At approximately 10:15 Monday morning, the Bonney Lake Police Department responded to a report that a jersey barrier had fallen from state Route 410 onto Angeline Road.

According to Public Information Officer Todd Green, the jersey barri-er, which was as wide as Angeline Road, crushed a truck driving north under-neath the overpass.

The construction on SR 410 is a project aimed at widening the sidewalks.

Bonney Lake police closed Angeline Road from both sides of the overpass for several hours to make the area safe for workers underneath before they could lift the barrier off the vehicle.

Green confirmed there was one occupant in the vehicle, sex unknown, killed on the scene. At time of press, it was unknown if there were any other pas-

sengers in the vehicle. The SR 410 overpass over

Angeline Road itself is safe for drivers to drive over, according to Green.

“Both the Department of Transportation and the city of Bonney Lake came out and determined the bridge itself is structurally sound,” Green said.

Just when the city of Bonney Lake thought it

saw the end of the marijua-na debate, a potential mari-juana retail store is ready to reignite the argument.

The city officially banned licensed marijuana grow-ers, processors and retail-ers from operating in the city on Jan. 13 (Ordinance No. 1502 [D15-08A]).

On March 25, 4Ever Healing LLC’s owner Saranjit Bassi and THC Law Firm attorney Chris Crew filed a lawsuit against Bonney Lake in Pierce County Superior Court in an attempt to reverse the city’s decision.

This lawsuit is the latest of many that have attempt-ed to reverse several city and county decisions to

ban marijuana businesses. Bans in the cities of Fife,

Kennewick and Wenatchee have been upheld by courts in Washington, as well as Pierce and Clark counties, according to the Office of the Attorney General.

However, Crew said his arguments differ from the ones already made in those cases.

“A big difference between our lawsuit and the ones that have failed in Fife and Wenatchee and the county is they were not going for the takings argu-ment,” Crew said after the Jan. 13 council meeting, explaining the city should pay Bassi for not allowing his businesses in the city. “They also were not going for the Bill of Attainder argument.”

The Enumclaw School District Proposition No. 1 bond for school renova-tion and construction is on the April 28 special election ballot.

It is an all-mail elec-tion. The ballots and voters pamphlets were mailed last week and must be postmarked by the 28th to be valid; or, ballots can be taken to a drop box location or a special “drop-off van.”

The bond proposal must receive a 60 percent “yes” vote to pass with a minimum turnout of 12,572.

If the proposition is approved the district will build a new Black Diamond Elementary School on the grounds where the current ele-mentary building sits.

The measure also would pay for an exten-sive remodel of Enumclaw High School.

The proposition would issue a maximum of

$68.5 million in general obligation bonds matur-ing within 21 years.

Superintendent Mike Nelson said the bond would not increase the current tax rate for property owners, which is $1.60 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The measure extends the bond that was passed for the construction of Thunder Mountain Middle School about 20 years ago. The Thunder Mountain bond expires in a year.

Board StrategyNelson said mem-

bers of the Enumclaw School Board developed a strategy to get the Black Diamond Elementary and Enumclaw High School in very good condition, rather than continuing to patch up problems.

“You can only do add-ons for so long,” Nelson said.

According to Nelson, both the high school and elementary school

r e c e i v e d a d d i t i o n s and were p a t c h e d from the 1960s to the present. He said in April 2014 the board began look-ing at the condition of the schools and decided the best plan was a major renovation of the high school and building a new elemen-tary in Black Diamond.

Safety Nelson said one of the

most important issues the bond addresses is, “allowing us to build safe campus structures. What we would be able to do is lockdown kids in parts of the building (for protec-tion from an intruder) and exit others if the need arose.”

At the high school, Nelson said, there are currently more than 70 entrances. The new

design will have three.

He added the design w o u l d , “ i n c r e a s e the t ime an intruder would need to get into a school and d e c r e a s e

the time for police to get in.”

The Black Diamond Elementar y School design would have one major entrance.

The Enumclaw High plan is to build a two-sto-ry structure connecting to the current commons.

“Two stories will save the taxpayers money and allows us to secure f loors and sections,” Nelson said.

The current gym

would be converted into a performing arts center. A new gymnasium with locker rooms would be constructed.

The plan for Black Diamond Elementary includes a complete tear down of the current building and construc-tion of a two-story build-ing that would house 450 students. The building would include a gymna-sium, a cafeteria and a safer route for buses and parents picking up or dropping students at the school.

Nelson said he believes the improvements will make a dramatic differ-ence in the educational environment in the enhanced opportunities for teachers and students.

“Our teachers are very excited for the improve-

ments,” Nelson said. “Our goal is to help our students learn at the highest possible level. I want safety and I want to use the taxpayers’ money wisely.”

Crew also filed a sepa-rate lawsuit against Deputy Mayor Dan Swatman on the same date, citing unconstitutional conduct during the Jan. 13 meeting.

Both lawsuits are sched-uled for hearings on July 17.

Washington law preempts city’s ban

The lawsuit against Bonney Lake relies on sev-eral different arguments as to why the city can’t ban marijuana businesses.

The complaint argues Bonney Lake’s ban on marijuana businesses is in conflict with state law and Initiative 502, and state law trumps, or preempts, the local ban.

“Neither I-502, Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 69.50 or Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 314-55 contains provisions authorizing cit-ies or counties to opt out of the production, processing or retailing of marijuana,” the complaint reads.

However, Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s opinion on I-502, released on Jan. 16, 2014, disagrees with the complaint’s claims.

Ferguson wrote, “Under Washington law, there is a strong presump-tion against finding that state law preempts local ordinances,” and I-502 “includes no clear indi-cation” that state law to preempts local authority to regulate businesses.

In a statement released Aug. 29, 2014, Ferguson wrote, “The drafters of Initiative 502 could have required local jurisdictions to allow the sale of recre-ational marijuana. It could have been done in a single sentence, but it was not,” further strengthening his argument.

Another argument is the city of Bonney Lake did not file written objec-tions with the Washington State Liquor Control Board toward Bassi’s marijuana business license, as per RCW 69.50.331(7)(b).

The code states written objections shall include a statement of all facts for

why the city objects to a licensed marijuana busi-ness.

When the complaint is received, the Liquor Control Board would hold a hearing to grant or deny the marijuana busi-ness license. Either par-ties involved in the hear-ing can appeal this initial decision.

However, The Liquor Control Board, “has no authority to dictate zoning requirements to local gov-ernments,” the LCB wrote on a FAQ webpage about I-502, potentially giving weight to Bonney Lake’s ban. “Municipalit ies could conceivably zone marijuana/related busi-nesses out of their geo-graphical area.”

Kathleen Haggard, who represents the city of Bonney Lake in this law-suit, agreed with the LCB and said the city wasn’t objecting to Bassi’s mari-juana businesses license, but to marijuana busi-nesses in general.

“Even if you do get a license from the liquor con-trol board, you still have to comply with local zoning

requirements,” Haggard said.

Finally, the lawsuit argues that banning 4Ever Healing from operating in Bonney Lake is a bill of attainder in violation of both the Washington state and U.S. Constitution.

Article 1 Section 10 of the US Constitution pro-hibits states from passing “any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.”

A bill of attainder is a bill or law that has a negative effect on a single person or group without a trial.

Because only one retail license was awarded to the city of Bonney Lake by the Liquor Control Board dur-ing the marijuana retail lottery, the lawsuit argues the city’s ban on marijua-na businesses “specifically targets Saranjit Bassi and 4Ever Healing LLC,” and is a bill of attainder in viola-tion of the Constitution.

The lawsuit asks for $1 million for just compensa-tion to Bassi and to allow 4Ever Healing to operate in the city.

Haggard said the coun-cil’s decision to ban mari-juana businesses is on strong legal ground.

“There have been half a dozen court decisions already that have upheld local bans on marijuana businesses,” Haggard said. “We’re not in any differ-ent position than any of those cities and counties that have had their bans upheld.”

Unconstitutional conduct at city

councilThe second lawsuit, filed

by Crew, who is represent-ing himself, argues that Swatman acted unconsti-tutionally during the Jan. 13 council meeting and the city is liable for his behav-ior.

During the citizen com-ment portion of the meet-ing, several people spoke in favor of a marijuana retail store, including Bassi and his business partner Zakaria Hazrat.

Crew was the last person to speak during the citizen comment period.

After giving his name to the council, Crew said, “I’m an attorney for Mr. Bassi and Mr. Hazrat, the plaintiffs.”

Crew spoke for five min-utes on why the city should not ban marijuana retail stores when he was inter-rupted by the five minute timer.

Crew asked for an addi-tional five minutes, and Swatman, who ran the ses-sion in Bonney Lake Mayor Johnson’s absence, said, “If you are speaking for a group, you did not identify that when you started.”

Swatman did not let Crew continue his presen-tation.

Crew’s lawsuit argues that while residents or speakers representing themselves may have five minutes to speak during the council’s citizen com-ment period, “represen-

tatives recognized by the chair who are speaking on behalf of a group may have a total of 10 minutes to speak,” quoting section II (B) of the city’s meeting agenda for the night.

Crew claims in the law-suit he was denied his first amendment rights because Swatman disagreed with his viewpoints on marijua-na businesses.

The lawsuit also argues the council’s decision to enact a marijuana business ban was affected by Crew’s inability to continue repre-senting his clients.

Because of this, the law-suit asks the court to rule Bonney Lake cannot con-tinue its ban on licensed marijuana businesses.

In a later interview, Swatman disagreed with Crew’s argument that he represented a group of people, because the group Crew represented already spoke individually before Crew went up to speak.

“He was trying to double-dip the system,” Swatman said. “You don’t get all of the people to come up there individually and take their five minutes and then you come up and say, ‘I repre-sent these people that have already spoken and I want my 10 minutes.’”

“It is so the meeting can progress in order and keep the f low of the meeting going,” Swatman said.

At time of press, the law-suit against Swatman had not been served.

LAWSUIT FROM 1

Page 6: Enumclaw Courier-Herald, April 15, 2015

Too many people are working harder than ever, but they’re not seeing the benefits of the growing economy.

Housing prices keep increasing again. It used to be, you could work a summer job to save up enough money for a year of tuition. Those days are gone.

Gone also are the days when if you did a good job, you got a raise and a Christmas bonus.

Yet the econo-my is growing. It’s just that 90 per-cent of the ben-efits are going to a tiny percentage on top.

So how can we make our econ-omy work for

everyone, not just the wealthy few?To find what works, first you have to rule out what

doesn’t work.Not in theory. I want to look at what’s been tried and

shown to succeed or fail.Austerity economicsThis theory says when times are bad, the solution is to

dramatically cut spending.The trouble is that these cuts have hurt basics that citi-

zens need: schools, colleges, health care and highways.If you look at history, austerity only leads to more

austerity.Instead of endless cuts, FDR helped get us out of the

Great Depression by putting millions of people to work building parks, colleges, dams and bridges. We’re using those things today.

Supply side “voodoo” economicsThe fairy tale we’ve been sold for decades is simple: if

you cut taxes for the super-rich, the job creators, they’ll hire a lot of people and the wealth will trickle down to the middle class.

In reality, voodoo economics only padded the pockets of the Donald Trumps of the world while pushing more of the tax burden on average families.

Here are the facts: the wealthiest 400 families and big-gest corporate giants are sitting on trillions of dollars, much of it overseas. They aren’t spending it to create jobs.

It’s time we put a stake in the heart of voodoo econom-ics, once and for all, because it’s only hurt America.

Middle-class economicsListen to real economists, not politicians on television,

and they’ll agree on certain basic facts:• 70 percent of our economy is based on consumer

spending.• That spending comes from the middle class.• If average families can’t buy washing machines,

pickup trucks and homes, our economy crashes.I say it’s time to give middle-class economics a shot.We’ve given tax break after tax break to billionaires

and they haven’t spent it to stimulate the economy. The jobs don’t trickle down. It’s a fantasy, because people who already own five mansions and a fleet of cars don’t

Why have so many young men and women from the West flocked to join ISIS? What is the attraction of such a violent and brutal regime in Syria and Iraq?

Since I will be teaching a con-tinuing education class in May at Green River College on “Cults in America,” I’ve been reading up on

the topic of mass m o v e m e n t s . The best book I’ve found on the topic is Eric Hoffer’s “The True Believer,” written in 1942.

Hoffer, hav-ing analyzed the rise of Hitler,

Mussolini and the Japanese, had deep insights into human nature that help explain the modern day phe-

nomena we see in the Middle East today, and in Europe and America. The common links are: deep frustra-tion, a sense of meaninglessness, the desire for change and a tunnel vision focus on the future.

Muslim youths, especially if unemployed, suffer from frustra-tion with themselves. Joining a mass movement like ISIS appeals to them. It gives meaning to their existence.

Hoffer summarized it this way:

Political extremes feed on frustration

Students being limited by inadequate facilities

As a 2006 Enumclaw High School graduate, I urge the citizens of Enumclaw to support the upcoming school bond.

It was great to see at the last school district meeting that the high school will get a wonderful redesign if the school bond passes. Overall this will be an amazing upgrade for the school and our students. All of the

classes and programs will be greatly affected. For this letter, I want to highlight the specific area that per-tains to my field of work and what I love, the arts.

The bond will upgrade many fac-ets of the school, the classrooms, the library, the science labs, the music facility, auditorium, gymnasium and more. I am excited to see that the performing arts building will be completely rebuilt and have the new features that the students deserve. (If you are not aware of the current building issues, please read Darrell Miller’s letter to the editor: http://www.courierherald.com/opinion/

letters/297277271.html)I remember being in the auditori-

um when I was in high school watch-ing short films, drama productions and music concerts. These were all experiences that helped me choose what I do today. In those moments I realized the positive effect that the arts have on an audience. How a great film, song or play can bring you to tears, or to uncontrollable laughter. These are experiences we cherish and that we talk about with our friends and family. These are the experiences that we, as a society, live

There it sits. It has com-pany. It lies beneath that pile of mail you have on your kitchen counter. You may not open it. It’s too much trouble. You have got to find a stamp. You don’t really know what the entire hubbub is about.

As an American it’s your privilege. It’s your voice. It’s your ballot.

I was honored to serve this community in two capacities over the last 10 years. Elected in 2010 as a school board director and most recently, as a state representative and lead-ing as the ranking member on the House Education Committee.

Excellent educational outcomes rely on excep-tional education staff; something the Enumclaw School District has going for us. Great outcomes also rely on a facility that can meet the needs of our stu-dents and staff. This week you should have already received your ballot for the April special election with the Enumclaw school bond proposal.

I’ve heard some people

say, “…those cinder block walls were good enough for me, why are they not good enough for kids nowa-days?” The last of my three chil-dren graduated from Enumclaw High School last year. She would alternate between sweating and freezing, unable to concentrate at times because of the heat-ing/cooling system fail-ures.

You might ask, “Then why don’t you just fix those systems like we do at our homes?” The answer to that is simple; the costs of replacing the systems are less expensive than trying to fix them. Many of the replacement parts to the ancient boiler systems are not available for purchase any longer so they are cob-bled together by our facili-ties department with the hope they can limp along through another school year, thus leaving our stu-dents and staff in condi-tions none of us would tol-erate in our own homes or workplace.

We are at a crossroads

in our school dis-trict with aging facilities. Students today have access to technology that was never envi-sioned nearly 60 years ago when the facilities were c o n s t r u c t e d .

Employers today are no longer looking for the same type of skilled workforce they were looking for in 1960. Many manufacturing jobs have been sent over-seas or humans have been replaced with electronic devices that build what we as Americans, choose to purchase. Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing and Starbucks are not looking for employees to construct widgets, they are looking for people to program com-puters, market products, design airplanes and serve coffee. Nearly 70 percent of jobs today require a four-year, post-high school degree. In 1960, only 30 percent of jobs required post-graduate studies and most high school graduates went directly into the work force.

Don’t we want to pre-pare our kids for success?

To do that, we need to offer them the best opportunity to graduate with the skills that prepare them for life after leaving the Enumclaw School District. Those skills are demanding and require a facility and access to real work experiences in an up-to-date classroom. Whether a student chooses to go directly into the work force, attend a technical or community college or seek a four-year degree from a university, they need to be prepared. Isn’t our respon-sibility to teach them skills and prepare each and every one of them to be relevant and wanted by employers today?

I have read the voter pam-phlet and would implore you all to seek accurate facts. The truth is we have a unique opportunity to not increase our taxes and improve our schools along with our community by committing to voting “yes” in support of a better future for us all.

Go digging. Find that ballot in the pile of mail on your kitchen coun-ter. Be positive, proactive and engage in the privi-lege afforded to you as an

American and vote; yes for our kids!

Cathy Dahlquist served in the Washington state House

of Representatives ( 2011-15) and was a member of the Enumclaw School Board (2005-11).

for. The moments that take us out of our reality and transport us to the imagi-nary. These are the moments that I as a filmmaker try to replicate.

Early March of this year, I was award-ed Best International Horror Film at a film festival in Hollywood for a short film I edited last fall. It was an incred-ible honor and I am very proud, but in the big picture of my career, it is just a small step. I am still learning my craft and I still have a long way to go, but I can honestly say I wouldn’t be where I am at today if it wasn’t for the EHS video productions class. It was a place where I could experiment with film-making at a young age and it is where I fell in love with the process.

After seeing the audiences’ reaction to some of my films, I decided that this is what I wanted to do. I’m not sure where I would be without those experiences. Maybe not in filmmaking, but I’d still be creating art, in whatever medium that may be. It’s like my favor-ite quote from John Lennon, “I’m an artist, and if you give me a tuba, I’ll give you something out of it.”

As a community we expect great things from our students, but we are hampering their talents by putting them in a building that is comparable to Frankenstein’s monster, pieced together from generations of buildings in vari-ous states of disrepair. We have given them a tuba, but imagine if we gave them a school that they should have. A school not equal to what they need, but

equal to what they deserve. Then let’s see what great things they will produce.

I am in full support of the school district’s direction with this bond and I hope you are, too.

Ballots will be sent out soon. Please vote “yes” and mail it back by Tuesday, April 28.

Director for state’s prep activities offers support for district bond proposal

I am honored to provide you with my take regarding the impact that school facilities have on the students, the school community and other community members.

Facilities are the local gathering place for the community and how people feel more comfortable meet-ing in facilities that meet diverse and “modern” needs. That the school directors want to provide facilities that meet those needs because they understand the value of a connected community – one that supports their children in their athletic endeavors.

Above all, families want their chil-dren to participate in safe facilities. They also want to be able to watch them participate in a facility that is safe for all spectators in addition to offering amenities that are modern

whether they’re buying a hot dog, washing their hands or changing a diaper.

From the perspective of the state WIAA office, Enumclaw has a long, storied tradition of supporting its teams and individuals who represent the school, whether during regular season or postseason events. I’ve been in awe of the large number of com-munity members and students who attend these events proudly wearing their school’s colors and cheer as one for their Hornets. To me, the next log-ical piece of this picture is to provide athletic facilities in Enumclaw that will attract postseason events. This office is always looking for communi-ties that have the personnel, hotels/motels, restaurants and athletic facili-ties that provide a great site for post-season events.

Enumclaw has great potential to fill all of these needs.

Thanks, again, for allowing my support for the Enumclaw bond. I wish the entire community all the success in this effort.

Quality pitching has been the rule – certainly no excep-tion – as both the Enumclaw and White River fastpitch teams have raced to early success.

Through games of last week, Hornet squads on both sides of the county line had combined to post 14 victories in 14 games, posting some eye-popping numbers along the way. The teams had outscored opponents 172-5, rarely playing a full seven innings as the 10-run “mercy rule” generally came into play. Enumclaw had shut out its oppo-nents in seven of nine games.

At the heart of all that success was pitching that has left opposing batters dazed and confused.

That quality was best displayed April 6 and 7 during a pair of contests at Enumclaw High, when EHS pitchers Quinn Breidenbach and Madelyn Carlson tossed back-to-back, five-inning no-hitters. Carlson, a sophomore,

The Sumner Spartans baseball team’s winning league record came to an end last week when the team lost two straight games to South Puget Sound 3A league leader Auburn Mountainview.

The Spartans hosted the first game against the Lions April 8. Sumner fell 6-3.

The final game of the series was played at Auburn Mountainview Friday. The Spartans lost that game 2-0.

The two-game skid puts the Spartans in third place in the SPSL 3A behind the

Lions and the undefeated Bonney Lake Panthers.

Sumner has a 4-2 league record and is 8-3 overall halfway through the league season.

Sumner’s next game is scheduled for today, Wednesday, at 4 p.m. at Auburn against the Trojans.

The next home game for the Spartans is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, April 17, again against Auburn.

SPORTS ROUNDUPwww.courierherald.com Wednesday, April 15, 2015 • THE COURIER-HERALD • Page 9

By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

The Enumclaw High girls water polo team had a busy weekend in the Lakes High pool, playing five games against a talented field.

The tournament was not an official high school event, as it included some club teams, EHS coach Bob Averill explained. The club teams generally feature players from a variety of schools.

“The level of competition is typically a little higher than what we see at most area high school games,” Averill wrote in an email.

Saturday’s action for EHS began with a 14-2 loss to the Narrows Water Polo Club, consisting primarily of play-ers from Gig Harbor but also including players from Peninsula High and other schools.

EHS bounced back with a 12-5 victory over the host Lakes Lancers and wrapped up Saturday play with a 13-4 loss to Newport.

Sunday, Enumclaw lost 13-3 to Chehalem, Ore., before beating Mercer Island 9-5.

Enumclaw’s offense for the weekend was paced by Bailey Sexton and Hayley Sonneson, scoring nine goals and seven goals, respectively, during the five games.

EHS wins twice at tourney

struck out nine during her team’s 15-0 victory over the Lakes Lancers. Breidenbach, a junior who has already committed to play for the University of Massachusetts, followed a day later with a 10-strikeout performance during a 10-0 blanking of Sumner.

Not too many miles away, White River’s Kayla Smith – a senior who has twice been named the South Puget Sound League 2A’s pitcher of the year – was equally effective.

In leading her club to four straight wins, Smith pitched 14 innings, sur-rendered just two hits and did not allow a run. White River also features a one-two punch; the team’s fifth game saw Natalie Vollandt handling the pitching chores, striking out seven while allowing just one hit during the team’s 16-0 rout of Clover Park.

PITCHING FROM 8

Page 10: Enumclaw Courier-Herald, April 15, 2015

Don’t you love April 15? I love it so much I wrote my checks a week early! But I promise I didn’t mail them until I had to. I don’t love it that much.

But while I was writing my checks (yes, I had to

write two of them – my taxes due from last year and my first-quarter esti-mated taxes for this year) I started think-ing about how much more I would enjoy taking that amount of money to the guitar store. I could have a lot of fun for many years if I could have used that tax money for a new guitar (OK, I confess I tend to like the expensive ones). And that train of thought led me to the uncomfortable consideration of how my money shows what I really value and how things I like could get me to spend a lot of money without resenting

the necessity while things like taxes only get paid because I have no choice. And then I thought about how I give to the church, or to charities, to groups and missions trying to help people who need help, and I wondered if my giving reflected the value I place on those good things.

So many times we Christians think about

tithing as our “extravagant” measure of generous giving because we know that 10 percent is much more than most people give to charity and we can tell ourselves that we are really generous people! That works until I remember how Jesus gave up everything for us and then I realize I am not so generous after all and I have a long way to go to be like Jesus.

Jesus told a crowd one day that their hearts would be wherever the things they treasured were, so they should be careful to trea-sure heavenly things, the things of God, lest they be enslaved by the things they treasured. Jesus warned

them (and us) that no one can serve two different bosses and loving wealth, or comfort or status or possessions, will make us unable to love and serve God (Matthew 6:19-21). I think Jesus was right about how easily our loyalty gets divided; we get so accus-tomed to being comfort-able, to feeling secure, to having things (lots of things), we don’t even think about doing without things and we start to expect to give our tithe and have plenty for the things we want.

I think that is how we start to get attached to things here on earth, how we begin to “treasure” our

possessions and divide our loyalties without noticing that we are doing so. I don’t want my loyalty to Jesus divided, undermined by the things I think I want to possess. I don’t want to look at what I give to serve God, or to help my neighbors as a “duty” and an expense. I don’t want to discover someday that I thought things were more important than the people around me, or that the things I wanted motivated me more than my love for God.

So, I suppose I should thank the IRS for remind-ing me that giving can be

A tax-time lesson: giving can bring great joyChurch Corner

By Dennis BoxEditor

April 18 marks the 20th year of thor-oughbred horse racing at Emerald Downs and another evolution for the

sport in Washington that extends back to the opening day of Longacres Park in 1933.

The historical timeline of thoroughbred racing is a story of highs and lows with many wins and losses while the horses continued to travel around the 1-mile oval track.

The most recent turn came in November 2014 when the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe announced that an agreement was reached with Northwest Racing Associates to pur-chase the Emerald Downs racing facility.

PASSING THE TORCHFor an outside observer the change of

ownership appears to be little more than a series of LLC corporate names and titles.

Below those corporate names and titles are many people who worked, and at times fought very hard, to keep thoroughbred rac-ing alive in this state.

Topping that list is Ron Crockett. He was the president of Northwest Racing Associates and since the opening day of Emerald Downs he has lead the day-to-day operations of the track and the industry in this state.

On Sept. 21, 1992 Longacres Park in Renton closed its gates for the last time, ending a 59-year run. Longacres was sold to Boeing by the Alhadeff family, heirs of the track’s founder Joe Gottstein. According to the 1992 Longacres Park Commemorative Year Book, Boeing paid the Alhadeff family an estimated $90 million. The day it closed many thought the last thoroughbred had raced in Washington.

Crockett was not one of them.A look back at the many articles written –

beginning in 1990 when the announcement was made that Longacres would close, to 1996 when Emerald Downs opened – tells a complex story of many people working to keep racing alive, sometimes at cross-purposes.

The inside story of the last days of Longacres and the founding of Emerald Downs is far beyond the scope of this article.

The short version centers on Crockett – a 1957 Renton High graduate who in 1962 earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington.

His passion for the sport is evident

from this anecdote. He started going to Longacres when one of his college friends got a job working for the track. Crockett bought his first horse through a claiming race in 1974. The racing hook was set, but his first win did not come for 16 years with Saucy Affair in the 1990 running of the Tukwila Stakes.

That 16-year period fired a love of thor-oughbreds in Crockett and he would go on to become one of the leaders in a partnership that saved racing in the state.

Crockett, with other racing enthusiasts and investors, formed Northwest Racing Associates. The partnership was able to fol-low a thread through a labyrinth of legal, leg-islative and land-use issues to finally build Emerald Downs and bring live racing back to Washington on June 20, 1996.

Emerald Downs trainer Frank Lucarelli said, “There wouldn’t be any racing at Emerald Downs if it wasn’t for Ron Crockett. He’s the reason racing is here.”

NEW DAYThe Muckleshoot Indian Tribe was

involved in the state’s horse racing industry long before the ownership announcement

in 2014.In 2000 the Tribe had planned on pur-

chasing Playfair in Spokane, but the deal was never completed.

The Tribe purchased the 157-acres where Emerald Downs is located in 2004.

When the Tribe took over the day-to-day operations of Emerald Downs, Muckleshoot Tribal Council Chair Virginia Cross said in a release, “The Tribe’s long-standing support of the state’s thoroughbred racing industry continues with this transaction. It is the Tribe’s goal to keep the thoroughbred horse racing industry as a viable part of our state’s economy. Emerald Downs sits in the center of the Tribe’s historical homeland and this transaction makes it an important part of our economic develop-ment program.”

After purchasing the land in 2004 the Tribe began contributing to purses and, according to a release from the track, the enhancements have reached more than $11 million through 2014.

Since assuming ownership, Phil Ziegler, executive manager and president of Emerald Downs Racing, announced a 20 percent increase in daily overnight purses along with a ship-and-run program paying a $400 bonus to owners in the first start for their out-of-state horses at Emerald.

With the opening day Saturday, Director of Racing Bret Anderson said the number of horses on the grounds is already up from the previous few years.

The 2014 winner of the Longacres Mile and Horse of the Meet, Stryker Phd, is train-ing at Emerald with a repeat victory in sight for owners Jim and Mona Hour and trainer Larry Ross.

The 2015 jockey colony is shaping up to be one the strongest in years with the 2014 lead-ing rider Leslie Mawing back in the saddle along with the Emerald Downs’ all-time leading rider Gallyn Mitchell and two-time Mile winner Juan Gutierrez.

Crockett will serve as a consultant for the 2015 season and he still owns races horses.

The first race will break from the gate shortly after 2 p.m. Saturday. Once again the horses will run, the crowd will cheer and pictures of the winners will be taken.

Horse racing is back.

20th Season

When horse racing rose from ashes to win

Ron Crockett led the effort to preserve horse racing in the state as president of Emerald Downs and Northwest Racing Associates.

Horses

The marquee race each year at Em-erald Downs is the

$200,000 Longacres Mile, Grade 3. It is the top-billed race among a series of stakes featured at the Au-burn oval.

The 2014 winner of the Mile, Stryker Phd, will be attempting to become the third horse in the 80-year history of the Mile to win

the stakes back-to-back. The most recent was Sim-ply Majestic in 1988-89. Trooper Seven won in 1980-81.

Stryker, a 5-year-old Washington-bred gelding by Bertrando, is trained by Larry Ross and owned by Jim and Mona Hour of Bel-levue.

The Mile victory was the second for Ross, who won the race in 1985 with Chum Salmon.

Ross said Stryker is in

training at Emerald Downs and is pointing to the first installment in the Mile series, the $50,000 Gov-ernor’s Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs May 17.

The gelding ran two rac-es since the 2014 meet at Emerald. He ran second by a half length in the 1-mile $75,000 Big Bear Stakes at Santa Anita Oct. 30 to Re-gally Ready, winner of the 2011 Breeder’s Cup Turf Sprint, Grade 2.

He ran third Nov. 30 at Golden Gate in the Grade 3 Berkeley Handicap.

The 2014 Top Juvenile Male, Trackattacker, is working out at Emerald for five-time leading trainer

Frank Lucarelli. The 3-year-old son of Harbor The Gold will likely run in the derby series with the first race being the $50,000 Auburn Handicap at 6-1/2 furlongs May 24.

Pippa Bou Peep, 3-year-old filly and winner of the 2014 Barbara Shinpoch Stakes, is galloping for Charlie Essex.

JockeysEliska Kubinova

The jockey colony at Em-erald is teaming with inter-esting stories of the riders’ lives. Eliska Kubinova is one of the more unusual. The 26-year-old Czech Republic immigrant gave birth to her daughter, Emilie, six week ago. Saturday the 5-foot 3-inch Kubinova was working horses and prepar-ing to ride opening day.

She began riding about three weeks after giving birth.

“It feels good now,” Ku-binova said. “It was not so much fun having her, but now is fine.”

Last season at Emerald, Kubinova won 51 races, 18 percent, from 290 starts earning $519,594. Kubino-va, who came to the U.S.

when she was 21, jumped on her first horse when she was a toddler.

Beginning when she was about 5 years old she did “gymnastics on horses. I have always loved horses and have always been around horses.”

Kubinova said her moth-er, Naďa, first taught her how to ride and encouraged her to attend jockey school in Prague. Her mother rode show horses and jumpers and now watches all of her races online.

Kubinova said every win is special to her. Last season she won the Barbara Shin-poch Stakes aboard Pippa Bou Peep for trainer Char-lie Essex and rode Disrup-

tion in the Longacres Mile for Monique Snowden.

She credited both train-ers for helping her riding career.

Gallyn MitchellGallyn Mitchell, the all-

time leading rider for Em-erald Downs in wins, earn-ings and stakes, will ride his last season at Emerald Downs and hang up the colors on the final day of the meet.

The 53-year-old Enum-claw resident said after 34 years of riding and 2,710 winning rides the time has come.

“I still love the game,” Mitchell said. “This is my call. I don’t want to be forced or be broke up.”

Mitchell has won 1,387 races at the Auburn oval and in 2000 he rode 13 stakes winners. He has rid-den five winning horses in one day four times and won the riding title twice in 1999 and 2000.

Mitchell has been gener-ally injury free except for the last couple years. He had surgery on his thumb when a horse stepped on him and a heart attack at the beginning of the 2013

season. He returned at the end of the sea-son to ride and win a race aboard Chasing Pete on closing day. The victory continued his streak as the only Emerald jockey to win a race in every season at the track.

Once Mitchell decided to retire, he said he told is wife and agent, Denise, “I’m go-ing out with gusto. Since this is my last run, let’s go for it.”

Mitchell said he has no specific plans to announce currently except he will be spending more time with his two grand-children, ages 1 and 4, when the final ride ends.

Leslie MawingThe 2014 leading rider, Leslie Mawing,

will be the jockey to beat once again this season at Emerald.

Mawing took his second title with 102 victories at 25 percent with $1,225,402 in earnings.

He rode 11 stakes winners from 24 starts, which earned him the 2014 Top Rid-ing Achievement award. Among those 11 stakes was his first win picture in the Lon-gacres Mile aboard Stryker Phd.

The 41-year-old Mawing took the riding title in 2011 with 129 wins.

For his career Mawing has ridden 2,260

winners with $24,664,398 in earnings.He was born in Johannesburg, South Af-

rica. Francisco Duran

Francisco Duran plans to ride the full meet at Emerald Downs for the first time since 2010. The 37-year-old Stockton, Calif., native has had a successful career riding in Northern and Southern Cali-fornia.

Duran said he came to riding in his mid 20s, later than most jockeys, but the saddle suited him well.

He was third runner up for the appren-tice Eclipse award for the 2002 season af-

ter winning 202 races. Duran has won 1,354 races in his ca-

reer with $21,680,349 in earnings.During the 2010 Emerald Downs sea-

son he finished fourth with 75 wins with total earnings of $745,721.

“I did really good the year I was here,” Duran said. “You never stop learning in this business. You learn something new every day and even the little things can help you along the way.”

Duran said, “It is very difficult to explain, that winning sensation and crossing the wire first. It’s a natural adrenaline rush.”

By Dennis BoxEditor

The central nervous system of Emerald Downs is tucked

away behind Sally and Joe Steiner’s Quarter Chute Cafe – the racing office.

It is the one spot possibly least known to the public. Without the daily work going on behind the chest-high counter, the gates do not open either for the pub-lic or the horses.

Bret Anderson has been the director of racing, of-ten referred to as the rac-ing secretary, for the past nine years. Prior to taking the director’s position, he worked as the assistant rac-ing secretary beginning in 1990 at Longacres Park.

A race secretary’s job is filled with ad-hoc confer-ences, controversy and

finding a way to keep the peace in a highly com-petitive and emotionally charged atmosphere.

Anderson said his days are filled with a dizzying array of tasks. One of the most critical jobs is writing condition books for race days. Condition books list all the possible races for about a 10-day period. An-derson also is responsible for reviewing and approv-ing all the horses on the grounds. Emerald Downs has stalls for more than 1,200 horses.

He grew up in Rainier Beach and began working at Longacres when he was 16.

Anderson has spent four decades in horse racing. He began washing dishes in the cafe and later was a security guard and worked on the track maintenance

crew. He got his first job in the

race office from Longacres race secretary Glen Wil-liams, who Anderson said was one of his “best teach-ers.”

Coming up through the ranks has served Anderson well as director of racing.

When trainers are enter-ing horses for the upcom-ing races and the office buzzes with activity, An-derson is always right in the middle of the action.

“I like to talk to the horsemen,” he said. “There is a better line of commu-

nication if I am out there rather than in my office.”

The job of a racing sec-retary is not without some controversy and criticism, but Anderson said he fell in love with the track as a teenager and the affair is not over yet.

“When they offered me the job I said I would do it for one year and if you don’t like me I’ll go back to what I was doing before,” Ander-son said. “I’m still here.”

The race office takes a full staff to keep the op-eration running. The crew working with Anderson includes 18-year track vet-eran Jan McDowell, ad-ministrative assistant; Rene Harris, assistant race sec-retary; horseman’s liaison Dana Claxton; Vern Baze, stable superintendent; and Jan Baze, horseman’s book-keeper.

THEFT IN PROGRESS: Officers were dispatched April 4 to a Bonney Lake general store for a theft in progress. The manager of the store reported employees saw subjects select a bottle of alcohol, hide it in a coat and proceed to the restroom of the business. The manager believed the suspects were consuming the alcohol in the restroom. When officers entered the restroom, the suspects handed them the bottle of alcohol and said they were going to buy it later. The suspects appeared high on narcotics. After the sus-pects were detained, they admitted to their intention to shoplift the alcohol. Because the suspects didn’t leave the scene with the alcohol, officers could not arrest them for

theft. Instead, the suspects was trespassed from the store indefi-nitely.

STRONG ARM ROBBERY: Officers were dispatched April 4 to a Bonney Lake store off state Route 410 for a strong arm robbery. Reporting parties said a man, 18 to 20 years old, was hiding electronic merchandise in his clothes. A loss-prevention officer attempted to prevent the suspect from leaving the store and was pushed to the ground by the suspect. The suspect then was picked up by an accom-plice and left the scene.

STOLEN IDENTITY: A Bonney Lake resident reported to police April 3 someone using their social security number to file taxes. The

reporting party and her husband had their taxes prepared by a finan-cial adviser earlier that day and just learned her social security number had just been used. The report-ing party was advised to contact the BLPD and the Federal Trade Commission.

THEFT FROM VEHICLE: A Bonney Lake resident reported to officers April 1 seeing a vehicle prowl around her neighborhood. The resident noticed her work iden-tification card had been stolen from her car, as well as a set of keys and an insurance card. There was no damage to the car.

BUSINESS BURGLARY: A Bonney Lake business employee opened the business to discover the

cash drawer of the register missing, as well as some electronics from the office desk. The employee reported to officers that a briefcase lock also had been tampered with, although there was nothing of value in the briefcase. Officers suspect the thief went through a back door, pushing through a couple hundred pounds of items stacked against the door, which the employee used to rein-force the door prior to the burglary. A flashlight was found several feet from the door and was sent to detectives for analysis.

SUSPICIOUS NOISES: The reporting party told officers they heard loud noises coming from a

residential address. When officers contacted the resident at the location, they found the resident had three actives warrants out of Bonney Lake, one for assault and possession of dangerous weapons and the other two for driving with a suspended license. The suspect was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Puyallup jail.

NO REGISTRATION: After a random computer check, officers on West Tapps Highway pulled over a vehicle with registration tabs that expired in 2007. The vehicle was also registered as being a total insurance loss with no record. Officers contacted the previous

owner of the vehicle, who stated the vehicle was totaled seven to 10 years ago and had not seen the vehicle since. The current driver of the vehicle said he purchased it from an acquaintance in March 2015. The driver said he had no knowledge of the previous owner, and the previous owners said they did not know the current driver or how he got the vehicle.

The driver was released at the scene and issued a criminal citation for operating a motor vehicle with canceled registration and an infrac-tion for driving the vehicle without insurance.

The car was impounded.

Various pests are begin-ning their annual feasts as new growth emerges on our landscape trees and shrubs.

If a homeowner wishes to attempt to control a pest, there are three rules that must be followed: 1) Have the pest properly identified; 2) Determine the appro-priate treatment by asking nurseries and reading pes-ticide labels; and 3) Apply the recommended treat-ment at the proper time and at the recommended rate.

If these rules are not fol-lowed, the treatment will be wasted.

Help in identifying prob-

lems can be obtained by taking samples to Master Gardener clinics. Inviting a professional to visit your landscape will eliminate guesswork and will be the best chance for a proper diagnosis.

The following are signs of some of the more com-

mon insects and diseases that will be visible. Please note - most of these pests do not kill their hosts.

Insect DamageColorado blue spruce:

old dead brown tops. Pest: white pine weevil lar-vae have been feeding on the top leader in the past. Other branches may have turned up to form new tops. New growth that is under attack will soon begin to

wilt. Treatment: if reachable, cut out the drooping top below where the larvae are feeding and destroy them. Sprays are not practical.

Various spruce species: severe loss of interior needles and sections where branches have died.

Pest: most likely the spruce aphid – a tiny green insect that does its damage in late winter. Treatment: tap the foliage to dislodge insects onto an index card. If very tiny green spots begin to slowly move, you’ve got them! Hose small spruce

trees with high-pressure water or spray larger trees with insecticides. Note: any fast-moving insects are likely beneficial predators.

Flowering plums and cherries: curled or wrin-kled leaves. Pest: most likely aphids visible as tiny,

light-colored insects when the infected leaves are uncurled. Treatment: they can be sprayed but gener-ally are not worth worrying about.

Alpine or subalpine fir trees: ugly, deformed branches often curled like

a bird’s claw. Pest: balsam woolly adelgid – a devastat-ing insect pest of Fraser, alpine and sub-alpine fir trees. Visible when new growth begins as tiny white cottony tufts on the under-

SALEMarianne Binetti will

be making the following appearances:

• 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 21 at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma. The topic is “The Unthirsty Garden,” how to lower your water bills and still have a love-ly landscape. For more information visit FriendlyTacomaYards.org or call 253-798-4708.

• noon April 22 at Windmill Gardens in Sumner. “The Renovated Garden” is a tea thyme talk. Register at www.windmillgar-den.com. Fee is $5.

• 1 p.m. April 25 at The Barn Nursery in Olympia. Topic is “Pocket Gardening – in pots and in the Landscape.” Visit www.thebarnnurseryolympia.com for more infor-mation.

The third week in April is a good time to weed, feed and add plants to your peren-nial or shrub borders. Every weed you pull in April can mean thousands fewer weed seeds to deal with during the summer. Once you have your beds weed-free and ready to plant, consider grouping plants together to create theme or pocket gardens.

Placing Pocket Gardens

in the LandscapeJust as a pocket is

added to a small area on an item of clothing, pocket gardens are com-pact compositions of plants grouped in areas

like near the front door (the “welcome” pocket garden) along a perimeter fence (the border pocket garden) or under the shade of a large tree (a pocket garden for woodland or shade-loving plants.) You can also add a pocket of color to your landscape by choosing a theme, such as an all-white garden in the shade, a garden of heritage vegetables in a sunny bed or a miniature fairy garden that fits in a small sliver of space – like on top of a stump.

Choosing Plants for a Pocket Garden

Once you decide on a theme – let’s say a fragrance garden near the patio – jump start your pocket planting ideas by picking one plant as the focal point and keep add-ing to your collection by grouping more

sides of branches or on the trunk. Treatment: dif-ficult to control, but can be sprayed for as the new

growth expands and the tiny crawlers begin to hatch. Badly deformed trees should be removed.

Disease ProblemsFlowering cherries:

infected blossoms will die

and persist on the branches; small cankers may produce gumming and kill small branches that will be visible this summer. Pest: most likely brown rot, a com-mon fungus on cherries.

Treatment: can be ignored or fungicides can be applied beginning when blossoms begin to open, at full bloom and during petal fall. Very difficult to control.

Flowering plums and cherries: leaves with sev-eral small holes, some-times premature heavy loss of leaves. Pest: Coryneum blight or “shothole” fun-gus. Treatments: rake and destroy leaves. Fungicides can be applied at leaf fall in late summer and in the spring when flower petals have fallen and the leaves begin to emerge.

Dogwoods: new leaves wrinkle up and have brown splotches; can have prema-ture heavy loss of leaves. Pest: most likely dogwood anthractnose – a very com-mon fungus that infects many native and non-native dogwoods. Treatment: rake and destroy fallen leaves. Fungicides can be applied at bud break and contin-ued at 10- to 14-day inter-

vals until weather dries out. Resistant varieties are available at nurseries.

Japanese and lace-leaf maples: suddenly wilted foliage that hangs on the branches; may start with a single branch dying and spreading to others. Pest: possibly verticillium wilt – a soil-borne fungus that affects roots and spreads upward throughout a tree. Infected trees may be killed outright or may tol-erate the fungus for sever-al years. Treatment: prune out and destroy infected branches. No controls are recommended. This is a highly contagious dis-ease of maples and sev-eral other hosts. Dig out as many of the roots as

possible if removing a dis-eased tree that has become unsightly.

Personally, I am not anti-pesticide. But I choose to live with most of the pests unless they threaten the health of a plant or cause it to become an eyesore.

Themes and Planting Ideas

Fragrance Pocket Garden: A tall lilac can be the focal point and then add fragrant daph-ne, viburnums, or sweet box as medium-sized shrubs and low-growing but sweet-smelling hyacinths, heliotrope, petunias and alyssum to fill in at ground level. A fragrant pocket garden

could also work in a large con-tainer by using only the smaller annual plants and omitting the shrubs.

Shade Pocket Garden: Use bold foliage plants with white or cream markings on the leaves to create a striking pocket garden in the shade. Hostas, ferns and astilbe are perennials for the shade and white blooming annual flowers like begonias, lobelias and impa-tiens will add to a shaded pocket planting that will light up those dark areas of the landscape. The evergreen foliage plant called Japanese Aralia or Fastia japonica has large, pointed, tropical-look-

ing leaves. This Japanese shrub will survive even in dry, dark shade. Use the shiny green foliage as your backdrop to display color-ful coleus in pots and add golden lamium as a groundcover plant. Call this your pocket garden with jungle fever.

Sedum Pocket Garden: sedums and succulents are plants that store water in their plump leaves and they add texture and color to areas with good drainage and lots of sun. By grouping a collection of sedums in a dry area of the landscape you’ll have a pocket of happy plants without any drink-ing problems. Use a large boulder

as a focal point for your sedum pocket garden and the smooth texture of the rock will help show-case the interesting shapes of the succulents.

Pocket Gardening can be as simple as grouping dark purple heucheras and black mondo grass together for a gothic display or collecting different types of prim-roses to group together under the skirts of a rhododendron. Plants like company – and they will look better and grow happily when placed in pockets of space to form convivial groups.

have an urgent need to buy more things. They’re just as likely to stash that money in stocks or overseas, tax-free accounts.

Put more money into the pockets of the middle class, though, and they’ll spend it locally.

That’s why I’m supporting ideas that will grow our economy and give hard-working people a better shot at the American Dream.

Nobody who works full-time should be in poverty or getting food stamps. A higher minimum wage means taxpayers don’t have to spend as much on those things because people can stand on their own two feet.

After years of neglect, our country is falling apart. We need to put people back to work building things. Highways and bridges, schools and parks. For too long, politicians have delayed transportation and construc-tion projects.

There are still too many men and women in hard hats who are out of work. Putting them back on the job will not only create jobs and help our local economy, it will build a better Washington for our kids and grandkids.

Finally, it’s time to raise our minimum wage to $12 an hour and give people time off from work when they are sick. Both of these measures have passed out of the House of Representatives and I am proud to have voted for them. Unfortunately, these important bills that help hard-working Americans are stuck in the Senate. You should call your senator and find out why.

This won’t be easy. But nothing worth doing is easy.Let’s breathe new life into the idea that the American

Dream should be within reach of anybody who’s willing to study hard, work hard and follow the rules.

Rep. Christopher Hurst (Independent Democrat-Enumclaw) is a veteran 25-year police detective and commander of a 15-city Homicide/Violent Crimes Task Force. In the House, he is chairman of the Commerce and Gaming Committee.

Tourney champs

Sumner High sophomore Rhaven Dean launched a record-breaking throw Thursday afternoon, shatter-ing her school’s record in the javelin while also rocketing to the top of the state’s Class 3A leader board.

Competing against rival Bonney

Lake, Dean uncorked a throw of 135 feet, 6 inches. The impressive effort was well beyond her previous best of 119-11.

Dean’s throw was more than 7 feet better than the Sumner High record that had stood since the 2002 season,

when Mallory Tatman set a Spartan standard with a throw of 128-3.

Dean now sits first in the 3A ranks and third in the state, behind junior Josie Wentz of Zillah (138-7) and sophomore Kaelyn Shipley of Kalama (137-9).

Dean shatters Sumner record with 135-6 toss

Great demand: no more permits given for hiking the Wonderland Trail

Mount Rainier National Park Superintendent Randy King reported last week that the park is no lon-ger accepting reservation requests for hiking the Wonderland Trail for the summer 2015 hiking season due to overwhelming and unprecedented demand.

The park’s current reservation procedure provides that reservations received between March 15 and April 1 each year are processed in random order starting on April 1.

Prior to 2013, the number of wil-derness reservation requests received at Mount Rainier during the first two weeks of the reservation window aver-aged around 800. In 2013, that num-ber jumped to 1,400. In 2014, the park received 2,000 reservation requests during that same period. This year,

the park received approximately 2,600 reservation requests as of March 31, the majority of which are for hiking the Wonderland Trail.

The park holds approximately 30 percent of available backcountry space for walk-up permits. Hikers may attempt to get a first-come, first-served permit on the start day of the hike (or up to one day in advance of the start date). The best locations are the ranger stations at Longmire, White River and Carbon River.

A strong academic student, she is taking three Advanced Placement classes and has a 4.0 GPA. She is a member and previous offi-cer with the National Honor Society and participates in volleyball and track as a high jumper. She plans on attend-ing Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (New York) in the fall to pursue a career in nuclear engineering.

Keelan Wells, son of Sandra and Curt Wells of Enumclaw, was a recipi-ent from Enumclaw High School. He is a strong aca-demic student, taking Advanced Placement class-es, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Other activities at the high school include participa-tion in orchestra, track (pole vault) and as a math tutor. He is planning on attend-ing Linfield University in the fall to pursue a career in chemical engineering or pre-medicine.

“The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause.” Hoffer also states, “Faith in a holy cause is in some ways a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.”

Hoffer continues: “For men to plunge headlong into an undertaking of vast change, they must be intensely discontented yet not destitute, and they must have the feeling that by the possession of some potent doctrine, infallible leader or some new technique they have access to a source of irresistible power. They must also have an extravagant conception of the prospects and potentialities of the future. Finally, they must be wholly ignorant of the diffi-culties involved in their vast undertaking.”

Hoffer’s insights into human nature and mass movements clearly summa-rize the thoughts and feel-ings of thousands of idealis-tic and naïve young Muslim

youth who journey to Syria and Iraq to fight for ISIS.

These youth also desire change since their own situa-tions in Western Europe and America give them a sense of helplessness.

“The men who rush into undertakings of vast change usually feel they are in pos-session of some irresistible power.” Power and control are what these youth are craving.

“They (these youth) also crave to dissolve their spoiled, meaningless selves in some soul-stirring spec-tacular communal under-taking – hence their procliv-ity for united action.”

Joining ISIS after watch-ing its phenomenal rise last year must have inspired many youths to travel to the Middle East to start a new life with a new mission.

True believers also ignore

the past and the present and look solely to the future. Any suffering they may feel in the present is swept away by their hope of the bliss to come.

The present can be wrecked if necessary, because the future is all that mat-ters. These attitudes aptly describe the young who join ISIS. The bloody, gruesome murders of captives only more clearly demonstrate to

these impressionable youth the clear, single-mindedness of ISIS’ goals and the right-ness of the cause.

Human nature has not changed much since the insanity of World War II that Hoffer observed 73 years ago. Youth are driven to end the sense of meaninglessness and frustration in their lives. By joining a mass movement like ISIS, their individuality, doubts and failures can be

absorbed by a cause that is larger than they are.

True believers can become the anonymous members of a great cause – the restora-tion of Islam to its right-ful place in history. Their identities can be absorbed in the change they seek to bring about. Thinking only about the future, death and destruction do not matter to them. All that matters is the future bliss to come.

CONNECTIONServing Enumclaw and Black Diamond

April 2015

FROM THE DESK OF

Mike Nelson, Enumclaw SuperintendentDuring the past year, our Board of Directors studied and explored options

to ensure our district’s infrastructure will meet the needs of students and staff. After research, including an extensive Study and Survey of all of our facilities, Enumclaw High School and Black Diamond Elementary emerged at the top of the list.

After much community and staff conversation, the proposal that our Board of Directors is putting before you is to restore Enumclaw High School and rebuild Black Diamond Elementary School.

Their vision is to retain the same tax rate by renewing the expiring bond that built Thunder Mountain Middle School. This unique strategy will not increase the current tax rate. This means that patrons will pay the same rate that they are current-ly paying…one bond flows into the next bond without an increase to the rate.

If you have any informational questions, I encourage you to view the posted information on our website, www.enumclaw.wednet.edu.

During the past few months, I have made over 70 presentations. Many thought-ful questions have been generated by our community. As a result, we have created a large question and answer section that is also posted on the website. Please also feel free to call me, 360.802.7102.

In partnership with you,

4 Not a Penny MoreThis bond proposes renewing the existing bond that built Thunder Mountain Middle School. In October 2014, the tax rate on that bond was $1.60/$1,000 of home value. The proposed bond will be at the same $1.60/$1,000 home value rate. When the bond passes, the district qualifies for $18.1 million in state construction match money. The total budget would be $86,655,000.

4 The Proposal – Securing Students’ Future• Erect a two-story, secure and enclosed structure on the south side of the Enumclaw

High School campus that would replace aging classrooms, library, science labs, music facilities, auditorium and gym. It would dovetail into the 2000 remodel of the commons, offices and art and automotive wing creating a more secure facility for students, guests and staff.

• Build a new, two-story Black Diamond Elementary School at the current location, replacing the aging structure and bringing students and staff together under one roof for a safe and uniform learning environment. The Black Diamond plan also includes $1 million to renovate J.J. Smith Ele-mentary School to house Black Diamond students during construction; saving the district hundreds of thousands of dollars.

4 Supermajority NeededThe bond measure will need a 60% supermajority to pass. Once the measure is approved, the school district will finalize and begin to seek building permits. Construction at both facilities will begin in 2016. Black Diamond Elementary will be completed in September 2017. Enumclaw High School will be completed over two phases with phases completed in September 2017 and Septem-ber 2018.

Our taxes will remain flat as the old bond retires
