Fatal truck found in New Year’s hit-andrun

No sign of missing Mount Si skydiver

By Valley Record Staff

Four days and nearly 4,000 manhours into a search and rescue effort, King County officials called off the search for a missing skydiver Sunday evening.

Police have located the vehicle, but not the driver, that was involved in the January 1 death of a North Bend woman. The victim, identified by the King County Medical Examiner as 57-year-old Lucinda Fisher, was killed by an apparent hit-andrun around 3 a.m. King County Sheriff spokesperson Sgt. Cindi West reported finding the vehicle at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 2, but said there was no suspect named as of press time. The white full-size pickup had some front-end damage and was missing a headlight. Damage was consistent with debris found at the site of the accident. On New Year’s Day, Fisher and her companions were driving just east of the Snoqualmie Casino after a night out, when an argument began. Fisher and the male driver got out of the car and began walking in opposite directions on 394th Place Southeast, north of North Bend Way. See hit-and-run, 19

At the foot of a just-carved wedding gift to their tribal family, engaged couple Bob Antone and Laura Williams share a kiss. Antone, a North Bend woodcarver, worked the legends of Laura’s Dené tribe, in Canada’s Northwest Territories, into the 500-pound cedar story pole. Antone and Williams will marry in May.

The wedding gift weighs 500 pounds and is sitting in Bob Antone’s driveway, where any passer-by is welcome to take a gander.

Remembering a Fall City original Jack Kelley, who set the record straight about Fall City, dies at 83 By Seth Truscott Editor

This gift is a 15-foot wooden story pole, carved by hand, and it’s not a present to the bride and groom, but a gift from them. Antone created it for his future in-laws and their entire community, a small town 1,500 miles north of here. Antone, a 38-year-old Valley craftsman and musician, created the pole to represent the origin stories of the Dené people, a Native American tribe who live in Canada’s Northwest Territories.

Jack Kelley, a man who brought Fall City’s history to light and helped create its present infrastructure, has died at age 83. Born on December jack kelley 26, 1929, young Jack Elnathan Kelley was raised in Fall City, where he grew up absorbing the stories of this small, unincorprated King County community.
