By Ray StillReporter

When Ben O’Leary first thought about pursuing a career in law enforcement, he started out going on ride-alongs in his last year of high school for his senior project.

After graduating from the Washington State University with a degree in criminal justice and political science, O’Leary came back to his hometown to join the Bonney Lake Police Department as a reserve officer.

“I had an interest in

doing law enforcement full time, and I was looking to jump start my career by volunteering first and get-ting acquainted with the job itself,” O’Leary said. “I felt the best way to do that was to become a reserve officer.”

What is a reserve officer?

“It is hard for people to wrap their head around what a reserve officer is,” Sgt. Ryan Boyle said. “A reserve officer is someone who is very com-mitted to their community. They’re here putting their

lives on the line, putting their lives in front of others to be out here for our community.”

According to Boyle, there are only a few big dif-ferences between reserve officers and full-time police offi-cers.

One of them is compensa-tion, and as a reserve officer, O’Leary receives none.

“They’re here on their own to learn to become a police officer,” Boyle said. “Some come here to give back to their community, and they

aspire to do that. Others aspire to be a full-time police officer.”

The training is done a bit dif-ferently as well, although by the end, reserves get the same amount of

training in the reserve police academy as in the full-time police officer academy.

“They put us through everything that the full-time academy offers,” O’Leary said. “It’s less hours than the full-time academy, however the curriculum is exactly the same.”

Besides compensation and training, though, O’Leary feels that he has the same amount of responsibility, and is held to the same high standard, as a full-time offi-cer.

“The cool part about being a reserve for the city of Bonney Lake Police Department is as a reserve officer, you’re treated the same way a regular police officer is treated,” O’Leary said. “Some agencies use their reserves for transport only… Bonney Lake isn’t that way at all. We are treated

staff, the vendor support of the radio system will end in 2018, which is used by police and fire.

David Mendel, project

manager with King County Radio Communications, said after 2018 the vendor “level of support” for the radio system will end and the risk of catastrophic fail-ure of the system increases.

According to a county

release, the current system has been in place for about 20 years. It consists of 26 transmitter sites and multi-ple interconnecting micro-wave and fiber systems supporting more than 100 agencies and about 16,000 radio users, each with a portable radio handset and/or installed mobile radio in a vehicle. The system was designed to serve a smaller population over a smaller area when it went online. If approved, the new system would provide improved coverage within the exist-

ing service area. Von Reichbauer

expressed concerns that some fire districts’ bud-gets will be affected by the levy and were not included in the earlier discussions about replacing the system.

“The lack of communi-cation in the executive’s office (Dow Constantine) is disappointing,” von Reichbauer said.

Councilwoman Jane Hague said she would vote for the ordinance but noted she had difficulty getting information from the exec-utive’s office and was, “less than enthusiastic about the process leading up to the council discussion.”

Hague said she was also concerned about the short time available before the measure will go to the vot-ers.

McDermott said the levy is an effort to make sure a replacement is in place before 2018 when the risk increases for a system fail-ure.

A release from the coun-cil stated the levy lid lift rate would be .07 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. Based on the 2015 medi-an home value in King County, the cost to the median homeowner would be $26.46 per year.

The emergency radio system is used to dispatch police, fire, emergency medical personnel and allow responders to com-municate with each other at those incidents. The system is owned in equal shares by King County, the city of Seattle, Valley Communications Center and the East Side Public Safety Communications Agency.

Peace on earth may still be a ways away, but this year, Bonney Lake and Sumner middle school stu-dents explored what peace meant to them by com-peting in the Lions Club International Peace Poster contest.

“The goal was to find out what peace, love and under-standing meant to them,”

said April Young, the sec-retary at the Bonney Lake Lions Club. “We wanted to hear from the youth and make sure they know about the Lions Club.”

The Bonney Lake Lions Club teamed up with Mountain View and Lake Ridge middle schools for the contest, which 68 total students decided to enter.

The rules of the contest are simple; through any medium, students had to

artistically express their vision of peace. No letters or numbers can be used, and only two-dimensional posters would be accepted.

An award ceremony was held for the area winners, three from each school.

Katelyn Endicott and Gwenith Vangeystel placed first. Claire Frueheuf and Taykor Simpson came in second, and Madison Witt and Skylar Chambers came away with third.

Gwenith’s poster was also nominated to be sent onward to the district level competition, but was not sent to the next level.

She said she competed because she wanted to test her artistic abilities for the first time.

Her poster depicted sea-sonal change and nature themes.

“I put in the four seasons

What’s the process for becoming a reserve

officer?Before citizens can even

consider being a reserve offi-cer, they have to find a police department that will take them on, just like any regular part or full-time job.

After filling out the appli-cation to be a reserve officer, citizens must pass a physical fitness test, polygraph and background investigation, as well as interview with the police department and the chief of police.

Boyle said the process is a difficult one for the depart-ment, as they treat reserve officers just like full-time officers.

“It’s important to know where their commitment is and who they are here for,” Boyle said. “We have to trust them, and the community has to trust them, so we are really selective in who we pick for the reserve process.”

If the department takes a citizen on as a reserve officer, then they send them to the reserve academy.

It costs the Bonney Lake Police Department around $700 to send a reserve offi-cer to academy, but that is small change compared to the financial responsibil-ity of an up-and-coming reserve officer, because they are responsible for their own equipment, which includes the uniform, belt and other gear.

O’Leary said he spent close to $1,400 on his gear.

Getting though the reserve academy means

attending more than 320 hours of instruction, three to four days a week, as well as passing numerous physical and mental tests and chal-lenges.

“We are put through defensive tactics training. We are put through OC (mace) training. We get Taser train-ing with exposure to what it is like to be tased,” O’Leary described. “You’re expected to get through all of that in the reserve academy.”

Once academy is over, reserves are then expected to train for a further 500 hours with a Field Training Officer at the department, going out on calls and traffic stops with their new partner.

The absolute minimum is 20 hours of training with an officer a month, or two to three days a week.

Most reserve officers are also holding a different full-

time job while going through academy and training.

O’Leary currently works at Aviation Screening Enterprises in Sumner.

After finishing the 500 hours of training, reserve officers take a final test with their department to make sure they’re ready to go out on their own, “To make sure you’re able to take calls, deal with different problems that arise on your own, and han-dle yourself,” O’Leary said.

Bonney Lake reservesThe Bonney Lake Police

Department currently has three reserve officers, one in the academy and two others being trained in the field.

Boyle said the depart-ment accepts between 10 to 15 applications during the hiring process, but generally, only one application makes it

all the way through the hir-ing process.

Applications are due by June 1 of every year.

Even though there is no guarantee the Bonney Lake Police department will hire a reserve officer, Boyle said reserve officers that work with the department have a

high rate of getting hired in general, and around 85 per-cent of the BLPD started out as a reserve officer.

Do you know why blue ( D e m o c r a t i c ) states are clustered in the Northeast and along the West Coast on national election maps? Or why red (Republican) states are concentrated in the Great Plains and the South? Why do Pierce, King, Snohomish, and Spokane counties in Washington state almost always vote

Democratic while the rest of the state votes Republican?

There’s a reason for this based upon geography.

Geography affects the way we think more than we real-ize. Why are rural

areas most often conservative and Republican, while big cities with a population of more than 500,000 are predominantly Democratic? The

answers to some of these questions come from my own life experiences.

In the late 1970s my wife, kids and I moved to the rural part of my coun-ty and bought 10 acres. Why did we want so much property? We wanted to raise our children in nature with animals. We also wanted to be self-sufficient. Owning land meant we could grow our own food. It meant a higher sense of security. Only later did I come to realize that owning

I have been running around and staying up too late the last few weekends covering the state winter sports tournaments, primarily at the Tacoma Dome.

The true fun of this job for me is covering a wide array of sports. Once the state tournaments begin I get to run from one sport to the another, sending my crazy-person meter into the zippy zone.

I am most for-tunate to be able to shoot photographs for a number of Sound Publishing newspapers, which means I may be cov-ering Class 2A, 3A and 4A in one day.

A couple of weeks ago, I shot wrestling, gymnastics and district (I think… can’t remember) basketball on a Saturday.

The Mat Classic wrestling tournament lived up to its name once again. Enumclaw’s run for the top team spot was the talk in the press room.

Press boxes have changed through the years, but there is still the frantic, chaotic buzz inside those rooms that is addicting.

While the Mat Classic is rolling, state gymnastics is hap-pening at the same time in Dome’s the Exhibition Hall, which increases the chaotic spin while reporters and shooters run back and forth trying to time who is where and when.

Gymnastics is one of my favorites to shoot. It is challenging and, unfortunately, the lighting at the Dome is mediocre at best.

Every year I marvel at the athleticism of gymnasts. There are times it still stops me and I forget to press the shoot button.

The stretching exercises those girls do before competition would punch my ticket to the morgue. I couldn’t get on the beam without a ladder, much less walk on the thing.

I have asked the WIAA to give gymnasts and wrestlers sepa-rate weekends for the state tournament.

One group or the other gets shorted because many news-papers these days don’t have the staff to cover both properly and, in my experience, many publications short gymnastics. That’s a shame. Those girls deserve the spotlight. The work they put in to reach a competitive level, and still go to school, is daunting.

Last weekend I was covering 4A basketball for the south sound papers.

Unfortunately the White River girls were playing in Yakima. I needed a Dr. Strange cape so I could make the commute between Yakima and Tacoma. I’ll check eBay.

Those gymnastic, wrestling and basketball kids must be keeping me upright and running. After all the years there is still nothing like shooting a gymnast hitting the vault knowing it has to be perfect to get the gold, the physical intensity of wres-tlers in the final ticks of a title match and a last second jumper hitting nothing but net.

It is now Monday – I am at the office, I know my name and I am as normal as ever… although it will take a few extra pounds of product to keep my hairstyle in place.

The good news is spring sports have arrived.

Nothing beats the postseason pace

School board thought about taxpayers when deciding on bond issue

While many school districts ask for tax increases when attempting to pass bonds, our Enumclaw School Board members kept its constituents in mind when they were working on their bond proposal. They were ada-mant that the growing communities of Enumclaw and Black Diamond

could fulfill their needs by simply renewing the expiring bond, there-fore not increasing taxes over the current rate.

The 1998 voter-approved bond that built Thunder Mountain Middle School is currently assessed at $1.60/$1,000 home value. The new bond would replace the expiring bond and keep the same tax rate in place, not a penny more!

With the 60 percent supermajority requirement, it is often a difficult task for any school district to pass a bond but when comparing other districts to ours, this bond proposal

is a well-thought out, conservative decision by board members.

With this bond, the opportunity has arrived to restore Enumclaw High School and to rebuild Black Diamond Elementary at the same voter approved tax rate from 17 years ago. Approval of the bond would provide a new HVAC system so staff and students don’t have to open windows in January because class-rooms are too hot. It would build a new athletic facility that can safely accommodate the growing number

of participants. It would update science labs, provide a new library, music facil-ity and auditorium to enhance learn-ing and keep students competitive in society. In addition to the upgrades at EHS, the time has come to house Black Diamond elementary students and staff under one roof instead of the current arrangement where 40 percent of the school’s population resides in portables. Saying “yes” to this bond will modernize campus safety to create secure buildings for all students, staff and guests.

Just like the importance of main-taining any home or place of busi-ness to preserve its value, a community depends on the quality of its schools to grow its future, compete economically and continue to thrive. Passing this

bond, the first time, is a smart invest-ment. Our school board went to great lengths to be sure voters would not be asked to spend a penny more than the current rate. If someone were to tell you that you could have a new home or an upgrade to your place of business for the exact same investment that you are making now, would you jump at the opportunity?

The time is now to vote “yes” this April to give our students and com-munity the essential tools to prepare for the future. Resources for learning more about the bond – including the study survey, projected budget, construction designs, timelines and more – can be found at the Enumclaw School District website, www.enumclaw.wednet.com under a tab labeled “bond informa-tion.”

land also meant that if the government col-lapsed, someone would take the land from me by force. It was false security.

I think this illusion of self-sufficiency and security is why few conservatives live in big cities. There are also few minorities who are citizens who live in more rural areas. These areas are mostly white. Older whites, especially males, tend to vote predominantly Republican.

When one lives closer to nature, there are fewer changes except the ongoing changes in the seasons. Conservatives favor keep-ing conditions as they are. Any major changes can mean loss of status and wealth. Conservatives are often business owners and there are more taxes and government regula-tion in the urban areas as opposed to living in less populated areas.

Democrats often live in big cities for sev-eral reasons: minorities like to live among their own, just like whites who favor the suburbs and more rural areas. Cities con-stantly are changing. Change is valued more highly by progressives, because it means that improvement of opportunities is more likely.

Since most of the big U.S. population centers along the coast vote predominantly Democratic, people who live in those areas more frequently tend to come in contact with those from other countries and cul-tures and colors. This greater diversity tends to force people to be more open to allowing for differences in values and atti-tudes, making them more Democratic when voting.

Being in and around nature is more dif-ficult to see in cities. Buildings go down and are replaced by new structures. The skylines

are not mountains, but man-made construc-tions: buildings and bridges. People come to the cities to find work in the factories and businesses that locate there. Working for someone else encourages the rise of unions.

Because Republican President Abraham Lincoln was credited with freeing the slaves, blacks voted solidly Republican as a block until the Great Depression when Franklin Roosevelt’s administration pushed for laws to help minorities and the poor. Then they switched to voting Democratic.

After the Civil War ended in 1865, whites in southern states voted solidly Democratic until the mid-1960s. Then the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were passed. After that, southern whites have voted con-sistently Republican.

The poor in Red States vote conservative because of the issues of abortion and gay rights. These issues go against their more conservative religious views. This group also tends to live where there is less diversity in rural areas. Those who are pro-choice and for gay marriage tend to live in more urban-ized areas.

Most of western Washington votes Democratic because most of the counties mentioned above are the most urbanized. Educated professionals also tend to live in and around cities and they now vote pre-dominantly Democratic.

Geography affects one’s political and reli-gious outlook. Geography determines how much or how little change will occur. These differences affect how and why people vote the way they do. It makes the three west coast states vote predominantly Democratic and the Midwest and South vote consistently Republican. Awareness of these tendencies helps explain the differences between west-ern and eastern Washington. We seem to be much more affected by our geography than we are probably aware.

About the Bonney Lake Lions Club

The Bonney Lake Lions Club started in 2002, although it closed and then reopened in 2004.

Lions Club International is a service organization, and the local chapter is no

different. “Lions are known for

(helping with) vision, hearing and diabetes,” Young said.

According to chapter President Tom Watson, the local organization spends an average of $3,000 a year for glasses for people on the Plateau.

The Lions Club also works with the hearing impaired in getting hear-ing aids.

Since 2006, the Bonney Lake Lions Club has served more than 16,000 children at their Lions4Kids House,

where kids who receive reduced-fare or free lunch-es can go to receive clothes, personal care items, school supplies and other neces-sary resources.

“It’s taking care of com-munity needs that are not being serviced,” said chap-ter President Tom Watson. “We want to make a differ-ence in the community.”

Do you remember the public service ads that used to be broadcast saying, “Attend the church of your choice?”

You do have to be a cer-tain age. Those ads go back 50 years or more and reflect

a time when society in general considered church attendance and participation in the church an essential aspect of community life.

That’s not true today and I suspect the reasons for the ad campaign would argue that the change had already begun that long ago. Even though those who identify themselves today as “Christian” still total 77 percent of the U.S. population (Gallup poll, 2012), the Pew Foundation research suggests that only about one in five who iden-tify themselves as Christian actually participate regu-

larly in church (at least once per month).

Pastors ponder such statistics and wonder why church has so little impact on so many believers, much less impact on our com-munity. But whenever I look around our Plateau community and see how many ways the churches do work together to respond

to needs and to encour-age faith and good deeds I am encouraged by the evidence that believers do engage our community for good.

The past three months I have been taking a weekly shift in checking people into the Winter Shelter pro-gram that many churches have joined together to cre-ate and operate through the three coldest months of the year. Since my congrega-tion did not host guests at our facility this year, we helped with the registra-tion and check-in needs. And here’s some of what I learned this winter:

1 – we have a significant number of residents who

have no home. The causes for their life on the street are varied from unemploy-ment to physical limitations preventing work to other social and personal issues, but nearly all are from here on the Plateau, grew up here or have family here.

2 – the smaller number of guests who were not from here were usually only passing through and some of them we were able to help get home or in con-tact with family to get them home safely.

3 – People are not com-ing to town to use our shelter. I have heard sev-eral times the concern that because our community is generous we would end

up “importing” home-less people, but the reality is that our complete lack of any other program or facility to provide for daily support for the homeless makes it unlikely that there is any such appeal. We did, in fact, receive an inquiry from a neighboring com-munity asking if we would include their population in our program, but we had to say no and suggest that we would help them organize their own program.

4 – I was reminded again that just making sure peo-ple did not freeze to death in the winter does not solve the problems that create the

Janet Ann Uhde passed away on March 3, 2015. She was born on June 19, 1952 in Renton, WA to Elmer and Virginia Lucke. Janet was married to her husband Donald Uhde for 38 years. She is survived by her son, Kaleb Uhde; daughter in-law, Shannon; grandson, Connor and granddaughter, Clara. For almost 20 years, Janet worked at the appointment desk of the Enumclaw Medical Center. She was the fi rst person you would see when entering the doors. If you called to make an appointment, you probably spoke with her. She loved to converse with all patients, but her favorites were the babies.

She loved babies. She would always ask to hold, kiss and snuggle them. Although you could probably hear her talking from down the street, she was a very gentle soul with babies. When my son Connor was born, she offered to work part time and stay home with him. She loved her grandson very much. Alzheimer’s took her mind and she never really knew her newest granddaughter Clara, but her face always lit with a big smile when they were together.

My parents’ hobbies included building birdhouses and Christmas ornaments. My dad, the woodworker, did the building and my mom loved to paint them. She was an extraor-dinary painter. People always told them to turn it into a business, but for them, it wasn’t about the money. I cherish every ornament and birdhouse that they gave me over the years. I look forward to passing them down to my kids.

So to my mom, I had the best childhood that a kid could have. You were warm, loving, kind and did everything you could to see that I was happy. Sure, we had our disagreements over the years, but you were still the best mom a kid could ask for. Know that we will never forget you. You’re in a better place, reunited with your mom and dad, your husband (my dad) and you’re grandmother and grandfather. We will see each other again someday. -We Love You!

By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

Another year, another tournament, another tro-phy.

Just as they did a season ago, the White River High girls headed to the Class 2A state basketball tourna-ment as just one of eight teams still alive. And, just like last year, the Hornets dropped their opener to Mark Morris before bounc-ing back with two victo-ries, bringing another fourth-place trophy home to Buckley.

The 2A state tourney was staged Thursday through Saturday at the SunDome in Yakima.

Adding two more victo-

ries solidifies White River’s status among the consis-tently elite teams in the state. To go with last sea-son’s fourth-place finish, the Hornets placed third in 2012. Under coach Chris Gibson, the program has made a Sweet 16 appear-ance in 15 of the past 17 seasons.

Victory over Lynden

Saturday’s battle for fourth and sixth place didn’t start well for the Hornets, who quickly found themselves trailing Lynden High 18-6, then 21-9. Things picked up in the game’s middle stages, however, as the teams went

into intermission tied at 28; by the end of the third period, White River man-aged a 42-40 lead. The final eight minutes made all the difference, as the Hornets limited the Lynx to just five points while pulling away.

“The kids did a great job,” Gibson said of the comeback. “We just kept trudging along.”

The outcome eventually was decided by a 6-0 White River run midway through the final quarter. With her team ahead just 45-43, senior Kristin Sturdivan nailed a 3-pointer to spark the final rally.

Statistically, the teams were nearly even in most categories, with a couple of glaring exceptions. White River was guilty of just seven turnovers, while Lynden tossed the ball away 14 times.

Additionally, the Lynx had no points from their bench while White River was sparked by a career-high 17 points from Maci Goethals. Along the way, the junior connected on

five of seven shots from 3-point range.

“She got us back in it,” Gibson said. “Her scoring was huge.”

Kendall Bird headed the Hornet offense, scoring 22 points.

Lynden’s defensive strat-egy was to shut down Amanda Lance, one of the Hornets’ all-time leading scorers. The plan worked to some degree, as Lance scored just two points while being blanketed by Lynden’s best defender, but she dished out six assists.

White River: 9-19-14-11 – 53Lynden: 18-10-12-5 – 45White River: Kendall Bird 22,

Maci Goethals 17, Kristin Sturdivan 9, Darian Gore 3, Amanda Lance 2.

Victory over River Ridge

An old sports adage stip-ulates that it’s tough to beat a team three straight times – and that axiom held true Friday when White River squared off against River Ridge at the 2A tourney.

Both are members of the South Puget Sound League 2A, so the squads met twice during the regular season. White River won handily the first time out and bat-tled through a much closer

game to get a second win.Friday, the Hornets

scored just nine points in the second half and watched a double-digit lead slip away before pulling out a 39-38 victory. The team went nearly eight minutes before scoring their first points of the second half.

“They did a nice job defensively and we just went very cold,” Gibson said.

The White River defense largely keyed the win, turn-ing 16 River Ridge turn-overs into a dozen Hornet points.

Kendall Bird came up with a big double-double, scoring 13 points while pulling down 10 rebounds.

White River: 12-18-5-4 – 39River Ridge: 7-13-7-11 – 38White River: Kendall Bird 13,

Kristin Sturdivan 12, Amanda Lance 4, Maci Goethals 3, Georgia Lavinder 3, Darian Gore 2, Kayla Howard 2.

Loss to Mark Morris

When they state tour-nament schedule-makers put their collective heads together, they did White River High no favors.

Spring is right around the corner, which means the snap of balls hitting leather and the crack of the bats will echo across Osborne Field once again.

Enumclaw baseball coach Eric Fiedler is drilling the boys on hitting, throwing and running as the opening day of the 3A South Puget Sound League season nears.

The team opens with a nonleague game at 7 p.m. Friday against Federal Way.

Federal Way coach Danny Graham was Fiedler’s assistant when he guided the Eagles to the state baseball title in 2001 and second in state in 2002 and 2003.

Fiedler took the Hornets to third in state in 2010 and fifth in 2011.

The 2015 Hornets team could easily find itself in the state tournament playing for the top step.

Returning to the field for Enumclaw is four-year varsity player Tyler St. John, an all-league second baseman. Fiedler said St. John may play shortstop and he is also one of the Hornets’ top pitchers.

Cooper Wicks, also a four-year varsity player, will play third and pitch.

Fiedler said Wicks can, “play anywhere in the infield.”

Another senior in the lineup for Enumclaw is Meyers Hammond playing at first and throwing from the mound.

Junior Blake Hildebrand will play center field and will be hitting in a power spot.

Casey Harberts, a junior, will handle the catching chores.“He does a great job behind the dish and provides punch in

the lineup,” Fiedler said.Last year, the team missed the state tournament by a few

swings of the bat, losing to North Thurston.Fiedler expects the Hornets to be a very good running team

with more depth this time around.“I really like the way we practice,” Fiedler said. “They are

very athletic. We’ll put together a consistent attack.”

Hornets feature depth, speed and pitching By Dennis Box

The Enumclaw High boys are working out on the pitch pre-paring for the opening of the 3A South Puget Sound League soccer season.

After winning a couple and battling to a tie in a couple of games, the Hornets will be looking to move up the win ladder.

The Hornets have been rebuilding for the last couple of seasons under coach Shawn Tobius with help from coaches Adam Ihde and Steve Henry.

The Hornets open the season at 7 p.m. Monday on the road against White River.

Last year the boys played White River to a scoreless tie.

Enumclaw opens up against a league oppo-nent at 7 p.m. March 23 at home against Auburn Mountanview. The Hornets lost both games to the Lions last season.

The Hornets play their home games at the Enumclaw Expo Center.

Coming off back-to-back state tournament appear-ances, the White River High baseball team faces an uncertain spring. The Hornets were hit by gradua-tion, losing players that con-tributed to recent success, but return and handful of proven diamond veterans.

Those returnees helped spark the 2014 squad that went 12-2 in league play and then won two of three dis-trict contests, again advanc-ing to the state’s Sweet 16. For the season, White River finished 19-6 overall.

Among the players to watch for this spring are

senior outfielder Dustin France and junior catcher Riley Johnson, a pair of all-league, first-team selections a season ago. Returning senior outfielder Mitchell Webster was a second-team pick last year and senior Trent Buchanan earned all-league honorable mention. Another key piece to the Hornet puzzle is senior Sean Klapperich, who splits time between pitching and play-ing third base.

Senior Colton Swanson looks to be holding down the chores at first base, but long-time coach Mike Williams has a couple of holes to fill. Up for grabs during pre-season workouts are the sec-

ond base and right field jobs.The pitching chores

will primarily be handled by seniors Klapperich, Buchanan, France, and Mason Harris.

The Hornets are under the guidance of longtime coach Mike Williams, a White River alum who has posted a record of 253-200 during his 19 seasons at the helm. He shared SPSL 2A Coach of the Year honors in 2014 and, following the 2013 season, was honored as the state’s Class 2A Coach of the Year.

“We have been enjoying the nice weather and get-ting lots of work done out-side,” Williams reported.

“Our expectations are high as always in regards to win-ning some games, but we are realistic too. We lost some really quality kids. With that being said, if this group can improve and grow as a team, we have a chance to be pretty good come May.”

Williams has built a tough nonleague schedule, so he expects some bumps along he road. But that approach is designed to test the Hornets and bring out the best in the players.

“Win or lose, our mission has always been to compete the best we can, improve, and represent WRHS in a positive manner at all times,” Williams said.

WR baseball aiming for continued success

By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

With a handful of high-ly-regarded veteran play-

ers dotting the roster, the White River High boys soc-cer team is looking for good things this spring.

Last year’s crew put up

middle-of-the-road num-bers, finishing 6-9-1 over-all and 6-8 in South Puget Sound League 2A play.

Among those leading the

way for this year’s crew are seniors Josh Clough, Sam Hatley and Tyler Krebsbach, along with junior midfield-er Hayden Grimm. Clough

and Grimm were honorable mention picks a season ago when SPSL 2A coaches sat down to choose their all-league teams.

Also back for another season on the sidelines is veteran Hornet coach Russ DeFord. Also back is assis-tant Sam Gates.

White River’s early-sea-son tests will come from a pair of nonleague neigh-bors. White River hosts Enumclaw March 16 and travels to Bonney Lake March 18; both games begin at 7 p.m. Both those foes are from the larger SPSL 3A ranks.

The Panthers baseball team finished the 2013-2014 season one win shy of bringing home the state 3A title.

Bonney Lake advanced into the post season and fell short, losing 12-0 to O’Dea in the champion-ship game.

“We finished last year with the best run in our program’s history, losing in the state title game,” coach Mike Olson said. “It was a near-perfect fin-ish for the class of seniors and such a cool experi-ence for our entire pro-gram, giving our under-classmen a taste of what

we hope will be a regular experience in the future.”

Olson has been coach-ing for 18 years and is entering his 10th sea-son as head coach of the Panthers.

The season hasn’t start-ed yet but Olson said dur-ing the first week, the Panthers saw a “great turnout” and held cap-tain-led workouts.

The first pitch of the new season is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday against Decatur at home.

When looking ahead to what the season has in store for the Panthers, Olson said “we expect

our team to compete day in and day out.”

He added, “the post-season is always the goal. (And) we feel it is a very realistic one this year.”

The Panthers and its rival, Sumner Spartans, are in the same South Puget Sound League 3A division this season.

When it comes to pre-paring for rival games, which are the final two games of the season this year scheduled for May 4 and May 5, Olson said the players don’t change their approach but the coaches do.

Panthers look to make state games a ‘regular experience’

SEE BONNEY LAKE, PAGE 15

Previews Written By Sarah Wehmann

As the weather grows warmer and days longer, the Spartans prepare to return to the diamond for the upcoming baseball season.

Sumner finished last season with a near-perfect 23-2 record.

The Spartans brought home both the South Puget Sound League 2A champion-ship title as well as winning the West Central District championship.

It was the first time in school history that the Spartans’ won the West Central District.

The season ended in the quarterfinals of the state tournament with a 1-0 loss to Anacortes.

The post season this year looks to be a familiar place for the Spartans, coach Casey Adcox said “we expect to be successful.”

He added, the Spartans have respect for its

opponents and for the challenge of playing in the 3A division this season but “we have many capable young men who have high level baseball experience.”

Adcox is in his 15th year of coaching since his playing days at Central Washington University ended and he enters his eighth season with the Spartans.

He coached Sumner from 2003-2005 and returned in 2010.

A difference spectators will see on the field is the absence of six graduated players from last year.

Adcox said all six players went on to play baseball at the collegiate level.

The new soccer season starts Wednesday, March 18 with a nonleague match up between the Panthers and the

White River Hornets.Last season, the Panthers

were defending state cham-pions and finished the sea-son winning the South Puget Sound League 3A.

Bonney Lake advanced to the postseason where it lost in the first round of the

state tournament, 2-1 to Ingraham.

The relatively upperclass-men team from last year will have a much different look this season.

Bonney Lake graduated 10 seniors and lost three other players due to transferring

schools or playing academy soccer, coach Luke Helling-Christy said.

The team is only retun-ing two players with previous varsity experience, he said.

He said the way the team sets goals will be the main thing impacted.

With a young team, the approach this year will be

different, Helling-Christy said.

“Last year, I was in a refinement season and this year, I will be using every minute of the season to edu-cate and elevate my team’s level of play.”

Helling-Christy is in his 12th year coaching and is entering his 10th season with

the Panthers.This season, the Panthers

play in the same division as its rivals, Sumner Spartans.

And when it comes to pre-paring to play the Spartans, Helling-Christy said the Panthers will approach it dif-ferently.

He said, for the players, “the Sumner game (is) always something they are geared up for and we always have a great battle.”

But for the coaches, Olson said the approach is different this season because the two are now in the same division.

“We always want to put our guys in positions that are best for our team and when it is a nonleague game sometimes you set up for maintenance and experi-ence as much as success that day.”

The Panthers graduated a total of eight players from last year’s team.

“It is a major adjustment for our entire program,” Olson said.

He said there may be more unanswered question entering the season but talent wise, it won’t be an issue.

“It will be a matter of putting the pieces together as the year goes on to find out what our best fit will be,” he said.

Go Hornets!

Despite the impact the loss of those six will cause Sumner, Adcox said seven players are returning who received all-league honors last season.

Those returning for Sumner are seniors Johnny Staley, Gage Whitehead, Chase Torgison and juniors Collin Wolf, Noah Massey, Josiah Fidecaro and Nathan Harrell.

For the Spartans, Adcox said the position that holds the most notable question mark is on the mound.

Sumner graduated star pitchers, Christian Parsons and Logan Christensen.

Adcox said filling one of the pitching holes will be Staley.

Staley has two prior seasons of varsity pitching and “has always been a great pitcher for us,” Adcox said.

A prospect to fill the sec-ond pitching hole is senior Joey Muscarnera.

“(He) has shown great growth in the off season,” he said.

The 2014-2015 season starts Friday with a home game scheduled for 4 p.m. against Fife.

In preparation for the first

game of the season, Adcox said the Spartans have been for-tunate with this weather and have been able to get some game reps under its belt.

“I feel we are a bit ahead of schedule,” he said.

And when it comes to fac-ing Fife and one of the area’s top pitchers, Tanner Knapp, Adcox said “we are looking forward to that challenge to help prepare us for coming league games.”

This year, the Spartans join its rival, Bonney Lake Panthers, in the SPSL 3A division.

The rival games are sched-uled for the final two games of the season, May 4 and May 5.

The approach in preparing to face the Panthers is different for Sumner this year, Adcox said.

“The fact that they are league games now and (will) dictate postseason seeding, change the way you approach them,” he said. “It’s obviously always been a game important to the players for obvious reasons but adding postseason jockeying elements gives it even more.”

A new development this season for the Spartans is hap-pening with the junior varsity team.

Chris Snelling, a former Mariner and six year major

league veteran with a World Series ring, will be the new head coach.

Snelling is entering his fifth year with the Spartans, Adcox said.

He works in the Sumner School District maintenance department.

“He is an all-around awe-some guy,” Adcox said. “(And he is a) phenomenal resource for the kids.”

“Before it was just a friend-ly, now they are worth points,” he said. “The intensity is much higher.”

Helling-Christy thinks the Panthers will finish the season among the middle of the SPSL 3A pack and will advance to the post season.

When looking ahead to the first game of the season, he said the Panthers look to keep the game close and manage the energy of the players.

“We are looking to col-lect data on what we are doing well and what we need to do better moving forward.”

Sumner Boys SoccerThe Spartans finished

the 2013-2014 third in the

SPSL 2A with its season ending in the round of 16.

“Last season was a suc-cess especially with the youth of the team,” coach Peter Voiles said.

Voiles has been coaching the Spartans’ for 15 years and has coached other schools and programs.

The roster will show nine seniors graduated after last season.

Voiles said the biggest adjustment for Sumner will be the midfield.

He said, two seniors graduated from that posi-tion and adjustments will have to be made.

The transition from 2A to 3A Voiles said “will be a new step for the players that are returning.”

He added if returning players can meld together with new players, “I believe the postseason is a very realistic expectation.”

When it comes to the

new season, Voiles said he never uses the same approach.

He said it’s true when it comes to league games against rival, Bonney Lake Panthers.

Voiles said he prepares for the Panthers the same way he gets ready for games against the Auburn schools or Enumclaw.

The first game of the season is 7 p.m. Friday, March 20 at home against Toppenish.

“My favorite part of the first game is seeing how the new players will work together and helping them identify their weaknesses as a group and how we adjust from there,” Voiles said.

state 2A tourney, the Hornet girls were paired against Longview’s Mark Morris High, the consensus No. 1-ranked team in the state.

That ranking appeared justified Thursday afternoon as the Monarchs blast-ed the No. 4-ranked Hornets 78-51.

The Mark Morris girls did much of their damage from the outside, eventually scor-ing more than half their points on 3-point bombs. For the game, the Monarchs put up a whopping 30 shots from beyond the arc, burying 15.

For the three-day tournament, Mark Morris established a Class 2A record by

sinking 39 3-pointers.That outside effectiveness was crucial in

the game’s opening stages. The Monarchs launched a dozen 3-pointers during the first quarter, connecting on six, contribut-ing to a 23-16 lead after the first period of play.

By halftime, White River trailed 41-28.The third quarter was really the Hornets’

undoing, as Mark Morris put together a 26-12 run that put the game on ice.

White River’s offense was paced by Lance and Bird, who scored 10 points each.

He was born Oct. 9, 1932, in Redlands, Calif., the son of Herman and Martha (Dangerman) Kooiman. He married Goldean Vogelaar on June 6, 1951, and moved to Bellf lower, Calif., where he milked cows and then drove a grain truck until 1978, when he moved his family to Enumclaw to start a family dairy farm. After farm-ing in Enumclaw for 12 years, they moved to Lynden, Wash., to continue farming. In 1990, his wife died. On July 3, 1993, he married Grace VanderVeen (Slendebroek). He retired from farm-

ing in 1997 and, about 10 years ago, they moved to Belgrade, Mont., where he enjoyed helping with the potato harvest on his son-in-law’s farm. He was a charter member of the United Reformed Church of Lynden and a member of Belgrade United Reformed Church; he was active in his church his entire life.

He is survived by his wife Grace; sons Curt, Bob, Brian (Lisa) and Kevin (Hannah); daughter Sandra Kuipers (Dan); sister Marian; brothers Elmer (Trudi) and Adrian (Marilyn); step-children Margie (Jerry) VandeBurgt, John (Mary) VanderVeen, Susan (Nick) Schutter and Tom (Erin) VanderVeen; 17 grandchildren; three great-grandchil-dren; and 20 step-grandchildren.

need, but it does show our genuine concern for the lives of others.

I suspect the shelter has helped prevent some emergency room cases and perhaps (I hope) helped the police departments in enforcing the codes addressing sleeping in the parks and sidewalks, but my biggest lesson was the reminder that Jesus praised the people who saw “a stranger, and took him in.” And now these people are not strangers to me, but neighbors. They have names and faces. There are things in their lives I can-not fix for them and they may not be ready yet to face those things. But I don’t want to preach any funerals for people who had no place to sleep in the bitter cold.

Thank you Plateau Outreach Ministries, thank you churches of the Plateau who took part (at least 11 different churches), thank you for showing grace and love in the name of Jesus. That’s what church is all about; it’s one reason why I think church matters. As the apostle Paul wrote, “So then, while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people!”

• Noon March 18 at Windmill Gardens in Sumner. “Garden Inspiration for Spring” is a tea time class with a fee of $5; register at www.windmillgarden.com or phone 253-863-5843.

The second week of March means it is time to plant. Pea seeds can go directly into the ground along with cool-season crops like lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, beets, radishes and spinach. Don’t even think of planting warm-loving tomatoes, squash or eggplants yet and it is still too early to start tomato seeds indoors – they’ll grow leggy before the weather warms up enough to set them outdoors.

You can add instant color to the land-scape by planting flowering shrubs like azaleas, rhodies, viburnums and daphne. Pink, lavender and white heathers and the heavenly and hugely popular hellebores

are also available at area nurseries now for fill-ing empty pots, adding to window boxes or just flinging them about the garden wherever you need a shot of color.

Here are the most-asked questions from beginning vegetable gardeners – read them and reap.

Q. I just bought some vegetable seeds. The directions say to plant the let-

tuce seeds in early- to mid-spring. Can you give me an actual planting date?

A. How about today? In Western Washington, early spring is usu-

ally March 1 until mid-April. Seeds are not that particular on the date, it is the warmth and moisture in the soil that counts. Raised beds drain sooner so they can be planted in early March.

Q. I want to grow vegetables on my balcony. It gets lots of afternoon

sun. I did well with tomatoes last summer. What else should I try?

A. Grow yourself a summer dinner by adding basil, spaghetti squash,

cucumbers, oregano and more tomatoes. Look for compact or bush varieties that won’t take up much room and be sure all your containers have good drainage and that you are using a lightweight potting soil. In a small garden, grow what you are most likely to eat. In hot spots with little room, grow Mediterranean herbs that can handle the heat reflected off of the build-ing.

Q. I want to remove some of my front grass and grow food – but

I certainly don’t want the neighbors to complain. What are the most attractive vegetables?

A. According to garden legend Ed Hume, the best way to create an

attractive vegetable garden is to combine fine, medium and bold leaf textures. Use the fine texture of carrots, onions and several herbs in the front with beets, let-tuce and spinach behind them and backed up with the bold foliage of cabbage, kale, rhubarb and the tall drama of artichoke

plants to give a vertical element. Now keep your edibles weeded, mix in some flowers (this helps bring in pollinators) and share your bounty with the neighbors. You’ll be cheered, not jeered, for shrinking that lawn.

Q. I want to plant some vegetables but my soil is full of rocks and light

in color. Should I add manure? Fertilizer? Topsoil? Please help.

Cool-season crops OK to plant, wait for othersThe Compleat Home GardenerMarianne BinettiColumnist

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.

The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.

This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.

Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.

Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.

The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.

And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.

To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your � ve favorite stories to: [email protected]. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Spring appears to be arriving one to two weeks earlier than nor-mal. While nurseries have been stocking up on plants to tempt spring shoppers, there are certain cautions to observe when pur-chasing trees and shrubs.

The following tips will help homeowners make good planting decisions and avoid a few common mistakes frequently observed dur-ing homeowner consultations.

Right Tree for the Right Place

First, size up the planting space available for a new tree. Is it a small bed next to a structure? Is it an area where a tree will have unlimited space to grow? Or is it somewhere in between?

Next, do you prefer a tree with attractive blossoms, fall color, bright fruit or no fruit? Are you looking for a short, wide tree or a narrow and tall one?

Look at pictures online or browse through a garden center to find selections that catch your eye. Match their preferred grow-ing environments to your plant-ing area, considering shade, partial shade or full sun.

Find out how large a tree will grow. Small trees look very inno-cent in their containers, so it is important to read the labels carefully or seek the advice of a knowledgeable nursery employee. The sizes listed are ranges only, not guarantees that trees will stop growing once they reach the advertised heights.

The bottom line is to select a tree that is right for the grow-ing environment and the allotted space is adequate when it reaches its mature size.

Use caution when considering these species:

1 – Prunus blieriana, a com-monly planted, purple leaf, flowering plum, has an unruly

growth habit and is susceptible to numerous leaf diseases and insects. Prunus cerasifera is a bet-ter choice for a flowering plum.

All flowering plum species can suffer damage during severe ice and snow storms. Humans are also a pest when they aggressively prune or top these species; that actually stimulates the production of fast-growing sprouts.

2 – Corkscrew willows can become very unsightly because of a common leaf blight that causes leaves and twigs to die. They are also susceptible to ice and snow breakage.

3 – Many spruce varieties are susceptible to various insects and spider mites. These pests can dis-color foliage, kill the tops or cause severe needle loss. Dwarf Alberta and Colorado blue spruce trees are particularly vulnerable.

4 – Alpine, sub-alpine and Fraser fir species should be avoid-ed because the balsam woolly adelgid will eventually find and deform and or kill these trees. Infested trees have small twigs that are distorted into a bird’s claw appearance.

If you already have any of these trees in your landscape, please do not run out and remove them. Just be aware of the problems noted above.

Some of the pests can be con-trolled with insect or disease sprays. However, if trees experience repeated attacks or have become real eyesores from storm damage, it may be time to replace them.

Three specific mistakes to avoid

• Do not plant Leyland cypress trees to be managed as a trimmed hedge. They should be spaced 10 feet or more apart to reduce crowd-ing and so they can grow as large as possible and never require top-ping and yet provide screening. If topped, they will become mainte-nance nightmares because of their fast growth habit and formation of multiple tops.

• Be careful when planting cer-tain flowering cherry cultivars as street trees or in landscapes. They often develop large surface roots and can damage sidewalks, patios and driveways within just a few years.

• Avoid planting Lombardy poplars unless you have a large lot and can plant them far away from

The Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce proudly endorses the Enumclaw School District's Bond Measure.

The bond will:Erect a two-story, secure and enclosed structure on the south side of the Enumclaw

High School campus that would replace aging classrooms, the library, science labs, music facility, auditorium and gymnasium. This replacement structure would dovetail into the remodeled commons, of� ces, and art and automotive wing (2000) creating a more secure facility for students, guests and staff.

Build a new, two-story Black Diamond Elementary School at the current location, replacing the aging structure and bringing students and staff together under one roof for a safe and uniform learning environment.

structures. These trees become very tall and are susceptible to breakage during severe storms.

Homeowners should imagine what a tree will look like in 20 to 30 years so someone will not be forced to cut down one that has outgrown its space. There are numerous attractive small trees on the market and more are being devel-oped every year.

Good luck with your spring planting.

A. Start small your first year and

invest in some bags of com-post. Visit a local nurs-ery for advice on which bagged compost is best for your soil type. A raised bed of at least six inches of compost surrounded by bricks, rocks or even logs will help contain the compost that you layer on top of your sad soil and then mix in with a hoe or shovel. Sign up for classes, subscribe to blogs, read books and slowly grow yourself some knowledge on the art of edible gar-dening. Your local Master Gardeners are full of free advice and also have dem-onstration gardens for you to visit. My vote is to start with leafy greens that you grow from seed. Spinach, lettuce and kale can be planted now. In June plant beans and squash.
