Mulling the bond School board considers purpose of next voter request

They made a unanimous commitment in February to bring a bond to their voters, but the Snoqualmie Valley School Board is not yet unanimous on the purpose of that bond. So far, the only thing the board fully agrees on is the need for each member to publicly support it. “We need to evaluate what is on the bond for February,” President Dan Popp said at a May 24 work session, adding that “a unanimous and concerted effort from our board is just a natural prerequisite” to passage.

Work of his hands Craftsman Don Norman is Fall City Days marshal By Seth Truscott Editor
The cherry-wood cases are freshly stained, curing in a row, and other pieces of Don Norman’s latest big project, a custom kitchen island for a Lake Stevens home, are lined up nearby. He’s set to deliver them today to the job site. Once this is done, doubtless another project will come up, like that long-delayed kitchen table restoration waiting near the door. These woodworking jobs would provide a fun challenge for a man
20 or 30 years Don’s junior. Yet, one might be surprised that a man of 82 is still this involved in the woodworking business. Then again, that’s Don’s way. His wife Barbara would love to see her husband hang up the business—“I’d rather he retired and did the yard,” she says. But Don loves the smell of sawdust. His adult life, and a good part of his teens, were spent in and around woodshops. After more than six decades, he still finds satisfaction in something crafted with his own hands and tools.

An early morning car crash in Olympia on Saturday, June 2, resulted in the arrest of one person linked to a North Bend theft that occurred just a few hours earlier. The car, a 2001 green Honda Odyssey, was the subject of a pursuit by Washington State Patrolmen around 6 a.m. that Saturday. When the vehicle crashed, both the driver and passenger fled, but police used a search dog to locate the passenger of the vehicle. The car was stolen from a residence in the 400 block of Southeast 12th Place in North Bend, along with several items from the home. The thieves are believed to have entered the home through an unlocked sliding-glass door, then taken the car keys and other items.
