Plateau protestors: ‘Black Lives Matter’

PHOTOS BY RAY MILLER-STILL

Hundreds of protestors — from the very young at their first demonstration to the well-
traveled who have been protesting systematic racism and police brutality since the
1960s — showed their support for Black Lives Matter last week. The protests appeared
overwhelmingly supported by those who were unable to attend and were largely without
incident, and what disagreements that were had were either handled peacefully by attendees
or by local police. In the top left, demonstrators held a silent protest at Dwight Garrett Park
on Saturday, June 6, laying face down with their hands behind their backs for nearly nine
minutes to represent the amount of time Minneapolis man George Floyd was pinned by the
neck by former police officer Derek Chauvin on May 25; pictured on the bottom left is Lizzy
Tolbert (on the far left), an EHS student who organized the demonstration. In the top right,
several dozen young Buckleyites gathered to show their support for the movement at the
state Route 410/state Route 165 intersection on June 3. Bottom right, protest organizer and
Thunder Mountain Middle School student Laney Johnson (in the rainbow mask) stands with
hundreds of locals on Griffin Avenue on June 4. For more photos, go to page 10.

New superintendent chosen to Moving Vietnam War

Memorial rescheduled to 2021
lead Enumclaw School District
By Kevin Hanson
Senior Writer

Dr. Shaun Carey stood alone at

the top following a seven-week
search process and has been
named the new superintendent of
the Enumclaw School District.
The announcement was made
during a rare, Sunday afternoon
meeting of the five-member school
board. After convening in execu-
tive session (private) for an hour
and 20 minutes, they announced
their unanimous support for
Carey.
Carey, who will take the Enum-
claw reins July 1, comes to the
district from the Franklin Pierce
school system. He replaces Mike
Nelson, an Enumclaw native who
served his hometown district as
an administrator for 21 years,
first as assistant superintendent
before being elevated to the top
job. Nelson announced in mid-
April that he had taken a new post
with the Washington Association
of School Administrators.

Shaun Carey
Carey began his career in
the 1990s, teaching at both the
elementary and middle school
level. He then spent a decade
as an elementary school prin-
cipal before making the jump
into the administrative ranks.
Within the Parkland-based
Franklin Pierce system, he first
served as director of human
resources (2011-12), was
elevated to executive direc-
tor for human resources and
business (2012-15) and was
promoted to assistant superin-
tendent (2015-18). He was then
named deputy superintendent,
where he is responsible for the
day-to-day operations of a
district that counts two tradi-
tional high schools, two middle
schools, eight elementaries
and an early learning center.
Carey earned a bachelor of
arts in education from Pacific
Lutheran University, obtained a
master of education in curricu-
lum and instruction from City
University of Seattle and earned
a doctorate in educational lead-
ership from Washington State
University.
After Nelson announced his
department, the school board
enlisted Northwest Leader-
ship Associates to assist with the
process of finding a replacement.
From the initial list of applicants,
the board whittled the list to six
and then intended to name a field
of three finalists. Citing the quality
of applicants, the board forwarded
four finalists who endured full days
Zoom meetings with the board,
district staff and the public.
The other finalists were Jacob
Kuper, who has served since 2006
as chief of finance and operations
for the Issaquah School District;
Dan Chaplik, superintendent since
2007 of the Sultan School District
and, for two years prior to that,
superintendent of the Republic
School District; and Jennifer Beth-
man, who, since 2011, has served
the Bethel School District as assis-
tant superintendent of secondary
education.
Keith Mathews of local VFW Post 1949 announced last February that
the moving Vietnam Memorial would be coming to Enumclaw this
August. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic put a monkey wrench
in those plans.
By Ray Miller-Still
Editor
It’s disappointing, but neces-
sary, organizers say — the Viet-
nam Moving Wall, a traveling
veteran memorial that was
scheduled to hit Enumclaw this
August, has been cancelled.
Instead, this half-size replica
of the Washington, D.C. Viet-
nam Veterans Memorial will
be displayed on the Plateau in
August 2021.
Enumclaw VFW Post 1949
made the announcement late
May, saying in a press release
that “the project is a major
financial and workload under-
taking, and [is] not feasible with
the high degree of uncertainty
caused by the pandemic.”
Keith Mathews , a member of
the local VFW post, spent the
last six years trying to secure
an Enumclaw appearance for
the popular attraction, which
is more than 252 feet in length
— nearly the length of a football
field — six feet tall at its high-
est point, and bears the names
of 58,228 Americans who died
during the Vietnam War.
“It was an emotional deci-
sion. On one hand, I had people
not wanting to cancel it because
they weren’t sure they were
going to be around to even be
there next year,” Mathews said.
FILE PHOTO BY RAY MILLER-STILL
“But after talking with the Mayor
and Fire Chief and others, even
other VFW members, it wasn’t
worth the overall risk of hold-
ing it.”
Mathews said the organiza-
tion behind the memorial wall
was seeing other cancellations
as well, so it was easier for the
group to reschedule for next
year.
Although bringing the
Moving Wall to Enumclaw is
being pushed back, the plan
remains nearly exactly the
same: the memorial will be set
up on the grassy fields between
the Sunrise and Southward
elementary schools in order
to have Mount Rainier as a
backdrop.
The memorial expects to be
open 24 hours a day, with lights
and security at night and cere-
monies every morning; veterans
and their families are able to
make special arraignments for
visits by calling the local VFW
post at 206-245-4226 or eor@
telisphere.com.
There will also be a special
presentation featuring local
veterans who died in Vietnam:
Donnie Barium, Gerald Steven
Hansen, Larry Joe Malatesta,
Jeffery Allan Schweikl, William
Fred Soule, and Michael Allen
Hawk.

Enumclaw High students earn state FFA honors
By Kevin Hanson
Senior Writer
Seven students from the
Enumclaw High FFA chapter
received state degrees during
the 90th annual Washington
State FFA Convention.
The convention was a
“virtual” event this year,
in response to the ongo-
ing pandemic. Traditionally,
students from all corner of the
state flock to the campus of
Washington State University in
Pullman for the big event.
A state degree is the highest
form of recognition the state
FFA association can award a
member, said Kaitlin Norton,
an adviser with the EHS chap-
ter. To receive a state degree
gold pin, she explained, a
student must: have at least two
years of membership in an FFA
chapter; complete at least 360
hours of classroom instruc-
tion; earned and productively
invested at least $1,000 or 300
hours of work in their Super-
vised Agricultural Experience
(SAE) project; completed at
least 25 hours of community
service; and demonstrated
leadership qualities.

Districts changing summer
nutrition programs, making
food available to more kids
By Kevin Hanson
Senior Writer
Students throughout the Enum-
claw and White River school
districts will have even greater
Ryleigh Hoffman access to a free breakfast and
lunch this summer.
Within the food service
departments of both districts,
plans have been solidified to
expand existing meal delivery
programs. But, while opportuni-
ties have increased, some crucial
elements of the food programs are
unchanged: foremost, youngsters
from birth to age 18 will be eligible
for free meals.
The summer programs, oper-
ating under the auspices of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture,
are intended to guarantee food
is delivered to families in need.
However, there are no financial
stipulations; all may benefit from
the program.
Leah Perry Enumclaw expanding
to four school sites
Tracy Holyan, who runs the
Nutrition Services program for
the Enumclaw School District, is
prepared for brisk summertime
business.
A year ago, she said, the
summer months saw perhaps
30 breakfasts being passed out
and maybe 100 lunches. Those
are generous numbers, she said,
representing the busiest days.
Now, she is planning to serve
625 kids with “grab and go”
opportunities.
The expanded numbers are due
to an increased outreach effort.
Michaela Schulz For the past few summers,
Enumclaw school employees
have distributed meals at the local
library, breakfast in the morning
and lunch a few hours later.
The world has changed in
recent months and food service
has adapted. Previously, kids had
to be present to get their meals,
which had to be eaten on the
library property. Now, everything
will be grab-and-go, with a daily
lunch and the next day’s breakfast
in a single bag.
Gone is the requirement that
children be present. A parent can
simply drive up, take a sack and be
on their way. The rules changed
courtesy of a USDA waiver,
Kayla Richardson granted because of the ongoing
Free Local Delivery & Pickup
for Service & Purchases.

COVID-19 health crisis.
Another huge difference is
availability. Instead of a single site
at the local library, the Enumclaw
district will operate out of four
locations: Enumclaw High School
and Kibler Elementary (from
11:15 to 11:45 a.m.) and Westwood
Elementary and Black Diamond
Elementary (noon to 12:30 p.m.).
Enumclaw’s summer food
program will begin June 22 and
continue through Aug. 21 (except
for Friday, July 3).
Until that time, Enumclaw
will maintain the meal delivery
program that kicked off when
schools were closed for the
remainder of the year. Since mid-
March, the district has been oper-
ating a grab-and-go system, with
a lunch and breakfast in a single
bag, at Enumclaw High as well
as Kibler, Westwood and Black
Diamond elementary schools.
Additionally, food was delivered to
Cumberland and Selleck.
White River adding
a second location
In years past, the White River
School District has operated its
summer food program solely at
the Buckley Youth Center. That
one-site approached has changed,
according to Richard Noble, Child
Nutrition manager for the district.
Addressing the need to serve
kids and teenagers outside Buck-
ley, the district has added a distri-
bution site at Foothills Elementary
School (just south of state Route
410 on 234th Avenue East).
In Buckley, meals will still be
available at the Youth Center.
Depending upon Pierce County
rules, distribution might be
outdoors.
Meals will be provided between
noon and 1 p.m., Monday through
Friday. The summer program
starts June 15 and continues
through Aug. 31 (except for Friday,
July 3). As in the past, free meals
will be available to those 18 and
younger.
The district is now wrapping
up a food-delivery program that
launched with the cancellation of
classes on campus. Grab-and-go
meals have been handed out at
district schools (except the Early
Learning Center), an effort that
will conclude this Friday, June 12.

Time to harvest some veggies, get others in the ground

D uring the second week of
June it is safe to plant all
warm-season crops, like
seeds of corn, beans and squash
and to add plants of pepper,
tomato and basil to the garden.
Keep harvesting cool-season
crops like peas, lettuce and
radish, as warm weather later this
summer will end the harvest of
these crops.
This would be a good week
to mulch the soil to conserve
moisture. In our area a mulch of
bark chips or wood chips around
shrubs will help to cut back on
the need for extra summer water-
ing and a compost mulch around
vegetables will increase your
harvest.

The important part of your
question was about preparing the
soil. You will need to add one to
three inches of compost or topsoil
conserve moisture. If you cannot
decide what would do best in this
area, try planting a crazy quilt
of plants. Dig in and add a few
plants of each groundcover and
by the end of the summer you
will know which one does the
best in your situation. You can
also embrace the natural chaos of
many different groundcovers in
one area and let them all tumble
beneath the tree with different
patches of color – a living quilt of
plants.
Q. How do I prune a
Nandina ‘Heavenly
Bamboo’? We have one near
our house that has some dead
sections but I see new growth
coming out in sections. This is not
leave some stems with hardly
any foliage but the pruning will
stimulate growth and new shoots
will emerge and your Nandina
will rise again. This type of severe
pruning can be done on most
shrubs in early summer to renew
their growth but should not be
attempted in August or Septem-
ber as the new growth will then
be too tender to handle the winter
weather.

A pastor’s prayer: Lord, help us listen, grieve, wrestle and love

“Lord, I have an article

I want it to point people
towards You. I know Your

“We truly need You and
yet it seems Your church
is not able to demon-
strate Your love enough.
Even as we try to find new
ways to connect, there has
been so much to separate
and divide us. Even what
we call “social media”
has become so very
anti-social.
“Father, I know Your
Word calls us to right
injustice and for so many
years there has been so
much going on that we
chose to turn a blind eye.

of pain. Pain for those
of us who are trying to
look inside ourselves to
flush out anything which
hinders us from loving
one another as You would
have us do. Pain from
having our communi-

effort required to under-

our desire to comfort
ourselves is pushing back
and there are so many
things to distract from our
hearts. Seeing pictures and
videos of businesses being
destroyed, police being
killed, reading posts with

than we can take!

Local resident releases “Tahoma,” tells of Mount Rainier’s natural history

By Kevin Hanson
Senior Writer

Enumclaw resident Jeff

Antonelis-Lapp was gear-

on Mount Rainier, but
couldn’t find a current
book addressing the
natural history of Wash-

The solution? Prod-

colleagues, Antonelis-
Lapp stirred up a recipe
of personal experience,
combined with the
expertise of others, and
produced “Tahoma and
its People.” The paper-
back offering, spanning
274 pages, was made
available in early March
by Washington State
University Press.
The effort was near and
dear to the author’s heart.

Poison Center records increase in poison exposures during COVID-19

By Ray Miller-Still
Editor
A new report from the
Washington Poison Center
shows that there has been
an increase of calls regard-
ing potentially dangerous
exposures to hand sani-
tizer, bleach, rubbing alco-
hol, and other household
cleaners at the start of the
COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the report,
published May 19, there
was a 52 percent increase in
the number of calls made to
the poison center regarding
children ages 0 to 12 being
exposed to hand sanitizer
between Jan. 1 and April 27.
Additionally, it appears
there was a 53 percent
increase in the number
of incidents where clean-
ing agents were being
“misused.”
But before any conclu-
sions are jumped to, it
should be noted that “expo-
sures” to chemicals and
chemicals being “misused”
doesn’t always mean that
someone was poisoned.
An exposure is “any
suspected or actual contact
with a substance which has
been ingested, inhaled,
absorbed, or injected into
the body regardless of toxic-
ity or clinical manifestation,”
said Dr. Erica Liebelt, medi-
cal director of the Poison
Center.
Liebelt gave the example
of a mother sanitizing her
child’s hands before eating,
and the child rubs their
eyes.
Even if the child was
showing no symptoms, “If
mom called us… to make
sure she wouldn’t have to
worry about anything… we
code that as an exposure
call,” Liebelt said. “We also
look at outcomes, and we
would code ‘no effect’” for
this particular example.
“A poisoning… is when
an exposure results in
an adverse reaction,” she
continued, expanding on
her example of the mother
and child — if the child
starts to cry or say they’re in
pain, that would be coded as
a minor poisoning.
“Misuse” of chemicals is
also a term that trips some
people up, Liebelt said — it
means using the chemicals
in an incorrect manner (like
mixing chemicals or not
diluting), rather than abus-
ing chemicals in order to get
high (that’s classified as an
“intentional” exposure).
“I’ll give you a great exam-
ple — [mixing] bleach with
the ammonia in the toilet.
So common,” she contin-
ued. “All of a sudden, they
start having difficulty
breathing because there’s
a gas emitted called chlora-
mine gas.”
Some of the calls that
went to the Poison Center
involved exposures that
were common before
COVID-19, like the bleach/

Liebelt said. But others are

Child care shortage could follow COVID-19 pandemic
Around 25 percent of
child care facilities have
closed across the state.
By Aaron Kunkler
akunkler@soundpublishing.com
Child care was in short
supply before, but advocates
worry that up to one-third of
slots at facilities could disap-
pear across Washington state
in the wake of the COVID-19
pandemic.
Since the pandemic
began, the advocacy group
Child Care Aware said a
quarter of providers they
surveyed had closed their
doors - accounting for about
30 percent of positions. And
it’s yet to be seen how many
will reopen, said Ryan Pricco,
director of policy.
“Some percentage of them
are never going to open up
again,” he said.
That’s bad news for fami-
lies both in King County and
around the state. A paper
released last year by the
organization from there were
only around 64,000 child
care spaces countywide.
Compare that to the more
than 127,500 kids under
the age of 5 in the county to
get an idea of the existing
shortfall.
For facilities that remain,
guidelines from the Centers
for Disease Control could
make it harder for them to
stay afloat. Those recom-
mendations include having
IRS warns against COVID-19 fraud and other financial schemes
The following is a press
release from the Internal
Revenue Service:
The Internal Reve-
nue Service is reminding
taxpayers to guard against
tax fraud and other related
financial scams related to
COVID-19.
In the last few months,
the IRS Criminal Investi-
gation division has seen a
variety of Economic Impact
Payment (EIP) scams and
other financial schemes
looking to take advantage
of unsuspecting taxpayers.
The IRS is continuing to
work with law enforcement
agencies domestically and
abroad to educate taxpay-
ers about these scams and
investigate the criminals
perpetrating them during
this challenging time.
“Criminals seize on every
opportunity to exploit
bad situations, and this
pandemic is no exception,”
said IRS Commissioner
Chuck Rettig. “The IRS is
