The special East Pierce Fire Commissioners meet-ing Thursday was a solemn affair as Plateau residents gathered at the Bonney Lake Fire Department to discuss their questions and concerns about the East Pierce Fire and Rescue bud-get, which will be cut by $3 million in 2015.

The meeting was stand-ing room only, and resi-dents who could not find a seat stood in the back and even out into the hall to listen to the fire commis-sioners and Fire Chief Jerry Thorson explain their bud-get options and their goals for the next year.

Although the East Pierce Fire and Rescue Operations

and Maintenance levy received a simple majority of 56 percent yes votes dur-ing the November general elections, state law required a supermajority, or 60 per-cent, of yes votes for the levy to pass.

By press deadline, the plan for the final East Pierce budget was to have it finished by November 18.

Many members of the public and even some of the commissioners expressed their frustration towards their present situation.

“We are talking about things we’ve never has to talk about before,” said Fire Commissioner Chair Dale Mitchell. “In my 25 years as a fire commissioner, I’ve never had to do this.”

sound and video of her friend on the other side of the screen, Patrick Sesay, is delayed by the more than 6,600 miles between Maple Valley and Makeni, Sierra Leone, as well as a tenuous satellite connection. Sesay’s bald head reappears, his smile and excitable response making Jeffery laugh. He is full of life, despite the somber subject at hand — the state of his country.

I’m asking Sesay about the death of his friends and neighbors and optimism is decidedly scarce. The city’s confirmed deaths have risen to 547, the number of quarantines up 170 — 40 more than in September — and, yesterday, they ran out of chlorine, which is needed for both safety and continued education about necessary hygiene protocols.

From an iPad mounted inside Makeni’s Bridge of Hope compound, Sesay says the people of Makeni are desperate. Even more so than usual.

The Bonney Lake prelimi-nary budget for the next two years has been completed and was presented to the City Council at the end of October.

Mayor Neil Johnson explained in the budget the city will see an increase in revenue.

“We anticipate Bonney Lake’s economy to continue to rebound,” Johnson wrote

in the proposed budget, “but do not foresee a return to pre-Great Recession levels.”

The budget estimates there will be a 3.4 percent increase in sales tax reve-nue from 2014 because of the developing commer-cial retail projects in both Midtown and Eastown, even though the sales tax rate will not increase.

Utility charges for resi-dents will also remain flat for the next biennium.

“For the average citi-zen, everything will pretty

much stay the same,” said City Administrator Don Morrison. “The only tax rate increase in the budget is the 1 percent property tax increase.”

The 1 percent tax increase is the maximum increase allowed by state law. The city tax rate in 2015 will be $1.428 for every $1,000 in assessed value. For homes assessed at $200,000, the tax bill will be $285.60.

While most revenue streams will be increasing, Johnson wrote that license

and permit revenue will be seeing some dips before any bumps.

“I anticipate a slight down-turn in 2015,” he wrote, esti-mating around a 35 percent dip over 2014 levels, “how-

ever in 2016 we expect a sig-nificant building year with a number of large projects on the drawing boards,” estimating an optimistic 15 percent increase from 2014.

“Overall, General Fund revenues are anticipated to remain relatively stable but flat over the next biennium,” Johnson wrote. In total, expected revenue for the city in 2015 exceeds $40 million, and in 2016 jumps to just under $46 million.

Some of the capital proj-ects for the coming bien-

nium include Eastown sewer installations, state Route 401 and Veterans Memorial Drive intersection upgrades, and the continued develop-ment of a new Public Works Center.

To balance the budget, Johnson proposed “to use all the anticipated revenue proceeds for the biennium to balance the budget. This includes the planned sale of the Junction 192 property,” which was the former city

cut from East Pierce’s bud-get is equal to 14 percent of the department’s budget.

Property taxes and the Maintenance and Operations levy provided East Pierce with nearly 83 percent of its total budget in 2013, according to the department’s 2013 annual report.

The same report details nearly 85 percent of the budget went to personnel costs. Almost 11 percent went to supplies and spe-cial services, 4 percent to dispatch agency fees and other government agree-ments, and 1/2 percent to capital leases and debt.

At the meeting, fire commissioners explained to the public without the $3 million from the levy, the 2015 East Pierce bud-get will not have funds to maintain current staffing levels or continue numer-ous special public services.

Staffing LevelsOne of the biggest con-

cerns expressed by both the commissioners and the public was the smaller budget will result in East Pierce staff layoffs.

In order to prevent lay-offs, commissioners are leaning towards develop-ing a “rolling brownout” schedule, which will be a rotating schedule of sta-tion closures in order to reduce daily staffing and overtime.

The current plan is to decrease daily staff from 23 to 20 across East Pierce’s six career stations.

This drops the number of staff at several stations from four responders to three.

“Our staffing level reduction will save money, however it means that we will frequently have to close an engine or medic unit for the day. In some cases, an entire station will be closed for the day,” said Thorson. “It will defi-

nitely have an effect on our entire response plan and will result in slower response times for emer-gencies.”

During the Nov. 11 windstorm, East Pierce responded to at least 72 emergencies. “That’s more than triple our normal call volume of 24-25 calls per day,” said Thorson.

While no serious inju-ries were reported, emer-gencies included downed trees and power lines, as well as other wind-related damage.

Two homes in the Lake Tapps area and one in Edgewood were damaged by fallen trees.

“We generally start the winter preparing for the worst, but it gets harder with fewer units on the road,” Thorson explained.

Public ServicesWhile the overall impact

to East Pierce’s public and education services is still

being discussed, East Pierce spokeswoman Dina Sutherland said that there were some immediate effects on the department’s school assembly program, which were performed by the department’s safety clowns and their puppets.

“It was a major school outreach program,” Sutherland said. “And it came to a screeching halt.”

The program planned a total of 20 assemblies that focused on topics like stranger safety, stop, drop, and roll and home escape plans. However, the

program was only able to perform five assemblies before the it was stopped.

Sutherland said the pro-gram was one of the best ways to teach children about safety, citing that tests given to kids before and after the assemblies showed students retained

85 percent of the knowl-edge they acquired at these assemblies.

Additionally, Sutherland said six citizen CPR and first aid classes were cut from the 2015 budget, and CPR programs for middle and high school-ers were cut from a four-day process to a two-day process. Students will also no longer be able to receive American Heart Association CPR certifica-tion from these classes.

“This is a big blow to education in school,” Sutherland said.

help,” Sesay says. “In normal cases people are struggling. We have nothing to start with. We desperately need help.”

Even before the Ebola out-break, which is estimated to have killed nearly 5,000 of the more than 13,500 infected West Africans in eight coun-tries, the people of Makeni, and much of Sierra Leone, lived in hardship. The coun-try was beginning to recover from a nearly 11-year long civil war that ended in 2002. On the best of days, the West African nation of six mil-lion suffers from immense healthcare issues that include HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuber-culosis, Lassa fever and one of the highest maternal mor-tality rates in the world.

All of these issues still remain, which means while the people of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia are cur-rently just fighting to survive, there will be far reaching consequences to the Ebola epidemic beyond the final body count.

“Our normal effort is to help rebuild up after the wars they went through,” says Jeffery, Executive Director of The Bridge of Hope, a non-profit organization in Maple Valley that has been provid-ing aid in Sierra Leone since

2006. “Now it’s become just an effort of relief, educate and feed.”

The Bridge of Hope is among the many non-gov-ernmental agencies around the country attempting to provide aid to the region from afar. Volunteers from the Maple Valley organiza-tion, which started with mis-sion work, typically make three trips per year to Sierra Leone. The volunteers have helped build schools, provid-ed micro-loans for business-es like bakeries and barber shops, have planted churches, and are building medical and dental programs.

But, after the Ebola con-cerns mounted, the group cancelled its last scheduled trip in April.

“We are not equipped to be there,” Jeffery says. “We’re kind of just trying to see what happens; we may send a couple of our leaders early next year. We are trying to be wise... We don’t want to bring anything back to the states. We need to do the best we can from here.”

Despite the panic and con-cern, talking with “Mama Geri” seems to help Sesay, the accountant and a team lead for The Bridge of Hope in MaKeni. Even if just a little.

He knows it’s too danger-ous for Jeffery and the other volunteers with The Bridge of Hope to come and visit, but realizes they are still mak-

ing plans for aid. Heck, she brought a newspaper report-er: maybe he can get the word out.

“Life is not OK compared to what it looked like before,” Sesay tells me over Facetime. “It’s really ravaging our country. Things have come to a halt.”

“People in Makeni desper-ately need help, please,” he adds, pleading.

A spreading problemWhile health and aid work-

ers from around the globe work to stop the epidemic at the source, the United States response to the spread of Ebola has been decidedly fickle, with politicians and a public pressure pushing for mandatory quarantines of returning health care work-ers who are not showing any symptoms of the virus, while the President has spoken out against automatic quar-antines and denounced the media for “stirring up panic.”

Dr. Elizabeth Wheeler, Chief Medical Officer for Tacoma General and Allenmore Hospitals said clinically mandatory quar-antines for aid workers are not warranted.

“We know about the ill-ness that we know it is not going to be spread unless someone is symptomatic,” Wheeler said. “Most people would say, ‘better safe than

sorry’ and if I was a physician who went to Africa I prob-ably would volunteer myself. But clinically, it’s not neces-sary.”

Ebola is a provocative and, ultimately, terrifying disease with no known cure. While, from America, it may seem easy to consider cutting West Africa off from the rest of the world, Jeffery sees this is a worldwide problem, especial-ly if the virus were to become endemic — e.g. like malaria that could always pop back up. Both Jeffery and Wheeler said the silver lining to the media onslaught and public fear is that it woke people up to the problem.

“It’s too often that people look it at it is an African problem,” she said. “If we don’t stop it there, we will continue to risk here.”

“Everyone is nervous, and rightfully so,” Wheeler said. “If the disease is not con-tained in West Africa, if it grows and spreads, we will probably see more cases here.”

Protocols set around King County

Ebola is not airborne and, therefore, extremely difficult to catch, especially in medi-cally advanced countries like America.

But, in the wake of the mishandling of an Ebola

patient in Dallas, the Centers for Disease Control has rec-ommended that every medi-cal center in the country to update and prepare policies and procedures.

Wheeler said she is confi-dent about the new screen-ing process, which involves three key questions related to a patient’s symptoms, travel history and whether he or she has been in contact with an Ebola patient – or contact with a person who has had contact with a patient.

Two out of three affirma-tive automatically triggers a call to incident command and isolation of the patient.

Wheeler said all front line staff — doctors, nurses and front desk staff —in every urgent care, emergency department and primary care office in the Multicare

system have been or are being trained in the proto-cols, which have been direct-ly modeled after Atlanta’s Emory Hospital infectious disease unit.

Wheeler said everyone was able to learn from the mis-takes at Texas Presbyterian.

“Texas, unfortunately, it’s terrible that that happened,” she said. “A couple months ago that could have been any hospital in the United States, honestly.”

Wheeler said drills are being prepared for physicians and ICU nurses. Wheeler acknowledged that the Ebola craze is taking a lot of time, but, much like was the case during the HIV outbreak in the ‘80s, good standard pro-tocols are being formed.

My hero made an Ebola presentation in front of a group of military veterans the other evening. I sat in the crowd and watched in awe at her poise and expertise. She continually surprises and amazes me. One of the attendees seemed to read my mind, also calling her “a hero.” I couldn’t agree more.

After an hour or so of Q&A, I watched wordlessly as the vets gave my hero praise and I carried her purse and the “Certificate of Thanks” to our car. It occurred to me that I’m among the dot-ing husband-to-

be’s in today’s America. And that I couldn’t be prouder of that fact.

I’m not exactly Eric the Riveter, as I’ve never been one who felt the need to prove my manhood, in large part because I so often fail in the old fashion principles — being the breadwinner (Ha, I’m a journalist), the smart one (see first parenthetical) or the athletic one (she finished a Ragnar race; I can finish a Digiorno by myself). Sometimes she kills the spiders.

But I have some positive attributes – I can reach the crock pot from the top cupboard in the kitchen, I wear the backpack during hikes, I drive on all our road trips and I am always there to support her in her career choices and talk her through the difficult decisions.

Maybe it’s weird to compliment myself for things like this, but I’d like to think I’m playing the supporting

Republicans may find that their midterm election victory is only temporary. In two years it will be the Democrats’ time to come roar-ing back to victory in 2016 with the presidential contest. National elections may be in a pattern that could last the rest of the decade: Republicans win the midterms and the Democrats win the presidency.

This analysis comes from Mark Sappenfield in an article from the Nov. 9, 2014, “Christian Science Monitor” article entitled, “Why the Republican Midterm Election Might be Less Impressive Than It Seems.”

According to Sappenfield, Barack Obama won the election for presi-dency in 2008, followed by the Republicans winning control of the House in 2010. The president won re-election in 2012 despite being seen as vulnerable and in spite of the millions of dollars spent by Republicans to beat him. The recent election continues the cycle with the Republicans taking control of the Senate as well as continuing to control the House. The pattern is a seesaw and here’s why.

Voters are increasingly becoming more independent, favoring neither

party as time passes. Meanwhile, the government has become hyper-partisan. The reason for this is due to demographics. The Democratic base, being made up of the young and minorities, tends to be more personality centered rather than issues centered. Therefore they don’t get as excited about midterm elec-tions and don’t show up at the polls as much as the Republicans do.

Republicans, being fewer in num-ber, but mainly blue collar, white and older, tend to turn out for mid-terms more consistently and win the midterms. Obama’s victory in the 2012 election with only 39 percent of the white vote shows this, when his demographic of voters turned out again.

This current Republican demo-graphic, The “Silent Generation”

tends to be more conservative than its now disappearing predecessor, “The Greatest Generation” – those who endured the Great Depression and World War II. Further, accord-ing to Sappenfield’s article, the divi-sions between liberals who vote Democratic, and conservatives who vote Republican, is more clearly delineated now than in the past when there was more crossover vot-ing.

So, rather than Republicans bringing about major change in this midterm election, they merely cemented the already existing pat-terns. In other words, frustrating gridlock will likely continue for the rest of the decade, according to Sappenfield.

As the more conservative “Silent Generation” dies off, they will be replaced by Boomers who have tended to swing right or left, but mainly left. The decreasing numbers of Republicans and the increasing power of Latinos will mean fewer chances for Republicans to gain control of the government, unless they change their approach.

Midterm results part of a larger pattern

Looks like the Grand Old Party got its groove back.

After this election, Republicans will hold a majority of seats in the state Senate for the first time since 2004 and boast their largest contingent in the state House in more than a decade.

“It was a good year to be a Republican,” understated Rep. J.T. Wilcox, R-Yelm.

The most stirring change is in the House, where the GOP is poised to pick up four seats and shrink Democrats’ numeric advantage to 51-47, its smallest margin since 2002.

Republican challengers are toppling four incumbent Democrats this cycle, three of whom are chairmen of House committees deal-ing with higher education and the funding of public schools and social services.

Certainly, the party ben-efitted from the political wave which defined the midterms nationally. But success is also a product of an evolving political opera-tion that’s helped the cau-cus add 10 seats since 2010 and move from the perch of

irrelevance to the precipice of a majority.

“We’re the only Republican House in the country to gain seats in the last four election cycles,” said House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish.

The caucus has done it by embracing a more dis-ciplined and decentralized approach to electioneering since Kristiansen became the leader in early 2013.

As the year began, the political leadership of the House Republican Organizational Committee honed in on eight battle-ground races.

Two involved defending Republican seats — the one in Snohomish County’s 44th District that Republican Mike Hope vacated and the other in the 26th District, where appointed Rep. Jesse Young, R-Gig Harbor, sought to win a full term. The other six were held by Democrats in districts where Republicans have won in the past.

GOP leaders recruited candidates, committed resources to those cam-

paigns and decided to not heavily fund Republicans in many other contests. In the past, the caucus spread its money into so many con-tests it wound up without enough resources to influ-ence close ones late in an election.

On Nov. 4, the GOP held two seats, won four of the six it targeted and came within a percentage point of getting a fifth. Women accounted for three of the victories.

“I don’t think there was anything real smart in this. We played big where we could play,” Wilcox said.

Restructuring the politi-cal operation also contrib-uted.

While Kristiansen leads the caucus, he did not run HROC. Rather, in this cycle, Wilcox and two vet-eran members, Reps. Bruce

Chandler of Granger and Cary Condotta of East Wenatchee, divided the duties and shared the decision-making while staying in constant contact with Kristiansen.

And this go-round HROC did not exer-cise as much control

in the way candidates ran campaigns.

In the past, the caucus political operatives hired

consultants to manage sev-eral campaigns. This year candidates in battleground races chose their own con-sultants, who in turn inter-acted with HROC as desired.

Such changes increased trust among caucus mem-bers and with candidates and donors, Kristiansen said.

Wilcox had high praise for Kristiansen’s role in the caucus’ good fortunes.

“His biggest talent is he

wants people to succeed,” Wilcox said. “We’re mak-ing progress. We are not the least bit satisfied being a close minority.”

House Republicans are even thinking that in an election or two, they could hold a House majority again.

They haven’t been groov-ing like that since 1998.

On Thursday, Nov. 13, the JC Penny company announced plans for lay-offs at the Sumner supply chain facility.

The Sumner location was selected after review-ing the company’s sup-ply chain activities, Joey Thomas, media relations for JC Penny wrote in an email.

“As we continue our turnaround, it’s impor-tant to analyze and streamline every ele-ment of our operations,”

Thomas said.Thomas said the

Sumner location is sched-uled to close on or around Feb. 6, 2015.

As a result of the facil-ity closing, about 100 positions will also be eliminated.

Thomas said in an email, the employees who do not remain with the company will receive a benefit package and will also receive assistance in finding other jobs at nearby JC Penny stores.

JC Penny will also be offering employees career

training classes to help assist in resume writing, filling out applications and answering any ques-tions about interviews.

“It’s never easy taking actions that impact our valued associates but we feel this is a necessary business action,” Thomas said.

An eastern wind sailed down the west face of the Cascades Nov. 11, slamming into the Plateau and the sur-rounding area while knock-ing down trees, power lines, fences and anything not nailed or weighted down.

The Enumclaw area had sustained winds in the 40s with gusts hitting more than 60 mph, uprooting trees and sending roof shin-gles sailing.

The East Pierce Firefighters IAFF Local 3520 Facebook site reported at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 11 that firefighters responded to 55 calls. Many were for downed trees power lines.

The National Weather Service logged wind gusts at SeaTac of 43 mph with sustained winds of 30 mph.

At about 10 p.m. Nov. 11 a Douglas fir crashed

down across state Route 169 between 400th Street and 424th Street near Enumclaw. The tree took out power lines and tele-phone poles on both sides of

the road.Minutes after the tree fell,

with temperatures hovering in the low 30s, residents stepped out and placed flares on the road and

helped drivers find alter-nate routes before police officers arrived.

SR 169 was closed until Friday while Puget Sound Energy workers repaired the damaged lines and power poles.

The wind continued the morning of Nov. 12 with gusts in the 40s and 50s, dropping more trees and creating problems for PSE workers trying to make repairs.

Black Diamond police officers closed 224th Avenue Southeast and hot power lines were down on Southeast 296th Street around noon. Officers had six calls for downed trees by 1 p.m.

Cliff Mass’ website, cliff-mass.blogspot.com, stated Nov. 11 gusts on Crystal Mountain, “reached 91 mph, while maximum gusts reached 50-70 mph near Enumclaw…. Enumclaw and environs is down-

stream of a low area of the Cascades that allows the air to accelerate westward.”

The wind continued until Friday, although by Thursday evening the speed

dropped except for a few hard gusts.

This week the weather is forecast to return to what is expected for November – many days of rain.

role many important people — often women — have played for centuries.

I deal with her travel schedule and she copes with my midnight story inspirations. It’s a give and take. It’s what marriage in the 21st century is all about. And for us, it’s really never felt that difficult, even when the situations have been hard.

My hero is a member of the Centers for Disease Control and is active duty with United States Public Health Service. She’s spent time in Sierra Leone assist-ing with the Ebola epidem-ic.

My writing career has generally been held on the

sidelines — working at small-to-midsize newspa-pers that cover community events and happenings, profiling individuals on a fairly modest scale — while my hero has been handling the big picture, for every-body. She’s undertaken a mission for public health and panic diffusion; armed with a bottle of chlorine mix, muck boots and Excel spreadsheets. She’s the angel of contact investiga-tion.

While she’s been provid-ing proficiency for a world health problem, I’m sitting at home, working my way to carpal tunnel syndrome.

I’ve lived by proxy through my hero’s experi-ences, which have helped shift my personal and professional perspective. Because, the truth is, I

haven’t always truly appre-ciated the military. In fact, through the years, I tended to roll my eyes at the hero worship over enlistees to military service.

I’d talked to too many people who signed up for the armed forces because it was an easy choice, or his or her only way out. The military members I know generally don’t see them-selves as saving the world and tend toward embar-rassment at the notion — feeling like a fraud when they’re saluted for being stationed in the middle of nowhere USA, biding time with chewing tobacco and cigarettes.

As a prospective mili-tary spouse, I’ve also felt guilty about utilizing any of the benefits associated with the service – going to

the USO at airports, free health care and certain dis-counts. What have I done to deserve any of these things?

Perhaps through karma, my world, and all of those thoughts, changed in August when my hero left for Africa.

Somehow, though I never left the U.S., it was one of the most mentally chal-lenging three weeks of my life. I feared doing anything enjoyable — laughing, smil-ing — concerned that the moment I lost focus on my hero I’d receive a terrifying call. Luckily, I only suffered one of those: A false alarm.

It seems that, some-what selfishly, beyond my renewed appreciation for military service, I have learned to empathize my new fellow sideline dwell-ers — the parents and fam-

ily members of military personnel who sit at home waiting for bad news. No matter the assignment, armed or unarmed, there’s always an extra risk for those in duty and a feel-ing of helplessness for those who wait back at the ranch.

After 12-plus hours a day, without weekends, wit-nessing death and incom-prehensible anguish, it’s remarkable that the current slew of health care workers volunteer at all, let alone volunteer multiple times.

These people have obvi-ous dedication to public health and ethics — mean-ing you’d better have a damn good reason and some plush accommoda-tions to institute a 21-day mandatory quarantine for those other heroes who aren’t showing any symp-

toms.Thus, when my hero

returned, I gladly re-grabbed the reigns I’m most comfortable with.

While driving us home from the Ebola presenta-tion, I noticed the car roll-ing oddly. I found the tire had somehow def lated while we’d been parked.

So, while my hero watched in her military uniform, I sat in the rain and a puddle, jacking up the car and replacing the flat.

What a man, right? Admittedly, I felt quite good for taking care of my loved one during a time of need.

In fact, replacing the tire only took about an hour and I only had to ask one stranger for help.

My hero was so proud.

CORNER FROM 6

Well friends, we have another crazy damned bunch of hellions stomp-ing around in the Middle East. (This being a family newspaper, I’m not allowed to use more colorful and appropri-ate descriptive terms.) In fact, they’re not really

crazy in the strict defini-tion of that term because they have a firm grasp on reality.

Every time they behead someone, every time they massacre a couple hun-dred innocent people, every time they heinous-ly murder a small child,

every time they rape cap-tured women and every time a female is forced to undergo circumcision, ISIS knows exactly what it’s doing.

Of course, such atroci-ties aren’t limited only to an extreme faction of the Muslim faith. Throughout

history, followers of every religion – at least I’m not aware of any exceptions – have committed equally barbaric acts. And I’m not speaking solely of ancient times.

Look back no fur-ther than World War II. Japanese soldiers certain-

ly weren’t devoutly reli-gious but, if asked what faith they “practiced,” most would have said Buddhism. Yet, when they sacked Nanking – his-

torically, it’s often called the “Rape of Nanking” – they beheaded captives, bayoneted Chinese babies and per-formed abominable acts of “explorato-ry” surgery on live prisoners of war, without anesthetic.

And the German troops who slaughtered millions upon millions of Jews and

Amid a season of sweets and special foods, it some-times can be challenging for diabetics to maintain their dietary discipline. But eating certain foods in moderation can help people with diabetes enjoy the flavors of the holidays without compromising their health.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than 29 million people in the United States have diabetes, while anoth-er 86 million adults have prediabetes. One in four people with diabetes do not know they have the disease.

Managing diabetes is more than just avoiding candy and cookies. Foods with a lot of fat or those that are high in carbohy-

day party, eat something

that will satisfy your hun-ger to avoid overeating once you are there.

Ask about foods Don’t be shy to ask the

host or hostess about what will be served. This will help you develop a strategy that will fit with your meal plan.

Limit alcohol consumption

Only drink in mod-eration and eat something beforehand to prevent low blood glucose levels later. Avoid drinks with high cal-orie mixers or ones packed with extra sugar.

Bring a dishMake something that is

diabetic-friendly and bring it to the party. Chances are someone else attending the party is diabetic and will appreciate having a healthy choice as well.

Opt for fruitChoose fruit over sweets

at the dessert table. If you bring a baked good, con-sider recipes with reduced sugar or ones that use a sugar substitute.

Control your portions

Fill up your dish with healthy foods, leaving only

a small spot for something indulgent.

Test diligentlyNow is the time to moni-

tor your blood-sugar levels like a hawk. Monitor your levels more closely so you can see how holiday foods are affecting your levels and so you know if you need to make any adjust-ments.

Rebound quickly Experts advise that if

you go overboard on a par-

ticular day, get back on your feet the next. Exercise, revisit meal plans and cut portion sizes.

Diabetics cannot stop monitoring their diets just because the holidays have arrived. With planning and diligence, it’s possible to enjoy the foods and fla-vors of the holidays with-out compromising your health.

Staying motivated to be physically active in the fall can be more challeng-ing, with less daylight and unpredictable weather. We recommend having both an outdoor and indoor plan so you can select the best activity to keep you on track with your fitness goals and avoid the temp-tation to hibernate.

For outdoor activities, consider a daylight and nightlight route for walk-

ing or running. Daylight routes can be more adven-turous since they are not limited to locations with streetlamps. The Foothills, Orting and Sumner trails are vibrant with autumn foliage this month. The University of Washington Arboretum in Seattle, the Bellevue Botanical Gardens and the former Weyerhaeuser corporate campus in Federal Way are interesting locations to

take the family out for an urban walk or hike.

For nightlight routes, choose a neighborhood that is consistently well lit with wide and even side-walks.

Some of the newer housing developments in Enumclaw and Bonney Lake have these features. The Lakeland Hills neigh-borhood is popular as it offers miles of lighted sidewalks with the option

of hills. Parks with sports fields are often well lit and have nice paths to walk on as well.

For indoor activities, consider following a video or online aerobic, Pilates or yoga workout. Goodwill and garage sales are pro-ductive sources for work-out videos. There are sev-eral online exercise vid-eos for free; these include fitnessblender.com, fit-nessmagazine.com and

womensday.com. Low-tech ideas of Twister and jump rope are fun ways to involve the family with indoor physical activity.

Staying physically active in the fall can be challeng-ing and fun. Good plan-ning can help avoid the temptation to become less active with less daylight and unpredictable weath-er.

Best wishes for your continued success!

Tips for managing diabetes during the holiday season

Health Tips

It is the third week of November and if you have not cut back and protected tender plants like dahl-ias, cannas, bananas and glads then this is your last chance to save these sum-mer bloomers before a deep freeze turns their roots to mush.

There are also some plants not to cut back at this late date. Do not chop hardy fuchsias, sage or sal-vias, hebes, roses or any other rather tender plant material now. Pruning always stimulates growth and this is the month you want your plants to go fast asleep.

The third week of November is also a time to give thanks. If you are lucky enough to live in Western Washington you probably realize we can grow a wide range of plant material in our mild, moist

climate. What you may not realize is that we have a wide range of nurseries in our zone as well. This week, con-sider what gardeners in other parts of the coun-try must deal with and take a moment to bow down to Washington.

Be Thankful You Don’t Garden in

TexasDrought, dust storms

and intense summer heat means you won’t find many fuchsias or ferns but you will find Texas rattle snakes and horny toads. Besides that, you’re expect-ed to wear cowboy boots outdoors – not nearly as comfortable as the plas-tic garden clogs we get to slip on before weeding or watering.

Be Thankful you Don’t Garden in New York City

Prices are higher and people move more quick-ly but what would really drive a gardener mad is the price of any outdoor space in the Big Apple. The skyscrapers of any large city block sunlight from plant life and create wind tunnels that suck the life right out of tender flower-ing plants. The extra noise,

crime and litter are signs that NYC could benefit from more gar-dens and less traffic but this big city is one place you won’t find a cheap source of Moo Doo – or even a moo.

Be Thankful You Don’t Garden in Los Angeles

Talk is cheap but water is expensive in Tinsel Town. Gardens may get plenty of sunshine but gar-deners must use plenty of sun block and also invest in multiple pairs of sun-glasses. If the heat doesn’t wilt your plants the spider mites will. The soil is sandy in L.A. and not naturally acidic so gardeners strug-gle to grow a decent azalea, rhododendron or camel-lia. Yuccas grow great all

over California – and yuc-cas come equipped with a pointy barb at the end of each leaf just waiting to inflict pain on unsuspect-ing gardeners.

Be Thankful You Don’t Garden in

New Orleans, Florida or Alabama

The Deep South may be rich with the scent of gardenias but you won’t be welcoming spring with tulips and daffodils – unless you store these spring-blooming bulbs in the refrigerator for a few months. Gardeners also battle June Beetles, spi-der mites, cinch bugs and snails that make pathways crunchy after a rain storm.

Be Thankful you Do Garden in Western

WashingtonThere is no place in the

world that grows more beautiful rhododendrons, fuchsias, delphiniums, or ferns. We also enjoy fall color, winter wonderlands and spring flowering bulbs that will return year after year. Western Washington also grows the best tast-ing blueberries, raspberries and blackberries, we can harvest several crops of let-tuce and spinach in a single summer and Swiss chard will overwinter and act like a perennial.

This week give thanks if you have a yard, balcony or windowsill and can enjoy the wonder of plants.

Lucky to be gardening in beautiful Pacific NWThe Compleat Home GardenerMarianne BinettiColumnist

If Republicans start to compromise with President Obama, more laws may get passed, but it won’t cause

their base to be excited about turning out to vote, because taking hard stands is what brings out the party faithful.

Further, as time passes, the Republican midterm

advantage may end, as more of the “Silents” die off. Clearly, the Republicans will have to open their doors to minorities or they will be in big trouble.

When I was a teen and

I broke my nose in P.E., the doctor I was taken to gave me a lesson in phys-ics: “When an immovable

object meets an irresistible force, something has got to give.” Republicans need to heed the message the doc-

tor gave me, or they will cease to be a major party in the future and that will be a sad course of events.

Refreshments and Good Cheer!

Three family mem-bers are at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle following a house fire on the 1500 block of 12th Avenue in Milton late Sunday night.

Firefighters from East Pierce Fire and Rescue responded to a report of a house fire at 11:44 p.m. The single-story home was fully-involved when they arrived.

Two of the family mem-bers initially escaped the fire, but one of them went back into the home to res-cue a third family mem-ber before the firefight-ers arrived. They barely made it out, breaking a window to escape.

According to act-

ing Battalion Chief Eric McLeroy, battling the blaze was particu-larly challenging due to exploding ammunition in the home and a large propane tank located on the backside of the house. However, they were able to safety knock down the

fire and prevent it from spreading to neighboring homes.

“Fortunately there were no fatalities. We are very grateful for that,” he said.

A Central Pierce Fire and Rescue medic unit provided mutual aid.

The cause of the fire is

under investigation. The house is a total loss.

Many families have their own unique holiday traditions, but some traditions transcend familial lines to become an inte-gral part of many people’s holiday celebra-tions. One of the more popular traditions during this festive time of year is to watch a favorite holiday film with family and

friends. With that in mind, the following are some of the most beloved holiday mov-ies ever to make it onto the big screen.

• “It’s a Wonderful Life”: Perhaps no holiday film is more beloved than this 1946 Frank Capra-directed classic. Screen leg-end Jimmy Stewart plays a desperate busi-

nessman contemplating suicide during the holiday season. But a guardian angel helps him realize all the good fortune in his life by showing him what life might have been like if he had never existed.

• “White Christmas”: This 1954 song-and-dance film stars Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye as a pair of longtime friends and ex-military men who fall in love with a sister act team that includes famous singer (and aunt to George Clooney) Rosemary Clooney. Crosby and Kaye join forces to save the failing Vermont inn of their beloved former commander.

• “Miracle on 34th Street”: Natalie Wood stars in this 1947 classic that follows the

trial of Kris Kringle, who claims to be Santa Claus and must prove otherwise to avoid being institutionalized. Nominated for Best Picture at the 1948 Academy Awards, “Miracle on 34th Street” won three of the prestigious statuettes, includ-ing a Best Supporting Actor Oscar® for Edmund Gwenn, who played the jolly old man in the red suit.

• “A Christmas Carol”: Those looking for a more traditional take on holiday films need look no further than this 1951 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novella, which tells the tale of bitter miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he is haunted by three ghosts on Christmas Eve.

Enjoy quiet time with season’s favorite movies

Church, 1535 Washington Ave. in Enumclaw. Admission is $10 and donations to local food banks will be accepted. For more information, contact www.cfchorale.org or call 360-825-4259.

• Dec. 18 brings Enumclaw Middle School’s winter con-cert at 6:30 p.m. and Thunder Mountain Middle School’s holiday program at 7 p.m.

• There are no classes for students in the Enumclaw, White River and Sumner school districts Dec. 22 through Jan. 2 due to winter break. Classes resume Jan. 5 in all three districts.

• Jan. 19 is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Schools and gov-ernment offices are closed for the national holiday.

• The annual “Slam the Stands” Special Olympics event takes place at 7 p.m. at Enumclaw High School.

• The Last Five years will be performed at ACT 1 Theatre Productions in Sumner from Feb. 6 to Feb. 15. The musical chronicles the five-year life of a marriage, examining the relationship between a writer and an actress from both their points-of-view. Here’s the catch - watch the writers story move forward, while you see the actress’ story go in reverse! The ManeStage Theatre will also be showing a production of Seussical the Musical on weekends from Jan. 31 to Feb. 15.

• The Enumclaw School District shuts down Feb. 16-20 for mid-winter break.

Mowich Lake is a popu-lar destination during the summer months. But when winter lays its frozen shroud across the lake, human visi-tation plummets.

Energetic snowshoers and cross-country skiers however can visit the lake by following the snow cov-ered access road from the Paul Peak picnic area just beyond the park boundary. When snow levels are high enough to permit vehicle access to the national park boundary you can continue the rest of the way by foot on a peaceful, exhilarating and avalanche-free route.

Trailhead directions: From Buckley follow SR 165 south for 10.3 miles to junc-tion just beyond the histor-ic Fairfax Bridge spanning the Carbon River. Bear right and continue on SR 165 for another 11.0 (pave-ment ends at 1.6 miles) rough-at-times miles to the Mount Rainier National Park boundary. Proceed .7 mile farther to entrance station and Paul Peak.

• Map: Green Trails Maps – Mount Rainier Wonderland no. 269S

• Route is non-groomed and shared with skiers.

• Dogs are prohibited.• SR 165 beyond Carbon

River is unpaved and rough.

Dear SantaIt’s that time of year again. Take a

peek at some of these heartfelt, excited and funny letters to Santa

Claus from children around the area.

Dear Santa,Could you come early this year? I’ve been really super good, but I don’t know if I can last much longer.− Jo, 6Dear Santa,What should I leave for your reindeer to eat? Do they like cookies, too? My mom won’t let me bring hay into the living room.− Samantha, 8Dear Santa, I need a new skateboard for Christmas. The one I got now crashes too much. Band-aids would be OK too.− Danny, 11Dear Santa,I want you to leave a angry birds puzzle under the tree for me. And a toy for Marcie, my little sister. She wants a new barbie with the pink hair and dress.− Amanda, 8Dear Santa,I lost my wish list for Christmas, so please send the stuff I didn’t get last year. Just one thing if you want, I don’t need too many things. Thanks Santa!− Jeremy, 7Dear Santa,Would you rather I leave you cookies and milk or pizza? Dad says you’d probably like the pizza. Write back right away so I can have it ready!− Lisa, 10

“It’s a useful exercise even if we never have to utilize it,” she said. “We’re learning something. That’s good.”

In early October, Harborview Medical Center announced that it would voluntarily accept American Ebola patients who are air-lifted from West Africa.

Wheeler said Tacoma General is one of several hos-pitals across the state estab-lishing a treatment center on site.

Each clinic is to have iden-tified an isolation room and is trained to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The county has identified specific EMS rigs that would transfer the patient to the Tacoma General campus. Wheeler said the governor’s long-term plan is to establish six to seven hospitals across the state that could care for a patient with this kind of infectious disease.

East Pierce Fire and Rescue officials sent a press release saying they are prepared on multiple fronts to ensure that the department can properly respond to potential Ebola-infected patients.

“The complexity of deal-ing with Ebola, magnified

by public fear, requires that we address the issue at the county and regional level,” said Assistant Chief Russ McCallion in the release.

But McCallion warns peo-ple against fearing Ebola in the US. He recommends that the public take precautions to protect themselves from the more common threat of the seasonal flu.

“So far, one person in the U.S. has died of Ebola, while flu-related complications kill thousands of Americans every season,” he said.

Emotional CostIt’s difficult for Jeffery to

keep from crying when dis-cussing the rising death toll related to those she knows and cares for. If Sesay and the others were truly her kids, she would want someone else to care.

“They’re living through hell right now,” she said. “It wasn’t good to begin with.”

Jeffery speaks with her African team over Facetime a couple times each month and almost daily via email. Makeni, which has a popula-tion of 112,000, making it one of Sierra Leone’s largest cities, is a sparsely educated area that was quickly deci-mated in a fashion becoming common in the region.

According to a New York Times article, Bombali, the district that includes Makeni, went from one confirmed case on Aug. 15 to more than 190 by Oct. 1.

Sesay said sick individu-als from neighboring cities of Kenema and Kailahun brought the disease.

With a culture based on eating off one plate, sharing spoons and cups, the virus quickly and quietly wipes out families and circulates through the city.

Officials banned public gatherings and closed the marketplaces. The city is iso-lated, with food coming in, but nobody going out.

Those with infected family members are quarantined to

their house. When released, these people have nothing left to eat and no place to work.

Livelihood is secondary to survival.

Sesay said another of Makeni’s health care workers became infected with Ebola over the weekend. Four have already died. He couldn’t say how many doctors and nurs-es were in the city, but said medical teams from England are helping contain the situ-ation.

On top of the dire health needs, border closures and travel bans have stifled trade possibilities and investors in West Africa, with major potential hits to the coun-try’s agriculture and mining

operations.Besides an impending

food crisis for its residents, cocoa production is another major area of concern, as 70 percent of the world’s global cocoa supply comes from West Africa — 60 percent from Ghana and The Ivory Coast, which could be threat-ened if the virus continues to spread.

The International Monetary Fund has reduced growth projections for the region. The World Bank has estimated that the outbreak has already cost each of the three countries upwards of $100 million and could cost the West African economy between $1.6 and $32 billion in 2015, depending on how successfully the virus is con-tained.

Tourism in Africa is also being decimated, with hotel bookings reportedly down 65 percent in Gambia, a nation near Sengal’s border with Guinea.

Sesay said, even in a best-case scenario, the country will not soon see its version of normalcy. For those who sur-vive, the fix will be gradual.

“It will not happen auto-matically,” he said.

How to HelpSesay said many in his

city did not trust health care workers and didn’t believe in Ebola until they started see-ing the death firsthand. Since then, he sees some positive signs: with people learn-ing to follow basic hygiene protocols and changing the ritual for burying the dead — a practice that has led to countless infections around the region.

“The real problem now is to implement what has been told,” Sesay said.

The Bridge of Hope is involved in a “Rice Bucket Challenge” fundraising, with 100 percent of the profits going toward food, water, gasoline, medical supplies and vehicles that can be used in the relief effort. The orga-nization plans to send a ship-ping container that includes a donated aid vehicle by the end of the year.

Jeffery said the ability to get and pay for food is dev-astating, fearing thousands will die from starvation and malnutrition.

And, once the camera’s turn away to the next disas-ter, those who love West Africa will be the only ones left to pick up the pieces.

“This is just going to bring them way back again,” Jeffery said.

What is the point of worship?

The Psalms are both the hymnal and the prayer book of the Bible, which has made them the go-to resource for the church’s worship. Psalm 95 might be considered THE wor-ship Psalm in the Book of Psalms. There we are invited, “O come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving. O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!”

You see that repeated word “come?” The living

God invites us to come into his presence. Keep reading to find out why. First, the question of how.

The word “worship” in Psalm 95 is a word that means “put your face on the ground.” Really? Literally? Maybe. Why not? When you come before the Lord your maker, come in rever-

ence, wonder and awe, for the Lord is a great God in whose hands are the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.

And when you come, bow down and kneel — two verbs that dem-onstrate submission and vulnerability. In

the world in which Psalm 95 was written, kneeling before someone exposed your neck to their sword. You were literally putting your life in the hands of the one before whom you knelt. Defenseless. Vulnerable. Laid bare. That’s what Psalm 95 is getting at.

The key question of Psalm 95 is really, Why? Why does God invite us to come? Does God call us to come because we’ve messed up and he wants to pun-ish us? You’re thinking, “of course not!” Yet how many of us do not turn to God because we harbor a deep shame about who we are or what we’ve done? Isn’t that really about being afraid God will scold us? If the Lord doesn’t invite us to punish us, then why does he?

Does the Lord call us to come because he’s exhaust-ed and needs our help? Again, you’re thinking “of

course not!” Yet how many of us frantically and fre-netically “work for God?” Isn’t that really about fail-ing to acknowledge God’s sovereignty and foolishly believing the Lord needs our help? But if the Lord doesn’t need our help, then why does he invite us to come?

Does God invite us to come because he’s insecure and needs to hear us affirm him to feel good about him-self? Of course not! But if not to bolster God’s own self-image, then why?

God invites us to come into his presence because he wants to give us some-

thing. The Lord wants to give us a relationship with himself. And in the con-text of this relationship, the Lord nourishes our minds with his truth, purifies our imagination with his beau-ty and softens our hearts with his love.

So come, now is the time to put your face on the ground… and bow down… and kneel… in complete and utter vulnerability before the Lord. Come to the Lord, for the Lord in Jesus Christ has come to you.

See you in worship Sunday!

Psalms: ‘Come, now is the time to worship’Church Corner

Peter LittleCommunity Presbyterian Church, Buckley

Eastern Europeans in extermination camps would probably have ca l led t hemselves Christians. A mere 40 years ago, “Christian” soldiers coldly massacred more than a thousand

Muslim men, women and children in Bosnia.

How do you account for so-called civilized people committing such atrocities? Don’t ask me. I certainly can’t explain it. However, I can point out at least one key com-ponent that contributes to such despicable acts: the

enemy must be reduced to subhuman evolutionary levels or become the very embodiment of evil, the devil himself. Or both.

And this is precisely how ISIS views the “infi-del.” Anyone who doesn’t subscribe to their blasphe-mous and corrupt inter-pretation of the Muslim

faith is deserving of exter-mination, like so many rats. Make no mistake, ISIS doesn’t believe in any religious, political or behavioral freedom and they have absolutely no tolerance for any beliefs other than their own.

Of course, at this stage of the game, ISIS only has,

at most, a mere 50,000 members and only has standard military issue weapons. Really now, they can’t possibly win an all out war with the Western world. Though “God is great” fanatics might explode suicide bombs in rush-hour subways and national shrines, such

shocking events don’t pose a serious threat to the stability and exis-tence of America or any European nation.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

City-Wide Food and Toy Drives

‘Tis the season to give!

The City is partnering with community groups on annual food and toy drives!

• Saturday, December 6, 2014: Drop off donations to the Food Bank when you attend the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Public Safety Building (6:00 p.m.)

• Thursday, December 11, 2014: DM Disposal and Mayor Neil Johnson, Jr. are sponsoring the first annual Food Drive pick up! DM Disposal employees will stop by each home in Bonney Lake to pick up donations of non-perishable food items on December 11th (Same day as refuse pickup day). Keep an eye out for more information by mail & email from DM Disposal on the Food Drive!

• Giving Tree Toy Drive & Shop With A Cop donations: Each year in November and December, the Bonney Lake Police Department gathers gifts of new, unwrapped toys for the Giving Tree toy drive. The BLPD is also accepting donations for the annual ‘Shop With A Cop’ program, which helps children in need to purchase gifts for their families during the holidays.

For information on other food and toy donation drives, visit our Special Events page - www.citybonneylake.org/events#holidaygiving

Emergency PreparednessPower Outages

With high winds and storms occasionally knocking out power, residents and businesses

are advised to prepare now for the next outage that may hit the region. Here are some helpful tips for weathering a storm:• Assemble an emergency kit. It should include

a flashlight, extra batteries, a first-aid kit, a fire extinguisher, bottled water, nonperishable food, and a battery-powered radio or TV. (PSE issues regular outage-restoration reports on their Call Center telephone system and Web site, as well as to the local TV, radio, and newspapers.)

• Have an adequate blanket supply on hand for extended outages. If necessary, blankets or cardboard can be hung over windows and doorways to minimize heat loss from a designated “warm” room.

• Avoid opening and closing refrigerators and freezers more often than necessary. Food in a closed refrigerator will stay cold for about 12 hours.

• Turn off lights and unplug all appliances and sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers, to prevent an overload on your circuits when electric service is restored. Leave just one light on to let you know when service returns.

• Do not use charcoal, a gas grill, or a propane tank heater to cook or heat indoors. They can cause a fatal buildup of poisonous carbon monoxide gas.

• If you use a portable home generator, read the manufacturer’s instructions – well before a storm hits – for the safe operation of the generator. Connect the generator through a transfer device, not to your home or building’s main wiring system, to ensure there is no electricity feedback into the power distribution system where power crews are working on the lines. Do not operate generators indoors or in enclosed spaces to avoid the build up of carbon monoxide.

• If you encounter a downed power line, stay well away from the line or anything it may be touching. Immediately report the location of fallen wires to Puget Sound Energy by calling 1-888-225-5773, or call 911.

• Contact the City at 862-8602 regarding plans for limb disposal or emergency shelter.

Club are holding a first-annual Gingerbread House Contest! Children, teens and adults can enter as individuals, teams, or businesses teams. It all culminates in an evening of holiday cheer at the Tree Lighting Event when entries will be judged for prizes! To download an entry submission form, visit the City’s website at www.citybonneylake.org and click special events, then Tree Lighting.

This year, a Bonney Lake resident with a home assessed at $200,000 will pay the City of Bonney Lake $306

in property tax. Most of your total property tax bill goes to support other units of government. Only 11% of a Bonney Lake resident’s property tax bill goes to the City of Bonney Lake. Your City assessment pays for police protection, court and jail services, parks and recreation, street maintenance, and general government services. It’s not a whole lot for a year, considering that you could pay almost that much for a family to attend one or two Mariners games. While no one likes paying taxes, your Bonney Lake property taxes actually get you a lot for the dollar.

Where Do My Property Taxes Go?

which was the former city hall site.

The proposed bud-get will not be balanced, Johnson wrote, by any use of the $1,145,500 “Rainy Day Fund” or prior-year general fund reserves.

In the proposed bud-get, expenditures appear to exceed revenues by several million dollars. However, Morrison said it is because “the revenue sheet does not factor in retained earnings –

just new revenues.”“To provide the additional

needed capital to balance the budget, retained earn-ings, SDCs (system devel-opment charge) and impact fees are transferred to the capital accounts,” Morrison explained.

The budget also does not plan to create new posi-tions for city workers, and instead proposes to elimi-nate one project manager position and replace it with a Maintenance Worker posi-tion.

“The city currently oper-

ates with one less position that we had in 2009,” Johnson wrote. “Although the city has grown by another 2,060 resi-dents since then.”

The budget, once fin-ished, will be submitted to the Government Finance Off icers Association for a chance to win the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, which is given yearly to communities that reflect the organization’s best budgeting practices.

Bonney Lake won this award for the first time in 2012.
