Two years ago, homelessness wasn’t an issue in the Valley. “This time last year, nobody knew there were homeless in the woods,” says Owen Rooney, an advocate for the homeless through River Outreach, a local ministry. Last month, about 50 people, mostly from Valley churches, started talking about how to help these people, through the winter and beyond. See Shelter, 10

Tribe’s hotel plan is up to the members Expansion could be 20-story tower, or a boutique By Seth Truscott Editor

Whether it’s 20 stories or a boutique lodge, members of the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe will pick the size and scope of a proposed hotel expansion at Snoqualmie Casino. Tribal Administrator Matt Mattson says the nature of the venue is still very much in play. See HOTEL, 8

More than its parts

People come together in a big way every December for One VOICE drive that helps hundreds By Seth Truscott Editor

The man who gave the present won’t ever meet the boy who received it. But the One VOICE volunteers who discovered the thoughtfully assembled, carefully wrapped bag, meant for a teenage recipient and left under one of the Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis Club’s Giving Trees last week, are cer-

tain that this gesture will be treasured. The Bed, Bath and Beyond bag was tightly tied. Inside were a digital voice recorder, an LED microscope, magnetic dartboards and a travel alarm clock, among other presents. Volunteers could tell the giver took his time. “I don’t know you,” read the personal note inside, “but you’re 17 years old. I picked out some things I thought you would like.” This special gift was one of hundreds that came in for the One VOICE Holiday Event, a drive that shares and household items with needy families in the Valley. More than 40 clubs, businesses and churches take part. See VOICE, 3

VOICE FROM 1 They work together to make the Holiday Event much more than the sum of its parts.

Playing Santa Thursday night, it was Paul Tredway’s job to drive to the store and play Santa: Picking up a carload of toys to flesh out the Giving Tree donations for One VOICE. “You’re never too old to buy toys. It’s great fun,” says Tredway, a member of Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis and an officer of the club’s state organization. It’s been a while since Tredway bought toys for his own kids, so he loves company in making selections at local shops or the big box stores in Issaquah. The local Kiwanis will probably spend at least $3,500 on toys for the One VOICE drive through the holidays. While clothing and household product donations were up for the Holiday Event, toy donations were down from last year. That means that volunteers like Tredway seek to fill the gap. One VOICE organizer Stacey Cepeda expects no children will go without a Christmas toy. “I don’t think Kiwanis would let that happen,” she says. “People didn’t give as much, but at the same time, we have more demand,” says Tredway. It’s a combination of people not quite giving as much this year, and the fact that prices for items have risen. “Certainly, the families who are getting gifts and are able to get things for their households are extremely pleased,” said Tredway. “We just wish we had a little bit more.” Still, “Our community always steps up,” Tredway says. “The families who are served are very appreciative.” Tredway describes this work as fulfulling. “You join a service organization to do these kinds of things,” he says. “That’s why you join a service organization—to help. We’re very lucky that we’ve been able to do these kinds of things extremely well.” After days of work, he and other volunteers are tired but happy: “Exhausted, but it’s a good exhausted,” Tredway says.

Coming together The Holiday Event fills the North Bend Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for about four days, as volunteers fill practically every room with goods. Families came through Thursday and Friday, Dec. 13 and 14, choosing gifts. Each family has a set number of points per person to ‘buy’ items with. More expensive presents cost more points. Like Tredway, Kim Irvine was tired after a day of setting up the Holiday Event, but full of praise for her volunteers. Some new this year, others old hands, they’re all ready and willing to give of their

Warm hearts: Diane Garding, Kim Irvine and Ruth Athay, members of the North Bend Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, volunteer to ready the toy and clothing rooms at the One VOICE Holiday Event on Wednesday, Dec. 12. The donation drive has helped hundreds of families for two years. time for the better part of a week during a busy and often stressful season, Irvine says. The families that come and benefit, “a lot of them are humble,” Irvine says. “It’s a tough thing to admit you need help to make ends meet and have your children happy.” Inside the North Bend LDS Church, nearly every room is in use. The main meeting rooms are packed with clothing and toys. There are fewer toys than last year, but more clothing for families, Irvine says: “It’s a good assortment.” Asked what here warms her heart the most, Irvine looks around, heads past the big toy sets and clothing to the raffle room, where some donors have placed big-ticket items including bikes, a wagon and powered vehicles for tots. These are given away at random, to keep things fair. There’s also a row of gift bags for teens assembled by Rotarians, stuffed with accessories and high-tech goodies for the older set. What here makes the most impact? “It depends on the person,” says Ellen Stensland, another volunteer. “Each person likes different things.” She loved crayons and coloring books, but notes the loaded tables of games, for both the little ones and older children. A big stack of boots, donated by Costco, will also probably make a warm difference for families. Sorting the teen aisle, volunteer Cherise Athay, 23, says the beauty products would make a young person happy. “It probably seems shallow. But remembering my teen years, that’s what catches my eye,” she said.

In Brief

Body of missing Bellevue man found below Snoqualmie Falls A 56 year-old Bellevue man was found dead Sunday afternoon at Snoqualmie Falls. The man had been missing for three days, according to his wife, who contacted Bellevue Police early Sunday afternoon. “She called us around 1 and said the last time she’d seen him was on the 13th,” said Bellevue Police spokesperson Carla Iafrate. “They had a brief argument, they’ve had some marital problems, and he said he was going to go for a drive. There was nothing unusual.” Bellevue police attempted to locate the man’s cellphone, and got a “ping” at Snoqualmie Falls, so they contacted local police for assistance. Snoqualmie Police located the man’s car in the Falls overlook parking lot at about 2 p.m. Sunday. “I guess they looked around and located what looked like a body at

dates back more than 20 years. Every November, club members place trees with card ornaments around the Valley—the cards are gift suggestions for different age groups in needy families. But in the last two years, the Kiwanians joined Encompass and a slate of other groups to pool resources for holiday drives. It’s all about avoiding the duplication of effort. As part of One VOICE (the acronym stands for Valley Organizations in Collective Effort), every club, church and business can focus better to help others. One VOICE focuses on two yearly events: A resource fair, held in June, which collects summer items like flip flops and clothing, and the Holiday Event, which gathers toys and coats. Both events also gather family basics such as hygiene products and books. Last Christmas, the One VOICE event served about 800 children. This year is shaping up to be very similar. With 255 families and some 630 children receiving gifts through last Friday, the Kiwanis will serve families through Christmas, handling latecomers. “There will be people who missed out on this, and we’ll have stuff for them,” Tredway said. • For more information about One VOICE, contact Stacey Cepeda, at (425) 888-2777 or stacey.cepeda@encompassnw.org, or visit the One VOICE Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ OneVoiceSnoqualmieValley>. • To help the Kiwanis meet last minute gift needs, contact Paul Tredway at (425) 531-1383. Donors are welcome to deliver unwrapped gifts and gift cards, or money donations, to the Sallal Water Association office, 44021 S.E. Tanner Rd., Suite E, in North Bend.

the bottom of the falls, 280 feet down,” said Iafrate. Rescue teams from Mountain Rescue and the King County Sheriff ’s Office were called to retrieve the body, and just before 9 p.m. Iafrate said Snoqualmie police called Bellevue with a positive identification of the man as the missing person.

New county plan calls for 80 percent greenhouse gas cut by 2050 The King County Council recently approved a Strategic Climate Action Plan, a blueprint to address climate change. Tackling transportation, land use, forests, agriculture and energy, the SCAP integrates moves underway across county government and identifies targets, performance measures and priority actions going forward. Overall, King County aims to reduce countywide greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80 percent below 2007 levels by 2050. You can read more about this legislation at http://mkcclegisearch. kingcounty.gov; type in “2012-0248.”

When he started in law enforcement 30 years ago, Steve McCulley wouldn’t have predicted the day when smoking marijuana would be legal. But last month, Initiative 502 changed things. Backed by 55 percent of state voters, I-502 makes it legal to possess marijuana, in certain quantities. Snoqualmie police are adjusting to 502’s new rules, which took effect Dec. 6. McCulley, Snoqualmie’s Chief of Police, says his department will observe the letter of the law while maintaining strict enforcement for drivers and youth. For local cops, most marijuana busts are on a low, misdemeanor level. Snoqualmie police typically encounter marijuana when they notice paraphernalia or the drug itself in traffic stops. Before I-502, this would result in a ticket and possible fine. Confiscated marijuana, meanwhile, is held as evidence and eventually burned at an incinerator in Spokane. Now, under new the law, adults are allowed to have marijuana: An ounce of the plant itself, 72 ounces (the equivalent of a six-pack) of marijuana-infused liquid, such as oil, or 16 ounces of a product containing marijuana, such as a brownie. It’s still illegal to smoke marijuana publicly, or to display it. McCulley said he considers a car to be a public space— there’s no expectation of privacy, he says, behind your car windows. Anyone who smokes pot in public may face a ticket. The Washington Liquor Control board has until December of next year to come up with rules for the licensed manufacture, delivery and sale of marijuana. Until those rules are established, even though possession of marijuana is legal, “there’s no way to legally buy it until next December,” McCulley said. “It’s kind of an oxymoron... Our stance is going to be strict enforcement, like we do with alcohol, for people who are underage. It may be legal for adults,” but as for teens: “They’re not like an adult yet.” McCulley has also asked that the city update its codes to ban sales licenses for anything that’s illegal under federal law, such as marijuana. For police, I-502 is a game-changer. Supporters of the initiative suggested that the legalization measure would help divorce illegal elements and criminal organizations from marijuana. That remains to be seen, says McCulley. Legalized marijuana, he concedes, may be a safer product—otherwise, “how do you know what you’re smoking?” McCulley says a safe community remains his number one priority. “We’re bound to support what’s legal under this law, but also to aggressively enforce what’s not legal,” he said. “That’s always going to be our stance. Especially with people under 21.”

What end of the world? Real, scary life rolls onward

www.valleyrecord.com

hank heavens that last Saturday, I had a Christmas party to attend where real families and happy children celebrated each other’s company. It was a moment free of violence, worry and fear, and felt like a breath of fresh air, a moment of the real, and an escape from a weekend of saturation news coverage of a national tragedy. I am thankful for that. A week or so ago, it seemed like you couldn’t escape all the silliness over the December 21, 2012, end-ofthe-world prophecies. Then, real madness happened. Originally, I wrote this week’s column as a tonguein-cheek look at the doomsday prophecies current as we approach the centennial. Just try to count the colorful concepts: The “13th Bak’tun” of the Mayan’s super-long 5,125-year calendar, or the New Agers’ cosmic moment of spiritual awakening. But the thing is, there aren’t any signs of the end times, not in the Valley. And it’s wrongheaded to Seth Truscott look at recent launch of North Valley Record Korea’s ballistic missile, or even the Editor Newton, Conn., massacre, truly evil as it is, as signs of the end. Apocalyptic, perhaps—that word means “revelation.” Indeed, I hope some truths have been revealed, about the fact that life is precious, and that we should bravely seize every day we’re given, and be more aware as citizens, not less. I suppose you can always see signs of celebration and trepidation—end-times related, if you will—if you look hard enough. A few miles down the road toward Tiger Mountain, the Fraternity Snoqualmie nudist camp is hosting an end-times party where you can “Go out the way you came in,” in your birthday suit. Our world and our times are constantly changing. Bold new initiatives have been passed in Washington state. We’ve got some big changes coming in our schools. Our cities are growing. It’s likely true that our weather is changing. Some folks might see the big changes in our lives and world as ominous—as omens. But how much of this is in the eye of From Facebook the beholder? What would you do if the We seek meaning world really were calling it and transformation quits? “ I would spend the time with in our lives, and that a magic day that my boys and my loved ones. Maybe enjoy this beautiful place could bring such things is something we call home one last time.” anybody might —Rachel crave. But you have “Not much you could do about to make our own it.” change. And that —Allen change, personal “Sit back... relax... and enjoy!” or public, from —Joe losing weight after Christmas to opening a local homeless shelter or a new kind of school, always brings positives as well as challenges. We shouldn’t flee and bury our heads in fear. What happened in Newtown was incomprehensible and tragic. I have my doubts about whether gun bans or armed elementary school guards, or any tactic other than the slow approach of education about vigilance and nonviolence will make any difference in the long-term safety of our schools. It’s a shame on our nation that these things always happen in schools. Yet life, and learning, must continue. When Dec. 21 comes, don’t hide in the basement—face the day. The scary, beautiful world will be rolling on.

Too good to waste Fall City Elementary pupils pilot ways to keep food out of the trash The holidays are here, ushering in loads of good cheer but also loads of food waste—from leftovers to holiday baked goods. Just in time to highlight this issue for the holidays, King County, in partnership with Fall City Elementary, recently concluded its pilot outreach program aimed at helping families reduce the amount of food that goes to waste at home. Student families reduced their weekly food waste by 20 percent over five weeks by learning new strategies to waste less. King County plans to use what was learned in the “Food: Too Good to Waste”

pilot when launching a county-wide public education outreach effort next year. The average American family of four tosses out more than 25 percent of the food they purchase and even more at the holidays, adding up to more than $1,600 a year per household, says Karen May, project manager. “The Fall City families who participated in the pilot are a testament to the fact that by making small shifts in how we shop, prepare and store food, we can keep this valuable resource from going to waste,” she said. Edible food typically goes to waste because of overbuying, improper food storage, tossing out leftovers or cooking too much. County staff introduced a new food waste prevention strategy to Fall

This fall, Fall City Elementary students learned strategies to cut food waste, including ways to make a better shopping list, store fruit and vegetables properly, and pack a waste-free lunch. They got their photo taken in a pizza party following the unit. City Elementary families each week of the program, including ways to make a better shopping list, store fruit and vegetables properly, and even pack a wastefree lunch. “I think the kids, parents and the community benefited from participating in this program,” said Jennifer Curd, mother of one of the fourth grade students. “It helped raise our awareness of how much food we were really wasting and we found new ways to not only save food from the landfill but also save money on our grocery bill.” King County single family households outside the city of Seattle on average dispose of 42 pounds of food scraps and compostable paper per month. Some of that food, such as banana peels, egg shells or chicken bones, is best composted since it cannot be eaten. But a significant amount of the wasted food is edible before it spoils or is otherwise not eaten and thrown away. The “Food: Too

Reducing food waste • For big holiday meals, reduce the amount of side vegetable dishes you serve – sweet potatoes, broccoli and green beans, for example – by half or one-third. Most people eat small portions of those veggies, if any, preferring to feast instead on the main attractions such as turkey, dressing, potatoes and gravy. • Distribute leftovers to guests to take home, based on what they like. • Whenever possible, freeze leftovers that you know you won’t have time to eat. For example, you can freeze leftover turkey for up to four months or a slice of baked fruit pie for up to eight months. • Consider donating non-perishable food you don’t use for the big dinner or party to your local food bank. • If you do end up with food that’s gone bad, be sure to place all those food scraps into your curbside yard waste cart. • Learn more at KCgreenholidays.com.

A MODERN DAY MERCANTILE! Old Time Charm!

Tribe’s respect for the Falls My mother was a spiritual leader in our Snoqualmie Tribe. I come from many who have worked before me to carry teachings from our culture. Respect is foremost. Living your culture and teachings is another. I have in my lifetime dedicated my time and energy and spirit to preserving, protecting and celebrating the great gift of the creator, Snoqualmie Falls, “For All People, For All Time”. Last Monday evening, I addressed the Snoqualmie City Council, asking them to delay a vote that would initiate the process toward the construction of the Tokul roundabout. This expensive and poorly planned “improvement” will greatly impact the area that is Snoqualmie Falls. It will open the door for further development. Insincere too-late apologies by city officials belie the bridgebuilding that is still needed for this Valley to prosper in a coordinated and respectful manner that will benefit us all. Our futures are intertwined in ways that demand that we find a better way to create the future, building relationships and part-

Schools, malls should be protected using firearms Why are fire extinguishers legally required in all buildings open to the public? Answer: to provide people in such places with an effective tool to keep a small emergency from becoming a tragedy. The same reasoning that resulted in nation-wide adoption of those regulations can and ought to be applied to effectively reduce the magnitude of mayhem committed by armed assailants, whether in schools, malls, nursing homes, theaters, etc. Does this mean requiring a firearm be available to the staff of such venues? Yes. Does this mean requiring training of staff members in the proper use of firearms to stop an attacker? Yes, just as staff members in hospitals are presently required by law to be trained in the use of fire extinguishers. No other effective means exists to reduce the number of victims killed in these atrocities. If you, the reader, just sit on your hands and do nothing to see to the passage of this regulation don’t blame anyone but yourself for the next 26 innocent deaths. And the next. And the next. Let us, as a nation, pray as if everything depends upon God, and act as if everything depends on us. I just did. Your turn. Ernest Jenner North Bend

nerships honoring the history of Snoqualmie Falls. I am asking those with ears to hear, to really pay attention to what the city government is doing in the name of its citizens. Snoqualmie Falls is like no other; it is recognized nationally and globally as a sacred place. It is deserving of consideration and respect by the city of Snoqualmie — not to be misused as a pawn in a revenue ploy. There are some things that have nothing to do with money. They are the most important in our lives.

see our elected officials actually govern, rather than obstruct. Governing requires that the interests of the country and its citizens be placed above the moneyed interests of contributors, large donors, and politicians. The self-inflicted damage done by the unnecessary and unprecedented debt ceiling debate last year cost our country almost $2 billion. This is how willing the Republicans are to hurt people and to hurt our country’s economy, simply because they can. The election is over. President Obama was reelected. I hope Dave Reichert, our representative in the US House of Representatives, will sign the discharge petition to force an up or down vote on the bill already passed by

the Senate extending tax cuts for every single person in this country who pays taxes, on the first $250,000 they earn. I believe Representative Reichert respects his role as an elected official and recognizes that he has an obligation to govern rather than obstruct. To not do so would be to place minority interests above the best interests of our country and the people Dave Reichert swore an oath to represent. Government is, and must be, part of the solution and Mr. Reichert is in a position to help make this true.

Penny Humphrey, center, president of the Friends of the North Bend Library, is honored as the Friend of Year by KCLS Trustee Robin McClellan, Director Bill Ptacek and librarian Irene Wickstrom.

Organizer, leader, trendsetter

Penny Humphrey, President of the Friends of the North Bend Library has been selected as the recipient of this year’s Friend of the Year Award. She joined the Friends group in 2005, then took on the presidency in 2007 and has presided ever since. During her tenure, active membership and meeting attendance has more than doubled. She has guided the group through six annual two-week book sales as tirelessly and enthusiastically as she did during her first year. Even on vacation, Humphrey thinks of the Friends. She shops other library book sales and ‘borrows’ good ideas, such as metal sign holders for the sales tables that identify book genres. She focuses on continuous improvement, including creating a system of boxing and labeling book donations so that set-up is efficient. She also has a procedures checklist that keeps the Friends on track and streamlines sale preparations. She is extremely active in the community, including the Kiwanis club. A grandmother who loves sailing, Humphrey also loves her local library and the King County Library System. Due to her encouragement, the North Bend Friends was the first group to buy e-readers for library staff trainings and demonstrations for the public. An early adapter and traveler, she advocated for e-books and for helping the public understand how to use their new mobile devices. As one of six core members in the group, she enthusiastically supports programs by providing funding and by talking about library activities in all of her community connections. The Friends provide nearly $6,000 in support each year. Humphrey is well-known within the North Bend, Fall City, Snoqualmie Library cluster. Her Purl 1 Listen 2 knitting book club meets at the Snoqualmie Library. And, she is known for her ‘can do’ spirit and ability to cultivate support and mobilize the group. The Friends of the North Bend Library are exceedingly appreciative of Humphrey’s tireless dedication, resourcefulness, leadership and commitment.

Duvall Volunteer of the Year serves the whole Valley Recently, Duvall resident Brian Pattinson was named “Volunteer of the Year” by the city of Duvall. He received the honor for his years of commitment to the arts in the community and in the Riverview School District. Pattinson is a founding member of the Cascade Community Theatre (CCT), a small group of performers, producers and technical gurus, who have entertained the community since 2007. CCT began its journey as the Cheetah Theatre/Riverview Drama Group. After numerous performances, the adult members and volunteers decided it was time for them to regroup and create plays with and for adult cast members. “We decided that the kids shouldn’t be the only ones having all of this fun,” Pattinson explained. With that, Cascade Community Theatre was born, and began producing a variety of productions, including “An Ideal Husband,” “The Odd Couple,” Twelve Angry Men” and the “It’s a Wonderful Life” radio show/play. Pattinson has been involved in each performance. He is not only a selfless volunteer, he is also a talented performer, director, sound/ lighting technician and stage builder, a “jack of all trades,” and integral part of every production. “Brian has been involved in so many community projects over the past few years, it is impossible to count them all,” said Duvall

A 14-year Duvall resident, Brian has the enthusiastic support of his wife Jane and their two daughters, Kira and Amelia.” Cedarcrest drama teacher, Michelle Lewis, who has worked with Pattinson on a variety of productions, described him as “… an instrumental part of the drama program at Cedarcrest. His knowledge, enthusiasm, expertise and dedication in helping make our program successful is outstanding…. He is an exceptionally important part of the CHS drama department.” Pattinson explains his dedication to volunteerism and helping others simply. “I believe it is what we are all here for,” he says.

HOTEL FROM 1 According to Mattson, the tribe has a wide range of options, from hotels large and small to a phased project, and is taking a hard look at all of them. A feasibility study on the number of rooms that the casino site could support is in the works. “Our plan is not in any way set,” Mattson told the Record. “We really are at the most preliminary stages of looking at this. We have a concept,” but no cost projections or blueprints. “What we’re doing in the next few months is gathering information, trying to get greater detail and cost estimates, revenue estimates, to present to the membership in late January or early February. If the membership decides to proceed, we will proceed,” Mattson said. “We’ve talked about something like 300 rooms. We are looking at things even larger than that,” he added. “We could do something that ends up along the lines of 150 rooms.... It’s based on what the market will bear.” With 400 feet of gradient on the hill, Mattson said, a tall hotel could include up to eight stories below the casino floor, depending on placement. To the administrator, more tourism and more visitors are good for the Valley. The tribe has talked with stakeholders including the Mountains to Sound Greenway about the plan, and Mattson said the tribe will consider a comment line or mechanism to communicate with locals. He added that the tribe is committed to the Valley, and has done many good things here. “We’re going to do the best we can to balance business interests with concerns of our neighbors, “ he added. When the casino was built, “we talked to the community about what we were doing, and we did what we said we were going to do,” he said. “We decided to build what we think is the best gaming facility in the Pacific Northwest,” while taking a measured approach to new debt, Mattson said. “We believe we’ve lived up to those things…. “The Valley will be proud of what we do.”

Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson, who attended a November 29 Valley Governments Association dinner where Mattson publicly announced the tribe’s hotel desire, has expressed concern with how construction of a 20-story hotel tower—potentially the tallest building east of Bellevue in King County—would affect his city. While the mayor has not yet had a chance to discuss the matter with council members, Larson told the Record that he doubts that such a tall facility would be supported by many residents. “I don’t think it’s in keeping with the values of the tribe,” he added. The Snoqualmie Tribe contracts with the city for fire and sewer services. Providing fire safety coverage of a tall building would prove challenging, but “sewer, that’s the biggie,” Larson said. “It definitely puts us front and center on this issue.” “If it’s perceived by (city) residents that the Snoqualmie City Council did anything to facilitate construction of a 20-story hotel, we’re going to be held responsible,” the mayor added. Aesthetically, such a tower puts the council into an untenable position, he says. And, apart from infrastructure like fire and sewer contracts, the city has limited capacity to influence a sovereign nation. “All I have here is political influence,” Larson said. “I’d rather find a way to (talk) together and support what they want to do,” he added. “Maybe, discuss with us what we could embrace…. Engage in a dialogue before making that final decision.” Following a Thursday, Dec. 13, meeting with the city, Mattson said both sides agreed to continue talks as the tribe’s plan becomes more fleshed out. The critical decision comes at the next tribal membership gathering. He remembers similar criticism when the casino was proposed. “We told the community what we wanted to build,” the administrator said. “Our intention is to do the same, share it with the community of Snoqualmie and the Snoqualmie Valley… If we have a plan and concept, and if people want to characterize it, it’s a free country.” Until then, he says, criticism of the hotel plans are premature and unfair.

Tokul roundabout tit for tat? Tribe seeks scrutiny for Snoqualmie Falls road fix While the Snoqualmie Tribe’s hotel expansion plan is drawing scrutiny from Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson, that city’s upcoming Tokul roundabout is drawing notes of concern from the tribe’s leaders. Tribal council members urged “caution and care” in the roundabout project, which revamps Highway 202 and could pave the way for new development near the Snoqualmie nation’s most sacred place. Last Monday, Dec. 10, the Snoqualmie City Council approved a key piece of funding for the project, planned for the area between Snoqualmie Falls Park and the State Route 202 bridge. Construction of a single-lane roundabout would include storm drains, lights, pedestrian walkways, landscaping and offsite mitigation. The Snoqualmie Tribe has consistently opposed development at the Falls, which the tribe holds as its creation site. A letter to the city signed by Tribal Chairwoman Shelley Burch and 11 other members of the tribal council calls for safeguards at the Falls, listed in 2009 as a Traditional Cultural Property by the National Register of Historic Places. “There are many development initiatives in the city and this region, but there is only one Snoqualmie Falls,” tribal council members stated. On the city’s to-do list for several years, Tokul Roundabout was a candidate site for state transportation grants in 2009. That crucial funding fell through. Shelved but shovel-ready, that project quickly came onto the front burner this fall, however, as new funding popped into place. On November 16, the city got a Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant for $3 million. The city adds local construction funds of $500,000, and the Muckleshoot Tribe, owners of the Salish Lodge and Spa, adds $1.67 million. The city will go out for bid next February. Mayor Matt Larson said the tribe was fully involved when the roundabout was originally proposed. Larson admits that the tribe should have been notified sooner about the project’s restart earlier this fall. However, “we don’t feel they’ve lost an opportunity to address it,” he added. The mayor says that the project would receive the same scrutiny as a Traditional Cultural Property as it did under eligibility status, which it held during initial planning. The city will commission a new cultural resources assessment to go over the site, “to ensure nothing’s been missed,” Larson said. “We absolutely will take their concerns seriously.”

SHELTER FROM 1 Today, the communities of North Bend, Fall City and Snoqualmie, are about to open their first homeless shelter and, with a modest preliminary budget of $43,000, it may not cost the cities anything. The Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter is a volunteer and church-driven concept that began Tuesday, Nov. 6, when North Bend Police Chief Mark Toner led a meeting of community leaders in a conversation about the homeless. It will be a mobile shelter, moving between host churches, offering meals provided by volunteer church groups, and staffed with trained, paid supervisors from the target opening date of Dec. 22, through the March 7 planned closure. It is also the beginning of a broader discussion on homelessness in the Valley, what residents can do to help, and, most importantly, what they want to do to help.

“I am not advocating a situation where… we make North Bend a capitol of the homeless. I don’t want to do that, and I don’t think any of you want to do that,” said Toner at the initial meeting. “I want to take care of the people we’ve got right here, right now.” For now, that means an emergency winter shelter only, but Toner also encouraged people to think long-term, to the eventual possibility of a year-round shelter, with all of its challenges and the community concerns that go along with it. Community concerns are what prompted that first meeting, Toner said. North Bend businesses and residents were complaining to city officials about the use and abuse of public spaces by some homeless people, from simple loitering to keep warm, to creating health and safety hazards. North Bend City Administrator Londi Lindell told the assembled group that the city did support social services, and said “It’s very compelling to help people that are desperately in need and try really hard. The part that’s difficult for us, because public safety is something we’re responsible for, are those that have drug and alcohol problems…. I’ve got groups right now that volunteer to clean up Tollgate Park who won’t go there any more to do ivy removal, because of the needles that are left there.” Drug use is a problem among the homeless, Toner admitted, and probably more so than among the total population. He noted that any shelter the community developed could set rules against using drugs while in the shelter, and against getting into the shelter while under the influence. The level of “barrier,” or restrictions for entry to the shelter was one of many questions that the group would have to resolve, he added. Other, more basic questions were just as difficult to answer, though. Who the homeless are, how many there are, and what they need are the questions that groups like Rooney’s River Outreach and the Mount Si Food Bank have been working on for years. “Krista (Holmberg, food bank manager) came to us, and we were hearing rumors that there was a homeless population on the river — this was in the summertime about two years back,” said Brian Busby. He began River Outreach with Rooney, challenged by Holmberg and food bank director Heidi Dukich “to set up something specific for the homeless.” Busby and Rooney went to the rumored homeless camp to investigate and make contact, but found hardly anyone, Busby said. Since then, however, the homeless population has increased. They’ve made contacts with more homeless people over time, as they grew their ministry, providing supplies of tents, camp stoves, gift cards for food or batteries, vouchers for showers at the Si View Community Center, vouchers to do laundry, and warm clothes. They also saw more people when they volunteered at the

food bank on Wednesdays, a number Dukich estimates at 40 to 50. Still, Jamey Ferrier, a new addition A public meeting on the to River Outreach this year, said he planned shelter begins was astonished when, at the Nov. 27 at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, meeting, guest speaker Steve Roberts Dec. 20, at North Bend of Congregations for the Homeless Community Church, estimated the homeless population which will host the at 200 to 300 people. shelter. “I’ve heard numbers thrown • For information on around from a dozen to a couple the winter shelter, visit dozen residents,” Busby had said, www.facebook.com/ but the larger number didn’t surprise pages/Snoqualmiehim, considering the entire Valley, Valley-Winter-Shelterand the various definitions of homeSVWS/558106217538255 lessness, ranging from “couch surfers” to “car campers” to people in • For River Outreach tents and under bridges. - b_busby@comcast.net, “To me, if you’re in your car, you’re young-roon@hotmail.com or homeless,” Busby said. ironworkertoo@yahoo.com, And if you’re homeless, they want or call (425) 681-7380 to help, but that can be difficult. Ferrier, a lifelong resident of North Bend, knows many of the resident homeless, and has built relationships with them. “I went to school with some of them, worked with some of them, I have lunch with them sometimes,” he said. However, “They’re kind of evolving, with the city and with the economy,” and they don’t always trust what help may be offered. “A lot of people are defensive, in survival mode,” said Toner. Dukich pointed out that the food bank tries to connect people with services to help them, but adds “A lot of them are in a spot where they’re just trying to get through today.” But helping a homeless person get through the day is the start of helping them get back on their feet, said Roberts, speaking of his experiences running two different homeless shelters in Bellevue. The winter shelter, he said, started with one goal, to save lives by offering people a warm place to stay at night. “When you do that, things start really changing, because the stress of where you’re going to eat, and where you’re going to sleep goes away… Pretty soon they start thinking about other ways you can get out altogether.” Of the 250 people who visited the Bellevue shelter last winter, he said, 46 had already moved on to the next phase, qualifying for transitional housing, and some of them were already living on their own. “It becomes an open door to getting out of homelessness,” Roberts said.

Wins roll on for SMS girls The Snoqualmie 8th grade girls varsity basketball team continues to roll on, extending its undefeated streak to 11-0 over two seasons. In their latest victory over Chief Kanim on Thursday, Dec. 4, Kallin Spiller led the way with 22 points, draining jumpers from the perimeter, and putbacks in the paint. Jillian Chellis was dominant on the inside with 10, Scout Turner tickled the twine from the elbow for 12, Hayden Frederick drove the lane from both sides for 11, and Kelly Keene, bombing from the outside, hit nothing but net from “3” land for another 12.

Pauline Kaczmarek came all the way from France to study at Mount Si High School this year. She’s found a new family in the ranks of the Mount Si gymnastics team, where the senior has been making a name for herself on a squad that’s already packing serious talent. Kaczmarek was among team members who broke into the nines last Thursday, Dec. 13, in a home meet with Sammamish that also featured competition by Bellevue and Newport. Increasingly deep, Mount Si had the highest team score despite some absences, which included Jenn Rogers, the up-and-coming sophomore who was singing in a school concert a few doors down. No matter, as the Wildcats had the talent to dominate. While Sammamish’s Mykaela Davis had the top all-around score, 34.9—the athletic Davis was cheered on by everyone, including the Wildcats—Mount Si athletes filled out much of the top ranks in all four events. Wildcat Hailey Johnson was second overall with 32.9, and had a 9.45 in vault. Things are rapidly coming together for this team, says the sophomore. “Everyone has hit everything,” she said Thursday. “It’s been one of the best meets we’ve had this year.” Newcomers to varsity are proving themselves among the best, says Johnson. She praised Kaczmarek, and believes in her skills. “Pauline is awesome,” Johnson said. “She has become one of my best friends.” Kaczmarek got a 9.4 on vault. Experienced at gymnastics for a decade, she had a break from training this past year to make the U.S. trip. But she’s got her eye on state, and also on long-term education prospects stateside. She’s very pleased with how the team has taken her in. Everyone on this team brings experience, says senior Hannah Richmond. She’s hitting her stride, working on bigger skills with the end of the season in mind. Richmond had to sit it out with a knee injury for half of last year, so she’s making up for lost time, getting a 9.05 on floor. Against Sammamish, “We all needed to bring our A game,” Richmond said. “We definitely did.” Junior Carissa Castagno had her high point of the meet on the floor, scoring a 9.15. “I was really pumped and excited,” she said. “It was a good day.” Gymnastics Dec. 13 All-around stats: Hailey Johnson, 2, 32.9; Pauline Kaczmarek, 3, 32.75; Hannah Richmond, 4, 31.7; Carissa Castagno, 5, 30.85; Maggie Kenow, 6, 30.45; Mackenzie Brown, 7, 30.2; Elizabeth Holmes, 8, 29.4; Cierra Hirsch, 17, 12.2; Ashley Grant, 23, 4.5 on beam.

Holidays in the Valley Roots art Resident artist at Edelweiss Chalet follows tradition, and his heart By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

He’s almost 89 years old, but wood carver and painter Adi Hienzsch makes a point of getting out to his workshop every day. It’s not the holiday season that drives him, but the work itself. In his Edelweiss Chalet studio lined with original paintings, hand-carved doors and statues serve as dividers, and colorful mushrooms and red-hatted gnomes (wurzenmänner, or “root men”) spill into the next room, keeping company with a six-foot cigar store Indian, carvings of the namesake flower and dozens of smaller plaques. There doesn’t seem to be room for anything more, but there is much more, in Adi’s mind. When he walks in the workshop doors each day, he says “I already know something that I want to do. After I have it in my head, then it’s the drawing board.” These days, he doesn’t work as much on big and heavy items like the mushrooms, the Indian, and the solid-wood doors that he used to custom carve to great

demand across the country. But he does work, every day. “Basically, I’m a craftsman, with a lifelong love of carving and painting,” he said, on a recent tour of his studio, just outside of North Bend. “He’s totally self-taught,” adds Eva, his wife and biggest fan. As a child, Adi said he studied painting, but he just picked up carving one day after seeing a woodcarver at work. He’s honed his skill over the years to the point that he’s almost too proud of his work, and keeps too many pieces. “There’s so much in the house, we don’t have enough room,” Eva laughs. So nowadays, everything he makes is for sale, but he’s no less dedicated to each piece. His experience and skill are apparent from a glance at any of his carvings but you’ll get a real appreciation for his memory when you look at the paintings, mostly mountain scenes reminiscent of the couple’s Bavarian hometown of Garmisch. “People ask me if I do these from photographs,” he said, “but at that time, I didn’t even have a camera!” The couple met as youth in Garmisch, and married there after Adi returned from military service in the war, and four years in a Russian POW camp. They had two children, then decided to follow Eva’s sister to Seattle, where Adi could pur-

Meet the Venture Crew Boy Scout crew uses tree lot to fund high adventure

Courtesy photo

The Christmas tree lot at Railroad Avenue and Snoqualmie Parkway is an important activity for Snoqualmie Valley Venture Crew No. 115.

As part of Snoqualmie Valley Venture Crew No. 115, hundreds of local teens have been positively affected by inspiring exceptional volunteer efforts during the past quartercentury. Venturing Crews are a high-adventure branch of

We believe every child should be treated the way we would like our own children to be treated. It is our goal to implement the highest standard of care at every patient encounter whether it is a child’s first visit to the dental office, a teenager who is headed off to college or a special-needs adult patient we’ve been seeing for decades.

the Boy Scouts of America. They include young men and women from ages 14 to 20. Crews are designed to challenge members both physically and mentally and to develop an abiding sense of civic responsibility and commitment. Kim and Anita Ferree founded the crew 25 years ago. Leaders say it has enjoyed unusual local resources, allowing it to successfully attempt adventures that others dare not consider. The program gives youths who struggle in conventional academics or sports an avenue to rebuild confidence and succeed. One of the most challenging activities is the monthlong operation of a Christmas tree lot. It is far more than a simple fundraiser. This oncesimple operation has grown into a $60,000 business which sells over 1,100 trees and nets a $24,000 profit. It is a complex business, chiefly run by the teens and experienced young adults. The youths must learn purchasing, marketing, setup and display, pricing, inventory control, transport, delivery, security, personnel and cash management, sales and customer service. This event also serves to strengthen and solidify the crew. The proceeds from the tree lot have allowed the crew to never turn away a youth due to financial need. Over the years, the crew has acquired an impressive collection of outdoor equipment including all-season tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, cooking gear and snowshoes. They have a fleet of 22 snowmobiles which are serviced and maintained by the crew members, who must learn basic mechanics and how to safely operate the machines. They have built 10 wooden sea

kayaks along with a custom trailer to transport them. While the year is filled with dozens of activities, there are four major ones: the Christmas tree lot, a winter campout, a coast hike and a San Juan islands kayaking adventure. Each of these activities takes a great deal of planning to coordinate the highly complex logistics of equipment, transportation, food, fuel, safety and training. Teens and young adults are expected to immerse themselves into the details, planning and execution. The teens learn how to do things such as, safely drive a snowmobile deeply into the mountains and camp for three days in the dead of winter, securely maneuver a sea kayak across large inland channels, carefully pack minimal and light gear while meeting the needs of the journey and dressing to survive extreme conditions. They are expected to learn how to troubleshoot inevitable injuries, failures and breakdowns in plans, equipment and people, bringing extra supplies and anticipating contingencies and options in advance. The program is intentionally and uniquely designed to welcome young men and women of all backgrounds, but is especially beneficial for those who may find it difficult to thrive in the traditional academic, social, or sports environment. For those teens that succeed in facing these complex challenges, the experience is life-changing. Their sense of confidence, belief, civic pride and independence is improved tenfold.

River rescue practice To do this job, you need not only the physical strength and ability to get someone out of danger, you need the creativity to think up the various ways people get themselves into trouble all the time. Members of the Eastside Fire & Rescue technical rescue teams spent a week recently honing all of these skills, at Tolt MacDonald Park in Carnation. Working in shifts, all 33 team members spent a day learning the ropes of the team’s new rescue raft, a two-man inflatable designed to allow rescuers to float (on water) or slide (on ice or snow) right up to a victim, and an afternoon practicing climbing skills at Carnation’s Tolt MacDonald Park. “A lot of the guys do this for fun, too,” said Kyle Houston, a North-Bend-based lieutenant and one of the officers in charge of the afternoon’s training exercise, rescuing a man whose bungee jump off the park’s footbridge didn’t go as planned.

Above, a rescuer with the Eastside Fire & Rescue technical rescue team supports his ‘patient’ with his legs as fellow rescue team members haul him to the top of the footbridge at Tolt MacDonald Park Friday, Dec. 7. This scenario, involving a victim dangling at the end of a failed bungee jump off the footbridge at Tolt MacDonald Park in Carnation, required the climber to descend to the victim, harness together, and then get hauled up by the rest of the team.
