Fall City residents rally to clean up their stretch of the Snoqualmie with help from rafters–and artists

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

On a warm sunny day, you might think about taking a trip to the river, and you’d have plenty of company. On that same warm day, while you’re floating gently down the Snoqualmie, Del and Nancy Moore might be making two or three trips to the river. That’s what it takes, some weekends, to keep the put-in and take-out areas free of litter, to both welcome and set an example for the next group of rafters to visit Fall City.

“Nobody else is doing it,” says Del, a longtime Fall City res-ident and member of the Fall City Community Association.

School bond gets bumped

Snoqualmie Valley school board reconsiders date,

purpose of next measureBy Carol ladwig

Staff Reporter

No bond, either for a replace-ment middle school or a high school remodel, will be coming to voters this February.

The board of the Snoqualmie Valley School District agreed on Thursday, Aug. 30, that they didn’t have enough time to properly plan and campaign for a bond in time for the February election.

Board president Dan Popp noted that the board hadn’t dis-cussed the issue for several weeks, and had achieved no resolution on the purpose of the bond at their last work session. Board members had debated both a new middle school—deemed unnecessary by opponents of the freshman-campus concept, and a remodeled high school—deemed imprac-tical, disruptive and expensive by supporters of the campus concept.

Calling it “near-ly impossible to achieve, and have that kind of dialog with the community,” board mem-ber Scott Hodgins agreed that the board could not pursue a February bond issue. “I want to pass a bond issue, though, for sure,” he added.

A replacement middle school bond was one of Hodgins’ conditions last February to support the decision to proceed with the annexation of Snoqualmie Middle School.

Snoqualmie officers emphasize safety in speed patrol on Parkway

By Seth truScottEditor

The car crests the hill doing nearly 50 miles an hour. By the time the driver notices Nigel Draveling, seated atop the bed of his black Snoqualmie Police truck, separated from him by a line of stop-and-go commuter traffic, it’s too late to avoid a ticket.

“I lock them first,” said Draveling, who lowers his laser radar gun and radios the car’s make and license to a trio of other officers in wait down the hill. Moments later, an officer makes contact, ready with a speeding ticket for the 30-mph zone.

The late summer morning commute was livelier than normal on Snoqualmie Parkway due to Officer Draveling’s pres-ence. Snoqualmie police had received several complaints about speeders and aggressive driving on the highway end of the parkway, so the officers set up the first of several speed patrols near the interchange to discourage bad behavior behind the wheel.

That means Draveling and company were ready to hand out $247 speeding tickets to flagrant speeders. All in all, four officer handed out six tickets, one warning and a criminal citation in two hours’ work.

Other speed patrols have followed as the summer ends and children go back to school. Those patrols will impress on drivers the need to respect school zones, pay attention

to surroundings and most importantly, slow down.

When you drive slower, you see more: “Your eyes will open to everything,” Draveling said.

Drivers headed into Snoqualmie also get some attention. Draveling parks on the shoulder of the Parkway, pointing north, and activates his rear-facing radar. The device monitors a stream of drivers doing 40-plus uphill.

A passing white car doing 47 miles per hour gets his attention. He pulls the car over, checks the license, and discovers that the driver’s license has been suspended by the state for unpaid tickets. The woman’s mouth drops open as Draveling explains that she’ll have to call a relative to drive her car, and that a citation is coming in the mail.

Draveling and fellow officers also hear excuses from drivers for their speeds, some believable, others less so; an alleged rush for the bathroom appear to be fairly common. But with one warning issued for six tickets, the officers don’t seem to be easily put off.

Draveling said patrols like these make for a safer community. Speed limits are set for a reason. Speed causes accidents, and speeding drivers can’t react to changing conditions.

As officers work the Parkway this summer and fall, both days and nights, drivers will notice and change their behavior for a while. Ultimately, officers need to keep making the rounds to keep drivers vigilant.

“You keep circling your hotspots,” Draveling said. To get the message across, “You have to be out in the public.”

Pulling over a car, Draveling angles his

vehicle to protect him in case a driver fails to notice the stop.

When you see a police car flashing lights on the roadside, “slow down and change lanes so we can get home to our families, too,” Draveling said.

Hospital plans

Community has grown, and so has need for health care

I am writing in response to “Tell us why we need a hospital,” published on August 22. For residents in our community who haven’t visited Snoqualmie Valley Hospital recently, we are an entirely different and better organization than we were several years ago.

Just like the Snoqualmie Valley has changed and grown in the past decade, we have grown too. In fact, patient volumes have increased dra-matically during the past few years to the point we are bursting at the seams.

Our mission is to “promote the health and well-being of people in our community by providing quality care in a collaborative envi-ronment.” We do this every day by providing round-the-clock hospital care, a fully function-al, 24-hour emergency department staffed by physicians, an on-site pharmacy, lab, imaging, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services and endoscopy services. We also have four local clinics that provide a broad range of primary and specialty care services including pediatrics and women’s health.

We work closely with all of our regional hos-pital partners, including Swedish of Issaquah, to provide the full range of health care to our residents. The Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, in cooperation with our regional partners, serves different needs, different communities and pro-vides distinct services to our respective patients.

We invite you to take a tour of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital or visit our clinics to see for yourself the high level of service we provide to our community. We are proud to be here for you and to serve all of your health care needs.

Food Bank’s Summer Cupboard continues to feed children, with your help

Hunger is a year-round concern, yet summer presents an even greater challenge to families with school-age children, normally the recipi-ents of free breakfasts and lunches throughout the school year.

In 2011, Mount Si Food Bank started the Summer Cupboard program in an effort to address this nutritional gap. During the weeks of summer, families with school age children received additional breakfast, lunch and snack items along with their regular groceries.

This year, we extended an invitation to our community to support Summer Cupboard. We want to thank the following contributors for their outstanding efforts in making it a success: Snoqualmie Elementary School, Kidz Bounce, Snoqualmie Falls Brewery, Mount Si Lutheran Church and Genie Industries.

Collectively, we raised nearly $5,000 and col-lected over 200 pounds of kid-friendly food. It is with this community support that we are able to provide nutritious food that is crucial for healthy child development, growth and learning.

If you are interested in learning more about Summer Cupboard or supporting the Mount Si Food Bank please visit our website at mtsifood-bank.org or contact us at (425) 888-0096.

Del was correct when he said that, but things have changed. Nobody aside from the FCCA had been doing much about the trash that some care-less floaters left behind after their days of recreation, until a couple of weeks ago when an online conversation on the Fall City Community group brought out the best in the community’s residents.

Since then, FCCA has received another $400 in unsolicited donations to build additional trash bins for the most popular river access points, Fall City Arts has enlisted volunteers for its Sept. 22 river clean-up and treasure-hunt event, and one Boy Scout troop has announced plans

to do an end-of-season float down the river to pick up litter, as well.

“I was shocked,” Del says, of the response from the com-munity.

He had posted a message to the community group around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 7, to update readers on the FCCA’s ongoing efforts to keep the river areas clean—mainly the trash bins which the Moores kept tidy, replacing bags as they were filled and picking up the parking lots—and to gen-tly remind the group that most of the floaters were courteous, and grateful for the clean-up work. He noted that the FCCA planned to apply for a county grant to build more trash bins for next summer and, half-joking, asked if there were any “angels” in the group

who might want to help. Then he logged off, and

embarked on a busy day of errands. The online group members got busy, too, pledg-ing their own money and challenging others to do the same. By the time Del got home that evening, the group had pledged more than $400, enough for six new trash bins and to reimburse Del for the one he built at his own expense, along with some vol-unteer help to build them.

“I got home and Nancy told me ‘You’ve got to get online!’” Del said, laughing.

The next day, Del and Nancy, who is the recording secretary for the FCCA, met with a group of the volunteers and contributors, including Kirk Harris of the Fall City Parks Commission, Cindy Spiry,

the director of the Natural Resources Department for the Snoqualmie Tribe, and ‘trash angel’ volunteer Nancy Myhre, to illustrate how the bins are built, and how they help.

Most rafters, the Moores said, are responsible, and clean up after themselves, especially now that they have a convenient way to do it.

“We have actually gone out of our way to talk face to face with people on the bank, and we have seen that most people are very coop-erative,” Del said.

“They’ll often thank us for what we’re doing, here and along the road,” said Nancy. Also, she said, “The people that use it aren’t just the float-ers. A lot of local families come here, too.” Not, how-ever, the Moores.

“He doesn’t want to go in

a tube,” says Nancy, just as Del is saying “I’m campaigning for a new boat!”

Regardless of their vehicle, river users had no convenient places to dispose of the wrap-pers for their new rafts and tubes on the way in, nor their empty beverage containers on the way out, and litter was scat-tered along the river before the FCCA got involved.

Fall City is unincorporated, with no formal government to address this type of prob-lem. Three summers ago, the FCCA decided to tackle the issues of “trash, sanitation, parking and traffic, and an overlooked police presence,” Del said.

Next year, they were going to get bigger, applying for a grant to fund new trash bins. That, of course, was already taken care of by the commu-nity—“which means now we can apply for a grant for some-thing else!” says Del.

“Parking is a problem, and they do walk into the street,” she said, sighing.

Del thought “Pack it in, pack it out” signs might be helpful.

Two new bins have been built already, so each site the FCCA manages has at least one trash container avail-able, with more to come. The Moores are still taking responsibility for keeping the sites cleaned up and have perfected their technique: Del ties off the full bags of trash and puts empty bags into the cans, while Nancy makes the rounds of the parking lot to pick up stray garbage.

The FCCA meets the sec-ond Friday of each month; learn more at www.fallcity.org.

Fish Festival aims to aid

river discoveryAt first, the art pumpkins

seem like a bit of a reach. They are lovely, hand-made color-ful glass globes, and just the look of them makes you want to hold one in your hands, but what’s the connection to the Snoqualmie River Fish Festival?

It’s obvious. “Do you

r e m e m b e r how, during floods, you s o m e t i m e s see a bunch of pumpkins floating down the river?” asks Sharlet Driggs, co-president of Fall City Arts and co-chair of the Fish Festival. “These were inspired by that.”

Driggs is explaining the pumpkins to a room full of volunteers who are eager to help with Fall City’s first-ever river clean-up/treasure hunt. Some are there as part of the sponsoring orga-nization, Fall City Arts, but most are there, in one way or another, for the fish.

“Sunfish live in the Snoqualmie River,” announc-es artist Cynthia Gerdes. She takes from her bag about a half-dozen palm-sized wooden sunfish, painted and decorated with sequins and hammered bottle caps. These sunnies will be among the treasures avail-

able for anyone to find Sept. 22, during the fish festival.

Next are the salmon. Event co-chair Marci Sanders holds up a plywood salmon cutout, and talks about the project of recruiting volunteers to paint and decorate them.

“I think you can just get as creative as you want,” Sanders told the group.

Some of the salmon will be raffled off during the festival as a fundraiser, while others will

join the sun-fish as hidden treasures to be discovered. Along with the fish, there will be roughly 100 pieces of sp e c i f i c a l ly commissioned professional art objects scat-tered along the riverbank for the festival.

D r i g g s , credited as the brainchild of this event, explained that

it was modeled after successful clean-up events on the Oregon coast. There, volunteers were given trash bags and invited to scour the beaches for not only litter but also for glass floats made by local artists. The floats, they kept, but the trash was tossed.

With a $5,000 grant from 4Culture, Fall City Arts was able to negotiate with about 10 artists, for 10 pieces, and “they have all provided their artwork at a reduced rate,” Driggs said.

Snoqualmie Tribe wood carvers are also sponsors.

Participants will rediscover the river, which has been liter-ally trashed by hundreds of visitors each summer. “We’re trying to get people to come down there, and see that it’s actually a really beautiful place,” Driggs said.

“Voted Best Handyman 2012”

425-888-2311

Snoqualmie author releases romance novel

“Dear Miklos” is the name of Snoqualmie resident Victoria Bastedo’s newly published romance novel.

Published by Black Lyon, an independent Oregon house for fiction in trade paperbacks and e-books, “Dear Miklos” was released on August 1. The novel tells the story of Therese, who at 10 years old would have drowned had it not been for Miklos, the handsome Greek boy who dove from his boat to save her. Now grown, with years of letter writing between them, she needs him again. Recovering from an ill-ness, Therese is advised to leave the Pacific Northwest rain behind and return to the Grecian sun, sea—and Miklos.

Bastedo is an active member of a local writing group, is married and has a large family. She tells writers to find oth-ers to share their dreams and enrich them.

Tourism programs can seek Snoq. lodging tax

The Snoqualmie Lodging Tax Advisory Committee has opened the application pro-cess to request lodging tax funds for tourism-related programs to be provided dur-ing 2013.

Local organizations that accommodate activities for tourists and positively impact tourism in the upper Snoqualmie Valley are eligible to apply.

Guidelines and applications are posted on the city web-site at www.cityofsnoqualmie.org; click Government | Commissions & Boards | Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.

Applications are due no later than September 19 at 5 p.m.

Following the application process, recommendations for funding will be made by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee with the final deci-sion made by the Snoqualmie City Council.

The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is pleased to have the opportunity to provide funding for projects that benefit economic develop-ment and the growth of local organizations. This program is funded through the city of Snoqualmie’s share of the sales tax collected by the state on lodging rentals in Snoqualmie.

StoneFest 2012 comes to Preston

From September 10 to 14 at the Marenakos Rock Center in Preston, stone lovers will come together for the eighth annual StoneFest in the Pacific Northwest.

The four-day event will fea-ture hands-on learning proj-ects, presentations, demonstra-tions, and talks about stone masonry.

This year’s StoneFest focuses on building with stone, using mortar and dry stack methods; cultural and architectural carv-ing; traditional lettering; mortar myth and mythology; and tools of the trade

Instructors will provide information about work in masonry, working with mor-tar, sculpture and architectural carving, lettering on stone, traditional Japanese gardening with stone, and additional pro-grams and presentations.

No experience is necessary, StoneFest is open to anyone interested in working with stone. Although layered clothes and tools should be on the checklist, the most important thing to bring is “a big spirit and lots of ambition!”

To register or learn more, visit www.stonefest.org.7.

At the Feb. 8 board meeting, Hodgins requested the board table a vote on the annexa-tion until the bond issue was resolved.

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

Although board members unanimously voted in favor of the bond then, the annexa-tion vote was 3 to 2. Hodgins, Dan Popp and Marci Busby voted in favor; Geoff Doy and Carolyn Simpson voted against.

At the August meeting, board members agreed to discuss the possibility of an April bond in their next work session, tenta-tively scheduled for Sept. 15.

BOND FROM 1 Snoqualmie resident Bob Brunjes attends GOP convention

Snoqualmie resident Bob Brunjes attended the 2012 National Republican Convention in Tampa, Fla.

Brunjes joined 2,286 delegates and 2,125 alternate delegates from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories, Aug. 27 to 30, as they nominated the GOP contender for president of the United States at the 40th Republican National Convention

Brunjes, a long-time Republican and chairman of the 5th Legislative District, attended a number of meet-

ings and events in addition to casting his vote for the Republican presidential nominee. Brunjes is pledged to vote for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

He is also on the National Credentials committee with the rest of the delegation, including former state senator Dino Rossi of Sammamish and grassroots worker John Henessy, also from Sammamish.

Curtis starts write-in campaign for U.S. Representative

Dave Reichert, former King County Sheriff, is running for his fifth term as the Eighth District U.S. congressman.

Reichert, a Republican from Auburn, faces Democrat Karen Porterfield of Issaquah in the Nov. 7 general election.

North Bend resident and martial arts teacher Jim Curtis recently hung posters around town, as a write-in candidate for Reichert’s U.S. Rep, District 8, seat.

In an e-mail, Curtis said he differs from Reichert on issues such as extending legislation to help Gold Star families and support for the Affordable Care Act. “I am a Marine Corps combat veteran who was wounded in action over in Vietnam and also a very strong advocate for our military troops as well as all military veterans,” Curtis stated. “I know I would be a much stronger voice for all of these true American heroes than Reichert has been during his time in office.”

Curtis has not officially filed. According to the Washington Secretary of State’, votes for any write-in candidate are not tallied unless the sum of all write-in, blank and over-voted responses have the potential of changing the outcome of the election.

Sandy Horvath photography workshop offers ‘basics’

Seasoned photographer Sandy Horvath will help students master their digital cameras. In each three-hour session, Horvath covers the lenses, settings and exposures that transform snapshots into high-quality pictures.

Beginners work with their own digital cameras, in small classes, to apply the principles behind framing, focusing and lighting. Horvath will also demonstrate how to opti-mize shots on automatic settings or with a manually-set aperture value. Students are then sent out to shoot a list of assigned photos.

Workshops will be held at SnapShot Sandy’s office studio in North Bend, or at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery.

Cost is $59 for a three-hour workshop. Visit www.snap-shotsandy.com for details.

...obituariesCatherine Jane Evans RandlemanWell known resident of Snoqualmie Valley passed at her

home on Friday August 24, 2012 in her 93rd year. She was born in Weiser, Idaho on April 23, 1919. Her mother and father were Mabel and Evan Evans. She moved to Snoqualmie Valley in 1950.

She will be buried at Sunset Hills Memorial in Bellevue next to her husband Curtis who proceeded her in death in 1984. Catherine had two sisters both deceased, Olwyn Mary Evans Merrill and Jesse Ruth Evans. She is survived by sons Blake and Mark Randleman their spouses, seven grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

Love in all capacities encompassed Catherine’s life. So much love given without expectation, brought her much love in return. Catherine slowed the pace of the world with her simple loving compassion for the lord and her people.

She celebrated life on a daily, peaceful existence and thought it not necessary to celebrate her life with any memorial service.

Masters-level player, Fall City’s Linda Lasure, finds joy in game after 30 years

By Seth truScottEditor

When young Linda Lasure was 7, she asked her dad if she could learn to milk the cow. Her dad was doubtful.

“He said, ‘Oh, you probably won’t be able to milk the cow when you’re 27,’” she said. “I sat there and milked away. He liked that fine.”

Her dad, Lasure said, never put too many expectations on her, simply because she was female. But that simply wasn’t going to do for her.

“I’ve just been doing this all along,” Lasure said. “I’m not gonna sit around.”

Fast forward to today, and Lasure still hasn’t slowed down. The 16-year Fall City resi-dent, who holds a doc-torate in genetics and runs an alpaca farm, is part of an over-65 wom-en’s competitive soccer

team. Lasure and the rest of the Baby Boomers won their championship this year, and Lasure continues to play the game, loving it even after 32 years on the pitch.

Beautiful gameMade up of women age 65 and older from

the Seattle area, the Boomers won the first ever women’s Over 65 Division of the Masters Futbol Soccer Tournament in Bellingham last July. In the final game, the Baby Boomers beat a California team, Be Still Standing, by a score of 6 to 0.

The Boomers meet and play a few times a

year; they’re all members of over-50 teams that have regular seasons. Lasure is part of the Fab 50, mostly Eastside residents.

She also plays in an over-55 club of sorts that numbers just enough players for two teams. Players draw cards from a deck, red or black, to determine which team they’re on.

The random draw can make for some sur-prises. Sometimes, there aren’t enough forwards, for example, to go around. The players have to improvise.

Fall City’s Linda Lasure is a member of a winning women’s soccer team, the Baby Boomers, a group of women age 65 and older from the greater Seattle area. On July 14, the Baby Boomers won the first-ever women’s Over 65 Division of the Masters Futbol Soccer Tournament in Bellingham, Wash. Lasure is the second player from the left in the front row. The team was organized by player manager Maj Surowieckia, 70, of Issaquah, seen in the first row at far right.

“It’s difficult to get completely lost in something, so that everything is suspended. But in a soccer game, that’s what hap-pens.”

Lasure, who holds a doctor-ate in genetics, plays alongside grandmothers, homemakers, teachers, bankers and business-women.

She’s bonded to the sport because of its team dynamic. To her, soccer deserves its appella-tion of “The Beautiful Game.”

“There is something about it that’s difficult to describe,” she said. Part of it is the fact that game scores, at any age, are always so close. It’s rare at any level for a game to be a blowout. And there are few superstar egos in this team affair.

“You have to bring the ball down and share the ball,” Lasure said.

“To keep playing on a team, as you get older, you have to find ways to use people’s strengths,” Lasure said. “Young or old, you still have the distribution of skill levels and abilities—how far you can kick, how well you play defense, how competitive you are.”

Changing timesLasure has had opportuni-

ties that her parents’ genera-tion never had. And she faced obstacles that today’s girl soccer players probably can’t imagine.

“I grew up in Oklahoma, and there were no sports for women. None,” Lasure said. “I didn’t play any sports in high school.”

Her first sports experience came in college, on club basket-ball and softball teams.

Lasure started playing soc-cer at 33.

At the time, she worked for Miles Laboratories in Elkhart, Ind. There weren’t many sports available for women at the time, but some people in nearby South Bend, Ind., put together some women’s teams. Lasure joined them, and her lifetime love of soccer found its start.

“I’ve always been a person who exercises,” Lasure said.

She makes sure she gets plenty of aerobic exercise in the days before a game, and does strengthening exercises for her knees. She still walks

and runs. One duty that keeps her in shape is the physical work of caring for 14 alpacas at Lasure’s farm, Big Rock Candy Mountain.

On the pitchAt games, Lasure laces on

her cleats and shinguards, dons her purple jersey, and hits the field, sometimes for two full 45-minute halves. She plays soccer twice each week.

“If we’re lucky, we’ll have a sub,” she says. But a breather, thanks to a substitute player, isn’t always a given.

“People have busy lives,” Lasure explained.

There’s no coach, but orga-nizing players may make strat-egy suggestions. Most team-mates are deeply experienced. They know where they need to be.

The games are refereed by professionals, often younger men, who are sometimes taken aback by their charges.

“We have really young guys that get really giggly some-times, because they’ve got all these gray-haired ladies mak-ing jokes,” Lasure said. The best refs, she said, get in and participate in the event of an injury.

“We’re very grateful to these young guys,” Lasure said. “We make sure we thank them.”

When an opponent isn’t too challenging, play slows down, to avoid a blowout. But when things get competitive, and they do, Lasure and her team-mates really move.

“There’s always some young ones coming in, trying to take the ball away—there’s some young ones that get really mad because they can’t get around

these old ladies.”On the pitch, Lasure is a

poacher as a forward. She has a good right foot, and snags rebounds or loose balls near the net. She contributed two goals in the championship finale with Be Still Standing this summer.

Despite their gray hairs, players’ tempers can get just as hot as younger players’.

“I’ve never seen a red card given, but I have personally been confronted with players that get so mad, the referee said, ‘You have to stop it,’” she said.

In today’s game, “You’re on forgiving surfaces,” Lasure added. Most of the regional playfields that the Boomers and Lasure’s over-50 team practice and play on are artificial turf. That’s a far cry from the hard, dusty real turf fields she started on here two decades ago.

“In the last 15 years, the fields around here have been improved. They’re all pretty magnificent,” Lasure said.

Asked whether she feels that what she does is inspiring, Lasure thinks for a moment. Other people could do what she does, she answers, if they wanted to.

“There are people on my team who keep playing because they like the game,” she said. “It’s a way of getting exercise (by) doing something, rather than going to the gym and rid-ing a cycle.”

Soccer remains a highlight of her week, even after three-plus decades of play.

“It’s difficult to get complete-ly focused and lost in some-thing, so that everything else is suspended,” Lasure said. “But in a soccer game, that’s what happens.”
