    The largest of Enumclaws summer festivals is packing up its tent and returning to its eastern Washington roots.

    Creation Festivals had made the Enumclaw Expo Center its home the past four years, filling the city for four days while attendees attended

    concerts and other activities associated with the nations largest Christian festival. While not on the Expo Center grounds, Creation guests bought gas and groceries, sipped latts and patronized downtown merchants.

    The decision by Creation Festivals LLC be-came public during an Oct. 23 budget meeting of the City Council and was confirmed in a press release issued the following day by City Hall.

    The announcement that Creation Fest would move to Enumclaw was greeted by great fanfare in November 2009, seen as a much-needed shot in the arm to boost an ailing economy. Creation came for 2010 and remained for three more summers. Most of the attendees camped at the site for the duration of the festival, arriving from throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia.

    Previously, Creation had made its home for

    Good times in downtown

    If the citys financial outlook is improving, its a handful of outside agencies that may reap the reward.

    Every November when the coming years budget is subject to public comment and council review the fiscal fate of several do-good entities hangs in the balance.

    This time around, the news looks relatively good for folks who, among other things, operate the local youth center, counsel women in crisis and help the financially needy.

    The budget process begins with a call for outside agencies to submit funding requests to the city.

    Service and charitable requests may fare better

    a dozen years at The Gorge Am-phitheatre in George, Wash., a popular concert venue on the eastern bluff overlooking the Columbia River. When the decision to move operations to Enumclaw was first an-nounced, organizers said Enumclaw was an upgrade due to closer proximi-ty to urban services and the easy jaunt from the populated I-5 corridor.

    Apparently, the appeal has worn off.Creation Festival, along with its

    concerts and many activities, has al-ways been about the camping experi-ence for families, kids, church groups and just about all ages, said Creations Bill Darpino. We love the Enumclaw Expo Center as a concert venue, but we have seen a growing need to be back in Eastern Washington with its

    sunny, warm weather and river front parks, to provide a unique camping experience for our attendees.

    While the Gorge Amphitheatre is no longer in the cards, Creation will be floating downriver to the Tri-Cities beginning in 2014.

    Creation Festival could be a noisy venture, with concerts cranking out loud music until 11 p.m., but was otherwise welcomed by the city.

    Aside from noise complaints from residents nearby, the event had no negative impact on the community or public safety providers, stated the citys press release.

    Creation brought many positive attributes to our community and will be sorely missed, Mayor Liz Reynolds said. I wish them all the best.

    Creation was one of four major events hosted each summer at the Expo Center, along with the Scottish

    Highland Games, the Olympic Kennel Club dog show and the King County Fair.

    The departure of the Christian music festival will likely spur ongo-ing discussions surrounding the Expo Centers fiscal impact on the city and future operation of the grounds, which were turned over to the city by King County in 2007.

    The center has operated at a deficit since landing in the citys lap, but annual deficits have decreased since 2011. Reserves had been projected to sustain operations through 2016 at least, but the loss of Creation causes that scenario to crumble. Now, its anticipated operating reserves will be depleted by 2014. City administration is now reviewing options and op-portunities with a goal of making the Expo Center a financially viable asset.

    The nativity story is a biblical account of the first Christian Christmas. CarolAnn Sanderson

    recently published a book which delves deeper into the Christmas story, which she hopes is chronologi-cally accurate.

    Sanderson is the 70-year-old daughter of a

    Northwest farmer. During World War II, her fam-ily tended to the farms of Japanese internees while they were away. As a child she reveled in story time she said and often fol-

    lowed her father around the farm listening to him spin tales of family and biblical history.

    She was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syn-drome, a disease of the nervous system, in 1955 and declared a quadriple-gic; she wasnt expected to survive. However, 58 years later, she is a grandmoth-er and childrens book author.

    Sandersons most recently published book,

    Two Nativities for Emilee: A Chronology of the Biblical Christmas Story is an illustrated let-ter to her granddaughter Emilee. When Sanderson

    was a young girl, she asked complicated questions about the Christmas story and birth of Jesus such as,

    DISTURBANCE: An officer responded at 7:19 p.m. Oct. 29 to a Porter Street location where a man was yelling that he was going to kill everyone. He was told to cease such activity. After several more calls to the Porter Street address and an additional report of threatening behavior, a man was subject to an involuntary commitment.

    UNWANTED: An officer responded at 8:05 a.m. Oct. 28 to a Roosevelt Avenue address and a call regarding an unwanted subject. When asked to leave, he had failed to comply. Police assisted staff at the business with serving a tres-pass letter on the man, who then departed.

    VEHICLE PROWL: A vehicle

    was reportedly broken into Oct. 28, resulting in a passenger-side window being smashed and a bag stolen. There were no immediate suspects or witnesses.

    BURGLARY: Police responded at 12:47 a.m. Oct. 27 to a report of a burglary in progress at a Roosevelt Avenue location. Two subjects were taken into custody.

    DAUGHTER ARRESTED: An offi-cer responded Oct. 26 to a report of a vehicle theft, with the suspect being the victims daughter. When police arrived, both the daughter and vehicle were at the house; the daughter was arrested on an out-standing warrant.

    MYSTERY LIGHT: A citizen called police at 12:40 a.m. Oct. 25, report-ing a red light was shining on a shed, accompanied by a sign stating police should be called if the light

    was activated. An officer found the building to be secure, but was unsure who owns the building or controls it. A message was left for other city departments.

    HIT AND RUN: Police were told at 3:12 a.m. Oct. 25 of a hit-and-run incident involving an unattended vehicle on Kibler Avenue. A suspect was identified and arrested for both investigation of hit-and-run and driving under the influence.

    WARRANT ARREST: A man called police the afternoon of Oct. 25, concerned that his ex-spouse would be going to his property and removing a vehicle. Officers responded, made contact and arrested one individual on an Enumclaw Municipal Court warrant. The subject also was found to be wanted on a Buckley warrant.

    POSSIBLE DUI: Police were told Oct. 25 of a man pumping gas who appeared intoxicated. Officers responded and found he was not

    impaired but was driving with a suspended license. He was arrested and a family member was called to retrieve the vehicle.

    ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS: An employee at a Griffin Avenue business was cited and released Oct. 25 for furnishing alcohol to a minor. The incident occurred at 8:24 p.m. About 20 minutes later, an employee at another Griffin Avenue business, just a block away, was cited for the same violation.

    COYOTE CALL: An officer responded the afternoon of Oct. 24 to a report of a sick or injured coyote in the vicinity of the Foothills Trail near Warner Avenue. The officer spotted the animal, which took off on foot, appearing neither sick nor injured. The Department of Fish and Wildlife was contacted and that agency was to determine if a response was necessary.

    RUNAWAY STUDENT: A juvenile fled on foot the afternoon of Oct. 24 from Southwood Elementary School. He was located by police and reunited with faculty and family.

    THREAT MADE: Officers were advised Oct. 24 of threats made against residents at a location on Southeast 432nd Street. The suspect was said to be armed and assaultive and the subject of an active warrant issued by the state Department of Corrections. If he was spotted, the Des Moines Police Department was to be contacted.

    BUCKLEYUNDER THE INFLUENCE: A

    patrolling officer watched at 1:56 a.m. Oct. 27 as a vehicle weaved between lanes on state Route 410. The driver also was speeding, prompting a traffic stop. The driver was arrested for DUI and given infractions for speeding and having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle.

    COMMERCIAL BURGLARY: An employee of a Chamberlain Way business told police Oct. 26 some-one had broken into the business. Multiple recreational vehicles had been entered, with damage done

    and items stolen. The case was forwarded for investigation.

    SUICIDAL: Police responded Oct. 26 to a Olsen Avenue address after hearing that an 18-year-old female had stated she wanted to kill her-self. She was later transported to St. Elizabeth Hospital for an involun-tary commitment.

    CAR CRASH: Officers were dispatched at 8:24 a.m. Oct. 24 to a Route 410 location and an automo-bile collision. No one was hurt. One driver was given an infraction for following too close.

    VEHICLE PROWL: A Mason Avenue resident reported the morn-ing of Oct. 24 someone had entered his vehicle and stolen items.

    DRIVER ARRESTED: Police stopped a vehicle the morning of Oct. 23 because the driver was violating the law against cell phone use. He was unable to provide proof of auto insurance and was found to be driving with a suspended license. He also was wanted on a warrant issued by a neighboring agency. He was released with a citation and a court date.

    Those are evaluated by the citys Human Services Advisory Board, which issues recommendations. Those are included in the mayors proposed budget, but the final word on all spending belongs to the seven members of the City Council.

    The 2014 budget pro-cess will grind through November with a final vote

    slated for the councils first meeting of December.

    The recommenda-tions for 2014 have caught up to, and slightly sur-passed, the funding levels of 2010. During the past three years, things took a turn for the worse as the city of Enumclaw like all jurisdictions suffered along with the general public through the Great Recession.

    In 2010, seven agen-cies combined to receive $93,600 from the city bud-

    get. The following year, however, those seven saw their requests sliced to just $32,000. The dollar figure climbed to $56,750 in 2012 and $76,000 this year.

    The recommendation for 2014 is $100,000 for the original seven, with an additional $5,000 penciled in for a new social service effort, Neighbors Feeding Neighbors.

    Heres a look at the pro-posed recipients, contin-gent upon council autho-rization.

    Neighbors Feeding Neighbors: An offshoot of the Enumclaw Regional Healthcare Foundation, this group delivers hot meals to homebound senior citizens. The group requested $3,000 but was approved for more.

    Auburn Youth Services: The operator of the youth center asked for $70,000 but was recommended for $50,000. The organization was funded to the tune of $35,000 this year.

    Plateau Outreach

    Ministries: This group provides a variety of good deeds, from operating a food bank to helping fami-lies pay utility bills. The groups request for $25,000 has received tentative approval.

    YWCA: A $3,000 request appears to be on track and would triple the amount authorized for 2013.

    King County Sexual Assault Resource Center: The organization had received $4,000 in 2010,

    saw that amount slip to $1,000 the next three years and is looking at a $2,000 apportionment for 2014.

    The local visitor cen-ter, an operation of the Enumclaw Chamber of Commerce, had asked for $20,000 for the coming year but has been recommended for $10,000. Also recom-mended for $10,000, after receiving $4,000 this year, is Green River Community College. GRCC has, for years, offered assistance to local small businesses.

    CHARITABLE FROM 1

    How far did the shepherds have to travel? No one had an answer for her.

    With the innocence and curiosity of a child, Emilee asked Sanderson the very same questions. Sanderson, committed to satisfying her granddaughters inquiring mind, found her answers by studying the bible.

    With the help of religious and historical experts, Sanderson created a version of the nativity that depicts the timeline of events, she said.

    Two Nativities for Emilee can be purchased in paperback or ebook for-mat at Amazon. Copies were also donated to the Sumner library and Hope Lutheran in Enumclaw.

    Sanderson has writ-ten five other Letters to Emilee books and is in the process of creating a black and white picture book titled, Farmer Frank and the Thieving Geese.

    Sanderson hopes to schedule book signings and discussions at local churches as the Christmas season draws closer. She has pledged to share the profits made at church events.

  • ALS story should be told on Veterans Day

    The press has done a very good job of reporting about the challenges our veterans face. We all have read or seen stories about our wounded warriors. About traumatic brain injury. About veterans suffering from depression and other serious mental health issues. About those who have lost limbs or endure other physical hardships.

    These are serious issues that deserve our attention, especially on Veterans Day.

    What also deserves our attention, but which gets much less press, is the fact that military veterans are twice as likely to develop and die from Lou Gehrigs Disease as those who have not served in the military.

    Yes, studies show that the disease that took the life of baseball legend Lou Gehrig is striking our military heroes at an alarming rate. It doesnt matter when or where they served in the military; home or abroad, peace or war, from World War I to Afghanistan. Those who served are at greater risk.

    ALS is horrific. Worse than your worst nightmare. It robs people of the ability to move, trapping them inside a body they no longer can

    control. People describe it as being buried alive. There is no treatment. No cure. Only death in an average of two to five years.

    So as the press calls attention to our military heroes on Veterans Day, I hope they remember those heroes who are fighting for their lives against ALS. I encourage your readers to visit the Wall of Honor at www.alsa.org. There they will see the faces and read the stories of the military heroes who are fighting ALS and those who have been lost to the disease. Their stories of cour-age are worth your attention this Veterans Day.

    We learned last week where Washingtons first charter schools may open in 2014 and who may operate them.

    Nonprofit organizations had until then to let the Washington Charter School Commission know if they intend to apply to run one of these publicly funded cam-puses. Full applications are due in a month.

    Of the nearly two dozen letters of intent received, one was in Enumclaw, from a currently-operating private school.

    Also, theres interest in converting a small private school in Spokane Valley and launching a military academy for middle- and high-school-aged students in Grays Harbor, Mason and Thurston counties.

    In Yakima, theres one group designing a

    dual language English and Spanish elementary school and another proposing a campus with a curricu-lum focused on preparing at-risk high-schoolers for col-lege. There also are people wanting charter schools in Toppenish and Sunnyside.

    Professional charter school management outfits want in as well with firms looking to bring their brand of educat-ing to elementary and secondary students in Seattle and Tacoma starting in 2015.

    Not much is known about this early logging machine except for the fact that it was called a Galloping Goose and manufactured by Pacific Car & Foundry in 1923. It was an early skidder or tractor used to pull logs out of the woods. The man standing beside the rear wheel gives an indication of its size.

    Did you know that President Obama is a conservative and the Republicans are activists, wanting to change the government? Youre probably not aware of this but its true.

    The New Deal policies initiated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1930s Social Security and favoring of labor unions have been the norm since then. Democratic President Lyndon Johnson created Medicare and increased welfare in the 1960s, adding to FDRs initiatives.

    These are now the standards.Twenty-first century Republicans

    now want to change the govern-ment to something entirely different.

    Republicans want major alterations. They back small government, with less regulation and government over-sight. They would like to privatize Social Security and cut Medicare. Obama and the Democrats are try-ing to preserve the status quo and Republicans favor radical change.

    Commissioners wont green light any charter schools until February.

    Did millions pay off?What a difference $14.3 million can

    make.Foes of Initiative 522 spent at least that

    much attacking the food labeling initiative and it appears to have paid off.

    The latest Elway Poll taken prior to this weeks election date found the measure lost nearly one-third of its support dur-ing the final month. That is when the No on 522 committee began airing television commercials and mailing out literature on the purported warts of the measure requir-ing labels on foods containing genetically modified ingredients.

    I-522 was leading 46 percent to 42 per-cent with 12 percent undecided in the survey of 413 registered voters conducted Oct. 15-17 by Seattle pollster Stuart Elway.

    Thats a big tumble from mid-September when Elway found 66 percent of voters endorsed the initiative and only 21 percent opposed.

    Not surprisingly, advertising changed peoples minds.

    Three out of four voters who had seen only ads for one side or the other planned to vote in the direction of the ads they have seen, he wrote in an analysis of the results.

    Those who have seen no advertising planned to vote yes by a 17-point margin about the same margin the yes side had before the advertising blitz began, Elway wrote.

    For the Yes on 522 committee which has spent $5.4 million the silver lining is that the measure is still ahead.

    And Elway says history favors them win-ning, too.

    Since 1992, 17 of 22 initiatives which had support above 60 percent in Elway polls conducted in September wound up winning.

    CORNFIELD FROM 6 ELFERS FROM 6

    his administration from 2001-2009. He also appoint-ed 62 Federal Appeals Court judges and 261 District Court judges.

    Judgeship appointments are far more important to the Republicans than to the Democrats. It has become clear that Republicans see the appointment of activist judges as the way to change the government (Toobin, Jeffrey. The Oath).

    It was Democrat Sen. Barry Feingold along with a moderate conservative John McCain who passed the McCain-Feingold Campaign law in 2002. The activist Republican Supreme Court Roberts majority struck down part of it with its deci-sion in the Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission in 2010. This decision drastically changed how much money individu-als and corporations could contribute to campaigns. Democrats and Obama were put on the defensive. And while Democrats struggled against superior amounts of money during the 2012 pres-idential election, they were able to fight off the political attack that came as a result.

    The recent government shutdown was due to an activist Republican major-ity in the House who fought to end Obamas Affordable Care Act. The president and the Democrats had to hold the line against an attack on Obamas signature leg-islation. The Republicans failed, but the ferocity of the Tea Party conserva-tives and the support from Speaker Boehner was cer-tainly a frontal attack on established Democratic leg-islation.

    The Republican Senate has used its power to con-firm executive branch appointments by threaten-ing filibuster and delaying decisions on both judicial and agency appointments. The president has claimed that the obstructionism is unprecedented, even though he has also not been aggressive with court appointments: Obama made 212 nominations with an average wait of 224 days until the confirma-tion phase according to a USA Today study compiled in November 2012. It took George W. Bush an aver-age of 176 days for appoint-ments to be confirmed and Bill Clinton 98 days.

    The nonpartisan Congressional Research

    Service found that: President Obama is the only one of the five most recent presidents for whom, dur-ing his first term, both the average and median wait-ing time from nomination to confirmation for circuit and district court nominees was greater than half a cal-endar year (i.e., more than 182 days).

    Whether you side with the Republicans or the Democrats, you will have to agree that the Republicans are now agents of change while, paradoxically, the Democrats are in favor of maintaining what has become the norm. What is clear is that President Obama and the Democrats are the ones on the defen-sive while the Republicans are trying to batter down the doors and bring about change. The Republicans lost their last siege with the government shutdown, but we only have to wait until January and February to see if they will renew their attack. The 2014 Congressional races will determine whether this trend will continue or end. It is ironic that Obama was elected as the candidate of change in 2008, but he has now become the president of holding the line.

    Both the Enumclaw and White River volleyball pro-grams have completed the regular season, advanced through one tournament and now prepare for dis-trict action.

    The Enumclaw High Hornets are headed to the

    bi-district volleyball tour-nament, courtesy of a third-place finish during the Nov. 2 subdistrict tourney at Auburn Mountainview High School.

    The bi-district tourna-ment will be contested Friday and Saturday, again at Auburn Mountainview, and will advance five of eight clubs to the Nov. 15-16 Class 3A state tournament at St. Martins University.

    Enumclaw opens bi-

    district play at 4 Friday afternoon, taking on a foe from the Greater St. Helens League. The tourney fea-tures a double-elimination format.

    The subdistrict tour-ney consisted of just six teams, with five advancing. Enumclaw opened on an inauspicious note, falling 3-0 to Kennedy Catholic. The Hornets then defeated Bonney Lake 3-0 to close out the tournament.

    The White River vol-leyball team kept its sea-son alive with a fifth-place showing at the Class 2A subdistrict tournament.

    Next up is the West Central District tourney, to be contested Friday and

    Saturday at Franklin Pierce High School. From there, the top five placers will advance to the following weeks state tournament on the Pierce College campus in Lakewood.

    White River will open dis-trict play with a 7 p.m. con-test against Lindbergh High. Being a first-round match, it

    is a loser-out affair.The subdistrict tourney

    saw White River quickly slip onto the losers side of the bracket, thanks to a 3-0 loss to the host Washington Patriots. The Hornets then rebounded to beat Evergreen High and Lindbergh, winning each 3-0.

  • Are you addicted to your smartphone or mobile device? If so, rest assured that you are not alone. A survey conducted by SecurEnvoy found that roughly 66 percent of peo-ple are afraid of losing or being separated from their phones. The condition has been dubbed nomopho-bia, or the fear of being out

    of contact with someone via mobile phone.

    Data collected by the Pew Research Center has concluded nearly 85 per-cent of Americans own cell phones. A 2011 survey by mobile app company TeleNav Inc., found that 40 percent of people with iPhones said theyd rather give up brushing their teeth

    for a week than go without their phones.

    Todays mobile devices are used for everything from checking stock quotes to scouring for coupons to keeping tabs on teenagers. Many rely on their phones for directions or to read reviews on local establish-ments. Many people have grown so accustomed to using mobile phones that

    their reliance has grown into an addiction. Who doesnt know the person who is compulsively check-ing e-mail, sending texts or updating their social media status via their phone?

    While there are many benefits to mobile phone usage, there are pitfalls as well. Instances of distracted

    I am so much more than our pets. Really I am. I am also laundress and chauffeur, appoint-ment maker and grocery shopper. I made homemade chicken soup for dinner last night for heavens sakes. I write, I create newsletters, I am unique, darn it!

    But the way the pets look at it, all I am is feeder, door opener and a hand to pet them. They all have their

    weird quirks and idiosyncrasies and I kowtow to them all.

    The lab, Cedar, is afraid of the dark, so I try not to put her out before its light and I bring her in before its dark. She must

    have her bedtime snack the moment she comes in at night and not a second later. This becomes difficult when it gets dark at 4 p.m. and shes just eaten at 3:30. The snack is to keep her

    tummy full through the night so she doesnt get sick in the morning, so we listen to her grumblings until we cant stand it any longer.

    The terrier, Pip, hates laughter and joy and must not be anywhere where it happens or she gets upset and runs away. She sleeps in my room to avoid it, but creeps out of the room when Ive left to go do something, then acts like she doesnt know where shes supposed to be. I have to shut the bathroom door to keep her out of the tissues in the bathroom garbage and the hall door to keep her from wan-dering out into the rest of the house. I had to get a pedal garbage can for the computer room and shove it between the desk and shelf so she couldnt tip it over to keep her away from discarded tissues.

    Enumclaws Plese cracking record book at Portland

    By Kevin HansonSenior Writer

    Enumclaws Caitlin Plese has made the most of a golden opportunity.

    Since cracking the starting lineup at Portland State University, the for-mer Hornet soccer stand-out has posted the kind of numbers that belong in a record book.

    Plese recorded her ninth shutout of the season dur-ing a 1-0 victory over Sacramento State Oct. 25, breaking the single-season record for individ-ual shutouts at Portland State. Additionally, she now stands second on the

    single-season list in goals-against average (0.74) and goalkeeper wins (11) at PSU.

    The win over Sacra-mento State wrapped up the programs first unbeat-en Big Sky Conference record, as well as the Vikings straight Big Sky regular-season title. The team hosts the Big Sky Tournament Nov. 7 and Nov. 9, with the chance to earn the programs first trip to the NCAA national tournament.

    After graduating from Enumclaw High, Plese sat during a redshirt season in Portland and saw minimal action the following year. She began this season on the bench but, after the Vikings struggled during their first three games, Plese was inserted into the starting lineup. The Vikings have rolled since.

    My name is Katelyn Huff; I am a student at White River High School. I live in Carbonado. I recently moved here from Chillicothe, Mo. I like to write, read and I like little kids and babies. I am also a Christian; I go to Carbonado Community Church.

    I have recently been chosen to write an article in The Courier-Herald. I am very excited to be to able to write some-thing I am interested in, for other people to read. I really like to make up stories and I would like to write poems. I like to write about families, people and children. I like details, describing people or opinion writing. I like to write informative articles to give people information. I am very creative and imaginative.

    I am also hard of hearing so that means I cant really hear that well. I do know American Sign Language (ASL). I also have moebius syndrome. I cant smile on one side,

    but I am a human being just like you! Moebius syndrome is like some nerves in your head didnt develop all the way or right and you may not have any facial expressions. I have had it since birth. I also have a sense of humor and I like to make people laugh. I also would like to write books, movies or TV show reviews.

    My goal after high school is that first I would like to go to college. I want to let God control my life and plan my future. After college I would like to get married and have kids. I would like to be either an occupational therapist or a marriage and family therapist. I would like to be an editor in a magazine, maybe in a Christian magazine or American Girl magazines. I would really like to be a writ-

    er of books! Yes, I do like the American Girl dolls, and I would like to write something for them. I would even like to make up an historical doll for them and write all of her stories and mysteries, or girl of today would be cool too!

    I am currently making up my own family saga. That means I am making

    up a whole story about an extended family of cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, parents, etc. I also made up the town theyre living in. I also like to ask questions so I like to interview people for the newspaper.

    Thank you for reading my article and thank you to the Courier-Herald for letting me write in your newspaper. Thanks to my family and some of the staff at White River for supporting me and help making it happens.

    Exploring a desire to write

    By Susan Etchey

    I didnt have a choice being born a woman. Its still a mans world after all. But when author Suzanne Popp relates her experiences with women she has known and lived close to in Zambia, I know I am pretty lucky to be born an American woman in the United States at this time in history.

    My struggle for survival as a 72 year-old freelance writer is not near-ly as difficult as the threatened and restricted lives of many women in Africa - and other women in similar repressive countries in the East as well.

    Popp, an Enumclaw resident, has stories to tell that make you weep

    and shock you but she will tell you from her first hand experience she see things quite differently.

    Our view of Africa is that it is a violent country, one of turmoil and conquest, but rarely is Africa seen from an African womans point of view, she said. My book is about the struggles of intermarriage, lack of education, witchcraft versus spiritual life, but in spite of all their hardships I want to write about what makes these Zambian woman I have seen and known capable of enduring great trials, to have a vision and keep going in light of what may seem impossible odds. I wanted to tell their stories that are never told.

    Popp has had some credible suc-cess, selling 20 books a day of her first novel of the trilogy called The Bride Price, published a year ago on Amazon.com.

    The heroine of the Chitundu Trilogy is Myrna Chitundu, a 13-year-old stu-dent whose life is marked forever by rape, unwanted pregnancy and forced

    marriage. Her dreams to eventually go to college dashed, Myrna is cast into the subservient role of being born female in her land in this time. A woman of strong spirit she overcomes abuse, derision and tragedy with a profound faith in God. She has an edge over other African women who dont often get what she got. She was allowed to go to school and education is her strength.

    Popp is a profound speaker when she relates true stories about these woman of Zambia that motivated her to write a book. The truth behind this fiction is what is most fascinating and so is Suzannes life and her reasons for traveling and working in Africa in the first place.

    So, if you care about social jus-tice, racism and bigotry, sexism, or womens issues globally, this is the talk for you. Join us at Arts Alive! Center for the Arts Nov. 9. Popp is one of three artists featured from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1429 Cole St. in downtown Enumclaw.

    I recently performed a wedding ceremony for my second cousin and his fianc. They had wished to marry well before this, but circum-stances had prevented it.

    Most weddings are a special day for couples and a reason to celebrate. In this case, the word celebration took on a very deep meaning for both of them. They had risen above many obstacles to get to this day in their lives. They had lived through periods of unemployment, conquered some addic-tive behaviors and pulled themselves out of debt. Now, with each of them having good jobs and healthy lifestyles, it was indeed a time to marry and celebrate.

    When I was preparing my remarks to the couple, a phrase from a popular contempo-rary Christian song kept running through my head. It says Your love never gives up, never gives up on me. God, indeed never gives up, never gives up on us. I told my

    cousin and his fianc that they have another com-panion with them in their marriage and that is God. Just like their own perse-verance and tenacity, God is the steady companion whose love never fails.

    Usually in weddings the scripture from 1 Corinthians 13 is used and quoted; Love is patient, love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. (Love) bears all things, believes all things, endures all things.

    While all of this would apply, for this particular wedding, I turned to the story of Jacob. Angels of God appeared to Jacob in a dream and he came away with a special promise. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.

    When Jacob awoke from his dream, he thought, Surely the lord is in this place,

    and I was not aware of it Genesis 28:15-16. My cousin and his fianc may not have always been aware of it, but it was Gods intention that they made it to their wed-ding day, having overcome many financial and interpersonal difficulties.

    These promises from God apply to each of us every day. I have thought about the story of Jacob and his dream several times since the wedding. It can be applied to many situations where we need reassur-ance. I am glad that God never gives up on me.

    But there is a second part to Jacobs dis-covery. Note that he says God was in this place and I was not aware of it. God is

    always present, waiting and encouraging us. It is when we acknowledge God and give ourselves to God that the power of the Holy Spirit can be our guide. How much easier it is to get through life with its dif-ficulties if we allow God to step in. We need to know that God is in this place, wherever that may be for us at the time.

    The promises of Corinthians seal the deal. When we rely on Gods love, then we can take comfort knowing that love always protects, always hopes, always per-severes. Love never fails. This applies to each of us in every stage of our lives. It is one of those universal truths that encom-passes all kinds of life circumstances.

    Life gets easier when the Holy Spirit is your guideChurch Corner

    Happy birthday to me!And precisely how old am I?

    Well, I hope youll allow me to avoid that question for the moment because I dont think its especially relevant to much of anything.

    Suffice to say, death is very real to me.

    Now, of course, to some degree this has always been the case, except during my prepu-bescent childhood days when I didnt fully realize in a con-crete, existential way that my days were numbered. I think thats true for most of us; that is,

    as children our tomorrows seem infinite. Though children cele-brate birthdays, they arent real-ly aware of time and its passage. But sometime during the years of puberty, we grasp the notion of death, even though it remains

    little more than an abstraction in the distant future.

    Some young people mistak-enly cling to the notion that scientific advances in stem-cell research, heart disease, and dia-betes cures or whatever will extend their lives forever. Yeah, well thats a fantasy. I mean, they may live well into their 100s, but sooner or later can-cer will nail them. Or, if they find a cure for cancer and even if they stop the aging process, than it will be some new strain of vaccine-resistant virus. Or perhaps someone will shoot you. (If it isnt one damned thing, its another.) If nothing else, the body simply wears out; nothing runs forever.

    As we age, the fact of death gradually becomes more and more tangible. Though its a poor substitute for actual life and liv-ing, some of us hope to accom-plish something so spectacular it will leave a permanent, histor-

    ical legacy, thereby assuring us some type of f limsy immortal-ity. But thats just another fan-tasy. Eventually almost every-one comes to the ego-deflating realization that nothing any of us ever accomplish will leave our names stamped in historical fame. Most of us simply raise our families which is noble enough but it surely isnt a mark of distinction.

    Of course, there are excep-tions. Some people capture a degree of fame that withstands the test of time. But these indi-viduals are rare. Very rare. Indeed, the general public will soon forget most of our famous, 20th-century heroes. In 50 years, how many high school students, if we still have high schools, will know who Gandhi and Churchill were? Unconscionable as it may be, it could turn out that Hitler is the most recognized name of the 20th century.

    So, speaking philosophi-cally and/or rationally, what we have, as Albert Camus so elegantly pointed out, is a most absurd situation. We labor our whole lives trying to accom-plish something that prob-ably isnt of any significance and then we die, alone, and are soon forgotten. And rest assured, no matter how many family members are at your side, during the last few min-utes of your life, youre total-ly alone with your own con-sciousness to face whatever it is you face, it anything. And no mater how large your family, within a few years, relatively speaking, youll be forgotten. I have no earthly idea who my great-grandparents were and couldnt care less.

    So it goes.And now I have to take a bath

    and get cleaned up for tonights party. Happy birthday to me!

    Dusserts celebrate 60th anniversaryEddie and Cathy Dussert celebrated their 60th wedding

    anniversary Sept. 26 at the Black Diamond Community Center.

    The couple married Sept. 26, 1953, at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in Los Angeles, Calif. They moved from San Gabriel, Calif., to Copalis Beach, Wash., in 1988, and later to the Rainier View Senior Park in Black Diamond. Both are active in the Black Diamond Community Center and city of Black Diamond.

    He was honored as Hometown Hero in the 2010 Labor Day Celebration for receiving the Silver Star Medal, given for valor gallantry in action by extraordinary heroism dur-ing the Korean War. She was crowned Labor Day Queen in the 2012 Labor Day Celebration.

    They have a daughter, Marianne Dussert, who lives in Enumclaw, and a grandson, Michael Dussert, who lives in Seattle.

    ding anniversary Aug. 28, 2013 at their summer residence in Enumclaw. Both are Enumclaw High School alumni and lifetime residents.

    Special Occasionsfaction. But its not me she wants attention from, its my oldest daughter. She only wants my food: the tip of my banana, a piece of my apple or pear, a sugar snap pea when I have them.

    Cally, our older cat, is the queen of the house. She thinks nothing of coming in the back door and walking across the house to the front door to be let out. She barfs when shes mad, upset, disgust-ed or just wants to irritate someone.

    Then there is Lucy, our rescue cat. Shes insane. She falls into deep sleeps

    several times a day, then goes racing around the house finding new places to hide. Most recently she crawled into and behind my daughters closet drawer. She loves to be petted, then will bite you when shes had enough and jump up like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde terrorizing the house, jumping out at unsus-pecting passersby. You can take the cat out of the street, but you cant take the street out of the cat.

    But I am so much more than my animals.... am I?

    Looking to regain the swagger that came with a six-game winning streak, the White River Hornets head into postseason play Friday night.

    As the No. 2 entry from the South Puget Sound League 2A, White River will host North Mason (7-2 overall), the No. 3 team from the Olympic League. Game time will be 7 p.m. on the White River campus. The winner will advance to the state field of 16 teams while the loser packs away the pads for the season.

    The Hornets make the postseason leap follow-ing a regular season that ended with a 6-3 overall record and a 5-2 mark in league play. The late blem-ish on an otherwise fine season is the two-game skid that followed six consecu-tive victories. White River lost a heartbreaking league game to Steilacoom but was still in position to tie for the league title, needing

    a victory over tough and talented Sumner High in the regular-season finale. That aspiration was quick-ly dashed as the Hornets endured a 35-0 debacle a week ago at Sunset Chev Stadium.

    The matchup looked good on paper, with the Spartans ranked No. 3 in the statewide polls and White River having climbed as high as No. 8. But it took only seconds for the hosts to show their dominance.

    On their first offen-sive play of the night, the Spartans hit the scoreboard thanks to a 69-yard pass

    play.That was the beginning

    of the end for the Hornets.Sumner marched crisp-

    ly down the field for two more first-period scores, with DeJon Lynch finding the end zone both times. A 21-0 lead after eight minutes of play expanded to 28-0 by halftime, as Austin Gregg scored on a short TD pass from Chase Torgison.

    Sumners final TD came in the third quarter, on a 32-yard burst by Lynch.

    White River threat-ened only once, crafting a 12-play, third-quarter drive that started on the

    Hornet 30-yard line and finally stalled on the Sumner 6. The Hornets came up empty when three passes fell incom-plete.

    Final numbers showed how White River suffered. The Hornets punted four times, gave up the ball on downs three times and lost a pair of fumbles.
