North Bend sees savings, stands to lose county advocates in switch to Snoqualmie

Thirty-nine years ago, the North Bend City Council voted to dissolve the city’s own police force, and form a contract partnership for police services with the King County Sheriff ’s Office instead.

According to a Nov. 29, 1973, Valley Record account of the meeting, police chief Fred Pingrey and other supporters touted the city’s ability to ‘Partners in policing’ keep their local is the first of a three-part officers (as long series exploring North as they applied Bend’s police contract, to be county which may soon change deputies), along from King County Sheriff with better pay to Snoqualmie Police. and opportunities for the officers. Opponents feared a loss of local control, and a less responsive police force—North Bend’s Police Department boasted a response time of under five minutes anywhere in the city.

Both sides knew the city couldn’t afford full-time county coverage, at $112,000, and would probably settle for 16 hours, plus eight hours on-call, for $83,000. They also were pretty sure the city couldn’t afford the police department’s requested $106,000 budget, which included a new car and full-time coverage.

Following the unanimous vote in favor of the contract, several citizens gathered outside the meeting, so incensed, they began discussing a recall of the full council.

That recall never came to fruition, however, and on Jan. 1, 1974, North Bend became the first city in King County to contract with the Sheriff ’s Department.

A rare birth defect can’t slow down Hunter Stembler, playing with his mom Christina, of Snoqualmie, at the Northwest Railway Museum. Hunter, 4, is a survivor of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which brings challenges in breathing and eating. Christina is holding an awareness walk for the condition Thursday, April 19, in Seattle.

Hearing Monday for Mill annex A public hearing and possible action on an annexation agreement for the Snoqualmie mill site is planned for Monday, April 23, before the King County Council.

In late March, the county’s Transportation, Economy, and Environment Committee unanimously adopted new protections, proposed by County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, while voting to recommend the interlocal agreement for annexation to the full council.

The agreement will be considered at the regular council meeting, which begins at 1:30 p.m. in chambers on the tenth floor of the King County Courthouse.

Members of the public will have the opportunity to testify on the legislation, and there will be a testimony sign-up

sheet at the clerk’s window on the left-hand side of the tenth floor lobby. Testimony time allocates two minutes per person; comments can also be submitted in writing.

In an e-mail, Lambert stated that the agreement offers a compromise balancing needs of all parties, and includes additional protection for surrounding residents.

“Annexation of this site could happen either by interlocal agreement (which is what this legislation approves) or by petition of the property owner,” she wrote. “If annexation were pursued by petition, it could move forward on its own and King County would not have any say in the terms of the annexation. In that scenario, the citizens of unincorporated King County would then not have any of the additional protections and concessions that are provided for in the (agreement).”

The results of federal highway planners’ environmental look at the upcoming Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road Project are the topic of an open house and public comment night, 5 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 18, at the North Bend Ranger Station, 902 Southeast North Bend Way. Project staff will be on hand to share the latest information on the plan for reconstruction of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Road, Forest Road 56, in King County and the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

Snoqualmie and North Bend Police Departments will once again be participating in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. This event will be held on Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at two locations: the Snoqualmie Fire Department, located at 37600 S.E. Snoqualmie Parkway and at the North Bend Park & Ride located at the southeast corner of East North Bend Way and East McClellan Street.

Participants can dispose of any unwanted or unused pharmaceuticals, no questions asked, at the collection. All drugs collected will be safely incinerated.

This nationwide event, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency, has helped eliminate hundreds of pounds of unused, potentially dangerous prescription drugs from the Valley. Last year, agencies in North Bend and Snoqualmie collected and disposed of 236 pounds of drugs.

Also part of the North Bend collection, sheriff ’s personnel will accept donations for the Mount Si Food Bank.

PARTNERS FROM 1 Now, the North Bend council is reviewing that decision, and considering reversing it. At its Tuesday, April 17, meeting, the council invited public testimony on a possible change from King County to the Snoqualmie Police Department, for police services.

Cost and local control are again at the center of the discussion, which began three or four years ago, says North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing in a meeting of the mayors and city administrators of both cities.

North Bend officials are seeking lower costs, greater local control, and a third component, community-oriented policing, from their law enforcement service, and are hoping to find it all, just down the road in Snoqualmie.

Hearing, who can’t actually vote on the contract, said, “We’re going to have to negotiate a contract with Snoqualmie that gives us a level of control in our policing.” He sees that as a position or two on a Snoqualmie public safety committee, or even better, forming a joint commission for organizing the police in both cities.

“Community-oriented policing is the type of policing that Snoqualmie does now, where the intent is to get to know the constituency and to get the constituency to know them,” Hearing added.

King County Sheriff Steve Strachan knows about community-oriented policing. So do Sgt. Mark Toner, North Bend’s chief of police, and Kym Smith, office supervisor at the North Bend Sheriff’s substation. And they are all a little confused on why that’s an issue.

“We have that. It’s already here,” said Smith, who’s been with the department for 14 years.

As one of the department’s two civilian employees and a lifelong North Bend resident, Smith sees her deputies meeting with citizens every day, handing out stickers to children, and listening to people’s concerns.

“The officers work with the community extremely well,” she said. “Everybody knows that they can call in here, whether they want to be anonymous, or give us their name, and tell us what’s going on in their communities. The citizens are our eyes and ears. They do such a good job letting us know what’s going on, (so) we can go out and make that difference.”

Toner, Smith, and Strachan all stressed that they had no complaints about and no intention of criticizing the Snoqualmie Police Department, which Strachan said was “a good partner for us.” However, they also felt that the Snoqualmie officers weren’t the only ones who knew their community well. The nine deputies serving the North Bend substation have all spe-

Students lined up at Fall City Elementary School’s new playground Monday to try out the equipment, officially open to the public after an April 9 ribbon cutting. The new playground, the only one in the community of Fall City, is located in the school’s primary grade play area, designed for FCES students in Kindergarten through second grade. It was officially opened to the school and community after Superintendant Joel Aune, along with Principal Dan Schlotfeldt, playground supervisor Diane Johnson, PTSA President Cynthia Thomsen and PTSA Playground Project Chair Sophie Harris cut the ribbon. Jeff McMorris, Chief of Staff to King County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, also attended. cifically requested assignment here, Toner said, and several, like Paul Eng, have been in the community for more than 20 years.

Toner himself came to North Bend in August 2009, and remembers some challenges at first in coordinating deputies and shifts.

“In North Bend, we have a flex model, which means we’ll always have a guy here, but we don’t always know who that is,” Toner said. “We can have a different guy every day, but we try not to.”

Toner pushed for a regularly-scheduled roster of deputies, as much for the city’s benefit as for the deputies’. “We want somebody consistent, and the guys want that too…

Once you get assigned to a district, you kind of feel ownership of it.”

After a challenging start, Toner was happy to see a core group of deputies form at the substation. Of the entire department’s 700 deputies, Toner typically only sees these nine come to work at his department each day.

“The only time we get changes up here right now is, one, if somebody gets transferred or promoted, or two, if somebody is on vacation,” Toner said. “This year has been the most stable I’ve seen.”

Unlike the dedicated model used by most cities contracting with the sheriff’s department, the flex model covers such scheduling gaps by assigning another deputy to empty posts in the short term. It also allows

wants to work with them on ways to save. Each city’s contract “is totally driven by what the community wants to do,” he said, and contracts can be changed at any time. He can’t change his labor costs, however. They are set by a fiveyear deputies’ union contract, which is up for renegotiation now and renewal in 2013.

Strachan rattles off a list of changes that he would make for North Bend, from closing the substation and renting a smaller space – Toner would like a location within the city’s downtown, but Strachan would be open to subletting from Snoqualmie’s police station – to finding other ways to partner without jeopardizing the local control.

“This is not an open market... Strachan said. “These are all tax dollars funding our departments.”

North Bend’s contract can be updated at any time, Rask said, with a written request from the city administrator.

Her office can also help advise cities on possible changes to their contract, she said, but “We don’t ever tell a customer how they should staff their police department. That’s completely up to them. All we do is figure out...a model of what that would look like.”

Strachan hopes to negotiate contract changes that save the city money, while better utilizing the resources at his, and possibly Snoqualmie’s forces.

“I would be amazed if we couldn’t work that out,” he said.

Right here and now, you can help the world

I

don’t have to go far to see that the world is changing. In fact, I barely need to take a step.

Right outside the window in downtown Snoqualmie, as I speak, there’s an electric vehicle charging station, stall and all. It didn’t exist a few months ago, but now, the electronics are switched on and, for a price, it’s ready to charge your car.

All it needs are customers. The Volkswagen parked there now isn’t plugged in. When the “No Parking: Reserved for Customers” sign went up, it drew a few angry looks from drivers hoping to park in front of our building. But there’s plenty of parking in downtown Snoqualmie, most days, if you know where to look, so I won’t begrudge the little station its due. This, after all, is the wave of the future.

Seth Truscott With the 42nd Earth Day upon us, Editor it’s worth taking a moment to consider the Valley and its environment. You don’t have to go far off the beaten path around here to discover some unsubtle signs of the times. Drive up to Lake Alice, and see 40 years worth of abandoned cars and litter, dumped off a cliff to be someone else’s problem.

Drive over to the vanished mill town of Riverside, on Reinig Road, and you’ll see how the lots are being reclaimed by nature—but also how much of that ‘nature’ is a noxious, human-caused invader, English ivy. Plants like Japanese knotweed, Himalayan blackberry and ivy are amazingly pervasive, unnatural to this area, but are almost unstoppable.

And yet, for every mistake we make—every dumped car, planted weed, every wasteful act—we all have the power to correct it. Today, I’m amazed at all the positive things we can do for the health of our Valley and environment, not just on Earth Day, but all the time.

Get involved This coming weekend, there are three local events in which people are gathering to plant trees and generally ‘go green.’ First, on Friday, April 20, the Snoqualmie Tribe hosts an Earth Day party at Sandy Cove Park with interpretive walks and plenty of booths. At 11:45 a.m. Saturday, April 21, Arbor Day plantings are happening in several neighborhoods in Snoqualmie. At 10 a.m., Carnation’s Stillwater Wildlife Area also hosts a tree planting event.

Do your part It’s getting increasingly easy to lighten your impact on the world. Recycling options for materials like yard waste, metal cans or paper are growing ever-easier in Valley cities. If you don’t have a blue bin, King County has committed to keeping open the Cedar Falls recycling station just outside of North Bend, which is free to use. There’s also a special recycling event, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at Snoqualmie Middle School. I’ve taken my old junk to this event in the past, and it’s a quick, cheap way to clean out the garage. There are also plenty of charities in the Valley, such as Re-In-Carnation and the Mount Si Senior Center thrift store, that can give your older stuff a new life.

Teach the next generation It’s never too soon to start showing young people the importance of a healthy city and healthy world.

Those Earth Day events I mention above are specifically designed to bring children, teens and parents together to help our environment. While hiking, planting trees, exploring your surroundings, your family will bond, and you’ll all get a satisfying, healthy work-out in the bargain.

Welcome,

support visiting sports teams It was great to see the University of Washington

Cycling Team do their Criterion race here in North Bend on the March 24-25 weekend.

Only problem was, no one showed up to cheer on the riders. The only people I saw there were the riders themselves, from the UW and from other schools around the country.

These types of events are great for the city, and put us on the map. We should try to support them when they visit. And yes, they do spend money in our town...I saw many of them at QFC and North Bar & Grill having lunch.

had an excellent education at all three.

My middle son was in the last class to graduate from Chief Kanim Middle School before Twin Falls opened.

At that time, they had extra classes such as Spanish that could be offered, because the student body was large enough to support the extra teachers required. It never hurt my children to take the hour bus ride each way from Wilderness Rim to Chief Kanim, and their education was never lacking with the school bustling and full. In fact, it benefited my North Bend boys to know and become friends with students from all over the district.

I have spent enough time at the high school to know overcrowding needs to be the priority. If you are ever in the halls when the bells ring, good luck in even moving, let alone getting where you need to be.

I know that there are ninth graders and older students who struggle daily with the size of the school.

I think the positive impact of the Freshman Learning Center will more than make up for the pains of transition.

If you’re worried that your SMS student will have a hard time adjusting to the FLC, then you should be crazy scared how they will adjust to the size, pace and atmosphere at Mount Si if things don’t change. Even if a bond for a new high school passed tomorrow, it would probably never be built in time

for your child to attend. If you are worried your child won’t adjust to going to Chief Kanim for eighth grade, you should know it is an excellent school.

The ninth grade campus is a fix for the crowding at the high school that needs to be fixed now. I applaud the three board members, who are in the know enough, for making a hard choice. Maybe the two who did not get their way need to become team players and work toward making this work. The vote happened, they lost, now they need to start acting for our children and not against the remaining members of the board.

We as a community can help our children accept the reality of the FLC now, and grow their excitement for the opportunity to continue their learning together there in ninth grade.

Day of Silence helps schools become safer On Friday, April 20, students at Mount Si High School will have the opportunity to join with approximately 50,000 students nationwide to participate in the Day of Silence. It is a day of solidarity in support of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, or Questioning (GLBTQ) students who are bullied and who feel silenced because of their friends and family who do not accept their sexuality.

GLBTQ teens are a very high-risk community. They are more likely to be homeless, to do drugs, to fail classes and to struggle with depression than their straight peers. The Day of Silence is meant to show support to those kids. The Gay-Straight Alliance Club, or GSA, hopes that by raising awareness on this issue, the school will become a more safe and accepting place.

A student participating in the Day of Silence needs to attend a student-run training meeting before school, after school, or at lunches during the week prior to the day. The student will then take a vow of silence for the day, and is welcome to come to a debriefing meeting after school that day in room 303. The student will be equipped with “speaking cards,” or cards that explain their reason for choosing not to speak.

Learning is still the primary objective of the day. Teachers do not participate in Day of Silence and teach classes just as they would any other day. Students participating in the Day of Silence are still required to participate in class, speaking if they have to.

Students are by no means forced to participate. Participation is on a strictly voluntary basis, and there are roughly 150 students who participate each year. Choosing not to participate, however, is not an opposition to the GLBTQ community, and participating in the day in no way makes you gay.

We are excited, like always, to see the support of the GLBT community on this day. Each year, the Day of Silence becomes less of a controversial issue and more of a supported cause. We are happy to see the community changing and Mount Si becoming a more accepting place for all students.

Feel free to visit www.mshsgsa.com for more information or to contact the club.

Winner of a

LINDELL FROM 1 She will be North Bend’s new city administrator as of May 1.

Lindell, whose contract was approved by the North Bend City Council April 3, says she has “a passion for local government. Local government is closest to people. I like that people can come and talk to their elected officials, I like that grassroots, community groups can make a difference and do things. I like to see the results of local government.”

A city, she said, offers “almost instant gratification on projects.”

She referred to the “charming” downtown renovations in Snoqualmie, and added “I think North Bend has the ability to also, not reinvent itself, but just improve what’s there.”

Lindell offered another example from her last role in city government, from 2000 to 2008.

“I had that privilege in Mercer Island, where the citizens and city staff had planned and planned and planned for town center redevelopment, and I … actually saw that plan come to fruition,” she said.

Mercer Island was the last city she’d worked for, and her departure from that position made

headlines for several months.

Lindell was fired in September, 2008, for undisclosed reasons.

She believes her dismissal was retaliation for her role in an investigation of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct by several city employees, including her boss, city manager Rich Conrad.

She made headlines again a year later when she filed a lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination, and again last June when the city of Mercer Island settled with her for $1 million. Around the same time, a judge fined the city $90,000 for a violation of the public records act, and ordered the city to pay Lindell’s attorney claims of $178,000.

Suing her own city, Lindell knew, would be a risky career move, but she was motivated by several factors, including the city of Mercer Island’s welfare.

“I wanted to protect the best interests of the city,” she said.

She filed her lawsuit a year after her dismissal, when she said, “I was finding that my opportunities’ doors were being shut.” It was a difficult decision for her, she said, and one she has now put behind her, but “I strongly believe I did what was right,” she said.

www.valleyrecord.com

So does North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, who led the interview process for city administrator candidates.

“She was fired for standing on her ethics,” Hearing said, “I have no concerns whatsoever. She is literally a Duncan (Wilson, current city administrator) clone… they were cut from the same bolt of cloth.”

Hearing and an interview team of senior staff and council members interviewed the six finalists, selected from a pool of 45 applicants, in mid-March, and said, “as I expected, one person was going to rise to the surface, and be evidently the best fit, best qualified for the job.”

Lindell, with her experience in law, particularly land-use law, as well as city management, was the candidate with the experience, and something even more important.

“Fit was the number-one priority,” said Hearing. “Number two was legal, and number three was finance.”

Lindell spoke briefly at the April 3 council meeting after her contract was approved. She described her experiences as a real estate developer, which she saw as an asset to her new role.

“I have that unique perspective of being on both sides of the

(permit) counter,” she said.

She will begin her new role in North Bend on May 1. Her predecessor, Duncan Wilson, leaves the city May 15 for a position at Friday Harbor. Lindell said his praise of the North Bend Council and community were one of her top reasons for considering the position, at a much smaller city than she’s previously managed, in the first place.

“I’m doing this more for quality of life,” she said. “As long as North Bend still wants me to lead the city, I want to stay here.”

Lindell will be paid $9,262 per month. Wilson, who’s been with the city since 2006, was earning $10,018 per month.

CHS team wins national spot in FIRST robotics challenge

Valley’s favorite PE teacher Alan Tepper hanging up his unicycle

By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

As a PE teacher for 32 years, Alan Tepper has spent his adult life teaching healthy ways, via physical education, to Valley grade schoolers.

This year, though, is Tepper’s last as both teacher and coach.

“I am retiring finally. I’m going to miss it, but I realize it’s time,” the North Bend Elementary educator said.

In his 45-year career, which started in 1967 on the east coast, before moving to the Valley in 1974 and to North Bend Elementary in 1980, Tepper has consistently taught PE. It was an invaluable subject in his own childhood, he said, when he struggled with ADHD. “It’s helped me focus, helped me live a healthier lifestyle,” he said, and Tepper has worked his entire career to bestow those benefits on his students, both in school, and as the head coach of the Panther Pride Unicycling Team.

In 2012, he reluctantly, but gratefully accepted the honor of “Best Teacher,” bestowed on him by Record readers in the Best of the Valley poll.

“I really am very humbled and really appreciate the fact that many think that I’m a quality teacher,” he said, “but I know that there are others who should be there ahead of me.”

Many of his colleagues at North Bend Elementary School are deserving, he says, including Kindergarten teacher Mary-Lee Johnson, fourth grade teacher Tom Fladland, and occupational therapist Erik Lagace. “They are unbelievable,” he says, in admiration.

Few teachers, he said, have his “advantage” of seeing most of the students in the school every week.

Being the public’s choice for best teacher wasn’t really Tepper’s goal, but being a good teacher always has been.

“Set high standards in your classroom, and be very consistent with making sure that everybody has opportunities to live up to those high standards,” he says.

Posing with a young student, North Bend Elementary physical education teacher Alan Tepper has spent more than 40 years keeping pupils active. He retires this summer.

That means “starting every child where they are, and allowing them to move forward, at their own pace” and remembering that “everybody can achieve, but not everybody can achieve the same.”

In his retirement, he plans to pursue his passion of photography. It’s a hobby that he incorporated into his teaching over the years, resulting in the walls of his gym being covered with photos of students in class. He’d snap them as they were trying a new skills, so they could see how they looked and moved.

“You learn by seeing yourself doing a thing,” he explained.

Plus, “Kids love having their picture taken.”

All of those photos will come down at the end of the year, and Tepper hopes community members will come looking for images of themselves, their children, or grandchildren.

As he considers how exactly to get these photos to their families, he’s also still thinking like a teacher.

“Maybe I could use it as fundraiser for the PTA, for some new PE program.”

In its first year of competition in the FIRST FRC robotics competition, Cedarcrest High School has qualified a team for the national championship event in St. Louis, Missouri, April 25 to 29.

The Cedarcrest team, who refer to themselves as Stealth Robotics, includes Andrew Burnell, Taylor Cramer, Miles Denison, Adam Ish, Ellie Ish, Jake Knoth, Zachary Mabe, Nate Sutherland, Lucas Wagner and Madison Waterman. Also participating were Sidney Allen, Trevor Ashby, Alicia Browning, Dominic Dams, Chris Dowd, Savannah Egger, Ethan Klingsheim, Kendall Koch, Austin Koons, Gina McNulty, Nathaniel Nemeth, Emily Rule, Keenan Taylor, Kyle Thompson, Jaclyn Ward and Zach Wynakos.

Stealth Robotics first competed at Century Link Field in Seattle, at the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, a non-profit started by inventor Dean Kamen in 1989 to inspire young people’s interest in science and technology) multi-state regional competition March 23-24.

Dreams of stardom, comic farce at Center Stage with ‘Moon Over Buffalo’

Valley Center Stage expects audiences to split their sides at the community theater’s next comedy, “Moon Over Buffalo.”

Set in the early 1950s in Buffalo, New York, the play centers on a family of actors trying to make a show come together. Former Broadway stars George and Charlotte Hay (played by locals Peter Cook and Denise Paulette) are reduced to playing Repertory Theater in Buffalo. Though they still dream of film stardom, they are keeping body and soul together with a half-deaf mother-inlaw (Becky Rappin), their daughter, Roz (Lisa Bryant) and her ex-boyfriend stage manager Paul (Adam Hegg). By a lucky chance, they are offered the chance to perform for Frank Capra, a famous film director, scouting for his new film.

However, things go terribly wrong when George disappears because his wife discovers proof of a dalliance with a young local actress in the cast (Julia Buck). Everyone must find him and keep the play of their lives from falling apart.

Moon Over Buffalo has great physical comedy, a sword fight and a wild, whacky plot that includes a hapless local TV weatherman (Craig Ewing) and a rival for Charlotte’s affection, the company’s lawyer and the Hay’s personal manager (Jim Snyder). It is directed by veteran actor/ director Alan Wilke.

The show opens on Thursday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m., and runs for three weekends through May 5, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12.50 for students (15 and under) and seniors (62 and up) available online at www.valleycenterstage.org.

alley elementary, middle and high school students explore bold frontiers, serious mysteries and weird wonders in annual science fairs.

The following are a sampling of the wide variety of projects to spring from their imaginations.

Electric Shoes He’s not a runner himself, but Cedarcrest High School junior Alex Ratayzeck laced up his own shoes and took a couple of jogs to prove his hypothesis: there are plenty of ways to produce electricity that have nothing to do with fossil fuels.

“The world uses 18 trillion kilowatts per year, and 77 percent of it is supplied by fossil fuel,” he said at the Cedarcrest science fair in February. His goal, with his electric shoes, was to lighten some of that load.

“Even if it just charges an iPod, that’s that much less electricity that is taken from the fossil fuels,” he said.

The shoes work, too. The left one is a Faraday device, modeled after a flashlight that is powered by shaking. The right one is piezoelectric, more intriguing to Ratayzeck, but less powerful.

“The Faraday one works very well. It actually generates quite a few volts,” he said. “The piezoelectric one produced a little less voltage than I wanted, but it still produced enough to be practical.”

Ratayzeck’s shoes earned him first place at the Central Sound Regional Science & Engineering Fair in March, but he’s gotten used to science success.

“Last year, I built an argon gas laser,” he said.

Deep freeze As his friend Adam Rogers pulls on gloves to help, Twin Falls Middle Schooler Carlos Larios cheerfully

dunks a chunk of super-cold dry ice into water, mist swirling around his station.

Carlos is having fun with the experiment, in which he proves that the warmer the water bath, the faster the dry ice—frozen carbon dioxide—evaporates.

“I’ve been curious about dry ice,” the seventh grader says. “Even if you hold it with gloves, it can still burn you.”

The dry ice experiment was among a number of serious and goofy topics at Twin Falls’ science fair on April 12, which ranged from dirty keyboards and homemade hovercrafts to DNA and smoking’s effects on the lungs.

“Science is an interesting thing,” Carlos says. “We get to learn how things grow and transform. It’s not always putting Mentos in Coke. It’s about learning how chemicals react to each other.

Yoga vs.

Television

A cultural showdown was at the heart of Carly Stewart’s science fair entry at Cedarcrest. The freshman wanted to compare the effects of two different activities, practicing yoga, and watching television, on people’s bodies.

“I took their blood pressure before and after yoga, and then before and after television, and I found that yoga significantly lowered their blood pressure, and television significantly increased their blood pressure,” she said.

Television was limited to the show “24,” but Stewart wanted to further investigate the effects of different types of television shows. For this experiment, the action show fit her purposes.

“When you’re watching television, you’re always thinking ‘what’s going to happen next?’ You’re trying to figure out the plot, and in yoga, you’re trying to focus on your breathing, and really relaxing,” she said. “I really wanted to see the overall difference between mental calmness and mental activity…

I wanted to see if there’s an unspoken reason why many Americans have hypertension.”

Zapped hair

Opstad Elementary’s science fair drew an estimated 1,000 people, who viewed presentations such as an exploration of whether dog nose-prints are as unique as human fingerprints, as well as trying their hand at the demonstrations.

The OtterBots robotics display and 100,000 volt Van de Graaf “lightning machine,” the effects of which are pictured above, were again popular displays.

Science fair participants chose topics that were interesting to them, then formed the questions they wanted to explore, predicted the answers, tested their predictions, then reported on their projects. A group of 26 adult volunteers judged the projects during the day. Mount Si High School teacher Kyle Warren nominated 30 finalists for Super Scientist awards, and the judges also selected award winners.

Vinegar rocket Twin Falls’ Ashley Gate has always liked explosions. She gave the science fair stand-by, vinegar reacting with baking soda, a new twist: she added measured amounts of baking soda to vinegar in a canister, shook it up and ran for cover. The resulting ‘rocket’ leaped into the air. Her dad, watching from nearby, helped her gauge the height of the launch.

“I’m going to think of other experiments to do with baking soda,” she says.

Healthy Kids Day coming to Ridge Children and parents are invited to the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day, Saturday, April 28, part of the nation’s largest health day for families.

The day is held to inspire healthy lifestyles and physical activity year-round, a commitment to educational activities over the summer and closer connections in the community.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Y hosts free games and activities for all ages, healthy snacks, facility tours and pool time.

H

Community organizations, businesses and partners take part.

Research shows that without access to activities that stimulate both the mind and body, kids are more prone to gain weight and fall behind academically over the summer months.

“Healthy Kids Day opens families to all the activities...to keep them moving during our rainy, blustery seasons and to prevent learning loss during the summer,” said Milissa Morgan, Director of Membership and Family Programs for the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA. “We strive to keep kids and families physically and intellectually active.” Learn more at www. seattleymca.org Staff Photo

Invitational track meet returns to Snoqualmie It’s been more than 20 years since Mount Si High School hosted a major, competitive invitational track meet.

On Saturday, April 21, the Mount Si Invitational Track Meet returns to Snoqualmie for the first time since 1990. Participating teams include 2A, 3A and 4A schools from the greater Puget Sound area: Clover Park, Sequim, Hazen, Holy Names, O’Dea, GrahamKapowsin, Marysville-Pilchuck, Snohomish, and the home ‘Cats.

Spectators will see some of the best high school level competition of the season so far in both track and field events. Old record could fall, but Bill Robey’s Mount Si 300 meter hurdles meet record of 40.75 set in 1985 could be tough to reach. Top athletes to watch at the meet include Totum Taylor from O’Dea in both the 100 and 200 meter sprints, Mount Si’s Bradley Stevens in the javelin, Kevin Yates of Snohomish in the long jump, Cecilia Jackson from Holy Names in the 100 meter hurdles, and Summer Cull of Marysville-Pilchuck in the pole vault.

Admission is $5. Events start at 11 a.m.

Soccer Attack Camps return The eighth season of Wildcat Soccer Attack Camps is in the works. Held in three sessions in June and July, camps give beginning and advanced soccer skills to local youth, and are aimed at boys and girls ages 5 to 13. Head coach Darren Brown runs the program. Cost is $95.

Trina Eck has been waiting a long time for this.

The senior’s patient play, returning volleys and overcoming challenges in a 6-0, 6-4 win over Juanita’s Kelsey Glenn, helped in the team’s 4-3 win over the Rebels on Tuesday, April 10. It was the best match of her life, head coach Jane Job said.

“For a long time, our number-one singles has not won,” Job said. “Number one is a very brutal spot… Trina has made history.”

“I’m so excited,” Eck said following her match, which she described as a confidence booster. Eck, a team leader, focused on outlasting her opponent and waiting to capitalize on mistakes.

“I try to keep a rally going,” she said.

“I’m definitely trying to keep consistent,

rather than slam it.”

In doubles, the number-two team of juniors Jessica Graves and Annie McCall beat Juanita’s Brittney Hard and Rachel Russell, 6-0, 3-6, 5-3.

See Telepathy, 13

The oldest competitor in the field, David Moses may have something to teach the young bucks.

After all, Moses, 48, out-sawed and out-chopped seven other men in a major pro timber sports challenge.

The win, a climax of his career, came as a bit of a surprise to Moses. He just wanted to make it to the next level of competition.

“I was not expecting to have a day like I did,” he said. “It’s something a lot of pro competitors wish would happen.”

At the Stihl Timbersports Series’ Western Qualifier, held Saturday, March 30, in Corvalis, Ore., Moses took first in five of six events, including the springboard chop, stock saw, standing block chop, underhand chop, and single buck chop. He was the fifth placer in the hot saw, or custom chainsaw competition. Moses thinks he may have throttled back in that last one because he already had the competition as a whole well in hand, and didn’t want to break his custom saw chain.

“There was no way anyone was going to catch me,” he said.

Moses, a Crossfit athlete, was better conditioned, physically and mentally, than the competition.

“I relaxed, I didn’t try to rush. I went through it,” Moses said.

The springboard chop, an event in which competitors use an axe to install platforms on a tall, vertical log, is his hardest event.

In this competition, he calmly focused on cutting his notches in good time.

Moses, who lives in Snoqualmie, picked up $2,500 in prize money. But the real prize is a trip to the pro and collegiate championships, part of the Great Smoky Lumberjack Feud in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., June 1 to 3. With nationals in six weeks, he plans to stay conditioned while fine-tuning his methods.

The 5’11”, 255-pound Moses has been a timber athlete since 1972. He is sponsored by Edmond Co. of Tacoma and friend Robert Groce, who helps with his chainsaws. He also thanks his father, David Moses Sr., for coaching him, and his wife Annette, also a timber athlete, for her support.

• You can watch Moses in the Stihl series competition when it’s televised, 1 p.m. Sunday, April 22, on the Outdoor Channel. You can also follow him on Facebook.

TELEPATHY FROM 12

Galloway signs with Ore Tech Owls

After their first-set win, “We kind of psyched ourselves out in the second one,” McCall said. They set up their hopes to come back in the third, and then made it happen, in their first-ever doubles pairing.

“We sync pretty well,” McCall said. “We switch well, and cover each other’s position.”

When one misses a ball, “you’ve got to pay attention and be their back-up,” Graves said.

“It’s kind of like tennis telepathy,’” McCall added.

Mount Si’s number-three team of Peyton McCulley and Schumacher beat Juanita’s Gilbert and Farley, 6-4, 4-6, 10-7.

At number-four singles, Mount Si senior Sam Lindmeier claimed a forfeit after one match against Antoinette Ngo, 6-4.

“That was my first singles match on varsity,” Lindmeier said. “It’s the first game I’ve won this year. I like the competition and how playing singles is so much easier—you don’t have to worry about the other person.”

“I love tennis,” Graves said.

“I’ve played other sports, but this one is just fun.”

The team is close, bonding well, despite a switch in coaches. Eric Hansen departed abruptly, citing personal reasons, at the end of spring break, with assistant Jane Job stepping up to take the reins of varsity. Jim Gibowski will finish the season as JV coach.

Mount Si senior, middle blocker, headed to Klamath Falls Mount Si senior Krista Galloway has signed to play volleyball for the Oregon Institute of Technology at Klamath Falls.

Galloway, a 6’1” middle blocker, helped lead the Wildcats to a sixth place finish at the 3A Washington State Championship last fall, and to a third-place showing at the SeaKing Districts. She earned second-team all-conference honors in her senior season.

Head coach Jason Corwin announced the first group of signees for the Owls in March.

CHERUBs FROM 1

Northwest CHERUBS walk

“Is he awesome?” asks Christina.

“Yeah,” comes the reply. Hunter reveals that Thomas is fast, too, and that he gets in lots of crashes.

But this train is no ordinary toy, and Hunter is no ordinary boy. The little train is a reward for Hunter doing something today that he finds hard, but comes much easier for other little boys.

In a sitting last week, he ate three tablespoons of yogurt—the most food he’s ever swallowed.

He gets a treat for that.

“Today, Hunter let me put three spoonfuls of yogurt in his mouth,” Stembler says. “He sat there and let me!”

He likes the taste, but eating itself is a challenge.

“Later on, he’ll realize that eating is a part of life,” Christina said.

Snoqualmie mom Christina Stembler is organizing a Seattle Parade of CHERUBS, one of seven walks nationwide raising awareness of CDH, a birth defect that affects the diaphragm.

The walk is Thursday, April 19, on the Seattle waterfront.

You can learn more about CHERUBS and CDH by visiting www.cdhsupport.org, www.babyhomepages.net/stembler, or contacting Christina Stembler at (425) 922-2828 or washington@cherubs-cdh.org.

Or, visit her Facebook page, “CDH Awareness Seattle, Washington Parade of Cherubs.”

Diaphragm defect Hunter was born in 2008 with an unusual birth defect. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, or CDH, is about as rare as cystic fibrosis or spina bifida, affecting about one out of every 2,500 babies.

With CDH, a child develops without a diaphragm, the muscles that separate the chest cavity from the belly and allow us to breathe.

Hunter’s left diaphragm muscle did not form, so his guts push into his chest cavity, his heart shifted right, and his left lung didn’t fully grow.

CDH usually begins around the eighth week of pregnancy, and moms don’t typically discover the condition, if they discover it at all, until the 20th week. Christina’s doctor did discover the condition, and gave Christina and husband Aaron the choice to decide whether Hunter would be born at all.

It was a hard choice, and a big risk. Babies with CDH have about a 50 percent chance at survival; those that do live often have complications for the rest of their life.

“You get as good as you get,” Christina said.

“We chose to keep him,” she says, choking up, because “he didn’t give up. He’s awesome… He’s been my little miracle man ever since.”

Hunter survived, breathing via an ECMO, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

machine, which acts as a mechanical heart, lungs and kidney all in one. Then, doctors put a synthetic patch where his left diaphragm should be.

But his life was still far from normal. His chances of getting sick have always been very high, and he’s survived some tough respiratory infections. Hunter doesn’t grow as fast, or weigh as much, as his siblings do.

Already, his younger brother Hayden is rapidly gaining on him.

“My 2-year-old is climbing walls, everything he can,” Christina added. “Hunter’s just learning how to do that. He’s just learning how to jump… Hayden is almost his size, but Hunter holds his own.”

Besides going to the Snoqualmie Elementary School special needs preschool, Hunter spends five days a week with a special therapist, learning how to eat. They sit together and find fun ways to handle food.

Food is very tricky for Hunter. The breathing tubes he needed after he was born, and again when he had a bad respiratory infection, plus the

Stay in the Valley Residence of North Bend

with ‘Best in the Valley’ • live with old friends • make new friends • be treated like family • enjoy creative activities

fact that the valve between his esophagus and his stomach isn’t fully formed, made it really hard for him to eat like other little boys. Hunter eats via a syringe into his body. He’s never known the thrills of fruit, chocolate or soda, though he did once get a tiny sip of his dad’s beer.

“There’s a window, when you’re a baby, to learn to suck, swallow, breathe,” Christina said.

“Because he had a breathing tube shoved down his mouth so long, he missed that window.”

He’s never wanted to put food in his mouth, so he throws up. When his younger brother was born, Christina had to get used to a son who was hungry for solid food, again.

For all his challenges, Hunter’s a smart kid.

“He’s very emotional, very keen on how he’s making you feel,” Christina said. If he upsets someone, or says something wrong, he’s quick to say sorry or offer a kiss.

When Hunter was born, Christina’s oldest daughter Danielle had a boyfriend, Jake Huber.

“We were explaining about Hunter, and (Jake) said, ‘I think I had that,’” Christina said.

He showed them the scar from his own diaphragm surgery.

Learning how a healthy teen like Jake had survived the condition brightened a dark time for the family.

“I realized what Hunter has the capability of becoming—anything!” Christina said. “It was such a huge relief.”

“The hardest time was at the very beginning,” said Stephanie Huber, Jake’s mom. “They tell you he has a (huge) chance of not surviving.”

Jake was in the hospital for months, on oxygen. Stephanie had to learn how to feed him.

He endured bad chest colds. But Jake’s situation slowly got better.

“He got stronger and stronger all the time,” said Stephanie. By the time Jake was eight years old, he had moved past it.

“He never really looked back after that,” Stephanie said. Today, at age 20, Jake Huber snowboards and does lots of hard, physical things. The only echo of CDH is the occa-

sional case of severe hiccups.

Thinking of Jake, Christina now takes Hunter to visit other families, who have newborns with CDH and are new to the whole thing.

“They can have the same emotion I felt when I met Jake,” Christina said. “It’s a dark road that they’re on, but they can see that there is a light.

Just have some faith.”

Getting the word out Stembler is helping fuel that faith through an effort spanning the Northwest. She is the Washington representative for CHERUBS, a national nonprofit that helps families of children born with CDH. Also known as the Association of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Research, Awareness and Support, CHERUBS promotes public knowledge of the defect, along with research into its causes and possible cures. Christina says doctors still have little ideas about what causes CDH. To get the word out about the group, and to push for congressional support for CDH research, Stembler is holding a walk on Thursday, April 19, on the Seattle waterfront.

“We’re doing these parades to share how important it is to do research,” Stembler said. “I just need people to sign up and join me.” She’s got about 20 people signed up for the event, a short walk and a balloon release; her goal is to have 50 attend.

Christina’s and Hunter’s efforts go to show local families that CDH is a real challenge, but that it can be overcome.

“They should know that I’m there for them,” Christina said.

• You can learn more about CHERUBS and CDH by visiting www.cdhsupport.org, www. babyhomepages.net/stembler, or contacting Christina Stembler at (425) 922-2828 or washington@cherubs-cdh.org.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Pediatrics Dentists recommend that children visit their dentists by their first birthday, as their first tooth comes in between six to 12 months.

Early examination and preventative care can protect your child from early childhood cavities and start your child on a lifetime of healthy dental habits.

Lois G. Nelson, died March 28, 2012 in Yakima. She has joined her parents James Edward and Gladys A. (Benson) Dodge and siblings Dick, Max and Laurel.

Mom was the glue that kept the family informed, counseled and loved. She was a very special, a good example of being a daughter, wife, mom, aunt, grandma, great-grandma and friend.

Mom was very beautiful, although she didn’t know it, everyone else did! We were never in danger of having too much money, but were rich in the things that mattered most, largely due to that overflowing fountain of LOVE named Lois. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Lois is survived by her sons Marc and Russell, three blessings, granddaughters, Wendy, Michelle and Erika; four great-grandchildren, Marcus, Kobe, Dayton and Jade.

Memorial Services were held on April 14, 2012 at the Community of Christ Church, 330 McGonagle Road, Selah.

Brookside Funeral Home & Crematory,Yakima, is entrusted with the arrangements.

PUBLIC NOTICE #611869 City of Seattle Seattle Public Utilities Cedar Falls Observation Deck Replacement Project SEPA Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) Description of Proposal SPU conducts tours of the Cedar River Municipal Watershed (CRMW) for approximately 12,000 visitors per year as part of its education and public outreach program. An important facility supporting these tours is the trail and observation deck at Cedar

Falls, a natural waterfall/cataract system downstream of the Masonry Dam.A November 2006 flood event caused extensive damage to the existing wooden observation deck, resulting in its closure and eventual demolition.

The proposed project would construct a new observation platform deck approximately 50 feet west and outside the ordinary high water mark (OHW) of the Cedar River. The deck would be 16 feet 2 inches in diameter (206 square feet) and rock/gravel-filled, and includes a large natural rock wall constructed using dry stack or cementitious mortar techniques and fitted with drilled anchors as needed. The rock construction is expected to increase the structure’s durability and resistance to future floods.

Also, an existing 12 foot by 10 foot interim wooden platform in this location would be demolished and an existing gravel path would be extended by 53 square feet to meet and match the new deck.

Project construction will likely require setting up a temporary skyline across the Cedar River from a mobile yarder stationed on the access road. The skyline will utilize natural gaps in the riparian and upland forests and serve to transport material and equipment between the road and project site under full suspension.

The skyline will be taken down immediately following construction.

Proponent Seattle Public Utilities Seattle Municipal Tower Suite 4900 P.O.
