I am a senior at White River High School and got the chance to watch how technology grew over the past few years. We are able to learn things from current events going on around the world.

My name is Greg Adams. I have been a firefighter here in Enumclaw for 18 years and have worked my way up to lieutenant. I am the president of the Enumclaw Volunteer Firefighter Association and am very active with the department and proud of the people I work with.
Back in the good old days, in the late ‘60s, when I was in college in the San Francisco Bay area, I remember the worry and consternation that was imagined when Lockheed Sunnyvale (remember Lockheed Aircraft) lost a huge missile contract. Politicians, engineers, mayors, all predicted dire results.
The “Bush recession” actually started a long time before he took the oath of office.
What is worth thousands of dollars and costs nothing? Volunteers.
