Vanishing signs

Election season marked by candidate signs disappearing

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

It’s a spooky time of year for elec-tion signs. The ubiquitous “vote for” placards posted throughout the Valley have been mysteriously disappearing in places, never to be seen again.

So what dark forces snatched up most of Marci Busby’s signs from Fall City two weeks ago, or picked off her opponent David Spring’s signs within the hour they were posted in a North Bend neighbor-hood? We’ll probably never know, because neither Snoqualmie nor North Bend police have received many reports on the disappear-ances—a typical sign costs under $5, so it’s hard to think of as a theft —and if they did, they wouldn’t have much to investigate.

“The police said that, since there was no eyewitness, that nothing could be done,” Spring wrote in an e-mail to the Record, referring to a report he filed, not so much for his missing sign, but to report collat-eral damage to a nearby street sign.

Back to polls, again, for Si ViewBy Carol ladwig

Staff Reporter

In a tight economy, the Si View Metropolitan Parks District has twice successfully gone to its vot-ers to preserve its funding. This year is no different, in that Si View has a Prop. 1 on the ballot, but in terms of what Si View returns on that investment, it’s already been a lot different.

“Have we expanded? Well, we really just refined what we currently run,” says Executive Director Travis Stombaugh. “We don’t have more offerings, but we serve more people. Each program has gotten bigger and bigger.”

The parks district, serv-ing about 40,000 residents in North Bend, unincorporated Snoqualmie, Fall City and the Lower Valley, has had about 112,000 participants in one or more of its programs so far this year.

North Bend publishes homeless problem surveyIn trying to address the issues surrounding its homeless/transient population, North Bend is turning to its citizens. The city has created an 18-question survey on community concerns and priorities, and encourages residents to complete the survey, either online, or on a paper copy, available at City Hall. The North Bend Council’s Public Safety Committee requested the survey, City Administrator Londi Lindell said, in response to citizens’ concerns about a seemingly growing number of homeless people and problems. “There’s been a pretty big uptick in our calls for service and a lot of them have had to do with the perceived transient popu-lation,” Lindell said. People are offering largely anecdotal evidence of what they see as a growing problem, she said, including not feeling safe going out at night, finding drug paraphernalia in their yards and in parks, and concerns for the safety of their children. “These are the complaints I’ve been getting and the council’s been getting,” she said, adding that residents were quite vocal about their concerns at a recent public information meeting on the emergency winter homeless shelter, scheduled to open at North Bend Community Church on Nov. 15. Although the survey is informal, she felt the data could help the council to grasp the problem, and maybe determine if there is an actual increase, or just a perceived one in the homeless population and its problems. “It’s not a statistically accurate survey…. but I think it’s just helpful, information gathering,” Lindell said. The survey asks citizens to prioritize the city’s responsibilities and share general safety concerns. It also specifically asks respondents about exposure to and concerns about such issues as homeless camps, the winter shelter, illegal drug use, and panhandling. It is available online (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NB-HOMELESS, or from the city’s website) through Nov. 15. North Bend has been working on homeless issues for many months, and passed a no-camping ordinance in January to ban people from sleeping on public property. Police Chief Mark Toner will host the monthly public safety meeting on the issues of homelessness, 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21 at the Mount Si Senior Center. On Saturday, Nov. 2, organizers of the Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter host a public information meeting on the shelter plans for the coming season. The meeting is 11 a.m. at the North Bend Community Church, 146 E. Third St., North Bend.

Fans crowd in for Jenckes’ autograph after his surprise concert Thursday, Oct. 24, in Duvall. Enterprising girls who hadn’t bought a CD to sign just asked the singer to sign their hands, and were delighted when he did. Below, Jenckes performs with his cousin, Robert Perez.

Valley’s own ‘Voice’ Austin Jenckes visits his roots, gives surprise concert

By Carol ladwig Staff Reporter

Hunched over his guitar and grinning, red-faced, Austin Jenckes kicks out one, sometimes both of his booted feet as he plays. He’s more humble hometown boy than the rock star a capacity crowd has gathered to celebrate, and he’s the first to admit it.

“I really appreciate all of you being here tonight,” Jenckes told a crowd of 950-plus at the Riverview School District offices in Duvall Oct. 24 for his surprise concert. “All of this is actually kind of freaking me out!”

Jenckes was rewarded with laughs, whoops and applause from the audience, many of them local people who’d watched him grow up in the Valley, or grew up with him. This was their Austin, the one who played Little League in North Bend and football at Cedarcrest, the one who sang at his 2006 graduation ceremony, the one who played music every chance he got.

They’ve been sharing him with TV view-ers ever since the 25-year-old Valley man was selected to compete in NBC’s “The Voice,” this fall, but tonight he was all theirs.

On the show, Jenckes competes with other hand-selected musicians for an opportunity for nationwide fame. He’s also being coached for success, but no one can teach him a thing about how to talk to his hometown crowd.

“I’ll say it again, my name is Austin Jenckes, and I come from Duvall Washington, and…” whatever else he was going to say was lost in the roar of approval from the audience when he opened his show Thursday night.

His first song was a heart-wrencher, one he said he played when he missed his father. Jenckes’ father committed suicide when Jenckes was only 16. A tiny, sympa-thetic “aww” rolled through the room, and a few tears followed, but Jenckes brought everyone back up with his tales of fishing at Rattlesnake Lake with his dad, and his message, keep on fishin’.

Soon, Jenckes brought out his cousin, Robert Perez, on the drums, and the pair

had the crowd clapping and singing along, and eventually holding up their lit cell-phones in homage.

The choruses of “We love you Austin!” throughout the show came so fast at times, Jenckes couldn’t even grin and shout “Love you back!” every time. He didn’t even try when a group of men’s voices started echo-ing the girls’, just laughed with everyone else.

By the end of the night, some of the youngest kids in the audience were curled up on the floor in front of the stage, and everyone was unabashedly singing along.

To introduce what he thought was his finale, he said simply, “All right, here we go,” and played the opening notes of “Simple Man,” sending a hushed thrill through the crowd. It was the song he played to end his many Duvall SummerStage shows over the years, and the song he played in audition for “The Voice.”

It wasn’t, however, his last song. His people weren’t done with him, and called him back for several encores, including his real finale to get everyone moving, “Twist and Shout.”

“I am the luckiest person on the planet,” a grateful Jenckes told his grateful crowd.

The concert, hosted by the Duvall Cultural Commission, also benefited the St. Vincent De Paul Food Bank in Duvall.

Video and photos of the concert will be available on the Duvall Cultural Commission’s website and Facebook page this week.

Thursday, Oct. 27, 1988• Once again, the growth is concerning. The massive Snoqualmie Ridge propos-al looms over Snoqualmie, and now a similar package is under similar study at North Bend. Frederick Peterson of Wahluke Farms last week submitted a 975-acre annexation request for land south of the city, extending to Wilderness Rim, which could encom-pass 2,700 homes.

Thursday, Oct. 31, 1963• The Mount Si Wildcats unloaded an explosive offense and some tremendous blocking on their home field as they handed the Bellevue Wolverines their second loss of the season, a 19-6 drubbing.• Jamaica—Lisbon—Gibraltar—Port Said—Melbourne. These are a few of the ports of call in the world cruise itinerary of Miss Mildred Winters of Snoqualmie, who departs Nov. 10 for a four-month voyage on the P&O liner Oransay. She will travel with her friend-by-correspondance, Frances Phelan of Las Vegas. It’ll be the first time they meet, face to face.

Voter’s forum helps exercise your rights

On behalf of the membership of the Rotary Club of Snoqualmie Valley, I want to extend our thanks to those who participated in the candidate forum on Wednesday, Oct. 23, at the Freshman Campus.

Rotary exists to promote the ideal of “ser-vice above self.” So, we see great value in an event like this, where voters have the oppor-tunity to talk face to face with those who will represent them in their government. Dick Ryon’s effort in organizing made this event possible, and he was able to do so on very short notice. He did an excellent job.

Even in this off-cycle election year, there are still many important races, and I want to thank the 12 candidates and representatives who made themselves available to answer questions from voters. If you were not able to attend our forum, I would encourage you to read the voter’s guide and visit the web-sites of the candidates for office. And most importantly, please exercise your cherished right to vote.

I want to thank Mount Si High School for making its facilities available, My Cakes for providing the food, Starbucks for bringing the coffee, and Living Snoqualmie for its pro-motional efforts. We look forward to future events like this.

Peter D. BullardPresident, Snoqualmie Valley Rotary

Let’s all be adults and move on

It is most interesting that a small group of extremists cannot accept that the majority of our country’s citizens do not share their point of view.

Our President was elected twice by popular vote. If he was the product of a monarchy, he would have been born a prince, and his father or mother a king or queen. Demonizing him at every turn does not further your cause.

This country most certainly is a consti-tutional republic, but it is also a democracy. Therefore the majority prevails; also a fact taught in civics class. A claim by folks on the political fringe (left or right) that they are the majority is patently false. Just because the majority of people with whom you surround yourself agree with your opinion does not mean that a majority of the electorate agrees.

As to the Affordable Care Act being the result of a totalitarian government, that is laughable. It was approved by both the Senate and the House, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. Therefore all three branches of government approved it. A review of our constitution will bear this out. It’s the law, whether you agree with it or not. Get over it.

The sad thing is that these individuals have not learned that the way to change govern-ment is by working within rather than trying to destroy it. It’s time to accept that in life, one does not always get his or her way. A temper tantrum by a small, noisy group leads to a loss of credibility for their cause. Tea Party people, I respect your right to hold your point of view, but you’ve lost this fight. Let’s be adults and move on. A failure to do so will result in your group being relegated to no more than a footnote in this nation’s history, like the Know Nothing Party or the Wobblies.

Secretaries say BusbyThe Snoqualmie Valley Administrative

Secretary Association endorses Marci Busby for Snoqualmie Valley School District school board.

As a group, we have worked for many years in the front offices of our district, elementary, middle and high schools. Serving our com-munities’ children has been both a joy and a privilege. We are dedicated to their safety, well-being and academic achievement, and take pride in the quality of education our schools provide them.

For these reasons, we care deeply about who oversees the schools in our district and we support Marci Busby as she seeks re-election.

Marci Busby represents the values we need most, integrity, experience, and a willingness to listen to staff and community on all issues. She values teachers and has a long track record in support-ing them.

Marci understands the urgent priority to build a sixth elementary school with-in our boundaries. We salute her belief in the Freshman Campus and willingness to see the concept through to fruition. Marci has a solid plan to manage future growth in our district and a realistic bond and levy approach for taxpayers.

In short, Marci listens to our staff and com-munity and does not promote her own per-sonal agenda. We need her gentle voice and dedication to our children on our school board.

Who doesn’t want better education?

In a conversation last week, I asked the question, “Who doesn’t want much better education for our kids?” One response: “I know people who are satisfied with the way it is now, or whose kids are graduated and don’t

care anymore, or who don’t expect a return on district investment with the present adminis-tration and school board.”

Although I have occasionally heard this, I expected it, given the sheer numbers of people I discuss our schools with. I did not expect a full-time working parent with much less opportunity to engage in such conversations with others to hear this from others. Is this an indicator of a significant growing sentiment? Or an isolated small minority of voters and taxpayers? I think it’s time to ask: Do you wish to see improved, relevant, competitive educa-tion for our public school kids, even with the limited funds we have?

There have been improvements within our school district over the 17 years I’ve lived here. Sadly, the pace of such improve-

ments has been inadequate for us to keep up with foreign nations pushing the USA fur-ther down the ranking list every year. We need to not only continue improvements but do so more cost-effi-ciently and with a pace that enables our kids to ultimately compete for good jobs and become better voting citizens. You can help with this.

Please vote for David Spring on the ballot you just received. In working with him on important school matters, I’ve found him to be smart, dedicated, detail-oriented, and educated with

a focus on child development. Most impor-tantly, better experience than his oppo-nent, in business, teaching at Bellevue College, pursuing education funding, and developing solutions. Unlike other past and present school board directors here, David will actually instigate board discus-sion on blocking issues, invest time outside of meetings, come prepared with solution ideas, and further the upgrade of our school board that voters began two years ago. We should all expect excellence in our school board directors and elect those who favor the greatest return on our tax dollars.

Continue the upgrade of our school board this week and return your ballot by November 5.

Munden is a city advocate

As a retired math/science teacher from Mount Si High School, I appreciate Heather Munden championing many educational issues during her campaign for the open seat on the Snoqualmie City Council. Snoqualmie is one of the fastest growing cities in the state and has the most children per capita of any King County city or town. Because of this, I feel it is important for the city of Snoqualmie to partner with the Snoqualmie Valley School District in order to take advantage of the dedicated land within the city limits for future schools. This would alleviate the problem of so many Snoqualmie children continually commuting to neighbor-ing communities in order to attend school. I was also happy to see that Heather supported giving Mount Si High School a height increase variation, so the SVSD board has more flexibility to main-tain the current location of Snoqualmie schools —especially within the downtown core.

Heather is also an advocate of the community and technical col-lege system, where she promotes a branch campus located within the community for professional development, as well as an option for Mount Si High School students to participate locally in the Running Start Program. Additionally, Heather supports the part-nership between the Washington Network for Innovative Careers (WaNIC) and the new Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. This vital project provides career-oriented educational programs for high school juniors and seniors, and will allow area high school students to train in the healthcare field.

Snoqualmie will benefit from Heather Munden becoming the city’s newest council member, as she is a friend of education. I strongly urge you to check out her website at Heather4council.com, and to vote for Heather Munden on Election Day.

Not cool with candidate couponNot that a political ad rubber-banded to my doorknob

is ever a welcome sight, but I couldn’t help but find Heather Munden’s latest canvasing a bit tasteless, regardless how sweet it attempted to be. Though I’ve tried my hardest to become immune to Ms. Munden’s ubiquitous ads that pollute our neigh-borhood, I can’t ignore the inclusion of a coupon good for a free cupcake in her latest flier. I do not know Ms. Munden, nor do I honestly believe anyone in our small town is attempting to buy the public’s vote for a seat on the city council. Nevertheless, I do know bad judgment when I see it. And I’m willing to bet that the barrage of endorsers her yard signs so proudly announce, our honorable mayor included, would never have made such a decision.

We all know politics in that other Washington (and maybe down the road in Olympia, too) is a bought-and-paid for hornet’s nest of conflicting interests and impropriety. But that doesn’t mean we should stand for the slightest hint of it here in Snoqualmie. I know a lot of people are probably thinking this is no big deal, that a coupon for a free cupcake is harmless, or good branding on her part, but I disagree. Money, bribes, and the culture of quid pro quo is doing this country in at all levels of gov-ernment. Regardless of her credentials, proposals, and endorse-ments, I can’t vote for anyone who would think it a good idea to mix free gifts of food in with their political advertisements. It’s a slippery enough slope as it is. Let’s not pave it with frosting.

Vote for Hauglie, Lambert saysIt is always a pleasure to work with Kevin Hauglie. He is respon-

sive and cares deeply about his community and the people he serves. He is deeply rooted in this community and serves in roles as a businessman, family man, and responsible commissioner.

Whatever Kevin does, he does with dedication and common sense. He goes the extra mile to see that the people of the Valley are well represented. He is willing to work hard and take on tasks big and small that need to be accomplished, and does them well. He listens carefully to people.

Kevin’s experience as a commissioner shows that he is always striving to be informed. Kevin served on the medical committee for three years. He is on the finance committee and has been for the past three years. He currently serves on the facilities com-mittee and has since 2004, providing vital administration and building update oversight on the current and new hospital plus all clinics.

Kevin is talented, caring and dedicated. For these reasons, I encourage you to vote to re-elect Kevin Hauglie as your hospital commissioner, so he can continue his wonderful service for us.

Norris brings dedicationIn next week’s election, the citizens of the Snoqualmie Valley

have the chance to elect Dariel Norris, a highly qualified long-time local resident to position 2 on the board of commissioners of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital.

As a friend, neighbor and colleague of Dariel’s for over 30 years I can attest to her unflagging energy and dedication to serving her community. A qualified nurse working at Harborview, Dariel retired from that profession to raise her eight children and directed her considerable talents into working with the Preston Community Club to fend off inappropriate development and to build the park and soccer fields that are proving to be a regional benefit.

After countless hours working on appeals and sitting in meet-ings Dariel and other Community Club members were able to negotiate better environmental and community protection dur-ing the development of the industrial park. She then moved on to become a significant member of the team that put together the Preston Park, working with King County and other stakeholders, all while running her own business.

As a hospital commissioner, Dariel will continue to serve her community with integrity and commitment.

Hauglie and Jones show what’s best in Valley

As a former Hospital employee, I can affirm firsthand the Snoqualmie Valley has greatly benefited from Hospital District Commissioner Kevin Hauglie and President Dick Jones’ brilliant —I would call it courageous—leadership these past six years. They have helped transform the then-struggling hospital into a thriving 21st century healthcare institution, well suited to the personality of the Valley and able to meet its growing needs well into the future.

On their watch, the hospital became an early adopter of elec-tronic medical records. Its Critical Access designation, region-ally acclaimed swing bed program, rehab department and the upgrade of its urgent care unit to a 24/7 ER are just a few examples of Hauglie and Jones’ vision and stewardship. Most importantly, those in the know have recognized that the hospital district has achieved medical excellence throughout the entire organization.

Under Commissioners Jones and Hauglie’s leadership, the

As a school system, we are striving to provide for our students the best educational experience possible. We are working to build upon past successes to make our schools even better. Our top priorities this year center on a number of major initiatives that will further improve our schools:• The launch of the Mount Si High School Freshman Campus this fall has been a big success, as the feedback from staff, parents, and students has been very positive.• Principals and teachers are working to align our curriculum with the Common Core state standards. These standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. They are designed to be rig-orous, relevant to the real world, and reflective of the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.• Our district is also making a strong push into STEM educational programming. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is an integrated hands-on approach to learning which focuses upon real-world problem-solving. Because engi-neering, math, science and technology-fluency are what many employers and universities are seeking, our students need this type of educational experience if they are to be competitive upon graduating from high school.• Another major initiative is implementation of a new system for teacher and principal evaluation. The new system will focus upon growth, improvement, and accountability. The teachers and principals in our district are doing excellent work in our class-rooms and schools. We believe that the new evaluation system will be a source of support for them as they work to deepen their knowledge and further refine their skills.In the coming months, planning related to school facilities will continue as we look toward the future and consider how educa-tion will be delivered to students attending our schools in the years to come.In addition to the aforementioned initiatives, our principals, teachers, and support staff will undoubtedly be looking to incor-porate other innovative strategies, programs, and changes this year—all in the interest of better supporting the students in our schools. Our dedicated staff believes that the children of our community deserve the best school experience possible. I invite you to support them in this important work.

district has accomplished all this while navigating extraordinarily difficult economic times these past several years. Please note: They’re paying down debt. The district operates in the black. The hospital and its clinics provide living wage jobs for hundreds of employees, most of whom I believe actually live in the Valley. All this and more has been accomplished without raising taxes once.

Please consider voting for Dick Jones and Kevin Hauglie for Hospital District Board of Commissioners. They exemplify what is best about the Valley and have earned your vote of confidence for another term in office.

Hearing supports HauglieAs I speak to my fellow citizens, (I find) a most commonly

unknown fact about one of the hospital commissioner races—that a sitting commissioner, Gene Pollard, who has four years remaining on his existing term, is actively campaigning against a fellow commissioner, Kevin Hauglie.

King County Elections has never seen this before. It serves no purpose, except to waste everyone’s time. Pollard has four years remaining as a seated commissioner to be involved and able to impose his views.

I encourage everyone to consider this and vote for Kevin Hauglie.

Spring said he’d placed his cam-paign sign near a county road sign by Twin Falls Middle School, and a driver, apparently intent on removing his sign, knocked them both over.

“Someone drove their car right at the street sign—knocking over the street sign,” Spring wrote. “They then took my sign and drove over it several times….”

Most of the time, the sign-nappers seem to be content with swiping the goods, even out of private yards, Busby reported.

“We never imagined someone would take approximately 100 signs in one night. Signs were also taken from people’s yards on their private property,” she wrote in an e-mail update. A few of the perpetra-tors, though, are more destructive. Besides tire tracks, Spring has found signs with broken stakes, cut-off stakes, and torn to pieces, in total about 40 of the 190 he has posted.

Heather Munden, who recently took down her signs in Snoqualmie, reported losing 27 of the 83 she had originally posted. She’s also experi-enced sign tampering, but hesitates to call it vandalism.

“One creative individual, who I don’t know and never met, wanted to join in on the fun,” she wrote in an e-mail to the Record. Maybe it was Tim Barnes, maybe someone playing a prank on him, but shortly after Munden had added “endorsed by” cards to her signs, Tim Barnes made an addition, too.

“He printed his own endorse-ment sign and placed it over an existing (one),” Munden wrote, “so drivers on the Parkway would read ‘Endorsed by TIM BARNES 29 Handicap.’”

City law in North Bend and Snoqualmie allows signs in public right of way, while county law does not; all signs must be removed by 10 days after the election. Tampering with election signs is a misdemeanor offense.

IN THE SNOQUALMIE VALLEY

Commissioner versus commissioner

Q&A with Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District opponents Kevin Hauglie, Gene PollardIn an unusual race this autumn, two sitting commissioners for the King County Public Hospital District No. 4—which

runs Snoqualmie Valley Hospital—are facing each other at the polls.

Kevin Hauglie of Fall City is up for re-election in position 4. He is being challenged by Gene Pollard, a county resident, who was elected to position 3 in 2011.

Pollard is running to unseat Hauglie, and says he will resign his position 3 seat if he wins.

The Record asked both candidates about their record, this race and issues facing the district.

Election 2013Snoqualmie Valley Hospital

Kevin Hauglie1: The short answer is to finish what I started, and that is to build a hospital, but that is really an incomplete statement, because the delivery of medical services is evolving. In a hospital setting, you so oftentimes today need a single-person room. Today at the hospital, we turn away about 30 people a month, because we don’t have single-occupancy rooms. When the new hospital is complete at the end of 2014, that’s really just the beginning, the opportunity to bring new services, both inpatient and outpatient, and the opportunity to truly portray our recognized, best-practices-model swing bed program. I’m running to provide quality medical care, at a good economic value, to the constituents of our district. Serving on the medical committee initially, and the finance and facilities more recently, I’m on the cutting edge of decisions being made on the new hospital, and I would dearly love to see that job completed. My opponent has a platform, as a sitting com-missioner. I think the election is a waste of energy and people’s time, given the reality of the four years remaining on Commissioner Pollard’s term. 2: I am so proud of our executive team, and their accomplishments with the board of commis-sioners. Eight years ago, we used to generate about $300,000 in revenue on a monthly basis, and today we’re $2.5 million, approximately. We serve people in about 2,500 visits a month. That’s 30,000 people per year, 30,000 people who say yes. There’s also the successful tribe negotiation and the payoff of the contract. That enabled us to pay off the eastside campus at $6.7 million, and we retired about $5 million in debt last year. That still leaves us with a substantial amount of debt in our district, but just like any business that’s growing, or any family that has a mortgage, one of the real questions is can we make our monthly payments? The answer is yes we can, and we are doing it. 3: To that, I would simply say be informed. There is no fraud. We are above board. Our committee meetings, these are workshops where we talk about things, we study things, we monitor things, we enlist input from our executive team, and then we come up with recommendations that are brought to the entire board, and that’s the process. We would love to have more people involved. Every year for the last several years, we have taken the meetings out to the entire district in an effort to be transparent. If you’re a citizen in the community, all you have to do is ask. We comply with all the public records acts, with regard to conveyance of information upon request. 4: About 48 percent of the total revenue was taxation in 2004. Today, it’s about 8.6 percent—the amount that taxes represent of total revenue. Because our operations revenues have grown so successfully, the taxation today is a very, very small percentage of our total revenue. I think there’s an obligation by the board to carry out the mandate of a public hospital district, and that’s to deliver quality health-care services, and to do it as a fiscally-responsible entity, which we do. Also, last year, we donated in the neighborhood of $1.5 million in charity care.

KeVin HAuGlie

Gene Pollard1: I don’t want Mr. Hauglie to “go” but to play a different role in district gover-nance. Earlier, the district had a “Citizens Advisory Committee” but it faded away. A similar committee is very active in KCPHD #3 (Evergreen Medical Center in Kirkland) and it plays a very constructive role in hospital governance, including serving as a community watchdog and transmitting ideas and initiatives to the board and back to the residents and taxpayers. Mr. Hauglie has valuable experi-ence after having served on the board, and he could be an important part of such a committee. This is definitely not a personality issue. We just see things differently. The primary

problem is the present make-up of the board. There are two commissioners from Carnation (Jones and Young), two from Fall City (Hauglie and Speikers) and only one from the Upper Valley (myself). The people of Preston helped establish the district, but in 30 years, have never had a board mem-ber from that area.2: There are several, pretty much of equal significance for me. These include: Opening the door, even just a crack, to more open communications with the public. Specifically, we now see the board’s agenda on the website before meetings and approved minutes are posted; Also, I have had perfect attendance at board meetings since assumption of office.

3: I believe all commissioners should be able to attend all committee meetings, and if they want to, meetings of the staff executive committee and employee meetings led by the superintendent. This is all part of being transparent. State law allows committees to be closed if no decisions are made, as a practical matter, but in our particular case, decision are made in com-mittee and then invariably rubber-stamped by the board.How do we resolve this dilemma? I believe that we should announce each committee meeting publicly and allow people to attend, including other commissioners. There are times when confidentiality is warranted, however. In those cases, it would be proper in the announcement of the meeting to indicate that “part or all of the proceedings will be conducted in executive session.” I have not attended the meetings of the one committee I could attend, the Medical Committee, because I declined appointment to that committee and the board would not allow me to serve on committees of interest to me, as clearly appar-ent from my 2011 election platform.4: We need further work in identifying Valley health care needs (What are the reasons for the Valley’s higher rate of suicides, for example?) Secondly, we need more public involvement in hospital affairs to help identify those needs and get feedback on where the hospital is doing fine and where it needs improvement (see the idea of a community advisory committee). Then we need to make the hospital more cost-effective, including reducing top-heavy management, eliminating fraud, waste, abuse, crony-ism, and the like, and hearing more from caregivers on how things can be improved, not just from the front office. A more responsive board, and a more efficient management, will help us achieve the balance.

Gene PollArD

The questions1: What’s your main reason for running for office? Why do or don’t you think Hauglie should keep his position? Is an election the way to address these issues?2: Is there an accomplishment you’re proudest of from your past term on the board?3: Hauglie: Your opponent says there is fraud, waste and abuse in the hospital, and claimed you’re part of a ‘rubber-stamp’ board that holds closed committee meetings. How do you respond to that, and how are you, as a board member, accountable?3: Pollard: You’ve raised red flags over closed committee meetings, yet your critics argue that you don’t participate. How do you respond to that, and what would you propose for the committee situation?4: How would/do you balance the needs of taxpayers with the need for local health care?

Also, following a major capital project to renovate the facility and fields, the district expanded its success-ful farmers market, concluding the 2013 season with a 15 percent increase in visitors over last year, and nearly $4,000 more in revenue than expenses. It has also slowly increased its revenue from fees and grants; earned rev-enue now accounts for 50 percent of the district’s funding.

“We’ve always been property tax sensitive. We’ve always had the thought of any new programming, or growth, paying for growth,” Stombaugh said.

Si View has been fine-tuning its offerings and opera-tions for years, since property values dropped and levy rates rose to make up the difference. The district was on track to lose all property tax revenues, because of a state-imposed maximum tax rate of $5.90 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Higher-priority taxing agencies, such as fire and hospital districts, all took their shares of the $5.90 before Si View could, leaving the district scrambling.

“Basically, everyone else gets theirs before we get ours,” Stombaugh said.

In 2011, the district appealed to voters to preserve its 2012 funding with two measures that would allow Si View to exceed the $5.90 cap, if needed (not all of its service area

properties meet the cap). Prop. 1 was a six-year proposal to protect part of the district’s annual levy amount, equal to 25 cents per $1,000, and Prop. 2 was a one-year maintenance and opera-tions levy of 28 cents per $1,000 for the remain-der of the funding. Almost 90 percent of voters approved Prop. 1, and 75 percent approved the $462,000 Prop. 2. Last year, 76 percent of voters again approved the levy.

This year, the district seeks $540,016, at a rate of no more than 28 cents per $1,000. To pass, Prop. 1 will need a 60 percent approval and a minimum voter turnout, with a minimum of 2,018 yes votes. Learn more at www.siviewpark.org.

Two visions for Valley hospital’s future

Board incumbent Dick Jones, challenger Dariel Norris weigh in on district’s challenges, hopes King County Public Hospital District No. 4 sees a second contested race this fall. Sitting commissioner for position 2,

Dick Jones of Carnation is challenged by Preston resident Dariel Norris. Election 2013

Snoqualmie Valley HospitalDick Jones1: As a life-long resident of the Snoqualmie Valley, I know this community and am invested in the health and wellbeing of the community. I want to give back to the community that has been so generous to me. I want to see the new hospital project through to fruition and to accomplish this goal that the hospital district started so many years ago. I have helped guide this district through the tough years and am excited and optimistic for the district’s future.2: The board of commissioners is the governing body of the hospital district. We set strategic priorities, hire and oversee the performance of the superintendent, and we are responsible for the district’s financial management. We are account-able to the public who elect us. As board president, I have worked with my colleagues and our staff to implement a range of initiatives to reduce the cost of health care and to ensure access to affordable care.With the advent of health care reform, we know that medicine and health care delivery is rapidly changing. We must adapt as well. 3: The biggest challenges facing the hospital district are the same issues facing health care organizations around the country.One, ensuring that our community has access to high quality, affordable health care.Two, navigating the uncertainties of health care reform.Three, implementing technological advances in all of our health delivery operations.4: I am committed to transparency and openness. All our board meetings are held in strict compliance with the Open Public Meetings Act. Any citizen can attend our board meetings, engage in public comment, and seek documents per-taining to financial management. Citizen input and access is important to the hospital district, which is why we embarked on a listening tour by holding public meetings, throughout each of the communities in the hospital district. This was really a good experience. We would like to explore ways to get more citizen involvement at our public meetings.I believe in a collegial, respectful relationship with my colleagues. Board members need to respect our individual dif-ferences but at the same time work to achieve our mission, which is to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our com-munity.5: I would like to see the hospital district expand to offer a full range of preventive care services, particularly cancer screening programs. We are in the process of building a replacement hospital that will open in the first quarter of 2015, allowing for expanded services... As board president, I have worked with my colleagues and our staff to implement a range of initiatives to reduce the cost of health care and to ensure access to affordable health care. The board commis-sioned a study of the health needs of the community as part of our responsibilities under the Affordable Care Act. We know the community needs and uses our primary care, speciality and women’s clinics. Now, we are offering health insur-ance enrollment to anyone at our North Bend office. I would like to see the district expand its programs in mental health, which is an area of tremendous need in King County.

DICK JONES

Dariel Norris1: I believe I have the experience and skills that show I can make a difference. The District is 40 years old and $40 million in debt, my debt courtesy of the

King County Hospital District No. 4 commissioners. There is a need for fiscal responsibility which can be improved with “due diligence” before making a decision. There is a need for transparency to involve the community so that a greater number of the 45,000 residents will use the services that will provide a future. Meeting the needs of a few is not enough to keep the district viable.2: In my opinion, it is the responsibility of the commissioners to follow the Public Hospital District Commissioner Guide: “The elected boards of commissioners oversee the general con-duct of the hospital district affairs, and that there be a person appointed to the statutory post of superintendent to provide reports to the commissioners on the status of district operations.... Commissioners are responsible for overseeing the hospital policies and organization with

respect to operation of the district including the delivery of quality patient care.” Commissioners are also responsible for overseeing and approving the budget process.3: The debt is a real issue, but if the district is viable, the debt can be resolved, which means serving the health care needs of district residents. Presently, the majority of rooms are the swing bed program, a great program but very specific. The hospital is only as good as the treatment it provides to as many people or patients as possible. The community has to believe the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital can and will meet their specific health care needs.4: Yes. First, change the board meeting time to 7 or 7:30 p.m., allowing residents a better opportunity to attend.Post meeting minutes on the web page next day, marked “unapproved,” then change when “approved,” so community knows what’s happening. Add committee minutes with the chairman’s name. Replace” Lunch and Learn” meetings with something else at a different time and possibly venue. These meetings are held mid day when most of the community is unavailable. Many topics or subject matter would be helpful to families with school-age children.5: My vision is to improve the future viability. If the hospital district reaches out to the younger families helping them with the health care needs that are more specific to them, the hospital district will have a following that will reach to the future. To do this I see visiting nurses engaging new moms, exercise classes, play groups or classes on substance abuse sponsored by the hospital district at public venues. However, if the district doesn’t engage the younger families, its main focus will continue to be the swing bed program looking more like a nursing home, which isn’t bad, but limiting.

DarIEl NOrrIS

The questions1: Why do you want to hold this office?2: In layman’s terms, what do you do on the hospital district board? And why is it important?3: What do you see as the hospital’s biggest current challenge?4: Is there a transparency issue with this district? How would you address it?5: What’s your vision for the hospital in the next decade?

“We can’t put ourselves out of service to go train,” said Krache. “For us to really dive into the training, we need help.”

For a real deep-drive into new skills, from attacking a high, burning building to saving a drowning man, volunteers or Fall City’s paid firefighters need time and resources. But eco-nomics are putting Fall City’s elective training, community service and the staff itself against the wall.

The district is pushing back with its first maintenance and operations levy, on the gen-eral election ballot for the 6,000 residents of District 27.

Proposition 1 would collect $450,000 a year, over three years, at a rate of about 50 cents per $1,000 in assessed property value. Funds will be used to maintain service levels and retain its 10 paid firefighters.

To pass, it needs a 60 percent “yes” vote and turnout of at least 733 people.

Falling revenuesIn 2010, the district saw its assessed values

decline by a fifth after neighborhoods in the Montaine and Aldarra areas to the east were annexed into Sammamish.

“That first year, we took a $120,000 hit,” said Eric Hollis, commissioner for Fire District 27’s position 2.

Between the loss of territory and falling values, the district experienced a 42 percent decline in the value of what it can levy since 2009. It expects a shortfall of $388,000 this year, with similar deficits over the next three years.

Call volumes have not changed due to the annexation because of mutual aid agreements, say firefighters. They still run calls in the area, as they’re often the closest unit. But fire tax dollars go to the city of Sammamish.

“Almost everyone we talk to supports the levy once they understand the dynamics of our situation,” said firefighter Patrick LeDoux. “We have always had good support from our community and I know that they appreciate the services we provide. We are hopeful that this levy passes, so we can continue the services that they expect.”

If things don’t change, the district is on track to lay off three firefighters, cut furlough days and training and put off equipment and vehicle replacement.

In July, District 27 commissioners voted to put a measure on the ballot for new revenues.

Lilly Hansen, commissioner for position 1, said there was a lot of discussion on what and how much to ask for, but the decision to

go to the polls was unanimous.Her decision was easy, “because it’s desper-

ately needed,” Hansen said. “There will be some drastic changes if it doesn’t pass.”

For firefighters, the loss of training equals a loss in safety.

When the district scales back education for wildland firefighting, high-angle roof and river rescues, the ability to respond could follow.

“If we can’t train on it, we can’t do it,” said firefighter Joe Springer. “It’s just not safe.”

To Hollis, this levy is about staffing to the basic level, being able to respond to the “life-saving events,” such as medical calls or car accidents, that happen about twice every day,

“We need to be able to hold the line,” he said.“There’s safety in numbers. If the levy fails,

we have to lay off 30 percent of our members,” said Krache. “That layoff is going to decrease the safety of our members as well as citizens.”

Fall prevention programs, CPR classes, school visits and other community service activities are on the block, too. Cuts would focus Fall City on the basics: Fire suppression and emergency medical response.

“A lot of the things we do around here are elective,” said Krache.

The district relies on a successful volunteer program that ensures citizen-responders at nights and on busy summer weekends. But volunteer training isn’t free, either.

“The requirements to be a firefighter and EMT,” or emergency medical technician, “the training, has gone up so much,” Krache tells me. “We bring in volunteers whenever we possibly can. But they have jobs. And it’s hard to get people to come down on their time off.”

River rescues don’t happen very often. But when they do, they’re risky.

If Fall City’s team isn’t trained to handle them, that means a wait of at least six minutes as they wait for a neighboring squad from Snoqualmie, Carnation or Duvall to arrive.

“We all want to be able to help people,” Krache said. “If we don’t have expert training, we’re putting ourselves at risk.”

New truckThe levy also pays to replace the station’s

1980 Pierce Lance fire engine, the oldest vehicle at the station. By the latest industry standards, firefighters say, the 23-year-old Lance is outmoded. The engine is still clean and shiny, but it doesn’t stop as fast or have all the capabilities of the other engines parked in Fall City’s bay.

“It’s been well taken care of,” said Springer. “We’re just not going to be able to use it any-more.”

Royalty for a dayHomecoming crowns are an unexpected honor for a dozen Mount Si students

By Seth truScottEditor

Prince and princess on Monday, David Butler and Sami Kieffer were king and queen by Friday, enjoying royal status for a single weekend.

The crowns came as a nice surprise for the pair, the 2013 Mount Si homecoming queen and king, who took the recogni-tion at halftime last Friday, Oct. 25, with smiles, then went to the next night’s dance as a royal couple.

“I don’t think we expected it,” Keiffer said of the recognition.Students at Mount Si all four years, they know their peers well. But like the rest of the Mount Si home-

coming royalty, they never asked for this. There is no campaigning for homecoming king, certainly not for Riley Dirks, a senior prince, who considered his royal duties to include mainly picture-taking.

“It’s good to know people think I’m a good guy,” he said. Dirks was spirited enough, with fellow senior royals Maile Young and Carly Goodspeed, to wear

pajamas to school, in his case a full onesie.Plenty of Mount Si students participated in spirit days, more than last year, said Dirks.“I never expected this to be how my senior year would go,” said Young. “This was pretty out of the

ordinary.”“This is our big night,” said Goodspeed. “We’re kind of outliers, a little bit.”

Remember those yearsAt halftime of the homecoming game, royals drove onto the field in golf carts for a moment

in the spotlight. Senior princess Angelina Belcito shared her ride with an 8-year-old boy, Walker McFadden, who was placeholding for his older, football-playing brother.

Walker had his feet up on the dash. He was not quite sure what to make of the older, gown-clad, crowned girl next to him, but “he’s warming up to me,” said Belcito.

King Butler is in charge of the homecoming activities this year. He was behind the ‘Great Gasby’ themed dance.

“I had seen the movie, we read the book as juniors,” he said. “It had the whole party vibe.”Butler’s favorite teacher is Miss Roberts, and his top classes are math, physics and chemistry.“My key thing is study, first,” said Butler. “Definitely into the academic side.”Keiffer’s favorite class is anatomy, which leads into her ambition to be a nurse.She is on the Mount Si tennis team, and is the Associated Student Body’s chairwoman of community relations.King and queen shared their secrets of high school success.“Work hard, but you’ve got to have fun, too,” said Butler. “It’s a balance of both things.”“Remember those years,

because those are the best,” adds Keiffer.

The pumpkin people

Snoqualmie residents Jerri and Julie Johnson grow giants with love

story and Photos by seth truscott

To Jerri Johnson, growing a pumpkin is a spiritual affair. He takes the same from-the-heart approach to all of the growing things in the garden that he and wife Julie tend every year. Maybe that’s why his pumpkins are so big.

Both Johnsons work as house painters at their busi-ness, Falls Painting. At home, though, they’re both avid gardeners. Jerri started all of this with a carrot plant, then, as his green thumb matured, turned to corn, then a three-foot-wide garden patch. When Julie decided, several years ago, that she wanted a fish pond on their patch of ground, downhill from Snoqualmie Casino, he decided he got to have something new, too. So they planted a pumpkin patch.

Jerri’s biggest pumpkin has a 40-foot vine that feeds a single, enormous fruit.

Zombies, hobbits and fairies—Youth walk for Girl Scouts is Sat.Join the Where Cows Meet Clams team for a zombie-hobbit-fairy event, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at Girl Scout Camp River Ranch near Carnation.

Big, wet troubleWhat to expect when floods threaten the Snoqualmie Valley

By Seth truScottEditor

Years of enduring flooding, and rebuilding, are etched in Snoqualmie’s downtown neigh-borhood.

Residents who’ve been here more than a few years can point to the lines on the wall that mark high water. Locals anticipate the areas that flood first. And the city firefighters have the warning system down to a science.

“We know floods,” says Snoqualmie Fire Chief Bob Rowe. “That’s one thing Snoqualmie is known for.”

So when the river monitoring stations uphill say that the river is rising enough for flood-ing, firefighters go into action. The city sends out reverse-911 calls, messaging residents in areas that will get wet. Later, firefighters will go door to door, asking people to flee. If they don’t go, they can get trapped.

In Snoqualmie, typically the worst-hit Valley city, it starts with Pickering Court, down-town. Then, neighborhoods by the river, at Meadowbrook, and near Kimball Creek start to flood. A big one can swamp most of the downtown area.

Emergency officials’ major concern, every time, is safety. So when the word to evacuate comes, Rowe asks that locals take heed.

Many lowland residents have already raised their homes.“That’ll protect the house,” said Rowe. “If they decide to stay in their house, they might

be dry, and no problems. But what if they have a medical emergency? Or the power goes out and they start getting cold? I have to put my rescuers in harm’s way,” sending the city’s swiftwater team through cold, treacherous hazards to save someone who should have heeded the warning.

The winter of 2013-14 is expected to be another neutral year in the El Niño/La Niña weather cycle. Neutral years can sometimes bring major weather events and floods.

In the Valley, the 2006 neutral winter brought a windstorm that knocked out power in the Valley for a week or more, followed by the second worst flood on record. The 1990 flood, considered the worst ever, was also a neutral year.

“We can get a good snowpack and have a ‘Pineapple Express,’” a burst of warm weather that melts all that snow, said Rowe. “That’s what caused the severe flooding in 1990.”

Snoqualmie isn’t the only Valley city that floods.Low-lying areas of North Bend can and do get inundated. In the 2009 flood, inches of

water covered the grounds of the Mount Si Senior Center, downtown.Medium floods can wash over the lowland golf courses at Fall City, and a big one can

cover Highway 202 between Snoqualmie Falls and the Fall City roundabout.Residential flooding is rare in the vicinity of Carnation. But when a major flood hits, it

can isolate the city. The roads that cross the Valley, including Highway 203 south and north

of the city, go under. But the town itself rarely floods.Putting the Valley back together, responders usually start by restoring power.“The communities usually try to get schools back in session as quickly as possible,” said

Rowe. That brings a sense of normalcy. “Then, (we) get the business back up and running so people can get their supplies and then clean up.”

Rowe is hosting a meeting with partner agencies, including EFR, the Snoqualmie Valley School District, Snoqualmie Valley Hospital and local public works staff, on October 30

The idea is to put a community-wide plan in place, and establish contacts. “We may be isolated,” Rowe said. “We need to work together to make sure our communi-

ties’ needs are being met.One particular concern this year is how residents outside the cities can get around safely

in snowstorms, due to cuts by the county roads division.

Thinking aheadJosie Williams, a former Fall City resident and spokeswoman for Eastside Fire and

Rescue, went nine days without power in the 2006 storm.

Citizen emergency team readies for response

Lower Valley disaster preparedness exercises happen, rain or shineThe rain and wind didn’t stop disaster preparations

in Tolt-MacDonald Park in Carnation.During the morning of Sept. 28, the radio call came

in—“Injuries at the park”—setting in motion the Carnation-Duvall Citizen Corps response exercise.

The exercise integrated Community Emergency Response Teams, Carnation-Duvall Medical Reserve Corps, and Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club, with King County Duvall Fire District 45, Eastside Fire & Rescue, Snoqualmie Valley Hospital and Valley General Hospital. Evaluators from the King County Office of Emergency Management said, “Good job.” Yes, there were some procedures with rough edges, but they will be smoother next time. Exercises help identify needed improvements.

Carnation-Duvall Community Emergency Response Team—CERT, volunteers exercised their skills in light search and rescue, triage, disaster medi-cal response and disaster psychology in as close to the real thing as could be simulated. Volunteers were moulaged—made up to look like they had suffered injuries. Eastside Fire & Rescue helped CERT practice cribbing, a technique of building a fulcrum and then lifting and stabilizing a heavy object, to free a trapped person.

Carnation-Duvall Medical Reserve Corps—CDMRC volunteers accepted patients, performed a second triage, and provided treatment in a simulated Field Treatment Center. There are five Citizen Corps Field Treatment Centers in the community.

Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club—SnoVARC volunteers coordinated radio communi-

cations between CERT and CDMRC at the disaster site with the Emergency Operations Center in Duvall FD45 headquarters. Other hams at the operations center radioed local hospitals to expect the injured. In response, Snoqualmie Valley Hospital exercised its patient surge plan.

A video of the exercise is available on YouTube at http://youtu.be/pHGs6hf3RZY, courtesy of Ric Eittreim, Far North Productions.

An exercise is being planned for next summer. If you are a CERT, a member of CDMRC or a SnoVARC ham, or want to become one, answer the call. Sign up with Citizen Corps. Make contact by sending e-mail to [email protected] or calling (425) 844-9470.

Carnation-Duvall Citizen Corps Council brings all these programs together for commu-nity safety. Check out Citizen Corps on the Web at www.carnationduvallcitizencorps.org. You will also find links to CERT, CDMRC and SnoVARC.

Prepare yourself and your home. Go to www.ready.gov for tips on what to set aside for that ‘dark and stormy morning’; it might last a few days or more. Start now. Make a plan; make a kit; be informed. Be prepared. And join Citizen Corps.

“Every day, we had to get gas for the generator,” she recalls.

When a disaster happens, it’s often too late to stock up. When Williams went to the supermarket during the 2006 outage, she noticed that essentials like candles were often sold out.

“You’re competing with everybody else during these times,” she says. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by planning and shopping early. It’s important to store extra water, food, flashlights and other essentials well ahead of time.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the scale of a disaster, and the need to react. Some thinking ahead of time is well worth it.

“Think about what you’re going to need on a camp-ing trip,” Williams advises. “These are the kinds of things you have to fall back on.”

“The biggest issue is the attitude that ‘it won’t happen to me,’” Rowe said. “People say it only happens in faraway places. It doesn’t happen to

my family.” But the reality is that disasters do happen here.

Planning, getting a kit ready, gathering supplies are vital to being ready for the possible.

“Plan to let each other know you’re safe and where you’re at,” Rowe said.

A warm coat, a good set of shoes and a list of medication is a good starting point. After 2012’s multiple-day power-outage, EFR stresses the need to be careful about carbon monoxide. If people are using kerosene heaters or stoves, they need to ensure they are used in well-ventilated areas.

EFR is concerned that peo-ple who keep extra gasoline may end up inadvertently cre-ating fire dangers.

The same warning goes for families who rely on candles during outages. If you need to leave the room, put out the candle; don’t leave it burning unattended, as that could lead to a fire.

Both the cities of North Bend and Snoqualmie broad-cast travel restrictions on the local emergency radio chan-nel, AM 1650.

“Voted Best Handyman 2013”

Emergency prep in four weekly stepsBy Patricia Hase and setH truscott

Valley Record Staff

Pondering how to prepare for a disaster can often be overwhelming. So, a good way to tackle emergency preparedness is to break down the various steps into weekly assignments that families can easy tackle over a month or so.Here are easy ways to get your family ready for a disaster, in four steps, based on information from FEMA and the American Red Cross.

Week one assignment: Establish ICE contacts in cell phoneICE means “in case of emergency.” Most cell phones have a feature that allows for ICE numbers to show up without the lock code. Go to “emergency call,” and an icon will show up that lead to your ICE contacts.We recommend two ICE contacts. The first one would be in-state for anything that is not a disaster situ-ation (i.e., a medical emergency) and an out-of-state contact for disasters or when communications are down in-state. In most cases, you can still make calls out of state. The out-of-state contact should be someone who knows all your family members, and where your family members can call to get updates on your situation; this means you can update all your family members with one phone call.

Week two assignment: Emergency routesKnow three different routes that lead from work to home. Each emergency route needs to be labeled A, B or C, with maps in your car and at home. If there is an emergency and you need to leave your car, just leave a message that states you are taking route A, B or C for responders, and when notifying your out-of-state contact you just give the label. Your family will know what route you’re taking, since you planed ahead.

Week three assignment: Role playWe live at a time when we no longer prepare for the big one, but the triple threat. The best way to know what to do is to make an activity that is fun and allows for discussion. What do you and your family do if you’re at work, the kids are at school and mom is at home, if there is a snow storm, no power and the river is flood-ing? Do the kids walk home? Do you and your neighbors have an assigned person to pick up all the kids from elementary, and another neighbor to pick up from the high school? Make this a block party, and have games. Emergencies are easier on kids and adults when they know what do and have already practiced.

Tips to stay healthy this winter

from Snoqualmie docThere are two things we can

count on in the winter – cold weather and stuffy or runny noses. Winter is prime time for spreading diseases since more people are staying indoors and spreading germs to others.

The common cold and influ-enza are prevalent in the winter months. Fortunately, there are things you can do to avoid get-ting sick.

How can you tell if you have a cold or the flu?

Both the common cold and the flu are caused by viruses that

infect your airways. Most people have experienced the common cold in their lifetime. Symptoms include runny or stuffy nose, itchy or sore throat, cough, congestion, slight body aches or mild headache, sneezing, watery eyes, mild fatigue and low-grade fever.

“Most cases of the cold don’t need medical attention,” Dr. Alan Johnson, Family Practice Physician for Snoqualmie Ridge Medical Clinic, said. “However, if symptoms won’t go away or worsen, it may be time to see your doctor for further treat-ment.”

Unlike a regular cold, the flu comes on suddenly over a few hours. Symptoms include fever, sore throat, dry cough, head-ache, dizziness and general body aches.

“If you develop flu-like symptoms, there are prescrip-tion antiviral drugs, such as Tamiflu, that can make your illness milder and shorten the time you are sick,” Johnson said. “See your doc-tor right away if you

think you may have the flu because it is treatable for the first few days only. If you wait, it can take up to three weeks to recover.”

What can you do to prevent a cold and the flu?

Using good health habits can help prevent the cold and flu. It’s important to wash your hands frequently and cover your cough and sneezes. The best way to prevent the flu is to be vaccinated each year.

If you suspect you have the flu, stay home when you’re sick to prevent spreading it to others.

Flu vaccines are provided at Snoqualmie Ridge Medical Clinic at 35020 SE Kinsey St., Snoqualmie. No appointment is needed. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Call 425-396-7682 to make an appointment with Dr. Johnson or one of our other five providers, including a pediatri-cian.

Cold and flu season arrives Flood essentials

Understand risks, plan ahead to avoid a devastating flood loss

With forecasters predicting a hard winter, homeowners should con-sider flood insurance coverage in the event of a disaster. But insur-ance alone isn’t enough. Proper planning is also vital to avoid major headaches, extra eaxpense or tragic losses during flood.Agents with Valley-based Hauglie Insurance advise residents to make a flood plan, which includes making sure family members know how to get out of the house and neighborhood, where to meet up and how to contact each other.Flood planning also includes readying the home for a disaster. A good exit plan will ensure that contents are protected and valuables removed or stored out of harm’s way.Vital medications, for example, needs to be accounted for early on. If medicine needs to stay refrigerated, have a cooler handy, because floods often mean power loss.Antiques are covered, but only at functional value. That means that your grandmother’s antique table may winds up being replaced by just another new table. Homeowners should ensure that valued antiques are safely high and dry or on the truck out of a flood zone in a disaster.Homeowners also need to ensure that invoices, receipts and flood claim documentation are kept in a waterproof bag and, if possible, in a fireproof safe. Documentation is needed to prove to FEMA that repairs were completed.Time-stamped photos are also a good way to document before-and-after realities.“Photos are the least expensive and most valuable thing you can do in protecting your home and contents before a fire or flood,” says Farmer’s Insurance agent Angela Donaldson. After a disaster, “not only are you emotionally stressed, but now you have to remember where everything was and what it looked like—and you have to articulate that an adjustor.” All that stress can be saved by having photos on hand.

Preferred riskHomeowners who live outside a flood zone can still face floods from accidents and human error as well as natural events. Insurance com-panies offer preferred risk flood insurance to provide an extra level of protection.Early fall is the time to buy a flood policy. Flood insurance has a

30 day waiting period, and Valley storms and floods have been known to hit before Thanksgiving.While the annual premium must be paid up front, agencies typically offers several payment options, including a credit card choice, to fit buyers’ budgets.Homeowners should also have their residence properly sur-veyed, as they need to know their elevation for proper flood coverage.Separate outbuildings need separate flood coverage. If a homeowner has built a free-standing office, garage or guest house on their property, discon-nected from the main roofline, that building may need its own policy.Wind and water can take their toll on fences, which are covered by flood insurance. Fence repair or replacement is handled on a cash value basis.

We've been keeping the Valley comfortable longer than we like to admit!

In most cases, heating and air conditioning your home is the highest percentage of a homeowner's monthly utility costs.

Think of this as unliveable space in your home robbing your conditioned air, making your HVAC system work harder and fail sooner, causing hot ot cold rooms, allowing dust and allergens to enter your duct system (bypassing � lters), and ultimately raising your utility expenses unnecessarily.

Prepare for flooding: What you can do now• Keep all flood claim-related receipts in a waterproof bag and away from risky areas• Take photos of your home and business as it is now• Look into alternative storage options, such as raising or moving important items• Develop an evacuation plan with your fam-ily, employees and for your pets

• Have a list of important phone numbers and sandbag locations• Teach everyone how and when to shut off gas, electricity and water lines• Keep household chemicals above flood levels to avoid contamination• Review your flood insurance declaration page.

After the flood: Surviving your claim• Make sure your home is safe to enter• Take photos, inside and out• File your flood claim with your agent. Ask if

you can begin clean-up immediately.•Separate undamaged from damaged items• Keep an inventory of all damaged items, age and value, regardless of whether they are covered• Keep samples of carpets and flooring removed from each room• Keep estimates from contractors to show your adjustor, and provide receipts from prior claims• Keep receipts for everything• Sign the proof of loss within 60 days of the date of loss. Supplemental claims can address discrepancies.

INSURANCE FROM 16Prepare your car to conquer the coldMake sure your vehicle is ready for colder temperatures. The following are tips to ensure safe, trouble-free travel in the winter months:Replace your everyday tires with winter tires – If you can see your breath, it’s time to switch. Even though there isn’t snow on the ground yet, tem-peratures lower than 45 degrees cause your everyday tires to stiffen and lose traction, but the latest generations of winter tires remain flexible in freezing temperatures, improving traction and available grip.Don’t forget the filters – oil, fuel, transmission and air filters are impor-tant to keep your engine running well. Check your owner’s manual to see how often they should be changed.Check your tire pressure monthly – for every 10 degrees the temperature drops, your tires can lose about 1 pound per square inch (PSI) of pressure. Monitor your tire pressure more closely during the winter time.

Snoqualmie Indian Tribe hires new general managerThe Snoqualmie Indian Tribe on Friday, Oct. 18, announced Jerry Lamb as the Tribe’s new General Manager.Lamb was hired in October 2012 as the economic development director and was later appointed as the interim tribal administrator in 2013. He is an enrolled member of the Gros Ventre Tribe in Montana and has earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business administration from the University of Montana. Lamb’s extensive experience in Indian country includes various leader-ship positions in tribal government and tribal business entities. In addi-tion, he also held a staff position under former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer, working on policy and economic development projects with tribes in Montana and serving as an advisor on Native American issues. “It has been a privilege to serve as the interim tribal administrator over the course of the last five months and very much an honor to be selected as the new general manager. I look forward to continuing to work with the Snoqualmie Tribal Council, the administration staff, and the tribal membership as we continue to improve tribal businesses and member-ship services,” Lamb said in a statement. Chairwoman Carolyn Lubenau said, “Jerry’s experience, background and heritage make him uniquely qualified to take on the position of general manager of the tribe. The Tribal Council looks forward to working with Jerry in his new capacity as we continue to move our tribe toward a brighter future.” The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe is a federally recognized tribe in the Puget Sound region. Known as the People of the Moon, Snoqualmie Tribal members were signatories of the Treaty of Point Elliott with the Washington territory in 1855.

Hard hitters

Mount Si football’s linemen reap the rewards of a team approach

By Seth truScottEditor

On the field, Deven Lalgee and Jon Proctor are a pair of predators. The quarterback is their prey, and their hunt lasts only a few seconds when two opposing sets of linebackers collide.

If the opposing quarterback sees Proctor coming and reacts, chances are that Lalgee is waiting behind him. Or vice versa. Other times, the Wildcat line and tackles flush the prey toward the two defensive line-men, and “We reap the rewards,” said Lalgee.

Proctor and Lalgee’s efforts last Friday, Oct. 25, against the Mercer Island offense put them two away from the team record for a night and one away apiece from the individual record for sacks. They’re averaging at least one sack per game.

Mercer had a decent line, the boys said, but their prominent passing game made for multiple opportunities for Proctor, a senior defensive lineman, and Lalgee, a junior, to do their thing.

The Mount Si offensive and defensive lines were hard for Mercer Island to handle last week. The Wildcats dominated at homecoming, with a 45-7 win over the Islanders on Friday, Oct. 25.

The score siren sounded from the get-go, as senior quarterback Nick Mitchell ran one touchdown in at the sixth minute. Mitchell threw for two, one to senior running back Bailey Takacs, another to senior wide receiver Trevor Daniels. Takacs added another

in the second quarter, and senior running back Jordan Chapman and junior backup QB/defensive back Jonathon “JoJo” Hillel both scored in the second half.

Mount Si’s line is growing into its role nicely, said head coach Charlie Kinnune.

The group includes play-ers that play both offensive and defensive roles. Bradly

Christensen is a returning all-league lineman. Chris Schlicting brings experience from playoffs last year. Senior Cameron Davis grows in experience every week. Jack Nordby holds the right flank. And, at center, first-year starter David Bluher is earning respect.

Bluher is breaking the mindset that you have to be huge to hold a spot on the line. Often outweighed by his opposite player, he holds his own.

“We’re working as a unit now,” said Bluher. “Cohesively, we’re coming together. It helps to be on the same page. Even if someone is wrong, we can be right as a team.”

Former pro Howard Mudd helps teach Mount Si offense This year, Mount Si’s offensive line benefits from decades of professional football

experience in the person of Howard Mudd.A retired NFL player and longtime coach, Mudd has been working alongside the

team since July.After “you’ve done something for a long time, know a lot about it, there’s a need to

give back,” Mudd said. “That’s what I’m doing. I give them some of my knowledge.”Mudd, 71, built a home in North Bend six years ago to be near his son, Darren,

and family, who live in Snoqualmie.“I was looking for a place where I could look at mountains,” said Mudd.His football resumé goes back 50 years. He attended Midland High School,

where he went to state with the football team, earning all-state honors. After a stint at Michigan State, he wound up playing football at Hillsdale College in Michigan, where he was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame.

After college, he played for the San Francisco 49ers for seven years, then the Chicago Bears for six years, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl three times with Chicago. After a knee injury, he retired from play and began coaching at the University of California, then soon moved to the National Football League, coaching for the San Diego Chargers, the 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, the Cleveland Browns, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts, and most recently, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Football is football, at any levelThis connection began when head coach Charlie Kinnune bumped into Mudd at

an Issaquah butcher shop, then a year later at the North Bend Starbucks, both times urging the ex-49er and longtime NFL coach to start a relationship with the Wildcats.

“He’s been a mentor for us,” said Mount Si offensive line coach Jerry Maher. Mudd, he said, teaches players about football and life.

“You coach football because you have to,” said Maher. Love for the game, he said, means you’re driven to give your all. “That’s one of the greatest things I’ve learned from him.”

“It’s great working with Howard,” said lineman Jack Nordby. “His brain is an ency-clopedia of football knowledge. Every day is enlightening.”

Working with Maher, fellow offense coach Jeremy Cromer and the boys, Mudd talked about schematics and fundamentals.

“They wanted to learn as much as they could. The kids responded great,” he said. “I just got a tremendous amount out of it.

For Mudd, it’s not about the age or size of the player, but the task at hand and the skill to be learned. “The guy that’s playing, he gets better, because he needs to block somebody who might be better than he is,” he says. “That’s what coaching is about.

“Whether you play on Sunday or Friday night, football is football,” he says.

Wings of gold for North Bend alum Garrett MorckThe North Bend family of Lt. JG Garrett Morck, a 2007 Mount Si High School graduate,

joined him in a ceremony in September at Norfolk, Va., where he received his wings.His parents, Richard and Vicki, surprised him with a gift of 14-carat gold wings, pinning

them on his uniform.Morck attended college and took part in the Reserve Officer Training Corps at the

University of Colorado at Boulder, then attended flight school for two years. He graduated in 2011 with a degree in psychology and was commissioned at the same time as an ensign. He then was accepted into flight school, spending a year in Pensacola and the second year in Norfolk.

Last November he went through two weeks of S.ER.E. training in northern Maine which put him through intensive training in resistance to interrogation and survival skills, required of all officers who may face capture if shot down behind enemy lines.

This past year, he has been training in simulators and in the air on the E-2, as a member of training squadron Greyhawks at Norfolk Naval Air Station. He has been assigned to his next squadron, the Sun Kings, at Point Magu, Calif., naval air station for the next three years, beginning this winter, and will see his first deployment on the carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson next summer.

He deadheads randomly—mowing the lawn around the vines will do the job—and hand-pollinates, of a sort. Jerri takes the male flowers containing pollen, picks them, refrigerates them overnight, then places them next to female pumpkin flowers for bees to find.

Their Snoqualmie patch has been a neigh-borhood attraction on Southeast 88th Street.

“We like pumpkins because they bring so much happiness,” says Julie. Families in the neighborhood walk by, “watching as it grows and grows.”

This year, for the first time, they host-ed a home garden seminar and visitors in

October, opening their patch to U-pickers.Also to be found were pinto and scarlet

runner beans growing in profusion, and Jerri’s 10-foot-tall ‘Mammoth’ sunflowers.

Jerri and Julie try to keep their bees and plants safe from chemicals and pesticides.

“I can only compost what I grow,” he says.He doesn’t spray chemicals, because he

doesn’t want to kill his bees, who live in a hive by the house.

The big secret to growth is the soil, says Jerri—or rather, the manure provided by the couple’s two goats.

Tragically, their favorite white goat, Simon, was taken by a bear two weeks ago, shock-ing Jerri and Julie. They’re now concerned for their neighborhood, and gave away their remaining goat, Alvin. Jerri will rebuild the fences, and is thinking mini-donkeys next.
