Snoqualmie business owner’s generator disappears when power comes back BY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter
Baking cookies with American students in a Mount Si High School classroom, the three teens rely more on teamwork than words. The vibe is low key as students take in their assignment, then munch on the finished product with fellow cooks. As the chocolate melts and the dough rises, three cultures are coming together in a subtle way in Laura Tarp’s culinary classroom.
Within minutes of Joe Dollente turning off his emergency generator Saturday night, Jan. 21, in downtown Snoqualmie, somebody stole it. Dollente, co-owner of Gianfranco’s Ristorante since October, had been using the generator to run the restaurant through a four-day blackout caused by the severe winter storms of the previous week. “It was outside, right outside the door,� he said, pointing to the back door of the restaurant. The power came back to Snoqualmie JOE DOLLENTE around 8:40 p.m. Saturday, he said, but he kept the generator running until his last customer left, around 9 p.m. After shutting it off, he put the cords away and did general clean-up inside while he let the generator cool, and when he came back a few minutes later to put it away, it was gone. “I’m pretty sure it was between 9 and 9:20 p.m. when it happened,� he said.

State shortfall could enter 5th year at Upper Valley district BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
Three hours into the Snoqualmie Valley School Board meeting, acting board president Scott Hodgins decided it was time to speed things up.
“Get on to the bad news,� he suggested to Business Services Director Ryan Stokes, as he reviewed the district’s finances January 26. Stokes complied by telling the board and the 30-plus audience members still in the room that the district is facing an $800,000 shortfall for this school year, and is planning for about $2 million in
cuts from the 2012-13 budget. The news, following discussions on a proposed Kindergarten format change and how the potential transition of Snoqualmie Middle School to a freshman campus will affect middle schoolers, drew little reaction from the worn-out audience.

CONNECT FROM 1 Cocchella and Gamonal are the first high school exchange students from Snoqualmie’s new Friendship City of Chaclacayo, Peru. Soo is one of about a dozen visiting high schoolers from the Sister City of Gangjin, South Korea. Last week, Snoqualmie host-
ed two delegations of students from partner cities overseas. The youth are in the vanguard of new international connections happening here. Young people have been at the heart of Snoqualmie’s sister cities relationship from the beginning. Snoqualmie and Gangjin’s connection began in 2008, when Mayor JuHong Hwang of Gangjin asked to
establish a student exchange. Groups of students have been shuttling between Gangjin and Snoqualmie since 2009, when the two communities became sisters. Chaclacayo, a city of 41,000 with striking similarities to Snoqualmie, became an official Friendship City last November. Friendship city status is a forerunner to

becoming a sister city. Snoqualmie’s connection with Chaclacayo happened through the efforts of Tina McCollum, vice president of the Snoqualmie Sister Cities Association. Members of the association wanted more international connections, but also wanted a more easily broken language barrier. With Spanish already taught at Mount Si High School, the association decided to explore a Latin American connection. McCollum’s friend and former tour guide Ernesto Riedner lives in Lima. She asked him to identify a likely candidate city in Peru. “I need a city that has easy access, comparable to Snoqualmie-North Bend,” McCollum told Riedner. Chaclacayo topped the list, and Mayor Alfredo Valcarcel Cahen jumped at the opportunity. Just like with Gangjin, the Chaclacayo connection began with the young. “Our students are our key element to building friendships,” and those friendships are forming fast, McCollum said. “The kids are the future, so we start with them first.”
The journey left teens Renato, Valeria and college exchange student Michelle Riedner in a flip-flopped world. When they left Peru, it was summer. Bundled in gloves and hats, when they got off their 22-hour flight from Lima via Houston and San Francisco, the trio stepped into winter’s grip. McCollum knew they were tired Monday evening, as she waited with the students at City Hall for pick-up by host families. “They were so happy to be here,” she said. “I think they’re enjoying the weather today.”
We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children to be treated. It is our goal to implement the highest standard of care at every patient encounter whether it is a child’s first visit to the dental office, a teenager who is headed off to college or a special-needs adult patient we’ve been seeing for decades.

Hello, Chaclacayo To Tina McCollum, the similarities between Snoqualmie, USA, and Chaclacayo, Peru, make for a natural connection: t 4OPRVBMNJF JT NJMFT FBTU PG Seattle, on the banks of a river, next to the main highway, and happens to be a major tourist center. t $IBDMBDBZP QPQVMBUJPO IBQQFOT UP CF NJMFT FBTU PG UIF Peruvian capital of Lima, along the Carretera Central, or main highway. t 5IF SJWFS 3ÓNBD SVOT SJHIU UISPVHI the town, which is a getaway from the big city. Weather is warm in the summer, flipped to December and February, mild in the winter. Peru’s dry climate—the region gets about five inches of snow annually—contrasted with the Valley, where stubborn snow drifts lingered Tuesday. Unearthing all her winter clothing back in Chaclacayo, Gamonal knew it would be a drastic change. Taking in the view from the airplane, she decided she loved it. That impression didn’t fade the next day, after she met students at Mount Si. “People at the high school are very friendly,” she said. “I love the way that school is. I am very grateful to be here.” Cocchello, too, felt welcomed here. “We’re going to have a lot of fun memories,” he said, “lots of things to remember.” The friendships made in these exchanges last for a lifetime, McCollum says. She should know, as she’s developed close bonds with counterparts in Korea. “The family enhances, becomes bigger,” McCollum said. All these connections… introduce other experiences. Cities build relationships. They build friends.”
Chaclacayo links Visiting Snoqualmie for a student exchange banquet, Miguel Angel Velásquez, Peru’s Seattle-based Consul General, said he sees many similarities between the communities. Like Snoqualmie, “Chaclacayo is a touristy town,” Velasquesz said. “A lot of people visit on weekends. It has much better weather than Lima.” People with respiratory ailments often go there to recover. Weekenders buy homes there. The name comes from ancient Aymara Indian roots meaning “foot of the reeds.” But the city itself is young; The first house was built by Dr. Mario Accinelli, a local benefactor, in 1931. Peruvian students have been traveling overseas for years, but the practice is becoming increasingly common, Velazquez said. “They become ambassadors,” he added. “We want to welcome more people to visit
Peru, because we have so much to offer—history, archaeology, sights.” Snoqualmie, Chaclacayo and Peru could all benefit from the budding cultural exchange, Velazquez said. “We have to celebrate this opportunity, and through friendship, the possibility of exchanges and trade,” he said. Chaclacayo’s mayor Valcarel Cahen is reviewing how businesses can connect. “It’s always easier to do exchanges and trade among friends,” Velazquez said. “We consider Snoqualmie a friend of Chaclacayo and Peru. It will be natural now.” During Tuesday’s banquet, both sides exchanged gifts. Peruvian dignitaries received a Salish Lodge gift bag that included a crystal box engraved with an image of Snoqualmie Falls, and a Snoqualmie Winery cabernet. In return, Snoqualmie received a golden replica of an Incan imperial death mask, a collection of butterflies for Mount Si High School, woodcarvings of vicuna—a llamalike native animal—and a tiny, handcrafted tin church. The Peruvian students, meanwhile, received bags of high school apparel. “You now are officially Wildcats,” Tina said. “We’d like to say ‘thank you,’ remember us, and salud!” As diners tucked into salad and salmon during Tuesday’s welcome banquet at City Hall, Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson counseled the young visitors to consider the broader picture. “You’re here, representing not only your family, you’re representing your nation,” he said. “Always have that in mind, and take that back in the future.”
Chance of a lifetime Snoqualmie seems a beautiful place to Michelle Riedner. The college student from Lima is used to Peru’s dry conditions. Here, in one of the wettest places on the North American continent, she’s enjoying the rare weather and looking forward to snowboarding—in Peru, they sandboard. “Our lifestyles are a little bit different,” Riedner said. “For me, this is an amazing experience. I can learn about your culture, and you can learn about my culture.” Riedner is an artist. She loves painting, theater and hospital clowns. She’s trying to find her place, her calling, and her host family, the McCollums of North Bend, plan to show her local cultural features. She’s also assisting the Spanish language department at Mount Si during her visit. “This is new, and I have to take advantage of this,” Riedner said. “Everything has possibility. I have to take it.”

SCHOOL CUTS FROM 1 “So, when Ryan was talking about department heads… looking at how to reduce their budget, you were talking about staff cuts, not necessarily programs or paper … he was basically talking about personnel?” asked teacher Lisa Radmer. “Yes, that’s where we are,” responded Superintendent Joel Aune. “There are always smaller-type reductions you can make… but we’re beyond that.” No staff cuts will be made for the current year, Stokes said, because the school has a one-year contract with all staff. However, staff cuts are a real possibility for the 201213 school year, depending on the state legislature’s current-session budget decisions. The current-year shortfall of $800,000 will have to be absorbed by the district, reducing its $3.4 million fund balance. The fund balance took its first such hit the previous year, when the state legislature decided in the spring of 2011 to reduce the district’s current-year funding by more than $300,000. Stokes said the causes of the current shortfall could mainly be attributed to lower enrollment than budgeted, and the district’s decision to “make whole” the teacher pay that the state reduced funding for by 1.9 percent, among other concessions to the Snoqualmie Valley Education Association
4OPRVBMNJF 7BMMFZ 3FDPSE t 'FCSVBSZ t
For the people
during last summer’s contract negotiations. Enrollment for the year is averaging about 75 full-time-equivalent students less than the district had budgeted. Since the state funds schools on average FTE enrollment (around $6,000 per FTE) the loss is about half of the shortfall. The $2 million in planned cuts for 201213 could also be affected by enrollment. “If there’s some enrollment growth, that’s less that we have to cut,” Stokes said. More than half of the $2 million figure is earmarked for potential cuts in state funding, added Stokes, who said the Governor’s proposal to increase class sizes (by reducing teacher funding) would cost Snoqualmie Valley about $1.2 million in the coming year. A lot will depend on the legislature. “It could very easily be only $500,000 by the time we’re done,” Stokes said. However, while the district waits for legislative action, it is also required to send notifications by May 15 to any teachers who might be laid off for the coming year. This requirement is one of several that the district must comply with before fully knowing the impact of state funding cuts. Stokes said staff have been working on the 2012-13 budget since November, and hope to present it to the school board for adoption in July. By law, the district must adopt the next year’s budget before the start of school.
Youth Citizen of the Year Heidi Dehart loves uplifting others BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
What Heidi Dehart does, she does because of other people. People are what motivates the Mount Si High School senior to volunteer for various Key Club activities, and to coordinate the club’s big garage sale fundraiser each summer. “The part that I really enjoy…is watching people who were looking for something and just being really overjoyed that they found it,” she explained, “or just being so happy that other people are HEIDI DEHART willing to help them.” Her positive approach is just one of many reasons she was recently awarded the first-ever North Bend Youth Citizen of the Year Award. “She leads by example and is always the first one into a service project and the last one to leave,” said Mayor Ken Hearing. “Her commitment to Key Club is just an extension of
her hard work in academics.” Dehart, the daughter of Larry and Pirjo Dehart of North Bend, was listening to Hearing read the nomination and assuming the award was going to her best friend, Jewel Dockery, who recruited her into Key Club when they were both in sixth grade. “I was thinking, that could apply to Jewel,” she said, “but no, Jewel doesn’t play soccer….” Dehart was more than surprised when she realized the award was for her. “I like just sitting back and watching, so getting an award was really kind of shocking,” she said—especially when it’s simply for doing the things she likes to do, like volunteering for Key Club projects. “I just saw how much fun it was and I really enjoyed working with people in the community,” she said. Sidelined from soccer by a medical condition this year, Dehart is taking two Advanced Placement classes this year at school, and helping to manage the year-old writing club that started at Mount Si High School last year. Her favorite event, though is the Key Club’s involvement with Relay for Life, and the fundraising garage sale she has coordinated for years. The garage sale happens in the summer, but she’s still thinking about it now. “I’m trying to find an underclassman who’s willing to take over the project, so it can continue,” Dehart said.

y day, Kathi Prewitt is a business manager for a busy bank. By night, she’s a mom and a city council member for Snoqualmie. So the one thing that drives her crazy is to feel like she’s wasting her time. So when Prewitt started thinking about what she wanted to accomplish at this week’s council retreat, she decided it was time to look at how the council organizes itself. Each city council in the Valley tackles the issues of the day by committee, breaking the issues (and themselves, in groups of three) off into four SETH TRUSCOTT Valley Record Editor or five categories. It’s been at least eight years since the Snoqualmie City Council reorganized its council committees. Back in 2004, a rapidly growing city was building so many parks, it was decided that parks issues were best addressed as part of the planning committee, which looks at how the city will grow and change. Today, the city’s parks are pretty much a done deal. Now, they could well go under the community heading. Or, maybe, they could be linked with public works. It all depends on how you break down the issue.

At the most basic level, everything in life can be organized by ideas. They are the frame that gives shape to all that we do. So it’s healthy, now and then, to take a fresh look at the underlying ideas—ideas like “public safety� and “Community affairs�—and ask ourselves to define priorities and needs. As the Snoqualmie council begins to ponder new ways of organizing its own thoughts, I’m reminded that we all should remember to step back from time to time, look at our communities in the broadest of strokes, and ask ourselves what our needs and missions should be. Selfknowledge, in a citizen as much as a city, has its uses.

The camouflage warm-up jerseys only get broken out in do-or-die moments. Black and red letters spell out “WAR TIME� across the shoulder blades, underlining how the Mount Si boys basketball team treats each game like a battle. Last week, it was a case of a battle won and a battle lost. The camo jerseys were on display on Friday, Jan. 27, as Mount Si faced Sammamish at home. Missteps in the first half left the Totems with a sizable lead, and although Mount Si battled hard in the second to nearly reclaim the lead, Sammamish held on for a 71-58 win. The next day, in a must-win game at home, Mount Si delivered, claiming a 49-39 win over Interlake. Against the Totems, senior forward Ryan Atkinson delivered a season high of 26 points. He compared his ride that night to a well-played pick-up game. “I was playing my hardest,� he said. Atkinson went to the free-throw line several times on the night after being jostled and floored in mid-charge by Totems players. “When you go 4FUI 5SVTDPUU 4UBGG 1IPUP down, you want to get right back up and Mount Si junior Levi Botten get at them,� Atkinson heads to the basket during play said.

BATTLE FROM 6 Getting back into the game was the theme of Friday night’s play. The quick, accurate Totems grabbed a 14-2 lead in the first quarter, ending the second at 38-18. Following halftime, Mount Si pushed hard to close the gap, getting to within four, 54-50, in the fourth, before shots by Sammamish sealed the deal. Atkinson stressed playing all four quarters. “What we did in the second half was great,” he said. “When people start making shots and the defense starts closing, it opens up other people.” Atkinson and Anthony McLaughlin worked together, with the post
and forward spotting for each other. “We’re thankful we came in in the second half and made a game of it,” head coach Steve Helm said. “We were hoping to steal this one. You wish you didn’t get down by 20 like we did, and have to fight back—it takes a lot of energy. We’ve got to take care of business.” Against the Saints Saturday, Atkinson shared lead scoring honors with senior guard Miles Zupan, scoring 13 points apiece, followed by junior guard Levi Botten’s seven. On Thursday, Feb. 2, Mount Si plays Liberty, 7:30 p.m. at home. “Treat each game like a battle, and you can win the war,” Helm said.

The thief had to be fast and strong to accomplish the theft so quickly, and he or she would have needed a partner. “It had a flat tire on both tires, and it’s really heavy,� Dollente said. “You’d have to have a truck, and you’d have to have two people carrying it.� For all its size and weight, though, the 7,000 watt Honda Powerboss generator has disappeared. Dollente flagged down a patrolling Snoqualmie Police officer and told him what happened, and police contacted a suspicious person seen nearby, but he had nothing to do with the theft. Dollente also talked with the neighboring Snoqualmie Tribe office, to ask if they’d spotted anything on their outdoor security cameras. The cameras would have recorded the vehicles going into and out of the back parking lot, but there was no film of a truck in that time period. Without witnesses to the crime, it’s unlikely that the generator will be recovered, according to Snoqualmie Police. Dollente’s was the only one reported stolen during the power outage. Since the theft, Dollente has contacted his insurance company (the estimated value

of the generator is about $1,200 to $2,500) and, although he hasn’t given up hope of finding his, he’s started looking at new generators. The restaurant will always need a generator just in case. “It was nice being able to have power, and to be open for people,â€? he said. This is the first theft Dollente experienced since taking over the restaurant, he said, but he knew the former owner did have occasional thefts. He admits that he should have known that the chain with the generator was to fasten it in place, but he didn’t use it. “I grew up in South Seattle, and I know things like this happen,â€? he said, “but I just‌wanted to give the benefit of the doubt.â€? Dollente is disillusioned by the incident, but still happy to be in the area, and planning to move closer to Snoqualmie from his home in Renton. He is excited about the opportunity of the restaurant, too. The menu hasn’t changed, and the recipes are all still the same, he said, because he doesn’t want to change what people like, but he is planning to add more desserts, and more vegetarian and gluten-free options to the menu. He will also be more cautious in the future, he said.
