They may not be as magi-cal as Dorothy’s ruby slip-pers, but U.S. airmen left
Donald Eismann Elementary last week with a little bit of home tucked under their arms.
Master Sgt. Jason Norberg, First Lt. Gina Consoli and Senior Airman Joshua Hitesman were presented with home made pil-lowcases, made by Mrs. Dana Davenport’s third grade on May 6.
Norberg’s squad is being deployed to Qatar in mid-July, and will be taking the pillowcases with them.

Two wheels will rule the road Saturday and Sunday, as the Mutual of Enumclaw Stage Race makes its annual appearance.
The 20th annual event is present-ed by the Blue Rooster Cycling Team and Apex Racing, along with the Enumclaw Police Department, all under the corporate sponsorship of Mutual of Enumclaw.
As usual, competitive cyclists will be found on quiet country roads as well as downtown Enumclaw’s busiest street.
Time trialMotorists will be most impacted by
plenty of cycle traffic on 284th Avenue Southeast, but riders will cover other roads in the southeast area of Enumclaw after departing the Expo Center. Riders will turn west on Mud Mountain Road and travel back toward town, finishing on 268th Avenue Southeast.
Saturday’s time trials cover a 10-kilo-meter course and will see riders hitting the roads at varying times between 7 and 11:30 a.m.
Criterium This is perhaps the best known part of
the two-day Stage Race because it takes place in heart of downtown Enumclaw and impacts traditional traffic f lows through town, both north/south and east/west.
The criterium is fast and furious, with riders often bunched together while
making sharp turns on city streets. Railroad Street has the starting and ending point in the figure-eight course that extends north to Battersby Avenue and south to Griffin Avenue.
Highly-traveled Griffin Avenue will be closed for the duration of the crite-rium, as will portions of Cole and First streets.
The event gets under way at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, with the last race slated for 7:50 p.m.
Road RaceThis event will have riders leav-
ing downtown, heading east to cover Farman Road and Warner Avenue, eventually working their way over two-lane roads to Mud Mountain Road; they’ll eventually climb the steep hill to a spot near Mud Mountain Dam, then return to town on state Route 410.
A Junior Road Race covers just a por-tion of the course.
Depending upon the skill level of the rider, the road race can range from 10 to 86 miles in length. It takes place Sunday, with the first riders taking off at 9:30 a.m.; the last wave will get going at 1:20 p.m.
Stage Race again brings bikes to Enumclaw roads
Time Trial: 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, starting at the Enumclaw Expo Center.
Criterium: 1:30 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. on Saturday starting on Railroad Street, downtown Enumclaw.
Road Race: 9:30 a.m. to 1:20 p.m. on Sunday, starting in downtown Enumclaw.
The Stage Race has been featured in Enumclaw for 20 years. The race will be on the downtown streets and sur-rounding roads. File photo

Norberg said before the students presented Project Pillowcase to the airmen, fellow students and parents. “They’re a great reminder of home.”
Hitesman was glowing after he was presented his pillowcase.
“It’s nice how the kids put time into this. It makes everyone feel appreciated,” Hitesman said. “All the guys in my squadron will have a smile on their face when they see them.”
Norberg and company were presented with 26 hand-sewed and decorated pillowcases.
“Each pillowcase is uniquely different,” Davenport said. “No two are the same.”
Project Pillowcase start-ed three months ago, when Davenport’s class brain-stormed ways they could give back to their commu-nity.
Instead of the traditional fund-raising many schools and individual classrooms
perform, Davenport’s class did something unique; they made their own businesses.
As a class, the students decided their businesses would make and sell brace-lets, and the proceeds from those sales went to buying sewing materials, iron-on patches and fabric markers to make and decorate the pillowcases.
“They basically ran their own businesses for the past three months,” Davenport said. “I’ve always believed in project based learning.”
Kyler, one of Davenport’s
students, said all the hard work was for a good cause.
“I think it’s important because it’s hard being in the middle nowhere not knowing how far you are from home,” Kyler said. “We decided to give them a little bit of home in the pillowcases.”

Plate au d r ivers should be prepared for a Saturday morning delay as Washington State Department of Transportation bridge maintenance staff con-tinue to inspect the State Route 410 White River Bridge.
A single lane across the bridge will be closed from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. May 16. Flaggers will direct traf-
fic through the open lane during the work hours. After those three inspec-tions, further inspections will take place every two months.
DOT inspect ions resulted in similar clo-sures the past two Saturdays.
During a routine inspection on April 4, damage was discovered to a metal beam on the over-head support structure of the bridge. The damage is believed to have been caused by an oversized load striking the bridge. WSDOT immediately closed the bridge to traf-
fic as contractor crews made repairs by con-structing a temporary support structure. The bridge reopened to traf-fic April 11. A perma-nent repair, estimated to cost about $1.5 million, is scheduled to begin later this year.
An inspection on April 26 found that the tempo-rary repairs were func-tioning correctly and the bridge continued to be safe for drivers. These subsequent inspections will be to continue to monitor the temporary repair work until a per-manent fix is completed.
White River Bridge inspection set for May 16Expect delays
between 5:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
The White River Bridge was closed April 4 for about a week when an inspection found the overhead structural damage . Photo courtesy of the Washington State Department of Transportation
approval count moved over the 60 percent mark – by six votes. On May Day it dropped three votes under the line. May 4 it was one vote shy of the line.
May 6 the tally crept over 60 percent by one.
“We are very hopeful and very appreciative of this community,” Nancy Merrill said, co-chair of the 4rKids4rFuture Bond Campaign. “If there is
ever a time when it shows your votes mat-ter, this is the time.”
Merrill also said her Co-chair, Johna Thomson, “did a ton of work. It was good team.” She said many communi-ty members came together to work on the 4rKids4rFu-ture Bond Campaign.”
According to King County Elections man-
datory recounts do not apply to bond measures. Recounts in bond races must be requested and paid
for by the person seeking a recount.
The Canvassing Board met Tuesday to certify the election. Check the web-site, www.courierherald.com for an update on the election results.

The boys making up the Enumclaw High track and field team have run away from the field when it comes to aca-demic excellence.
The EHS crew was among the statewide winners last week when the Washington I n t e r s c h o l a s t i c Activities Association named its academic state champions for the spring season. Winners were named for base-
ball, golf, boys soccer, softball, tennis and track and field. Top teams were recognized in each of the WIAA’s six divisions: Class 4A, 3A, 2A 1A, 2B and 1B.
The 26 members of the Enumclaw boys track and field team collec-tively posted a grade-point average of 3.842. The squad is coached by Janelle Murrell.

The Bonney Lake High girls had an unusual afternoon of tennis Friday. Perhaps taking a cue from the world of baseball, the Panthers played a doubleheader against the visiting Peninsula Seahawks.
The rare tennis double-dip wasn’t part of the original schedule. Rather, both matches against Peninsula had been rained out earlier in the season. With time winding down before postseason action begins, the call was made to play twice on a single afternoon.
The bad news for Bonney Lake is that the Seahawks captured both ends of the twin bill by 3-2 scores.
In both matches, the Panther wins came in doubles action. In the opener, the duo of Samantha Garrity and Kristen Cunningham earned a victory in the No. 1 slot, while Olivia Grob and Mindy Joyce captured the No. 3 doubles battle. In the nightcap, Panther victories were regis-tered by, again, the Garrity/Cummingham duo at No. 1, along with the No. 3 pair of Kadie Demich and Kiera Watson.
Other matches were as follows.Match 1No. 1 singles: Allie Barry (P) def Elizabeth Matison (BL) 6-0, 6-0.No. 2 singles: Sasha Mayer (P) def. Kadie Demich (BL) 6-1, 6-1.No. 2 doubles: Lee/Burdyshaw (P) def. Littlefield/Gleason (BL) 6-4,

Ask any salesperson what they need to sell a product and they’ll say two things.
First, there must be a need for the product being sold.
Second, there has to be rapport between the com-pany and the consumer.
The news indus-try is no differ-ent than a busi-ness in this sense. Information is a valuable commod-ity that will never depreciate, so the need for TV news stations and news-papers remains
strong.What the news industry doesn’t have is rapport. For
many reasons, the public finds it hard to trust us. According to a 2013 Gallup poll, only 21 percent of
Americans rated newspaper reporters as highly honest and ethical.
That’s just above lawyers and TV reporters (20 percent), cars salespeople (9 percent) and members of Congress (8 percent), and right below business execu-tives (22 percent) and local officeholders (23 percent).
I’m no statistician, but those numbers don’t look too friendly for us, and it only gets worse.
According to the Pew Research Center, 66 percent of Americans said news stories are inaccurate.
(Note that these numbers refer to the news industry in general. When people were asked about their local or favorite news sources, 62 percent of Americans said news stories are accurate.)
Additionally, 77 percent of Americans said the news

“Iran spends $35 billion a year to prop up the Assad regime, according to one estimate.”
This report comes from an Iranian official who was interviewed by Nicholas Blanford, a Christian Science Monitor correspondent in an April 27 article entitled, “Why Iran Is Standing by its Weakened, Expensive Ally, Syria.”
A senior Iranian cleric, Mehdi Tebb, was quoted by Blanford as
saying, “Syria is a strategic province for us… If we lose Syria, we can-not keep Tehran” (Iran’s capital).
The problem is not so much Bashar al Assad, Syria’s leader,
continuing to keep control of what little he still governs. Al Assad is expendable to the Iranians, accord-ing to Blanford.
Iran needs a way to connect to its Shiite ally, Hezbollah, operating out of Lebanon on the Mediterranean. If
that line of supply and war material is cut, it will be very difficult to prevent Israel and the United States from being able to shape the Middle East according to their strategic visions.
From Iran’s perspective, al Assad should abandon the northern city of Aleppo, the major commercial center for Syria, if fighting continues to go against loyalist forces in that region.
The al Assad regime has suffered between 80,000 and 100,000 killed or wounded soldiers in the four-year civil war and lacks the ability to effectively counterattack the Syrian

City didn’t follow advice to support local business
I am writing to tell the powers that be at Enumclaw City Hall how disappointed I am that they chose to give the contract for the city hang-ing baskets to a nursery out of our area.
The contract was given to
Windmill Gardens in Sumner, which as everyone knows is in a different county. They do not pay taxes to our schools, library or fire department. Nor do they shop in our stores. Many times I have heard the phrase “shop locally,” yet you failed to do so yourselves. Remember, this is the “Plateau,” not the “Valley.”
Apparently, some of your reason-ing was “the baskets weren’t nice.” Once the baskets left GE&B it was no longer their responsibility to care for them. GE&B was punished for
someone not taking care of them properly.
As one who has bought my flow-ers from GE&B for 35 years I can honestly say I have never purchased any flowers from them that weren’t beautiful and healthy.
It is probably too late to rectify this mistake in judgment but I truly hope you will do so next year.

There are four dreaded words every dairy farmer (and wife, son or daughter of a dairy farmer) hates to hear: “the cows are out!”
Sometimes one is alert-ed by a phone call from a friendly neighbor, a helpful passerby might knock on the door to deliver the news or you might catch a loom-ing black-and-white figure grazing in the flower bed out of the corner of your eye while strolling past a win-dow. I once heard a story of my dad being raised from a dead sleep because he heard a cow chewing grass outside his bedroom window.
Regardless, those four
words have the same effect on dairy folks as the tone-out on a first responder’s pager. We drop everything we are doing, (eating breakfast, leg shaving, opening Christmas gifts) and head for the first pair of barn boots our feet find on the porch. It doesn’t matter if they are your dad’s size 11 Lacrosse boots and
you normally wear a kid’s size 13 Western Chief; you slide your feet, socks or not, into those rubber boots. If there is time, one might grab a Carhart from the coat rack on the way out the door, but the main goal is to
get between those milk cows and the dahlia beds.
When confronting an escapee, one must face the direction you want her to go, make yourself wide with a greater-than-shoul-der-width stance (or steps, depending on how fast the half-ton milk producer is
traveling) and raise your arms quickly to shoulder height with fingers splayed, palms facing the offender while doing quick, half-jumping jack motions to grab her attention and get her moving toward an open gate. Sometimes this motion is accompanied by monosyl-labic grunting noises or a full-on string of curse words depending on how many times this event has occurred in the past week.
If you were not raised on a farm, you just read that last paragraph visualizing a lunatic and might even be rolling your eyes at what you feel is an exaggerated description. However, if you were raised on a farm or ever worked on a farm, you realized I have painted a precise picture of what your body does involun-tarily after you have run down the gravel driveway like Forrest Gump in clown shoes (your dad’s boots) to cut off half a herd of fugi-
tive livestock.This exciting turn of
events was usually instigated by an open gate or power-less electric fence, both of which were easier to remedy than the chaos they created. It was only after all the cows are enclosed safely within a perimeter of fence that we could return to our regularly scheduled programming, unless of course, we had been sleeping when those four dreaded words rang in our ears. The amount of adrenaline coursing through one’s veins after 10 to 15
minutes of cow chasing isn’t really conducive to drifting off to sleep again.
Early in 2001, my dad decided to retire from the dairy biz. His cows were loaded up and hauled out of the Veazie Valley for someone else to chase. It has been a long time since those four words have inter-rupted my life, but I’m posi-tive the strongly conditioned response would still cause me to leap up and race for the door. Once a farmer’s daughter, always a farmer’s daughter.

Four dreaded farm words: The cows are out!In The Day
Jennifer AndersonColumnist
The Allegro Women’s Ensemble and performing guests invite the public to “The Gift of Song,” an afternoon of musi-cal entertainment to benefit the Weekend Backpack programs in Enumclaw and Buckley.
The concert is planned for 3 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at The Claw, 1324 Roosevelt Ave. in Enumclaw.
Weekend Backpack programs attempt to ensure that all children in the Plateau communities have the healthy food they need to grow strong in body and mind. School breakfast and lunch programs meet the needs of children five days a week; backpack programs provide food to help meet children’s nutritional needs when they may not have adequate access to food on weekends.
The Weekend Backpack program sup-porting students and their families in the Enumclaw School District is supported and managed through the Rainier Wellness Foundation, Neighbors Feeding Neighbors Hunger Task Force.
The program serving the White River School District is supported and managed by members of Community
Presbyterian Church. Both programs rely on the support of
community donations. Between the two programs there are 384 to 400 food back-packs provided every weekend to students in Buckley and Enumclaw and there are a host of volunteers involved.
Those attending the May 17 benefit con-cert will pay no admission charge but monetary donations will be collected. The ensemble and performing guests, together with The Equanimity Foundation that is providing the concert venue, are absorbing the cost of the benefit so 100 percent of all donations will be used to purchase food for the backpack programs.
In addition to the concert, donations can also be made to both programs through the Rainier Wellness Foundation, P.O. Box 905, Enumclaw, 98022. Donors should specify “Weekend Backpack Programs” when making their contribution.
Information about the Rainier Wellness Foundation can be found at www.rfwell-nessfoundation.org.
More information about the concert can be obtained by emailing: [emailprotected].

Get thee to a nursery
this second week of May because you now have the green light to fill window boxes, plant up porch pots and turn your patio into a blooming wonderland of color. Celebrate our pollinators and wildlife at the Tukwila Backyard Wildlife Festival and cel-ebrate moms by visiting Powellswood Pleasure Gardens in Federal Way;
you’ll have plenty of inspi-ration to fill up a nursery cart with color that will last all summer long.
Combining colors in a container garden is a lot like painting a picture and many of our most famous artists have been gardeners as well. I’ll be speaking this week about art and artists in the gar-den (check my website at www.binettigarden.com for details) but these three types of petunias will help you paint your own summer color with success.
Superbells Calibrachoa hybrids – more compact for small spaces
These bright bloomers look like mini petunias only they are much better behaved. In our climate the Superbells resist rain and wind damage and fill up a container with com-pact and tidy blooms in enticing bi-color combi-nations. Mix Superbells
with spiky plants and trailing plants or pot up a bunch together for a massive display. If you have a small space these make a big impression.
Coralberry Punch Calibrachoa
This bi-color blooms orange with a dark
eye and looks great in a terra cotta pot or next to a brick wall or walkway. You don’t need to remove the spent blossoms – just feed and water for repeat-ing blooms. Plant with orange and lime green coleus and purple sweet potato vine for a trio with a tropical punch.
Supertunia Petunia Hybrids – mid-size blooms and medium size plants
Bicolor blooms make the Supertunia hybrids perfect for combining with foliage plants or using as specimens. The show stopper that started the sensation was a pur-ple and lime green petu-nia called “Pretty Much Picasso” and this year you can find the Supertunia “Picasso in Pink” with the same lime green edging around the petals but with a bright pink center. The vivid colors mean you can turn up the color volume by adding these around an evergreen shrub or cascading from a mixed basket. Supertunias are super easy to grow in sun or semi shade.
Wave Petunias – oceans of color from groundcover petunias that will swamp the gar-den with a sea of blooms.
If you have a large space to fill, look for the Wave petunias that will spread out to 3 feet wide and a foot tall. The Wave petu-nias come in solid shades of white, pink and pur-ple and you can mix and match to make stripes or drifts of color. Like all petunias the Wave petu-nias do best in full sun in soil that drains well but can be kept moist during the dry months of August and September. You don’t need to deadhead or prune back these spread-ing petunias but you do need to give them room to grow.
Mid-May is prime time to celebrate blooms

A f t e r op e r a t i n g Almost Necessit ies for 21 years at Enumclaw’s busiest intersec t ion, Peggy Wenham decided it was time for a change.
The result is Almost
Necessit ies Chapter 2, which opened for busi-ness May 1, sti l l at the corner of Cole Street and Griff in Avenue.

During the month of May police officers will be conducting a special traffic enforce-ment emphasis looking for seat belt, child safety seat and suspended driving viola-tions.
Bonney Lake Police Officers for the month of May, 2015 will impose a no toler-ance policy on these violations and will be issuing traffic infractions and citations in an attempt to reduce injuries and deaths that result from motor vehicle collisions with unbuckled and unlicensed drivers.
Wearing a seat belt decreases the chance of dying or being seriously injured in a col-lision by about 70 percent.
According to a recent study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, one in every five fatal car crashes in the United States each year involves a driver who does not have a valid license. The study reported that 8,400 people die on average each year in crashes with unlicensed drivers.
If your vehicle is impounded by the Bonney Lake Police Department for driv-ing with your license suspended, you will need to request a release form in person at the Bonney Lake Police Department, pay $100 administrative fee at the Bonney Lake Police Department, and pay all impound and storage fees to tow company and pro-vide them the release form and administra-tive fee receipt during business hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.

rebels, according to Blanford. Since Syria is majority Sunni, al Assad can’t get more reinforcements from them.
As the article stated, quoting a former Syrian official, “To prevail, 200,000 to 300,000 mothers need to be convinced to send their sons to fight. But why would a Sunni mother and father send their son to die for Bashar al-Assad?”
Al Assad is fighting the rebels in both the north and the south of the country and has suffered strategic losses in recent weeks as Saudi Arabia and Turkey, as well as Qatar and Jordan, have allied against al-Assad. The various factions of rebel fighters have also been better able to coordinate their attacks and have attained major victories.
Iran has already spent billions of dol-lars in weapons and thousands of lives to support al Assad. They would spend more, but the western sanctions against them are deeply hurting the regime’s ability to pay. That’s one major reason why Iran wants to sign a nuclear agree-ment so badly with the United States. It would free up resources to continue to support Hezbollah.
This might be construed as an argu-ment for the U.S. not to sign a nuclear deal with Iran, but the Sunni ISIS threat in Iraq and Syria is a big enough
problem for the Iranians. The U.S. also wants to see ISIS destroyed and is more willing to see Iranians fighting them rather than U.S. soldiers with boots on the ground.
Israel and Iran may find them-selves re-allying in the coming years, as they did during the shah’s years of rule. Both nations have common enemies among the Sunni Arabs that live between them. It seems logical that Israel and Iran would link up to protect their common interests in the region as strategy changes due to what occurs in Syria and Iraq.
President Obama’s strategy of bal-ance of power is already forcing Saudi Arabia and Turkey to become more active in the region. Neither coun-try wants to see Iran as the domi-nant regional power. Obama’s strategy seems to play the three major regional powers off against each other, so the U.S. can continue its pivot to Asia to counter China’s growing aggression in that region.
The Syrian civil war bears continual watching to see which in direction dominance in the region will gravi-tate. Expect to see the battles continu-ing with no real end to the conf licts. Expect also for Iran to continue to support Syria with billions of dollars of aid each year, whether or not al Assad remains in power.
ELFERS FROM 6
The Apostle Paul was quite a guy. I know that is a huge understatement. He was great at unpack-ing hugely complicated topics over chapters but he also had the ability to put a spiritual smack down in one sentence.
As I’ve been study-ing 1 Corinthians dur-ing the last year and a half I’ve found these nuggets. Recently, I found this one in chapter 14. Paul is going along talking about spiritual gifts and the way they should work in a service. In the middle of Paul describing the way Tongues, Interpretation
and Prophecy should all work together, he throws down a quality challenge. In 1 Corinthians chapter 14 verse 20 he says, “Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature” (ESV).
This verse starts of with the admonishment, “…
do not be children in your thinking.” What are some of the key dif-ferences between adults and children in realm of thinking? I came up with a couple that I think are important. A child reacts to information and adults respond to infor-mation. For example,
when a child wants some-thing in the store and is convinced they are in need of the item and a parent informs them they do not need said item, there is usu-ally a reaction often times by arching their back and letting out a cry or scream. If they are walking they may fall on the floor and kick. Adults have grown in maturity and have learned to deal with disappoint-ment. When told “no” as an adult there is a response to this information that is far more emotionally healthy and much less embar-rassing. Also, adults have learned through experience where a child has not yet had that ability, which leads

By Ray StillReporter
When I was in the fourth grade, my classroom was selected to be one of the first classes in the district to use a smart television.
In 1999, this smart televi-sion prototype was a mon-ster – it took up a whole corner of the room, and a ring of three or four of the tallest students could maybe encircle it by linking hands.
Of course, the best days we had in class were when we could go up to the tele-vision and use one of it’s magnetic pens to solve a
problem or write an exam-ple for the whole class to see.
It was way more fun than using those boring old whiteboards and over-head projectors, although it took way more time and effort to turn on the smart TV (a good solid five min-utes) and then calibrating it (another two or three) than it would to use almost anything else.
Still, I would argue that my level of interest and involvement in the class-room through using state-of-the-art technology helped me learn lessons and retain the information bet-
ter than a sitting in class, bored and uninterested.
The Sumner School District is thinking along those same lines. If using technology can keep kids interested and focused in school, they’ll learn more, retain more, and be overall better students.
Increases in Learning & Productivity
One of the first things I noticed when I sat with Sandy Maynard, the chief technology officer in the Sumner School District, was the piles of laptop boxes stored in her office.
Other young adults may remember during their high school years there were only two or three lap-top carts that would roll around the school, and it was up to teachers to plan way ahead of time to coor-dinate when they would need the computers.
Maynard said that will no longer be a problem in the next three years, and the evidence was stacked right behind her.
“In the state of Washington, we have the largest deployment of Chromebooks per stu-dent,” Maynard said. “We have just under 5,000
Chromebooks that are in the district.”
According to Maynard, only third, fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth grade class-es currently have access to an individual Chromebook in their classroom.
But by 2017, all students from third grade through 12 grade will be using Chromebooks in their classrooms, Maynard said.
The Chromebooks are a sleek product. Unlike tra-ditional desktop computer or even mainstream lap-tops, which is preloaded with software programs, Chromebooks only run the Google Chrome web browser.
The lack of desktop applications may seem counterintuitive when it comes to student education, but it does two things for students.
First, the lack of software makes the Chromebooks highly usable in a class-room setting.
“We have skimmed time off of classroom instruc-tion because kids can get into stuff almost instantly,” Maynard said. “As fast as you can (log in), you are there. So the productivity is high.”
The school district found that traditional desktops and laptops can take up to four minutes to log in and be ready for students use, according to Maynard.
I recall my filmmaking class in high school and waiting for as long as 10 minutes for the clunky, obsolete desktops to get all set up for me to edit my projects.
In contrast, the Chrome desktops are much quicker, speeding up the login pro-
cess up to two minutes or less, said Maynard.
“That doesn’t sound like a lot, but if you have a 40 minute day with a student, those seconds kill you.”
Second, the lack of per-manent software means teachers are free to explore different ways to teach their lessons. As Maynard explained later in our talk, there are countless web programs and websites that teachers can use to individ-ualize classroom learning. Not being chained to soft-ware may mean more work for teachers, as they would be responsible for finding information and develop-ing new lessons, but the students can greatly benefit from learning outside the box.
Applying Teaching Applications
As technology becomes more and more common in the classroom, education apps for laptops, tablets and phones are becoming com-monplace.
Although Maynard said the Sumner School District doesn’t yet have an official list of apps for teachers to use, the Google Play Store already has a few dozen free apps for teachers to use in their classroom.
One app is called Common Core.
Common Core is a set of collection of academic standards for math and language arts used in Washington state.
The Common Core app, developed by MasteryConnect, allows students, teachers and

us to the next portion of Scripture, “be infants in evil.” When you think about an infant you think about innocence and puri-ty. My good friend just had a son and I got to hold him while he was sleeping. What a cool experience. Just a few days old with his whole life ahead. God wants us, just as my friend’s son is innocent, to be inno-cent in our understanding of evil. However, we tend to think that we should have a healthy understanding of evil or sinful behavior so we can be more relevant. Paul doesn’t seem to think so. If we try and minister and connect from a place of sinful knowledge then we are not ministering from health but are ministering from a place of emotional and spiritual trauma. Let me give you an example. As a chaplain I listen to the firefighters and officers that I work with. From time to time we have scenes that are especially gruesome, perhaps a car accident or maybe a suicide. The guys will tell me, “Marcus, don’t look.” I trust them. It is not necessary for me to see what they see in order to be able to care for them. In fact, if I insist on seeing the gruesome sight I am as traumatized as they are and unable to care for them like I need to.
This is why I think Paul ends this sentence with, “…in your thinking be mature.” Paul doesn’t want Christians to be demanding and childish in our think-ing while greatly experi-enced in sin. He is asking us to be mature about the way we process life.

Changes to Allan Yorke Park Boat Launch
The City of Bonney Lake plans to change the method of payment for use of the Allan Yorke Park boat
launch. Fees will remain the same, but instead of paying to launch, boat users will instead pay to park. Residents living inside the Bonney Lake city limits can purchase an annual Resident Parking Pass and receive a sticker that can be placed in the rear window. Others may purchase a daily parking pass at the boat launch payment kiosk, as in previous years, and place the receipt on the front dashboard. The daily pass will still cost $17 plus sales tax. The resident seasonal pass will continue to be available for $30 plus tax at the Finance–Utilities desk at the Justice &
Municipal Center, 9002 Main St E, Suite 250, Bonney Lake. The non-resident season pass pilot program is no longer available. Those parking a boat trailer at Allan Yorke Park will need to display either a resident pass on the rear window or a daily pass on the front dashboard. Violators will be subject to a $41 fine plus court costs, similar to a parking ticket. For additional information, please visit www.citybonneylake.org and click the Boat Launch Updates link. This assumes Lake Tapps will have sufficient water to open the boat launch, which may not be the case based on current and projected lake levels.
The City maintains 52 stormwater ponds encompassing 118 acres of land. The crew that
maintains these ponds is also responsible for weed abatement, grass cutting, and tree trimming along 154 miles of Right of Way adjacent to City streets. The City hires a number of seasonal employees each summer to provide grounds maintenance of these facilities. As a result, depending on weather and other maintenance and operational demands placed on these crews, the grounds maintenance work at any one
stormwater pond site can only be accomplished two and possibly three times a year. This is aggravated by the rapid growth of grass (and weeds) that occurs in the spring and early summer. While the City would like to maintain all ROW and stormwater ponds at the same level of service we do in our parks, this is impractical. Homeowners, businesses, HOAs and other property owners are encouraged to help the City maintain these properties so the City will look the best it can.

interested parents to view and understand the lan-guage arts and math stan-dards set for kindergarten through 12th grade.
Socrative Teacher is also a free app, designed to be able to quiz students quickly on a topic and give them and the teacher instant feedback on how the class is performing.
Socrative Teacher is also able to ask open-
ended questions to which students can respond, and then vote on which answer is the most cor-rect.
All data from Socratic Teacher can be easily sent to a teacher’s Google Drive, which makes access to questions, quiz-zes and grading data easy.
Online educationEducational websites
have come a long way since I was in school. I
remember getting ready for summer vacation and teachers passing out lists of kid and student-friend-ly websites that could help us stay sharp on what we learned doing the school year.
Problem was, you couldn’t learn from the websites. If you didn’t get the concept in school, there was a slim chance the website would walk you through a lesson so you could learn it.
But with advances in
both education and tech-nology, some educational websites have successfully taken off and are help-ing students, teachers and even parents across the world learn math, science and language arts.
One website is IXl (www.ixl.com), which has materials for kindergar-ten through 12th grad-ers in math and language arts.
The website breaks down both subjects into digestible lessons that often start with a ques-tion, like asking about the domain and range of a graph is or where a comma should be placed in a sentence.
If you don’t know the answer, don’t worry. The
website will walk you through why you got the question wrong, give additional examples of similar problems, and help you correct your answer. Once you feel comfortable with the con-cept, you move on to the next question.
The website keeps track of how many ques-tions you get right and how long it takes you to answer a strings of ques-tions.
Another website is Khan Academy (www.k h a n a c a d e m y . o r g ) . Unlike IXL, Khan Academy has topics rang-ing from math and lan-guage arts to science, eco-nomics and finance, arts and humanities, comput-
ing and test prep. The website will start
users off with warmup questions to determine your starting level, so users aren’t bored by re-learning fundamentals.
After finishing up the warmups, the website will let users practice what they think they need assistance on, or contin-ue practicing what they already know until those skills are mastered.
Videos are available for each skill for those who don’t understand a ques-tion or topic.
Just remember to keep a pen and paper handy for each website though – workspace isn’t included online.

Tips for growing petuniasThese are annual
plants, which mean they live for just one summer but will bloom until the first hard frost, usually until October. Petunias are heat lovers and love full sun but will adapt to half-day of sun with fewer
blooms. Like most annu-als, petunias need plenty of fertilizer to keep pump-ing out the f lowers and the soil should be kept just barely moist. Work some slow-release plant food into the soil at plant-ing time and then feed every two to three weeks with a liquid plant food as well. If your petunias grow too long and leggy you can cut them back to just a few pairs of leaves and fertilize with a liquid plant food. In a couple of weeks they’ll be cov-ered with more blooms on a more compact plant. In general, the bigger the bloom the larger the plant and the more space the petunia will need.
Garden Gossip on Petunias
The double-f lowering petunia varieties look great in the greenhouse but they do not hold up well in rainy weather. Unless you have a pro-tected spot to grow them out of the rain you’ll be disappointed.

East Pierce Fire and Rescue invites all Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Campfire members up to fifth grade to attend the second annual Scout Night event from 6-7:30 p.m. Friday, May 29 at our headquarters sta-tion in Bonney Lake, at 18421 Veterans Memorial Drive. The free event is intended for groups within East Pierce Fire & Rescue’s service area, including Bonney Lake, Sumner, Lake Tapps, Milton, Edgewood, South Prairie and unincorpo-rated Buckley.
“Each year, East Pierce f iref ighters faci l itate numerous public educa-tion requests from scout groups trying to achieve certain badge require-ments. In an effort to reach more scouts, we thought they deserved an event of their very own Scout Night,” said East Pierce Public Education Specia l ist Dina Sutherland.
Scouts wil l rotate through various learn-ing stations at this free event designed to address several badge require-ments. Learning stations include:
Home Safety: Identify
how to fix or prevent var-ious home hazards; learn the importance of smoke alarms and when to call 911.
Basic First Aid: Learn first aid basics such as how to cool a burn, treat cuts and a bloody nose, what to do if someone is choking, how to treat bee stings and identify signs of an allergic reaction.
H o m e E s c a p e Planning: Scouts will design a home escape plan identifying two ways out of every room, des-ignate a meeting place, learn to crawl low under smoke and when and how to shelter in place.
E m e r g e n c y Preparedness: Learn why it’s important to have an emergency plan, how to assemble an emergency kit and the importance of an out-of-area contact.
Fi ref ig hter a nd Pa r a med ic Tools , Equipment and Careers: Get an up close look at the equipment firefight-ers use to stay safe and do their job and ask the fire-fighters why they chose their career.
Law Enforcement Equipment and Careers: Interested in being a police off icer? Learn
about their job and the equipment they use every day.
Ropes and Knots: Watch firefighters dem-onstrate various knot tying, then spend some time practicing the skill.
9-1-1: Practice mak-ing a 9-1-1 “call” on our interactive 9-1-1 call sim-ulator. Learn what infor-mation the dispatcher needs to help you, and know when to call and not to call 9-1-1.
Attendance is limited and advance registration is required. Scout leaders can call 253-863-1800 or email [emailprotected] with the unit number and num-ber of scouts who plan to attend. Since park-ing is extremely limit-ed, Sutherland suggests carpooling. Parking is available in the gravel lots behind the fire sta-tion and at the corner of Main Street and Veterans Memorial Drive East.

Lakeridge Middle School student Amelia Day’s short story “Two minds, one fate” placed third in Pierce County Library’s “Our Own Expressions” art and writing contest.
I wake up to find myself shackled to the wall. I know why I’m here. Sometimes I
feel as if I know too much. There are oth-ers out there like me, though for all I know they’re dead or worse, subjected to the labo-ratory testing. We all share a unique trait, we all have tried to keep it hidden, but we all knew that eventually we would be found out… like I am now. The common trait we share? We can all think with two, for lack of a better word, minds at the same time. There is no scientific name for our condition, because for all the public knows, we don’t exist. I can focus both of my minds on one thing, much like the average human can with their one mind, but that comes with a side effect, and not a bad one. I am able to use twice the brain power of one of my minds alone, and even one of the minds I keep in my head, is smarter than the average. Though I could have easily excelled in all of my classes, my parents warned me that I had to keep my intelligence to myself, so I wouldn’t end up in a bad situation…the exact one I’m in now.
My mind has gone through countless sce-narios in my head. All of my life I have feared
the moment I step into whatever painful, torture they have dreamed up, and now here I am. Hours, maybe minutes away to finding out what I have wondered and feared about for all of my childhood, finding out what will happen. In a strange way, I am intrigued at finally figuring out the question that has plagued me my entire life, the one question I have yet to solve, but I know that the relief at solving that puzzle would fall away soon. Soon I will know, soon I will find out, and soon I will suffer like I have never suffered before. I am frightened beyond belief, but I need to keep myself in the present.
As I lay on the ground, I scan the room finding it desolate, clean, and without even one bit of furniture in the place, let alone a toilet. I reason that without the means of a toilet and the cleansed condition of the room, they will not leave me in here long enough to force me to use the floor as a lavatory. No, they will get me, and bring me somewhere. I don’t know where, but I’m sure that I will soon find out.
The door creaks open slowly, and a young man walks through. With my eyes, I beg him to help, but he won’t meet my desperate gaze.
“Follow me,” the man says in a deep baritone voice. I walk toward him slowly. Struggling will not help, only compliance. He leads me through the maze-like hallways.
I blink constantly as I stumble down the corridor. Whatever drug they gave me must have made me unsteady and the bright white lights they installed here are certainly not helping. Suddenly, he stops at another door, numbered 415 and I nearly run into him. He says nothing as he gestures towards the door, but I can see the not-quite-concealed concern on his face. Maybe he’s not entirely bought into the whole “researching” thing, but he says nothing, so I stay silent as well.
I place my hand on the sleek metal door-knob and glance over at the guard for con-firmation. Seeing him nod, I open the door shakily, more nervous than ever. I had only heard stories from my parents, only myths of what these rooms really held, but I’m not sure I would even want to know the instru-ments of my pain, the instruments that would deliver my torture. Peeking into the room, I see a single woman clad in all black and adorned with a shining necklace. She is sitting in a chair, and is studying the walls of the room, though they are bare, but for one metal door. I shudder. What could be beyond it, sleek, metal machines, shackled medical beds? I shake these thoughts out of my mind. Only focus on what you know, I remind myself in my head. I focus my minds back on the lady in the chair. I wouldn’t call this woman appealing, though I wouldn’t call her ugly. She has a sort of cold power about her, stiff straight features, and just looking at her makes me feel a sense of fear. As I come into the room step after shaky step, her snake-like eyes flit across my body, judging my every feature.
“Abby, I’ve heard much about you,” she said slowly, calculating. I don’t know whether to thank her or demand what it was that she had heard, so I stayed silent. Rising from the chair (metal and white, as is seemingly everything in this place), she comes toward me.
“I know you may be frightened, but don’t
worry.” she says, taking my hand. I felt a strange urge to trust her, though I knew it was just an act.
“Where is ‘here’ exactly?” I say forcefully.“Here is where you need to be,” she
responds back coldly, as a warning. I feel a chill pass across my back. Clearing her throat, she continues on her mantra.
“You are a key part to our research facility, renowned for its study of newly discovered neuroscience, the study of others much like you.”
“Like me in what way?” I defiantly retort, not thinking of the consequences it might bring.
“I think you know that answer,” she said, before turning her back on me.
Carefully, she pulls a gun out of her pocket.“I’m not afraid of using this,” she says,
slowly, her gaze focused on the handgun. She absentmindedly starts to spin it around the fingers of her hand in a carefree way that frightens me even more.
“No, we can get most of the information we need with you dead. Of course, having you alive would be much more valuable, though I’m not sure you’ll want to even be alive once we get started.” The curves of her mouth turn upward slightly at this, but soon drift back down into their normal position. Again my eyes dart to the door, number 416, but I quickly turn my attention back to her. I have the sense to ask no more questions, only follow this mysterious and deadly woman across the room to the numbered, white door that holds the answers to all of my current questions.
“Your turn Abby,” she says menacingly, stepping away from the door, implying that I should go in. This was the moment I had feared. The moment of clarity, but yet, the moment of great sorrow. Taking a deep breath, I slowly grip the cool handle, open the dreaded door, and step into whatever awaits me.

FOE R.E.A.C.’S Easter egg hunt a huge success
The community turn out for the Easter Egg Hunt was once again a huge success thanks to these contributing mer-chants – Target, Walmart and Safeway of Bonney Lake. A special thank you is extended to Dee Allred, our many volun-teers, Easter Bunny Colton Kearns and especially to Heritage House for pro-viding such grand prizes to the following young-sters – Parker Haynes, Abigai l Nebendahl, Kianna Rohren, and Molly Clarke. R.E.A.C.’s main charity is the Alzheimer Foundation and our greatest joy is seeing chil-dren light up when they
see the Easter Bunny.
Angels have greatly supported community center
The Black Diamond Community Center had visits from angels through-out December and many businesses and organiza-tions earned their wings and more.
The Black Diamond Antique Store present-ed our center with two large water bottles full of change. The value was over $2,000. Owner Brenda Evenson and her staff had been asking customers to put their change into the jars since last December. A new food warmer for our kitchen will be bought with that money and dedi-cated to all customers of the Antique Store. Brenda, who came up with the idea, continues to support us.
The Lake Sawyer Christian Church contin-ues to support our cen-ter. Youth coordinator Jen Clintworth with the American Heritage Girls Troup 4673 and ACTS North Co-op presented us with hundreds of hats, gloves and socks for our
Share the Joy program. Tori Ammons, who owns the Black Bear Outpost, and Auburn Mountainview High School’s Honor Society gave us stuffed stockings for our Share the Joy toy giveaway. Retailer Zumiez gave us 250 coats, hats, socks and gloves. Come in anytime to get your free coat if you need one. Andrew Haney, Rotary member and owner of Elephant Car Wash in Maple Valley, supplied one extra bike for a special boy on Santa’s list. The Maple Valley and Black Diamond Rotary provided over 135 seniors with a free prime rib dinner on Dec. 19. Derek Turek from Black Diamond Elementary, and his “Kindness Club” made placemats for our senior lunches, a special home-town touch for our seniors. The Pythians adopted two families and supplied food, toys and other won-derful holiday items.
What holiday season would be complete with-out Mrs. Santa Claus? Melissa Kelley, wife of Bryan Kelley who owns Valley Automotive and is the president of the Automobile Service Association of King and

sources are politically biased, and 80 percent said the news is often influenced by people and organizations with deep pockets.
In short, these num-bers make for a tough sell. Much of the public doesn’t trust the news industry, because they think our information isn’t accurate, it’s forwarding a political agenda or it’s censored and controlled.
I wish I could say the public’s doubt in the news industry isn’t well found-ed, but as a news consumer myself, I feel the same con-fusion and distrust many other people feel towards the industry. Every time a
journalist makes up sourc-es for a story or a news anchor is caught lying on TV, the entire industry’s credibility takes a hit.
But even though the industry is up against the ropes, there is still time to come back. All we need to do is earn back that public trust.
Think about other pub-lic services we rely on; doctors, teachers, police officers. Besides working for the public good, they have one other thing in common.
They’re accredited. Vouched for. Licensed. They’ve gone through rigorous study and test-ing to ensure they have the knowledge and skills necessary for serving the public.
(By the way, nurses, pharmacists, teachers and doctors top that Gallup list of most trusted profes-sions. Coincidence?)
If the news industry is going to come back from this public relations night-mare, then we’ve got to earn that same level of credibility.
It should take more than a bachelors degree in lib-eral arts, a laminated press pass and a by-line to be a journalist.
The industry needs to come together and create an independent, apoliti-cal organization to over-see the development and accreditation of a new gen-eration of educated, ethi-cal and honest journalists.
Accrediting journalists would change the news
industry in several ways. First, a national orga-
nization can lead a coor-dinated effort to educate prospective journal-ists on media law, First Amendment rights and reporting ethics.
Passing an accreditation exam would be similar to a lawyer passing the bar exam, or a doctor’s medi-cal exams. It’s a way to keep track of journal-ists who have taken the time and effort to educate themselves on the ever-changing news world.
As more journalists become accredited, we will see a shift in the industry’s attitude towards news, replacing the notion that news should be reported first and fact-checked later with the belief that the news should be more accu-rate than fast, and more honest than political.
The American public is tired of rapid-fire news reporting, where facts are shot out of a cannon at readers and viewers with-out context or a knowledge base. They want accurate and honest reporting, even if that means getting their news a little slower.
Unfortunately, the heads of the news industry have gone in the opposite direction.
In an attempt to staunch the slow but deadly bleed-ing of the industry, many reporters and journal-ists have lost their jobs so newspapers and TV sta-tions can stay financially af loat.
This only makes it harder for remaining journalists to gather and report accurate informa-tion. Some newspapers and news stations may be in the financial black, but
if responsibility could be recorded in a ledger, we’d be deep in the red.
The news industry shouldn’t be treated like a business, and the bottom line shouldn’t be about money.
It should be about trust, ethics and honesty. Those are the ideas the public wants the news industry to adhere to.
If we as journalists hold ourselves to that stan-dard on a national level, and find a way to make us more accountable and trustworthy, the public will start believing in the fourth estate again.

Disappointed with city’s business decision
If you are a business owner in Enumclaw and a vendor for the city of Enumclaw and its cur-rent mayor, for over 30 years, to find out (after the fact) that you are sum-marily dismissed without notice – how would you feel? If you are a resident who has enjoyed the flower baskets created by GE&B Nursery adorning our city streets during the summer months, you need to know
that those baskets will now be supplied by a Sumner vendor.
Here are the facts behind this (lack of a better word) “firing” – without ver-bal and/or written notice – of a business celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary in Enumclaw and going out-side of 98022 – so much for 98022 Shop Local.
• A pattern was estab-lished over the years, a good faith understanding as the city never formally put it in writing, to ensure the baskets were on sched-ule and up by May 22nd each year. GE&B ordered and received all the flowers for 70 plus baskets. GE&B also stored free of charge the city’s baskets since the
80s.• Ellen Fant Horton,
owner, received one phone call from a city employee at the beginning of March. This was a very informal conversation wherein he asked about the possibility of some additional baskets, informed Ellen Horton that the mayor and city were not happy with last year’s baskets, maybe changing to mixed petunia baskets like Buckley. This was the extent of the conversation.
• Ellen told the city, as an example, the price of additional larger wooden baskets would be higher, maybe $95 plus. For your information, the usual sized baskets were $65. It was never conveyed that
the city was unhappy in 2014. Ellen commented that up to 2014, during higher temperatures, the baskets were watered twice daily wherein last year only once.
• GE&B never heard from the city again, not a word. This informal dis-cussion never turned in to a detailed request for addi-tional options as to type of basket, size, content and pricing. Ellen never received a request for bid verbally or by quote form.
• GE&B then heard a rumor that a Sumner busi-ness had the order. Now Ellen is stuck with all those extra flowers and continues to store the city’s baskets.
• Here is the kicker, the Sumner business was given
the order on Feb. 27, days before GE&B received the one and only call from the city.
Thirty-four Enumclaw citizens wrote an email to the mayor expressing their disappointment and dismay as to the events explained above. The may-or’s reply email on April 28th does not coincide with the substantiated facts stat-ed above.
You might say my rela-tionship with Ellen Fant Horton, husband Gary and son Ridge is some-what emotional. We went through school together, our families come from Krain and that is where she chose to open and main-tain her business. It is her
roots and her livelihood. However, from a business standpoint I am dismayed at the mayor’s decision. Here is a well-established business of 50 years which has and continues to pay taxes, support schools, donate generously to chari-table pursuits. Don’t we want to utilize and support those types of businesses within 98022?
Please show GE&B your support now, stop by and wish them a happy 50th and maybe purchase some of those extra flowers they have on hand. Thanks to no fault of their own.

Snohomish Counties and the Maple Valley Black Diamond Chamber of Commerce, shopped and shopped for families from our area. The ASA provid-ed funds for bicycles, toys, books, everything on the “Share the Joy” applica-tion lists. Kevin and Mona Marks, owners of Interstate Batteries distribution cen-ters, also provided funds for
this program. Through our partnership with these giv-ing groups, Greg’s Japanese Auto business jumped in and provided food, toys, gift cards for two more fam-ilies in need. Twenty $20 gift cards were also given to the Center to use for gas vouchers and dairy prod-ucts for parents with chil-dren, in partnership with Cenex in Black Diamond. Thousands of dollars were donated from these groups.
Local resident Craig Goodwin, along with
friends and supporters of his wonderful photography, donated over $1,500 to the center when buying his cal-endars and pictures.
So look up when you are around our center, angels are flying high over us. Way to go angels, we couldn’t do what we do without our angels.
Thank you for your sup-port.

When students in the Enumclaw High School drama department prepared to stage “The Addams Family,” the idea came about to make an excursion to the local cemetery to clean headstones and grave markers. So, on April 14, the EHS crew descended on Evergreen Memorial Park and performed their scrubbing chores until nearly dark. Pictured above are, from left, Sam Bartlett, Nick Barnet and Gracie Evans; at left is Barney Williams.
