Two women die in North Bend shooting; Detectives look for homicide clues

Snoqualmie 7: Couple’s new baby lambs are instant flock Page 12

By Valley Record Staff

Two women found dead inside a North Bend house that burned Sunday morning, April 22, were not killed by the fire, but by gunshot wounds, the King County Medical Examiner’s office reported Monday afternoon.

The women had not been identified by the Medical Examiner as of Tuesday morning, but are believed to be a mother and daughter who lived in the home, in the 47000 block of Southeast 159th Street. A third resident, Peter A. Keller, 41, is a “person of interest” in the case, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

Snoqualmie police have no doubts that municipal force can police neighboring North Bend

By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

Snoqualmie’s Police Department is ready to grow, was built for growth, in fact. Another six officers, the estimated hire needed for the department to police North Bend, wouldn’t even trigger an antici-

pated remodel of the 1998 building, says Jim Schaffer, Snoqualmie’s soon-to-retire chief.

The 13,000 square-foot police station on Douglas Avenue is home to 14 police officers and three civilian staff members, a handful of subletting State Highway Patrolmen, another handful of community meetings and programs, a firing range, two holding cells, a couple of dirtbikes for patrolling on trails, and a variety of special equipment.

It is also under-utilized, Schaffer says quite frankly, but only because it was built for the size of police force

Force change ‘Ready for anything’ is the second story in a three-part series exploring North Bend’s police contract, which may change from King County Sheriff to Snoqualmie Police. the growing town of Snoqualmie would ultimately need.

“We built it with the future in mind,” says Schaffer, who’s been with the department 23 years. “We came from 1,500 square feet to 13,000 square feet… and when it gets to the point we need to expand, we built for that, too.”

Her pursuers have come tantalizingly close to catching her, only to have her flee back into the Valley’s wilds.

Jim Branson, president of the non-profit Missing Pet Partnership, came within five feet of grabbing Smilla last week.

Saving Smilla is going to take a whole new strategy.

and a chiropractor and naturopathic physician in Bellevue, Jelstrup has searched for Smilla since she escaped from his driveway, and knows the dog better than anyone else in the Valley.

Jelstrup grew up in the remote, wild area of central Norway where Smilla comes from. This winter, he was asked by a longtime friend, farmer Anna Vorgen, to help sled dog musher and owner Silvia Furtwangler during her journey through Washington en route to the Iditarod.

Joining the expeditions as team doctor, Jelstrup came to see Furtwangler as a professional, considerate dog handler.

“She is an incredible, neat lady, phenomenal with animals,” Jelstrup told the Record. “She is a true wilderness lady.”

miles into the 1,100-mile journey. Jelstrup said some of the dogs were sick, and Furtwangler also had sled trouble.

She arrived back in Washington in the middle of the night, offloading dogs in crates into Jelstrup’s truck for the trip to Fall City.

“Unfortunately, she put a couple extra dogs into a cage to make it speedier,” Jelstrup said. “We got here, the cage explodes, and out rush the dogs. We caught two. Number three, gone. It was a logistic blunder.

“We’ve now spent five weeks running after Smilla,” Jelstrup added. “She always wins.”

Roaming runner Smilla weighs about 50 pounds, and has a collar and tags.

Capable of running 100 miles a day, she’s very shy of people and other dogs.

Smilla has been spotted at places as far apart as the Twin River Golf Course, Fall City Fire Station, Preston’s I-90 interchange and a home near the Raging River Community Church.

According to Branson, most loose dogs survive on the food that people leave out for feral cats.

“There’s one in every neighborhood,” Branson said.

“Dogs can find them by their noses.”

According to Branson, Smilla’s behavior is typical, but the range of her wanderings isn’t.

“She’s learned where to find food,” Branson. “She’s got lots of water, and she’s developed a strategy for being safe in traffic. She’s learned that, and managed to survive this far.”

“The plan going forward is that we want her to settle in a new location, like a pasture,” Branson said. “Hopefully, people will just let her rest quietly there, with some food. If we can get her to feel at home in someone’s yard, then we can work up the next plan for trapping her.”

With much of the Fall City and Preston community watching for Smilla. Jelstrup has been touched and impressed by the help he’s received, and the calls that he receives daily.

“It’s been amazing teamwork,” Jelstrup said. “One thing I’m getting out of it is how humane people can be. When you get an animal involved, the human, loving instinct comes out.”

Still, without her owner, Smilla can’t find anyone she trusts.

“She’s a hard-wired runner, and she has now turned feral,” Jelstrup said. He thinks it may come to a darting, a step of last resort.

“I saw a little limp on her, now,” Jelstrup said. “She can only do this so long.”

“We want people to not try to catch her,” Branson said.

HOW AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM HELPED CREATE A MODEL FOR

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN BREMERTON.

When the owners of Rice Fergus Miller, an architectural, interiors and planning firm, outgrew their location, they decided to convert an abandoned building in downtown Bremerton into their new office and studio. So they turned to Bank of America for land and construction loans to help realize their vision of designing the most energy-efficient office building in the Pacific Northwest. The building was awarded LEED Platinum certification and helped spark the city’s redevelopment. The area is now home to new parks, shops and offices — many of which Rice Fergus Miller designed.

Rice Fergus Miller is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in Bremerton — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222.5 million in new credit to small businesses in Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

POLICE FROM 1 From his office overlooking the small pond that hosts the annual spring children’s fishing derby, Schaffer gestures to the deck running along the southwest side of the building. The station can build out onto that, and to the southeast, pushing into their parking lot, to easily accommodate the 20-plus officers and civilian staff it would need to service a 15,000-person city.

The readiness of the station is a reflection of the officers that work there, according to several officers on the force.

“We feel like we’re capable of handling anything that comes at us,” said Officer Dan Moate, a department member for the last four years. As president of the Snoqualmie Police Association, Moate feels the officers are not only able to take on the additional responsibilities that would come with a contract for North Bend’s police services, but are looking forward to it.

“I think the benefit the officers see of getting the North Bend contract is more officers working together. Instead of three on a crew, we might have four or five,” Moate said.

Captain Steve McCulley, who will take the reins as chief when Schaffer retires June 30, outlined other benefits of a shared police force in the Upper Valley.

“North Bend has schools, Snoqualmie has schools, and we’re very entrenched in the schools. That can help make things more seamless, especially with the school district’s REMS grant,” he said, referring to the two-year federal grant the school district received last year for emergency management planning.

In ramping up to service North Bend, McCulley said, “there’s going to be a lot of community outreach, meeting with the businesses, seeing what their needs are, and just making sure that we’re stepping off on the right foot,” too.

McCulley also described the more advanced policing abilities his department could offer, at an April 17 presentation to the North Bend City Council.

Because of Snoqualmie’s membership in the Coalition of Small Police Agencies, McCulley said the department has access to detectives, its own major crimes task force, specialty training that would otherwise be too expensive for the department to offer, and the opportunity for each officer to focus on a particular area of police work.

“Each officer has a specialty,” McCulley told the North Bend Council.

The coalition was formed in 2002 to pool the resources of smaller agencies, making training more affordable, and winning grants more feasible. Each of the 12 police departments in

Passing of the teapot

William Shaw/Staff Photo

Girl Scouts with Troops 41784 join Brownies from Troop 42488, in a “passing of the teapot” moment at the senior tea, Friday, April 20, at Mount Si Senior Center. Girl Scouts originally met at the Senior Center. They started the annual tea as a thank-you to the center, and it has become an annual tradition. Now, Brownies of Troop 42488 will carry on the tradition.

2012 is the centennial of the Girl Scouts. the coalition contributes officers to coalition projects, such as investigating incidents like the missing person reported in Snoqualmie in November, 2010, on the major crimes task force, or becoming certified trainers in courses like the Active Shooter training held three weeks ago, or in emergency vehicle operations (EVOC). Two Snoqualmie officers are detectives on the major crimes task force, and Moate is an EVOC trainer. Officer Jason Weiss specializes in DUI enforcement both inside and beyond the coalition, something extra that a smaller department can offer its staff, Schaffer noted.

Last week, Weiss accepted an award for his department’s participation in the Target Zero enforcement partnership with several Eastside cities.

Of course, the highway patrol and sheriff’s department are also available for backup, McCulley added. Both he and Schaffer expressed full respect for the sheriff’s department, and a belief and desire that their relationship with the department would not change.

Sheriff Steve Strachan reassured everyone on that point, saying, “If we’re needed, we go.

No matter what we talk about here, that’s not going to change.”

Many Snoqualmie officers also live within the Upper Valley, McCulley said, giving them “a real understanding of what services need to be provided to our city.”

North Bend would benefit

from that, as well, if the city chose to contract with Snoqualmie.

“When the public calls for us, they’re going to get a police officer at their door,” McCulley said.

It will be a familiar face, too.

Snoqualmie will have to hire six new officers and a civilian records clerk to cover North Bend, and McCulley said he’s heard concerns that North Bend will get “the new guys.”

Not true, he says. “We’re going to send our best people over there, get them trained up and familiar with the city and their ordinances, while our new guys are getting trained here, under close supervision,” he said, “and then eventually they’ll be rotated through.”

“And they’ll be one of 18 cops in the city,” added Schaffer.

Schaffer counts 18 because the chief’s role is mainly administrative and the second-incommand captain is mainly supervisory. “We’re not what we call ‘real cops!’” he laughs.

of the public, and councilmen.

What about local control? Who is the department accountable to? What happens to the people outside the city limits? And what’s going on with Snoqualmie’s police contract?

Local control hadn’t been discussed yet, but Snoqualmie officials both at the meeting and afterward said North Bend will have some voice on police issues. City Manager Bob Larson said the city would be supportive of the idea of placing a North Bend councilman on the Snoqualmie Civil Service Commission (Schaffer was skeptical that this was allowed by state law, however).

Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson said “We’ve made very clear from the beginning, if

they contract for our services, they’re contracting with us,” but added “By no means is North Bend not going to have some influence here…. there’s going to be significant dollars invested in the ramp-up of our police department, so we’re clearly going to entertain their input.”

Larson added, however, that North Bend could lose a little in terms of accountability, and the loss of its own police chief.

He compared it to the city of Carnation’s contract for police services with Duvall, saying “Clearly they don’t have that connection, and that’s a choice.

If you want that, it’s more expensive.”

Schaffer felt accountability was just part of the job for his department, so when a business owner wanted to speak with a

higher-ranking officer about an ongoing problem, the sergeant, the captain, or even the chief would go to that talk.

“It’s wringing with accountability,” he said.

At the end of the day, though, North Bend can end any contract it enters with Snoqualmie, or, if still in negotiations, withdraw its 18-month notice of cancelling the sheriff’s contract.

Until then, if North Bend has hired Snoqualmie Police, the city will receive the same level of service that Snoqualmie residents have, Schaffer, McCulley, and Larson all affirmed.

Sheriff Strachan responded to the concerns about residents of unincorporated North Bend, assuring them that the current level of service, one deputy patrolling the C1 district from North Bend city limits to Snoqualmie Pass, won’t change.

In a separate conversation, Schaffer noted that his officers can and do keep an eye out for incidents outside of their coverage area, as well, and have open lines of communication with the sheriff’s department, the highway patrol, and other agencies that could respond.

He is also confident that his department is capable of doing the job for North Bend, despite the lack of a present contract with the Snoqualmie Police Association.

Expired since 2010, the contract has been through mediation, Moate said, and has just qualified for arbitration. He expected the contract discussion to be resolved soon.

Contract debates are common, all sides agreed.

Snoqualmie’s last three-year contract, now expired, was approved more than one year into its span, and in 2005, before a new contract was approved, Snoqualmie had considered dissolving its police department to contract with the Sheriff’s Department.

Until a new contract is in place, Moate said the force will operate under the terms of the old contract, and the negotiations haven’t affected morale.

“Just because we haven’t settled the contract, doesn’t mean we’re unhappy,” he said.

The details

Snoqualmie’s presentation at the North Bend council meeting emphasized capability, stability, education and community-oriented policing.

Like the King County Sheriff’s Office presentation that went before, it also focused on public safety, and the cooperation that already exists between the two agencies.

The questions it didn’t answer were raised by several members

Prepare our children to make a better world Between your man-on-the-street column and the eloquent guest editorial from the Mount Si GSA officers, I had to write in.

I was happy to read that three-fourths of the folks you polled regarding your man on the street question “Is high school the right place to talk social issues?” had reasonable responses. It gives me hope that the things so many people I encounter outside of the Valley say about our community are dead wrong.

I want to ask the readers of the Snoqualmie Valley Record: Are we raising children that will be future adult citizens or not? If we don’t teach them—allow them to drive the discussion regarding issues they are already faced with in a school setting—about these issues, we are doing them and our communities a great disservice. By high school, students find themselves in part-time jobs, looking at college options, etc. They are in the world where things like racism, sexism and homophobia, along with too many issues to list here, exist.

They will have to face them.

Do we not, as parents, teachers, and community leaders, make sure they have the critical thinking skills and coping tools to counter these normally based-in-hate social issues?

Yes, we do! We have a duty to provide them with not just algebra problem-solving skills, or the ability to analyze a poem, or even properly operate a computer, but also with the ideals that—especially in America—the rights of all are guaranteed. Personally, I want my children to do the right thing when faced with these social justice issues. I want them to stand up for those who are bullied, discriminated against and generally ostracized because they don’t fit some cookie-cutter American ideal.

I applaud the GSA officers and the more than 150 students who participate in the Day of Silence. Here is an example, in my mind,

where teenagers are being braver than some adults. These brave souls are helping to raise awareness, transcend these social justice issues, and hopefully prepare the way for transforming our society into one where everyone is valued and viewed as equal. For those who find this subject matter upsetting, I will tell you there are LGBTQ students in the school, and their peers know they are there (except for when violence and lack of acceptance make them silent, hence the Day of Silence necessity). We should be talking, discussing, learning, and all should be a part of it.

At one time in our country, the subject of racism was deemed too upsetting. Yet, today we learn about civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. Students can identify Rosa Parks, Gandhi or even Cesar Chavez. But how many students can identify Harvey Milk?

I would proffer that these discussions not only should be done in high school, but they should begin in middle school. It’s time to stop hiding behind silence and “it’s uncomfortable” and start preparing our children to enter the world and be our future (just) leaders.

Tree farm grateful to flood cleanup helpers Mountain Creek Tree Farm and the Kassian family would like to thank the following people who came to our farm on March 17. They helped after Tate Creek flooded, bringing hundreds of tons of sand and gravel onto more than 1,000 Christmas trees on February 22.

Helpers included Mayor Ken Hearing and his wife Marie, Mayor Matt Larson and his wife Jennifer, Venturing Crew 115 and Boy Scout Troop 115 of Snoqualmie, with Kim Ferree and wife Anita; Boy Scout Troop 466 of North Bend; Venturing Crew 954 of Covington with advisor John Hearing; Boy Scout Troop 945 of Covington, and parents of many of the Scouts and Venturing Crews. A special thanks goes to our friend Marie Hearing, who, after seeing the damage, alerted John Hearing. He contacted Kim Ferree, and they organized the work party of Scouts and Venture Crews.

They worked very hard, clearing sand and gravel away from trees as much as three feet deep.

They pushed wheelbarrows full of dirt and covered roots that had been uncovered by the flood, cleaning up around 500 Noble and Turkish firs.

Again, we want to thank all of you who helped.

Your hard work was very much appreciated by this family.

Growing pains Young Mount Si golf team looking strong for the long-term

By Seth Truscott Editor

“Progress is progress.”

So Olivia Doherty tells her teammate Paxton Richardson, watching as the junior’s right-leaning hits improved over the afternoon of April 18 at Mount Si Golf Course.

“I noticed she was hitting really great drives,” said Doherty, playing Interlake in Mount Si’s second flight.

“I wanted her to be positive about it.”

In a young team handling the growing pains of competitive golf, both Doherty and Richardson are among the team’s future leaders.

“It’s great that we’re getting better,” Doherty said.

For such a young team, led by a junior, with no seniors, the 2012 season is shaping up surprisingly strong.

In just the last week, “We’ve gone from a group of individual golfers to a team that is working together,” head coach Brandon Proudfoot said.

“They’re helping each other improve.”

Expectations remain high for the team’s two leaders, Danielle Burns and Tabitha Dorn, who comedaled the April 16 match at Sammamish. The driven junior Burns, seventhranked player in KingCo, is nursing a wrist injury, but sitting out a match is unthinkable. She shot 48 on Wednesday, April 18, at home versus Interlake, and a 49 on Thursday against Liberty.

Senior Sarah McDonald signs papers Wednesday, April 11, at Mount Si High School.

Sarah McDonald signs with UNC-Charlotte

Sarah McDonald, an outside hitter and a core player for the Mount Si volleyball team in the last few years, has made a written commitment to play for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Graduating this spring, she has a full-ride scholarship to play for the team.

McDonald visited Charlotte in February, following her playing with the Kent Juniors Volleyball Club in Las Vegas.

The senior told the Record that she fell in love with the school.

Coaching staff made her feel welcome.

“It’s beautiful, a brand new school,” she said. “It made me feel like home.”

“We are very proud of Sarah and excited about this bright future she has ahead of her,” Mount Si head coach Bonnie Foote said.

A young leader for the Wildcats, Tabitha Dorn fires off a drive during play Wednesday, April 18, at Mount Si Golf Course.

Dorn endured a rough patch Wednesday, with a 54, then got it back in gear with a 45 on Thursday.

Overall, her game is really coming together. The sophomore has shaved six strokes off her average over last year.

Mount Si has two golfexperienced freshmen, and four others who are brand new to the game.

“We’ve got them hitting the ball,” Proudfoot said. “Now, we’re working on getting the ball in the hole. They’re doing really

well, considering they’ve only been playing for five weeks.”

If Proudfoot can do a good job of building a love for the game, and promoting off-season play, by next year Mount Si can expect to field a truly strong girls squad.

“Now they’ve turned the corner, they’re taking it more seriously,” Proudfoot says. “They know what to focus on.”

“We started out rough, but we’re picking up speed,” said Burns.

Dawgs come from behind to claim basketball championship The Sno Valley Dawgs, a group of elementary-age basketball players from the Valley, went up against tough competition and won their division championship this winter.

The Dawgs are made up of a core of eight boys who have played together for three years, plus two from Fall City who played baseball, lacrosse and flag football together.

Undefeated last year, the team moved up to the Olympic Division, which has WIAA rules: backcourt press, double teaming, and zone defenses. The boys went from a no-steal, backcourt defense league last year to a full-on real basketball league. It was a big challenge, but they worked hard to catch up after tough losses, coming together as a team.

searched the home after the fire was out and found a device that appeared to be a pipe bomb. The robot detonated the device, which turned out not to be a threat, West said.

However, Strachan said he was alarmed by the premeditation involved, that someone would try to hide the murders by placing that much gasoline throughout a burning home, considering the threat it would pose to responding firefighters.

Anyone with information on this case, is asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311 or 911.

Ready to help

Spring gives ACE Hardware the chance to share knowledge, bring projects to life

I

t’s not every day that Marty Mattila gets brownies on the job.

But there the customer was, carrying a big plate of brownies for Marty, the Lawn and Garden Manager at North Bend ACE Hardware.

The treats were a nice reward for Marty’s recent effort in stocking up on specialty organic products. But Marty was only doing his job as a helpful member of the hometown hardware store. Brownies “just add to the satisfaction,” he says.

A few years ago, organics made up a small section of the ACE shelves. Today, they’re the bulk of the section. Marty makes a point of putting them out in view, right in front of customers. He knows that his selections will work.

“It’s fun to see success,” he says.

Ready to shine As winter retreats and the sun starts to shine, the staff at North Bend’s ACE Hardware start to change gears.

Shelves are reorganized, ice melt and snow shovels give way to fertilizers, barbecues and outdoor necessities, and the staff gets ready for the big spring projects.

“It’s a change of focus,” says store manager Chris McCartney.

“When the sun comes out, people want to get outside.”

The local hardware store actually starts planning for spring the prior year, ordering goods, attending training sessions and conventions, and boning up on the latest best practices. Their knowledge is put to the test when winter passes, and homeowners’ thoughts turn to backyard tasks, do-it-yourself home improvement, and the perfect lawn or garden.

After two years of cool springs, the onset of a warm season in the Valley means locals are good and ready to get outside and get some work done. Marty is already set with the latest products, including a newly expanded organics section. He made extra room this season for Doctor Earth, a line of soils, supplements and fertilizers.

Chris gives his section managers, like Marty or nursery leader Kitty Holland, the responsibility to select and promote the right products.

Seth Truscott/Staff Photo

The helpful people, North Bend ACE Hardware staff are, from left, Erika, Jen, Martin, Kitty, Dick, Tracy, Kevin, Barb, Frank, Sandy, Niel, Chris and Tina.

“A lot of people meet up here and are happy to see one another,” Kitty says. When a tip or product works, “they pass it on,” she says.

“I trust that they’re going to bring in the right stuff,” he says.

Knowledge base At ACE, that expertise runs throughout the store. Store staff come from industries ranging from contracting and electrical work to lawn care and seed sales. Chris says that translates to a big knowledge base.

“At any time, someone can come in here, with a complex problem, and we’ve got the knowledge to take care of them,” he says. In-store and outside trainings, travel to national conventions and trade shows, all have a hand in keeping staff sharp. A lot of it comes from their background, too.

Folks like Marty and Kitty also have a genuine love of helping customers. For employees of a local hardware store, it’s a prime source of satisfaction.

“What’s really nice is when people have a project they’ve dreamed up, and they come to us,” Kitty says.

ACE staff sometimes have to solve problems and find obscure gear to make those dreams come true.

Besides being a knowledge base, the local ACE is a gathering place.

ACE surprises Besides the breadth of knowledge, ACE Manager Chris says locals might be surprised at the number and variety of products that their local hardware store has on its shelves.

“When I’m full out there, I have 6- to 8,000 plants,” Kitty says. “I look for new and interesting plants, that make this place special. I’m bringing in things that are new to people, all the time. We’ve built up a high reputation for nursery stock.”

Shoppers get it, Marty says. The store’s selections draw people from all over the Eastside.

“We try and carry that thought throughout the store,” Chris says. For example, ACE this year stocked the Craftsman tool line, as a partnership between the hardware chain and Sears.

Be ‘Bear Smart’ at your home Right now, bear-human encounters are on the rise as bears emerge from their winter dens in search of food.

With almost all of Washington state part of ‘black bear country,’ the non-profit Grizzly Bear Outreach Project tells people to take down winter bird feeders and secure trash cans to help keep the hungry bears out of residential areas.

Bears can lose more than half their body weight during winter denning, so upon awakening, they look for the highest nutritional value and protein content for the least expenditure of energy.

People in residential areas can play an important role in reducing encounters by staying well informed and taking four simple steps around the home: • Keep garbage indoors until just before the pick-up service arrives • Remove bird feeders (including hummingbird feeders) during bear season (April through November) • Clean barbeque grills after every use • Keep pet food indoors “It really comes down to humans preventing the problem by not offering the bears a free lunch, either intentionally or unintentionally,” says Rich Beausoleil, Bear and Cougar Specialist with the Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Feeding fourlegged friends Once a month at the Mount Si Helping Hand Food Bank in North Bend, pet-owners can pick up some peace of mind, in the form of a bag of kibble, or some cans of food. The pet food bank, open the first Wednesday of each month at the North Bend food bank, helps about 250 dogs and cats and their owners each month.

Valley Animal Partners, a group of involved pet lovers in the Upper Valley, created the food bank, collects the food and distributes it entirely with volunteer help. The pet food bank is secondary to the group’s mission, but it helps the same groups of people, low-income families, senior citizens, veterans and others who might need help, to care for their pets.

Helping pet owners to spay or neuter their companion animals is the constant goal of VAP, which hosts fundraisers throughout the year for this purpose.

To volunteer for a VAP event, send an e-mail message to info@valleyanimalpartners.com. To make a financial donation, visit the North Bend branch of Bank of America.

To give food for the pet food bank, drop off your donation at: Pet Place Market, 213 Bendigo Blvd., Suite 2; U-Dirty Dog!, 301 W. North Bend Way, Suite E; or Another Hair Place, 113 Bendigo Blvd N. in North Bend.

In a small, fluffy flurry of hooves, wool and inquisitive faces, seven month-old lambs come trotting up Murray and Colleen Peck’s back yard.

The handful of grain is enough to entice the seven Finnsheep lambs, plus their mother Trina, out of their pen. Hungry for a taste treat, they crowd around Colleen, and when the grain is gone, they start their main job, cropping the grass.

The Pecks, Valley residents for more than a decade, are proud of their sheep, for more than just lawn-mowing reasons.

Born one month ago, the seven baby Finns of Snoqualmie are pretty special. Finnsheep are prolific mothers, and Trina’s litter of lambs appears to be tied for the United States record for most lambs born at one time to a single Finn ewe.

“It’s an instant flock,” Colleen Peck said.

Seven R’s

Their home is already a hobby farm alive with animals. Two big dogs, two horses and two cats live alongside the Pecks. Their barn cat, Bendigo, mostly keeps out from underhoof.

The sheep don’t mind him at all, but stare seriously at strangers who come to see the new lambs.

“We’re a cross between pet owners and amateur breeders,” says Colleen. “I always wanted to have a farm.”

The Peck family switched to Finnsheep a few years ago, and have been impressed with the breed’s cleverness and fecundity.

The Pecks’ little flock was born March 25, weighing between three and fiveand-a-half pounds. At the delivery, the Pecks watched, surprised, as the babies kept coming.

While the Finnsheep Breeder’s Association is happy with just a number for each lamb, the Peck family insisted on names for the Snoqualmie seven.

“The rule is, the lambs names’ have to start with the first letter of their father’s name,” Colleen said. So, from ram Rufio, every name starts with ‘R,’ as chosen by Murray and Colleen’s children.

“The girls got named after literary characters,” Colleen said. “We have Rue from ‘The Hunger Games,’

Rowena Ravenclaw from ‘Harry Potter,’ Rebecca from ‘Sunnybrook Farm.’ Three of the boy sheep were named after teachers at Mount Si High School by daughter Tiana.

“I’m sure her teachers would be amused to find that one is Rupert. There’s Ramsayer—how fitting for a sheep—and Rorem.”

The last baby ram ended up going literary, as Roger from ‘Lord of the Flies.’

Finns are smart, Colleen says, even as lambs. They’ve got good wool, because these sheep are smart enough to seek shelter in the rain.

Colleen plans to sell them to other breeders interested in their good qualities. For interested fairgoers, Colleen reports that Trina’s sister won an award for best fleece at the Puyallup Spring Fair.

Finns aren’t judged as show sheep, but on how many babies they raise and how good they are as mothers.

“Nobody will ever give an actu-

Good breed This is Trina’s second litter, having had quadruplets two years ago. Finnsheep are known for their fertility. The breed originated in a land of long summer days and cold, dark winters.

“When the grass come out, you’ve got lots of sheep to eat the forage,” Colleen said. “Come fall, you’ve got a full meat locker and not a lot of sheep to winter over.”

al ribbon,” Colleen said. But in her eyes, Trina is a grand champ.

To hobby farmers interested in sheep, Finns might be for you—if you’re ready for hard work and vet duties.

“You have to like sheep,” Colleen said. “Finns are really good pets. They’re smart, friendly and not as big… If you want wagging tails, in-your-lap kind of friendly, get a dog or cat. But as far as farm animals go, they make really good pets.”

“They’re a lot cuddlier than a cow,” Murray adds.

Who: Marty Mattila, Lawn and Garden/Sporting Goods Manager Years at North Bend ACE: 3 What’s your most commonly asked question?

“For a lot of people, in the spring, the first thing they notice is their lawn. They really want to make their lawn look good. It’s not a tomorrow thing—it takes a couple of weeks, depending on conditions. To get them headed down the right path, all those steps, that’s the main thing.”

What keeps you working here?

“I shopped at this store 10 years before I started working here. From the top down, from the owners to the people you work with, it’s a pleasure. It’s like a big family. Everyone here is a real person.”

“It’s a great partnership between two names that are known for great service,” Chris says.

Kitty often gets repeat customers, relying on her for a special touch.

“There are a lot of people who come in and have me pick out their plants and baskets,” she says. “They say, ‘Wow, it really turned out good. Can you do that again for me?’”

Every time a customer comes back with a success story, be it for the fishing tackle or the fertilizer they purchased, Marty gets a sense of accomplishment. He compares working at a hardware store to being a family member—people rely on him.

“It’s a great feeling,” Marty says.

The personal touch Fall City designer Tami Jones combines beauty, function with owner inspirations

By Seth Truscott Editor

According to Jones, the earlier you involve a professional in a home design project, the more you can save.

“A lot of people, when they try to do it themselves, they spend money and decide they can’t do it, then spend even Wine cave more money to Her design crehave it redone ation, a personalwith a profesized wine cellar sional,” Jones carved from a said. “The earcrawl space in lier a pro can a Woodinville come in, just to TAMI JONES home, has an old get some do-itworld feel with modern ame- yourself help or put together nities and natural materials. a plan to be implemented by The judges wanted to see a designer and a contractor, green techniques along with a total transformation of the space. Jones delivered, working with EB Building Group, one of her go-to contractors, for six months to hollow out the space under a home for a wine grotto, with a flair inspired by the owner’s love of wine.

“This is a mix of old world and California wine country,” Jones said. “It’s a very cozy space that does transport you…. It’s very unique to the homeowner.”

Jones’ goal is always to achieve the look and feel a homeowner wants. After all, it’s not her house.

“My goal is that somebody walks in and enjoys the space,” she said.

Jones has always had an interest in having a beautiful home, but in a cost-effective way.

“That’s a big part of solving problems for the homeowner—how do you get what you can and stay within a budget? Everybody has a budget.

Everybody wants more value.”

you can save a lot in the long run.”

Homeowners first need to understand their budgets. Laying out the financial ground rules before a project, and being honest with a designer about the budget, helps focus a project.

Owners should also create a wish list of their different inspirations for a space.

Jones brings a love of fabric, tile, and material things into her work, but the real reward is the interaction.

“Being able to work with homeowners to create a home, a space they love being in, is a huge honor,” she says.

Tami Jones was working in a high-tech, computer-based job, but she was ready for a change.

Encouraged by friends who knew she had a creative streak, she got hooked on the field of interior design.

Now in her seventh year as a professional, Jones is gaining recognition for her skills in merging clients’ dreams with the realities of a livable space.

“I’m still solving problems for people,” Jones says.

“But instead of a computer, it’s a beautiful kitchen or bedroom.”

Her company, Tami Jones Interior Design, took first place in the Northwest Design Awards competition for her design in the “Best Individual Room: Traditional” category.
