Thieves are big pain at Ernie’s Grove Neighbors fighting back against brazen out-of-Valley burglars

Strong debuts, good week for Mount Si gymnasts Page 10

early call set off a special, rollicking ringtone on his cell phone. Ashley Skeen, a West Seattle resident and U.S. customs biologist, arrived to stoke the scientific passion she found during college. Tom Kemp, a truck stop chaplain from North Bend, is an old hand at the job, as is Bob Folkman, a retired dentist from Issaquah with the outdoors in his blood.

A recent series of daytime burglaries in the Ernie’s Grove area of Snoqualmie has neighbors justifiably concerned. What’s more concerning, it’s nothing new to the King County Sheriff’s Office. “We’ve got burglaries in the Snoqualmie Valley every day,” said Detective Scott Allen, with Precinct 3 of the Sheriff’s Office, which covers the unincorporated areas of Who to call the Valley.

Thieves typically scout the areas by car, then target the homes of working people, who are gone for long hours during the day.

The elk knows they are coming, and she plans to fight. As four golf carts roll to a halt on the Snoqualmie Ridge TPC’s 12th fairway on this chilly December morning, she jumps in fright, churning the frozen ground to mud, steam rising from her flanks. But the net of the trap, baited with apples the day before, holds. The Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group will soon know a lot more about this animal. Harold Erland, biologist and leader of this Elk Group expedition, calls a halt to the chatter and makes sure the

scattered line of volunteers bunches up, trying not to spook the panicked elk. Quietly, he gives the word to go. His volunteers stride fast across the fairway, each ready to play their parts in the job of strapping a radio collar onto a live, conscious wild animal.

Eyes on the herd

Meet the team Each volunteer had their own reasons for coming to this cold, windy hill in the pale morning. Michael Havrda, a part-time Lowe’s employee from Kenmore, is working on his wildlife science degree at the University of Washington. When he got the call at 6:30 a.m., “I threw clothes on and drove over here,” excited for a real-life experience collaring elk. “All right, let’s go!” he remembers thinking. “I didn’t want to be late.” Mike Walter, a computer technician from North Bend, came to support his friend Erland’s study efforts—Erland’s

District ready to remodel SMS

COLLARED FROM 1

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

Renovations of Snoqualmie Middle School could begin this spring. The main component of the remodel, enclosing the central courtyard of the 65,000 square-foot building, would add about 6,000 feet of space to the school, and cost about $2.5 million. Snoqualmie Valley School District Superintendent Joel Aune updated the school board on the project at its Dec. 1 meeting. Funding for the project is already in place, a budgeted $3.1 million from a voter-approved bond in 2009, he said. The district has been hesitant to pursue renovations, though, while the building’s future is unsettled. Since September, 2010, the district has been considering the annexation of SMS into Mount Si High School, as a freshmenonly campus, and holding the bond funds for any needed changes to the building to support that concept. After voters rejected two bonds to build a replacement middle school earlier this year, however, the board is reconsidering the annexation. Aune told the board the district is ready to proceed with the courtyard project by this spring, saying “whether we have middle school students in the facility or freshman students in the facility‌ this particular upgrade to the facility is going to be a great benefit to the students.â€? He added that the district was anticipating a positive bid climate in the spring. Board President Dan Popp asked whether the district didn’t have more pressing needs in any of its buildings, or projects where the money might be better spent. Clint Marsh, a project engineer with Hill International, and construction consultant for the district, said the $3.1 million was approved by voters for SMS renovations, and so had to be used for that purpose. District Finance Manager Ryan Stokes added that the district could redirect the funds, but would have to first hold a public hearing on the process. Parent Steven Kangas asked if SMS was experiencing the same type of crowding that prompted the construction of the Wildcat Court at Mount Si High School. Aune replied that the board had discussed the space restrictions at SMS several times in the past, and said it was a real need. Marsh said that putting the project up for bids by May would allow most of the disruptive work, such as earth moving, to be done in the summer, before school resumed. He estimated that the project would be finished some time in January.

e told me about the adrenaline rush, and sure enough, Tom Kemp was

right. Kemp, the chaplain at North Bend’s TA truck stop, has taken part in more than two dozen elk collarings as a volunteer for the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group. While the job is old hat for veterans like him, it sure was a thrilling way for me to start my day last SETH TRUSCOTT Thursday. I’ve Valley Record Editor never been that close to an elk before, and cow no. 38, now known as “Danielle,� probably never had been this close to people, either. Before Thursday, I had the wrong idea what Kemp, team leader Harold Erland and their fellow volunteers were up to on these cold late-fall days. I knew local elk watchers collared elk, but I had figured it was an easier affair that relied on darts and unconscious animals. The true reality has eight people wrangling a live, stubborn, very awake elk, then

strapping a radio collar on its neck and letting it go, in a fast, tense miniature rodeo. What’s more, this activity is happening, not on some remote mountaintop somewhere, but right here in the city limits of our Valley, not far from homes and roads—maybe your home or your road. My self-education about the local elk herd, and the people who devote so much of their lives to understanding it, isn’t limited to collars. Poaching, too, has become a topic of concern. Illegal hunting of local elk and deer has probably been a long-running Valley reality. What brought it to the forefront, for me, was the shooting last month of two bull elk near a North Bend shopping plaza, coupled with a citizen report we received, inquiring about the frequency of poaching. Talk to folks like the elk group vol-

unteers or our local wildlife officers, you’ll get the sense that this shadowy activity is common in a place famed for its elk, but no one really knows just how prevalent. Poaching is the opposite of hunting. Folks who are passionate about elk—who also hire hunters to cull the herd—deplore poaching, calling it a despicable waste. Complicating the situation is the prevalence of trespassing, in which some hunters invade others’ property for the chase, brushing off complaints and fines as part of the cost of a prize kill. Game wardens now want to tighten the penalties, simply to make people follow the law and respect each other. This time last year, I ran a story on the master hunters who use their rifle skills to change the behavior of the Valley’s elk herd. This week, the theme is on how volunteer scientists stress safety and understanding in the

tense, risky business of collaring. Both activities underline how tightly woven the people of the Valley are with wild animals, and how responsible people balance deadly force with the utmost care for animals’ safety in their efforts to create a balance. It’s broadened my respect for the animals, for the elk group volunteers, and for lawful hunters who follow rules, respect property and pay fees to support the resource. If you think of this place as a bedroom community, a suburb, it may be time for a wakeup call. We must recognize that the Valley remains a wild place in many ways. Drive with the awareness that an elk could leap out on the next bend. If you’ve got a bear in your neighborhood, respect nature and your neighbors by using a bear-proof garbage container. For your own safety and the greater good, please respect the fact that we’re not the only ones here.

Giving some of that love back, for James On Saturday, Dec. 10, my husband, Larry, and I attended the services for James McKiernan at the high school, followed by the graveside services at the Fall City Cemetery. I was so taken aback by the number of people in attendance that I just had write an “atta boy� to our community for the tremendous support you all gave to this family that many of us have had the pleasure to know and love. I’d also like to say the same to those who had a part in the service:

Pastor Monty Wright was simply amazing; musician and friend Austin Jenckes’ music and soulful voice was a balm to aching hearts; speakers Charlie Kinnune and Corey Lindberg (among others) were touching and honoring. The McKiernans are “lifers� to the Snoqualmie Valley. Even though they recently moved to the Moses Lake area, all four of them, Jim, Karen, James and Lynnae, graduated from Mount Si High School. As previous owners of the Valley Record, they became well known and loved by many as they poured themselves into our community. You all showed them how much you love them this weekend. You showed up in droves at the service, then you joined the procession to Fall City, led by a Snoqualmie Police escort. You stood at the side of the road, you firemen, you Venturing Crew at the tree lot, you residents who had to work but just had to participate somehow. I can’t imagine what that show of love and respect did for the McKiernans but I sure know what it did for Larry and me: It made us so proud to be “Valleyites,� Wildcat fans, and part of a community that cares for its own. Jim, Karen and Lynnae— we are so very sorry for the tragic loss of such a fine son, but knowing your character, what fine and decent people you are, I am confident that Saturday’s send-off of one of this Valley’s sons will forever be etched in your minds.

Students, staff impressed at Santa Brunch I am writing to thank Wildcat staff and students for assisting us in the last few events we have had here at Snoqualmie Ridge TPC. This past weekend, we held a Santa Brunch attended by 500 people. Two weeks prior to our event, we had adjusted our entertainment. At that time, our assistant general manager, Shelly Inman, who has two students at Mount Si High School, informed me that

the jazz band is a renowned club. I e-mailed teacher Adam Rupert for his assistance; Adam went above and beyond to make my vision come to life. He recruited five of his students to join us yesterday and perform throughout our event. Needless to say, I and each member was blown away by their performances. It gave our event the classic, elegant touch we were looking for, and was the finishing touch to a spectacular family afternoon. Beyond the performance, Adam and his students showcased their club and Mount Si High School with class, professionalism and a distinguished persona that I feel is very noteworthy. Prior to Santa Brunch, we overhauled our ballroom for a Halloween spectacle. I requested the assistance of the school video productions team to capture the essence of the event and production throughout the evening. After contacting Joe Dockery, he was more than willing to assist us in our efforts for our event. Two of his students joined us for the evening, as well as editing a fun clip for our website and Facebook page. As the aquatics director at the club, I also employ about 10 Mount Si students throughout the summer months. Again, reliable trustworthy kids! Outside of the TPC walls, I am also a basketball coach, I had the amazing opportunity to coach the varsity girls team through the fall

In the 10 years that I have coached and been around high school students, from California to the Tacoma area, I have never seen such a well-represented high school and positive group of student athletes. Overall, I am in awe of the amazing student body that I have been fortunate enough to have interacted with on many different levels. As a token of our appreciation and desire to encourage young adults in their passions, we made donations to the video productions and band clubs, but I feel that their efforts and representation of Mount Si High School goes above and beyond, and would like you

to be aware of their out-ofschool presence. I strongly believe that this is a clear reflection of the students’ mentors and teachers, Mrs. Botulinski, Mr. Rupert, and Mr. Dockery. It is indeed an important time in each student’s life and they are setting examples that will be lifelong lessons. These students will treasure these mentors.

Sammamish parents lobby to leave district Parents make case for switch, shorter drive at December hearing BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

Mount Si High School is just too far away. A small group of parents, representing 60 families in Sammamish, said the distance to Mount Si is the main reason they’ve petitioned for a change of school districts. “If we had a high school closer, I don’t think that we’d have a petition in place,� said Terri Thompson, speaking at a Dec. 1 public hearing on the petition during the Snoqualmie Valley School Board meeting. She added that the high school bus picks up students and leaves her neighborhood by 6:30 a.m. “That’s a very long and early commute, similar to my husband’s commute. He works in Seattle.� Thompson has led her neighborhood’s efforts in requesting that their properties, amounting to less than a square mile of the district’s total 40 square miles, be transferred from the Snoqualmie Valley School District to the Lake Washington School District. “I have the highest regard for Snoqualmie Valley School District and for all the students in our area,� Thompson told the school board. “We love this district. That being said, we feel that the schools are too far away, especially the high school.� Thompson’s proposal documentation showed that 13 other high schools, in five different districts including Mercer Island and Riverview, were all closer to their homes than Mount Si High School. It also listed numerous safety issues regarding transporting children such long distances and times. Another parent, Jamie Davis, asked the board to think about the effect of the extended travel time on children like his, who can’t participate in after-school activities because

their parents can’t drive them. “It’s all about convenience, and making sure they can attend the activities they want to attend,� he said. Regarding the loss of taxable properties, the petitioners felt the amount at stake was negligible. Citing information presented in a 2002 petition for the same transfer, the petitioners’ documentation stated the total funding loss to the district would be 0.126 percent, and levy funding would decrease 0.5 percent. For 2011, the total assessed value of properties within the school district is $5.89 billion. Property values have declined for the past several years in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, from a high of $7 billion in 2009. In comparison, Lake Washington’s 2011 valuation is $34.85 billion, also dropping from a 2009 high of $41.4 billion. Davis also told the board the petition would not create “a domino effect,� since their community is bordered on the east by a natural area, rather than another neighborhood that might also want to leave the district. The group has requested the transfer several times unsuccessfully. Their last attempt was in 2009, Snoqualmie Valley School District Superintendent Joel Aune said. Both Snoqualmie Valley and Lake Washington rejected that petition. Two members of the Snoqualmie board planned to meet Monday, Dec. 12, with representatives from Lake Washington, Aune said. They will discuss the negotiations with the board at its Dec. 15 meeting, and “the intent would be that the board would take action on the petition that particular evening.� The deadline for both districts to act on the petition is Jan. 9. If they both approve or both reject the petition, that decision would be enacted, Aune said. If the districts can’t reach agreement, the matter would be forwarded to a regional committee for a decision.

‘CAUSE EVEN YOUNG KIDS DESERVE A CHRISTMAS

Work on the city of Carnation’s first traffic signal is nearly complete, and the city plans to activate the light, at the intersection of Tolt Avenue and Entwistle Street, at 9 a.m. Thursday Dec. 15. Retiring councilman Stuart Lisk will flip the switch to activate the signal. Representatives from the city, county, state, Snoqualmie Tribe and school district are invited to participate in a small public ceremony preceding the activation of the light. The installation of this signal has been a priority of the city for more than 10 years, to allow pedestrians to safely cross S.R. 203 and to allow Entwistle traffic to safely turn onto or cross S.R. 203. Funding for the project was provided by the Transportation Improvement Board, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Snoqualmie Tribe, with project management by King County.

Holidays in the Valley Lighting up the night Families share warm smiles at cool holiday events Smiles from children of every age lit up cold nights over the last two weeks, during the Snoqualmie Valley’s community tree lighting ceremonies. Bonfires lit up a cool night on Saturday, Dec. 10, as North Bend held its Holiday Festival, which featured booths with Christmas-themed activities for children. Families roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, carolers performed and Santa listened to holiday wishes. Fall City, Carnation and Snoqualmie held their tree lighting ceremonies the weekend prior. Carnation’s event included a pancake breakfast and musical performances, while Fall City’s fun included a school songfest and march to the street to switch on the tree lights, followed by a full s’mores spread at Fall City Park. Snoqualmie’s fun included Santa photos, wagon rides and a community band performance. The fun continues this month with holiday teas at 2 p.m. every Saturday at The Salish Lodge, and an Alpen Folk concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17 at Mount Si High School.

Lindsey Brown, center, celebrates the lighting of Tanner Jeans Field with her parents, Leslie and Cliff, and sister Audrey. The 11-year-old thought the project would bring joy to the well-used Tanner Jeans Field.

All she wanted to do was bring a little joy into a community park, but by the end of her project, 11-year-old Lindsey Brown of Snoqualmie had raised $1,100, made a formal presentation to the Snoqualmie Parks Department, and brought dozens of people together for a celebration of community on a cold, dark night at Tanner Jeans Field. “This park is used all year,” said Lindsey, explaining how her lighting project got started. “Kids like to play on it, and there are soccer practices and other sports… but in the winter it’s cold and dark, and there’s not much going on here, so whenever we drive past the park, there’s no joy in the park. I thought it would be a good idea to make people happier and remember Tanner Jeans by lighting up the park.” She talked with Laurie Gibbs, president of the Tanner Jeans Memorial Foundation, who helped her coordinate with the parks department and get the project started.

“I don’t think this would have happened without Mrs. Gibbs,” she said. Gibbs spoke at the lighting, saying, “This young lady all by herself conceived this project, fund-raised for it, and basically got the volunteers out here with the help of her mom and dad and her sister Audrey. I just think it’s a phenomenal feat.” With Audrey’s help, Lindsey set up a Facebook page to take donations to buy lights for the park. She distributed collection jars throughout the community, and got help from her friends at school. Within a week, donations exceeded $1,000, enough to buy solarpowered lights for the park shelter, and energy-efficient LED lights for the trees and the baseball field backstop. Volunteers installed them over the weekend. Tuesday night, Dec. 6, as flashlight-carrying children still romped on the play structure in the dark, friends and family again came together for the lighting. Finaghty’s Irish Pub donated the hot cider and cocoa for the evening, and the Jeans family attended as Lindsey, her mom, and the community lit up the night. The lights will be on every night from 5 to 10 p.m. through holidays. Lindsey plans to take them down in January, and hopes to make the lighting an annual event.

Mount Si’s slate of veteran gymnasts, several new to varsity and high school competition, swept the top slots in all events at the team’s Thursday, Dec. 8, home meet with Sammamish and Bellevue. Mount Si led Sammamish, 160 to 125, with Bellevue third in overall scores with 88. State-experienced sophomore Hannah Richmond led in the top spot, followed by new varsity competitor Jen Rogers, who was helped by her superior floor and bars routines. “I try to focus on going for it,� Rogers said. “I go out there and think, ‘I’m going to rock this.’ I think that helps me.� Rogers plans to keep building her skills and working toward advanced moves.

The Mount Si girls basketball team split last week, beating Interlake on the road Wednesday, Dec. 7, then falling to a tough Lake Washington team, Friday, Dec. 9. Mount Si handled the Saints, 53-37, on Wednesday. On Friday night, in the first game of double boys-girls home match-up against the Lake Washington Kangaroos, the girls were outplayed offensively, falling 42-33. “We knew it was going to be physical,� Mount Si coach Megan Botulinski said of the game. Both teams came out and played hard, she said. Freshman Elizabeth Prewitt had her varsity debut last week, scoring eight points in four minutes against the Saints. “The ball was in my hands, and it was open,� Prewitt recalled. “I went out there and tried to have fun.� Prewitt was part of a hard-working swing group for Mount Si that included

A group of local crocheters are turning plastic grocery bags into warmer nights for the homeless. Several crocheters affiliated with Calvary Chapel in North Bend are making sleeping bag mats for homeless people, using plastic bags, a number-N hook and a simple stitch. The mats act as a cold and moisture barrier for those on the street. More crocheters are needed to help boost the effort, and are asked to contact Jane Rosenkranz at (425) 8880385 to learn how to help. Instructions can be found at www.lutheranchurchcharities.org.
