History moves on for Fall City artist Don Fels, who holds up his last surviving photo viewer at the historic Reinig Road sycamore corridor near Snoqualmie. Vandals took the rest, but Fels believes his big concrete-mounted model is still around because it was too heavy to steal. He is replacing it to promote an ongoing Snoqualmie Valley Historical Society museum exhibit.

Vanishing history Vandals can’t stop Fall City artist from questioning mill town’s past BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor

Outside of a thin line of trees, English ivy covers everything along the historic Sycamore Corridor. Planted by an unwitting gardener three generations ago, the noxious weed has strangled

most of the trees beside the lane of giant, gnarled sycamores that mark a last vestige of the old company town of Snoqualmie Falls. To historians like Fall City public artist Don Fels, history itself is under siege in the corridor. “It’s being eaten up,” said Fels. Last month, Fels installed a row of viewing devices, small cones that show views of the corridor, past and present, this summer. The viewers, which included three foot-long, SEE HISTORY, 2

City planners are weighing approval this fall of a proposed expansion of trucking services in North Bend. A group of landowners led by Puget Western, Inc., are in talks with the city about new tractor-trailer parking and services next to the existing TravelCenters of America hub off Interstate 90’s exit 34. The discussion comes as North Bend considers how the recently annexed Tanner neighborhood will grow. North Bend’s TravelCenter has capacity for about 170 trucks. But on busy days, overflow semi-trailer traffic leads to trucks parking on side streets. With the proposal, the city is working to identify what expansion would mean for the wider community. “It’s become a question of what is better,” said Gina Estep, North Bend’s Director of Planning and Development. “Plan for accommodating trucks using North Bend as a service area? Or limit it and address the overflow impacts that could occur 20 years from now in a need for additional truck space.” The city has already created an overlay district that would allow expansion of about 12 acres. Estep said property owners want more land than that. Estep’s department recommends that additional expansion be based on a development agreement and analysis of economic and truck parking impacts. Wear and tear on city streets would also have to be mitigated. Estep also stressed the need to consider the wider impacts of increased truck traffic. “It needs to be done in conjunction with a regional plan,” she said. Such a regional freight mobility plan might require a trucking developer to consult with the Port of Seattle, Washington State Department of Transportation and the State Patrol.

Quality of life

Some North Bend residents who have followed the expansion issue have questioned what it would mean for local quality of life. “The noise and, most of all, the pollution from the trucks idling during their layover, which could be up to 10 hours, is a significant health concern,” said resident Frank Cranney. Former North Bend planning commissioner and Wood River resident Sherwood Korssjoen questions how the expansion will shape North Bend’s future. SEE TRUCKS, 3

bright-yellow cardboard cones and a more-substantial wood and metal construction, were an addition to Fels’ current exhibit on the lost community of Snoqualmie Falls, on view through October at the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum. The smaller cones showed how ivy has transformed the landscape along Reinig Road, a rural road that was once a suburban neighborhood called Riverside. His largest viewer shows how the scene looked during the company town’s heyday in the early 20th century. Snoqualmie Falls vanished altogether by the early ‘80s, but King County declared the leafy corridor an official historic landmark. Besides showing visitors new vistas, Fels’ viewers were also marked with signs calling attention to invisible legacies. His largest sign tells passerby, in bright, primary colors, “Look, houses were here.” “I wanted people to think,” Fels said. “My intention was to add questions. I wasn’t going to get any answers, because I don’t have the answers.” In his exhibits, Fels explored the meaning behind the company town, a task he suspects is a Valley first. “Why the town was built?” he asked. “Why was it taken apart? And what do we do

when we memorialize something here? There’s no memorial to the town itself, which was here for 50 years. There’s only a memorial to some trees, which are really incidental to the whole issue of why there were houses here.” Fels wasn’t finished. He planned to post thought-provoking questions on the town and legacy next to the viewers. “But I never got to that place, because they got destroyed,” he said.

Smashed viewers Fels’ Reinig Road exhibit itself is now a thing of the past. Two weeks after he installed it, vandals tore down his large viewer and made off with the three smaller ones. While his outdoor exhibit wasn’t built to last, Fels is mystified about why it was destroyed so quickly. “I thought the weather would kill them,” he said. Fels built the viewers to last a summer season, but lousy weather delayed installation until August. Still, he thought, “that’s a couple months they can be up there. A bunch of people travel that road. Maybe they’ll get out,” take a look, and be inspired to visit the museum. But at least a few passersby didn’t understand the objects. Visiting the site one day, Fels corrected a driver who believed the installation heralded a new housing development.

One of Don Fels’ viewers, as it appeared on the Reinig Road historic sycamore corridor prior to a spate of vandalism. Inset, the corridor as it looked circa 1940. “She thought houses were going to be built here,” he said. The vandals didn’t destroy a lot in monetary value, but Fels said he spent many weeks on the project. “I was really disappointed,” he said. “To destroy the whole thing—why? Did someone want to take the viewers home? Were they upset because I asked about ivy?”

New looks Fels plans to refurbish his largest viewer and return it to the corridor, helping to promote the ongoing exhibition. “I would love for people to take a look, just because it asks a lot of questions,” he said. “I want people to be interested.” Dave Battey, the museum’s

unofficial mill town historian, was able to look through Fels’ viewers before they were knocked out. “To me, it was really valuable stuff,” Battey said. “The houses have been gone for a long time. People lose track of the fact, of why we have this living landmark.” “It gives people clues,” he added. “The other issue is, what’s native and what isn’t? He asked the question, are sycamores native? What about ivy?” Fels is fascinated by the what-might-have-beens of the lost town, and what it still rep-

resents for the Valley. “It’s important to know about the past,” he said. “If you don’t know about it, are you going to repeat the mistakes that were already made?” At Snoqualmie Falls, residents had free heat and electricity, a hospital, a community center, entertainment. “They had everything,” Fels said. “Everybody walked to work. It was sustainable by today’s standards.” But by mid-century, company town living wasn’t good enough. “Everybody wanted to be connected,” he said. Fels still wonders whether Snoqualmie Falls could have adapted to the new century. “Almost 50 years later, they built Snoqualmie Ridge,” he said. “People have to drive everywhere. It’s almost the antithesis. You might ask, were no lessons learned from the town? What happened to that model? Did it all just go up in smoke?” • Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum’s Snoqualmie Falls exhibit remains on view through October at 320 Bendigo Boulevard S., North Bend.

The heat is on: Remodels wrap for school year Upgrades at Mount Si, Chief Kanim, Opstad save some green BY ALLISON ESPIRITU Staff Reporter

The changes are subtle. Mount Si High School students might not even notice the new floors, skylights and heating system. But the new materials and technology, installed this summer during remodels at Mount Si, Chief Kanim Middle School and Opstad Elementary, are designed to save the Snoqualmie Valley School District some significant money. Roughly $22 million of last February’s $27 million construction bond paid for repairs and improvements at the three schools. Additional funds came from a $785,674 grant from Puget Sound Energy for implementation of energy efficiency upgrades, and $442,463 from state matching funds

for capital projects that went toward the new Wildcat Court. The courtyard was proposed following flood repairs at the high school. “The last bond made possible all upgrades to buildings across the district. A lot went to Mount Si,” said Carolyn Malcolm, Snoqualmie Valley School District spokeswoman. All three schools got upgrades to heating and cooling systems. Mount Si now has a centralized geothermal heating and cooling plant, which uses groundwater from a nearby aquifer as an energy source. Opstad and Chief Kanim received refurbishment of existing air handlers and fan coils. Mount Si will see a savings estimated at $125,000 per year, while Opstad and Chief Kanim will save about $55,000 per year combined for gas and electricity. The schools’ general lighting fixtures have been replaced with ultra-high efficiency units. Lights will last 50 per-

“There are 275 vehicles impacting that intersection and it’s built for 174,” Korssjoen said. “On a Sunday night, there’s a minimum of 220 trucks on site and an additional 30 to 50 trucks parked on the streets and roads.” The North Bend City Council is considering a no-idle ordinance to mitigate diesel exhaust concerns. “We’re planning on reducing impacts, versus having impacts drive us because we didn’t think ahead,” Estep said. The North Bend planning commission has not made a recommendation on the issue. • The North Bend City Council will take public comment on expansion at its Tuesday, Sept. 21, regular meeting. The council meets at 7 p.m. at Mount Si Senior Center, 411 Main Ave. S.

ou’re only as rich as your memory. That’s how Snoqualmie Railroad Days Grand Marshal Harley Brumbaugh put it, reflecting on his lifetime of experience in the area. “Cling to the things that brought you here, and don’t be talked out of it,” Brumbaugh said this summer, giving voice to a local longing toward preserving our historic heritage. Brumbaugh makes a good point. This Valley is changing and growing all the SETH TRUSCOTT time, and our heriValley Record Editor tage has literally disappeared in some places. Take the vanished Snoqualmie Falls neighborhood of Riverside. The homes of the logging town were torn down or moved, and the neighborhood itself has faded into the undergrowth. Memories remain, but even those seem to be under threat—a few days ago, some miscreant vandalized an interactive display that recalls the original scene. That vandalism shows that more people need to know that our history is special and worth preserving. Locals should consider visiting the

Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum in North Bend, where the main exhibit—which the Riverside markers were promoting before they were torn down and stolen—is on the history of Snoqualmie Falls. In Snoqualmie, downtown merchants are considering putting together a downtown preservation initiative aimed at preserving the commercial roots of the community. Carnation’s Tolt Historical Society is at work researching and preserving the history of that community, and is moving its collection of vintage artifacts to Camp Korey, formerly Carnation Farm. Likewise, the Fall City Historical Society is putting out a new book, “Preserving the Stories of Fall City,” which collects the oral remembranc-

es of longtime residents. If locals don’t take a hand in exploring, preserving and protecting our past, then we lose our roots. We’ve got to know where we came from to understand where we are going.

Valley-speak

Have you ever noticed that Valley residents—some call them Valleyites— have their own special nicknames and phrases for area venues, vistas and neighborhoods. Some of this local lingo is quickly understood: The Ridge, Upper and Lower Valley, and Wilderness Rim, for example, are pretty self-explanatory. Others are a little more esoteric. Who, for example, can tell me what the Boy Scout Bridge is, or who put the Ernie in Ernie’s Grove? How many

folks know that Carnation was once called Tolt—and someday, perhaps, may be so called again? And when, if ever, should a North Bend resident be called a No-Bender? In our own effort to share Valley heritage, this newspaper is collecting local sayings, phrases and place names in a mini-encyclopedia or dictionary of sorts. The results will be published in our upcoming Fall/Winter Valley Visitor’s Guide. You can help by sharing your facts and tales. Together, we can clear up the origins of Tokul Creek and explain why the Raging River rages. Send your thoughts and suggestions to editor@valleyrecord.com, or drop a line to P.O. Box 300, Snoqualmie, WA, 98065. Let’s keep spreading this local lingo around, before it’s forgotten.

exhaustion I regretfully forgot, but who were prepared to risk their lives in an effort to save mine. Thank you very much. In addition, I want to heartily thank several locals, like Nevan Bacon, who, when he encountered me, wet and trudging down the endless Middle Fork Road, abandoned his own important pursuit to drive me fifteen miles to the ranger station, then to a

hotel; Sam Mao of the Sunset Hotel, who let get a room even though I did not have money, checked in on me, and then drove me back to the ranger station in the morning; Richard at Twede’s Café, who allowed me to get a meal; Patti at the ranger station; who tried very hard to arrange a ride back to my car for me; and to Steve Widen and Kim Clark of Seattle, who overheard these efforts, and did then in fact drive me back to my car near Skykomish, almost 75 miles out of their way. The warmth and concern of all concerned warmed my heart. John Burton Oakland, Calif.

Farewell to a fine public servant On September 1, 2010, a little piece of Snoqualmie Valley history slipped away, taking

twenty years worth of memories and accomplishments with her. Valley residents are familiar with the name Elena Montgomery, the North Bend Finance Director since 1990. Elena has adorned your television screens on the ever-popular council meeting broadcasts and has made countless presentations to citizens over the years. Elena now has the pleasure of retiring only to watch her co-workers grind away from the safety of her abode on Snoqualmie Ridge. What a twenty years it has been! Elena has seen North Bend through the construction of the Factory Stores and Nintendo facilities, a ten-year development moratorium, and a bushel full of mayors and council members. Elena came to the city from a company in Redmond so as to eliminate her commute and be closer to her children. Both her kids and the citizens were the winners. Elena started as an accounting technician responsible for payroll, accounts payable, and business taxes. She even took minutes at the council meeting before a new city clerk was hired. In 1991, she was promoted to accounting supervisor and after taking numerous courses on public finance, was again promoted to finance director in 1996. During Elena’s tenure as director, the city of North Bend has had 18 consecutive “clean” audits. This is no small feat. The financial stability of the city directly relates to the city’s bond rating, which recently was boosted. Better bond ratings mean lower interest rates and lower taxes. North Bend is the smallest Washington city with such a designation. Ms. Montgomery guided North Bend through some of its most difficult financial times. By closely watching revenues, and expenditures even closer, the city has endured this most recent recession in an excellent financial position. Elena will be missed greatly for her stability and wisdom. North Bend will miss a dedicated public servant who gave the citizens what they paid for. What could be a more fitting tribute than that? Duncan Wilson North Bend City Administrator

Young Red Wolves squad aims high By Valley Record Staff

Wildcat football looks to surprise BY RHETT WORKMAN Contributing Writer

Coming off a strong 2009 season that saw their third state appearance in four years, the Mount Si football team looks to make a splash again in a Kingco 3A league loaded with tough teams. Turnout was big for the Wildcats this autumn: nearly 50 freshmen and more than 60 sophomores, juniors and seniors tried out. “We have three full levels of football teams in our program,” said coach Charlie Kinnune. “We’re up over 100 and really excited about our present and our future.” Back for his 19th season, Kinnune is the dean of Kingco coaches in terms of experience, and he thinks that has a lot to do with community expectations. “What that really says is that our community is pretty stable, our community desires continuity,” Kinnune said. “I think they’ve generally been happy with the product that we’ve put on the field.” The product this year is expected to be a strong one, led by tight end Joe Farmer. The senior, who has generated some buzz on Internet recruiting sites, is being looked at by several Division I colleges, and Kinnune hopes Farmer can live up to the high expectations. “We expect a Division I performance from Joe,” the coach said. “If he wants to play on Saturdays at the Division I level, he’s going to have to dominate on both sides of the ball out here.” Farmer knows what’s expected of him. “I’ve just got to go out and play hard every play (and) just prove that I deserve those offers,” he said. Other players to watch include senior quarterback Ian Ilgenfritz, senior running back Shelby Williams, and a line which includes seniors Alec Deichman, Tino Paophavihanh and Kasey Channita. Among the top new-

A sophomore who made waves last winter as a freshman helping lead the Wildcats boys basketball team, Riley will be playing wide receiver, and he’s ready. “They can expect energy and just playing with heart and giving it my all at all times,” Riley said. Kingco is expected to be extremely difficult this season. Many expect Liberty, led by their big three of quarterback Trey Wheeler, running back Chandler Jenkins and wide receiver Jake Bainton, to possibly contend for a state title. Then, there’s Bellevue, always difficult every year, and upstarts Juanita and Mercer Island also are expected to be big challenges. But the goal remains the same. “Every year, our goal is to be playing a significant Week 10 game,” Kinnune said. “We believe that an early tough schedule and a tough league schedule makes us very, very strong for our tenth game.” Mount Si opened their home schedule last week against Bothell. This week they play Lake Washington in the league opener at Lake Washington.

Coming off a strong 2009 season, the Cedarcrest varsity football team is aiming high in what would normally be a rebuilding year. “We are a young team,” said seven-year head coach Jason Frederick. “We graduated a lot of seniors last year.” Top newcomers include Nick Gagner, Martin Vakamoce, Zac Wilhelm, Axel Ellsworth and Josh Davidson. Frederick also has a corps of returners to count on, including Jared Klingenberg, Paul Wilen, Tanner Marty, Clayton Fleming, Chris Dowd and Justin Houser. “We are working to finish toward the top in league,” said Frederick, whose goal for the Red Wolves is to “become a team and form a strong brotherhood.” Recent Cedarcrest graduates on the gridiron at college level include Jacob Kreigbaum at Whitworth, and Evan Schreurs, a freshman at Pacific University. Assistants include George Anderson, Scott Henry, Jerrell Wills, Dave Ryles, Hal Webb, Mike Miyoshi and Rick Grey.

‘Cats add big name to loaded team Could this make them the favorites to win state in 2010? BY RHETT WORKMAN

It’s been a tough conference for the Cedarcrest volleyball team. But with six returning seniors and some key underclassmen, the Red Wolves are looking to finish in front ranks. Back for his third season, coach Brandon Jones will draw on returning senior outside hitters Hannah Smythe and Jessica Knoth, an all-league honorable mention last season. He also has a strong newcomer in middle blocker Katie Birum. Important seniors include setter Lindsey Smith, defensive specialists Natalie Anderson and Hanna Paradis and middle blocker RaeLea Davidson. The Red Wolves finished last season 2-12, and face the two-time defending 1A state champion and 2A state runner ups in the Cascade conference. Jones’ team goal is to make it to state. “Our girls have been working hard all summer to accomplish this goal,” he said. “My philosophy is that hard work pays off. We put in extra time in the gym so that it pays off in our games. “This season, we are looking to cash in on all of the hard work that we have put in for the last two years,” Jones added.

With three straight state appearances and two trophies in the last three years, the Mount Si High School volleyball team has seen some stellar seasons. The Wildcats’ chances of making it four in a row are good this fall, as they welcome a big-name transfer whose talent, when added to what is already here, could make Mount Si a favorite to win it all in 2010. Senior Catie Fry, a 1A allstate player as a junior in 2009 with Life Christian, joins a strong core of Wildcat returners including seniors Zoe Gogan and Aubrey Larion. Mount Si coach Bonnie Foote, in her 11th year at the helm of the program, said that even with all the plusses, her program still has room to improve. “We haven’t tapped out yet, so I’m pretty excited about that,” Foote said. Fry, who has verbally committed to Central Washington next season, knew the transition would be seamless.

new school if I already knew people.” The new senior is ready to contribute. “I hope to bring a whole level of athleticism and just a whole role of leadership, and take it and win state this year,” Fry said. Gogan and Larion are coteam captains this year.

“I expect them to keep getting better. I expect for them to keep improving,” the coach said. “They have great leadership already. Both of them are real quiet leaders and they lead by example.” Gogan has verbally committed to Washington State, and Larion is undecided, but is expected to sign, too. The Wildcats are expected to be a heavy favorite to win Kingco, but the main challenge once again in getting there will be their chief nemesis Mercer Island. Last year’s meetings between the two teams were heated not just on the floor but off it as well, and that likely will not change this fall. If the ‘Cats stay focused, they can be successful against the Islanders, “just by being us,” Fry said. “We’re talented enough, so we’ll take it to them.” Mount Si drew 53 girls to tryouts this fall, and narrowed that field down to 39. The decisions were not easy because of the skill level that all players brought to the court. This group includes a number of other top returners, such as seniors Baylee Sinner, Erika Clark, Amanda Gates and Molly Hitch, junior Sarah McDonald and sophomore Lauren Smith. All except Smith played club volleyball in the offseason. Foote is hoping this season is special. “All I can go by is what we’re going to be and hope that we hold ourselves to a high standard and get better,” she said.

Strong turnout for Cedarcrest XC

Youth infusion for Si runners Local programs helping fill squad

By Valley Record Staff

Cedarcrest High’s cross country team returns as a strong local contender in the Cascade Conference. Last season, the Red Wolves took first out of seven teams in the Cascade championships, first out of 14 teams in the Northwest District Championships and third of 16 teams in the 2A state championships. Top returning athletes include senior Cara Strodel, who took sixth at state last year and 10th in 2008 and 2007. “Cara is looking to make the podium for the fourth time in cross country,” said coach Bruce McDowell, who returns for his 18th season. Other strong returners include seniors Jessica Beam and Tia Smith. Top newcomers to varsity status include freshman runners Diana Carr and Amelia Anderson. “They’re a good bunch of runners who have started to figure out what it takes to make the bump to the next level of running,” McDowell said. The team is not as deep as in previous years, but the Red Wolves remain the team to beat in the conference, which is improving this season. McDowell expects Cedarcrest to be the favorite for a conference title and to contend for a state trophy.

Boys outlook The Red Wolf boys cross country contingent returns a big chunk of last year’s varsity squad, including the top three runners. The Cedarcrest boys team took fourth of seven teams in the Cascade Conference last season, and eighth of 14 teams in the Northwest district championships. “The team has had a really productive summer of training,” McDowell said. “The team has the potential to be a state qualifier.” Top returners this season include seniors Josh Denison and Chad Linnerooth, juniors Mitchell Montgomery and Dante Bournique and sophomore Cody Wanichek.

Taking fifth at a Tahoma meet, the Cedarcrest cross country captains include Cara Strodel, Jessica Beam, Josh Denison, Chad Linnerooth and Mitchell Montgomery. Newcomers claiming varsity status include sophomore Dominic Dams and freshman Logan Orndorf. The conference is solid, McDowell said, containing several strong opponents. Still, fans can look for the Red Wolf boys to be one of the top contenders in the Cascades. “Josh, Mitchell and Chad will need to make that move to the top tier of individual runners,” McDowell said. McDowell’s goal is for athletes to run to their potential, while having the time of their lives. “There is more to cross country than running,” he said. “We continue to incorporate a family approach to our team. “After they leave the program, our goal is for them to become life-long runners,” the coach added. “We coach for all of the levels of runners.” Recent Cedarcrest grads competing in college running this season include freshman Missy Dowd at Lipscomb University, Tenn., Sara Hoppe and A. Chittenden at Evergreen State College, and Hayden Teachout at Southern Oregon University. Assistant Dean Vergillo is in his fourth year at Cedarcrest.

ITCHIN’ TO WIN?

START SCRATCHIN’!

Mount Si’s cross country program appears to be feeling the influence of growth in running sports in the Valley. That influence is being seen in several ways, including a large turnout of freshmen athletes. “We’re feeling a lot of the benefit of having cross country programs in the middle schools,” said coach Christine Kjenner, a longtime Mount Si math teacher in her eighth season with the team. Snoqualmie Valley HUB running programs and annual Run Snoqualmie races are making an impact. Kjenner offered special praise to local race promoter Sean Sundwall, who organized the Aug. 21 Snoqualmie Days run. The large group of freshmen on both the boys and girls teams will have some solid experience to look up to, as the team returns some excellent runners. Leading the way on the boys’ side are senior Michael Blackmon and junior Richard Carmichael.

Freshman Audrey Bottemiller, junior Kendall Maddux and freshman Bailey Scott should make a strong impact for Mount Si.

“We’ve got a lot of new faces out here,” said Carmichael, who is excited about what lies ahead. “I think we’ll do well this year.” On the girls’ side, junior Kendall Maddux will look to fill the shoes of graduate Alex Rudd, who is running this fall for Southern Oregon University. The girls did well last season. “This year, hopefully, we get that or better,” Maddux said. For both Maddux and Carmichael, being among the top upperclassmen on a freshman-laden team means they will have to show leadership. “I’ve just got to go out there and show the young guys how to act—be a model citizen out there, just show them how to pace themselves,” Carmichael said. Kjenner is expecting big things from the Lady Wildcats. “Our girls have a good shot at going to district,” she said. Faces to watch include freshman Abby Bottemiller and sophomore Ashley Jackson. The boys, on the other hand, have some work to do, but Kjenner is also hoping for some good results. “The boys need to all come through,” Kjenner said. “I think there’s the potential for the boys to be there if they can pull each other up, so we have a strong seven.” With respect to the league, she looks for Bellevue and Mercer Island to have the best chances to win that title this season. Mount Si has two home meets this season, one on Wednesday, Sept. 15 and the other in October. These meets will be held on a course which encompasses areas on and near the Snoqualmie Elementary School campus.

Experienced group for Wildcat soccer Mount Si’s girls’ soccer team is at its most experienced level in years. Combined with a rebuilding trend affecting most other teams in Kingco 3A this season, that experience could aid the Wildcats in a state drive. “This year, I expect great things,” said coach Darren Brown, back for his eighth season. With 11 seniors on his team, he is certainly expecting quite a bit. “It’s the most seniors I’ve ever had on our roster, which I like. It’s great,” Brown said. Leading that group of 11 is Alexis Pearlstein, who has verbally committed to Ball State, a D-I Mid-American Conference school in Indiana. She says fans should look for nothing less than the best from this veteran team. “People can expect hard play,” the defender said. “We’re old, so we should know how to win.” If she signs, Pearlstein would be the second girls’ D-I player in three years for Brown; the other, Nikki Stanton, graduated in 2008 and plays for Fairfield in Connecticut. Other players to watch include seniors Jessica Hargett and Hailey Conway, junior Laura Barnes, and sophomores Alyssa Proudfoot, Molly Sellers and

A strong body of veteran players should give the Cedarcrest girls soccer team a leg up in its traditional hunt for Cascade League glory. Cedarcrest took third in the Cascade Conference last season, advanced to the state playoffs and fell in the second round. Top returning players include McKenna Swanson, Maggie Pleis, Lauren Rodger, and Laura Hisler. Newcomer Rachel Wilhelm also looks to make an impact. Senior captain and forward Erica Debrecht “has great field vision and comprehension of the tactics of the match,” said coach Denis Watts, back for his third season. Senior Marissa Keefe, a captain and goalkeeper, is returning after multiple knee injuries sidelined her in prior seasons. She is focused and working hard for her final year. Midfielder Brenna Eldredge was a standout cross country runner in prior years, but as the youngest daughter of a true soccer family, she could not resist playing soccer in her final year. Another senior, goalkeeper Jordan Cleman, is an accomplished club player returning for her final year. The team’s goal each year is to advance to District I playoffs, and hope for a good draw at state.

softball) will be fine. “She’s such a hard worker, I have no doubt that she’ll do nothing but her best,” Pearlstein said. The league, according to Brown, is down this year, after having a number of top players graduate, such as Sammamish’s Anna Geldenhuys, MI’s Erin Bourginon and Bellevue’s Kate Bennett, but he suspects that his team may still be in for a fight. Liberty, with their budding phenom Cassidy Nangle, is seen by Brown to be the favorite this fall, despite bringing in a new coach. “If you look at their roster, they’re stacked,” Brown said. It will be an interesting season. But Pearlstein said it’s all up to the team. “We can go as far as we want to,” she said. “It just depends on our mindset on the season.”

Miranda Rawlings. Sellers, who plays a lot of basketball during the year, both with Mount Si and a local club team, said playing soccer benefits her hoops skills. “It helps you with your speed,” she said. “It’s a lot faster out here on the soccer field than it is on the basketball court and it helps you with the side to side movement and the quick spurts.” Another key player to keep an eye on is the team’s new goalkeeper. Senior Carly Weidenbach takes over for graduate Marika Loudenback, and she will have a tough act to follow, as the goalkeepers under Brown—Loudenback, Jessica Blessard and Caitlin Braun—all found tremendous success, with both Blessard and Braun translating that into college rides at Eastern

No strangers to golf success With top transfer, team should contend again in 2010 By Rhett Workman Contributing Writer

Coming off two straight state showings, the Mount Si boys’ golf team sees a change at the top this fall, with a new coach who himself is no stranger to success as a Wildcat golfer. As a Mount Si senior, Proudfoot helped the ‘Cats finish as a state tournament runner-up in 2002, a performance only recently eclipsed by Mount Si’s runaway title victory in 2009. This fall, Proudfoot takes over for longtime Wildcat golf coach Mike Johnston, who left following last season. He hopes his experience rubs off on players. “Experience as a player will be beneficial for the kids,” Proudfoot said. “I can give them my insights on how to think their way around the golf course.” The new coach will be assisted by two new

www.valleyrecord.com

assistants: John McDermott and Erik Tierney. Anchoring the squad this fall are top returning senior Jack Kelly and a top newcomer, Sean Ballsmith, a junior who golfed the past two seasons for Eastside Catholic. Both players have competed on the summer Washington Junior Golf Association tour, and Kelly has also competed in events run by the American Junior Golf Association and Pacific Northwest Golf Association, in fact winning this year’s PNGA Men’s Amateur Public Links tournament in Bellingham, held August 28 and 29. Proudfoot is hoping these two players’ year-round focus will also rub off on the team. “The one thing I think our team lacks is tournament experience,” Proudfoot said. “That’s one thing I’m hoping to change.” He also seeks leadership from his two workhorses. Kelly and Ballsmith can help guide a fairly young but talented group. Junior Zach Frederick is also a face to watch. A C-team squad was added to the program this season, which should help in growing the program’s overall depth, something which had been lacking the last few years despite all the success. “Golf is only getting bigger in the Valley,” Proudfoot said. The youth program he is involved with has 400 athletes taking part. Boys’ golf is a fall sport with a spring state tourney.

GO RED WOLVES!

By Rhett Workman Contributing Writer

Mount Si’s tennis team may be young, but that youth may be a good thing for the future of a program which has struggled in the Kingco Conference. Wildcat coach and Mount Si photography teacher Jim Gibowski is back for his third season. The coach is excited about the group of freshmen he has on the roster this fall. “This the most talented group of freshmen we’ve had in my three years,” Gibowski said. Leading that group of freshmen is Camden Foucht, and

he may be one to watch for the next four years. Foucht’s potential could be endless, thanks to a unique skill he possesses. “Two forehands, left and right,” Gibowski explained. “That’s how I got taught as a kid.” Foucht has been participating in the sport for only two years, after his father introduced him to it. Asked about how he hopes things turn out this season, he was short and to the point: “I guess we’ll find out.” A couple of upperclass players to watch include senior Tyler Mrachek and

junior Azhar Khandehar. Gibowski says Khandehar can be successful with his speed. “He can outrun almost any ball and he drives people nuts on the court,” the coach said. As for Mrachek, he not only will be valuable on the court this fall, but off it as well, as he helps lead a team with a lot of new players. Mrachek plans to “step up and just help out what my team needs, give them advice, tell them how the matches work.” Mrachek said. Other players to pay attention to include senior Shane Hennig, junior Andrew Bottemiller and sophomore Josh Hamann. The Wildcats will likely benefit this season from a return to campus courts. The boys spent all of last season playing and practicing at Snoqualmie Community Park’s courts on Snoqualmie Ridge due to construction delays on the new Mount Si campus facilities. “It makes a big difference,” Gibowski said, referring to having six courts at the campus compared to the three they had on the Ridge. The league looks to follow the trends of the past 30 years, with Bellevue and Mercer Island the class of Kingco. That said, Mrachek has a modest goal in mind for his team. “We’re going to try to send a couple people to Kingco and try to get as much success at we can,” he said.

For the love of books

“I don’t think Used books seller finds reading business books are going to go away.” recession-proof

Jackie Barber, Phoenix Books owner

BY ALLISON ESPIRITU Staff Reporter

Bookstore owner Jackie Barber gets a lot of surprised looks from customers walking inside Phoenix Books. The North Bend store, based out of a small house on Bendigo Boulevard, looks small, but its interior contains more than 10,000 books. “From the street, a lot of people ask, ‘Why bother?’” Barber said. “But when you come in, it goes back and back and back, and there’s a lot more space than people realize.” What became the store was Barber’s first Valley home when she moved here in 1986. She had dreamed of opening a bookshop, and three years ago, she transformed it from a rental house to a store.

“I loved owning books and can’t imagine not owning a book,” Barber said. While the economy has been tough on her shop, Barber believes books are ultimately recession-proof. Her store inexpensively cycles facts and fiction through readers’ hands. Serving customers who still love reading books the old-fashioned way, Barber said she sees a lot of people who bring in books to sell. Her fiction aisles stay busy. Other offerings include children’s books, non-fiction and cookbooks. “You can get a decent paperback for a couple dollars and that gives you several hours of entertainment,” Barber said. “I don’t think books are
