By Kevin HansonEditor

The possibility of a spring levy request that would have increased tax rates for those served by the local fire department has been scrapped.

All those inside the boundar-ies of Fire District 28 – and that includes the city of Enumclaw – currently contribute $1.09 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. It was widely believed the district would push for a levy lid lift that would have bumped the rate to the legal maximum of $1.50.

Currently, the owner of property

valued at $250,000 pays $272.50 annually for fire protection and emergency medical service. If the levy had been placed on the bal-lot and passed, the yearly tax bill would have increased to $375.

In a prepared statement issued last week, Fire Chief Joe Clow said he and the three-member board of commissioners decided this is the wrong time to ask taxpayers for more. Among the reasons for the change of heart, Clow cited ongoing discussions with district residents, a recent news report on home foreclosures and a face-to-face meeting with County Assessor Lloyd Hara that included “the near-

term future of economic conditions in our community.”

During a pair of public sessions this month, Clow and the commis-sioners heard impassioned pleas from a small-but-vocal group that spending plans be reigned in.

Clow wrote that much has been accomplished in the past few years with regard to firefighting and medi-cal service and, with that in mind, the board believes “now is a good time to slow the process and to evalu-ate how effective these changes are instead of continuing on to the next phase of this development.”

The next phase would apparently require a tax hike.

Clow said the district will focus on short-term goals rather than issues five to eight years in the future.

“That large capital expenditures will not take place as planned in the next few years and that staffing plans will be on hold for that same period of time,” he said. “The most immediate needs of the depart-ment will still be addressed; for example, replacement of equip-ment and tools that are required to be replaced regularly.”

Clow noted that members of the department live and pay taxes in the district “and we understand the difficulty of these uncertain finan-cial times.”

Plans for fire levy are put on hold


It didn’t come easy or without debate, but members of the Enumclaw City Council voted Feb. 13 to set the wheels in motion for a spring vote asking if citizens wish to annex into the King County Library System.

The issue is nothing new in the city, having come up a year ago. Plans then were derailed when sufficient infor-mation wasn’t available in time to meet election scheduling deadlines.

The library has become a divisive issue as the council, during recent years, has pushed the library further and further down on the list of municipal priorities. Hours and staff were cut and finally, for 2012, the library was removed from the city’s general fund budget. It is being funded on a one-time basis from a pot of money generated by the sale and lease of city property.

Councilman Jim Hogan related how dire the library’s future is, if it is to be retained by the city.

Without a vote for annexation, he said, “we probably won’t have a library next year.”

There are just two cities in the county that are not gov-erned by the King County Library System. Enumclaw and the city of Seattle are the lone holdouts.

With more than 14,000 emergency room visits, 1,658 surgeries performed and 276 babies born, everyone at St. Elizabeth Hospital seems to have charged through the first year in fine form.

200 TOURING

The city of Enumclaw seeks artists for its Enumclaw Artists’ Studio Tour planned for May 12 and 13 – Mother’s Day weekend.

Local artists who would like to participate in the event are invited to submit a request for an application to [email protected].

Selected artists will open their studios to the public for sales, conversation and an occasional snack beginning at 10 a.m. The Arts Alive! Gallery will also be participating with hands-on artists demonstrating their skills through-out the day. The Enumclaw High School Hot Shop will also be open with student work for sale.

Studio Tour artists must be available throughout both days to show and talk about their current artwork, process and where they get ideas.

Interested local artists will be expected to display at least 10 current works of art that are for sale; be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days; be available for conversations with visitors; submit one digital image of work to [email protected] (the artwork will be included in advertising materials); post provided signs to help advertise their studio locations and take care of their own sales and tax collection and reporting.

Program signs will be available from the Arts Alive!

Gallery by May 4.Visitors will begin their free tour by stopping in at the

Arts Alive! Gallery to pick up a map of participating art-ists’ studios. A number of local artists will be creating art-work in the gallery. All participating artists will be ready for questions and will also have a good supply of artwork for sale.

Local artists interested in taking part in this program can address questions to Gary LaTurner at 360-802-0239, or by e-mail at [email protected].

Sponsors for the event include the city of Enumclaw, 4Culture and Arts Alive!

The political season con-tinues to gain steam and, locally, that means it’s time for precinct caucuses.

The caucus system is a grassroots effort to rally supporters to the Republican or Democratic cause and lay the founda-tion for the stretch run to the fall elections.

Within the boundar-ies of the 31st Legislative District – which takes in all of the Plateau and stretch-es downhill to Sumner – Republicans will be meet-ing March 3 at two loca-tions. Those living in King County precincts will gather at Auburn High School and those on the Pierce County side will meet at North Tapps Middle School.

Doors will open at 9 a.m. so attendees can get reg-istered, offering a drivers license and voters card as proof of residence. Things get rolling at 10 a.m. and, during the day, there will be discussions surrounding key Republican issues, an opportunity to hear from

Republican candidates and the selection of delegates to the March 17 legislative caucuses. There also will be a non-binding straw poll, where attendees will offer their personal choice to be the Republican candidate for president.

Democrats will wait a bit longer to get down to busi-ness. Precinct caucuses are planned for the afternoon of April 15 and will allow attendees to elect delegates and alternates to the April 28 legislative district cau-cuses and help shape the party platform. As a for-mality, the process also serves to choose the party’s presidential nominee.

The city council approved three items regarding the library’s future, dependent upon voter approval during an April 17 election.

First was a transfer agree-ment giving the KCLS own-ership of the library build-ing, adjacent parking lots and grounds. The transfer does not include the grassy area north of the library, which includes the com-munity garden, or the area fronting Griffin Avenue that is home to the Loggers Legacy memorial. The parking lots retain their traditional usage, so there will be no change for the public. If the library system stops using the building as a library during the 50-year duration of the agreement, the building reverts to city ownership.

A key issue, City Admin-istrator Mike Thomas said, is the KCLS would assume responsibility for all main-tenance and repairs to the library building.

A second item was pas-sage of an ordinance requesting annexation into the library system. It was noted the library system, which is independent of King County government, has already indicated it would welcome Enumclaw

with open arms.A final item to receive

council approval was a resolution instructing the King County Council to put the annexation issue on the April ballot.

Money is the driving force behind the push for annexation and Monday night’s debate included a desire to assure Enumclaw voters know the fiscal impact of a “yes” vote on annexation.

Councilman Chance LaFleur noted that the pro-posed ballot title makes no mention of the new tax that would accompany annexa-tion. City Administrator Mike Thomas said the financial issue would best be left to the education pro-cess leading up to the vote.

Members of the King County Library System pay taxes at a rate of 50 cents per $1,000 of prop-erty value. The owner of

an Enumclaw home valued at $200,000 would have an additional $100 added to the yearly tax bill. Those outside the Enumclaw city limits historically have paid the tax.

Also during their Feb. 13 meeting, council members were updated on the magni-tude of January’s snow and ice and, specifically, how it impacted city employees.

Fire Chief Joe Clow said his department received 120 calls for service during a 20-hour stretch that cov-ered Jan. 19 and 20.

“Basically, it was like a bomb went off,” he said, noting that most of the calls concerned snapped limbs and dropping wires.

On a more serious note, Clow said firefighters responded to two house fires that were attributed to electrical power surges.

Public Works Director Chris Searcy said the snow

lasted long enough for crews to get to even the lowest-priority routes.

The following ice storm brought down so many limbs the city opened a drop-off site at the Expo Center. That decision, Searcy said, was popular with local residents who delivered 1,153 truck loads of woody debris, along with 419 trailers containing limbs. The city also picked up storm debris at curbside and hauled 108 loads to the Expo Center site. Forty-five loads were turned away, Searcy said, because the people were not local.

Police Chief Jim Zoll noted that his troops were hopping as well.

On Jan. 19 a year ago, Zoll said, the public made 11 calls to 911; this year, on the same date, there were 81 calls. For Jan. 20, there were 12 calls a year ago and 45 this time around.

initial 12 months in a new hospital brought some antic-ipated glitches but, all things considered, St. Elizabeth met all expectations.

It was February 2011 when doctors and patients, nurses and others made the short trek across Battersby Avenue, leaving Enumclaw Regional Hospital behind and entering the era of St. Elizabeth.

During the 12 months that followed, the 281 employees were responsible for 17,563 outpatient visits and 1,528 patients who were not only admit-ted, but wound up spending a night or more. There were 22 cases where helicopter transportation was necessary.

Popp, a longtime fixture as the head administra-tor at the old hospital and now at St. Elizabeth, said there was a concern about retaining the small-town culture when moving into larger, state-of-the-art digs. That was pulled off without a hitch, Popp said.

“It was a unique opportunity for a smaller hospital,” he said. “I’m very proud that we were able to do it.”

Popp said a few tweaks were needed after move-in day. For example, large widows in hallways were partially masked to promote patient privacy. But problems have been few and far between, he added.

A bigger issue followed the move, when long-time employees were witness to the demolition of Enumclaw Regional just a short distance away.

“It was tough on a lot of people, it really was,” Popp said. “But time heals a little bit of that.”

He points with pride to the growing list of profes-sional peers from throughout the Pacific Northwest who have strolled St. Elizabeth’s halls, gathering nug-gets of wisdom as they contemplate new hospitals of their own.

“We’ve been tickled pink to show them around this building,” Popp said.

Ex� rience the Joy!

I wish that when we received Christ as our personal savior we imme-diately took on his char-acter and characteristics. Unfortunately, that’s not the way it works. Instead, we give our heart to the Christ and instantly we receive forgiveness of our sins but our nature doesn’t change. We then get to work on sur-rendering our sin nature for

the rest of our lives. I’m not complaining, it’s

a fabulous trade-off. I just

wish it were easier to let go of that nasty sin nature. I’m thankful for the Bible because it helps me as I wrestle against my sinful desires to know what pleas-es God and what causes him to cringe, so to speak.

As I look at how the church is perceived by peo-ple inside and outside the church, I often have great concern that our actions don’t match our message.

It also concerns me when we cover our sin-ful actions with reli-gious rhetoric. One of the areas of concern I have is in the way we speak to and about oth-ers – both in speaking assumed truths as well as spreading flat out rumors about another person.

Often, we use “Christianese” to cover our

spreading of rumors by asking for prayer for some-one and their situation or by feeling righteous about spreading the sin of anoth-er as if we are doing God a favor.

While studying for a Sunday message, I was reminded of some great verses. James 1:26, “If any-one among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.” The Bible goes on to say in James 3:2 “For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.”

These two verses point out the struggle humanity has with controlling what we say. We see in James 1:26 that it is important to con-

trol our tongues because it can deceive our hearts and then our religion becomes useless. How true is that, how quickly can we destroy our reputation and more importantly God’s reputa-tion by what comes out of our mouth. In James 3:2 the writer makes the statement that if you can control your tongue and what you say then you are a perfect man. This needs to be a warning to all of us as we live out our lives that we need to pay special attention to what comes out of our mouths.

The old saying, “Sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me,” isn’t true. We see in today’s world of nonstop media that words have a drastic effect on people. In schools they are attempting to deal with this by crack-

ing down on bullying, both physical and cyber (using social media to taunt and harass classmates). They also have brought in Rachel’s Challenge to help encourage the young peo-ple of our community to speak and treat each other with kindness. I think we all know that this is more than just a youth prob-lem.

The book of James chap-ter 3 goes on to say that both blessings and cursing come out of the same mouth and that it should not be so. Church, my prayer for us is that we are a blessing to this community by the words that come from our mouth and not a curse. I would ask that you take some time to think about the words you say and the effect they have on others and on our savior.

Let our words be a blessing to community

Sunday evening, Hol-lywood once again salutes the movie industry and its accomplishments. Though the event isn’t quite as pop-ular as it was a few years ago, we can safely predict it will still attract one of

the largest audiences and highest Neilson ratings of 2012. Movie celebrities like Angelina Jolie and George Clooney seem to gener-ate more public excite-ment than sport heroes or even our president. Movie

luminaries are as close as America comes to royalty.

This is an interesting phenomenon. At least I hope you find it so because it’s the subject of this col-umn.

Generally speaking, Hol-

lywood stars are cre-ated by producers and other financial inves-tors simply because they want to make money on their films. A shower of publicity creates celebs that people want to see. The main reason stars appear with Lettermen and Ellen is to promote their movies and some are only famous as long as their current film is playing the multiplex theaters.

Stars aren’t necessarily good actors. Some simply have a personality the pub-lic finds appealing. John Wayne is a perfect case in point. He was just John Wayne and he didn’t have to act. He offered the same personality in every one of

the 150 films he made. He simply changed his clothes for different roles; in some cases he didn’t even do that since he wore the same cowboy hat in nearly 40 movies.

On the other hand, some stars are extremely tal-ented. Meryl Streep comes immediately to mind. She is so strikingly different from one role to another, you have to wonder if it’s

the same woman. Tom Hanks and Dustin Hoffman have this same uncanny ability.

And finally, some stars don’t have either acting talent nor attrac-tive personalities and you have to ask what they’re doing up there on

the screen. I’ve always felt that way about Humphrey Bogart, even though he was a superstar who appeared in some pretty good mov-ies, like “Casablanca.”

Despite all the fame surrounding Hollywood celebs, or perhaps because of it, many stars lead terri-bly screwed-up lives. Some are egotistical and unstable as hell. They take advantage of every opportunity to pro-mote their careers, no mat-ter how weird or twisted the request might be, and they sacrifice everything for the sake of fame. Many of them are addicted to an entire pharmacopoeia of drugs and can’t possibly relax or sleep without injecting the proper mix of 14 different chemicals. If examples are necessary, consider major stars like Marilyn Monroe


When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

Having More Retirement Accounts Is Not The Same As Having More Money.

Same-sex debate will bury important issues

Please indulge me as I try to address several closely related items of local, state and ational interest as briefly and simply as possible.

Strategically and tactically speaking, I find it pathetic and nauseating to watch much of the conservative-leaning elec-torate knocked to its knees by an indis-putably brilliant, election year “sucker punch” delivered by Olympia politicians in the form of the same sex marriage bill.

As a minor elected but unpaid party official acquainted with the current cam-paign organization officials, I can sur-mise with great certitude that a significant portion of the conservative leadership at the district chair and precinct commit-tee levels as well as base affiliates will expend their political energy gathering signatures for a referendum to repeal the aforementioned legislation, neglecting needed focus on state and national party platform positions regarding legitimate political issues too numerous to mention. Candidates will spend each campaign speech or appearance addressing impas-sioned inquiries regarding their position on same sex marriage.

Given current organizational inepti-tude, a few ideologically unreliable mod-erates on a par with our 8th District Congressman (whom I wrote about in previous election cycles) may succeed in being elected, but will prove to be reluctant, unwilling or unable to hold or advance the conservative line against the liberal approach in future legislative sessions.

Secondly, the actual election of a presi-

dent will be done somewhere east of the Mississippi River, however, Washington state has 43 of the 1,100 odd convention delegates needed to nominate a candidate. Our primary election was eliminated thanks in part to a vote by our first term state representative and we have to rely on a caucus this year. The chairperson charged with arranging caucus locations failed to get off a portly but still pretty pos-terior to arrange a meeting place for the 13 or so precincts in the Enumclaw-Black Diamond area. There is one location for the 31st District caucus at Auburn High school on Saturday, March 3, at 9 a.m. It’s terribly inconvenient but extremely important. Please urge your readers of right-leaning persuasion to make every effort to show up on a Saturday morning and cast a vote for anyone but Romney. I won’t presume to tell anyone who to vote for, but in my humble opinion Mr. Romney is no improvement to the presi-dential office, and at the very least the nether regions of the American Empire deserve a dogfight on the convention floor.

Finally, the term Pyrrhic victory refers to Pyrrhus, a third century B.C. gen-eral who defeated Roman legions twice. Unable to obtain enough replacements to sustain his losses, he said words to the effect of “one more such victory and we lose.” Similarly, a Cadmean victory refers to Cadmus, a mythological Greek who lost an army save five men fighting a serpent, a victory equally devastating to both sides.

The putrid prospect of an Obama- Romney contest and impressions of some state Republicans bring such vic-tories to mind.

Enough said. I hope to see y’all at the caucus.

Edward NeilEnumclaw

Impressed with district fire chief, commissioners

Normally I do not get involved with local politics, but the numerous articles, letters and comments appearing in The Courier-Herald led me to wonder what was going on with our fire district. So it was that I attended the first public meeting recently held at the fire station. I was very impressed with the fire chief and the two commissioners that were in attendance. They are obviously com-mitted to improving the service levels in the fire district and correcting existing deficiencies. However, it is also evident that they intend to do so in a measured and responsible manner. They do not appear to be a bunch of tax-and-spend, out-of-control managers, as I was led to believe by the public comments I have read.

I was surprised to find that the entire meeting was dominated by two dis-gruntled local residents both of whom had an agenda. It became very apparent that they objected to any expenditure of any kind, and any expenditure for service outside of the city limits was met with hostility.

The cost of upgrading the Cumberland station is a prime example. Response time to the Cumberland area is just too high. From Enumclaw, response times can be 20 minutes or more. This led the fire district to increase staffing at the Cumberland station and to make the necessary facility improvements to accommodate the increased personnel. Yet this expense was strongly objected to. The perceived problem it seems is the fact that the fire station is now one of the more expensive properties in the

Buckley is a sleepy hamlet of approximately 5,000 citizens, of which I am one.

It straddles state Route 410 and one rarely has to worry about police intervention unless you’re speeding past the cemetery in the wee hours of the morning or, even worse, driving while impaired.

With a smidgeon of help from his DOT technologi-cal marvel, Officer Goss, one of Buckley’s finest, has an award-winning handle on nailing hammered driv-

ers. To be candid, it is amazing to me how many peo-ple are out there driving without a license or driving while their license is suspended, who also happen to be sloshed out of their

gourd or high as a kite.I’ll hop down off my soapbox now.At any rate, the most enthralling event that tran-

spires every year in this lazy little whistle stop is the Buckley Log Show, always on the last weekend of June and thanks to the fine folks putting on the show, always admission-free.

Every once in a great while, though, something unex-pected happens.

Such an occurrence went down just the other eve-ning at the Union 76 gas station. Maybe what people say about nothing worthwhile happening after midnight is true.

Approximately five minutes after the clock struck the bewitching hour Feb. 10, a moonstruck fool wearing a gray, hooded sweatshirt and a red bandana around his face, sashayed into the convenience store. Brandishing a sawed-off shotgun, he waved the weapon in the gen-eral direction of the female clerk’s face and growled, “Give me a six-pack of Coors light and a carton of Camel straights and nobody gets hurt.”

I guess it didn’t dawn on the convict want-to-be, that

Letters

In the early 1900s, the Habenicht Hotel was located behind the railroad depot in Black Diamond. The hotel was owned by Henry and Lena Habenicht who were among the earliest immigrants to Black Diamond, arriving from Nortonville, Calif., in 1887. Henry Habenicht was born in Germany in 1833 while Lena was born there around 1837. Henry immigrated to the U.S. in 1848 at age 15 and eventually found work as a coal miner with the Black Diamond Coal Mining Co., of California. When the company moved operations north to Black Diamond, Wash., in the 1880s, Henry and Lena moved as well. There were a number of hotels and boarding houses in early Black Diamond, usually operated by local residents. This photo comes courtesy of the late Vernon Habenicht and originally appeared in the Black Diamond Historical Society’s 1981 calendar. The extended Habenicht family members are longtime residents of the Ravensdale-Maple Valley area.

Cumberland area. That may be true. So what? Are we to believe that the cost of a fire station should not exceed the average value of the proper-ties it is built to protect? Are the lives and safety of the residents in the Cumberland area to be measured by the value of the property they own?

It was argued during the meeting that there has been no

local population growth. So, there should be no spending increases either. That would be true if the district was providing adequate service for the entire district and if no major assets needed to be replaced. However, neither condition is completely true.

In 2008 an independent review was made of the local fire service. The resulting report is referred to as the Fire Protection Master Plan. This report clearly shows that while service in the city

itself is very good, the service to the unincorporated areas of the fire district is below standard.

It was interesting to learn that just a little under half of our population lives outside of the city limits. They all pay taxes to the fire district and deserve the same level of service as the people liv-ing in town. Historically this has not been a prior-ity. The Master Plan under-scores this long-standing issue. The fire chief and the commissioners seem com-mitted to correcting the problem.

The report also showed that a surprising number of fire vehicles are scheduled for replacement. The report showed that seven of the 15 pieces of equipment listed should be replaced prior to 2014.

Clearly, additional expenses are going to be incurred by the district, not because of growth, but to

correct known problems and to handle normal wear and tear.

While everyone present claimed to love firefighters I seriously doubt that any firefighter was feeling the love. Negative comments were made about the cost of full-time firefighters. Apparently the compensa-tion was thought to be too high for people that may not have college degrees. It seems that years of special-ized training and the high level of responsibility the job requires was not recog-nized as valuable. There are many professions that do not require college, but do nevertheless require a high level of training and are compensated accordingly. I submit that firefighting is one such profession and I found disparaging side comments to the contrary to be inappropriate and objectionable.

Complaints against the fire district’s plans took on an unfortunately personal nature. Some would have us believe that there is a con-spiracy of fire professionals organized just to increase costs. Personally, I found it reassuring to know that the commissioners have notable experience in the field and can serve as a realistic check and aid for the fire chief.

In closing I found that

the plans being made by the fire district are reasonable. The explanations provided for the expense levels make sense when listened to objectively and when con-sidering the needs of the entire district and not just city residents.

Edward DavisEnumclaw

Support for local firefighters, but not spending

First off I would like to say I believe we have very good firemen working for District 28. Firemen as a whole are just plain great people and do great work.

I became concerned with the executive management of our fire district as soon as the new district started their promotion for a new fire station and the hir-ing of 60 percent more staff, all at a time when 90 percent of us are work-ing extremely hard to stay solvent. Many people are losing their jobs, houses and businesses and the population in the district is almost stagnant. I doubt the next 10 years will bring much new housing to our area due to the few jobs out here, building restric-tion imposed by Growth Management (Agenda 21) and the cost of fuel.

What information are the fire commissioners and the new fire chief using to justify a new building? The new chief said he was hired to implement the Master Plan. The $50,000, 295-page Master Plan, paid for by the taxpayers, says abso-lutely nothing about need-ing a new fire station. The district’s main fire station looks to be in perfect shape inside and out. The firemen

keep it in pristine condi-tion. It has a new $160,000 roof and recently got a very expensive seismic retrofit. The offices are condensed but I’ve seen a lot of offices way worse. We were told there were not enough beds, but the math and the fire-men say there are plenty.

For a year and a half there was no fire chief in Enumclaw and things seemed to run quite smoothly. The city hires a new chief for $140,000 a year and a year later – under the new fire district management – the fire chief received a $40,000 raise (to $180,000 in 2011) during the worst economic times in 50 years. (For the record, our police chief is paid about $80,000 a year). And land that the county assessed at under $60,000 was purchased by the fire district for $495,000 to build a new fire station – five to 10 years from now? Have land prices stopped falling yet? The commis-sioners and the chief are going to ask the public for a substantial raise in taxes just to sustain the growth of the department since the new chief arrived. This proposed tax hike will not include any money for a new building. Additional money will be asked for at a later date. The chief at one of the open house meetings said, “I would raise the fee to $4 (per thousand) if I could.” The fire district taxes have gone up 23 percent already and with what the commissioners and chief want, it will mean a 70 percent increase in a four-year period of time. This one taxing authority will add $1,000 to my already high tax burden. The fire commissioners, all three being union firefighters, are insulated from the realities of this terrible economy. From the tax-payer’s point of view, it looks like once the fire commissioners were free of the city of Enumclaw’s pesky tight budget, they decided to take and spend a great deal more of the taxpayers’ money because who’s to stop them?

During a time in history where the district’s popu-lation is stagnant, the pri-vate sector is earning 6 percent less than the year before, the city workers took a pay cut and the aver-age pay for our firemen is right about $100,000 a year, all we’re asking is to go easy on us taxpayers. We love you guys, but we’re fighting for our life to stay afloat out here.

One of the main reasons people are drawn to cats as pets is the feline’s self-sufficiency. In many respects, cats can take care of themselves and be very content with minimal pampering from their owners.

Many cats do not require bathing as a dog would. They are very capable of grooming themselves and keeping clean. In the rare instance a cat gets very dirty or gets a substance stuck in its fur that it can-not remove, then the cat might need a bath.

Few have escaped the dramatic stories of attempt-ing to bathe a cat, where the cat usually gets away after scratching or biting the person trying to do the bathing. Many cats are skittish around water, so anything like a bath is foreign to them.

But there are ways to minimize the stress of bath-ing a cat – both to the animal and the person doing the bathing. Here are a few pointers.

• Brush the cat’s fur before bathing to remove any tangles or matting.

• Place something that the cat can grip with its claws into the bottom of the bath or sink. An old piece of window screen or something similar could provide traction.

• Fill the sink or tub up with warm water before handling the cat to minimize skittishness.

• Place cotton in the cat’s ears to prevent bath water from entering.

• Slowly lower the cat into the water and watch for his or her response. Soothing words and some petting could calm nerves.

Is a clean cat worth the effort?

Most cats survive just fine with minimal care, but some get into messes that might require a bath.

Welcome back to Buckley Veterinary Hospital’s monthly pet care column. This month, we are highlighting your furry family member’s potential risk to ingest-ible hazards. Known and unknown toxins can be found hiding in our hous-es, yards and neighbor-hoods.

We have combined tips from several animal health organizations to shed some light on latent and perhaps more obvi-ous hazards that your pets may encounter.

If your pet does encoun-ter and ingest a toxin, we also want to deliver the

resources to prevent ill-ness, helping to provide a healthier and happier life for your best friend.

In 2011, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Animal Poison Control Center in Urbana, Ill., fielded more than 165,900 phone calls about pets exposed to poisonous substances. Below is their list categorizing the top 10 toxin types from those inquiries.

Prescription Human Medications

Almost 25,000 calls last year were about human prescription medications. Pets, especially dogs, are notorious for ingesting any dropped pill. Cardiac and ADHD medications make up a large percent-age of these calls. Always make sure to keep these medications in a safe place away from your pets.

and Heath Ledger.We might think stars

have an enormous amount of money and are powerful players in the Hollywood hierarchy. Though this may be true with certain super-stars, apparently it isn’t true in general. Indeed, in many cases stars are simply given a studio credit card they can use to get most any-thing they want – but they never have much money, which means they’re com-pletely at the mercy of their agents and producers. For instance, this was alleged-ly true of John Belushi. In situations like these, when producers pull the credit card, fame can vanish as quickly as it arrived and stars will suddenly find themselves broke and back on the street again, so they quickly learn to do what they’re told.

Alas, some aspects of fame can be a real pain in the butt.

since he was risking being charged with armed robbery he may as well have had the attendant fill a bag with every cent in the cash register.

According to the police report, the unnecessarily opinionated lady cashier told the man he was making a huge mistake.

Thank the Lord, the guy didn’t have an easily-activated psychotic temper or that young lady would have been a goner.

Your life is not worth being a hero – or a dime-store shrink for that matter.

After the lady lipped off to him, the man with a gun coolly repeated his request.

Buckley police Sgt. Tim Personius, who is assisting with the investigation of the case and has been a cop for more than a quarter of a century in Buckley, pointed

out the city has had one bank robbery (in 1925) and one homicide (2007). The recent incident, he added, marks about five times in Buckley’s long history there has been an armed robbery.

How unusual, the sergeant pondered, that the thief didn’t ask for cash….just smokes and beer.

Unfortunately, Personius said, the BPD doesn’t have much to go on because there were no witnesses and the suspect parked

out of clear visual range of security cam-eras.

To her credit, the plucky clerk made a mental note regarding one distinct fea-ture the shotgun-toting freak neglected to conceal. She said the robber “had just about the bluest eyes she had ever seen,” Personius reported.

I’m guessing that Johnny Dangerously flushed those blue contact lenses down the toilet long ago.

With two wrestlers in the finals Saturday night, Enumclaw High had already bagged its fourth state 3A wres-tling title in five years.

The Hornets, who finished second in 2010, posted 126 points for its 2012 crown. Yelm, the team that snatched it away that year, was second with 104 and Bonney Lake was third with 85.

“As a wrestling team that represents our community, we are humbled and proud and love bringing it home to our community and families,” coach Lee Reichert said. “That’s what it’s all about. It’s not just us. It’s a community.”

Junior Lucas Somera became the Hornets’ third two-time state champion after pinning Deondre Sparks of Pasco for the 138-pound crown.

But, it was not an easy road for Somera, who took Sparks to the mat twice during the match but was deemed out of bounds both times.

Sparks, on the other hand, had picked up a quick three points.

“I try not to let it get to me,” Somera said of trailing. “Just wrestle through it.”

That changed when Somera spied an

opening, scooped Sparks up in his arms and stuck him to the mat, posting a 3-minute, 13-second pin.

“There’s been a lot of adversity,” Somera said, noting his midseason knee injury. “Then I was third in the region and that put me in the toughest side of the bracket.”

That side of the bracket looked easy for Somera who posted a major decision and two pins on his way to the title.

The road to the finals was equally as easy for junior Tyke Reid, who waltzed through the 120-pound bracket with a

31-second pin, a 7-2 decision and anoth-er fall. All that, just to face Bonney Lake nemesis Andrew Cunningham, again. Each of their battles this season has been a nail-biter with Reid taking their regional title matchup.

Saturday it was Cunningham’s turn, as he jumped to a quick 2-0 lead and then won the match 4-1 despite stitches over his eye and a mask to protect them.

“It took the whole team,” Reichert said. “Not just the two we had in the finals. We lost two matches on the day,” Reichert said before the finals began. “It was an unbelievable regrouping.”

Reichert said the guys came off the mat after those tough losses, saying, “I’m not done coach. I’ll come back.”

4EHS girls wrestling team wins state academic title, page 12


After falling painfully shy of a state title during their maiden voyage a year ago, the Enumclaw High girls left no doubt this time around. The Hornet gymnasts, in just their second year, were clearly the cream of the crop Friday on the way to claiming the Class 3A/2A state championship.

Competing in the Tacoma Dome exhibi-tion hall, Enumclaw finished the day with 177.6 team points, out-distancing second-place Columbia River’s 167.8 and Bainbridge’s total of 167.525.

EHS sophomore Olivia Bannerot was second in Friday’s all-around with a score of 37.55, having placed fourth in the bars, tying for fourth in the floor exercise and finishing fifth on the beam. She was just a notch above Hornet freshman Maddison Ward, who was third in the all-around at 37.45 after winning the bars and placing third in the floor exercise.

The team’s depth was on display, as Hornet Molly Mattheis finished 10th in the all-around at 35.775; Emily Berte was 19th, 33.7; Michelle McKinlay, 30th, 32.6; Erica Bonthuis, 32nd, 32.2.

With the triumphant team battle concluded Friday, gymnasts turned their attention to the individual finals Saturday.

Senior Mikaela Kilcup and junior Sam Mitchell led the White River High charge as the Hornets earned a fourth-place team finish Saturday at the 2A state girls wrestling tournament.

The Hornets finished with 64 points behind champion Sedro Woolley, 83, Stanwood, 71.5, and Fife, 70.

“I am extremely proud of my River girls,” coach Rich Valdez said. “They accomplished things above and beyond any expectations and have set a solid foundation for our girls program to build upon in the coming years.

“It was an extremely tough state tournament for us,” he continued. “Our girls fought

back against every adversity they faced, from enduring injuries and toughing through it, to battling back after heart-breaking losses. They handed it all and earned the awards they received.”

Kilcup and Mitchell were the top finishers, each earn-ing a third-place medal.

Kilcup earned her medal by pinning Marissa Veliz of Lynden in 3 minutes. Mitchell earned her third-place finish with a 9-2 deci-sion over Aysha Schwinden of Mount Baker.

Kilcup earned the state academic title for her weight class, pulling down a perfect 4.0 grade-point average.

Junior Dylan Fagan fin-ished fifth, pinning Kaela Piehler of Mount Baker for her final match.

Senior Kamy Padgett fin-ished seventh, sticking Rose Eram of Mountain View in the opening 47 seconds of the match.

The Hornets also took Kaitlyn Johnson, Kalynn Gulin and Morgan Shirey to the tournament.


Bennon VanHoof and Jesse Skipworth were Enumclaw High’s top medal earners at the 3A state swim and dive meet Saturday at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.

VanHoof, a junior, finished fifth in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1-minute, 01.32 seconds. Friday morning, VanHoof posted a 1:00.40 in prelimi-naries. Raymond Ha of Liberty won the event with an All-American Consideration time of 57.46.

VanHoof also raced to a 14th-place finish in the 100 freestyle in the consolation finals with a time of 49.51.

Skipworth, a senior, cruised through Friday’s pre-liminary diving and closed out Saturday’s finals with 316.85 points for sixth place. Eddie Young of Shorewood won the contest with 442.80 points.

Hornet Thomas Petersen finished 19th in the 100 backstroke and teammate Will Cooper was 22nd in the butterfly. Both are juniors.

Petersen, Cooper, VanHoof and Gabe Sales also competed in the 200 medley relay, but did not place.

Lakeside won the meet with 311 points, edging out Mercer Island with 300. Enumclaw finished 20th.

Enumclaw High’s girls wrestling team finished 11th on the mat Saturday at the 3A state wrestling tourna-ment, but the Lady Hornets brought home top honors, winning the state academic team championship.

“The girls were really excit-ed about that,” coach Jerry Scheidt said. “That was great. There’s great motivation to do it again next year.”

The team combined for a 3.378 grade-point average. Senior Kassandra Renfrow earned an individual state aca-demic title for her 3.73 GPA.

The Hornets were also successful on the mat. Sedro Woolley won the tournament with 83 points. Stanwood, 71.5, Fife, 70, and White River, 64, followed. EHS sat in the top 10 until the final bouts when they were bumped to

finish with 44 points.“I’m proud of the girls.

They all finished off the sea-son with a win,” Scheidt said.

Freshman KC Moulden earned the team’s top fin-ish, taking third place at 265 pounds, besting Kimiko Misioka of Fife 4-3.

Junior Jade Paterson fin-ished fifth at 170 pounds.

Despite a shoulder inju-ry, sophomore Danielle Cormier, 145 pounds, earned a seventh-place finish.

The Hornets also took senior Logann Erskine and junior Sam Lanting.

EHS scores classroom title


The Enumclaw High girls saw their hoop dreams come to a sudden finale Feb. 15.

The Hornets were paired against the Camas Papermakers in the opening round of the West Central/

Southwest distict basketball tournament. Sitting in a loser-out part of the brack-et, Enumclaw lost a 57-56 heartbreaker.

The game was played on a neutral court at Clover Park.

This year’s crew contin-

ued the upward swing that has marked the tenure of coach Beth Madill. Taking over a struggling program, Madill’s first team won just three games; things improved to 12-14 during her second season and, this year, the Hornets pushed their overall record to 15-8.


White River High junior Chris Skinner worked his tail off to earn the Hornets’ top spot at Saturday’s 2A state boys wrestling tournament. After two days of surprises, Skinner finished sixth.

“The boys had a rough tournament,” coach Joe Klein said of his young crew, “but they gained valuable experience that hopefully raises their work ethic to the next level.”

WRHS took six wrestlers into the tournament, but quickly saw the tide turn after the first rounds of competition.

Brandon Short, Travis Morris, Brennon Gulin, Trevor Kurtz and Carl Klein saw their medal chances dashed.

Skinner kicked off the tournament with an 11-7 deci-sion and a 7-4 victory and was on his way to the 182-pound finals when he ran into Kyzer Bailey of Centralia. Skinner had Bailey on his back for most of the first round, but Bailey rallied to win 13-9.

“Chris is a great kid,” Klein said. “To fight through what he did and be a state placer, he did a great job.”

Deer Park won the competition with 154 points. Centralia was second with 134 and Fife finished third with 78.5. White River finished 30th.

Klein said he was disappointed in the outcome, but not the season, one in which White River won the regional crown.

A Hornet highlight from off the mat was junior Carl Klein’s individual state academic title at the 126-pound weight class for his perfect 4.0 grade-point average.


The White River High girls find themselves once again among Washington’s 2A basketball elite, landing in the Sweet 16 and headed to the regional round of the state tournament.

The Hornet girls will play Saturday at Tacoma’s Mount Tahoma to see if they make the final eight who will participate in this year’s Hardwood Classic.

The Classic will be staged March 1-3 at the SunDome in Yakima.

White River will head to Mount Tahoma as either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed from district competition, which wrapped up Monday at Kent’s ShoWare Center; results came too late to be included here. Monday’s contest had White River squaring off against Port Angeles. The winner will

play at 6 p.m. Saturday, with the loser taking the court at 4 p.m.

To reach the district finals, White River defeated Eatonville 47-44 Saturday and had demolished Interlake 66-29 Friday. Both games were at Lakes High.

Kennedy Hobert paced the offense against Eatonville with 15 points.

Friday, Amanda Lance poured in 20 points to lead all scorers and Hobert added 15.

White River’s three West Central District boys basket-ball victories over Renton, Sequim and Clover Park came by a combined total of 10 points.

A dramatic 53-52 nail biter over 2A defending state champion Clover Park, con-tested at Foss Saturday, was a tactical triumph for the Hornets.

Clover Park had won 20 of 25

games but was missing David Crisp, who has a broken foot.

Coming down to the wire with the Warriors, guard Alex Sayler buried a crucial 3-point basket, which gave WRHS a one-point advan-tage with less than a minute to play. Clover Park missed on its ensuing trip down the floor and White River con-

sumed most of the 35-sec-ond shot clock before letting one fly with 10 seconds left in the barnburner.

After the delay CPHS las-soed the rebound, but the Hornets had fouls to burn. Before Clover Park could make it to the bonus situation, White River used them both, deter-ring the Warriors from getting past half court. Consequently, the last grains of sand slipped through the hourglass and it was game over.

Billy Kiel, Brandon Dove

and Sayler combined for 44 of White River’s 53 points as the Hornets surged back in the fourth frame to earn the critical win, also notching their 20th triumph overall.

The Hornets went looking for postseason win number six in a row Monday in the WCD championship contest against Sumner at Kent’s ShoWare Center, but lost 55-39 to the Sumner Spartans.

White River is No. 2 and plays at 6 p.m. Friday at Mount Tahoma.

The Carbonado His-torical School District’s record of cherished commu-nity support for its levies and bonds continued Feb. 14 as voters approved a four-year educational programs and operations levy.

By Friday afternoon, the levy was passing with a 67.08 percent “yes” vote. According to the Pierce County Auditor’s Office, 163 voters approved the levy, while 80 voted no.

The maintenance and operation levy, approxi-mately 25 percent of the Carbonado School District budget, will keep the kinder-garten through eighth-grade school running. The levy covers expenses the state’s basic education money does not – items and programs like additional teachers and classified employees to keep class sizes low. The levy also supports student learning materials, supplies, books, instructional technology materials, computer equip-ment, music programs, sports, transportation and maintenance and upkeep.

It replaces the existing maintenance and opera-tions levy that expires in December.

In 2013, taxpay-ers can expect the district to collect $522,000 at a tax rate of $5.51 per $1,000 of assessed property value. In 2014, the district will collect a little more, $538,000, at a rate of $5.52 per $1,000. In 2015, the tax rate remains the same with a collection of $554,000. In the final year, 2016, the dis-trict will collect $571,000 at $5.53 per $1,000 of assessed value.

As an example, in 2013, a homeowner will pay $551 on $100,000 assessed valu-ation.

Voters support small district


In March 1969, Paul Huhtala stopped by the White River School District transportation department, where he picked up an application for his wife Mary to drive a school bus.

“I came home, gave it to her and she filled it out,” Paul said. “That was 43 years ago. That started it.”

“I figured he had his logging truck, and I thought if I could drive that around I could drive a bus,” Mary Huhtala said. “I always felt I was a driver I’ve always loved to drive.”

Mary Huhtala retired her seat behind the wheel earlier this year. During her four decades, she has toted generations of White River students from home to school and back, to athletic events, on field trips and up the hill for ski lessons.

Her scrapbook is filled with cards, color-crayon drawings, the “kitty” from her kindergarten bus window, class photographs, news-paper clippings and, neatly tucked in its pages, the second-place cer-tificate Huhtala earned at the 1982 school bus rodeo.

When she started in 1969, she was one of seven drivers. Her test was a jaunt around town behind the wheel and then she was assigned a route that took her down one side and up the other of state Route 410 and into Buckley. There was no

map, just a general direction to fol-low, she said.

At the time there were three schools – Wickersham, the old school which no longer exists, Wilkeson Elementary and the com-bined middle-high school.

The district’s buses were garaged at what is now the Glacier Middle School campus. Today, the fleet, nearly 50 strong, lines one side of SR410 on the outskirts of town. Drivers today go through extensive training and background checks with student safety the priority.

There are 33 drivers in White River’s bus barn these days, a com-bination of men and women, but in the days when Huhtala started, the majority of drivers were women. She said it was a good job that worked well with a family’s schedule.

That’s how her daughter Debbie Wentz followed in her mom’s foot-steps. Wentz, who now handles the transportation department’s routing and some dispatching, started as a substitute in 1980 right out of high school and went full time in 1984.

Transportation Director Randy

Gregg said there is very little turn-over in the White River transporta-tion department.

“We have a great team with a lot of experience,” said Gregg, who drove bus there for many years before tak-ing over the helm recently. “We’re pretty proud of our team and what we are able to accomplish.”

In addition to working with Huhtala, he remembers riding her bus as a kindergarten student.

“Mary is an exceptional employ-ee. Her heart and soul is in it for the kids and the district,” Gregg said.

“They’re my family,” Huhtala said of her friends in transporta-tion. “I’m the Momma.”

Through the years, Huhtala also developed a relationship with the buses she drove, but her favorite was a 78-passenger beast, Bus No. 14.

“I wore the thing out,” she said, recalling the trips to Pasco and Spokane with White River High’s sports teams. “That bus was the best bus I ever drove.”

Huhtala wasn’t driving the No. 14 when it met its end in a head-on collision on SR410 in 1998, but she’s pretty sure its stoutness saved the driver’s life.

In all her years behind the wheel, Huhtala never was in an accident and never late for work. She said she took great pride in representing White River.

On her last day, Huhtala said the looming separation started to overwhelm her as she was fueling and cleaning Bus No. 51, one of the special needs buses she had been driving for the past 10 years.

She said it was Paul who started her on her career and Paul who encouraged her to retire.

Paul said retirement has been a difficult decision for his wife and he points to the 2001 Mazda Miata she sports around in when she’s not driving a school bus. “It was sup-pose to be her retirement car, now it’s almost wore out,” he chuckles.

Huhtala drives off into retirement

“This is a children’s book. More accurately, this is a book about children and the kind of schools they need and deserve.”

– The opening sentences in the Introduction of “Every School, Every Team, Every

Classroom.”


White River School District Deputy Superintendent Janel Keating likes to share White River High School Principal Mike Hagadone’s comments to elementary school leaders in the district.

“These kids are my kids, I just don’t get them until ninth grade,” Hagadone

likes to say.That these-are-our-kids attitude for every stu-

dent is what Keating envisioned when she became principal at Mountain Meadow Elementary when her daughter – now in middle school – was a toddler. With a mother’s love, she started asking, “What would I want for my kid?” and then set about creating a school she would be proud for her to attend. Then she widened the range.

“Every school, every team, every classroom should be good enough for Taylor,” said soon-to-

be superintendent Keating. The title of the book, published in October

through Solution Tree Press, reflects that con-cept and the White River School District’s work with professional learning communities. Keating partnered with Bob Eaker on the book, which is being used by districts across the nation and in college classrooms. Eaker, a frequent visitor to Buckley, is a professor in educational leadership at Middle Tennessee State University.

The framework of the book is based on the PLC concept created by Eaker and Richard DuFour.

For School Board Appreciation Month in January, White River School Board members received a of “Every School, Every Team, Every Classroom: District Leadership for Growing Professional Learning Communities at Work.” The group was acknowledged for their work in the opening pages.

Educators across the country are looking at White River as a leadership model. The book’s preface notes, White River was highlighted because of its leaders efforts to improve schools.

Thousands of administrators and teachers have toured the district during the past few years.

“Our teachers take tremendous pride in having these people come in and visit,” Superintendent Tom Lockyer recently said. “And for them it’s not

a show, it’s what they do.”For Keating and staff it’s a labor of love and

common sense centered on learning for both adults and students.

In White River, learning is data driven.Student achievement was lackluster at best,

and in some schools, very low when the process began five years ago. As the district began to embed professional learning community con-cepts and practices there was improvement.

The book notes, by 2010, grades 3, 4 and 5 in White River had the highest math scores of the 15 districts and 126 elementary schools in Pierce County; math achievement in all of White River’s elementary schools ranked near the top 10 percent in the state.

Foothills Elementary, one of the lowest-per-forming elementary schools in White River, rose to become the highest-performing elementary school in Puget Sound and was named a 2010 Washington State School of Distinction.

The graduation rate in 2007-08 was 82.5 per-cent. By 2011, WRHS’s on-time graduate rate was 92 percent and had double digit increases in science and 88 percent of the students met or exceeded state standards in reading and writing. Nearly 400 students enroll in advance placement classes, compared to 60 three years earlier.

Keating said the key question is, “Can you improve learning across an entire district?”

“Yes, you can,” she said. “Are we there yet? No, but we are close.”

The end of February means it is time to add some color to the yard. Garden cen-ters and nurseries are full of potted p r i m r o s e s , dwarf daffodils in pots, winter-blooming heath-ers, hellebores and colorful pansies. If you have a win-dow box, container or pro-tected area to plant, then spring has sprung and it’s time to dig in.

This is also the week when you can find bare-root berry bushes, deciduous shrubs, fruit trees, roses and perennial veggies like rhubarb and asparagus to add to the landscape.

The advantage of buy-ing bare-root plants now is they are less expensive than the same plants sold in a pot a few months later. If you plan to buy but can’t plant the new bare-root specimens then be kind and unwind the wire or plastic tie from around the neck of your new plant and let it soak overnight in a bucket of water. You should find detailed planting instructions on the plastic bag that sur-rounds your plant’s roots but if you buy a bare-root rose plant that comes in a cardboard box around the roots, just ignore the instructions that tell you to plant the rose, box and all. Cardboard does decay but it takes a long time. Free the rose roots from the cardboard box, soak the roots in water, then plant directly into the soil.

Q. When do I prune my roses? Some

experts say February, some March and some say don’t prune them at all! It would be nice if you all agreed. B.K., Auburn

A. Gardening is an art – so gardeners

all have an opinion about pruning. You can prune hybrid tea roses, climbing roses and shrub roses now or wait another month or even wait until they are leafed out in April. The question of when to cut is more about convenience and the weather than any certain date. Some roses do not need much prun-ing but only need shaping up by shortening the lon-gest or out of place canes. This would be the shrub roses or Flower Carpet and

landscape roses. Hybrid tea roses can be pruned back hard to within 1 foot of the ground if you want large, but fewer, flowers or left taller to about 4 feet tall with more side branches if you want lanky plants with more blooms.

Here are a few more tips on the art of pruning roses:

• Use the right tool. Hand pruners are not usually large enough to handle the thick canes on old roses so bring out the pruning saw or large loppers.

• Wear thick gloves and protective clothing. Once you get jabbed by thorny rose canes you’ll want to go inside; many a rose-prun-ing job is left undone due to unprotected gardeners throwing in the trowel.

• First, remove the three Ds: Anything dead, dis-eased or damaged.

• Next, take out any branches that cross, rub or aim inward toward the cen-ter of the plant.

• Now, shorten all the canes or branches by at least one-third. This helps to stimulate the rose into making new canes and more flowers.

• Climbing rose plants are pruned differently than shrubby roses. Leave the tall canes as a framework to secure to a trellis or arbor. Then shorten all the side shoots that emerge from those canes so that they have only two buds each.

• Here’s secret way to get climbing roses to bear more blooms. Take the tip of each cane and bend it so it is arching down-ward, not pointing to the sky. Now you know why Victorian rose trellises were fan-shaped. Changing the direction of the rose canes forces them to send out more side shoots and it is these side shoots that bear the flowers.
