Spring 2014
The “Art” of Caring
Police Chaplain Art Sphar is retiring this spring, and the
lucky people who have not been victims of crime may not realize the important role chaplains hold for a police department.
Years ago, Chief Ron Hyland asked Sphar to help out. He
had no budget and no precedence, and probably neither of
them knew what an important program they were creating for
Sumner. Chaplains are vital to helping citizens and officers.
They come out in the middle of the night to sit with a mother
who just learned her child was killed. They help call family
members to gently break the news that someone they love has
been seriously hurt. They listen to kids who are upset when
a fellow student or teacher passes away. They are even a
resource to officers who have to work in crime scenes involving the things that few, thankfully, understand or even want
to know.
Sphar, a Sumner resident,
is a Master Certified Chaplain
with the International Conference of Police Chaplains and
received the Ed Stelle award,
the highest award given to a
police chaplain. He deserves a
long overdue retirement, and
Bob Ihler will be taking on the
police chaplain role. The City
will formally thank Sphar at the
April 21 City Council meeting. Retiring Chaplain Art Sphar
Sumner YMCA Progress
The Gordon Family YMCA in Sumner is breaking ground
this spring and heading toward its 2015 opening. New renderings (below) show more details about how the building
will look on the inside and out. Located at 160th and 64th
on Sumner’s east side, the facility will include over 110,000
square feet with two pools, an arts center, a track, and much
more. Regardless of membership, all children in Sumner will
learn to swim here, and teens can enjoy the safe Teen Late
Night free of charge on weekends.
If you’d like to tour the site and learn more about the project, join a site tour, offered April 28, 1-5 pm, or learn more
about the YMCA at www.ymcapkc.org.

CouncilColumn - Councilmember Steve Allsop
You would probably agree
that our Council TV “ratings” got way too high for
a while. There seemed no
end to the “entertainment”
we provided as non-issues
morphed into battles. It was
embarrassing.
In January, two new
Councilmembers took their
seats. One focused almost
solely on bringing civility
back. She meant it.
We recently dealt with
two prickly topics: the
Sunset Chev expansion and
the folks who do smallscale farming on city land.
Middle ground was found
on both topics.
Your Council is once
again functional! Differences of opinion were respected, vendettas were absent,
and the work of the citizens
was once again the focus.
Citizens, while concerned,
also kept a non-confrontational approach as well.
I do have a major concern.
Last year, we rejoiced over
an offer for the golf course
property, netting the city over
$40 million and ending over
a decade of losses. Parks
improvements, lowered
utility rates, expanding the
sewer plant, enhancing our
rainy-day fund -- potential
uses for those proceeds run
the gamut. Exciting stuff.
But, you may have read
in The News Tribune that
an unsuccessful bidder filed
several lawsuits against the
City and the purchaser.
(I guess one isn’t enough.)
The claim is that the City
should have spent more money on bureaucratic process
prior to selling the property.
Now, the City is spending
money attempting to resolve
these lawsuits – money that
could have been spent on
great community benefits.
When a hearings board
dismissed one of his lawsuits
outright for not having any
basis, he appealed.
You resoundingly called
for sale of the golf course.
This individual, who is not
even a resident, could undermine your will. Please pay
close attention to this issue.
The people’s will shouldn’t
be thwarted by one person’s
attempt to take advantage of
the situation.
cana, best rhubarb theme,
etc. During August 8-10, a
map of all participants and
winners will be publicized,
encouraging you to walk or
bike around town and enjoy
the beauty of Sumner’s front
yards, all from the sidewalk.
Think of it as a garden or
home tour without the hassle
of anyone entering your
home or yard. Just remember that the judges will also
remain on the sidewalk,
which means everything you
want judged must be visible
from there. Watch for the
sign-up form, but in the
meantime, plan...and plant...
accordingly!

What happens when your
dreams come true? It’s a
question few ask. We’re
always encouraged to dream:
dream big, go for the gold,
cheer for the underdog. Less
often do we hear advice
about what to do when
we actually achieve our
dreams...except maybe go to
Disneyland.
The reason I ask is because so many “dreams” are
coming true in Sumner these
days. We used to dream of a
community center for healthy
activity and gathering. The
YMCA breaks ground this
spring and opens next year.
Since the Recession, we’ve
dreamed of leaving the days
of furloughs and freezes
for hiring and growth. Not
only is the City able to fill
some long-empty positions,
but businesses in Sumner
are employing over 10,000
people in family-wage jobs.
Another dream come true!
Cities everywhere have
similar dreams, and so many
of those are being fulfilled in
Sumner. I’m thinking about
new bridges, repaved roads
(especially East Valley),
completed stretches of sidewalk, a new
trail, the
lowest tax
rate in the
State, topnotch police
officers,
charming
downtown,
beautiful
Mayor Enslow and City staff proudly reported a

positive State of the Cities to the Chamber.
citizens....
you get the idea.
And we’re not done
dreaming yet. As we update
our Comprehensive Plan,
we’re asking you to help
dream with us. We have a
great City, and we’re needing your help to make it even
better.
As you will read in this
newsletter, we’ll be celebrating front yards this summer
and singing our anthem
together with the rest of the
nation.
There’s a lot going on in
Sumner, and like our famous
Seahawks, victory seems to
be every bit as sweet as we
thought it would be. There’s
always more goals, more
dreams to come, but please
take a moment to savor the
wonderful accomplishments
already happening. Forget
Disneyland, I’m going to
Downtown Sumner!

Sumner is helping the nation celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner, the flag that
inspired our National Anthem. You can help!
The Smithsonian’s National
Museum of American History is leading the biggest
nation-wide singing of the
National Anthem, and Sumner is an offical location to
lend your voice. You don’t
have to be any good--just
bring your enthusiasm, your
red, white, and blue, and get
ready to help make history.
ASK DR. SUMNER:
How Do I Introduce My
Great Idea or Concern?
You have a
question or idea
for the
City of
Sumner but
aren’t entirely
sure how to start.
It’s simple!
One option
is to come to a
City Council meeting and
bring up your issue under
public comment. Mayor
Enslow will refer you to
the staff member to best get
you started. Or, if you’re
not thrilled about speaking publicly, give a staff
member a call or email. All
phone numbers and email
addresses are on the City
website. The staff member
will either direct you to the
right person or address your
question or concern. Your
issue may be already in the
works, and you can learn
more about the topic. Or,
the staff member may put it
on the appropriate Council
committee meeting schedule. Either way, the ball is
rolling, and you know more
about what’s happening with
the idea or topic that’s been
on your mind.
Staff contacts are on
the City website at www.
ci.sumner.wa.us under Contact Us. Council meeting
agendas are linked through
the calendar.

Open in Sumner
It’s been in the news and even mentioned during the
NFC Championship Game: the 2015 U.S. Open is coming to Pierce County at Chambers Bay. Approximately
235,000 people will attend and millions more will watch
on TV. What does this mean for Sumner?
Every hotel room will be full for the week leading up
to Father’s Day in 2015. One week of extra business
is good, but long-term results are even better. Open in
Sumner is the City’s marketing effort to maximize every
opportunity of the Open for long-term results. The effort
includes welcoming those visitors in Sumner, and making
sure they get fed well (in Sumner restaurants) after a long
day at the course. It also means making sure Sumner is
picture-perfect to charm cameras into coverage--and viewers to visit. The City is beginning work this year to ensure
the downtown looks great.
Keep watching for more information, but know that the
City is already working with the Puyallup/Sumner Chamber of Commerce, the Tacoma Regional Convention &
Visitor Bureau and Pierce County to make sure everyone
knows that we’re Open in Sumner.

Check What Your Charity
April 26, 2014
10 am - 1 pm
A lot of local non-profits and school groups raise money by holding a charity car
wash. The City of Sumner now offers a car wash kit to make sure charity car
washes don’t give a lot of grime, oil and pollution to our local rivers.
Contact Donnelle at [email protected] to check out the car wash kit.
City crews will set it up for you at no charge. The kit is available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Be sure to check in before finalizing your location as the kit
needs some key things, like access to power, and Donnelle knows what locations
in town work best.
Look for Sumner’s Clean & Green signs (shown at
right) that go with the wash. If you don’t see it, ask the volunteers if they are using a Car Wash Kit. If they say no, encourage them to try it next time. It’s an easy way to raise money
without costing our local streams and rivers anything.
