Snoqualmie ops levy would help fire dept. adapt to the times By Seth Truscott

By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

The black-and-white photo shows a row of men hefting fire axes and saws, smiling confidently as they open a new station. The 2005 image chronicles the Snoqualmie Fire Department of a different era—a time of fast growth in the city, when fire and police divisions were being built and staffed to handle a big new population. Fast-forward seven years, and most of the men in the picture still work in Snoqualmie. But their jobs have changed. Their department is busier, but hasn’t grown in nearly a decade. Increasing needs are beginning to tell. A hiring freeze could thaw soon, though, as part of an operations levy that goes before city voters this fall.

In one rare moment, Clay Eals is all but speechless. An author and journalist, best known to the Valley as communication director for Encompass, Eals is the guy who makes his living with his words. He is also clearly (if briefly) overwhelmed, when he talks about all the things that a long-dead, almost-famous folk singer has Clay Eals given him in the last 20 years. They were huge opportunities like the music to court his future wife, and a legitimate reason to travel the continent, Steve Goodman meeting, interviewing, and once or twice going crab-fishing with some of the most beloved musicians in America. They were also simple truths, about the incredible generosity of people, how cruelly short life is, and the necessity of following your dreams. His thoughts and stories about the singer, Steve Goodman, flow so swiftly, they pile up in his mind faster than he can get them out. Finally, he distills them down to one concept, gratitude. He leans over and pats the newly printed third edition of “Steve Goodman: Facing the Music, a Biography by Clay Eals,” then grins and whispers conspiratorially, “I got to do my some-day project!” See ICON, 2

icon FROM 1 The book, an eight-year endeavor when it was first published in 2007, is a 778-page encyclopedia on the performer who people know primarily for his song “City of New Orleans,” made famous by Arlo Guthrie. For Eals, though, seeing Goodman perform ruined him for all other musicians. “He was the best I’d ever seen,” Eals recalled. “He would make you laugh so hard…. and two minutes later, you’d be crying.” A classmate of Goodman’s told Eals “He seemed to be more entertained than entertaining, and that, of course, is tremendously entertaining.” As much as fans appreciated Goodman’s showmanship and wry humor, so did his fellow musicians respect his musical talents. Musician Tom Colwell, who will perform with Eals in a tribute to Goodman at 7 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 5 at The Nursery at Mount Si, remembered the one time he performed with Goodman, fondly. “I had seen him perform at the Brown Palace, and was just blown away by the guy,” Colwell said. “His energy was like nothing you’ve ever seen.” One night, while Colwell was performing at a bar called Somebody Else’s Troubles, Goodman walked in. He knew Goodman didn’t like want attention when he was in the audience, but decided to invite him up on stage, after he’d listened for a while. Colwell introduced him as Joe Steel, a name that just came to him. Since Colwell was wearing his 12-string guitar, Goodman picked up his much-loved Fender six-string, and backed him up on several songs, including “City of New Orleans.” “I’ve never heard music come out of that guitar like that before or since,” he said. Although he was a phenomenon among musicians, and in the heart of the folk movement at the time, Goodman never achieved the fame that found Guthrie, or Goodman’s friend John Prine,

or his protege, Jimmy Buffett. “I know Steve Goodman’s an American iconic songwriter that has legions of followers all around,” said Nels Melgaard, owner of The Nursery at Mount Si. That was pretty much the total of Melgaard’s knowledge of Goodman when he took the opportunity, four years ago, to buy the evening on Steve Goodman, along with Eals’ book donated as an auction item for an Encompass fundraiser. “He was a brilliant songwriter that died young,” Melgaard added. At 20, Goodman was diagnosed with leukemia.

It was 1969, and at that time, Eals said, the diagnosis was “a death sentence.” Instead of submitting to the disease, though, Goodman pursued experimental treatments at Memorial Sloane-Kettering Hospital in New York, and continued making music. If he hadn’t, “we wouldn’t have ‘City of New Orleans,’ we wouldn’t have ‘A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request,’ we wouldn’t have all these other great songs...” Eals said. Goodman’s courage in facing his disease is what inspired Eals to write what he calls his life’s work. “Clay’s energy around this thing is really unflagging… just remarkable,” said Colwell. “I think it’s because he’s developed a great respect for Steve’s commitment to be alive.” Eals explains, “The book is, yes, about a musician, but it’s about how death is sitting on all of our shoulders… he didn’t have the luxury, shall we say, of forgetting about it, because he wasn’t supposed to live out another year.” Goodman enjoyed a long remission from his disease, and lived 15 more years. He died in 1984. Eals had seen him live only twice, but was moved by Goodman’s last album, particularly, the last song, “You Better Get It While You Can.” Within a few years, he had started preliminary research. By 1999, he’d reduced his full-time job to half-time, to focus on interviewing more than 2,000 friends, classmates, and fans of Goodman. Four years later, he quit altogether. He worked on the book and spent time with his mother, who was placed in a nursing home across from his West Seattle home. In an other four years, the book was done, and Eals accumulated 75 rejection letters before finding a publisher, ECW in Toronto. The first printing sold out in eight months. His struggle to write the book has parallels to Goodman’s career, but without the tragic ending. “Facing our mortality is a huge thing for all of us… and that’s the lesson of this book: We are not meant to be hermits in this life. We are meant to connect with and engage with and inspire people,” he said. “He was that, personified.”

From bears to tickets, change starts with you

here’s an amazing rate of change going on in the Valley. It’s apparent in the growth that’s happening, even amid a recession, in cities like North Bend and Snoqualmie. It’s apparent in people’s behavior, be it in how they handle their trash, deal with wildlife, help others, or even drive their cars. Life in our community is an experience in flux. It struck me this week how Valley residents are being asked to change. It all started with the bears. When I attended a July 17 community meeting—called to talk about the apparent abundance of local black bears—I figured that Snoqualmie Police Department and the state wildlife officers would calm excited neighbors by laying out some bold new strategy for study and trapping. What I found, however, was a much simpler approach that puts the main responsibility on us people. Bears are attracted by easily accessible food sources, chiefly garbage and bird feeders. So the simplest way to prevent unwanted bear encounters is for people, you and me, to clean up after ourselves. The government, Seth Truscott local or otherwise, doesn’t need Valley Record Editor to get involved. As long as you’ve got space in your garage or shed, you don’t need any fancy equipment. Simply change your ways, and the problem goes away.

Past This week in Valley history

Thursday, July 30, 1987

Challenging ourselves In the first month since Snoqualmie switched over to its new garbage contract with Waste Management, staff noticed that recycling participation is climbing. Snoqualmie Public Works Director Dan Marcinko called me up about it last week, and he was downright excited about the numbers. Citizens have now increased their recycling rate from 51 percent to 63 percent. It’s quite the achievement, but Marcinko wasn’t about to stop there. He wants to see citizens go beyond there, and challenge themselves to do better, recycle more, generate less trash and make a greener city. This summer, Snoqualmie police are performing speeder patrols on Snoqualmie Parkway. I’ve been caught in a couple of speed traps myself in the past, so I know how much of a pain it can be to get handed that ticket. But the cops are out there for a reason—to change behaviors and show people that they need to be responsible and drive more safely. Those hard lessons ultimately benefit everybody, reducing the likelihood of rear-ending accidents, or worse. Like the bear problem, the traffic safety issues in areas like Snoqualmie Parkway are solved by people agreeing to change their ways. Here’s a final change, also a positive one. When you think about groups that help the needy, who do you think of? A short list might include the Mount Si Food Bank, the American Red Cross, perhaps local churches. But you should add yourself to the list, if you’ve got garden space. Community gardens are springing up all over the Valley, and their produce is increasingly being used by the local food bank to increase its healthy food choices. At the same time, the food bank is helping to educate needy families on ways to eat better. Think about it: Your produce could not only make someone’s life better, it could help that person in turn find ways to permanently improve their own life and their family’s. That’s meaningful change. We’re often confronted with things happening locally that we’d like to see change. I think locals all want safe, accountable, efficient and thriving communities. Creating such places is easier than you think. All it takes is one gradual, personal change at a time.

SNOQUALMIE Valley No consideration

North Bend park is right place for rescue volunteers

In response to the recent letter, “Look, Mom, there’s a body in the dugout” (Valley Record, July 18): if this was a member of your family, wouldn’t you appreciate all the time and effort it takes to recover and care for the deceased in the most gentle and respectful way that public service volunteers have to offer? Perhaps you had to spend a few extra hours with your kids in lieu of them going to play in the park or win that ball game. I hope it was well-spent quality time, while the family of this man will never get that chance again. I am proud of our volunteer search and rescue teams. It takes many folks many hours of training away from their families in order to provide this service for our community. You are correct in stating this is our community park. This happened in our community, using our community areas to complete a community act of grace and respect for a fallen hiker. I do not see where any other place would be appropriate to use. The best perspective one can get is to complete the aggressive winter training program yourself, and just see if you have what it takes to save or recover a life. Your services and support would be appreciated, too. Our leaders in North Bend, King County and the search and rescue teams are doing a great job—going that extra mile for all of those who work and play in our community. Thank you!

Lots of support for Tolt event

So, it has been three years since the noise, traffic congestion and ditch stink from the casino have come to my neighborhood. There continues to be no consideration for any of these issues. Has raising the bleachers at the site quieted my backyard or neighborhood? Did not happen. Has anyone checked my backyard for the inability to hear anything, if I were to have a party on the only two days of the week when a barbecue could include any of the people who actually work for a living? No again. Has the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe, King County, or city conducted any follow-up or repair to the reported effluent stench that permeates the ditch at 378th Avenue Southeast on the reservation site’s east boundary where the casino waste connects with the city sewer system? Apparently not. As in the past, I remain surrounded by the constant reminders that the reservation can do exactly as it pleases— pollute the air and the land. I have been told repeatedly that the Native Americans still need compensation for the past wrongs done to them. I do not dismiss any individual, and I do not deserve disrespect for another’s past wrongs. The lessons the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe should have learned from bad treatment in the past are not apparent to this neighbor today.

“We want to be able to pull up to any situation and perform an imminent rescue.”

Citizen survey The fall levy plan had its genesis last January, when the city council reviewed a variety of funding options to address a longterm funding shortfall. In March, the city hired EMC Research and Northwest Public Affairs to conduct a telephone survey of residents, gauging support for a levy. Residents were asked about their priorities, their satisfaction with the city, and the quality and level of basic services. According to EMC’s results, 56 percent of respondents would support a levy for public safety and maintenance of streets, parks and trails. Respondents also rated safety issues such as the police department’s “no call too small” policy, fast response times, and maintenance of streets, parks and infrastructure as high priorities. Sixtythree percent of responders said the city is doing a good job, while 66 percent said the city does a good job keeping citizens informed and 67 percent said they trust it to spend tax dollars responsibly.

Fire department freeze Lt. Mike Bailey was one of those men pictured in the inaugural photo at the Snoqualmie station. “We all enjoy working at a small department,” said Bailey, a vice president with Eastside Professional Firefighters’ Local 2878. “We’ve all enjoyed building this up. We just want the tools to be able to do our job.” The city’s fire company of nine crew members hasn’t grown since 2003. That means that the company can be challenged to handle multiple calls or field the numbers that industry standards say are needed in dangerous situations, like building fires. Bailey said he doesn’t want to be forced to make a choice between his team’s safety and that of a resident in an emergency situation. Calls for service at Snoqualmie Fire Department have risen since 2000, from just under 600 to more than 1,000 a year. “The population has tripled since we began,” Fire Chief Bob Rowe said. “We’re starting to see more back-to-back calls.” Such calls stretch local resources and neighboring agencies, who respond when Snoqualmie needs back-up. “It’s been ‘Hold the line,’ Rowe added. “We’ve tried to maintain the high-level of service and education.” A lot of help comes from a core of volunteers, but training of crew helpers is a revolving door, as existing volunteers find paying jobs or discover that the task is an especially demanding one. “We haven’t had a year that we haven’t had someone go out on disability” for a while, Rowe said. Injured firefighters may need months to recover. “With a small department, there’s only a few people that can go around for the overtime,” the chief said. “It burns them out quick.” The department has tightened where it can. The fire vehicle replacement fund is still being supported, but Snoqualmie suspended its small tool and equipment replacement fund this year. That means the supply of small, useful tools like air packs will deteriorate over time. “We’re stretched to our limits,” Rowe said. “We’ve done all our belt tightening.” According to industry standards, firefighters can’t make an imminent rescue—such as entering a burning building to save a life—without three of them on site. Snoqualmie has a goal of keeping a three-person engine company on duty, 24 hours a day. Since February of this year, they’ve hit that goal 92 percent of the time, Rowe said. “We want to be there 100 percent,” he added. “We want to be able to pull up to any situation and perform an imminent rescue.” When North Bend’s Mount Si Court Apartments burned last Thanksgiving, Snoqualmie was among the first on scene, but their two-man crew had to wait for additional help to go inside. Fortunately, Bailey said, no one had to be rescued. “We lucked out that time,” he said. “Eventually, our luck’s going to run out.” Local Owners Employees Local Owners and and Employees “We’ve flooded “We’ve beenbeen flooded too”too” Local Owners Owners and Local andEmployees Employees “We’ve been flooded too” “We’ve been flooded too”

MS SPORTS FROM 1 “There was hardly any interest,” Fowler said. Tolt Athletic Director Tom Oldenburg wouldn’t comment on the change. With only three schools prepared to offer football this fall, the Snoqualmie Valley coaches reviewed their options. Few neighboring districts offered football, so competing outside of the league would mean long travel times to Sultan or Kings, and increased expenses. “We’re joining everybody else in the Kingco Conference,” said Charlie Kinnune, Mount Si High School head football coach. Declining interest is not a problem at the high school. “In fact, it’s going the other way for us,” Kinnune said. This fall, he’s expecting 125 students to play football. “Seven or eight years ago,

we had 90,” he added. Snoqualmie students, though, have expressed a preference for soccer, and Fowler said if they kept football, Tolt boys would be left out of fall sports. Kinnune isn’t worried about the change affecting his program, since boys can still play football through Wildcat Youth Football (www.wcjfa.org). It is more expensive and less convenient for parents, Kinnune said, but his program can only benefit from its players, who are probably more committed to the game. “The big concern that I have is that these kids at the middle schools lose a really important connection to the school,” he said. For the first season, students won’t have soccer uniforms. Fowler said this was in fairness to SMS who wouldn’t get uniforms, since the school will be annexed next year.

The levy is expected to add at least one firefighter and, coupled with organizational changes, add resources to other departments. Mayor Matt Larson and Administrator Bob Larson say that growing calls for service, coupled with 10 years under a 1 percent property-tax-increase cap as mandated by the state legislature following I-747, mean that the city must go to voters to keep local service to the standard set over the last decade. Staff growth in fire departments and other city divisions has been slow due to belt-tightening measures meant to keep the city, once too reliant on growth revenues, on a stable financial footing. Snoqualmie’s massive growth—from 1,600 to 11,000 residents in 10 years—led to burgeoning revenues from permits, sales and real estate excise taxes. The city’s challenge was how to not become addicted to growth money. “The concern was, what happens when all that growth stops?” Mayor Larson said. “There’s a whole lot of revenue that’s going to disappear.” New home permits peaked in 2007 with 331, then plummeted to a third a year later. Last year, 128 new home permits were issued. But even today, in the midst of a recession, construction accounts for 46 percent of the Snoqualmie Fire Chief Bob Rowe city’s current sales tax revenues, according to Administrator Larson. The city’s solution: As much as possible, putting one-time revenues toward one-time expenses like the vehicle fleet or capital projects. That meant Snoqualmie had to toe a harder line when it came to growing its staff. The city added about 20 paid positions in the last six years. Mayor Larson describes that growth as “anemic.” Growth has paid for a lot. Developers footed much of the cost of the new streets, pipes and parks that came in during the Snoqualmie Ridge planned community’s big growth period. Development revenues helped pay for Centennial Field, and for the city’s first parks department. But there are many things that growth can’t pay for, city officials say, including the aging infrastructure the city already has, such as roads, parks and pipes downtown. According to Mayor Larson, the city’s financial calculations that went into devising mitigation payments from developers on the Ridge posited a roughly 3 percent annual increase in property taxes. By the time I-747 passed in 2001, development in Snoqualmie was underway and it was too late to go back. “New development has been helping us,” Bob Larson said, “but there’s been that delta: The 1 percent we’re limited to.” Both the administrator and the mayor make the case that Snoqualmie has fared well through the recession—unlike some neighboring cities or businesses, they haven’t had to lay people off. “We never hired them in the first place,” Bob Larson said. However, Mayor Larson believes the city is nearing the limit of its current operational capacity. “We built to a size that was needed,” he said. “Now we’re there. We’ve grown into it.” He cited police statistics showing that the number of crimes compared to residents is starting to plateau. The population of the city is still increasing, while the ratio of officers to residents declines. Fire calls have also continued to climb. On the maintenance side, Public Works and acting Parks Director Dan Marcinko said his department is beginning to feel stretched. Service levels, he said, could decline as soon as 2013, as his staff struggles to keep up with mowing and maintenance in a city that is still adding infrastructure such as new parks. Snoqualmie city officials agree that the service to residents hasn’t suffered yet—Administrator Larson calls this an emerging issue— but they’re concerned that levels may be affected in time.

Regarding the questions, “We were being very frank” about the need for a levy, Bob Larson said. “We’ve come to the point now where we’ve got to do something,” Mayor Larson said. “We know these are tough times. Some might think it’s crazy, asking for more money. But I’m going to sleep better at night if I can take these problems to the public. (If) they say no, I’m in a position to take those service levels down. I’ve given fair warning.”

Wacky heroes bond, make new traditions in second, messy North Bend Warrior Dash By Emilee Ruhland Staff Intern

The general consensus of cavewomen, cavemen, superheroes and Vikings at the 2012 Warrior Dash, held July 21 and 22 at Meadowbrook Farm, was that it was all about having fun. Laurie Asava, an employee with Warrior Dash organizer Red Frog Events, watched a man in a hot-dog costume, followed by a man in a ketchup costume, go past. She also noticed the two-foot mohawk on another runner. “They’ve all been very creative,” she said. Warrior Dash was a way for people to come together and train for a triathlon or to just start a tradition, in the case of Quinn Harris and Trent and Austin Wellner. The three dressed up in superhero compression shorts for the second year in a row, and they plan on running again next year as well. They agreed that the mud pit was the best part of the race, as did every other person asked. With the loud music, food tents and beer garden, the event was geared toward having a great time while participating for a good cause—the event benefited St Jude Children’s Research Hospital. • You can learn more about Warrior Dash at www.warriordash.com/register2012_washington.php.

Whoop that cough

As state surpasses 3,000 whooping cough cases, vaccinations are best solution More than 3,000 cases of whooping cough (pertussis) have been diagnosed in Washington so far in 2012, according to data compiled by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), compared to approximately 200 cases at this time last year. The DOH reports that whooping cough has been reported in nearly every county in Washington, with Skagit County having the highest rate. Whooping cough is most common in children and most dangerous for infants. “Infants are most at risk for very

Mayor Matt Larson, Public Works Director Dan Marcinko, and Police Chief Steve McCulley got their whooping cough vaccinations Friday, July 20, at the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Clinic. These vaccinations are being offered free at the clinic. The officials said they wanted to lead by example, and encourage Valley residents to get their vaccination and do their part to help mitigate the current epidemic in our state. Also pictured, nurse Noelle Rivas of North Bend. serious illness from whooping cough, and many are made sick by an adult who didn’t know they were carrying the illness,” said Dr. Maxine Hayes, State Health Officer. “Even people who don’t have close contact

with babies can spread the illness to babies when they’re in public.” Vaccinations are the best way to prevent the spread of the disease. The DOH ordered 14,000 more doses of whooping cough vaccine

for uninsured adults to in addition to the 27,000 doses already provided to local health partners. The TDAP (whooping cough) vaccine has also been provided by the King County Public Health Department. Mary Selecky, Secretary of the Washington State Department of Health, declared a whooping cough epidemic in April of 2012, which has helped make the vaccine available for people who do not have health insurance. Snoqualmie Valley Hospital and its clinics have been able to administer the vaccine at several locations throughout the Snoqualmie Valley ranging from senior centers, senior living facilities and fire stations. The hospital has been dispensing the vaccine for those without insurance or for those whose insurance does not cover immunizations, and only for those age 19 and older. Since June 1, hospital staff have visited more than a dozen locations and administered more than 320 immunizations. Protection provided by the whooping cough vaccine series wears off over time; therefore, teens and adults may need a booster. For more information, visit the Pertussis 2012 (whooping cough) page at www.doh.wa.gov.

EFR: Be safe on the water Eastside Fire & Rescue offers the following tips for safe fun on the water this summer: • When possible, swim where lifeguards are present. Children must be supervised closely by a sober, attentive adult. • Stay within designated swimming areas. Swimming beyond designated areas in lakes and rivers is a factor in drownings. • Many rivers and lakes remain cold all summer, even if they are warm on the surface. It is hard to swim in cold water, especially when one is tired. • Set limits with your children — when they can go in the water, where they can go, who needs to be there, and what they should have with them.

Foam meets function

Snoqualmie Valley adopts budget, levies $2 million less than planned After cutting more than $1 million in expenses and staff, Snoqualmie Valley School District had some good budget news. At their July 12 meeting, members of the School Board adopted the 2012-13 budget, which projected almost $2 million less in taxes to be levied, a smaller than expected loss of staff with a gain in classified staff, and a slight increase in the general fund balance. The tax decrease, the second in consecutive years, resulted from the state cap on the amount districts can levy for maintenance and operations funds at 28 percent. Voters in the district approved an M&O levy amount of up to $15 million annually but the district can collect only $13.1 million this year, explained Business Services Director Ryan Stokes. Increased funding for Title 1 programs combined with cost-cutting measures left an anticipated $180,000 gain in the general fund balance, for a total of $2,781,314. However, Stokes said the district is also anticipating a 10 percent reduction in federal funding, and “we will be working hard to hold back spending until we know more,” he told the board.

SMS gets new room in final year as middle school By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

A worker examines the foam block he just cut with a saw at the SMS courtyard. sub-floor in the hexagonal courtyard area. Workers used chainsaws to cut the foam, and someone had stood an oddly-cut block on top of another for a piece of temporary art. The foam is not just for fun, though. Hoffman explained that the material is lightweight, and will have far less impact on the soil layers than several tons of fill would, especially when combined with the steel roof supports for an 18-foot ceiling. Clint Marsh, project manager, noted that EPS is often used in building freeway overpasses for the same reason. Once the foam is all in place, it will be waterproofed, then covered with a five-inch concrete subfloor. Business Services Director Ryan Stokes expected the concrete work to be done on Friday, Aug. 3, regardless of weather. The concrete to be used will cure even in wet conditions. Roof work will begin the following week. The ceiling, when complete, will be similar to the open beam structure in the high school’s Wildcat Court, and will add 6,000 square feet of useable space to the school. “It will be comparable to Twin Falls in terms of space,” Stokes said. Since it will remain one large open space, the courtyard will be most useful during the

school’s three lunch periods, which have been packing roughly 150 students each into about 3,000 square feet of space. The courtyard, with a capacity 350 to 400 students, will also be useful for classroom work, says Stokes. “Last year, for some of the classes, like the science labs, they worked in the hallways,” he said. Next year, they could use the new courtyard space, free of interruption. Most of the existing doors and windows into the courtyard will stay in place, with the exception of several windows to be replaced by a roll-up door, allowing a high volume of people to walk through, and a projection screen on one wall. Stokes said the space will be more useable to the community, as well, since the school would be able host community meetings, or student assemblies. “This totally changes the character of the building,” said Huffman. Funds for this remodel are coming from a 2009 bond, in which voters approved $3.1 million for renovations at the middle school. Some of those renovations were put off because the district soon began consideration of annexing the school as a freshman campus, and didn’t want to spend the funds then when different improvements might be needed before 2013.

Tons of dirt, concrete and debris were scooped out of the center of Snoqualmie Middle School this summer, the start of a major remodel. Over the next few weeks, construction crews will finish the floor and add a roof structure to what used to be a central courtyard at the school. School starts Wednesday, Aug. 29, in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, so builders are hurrying to complete the most disruptive work before classes begin. “If it’s not done by the start of school, we’ll do it after classes,” said David Huffman, the school district’s project architect. The $2 million project is the first phase of renovations planned to convert SMS into a freshman campus of Mount Si High School by the fall of 2013. Kassel & Associates won the contract for the courtyard work with a low bid of $1.2 million. Other components of the renovation, to be completed next summer, are the conversion of the wood shop into classrooms and labs supporting a proposed STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curriculum for the freshman campus and upgrades to the locker rooms. On a recent Thursday morning, a small crew of workers had nearly completed installing the “fill” layer for the floor, huge blocks of dense expanded polystyrene foam, or EPS, called Geo-Foam. The white foam blocks, some more than 3 feet thick, were cut and pieced together to create most of the

When elected officials show up for a ground-breaking in their own hard hats and safety vests, you know they’re excited. North Bend Councilman Ross Loudenback was already explaining “they told us to wear this stuff,” as he strode onto the site of the future North Bend Fire Station Wednesday, July 25, but he didn’t need an excuse. Nearly all of the 50-some peoplegatheredforthegroundbreaking on the future Station 87 were looking forward to the project getting under way, especially the pre-school class that trooped across the street that morning for a closer look. “They are so excited,” said Jackie Charbonneau, a teacher at Mount Si Montessori. “We’ve been watching them (clear the site) for weeks!” The students watched eagerly as North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, standing on the track of a huge earth-mover, spoke briefly about the project and the number of agencies that had to cooperate to make it happen. Their wait paid off. After the officials took their turns with the golden shovels, the children were invited to do the same, and they jumped at the chance. Representatives of nearly all the agencies -- Eastside Fire & Rescue, Fire District 38, North Bend Fire and the city of North Bend, Bellevue EMS and King County EMS -came to the celebration, along with several who were former

station. One of the three bays in the current station 87 is not big enough for a standard-size rescue vehicle. “We actually had to change our medic unit because of the space restrictions,” said Battalion Chief Mark Moultan, with the Bellevue Emergency Medical Services unit that staffs the station. The $4.1 million station will also be outside of the floodplain, and built to current seismic standards for public safety buildings. The project is expected to be complete in mid-July 2013. Funding for the new station is from two voter-approved bonds, from Fire District 38 and the city of North Bend, totaling $5.2 million. Ron Pedee, chairperson of the board of directors for F.D. 38, said it was a difficult prospect to bring a bond to voters in early 2011. “Fortunately, we were able to ‘make the sale,’ and now this community will benefit for many, many years,” he said.

Era of excitement Valley grad Nikki Stanton tapped to play with Sounders Women By Emilee Ruhland

Staff Intern

rom the bright purple sneakers on her feet to the red PreWrap headband, Nikki Stanton is all about soccer. A regular day for Stanton, a 2009 Mount Si grad who is now playing for Sounders Women, part of the Seattle Sounders Football Club, involves a morning workout and practice, training nine girls ages 14-16, running in the afternoon and coaching a Cascade U17 team in her spare time. Even while sitting down, she explodes with energy and excitement. It is easy to understand why she was chosen to practice with the Sounders and how she earned her way to a regular spot on the roster. Stanton started soccer at a young age, first playing with her brother’s team at 4 years old. From there, she moved to local leagues, school sports, and select teams. “It’s the only thing I ever do,” Stanton said happily. She stood out in high school, and was asked to practice with the Sounders before she graduated. However, she tore her ACL and was unable to continue. Stanton had several college choices, and eventually chose Fairfield University, in Connecticut, where she was offered a full ride. There

Mark Marum, 9, of Snoqualmie is a national champion wrestler. Marum, competing at 50 pounds, dominated his class in the Intermediate Division at the 2012 Asics/ USAW Kids Freestyle Nationals, June 26 to 28 in Orem, Utah. A member of the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club, Marum beat Lyle Anderson of Nevada by technical fall, 6-0 and 9-0, then bested Daniel Sheen of Illinois, 0-6,6-0, 7-5. He followed with a 5-4, 6-5 decision over Sage Mortimer of Utah. Marum won the title by pin over Tristan Smith of Utah in 1:40. Marum also placed seventh place in GrecoRoman. His finish earns him All-American status. At the Western Regionals, June 17 to 23 in Pocatello, Idaho, Marum placed first in freestyle, third in folkstyle and fourth in Greco-Roman, competing with wrestlers from Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Idaho, utah, Montana, Wyoming, California and Nevada. Marum is a “triple-crown” state champion in three different styles: Folkstyle, freestyle and GrecoRoman. He was a folkstyle champion in Spokane last January, and on April 28, he was a Greco-Roman state champion. He won a championship in freestyle wrestling in May at Pasco. His family believes he may be the first Snoqualmie Valley wrestler to accomplish that kind of record. Marum has thanks for his teammates and training partners, saying his success would not have been possible without them. He also thanks the coaches who pushed him forward and believed in him, including Joe Marenco, Smokey McClure, Chuck Harrison, Nels Melgaard, Tony Schlotfeldt and his father, Thomas Marum. Thomas has a love of the sport, starting his wrestling career in the Valley four decades ago. He’s seen the handful of “tough kid” wrestlers locally grow into a big crop of Valley talent over the years. Today, he says,many youth wrestlers train eight to 10 months a year, making a huge difference in their success. Marum’s family tells the Record that he worked very hard to accomplish his wins. He is a proud member of the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club. The club was founded about four years ago, and has grown to include more than 70 youths and produce seven individual state champions, including Dawson Schneider and Benton Grisso in the Pee Wee division folkstyle category; Kyan Zimmerman in Bantam division folkstyle, Tryon Kass in Intermediate Greco-Roman, and now Marum. The club has also had numerous top-eight placers at state competitions.

Our dearly loved and deeply missed, Cassie, died on July 13, 2012 in Durango, Colorado. Cassie was born in Redmond, Washington, on January 5, 1992 to her parents Tracy Gilbert, and Lane Martin. She grew up in the Snoqualmie Valley and attended schools in Kirkland, Carnation, and Duvall. She graduated from Cedar Crest High School in 2010 and was about to enter her third year at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Cassie moved to Durango with her dog, Bailey, in late summer 2010. She attended college full-time, worked at part-time jobs, and especially enjoyed hiking and river rafting in Durango. She loved animals and was passionate about their welfare. She volunteered with the local humane society. Cassie also felt the calling to help women in need and volunteered for the local battered women’s shelter. She accomplished so much in her brief life and her family was so looking forward to her future – their “shining star.” Cassie is survived by her mother, Tracy Gilbert of Carnation; father, Lane Martin of Eastern Washington; grandparents, Susanna and Rick Gilbert of Carnation; boyfriend, John Nichols of Hesperus, CO; her special aunts, uncles, cousins; and, several Washington and Colorado friends.

Date of Issuance: July 31, 2012 Description of Proposal: King County, in partnership with the Western Federal Lands Highway Division of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Mount BakerSnoqualmie National Forest of the U.S. Forest Service, proposes to improve approximately 9.7 miles of Washington Forest Highway 29 also called the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road, Road 56 and Lake Dorothy Road, hereafter referred to as the Middle Fork Road. The route serves as the only motorized access to the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Valley, a popular recreation area located less than an hour drive from the Seattle metropolitan area. The area provides a wide range of recreational opportunities including hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, rafting, swimming, hunting, fishing, camping, hot springs, and other activities. The project area currently consists of 9.7 miles of unpaved, unimproved gravel roadway with four bridges and numerous culverts. Because of the high recreational use and lack of facilities, uncontrolled recreational access and use occur at numerous locations in the project area, damaging the natural environment, including riparian and other sensitive areas. The lack of designated travel lanes encourages parking along and within the roadway near the recreational area, often constricting the roadway to a single lane. The proposed project involves the following: “ Reconstructing and paving the existing Middle Fork Road from approximately Milepost 2.7 to Milepost 12.4 in order to create a uniform 20-foot-wide paved road with isolated sections of 18-footwide paved road in areas with severe terrain constraints. “ Raising the grade where needed to ensure roadway stability and minimize flood damage to the roadway. “ Performing minor alignment adjustments to soften sharp curves. “ Replacement of three bridges, one each at Mileposts 6.0, 8.4 and 10.6. “ Of the 108 culverts in the project corridor 70 will be replaced (with five being made fish passable), 13 will be cleaned and no improvements will be made to the remaining 25. “ Upgrading signage and other roadside safety features. The project construction will take approximately 2.5 years between February and December subject to weather and timing restrictions to protect wildlife. It is anticipated that the project will be advertised in the fall of 2013 and that construction would begin in April 2014. The exact construction timing or schedule will be determined by the contractor. Location of Proposal: The project is located just east of the city of North Bend on Middle Fork Road and begins at Milepost 2.7 and ends within the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest at the new Middle Fork Campground located at Milepost 12.4. The subject prop-

erty is located in the following Township/Range/Section combinations as the Middle Fork road progresses from Milepost 2.7 to Milepost 12.4: T23N R09E S20, S21, S16, S15, S10, S02, S35, S36; T23N R10E S31, S30, S29, S28, and S21. Title of Documents Being Adopted: “Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road Project WA PFH 29-1(1) Environmental Assessment” (EA) dated March 2012 and “Finding of No Significant Impact” (FONSI) dated May 31, 2012. These documents were prepared for the project by FHWA in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. These documents are available at the following FHWA website: http://www.wfl.fhwa.dot.gov/pro jects/wa/snoqualmie/ Adoption: This Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) document serves as adoption (Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-610 (2)) of the EA and the FONSI. The EA and FONSI documents satisfy the requirements for a determination of nonsignificance under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). After independent review, it has been determined that these documents meet the environmental review needs for the current proposal and they will accompany the proposal to the decision maker. The lead agency for this proposal has determined that the project does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An environmental impact statement (EIS) is not required under the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 43.21C.030(2)(c). This determination was made after review of the following: (1) the adopted EA and FONSI documents discussed above; (2) the completed Environmental Checklist prepared for the project; and (3) other information on file with the lead agency. This DNS is issued under the WAC 107-11-340(2); the lead agency will not act on this proposal for fourteen (14) days from the date of issuance for the DNS per WAC 197-11-502. Any comments regarding this project must be submitted by telephone or in writing by 4:30 PM on August 15, 2012. If you have any questions, concerns, or require additional information, please call the Managing Engineer or the Senior Environmental Engineer for the project listed below. The information is available to the public on request (for a nominal photocopying fee) or can be reviewed in the office free of charge. The documents are available at the following libraries: “ Seattle Public Library, Business & Science Dept., 1000 4th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104” North Bend, 115 East 4th Street, North Bend, WA 98045 This DNS is issued under Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 197-11-340(2); the lead agency will not act on this proposal for fourteen (14) days from the date of issuance for the DNS per WAC 197-11-502.
