fter a tumultuous few months of failed levies and slashed budgets, a shift in the winds may be coming for East Pierce Fire and Rescue constituents.

“I have some good news for you tonight,” said Fire Chief Jerry Thorson, who presented at the Bonney Lake City Council meeting March 24. “Every fire district in the state of Washington is rated by the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and the insurance industry uses that to set your fire insurance rates…. I’m

happy to say in all but two of our jurisdictions, we improved and have a lower rating number now.”

Thorson said the improved rating may mean lower insurance rates for people covered by East Pierce.

The Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau rates communities in four categories; water supply, the fire department, emergency communications and fire safety control, according to Thorson.

The Bureau rates communities every five to 10 years.

Letters from the bureau were sent to the mayors and officials

Bonney Lake High senior is crowned 2015 Daffodil queen Reporter

After 82 years, the Pierce County Daffodil Festival crowned it’s first Daffodil Festival queen from Bonney Lake High School.

Senior Ashley Becker was crowned the 79th Daffodil Festival queen Saturday at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma.

She was among 24 Daffodil princesses selected to represent their schools and communities in the festival.

Executive director of the Daffodil Festival, Steve James, said after exit interviews with the judges, he felt all of the Daffodil princesses

ZONING FROM 1 south side. The area is zoned R-4 which allows for high-density development, so assisted living qualifies to a certain extent.

The motion, offered by Darrel Dickson, stipulated that the R-4 density be bumped from 30 units per acre to 60. The motion also would allow buildings up to 55 feet, instead of the present 30 feet.

“Our community has a need for assisted living,” Dickson said. “This is a way to encourage that type of development.”

The motion passed with supporting votes from Dickson, Juanita Carstens and Chance LaFleur.

Opposing the proposal were Hoke Overland and Jim Hogan.

Overland noted his support for the property being discussed, but won-

this year were exceptional.

“When you’re judging 24 highly qualified young ladies, it’s not easy,” said James. “You’re splitting hairs.”

James said the queen and the royal court will have an extremely busy two weeks ahead of them, as Becker and the other princesses plan to make about 250 appearances this year, including the parade f loat unveiling at 4 p.m. on April 4 at the Old Cannery in Sumner.

Becker said she is still a little in shock over being crowed the queen this year.

“I’m so honored to represent my community, my school and my family,” she said.

dered what the proposed legislation could have on other R-4 areas in the city.

“Our community has a need for assisted living. This is a way to encourage that type of development.”

Darrel Dickson

A second recommendation from the CED Committee directed city administration to appoint a committee that would specifically look at promoting “food, beverage and agriculture” efforts within the city.

Overland, a CED Committee member, said things like restaurants and breweries “bring all kinds of tourist dollars” to a community. An ad hoc committee, he said, could go so far as recruit-

Becker said she was involved in the Associated Student Body since seventh grade, and recently ran for student body president.

Although she wasn’t elected, Becker searched for another way to become involved in her community, which was when she decided to be a part of the Daffodil Festival.

After high school, Becker plans to attend college to study nursing, and possibly become an anesthesiologist.

The proposal passed with support from Dickson, Carstens and Overland.

Also during the March 23 session, council members heard a report from Doug Osterman, King County’s watershed coordinator.

Enumclaw is among 17 jurisdictions that banded together 10 years ago to protect the Green/ Duwamish/Central Puget Sound watershed. The political entities make up the regional Water Resource Inventory Area, one of 64 such areas in the state.

The agreement between governmental partners expires at the close of 2015 and Osterman expressed his hope that Enumclaw would sign on for another decade.

“We’ve done a lot of really good work in your neck of the woods,” Osterman

In terms of regional importance, Osterman said, creation of a fish passage at Howard Hanson Dam – northeast of Enumclaw – is seen as integral to salmon protection. The only project more significant, Osterman said, was the removal of a dam on the Elwah River on the Olympic Peninsula.

In the immediate area, Osterman said, has been the Big Spring Creek project. The city of Enumclaw was involved in the purchase of land, one step in a project aimed at restoring the creek to its historic channel and, in the process, improving drainage throughout the area.

Osterman admitted the project spurred protests

Quinn Breidenbach a rising star The road ahead for Jamie Lange

Quinn Breidenbach commits to play for the University of Massachusetts. File photo

By Dennis Box

E

Editor

numclaw High junior Quinn Breidenbach hit another homer at the opening of the 2015 fastpitch season by verbally committing to play at the University of Massachusetts.

She will sign a formal, national letter-ofintent during her senior year.

Breidenbach said she considered both the academic and athletic programs at UMass before committing to the East Coast university.

“I wanted the full college experience,” Breidenbach said. “(University of Massachusetts) balances academics and ath-

letics…. The softball program is family oriented and it’s a D1 school.”

Her plan is to study kinesiology.

“It’s nice to have everything planned out,” she said. “Sometimes I wish it would come faster and sometimes slower.”

Growing up in Enumclaw, the Hornet fastpitch star said she wanted to go someplace different.

Breidenbach said the decision, “shocked my parents. But my dad is a pilot and it’s easy for them to come back and visit. I love them to death.”

She led the Hornets to the 2014 Class 3A state championship game, where the team placed second after losing to Kamiakin from Kennewick.

It was the Hornets’ only loss of the season. The girls were both South Puget Sound League 3A and West Central District champions.

This season Breidenbach is driven by one thing – that single loss in the state championship game. Her goal is to return – and win.

“Now it’s revenge,” Breidenbach said. “After coming so close, I want to win so bad. I’m really, really competitive.”

She said the 2015 fastpitch team works very well together and, “the core group is still there.”

Breidenbach said she spent the offseason, “working on my spin and perfecting my drop ball.” Her offseason diligence has paid dividends early.

“I’m really pumped for the season,” Breidenbach said.

It shows.

majority of high school athletes started playing their sport of choice before they could walk.

And the same is true for Sumner senior Jamie Lange.

Lange is a two sport threat for the Spartans and has been playing soccer since she was 4 and basketball since she was 7 years old.

What hooks student athletes and makes them want to play at such a young age?

Well, for Lange she said she grew up watching her older sister play sports and she “wanted to be just like her.”

Lange’s athletic career won’t end when she walks across the stage in June.

In February, along with five of her Sumner soccer teammates, Lange announced she signed her letter of intent to play collegiate soccer for the University of Puget Sound.

She said after visiting the campus in Tacoma, she “fell in love.”

She added, the soccer coaches helped seal the deal.

“I could not imagine playing for four more years for anybody else,” she said.

“Not only do they want good soccer play-

Time to get out and explore everything the mountain has to offer

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Despite her snow-capped peak and glacier-encrusted shoulders, Mount Rainier is no ice maiden to be worshipped only from afar.

She should be treated as local royalty, with awe and admiration, but with a certain familiarity. The mountain begs for her loyal subjects to reach out and touch, to explore, to get to know her on a personal level.

The best way to become intimately acquainted with Mount Rainier is, of course, by getting off the sofa, pulling on a pair of hiking boots and putting the treads to a few miles of trail. But it’s a mighty big mountain and few are up to a Wonderland Trail type of experience, spending days in back-country camps while getting to know the best Rainier has to offer, sometimes on a cold-andwet, hands-and-knees level.

So, option No. 2 might involving piling into the family auto and setting off on a personal Journey of Discovery. It might not be on par with the original Journey of Discovery (Lewis and Clark, remember?) but it still satisfies.

From Enumclaw, the

favored loop will take about 150 miles. Those who experience the mountain from a car window, without stopping – as if that’s possible – will spend about five hours completing the circuit. Those who know how to enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer will spend at least a full day – perhaps a couple of days if overnight camping is part of the itinerary.

The following route, it should be noted, is largely impacted by the weather.

This year’s winter weather – meaning precious little winter – has pushed some traditional opening a bit earlier on the calendar.

For example, it appears both Chinook and Cayuse passes could be open this weekend, giving round-themountain access.

So here’s the rundown, when perfect conditions apply.

From our corner of the world, the road around Rainier begins in Enumclaw, the largest of the gateway communities, where dining opportunities are varied, gas is plentiful and grocery stores stock more than enough provisions for a mountain outing.

Here are some stops

integral to a true Mount Rainier outing.

Located along the picturesque White River, explore mature forests of Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar. Hike on the 12 miles of trails or take the family on one of three interpretive paths; ideal for small children.

Everyone benefits when we all vote President Barack Obama spoke in Cleveland two weeks ago and mentioned his support of mandatory (or compulsory) voting in the United States.

The president said it would “completely transform the political map in this country,” and argued mandatory voting would help remove big money from politics, encourage the young, working class and disenfranchised citizens to vote and increase voting turnout numbers.

Many news sources reported 57.5 percent of the Ray Still American public Reporter voted in the 2012 presidential election. That’s not such a bad number - at least the majority of registered voters showed up at the polls.

The number dips to an abysmal 37 percent for the 2014 midterm elections. Although midterm elections don’t have the same turnout as presidential elections, it still means a little more than one-third of registered took control of the governmental wheel, so to speak.

In contrast to the low voter turnout in the US, Australia constantly boasts high voter turnouts. The Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance reported Australia had a registered voter turnout between 93 and 95 percent since 1946.

However, between 78 and 91 percent of the voting age population historically shows up at the polls, so the voting turnout numbers are often debated.

Still, anywhere between 78 and 95 percent of voters at the polls is a great win for democracy, and the high participation numbers are most likely caused by Australia’s mandatory voting system, which fines unregistered voters and citizens who don’t vote about $20.

Admittedly, Australia is one of a minority of 23 countries with mandatory voting laws, and only one of 10 which enforces those laws, according to the BBC. Other counties that have mandatory voting laws include Costa Rica, Egypt, Lebanon, Argentina and Belgium.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume a supermajority of Americans would rather take the pains to vote than get fined $20, and voting numbers would stretch into 80 percent range for all elections.

Also for the sake of argument, ballots include a “none of the above” option, so voters who truly have no opinion have a voice and can bypass the fine.

The question now is, is it healthy for a democracy to have mandatory voting laws? After all, it is a bit of a paradox – democratic philosophy relies on the freedom

Europe and North America have had economic difficulties since the Great Recession beginning in 2008, which hurt China’s export economy and is forcing a new direction.

China must change the model created by Deng Xiao Ping. Xi Jinping must make the difficult transition to a new economic model where the Chinese start consuming their own products rather than continuing as an export giant.

increased militancy with its neighbors has been to focus attention of the Chinese citizenry away from its internal problems and outward against Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam, and by extension, the United States.

All of these countries are feeling the threat and are looking to the U.S. to pivot toward Asia to help these island nations protect their security against China’s rise. President Obama is trying to accomplish this pivot, but pressing crises in the Middle East and in Ukraine are hindering him.

Meanwhile, Xi is facing

the problem that when he purges the nation of corrupt government officials, he is also decreasing the ability of government to function efficiently. While corrupt, those officials knew how the system worked. If they’re no longer there, the government will not function as well and this will frustrate the average Chinese and cause uncertainty and fear.

Xi also has to deal with the problem that the coastal areas of the east are prosperous while the interior regions in the west have much higher poverty rates.

So he must balance these reforms to keep the poorer interior regions growing without taking away the gains of the coastal region.

According to the “Stratfor” article, for the removal of corruption to be successful it must be vast. But those changes could frighten officials who see those purges reaching them and fearful people are dangerous and will tend to resist change. If 15,450 government officials were removed in one province due to corruption in 2014, what must many corrupt government officials be thinking in their own provinces?

China is in a period of tumultuous and necessary change. Now is the time to be paying attention to China, because with a population of 1.4 billion people, what happens there will affect the entire world.

Concerns over gym entry and exit, movement of fans, concessions, seating arrangements, floor space and locker rooms quickly dismiss Enumclaw as a viable site. The newer venues of our member schools take up the responsibilities as tournament host, sport after sport, season after season.

Why can’t we host championship games in our hometown? We should and must have facilities honoring our students and their right to flourish.

In 2015, we can offer Enumclaw High School and our community the same desired relief granted in 1961. Our students can again find that much needed room to move and room to grow. Now is the time.

Now, much like the conditions of 1960, there is restricted space and crammed quarters causing safety issues and limiting the passions of the student body. Our kids deserve better. As one example, multiple levels of boys and girls basketball teams, two wrestling squads, cheer, dance, Special Olympics, judo and gymnastics gathered in substandard space at all hours of the day and into the night for practice and events.

and words. A good news that tells us through faith our sins are forgiven. A good news which turns us away from ourselves and toward the needs of others. A good news which calls us to see the world as a God sees it.

Therefore, If we are to live as Easter People, then let us be Christ to our

neighbor. Both the neighbor next door whom we see, but also the neighbor on the street who goes unseen or unwanted.

And how are we to be Christ to our neighbors?

I am convinced it begins with the simplest of gestures: saying hello or smiling when you catch an eye.

In other words, by looking at people not as an issue, but through the eyes of Christ; as God’s beloved children. For it recapitulates our lives when we see others in the same light as God sees us: forgiven and redeemed.

I am not making an attempt to undersimplify a systemic issue by say-

ing, “Just be nice.” That is not what the Gospel calls us to do. But I do believe these simple gestures change us so we no longer ignore people but see others as our neighbors. For as Jesus was once asked, “Who is your neighbor?”

The answer was, “The one who showed mercy.” You know who your neighbors are, ”Now go and do likewise.”

People of God, may we extend the same grace and mercy to others we first experienced through Jesus Christ as we live out of the hope and promise offered because of the resurrection we celebrate this Easter Sunday.

Alleluia! Christ is risen!

We are in the midst of Holy Week. For most Christian denominations, it signifies the end of Lent and provides an opportunity to remember Jesus’ final days, hours and words uttered on the cross before his death.

During this week, and the entire season of Lent, we reflect on our brokenness and that which separates us from God – all as we await for the ushering in of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday with shouts of Alle…oh wait, not yet!

summer-flowering clematis in early spring it will still elect to give you blooms that same summer – just expect the flowers to show up later in the season. Most overgrown clematis vines can be pruned back to 12 to 18 inches from the ground if necessary to clean them up or start fresh growth.

I decided to patch some bare spots in my old lawn last month so I spread a sandy, two-way mix of soil in the empty spots, sprinkled grass seed then covered the seed with compost that I purchased in a bag from the garden center.

It has been four weeks and no sign of new grass sprouting. What do you think happened? C.C., Renton.

The clue to this mystery of the disappearing grass seed is that you covered the seed with compost. Grass seed will not sprout in cool weather if it

is hidden under a blanket of damp compost. Just barely cover the seed with a very thin layer of peat moss or a tiny bit of compost by raking the topdressing lightly over the seed. In Western Washington our damp spring weather means grass seed will sprout sooner if left uncovered – if you can keep the birds from removing the seed. When it comes to planting bare spots you can now find “lawn patch repair” seed mixes that are sold with bits of tissue paper and mulch mixed right into the seed. This is a good way to seed the lawn without burying the lawn seed too deep while still protecting it from the birds.

I bought a dwarf mugo pine a few years ago and it is now 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide! My neighbor has a dwarf burning bush with the name “compacta” at the end that has also grown into a huge shrub 5 feet tall. We have very small yards and want to know if there are any shrubs that will stay dwarf or compact. We no longer trust the plant tags that say a shrub is dwarf.

loves dwarfs and you can find your own true love of dwarf evergreens at local nurseries. Just ask for “true dwarfs” that will grow just one inch or one-half inch a year. The cone-shaped dwarf Alberta Spruce comes in both a semidwarf form (the most common) and a true dwarf that will stay less than 2 feet tall after 10 years. There are also evergreens with round bun forms, weeping forms and lovely upright but very narrow forms that serve as “exclamation points” in the landscape. These “true dwarfs” are often sold as rock garden conifers or dish garden conifers. These compact dwarfs may cost more than the more common evergreens but they are so well-behaved, tidy and hard-

working that they are worth the investment – so off to work they go.

Natural Gas Safety In The Event Of An Earthquake

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

City of Enumclaw gas utility recommends you shut off your gas immediately after an earthquake if you smell gas.

If you are at work or away when an earthquake hits, then you may not be able to get home in time. An earthquake valve will take care of this instantly for you.

By Dr. Carla Yamashiro The Ecologic Dentist

Thousands are diagnosed with oral cancer every year. At Ecologic Dentistry, every dental exam includes an oral cancer screening. Our Velscope® technology uses light to illuminate abnormal tissue and can be detected early before the unaided eye is able to.

Painless, quick, and non-invasive.

The cost? Your life.

An Earthquake valve or seismic valve is an automatic way to shut off the gas supply to your home or business in the event of an earthquake. These are applicable not only to your Enumclaw supplied gas but propane (LPG) as well.

These devices should be installed by a licensed contractor and can cost between $300 and $500 per meter which should include parts and labor.

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

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

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS NATURAL GAS SAFETY REMINDERS

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

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

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

If you smell natural gas please notify the City of Enumclaw at 360 825-5541.

After hours call Police Dispatch at 360 825-3505

Now that spring is here and the warm weather is upon us, we will be enjoying the sun in our yards while planting flowers, installing new fences, or landscaping our property. While you are doing these things, your City of Enumclaw Natural Gas Department would like to remind you to be aware of the buried gas lines running across your yard. A lot of these lines are plastic and can be cut with a shovel. Remember before you dig call toll-free number 1-800-424-5555 and the gas lines will be located for you.

City of Enumclaw Summer Maintenance

City of Enumclaw Gas Technician will be out performing maintenance on your meter starting in June. Please be sure you have no debris or equipment blocking access to the meter set. The annual maintenance requires the technician to visually inspect and if needed make required adjustments’. We appreciate your assistance.

The month of April is a warning to April fools.

Spring may be sprung but summer is still months away and this is not the month to introduce frost-sensitive plants to the garden no matter how mild our winter weather. Do not plant geraniums, petunias, tomatoes, cucumbers or other warmthloving plants until after all danger of frost has passed – usually sometime in midMay. April is a good month for planting trees, shrubs, roses, perennial plants like hosta and rock garden plants

as well as hardy sedums and succulents and cool-season vegetables.

I have clematis that flower in the summer – I think it is called Mr. President. It had been growing on a trellis but the wood has rotted and I want to replace the old trellis with one made from metal. My question: can I cut the long clematis stems to the ground for a fresh start? I do not want to kill this clematis as the flowers are lovely. P.P., Puyallup I vote to give Mr. President the ponytail cut now for a fresh start on the new support system.

The ponytail cut is when you grab all the stems in one hand about a foot from the soil level and snip like you would if you were cutting off a ponytail. If you prune a

SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE In the absence of celebration we lose all meaning of what we say we value.

–paraphrase Terrance Deal We have a lot to celebration in many departments across the district. Over the last month, teams have been working late into the night installing new network switches and wireless access points at each school in the district. A total of 237 access points and and 28 switches were installed. This means we now have full wireless coverage throughout each school, and each school’s network connection speed back to our core/server network has been increased tenfold!

A new guest wireless network has also been enabled for student and staff personal devices. This new network will be easier to access and connect. We also enjoyed a little bit of Christmas in March! Last Friday 240 new Hewlett Packard laptops arrived in the district. Get ready kids as the laptops are headed your way! This is just the beginning! Thank you, voters.

GMS KNOWLEDGE BOWL Glacier Middle School’s Knowledge Bowl Team, with advisor Mr. Frame, competed in the Plateau League Finals event hosted

by Thunder Mountain Middle School on March 18th.

Eight schools were represented. Most schools entered 2 teams, including Glacier, for a total of 15 teams in the contest. Out of the 15 teams competing, Glacier’s Team 1 finished in 1st Place!

Hats off to our Child Nutrition Program staff.

Recently the OSPI did an audit on our food service program. The audit was extensive as it reviews the accuracy of all free and reduced lunch applications, examines all standardized recipes to include a menu nutrient analysis. They also check compliance with minimum and maximum limits of calories, saturated fat, bread grains and sodium. The auditors visited White River High School and Foothills Elementary. The nutrition staff were monitored to ensure proper serving sizes and that the serving components are presented to children to qualify for a reimbursable meal. Lastly, the auditors review standard operating procedures, production records, and school board policies. The Child Nutrition Program successfully completed the audit with no findings! Again, congratulations to the leadership and the staff who work in the program.

Our Transportation Department completed its efficiency assessment with a score of 100%. This is a rare event! The efficiency assessment uses the variables of number of busses on routes, the number of students on each bus, and the road miles between bus stops to compute the efficiency. Supervisor, Randy Gregg, and his office crew have done outstanding work. Their skill in bus stop placement and route design made the efficiency rating possible.

In a school district, classified staff to include transportation and food service, exists to help us fulfill our mission of high levels of learning for all students for success beyond high school. In White River this is everyone’s mission. As you can see from the examples in this column, it really doesn’t matter whether you are a teacher, administrator, or member of our classified staff, everyone has the same job—working as part of a larger team to fulfill our mission. We simply have different titles and responsibilities.

S.T.E.M. FAIR

WHITE RIVER HIGH SCHOOL’S DAFFODIL PRINCESS

Ally and Delcy present their Surface Tension investigation to judge Mike Hagadone

Daffodil Princess Bailey Rasmussen was officially crowned in February at the Princess Promenade to represent WRHS as part of the 2015 Daffodil Festival Royal Court.

The Daffodil Royal Court is made up of 24 young ladies from Pierce County high schools. They act as goodwill ambassadors, receive an educational scholarship and will serve over 200 community service hours while maintaining a high GPA. Princess Bailey has recently been accepted to Washington State University where she will major in Psychology.

Princess Bailey selected Robin Howard as her Daffodil Festival 2015 Educator of the Year, because of her love and compassion for her students and her dedication to the choir program.

Mrs. Howard will be escorted in a convertible throughout all four Daffodil Festival parades on Saturday, April 11th, 2015. Also in the parade will be the National Honor Society’s “Shine your Light on Service” float; and our WRHS marching band and cheerleaders.

Over 80 students participated in the first Wilkeson S.T.E.M. Fair this March. Besides the traditional scientific investigation, Wilkeson students in grades K - 5th entered projects in other categories that included Technology/Computer programming, Reverse Engineering, Inventions, and Mathematical Investigations. Some of the projects included students investigating the permeability of an egg shell, dismantling engines, programming animated characters with Scratch code, or a cost analysis of raising animals for food versus going to the grocery store for a year. Students created presentation boards and gave oral presentations to community judges. Next year, the S.T.E.M. fair will become bigger and better as it will include the Art concept of Design and Innovation and there will be a S.T.E.A.M. Community Night with hands-on activities for the whole family.

Science is alive and flourishing in White River!

of choice, which includes the freedom to not choose, or in this case, the freedom to not vote.

Some arguments against mandatory voting say the average American is incompetent at following political races and their votes for presidents and congressmen are based on sensationalized headlines and misinformation.

If we were to force the uninformed masses to vote, the argument goes, the political system would become more backwards than it already is. Hence, only the informed should participate in the political system and the ignorant should choose to remove themselves from the game.

Ilya Somin of the Washington Post wrote an opinion article about Obama’s speech, refuting the president’s argument that compulsory voting would help get big money out of politics.

Somin argues, “relatively ignorant voters are more likely to be influenced by simplistic 30 second ads than relatively wellinformed ones,” and more money will pour into the political system to sway the uninformed.

This may be so, and as a journalist, I’ve seen how people can be led astray by misinformation from both sides of the political spectrum.

However, I think a mandatory voting system gives many disenfranchised citizens a chance to voice their opinion. This would not only far outweigh the cons of uninformed voters participating in the political arena, but it also resolves the paradox of mandatory voting in a democracy.

Elections are run by multi-million dollar PACs and laws are passed by deep-pocketed lobbyists.

Money runs the American political system now, not the voters. So maybe it’s time for the government to help the people take back their voice.

In his speech, Obama said, “The people who tend not to vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heavily towards immigrant groups and minority groups… There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls.

We should want to get them into the polls.”

Political studies show that many young people, such as myself, vote for more liberally. The same goes for

the working and poor classes, as well as immigrant groups and minorities. It may be a political boon for the Democratic party if a mandatory voting system was installed, but not all conservatives vote during elections either. And not all liberals and conservatives are straight-ticket voters.

Really, no one knows which party, if either, would benefit the most from a

mandatory voting system.

Rohan Wenn, a spokesperson for the non-partisan political advocacy group Get Up! was quoted in a BBC article about Australian mandatory voting.

“If you look at the international experience, in non-compulsory voting systems,” he said, “the people who don’t vote are the poor and disenfranchised

and those are exactly the people we think should be voting.”

Everyone should have the power to vote, but in recent history the voices of the tired, the poor and the huddled masses have eroded, and the rich and affluent have built walls and towers to consolidate their control.

Maybe the answer isn’t mandatory voting. Maybe we should make presiden-

tial and midterm elections a national holiday, so more people can take the time to vote. If that option is too expensive, then let’s try voting on the weekend.

Maybe laws should be passed to ensure political ads convey truthful and accurate information and money spent on political campaigns should have a cap limit and be made 100 percent transparent. Any of

these solutions could be a step towards equality and a more effective government.

But the fact remains that an accessible voting system with a high participation rate will only help a democracy, not hinder it.

And of course, if one party does benefit from a silent majority now compelled to vote, well, that’s democracy for you.

Say hi to a lifetime of good health.

Artists are sought for Enumclaw Studio Tour Comments taken on fish project The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking public comment on its draft Environmental Assessment and draft Finding of No Significant Impact for a Mud Mountain Dam fish passage project. The public comment period ends April 17.

The Mud Mountain fish passage facility was constructed as mitigation for the loss of fish passage due to the construction of Mud Mountain Dam that was completed in 1941. The project is on the White River near the Enumclaw and Buckley on the White River.

The Corps is proposing to construct a replacement fish trap and haul facility, plus a replacement fish passage barrier, as well as upgrading access roads to the fish trap and the release site. The proposed new fish trap facility would be constructed on the right bank of the river directly across from the existing fish trap facility.

The project replaces a 100-year-old barrier and a 70-year-old fish trap.

The planning of the new facility has been a collaborative effort using a Regional Design Team with representatives from National Marine Fisheries Service, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Cascade Water Alliance.

The draft Environmental Assessment and draft Finding of No Significant Impact are available on the Seattle District website at: http://1.usa.gov/1xmgaIe and http://1.usa.gov/1DFgnIn. To submit public comments, correspondence should be directed to: Michael Scuderi, Environmental Resources Branch, 206764-7205; via e-mail at Michael.R.Scuderi@usace. army.mil; or at U.S. Army Corps of Engineer District, Seattle, Attn: CENWS-ENER, P.O.

SCHOOL DISTRICT VISIT US ONLINE: SUMNERSD.ORG

SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE Spring is upon us – a time of growth! In our schools, students are growing. New skills are being developed and existing skills are being nurtured. Students are making connections, formulating ideas – imaginations are overflowing.

Traditionally, spring is also a time for the district to assess the work being done in the schools and take a deep look into how students are performing.

However – the fact of the matter is that we assess our growth continually. Assessments provide an overview as to how our students are learning and what they are retaining.

To ensure that all Sumner School District students are college and career ready, three systems of quality need to be in place. Learning standards provide a shared set of expectations for what students should know and be able to do. Assessments are tools used to support, inform, and measure teaching and learning throughout the school year.

Finally, curriculum guides the teacher as they deliver quality instruction.

The district has partnered with Curriculum Management Systems, inc. (CMSi) to conduct a comprehensive audit of our educational programs. The Curriculum Audit provides an intense and independent scrutiny of policies, planning, organizational relationships, administrative functioning, curriculum design and delivery, equity, feedback use, budgeting, facilities, and many other factors that contribute to the optimization of our district.

The goal of this audit is to identify how well the system delivers teaching and learning, pointing to where we are strong and where we need attention or improvement. The audit report frequently becomes an “agenda for action” and is based on an external, unbiased perspective focusing on essential components of quality improvement.

1279447

This is important work, allowing us to look deeply at the work we are doing to ensure that we are targeted and focused on providing excellent instruction, every day for every student.

This growth mindset ensures that all Sumner School District students are career and college ready – and have the skills to compete for quality jobs that our state has to offer.

AFTER-SCHOOL BUS SERVICE PILOT The Sumner School District Transportation Department is piloting a new after-school bus service for students who stay after school to receive academic support services. For the remainder of the 2014-15 School Year, a bus will be available on Mondays and Wednesdays to transport students home from Lakeridge and Mountain View middle schools, and Bonney Lake and Sumner high schools. The Academic Support Bus will drive a limited route and will leave at approximately 4:15 p.m. The routes will have limited stops due to servicing students located in a variety of areas. Check the Sumner School District Website for bus stop locations and estimated drop off times.

TEACHER TUESDAY Every Tuesday school is in session a teacher is recognized in the Sumner School District for impacting student success and making a difference. This is a weekly opportunity for us to honor the hard work teachers do all year long and say "thank you!"

The commitment, dedication and tireless efforts of these recipients serving students and families in our local community do not go unnoticed! Congratulations and thank you!

The Superintendent and School Board recognize the District STEM and Art Fair student award recipients. At the March 18 Board Meeting, technology showcase award recipients from Donald Eismann Elementary, Emerald Hills Elementary, and Sumner High School presented projects. This annual district event recognizes students who develop top science projects and excel in technology and art. STEM Fairs give students the opportunity to model the work of professional research scientists. Students who develop science projects learn to improve their skills in scientific method and experimentation, logical thinking and problem-solving, writing and public speaking, and advanced library research. Art award recipients showcased talent using watercolor, oil, charcoal, colored pencil, mixed media, ceramics, and photography.

Congratulations to all the K-12 STEM Fair and District Art Show award recipients!

SALMON LIFE CYCLE MURAL Daffodil Valley Elementary 5th grade students are leaving their mark on the school and learning the salmon life cycle while doing it. With the help of Oregon artists, the 5th Grade Team has creatively integrated social studies, literacy, and art into an unforgettable, school-wide learning experience.

The mural celebrates school culture and diversity by incorporating cultural aspects from local Native American heritage. Students also enlisted the help of the community by writing persuasive letters to neighborhood hardware stores for support.

Students learned about the mural painting process as they were first given stencils to draw fish onto the wall and then filled the fish in with painted colors. The mural was inspired by the book Salmon Stream by Carol Reed-Jones, a local author and teacher from Bellingham.

More than just a pretty wall, murals help bring lessons alive and instill a sense of community pride.

LANGE FROM 3 that has a great impact on the school and community. She is a special young lady.”

Lange said her decision to play collegiate soccer instead of basketball was decided her sophomore year of high school.

She said she had been playing Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball from eighth grade until her sophomore year.

During that time, she had moved up on the roster and had earned a starting spot.

But to Lange, she said she started to feel “burnt out on the sport and it didn’t really seem fun to me.”

On the field, Lange plays goalkeeper and has been doing so ever since was 10.

She said she enjoys that position because as goalkeeper you aren’t in the action all the time.

“However, most don’t know that the goalkeeper has the best seat in the house,” Lange said.

She added, aside from blocking occasional shots, her job as goalie is to communicate with the rest of the team because she can see everything that is happening on the field.

“It’s a much more complex position than people think,” she said. “And that’s why I

absolutely love it.”

Lange finished her final season as goalie for the Spartans in the fall.

When fall sports were wrapping up, Lange’s final season of playing for Sumner was right around the corner.

Basketball season was getting ready to tip off.

Her senior season came to an early end during the first half of the district championship game when she went out with an injury.

“Jamie Lange is one of those kids that will never be replaced,” Sumner basketball coach Jordan Moog said. “The greatest part about her time at Sumner is that her impact goes far beyond the basketball floor.”

It was later diagnosed that she tore her anterior cruciate ligament and partially tore her lateral collateral ligament.

Since the district game in late February, Lange said her recovery is “coming along very well.”

Aside from some concussions previously and dislodging a accessory bone in her foot freshman year after landing wrong after a rebound, this is Lange’s only major injury.

“It’s definitely one of the hardest experiences I’ve had,” she said.

She said she has spoken with her UPS coaches and they understand the situation.

She added, the decision to

www.courierherald.com

have her red shirt or not will come later based on how her recovery goes and how she feels.

“I am definitely in no hurry to rush getting back,” Lange said. “I don’t want to reinjure it.”

She said right now, the estimated recovery is nine months until she can return to full competition and contact.

Lange’s initial thoughts after landing wrong during the district game was pain, she said.

She said once she calmed down and it started to feel better, she said, she wanted to go back out there.

Before halftime, Lange was heavily taped at the knee and made her way back onto the court.

She lined up as an opposing player shot free throws.

Once Lange boxed out, she said, “it completely gave out.”

She said that was the moment she knew she wasn’t going to be able to finish the

game.

It wasn’t until the MRI results came in, that she believed she had torn her ACL, Lange said.

“I was absolutely devastated,” she said. “(Nobody) wants to go out their senior year.”

Lange said she had to fill her role on the team in a different way by being a cheerleader and captain from the bench.

Lange’s decision sophomore year to focus on soccer at the next level changed this year.

“I did not expect to have the senior season I did,” she said.

She added, basketball may be in her future depending on how she feels post-rehab and therapy.

Lange’s stellar senior basketball season was highlighted by the number of awards she was honored.

She was named first team all area, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association player of the week, all league co-Most Valuable

of sports, she said one of her favorite things to do is spend time with family.

“Family is and always will be so important to me,” she said.

She said she is also fascinated with people.

“I am an avid people watcher at mall, airports, restaurants,” she said.

This year, Lange said one of her favorite memories is when the team went to San Diego for a basketball tournament and got to spend time at Disneyland.

A favorite moment from a basketball game is when she hit a three pointer against Bonney Lake.

She said, she remembers looking at Moog and seeing her “shaking her head and laughing.”

Those moments are from senior year but when Lange looked back at her four years spent at Sumner, she said when she was a freshman she

When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

However, she said she does not pay attention to the recognition she receives.

“Awards or no awards, it wouldn’t change how I play,” Lange said.

She added, the honors do help people notice the extra time and effort she puts into playing.

As the Spartans look to the coming seasons, without Lange, “it’s going to be very tough,” Moog said.

Sumner soccer coach Robi Turley said Lange has been starting since her freshman year and is a “huge reason why we have two state championships to brag about.”

Turley said replacing not only her athletic skill but her leadership will be hard.

Both coaches and Baines look forward to what she accomplishes during her time at UPS. The community knows Lange as an athlete but outside

WATER POLO

of Bonney Lake, South Prairie, Sumner, Edgewood, Milton and unincorporated Pierce County communities on March 19 announcing the new protection classifications The lower the classification number, the better the rating. The rating scale is from one to 10, with one being the best rating the bureau can give.

In Bonney Lake, the protection classification number improved from five to four.

South Prairie saw an improvement from seven to five.

Sumner remained a four and Edgewood remained a five, although Thorson said it improved from a high five to a low five.

Milton saw an improvement from six to four, and unincorporated parts of

Pierce County saw an improvement from five to four.

Tempered news

While the improved protection classes may mean lower premiums, not all the news is positive.

Because $3.2 million was cut from the departments budget when the maintenance and operations levy failed the good ratings may be temporary.

Thorson said if the department isn’t able to increase their budget, restore public education programs, staffing levels and firefighter and EMS training in the near future, the department could change the rating by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau in a few years.

This could negatively affect insurance premiums.

LANGE FROM 18 got to play on the same team as her sister, who was a senior, and that was “one of the coolest experiences.”

She also looks up to her sister, who she credits with teaching her the importance of sportsmanship.

“She is the one of the most selfless people I know and (I am forever thankful that) she taught me that it is okay to be nice even when you’re in competition,” Lange said.

Lange is also inspired by Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Josh Ford and University of Washington basketball player Kelli Kingma.

Lange said Kingma was battling an injury when they were roommates for AAU basketball and she showed her how to not let your injuries affect your passion for the game.

“Now I see this as very helpful advice,” Lange said. “I do not plan to let this injury in anyway affect the passion I have.”

At UPS, Lange plans to study physical therapy and become an athletic trainer or therapist.

Aside from her studies and time spent on the field and maybe even the court, Lange is looking forward to meeting new people.

She said UPS is also a national school and she “can’t wait to get the opportunity to study abroad.”

Rainier officials seeking money to finish projects The National Park Service last week released its deferred maintenance statistics for national parks. The $11.49 billion nationwide total was up from the $11.3 billion reported at the end of 2013 and includes Mount Rainier National Park, which listed a backlog of deferred maintenance projects totaling nearly $300 million.

Deferred maintenance is necessary work on infrastructure like roads and bridges, visitor centers, trails and campgrounds that has been put off for more than a year.

Aging facilities, increasing use of park facilities

and insufficient maintenance funding contribute to the growing backlog.

“If funded, the National Park Service’s 2016 budget request will allow us to restore several of our highest priority non-transportation assets to good condition,” said Randy King, Mount Rainier National Park superintendent.

Park roads and bridges account for about half of the overall NPS maintenance backlog, and more than two-thirds of the maintenance backlog at Mount Rainier National Park.

“President Obama’s proposal to fund nationally significant transportation

projects could address some of the National Park Service’s large, critical deferred maintenance transportation projects,” King said. “Completing t hose projects wou ld pave the way for many of the hundreds of millions of v isitors t hat come to national parks each year.”

The National Park Service’s overall budget request for non-transportation assets includes an increase of $242.8 million across operations and construction accounts, in combination with a mandatory proposal to provide $300 million annually over three years.

EAGLE FROM 4

OPENING DAY

Sawyer and south of Covington, is a licensed general wildlife center principally serving King and Pierce counties. It is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and release of orphaned and injured wildlife.

White and Tigger Birch, a licensed veterinarian technician, opened Critter Care in 2009 and it has consistently grown. Mammals, reptiles and birds are cared for at the facility. According to Critter Care’s website, an estimated 4,000 animals are taken in annually. Much of the work is done by volunteers and costs are covered by donations, grants and fundraising events.

White wrote in an email the eagle released March 20 was “transferred to West Sound Wildlife Shelter for flight training. (Eagles) require very large and expensive flight cages.”

A fundraising event for critter care is scheduled at 1 to 4 p.m. April 19 at Foster Golf Links, 13500 Interurban Avenue South, Tukwila. Tickets are $20. For information call 206-7781680.

The annual spring opening of Mount Rainier National Park areas and facilities begins this week, weather permitting.

The exceptionally low snowpack this winter is allowing earlier access to some park roads. However, visitor services and facilities may be limited in some areas until summer staffing is on board and facilities can be prepared.

Below are the projected opening dates: •• Roads •• Cayuse Pass (SR 123) – April 3 Chinook Pass (SR410) – April 3 Mowich Lake Road – May 22 Paradise Valley Road – May 22 Sunrise Road from White River – June 5 White River Road to White River Campground – May 1 Longmire to Paradise uphill gate open 24 hours – April 13 •• Campgrounds & Picnic Areas •• Box Canyon Picnic Area and Restrooms – May 22 Cougar Rock Campground and Picnic Area – May 22 Ohanapecosh Campground – May 22 Paradise Picnic Area – May 22 White River Campground – June 26 •• Visitor Information Centers •• Jackson Visitor Center daily operation – May 2 Ohanapecosh Visitor Center – June 26 Sunrise Visitor Center – June 27 Sunrise Lodge – June 27

RAINIER FROM 4 it boasts places to shop, rent equipment or grab something to eat.

• Mount Rainier Viewpoint Stop here for the first of many glorious views of Mount Rainier after beginning this tour.

• Skookum Falls Dropping a dramatic 250 feet in two tiers, watch the water shimmer as it makes its way down the mountainside leading into the White River. The view is best early in the season when the water flow is at its height, although observing the falls frozen by the cold winter air is a unique experience.

• Side Trip: Sunrise Access is at the discretion of state agencies, but – when available - Sunrise offers postcard views of Mount Rainier. Sitting at 6,400 feet, it is the highest point to which you can drive in the park. There are incredible views of Emmons Glacier, the mountain’s largest sheet of ice, plus views of five of the Cascade volcanoes.

• Side Trip: Tipsoo Lake and Chinook Pass Summit Just a few hundred meters from the summit, stop at quaint Tipsoo Lake.

Departing from Tipsoo Lake is the popular Naches Loop Trail. Explore colorful fields of subalpine flowers, pass beside two fragile, glassy ponds, and discover breathtaking views of Mount Rainier along this family-friendly, three-hour hike. For a shorter walk, take the nature trail leading around the lake. A picnic area is also located here.

To reach Tipsoo Lake and Chinook Pass Summit, continue on SR 410, rather than following the driving tour as it turns right onto SR 123.

• Grove of the Patriarchs: Enjoy an easy

1.5 mile loop through this old-growth forest.

• Box Canyon The Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River has cut a channel 100 feet deep but only 15 to 30 feet across. Walk a bridge across the canyon for a dizzying view of this deep forest canyon. A nice picnic area is also located here.

• Side Trip: Paradise Discover Paradise. At 5,400 feet, this area with its glorious views of Mount Rainier is the primary destination for many visitors to the park. The Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center offers interpretive displays about the geology, flora, fauna and mountain climbing in the area.

It’s just a short walk to the historic Paradise Inn with rustic rooms, the Paradise Inn Dining Room, Glacier Lounge, and a gift shop. Built in 1917, this beautiful inn displays hand-crafted furniture, a magnificent 14 foot grandfather clock and a rustic piano built by a German carpenter. Leaving from both the inn and visitor center is one of the most popular activities at Paradise -- the short, familyfriendly, paved nature trails. Suitable for just about everyone, these pathways lead through colorful meadows and offer spectacular mountain vistas. On the Nisqually Vista Trail, walk where the clouds go and see how weather shapes the landscape, plants and animals of these high-country meadows. See splendid fields of wildflowers while taking in the stunning views of Mount Rainier and Nisqually Glacier. And keep your eyes peeled for area residents -- the amusing whistling marmots sunning themselves on the rock outcroppings.

During the winter season, the road is not plowed beyond this point.

To reach this destination, follow the signs to Paradise. Turn right off Stevens Canyon Road onto Paradise Valley Road

and travel two miles to the visitor center.

• Glacier Vista Viewpoint and Exhibit Look up to the summit and see Nisqually Glacier and its origin on the permanent Nisqually snowfield.

Beginning at 14,000 feet, this is the fastest moving glacier on the mountain, moving at more than one foot a day.

• Longmire Visit Longmire Museum, one of the oldest museums in the National Park System with several exhibits on the cultural and natural history of the park. Located here is the Longmire Wilderness Information Center with information on hiking and climbing in the area. It is also a starting point for hikers of the Wonderland Trail.

• Nisqually Entrance Standing at the Nisqually Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park, notice the wooden entrance arch built in 1922 and reconstructed in 1973. Just inside this entrance see the oldest building in the park, a cabin built in 1908 that was occupied by a park ranger.

• Ashford Visitor Center and Base Camp Discover the wide variety of recreational opportunities and services offered in this southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park.

• Elbe Depot and the Elbe Evangelical Lutheran Church Since 1906, the Elbe Evangelical Lutheran Church has watched over the mountain community of Elbe. Built by German immigrants, this tiny church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In the same area, view the Elbe Depot serving as a visitor center, gift shop and ticket station for the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad.

• Pack Forest Winding your way back to Enumclaw,

stop at Pack Forest for outstanding hiking trails. The forest is open to hikers, cyclists and equestrians.

• Eatonville It is home to Northwest Trek, The Pioneer Farm Museum and walking trails, all with a small-town feel. Dining options and support services are available.

• Lake Kapowsin Take a look at pretty Lake Kapowsin. It is a favorite among anglers. Covering 512 acres, the lake was formed by the Electron Mudflow which occurred 500 years ago.

• Side Trip: Carbon River Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park Visit the historic communities of Wilkeson and Carbonado and enjoy the Fairfax Bridge. It was built in 1921 and when the 494-foot long bridge was constructed, it was the highest bridge in the state. Spanning the Carbon River, today the bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (For the uninitiated, it’s a one-lane, one-at-a-time passage.)

The Carbon River Road remains closed to motor vehicles due to flood damage.

Sightseers and outdoor enthusiasts are welcome to walk along the road to the entrance of the park enjoying the beauty of this remote corner of the park.

Others might choose to drive the Mowich Lake Road to the pristine waters of Mowich Lake. The road is unpaved after the first three miles and may be rough. In the winter this road is closed 10 miles from the lake and opens each summer in early July; check carefully for opening dates.

To reach these areas, turn right on SR 165, rather than following the driving route as it turns left.

• Buckley It’s the last stop before completing the loop. Dining and services are available.

Friday, April 10th at 3pm You are invited to be a part of the celebration by advertising in this upcoming feature section. It will run FRIDAY, APRIL 17 in the Auburn Reporter and WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15 in the Courier-Herald.

This section will highlight season events at the track, along with jockey profiles and the complete 2015 schedule. It will also reach more than 114,000 READERS in these markets.
