Candidates outline key stances at forum BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com

and state House candidates Paul Graves and Darcy Burner at TPC Snoqualmie for a forum in which the candidates discussed business, development, taxes, education, transportation and more. All four candidates sat at a table together facing a few dozen audience members while

answering the moderator’s questions in timed responses. Though it was mostly friendly and informative, there were some tense moments when the candidates called out one another and defended themselves from criticism. SEE FORUM, PAGE 5

Record-breaking crowd takes in the blues BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com Jimi Hendrix once said, “The blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.” If that’s true, anyone who witnessed downtown North Bend and the Blues Walk on Saturday night could have

been fooled. Approximately 1,600 blues fans flooded the downtown area from 6 p.m. to midnight to watch 27 different acts play the blues — much of which did not look easy to play. “It was a record-breaking crowd,” said Gregory Malcolm, executive director of JazzClubsNW, which hosted

the event. “We’re really excited about the turnout. We’ve grown every year.” Twenty-one venues around downtown hosted the performers out of the kindness of their hearts, Malcolm said. The venues ranged in size and style, from the North Bend Theatre to Chang Thai to the

Pro Ski and Mountain Service shop. On one block of North Bend Way, if a band and crowd could fit into the building, they probably did. “People realize that they can have a very varied experience,” Malcolm said. “In SEE BLUES, PAGE 2

Despite a strong economy, King County Executive Dow Constantine on Monday said his proposed biennium budget would have to cut $22 million in spending, with the reductions falling hardest on the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and the Sheriff’s Office. The executive said the state cap of 1 percent on property-tax revenue growth each year has produced chronic budget shortfalls for counties across the state. The cuts won’t affect the county’s 911 emergency response, he said. But since criminal-justice programs make up 73 percent of the county’s budget, these programs are disproportionately impacted, Constantine said in his annual budget address. The Metropolitan King County Council will take up the budget proposal next month.

North Bend Theatre at one point in evening, it was such a festive atmosphere in the air, people were literally dancing in the aisles.” Smaller venues like Georgia’s Bakery and Compass hosted solo and duet acts, Malcolm said. A healthy audience in the Pro Ski shop — one of the more unlikely venues — tapped their toes to a guitar/harmonica duet that included singer Kevin Andrew Sutton. “There’s not a blues walk anywhere (in the region),” Malcolm said. “There are festivals, but not like the North Bend Blues Walk. It’s a unique experience as far as festivals.” The small footprint, easy accessibility and affordable ticket price factor in to the Blues Walk’s success, Malcom said.

Hiker remains still unidentified one year after discovery Human skeletal remains found on Mount Si June 2015 have gone unidentified for over a year. The King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit is again asking the public’s help to identify the skeletal remains, which were found with some personal effects, including a wallet with no identification. Evidence suggests that the remains may be from the mid-1990s. The Medical Examiner’s Office believes the skeleton is from a Caucasian male, 30-60 years old,

who was likely 5-foot-7 to 6 feet tall. They have not determined the cause of death yet. A pair of tortoise shell glasses, a Swiss army watch, REI keychain, and an Ortovox backcountry shovel were found with the remains. A green Jansport backpack, and a pair of white Nike high-top tennis shoes size 12, were also located. A black leather wallet was also found with the remains. The remains were found off-trail near the haystack on Mount Si.

Anyone who has information about the identity of the man or circumstances is urged to call King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311, or send tips to mcutips@ kingcounty.gov.

Volunteers blanket Project Linus STUART MILLER | smiller@snovalleystar.com

Volunteers gathered at the Sallal Grange in North Bend on Sept. 26 to help make fleece blankets for Project Linus, a national charity organization that donates new blankets to hospitals and first responders. Volunteers cut sheets of fleece to size and snip fringes around the edges. Kids in traumatic situations, mostly at hospitals, will receive the comforting blankets. The requirements are that the fabric is brand new, and the blankets are handmade with love, said Leah Aichele, a chairperson for the Grange. Blanket-making nights happen five times per year at the Grange.

Council OKs acquisition of land for park

BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com

Snoqualmie is one step closer to expanding Riverview Park and beginning work on the Snoqualmie Riverwalk after the City Council authorized Mayor Matt Larson to make an offer to acquire and complete the purchase of a house and property on Park Avenue Southeast. The Johnson property is the first house downstream of Riverview Park and is right next door to the Lisle parcel. The Lisle parcel was approved for acquisition earlier this year and the purchase is nearing completion. If negotiations go smoothly, the city will do demolition, recycling and salvaging of both the Lisle

and Johnson homes this winter, removing asbestos and hazardous chemicals if found, Snoqualmie Associate Planner Nicole Sanders said. Demolition would be done in the summer. The King County Flood Control District will pay for the property and transfer it to Snoqualmie if the sales come to fruition. Once the structures are off the land, the city will begin restoration and natural improvements, starting with killing the invasive knotweed that has taken over much of the Snoqualmie River’s banks. That involves injecting every knotweed stalk with an herbicide that can take three years to kill the plant. If the plan moves for-

ward, trees will be planted along the riverbank once the structures are gone, Sanders said. The city is currently in violation of environmental temperature regulations in the river. Shade from the trees will cool the water temperatures downstream and help improve salmon habitat. “The acquisition would allow us to expand Riverview Park and do improvements on the park and along the street,” Sanders said. “It will give us a bit of a head start in knowing how to do the (Riverwalk) designs once the property is acquired.” Sanders said the city is anticipating the first phase of building the Riverwalk to begin in 2018. 40.17520.SV.R

I could go on and on talking about drones BY STUART MILLER

fter publication of my article a few weeks ago about drones bothering Meadowbrook elk, I got an email from a commercial drone pilot. It was not an angry message about my article being unfair, which I have received for past articles and almost expected to receive as a result of the drone story. No, it was an invitation for some drone training at Meadowbrook Farm. Having never flown a drone before, I was excited to try it out. I also wanted to gain a better perspective on the issue I had written about by getting to

experience it first-hand. So I met Paul Sprouse, a man who flies drones for a living, at Meadowbrook Farm on a

sunny weekday. Paul showed me the controls: up, down, spin, on the left thumb stick; forward, back, left, right on the right thumb stick (if memory serves me correctly). I flew his large commercial drone up in the air and looked around with the camera mounted on the bottom. The views were spectacular, even with no elk. Controlling the drone flying hundreds of feet above me, while

simultaneously having a view from the sky on the tablet screen in front of me, was like vicariously flying in the air. It felt good. Another thing I noticed that day – there was a man in the Meadowbrook parking lot who had a few radio-controlled helicopters with him that he seemed very proud of. Paul told me the man had been doing all kinds of flips and tricks with them earlier, and that they were a lot harder to fly than drones (which have four rotor blades rather than one). Thinking back, I realized that the majority of times I’d been to Meadowbrook, which is not a lot, I’d seen someone flying something or another. When I went to pick

Meadowbrook hops about a month ago, several people were flying gliders they slingshot hundreds of feet into the air and control all the way down. Drones, gliders, helicopters – Meadowbrook Farm can be some busy airspace. I think it’s important to keep the farm as a place where hobbyists can come out and do their thing without disturbing residential or commercial areas. On the other hand, I can imagine how the fleet of aerial craft could bother peace seekers, especially those ogling the elk herd. During take off and landing, the drone was pretty loud. Once I had it a hundred-or-so feet up and away from us, it was

hardly noticeable. I even lost it a few times after looking away. If any new rules arise concerning drone flying, they should be based on common courtesy and respect for neighbors and strangers — of both the human and animal variety. Keeping drones high and away enough to be relatively quiet and far enough away from animals for them not to be bothered would be a good place to start.

Mullet vs. Magendanz In his opening remarks, Sen. Mullet immediately called out Rep. Magendanz for voting against a gas tax increase that in part will fund improvements to the dangerous Interstate 90/State Route 18 interchange near Snoqualmie. A hotbed issue, the interchange came up periodically throughout the forum, with all candidates saying that it needed both temporary improvements and a long-term fix. Magendanz defended his “no” vote on the gas tax issue, saying 67 percent of his constituents voted against it, but he also said that improvements to the interchange are needed. It didn’t take long for Magendanz to confront Mullet on his voting record. Citing voting statistics, Magendanz said Mullet exaggerates claims to be an independent voter who breaks from the Democratic Party on issues. “Chad made an Excel

spreadsheet at home” to come up with the unfavorable statistics, Mullet said, adding that many of the votes Magendanz included in the stats were unanimous or near-unanimous decisions. Mullet said votes where he broke from the Democrats included the funding of teachers’ salaries, class size requirements, funding charter schools, workers’ compensation reforms and a transportation bill. Graves vs. Burner As the forum unfolded, Graves and Burner appeared closer together on policy stances than Mullet and Magendanz. Even so, Graves sent murmurs through the room when he called Burner out on her response to a Washington State Progressive Caucus questionnaire. Burner had just finished responding to whether or not she supported a state income tax, saying Washington’s current flat-rate system of sales and gas taxes are regressive because working-class people pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes

than wealthy people. However, “voters say it’s not on the table,” Burner said, adding she wouldn’t push for an income tax if voters were against it. Graves answered next, addressing Burner. “What parts, if any, of the Washington State Democratic Party platform do you disagree with?” Graves read from a page. “You answered ‘none.’ ” He noted the Democratic platform supported the creation of a state income tax, insinuating she had been caught in a flip-flop. Appearing flustered, Burner defended her response, saying supporting the idea of an income tax didn’t mean she was for it. “I don’t know how else to take it,” Graves said. “It says ‘none’ right here.” Graves would go on to say he gives a square answer to whoever he is talking to, unlike Burner who says one thing to somebody and another to somebody else. “People are tired of political gamesmanship and ‘gotcha’ questions,” Burner later said in her closing remarks.

Predictive scheduling The debate about predictive scheduling laws hinges on whether or not it is fair to keep an employee “on call” to come in to work only if deemed necessary. It is a popular practice in the service and retail industries, among others, to keep employees on call due to the erratic nature of some employers’ needs. The topic has come up in state government recently. All four candidates said they are against predictive scheduling laws.

puter program helped her dyslexic son get along in school. Mullet said the state can create “lots of carrots” to help get lacking programs up to speed. “We’re pushing these kids,” Mullet said. “Our district’s schools are not the problem” in Washington’s education system. Graves touted the benefits of charter schools.

Former Snoqualmie Valley resident Jim Willhight of Conconully, Wash., passed away at age 89 on Sept. 22, 2016. Jim was born near Cedar Falls on Sept. 10, 1927. He moved with his family to the town of Snoqualmie in 1928. Jim lived in various places in Snoqualmie until he moved in his retirement to Conconully in 1995.

Mount Si senior midfielder Bella DiDomenico (8) keeps the ball away from Eastlake senior midfielder Hannah Kleppe early in the first period of their Sept. 22 soccer match.

Eastlake blanks Mount Si in girls soccer, 3-0 BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com

GREG FARRAR | gfarrar@snovalleystar.com

Mount Si junior goalkeeper Renee Anderson (left) and sophomore defender Nicole Sauer (16) end a scoring threat by Eastlake senior midfielder Tatum Thornton in the first period.

Most successful soccer teams have at least one player opponents have to design a game plan around, and senior Brooke Chandler has become that player for the Eastlake Wolves. Chandler racked up eight assists through Eastlake’s first four matches – tops in the Class 4A KingCo Conference – and made her presence felt again in a Sept. 22 match at Mount Si. Chandler converted a penalty kick late in the first half, was a menace on set pieces all night long and helped lead the Wolves to a 3-0 victory over the Wildcats in Snoqualmie. Eastlake won its

fourth straight match and sits in third place in KingCo with 12 points, one behind co-leaders Issaquah and Skyline. Mount Si dropped to 0-5 in conference and has been outscored 23-2. Momentum shifted the Wolves’ way late in the first half when the Wildcats were whistled for a penalty. Eastlake forward Alyse Barlow had position on a defender and was pushed to the turf, in the referee’s estimation. Chandler stepped up and beat Mount Si goalkeeper Renee Anderson, putting Eastlake ahead in the 38th minute. “Maddie Robinson usually takes the penalties, but since she’s out right now with an injury, I’m the one that takes them

now,” Chandler said. “I do like taking them. I like the pressure. I think it’s fun.” The opposing coaches, Mount Si’s Darren Brown and Eastlake’s Marc Wilson, had differing viewpoints on the PK call. “These officials do a good job and I respect them, but I didn’t really think that was a PK,” Brown said. “He said (the defender) had her hands up and it’s just unfortunate we had that call on us, because that kind of took the sail out of us.” Wilson credited Barlow for making a good play. “She was getting beat up a little bit early in the game … I just said, ‘You’ve got to be stronger,’” the coach said. “Mount Si girls are big and strong and they’re going to come through you. If you’re

big and strong in the 18, you’re going to get us one eventually and she did.” Eastlake had trouble breaking down an organized defensive effort from Mount Si in the first half, but pushing Chandler from left back to left wing helped change that. In the second half, the Wolves switched the left-footed Chandler to the right side of the field and put the right-footed Tatum Thornton at left wing, a move that quickly paid off. In the 47th minute, Thornton outran the defense and sent a low cross toward goal, where Barlow slammed it home from six yards out. Eastlake’s third goal SEE SOCCER, PAGE 11

Prep roundup

Too much Irish in Wildcats’ 27-6 win BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com Issaquah had trouble containing Mount Si’s Jesiah Irish, who scored a pair of long touchdowns to pace the Wildcats in their 27-6 win over the Eagles in a Class 4A KingCo Conference football game on Sept. 23 in Snoqualmie. Mount Si led 20-6 at halftime as quarterback Zeke Barden threw for a pair of TDs, a 7-yarder to Eric Daniels for the game’s first points and a 66-yarder to Irish. Irish also showed his ability to run from the backfield, sprinting for a 74-yard TD run in the second period. The Eagles got a long kickoff return from Devin Piquet-Charles to set themselves up in the red zone, but had to settle for kicker Issac Chai’s 32-yard field goal. Chai also hit from 38 yards for Issaquah’s only other points of the night. Issaquah (1-3 overall, 1-1 KingCo) heads to Bellevue to play the Newport Knights at 7 p.m. Friday. Volleyball Bothell 3, Mount Si 2 The Cougars outlasted the Wildcats in a Sept.

20 nonleague match in Snoqualmie, twice overcoming deficits. The teams were scheduled to meet again in KingCo play at Bothell on Sept. 28. Mount Si won the first and third sets, 25-18 and 27-25, respectively, but the Cougars took the second, fourth and fifth sets by scores of 25-22, 25-23, 15-13, respectively. Mount Si’s Katie McCreadie had a matchhigh 17 kills and Sophie Click added 12 kills and 10 digs for the Wildcats (2-2). Courteney Carr had 36 assists and 10 digs, while Cameron Kendall led all players with 25 digs. For Bothell, Alexa Torres (14 kills, 10 digs, two aces), Noelle Sirmon (21 assists, six digs) and Lizzy Shrum (16 assists, nine digs, five aces) had big games. Cross country Mount Si knocked off Bothell in both KingCo dual-meet competitions on Sept. 21, with the boys winning 23-32 and the girls winning 17-43 at Saint Edwards State Park in Kenmore. Joe Waskom won the boys’ race in 16 minutes, 35 seconds. Teammates Jackson Stokes (16:57) and Grant Baker (17:13) helped

the Wildcats sweep the top three. Alex Helfrich (eighth, 17:40) and Will Betz (ninth, 17:51) were the team’s other scorers. Hannah Waskom finished in 20 minutes flat to defeat teammate Chloe Cosgrove by 22 seconds in the girls’ race. Mount Si’s other scorers were Julene McDonald (third, 20:39), Ellie Bruce (fifth, 21:29) and Lexi Winter (sixth, 21:31). Mount Si competes again Saturday, Oct. 1 at the 10th annual Twilight Invitational at Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville. Races begin at 2:45 p.m. The Wildcats’ next KingCo meet is at 4 p.m. Oct. 4 when they run against Eastlake and Newport at Kelsey Creek Park in Bellevue. Boys golf Sept. 22 Mount Si 183, Bothell 208 The Wildcats handily defeated the Cougars in a KingCo 4A match at Mount Si Golf Course as Jake Brady and Drew Warford each fired rounds of 1-under par 35.

came on a similar play, with Thornton beating a defender and finding Kinsey Kolar, who finished after Anderson saved an initial shot. “We talked a little bit this year about moving Tatum and Brooke to opposite sides so they’re both coming inside with their strong foot,” Wilson said. “And you can see what it did – it changed the complexion of the game because then their outside backs realized they couldn’t just defend the line.” Both teams had opportunities on set pieces as there were 25 fouls called. Chandler nearly scored on a couple second-half free kicks and Mount Si’s Natalie Weidenbach was dangerous in similar situations. The Wildcats’ best scoring chance came shortly after Eastlake went up 2-0. Bella DiDomenico’s corner kick bounced around the box and a shot caromed off the crossbar. Mount Si sustained a major loss early in the game when junior captain Mia Fowler went down with what appeared to be a serious leg injury. She was helped from the field and

didn’t return. “We have four returning players from last year’s team, so we’re going to have bumps all season long,” Brown said. “But what we can’t afford is a key injury like that.” The Wolves look to stake a claim among the KingCo elite this week when they host Issaquah and visit Skyline. Their success could continue if Chandler stays a focal figure. “I think we do a really good job moving off the ball and the placement of the ball, I think, is really good,” she said of the team’s set-piece chances. The Wildcats visit Inglemoor and host Woodinville this week, and Brown indicated they’ll need to improve all aspects of their game to pick up their first KingCo win. “We’re trying to get goals up on the scoreboard because that’s something we haven’t had much of this year,” he said, “but we’re also trying to work with our defense, work with our midfield. “We’ve got a lot of freshmen starting out there. It’s a lot to do and a lot of adjustments. We’re asking a lot from these young kids in a varsity game where some kids are three, four years older than them.”

BUDGET From Page 1

expenditures. The previous biennium budget was $1.55 billion. “The Legislature is starving local government at a time when the demand for service is great and growing,” Constantine said. The cuts would translate into about 12 layoffs in 2017 with more possible in 2018, county officials said. Constantine was joined by county executives and council members from several other counties — including Pierce, Snohomish, Whatcom and San Juan — as well as by King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and King County Sheriff John Urquhart. The regional leaders urged the Legislature to repeal the 1 percent limit and allow them to collect revenue equal to inflation and population growth. King County grew by 37,000 people last year, Constantine said. The executive said without changing the tax limit, the county anticipates having to make an additional $20 million in cuts in 2019.

“We will do everything we can to mitigate the impact of these and other cuts, but let there be no mistake — unless the Legislature fixes the problem, these reductions will only get worse over time. And local governments across the state face the identical situation,” Constantine said. One of the few bright spots in the budget is transit services. Constantine said strong sales-tax and fare-revenue growth will allow Metro Transit, which has its own dedicated funding sources, to add about 300,000 hours of service over the next two years. About $30 million will be spent across the county to reduce overcrowding and improve on-time bus service, he said. Additionally Metro will add more buses, expand some existing bus bases and design new park-andride facilities. Under the executive’s proposed budget, the Prosecutor’s Office faces $2 million in cuts while the Sheriff’s Office would lose its four helicopters and marine unit, saving about $1.4 million. Superior Court would eliminate three court

commissioners for a savings of $1.2 million. The jail would cut workrelease and electronic home-detention programs by $1.6 million. Other reductions would bring the total criminal-justice cuts to at least $15 million, county officials said. The sheriff’s helicopters serve the region’s searchand-rescue teams, which often respond to mountain and river rescues. Urquhart said he had two choices when faced with the $2 million in cuts: layoff patrol officers or cut the sheriff’s helicopter and marine units. “I made the decision knowing full well that people were going to die because we could not rescue them,” he said. Satterberg noted when the Legislature adopted the Tim Eyman-inspired 1 percent tax-growth cap, leaders said it would not impact any government services. In his nine years in office, Satterberg said, he’s lost 60 attorneys and support staff. “That does affect services. It is having a real impact on crime and justice in King County,” he said.
