erty tax ability from disappearing. “It’s an interesting twist,� says Werner. She loved the positive whirl of last year’s all-ages dance.

But this fall’s campaign taps another kind of energy. “The people joining the campaign are enthusiastic. They’re passionate about Si View,� Werner said. “But there’s an edge of nervousness. This will be devastating if it doesn’t pass.�

Werner is a leader in the Save Our Si View campaign to restore

Halloween festivities on Mountain Meadows Farm in North Bend could look an awful lot like the start of the zombie apocalypse.

The farm will be crawling with blood-spattered undead, slogging through mud, and leaping fire to run after, sometimes ahead of, the living. The prize in this race is not brains or survival, but a medal, a free drink and a party. “The whole thing is just come out and have a good time,� said George Brown, owner of Mountain Meadows Farm which is hosting the first annual Zombie Challenge (www. zombiechallenge.com) on Saturday, Oct. 29. “It’s meant to be a fun start to the Halloween weekend,�

Brown added.

Like the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Pineapple Express, held at the farm in November, or last summer’s Warrior Dash at Meadowbrook Farm, the Zombie Challenge is a 5K race and obstacle course.

Since it’s Halloween weekend, Brown expects people will compete in costume, but it’s not required. “They can come in any costume they want,� he said.

Should every school board member support the final decision of the

board, regardless of how they voted on it? Yes, absolutely, came the response.

Should student achievement be a factor in teacher evaluations? Again, a full round of yesses.

Five of six school board candidates were in overall agreement on some rapid-fire questions put to them during the

Oct. 13 candidate forum at Mount Si High School, but when the moderator reached questions about a proposed freshman campus at Snoqualmie Middle School and support of recent bonds, the unanimous tone disintegrated.

Carnation voters are deciding between saving money or saving police services in the Nov. 8 election.

The issue is a 61-cent increase in property tax rates pitted against a one-third cut in police staff. If passed, Proposition 1, would raise the city’s property tax rate to $1.90 per $1,000 of assessed value (to about $570 per year for a $300,000 home, from $387) bringing in about $90,000 to the city for police and public safety. If Proposition 1 fails, the city of Carnation must reduce its police services contract with the city of Duvall by that amount “which would mean an officer,� said CarnationDuvall Police Commander Carey Hert.

Carnation currently contracts with Duvall for three police officers, who patrol the city on a varying schedule, Hert said, plus shared administrative costs. Because of the structure of the police shifts and time off, losing one officer from the mix would realistically mean keeping one officer on patrol 12 hours a day, while another is off duty.

In other words, Carnation would have a police officer on-duty half the time, explained City Manager Ken Carter.

This will be the city’s third attempt in the last four years to increase taxes for police and public safety. In the current budget, public safety is the largest single budget item, accounting for $596,000 of the city’s 1.1 million budget, or 54 percent.

Carter noted that public safety included many court costs, not just the police contract, which is estimated at $512,000 next year.

Besides police services, public safety costs include reserving jail beds, prosecutors’ time, and public defenders for citizens who can’t afford attorneys. All of these costs have been increasing, Carter said. “For example, three years ago our district court cost was zero,� Carter said. Revenue from fines balanced the costs of prosecution then, but each year since, the costs have increased by about $6,000. “It all adds up...Court costs are the most noticeable.�

Carter calls the police service his city receives from the Carnation-Duvall department “a doubleedged sword,â€? for that reason. The costs for courts and jails increase as the police make more arrests, but the city benefits from reduced crime. “We were having between one and three DUIs a year under the sheriff’s service,â€? he said, of the city’s contract with the King County Sheriff’s Department before contracting with Duvall in 2004. “Now we have about 16, and that takes more court time to prosecute‌ It’s getting drunk drivers off the street, but boy, it’s spendy.â€?

According to the citizens’ supporting statement in the Voters’ Guide, the last time Carnation had only two police on staff, prior to the Duvall contract, the crime rate was three times higher than it is today. In 2004, the city signed an interlocal agreement with Duvall for shared police services, but each city pays for its own officers, cars and equipment. Since then, Carnation has averaged one of the lowest crime rates of any city in the state, along with Duvall.

However, in 2008, Carnation began struggling to keep up with the increasing costs of public safety. After much debate, public meetings, and several citizen surveys on budget priorities, the city council voted to put a levy lid lift on the ballot in 2008 and again in 2009. Both narrowly failed. The 2008 vote was 367 to 402, 35 votes short, and in 2009, the margin was even smaller, 223 to 246.

Mathematics) curriculum model.

Asked about the best ways of implementing statewide curriculum changes, Doy said â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rubber meets the road in the classrooms, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask the teachers.â&#x20AC;? Loudenback agreed that the answer was in helping the teachers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You support a good team,â&#x20AC;? she said.

To address the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding inequityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; Snoqualmie Valley receives the fifth least amount of state funding of all the 295 school districts in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Doy said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every dollar that we can focus (in the classroom), thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we need to do.â&#x20AC;? However, Loudenback said it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily bad to receive less state funding, which often comes with additional spending requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good teaching is good teaching,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about the money.â&#x20AC;?

New campus At the Simpson-Husa table, Gillette asked for the candidates opinions on the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed annexation of Snoqualmie Middle School as a freshman campus of Mount Si High School. Simpson strongly opposed the idea, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;High school overcrowding issues are not imminent,â&#x20AC;? and calling on the district to honor the votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wishes when, in 2008, they voted to make Snoqualmie Valley a three middle-school district. Husa stated that the board was reconsidering the decision currently. He still supported the original idea and the twoyear process that originated it, although the timing may not be right now.

She did support a fall-based â&#x20AC;&#x153;Day of Respectâ&#x20AC;? that could focus on all causes, along with yearround teaching of respect.

Husa stressed that the event was student-led and the board had no involvement, other than to protect all studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; constitutional rights. He later added that teaching students about respect and diversity should never be limited to a single day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do bonds fail?â&#x20AC;? drew a response from Simpson about voters soured by unrealistic enrollment projections, and confidence that when the district can truly demonstrate the need for another bond, the voters will support it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we need to make sure that our facts are strong, and our assumptions are reasonable,â&#x20AC;? she said.

During the second, extended response portion of the forum, the candidates became sharply divided on points of leadership, spending priorities, impact fees, and including community members in school processes.

Geoff Doy of North Bend called for well-trained teachers and well-funded classrooms above all else. His District 2 opponent Caroline Loudenback, also of North Bend, directed attention to all of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes, and how they were accomplished. Carolyn Simpson of Snoqualmie emphasized the need for the district to have a strategic plan in her comments, while her opponent and incumbent for director District 3, Craig Husa of Fall City, referred to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision statement, and existing policies and priorities that governed his actions on the board.

Dan Popp, of Redmond, the current school board president, took a personal and humorous approach in talking about his involvement with the school, and his trust in the curriculum experts the district has hired.

His approach complemented that of Steven Kangas, who stood in for District 5 candidate Peggy Johnson, who read her written statements.

Johnson, of Fall City, was unable to attend the forum because of an out-of-town commitment made months earlier, Kangas said.

About 100 community members attended the forum, organized by the Snoqualmie Valley PTSA Council, to hear the candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; views on various issues. Rivals for a board seat were each asked the same randomly-selected question and given two minutes to respond; however, each pair of rivals was asked a different question for each round.

Moderator Heather Gillette, WSPTA Region 2 director, led the questions, asking Doy and Loudenback how they would stop the downward trend in district math scores.

Both candidates responded that the decline wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly a trend. Doy said it varied with age level and at times, depended on the schools the students attended. Some schools had much stronger math scores, and Doy felt a sharing of best practices between those schools and the others would create much-needed improvement in scores.

Loudenback added that the district is already working on several programs to improve both math and science courses, including Career & Technical Education classes.

The district is also working toward a STEM (Science Technology Engineering and

approved in the past year, in a clear sign that voters were responding to the economy, although the need for a new building was there.

The first question to Kangas and Popp was whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d support increasing the percentage of 8th graders taking algebra from its current 50 percent.

Reading Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement, Kangas said math class sizes are too large for some students to be successful. More teachers would give students individual attention, leading to more success, leading to more 8th graders in algebra. Popp agreed that class sizes were too large, and he wanted to see more 8th graders in algebra.

He also felt that the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility in this matter was â&#x20AC;&#x153;to invest in the right curriculum.â&#x20AC;?

To a related question about the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in setting curriculum Kangas said the board should seek more parent and teacher input, focus on methodology, and eliminate â&#x20AC;&#x153;busywork.â&#x20AC;? Popp felt the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role was in oversight, and the final decision should be left to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;experts,â&#x20AC;? the teachers.

Candidates agreed that board members should take a lead role to improve education funding statewide, but differed on the city of Snoqualmieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s withholding of impact fees from the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Johnson thought the city was reasonable to want the fees recalculated, and Popp asserted that the city needed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;step upâ&#x20AC;? and pay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School districts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t create growth, but they are tasked with being responsible for every student who comes from growth,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Thank you for your recent editorial regarding the Open Public Meetings Act and the importance of e-mail communications between public officials on matters related to public business.

I would also like to thank Jodi Warren and city officials for her foresight on this issue, and the Valley Record for emphasizing the importance of this issue.

The evolution of technology has made written communication between individuals, whether personal or business related, subject to scrutiny.

Although disclaimers can be placed on e-mails, there is no telling once an e-mail is sent, who it may be forwarded to.

Public officials need to understand that e-mails between them are considered matters of public business and are no different than having a meeting behind closed doors. In some cases, e-mails regarding matters of public business are considered public records and can be requested via a public information request.

If you ever have a concern about a matter that interests you, I highly suggest making a request for the e-mail information associated with the topic. You may be surprised by what you find. In some cases, you may be surprised at how much business is actually conducted, planned or strategized behind â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed doorsâ&#x20AC;? (or, in this case, computers).

Mayor supports Si View ballot measures Even though Snoqualmie is outside of the Si View Metropolitan Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries, I appreciate the services offered by our sister park agency. I sincerely hope that it does not become the next casualty of this economic recession.

In addition to providing recreational programming in partnership with the city of Snoqualmie, the Snoqualmie Valley MPD operates our only swimming pool in the Snoqualmie Valley and offers a wide array of activities for people of all ages and abilities.

Unfortunately, the economic decline and associated drop in property values will make it essentially impossible for the Si View MPD to operate if voters donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act on November 8. With the formula in state law that puts the park district at the bottom of the pecking order when levy rates are adjusted, the park district is in very real danger.

The park district will lose 84 percent of its funding without an affirmative vote of the people for Si View Metropolitan Park District Propositions 1 and 2. Clearly, that kind of cut cannot be absorbed by any government agency. Services will cease. The pool will close. Multitudes of Snoqualmie Valley families will suffer. By voting yes on Propositions 1 and 2, taxes will not be increased, but funding can be secured so these negative impacts can be avoided.

Propositions 1 and 2 seek to maintain the current level of funding that support Si View MPD and honor the 71 percent of voters who approved the funding and formation of the park district in 2003.

I urge everyone to support the Si View MPDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ballot issues in November.

Matthew R. Larson Mayor, City of Snoqualmie

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lose our law enforcement My immediate gut reaction was to reach for the hunting rifle, channel the Libertarian ideals I inherited from my grand-pappy and yell â&#x20AC;&#x153;No more property taxes!â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let the bad guys

come! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fill their bellies full of lead!â&#x20AC;?

I was just asked to put a sign in my yard supporting Carnationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming levy lid lift, a proposition that would raise our property taxes $14 dollars a month (for a $250,000 home), but without which, Carnation would lose one third of its police force. Yes, that is one officer. The last time we only had two officers, we had three times the crime rate that we do now.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see the levy lift as just another footnote in the big book of national politicsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the old battle of tax cuts against social services. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. It is real, it matters to our town, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our police officers that we could lose.

On top of potential home invasions, there are some things like drug busts that citizens like me arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trained to do. If my child ends up on meth or cocaine because we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t willing to pay for drug enforcement in my neighborhood, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be left wondering why I was willing to pay to go to Red Robin one night a month but not pay half that much for the police to take care of drugs in our town.

Bill Hayden Snoqualmie

Actions speak louder than words On November 8, three school board positions are up for re-election. The results of that election could change the face and focus of the Snoqualmie Valley School District as we know it.

The last school bond would have helped the district address overcrowding in our upper grades by building a new Snoqualmie Middle School on the Ridge, making way for the current SMS to become a future freshman campus for Mount Si High School.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t passâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;we were shy one vote. Of Valley residents, 59.99 percent voted in favor of the bond, and 81.9 percent of Ridge residents voted yes on the bond. Ridge residents even spearheaded collection of funds for a recount in our tightest election to date.

Several candidates challenging current school board members did not support the bond. Carolyn Simpson was a prominent speaker against the bond at both school board meetings and in chat groups.

Depending on how many were swayed by her words, there alone we could have had a different bond election result.

Additionally,shedidnotsupport the redistricting boundaries re-drawn this spring for school board members. She and a few others presented a â&#x20AC;&#x153;citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; planâ&#x20AC;? that would unseat two current board

members and create a new seat for which, conveniently, she would be eligible. The district listenedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;some aspects of the citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan made sense and were incorporated. Regardless of the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show of collaboration, Simpson filed a legal review of the redistricting boundary decision. This review will require manpower, time and money, all of which are incredibly lean resources in our school district. Causing money, time and energy to be funneled away from our students with needless litigation and not supporting a bond your community fought hard to pass does not stack up to community representationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even more important, student representation.

The school board is meant to represent all of the SVSD. Board members should have the needs and priorities of all the different communities in mind when making critical decisions about curriculum, programs and school facilities.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about one communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, or pushing personal agendasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a position that requires a collaborative and community-minded representative. We have all of that

and more with our current school board. When you ask where they are from, they say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snoqualmie Valley School Districtâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;not just the quadrant they are districted to represent. They are a well-oiled team, and despite different views or concerns, they come together and have done more with less than ever before.

Their approach, relationships and trust with staff and communities are invaluable. In the past few years, the fruits of their labor of love for our students have emerged in many forms: Virtual Academy, the TOSA model, REMS Grant, Student Representatives to the Board, Principal interviews, STEM, Staff Instructional Rounds, Leadership Academy for Principals, etc.

Please do your research, know who you are voting for and what they value. The challengers may be articulate and convincing in their arguments, but their actions speak louder than any of their words. Our children deserve the bestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; they deserve the current school board. Re-elect Caroline, Craig and Dan! Anne Stedman North Bend

ZOMBIES FROM 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very large number of people interested in zombie activities.â&#x20AC;?

Zombie walks have become increasingly popular throughout the country, and the website seattlezombie.com lists dozens of zombie fun and games for the month.

Capitalizing on another trend, Brown and his son, owner of event coordinator Amazing Events, are also planning a Ninja Dash for next spring. Similar to the Zombie Challenge, the race will be more competitive and, of course, there will be ninjas.

Both races will be accommodated entirely on the farm grounds, with free parking, changing areas, hosing-off facilities, and all of the amenities. After hosting the parking for the Warrior Dash in July, and hearing some of the feedback from the event that brought 23,000 competitors into North Bend, Brown said â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;you know, we can do this better,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give them a better course, better beer, and free parking.â&#x20AC;?

The course will take advantage of the natural topography of the farm to offer obstacles, Brown said, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;a challenging but doable course, for anybody, in any condition.â&#x20AC;?

Some of the challenges include a natural â&#x20AC;&#x153;slip â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n slideâ&#x20AC;? to climb, the aforementioned fire, â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant water obstacles,â&#x20AC;? and lots of mud puddles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get mud early, mud late, and mud in the middle,â&#x20AC;?

Brown says, confidently.

When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also get a free beer, free food, and a free party to enjoy throughout the day. In addition to the medals, Brown said prizes would be awarded to the best finishing time, and the best costume.

Admission to the race is $60, and Brown said a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a charity. Registration for the event is limited to 4,000 participants.

Shoot, if my garage gets broken into, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to have to dedicate the time and effort to investigate it, I just want the perp caught. And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly not going to be chasing down any speeders, breaking up domestic disputes or going after car prowlers. And if something really big and bad happened, I would want someone to handle it who not only has a gun, but who has better aim than I do. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just vital to keeping my family and my town safe.

So after much soul searching, I will vote â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? for the levy lid lift, because I think police are a good idea, and worth funding to give us a minimum level of safety.

I know that times are tough.

My family is down to one incomeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in construction. But the question now is: Do we want our town to be unsafe for our children? Do we want our streets to be dangerous? Our houses broken into? Vigilante justice isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the answer, either.

Having a police force is. I will vote to pay the property tax increase.

a double standard here that we should just ignore?

Fresh perspectives from dueling challengers Q&A with Piper Muio and Ryan Kolodejchuk, candidates for North Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council position 7

W

ith North Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Position 7 councilman Chris Garcia vacating his seat this fall, two challengers are facing off for the right to take the council job, effective immediately after the vote is certified.

North Bend landscape contractor Ryan Kolodejchuk (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Call-a-day-chuckâ&#x20AC;?) hopes to bring a great optimism about the future of the city to the job, plus some tenacity at finding facts to solve problems. He says the city could be more business friendly and needs to pursue more grant funding, and hopes to make these changes part of his legacy.

Planning Commissioner Piper Muoio (pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mew-yoâ&#x20AC;?) hopes to bring a fresh perspective to the North Bend City Council. She feels her professional background in process improvement and customer service will serve her well on the council, as she works toward economic development and growth for the city.

Election 2011

North Bend City Council

Ryan Kolodejchuk

Piper M. Muoio

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your background?

What is your background?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in North Bend for six years, and my wife and I moved to the Valley in 1989, and we love it. We have three children, who have gone or are going through the school system. I know the Valley, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here 22 years. I(â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ve) supported the local community long-term. I have an award-winning landscaping company, Landwork Enterprises, Inc., and we are in our 25th year of business. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the owner and president.

I have lived in King County for 13 years, in North Bend for five of those years.

I have over 20 years of experience as a business and IT professional, working for both public and private companies around the world. I currently work as a consultant for Microsoft, deploying support tools for the Xbox Customer Support Team. I have served on the North Bend Planning Commission for two-plus years.

RYAN KOLODEJCHUK

What are your qualifications for a seat on the council?

My ability to dig for information and get the facts, because I have to do this on a daily basis. Being in business for myself, I have a new boss every week. When I go out to meet these clients to give them estimates, I need to be able to hear their wants, likes, and dislikes, and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take to solve the problem. The most important thing is, I need to be able to do it within their budget.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve served on the North Bend Parks Commission, presently on the North Bend Parks Foundation. I was on the team that extended the ULID when Tanner was annexed. Most recently I was with Friends of Fire District 38, to get the new fire station. That was just active community membersâ&#x20AC;Ś and we got it done. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a Eucharistic minister with the local Catholic church, and consulted with community members on reconstructing the soccer fields at Torguson Park after the sewer extension. I think I know the needs of the community.

What is the primary reason you are running for office?

To help the community even more. I can see that having a vote that will countâ&#x20AC;Ś more than as a volunteer. Because it is a paid position, if I see something in the administration I disagree with, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to disagree, whether Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m right or wrong, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paid to do. Being in a volunteer position, you have to roll with the punches.

How would you bring jobs to the city?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a business owner, I know about competition. To encourage growth, you need business. If you look at the new annexation area out on North Bend Way, all that (is) commercially zoned property. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their long-term plan, then we need to encourage business.

What other challenges do you see for the city in the coming year?

I would like to see them be looking for more grant money. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of grant money out there. I think they really need to be focused on that. Look what the city of Duvall has done, look what the city of Snoqualmie has done, with grant money. That is huge.

North Bend has started the process, but I think they need to be looking more directly into that... The downtown bypass is huge, I think they need to get going on that.

I have over seven years of experience in providing community and public services, as a board member (VP & Treasurer) for numerous homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; associations, and as a current member of the North Bend Planning Commission.

What is the primary reason you are running for office?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to expand my role in the decision-making process beyond my activities on the planning commission. My expertise in other areas will be encompassed through a seat on the city council, including financial management, operations and general economic development.

How would you bring jobs to the city?

The key to bringing jobs is getting to a stable economy. The challenge is how the city can encourage and support new and existing business owners, as well as up-and-coming entrepreneurs. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think I can bring new ideas for growing the downtown corridor.

How would you resolve infrastructure issues?

I am hopeful that my fresh ideas can help bring a new perspective and subsequently new ways to resolve current issues.

What other challenges do you see for the city in the coming year?

For our city as others, economic development. We need to look at how we can help current business owners be successful... in the downtown corridor, for their own benefit, but also as a benefit to our citizens and visitors. We need to figure out how to make the downtown a destination.

What is the role of a council member?

I see the council member position as a moderator and facilitator for the voice of the citizens of North Bend. It is of upmost importance to me that I act in a manner where citizens feel comfortable sharing their views on city issues with me, so I may consider those views in making decisions as a council member.

$ CASH FOR GOLD, $

My husband and I hope to start a business one day. We would be elated if it could be in North Bend. The concept is simple, but would bring great joy to me.

On a personal note, I began riding a motorcycle three years ago. It is one of my favorite things to do, especially riding in and around the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley.

What are your qualifications for a seat on the city council?

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something your neighbors may not know about you?

What do you see as the role of a council member?

Asking the hard questions. It comes down to the facts, not speculation, not emotion.... Also, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stewards. For this council position, this short period on earth, we are stewards. What are we doing for the long-term benefit of the community?

SI VIEW FROM 1 tax levy ability to the eightyear-old independent parks district.

Because of falling property values, tax cap laws mean that Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levy will be cut by 84 percent, from 53 cents per $1,000 in assessed value to 9 cents, without voter action.

Two ballot measuresâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Prop.

1, a measure to preserve 25 cents of the levy, and Prop.

2, a temporary 1-year restoration of the remainderâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; would put the district back on its feet, preserving programming. Passage of just one measure shrinks programming options. If both measures fail, Si View would essentially become little more than a caretaker for its 70 year old building, Executive Director Travis Stombaugh says. Neither of the propositions would raise Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax share.

Two budgets Working last week to draw up two separate budgets, Stombaugh will present his financial plan for 2012 to the Si View board of commissioners this Wednesday.

One plan assumes that both propositions pass Nov. 8. One assumes that only Prop. 1, with its easier 50 percent majority, will pass.

The smaller budget would

make about $470,000 in cuts.

Stombaugh proposes to do that by leaving empty positions unfilled, postponing planning and maintenance, and cutting training and tuition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to spread it so that customers would have the least impact,â&#x20AC;? he said. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important, because user fees make up an increasing share of the budget at Si View.

While tax revenues subsidize 36 percent of programs and 25 percent of capital funds, the tax cap is being hit at a time when use, and revenues, at Si View are on the rise. Use tripled between 2007 and 2010.

Last year, Si View had 110,000 visitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been growing through earned revenue,â&#x20AC;?

Stombaugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can keep our programs going, we can keep that up.â&#x20AC;?

Si View has 11 full-time workers and about 40 seasonal staff. Failure of both measures would mean the staff would shrink to little more than a director and a maintenance person.

In the event of a total bond failure, Stombaugh expects the pool to close. The beforeand after-school programs, summer camps, youth basketball, adult softball, the annual Halloween and holiday parties and the Si View Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market and summer concerts would also be on the chopping block. There would be fewer staff to help with the Festival

at Mount Si. Most remaining programs would have to be volunteer-based.

Many programs As a contracted dance teacher for Si View, Werner, like all Si View staff, canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advocate for the measures while on the job. Public disclosure laws limit Si View employees in the use of park district resources to push the voteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for example, campaigners will be on the sidewalk along Orchard Street, not in the gym, touting Props 1 and 2 during Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oct. 29 Halloween carnival.

Still, the historic community center and the programs it hosts have become symbols of what is at stake. At an Oct. 4 town hall meeting on the measures, hundreds of colored sheets of paper plastered Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multipurpose room. Each sheet listed one of the roughly 300 programs and services that Si View provides.

Werner and her fellow campaigners are clear about what would happen if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out the vote. The Halloween carnival, and many other programs, too, could go away.

She stresses the need to pass both propositions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to affect all of us,â&#x20AC;? Werner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the building itself, your neighbors will feel it.

And you will feel it.â&#x20AC;?

Si View Props

In Brief

King County has a $5.90per-$1,000 cap on nonvoted property taxes. As property values have fallen in the county, tax rates have climbed to accommodate existing levies; Since levy amounts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shrink, rates rise to accommodate.

In one of Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four separate taxing districts, that cap was hit in 2011 by a rising county rate. As a consequence, Si View lost the ability to levy taxes. Two ballot measures in the November 8 election are aimed at restoring that ability.

Proposition 1 would exempt 25 cents of Si Viewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 53-cent levy from the cap, and requires a 50 percent majority at the polls.

Proposition 2 preserves the remaining levy amount through a one-year operations and maintenance levy, and requires a 60 percent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;supermajorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to pass.

Si View parks district includes residents of the greater North Bend area as well as parts of King County adjacent to Snoqualmie city limits. t -FBSO NPSF BCPVU UIF Save our Si View campaign at www.facebook. com/pages/Save-Our-SiView/170381599703698

Wet start, banner snow season for coming winter

Find, fill sandbags when you need them

AccuWeather forecasters are predicting a fairly typical start to the coming winter. But western Washington residents may have to gear up for a frigid February.

In February, a core of cold weather is predicted to shift westward over the northern Rockies with colder-than-normal conditions extending all the way to the Washington and Oregon coasts.

Not too far away, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, are predicted to have one of their top three coldest winters in the past 20 years, according to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist and Canadian blogger Brett Anderson.

Although February is expected to be a drier month for Seattle and Portland, chances for any snow events would be highest during this month with the colder air in place.

In contrast, the earlier part of the season is forecast to feature more moderate temperatures that average near normal.

December is likely to be a wetter month for both cities with aboveaverage precipitation. Near-normal precipitation is predicted for January.

As for the Cascades, the Long-Range Forecasting Team anticipates nearto slightly above-normal snowfall this season.

AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist and Western Expert Ken Clark said this could be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;banner snow seasonâ&#x20AC;?for some of these areas.

When high water threatens, residents can protect their property with sandbags. Bags are typically made available during floods by several agencies in the Valley. Pick-up locations include:

Carnation Old Public Works Shop site, corner of Myrtle Street and McKinley Avenue

Fall City Preston-Snoqualmie Trail parking lot at Lake Alice Road Southeast and Southeast 56th Place

North Bend Public Works Shop, 1155 East North Bend Way Sandbags and sand are available weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It is a self-service operation, shovels are available. Check in with the office before bagging. Sandbags are available after hours when the Emergency Operations Center is open.

Who to call for help

Snoqualmie City property at Railroad Avenue Southeast and Southeast King Street Currently available only by request.

inter storms in the Northwest can range from drizzly days to heavy rains. We can experience moderate snow over a few hours or blizzard conditions in our mountain passes.

The time to prepare is before the rain, snow, or ice starts.

First, make sure you understand the warning terms:

Make sure windshield wipers and defrosters are in working order and fill washer reservoirs with no-freeze windshield washer fluid.

In temperatures at or just above 32 degrees, a thin layer of water can cover the ice, causing extremely slippery conditions. Beware of “black ice” that remains on parts of the roadway not in direct sunlight. Use extra caution when driving on bridges; they freeze first.

Don’t let frigid temperatures tempt you into starting your car in a closed garage. Carbon monoxide from exhaust fumes is almost impossible to detect and can be fatal when breathed in a confined area.

Pay attention. Don’t try to out-drive the conditions.

Leave plenty of room for stopping.

Know the current road conditions in your area.

Keep emergency gear in your car for everyday trips: cell phone, flashlight, jumper cables, ice scraper, blankets and warning devices (e.g., flares, reflectors).

Insurance essentials

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Photos are the least expensive and most valuable thing you can do in protecting your home and contents before a fire or flood,â&#x20AC;?says Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Insurance agent Angela Donaldson. After a disaster, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only are you emotionally stressed, but now you have to remember where everything was and what it looked likeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and you have to articulate that an adjustor.â&#x20AC;?

All that stress can be saved by having photos on hand.

Preferred risk

Understand risks, plan ahead to avoid a devastating flood loss

W

ith forecasters predicting a hard winter, homeowners should consider flood insurance coverage in the event of a disaster. But insurance alone isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough. Proper planning is also vital to avoid major headaches, extra expense or tragic losses during a flood.

Agents with Valley-based Hauglie Insurance advise residents to make a flood plan, which includes making sure family members know how to shut off utilities, get out of the house and neighborhood, where to meet up and how to contact each other.

Flood planning also includes readying the home for a disaster. A good exit plan will ensure that contents are protected and valuables removed or stored out of harmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way.

Vital medications, for example, should be accounted for early on.

If medicine needs to stay refrigerated, have a cooler handy, because floods often mean power loss.

Antiques are covered, but only at functional value. That means that your grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antique table may wind up being replaced by just another new table. Homeowners should ensure that valued antiques are safely high and dry or on the truck out of a flood zone.

Homeowners also need to ensure that invoices, receipts and flood claim documentation are kept in a waterproof bag and, if possible, in a fireproof safe. Documentation is needed to prove to FEMA that repairs were completed. Time-stamped photos are also a good way to document before-and-after realities.

Homeowners who live outside a flood zone can still face floods from accidents and human error as well as natural events. The National Flood Insurance Program offers a preferred risk flood insurance policy to provide an extra level of protection for an average cost of $354 for $250,000 of dwelling coverage and $100,000 of content coverage.

Early fall is the time to buy a flood policy. Flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period, and Valley storms and floods have been known to hit before Thanksgiving. While the annual premium must be paid up front, agencies typically offer payment options, including a credit card choice, to fit buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;budgets.

Homeowners should also discuss with their insurance agent whether having their residence surveyed would be of benefit.

Separate outbuildings need separate flood coverage. If a homeowner has built a detached office, garage or guest house on his property, that building may need its own policy.

Wind and water can also take their toll on fences, which are covered by flood insurance. Fence repair or replacement is handled on a cash value basis, not replacement cost.

Lastly, if you have a policy in force, review the names on the policy. If there has been a recent death, marriage, or divorce it is a simple phone call away to modify the policy before a claim. If discovered after a flood loss, it may cause additional delays with claim payments.

For more information on flood insurance and emergency preparation, consider attending classes held through the valley this flood season.

Many are offered through the cities, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and insurance offices such as Hauglie Insurance.

Winter health Prepare your body for change in the weather

BY DR. NATHANIEL SWAN Contributing Writer

We all need to embrace this change in weather, as it is the changing which keeps us flexible and â&#x20AC;&#x153;young.â&#x20AC;?

Getting ready for the fall and winter means not only getting your â&#x20AC;&#x153;winter wardrobeâ&#x20AC;? ready, but also preparing your body, as well.

It has long been known that as we age, our ligaments and tendons become stiffer, so it is even more important in these cooler days to really warm up prior to any lawn cleanup or light hanging. Core work is always important, as the stronger your abdominals are, the stronger and more protected your lower back will be. Do your outside chores earlier in the day when there is sufficient light to be safe.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in a rush. Take breaks to remain hydrated and to assess your body: Too hot, too wet, too tired? Many accidents either on the slopes or in your yard are caused by â&#x20AC;&#x153;that one last run of the dayâ&#x20AC;? or that one last tree to trim.

Watch the sweets, as sugar can weaken the immune system. Doing a nice, safe and gentle body cleanse can go a long way in strengthening the immune system. Probiotics can keep the normal flora in the intestines healthy. Eighty percent of your immune system surrounds your intestine so it again makes good since to treat your body well. Your colon has the square area of over two tennis courtsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good idea to have that large of an organ unhealthy.

If you have been walking around in athletic shoes all summer, be careful if your hiking boots have a little bit of a heel. A quarter of an inch in the heel elevation can cause many low back flare-ups.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all have some fun and have a safe and healthy winter. t /BUIBOJFM 4XBO JT B DIJSPQSBDUPS BU 'BMM $JUZ $IJSPQSBDUJD $FOUFS 4& SE 4U 'BMM $JUZ

Gear up for seasonal needs ACE Hardware ready to help when winter strikes

T

he snow shovels, de-icer and warm mittens are already on the shelves at North Bend ACE Hardware, awaiting customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs as Old Man Winter nears.

Staff at ACE have prepared a winter preparedness and emergency kit list and are ready to help customers with questions.

As October closes and La NiĂąa commences, homeowners should be thinking ahead about how to stay mobile, warm and safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want to be prepared for the worst,â&#x20AC;? said ACE Store Manager Chris McCartney, a veteran of 19 Valley winters, including snow storms, floods and prolonged power outages.

Storms often mean a run on the store, so smart shoppers will stock up ahead on everything from de-icer to emergency lamps.

When gear and supplies are organized and stored in a safe, dry place, homeowners can be ready for Mother Nature.

Get together with your family and make a list, ACE staff say. Find a place in the pantry or back of the garage, and safely store needed goods. Water is a must. Some neighborhoods are on electric wells.

When the power goes down, so does the water supply.

Besides â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;people food,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ACE staff emphasized putting aside extra pet food to ensure animals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go hungry during outages or other disasters that may cause disruption in supply chains.

The storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency car kit list includes items that save time and trouble during winter travel. An extra bag of cat litter can also be the ticket (out/home) when your car gets stuck in a snowy ditch.

Chemical heating pads and glow sticks can provide light and heat without batteries.

Also, make sure to use camp stoves and grills safely. Residents should never use coal- or gas-powered items inside the home, as the carbon monoxide they give off is deadly.

ACE also recommends foam faucet covers and heat tape to prevent frozen pipes and water leaks. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about pipes from well houses to the home, as well.

Winterization should also include treatments to gasoline engines in the boat or RV to prevent cold damage.

Outdoor fun Winter brings opportunity for adventure. ACE carries a full selection of sporting goods for familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camping, hunting and fishing needs.

Camping goods can also come in handy during storms and power outages.

Old and new products, from emergency thermal blankets and Sterno cans to lamps and hatchets, make roughing it a bit easier.

Some customers swear by oil lamps over battery-powered lamps. Oil burns brightly and lasts longer.

The store also carries a hand-cranked LED lamp that lasts for up to 12 hours after a firm cranking.

Keep it coming ACE makes an extra effort to stay staffed and stock inventory during big winter events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make an extra effort to make sure everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;?

McCartney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got committed people. They understand weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be here, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep operations running.â&#x20AC;?

At need, a regional warehouse keeps supplies running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tell them what we need, they make it happen,â&#x20AC;? McCartney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ACE is the helpful place. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here forâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; everybody at the ACE warehouse also understands and supports that whole philosophy.â&#x20AC;?

Neil is the son of the late Jack and Molly Dubey.

After their marriage Juanita and Neil moved to the family property on Tokul Creek in Snoqualmie. Juanita loved to golf and enjoyed spending time at Cascade and Mount Si golf courses. She cherished her times of traveling and visiting with family and friends.

graduated from Bremerton High School.

During World War II, he worked at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard as an electrician. He left there for a stint in the Army and served as part of the occupation forces in Japan. After leaving the service, he returned to the shipyard as a draftsman.

During that time the avid fisherman met and married the catch of his life, Eileen Kearney, in 1951.

Glen and Eileen had three children: Jo Marie, Jim, and Nancy. In 1956 they moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico, where Glen went to work at the lab, rising to the position of senior designer in the electrical division. Ultimately, they lived there for 40-plus years. During that time he raised a family, hunted, fished, and perfected his margarita recipe. He also enjoyed international travel and worked on lots of wood-

working projects.

After retirement, he returned to Washington in 1999 and settled in Carnation. During his later years he spent his time fishing, gardening and doing yard work, welcoming visitors, and fretting about the Mariners.

Glen is survived by his immediate family, daughterin-law Joyce Horton, son-inlaw Mike Hoyt, and three grandchildren: Tim Horton, and Bryce and Gerilyn Hoyt.

A funeral mass will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, in Carnation.

SATURDAY, OCT. 1

FLAG THEFT: At 4:30 p.m., police were called to the 400 block of Southeast 10th Street to investigate a series of thefts in the neighborhood. It appears that one or more suspects have been stealing the flags on display in front of peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes.

Snoqualmie Police

CAR CAMPING: At 2:19 p.m., police returned to the 38800 block of Southeast River Street to remove two abandoned vehicles that had been tagged the previous day. Both vehicles had been sold recently to a Fall City man, who was found sleeping in one of the vehicles on Oct. 9. He was told to remove the vehicles by noon Monday. Since the vehicles were still there 24 hours later, they were both impounded.

Being safe when your child is participating in sports or activities where there is a risk of falls or contact with the head or face, it is recommended that a mouth guard and a helmet is worn.*

EVASIVE ACTION: At At 10:10 p.m., an officer on patrol on Meadowbrook Way near 384th Avenue Southeast observed a vehicle exceeding the 35 mph limit. The officer signaled the vehicle to stop, but the driver refused to pull over. The pursuing officer reported speeds of more than 70 mph, as he followed the vehicle onto 384th, and then River Street, then Park, and across the Meadowbrook Bridge, and onto Reinig. By this point the officer could see a passenger attempting to put his hands out the window, and to open his door. After about 12 miles, the driver stopped, and was restrained. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d fled the officer because she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get caught driving with a suspended license. She admitted that she had marijuana and two meth pipes in her possession, too.

Fiery performances by Mount Si trekkers in final senior day meet

BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor

4FUI 5SVTDPUU 4UBGG 1IPUPT

Above, Mount Si cross country runners perform a Haka-style dance to rev up their spirits during their Mercer Island/Liberty meet on Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Below left, Ben Houldridge and Dom Canady near the finish line. Houldridge was the surprise first Wildcat across the line.

Below right, freshman Angelina Belceto crosses the finish line.

Belceto has been steadily improving her times this season.

Life on the Mount Si Cross Country team is about way more winning. Spontaneity and team spirit also play a big role in the fall sport.

For an example, see the Maori Haka-inspired taunt dance that broke out before both the boys and girls teams ran on Wednesday, Oct. 12, against Mercer Island and Liberty. Or witness girls runner Maddy Esteb’s offthe-cuff use of facepaint on the day of the race. Tribal stripes quickly broke out on everybody’s face.

“It’s our last home meet,” the sophomore said. “We had to go all out.”

“We should scare off half the teams with this,” said Bailey Scott.

After the chant, senior Ryan Olson prepared for the run ahead.

This year’s version of the home course is extra challenging, thanks to sharp turns, gravel and paved sections.

“It’s brutal,” Olson said.

“You’ve got to take corners hard, or you’re going to get stuck… you’ve got to fight through the gravel section.”

There are few of the downhill sections that are Olson’s favorite part of cross country.

“People aren’t expected to

run PRs (personal records) in here,” he said.

While the team is always competitive, “We’re just going to enjoy it. It’s our last time being here,” Olson said.

“Good job, Mount Si,” cheered Bailey Scott, who led all Mount Si girls runners and then waited at the finish line.

Scott took second overall with 20:13. The sophomore said that was a onesecond personal record on the home course. She was 43 seconds behind Mercer’s Katia Matora.

Scott pushed in the last mile to move up from fifth. not quite satisfied, she felt she had saved too much energy for the final mile.

“I used all my juice, (but) I need to spread it out more.”

Still, everyone’s doing very well, the sophomore said.

“They’re all really motivated for league. We’re trying really hard. Shout out to the team.”

Next up for the Wildcats, freshman Angelina Belceto took 14th with 21:25. Then came Erin Rylands at 20th SEE SURPRISE, 23

Run for Food is Saturday on Valley trail Help the hungry and enjoy a soft Snoqualmie trail during the 1k/5k Run for Food, Saturday, Oct. 22.

The Mount Si Cross Country team and members of Boy Scout Troop 701 will participate and volunteer at the event that begins at Fisher Creek Park on Snoqualmie Ridge with a 7:30 a.m. registration, a kids 1k at 8:30 and a 5k beginning at 9 a.m.

The run was started by Spencer Ricks, a Mount Si sophomore and varsity runner on the cross country team who volunteered at the Mount Si Helping Hand Food Bank. Each week, the Mount Si Food Bank provides food for more than 300 families; needs have increased significantly since this time last year. Spencer had been looking for an Eagle Scout project. After talking with assistant director Krista Holmberg, the idea to create a run to help others was a natural, perfect fit.

Entry is free with a suggested donation of food.

To participate, contact sprex2@gmail.com or visit www.facebook.com/event. php?eid=208970279159583.

Belceto was one of the exceptions that broke Olsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rule.

She was also challenged by the course, but tied for her best time. She wants to keep pushing toward her 21-minute goal.

Ben Houldridge was the surprise of the day. He wanted to lock in his spot at league, and fought all the way past the front Mount Si runners to take fourth

with a 17:49 performance.

Houldridge passed junior Dom Canady on the way to the finished line, beating him by one second.

Richard Carmichael claimed sixth with 17:52. Next through for Si was Tom Kirby at 12th with 18:27, followed by Ryan Olson at 13th with 18:38.
