Shared costs may drive homeowners out of North Bend

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

The numbers are overwhelming. The city of North Bend has been working for five months on dividing $19.27 million worth of sewer project expenses among 403 properties, both com-mercial and residen-tial, which are taxed at different rates, and assessed at even more widely varying rates.

The properties, absorbed in 2009 with the Tanner annexation, are “odd-shaped, differ-ent-zoned, in various states of development,” explained Public Works Director Ron Garrow.

Snoqualmie school board comes full circle on freshman center, bond


A new bond, new middle school boundaries, and a new way of handling the ninth grade transition into high school are all becoming certainties for the Snoqualmie Valley School District.

With a unanimous, if reluctant vote on some board members’ parts, the

Snoqualmie Valley School Board, at nearly midnight Thursday, March 8, ordered a bond issue for construction of a new middle school, in time for the February 2013 primary election.

That vote was immediately followed by a 3-2 decision to proceed with the district’s 2010 commitment to annex Snoqualmie Middle School into the Mount Si High School campus, and convert it to a freshmen-only campus, called the Freshman Learning Center (FLC).

Snoqualmie Middle School teacher Jerry Hilburn spoke with verve about how much he hates to see a district so divided, and what a “horrible idea” middle school annexation would be: “First we’re told the high school is overcrowded, then we’re told ‘no, it’s for programs.’ Which is it?” See CAMPUS, 2

Retail redevelopment in works on Bendigo Blvd.


No paperwork has been filed yet, but North Bend resi-dents along Park Street and Bendigo Boulevard are specu-lating about what big-name retailer, Bartell’s or Walgreen’s, might be coming to their block by the end of this year.

Several lots along Bendigo and Park, in the 100 block of West Park Street may be included in a commercial redevelopment that attorney Tom Sroufe, partnering with land-owner James C. Borgen, has proposed.

Sroufe said he hoped to make an announcement on the project within the month.

www.valleyrecord.com2 • March 14, 2012 • Snoqualmie Valley Record

Board president Dan Popp and members Marci Busby and Scott Hodgins voted in favor. Geoff Doy and Carolyn Simpson were opposed.

The annexation dominated most of the evening’s discus-sion, which began at 6:15 p.m. with the board hearing public comment on the proposed plan. Nearly 100 people filled the room to comment, listen, applaud and occasionally inter-rupt speakers with angry com-ments from the opposing side. At issue were the repercussions: Giving nearly 500 freshman their own dedicated campus and staff versus isolating them from the opportunities they might have at the high school; and the transition back to two middle schools for 1,500 sixth-

through eighth graders, with its potential for increased program-ming options at the now under-capacity Chief Kanim Middle School, as well as the potential for student safety issues associ-ated with overcrowding.

The arguments were emo-tional, logical, and, in a few cases, theatrical, as speakers played to the crowd, and the crowd played along.

Parent Kim Hagen, remind-ing the board that “we’re all in this together” and asking them to proceed with the annexation, got thunderous applause when, mid-sentence, she got a signal from Popp that she had only 30 seconds left of her two allotted minutes to speak.

“This is about what’s best for our children, and what’s best for our children now is not to wait another—30 seconds.”

Laurie Hollasch, a Redmond

resident, called on the board to stay with its plans for the FLC, and presented a letter with that

plea, signed by 349 people. Eric Ploof, also of Redmond, warned the board the district would lose its “diamond in the rough” qual-ity if it did not create the fresh-man campus. Miranda Thorpe urged the board to proceed, saying Chief Kanim Middle School is underutilized right now, and can handle the addi-tional students that would come if Snoqualmie Middle School were closed. Anne Stedman of North Bend, a member of the High School Education Program Study Committee, told the board “Ninth grade mat-ters.”

Former school board mem-ber Caroline Loudenback, a North Bend resident, stood by her vote to proceed with the annexation, then volunteered to “put a face” on why “freshmen are different.”

“That’s my daughter, three

Fs her freshman year,” she said. “She took hits to the head, she had to give up soccer which was her passion. I have an older daughter… who sailed through high school. Everything went right. This isn’t a decision for the kids who are going to make it regardless.”

Many parents referred to the 2003 bond that built Twin Falls Middle School, stressing smaller middle schools.

“We voted as taxpayers, as parents, to have three middle schools,” Lanice Gillard of Snoqualmie said. “I don’t see how we can honestly let our only middle school in Snoqualmie go to the high school, when it is not overcrowded.”

Snoqualmie resident Laurie Gibbs raised several issues with the proposed FLC, including people’s apparent preference for smaller middle schools, a lack of widespread public support for the FLC —“the people are divided, this room is divided!” she said—and deficiencies in the process that led to the proposed annexation. She said she’d read the district’s reports and analy-sis, and found no information on the potential impact of the change on middle school stu-dents.

Gibbs said the committees whose recommendations led to the FLC plan, the Long-term Facilities Planning Committee and the High School Education Program Study Committee, “did not include staff members from SMS, Twin Falls, or Chief Kanim Middle School. This would lead me to suspect the impact this decision would have on middle school learning has not been fully vetted.”

Several SMS teachers also spoke up about not being included in the decisions, and having no information about what the change might mean to them in the future. Science

teacher Jerry Hilburn first said he hated seeing the district in such a divided state. He called the plan “a horrible idea” and, with a reference to the prophet Cassandra of Greek legend, made his own prophesies:

“The high school will not improve if we do this. The prob-lems with the high school are structural,” Hillburn said. The FLC won’t work, he said, and there are no successful examples to be found in the state.

“We have three great middle schools,” Hillburn said. “But we’re going to have problems with those two big schools.”

Doy, Hodgins and Popp emphasized that they wanted to have three middle schools in the district, however only Doy felt there was time to wait for another middle school to be built before proceeding with the annexation. Doy said he still had many questions, but liked the concept of the FLC, although he didn’t think it needed to be in its own campus. He also wished he’d known some of the infor-mation presented that night a year ago, implying that he could have been the one vote that would have passed the bond last February.

During the meeting, Simpson made it clear that she felt the plan had not been thoroughly communicated to and cleared by the public.

“To do something this unique and innovative, we need to have a lot of people on board,” she said afterwards.

Popp argued that that work had already been done, and he didn’t want to wait any longer. He and Busby agreed with Hodgins on his point that “the greatest need is at the high school.”

However, Hodgins was also adamant about having another middle school, and asked to table the vote on the annexation until they could discuss and vote on the bond issue.

“I think we do need another middle school… I don’t want to leave here tonight without that second motion (for the bond),” he said.

Simpson noted that the district only needed another middle school if they were com-mitting to taking over SMS as a freshman campus, adding that she wasn’t ready to vote on the issue, when Popp, saying, “The way forward is to make a deci-sion,” called for a vote.

Popp told her, “I don’t believe you will ever move forward on it.”

Audience members called Popp to task for several of his comments during the discus-sion, but the board president later defended himself, saying he was speaking from the heart, as were many of the people in the room for the meeting.

To residents disappointed by the decision, he said “I under-stand their concerns. We will work in every direction to allevi-ate those concerns.”

Monument stone comes home

Seth Truscott/Staff Photo

Snoqualmie Valley Veteran’s Memorial Committee members Dave Battey, Christy Lake and Dave Lake gather Friday, March 9, to watch the installation of the completed monument stone at the Snoqualmie memorial site. Quiring Monuments installed the heavy block, which replaced a smaller stone that had filled its space for the Veteran’s Day, 2011, dedication. This spring, personalized bricks will be put in place around a Sycamore Legacy Tree. To learn more about the monument, visit post79.org/SnoqualmieValleyVeteransMemorial.

Garrow oversaw the installation of sewer service throughout the annexed area.

Because of the challenges in dividing the costs fairly, Garrow said the city decided that “the best way to do it, to make it equi-table to all, is to determine the amount of benefit… what’s the value of the property before sewer and after sewer?”

However, the current proposed assessment rolls show a total of $25.8 million in benefit amount to the properties, or about $6.5 million more than the project cost.

To a few property owners, the process doesn’t seem fair at all.

Kathy Riley immediately tears up at the thought of their assessment, which, thanks to timely appeals, has already been reduced twice, to almost $169,000. It’s still too much for she and her husband Sam (who says no one could print anything he has to say about the situation) to pay on the home and five acres they’ve lived in for 45 years.

“We’ve basically got Social Security, and that’s it,” she said, sitting in the living room that they’d kept closed off all winter to save on heating costs.

The Rileys raised nine children in their large, not lavish house, and they planned to live there until they couldn’t live on their own any more. They had no intention of developing the property into the 20 single-family homes it could potentially support according to the assessor, she said, and they have no intention of hooking up to the sewer system while their septic tanks continue to function.

Although the city is offering residents a 20-year financing option, as a lien against their properties, Riley says that will amount to a $20,000 annual payment that they also can’t afford. She and her husband have started looking at other homes, in anticipation of being forced to sell theirs.

“From our standpoint, it really isn’t fair,” Riley said. “We have no intention of developing it... if we have to give it up, it’s going to break our hearts.”

Riley and her neighbors are a vocal minority on the assess-ment issue. They were part of the 34 who initially appealed their assessments to the hearing examiner. Following his decision, they were among 23 who advanced their appeals to the North Bend City Council.

The council reviewed the information at a Feb. 21 executive session, and plans to discuss it further at next week’s regular council meeting, 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, at the Mount Si Senior Center.

One more appeal, to superior court remains to the affected property owners.

The Tanner property was annexed in 2010. At the request of several property owners, the ULID was formed to fund the installation of sewer lines into the new area.

Petitions for forming ULIDs are based on the amount of property, in area, represented by the property-owners request-ing it. More than 50 percent of the property must be repre-sented on the petition for it to proceed, and Garrow recalled that “It was a lot of commercial area that was wanting to form this.” Residential properties later joined the petition.

Because this petition came from the property owners, Garrow said, they were asked to bear the entire cost of the project.

Valley man dies after fleeing police

Evading a felony warrant, Fall City man has heart attack after being trapped in Tokul Creek

A 31-year-old Fall City man went into cardiac arrest and died Friday, March 9, as he was being transported to an Issaquah hospital. The man had been rescued from Tokul Creek, where he’d been stuck on a log jam for about 25 minutes, in an attempt to flee arrest.

The incident began at 8:20 a.m., when a Snoqualmie police officer began following the man’s vehicle on Mill Pond Road and then north onto S.R. 202. The officer pulled the vehicle over after observing it following another vehicle too closely.

The driver stopped the car near the entrance to the Snoqualmie Valley Rifle Range on Fall City-Snoqualmie Road, then fled the car on foot. There were three passengers in the vehicle, so the officer called for backup and stayed with the passengers until backup arrived and he could con-tinue his pursuit.

Soon, the pursuing officer heard the man calling for help, and found him stuck on a log jam. He called the Snoqualmie Fire Department, which extracted the man from the log jam after a few attempts. They estimated he’d been in the water for 25 minutes.

The man had an outstanding felony arrest warrant. One of the passengers was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant, and the other two passengers were released and given a ride home.

Sroufe could not comment on possible tenants, however “It may happen, it may not happen,” he explained. Sroufe was

reluctant to discuss the project until he had a committed tenant. Initial discussions about the project with the North Bend

Planning Department last August indicated that the devel-opment would likely be a 14,000 square-foot retail space, which is an allowed use of the properties, zoned downtown commercial. Senior Planner Jamie Burrell noted that the project could require a traffic study, a SEPA environmental review, and several public hearings, but could still be com-pleted within the calendar year.

“Construction is pretty quick,” she said. “My understand-ing is that they should be ready pretty soon.”

The size of the proposed store is slightly larger than city code allows, but the project could apply for a conditional use permit to allow the larger size in exchange for meeting additional requirements of the city, such as nicer materials or more landscaping, Burrell added.

As of March 7, the city’s planning department had not received any additional information on the proposed proj-ect, although they’d heard from at least one resident of the block, who was concerned about how the building, which she expected to be a Bartell’s, would fit with the city’s look.

Man dies in hiking accident at Rattlesnake Ledge

A 32-year-old man was killed Friday afternoon when he fell down a cliff while hiking on the Rattlesnake Ledge trail near North Bend.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office received a call at about 4:45 p.m. Friday, March 9, from another hiker on the trail who saw the man fall. The witness hiked down the 300-foot embankment and found the man dead.

Sheriff ’s Office Search and Rescue members arrived and confirmed that the man had died at the scene. The sheriff ’s office believes the man was hiking alone when the accident occurred.

The man’s identity has not been released, pending family notification.


For those who watched their property go underwa-ter on February 21, this week’s for you. Today marks the midpoint of Flood Awareness Week, observed March 12 to 18.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, and the National Weather Service created Flood Week to spread awareness of high water threats during the spring melt.

It’s a time to ask yourself and your family a few basic questions: Is my home at risk? Do we have a plan and an emergency kit? Are our important documents safe? Do we have flood insurance?

It’s interesting that the 2012 Flood Week comes at a time when FEMA is in a court battle with the National Wildlife Federation over whether its national flood insurance program harms wild animals and their habitat, by allowing development in floodplains. Local cities defend the flood insurance program, arguing that without insurance, no one would ever build in a river town.

I see the ecologists’ argument—that it’s just plain boneheaded to build up in places where floods will, sooner or later, devastate your investment and trash the environment.

But, boneheadedness aside, I’ve spent most of my life in river towns, and I’’ll eat my hat if they all vanish.

I grew up on the Snake River in Eastern Washington, a river utterly tamed, and that control has carried its own drastic ecological consequences. Before coming to the Snoqualmie’s wild watershed, I spent years in the Nisqually Valley, where a flood from Mount Rainier once wiped out most of the river town of McKenna. FEMA buyouts followed in the flood’s wake.

That said, I still have a hard time imagining cities abandoning their rivers. Human beings, we clever animals, build our habitats in all kinds of risky places. Is it foolish to build in a floodplain? Sure, but it’s human nature to take risks and seize resources. The forces of nature, be they wind, water or climate, are going to do what they do—we have to work with the economic and ecological hand we’re dealt.

No Valley resident should want to see salmon go extinct, to see the food chain further unravel. But a blanket elimination of flood insurance isn’t the answer. Let’s try sharper approaches to development and habi-tat and flood management—I’ve no doubt that’s a bet-ter solution than abandoning our river towns.

The fate of the national flood insurance program will ultimately be determined by a federal judge, or possibly a succession of judges. What you and I can do, on an individual level, is recognize our own risks, then find ways to reduce them, as well as our own impacts on the watershed.

Here’s your homework on freshman campus vote

I have given a lot of thought to the most recent 3-2 vote by the Snoqualmie Valley School Board regarding the annexation of Snoqualmie Middle School as a freshman cam-pus by 2013.

I have received numer-ous e-mails and calls from

many parents, seeing they know of my interest in this topic and know I attend most meetings. Here is my stock answer: You cannot complain about a deci-sion if you do not become involved.

I also offer everyone a homework assignment. Here it is:

Step one: Research who made the decision to pro-ceed with the plan to annex Snoqualmie Middle School without a replacement school.

Step two: Find evidence that suggests the plan to proceed without a replace-ment school was thor-oughly researched by any committee — or by any committee that was also comprised of Snoqualmie Valley School District mid-dle school educators.

Step three: Go back and read why the public voted for a third middle school (now known as Twin Falls) and review the district’s rationale behind why we needed that third school.

Step four: Review the last two bond votes and either agree or disagree with this statement: “The bond votes did support (by a majority of over 50 per-cent) the public’s approval of the “Annexation of SMS with a replacement school. The bond language spe-cifically addressed public

approval for the funding of a replacement school and the bond did not address public approval of the freshman learning center.”

Once you have complet-ed this assignment, please advise me if you honestly believe this decision to proceed with the Freshman Learning Center without a confirmed replacement school is the best solution for the education of all the kids.

Blessings of marriage are given freely to all couples

I wish to congratulate our state legislature and our governor for enacting mar-riage equality legislation. Further, I wish Jodi and Maddy, whom you profiled in a recent edition, every bit as much happiness in their marriage as my wife and I enjoy in ours.

I agree with our repre-sentative, Glenn Anderson, that a marriage contract is a matter for the state and that religious bodies can offer their blessing on those legally married couples who request such a blessing.

There are three steps required for a marriage to

exist in the sight of the law, I believe, application, solem-nization and registration.

A couple intending to marry applies to the state for a marriage license (application).

The marriage is solem-nized by an agent—civil or religious—in behalf of the state (solemnization).

The agent who solem-nizes the marriage must

return the signed license to the state within a set period of time or face a fine. The marriage is legal-ly transacted once it is registered in state records (registration).

Though I have been retired for nearly 20 years, I have happy memories of solemnizing the marriages of couples who presented themselves to me through 30 years of ordained minis-try. In every case, I sought to meet the requirements of the state while offering the services of the church through which God’s blessing was bestowed.

When I attended the marriage of a same-gender couple in Iowa a couple of years ago, and saw how effectively this couple was nurtur-ing their three adopted children, I became firm-ly convinced that God’s blessings are given freely

to all committed, loving couples who desire them.

We should all donate to help the needy

Dear Editor,I would like you to remind

your readers to donate food or medicine, because hun-dreds of people and kids die each week, because of sick-ness and hunger. We should donate everywhere.

You should donate a can every day or every week. Everything counts to the poor.

I care because my family gives money to an African family, and I am tired of people dying. I’m 10. I have six brothers and one sister.

Chamber upgrades web siteThe Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce’s has

launched a new, improved and vastly upgraded website.At the new site, www.snovalley.org, members will be

able to log in and improve their individual business list-ing and profile.

Using words, pictures and stories, members will be able to better drive Internet traffic to their own websites through their association with the Chamber.

“The site is designed to serve several constituencies at once: SVCC member businesses and individuals; the com-munity at large; and visitors to our beautiful region,” said Chamber CEO Kevin Dwyer.

With a few clicks of the keyboard, members can alert Internet search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, about a new business product, service or special feature, and ulti-mately attract new customers, and retain existing ones.

The Chamber website’s new e-commerce feature will allow members to register for SVCC luncheon programs, After Hours, educational classes, and special events online. Moreover, it will allow members to renew their member-ship dues online and make it easy for new and perspective members to join.

“Our ultimate goal is to make our site a community resource for all things related to business, the economy and tourism,” Dwyer added.

Brian Duvall earns board certification

Dr. Brian Duvall of Snoqualmie Valley Eyecare recently received Board Certification status by the American Board of Certification in Medical Optometry (ABCMO).

The ABCMO is an independent, non-profit organization that recognizes and certifies U.S.-licensed optometrists who have chosen to specialize in medical optometry after receiving their profes-sional degrees and state licenses.

Board certification denotes advanced competence in a specialty within a pro-fessional licensure and doctors achieve it by completing additional, accredited, post-graduate clinical residency train-ing, passing a written examination in the advanced competence of that specialty, and documenting significant specialty clinical practice.

Medical optometry encompasses the medical diagnosis, management and treat-ment of primary and secondary diseases and disorders of the human eye, its sur-rounding tissues, and visual tracts.

SPRING SPECIALS

Hearts in the gameMaura Murphy is sitting out the first few games of the Mount Si softball season with palpable impatience.Sidelined by concussion, the would-be starting shortstop and one of the true die-hards of the Lady Wildcats can’t wait to hit the diamond.“It’s killing me not to be able to get started with these girls, since I love it so much,” Murphy says.The senior is co-captain with junior outfielder Lauren Smith on a reloaded Wildcat team that looks to be strong, amid a very tough KingCo league in 2012.“Our goal is to compete at state,” said Smith. “But we want to get this group going for the future and work together as a team.”Mount Si brings back sophomores Celine Fowler, Rachael Picchena and Britney Stevens, and has some promising freshmen. Plus, head coach Larry White is excited about Bonney Lake transfer Michaela Blad, a BYU-signed catcher who’s only a junior.It’s a young team, but older teammates like Murphy are ready to pass on what they know.“I play because I love it,” the senior said. “It’s a completely mental game. The secret is knowing the opposing team—the speed of

their runners, their abilities—so that you’re prepared for whatever they’re going to it, before they actually do it.”Smith’s position is all about vision and communication: “You have your whole eyes on the field.” Softball has been her life since age 8. “I can’t imagine anything without it,” she says.

High SChool spring Sports previewLightning strikesLast May, Mount Si baseball reached the highest pinnacle a high school team can attain: A state championship. Now, the nationally ranked ball team will see whether lightning can strike twice.Head coach Elliott Cribby has six state-experienced seniors and a crop of younger players in what is expected to be a more fluid team in 2012.Outstanding outfielder Daniel Besmer, big hitter Justin Henak, pitchers Reece Karalus and Trevor Taylor, plus Trevor Lane and Ryan Atkinson are back. “Our defense and our pitching will be there,” said Atkinson, who will fill big shoes at shortstop. “That’s our priority... Replacing a lot of stolen bases, home runs, just runs period, that’s gonna be tough. But everyone wants to work hard, everyone wants to play. That’s going to make the competition to get in the line-up, just hot.”Unlike 2011, expect the line-up to shake up as players step up.“There’s going to be a lot of sharing,” Cribby said.

Snoqualmie Valley

Tightly knit teamTeam bonding was underway amid Mount Si tennis practice last week, with varsity players excitedly planning social activities.Mount Si returned with a number of new, young faces. Expected to lead that group are returners Trina Eck and Kelcy Sharp, who will hold down some of the top brackets with Cheyenne Dixon.“Even though we only have three returners, all the players coming up from JV have improved tremendously,” said Eck, who overcame a chal-lenging 2011 season to be here today.“Even though I was playing really hard girls, it prepared me for this year,” she said.“I am an extremely competitive person,” says Sharp, who was taught tennis by her grand-mother a few years ago. She loves tennis for its exercise and the team atmosphere.“The girls… support everyone,” she said. “We have fun doing it.”

mount Si High SChool SportsOn their marksDistance runner Ryan Olson and sprinter/jumper Sophie Rockow took a quick break from practice on the Mount Si track to share their expectations for the dawning spring season. Both seniors say the squads forming around them are among the best prepared, physically, that they’ve seen in their years in Wildcat track and field.“Coaches tell us this is the best conditioned team they’ve had to start with,” said Rockow, an expected leader in the 200- meter race, the triple jump, and in the relay, where she sees strong potential for younger athletes.“We should possibly make it to state in all three (relays),” she said.Distance runners have been preparing for this season throughout the offseason.“In league, we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with,” Olson said. “Our expectations are high. For the guys in long distance, we’ve worked together, done cross-country togeth-er for the majority of the years I’ve been here.” He gives credit to distance coach Sean Sundwall, of Run Snoqualmie fame, as a help to progression.

Moving on upNate Popp and Davis Karaica are among a four-year-varsity group of senior returners making up the hard core of the Mount Si soccer team. Both boys have already signed to play college ball—Popp at Western Washington University, Karaica at Seattle Pacific—so they will be expected to help lead what looks to be a deep squad.“There were five of us who made it as freshmen, that went from being low to being leaders of the team,” Karaica said.“I hope we see a lot of step-up from last year,” adds Popp. “A lot of our core players, like Alex (Anderson) and Dane (Aldrich) are going to contribute, a lot. Hopefully it takes us farther than the playoffs.”To the handful of freshmen following in their footsteps, Karaica advises, “lots of hard work, and stay focused. It’ll come.”Nate PoPP, Davis Karaica

Full focusThere’s hardly a better sight for Danielle Burns than a well-driven golf ball in flight.“It gives me joy,” said Burns, a Mount Si junior and the leader for the Wildcat girls team this spring.Burns, who has her sights firmly set on a college career in golf, has spent five days a week in the off season honing her game. She went to state in 2011, picking up 77th place. Today, she’s planning to return to the championship and improve that score, working with an Eastside specialist trainer on fundamentals.“For me, it’s all feel, and a lot of practice, every day,” Burns says.She’s golfed competitively for three years, but was introduced young to the game by grandparents—”My family is a family of golfers,” Burns said.“Being a leader means that I’m here for the girls, if they need questions answered. I’m here mentally to keep their spirits up, and make sure they play to the best of their ability, just like they can do for me.”

A very good yearNow that the question of where to play is resolved, Taylor Fields, captain of the Red Wolves boys golf team, is looking forward to a good year of strong play. “This year, we have a very solid team,” the senior said, calling out several promising freshmen, such as Ryan Johnson. “He could be our number-one golfer this year,” Fields said. The rest of the team has worked very hard in the off-season to improve on what Fields felt were inconsistent performances last year. In particular, Fields said junior Taylor Templin could have a great season. “He just keeps improving. He’ll be right up there in the top four,” Fields said. The Cedarcrest team’s home golf course in Carnation closed last year, leaving the team searching for a new home (Snohomish Golf Course), as well as practice areas. They practice at two Fall City courses, but practice space is limited to 12 players. Like the 35-mph winds and downpours they have been practic-ing in, cuts are just another obstacle the team will play through. “It was rough, but we play,” Fields said. “I know a couple of us are looking forward to doing a little better than we did last year at districts, maybe move on to state. We’ll see.”

Cedarcrest High SChool SportsAll up to me, and usThe dichotomy of track and field—a team endeavor that depends on the willpower of the individual—is clear to the Red Wolf track team’s senior leaders.Teamwork makes track a lot of fun, says Austin Koons, Cedarcrest’s main 400-meter runner (and ASB president) who went to state on the 4x400 relay team as a 10th grader. “It’s a very social sport,” Koons said. “Even though, at the same time, it’s individual. You have to be able to push yourself.”“It’s a personal sport,” said throwing leader Melissa Collingwood. “You’re trying to improve, get better.”Collingwood has been a competitive thrower for six years, and throws shot, discus and javelin. Fellow senior Hanna Gibson, with two years experience, is solely a jav launcher.Gibson loves to throw, saying the sport gets her off the couch and active.Technique has a lot to do with success—both girls agreed that the secret is in the legs, rather than the arms.

playing for a reasonSophomore Darian Pendergraft expects good things ahead for the Cedarcrest boys soccer team. A club player since 6th grade, he’s also expected to bring big things as a center midfielder. Pendergraft plays on the nationally competitive Eastside FC B94 team, and loves the sport, his chief focus.“It helps me relax, keeps me out of trouble,” he said. This spring, he hopes to “get to know my team-mates better and get to state.“We all love the game,” Pendergraft added. “We play not just to win, but to have a good time.”darian penderGraft

health nod for local planner

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recognized Snoqualmie Associate Planner Nicole Sanders for outstanding work and support in creating a healthier King County.

During the past two years, Sanders led local efforts to improve the community’s health through the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) initiative. CPPW joins together local community orga-nizations, cities, school districts, and public health agencies to pre-vent chronic disease and promote health through policy and environment changes.

“Our neighborhoods have changed drastically over the past decades,” commented Sanders. “We have fewer kids walking to school, more kids eat-ing fast food. We want to make sure people have sidewalks where needed to make walking a part of their routine.”

Snoqualmie actress Denise Paulette’s signature portrayal heads to Scotland


People she doesn't even know are helping to fund Denise Paulette’s dream. It's part of the magic of Zelda, if you ask her.

“A lot of the people have seen the show,” said the Snoqualmie actress, in explanation of why they’re helping her fulfill her goal, to per-form her one-woman show 'Zelda' at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland.

“It's just a fascinating story that's not very well known,” she said.

Zelda is the story of Zelda Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and accomplished artist. Like most of her audience members, Paulette was unfamiliar with Zelda's illness and struggles.

“I didn't know her,” she said, until she read William Luce's script. “That's what blew me away," she said.

In and out of sanitariums for 17 years, Zelda Fitzgerald was diagnosed as schizophrenic, and later as having bipolar disorder.

“The strength in who she was in dealing with that, regardless of fame, and the fact that she was still dealing with the normal things of life, a difficult marriage, and getting older,” Paulette said, were the aspects of the character Zelda that appealed to her.

Also, she said, “the playwright uses her ill-ness to allow the actress to go back and forth in and out of memory… sometimes I'm 5 years old, sometimes I'm 18.”

After three years of playing Zelda throughout

the Valley and the greater Puget Sound area, Paulette still adores the role, and laughs when people call her by her character’s name.

“Some people do call me Zelda,” she said. “It's cute, and it's not a problem.”

Her affection for her character is one of the reasons she’s hoping to bring Zelda to Scotland in August.

"I wanted to bring Zelda to an international stage, because she's not as well-known as F. Scott,” she said.

Edinburgh’s Fringe was a logical choice. “The thing about the Scotland fringe is that's where it all started,” Paulette said. Edinburgh’s festival, opened in 1947, was intended “to give performers of all walks of life a chance to perform.”

Paulette has raised more than $3,400 of her goal of $8,000 for the trip in August, but she has two critical deadlines coming up. She has reserved a theater space for a six-day run of her show, with down payment, and has until the end of May to pay in full. She also must register for the festival by the end of April.

Her fund-raising efforts include an e-mail and regular mail campaign, along with a website (www.indiegogo.com/Zelda-by-William-Luce) taking donations until March 20, and word of mouth. She will also discuss her project on 1150 AM KKNW's “Walk the Talk with Kim” Wednesday, March 14 at 3 p.m.

She's not sure if she'll make her goal in time, but adds that the fund-raising is not just about trying to reach a specific donation amount.

“I'd like to be able to reach as many people as possible,” she said.

• To donate by mail, send to P.O. Box 1853, Snoqualmie.

Valley Idol Junior finalists to show their talentThe eighth annual Sno Valley Idol Junior Finals is 6 p.m. Friday, March 30, at Mount Si

High School Auditorium.Fourteen finalists—Mikaela Ballard, Brianna Bilotta, Annie Bruckner, Chayla Brewster,

Allyson Conlon, Jessica Cowley, Hillary Curd, Mckenna Esteb, Catherine Haney, Baylee McCloskey, Coraly Miller, Kerstin Nillson, Tori Rose, and Taryn Scoones—are on the roster and will perform a variety of music styles.

The Sno-Valley Idol Junior contest is open to all Snoqualmie Valley youth ages 5 through 14, and has gained momentum each and every year. The auditions were held February 11 at Boxley’s Place in North Bend. The judges had the very difficult task of selecting just 14 finalists from the 30 registered participants. The panel of music industry experts, Annmarie Farris, Susanna Fuller and Danny Kolke, scored contestants on natural ability, quality of performance, showmanship and audience appeal, offering valuable advice and encourage-ment to each participant.

The overall winner will be selected by audience vote. Admission is $2.
