely symbolic, it presages a changing role for Japan.

The two major topics discussed between Prime Minister Abe and President Obama were defense and trade. Abe strongly committed him-self to supporting the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership encourag-ing free trade being negotiated and

Don’t take on a project if there’s no follow-up

Note: the following is in reply to an “In Focus” column by Rich Elfers (Courier-Herald, April 22.)

Streets and roads all over the Puget Sound region are in various stages of disrepair. The results being similar to that in Enumclaw.

What do local governments think

will happen if they build a road and then ignore it? Projects should not be taken on if the necessary follow-up is not part of the plan. Maybe governments need to stop taking on new programs if they are unable to provide long-term care for existing programs.

You mentioned “knee-jerk” reac-tion to tax increases. It seems that government at all levels reacts in the same way: raise taxes. Working and retired taxpayers face an ever-increasing tax burden from all lev-els of government. Take a real-

world look at levies, fees, assess-ments, sales tax rates, gas taxes – none are decreasing. When tax-payers reject additional taxes often times they are saying find a better way to do it.

How about a little long-term thinking? Delaying action has never solved a problem; it doesn’t take a paid consultant to understand that idea.

Thanks for putting this topic out for discussion.

SEE ELFERS, PAGE 8

I recently watched a documentary that com-memorated a famous Hawaiian surfer, Eddie Aikau. He grew up in Hawaii and became one of the most famous Hawaiian surfers of the 1970s. His name in Hawaiian means feeding parent, nurturing foster parent.

I watched with fasci-nation as he maintained his balance on even the highest and most power-ful waves. He became the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay on Oahu. During his time as a lifeguard, he never lost a single person; he saved more than 500 persons.

As I ref lected upon his

life, I began to see parallels to our personal struggles and the role Jesus plays in calming our waters.

As I ref lected upon Eddie’s story, it occurred to me that high waves and storms come crashing around us, as the storms of life. In those times we need security in order to live through the tumult

and not lose our balance. Like surf-ers, it is easy to become overcome by the power of problems, lose our balance and feel overwhelmed. In fact, sometimes we may feel like we are drowning in a

sea of obstacles.Jesus knew this to be

true. Consider the story when Jesus and the disci-ples were on a boat cross-ing the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was asleep in the boat when a wind storm came up, causing waves to spill over the boat; the boat was nearly swamped by the waves. The disciples

were very frightened. They woke Jesus up and said: “Lord, save us! We are per-ishing!” Jesus asked the dis-ciples why they were afraid? Then he rebuked the winds and the sea and then the storm ceased.

If we want to be honest with ourselves, the disci-ples are not the only ones whose faith falters. It is part of being human to struggle with faith when things get tough. But the point of the story is that Jesus has the power to res-cue us from our storms, such as sickness, loss of job, marriage problems: you can add your own list. But it does not matter the nature of the problem.

After all, Jesus came to offer us life and he con-quered death.

Now, Jesus does not promise that we will be free of problems. If that was the case, he could have told the disciples to wait because the storm was coming. But he did not do that. His purpose was to show us that despite prob-lems, we can trust in him. In James 1:12 we are told

that those who endure temptation are blessed. Those who stand up to the test will “receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” God will not abandon us.

Faith in Christ is never displaced. If he can calm the storms with a word, then he can help us get through the storms that come into our lives.

We must maintain balance during life’s stormsChurch Corner

• Helen Stygar •Helen Stygar died at age 97. She was born 5-5-1917, in Seattle WA, to Alfred and Jennie Janson. One of 3 children, including Ruth Janson Farman and Evelynn Janson Bellinger.

Graduated Enumclaw High School 1935. Graduated business college in Seattle. Met and married Victor Duncan and moved to southern California.

Helen gave birth to 4 children, 3 now deceased including long time Enumclaw resident Gary Duncan (Arly).

excluding China by the Obama Administration. This pending trade pact will include 36 percent of the world’s GDP, according to Minnich.

Japan’s economy, while third in the world behind China and the U.S., has stagnated for the past two decades. Part of that stag-nation is due to Japan off-shoring its industries to low-wage countries, just as the U.S. has done and now China is being forced to do. Abe wants to end that stag-nation and also deal with an emerging China as the world’s second superpower.

The major reasons for this change, according to Minnich, is that Obama is in the process of develop-ing “A Grand American Strategy” in his “pivot to Asia” where, instead of the U.S. protecting Pacific nations like Japan, these nations will take a stron-ger role in protecting themselves in cooperation

with other Pacific nations. These changes are occur-ring with the tacit support and approval of the United States.

That “Grand Strategy” is also playing out in the Middle East where we are now seeing Saudi Arabia create alliances to deal with the Iranian threat in Yemen instead of relying on the U.S. Turkey also is emerg-ing as a major regional power to vie with Saudi Arabia and Iran for region-al leadership in the region. Turkey, with its strategic control of the Dardanelles, is also pressuring Russia, which, according to Minnich, may suffer an economic collapse.

It is no coincidence, according to Minnich, that Abe also visited the Silicon Valley, because as com-puter warfare and space-based military weapons systems loom on the hori-zon, being in the forefront of the technological shifts is paramount for all the major nations of the world, including Japan.

Minnich noted that Japan’s aging population saw a 7.7 million person drop in working-age pop-ulation and an 8 million person increase in Social Security payments between 2005-15. Those payments are now the single greatest cost to the government.

Additionally, Japan’s economic stagnation, the rise of China as a super-power and Obama’s Grand American strategic shift are all playing a part in Abe’s visit to the U.S.

Abe’s goals as Japan’s prime minister may not be able to bring about all the policy changes that are need-ed to revive Japan both mili-tarily and economically. It is, however, a beginning in the transformation of a country that was soundly defeated at the end of WWII and occupied by the United States until 1952.

Seventy years later we see Japan in the midst of another transformation, also brought about by the might and influence of the United States.

ELFERS FROM 6

CORNER FROM 6

There are few moments in life as heartwarming as an elected blaming the questionable answer given (sometimes known as an outright alternative reality) on the crummy question from the dippy editor. That darn truth thing. (I will stipulate the editor’s brain is fuzzy blue cheese dip... I can’t stand me either.)

For the political system to work, each part of the equation must add up... at least a little.

On the campaign side, candidates might as well embrace being a politician. I have always felt the whim-pering about political skills

and ambitions is snobby nonsense. We all use politi-cal tools at times or end up in the “I got fired and I don’t know why” line.

Politicians are in for far more criticism than most new candidates imagine. A candidate is always loved, until the hand is raised. Then it is time to deliver, or you have a brand new enemy that probably knows your weird middle name (thanks Mom).

On the voters’ side of the equation, our job is to be brainy box checkers. I suspect the many problem with the wrong wacko get-ting in office rest squarely in the hands of those filling out ballots... us.

As voters we need to be

diligent detectives – talk and promises are easy, government action is hard. There is a reason for that. Goofy ideas are plentiful; I have at least one each hour (ask Becky and Sarah but please don’t believe them… only believe me).

Maybe if both parts of the equation put in the effort, the sum will be a positive number. If things don’t work out your way, give it time. One can never tell what’s around the next election corner.

The good news is our Constitution was carefully crafted by very learned guys to withstand the worst, and it has.

Enumclaw resident Elbert Reed is the newest member of a panel that monitors and reviews funding for veteran-related programs paid for from the Veterans and Human Services Levy.

The Metropolitan King County Council gave its unanimous approval to Reed’s three-year appointment to the Veterans Citizen Levy Oversight Board during the Council’s April 13 meeting.

Reed, an active member and past com-mander of the Enumclaw VFW Post

1949, was nominated for the board by Metropolitan King County Councilman Reagan Dunn. Reed will represent the veterans of the Ninth Council District on the board.

“I am very thankful to have a person of such high quality serving on the Veterans Board,” Dunn said. “Elbert brings his background as a veteran, his management skills from his years at Weyerhaeuser and

1306955

A few weeks ago, my Facebook newsfeed was inundated with friends honoring their brothers and sisters for National Sibling Day. Instead of posting an embarrassing photo of my little brother wearing nothing but toddler-sized cowboy boots and a grin, I decided he deserved some-thing more. Like 900 words or so.

In the summer of 1981 my parents announced that my mom was pregnant and that I would soon have a brother or sister. I pondered the idea of a new playmate and for some reason put in a request for a brother.

Fast forward to a bright February day when my grandparents were in charge of me because my mom had a doctor appointment; I fielded a phone call on the green rotary phone in the office of the milking parlor where I had been playing. My dad was on the line let-ting me know my brother was here. I was so excited; my wish for a playmate had been granted! I promptly asked if he could come out to the barn to play with me. My dad chuckled on the other end of the phone and replied, “I don’t think so.” What a disappointment.

As a compromise, my grandma loaded me into the back of her blue Oldsmobile that smelled of butterscotch candy and plastic rain scarves. She drove me to the hospital so I could see my parents and meet my new

brother. We arrived in a waiting room area and were greeted by my dad wear-ing pale blue scrubs. He was holding a small ball of rolled up blankets, encasing a squished, red-faced crea-ture that he claimed was my brother. What a rip off. That was no playmate. I changed my mind. Little did I know, the worst was yet to come.

A few days later, my mom brought that little critter home. Ugh… He cried and everyone raced over to see what he needed; they cooed over him and gave him all sorts of attention that surely should have been given to me. My five-year reign as Only Child had sadly come to an end. People would come to visit and bring him gifts. Seriously? He couldn’t even pick his own nose, what was he going to do with presents? The visitors would beg to hold him and declare his handsomeness. This just added to my dismay, until one day, the most lovely lady on the Plateau descended upon our home. Gloria Lekkerkerker greeted me at the door like a fairy god-mother. In her hand was the prettiest pink plastic Hello Kitty coin purse. For me! It softened the blow of being

dethroned – a little.As the critter grew

into a drooling baby who would smile when I read or talked to him, he became a little less annoying. He grew up a little more and was finally able to fulfill his role as my play-

mate for a brief time. Even though I found him mild-ly annoying, I was fiercely loyal to my sibling (and still am). When our school bus driver upset him by tossing his pet frog out the window less than 100 yards from dropping us off, I began my career as a civil rights activ-ist. I did not hesitate to let her know how unreasonable that was. I closed with a firm, “You will be hearing from my mom!” and stormed off the bus.

Soon after that, I became a teenager and embarked on a roller coaster of moods known to bring even the strongest parents to their knees. I instructed my brother on what to wear, say and do in my pres-ence. I even told him how to breathe when riding in my car. (In my defense, the defroster didn’t work well and all that extra

breath made it difficult to see through the wind-shield.) As I went on to col-lege he became a little less annoying. He also grew a little taller than me and I could no longer overpow-er him physically. Then, the next best thing since Gloria Lekkerkerker came along. I turned 21 and my little brother got his drivers license. I had an instant des-ignated driver from week-night, post-softball partying at CJ Coasters! I only had to call on his services a handful of times, but it was nice to know he was there.

Through the years, I have learned to appreciate the many traits of my little brother that were once so irritating. His level head and cool temper are a nice balance to my emotion-driven outbursts. The gen-erosity, kindness and com-passion he offers without hesitation to those in need is humbling to watch. He displays the highest level of professionalism and dedication to his job as a firefighter. Being a devoted husband and father comes naturally to him. I could add to this list with another

300 words or so, but I don’t want him to become arro-gant. I am proud to claim him as my brother (unlike earlier years). That fierce loyalty I felt toward him has grown exponentially over time and extends to his dar-ling little family. He, like my parents, deserves more recognition than he will ever get, especially through a silly Facebook post. So if you run into him at church, a city council meeting or a school field trip, give him a hug, a handshake or a high-five for surviving our childhood. He deserves it.

The Bonney Lake High base-ball team dropped to 10-2 in South Puget Sound League 3A play after twice losing to league leader Auburn Mountainview last week.

The Panthers hosted the first game of the series April 28.

The game entered extra innings and the Lions won 2-1 after nine.

Panther senior Grant Townsend didn’t give up a hit during the eight innings he pitched. He threw 101 pitches, struck out nine and walked three batters.

When Bonney Lake made a pitch-ing change in the ninth inning for senior Taylor Graham, Auburn Mountainview got its first hit of the game.

With the win, Auburn Mountainview snagged sole posses-sion of first place.

The two teams faced off Thursday in the final game of the series, this time at Auburn Mountainview.

The Panthers lost 7-2.Bonney Lake scored first, plating

one run in the first.However, the lead didn’t last long.The Lions managed to score two in

the bottom of the first, then contin-ued to add to their lead.

The Lions scored three more in the second and two in the third.

Entering the top of the fourth, the Lions had a 7-1 lead.

The fourth and fifth innings were scoreless.

Bonney Lake’s final run of the

game came in the sixth, but it wasn’t enough.

The Panthers look to secure second place in the SPSL 3A as the last week of regular season play nears.

The final games come against rival Sumner.

Sumner currently sits in third place with a 9-3 league record, 13-5 overall.

The series between the dis-trict rivals was played Monday and Tuesday. Sumner hosted Monday’s game and the Panthers looked to host the final regular season game.

Scores from these games can be found online at blscourierherald.com.

Once the regular season wraps up, postseason play soon begins.

The first game of the 3A district tournament is scheduled for Saturday, May 9.

The May Day alert begins this month and it is time to invest in some new and exciting plant material. We live in an age when sci-ence, marketing and a whole bunch of local nurseries make it possible for gardeners in Western Washington to have first dibs on easy-to-grow shrubs. May is the month to search out the best new shrubs and trees when nurseries are well-stocked and ripe with the promise of finding something new and different.

Hydrangea First Editions White Diamonds:: This is a pee gee hydrangea which means it can take full sun and will not turn blue or pink but bloom in the

summer with pointed white panicles fading to a creamy pink in the fall. What makes this hydrangea easy to grow is that it is more com-pact than the typical hydrangea panicalata. This hydrangea sur-vives our cold, damp

winters and was introduced by Bailey Nurseries out of Minnesota so you know it can handle a deep winter freeze and still flower. The name “First Editions” in front of the cultivar name of “White Diamonds” means this hydrangea earned a patent for being a shrub that is differ-ent, improved and amazingly beautiful.

Choisya Sundance Mexican Orange: Here is an evergreen shrub that will thrive in the shade and offers not only fragrant white blooms but glistening gold new foliage every spring. Mexican Orange is not related to the citrus family but was given the common name due to the sweet smell of the blossoms that reminds California growers of orange blossoms. In Western Washington Choisya is a great substitute for rhododendrons under the filtered sunlight of tall evergreens as the lime green and gold foliage helps to light up the shaded areas of the garden. As an added surprise the newly-cut foli-age can be brought indoors to use with cut f lowers and the fresh citrus scent clings to the leaves long after the f low-ers have faded. If you have a deep purple Japanese maple in your garden, pair it up with the golden foliage of Choisya Sundance Mexican Orange for a match

made in designer heaven. Crape Myrtle Largest First Editions

Coral Magic – or Midnight Magic or Plum Magic: Just when I thought I could not want another tree in my gar-den, along comes a winter-hardy and mildew-resistant crape myrtle. Attractive peeling bark, clusters of vivid blooms in late summer and fall leaf color make this a tree or shrub that offers year-round appeal. The big improvements mean that even if this crape Myrtle is hit by a freak snowstorm in early autumn, this heat-loving plant will come back from its established root system. This shrubby tree would be a wonderful gift to anyone who admired the bright blooms in late summer on these trees in warmer cli-mates as they are usually found showing off in Texas and Southern California. I have seen these hardy Crape Myrtyles for sale at local nurseries this spring. My advice is to buy them early because once they f lower in late summer every tree still left at the nursery will sell quickly. Not only are the blooms arranged in large, showy clusters but the colors are deep and vivid in shades of purple, plum or coral. Grow Crape Myrtle in full sun – the hotter the better – and protected from cold winds. Once established this plant is drought resistant.

BY RAECHEL DAWSON

Reporter

Bryce Kasota had to duck out early from King County Executive Dow Constantine’s state of the county address Monday.

It was to take an exam at Seattle Central College so she could continue maintain her 3.9 GPA and earn her associate degree in nursing.

But Kasota wasn’t always in the position to succeed.

“As a single mother before she finished high school, Bryce faced an uncertain future,” Constantine told a room of nearly 200 people at the Federal Way Commu-nity Center. “She credits a public health employee from the Nurse-Family Partner-ship with helping her escape an abusive relationship, and helping her become the sup-portive mother her daughter needs.”

Constantine said it’s early actions like this that sets the tone for lifelong success, which is why the county ex-ecutive, along with the King County Council, is propos-ing a six-year levy called Best Starts for Kids, to be on this November’s general election ballot.

Best Starts for Kids will raise $58 million in the first year, if passed, and will cost the average homeowner in King County “about a dollar a week.”

The levy lid increase would be about 14 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

“The failure to invest early leads to much costlier crisis interventions later — costlier for the individual, for society and for the county budget,” Constantine said. “And, of course, jail is the costliest and least effective crisis intervention of all.”

Despite King County’s 80,000 added jobs over the past two years, a low 4.5 percent unemployment rate and a median household income of $69,000, Constantine spoke of the “accelerating crisis of income inequality that threatens to undermine our economic future by undermining our

middle class.”Since 2000, the executive said King

County has seen a net increase of 85,000 households but less than 4 percent of these are middle-income. The rest is split between $125,000 annual income and those earning less than $35,000.

“And as King County has grown less equal, the racial and geographic distribu-tion of poverty has grown less equal as well,” he said. “Over the past 15 years, more than 80 percent of the growth in poverty has come in the suburbs outside of Seattle. Throughout the county, formerly middle-income neighborhoods are becoming either richer or poorer.”

What was once a distribution of 90 percent of American’s enjoying 70 percent of all income growth in the 1950-1970s, is now the top 1 percent of Americans receiv-ing 175 percent of all income growth from 2009-2012, he said.

“This mocks the fundamental principle on which we were all raised: That if we

work hard, we can all suc-ceed,” Constantine said. “It’s unfair. It is un-American. And it is economically un-sustainable.”

A diverse workforce brings innovation and economic success because as more people approach a problem with different perspectives, the faster and more efficiently that prob-lem is solved, he said.

“If we want to prosper in an economy fueled by innovation, then we must give all of our children — regardless of circumstance — the education and the opportunity to bring their

own unique talents to bear to solve the enormous problems that lie ahead –ending hunger, curing disease, confronting climate change,” he said.

However, creating alternatives to juvenile detention by cutting the number of chil-dren detained from 205 to 45, Constantine notes the racial disparity in juvenile deten-tion has grown.

African-American youth account for half of the population in the juvenile system, despite representing only 8 percent of youth in all of King County.

With help from the superior court, the prosecutor’s office, public defender, sheriff and King County Council, Constantine

reduced the number of detention beds in a new facility being built to create more space for “the primary mission of reconciliation and redemption.”

In order to continue the mission of end-ing racial disparity in juvenile detention, preventing homelessness, treating men-tal illness instead of criminalizing it and partnering with schools, the executive will create a committee that will gather leaders in 19 local school districts and police agen-cies from 39 Washington cities. It is the future work these leaders and committee will achieve by way of the proposed levy.

Best Starts for Kids touts prevention, in-vesting early in healthy babies and teenag-ers and promoting safer communities.

The levy funds will invest in mental

health screenings for all youth in King County, home visitations for new moms and families, universal access to devel-opmental screening, flexible funding for families and youth to prevent homeless-ness, walkable and connected communities and increased access to affordable healthy foods. All of these strategies are based on the latest brain science being conducted at the University of Washington.

“For decades, we’ve been led to believe we must accept a tradeoff between eco-nomic fairness and economic growth,” he said. “This just isn’t true. In a highly com-petitive global economy where the most innovative companies seek out the most diverse, inclusive workforce — fairness and growth go hand in hand.”

Constantine proposes levy for children, communities

Enumclaw’s Haley Johnson was recently tabbed as “Miss Greek” at the University of Washington, landed a $1,500 scholarship and – most important – was the top fund-raiser for a most worthy cause.

A 2014 graduate of Enumclaw High, Johnson is a freshman at the UW and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority. She was selected for the Miss Greek pageant, a year-long, philanthropic event which had her raising money for Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The effort culminated with an April 26 event where Johnson was awarded the coveted title.

She had set out to raise $10,000 for Fred Hutchinson but surpassed that with collections of $11,500. In total, the pag-eant generated $45,000 for the cancer center.

Johnson is grateful to all those who contributed, primarily the Enumclaw

community. She raised money through jewelry sales, a bake sale, garage sale and special night at the HopJacks restaurant in Maple Valley.

“My main source of funds was the incredible support from friends, family, alum-nae of my sorority, and

local businesses,” Johnson wrote in an email. “I gained so much support from the community of Enumclaw and the University of Washington community. The majority of my funds were raised through per-sonal donations, and the kindness of others.”

We are in the midst of complex changes in American education at all levels right now. These changes are not just impacting our stu-dents. Our teachers are being asked to do more than ever before. In White River our teachers are rising to the challenge with smiles on their faces. As hard as the work is, they see the impact on students - not just in knowing how to solve a problem, but also understanding the why. In this fast-paced, information heavy, rapidly changing world it will be critical that our gradu-

ates have the ability to process and synthesize information at high levels, no matter what their job.

We are so proud of the work our schools and teachers are doing. They have kept their focus on student learning and making sure that lessons are rigorous and engaging, as well as aligned with the new College and Career Ready state standards. Although every teacher and student knows that at this time of year we will be participating in the State Assessments, this doesn’t shift our focus of student learning. As we have been watching the news reports, we are also so proud that our families and com-munity trust and support us enough to send students to participate in the state tests. We have only had a few families � ll out test refusal forms and appreciate that support!

Hand in hand with this is the support our community extended when the Technology Bond was passed last year. This year we were able to im-prove the wiring and wireless capacity at all of our buildings and purchase 240 new laptops with more on the way. This will be a tremendous resource for our students as we move forward, and is proving to make all the di� er-ence in the success of our state testing as well. We were able to do all of our testing online this year, saving the cost of $24 per student for paper tests and also letting us get test scores back much quicker! The quote below from one of our teachers re� ects our district approach so well!

“Just want to say that I am one proud teacher! My third graders showed so much perseverance, worked so hard, never gave up, and tried their best. I can’t wait to see what the results are and how they do in writing and math. Thank you to the White River school district for purchasing the new laptops that the kids could test on. They are fabulous and we were able to test without any glitches!!! Today really ROCKED!!” ~ D. Saylor, 3rd Grade Teacher at Mt Mead-ow Elementary

Perhaps it is time to pause and re� ect on the importance and accom-plishments of our White River teachers and teachers across the country. If we take the time to look at the facts we would � nd a remarkable story unfolding. Last year was marked by record-setting graduation rates in White River and in the United States. And, these students graduated af-ter taking the most rigorous curriculum ever. The well-respected author and researcher, Diane Ravitch, points out the students are succeeding in schools at unprecedented levels. Results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress show beyond question that test scores in Read-ing and Mathematics have been consistently trending upward for almost every group of students over the past two decades. But, test scores are only one way to paint the portrait of a teacher. How many teachers bought a kid a coat or gloves last winter? How many teachers quietly slipped a kid some lunch money? How many teachers gave a kid a smile when they des-perately needed it, or encouraged a student during a time of doubt? How many teachers made a kid feel special when no one else would? Time and again the answer is—a teacher! Join us in saying thank you to a teacher.

Mou nt R a i n ier Superintendent Randy King advises that this year’s low snowpack has made early access to some park areas pos-sible.

The White River Road to the White River Campground opened to the public last week. This access is popular with climbers attempting early sea-son summit climbs on the east side. In 2014 this road opened on May 23.

The road between White River and Sunrise remains closed as snow removal opera-tions continue and facilities are de-winterized for opening June 5. Under “normal” snow years the Sunrise Road opens by the July 4 holiday.

For those traveling past Wilkeson and Carbonado, the Mowich Lake Road opening is scheduled for May 22.

The Stevens Canyon Road has been opened to Snow

Lake, from the junction with the Nisqually to Paradise Road. There is no access beyond Snow Lake due to road construction activity (slide damage repair). On the east end of Stevens Canyon, the road is open to the Grove of the Patriarchs. The tar-geted date for full opening is May 22.

Ricksecker Point below Paradise is open.

The Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center, snack bar and gift shop was slated to begin daily opera-tions May 2. The visitor center opens at 10 a.m.

The National Park Inn at Longmire is open daily pro-viding food service, lodging and a gift shop.

Buckley resident Elijah Bickel recently completed a wilderness expedition traveling in Patagonia with the National Outdoor Leadership School. His semester in Patagonia took place over 79 days alongside 15 students and eight instructors.

In the fall of 2014, Bickel and his coursemates began their 30-day sea kayaking section. The course trav-eled 230 miles starting at Puerto Laguna and following a route in the Chonos Archipelago. While follow-

ing the route, Bickel, 21, witnessed salmon farms, dolphin pods and more marine life. Besides learning kayaking skills, the course focused on camp skills and environmental studies including the biology, local culture and history of Patagonia.

Transitioning to the mountain section of the semester, Bickel and his coursemates covered 77 miles and gained more than 26,000 feet of elevation. The students learned the

Many people were moved by the heart-wrenching stories coming from Nepal in the wake of the disas-trous earthquake and subsequent avalance.

One local family felt this connection even more strongly. Enumclaw residents, Helen and Mark Countryman met more than 20 years ago in Nepal. They worked and lived in Nepal for two years as Volunteers for the Peace Corp and the British equiv-alent, VSO. They have maintained connection with many people in that region.

“When we heard about the earthquake we went straight to Facebook to check if our friends had been marked as safe,” Helen Countryman said. “Thankfully all the immediate friends are safe. However the depth of destruction and suffering is heart breaking.

“I spent much of the next few days crying as I looked at coverage posted on line by other returned volunteers from around the world. It is one thing to see the pictures but when you understand what the people are saying when they cry out for help it breaks your heart.”

One story was especially saddening to Mark Countryman and his mother Helma (an artist in Enumclaw). She had visited her son in Nepal and they trekked together to the remote village of Lantang. Now, they have learned that entire village was taken out by a huge avalanche killing more than 350 people.

“It is hard to believe a place we so enjoyed visiting has gone,” she said. “It was such a thriving com-munity.”

The family members decided something local had to be done – something to show action and generate money. A phone call was made to Sue Reiter, which led to a call to Tammi Dunn with the local Rotary Club. Another phone call to Cole Street Brewery provided a venue for a fundraiser, along with an offer of 10 percent of sales to aid the cause.

Quickly, a benefit took shape. It is planned for 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 9, at Cole Street Brewery.

Money will be raised for the Rotary campaign for “shelter boxes.” Rotary has agreed to match the money raised dollar for dollar. There also will be a silent auction of local artists’ work and a dessert auction.

The Countrymans will make the traditional Nepali dish of “Dal Bhat” and serve while supplies last.

Dunn explained that shelter boxes are a long-established Rotary project. Specially prepared boxes are delivered to needy families by volunteers with the key supplies they need to help them survive in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.

Fundraiser set by Enumclaw couple who met in Nepal

hired as the operator for the excavator, told police the excavator at the job site lacked a “thumb,” which meant he couldn’t do his job that day.

Working like a human hand, an excavator thumb would pinch the barrier between the thumb and the excavator bucket. This would allow the excavator to grab a section of the barrier to break it from the bridge deck.

Without the thumb, the excavator couldn’t grip the barrier.

Carlton corroborated Stuhr’s story, saying he know an excavator without a thumb was sent to the site, and expressed confusion as to why the crew continued cutting the barrier “when they knew they didn’t have

the proper excavator to remove the sections.”

Flaggers on-siteAccording to Carla

Vandiver, the traffic control supervisor for the project, she and a co-worker were on Angeline Road when the barrier fell from the over-pass.

Vandiver told police she was waiting for a radio call from foreman Marney indi-icating when they should stop traffic, which would have been when the verti-cal cuts were started on the barrier.

Moving forward on the project

Bonney Lake City Administrator Don Morrison said new demoli-tion plans will have to be submitted to the city before any more demolition work

will continue. The new plan will

come to the city and to the Washington State Department of Transportation for review.

Morrison also said there will be a new site spe-cific safety plan, which was originally drawn up by Highmark Concrete Contractors, although the city officials stated they never saw the first one.

“This Site Specific Safety Plan was not provided to the city,” Bonney Lake City Engineer John Woodcock wrote in an email on April 16 to other city employees. “This would have been an element of the pre-demoli-tion meeting the contractor/subs/state and city would have before we approved the scheduling of the effort.”

Morrison said work on the bridge for the moment will involve finishing lay-ing styrofoam blocks and removing and reinstalling temporary materials that were attached to the bridge and damaged when the bar-rier wall fell.

According to a May 1 press release, Angeline Road will be fully closed under SR 410 if any further work on the bridge is required.

Updates on the SR 410 project and the police investigation will be made known as the next install-ment of police reports are made public.

Blakely ignored him and entered the home anyway.

believes he could see more profit if the space was used for a commercial marijua-na-growing operation. And, Fitzsimmons said, there’s no shortage of growers seeking his space.

“I have been approached probably about 10 times now, for growing medical marijuana in my building,” he told the council.

“I know this is a sensitive subject for everybody, but it’s a legal substance now,” Fitzsimmons said, not-ing that there’s money to be made in the marijuana trade. Aside from filling his own coffers, Fitzsimmons noted that city revenues would be enhanced when perhaps an additional 80 jobs were added.

He assured the council that his building is 100 per-cent secure. There are no windows, he noted, adding that security staff would be on hand 24 hours a day.

In the larger scheme of

things, Fitzsimmons said, marijuana is a growing in-dustry.

“The momentum is there,” he said. “Enumclaw’s not going to stop it. The fed-eral government is looking at legalizing it throughout the country.”

During a private conver-sation with The Courier-Herald, Fitzsimmons said potential marijuana growers are offering lease payments that triple the income he now receives.

As things now stand, Fitzsimmons’ desires can-not be allowed.

Both the city’s Plan-ning Commission and City Council have taken a stance on marijuana production and sales. While such op-erations are acknowledged in the city’s zoning code, they’re not allowed any-where within the city limits.

For Fitzsimmons’ request to become reality, the coun-cil would have to approve a zoning change.

As of late last week, noth-ing had changed on the city’s

marijuana front. Erica Shook, who heads the Department of Community Develop-ment, said she would need some direction from council to begin initiating any change in zoning. Contacted Friday afternoon, Shook had heard nothing.

BuckleyTalk about a parcel of land

being considered for mari-juana production caught the city a bit off guard, Mayor Pat Johnson said.

But the issue is quickly being addressed, she added.

Members of the Buckley City Council met Tuesday night for a regularly-sched-uled workshop and were scheduled to address the growing issue, Johnson said.

The word circulating through town is someone is considering buying a parcel of land on McNeely Street. Part two of the conversation is that the proposed buyer would like to manufacture recreational marijuana on the large lot.

Johnson said such a move

might be legal from the city’s standpoint. About 10 years ago, when the city last re-viewed and adopted its Com-prehensive Plan, land in the area under consideration was OK’d for agricultural pur-poses.

Back then, Johnson said, no one thought about can-nabis as a legal crop. Keeping an agricultural designation, she said, was a way to protect people who might keep a horse on their land, she said.

Also, a decade ago there were few homes in the area, compared with today.

Johnson said if such a move were in the works, it would first go to the state’s Liquor Control Board, mean-ing the city would be kept out of the immediate loop.

Council members have options at their disposal, the mayor said, including pass-ing an emergency morato-rium prohibiting marijuana-growing operations. Such a move would not impact the two retail shops now selling recreational marijuana in the city limits.

MARIJUANA FROM 1

The East Pierce Fire and Rescue Board of Fire Commissioners have narrowed the number of applicants for fire chief to five. Now, they are inviting the citizens who live within the district to provide their input dur-ing a candidate reception from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Monday, May 11, at the fire station in Edgewood.

“The reception will be the pub-lic’s opportunity to meet the candi-dates and get to know a little about them before the formal interview part of the selection process,” said Commissioner Chair Dale Mitchell.

“The citizens who attend will have the option to fill out comment cards with their thoughts which will be provided to the board for consid-eration.”

The five finalists are part of a national search to replace East Pierce Fire Chief Jerry E. Thorson, who plans to retire in June after more than 40 years in the fire service. Mitchell said that the inclusive process of selecting a new chief provides an opportunity for input from both the community and fire district personnel. “It’s important that the community and department

members support the process and are comfortable that the district hires the best candidate,” he said.

The following day, the applicants will undergo a rigorous interview process that includes city elected and appointed officials from each of the cities within the East Pierce jurisdic-tion, including Bonney Lake, Sumner, Lake Tapps, Edgewood and Milton. Once the interviews are completed, the board will extend a job offer to the best candidate for the position.

A public announcement could come as early as May 12.

A new National Park Service report shows that nearly 1.3 million recreation visitors to Mount Rainier National Park during 2014 spent $45.5 million in communities sur-rounding the park and a net impact to the economy of approximately $57.7 million. This spending supported approximately 595 jobs in the local area, not including the 100 to 105 permanent and 175 to 185 seasonal staff working directly for the park and another 450 to 500 commercial concessions service employees working

in or near the park. Due to warmer and drier-than-normal weather in the first quarter of 2015, visitation to the park is already 50 percent greater than the same period in 2014.

According to the 2014 report, most park visitor spending across the NPS was for lodging (31 percent) followed by food and beverages (20 percent), gas and oil (12 percent), admissions and fees (10 per-cent) and souvenirs and other expenses (10 percent).

Note: the following is from the National Park Service website: for information about specific hiking trails, visit www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/day-hiking-at-mount-rainier.htm

Mount Rainier National Park offers over 260 miles of maintained trails for the public’s enjoyment. Trails lead through the peacefulness of the old-growth forest of the river valleys and the high subalpine meadows on the flanks of Mount Rainier. From the trails, guests can explore and experience the forests, lakes and streams and view the fields of wildflowers and network of glaciers.

Pets and bicycles are not permitted on any park trails.

The park recommends that day hik-ers limit their party size to no more than 12 people per group. Day hikers are also encouraged to stay on desig-nated trails throughout the park, and are required to do so in the heavily used Paradise, Sunrise and Tipsoo Lake meadows. Visitors should choose a spot for a lunch stop carefully: avoid frag-ile f lower fields and stream and lake banks.

Day hikers are advised to keep hiking plans flexible because some trailhead parking lots may be full. Overflow park-ing is not permitted in order to avoid impeding traffic and to provide a less crowded, higher quality experience for hikers. Alternative trailheads may have space available.

For more information on day hik-ing, see Trails and Backcountry Camp Conditions. For descriptions of longer day hikes, overnight or multi-day hikes, visit the Trails page.

For the first time since 2007, when Puget Sound Energy still operated Lake Tapps, the reservoir will most likely not be filled to recreational levels by Memorial Day. As the owner and operator of the reservoir since 2009, we value our relationship with the community and we take our agreements with you seriously. However, this is an extraordinary year, and we appreciate your patience.

Cascade purchased the century-old, 12-mile long White River /Lake Tapps Reservoir project that takes water from the White River brings it into the reservoir and back out to the White River. Many parts were failing. The following facts provide you with an update about the system, its fixes and its future.

FACT: For the next 30 to 40 years, Cascade will be operating this system to provide recreational reservoir levels solely for your benefit while meeting regulatory and operational requirements.

FACT: The system included a failing timber flume and headgates. The facilities that release water from the lake needed to be assessed and repaired. A dike required a seismic retrofit. The Washington State Dam Safety Office requires that Cascade be able to take a certain flow rate from the reservoir and we could not assure that we could do that to protect homeowners in case of earthquake or emergencies.

FACT: If Cascade had not planned for and undertaken these projects, and if the headgates or timber flume had failed, Cascade would not have been able to divert water into the reservoir for a minimum of 18 months, resulting in the likely loss of two complete recreational seasons. This is a once in a 30 to 40 year repair project.

FACT: The design, planning and bidding for the 16 project $15 million upgrade began in December 2013 and was successfully completed March 16, 2015 ensuring long-term viability of the reservoir.

FACT: There has been historically low precipitation, which is required to fill the reservoir. The situation is so severe that the Governor has declared a drought emergency in many areas of the state, including east Pierce County.

the Lake Tapps CommunityFACT: Since April 1, the available flows in the White River have dropped far below even the lowest historically recorded levels. Average historic flows have been above 1,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) above Mud Mountain Dam. This year the White River flows are at 700-750 cfs, the lowest flows in 22 years of record keeping.

FACT: Cascade is legally permitted to only take water from the White River, the source of Lake Tapps, when flows exceed the minimum flow required in Cascade’s state issued water rights. This year’s historic low flows limit the amount Cascade can divert into the reservoir. Our new flume can take up to 150% of what is allowed. At present, there is no excess water to divert.

FACT: Projections that the reservoir would be filled by Memorial Day were based on assumptions of less than average flow conditions, but nowhere near the extreme conditions now being experienced. In a normal year, the reservoir would have been filled by May 1.

FACT: We have our crews available 24 hours a day to divert as much available water into the reservoir as fast as possible. A typical day includes four to six diversion adjustments, many taking place between 9 pm and 4 am. Unfortunately, the weather is not cooperating.

FACT: Such potential occurrences were even considered and included in the Cascade’s 2009 agreement with the Lake Tapps Community, which states “. . . operational variances may be required due to forecasts or available precipitation, under the terms and conditions of the Water Rights.”

FACT: Cascade is in constant discussions with regulatory and other partners to determine if there is any other option available for filling the lake. This includes working to restock the lake with fish once the reservoir is full. The drought has affected everyone.

FACT: Cascade will continue working hard, and do everything we can to refill Lake Tapps.

We value the friendships and relationships we have built with the Lake Tapps community over the years and ask for your continued patience and support.

Members of Enumclaw’s Masonic Lodge annually spon-sor a Junior Achievement program, honoring a handful of Enumclaw High School students.

This year’s dinner and awards program was hosted April 16 and saw 10 EHS juniors receiving cash prizes in recog-nition of their school achievements.

Taking the top prize of $1,000 each were Samantha Engebretsen and Bryce Johnson. Honored as runners-up and receiving $500 each were Grace Sales and Bill Miller. Finalists, who received $150 each, were Dylan Miller, Sam Nielsen, Luke Williams, Kysa Bursch, Kylie Rademacher and Barbie Becker.

Honored as Junior Achievement winners were: in front, from left, Kysa Bursch, Grace Sales, Samantha Engebretsen, Kylie Rademacher and Barbie Becker; in back are Bryce Johnson, Sam Nielsen, Bill Miller, Dylan Miller and Luke Williams.

Junior Achievement awards given to 10 at Enumclaw High

The Courier-Herald would like to clarify ques-tions arising from the April 29 edition story, “Lake Tapps refill is only a drip, drip, drip.”

The statement in the article concerning how long it would take to refill

the lake at the current rate has caused some confusion. The article did not pre-dict when the lake will be refilled. It is unknown how long it will take to refill the lake because of the lack of rainfall in the area.

is required to maintain minimum instream flow in the White River. Any extra water above the mini-mum instream flow will be diverted to refill Lake Tapps.

A release on Cascade Water Alliance’s website stated, “Although Cascade is putting every available drop of water into the res-ervoir – currently about 50 million gallons per day –

the reservoir will not be filled by Memorial Day due to lack of precipitation.

“Cascade understands and shares the community’s disappointment. Cascade is committed to working with

the community and to keep-ing residents up to date at each step of the way,” says Chuck Clarke, Cascade CEO.

“For current refill status visit http://cascadewater.org/project-overview.php

and for lake levels visit http://cascadewater.org/la ke_tapps _recreat ion-al_lake_levels.php For updates check Cascade’s Facebook page or follow us on Twitter.”

SUMNER SCHOOL DISTRICTVISIT US ONLINE: SUMNERSD.ORG

Our district has a story to tell. In fact, we have lots of stories. But this particular one concerns sus-taining quality learning environ-ments for kids that support our growing district, both now and in the future.

Our Facilities Planning Commit-tee has done important work over

these last few months, examining current facility use and discussing future district facility needs. This committee pro-vides recommendations about future facility needs that will assist the Superintendent and School Board in capital and facilities planning.

A list of projects have been identi� ed to potentially go on a future bond that would address capital needs of our district over the next 15 to 20 years. Projects were prioritized to focus on two things.

(1) Capacity. District-wide, our enrollment has grown by over 600 students since our last bond in 2007. Our cur-rent demographers report shows that enrollment will rise to approximately 10,700 students over the next 10 years, an increase of approximately 1900 students from today. Currently, almost half of our elementary schools are over capacity due to growth.

(2) Quality of Student Learning Environment. We have facili-ties that are in desperate need of renovation. In addition, we have the opportunity to grow and expand on some of our core learning curriculums that are currently limited by our current facilities.

In addition to new facilities, state matching funds are avail-able for Emerald Hills, Mountain View and Sumner High. All of this adds up to the need to present an important bond to our voters in the near future.

Our community support is real. Our M&O and Tech Levy passed last year by almost 65% approval. The last time we went out for a bond was in May of 2007 and that passed at 60.66%. As most of you know, a Levy needs 50% voter approval while a Bond needs a 60% super majority to pass. Community support is essential to our districts growth plans.

Strong communities equal strong schools and knowing our story is an essential component of that. Thanks for listening.

Sincerely, Dr. Sara Johnson

CONGRATULATIONS CRESTWOOD ANDLIBERTY RIDGE ELEMENTARY

Crestwood and Liberty Ridge Elementary have been recognized as top-performing schools and awarded the Washington Achievement Award for 2014.

The annual award recognizes Washington State’s top-performing schools and their impact on student learning. Awards fall into two categories; Overall Excellence is awarded to the top � ve percent of all Washington elementary, middle, high, and comprehensive schools, and Special Recognition Awards. Special Recognition Awards are awarded to high-performing schools based on

high progress, reading growth, math growth, extended graduation rate, and English language acquisition. Award winning schools are selected based on statewide assessment data for three previous years.

Liberty Ridge Elementary earned the award for Overall Excellence and special recognition in reading and math growth. Overall excellence is earned by schools in the top 5% of the Composite Achievement Index rating.

Crestwood Elementary earned the award for special recognition in math growth. Crestwood is recognized as being in the top 5% of the 3-year average Median Student Growth Percentiles (MSGPs) for Math.

Superintendent Dr. Sara Johnson commented, “The academic achievement awards are recognition of the hard work principals, teachers, staff, student and parents do at the school. We are extremely proud to have two of our outstanding schools recognized. The award highlights the impact schools can have on the success of students.”

The Of� ce of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education sponsor these awards, now in their � fth year. Award winners are selected using statewide assessment data for the three previous years. The data is analyzed using the Accountability Index and criteria from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Flexibility Waiver.
