Coming up...• The Bonney Lake Medal of Arts nominations are due Jan. 4. The award is for an individual of any age or an organiza-tion that has made a significant contribution to and promoted one or more of the various arts in Bonney Lake – music, visual arts, performing arts, digital and liter-ary. The first award will be selected by the Arts Commission.• A New Year’s Eve cel-ebration is scheduled at the Enumclaw Senior Center, 1350 Cole St., at 11 a.m. with music by Community Blend.

With the end of 2015 right around the corner, it’s time to examine every-thing that happened over the last

364 days of the year before setting goals for the next.

For the Courier-Herald, that means taking a look at all the news stories that touched the Plateau, whether they be tragic deaths and senseless crimes or triumph over adversity and celebrations of enduring life.

These stories, and many, many more, define us just as much as we define them. How we move towards the future is determined by how we view the past; these are your stories, and these stories are you.

1. Bridge collapsed, killed Bonney Lake family

It took only a second for the state Route 410 sidewalk-widening project in Bonney Lake to go from going smoothly to ‘the worst trag-edy’ the city has ever seen.

On April 13, a chunk of the bar-rier wall on the SR 410 bridge over Angeline Road in the city fell and killed Josh Ellis, his wife Vanessa and their eight-month old son instantly as they drove in their truck under the overpass.

It quickly came to light that the demolition plan for cutting the bar-rier wall may not have been followed correctly, which resulted in the deaths of the Ellis family.

The Department of Labor and Industries fined WHH Nisqually, Highmark Concrete Contractors, Station Companies and Hamilton Construction/American Concrete a total of $87,000 for workplace safety violations and a wrongful death suit has also been filed against the construction companies and Bonney Lake,

but criminal charges relating to the deaths of the family members have not to be filed.

2. SR 410 closed in both directions at White River Bridge for several daysThe closure of the SR 410 White River bridge

greatly interfered with the lives of some Plateau residents when damage was found to the struc-ture on April 4 during a routine inspection.

The damage was done to a steel overhead support structure, and the bridge had to be closed and repaired before anyone was allowed

across, blocking the only passage many drivers take to get between Enumclaw and Buckley.

The state Department of Transportation originally announced closure dates to happen during weekends throughout the holiday sea-son, but plans were changed following a meet-ing between the DOT and Enumclaw, Buckley and Bonney Lake business owners.

The bridge is now scheduled to be closed day and night April 15 - 23.

3. Enumclaw man charged with third-degree child rape

Enumclaw resident Ryan Rothermel was charged with third-degree child rape on May 15.

Police arrested Rothermel after discover-ing he had sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl while living in a home with her, the girl’s mother and Rothermel’s girlfriend.

Rothermel was living in the home for approx-imately a year before he was arrested.

Police were alerted to the crime, documents stated, when a witness overheard Rothermel telling other people about his relationship with the girl.

Rothermel has a criminal his-tory, including attempted voyeur-ism with sexual motivation, fourth degree assault, second degree crim-inal trespass, resisting arrest and two counts of domestic violence court order violation.

4. Enumclaw-born baker competes on Cake WarsNot all the top news stories of

the year are dark and dreary; some happen to be quite delicious, as Enumclaw baker Natalie Vorpahl could say.

Vorpahl and her business partner Kristina Serfass at Baked Custom

Cakes in Seattle competed on the Food Network Channel’s Cake Wars last year, which was aired

July 13.The two bakers came away as winners of

the competition, which was all about wedding cakes. They received a $10,000 prize.

“It was kind of a pretty crazy experience with the cameras in your face constantly,” Vorpahl said about the experience. “It’s nerve racking enough making a wedding cake without being filmed.”

5. Lake Tapps refillBonney Lake and Lake

Tapps residents were incon-venienced last summer when Lake Tapps, after being emptied for repairs, was unable to be filled in time for the start of the sea-son.

This was due to the unex-pected, and record-breaking, lack of rainfall in the spring and summer season this year.

When Cascade Water Alliance drew down lake levels in

fall 2014 in order to repair the dykes that took water in and out of the lake, it was expected the lake would be refilled by Memorial Day weekend, which is when the lake typically opens for the recreational summer season.

Instead, the lake was open to all recreation nearly a month later in July, thanks to a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project that allowed more water to flow into Lake Tapps.

6. Washington’s smoke signalsAfter the Plateau was introduced to legal marijuana

when two retail stores opened in Buckley, the Courier-Herald examined the science, history and politics of the new Washington marijuana legalization in a four part series.

The series won first place in the “Comprehensive Coverage of a Single Issue or Series” category of the annual

Washington Newspaper Publisher’s Better Newspapers Contest.

Reporter Rebecca Gourley wrote on the continuing evolution of politics surrounding marijuana, focusing spe-cially on the reconsideration of drug convictions, and the history of hemp in the United States.

Reporter Ray Still focused on the science behind canna-bis and how it affects the body, and examined some myths and misconceptions about marijuana.

7. Enumclaw passes school bond If Enumclaw residents ever felt if their vote mattered, it

was probably when the Enumclaw School District’s $68.5 million bond issue passed by only four votes in May.

The four votes meant the bond issue received the

Every year there are sto-ries of communities coming together in the face of insur-mountable challenges or dev-astating losses only to come out stronger than ever on the other side.

They may not always make it to the larger newspapers or news stations, but these life-changing events define a community even more than a bridge closure or an empty lake.

1. Beau WardTen year old Beau Ward

and his friend Carter were burned in a gasoline fire May 22.

More than 60 percent of Beau’s body suffered burns, and he underwent multiple surgeries while he stayed in the hospital until the middle of August.

When he was able to return home, the Enumclaw com-munity (wearing pink, Beau’s favorite color) celebrated alongside the Enumclaw Fire Department and Enumclaw High School with a parade through the city.

The Go Fund Me for Beau raised more than its goal of $30,000, all of which went towards Beau’s recovery.

2. Tony RyanEnucmlaw police Sgt. Tony

Ryan’s cancer fight started

out as a small bump on his finger.

In the span of seven months, the small sarcoma turned into cancerous mass-es in both his left and right wrists, leaving Ryan in con-stant pain as he began to lose function in his fingers.

He was not expected to survive.

But after three surgeries, the cancer stopped growing, and eventually, he was 100 percent cancer free.

Ryan returned to the force with full use of his hands a few months later, saying he was glad for the support he received from his family and friends and the fact that he’d been given a second chance.

3. Greg GoralUnfortunately, not all can-

cer fights end with a good diagnosis.

Black Diamond police Cmdr. Greg Goral died Aug. 16 after a three year battle with appendiceal cancer, or a cancer of the appendix, an extremely rare cancer that accounts for less than 1 per-cent of all cancer cases.

The Black Diamond and Enumclaw communities gathered to support Goral at the annual Boots and Badges basketball game on April 12, but they weren’t the only ones

– Goral’s story resounded all around the state as donations came in from as far as Ocean Shores and Yakima to sup-port his fight.

Honorable Mention: Black Diamond cops

do good deedSergeants Brian Martinez

and Brian Lynch of the Black Diamond Police Department went above and beyond the call of duty when they responded to a domestic vio-lence call in late September.

The victim, a woman from outside of town, did not have any of her belongings or any money, and all of the near-by shelters were full for the night.

So the officers called the Enumclaw Cedar Inn and booked her a room for the night, with the Inn kicking in half the cost.

The story was sent to the Courier-Herald through Facebook by a reader.

“I can tell you that as the chief this is the stuff that makes you most proud,” Black Diamond Police Chief Jamey Kiblinger said. “It’s what our officers do when nobody is looking that you can see their character and selflessness.”

Top community stories of 2015supermajority, or 60 percent, of votes it needed to pass. After the April 28 Election Day, the bond was passing with just six votes, and then fell under the 60 percent mark by three votes, and then one vote, by May 4, before once again going over the line May 6.

The bonds will be used to renovate Enumclaw High School, including con-struction of a two-story addition to replace aging classrooms, library, sci-ence labs, music facility, auditorium and gymnasium and upgrading systems in commons, offices and art/automotive wing. The funds will also be used to build a new Black Diamond Elementary School.

Following suit, the Sumner, White River and Carbonado school districts are asking voters this coming spring to approve bond measures as well.

8. Enumclaw woman murderedEnumclaw resident Nicole Elizabeth

White went missing in early June, and after a two-week long search, was found killed outside Kapowsin.

Graham resident Jonathan Daniel, who was out with White that night, was arrested and charged with murder in the second degree. Data stored in the ignition interlock device in his car and cell photo records place Daniel where detectives found White’s body.

Charges were increased in November to first-degree murder, because forensic analysis revealed White was beaten to death.

Daniel pleaded not guilty to these charges.

9. Sumner School District’s hard climb to top five

Two years ago, the Sumner School District made the goal to be ranked in the top five top performing school districts by 2017.

With the halfway mark behind them, it looks like the district is remaining on task with their goal, improving from 37th in the state to 17th.

The rank was given to the district by School Digger, a free school-ranking ser-vice that compares school and school dis-trict state assessment scores to determine which are the best (and the worst) in the nation.

Staff said the improvement comes from the changes Superintendent Sara Johnson brought in to the district, especially chang-es relating to academic support students receive and professional support teachers receive.

10. Incumbents lose electionsAfter a fiery campaign season, incum-

bents in both the Enumclaw and Black Diamond city councils lost their re-elec-tion bids in November.

In Enumclaw, challenger Kim Lauk beat incumbent Darrel Dickson with 56 percent of the vote.

In Black Diamond, challenger Brian Weber took Council Position 4 from Craig Goodwin with 68 percent of the vote, and challenger Pat Pepper unseated Ron Taylor with similar numbers.

Over in Bonney Lake, former Councilman Mark Hamilton decided not to run for re-election, and Justin Evans has taken his place, winning 60 percent of the vote against David Baus.

Resolutions are for people with goals, a plan and a purpose in life. Like the kid in the front row in third grade who always raised his hand because he

knew the answer, and Mrs. Marsupial with her bride of Frankenstein mop would crack a scary smile and all the brats in the back would pretend to gag (not me of course — I never got in trouble).

Resolutions are for the mature, the type of humanoids who are always on time and know how much money is in their check-ing accounts, and it’s not because the bank just sent a

“you’re going to jail you bum” message. They make to-do lists and do things.

My to-do list plan is to scribble a list with such poor penmanship that an hour later I will have no idea what any of the jobs and goals could possibly be. The only part of a to-do list that is important is making the list and bragging that you did it.

I am sure the little dweeb in the front row, who is now a multigagillionaire with lots of dark socks, makes a New Year’s to-do resolution list at 6:35 a.m. Jan. 1 – a legible one.

Every year I make a New Year’s resolution to never make resolutions. R words like resolution, responsibility and reality make me limp.

This year my plan is on New Year’s Day to make our traditional stuffed mushrooms, Swedish meatballs with homemade pasta, three-cheese bread, brown-butter and roasted garlic asparagus and a fudge swirl trifle dessert. I will watch “The Searchers”, a football game, go to sleep for two hours, wake up and it will be March.

That Einstein was good at math.Since it is going to be 2016, I decided for no logical rea-

son to toss out my resolution to make no resolution and make some resolutions.

Here are a some of my top to-dos or not to dos.I am going to be less cheery and more mature. No more

Mr. Sunshine with intoxicated dancing cows singing, “My Little Buckaroo.”

I am going to be more honest with myself and others about my hair, and their apparent hair. I realize I have been blessed with a fleecy, follicular noggin and I won’t make fun of the apparent hair wanna-be-like-me(s) who spray hirsute reincarnation on their shiny heads.

I can keep this resolution. Here is an example: “Sure

task this year.The contingent of Democratic and Republican

lawmakers met for a f inal time in 2015 on Monday, adjourning without agreement on the contours or

content of a proposal to put forth in the 2016 ses-sion.

They plan to gather again Jan. 4 — one week before the session begins — with hope but uncer-tainty of reaching an accord.

“We’re still negotiating. We’re taking our task very seriously,” said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, who is one of the lawmakers involved in the work group. “What we’re trying to do is craft something that can be well-received in the Legislature.”

What this means is the Legislature will begin

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are cre-ated equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien-able Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness….” These words make up the heart of who and what America is as a nation. But what is this pursuit of happiness? What does it mean?

Originally, Thomas Jefferson, the chief writer of the Declaration of Independence, had gotten the idea of these natural, unalienable rights

from the English philosopher, John Locke. But instead of using the pur-suit of happiness, Locke described those natural rights as being life,

liberty, and property. So why did Jefferson change property into pur-suit of happiness?

While “Life, liberty and property” are all tangible, based upon qualities that are easily measured, pursuit of happiness is more intangible and dif-ficult to define.

According to a footnote in Edward S. Corwin’s book, “The ‘Higher Law’ Background of American Constitutional Law”, “The phrase ‘pursuit of happiness’ was prob-ably suggested by [eminent the 18th English jurist, Sir William] Blackstone’s statement that the law

2016 just as it did in 2015: in contempt of a Supreme Court order demanding a blueprint for amply funding pub-lic schools by the 2018 deadline set in the McCleary case.

In add it ion, a $100,000-a-day f ine lev-ied by justices in August continues to pi le up. Thursday will mark the 127th day of sanctions which amounts to $12.7 million.

Any not ion those sanctions will push law-makers toward a more rapid conciliation hasn’t occurred as some law-

makers, including a couple members of the McCleary 8, think the Supreme Court exceed-ed its authority. There is resistance to any action perceived as placating justices.

“Our focus has been on doing the right thing for the education system not on responding to the Supreme Court,” said Rep. Chad Magendanz, R-Issaquah. “The f ines are not really a f ine. No one will drop a bill to pay the f ine.”

Though the group is not “fixated on the f ine issue, there are mem-bers, and I am one of them, that would like us to be out of contempt,” sa id Sen. Christ ine

Rol fes , D-Bainbridge Island.

To recap, the McCleary decision dealt with the entire tab for the basic education of a million students.

Lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee f igured out how to spend bil lions of additional dollars on things like supplies, all-day kindergarten, small-er class sizes and buses in the last two state bud-gets.

But they are still wres-tling with how to end the reliance on local prop-erty tax dollars to pay teachers, principals and staff. It will require a new method of compen-sating school employees with state funds. That

wil l cost money and could see some residents paying new or higher taxes.

T h e D e m o c r a t-control led House and Republican-run Senate couldn’t f ind a solution in this year’s record-set-ting 176 days of session. And their leaders don’t plan on finding one in 2016 — an election year session — either.

Since September, the work group, with help from two of Inslee’s top aides, is deciding what information must be gathered next year so lawmakers are able to take some tough votes in 2017.

They are not nego-tiating levy rates and

sa laries but a t ime-l ine for col lec t ing data, explained House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, who is in the group.

“If we could agree on a plan we could act early in session,” he predict-ed. “It shouldn’t be that

hard.”But it has been so far.Political reporter Jerry

of nature boils down to ‘one paternal precept, that mans should pursue his own true and substantial happiness.’”

It should be clear that Jefferson thought very carefully about this use of words when he made the change to Locke’s original thoughts.

But what is happiness? It’s an emotion tied to many things. As Mary Pipher PhD noted in her book “Reviving Ophelia”, “Happiness is largely a matter of contrasts.” We may be healthy, wealthy and wise, but unless we see ourselves better off than others or to our lives in the past, it’s a feeling we rapidly lose under stress. Dr. Pipher also noted that, “Happiness comes not from using others, but from being useful.”

It seems that happiness depends on how we com-pare our mental states to things outside ourselves. It also comes from find-ing ways to serve others rather than just serving our own wants and needs. It seems there are two words to describe these precepts: gratitude and caring (for the needs of others).

One of the things that struck me as paradoxical is, that when asked what would make the super rich – the .1 percent happy – their answer was “20-30% more income.” Obviously, these super wealthy who were surveyed were both unable to look to their pasts to see how far they had come, nor, were they able to turn their focus to the needs of others.

This time of the year, when we give and receive

presents, and expect our-selves to be happy “because everyone else is” is also often a time for many when their expectations of hap-piness do not match reality. That contrast is depress-ing. There’s a wistful desire for something more, just beyond our reach.

There are two thoughts I will leave you to con-sider. Rather than pursu-ing happiness, perhaps we should, as the Apostle Paul noted in his letter to the Philippians (4:11), to seek contentment: “I am not

saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”

To lower our expecta-tions a notch from pursuit of happiness to content-ment could help relieve our dissatisfaction and depres-sion.

The final thought is that should we continue to fol-low Jefferson’s goal of the pursuit of happiness, we should see how far we’ve grown, and where we were

in the past compared to now. Then we should get out of our self-centered boxes, and look to the needs of others. Serving others and being useful is a lot surer road to attaining happiness.

Thomas Jefferson set the tone for the nation when he crafted the ringing words of the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps we can obtain his goal by expanding our definition of “pursuit of happiness.”

Go on the SoHaPP journey, and make clearing your mind an important part of your day, every day.

Our minds are constantly thinking, moving from one thought to another often without a particular focus. We may see, hear or smell something that triggers a memory that then triggers a negative emotion. Before you know it, you are in a tail spin of negative self-critical or other depressive thought pattern. It happens so insidiously you are not even aware it has occurred. This is our brain’s natural inclination towards negative thinking called negativity bias. We developed this bias when we were mostly nomadic and had to be hyper aware of our surroundings lest we get eaten. Practicing clearing your mind helps to counteract this bias.

We are often overstimulated with input. We can choose to bring stillness and peace to the brain. Simple breathing, visu-alization techniques, and focusing on the sensations of your body helps clear the mind, improves sensory processing and boosts productivity. Here are some easy ways to start. Begin with 3-5 minutes, then increase to perhaps 20 minutes. You

can do your practice anytime during the day and as often as you like. For best results though, be consistent with your practice.

Three Different Ways to Observe Your Breath: Take an easy seat. Close your eyes, and observe your breath. What is its quality? Is it smooth or jagged, short or long, easy or hard? Just observe without judgment. Your mind will wander naturally; that’s what it does. Let it, and favor your breath. For cleansing breaths, close your eyes and take a deep breath, and then say silently to yourself on the inhale “I am” and on the exhale “calm”. Or, try pausing between actions by taking a breath. For example, when someone asks you a question, pause first and take a breath, then respond.

Observe Your Thoughts: Close your eyes and watch your thoughts as though you were watching a movie, and you can even imagine sitting in a theater while doing this. When you feel like you have become attached to a thought and you start to drive or follow a thought pattern, take a breath and pull back.

Moving Meditation: Go for a walk. Really focus on each step. Focus on the impact of your foot on the ground. Is the ground hard or soft? What part of the foot hits the ground first? Move slowly and with intention. For example, think “I’m stepping forward now, my heel is touching the ground, and the ground feels soft.”

Practice Being Mindful: Studies show when you practice mindfulness, you increase your ability to perceive more. It’s easy to do. Choose a repetitive task you do often, then focus your attention on your senses, what it feels like, what it smells like. For example, eating mindfully. What colors are on your plate? How does it smell? What is the texture of the food in

your mouth? What are the flavors? Move slowly and deliber-ately. When your mind wanders, bring it back to your senses.

Reap Amazing Health Benefits: Studies show practicing meditation can increase immune function, decrease pain, decrease blood pressure and hypertension, lower cholesterol level, increase production of the anti-aging hormone DHEA and more restful sleep. Your practice can also help men-tally and emotionally as well by an increase in positive emo-tions, decrease of depression and anxiety, reduction of stress, increase of focus and attention, and improvement of memory, creativity and problem solving. It even changes the structure of your brain by increasing your grey matter and the volume in areas related to emotion regulation and self-control, as well as cortical thickness in areas related to paying attention.

Makes You Wiser and More Social: The practice of observ-ing your thoughts instead of immediately acting on them builds skill in being less reactionary. You are able to respond to crisis from a grounded and thoughtful place. This is the time you set aside to sort through the stuff (thoughts, feelings, per-ceptions) accumulated throughout the day, and then be able to move forward more balanced.

We often have little control over what happens in our day to day life, but we can develop control and ease over HOW we experience our life and HOW we respond to it. Clearing the Mind helps develop these skills. Join us for a free three-part introduction to Meditation and Clearing the Mind at the Enumclaw Library from 6-6:30 p.m. Monday evenings Jan 4, 11 and 25. Come to just one session or all three.

November’s SoHaPP practice was Expressing Gratitude and December’s was Creating Positive Experiences. Until March, LINCCK will suggest a new SoHaPP practice each month to further develop vibrant well-being. Information is at www.SoHaPP.org and at FaceBook ‘SoHaPP’. Own your happiness. Take intentional steps to build vibrant well being, just by clear-ing your mind.

OBITUARIES

Dawn PattersonJanet Paulson

The annual Holiday Fantasy gala was once again a smashing success, as corporate sponsors and 300-plus attendees accounted for more than $132,000 in dona-tions to the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation.

The event is put together in early December every year and serves as the Foundation’s primary source of income. This year’s gala, staged Dec. 4 at Emerald Downs, was the 25th annual affair.

Aside from the silent and live auctions, a highlight of each year’s Holiday Fantasy is the Fund An Item event, which allows companies and individuals to put money toward one of the Foundation’s worthy causes.

This year’s Fund An Item beneficiary is a replacement Care Van, which will benefit those in need throughout

Enumclaw, Buckley, Carbonado, Wilkeson and Black Diamond. The van is a much-needed resource for those requiring health-related transportation, like trips to see a doctor, pick up a prescription or visit a therapist.

Rene Popke, the Foundation’s executive director since 2011, said the Care Van provides approximately 250 rides per month, operating Monday through Friday.

A week after Holiday Fantasy, the Foundation’s board of directors placed an order for a new van. The price tag, Popke said, is about $65,000 for a van equipped with a hydraulic lift and the capability to hold two wheelchairs and an additional nine passengers.

The van received a healthy boost from the local Rotary Club, the Enumclaw Foundation and Mutual of Enumclaw; each of those entities contributed $10,000. The rest of the money came from dozens of contribu-

tions at Holiday Fantasy ranging from $5,000 to $50.“Our mission is to create a healthier community,”

Popke said, noting that the Foundation is active with endeavors like Full Bellies, which provides a weekly meal to those in need; a hot meal program that delivers food to home-bound senior citizens; and a program that provides backpacks of food to school-age children every Friday.

Aside from raising money, this year’s Holiday Fantasy event also served to recognize those who have been around from the beginning. Singled out were commu-nity-minded citizens Margaret Rector, Jim and Betty Puttman, Judi Puttman, Sherry Lorde Smith, Doug Egan, Bette Zech, Sofia Bode, Una Waldron and Kim Rector. Also recognized were Vikki Gramann and Nancy Merrill, who were part of the first event.

that green spray will work. Don’t worry about the burning and skin peeling. Soon you will look just like me.”

When I hear a politi-cal leader use the term, “We’re just going to move forward”, I resolve not to become a third grader and fall down on the floor gig-gling. I promise to take those statements as seri-ously as I do the sultry voice whispering from the grocery store check-out machine, “Welcome valued

customer.”I resolve to be nicer to

Ms. Vegan and I will try to refrain from calling her Ms. Vegan. I will stipu-late Ms. Vegan knows the name of two cows, which is material to the matter of a double bacon-cheese burger, despite the over-riding fact Ms. Vegan does not know the name of Old McDonald’s piggies, E-I-E-I-Oooo (and Ms. Vegan is the finest humor writer an editor could hope for).

Now for a late breaking special report.

I found some two pock-et stripy shirts Sunday,

which I am certain is an omen similar to a bucket of rocks falling out of the sky whacking me on the brainpan. Allow me to leak a little secret, I won’t be the only one wearing stripy two pockets in the office. It’s going to be a 2016 Courier-Herald fashion trend. Let’s try to keep a lid on the fad excitement for now.

When New Year’s Day arrives let’s raise our glasses and toast the town with a few guzzles of out-of-date buttermilk. That will lift the fun ball as high as it goes.

Happy New Year to all.

The sporting highlight of 2015 came in February when the Enumclaw High boys wrestling team hoisted the Class 3A state championship trophy.

The EHS crew, under the guidance of coach Adam Eilers, took top honors dur-ing the two-day grappling extravaganza at the Tacoma Dome.

Showing just how tough the team was, a pair of Enumclaw wrestlers advanced to the title round of the 126-pound weight class. Senior Hunter Haney took the championship with a victory over teammate Jake Treece. Also near the top of the chart were third-place finishers Kyle Opland and Quinton Southcott; Kione Gill was fourth.

Individual titles were also found in the girls state meet, where Enumclaw’s KC Moulden and White River’s Hannah Lewandowski were crowned state champions.

It was a two-title year for Moulden, who also captured the shot put title at the 2015 state track and field meet.

Also making it a banner year for area athletes: the White River High fastpitch team advanced to the Class 2A title contest, falling short and returning to Buckley with the second-place tro-phy; the EHS gymnastics squad, which placed second at state; White River girls basketball, which continued a run of excellence with a fourth-place finish at the 2A hoop tournament; and the Bonney Lake High football team, which earned the first playoff victory in school his-tory and advanced to the 3A’s Elite Eight.

SPORTS ROUNDUP

Two students were hon-ored with Student of the Month awards when mem-bers of the Buckley Kiwanis Club gathered Dec. 17.

The following student descriptions are provided courtesy of the Kiwanis Club.

The White River High School Student of the Month is Allie Siewert.

Allie Siewert is an amaz-ing student and one of the most dedicated when it comes to serving her community. Among other service projects, Allie has served as the chair per-son for the FFA “Adopt a Family Program” and November blood drive. She has also helped serve families in our communi-ty through Thanksgiving box collection, Christmas gift building through World Vision, and the Back to School Clothing Drive. Finally, Allie has continued to give back to White River by serv-ing as a teacher assistant at Foothills Elementary where she also tutors fifth- and sixth-grade students and is working to build an Agriculture Education Program.

The Glacier Middle School Student of the Month is Nolan Carthum.

Nolan has been in the Boy Scouts since first grade, he currently holds the rank of Life, which is right before Eagle. Responsibilities

include preparing and facilitating Scout meetings and activities. One of the key events that their troop participates in each year is the Big Give.

He also participates in a youth group at Wabash Church. His favorite part about it is “being able to be a kid with my friends.” After school, Nolan plays basketball.

Something about Nolan that adults might not know: Sometimes he wishes they knew he has had a 4.0 since sixth grade because it’s hard work.

Students honored by Kiwanis Club
