At the June 3 Sumner City Council meeting, council members voted 4-2 in favor of a new rule change. The ability for any two council members to add an item to a council meeting agenda, without first taking that item to a committee meeting or council study session, has been stricken. The change was first introduced by council members Cindi Hochstatter and Mike LeMaster. At voting, it was opposed by council members Randi Hynek and Nancy Dumas. Councilman Brown was not present for the vote. Several weeks ago, Anne McFarland, an efficiency expert brought in to examine council meetings, noticed items were routinely placed before council for

Sumner senior founds club for Latino students By Daniel Nash
Grad Spotlight
Karen Fierro is one of eight Sumner High School graduates recognized at the 2013 Senior Showcase, an annual ceremony honoring the outgoing students who most personified school ideals during their high school career. A full diploma International Baccalaureate, avid painter and speaker of three languages, Fierro also founded Orgullo Hispano,
a club celebrating Latino culture that became the most popular on campus. She is described by faculty as “soft-spoken,” yet “ambitious” and “driven” — Fierro chose “patience” as the most important quality of a Spartan. She earned a scholarship to Whitworth University, where she plans to take classes in international studies and political science.
Staff Writer
When Karen Fierro set out to found a club connecting students to Latino culture, she may not have realized it would strike a chord. But in the nearly two years since it’s founding, Orgullo Hispano became the largest club at Sumner High School. Then again, Fierro knew Hispanic students were one of the fastest growing populations in her school. And though young Latinos don’t always come to English as a second language, she knew from experience the feeling of separation

Mock trial puts seventh graders in the courtroom Staff Writer
It’s June 4 and court is in session at the Bonney Lake Justice Center. A soccer player stands accused of second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. What’s known is that Taylor Garrison seriously injured Alex Chavez while performing a slide tackle during a game. What’s not known, and has become the crux of the trial, is whether the injury was purposeful. Were his cleats up or down? Prosecutors who reviewed the game footage said the shoe bottoms were up, but the footage was lost. Did
“Referee” Kelly Quoc testifies to the events of the assault at the mock trial. Photo by Daniel Nash Garrison have aggressive feelings toward Chavez? His journal would suggest so, but Garrison claims it was altered without his knowledge. The competition between the prosecution and defense is tense, and each side quietly celebrates when it wins a small battle.
From the judge’s bench, where the honorable Judge Ron Heslop presided over the case, you could see it on their faces. Garrison’s coach slips up in testimony, and the metallic glint of braces show through a halfdozen grins on the right. An objection by the defense is sustained, and the same happens on the left. This trial is, quite literally, a mockery: or rather, a mock trial. The prosecutors, defense team, defendant and witnesses are all Lakeridge Middle School seventh graders, students in Darin Mott’s highly capable language arts and social studies class. The June 4 “trial” was the culmination of the class’s unit on the justice system, taught with the assistance of Heslop and City Prosecutor Maili Barber. Stoic on the bench, Heslop immediately lightened as the jury of adult volunteers left the courtroom for deliberations. “Let me move on more than we would at trial,” he said. “It involves an understanding of examining and cross examining as it relates to Mr. Garrison. Mr. Garrison is a great liar.” The room erupts into laughter and applause. “And that shakes up attorneys,” Heslop continued. He gestured toward the student who had crossexamined Garrison: “You did very well. You kept after him. You were a bulldog.
But the thing is, you’re not going to shake him; he’s a liar. So at that point the only thing you can do is show the jury he’s a liar.” “Can we try him for perjury now?” a member of the prosecution asked. “You can try, but it won’t work,” Garrison said. “You all did really well,” Heslop said. “You can walk into our court and watch a trial. And you can see attorneys with seven, eight years of education and five years of trial experience get caught like this and stand and stutter … but you did really well.” Next, he turned to an attorney on the side of the defense, and told her a number of her objections that had been overruled likely would have been sustained in a real trial, except he had wanted to see where the prosecutor was taking her line of questioning. “Your objections were awesome,” Barber confirmed. “And the little things you guys did... I couldn’t believe you were listening while I was talking in class. The way you (the prosecutors) submitted (Garrison’s journal for) evidence, I’ve argued cases in court where attorneys didn’t submit evidence that well.” While everyone waited for deliberations to finish, Heslop and Barber answered students’ various questions about the court.

this little room where we learned English for a couple hours a day. And that was something different, but eventually I incorporated it into what was normal.” Fierro transitioned out of the English Language Learners program in second grade, fluent in both Spanish and English. By her junior year of high school, she was learning Japanese, a choice inspired by her early teenage love of manga and anime. She enrolled in the International Baccalaureate program, an advanced and comprehensive high school curriculum that translates into college credit. The requirements of an IB degree extend beyond academics into community service hours and a senior thesis. At a June 3 dinner and award ceremony for senior IB students and their families, a common joke was that a baccalaureate’s mental breakdown was always just around the corner. Fierro was no exception. “I’ve had a few mental breakdowns,” she said, smiling. “To the point that I’ve had people tell me a few times that I should do less.” The requirement for community service hours provided the impetus to create Orgullo Hispano. But Fierro’s
desire to create the club was a bilingual Latino leadership camp called La Cima, which she attended the summer before her junior year. “This whole thing started with an idea that I had when I went to Latino leadership camp,” she said. “Which really inspired me to start this kind of collaboration between the Latino community and Sumner. “They taught us the importance of learning our identity, and putting that focus into the Latino community.” In the course of forming Orgullo Hispano -- which required Fierro to sell the administration and student body on the club’s mission and curriculum -- she learned more about working with others and networking with like-minded Hispanic organizations that didn’t have deep contacts with the community in Sumner. At the peak of its membership, Fierro said the club had up to 30 students in its ranks. At that time, the club hosted a holiday party for students at Daffodil Valley Elementary, complete with traditional Mexican crafts. Fierro lobbied for membership from Sumner High School’s English Language Learning courses, taught by Diana Herrera and Kay Jones. “There’s a large Hispanic community there, and they’re the ones that don’t usually
Karen Fierro — second from left — stands with her brother, mother and father in front of a painting she created for IB Art. Photo by Daniel Nash get the attention that they should deserve,” Fierro said. “I worked with them and I saw they were interested in volunteering and making a difference in the community. It’s been great.” Jones, who also teaches Japanese, said Fierro’s academic career at Sumner High was a remarkable legacy. “Karen is very remarkable for a high school student because she’s already bilingual by virtue of her studies,” said Jones, who also teaches Japanese. “She had to start out learning English as a second language. By the time she got to us at high school she had already transitioned out of the ELL program. “So I think what really stood out for me is that Karen came from a background that her family was working on learning English. She transi-
tioned out of that other program, but then she took on this other academic challenge (in the IB program). And the contribution in my eyes ... is that she has shown the way for a lot of (ELL) students. That they can reach anything, because she has has certainly made that stretch. When I met Karen as a freshman, she told me that was one of
her goals: to be a Latina IB student. “The thing is that a lot of ELL students are challenged with financial situations and all kinds of other things they have to face. I think Karen has been such a wonderful trailblazer in showing that anything is possible if you work hard and set those goals for yourself.” Fierro’s goals for college are to delve into international studies and political science; beyond college, she would like to become a teacher. “The phrase that I’ve heard a lot is ‘bring the face of the people, to the people,’” she said. “Especially in some urban high schools, we don’t see people of color teaching classes. I want to inspire that and inspire other people to become teachers. Even if it’s just for a couple years of your life, that’s something you should do.” Fierro credited her personal
ambitions to her parents. “My drive comes from my parents for sure,” she said. “They’ve done so many things to help me succeed. I know when we were younger, my dad would always say ‘This is your chance to educate yourself and be someone greater than I am.’ My dad worked in the fields when he first came here. He’s a painter now and he’s learning English, which is wonderful. But he always stressed that education is the key to a good job and a brighter future. Those words have always motivated my passion for education. “My mom, she was always with me during long nights. I spent two or three weeks where I didn’t go to sleep until 4 a.m., and my mom was always there with a cup of coffee or just to stay up with me and make sure I was okay.” Fierro will attend Whitworth University in the fall, under an Act Six scholarship.

Sounders U23 brings local club teams onto the field By Daniel Nash Staff Writer
Chris Brundage signs a U13 Explosion player’s jersey after Sounders U23 played the North Sound SeaWolves at Sunset Chev Stadium June 5. Photo courtesy of Scott Nall.
Sounders U-23 – the Seattle Sounders Football Club development team – defeated the North Sound SeaWolves 1-0 Wednesday night, after a series of close shaves and an especially tense second half. A thrilling victory to be sure but, for one group of girls, the excitement was on the sidelines of Sunset Chev Stadium. The Sumner Soccer Club’s under-13 girls team, Explosion, were the honorary ball girls for the game. “With our home at Sunset Stadium in Sumner, we love getting the local teams out,” Sounders FC spokesman Darren Sawatzky said. “The more involved the better. “Having the opportunity to see the next level of soccer for young players gives them something to strive for. Having a group of future professional players honing their skills in your community is a huge opportunity for these young players.” The football club tries to facilitate opportunities such as pre-game clinics for young players, Sawatzky said. Additionally, the U23 players stay after games to sign autographs for any of the young helpers who want them. Sawatzky added that Sounders FC is interested in more youth involvement, and any clubs and teams who would like to participate can call 206-445-2097. “The more involved the better,” he said. Explosion U13 is sponsored by SEFNCO of Sumner. Comment online at blscourierherald.com. Reach Daniel Nash at dnash@courierherald.com or 360-825-2555 ext. 5060.
Pool team thunders through championship, rolls to Vegas By Theresa De Lay Staff Writer
Rolling Thunder, a nine-ball pool team based in Sumner, recently won the Pierce County Championship tournament and was invited to compete at the American Poolplayers Association (APA) Nationals tournament. Rolling Thunder is a team of six guys ranging in age from 23 to 61-years old. Team captain Jim Thipps is joined by Jim Cowart, Jake Thipps, Joey McCloskey, Mark Madsen and co-captain John Mangan. Their scorekeeper of five years, Marsha Mangan, is an honorary
member but she doesn’t play the game herself. “I am part of the team, I just have no interest in actually playing. They have tried for three years to talk me into it. I love watching them play and keeping score but I’m not real competitive. In school I kept score for the wrestling team,” she said. Mangan said she isn’t a pool shark, but she’s still considered more than a scorekeeper. She’s the co-captain’s wife and she described herself as a true mother hen. She won’t be allowed to keep score at nationals because the rules in Las Vegas won’t allow it, she said. But at this year’s championship, the team insisted APA present
her with a trophy of her own. Nationals will take place Aug. 15 to 19 at the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas. To earn the necessary travel funds, Rolling Thunder’s home bar — Bottomz Up Bar and Grill at 1005 Main Street in Sumner — will host a Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament June 30. Interested parties should register at the bar by 1 p.m. but as of press time, the team hadn’t decided on a buyin amount. Rolling Thunder will also have a booth at Rhubarb Days selling 50/50 raffle tickets. Half of the proceeds will assist their trip to Las Vegas and the other half will go into a raffle
reserve for one lucky winner. For more information, contact Jim Thipps at 253-961-5555 or Marsha Mangan at 253732-8270.

POLICE BLOTTER All suspects in the police blotter are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
SHOPLIFTING: At 2:07 p.m. May 29, a Walmart loss prevention officer called police to advise she had detained a suspect for shoplifting; a police officer contacted the employee and suspect in the store security office. The employee advised she had seen the suspect select several items throughout the store, place them in reusable bags, and place the bags in a leopard-print bag. She then exited the store without paying. The suspect told the police officer she had not taken her medication, and did not realize she had stolen. The suspect was issued a criminal citation for theft in the third degree, and released at the scene. WALLET THEFT: At 10:27 a.m. May 30, a citizen reported the theft of his wallet out of his car while it was parked in the Fred Meyer lot the day prior. While waiting in the car during a shopping trip, the complainant went inside to tell his wife to buy an additional item, forgetting to lock the door. He returned five minutes later and found his wallet missing, with cash and cards inside. The complainant canceled his card the next morning and was advised of several charges made in
Wednesday, June 12, 2013 • The BONNEY LAKE Courier-Herald • Page 5 the past day. Police provided him a case number and advised him to contact the department if he found further charges. HARASSMENT: At 9:42 p.m. May 31, an officer took a report of harassment from a woman. The complainant said a man she had met online a few days prior had begun harassing her via text messages. She had met the suspect through a dating website and they agreed to a date. The date went well, but when the complainant checked her phone after work the next day, she found a series of strange and threatening text messages. They all came from different numbers – possibly the result of a phone number encrypting method called spoofing – but she believed them all to come from the man she had met because they referenced the date. The text messages suggested he was upset she had answered her phone earlier in the day, and one threatened to smash her windows and slash her tires. The complainant provided a known phone number for the man. The officer called it and upon identifying himself, the owner hung up. The officer texted that the man should call right away, and the man responded with refusals. The officer advised the complainant to locate the man‚last name, additionally report the incident to Buckley police, and report it to the dating website. The officer advised her that if enough information
were gathered on the man and he continued to harass her, she could obtain an anti-harassment order. BURGLARY: At 8:30 a.m. June 1, a complainant called police to report a burglary from his Bonney Lake rental property. The officer met with the man at the West Tapps Highway home. The man said sometime between May 23 and June 1, someone entered the house and took items from the garage. He could not find a point of forced entry. He was provided a theft inventory form for later follow-up. MALICIOUS MISCHIEF: At 7:49 p.m. June 1, an officer responded to 233rd Avenue East in reference to damage to a car. The complainant had parked in the lot at 4 p.m. and, when she returned more than two hours later, her tires had been slashed. Several items were missing from the center console. The doors were unlocked and the windows were down. The complainant said she did not know of anyone who might be angry with her. The officer obtained photos of the vehicle for evidence and provided the complainant a case number. DEER: At 9:53 a.m. June 2, an officer was dispatched to an injured deer in the westbound lanes of the 17700 block of state Route 410. The deer had two broken legs and was gravely injured. Traffic was stopped on See blotter, Page 15
council FROM 1 a vote without adequate discussion beforehand. Consequently, meetings ran long and were thus inefficient. The rule change is intended to provide council members more time to study information laid forward, without being forced to vote prematurely. It also provides time for individual citizens to speak out before voting commences. “The intent and the goal of this amendment for council rules is to improve the accuracy of the information so that we can have more confidence in our vote and more efficiency in our meetings,” said Hochstatter. The amendment also applies to the mayor and city administrator; they will no longer be able to add items to the council agenda that aren’t vetted through a study session or committee meeting first — a fact that Dumas disagreed with. Hynek cited a concern in regards to limiting information. He said the new restriction will result in many issues never making their way to council meet-
ings because they will be shot down at the committee or study session level. According to opponents of the rule, committee meetings and council study sessions are less accessible to the general public than regular council meetings. Because of this, a lot of concerns may be swept under the carpet and never brought to the attention of average citizens, said Hynek. “This will limit information so that they (the council members) don’t have to worry about feeling bad voting no on something, because it won’t get here (to council meetings),” he said. While it’s true that committee meetings are not recorded, they are open to the public. Similarly, study session audio files are available but there is often a day or more delay. To view the entire council meeting, please visit Pierce County TV via the city of Sumner’s website. Comment online at blscourierherald.com or reach Theresa De Lay at tdelay@ courierherald.com

Is chivalry really dead and gone? I happened to be dining at the Governor’s Mansion a few weeks ago … Please forgive the pomposity contained in that opening statement. It’s entirely true, but not nearly as significant as one might think. Each year, journalists from points near and far in the Evergreen State gather in Olympia for a day of legislative updates and pitches from elected officials. The night concludes with a dinner hosted by Christine or Jay or whatever politico we votKevin Hanson ers have pushed Senior Writer to the top of the heap. It’s an interesting day chalk full of hot air, interspersed with nuggets of relevance. But it was one isolated incident – a three-second act in a 12-hour day – that has me ruminating on the current state of gender-based affairs. Dinner was about to start and Washington’s First Lady, Trudi Inslee, was being seated at a nearby table. Already planted in their chairs were a mix of ladies and gentlemen (giving more credit than is due, perhaps, to my journalistic cohorts). As Mrs. Inslee took her seat, one guest quickly stood while the rest remained in their chairs, clutching salad forks and glasses of instate wine.

Find help, from food banks to summer fun Summer is coming. You may hear such things as there’s nothing to do. I am bored. I am hungry. I don’t have gas to get me to work and I don’t get paid until next week. I can’t pay my utilities. I am a senior citizen who needs assistance. My husband drinks too much. It is time to go back to school and my kids have no clothes or school supplies. Can you help me? The Bonney Lake and Prairie Ridge Food Banks were discussed in a previous column. There is still a push to try to get the summer feeding program funded in the greater Bonney Lake area. Stay tuned for more information on that. There are a couple of plans in the works. The White River School District announced their Simplified Summer Food Program for Children. Meals will be made available at no charge to attending children 18 and younger at the Buckley Youth Activities Center, 251 River Ave. in Buckley from June 17 through Aug. 30 (except July 4-5). Lunch will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m., with a snack served from 3 to 3:30 p.m. For more information, including eligibility guidelines, contact Jenney Smith at 360-829-6534. There was also an extensive listing
Carter’s Community Laurie Carter Columnist
of free or nearly free things to do all summer long recently in this newspaper. Many of these activities have begun since Neil Johnson became mayor. The goal is to have free events to keep kids engaged and learning during the summer; something for the family to do together at no cost. Bonney Lake is family oriented. I smile when I see kudos for SwimSafe (discussed in an earlier column), the picture of the first-ever Bonney Lake High School boys soccer state champions, recognition of high school students for their athletic and academic achievements and announcement of the winners of the annual Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Water Conservation Calendar art contest that will create a calendar.

Did you know the city of Bonney Lake is shared by two different school districts? The eastern portion is in the White River School District and Sumner School District serves the remainder of the city. Did you realize that the Prairie Ridge community is shared by three different school districts, White River, Sumner and Orting school districts? The neighboring cities, community groups and the school districts have formed community coalitions to work through common issues and reach goals for all ages in our community. This explains why you will see in the council minutes or hear council members Tom Watson or Donn Lewis report they have attended a meeting at White River School District. Councilman Lewis most recently reported he attended White River’s Families First Coalition and heard a report about the Buckley Youth Activity Center and statistics on teen alcohol and tobacco use. Councilman Lewis is a teacher in the Sumner School District, so he has day-to-day input from the youth of our city and a relationship with both school districts

that serve the Bonney Lake community is a plus. I have mentioned the Community Summit in an earlier column. It is a Sumner School District Communities for Families (CFF) event. CFF is a group of concerned people actively working together to improve the health and well-being of children, families and our communities. Their goals are (1) Identifying community assets and top needs of local residents, (2) Creating links among community resources, services and activities, and (3) Support existing family-related projects. Marilee Hill-Anderson is the go to person for CFF. And there is one other very busy woman in this community that is active in all three coalitions. Her name is Monica Gaub. She is the coordinator of the Prairie Ridge Community Coalition, facilitator of the White River First Coalition and if you attend CFF you will see her
there, networking. Monica has sent out some very helpful information just recently. One is the Northeast Pierce Resource Guide. You will find it on the City of Bonney Lake webpage at: http://www.citybonneylake. org/section_community/ and look under “Community Groups.” There is a lot of useful information on the Community Resources and Services page. You can find resources, a place to volunteer time and that community events calendar. Senior Center information is there, too. Monica recently shared that free community dinners are now offered every Wednesday at 6 p.m. at the Prairie Ridge rec hall. If you live in Prairie Ridge, have dinner, meet your neighbors, and then enjoy a family-friendly activity following each dinner. In Prairie Ridge there will also be a youth activities program beginning Monday, June 24. The fun program will be held Monday-Friday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. A different supervised activity will be held each day at the Rec Hall Park. If you have ques-
tions about these Prairie Ridge activities, contact Monica at 253-334-5895 or e-mail her at: gaublins@msn.com. If you have changes for the Northeast Pierce Resource Guide or want to be added, contact her about that, too. The guide is updated and distributed quarterly. It is a volunteer project and is not affiliated with any specific organization. And don’t forget all the great programs at the Bonney Lake Library! Check out the Kids and Teens page for story times, free museum passes and downloadable music, contests and more at: http://www. piercecountylibrary.org/kids-teens/ Default.htm. So, finding help is at your fingertips, or your nearest park or library. You can find fun things for your kids to do, information on food banks, clothing banks, an Al-Anon meeting, vouchers for utilities assistance or gasoline purchases. Back to school help, a place to go for a meal and friendship or free movies and concerts. Possibilities abound. Please make the most of your summer.
Corner FROM 6 Which prompts a question that has been asked for several decades now. Is chivalry dead? Is it on cultural life support, waiting to be resuscitated? Or is it perhaps only wounded, hiding in the weeds and waiting to emerge? The bigger question is, am I one of the few remaining fuddy-duddies who thought such an occasion deserved the utmost in manners? At least my view of mansion etiquette was shared by my unknown friend from Spokane. It’s no coincidence we’re both showing a bit of gray around the temples. While giving thought to the perceived social faux pas, I hit the Internet to see what the great thinkers of our day have to say on the subject. I must admit to being surprised. Much of the online content followed a common thread —

Many patients have benefitted greatly from singletooth dental implants, which more closely approximate the root structure and crown of a natural tooth than any other toothreplacement method. As effective as this technique is for restoring the look and function of a missing tooth, it can also be utilized to stabilize dentures. Traditional implants can take 6 months to a year to heal before a crown or denture can be attached to it. With our advanced technology, we are able to provide you with the implant and crown in a single visit and stabilize your denture in a single visit as well. Less time, less invasive, and less cost! You can rely on us to answer all your questions about dental treatments and procedures. At LAKERIDGE DENTISTRY, PLLC, we appreciate the opportunity to provide you and your family with quality dental care. Our team is made up of well-trained professionals who work together to provide the highest quality treatment in a warm, caring setting. We’re located at 8412 Myers Road E., Ste. 301. Bonney Lake. Please call 253.863.7005 to schedule an appointment. Ask us about how you can have straight teeth in just 3-6 months! Visit us on facebook.com/Lakeridgedentistry
that women initiated a cultural revolution to gain equal rights, so now they can open their own car doors. In another camp are those who belittle traditional manners as nothing but continued male smugness. They argue it’s condescending if a man defers to a woman at any time, in any place, for any reason. Spending far too many minutes considering the social, political and seemingly sexual consequences of a simple, random act has done nothing but cause even more confusion. Am I a relic of days-gone-by courtesy or a well-intentioned chauvinist? All I know is this. If you’re the First Lady of our great state and are about to be seated at my table, I’m going to stand; if you are trailing me as we head to the grocery store, I’ll step aside and hold the door for you.

Last month I talked about the greatest force driving our market, which is invenShawn Inmon tory – or, more Columnist specifically, the lack of inventory. As long as there are more buyers than sellers, there will always be an upward pressure on prices and that’s definitely what we’ve seen on the Plateau during the first five months of 2013. There is something offsetting that pressure, though, and that is the appraisal process. Unless a buyer is paying cash, the lender is going to require an appraisal of the property to make sure it is worth the amount the bank is lending. That’s always been true, but during the accelerated growth years of 2004 through 2007, those appraisers were operating under a different set of rules than they are today. During those years, banks were looking for any reason to loan money and the appraisal process reflected that. It was almost always possible to price a home at a value higher than an appraiser could “prove” through the use of comparable properties. When the sub-prime mortgage market crashed and brought down giants like Washington Mutual, the ripple effects extended into almost every area of lending, including appraisals. Today, it is much more difficult to get a property to appraise when it is priced higher than easily provable values, even if there is a well-qualified buyer prepared to pay that price. I have seen more issues with low appraisals in the last six months than I have in the previous 10 years combined. When an appraisal comes in low, there are a limited number of options available: sellers can lower their price to match the appraisal, the buyer can make up the difference between the appraised value and the offered price in cash, or the parties can walk away. Are these appraisal issues a good thing or a bad thing? That depends on how you look at it. If you are currently a seller and are trying to maximize the amount you receive for your home, it’s probably a bad thing. On the other hand, those old appraisal practices were a part of what led to the “irrational exuberance” (to quote Alan Greenspan) and rapid escalation of home prices in the mid-2000s. Using more stringent appraisal standards will go a long way to ensure that banks are not making the large numbers of bad loans that led directly to the economic issues associated with the collapse of the real estate market. Next time around, I’ll take a look at what your options are if you are currently “under water” in your home and what the short sale process looks like in 2013.

Time to tackle pruning chores
First targets
Remove dead and diseased branches. They are easy to spot this time of the year. However, removal is not always practical from a heavily-diseased tree without virtually denuding it.
Second targets
Remove branches that are crowding, pointing inward within a tree’s canopy or that look out of place. This includes low growing “face slappers” that terrorize lawn maintenance workers and homeowners. Targeted branches should be cut back to the point where they join the main trunk or are attached to a larger branch. Do not leave stubs because they may die back or they may grow new sprouts. Cuts that are made at the point of attachment will eventually be covered with bark. Trees like flowering plums damaged in the 2012 ice storm have sprouted prolifically. Homeowners can choose to ignore the masses of new branches or begin to thin them out to help a tree regain an eye pleasing appearance. This may require treatments for a few years.
Gentle tipping
If a branch is too long, make a cut just beyond a twig or bud that is pointing in the direction you wish the future
growth to occur. This will enable one to conThe trol the direction of Evergreen the new growth. This technique will help Arborist a tree retain a natural look rather than develop a stubbedDennis Tompkins off appearance or Columnist branches growing at strange angles. Cutting larger branches: To avoid stripping bark or splitting branches that are more than 1-inch thick, make the first cut six or more inches out from the intended final cut. This will lighten the branch and allow for a clean cut when removing the remaining stub without tearing the bark.
Finessing Japanese Maples and Pines
Summer is a good time to remove dead wood and to thin the crowns to display the attractive twisting interior branches of Japanese maples. These branches form the “character” of a tree and are vividly displayed during the fall and winter after the leaves have fallen. When pruning the low-growing lace leaf varieties, it is sometimes easier to crawl underneath and prune from the inside out. First, snap off or cut the dead twigs. Then remove crossing interior branches that are growing against the natural flow of the foliage. Finally, continue to thin out smaller twigs that are crowding. This technique will display a tree’s exotic-looking features. Mid-June is a good time to shape lowgrowing conifers like mugho pines. The new “candles” are nearly fully extended, so they can be clipped by hand to maintain a natural look or by a hedge trimmer to create a more sculpted look.
trees, hire someone else. Lawn service personnel are generally excellent at maintaining lawns and flower beds. However, many lack experience or proper supervision when pruning shrubs and trees. There are several experienced arborists and other professionals to consider for your pruning needs. Ask for references. Taking the above precautions will reduce the chances of having to painfully write a check after discovering that your favorite tree has been reduced to stubs. Dennis Tompkins is a certified arborist, certified hazard tree risk assessor, Master Gardener and urban forester from the Bonney Lake-Sumner area.

Thank you to all who responded! Jesse Rodriguez of Bonney Lake What new businesses would you like to see in your city?
“I would love to see a bakery come to Bonney Lake. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a place where one could buy quality, healthy bread and baked goods?”
Dennis Boren of Bonney Lake What do you think our school district is doing well/poorly?
“I don’t know how to fix the problem of cars backed up for blocks behind a school bus stopping at every corner to drop off kids during the afternoon rush, but something needs to be done.”
Hiring Tree Pruners
I strongly recommend that homeowners be present during the work. Be certain to have a clear understanding of what you expect to be done. If the pruner fires up a hedge trimmer or chain saw with an eye on your favorite rhododendrons or small
Roger Vartabedian of Bonney Lake What do you think our school district is doing well/poorly?
“Buses. I can only imagine the expenses the schools go to in order to maintain buses, pay drivers and for fuel. Let the kids walk or have the parents retain the responsibility to get their kids to school. I have seen a bus leave a school and drop off a child less than 1/2 a mile from the school. Another thing I hear about on the radio in ads is the teachers complaining about overcrowding in the classrooms. I am a product of public education of the past and teachers taught classes with 30-35 students each. Our teachers are getting lazy, also, and part of it is because of the teacher’s union and tenure.”

At last, summer is here! So it is time to grab the pruners, gloves and first aid kits and begin to plan summer pruning chores. Generally, landscape trees do not require pruning unless they are crowding other vegetation or buildings or light thinning would improve their appearance. Aggressive tree topping should be avoided because it usually stimulates new growth and disfigures a tree. Remember that the most eye-pleasing results are those that look as if little pruning has been done. The following tips will help the doit-yourself homeowners to create natural looking trees and shrubs without affecting their long term health and safety.

Teacher Evaluation Superintendent WRHS Retirees Awards Instruction Update Dates to Remember
NEW TEACHER AND PRINCIPAL EVALUATION HELPS ENSURE MORE LEARNING During the 2012-2013 school year, school districts throughout Washington have been working to implement a new teacher and principal evaluation system. This new model centers on ensuring growth in student learning and also increases the accountability for that growth for teachers and principals. In the White River School District, a group of forty-five teachers spanning all grade levels along with all building administrators are engaged in the pilot. Our work this year has helped us to do an even better job of refining our instructional practices to help our students reach higher levels of learning.
Comments from a few of our staff reflect the effectiveness of the new system:
“I am proud of the growth I have seen and confident that with some adjustments and alterations, the evaluation system will allow all educators to grow and reflect to be stronger, more equipped individuals”. (Mandy Boyle)
“The new system makes it explicit on what an effective teacher will be doing in the classroom and provides a rubric to help guide your teaching process”. (Heidi Lee)
MESSAGE FROM JANEL
Superintendent of White River School District As a White River community, we have much to celebrate as we wrap up this school year. We stayed focused on our mission to ensure high levels of learning for all students for success beyond high school. Equally important, we worked to stay true to our core values - collaborative teaming, improving core instruction in every classroom and providing additional time, support and enrichment for our White River students. Most importantly, we need to celebrate your commitment to continuing our journey to get better each and every year in each and every classroom. Improving student learning is a journey, not a destination. This continuous improvement journey takes commitment, passion, persistence, a great attitude, and a genuine love of children. This is what we’re trying to accomplish in this district. I don’t want to miss the opportunity to say a special thank you to staff for working every day to meet the diverse needs of the students in your classroom, in our gyms, and auditoriums. It’s the sharing of your gifts that make the difference for our White River kids and families. Marzano and Dufour in their book Leaders of Learning share this thought; “Don’t ask if you will make a difference. You will. The question is what kind of difference will you make?” In this publication, you will see recognition of our staff who have been leading the work of improving learning. These are true difference-makers! This has been a particularly fulfilling year for me personally in that this is the end of my first year in the role of superintendent. I’ve certainly had lots to learn, so thank you for your patience, encouragement, and support. But, most of all thank you for believing in the values this district holds dear and allowing me to lead our efforts to promote, protect and defend each and every value for which we stand. It’s an honor and one I do not take lightly. Superintendent of White River School District Janel Keating 809517
“I received formative feedback that was meaningful and I am a better teacher because of it. I can easily see where I have grown and I have goals in place for next year”. (Randi Evans)
CAREER & TECHNICAL EDUCATION White River High School has another successful year for our Career and Technical Student Organizations! This year over 100 White River High School students competed in state competitions for DECA, FFA, and TSA. Several students qualified for national competitions as well. We couldn’t be more proud of our Business and Marketing students who received the DECA Gold Medal Certification for the student store, the Hornet’s Nest. Less than 2% of school-based enterprises nationally earn this honor. Our automotive program is on course to become the 12th such program in Washington State to become NATEF certified. This will allow students to earn a certification for maintenance and light repair and enable them to earn ASE certification when they enter the workforce. We are primed to expand our extremely successful STEM and robotics programs. Increased opportunities for robotics students are in the works for next year at both Glacier Middle School and White River High School. Moreover, pre-engineering and fabrication courses will be offered at the high school, and GMS will launch a “Green Solutions” program this fall. Students in the White River High School Sign and Design program get a healthy dose of meaningful and relevant learning opportunities as they work with stakeholders to design and produce industry quality signage.
SCIENCE The Physics class at WRHS spend much of the 1st semester studying mechanics of motion. Throughout 2nd semester, students work on an ongoing project to build trebuchets, giant machines designed to hurl water balloons at Physics Teacher Jason Simonson who stands 50 meters away. The trebuchet is a great way to study energy transfer, projectile motion, and forces.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) CLASSES Our AP programs continue to expand at White River High School. We now offer ten different AP courses including AP Human Geography, Calculus, Chemistry, English Language, English Literature, Environmental Science, Government and Politics, Psychology, Statistics, and United States History. This year over 200 students took AP courses, and increased the number of exams taken by almost 30 percent. Students who score well on these exams can earn college credit. 809513
CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTION UPDATE Springboard is a new comprehensive curriculum for instruction of language arts in our middle and high schools in White River. The program was developed by the College Board, which is the not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. It is directly aligned to the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which will be fully implemented across the country in 2014-2015. The goal of Springboard is to prepare all students for college and career readiness. Teacher Mary Robbins says “Springboard is a high interest program, providing students with a variety of ways to interact with literature. I love that we will continue building student skills from year to year with a more deliberate, rigorous plan.” All White River middle and high school Language Arts teachers recently completed an intensive, interactive and engaging three day training experience. Teachers worked with the Springboard expert trainer in small, collaborative groups to develop units of instruction and assessments. Staff also learned about the online Springboard resources

WRHS Leadership class has taken on the challenge of weekly character dares. The Leadership class uses Twitter, Facebook and school announcements to offer a “Character Dare” for students to help build their “character muscles.” These can be as simple as “Hold open a door” or “Give five genuine compliments per day.” It is not uncommon for students to hold open doors each class period for other students and staff at WRHS.
that are embedded in the program. According to middle school teacher Andrea Gregg, “The training was amazing and I felt l was able to understand the concept of Springboard a lot better. I felt that the activities we did at the training are activities I would integrate into my classroom.” The district is truly excited about implementing Springboard as it clearly places our students on the pathway towards meeting the more demanding Common Core standards.

Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS) is a program that provides advanced learning opportunities in the fields of science and technology to high school students. There were 160 applicants accepted into the WAS 2013 summer residency at the Museum of Flight, including Bonney Lake resident Chris Young. The application process began in September, when the program was recommended to Young by his previous science teacher. Young was accepted into the initial phase of the program, which involved a five month online course designed by NASA and the University of Washington. It wasn’t easy, said Young, but based on academic merit observed during the course, he was invited to participate in the summer residency.

“I was pretty nervous at first — I wasn’t sure what it would be like,” he said. “The online class ended up being pretty difficult but I completed it and I’m really happy I got in.” Besides bragging rights, Young’s participation earned him five credits at the University of Washington in Space and Travel, ESS 102. During the summer program, WAS scholars will be guided by a variety of professionals including scientists, engineers, teachers and college students. The residency will focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) but the students are also provided learning opportunities in mission management, budgeting, space exploration legal details and medicine. Young will participate in several hands-on challenges including the design and construction of rovers, rockets, landers and a mission to Mars. Another aspect of the program involves touring the Boeing Commercial Airplane assembly plant in Everett, Aerojet’s Redmond facility and the University of Washington engineering labs. Participants will also receive educational seminars from field experts such as retired NASA astronaut, Dr. Bonnie J. Dunbar. The students will receive free room and board, courtesy of the Washington Aerospace Scholars Foundation. Other supporters include: individual donors, The Apex Foundation, The Aldarra Foundation, The Boeing Company, Microsoft, Battelle, Washington Space Grant Consortium, NASA Johnson Space Center for curriculum development, Washington State Legislators and the Washington State Governor’s Office. The Museum of Flight hosts the program and provides administrative support as well. Young has lived in Bonney Lake most of his life and attends Charles Wright Academy. His top-choice college is MIT but the University of Washington is a close second. He enjoys archery and behind-the-scenes theater production, but those are just hobbies he said. Young hopes he will find himself working at NASA in the future. Reach Theresa De Lay at tdelay@courierherald.com or 360-825-2555 ext. 5060.

proached, she ducked under the trailer and hid behind a wheel. The officer identified himself and asked the woman to step out with her hands in the air, which she did just as a second officer arrived. She stated she was on her way to use a nearby gas station bathroom. She provided two false identities before she provided her real name. Her name revealed a felony
warrant out of Pierce County Superior Court and misdemeanor warrants out of the Federal Way and Bonney Lake police departments. The woman was arrested and transported to Pierce County Jail, where she was booked on her felony warrant and cited for furnishing false statements to a police officer. WARRANT: At 12:05 a.m. June 5, an officer on routine patrol spot-
ted a man passed out near the snack shack in Allan Yorke Park. The officer roused him to check his welfare and advise him the park closes after dark. A computer check of the man identity showed a warrant out of the Pierce County Sheriff Office for his arrest. He was arrested without incident and transferred to another officer for transport into sheriff custody.
trial FROM 2 Heslop explained how the judge’s computer allows him to look up individual criminal and traffic records, as well as Washington state laws. He also shared personal anecdotes from his time as a defense attorney, to illustrate how detailed court cases become. For example, he said, one of his clients was found not guilty because the prosecutor had done everything but argue the crime had taken place in the city of
Edmonds. Soon, the jury returned and gave the verdict: Garrison was found not guilty of second-degree assault and guilty of reckless endangerment. Even though, in the fiction of the students’ mock trial world, Garrison may well have committed the crime, justice came down to what the prosecution could prove; just like in the real justice system. And, unlike any other trial, everyone – defendant, witnesses, prosecution and defendant alike – ended the proceedings laughing and talking on the bus ride back to the real world.

Head to the garden and pinch, prune, fertilize During the second week of June, your roses have bloomed and are looking for more food for their second wave of flowers. Fertilize roses, perennials and annuals this week. Anything growing in a container, from lettuce to petunias, needs fertilizer this month as the days are longer and the plants are working overtime producing new growth. This also is a good week to pinch back any leggy petunias and prune back sedum Autumn Joy plants to one-half their size. By pruning succulents like sedum now, you will encourage branching and more upright plants that will not need staking. Shear back rock garden plants like creeping phlox, basketof-gold and candytuft that have finished blooming. If foxgloves or delphiniums have bloomed, cut back the main stalk and the plants will send up side shoots for an encore of color.
New hydrangeas work like magic
Cool, wet summers are perfect for the new reblooming hydrangeas and the fact you can harvest and enjoy the first June blooms and be rewarded with even more flowers all summer long makes hydrangeas a
The Compleat Home Gardener Marianne Binetti Columnist
shrub of incredible value. No other plant will give a landscape more flower color in shaded areas year after year without replanting. Once you remove one of the balls of bodacious blooms it tells the entire shrub to get busy and make more flowers. All this snipping and picking also keeps these new hydrangeas more compact so they can be enjoyed in containers and close to the house without blocking the light from first floor windows. Check nurseries this week for the new dwarf hydrangeas, pee gee hydrangeas and reblooming hydrangeas.
Do and don’ts for happy hydrangeas
Do choose from the reblooming varieties. Endless Summer is the brand name that started it all but you can also find Big Leaf hydrangeas
recommended by Proven Winners with names like Let’s Dance (buds are extra cold tolerant), CityLine (compact plants for smaller yards), Edgy (variegated or bi-colored blooms) and Abracadabra (magical black stems). Do choose a location protected from the hot afternoon sun. Heat will wilt these shrubs even if there is plenty of moisture in the soil. Do harvest or remove the blooms if you want more new growth and late summer color. Don’t fret about the confusing choices and varieties of hydrangeas. They all do well in our climate. Bigleaf hydrangeas or hydrangea macrophylla give the most color. Don’t forget that hydrangeas can be used for a summer screening hedge. Choose one of the “bracted” hydrangeas such as Little Lime or Limelight with pale green and white blooms on more upright plants. These large hydrangeas are more tolerant of winter cold and summer heat than the big leaf hydrangeas. Don’t plant your hydrangeas in deep shade if you want maximum blooms. On the north side of a house your hydrangeas will look healthy but produce few flowers. On the east side of the house or in a woodland garden where the shrubs get four to five hours of filtered sun that same
plant will be covered with blooms. Don’t forget to water your hydrangeas during droughts and improve the soil with organic matter when you add them to the garden. Hydrangeas need the most water the first summer after you plant – this is when they are building a root system. Don’t expect your big leaf hydrangeas to be the exact same color as they are at the nursery. The more acid your soil the more blue the blooms. Our soil is naturally acid. Adding aluminum sulphate to the soil around your hydrangeas will turn them pink or purple – but this may take several seasons to work.

Elected officials need to clearly define what the core services are and then fund them without bowing to lobbying pressure. Funding maintenance for street and highway repair should be moved
out of the political sphere. Improved infrastructure must be a nonpartisan issue. In the long run, building and fixing our roads both helps create jobs and at the same time improves the flow of commerce, further growing the economy and increasing the well-being of all our citizens. I admire greatness in
our leaders and I’m pleased to see that locally we have both Sumner’s Mayor Enslow and Enumclaw’s Mayor Reynolds who set an example of foresight for the state and the nation. Public disclosure: My son is married to David Enslow’s daughter.

Another bridge collapsed recently. This time it was on Interstate 5 just north of Mount Vernon. Fortunately, no one was killed, as occurred when the interstate overpass collapsed in Minneapolis a few years ago. On a related note, a few days ago I read that Mayor David Enslow of Sumner had been working to replace two old bridges over the White River long before the Mount Vernon bridge collapsed. When I read that, I was very pleased to see that Enslow had shown proactive leadership in fixing those bridges before they hurt or killed someone. His admininistration obtained a $9.6 million grant that will cover most of the $12 million replacement cost. That’s the kind of government leadership we need to see more often. I had heard that the loss of the Mount Vernon bridge is costing Costco (in nearby Burlington) $600,000 per day alone

Crash requires jaws of life The following is a press release from East Pierce Fire and Rescue: East Pierce Fire and Rescue firefighters used the jaws of life to remove a driver from his vehicle after
a crash at 6 p.m. Friday, on the 26300 block of SumnerBuckley Highway. According to witnesses, a full-size pickup truck ran into the back of a silage truck, trapping the driver
of the pickup. East Pierce Battalion Chief Jay Adams said because of the way the pickup hit the silage truck, the airbags were not triggered. “It required a fairly lengthy

extrication to remove the driver,” he said. Both lanes of the Sumner-Buckley Highway were closed for about 30 minutes during operations. East Pierce crews transported the driver and passenger from the pickup to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the silage truck was not injured. The scene was turned over to the Pierce County Sheriff’s deputies, who are investigating the cause of the crash.

Traditional industry can’t take a backseat As the budget battles continue in Olympia, state lawmakers are rightly focusing on the need to retain and expand goodpaying aerospace and hightech manufacturing jobs. At the same time, we shouldn’t overlook — or take for granted — the considerable economic contributions of Washington’s traditional industries. For example, forestry was the first economic powerhouse in our state, dating back to 1849. The Washington Forest Protection Association reports that today more than 50,000 people are employed in forest products, including pulp and paper production. When you add in contractors and suppliers, as well as the economic impact of employee spending, Washington’s prolific forests support 118,548 jobs, paying almost $5.3 billion a year. In addition, the forest products sector pays almost $176 million a year in taxes and fees to state and local governments. They could be contributing more, as they did in the past, if our state and federal policies would be more balanced and encouraged management rather than allowing trees to die and become wildfire fuel. Oil refineries are another economic mainstay. According to a study by the Washington Research Council (WRC), our state’s
business and occupation (B&O) tax is levied on gross income, regardless of whether you make a profit. Don Brunell Advantage: President of the Association California. Still, some of Washington Business would like to target Washington’s refinfive major petroleum refiners for even higher ers provided 1,986 full-time taxes and fees. But rather jobs in 2011 at an average than jeopardize these highannual wage of $120,276. paying jobs, why not work In addition, the refiners to expand them? employed 2,919 high-wage The solution is on our contract workers who do doorstep. maintenance and repairs. North Dakota’s Bakken While the average busi- Formation and Three ness has a “job multiplier” effect (outside jobs supported) of two or three, the multiplier for our state’s refineries is 13.23, meaning that each direct refining job generates an additional 12.23 jobs in the state. In total, these five refineries support more than 26,000 jobs, providing almost $1.7 billion in personal income for Washington state in 2011. But how does this important industry fare when it comes to taxes and fees? Surprisingly, refiners in high-tax California fare better than their Washington counterparts. In fact, the WRC found that the tax burden in Washington is more than four times the burden in California. Yes, California has a corporate income tax and we don’t. But while California taxes corporate profits, our
Business View
Forks Formation hold up to 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil. The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that by this time next year, North Dakota will be producing more than a million barrels of oil each day. But there’s not enough refinery capacity in the region to transform that crude oil into higher-value petroleum products. Some people are taking notice. The Wall Street Journal reports that the North Dakota oil boom is spurring the first full-fledged
refineries to be built in the U.S. since 1976. In March, companies broke ground on a 20,000-barrel-a-day refinery west of Bismarck, N.D. that can produce a variety of products from diesel fuel to kerosene. At least three other refineries of similar size are moving off the drawing boards. Even so, these new refineries will be able to process only a fraction of the new oil. With the Keystone Pipeline still in limbo, who will reap the benefits of this new find? In 2011, Washington
refineries processed 536,000 barrels of oil per day. The potential exists that, with the proper investments — and our state’s stringent environmental protections — we could double that capacity within a few years. The question for us is, are we going to starve our traditional industries to the point where we eliminate thousands of high-paying jobs or will we take advantage of an unprecedented opportunity on our very doorstep?

A huge thank you to all who came out for the WRHS Motorsports Club Auto Show May 18th. Over 100 participants showed everything from cars and trucks to tractors and heavy equipment. Some community members brought out cars that hadn’t seen a drop of rain for over 20 years and some, who could not show through the downpours, donated the entry fee anyway. This incredible support of automotive students is very much appreciated. We are especially grateful to our sponsors Barry Rawson Trucking, B & L Cutting, Billy Bobs Offroad, Rolf’s Import Auto Service, Rawson Logging, Doug Britschgi Inc, Buckley Automotive, Foothills Auto Supply, Larry’s Classic Quality Brake & Muffler, O’Reilly Auto Parts, McPherson Trucking, House of Heat, Wilkeson Eagles, Cedar Grove Automotive, Trinka Devine at Shear Magic Salon, Foothills Auto Supply, LKQ, & Parker Pacific. Additionally we would like to thank Johansen Excavating, Tom Hodder, Barry and Tracy Rawson, Rob Stafford, City of Buckley, Log Show Committee, and Doug Toney for their contributions. Funds raised will be used to support students competing in Automotive Skills USA events and rebuild a late 70’s Ford Ranger to be used as a parade vehicle representing our club and school. Motorsports club members look forward to partnering with the community again next year to create another awesome show.
