Thursday afternoon Amanda Skipworth was in full production, throwing chunks of gray clay on her pottery wheel and spinning them into simple, yet stylish, bowls.

One after another, the Enumclaw resident and former Green River Community College pottery student kept turning out clay bowls.

She wasn’t alone in the Auburn campus pot-tery studio. All around her were volunteers, former students, staff members, faculty and even Enumclaw Mayor Liz Reynolds.

All were working feverishly to produce between 150 and 200 bowls for Enumclaw’s inaugural Empty Bowls program.

Empty Bowls is an international grass roots

Bowls feed the hungry

By Kevin HansonEditor

Like communities across the nation, Enumclaw is beginning the process of drafting a 2012 budget fraught with finan-cial difficulty.

A dismal general scenario – lagging revenues and increasing costs – has been widely assumed, but was put into print Friday. Mayor Liz Reynolds’ preliminary budget was released, validating the gloomy expectations.

“For the past several years, starting with the 2010 budget, city government has noticeably contracted,” Reynolds wrote in her introduction to the 2012 budget. “Failing revenues and rising costs have forced reductions across the entire orga-nization.”

Any hope of a financial turnaround, the mayor wrote, was dashed when the state’s September forecast predicted several more years of economic turmoil and high unem-ployment. Several years into a national recession, the impacts are evident in fac-tors that help shape the municipal budget: delinquencies in utility payments, foreclo-sures of personal and business properties, a significant decrease in local property values and continued local and regional unemployment.

Reynolds’ preliminary budget shows bad news in the general fund, the por-tion of the budget that pays for essential services like police protection, parks and recreation, senior and youth services, street maintenance and city adminis-tration. The fund begins with assumed total revenues of about $7.74 million and anticipated expenditures of nearly $8.1 million.

The proposal is to make ends meet by slicing reserves from approximately $1.12

I want Enumclaw to thrive and prosper as a community for my family and yours. I grew up in this town. I loved growing up here. It was a great place to live. Now, I am raising my six children in this community with my wife Dr. Holly Dickson. I want this community to be as good for my kids and yours as it was for me.

The cities handling of the Astro Turf Field negotiations with the school district was a disappointment. If the city council had set policy to the administration that encourages affordable community use at the Field House and Expo center this frustration could have been avoided. We need to keep the vision of Pete Chorak alive!

You have probably heard that our city has a budget shortfall of $600,000 coming in 2012. You are going to see all kinds of cuts to services in our community in the very near future. This will impact you and your family. My opponent is the chair of the fi nance commit-tee. He is a history professor. He does not have a fi nancial education. I have a fi nance degree. I have been a business owner for 30 years. I have 45+ employees. When I look to hire an employee I look for someone that has experience and education to do the job. I would never hire a fi nance director if the person had no fi nance education or experience running a com-pany’s fi nances.

My opponent has no business experience. My com-pany specializes in turning around troubled businesses. My opponent is one of three people that oversee the Expo center. Under his leadership the Expo center has lost $1.5 million of your money in the last four years and also lost a $1.4 million dollar federal grant for a park and ride. It’s not okay.

I chose to run for City Council position #2 to give our community a clear alternative. Please offer your assistance, I need your help. I would appreciate your vote and the vote of your family and friends so we can make a difference together.

Preparation for the upcoming winter season at Mount Rainier is under way.

As of Monday, the road to Sunrise was closed at the White River Campground gate. The road between White River Campground and state Route 410 will be kept open through Oct. 30, weather per-

mitting. Hikers and bicyclists still have access to the Sunrise Road.

All public facilities at Sunrise will also be closed as park maintenance person-nel must begin the annual job of shutting down water, electrical and heat systems; boarding up facilities to protect them from

the winter snows; and placing snow poles to identify road alignments during next spring’s road opening. This same process will continue into the fall at White River and Ohanapecosh.

The Sunrise Visitor Center’s hours were reduced following Labor Day and the cen-ter was closed for the season Sept. 11.

At Paradise, the Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center, Paradise Camp Deli and Gift Shop are open on weekends and holi-days only. The historic Paradise Inn closed for the season on Oct. 3.

The National Park Inn and General Store and the Longmire Museum are open daily throughout the year.

For online information on visitor ser-vices and accommodations in the gateway communities surrounding the park go to the following websites: www.visitrainier.com, www.mt-rainier.com, www.staycrys-tal.com, www.destinationpackwood.com, www.minerallake.com.

Park visitors are reminded that weath-er conditions can change rapidly in the mountains during this time of the year. Effective Nov. 1, all vehicles (including four-wheel and all-wheel drive rigs) are required to carry tire chains that fit the vehicle while in the park.

effort to fight hunger. Artists create handcrafted bowls; guests pay $20 to attend the simple soup meal and choose a bowl to take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world.

The purpose is to raise awareness and financial support for local food banks – in this case, Plateau Outreach Ministries and the Kiwanis Food Bank.

Reynolds discovered the Empty Bowls pro-gram a few years ago and was waiting for the right opportunity to bring it to Enumclaw. That time came this year when GRCC Enumclaw Campus Director Diane Anderson brought it to Reynolds, after the college’s Auburn campus saw success with it in the spring.

Skipworth was also part of the planning. She par-ticipated in Auburn’s pro-gram.

“It was something I was really hoping we could do after Auburn,” she said. “It kind of came together without even trying.”

Reynolds said when the city cut its funding to POM, she knew there was a great need for the services the organization provides and wanted to come up with a way to off-set the funding losses.

“It’s a big community thing to help those who are less fortunate,” she said.

The answer was Empty Bowls.

Paul Metivier, fine arts faculty in ceramics at GRCC, was instant-ly on board. Throw-off fundraisers are some-thing Metivier remem-bers from his days as a student. Artists, he said, often don’t have money to donate to causes, but they have talent.

Last spring, the students

threw 200 pots for the Auburn Food Bank. “It went off so well,” he said. “Why not for Enumclaw? We have students from Enumclaw.

“We’re a community college, community is where we serve and it’s one way to be part of the community.”

Metivier said the throw-off is not just a good way for students to give back to the community, but it helps develop their pot-tery and team-building skills.

Using 250 pounds of clay donated by Clay Arts Center in Tacoma and 250 pounds from Arts Alive!, Thursday’s group planned to create between 150 and 200 bowls. Eventually, the

bowls will be trimmed, glazed and fired.

But Enumclaw’s Empty Bowls organizers are hop-ing to collect 400 bowls to raise $8,000.

“For a first time that’s a pretty big wish,” Reynolds said. “We want it to become an annual event.”

Reynolds plans to donate 30 to 40 from her Out of the Fire Studio, and looking for other artists to donate handcrafted bowls in any medium before Feb. 14.

“The bowl is the sym-bol,” Anderson said. “The vessel; It doesn’t have to hold liquid. The bowls have to be handcrafted, but not necessarily from clay. They can be glass, wood, felt, anything artis-

tic.The event is planned for

4 to 8 p.m. March 2 at the Enumclaw High School commons.

In addition to those mentioned, the Enumclaw Rotary and Enumclaw School District are also on board, but there is still a need for sponsors to cover costs so all money raised supports the hun-gry. Needed are local res-taurants to supply bread, soup or service ware and volunteers to help make it happen.

ELECTSANDRA SUNDSTROMBuckley City Council - Position 6

MARVIN SUNDSTROMBuckley City Council - Position 7

Is this the type of city council majority that should be making the decisions affecting the long term fiscal health of Buckley?

The Association of Washington Cities publishes a booklet “So

You Want To Be a Public Official” which states - Ethics - No Special privileges -City officials must pay the same fees for

permits or services as any other citizen. They cannot receive

or give any special privileges, discounts or exemptions, or use any city resources for private purposes. Yet -

Council Member A -by her own admission, when unable to

pay her utility bill on time was disconnected by the city per

code. The city administrator paid her bill out of his own pocket

and then made arrangements for her utilities to be turned on

after hours without paying a turn on fee others are required to

pay. This person has sat on the Admin & Finance committee

for 6 years & presently chairs that committee.

Council Member B -Though commercial kitchens are available

within the city for a reasonable rent, this person was allowed

to use the Senior Center kitchen at a rate below market, ex-

posing the city to major potential liability. This created a nice

little payoff for the council member as she has a key to the

building so her time was unmonitored. She no longer resides

in the city but apparently has full intention of voting on the

upcoming budget!

And then we have this -Council Member C -presently on paid leave of absence for

personal reasons. The questions being -Did it affect his yes

vote on last year’s bloated budget or the 12.5% increase paid

exempt staff members earlier this year?

Council Member D -Why would anyone want to be in this per-

son’s position? She gladly accepts all appointments to vacant

council committee positions as the mayor uses her vote. The

axiom “Birds of a feather flock together” rings loudly.

As voters you have a choice -our opponents have indicated by

their actions they willingly support this administration’s agen-

da of increasing spending with little to show for the increase.

Is that what you want? If not -

Candidates for the fall elections gathered in Buckley Thursday night, giving voters some insight before they’re asked to cast their general election bal-lots.

A debate, sponsored by The Courier-Herald and staged at the Glacier Middle School annex, brought together candidates for Enumclaw City Council, Buckley City Council and the Enumclaw School Board.

The most contentious pairing of the evening was between Enumclaw City Council incumbent Rich Elfers and challenger Darrel Dickson.

The theme for the eve-ning was Dickson claiming that current city difficulties would never happen “in my world” – that is, the busi-

ness world. Dickson owns rental properties through-out the region and boasts a payroll of 45 employees. Elfers repeatedly countered with the claim that Dickson “just doesn’t understand how government works,” citing his opponent’s “nar-row business perspective.”

The two shared some areas of agreement, but often disagreed, and were entirely separate on the big picture of small-town poli-tics.

Asked if he was satisfied with the current state of city affairs, Dickson replied, “No, I’m not. That’s why I’m running.” He alleged the council has shown a lack of vision and added that, during troubled times, the city needs people who can both see and create oppor-tunities.

“We’re headed for a train wreck,” he concluded.

Asked the same ques-

tion, Elfers again alluded to Dickson’s lack of under-standing.

“It’s easy to take shots if you’re not involved,” the incumbent said. “It’s not so easy to be there.” He said the full council “is doing the best job with what we have.”

The Buckley council races have Marvin Sundstrom paired against Bryan Howard and Milt Tremblay squaring off against Sandra Sundstrom.

Marvin Sundstrom, a frequent critic of Buckley’s administration and coun-cil, maintained his stance during Thursday’s debate.

“A lot of people are employed by this city who don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said at the outset. He also harped on the city’s use of paid con-sultants, claiming employ-ees should be competent to handle nearly anything thrown their way.

His opponent, Howard, spoke of a professional career highlighted by increasing responsibili-ties, along with a lifelong

history of involvement in the Buckley community, including service on the volunteer fire department.

Sandra Sundstrom cited her 20 years as a business owner and made it clear her primary reason for running is a belief that Buckley’s utility charges have gotten out of hand.

Tremblay said he’s run-ning to continue his com-mitment to community service and to put his pro-fessional skills into local practice. He was instru-mental in the building of White River High School and now oversees facili-ties for the University of Washington Tacoma. In the community, he has

coached various sports at a variety of levels.

The only contested Enumclaw School District race has Tina McGann and Dan Peterson vying for a vacant seat.

McGann pointed to her extensive involvement with the district, through the Black Diamond Elementary PTA and Enumclaw Schools Foundation.

“I know what the issues are,” she said, noting her three-year run of atten-dance at school board meet-ings. She cited her familiar-ity with the district budget as an asset.

Peterson told the audi-ence he has experience working on big projects for

Boeing and is savvy when it comes to current technol-ogy needs. Having retired, he said, he now has the time to get involved.

Both candidates praised the job done by the present school board in negotiating with YarrowBay, the devel-opment company attempt-ing to bring two housing developments to Black Diamond.

Asked about the most pressing issues facing the district, McGann cited a need for constant commu-nication between the dis-trict and the community. Peterson noted the need for transparency – “what’s the district doing with our money?”

million to $754,000.A major impact on the

2012 proposed budget is a property tax rollback stem-ming from the city’s annex-ation into the larger, local Fire District 28. In-town residents previously paid taxes to the city to support fire services but will now pay into District 28. City Council members were adamant that the city roll back its collections by 89 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value while, at the same time, the district

begins imposing its tax levy.

The proposed budget’s bottom line shows decreas-es in real estate excise tax collections, a drop in investment income, fewer dollars from building and planning permits and less in the way of utility con-sumption – all while sales tax revenues are expected to remain stagnant.

The budget will impact the city payroll is several ways, if the mayor’s propos-al is adopted by the council. Hit the hardest is the city library, where Reynolds has proposed elimination of the library director, a library

page and temporary help on Sundays. It’s proposed that library hours be reduced to 32 hours per week, includ-ing a Sunday closure.

The proposal comes at a time when the city is still looking at annexing into the King County Library System, a move that would require voter approval.

The mayor’s proposed budget is an early step in a process that will play out during the coming weeks. Council members will delve into budget specifics and there will be public hear-ings prior to adoption in December.

The Enumclaw Garden Club is sponsoring the sixth annual Make a Difference Day Saturday.

On Make A Difference Day, Enumclaw residents come together to improve Trailhead Park at Warner Street and state Route 410.

In the past, land has been cleared, shrubs, trees, grasses, flowers and ground cover have been planted and weeds are continually being removed. Additionally, a one-of-a-kind arbor has been constructed.

A master plan, designed by Maureen Courtney, is in place for the length of the trail and each year new trees will be planted and memorial benches will be positioned along the trail. Enumclaw has received a Blue Star Award for the trail.

Individuals and corporations are invited once again to bring work gloves and yard tools between 10 a.m. and noon to help improve the area. The group will meet at the park across the street at the Nazarene Church parking lot.

Refreshments will be provided.For information, contact Marilyn Nelson 360-825-4157.

Enumclaw Garden Club digging in to make a difference Saturday

Equestrian industry topic of meeting

By John LeggettStaff Writer

The Buckley City Council voted unani-mously to renew a contract with longtime waste collection agency, DM Disposal, adding a five-year extension to the provider’s contract.

Another item on the abbreviated Oct. 11 agenda had Buckley Fire Chief Alan Predmore requesting a fifth change order to the con-struction contract for Buckley’s replacement fire station, a request that was granted.

During the citizen participation segment of the meeting, council candidate and watch-dog Marvin Sundstrom asked if Councilman Randy Reed was being paid during his leave of absence from the council. The answer was affirmative.

During the Sept. 22 meeting, Reed’s request for a three-month leave was unani-mously approved. Reed requested the time

away for “personal reasons.” He is absent while facing a pair of felony charges stem-ming from allegations of sexual misconduct with a child.

Council members receive compensation of $250 per month, meaning Reed will col-lect $750 during his absence.

Mayor Pat Johnson said the council didn’t hesitate to give Reed the time away while still collecting his council stipend.

“Reed has been a hard-working member of this council for nearly 20 years and we wouldn’t have a youth center or a skate park in Buckley without his perseverance in rais-ing the funds to make those things possible,” Johnson said. “Based on his previous repu-tation and list of achievements, I guess the council didn’t deem it necessary to penalize Randy for taking some rare time off by mak-ing his leave of absence an unpaid one.”

Enumclaw in desperate need of sound leadership

In response to letters written on or for Enumclaw City Council Position No. 2, I would like to thank everyone that has ever ran or participated on the City Council. This is not the first time in the history of Enumclaw that we have had candidates and council-men that have had relationships out-side of their role in city government. Personally, I do not feel that two votes can block five. Also, I would like to point out that Mr. Elfers was not chal-lenged for his original seat on the City Council.

We can sit and debate all day long about relationships, but I support a candidate that has the background and integrity that will help our com-munity. Enumclaw is in desperate need of good sound leadership, which is why I support Darrel Dickson. Darrel has a love for our community that he has shown with his continued involvement with our town. This elec-tion day, I will be voting affirmatively for Darrel Dickson.

Endorses Elfers as acandidate of integrity

I have known Rich Elfers, candidate for Enumclaw City Council, for over 30 years, and could not agree more with the letter in the last paper written

by Anna Burt.Rich is definitely a man of integrity

and has served on City Council out of a concern for helping to make this community be the best it can be for his fellow citizens. He has always been eager to study, learn and apply the newly acquired knowledge, whether it was in his personal life, in his career as a teacher or as a city councilperson. You can be assured that when it comes to making decisions or setting poli-cies as a councilperson he will have researched and had all his questions answered prior to voting. And you can be assured that if you have ques-tions or concerns Rich will likewise find the answers for you.

For all of these reasons, Rich Elfers is the person I will be voting for with confidence in the upcoming election.

If you search for the truth, it will set you free

Christianity?If others write, I may respond. Lee,

I want to apologize to you for how Christians have hurt you. I have yet to find someone who is hardcore against

Christianity unless they have experi-enced hypocrite Christians, or a trag-edy in their life. Even devout Muslims will reason and discuss.

In the future, will the science now, be irrelevant? You said “what the ancients think is irrelevant.” In the late 19th century, the sick went to the barber to drain some of their blood. That is why the barber pole is red and white. Science now has caught up to what the Bible has always claimed: the life is in the blood. True science is observable and repeatable and does not change.

The stances that you wrote about appear to come from self-proclaimed experts that know one verse and twist it into a different meaning. That expert does not know the Bible, God nor that culture. For example, public prayer. Jesus often prayed in private and in public. Jesus gave thanks before feed-ing masses of people.

The culture then, as well as now, has plenty of hypocrites. Pharisees with their prayers, they say they are Christian but do not practice what Jesus said to do. Many just go to church, some say they were baptized

I am not sure if anyone besides me has noticed, but we are lucky and blessed here on the Plateau and the valley below when it comes to watching high school girls participate – and often excel – in sporting events.

It has been an exceedingly entertaining pasttime because the White River girls basketball team, the Bonney Lake fastpitch squad, the Enumclaw basketball and volleyball teams and the Sumner High girls soccer and volleyball contingents really have consistently been

terrific.We may not

have any semi-pro or professional women’s teams like the Dockside Dames (of hard-hitting roller derby renown) or the one-time world

champion Seattle Storm.Hasn’t it been at least a little bit fun though, to watch

some of the local high school girls sports teams kicking it during this early fall season in volleyball, cross coun-try, golf and soccer just to name a few?

In some of the girls’ sports, at least a few of the ones that I’ve been responsible for covering, there are teams that are still boasting untarnished accountings in league play.

The Bonney Lake volleyball squad for example is undefeated in the SPSL 3A, having lost only once in 13 encounters so far, with that one five set hiccup coming to Spanaway Lake, a non-league challenger.

Then there is White River’s volleyball six-pack, whose solitary setback of the 2011 campaign, thus far, came to the Interlake High Saints, also a nonleague opponent.

Now, this may shock some of you Courier-Herald readers, but I do love watching other sports besides football, basketball and baseball.

I stated a case to our editor to let me have the Sumner High girls soccer crew under my surveillance.

Dear College fresh-man,

I’m sorry to hear you couldn’t f ind employ-ment last summer. This isn’t unusual. As you’re surely aware, America is currently suffering through a rather severe recession and most of our students couldn’t f ind work during the summer months. Upon starting college, many of them, like yourself, turned to

their families for financial aid, only to discover that par-ents can offer little, if any, help in these difficult economic times.

In response to your application for a $30,000 loan from this institu-tion, I’m happy to inform you that your request has been approved. I clear-ly understand you may

need additional funds before the school year is complete.

I feel compelled to warn you, if the U. S. economy

doesn’t improved in the next few years, you’ ll probably require further loans. By the time you graduate, you may owe the government more than $150,000 – and that’s not counting the expense of spring breaks in Cancun or Padre Island – and you still might not be able to secure employment. That’s especially true in your case; there’s not a large demand for degrees in bull excrement spread-ing. The same might be said for degrees in fine art, sociology, psychol-ogy, history, philosophy or, indeed, any of the humanities or social sci-ences. If I were you, I’d seriously consider chang-ing my major to mathe-matics or one of the hard sciences, like physics or chemistry. There’s still a high demand for engi-neers. Especially soft-ware engineers.

Unfortunately, upon completing their bach-elor degrees, many of our graduates still can’t find employment, so they chose to continue their schooling for a master’s degree. This isn’t always a wise decision. Many, if not most, graduates

with a master’s still can’t find work, often times because they’re “over qualified.” They can’t even get jobs at check-out stands at Safeway or Target. Making matters worse, they’ve borrowed more money for graduate school and now owe in excess of $200,000.

Still unemployed, some students chose to con-tinue their education for a doctorate. If you’ll for-give my bluntness, this is rather stupid. The additional schooling will increase your debt to more than $250,000 and you still won’t be able to find a job because about the only thing you can do with a doctorate is teach in a college or uni-versity and, believe me, that market is f looded – unless, of course, you have a doctorate in math or physics.

You might give seri-ous thought to obtaining a college degree online, since that would be con-siderably less expensive. Of course, you’d miss out on the “total col-lege experience”; that is, the fraternities and sororit ies, the friend-ships, the coffee dates,

the beer busts, etc. In past years, the socia l aspects of campus life were felt to be as impor-tant as the academics, but today they seem to be a luxury that merely a l lows you to prolong a carefree, irresponsible adolescent life for a few extra years.

Not only is online schooling less expensive academically, but also from a subsistence point of view. That’s particu-larly true if you can live at home with your par-ents, preferably without paying room and board. Furthermore, when you graduate and can’t find work, you won’t have to move back in with your parents because you’d already be there.

Many young people have decided college is no longer worth pursu-ing because most degrees aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. You might give some thought to a career in panhan-dling.

Sincerely,Student LoansPodunk University


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.

To learn why consolidating your retirement accounts to Edward

Jones makes sense, call your local financial advisor today.

I will pray for you Lee. I will pray that you can look past the people who may be false Christians that cre-ated the anger, or that you can view any tragedy in a different light. If you look past the pain and search for the truth, the truth will set you free. And then you will be free indeed.

Willing to see what challenger can accomplish

I was appalled at the per-sonal attacks on the people running for City Council. Do we really want our city to have that type of reputa-tion?

We all have our tales of woe regarding battling the city for permits, permis-sion, growth, etc. Our city is presently distressed and we need someone who has the background to turn it around. I am not saying those in office contributed to the situation because I don’t have enough informa-tion. Just like you don’t have enough information to vote based on some of the snip-ing in our local paper.

Darrel Dickson ran a very informational, full-page ad giving his background and resumé and many reasons why we, as a city, are strug-gling financially. I was nosy enough to e-mail Darrel about the small paragraph that stated he’d violated eight city municipal codes. He replied with a personal phone call. When he pur-chased a surplus item from the city and moved it (the red trailer parked on his property at the comer of 410 and 384th) he, in fact, violated six codes. He was not aware that he needed a permit to move it nor did the city inform him of that when he parted with his money to finalize the deal. Those other two violations may be some-where in his background on a past development. I think if one knew where to find the information on where the city obtained the trailer, what they used it for, etc., that permits might

have been required and not obtained. It happens.

Nobody violates city codes intentionally. (Not in my world.) It’s a matter of communication and infor-mation. It was very readily taken care of once he was aware. In my eyes, it really doesn’t matter whether he is qualified to run for city council. I would rather his opponent use his time put-ting together an ad that explains what he does and why the figures are coming out the way they are on the city finances.

I am impressed that both are running very visible campaigns, an indication that both feel they have something to contribute. Our city isn’t as small as it was 50 or 60 years ago when the city fathers could use the Old Boys Network to do what they wanted. Our city requires educated, high-energy people whose backgrounds and educa-tion fit to make financial and growth decisions.

Our overall economy has contributed to some of Enumclaw’s problems, but definitely not all.

We’ve seen what our cur-rent council has done.

I’m willing to give my vote to Darrel to see what he can do.

Takes issue with ad for Buckley council candidate

In reading through the Oct. 12 edition of The Enumclaw Courier-Herald on Oct. 12, I came across a political ad that raised my eyebrows.

I have been a lifelong resident of the city of Buckley and a member of the Buckley Volunteer Fire Department for 27 years.

As a statement of record, the Buckley firefighters have never endorsed a can-didate that has chosen to run for any City Council position. It would seem to be self-serving in doing so, therefore unethical and a certain conflict of interest.

Bryan Howard’s ad states that he is endorsed by the Buckley firefighters and police. I will only speak for the Buckley firefighters, for which my passion lies deeply. While a certain few firefighters may endorse him on a personal level, the firefighters as a group do not endorse him. The state-ment that he is “endorsed by the firefighters” is easily construed to read that the body (firefighters) agreed to endorse a candidate.

This is not true. It appears that this candi-

date has already chosen his political path, I just want to inform the public that the Buckley firefighters are not following.

Bill BoyleBuckley

Dickson’s business experience could assist council

Editor’s note: the fol-lowing refers to a letter (“Councilman gives boost to Elfers”) printed in the Oct. 12 edition.

I have a question about the intent of this endorse-ment. Is Rich Elfers being endorsed based only on the fact that he is a hard-work-ing and dedicated person? Although that is a good thing, that is something that we should expect out of all of our elected officials. I think it’s OK for us to ask for more than just that.

In this declining econo-my we can all agree on one thing, and that is, there are money woes out there. Our nation, our state, our cities and towns, and our friends and families are struggling to make ends meet. Inflation

is going up, our pay is going down, and there’s a need to raise taxes to cover what is being spent. I believe our government officials need to have more of a business sense, a business education and business experience. (A positive business experi-ence.) We need people to sacrifice their time away from their successful busi-nesses to help fix some of the money problems that have been created in our communities. These are the type of people that have the education, background and experience in dealing with money.

My father told me many years ago that good busi-ness people stay in business

and make money and those that can’t make it in busi-ness go into politics and make poor decisions like they did in business. I don’t believe this to be true in all situations, but we can defi-nitely see this type of situ-ation in our history. As I said earlier, we need experi-enced, good businessman to sacrifice some of their time to help fix the problems we all have to face in our com-munities. If we vote people into office based on being a nice guy, or just hard-work-ing and dedicated, and not on whether they have the experience and education to help fix the financial problems that we have, we will only face bigger prob-

lems in the future.I have heard Darrel

Dickson speak passionately about the community of Enumclaw and its finan-cial problems. I don’t think he has all of the answers. I don’t think anybody has all the answers. But I do think he can help. Over 20 years of successful business experience and an educa-tional background dealing with finances makes him a good candidate for helping us figure it out. We need to vote people into public offices that can do good for us. Voting people in that do not have the education or work experience in that

McGann has the qualities needed by school board

I am writing today to commend the efforts of Tina McGann, who is running for Enumclaw School Board position 4.

I have known Tina for sev-eral years, since our children were in preschool together. Ever since the beginning of our relationship, I have known without a doubt that Tina always puts children first. She is committed, pas-sionate, professional, kind, caring, empathetic and the list can go on and on.

For my family there is no one else that I would be more comfortable represent-ing us than her. I can say that without a doubt she stands with integrity and dignity

and treats others that way as well. She is more than quali-fied. She has been attend-ing school board meetings for more than three years. She has been on the Black Diamond PTA board for sev-eral years with the last two as our president and helped with and led parts of the full-day kindergarten program with the Enumclaw Schools Foundation. She has rallied our community with her generous, kind and authen-tic spirit with many events and supporting the school bonds and levies we’ve need-ed to pass. The company that she and her husband own, McGann Electric, helped sponsor the community event for Rachel’s Challenge last month. Their commit-ment to our community, our families, our children is truly amazing. I know that she honors the needs of my child and your child as much as she honors and demands for her own children.

I am asking you to consid-er voting for Tina McGann. We need her voice to rep-resent us on the Enumclaw School Board. She is running for the right reasons. She will

not let us down. She will con-tinue acting with dignity and integrity while representing all of us, most importantly representing our children.

Students thank community for all its support

White River High School’s 2011 Homecoming was one of the most profound events the Buckley commu-nity has seen in a long time. The combined effort among the students, administra-tion and staff allowed this short week in October to be more than just your average Homecoming. It all started with the spirit week creating an atmosphere buzzing with excitement for the upcoming weekend. Students sporting crazy outfits topped with genuine smiles were seen walking down the hallways. Nominations were submit-ted for Homecoming roy-alty and soon a ballot was produced. When the process was finally said and done, White River was more than

proud to announce their first autistic Homecoming king.

The start of the 2011 school year has already marked a change in White River’s culture. Our school theme, “The Hornet Way,” consists of acceptance, pride and appreciation. These are now the core values exhib-ited every day in the life of a Hornet. Homecoming has proved that this year will be one of the most spir-ited, positive and involved years, and we are only in the second month! The stu-dents of White River are proud of the magnitude of support not only from our administration, but from within our community. The Homecoming game was overflowing with supportive locals, there to cheer on our boys. The charged energy added another win to our undefeated league record.

White River is proud of everyone and would like to thank all for making Homecoming such a mem-orable and heartwarming experience.

Elfers has been effective voice on Enumclaw council

I am writing to express my support for the re-election of Rich Elfers for Enumclaw City Council Position 2.

As president of the Mount Rainier Business Alliance I have had the pleasure of working closely with Rich Elfers regarding the vari-ous issues affecting the business community here

in Enumclaw. When the MRIBA started Rich was one of the first council members to reach out and ask a simple question of our group. That question was “How can I help?” Over the past three years Rich, more than any-one else, would consistently stop into my business seek-ing input from the MRIBA on various issues that were before the City Council. He never came in trying to sell me his point of view. He sim-ply wanted to learn how his votes would impact both the business community and the citizens of Enumclaw.

I appreciate his desire to fully understand an issue before jumping one way or another based on who was the loudest person in the room. I want to take a moment to point out just a couple of things Rich has done that warrant my sup-port for a second term:

As a fiscal conservative I very much appreciate Rich’s focus on making sure the city is financially sound. His role as chairman of the Finance Committee has been used to make sure that our city stays within its bud-get without losing the core services we have come to expect of our town. There are very real budget issues facing the city of Enumclaw and I want someone who is going to strike a balance between the money available and the quality of life liv-ing in Enumclaw provides. I know that Rich is that type

of person.Rich also serves on the

Expo Committee. His ten-ure there has been one of total dedication to seeing the Expo Center get in the black. Prior to joining the com-mittee the Expo Center was burning through money like a house on fire. His work, along with Mayor Reynolds and Kristen Damazio, has closed an annual operating loss from several hundred thousand dollars to what looks like around $30,000 in just 18 months. Just look at the fiasco of our federal government to gain some perspective on how difficult this is to accomplish in the public sector.

I could write about several other specifics but you get the picture.

In closing I strongly believe Rich Elfers deserves a sec-ond term. The work he does isn’t glamorous and doesn’t garner amazing headlines. It is the steady work of a dedicated public servant that has chosen to use the extra time of his retirement to try and make a difference in the lives of you and me. None of these people are paid more than a token stipend. The job is often thankless and done while the rest of us enjoy our football, popcorn and fami-lies. For these reasons I think it would be a tragedy to “fire” a man after all he has done to protect your tax money and quality of life in Enumclaw.

As the weather turns cool it is time to remem-ber that fall is for plant-ing. The cooler days mean plants will spread out underground with a better root system so a perennial, shrub or tree planted into the ground now will have a better start in the spring and more top growth by mid-summer. This makes autumn a good time of year to soften the edges with hedges.

As new homes offer smaller yards and privacy becomes an issue in some neighborhoods, questions about screening and hedg-ing have been popping up like October mushrooms in the lawn. (It’s best to just ignore the mush-rooms; they’ll go away.)

Q. I need an ever-green hedge

that will grow tall but not too wide. Also, the area only gets a half-day of sun. What do you think of English laurel?

A. Not much. English lau-

rel not only grows into a high-maintenance mon-ster but a cold winter can kill it back almost to the ground. A better choice would be the pyramida-lis arborvitae or upright yew plants, as both do well in the shade. If you have deer, grow with the deer proof yew. Add some color to the evergreen foliage by planting a purple clematis on the north or shaded side

of your hedge and let this f lowering vine embroi-der the evergreens with summer f lowers. Purple clematis like Jackmanii and Polish Spirit are the hardiest of the f lowering clematis.

Q. I have tried growing a box-

wood hedge around my garden beds but some of the boxwood plants always seem to turn yellow and die. What do you suggest for a low, evergreen hedge instead of boxwood? I should note my husband likes to trim things.

A. In our climate boxwood can

suffer from leaf blights, root rots and also has the distinctive smell of cat urine. A much less expen-sive alternative is to plant the low-growing or creep-ing evergreen euonymus fortunei and just keep it trimmed into a low hedge with a string trimmer. Emerald Gold and Emerald Gaiety euonymus not only do well in our climate but spread out quickly so you need only a few plants spaced several feet apart to create a solid, ever-

green hedge in just one or two years. Another option for a taller hedge is to use Japanese holly (Ilex crenata) which looks just like box-wood but with a darker green color and more robust

growth. You can even get dwarf Japanese holly plants for smaller gardens. You can shear all of these evergreens several times a year or let them grow into more natural hedge shapes.

Q. I want instant screening from

the neighbor’s patio but our tiny back yard has no room for a wide hedge. What plant grows tall very fast but needs a bed only a foot wide?

A. Better go with a “fedge” or com-

bination fence and hedge. A few panels of fencing will give you instant gratification and a tall and narrow juniper or cypress plant on either side of the fence panels will make your screen-ing appear more friendly. Just look for evergreens that say “columnaris” if you want a natural-ly columnar form that won’t require any prun-ing. You can also dress up your fence panels with a dwarf clematis or annual vines like black-eyed Susan, rochochiten or even sweet peas. Do

not make the mistake of planting wisteria, ivy or a fast-growing clematis like clematis Montana on your fence in your small yard. The growing enthusiasm of these fast vines need large estates or gigantic dead trees to cover.

Tuesday of each month

With the exception of an ill-advised decision to drive around the high school track when I was 16 and a few random speeding tickets, I’m fortunate to have had very few scrapes with the law. Yes, the track thing was here in Enumclaw and led to a scrape with the law and with my father. There is probably an archived police blotter some-where with my name on it.

One time after getting my first speeding ticket I was so bothered that my perfect record was now going to be stained and ruined forever I decided to contest it. I knew I was guilty…for sure I was guilty. However, I was hoping and praying that somehow I could have the ticket dismissed and not be imputed against me. In order to contest it I had to say I was not guilty, but I was. So I chose to go to a court-appointed mediator to plead my case and humbly ask for mercy. Oh, how naïve.

The mediator appointed to my case seemed nice enough, but I could sense that they had heard every excuse in the book, so I decided to make no excus-es…I was guilty. I was just there for mercy…for a clean slate. The mediator calmly explained to me that since I admitted my guilt, the best they could do for me was to lower my ticket to $25, but it would still be on my record. Apparently this court-appointed mediator did not have the authority to override my confession of guilt with a record of innocence. Booo….

We know through scripture

and indeed by our own con-science that all of us have faults and sin and that we all fall short of the glory or the high standard of God required to be holy and righteous. No matter how hard we try, we all sin and we all fail. I’m amazed at my many failures. I could never string together enough good years or even days to be seen as righteous or to justify myself before the Great Judge. But God…who is rich in mercy, because of his great love for us has saved us by his grace through faith in Jesus Christ. He has bestowed on all believers the free gift of righteousness and salvation, not because we earned it, but because Jesus paid the full penalty for us by shedding his blood on Calvary and dying for our sins and faults. He even bore our guilt and the shame that comes with sin. When he rose from the dead he forever con-quered death and sin. Now we who put our faith in him are for-

ever justified before God. Christ has become our righteousness and we have peace with God the father!

In 1 Timothy 2:5 the Apostle Paul writes that there is only one mediator between God and man and that is Jesus Christ. But Jesus is a better mediator, supe-rior in every way to any you may have experienced. He stands before the father and instead of negotiating a lighter penalty or reduced sentence, he takes our admissions of guilt and forever absolves us from this guilt and frees us forever from judgment. He provides the father with the proper documents…the word, signed in his blood that for-ever washes away our guilt and allows us to stand justified, holy and righteous before God. We come to him guilty and he pres-ents us blameless, because that is what love does! Love keeps no record of wrongdoing.

When we sin it is like a scrape

with the law. Without God’s grace we would never measure up and we would have to pay the penalty ourselves for our sins. Some fear that the message of God’s amazing grace will be viewed as a license to sin. Not even close. God’s grace is not so we can continue in sin, but so we can continue in righteousness. It is the way he reveals his great love to us. When you know how much God loves you…how com-pletely he loves you, you will fall head over heels in love with him. You will never be separated from God’s love.

God’s love keeps no record of wrongdoingChurchCorner

What’s the best time to identify a potential health problem? Long before symptoms start! That’s why pre-ventive health screenings with your primary care physician are critical to long-term health.

With screenings, providers can identify individuals who are at risk for common problems like high blood pressure or high cholesterol but who have no symptoms in the early stag-es. This is the point in time for the greatest opportunity to manage the problem so it doesn’t result in serious, sometimes devastating, health consequences.

Learning that you may have a problem – especially early on – does not automatically relegate you to a life-time of pills as some people fear. A disease like high blood pressure can contribute to the development of kidney failure and heart disease, including heart failure.

Identify health risk before the symptoms hit

The chillier days bring more than cool air, colorful foliage and long sleeves. They also mark the beginning of cold and flu season.

The common cold leads to 75 million to 100 million physician visits annu-ally, reports The American Journal of Medicine. Five to 20 percent of Americans are infected with the flu virus each year and about 200,000 are hospitalized due to complications from the flu, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Even more disconcerting: more than 3,000 Americans die from flu-related causes each year.

It’s important to make sure a cold or the flu doesn’t inhibit day-to-day activities by using good hygiene hab-its. “Maintaining your health and the health of your family can be difficult when we find ourselves in crowded office buildings or schools each day,” said Dr. Allison Aiello. “However, by implementing simple hygiene prac-tices, one can reduce the risk of catching a cold or the flu during this season.”

To help stay healthy during cold and flu season, Aiello offers five steps:

Wash your hands The CDC says keeping hands clean through improved

hand hygiene is one of the most important steps you can

But, a lot can be done with a patient’s lifestyle and diet to help reduce the likeli-hood of a bad outcome. In fact, appropriate changes in lifestyle or diet alone can elimi-nate the problem altogether.

So, why do people skip health screen-ings? A common reason is they don’t feel ill and are unaware that something may be wrong. Ironically, this underscores the importance of being screened before it’s too late. Making health screenings part of a regular visit to your primary care pro-vider is one way to stay on track and help ensure good health.

The types of screenings you need will depend on your gender, prior health issues, age and family history. Talk with your doctor. Together, the two of you can decide which tests are important for you and your well-being.

Health screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and osteoporosis will be provided free at the Plateau Health and Wellness Expo Saturday. The event, co-sponsored by St. Elizabeth Hospital and the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation, will be from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at Enumclaw High School commons and gymnasium.

Shelly Pricco is a registered nurse and director of patient care services at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw, which is part of the Franciscan Health System.

take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Be sure to wash your hands after sneezing, coughing and using the restroom. Washing hands after arriving to work, school and home also helps prevent the spread of germs to colleagues, friends and loved ones. Remember, proper handwashing should take as long as 20 seconds and include warm water and soap. Alcohol-based hand sanitizer gel or lotion is a great way to prevent sickness.

Sanitize, sanitize, sanitize

The common cold and the flu can be spread by hands. This means that you can transfer these illnesses not only to others, but to surfaces as well. People touch 300 dif-ferent surfaces every 30 min-utes. Some viruses and bacte-ria can live up to eight hours or longer on items like door-

knobs, phones and tables. You can prevent the spread and impact of germs by wiping down surfaces with a disin-fectant wipe each day.

Get vaccinated Flu outbreaks can happen

as early as October or as late as May. The CDC recom-mends getting vaccinated as early as September or as soon as the most updated vaccine becomes available. The seasonal flu vaccine pro-tects against three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common dur-ing the upcoming season. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for an adult to develop antibodies against the flu which will support you through the flu season.

Cover your mouth Cold and flu germs can

spread from person to per-son by coughing and sneez-ing. Covering your mouth when coughing and sneez-ing is a necessary deterrent against the spread of germs. While most people believe coughing or sneezing into a

hand is sanitary, few realize that germs are spread quick-ly this way. Instead cough or sneeze into one arm, firmly pressing your nose or mouth against your sleeve.

Stay home Recent reports state nearly

22 million school days are lost each year due to the common cold and 75 mil-lion work days are expect-ed to be missed during flu season. When you are sick, take a sick day and allow your child to stay home if he or she is not feeling well. After a person is infected with the flu, symptoms usu-ally appear within two to four days and are considered contagious for an addition-al three or more days after symptoms appear. Anyone in close proximity to a cold or flu infection may become infected because these infec-tions can also be spread directly by aerosols. Staying home when sick will not only help avoid spreading illness to others, but allow time for you or your child to recuperate and recover.

COLD/FLU FROM 14Health and Wellness Expo Saturday at Enumclaw High

The 20th annual Plateau Health and Wellness Expo will be under way from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Saturday at the Enumclaw High School commons and gymnasium.

Formerly known as the Senior Expo, the event is now an all-age event with educa-tional offerings for everyone.

For adults, free health screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, osteo-porosis and heal scans are just a few of the items that will be provided by Enumclaw Medical Center staff. Other services will include cardiac risk assessment, flu shots (limited supply), emergency preparedness kits, massage and reflexology demonstra-tions, financial health resources, estate planning, senior resources and more.

Highlights for the main stage include Original Recipe band, square dancers, and the Enumclaw Fire Department talking about smoke alarm safety.

For children, events will feature the Reptile Man and Eric Ode. Other chil-dren’s activities include a bicycle rodeo (children should bring their own bikes and helmets), bike and car seat safety, a bounce house, free crafts, plus vendors featuring ways to keep kids active and healthy.

Dear Families,

November 13 – 19 is Focus on Education week in the state of Washington. On November 15, the Enumclaw School District will be off ering a bus tour visiting three diff erent schools across the K-12 spectrum. Th e sched-ule for this tour is below.

Classrooms around Enumclaw School District are showing signs of increased technology! Enumclaw Middle School teacher Th er-ese Nowlin has a fully outfi tted SMART classroom including a state-of-the-art ultra-short throw projector, mixed reality document camera, student response sys-tem, and a new laptop computer that ties everything together. Th ese tools provide our teachers with additional resources to

help students understand and learn diffi cult concepts. Th e response system, for ex-ample, allows our teachers to assess student’s understanding of the current topic and address learning needs quickly and eff ectively. SMART boards, document cameras, and mixed reality tools provide more resources to help students learn.Th e Enumclaw School Board was recently given a demonstration of how this equip-ment is used to support student learning. Afterwards, school board president Chris VanHoof said, “It was great to experience the SMART classroom. Ms. Nowlin has endless amounts of information at her fi ngertips and can share it interactively with her entire class by just a touch. Th is technology will only enhance the education our students receive each day!” In preparation for a full scale de-ployment of SMART equipment, one classroom at each elementary school, both middle schools and two classrooms at the high school have been fully upgraded. Work to upgrade the classrooms throughout the school district is progressing. Currently the power upgrades at Byron Kibler Elementary, Enumclaw Middle School, and Black Dia-mond Elementary have been completed. Th under Mountain Middle School and Sunrise Elementary are currently in progress and the remaining schools will be completed early next year. Once the power upgrades are complete, the schools will be ready for the equipment installations!

Students Take Up Rachel’s Challenge

EHS Drama Presents: Dracula

Superintendent Gains Insights from Students

We are Enumclaw; we are ready for the challenge!

‘We exist to inspire, equip and empower every person to cre-ate a permanent positive cul-ture change in their school.’ Th e mission statement for Rachel’s Challenge has begun to stick within the walls of Enumclaw High School. A few weeks ago Nasha Snipes came to our school to represent the Rachel’s Challenge program in an assembly. Th e ‘inspire’ part of the mission statement has defi nitely reached out to many students at the high school as they lined up to sign the posters to accept the challenge.

Staff and students still questioned each other if any-body would actually follow through with this initia-tive; and the answer was yes. Th e ‘FOR’ club which is a committee to keep the acts of kindness continuing in our school has already had their fi rst meeting with quite the turnout of students fi lling up a section of the stands in gym.

‘FOR club’ member Jr. Condon says, “I like the way things are going, if it keeps up, we have a good shot of reaching our goal of having a safe, welcoming school environment.”

As a member as well I can say that Jr. is right that we are taking the steps needed to reach our goals of a safe learning environment to all students.

Th is Challenge that was extended to us is more than just creating an environ-ment of a positive culture change but also having random acts of kindness. As members of our student body we need to remember to encourage one another to continue acts of random kindness. On March 6th the community of Enum-claw will be having a rally which is centered on a two-mile long paper chain. Th e chain is created by acts of kindness fi lled out on the sheets of paper (found in the activities offi ce). But it can’t just be those business owners or adults in the community that make the goal of the two-mile chain get achieved. We will need the help of as many students as possible from our very own EHS. So let’s not hesitate to take the time to fi ll those out and work together to accomplish this. Are you up for the challenge? Written By: Tyson Shepard

Maybe it is because I am not a true student of the game of soccer, but when people ask me if I like soccer, my usual response probably parrots the answer given by most main-stream sports enthusiasts: “I

would like the sport of soc-cer more if there were more scccoooooring. I like to be entertained and a 1-0 triumph by our Sounders FC is so dang boooorrring that it gets me a-snnooooring.”

It is human nature I sup-pose, dating back to when the Roman citizens witnessed the

bloody carnage provided by the gladiator slaves or were spell-bound by watching the speeding chariots as they raced around the dirt track of the coliseum floor.

I have had the pleasure of watching the Spartan ladies lighting up opposing goalies on numerous occasions through

the years, as there has usually been scoring aplenty. During the 2011 campaign, the purple clad kickers of Spartanville are 10-0 in SPSL 2A action and it looks as though the playoffs may be awaiting once more.

Sumner is currently aver-aging five goals per encoun-ter and surrendering a paltry

average of one tally per tilt.The only thing that bothers

me a little bit about Sumner’s soccer corps is the dreaded tease factor.

In the past half decade, the Sparts have mowed down the competition on SPSL 3A and 2A battlefields, but then, when they’ve reached the second

season…not so much. They always seem to smash the Ferrari into a stone wall when some one-hit-wonder mean-ders onto the playoff stage like it did last year.

But that’s just it! I was at that very meeting on that cold and rainy afternoon last November in Sunset Chev Stadium, when the Wolves of Sehome scored that fateful goal in the last minutes, that sunk Sumner’s post season aspirations.

I saw the tears streaming down the cheeks of espe-cially the seniors, who had to face the cold, stark reality that this had been their last, best chance at gleaning the coveted class 2A girls soccer state championship.

The true treat for me though is taking in the high school volleyball matches, in which the ultimate reward for the epic individual ath-letic endeavors is the better-ment of the squad. Witness the downtrodden Enumclaw team, which received the unwelcome news recently that natural-born volley-baller HayleeMae Dennis was lost for at least the regu-lar season to an ankle injury she sustained while chasing after a stray ball hit into the hazardous stands.

Despite the loss of their best player and one of only two seniors, they were not deterred in the journey toward the postseason and I for one found that to be a most admirable and com-mendable team trait.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that their coach is Jackie Carel, who has soldiered on as the volleyball boss at EHS for a quarter of a century and as a result has encountered and dealt with nearly every possible vol-leyball variable.

I hate to bring up anything about boys sports in a col-umn that has delved mostly into girls sports, but I won’t have any editorial voice for a while, so here I go.

This is a shoutout to any-one who has anything to do with chipping in their two cents on the 3A football polls. Do you think that with Halloween rapidly approach-ing, those pumpkin-headed Lancers of Lakes High (they of the orange helmets) could possibly sit atop of the heap for just one week?

In their past two encoun-ters, those lusty Lancers have wrapped duct tape around the jaws of Decatur’s Gators backhanding them 61-0, and most recently hosted a pret-ty good Enumclaw Hornet squad and took a flame-thrower to the Hornet’s nest, annihilating them 69-0.

That is the type of domi-nation in the SPSL 3A nation that deserves a No. 1 rank-ing.

White River School District organizers say Rachel’s Challenge is a program everyone should experience.

Rachel Scott was the first person killed at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999. Her acts of kindness and compassion coupled with the contents of her six diaries have become the foundation for one of the most life-changing school programs in America. Powerful video/audio footage of Rachel’s life and the Columbine tragedy holds students spellbound during a one-hour school pre-sentation that motivates them to positive change in the way they treat others.

Thursday, White River High School will host its fourth year of the program with three assemblies and a student training. That evening there will be a student-led par-ent/community event starting at 6:30 in the high school theater. Leaders are encouraging parents and community members to attend and experience what students will have seen during the day.

“There’s no way to describe it,” Enumclaw’s Marilyn Hash recalls as she talks about the pain she experi-enced during a bout with shingles.

“There’s very little relief from the pain.”

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a disease that causes a pain-ful skin rash. In addition, shingles can lead to severe pain that can last for months or even years after the rash goes away, a condition known as post-herpetic neuralgia.

Pain from shingles has been described as excruciating, aching, burning, stabbing and shock-like. It has been compared to the pain of childbirth or kidney stones.

The pain from shingles can cause depression, anxiety, difficulty con-centrating, loss of appetite and weight loss. Shingles can interfere with activ-ities of daily living like dressing, bath-ing, eating, cooking, shopping and traveling.

Every year in America, 1 million Americans develop shingles – a pain-ful viral infection caused by a reacti-vation of the same virus that causes chickenpox. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that’s one out of three people in America who will develop shingles during their lifetime.

Hash was sure she had shingles from the onset. The pain, she said, was there, but it wasn’t until the blis-ters showed up she knew it was full blown.

But, Hash is thankful she has not had post-shingle nerve pain.

“I did not get the continuous pain, but there’s a lot of people who do,” she said.

It is estimated up to one in five people with shingles, or up to about 200,000 Americans, will experience continued pain after shingles, a condi-tion caused by damage to the nerves.

Unfortunately, the risk of develop-ing post-shingles nerve pain increases with age – especially in adults 55 and older. Most of it because this popula-tion is simply too busy for post-shin-gles nerve pain.

That’s what Dr. Gordon Irving, anethesthelogist and pain manage-ment expert with Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center, plans to discuss with audience members at 11:45 a.m. Tuesday at the Enumclaw Senior Activity Center.

“Most adults, baby boomers, had chicken pox as a child,” Irving said. The virus, Irving explained, lays dor-mant in the body and later returns.

“Often as you get older it resurfaces.”In fact, according to educational

information provided by Merck, 98 percent of adults in the United States have been infected with the chicken-pox virus and are at risk for shingles and the risk rises with age.

Irving zeros in on post-shingle nerve pain, which he said, many peo-ple don’t tell their doctor about and “just live with it.”

Post-shingles nerve pain affects everyone’s community and the 55 and older population is especially at risk for developing post-shingles nerve pain.

But it is not just adults 55 and older that are at risk. Ninety percent of adults in the United States are at risk for develop-ing shingles – if you’ve had chickenpox, you are at risk later in life.

Post-shingles nerve pain can dis-rupt sleep, mood, work and activities of daily life. Given that adults 55 and older can experience a variety of other health conditions, understanding treatment options for post-shingles nerve pain can be challenging.

Irving said it doesn’t have to be that way.

Among the doctor’s topics, he will discuss new medication that he said does not have side effects.

Getting vaccinated can also help. The CDC recommends those who are 60 years or older to ask their doctor about the shingles vaccine.

LifeWavesThe Enumclaw Courier-Herald www.courierherald.com Wednesday, October 19, 2011

I am not sure if you remember, but in September we had a week of glorious sunny days. We even sat outside on our patio and reveled in it.

At the beginning of the next week back came the rain. I came home from teaching a class and shocked when I walked into our home. It was dark! Not gray, but dark.

Immediately I opened all the blinds and turned on all the lights because I hate being in a dark house. Then I

started thinking.We are going to

have a lot of gray and dark days from now on and there have to be ways to deal with it, other than turn-ing on all the lights. I came up with a few suggestions you

might try to brighten up your home.1. Calendars – we have a calendar by our computer

and in the kitchen with pictures my brother has taken. Monthly we get a new dose of color to brighten those spots.

2. Candles – our daughters gave us a blue transparent candle holder. We have it on the coffee table and burn votive lights in it in the evening. If you do not want to burn candles, you can purchase little battery operated votive lights and use them.

3. Tablecloths – do you remember tablecloths and table runners? I do, but I bet I have not used any in a couple of years. Why don’t we dig out an old cloth and put it on our kitchen or dining room table? We have friends who use tablecloths year round and it always makes their home look welcoming.

4. Place mats – we have a lot of old place mats. Some have nature scenes on them, some are solid color, others patterned. We even have a few old Sesame Street place mats we bought when our youngest was 4. Yes, they brighten up our dinner table and even provide a few laughs. Spaghetti with Big Bird and Cookie Monster is fun.

5. Flowers – What about some flowers on your kitchen or coffee table? Why not a couple of cute tiny pumpkins our local fruit stands sell now? You do not even need fresh flowers because artificial ones are so good today. I have a tiny bunch of rosebuds I found years ago that add color to an end table.

6. Windsock/flag – it might be a bit late to do this, but years ago we put a flag pole outside our window. We fly our American flag some of the time, but also rotate through a series of brightly colored windsocks we have collected over the years. They look great, even when flying in the rain on a gloomy day.

7. Shirts – I realize that the socially appropriate clothing colors in the Northwest are black, white and gray. Years ago I declared war on this and like to wear colors. Some of you are not that brave. However, there is nothing wrong with wearing something brightly colored at home where no one will know. I have sweatshirts in bright blue, red and purple that make me feel good to wear.

It may be gray outside, but not inside.OK, you say, but all of this is going to cost money. Have

you heard of Goodwill, thrift stores and garage sales? There is a bonanza of goodies out there waiting for you. You do not have to take all the suggestions, just try a few. Or even better, come up with some of your own – and let me know your ideas.

Seniors, step out and chase away the gray in our fall and winter days. Add some light to your life.

Brighten a gray day with color

White River High’s cross country showdown with the Sumner Spartans pro-duced a nail-biter in the girls ranks, with the visi-tors escaping Buckley with a 26-29 victory.

The meet, run on the White River campus, didn’t offer nearly the dramatics on the boys side, where the tough Hornets dashed to a 19-39 win.

The closely-contested girls race featured White River’s Lauryn Wate claim-ing first-place honors with a time of 19 minutes, 16 seconds. Kelly Coyle was fourth overall with a time of 21:44 and Christina Ramous was fifth at 22:10, followed by Katie Simmons in ninth place, 23:12, and Kalynn Gulin in 10th, 23:23.

The always-tough Hornet boys had the usual two-some of Marcus Dickson and Kody Gould claiming the top spots, Dickson tak-ing first at 15:47 and Gould second at 16:54. Others contributing to the team score were Kyle Smith in fourth place, 17:09, Chris Fisher in fifth, 17:11, and Wes Fueston in seventh, 17:36.

With the regular sea-son in their past, all South Puget Sound League 2A runners will head to Saturday’s subdistrict meet at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood. Advancing to the Oct. 29 district compe-tition will be the top eight teams and top 40 individu-als in both the boys and girls competition.

Wate tops running field in WRHS loss

WRHS Cross Country


The White River volleyball squad is still on fire as it pushed its perfect South Puget Sound League 2A record to 8-0 last week, sweep-ing Washington 25-18, 25-16 and 25-22 and then prevailing over visiting Steilacoom 28-26, 25-16, 23-25 and 25-12.

At Washington, Dannie Stroud recorded 12 kills and Haley Valalla had 10. Alisha Bidwell also performed admirably, accruing a half dozen kills on 10 attempts.

Two days later, when Steilacoom darkened the Hornets’ door, White River coach Stryder Argo called the Sentinels’ play top notch, while criticizing the serve-receive displayed by his girls.

“Steilacoom played well, especially in the first set, and in that same first set we had nine serve-receive errors, which nearly ended up costing us the set,” Argo said.

“I made a dramatic change in our rotations late in that first set, because we were down,” Argo said. “That same rotation worked well for

Erica Bonthuis returned to the Hornets’ div-ing lineup and made a big splash at the 11-dive competition Saturday at Lakes High.

The Enumclaw High senior qualified for state competition with a score of 329.20. Teammate Nikki Wilson was not far behind with 297.70 points, which qualified her for the district meet scheduled for Nov. 4 and 5 at Hazen High.

Bonthuis and Wilson also finished 1-2 dur-

ing the Hornets’ 142-44 victory over Timberline Oct. 18 and in the Hornets 110-76 victory over Auburn Mountainview Thursday.

Against Timberline, the Hornets picked up a first-place finish from its 200-yard medley relay of Bailey Sexton, Bella Davenport and Katie and Allie Larrea. The B-team relay of Cassie Cook, Carly Hinman, Lori Lamm and Mackenzie Bull placed second.

Carlie Cairnes and Jamie Ritzdorf finished 1-2

in the 200 freestyle with Annie Birklid in fifth.It was a sweep in the 200 individual medley

with Davenport, Sexton and Bull taking the top three spots, respectively.

Allie Larrea won the 50 freestyle with team-mate Erin Wessel a close second. Cassie Cook was fourth.

The Hornets swept the 100 butterfly with Katie Larrea leading the way and Lamm and Hinman following in second and third.

Weiman leads Lady Hornetsto slim victory


Both the Enumclaw High girls and boys teams rolled to easy victories over Decatur during Oct. 12 cross country action.

The South Puget Sound League 3A meet was staged at Celebration Park, the Gators’ home course.

The Hornet girls raced to a 20-35 win. Decatur grabbed the first-place finish, but after that it was all EHS on the leader board. Chandler Weiman claimed second place with a time of 20 minutes, 9 seconds, and Taryn Schreiner was third overall at 20:34. Rounding out the Hornet scoring were Peyton Vick, fourth, 21:05, Lindsay Ross, fifth, 21:11, and Riley Desmul, sixth, 21:48.

In the boys race, coach Jeff Jacobsen held out his two top competitors, Cory Johnson and Alec Rhome, so he could give other runners a look as he prepares the team for postseason competition. Still, the Hornets managed a convincing 19-43 triumph.

EHS’s Peter Berger was the first one across the line, finishing in 17:45, and Josh Sanders was third in 18:03.

With the regular season in their past, all SPSL 3A runners will head to Saturday’s subdistrict meet at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood.

Franklin Pierce trips up Hornets to tie for league leadBy Kevin Hanson

Editor

White River dug itself too deep a hole Friday, giving up a 21-point first quarter to Franklin Pierce High in a crucial South Puget Sound League 2A football showdown.

The Hornets entered the home-field contest with a 4-0 league mark, holding onto first place,

while the Cardinals lurked just a game behind in the standings. Now deadlocked at 4-1, Franklin Pierce holds the edge should the teams finish the campaign with identical marks.

This Friday has White River taking on 2-3 Clover Park while Franklin Pierce battles 1-4

Fife. The Oct. 28 season finale pits White River against last-place Sumner and Franklin Pierce against district rival Washington.

The loss to the Cardinals can be chalked up to some early mistakes, including dropped passes and a backfield turnover. Franklin Pierce was more than happy to take full advantage, find-

Four White River High golfers were on the course at press time, fighting to advance for a spot in the spring state tournament.

Ryne Peterson, Trever Anderson, Tanner Sherstobitoff and Ryan Kolisch were scheduled to play Tuesday for a chance

at state. The top seven golf-ers go directly to state while the next nine advance to the West Central District’s spring playoff tournament.

Zahn Brooks and Tanner Williams missed the cut.

The Hornets closed out the season tied for second overall in the league with Franklin Pierce. The Cardinals edged the Hornets at the SPSL 2A

medalist tournament 118-113. Sumner won the tour-nament with 143 points.

On the girls side, Caitlyn Miller shot 102 and is tied for seventh in the hunt for a spot at the ladies spring state tournament. Sutton Mills and Ashlea Mills were also still in the running and scheduled to continue play Tuesday.

Enumclaw High’s volleyball squad split on the week in its pair of SPSL 3A outings, as it first hosted Decatur, dominating the Gators 25-11, 25-19 and 25-10 and then traveled to Auburn Mountainview’s facility at midweek and lost to the Lions 25-22, 25-18 and 25-17.

With HayleeMae Dennis still on the shelf with an inju-ry the team didn’t have the firepower to get past Auburn Mountainview, said Enumclaw coach Jackie Carel, whose squad slipped to 4-3 in league play.

Dennis’ ankle is recovering satisfactorily. “We feel like it is a realistic expectation that she is going

to be ready to go again by the postseason,” Carel said. It was crazy eights against the Gators as the Hornets

stung them early and often. Julia Myers went on a spree with eight kills, while middle hitter Danielle Saltarelli sent eight service aces over the net and junior defensive specialist Olivia Bannerot recorded eight digs.

The Hornets struggled when they journeyed to Auburn Mountainview and fell to 7-4 overall on the season, despite Enumclaw’s only active senior, Molly Colyer, notching seven kills.

With crucial league contests remaining against Lakes, Peninsula and Bonney Lake, Carel knows her team will be in for a battle.

“These girls know that they are going to have to show up for these next couple of games in a big way. Lakes is very athletic and Peninsula always gives us fits,” Carel said. “These girls are well aware of the fact that nothing is ever going to be easy for them, but the good news is that they are always up for the challenge.”

Enumclaw made the trip to Lakes Tuesday and host Peninsula Thursday.

Last week was a double suc-cess story for the Enumclaw High soccer squad, which rang up South Puget Sound League 3A victories over Peninsula and Lakes.

The wins improved the Hornets’ record to 4-2 in league play and 5-6-1 over-all. The league mark was good to land EHS in a three-way tie for second place, along with Bonney Lake and Decatur.

While Thursday’s 3-1 road triumph over Peninsula was of the shootout variety the Oct. 11 outcome over Lakes was far less dramatic, as

EHS easily rolled to a 9-0 win. Cayla Dahl scored three goals during the lopsided vic-tory and Katie Christensen had two, while single goals were delivered by Haley Johnson, Monica Whitfield and Hannah Dahlquist. The Seahawks also were guilty of an “own goal.”

The Hornets take on league-leading Auburn Mountainview Thursday.

The White River Hornets kept pace in the South

Puget Sound League 2A soccer standings Thursday night with a convincing 3-1 victory over Steilacoom High.

White River wasted little time jumping on top, tak-ing a 1-0 lead in the third minute of play when Ashley Powell scored off a Cassidy France assist. France built the lead with a tally at 13 minutes and Powell added her second goal, again off a France assist, shortly before intermission.

The Sentinels’ only goal came late in the game.

The victory pushed the Hornets’ record to 4-2 in

SPSL 2A play – good for a second-place tie with Eatonville – and 5-3 over-all.

White River had sched-uled a nonleague contest against Hazen High Oct. 11 and suffered its worst loss of the season, falling 5-0 to the Highlanders.

This week is crucial to shaping the final league standings, as White River hosted first-place Fife Tuesday and travels to Eatonville Thursday.

Stroud went wild in the Steilacoom match, account-ing for 23 kills, but the injury bug bit Valalla. Results were expected Monday and Argo is hoping Valalla will be able to play by districts.

It will not get easier as the Hornets take their show on the road to Franklin Pierce tonight, Wednesday.

The Enumclaw High boys water polo team wrapped up a busy week of play with a 4-3 record at the Tualatin Hills Best of the Northwest Invitational Tournament in Beaverton, Ore.

The Hornets began the week’s play Oct. 18 with a 17-11 league win over Kentridge.

Enumclaw scored first with Bennon VanHoof’s goal 11 seconds into the game. Kentridge tied the game two minutes later and took a 2-1 lead with 1 minute, 26 seconds left in the open-ing quarter. VanHoof tied the game with one minute left. The Hornets ran away in the second quarter, maintain-ing their stingy defense and scoring eight goals on offense to take a 10-4 advantage into halftime.

The two teams played even through the second half with the Hornets maintaining a six-point lead for the win.

VanHoof led all scorers 10 points. Gabe Sales and Will Cooper each added two goals and Thomas Petersen, Carson Lanphere and Brandon Butler

each scored a goal.On defense, the Hornets tallied 38

steals led by VanHoof’s 10 and fresh-man goalkeeper Austin Kaehn’s seven. Kaehn also gathered 15 saves.

Thursday, Enumclaw lost to league rival Auburn Mountainview 10-9 in overtime.

The Lions got off to a 2-0 lead in the first quarter and stretched it to 4-0 in the second period until Mason Culp put the Hornets on the scoreboard with a goal with six seconds left in the first half.

Enumclaw outscored the visitors in the next two quarters to close the gap and Petersen scored the tying goal on a power play with 2:31 remaining.

In the first overtime, Mountainview scored on a power play in the sec-ond minute of the overtime period. VanHoof responded with the tying goal 14 seconds later. Brady Gardner scored with 24 seconds left in the first overtime for a 9-8 Mountainview lead.

VanHoof tied the game at 9 in the first minute of the second overtime,

but the Lions scored the winning goal with 29 seconds left in the second overtime.

At the Best of the Northwest Friday, the Hornets opened with a 12-4 loss to Lakeridge and a 15-0 loss to Southridge, but redeemed themselves with four wins Saturday – 13-6 over Tualatin, 7-6 over South Eugene, 11-8 over Reynolds and a second 7-1 win over Tualatin.

Sunday, the Hornets finished com-petition with an 8-7 overtime loss to Beaverton. It was the Hornets’ third overtime game in four days. VanHoof scored 27 goals in the three-day tournament and Petersen added nine. Cooper scored six, Butler scored three, Riley Sexton and Culp each added two and Bryce VanHoof and Lanphere scored a goal each.

“We were thrilled with the way the guys played through this tourna-ment,” coach Bob Averill said. “They got some wins against some very tough teams, and are better prepared for our state tournament.”

EHS, 4-4 in league play and 11-11 overall, continue league play Thursday, hosting Stadium at 8:30 p.m.

ing the end zone three times during the game’s initial eight minutes.

The Cards kept the ball on the ground to score a pair of first-quarter touchdowns and then, just 27 seconds after rolling to a 13-0 advan-tage, struck for a third TD. A White River fumble was scooped up and returned 40 yards for another touch-down and, following a two-point conversion, the visit-

ing Cards were on top 21-0.White River answered

quickly with a score of its own when Zach McMillen hooked up with Garrett Quiles for an 11-yard scoring toss. The extra-point kick was blocked and, staring at a 15-point deficit, the Hornets would get no closer.

The ground-happy Cardinals added a rushing touchdown to take a 27-6 lead into halftime, then added two more in the second half.

White River managed a pair of rushing TDs of its own, with Josh Miller scor-

ing f rom 11 yards out in the third quarter and Devin Liebel tacking on a 6-yard TD in the final frame.

The Hornets finished with 320 of offense, running the ball 37 times for 177 yards. The Hornets added another 143 through the air, but three interceptions hurt the cause.

Franklin Pierce ball carri-ers averaged nearly 10 yards per attempt, finishing with 26 carries for 255 yards. The Cards added 118 pass-ing yards to finish with 373 yards of offense.

FOOTBALL FROM 24

Lady Hornets tied for second place


Enumclaw High visited Harry Lang Stadium Friday to tangle with the highly tout-ed 7-0 Lakes football squad and, when the dust merci-fully cleared, the Lancers had coasted to huge 69-0 victory.

EHS should not feel all alone in its misery, as the Lancers pulverized Decatur 61-0 a

week earlier and had outscored its previous six challengers by an average of 55-7.

Lakes wasted little time creating a comfortable advan-tage for itself as it had bolted out to a 56-0 upper hand by intermission, putting up points at a rapid clip on long touchdown air strikes of 95, 73, 56 and 46 yards.

In the second half Lakes morphed from a high-flying pitch and catch act to a dev-astating rushing attack.

The Lancers shifted down a couple of gears and went into their clock-burning ground game, behind 6-foot, 10-inch offensive tackle Zack Banner. Try as it might to pull back on the reins of its relentless point-scoring tank, Lakes scored yet again

when fleet-footed tailback Levonte Littlejohn busted loose on a 56-yard overland jaunt to pay dirt.

The Lancers added an extra point kick from Bo Wittig, who split the uprights a perfect 9-out-of-9 times for an evening’s toil and addi-tionally legged through a tandem of field goals in the fourth stanza.

EHS fell to an overall

mark of 1-6. Plateau SPSL 3A brag-

ging rights will be on the line Friday when offensive-minded Bonney Lake, which has been averaging 40 points per contest, invades Pete’s Pool at 7 p.m.

With the crowd rallying behind them, the seventh-grade Junior Hornets picked

In the fourth quarter, down 50-45 with 1 minute, 26 seconds left on the clock, the Hornets’ Kidder McKee and Jakob Treece drove the team down the field. McKee threw a buzzer-beating touchdown pass to Jacob Revell for the win.

The day wasn’t as great for the Hornets’ other teams.

Despite touchdowns from Tommy Baxter and Jackson McCann, the fourth-grade team lost 13-12.
