The Enumclaw Garden Club staged its 47th annual Breakfast for the Birds Feb. 22 in the Enumclaw High School commons. The event traditionally features a hat parade, but this year brought some brightly-decorated umbrellas instead – centered around the “Bears and Bumbershoots” theme. Among the participants were Enumclaw’s Eileen Griffiths, top photo, and Judy Amburgey.

Weather

Today, Wednesday, could bring 1 to 3 inches of snow. Things will warm up Thursday, with a daytime high near 44 and a 50 percent chance of precipitation. Rain showers will persist Friday through Sunday with temperatures hitting 50.

The city of Enumclaw intends to see the contentious library issue settled, begin construction on the much-awaited Welcome Center and find someone to operate the municipal golf course – all by the close of the year.

Those three items highlight the city’s 2012 “program of work.” Every year, city leadership identifies a list of items to accomplish during the calendar year, including a desired outcome and staff resources.

First on this year’s list is the possible annexation of Enumclaw into the King County Library System, a process the city council started earlier this month.

The city has greatly scaled back its support of the library and is pushing for an April 17 annexation vote. If passed, the transition to the KCLS would take place in late spring or early summer. Enumclaw property owners would, in 20113, begin paying the additional taxes that would come with annexation.

With the Welcome Center, the city is hoping to complete final design, finalize lease arrangements and prepare bid documents. Before the calendar flips to another year, the city is hoping to break ground on the project, according to City Administrator Mike Thomas.

The golf course has gone from a profit center to operating in the red two consecutive years.

The city’s answer is to seek a private operator to take control. That was attempted before, but the city balked at terms offered by potential vendors.

Care Van is back and ready to roll As the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation celebrates 30 years of service on the Plateau, it also will be celebrating Monday’s return of the Care Van. Because healthcare transportation is a struggle for many in the area, the foundation has made it priority to bring the service back to the Plateau communities and pick up where services were left in August 2010. On average, anywhere from 250 to 300 transports occurred per month for healthcare-related appointments when the service was halted.

The Enumclaw Regional Healthcare

Foundation’s Care Van was originally established in 1987 to provide free rides to senior citizens and disabled people needing transportation to the local hospital, pharmacies and local medical offices.

The vehicle was originally purchased by the foundation – previously known as the Enumclaw Regional Hospital Foundation – with operational support offered by the hos-

pital; financial support came from the foundation and donors.

In 2007, Enumclaw Regional Hospital became affiliated with Franciscan Health System, which took ownership of the senior transportation program. In August 2010, the Care Van was taken out of service due to limited resources.

In August, the foundation determined the

HURST

2012 Mid Legislative Session Update JOBS, THE ECONOMY, THE BUDGET, AND DISTRACTIONS

About the only thing I really like about being in Olympia this year is when I get in my car and head back home to the 31st District. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of the work that I do down here on your behalf is very important, but the world of politics often seems so distant from the real world that most folks live in, it can be truly frustrating at times.

You may have seen stories about this legislative session and be frustrated by a seeming lack of focus on jobs, the economy, and getting our fiscal house back in order. It is irritating at times when legislators get off track from the most important issues. I belong to a small group of legislators, often referred to by the media as the “Road Kill Caucus,” a group of moderates who seek compromise and inclusiveness in solving our state’s problems. We are working on a number of pieces of legislation that will increase efficiencies and decrease unnecessary spending. Last year this group was successful in passing legislation that kept down unemployment insurance and workers comp rates in hopes of spurring new employment.

The tough part now is finishing a supplemental budget during this current legislative session. Initially, most of the liberal legislators wanted to immediately find a way to raise revenue through increased taxes. I believed, as did a number of my colleagues, that the proper path forward required us to first enact additional reforms and restructuring of government and our state budget, prior to talking about new revenue. I’ve worked on and introduced legislation to do just that.

Special Session The legislature held a special session in December at which time we reduced the current budget shortfall by $480 million dollars. Some of these reductions came through legitimate reforms, and others were the implementation of one time savings. The good news is that some of the reforms from the last couple of years have resulted in a lower “caseload forecast.”

What that means is that fewer people are actually seeking government assistance.

Some of this came about when we decided to replace cash grants with housing vouchers in public assistance programs. I strongly supported this move. If someone really needs housing or food, let’s give them a hand, but simply handing out cash sometimes encourages drug addicts and alcoholics to continue self-destructive behavior and seek out public assistance. This wastes tax dollars, and ultimately takes assistance away from those truly in need and who are trying to improve their lives.

Revenue Forecast The good news is that unemployment is dropping, finally, and the revenue forecast that just came out on February 16th shows that consumer confidence, spending, and revenue are up. Our state’s Economic and Revenue Forecast Council has projected that in the next biennium we will see a 6.6% increase in our economy and revenue, which is a dramatic improvement over the last several years. This improvement is due, in part, to Boeing’s announcement that the new 737 MAX will be produced here in Washington State, resulting in tens of thousands of new jobs in

the next couple of decades. For each job at the Boeing Company, five additional jobs will be created with subcontractors and suppliers in our area.

Although the current economic crisis is not over, things are looking much better than they have in quite a while. I am pleased to see this positive trend and am looking forward to an improved economy and job prospects for folks in the 31st District in the next year.

Current Budget Proposal Due to these improvements in the economy and the reform efforts that we have already undertaken, the House of Representatives has submitted two different supplemental budget proposals, one from the Republicans and one from the Democrats, neither of which relies on new taxes from the general public. Both are fairly tough, no nonsense proposals reflecting the reality of our current economic situation. There are similarities between the two proposals and it’s my hope that we can merge them together to find a bipartisan solution to the budget shortfall. The legislature works best when we all work together as a team, and set partisan politics and bickering aside. In the coming weeks this process will be completed and Washington will be back on track.

Public Safety As the Chair of the Public Safety Committee I also worked on important legislation that will keep citizens safe. There wasn’t a lot of money to spend so we focused on making our criminal justice system more efficient, and implementing science based practices that make sure

that we are being smart on crime. The one area where we did dramatically increased sentencing was when drunk drivers kill innocent citizens. Those offenders will see their sentences increased, and the money to pay for that will come through new revenue approved by the voters when they privatized liquor sales in Washington State through I-1183. Senator Roach, Representative Dahlquist and I were all either prime sponsors or co-sponsors of key pieces of criminal justice legislation.

Redistricting Every ten years, after the national census, redistricting is done by a citizen’s commission that equals out the number of people in each legislative district. As a result, a lot of folks are moved from one legislative district to another due to growth in some areas and static populations in others. In the final plan we were able to maintain about 90% of our current legislative district. Pam, Cathy and I fought hard to keep as much of our district together as possible. Unfortunately, we will be losing some folks to the north and east Enumclaw, north of 416th. They will be replaced by some other folks in north Auburn and south of South Prairie and Sumner. If you would like to see what the new district boundaries are, contact my office and we can get you a copy of the map showing the new and old district lines. I look forward to meeting all of the new folks in our legislative district, of whom there will be about 14,000, this coming summer.

In Conclusion Nationwide we’re finally seeing a very significant uptick in American manufacturing for the first time in quite a while.

There are two main reasons. First, consumers and businesses that held off making major purchases during the recession are now catching up by buying everything from major appliances and cars to manufacturing tools. The second is that production costs in China have been

steadily increasing, and Americans are finally getting fed up with poor quality and seeing their friends and family members’ jobs outsourced to foreign countries.

This resurgence and pride in American manufacturing jobs is great news!

In the end, our long term economic recovery and prosperity will be closely tied to our willingness as a State and as a Nation to abandon the failed policy of

buying poor quality inferior products from third world countries just to save a few dollars, while laying off and outsourcing the jobs of millions of Americans. This new resurgence in buying American made products and supporting American jobs is just a part of the spirit that will bring us back together as a country, and help heal our divided nation. We will succeed as Americans when we look

for the things that unite us, rather than the ones that divide us.

Sincerely,

587463

Family benefit set

OBITUARY

Plans continue moving forward on benefit events aimed at providing financial assistance for an Enumclaw family plagued with troubles.

Martin and Melissa Nachtsheim became parents in June 2011 to a baby boy, Lincoln, who was 10 weeks premature and weighed less than 2 pounds.

Melissa Nachtsheim was soon diagnosed with a rare type of blood cancer and, on Jan. 17, Martin Nachtsheim sustained serious injuries during a car crash on state Route 410 that was not his fault.

Friends and family are organizing a benefit garage sale that will take place from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday at Thunder Mountain Middle School.

Donations will be accepted until the sale begins.

Anyone wishing to contribute items for the sale can deliver them between 2 and 4 p.m. Friday to a collection site in the parking lot of the Safeway store in Enumclaw. On Saturday, items can be delivered to Thunder Mountain between 7 and 8 a.m.

For details, call Laura Olender at 253-261-2571.

CARE VAN FROM 1 Care Van should return to service and made a priority of finding the financial resources to get the van back in service. In November, Franciscan handed the keys to the van back to the foundation, along with a $15,000 donation to get the transportation program rolling.

The service will not be restricted to seniors or disabled, but transports are for nonemergency rides and must be healthcare related.

Hours of operation will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. In the past, the van averaged about 15 trips a day, so passengers are being encouraged to schedule a ride two to 14 days in advance, if possible.

The van has features like a hydraulic lift for large wheelchairs. It seats eight passengers, plus two wheelchairs.

The Care Van serves residents of Enumclaw, Black Diamond, Bonney Lake, Buckley, Burnett, Carbonado, Cumberland,

DAN BLACK Buckley resident Dan Black, 71, died Feb. 24, 2012.

He was born Nov. 26, 1940, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. He retired from Tom Matson Dodge after 39 years of service. He loved working on cars and drag racing and was known as “Mr. Fix-it.” He enjoyed riding motorcycles with his son, working on his tractor and was always playing pranks on his family and friends.

He is survived by wife Mary Black of Buckley; sons Dan Black and wife Brandi of Longbranch, Wash., and Ben Black and wife Jennifer

South Prairie and Wilkeson.

To schedule a ride, call 360284-2444.

with Bathsheba and his ordering the subsequent murder of Uriah, David explains that God doesn’t want our burnt offerings externally, but would George Dakin rather an internal Wabash Presbyterian offering of the heart.

He says, “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise” (Psalm 51:17).

I am writing this article on Ash Wednesday, a day in our church year set aside just for that kind of contrition. It is a day probably first commemorated in the eighth century to mark our need to prepare for the feast of Easter. However, the prescribed preparation was one of contrition, symbolized by the adorning of one’s self in ashes as a sign of our sorrow for our sinfulness and fallen nature.

So my appeal to you in this Easter season, whether it is spoken to your spouse, to your children, to your parents, to a coworker or a neighbor, do the hard thing. Say you’re sorry, when appropriate.

And most importantly, remember that it’s the one sacrifice God desires from us: that sorry, contrite heart he will not despise.

I believe it was the pop singer Elton John who at least sang, and perhaps penned the phrase, “Sorry seems to be the hardest word.” I differ with Sir Elton on many things, but I think he had this one thing right. “Sorry” does seem to be hard for people to utter.

How often have you heard it said, “If they would only just say they were sorry!” A simple admission of guilt, of responsibility or accountability, goes along way. Another word for that, scarcely used any longer, is “contrite.” Few are the people who admit any level of contrition these days.

The simple step of contrition, of admitting guilt or complicity, flies in the face of our more desired virtue, that being pride.

What prevents us from voicing that simple word is generally our pride. We wouldn’t want to risk being embarrassed or seeming as though we “don’t have it all together” so we put on a strong front and fail to acquiesce to that very simple yet powerful emotion – contrition.

And, it’s something that God desires of us, above any other sacrifice. In Psalm 51, a prayer uttered by David when he was confronted over his extramarital affair

Bauer’s Landscape & Maintenance

Mary Louise (Verhonick) Ames Mary Louise Ames, the oldest child of Matthew and Martha (Paulin) Verhonick, joined life eternal on February 19, 2012. Mary was born in Enumclaw on July 18, 1918. Her family farmed in the area north of Enumclaw where she went to Krain Elementary School, later attending Enumclaw High and graduating with the class of 1937. As a young woman Mary worked at several businesses in downtown Enumclaw. Semanski’s Variety Store and the Enumclaw Dry Cleaners were among these businesses. Mary and John C. Ames were married April 14, 1951 and resided in the same

home all their married life.

Mary was a skilled homemaker. She constructed clothing for herself and others and was a proficient needle artist and gardener. She enjoyed having company and entertaining at home.

Mary and John enjoyed traveling together through many western states and Hawaii. They particularly enjoyed spending time in the outdoors and going for Sunday recreational drives.

Mary and John were committed to attending important events of friends and family. Mary was a member of the Enumclaw and Auburn Amaranth Courts. Mary and John were active in attending meetings and events in the Masonic Order throughout the northwest.

Family ties were important to Mary as she assisted her parents and sisters when needed.

Mary had a special relationship with her neighbors. Neighborhood children found their own way to the backyard garden or Mary’s kitchen table.

Mary resided the last several years at Expressions in Enumclaw where she developed close ties with the staff. Mary is remembered fondly with a twinkle in her eye and always tapping her toes to her own music.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her sisters Eileen Verhonick and Bea Tomlin, and her brother William Verhonick. She is survived by two first cousins: John Millarich, Enumclaw and Anne Millarich Nilsen, Seattle and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Services were held at Weeks Enumclaw Funeral Home on Saturday, February 25, 2012.

Memorials may be sent to the Care Van Project at the Enumclaw Regional Health Care Foundation, 1174 Myrtle Avenue, Enumclaw, WA 98022 or a charity of your choice.

Letters None should be needs to provide denied happiness County clearer recycling orders I normally try not to talk too much about my personal life in these spaces, but in this case, I am going to make an exception.

I got engaged a few weeks ago and to be completely honest, I am not sure I have ever been happier. I didn’t expect to feel any different about things as The Girl and I had just signed our first lease together and were planning to make a go of it anyway, but there was just something about making it official.

I mention this because I am about to write about gay marriage and usually when I do, I like to point out that I am not gay Brian Beckley and not getting Staff Writer married, therefore I really have no dog in the show.

But that’s not the case anymore, I actually DO have a dog in this show and I can’t believe anyone would want to deny another human being the sheer joy and excitement our engagement has brought to me and my fiancee.

In Washington state, marriage equality is once again a top-level issue since legislation was signed Feb. 13 making ours the seventh state in the union to recognize the right of all people to publicly declare their love and to receive all of the rights and benefits that come with that.

Also this month, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Feb. 7 struck down as unconstitutional California’s Proposition 8, a referendum that was literally titled “Eliminates Rights of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.”

Which is funny, since I thought a “right” was something that a government is supposed to protect, not take away.

The appeals court agreed.

LAST WEEK: Following technical difficulties, the Question of the Week has made a return. Watch next week for results.

I’m extremely happy that King County decided to reopen the transfer station for recycling for several reasons.

There will be less garbage dumped in the woods. People can recycle instead of disposing recyclables in landfills. People won’t have to burn and bury.

I also read that King County has some concerns regarding the recyclables people are placing at the transfer station. I have a couple of questions: when recycling glass should the paper labels be removed? Does the “other paper” container include envelopes with plastic windows? Would it be possible for King County to be clearer about what should and should not be placed in the containers.

Like many citizens, I try to do my best. However, I feel I need clearer directions in order to help the county and do the best possible job.

Completing links makes for a better community Become part of the chain reaction that is Rachel’s Challenge – and change our culture for the better.

Rachel Scott, the first person killed in the Columbine tragedy over a decade ago wrote, “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.”

If one writes down a simple statement on a Rachel’s Challenge link of doing or seeing another do an act of kindness or compassion for a friend, neighbor or stranger, it helps to bring and keep in the forefront of your consciousness that act.

Making you think more about it will encourage yourself to do other such acts.

When you do more, the recipients of such generosity or others viewing the same will do likewise. It is a win-win situation for everyone.

You are not boasting when writing about your acts, as the statement can be anonymous without other names stated. You are just encouraging yourself and community members to reach a higher ground of morality.

It is hard to prevent intimidation, bullying or violent behavior. It is easy and productive to promote caring behavior in a positive way.

Join the schools, churches, businesses and residents that have taken up this challenge.

There are chains of links everywhere, but we need to finish with a flourish.

Our goal is a two-mile long chain and we still have a ways to reach that milestone. Please find a stack of links and write to your heart’s content – blank links are around town in many places.

With the terrible ice storm, the winds of late or just the toils of everyday life,

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 • www.courierherald.com the potential of random acts of kindness and compassion abound. Love was in the air with Valentine’s Day – were there any acts of kindness then?

Rachel wrote, “Compassion is the greatest form of love humans have to offer.”

The culmination of Rachel’s Challenge for this year is 6:30 p.m.

March 6 at the football stadium, when everyone’s chains will be paraded on the field.

Students are collecting all the chains at Pete’s on March 5 to connect them.

Be part of our school’s efforts and this communitywide gathering for the Plateau and plan to attend. Testimonials from participants, a Rachel’s Challenge speaker and more will happen.

A celebration in the fieldhouse at Pete’s follows. While King 5 News and other media will be covering the event, come see for yourself how this powerful program has impacted our community and changed a culture.

Trip Hart LINCCK – Linking Civility, Compassion and Kindness

Not happy with direction the fire district is headed Editor’s note: the following letter was written before the fire district announced it would not be seeking a levy increase this spring.

Our local fire district recently took out a two-page ad in The Enumclaw Courier-Herald. I was surprised to find out Fire District 28 is planning on asking for multiple, long-term tax increases to build a new costly fire station and pay for expanding operating costs.

I attended a public open house meeting on Jan. 30, 2012, where Fire Chief Clow and district fire commissioners attempted to justify a big new firehouse and large increases in property taxes. I didn’t come away convinced and I continue to research these matters. I have found out a few things that I would like to share.

Enumclaw has not grown much in 10 years and is not expected to grow much in the next 10 years. The current fire station has seven bays and the Enumclaw station has two fire trucks. The current fire station facility works well and existing problems discussed in the public meeting are minor and easily fixed.

It is interesting to note that the fire district purchased property in October of 2011 on which to build an expensive new fire station. They appear to have purchased the property in haste and before voter approval of a new costly fire station. The property purchased is ill suited for a fire station because it is 75 percent wetlands. The fire district paid $495,000 of our tax dollars for the property. The property is currently assessed at $55,000 and was previously purchased at the height of the real estate boom in 2005 for $265,000. Fire Chief Clow and the fire commissioners claim to have been unaware that the property contained wetlands.

Expanding fire district costs include Fire Chief Clow’s recent $40,000 annual pay increase. Fire Chief Clow now

makes $11,000 per month. In addition, Fire Chief Clow receives a $1,900 monthly medical-dental package and a $2,127 monthly pension package. As of a few weeks ago, the total tax dollars to support Fire Chief Clow is $180,324 per year, not including the free use of a fire district vehicle.

The fire district doesn’t need to raise property taxes. It currently collects more funds than needed for operating expenses. A $2 million slush fund of property taxes has accumulated and has been used for numerous discretionary purchases, including the imprudent purchase of land for a new expensive fire station. Full accounting of the tax dollars included in this slush fund has been withheld from public scrutiny.

Regarding increasing property taxes, Fire Chief Clow was heard saying at the open house I attended: “If I could ask for $4 per $1,000, I would, but I can’t.” If left unchecked, Fire Chief Clow would collect $1,600 per year in fire taxes alone for a $400,000 Plateau property.

A new expensive fire station is a bad idea. Buying property for an unapproved fire station without an adequate feasibility study is a reckless use of public funds. Expanding fire district dayto-day operating costs in the height of a recession is foolish and insensitive.

It is irresponsible of the fire district to award a $40,000 annual pay increase to a public employee in these hard economic times.

Fire Chief Clow is financially insulated from hard economic times. However, many of our Plateau residents are not.

Fixed income retirees are feeling the pinch of higher living costs. Many of our neighbors are out of work or working longer hours for fewer dollars. You don’t have too look far to see how responsible public entities are handling hard economic times. Enumclaw city workers have been laid off and the remainder forgone cost-of-living raises in the face of trimmed operating budgets. Most everyone in this community is making do with less income.

The public needs to restore confidence in, and control of, an out-ofcontrol fire district that spends public tax dollars like there is no tomorrow.

The fire district needs to be restructured for effective oversight and the cronyism needs to be stopped. I think it would be wise for our Enumclaw fire chief to refuse his recent $40,000 publicly-financed pay raise. Barring that, perhaps he and the fire district board of commissioners should be fired for gross insensitivity to the needs of community, rampant cronyism and financial mismanagement.

As any worthwhile linguist will tell you, our queen’s English is in a constant state of flux; that is, the meaning of words change, new words are invented and the spelling of words change. (As the same worthwhile linguist will tell you, English is one of the world’s dominant languages not only because of the glory days of England’s colonial empire, but also precisely because it so quickly adjusts and absorbs change.)

At one time the word “cool” referred solely to a cold or chilly condition, but today, of course, it has several additional meanings.

“Cool” can mean “good,” as when something is “cool,” It can also refer to a person’s temperament; a “cool” person doesn’t get angry and remains calm and controlled. Furthermore, during the past 40 years, a cavalcade of new words have been invented, including examples like “Internet,” “sit-com,” “sexting,” “infomercial,” “googling” and “hedgefund.”

Keeney dances to 105

By Daniel Nash Staff Writer

Black Diamond born-and-bred Ruby Favro-Androsko-Keeney turned 105 Feb. 2.

Though her age has rendered her physically frail, she remains sharp as a tack and is no less the passionate woman she’s been her entire life.

Her granddaughter, Gail VanHoof, was quick to share a video of Keeney dancing with a younger man from her wheelchair.

When they finished, he kissed her, and when he pulled away, she pulled him back and said, “Kiss me again!”

Keeney is the daughter of Mary Raison, who had emigrated to the United States from

105

years young!

Belgium on a banana-shipping boat. Keeney’s oldest brother Emil – a baby at the time – ran a fever, and the other passengers wanted to be rid of him to save the ship from illness.

“They wanted to throw him overboard,” she said.

Keeney’s mother and brother made it safe and sound to America, where another son, Frank, was born. The boys’ father later died.

Keeney’s mother then married Italian immigrant Joe Favro, who was Keeney’s father.

Keeney was born Feb. 2, 1907, in Black Diamond, where she remained most of her life. She was joined by three more sisters.

Keeney attended Black Diamond High School and continues to represent the class of

1925 each and every year at reunions.

Growing up – “When taverns opened up at 12 o’clock,” she said – Keeney was fond of dancing. She met Steve Androsko at a dance hall in Black Diamond when she was 19. He charmed her on the floor, she said, and during intermission he asked her to come back to his car.

VanHoof was momentarily taken aback by Keeney’s story, but then encouraged her on.

“What happened in his car, Grandma?”

“Love,” Keeney replied.

Keeney and Androsko dated for a year, a portion of which Androsko spent living with Keeney’s family. Mother Mary would lock Androsko in at night to make sure he didn’t sneak across the hall to Keeney’s room, Keeney said.

The two married in 1927, and had one son, Joe Androsko.

Keeney held several jobs through the years, including working at brother Emil “Frog” Raison’s Boulevard Tavern in Renton, the

On To State • Thursday through Sunday in the SunDome, Yakima

Hornet boys, girls Yakima-bound White River girls start with Burlington

By Kevin Hanson Editor

For the White River High girls basketball program, the names and faces might change, but the ongoing success story keeps getting told over and over again.

For the 11th time in the past 13 seasons, coach Chris Gibson and his Hornets are headed to a domed stadium to participate in the state basketball tournament.

Nine of the trips came as a member of the Class 3A ranks and now, for the second season, the White River girls are going to the 2A’s big dance.

The state tourney, to be staged in Yakima’s SunDome, opens Thursday

and will wrap up Saturday evening.

The pairings for the Elite Eight were announced Sunday afternoon and, unlike a season ago, the Hornets are not cursed by opening against the topranked team in the state.

Thursday’s foe is the No. 7-ranked Blaine Borderites, a club making its first state appearance since 2004.

Blaine, with a record of 18-5, is led by senior Stefawn Perrin and talented freshmen like Taylor V’Dovec and Breanna Chau. The latter two came up big during Saturday’s victory over Olympic High that shot Blaine into the Elite Eight.

Thursday’s tipoff time is 12:15 p.m.

If the No. 3-ranked Hornet girls defeat Blaine,

White River boys open against Ellensburg

By John Leggett Staff Writer

The White River High boys had just defeated North Thurston 56-37 in Friday’s regional round of the Class 2A state basketball tournament, but Hornet coach Rick Tripp was already contemplating the next step in his Hornets’ dream season.

Friday’s victory in the Sweet 16 round “was only the first leg of our long, arduous journey, because we have a lot more hard work remaining,” said Tripp, who has guided his club to a 21-6 record so far.

With the victory the Hornet boys qualified for the state Class 2A’s Elite Eight, which will be played out Thursday through Sunday at

the SunDome in Yakima.

Pairings for Yakima were determined Sunday afternoon and the Hornets snagged a premier slot, playing Thursday’s final game.

White River will square off against Ellensburg with tipoff time slated for 9 p.m.

If the Hornets win Thursday, they will play at 9 p.m.

Friday against the winner of Thursday’s clash between Lindbergh and Clover Park.

If the Hornets lose Thursday, they will play at 2 p.m. Friday against the Lindbergh/Clover Park loser.

The Yakima tournament is a double-elimination affair, but two victories send a team to the championship game.

In qualifying for the Elite Eight, White River had little trouble with North Thurston.

Pro career next for Maldonado

By John Leggett Staff Writer

Having recently won the regional Gold Gloves competition, Guillermo “Memo” Maldonado – a talented 165-pound amateur boxer who graduated from Enumclaw High School in 2004 – has decided to go professional next month.

A light-heavyweight who moves about a boxing ring with the deft grace of a ballerina but throws sledgehammer punches, Maldonado appears to have the boxing world’s equivalent of the Midas touch – nearly everything he has attempted has turned golden.

The reason could stem from what his parents ingrained into his psyche since early childhood, when he was growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico.

“My folks repeatedly told me that if you are going to do something, never do it halfway. Always give it everything you’ve got,” said Maldonado, whose amateur record is 38-7.

“That is what I like most about boxing, you almost always get

out of it what you put into it,” Maldonado said. “It is simply mind over matter. You push yourself to what feels like your limit and then you go a little beyond that.

“I can’t wait to go pro, because I am going to be getting paid for doing something I am good at and I love to do,” he said. “What could be better than that?”

While supremely confident, Maldonado is not naive enough to think he can be king of the ring forever. So, he is learning a trade by working at Enumclaw Auto Rebuilders in addition to attending auto body classes at Green River Community College, where he earned “Student of the Year” accolades in 2011.

Maldonado was discovered by Buddy Hallowell, who was exercising at the Enumclaw Wellness Center, saw Maldonado working out and recognized his promise and desire.

“Right away I saw the eye of the tiger and heart of a lion in Memo,” said Hallowell. “Greg Haugen, who was then the manager of the Boxing Barn on the Muckleshoot

Guillermo Maldonado works out with trainer Chissie Spencer during a session last week at the Boxing Barn. Photo by John Leggett/To view or buy photos go to www.courierherald.com.

Indian Nation, saw him and he liked his spirit as well.”

Flip the calendar ahead seven years to the present time and Maldonado is being trained by the tough and burly Chissie Spencer, who is currently handling two of the best boxers in the region – Maldonado and his sparring partner Jorge Villa, who is just a bit heavier at 178 pounds and gives his pugilistic pal all he wants and more.

Spencer said the best weapons

in Maldonado’s impressive arsenal are not only his devastating body punches, but also stunning jabs that bring bouts to an end once an opponent drops his hands.

“You can shake off head shots because amateurs wear cushioned helmets to avert serious injury,” Maldonado said. “But you can’t shake off blows to an exposed midsection. Those tend to get your opponent’s attention and leave a lasting impression.”

Maldonado can be poetry in

motion as he bobs and weaves with an internal rhythm as smooth as spun silk. As he has learned boxing technique and honed his skills under the watchful Spencer, Maldonado has become an athletic artist, displaying his flashing, flickering glove arrangements in the boxing ring.

In the eight-team format, two victories sends a squad to the championship finale; two losses, though, sends a team home.

White River earned its Yakima trip Saturday night be defeating Sehome 35-33 at Tacoma’s Mount Tahoma High School. The loserout contest was part of the

regional round of the state tourney, carving the field of 16 in half.

The low-scoring, defensive-oriented struggle was decided in the final dozen seconds. There were just 12 ticks remaining on the game clock when Hornet senior Cassidy France penetrated the defense and nailed a short runner in the

Once again, White River’s stellar guard trio of Jason Tyler, 20 points, Billy Kiel, 12, and Alex Sayler, 10, succeeded in dispelling the notion that having a roster of giants is mandatory for putting a championship team on the court.

“I was really proud of the way our guys finished out

the task of handling the Rams,” Tripp said following Friday’s victory. “I know we can keep the momentum going.”

KEENEY FROM A1 where she was a cook for more than 16 years.

Working as a barmaid, she knew how to handle herself and didn’t take guff from

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 • The Enumclaw Courier-Herald • Page 19 anyone.

“The guys – well, boys – sat there giving me a hard time,” Keeney said. But she would give them a hard time right back.

Keeney and Androsko continued their love of dancing throughout their marriage; in fact, it’s what

they did the night he died in 1962. They had gone out with two female friends to a dance hall and when they returned home, Androsko called Keeney to the bathroom. There, he attempted to say something to his wife before collapsing of a heart attack.

Keeney’s son and grandchildren moved into her home after Androsko’s death, until the early 1970s when she sold the house and moved to Enumclaw.

In the interim, she met and married Lee Keeney, a repair man who fixed her furnace. He too, was a tal-

ented dancer.

“He danced to AC/DC at my sister’s wedding,” VanHoof said.

In addition to dancing, Ruby and Lee also enjoyed going to the casinos to play the slots. Ruby seemed to have an aptitude for hitting $1,000 jackpots, VanHoof

said.

Lee died several years ago and Keeney has since moved to Heritage House in Buckley. She’s built a lasting presence in the community, with five grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren.

strip them, without a legitimate justification, of a right as important as the right to marry,” wrote the majority.

The decision also states that the word marriage provides “state legitimization and societal recognition of their committed relationships” and that denying the use of the word serves no purpose but to “lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians.”

I love that. I love that it points out the reason to deny it is to attempt to lessen the dignity of gay people.

This is a civil rights issue and something that any true “conservative” should be behind. It may be considered socially “liberal” to be pro-equality, but politically speaking, this is a rather conservative decision from what is generally considered to be the most liberal of appeals circuits.

This is a ruling that literally protects individual rights from government intrusion.

This is a victory for freedom and we should all celebrate it.

Simply put: You cannot be anti-same sex marriage and anti-”Big Government” at the same time. Stop trying.

You look silly.

I’ve heard all of the arguments against gay marriage and I find them all to be bigoted piles of horse pucky.

Don’t want a gay marriage (or any marriage for that matter)? Don’t get one. But don’t deny someone else the rights and benefits conferred by such a contract.

Because that’s what marriage really is. It’s a contract between two consenting adults to merge their lives into a single entity. And that’s all the government should be concerned about: enforcing the contract.

That’s why you need lawyers to get out of one, not just your local holy man.

So kudos to the Washington Legislature, especially the six Republicans who went against their party’s establishment to vote for what is right instead of what might be more politically popular.

Thank you for bringing us into the 21st century and recognizing that everyone deserves the opportunity to marry.
