Man’s best friend is a lost hiker’s, too Dedicated local search dogs are ready to assist at a moment’s notice BY CHRISTINA CORRALES-TOY ccorrales-toy@snovalleystar.com

Superman’s cape is red, Batman’s is black, but Artoo, a local mutt with heroic tendencies of his own, goes with a faded orange vest that has seen better days.

Issaquah resident Joan Hitchner slips the well-worn garment over her 3-year-old dog’s neck, pulling it down and straightening it out over his torso. The side of the vest should say Search Dog, but the S is long gone, a testament to wear and tear over the years. Hitchner commiserates with

Artoo, a herding dog mix, for a moment, before he jets across a small, grassy alley in downtown North Bend. He finds something in a box under a tarp and returns to tell Hitchner. The duo then rushes to the scene where they successfully free a volunteer hidden in the enclosed space. What follows is a boisterous chorus of compliments for Artoo on a job well done. “At that point, it’s all play,

play, play, and a big party, because it’s all a big game for the dogs,” Hitchner explained. This was only a demonstration, but the real game is a serious one for King County Search Dogs, an all-volunteer group that helps find missing people. Whether it’s a lost hiker or a person that simply walked away from his or her neighborhood, the SEE DOG, PAGE 9

Jazz returns to heat up North Bend firehouse BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com

Picture in your mind a jazz club. For many people it will conjure up images of a smoky, dimly lit bar in an urban corner of Harlem. Most people would likely not picture that

jazz club in a small town surrounded by mountains and forests. That is, however, the reality of North Bends’s JazzClubsNW location. Inside an old firehouse that’s been converted into wine cellar, Danny Kolke took

a seat in front of his grand piano and began tapping away at the keys, joined by bass and drums. The room, now filled with the beat of drums, steady thumping of the upright bass and wandering melody of the piano, transformed from a garage

with tables and seats into a jazz club that rivals whatever you pictured in your mind. Jazz is about the music Kolke founded JazzClubsNW as a nonprofit SEE JAZZ, PAGE 5

Fire Districts 10 and 38 will consider a resolution again asking voters to combine both agencies into one fire authority on the November ballot. Voters narrowly turned down the proposal during April’s special election. District officials say the merger would protect emergency service levels longterm for the areas they serve. Fire District 10 will meet to consider the resolution at 4 p.m. July 20 at 175 Newport Way NW in Issaquah. Fire District 38 has scheduled its meeting for 4 p.m. July 25 at Fire Station 87, 500 Maloney Grove Road, in North Bend. Under the measure, taxpayers in District 10 would pay less for fire service. However, District 38 would see an average increase of 20 cents per $1,000 on an assessed property. Currently, District 10 serves Carnation and the unincorporated areas of May Valley, Tiger Mountain, Mirrormont and Preston. District 38 serves Snoqualmie and North Bend.

Police blotter Casing houses or chasing Pokemon? At 10:31 p.m. July 10, a resident on Silent Creek Avenue Southeast reported spotting a vehicle driving around the neighborhood, occupied by four or

five individuals, who appeared to be casing houses. The reporting person also saw flashlights in the back and a gate open after it was closed. An officer located the individuals at a community park. Their parents were driving some kids around so they could play Pokemon Go.

Correction

In the July 15 story “Snoqualmie City Council eyes lifting levy lid to hire new officers, firefighter” the next step in the levy-lid lift process was incorrectly identified. The next step is to have Snoqualmie residents volunteer to serve on one of two committees to prepare written statements for inclusion in the King County Voters’ Pamphlet, advocating either approval or rejection of the levy lid lift measure.

Fire control At 8:41 p.m. July 14, a resident on Southeast Newton Street reported some residents of a nearby apartment complex were having a large bon fire and was concerned due to high winds. A responding officer found a fire that was not very big, but spoke with the people at the fire who promised to keep it under control.

RIVERWALK PLANS UNVEILED

From Page 1

Designs by The Berger Partnership

The City of Snoqualmie will present designs and receive public input on the first phase of designs for the Snoqualmie Riverwalk on July 26 at City Hall, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The project may be a 3-mile loop walk that extends to the falls and connects to multiple city parks, Associate Planner Nicole Sanders said.

Taylor Mitchell, a 2011 Mount Si High School graduate, was named July 12 to the Hampshire Honor Society by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. Mitchell, is a senior linebacker at Humboldt State University in California, is among 882 players selected to the society.

Mitchell is the first Hampshire Honor Society honoree in Humboldt State history. He was chosen for the All-Great Northwest Athletic Conference second team and played a big role on defense as the Lumberjacks won the GNAC championship and advanced to the second round of the Division II playoffs. Mitchell registered 68 tackles, 33 solo, along with 8 ½ tackles for

loss and three sacks in his final season. He compiled a 3.90 GPA as a business administration major and was a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which is considered the academic equivalent of the Heisman Trophy and is given to the college football player with the best combination of academics, community service and on-field performance.

Police officer with troubled past placed on paid leave BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com

Snoqualmie Police Officer Nick Hogan has been taken off unpaid leave and placed on paid administrative leave after a federal judge ruled that Hogan could have his gun back for police duty. Police Chief Jim Schaffer had previously removed Hogan from paid leave and ordered him to report for duty, a

job he couldn’t do without a gun. Hogan would have been terminated after his accrued vacation time expired for failing to report for duty. U.S. Magistrate Judge Brian Tsuchida originally ruled Hogan could not possess a firearm because he was under federal indictment. He reversed that decision July 8 after finding an exception in the law for police officers.

Mayor Matt Larson said Hogan has not returned to duty and will remain on paid leave for an unknown period of time.

revenue is unstable for the fire districts due to annexations by neighboring cities and changing property values. The fire authority would be funded with a traditional fire levy and a benefit charge. A benefit charge replaces some of the taxes paid by property owners with an annual charge based on the size of a structure and its risk for fire. Smaller structures (such as single-family homes) are charged less than larger buildings because it costs less to defend them in a fire. A benefit charge is voter-approved and adjusted annually up or down to meet the demand for service. In the next month, the fire districts will offer a benefit charge calculator on their websites, which are hosted online at eastsidefire-rescue.org.

Letter to the Editor Magendanz only talks tough on education Political issues are difficult. It’s rare to find politicians who haven’t made someone unhappy. Chad Magendanz makes me unhappy. I’m a product of great public schools and I’ve been a public school teacher for 20 years. His votes are tearing us apart. Magendanz spouts his well-chosen data shooting down concerns such as class size and funding for schools. But his political campaign is so stinking smart because he makes it look like he’s all about kids. Our neighborhoods and schools are bursting at the seams with kids. So his campaign and being on the Education Committee make it look like he supports our schools. He doesn’t. He’s a professional politician and he’s playing the politician’s game. He’s constantly bashing my union, the WEA. Without my

OPINION

union, I can’t imagine where I’d be. In the 1960s, a perfectly healthy pregnant woman (my mom) had to quit teaching because of pregnancy. Fifty-plus years later, times have changed. WEA is the voice of the teacher when they are saturated during the school year and can’t advocate for themselves and their students. His dismissive and condescending attitude toward the WEA is an insult to the strong men and women who have committed careers to raising educated citizens to build healthy communities. If he cares about kids, he needs to start supporting their teachers! Mark Mullet communicates respectfully to his constituents and he votes for legislation that builds up our communities. We need his integrity, his willingness to listen and his leadership in Olympia. Anne Melgaard North Bend

New generation enjoying jazz music BY STUART MILLER

smiller@snovalleystar.com

I

n addition to some great live jazz, I saw something last Sunday in North Bend that I don’t see often. I saw high school students watching a jazz show together. Right near adults — adults that they weren’t with. Who knew that younger folks, with their electronic music and saggy pants, could be into such things as watching live jazz? What happened to the generation gap I grew up with? Apparently this has been a common thing around JazzClubsNW venues for a while now,

but it is new to me. I rarely see the mixing of older and younger Stuart Miller people with a significant age gap in social settings like that. There were a few senior citizens, and two tables away some teenagers. Both were bobbing their heads and tapping their toes to the beat. And what’s more, two of the teens later got on stage during the open-mic portion of the evening. One played piano as the other sang some decently sophisti-

cated tunes. I was very impressed. My experience with live music is usually different than that. Usually I’m completely engulfed by people in my age group — 20s or 30s — or I’m surrounded by people twice my age or more. I have not noticed a lot of crossover, especially not high school students, and especially not in smaller towns. Jazz seems to be the music that brings out all ages of people rather than polarizing different age groups. This was something I was not really aware of before Sunday. I mean, I knew of high school jazz bands and such, but to see three teens

paying close attention to the jazz performers — that was new. And they couldn’t even order drinks from the bar. I think it is a testament to local schools and outreach by JazzClubsNW that young people are showing up for and participating in live jazz in North Bend. It was nice to see such a wide range of ages represented, all grooving to the same music. It is something I hope to see more of, and expect to, when I visit Piccola Cellars again for some live jazz..

dedicated to supporting live jazz performances and educational opportunities. In 2009, he and his wife opened Boxley’s, a jazz club in downtown North Bend, and with it the Boxley Music Fund. That original nonprofit grew into a regional organization supporting jazz in Tacoma, Bellingham and North Bend. “I bought a piano and put it in a restaurant,” Kolke said of Boxley’s founding. The restaurant was essentially an avenue for Kolke to play music and host other bands, he said. Kolke works at Microsoft and started the Boxley Music Fund as more of a hobby. “Some people have boats or play golf,” Kolke said. “I have a jazz club.” Boxley’s closed in April, but the jazz hasn’t stopped in North Bend. Piccola Cellars, a few blocks from the old Boxley’s location, has become the town’s JazzClubsNWsupported venue. It’s been hosting JazzClubsNW shows since June, but on July 17 the group moved into its permanent space behind the barroom. “Running a jazz club in a small town is crazy,” Kolke said

matter-of-factly. While large cities like New York that have jazz tourism can support a ticket/album model of generating revenue, “you’re not going to get that in North Bend, Bellingham, smaller communities.” JazzClubsNW’s model is a community-based nonprofit. Hundreds of members pay a monthly membership fee. It also hosts jazz and blues walks in North Bend and other cities. The nonprofit even helped run a beer garden at the North Bend Block Party to raise funds. The revenue is used to support live jazz performances at JazzClubsNW-supported venues and provide educa-

tional opportunities to young musicians. Jazz, in particular, lends itself to a community-based model. Radio station KPLUFM, a longtime regional jazz and blues station, recently raised over $7 million from 24,000 donations in fourand-a-half months in order to become an independent, community-owned radio station. “It’s more about the art form and less about the other stuff,” Kolke said about jazz. “Most people are not under the impression it will be a wealthy pursuit. Playing the music is about playing the music.” The community participation is literal during Sunday

Teaching the art of jazz Piccola Cellars regularly hosts students for on-stage performances. JazzClubsNW also supports various programs for students, such as small ensemble workshop programs and combo classes, clinics and teaching forums with professional artists, scholarship programs to help support private lessons, and recording opportunities. “Part of my job is being a teacher,” Kolke said. “I like working with kids.” Some of the most valuable lessons are taught when friendships develop between young and old musicians, Kolke said. Several local high school students watched the Danny Kolke Trio perform on July 17. They, as well as some older patrons, took the stage later in the evening themselves to sing jazz songs, accompanied by the band. Students are heavily involved in many performances at Piccola Cellars. Three shows this week alone at Piccola Cellars feature students in a main role.

Jazz bands people together Jazz not only fosters community in places like North Bend, but has also had a huge impact on the U.S. and beyond. The music was one of the first major factors in integrating different races in America. “Before Jackie Robinson, there was jazz,” Kolke said. Kolke’s heroes growing up were black musicians, he said. He’s heard stories of when jazz legend Duke Ellington came to play in Seattle. The artist was forced to use a separate entrance than the white audience who had come to see him perform. Kolke thinks much of the racial strife going on today could be eased through playing music. “Everyone just needs to play music together,” Kolke said. “Creating something beautiful together has a healing property to it.” JazzClubsNW grew from a small one-venue music fund to supporting venues in three different cities. It hosts multiple large festivals in North Bend and other communities and reaches thousands of people. Though Boxley’s is closed, the nonprofit that grew from it has survived and is doing well, Kolke said. “It’s surreal to sit back and think, ‘Wait, I started this?’” Kolke said of JazzClubsNW. “I was just in it for the music.”

asphalt or cement, stay mindful of your dog’s paw pads, as they’re more fragile on warmer surfaces. Be sure to bring along extra water, especially for those never-ending ball chasers! When at home, consider your pet’s housing. If she’s in the yard, make sure she has shade and fresh water access at all times. It’s a good idea to hose down your dog before work, at lunch or whenever you can to provide extra cooling. Better yet, keep them comfortable inside your home, at your office or at a doggie daycare. Remember that if your buddy has a shorter nose, like a Persian cat, a Pug or a Bulldog, he or she is more susceptible to heatstroke than breeds with longer noses.

A car accident on eastbound Interstate 90 near Exit 25 left three people injured, one seriously, shortly before 6 p.m. July 18. Two of the cars involved caught fire as state Department of Transportation crews closed all eastbound lanes at 6:09 p.m., WSDOT official Marquise Allen said. An off-duty Seattle police officer may have helped one of the collision victims out of their car, Washington State Patrol officer Chris Webb said. All lanes were reopened at 7:35 p.m.

Believe it or not, warmer weather is on the way and we want to help you keep your pets safe as the temperatures soar. It’s tempting to bring your furry friend along for the ride, but you should never leave your pet in the car unattended in warm weather. Even in the Northwest, the interior of a car can hit 160 degrees in less than five minutes, and parking in the shade with the windows cracked can still be dangerous.

104-110°F n Excessive panting n Dark or bright red tongue and gums n Staggering or stupor n Seizures n Bloody diarrhea n Vomiting If you suspect heat stroke in your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately! Use cool water, not ice water, to cool your pet. Very cold water will cause constriction of the blood vessels and impede cooling. Just because your animal appears cooled, do NOT assume everything is fine. Internal organs such as the liver, kidneys and brain are definitely affected by the body temperature elevation, and blood tests and veterinary examinations are needed to assess this.

dogs and their handlers put in hundreds of training hours each year so they’re prepared when it comes time to save a life. The search The group’s most recent success story came in June, when the search dogs helped locate a father and son from Germany who were stuck in cliffs west of Snoqualmie Pass. The call came at 4 a.m. and the group gathered at the Mason Lake Trailhead at about 6 a.m., said Josh Gerstman, King County Search Dogs’ public information officer. They entered the field at about 6:30 a.m. and searched trails and nearby lakes. “At about 10 a.m. the dogs had some interest in a certain area and that’s when we were able to establish voice contact with the missing hikers, and then we brought other teams in to help them climb out of this real steep area,” Gerstman said. The search dogs are often called out to find hikers lost on the state’s vast trail network, but they also respond to reports of people missing closer to home. “A lot of the people that we search for are people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who just walk away from neighborhoods,” Gerstman said.

FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2016 Some dogs are also trained to search from boats and in avalanche conditions. King County Search Dogs specialize in two main types of search activities: airscent and trailing. Trailing dogs follow the route a specific person has taken in urban, rural and wilderness settings by discriminating the unique smell of the search subject from other people. Airscent dogs, such as Artoo, look for any human in a wilderness or park environment. Handlers must take into account environmental factors such as weather and terrain to put their dogs in the best position to track the scent, Hitchner said. “We as the handlers, we try to be the brains of the operation,” she said. “We have to go, ‘OK, I have this area, the wind’s blowing across at this way, there’s this kind of terrain that might impact how the scent is moving through the area,’ and so we need to position our dog in the optimum place so we can work back and forth through the area where they can pick up the scent.” In 2015, King County Search Dogs had 34 missions, 25 unique responders, and 1,059 mission hours. The group will well surpass those marks in 2016, with 28 search missions, 23 unique responders and a total

of 1,302.5 total mission hours as of July 10. Training Those search skills require hours upon hours of training. In 2015, Hitchner and Artoo logged more than 400 training hours. The group meets weekly to train at area parks and trailheads. The handlers take turns hiding out in the wilderness for hours as the dogs come looking for them. “It’s actually wonderful,” Hitchner said of hiding. “I work all week long and to be able to just get assigned to go out in the woods and to just sit there, maybe with a tarp, and just look up at the sky. It’s a wonderful downtime.” “There’s a certain technique to being a

good hider for a dog,” Gerstman added. “Not only do you have to hide well, and know how to react when the dog finds you, but when the dog comes back with its handler and gets its reward, you want to be a really excited subject. “A guy like me has to learn to be like ‘Yay, good dog, good dog,’ because we need to keep the dogs excited. This is all a big game for them.” Once the volunteer is well-hidden, the offleash dog goes on the search. After the dog finds the person, the canine rushes back to the handler to notify him or her. Artoo does this by pulling on a tennis ball strapped to Hitchner’s belt. Then the dog leads the handler to

Joining the search dogs It’s not easy to join the King County Search Dogs. The group’s turnover is low, so they only accept new members about every two years. Dogs need to be fit and have a lot of drive, Hitchner said. Sporting and herding breeds work best. The group has a number of German shepherds and Labrador retrievers. “They can’t be a dog that just wants to be a couch potato,” she said. The handler has to have certain qualities, too, Gerstman said. “Is their life organized in a way that they can dedicate hundreds of volunteer hours to this? Do they have the time to drop everything and

respond to a mission?” Gerstman asked. “We also want to see that they are proficient at using a map and a compass and being able to navigate their way through the forest.” It typically takes more than a year for a dog and its handler to be fully trained to participate in the active missions team. But all of that is worth it when you see the relieved face of a family member reunited with a lost loved one, Hitchner said. “This was a perfect blend of where I could be doing something with my dog, getting exercise and seeing interesting places while doing something that was helping my community,” she said. The most important thing the public can do to help the King County Search Dogs is stay safe, Hitchner said. Whenever you go outside to enjoy the region’s wilderness, let someone know where you’re going and when you will return. Have a plan for where you’re going and be prepared. It’s always better to hike with friends and stay together. If there’s a problem, stay put. It’s easier to find people if they stay in one place. “A lot of times, when we’re called out, the situation was preventable,” Hitchner said.

All of the training pays off when they get the call, sometimes in the middle of the night, to assist in a real situation. “The heart rate and the adrenaline is definitely pumping at that point,” Hitchner said. “Your mind is going a mile a minute when you get that call.”

“Today, we didn’t have our best all-around effort,” Jesse said. “We had some fielding issues and I will say (Falls) came out and absolutely hit the ball better than I’ve seen them do before. “Sometimes in baseball, it just goes a certain way. Sometimes the Rays come out and beat the Yankees and I think today, they just had the better day … We play that team 10 times, I think we win four or five.” Jack Peterson hustled down the line for an infield hit, giving Eastlake a run in the bottom of the first, but the Sammamish squad didn’t score again until the game was all but decided. Andrew Edson’s RBI single made it 4-1 after two innings. Falls then erupted for a five-run third, keyed by Blake Miller’s RBI double, Aidan Dougherty’s tworun single and Smith’s

To understand the oodles of talent Eastside FC’s 98 Red girls team puts on the soccer pitch, look no further than its list of college commitments. There are some big names on the list. Minnesota. Texas. Stanford. Washington. Fourteen of the 18 players, all them headed into

their senior year, have orally committed to play at the next level, including 11 at NCAA Division I schools. The team is full of high-caliber recruits, so it’s not surprising to learn that the Prestonbased squad – which includes five players from Issaquah, Mount Si and Skyline high schools – rarely loses.

record is 34 wins, seven ties and two losses. They’ve been winning consistently for several years, too. In 2013, the group captured the under-14 title at the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships. They finished third at nationals in 2014 and are threetime defending state champions. Winning isn’t something they brag about because it has almost become second nature. “It’s a very hardworking group of kids that enjoys themselves and they’re a team in every function of the word,” head coach Tom Bialek said. “They’re talented, without question, but I think that the difference is that they really like each other and so they compete for each other.” The girls of 98 Red are headed back to next week’s national championships in Frisco, Texas, with the goal of bringing home another crown in the under-17 division. “I think it’s the determination we all have,” said defender Cameron Tingey, a Skyline senior. “Since we’re all so close, we all push each other over training … so we really try to be the best we can be individually and as a group.”

FRIDAY, JULY 22, 2016 Time has solidified the group into something special. “Since we’ve been together for, like, nine years, we know how each other play,” said forward Alexa Kirton of Skyline. “We can read each other without even saying any words.” The roster has stuck together since winning the U14 title three years ago. Only four new girls – Olivia van der Jagt (Kentridge), Hannah Taylor (Meadowdale), Megan Floyd (Seattle Prep) and Rilee Castilla (Kamiakin) – have joined in that time span. The rest are mainstays, including star scorer Joanna “Jojo” Harber of Bellevue, who is committed to Stanford, Issaquah defender Kaylene Pang (Washington) and Mount Si defender Natalie Weidenbach (Texas). Weidenbach has been a jack-of-all-trades for Mount Si coach Darren Brown, playing nearly every position except goalkeeper. Bialek tries to maximize her strengths as a right back in his 4-3-3 formation. Weidenbach considers herself a natural defend-

her high-school team. She accomplished the feat with Issaquah last fall. “She’s just kind of the bedrock back there,” Bialek said. “If everything else goes to pieces, (opponents) still have to get around her and she bails us out when we really need it.” Kirton, a New Mexico recruit, has proven to be a valuable player up front because of her size and strength. In the regional title game, no one had scored until she entered the fray in the final 15 minutes. “I was out on the bench for quite a while because I have a hip injury,” she said. “I just sprinted around and did as much as I could, and I ended up getting a goal and an assist.” When Eastside opens the national tournament July 25 against California’s Beach FC, the players figure to use their skills and savvy to their advantage once more. “I think we all know how to step up to the plate when we need to,” Weidenbach said, “and so I think I can expect that from my teammates at

er and has flourished in her latest role. “Usually, they’re able to utilize me through just getting me up and down the width of the field,” she said. “I’m able to give us some crosses in, get in line if they ever need me to distribute the ball.” Tingey has slotted in at left back for Eastside FC, though she has played other positions for Skyline coach Don Braman. She has orally committed to Utah. “In big moments, she has always been able to raise her game when she needs to,” Bialek said. Another Skyline product, Molly Monroe, is the team’s goalkeeper. Due to Eastside’s defensive prowess, she doesn’t always have much work to do, but Monroe impressed Bialek during a 2-0 win over Celtic Storm 99 Premier of Utah in last month’s regional title match. “She made a couple of saves when the game was 0-0, that if she didn’t make those saves, maybe we don’t win that game,” the coach said. Then there’s Pang, the only player on the roster to win a state title with
