Busy night for vandals Teens arrested in theft, fire-setting rampage

Valley’s Jim and Lisa Schaffer are RR Days honorees

Two boys from North Bend, ages 14 and 17, were arrested Tuesday, Aug. 7, in connection with an early-morning spree of vandalism across several city blocks. North Bend Police Chief Toner describes the two-hour rampage as one of the worse cases of vandalism he’s seen in the Valley.

By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

After nine years as Snoqualmie’s police chief and 23 in the department, Jim Schaffer still remembers vividly the advice he got as a new chief from then-Mayor Randy “Fuzzy” Fletcher. “Keep your mouth shut, your head down, and your nose to the grindstone!” Schaffer says, laughing. See SCHAFFERS, 6

People in North Bend are extremely satisfied with their existing police service, according to a recent telephone survey. A majority of them would support the switch to another department, according to the same survey. Aren’t these contradictory findings? “I don’t think they are,” said North Bend City Administrator Londi Lindell. “Oftentimes, people can be very happy with what they have,” she continued, but something new could trigger their willingness to change, such as money, in this case.

FESTIVAL at

Mount Si

August 10-12, 2012

Blast of summer Favorites roll on at Festival at Mount Si

rother and sister Landen and Izzy Hearing were soaked but happy as the final parade car rolled past. They were among a horde of children—and a few adults—who danced in the cooling spray of a local fire truck in the finale of the Festival at Mount Si Grand parade. This was the first parade ever for Landen, 9, and Izzy, 6. "I like the small-town parade," said mom Sharesa. "So far, so good." With construction on at Si View Park, the Festival saw some changes this year, but most popular events returned. The parade lasted nearly two hours, and the Festival still drew thousands to Si View Park. Last year's champs dominated again at the Twede's Cherry Pie Eating contest. Billy Cooper, among adults, and Tessa Lewis, 11, in the children's competition, cleaned their plates. Other comers simply did their darndest to keep up, some hungrier than others. Little Joel Hale, of North Bend, giggled his way through the entire event, his face and hands goey with cherry filling Teen competitor Garrett Loudenback's eyes goggled as Luther Gunderson, a.k.a. Star Joel Hale ‘The Cherry Pie, wolfed down pie Eliminator’ next to him, occasionally stopping to mug for his family. Loudenback had already eaten a full lunch and breakfast. He dubbed himself "Kamikaze," because "I think this might kill me." "I gave it a shot, man, that's what it's all about," he said. Displaying the Arts at Festival Hall, weaver Hilde Gettinger of Fall City showed younger visitors how to work the loom, passing on the techniques to a new generation. One small girl could barely hold the shuttle at first. But with Hilde's help, she soon got it. "Next thing you know, she just did it," Gettinger said. "It's marvelous." Mount Si Cheerleaders Avery Dahline, Josephine Owens, Jannel Rasmussen and Katy Black hiked down to the Snoqualmie River's South Fork to release more than 700 rubber ducks for the North Bend Duck Derby, a benefit for Camp Eybasut, a local burn camp. The cheer team had spearheaded the duck drive, and were already preparing for the school season and the first Scarlet and Gray game on August 24. "I'm ready for this season, and just to show everyone at school what we're working on," said Black.

SURVEY FROM 1 The money Lindell referred to is an estimated $300,000 that North Bend expects to save annually by ending its contract with the King County Sheriff’s Office, and entering a new five-year contract with the Snoqualmie Police

www.valleyrecord.com

Department. Those savings, along with a dedicated model of police service, were listed as benefits of the city changing contracts, in a telephone survey of 120 people conducted the week of July 23. No negative impacts of the change were described to the survey respondents, however, as the results were presented by

Ian Stewart of EMC Research at the Aug. 7 council meeting. North Bend has been considering the contract change, sporadically, for several years, and the council is scheduled to vote on the issue Tuesday, Aug. 21. Council members requested the $4,000 survey to gather more public opinion on the contract, before the vote.

“This is not going to be an easy decision.” Alan Gothelf, North Bend councilman Because the presentation was part of council business, audience member Jim Curtis, who began an out-of-order criticism of the survey’s “leading questions,” was asked to hold his comments. He, and other citizens, though, were encouraged to phone or e-mail the city with their thoughts on the change. “This is not going to be an easy decision for any of us,” said Councilman Alan Gothelf. Stewart began his presentation with information about the survey process. Respondents were randomly selected from voter registrations, and each person was contacted up to six times, to be sure they were reached, Stewart said. Of the 120 people who answered the survey, a majority, 37 percent were in the 45 to 59 age group, and 71 percent had lived in North Bend for 10 or more years. The margin of error was plus-or-minus 8.8, with 95 percent confidence of accuracy. “The point of what we do is to take statistical numbers, and project them to a large sample,” Stewart said. “That’s what we’re doing here.” He noted that interviewers did not specifically state the subject of the survey, as a way

Magendanz, Mullet lead in 5th District primary vote Early returns from the Tuesday, Aug. 7, primary election showed conservative candidates doing well in the local State Rep. races, but a Democrat gaining ground in the state Senate race. In the 5th Legislative District, which includes Snoqualmie, North Bend, and surrounding communities, the contested state Senate race saw Democrat Mark Mullet leading Republican Brad Toft. Mullet had 52.66 percent of the vote, as of Monday, with 13,986 votes. Toft had 47.34 percent of the vote, with 12,573 votes. In the State Rep., Pos. 2, race, Republican candidate Chad Magendanz earned 53.22 percent and 13,830 votes, with David Spring, a Democrat, earning 42.36 percent and 11,006 votes. Independent Ryan D.

Since the survey results were presented, Lindell said she’d met with representatives from the King County Sheriff’s Office. “They believe, with fairly good certainty, the cost will only increase 3 percent next year,” she said. When the council meets Aug. 21, she will present them with the latest, but not final, cost estimates from the Sheriff’s Department on both a flexible model, which the city currently has, and a dedicated model, to compare with Snoqualmie’s offer for a dedicated model.

to prevent bias. Lindell had specifically requested a bias-free approach, she told the Record later in the week. “I said ‘I want objective questions,’ and told them about the issues that the council’s been dealing with,” she said. Stewart said interviewers, after assuring respondents that they were not salesmen, begin with general “warm-up questions.” Those responses indicated that most citizens felt the city was doing a good job overall (65 percent positive) and responsible in spending tax dollars (52 percent positive), but especially well in delivering police services (69 percent positive). The vast majority of people, 84 percent, knew that the city contracted with King County for police, and when asked to rate King County’s service, 86 percent were satisfied. Next,respondentswereasked to rank various aspects of police services by their importance. Three characteristics ranked highest: Response times are five minutes or less at all times (92 percent); Dedicated police officer within North Bend at all times (89 percent); and Officer available to respond to all calls, regardless of issue, or “no call too small” (86 percent). Lower-ranked characteristics included stable, predictable police contract costs (75 percent); a long record of service to the city (69 percent); a supervisor available to assist officers at all times (67 percent); police costs not reducing funding for city projects such as parks and streets (54 percent) and contracting costs not requiring a tax increase (51 percent). Finally, respondents were read a statement about North Bend’s current contract costs, about $1.5 million per year, and an expected increase of 5 percent annually, and the city’s option to save about $300,000 annually by contracting with Snoqualmie. Given this information, 65 percent of respondents were in favor of changing to Snoqualmie, 30 percent were opposed and 5 percent said they didn’t know. Stewart summarized the findings by telling the council, “People like the services they’re provided now, but they also like the idea of saving money, so these are competing interests you’re going to have to deal with.” Lindell felt the citizens had

Resident: ‘Smart meters’ are privacy threat Tanner Electric Cooperative recently replaced its power meters with digital “smart meters.” Three Tanner members, including my wife and I, have refused to allow installation of the new meter due to privacy and security issues posed by the technology. Other members would likely have refused had they been made aware of the risks beforehand. Smart meters automatically read power consumption every 15 to 30 minutes, and some models as often as every 5 minutes. Readings are transmitted to data management systems where the information is processed for billing and other purposes. The high frequency of data monitoring allows a power consumption profile to be established for every customer with enough precision to determine what appliances are operated and when, when someone is home or not, and your power usage habits. This technology can also be used to shut off power to your residence and even control appliances, heating, and air conditioning systems. Smart meters are characterized by legal and security experts as surveillance devices. Who has access to your data and how it’s protected are serious issues. Your right to privacy and security are at risk once this data leaves your control. Millions of utility customers around the country are saying “no” to smart meters”. Dozens of cities have passed ordinances prohibiting their use. In response, power companies are offering an “opt- out” choice for those customers not wanting smart meters. For my wife and me, this technology brings no value and is nothing we need or want. It only poses an unacceptable risk. Other Tanner members may feel differently and that’s fine—they should be able to use it at their discretion. But, for members who feel like we do, they should be allowed to “opt out.” Power companies like Tanner do not require this technology to operate, it’s not required for billing, it’s not required for system maintenance, and it’s not required by regulation. Use of it should be a consumer choice, just as Congress provided for in section 1252 of the 2005 Energy Policy Act. If you are concerned, contact Tanner and let them know how you feel. If you do not want a smart meter, request that they allow you to “opt out”. After all, it’s your right to privacy, it’s your information to protect, it’s your residence to secure and as a member, you have the right to participate in the decisions of the cooperative. Tanner is in a unique position to set a good example for other utilities around the state. By proactively establishing an “opt out” choice, Tanner can position itself as a leader in this discussion. As other utility customers confront this issue, Tanner can be looked to as the standard bearer for having responded to the concerns of its members. Larry Costello, PE North Bend

Cops switch is bad idea During the North Bend City Council meeting Tuesday, the results of what I would label a token survey were presented to the council and others like myself who reside in North Bend. Sadly, a very small group—120—of North Bend residents were surveyed by phone and asked what in many cases were leading questions designed to encourage these residents to support a proposed change of contracting police services from the King County Sheriff’s Department to the Snoqualmie Police Department. Even so, one point that was made abundantly clear in the survey results was the fact that a very high majority of these North Bend residents were well satisfied with the police services already being provided by the Sheriff’s Department. It’s my strong opinion the contract for police services provided by the King County Sheriff’s Department should be continued to ensure the public safety needs of all North Bend residents. Like the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for,” and this is very important to remember when public safety is on the line. Jim Curtis North Bend

In addition to her involvement with Railroad Days — she chaired the Railroad Days committee for the next four years — Lisa was active in the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce as a staffer before being asked to serve as executive director, which she did from 2000 to 2008. Jim, meanwhile, was active on his church board, the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Foundation Board, the Bellevue College Law Enforcement Board and, during Lisa’s tenure as executive director, the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce board.

As lessons go, though, Schaffer, who retired in July, may have taught as much as he learned in his adopted community. What he’s taught through example, just as simple as Fletcher’s advice, is this: If it’s for the community, just ask. Just by asking Schaffer how they could improve children’s safety on bicycles, a group of Snoqualmie neighbors got what became the Tanner Jeans Memorial Bicycle Rodeo, for example. When Lisa, retired from the Burlington-Northern Railroad’s police in the late 90s with a back injury but still wanting to be active, asked what she could do in the com-

munity, she got a suggestion from friend and Railroad Days volunteer Diane Harms to come to the next committee meeting. “So, we went to the meeting, Lisa and I,” Schaffer said, “and by the end of it, she was in charge of the parade!” The parade coordinator dropped out because of a family emergency, and Lisa, with a month to go before the event, found everyone looking at her, she told the Record in an early 2000s article. What else could she have done, but volunteer? “It shows support for the community and town,” she said then. “It’s not just a festival in Fall City or North Bend, it’s the Valley; it’s everyone’s community.” It was definitely hers and

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatrics Dentists recommend that children visit their dentists by their ﬁrst birthday, as their ﬁrst tooth comes in between six to 12 months. Early examination and preventative care can protect your child from early childhood cavities and start your child on a lifetime of healthy dental habits. When should my child first see a dentist?

help using first-person pronouns like “we” and “us” when he talks about the city. That doesn’t mean he can’t let go, just that he’s been invested for a very long time. “You need ownership to do a good job,” he explained. “To be chief, it’s not just knowing how to do law enforcement, it’s how you deal with people.” Ownership is also why he agreed, when recruited by Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Administrator Rodger McCollum, to join the foundation board. “I was here when the hospital closed, then opened, closed, opened,” Jim said. McCollum wanted the latest re-opening of the hospital to be its last reopening, and Schaffer felt the same way. “You have a sense of community that’s missing when the hospital is closed.” The Schaffers, who just celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, will be honored for their sense of community, when they lead the Railroad Days parade as grand marshals on Saturday. Neither of them is very fond of the spotlight, Jim says, and Lisa has developed painful health problems, but when they were asked to serve as grand marshals, they immediately agreed. “It’s an honor,” Jim said, “so we’ll say our thanks to the community… and if folks just don’t throw anything, that will be cool!” Why not one more Railroad Days? Jim says he’s already worked the last 23, so one more won’t be a problem. “But I might take the next weekend off, and not go to the Boeing Classic!” he says with a wink and a grin.

One shot at a time Medals, skills coming together for future Mount Si golf leader Caitlyn Maralack By Seth Truscott Editor

Scarlet and Gray family football kickoff planned Football-a-Palooza, a family friendly, mostly free event to kick off the start of the Mount Si High School football season, is 4 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 24, at the school. The event includes fair-like booths such as a cake walk, hay find, watermelon seed spitting contest, photos, football toss, fishing booth and hay rides. The King County Sheriff’s Swiftwater Rescue team, Smokey Bear and a tractor show are included. Barbecue and concessions will be available. To learn more, e-mail to angid@nsco.com or call (206) 730-4904.

Firing balls out of a bunker, incoming Mount Si freshman Caitlyn Maralack is expected to be a force on the team in high school. She placed second in her age group at a state youth tournament last month.

The Emerald City Basketball Academy’s Swish Black seventh grade girls team, which includes several girls from the Valley, traveled to Kings Island, Ohio, July 11 to 18 for the AAU Girls National Championships. Swish Black placed 10th in the nation for 2012 at the tournament, which boasts some top competition. Swish Black is coached by Brent Merritt, Sam Adams and Jan Nicholas. Swish Black is a team known for its speed, scoring drives and outside shooting. It is made up of top players from all over the Northwest: Te’a Adams (Kirkland), N’Dea Flye (Oregon City), Juanita Agosto (Seattle), Kennedy Nicholas (Kirkland), Kailey Kassuba (Issaquah), Kallin Spiller (Snoqualmie), Kamri von Oelhoffen (Richland), Taryn Shelley (Shoreline), Heidi Olsen (Kenmore) and Jill Chellis (Snoqualmie).

National play for Swish Black girls

Thin gouts of sand fly as the Caitlyn Maralack whacks ball after ball out of the bunker at Snoqualmie Ridge TPC. Caitlyn is at home in the sand, just as she is on the green or the rough, or really, anywhere on a golf course. “I’m working on all the parts of my game, putting it all together,” says Caitlyn. “This is the sport I’m going to stick to. It’s something I’m good at.” The future Mount Si High School freshman, 14, is an incoming golf phenom for the Wildcats. She took second in the Washington Junior Golf Association State Championship’s girls age 12-13 division, held July 23 to 27 at the Meridian Valley Country Club, after dominating WJGA Districts a week prior. At WJGA Districts, Caitlyn, who holds a GHIN handicap of 9, scored 77 on the first day, 74 on day two. Caitlyn recently graduated from Chief Kanim Middle School, where her mother Chriscentia teaches. Her family moved to the United States from Cape Town, South Africa, 12 years ago. They live on the Ridge, and are members of TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. “We knew there would be a breakthrough soon,” says dad David Maralack. “This seems to be the season she’s putting it together.” Father and daughter play together, and 6-handicap David hates to say it, but Caitlyn gives him a serious run for his money. “It’s a great problem to have a 13-year-old who is beating you at the game,” he said. Caitlyn has played since the age of 5, and was in her first tournament at age 8. “At that age, it’s just fun. It’s cute,” David said. But youth play gets children into the mindset of the game. Today, Caitlyn’s hungry on the green. “I am competitive in almost everything I do,” she said. “Golf is one of the most fun things I do in life.” She loves the game because she can count on herself, while making friends at the same time. Golf has taught her how to be honest and independent. “You have to know your own status, your own score,” she said. Play-wise, “I can count on my short game,” says Caitlyn. She understands the interplay of weather on the course, and enjoys the challenges that Northwest weather brings. A bad shot can frustrate, but Caitlyn knows to move past it. She’s mad at first, but remembers that it’s all one shot at a time. “I think, how do I make par from here—find a way to make par,” she said. Caitlyn practices three times a week and on weekends, balancing play with school, which is her priority. Her favorite subject is math. She’s also a typical movie-loving teen. “I’d definitely choose golf over math,” she says. Caitlyn took part in the youth First Tee program at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, and played at the Crossroads youth course in Bellevue, learning the core values of sportsmanship. She played in the youth programs in middle school, playing in tournaments at Snoqualmie Middle School. Coach Brandon Proudfoot invited her to practice with the Mount Si team, where she’s gotten to know the high school players. “They made it so welcoming for her,” dad David says. Now, Caitlyn’s looking forward to playing on her first real team, even as she gets ready for the big transition from middle school to high school. It’s exciting, but also nerve-wracking to face so many new faces. “Now, I’ve got to make a whole bunch of new friends,” she said.

Old friends, new fun “We’re doing pretty well in the ‘new’ department!” Sue Van Gerpen says as she ticks off the additions to Railroad Days festivities. New to the annual Snoqualmie celebration, or returning after a long hiatus this year, are the balloon pop prize give-away, a pre-event Hobo Feed to benefit the festival, the return of Dan the Lego Man, a chance for young painters to join the Plein Air Paint Out, and a growing carnival atmosphere for the children’s area. The United Northwest Model Railroad Club will be back with their model trains display, but in a new home, American Legion Post 79, and, Van Gerpen, the marketing manager of the Northwest Railway Museum and Railroad Days chairperson, promises, “We have a very cool surprise that will be at the start of the parade.” With no chance of discovering the surprise early, we move on to the old favorites.

Snoqualmie firefighters will serve up a pancake breakfast as their annual fund-raiser Saturday, and those who want to earn their pancakes will be lined up for the 5K fun run at 9 a.m. in downtown Snoqualmie. Trains will run on their extended weekend schedule, starting Friday and wagon rides return to Falls Avenue from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday. The food court is filled up, and there are plenty of vendors. Artists will set up supplies and capture scenes of Snoqualmie all day Saturday during the Plein Air Paint Out, and you’ll find action at the Depot, including “Little Bollywood” on the arts stage at noon Sunday. A full line-up of performers are scheduled for each of the three stages (main, arts and children’s), with enough musical variety to satisfy all tastes. Perennial favorites like the Left Coast Gypsies and Cascade Jazz share the billing with (there’s that word again) new must-see acts from 14-year-old blues phenomenon Nolan Garrett, and Seattle-area alt-country rock band Sightseer. An old favorite will also be returning as Grand Marshal of the parade. Former Railroad Days chairperson Lisa Schaffer and her husband Jim, who just retired as Snoqualmie Police Chief in July, have earned the honors this year. See inside for more Railroad Days fun.

There is a small cost for rides.

Back where it all began

Meadowbrook gathering on Friday celebrates history of the region

amilies are invited to start their Railroad Days fun with a look at where it all began, starting at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17, at the Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center, 1711 Boalch Ave. The Meadowbrook Farm Preservation Association, with assistance from the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society, will host an evening on the history of the upper Valley and its first settlers. Learn the history of the Town of Meadowbrook, where pioneers first settled the Upper Valley and the story of the hop ranch that first brought railroads and prosperity to the area. The prairie was home to Snoqualmie Indians, then, discovered

by explorers who portaged around the falls in the mid-1800s, to farmers, the world’s largest hop farm, dairymen, and ultimately, a small community. Guests can also discover the source of our local elk herd (hint – they are from the Rocky Mountains), and other bits of history. Bring the kids for crafts, games, and a hands-on wildlife display, and bring a dessert or other treat to share. Drinks will be provided. Learn more about Valley history by visiting these websites: • www.meadowbrookfarmpreserve.org • www.snoqualmievalleymuseum.org

Railroad demonstrations The history of railroad construction and maintenance is filled with fascinating machines. The Northwest Railway Museum has a number of examples in its collection and Railroad Days is an opportunity to see some of them demonstrated. You’ll see motor cars, a tie spacer, an automatic spiker, a ballast regulator, and even special cranes that travel on both the railroad and the road. This year there will be demos at 12:15, 1:15, 2:15 and 3:15 p.m at the Snoqualmie Depot.

Arts alive!

Local artists are creating an island of cool culture at Snoqualmie’s Railroad Park Think arts are too highbrow for you? You’ll have another think coming after perusing the selection of amazing talents and crafts on display at Arts at the Depot, part of Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Photo vistas of nature, sculptures in wood and clay, jewelry, leather goods, fabric arts, quilts and many styles of painting—and live demonstrations by actual artists—are at the heart of Arts at the Depot. Visitors can watch art being made up close, and meet and chat with local artisans. At the same time, an Arts Stage with singers and music, and a wine garden for relaxed sipping is part of the experience. Thirty-two artists lend their works for the event, located at Railroad Park, across King Street from the Snoqualmie train depot. Snoqualmie Valley Arts, a nonprofit organization of local artists, and enthusiasts, organizes the show. The Valley already is a home to the arts. “We just have to help people know it,” says Sally Rackets, Director of Arts for Snoqualmie Valley Arts, who is helping plan the show. Redmond Ridge Winery will run the wine garden, offering lovely wines or non-alcoholic beverages. Bring your own food or purchase from Railroad Days vendors, sit and enjoy local song and music. Arts at the Depot is 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. You can learn more about Snoqualmie Valley Arts by e-mailing info@SnoValleyArts. org. Or, visit www.railroaddays.com.

Race time is 8:45 for the children’s 1K, down Railroad Avenue. Older runners will have a 9 a.m. start time, announced by the nearby train whistle. The whistle start is a small detail, but appropriate, Run Snoqualmie race organizer Sean Sundwall says. “It’s becoming a fun tradition that I hear a lot of positive feedback on,” he said. Registration is in person at American Family Insurance, next to the 76 Station in Snoqualmie, at local FootZone stores, or online at www. signmeup.com/site/online-eventregistration/84853. Entry fees are $11 for children, $27 for adults. Runners cross the Snoqualmie River twice before finishing to the cheers of those gathering for the Railroad Days Parade. Walkers and strollers are welcome, but dogs aren’t. All children’s finishers receive a medal, and all pre-registered children get a free shirt. Trophies or medals are awarded to the top three finishers in each age group. There are cash awards for the 10-kilometer open race, masters (40 and older) and 5K open races. Post-race, stick around to enjoy the sights, sounds and food of Railroad days. The race is presented by Snoqualmie Casino. Learn more at runsnoqualmie. com.

Giddy-up: Old-fashioned wagon rides

Sip local brews at Eagles beer barden

Take an old-fashioned ride at Snoqualmie’s historic Railroad Days, on the Carmichael’s horse-drawn wagon. Visitors can hop on the open wagon, drawn by Wayne Buckner’s draft horses and enjoy a leisurely trip up and down Falls Avenue between noon and 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 18. There is no cost. Board at the corner of Falls Avenue and River Street. Carmichael’s True Value Hardware owner Wendy Thomas has been sponsoring the wagon rides for the past several years. She says children love the wagon rides, but they are for everybody, kids, families, and maybe even people who want to meet someone. Carmichael’s is located at 8150 Falls Avenue S.E., downtown.

The Sno Valley Eagles Aerie hosts a beer garden, 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, at the King Street lot, just off Railroad Avenue, during Railroad Days. You can follow Sno Valley Eagles 3529 on Facebook.

Model RR comes to Legion Hall The United Northwest Model Railroad Club will have displays in the American Legion Hall, Saturday and Sunday as part of the Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Two layouts are planned, running trains at 1/160th the size of real-life locomotives. The N-Trak layout, a club favorite since 2008, is built to N-Trak standards with three main tracks and an upper “mountain division” rail. It can be configured to numerous shapes and sizes. The layout runs with DC power and with Digitrax digital command control. The other layout is T-Trak which are 12-foot-square tabletop modules. It was created in partnership with Snohomish County 4-H Foundation Railroad Group (which has both N-scale and HO-scale layouts). The 4-H Railroad Group railroad has been a part of United NorthWest since 2010. Visitors to Railroad Days check out the United NorthWest Model To learn more about the club, visit www. Railroad Club’s model layout. The unwclub.org. club returns this summer with two sets of tracks.

to light,” says Gamble. His biggest job right now is helping build a huge model railroad for a Medina, Wash., man. For Gamble, it’s a dream project. “I’ve always wanted a job where I can think and enjoy what I’m doing,” Gamble said. Gamble volunteered his time for the last two years, helping Sue Van Gerpen of the Northwest Railway Museum, Railroad Days organizer, free of charge. This year, he agreed to be paid a small stipend for his work, which references Americana with its red, white, blue and gold colors. The posters’ all-American,

small-town feel was always what he loved about Railroad Days. “You still see kids being pulled around in wagons, bicycles in parades—fun stuff.” Something about the legacy of the rails captures Gamble’s imagination. “I love history and the era of the late 1800s, early 1900s,” he says. “Steam was still pretty cool and new. All the resources were still in place. The forests must have been beautiful.” He still goes up into the mountains, snapping photos of ancient trees for photo references. East of the mountains, the

rugged evergreens and deserts also catch his eyes. “I love open landscapes,” Gamble says. For Gamble, it’s hard not to give of himself, helping local merchants and organizations. “Somebody should always be there to help the community,” he says. “I’m in a place to do that. I’m glad to do anything for my community.” Gamble has lived in Snoqualmie for 12 years, and is married to wife Cathy. You can learn about his amazing creations at www.toddgambleart.com.

It starts with sheets of house insulation, steel wool and toothpicks. But give Todd Gamble some paint, glue and a carving knife, and in a few hours, he transforms the materials into a mock-up of a rugged Northwest landscape, ready for a model train to roll past. Creating small, fun, beautiful things, straight from history or imagination is what Gamble does best. The Snoqualmie resident is the quietly creative mind behind a lot of projects in the Valley. You can find his handiwork in the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum’s magazine, in regional model train sets, international board games, and, for the last few years, in the posters and maps that promote Snoqualmie Railroad Days. Gamble puts his hands toward any project that catches his interest—model building, graphics for game materials, maps for role-playing gamers, silk screens, terrain, murals. “I’ve always got a new fuse

Conveniently located near the city’s remodeled public restrooms, you’ll find the Kid’s Stage featuring live entertainment from Eric Ode, Nancy Stewart, and Brian Vogan.

Legends Car Club bringing classic rides Steam-powered trains certainly have their fans, but Railroad Days’ third day is all about gas-powered, four-wheeling classics of the street. The Legends Classic Car show returns, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19. Members of the Legends Car Club and car buffs and gearheads from all over roar into town with amazing, much-loved and restored rides from every era, from the dawn of motorcars to today’s coolest sports cars. There are plenty of awards and trophies, plus contests and games for kids. The real draw is the chance to see some the amazing restorations and transformations of cool cars from America’s historic past. Buffs can enter cars, trucks and motorcycles in dozens of different categories. Registration is $15, or $20 on the day of show. Legends Car Club formed in 2000, and keeps many of its original team. “We try to make our car shows enjoyable and fun for participants and spectators,” said Legends member Gayle Sneesby. Fun awards are a part of that: The club mixes things up with different awards and games, such as straw-blown toy car races for children. Profits from the Snoqualmie show are split with the Railroad Days Committee. Proceeds go to help The Forgotten Children’s Fund, which provides holiday gifts for needy children, the Royal Family Kid’s Camp for abused children, Tanner Jeans Bicycle Rodeo, plus several food banks and senior centers. Last year, the event raised $11,000 in donations. The club also puts on the Tastin’ N Racin’ show at Lake Sammamish in June, and the Kirkland Classic Car Show in July.

John (60) passed away unexpectedly while wake boarding on Spencer Lake, located in Mason County, Washington on Sunday afternoon. Born in Snoqualmie, WA, John spent most of his life in the Pacific Northwest including Orting,WA and North Bend, OR. After graduating from North Bend High School in 1969, he proudly served his country by joining the army as a military policeman. During his time in the armed forces, he traveled overseas and along the way developed a passion for adventures and seeing the world in its natural beauty. John became a member of the Puyallup Police Department in 1978, leading a distinguished career in service with the DEA,TnET, and as a detective. 32 years later, he retired on August 8, 2010 as Sergeant John Eads. He dedicated his life to serving his country, his community and his family. He is survived by his wife Karen Belshay, mom Carol Eads, father Eugene (Lynn) Eads, children Alicia (Bryan) Reynolds, Kyle (Jillian) Eads, and Ashley Wolfe. Also survived by siblings Annette McGregor, Thomas Eads, Jim Eads, Steven (Kim) Felix,Teresa (Michael) Schmoe, Susie (Howard) Engledow, Jim Felix and his grandchildren: Jaxon, Asher, Chapman, and Winnie. Most know John for his big bear hugs, unkempt, curly head of hair, his ability to embrace the simple things and keeping what matters most to him, in the forefront of his life. Some of John’s favorite pastimes included mountain climbing, boating, golfing, attempted home improvements, animal rescue, history, Disney films and anything involving the great outdoors. He had a tremendous impact on the lives of everyone he knew both personally and professionally. Services will be held at Pioneer Park Pavilion, 330 S.

Spree FROM 1

663391

Police started responding to the spree after the 3:30 a.m. phone call regarding the library fires. Ten King County deputies, a patrol sergeant, a Snoqualmie police officer, a canine unit and a fire investigator ultimately responded to the case. Based on the description of the witness, who noticed two young men fleeing the library, and camera footage from the North Bend QFC, police soon had an idea who they were looking for, Toner said: Two teens, one in a T-shirt and shorts, the other in a print shirt and khaki pants. At 6:30 a.m., an officer found the two suspects in the bushes near Les Schwab Tire. According to Toner, the boys were cooperative with officers and apologetic for what they had done. They were arrested and booked into King County’s Youth Service Center on suspicion of second-degree arson. Police are piecing together the case and talking to victims. More victims may still be unidentified, Toner said. He estimated that the spree caused $10,000 in damages. Investigators have a list of 11 possible misdemeanors and three felonies, and are considering forwarding charges including burglary, arson, reckless burning and felony malicious mischief, to the county’s juvenile prosecution office. Toner describes the spree as a series of crimes of opportunity, not profit—although the two suspects reportedly kept the stolen cash and nail polish. “I don’t know that they were going to light those trucks on fire” at Chaplins, he added. “But if they did, we could have lost a city block.” If the fire at the library hadn’t been spotted, police might not have been notified and reacted until much later in the morning. For Toner, the lessons from the spree are those of vigilance: North Bend residents should keep their eyes and ears open for unusual activity, and report it to police. • To report a crime, call 9-1-1. You can contact the North Bend Police substation at (425) 296-2612.

“The freedom they felt to assault people’s homes and cars—how do you explain it?” he said. According to police reports by Toner’s officers, the spree started some time around 2 a.m. at Si View Park on Orchard Street, where a banister was pulled out of the ground and hurled through a window at Si View Community Center. Between 2 a.m. and 2:15 a.m., sprinklers on the Si View lawn activated, rising from their concealed recesses. Two sprinkler heads were kicked off their mounts. A Si View van was vandalized, with nasty words, scrawls and symbols scratched into the paint on three sides. A neighbor’s vehicle was sprayed with a thick industrial glue, and mail was stolen from a nearby front porch. Small yard lights were also snatched and smashed. The suspected vandals allegedly went to a nail salon on North Bend Way, cut open a window screen and went inside, stealing cash and fingernail polish. Next, the North Bend Post Office was hit. Vandals dumped the contents of recycling bins on the floor, covering it in paper. “You weren’t touching tiles when you walked through there,” Toner said. The empty bins were thrown at the ceiling, damaging ceiling panels and light fixtures. The vandals, Toner said, also visited the North Bend QFC, stealing fruit, which they hurled at nearby parked cars, as well as lighter fluid, matches and firewood. They set a newspaper tube on fire at a home on Downing Street, and lit a wood fire in the grass in front of North Bend Elementary. Around 3:30 a.m., a witness noticed burning trash cans at the North Bend Library. Around the same time, someone poured lighter fluid, and what police believe to be urine, into three truck gas tanks at the Chaplins North Bend Chevrolet lot, Toner said.

What's cooler than a fivefoot replica of the Death Star made from Legos? If you ask Dan Parker, aka Dan the Lego Man, it's what he'll be doing this weekend at Snoqualmie's Railroad Days. Parker is planning a railroadthemed Lego creation for his appearance at Railroad Days, with running trains set up in a little town, complete with a historic building from the Northwest Railway Museum—"We're not up to taking on the depot itself," he said. Kids can watch as Parker hand-sets bricks for the final details of his creation, then move over to the Lego table to building something of their own in this exhibit, set for the freight room at the museum.
