Howard edges Sundstrom in Buckley By Kevin Hanson Editor
An Enumclaw incumbent was ousted, a slowgrowth trio was pushed into power in Black Diamond
and an Enumclaw School Board race could be headed for a recount. Those were among the local results stemming from the Nov. 8 general election. In Enumclaw, a contentious race for the Position 2 seat on the City Council proved less than dramatic. Challenger Darrel Dickson started with an election night lead over one-term
incumbent Richard Elfers and held his advantage later into the week. Thursday’s results showed the fiscallyconservative Dickson with 55 percent of the vote, leading 1,243 to 1,008 in the popular vote. That was the only contested race for the Enumclaw council, as incumbent Jim Hogan and newcomer Chance LaFleur ran unop-

posed. In Black Diamond, three seats were contested but it was quickly apparent none would be close. The common theme is that each victor has gone on record as supporting slow, manageable growth for the small town dealing with the prospect of massive expansion. In the Position 1 race, Tamie Boxx-Deady is taking 73 percent of the vote in her race against incumbent Kristine Hanson. For Position 3, Joe May has more than 76 percent support in his challenge of Pam McCain. And for Position 5, challenger Ron Taylor has more than 77 percent of the vote, trouncing incumbent Leih Mulvihill.
Things were just the opposite in the Position 7 race for a seat on the Buckley City Council, where Bryan Howard and Marvin Sundstrom were deadlocked when the election night totals were released. Twenty-four hours later, Howard held a slim, 12-vote lead and, two days after the election, the margin had increased to 43 votes. In Buckley’s other contested council race, Milt Tremblay managed a comfortable victory over Sandra Sundstrom, taking more than 56 percent of the total.

Both a driver and passenger were rushed to Harborview Medical Center Saturday morning after a compact car left state Route 164, crossed a lane of traffic and crashed into a stand of trees. The trouble was, the 1993 Honda Prelude was hidden by vegetation and was not discovered for hours. According to Washington State Patrol reports, the accident occurred about 1:45 a.m. and was finally seen by people walking in the area at approximately 7:10 a.m.
The Honda was eastbound on SR 164, crossed the westbound lane and crashed near the intersection of Southeast 392nd Street. According to WSP documents, the vehicle was being driven by Derek T. Phifer, 26, of Bonney Lake. His passenger was 27-year-old Tristan E. Plew of Kirkland, Wash. A State Patrol press release indicated alcohol was a contributing factor to the accident and charges are pending. Traffic was detoured for nearly four hours Saturday morning while the State Patrol investigated.
