Cat’s Not in Cradle

By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

A pair of recommen-dations were favorably received – by the slim-mest of margins – during the most recent meeting of the Enumclaw City Council.

By 3-2 votes, a short-handed council f irst directed city administra-tion to look at a zoning change

that would benefit assisted living facilities; later, a trio of “yes” votes supported formation of a committee that would promote specif ic, targeted economic development.

The votes came during the March 23 session of the coun-cil, following recommenda-

tions made by the council ’s Community/Economic Development Committee.

The talk of assisted liv-ing facilities was sparked by a proposal that has been f loated to build a multi-million dol-lar facility on the city’s

After a tumultuous few months of failed lev-ies and slashed budgets,

a shift in the winds may be coming for East Pierce Fire and Rescue constituents.

“I have some good news for you tonight,” said Fire Chief Jerry Thorson, who presented at the Bonney Lake City Council meet-ing March 24. “Every fire district in the state of Washington is rated by the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and the insur-ance industry uses that to set your fire insurance rates…. I’m

happy to say in all but two of our jurisdictions, we improved and have a lower rating number now.”

Thorson said the improved rat-ing may mean lower insurance rates for people covered by East Pierce.

The Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau rates communities in four categories; water supply, the fire department, emergency communications and fire safety control, according to Thorson.

The Bureau rates communities every five to 10 years.

After 82 years, the Pierce County Daffodil Festival crowned it’s first Daffodil Festival queen from Bonney Lake High School.

Senior Ashley Becker was crowned the 79th Daffodil Festival queen Saturday at the Pantages Theater in Tacoma.

She was among 24 Daffodil prin-cesses selected to represent their schools and communities in the festival.

Executive director of the Daffodil Festival, Steve James, said after exit interviews with the judges, he felt all of the Daffodil princesses

this year were exceptional. “When you’re judging 24 high-

ly qualified young ladies, it’s not easy,” said James. “You’re splitting hairs.”

James said the queen and the royal court will have an extremely busy two weeks ahead of them, as Becker and the other princesses plan to make about 250 appear-ances this year, including the parade f loat unveiling at 4 p.m. on April 4 at the Old Cannery in Sumner.

Becker said she is still a little in shock over being crowed the queen this year.

“I’m so honored to represent my community, my school and my family,” she said.

Becker said she was involved in the Associated Student Body since seventh grade, and recently ran for student body president.

Although she wasn’t elected, Becker searched for another way to become involved in her communi-ty, which was when she decided to be a part of the Daffodil Festival.

After high school, Becker plans to attend college to study nursing, and possibly become an anesthesi-ologist.

south side. The area is zoned R-4 which allows for high-density devel-opment, so assisted liv-ing qualifies to a certain extent.

The motion, offered by Darrel Dickson, stipulat-ed that the R-4 density be bumped from 30 units per acre to 60. The motion also would allow build-ings up to 55 feet, instead of the present 30 feet.

“Our community has a need for assisted liv-ing,” Dickson said. “This is a way to encourage that type of development.”

The motion passed with supporting votes from Dickson, Juanita Carstens and Chance LaFleur. Opposing the proposal were Hoke Overland and Jim Hogan.

Overland noted his support for the property being discussed, but won-

dered what the proposed legislation could have on other R-4 areas in the city.

A second recommen-dation from the CED Committee directed city administration to appoint a committee that would specifically look at pro-moting “food, beverage and agriculture” efforts within the city.

Overland, a CED Committee member, said things like restaurants and breweries “bring all kinds of tourist dollars” to a community. An ad hoc committee, he said, could go so far as recruit-

ing businesses to town.The proposal passed

with support from Dickson, Carstens and Overland.

Also during the March 23 session, council mem-bers heard a report from Doug Osterman, King County’s watershed coor-dinator.

Enumclaw is among 17 jurisdictions that band-ed together 10 years ago to protect the Green/Duwamish/Central Puget Sound watershed. The political entities make up the regional Water Resource Inventory Area, one of 64 such areas in the state.

The agreement between governmental partners expires at the close of 2015 and Osterman expressed his hope that Enumclaw would sign on for another decade.

“We’ve done a lot of real-ly good work in your neck of the woods,” Osterman

told the Enumclaw coun-cil, noting there has been more than $137 million spent on capital improve-ments, all in the name of improving habitat for endangered fish, specifi-cally Chinook salmon.

Projects undertaken have included work on levees, primarily in Kent and Auburn; f loodplain protection; restoration of waterways; and removal of invasive weeds and the

replanting of native veg-etation.

In the immediate area, Osterman said, has been the Big Spring Creek proj-ect. The city of Enumclaw was involved in the pur-chase of land, one step in a project aimed at restor-ing the creek to its his-toric channel and, in the process, improving drain-age throughout the area.

Osterman admitted the project spurred protests

by some property owners in the area.

In terms of regional importance, Osterman said, creation of a fish passage at Howard Hanson Dam – north-east of Enumclaw – is seen as integral to salm-on protection. The only project more significant, Osterman said, was the removal of a dam on the Elwah River on the Olympic Peninsula.

Enumclaw High junior Quinn Breidenbach hit another homer at the opening of the 2015 fastpitch

season by verbally committing to play at the University of Massachusetts.

She will sign a formal, national letter-of-intent during her senior year.

Breidenbach said she considered both the academic and athletic programs at UMass before committing to the East Coast univer-sity.

“I wanted the full college experi-ence,” Breidenbach said. “(University of Massachusetts) balances academics and ath-

letics…. The softball program is family ori-ented and it’s a D1 school.”

Her plan is to study kinesiology.“It’s nice to have everything planned out,” she

said. “Sometimes I wish it would come faster and sometimes slower.”

Growing up in Enumclaw, the Hornet fast-pitch star said she wanted to go someplace different.

Breidenbach said the decision, “shocked my parents. But my dad is a pilot and it’s easy for them to come back and visit. I love them to death.”

She led the Hornets to the 2014 Class 3A state championship game, where the team placed sec-ond after losing to Kamiakin from Kennewick. It was the Hornets’ only loss of the season. The girls were both South Puget Sound League 3A and West Central District champions.

This season Breidenbach is driven by one thing – that single loss in the state championship game. Her goal is to return – and win.

“Now it’s revenge,” Breidenbach said. “After coming so close, I want to win so bad. I’m really, really competitive.”

She said the 2015 fastpitch team works very well together and, “the core group is still there.”

Breidenbach said she spent the offseason, “working on my spin and perfecting my drop ball.” Her offseason diligence has paid dividends early.

“I’m really pumped for the season,” Breidenbach said.

It shows.

A majority of high school athletes started playing their sport of choice before they could walk.

And the same is true for Sumner senior Jamie Lange.

Lange is a two sport threat for the Spartans and has been playing soccer since she was 4 and basketball since she was 7 years old.

What hooks student athletes and makes them want to play at such a young age?

Well, for Lange she said she grew up watching her older sister play sports and she “wanted to be just like her.”

Lange’s athletic career won’t end when she walks across the stage in June.

In February, along with five of her Sumner soccer teammates, Lange announced she signed her letter of intent to play collegiate soccer for the University of Puget Sound.

She said after visiting the campus in Tacoma, she “fell in love.”

She added, the soccer coaches helped seal the deal.

“I could not imagine playing for four more years for anybody else,” she said. “Not only do they want good soccer play-

ers but they also seek out and recruit good humans, which creates an unbelievable team chemistry.”

Sumner athletic director Jeff Baines would agree that Lange is also a good human.

“She has a huge heart and cares about her teammates, her school and the stu-dents of Sumner High School,” he said. “Jamie is one of those rare student athletes

Despite her snow-capped peak and glacier-encrusted shoulders, Mount Rainier is no ice maiden to be wor-shipped only from afar.

She should be treated as local royalty, with awe and admiration, but with a cer-tain familiarity. The moun-tain begs for her loyal sub-jects to reach out and touch, to explore, to get to know her on a personal level.

The best way to become intimately acquainted with Mount Rainier is, of course, by getting off the sofa, pulling on a pair of hiking boots and putting the treads to a few miles of trail. But it’s a mighty big mountain and few are up to a Wonderland Trail type of experience, spending days in back-country camps while getting to know the best Rainier has to offer, sometimes on a cold-and-wet, hands-and-knees level.

So, option No. 2 might involving piling into the family auto and setting off on a personal Journey of Discovery. It might not be on par with the origi-nal Journey of Discovery (Lewis and Clark, remem-ber?) but it still satisfies.

From Enumclaw, the

favored loop will take about 150 miles. Those who expe-rience the mountain from a car window, without stopping – as if that’s pos-sible – will spend about five hours completing the cir-cuit. Those who know how to enjoy the best Mother Nature has to offer will spend at least a full day – perhaps a couple of days if overnight camping is part of the itinerary.

The following route, it should be noted, is largely impacted by the weather. This year’s winter weather – meaning precious little winter – has pushed some traditional opening a bit earlier on the calendar. For example, it appears both Chinook and Cayuse passes could be open this weekend, giving round-the-mountain access.

So here’s the rundown, when perfect conditions apply.

From our corner of the world, the road around Rainier begins in Enumclaw, the largest of the gateway communities, where dining opportunities are varied, gas is plentiful and grocery stores stock more than enough provi-sions for a mountain out-ing.

Here are some stops

integral to a true Mount Rainier outing.

• Federation Forest State Park

This 619-acre state park is a testament to the for-ward thinking of a group of women who, in the 1940s, decided it was important to preserve old-growth timber during the rush towards logging. Located along the picturesque White River, explore mature forests of Douglas fir, Western Hemlock, Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar. Hike on the 12 miles of trails or take the family on one of three interpretive paths; ideal for small children. This is a bird lover’s delight. Tour the interpretive cen-ter offering a gift shop and enjoy lunch at one of the four day-use picnic areas.

Page 6: Enumclaw Courier-Herald, April 01, 2015

President Barack Obama spoke in Cleveland two weeks ago and mentioned his support of mandatory (or compulsory) voting in the United States.

The president said it would “completely transform the political map in this country,” and argued manda-tory voting would help remove big money from politics, encourage the young, working class and disenfranchised

citizens to vote and increase vot-ing turnout num-bers.

Many news sources reported 57.5 percent of the American public voted in the 2012 presidential elec-

tion. That’s not such a bad number - at least the majority of registered voters showed up at the polls.

The number dips to an abysmal 37 percent for the 2014 midterm elections. Although midterm elections don’t have the same turnout as presidential elections, it still means a little more than one-third of registered took control of the governmental wheel, so to speak.

In contrast to the low voter turnout in the US, Australia constantly boasts high voter turnouts. The Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance reported Australia had a registered voter turnout between 93 and 95 percent since 1946.

However, between 78 and 91 percent of the voting age population historically shows up at the polls, so the vot-ing turnout numbers are often debated.

Still, anywhere between 78 and 95 percent of voters at the polls is a great win for democracy, and the high par-ticipation numbers are most likely caused by Australia’s mandatory voting system, which fines unregistered vot-ers and citizens who don’t vote about $20.

Admittedly, Australia is one of a minority of 23 coun-tries with mandatory voting laws, and only one of 10 which enforces those laws, according to the BBC.

Other counties that have mandatory voting laws include Costa Rica, Egypt, Lebanon, Argentina and Belgium.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume a supermajority of Americans would rather take the pains to vote than get fined $20, and voting numbers would stretch into 80 percent range for all elections.

Also for the sake of argument, ballots include a “none of the above” option, so voters who truly have no opinion have a voice and can bypass the fine.

The question now is, is it healthy for a democracy to have mandatory voting laws? After all, it is a bit of a paradox – democratic philosophy relies on the freedom

In China’s Shanxi province, 15,450 govern-ment officials were removed from office on corrup-tion charges in 2014, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua. This included seven top lead-ers according to a March 24, 2015, “Stratfor” article entitled, “China’s Anti-corruption Drive Runs Deep.”

These removals of public officials could be the beginning of a purge by Chinese President Xi Jinping to not only root out endemic corruption in the Chinese government, but it is also a purge of Communist Party

members in China. Xi knows those who have benefited from the past 30 years of Deng Xiao Ping’s reforms will resist the neces-sary changes China has to make to its economy.

China has grown an average of more than 10 percent a year during the past 30 years. The way it did so was to become a cheap-labor country that mainly exported its products to the rest of the world. As a result of this approach, China has emerged as the No. 2 economic power. But its success is also its undoing. As the standard of living has risen, so have

expectations of a better lifestyle for its workers. Wages have risen and China is no longer a cheap-labor country.

Europe and North America have had economic difficulties since the Great Recession beginning in 2008, which hurt China’s export economy and is forcing a new direction.

China must change the model cre-ated by Deng Xiao Ping. Xi Jinping must make the difficult transition to a new economic model where the Chinese start consuming their own products rather than continuing as an export giant.

According to the “Stratfor” arti-cle, part of the reason for China’s

The right to vote should require more than just being able to breathe

This is in response to the letter (March 18) by Alexes Shuman about,

“State has made it easy for all to cast ballot” to register and vote.

That’s part of the problem we have today – people voting that have never read the Constitution and voting for politicians that don’t uphold their oath of office.

There should be a test to pass showing you have some knowledge of the Constitution. To become a

U.S. citizen you must have a gener-al knowledge of the fundamentals of U.S. history and government. The Constitution is the rule book on how government should func-tion.

Just being able to breathe shouldn’t be the only requirement to vote.

There is an upcoming bond in April which will restore Enumclaw High School with a new gym and related facilities, a new audito-rium and new classrooms, and it will also replace Black Diamond Elementary, a school with 40 per-cent of its students in portables.

Do we need this? Let’s take a look back in time.

In 1960, students attending EHS were bustling about the hallways, trying to make the best they could of trying circumstanc-es. With activity options on the rise, clubs, sports, theater productions, dances and academic studies shared space. Students overlapped time and otherwise crammed their passions into whatever corners were

able and available. The time had come to create a facility to better meet the widening interests of the student body.

After a successful bond pas-sage, in 1961 EHS moved into the current facility at 226 Semanski. Student life truly flourished in the new environment created by

a community that cared for its students. Room to move and room to grow defined the newly-energized life at EHS.

In 2015, students attending EHS are busier than ever with a multitude of oppor-tunities well beyond the imagination of the 1961 building plan. In particular, the ath-letic facilities at EHS are a glaring example of the struggle with space and time. Over the last 50 years our schools have offered significantly more boys sports programs

and in 1972 Title IX mandated female students be granted the athletic oppor-tunities males enjoyed. Girls sanctioned sports were introduced and the facilities created in 1961 did not contemplate this new demand.

Now, much like the conditions of 1960, there is restricted space and crammed quarters causing safety issues and limiting the passions of the student body. Our kids deserve better. As one example, multiple levels of boys and girls basketball teams, two wrestling squads, cheer, dance, Special Olympics, judo and gymnastics gathered in substandard space at all hours of the day and into the night for practice and events.

Space is semi-private at best and dis-tractions and interruptions are common-place. Subsequently, the objectives of these groups face unfortunate compromises. Shower rooms, locker rooms and storage rooms are divided and subdivided. Gym space is minimal.

As a member of an athletic league and a WIAA district, Enumclaw is unable to

host postseason tournaments because facilities do not meet the minimum stan-dards required. How does that impact the spirit of our sports teams? Concerns over gym entry and exit, movement of fans, concessions, seating arrangements, f loor space and locker rooms quickly dismiss Enumclaw as a viable site. The newer venues of our member schools take up the responsibilities as tournament host, sport after sport, season after season. Why can’t we host championship games in our hometown? We should and must have facilities honoring our students and their right to flourish.

In 2015, we can offer Enumclaw High School and our community the same desired relief granted in 1961. Our students can again find that much needed room to move and room to grow. Now is the time. Please vote “yes.” Go Hornets!

increased militancy with its neighbors has been to focus attention of the Chinese citizenry away from its internal problems and outward against Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines and Vietnam, and by exten-sion, the United States.

All of these countries are feeling the threat and are looking to the U.S. to pivot toward Asia to help these island nations pro-tect their security against China’s rise. President Obama is trying to accom-plish this pivot, but press-ing crises in the Middle East and in Ukraine are hindering him.

Meanwhile, Xi is facing

the problem that when he purges the nation of cor-rupt government officials, he is also decreasing the ability of government to function efficiently. While corrupt, those officials knew how the system worked. If they’re no lon-ger there, the government will not function as well and this will frustrate the average Chinese and cause uncertainty and fear.

Xi also has to deal with the problem that the coastal areas of the east are pros-perous while the interior regions in the west have much higher poverty rates. So he must balance these reforms to keep the poorer interior regions growing without taking away the gains of the coastal region.

According to the “Stratfor” article, for the removal of corruption to be successful it must be vast. But those changes could frighten officials who see those purges reaching them and fearful people are dangerous and will tend to resist change. If 15,450 government officials were removed in one province due to corruption in 2014, what must many corrupt government officials be thinking in their own prov-inces?

China is in a period of tumultuous and necessary change. Now is the time to be paying attention to China, because with a pop-ulation of 1.4 billion people, what happens there will affect the entire world.

Neighbors Feeding Neighbors, a task force of the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation, has a mission to reduce hunger across the Plateau.

On April 10, all can help by participating in the “Dine Out and Give Back” effort.

The special day has been earmarked as a com-munitywide “Go Out To Fight Hunger” day.

The event will help local families struggling to afford groceries. Eleven restaurants across the Plateau have committed to helping raise money to sustain the Neighbors Feeding Neighbors pro-gram.

The following restaurants will be participat-ing on April 10: The Mint, Rainier Bar and Grill, Jackson’s, Kelly’s Mercantile, El Camino, The

Lee, Rendezvous Wine and Beer, McDonald’s, Taco Time, Big Daddy’s Barbeque and Four Seasons.

To participate, community members will sim-ply dine at one of the 11 restaurants. At the end of the meal, guests will have the opportunity to add any amount to their tab. The additional money will be accounted for as a tax-deduct-ible donation to the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation and allocated specifically to the Neighbors Feeding Neighbors fund.

Each Monday, Wednesday and Friday near-ly 50 meals are delivered into the home of a senior that is not able prepare a meal for themselves. Every Thursday, between 80 and

110 low-income family members are served a warm, home-cooked meal; and every Friday 284 Enumclaw School District elementary school children receive a bag of food to take home to prepare and consume over the weekend.

Recent South King County statistics show that one in four individuals experience hun-ger. Currently, the Enumclaw School District provides a free or reduced-cost lunch to 39 percent of its students – and the percentage is increasing.

We are in the midst of Holy Week. For most Christian denominations, it signifies the end of Lent and provides an opportu-nity to remember Jesus’ final days, hours and words uttered on the cross before his death.

During this week, and the entire season of Lent, we ref lect on our broken-ness and that which sepa-rates us from God – all as we await for the ushering in of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday with shouts of Alle…oh wait, not yet!

However, in the midst of this most sacred of weeks I find myself heart-broken. Having grown

up in Enumclaw and only recently moving back per-manently, I find myself aston-ished at the issue of homelessness now in our com-munity. Perhaps being a child and teenager, I never realized the struggles our town had, but I don’t believe that is the case.

As the Church, we have been baptized into Jesus’ life, death and resurrec-tion. Through baptism, we are called to live as Easter People. Meaning we are to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ through our actions, attitudes

and words. A good news that tells us through faith our sins are forgiven. A good news which turns us away from ourselves and toward the needs of oth-ers. A good news which calls us to see the world as a God sees it.

Therefore, If we are to live as Easter People, then let us be Christ to our

neighbor. Both the neigh-bor next door whom we see, but also the neigh-bor on the street who goes unseen or unwanted.

And how are we to be Christ to our neighbors? I am convinced it begins with the simplest of ges-tures: saying hello or smil-ing when you catch an eye. In other words, by looking at people not as an issue, but through the eyes of Christ; as God’s beloved children. For it recapitu-lates our lives when we see others in the same light as God sees us: forgiven and redeemed.

I am not making an attempt to undersimplify a systemic issue by say-

ing, “Just be nice.” That is not what the Gospel calls us to do. But I do believe these simple gestures change us so we no longer ignore people but see oth-ers as our neighbors. For as Jesus was once asked, “Who is your neighbor?” The answer was, “The one who showed mercy.” You know who your neighbors are, ”Now go and do like-wise.”

People of God, may we extend the same grace and mercy to others we first experienced through Jesus Christ as we live out of the hope and promise offered because of the res-urrection we celebrate this Easter Sunday.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! (Sorry, I couldn’t wait until Sunday!)

Marianne Binetti will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 2, at Blakely Hall, 2550 N.E. Park Dr. in Issaquah. Her topic will be “Delightful Gardens in Dry Shade.” It’s a free seminar. Guests can simply show up or register at www.brownpapertickets.com/events/87989.

The month of April is

a warning to April fools. Spring may be sprung but summer is still months away and this is not the month to introduce frost-sensitive plants to the garden no mat-ter how mild our winter weather. Do not plant gera-niums, petunias, tomatoes, cucumbers or other warmth-loving plants until after all danger of frost has passed – usually sometime in mid-May.

April is a good month for planting trees, shrubs, roses, perennial plants like hosta and rock garden plants

as well as hardy sedums and succu-lents and cool-sea-son vegetables.

Q. I have c l e m a t i s

that flower in the summer – I think it is called Mr. President. It had been growing on a trellis but the wood has rot-ted and I want to replace the old trellis with one made from metal. My question: can I cut the long clematis stems to the ground for a fresh start? I do not want to kill this clematis as the flow-ers are lovely. P.P., Puyallup

A. I vote to give Mr. President the pony-

tail cut now for a fresh start on the new support system. The ponytail cut is when you grab all the stems in one hand about a foot from the soil level and snip like you would if you were cutting off a ponytail. If you prune a

summer-flowering clematis in early spring it will still elect to give you blooms that same summer – just expect the flowers to show up later in the season. Most over-grown clematis vines can be pruned back to 12 to 18 inches from the ground if necessary to clean them up or start fresh growth.

Q. I decided to patch some bare spots in

my old lawn last month so I spread a sandy, two-way mix of soil in the empty spots, sprinkled grass seed then covered the seed with com-post that I purchased in a bag from the garden center. It has been four weeks and no sign of new grass sprout-ing. What do you think hap-pened? C.C., Renton.

A. The clue to this mystery of the dis-

appearing grass seed is that you covered the seed with compost. Grass seed will not sprout in cool weather if it

is hidden under a blanket of damp compost. Just barely cover the seed with a very thin layer of peat moss or a tiny bit of compost by rak-ing the topdressing lightly over the seed. In Western Washington our damp spring weather means grass seed will sprout sooner if left uncovered – if you can keep the birds from remov-ing the seed. When it comes to planting bare spots you can now find “lawn patch repair” seed mixes that are sold with bits of tissue paper and mulch mixed right into the seed. This is a good way to seed the lawn without burying the lawn seed too deep while still protecting it from the birds.

Q. I bought a dwarf mugo pine a few

years ago and it is now 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide! My neighbor has a dwarf burn-ing bush with the name “compacta” at the end that has also grown into a huge shrub 5 feet tall. We have very small yards and want to know if there are any shrubs that will stay dwarf or com-pact. We no longer trust the plant tags that say a shrub is dwarf. M., email

A. Snow White is not the only lady that

loves dwarfs and you can find your own true love of dwarf evergreens at local nurser-ies. Just ask for “true dwarfs” that will grow just one inch or one-half inch a year. The cone-shaped dwarf Alberta Spruce comes in both a semi-dwarf form (the most com-mon) and a true dwarf that will stay less than 2 feet tall after 10 years. There are also evergreens with round bun forms, weeping forms and lovely upright but very narrow forms that serve as “exclamation points” in the landscape. These “true dwarfs” are often sold as rock garden conifers or dish garden conifers. These com-pact dwarfs may cost more than the more common evergreens but they are so well-behaved, tidy and hard-

working that they are worth the investment – so off to work they go.

SPRING NOTICENatural Gas Safety In The Event Of An EarthquakeFires and explosions are often more damaging than the earthquake itself. Fire statistics from previous earthquakes and others in the United States over the past four decades indicate gas related fires contribute 20% to 50% of all earthquake related fires. City of Enumclaw gas utility recommends you shut off your gas immediately after an earthquake if you smell gas. If you are at work or away when an earthquake hits, then you may not be able to get home in time. An earthquake valve will take care of this instantly for you. An Earthquake valve or seismic valve is an automatic way to shut off the gas supply to your home or business in the event of an earthquake. These are applicable not only to your Enumclaw supplied gas but propane (LPG) as well. These devices should be installed by a licensed contractor and can cost between $300 and $500 per meter which should include parts and labor. With the use of these shut off valves, and their subsequent prevention of after earthquake fires, the fire dept. can bet-ter use their personnel in the rescue efforts that are sure to follow. If you have any questions contact Ed Hawthorne (Gas Utility Manager) (360) 615-5787

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKSNATURAL GAS SAFETY REMINDERS

Please remember all gas customers are responsible for gas line maintenance of piping past the meter. This includes all piping after the gas meter servicing the business, residence and/or additional buildings associated with each property. This maintenance requirement is in reference to the Code of Federal Regulation Title 49, Part 192, which includes the following: 1) If piping is not maintained, it may be subject to the potential hazards of corrosion and leakage. 2) Buried gas piping should be: a. Periodically inspected for corrosion if piping is metallic. b. Repaired if any unsafe condition is discovered. c. When excavating near buried pipe, must be located in advance. 3) The operator, plumbing contractors, and heating contractors can assist in locating, inspecting, and repairing the customer’s buried piping.

If you smell natural gas please notify the City of Enumclaw at 360 825-5541. After hours call Police Dispatch at 360 825-3505Now that spring is here and the warm weather is upon us, we will be enjoying the sun in our yards while plant-ing flowers, installing new fences, or landscaping our property. While you are doing these things, your City of Enumclaw Natural Gas Department would like to remind you to be aware of the buried gas lines running across your yard. A lot of these lines are plastic and can be cut with a shovel. Remember before you dig call toll-free number 1-800-424-5555 and the gas lines will be located for you.

City of Enumclaw Summer MaintenanceCity of Enumclaw Gas Technician will be out performing maintenance on your meter starting in June. Please be sure you have no debris or equipment blocking access to the meter set. The annual maintenance requires the technician to visually inspect and if needed make required adjustments’. We appreciate your assistance.

In the absence of celebration we lose all meaning of what we say we value.

–paraphrase Terrance Deal

We have a lot to celebration in many departments across the district. Over the last month, teams have been work-ing late into the night installing new network switches and wireless access points at each school in the district. A total of 237 access points and and 28

switches were installed. This means we now have full wireless cover-age throughout each school, and each school’s network connection speed back to our core/server network has been increased tenfold! A new guest wireless network has also been enabled for student and sta� personal devices. This new network will be easier to access and connect. We also enjoyed a little bit of Christmas in March! Last Friday 240 new Hewlett Packard laptops arrived in the district. Get ready kids as the laptops are headed your way! This is just the begin-ning! Thank you, voters.

Hats o� to our Child Nutrition Program sta� . Recently the OSPI did an audit on our food ser-vice program. The audit was extensive as it re-views the accuracy of all free and reduced lunch applications, examines all standardized recipes to include a menu nutrient analysis. They also check compliance with minimum and maximum limits of calories, saturated fat, bread grains and sodium. The auditors visited White River High School and Foothills Elementary. The nutrition sta� were monitored to ensure proper serving sizes and that the serving components are presented to children to qualify for a reimbursable meal. Lastly, the auditors review standard operating procedures, production records, and school board poli-cies. The Child Nutrition Program successfully completed the audit with no � ndings! Again, congratulations to the leadership and the sta� who work in the program.

Our Transportation Department com-pleted its e� ciency assessment with a score of 100%. This is a rare event! The e� ciency assessment uses the variables of number of busses on routes, the number of students on each bus, and the road miles between bus stops to compute the e� ciency.  Super-visor, Randy Gregg, and his o� ce crew have done outstanding work. Their skill in bus stop placement and route design made the e� -ciency rating possible.

In a school district, classi� ed sta� to include transportation and food service, exists to help us ful� ll our mission of high levels of learning for all students for success beyond high school. In White River this is everyone’s mission. As you can see from the examples in this column, it really  doesn’t  matter whether you are a teacher, administrator, or member of our classi� ed sta� , everyone  has the same job—working as part of a larger team to ful� ll our mission. We simply have di� erent titles and responsibilities.

S.T.E.M. FAIR

Over 80 students participated in the � rst  Wilke-son S.T.E.M. Fair this March. Besides the traditional sci-enti� c investigation, Wilkeson students in grades K - 5th entered projects in other categories that included Tech-nology/Computer programming, Reverse Engineering, Inventions, and Mathematical Investigations. Some of the projects included students investigating the per-meability of an egg shell, dismantling engines, pro-gramming animated characters with Scratch code, or a cost analysis of raising animals for food versus going to the grocery store for a year. Students created presenta-tion boards and gave oral presentations to community judges. Next year, the S.T.E.M. fair will become bigger and better as it will include the Art concept of Design and Innovation and there will be a S.T.E.A.M. Commu-nity Night with hands-on activities for the whole family. Science is alive and � ourishing in White River!

of choice, which includes the freedom to not choose, or in this case, the freedom to not vote.

Some arguments against mandatory voting say the average American is incompetent at following political races and their votes for presidents and congressmen are based on sensationalized headlines and misinformation.

If we were to force the uninformed masses to vote, the argument goes, the political system would become more backwards than it already is. Hence, only the informed should participate in the political system and the ignorant should choose to remove themselves from the game.

Ilya Somin of the Washington Post wrote an opinion article about Obama’s speech, refuting the president’s argument that compulsory voting would help get big money out of politics.

Somin argues, “relatively ignorant voters are more likely to be influenced by simplistic 30 second ads than relatively well-informed ones,” and more money will pour into the political system to sway the uninformed.

This may be so, and as a journalist, I’ve seen how people can be led astray by misinformation from both sides of the political spec-trum.

However, I think a man-datory voting system gives many disenfranchised citi-zens a chance to voice their opinion. This would not only far outweigh the cons of uninformed voters par-ticipating in the political arena, but it also resolves the paradox of mandatory voting in a democracy.

Elections are run by multi-million dollar PACs and laws are passed by deep-pocketed lobbyists. Money runs the American political system now, not the voters. So maybe it’s time for the government to help the people take back their voice.

In his speech, Obama said, “The people who tend not to vote are young, they’re lower income, they’re skewed more heav-ily towards immigrant groups and minority groups… There’s a reason why some folks try to keep them away from the polls. We should want to get them into the polls.”

Political studies show that many young people, such as myself, vote for more lib-erally. The same goes for

the working and poor class-es, as well as immigrant groups and minorities. It may be a political boon for the Democratic party if a mandatory voting system was installed, but not all conservatives vote during elections either. And not all liberals and conservatives are straight-ticket voters.

Really, no one knows which party, if either, would benefit the most from a

mandatory voting system. Rohan Wenn, a spokes-

person for the non-par-tisan political advocacy group Get Up! was quot-ed in a BBC article about Australian mandatory vot-ing.

“If you look at the inter-national experience, in non-compulsory voting systems,” he said, “the peo-ple who don’t vote are the poor and disenfranchised

and those are exactly the people we think should be voting.”

Everyone should have the power to vote, but in recent history the voices of the tired, the poor and the hud-dled masses have eroded, and the rich and affluent have built walls and towers to consolidate their control.

Maybe the answer isn’t mandatory voting. Maybe we should make presiden-

tial and midterm elections a national holiday, so more people can take the time to vote. If that option is too expensive, then let’s try vot-ing on the weekend.

Maybe laws should be passed to ensure political ads convey truthful and accurate information and money spent on political campaigns should have a cap limit and be made 100 percent transparent. Any of

these solutions could be a step towards equality and a more effective government.

But the fact remains that an accessible voting system with a high participation rate will only help a democ-racy, not hinder it.

And of course, if one party does benefit from a silent majority now com-pelled to vote, well, that’s democracy for you.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking pub-lic comment on its draft Environmental Assessment and draft Finding of No Significant Impact for a Mud Mountain Dam fish passage project. The public comment period ends April 17.

The Mud Mountain fish passage facility was con-structed as mitigation for the loss of fish passage due to the construction of Mud Mountain Dam that was completed in 1941. The project is on the White River near the Enumclaw and Buckley on the White River.

The Corps is proposing to construct a replacement fish trap and haul facility, plus a replacement fish passage barrier, as well as upgrad-ing access roads to the fish trap and the release site. The proposed new fish trap facil-ity would be constructed on the right bank of the river directly across from the existing fish trap facility.

The project replaces a 100-year-old barrier and a 70-year-old fish trap.

The planning of the new facility has been a collabora-tive effort using a Regional Design Team with repre-sentatives from National Marine Fisheries Service, Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Cascade Water Alliance.

The draft Environmental Assessment and draft Finding of No Significant Impact are available on the Seattle District website at: http://1.usa.gov/1xmgaIe and http://1.usa.gov/1DFgnIn.

To submit public com-ments, correspondence should be directed to: Michael Scuderi, Environmental Resources Branch, 206-764-7205; via e-mail at [email protected]; or at U.S. Army Corps of Engineer District, Seattle, Attn: CENWS-EN-ER, P.O. Box 3755, Seattle, 98134.

SUMNER SCHOOL DISTRICTVISIT US ONLINE: SUMNERSD.ORG

Spring is upon us – a time of growth! In our schools, students are growing. New skills are be-ing developed and existing skills are being nurtured. Students are making connections, formulating ideas – imaginations are over-� owing. Traditionally, spring is also a time

for the district to assess the work being done in the schools and take a deep look into how students are performing. However – the fact of the matter is that we assess our growth continually. Assessments provide an overview as to how our students are learning and what they are retaining.

To ensure that all Sumner School District students are col-lege and career ready, three systems of quality need to be in place. Learning standards provide a shared set of expectations for what students should know and be able to do. Assessments are tools used to support, inform, and measure teaching and learning throughout the school year. Finally, curriculum guides the teacher as they deliver quality instruction.

The district has partnered with Curriculum Management Systems, inc. (CMSi) to conduct a comprehensive audit of our educational programs.   The Curriculum Audit provides an intense and independent scrutiny of policies, planning, organizational relationships, administrative functioning, cur-riculum design and delivery, equity, feedback use, budget-ing, facilities, and many other factors that contribute to the optimization of our district. 

The goal of this audit is to identify how well the system deliv-ers teaching and learning, pointing to where we are strong and where we need attention or improvement.  The audit report frequently becomes an “agenda for action” and is based on an external, unbiased perspective focusing on es-sential components of quality improvement.

This is important work, allowing us to look deeply at the work we are doing to ensure that we are targeted and focused on providing excellent instruction, every day for every student. This growth mindset ensures that all Sumner School District students are career and college ready – and have the skills to compete for quality jobs that our state has to offer.

Daffodil Valley Elementary 5th grade students are leaving their mark on the school and learning the salmon life cycle while doing it. With the help of Oregon artists, the 5th Grade Team has creative-ly integrated social studies, liter-acy, and art into an unforgettable, school-wide learning experience. 

The mural celebrates school culture and diversity by incorporating cultural aspects from local Native American heritage. Students also enlisted the help of the community by writing persuasive letters to neighborhood hard-ware stores for support. 

Students learned about the mural painting process as they were � rst given stencils to draw � sh onto the wall and then � lled the � sh in with painted colors.  The mural was inspired by the book Salmon Stream by Carol Reed-Jones, a local author and teacher from Bellingham. 

More than just a pretty wall, murals help bring lessons alive and instill a sense of community pride.

Having More Retirement Accounts is Not the Same as Having More Money.When it comes to the number of retirement accounts you have, the saying “more is better” is not necessarily true. In fact, if you hold multiple accounts with various brokers, it can be difficult to keep track of your investments and to see if you’re properly diversified.* At the very least, multiple accounts usually mean multiple fees.

Bringing your accounts to Edward Jones could help solve all that. Plus, one statement can make it easier to see if you’re moving toward your goals.

that has a great impact on the school and community. She is a special young lady.”

Lange said her decision to play collegiate soccer instead of basketball was decided her sophomore year of high school.

She said she had been play-ing Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) basketball from eighth grade until her sophomore year.

During that time, she had moved up on the roster and had earned a starting spot.

But to Lange, she said she started to feel “burnt out on the sport and it didn’t really seem fun to me.”

On the field, Lange plays goalkeeper and has been doing so ever since was 10.

She said she enjoys that position because as goalkeeper you aren’t in the action all the time.

“However, most don’t know that the goalkeeper has the best seat in the house,” Lange said.

She added, aside from blocking occasional shots, her job as goalie is to communi-cate with the rest of the team because she can see every-thing that is happening on the field.

“It’s a much more complex position than people think,” she said. “And that’s why I

absolutely love it.”Lange finished her final sea-

son as goalie for the Spartans in the fall.

When fall sports were wrapping up, Lange’s final season of playing for Sumner was right around the corner.

Basketball season was get-ting ready to tip off.

Her senior season came to an early end during the first half of the district champion-ship game when she went out with an injury.

“Jamie Lange is one of those kids that will never be replaced,” Sumner basketball coach Jordan Moog said. “The greatest part about her time at Sumner is that her impact goes far beyond the basketball floor.”

It was later diagnosed that she tore her anterior cruciate ligament and partially tore her lateral collateral ligament.

Since the district game in late February, Lange said her recovery is “coming along very well.”

Aside from some concus-sions previously and dislodg-ing a accessory bone in her foot freshman year after land-ing wrong after a rebound, this is Lange’s only major injury.

“It’s definitely one of the hardest experiences I’ve had,” she said.

She said she has spoken with her UPS coaches and they understand the situation.

She added, the decision to

have her red shirt or not will come later based on how her recovery goes and how she feels.

“I am definitely in no hurry to rush getting back,” Lange said. “I don’t want to reinjure it.”

She said right now, the estimated recovery is nine months until she can return to full competition and contact.

Lange’s initial thoughts after landing wrong during the district game was pain, she said.

She said once she calmed down and it started to feel bet-ter, she said, she wanted to go back out there.

Before halftime, Lange was heavily taped at the knee and made her way back onto the court.

She lined up as an opposing player shot free throws.

Once Lange boxed out, she said, “it completely gave out.”

She said that was the moment she knew she wasn’t going to be able to finish the

game.It wasn’t until the MRI

results came in, that she believed she had torn her ACL, Lange said.

“I was absolutely devastat-ed,” she said. “(Nobody) wants to go out their senior year.”

Lange said she had to fill her role on the team in a differ-ent way by being a cheerleader and captain from the bench.

Lange’s decision sopho-more year to focus on soccer at the next level changed this year.

“I did not expect to have the senior season I did,” she said.

She added, basketball may be in her future depending on how she feels post-rehab and therapy.

Lange’s stellar senior bas-ketball season was highlighted by the number of awards she was honored.

She was named first team all area, Washington Interscholastic Activities Association player of the week, all league co-Most Valuable

Player and USA Today player of the week.

However, she said she does not pay attention to the recog-nition she receives.

“Awards or no awards, it wouldn’t change how I play,” Lange said.

She added, the honors do help people notice the extra time and effort she puts into playing.

As the Spartans look to the coming seasons, without Lange, “it’s going to be very tough,” Moog said.

Sumner soccer coach Robi Turley said Lange has been starting since her freshman year and is a “huge reason why we have two state champion-ships to brag about.”

Turley said replacing not only her athletic skill but her leadership will be hard.

Both coaches and Baines look forward to what she accomplishes during her time at UPS.

The community knows Lange as an athlete but outside

of sports, she said one of her favorite things to do is spend time with family.

“Family is and always will be so important to me,” she said.

She said she is also fasci-nated with people.

“I am an avid people watch-er at mall, airports, restau-rants,” she said.

This year, Lange said one of her favorite memories is when the team went to San Diego for a basketball tourna-ment and got to spend time at Disneyland.

A favorite moment from a basketball game is when she hit a three pointer against Bonney Lake.

She said, she remembers looking at Moog and seeing her “shaking her head and laughing.”

Those moments are from senior year but when Lange looked back at her four years spent at Sumner, she said when she was a freshman she

ROUNDUP FROM 5

got to play on the same team as her sister, who was a senior, and that was “one of the coolest experiences.”

She also looks up to her sister, who she credits with teaching her the importance of sportsmanship.

“She is the one of the most selfless people I know and (I am forever thankful that) she taught me that it is okay to be nice even when you’re in competition,” Lange said.

Lange is also inspired by Seattle Sounders goalkeeper Josh Ford and University of Washington basketball player Kelli Kingma.

Lange said Kingma was battling an injury when they were roommates for AAU basketball and she showed her how to not let your injuries affect your passion for the game.

“Now I see this as very helpful advice,” Lange said. “I do not plan to let this injury in anyway affect the passion I have.”

At UPS, Lange plans to study physical therapy and become an athletic trainer or therapist.

Aside from her studies and time spent on the field and maybe even the court, Lange is looking forward to meeting new people.

She said UPS is also a national school and she “can’t wait to get the opportunity to study abroad.”

of Bonney Lake, South Prairie, Sumner, Edgewood, Milton and unincorporated Pierce County communities on March 19 announcing the new protection clas-sifications

The lower the classification number, the better the rating. The rating scale is from one to 10, with one being the best rating the bureau can give.

In Bonney Lake, the protection clas-sification number improved from five to four.

South Prairie saw an improvement from seven to five.

Sumner remained a four and Edgewood remained a five, although Thorson said it improved from a high five to a low five.

Milton saw an improvement from six to four, and unincorporated parts of

Pierce County saw an improvement from five to four.

Tempered newsWhile the improved protection

classes may mean lower premi-ums, not all the news is positive. Because $3.2 million was cut from the departments budget when the maintenance and operations levy failed the good ratings may be tem-porary.

Thorson said if the department isn’t able to increase their budget, restore public education programs, staffing levels and firefighter and EMS training in the near future, the department could change the rat-ing by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau in a few years.

This could negatively affect insur-ance premiums.

A pair of local high school students – Zachary Webb of Black Diamond and Charles Stern of Buckley – have been award-ed a prestigious President’s Scholarship by Pacific Lutheran University.

The award is worth $24,000 a year and, with it, comes the opportunity to earn more.

OPENING DAYSawyer and south of Covington, is a licensed general wildlife cen-ter principally serving King and Pierce counties. It is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and release of orphaned and injured wildlife. White and Tigger Birch, a licensed veterinarian technician, opened Critter Care in 2009 and it has con-sistently grown. Mammals, reptiles and birds are cared for at the facil-ity. According to Critter Care’s web-site, an estimated 4,000 animals are taken in annually. Much of the work is done by volunteers and costs are covered by donations, grants and fundraising events.

White wrote in an email the eagle released March 20 was “transferred to West Sound Wildlife Shelter for f light training. (Eagles) require very large and expensive f light cages.”

A fundraising event for critter care is scheduled at 1 to 4 p.m. April 19 at Foster Golf Links, 13500 Interurban Avenue South, Tukwila. Tickets are $20. For information call 206-778-1680.

The National Park Service last week released its deferred maintenance statistics for national parks. The $11.49 billion nationwide total was up from the $11.3 billion reported at the end of 2013 and includes Mount Rainier National Park, which listed a backlog of deferred maintenance projects totaling nearly $300 million.

Deferred maintenance is necessary work on infrastructure like roads and bridges, visitor cen-ters, trails and camp-grounds that has been put off for more than a year. Aging facilities, increas-ing use of park facilities

and insufficient mainte-nance funding contribute to the growing backlog.

“If funded, the National Park Service’s 2016 budget request will allow us to restore several of our high-est priority non-transpor-tation assets to good con-dition,” said Randy King, Mount Rainier National Park superintendent.

Park roads and bridges account for about half of the overall NPS mainte-nance backlog, and more than two-thirds of the maintenance backlog at Mount Rainier National Park.

“President Obama’s pro-posal to fund nationally significant transportation

projects could address some of the National Park Service’s large, criti-cal deferred maintenance transportation projects,” King said. “Completing those projects would pave the way for many of the hundreds of mil-l ions of v isitors that come to national parks each year.”

The National Park Service’s overall budget request for non-transpor-tation assets includes an increase of $242.8 mil-lion across operations and construction accounts, in combination with a man-datory proposal to provide $300 million annually over three years.

it boasts places to shop, rent equipment or grab something to eat.

• Mount Rainier ViewpointStop here for the first of many glorious

views of Mount Rainier after beginning this tour.

• Skookum FallsDropping a dramatic 250 feet in two

tiers, watch the water shimmer as it makes its way down the mountainside leading into the White River. The view is best early in the season when the water flow is at its height, although observing the falls frozen by the cold winter air is a unique experience.

• Side Trip: SunriseAccess is at the discretion of state agen-

cies, but – when available - Sunrise offers postcard views of Mount Rainier. Sitting at 6,400 feet, it is the highest point to which you can drive in the park. There are incredible views of Emmons Glacier, the mountain’s largest sheet of ice, plus views of five of the Cascade volcanoes.

• Side Trip: Tipsoo Lake and Chinook Pass Summit

Just a few hundred meters from the summit, stop at quaint Tipsoo Lake. Departing from Tipsoo Lake is the popu-lar Naches Loop Trail. Explore colorful fields of subalpine flowers, pass beside two fragile, glassy ponds, and discover breath-taking views of Mount Rainier along this family-friendly, three-hour hike. For a shorter walk, take the nature trail lead-ing around the lake. A picnic area is also located here.

To reach Tipsoo Lake and Chinook Pass Summit, continue on SR 410, rather than following the driving tour as it turns right onto SR 123.

• Grove of the Patriarchs: Enjoy an easy

1.5 mile loop through this old-growth for-est.

• Box CanyonThe Muddy Fork of the Cowlitz River

has cut a channel 100 feet deep but only 15 to 30 feet across. Walk a bridge across the canyon for a dizzying view of this deep forest canyon. A nice picnic area is also located here.

• Side Trip: ParadiseDiscover Paradise. At 5,400 feet, this area

with its glorious views of Mount Rainier is the primary destination for many visitors to the park. The Henry M. Jackson Memorial Visitor Center offers interpretive displays about the geology, flora, fauna and moun-tain climbing in the area.

It’s just a short walk to the historic Paradise Inn with rustic rooms, the Paradise Inn Dining Room, Glacier Lounge, and a gift shop. Built in 1917, this beautiful inn displays hand-crafted fur-niture, a magnificent 14 foot grandfather clock and a rustic piano built by a German carpenter. Leaving from both the inn and visitor center is one of the most popular activities at Paradise -- the short, family-friendly, paved nature trails. Suitable for just about everyone, these pathways lead through colorful meadows and offer spec-tacular mountain vistas. On the Nisqually Vista Trail, walk where the clouds go and see how weather shapes the landscape, plants and animals of these high-country meadows. See splendid fields of wildflow-ers while taking in the stunning views of Mount Rainier and Nisqually Glacier. And keep your eyes peeled for area residents -- the amusing whistling marmots sun-ning themselves on the rock outcroppings. During the winter season, the road is not plowed beyond this point.

To reach this destination, follow the signs to Paradise. Turn right off Stevens Canyon Road onto Paradise Valley Road

and travel two miles to the visitor center.• Glacier Vista Viewpoint and ExhibitLook up to the summit and see

Nisqually Glacier and its origin on the permanent Nisqually snowfield. Beginning at 14,000 feet, this is the fastest moving glacier on the mountain, moving at more than one foot a day.

• LongmireVisit Longmire Museum, one of the old-

est museums in the National Park System with several exhibits on the cultural and natural history of the park. Located here is the Longmire Wilderness Information Center with information on hiking and climbing in the area. It is also a starting point for hikers of the Wonderland Trail.

• Nisqually EntranceStanding at the Nisqually Entrance to

Mount Rainier National Park, notice the wooden entrance arch built in 1922 and reconstructed in 1973. Just inside this entrance see the oldest building in the park, a cabin built in 1908 that was occu-pied by a park ranger.

• Ashford Visitor Center and Base Camp

Discover the wide variety of recre-ational opportunities and services offered in this southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park.

• Elbe Depot and the Elbe Evangelical Lutheran Church

Since 1906, the Elbe Evangelical Lutheran Church has watched over the mountain community of Elbe. Built by German immigrants, this tiny church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In the same area, view the Elbe Depot serving as a visitor center, gift shop and ticket station for the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad.

• Pack ForestWinding your way back to Enumclaw,

stop at Pack Forest for outstanding hiking trails. The forest is open to hikers, cyclists and equestrians.

• EatonvilleIt is home to Northwest Trek, The

Pioneer Farm Museum and walking trails, all with a small-town feel. Dining options and support services are available.

• Lake KapowsinTake a look at pretty Lake Kapowsin. It

is a favorite among anglers. Covering 512 acres, the lake was formed by the Electron Mudflow which occurred 500 years ago.

• Side Trip: Carbon River Entrance to Mount Rainier National Park

Visit the historic communities of Wilkeson and Carbonado and enjoy the Fairfax Bridge. It was built in 1921 and when the 494-foot long bridge was con-structed, it was the highest bridge in the state. Spanning the Carbon River, today the bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. (For the uninitiated, it’s a one-lane, one-at-a-time passage.)

The Carbon River Road remains closed to motor vehicles due to flood damage. Sightseers and outdoor enthusiasts are welcome to walk along the road to the entrance of the park enjoying the beauty of this remote corner of the park.

Others might choose to drive the Mowich Lake Road to the pristine waters of Mowich Lake. The road is unpaved after the first three miles and may be rough. In the winter this road is closed 10 miles from the lake and opens each summer in early July; check carefully for opening dates.

To reach these areas, turn right on SR 165, rather than following the driving route as it turns left.

• BuckleyIt’s the last stop before completing the

loop. Dining and services are available.
