Enumclaw Courier-Herald, November 18, 2015

Recreational marijuana was introduced to the Plateau a year ago when two retail stores set up shop on the out-skirts of Buckley.

And coming this summer, The Green Door and Mr. Bills of Buckley will both be expanding their businesses to include stocking and sell-ing medical marijuana. It is an option allowed to them by Senate Bill 5052, also known as the Cannabis Patient Protection Act, which was

passed last July.Both businesses applied

and received their medi-cal marijuana endorse-ment from the Liquor and Cannabis Board, and will start selling medical marijua-na on July 1, 2016, when the final rules of the Cannabis Patient Protection Act come into effect.

What is medical marijuana?

Although the term medi-cal marijuana will become more common as the

Cannabis Patient Protection Act is solidified over the coming months, it’s actually a bit of a misnomer, because there is no real difference between medical and recre-ational marijuana.

“The only difference between medical and rec-reational marijuana is the intent of the user,” said Kristi Weeks, a policy coun-selor for the Washington State Department of Health. “Some strains or forms of marijuana may be more typically used by a medical

patient, such as a very high CBD (or cannabidiol) and low THC strain (the psycho-active active ingredient of recreational cannabis). But they all come from the same plant.”

Despite the common use of the phrase, medical marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and does not have medication status; it cannot be prescribed by doctors or dispensed at a pharmacy, and stores are still not allowed to make medical claims concerning

marijuana.This is because the Food

and Drug Administration has yet to approve marijuana as a treatment or medication, Weeks said, and stores and products will are required to disclaim that fact in some form.

To further prevent medi-cal claims, stores with medi-cal marijuana endorsements are allowed to advertise the fact that they have a medi-cal endorsement and that

Enumclaw voters have agreed to bump the local tax rate in exchange for guar-anteed street improvements, but residents won’t begin paying the higher tax until spring.

It’s all about timing, according to Enumclaw City Administrator Chris Searcy.

Local voters approved a tax increase as part of the Nov. 3 general election and the results await certification by the King County Elections Department. Then, instructions to implement the higher tax within the city limits must be forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue. Because Revenue operates on a quarterly cycle, Enumclaw’s new tax will not be imposed until the beginning of 2016’s second quar-ter, or April 1.

Enumclaw’s sales tax rate will jump by one-tenth of 1 percent, courtesy of voters who supported the Nov. 3 measure with better than 60 percent support. The addi-tional tax equates to an additional 10 cents for every $100 spent – or a dollar for every $1,000 in purchases. The additional tax

The city of Enumclaw is taking a different approach this year when considering financial support for entities that provide good deeds for the community.

In years past, the city has advertised its intention to offer dollars for those helping local residents. Those requests were tabulated and included as part of the mayor’s budget proposal. Whether those recommendations were accept-ed, rejected or altered was left up the members of the Enumclaw City Council – as are all items in the municipal document of anticipated rev-enues and expenditures.

This time around – when considering a 2016 spending plan – the council opted against taking financial requests. Rather, representa-tives from agencies throughout the community were asked to make their pitch directly to the council.

Some have done exactly that.Several citizens stepped forward during the

Nov. 9 session of the City Council, appealing for dollars to keep their organizations operating.

City businessman Tom Poe spoke on behalf of Plateau Outreach Ministries, emphasizing the many roles the organization plays in the community. He noted how POM gives food

BD officers help victim of domestic violenceNot all good deeds go

unnoticed.Last month, The

Covington and Maple Valley Reporter received a Facebook message from a reader describing a story where two Black Diamond police officers helped a victim of assault find a place to stay for the

evening.A f ter contac t ing

Black Diamond Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger, we learned the helpful officers were Sgt. Brian Lynch and Sgt. Brian Martinez.

“I can tell you that as the chief this is the stuff that makes you most proud,” Kiblinger said. “It’s what our officers do when nobody is looking

that you can see their character and self less-ness.”

The Reporter spoke with Martinez and he described the Sept. 29 call he and Lynch responded to.

He said the two responded to a domestic violence call where the victim had been assault-ed with a knife.

The victim was from

out of town and did not have her belongings with her or any money, he said.

Martinez said the incident happened out-side of Black Diamond’s jurisdiction but with the help of the King County Sheriff ’s Off ice, the offender was located and taken into custody.

East Pierce Fire and Rescue firefight-ers were recognized for their efforts dur-ing the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Why I Pink Award presented by Opes Advisors, a west coast mortgage and wealth management company with offices in Enumclaw, Seattle, Kirkland and Spokane. The company sponsored the Why I Pink campaign to bring awareness to all cancers, says Sara Monzo, Opes Advisors, Pacific Northwest director of marketing.

Monzo presented the award to East Pierce firefighters on Tuesday. The firefighters received a custom chalkboard donated by

Something About Chalk of Enumclaw, and Emily Bort of Opes Advisors.

Every year the Benevolent Committee, the non-profit arm of the East Pierce Professional Firefighters, International Association of Firefighters Local 3520, rais-es money during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In years past, the funds raised were donated to a variety of local chari-ties. This year, the committee selected the Carol Milgard Breast Center in Tacoma, which provides breast cancer screening for

they sell marijuana to medi-cal patients, not that they sell medical marijuana, said Weeks.

While medical claims about marijuana are being avoided, the Department of Health will be identify-ing marijuana products that it deems to be beneficial to marijuana patients.

“The legislature asked us to define what products are beneficial for patients. A lot of people thought we were going to say, ‘this kind of marijuana is medical and this kind is recreational.’ And we can’t do that,” said Weeks. “So we listened to patients and what they have said over the years, in terms of what is important to them when they buy marijuana. They wanted products there are well test-ed, and have safe-handling, accurately labeled, things like that.”

Conditions and rules for medically-beneficial mari-juana were made on Oct. 5 when the department filed emergency rules relating to quality testing. The rules expire after 120 days, but can be renewed.

Currently, marijuana can be labeled as medically-beneficial for patients if it is tested for pesticides, heavy metals and mycotoxin. There

are also additional rules con-cerning sample size and how the marijuana is handled by producers and processors.

While the emergency rules are in play, the department is going through the formal rule-making process with the public, Weeks said.

“We anticipate the final, permanent rules will be issued in the spring,” she said. “They may be a little bit different after we’ve been lis-tening to patient and indus-try feedback. But mostly the rules have been really well received.”

Marijuana producers that meet the Department of Health’s requirements for medically-beneficial mari-juana can advertise this on their products, which can be purchased by both medical marijuana patients and non-patients.

Patient benefitsPeople who are qualified to

become a patient are required to have a medical condition that is “terminal or debilitat-ing,” Weeks said. The full list of qualifying conditions are listed in the Cannabis Patient Protection Act, and include HIV, multiple sclerosis, epi-lepsy, intractable pain, and any disease that results in nausea or vomiting.

The list also includes post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, which are new qualifying condi-

tions.A patient of one or more

of these conditions, who is 18 or older, can be authorized by a doctor to use medical marijuana.

After receiving a doctor’s authorization, a patient may decide to log into a voluntary database of information for medical marijuana patients. Most of the benefits allowed to medical marijuana patients will only be available if a person is entered into the database.

Medical marijuana patients in the database will receive a state-issued identity card that can be presented at medical marijuana-endorsed stores for a number of ben-efits, Weeks said.

One benefit is not pay-ing sales tax on marijuana, although patients still have to pay the 37 percent excise tax on marijuana.

This is because Washington voters approved Advisory Vote No. 11 on Nov. 3 by 59 percent, which kept the excise tax in place for marijuana bought by patients.

Additionally, medical marijuana patients in the database are allowed to pur-chase more marijuana at a medical marijuana-endorsed store than a non-patients.

Nonpatients are allowed to purchase one ounce of dried marijuana, 16 ounces of marijuana-infused edibles, 72 ounces of marijuana in a liquid form, and seven grams of marijuana concentrate at any one time.

Medical marijuana patients will be allowed to purchase up to three times the amount nonpatients can buy at any one time, varying by the form of the marijuana.

Card-carrying medical

marijuana patients will be protected from being arrest-ed for possessing or growing marijuana in excess of non-patients.

Medical marijuana patients can be arrested but can still use an affirmative defence in court.

Medical marijuana-endorsed stores can choose to donate marijuana to medi-cal marijuana patients free of charge.

“If a patient is in the data-base, and they cannot afford the marijuana they use for medicine, a retail store with a medical endorsement can donate it to a patient or their designated caregiver,” Weeks said. “That is based on some-thing we have heard, and the Legislature has heard, for the last several years, that a lot of patients cannot afford their medication.”

The donation will still be tracked as if it was a sale, Weeks continued, although there would be no cost to the patient.

Finally, medical patients can have access to products that have 50 mg THC per serving, as opposed to the 10mg THC per serving the rest of the public has access to.

“We heard from patients that they take up to 1000 mg a day of THC, and having to take it in 10mg doses was not going to work for them,” Weeks said. “They can pur-

chase certain products that are up to 50 mg of THC per serving, but those are limited to capsules, tinctures, trans-dermal patches, and supposi-tories.”

Weeks said there will be no edibles with 50 mg THC per serving will not be made available.

Additional legislative changes

It’s not just medical mari-juana patients that may get a break in sales tax.

House Bill 2136 allows any marijuana product that the Department of Health deems medically beneficial to be sold without sales tax.

“These are products that won’t get you high,” Weeks said. “Any value they have is potentially medical, as opposed to recreational.”

Examples of products without an added sales tax for anyone, patient or not, includes edibles that have five times more CBD than THC.

For concentrates, there must be 25 percent more CBD than THC to reach the non-sales tax status.

“A lot of people have been confused and think those are the only ratios that a (medical marijuana) patient can have,” said Weeks. “It’s just a tax recognition status. Anybody can buy those products with-out paying sales tax.”

Bonney Lake advances to 3A’s Elite EightBy Sarah Brenden

For the first time in Bonney Lake High history, the Panthers football team won a state tournament game.

Friday on the road, the Panthers handed the No. 3-ranked Lincoln Abes their first loss of the season, 35-28.

“I think in my coaching career this is the top win,” coach Jason Silbaugh said.

The Panthers traveled to the Lincoln Bowl and Silbaugh said no one but the team and the coaching staff gave the Panthers a shot to beat the undefeated Narrows League champions.

Silbaugh said his squad had to adapt to the speed of the Abes, which he said was a very fast, athletic team at quarterback and running back.

The Abes scored on their first posses-sion. The Panthers turned around on their first possession and pounded the ball down the field for a touchdown.

Silbaugh said that was when the “kids really knew we can this,” as the first half went on the Panther defense took a toll on Lincoln, playing a tough, physical game. The starting quarterback for the Abes, who was the backup, went out after a hit and the

Enumclaw friends Dana Meeks, Chris Wilson and John Wilson headed to the famous Strip in Las Vegas recently to compete in the final stop of the 2015 NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series.

The Nov. 5-8 competition included 13 teams from the United States and Canada.

For the uninitiated, a drag race is between two cars or motorcycles and is a quarter-mile long in a straight line, with another half mile of track for decel-eration. Both mile-per-hour and elapsed time (in seconds) are displayed on the scoreboard, but only elapsed time deter-mines the winner.

“We were really impressed with the Las Vegas Motor Speedway complex,” Meeks said. “It’s huge. There must have been 300 dragsters and race cars on site.”

Meeks had nothing but praise for those he competed against.

“The Top Fuel Harley teams are a good group of people,” he said. “Chris, John, and I are still learning how to tune a nitro-powered engine and we received a lot of help from several crew chiefs. Don’t get me wrong, everybody is there to win — from the starting line to the finish line it’s all business. But every-where else it’s a friendly environment.”

The local team’s first pass down the Vegas track went well, clocking the quar-ter-mile in 6.885 seconds while hitting a top speed of 194.94 mph.

“It was the first time I’d deployed the parachute at that speed,” Meeks said. “It hit with quite a tug, but all went well.”

During the next two days of qualify-ing, the Enumclaw team improved to a 6.791 seconds and then 6.766, which qualified the crew seventh among the 13 bikes. From that field the top eight bikes went on to eliminations on the final day.

When the pairings were announced, Meeks was lined up against world-record holder Tommy Grimes, who competes in a 1,000 horsepower machine.

“We were the first pair of bikes to run after the funny cars,” Meeks said. “The first half of the pass went great: zero to 175 mph in 4.4 seconds. The front tire was fully airborne and it was probably the straightest, smoothest pass of my life!

But then mechanical disaster struck.“At 800 feet we dropped a cylinder,”

Meeks said. “Prior to the round we had increased the fuel pressure to generate as much power as possible at the starting line, but down track the motor was get-ting too much fuel and the fire went out.”

With the drag series concluded, the Enumclaw trio are already looking for-ward to bigger and better things.

“Overall, the weekend was a huge suc-cess,” Meeks said. “We ran with the hot-test bikes in the world and got into the show. We also learned a lot about tuning. We’re excited to build on that knowledge for 2016.”

Enumclaw racers hit The Strip at 200 mph

The White River High girls battled their way to

the state Class 2A volley-ball championships, where they won an opening-round match. From there,

things didn’t go as well for the Hornets, who dropped their next two matches and were eliminated.

The 2A volleyball tour-nament – which brought together the top 16 teams in the state – was contest-ed Friday and Saturday at St. Martin’s University in Lacey.

The Hornets opened state play with a match against Fife, a fellow member of the South Puget Sound League 2A. White River made it three victories in a row over the Trojans with a 3-1 win at St. Martin’s. Paired against Woodland in the field of eight, the Hornets fell 3-1 to a team that went on to place fourth overall. Moving into the loser’s bracket, White River lost 3-1 and was elimi-nated by a Tumwater squad that wound up with a fifth-place trophy.

The tourney capped a successful season in which White River finished 19-3 overall. That included a 13-1 mark in South Puget Sound League 2A play that brought a league champi-onship, followed by four straight victories and a West Central/SeaKing District title.

The state tournament brought the final high school matches for Hornet seniors Taylor Keating, Emily Kunst, Mahealini Stone, Shaylee Thompson and Kelsey Williams. Stone capped her prep career by being named Most Valuable Player in the SPSL 2A.

A local boys lacrosse club has received a grant from U.S. Lacrosse to help young people in its community get involved in the growing sport.

White River Boys Lacrosse, which serves some 200 athletes in third grade through high school, will receive resources from U.S. Lacrosse to field teams and put on introduc-tory clinics, ranging from equipment to coaching education, through a “First Stick” grant.

The award is the only “First Stick” grant given

to a Washington state club in 2015 and one of 110 to lacrosse clubs in 37 states. The goal is to help local youth whose families are struggling to afford the cost of youth sports try lacrosse, said Kristin Henke, co-president of the White River Lacrosse Booster Club.

“We want everyone who wants to play to be able to play. It’s a community builder,” said Henke, whose program serves Foothills, Elk Ridge, Mountain Meadow, Wilkeson and Carbonado elementary

schools along with Glacier Middle School and local high schools.

During the coming two years the grant will include 32 full lacrosse equipment sets valued up to $500 each; equipment includes a stick, helmet, shoulder and elbow pads, gloves and goaltender gear. Also included are coach’s training for U.S. Lacrosse certification and team-building.

The grant also funded a “Try Lacrosse” clinic that took place Nov. 11 at Bonney Lake High School.

usual starter came in. The starting running back also left in the first half.

As the game wore on the Panthers were able to outmuscle the athletic Abes in the trenches. Silbaugh said in the second half the defense began stopping Lincoln forcing punts.

With less than two minutes to play in the game, senior running back Ethen Koepke scored his third touchdown of the evening.

His six brought the Panthers within one point, still on the short end of a 28-27 score.

Silbaugh said he planned to go for the two-point conversion if he got the look he wanted.

“They lined favorably for us,” Silbaugh said. “Jason Day made an incredible play and pounded it in. It was exactly the play we did against Enumclaw to win in overtime.”

The game wasn’t over yet.With about 40 seconds remaining, the

Abes drove downfield.Sitting on Bonney Lake’s 26-yard line,

junior outside linebacker Riley Teed and defensive lineman Joseph O’Reilly sacked Lincoln’s quarterback inbounds for a loss of 12.

It caused Lincoln to use a timeout.With time running down, from the

33-yard line Lincoln’s quarterback lobbed a pass toward the endzone and it was inter-cepted by senior cornerback Patrick Oxile who returned it 89 yards for a touchdown.

“It was great,” Silbaugh said. Nobody thought we could beat them… but us.”

The pick-six secured the Panthers’ first postseason win.

Bonney Lake, now 7-4, enters the quar-terfinals.

Next up for the Panthers are the unde-

feated, 10-0, defending 3A state champions, the Eastside Catholic Crusaders.

The game will be played at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20 at Seattle’s Memorial Stadium.

SumnerOn a rain-soaked night in Sumner, the

Spartans saw their perfect season come to an end.

Sumner hosted Bishop Blanchet Friday in the Class 3A’s Sweet 16 and lost 28-21.

The Spartans closed out an impressive sea-son with the SPSL 3A league title, an unde-feated league record at 7-0 and 10-1 overall.

Friday, all things went the Spartans’ way in the first half.

Sumner scored on a 46-yard run by Connor Wedington and quarterback Luke Ross hit Tre Weed for another six. Nick Phillips nailed the extra points.

Despite building a 21-7 lead at the opening of the third quarter, it wasn’t the Spartans’ night.

The Braves first managed a 26-yard touch-down pass to cut Sumner’s lead to seven.

Both teams at times had trouble with turn-overs in the third quarter.

Sumner’s Jose Mascareno snagged two interceptions in the second half, but offen-sively the Spartans had difficulty capitalizing of Blanchet’s mistakes.

In the second half Sumner had trouble sustaining drives and racking up enough first downs to keep the ball.

A fourth quarter fumble by the Spartans resulted in a score and a second turnover gave Blanchet the lead.

During Sumner’s loss junior running back Connor Wedington carried the ball 21 times for 117 yards.

Congressman Rick Larsen is doing something this week his congressional colleagues from Washington and around the country are not.

He’s talking about the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement, a mega-pact negotiated by the administration of President Barack Obama with 11 Asian and Pacific Rim nations.

More precisely, Larsen is ask-ing constituents for their opinion of the proposed deal spelled out in roughly 6,000 m i n d - n u m b i n g pages made public a week ago.

These are not intended to be idle exercises in faux democracy. Congress will be voting early next year to ratify or reject the pact.

“I am taking a hard look at TPP,” Larsen said in a statement posted on his congressional website. “People can and should read the TPP text for them-selves. Everything in the agreement will be avail-able to the public for at least three months before Congress can vote on it.”

Larsen’s reading it and evaluating how it might affect the paychecks of workers and profits of com-panies in the district.

And those could be huge.The Wall Street Journal reported in June that

four of the 10 congressional districts with the most rapid growth in exports between 2006 and 2013

TPP can greatly a� ect Washington

Have you ever been asked “Gotcha!” questions in a public forum? This is what happened to Republican presidential candi-dates in the third debate recently. A few of the candidates called the moderators out on this behavior. It’s no wonder Republicans have listed “the liberal media bias” as one of their key talking points.

Since Richard Nixon, with his 5 o’clock shadow, lost the presiden-cy to a young, tanned and hand-some John F. Kennedy in the 1960 presidential debate, the modern media have helped shape politics in this nation for better and for worse.

The media in all its forms plays a vital role in this nation. The most important role is one of watch-dog – to guard the nation’s val-ues from corrupt politicians and government workers who would hide their actions from the public. Without a strong press, well-func-tioning democracy is not possible. Truth must rise to the surface. That will not happen unless there is an outlet for that information.

The News Tribune’s inci-sive investigative articles on

State Auditor Troy Kelley and Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist’s office are two exam-ples where the press plays its role well as guardian of the public good.

According to the book, “American Government: A Complete Coursebook,” media plays two different roles: to inf lu-ence public opinion and, at the same time, to shape the candi-dates’ and government officials’ behavior. Politicians are greatly affected by what is said about them and change their actions accordingly. This media inf luence weakens the power of political parties in the process.

An example of this is when the Republican presidential can-

didates respond to criticism of statements they make. Candidate behavior is shaped by those com-ments. By the media asking prob-ing questions, they inf luence pub-lic opinion.

One good example is how media attention over the Benghazi attack and Hilary Clinton’s private email server have forced her to find ways to deal with damage control, rath-er than do other things that might help her campaign with voters in the early primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

Campaigns know this and use the media to get their messages to the voting public. They center their meetings and photo oppor-tunities with the media in mind. This creates the problem that per-sonal appearance can trump expe-rience, ideas and character.

Is this a good thing? That depends. The media’s coverage definitely acts as a “fourth branch” of government. The media keeps Congress, the President and even the Supreme Court on edge about their decisions and rulings.

Drowsy driving and drunk driving are the same.

“Driver falls asleep at wheel, crashes in Vancouver. A car crashed and rolled over on its side on Highway 14 after the driver fell asleep at the

wheel.”“Police: Drowsy driver

caused crash that killed 2. The driver who caused the Jan. 2 crash that killed two people along Highway 9 near Marysville had fallen asleep at the wheel.”

“5 Dead After Driver Falls Asleep at the Wheel. Washington State Troopers say five are dead

after a driver falls asleep at the wheel on State Route 124.”

“Semi rolls over between Arlington and Mount Vernon. Washington State Patrol troopers said the driver of a FedEx truck that overturned on I-5 in Snohomish County Thursday morning likely fell asleep at the wheel.”

“Sleepy driver blamed for death of motorcy-clist on Interstate 405. A motorcyclist died Sunday night in an accident on Interstate 405, caused by the driver of a car who fell asleep at the wheel.”

These 2015 news head-

lines and many more came up from a simple web search on drowsy driving in Washington state. They are grim reminders that our society is exhausted. Since the great recession,

Press coverage of Supreme Court decisions has definitely affected Chief Justice Roberts’ rul-ings over “Obamacare.” Roberts a ltered his behavior because he is concerned about how his court will look to history.

The problem then arises, who “checks” the media? Paradoxically, while the Republican presidential candidates have made attacking lib-eral media bias one of their campaign “talking points,” they also do not

criticize the conservative media bias found on Fox with its political coverage.

As a retired politi-cal science teacher told me recently, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Network’s chief political goal seems to be to get Republicans elected. I have found people citing Fox News political comments as gospel. Of course, the liberal MSNBC does the same thing for the politi-cal left.

Media’s job is to act as watchdog, bringing cor-ruption and malpractice to light. In the process they both report and

inf luence public percep-tions and often set the political agenda. Our job as citizens and vot-ers is to remember that lesson we learned in our high school social studies

classes – to know how to separate fact from opinion in the media. American voters are the fifth branch of government who need to check all the first four branches.

were in Washington. And of those, the fast-est rise occurred in Larsen’s, which is home to the Boeing Co. plant in Everett.

And his district leads the country in the num-ber of jobs supported by exports to Asia, accord-ing to the East-West Center, an education research organization created by Congress (The tally includes exports to China, which is not a TPP party).

T he a g re ement is between the U.S. and these countries: Aust ra l ia , Br u nei , Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

The U.S. already trades with these countries and supporters argue the TPP will push exports higher.

It will erase trade bar-riers and boost business for farmers, manufac-turers, sof tware f irms and aerospace suppli-ers in the district and throughout Washington. Economists contend an increase in exports will

incite creation of new jobs.

Opponents worry the pact won’t stop corpora-tions from moving jobs out of the U.S. nor ensure the signing nations match this country’s worker and environmental protec-tion rules.

The Internat iona l Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers 751 and the Sierra Club are among an alliance of labor and environmental organizations opposed to the deal.

They also have a pret-ty good following in Larsen’s district and are

spreading the word about the upcoming meetings.

An estimated 100 peo-ple politely gave the con-gressman an earful in Anacortes Tuesday.

“Great dialogue where people challenged me, I challenged some folks, and we produced a good set of questions for fol-low-up,” Larsen wrote on Facebook afterwards.

“No…tell me how you’re really doing.”

A friend was upset that I’d been giving her the “I’m fine” line when, in fact, she was aware of some challenging cir-cumstances and health issues I’d been going through. And she wasn’t the only one; this conversation repeat-ed itself a couple of times in about as many days. So I decided to change how I answered that most basic of all questions, “How’s it going?” by being more introspec-tive. They’d raise the question and I’d launch an internal diagnostic in order to answer as truthfully and accurately (and succinctly) as I could.

Have you ever thought about how subjec-tive honesty can be? After several weeks of this ritual, I did. (To be honest), honesty is as much about where you’re focusing as it is about the accuracy of whatever

specifics you’re sharing. On one particular day, I ran the diagnostic, noted some aches and weariness, and gave the requested update to my friend. Then, just a few hours later, I noticed this: I was actually doing pretty well, once

I’d stopped analyzing the details – I was, in fact, enjoying my day.

Truism: put something under a micro-scope and it will get magnified. Corollary: whatever you don’t put under it may get missed. That’s why I stopped running that daily diagnostic decades ago.

I set out to write about thankfulness in this particular column, so let me show you how the above lesson applies. Thankfulness has very little to do with our outward state. Neither does it revolve around our inward feelings. Yet most of us have gotten in the habit of placing our

circumstances, our desires, our health and our feelings under the microscope, day by day, to see if we’re thankful yet. We’re less about counting and more about critiquing our blessings to see if they’re truly thank-worthy.

“Should I pretend to be thankful when my family has problems, my pile of stuff is too small (or old), my job isn’t very profitable or fun (or is nonexistent) and my pleasures aren’t nearly as pleasurable as they ought to be? Isn’t that hypocriti-cal?” We build our case for unthankful-ness via such questions, pat ourselves on the back for not being bitter (despite our many disappointments), and “soldier on.” Am I overstating here, or largely accurate?

Our short list for giving thanks has become very short, indeed.

Stop analyzing the minutia of your dis-satisfaction, start normalizing the prac-tice of thankfulness, and you’ll expe-rience a similar impact…only to the positive. Thankfulness frames our per-

ceptions and guides how we interpret our circumstances. It recalibrates our minds to perceive goodness and to enjoy the unique life and wherewithall that each of us has been given – even in the lean and frustrating moments. This is why thankful people are happier than dissatisfied people, regardless of their circumstances. It’s why survivors of the Great Depression can model more happi-ness than people in our day who have had incredible advantages.

Thankfulness is the ability to savor whatever measure of good you may have received in the past, whatever measure you’re currently experiencing, and even the basic providences you anticipate receiving in the future before ever seeing them come about. It’s not a mindless mantra uttered by those blind to their circumstances. It’s the practice of getting the right things under the microscope, letting them fill your vision, realizing who to thank and giving it voice.

OBITUARIES FROM 11

Page 12 • THE COURIER-HERALD • Wednesday, November 18, 2015

ENUMCLAWSCHOOL FIGHT: A

parent arrived at the police station lobby Nov. 9, tell-ing of a daughter who was involved in a fight that day at school. Officers determined the school was handling the incident.

WALLET TAKEN: A wallet was reported stolen from a vehicle. The call was made Nov. 9 from a Garrett Street victim.

PROWL, PAWN: An officer responded Nov. 8 to a Chinook Avenue address to meet with a victim who said items had been stolen from a vehicle. Two days later, police were provided information about the miss-ing items being pawned; details were forwarded to an investigator.

ROAD RAGE: Following a road rage incident on Garrett Street, a man called police wanting charges filed against the driver of a white Chevrolet pickup who alleg-edly assaulted him. The call-er was told nothing could be done without the name of the suspect, an accurate license plate number or a witness.

TRAFFIC CONTROL: City police were asked to provided traffic control at

11 p.m. Nov. 7 following a major accident at Southeast 436th Street and 218th Avenue Southeast. Also on the scene were personnel from the local fire depart-ment and the Washington State Patrol.

ARREST WARRANT: A person wanted on an Enumclaw Municipal Court warrant was delivered Nov. 7 to the city police station by King County authorities. The individual was booked into the city jail.

HOME INVASION: A resident of Mountain View Drive called police shortly before noon Nov. 6, report-ing that a man had just kicked in his front door but fled when he saw the home-owner. The suspect was described as approximately 6 feet tall, weighing 200 pounds, with short brown hair and wearing a blue sweatshirt and tan pants. The area was checked but a suspect was not located.

DOG THREATENED: A Harding Street resident told police Nov. 6 a neighbor had threatened her dog. Police contacted all involved and the issue was resolved.

TRESPASS ARREST: A person who had previ-ously been trespassed from a Monroe Avenue location

had returned, prompting a call to police the afternoon of Nov. 6. The suspect was taken into custody for crimi-nal trespass and booked into jail.

STAY AWAY: Police were called Nov. 6 to a Cole Street location following a shop-lifting attempt. The business owner did not want to press charges, but two suspects were issued no-trespassing letters.

UNDERAGE: Police con-ducted a traffic stop at 10:23 p.m. Nov. 6 on Florence Street. The stop resulted in four juveniles being taken into custody, transported to the city jail and booked for being minors in possession of alcohol. They were later released to parents.

BONNEY LAKEVEHICLE PROWL,

FRAUD: Officers were called Nov. 5 after two cars were broken into the night before. Stolen from the cars were the reporting party’s wallet, which contained credit cards and other iden-tification cards. The cards were cancelled but charges went through beforehand, all in Bonney Lake or Sumner. A list of the places the cards were used at were provided to police.

UPSET CAB DRIVER: On Nov. 7 officers were dispatched to check out an altercation between a group

of intoxicated people and a taxi driver. Dispatch advised the taxi driver pulled out a knife and left the scene, parking nearby and wait-ing for law enforcement. Two officers contacted the intoxicated group, who told officers they called a cab, but the taxi driver became upset and began driving recklessly, then told the pas-sengers to leave the cab and brandished the knife before taking off. Other officers contacted the taxi driver, who said he pulled out the knife because the one group member started acting dis-orderly, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a female taking the cab keys and tossing them. The driver retrieved the keys and called 911. Some members of the group expressed disappoint-ment that officers did not cite the driver for reckless driving, but no charges have been filed.

TOO CLOSE TO CROSSWALK: Officers responded to a call about an abandoned vehicle on Nov. 7. The vehicle had been parked for approximately four days. Officers noticed the car was parked about five feet away from a crosswalk with a tire on the roadway. Cascade towing impounded the vehi-cle.

SHOPLIFTING: Officers were dispatched on a report of a shoplifter on Nov. 8. Loss prevention already had

the female subject detained. Officers issued the woman a citation and a summons, and she was also issued a no-trespass notification from the store.

ATTEMPTED CAR THEFT: On Nov. 8 officers were called on a report to attempted theft of a vehicle. The reporting party noticed that her car window was lowered and the car itself was obviously looked through. Wires were exposed in the car, which disabled the igni-tion. It did not appear any-thing was missing from the car.

MYSTERIOUS AMMU-NITION: On Nov. 8 offi-cers signed into the prop-erty room several boxes of ammunition that were left unclaimed at a store. Loss prevention from the store advised officers the ammu-nition was not theirs and was put into lost and found before it was given to police.

NOT A CHEF: Officers were dispatched to a res-taurant on Nov. 9 to inves-tigate a drunken man try-ing to cook in the kitchen. Witnesses at the scene told officers the man was yelling at staff and extremely bel-ligerent, at one point threat-ening to kill the manager. Officers arrested the man and he was transported to Pierce County Jail, swearing at officers the entire drive.

POLICE BLOTTER

Over the past four months, the Washington State Patrol has received numerous phone calls from the public indicat-ing they have been con-tacted by our agency solicit ing donations. Based on the information received from the pub-lic, the phone calls have been from individuals attempting to scam the public for money.

The Washing ton State Patrol Troopers Association is one of many police unions or associations contact-ing the public soliciting donations. The telemar-keting company used by the association does not employ hard sell tactics nor will they ask for cred-it card numbers or per-sonal financial informa-tion over the phone. You will never receive a call from a trooper soliciting donations.

The state patrol wants to warn the public to be leery of any calls from anyone soliciting money for the agency or ask-ing for credit card num-bers or personal finan-cial information over the phone. If you suspect it is scam, hang up and con-tact one of the local state patrol district offices.

For more information on legitimate solicitors in Washington state follow the link to the Secretary of States website.

State patrol warns of phone scams

off the streets, the offi-cers worked to locate domestic violence shel-ters in the area to house the victim.

However, Martinez said, all were full that night and wouldn’t have any openings until the next day.

“A decision was made to find her a place so she could recover from the events of the night,” he said.

The officers called the Cedar Inn in Enumclaw and explained the situa-tion to them.

Martinez said the Inn was gracious and comped half of the price for a night and the officers paid for the remainder.

In law enforcement

every day, Martinez said, events like this happen.

“The 99.9 percent of officers that hold this profession truly care about the people in their communities and want to make a positive impact,” he said. “Unfortunately, it is the less than .01 percent that tarnish the badge with bad behavior and make the rest of law enforcement look bad.”

He said Lynch and him-self were “blessed to have the opportunity to help this victim and it was the efforts of two communi-ties coming together to help somebody in need.”

However, Martinez said the Cedar Inn deserves a lot of the recognition “for their generosity and will-ingness to help a person in need.”

OFFICERS FROM 2


On Nov. 4, Pierce Count y Prosecutor Mark Lindquist charged Jonathan Daniel Harris, 29, with first degree mur-der of Nicole White, 28.

White went missing in early June 2015.

Harris pleaded not guilty and is being held on $2 million bail.

In late June, Harris was originally charged with second-degree murder.

He also pleaded not guilty to those charges.

But after further analy-

sis by a forensic anthro-pologist, it was deter-mined White was bru-tally beaten to death, according to a press release from the prosecu-tor’s office.

Due to the new analy-sis of cause of death, the charges were amended from second degree mur-der to first degree.

“Thanks to forensic examination and persis-tent police work, we now have evidence to support a charge of murder in the first degree,” Lindquist said. “We’re holding the defendant fully account-able.”

On June 6, White had picked up Harris from his home and the two drove to a bar in Spanaway.

Several other bar patrons saw the two leave together but White never made it home.

She was reported miss-ing on June 7.

For the next few weeks, the Pierce County Sherif f ’s Department, the FBI and volunteers searched for the missing mom.

A K-9 with a volunteer search group found White’s body wrapped in a green tarp at the bottom of a ravine on June 20.

According to the press release, detec-tives believe after leaving the bar the two returned to Harris’ home.

They believe that is where he beat her and wrapped her body in a tarp.

According to charging documents, neighbors of Harris reported seeing a woman matching White’s description.

The neighbor also reported hearing a female

scream around 4 a.m. on June 7.

A f t e r w a r d , detectives believe Ha r r i s put White’s body in her car and drove to the wooded area where her body was found

weeks later.After disposing of the

body, it is believed Harris left her car on the side of the road and walked to his home.

Using cel l phone records and data stored on the ignition inter-lock device in his vehi-cle, detectives were able to see that Harris drove his car the next day back to where he left White’s body, the press release

stated.A search of his home

revealed blood matching White’s was found on a sweatshirt Harris was wearing at the bar.

The forensic anthropol-ogist determined White suffered severe facial, chest and arm fractures.

The press release stated these injuries are consis-tent with being stomped.

This is not Harris’ first run in with the law.

In 2008 he was charged with second degree assault and in 2011 he was charged with third degree malicious mis-chief.

to the hungry, offers coun-seling to those in need and provides winter shelter to the homeless, among its many services.

He praised the “compas-sionate, hard-working, pro-fessional people” who make up POM and, in offering his support for city funding, noted that POM is included in the city’s emergency man-agement plan.

Dan Farr also spoke in

support of Plateau Outreach Ministries, reminding the council that POM has more than 100 volunteers who step forward to help provide ser-vices for those in need.

“If we take care of peo-ple on the Plateau, then our community is a better place to live, a safer place,” Farr said.

“We’re an agency of the community, for the com-munity,” added Britt Nelson, POM executive director. She explained that Plateau Outreach Ministries has expanded its role and now

serves as a central location for outside agencies deliv-ering social services to the Enumclaw community.

In a letter addressed to Mayor Liz Reynolds and members of the council, POM asked for support to the tune of $25,000 for the coming year.

Also submitting a letter was the Enumclaw Historical Society, reiterating an ear-lier request for $15,000 to be spread over a five-year period.

Michelle Smith, of the LiveLocal 98022 group, made a pitch for funding of a feasibility study for a down-town enhancement plan. Samantha Rheinford added support for funding of the arts community, noting that an active art scene benefits everyone from schoolchil-dren to those touting area

tourism.Two agencies already get-

ting consideration are Green River College – through its small-business enhance-ment program – and the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce, which operates the local Visitor Center. In her proposed budget for 2016, Reynolds included $10,000 for each. Also in line for money is the local Women Infants and Children pro-gram. Support for WIC came last year, with a two-year contribution of $10,000; the second award of $5,000 is planned for 2016.

The second public hearing on the 2016 budget is planned for the council meeting of Nov. 23. Council members will deliberate the spending plan until adopting a formal budget document the eve-ning of Dec. 14.

The tax increase was proposed by the local Transportation Benefit District, which consists of the seven members of the Enumclaw City Council acting as an independent body.

The TBD saw the tax increase as a way to col-lect money for city streets while spreading the bur-den. The additional tax will be paid by everyone purchasing taxable goods and services in town, not

just local residents.The Transportation

Benefit District has the authority to collect money in several ways and has already exercised one of its options. In February 2015, the decision was made to collect an additional $20 one very vehicle licensed in Enumclaw. That fee remains on the books.

The license fee generates about $210,000 annually and the sales tax increase will bring in an estimat-ed $250,000 per year. All collections are mandated solely for road improve-ments.

local residents. The dona-tions will be used to pro-vide screenings for those with a high risk factor who are not otherwise covered under their insurance plan.

In the past, the firefight-ers sold pink tee-shirts as

their fundraiser. This year, the committee decided to sell pink bracelets inscribed with the words, “Hope, Strength, Love”. “This actually gave us a bigger profit margin and allowed us to give a larger dona-tion,” said East Pierce Firefighter-Paramedic Erin Richardson, who headed up the campaign. According to

Richardson the Committee raised $643 for the Cancer Center.

Monzo commended the East Pierce firefighters for their dedication to help-ing raise awareness in the community and ensuring that those who need screen-ing receive the care they require.

Mount Rainier National Park has announced its winter operations, in preparation for weather conditions and recreation opportunities the winter season provides for visitors. Though many park roads are closed to vehicle access for the winter, areas throughout the park remain open for recreation.

“Visitors can come have a great park experience dur-ing a time that offers incredible seasonal opportunities, if they plan ahead, prepare for changing conditions, and know their limitations,” Park Superintendent Randy King said.

The Longmire area will remain open seven days a week, unless major storm events require closure.

Open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the Longmire Museum provides general park information, winter activity guidance, backcountry permits and Discover Your Northwest books and maps for sale.

The historic National Park Inn provides lodging, food, gifts and snowshoe/ski rentals. For reservations, call 360-569-2275 or visit mtrainierguestservices.com.

At Paradise, the Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center is open weekends only, from 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., with additional days of operation for the holidays on Nov. 26-27 and Dec. 23- Jan. 3.

The Paradise snowplay area is not yet open. A suf-ficient snowpack depth is needed before snowplay can be opened, for both visitor safety and to avoid resource

damage to the fragile meadows below. Further updates will be announced, depending on conditions.

Ranger-guided snowshoe walks at Paradise are sched-uled to begin Dec. 23 and run through March 27, 2016. The walks will be offered on weekends and holiday peri-ods when the visitor center is open; they begin at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and last two hours each. Sign-ups are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and begin one hour in advance of each walk at the Jackson Visitor Center information desk. Participants should dress warmly (lay-ers), have warm hats and gloves and wear appropriate footwear suitable for snowshoes. Sunglasses, sunscreen and water are also advised.

On Jan. 2, reserved snowshoe walks will begin for groups of 15 to 25 visitors, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Group reservations can be made by calling 360-569-6575 between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. If the gate opening between Longmire and Paradise is delayed, snowshoe walk times may be adjusted or led from the Longmire Museum.

As in past years, the main gate at the southwest entrance to the park (Nisqually) will remain open 24 hours a day, seven days a week unless hazardous condi-tions require a temporary closure. The higher elevation gate, located on the road between Longmire and Paradise,

is closed nightly to ensure visitor and staff safety, with uphill access closing at 4 p.m. to allow time for visitors and staff to exit safely. Each morning, rangers and road crew staff will evaluate road, weather and avalanche conditions to determine when it is safe to open the road above Longmire. The standard open hours of this road are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with daily road opening/closing updates posted to Twitter.

Follow the feed at twitter.com/MountRainierNPS.

The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.

Though closed to vehicle access for the winter, these areas remain open for win-ter recreation, though temporary closures of areas may become necessary due to changing conditions:

• Carbon River Road• Mowich Lake Road• Paradise Valley Road• Ricksecker Point Road• Stevens Canyon Road• Sunrise Road• Westside Road• White River RoadAt this time, state Route 123 (Cayuse Pass)

and SR 410 (Chinook Pass) remain open, but are dependent on changing weather condi-tions. The seasonal closures of these routes

will be announced by the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Visitors are reminded that all vehicles (including four-wheel drive) are required to carry tire chains when traveling in the park from Nov. 1 through May 1. Road condi-tions can deteriorate quickly at any time and mandatory chain use may be required for all vehicles. Tire chains are available at the Summit House in Ashford and at the National Park Inn in Longmire.

With a valid permit, overnight winter camping is allowed throughout the park; however, access is dependent on road condi-tions. Campers should plan their travel with an understanding of nightly gate closures. Overnight camping in vehicles is not allowed

in the park. For winter camping reservations, call 360-569-6575 between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Backcountry travelers are encouraged to get updates on weather conditions, current and projected snow, and avalanche condi-tions before arriving at the park.

vide services throughout the winter. Check their websites for visitor information: www.visitrainier.com, www.mt-rainier.com, www.mtrainierguestservices.com, www.miner-allake.com, www.staycrystal.com, www.discoverlewiscounty.com and www.destinationpackwood.com

Enumclaw resident Cave celebrates 103 years

A celebration for Rena Cave, who cel-ebrated her 103rd birthday on Nov. 4, took place the afternoon of Nov. 7 at Enumclaw Health and Rehabilitation Center.

Rena Cave grew up on a farm near Clearwater, Neb, attended Wayne State Teachers College and then taught students in a one-room school until moving in 1940 with her husband, John Blackmore, to Seattle. She worked in a drug store, at Sears and then for Boeing as a com-puter operator. She later married Fred

Cave, who died in 1971. Following retirement, she became active in AARP and eventually became the organi-zation’s Washington state director, traveling throughout the coun-try and addressing problems facing the elderly.

She has two daughters – Bethyl Skilton of SeaTac and Shirley Tustin of Enumclaw – along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grand-children.

Giving Trees will provide gifts for local children

Enumclaw Youth and Family Services is asking Enumclaw residents to help a child this Christmas by participating in the Giving Tree program.

To purchase an individual gift for local children, visit a Giving Tree at Work Sports and Outdoors, 840 Roosevelt Ave., or at EYFS, 1356 Cole St., both in Enumclaw. The trees will be in place by Nov. 25.

Donated gifts should be returned to either site by Dec. 14. They will be distrib-uted to local families on Dec. 17.

For more information, contact Christine Adkins, EYFS case manager, at 360-825-4586, ext. 5654.

Man of the Season

The third week of November is the time to give thanks. Gardeners in Western Washington can adapt an attitude of grati-tude each time they look outdoors and enjoy the reason we call this the Evergreen State.

Here are a few more tributes to our climate and

things not to worry about if you’re lucky enough to live here:

Be thankfulfor our weather

We don’t lose giant trees or small houses to torna-dos, cyclones or hurricanes. Our wind storms can be

fierce but they don’t pick up houses and transport them over the rainbow.

Be thankfulfor our mountainsWe live on the green and

wet side of the Cascade Mountains and this range provides more than just beautiful scenery. The

mountains also supply the region with plenty of clean, renewable water. There is no danger of our area turning into a dustbowl thanks to ocean storms and the bar-rier of our beautiful moun-tains. Sure, we must still conserve our liquid assets but even without supple-mental watering our lawns would stay green (except in late summer) our fruit and flowering trees would still produce and there are plenty of flowers that thrive on our rainfall alone.

Be thankful for gardening information

We no longer need to paint cut tree limbs – sci-ence proves they heal best when exposed to the air. We don’t have to collect

the lawn clippings – science proves they will decompose and return nitrogen to the soil. We no longer need to burn piles of leaves when they clog the streets in the fall – cities now collect yard waste and turn it into compost. We no lon-

ger spray toxic poisons all over our gardens to destroy all insects – science shows heavy use of pesticides does more harm than good.

Be thankful for the Master Gardener

programWashington State

University gets credit for planting the seed of the first Master Gardener program more than 40 years ago. The idea of training inter-ested citizens with science based gardening informa-tion that they then share with the public has now spread to all 50 states and many foreign countries. In exchange for training the Master Gardeners give back to the community by donating thousands of hours to answering ques-

tions, maintaining test gar-dens and teaching others how to compost, mulch and control garden pests. Every community has been enriched by the Master Gardener program.

Ready to give back? If you love gardening and are ready to give back some-thing to your community, learn more about becom-ing a Master Gardener at www.mastergardener.wsu.edu You’ll thank me.

Second annual Mayor’s Food

Drive

King County Executive Dow Constantine and Council Chair Larry Phillips signed into law one of the most ambitious cli-mate action plans in the United States. It provides a roadmap for the region to reduce carbon pollution, increase transit, protect open spaces, improve recy-cling options, and prepare for climate change impacts.

The co-founder of Earth Day, Bullitt Foundation President Denis Hayes, reviewed the plan that

Executive Constantine pro-posed in September and said, “Your plan is the best that I’ve seen. It has bold interim and bold final tar-gets, and it proposes poli-cies that would move the county powerfully in the right direction.”

“Climate change threat-ens our health, economy, environment—our entire future,” said Constantine. “This ambitious, com-prehensive strategic plan ensures that King County will remain a national lead-

er in the effort to confront the greatest challenge of our generation.”

The signing ceremony followed a unanimous vote by the Metropolitan King County Council to approve the executive’s proposed 2015 Strategic Climate Action Plan, which was developed in partner-ship with 13 cities in King County.

The plan outlines com-mitments and actions that will:

• Double transit rider-ship by 2040.

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050.

• Achieve a 70 percent recycling rate in the King County solid waste service area by 2020.

• Partner to phase out coal-fired electricity by 2025 and increase develop-

ment of renewable energy resources.

• Use 100 percent green-house gas-neutral electric-ity in government opera-tions by 2025.

• Plant at least 1 million trees by 2020 in coopera-tion with public and private partners.

• Permanently conserve remaining high-priority farms, forests, and other open spaces throughout King County within 30 years.

• Prepare for climate change impacts associated with King County services such as wastewater treat-ment, storm water, emer-gency management, public health, roads, f lood-risk reduction, and salmon recovery.

Unlike the traditional approach in which commu-nity engagement ends when

the plan is adopted, the Strategic Climate Action Plan creates the framework for ongoing engagement with a particular focus on communities that are dis-proportionately impacted by climate change.

The county will col-laborate with cities, busi-nesses, nonprofits, utilities, and research universities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen the region’s resiliency to climate change impacts.

Building on progress

According to a King County release, the action plan builds upon King County’s investment in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preparing for the impacts of climate change.

King County has already

reduced energy usage in its buildings by more than 15 percent since 2010. Metro Transit has the greenest bus fleet in the nation and is on track to have an all-hybrid and electric f leet by 2018. Earlier this year, King County became the largest local government in the United States to use the same real-time ener-gy-tracking software that Microsoft uses to reduce its carbon emissions and ener-gy costs in its buildings.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the state’s Growth Management Act, the Washington State Department of Commerce recently awarded King County its Lifetime Achievement Award for its innovative partnership with the city of Seattle to promote smart growth and protect farmland and forestland.

we are working longer hours just to keep a roof over our heads. More and more adults also suffer from undiagnosed disor-ders like sleep apnea and acute insomnia. On our campuses, high school and college students pull “All Nighters” to study for tests or write papers and are always tired.

We are also a culture centered around the automobile. But lack of sleep and driving a car is a deadly combina-tion. On Washington’s roads, there were at least 10 deaths and 77 serious injuries in 2013 that were directly linked to a driv-er who fell asleep at the wheel. According to the AAA Foundation, drowsy drivers are involved in an estimated 21 percent of all fatal crashes, up from 4.5 percent from 2010. Nationwide, drowsy drivers have caused 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year.

A reasonable person would never drive a car when drunk. But many people will drive when they are too tired. There is no difference between being drunk or tired when you are behind the wheel. A study by researchers in Australia showed that being awake for 18 hours produced an impairment equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .05, and .10 after 24 hours; .08 is considered legally drunk in Washington state.

We tend to ignore sta-tistics of drowsy driving

injuries and deaths. We think, “That will never happen to me.” Sadly, my daughter Mora Shaw was one of those drowsy driving stats. She and my family know firsthand the pain and suffering caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel of a car after being awake for over 20 hours. Nine years ago, Mora, then a 17 year old Issaquah High gradu-ate, was nearly killed as a result of driver who fell asleep at the wheel while driving over Blewett Pass. Suffering serious multiple fractures and a two week coma, Mora barely sur-vived. She spent years in recovery.

Like drunk driving prevention 30 years ago, the only thing that will change mind-sets and habits about drivers get-ting behind the wheel of a car when they have not

slept for 20 plus hours is swift and sure penalties. Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge need to understand the widespread serious-ness of drowsy driv-ing. Their attitudes and our laws about it need to change.

Drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk drivers do. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured this year. Just ask my daughter. Just ask me.

Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Nov. 1-8 as Washington state’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week. During the busy holiday season, we urge all drivers to be aware of their fatigue before getting behind the wheel of a car. Get some rest and save a life.

The Shaw family has made it their mission to educate the public on

the all too often tragic

consequences of driv-

ing while drowsy. In addition to Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2015 Drowsy Driving Prevention and Awareness Week procla-mation, the Shaw fam-ily has also partnered with the Washington State Patrol , the Washington state Traffic Safety Commission , AAA of Washington, T h e Wa s h i n g t o n state Department of Transportation and the

King County Sherif fs’ Office in their efforts to promote Drowsy Driving awareness and preven-tion in Washington. The statewide proclamation is also in concert with the National Drowsy Driving Prevention Week, spon-sored by the National S leep Foundation’s Drowsy Driving website: http://drowsydriving.org.

It’s amazing what a few shelves will do for a room� e one lesson I’ve

learned as a parent is not to take my kids’ moods personally. I watch them carefully, because I think teen depression is one of the scariest emotional states for a parent to deal with, but I know it’s not about me.

However, something I’ve said or done may trigger an icy mood. Like the Sun-day a� er Halloween, during my youngest daughter’s candy-induced sugar crash, when I told her that yes, she had to go to school on Monday. She felt overwhelmed because we’d torn apart a corner of her room a� er her friends le� on Sunday morning from their Halloween party. She was unable to mentally deal with the room, plus she had homework to � nish for a Mon-day morning class.

Someone had to be the voice of reason

and it’s usually me. Kids need to understand our jobs come � rst and we � t the rest of our tasks in as we have time; their job is school. For me, it was better to have her at school in a foul mood than be at home, not getting anything done

because she was in a foul mood, then watch it snowball with missed school work.

When the kids got home from school, my youngest had a headache she claims was caused by dehydration, which it partly may have been, but I’m sure sugar withdrawal also contributed. I had a nice, healthy din-ner ready for them and she was in a better mood at the table. I asked about her icy mood that morning and she told me she had hoped I’d bring it up and let her stay home.

I’m her mother. I know those times when she truly needs a mental break from school.

Monday she was just being lazy and even though her statement “I just didn’t want to go to school” was partially so she could work on settling her bedroom, I was pretty sure she’d have slept o� her sugar hangover instead.

However, I had noticed she’d been in a melancholy mood of late. I realized last week she hadn’t really taken ownership of her new room since she and her friend moved in there in July. I felt bad for her, because I know I feel paralyzed to accom-plish anything when my space is in chaos. We tore apart that corner of the room so she could resolve those issues.

Again, being the voice of reason, I talked her into letting go of her beloved desk. It worked great in her little, cozy bedroom. But in the larger bonus room she now shares with our adopted middle daughter, it just took up space that would be better suited for storage. So we moved the desk out and bought three new shelves.

It was kind of an amazing phenomenon.

As the room got neater, my daughter’s mood got lighter. I checked on her progress every so o� en to see the transformation; not just in the room, but also in my daugh-ter. I was in my bedroom when I heard her tinkling of laughter in the hallway.

Although she’s not been a Sad Sack since July when they moved in to the room, I realized I hadn’t heard the relaxation in her voice for many weeks; maybe since school started. � at was the giggle of a girl who felt like she was � nally settled and in control with full ownership of her space.

It’s amazing what a few shelves will do.

King County employ-ees would become eligi-ble for up to 12 weeks of

paid parental leave upon the birth or adoption of a child, under a proposal

King County Executive Dow Constantine sent this week to the King County

Council.“Science shows that new-

borns’ earliest experiences are the most important to their long-term success. For children to flourish, they need time to bond with their parents,” said Executive Constantine. “This measure places King County on the forefront of a growing national conver-sation about the well-being of children and families, and the expectations of a 21st century workforce.”

The legislation sent to the King County Council, where it is sponsored by Councilman Rod Dembowski, would supple-ment an employee’s accrued paid leave at the time he or she welcomes a new fam-ily member through birth,

adoption, or foster-to-adopt placement. The employee would become eligible for a total of 12 weeks of paid leave, by combining the supplemental leave with the employee’s existing accrued paid leave, while permitting the employee to reserve one week of sick leave and one week of vacation leave.

The executive’s proposal supports the county’s coun-ty’s principles of equity and social justice by reducing disparities in leave-taking between workers at the lower and higher ends of the salary scale, and helps avoid workers having to drop out of the workforce entirely.

The Executive’s proposal also supports the county’s Strategic Plan, which calls

for developing and retain-ing a quality workforce. Several major employ-ers in the region, includ-ing Microsoft, Amazon, the City of Seattle, and the Gates Foundation, have recently boosted their paid parental leave programs in order to draw top-caliber employees.

The United States stands virtually alone in not man-dating paid leave of any type for its workers, with an estimated 12 percent of employers voluntarily offering paid parental leave. Most of those are in the three states that have publicly funded some level of paid family leave: California, Rhode Island, and New Jersey.

Constantine proposes parental leave law

Dear friends,

How many of you remem-ber the movie, “Back to the Future II” that was released in 1989? In the movie they

made a lot of predictions about the future; speci� cally by the date Octo-ber 21, 2015. Below are just a few examples from the movie.

� ings the � lm got right:Flat Screen TVVideo conference technologyBiometric identi� cation

� ings the � lm got wrong:Hover boardSelf-lacing shoes

Changes in technology have expo-nentially impacted how we live our personal and professional lives. As a student in the Enumclaw School District in the 1970’s and 80’s, November was the time of year when we found out how we were doing in school. � is was the time of year for report cards and conferences. � is is when both my parents and I knew the progress I was making in school.

As a school system, we are attempting

to become better at providing par-ents with good, real time data about the progress of their child. We still have these two structures of report cards and conferences in place in our system, but we also have a wonder-ful, electronic system that parents can access 24/7 to review information on their children.

On our Family Access system you can see:

AttendanceLunch account informationCurrent grades/missing assignmentDiscipline

If you have not signed up for Fam-ily Access, you can � ll out the form located on our Enumclaw School District website (http://www.enum-claw.wednet.edu/families/familyac-cess/default.aspx) or see your school’s o� ce manager.

In addition to Family Access, each teacher has a Swift website where they post information about their class schedules and homework assignments. � e Swift websites for teachers can be accessed directly from the home page on our website.

Long-time supporter of the Enumclaw FFA, Paddy Irwin, invited Agriculture teacher, Kaitlin Horton and her FFA members to attend the annual King-Pierce County Farm Bureau dinner meeting. The EHS Advanced Floral class creates the center pieces for the event each year, but this year a few of our students were able to attend. Congressman Dave Reichert was the keynote speaker. During the social hour, the students introduced themselves and had the opportunity to personally discuss some controversial agriculture topics including economics and trade, and immigration. Congressman Reichert was very excited to meet some FFA students from his cousin’s (former Coach Lee Reichert) old high school and enjoyed telling the students stories about Coach Reichert! Other dignitaries were present as well many infl uential agriculturalists. This event also met the students’ government visitation assignment. What a wonderful opportunity for our students!

Enumclaw Middle School Leadership Students:

Serving the Community

Karl Karkainen, Leadership in-structor at Enumclaw Middle School, reports that his students have been busy this month.

The students assisted with prep-arations for the Sunrise back-pack program which provides meals for our students over the weekend. They also visited High Point Village to honor the Veter-ans there with a presentation. It was great to see they presented to a full house!

Thanks to Mr. Karkainen and his students for their excellent service in our community!

Music - Music - Music!Anyone who was

privileged to be in the audiences at our middle

school fall music concerts will be able to tell you that both of these performances,

under the direction of Sarah vanVegten at Thunder Mt. Middle

School, and Nicole Laborte at Enumclaw Middle

School, were outstanding!

We are very proud of our instructors who manage both instrumental and choir programs at the

middle school level and our student performers.

Dancers!Jill Carlson and Pamela Tseu, teachers at Southwood and Westwood Elementaries, teach a social dance and etiquette unit to their 5th graders. For the fi rst time, the two schools were brought together to dance! In this unit our students learn:

• Leadership skills• Teamwork• Respect for others • Show kindness• How they affect the world for good or bad• Earning trust...

On October 27th, all Thunder Mountain Middle School eighth graders in Rose Leggett’s history classes were treated to a Living Voices presentation sponsored by the King County Library System. “Our Revolution” is a one-man dramatization of the life story of Peter Freeman, an African-American young man who joins the patriot militia during the Revolu-tionary War. It was a wonderful opportu-nity for our students to see history come alive! We are grateful to the King County Library System and Mrs . Legget t for offering this learning experience to our students!

“The City of Bonney Lake’s mission is to protect the community’s livable identity and scenic beauty through responsible growth planning and by providing accountable, accessible and efficient local government services.”

City of Bonney Lake NOVEMBER 2015 Newsletter

REPORTER

On October 20th, the City received an official notice from the Washington

Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration that Bonney Lake’s “Safe Routes To Schools” Fennel Creek trail project was selected as the 2015 Award of Excellence recipient in the Best Special Project category. The award will be presented to the City at the November 24th council meeting. This segment of the Fennel Creek Trail runs between Crystal Meadows subdivision and Victor Falls Elementary School. The trail is most easily accessed off 185th Avenue E.

In 2007 the Fennel Creek Trail Master Plan was completed following extensive public involvement. Significant challenges were recognized. Route specific topographical surveys identified extensive wetlands, and even more challenging a long steep slope near the terminus at Victor Falls Elementary School. Project Manager Gary Leaf and his team looked at several alternatives to traverse the slope. Crossing Fennel Creek was fairly straight forward. However, physical challenges, including steep terrain and wetlands took considerable work to overcome. The result is an aesthetically pleasing trail that provides an environmentally sensitive, healthy and safe transportation alternative between neighborhoods and schools.
