Bonney Lake and Sumner Courier-Herald, November 02, 2011

By Daniel NashStaff Writer

The Pierce County Council unanimously passed the amendments to its Comprehensive Plan and along with it amendment U3a, the Orton Junction amendment to the city of

Sumner’s Urban Growth Area. The Seven Principles agreement between the City of Sumner, Cascade Land Conservancy and Orton Farms LLC was also voted in.

The final vote came after more than two hours and two rounds of public testimony: one preceding the vote to add Amendment

U3a and the Seven Principles agreement to the Comprehensive Plan ordinance, and one preceding the vote on the ordinance itself. Advocates for both sides of the issue gave strong arguments from a myriad of angles.

“Not only are these 126 acres prime agricul-tural land, but all of this land in Pierce County is prime agricultural land,” Tim Trehemovitch of FutureWise said. “It’s some of the best

A cannonball against domestic violence

County Council approves Orton

SEE ORTON, PAGE 10

By Brian BeckleyStaff Writer

With an unexpected passage of a memo of understanding locking in a 5 percent contribution from landowners, a handful of Eastown property owners now have what they say they need to get other owners on board to help pay their share of a new sewer system.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $4 million, making the contribu-tion form property owners about $200,000.

The council passed the measure 5-2 with Councilmembers Mark Hamilton and Tandy McKibbin voting against it.

“What that means now is I can talk to the property owners with a little more certainty,” said Roger Watts, owner of Emerald Links Driving Range.

Watts is listed as the managing member of the Eastown Sewer Development Association, LLC,

Just four years after opening the 15 million gal-lon peaking storage tank off 96th Street, the city of Bonney Lake is preparing to send divers in to inspect the tank, which appears to be losing water at a faster-than-expected rate.

“It’s leaking more than a standard concrete tank should,” Public Works Director Dan Grigsby said Wednesday.

The $6 million tank was opened in October 2007 and is designed to hold water for times when the draw on the city’s water system is more than the wells can produce, which Grigsby said hap-pens approximately three weekends per year in the summer.

Unlike the city’s four other storage tanks, the peaking storage tank is constructed of concrete, so some leakage was expect-ed.

“In any concrete tank, unlike a steel tank, water percolates through the con-crete,” Grigsby said.

But Grigsby said the amount of water seeping through the tank appears to be more than expected and divers will go into the tank and inspect the structure’s 60,000-square-foot foot-print and the seals between the concrete sections.

Grigsby said after clean-ing the tank, the divers would squirt a dye into the water and follow it to see where there are leaks.

“It’s more than normal, but is it more than is accept-able?” he said of the water loss. “That’s the question we have to figure out.”

If leaks are found, the next step will be to decide what — if anything — can be done.

“The question is how much can we fix this prob-lem?” he said. “But first we have to figure out what the problem is.”

Grigsby said the usual

warranty on a public works project is one year, mean-ing any repairs are on the city’s dime. But if flaws are found in either the design or the construction, the companies responsible may still be liable.

The issue surfaced dur-ing the Oct. 25 city coun-cil meeting as the coun-cilmembers discussed a contract to inspect the city’s water storage facilities.

Grigsby said a finding from state health inspec-tors regarding the time since the tanks had been inspected prompted the city to put out a request for bids to inspect and clean the tanks.

The state recommends water tanks be cleaned every five years. According to Grigsby, only two of the city’s tanks presently meet that standard.

The contract approved at the meeting will cost the city $18,455. The money will come from the $35,000 water fund budget.

The contract passed 4-2 with Councilmembers Laurie Carter and Dan Swatman opposed and

Councilmember Dan Decker abstaining.

Tooth enamel may be the hardest tissue in the body, but it is still susceptible to the ero-sion that occurs as a result of brushing teeth too hard. Ex-cessive consumption of fruit juices and soft drinks can also lead to erosion of the tooth sur-face, which begins with gum recession and tooth sensitivity. The tooth enamel will eventu-ally show signs of erosion that usually takes the form of hori-zontal notching at the gumline. Eventually, the enamel may wear through, and the underly-ing dentin becomes exposed, which leads to severe tooth sensitivity. Fortunately, this problem can be adequately addressed with resin bond-ing, which fills in the eroded tooth with a resin material that exactly matches the original tooth color. P.S. To circumvent abrasion caused by tooth-brushing that can lead to enamel erosion, patients should use soft-bris-tled brushes and avoid exert-ing too much pressure on the handle of the toothbrush.

Election day is right around the corner and while the majority of races in Bonney Lake are uncontested this year, there is a single head-to-head matchup featuring a long-time political activist and a member of the city’s plan-ning commission for one of the two open seats on the council.

Quinn Dahlstrom, who has been active in city politics for a long time is facing off against Katrina Minton-Davis, a member of the planning commission and chair of the Sumner-Bonney Lake Relay For Life committee.

The Courier-Herald sent each candidate the fol-

lowing questions. Their answers are printed below.

Tell us a bit about your-self; What do/did you do for a living? What expe-rience do you have that qualifies you for this posi-tion?

Quinn Dahlstrom: I am a Retired Freight Auditor and Freight Customer Service Rep. I also served in the US Navy 45 years ago, great training in how to work and get along with people. As a Customer Service Rep I had to deal with clients and carriers and get their bills paid — lots of tact had to be used and a great attitude.

Katrina Minton-Davis: I work as a sales representa-tive for a living. My expe-rience as a leader in the

community is what quali-fies me for this position. I have been the president of the Bonney Lake Chamber of Commerce, I have been the event chairperson for the Bonney Lake Sumner Relay For Life, and have volunteered for a number of roles in the communi-ty. I am also currently on the Bonney Lake Planning Commission and am aware of many of the challenges the city is facing right now. In addition to those things, I believe I am the best “fit” with the current City Council. We need to figure out how to work together to do what is in the best inter-ests of the citizens and not spend valuable time mak-ing unnecessary critical comments. It’s time to take

action instead of pointing fingers at others.

Why do you want to be on the city council?

Q.D.: 2001 started my desire to be on the council-however it was for all the wrong reasons. Now I have learned through being on the planning commission for eight-and-a-half years what it entails to be a good commissioner and I don’t see how the council can be far from that — except my vote will be for the bet-ter of the community. The citizens are the city — and they have depended on me in the past — and I will try to do what I can do for them in the future.

K. M.: I want to be on the City Council so that I can help to shape the future of Bonney Lake. I’ve been on the Planning Commission for 6 years and have had the pleasure of reviewing and recommending items to the city council. It’s time to take the next step and be the decision-maker. Bonney Lake is a great place to live and I want to make it even better.

The top issue facing Bonney Lake, like all cit-ies, is falling revenues. As

a council member, what will be your priorities if budget cuts are necessary and how would you rec-ommend dealing with the shortfalls?

Q.D.: I am not an accoun-tant, but I am a homeown-er and had to handle the household budget for the past 45 years. I would need to find out in what direc-tion the Mayor thinks the cuts should be made and weigh in on what will do harm to the citizens and what will not.

K.M.: Falling revenues is an issue facing all of us. Hard decisions have to be made. I’m not afraid of having to make those deci-sions. It’s difficult to say where cuts could be made without looking closely at the budget. Priority should be placed on public safety and essential services.

The city council is pres-ently pursuing a Utility Latecomer’s Agreement with Eastown property owners as a way to install a sewer system in that sec-tion of the city. Do you agree with this plan? Why or why not? If not, what do you think is the better method?

Q.D.: The council has been on this same track for a long time. I think it is a good idea in that all that comes into the area will wind up paying their full share of the sewer costs. This could eliminate the present sewer owners (citi-zens and businesses on sewer) to get their invest-ment back.

K.M.: There are a couple of questions to ask here. First, can the city afford this? We’ve already said that the city is experiencing falling revenue. Where will the funds to install a sewer system come from? The second question, is how is this benefitting Bonney Lake citizens? It will help the Eastown property own-ers, but I don’t see how it will benefit the rest of the citizens. My opinion would be to wait for a developer to come forward that is ready and willing before spend-ing funds that the city may not recoup for decades.

The city is presently working with the YMCA to build a facility in the for-mer WSU Demonstration forest. Do you support this process? Why or why not and what would you do differently?

Q.D.: I do not support the YMCA in the City of Bonney Lake. From what I have read through public record and heard on coun-cil meeting tapes this is costing the citizens of this city big bucks. The YMCA is a business. We do not support other businesses in this city in the same way by giving them land or giving them $1.3 million dollars to build a business. If we are going to spend that kind of money to build a center for the citizens of our city it should be a community center which is owned and operated by the citizens.

K.M.: Yes, I support building a YMCA on the property acquired from Quadrant in the WSU for-est for several reasons. First, the YMCA will manage the facility and those that use it will also be the ones pay-ing for the management of it. Second, the YMCA will maintain the facil-ity and plans for improve-ments. Public facilities often become run-down and obsolete because they are not funded and main-tained. Third, facilities that are publicly funded operate at a loss and the city would have to continue to dump

OBITUARIES


After nine months, Lily Josephine Roach apparently had waited long enough.

The latest member of Pierce County Councilman Dan Roach’s family arrived Oct. 21 and in a hurry, pressing her father into service to deliver the baby himself at home.

“It just happened a whole lot faster than we were expecting,” Roach said with a laugh.

According to Roach, his wife Melanie Roach, who runs Roach Gymnastics and is a former

Olympic weightlifter, went into labor with the couple’s fifth child at about 12:30 a.m.

Roach said the couple decid-ed to give birth at home using a mid-wife, but with their usual midwife out-of-town, he placed a call to a backup in Chehalis and she immediately start-ed on her way.

However, it soon became clear that little Lily had no intention of waiting the 90 minutes or so for the couple’s midwife to arrive and started out on her own.

“The midwife was not going to be anywhere near,” Roach said Friday.

Roach said he called paramed-ics and tried to convince himself he was not going to have to deliver his own daughter, but even as they waited for the pro-fessionals to arrive, Roach began get-

ting advice from the dispatch-er who talked him through the birth.

Roach said he kept the dis-patcher on speaker phone, talking

him through the birth as nature took its course.

“It was just really fast,” he said. Three minutes after the

7-pound, 6-ounce, 20-inch Lily was born, the paramedics arrived.

“They said ‘great job,’ and I was like, ‘I’m glad you’re here!” he said with a relieved laugh.

Roach said he stayed calm dur-ing the delivery and placed his new daughter on his wife’s chest, but said the scariest part was wor-rying about any complications, though luckily both mother and daughter are both happy and healthy.

Roach said paramedics checked mother and child and because the family was prepared for a home birth anyway, both were allowed to stay at home.

“After it was all said and done, it was a pretty neat experience,” Roach said.

Not everyone in the 99 percent supports the ‘Occupy’ protesters

Mr. Brian Beckley’s column (Our Corner, Oct. 26) seems to be an attempt to convince the readers that we should all support the Occupy Wall Street movement. He relates to their cause because he has seen his wages stagnate “while the rich continue to get richer.” In two weeks, I will mark the second anniversary of my becoming unemployed and given this elimination of wages, I do not relate to these protesters.

Mr. Beckley clearly wants to increase taxes on the rich. Let’s be clear. If we raise taxes on the richest 1 percent to a 100 percent tax rate, we couldn’t even cover President Obama’s 2010 deficit, let alone reduce the outstanding debt which is a huge impediment to economic stability and job

creation.Mr. Beckley says we have to appreciate the energy of the

protesters and the “attention they are bringing to the issue of wealth inequality.” I do not appreciate thugs who oppose the police and scream at anyone who dare disagree with them. I do not appreciate dope-smoking anarchists who think it is their First Amendment right to urinate and def-ecate on private property or in public parks. I do not appre-ciate young people using profanity on television as they scoff at the idea of taking a minimum wage job. I’d appreci-ate a minimum wage job right now and hopefully someone will appreciate the energy I’d put into that position.

From an income standpoint, I am one of the 99 percent but my affiliation with these socialist utopian brats ends right there. I am in with a group of real Americans who have yet to organize and I do not know what our percentage is. I know we believe in self-reliance. I know we’d appreciate a hand up but not a hand out (I never filed for unemploy-

Imagine my son’s delivery room. He has just been born, and our family is huddled together with the love, warmth and security that only a mother and father can provide.

I wish it had been that way, but I wasn’t there. I couldn’t be there. I chose to work in an Alaskan fish-ing village while my son was being born so I wouldn’t have to see him being given to another family.

November is National Adoption Month and I chose this opportunity to write to you about the toughest and best decision I’ve ever made.

It’s a complicat-ed story.

After graduat-ing high school, I moved to Maui for

college. My best lady-friend moved in with me and we soon fell in love. We were careless and for my 19th birthday I learned I would become a father.

We were 18, unmarried, dependent and without health care. We were also strangers in an expensive tropical land, largely unknown to us. It felt like all we had was each other.

I’d never made up my mind about my stance on abortion, but she had. She was Catholic, and would never consider it; she would rather die herself. I was greatly torn, stunned by the reality of the situation, and hoped my trouble would dissolve itself somehow. I don’t know how the option of adoption came into consideration, but I soon began to spend whole days thinking about it.

It struck me that my problem with becoming a father was that it would only be an illusion. In my situ-ation, I would be working full-time and dropping out of college to be a “father,” and in return I would never have any time to enjoy my child. This was something I could not accept. I wanted to be an attentive father,

As I prepare to head back to Olympia on Nov. 28 for a 30-day special legisla-tive session, how we educate our chil-dren in light of the budget situation has been on my mind.

This month, I attended the 2011 National Summit on Education Reform held in San Francisco. There were nearly 750 attendees from states around the country sharing ideas on how to transform education, state by state, to make sure our kids receive a 21st-century education.

Of the many topics of discussion, there was a focus on school account-ability, incentivizing student achieve-ment, retaining the best teachers, and expanding choices for parents and students. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who passed meaningful reforms that led to real results in his state, was

in attendance. As a former Enumclaw School Board member and an active participant on the House Education Committee, I was excited to learn about “out-of-the-box” ideas other states are considering and implement-ing to help our students and teachers perform at the highest level.

My hope as we head into the special legislative session is lawmakers com-mit to prioritizing state spending and making sure there is accountability

in the education system. Why is this important? For one, the state consti-tution tells state leaders that educa-tion is the state’s “paramount duty.” Second, we can no longer afford to send more money out to schools with-out the accountability to know that what we are spending is fostering a better learning environment and to make sure dollars spent in the class-room are being used as efficiently as possible.

We need to take a look at what is working around the nation – new ways of achieving even greater goals for our students.

One solution may be to meet all students at their academic level by providing some digital, or technology-driven, learning solutions in the class-

room. This would free up class time by allowing those students competent in a par-ticular area to move ahead, freeing teachers to help students who need more instruction. Technology in the classroom can bring down costs and allow teach-ers to spend more time with kids who need the extra instruction most.

The fact is school dis-trict employees’ salaries on average make up 85 percent of school district budgets. This leaves just 15 percent of school budgets that are continually being cut. At this point, I believe there is nothing left to cut in that 15 percent without eroding student learning and per-

formance.Another solution may

be to offer pay incentives to those teachers that have proven they make a differ-ence in student achieve-ment. While a complicated proposal, any such measure that would have to be care-fully negotiated to ensure the best and brightest teach-ers are recognized and rewarded fairly in school districts statewide.

Setting benchmarks for our education system and sticking with the standards we set is critical. We begin by deciding the outcomes we want, and then work backward to what changes must be made to achieve those goals.

Our budget reality dic-tates the status quo is no longer acceptable and that we must set aside the notion

that “more money equals a better educational outcome for students.” We must revisit how we reward teach-ers for their success and how we integrate technology in the classroom for a more individualized education. Together, these ideas and others could be a recipe for greater success at lowering the dropout rate and closing the achievement gap.

Legislators under-stand difficult choices will be on the table when the Legislature convenes next month, but as we look for savings and efficiencies at every level of government, I hope we start looking at new ideas that don’t cut edu-cation funding but, rather, maximize it.

ment). We expect our gov-ernment to protect us and provide for things that we cannot provide for ourselves such as roads and bridges. We expect to provide most

of the rest for ourselves and we are confident that we could do so in a free mar-ket, unfettered, capitalist society.

Mr. Beckley indicates he was prompted to write this piece after reading a Facebook post from one of his “lefty-leaning” friends.

After reading his op-ed a couple times, I am con-vinced he is a lefty-leaning ideologue trying to con-vince us by using a thinly veiled populist bend to his message.

like mine had been, more than anything in the world, and that would not be pos-sible under these circumstances.

Then I thought of others like me. I thought of good men, who pained in frustration for the chance to raise chil-dren — the way I pained.

After that, I couldn’t even think of abortion. I couldn’t imagine denying that pleasure of fatherhood to any man, as I was being forced to deny it to myself. So I made my decision; I made the right one.

Today I feel it was the right choice in every way. I am reminded of how good a choice it was every time I receive a picture in the mail, hear my son’s voice on his birthday, or get to give him a big squeeze when I visit his adoptive family in Colorado.

The adoption didn’t cost us anything. In fact, the adoptive parents, whom we selected personally from one of the many open adoption Web sites that exist, actu-ally helped us pay our bills after my angel got to the point where she couldn’t work anymore.

Adoption needs to be considered more seriously by young people because it

turns the dangerous, costly or dream-shattering reality of premature parent-hood into something loving and beauti-ful.

I am not a hard-line pro-lifer. I don’t believe the government has the right to tell people they cannot make the deci-sions they feel they need to, but that doesn’t mean I don’t shed a tear for every child that receives a salty saline injection instead of a parent’s love.

The choice of adoption gave me a won-derful new family, a new person for me to love passionately for the rest of my life and even helped us pay bills when things got hard.

But even though we made the right choice, it didn’t prevent me from making the biggest mistake of my life, which was not being at my son’s birth.

I was afraid that if I was there watch-ing, I wouldn’t be able to let go of him. Maybe I wouldn’t have, but running from your toughest choices is never the right way to do things; I should have been there.

As we celebrate National Adoption Month, remind those in your life that adoption doesn’t cost anything, and allows you to do something beautiful for the world.

money into it. The YMCA is able to maintain the facility without assistance from the city. We need to have more “family-friendly” facilities and activities for our chil-dren and the YMCA is an excellent option.

According to national standards, Bonney Lake is lacking in park lands. City staff is presently working on a proposal for a metro-politan parks district. Do you support this and what do you think is the best way to address this issue?

Q.D.: Once again I am not in support of a metro-politan parks district at this time. I think this should go to the vote of the people.

K.M.: Yes, I think a met-ropolitan park district is a great option. First, because it goes to the people for a vote. If approved, a board of directors will manage the park district and make decisions on how the funds will be dispersed.

What can the city coun-cil do to help spur devel-opment in the city?

Q.D.: I agree with a state-ment by the city adminis-trator a few months back, when he asked the council to lower the impact fees to start off with, so that busi-nesses can build and then

pay the rest of their impact fees a year or two later. I do realize that a business can go out of business with-in a year, however a new business surely will replace what is there and the fees will be recuperated sooner or later. The economy is in dire straights right now and whatever we can offer the developers would be better than standing solid and not giving an inch.

K.M.: The city council can do a number of things to spur development in the city. However, because of the economic situation, it will be difficult to see immediate results. The city council should be the No. 1 cheerleaders and sales people for the city. And, there needs to be a bal-ance between the impact fees associated with devel-opment and the necessary improvements that go along with new development.

Why should voters chose you over your opponent?

Q.D.: I have had the city as my main concern since I moved here 34 years ago. Yes, I have spoken out against things that I have felt were not fair--but I have supported this community in many ways since mov-ing here. I was a Girl Scout leader and shaped many of the young ladies that are now living in this com-munity. I was on the Park

Board for a short period. I was given the opportu-nity to be on the Planning Commission and I worked hard with the other six members to go forth with our city and do the research for the Council. I will con-tinue to research and work hard to keep the citizens informed. The Mayor and his staff have done a great job at doing that in the newspapers and the Weekly Mayor’s Report; I want to do that with a council report informing the citi-zens as to why the coun-

cil made the decision they have made. I have always been available to citizens, business owners and even developers to help them with the knowledge that I possess and point them in the right direction to take care of their concerns. I do not plan to stop.

K.M.: I believe I am the best candidate for Bonney Lake. I have the leader-ship experience and skills. I have passion for this city. And I have a logical and level-headed approach to decision making. My oppo-nent often times will use offensive language in her messages. She is critical of our city officials and makes unnecessary personal attacks on them as well as on city staff. Although

she is often critical of how the city spends money, she regularly requests pub-lic documents. In the last 12 months, the city has provided her with 7,093 pages in response to her requests. An estimation of the cost of these requests is conservatively $350 per month for emails between the city administrator and the mayor. She refused to talk to The News Tribune’s editorial board. She refused to attend a debate hosted by The Courier-Herald because it was held at a church. Is this who you want representing you?

Is there anything else you’d like to say?

Q.D.: Thanks again, guys!

K.M.: Finally, my oppo-

nent has been critical of myself because I work with the Mayor in my job as a private citizen. This is true. Our Mayor did hire me to work with him at his job that supports his family. Many don’t know that as our mayor, he only makes about $800 per month. By hiring me to work with him, I see it as a major vote of confidence. He has also endorsed my campaign. When it comes to deci-sions for the city of Bonney Lake, I am not paid by my employer to make decisions in anyone’s favor. I will be representing you, the citi-zens of Bonney Lake, when decisions have to be made.

Illustrated booklet offers information on common

sports injuries

“The Sports Medicine Media Guide: An Illustrated Resource on the Most Common Injuries and Treatments in Sports” is now available online and in print from the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).

The new 33-page guide pro-vides comprehensive, easy-to-understand descriptions of com-mon sports injuries, from ankle sprains and concussions, to car-diac arrest and heat stroke.

“AOSSM and AAOS have worked to create a guide for media professionals that we hope will provide clear, unbiased infor-mation about sports injuries and treatments for athletes of all ages and skill levels,” said Dr. David Geier, chairman of the AOSSM Public Relations Committee.

The guide is divided into 20 chapters, each focusing on a spe-

cific injury and providing infor-mation on cause, diagnosis and treatment, as well as related defi-nitions, statistics and resources. Chapters are written by an “expert consultant,” an orthopaedic sur-geon or other physician special-izing in the particular injury or condition, who offers insight on what to expect in recovery, how to avoid injury and how to get back into the game. High-resolution photographs and medical illus-trations provide additional detail, and can be used in news stories to further explain an athlete’s injury.

The Sports Medicine Media Guide includes the following chapters:

farmland in the world. And it will be paved over.”

But the argument for environmental preserva-tion was no longer the sole domain of Orton Junction’s critics. A stipulation of the

Seven Principles agree-ment is that every acre of Agricultural Resource Lands used for the Orton Junction project must be replaced by four acres of land with a conservation easement.

“Our local agricultural land is incredibly important

to use in Pierce County,” Ryan Mello of Cascade Land Conservancy said. “The environmental ben-efits are many. That’s why I’m here to advocate for the seven principles agree-ment. For every one acre of agricultural land, four acres will be preserved.”

Advocates for the YMCA argued that Orton Junction would allow a YMCA facility to be built and fill a market need.

“I have overseen the building of 20 successful YMCAs,” said YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties CEO Bob Ecklund. “And

I’ve spoken to individu-als in support of a YMCA in Sumner. Never have I heard as much support for a YMCA as I have there.”

Ecklund claimed a mar-ket study had shown an approximate 20,000 peo-ple who would purchase a YMCA membership if

a facility were built in Sumner.

Brent Mounts, the gen-eral manager of Prime Fitness in Bonney Lake, argued that wasn’t nec-essarily a good thing for existing fitness business-es.

“It (the 5-mile radius surrounding the Orton site) is not an area that is going to support 20,000 YMCA members, and (even if it does) it will kill jobs in the fintess industry that have been in the area five or 10 years,” Mounts said.

County Councilman Dan Roach noted his own personal conflict with sup-porting a development that could create serious com-petition for his own busi-ness, Roach Gymnastics.

“My three biggest competitors are YMCA, YMCA, and YMCA,” Roach said. “So I could have very selfishly said there is no way I can sup-port a (competitor).

“At the end of the day, what I do is for the people who elect me and what I think will benefit the county overall.”

Eve n C ou nt y Councilman Timothy Farrell, a legislator with a history of support for envi-ronmental preservation, came out in support of the amendment—though in a roundabout way:

“Some folks and my col-leagues may be looking at this issue out of concern for (YMCA),” he said. “I look at this from a differ-ent perspective: I want to put Sumner in a box and I want to lock it up.”

Farrell explained that although he did not want to sacrifice Orton Farms’ ARL parcels, the “four to one” replacement of those lands with conservation eased properties to the south would create what he called a “green barrier” to the South to keep Sumner from expanding further in that direction.

With the amendment voted in, the ball is now in the city’s, Cascade’s and Orton Farms’ court to continue forward with the development.

Council Chair Roger Bush noted that a judicial challenge to the project was possible, but that he believed it represented a good compromise.

a new corporation formed by four property owners as a way to speak to the city and council with a single voice, something the council has been urging for months.

Watts said the four founding property owners, which includes Dean Ogle, Bob Stobie and former city councilman David Bowen, founded the corporation to provide the city a single partner in the sewer process, instead of myriad owners, though Watt said any prop-erty owner who wants to be part of the sewer agreement can become a partner.

“We are representing the property owners,” Watt said. “It will be all the prop-erty owners that chose to participate.”

Watt said he has in the past spoken to all of the Eastown property own-ers and approximately 80 percent are interested in contributing to the swear project, but were worried about their share of the cost and wanted to know more about the deal.

The memo of under-standing, which was made an action item and passed during the Oct.18 city council workshop, makes clear that the owners share of the cost will be limited to 5 percent, the minimum allowed by city code.

Several council members in the past have spoken of a larger contribution by prop-erty owners, stoking con-cern about just how much money they will need to come up with to get things moving, but the new memo of understanding makes it

clear.“We now know it will

include us partnering and the level of participation is 5 percent,” Watt said. “This gives us some of that assur-ance.”

The city council has been pursuing a Utility Latecomers Agreement as a method to install a sewer system in Eastown. The city’s policy has been to let development pay for development, but property owners say they cannot sell their land because of a requirement that sewer lines be installed.

Instead, the council and the property owners have been working toward the ULA, which will allow the city to pay for the major-ity of the up-front costs of installing a system and then be paid back through charges as new buildings

are constructed.The memo of under-

standing is a non-binding agreement and is not a con-tract. The property owners will need to deliver their share of the money before any additional work is undertaken by the city.

“This is not the late-comer’s agreement,” Public Works Director Dan Grigsby clarified at the meeting.

“This is the only way you can bargain as a city coun-cil,” said city attorney Jim Dionne before the vote.

The council applauded the group’s efforts to form a corporation and said those who voted in favor of the agreement said this would allow the property owners to see if they could come up with the money.

Watt said the plan is to adjust each property own-

er’s contribution to the total based on the percentage of their acreage in the 165-acre Eastown area.

Watt said the biggest question is the Compass Pointe property, located near the middle of the Eastown on the north side of state Route 410, which is presently in foreclosure.

But Watt said he was optimistic about getting

other owners on board .“(Oct. 18) was a step in

the right direction,” watt said. “Now we’re going to try to put the transaction together.”

EASTOWN FROM 1


Sumner man Mitchell Trimm was fatally struck by a Burlington Santa Fe Railroad engine Oct. 22 on Main Street, after leaving The Silo bar and restaurant.

The body was found at 1:30 a.m. City police and the railroad company are investigating the potential causes of the incident, and whether it was an accident or suicide.

The bartender told police Trimm seemed in good spirits when he left the establishment.

Additionally, police attempt-ing to determine or rule out premeditated suicide look for signs of finality in the deceased’s life, such as using final days to put affairs in order or leaving behind a note with goodbyes or instructions.

In contrast, Trimm was pre-paring for the future. He had been promoted at work, bought a truck, and was planning a trip with friends, his father told police.

Sumner man killed on tracks Outward Bound collects $3,400 for vetsBy Daniel Nash

Staff Writer

People in the Bonney Lake, Sumner and Puyallup region raised $3,400 in October for veterans adjusting to civilian life. Now Outward Bound for Veterans wants them to dig a little bit deeper to raise at least $600 more.

Outward Bound is a program to help returning soldiers tran-sition back into civilian life.

“Thousands of of veterans, hardened by the realities of war, regularly struggle to readjust to

civilian life and face mental ill-ness, drug and alcohol abuse, failed personal relationships and unemployment,” wrote Laurie Miller, the Community Sales Leader for Willow Gardens and a regional affiliate of Outward Bound. “Often times, veterans need our support more than ever as they transition back home.”

The program is taught by veterans who have successfully transitioned back into civilian life, Miller said. The hope is that returning soldiers will connect with someone who has been

through what they have been through.

The official goal for Outward Bound’s fundraising was $2,000 per month for October and November. $2,000 is the entire cost of the program for one vet-eran, meaning each community aims to fund two enrollments.

The Schoen Bros. go to the East Pierce open house

Capt. Brian Schulz gives Eddie Schoen a hand on his John Deere tricycle for a smooth ride. And just in time, too: Eddie’s new fi re chief hat fell over his eyes!

Born to Ride

Quick! Take the fi re truck while no one’s the wiser! George shows he’s a natural behind the wheel as he plays inside a real East Pierce Fire Engine. Now if only his feet could reach the pedals...

Getaway driver

Lute Schoen dives headfi rst into a scoop of chocolate ice cream. And look: it’s an edible sugar cone! Enjoy this now, kid; you only have fi ve, maybe six, years until the window closes on showing this much enthusiasm for dessert.

Good ice cream, huh?

An East Pierce Firefi ghter shows Lute Schoen how to operate a lever-operated fi re hose at East Pierce Fire and Rescue’s 18th Annual Open House, Oct. 1.

Considering the mischief in Lute’s eyes, one can only speculate on the identity of the poor sap he’s soaking out of frame.

The entire Bonney Lake High girls team will be moving on to Saturday’s 3A state cross country meet.

The team finished sixth overall in the qualifying meet at American Lake Golf Course in Lakewood Saturday to claim the final team berth with 166 points.

“The competition at the girls end of things was unbelievable at American Lake,” Bonney Lake coach Andrew Foster said.

Spearheading the BLHS effort was Marie Wilson, who turned in a clutch 10th-place individual posting, leaning across the finish line at 19 minutes, 35 seconds.

Not far behind was Sierra Espinal in 19th place with a time of 20:18; Haley Theriault, 34th, 21:01; Madisen Liddle, 43rd, 21:27; and Mekenzie Voellger, 60th, 22:19.

On the boy’s side of the equation, Nolan Weber earned a state trip. He zipped across the stripe at 17:16, good for 29th place. The top 30 individuals qualified for Saturday’s big show on Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course.

The curtain closed on the Sumner Spartans’ football season Friday night, putting an end to a disappointing season.

With a 30-7 loss to the playoff-bound White River Hornets, Sumner finished with an overall mark of 3-6, including a 2-5 record in South Puget Sound League play.

After opening the sea-son on an impressive note, winning two of three games, the injury-plagued Spartans dropped five of their final six.

Friday night’s season finale, played at Sunset Chev Stadium, saw the visiting Hornets jump out to a 14-0 halftime lead.

That’s when the Spartans made things interesting, slicing the margin when Lokahi

Kamau scored on a 14-yard touchdown gal-lop.

But that would be the end of the Spartan cel-ebrating. White River tacked on two more touchdowns and a late safety rounded out the night’s scoring.

The Spartans man-aged to run for 229 yards but were held to just 66 through the air, for a total of 295. White River accounted for nearly 400 yards to total offense, running for 264 and pass-ing for another 120.

White River’s season continues with a Friday night contest against Interlake of the KingCo 3A/2A Conference. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. in Buckley.

It’s all over for Spartans

SHS Football By John LeggettStaff Writer

When Bonney Lake vis-ited Harry Lang Stadium Friday to tussle with the front-running Lakes Lancers, the No. 2-ranked 3A football team in the state, there was only going to be one possible outcome and it wasn’t going to be pretty.

A talented Bonny Lake bunch watched its aspira-tions for landing in the sec-ond season fade into oblivi-on against an opportunistic 9-0 Lancer crew that was not a very cordial host. The Lancers delivered a 62-14 dismantling of BLHS that dropped the Panthers to 2-3 in league action and ended any hope that Bonney Lake would still be playing foot-ball in November.

“I am not going to mince any words. It sucks to be done already,” Bonney Lake

boss Chad Barrett said. “But we were a young squad that came into their house and simply made too many mis-takes. You just can’t do that if you want to be a winner.”

In the opening quarter, Bonney Lake capped an efficient scoring drive with an 8-yard dart to Kaleb Zahnow delivered by Chris Brown, the South Puget Sound League 3A’s leading passer.

Things began to unravel for the Panthers as Lakes pilfered two Brown aeri-als and returned them for scores early in the sec-ond stanza. Additionally, Bonney Lake fumbled the ball in its own end zone and a Lakes defender alert-ly pounced on the loose pigskin for another Lancer score. The mistakes were

piling up and the score at intermission was 49-7.

The game degenerated into a blowout in the sec-ond half as Bonney Lake had another interception returned for a touchdown and Lakes went into its ground and pound rushing attack.

The Panthers scored in the late going on a 1-yard plunge by Nathaniel Steinhauer. Panther kick-er Austin Curtis legged through his second PAT of the evening and the scoring was crystalized at 62-14.

“Lakes showed us that we are a young team with a number of things to work on in the offseason,” Barrett said. “I think we will be OK next year, though. We just have to develop a running game to compliment our passing attack and become more balanced.”

Panther postseason dreams lanced, 62-14

At the state-qualify-ing cross country meet Saturday, Sumner High’s contingent proved cross country is indeed a team sport.

Saturday’s meet cov-ered a 3.1-mile course at American Lake Golf Course in Lakewood.

Working cohesively as a unit, Sumner’s female harriers wove in and out the throng of runners and qualified their squad for Saturday’s state meet at Pasco’s Sun Willows Golf Course.

With the regular soccer season now just a memory, the Bonney Lake Panthers turn their attention to post-season play.

The second season gets under way tonight, Wednesday, with a series of subdistrict games. Taking part are squads from the South Puget Sound League

2A, Seamount League and Bremerton High.

The Bonney Lake girls, who finished the regular season 14-2 overall and 8-2 in SPSL 2A play, open with a game beginning at 5:30 p.m. at Harry Lang Stadium in Lakewood. The opponent will be one of the Panthers’ familiar victims, the Peninsula Seahawks, who finished as the No.

5 squad in the SPSL 2A. Bonney Lake wound up as the No. 2 seed.

The loser will be done for the season, while the winner advances to West Central District play.

The Panthers finished the regular season with a pair of shutouts– a 4-0 victory over Peninsula Oct. 26 and a 3-0 win Oct. 25 at Enumclaw. Scoring

goals at Peninsula were Emily Richmond, Jessyka Sekra, Madison Adams and Andrea Bowman. Against Enumclaw, goals were deliv-ered by Gabby Robinson, Carly Mingo and Adams. Goalkeeper Madi Lowry earned the shutout in both games.

Panthers’ postseason begins tonightBLHS Soccer


Sumner High’s soc-cer squad wrapped up its untarnished 12-0 regu-lar season with a pair of shutouts, winning 5-0 and 4-0 against Steilacoom and Franklin Pierce last week and earning a bye in the first round of the upcoming playoffs.

The Spartans’ second season will get under way at 3 p.m. Saturday at Renton’s Memorial Stadium against an opponent that had not been determined at press time.

Sumner hosted Steilacoom Oct. 25 and pul-verized the Sentinels 5-0, with Alex Hoyt and Jamie Lange sharing the shutout in goal.

Megan Fenton broke the scoring ice at the 8 minute juncture and the Spartans never looked back, receiv-ing additional tallies by Tayler Holtman, Kaylie Rozell, Sarah Carter and Rachel Stowell.

Thursday, at Franklin Pierce, Rozell recorded a hat trick and Krista Morford

added a goal. Hoyt and Lange shared responsibility in goal.

Sumner not only clinched the SPSL 2A soccer crown, but did not relinquish a goal in the month of October, winning a half-dozen league meetings by shutout.

After an opening match loss to Lakes, Bonney Lake Tennis ran the table, picking up nine straight league wins to finish as co-champions of the SPSL 3A League finishing 9-1 league and 13-2 overall.

During this streak, Bonney Lake defeated last year’s champion Lakes, three seasons undefeated.

Wins for the Panthers came from second singles player Brody Fitzsimmons 6-0, 6-1, the third doubles team doubles Nick Scott and Colton Moroles 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 and a must have

tie-breaker win from the second doubles team of Spencer Workman and Sam Davidson, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8)

Finishing out the season Oct. 18, the Panthers had a do-or-die match against Auburn Mountainview. It was Senior Night and with a completely senior line up, Bonney Lake defeated the Lions 3-2 securing their place at the top of the league. The Panthers picked up wins at second singles from

Spencer Larsen 6-3, 6-1, the first doubles team of Zac Volin and Devon Crump 6-3, 6-0, and a hard fought third doubles match with Scott and Moroles winning 7-6 (8-6) 7-5.

In local tennis action, midway through the sea-son, Bonney Lake defeated cross town rival Sumner 5-0 and White River High School 4-1.

Last week, in League tour-nament play, singles player

Andy Leaf finished third and doubles team Volin/Crump finished fourth to advance to the West Central Districts tournament this spring. They were also voted all-league. Workman and Davidson also fought their way to advance as the first alternate.

As an added exclamation point to an unforgettable season, the team also won the League Sportsmanship Award for the way they

carried themselves throughout the season, and Coach Damon DeLapp was voted the “Coach of the Year.”

“This has been a very rewarding season,” Delapp said. “I have enjoyed each match, practice, and player. We are a solid team from the No. 1 singles all the way to the No. 3 doubles. These players have worked hard and deserve the reward for their efforts.”

The SHS volleyballers got off on the right foot Saturday morning, stone-walling Evergreen High of the Seamount League in three straight sets 25-7, 25-8, 25-13.

The victory moved the Spartan girls to the win-ner’s bracket and they next encountered Sequim. The hungry Wolves won 25-10, 25-16, 25-14.

Bonney Lake Police are investigating an Oct. 23 armed robbery of a man near the Bonney Lake Library.

According to police reports, the man’s injury was minor.

Officers were dis-patched to the Public Safety Building at approximately 9:50 Oct. 23 for a report of a man who told the dispatch-ers he’d just been robbed. When officers arrived, they noted wet blood on the top of his head and in his hair.

The victim, 19, told police he had been sitting on a

bench in front of the library playing a game on his laptop when an unknown suspect wearing a bandana across his face approached him.

The victim said he did not recognize the person, who then started hitting him with a police-style baton.

The assailant is described as a white male approxi-mately 17 to 19 years. He is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and has medi-um build. he was wearing a black hat, black coat and black pants and had a black and white bandana across

his face.The victim told police he

was scared and ran from the suspect, asking what he wanted. The suspect told him he just wanted him to leave. The suspect also took the victim’s computer and power cords before fleeing the scene on foot, at which time the suspect ran to the public safety building.

The man told police he was playing video games on the bench because he is presently homeless and had been spending some nights on the bench because it is covered.

As East Pierce Fire and Rescue treated the victim for his wounds, which were minor, officers and Pierce County Deputies set up a containment perim-eter around the scene. A Tacoma K-9 unit arrived to search the area with nega-tive results.

The victim declined to be transported to the hospital for further medical atten-tion, retrieved his remain-ing property from the scene and transported to his father’s residence to stay for the evening.

Police are investigating.
