Police change back on table for

North Bend?

North Bend residents will be asked in April for their opinions on a poten-tial change in police ser-vices for the city.

The city currently has a contract with the King County Sheriff ’s Office for police services, as well as the sheriff ’s substation located on Boalch Avenue, but for financial reasons, is con-sidering a proposal to share police services with the city of Snoqualmie. Shared ser-vices could save $280,000 to $400,000 for each year of the five-year contract. City Administrator Duncan Wilson said the potential savings are the main rea-son the city is considering the change.

“We haven’t had a prob-lem with police services,” he said.

At a March 13 work-shop, the council discussed the change and decided to call for public input on the question. The public com-ment session is tentatively set for Tuesday, April 17, during the council’s regular meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at the Mount Si Senior Center.

The council must also decide whether to give the county the full 18 months advance notice of a cancela-tion. If they do, the soonest citizens would see a change is January of 2014.

School coalition builds love of music, gains national attention during challenging era

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

Brass notes blast out the just-opened door at Boxley’s Place on a snowy Friday. Snow has cancelled school for the day, but it hasn’t stopped the music for some 30 stu-dent musicians, who are all assembled for one reason.

The reason is Wycliffe Gordon, a famed trombonist, composer, and educator, who is visiting the Valley specifi-cally to instruct Mount Si High School Jazz I students in the art of “the greasy blues.”

Gordon is one of three judges of the Swing Central Festival in Savannah, Georgia, which Mount Si was select-ed to compete in this year.

HOW A BELOVED SEATTLE MARKET HELPS TO FEED THE NEEDS OF

AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY.

To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

When the owners of Uwajimaya Market wanted to relocate and enlarge an existing store in downtown Seattle, they turned to Bank of America. Since the 1950s, they’ve relied on us for � nancing to expand their operations, open new locations and grow their business. As a result, they’ve been able to better serve their customers, provide more jobs and strengthen their role as a focal point for the region’s diverse Asian community.

Uwajimaya Market is another example of how we’re working to help small businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Education is passion for award-winning teachers

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

Creativity, dedication, intelli-gence, discipline, and love. Each of these qualities is embodied in the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation’s 2012 selections for Educators of the Year, to be honored Thursday, March 22, at the foundation’s annual luncheon.

Tina Longwell, the secretary/registrar at Opstad Elementary School feels lucky to come to school, where she says the children teach her something new every day. For the 2012 Classified Employee of the Year, the best part of her job is every-thing, even the challenge of not laughing at some of the things her 540 kids say.

Elizabeth Cronin, Elementary Educator of the Year, makes sure to con-nect with her fourth graders at Cascade View Elementary School every day, with a hug, a secret handshake, or just a high-five. She especially loves teaching math, because she can see her students learning. “It’s one of the best things about teaching,” she said. Another is when students are so excited about a subject, they research it on their own, and then tell her all about it the next morning.

Dave Bettine watches over his eighth grade students as they explore and test boundar-ies at Twin Falls Middle School. His job, he says, is not only to teach them math and all its practical applications, but also to provide a safety net for each of them in their last year of middle school. He’s also going to help them launch a weath-er balloon into space, just for fun. He is the Middle School Educator of the Year.

For High School Educator of the Year Jenny Foster, her Spanish classes are as much about teaching language and culture as they are about build-ing relationships. In her junior year of high school, spent as an exchange student at a Columbian all-girls Catholic school, Foster found a caring, loving culture, and a greater understanding of her role as a citizen of the world. Her mis-sion in teaching, she says, is to impart this to her students.

Perfect textbookIn 22 years of teaching and

continuous learning, Spanish teacher Foster has yet to find “the perfect textbook.”

So now, with children in

tenth, seventh and fourth grades respectively and a husband who also has a demanding educa-tion job, she has started to think about the “someday” when she might be able to write it herself.

It would have a technology piece, to engage students, she said, with history and pop cul-ture references for “the authen-tic cultural piece,” and it will somehow fully immerse stu-dents in the language, written and spoken.

She jokes that the book will be “a compilation of 22 years,” but it’s more likely to be a rec-reation of Foster’s junior year of high school, the year she spent as an exchange student in Columbia.

“That was one of the best years of my entire life, because it really solidified what I wanted to teach,” Foster said.

Foster grew up on a farm in Corvallis, Ore., and knew since the fourth grade that she was going to be a teacher, “I just didn’t know of what,” she said

She remembers often recruit-ing her three younger siblings as students. “I always had them at the kitchen table , and I made up these worksheets for them, and I’d say ‘ok,you’re not getting up from the table until you fin-ish these.’”

Winning a Rotary scholar-ship for a year in Columbia gave her the direction she needed, she said. Initially, she thought she’d request a Scandinavian country to spend her year abroad, but then she went to a Rotary conference to meet people from the other host countries.

“I met the Columbians, the Brasileños – (Brazilians), the Chileans, and I fell in love com-pletely with the Latino culture and these people,” she said. “They were warm and friendly … and I thought, if that was what my year would be like with these kinds of people, I would be really happy. So Columbia was my first choice.”

As a junior, she was enrolled in an all-girls Catholic school in Columbia. She’d taken two years of high school French, but knew no Spanish when she arrived, so she spent the first half of the year learning Spanish and grammar with a second-grade class. By her sec-ond semester, however, she was taking trigonometry, chemis-try and philosophy, entirely in Spanish.

“I knew by the third or fourth month, that I was going to be OK, because I woke up in November, thinking, ‘oh, my gosh, I dreamt in Spanish!’” she recalled.

Her own immersion in the language was an invaluable experience, and one she tries to recreate for her second- and third-year students at Mount Si High School, at least during her class time.

“They sign a pledge of honor that they won’t speak English,” she said, and they pretty much hold to it, except for one day a week ago, when a girl simply had to tell Foster in English, how cute her shoes were – she didn’t know the correct expres-sion in Spanish.

She’ll know how to say it by now, though, because Foster places a special emphasis on the spoken word in her classes.

“I’m all about the oral piece,” Foster said. “It’s great to know how to read and write… but if you can’t articulate your ideas orally, why learn a language?”

Her fluency in speaking Spanish, though, is only a small part of what Foster learned in Columbia. She also absorbed the culture, saying “I haven’t found a more generous loving warm people in a culture,” and she saw how important rela-tionships were, in everything people did.

That lesson, in particular, is reflected in her teaching now.

“These kids, 90 percent of what I teach, they aren’t going to remember, but they will always remember how I treated them, and what our relationship was,” she said. As an example, she points out two of her students in the lunchroom. “Those girls over there, they know I would do anything for them.”

Foster returned to Oregon from Columbia with greater confidence, “more of a vision of what it meant to be a world citizen,” and the momentum to reach her goal.

“I finished college in three and a half years, because I want-ed to be in the classroom,” she said, adding “Trying to impart that, ‘what does it mean to be a world citizen’ to these kids, I think that was a huge part of my mission to be a teacher.”

Looking up at snow-dusted Mount Si this week, I wonder how Renato Cocchella and Valeria Gamonal are doing in the bright South American sunshine.

Earlier this month, the two Peruvian exchange stu-dents arrived back in their hometown of Chaclacayo after a February visit to learn Snoqualmie Valley ways.

So, as the snow falls in the Valley, these teens are transitioning to late summer in the southern hemisphere. It’s 80 degrees this week in Chaclacayo. Sounds pretty rough.

Trekking between continents requires a major adjustment to cli-mate, daily life, school work and sur-roundings. Host parent Barbara Scott, who took in Valeria during the winter visit, describes her guest as a “very adaptable kid.”

The teen was brave enough to explore—she tried every new food the Scotts served her—but also marched to her own rhythm. For example, while exploring rainy Seattle, she insisted on carrying an umbrella. Bumbershoots are uncommon apparel around here, so the Scotts had to track one down.

Handed a Mount Si sweatshirt on her second day in the Valley, Valeria didn’t know what to make of the animal on the front. That was when she learned about high school mascots.

Scott told me she highly recommends the experi-ence. Through everyday interactions, from eating din-ner to nights out at the theater, the Scott family learned from Valeria and the exchange student learned from them. Hosts and visitor alike grew during the visit, which opened the family’s eyes to a new world.

Adventures and growth like this wouldn’t hap-pen without the city of Snoqualmie’s brave steps to forge bonds with cities in other far-off nations. To date, Snoqualmie is the only Valley community with a sister city (Gangjin, Korea) and a Friendship City (Chaclacayo).

We all know local cities have far more serious concerns—budget cuts, infrastructure needs, school impact fees—but there’s more to life than pipes, pay-checks and taxes. Culture adds meaning to civic life, too. Right now, Snoqualmie has a big lead; I’d like to see North Bend, Carnation and Fall City forge some international links next.

Tina McCollum, secretary to the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association, was overwhelmed by the initial response of local families wanting to host the Peruvians. That shows there’s genuine interest in the Valley for these experiences. And there’s more to come. In the off-ing for 2012 is an opportunity for Mount Si students to visit Peru, staying with Chaclacayo families and touring destinations like the regional capital, Cusco, the once-lost city of Machu Picchu, and the local jungles. The latest Korean trip shortly follows, and in the meantime, the Snoqualmie committee continues to build its roster of local host families.

These new relationships aren’t just limited to youth. High school students, and through them, their fami-lies, and the Valley’s organizations and businesses, can benefit. The Valley is made stronger and wiser through these intercontinental connections.

• If your family would like to host a visitor, send a letter of interest to the Sister Cities Committee on why you’d like to take part. Include whether you have any children attending school at Mount Si, any foreign languages spoken in your home, and what country most interests you, Peru or Korea. You can get started by visiting snoqualmiesistercities.org.

possible two new hotels slated for North Bend.

One of the hotels that might be built would be a Holiday Inn Express. That’s fine, but if the hotel look-and-feel mir-rors that of all the other Holiday Inn Express properties that are out there, this one will stick out like a sore thumb. Our views in North Bend are too majestic to have a bright green logo shining bright over the 1-90 at exit 31.

I hope we residents have plenty of opportunities to offer our input regarding these two properties so we can be sure they “fit” here in the Valley cor-rectly. Anything short of that should be adamantly denied by the city coun-cil.

What does the Bible teach?

In response to what the Rev. Dr. James T. Elliott

commented in last week’s letter, I have never writ-ten to the paper in a response to an article or story, but I felt the need to write when it comes to the truth.

It is obvious Mr. Elliott is a man of religion by his title, not to be confused with a man of God.

He states that he believes God will bless a same-gender marriage, but this directly contra-dicts with what the Bible teaches and therefore is incorrect.

This reminds me of what the Bible says about false teachers in the last days who will tell the people what they want to hear to sat-isfy their itching ears instead of the truth.

What I have said may not be popular, but it is the truth.

I’m glad to hear Mayor Ken Hearing say, “It will be done right or it won’t be done at all,” regarding the

Quick-reacting staff saved residents from smoke inhalation when a dryer caught fire recently at Mount Si Transitional Health Center in North Bend.

The dryer fire started around 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, in the laundry room. A single sprinkler head went off, the water containing the fire until firefighters arrived.

The alarm also went off, and staff evacu-ated the residents to a safe area in another part of the building. The fire department arrived and finished extinguishing the fire and ventilated smoke from the building.

The fire safety system worked as designed, containing the fire to the room of origin. There was minimal damage to the dryers and laundry area.

According to the state fire marshal’s office, knowing what to do in a fire emergency is important. Staff at the transitional center were prepared because they participated in regu-larly scheduled fire drills. They knew that they needed to protect residents from deadly smoke and gasses produced during a fire.

“Knowing what to do in a fire emergency is key to keeping everyone safe,” State Fire Marshal Chuck Duffy stated. “Fortunately, the activation of the fire sprinkler and alarm systems notified emergency responders without delay. The quick action of Mount Si staff protected the residents from harm.”

Valley cities join in wildlife vs. FEMA case to freeze

flood coverageBy Seth truScott

Editor

Without flood insurance, how would cities along the Snoqualmie River grow and change?

That’s the question behind Snoqualmie and North Bend’s involvement in a federal case between the National Wildlife Federation and FEMA,

the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Last month, the two Upper Valley cities became interven-ing parties with 14 other Puget Sound municipalities in an ongoing legal dispute between the Wildlife Federation, a private nonprofit, and FEMA, over the federal agency’s National Flood Insurance Program, which pro-vides policies for property own-ers in floodplains.

Filing in the Seattle-

based U.S. District Court for Washington’s Western District, the federation seeks to stop FEMA from issuing any new flood policies, arguing that development in watersheds harms wildlife and violates the Endangered Species Act.

Local city officials are fight-ing the injunction, arguing it cuts off economic lifeblood for river cities.

“Basically, it would be dev-astating,” said Snoqualmie City Attorney Pat Anderson. Without collateral, he says homeowners couldn’t sell, purchasers couldn’t buy and

developers couldn’t build. “This community operates

on the availability of flood insurance,” Anderson said. “We have a big stake in see-ing that FEMA’s ability to issue policies isn’t taken away.”

Snoqualmie and North Bend join 14 other cit-ies, including Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Auburn, and Sultan, in hiring Issaquah attorney Bob Sterbank to rep-resent their interests. Sterbank will call on experts to testify in the case. Oral arguments begin in late March.

Policy mismatch?In recent years, the National

Wildlife Federation has sued in Washington, Oregon and Florida, pushing for reforms in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program. The fed-eration says global warming is increasing the intensity of storms and floods, threatening America’s coasts and flood-plains.

“Even as our coasts and floodplains become riskier environments, FEMA is subsi-dizing and otherwise encour-aging high-risk and damaging development on these vulnera-ble areas,” NWF’s website states. “There is no starker example of a mismatch between well-documented risks… and pub-lic policy.”

However, Anderson criti-cizes Wildlife’s stance, calling it a blanket approach.

“It portrayed all the flood-plains as though they were pristine wilderness,” Anderson said. “It absolutely disregards the fact that floodplains are already covered by urbanized development.”

CONGRATULATIONSto our reader survey winners !

Only the top 12 bands who audition for the festival are chosen, and Mount Si, in its first year to audition, was among them. As part of their participation, the band received the in-person rehearsal ses-sion with Gordon, who composed the piece “Grease Bucket,” which they will play at the festival.

“You guys sound nice,” Gordon says after a final run-through, but the seasoned jazz man also had lots of advice for the students. “Don’t play anything definite… everybody has to be responsible for listen-ing.” He also reminded them of the song’s name, for a reason.

“You know what a grease bucket is, right? It’s the bucket that sits on the top of the stove in most homes… I wrote this song, I just called it ‘Grease Bucket,’ so it’s the greasy blues.”

During the break, Gordon strolls along the stage, singing to him-self, clearly enjoying his teaching role. The 19 Jazz I students, and the small group of middle school musicians who came to watch, though, are all intensity.

“It’s a really great opportunity. I haven’t had an experience like this before,” said Kyle Seymour, a senior.

Freshman J.T. Hartman concurred. “You get the guy who actually composed the song, telling you how he wants you to play it.”

It’s a major accomplishment for still-small Mount Si High School, and one that the students seem to be handling with complete composure. There are no awestruck faces, no autograph requests of Gordon, not even much chatter during the break. These kids are getting used to success, and the perks that follow it.

Adam Rupert, instrumental music director at Mount Si, said the students will also be featured in the KPLU “School of Jazz” CD, which highlights local outstanding jazz bands at the high school level. This selection also came with a professional musician’s consul-tation, and his performing with them on the track they recorded for the CD. The band also frequently receives top ratings at area music festivals.

All of this recognition is nice, Rupert says, as is the school’s growing reputation for excellence in jazz, but it is all external to the program he’s worked in for 10 years.

“Our goal is really to play music, really hard music, the best we can,” he said. “There’s never a moment when the kids aren’t chal-lenged.”

Rupert directs about 120-130 students in one of his jazz or con-cert bands, which, he says, is close to his capacity in both physical space and teaching time. Vocal music students see Ryan Harris, who also doubles as the drama instructor.

One step down, to the middle school level, the number of stu-dents in music is more than doubled. At Twin Falls Middle School, which has the largest enrollment count of the district’s three middle schools, band director Matt Wenman sees 275 students a day in one of three choirs, three concert bands, and two jazz bands. Take one more step down, and every single student through the fourth grade, about 3,000 students, has class with the music teacher in each of

their buildings.Until three years ago, every fifth grade student at North Bend

Elementary School took first-year band for their music instruction. The other four elementary schools had all made band out an extra-curricular activity, but North Bend music teacher Dan Thompson kept it as part of the school day — with no cost for instruments, he noted—until the school district decided each elementary school should be consistent with their band programs.

Thompson, who has taught at NBE for 26 years, was disap-pointed with the change. It meant adding music classes for fifth graders to his schedule, and because of the extra demands on his time, handing direction of the band over to a musically trained parent volunteer.

“It was kind of hard, losing that, because I love teaching band,” he said.

However, he does still see a bright side to it.“For those students who do band before school, now there can

be even more music,” he said, since they also get music class with him during the day.

“The bottom line is we want to create a love and appreciation of music for all the kids,” he said. “If you get them now (in elementary school) you can have them for life.”

Wenman, Rupert, and some active music parents like Carol Reitz and Glynis Rogers, agree with half of that statement, but they are concerned about the number of students who leave the music pro-gram when it is no longer part of the regular school day.

“How do you know you don’t like playing an instrument unless you try it?” asked Reitz, who leads the Snoqualmie Valley School District Music Coalition with Rogers.

More students leave at the transitions to middle school, where they choose a band, choral or art/tech “track” that expands their options but excludes the other tracks, and still more at high school, where students again have many more options.

“There is attrition,” said Wenman, who’s taught at Twin Falls

for four years. “And the biggest attrition happens from the school jumps, when you jump from building to building, or from teacher to teacher.”

Rupert says in a typical transition year, less than 50 percent of middle school music students will pursue music, band or choral, at high school.

Both Wenman and Rupert feel that they are close to their maxi-mum capacity for students, and that they are far from alone.

“We’re exceeding capacity in many music courses across the district,” said Wenman, and the district is forecasting big jumps in enrollment in another three years.

One might think that they and other music teachers would be relieved by that high attrition rate. They aren’t.

“No, we don’t want attrition,” Wenman said. “Anything less than 85 percent retention—and we’ve never even had close to that, but anything less is something we’re always trying to improve.”

“Every student needs the opportunity to be taught music, and every student needs the equal opportunity to take music at any level,” Wenman added, going on to explain the unique offerings of a music program in schools. Music defines culture, and fosters team-work, accountability, discipline, attention to detail, and has been found to support learning in other academic areas.

From a purely pragmatic perspective, music classes are also important because they are so cost effective.

“It’s called reverse economics,” Reitz explains. “On paper, it looks like it’s going to save you money to cut the music program, but in reality, if you’ve got a good music program, that means you’re han-dling big numbers of kids.”

Referring back to the attrition rates Wenman noted that “It’s to the economic advantage of the district to have huge music programs by the time they get to middle school and high school.” If those stu-dents had left band in middle school, or their freshman year, they would be in other, smaller classes.

“It literally will cost the district more if they cut fifth grade band,” Wenman said.

Information like this is what Reitz’s music coalition has begun providing to the school district, through annual status reports on music in the district. She stresses that it strictly proactive.

“Nobody’s talking about cutting music right now,” she said. That makes the timing perfect for the coalition, which formed

last year after Reitz and several other music parents attended an advocacy workshop.

The coalition, Reitz feels, will be a place for parents and teachers to come together in a unified position, enabling them “to talk to the board and administrators, wherever they exist, about the impor-tance of having music as a curricular item, … music as an ongoing entity from K through 12,” she said. “The mission is equal access to music education.”

She hopes the coalition can partner with the district, without being adversarial, to foster and improve the music program in each school.

For details on the coalition’s activities, find them on Facebook.

Q&A with former Valley player, coaches hall of famer Phil Pugh

By Seth truScottEditor

High school football has changed a lot since Phil Pugh was quarterbacking for the Wildcats.

Pugh, 71, of the Mount Si Class of 1958, was inducted this winter into the Washington High School Football Coaches’ Hall of Fame for his nearly 30-year career helming the North Mason varsity program in Kitsap County.

At North Mason High School in Belfair, Pugh went 167-107 over 27 years, taking his team to state in his first two years.

Pugh grew up in Snoqualmie and Meadowbrook. His father died while he was young, and Pugh and his two siblings were raised by their mother, Shirley, who was an employee at the Snoqualmie State Bank (now home to the Chamber of Commerce).

“I credited her with teaching us discipline and responsi-bility,” he said. “She was a courageous woman.”

Part of a graduating class of 67 at Mount Si, Pugh was thrust into the limelight when Mount Si’s starting quarter-back broke his leg. Those were tough days for little Mount Si, which played local, big schools. Pugh went on to college, served a stint in the U.S. Army in Vietnam, and became a teacher, specializing in English. His coaching career started at the middle school level, and he began head coaching at North Mason in 1974.

2011 alum Cami Guyer soars at San JoseBy JameS GiBowSki

Contributing Writer

Cami Guyer, a 2011 Mount Si graduate and fresh-man at San Jose State University, tied for 10th in the balance beam (9.700) at a gymnastics tri-meet Friday, March 9, at the University of Washington. The host and No. 24 Huskies finished first (196.350), Central Michigan University second (195.300) followed by San Jose State (194.425).

The balance beam was Guyer’s only event that count-ed in team standings, but she also took part in exhibi-tion vault and uneven parallel bars. San Jose Coach Wayne Wright said Guyer “has fit in well” with the team and said she has the skills to be an all-around (all four events) gymnast for the Spartans in the future.

“I have to improve in consistency and keeping calm,” said Guyer, who mentioned that sometimes there is more pressure on her during the exhibition events than the beam because she is trying to impress the coaches for a starting spot in additional events.

Guyer and her Spartan teammates, 10-6, have a chance to come back to Seattle on Saturday, April 7, when the University of Washington hosts one of the regionals. Before that, San Jose will compete at the WAC Championships on Saturday, March 24.

Augie’s Quest, Zumba benefit is SaturdayA fundraiser to help Augie’s Quest for ALS, a national organization seeking a cure

for Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 24, at Snoqualmie Elementary School.

The event includes two hours of dancing led by local Zumba instructors, raffles and prizes. VIP tickets are $35, which includes an early Zumba technique class; Regular admission is $20, $15 for children.

To learn more, visit their Facebook page.

Opstad Science Fair is Thursday, March 22Opstad Elementary School in North Bend holds a big science fair, opening to the

public at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 22.Last year’s 2011 OES Science Fair featured 320 student participants with 290 projects,

plus community members giving various “hands-on” science demonstrations to the public. “Super Scientist” awards recognized the top 50 projects.

The number of students participating and community members attending has steadi-ly grown over the years to become one of the largest Snoqualmie Valley School District events. It solely focuses on academics and how it relates to real-life.

The OES Science Fair is sponsored by the Opstad PTA. Opstad Elementary School is located in North Bend just off Cedar Falls Way at 1345 Stilson Avenue. For directions and info, call (425) 831-8300 or visit www.OpstadElementary.org.

Youth benefit for World Vision comes to Cascade View ElementaryIf you can shoot a basketball, you can make a difference. Elementary- and middle-

school-aged children in the Upper Valley will learn that firsthand on Saturday, March 24, at a Hoops of Hope fundraiser from 10:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cascade View Elementary School.

“Whatever effort they make, they’re actually helping other kids,” said Michelle Privatsky, a member of the Eastside chapter of Women of Vision, hosting the event.

Hoops of Hope, she explained, is a way to get children involved in raising funds to sup-port the work of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization working worldwide to solve community problems in sustainable ways.

Participants raise pledges online for their efforts to shoot free throws for a couple of hours. No one is officially recording the shots made, though, Privatsky, said, because “It’s not about that competition. It’s about attempts. It’s about trying and just getting out there.”

This is the first local fundraiser hosted by the Eastside chapter of Women of Vision, but Privatsky said they hope to make it an annual event. Their goal for the day is to have 100 children participate, and to raise $15,000.

All proceeds from the event will go to World Vision projects.For more information, or to register, visit www.eastsidewov.blogspot.com.

Theatre Black Dog of Snoqualmie will perform Robert Bolt’s “A Man for All Seasons,” Friday and Saturday, March 23 and 24, 7:30 p.m. at The Black Dog cafe, 8062 Railroad Ave S.E.

The play, directed by Susan Bradford of Issaquah, is based on the true story of Sir Thomas More’s silent stand against King Henry VIII’s desire to divorce his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in order to marry Anne Boleyn, and the struggle for leadership of the Catholic church. More’s battle of silent disapproval ends in impris-onment, trial, betrayal and eventual

death. His struggle for his own sense of self and conscience was Bolt’s hope to serve as an inspiration for today’s audiences.

Tickets are available at www.brown-papertickets.com, $12 for students and seniors, $15 for general admission. Beverages and desserts are not includ-ed with the ticket price.

EFR reaches out to alumni

Former volunteer fire-fighters who served with King County Fire District 10, King County Fire District 38, King County Fire District 35, Issaquah, North Bend, and Carnation are invited to “re-connect” with the Eastside Fire and Rescue family. With the growth of the agency and the combination of fire departments that came by way of mergers, contracts, consolidations, and annexa-tions, leaders at EF&R sus-pect that some alumni have been left out of announce-ments related to special events, promotional cer-emonies, retirements, well-being of former workmates, deaths, and other matters that would be of interest to those that served previously. Send an email to [email protected] to learn more.

He retired from teaching and coaching in 1998, but returned three years later for another three-year stint at players’ requests.

The school stadium is named after Pugh, who now lives in Allen, Wash. He was inducted into the coaches’ hall of fame January 28 in Bellevue.

Today, Pugh has stepped off the grid-iron, but he keeps fond memories of his playing and coaching days, and also offers advice to the younger coaches lead-ing today’s youth athletes. He recently answered questions about his career and methods by the Record:

What was it like to be a Wildcat in ‘58?

“It was a great deal of fun. It was very different in those days, than high school football is today, from the equipment to the season of work that kids do now—much, much different. There really wasn’t much in the way of classifications. You played the teams in your proximity. That wasn’t good for us Mount Si kids—we had 66 kids in our graduating class. We were playing Issaquah, Lake Washington, Bothell, Bellevue. We had some real chal-lenging Friday nights.”

What was it like winning a state title in 1982?

“It was thrilling, without question. One of the reasons for our success was that early on, I learned something about image structuring: teaching people how to think in positive terms. An assistant coach really adopted it… the two of us were really able to do a good job on that. The kids on the state championship team were

not the most talented group we had, but they really bought into the idea of a team, positive approach. Early in the season, we struggled, managed to win close games. Then we got going. We got beat in our last regular-season game, yet it didn’t seem to affect these kids, because they realized that it was a temporary setback. Everybody’s going to have those. It was almost like those kids expected to go on and win. As coaches, we did, too. It was almost like, ‘Here we are, we did it.”

What advice do you have for new coaches?

“Meet with parents of players early, and communicate how important it is that they allow their kids to participate and play and enjoy it. As parents, as soon as they are comfortable with a coach and his or her ability to be fair and treat their kids with respect, that their child is going to be safe with this coach, they need to step back and release the kid to the coach, and let them coach. There are so many parents today that step over those lines and get involved with their kid’s playing time, their position. They really make it difficult for the kids to be solid members of the team.

“Another thing is to have a balance between the importance of winning, par-ticipation and sportsmanship. The JV kids, the backup kids, they’ve got to treat those kids as though they were just as important as the starters, the kids that are getting the headlines. That’s not easy. Don’t be afraid to give the younger kids an opportunity to play. Find a way to get them in the game, and make it meaningful playing time.”

After 115 years of worship, North Bend Community Church’s

legacy lives on

By Seth truScottEditor

Dave Olson proudly shows me around North Bend Community Church, the church he grew up in and worships at to this day. From the dining room, we proceed around to the sanc-tuary where, up above the nave, the little room sits where congregation mem-bers used to be baptized in a cold, hand-pumped metal tank.

The tank is still there, but today, church members are more likely to be baptized in the waters of Rattlesnake Lake on a summer day.

It’s true that some things have changed, but a lot has stayed the same at North Bend Community Church, which observes its 15th anniversary this year. This church has clung to its roots, and remains a gathering place for residents and good works, just as it was founded in 1897.

A true original

The Rev. D.G. Delano led North Bend Baptist Church (Now Community Church) between 1914 and 1915. Known as the “saddlebag missionary,” Delano stabled his horse in the backyard of the parsonage, on the site of today’s Mount Si Food Bank.see church, 15


Old directories list this church, founded in 1897 as North Bend Baptist Church, as the “Little White Church with the Big Heart.” It’s North Bend’s first and oldest surviving place of worship.

As the Valley was settled, pioneer preachers came and went, but by the 1890s, North Bend residents began to feel the need for place to worship.

According to church histo-ries, the future Community Church came about largely due to one man, Baptist preacher Rev. William Brown, who spent three weeks in the Valley in 1897. Brown held meetings and services in homes, and baptized 49 people in the South Fork of the Snoqualmie. Brown, a carpenter, led construction of the church on a lot donated by North Bend platter William Taylor, where today’s church still stands. The total cost was $1,200, construction took 200 days, and Brown did a lot of the work for free.

In the early years, the con-

gregation faced the east side of the building, today’s fellowship hall. In 1900, the usual atten-dance was about 12 people. On Christmas, though, the church brought in big crowds and many children from around the Valley. In a 1960s church histo-ry, Charles Scheuchzer recalled that “A big Christmas tree was brought into the church and it stood in the same corner where we put our tree today.” The place was lit by kerosene lamps; music was provided by a rented organ.

In 1927, the congrega-tion was renamed North Bend Community Church, to encourage more residents to attend. Over the next few

decades, a new wing and par-sonage was added.

According to Pastor Pete Battjes, pastors and congre-gation have stayed true to their founders vision, a firm emphasis on the tenants of the Christian Bible.

“Over the years, the leaders and people who have associ-ated with the church have not compromised the essential doctrines of the Bible,” Battjes told the Record. “We continue to declare that God’s Word was inspired by the Holy Spirit and is inerrant.”

“North Bend Community Church has an incredible heri-tage! It has not only proclaimed the Gospel, but has served the

community in many ways. Thousands of people have been touched by the ministry of the church over the years and have been changed by the impact it has had on their lives,” Battjes added.

The church offers basic courses on Christianity, mar-riage, and other topics. Every Wednesday, the Mount Si Food Bank operates out of one of the church buildings, spon-sored by the Valley Ministerial Association. The church also hosts the Hot Meals ministry every Wednesday morning. Various other churches help in taking a turn to provide a meal. Vacation Bible School is held in the summer, and the

James Troy HoffmanTroy Hoffman, 94, passed away peacefully

He was most proud of his daughters, Janet Smith of Issaquah, Linda Knudsen of Wenatchee, Joy Hoffman-Baunsgard (Roy) of North Bend and Julie Jenson (Scott) of Sagamore Hills, OH.

Troy was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 38 years, Dorris Hoffman (Stevens). He is survived by his four daughters, eight grand-children, five great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, friends and customers.

Antoinette (Toni, Annie) Robey Lehman

Antoinette (Toni, Annie) Robey Lehman passed from this life to the next on Sunday, March 11, 2012. Annie suffered from auto-immune disease, which caused End-Stage Liver Disease, a condition that kills over 35,000 people in the US every year.

Annie was born on June 27, 1962, and was 49 years old at the time of her passing. She leaves behind her grieving parents, Bob and Pat Robey of Issaquah, brother Bill (Karen) of Snoqualmie, sister Lisa Gonzalez of Santa Rosa, CA, sister Angelina Hargest of St. George, UT, son Jason Reece of New Port Richey, FL and grandson Rion, son Joe Reece of Aberdeen WA and grandson Tyson, son Jeff (Char) Stone and grandchildren Mikey, Hailey and Kayden.

Annie had a lifelong interest in learning, studying Computer Programming, Electrical Engineering, History, Mathematics, and Physics. She returned to school when her children were older, to demonstrate the importance of education. She was an aide in a nursing home, and later was a tutor in Science, Math and ESL.

Annie was also a gifted artist, selling her crafts online and at bazaars. She could create flowers out of soda cans and throw rugs out of plastic bags, to name a few skills.

Annie’s life philosophy is best summed up in her own words: “Artist, Scientist, Crafter & Poet … fighting to live while dancing with death.”

The family will hold an open house celebration of life on April 7, from noon to 4 pm. In lieu of flowers bring a written memory or

story about Annie to be included in a memoir for her family.598713
