umner High School’s ASB has raised more than $18,000 in donations—not counting money yet to be tallied or subtracting expenses— stemming from last week’s Benefit Night fundraisers for Julie Moltke.

Every year, ASB holds a benefit dinner and a two-night talent show to raise money for one person selected from the community.

Moltke is a Sumner High School graduate who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in her appendix.

Dispute over pool contract makes waves

By Daniel Nash Staff Writer

USA Swimming team South Sound Titans challenged the validity of its contract with Sumner/ Bonney Lake Aquatics to use the pool on Sumner High’s campus.

The private team claimed, at the February Sumner school board meeting, their contract with SBLA guarantees five swim lanes and that they have only been allowed four in practice.

Bonney Lake woman crowned Mrs. Washington Plus America

By Brian Beckley Staff Writer

In her first pageant appearance, Bonney Lake’s Kym Hopen overcame her

nerves and the competition Presidents Day weekend to be crowned the first ever Mrs. Washington Plus America.

Hopen said she was “shocked, to say the least” but looked forward to representing Washington in the national pageant,

scheduled for June in Memphis, Tenn.

This was Hopen’s first pageant. She and her daughter, Raven, both rep-

resented Bonney Lake at the state level pageant.

over our state!”

K y m Hopen said in an email. “I have the utmost Kym Hopen respect for every single contestant who was brave enough to get up on that stage and be the first women to be a part of the Washington Plus America Pageant.”

Kym Hopen was asked to participate by the pageant’s executive director, LaTasha Raines, during a previous pageant in which Raven was competing.

Despite initial concerns about being on stage, Raven helped talk her mother into entering, a decision that proved to be a winning one.

“After participating in the pageant, it is clear that the size of your body or a number on the scale has absolutely nothing to do with the beauty, poise or elegance of a woman,” Hopen said.

Hopen is a Practice Manager for a group of medical practices. She is a graduate of Sumner High School.

The Hopens both viewed the pageant as a way to talk about their anti-bullying platform, an issue that hits close to home for them.

Kym Hopen said she hopes the national pageant will help her and Raven further their platform even more and allow them to get the word out about standtogether.tv, an anti-bullying website.

In addition to supporting her title Hopen also raised monies for two important charities, the Puget Sound American Heart Association and Cherish A Jewel. She has devoted her time to service for the following organizations: her local pet shelter, Relay for Life, Autism Speaks Benefit Pageant, McMillin Grange, and Kiwanis events. When Hopen is not working or serving she is hosting family events and vacationing.

“I am hoping that my new title will open more doors for both Raven and I so that we can continue our fight against bullying,” Kym Hopen said.

Next up is the national competition, June 27-30.

fees FROM 1

A comparison of local impact fees, based on information provided by the city of Bonney Lake. told the council studies have shown that rates in fees in Bonney Lake can justifiably be higher because of the work necessary to the city’s system, which are transitioning from smaller, rural standard to those more in line with a city its size.

Grigsby told the council that reducing sewer system development charges, which help pay for the growth of the city’s system, could lead to a “world of hurt” in the future when cash flow starts to dwindle and improvements are needed.

Though the concept of reducing residential building fees did not gain a consensus on the council, the suggestion of a temporary reduction on commercial fees to spur increased retail development gained widespread support.

The council instructed the administration to work on a proposal regarding commercial fees for discussion later this spring.

and 83 in 2010. While well down from a peak of 225 in 2005, Bonney Lake has still issued the highest number of permits each year since 2005. Puyallup finished second behind Bonney Lake in 2001 and 2010 with 64 and 49 permits issued, respectively.

“We’re the highest, but you look at the numbers and we’re still growing,” Councilmember Mark Hamilton said. “I don’t see residential having a problem right now.”

Hamilton argued that the city should look into reducing commercial building fees to encourage business to move to the city because added businesses bring added sales tax revenues to the city.

“You need to grow the people who will spend the money and the commercial will come,” MintonDavis argued.

Minton-Davis said the city was not collecting much revenue from the fees currently and reducing the fees should spur more building, increasing the amount of money that would be coming into the city.

that a temporary reduction in fees could help to encourage builders and developers fill in some of the approximately 700 approved, unbuilt lots within city limit.

Watson argued the city needs to “relieve the pressure” on builders to get things moving again.

But other councilmembers, such as Jim Rackley, argued that despite an across-the-region reduction in permit numbers, Bonney Lake was still the highest and fees were designed to cover the costs of expanding the system, something that would fall to ratepayers if the charges to developers were reduced.

“We’ve got growth and we’ve had growth when no one else did,” he said, adding that he didn’t believe lowering the fees would affect development in the way it was hoped.

The discussion came two weeks after a presentation before the council

by Dr. Elliot Eisenberg showing the economic effects of new homes to a regional economy.

According to Eisenberg’s presentation, a new home can add $1.3 million to the local economy in the first year and generate nearly $86,000 per year once a family moves in.

During his presentation, Eisenberg noted that Bonney Lake’s fees were high relative to their neighbors.

City Administrator Don Morrison began the discussion Saturday at Midtown Grill with a slide showing Bonney Lake’s total estimated fees to be the highest in the area at $25,059 per house, not including an estimated $3,000 to $5,000 for mandatory fire sprinklers, which the council in 2010 required for all new home construction.

Buckley’s fees were the closest at $20,828, followed

by Puyallup at $16,210 and Sumner at $13,456. Pierce County fees are approximately $2,056, according to the slide.

But when looking at the numbers of permits issued in each municipality, Morrison said they found no correlation between a city’s fees and the number of permits issued.

According to information provided by Bonney Lake, the city issued 75 residential permits in 2011

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,

and has zero expenditures, whereas they have to provide staff for their lessons.”

Ekstrom countered the claim the pool couldn’t survive without the Titans’ patronage with a business plan should they choose not to re-up their contract: Open up two lanes for lap swims at $5 a head during lessons (an apparently popular request among swim student parents), use Friday nights for open swim and private lessons at a $5 open rate and $25 private lesson rate, and add six more six-student classes at $62 a head. The plan would bring in an estimated $2,512. Alternatively, there are other swim clubs willing to take up only three lanes that have approached SBLA, Ekstrom said.

On Friday Feb. 24, Ekstrom provided the Titans her final offer: Three lanes for three hours— at $11.25 per hour—on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, Fridays at $135 plus staff costs for the whole pool, and three lanes for two-and-a-half hours on Tuesdays. The offer would cost the Titans $2,553.69 in March, $2,373.69 in April, and $2,559.30 in May. A $25

suggest they may be preparing to sign on to a new three-lane contract offered

by SBLA manager Diana Ekstrom.

“I would be one to say (Diana’s) done a great job (taking over the pool),” Titans Vice President Todd Atkins said at the school board meeting.

“Unfortunately we have had some negotiation problems.

“Our contract is for five lanes. We have four lanes.

We have not had the option to sit down (and renegotiate).”

Atkins said the Titans would be willing to go down to four lanes if they were able to renegotiate the terms of the contract.

Negotiations have since gone underway; tentatively.

SBLA manager Diana Ekstrom counters the Titans’ practice attendance doesn’t justify the space, and reserving the lanes would make her business model unsustainable by cutting into revenues from in-house swim lessons.

Furthermore, repeatedly late payments on the Titans’

lane lease constitutes a breach of contract on their part, Ekstrom said.

“They didn’t pay on time three out of the six months they have used the pool,” she said. “Plus, there are empty lanes all the time because they have 26 swimmers on their team, whereas I have 144 (swim students).”

Ekstrom’s company was awarded management of the Sumner pool in August, turning the campus facility into a privately operated company. That status grants SBLA a certain amount of sovereignty—school board director Richard Hendricks reminded Atkins that the board did not have the authority to intervene on a contract disagreement— and requires the business to maintain profitability to keep its head above water.

SBLA’s expenses— $13,909—presently exceed its $12,672 income, according to figures given by Ekstrom. The Titans’ rental rate is $2,400 per month.

“We take offense at the implication we’re ‘lowprofit lessons,’” Atkins said. “We’re high profit. We pay $2,400 in, and the pool has to provide zero staff,

Everyone should be allowed happiness 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.

Now “forever” is tangible. We are officially going for it and there’s no backing out now. It’s amazingly liberating Brian Beckley, and exciting to be Reporter starting a new life together.

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 and not getting 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 some-

Letters Writer challenges church and state separation Ever since I can remember there has always been a small but very vocal segment of the population trumpeting the idea of “separation of church and state.” These folks base their belief in this notion on their interpretation of correspondence between President Thomas Jefferson and the members of the Danbury Baptist Church. In their view the result of said correspondence was that government is protected from interference by religion or the church. That now generally accepted interpretation is used by the secular left to protect our schools and other public places from all those religious fanatics.

I have read the First Amendment several times and no matter how careful I am I just cannot find anything about the separation of church and state. As a matter of fact, the only wording I can find is one that protects the church and people of faith from the government intruding into the practice of their religion – not the other way around.

So…enter stage left…President Barack Hussein Obama and his secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sillybillyus…or something, whatever…anyway, imagine the surprise when President Obama announced that under his Obamacare plan employers, to include religious entities, will be required to provide healthcare to their employees to include birth control, contraceptives and even the so-called “abortion pill.”

Now the Catholic Church became very upset about this and started making a lot of fuss about it. Seems they have a problem with providing these “health services” as they violate the tenets of the faith. Well it seems to me that we should all be upset and making a fuss about this because it violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. I ask you, where are all those voices screaming about separation of church and state?

After a bit Barry, oops, I mean the president, realized that he would have to do some damage control ‘cuz folks started saying crazy things like “We are all Catholics now” and making an even bigger fuss. So the president comes out with a great compromise.

Employers will still have to provide these services, but if you are a religious organization, you won’t have to

pay for it…your insurance company will. Yep, those big nasty insurance companies will have to give the services to the employees free of charge to boot! What a deal, huh? I ask you, just how stupid does the president think we are?

Who pays the premiums to the insurance company? Right, the employer does. So, in effect, the employer is still providing those services that they object to on religious grounds. If the organization objects to and doesn’t pay the premiums how fast do you suppose insurance companies will start dropping coverage for faith-based organizations because of the cost of all the free services?

This great compromise brings up a couple of constitutional questions: where is it written in the U.S. Constitution that the president can mandate a private company provide any product or service? Where does he get the power to fine a company that does not comply with his mandate?

The media has been trying, with some success, to get us to think that this is all about contraception and women’s health; don’t buy into that folks. This is about our Constitution

Corner FROM 6 thing that a government is supposed to protect, not take away.

The appeals court agreed.

“The People may not employ the initiative power to single out a disfavored group for unequal treatment and 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

Letter FROM 6 and our basic rights. Here is a refresher of the first for those of you who have not read it in some time.

(Seems that would be you Mr. President)

Wednesday, February 29, 2012 • The BONNEY LAKE & SUMNER Courier-Herald • Page 7 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: a contract between two consenting adults to merge their lives into a single entity. All the government should be concerned about is enforcing the contract. That’s why you need lawyers to get out of one, not just your local holy man.

And as long as marriage continues to be defined as a contract between (any) two consenting adults, all of the arguments about it leading to polygamy or bestiality or any of that are laid bare as just being ignorant and mean.

Even Sen. Pam Roach’s argument a few weeks back that she doesn’t believe the law does enough to protect religious organizations from performing marriag-

es they don’t want to perform is ridiculous. They DO have that protection.

It’s the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In fact, this type of issue is exactly why it exists: to keep government from forcing something on a religion and to prevent religion from forcing something on government.

You are welcome to live your marriage and your life exactly as your holy book tells you, but you can’t force someone else to live by your God’s rules.

That’s what is known in some parts of the world as “shariah law.”

More importantly though, why should government decide who you can and can’t love and spend your life with?

On the flip side, freedom means you don’t have to like it. That is your choice and your opinion.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a

redress of grievances.”

It is past time to wake up my fellow Americans.

While you’ve been sleeping, “The Fundamental Tra nsformat ion of America” has been rolling on. It’s not too late to contact your representatives and senators and tell them

to support the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act. Do a little screaming of you own about the separation of church and state.

And if you do, I honestly think you need to rethink exactly what “land of the free” means to you and then get over yourself.

So kudos to the

Buckley Heritage House resident Ruby Favro-Androsko-Keeney turned 105-yearsold 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.

Growing up—”When taverns opened up at 12 o’clock,” she said—Keeney was fond of dancing. She met her first husband, 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?” she asked.

“Love,” Keeney replied.

Keeney and Androsko dated for a year afterward, a portion of which Androsko spent living with Keeney’s family. Mother Mary

est 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,” Keeney said.

Mother and son made it safe and sound to America, where she had her second son, Frank.

Her first husband passed away and she married Italian immigrant Joe Favro, 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.

ruby FROM 9 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 over the years, including brother Emil “Frog” Raison’s Boulevard Tavern in Renton, the Black Diamond

Bakery, Morganville Tavern, Weyerhauser, and the Rainier State School, 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 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

entire 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 talented dancer.

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

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

Lee died in the mid ‘00s, 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 granchildren.

Sumner Food Bank plans to expand distribution

By Daniel Nash

Sumner Food Bank

Staff Writer

The Sumner Food Bank is expanding its distribution to clients in the coming month. Tuesday night distributions will be added to the weekly roster, and clients will be able to come in for food twice a month instead of only once.

Need for the food bank’s services is growing, Director Tim Tallon said, rising from approximately 175 clients in 2008 to more than 300 in 2011. Many incoming clients don’t have experience receiving outside assistance.

“I had a guy coming in driving an Escalade and wearing a business suit, and my first thought was ‘This guy doesn’t need our services,’” Tallon said. “He said his car was about to be repossessed, his house was in foreclosure; he had a job interview that day, and he literally had to choose between putting gas in the car or stocking his pantry.

“It’s not necessarily appearance that tells a person’s financial picture.”

The food bank, originally established by Sumner Rotary’s purchase of warehouse space, is an independently operated aid organization. It brings in food from sources as varied as WinCo, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Moseby Farms. Its

4The Sumner Food Bank is located at 15625 Main St. E. in Sumner. For more information call 253-863-3793 bulk purchasing power is such that $2 can feed a family of four for three days.

Prior to the distribution expansion, the food bank took clients once a month, and was open Monday, Tuesday and Friday mornings, as well as Thursday evenings 5-7 p.m.

First-time clients must come in with an identification card and proof of residency, even if its something indirect like a utilities bill. However, no one is turned away without food. Out-of-towners will leave with food and a reference to their closest food bank.

Everyone receives butter, meat and a half-gallon of milk. Clients can also select hygiene products, breads, produce, and even pet food.

“One thing I tell people is that this is a food bank (emphasis),” Tallon said. “Its not a handout, it’s nothing to be embarrassed about, it’s a simple business transaction. You take food out when you need it, and when things get better you can put food back in.”

Lions matchup marks end of postseason

By John Leggett Staff Writer

Before the Sumner High boys’ basketball team tussled with the Lynden High bunch Friday night at Mount Tahoma in the regional, loser-out, “Sweet 16” round format of the Class 2A state tournament, a passerby tapped Spartan coach Brett McDaniel on the shoulder to wish him good fortune.

“Thanks, we are going to need some luck against these guys,” McDaniel said, fully aware of how well the Lions had played throughout the Whatcom County League season.

Maybe that’s why it was such a pleasant surprise for McDaniel and the throng

off purple and gold fans in the T-Bird bleachers when the Spartans jumped all over the highly-touted Lions in the first few minutes of the wild encounter.

With more than half of the first quarter expired, the Lions had failed to notch a solitary point and trailed 15-0 as everything was going right for the Spartans.

The Lions came roaring back, though, after Sumner had been out front at the end of the first quarter 19-9. Disaster struck midway through the second stanza as Sumner’s 6-foot, 5-inch senior post Zeb Glissmeyer suddenly had racked up three personal fouls and was yanked from the contest.

SHS Girls Basketball

Lange vital all season

By John Leggett Staff Writer

When the Sumner High girls basketball squad’s campaign came to a close Feb. 20 in a West Central District loser-out game against Fife, it was apparent what a vital cog their 6-foot freshman post Jaime Lange had been all season.

The Spartans fell 51-47 to the Trojans, a team they had beaten twice during the regular season, at Lakes High School. The Spartans finished with a 10-4 regular season record.

Lange did not log a minute of play against Fife, due to an injury sustained two days earlier during a playoff encounter against Kingston High.

Lange was conspicuous in her absence against Fife.

She had been the team’s leading scoring threat and top rebounder on the year.

The spirited Sumner crew soldiered on, though, to make a pretty good game of it, despite going against Fife talent Ciera Pedroni, who was eventually named the SPSL 2A’s MVP. A handful of seasoned players stepped up, with the offensive attack spearheaded by senior Tayler Holtman, who notched 16 points.

Fife went 10-of-15 from the foul line during the fourth frame to put a damper on any comeback designs the Spartans may have had.

“This year’s young team exceeded a lot of people’s expectations,” Sumner coach Robert Thayer said. “When we graduated a dozen seniors at the end of last year, most fans weren’t looking for much out of this less-experienced bunch.”

This year’s accomplishments, particularly the playoff experience, should prove invaluable in coming years,” Thayer added.

After the Lions’ John Shine buried a 3-point bucket from the top of the key with two minutes remaining until intermission, LHS had come all the way back. As Lynden’s players jogged into the locker room at the break, they were confident with a onepoint upper hand as the scoreboard read 34-33.

The Sparts were outscored in the second half 30-22 and saw their season come to an end.

Four Spartans wound up scoring in double figures as the DeVries twins, Dan and Dave, accounted for 26 of Sumner’s final total and Glissmeyer and fellow senior Tyler Salisbury contributed 10 points apiece.

Coming into the big game

SHS Boys Basketball Friday, Sumner appeared to be on somewhat of a roll as it had demolished White River 55-39 at Kent’s ShoWare Center Feb. 20, using a stingy zone defense against the Hornets in the West Central District title tilt. It was SHS’s first 2A district championship crown.

Sumner ended the SPSL 2A regular season as the bridesmaid behind Clover Park with an 11-3 league mark and wound up 21-5 overall.

Hornets qualify for state’s Elite Eight

By John Leggett Staff Writer

WRHS Boys B-Ball

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 thus 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 last game on the season docket.

White River will square off against Ellensburg with tipoff time slated for

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.

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 lane. The Mariners, from Bellingham, had a final opportunity to win, or at least tie the contest, but two last-gasp shots missed their mark.

The win didn’t come without some late drama, as Sehome whittled away at the 31-24 advantage the Hornets had built by the end of the third quarter.

White River managed just two hoops in the final period, one by Sutton Mills before France came up with the game-winner.

The Hornets were paced by leading scorer Kennedy Hobert, who recorded 14 points.

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

By intermission, the Hornets had already doubled up on North Thurston 26-13 and it was apparent the visitors from Lacey were not having one of their better outings.

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, they will play at 5:30 p.m.

Friday against the winner of Thursday’s tussle between East ValleyYakima and W.F. West of Chehalis. If the Hornets fall on Thursday, Friday’s game will be at 10:30 a.m. against the EV-Yakima/W.F. West loser.

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
