Black Diamond City Council power struggle continues

A year has passed since the Bonney Lake community witnessed one of the most tragic events in city history.

On April 13, 2015, the Ellis family was driving under state Route 410 on Angeline Road when a concrete barrier fell off the overpass, killing Josh, Vanessa and eight-month old Hudson instantly.

The barrier fell while construction crews were working to widen the overpass for pedestrians.

Since that day, many events were set in motion, including the removal of subcontractors from the project, filing a wrongful

death suit for the remaining members of the Ellis family and fining several of the companies involved in the project.

The city has tentatively planned to announce the project’s completion during the May 10 council meeting.

Removing subcontractors

After the Ellis’ deaths on April 13, work on the SR 410 overpass project stopped for the remainder of the month in order to allow police to investigate.

Council attempts to fire city attorney, questions city’s legal status to pay bills before council approval

By Ana Karen Perez Guzman and Ray Still Chaos reigned at the April 7 Black Diamond City Council meeting.

Within minutes of Mayor Carol Benson bringing down the gavel, the council descended into confusion over the correct agenda for the meeting.

Councilwoman Pat Pepper introduced a resolution to switch the night’s agenda with one approved by herself

as council president and Mayor Pro Tempore Erika Morgan, citing section 2.2 of the new council rules and procedures passed during the Jan. 21, 2016 meeting.

After the resolution was read, Benson said the revised agenda was not received by the city until almost 11 p.m. the night before. Council members Janie Edelman and Tamie Deady also said

Friendship House manager guilty of second degree theft Sentenced to 60 days community service and work release

By Dennis Box

Editor

The Courier Herald is published and delivered to the Plateau weekly, and updated online daily! courierherald.com

Jamie M. Casteel, the former manager of the Friendship House located in Enumclaw, was found guilty of second degree theft in King County Superior Court March 31.

The Friendship House is a home for developmentally disabled adults. The four male adults living in the residence own the home.

Casteel was also sentenced to 60 days of confinement with 30 days, or 240 hours, of the confinement converted to community restitution and the other 30 in work/education release.

She is to have no contact with the Friendship House, including the staff or residents. The document also stated Casteel, “agrees not to seek or maintain any employment in (the) home health care field.”

Casteel was initially charged with first-degree theft and arraigned Oct. 1,

2015. She was represented

by Maple Valley attorney Abraham Ritter.

The probable cause document stated Casteel, “wrongfully deprived Friendship House itself of money (property) by depositing business monies into her own personal bank account(s). It can also be shown that Casteel wrongfully deprived all four Friendship House clients of money (property) by depositing their personal money (property) from the house Mortgage Account into her own personal account.”

According to the court documents the four men’s names are on the mortgage agreement along with house bills and utility statements. The parents or legal guardians make up the Friendship House Board of Directors.

The theft was reported by the staff to the Enumclaw Police Department June 4, 2015.

According to the court documents after the

staff contacted the police department, Enumclaw detectives investigated the four account ledgers and received a search warrant for Casteel’s personal bank account. The investigation revealed Casteel had written checks to herself from the client’s accounts and either deposited them into her U.S. Bank account or cashed them at the bank.

Casteel voluntarily came into the department for an interview with the detective. In the court document the detective wrote Casteel “admitted to taking money from Friendship House.

Casteel admitted to writing checks to herself and depositing them into her personal account. Casteel did not offer a reason as to why she did this other than she was living beyond her means at the time and found she had easy access to Friendship House money.”

SR 410/SR 165’s ‘malfunction junction’ to receive makeover

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

For years, the city of Buckley has hoped to rid itself of the aptly-named “malfunction junction,” the jumbled conf luence of two state highways and a pair of busy city roads.

Now, it appears a solution is at hand. More importantly, it looks like there’s money available to turn Buckley’s dream to reality.

Members of the City Council voted April 12 to award a construction bid for what is known in city circles as the SR 410/ SR 165/Ryan Road/112th Street East Realignment Project.

Phase I of the project was built in 2011 and aligned Ryan Road with 112th Street East, crossing SR 165. It was seen as a temporary measure and is in line to be modified.

Phase II, which could begin as early as May and is expected to be completed by November, adds new sections of pavement and wipes away others. When finished, the project will: • realign SR 165, bending it slightly west to create a “T” intersection at SR 410. A traditional red-yellow-green traffic light will be added where the highways meet, just west of where 410 curves.

• realign River Avenue so it connects to Ryan Road at a “T” intersection.

In addition, the project would improve the intersection of SR 165 and 112th/Ryan Road, including additional street lighting; add pedestrian improvements along SR 165 between Ryan Road and SR 410; and realign a portion of the Foothills Trail to allow users to more safely cross SR 165.

Dollars and cents

Original estimates had pegged the contractor bids to come in at about $1.5 million,

but the numbers received were noticeably higher. Bids from nine companies were opened April 7 and the best offer was forwarded by Johansen Excavation; the Buckley firm submitted a bid of slightly more than $1.8 million.

That was 22 percent, or about $333,000, more than anticipated. The City Council opted to move forward.

The math behind the project begins with a total expected cost of $2.4 million. That includes the contractor bid, design engineering and construction engineering.

On the revenue side of

the equation, the city has received federal funding, passed through the state’s Department of Transportation, in the amount of $1.6 million; another $600,000 was obtained in the form of a grant from the state’s Transportation Improvement Board. Recently, the TIB authorized a bit more money to come Buckley’s way.

The funding shortfall – identified as a bit less than $170,000 – will have to be picked up by the city. The municipal Street Capital Account has a current balance of a little more than $700,000, which would more than cover the cost.

Del’s in Buckley closes ahead of lease end-date South Sound Critter Care sees increase in injured animals

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Hoping to land a new tenant as soon as possible, members of the Buckley City Council have authorized city administration to negotiate the termination of a longterm lease with Del’s Farm and Feed.

T he Delawa re-based Tractor Supply Co., the owner of Del’s, has shuttered its operation on River Avenue in conjunction with

the opening of a new Tractor Supply store in Enumclaw.

The rustic building that housed Del’s is owned by the city.

At issue during the council’s April 12 meeting was whether Buckley wanted to play hardball with the national chain. Council members decided it was in everyone’s best interest to part ways in as friendly a manner as possible.

After rumors surfaced that Tractor Supply Co. planned

to close the Del’s store in Buckley, City Administrator Dave Schmidt tracked down a TSC representative who confirmed the closure. The doors were opened for a final day of business April 15 and the building is to be cleaned and vacated by May 15.

That left, on the table, an issue of money and an existing contract. According to an agreement inked by the city and Tractor Supply Co.,

The city directed WHH Nisqually to resume work on the project May 4, 2015. In the same letter, “the city formally demands that Staton Companies, Hamilton

demolition of the north barrier wall of the overpass.

The demolition plan, which was prepared by Staton Companies and Hamilton Construction/ American Concrete Cutters, called for the barrier wall to be first cut vertically into several sections approximately 8 to 10 feet long, each weighing between 3,000 to 4,000 pounds each.

The wall was then to be cut horizontally at the base, separating each section of the barrier from the overpass one at a time. An excavator would then remove each section from the wall, and the process would repeat until all sections were removed.

Instead, Marney said Hamilton Construction/ American Concrete Cutting performed the horizontal cuts first and were going to follow up with the horizontal cuts when the barrier fell.

Johnson said in an interview on April 5 that the subcontractors were removed because they caused the deaths of the Ellis family.

“There is no way I could have those subcontractors out there after what they did,” Johnson said.

Business manager Ken Maddox with Hamilton Construction/American Concrete Cutting declined to comment on Johnson’s opinion.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS

NATURAL GAS SAFETY REMINDERS Please remember all gas customers are responsible for gas line maintenance of piping past the meter. This includes all piping after the gas meter servicing the business, residence and/or additional buildings associated with each property. This maintenance requirement is in reference to the Code of Federal Regulation Title 49, Part 192, which includes the following: 1) If piping is not maintained, it may be subject to the potential hazards of corrosion and leakage.

2) Buried gas piping should be: a. Periodically inspected for corrosion if piping is metallic. b. Repaired if any unsafe condition is discovered. c. When excavating near buried pipe, must be located in advance.

3) The operator, plumbing contractors, and heating contractors can assist in locating, inspecting, and repairing the customer’s buried piping.

If you smell natural gas please notify City of Enumclaw at 360 825-5541. After hours call Police Dispatch at 360 825-3505.

A lot of these lines are plastic and can be cut with a shovel. Remember before you dig call toll-free 1800 424-5555 or 811.

Natural Gas Safety In The Event Of An Earthquake

“It was a sad incident... there’s no way we can make amends for that,” Maddox said in a phone interview April 18.

Staton Companies did not return the Courier-Herald’s request for comment.

Wrongful death suit settled

On August 27, 2015, a wrongful death suit was filed by Zach Brown, brother to Vanessa Ellis, and Diane Hess, Vanessa’s mother, in the Pierce County Superior Court.

The suit alleged companies WHH Nisqually, Highmark, Staton Companies and Hamilton Construction/American Concrete Cutting for their involvement with the wrongful death of the Ellis family.

The suit also brought allegations against the city of Bonney Lake and McGee Engineering.

The suit sought to collect damages for Hess, who claims she was financially dependent on the Ellis’ when they were killed.

Prosecution?

Fires and explosions are often more damaging than the earthquake itself. Fire statistics from previous earthquakes and others in the United States over the past four decades indicate gas related fires contribute 20% to 50% of all earthquake related fires.

City of Enumclaw gas utility recommends you shut off your gas immediately after an earthquake if you smell gas. If you are at work or away when an earthquake hits, then you may not be able to get home in time. An earthquake valve will take care of this instantly for you.

An Earthquake valve or seismic valve is an automatic way to shut off the gas supply to your home or business in the event of an earthquake. These are applicable not only to your Enumclaw supplied gas but propane (LPG) as well. These devices should be installed by a licensed contractor and can cost between $300 and $500 per meter which should include parts and labor.

With the use of these shut off valves, and their subsequent prevention of after earthquake fires, the fire dept. can better use their personnel in the rescue efforts that are sure to follow.

If you have any questions contact Ed Hawthorne (Gas Utility Manager) (360) 615-5787.

The barrier that fell on the Ellis’ truck was supposed to be cut vertically into sections between 8 and 10 feet long, then horizontally at the base of the sections. Instead, the horizontal cuts were made first, which is why nearly the whole barrier fell onto the road below. Photo provided by East Pierce Fire and Rescue

Pierce County’s Public Information Coordinator Heather Songer said after the Ellis’ death the prosecutor’s office may make a decision to prosecute in six months, sometime in October or November, but the Pierce County Prosecutor’s office has not yet made a public decision whether to prosecute any of the parties involved in the SR 410 overpass project.

“There are a few things we are still actively looking into,” Songer wrote in an April 11 email.

Question of the Week Have the presidential debates helped you decide on a candidate?

I

By Bill Kombol Guest Columnist

s politics meant to divide people? Does economics brings us together?

Every four years a presidential election rolls around with impassioned voters swearing allegiance to their candidate of choice as the nations’ only hope. Salvation is said to rest with said aspirant. Equally fervent counterclaims foretell an impoverished country and destroyed institutions. Rival supporters devolve into tribes – two teams of competing color, mascot, with fevered fans chanting slogans. Campaigns are staged pep rallies, filled with carefully tailored promises to entice a few undecideds.

Most voters are irrelevant to the outcome, living in red or blue states, where the electoral outcome is settled before the campaign begins. Only a handful of undecided in a few purple states have any real influence on the results. And, those afflicted few are hammered by television advertising focused primarily on the evil doings of the other. Politics remains a game of carefully accumulating a winning combination of compatible interest groups stitched together to form an electoral majority. Election Day arrives and produces a winning team. The elected enact laws calculated to reward their supporters, with a matched zest for punishing their opponents. Losers seek solace by painting a sour picture of the nation’s future.

There are only winners and losers, and to the victors go the spoils.

Economics is the daily means by which people obtain goods and services through a system of mutually beneficial transactions. Each consumer purchase is that day’s vote – the economic voice used to craft the world. Say you want a loaf of bread. You could assemble the ingredients and obtain the know-how to bake a loaf; or simply visit the local baker who’s saved you time and trouble by baking hundreds for you and your neighbors. Or perhaps you’d enjoy a slice of cheese to accompany that bread. You could certainly buy a cow, culture the milk, add coagulant, stir the curds, separate the whey, then salt and age the cheese. But, the dairy farmer and his co-op already manufacture varieties of safe, delicious, and affordable cheese favored by your palette. The baker provides fresh bread while the farmer produces aged cheese. They are better off for having done so. You’re better off from avoided labor and newfound convenience. Each party gets exactly what they want at a mutually agreeable price.

And each dollar is voted in a fully recognized exchange.

Everyone’s a winner.

This cornucopia of life’s goods is inviting, but how to obtain the required currency. The entrepreneurially sort might raise the cow or build the brick oven then obtain fields of grass and grain allowing her enterprise to prosper. Another less inclined to risk-taking might hone skills and offer labor at a wage that suits her competence. If the community is stagnant perhaps she’ll travel to a market town where her abilities are prized. In either case, diverse parties come together economically to further their respective needs. Through commerce people intermix then commingle in millions of large and small transactions. Each bargains for what they want. Each finds goods or jobs at suitable prices and wages. Every day you

LAST WEEK: Have you filed your tax forms with the IRS?

Wednesday, April 20, 2016 • www.courierherald.com

Letters New fire department leadership deserves support I wanted to put a letter out regarding the newest fire levy. I am sure many will disagree with my thought process, and I will gladly embrace that. This is America and we should be allowed to disagree in a civil manner.

To start, I voted no on the last fire levy. I will never be under the assumption that because someone is a firefighter, police officer, or soldier, they deserve more money. For credibility’s sake, this is coming from a OIF veteran (Operation Iraqi Freedom) who hails from a long line of war veterans and civil servants. I enforce fiscal responsibility within the company that I work for, and I expect our public servants to do the same. The last fire levy, in my opinion, sounded like the story I have

heard so many times from various folks: I had a big chunk of change, I blew it, I ran up a credit card bill, and now I need a raise. There is no way I will endorse, accept, vote yes for, or embrace a leadership team that behaves the way the EFDs (Enumclaw Fire Department) previous leadership team did.

Fast forward now to a new chief, a semi-new leadership board, and a few less firefighters who are handed the exact opposite of what the previous team was handed: a brutal combination of an accelerated demand for their most critical services, but little finance to pay for their required upcoming equipment replacements while trying to keep a minimum amount of life saving personnel on the clock.

As a citizen, I was interested in the new board positions. I asked the chief if I could take a few minutes of his time to understand the details of the position. Instead of a few minutes, he gave me a few hours. Throughout my conversation with Chief Fehr I realized that we now have a man of integrity and principal who truly wanted to give

the citizens of Enumclaw the best bang for their buck. He is interested in making sure his employees are getting the equipment necessary (and legally required) to do their job, and that the citizens of Enumclaw have access to his employees when they needed them.

In addition, as a lifelong resident of the area, he has a vested interest in quality care. I walked away convinced that Chief Fehr was open and transparent with me in not only his facts and figures, but also his intentions (a rare but treasured trait). For the record, I did not officially put an application packet in for the position and I truly do appreciate Chief Fehr’s willingness to meet with me.

In my lifetime, I have never voted yes for a tax increase. I’ve either felt they weren’t necessary (after reading into the details), or I felt they were presented in a manner that was missing transparency (i.e. the previous fire levy or last years’ school levy). For this levy, I feel that we have no choice. The EFD’s previ-

or were expelled from Israel during what Arabs call the Nabka – “the catastrophe.” Many are refugees to this day, living in camps in the Arab states along Israel’s borders.

I lived in the Arab suburbs of East Jerusalem for two months during the summer of 1969, working on an archaeological dig in the southern part of the Old City. This was two years after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War where, in six days, Israel took East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights from its Arab neighbors.

I remember very clearly a Jewish friend pointing out to me the walls that had divided East Jerusalem from West Jerusalem between 1948-67.

The day our group left for home, a Christian religious fanatic tried to destroy one of the Muslim mosques on the Temple Mount to allow for the building of a new Jewish Temple.

This created a major international crisis.

While travel is now possible between West and East Jerusalem, the area remains a focal point of tension between Palestinian Arabs and Jews.

While we wait the remainder of our week to re-link with Buckley and points east, we can be grateful that our forced separation was not as long lasting nor as destructive as when Berlin and Jerusalem were divided.

We can also be grateful that while the bridge closure is a major nuisance, it does not qualify as an international incident, nor will it be in place for decades as the divisions between Berlin and Jerusalem were.

ous leadership team made some pretty bad decisions in the last decade and we are all suffering because of it. While it frustrates me to no end to know that the money myself, my parents, and my grandparents paid to help out with these expenses was splurged, I recognize that these decisions were not made by our current leadership, and they still have legal requirements to meet.

As a community, I challenge us to recognize that we have a new leadership team at the EFD and give them the support they need. Many will say they need the money because they are heroes. Some will say that they need it so our home insurance rates don’t go up. I am likely with a minority group that doesn’t care about these matters. I am voting yes because if I don’t, the many citizens in our community who need access to life saving care will not get it. Meaning when they call 911, the ambulance or fire truck just might not show up in time.

To the EFD, I challenge you in another way: I am personally thankful for the group of citizens

who exposed the financial decisions in the past, even if I disagree with the tone in which they did it. I ask that if this levy passes, you make decisions that don’t require the use of that groups services again.

Understand that many citizens are going to be put in a tough place financially over this lid lift. A latte a month could be the difference between making it and not making it for a few. Consider these matters are serious as they sound and recognize them in every aspect of your financial decision making.

Thankfully, I’m confident you’re already doing this.

Union takes too much to pass levy Fire District 28 again wants the taxpayers to pony up a larger percentage of their income so that those working in this government agency can receive a compensation package so beyond anything in the private industry it is proof as to why firefighters will tell you “It’s a great gig” with a big

KEY FROM 6 vote your dollars and sell your labor.

Each decision shapes lives – yet in aggregate the collective choices shape culture. It’s all so democratic.

Nonetheless, November harbors an election so politics can rear its ugly head. The ambitious and charismatic seek power to implement the will of their supporters. That will is

smile on their face.

When a fire department has a job opening they will receive hundreds if not thousands of applications.

So it’s not a supply and demand thing, it’s simply a demand from unions firefighters for massive amounts of money from taxpayers.

Here are some highlights of a firefighters incredible compensation package. Taxpayers pay 100 percent of the health care insurance. They have a $1,500 deductible on their health insurance yet the commissioners gave union members $5,000 a year cash in an HSA account. This allows these government employees to have little to no out of pocket Saving the best for last, the fire district opted out of social security. They don’t pay a dime to Social Security. But each month they are paid the amount that the employer (the taxpayers) would pay into Social Security. Firefighter have what’s called LEOFF for their retirement. Social Security will be bankrupt in a few years so why would anyone want to be part of Social Security.

They’re not. Yet they receive Social Security payments up front, in

the political base which becomes the interest served. The gilded prize is the exercise of power over others. Here’s the rub. Lost are the wonders of voluntary transactions. In its place are victors exercising raw political power and losers trying to subvert or lessen the damage of triumphant pigs at the trough.

So, will your vote matter? When was the last time your vote provided the deciding tally in any city, county, state, or federal election? It will be counted,

their pocket each month.

The union has so much power that volunteers are limited to extremely poor compensation for their service. If they are paid more than $25 a call the union will likely file a grievance. Union compensation including all pay and benefits for a medium first class firefighter is over $60 an hour. But the chief can’t offer a reasonable compensation for volunteers to help increase their numbers because the union doesn’t want them.

They want more full time union firefighter.

The usual suspects will call me a liar as they did during the last Proposition 1 levy. All the above information comes from the Fire District 28 office. Pass Prop 1 and you will agree with everything the union firefighters are taking from the taxpayers.

Randy Fehr has done a good job as the new chief but has far less power than the union when it comes to controlling spending at the fire district. In 2015 there were 14 full time employees. The taxpayers pay for all the training. The taxpayers pay for all their uniforms and gear. Average 24 hour call out’s are about six calls

but it likely won’t matter. However, in the economic sphere, every dollar you spend is a vote that matters – to you.

And, every hour you work makes a difference – to you. And, every buck you save or invest can be used for a better tomorrow. Salvation lies not with politicians who curry your vote. It rests in the votes you take every day expressed by the economic choices you make. Vote wisely.

They work two concurrent shifts and have four days off. And they want more taxpayers money because they don’t take enough.

If the union backs it down just a little I would agree a levy increase is

Talking bridges and back-ups pavement” or, dare I say it, a bridge over the White River and the traffic toward Bonney Lake on any given late afterLen Bundy noon. And there you are, straddling WonGeneration a very hot piece of metal, sucking up exhaust fumes, watching people on their cell phones, all the while being reminded something is drastically wrong with this world! After all, why is this not going the way I want it to go. And what is this sign ahead telling me this bridge will be closed?

All these thoughts race through my mind: What will this do my travel?

How much longer will it take me to travel around? What if they don’t finish on time, how will that impact my schedule? And what if something goes wrong and it takes more than a week?

Our roads were not really designed for us staying still on them. They were designed for us to be traveling along, preferably at the speed limit.

So when someone does something to cause a crash (conflict), everyone else along the way is impacted and delayed from getting to their own destination.

There are some other impacts…our fuel economy goes down, our anxiety goes up and sometimes drivers “go off.” We’ve either seen it first-hand or been the ones going off.

And that got me thinking about

Church Corner

CAROL HUTTON

another bridge…

In the same vein, you and I were designed for so much more.

Every day, all of us are in a different kind of traffic. We are trying to move toward something better than where we are. In simple terms, if we are hungry, we move toward getting something to eat. If in need of income we move toward our jobs (or getting one). We have need of connecting with someone else so we move toward another person in some level of relationship. And, like traffic outside, there are at times “back ups” as we pursue our goals.

Many times we come down to a bridge, stuck in a long line, trying not to get frustrated. Our bridges are to get us over dangerous things in our lives which we don’t want to fall into.

These might be destructive habits, or attitudes which cause people to reject us, or struggles with mental health issues, or even the remnants of abuse to ourselves which keeps us from merging into the current stream of life. For many, their bridge feels more like a bouncing suspension bridge designed to toss them into the raging waters below.

Fortunately, there is a better bridge.

It is a healthy church community.

Let’s take a quick look at the components of this bridge. First, it should be based on solid Biblical teaching.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have been enjoying the recent warm, sunny days. Largely because I indulged myself in a toy – 1980 motorcycle! So my mode of transportation on these nice days has been missing since the early 1980s. Enjoying the feeling of the sun, the wind and the power of the bike has been great… with a few exceptions.

I had forgotten what a pain it is to ride a motorcycle in stop-and-go traffic. When you drive a manual transmission car, stop-and-go traffic is bad enough but I’m used to that and, of course, when you are stopped in a car or truck, you don’t have to worry about your mind wandering and your truck falling over! But on a motorcycle, it is important to not forget what you are doing. And as you are not distracted by things inside your vehicle (since there really isn’t an inside) your mind contemplates those things outside, all around you.

Now, some of those things are pleasant. The incredible view of Mount Rainier, the smells of the farms, being a little more connected perhaps to some of the birds and animals as you travel by.

But then there are times when traffic doesn’t move – from accidents, from “too many cars, not enough

Raymond Thomas Markey passed away quietly on Thursday, February 11, 2016, at home in Enumclaw, WA. Born October 30, 1940, in Pawtucket, R.I. he was the son of the late George and Gladys Markey (Bagley). He is survived by his wife of 30 years, Marion L. Markey (Page), step-son Robert P. Hoffman (Carol) of Enumclaw, WA., daughters Christine Roskos (Brent), of Acworth, GA, and Colleen Markey of Murphy, N.C. Survivors include granddaughter Myranda Hoffman, grandsons Patrick Hoffman, Raymond Hoffman and Jed Russo of Enumclaw, WA., and various nieces and nephews.

Gabby was preceded in death by a brother, and two sisters. He retired from the Air Force in 1985, and settled in Wasilla, AK. Various jobs after retirement included maintenance supervisor for the Best Western Lake Lucille Inn, a motor home mechanic/troubleshooter, Special Education school bus driver and maintenance supervisor for Picnic Corp. at Amchitka Island in the Aleutians. In the 1990’s the Markey’s owned a transportation company called the “Valley Airport Shuttle” which carried passengers between the Matanuska Valley and the Anchorage International Airport, prior to scheduled bus service to the valley, and a metaphysical store “Imagination Unlimited” in Wasilla. The Markey’s moved to Enumclaw in 2003 to be closer to family and the VA. One of the highlights of his life was in 1969 when he worked for ILC Industries in Dover, DE where he worked with NASA as a technical writer during the development of the A7LB space suit worn by the astronauts during the “Apollo 11 Moon Mission”. Since he was approximately the same height and weight as Neil Armstrong, he was the live model for fittings and alterations for the suit that Neil Armstrong wore in his famous “walk on the moon.” He felt privileged to have met all of the Apollo astronauts from the various missions.

Gabby was member of the VFW, American Legion, DAV, AmVets the Enumclaw Moose Lodge and the Buckley Eagles.

Gabby will be interned at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, WA. with full military honors. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. The family wishes to thank Franciscan Hospice, Dr. Jane Houtz and staff, and Klontz Funeral home.

“I voted to terminate the contract because I believe that this is in the best interests of the residents of Black Diamond,” Pepper said.

Pepper also wrote that Morgan and herself were reviewing the council’s legal options and plan to propose future steps for the April 21 council meeting.

“We are looking forward to new contracts for legal services that will better address all of the city’s goals and requirements,” Pepper said.

In an email sent to Benson March 29 and attached to the resolution, Weber wrote, “As a follow-up to some questions raised with regard to Black Diamond Ordinance 08-850, I am requesting documentation and/ or documented processes that satisfy the three requirements of Black Diamond Municipal Code 3.23.030. I am looking for more than just the ‘gen-

eralized’ Black Diamond Financial Policies.”

Weber confirmed during the April 7 meeting that he has received various emails containing information about these policies and the bonds from Benson but he is still looking through the city’s 60-page insurance policy.

Weber did not return t he Courier-Hera ld ’s request for an interview af ter a message was left for him.

Whether the city or the council has the power to pay the bills has become another contentious issue, one that nearly resulted in the city paying its bills late, according to the city’s Financial Director May Miller in an April 13 phone interview.

Miller said she had never seen a situation like this in her 39 years in working with city finance.

This power struggle over bill payments started during the March 17 council meeting when Weber took the claim checks off the council’s consent agenda and sent them to the Budget and Finance Committee for discussion.

Weber said during the meeting he pulled the claim checks because the Budget and Administration Committee, which Weber chairs, has found the city does not have the legal authority to authorize checks and bill payments before the council approves them.

Weber then asked whether or not the claim checks on the consent agenda were already paid.

The mayor replied she assumed all claims have been paid, as that is the city’s standard procedure.

Miller was not at the April 7 meeting to give an answer, Benson said, because the finance director was not requested to attend.

However, Miller said later in an April 13 phone interview that there were bills that needed to be paid that night.

More than $134,000 in bills in the March 17 consent agenda needed checks sent out March 18, or the city risked late fees.

According to Benson,

policies that are needed for the city to authorize payments before council approval.

“We have a million dollar policy for theft and crime,” Benson said. “We have confirmed with the insurance company that this will cover those people who have signature authority (authority to approve bill payments).”

Superintendent’s Message Dear Friends, Our daughter Anna lives in Southern California and is in her second year of work as an accountant for KPMG. She has a great group of friends that she met in college and through work. There is a group of 6-8 of them that meet for dinner each week. If you are like us, we imagined kids in their mid-20’s probably picking a new restaurant to gather each week and have a meal. This is not the case for this group of friends. Each week they gather for “family meal night.” They take turns hosting each other and providing a home-cooked meal in which to gather around a table to share.

Oh, how we love this! As the week of Anna’s hosting approaches, Britt and I often receive a phone call with questions about food preparation. As a cook and Dad, I love this even more!

A few weeks ago, Britt and I had a chance to visit Anna during a quick weekend trip. Prior to the trip, we received a call from Anna requesting that Britt and I host a family meal night with her friends. Britt and I felt such joy to be able to prepare this meal and sit around a table to engage in conversations with these 20+ year-olds!

During the last few years, I have found myself not much of a “television show watcher” in the moment. I have discovered that I love HULU and Netflix so I can watch an hour show in 42 minutes. I have also discovered I can get “hooked” on a series. At about the time Britt and I were traveling to see Anna, we started watching episodes of Blue Bloods from the first season. Even though we are just at the beginning of Season Two, we have been drawn to this show. For us, it’s less about the plot of the story and more about the leadership and family lessons that are threaded throughout the 42 minutes. Within each episode is a section of this extended family sitting at a large dining room table together. It’s our favorite part. This family has developed rituals and norms for their family dinner. There’s a time for reflection and gratitude, a time for serving food while seated, a time for family check-ins, a time for discussion and dialogue on important issues and a time to close the meal and clean up. Every episode doesn’t include every part, but as the viewer, you have come to know the ritual so it is almost assumed in your mind.

In spare moments during the past couple of weeks, I have found myself lingering on the topic of family meal time. I’ve surfed Google and have found many interesting research articles, books and videos about families committing to or recommitting to having family meals. If this topic intrigues you and you are interested in doing your own research, I have three gems to share with you ….

1. a book written by a Harvard Medical School professor and mother Anne K. Fisher entitled Home for Dinner: Mixing Food, Fun, and Conversation for a Happier Family and Healthier Kids 2. a website entitled The Family Dinner Project http://thefamilydinnerproject.org/ 3. a very short video from a child’s perspective on this topic. https://www.facebook.com/EmmaLizs.Salon/videos/1155195001172121/?pnref=story Of course, because of my self-interest as a school superintendent in charge of 4,000 students, I would love for each student to have a time to discuss their school day. One of the pieces that I learned is that the type and tenor of the conversations seemed to change with the inclusion of food. I have no doubt this research will continue to fascinate and transform my thinking!

Happy April and Happy Family Meal Time!

In partnership with you,

Mike

Tea, Anyone?

Black Diamond Elementary teacher, Jill Forza, and her class had a “tea party” to share the students’ informational writing pieces on the American Revolution.

They drank tea, ate English tea cookies and took turns reading papers for their classmates to enjoy and comment on. They chose to have the tea party to commemorate the Boston Tea Party and all they have learned about British customs that were a part of the early colonies before we became our own nation. Learning is fun!

Olson’s takes honors, again The crew at Enumclaw’s Olson’s Meats must never tire of winning.

For the fourth year in a row, the team captured the Silver Platter, awarded to the all-around grand champion at the Northwest Meat Processors Association annual convention.

Olson’s took grand champion honors for its smoked turkey, sweet and

spicy jerky, nonfermented summer sausage, fermented summer sausage and boneless ham; the operation received reserve grand champion honors for its bone-in ham and apple links; and was heralded as champion for its maple-cinnamon bacon and smoked turkey breast.

The annual convention gives meat processors the opportunity to learn

about issues important to their industry, as well as compete for honors. At the end of the conference, the grand champion products are auctioned off with money going to a scholarship fund. Olson’s boneless ham fetched $3,350.

This year’s convention ran March 17-19 in Moscow, Idaho.

Enumclaw’s Gwerder signs to play soccer for the Utes

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Enumclaw High soccer standout Aleea Gwerder will be taking on the best the Pac-12 has to offer in the fall, having signed to play at the University of Utah.

Now a senior at EHS, Gwerder will join a program that finished 7-10-3 a season ago, including a 4-7 mark in conference play.

Gwerder is the 11th Utah signee. Ten others were inked during February’s national signing day.

Gwerder, a defender, will be taking impressive credentials to Salt Lake City. She is ranked as the No. 6 player in the Pacific Northwest and No. 128 nationally by Top Drawer Soccer after competing in the 2015 Nike National Training Camp. She helped her Washington Premier club to a U-18

2013 Rainier Challenge championship and the National ECNL Playoffs.

Gwerder was also an accomplished runner at Enumclaw. She was the captain of the cross country team, leading the Hornets to a district title and qualifying four years in a row for the state Class

3A meet. She also was named the 2015 3A SPSL Female Athlete of the Year for her performances during the track season. She holds the Enumclaw High record in both the 200 and 400 yard dash.

“I chose Utah because it provides me an opportunity to grow as both a player and a person,” Gwerder said. “Coming to Utah also allows me a chance to pursue my academic goals and chosen career path.”

The daughter of Paul and Judy Gwerder, she plans to pursue a degree in pharmaceutical or medical laboratory sciences.

At Enumclaw, Gwerder has been a member of the Key Club, National Junior Honor Society, Junior Honor Guard, and Honor Roll while being named a Washington Principals’ Scholar.

The Washington chapter of US Lacrosse honored White River senior Marcus Henke and Sumner High junior Quinault Mackey among its state high school players of the week.

The recognition was based on play during the week of April 4-10. One player is selected from each of seven conferences throughout the state.

Henke, a senior, was chosen for the Central-South Conference. He scored with 21 seconds remaining to lift White River to an 8-7 win over Union on April 4. With Union hanging on to a 7-6 lead at the end of three quarters, the Hornet midfielder and cocaptain tied it up with just 2:58 to go then scored the go-ahead goal on a manup situation just over two minutes later.

Henke delivered five points and three ground

ing to a perfect 7-0 with Thursday’s 8-0 clanking of the host Panthers.

The game was close most of the way, with Enumclaw’s five-run explosion in the top of the seventh inning making things appear more lopsided than they were.

The contest featured two of the league’s top pitchers, with the Hornets’ Quinn Breidenbach getting the best of BL’s Brooke Nelson.

Allan Yorke Park Boat Launch Change Reminder

T

he City of Bonney Lake operates a boat launch at Allan Yorke Park. A boat launch requires payment of parking fees at the kiosk, or an annual Resident Parking Pass (for residents only). Annual passes are available from the Finance Department on the 2nd Floor of the Justice and Municipal Center at 9002 Main St. E. Last year, the City closed the boat launch bollard system and now charges for parking instead of launches. Fees remain the same for daily use ($17) and resident annual passes ($30 plus tax). Boat trailer parking is located in the gravel parking lot off West Tapps Hwy. Passenger vehicles only (no boat trailers) may park in Ball Field #4 (adjacent to the main parking area for Allan Yorke Park).

Boaters who park their boat trailer in the in boat trailer parking lot without a properly displayed daily parking receipt or annual pass may receive a parking ticket. Boaters who park boat trailers in the Ballfield Four lot may receive a parking ticket – regardless of whether they have a pass or not. 

Weed Abatement Spraying Program – Starts May 2nd

T

he city will begin its annual spraying program May 2, 2016 (weather permitting). Brush, trees, and other vegetation are chemically controlled along City roads in the Right-of-Way (ROW). This is accomplished following strict application procedures by trained and certified Public Works crew members.

This program is required for several reasons: 1. Avoid creation of vehicle and pedestrian traffic hazards from vegetation that is blocking traffic signs or encroaching on roadways and sidewalks.

2. Avoid the spreading of Tansy Ragwort and other noxious weeds.

3. Maintain the quality appearance of the City.

Occasionally, some property owners with City ROW adjacent to their property prefer to cut the grass and bushes themselves as an alternative to City spraying in

front of their homes. To accommodate homeowners who prefer not to have the City chemically control vegetation along their property lines, an “Owner Responsibility and Maintenance Agreement” may be signed by the property owner. The property owner assumes responsibility for ensuring that weeds and bushes do not spread or grow too high in the City ROW adjacent to their property. Property owners that choose this option may do so by obtaining an agreement form the Public Works Department located at 19306 Bonney Lake Blvd. The form must be completed and submitted

by April 29, 2016. An “Owner Maintained” sign will then be issued and must be visibly posted on the right of way throughout the summer. The agreement can also be downloaded from the City’s website at http://www.ci.bonney-lake.wa.us/forms.shtml#pw. 

CHURCH FROM 8

support, the advice, the wisdom our situation needs. And remember, a part of our own need is in supporting others.

When Jesus summed up the laws and the words of the prophets, it came down to two things.

When he was asked what was the greatest commandment, “Jesus replied, ‘You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments” (Mt. 22:37-40 NLT).

Third, a healthy church community will be talking about all the real issues of life. The annoying squeal of our brakes when they are in need of replacement is a sign something needs to be fixed. If your mechanic said, “Don’t worry about that noise, it will stop eventually.” You would find a new mechanic. As people in a community of believers, we are called to be willing to confront one another in love to deal with our own squeaks, squeals, and causes for grinding. We are called to help each other be better spouses, better humans, better citizens.

And most importantly, a healthy church community will

Dinner, auction aids White River High FFA

be talking about Jesus – a lot!

Jesus is the ultimate bridge builder. He used his very body to be the foundation for what gives us the ability to be changed, transformed and redeemed. He demonstrated all of the above.

He loved people, he confronted people, he fed people, he healed people, he provided a way for people and a direction and he demonstrated the Father’s love.

He showed what it is to serve and how important it is to care for others. And most important, he invites every one of us into his community. And I promise you, this is a bridge that is never closed and there is a lane for us all to cross.

White River High School’s FFA chapter will host its annual spaghetti feed fundraiser April 22.

The event, which includes a silent auction and live dessert auction, will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. in the high school commons. Tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased at the door.

Dinner includes all-you-caneat spaghetti, salad and bread.

All proceeds help pay for the 20 White River students who have qualified to attend the state FFA convention May 11-15 in Pullman.

in life has been experienced by others and are all in scripture.

In some cases, those in scripture handled it well, in some cases not so well and we can learn how to approach our challenges accordingly. Second, a healthy church community is an active community. Within are connection points for people. Both those who are able to help and those who are in need. It may take a little time to recognize who to talk to or where to go exactly.

It may be we must be a little bit bolder about “merging in” but it may be what it takes to find the
