Popping the question
 - Apr 30 2009, 4:51 PM Wedding proposals take on a variety of forms, from the mundane to the highly imaginative. But surely one of the most romantic gestures came Nov. 20 and resulted in the engagement of Enumclaw's Bea Fagnan and Justin Murrell. Murrell popped the question in written form, dropping a two-bedsheet sign from the port side of the USS Fife as the destroyer pulled into Pier B in Everett. Through a dense fog, Fagnan, and everyone else, could make out the red and blue letters asking "Bea will you marry me." Fagnan, waiting on shore with her mother and a dozen members of Murrell's family, was given several opportunities to provide her sailor the answer he wanted. She screamed "yes," was handed three balloons spelling out the answer and, finally, was provided a megaphone.

"I was pretty sure what the answer would be," Murrell, 20, said. "When I was gone, we had talked about getting married."

Fagnan, 22, said she wasn't at all surprised her fiancé, a gunner's mate on the Fife, would pull such a romantic stunt. Murrell"s plan was hatched during a cross-state drive in May. He and a Navy buddy had made a hasty trip to Pullman, where Fagnan was completing her degree at Washington State University. She admits she was having "a bad day," and Murrell convinced a friend to join him on the back-and-forth trip, so the couple could visit for a few hours.

Some get a reprieve as city council massages 2003 budget
Apr 30 2009, 4:51 PM The budgetary ax has hovered over a handful of Enumclaw city departments for weeks now, as climbing costs and dwindling revenues forced city officials to make tough choices regarding both programs and personnel. When the ax figuratively fell last week, there was damage done, but the impact wasn't as severe as initially feared.

Enumclaw City Council members have ironed out an operating budget for next year, and are expected to formally adopt the spending plan Monday night.

While council members attempted to ease the pain a bit, citizens will still feel the effect of Enumclaw's 2003 general fund budget. Library hours will be reduced (including complete closure on Fridays), there'll be one less police officer patrolling the streets and there's far less money for supporting the arts, for example.
