White River bridge to be closed April 15-23 Inspectors found the damage on the bridge last spring

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Responding to concerns and complaints from the Plateau business community, the state’s Department of Transportation last week made things official:

the White River Bridge between Enumclaw and Buckley will not be closed during the busy holiday season.

Instead, the DOT will conduct a week-long closure of the bridge from the evening of Friday, April 15 through Saturday morning, April 23. There may be single lane closures with alternating traffic across the bridge in the days leading up to and after the week-long closure.

A week-long closure was first

proposed during a November meeting with WSDOT at the Enumclaw library, a gathering that attracted nearly 80 people. DOT’s original plan was to close the bridge for multiple weekends, which brought fears of closing off cross-county shopping opportunities and impacting the southern access to the Crystal Mountain area.

The bridge is used by approxi-

Councilman Mark Hamilton recalls time serving Bonney Lake

By Ray Still Reporter

After 12 years of service on the Bonney Lake City Council, former Councilman Mark Hamilton exited stage left after the Dec. 8 meeting, the last meeting of the 2015 year.

Justin Evans was sworn in as the new

Position 2 council member alongside James Rackley, Tom Watson and Katrina Minton-Davis, who ran unopposed during the last election cycle.

Hamilton’s decision not to run for re-election this Mark Hamilton year was simple.

“I wanted to get some new blood on the council,” he explained.

“After a while you get unopposed and most people feel they can’t run against you.”

he improbable tale of Melanie Roach and her Olympicsized dream continues to grow and evolve, getting bigger and better with each passing chapter.

At an age where most world-class athletes are comfortable spinning hazy yarns from their glory days, the Bonney Lake resident continues to push the boundaries of strength and endurance. As many as six days a week, she can be found hoisting heavy metal in her renewed quest to remain on the world stage.

Roach is a weightlifter.

And so much more.

For those who follow such things, the Roach name is well known and well respected. She was the first American woman to clean-and-jerk more than double her body weight; she earned a bronze medal at the 2007 Pan American

Games and represented the United States at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, setting records on the way to a sixth-place finish on the world’s grandest stage.

That appeared to be her penultimate moment, the culmination of years of hard work, perseverance and recuperation from injury. There was no formal announcement of retirement from competitive lifting, but Roach – who turned 41 this week – returned home and settled into an alreadybusy life: she’s a business owner, overseeing Roach Gymnastics in Sumner; she’s married to a husband with a demanding job of his own; and then there’s the children. She and husband Dan – an elected member of the Pierce County Council, who previously served in the state legislature, had three kids at the time of the Beijing

OLYMPICS FROM 1 Olympics, a brood that has now grown to five, ranging in age from 4 to 14.

The competitive fire still burns

So, how does a busy mom/wife/entrepreneur find herself once again jetting off to weightlifting competition where she shares the stage with athletes perhaps half her age?

The condensed version goes like this: taking delivery of a new set of weights, Roach was again hooked by the feel of the steel, even the smell of metal plates. Still training a few times a week for personal and business reasons, she was encouraged by business partner Chelsea Herzog to resume competitive lifting.

Having posted some impressive numbers at the 2014 American Open, Roach then received a call from a representative with USA Weightlifting, a summertime call that came out of the blue and changed her life. The July call came on Friday and posed a series of questions: could she be in Toronto in three days, could she make the required weight and could she post the type of results

Wednesday, December 16, 2015 • THE COURIER-HERALD • Page 3 shown in recent competition? She was being asked to participate in the PanAm Games, one of the qualifying events for those hoping to advance to the U.S. Olympic Trials.

“It really was a miracle that I even received the call,” Roach says, explaining that several competitors ahead of her had to withdraw for a variety of reasons.

But the Toronto experience opened the door to a world of possibilities. Roach involved her immediate and extended family in a discussion and the choice was clear – she would dedicate the coming months to seeing how far she could travel in the world of weightlifting.

She calls it “restructuring my commitment.”

And it involves her mother moving into the Roach’s Bonney Lake home to lend a hand with the child-rearing duties while Herzog takes full responsibility of the business.

Since Toronto, she has been in full-time training mode. That means trips to Redmond most days, so she can train with coach Michael Street at his Fulcrum Training Hall.

And there are weekly sessions with massage therapist Dan Christofferson, who specializes in the

“structural integration” that Roach credits with turning her body into an efficient lifting machine.

“I’m still climbing back up to my personal best,” Roach notes, figuring she’s about 90 percent of the way toward matching her Beijing performance.

That proved plenty good earlier this month, when Roach headed to Reno, Nev., and the U.S. American Open Championships. There, she established American Masters records in the snatch (167 pounds), the clean-and-jerk (222 pounds) and combined total (389 pounds).

Those records might be nice, but Roach will not be defined by age. “I don’t think of myself as Masters,” she said, allowing that the descriptive phrase “vintage” might be more to her liking.

In the end, she maintains, “age will not limit me.”

Still, the years cannot be ignored. Of the 955 athletes in Reno, only three were older that Roach.

Considering her competition, she freely admits, “I could be their mother.”

But the question of age is certainly nothing new.

When Roach arrived at the Beijing Olympics she was 33, already fielding

questions about competing at an advanced age – advanced, that is, in the world of Olympic sports.

A new way of looking at lifting

With her previous lifting coach retired, Roach turned to Street, who has provided a new approach.

While physical strength is still required, Roach is aiming for technical proficiency, focusing on speed and explosiveness.

She is inspired by the results.

She is just as enthused about the change Christof ferson has brought about with regard to her body. His approach to deep-tissue massage, Roach said, has freed her muscles to work independently, as they did when she was much younger.

The road gets tougher

Based on her recent success, Roach has been invited by USA Weightlifting to a Feb. 19 competition in Philadelphia that will go a long way toward deter-

Following the February event, the top 15 women in the country – as determined by a complex formula – will be selected to take part in the Olympic Trials. The chosen 15 will be from across the seven weight classes making up the women’s sport.

“I think my chances are good,” Roach said of earning a trip to Salt Lake City, the site of the Olympic Trials. She currently is ranked 12th nationally.

The Trials are set for May 4-6 and will determine the team making the trip to the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ye Olde Lump of Coal gift gives to Vine Maple Place For nearly a decade the Palmer Coking Coal Company in Black Diamond has provided lumps of coal to Christmas shoppers looking for a funny gift or gag.

The goal is to raise funds for Vine Maple Place in Maple Valley, a nonprofit organization providing transitional housing for single mothers.

In traditional English folklore a lump of coal was left in the stockings hung over the fireplace of those who had been naughty the previous year.

In Italy children would be visited by an elderly woman named La Befana (derived from ‘epiphany’) who flew on her cleaning broom leaving treats for good children, but lumps of coal for the wicked.

Damage to the bridge’s overhead support structure was discovered during a routine inspection in April 2015, requiring an emergency sevenday closure for temporary repairs.

Engineers believe an over-height load struck the bridge in the westbound lanes. Immediately following discovery of the damage, WSDOT crews closed the bridge so workers could install steel rods to help carry the load of the damaged support beams. Crews also straightened the

member did help in discussing with the Post Office about getting Bonney Lake its own zip code.

“When I ran, there was this group that wanted the city to get its own zip code,” Hamilton said, remarking that prior to his election, the city used the same zip code as Sumner, 98352.

This group, Hamilton explained, wanted the city to have its own zip code in order to solidify a community identity.

“The problem was, this had nothing to do with the city. It was an issue for the Post Office,” he said.

Luckily for Hamilton, he just happened to have an inside connection inside the U.S. Postal service – his wife worked in management and operations and knew all the ins and outs of zip coding.

And as it turned out, there was a strong case based on efficiency for Bonney Lake having its own zip code.

“So she gave me all this inside information about what it would take to make the argument to the big cheeses at the Postal Service to get our own zip code,” he said.

With City Administrator Don Morrison, they both managed to make contact with a regional manager

Challenges

Not every decision council members make for the city is always clear-cut good or bad, and sometimes the final impact of a hard decision isn’t known until years down the road, as Hamilton discovered when the city decided to expand Allan Yorke Park back in 2004.

“Some days I regret the decision that was made, but some days I appreciated it,” he said.

A 13-acre parcel next to Allan Yorke Park, owned by Schurr Brothers Construction, was going to be rezoned in order to build more than 100 duplexes.

But in May 2004, after the rezone was approved, the council doubled back on their initial decision and condemned the land to expand Allan Yorke Park.

Hamilton was one of the six council members to approve the condemnation.

The condemnation was approved that August, but it came with a $6 million price tag.

“It was a tough, tough decision,” Hamilton said.

“And it’s hurt the city, $6 million dollars – that could

Hamiltion first got on the council because he was concerned about the growth of the city, and that the city was growing so quickly that transportation issues were being overlooked.

“Most people run because they think they can help,” Hamilton said. “That’s why I ran.”

One of his early goals was to get the council to focus on the Fennel Creek Trail and get that developed for the city.

Even though this was one of Hamilton’s first project goals when getting on the council in 2003, the Fennel Creek project started in 2011 when the city purchased the right-of-way rights.

The reason the project took so long to get started, Hamilton said, was because all the council members have their own agendas and are constantly cajoling each other to get funding to come their way.

“Once you get there, and Justin will find this out very quickly, is that you hit this brick wall, because no one wants to do what you want to do,” he said. “That’s what you find out right away; there are huge needs, huge wants, and there’s limited revenue in the city…. That’s what you spend most of your time on, jostling back and forth, especially in the general fund. Trying come up with enough revenue to do what you want to do.”

Hamilton’s first big project – and big success – actually had nothing to do with being on the council, though being a council

of the Postal Service, who eventually came out with his staff to hear their case.

After listening to Morrison’s and his presentation, Hamilton could tell the manager knew he knew too much, especially when Hamilton picked out the specific zip code that was free to be used - 98391.

“So I think the guy caught on about this – he knew,” Hamilton said. “But lo and behold, after the hour meeting, they went away, got back to us, and we got the zip code.”

Beginnings

“We did some tremendous (budget) cutting... but we didn’t do a hatchet job to it. We sculpted it. We still have the same structure of a city as we did.”

Governor shifts emission tactics

Nothing like a few days away from the office to get one’s spirit rejuvenated and energy recharged.

For Gov. Jay Inslee, it came in a trip to Paris, where he attended the international confab on climate change.

He hung out with folks who share his view that climate change poses the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity on this planet, folks obsessed with slowing the damage through every political and regulatory means possible.

The experience refueled Inslee’s confidence that Jerry Cornfield reducing emissions of pollution-causing Columnist carbon and other greenhouse gases is a concern among leaders of cities, states, provinces and nations worldwide.

“I don’t want to be too carried away by this moment,” he told reporters on a conference call Tuesday. “This has been an inspirational group that I’ve been talking to the last few days in Paris. I’m glad I’m here.”

Inslee returned to Olympia a week ago, a place where he’s thus far failed to move any significant carbon emission reduction legislation due to opposition from Republicans and reluctance of his fellow Democrats.

Now he’s trying to do so by rewriting the state’s clean air rules, a strategy which isn’t subject to legislative approval. But this effort may wind up helping clean the air above Quebec City or Los Angeles before it does Everett or Seattle.

At Inslee’s direction, the Department of Ecology is crafting the rule to establish limits on the amount of carbon pollution emissions for 31 companies and investorowned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants.

Over time, the cap for each emitter will be slowly reduced. Companies will be required to meet their first

CORNFIELD FROM 6 emission reduction deadline in 2020.

At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state.

Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing carbon pollution credits in cap-andtrade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec.

In other words, a company could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in the world.

“We have made no final decisions,” Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for Washington businesses doing their best to

meet the standards, he said.

“Our air becomes cleaner any time we reduce air pollution anywhere in the world,” he said. “It doesn’t matter where coal is burned it, ends up in our water in Puget Sound and in our kids’ lungs. Perhaps not so much the particulates, but the carbon dioxide is a worldwide phenomenon.

“So, when we (eliminate) a ton of coal being burned in Quebec it has an impact on improving our situation in Washington,” he said.

A draft of the rule is expected to be released in the next few weeks, followed by months of review and public hearings before possible adoption in late 2016.

Rights would be enforced not just nationally, but also in the states. After the Civil War, ex-Confederate whites worked very hard to nullify the Union victory by finding clever and violent ways to keep former slaves from enjoying their rights as American citizens, bestowed on them by the 14th Amendment. (For the full story, go to http:// landmarkcases.c-span.org/ Case/3/The-SlaughterhouseCases.)

The Slaughterhouse Case was one way this part of the Constitution was shoved aside. The setting was New Orleans. Butchers cutting up animals would throw the unwanted parts of their business into the Mississippi River. Unsightly and unsanitary dung, heads, entrails and other offal would flow downstream to pollute the drinking water of the residents of the city. Resulting cholera epidemics killed so many people that New Orleans gained the nickname, “the necropolis” (city of the dead).

The Louisiana state Legislature, made up of about one-third AfricanAmericans, tried to find a way to garner favor with former confederates by attempting to fix this unpopular and unsightly issue over the city’s butchers. The legislature passed a law to force the butcher’s guild to move to the other side of the river and concentrate their operations there. What the ex-Confederates did, instead, acting

as Anti-Federalists, was to turn this case on its head and to make it an issue to weaken the “immunities or privileges clause” of the 14th Amendment. The whites in the town, forgetting the stench, filth and cholera epidemics, supported the hated butchers in their fight to “put the blacks in their place.”

The butchers sued the Legislature, eventually ending up before the Supreme Court. Their argument was that in forcing the butchers to move their slaughtering operations to the other side of the river, their rights under the 14th Amendment had been taken away by an intrusive and overreaching state law. They were not getting “equal protection of the law.”

These Anti-Federalist Democrats used this court case to rip the rights of recently-freed blacks from them and to return AfricanAmericans to their secondclass status in the South.

The effect of the Supreme Court decision was to negate the Bill of Rights protections guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to former slaves.

This decision would set the precedent for almost 100 years of discrimination against African-Americans in the form of Jim Crow Laws in the South that kept blacks from voting, as well as segregating them from whites on buses and railroad cars, in restrooms, restaurants, drinking fountains and in schools. These civil rights violations were only ended because of the demonstrations of the 1950s and 1960s and the passage of the Civil

We So, I ask myself, what, must be nearing the in the name of all that’s end because it seems holy, is the problem? Ah Ross Holtz people are willing to ha, then I discover that is fight over just about the problem. It’s the word The Summit anything and every“holy.” Many people have thing. Now, in the never connected the word beginning of the 21st holy with the word holicentury, right at Christmas time, the sea- day. So, in case you are one of these, with son of peace, we have (drumroll please) the help of Wikipedia, the great purveyor The Greeting Wars. of absolute truth, let me explain. “The word You, gracious reader, must remember holiday comes from the Old English word the Bible verse that says, “Thou shalt not hāligdæg (hālig “holy” + dæg “day”). The saith, ‘Happy Holidays’ thou must saith, word originally referred only to special ‘Merry Christmas.’” You don’t remember religious days.” that one? Well, neither do I, but it must So, when the clerk says, “Happy Holiday,” be in there based on all the passion this he or she is actually saying, “Happy Holy topic brings out in some people. My soul, Day.” And, since we, as Christians, recI’ve even heard people say they wouldn’t ognize Christmas as our holiest of days… shop at certain stores because the check- well you get the picture.

But there is a problem with this whole subject. Do we actually enter a Target, or Walmart, or Fred Meyer expecting to receive an inspirational message? Aren’t we the ones supposed to be the purveyors of light?

Are we really expecting the overworked, underpaid store employee to offer us a personal devotional moment after ringing up our purchases? Oh, it is delightful to hear a cheerful “Merry Christmas” after giving some giant chain store all my money.

I love hearing it. But, we hear it less and less. But many times after hearing “Happy Holidays,” when I respond with, “Thank you, and a Merry Christmas to you,” the clerk will smile and return the salutation.

Yes, I too wish that all the stores and all their employees were bearers of the Christmas message while they take our money. Wouldn’t it be nice to be treated so specially while we buy gifts for our family and friends? It would be nice if they put a

Bible verse printed on a Hallmark Card in our bags, too.

But let’s get this right my brothers and sisters. Starbucks is not a religious institution. The barista is not paid to be our spiritual guide and the cups are not intended to be Our Daily Bread. The person wearing the apron is there to make our mocha, put it in a paper container and take our money. We are the ones responsible to offer the message of Christmas: love, joy, peace and hope. We are the ones responsible for the joy-filled greeting offered with a smile and a gentle spirit.

Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” I think that especially applies at Christmas. So, may your days be merry and bright. And may all your salutations be right.

Ha! Merry Christmas and I pray all your days will be holy.

See ya in church.

Jack/Dad/Papa Jack passed away peacefully November 19, 2015.

He was born on February 20, 1933 in Auburn WA to Arie and Dirkje Boere and was preceded in death by his brother, Peter Boere and sister, Nellie Gleason.

Jack is survived by his wife, Marilyn, 3 children – Lisa Stewart (Jerry), Scott Boere (B’Ann) and Leanne Scarpello (Joey), and six grandchildren, Jake and Mitch Stewart, Brett and Gage Scarpello, and Michaela and Payton Boere. His children and grandchildren were his ongoing source of passionate love and pride that could not be measured!

After graduating from Enumclaw High School in 1951, he enlisted in the Navy, where he learned to fly, and make even more life-long friends. He continued his love for flying as a private pilot for many years out of the Enumclaw, Renton and Covington airports.

Jack retired from AT&T in Auburn, WA after 30 years and drove school bus for the Highline School District for another 18 years, where he developed long term, caring relationships with the kids and parents alike. His personality was fun and magnetic, and filled with energy and excitement. It seemed he could talk to anyone and there wasn’t anyone he didn’t already know. Jack enjoyed life, and never more than attending gatherings with family and friends. His attendance at games and love of high school and college sports, and all of the kids, parents, teachers and coaches were a continued passion in retirement that he followed and looked forward to each week. Jack was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.

A celebration of life will be held from 11:00am – 2:00pm at the Sea-Tac Community Center on December 20th, 2015.

Address: Sea-Tac Community Center: 13735 24th Ave. South, Seattle Washington, 98168. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the American Cancer Society or St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.

HAMILTON FROM 5

major city services, but those reserves are coming to an end.

“That fund balance has gone away, and expenditures are up,” he said. “So we are at a crux. Not this fiscal year, but probably the next biennium, when we will see some tough times. Now we will have to do some restructuring.”

have gone into parks.

“It’s going to be worth it,” he continued. “But you think, boy, maybe I shouldn’t have made that decision. Knowing what I know now, I may have voted slightly different.”

Knowing what to do when the recession hit was another challenge Hamilton and the council had to manage.

“We did some tremendous cutting, and that was difficult, but we didn’t do a hatchet job to it,” Hamilton said. “We sculpted it. We still have the same structure of a city as we did. We haven’t changed that much.”

Hamilton said the city was able to use reserve money from the growth boom they had to get through the recession without having to cut

After the council

Although he is no longer on the council, Hamilton will still be working with the city on projects he wants to see continue developing.

“I’m still going to be involved in things. I want to see the city move forward,” he said. “One of the problems with being on the City Council is you can’t really legally communicate with other members unless you’re

in a meeting.”

“You can call one or two of them, but you can’t call all of them,” Hamilton continued.

“But now I can call them all.”

One of the projects Hamilton would like to see started is the merging of the Bonney Lake Police Department with Puyallup’s, and maybe even Sumner’s, in order to save money.

“The big kahuna in the general fund is the police force. That’s the same in all cities,” he said. “We should seriously look at a metropolitan police force.”

Merging the police forces, Hamilton said, would help reduce redundancy in labor and the chain of command at the price of losing some community identity.

Another project Hamilton wants to keep an eye on is the Washington State University Demonstration Forest devel-

opment – specifically, how the city decides to manage any remaining forest.

Hamilton said that while the plan is still very flexible, the current idea is to split the park in half; the south-western half of the park would be developed for stormwater management, and the north-eastern half would be ballparks. This would leave none, or almost none, of the original forest left.

Hamilton’s idea would be to instead build the ballparks over the storm water drains and ditches, which would save about 20 acres of forest out of the total 40 acres the city owns.

Putting the ballfields over the storm water drains would make the project more expensive, but Hamilton said he is looking at whether the project could be at least partly funded through the city’s

storm water utility fund, and not just the general fund.

“You have to look at the long term,” he said. “Yeah, you could cut all the trees

down and it would be cheaper. But long term, 20, 30 years, you still have the standing forests and the ballfields. You have both.”

Patriot’s Pen Contest Winner

Dear Families,

We are very proud of our sixth grade Enumclaw Middle School student, Sophia DeMarco, who won the Enumclaw VFW Post 1949 writing contest with her essay.

The principals, cabinet and I meet every two weeks Congratulations, Sophia!

for our leadership team meeting. Three weeks ago, Lynn Loftstrom, one of our Literacy Coaches, led us through a close reading strategy with the purpose of demonstrating the power of carefully reading a piece of text more than once (Close Reading). We all felt our comprehension, understanding and connections of the text increased dramatically. The strategy was done using paper copies of the text with pencils and highlighters.

Last week, Chris Beals, Terry Parker and Tracy Brown gave us a new piece of text (electronically) and we went through each step of the same close reading process but this time instead of using a paper copy of the text, pencils and highlighters, we did everything electronically. Below you will see a comparison of how we did this.

Close Reading Strategy

Using Paper, Pencil and Highlighters

1. Listen to text as it is read aloud.

Provide handout of text.

2. Reread text to self. Underline words or phrases that you are unsure of, are wondering about, or jump out at you.

3. Write questions or wonderings about underlined text on paper as you reread 4. Turn and Talk about your questions and wonderings 5. List questions from the group on large chart paper 6. Identify questions for follow-up

Using Digital Tools

1. Listen to text as it is read aloud. Text sent out electronically.

2. Reread text to self. Use toolbar in the Google doc. containing the text to underline or highlight.

3. Use “Comment” button on toolbar to pose questions or wonderings about underlined text 4. Turn and Talk about your questions and wonderings 5. List questions from group in a shared document that all can view 6. Assign questions to research and provide time to follow-up

In our short time to debrief this, we found the strategy to be just as effective and more efficient using our electronic devices. The efficiency of collaboration and how a teacher could view the individual questions and wonderings was greater because each teacher could access a shared document with all of the students’ comments. As we integrate additional electronic devices into our system, we will continue to explore how we can adapt and even push the thinking of good strategies to higher levels through the use of technology.

In partnership with you,

The dictionary tells us freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. To me, freedom is captured in faces, not words. I think of our country’s history and its heroes. I think of those who fought for freedom, those who stood for freedom, and those who embodied freedom.

Freedom is the power to act. It is Rosa Parks standing for freedom to live equally. It is Benjamin Franklin standing for American freedom on England’s soil. It is our founding fathers gathering for freedom and signing a Declaration of Independence guaranteeing each man and woman freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Freedom is the power to dream. It is Amelia Earhart dreaming of having the freedom to fly.

It is Martin Luther King who had “a dream” of brotherhood, and a nation that was an oasis of “freedom and justice”. It was Neil Armstrong who dreamed the impossible and took one “small step for man and a giant leap for mankind.” It is Abraham Lincoln who dreamed of peace in conflict and unity in war.

Freedom is the power to choose. It is the Miracle Worker, Anne Sullivan, who chose to see potential in Helen Keller and freed her to communicate. It is thousands of men and women, who have risked their futures, their families and their lives to fight for the freedoms of America and its citizens. It is mothers who give their children wings to fly. It is teachers that free their students to think. It is children who see the world as possibility and refuse to be told they cannot make a difference.

Freedom is to be treasured. Gail Halvorsen once told me that he had asked some children in post World War II Germany why they were so happy, despite having nothing. They responded, “We have freedom and that is worth more than anything.” For those with freedom, it is often taken for granted.

For those without freedom, it is priceless. To me, freedom is living in a country where I get to stand for what I believe in, even if I stand alone. Where I can pursue my dreams, no matter how unrealistic.

Where my freedom to choose has been paid for in the blood of those who truly valued freedom.

Westwood Jingle Bell Run 65 runners qualified for the Westwood Jingle Bell Run held Friday, December 4th. The runners received a holiday hat and ran to six different stations where they picked up a prize. The runners returned to the Jingle Bell Cafe for a pizza lunch and more prizes! Thank you to the Westwood PTO and parents for supporting the Running Club. And thank you to PE teacher, Jill Carlson, for planning and facilitating this fun event!

Thunder Mountain students Kolby Vogel and Shelby Callahan open the assembly honoring our Nation’s Veterans

Socktober Sunrise teacher, Marilyn Firnkoess, and her class collected 60 pairs of socks for kids in need during the month of “Socktober.” This is a part of their classroom commitment to BE AWESOME (helping others in big and small ways each day). Thank you to Mrs. Firnkoess and her students for their concern for others!

Active Learners!

At a recent meeting, our school and district leaders actively took part in learning about a variety of technology tools to help support student learning in our classrooms.

As we continue to bring more devices and increased access for our students, these tools will help us achieve our goal of helping all students to build academic growth and skills for success in the world of college and career through the use of technology.

T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the yard, not a gift was given, not even a card.

The tools were all hung, in the carport with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon would repair, the shovel with blade all rusty and cracked, the pitchfork still shiny, but handle it lacked.

When out on my lawn, (it’s brown and abused) I could see poor old Santa, looking con-

Mayor and Council Honors Councilmember Mark Hamilton

L

ong serving Bonney Lake Councilmember Mark Hamilton was honored and recognized at the final Council meeting of the year for his dedication and many years of service to the City of Bonney Lake. Mark joined the City Council in 2004, and prior to that served on the City’s Civil Service Commission for 12 years. Mark was a thoughtful and devoted councilmember who put the best interest of the community first and foremost.

He represented the City on the Pierce Council Regional Council, and served for several years as a Member of the Pierce County Juvenile Diversion Council. Mark is an active member of the Greater Bonney Lake Historical Society and a key figure in establishing the Milotte Film Festival. Mark has always been a champion of the environment and has been, a volunteer for Beautify Bonney Lake, Park Appreciation Day, and Arbor Day. He took the Council lead on establishing a community forestry program and obtaining “Tree City USA” designation for the City. Hamilton, who did not run for re-election, is being replaced on the Council by Justin Evans. 

Bonney Lake Snow-Ice Control Information henever it snows or roads get icy, City Public Works crews clear snow from priority roads first. Priority roads include those around medical facilities, schools, main arteries, and on hills. The goal is to clear all roads cleared within 15 hours, unless the storm is prolonged. First, priority roads take precedence and other streets (residential and dead-end streets) will be cleared when conditions allow. Sanding starts when there is close to two inches of snow on the street or, in areas with steep streets, just before a major storm arrives. Sand is generally applied only on hills and at intersections. Snow plowing starts when about four inches of snow accumulates on streets, or earlier when continuing snowfall is projected or a hazardous situation exists. As the current economic crisis has resulted in decreased City budgets, residents may not see the same level of service as in past years.

Residents Can Help By: • Park all vehicles, trailers, and boats off of streets, until the snow is removed • Clear snow from sidewalks as soon as possible, but not later than 12 hours after snow has ceased to fall. Do not place snow removed from driveways or sidewalks onto the street.

• Give the sand spreader and snowplow vehicles plenty of room • Drive cautiously and defensively.

• Volunteer your services. Remove snow from around fire hydrants near your home.

• Clear snow from around mailboxes.

• If snow is thrown by snow plows onto sidewalks or any other snow/ice control problem is seen by residents, you are encouraged to call the Public Works Department at 447-4341.
