Those planning to cut a Christmas tree in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest this year may want to do it before the snow falls in the high country. Permits to cut trees went on sale Monday and will be available until Dec. 24.
Unlike past years, the Forest Service will not plow Forest Service roads 7010 and 75 on the state Route 410 corridor.
“Providing motor vehicle access to the high country can be difficult because of large elevation gains of 2,000 to 5,000 feet and quickly-changing weather conditions on steep, sin-gle-lane gravel roads,” said Jim Franzel, district ranger for the Snoqualmie Ranger District. He said there isn’t enough funding to plow and monitor road conditions. Additionally, the noble and silver fir second growth stands that have sup-ported the Christmas tree harvests now exceed the maxi-mum allowable 20 feet, having originated from commercial cutting of these areas in the 1960s and 70s. The long-range goal for the Christmas tree program is to plant noble fir in lower elevation areas in both corridors, which will take seven to 10 years to become harvestable size.
The Enumclaw and North Bend offices sell approximate-ly 4,500 harvest permits annually.
Franzel suggests harvesting a tree before Thanksgiving to avoid the snow. He said a cut tree can be kept outdoors for a few weeks without harm.
Locally, permits are available at the Enumclaw ranger sta-tion, 450 Roosevelt Ave. The phone number for the office is 360-825-6585.
Permits also are being sold at stations in Sedro-Woolley, Darrington, Granite Falls, Skykomish, Lynnwood and Seattle.

Santa Claus will be making his Plateau rounds this season, appearing at events stretching from Black Diamond to Sumner.
Man of the Season
By Donald Langlois
The snow season has arrived in the Northwest and the danger of avalanches
again threatens backcountry snowshoers and skiers.
A few years back, my part-ner, Georgeann, and I made the one-day drive east on the
Trans-Canadian Highway, headed for Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park (not to be confused with Glacier National Park in Montana), with the goal of ski touring some of the most elegant and dangerous snow slopes in the west. There are no ski lifts at Rogers Pass, but this makes it a favorite destination loca-tion for backcountry skiers.
The road to the pass took us west from Revelstoke, B.C., and wound its way up the Illecillewaet (Ill-eh-sill-eh-wet) River, hugging the valley sides as timbered slopes rose steeply to unseen summits on one side. Signs saying, “Avalanche Zone. No Stopping,” warned of danger and huge piles of snow along
the road testified to the truth of the warning signs. Heavily constructed snow sheds cov-ered the highway in places where the biggest slide paths crossed the road.
At the summit of Rogers Pass, the rocky north face of Mount MacDonald rose a neck-craning 5,000 feet from the road. Next to that peak was Avalanche Mountain with a slide path like a giant, pitched roof, a kilometer wide and bordered by a trim-line of dark evergreen trees indicating the extent of the avalanches. The open slopes and pointed summits above were the purest white. Across the road from Avalanche Mountain is Glacier Park Lodge, a steep-roofed motel that caters to busloads of tourists in the summer with winter providing a slim but growing business of ski tour-ists who can hike on skis for the day and return to a warm room, hot tub and fine dining.
Behind the lodge is Mount Tupper, another craggy peak with horizontal rock strata and snow-filled gullies slic-ing its south face, feeding avalanches onto the snow-
sheds below. Keeping the road open for commerce is a priority for the highway department and has been a struggle since the 19th cen-tury. As I passed the piles of avalanche debris, I reflected on how much avalanches had affected my life, the lives of other adventure seeking backcountry skiers and the lives of the men who opened this rugged country almost 150 years ago.
Georgeann and I did our first ski tour departing out the back door of the lodge destined for Balu Pass at the head of Connaught Creek. This trail took us across some deadly slide paths. Our safe ascent of the valley was made only after carefully assessing the snow condi-tions and after choosing the safest terrain in the valley. As we skied up the Connaught, I thought of the two high pro-file avalanche accidents that had happened nearby only a few weeks prior to our visit. Near the Durrand Glacier, a famous ski guide led 21 ski-ers up a slope he had deemed safe. The slope avalanched and buried 13 skiers, killing seven before they could be
dug out. Twelve days later, a group of high school stu-dents were buried in a slide just a 30-minute hike up Connaught Creek. In this case, 17 skiers were traveling up the valley when a huge slide broke loose 3,000 feet above them. The torrent of snow traveled more than a mile down the mountainside and down the valley over-whelming the group, creat-ing a debris pile 1,500 feet across.
My own history with ava-lanches spans more than years of winter mountain-eering in avalanche country, where adventures on the snow are tempered with the caution. Constant vigilance, a survival mechanism, is the watchword when traveling in avalanche country and the heightened level of sensory awareness is stimulating; akin to that of wild animals attuned to their surround-ings. Beginning in 1977 with my first avalanche training course, I was harshly intro-duced to the realities of what I had learned. Two weeks after training, I was called

out on an avalanche accident on Mount Rainier where I had to give CPR to a cold and lifeless victim.
I was once hiking with two companions across some big snow slopes in Alaska, when we stopped for a lunch break. During our short rest, it became foggy, reducing visibility to 10 feet and a sprinkle of rain began. As my partners fin-ished packing, I started forward to take my turn breaking trail in the snow, but after taking about five steps, I stopped. Sensing a sudden change in the snow, I hesitated to walk forward in the whiteout, feeling I should not take the next step. I called to my friends, “I don’t like this,” and a moment later, an avalanche released and flew by me, invisible in the fog, but not more than 25 feet away. On another occasion, climbing a snow slope, moving from tree to tree as islands of safety, I decided to get off the suspicious slope and a big slide crashed down five minutes later.
Being expert is no guarantee of immunity from avalanche accidents. Ever cautious, I still managed to be swept away by a small slides a few years ago and worst of all, I lost two good friends
to avalanches. Their deaths were not prevented by the fact that they were both avalanche profes-sionals and these personal experiences remind me of the risks involved in avalanche country.
The winter wilderness of snowy mountains is worth the effort, as the rewards are great: the muffled sounds in a thickly blanketed forest as I push my ski forward through soft snow; the sight of snowshoe hare tracks revealing a wild creature’s movements; the howling wind stinging my face with icy crystals; the elegant curves of frozen snow waves, known as cor-nices, formed by the wind on the ridge tops; the satisfaction of reaching a high goal and the exciting anticipation of the run down; the thrill of a swift, smooth, sinuous descent, carving arcs, with skis floating, almost flying over the soft powder snow.
Georgeann and I spent several days skiing around Rogers Pass, avoiding the most dan-gerous areas which were near the ridge tops. Several days later, after many miles of snow passing under our skis, we finished our ski trip unscathed.
The mountains call, and we respond. To avoid the risk, I could avoid going to the moun-tains, but as Helen Keller said, “Life without risk is no life at all.”
Parade always a hit
Enumclaw’s holiday parade always draws a big crowd downtown. This year’s event is planned for Dec. 3 and will again travel along Cole Street.
November 23It’s an early-release day
for all students in the White River School District and there will be no afternoon kindergarten.
The Plateau area’s annual Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service is at Sacred Heart this year at 7 p.m.
It is a gathering of all the Christian churches in the spirit of Thanksgiving to give thanks for the many blessings we have received. Different leaders of the churches share prayer and Scripture and song.
November 24It’s the annual day for
overindulgence. Eat too much, enjoy family and watch football. There’s not much else to do, as the Thanksgiving holiday has closed all governmen-tal offices, including schools. Most are closed Friday, too.
November 25Stage Door Productions
presents two performanc-es of “It’s a Wonderful Life” radio show at the Buckley Multi-Purpose Building, 811 Main St. Complimentary des-sert buffet begins at 6:30 p.m. with the show start-ing at 7:30 Nov. 25 and 26. Admission is $15. Bring a nonperishable food item for the Buckley Food Bank and get $3 off admission.
Come see Sumner’s bridge lit up for the holi-days, courtesy of the Old Cannery Furniture Warehouse.
November 26Buckley’s tree-lighting
ceremony – which includes the large community Christmas tree and smaller trees along state Route 410 – is planned for 4:30 to 6 p.m. The White River High band will play and those
attending can warm up with hot cocoa and cider.
Bah, humbug! Enjoy a Charles Dickens classic at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center when ManeStage Theatre Company per-forms the musical version of “A Christmas Carol.” Tickets are $18 general admission; $15 for students and seniors; and $10 for children 10 years old and younger. The shows run through Dec. 11.
November 28Wear Read for Ed –
The Enumclaw Education Association is asking community members to wear red clothing Nov. 28 to show their support for public education. The day was picked because its the first day of the spe-cial Legislative session to balance state budgets and
there are substantial cuts to education being consid-ered.
December 1The Enumclaw High
School auditorium plays host to the Southwood Elementary Magic Strings concert. The show gets under way at 7 p.m.
December 2It’s time for the annual
Christmas tree lighting cer-emony in Black Diamond. The event gets rolling at 6:30 p.m. at the community center. The fire department gives Santa a ride to the center; Santa lights the tree at 7 and will be available for photos. Local musician Stan Terrell will lead carol-ing at 6:30pm, Santa lights the tree at 7pm, and will be available for pictures afterward. Cookies and hot cocoa will served for your enjoyment.
Plateau Community Players presents “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” a one-hour, kid-friendly show scheduled to open at 7 p.m. Dec. 2 at the White River High School theater with additional shows at 1, 3:30 and 7 p.m. Dec. 3. Tickets are $5.
The play is about the Herdmans, the worst kids in the history of the world. A group that lies, steals, smoke cigars, swear, hit little kids and invades church one Sunday and decides to take over the annual Christmas pageant. The Herdmans have never heard the Christmas story and their interpretation has a lot of people up in arms, but in the end the Christmas message is clear.
This is also a food drive for Plateau Outreach Ministries.

Sweets and suds – a holiday classic.
Sumner residents don’t have to look far for holiday gifts and housewarmers for adults or children.
For adults who want a house full of the smells of Christmas spirit, Folkart Gatherings offers a selection of Irvin’s-brand electric tart warmers. The tart warmer is a flameless alternative to candles. Though named for a candle-powered kitchen device that would literally warm the bottoms of pastries, in this case the heat and light source is a plug-in electric warmer, and the “tart” is a solid wax puck.
For parents, the holidays present an opportunity to dress up a new baby or toddler in cute, seasonal outfits.
Ashley Salas of Sugarbabies offers a tidy selection of holiday outfits. She suggested a Mud Pie holiday tutu combo.
Both stores are located in Sumner’s historic downtown.
Some of the best gifts can be found in our own backyards

Want to know what capability in a full-size pickup truck is all about? Read on. Ford engineers drew from their extensive experience using direct
injection technology and turbocharging in diesel engine development and created the innovative EcoBoost® engine option that’s unsurpassed in
combined power, efficiency and capability. Direct injection produces a cooler, denser charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel, while the two
small air-to-air intercooled turbochargers spool up much more quickly than a single large turbo. What you experience is instantaneous low-end torque
responsiveness with virtually no turbo lag.

2012 FORD F-150 ECOBOOST
2012 FORD Focus ElectricThe new Focus Electric runs exclusively on electricity stored in powerful, state-of-the-art batteries, which means it never needs a drop of gas. It comes with a unique instrument panel that helps you closely monitor your energy consumption when you drive, to make sure you get the most miles, and fun, out of every charge.
2012 FORD FiestaBesides the interior style touches, the 2012 Ford Fiesta is now being offered with a sport appearance package. It includes blacked-out side mirrors, grille-surround, upper rear-hatch spoiler and a set of 16-inch polished alloy wheels. When equipped with a manual transmission, the standard 4.07 gear ratio gets swapped out for a 4.25 final drive ratio, meaning off-the-line acceleration should prove to be a bit more brisk.
