Efficiency in evidence Snoqualmie Police Department reduces, reuses seized guns By ALLYCE ANDREW Staff Reporter
Ever wondered where can you legally take brass knuckles in Washington state? A steel plant is a good place to start. What might sound like a punchline is a new reality for the Snoqualmie Police Department’s updated evidence destruction technique. Janelle Knight, the department’s records evidence technician, took brass knuckles and eligible guns to the Nucor Corporation steel plant, along with staff from a handful of other King County police stations for the first time on Friday, March 6. Her fiery workday involved 18 firearms from Snoqualmie’s cache, $100,000 worth of melted steel and 3,100 degrees. The
steel from the melt is repurposed into rebar at no cost to the police department. “It was a learning process as far as what can and cannot be melted,” Knight stated in her Snoqualmie office. “The guns have to be unclaimed with no owners. We always run the serial number, make sure it’s not reported stolen, and then obviously, ….how it came into our possession is a big part of it, as well.” Destruction-eligible guns have to fit strict requirements. They must be intentionally turned in from owners or confiscated by the police department, with no known owners and never used in a crime, as most of those firearms are kept for integrated ballistic identification system testing. Citizens who are eligible to reclaim their property are sent a letter and given 60 days to respond. If they don’t meet this deadline, the police department is legally allowed to melt it. If their background doesn’t check out, they’re allowed to sell the gun or sign it over to someone else. SEE MELT, 2
Jana Mabry, teacher at Twin Falls Middle School, set out in 2005 to “home-grow” some scientists in the school district. With help and encouragement from teachers who’d been there, done that, she has, with possibly greater success than she expected. As one of three keynote speakers at last week’s Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation luncheon, Mabry was introduced with two of her former students, both of whom shared the influence she had in guiding their careers.

MELT FROM 1 “Any time a gun comes back into our possession, before we let it go anywhere, I do a background check on that person and make sure, one, that they’re eligible, and two, if they’re not eligible, they can sign it over to somebody who is,” Knight explained. The department has never destroyed guns in the past. Instead, staff reused them in the department’s basement shooting range or sold them and used the money to invest in ammunition, again, for the shooting range. Knight brought the idea to the department after working on an evidence purge during her four years working dispatch in Issaquah. “I had that knowledge and then when I came here, we had all these firearms,” she stated. “I was already planning on doing a lot of the big case research and clearing out stuff, because a lot of it’s really old and I learned that we had never done a gun melt and never destroyed guns. I know the storage capacity in the evidence room; as stuff comes in, stuff ’s got to go out.”

Going Once. Going Twice.
The city of Carnation walked away with top honors at the fourth annual best-tasting water competition March 11. The event was hosted by the King County subsection of the Pacific Northwest section of the American Water Works Association. New to the competition this year, Carnation beat three-time champion and previously ranked second-best water in the nation, Sammamish Sewer and Water District. Kyle Kihs, executive director of the PNWS-AWWA; Steve Hulsman, Washington Department of Health Public health advisor for the Chemical Water Quality Monitoring Program; and Dave Griner, brewer and marketing manager for Mac & Jack’s Brewery; were the tasters, judging samples of water from each contestant’s distribution system. Each sample was evaluated on the basis of odor, taste and after-taste. A total of 10 cities and special purpose districts in King County participated in the event. “The residents of Carnation can drink proudly, knowing that the public works staff is providing drinking water that is reliable, safe and now judged the best-tasting in King County,” said Carnation utility clerk Becky Buelna, who carried Carnation’s water to the judges for tasting. As the 2015 winner, the city of Carnation will go on to represent the subsection at the PNWS-AWWA annual spring conference in Bellevue in April, with the opportunity to represent the PNWS at the national conference in Anaheim, Calif. this June. “This event is held each year to highlight the hard work our cities and districts perform to provide safe, clean and good tasting water to the residents of King County. Profits from the event are donated to nonprofit organizations that promote the supply of safe drinking water locally, nationally and worldwide,” said Doug Schlepp, Secretary of the King County Subsection of the PNWS-AWWA and event organizer.

Fixing the system Washington’s mental health system is broken, Legislature works to fix it
W
ashington state faces a major challenge in appropriately and effectively addressing the needs of those with mental illness. Diagnosis and treatment can be complex, often involving multiple parties and sometimes including the legal system, law enforcement and the corrections system. It is an issue not only affecting an individual’s health and REP. JAY RODNE well-being, but Representaitive, the safety and Washington’s 5th well-being of Legislative District others. It is also an issue that transcends politics; this is a matter of fairness and understanding. The state Supreme Court was clear when it issued a decision on August 7, 2014, calling attention to the improper “boarding” of the mentally ill in hospitals and not providing them appropriate treatment. Luckily the Legislature and governor answered the call of the court and passed an early action supple-
mental budget this legislative session, increasing mental health treatment capacities. Notwithstanding this first step, we’re still far from fully addressing our broken mental health system. Individuals in our communities are plagued with mental illness and struggle daily, and as a result of the status quo, some of these individuals have threatened the lives of others and themselves. At times their mental health episodes end in the tragic loss of innocent lives. During my service on the House Judiciary Committee, multiple mental-health-related bills have been considered. The last few years, I’ve worked with my colleagues in the House and Senate to improve treatment standards and expand family access to the court system. So far this legislative session, the House has been successful in unanimously passing legislation to enable families of mentally-ill individuals who pose a serious threat to themselves or others to petition the courts for involuntary commitment. It’s called “Joel’s Law,” named after Joel Reuter. Joel, a successful software engineer living in Seattle, struggled with bipolar disorder and was fatally shot by police in 2013, just weeks after being discharged from the hospital. Joel’s parents attempted multiple times to have him involuntarily committed. When they were denied and they asked what would make their son meet the required conditions, the answer they received was “when he has a loaded gun in his hand with his finger on the trigger,” then he would meet the criteria.
I cosponsored this bill last year (House Bill 2725), and it unanimously passed the House but stalled in the Senate. I’m proud the House made a serious statement about addressing problems within the mental health system this session by having this year’s bill, 1258, be one of the first to pass off the floor and make its way to the Senate. The bill received a hearing in the Senate Human Services and Mental Health and Housing Committee Monday, March 23. I’m committed to working with my colleagues, and the bill’s prime sponsor, to ensure it is delivered to the governor’s desk by the end of session, and hopefully have it signed and enacted into law. House Bill 1451 is another bill I sponsored this session, which would identify “persistent or acute disability” as an additional standard for a person to be committed for involuntary mental-health treatment. While the legislation had bipartisan backing, it unfortunately will not be progressing this session. No one should have to endure the psychological and emotional distress of enduring a mental illness without specialized care, treatment and understanding. The fact the current law does not appropriately account for the emotional struggles it inflicts on the mentally ill and families is unjust and unacceptable. Rep. Jay Rodne represents the 5th Legislative District in King County. He is the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee and serves on the House Transportation and Health Care and Wellness committees.
• Former Valley Record publisher Robert A. Soister died at home in Spring Glen following a courageous year-and-a-half battle with cancer. He came to the Valley in 1946 as a photographer, specializing in baby portraits but also taking photos for the Valley Record. One January, when business was slow and then-publisher Ed Groshell was short of help, Bob was invited to try his hand at the printing trade. He worked for the Groshells for several years and continued under the ownership of Ken Turay and Lyle Green. In 1968, he bought a partnership in the newspaper and operated it with Gaillard Buchman until retiring in 1985. • If you’re in that espresso frame of mind while shopping at Mount Si Village, Terri and Dave Irvine will make you happy.

Thursday, March 25, 1965 • Harmon Colby, superintendent of the Lower Snoqualmie Valley (later renamed Riverview) School District No. 407 for the past five years, has resigned, effective July 1. Prior to his work here, Colbywas superintendent of the Riverside School District north of Spokane for six years. • Trooper Mooers of the Washington State Patrol investigated a one-car accident 1.8 miles west of North Bend on the Golf Course Road at 7:45 p.m., March 22, which involved a car driven by David Anderson, 16, of North Bend. Anderson was westbound when he lost control on the gravel, ran off the road on the north side, rolled over twice, struck some guy wires and went over an embankment. He had minor head and back injuries and Thomas A. Moore, a passenger, escaped with bruises. The 1960 Renault was totaled.

Center Stage puts on romantic comedy
Valley Center Stage’s new show is “Same Time, Next Year,” a classic love story, with a twist. It tells the story of Doris and George who meet by chance at a country inn, have an affair and fall in love. They are both married to other people, so agree to meet at the same time, same place, once a year. A genuinely romantic story, they discover they are the loves of each other’s lives, and 25 years of manners and morals are hilariously and touchingly played out, with wit, compassion, poignancy, sense of humor and nostalgia. Peter Cook and Rochelle Wyatt, who both appeared in last year’s production of “The Cemetery Club” and several Valley Center Stage shows, play the lead roles. The show is directed by Gary Schwartz and was written by Bernard Slade; it opened on Broadway in 1975. The show runs Thursday through Saturday, April 4. Tickets are $17.50 for adults and $14 for seniors and students. Order tickets online at www.valleycenterstage. org. Valley Center Stage is located at 119 W. North Bend Way, North Bend.

This timeline is subject to change. Parking is available in the King Street lot, at the Snoqualmie United Methodist Church and along Falls Avenue Southeast. On the weekends, limited parking is also available along the train tracks. Parallel parking will be restored downtown in May. Parking along the train tracks will close for continuing installation of the boardwalk. All other neighborhood parking will be open as usual.

MOUNT SI GIRLS’ GOLF SCHEDULE
Golfers are gold The Mount Si girls’ golf team is all about camaraderie and competition. The team moved to 4A competition, but that hasn’t stopped them from winning their first season game against Issaquah on March 16. Levels are just one of the changes for the team this year. The ladies started out the season with substitute coach Stephen Botulinski, covering indefinitely for coach Matt Campbell, who is ill. Botulinski, a seventh grade teacher at Twin Falls Middle School, is a long-time player and started a golf club at Twin Falls last year. The team “has been really good, especially with me being new. The captains have really taken a strong role and being good leaders,” he said. One of those leaders is Caitlin Maralack, a 16-year-old junior, who hopes “everyone pushes themselves a little harder this year.” “I think our team will just be practicing a little more intensely,” she continued. “The courses we’re playing will be with more water hazards, sand traps and longer than we’ve been playing in the past… We’ll be practicing more around the short game and definitely trying to technically get our swing together and just make sure that we can get better contact on the ball and better aim and

Her other motivation this year, though, is just to have fun. “In golf, you rely on yourself when you’re over the golf ball,” she explained. “You’re the only one making the shots, so any-

thing that goes wrong – it’s on you.” “There’s no hate between players in that sense. Of course, there’s the competition but girls’ golf is not as intense.... Girls’ golf is a lot about socializing as well as trying to score low and do your best. You just try to have fun, and I think that’s something that’s really different in a lot of sports. Every sport and every body can say you tried to have fun, but in girls’ golf, it’s real.”

State’s first Karelian Bear Dog retires after 12 years of service Washington State’s first Karelian bear dog, Mishka, is retiring after 12 years of service managing hundreds conflicts with bears, cougars and other dangerous wildlife. Mishka was enlisted for duty as a puppy from the Wind River Bear Institute in Montana, where the dogs are bred and trained in the centuries-old tradition of hunters and farmers in Finland and western Russia, by Rocky Spencer, a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist, in 2003. After Spencer died from a helicopter accident while net-gunning bighorn sheep, Mishka was given to WDFW enforcement officer Bruce Richards and served the Puget Sound region since 2007. The black and white dogs, averaging 40 to 65 pounds, are instinctively bold with bears and can be trained to track, help capture and deter them from returning to places where they can get in trouble with humans. Richards, who is also retiring this spring after 41 years, says Mishka solved more bear problems in a year than most officers can in a career. “I am very proud to have been a part of this innovative way to address human-wildlife conflicts that helps both bears and people and builds teamwork between our enforcement and wildlife programs,” Richards said. “Mishka has served Washington wildlife enthusiasts well and has more than earned retirement.” WDFW now uses five other dogs to haze bears, assist in law-enforcement investigations, locate injured and orphaned wildlife and help educate the public about ways to avoid conflicts with wildlife. Three dogs are used by WDFW officers in western Washington, and the two others are used by WDFW bear and cougar biologist Rich Beausoleil of Wenatchee.

Best Park: Si View Metro Parks Si View Park and Community Center was again our readers’ choice for the Best Park in the Valley. The 76-year-old facility is a hub for many community events, including the Festival at Mount Si, or Alpine Days, if you prefer, so we asked what makes Si View so special. “If you or your family have been a long-time Snoqualmie Valley resident, then Si View is typically associated with a positive memory in your life,” said Si View recreation program supervisor Minna Rudd. “Time and time again, residents stop by our office sharing childhood memories of swim lessons, basketball games and community celebrations, activities they experienced in their youth and are now eager to share with their grandchildren!” It doesn’t hurt that, as a special purpose district, Si View and its staff are entirely focused on providing great parks, both in service and in facilities, to the public. “We are thrilled to see our community grow and thrive, and both our staff and elected officials are committed to enhancing the quality of the community’s life through recreation programs,” said Rudd.

Denise Atkinson’s Heritage Gifts jewelry studio is a space where genealogical magic happens. “I am a genealogist and went to the University of Washington for the genealogy and family-history program twice,” Atkinson began. “Genealogy and my heritage are really important to me because I grew up with my grandparents and my great grandparents and all their stories.” Atkinson, a Chicago native who said her heart has always been in Seattle, started her business with 40 pieces of clay jewelry and, once she sold them all, started working with other materials. She crafts traditional and statement pieces, sometimes made from up-cycled materials like spoons and forks found at yard sales, on Craigslist or through trades. Customers also directly bring her senti-

mental silverware to turn into jewelry for their children, a true testament to the “Heritage” in the store’s name. “The old saying in Chicago was, ‘Use everything but the squeal,’ because my grandparents were from the old stockyard neighborhood and they never wasted anything. So, I try to come up with different ideas for how to use every piece.” Atkinson works at Two Rivers School and the Si View Community Center, but she said she started her jewelry business roughly four years ago as part of her five-year plan to try to build a jewelry business while easing into retirement. She said what she hopes people take away from her pieces are simply nostalgia and quality. “I think people like it when they see it, it brings them back just a little bit,” she stated. “It makes them feel like home, or when they were a kid.” Atkinson sells her pieces at farmers markets and local businesses like the Black Dog Cafe. She said she’s received a lot of support as a businesswoman and has been invited to be an Artisans for Action at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup this year. “There’s lots of entrepreneurship (in the Valley),” she stated, mentioning photographer Mary Miller and The Healing Garden Massage Therapy owner Heather Ryan. “I see the community going towards and artsy kind of feel.”

Best Pizza: Frankie’s Pizza Valley monuments are pretty obvious: Mount Si, a roving elk herd, the Snoqualmie Falls – but when talking to residents about Frankie’s Pizza, it’s hard not to group it with local landmarks.
Frankie’s Pizza opened in 1988 and is currently owned by Jim and Frankie Westlake and Chris Garcia, who started working there in 1989. “(We) work hard,” said Garcia of North Bend. “We have great people who work for us and it’s a fun business to be in. It has its challenges at times, but so does everything.” Frankie’s Pizza serves traditional and gourmet pizzas, ranging from cheese to elaborate pesto pies. What started as a Valley staple eventu-
ally spread to Issaquah, Maple Valley, Enumclaw and Bonney Lake. When asked why Frankie’s has a special place in the hearts of Valley locals, Garcia attributes the love to quality service. “We try to make quality pizza and offer good service and just try our best,” Garcia continued. “We’re not perfect. If we mess up, we just try to make it right with people and work hard.” Although serving a quality product is an obvious, essential quality for an award-winning
business, most attribute Frankie’s fame to sheer community service and generosity. Frankie’s Pizza sponsors two $500 scholarships for Mount Si High School graduates annually and donates to so many events that Garcia can't list them all. “I think that we do a pretty good job of giving back,” he said. “We do a ton of donations, scholarships, community volunteer work — we’re pretty active in the community and I couldn’t even tell you how many things we sponsor.” North Bend’s manager Heidi

Ayres has worked in the service industry for 10 years; she’s a Bainbridge Island native, but spent years traveling before she and her husband decided to move to the Valley. “He’s honestly one of the best bosses I’ve ever had,” Ayres said of Garcia. She also praised his coowners. “They really care about the community, which is nice because, with all of the traveling I’ve done, I haven’t had the chance to get to know a community. So, it's like we actually have a place here, we feel like we have roots.”

Best Farm: The Nursery at Mount Si Nels Melgaard said the Nursery at Mount Si started from a simple sign, planted 17 years ago: “Plant Sale, 1 Mile.” Melgaard’s nursery has arguably the best view of the mountain from a North Bend businesses’ doorstep, but he said that wasn’t planned because, frankly, neither was his award-winning business. In search of land, Melgaard and his wife, Anne, a school teacher, moved here from Maple Valley in the early 1980s. They began Fortune Farms, an organic produce farm, and transitioned into ornamentals and away from farmers markets around the time their second child was born. “Even years before when I started the nursery,” Melgaard began, “when I moved out here, I had about three trailer-loads of pots in my front yard of things I dug from my other property, so people were stopping, right as we moved in (and asking), ‘Are you starting a nursery or something?’ It wasn’t even really on my radar. “I was working construction at the time and selling real estate and then I met some people who had a small, organic vegetable farm and I got some greenhouses... it just evolved. I never set out with a business plan… it just happened.”

Top: The Nursery at Mount Si founder Nels Melgaard stands inside of his greenhouse among a plethora of perennials. Right: Nursery staff work on the grounds. The nursery sources its plants almost exclusively from mom-and-pop growers in Oregon, what he described as the “mecca” of commercial, wholesale nurseries. Melgaard said they’re a grower-direct nursery, which means they take rooted cuttings and repot them. People can also bring their own pots and wish lists and they’ll make specialized displays. He’s quick to note that working in a nursery isn’t spending your days smelling the roses. Melgaard said they make 90 percent of their income from March to June and described a typical work day as a high-maintenance retail environment. People “think it’s kind of
passive and you just get to tip-toe through the tulips, but it’s ball-busting, constant work… You’re fighting the elements all the time. North Bend’s very unforgiving at times and we get stuck in the wet and rain.” When asked why he thinks the Valley has been so receptive to the nursery, he said it’s thanks to his knowledgeable staff, although he said the support of his wife’s stable
These people don’t need last names any more. The dedicated locals who consistently make the list for readers’ choice of Best Community Volunteer have become household names. There’s Bev Jorgenson, a North Bend resident and chairperson for the Valley’s Relay for Life event. “I want to be a volunteer, that’s my passion,” she said. “I want to help. If I could afford to just be a volunteer and not do anything else, then I would devote my life to that.” And there’s Nels Melgaard, who you’ve already read about as owner of the Best Farm in the Valley, The Nursery at Mount Si. Melgaard wears many hats in the community, including business owner, Grange board member and wrestling coach, although he’s had to limit his activities for health reasons. He doesn’t deny very many requests. “If my name is synonymous with The Nursery at Mount Si, well the Nursery doesn’t say no often to any organization that wants to do something,” he said. And there’s Danny Kolke, creator of the acclaimed Boxley’s Place, Boxley Music Fund, and two of the Valley’s newest big events, the North Bend Jazz and Blues Walks. It all centers on music for Kolke, a professional musician himself. He created the Boxley Music Fund to support live music events, and his restaurant hosts student performances every week, in addition to live music every night. He said he started the club almost six years ago, because there weren’t many jazz clubs that kids could go to. “Our goal with the music fund is to support the community,” he said.
income during the economic downturn kept his business from going under. He also organizes summer concerts and evening events to keep the community engaged. “(The nursery’s) kind of a minor institution, I guess,” he stated. “We’ve got a great customer base, but it’s a tough business… We’re the upper-Valley plant place, and we don’t take that for granted.”

Thank you for voting for Frankie’s Best Pizza for the last 12 years.
BEST OF 2015
Bob Venera, longtime firefighter in North Bend and recently transferred to Issaquah, was top of the list in the votes for firefighters in the 2015 Best of the Valley reader survey. It’s not a new spot for the 20-year veteran of North Bend’s Station 87. He was a winner in 2011, as well. Venera grew up in the Valley, graduating from Mount Si High School in 1981, and watching the community change dramatically over the years. “A few big (changes) stand out,” Venera wrote in an e-mail message to the Record. “Going from mainly volunteer — it was just my dad (Jerry Venera, a firefighter for 10 years and eventually the North Bend Fire Chief ) and Tom Needham as the paid crew — to career personnel, starting of the paramedic unit to today having two paramedics. North Bend and the Upper Snoqualmie Valley are so lucky to have a medic unit stationed there. And (building) the new fire station.” He’s also seen a few big incidents, such as the explosion in North Bend last spring, and the Nov. 24, 2011, apartment fire that injured two people and displaced dozens of residents for the holidays. He received one of Eastside Fire & Rescue’s first-ever awards, a life-saving award, for his actions at that fire. “I just happened to be driving past and saw Snoqualmie Fire (the North Bend engine was on a separate CPR call on I-90) just arriving, so I stopped to help them. Once the fire was knocked down, I was getting ready to leave, when a KCP officer ran around the corner and said a women was having a heart attack. So we went back there and started CPR and we revived her.” He had a few role models in his career, including Scott Foster and Ken Alm, both firefighters who retired earlier this year. “Combined they had somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 years in the fire service,” Venera wrote. “Scott was a longtime volunteer with Snoqualmie, a fire dispatcher and then a paid firefighter. Ken was originally hired by my dad with the North Bend Fire Department. He finished his career as a lieutenant with Eastside Fire and served a long time at the station on the North end of the Pine Lake Plateau.” Asked what one thing he would like everyone to know about fire prevention and safety, he had a ready answer. “Hands down smoke detectors save lives. That’s an easy one.”

Dylan Glaser, a project biologist with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, described his daily work less than enthusiastically, at first. “I walk up streams, usually I’m bushwhacking all the way, to quantify the habitat information,� for various species, he said. But then, he also needs to take sediment samples, he says. “So, I’ve got dirt, and water, and I’m stirring them together with, essentially a big stick, and I realized, wow, I’m getting paid to make mud pies!� Joseph Mangano, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Oregon Water Science Center, and a 2006 graduate of Mount Si High School, intended to start his talk with the number of Schools Foundation grants he thought he directly benefitted from while a student. After hearing Mabry talk, though, he had to adjust that number upward. “I had no idea that the groundwater thing was a foundation grant, too,� he admitted. The groundwater “thing,� or model, was one of the first pieces of equipment that Mabry had purchased for her science classes, with the help of a foundation grant. She recalled giving the device to two of her middle school students, girls who seemed unchallenged by the regular curriculum, and telling them to use the model to examine the effects of pollution in a water table. “If you don’t have a 13- or 14-year-old girl in your home, you probably want to get one,� Mabry told the audience of nearly 500 guests at the luncheon March 19. “They want to solve the world’s problems.� So, apparently, does Mabry, who has applied for and been named a finalist in the Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship program. The fellowship awards will be announced mid-April. If selected, Mabry would spend the next 11 months working with federal agencies to expand science opportunities in education. Basically, it’s what she’s doing now, just on a larger scale. Mabry feels strongly that all students, but girls, especially, need more opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math. While most students have the computer skills by the time they get to middle school, she said, they don’t necessarily have the exposure to a diversity of subjects that could help them select a scientific field. To give those students that exposure, Mabry pursued, and was awarded, Schools Foundation grants for a variety of projects. She has received $16,000 in foundation grants over the years, supplemented by $9,000 in PTSA grants, which have made possible such rare student opportunities as two marine biology research trips to Costa Rica, and one to the Salish Sea. “All of those trips were great experiences, and wouldn’t have been possible without funding, so let’s keep it going,� said Glaser.

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

Seeing green Students given tools to build a better Washington By ALLYCE ANDREW Staff Reporter
At 11 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, the Snoqualmie Elementary School fifthgrade classes were in an unlikely place. Instead of hunkering down at their desks, they were huddled close to the ground at Oxbow Farms in Carnation.
“I think it’s a leech!” one of Danette Hruska’s students exclaimed about a specimen in a neon, ominous looking plastic container, as they combed the marshy farmlands during a wetland study at the 25-acre vegetable farm. It’s a stark comparison to a traditional learning environment — if the student had found the leech prowling around his fifth-grade classroom, his tone might have been different. “I’ve been trying to make the classroom come alive by taking the kids to do hands-on science outside,” Hruska explained. “It’s just really important to me that they can take those concepts and apply them outside to the real
world and extend their thinking.” Hruska has trekked outside with her students for the last eight years to study stream quality, stream bank restoration, the wetlands and forest ecology. She said her nature-based program is growing, and this year marked the first collaboration with Mount Si High School’s AP biology and environmental science classes, where they’ll work on upkeep of the wetlands behind their school. “At least, for our students here,” she continued about the program, “it corresponds to the units that we do in the classroom. So, we study geology and how erosion and deposition affect the changing surface of the
land, and so this helps kind of bring it full circle.” This is the school’s first year partnering with Nature Vision and visiting Oxbow, as they’ve worked with Mountains to Sound Greenway and Toole Farm in the past. Nature Vision is a Woodinville-based, nonprofit environmental education program that travels throughout King and Snohomish Counties and works with kids inside and outside of the classroom. Kelly Wohlwend, a Washington-state native, has worked with Nature Vision since October 2013. As she cleaned up after an educational water-cycle game, she explained the draw of outdoor teaching.
Snoqualmie Police take the plunge for Special Olympics On Saturday, March 14, the Snoqualmie Police Department Special Olympics Polar Plunge Team was in rare form, raising money for Washington Special Olympians. The event was held in Redmond at Idylwood Beach Park in the frigid waters of Lake Sammamish. The SnoPo team raised more than $2,500 and Officer James Sherwood won the award for the largest individual fund Courtesy Photo raiser with over $2,300. The Snoqualmie Police Department’s polar plunge team is, from left: Records/evidence techni- This is the second year the cian Janelle Knight; Peyton McCulley, daughter of Police Chief Steve McCulley and a freshman department has participated in the Polar Plunge Event. at UW; Officer James Sherwood; Captain Nick Almquist and Police Chief Steve McCulley.
“It’s really important for (kids) to understand the place they live in so they can take care of it, because they are the people who are going to be responsible for the health of our environment in the future. “Once they put a plant in the ground, they have ownership of it. That’s why when kids have their own gardens, it shows them how they can plant things and how they grow and I think it gives them some kind of connection they would miss out on otherwise.” One of these fifth-grade future hopefuls from Cynthia Hodgins’s visting class was Shira Shecter, 11, and she seemed to thrive from the outdoor adventure.
After a lengthy safety introduction, Hodgins and her classmates planted small native plants to provide habitat, food and prevent soil erosion. While some of her classmates were slowly dragging worms from the ground, she was running a relay with shrub potters. Her enthusiasm isn’t surprising as she said the forest was her favorite part of Oxbow. She listed science as one of her favorite subjects, besides reading and art. When asked why a study like this was important, she quipped, “so that you can figure out how to protect it.” Her curt response seems to prove the theory that some things are best studied outside of the classroom.
