Risking a lot to save a lot
She’s got the healing touch North Bend cancer survivor Heather Ryan wields the power of hope
Brian Busby, Snoqualmie firefighter, honored for heroic river rescue Snoqualmie firefighter and Valley homeless advocate Brian Busby received the city’s highest safety honor, the Medal of Valor, this week. Busby played the key role in a February 1 rescue of a woman who came within moments of drowning in the frigid waters of the Snoqualmie Brian Busby River. Off duty, Snoqualmie Busby was firefighter near the Snoqualmie River’s South Fork when he learned that the woman had slipped and fallen into the river’s icy waters while trying to cross near North Bend. He made the quick decision to reach her, keeping her head above water until additional help arrived. His own legs going numb, Busby could tell that the woman’s situation was dire. King County Sheriff ’s deputies provided timely assistance, with one officer hanging onto Busby as he perched on a job, keeping her from going under. “We have a saying,” says Busby. “’You risk a little to save a little; you risk a lot to save a lot.’ See RESCUE, 27
By Seth Truscott Editor
Even when she was in a lifeor-death struggle with cancer, Heather Ryan’s hands still practiced the healing gift. It is three years ago last Friday that Ryan, a 12-year Valley resident, beat breast cancer. See TOUCH, 27

Random Acts of Kindness Club members capped off a week of random acts of kindness at Cedarcrest High School and in the surrounding community by hanging a long “kindness chain” from the balcony over the Cedarcrest commons. Club president Maggie Gronberg, center, with Advisor Peggy Filer and club member Brett Young stretched the chain, made of links of paper on which students wrote about acts of kindness they saw throughout the week, the length of the commons.
The kindness patrol By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter
They start at one end of the balcony overlooking the Cedarcrest High School commons, and work quietly along the wall hanging the colorful “kindness” chain like bunting over the
lunch crowd. There’s no announcement, no presentation, but by the time the chain reaches halfway across the commons, heads are turning and students are elbowing each other. See KINDNESS, 9

PTSA plans image overhaul meeting for high school The Mount Si High School PTSA is hosting a public discussion on the social perceptions about the high school, as part of its next general meeting, 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, at the high school library. Principal John Belcher, with PTSA members, will lead the discussion, with goals of identifying which areas of Mount Si High School’s image need to be updated, and dispelling rumors. “Mount Si is not the same high school it was back when Snoqualmie Valley was only a rural logging area,” the meeting notice states. “For the betterment of all students and our community, it is time to re-image MSHS as the excellent school that it is.” The discussion will follow a brief regular meeting and the election of next year’s PTSA officers.
Fire extinguisher in action at Carnation Chamber Weather permitting, firefighters will show locals how to use a fire extinguisher in this week’s Carnation Chamber of Commerce meeting, on fire safety, 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, at the Carnation Fire Station. Eastside Fire & Rescue presents the topic. Chamber members can learn about how to make their business safe from fire hazards. Have you ever wondered how to use a fire extinguisher? What to do when confronted by a regular fire, or an electrical, car or grease fire? Do you have a building evacuation plan? What if there’s a downed power line on the road? Fire professionals will teach chamber members these basics. As a bonus, if weather cooperates, EFR firefighters will give a live, hands-on demo on extinguisher use. It’s a chance to use an extinguisher, something that might save your own building or home someday. Learn more at the Carnation Chamber website.

e’ve been doing Best of the Valley for enough years now to know the drill: Put the ballots out in February, wait several weeks, rush to count the results and put together an entire section letting folks know the annual winners. Locals, business owners and officials take this stuff pretty seriously. The plaques often take a place of pride in offices and restaurants. We took the contest online a few years ago, in an effort to prevent ballot-stuffing. It now takes us about two days to tally all the votes. Going over the results last week, it was fascinating to see what changed since 2012, and what stayed the same. The numbers tell an interesting story.
People love their coffee, pizza, festivals Some categories are more popular than others. But the real piles of votes came in surprising categories. Thousands for best pizza! Best coffee! And best Valley festival. Folks in North Bend really came through Seth Truscott for Festival at Mount Si, though Valley Record hundreds still refer to it as Alpine Editor Days, seven years after the name change.
What category would you Out add to ‘Best of the Valley’?
This week in Valley history
Thursday, March 24, 1987
North Bend and Snoqualmie might be considered bedroom communities, but hundreds of people who work here love their jobs, enough to vote their workplace as the Best Place to Work. Nearly 100 different venues are represented. There’s some real pride here, some good bosses. Good to know. Ditto for the education category. More than 200 different teachers from Valley schools were represented. That means hundreds of parents in the Valley are impressed enough with their child’s educators to say they’re the best. Unlike in some categories, there was no massive leader for the title of Best Community Volunteer. Nels Melgaard took it, for the second year in a row, but his margin wasn’t huge. We received votes for more than 100 different individuals (and a few businesses and organizations) in this category. That means that, in our handful of Valley communities, hundreds of people have made enough of a difference to earn the thanks and votes of their neighbors. Ditto for Organization to Join and Local Non-Profit. Encompass enjoyed a big margin in the latter category, but otherwise, these were packed with variety. From Friends of the Trail to the Friends of the Library, from “Any PTA” to Veterans of Foreign Wars, and about a dozen Mount Si’s—senior center, food bank, music boosters, and onward—more than 100 non-profits and clubs were represented. Who knew we had that many? The takeaway: This is a community that cares.
“Pest control. There’s no pest control category, and there’s a lot of them in the area.”

What’s in a name? Then there were bloopers, the snide votes. On “Best Park,” one customer voted, “all”. For Best City Councilmember or Mayor, someone simply put “No.” A political statement, perhaps? That aside, when the counting is all said and done, and another Best of the Valley competition is wrapped up, I’d like to say to all who participated: Thank you for voting. Bragging rights are only part of this. There’s also a spur to excellence for all the pizza-makers, coffee brewers, city workers, teachers and bosses in the Valley. Folks watch, and vote, and your competitor may be hungry. Contests like these keep everyone on their game. All boats go up on a rising tide.

I am a gun owner but not a member of the NRA. I have a pistol and a permit to carry but usually don’t, so what category do I fit in? I am not on one side or the other; just looking for a sane way to navigate the discussion. One argument, made by Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, is that “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” If that statement defines the terms of gun ownership according to the NRA, let’s follow that thought.

You don’t even need to be a really good guy, you can even have been a bit bad (for those who haven’t seen the regulations, you would be surprised). If you want a gun, this would be a reason to stay out of other trouble. So, by the NRA’s terms, any good citizen deserving of a gun should not be afraid of a background check. If the background check shows you are a good guy, you can get a gun. If it shows that you are a bad guy, no gun. As to Wayne’s point — I would argue that it is easier to stop a bad guy who has no gun.

Much as I enjoy where I live, I’m disappointed at times in the ‘small town’ mentality that I sometimes run into here. It’s doubly
sad when that attitude comes at the hands of our town leaders. Here is the case of man who wanted to move to North Bend and bring his established business with him. The problem? His business is tattoos. No matter how you read the details, the city council’s actions on this issue are troublesome at best. Mr. Herman dealt honestly and openly with the city. His clear intent was to operate within the framework of the law. The city itself verified that his business, as intended, was allowed under current regulations. They knew he was moving forward, expending money and effort to bring his business to North Bend, based on the information he had been provided. There was no ‘emergency’. There was no ‘underlying code’ issue — that had been clarifed by the city’s legal counsel. So why did it take the city three weeks after that clarification to tell Mr. Herman there might be an ‘issue’? These are not indications of a professionally run council. They are more often signs of petty, small town politics. I sincerely hope that is not the case here. Mr. Herman has an established business, with well-known local clientele who would very likely bring additional revenue to town. Given the city’s poor handling of this issue, I believe Mr. Herman deserves better — and another chance. And I believe the city council owes us an honest, legitimate explanation for their actions.

In Brief
Explorer Helen Thayer shares African journeys at Women in Business luncheon
Snoqualmie Valley Hospital volunteer Volkmar Gaussman pursues career with service Volunteers play a vital role at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, contributing more than 200 hours each month of service. Volkmar Gaussmann began volunteering for Snoqualmie Valley Hospital last January, fulfilling his requirement as a pre-med student with Bellevue College to increase his experience in the medical field. He plans to become a pediatric hospitalist. “Every pre-med student has to volunteer at a hospital to show their interest in medicine,” Gaussmann said. “I chose Snoqualmie Valley Hospital because I couldn’t see myself in a larger hospital where I might not have as many opportunities to help out.” Volunteers serve the hospital in many capacities: They provide clerical and office support, assist with community events and special projects, assist with patient activities and serve as advocates for the hospital and for patients and their families. Volkmar volunteers here about three hours per week, helping out in a variety of ways. Some of his projects include filing, consolidating medical records, assisting with individual staff projects and helping keep track of volunteer hours. “I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve helped with at SVH and everyone I have worked with,” Gaussmann said. “It’s been good to learn what else goes on in a hospital setting besides patient care.”
Medicine has not always been a dream for Volkmar. In 2004, he and his wife learned that their 14-month-old son had kidney cancer. They spent countless hours at Seattle Children’s Hospital watching their son endure various tests and surgery. It was during this time that Volkmar realized medicine was the right path for him. “At the time, I remember thinking how sad I was that I would never get to know him – what he likes, what sports he wants to play and what he wants to be when he grows up,” Volkmar said. “Now, he’s 9 years old, healthy and plans to be an architect.” Volkmar was recently accepted into the medical program at the University of Washington School of Medicine. “I want to be able to help other children the way the doctors and staff helped my son,” he said. “I’m just happy I can live my dream. Who wouldn’t want to do this?” If you would like to learn more about the volunteer program, send e-mail to Shawn Boynton, Volunteer Coordinator, at shawnb@snoqualmiehospital.org or call (425) 831-2300 ext. 145. Visit www.SVHD4.org for more information.
Helen Thayer inspires the Snoqualmie Valley Women in Business every time she visits. Thayer gives her “Walking Africa” talk, 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 10, at the Women in Business lunch, held at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, 36005 S.E. Ridge St. Cost is $30. To learn more, contact Robin M. Clark at differentialmath@comcast.net or call (425) 442-1878. Or, visit www. svwib.com. Thayer is a New Zealand-born explorer. At 50, she became the first woman to travel solo to the magnetic North Pole, pulling her own sled without resupply. She travelled on foot, with no outside help. She continues to develop educational programs with her husband Bill, a retired helicopter pilot. Helen and Bill have walked over 12,000 miles in Africa, studying centuries-old indigenous cultures. They lived with the Masaai, Berbers, Dakoda and Bushmen. In their time with the various tribes they experienced up-close encounters with African wildlife.

Snoqualmie Valley’s educators of 2013 Marianne Bradburn: Elementary Educator of the Year By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter
It’s definitely an occasion for “The Awesome Song” as the school day ends in Marianne Bradburn’s classroom. Maybe it was because she announced “No homework tonight!” or maybe because the sun was out and students could walk across the playground to their buses. Whatever the reason, the students were chanting right along with their teacher as she led them out the door. “A-W-E-S-O-M-E! Awesome, awesome, awesome, that’s the way to be,” they sang, punctuating the “whoo!” at the end with skips and jumps. It’s the right song for the day, and for the teacher, who was named Elementary Educator of the Year by the Snoqualmie Schools Foundation. Students love Bradburn, who in the last minutes before the final bell rings, is at the center of a group of them, all anxious to read her their stories, show her their work on the iPad, or just to get a hug or a high-five. Since Bradburn has taught third grade for 24 years, nine in this district, the feeling is clearly mutual. “This age, I think, is just the best age,” Bradburn says with a warm smile. There are a lot of reasons, Bradburn says, but a big one is, at this age, “they have learned, kind of the basics… for example, in reading, they’ve learned how to read, and now we get to read to learn.” She includes herself in that ‘we’ because she is
History detective Tom Burford is Middle School Educator of the Year
No one wants to leave Thomas Burford’s classroom in Snoqualmie Middle School, although the bell has rung. A few students are edging toward the door, as Burford hurriedly finishes telling his story of the four-state April Fool’s joke, but almost all of them wait to hear the whole thing. It’s not just that they went to know what happened, since he tells them up-front what the joke was. They want to know what happened next, to find out how the joke could affect people in four different states, and months later. That’s how Burford, recently named the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation Middle School Educator of the Year, makes the last few minutes of his history class count. “We had just finished with three days of presentations, and we had 15 minutes left,” Burford explained after class. No time for much of anything, but a good story would nudge them down the path of “playing detective” that they’re already on in class.
Marianne Bradburn answers her students’ many questions. also learning. “I never do the same things,” she says. “It’s always changing, because education is always changing.” Twenty-four years ago, when Bradburn first started teaching third grade on Mercer Island, she would never have predicted that she’d stay in the same grade. Now, she wouldn’t even consider teaching another grade. “I do not intend to move from the third grade,” she says. There’s just too much excitement at that grade-level for Bradburn to give up. For instance, “I always teach cursive on the first day of school,” she says. “Third
graders love to learn cursive. It is the best age to do it, because sometimes it takes a long time to get through it, but they’re just chomping at the bit! ‘oh, we finally get to do this!’” In that respect, this year’s class was like her other students, but a few things make this class stand out for her, starting with their number. “This year, I have 30 students,” Bradburn says, the biggest group she’s ever taught, but also one of the most “cohesive and kind” groups, too, for which she says she is truly grateful. Another thing that will keep Bradburn at Opstad, and in the third grade, are her fellow teachers, especially teaching partner Sharon Piper. “We’ve known each other almost all our lives,” says Bradburn, including in their grade school days when they both went to St. Louise Parish School in Bellevue. Their friendship was cemented years later when Piper had Bradburn’s daughter in her classroom, and Bradburn, whose favorite principal and mentor at Mercer Island was retiring, began looking for a new position. She called Piper and asked, “how do you like teaching where you live?” The answer was “I love it! And there’s a third-grade position open!” Bradburn had been preparing herself for the idea of not teaching third grade, but was thrilled to find out she wouldn’t have to make that jump. Her collaboration with Piper in the years since makes her want to share the award, but she doesn’t have to. Piper was named Elementary Educator of the Year in 2011. Bradburn and other educators of the year will be honored at the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation Luncheon, Thursday, March 28, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, visit www.svsfoundation.org.
Burford can’t remember a time when he wasn’t interested in the American story, and in playing detective. He read about historic figures and events throughout school, and still frequently refers people to good reads on history, many from his favorite historical author Stephen Ambrose. “No one gets turned onto history by reading a textbook,” he said. History teacher Tom Burford tells his students a story. Despite his lifelong interest in the subject, teaching hisStudying history, Burford says, is like playing detective. tory is a relatively new phase in his life. It started in the early “Every year, I ask my students if they watch ‘CSI’” he says, 90s when he decided to pursue his teaching certification because the format is like the modern study of history. “We and master’s degree simultaneously.

Finding their own answers
Counselor Joe Galagan, High School educator of 2013, ponders final year
Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation’s High School Educator of the Year is a man with a 25-year history at Mount Si High School. Counselor Joe Galagan has been helping about 400 Mount Si High School students each year to find their own answers, and plans to look for some of his own at the end of the school year, when he will retire. Here, in his own words, is Galagan’s story: “I walked into Mount Si High school for the first time on a bright, sunny day in August 1987. The mountain was scenic, looming and massive, symbolically perched ever so close to the school (or so it seemed at first glance). It was my first day on the job, a recently hired counselor, just a few weeks before the 1987-88 school year was to begin and I remember feeling more than a bit anxious. This was going to be a new experience, different from my previous positions as a vocational rehabilitation counselor handling adult clientele and as an academic advisor at the University of Washington. This was a high school setting; teenagers, variant forms of behavior and possible moments of chaos (as I recalled from my own high school days in Tacoma). Yet, upon walking into the school’s front entrance, I found open office doors, students chatting and comparing class schedules, excited voices, friendly faces and a staff welcoming that has lasted for well over 25 years. Who could have asked for anything more?
I came to the counseling profession via the study of literature, first as an undergraduate student in English (American literature) and then as a graduate student at University College, Dublin (Irish literature). During that sixyear learning experience, I was immersed in comprehensive reading, writing and, most importantly, character studies. This led to a self-directed review of psychology and an ever-developing interest in personality studies. I have occupied a counselCounselor Joe Galagan has helped ing office here in the Mount Si students for 26 years. school for 26 years. In and out of my door have passed a remarkable array of people, young and old, all aspiring for understanding, growth and full lives. I have always believed in the goodness of others. This force remains strong within me and has guided my counseling practices. No matter the obstacles, hardships, or challenges, there remains within us a resiliency to persevere and move forward
130 students every day, but he doesn’t feel alone in that role. “We have a team concept, and I work with wonderful teachers,” he said, adding that the staff at SMS is “very much a family.” He works most closely with the language arts teacher, but he also collaborates with history teachers in other middle schools (Emily Rourke at Twin Falls and, in the past, Dean Snavely) to lead eighth grade students on a trip to Washington, D.C. “It is the highlight of my summer,” he says. “I love that trip…. I love what our founding fathers set up. What they did had never been done before….The Declaration of Independence, what a masterful piece of writing, especially when you break it down, which we do in my class.” The Declaration, and the Constitution with it, are still very relevant today, he says, and he demonstrates that to students with things like a presentation from a guest Highway Patrol officer on the Fourth Amendment. “I try to make it relevant to their own lives,” Burford said, “…when you can tell them how their rights are affected, then they start to pay attention and want to know more.” He also uses humor, he said, “and with middle school kids, the grosser you can make it, the better!”
with confidence and distinction. I have attempted to provide students (and parents) a place to realize this, to find within themselves innate talents, gifts and personal resources. A school counselor opens the door and asks students to walk through into a process of self-discovery. It might be a conversation about academics, family, college aspirations, relationships, personal issues, successes, or disappointments. The key has been to sit with the student, to be present and engaged, to listen and to allow for clarity and comprehension. The school and community have allowed for other ventures tied to my counseling work. For years, I participated in the Natural Helpers program providing over 300 Mount Si High School students the opportunity to attend weekend training retreats at various outdoor camps. Here, alongside other MSHS staff members, we taught helping skills and encouraged empathy and trust-building peer connections. These were special student-centered weekends of learning, sharing, group dynamics and awareness. And each retreat was sponsored and funded by community grants. I am now in my waning days at Mount Si High School. This will be my last school year, number 26, and then a true retirement. What awaits is somewhat unknown but I anticipate days of traveling, writing, walking, and family time. I hope to write a book or two, something about schools and educators and lessons on learning. I have encountered so many talented and dedicated teachers and counselors along the way. I would like to give them their due, to cut through the politics and negativity sometimes surrounding schools and get down to the heartfelt matters of school stewardship. Mount Si High School has a been a worthy place of learning, ripe with notable students and staff. I can say with all honesty that it has been an honor and a privilege working here each and every day since the very beginning.”

Best of the Valley 2013
Safe from the storm
Where everybody knows your name Finaghty’s Irish Pub lauded for ‘Best Happy Hour’
Named “Best Insurance Agency” by Record readers, Hauglie Insurance founder Kevin Hauglie shared his thoughts on keeping locals safe from the unexpected. He started the business in 1985 by “picking up the Valley phone book and offering to help.”
How has the Valley changed since then? “The Valley has grown in population and service offerings. We have had the blessing of growing along with it. My entire team never takes for granted the trust and faith that is placed in us by those we serve. Having offices in three of the Valleys communities, Snoqualmie, Fall City and Duvall, truly affords us the opportunity to get to know many families and businesses.”
Hauglie Insurance: Angela Donaldson, Kevin and Laurie Hauglie, Elizabeth Gildersleeve
What’s your philosophy of customer service? “Treat those who trust us with respect and state the truth as we know it to be. Provide thoughtful relevant information at the point of need offering to provide the solution when we can.”
What’s the main thing to think about when you make a major purchase? “Get advice from an experienced team you trust and have faith in. Collectively, my team has well over 100 years of insurance and financial service experience. We will inform and afford you the dignity to make intellegent decisions that will provide for those you love. You’ve worked hard for what you have and want it properly protected.
How do you balance safety with the Valley’s natural phenomena, such as floods, as an insurance agent? “Safety must be put into terms of: How prepared are we? Have you thought out what you need to do for yourself and maybe those around you? If we are not prepared we can become a liability to ourselves and those around us. Regardless of whether it is a flood, house fire or even an auto accident, we need to think safety.”
Why is the Valley still your home, 25-plus years in? “I do what I do because it makes a difference. When you look into the eyes of a spouse who has just lost a loved one and while you can never truly feel the pain of the loss, we can provide solutions for a level of financial security. Options that otherwise may not have been there. The Valley is a unique collage of varied people who value the daily experience of simply living in our beautiful surroundings and looking out for each other.”

The pub, voted “Best Happy Hour” in the 2013 reader poll, is a place where regulars and staff are on a first-name basis. “Finaghty’s has always been focused on providing a great atmosphere that people of all ages enjoy,” Stafford tells the Record. “We want our guests to always feel comfortable and our staff knows most of them on a first-name basis, including what their favorite food and beverage are.” Stafford tries to offer the best prices possible that allow customers to enjoy some of their favorite food and drink. The variety keeps his customers visiting multiple times each week. “A good happy hour is about being consistent with our service and specials and making people feel like they can relax and enjoy themselves once they come into our doors,” the owner says.

Best of the Valley 2013
Ready for the job Repeating as the top choice in the “Best Handyman” category this year, North Bend’s Ty Olson is a modern-day craftsman. “One of my favorite things is finish-work, just the details, and getting it all right,” he says, talking about his eight years in business as Ty’s Handyman Service. Olson, a Valley resident all his life, basically grew up doing remodels, first with his father, who worked in general construction well into his 70s, and then later, with various larger companies. He decided to get his own general contractor’s license about eight years ago and become independent, choosing his projects

Voted BEST Auto Service 2012
more cautiously as he “got older and smarter,” he says. Today, that means fewer roof jobs, but he still does lots of home repairs. He works at his own pace, and takes full responsibility for the job. “People say I’m really meticulous about my work,” he says. One reason for that is “I don’t want to come back in five years!” Another is a guiding principle he’s held throughout his life, including his 15 years as a commercial potter, throwing clay on a wheel: “The difference between a good job and a bad job is not that much time.” Olson has a long list of customers and also receives referrals from Angie’s List, so free time is hard for him to find, but he’s OK with that. “I do like to stay busy,” he says. “What else am I going to do, work around the house?” Call Ty’s Handyman Service at (425) 888-1289.
This park is the tops EJ Roberts Park is the perennial favorite park of Record readers. There must be something about the park’s quiet atmosphere, and the number of features packed into its four acres. Located on the north side of North Bend in the Silver Creek neighborhood, at Sixth Street and Thrasher Avenue, the park has a big grassy center area with picnic tables, a play area for children, an artfully decorated public restroom with murals painted by artist Peter Teekamp, plus two full-size tennis courts and a small basketball court. Visitors can stroll along a trail that winds through the oaks. There’s something for everyone. E.J Roberts Park is known for its rural character, old-time wooden bridge and walking path. On a visit, you may be fortunate to see deer, elk, coyotes or a pileated woodpecker, which is an indicator species of mature and old growth forest within the park. Park hours are from dawn to dusk.

Civic planner Best City Employee Gina Estep on growing North Bend
Secrets of great service
The hamburgers, shakes and fries are served much as they were in 1951, when Scott’s Dairy Freeze opened its doors. Today’s world has changed by leaps and bounds, but the burgers, shakes and fries are still the main attraction at Scott’s, handed out through the same windows, which themselves have changed little beyond the occasional coat of paint. The menu, too, is timeless. Ken Hearing (North Bend’s mayor) shared his thoughts on why Scott’s retains the kind of customer loyalty that’s earned it Best Burger favorite for yet another year. What is the secret of Scott’s longevity? “With any product that you do, whether you’re building something or providing a service to the community, consistency is the key. Every time the customer walks in the doors, they get what they remember, what they got last time. That is so important, the key in any business… If you screw up, nine times out of 10, the customer isn’t going to complain—they’re not coming back. You have to have it right, every single time.” What’s something that locals may not know about your business? “After 23 years of doing this, I still enjoy it. I love the people. Even on a busy day, at the end of the day, I love talking to people. That’s part of why I wanted to do this—I’m a very social person.” You’ve seen hundreds of Valley residents come through Scott’s—as employees. How do you get them to buy in to your business vision? “Over 23 years, I’ve had more than 400 employees at Scott’s. You have to reach each person as an individual. Everybody responds differently to instruction.... Part of it is them needing money for something. They’re saving for a car or paying for their own school, saving money for college. That’s a good part of it. “Paying them the respect, that you trust them to do a good job. That’s what gains that ownership, more than anything… I take an interest in them. It’s almost like a partnership, like a family set-up. They come to me when they have problems. They trust me. I’ve worked hard not to break that trust.”

Named Best City Employee for a second year in a row, North Bend’s Gina Estep has always had a desire to plan communities and develop economies for cities. Estep, who is Planning and Economic Development Director for the city of North Bend, went to college and got a degree in urban and regional planning. She worked for the city of Snoqualmie from 1998 to 2006. Prior to that, she worked for the cities of LaConner and Lake Stevens. Estep spent eight years in the Snoqualmie planning office. It was a wonderful experience, she says, but she was ready for some additional responsibilities. The North Bend job offered the economic development angle, which Estep finds very engaging. “I love working with businesses, creating reasons for activities and tourism to draw in people,” she says. When it comes to economic development, local business owners appreciate activities like the North Bend Block Party, UW Cycling Races or Adventure Sport Festival. “We’re trying to bring people to downtown and give them a great experience,” Estep said, “which will bring them back to frequent the restaurants and shops. Also, to give reasons for potential businesses looking to locate in North Bend.” This approach builds community: “It gets people out and meeting each other.” “I try to treat people like I would want to be treated,” Estep says. “Give them the time that each person deserves with their issue or question. Everybody’s got something to add. If we take a little bit of everybody’s ideas, we’ve got a pretty awesome city.” Ahead for North Bend, Estep is looking forward to nearly $1.5 million in grants and matching dollars going into revitalization of the streetscapes and sidewalks. With the new Bartell’s drug store, a proposed hotel, and new neighborhoods—eight different subdivisions are being processed—“in the next five years, you’re going to see a lot of revitalization in North Bend. We’re looking at developing a civic center, including a performing arts theater. There is so much in the pipeline, that, once it’s realized, North Bend is really going to be revitalized. That will be something that the city can be proud of.” “Thanks to all who voted,” Estep said of the honor of Best City Employee. “That is a total compliment.”

Best of the Valley 2013
Learning is fun
Community comes together for a spectacular show
North Bend Montessori was chosen “Best Preschool” by its fans and parents in the Best of the Valley contest. Sue Weigel, school director, answered a few questions about her school and what teachers and parents do to ensure their pupils achieve succes.
The North Benders have spoken. Their favorite party, “The Festival at Mount Si,” garnered the most votes for Best Local Event. We asked Jill Massengill, Festival committee president, what makes this summer event, which returns August 9 to 11, so beloved. What do you think makes the Fest at Mount Si special or stand out? “I think it stands out as the longest-running and largest community event. Generations of Valley families look forward to either attending for family fun, food, the parade and music, or they plan a party at their home that night for a barbecue picnic and spectacular fireworks show.” How does it bring the community together? It brings the community together through common interests. Not only the events and family fun, but the efforts of many many people and business to participate in donating or volunteering to pull something of this magnitude off. What’s your favorite part of the festival? “My personal favorite part is the friendships I have made with a number of really super people that volunteer time and efforts AND the clean up party.....really! I have never laughed so hard in my life. Sunday, August 11, at 4 p.m.—come check it out.”
For folks who don’t know: Just what is Montessori? “Montessori is a type of education that allows each child to be individually taught at his/her level and gives them the confidence to excel to their highest potential. Learning becomes fun and easy for children!”
What’s the best part of working with kids? “The best part of working with these children each day is to watch their success and also those great big smiles when they accomplish something.”
What’s the highlight of a day at school?
“Giving them the best start in the early years is the best way to make a child successful! Education starts at a very early age and the younger they start, the better! Also, reading to them daily and spending quality time with them is always to their best advantage.” “It feels great to be chosen as the best Montessori! We have a wonderful staff that is dedicated to giving these students the best education possible! I am very proud of the hard work that they put into our school and community each day.”

“The highlight of our day is watching children grow, laugh, build friendships and understand learning is fun.”
What’s the best way that parents can help their young children be successful?

Every child is important Voted ‘Best Nonprofit’ by Record readers, Encompass is an independent, non-profit, children’s and family-services organization established in 1966 with a unique mission: To nurture children, enrich families and inspire community. The organization’s programs nurture typical and developmentally challenged children, enrich families in all their diversity and inspire community throughout the Snoqualmie Valley and the greater Eastside. Clay Eals, Encompass’ ever-present communicator, shared the following thoughts:
What’s the best part of working with kids? “That’s easy—it’s the children’s smiling faces, which we see every day. They reflect (1) our inspirational mission, (2) the expertise, passion and dedication of our staff to execute the mission and (3) the deep and longstanding support of our thousands of program participants (especially parents and other caregivers of children), financial and in-kind donors, volunteers and others in the communities we serve.”

Nicole Demetrescu, Encompassphysicaltherapist, guides a youngster as he scales the new rock-climbing wall at Encompass Downtown North Bend. It will be showcased at an open house on April 17 growing by leaps and bounds. With this growth comes a growing need for programs to serve children, families and their communities. In planning for the future, we stand on the shoulders of giants who decades ago foresaw the need to build facilities, staff and programs to fulfill our mission. We are indebted to this legacy in succeeding in an economic climate during which other nonprofits have struggled. With strong board vision and leadership, we are poised to take bold steps to enhance our facilities, staff and programs in ways that serve our growing and changing communities and ensure our sustainability. Stay tuned!”
What’s something about the Encompass experience that most folks around here may not know?
What might be the biggest challenge that Encompass faces today? “It is no secret that, even during recent economic difficulties, the Snoqualmie Valley, Issaquah, Sammamish and the greater Eastside are
“Many in the communities we serve are familiar with one or two of our
Best of the Valley 2013 programs and services, but often they do not realize the wide-ranging breadth of our offerings, from nationally accredited preschool to therapy for all ages of children with speech, motor and other developmental challenges, from parenting workshops and on-on-one coaching to Family Nights and a childcare co-op, from an imaginative array of summer camps and enrichment classes to support and advocacy for families in need. Also, many do not know that everything we do is guided by studies in other settings and by nationally practiced family support principles. In addition, some do not know that we have programs for parents of preteens and older, from Super Sitters to a summer camp assistant training program to “The Big Transition to Middle School.” Finally, some do not understand that we serve families from all walks of life.
What is ahead that Encompass would really like to celebrate? One cause for celebration is imminent. Through the generosity of PACCAR, we recently augmented our Encompass downtown North Bend office with a beautiful addition that allows us to expand our speech, motor and physical therapies for children of all ages. Highlighted by a colorful, floor-to-ceiling mural, the new space features new equipment that includes a rock-climbing wall, a ball crawl, a swing and ladder. We are celebrating this with an ice cream social open house from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 17. The address is 209 Main Ave. S., North Bend. Kids are welcome to attend and enjoy the ball pit, balloons, and, of course, ice cream! Therapists will be on hand to answer questions. • Learn more at www.encompassnw.org.

Above, the McQuay family poses for a photo Friday, March 1, in a portrait session for the 3 Skis fundraising event at North Bend’s Pioneer Coffee. Photos were shot in a vintage portrait booth, in the fundraiser, which helped the Essig family of North Bend, whose son was injured in a ski accident in Canada, and also went to winter sports safety programs. Organizer DeAnna Haverfield of Pioneer Coffee (pictured, at right) reports that funds will help build a safety-awareness program for students. Photos were by Tetuan Photography; the completed photo strips are now hanging at Pioneer Coffee in North Bend.
Master gardeners: Start planning your summer vegetable garden By Bev Morrow
Snoqualmie Valley Master Gardener Intern
Here in the Snoqualmie Valley area, the latitude is 47 degrees, 54 minutes north, which means we have few daylight hours during the winter months until we reach the spring or vernal equinox on March 20, when day and night are equal. Generally speaking, we get more rain, colder spring and summer night temperatures, and less heat to fully ripen vegetables like corn and tomatoes. It’s at this time of year that we all look forward to spring’s arrival with longer daylight hours, warmer weather and increased soil temperatures. Does this slightly warmer spring weather indicate that it is time to rush right out and start planting our vegetable gardens outdoors? Well, not really. Unfortunately, our area’s spring climate is unpredictable and we can experience a frosty night right up to mid-April or later on throughout the Valley. For most seeds to germinate, the soil temperature has to be at 40 to 70 degrees, colder for greens, warmer for squash. Investing in a soil thermometer will take the guesswork out—they aren’t expensive. Now is the perfect time to start planning your summer vegetable garden. Not only can you order seeds (and plants) from seed catalogs, but you can also acquire lots of information about vegetable varieties and vegetable Zucchini Blossom gardening in general. Some of my favorite seed catalogs are: Territorial Seed Company, (http:// www.territorial-seed.com) and Ed Hume Seeds, (http://www.humeseeds.com). Whether you order seeds, or buy seeds at your local garden store, be sure that the seeds you’re getting are labeled specifically for the 2013 growing season. Last year’s seeds may germinate just fine, but they may not, so for a successful experience, go with the current season’s seeds. For our area, vegetables that have a short growing season and thrive in cool weather are the easiest to grow. Some vegetables recommended by the Snoqualmie Valley Master Gardeners, gardeners who successfully grow vegetables in North Bend and Snoqualmie, include: Fortex green bean, Redbor kale, Sungold tomato, Sweet Million tomato, Merlin beet, Detroit dark red beet, and Flashy Trout’s Back lettuce. You should have no trouble growing green onions, spinach, all types of lettuce, carrots, chard, potatoes, kale, peas, beans, and herbs like cilantro and sage. Additional information on vegetable gardening can be found at www.svmastergardeners. com. Bring your gardening questions to the Snoqualmie Valley Master Gardeners at the Nursery at Mt. Si on Saturday mornings in April and May.

Mullet seeks pages for 2013 leg. session Sen. Mark Mullet, D-Issaquah, invites middle and high school students in the 5th Legislative District to apply for paid page jobs in his office during the new legislative session. Pages travel and relay messages on the Senate floor, deliver packages and mail throughout the Capitol campus, and bear the flag at legislative ceremonies. More information, a list of frequently asked questions and applications are at www.leg.wa.gov/ Senate/Administration/ PageProgram/Pages/default. aspx A page spends two hours each day in page school listening to guest speakers, including legislators and lobbyists. Pages also participate in their own mock-legislative session where they draft bills, present them to their peers and vote on them at the end of each week. Aside from assigned duties, pages can meet their sponsoring senators and tour the Governor’s mansion.

Coin theft: At 6:04 a.m., an officer responded to a burglary report at a business in the 100 block of East North Bend Way. A thief gained access to the business and used a pry bar to break into several machines before successfully retrieving one change box. This theft may be related to an earlier incident in the 100 block of West Park Street, when a citizen saw two people trying to pry open another business’s outdoor cash machine.

RESCUE FROM 1
TOUCH FROM 1
“And to me, that gal hanging there was a lot,” Busby said. Snoqualmie Fire Chief Bob Rowe said that without Busby’s actions, he had “no doubt the river would have taken another life” that February day. Busby was honored by a full complement of city firefighters in front of the Snoqualmie City Council on Monday, March 25. “It gives me great honor to have Brian as a Snoqualmie employee,” said City Administrator Bob Larson, in a statement. “His actions are a testimony to his outstanding character and dedication to serving the community.”
“I feel like I’ve got a gift. I’m happy to share it,” she says. Ryan was voted “Best Therapeutic Massage” practitioner in the 2013 Best of the Valley reader poll. She’s a cancer survivor who helps other people heal and hope. “It feeds my soul,” Ryan says of her work. “It’s the only job where I wake up, thinking ‘I love coming to work.’ It’s a job that gives back to me.”
Here comes street work on Falls Avenue, Cedar Street in downtown Snoqualmie.
Going back Ryan’s skills in healing touch took shape when she was only 7. Her mother, Shirley Davies, had Bell’s Palsy, a partial paralysis of the face, ever since Ryan was young. “She had a lot of facial nerve pain,” Ryan said. “My dad had big, gnarly man-hands. He could not do it.” So Ryan’s hands did the comforting, massaging her mother’s face and neck. “She talked me through it,” she said. “She was suffering a lot. It felt like I was able to give her some comfort.” Ryan grew up in the Santa Cruz/Monterey area of California. In her early adulthood, she drove ambulance as an emergency medical technician.
A big street and infrastructure project to fix mostlywrecked roads in downtown Snoqualmie began this month. Officially named the Falls Avenue Southeast and Southeast Cedar Street Rehabilitation and Infrastructure Improvement Project, it’ll transform several streets. Work goes through December of this year. In places, the curb, gutter, planter, and sidewalks will be removed and replaced.
“I probably should have gone to nursing school,” she says. “Things didn’t work out.” Ryan came to North Bend with her ex-husband. After 17 years as a stay-athome mom, she divorced, and life changed. Ryan was ready to go back to work, but the skills and training had moved on for all of the jobs she’d ever done.

Ryan would dream of her own place. “I used to sit over at Boxley’s, on the couch, and I’d look across the street, see this very building, and I’d say, ‘There’s my office.’” She opened The Healing Garden a year ago, going solo. For her, just two years after her bout with cancer, still recovering, it was a big deal. She had the intention of forming a group of massage practitioners around her, and sure enough, she started the warm, comforting place, and they came. “I’ve got wonderful practitioners who have unique and valuable skills,” she says. “Everybody here is an independent practitioner. Everybody here is allowed to have their own practice and have freedom. We have meetings to keep things on the same page.” “Many of my clients are my friends.” Some become her friend through the practice. “I hold them all dear to my heart.”
Fighting cancer Ryan was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. It was out of necessity that she hung in there on her beloved job. Enduring five surgeries over 15 months, she always came back to work between treatments. “I kept working through it,” she said. “As a single mom, I didn’t have anybody else paying the bills.” She overcame cancer, thanks to a lot of emotional help from her Valley friends, who threw her a big benefit to pay for surgeries and bills. “The community came together in a big way to help me get through it,” she says. “Even though it was not an easy thing to go through, I’m grateful for the opportunities cancer gave me to see the love and generosity in our community and for reminder that life is precious,” Ryan told the Record. “Joy can be found every single day. You just have to open your eyes and heart to it.” Since then, Ryan has changed her diet and routine, and many other parts of her life. Ryan credits “feeling gratitude every day and being thankful for what you have, always looking forward to the future with hope and vision.” Gesturing to her North Bend Way practice, “this would never have happened if I hadn’t visualized it and believed it would happen.”
