School levies,

bond, set for 2014

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

Few of the numbers are final, but the dates for Snoqualmie Valley School District voters to decide on them are official. The full school board agreed Thursday, Oct. 10, to put two levy measures on the Feb. 11, 2014, ballot, and a capital facilities bond on the April 22, 2014, ballot.

The levies, both four-year renewals of the district’s existing maintenance-and-operations and technology levies, would autho-rize the district to levy an estimat-ed $18.2 million in 2015. While the technology levy remains fixed at $2.7 million annually, the other levy, renamed the educational programs and operations levy, will start at $15.5 million, and increase by $1 million each year.

Respect for the

postmanAmid days of change, Bjoern

Greutzmacher keeps the mail coming as Snoqualmie’s newest postmaster

By Seth truSCottEditor

The respect is what surprises Bjoern Gruetzmacher.

“As a supervisor, I could provide people with the same insight and information,” he said. “But a postmaster could say the same thing,” and people will more readily believe it.

The venerable title of a small-city post-master carries weight, and Gruetzmacher knows this firsthand. After months of temporary supervisor gigs, he has a home in Snoqualmie—his first postmaster’s job.

A Kent resident, Gruetzmacher was chosen to replace former postmaster Bud Quinoveva 10 months ago, but he didn’t officially begin duties until May and spent much of the past year helping manage other offices on the Eastside.

Night of the living teens

Snoqualmie Ridge’s ‘Dark Trail’ is back with youngsters aiming to chill your blood—for a good cause

By Seth truSCottEditor

“Kat, give him your howl!” says Mark Hennig.So 12-year-old Kat Kangas lets loose with a 15-second, war-

bling cry. A would-be teenage werewolf, Kat should be pretty effective at grabbing attention this weekend in the third annual ‘Night on a Dark Trail’ benefit thriller.

“Sometimes I go on Youtube and look up the sounds of wolves howling,” said Kat. She’s ready to scare somebody at the event.


Snoqualmie’s Night on a Dark Trail participants work on their werewolf moves.

Election 2013Snoqualmie Valley School District, seat 4

Marci Busby1. Number one is a new elementary: We are at capacity with full-time Kindergarten starting in 2016 or 2017 (doubling K classrooms). In listening to the community during union negotiations, I heard that class size in our grade schools was clearly a concern. If every class at Cascade View Elementary School is reduced

by four students, we will need six more classrooms over-night (the difference between absolute and programming capacity). Although it is complicated balancing building size, teacher hiring, scheduling and administrative over-head, this is an investment we need to make. We need to invest at Mount Si High School, but I do not want over-investment to limit our options at other schools. 2. When programming needed an overhaul and construction options were limited, annexation to create a STEM/freshman campus was introduced. Three years later: enrollment is greater than the verified capacity of MSHS; we’ve confirmed that a MSHS remodel cannot happen with four grades

on campus. Annexation and STEM were right on. So is focusing on freshmen in their own space. Multiple experts told the board that attention to freshmen helps establish a strong post-high-school path. We hired a stellar principal who championed the Freshman Campus to increase on-time graduation rates, improve rigor, and build relationships. My support is based on the affirmation of this plan, the input of educational experts and trust in our professionals.3. We have the best teachers. I am impressed with their amazing dedication. Union President Lisa Radmer, with the administration, has been tirelessly and successfully working to bring the new teacher evaluation system online. Together, they have created a system that implements the state mandate, meets the needs of SVSD students, and allows our teachers to use it to improve their craft rather than being boxed into a rigid checklist. We can learn from this success and use what we know has worked in this process in future contract talks, such as examining our timeline and beginning our talks earlier.4. There are three topics in this question, involvement, input, and transparency. We have a stellar community of volunteers, parents, and business supporters—their involvement leverages everything we do. We need a lot of public input both organized (committees) and unsolicited (e-mails and comments at meetings) to make a deci-sion. Where we can really improve is attracting a larger group of people to join the conversation. We do well on transparency, but can improve. I would like more documents to go online. For instance, the reports we are using to make our current bond decisions, at board direction, are not on our website.5. In school board meetings, when expressing your support of the freshman campus, you have said, “we have the time, and we have the space.” Please elaborate on that—when and where you see the district’s capacity? With the current configuration, we have space at MSHS into the next decade. This is not debated. The painful truth is that although a two-middle-school model might not be ideal to some, we are not at capacity. Common spaces are crowded, yes, but not over capacity. Configuration and budget are the debate. I hear members of our community talk about tax burden. I fear blowing our bond capacity on one school, currently below capacity. My preference is concentrating on distributing it amongst needs across the district and investing in buildings for our younger students in our population center.

Questions on educationSchool District candidates Marci Busby and David Spring sound off on campus change

Two candidates, incumbent Marci Busby and challenger David Spring, are vying for votes in the upcoming general election. The two were the top vote-getters in an August primary on the District 4 seat on the Snoqualmie Valley School Board, and are now in the final run for the four-year term which

starts Jan. 1, 2014. A third candidate, Tavish MacLean, is running unopposed in District 1.

Ballots for the Nov. 5 general election will be mailed out this week, and to help inform voters, the Record asked Busby and Spring to participate in a question and answer session, which fol-lows. Both were asked the same four questions, plus one specifi-cally about themselves.

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

Candidate Questions1. What do you hope to accomplish, if (re-)elected to the school board? What is your number-one priority? 2. The freshman campus has been a divisive issue in the community, and you are a vocal supporter/opponent of the separate campus. What is your sup-port/opposition based on? 3. Teacher contract negotiations were challenging this year, as many people stated during and after the contract talks. How would you change the process to make it go more smoothly, and what role would you, as a school board member, play in that? 4. Public commenters at board meetings have often called for more transpar-ency from the board, more opportunities for community involvement. How much public input should the board solicit or require before making decisions?

David Spring1. My top priority is to increase the graduation rate in our school district. Our graduation rate has fallen to below the state average (77 percent) – despite the fact that our poverty rate is much less than the state average. Our graduation rate is 14 percent below the graduation rate of similar East King County School Districts. The best way to raise the graduation rate is to hire more teachers and lower class sizes—especially in our elementary schools. This includes placing firm caps on class sizes in our elementary schools, middle schools and high schools.

2. There are 315 high schools in Washington state. We are the only one with an isolated ninth grade campus. An isolated ninth grade campus deprives many students of learning and engagement opportuni-ties available only at the main campus. It harms teachers by requiring one in three high school teachers

to give up their planning periods to commute back and forth between the main high school and the isolated ninth grade campus. It also harms hundreds of middle school students by forcing them to be bused to overcrowded middle schools that are very far from their homes. 3. I agree with the teachers that class sizes are too large and we need to have firm caps on class sizes. Our class sizes are among the highest in the nation. A June 2012 study by the Washington State Auditor concluded that our school district has a much higher “administra-tive overhead” than any comparable school district. Despite this fact, the current school board voted to increase the amount spent on administrators. I will reduce our bloated

central administration so we can hire more teachers and reduce class sizes. We should listen to our teachers more often. 4. The current board decision-making process is fundamentally flawed. Parents are given almost no notice of what decisions are being made at school board meetings. During these meetings, two hours are allowed to hear the positions of administrators and paid consultants. But then parents and teachers are only allowed two minutes to express an opposing point of view. This leads to bad decisions. There needs to be much more balance in order to hear the pros and cons of all options before making an important decision that affects the future of 6,000 students. 5. You have run for state office, District 5 State Representative, three times since 2007. Why are you now running for school board? And, will you consider running for state office again in 2014 or beyond? I am running for the school board in order to put more teachers in the classroom, and provide a better learning experience for all of our students. I ran for the state legislature for the same reason – to draw attention to the fact that our school district is one of the lowest funded, most overcrowded school districts in the nation. I would prefer not to run for the state legislature. So if anyone else would like to run for the legislature to improve school funding in our state, send me an e-mail. I will help promote your campaign.Editor’s note: West Valley High School in Yakima also has a freshman campus, which Mr. Spring states is not isolated from the main campus.

The bond amount is less definite, because the school board has not agreed on what capital facilities to fund. Although the full board decided in August to pursue a $200 million project com-bining the immediate con-struction of a sixth elemen-tary school with a multi-year, phased remodel of Mount Si High School, discussion at the Oct. 10 meeting ranged widely, from whether or not the board had ruled out a 2,400-capacity high school in favor of the 2,100-capacity plan in Option A, to where the greatest needs in the dis-trict are, to the idea of split-ting the bond into pieces, to questions about what the true goal of the bond was.

“We need a bond package

that will do our high school,” Board President Scott Hodgins argued. High school improve-ment was his top priority, not the least expensive route to updating facilities, he said, adding that if the district’s pri-ority was to keep costs down, their cheapest option would be to simply add a building to the high school campus.

“Which doesn’t solve our problem,” said Dan Popp. Although he supported the high school remodel, Popp was concerned about the preliminary enrollment fig-ured presented earlier in the meeting. The district’s new demographer, Les Kendrick of Education Data Solutions, projected high school enroll-ment in 2021, the same year the Option A remodel would be complete, to be between 2,007 to 2,255. This includes about 100 students at the Two Rivers alternative school.

“As a board, are we con-vinced that when that (high) school opens in 2021, we won’t be at capacity?” Popp asked. “Can we go to the community and say ‘we’re good for a while’?”

Lacking a clear answer to that question, the board discussed other possibilities, such as doing only the first phase of the remodel, sched-uled to be complete in 2018, at a 1,900-student capacity.

Frustrated, Geoff Doy reminded the board that they’d committed to Option A, yet continued to go back to the idea of doing only part of it. He pointed out that all of the numbers were prelimi-nary, and that in the multi-year remodel process, there would be an opportunity, if needed, to change the design, find more parking, and build it bigger.

To him, the question was

“are we going to go for a bond” to build a new elemen-tary school and improve the high school “because if we’re not, let’s all go home.”

Marci Busby asked what the cost of the Option A bond would be per thousand, say-ing “I think it’s important for the tax payers to know what we’re really asking.”

Staff did not have a number for her, since many of the costs are still undetermined.

Cost was an important issue, though, and Fall City parent Rebecca Mueller pre-sented her own rough cal-culation, based on the 2003 Twin Falls bond of $53 mil-lion. “This bond is four times as much,” she said, and com-bined with the renewed lev-ies, would result in more than $1,000 in extra property taxes, on average. Moving the fresh-men back to the main cam-pus, she said, and building

“a shiny new toy” of a high school was not worth it.

Freshmen could return to the main campus by the fall of 2018, according to the archi-tect projections, when phase 1 of the remodel is complete. Enrollment projections for 2018 range from 1,898 to 2,051 high school students.

“Let me tell you what I do support,” Mueller said. A sixth elementary school was her first priority, and a new middle school was second.

“We support a school if there’s a value for it,” she said, later adding “You’re not going to get public support for the high school.”

Following public com-ment, the board continued its discussion of possible bond items, including a review of the prioritized needs at other district buildings. The board will review an initial draft of their April bond proposal at the Oct. 24 meeting, 6:30 p.m. at Snoqualmie City Hall.

BOND FROM 1 Meeting looks at domestic violence North Bend residents are invited to discuss public safety and domestic violence at the October community safety meeting. Deputy Amy Jarboe of the King County Sheriff’s Office will be the presenter at the monthly meeting, set for 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17. Jarboe has investigated hun-dreds of domestic violence cases in her 15 years with the county’s domestic violence investigation unit. She is considered a regional expert, and will share her experi-ences in dealing with victims, suspects, and family members, and talk about the effects, both short- and long-term, of domestic violence. She will also offer information about how to recognize signs of domestic violence and provide participants with tools and options on how to deal with such situations.

The Snoqualmie Valley Record is the legal newspaper for the cities of Snoqualmie,

North Bend and Carnation.

Written permission from the publisher is required for reproduction of any part of this

publication. Letters, columns and guest columns do not necessarily reflect the views

of the Snoqualmie Record.

An interesting contrast. That might be the phrase I’d use to describe the two police situations in the Upper and Lower Valley

right now.At the same time as Snoqualmie is gearing up and

hiring up to become the contract police agency for the city of North Bend, Carnation and Duvall are parting ways after nine years. There’s a huge ques-tion mark right now over who will cover Carnation residents, and how the city will pay for it all after next year. Duvall scooted after questioning the stability of a Carnation-contracted force, so who’s next? What will they bring to the table?

There’s lessons here for Snoqualmie and North Bend. Residents need stable law enforcement, preferably with offi-cers in for the long haul to learn the nitty-gritty of a community. Both cities will need to pay atten-tion to costs and expectations over time to make sure that a similar situation doesn’t unfold here 10 years down the road.

I’m less concerned about disconnect. Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley lives in North Bend and has a pretty good idea about what police need to do there to deal with resident and mer-chant concerns over drugs and transients.

It’s the long-term changes that happen to com-munities that I wonder over, though. Snoqualmie and North Bend, traditionally rivals, are in the slow process of growing together, with shared schools, museums, open space and soon, a police department.

I’ve been going through the archives a lot lately for our upcoming centennial Then & Now edition, and I can’t help but notice how things have changed in the Lower Valley. Carnation went from having a town marshal to a police department that was sometimes troubled with investigations into officer wrongdoing. Then it went with the county, then Duvall, and now, probably, the sheriff again. But you can’t go home again, by which I mean that the startup costs of bring-ing back even a tiny, independent Carnation police force are probably prohibitive. Maybe the town should just hire a marshal.

Why we win journalism awards—hint, it’s really you

I took a moment in the newspaper this week to talk about our Washington Newspaper Publisher’s Association awards. The six story prizes—plus anoth-er news writer finalist award for Carol Ladwig, who, once again, is the second greatest writer for papers our size and bigger in the state—are a neat ego boost, showing us that the time we put in is worthwhile.

The truth is, Carol and I like to tell stories, and it happens to be our job. We tell them every week about things both exciting and boring. But to win awards, we have to find stories that really speak. A big reason we win these awards, maybe the main one, is that year in and out, this Valley keeps its connection with us. Like the mail and the weather, it never stops—even on deadline, our phone rings, our doorbell jingles, and the in-box fills up with story ideas, with people sharing their blessings, irks and grand ideas. There is no such thing as a slow Valley news week.

So, even though it’s our names on the award cer-tificates, it’s actually a whole community that cares enough to share its lives and stories with us that’s the secret to a job well done.

Keep it up. You know where to find us.

Immediately prior to Snoqualmie, he supervised at Mercer Island, Maple Valley and Ravensdale post offices. In the summer, he filled in at Carnation. Considered a working postmaster, Gruetzmacher has more of a frontline, hands-on role in Snoqualmie.

Learning new things“I’m starting to get to know the individuals in the community, the

customer base. That’s nice,” Gruetzmacher said. “It’s been almost nine years since I had the ability to contact people on a daily basis.”

He praised Snoqualmie employees, Mary Abbott-Retzlaff and Yun Chang, as a wonderful team. They’re helping him learn new things.

“I’ve always prided myself (on being able) to learn anything and everything, because it always made my job more fun, to be able to do different things.”

In his years at the front desk, Gruetzmacher has learned the power of friendliness.

“Since I went into management, there’s definitely a need to approach a situation with a smile,” Gruetzmacher said. “It can cer-tainly take what can be a difficult issue, and bring it down a bit.”

Gruetzmacher never thought he’d run an office like this, not when he started.

“I said I wasn’t going to retire from the post office,” he said. “It’s 25 years later.” He grew up in Bothell, where his mother worked as a supervisor. She convinced him to take the civil service exam in high school. At the time, Gruetzmacher wasn’t interested in further study.

“I wanted to get out of high school and just see what life was going to bring me.”

One day, he took a day off from school, drove to Kent for the test, and passed. He was hired the following March, as a clerk.

“I ended up working with carriers who used to come by when I was a teenager—with long hair, the stereo booming at my parents’ house—pounding on the door.”

On the jobSorting mail from flat tubs for delivery to businesses, Gruetzmacher

is the second-to-last human step in a chain that leads to their inbox.Most of this mail is sorted by a machine, most recently at

Redmond, soon to change to Seattle as the post office consolidates.It’s a changing world for mail. The first-class letter, once the U.S.

Post Office’s bread and butter, has gone the way of the dinosaur. Electronic diversion—e-mail—means that “something you would put a 46-cent stamp now and slip it into one of our boxes” instead goes through the electronic ether. That said, commercial mail—catalogs, promotional materials—has actually increased a bit, says Gruetzmacher, probably because it gets into people’s hands.

Notes, personal packages—mail, in short—all has meaning, says Gruetzmacher.

“It’s nice to actually receive a card, a letter,” he said. “Someone took the time to sit down and write you a letter. There’s value to that.”

Among his goals in Snoqualmie: Reorganizing and boosting the use of post office boxes among residents. About a quarter are empty.

Gruetzmacher sees the post office as an important part of how people communicate.

“There’s definitely a need” for a local office, Gruetzmacher said, “particularly with the growing population we have here.”

POSTmaSTer FrOm 1The human touchValley Record writers net awards for making the news personal

Putting a human touch on the news—that is how the writers at the Snoqualmie Valley Record earned state recognition.

The Record picked up seven honors in the annual Washington Newspaper Publisher’s Association Better Newspaper Contest, which judges papers of similar size and readership.

Record staff Seth Truscott and Carol Ladwig took second for “No Way Out: Search for suspected killer ends with death inside Rattlesnake Ridge bunker,” which chronicled the search for and death of North Bend double-murder suspect Peter Keller.

“A great lead and a well-told, bizarre story,” judges commented. Ladwig picked up a first place for best story on the arts, for “Back

to Twin Peaks,” a retrospective of the cult show and its annual Valley festival. “By the end of the story, I was aware the purpose was to advance the festival, but the presentation of the diner owner’s stories about the show and her business would have been enough to get people reading,” a judge wrote.

Ladwig was, once again, a second-place finalist for the News Writer of the Year award.

“Putting human faces on local pocket book issues is the most effective way to write superior stories about doing more with less,” the judge wrote. “Ladwig provides good reads on what could have been dreadfully dry reading.”

Truscott got second place in the ‘News of the Weird’ category for his story, “Paranormal Activity,” on the bizarre, ghostly happenings at Todd and Cathy Gamble’s Snoqualmie home.

“What do those cats see up those stairs?” the judge asked. “Who’s the mysterious, cigarette-smoking girl? Why do doors slam shut on their own? No one knows, and this story only has questions, no answers. And that’s what makes it so good.”

Truscott picked up a first place for “New era for Valley liquor stores,” a look at the last moments of public liquor store sales in 2012, and won second place for best long news story for “New

promise for lives cut short,” a follow-up article that looked at efforts by the family members of Lynnettee and Kaylene Keller, the two women killed in a deadly April 2013 rampage.

Also winning second place for best environmental story for “Trash, then traps,” a look at the issues surrounding garbage-eating bears in the Snoqualmie area. “Not just another piece of flat writ-ing,” judges said.

return to Twin PeaksNo one warned her about the pie. If they had, Pat Cokewell might have been better prepared for the rush of business her little Mar-T Cafe (now Twede’s) in North Bend enjoyed when “Twin Peaks” came out. Then again, maybe not.

Trash, then trapsA low, steady moan comes from inside the steel tube as Sgt. Kim Chandler approaches. When he gets too close, the occupant lets out a huffy snort, and Chandler springs back, not eager to get his face coated in bear sneeze.

Last call for liquorCustomers were steady at North Bend’s Liquor Store No. 179 as the clock ticked down to closing time Thursday, May 31. The shelves and stockroom, though tidy, seemed eerily empty.

Paranormal activityWhen they moved in, Cathy and Todd Gamble were both taken by the charms of their new Snoqualmie home. But, from the very first moment, there were some signs that all is not normal at this 1917 Maple Avenue cottage.

Keller scholarshipEighteen-year-old Kaylene had the perfect life of a teen. She and boyfriend Carson Brammer were taking their love of video games to a new level.... Then her happy future came to an abrupt, shock-ingly violent end.

Quilts of the pastFall City’s annual meeting explores pioneer quilts, the Oregon Trail

The Fall City Historical Society’s annual community meeting always includes a special presentation.

This year, the meeting is capped with a look at “Pioneer Quilts and the Oregon Trail,” presented by art historian Susan Olds, 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27, at the Fall City Masonic Hall.

The event includes refreshments and a display of Fall City quilts. All are welcome.The day includes a brief membership meeting and a vote on board candidates for the

coming year. Then, Olds begins her look at fabric history.

Pioneer quiltsThe thousands of women and their

families who braved the dangers of the Oregon Trail in the mid-1800s left a legacy in their quilts.

Olds will feature true stories of intrep-id women quilters who braved the westward migration of the 1800s. Learn how women coped with harsh frontier conditions and kept their connections to home through their quilt-making. To lessen the boredom of walking beside a wagon eight hours a day, women often quilted as they walked. Few belongings were taken on the trail but quilts were essential for warmth and bed-ding. They also served as insulation for wagons, buckboard padding, protection of valuables, and often served as burial cloths for family members lost along the way.

Learn about how families prepared for the journey west. See friendship quilts and utilitar-ian quilts, new patterns from the trail, and fab-ric diaries. Excerpts from diaries will document the fortitude and the spirit of pioneer quilters, including one woman who survived the trek west , settled in Oregon and during her lifetime completed 14 quilts and raised nine children.

To learn more, send an e-mail to [email protected]

Susan Olds is an art historian and mixed media artist who works in paper, book arts and fabric collage. She lives in North Bend with her husband David and daughter Keira, two dogs, two parakeets and lots of wildlife.

It was a short, but awesome field trip. Snoqualmie Elementary students dressed for the weather, and for mud, worms, plants, tools, and more mud. They squelched through, dug up, and pretended to get stuck in mud up to their ankles, and teachers encouraged the nearly 400 kids who participated to rub the mud between their fingers, to get an idea of the texture they needed for planting.

Over two days earlier this month, the students visited Snoqualmie’s Centennial Fields park next door, working in shifts to build a rain garden. They planted sedge, sallal, and currant in what had been a drainage ditch, and they understood why they were doing it: Their wetland, running behind the park and school, was starting to show signs of trouble.

“We’re very invested in our wetland,” said SES Principal Kerstin Cramer. The older stu-dents periodically test its water quality with help from the Mountains to Sound Greenway.

“The tests this year are the first time they haven’t gotten anything but good and pure water,” said Aaron Clark, the rain garden project manager with Stewardship Partners. Sediments found in the tests included brake pad residue and motor oil, likely from the nearby parking lot. Stewardship Partners received a grant from the city of Snoqualmie to develop a rain garden, to counteract some of the effects of runoff from the parking lot.

“A lot of these plants will not only catch debris and sediment in run-off, but also trans-form it,” Clark said, breaking it down to elements that the plants can take in.

Initially, Clark had planned several community work days to build the garden, until Cramer saw the opportunity for her students and suggested the partnership. Clark and his team met with each SES class to talk about rain gardens and their purposes earlier in the week, then brought them out to the park for the hands-on experience.

Nice and

steadyWith single strokes deciding matches,

Mount Si golf team reaches for consistencyBy Seth truScott

Editor

Jimmy Jacobson shook off a bad start last Wednesday, Oct. 2, and evened things out to stay in the top five.

One of Mount Si’s more consistent golfers this fall, Jacobson jumped from the middle of the pack to hit a peak in recent weeks.

In play at home against Mercer Island this week, “I dropped more strokes on the first hole than I did on the whole rest of the course.” But he made some critical putts and got back into the game.

“I was trying to avoid the big numbers,” he said. “Just keep your head, hit each shot the best you can.”

Mount Si won against Mercer Island with 191—just two strokes lower than the Islanders.

Duncan Kelly had a good day, hitting 37 on nine holes, as did freshman Peter Yoshikawa. In addi-tion to Jacobson, Joe Steenvoorde hit 39, as did Jake Archambeau in his second-lowest score of the season.

Gavin Gorrell hit 40, and Reed Pattenaude and Nick McAlister shot 42.

“I had a lot of one-putts,” said Steenvoord, his great putting making up for a few not-so-stellar shots. “It wasn’t an amazing round, but it worked. It was just chasing after pars, kind of a scramble.”

He’s having a good season, getting into the top five in all matches. Snacking on a halved hot dog following Wednesday’s play, Steenvoorde, a junior, described his competitive approach. “If they hit a good shot, I want to match it, or do better. My goal is to make it to league, then go to districts, by perfecting my swing and working on my putts.”

As Jacobson knows, golf can be challenging. Every course, every game is dif-ferent. “There are so many different shots, ways to play, different holes,” he said. “It’s always new.” Jacobsen praised the team’s freshmen, Yoshikawa and Gorrell: “They’ve both been pretty good this year.”

Breaking the streakThe 2013 squad has a lot of depth. Where it needs to come through is in indi-

vidual consistency. During the regular varsity season, coach Brandon Proudfoot plays 10 boys and counts five scores, and he usually has five boys come home with decent scores. But it’s not always the same five. Steenvoorde and Jacobson have been getting increasingly stable, low scores. Proudfoot is waiting to see who else solidifies their scores.

His top 14 golfers “are all capable of shooting even par.”The KingCo league itself has gotten considerably tougher in recent years.

There’s far more parity now, says Proudfoot. Of eight teams, seven are contenders, and matches are decided by as little as a stroke.

Mount Si’s record is 4-2. They host Liberty at home on Tuesday, then head into the postseason. Coach Proudfoot will select the best six to continue on to league play and beyond. League, district and state play is 18 holes, unlike the regular sea-son, so stamina plays a key role. Follow the team at www.kingcogolf.com.

Robinswood team brings home National Championship

By JoSh SuMANof the Bellevue Reporter

After dozens of matches, months of competition and trips around the country, Robinswood Tennis Center in Bellevue is home to a national champion team that includes one Valley woman.The women’s 2.5 team won the 18 & Over age bracket at the USTA National Championships in Indian Wells, Calif., recently to bring home the title after winning a series of titles to advance to the final tournament. The national championship is the second for Robinswood Tennis Center, joining the men’s 3.0 team that won the title in 2010, and the first for head coach Jason Chapman. The Robinswood team won a round-robin flight to advance to the semi-finals, where they won a match over a team from Warrenton, Va., 2-1. There, they defeated a team from West Virginia 3-0 to capture the national title. For Chapman, who said he has been to the biggest stage of USTA tennis more than a dozen times as a player and coach, the moment was a culmination. “I basically cried,” said Chapman, who had his pregnant wife and pseudo assistant coach by his side for his first national title.Chapman said the team, which is com-prised of players from all over the Eastside and Seattle, has a number of varying personalities among its eight members, including an internationally renowned opera singer in Heidi Person of Fall City. When the title on the court was secure, the team was treated to a performance from their musical star that Chapman said was music to everyone’s ears. “It was amazing,” he said.

“At first, I wanted to be an ‘evil doll.’ That wasn’t available,” she said. “Werewolves seemed like the best option.”

This family event moves to a new date and almost-new loca-tion, but still draws on a big group of volunteers aiming to creep you out.

No macabre undertaking is without unexpected difficulties. Dark Trail is normally held the weekend before Halloween, but

an unexpected date for Homecoming at Mount Si High School took that slot. With dozens of teens involved, the event had to move. The start location also had to budge a block, because the Trailside Building on Snoqualmie Ridge was occupied.

“We weren’t supposed to have these problems,” said founding organizer Mark Hennig. “We’ve been able to work around them.” The new site, at the Puget Sound Energy building in the Ridge business park, is better. The trail here is spookier, assures Hennig.

Hennig’s trail vision encompasses eight different scenes, or performances. Students from Cascade Dance Academy, Big Star

Studios, IGNITE Dance and Yoga and DMW Martial Arts are all part of the weekend’s scenes.

“They’re going to be doing something special,” is all Hennig will say. “If I give everything away, nobody will come!”

Another ongoing tradition is the on-trail singing group.This year, trail organizers hired a local man, Michael Matlock,

to write “Cleopatra’s Lament,” about a saucy undead queen eager for some company to spend eternity with. She’s joined by a gang of backup mummies, some nasty, some nice.

“It’s something that’s a Snoqualmie Valley signature, as opposed to doing what everybody else is doing,” said Hennig.

• Park at the Puget Sound Energy building at 35413 SE Douglas St., Snoqualmie, and begin your spooky journey on the nearby trail. The walk is about a quarter-mile. Admission is $10, with proceeds going to the Mount Si Food Bank.

why did the elk cross the road?Valley Record reader Don Detrick of North Bend snapped a photo of traffic backing up shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, on Highway 202, alongside Meadowbrook Farm. The reason: A bull elk crossing the road.

Courtesy PhotoA Day of service for Carnation churchThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Carnation congregation held their annual Day of Service on Saturday, Sept. 14, in Carnation, after the city’s mayor requested they improve the appearance of Tolt Commons and the Carnation Cemetery. Twenty-five volunteers filled up lots of yard bags, containers and a truck bed with yard waste, picked up trash, and spruced the sites up.

Helping around the Valley/reader Photos

Courtesy PhotoFall City donations top $11,000Organizers of this year’s Fall City Fun Run donated $11,500 to Snoqualmie Valley Schools and local youth groups, marking a successful first effort for the all-volunteer effort. With sponsorship from many Fall City businesses and organizations, Sharon and Perry Wilkins, left, and Kirk and Sophie Harris, right, put on the 2013 Fall City Days run, hosting 766 runners for the event. They presented $10,400 to local schools, represented by Chief Kanim Middle School Principal Kirk Dunckel and Fall City Elementary Principal Dan Schlotfeldt, center, and another $1,100 to local youth groups. Total distributions were: $4,869 to Fall City Elementary; $3,418 to Chief Kanim; $895 to Mount Si High School; $412 to Cascade View Elementary; $322 to Snoqualmie Elementary; $269 to North Bend Elementary; $143 to Opstad Elementary; $54 to Twin Falls Middle School; and $18 to Two Rivers. Youth groups receiving funds included the Mount Si High School wrestling team, $300; Fall City Girl Scouts, $100; the Mount Si cheer squad, $400; and the Mount Si Class of 2014, $300. Next year’s Fun Run is June 14. Learn more at www.fallcity.org/run.html.
