Local farms ready to scare up some Halloween fun

By Brian BeckleyStaff Writer

Though it’s all a lot of fun and games, the folks at Maris Farms take their scaring seriously.

“We start in November,” Dale Maris said with a laugh. “This is absolutely a passion for us.”

This year, Maris’s passion for scaring people expands again, with the addition of a new attraction that he said he’s been developing for about a decade.

Along with the traditional corn maze, goat walk, pumpkin cannon and haunted woods, Maris Farms has added a new feature called the “Monster Safari,” which allows patrons on a specially modified school bus to fire paintballs at “zombies” positioned throughout a large section of woods near the back of the farm’s 40-acre property.

Throughout the ride, there are 40 pop-up targets and

The numbers game called the 2013 pre-liminary city budget has been presented to the City Council and now the delibera-tions begin.

The council is tasked with considering and eventually approving a city budget sometime prior to Jan. 1. The prelimi-nary budget is a draft presented by the administration outlining the financial needs and proposed allocations.

The council will be considering the proposed budget over the next weeks and months. The final decision on the purse strings is solely in the hands of the council.

Mayor Liz Reynolds highlighted three issues that were priorities for the admin-istration in the 2013 budget.

• Human Service FundingThe funding of human services like

Plateau outreach, Enumclaw Youth and Family and others were considered by the Human Services Advisory Board, which made recommendations.

Reynolds wrote in an email, “Recognizing human services needs in a down economy are always greater, but the reality of the financial outlook and the realities that revenues are still in jeopardy and limited.”

The mayor said the board was sent, “the level of funding that the council allo-cated in their final adopted budget last year. That amount was $42,000.”

The board made the allocation rec-ommendations which the administration used in the 2013 budget.

• WagesA significant issue for the administra-

Mayor’s 2013 budget focus on services, wages and streets

Spending plan now heads to council for deliberations

an additional 12 live zom-bies roaming the forest.

“You shoot zombies in the woods,” Maris said, adding “You only shoot, nobody shoots back at you.”

Each admission tickets gets a station on the bus and 100 paintballs to fire while in the “destruction zone,” fenced off from the rest of the farm by a huge metal gate, like the one in “Jurassic Park.”

The Monster Safari is one of three “haunts” at the farm, including “The Reaping,” which Maris refers to as “Creeps in the Corn.” The Reaping begins in one of the barns and takes visitors through sev-eral scare stations with “free roaming spooks,” as well as lighting effects and the farms vertigo tunnel.

When you finish there, you can head down to Dark Hollow, or “Freaks in the Forest” where live actors will jump out of the woods to give farm-goers a scare.

And along with the

haunts, Maris is hosting all of its traditional fall farm events, from the giant pumpkin patch to the corn room to, of course, the farm’s 5-acre corn maze, this year themed “Support your local fire depart-ment.”

The farm also sports a mechanical bull - a ride is included in admission - and this year features a zip line for those looking for a high-flying thrill.

There’s also the farm’s raised Goat Walk, a patch of tiny pumpkins, a rope spider web, the new pump-kin tetherball stations, monster truck rides, games and all sorts of fall fun for kids of all ages.

There’s also pig races, with a faux betting win-dow set up to raise money

for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. To date, Maris Farms has donated more than $14,000.

Maris said the goal is bring folks out to the farm for a “uniquely fall event” where families can spend an entire day and there’s fun for children, teens and adults, depending on your fright factor, of course.

“Everything that scares you will be there,” Maris said.

In Enumclaw, those looking for a less spooky, but equally fall-like expe-rience can head over to Thomasson Family Farms for more farm-centric activites,

Thomasson is not a haunted farm and the main attraction at is the five-acre corn maze. Thomasson,

a working dairy farm, is partnered with Darigold this year for the maze theme “It’s farmalicious!”

There’s also a bike track and apple slingshots as well as fresh, hot mini donuts, a room filled with nine tons of corn for the kids to play in and, of course, pump-kins.

“We’ve got a great crop of pumpkins this year,” Cathy Thomasson said proudly.

This is the sixth year Thomasson has hosted a Halloween event.

Meanwhile, in Buckley, the annual Fright Factory is also up and running to give you a good scare with proceeds benefitting the Buckley Communities Activity Center.

All events are open through Halloween.

Halloween fun on the Plateau for boy and ghouls of all ages!

Families in Enumclaw and Buckley will be able to enjoy a safe and fun Halloween downtown this year thanks to the spirited nature of individual merchants and the two chambers of commerce.

Trick-or-treating will take place in both town’s downtown shopping centers from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 31.

Enumclaw’s Cole Street will be closed from Marshall Avenue to Stevenson Avenue, with the exception of Griffin Avenue, which will remain open. In Buckley, Main Street will be closed to traffic to keep everything safe for kids and par-ents.

• Also in Enumclaw, Hope Lutheran Church will present a free Halloween carnival for the com-munity – and, as usual, promises nothing spooky or scary. The carnival runs from 5 to 7:30 p.m. on the 31st.

The event is for preschoolers through elemen-tary school-age children, along with their parents. There will be games, prizes, treats, snacks and candy. There will be a bouncy house for the small-er children and hot coffee for adults.

The church is at 1316 Garfield St., across from Montgomery Park.

• On Sunday, Enumclaw’s Trinity Lutheran Church will offer trunk-or-treating as part of its Harvest Festival. The event, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., will take place in the church parking lot, 1535 Washington Ave.

There will be carnival games, a costume contest, cookie decorating, treats, prizes and more.

Organizers will be collecting nonperishable food items, which will be donated to the Plateau Outreach Ministries food bank.

• For those who enjoy trick-or-treating but worry about dental health, the Molen Orthodontics offic-es will again offer a candy buy-back. Offices in Enumclaw, Sumner and Auburn will participate in the buy-back from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. the day fol-lowing Halloween.

Kids can receive $2 per pound for their candy, with a 10-pound maximum. They can earn an extra dollar by wearing their Halloween costume and a second additional dollar by delivering at lease two canned food items.

tion is the wage gap between union and non-union staff.

The mayor said the union employees, about 72, have received wage adjustments while the non-union staff, about 23, received no cost of living increases.

The proposed budget would add $42,000 for nonunion employees.

“Disparities hinder good morale and reduces dollars in the communi-ty,” Reynolds said in the email. “Forcing employ-ees financially backwards only hurts our community as a whole overall and cer-tainly hurts an organiza-tion.”

• StreetsThe third issue is fund-

ing streets improvements. Reynolds wrote, “I see

streets as a fundamental service of the city being a city. It is what I identify as a core service.”

The administration’s preliminary budget pro-poses allotting $250,000 for street improvements.

“Without funding deci-sions and a street plan implementation this issue

will continue to grow into a more expensive project as long as it continues to not be funded,” Reynolds wrote.

• City CouncilCouncilman Mike Ennis

wrote in an email con-cerning the budget, “It’s easy when you don’t have any money. Tax revenues continue to fall and I think administration has done a decent job at keeping costs in line while maintaining the city’s core services.

Ennis does take excep-tion with a proposed increase in property taxes and he wrote he was “wor-ried and frustrated about the golf course.”

Ennis said he wants the administration to look at “privatizing some of the operations.”

The councilman said as the golf course went to a “completely public opera-tion, the golf course took a dive and now requires its own subsidy. This is unac-ceptable.”

Councilman Kevin Mahelona said in an email, “Based on the parts of the budget I’ve reviewed so far, I feel the majority of it is OK since it is fund-ing existing basic core ser-

vices and I appreciate the administrations continued focus on taking care of the basics.”

Mahelona pointed to some challenges ahead pointing to the cost to the city for the golf course operation and funding the youth center.

He said the council has big decision ahead, “regarding funding for the youth center…. (the youth center contractor) has said they will no longer fund the majority of the expenses ($75,000) for the center…. as they have for the past two years. Their position is it is the city’s youth center and we are responsible for funding it and not them, which is a valid point.”

Mahelona agreed find-ing funding for street repairs will be necessary, “as well as a new utility (surface water manage-ment) which is being mandated by the state Department of Ecology.”

The councilman said another area of concern the council will have to study is the Expo Center profit and loss financials.

“It always comes down to setting priorities,” Mahelona said.

BUDgET FROM 1

I can’t remember exactly when I first smoked pot. Perhaps that’s understand-able because it was some-time during the Sixties – and you know what they say about remembering the Sixties.

At the time, weed was already popular in rebellious high school and college circles and in certain neigh-borhoods. I wouldn’t estimate what percent-age of the populations within these venues used the drug, but it was so common every-

one knew someone who had at least tried it.

Pot was an intrinsic part of the revolutionary air that defined the Sixties; that is, an important component of the antiwar movement,

the racial revolt, the hip-pie phenomenon and the women’s movement. For a brief period, all you had to

do to be “hip” was take a couple of tokes off a joint as it floated by. (In later years, undercover cops infiltrated the scene and, by the time this situation became clear, half my friends had already been arrested.)

During the 1970s, pot slipped into the back-ground and other, more dangerous drugs captured the spotlight; i.e., coke dur-ing the disco fling and, still later, methamphetamine.

But grass was still around. Indeed, its popularity spread, even though people were still being busted for using it.

Finally – and it’s about time – during the past 20 years it has become increas-ingly clear that something has gone terribly awry. Our prisons are hopelessly

overcrowded with people who’ve done nothing more than smoked a joint. The police were first to change their attitude. They sim-ply said to hell with it and quit enforcing most of the pot laws. Thereafter, the laws themselves started to

The third week of October is time to winter-ize the patio furniture and vegetable garden, roll up the hoses and stow away the mower.

Here in western Washington we have some mild winter days that allow lawn rangers to continue to edge and mow but, as the days grow shorter, that lawn goes dormant so one final trim and you have a great excuse to mow no more. Neat and tidy gardeners may want to edge the entire lawn before throwing in the trowel on maintenance. No matter what shape your lawn, creating a crisp edge to define the grass from the planting areas will make the whole yard look well-maintained all winter long.

Q. What do you do about deer con-

trol? I know you live in deer country and I don’t see how you can grow all those plants you write about with deer in your yard! I really want to know your secret. G.H., email

A. Oh deer! It is no secret that I must

share my garden with wild-life. Just this fall a doe and her adorable twin fawns insisted on destroying a plastic netting fence in order to feast on our apples – ripped the fruit right off the trees.

I use a combination of things to try and keep deer damage under control. On roses I use a deer repellent spray called Bobbex that is made from eggs, cloves and garlic oil. I make sure the new growth is sprayed in the spring and fall to teach the deer that my roses have a nasty f lavor. We grow native plants and deer-resistant plant mate-rial along the edges of our two acres, keeping the “deer candy” closer to the house. A motion detec-tor that sprays water and uses noise to hit the deer that permeate this perim-eter has helped to say “not tonight, deer” but the best control for any wildlife is a fence. Feed and farm supply stores sell rolls of webbed plastic deer fenc-ing in a dark color that blends in with the land-

scape and is just about invisible tacked up from tree to tree. This type of fence works well unless you have ripe apples. A strong and sturdy fence at least 7 feet high is the ulti-mate solution to the deer problem, so we are adding more fence lines.

Q. Our rhubarb plants turned yellow and

weak. Never before have they done so poorly. Do you think it is a seasonal prob-lem or should we replace the soil? H., Enumclaw

A. Lot of folks, includ-ing me, had a dis-

appointing year for rhu-barb, but I’ve also heard of gardeners who said this was their best rhubarb year ever. The solution to this mys-tery may never be known

but rhubarb does respond well to a manure mulch in early spring. If your rhubarb plants have been in the ground longer than five years it may be time to dig and divide the thick roots or just toss them out

and start with fresh rhu-barb plants in early spring.

Q. My blueberry plants usually do

well but this year some of the berries turned dry and hard before they ripened. I have heard there is a dis-ease called “mummy berry” infecting blueberries. What should I do to treat my plants? T.R., Olympia

A. Get out the rake and clean under

your infected plants to stop the mummies from unraveling and moving on to other berry bushes. Mummy berry is a fungus among us encouraged by cool, wet springs. Cleaning up around the plants in the fall will help prevent the fungal spores from over-wintering and reinfect-

ing the blueberries in the spring. The long dry spell in late summer was most helpful in controlling the spread of fungal infections. Fungicide sprays have not been shown to be very effec-tive in controlling mummy berry on blueberries so I don‘t recommend spraying the plants.

Q. I have some potted mums I bought at

the grocery store and used on my front porch. They are almost done blooming. Can I plant these into my garden bed and will they come back and bloom next year? P., Longview

A. Yes, most mum plants are perenni-

al and will return year after year if you plant them into loose, fertile soil. But you will have to pinch back the new growth at least twice in the spring and summer if you want to keep mum plants compact and full of blooms. This means cut-ting off the top third of the new growth in May and again in July to force more side-branching and bud-ding on the recycled plants.

Chrysanthemums also need full sun and should never be allowed to dry out, as they wilt quickly. All this mum maintenance is why buying potted mums already in bud is worth the investment. Don’t feel guilty about adding potted plants past their prime to the compost pile. We all need more compost.

Separation of church and state is supported

Note: the following is in response to the Church Corner column printed Oct. 17 (Time to stand up for our Christian nation).

The Treaty of Tripoli (Treaty of Peace and Friendship between the United States of America and the Bey and Subjects of Tripoli of Barbary) was signed at Tripoli on Nov. 4, 1796, and at Algiers (for a third-party wit-ness) on Jan. 3, 1797. It was submit-ted to the Senate by President John Adams, receiving ratification unani-mously from the U.S. Senate on June 7, 1797, and signed by Adams, taking effect as the law of the land on June 10, 1797.

It states in part:“As the Government of the United

States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian reli-gion…”

To add a more modern note:“We establish no religion in this

country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate.” – Ronald Reagan

School director explains opposition to initiative

It is election season. The time and chance we have to impact the direction of our government and our public schools. Wait. Initiative 1240 takes that away from us! And that is just one reason to vote no on I-1240.

I am not opposed to the concept

of charter schools, but this law, at this time, is not the answer. Charters should be cost neutral to local dis-tricts and remain under the author-ity of locally-elected boards, giving taxpayers a real, and ongoing, say in the management of their school tax dollars.

I-1240 will divert money away from public schools – don’t be fooled. Under the complicated fund-ing system, reductions in enrollment directly impact a district’s ability to staff special services like librarians, counselors, health aids, music, P.E. and art specialists. Read your Voter’s Pamphlet, pages 11-18, and find the multiple times the Office of the Attorney General indicates I-1240 “will result in an indeterminate, but not non-zero, fiscal impact to local public school districts.” I-1240 is a

Nobody ever thinks on their wedding day they would someday be filing charges against the person they are sup-posed to love forever.

I stared at the business card being handed to me. In a fog I heard the officer say, “…and here is your file number. We have charges filed against your husband for simple domestic assault.”

Suddenly my world snaps sharply into focus and I can’t stop rambling.

“What? How? Wait. This isn’t happening. What? This isn’t hap-pening to me. This doesn’t happen to people like me. I am college educated. I am too smart for this. I want for nothing. We have two brand new cars and a cute little

house on the lake and a beautiful 3-year-old son who’s brilliant. This just doesn’t happen to people like me.”

With the wisdom of an ancient Magi, the officer gently tells me, “Mrs. May, this isn’t just happening to you. Go home. Do some research on domestic violence. You’ll find this has been happening for a long time. It just got to a whole new level.”

Sitting in my office at home, I take the officer’s advice and begin my research. I sit for hours crying and finally

Yes: 37.5% No: 62.5%

Recently I announced a guest Pacific Lutheran University profes-sor at my church would be discussing Christian ethics and politics during the Adult Forum. I received laughter when I noted those two terms didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Both presidential candidates claim to be Christian, but in the heat of politi-cal battle for the highest office in the land, truth seems to have taken a back seat to winning – or is it to avoid losing?

Reinforcing this perception of mine was an insightful article

called “Blue Truths, Red Truths” in the Oct. 15, 2012, issue of Time magazine. Altman and Rogers, the authors, noted that as early as the 1980s political journalists tended to

remain silent when candidates mis-represented their opponents. They were more interested in the “back-and-forth” rather than in examining whether claims were true or false.

This perspective evolved in the 1990s to the point where fact-check-ing is now part of the political envi-ronment. Unfortunately, both par-ties now use the fact checkers to their own advantage, ignoring times when their own statements are inaccurate.

understand why my marriage is falling apart.

I’ve described this before as feeling like I had been walking around in a dark room where I was constantly bashing into sharp corners and unknown objects and someone finally turned the light on.

The number of domestic violence cases in the U.S. is inaccurate mostly because victims are often too afraid or embar-rassed to report it. In a 2000 report by the CDC, 8,000 women and 8,000 men were interviewed. Twenty-five percent of the women and 7.5 percent of the men reported a form of abuse in an intimate relationship.

Usually when we hear “domestic abuse” we automatically think of physical abuse but most people do not realize there are other forms and they are just as danger-ous. There are several types of domestic abuse but most fall into these four cat-egories:

1. Physical: The use of force against a per-son being abused, injuring them or putting them in harm’s way.

2. Economical: the abuser has complete control over the victim’s money and other economic resources, making them feel trapped.

3. Sexual: The use of force against a per-son to obtain participation in a sexual act.

4. Emotional/psychological/mental: When the abuser uses verbal or nonver-bal tactics to exert power or control over the victim. This is the hardest to detect but is just as serious as physical abuse.

When involved in the abusive rela-tionship, we don’t think of it as abuse: we think of it as just another aspect of the relationship. What most people in abusive relationships don’t realize is that there is a very predicable repeating cycle.

Counselors call it The Abuse Cycle and it has four stages:

1. Tension Building Phase: Tensions increase, there is a breakdown of commu-nication and the victim becomes fearful

and feels the need to do whatever it takes to make the abuser happy.

2. Incident Phase: Anger, blaming, argu-ing, threats and intimidation. Verbal, emo-tional and physical abuses occur at this phase.

3. Reconciliation Phase: Abuser apolo-gizes and gives excuses, blames the victim or denies it occurred, and if the abuser takes responsibility for their actions, they will usually say it wasn’t as bad as the victim claims.

4. Calm or “Honeymoon” Phase: Incident is “forgotten,” both parties are apologetic and very affectionate, feelings are similar to the beginning of the relationship but there’s always an underlying tension.

This cycle of abuse and its phases will repeat itself eternally. However, each time the cycle spins, it will increase in speed and intensity. It will only stop when the victim makes the decision to make it stop or when the victim dies at the hands of the abuser.

The good news is there are ways to prevent this cycle from even starting. In order to do this, you must first recognize the early warning signs of an abusive relationship: intrusion, isolation, posses-sion and jealousy, a need for control, an unknown past, no respect for the opposite sex, threatening with physical violence toward objects and accusations of having affairs.

These are just a few examples of the warning signs of an abusive relationship. Ending the relationship may cause early heartache now but will save you from great-er pain later.

I never thought I would be a statistic for domestic abuse because I thought I was too smart to be one of “those people.” Even though everything on the outside looked perfect, the inside was rotting to the core.

If you see any of these things in your current relationship, regardless if it’s your partner or yourself, have the strength to change it.

costly diversion of tax dol-lars away from already underfunded public schools to set up privately-run schools on public tax dollars – with no local voter accountability and no guarantee of success. It will cost over $3 mil-lion just to establish a new bureaucracy to manage the charter schools! This is simply not a good char-ter law.

The Supreme Court had it right last January when they ruled the state has been ignoring its consti-tutional mandate and underfunding basic edu-cation for decades. In fact, with the exception of 2012 (due to the ruling), pub-lic education has endured continued deep cuts year after year. Many excellent and innovative programs that were reaching all chil-dren, and making a differ-ence, have been reduced or eliminated. I’ll give an example from our district and regarding only one program. Voters approved I-728 in 2002 to provide new funds to schools. The Enumclaw School District chose to use those funds to provide full-day kin-dergarten instruction free to all children, a program that was making a dif-ference. After six years, the Legislature eliminated those funds. As a result, a very effective, critical pro-

gram that was improving education for all children was cut. Shouldn’t this funding be re-instated first to all 295 districts for serving all students?

Some charter schools do show success and we need to explore how to make them work here, but they are not a silver bullet. The most extensive study done by Stanford found only 17 percent did better than public schools. As a mem-ber of the Washington State School Director Association board of directors I’ve witnessed your public schools across the state doing amazingly innovative things when given the resources and flexibility. Let’s first fully fund education for all chil-dren, run by locally-elected boards accountable to the local taxpayers, before we start experimenting with costly and unproven pri-vately-run charter schools for a very few.

Vote “no” on I-1240. For more information, please check out http://people-forourpublicschools.org/

Appreciates changes at local library

I’m so grateful to the mayor, city council and

the Enumclaw citizens who voted to annex our library to the King County Library System.

Our excellent library staff is still with us and the library is now open seven days a week for 63 hours instead of only 36 hours. Five more computers have been installed and more improvements are on the way. This will be a wonder-ful community resource for years to come.

State should give break to senior citizens

Note: the following addresses exemptions for Washington’s senior citi-zens.

A couple is allowed up to $35,000 income. The only deductions are Medicare insurance premiums and out-of-pocket medical costs and prescription drugs.

If you have supplemen-tal medical insurance, it is not deductible. The rate has not changed since the year 2005.

The Legislature’s pay:• 2005, $35,254; 2012,

$42,106; increase of $6,852, 19.4 percent.

• 1987, $15,500; 2012, $42,106; increase of $26,606, 171 percent.

Not bad pay for part-time job.

Low-income seniors must be exempt from inflation.

Welcome back to Buckley Veterinary Hospital ’s monthly pet care column. This month we would like to introduce our newest veterinarian, Dr. Kristen Davignon, as she share her veterinary experienc-es in Africa as part of the International Veterinary Student Association and Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Zimbabwe. Davignon is a Washington native and a graduate of the Washington State University school of vet-erinary medicine. She has special interests in ultra-sound, acupuncture and emergency medicine. This piece is her first-person perspective on her efforts volunteering as a veteri-narian abroad.

By Dr. Kristen Davignon

In August of 2008 I stood in Zimbabwe and watched the first black rhinoceros walk silently out of the bush follow-

ing a ranger. The sun was rising as the 2,500-pound rhino named Gomo peacefully entered the small pen. He was going to be the first of six to be dehorned that day at Imire – “the meeting place” – a 10,000 acre, multi-functional safari, sanctuary and refuge 105 kilometers east of Harare in Zimbabwe.

Like many reserves and conservation parks, Imire has started removing the horns on their rhinoc-eroses to help prevent poachers from killing the endangered species for the $40,000 worth of horn they can sell.

I was a second-year veterinary student and definitely had not been taught how to sedate and remove the horn from a rhino.

T h r o u g h t h e International Veterinary Student Associat ion I was able to set up a summer externship in Zimbabwe working with

a small-animal veterinar-ian, Dr. Alan Park, and a wildlife vet, Dr. Chris Foggin. The first part of my trip was spent in the city of Harare working at a small-animal sur-gery clinic owned by Dr. Park. It was surprisingly similar to most veteri-nary clinics I had volun-teered and worked at in the U.S. The clinic had a surgery suite, radiology (x-rays), and small lab area to run basic blood work. We saw a variety of cases from ear infec-tions and torn toenails, to more region-specific diseases like babesia (a tick borne disease).

After a few weeks in the city I traveled south to Imire to work with Dr. Foggin on the rhinos. The black rhinoceros population, which once numbered in the hun-dreds of thousands rang-ing from Chad to South Africa, had dipped below 2,500 by 2004. The breed was pushed to the brink

of extinction primarily by illegal poaching for their horn. A major mar-ket for rhino horn has historically been in the Arab nations to make ornately carved handles for ceremonial daggers. Additionally, the horn is used in traditional Chinese medicine due to its reputable ability to revive comatose patients, cure fevers and aid male sexual stamina. The effectiveness in treating any illness has not been confirmed by medical science.

Veter i na r ia ns i n Africa began darting and removing the horns annually in an effort to prevent poaching. A pretty straight proce-dure, right? Anything but. If the rhinos are partially tame, they can be corralled like Gomo and darted with a potent opiod sedation from the ground. If they are wild rhinos, they must be darted from a helicopter.

Once sedated, it is a race to roll the rhino onto its belly and measure, mark and remove the two horns. The base of the horn is much like the human finger nail; cut too close and the stump will bleed. Once done, the sedation is quickly reversed. All our rhinos that day were success-fully dehorned and were safe from human hunt-ers for another year until the horns grew back. The trip was an incredible experience.

Four years later, I returned to Zimbabwe as a veterinarian. This time I registered as a vet in the country and worked with Veterinarians for Animal Welfare Zimbabwe. The program worked out of Dr. Parks’ clinic to round up and spay/neuter stray dogs and cats. I also taught at an education-al camp for Zimbabwe students called Rifa in the northern country on the border of Zambia. A group of students come once a week to learn about basic anatomy, local plants, animal behavior and bush life. At the end

of the week we dissected an Impala (African ante-lope). Rifa’s goal is to teach the future genera-tions about conservation, preservation of farm land and beauty of the wild-ness of Africa.

While Africa is home to strange animals, diverse cultures and numerous wars, they share more similarities with me and the rest of the world beyond what I had antic-ipated. Zimbabweans have compassion for ani-mals, the drive to protect nature and a desire to safeguard the very land that makes its country unique.

Buckley Veterinary Hospital welcomed Dr. Davignon into its medi-cal family in August, just prior to her taking the second trip to Africa in September. She has returned full-time, along-side Dr. Wood and Dr. Libra.

Enumclaw Rotary selects Students of the Month

Eighth-grade math students at Glacier Middle School in Buckley rocked this spring’s state End of Course test in algebra – each of the 103 students who took the test scored at standard or above.

District Curriculum and Assessment Director Mike Jacobsen beams when he points it out on his multi-colored test score chart.

The first year GMS offered algebra to 110 students, in 2011, the score was 88.5 percent.

Former Glacier Middle School teacher Teri Fleming said math has been an area of focus for the past

five years at White River where the administration provides regular pro-fessional days for math teachers to work on aligning curriculum to stan-dards, plan engaging units and create common assessments.

“More than that though, I care about the learning of each of my stu-dents and they knew that although my expectations were high I expected more of myself to make lessons engag-ing and real to them,” Fleming said. “They also knew that I would support their learning however I needed to with extra time and work to expose them to the material that would make them successful, not just in algebra but moving forward.”

Fleming said she set up support sys-tems for students that worked around their sports schedules and their home lives so they could get extra help.

“Basically being there for them and getting them to believe in themselves,”

she said.“More kids are learning more

because of the dedicated White River staff like Teri Fleming,” White River Superintendent Janel Keating said. “The new textbook adoptions and intentional training enhance the work our teachers are doing daily in the classroom with our kids. I’m proud of their efforts.

“I often ask the principals this ques-tion, is this good enough for your own child? My child is one of the students in the 103 out of 103 that passed the Algebra EOC,” Keating said. “There no longer is a secret of what we need to do. The concepts and practices that were in place instructionally in Teri Fleming’s classroom work with kids.”

At each grade level, at every school, White River students are posting sim-ilar levels of success on the state’s High

Cedar River Academy has adopt-ed Washington’s new Mathematics and English Language Arts Common Core Standards for the 2012-13 academic year. These nationally-defined standards aug-ment the Enumclaw school’s standards for science, foreign language, the arts, social studies, citizenship and health and physi-cal education.

Educational standards help teachers ensure their students have the skills and knowledge they need to be successful by providing clear goals for student learning.

The Common Core State Standards are authored by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, said Kristin McSwan, Cedar River Academy head of school.

“These standards are intended to make it clear to every student, parent, and teacher what defines success in school,” she said. “We like these new definitions because they are more focused on encouraging higher-level thinking than the historical state standards which, we believe, are more focused on memorization.”

The Common Core State Standards pro-vide a consistent, clear understanding of

what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, ref lecting the knowledge and skills young people need for success in col-lege and careers.

While a number of Washington State public schools have defined pilot projects to evaluate the Common Core Standards, Cedar River Academy is one of the first schools in the state to completely adopt them.

“Cedar River Academy made the deci-sion to adopt these new standards to ensure that all students are prepared for success in postsecondary education and the work-force,” said Roger Franklin, Cedar River Academy CEO. “The goal for deploying the nationally-recognized learning stan-dards is to ensure our students are receiv-ing a high quality education. Standards do not tell teachers how to teach, but they do help teachers figure out the knowledge and skills their students should have. Teachers can then teachers can create the best les-sons and environments for their students. Standards also help students and parents by setting clear and realistic goals for success.”

English-language arts and mathemat-ics were the first subjects chosen for the Common Core State Standards because these two subjects are skills, upon which students build skill sets in other subject areas. They are also the subjects most frequently assessed for accountability pur-poses.

Cedar River Academy is a nonsec-tarian, private elementary and mid-dle school. For information visit www.CedarRiverAcademy.com.

Cedar River adopts new standards By Demi Anderson

Enumclaw Middle School student

At my school we have been learning about being kind and becoming a leader, after a long time of trying to teach this, Karl Karkainen a teacher at my school, made a whole class for leadership. In my leadership class we are learning responsibility, respect, self discipline, compassion, etc. My favorite part of this class is our blog, where every week we look at what we have learned and what we think is the most important, and how we will apply it to our future. I think the most important lessons of this whole month would be judging and having responsibility we don’t want.

The reason I think judging was the most important in my class, is because people in society today don’t understand that it is OK to be different and that we should support everyone for who they are and respect their choices, and I do believe that it is a responsibility of being a leader. Just think if nobody judged so badly (including me) then we would be kind and understand people instead of jumping to our first conclusion about people. That’s why I think this is very important to learn in a leadership class. Plus it could help all of us be a more nice and understandable, smart leader.

Another very important thing I have learned in my leadership class is having responsibilities we don’t want.” Sometimes people have to do things they really don’t want to or they see things they don’t want to, but we have to remember to do the best we can until it’s over. I know it might not be fair, but you’re not the only person who goes though it. Something that cheers me up is “it could always suck more” which is so true.

I would like to say I am happy to get a leadership class that teaches me this stuff because if I’m not learning this in school then were am I going learn it? I don’t mean like common knowledge, I mean actual leadership and better looks on things. If every school had this, I bet there would be a lot of strong, confi-dent students…it worked for my school.

Demi Anderson is an eighth-grade student at Enumclaw Middle School.

Ross earns Commended status in Merit program

Enumclaw High’s Lindsay Ross has been named a Commended Student in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program.

A Letter of Commendation from EHS and National Merit Scholarship Corporation, which conducts the program, will be presented to Ross by Principal Jill Burnes.

About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2013 competi-tion for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2013 competition by tak-ing the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.

SUCCESS FROM 9

School Proficiency Exam and Measurement of Student Progress. That’s a far cry from when state assessments began.

Improvements are part of

strategic plan“It’s a change in the cur-

riculum and a change in the belief system,” said Jacobsen, who presented the information at the White River School Board’s September regular meet-ing.

Mired in “we-can’t-accomplish-that” attitudes with excuses a mile long just a few years ago, district leaders and teachers decid-ed enough was enough and started digging in with programs like Professional Learning Communities to help teachers and Response to Intervention for stu-dents.

“Now they don’t think that way,” Jacobsen said of the school district popula-tion. “We have data that says we can make a differ-ence. ‘Yes we can!’ It’s sort of a relevant phrase these days.”

Math teacher Fleming said the success stories keep

multiplying.“Some of the best ones

are from my students that skipped from regular sev-enth-grade math to alge-bra – basically missing eighth-grade pre-algebra,” she said. “With their extra efforts at lunch time, after school and before school they found great success not only in class but also on the End of Course exam.”

One particular nervous student voiced her concerns and anxiety at the begin-ning of the year.

“It was great for me to touch base with her and actually use that anxiety to bolster her confidence and allow her to see that she could be strong in algebra, problem solving and reasoning,” Fleming said. “She passed both the state eighth-grade math test and the EOC with f ly-ing colors.

“I had a student that transferred in midyear and had many gaps in his alge-bra content to that point,” she continued. “He asked fantastic questions, worked in small groups and indi-vidually with me to catch and surpassed his expec-tations by passing both tests.”

“Our growth has been

amazing,” Jacobsen said.In 1997, the first year for

the Washington Assessment of Student Learning, dis-trict math scores for fourth grade were 15.9 percent. This spring that number was 74.

That same year, 52 per-cent of students were at standard; today it’s 74.

In 1999, 49.4 percent of 10th-grade students at White River High School were reading at standard. In 2012, that number is 86.6.

Thanks in part to a new curriculum and some hands-on classroom instructional aides, science test scores have zoomed from a district low of 21.1 percent in 2003 to 74.8 this spring.

Fifth-grade science scores have jumped from 39.9 in 2012 to 76.3 this year.

Science test scores at White River High hovered around 21 percent when Jacobsen arrived in 2003. By 2010 they had increased to 44.2 percent. White River students scored 75.6 on the End of Course biology test this spring.

White River is one of 11 school districts in the state singled out for par-ticipation in Response to Intervention, a multi-level

prevention system sup-ported, in part, through a grant.

Jacobsen doesn’t hold back when he says RTI is intense.

The program starts with screening for students who are not making bench-marks, in this case, three times a year for students in grades K-8, but White River also has implemented the program at the high school.

In addition to continued core instruction, RTI calls for intense intervention, typically in small groups, monitoring progress, in most cases weekly, and analyzing data, usually with other teachers who share the same student. There is also a piece for students who are over-achieving.

“You need commit-ted staff, strong building leadership, time and a mindset that we’re going to do everything we can to increase this kid’s skills and bring them to level,” Jacobsen said.District not content with progress, the

work continuesThe success has been

encouraging but the work continues.

A new social studies cur-

riculum hit sixth through 12th grade this fall. It’s part of the district’s move to tie technology and learning together to increase rigor.

Online textbooks keep content fresh and students engaged. The social studies curriculum introduced is web-based with each class-room outfitted with laptop computers that access the text and online research, as well as aid in reading and writing.

A similar program is in

place for math.And, Jacobsen said,

although the district is cel-ebrating, there’s room to improve, especially at the middle school level.

“It gives us feedback about the work we’re doing and encourages us to keep doing it,” Jacobsen said of this year’s round of test scores. “We don’t plan to change anything. We may need to tweak what we have to be effective all the time, for every kid.”

After having kissed his wife of almost 50 years and told her how much he loved her, Peter Michael Hart-ford made a spaghetti dinner and then abruptly died in the kitchen of his home on the afternoon of Septem-ber 26, two days before his 71st birthday. Remembered by all and loved by so many, Peter left an indelible

mark in this world andthe stories of his life will be recounted for many years. His grandchildren’s favorite story about grandpa wasabout his annual � reworks show. Donning a hard hat with “Exploso-man” written across the front, Peter outdid himself with the grand � nale, which always needed to best the previous years performance. He literally stole the audience breath away by setting off several sticks of dynamite, which also knocked everyone off their feet and blew out windows in a nearby building. Two National Forest Rangers visited the next day to congratulate him on his absolute last � reworks show. Though many of his favorite stories we will share will have us laughing about Peter’s excessiveness, impulsiveness, and irreverent humor, those of us that knew him best, his family, will miss most his incredibly loving and generous heart. Peter is survived by his loving wife Phyllis, two sons, Tyler and Ryan, 5 granddaughters and one grandson. As his 8 year old grandson said upon hearing of his pass-ing, “I never knew it was possible to be so sad!” He will be sorely missed.

Enumclaw High swim-mers proved their domi-nance Saturday, taking first-place honors at the South Puget Sound League championships.

Saturday’s meet was contested at the Auburn High pool

Contributing to the win-ning EHS performance were some top finishes by individual Hornets and

the 200 medley relay crew.Enumclaw’s Bella

Davenport and Katie Larrea placed second and third, respectively, in the 100 breaststroke, and both now advance to the district championships, slated for Nov. 2-3 at Hazen High in Renton. Davenport’s clocking of 1 minute, 10.8 seconds qualified her for the state meet, the third time this season she has posted a state-qualifying

time.The Hornets’ 200 med-

ley relay team took first at the league championships while also posting a state-qualifying time. The squad consists of Bailey Sexton, backstroke; Davenport, breaststroke; Hannah Simurdak, butterfly; and Larrea, freestyle.

The state meet will take place Nov. 9-10 at the King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way.

Friday night brought nightmarish results for the Enumclaw and White River football teams, which lost games by a combined 75 points.

The Enumclaw squad knew it would be in for a tough time, going up against the powerful Peninsula Seahawks in a South Puget Sound League 3A contest. Peninsula, gun-ning for a league title, dom-inated from the beginning en route to a 51-0 victory.

Playing on their home turf in Purdy, the Seahawks

jumped on top with 16 points in the first quarter, then blew things open with a four-touchdown explo-sion in the second period. Things were ratcheted down from that point, with only a single TD scored during the second half.

The loss – Enumclaw’s fifth in a row – dropped EHS to 0-4 in SPSL 3A play and 2-6 overall. The Hornets wrap up the reg-ular season Friday night with a home game against Decatur High. The Gators, like Enumclaw, are 2-6 on the season.

It was a different story for White River, which fought

for three quarters before falling 38-14 at Steila-coom.

The Hornets posted a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to grab a 14-12 lead heading into halftime. Scores came first on a TD pass from Zach McMillen to Hunter Hendricks, fol-lowed by a short McMillen run. Dustin France tacked on the extra-point kicks.

The second half brought misery for the White River crew, as the Sentinels used a series of big plays to coast to the SPSL 2A win. Steilacoom opened with a long kickoff return for a TD, then scored on run-

ning plays from 33, 42 and 70 yards.

Things only get tougher for White River, which con-

cludes the regular season Friday night by hosting Sumner High. The Spartans currently sit at 5-1 in league

play and can secure a cham-pionship with a victory.

White River is 3-5 overall and 2-4 in SPSL 2A play.

Highlights for the EHS boys were turned in by Alec Rhome, sixth overall with a time of 16 minutes, 56.6 seconds. Chase Olson finished 10th at 17:14.7 and Dylan Hamel was 15th at 17:23.

The EHS girls were led by Aleea

Gwerder, who wound up fourth with a time of 19:58.3. Hannah Calvert was sixth at 20:06.8, Abby Callison was eighth at 20:42.4 and Lindsay Ross was 10th at 20:48.2.

White River runners competed in Saturday’s Class 2A races at Fort Steilacoom.

Leading the way for the White River

boys were Chris Fisher, third, 16:20.3; Wes Fueston, sixth, 16:48; and Brandon Scheer, 12th, 17:12.2.

The top three for the WR girls were Madison Moser, 20:17.5; Maddi Stinson, 22:06.9; and Kacy Coyle, 22:15.6.

article: “The great irony in this curious chapter (the 2012 election) in American politics is that both cam-paigns have made telling the truth a central mes-sage and a core qualifica-tion in each man’s case to be President.”

Part of the blame for the increasing untruths of our political candidates is that, as our society has become more fractured, some voters “have devel-oped a tendency to forgive the home team’s fibs.” In fact, 76 percent of both Romney and Obama sup-porters believe the other side is “intentionally mis-leading” voters.

Paradoxically, based

upon a study at Georgia State University noted in the article, “The more we care about politics and the more it becomes central to our worldview, the more threatening it becomes to admit we are wrong or our side is wrong.” The study went on to note that the more voters knew, the more biased they were.

Another study cited in the article observed that emotions play a big part: The more fearful and insecure voters are, for instance, “the more dif-ficult it is for them to accept accurate infor-mation.” In the study, having research subjects write about a time when they stood up for a value that was important to them made them more self-confident and more

open to information that challenged their political biases. It seems the more secure we are, the more we can hear the truth.

The authors ended the article with, “Until the voting public demands something else, not just from the politicians they oppose but also from the ones they support, there is little reason to suspect that (lying) will change.”

These words gave me pause to consider. Why do politicians, not just at the presidential level but also at all levels, distort the truth? The simple answer lies in the fact that the desire to win overwhelms a candidate’s ethical views. Their thought is probably that they can’t bring about the necessary changes in government and society if

they don’t get elected.Since voters often more

readily remember and believe bad things about candidates than good things, the only way poli-ticians can win is to throw ethics aside and misrep-resent the facts – the ends justify the means. In other words, do evil so that good will result. That’s one explanation.

President Obama offered another perspective in his book “Audacity of Hope,” written before he won in 2008. He stated that for politicians, winning an election is not as impor-tant as not losing. Fear of being seen as a failure is a stronger motivator than the desire to be successful for politicians.

Whatever the cause, Christian ethics and pol-itics do not have to be mutually exclusive words. If voters are more secure in their beliefs as the above study demonstrated, we can bear to see the weak-nesses and misrepresenta-tions of our favorite can-didates and not let them get away with the philoso-phy of the ends justify-ing the means. Change in the way politics is run in this nation lies within the power of us, the voters, only if we become more secure and open to the truth.

YES on 1240 Will Give More Washington

Students A Chance To SucceedInitiative 1240 will allow up to 40 public charter schools in Washington state over the next five years. Charter schools are public schools that are free and open to all students, with the same teacher certification requirements and academic standards as traditional public schools, and funded based on

student enrollment just like other public schools. However, charter schools allow teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of students, which is especially important for students who are not succeeding in traditional schools. Please join us in voting YES on 1240.

“Public charter schools across the country have a proven track record of helping students succeed, especially those at risk of falling through the cracks. Initiative 1240 brings the best of what works in other states to Washington.“

Dr. Sam SmithFormer PresidentWashington State University

“As a public school teacher, I’m a strong believer in public education. That’s why I support a YES vote on 1240, to allow public charter schools in Washington. Charter schools give teachers and principals more flexibility to meet the needs of our students… and more options to help them succeed.”

Chris EidePublic School Teacher andCo-Founder, Teachers United

“I’ve studied public charter schools across the country, and I support a YES vote on 1240. Initiative 1240 is a well-written law that requires strict accountability and annual performance reviews. And 1240 ensures that public funding stays with public schools– following students just as it does now.”

Professor Paul T. Hill, Ph.D.University of WashingtonFounder, Center on ReinventingPublic Education

“As a proud graduate of Tacoma Public Schools, an advocate for public education and an elected official who cares deeply about our city and state’s future, I urge you to join me and cast your vote for Initiative 1240.”

change; for example, in Seattle, the possession of an ounce of grass was reduced from a felony to a misde-meanor and the cops even refused to enforce that. Then too, University of Washington medical facili-ties confirmed that mari-juana had legitimate heal-ing properties, particularly in treating glaucoma and relieving the pain of can-cer patients. Thereafter, regional medical pot facili-ties popped up here and there; first, as you might suspect, in the U-district, where patients could buy weed if they had a medical prescription. Exactly who could issue these prescrip-tions was never clear in my mind and still isn’t.

The other day I stopped by one of the alternative medical centers in our region. I asked the girl in the window if I needed a doctor’s prescription to get in. She rattled on for two or three minutes, until I inter-rupted and said I didn’t understand. She smiled and closed the window. I stood there for perhaps 30 seconds and eventually I simply walked onto the grounds. The place was a spacious, pretty, garden-like park, which may have been a pot farm, though I didn’t confirm this. There were a number of picnic tables and benches and a clear-plastic canopy beneath which a number of people were selling bongs, joints and loose cannabis of various weights and grad-ed intensities. Joints were passed around and one fel-low took a healthy huff on a large, sample bong

Anyway, the last statis-tics I saw indicated that roughly half the U. S. pop-ulation between 18 and 60 years of age has tried pot at least once. It had become so commonplace there’s a measure on this year’s state ballot that would make using it completely legal for anyone at least 21 years of age. If this passes – and current polls suggest it’s favored by a small margin – our new law would stand in sharp contrast to fed-eral law. The consequences of this disjunction aren’t known, but there would certainly be court chal-lenges. However, I sincerely doubt that Obama would initiate any action against it because, back in the day, he fooled around with pot for a number of years. And he inhaled.

Our president is an ex-pot smoker. That’s reason enough to vote for him.
