Wilbanks wins close Buckley race By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
It took a month, but Luke Wilbanks finally knows he’ll be occupying a seat on the Buckley City Council. Determining a winner in the council’s Position 3 race required the Pierce County
Elections Department to count every vote by hand. But, in the end, nothing changed and Wilbanks was officially the winner by a 455-454 margin. That’s exactly where Wilbanks and Chuck Helmer stood on election night, Nov. 7, and that’s
where things remained Nov. 28 when the county certified the general election. Because the margin was less than one-fourth of 1 percent, a hand count was required. The Elections Department started that task Dec. 4 and certified its findings a sec-
ond time two days later. According to the department’s website, Buckley ballots were isolated and sorted by precinct, then placed into two stacks – one for Wilbanks and one for Helmer. Ballots were then manually counted by a pair of election workers, then

In a move that was philosophically opposed by a pair of council members, the city of Enumclaw has taken control of the local Transportation Benefit District. The move may not be noticeable to the general public, as the collection and distribution of money should be unchanged. Also, the people controlling the dollars and cents remain the same. Transfer of the TBD to city control was opposed by Chance LaFleur and Juanita Carstens, the latter being the most vocal. They objected because the TBD was initially designed to be separate from city control, even though the seven-member City Council made up the TBD board. The state authorized the creation of Transportation Benefit Districts throughout Washington, each existing as an independent taxing entity. In a more recent development, the state issued the go-ahead for cities to assume control. That didn’t sit well with Carstens, who felt the council

With their kids all moved out of the house, Suzy and Brent Fountaine thought they’d use some of the extra room to really get back into the holiday spirit. It took an entire month to unpack everything, wire the houses and lights together and build a base, but the Fountaine’s expansive Christmas village is back and bigger than ever. The 8 foot by 12 foot miniature village started
out a small set of six houses the couple bought in 2003 when they were married, “and that started this whole fiasco,” Suzy said. The village kept growing year after year as friends gifted more houses, shops, people and more to the couple, or when they’d find a particularly cute model at Goodwill or Wal-Mart. They stopped putting out the village in 2013, but now the couple plans to build it up even more in the future. Now, the Fountaines have more than 400 trees

short end of a 5-2 vote. In favor of making the TBD a city function were Steve Cadematori, Anthony Wright, Jan Molinaro, Hoke Overland and Kim Lauk. Enumclaw’s TBD was formed in May 2013 to provide a mechanism for collecting money; the sole purpose of the TBD funds is to maintain city streets. Since its inception, the TBD
board has taken two steps to generate cash. In 2014, the TBD board established a vehicle license fee of $20, placed on all license renewals in the city. The fee went into effect Sept. 1 of that year and generates well over $200,000 annually. In 2015, the TBD put a ballot issue before voters, asking for an increase of one-tenth of 1 percent in the local sales tax. Again, the
money was earmarked expressly for road maintenance. It was passed in November of that year and went into effect on April 1, 2016. The tax expires with the close of March 2026. The city’s 2018 budget anticipates the Transportation Benefit District will take in revenues of $240,000 from license fees and $310,000 from the voter-approved sales tax.
WINNER’S CIRCLE
There’s also a beginning balance of more than $1.3 million, money that has been collected but not spent. This year brought a major accomplishment in TIB circles, with the completion of a Pavement Preservation Project. In all, parts of 38 streets were improved and 67 curbside access ramps were brought into alignment with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Local authors publish their first novels By Ray Still Assistant Editor
Sometimes, you just can’t get an idea out of your head. For two local authors, this certainly has been the case. Since they were kids, James Peet of Enumclaw and Tommy Rice of Bonney Lake had some ideas in their heads, ones that never quite left them, even as they grew older, got jobs, and settled down with their wives and kids of their own. Somewhere along the way, they decided to put their ideas down to paper, and last month, finally published their first ever novels, which are now available for local readers to pick up and read during the holiday season.
“Surveyor”
Peet isn’t a stranger to writing. He’s a former police officer, has a Bachelors, Masters and PhD in geography and runs his own fraud investigation business, so Peet is used to writing reports, papers and magazine articles. But this is the first time he’s ever written a novel, especially one as expansive as “Surveyor” promises to be. Published Nov. 5, the novel follows Bill Clark, a University of Washington graduate and geologist. After accepting his diploma,
James Peet recently had a book signing event at A Good Book in Sumner, and hopes to have a similar event at Enumclaw’s The Sequel in the near future. PHOTO BY EVELYN NICHOLAS
Clark is offered a job with the Corps of Discovery, an organization that operates from an Earth in a different dimension. “What they do is they open up portals to other parallel Earths, and they explore them,” Peet summarized. “The whole premise is to be able to open up to a parallel Earth, explore it, then open it up for settlement and exploitation from Earth. Like moving populations from one area to another.” As Clark finished his training with the Corps, he’s deployed on two different surveys, and the story
picks up with something goes horribly wrong during the second. One unique aspect Peet has included in his book is that, while the plot and the science behind the dimension-hopping is obviously fictional, the geology science he writes about is accurate, given his background as a geologist. “It’s a good hero’s journey, like the Iliad, if you would,” he said. “But it also shows geography as a real discipline that people do. They learn about geographic information systems, remote sensing platforms, how to actually produce maps. Plus there’s a survival component, because they have to go through survival school, because, if you wind up on a planet full of smilodons (sabertoothed tiger) and woolly mammoths and mastodons, you’ve got to know how to survive.” As an avid reader, Peet was always intrigued by alternative histories and parallel dimensions, thanks to the works of Robert Heinlein (“Between Planets”), H. Beam Piper (“Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen”) and Harry Turtledove (“The Guns of the South”). “I’ve always considered parallel Earths to be ripe for discussion. Alternative history,” Peet said. “So that’s how I came up with it.” Peet had a recent signing event
at A Good Book in Sumner on Dec. 6, but he’s thinking about having another similar event in Enumclaw at The Sequel. Both bookstores currently sell his books. “Surveyor” is expected to be the first in a series of three (called “The Corps of Discovery” series), the second of which Peet plans to publish in 2018, and the third in 2019. He wants the third book to tie into another alternative history series he’s planning. “I’ve got about three different series I’m in the works on, but I’m focusing on one at a time right now,” he said. You can read more about Peet and his writing projects on his blog site, jamespeet.com, and his Facebook.
“The Lok”
Football fans may remember the name Tommy Rice, who tried out for the Seahawks back in 2013. What many people may not know is Rice is hugely into science fiction and fantasy, which all started with his relationship with his father. Together, Rice and his dad would create miniatures and construct elaborate chess sets, and would create whole stories and worlds for their creations to inhabit. About 13 years ago, his dad

passed away, and “I was sitting in Los Angeles Airport, and I just started writing,” Rice said. “And I thought about some of the stories and memories, and a few years later, I looked at that, and I thought, I’m going to finish this.” It took Rice six years to finish his first novel, “The Lok,” possibly due to the fact that he’s created a world of his own, and only bases it (extremely) loosely off a reality similar to ours. The book is dedicated to his father. In Rice’s world, King Ultima Thule of Partha Terra (Earth) is killed by the alien race known as the Razium. Ultima Thule is known by his people as a Lok, a mage who is able to open up a door to the Labrynthian, which allows him to travel any place he wishes. With Ultima Thule dead, the Razium hope to use his son, Prince Lincoln, as a weapon of destruction, since he has the same

tried to incorporate parts of the Plateau in their village, though Suzy said she wants to focus even more on that in the future. For example, there’s a Café Elite coffee shop in the village, with a sign based on the real life coffee shop in Buckley (Suzy often works for them as a graphic designer), and the ski lift uses the same colors that are used on Crystal

Mountain. Not everything was gifted or bought — Suzy sculpted much of the environment for her village from foam and painted it herself, like the large tunnel the Polar Express goes through. Other parts of the village, like some stairs and icicles, were made with a 3D printer. “3D printing is cool, but it takes forever,” Suzy said. “I have to wait seven hours to get my staircase, and even two to get a decent icicle.” After this year, the village will be moving out of their living room and
into one of the now unused rooms upstairs as a permanent display, “so I can work on the little details year round,” Suzy said. Of course, words can only do the village so much justice, but luckily for Plateau residents, Suzy and Brent want to share their holiday spirit with their community. They said they are available all day on Sundays, so anyone who wants to visit the village and learn more about it can contact Suzy via Facebook or email her at suzyfountaine@live.com.

The prince, of course, has other plans, and escaped with his uncle and commander of his father’s army, while a member of the late king’s personal guard, Spartan Paladin Walker, tries to find the prince before the Razium. “It’s the epic-ness of Star War and Lord of the Rings, the look of Harry Potter, slam it together, sprinkle
Some of the houses for the village are sentimental, like ones given to the Fountaines by friends and family who have died.

Rice wanted his writing to have his characters face monstrous obstacles and otherworldly situations, “and give it a sense of humanity, of realism, in a fantasy world in those situations,” he said. “My brother, for instance, lost our father and he was lost and didn’t know where to turn. He was able to talk to me, and we worked it out. I sort of took that with Lincoln, and started to use some of the real world setting that my brother gave to
me as the character.” “The Lok” is the first of its series, called the Partha Wars. The second book, “Lok and Key,” is expected to be published in 2018, and the third, “Unloked,” in 2019. Rice will be hosting a book signing at Prime Fitness in Bonney Lake on Dec. 18, from 4:30 to 6:30, and there will be a limited number of books on hand, though copies of the book can be bought on Amazon.

Page-turners: Best books of 2017
And the envelope, please… Continuing an end-of-year tradition that dates back more than 15 years, the King County Library System has chosen its Best Books of 2017. Each year, librarians in the KCLS Selection Department compile a list of their favorite books in each of four categories: Fiction, Nonfiction, Teens and Children’s. Starting with nearly 400 titles, it takes a lot of reading to whittle the list down to 100, Stephen Smith but no one is comColumnist plaining. The Best Books list is something we bibliophiles look forward to each year. Everyone is curious about what books make the list and enjoy comparing notes on each other’s favorites. As the KCLS collection has grown over the years, so too has the Best Books list. In 2017, it features 25 titles in each category (at one time, there were only eight per category) and incorporates a balance of topics and genres to appeal to KCLS’ broad audience of readers. So how do our librarians choose the Best Books? There are many factors. Surprisingly, circulation is not necessarily one of them. For instance, books that may be lesser known but cause children and parents to light up, can and do, make the list. According to KCLS’ Readers’ Services Specialist, Emily Calkins, ‘best’ means something that patrons enjoy. Librarians also consider professional reviews from sources such as Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus and Booklist, and whether a book has been long-listed for the National Book Award, Carnegie Medal or others. While only librarians nominate books, for the first time this year, all staff were given the opportunity to vote for their favorites, and more than 150 responded. SEE BOOKS, PAGE 10

Letters Anthem protests about equality, not disrespect For all who write negative comments about the football players who took a knee and posted that “this is not the America we grew up in,” let me share a few of the personal events from my life growing up in Tacoma, Washington, as a white woman. 1. During World War II, a black man and the father of two of my good friends was awarded the Purple Heart and the gold star for his military service. He returned to his home in the south under Jim Crow laws with “whites only” signs posted everywhere. He moved his family to Tacoma where the only job he could get was that of a janitor in one of our schools. A war hero becomes a janitor. How many other people of color, who served, came home to the same indignities? 2. With GIs from WWII coming back through Ft. Lewis and McCord
wanting to buy homes in Tacoma, the upper Hilltop area, which was home to many immigrant families, was redlined by real-estate to be the only section of the city where blacks could purchase a home. Keeping them all in one area of the city was the norm. 3. In 1959 I marched with four of my friends in the Daffodil Parade. One of our four was black. When we stopped at Woolworth for lunch, a waitress came over to our booth and said my black cheerleader friend could not order or be served there. We went across the street to Kress, where a waitress told us the same thing. Blacks are not served there. That was the beginning of my involvement with picketing against establishments of segregation. 4. In 1975, the first-grade teacher at Sheridan, who lived in Puyallup, reserved tables at the Puyallup Elks for our last day of school staff party. At the door, our third-grade teacher of Hawaiian/Asian descent was told that she could not enter or be served at the Elks Club. It was for “whites”
only. This same teacher recited the Pledge of Allegiance every day in her classroom and sang the national anthem at our school assemblies. Take a look at the total number of Japanese descent who were taken out of their homes and placed into internment camps, even though they were born in America and pledged their allegiance to the flag. I could cite several more personal experiences where America was proud of segregation, so for you to say that football players are disrespecting the flag is to not understand the years of struggle for many of its citizens. They were willing to fight for our freedoms, but are denied equal treatment to this day. Open your eyes and see what was really happening in America. Far too many people suffered humiliation, even death from the KKK so each of us needs to take a knee and apologize for the treatment of our fellow human beings. Linda Pearn Bonney Lake
U.S., Russia agree on Middle East situation Since Russia helped Syria’s Bashar al-Assad stay in power and helped to defeat ISIS, are Russia and the U.S. at odds in the Middle East? Is Russia threatening American dominance in the region? The answer to both is no. Russia and the U.S. actually have similar goals regarding this tinderbox region. They are actually cooperating behind the scenes. Will there be a new Cold War between Russia and the U.S.? The answer is no. The U.S. is much stronger, both militarily and economically. There is no equivalence. When Vladimir Putin attacked Georgia back in 2008, his military showed its lack of competence and preparedness, even though the Russians prevailed. Russia is in the Middle East to bolster its loss of influence in Ukraine. It also has interests in the countries that lie on its southern border which potentially are a threat. During Russia’s war against ISIS and the anti-Assad rebels, the Russian military made a better showing, but Putin only had 70 aircraft involved in the conflict, including helicopters, fighter jets and bombers, according to a Dec. 2, 2017, “Geopolitical Futures” video featuring Middle East director of analysis, Jacob Shapiro. That is hardly a show of great force that challenges U.S. dominance. Putin’s help was enough to prevent the toppling of al-Assad from power, which was a potential and real threat because of ISIS. While Russia’s entry into the Syrian conflict caused the U.S. to lose face, in actuality Russia did the U.S.’s dirty work for us. Given the Syrian civil war and the threat of a Syrian takeover from ISIS, President Barack Obama had to

back off on his redline threat over al-Assad’s use of chemical-biological warfare. Obama wanted alAssad to go, but given the choice between an ISIS dominated Syria, reality demanded that al-Assad remain, according to Shapiro. Although Putin has talked with Iran, he has also spent time talking with Turkey and recently with Saudi Arabia. He doesn’t want to see any major power develop in the Middle East, because any one of the three could pose a threat to Russian interests. Iran currently dominates Shia majority Iraq and has al-Assad as an ally in Syria, giving Iran the potential to expand its territorial influence in the region. Turkey remembers its glorious past when the Ottoman Empire controlled much of this contested region. Turkey’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been gaining more and more power in his country and has ambitions to restore that former glory. Saudi Arabia is feeling insecure and threatened in the region. Iran is rising and poses a major threat to Saudis and their oil fields. The Saudis have been hurting financially because of low petroleum prices. Saudi money in the past has been used to bribe and maintain peace both inside and outside the country. Much of that oil wealth has dimin-
ished. The U.S. has gained virtual petroleum self-sufficiency and no longer feels such a strong need to protect Saudi interests. The Saudis are in a costly and frustrating war with the Houthis to their south in Yemen. Since the Houthis are Shia, they have been receiving aid from Shia Iran. Saudi Arabia has had to shoot down two Iranian-supplied missiles recently. Iraq, being under Iranian domination, adds to Saudi fears. The Saudis, fearing Iran, have forged behind-the- scenes cooperation with the Israelis and have had talks with Putin. They also have been involved with Lebanon and its prime minister. The Shia Hezbollah with their army dominate Lebanon and, since they are allied with Iran, make the Saudis very uncomfortable. Neither the United States nor Russia wants either Turkey, Iran or Saudi Arabia to control the Middle East. Both would prefer a balance of power. So, behind the scenes, both countries are actually working together to create stability in the region. The defeat of ISIS has created more instability, since all three regional powers were united in defeating ISIS. As long as they had a common enemy, attention was focused away from their differences. That no longer is the case. U.S. hegemony is not really threatened in the Middle East. There is no return to the Cold War and Putin and Trump have common interests in not allowing any regional power to dominate the region. They are cooperating behind the scenes. What you read in the news belies the geopolitical reality on the ground in the Middle East.

If we have been following the news lately, it certainly contains stories that convey the darker side of life. I began to notice how many times people who gather in public places to commemorate the deaths of people light candles. Often there are dozens and dozens of candles burning in memory of persons who have died because of violence, accidents and the like. It would seem that to attend and share memories. All may sign her online guest book at www.weeksfuneralhomes.com.

“The good news is that we can approach Jesus as many times as we need and he will be there. It is like my fumbling with the house keys. I try to remember to turn on the porch light, but still forget. So, in life, we still fumble around from time to time. But, the light is still there. All we have to do is turn to it.”
CARL ERB Carl M. Erb Jr., 88, of Enumclaw, died Nov. 29, 2017. He was born Feb. 7, 1929, in Bellingham, Washington, to Carl and Mable Erb. He graduated from the University of Puget Sound with a master’s degree
many people find illuminating the darkness an important act that is intended to add light to a dark situation. Returning to the Isaiah passage, we are reminded that the birth of Jesus is the beginning of experiencing the coming of a great light. His whole life was a series of messages and actions intended to “light the way” to a life with God. It is to him that we are encouraged to turn.
Notice that in God’s wisdom, Jesus was sent to give us encouragement, a moral path for living and to experience salvation. It was God’s action on our behalf, not the other way around. The good news is that we can approach Jesus as many times as we need and he will be there. It is like my fumbling with the house keys. I try to remember to turn on the porch light, but still forget. So, in life, we still fumble around from time to time. But,
the light is still there. All we have to do is turn to it. As you move through this Advent season, take the time reflect upon the larger meaning of lighting candles. It is the reminder that our life is illuminated when we turn to Jesus. His light has the power to lighten our load, lift us up from sorrow and to reassure us of things that reach beyond the daily activities of life. We light candles to reflect our hope.

Recently I came home from shopping and it was already dark outside. I got out of the car and went up the steps to our back door. Oh, no, I forgot to put the porch light on before I left! I fumbled with the keys and found it hard to get the key in the lock because I couldn’t see well. How many times have I done this and said to myself, I will put the porch light on the next time I leave in the afternoon. I suspect we have all done this at least once before. As we approach Advent, there are many Scriptural references to overcoming darkness. One in particular seems especially appropriate. In Isaiah 9:2 it says, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.”

The second week of December is the time to buy potted poinsettias and hellebores as gift plants to add some life to your holiday shopping. Poinsettias are the traditional potted plant for gift giving but hellebores are growing in popularity because they take up less space and can be planted into the garden after a few weeks indoors. Hellebores live long and are an easy care perennial that will flower every winter, making them the perfect gift that keeps on giving – and blooming. Gift plants are practical as well as pretty options for office workers, nature lovers, minimalists, environmentalist, decorators, the elderly and anyone who does not want more calories or more things to store.

By Britt Nelson Director, Plateau Outreach Ministries “John” came in to do laundry this morning. He is a young man who drifts between homelessness and couch surfing. He was in the back loading the washer, visiting with staff and volunteers. All of a sudden I heard a scream, a whoop and a “yay”! Another volunteer walked through and asked about the party in the pantry. John shared that he was just hired for a new job and starts in two days! This was definitely news for celebration. At Plateau Outreach Ministries, we have recently adjusted our tagline to better reflect our days-“Compassionately serving our community.” This compassion is not just when we feel like it. It’s not just toward a specific person or for a specific instance. This compassion is natural and easy, just part of every day at POM. Our celebration with John is not unusual. For John, we at POM were the family he wanted to share his news with. I love that the sound of celebration makes its way through our building and all come to join in. This support and compassion means the world to John. It gives him hope. This same week “Shelly” who has been living on a very tight budget also came to share good news. We have met with Shelly during her difficult times, helping with utilities and additional resources to help her make ends meet during a tough month. Shelly also volunteers as a way to give back. This week, Shelly came bounding in to share, “I had a really good interview and think I’m going to get hired by Amazon for the holidays.” We all excitedly
celebrated Shelly and her accomplishment. “Tom” was just here to show off his new glasses! He also wore a huge smile. He wanted to show our staff his new look and to say thank you. He was here several weeks ago, not even able to read the sign-in sheet because his glasses had broken. His spirit was broken as well. He had no way of paying for an appointment or getting new ones. We are grateful for the Lions Club program that helps with exactly that. This gift changed Tom’s whole outlook. It was good to see him happy. We love good news and celebrating with our neighbors who are making progress toward better situations. Sometimes the meetings we have with neighbors in crisis don’t have a solution. We offer resources and contacts, but when bills are too large or no housing is available or multiple issues create barriers all we can do is listen. We listened to a grandma and her 12-year-old granddaughter who are homeless and living in their car. We have no way of offering them shelter or housing for their situation. We compassionately listen. A kind volunteer takes the time to acknowledge their pain and hear their story. They leave with resources, additional places to try for help and housing. We offer food and clothing. This is a tough day! We are thankful to be here to listen, to honor our neighbors in their difficult situations and to celebrate their victories. We love being a part of this community and being family for those who have none. Thank you for helping us compassionately serve our neighbors in need.

Hornets take all-sport title Senior Writer
Thanks to a pair of team titles, Enumclaw High School was named the fall all-sport champion of the South Puget Sound League’s Olympic Division. The Hornets bested seven other schools when overall placings were tallied. The all-sport honor considers all nine fall sports, giving equal weight to each. A school gets eight points for a first-place finish, seven points for coming in second and so on. Points are divided equally when teams tie. Enumclaw received maximum points in both girls soccer and boys golf, where the Hornets topped the
standings. The football team divided first- and second-place points after tying AuburnRiverside for the Olympic title. The all-sport championship came by virtue of performances across the athletic landscape. Each of Enumclaw’s fall teams finished in the top half of the league. The remainder of the division, in all-sport order, was: Auburn Riverside, 56.5; Auburn Mountainview, 50.5; Thomas Jefferson, 39.5; Todd Beamer, 34; Federal Way, 33; Decatur, 26.5; and Auburn, 24. In the SPSL Cascade Division, Tahoma led the way with 64.5 points. The Bears took team championships in four of the fall’s nine sports.
White River wrestlers top foes By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
The White River High gymnasium was the place to be Dec. 6, as some of the state’s top wrestling teams – and a handful of highly-ranked individuals – gathered for a night of competition. The four teams attending were the host Hornets, who carried a No. 3 preseason ranking by Washington Wrestling Report; the Bonney Lake Panthers, ranked No. 6; the No. 12 Tahoma Bears; and the No. 15 squad from Lake Stevens.

Winter season in full swing at Enumclaw High By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Boys wrestling The Enumclaw High boys have returned for another season on the mat, looking to improve upon last year’s resumé that included a thirdplace finish at regionals and a 27th-
place showing at the Class 4A state tournament. This year’s Hornet squad is headed by a pair of seniors who battled their way to the 4A state meet a year ago. At the Tacoma Dome, Quinton Southcott finished fourth while competing at 138 pounds, his third trip to the state podium; Austin Rewoldt also had qualified, wrestling at 220.
Anthony Russell, now a junior, was a state alternate last year. In the early season lineup, coach Adam Eilers has Cole Brown at 106 pounds; Brandon Cormier at 113; Anthony Martinez, 120; Zane Eilers, 126; Aidan Carroll, 132; Edgar Garnica, 138; Russell at 145; Southcott at 152; Duncan Somera, 160; Matthew Dion, 170; Trevor
Chase, 182; Alex Roth, 195; Ryder Popke, 220; and Rewoldt at 285. Eilers points out he has a young squad with just three seniors, but notes his wrestlers are “getting better every week. They push and work hard every day.” A roster of 36 Hornet wrestlers have been put through their earlyseason paces. Competition begin
with the White River Classic and, during the past week, included a dual meet against Auburn Riverside and Saturday’s Decatur Invitational. Tonight, Wednesday, Enumclaw hosts a North Puget Sound League dual meet with Todd Beamer.

Then...
Plenty of faces remain from last year’s squad that placed third at the Class 2A state championships. A season ago, White River trailed only Toppenish and local powerhouse Orting. In all, nine Hornets advanced through district and regional competition a season ago, eventually
earning entry into the state tournament. Heading the all-star list for new coach Tim Kitchen is junior Nate Moore, who captured an individual title a year ago. Teammate Ryan Redford, now a senior, also advanced to last year’s championship round, taking second-place
honors. Weston Lyver finished third, Gabe Hawthorne placed fifth and both Johnny McBride and Jack Ervien returned to Buckley with seventh-place laurels. This year’s Hornet roster includes three other grapplers – Jared Rodarte, Max Wheeler and Cooper Franklin – who battled

The EHS program, under thirdyear coach Nathan Herbert, is looking to build on last year’s successes.

WR FROM 13 year advanced to the championship round, taking second place. This year’s Hornet squad is stacked in several weight classes, presenting healthy competition for varsity spots. Some of last year’s regulars are finding themselves in junior varsity competition during the early part of the season. Hornet grapplers have seen changing roles in the coaching staff. Former assistant Kitchen was elevated to the top spot and former head coach Joe Klein is now an assistant. Kitchen is a Tacoma native and graduate of Central Washington University. At Wilson High School, he placed four times at the state wrestling tournament, capping his prep career with a state champion-
field, eventually reaching the finals; in the showdown for the state title at 100 pounds, Cormier came up short but still returned home with second-place honors. Also back this year is senior Alexandra Puzon. She, too, competed at 100 pounds and had squared off against Cormier for the regional title. At state, she placed seventh. Natasha Puzon is a sophomore this year, coming off a season in which she qualified for state at 115 pounds. This year’s roster of six also includes senior Bryonna Harris, sophomore Kate Hayett and freshman Natalie Lessard.

After some time away, he served as an assistant coach at Tahoma High School from 2008 to 2016 before spending last season as an assistant at White River.

Also on this year’s roster are seniors Julia Zimmerman, Madeline Emerson and Esperanza Aparicio; juniors Rachel Poussier, Cheyenne Marll and Tailyn Nelson; sophomore Madison Boschee; and freshman Mercedes McVea, Marissa Gutierrez, Taylor Lynch and Claire Dicugno. The biggest loss from a year ago was Erin Redford, who capped a stellar career by winning a state championship for the Hornets. That followed third-place performances during her sophomore and junior seasons. Also gone is Jacey Lindner, who placed fourth at last year’s state tournament.
Under the direction of coach Jason Jackson, the White River girls begin South Puget Sound League 2A Dec. 14, hosting grapplers from both Foster and Foss high schools. Several tournaments are then in the mix until SPSL action resumes Jan. 10.

For the first time in the school’s storied sports history, a bowling team is competing under the White River banner. Bowling isn’t exactly commonplace throughout the region, but enough competition exists to prompt White River’s entry into the world of strikes, spares and, for the less fortunate, splits. Of the 16 teams making up the two divisions of the South Puget Sound League 2A, nine have introduced
girls bowling. “We thought it was a good time to jump into the league,” White River Athletic Director Chris Gibson said, adding that the district welcomes new opportunities for its student-athletes. In addition to high school bowling, two sports were added this year at the middle school level, Gibson said. Peggy Jacobsen is leading the Hornets’ inaugural effort on the lanes, guiding a roster of six girls.

Spartan gymnasts, wrestlers boast seasoned talent By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Gymnastics Boasting a roster rich in experience, coach Kathryn Shimer is expecting good things from her Sumner High gymnasts.
The squad, she said, “is looking to continue the success we had last year and…make another run at qualifying to the state competition as a team.” Shimer has a junior-heavy team that lost just two seniors to graduation last spring. There are just three seniors on this season’s roster of 19
with 11 juniors and five freshmen. Among the returning seniors is Emma Potts, who has qualified for the state meet the past three seasons. The accomplished junior class includes: Madison Blanco, who placed 12th in the vault at last year’s state meet; Lindsy Hatch,
a state meet veteran who is a consistent beam, vault and bars specialist; Jenna Eagle, another state meet participant and vault and floor specialist; and Morgan Devine, a consistent all-around competitor. Another junior, Bella Turchiano, is new to the team and is, according to her coach, “a
talented tumbler.” Among the freshman class, Shimer is looking for a big contribution by Taylor Holmes, who has shown her skills at the club level and will be an all-around participant for the Spartans.

Panther rosters are packed with plenty of experience By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer
Boys wrestling Familiar faces are back on the mat, looking to continue Bonney Lake’s near-decade tradition of
wrestling excellence. The Panthers have placed in the state’s Top 10 every year since 2009 and capped the run with a Class 3A team championship last season. Also included in that run are a pair of third-place trophies. Leading the way for Bonney Lake
is one of Washington’s top-rated wrestlers, senior Brandon Kaylor. A three-time state champion, winning last season at 113 pounds, he’s looking to join an elite club of fourtime tourney champs. But he’s not the only Panther grappler with impressive credentials.
This holiday season, so many of our neighbors are struggling through difficult times.... you can HELP and give HOPE. REMEMBER TO GIVE this holiday season to help the depressed, those fighting substance abuse and mental illness. Your gift today will tell someone in desperate need that they haven’t been forgotten. Your gift will help provide hope to those in need. At Valley Cities, we provide comprehensive behavioral health counseling for children, adults, and families that offers hope and recovery. Same-day appointments No out-of-pocket cost for Apple Health/Medicaid clients.
Senior Sam Peterson claimed a state title a season ago at 220 pounds, securing the team title in the process, and junior Brenden Chaowanapibool was the Mat Classic champion at 106 pounds last year. Also returning to the Panther program after advancing to the
state tourney last season is senior Evan Tracy.

BL FROM 15 Bonney Lake High swim and dive team had embarked upon the 2017-18 season. Coach Jay Paulson has welcomed back experienced performers like Nikolas Schwendeman, Billy Rohrbough and Jadan Livingston. Schwendeman, a junior, advanced to the state meet a year ago in both the 50-yard freestyle and 100yard breaststroke. According to Paulson, Schwendeman is “already starting out much faster in

Class 4A state meet. Leading the way are state veterans like junior CJ Richmond, a regional champ last year who battled his way to the state meet finale, where he claimed second-place honors. Also back are junior Austin Cleland, who finished fourth at state; senior Kalel Salcedo, fifth at state; and junior Marcus Peterson, an eighth-place state finisher. The early season saw the Spartans defeating Olympia High in dual-meet action. More recently, the SHS squad headed to Portland, Oregon, for the Rose City Championships.
the sprints this year. He’s poised to do extremely well.” Rohrbough and Livingston – both team captains – hit qualifying marks last season and advanced to the district meet. The coach also sees senior Cade John as a district-level diver and has high hopes for his only freshman, Jacob Schlosser. “He’s already off to a great start and hopefully we will see him earn his way to districts and hopefully beyond,”
WR FROM 14 gymnastics, but that doesn’t mean the Hornets are without a presence. Six gymnasts who attend White River are turning out with the neighboring squad at Enumclaw High. The quartet includes sisters Erin and Hannah McGinnes along with Chylye Schillen, Kassidy Rima, Annelyse Anderson and Savana Singleton.
Paulson said of Schlosser. Beyond those five, Paulson said, “we have a lot of new swimmers this year that came out as juniors. We’ll see how they learn and progress through the season.” The rest of the Panther roster includes senior Constantin Meister; juniors Tanner Bates, Zack Beaty, Ryan Childress, Juan Herreros-Gutierez, Gage Miller, Connor Shoemaker, Andrew Stevenson and Greg Warren; and sophomores Cayan Dibble, Jacob Griffiths and Max Lea.
Making the biggest impact is Erin McGinnes, who won the all-around title during the opening meet of the season. Competing against Auburn Mountainview, Kentridge and Kentwood, she was the top athlete in the field, placing first in the bars and beam while taking second in the vault and floor exercise. In a Dec. 5 meet at Kentlake High, she won the vault and was third in the all-around.

Superintendent’s Message School Board News Calendar of Events WRHS Festive Evening of Music Registration for Early Learning Did you know? Construction Update
Message from Janel Our White River voters have always come through for our kids and I am eternally grateful. As superintendent it is always hard to ask voters to take a leap of faith and support our leaders, staff and students with their hard-earned dollars, but we need your support again. The White River School District Board of Directors has approved two levy resolutions for the February election. The four-year Replacement of Educational Programs Levy is a renewal of the current levy at a rate of $1.50 per $1,000 of home value. This is a significant decrease from the 2013 levy rate. The funds the district receives from this levy make up about 10 percent of the district’s annual budget. These funds help to pay for costs associated with music, drama and art programs, student activities and athletics, school counselors, and it supplements the costs related to special education, transportation and food service. The levy also provides dollars for instructional materials, campus security and staff costs beyond state funding allocation. The board also approved a four-year Capital Projects Levy that will cost taxpayers no more than $1.10 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation. These levy dollars will pay for improvements to technology including equipment, infrastructure and training. The levy will include refreshing more than 270 staff laptops and 3,500-plus Chromebooks deployed throughout the district including 1,300 HPx360 Chromebooks for the WRHS 1:1 program. These levy dollars will also support critical projects such as replacement of the White River High School roof, improved parking at Elk Ridge Elementary School, replacement of the maintenance building at Glacier Middle School, and will add classrooms to meet K-3 class size reduction requirements.
School Board News
At their last regular meeting, the Board of Directors focused on a review of the district’s financial position at the end of the 16-17 school year. With enrollment continuing to increase and construction happening all over the district, the year ended with both revenues and expense higher than in 15-16. The majority of the district’s $40.5 million dollar general fund budget consists of staff salary and benefits at 85%. The additional 15% provides supplies and services to support staff and their building needs. District spending continues to be focused on recruiting and retaining qualified staff, providing very deliberate teacher training time, and implementing programs that meet the various needs of the White River students.
Washington Educational Research Association (WERA) Workshop Recently several staff members from White River shared their expertise at workshops as part of the annual state conference of the Washington Educational Research Association (WERA). Superintendent Keating Hambly, Meagan Rhoades and a team from Mountain Meadow Elementary highlighted how to make data accessible and meaningful at the classroom level. Teacher Janel Ross, along with two others from neighboring districts, presented Culture and Climate in the Classroom. Adam Uhler, Carlee Lilly, Dana Huff and Teresa Foster shared lessons on creating a joyful learning environment for early learners. Aaron Rumack shared examples of how a K-12 math coach can have greater impact with other teachers. Our White River teaching and learning staff were well received at each of these four sessions.
Believe it or not, by approving both measures your current tax rate will go down. Your support means a lot to us and we take our role as good stewards of that support seriously. Keeping the tax rate down while sustaining programs and maintaining facilities is done with gratitude for your commitment and encouragement for what we do and how we do it. Walking through the well-maintained halls of our schools, witnessing the success of our students and basking in the pride of our White River community aren’t visible on a ballot, but are the result of generations of continued support. On behalf of the White River School District, I thank you and wish you happy holidays and a good start to the new year.

REGISTRATION FOR EARLY LEARNING
Bond Information Update
White River Pride Runs Deep
White River offers a full array of classes for our youngest learners. Why? We believe “the sooner the better!” Early childhood education research has shown time and again that kids who have access to a quality preschool program are better prepared for success in school as they progress through their elementary years, graduation and beyond. We’ve seen incredible results from our early kindergarten and preschool programs over the past few years. White River recognizes this advantage, and has chosen to support this need in our own community. The programs are free to students who live within the White River School District boundaries. Registration packets for new students may be picked up at elementary schools beginning January 3, and they may be turned in beginning February 1st.
District Offices The grand old building which houses District’s Administration Offices and the Glacier Middle School Auditorium is getting a new roof! This project is made possible through the use of voter-approved bond revenue. It is expected to be complete by the end of December, weather permitting.
Full-Day Regular Kindergarten: Turning 5 before August 31, 2018 Early Kindergarten: Turning 5 between September 1 and December 31, 2018 – early kindergarten Birthdates September 1 – December 31, 2013
Historical Wilkeson Elementary project
For no-fee federally funded preschool: Age 4 and will turn 5 between Jan 1 and August 31, 2019 – Birthdates January 1 – August 31, 2014
Contractors have removed the playground at the Wilkeson Elementary campus. They have installed construction fencing and erosion control fencing. Portables at Wilkeson will soon be moved to Elk Ridge Elementary for temporary usage. Additionally, the gym has been demolished and the interior of the main building is being prepped for renovation.
Priority enrollment for preschool given to families experiencing homelessness, English as a second language, limited income, foster care. Sorry, we cannot accept waiver requests from students who live outside of White River School District for either the preschool or early kindergarten classes.
