Sewer assessments annulled while North Bend addresses ‘housekeeping issue’

North Bend’s Rudy Edwards looks back at eye-opening South African sojourn Valley grad finishes basic training with honors Page 7

Ruling could change city’s sewer fees

At first, you don’t recognize him. Then you realize that the smiling, bearded man in the red cloak and leopard pelt is actually a younger version of North Bend resident Rudy Edwards.

The image of a traditionally costumed Edwards is among the mementos of a two-year sojourn that he and wife Connie spent in the African kingdom of Swaziland in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Those memories were reawakened last month, sparked by the death of South African freedom fighter and statesman Nelson Mandela, at 95.

Edwards, who still knows a smattering of Zulu and Swasi words, experienced the color barrier for himself during the era when Mandela was an imprisoned champion of his people. Much later, Edwards witnessed South Africans of all races vote for the first time.

A court ruled in their favor, but the North Bend property owners who successfully appealed their sewer assessments may have won the issue in principle only.

The Washington Court of Appeals annulled the city’s sewer assessments on several parcels of land in North Bend’s Utility Local Improvement District #6 (Tanner ULID) in an Oct. 21 opinion, claiming the city erred in changing the sewer system design without adopting a new ordinance. However, it also stated that the annulment would allow the city to reassess those properties.

“The court did leave the door slightly open for reassessment,” Todd Wyatt, attorney for the appealing property owners, wrote in a message to the Record. However, he added that he’s filed a motion to change that.

APARTHEID FROM 1 That nation’s ruler, King Sobhuza II—the longest-reigning monarch on earth, ever since he was a baby in 1899— was transforming this forested, hilly land, bringing in Westernstyle education.

King “Sobhuza wanted

Americans,” Edwards said. “He sent his kids to England and the U.S. to be educated.”

Majoring in biology at Jackson State University, Edwards had taken a number of teaching electives, knowing that he’d be in a classroom.

“We thought we were going to be in Kenya, or Tanzania.” But when a new program started in Swaziland, Edwards took it.

He knew little about that place, so his professor at Jackson told him to read up on it. Swaziland is temperate and resembles the area around Spokane, and northern Idaho, with forestry, mining, and farming.

The English used there is

British English, so Edwards got used to their way of pronouncing words like “aluminium” and “schedule.”

Edwards taught students from fifth grade through high school, and made many friends among the locals. Living and working as an AfricanAmerican in Swaziland, he couldn’t help but sense and experience what was happening over the border in South Africa, right from the moment he arrived.

Since 1948, South Africa had pursued an official policy of Apartheid, or “apart-hood,” classifying and segregating inhabitants into four race groups: “white,” “black,” “colored” and “Indian,” with several sub-classifications. Most of the country’s inhabitants were black, but by 1970, they had lost their citizenship under the racially segregated system.

Some South African whites distrusted American Peace Corps visitors.

“In the Afrikaner papers, we were spies, trouble,” said Rudy.

“They thought King Soubhuza was crazy.”

He and Connie “snuck in” to Swaziland via the Mozambique border.

“They didn’t want to cause a row, because we were black,” he said.

When they made their first visit to South Africa, the confusion of the Apartheid system quickly made itself apparent.

“The first time we got into trouble in South Africa is because of this,” said Edwards, holding up his old U.S. passport.

“If you’ve got this, under their system, you’re white.”

At the border, Edwards listened as officials argued over which of their four race lines he belonged in.

Connie Edwards walks past students at a day care in Swaziland during her and husband Rudy’s Peace Corps stay in 1970.

He didn’t belong on the black African, or Bantu, line. Finally, “they made me get out of the Bantu line, where I was driving with friends, to get into the European line.” His African friends joked that they had to get out of the car, saying Rudy was white now.

“I knew I had to experience that, to feel what Apartheid was doing,” he said.

Teaching in Swaziland, Edwards remembers South Africans of all races coming over the border for casinos, moviehouses, and more illicit pleasures.

Edwards met exiles, people who couldn’t vote on account of the color of their skin. He met South Africans who were Jewish, Catholic, black and white, Afrikaner, and they often wanted to talk to him about being an American, and about getting the system changed.

Many said they didn’t like Apartheid, but “Some said it would never change,” he said.

While Edwards never met Mandela, he and Connie got to tour his house, and visit the church of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, an equally famous opponent of Apartheid.

By 1970, Mandela was already considered a people’s champion. Born into a Xhosa royal clan, Mandela was tall, handsome and well educated— he was the first of his family to go to school—and became an attorney.

Jailed for his political activities, Mandela was a controversial figure in his early career due to his leanings to the left. Communist freedom fighters were indeed part of the mix in opposition to the South African regime, and Edwards, on occasion, would encounter Marxist proponents.

He had a simple way of refuting it—pointing to American aid and American bounty, in the form of wheat and other goods.

“That came from Iowa, Oregon, Washington state,” he explained.

“We produce the most. You can’t feed people with Marxism.”

Edwards, who has lived in North Bend for 24 years, remembers when the Jim Crow era ended in his hometown of Laurel, Miss., population 18,000, during the 1960s. There were

places blacks couldn’t go—“you wouldn’t go into a redneck bar”—but things were changing. An Eagle scout in his allblack Boy Scout troop, Ewards and another boy personally integrated the local forest service office, simply by asking for jobs.

“I knew this day was coming,” the manager told them, then hired them both.

Yet South Africa under Apartheid was worse, says Rudy.

At least in Mississippi, his family had for many years kept the right to own land.

In South Africa, people were fighting against the system, but in turn, “Afrikaners are shooting and killing you.”

“Even the worst day I had in Mississippi, growing up, was nothing like South Africa,” said Edwards, who returned with Connie after two years of teaching to pursue a master’s degree, and then a forestry career that led to the Valley.

Edwards’ African stay “made me appreciate what I have,” he said. “It made me a better person.”

Apartheid began to fall apart by the late 1980s, under pressure from without and within the country. Mandela, who had been jailed for life on conspiracy and sabotage charges, was released after 26 years in prison.

He continued work for majority rule, which saw fruit in the first democratic elections for South Africa.

In April of 1994, Edwards experienced that moment.

Living in the Valley, where he worked as a forest ranger, he invited School District 410 Superintendent Rich McCullough to accompany him to Seattle to witness the election.

At the King County Courthouse, “all these South Africans, of every color, were coming to vote from all over the Northwest,” said Edwards.

Voters assumed he was one of them. One woman asked him, in Zulu, “Where is Buthelezi?” referring to Mangosuthu Buthelezi, a South African Zulu leader and candidate in the elections.

“I don’t know,” said Edwards.

“You are an American, but you speak Zulu?” the woman asked. “Are you at the University of Washington?”

“No, North Bend, Washington,” Edwards replied.

tal-clear in the ordinance, that the city could have a gravity system, or it could have a vacuum system,” said North Bend Administrator Londi Lindell, in a phone call last week.

Regarding the court’s opinion, she added, “We don’t really see it as a ruling against the city. It just requires us to do a clean-up of an ordinance.” She anticipated the city council would address the issue in the first quarter of the new year, then re-assess the property owners whose assessments were annulled. The remaining property owners should not be affected.

The Tanner sewer project

was completed in 2011, and the city began the assessment process for the 400plus properties in the ULID. To fairly divide the costs among all property owners, the city chose to assess each property according to the benefit it would receive from having the sewer.

Many owners appealed what they felt were unreasonably high costs, since the combined assessments totaled more than $25 million, over $6 million more than the project cost.

Several appealed successfully to lower their assessments before the council approved the final assessment rolls Feb. 21, 2012.

ommended the change to a gravity system, at a revised cost of $19 million.

No ordinance specifying the gravity system was adopted, and that was the basis of the recent appeal.

According to the court opinion, “the city does not have authority to impose assessments for an improvement not created under the ULID statutes.” The opinion also states “Apellants did not have the opportunity to protest the change to a gravity sewer system and its resulting 63 percent cost increase because the city did not pass a new ordinance under RCW 35.43.070 specifying this material change.”

In response, the city argued that the state statute does not prevent a city from approving a cost increase on a construction project.

“We believe the Court should correct that language to hold that, in fact, reassessment cannot occur.”

For now, the appellants

named in the opinion, owners of about 20 properties, “do not owe the city anything,” Wyatt said.

Prior to their successful appeal, the property owners had been assessed a combined total of more than $1.5 million, their share of the $19 million cost to build the sewer system out to the community.

4 - Resident stabs and kills home intruder near North Bend

With roots and friends throughout the Valley, plus national exposure, Jenckes may have been a lock for the top spot, but many of the Record’s stories reached a nationwide audience.

Here are the the Record’s most-read stories of 2013:

1: Valley singer Austin Jenckes is on ‘The Voice’ Locals know he’s got talent, but television audiences nationwide got the chance to see it, too, when Jenckes appeared on the NBC show “The Voice,” starting in September. The 25-year-old former North Bend resident and Cedarcrest graduate auditioned for the musical competition/reality show, became a fan favorite, and stayed in the game until November, when he was voted off.

2 - Family seeks missing Maple Valley girl, 17, in Snoqualmie

In May, a North Bend family, defending themselves from the second home invasion attack in 12 hours, stabbed and killed an intruder in their home on 420th Avenue Southeast. In the first intrusion, a man entered the home that afternoon through an unlocked back door. The wife, her mother-in-law, and the baby were in the house when the intruder hit the wife, stole some money from the house, and fled.

When he returned at 1:40 a.m., he got in a fight with the husband and was stabbed with a kitchen knife.

5 - Snoqualmie police arrest six in early morning drug raid On December 6, Snoqualmie Police seized a large amount of methamphetamine and arrested six adults in an early morning raid on a home in the 38000 block of Southeast Northern Street. The successful raid was the joint effort of Snoqualmie Police and the King County Sheriff’s Office, with support from firefighters. The raid had been planned for some time. Most of those arrested were local residents, ranging in age from 22 to 50.

In August, a hiker fell to his death while trekking in the Rattlesnake Ridge area of Snoqualmie near Rattlesnake Lake. A woman dialed 911 just before 11 a.m., telling the King County Sheriff’s Office that someone had fallen from Rattlesnake Ridge. According to a report by the sheriff’s office, when police arrived, they talked to a friend of the victim, who said she and the man had hiked to the top of the ridge. She was taking pictures of the man near a ledge when he slipped and fell as he was trying to jump to a rock.

A hunter died of an accidental shooting December 2, near Duvall. According to a report from the King County Sheriff’s Office, at about 9:20 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 30, a sheriff’s deputy was conducting an area check of a trailhead near the 17000 block of the Northeast Duvall-Monroe Road. As he entered the trailhead, he found a man who was dead next to his vehicle, with an obvious gunshot wound to the chest.

It appeared that the man had accidentally shot himself, as he was putting away his hunting gear.

Police pinged the 40-year-old man’s phone in the early morning hours, and found that he was in the vicinity of the Falls. His body was found below the overlook at first light. It was the first such death at the Falls since mid-December of 2012, when a man fell to his death from the overlook.

8 - Hunter accidentally shoots, kills himself near Duvall

In August, family members of Sarah M. Streight, 17, hung posters in Snoqualmie, seeking her return to the family home in Maple Valley. Streight, who was reportedly living with a friend in the Valley, turned 18 a few weeks later.

What fire crews from the Washington Department of Natural Resources called the “444th Fire” on Mount Si was held to about 20 acres in late July. The brush fire burned in steep, rocky terrain at the base of 4,100foot Mount Si, between the Si and Little Si trails.

Crews had managed to contain the blaze, building a tight fire trail around the brush fire to keep it from spreading.

It took about three days for the fire to be put under control, and weeks for all the trails at Mount Si to reopen.

the Internet was abuzz with news of movie star Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series) being spotted in Carnation and later at the Salish Lodge on Snoqualmie Falls. Several people confirmed seeing Depp in Carnation, although most of the Internet posts with photos of him there were quickly deleted. There was speculation that he was associated with the movie “Lucky Them,” but production staff would not confirm that, so very little about Depp’s visit could be verified. He was in Carnation on Monday, Feb. 25, the same day that two off-duty Mercer Island Police officers came to the city to help with traffic control for the movie being filmed there.

YEAR IN REVIEW FROM 5 Travis Bridgman, 33, of North Bend, was inside the Shilow Life Fellowship building on Sunday, Sept. 15, with about eight other people, when he was struck by an apparent bolt of lightning after the last service of the day.

“A little bolt, about as big as a pin, just came through the window and pinged me in the chest,” he told the Record.

Afterward, he remembered them staring at him, shocked, but he didn’t really TRAVIS BRIDGMAN feel much.

Bridgman defied a lot of conventional wisdom with his experience. First, he says, “You would really think that the inside of a building is safe.” Usually, it is, and lightning safety education materials often advise “When thunder roars, go indoors.”

12 - Skydiver lost: Search operation called off after Florida squirrel-suit flyer vanishes Four days and nearly 4,000 man-hours into a search and rescue effort, King County officials called off the search for a missing skydiver on January 6.

Searchers looked over nine square miles before giving up the search for a 29 year-old Lakeland, Fla., man, Kurt Ruppert, who’d been with two friends, taking turns jumping from a helicopter near the west peak of Mount Si. He was reported missing on January 3 by the private pilot after his second jump, when he didn’t return to the landing zone. The pilot estimated the men were jumping from a height of about 6,500 feet. Mount Si’s highest point is about 4,100 feet, and the west peak near the jump area is about 2,500 feet.

“What we understand (from the friends) is they were jumping out of the helicopter just past that west peak,” Sheriff’s Spokeswoman Cindy West explained. “Once they made it past the peak, they’d deploy their chutes.” West could not comment on whether the activity was legal.

Pressure points

Mount Si holds on in shootout, battle of basics at Cedarcrest

BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor

It could have gone either way, but at first, it looked like Mount Si’s game. Visiting Cedarcrest on Saturday, Dec. 21, the Wildcat boys varsity squad jumped out to a 17-2 lead, only to watch as Cedarcrest’s shooters fought back with some stellar shots.

Senior guard Austin Paxman was good for 20 points, including six three-pointers, and Robert Cha added 11 points, including one field goal of his own. Senior guard Jordan Corpus and center Chad Klingenberg both added four baskets apiece.

“Our comeback in the first half really helped us in the second,” said Klingenberg.

The score seesawed, with both teams grabbing tenuous leads. Cedarcrest held the lead, 49-44, at the end of the third. Mount Si, however, mounted a rally in the fourth quarter, tying it 57-57 with two and a half minutes to go, then solidifying and winning it, 64-59, in a Cedarcrest home stadium filled with student fans decked in holiday attire.

“We just needed to close up, with the hands up, and we weren’t really doing that in the first half,” said Mount Si senior center Tyler McCreadie, describing the Wildcat response to the Red Wolves’ air game. “We’d rotate down and try and help off the guy driving, and kick it right back and throw his shot. In the second, we switched that up.”

McCreadie and Nelson credited plays to get

the ball inside and under the basket.

Where Nelson would have taken a shot in less tight games, against the Red Wolves, “he dumped it down low for an easy bucket, and then we’d be right back on defense.

That’s how we got back in the game,” said McCreadie.

“A lot of it was getting the ball to Tyler, making sure everybody was in the right spots, not turning the ball over, trying to control the pressure,” said Nelson.

“It’s all credit to Jack for dealing with that pressure and setting everyone up,” added McCreadie.

“There was no way we were going to come here and get a loss,” Nelson said. “We were only leaving with a win.”

McCreadie led scoring with 22 points, followed by Nelson with 20, including two three-pointers. Parker Dumas and Jonathan Hillel each added six points, with sophomore Isaac Benedict sinking one basket and one long bomb. Senior Beau Shain had three points.

Players on all sides racked up the fouls, with Nelson and McCreadie getting four apiece.

Consider it a lesson learned—calls “shouldn’t dictate the game,” Nelson said.

“We let them play too much of a role in this game.”
