The Evergreen Arborist, Dennis Green, offers tips on picking the perfect live tree for your family this holiday season.

Entering into the busy season for food banks everywhere, the folks at Plateau Outreach Ministries and Enumclaw Kiwanis Food Bank have seen an increase in clients coming through their doors but, so far, not an increase in donations.

That has left the cupboards a little bare for the moment.

Today, Wednesday, is the scheduled Thanksgiving pick up for the POM food

bank, but as of last week there were still many empty crates in the storage room, crates usually filled with canned goods.

According to executive director Britt Nelson, the food bank’s selection of staples, especially canned proteins like chicken or tuna, is very low.

Nelson said Northwest Harvest, a statewide food bank distributor that works with than 350 food banks across the Evergreen State, provides food every week, but they

Results FROM 1 Secretary of State, Dahlquist, a Republican, is beating her Democratic challenger Brian L. Gunn by a margin of 62.93 percent to 37.07 percent. Dahlquist earned 34,694 votes to Gunn’s 20,439.

Independent Democrat Hurst also won his race by a large margin, beating Republican challenger Lisa Connors 55.26 percent to 44.74 percent. Hurst garnered 30,220 votes to 24,468 for Connors.

According to the King County Elections site, voter’s in the King County part of the district mirrored the district as a whole, with Dahlquist earning 62.69 percent of the King County Vote. In his race, Hurst picked up 58.05 percent of King County.

In the King County Sheriff’s race, challenger John Urquhart beat Sheriff Steve Strachan 56.74 percent to 42.86 percent.

King County voters also approved with 59 percent a measure to a tax levy for automated fingerprint identification system.

In other races, King County overwhelmingly went to Democrat Jay Inslee in the governor’s race as he outpaced Republican Rob McKenna 61.97 percent to 37.89 percent.

In the hotly contested Attorney General’s race, which pit two King County Councilmen against each other, voters went with Democrat Bob Ferguson over Republican Reagan Dunn by a margin of 64.72 percent to 35.18 percent to help

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 • The Enumclaw Courier-Herald • Page 3 Ferguson win the seat.

King County voters also approved I-502, regarding the legalization of marijuana, by a margin of 63.27 percent to 36.73 percent and backed the right of same sex couples to marry with more than 66 percent of voters approving the measure.

In the only local ballot measure, nearly 60 percent of voters in Black Diamond rejected a change of government measure and will keep a strong mayoral system in the small city.

Statewide, the races were much closer, but both measures passed.

King county voters, however, narrowly rejected I-1240, regarding the creation of charter schools, with 51.54 percent of King County voters casting their ballot in the negative.

Statewide, however, the measure appears to have passed, but is still very close as ballots continue to be counted.

In federal races, King County voters broke in large margin for Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who with 68.57 percent of the vote more than doubled the total received by Republican opponents Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, who collected 28.9 percent.

Voters also re-elected Senator Maria Cantwell, who took 71.95 percent of the King County vote to beat Republican challenger Michael Baumgartner.

Ballots are still being counted in the election, as results and mail-in ballots continue to trickle in, but numbers are not expected to change too much at this point.

The election will be certified Nov. 27.

Food FROM 1 have been focused on fresh foods, not meat or milk.

Northwest Harvest provides food at a rate of about $1.50 per pound to food banks, allowing them to fill many of the holes on their shelves, though not all.

Nelson also said the large, seasonal numbers of people they usually see have started early this year.

In the past two weeks alone, Nelson estimated Plateau Outreach Ministries has served nearly 100 families from all over the region. That’s up from around 50 or 60 in an average week in July.

Not only are more people in need as the weather has turned cold, Nelson said the food bank’s overall numbers this year are also up from last year. According to the their records, Plateau Outreach Ministries gave out about 150,000 pounds of food in 2011. So far this year, they’ve already given out more than 100,000 pounds, and the food bank was closed in September.

A couple of blocks south on Cole Street, Vicky Stratton paints the same bleak picture.

As assistant director of the Enumclaw Kiwanis Food Bank, Stratton knows exactly how many folks look forward to a little help putting food on the table.

During October, Stratton and others at the all-volunteer food bank passed out 14,520 pounds of food, helping 1,754 people. That number included 871 youngsters from birth to 18 years of age.

“It’s trending upward all the time,” Stratton said the the need for assistance.

How to help:

The food banks are in need of the following items: • Peanut Butter • canned meats (tuna, chicken, etc...)

• cereal • soup • chili • pasta • baby food • Canned vegetables Last month, there were 34 new families on the books looking for food.

At the same time, donations of cash and food are down.

“It’s been really low this year,” Stratton said, blaming a lingering recession for people’s inability to donate.

Enumclaw Kiwanis Food Bank contracts with Food Lifeline for some of its supplies and, as part of that arrangement, can only help residents living within the Enumclaw School District boundaries.

Supplies come from Food Lifeline, but Stratton also credits Safeway, QFC and Grocery Outlet for providing much-needed food.

Enumclaw Kiwanis Food Bank is open to clients from 9 to 11:45 a.m. every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, except for an annual closure the last two weeks of the year.

NEWS BRIEFS Saturday fundraiser will benefit Wilkeson skate park Some cash is already on the books, a state grant looks promising and a Saturday event will generate additional funds for those hoping to see a skate park built in downtown Wilkeson.

To help build the pot of money, boosters are organizing Saturday’s dinner-auction at the Wilkeson Eagles hall. A pork loin meal will be served from 4 to 6 p.m., to be followed by both silent and live auctions.

The evening will be capped with a karaoke session.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for those younger than 10. Tickets will be sold at the door and are available in advance by contacting Trisha Summers at 253-2552439.

Summers notes that debit and credit cards are generally not accepted at Wilkeson fundraisers, but will be taken Saturday. Volunteers from Mount Rainier Bank are making the technology available and will be helping with the event.

The idea of a skate park in the small town originated with Wilkeson youngsters, who pitched the notion to members of the Town Council. Eventually, plans took hold and efforts are now in full swing.

Approximately $2,000 is already on the books, thanks to private donations, the collection of aluminum cans and the money raised by kids who sold pop and goodies during the town’s Handcar Weekend festivities.

Organizers are also hoping to land a grant. The skate park project is high on a state agency’s priority list, but nothing will be certain until the Legislature passes a budget and allocates funds during the early part of 2013.

Check out the artists during downtown Wine Walk Downtown Enumclaw will be home to the third annual Winter Wine Walk, a Saturday evening event sponsored by the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce.

A limited number of tickets are available for the Wine Walk, which will run from 5

to 9 p.m. The cost is $30, which includes a Riedel wine glass and 10 tasting tickets; a $5 discount is available by visiting one of the participating merchants. Find a list of merchants and purchase tickets by visiting the chamber website, www.enumclawchamber.com.

In all, there will be 24 Washington wines in 24 Enumclaw businesses.

In conjunction with the Wine Walk, the city will present 12 visual artists who will display their work in participating businesses. Artists have agreed to show their artwork and participate in a People’s Choice contest.

Wine Walk participants will receive ballots at the chamber office that lists the participating artists and the stores in which they and their artworks are located. Ballot boxes will be available for drop-off at three locations: Park Center Hotel, Xpert PC Plus and Collectibles on Cole.

Wine Walkers will find artists and their work inside the following stores: Nancy Clendaniel and Glory Cancro at Enumclaw Music; Mary Janosik and WyldBill McCorkle at Park Center Hotel; Carol and Bruce Smith at Xpert PC Plus; Shelly Cohen, Dr. David Bishop and Judy Prenovost at Collectibles on Cole; Lorrie Maras at Mountain Aire Mercantile; Randal Thomasson at The Sequel Used Books; and Earnest Thomas at Creekside of Enumclaw.

Votes will be tallied and the first-place winner will be invited to have a personal exhibit of their artwork at City Hall’s Gallery 2013.

Artwork will be for sale dung the Wine Walk but must stay in the display throughout the event. Artwork can be picked up at the conclusion of the evening.

Public invited to open house Dec. 1 at Enumclaw library The Enumclaw Library will host an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 1.

The event is an opportunity to patrons to learn about enhanced library services and building upgrades.

Refreshments will be served and music is planned.

According to charging papers, Fraser is alleged to have had repeated sexual contacts with the girl during 2005 and 2006.

Fraser entered a plea of not guilty on April 5, during a King County Superior Court arraignment hearing.

There was an identification issue with the front-page photo in the Nov. 7 edition of The Courier-Herald.

ENUMCLAW POLICE SHOTS HEARD: The sound of gunshots prompted a call to police at 6:25 a.m. Nov. 6 from a Larsen Avenue resident. Police responded and determined it may have come from duck hunters in the area, though none were spotted.

VEHICLE PROWLS: The faceplate from an auto stereo was taken during a vehicle prowl that was reported the morning of Nov. 5. The incident occurred on Lowell Avenue.

There was no damage to the vehicle and there were no suspects. The morning of Nov. 4, a Kibler Avenue resident saw a woman rip open the top of a neighbor’s Jeep and taken something off the dashboard. Aside from the damage to the vehicle, a cell phone was stolen.

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY: Police were asked Nov. 5 to provide extra patrol in a Schmid Street neighborhood due to suspected drug-related activity. A citizen reported a vehicle had pulled up to a nearby home, a woman walked out and handed over a plastic bag and the vehicle departed.

BROKEN WINDOW: Police were told Nov. 5 of a window that had been broken at a Semanski Street address.

Damage was estimated at $150. There were no immediate suspects.

NO SALE: Police responded shortly before midnight Nov. 5 to a Roosevelt Avenue business following the report of a disturbance.

An employee noted there had been an intoxicated customer who was attempting to buy items without any money. Nothing was stolen and the customer had departed.

DISTURBANCE: An officer was called at 3:14 a.m. Nov. 4 to a Warner Avenue apartment following a report of a tenant causing a disturbance, yelling and screaming. Police responded and contacted the tenant’s brother. Staff at a crisis service also were contacted and they were going to intervene and attempt to resolve the situation.

IN PROGRESS: Police responded at 3:23 a.m. Nov. 4 to a location on state Route 164, called to assist the King County Sheriff’s Office with a burglary in progress. A suspect had left the scene prior to officers’ arrival, but information was provided about a possible location of the suspect. The suspect was soon taken into custody by county authorities.

ARREST WARRANT: A subject arrived in the police station lobby the afternoon of Nov. 4, intending to visit an inmate. It was determined the visitor was wanted on a Maple Valley warrant and he was arrested.

THANK YOU Plateau Outreach Ministries is so thankful to this community for their support and generosity! More than 300 people were in attendance and $30,000 was raised at our Pasta with a Purpose dinner and auction Oct. 27.

This is the eighth year that High Point Village has sponsored the event and provided the meal. This is our first year at the Enumclaw High School commons, which was donated by the Enumclaw School District. This venue allowed us to grow from 20 tables last year to 40 tables this year.

Because of this sponsorship, all donations from the event go directly to support the services we provide assisting families here on the Plateau. Attendees really represented a cross section of the community with churches, businesses, service groups and elected officials all represented. Enumclaw Rotary members filled nearly a third of the tables.

The auction committee, led by Kim McKeighen, transformed the commons into an amazing 1950s atmosphere. There were poodle skirts and lettermen’s jackets, a soda stand with Coke and Sprite in oldtime glass bottles, and 1950s decorations throughout.

The silent auction provided a variety of baskets and items that were

donated by churches and business throughout the community. The live auction desserts were a hit, with the mayor’s pie bringing in top dollars.

Our gratitude to this community is really a pass-through from those families we serve. It is humbling to receive a tearful “thank you” from a senior citizen for a sack full of food on food bank day. I think for most of us, we have no idea how difficult it is to ask for help and how much it means to have a welcoming place to come.

I wish that all of our generous donors could receive one of these tearful hugs. They would know instantly how much their support means to us and to those we serve.

State measures will step on federal toes Is everyone ready to breathe out a collective sigh of relief after the election? Yeah? Good.

As nice as it is to have everything done and over with (sort of, considering our state election isn’t certified for another two weeks), the stress we all went through is important. Democracy should be stressful; the stress proves the process matters. Otherwise, we’d be a nation of Yes Men and nodding, empty heads.

Don’t kick back just yet, though: the state had two measures on the ballot with at least potential significance to the federal agenda: Referendum 74 and Initiative 502.

Referendum 74, Daniel Nash affirming marriage Staff Writer rights to same sex couples, will probably be the lesser national issue despite its ideologically divided debate. Washington was one of three states to legalize gay marriage; meanwhile, voters in Minnesota defeated a ban on same-sex marriages. On Monday, the Washington Post reported that African-Americans and Latinos—two demographics that have historically opposed marriage equality legislation—showed majority support for gay unions in exit polls.

This is just the way public opinion has shifted. A whole generation of young voters were barely ‘tweens when the

Hungering for some cooperation Have you had enough of slanted political views, slander and stubborn, self-righteous partisanship? I have.

I’m glad elections are done for at least a year. It seems what Americans are hungry for is cooperation and compromise between the political parties in the nation’s Congress and the state and local governments for the good of the nation. What most of us really would like to see is a sense of balance and moderation.

King Solomon, king of ancient Israel in about 900 B.C., advised his readers in the book of Ecclesiastes to “avoid extremes.” Socrates, Confucius and Buddha all came to that conclusion at about the same

In Focus Rich Elfers Columnist

time in history in the 5th century B.C. This occurred even though Socrates lived in Greece, Buddha in India and Confucius in China.

All three great thinkers came to the conclusion that there needed to be balance in human affairs.

Socrates called it the Golden Mean,

Buddha called it the Middle Way and Confucius’ thoughts became known as Yin and Yang. They all have a common thread: humans should seek balance and moderation in all aspects of their lives. This is not an easy concept for us humans to practice because by nature we tend to go to extremes.

The examples of this in history are ample. I will give two examples from our modern period: Post World War I Germany suffered runaway inflation where money became so inflated that it was cheaper to burn bundles of Deutschmarks than it was

He’s fond of the nostalgic stuff.

From time to time, a number of my loyal readers have referred to me as a local “gin mill historian.” It’s a title I’ve accepted with some humility, but only after paying homage to Toby’s brother, Howie Larson. It was Howie, you see, who gave me most of my information on regional taverns – not only the cold facts, but the colorful atmospheres and humorous anecdotes that only his first-hand, drunken observations could have

furnished – and with his death much of this valuable legacy is gone forever. (For that matter, he was a living testimony to Enumclaw’s history in

general, especially its seamy side.)

Howie was always quick to point out that, during the past 40 years, our region lost some important and unique, tiny, isolated and rustic, rural watering holes. Despicable as many local residents felt these old venerable saloons were, prior to their demise such places had survived nearly 100 years and played a significant role in our past.

One of the earliest settlers in the Lake Sawyer area was Carl M. Hanson, who emigrated from Sweden with two of his sons, Axel G. and Charles S. Hanson. Carl owned a sawmill in Sweden and came to the U.S. in 1883. Having learned of the vast timber resources in Washington he secured a contract to clear a tract of land in Seattle and spent a year at that task. He then filed a claim on 160 acres on northeast Lake Sawyer, cleared five acres, and proved up the claim. For a few years he worked at the coal mines in Black Diamond, but then built a sawmill on Lake Wilderness. In 1897, the Hanson family purchased the business of the White River Mill in Enumclaw and changed the name to the White River Lumber Company. The company grew and prospered.

CORNER FROM 6 “metrosexual” fad swept America and every light-hearted movie had a “sassy gay friend” in the cast. And as offensively Mammy-esque as those character depictions are, they helped contribute to a culture of acceptance. More voters can probably say they had at least one openly gay friend or acquaintance in high school, humanizing the issue in their formative years and influencing their choices come election time.

The odd thing about the past decade’s gay marriage debate is that it’s been— and continues to be—a war of words.

Or rather the one word, “marriage.”

National and Washington state debate swung in favor of “everythingbut-marriage” civil unions years ago, and the debate shifted to the religious distinction of marriage.

“What people do in the privacy of their own home is their business, but a marriage is defined by the Bible as a covenant between a man and a woman.

We don’t want to stop these people from being together, but they simply can’t have what we have. It’s not so bad: They’ll be separate but—wait for it—equal!”

Ignoring for a moment that marriage existed in ancient cultures Before the Common Era, and ignoring that the marriage rite exists in Islam, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc… if the definition of “marriage” is religiously monopolized, why is it a matter of political debate at all? If the issue is truly religious, the easy solution would be for government to get out of the marriage business and instead recognize romantic unions of all stripes as “civil unions,” allowing couples to define their marriage through private

Wednesday, November 14, 2012 • The Enumclaw Courier-Herald • Page 7 ceremony.

Perhaps at its core, the argument against same sex marriage isn’t about marriage at all: it’s about strengthening fundamental Christian dominance in civic discourse.

A person who believes one religion should have a more direct influence on the laws of the land, and says so directly, is going to meet equally direct opposition. Our Constitution is fairly clear cut when it comes to keeping government out of religion (For the protection of the people’s private religious beliefs. Some argue religion can still influence government, but the problem is that you quickly enter a chicken-and-egg question of influence).

But if that same person can convince his opponents to concede that marriage—a legal partnership that governments already have a hand in—is a religious issue, he’s set a precedent and shifted the frame of debate.

Far more interesting is how Initiative 502 will play into the Federal government’s stance on marijuana. Not to discount the significance of same sex marriage and equal rights to countless couples, but that’s a war of words crawling to a foreseeable conclusion; drug enforcement has a multi-billion dollar infrastructure on the line.

Despite an early first-term promise

by President Obama to respect state stances on medical marijuana, the past four years saw continued high-profile Drug Enforcement Administration raids on Washington cannabis dispensaries, as well as in the other medical pot states. And the state remained hands off because, well, its affirmative defense law is hands off.

But 502 is a different animal entirely.

Washington, as of Dec. 6, will have decriminalized marijuana for adult rec-

reational use. And, if the plan holds together, our state liquor control board will roll out a state agriculture and retail system for providing a legal supply. That puts us—as well as Colorado—in direct opposition to the Federal government.

It’s an opposition that, no question about it in my mind, is going to come to legal blows in the near future. Will Washington be a spark that ignites a new national agenda, or a failed experiment.

I can’t help but relate the issue to one of my favorite comedy bits. Sketch group The Whitest Kids U Know marked the final season of their television series by dedicating the second half of each episode to an ongoing saga titled “The Civil War on Drugs.”

The story followed two antebellum Southern stoners who mistakenly believe the Civil War is being fought over the legal status of marijuana. They decide to wage a campaign to end the violence and save their favorite vice.

Traveling across the country on foot, they encounter Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, lead an incompetent platoon and unwittingly collect fame and fortune as renegade “soldiers.” At war’s end, President Abraham Lincoln himself bestows honors on the pair when they accidentally reveal they’ve conducted their campaign on a misunderstanding.

Bewildered, the fictionalized Lincoln responds, “Of course marijuana is legal!

It’s a plant that grows out of the ground.

I don’t care what you do with it. What’s wrong with you?”

It may be funny in that context, but this is going to be a real and serious legal debate in our near futures, so don’t get too comfortable in your post-election bliss. There’s still plenty of room for civic stress.

We Know What Birds Like

WALLY FROM 6 way meant to demean our current bars and lounges.

Like you, I enjoy the Firehouse, Rendezvous, Crystal, Yella Beak and a host of other bars scattered hither and yon across the Plateau. However, many of these familiar places are similar, just variations of typical suburban bars you find all over the U.S. But, as Howie maintained, this wasn’t true of the old Kangley Tavern. Unlike any other saloon that exists around here today, the Kangley Saloon and the Kangley general store were both housed in one building, separated only by an open doorway. The only similar dual occupancy I ever ran across anywhere in America was in the bayous of Louisiana. Tightly clutching their pennies, children would anxiously await an ice cream cone at the grocery counter while peeking rather apprehensively into the dark shadows and dusty amber lights of the adjoining room, eavesdropping on the boisterous laughter.

The Kangley burned down long ago. For some uncanny reason, during its last few years the place earned a reputation for Halloween parties. Indeed, at one such brawl, I ran across a dude who was so elegantly and convincingly dressed in female attire he would have been envied in the finest transvestite circles. How do you account for something like this in a conservative, rural area more than 35 miles from Seattle’s gay clubs?

Around the Palmer area there used to be a delightful little dump called The Dirty Shame. I’ve never been sure what boundaries outline Palmer and perhaps the “community” – what there was of it – was defined mostly by the tavern. The Shame burned down in early 1984 and the scandalous stories about drunken coal miners, tender-hearted whores and various infidelities were incinerated with it. And believe me when I say this place was a dump. Its sorry condition must have escaped the state’s Health Department owing to some kind of grandfather clause.

Both these places had a rare and wonderful ambiance that set them apart. Today, there are very few such saloons left anywhere around here, though the Wagon Wheel in South Prairie and the City Hall Saloon in Cumberland have a touch of this ancient atmosphere.

Just a touch.

But the best existing example of such a historic tavern is the Carbonado Saloon in – surprisingly – Carbonado. So, if you think you’d enjoy a brew in a first-class anachronism from coal mining days, you might want to check it out. But do so in the immediate future because God only knows how much longer this place will last before it also burns down or goes through a major renovation.

Pondering plastic: just a few facts Use of plastic is prevalent.

It is the storage method of choice, be it bins or bags.

But there’s more to plastic than just water bottles and electronics casings. Find out how much you know about plastic.

1. True or False: Plastic can be found in carpeting and clothing.

True. Plastic goes beyond the traditional uses for this material. Plastic fibers are even used in clothing and carpeting, plus the dyes used to color these items.

Therefore, recycling clothing and carpeting is just as important as putting your used plastic canisters in the recycling bin.

2. If you had to choose a type of “safe” plastic that does not transmit harmful chemicals into foods or beverages, what would it be: polycarbonate, polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride?

Polyethylene products marked #4 or #2 have not been found to leach unhealthy chemicals into your foods and beverages.

3. True or False: All plas-

tic resins can be recycled.

False. The number stamped on the bottom of the product tells you the type of resin, but unfortunately not all plastic can be recycled.

Often municipal recycling programs will collect all plastics and then sort them at the recycling facility.

Those that can’t be recycled are discarded with the rest of the trash.

4. From what material is plastic made: petroleum, coal, or wood?

Petroleum. Plastics are largely made from the byproducts of petroleum refining.

5. True or False: There’s now an all-natural plastic that can be grown.

True. Products can be made from polyactic acid, a material made from a variety of plants, such as sugar cane, corn and potatoes.

Yes, it is a bit early to think about Christmas. The pumpkin season just ended, Thanksgiving is lurking around the corner and plastic trees are already being displayed in stores.

But America’s Christmas tree farmers are just beginning to get warmed up. They produce a true “real green” product that will create jobs, is grown on plantations in the USA and is recyclable.

Puget Sound Christmas tree farmers and local retail lots will be offering a wide variety of species. To help select your favorite tree, the characteristics of the more popular species are listed below.

Douglas fir: This tree is generally available as a sheared tree and is the most common species found on tree lots. It has a nice fragrance and a medium-to-good shelf life. Because of the thick, bushy crowns, they do not lend themselves to large or heavy decorations.

This species is the easiest to grow because it is relatively problem-free. It requires seven to eight years to mature as a Christmas tree.

Noble fir: This species is considered the Cadillac of Christmas trees. It grows in a more open pattern, has stout branches, luxurious green needles, a long shelf life and has a nice fragrance.

It is popular with families that have large or heavy ornaments.

It is the most expensive tree because it takes eight to 10 years to mature and is the most difficult species to grow.

is separated, fermented, dehydrated and then crystallized to form polymers similar to plastic.

6. How long is it estimated to take plastic to decompose?

Experts surmise it can take 1,000 years or more for plastic to begin to decompose, but no one knows for certain. Plastic bags can take 10 to 20 years if exposed to adequate sunshine and air.

7. Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every: minute, hour, or day?

Hour. It’s important to recycle those bottles because they may be able to be turned into things like trash cans, park benches, playground equipment,

Dennis Tompkins Columnist

Grand fir: This sheared tree is the most fragrant of the native species. It has an attractive needle that makes it a popular choice as a flocked tree.

Grand fir trees require eight to nine years to grow and have a medium shelf life.

Fraser fir: This North Carolina native has strong branches that will hold heavier ornaments. The needles have a pleasant fragrance and a long shelf life comparable to a noble fir.

Fraser fir trees are difficult to grow because of the many pests that threaten them. They require eight to 10 years before they are ready for harvest.

Norway and blue spruce trees: These are generally available only at chooseand-cut farms.

They will hold heavy decorations.

Some consumers think they are “child and pet proof ” because of the stiff, prickly needles.

Spruces require eight to nine years to mature as Christmas trees and have a medium shelf life.

Enumclaw water polo team takes seventh

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Bouncing back to take a Saturday afternoon victory over Puyallup, the Enumclaw High boys garnered a seventh-place team trophy at the state water polo championships.

The state tournament’s final games were played at Curtis High.

Having lost a pair of games Friday, the Hornets slid into Saturday’s battle for seventh and eighth place against the

Vikings, a team the Hornets had defeated twice earlier in the season. The outcome was much the same as before, with Enumclaw on the winning end of a 10-6 score.

It was a quartet of seniors who led the way in the tourney finale, with leading scorer Bennon VanHoof slamming home four goals. Thomas Petersen contributed three goals, Mason Culp had two and Carson Lanphere added one.

Saturday night, Bellevue High showed last year’s state championship was no

Hornet swimmers tackle state’s best Davenport breaks school record in breaststroke for second time in two weeks

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Divers Maria Blad and Nikki Wilson picked up team points for Enumclaw High, as did

Bella Davenport in the 100-yard breaststroke, during last weekend’s Class 3A state swim and dive championships.

The state meet was staged Friday a nd Saturday at the King

County Aquatics Center in Federal Way. Enumclaw was represented in eight events during the two-day meet, eventually totaling 14 points and tying for

fluke, adding a 2012 title to its impressive resume.

Friday’s state tournament action hadn’t gone nearly as well for Enumclaw High, which lost to Auburn Mountainview 8-5 not long after getting swamped by Newport 16-2. Newport went on to claim third-place honors and Mountainview wound up sixth.

Tournament play began Nov. 7 and saw Enumclaw High open with a 12-11 victory over Lakes, followed by a 20-4 loss to the tough Bellevue bunch.

24th place among the 35 teams.

Both Blad and Wilson survived the preliminary diving rounds and made their way to the finals, placing ninth and 15th, respectively.

Davenport was the only swimmer to make the finals, but she made the most of the opportunity. She clocked a time of 1 minute, 9.89 seconds to establish a school record in the breaststroke, eclipsing the

Against Lakes, Petersen led the Hornet scoring with 5 goals, VanHoof added four and Will Cooper, Culp and Brandon Butler chipped in with one each. Against Bellevue, VanHoof had two goals and Shay Larsen and Mitchell Petellin added one apiece.

This marked the third consecutive appearance in the state tournament for Enumclaw High, which took home a third-place trophy in 2010. After going 11-3 in league play this season, the team finished 19-11-1.

school-record time she had posted a week earlier during the West Central District meet.

Davenport also had qualified for state in the 200-yard individual medley, but her preliminary-heat time of 2:21.64 wasn’t quite enough to get her into the finals.

Katie Larrea had qualified for the state meet in two events as well, producing preliminary times of 58.09 in the 100 freestyle and 26.31 in the

50 freestyle.

Also representing EHS at the state meet were three relay teams. The 200 freestyle relay team consisted of Allie Larrea, Hannah Simurdak, Jamie R itzdorf and Carlie Cairnes. Making up the 400 freestyle relay were Allie Larrea, Katie Larrea, Bailey Sexton and Davenport. Swimming the 200 medley relay were Sexton, Davenport, Simurdak and Katie Larrea.

Third time is no charm for White River volleyball

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

A third straight appearance in the Class 2A state volleyball tournament didn’t go nearly as well as the White River High girls had hoped. The Hornets lost their first two matches Friday and made a hasty exit from the state field of 16 teams.

The Hornets, guided by coach Strydar Argo and counting just three seniors on the roster, suffered a pair of 3-0 losses.

The tournament opener provided a

mighty challenge for White River, which was paired against a Selah team that advanced to the Final Four and eventually went home with a third-place trophy.

The Vikings from the Yakima Valley sent White River into the loser’s bracket with a 25-14, 25-12, 25-10 win.

In a loser-out match later Friday, White River was bounced by Sehome High’s Mariners 25-15, 26-24, 25-18.

White River had entered the state tournament as the No. 5 seed from the West Central District.

EHS soccer girls fall in 3A tourney opener

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

A talented foe awaited the Enumclaw High girls in the opening round of the Class 3A state soccer tournament – an opponent that hadn’t lost a game all season.

The record remained

unblemished for the Mount Spokane Wildcats, who knocked off the Enumclaw Hornets 2-1 in the tourney opener. The loss ended the season for EHS. The game was played Nov. 6 on the campus of Spokane Falls Community College.

On paper, Enumclaw

entered the fray as a decided underdog. The Hornets took a 13-5 record to Spokane and had earned the sixth and final seed from the previous week’s bi-district tournament.

Mount Spokane had claimed a Greater Spokane League championship, then earned district and regional titles, on the way to an 18-0 record and a No. 2 statewide ranking.

Still, the hard-fought contest was just inches shy

Williams honored by state coaches

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Longtime White River High coach Mike Williams will be among the honorees during a Saturday evening ceremony hosted by the Washington State Baseball Coaches Association.

The organization sponsors its annual Hall of Fame banquet in conjunction with the Seattle Mariners with a luncheon at Safeco Field.

Williams will be receiving the Don Freeman Award. According to a

WSBCA press release, the award “goes to a coach who is doing good things, is a member of the association and carries himself in a fashion that emulates the career of former Prairie (High School) coach and 1996 inductee Don Freeman.”

Keeping things in baseball terms, Williams said news of the Freeman Award “totally came out of left field for me.

“I am so shocked that other coaches across the state know what we have been trying to accomplish

here. I feel like it is some validation for all the time spent coaching.”

Williams is a White River alum, having graduated in 1984 before heading off to play baseball at Big Bend Community College and Central Washington University. He returned home and coached the White River Middle School team to a championship in 1988 and headed the White River High program in 1989. He then made stops in Yelm and Enumclaw before taking over the White River program for good in 1997.

During his 17 years as a head coach Williams had built a record of 199-169 and led his teams to 13 playoff appearances. Along the way, there have been four league championships and one appearance in the state tournament; that came in 2002, when the Hornets placed fifth. He has earned league Coach of the Year

Out with the old and moldy, in with the bulbs The second week of November is my favorite week to plant bulbs. By now there is no use putting up with the water-logged geraniums, frost-bitten petunias and other dying annuals in your beds and pots, so it’s out with the old and moldy and in with beautiful bulbs.

If you’re a lazy gardener like me, you can do things the easy way with these five bulb-planting tips: Use a big shovel, dig a wide hole.

I don’t bother with a hand trowel or bulb planter because I like my tulips, daffodils and hyacinths to bloom in big happy families, crowed close together for broad sweeps of spring

color. This look is easiest to achieve with a shovel. Pull up the annuals, then dig into the soft soil creating holes at least 1 foot by 1 foot wide and 6 to 7 inches deep.

The general rule of green thumb is to plant your bulbs three times as deep as their width, so setting daffodils and tulips 6 inches underground is deep enough. Go ahead and cram 15 or 20 bulbs into the same hole.

Make a blooming lasagna with layers of bulbs and soil.

I run out of vacant spots to add my bulbs even after pulling up the annu-

als. This is when I add a layer of soil on top of the large bulbs and then pile in smaller bulbs like crocus, anemone and snowdrops.

These smaller bulbs go into the same planting hole as the deeper-planted tulips, daffodils and hyacinths.

This way you get bulbs that bloom in shifts.

Treat your tulips like annuals.

My life became so easy once I accepted that tulips do not want to come back year after year in my garden. Blame the voles, my soil, too much summer

water or the overcrowding in the planting hole, but once you accept that tulips will be beautiful the first spring after planting and ugly or nonexistent after that, then adding tulip bulbs to your landscape every fall becomes a lovely way to celebrate the change of seasons. A few tulip bulbs cost less than a latté and right now springblooming bulbs are on sale.

Just grow for it.

Many happy returns with loyal little dwarfs.

I have more than seven varieties of dwarf bulbs in my garden and they all return year after snow white year. The secret is to put these small bulbs in well-drained soil away from a sprinkler system that would keep the soil moist all summer. Bulbs need to dry out and go dormant to

return or naturalize. Têteà-tête and February Gold dwarf daffodils, all types of crocus, snowdrops and wind flowers are some of the short but dependable spring bloomers that flower even in the cool and shady parts of my garden. They really put on a show if I remember to bait for slugs.

Fill your pots with leftover bulbs.

There’s no need to have sad-looking patio pots and window boxes in March and April. Yank out the annuals and replant with bulbs now. Deeper pots can handle the larger bulbs that like at least 6 inches of soil on top of their heads.

Window boxes and small pots can accommodate the small or minor bulbs that will bloom when planted just 2 inches deep.

Remember that a bulb is a prepackaged flower

Our goals should be to hear that sincerity, and begin to listen for areas of agreement. Focusing on our dif-

Creekside puts emphasis on ‘resort retail’

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Looking around the expansive space she has turned into Creekside of Enumclaw, owner Penny Larsen says she was attempting to create “a real resort-y, Aspen kind of feel.”

The 7,000 square feet that formerly housed Suburban Soul is now home to every-

thing from jewelry to backpacks, makeup to hiking boots.

Larsen’s goals were to provide a “resort retail” atmosphere while also carrying lines of merchandise that weren’t solely for those with expensive tastes.

The end result, she said, is a selection that is “very woodsy, outdoorsy” in nature. It’s an approach, she

said, that should appeal to both locals and visitors to Enumclaw.

Her clothing selection includes evening apparel, coats, fleeces, parkas and everyday wear.

The active type can find hiking poles, tents, snowshoes and goggles.

Upstairs, there are fresh pastries and a coffee bar, and a wine bar will be

included as soon as all the hoops are cleared with the state of Washington.

Larsen, who took a break from the corporate world to launch Creekside of

Enumclaw, will operate her store from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

An exception will be made during the holiday season,

when she will be open on Sundays.

The store at 1335 Cole St. can be reached at 360-8255026. A website, Larsen said, is on the way.

Top honors earned for salmon Daniel Nash Staff Writer

Buckley food entrepreneur Steve Shindle, founder of Steve’s “Hot” Smoked Cheese & Salmon, won the title for “Best Smoked Salmon in the Pacific Northwest” at a state competition. Shindle won in the professional division of the Salmon Tales celebration’s Smoked Salmon Contest in Westport.

“Winning that honor was worth going

down there,” Shindle said. “And I can use it for my business and advertising.”

He attributed the win to his use of killfresh salmon, a pre-smoke dry rub, and a refusal to brine or use liquid smoke.

Shindle has smoked cheese and salmon for five decades, but he made it a full-time business in the past decade. He has five contractors working with him.

He can be reached at 253-632-5537 or oldsmokey05@msn.com.

trees FROM 8 Where to Find Trees To enjoy a fun experience with the family, visit a local choose and cut farm.

Locations and tree information can be found on the Puget Sound Christmas Tree Association website, www.pscta.com.

Many nurseries, stores and charity groups will offer trees at retail lots.

Proper Tree Care Once home, cut onequarter inch off the butt and place the tree in a water stand. The stand should be large enough to hold at least one gallon of water after the tree is placed in it. Check the water level daily. A typical 6-foot tree can drink one gallon of water each day and remain fresh for two to three weeks.

Not all trees will be salable. Some will die while others may be damaged by insects or diseases before they reach harvest size.

For example, of 1,000 trees planted, 900 to 950 Douglas firs may be salable. However, only 700 to 800 nobles may be marketable because of losses to the above factors. Therefore, a grower needs to receive more money for nobles than Douglas firs to make them profitable to grow.

Do Trees Really Cost So Much?

One interesting way to view prices is to look at how much a tree costs and how long it can be enjoyed by a family compared to other activities.

For example, if you pay $30 for a Douglas fir or $60 for a noble, they will bring joy and good smells to your home for two or more weeks. If you spend $30 to feed a family of four

When viewed in that perspective, trees are a pretty good bargain for the time that they bring enjoyment to millions of families.

CHURCH FROM 18 it around as though it were our own actions or even some law of nature which got us out of the jam or solved our problem. When thanksgiving is lacking in our lives, we don’t allow God to be God, but rather we take God’s place. Giving thanks is inversely related to pride and selfrighteousness – if we have a high degree of pride and view God’s blessings to us as my gifts, my belongings, my talents, my abilities, then we will be hindered in being able to be thankful. But if we have a humble spirit, recognizing that all we are and all we have, and our very life itself are the gifts of God, then we are prepared to have an attitude of gratitude, and thanksgiving will be as much a part of our lives and prayers as our cries to God for help.

So, may all of our lives – not just this special season of Thanksgiving – be filled with an attitude of gratitude. And may we all allow that perspective to spill out from ourselves to all those around us as well

A Special Thanks From

PLATEAU OUTREACH MINISTRIES

We extend our gratitude to sponsors and donors for their generous support at our 8th Annual Pasta with a Purpose Dinner & Auction Over $30,000 was raised to support local families in need.
