River renewal
Fall City residents rally to clean up their stretch of the Snoqualmie with help from rafters–and artists By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter
On a warm sunny day, you might think about taking a trip to the river, and you’d have plenty of company. On that same warm day, while you’re floating gently down the Snoqualmie, Del and Nancy Moore might be making two or three trips to the river. That’s what it takes, some weekends, to keep the put-in and take-out areas free of litter, to both welcome and set an example for the next group of rafters to visit Fall City. “Nobody else is doing it,” says Del, a longtime Fall City resident and member of the Fall City Community Association. The Moores are acting for the FCCA when they visit the Plum 1 put-in, the Plum 2 boat launch, and a couple of takeout sites within Fall City on high river traffic days, to tidy up See RIVER, 5

No bond, either for a replacement middle school or a high school remodel, will be coming to voters this February. The board of the Snoqualmie Valley School District agreed on Thursday, Aug. 30, that they didn’t have enough time to properly plan and campaign for a bond in time for the February election. Board president Dan Popp noted that the board hadn’t discussed the issue for several weeks, and had achieved no resolution on the purpose of the bond at their last work session. Board members had debated both a new middle school—deemed unnecessary by opponents of the freshmancampus concept, and a remodeled high school— deemed impractical, disruptive and expensive by supporters of the SCOTT HODGINS campus concept. SVSD 410 School Calling it “nearly impossible to Board member achieve, and have that kind of dialog with the community,” board member Scott Hodgins agreed that the board could not pursue a February bond issue. “I want to pass a bond issue, though, for sure,” he added. A replacement middle school bond was one of Hodgins’ conditions last February to support the decision to proceed with the annexation of Snoqualmie Middle School. See BOND, 7

Snoqualmie officers emphasize safety in speed patrol on Parkway By Seth Truscott Editor
The car crests the hill doing nearly 50 miles an hour. By the time the driver notices Nigel Draveling, seated atop the bed of his black Snoqualmie Police truck, separated from him by a line of stop-and-go commuter traffic, it’s too late to avoid a ticket. “I lock them first,” said Draveling, who lowers his laser radar gun and radios the car’s make and license to a trio of other officers in wait down the hill. Moments later, an officer makes contact, ready with a speeding ticket for the 30-mph zone. The late summer morning commute was livelier than normal on Snoqualmie Parkway due to Officer Draveling’s presence. Snoqualmie police had received several complaints about speeders and aggressive driving on the highway end of the parkway, so the officers set up the first of several speed patrols near the interchange to discourage bad behavior behind the wheel. That means Draveling and company were ready to hand out $247 speeding tickets to flagrant speeders. All in all, four officer handed out six tickets, one warning and a criminal citation in two hours’ work. Other speed patrols have followed as the summer ends and children go back to school. Those patrols will impress on drivers the need to respect school zones, pay attention
to surroundings and most importantly, slow down. When you drive slower, you see more: “Your eyes will open to everything,” Draveling said. Drivers headed into Snoqualmie also get some attention. Draveling parks on the shoulder of the Parkway, pointing north, and activates his rear-facing radar. The device monitors a stream of drivers doing 40-plus uphill. A passing white car doing 47 miles per hour gets his attention. He pulls the car over, checks the license, and discovers that the driver’s license has been suspended by the state for unpaid tickets. The woman’s mouth drops open as Draveling explains that she’ll have to call a relative to drive her car, and that a citation is coming in the mail. Draveling and fellow officers also hear excuses from drivers for their speeds, some believable, others less so; an alleged rush for the bathroom appear to be fairly common. But with one warning issued for six tickets, the officers don’t seem to be easily put off. Draveling said patrols like these make for a safer community. Speed limits are set for a reason. Speed causes accidents, and speeding drivers can’t react to changing conditions. As officers work the Parkway this summer and fall, both days and nights, drivers will notice and change their behavior for a while. Ultimately, officers need to keep making the rounds to keep drivers vigilant. “You keep circling your hotspots,” Draveling said. To get the message across, “You have to be out in the public.” Pulling over a car, Draveling angles his

Citizen complaints about fast, aggressive drivers prompted increased patrols on Snoqualmie Parkway. vehicle to protect him in case a driver fails to notice the stop. When you see a police car flashing lights on the roadside, “slow down and change lanes so we can get home to our families, too,” Draveling said.

I am writing in response to “Tell us why we need a hospital,” published on August 22. For residents in our community who haven’t visited Snoqualmie Valley Hospital recently, we are an entirely different and better organization than we were several years ago. Just like the Snoqualmie Valley has changed and grown in the past decade, we have grown too. In fact, patient volumes have increased dramatically during the past few years to the point we are bursting at the seams. Our mission is to “promote the health and well-being of people in our community by providing quality care in a collaborative environment.” We do this every day by providing round-the-clock hospital care, a fully functional, 24-hour emergency department staffed by physicians, an on-site pharmacy, lab, imaging, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services and endoscopy services. We also have four local clinics that provide a broad range of primary and specialty care services including pediatrics and women’s health. We work closely with all of our regional hospital partners, including Swedish of Issaquah, to provide the full range of health care to our residents. The Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, in cooperation with our regional partners, serves different needs, different communities and provides distinct services to our respective patients. We invite you to take a tour of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital or visit our clinics to see for yourself the high level of service we provide to our community. We are proud to be here for you and to serve all of your health care needs.

Food Bank campaign
Food Bank’s Summer Cupboard continues to feed children, with your help Hunger is a year-round concern, yet summer presents an even greater challenge to families with school-age children, normally the recipients of free breakfasts and lunches throughout the school year. In 2011, Mount Si Food Bank started the Summer Cupboard program in an effort to address this nutritional gap. During the weeks of summer, families with school age children received additional breakfast, lunch and snack items along with their regular groceries. This year, we extended an invitation to our community to support Summer Cupboard. We want to thank the following contributors for their outstanding efforts in making it a success: Snoqualmie Elementary School, Kidz Bounce, Snoqualmie Falls Brewery, Mount Si Lutheran Church and Genie Industries. Collectively, we raised nearly $5,000 and collected over 200 pounds of kid-friendly food. It is with this community support that we are able to provide nutritious food that is crucial for healthy child development, growth and learning. If you are interested in learning more about Summer Cupboard or supporting the Mount Si Food Bank please visit our website at mtsifoodbank.org or contact us at (425) 888-0096.

• Is it time to combine the Valley’s two small, rural school districts? Consolidation is now being investigated and the two school district boards want to hear what parents and taxpayers think. • King County staff members, working on the Snoqualmie Community Plan, ended up agreeing with the plan’s citizen advisory committee that Weyerhaeuser’s Snoqualmie Ridge proposal is inappropriate for the area. The Ridge isn’t consistent with the group’s design for the area, lead planner Mary Lynn Myer said.

Del was correct when he said that, but things have changed. Nobody aside from the FCCA had been doing much about the trash that some careless floaters left behind after their days of recreation, until a couple of weeks ago when an online conversation on the Fall City Community group brought out the best in the community’s residents. Since then, FCCA has received another $400 in unsolicited donations to build additional trash bins for the most popular river access points, Fall City Arts has enlisted volunteers for its Sept. 22 river clean-up and treasurehunt event, and one Boy Scout troop has announced plans
to do an end-of-season float down the river to pick up litter, as well. “I was shocked,” Del says, of the response from the community. He had posted a message to the community group around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 7, to update readers on the FCCA’s ongoing efforts to keep the river areas clean—mainly the trash bins which the Moores kept tidy, replacing bags as they were filled and picking up the parking lots—and to gently remind the group that most of the floaters were courteous, and grateful for the cleanup work. He noted that the FCCA planned to apply for a county grant to build more trash bins for next summer and, half-joking, asked if there were any “angels” in the group

who might want to help. Then he logged off, and embarked on a busy day of errands. The online group members got busy, too, pledging their own money and challenging others to do the same. By the time Del got home that evening, the group had pledged more than $400, enough for six new trash bins and to reimburse Del for the one he built at his own expense, along with some volunteer help to build them. “I got home and Nancy told me ‘You’ve got to get online!’” Del said, laughing. Thenextday,DelandNancy, who is the recording secretary for the FCCA, met with a group of the volunteers and contributors, including Kirk Harris of the Fall City Parks Commission, Cindy Spiry, the director of the Natural Resources Department for the Snoqualmie Tribe, and ‘trash angel’ volunteer Nancy Myhre, to illustrate how the bins are built, and how they help. Most rafters, the Moores said, are responsible, and clean up after themselves, especially now that they have a convenient way to do it. “We have actually gone out of our way to talk face to face with people on the bank, and we have seen that most people are very cooperative,” Del said. “They’ll often thank us for what we’re doing, here and along the road,” said Nancy. Also, she said, “The people that use it aren’t just the floaters. A lot of local families come here, too.” Not, however, the Moores. “He doesn’t want to go in
a tube,” says Nancy, just as Del is saying “I’m campaigning for a new boat!” Regardless of their vehicle, river users had no convenient places to dispose of the wrappers for their new rafts and tubes on the way in, nor their empty beverage containers on the way out, and litter was scattered along the river before the FCCA got involved. Fall City is unincorporated, with no formal government to address this type of problem. Three summers ago, the FCCA decided to tackle the issues of “trash, sanitation, parking and traffic, and an overlooked police presence,” Del said. Next year, they were going to get bigger, applying for a grant to fund new trash bins. That, of course, was already taken care of by the community—“which means now we can apply for a grant for something else!” says Del. “Parking is a problem, and they do walk into the street,” she said, sighing. Del thought “Pack it in, pack it out” signs might be helpful. Two new bins have been built already, so each site the FCCA manages has at least one trash container available, with more to come. The Moores are still taking responsibility for keeping the sites cleaned up and have perfected their technique: Del ties off the full bags of trash and puts empty bags into the cans, while Nancy makes the rounds of the parking lot to pick up stray garbage. The FCCA meets the second Friday of each month; learn more at www.fallcity.org.

Now grown, with years of letter writing between them, she needs him again. Recovering from an illness, Therese is advised to leave the Pacific Northwest rain behind and return to the Grecian sun, sea—and Miklos. Bastedo is an active member of a local writing group, is married and has a large family. She tells writers to find others to share their dreams and enrich them.

BOND FROM 1 At the Feb. 8 board meeting, Hodgins requested the board table a vote on the annexation until the bond issue was resolved. “I think we do need another middle school… I don’t want to leave here tonight without that second motion (for the bond),” he said at that meeting.
Although board members unanimously voted in favor of the bond then, the annexation vote was 3 to 2. Hodgins, Dan Popp and Marci Busby voted in favor; Geoff Doy and Carolyn Simpson voted against. At the August meeting, board members agreed to discuss the possibility of an April bond in their next work session, tentatively scheduled for Sept. 15.

Curtis starts write-in campaign for U.S. Representative Dave Reichert, former King County Sheriff, is running for his fifth term as the Eighth District U.S. congressman. Reichert, a Republican from Auburn, faces Democrat Karen Porterfield of Issaquah in the Nov. 7 general election. North Bend resident and martial arts teacher Jim Curtis recently hung posters around town, as a write-in candidate for Reichert’s U.S. Rep, District 8, seat. In an e-mail, Curtis said he differs from Reichert on issues such as extending legislation to help Gold Star families and support for the Affordable Care Act. “I am a Marine Corps combat veteran who was wounded in action over in Vietnam and also a very strong advocate for our military troops as well as all military veterans,” Curtis stated. “I know I would be a much stronger voice for all of these true American heroes than Reichert has been during his time in office.” Curtis has not officially filed. According to the Washington Secretary of State’, votes for any write-in candidate are not tallied unless the sum of all write-in, blank and over-voted responses have the potential of changing the outcome of the election.

Sandy Horvath photography workshop offers ‘basics’
We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children to be treated.
Seasoned photographer Sandy Horvath will help students master their digital cameras. In each three-hour session, Horvath covers the lenses, settings and exposures that transform snapshots into high-quality pictures. Beginners work with their own digital cameras, in small classes, to apply the principles behind framing, focusing and lighting. Horvath will also demonstrate how to optimize shots on automatic settings or with a manually-set aperture value. Students are then sent out to shoot a list of assigned photos. Workshops will be held at SnapShot Sandy’s office studio in North Bend, or at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery. Cost is $59 for a three-hour workshop. Visit www.snapshotsandy.com for details.
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.

Catherine slowed the pace of the world with her simple loving compassion for the lord and her people. She celebrated life on a daily, peaceful existence and thought it not necessary to celebrate her life with any memorial service.

The beautiful game Masters-level player, Fall City’s Linda Lasure, finds joy in game after 30 years By Seth Truscott Editor
When young Linda Lasure was 7, she asked her dad if she could learn to milk the cow. Her dad was doubtful. “He said, ‘Oh, you probably won’t be able to milk the cow when you’re 27,’” she said. “I sat there and milked away. He liked that fine.” Her dad, Lasure said, never put too many expectations on her, simply because she was female. But that simply wasn’t going to do for her. “I’ve just been doing this all along,” Lasure “It’s difficult to said. “I’m not gonna sit get completely around.” lost in something, Fast forward to today, so that everything and Lasure still hasn’t is suspended. But slowed down.

Fall City’s Linda Lasure is a member of a winning women’s soccer team, the Baby Boomers, a group of women age 65 and older from the greater Seattle area. On July 14, the Baby Boomers won the first-ever women’s Over 65 Division of the Masters Futbol Soccer Tournament in Bellingham, Wash. Lasure is the second player from the left in the front row. The team was organized by player manager Maj Surowieckia, 70, of Issaquah, seen in the first row at far right. team. Lasure and the rest of the Baby Boomers won their championship this year, and Lasure continues to play the game, loving it even after 32 years on the pitch.
Beautiful game Made up of women age 65 and older from the Seattle area, the Boomers won the first ever women’s Over 65 Division of the Masters Futbol Soccer Tournament in Bellingham last July. In the final game, the Baby Boomers beat a California team, Be Still Standing, by a score of 6 to 0. The Boomers meet and play a few times a
year; they’re all members of over-50 teams that have regular seasons. Lasure is part of the Fab 50, mostly Eastside residents. She also plays in an over-55 club of sorts that numbers just enough players for two teams. Players draw cards from a deck, red or black, to determine which team they’re on. The random draw can make for some surprises. Sometimes, there aren’t enough forwards, for example, to go around. The players have to improvise. See BEAUTIFUL, 15

Lasure, who holds a doctorate in genetics, plays alongside grandmothers, homemakers, teachers, bankers and businesswomen. She’s bonded to the sport because of its team dynamic. To her, soccer deserves its appellation of “The Beautiful Game.” “There is something about it that’s difficult to describe,” she said. Part of it is the fact that game scores, at any age, are always so close. It’s rare at any level for a game to be a blowout. And there are few superstar egos in this team affair. “You have to bring the ball down and share the ball,” Lasure said. “To keep playing on a team, as you get older, you have to find ways to use people’s strengths,” Lasure said. “Young or old, you still have the distribution of skill levels and abilities—how far you can kick, how well you play defense, how competitive you are.”
Changing times

Lasure has had opportunities that her parents’ generation never had. And she faced obstacles that today’s girl soccer players probably can’t imagine. “I grew up in Oklahoma, and there were no sports for women. None,” Lasure said. “I didn’t play any sports in high school.” Her first sports experience came in college, on club basketball and softball teams. Lasure started playing soccer at 33. At the time, she worked for Miles Laboratories in Elkhart, Ind. There weren’t many sports available for women at the time, but some people in nearby South Bend, Ind., put together some women’s teams. Lasure joined them, and her lifetime love of soccer found its start. “I’ve always been a person who exercises,” Lasure said. She makes sure she gets plenty of aerobic exercise in the days before a game, and does strengthening exercises for her knees. She still walks
and runs. One duty that keeps her in shape is the physical work of caring for 14 alpacas at Lasure’s farm, Big Rock Candy Mountain.
On the pitch At games, Lasure laces on her cleats and shinguards, dons her purple jersey, and hits the field, sometimes for two full 45-minute halves. She plays soccer twice each week. “If we’re lucky, we’ll have a sub,” she says. But a breather, thanks to a substitute player, isn’t always a given. “People have busy lives,” Lasure explained. There’s no coach, but organizing players may make strategy suggestions. Most teammates are deeply experienced. They know where they need to be. The games are refereed by professionals, often younger men, who are sometimes taken aback by their charges. “We have really young guys that get really giggly sometimes, because they’ve got all these gray-haired ladies making jokes,” Lasure said. The best refs, she said, get in and participate in the event of an injury. “We’re very grateful to these young guys,” Lasure said. “We make sure we thank them.” When an opponent isn’t too challenging, play slows down, to avoid a blowout. But when things get competitive, and they do, Lasure and her teammates really move. “There’s always some young ones coming in, trying to take the ball away—there’s some young ones that get really mad because they can’t get around
these old ladies.” On the pitch, Lasure is a poacher as a forward. She has a good right foot, and snags rebounds or loose balls near the net. She contributed two goals in the championship finale with Be Still Standing this summer. Despite their gray hairs, players’ tempers can get just as hot as younger players’. “I’ve never seen a red card given, but I have personally been confronted with players that get so mad, the referee said, ‘You have to stop it,’” she said. In today’s game, “You’re on forgiving surfaces,” Lasure added. Most of the regional playfields that the Boomers and Lasure’s over-50 team practice and play on are artificial turf. That’s a far cry from the hard, dusty real turf fields she started on here two decades ago. “In the last 15 years, the fields around here have been improved. They’re all pretty magnificent,” Lasure said. Asked whether she feels that what she does is inspiring, Lasure thinks for a moment. Other people could do what she does, she answers, if they wanted to. “There are people on my team who keep playing because they like the game,” she said. “It’s a way of getting exercise (by) doing something, rather than going to the gym and riding a cycle.” Soccer remains a highlight of her week, even after three-plus decades of play. “It’s difficult to get completely focused and lost in something, so that everything else is suspended,” Lasure said. “But in a soccer game, that’s what happens.”
