Medical marijuana coming to the Plateau

By Ray Still Reporter

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

And coming this summer, The Green Door and Mr. Bills of Buckley will both be expanding their businesses to include stocking and selling 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 medical marijuana endorsement from the Liquor and Cannabis Board, and will start selling medical marijuana on July 1, 2016, when the final rules of the Cannabis Patient Protection Act come into effect.

What is medical marijuana?

Although the term medical 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 recreational marijuana.

“The only difference between medical and recreational marijuana is the intent of the user,” said Kristi Weeks, a policy counselor 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 psychoactive 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

Nonprofits appeal to council for funds

Enumclaw sales tax to rise in spring, supports road improvements Enumclaw voters have agreed to bump the local tax rate in exchange for guaranteed 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 quarter, 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 additional tax equates to an additional 10 cents for every $100 spent – or a dollar for every $1,000 in purchases. The additional tax

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 medical claims, stores with medical marijuana endorsements are allowed to advertise the fact that they have a medical endorsement and that

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 accepted, rejected or altered was left up the members of the Enumclaw City Council – as are all items in the municipal document of anticipated revenues and expenditures.

This time around – when considering a 2016 spending plan – the council opted against taking financial requests. Rather, representatives 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 violence Reporter

Not 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 cont ac t i ng 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 lessness.”

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 assaulted with a knife.

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

Martinez said the incident happened outside of Black Diamond’s jurisdiction but with the help of the King County Sheriff ’s Office, the offender was located and taken into custody.

MARIJUANA FROM 1 they sell marijuana to medical patients, not that they sell medical marijuana, said Weeks.

While medical claims about marijuana are being avoided, the Department of Health will be identifying 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 tested, and have safe-handling, accurately labeled, things like that.”

Conditions and rules for medically-beneficial marijuana 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 medicallybeneficial for patients if it is tested for pesticides, heavy metals and mycotoxin. There

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 • THE COURIER-HERALD • Page 3 are also additional rules concerning 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 listening to patient and industry feedback. But mostly the rules have been really well received.”

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

Patient benefits

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

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

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 benefits, Weeks said.

One benefit is not paying 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 purchase 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 arrested for possessing or growing marijuana in excess of nonpatients.

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

Medical marijuanaendorsed stores can choose to donate marijuana to medical marijuana patients free of charge.

“If a patient is in the database, 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 something 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, transdermal patches, and suppositories.”

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 marijuana 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 without paying sales tax.”

Bonney Lake advances to 3A’s Elite Eight Sumner bounced from football playoffs by Bishop Blanchet

By Sarah Brenden Reporter

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 possession. 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 racers hit The Strip at 200 mph 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 deceleration. Both mile-per-hour and elapsed time (in seconds) are displayed on the scoreboard, but only elapsed time determines 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 everywhere else it’s a friendly environment.”

The local team’s first pass down the Vegas track went well, clocking the quarter-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 qualifying, 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 getting too much fuel and the fire went out.”

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

“Overall, the weekend was a huge success,” Meeks said. “We ran with the hottest 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.”

State 2A tourney brings end to volleyball season

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

The 2A volleyball tournament – which brought together the top 16 teams in the state – was contested 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 eliminated by a Tumwater squad that wound up with a fifthplace 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 championship, 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.

On November 6, 2015, the Jordan Binion Project held its first annual fundraising event, which was a great success.

FOOTBALL FROM 4 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 twopoint 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 intercepted 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 quarterfinals.

On 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 season with the SPSL 3A league title, an undefeated 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 touchdown pass to cut Sumner’s lead to seven.

Both teams at times had trouble with turnovers in the third quarter.

Sumner’s Jose Mascareno snagged two interceptions in the second half, but offensively 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.

Grant will boost local lacrosse 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 introductory 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, copresident 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.

TPP can greatly affect Washington

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 asking constituents for their opinion of the proposed deal spelled out in roughly 6,000 mind-numbing Jerry Cornfield, pages made public Columnist 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 themselves. Everything in the agreement will be available 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 companies 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

Have you ever been asked “Gotcha!” questions in a public forum? This is what happened to Republican presidential candidates 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 presidency to a young, tanned and handsome 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 watchdog – to guard the nation’s values from corrupt politicians and government workers who would hide their actions from the public.

Without a strong press, well-functioning 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 incisive investigative articles on

In Focus Richard Elfers Columnist

State Auditor Troy Kelley and Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist’s office are two examples 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 luence public opinion and, at the same time, to shape the candidates’ 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 comments. By the media asking probing questions, they inf luence public 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, rather 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 opportunities with the media in mind.

This creates the problem that personal appearance can trump experience, 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.

were in Washington.

And of those, the fastest rise occurred in Larsen’s, which is home to the Boeing Co. plant in Everett.

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

ELFERS FROM 8 Press coverage of Supreme Court decisions has definitely affected Chief Justice Roberts’ rulings over “Obamacare.”

Roberts altered 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 liberal media bias one of their campaign “talking points,” they also do not

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.”

The a g r e e m e nt is between the U.S. and these countries: Au s t r a 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 barriers and boost business for farmers, manufacturers, sof tware f irms and aerospace suppliers 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 corporations from moving jobs out of the U.S. nor ensure the signing nations match this country’s worker and environmental protection rules.

T he 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 pretty good following in Larsen’s district and are

spreading the word about the upcoming meetings.

An estimated 100 people politely gave the congressman an earful in Anacortes Tuesday.

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

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

As a retired political 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 political left.

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

inf luence public perceptions and often set the political agenda. Our job as citizens and voters 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.

Consider circumstances and give thanks Church Corner

CARD OF THANKS The family of Richard Willner would like to express their gratitude to the many that have mourned his passing and celebrated his life. We are grateful for the kindness, love and support shown by so many.

We extend a special thanks to Hope Lutheran Church of Enumclaw for the wonderful service and reception. Also, a special thanks to East Pierce Fire and Rescue for your assistance and caring.

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 hypocritical?” We build our case for unthankfulness 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 dissatisfaction, start normalizing the practice of thankfulness, and you’ll experience a similar impact…only to the positive. Thankfulness frames our per-

I just want to thank everyone for supporting our family through a time of loss of my husband Ty Robison.

I cannot express enough how much it meant to our family and the love, support, help and prayers that you provided us with. Thank you for the prayers, flowers, cards and help getting things ready for the service or reception. A special thank you to The Summit Church and Pastor Ross, Olson’s Meats and Buds and Blooms for the beautiful flowers. May God bless all of you and your families.

With much love and a very thankful heart, The Robison family

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 happiness 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.

Michael Whitaker, age 58, of Buckley, WA, passed

away on November 2, 2015 surrounded by his family and close friends. Michael leaves behind his loving wife, children, family and more friends than he could count. In his short time, Michael touched so many with his smile, laughter, sense of humor, stories and poetry in ways that will never be forgotten. A memorial service was held Saturday, November 7th, 2015 at the Enumclaw Expo Center.

Michael was born September 27, 1957, and raised in Burnett, WA. As a 1976 graduate of White River High School in Buckley, Michael was well known as a class leader, athlete and great friend. Michael excelled at football and was a state champion and record holder in the 4x100 relay. After graduation, Michael began his 40 year career in construction with Clements General Construction. As a long time superintendent, Michael’s strong work ethic, integrity and high standards of quality and safety made a lasting impression on all who came to know him.

Michael was also an accomplished cowboy poet and published author. He is a recipient of the Will Rogers Silver Spur Award for Group/Duo of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists, and several times a nominee for the Western Music Association’s Poet of the Year. Michael’s first book, “The Gathering” is a collection of his poetry inspired by the people and places that touched his life. As a member of the group Rockin’ HW, Michael performed throughout the Northwest with his pards Alan Halvorson, Morry Walter and Ramon Selby.

Michael is survived by his wife, Patti, his children Courtney Conant (Corey), Nick (Teal), and Will; Patti’s daughters Jessica Tjoelker (Klayton) and Kayla Speers (Kyle); granddaughter Hazel Mae Conant, sisters Judy Twardoski (Mike) and Linda Bolsinger (Bob); the mother of his children Judy Whitaker; and many nieces and nephews. Michael is preceded in death by his son Matthew, parents William and Frances, and first wife Vickie (Strecker).

The family has created a scholarship fund through White River High School.

Donations can be made to the Michael Whitaker Creative Writing Scholarship Fund, c/o WR Community Scholarships, P.O. Box 609, Buckley, WA 98321.

Michael’s second book of cowboy poetry is near completion with an expected 2016 release. Contributions may also be made at any Columbia Bank to help with the publishing expenses.

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 himself were “blessed to have the opportunity to help this victim and it was the efforts of two communities coming together to help somebody in need.”

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

off the streets, the officers worked to locate domestic violence shelters 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 situation to them.

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

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 passengers 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 disorderly, 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 disappointment that officers did not cite the driver for reckless driving, but no charges have been filed.

Based on the information received from the public, the phone calls have been from individuals attempting to scam the public for money.

T he Wa sh i ng ton State Patrol Troopers Association is one of many police unions or associations contacting the public soliciting donations. The telemarketing company used by the association does not employ hard sell tactics nor will they ask for credit card numbers or personal financial information 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 asking for credit card numbers or personal financial information over the phone. If you suspect it is scam, hang up and contact one of the local state patrol district offices.

Charges increased in murder of missing mother Reporter

On Nov. 4, Pierce C ou nt y Prosec utor Mark Lindquist charged Jonathan Daniel Harris, 29, with first degree murder 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.

“If we take care of people 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 community,” added Britt Nelson, POM executive director.

She explained that Plateau Outreach Ministries has expanded its role and now 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 estimated $250,000 per year. All collections are mandated solely for road improvements.

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.

Mount Rainier announces guidelines for winter visitors

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 during 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 360569-2275 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 sufficient 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 scheduled to begin Dec. 23 and run through March 27, 2016.

The walks will be offered on weekends and holiday periods 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 (layers), 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 conditions require a temporary closure. The higher elevation gate, located on the road between Longmire and Paradise,

Enumclaw resident Cave celebrates 103 years A celebration for Rena Cave, who celebrated 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 computer operator. She later married Fred

Cave, who died in 1971.

Following retirement, she became active in AARP and eventually became the organization’s Washington state director, traveling Rena Cave throughout the country and addressing problems facing the elderly.

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

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

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

DROWSY FROM 9 we are working longer hours just to keep a roof over our heads. More and more adults also suffer from undiagnosed disorders 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 combination. On Washington’s roads, there were at least 10 deaths and 77 serious injuries in 2013 that were directly linked to a driver 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 statistics of drowsy driving

Executive Constantine proposed in September and said, “Your plan is the best that I’ve seen. It has bold interim and bold final targets, and it proposes policies that would move the county powerfully in the right direction.”

“Climate change threatens our health, economy, environment—our entire future,” said Constantine.

“This ambitious, comprehensive 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 partnership with 13 cities in King County.

The plan outlines commitments and actions that will: • Double transit ridership 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-

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 graduate, 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 survived. She spent years in recovery.

Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving. 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.

For me, it because I think teen Gretchen Leigh was better to have her at depression is one of the Columnist school in a foul mood scariest emotional states than be at home, not for a parent to deal with, getting anything done but I know it’s not about because she was in a foul mood, then watch me. it snowball with missed school work.

However, something I’ve said or done When the kids got home from school, may trigger an icy mood. Like the Sunmy youngest had a headache she claims was day after Halloween, during my youngest caused by dehydration, which it partly may daughter’s candy-induced sugar crash, have been, but I’m sure sugar withdrawal when I told her that yes, she had to go to also contributed. I had a nice, healthy dinschool on Monday. She felt overwhelmed ner ready for them and she was in a better because we’d torn apart a corner of her mood at the table. I asked about her icy room after her friends left on Sunday mood that morning and she told me she morning from their Halloween party. She had hoped I’d bring it up and let her stay was unable to mentally deal with the room, plus she had homework to finish for a Mon- home.

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

Someone had to be the voice of reason

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 off 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 accomplish 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 often to see the transformation; not just in the room, but also in my daughter. 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. That was the giggle of a girl who felt like she was finally settled and in control with full ownership of her space.

Superintendent’s Message Dear friends, How many of you remember the movie, “Back to the Future II” that was released in 1989? In the movie they made a lot of predictions about the future; specifically by the date October 21, 2015. Below are just a few examples from the movie.

Things the film got right: Flat Screen TV Video conference technology Biometric identification Things the film got wrong: Hover board Self-lacing shoes Changes in technology have exponentially 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. This was the time of year for report cards and conferences. This is when both my parents and I knew the progress I was making in school.

The classes meet at Southwood Elementary at 6:30 p.m. for returning families and 6:00 p.m. for new participants.

Free child care is offered for registered families with checkin 15 minutes prior to class start. To register or ask questions, please call Sheila at 360.802.7125. Parents may also register online at www.readyforkindergarten.org.

Attendance Lunch account information Current grades/missing assignment Discipline

In addition to Family Access, each teacher has a Swift website where they post information about their class schedules and homework assignments.

In Appreciation Retired custodian and current substitute in our district, Marilyn Shoenhofen, wanted to show her appreciation to our amazing sub dispatcher and Human Relations secretary, Annette Vranizan, who works tirelessly to fill sub positions in our district daily. Marilyn arrived at Annette’s office with a beautiful, handmade quilt recently.

Thanks to Marilyn for honoring Annette! We appreciate the incredible, hardworking staff across the district and are grateful when that work is acknowledged in special ways.

FFA Students Meet Congressman Reichert 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 influential agriculturalists. This event also met the students’ government visitation assignment. What a wonderful opportunity for our students!

EMS News Enumclaw Middle School Leadership Students: Serving the Community Karl Karkainen, Leadership instructor at Enumclaw Middle School, reports that his students have been busy this month.

The students assisted with preparations for the Sunrise backpack program which provides meals for our students over the weekend. They also visited High Point Village to honor the Veterans there with a presentation. It was great to see they presented to a full house!

Thanks to Mr. Karkainen and Above, left to right: his students for their excellent Jace VanWieringen, Olivia Brown, Hayle Kiblinger and Ethan Blechschmidt service in our community!

Thunder Mountain Middle School and Enumclaw Middle School fall music concerts

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 first 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...

Living Voices Visit Thunder Mountain 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 Revolutionary War. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to see history come alive! We are grateful to the King County Library System and Mrs. Leggett for offering this learning experience to our students!

City Receives State and Federal Award for Fennel Creek Trail

O

1446566

n 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. 
