Nearly 20 years ago, the Sno-Valley Senior Center in Carnation launched an adult day care program that evolved into today’s Adult Day Health. Later this year, the center may move to close it down.
On Saturday, the Sno-Valley Senior Center Board will meet to discuss its progress on preserving the struggling, but essential program. A collaboration of the senior center and Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, Adult Day Health provides support, health care, socialization and supervision to frail adult patients four days a week, and much-needed respite for their families and care-givers. It is the only such program in the Valley, or within 20 miles, says program manager Karen Koenig. SEE INDEPENDENCE, 5

The Mount Si Food Bank, which has provided food to the Valley’s needy population for 35 years, has been asked to leave its home of more than a decade at North Bend Community Church. A new organization, the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, started by former management of the Mount Si Food Bank, is slated to take its place at the church’s former parsonage garage. Founded in 1975, Mount Si Food Bank helps more than 400 families each week with food, provides turkeys during the holidays and breakfast lunch for schoolchildren in the summertime.

How Valley schools use technology dollars “Yes! IXL!” It doesn’t really sound like English when a fifth grade student rejoices to hear what the next lesson will be, but it is. It’s also math, and, it seems, a favorite in Snoqualmie Elementary teacher Deva Baruah’s class.

District offers strategic plan for comment
Medium = message when kids oppose bullying Valley students share wisdom in frank talks about bullies BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
All of Opstad Elementary School got involved when trouble came around last fall. The whole school participated in the anti-bullying assembly, “Trouble in Fairytalezania,” by Taproot Theatre, watching the play, laughing at the jokes, summoning a fairy godmother on cue, and taking home the message. Principal Amy Wright, has worked with Taproot Theatre in the past, and knew to expect a positive student response from their show. She was still pleasantly surprised when a group of fourth graders came to her about what they could do to help. They not only got the message, she saw, they also wanted to be a part of it. “They want to have an ally patrol!” Wright said. A what-now? “We basically walk around the playground and make sure that everyone gets along and there’s no bullying at recess,” explained Emma Schuerman, one of the nine fourth-graders who talked to Wright about it. “You could just play, and if you see something, you can call your friends over and say ‘Someone’s getting bullied, let’s go save them!’” added Mia Spaziano, who first suggested the ally patrol. It’s a student-led initiative to keep the environment throughout the school both safe and nice. It’s also proactive, since Opstad doesn’t have much of a problem with bullying. “In this school, it’s usually not fighting,” said James Nye, “but sometimes it will just be words—calling names, or picking on.”
Not just words Mean words were exactly
how the bullying started for another Valley student, 16-year-old Claire Wright, when she was a fourth grader at Fall City Elementary. Now in high school, a veteran of two Miss Washington Jr. Teen pageants and overall winner of the last one, Wright has launched her own antibullying campaign, visiting schools to share her story, and her special stuffed “Bully Bears” with other victims of bullying. “I think I have a better chance at preventing bullying by talking to kids (in fourth and fifth grade) before they get caught up in it in middle school,” she said, after meeting with a group of fifth graders at her old school. The students were interested to hear that she, too, had been a victim, and asked lots of questions about it. She answered them all honestly, but didn’t dwell on it. The focus, after all, was on how she overcame the problem, and how other kids can, too. “If you’re the victim, it’s really important to recognize that you have a lot more power than you realize,” she told them. She found her own power in her family, and in her faith, she said, to put the experience behind her. She also followed the same advice she gave to students, changing her perspective, focusing on the positive things in her life, and getting involved in her school and community. “I worked on developing the tools I needed to prevent this from happening again,” she said. “These tools are what I want to pass on to other kids.”
The R Words Words, it turns out, are one of those tools. As hurtful as they can be when a bully uses them, words are even more helpful for victims. These are, of course, the words children use when they “talk to a trusted adult”

as Wright advises, but there are also three special words, maybe even magical words, that all kids can use. “Recognize, refuse, and report,” the Opstad fourth graders chanted together. “Recognize that someone’s being bullied,” said Nye. “Refuse is saying ‘I’m not going to do this any more, just don’t want to do it,’” said Anna Simmons. “And Report is going and telling the nearest adult that you trust, about what’s going on.” added Siena McDowell. “But make sure it’s an actual adult that you tell,” added Nye, “not like a 14-year-old…” The group erupts in giggles at that, obvi-
ously an inside joke from Fairytalezania, and start listing their favorite parts of the show. “Trouble” is about a girl on a quest to stop a bullying, big, bad wolf and return the magic—and the happy endings—to the land. She picks up some allies along the way, and there is plenty of comedy in the mix. “I’m always going to remember the three little hogs!” one of the students said. “The cats flying up in the air!” added another. “Oh, the lake of fudge! Don’t eat the fudge or you’ll have to stay there!” “The Big Bad Wolf was a girl! And she wasn’t really big or bad, or even a wolf. She was a puppet!”

The Big Bad Wolf actually “wanted a story of her own instead of being the bad character in the stories,” explained Schuerman. “she wanted to be the good guy, because she actually was bullied when she was little.” The serious note came back in a hurry when the students were asked if they could, in fact, recognize, refuse and report. “Yes, but I know I’d be nervous!” said Schuerman, after some thought. Tyler Barber, though, had the answer, for all of them. “The way that they stand up to them in the play are allies,” he said. “People with you to help you stand up to the bullies.”

Snoqualmie Valley School District’s board of directors recently approved a draft of the district’s five-year strategic plan, and will present it for public feedback at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, at Mount Si High School. The plan has been in development since earlier this school year, beginning with the board and Superintendent meeting to identify overall direction and establish goals toward accomplishing the vision. In the second phase, key staff members developed an action plan. Now in the third phase, the plan will go to the public for review and comment, before it is finalized in February. The plan is intended to be a working document, revisited regularly and updated each year.

Peaks’ wild windows Staff at Peak Sports and Spine in Snoqualmie show their Seahawks team spirit last week with a message in their second floor windows.
Seahawks’ Joker Don Baunsgard is the Joker of Seahawks fans, celebrating their win over San Francisco at a tailgate party. “I do believe the Seahawks have a very good chance of winning the Super Bowl, for a couple reasons,” Baunsgard told the Record. “They have a sincere drive and will within them to win.”
FOOD BANK FROM 1 That faith, according to Salmon, specifically the desire by the association to rely on donations specifically for faith-based organizations, as opposed to taking a wider approach, was part of the basis of the split between management and the association last fall. “There are significant monies that we say ‘no’ to in an effort to remain faith based,” Salmon stated. “This has worked for us for all these years and we see no reason to deny our faith.” Both the Mount Si Food Bank and the new Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank made proposals to North Bend Community Church for use of the facility. “We chose the one who we thought could serve the clients best,” Harold Erland, an elder on the North Bend Community Church leadership ministry team, told the Record. Mount Si will move out on Wednesday, Jan. 29. “Clients and donors need to know that we are not closing our doors, just relocating,” Mount Si Food Bank transition team leader Marilyn Erlitz told the Record in an e-mail. She said staff told clients to take what they need for two weeks. “We are in the process of working out some accommodations for those in need for the coming week,” she said in an e-mail. “At this moment we do not have a new destination, but are in contact with those who can assist us in a new dwelling. Our mission is to continue to serve the community we have been serving for 30-plus years.” “If the community knows of such a place we would be open to looking at it,” added Salmon. He told the Record that all assets of the Mount Si Food Bank will follow it. “All funds and resources (are) well accounted for, and the books are open for anyone to see, with the exception of individual donations that people want to be kept confidential, but all balances and expenses are available for anyone who cares or has been led to think money has been misappropriated or misused,” he stated. The food bank’s approach has served the Valley effectively for many years, says Salmon, and will continue to do so. “Our heart is to share God’s love with people in need through food and compassion,” he told the Record. “If a new group feels the need to serve in a similar way, that is fine with me,” he stated. “God bless anyone who reaches out to those in need.” The Mount Si food bank’s webpage is mtsifoodbank.org.
New food bank In an open letter Friday, Jan. 24 (see page 7), Heidi Dukich, former manager of Mount Si Food Bank, announced the new organization, Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank. This food bank is slated to open Wednesday, Feb. 5, at Mount Si’s longtime location, 122 E. 3rd St. in North Bend. The name of the food bank is new, but much of the set-up is the same. Distribution is 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, the same hours as Mount Si. In addition to food, the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank will offer access to child care, energy assistance, health care and other services.The group is currently seeking tax exempt status. Mount Si food bank’s board of directors resigned as a group this past fall, due to disagreements with the ministerial association over the food bank’s direction. Dukich followed a few days later. “It was time for a change,” Dukich said. Board members, most of whom, with her, went on to form the new food bank, saw an opportunity to form an “all-inclusive food bank… It’s about the entire community, working together… working with churches, schools, local businesses,” she told the Record. “It will take time to build up again, but we’ll be better for it,” Dukich said. “When you have vision, people want to help. We have a wonderful community of people who know and support our work.” The food bank website is www.snoqualmievalleyfoodbank.org.

Mount Si's Charlie Kinnune is Coach of Year Mount Si High School football coach Charlie Kinnune picked up the WIAA District 2 Coach of the Year award for the 2013 season. He received the honor while attending the Washington State Coaches Association Awards Dinner, Friday, Jan. 24, in Everett, accompanied by Mount Si Athletic Director Greg Hart. "I have never considered a coach of the year award to be a personal award. I consider it to be a program award," Kinnune said of the recognition. "With this award my fellow coaches are saying that our program was the top program this season." Kinnune has helmed Mount Si’s football program for 22 years of his 30-year coaching career. He coached at Western Washington University from 1984 to 1986 and for Kentridge High School from 1987 to 1991. "A strong football program consists of great athletes, supportive administrators, positively involved parents and good athletic facilities. Mount Si High School has all four elements," stated Kinnune. He thanked Hart for his continued support for the student athletes at Mount Si, as well as his coaching staff for their years of hard work. "We have a great group of coaches who work well with kids and encourage their development to become as good as they can become," Kinnune stated.
The score was lopsided, but the Mount Si girls never gave up. The Wildcat varsity team skews young, yet has a lot of heart even in a season that has seen few wins. But the score didn’t make a difference in the team’s attitude last Wednesday, Jan. 22, when, down in a road game, the girls scrapped for balls with a physical Mercer Island team down to the last buzzer. “We’re fighting to prove that we can do it,” said senior Kylie McLaughlin. “People remember a team that doesn’t ever give up. We’d like to be that team.” On Wednesday night, she, Camryn Buck, Hayden Frederick, Elizabeth Prewitt and Annie Heibert could be seen battling through a sea of waving arms and tall foes. While Wildcat shots didn’t always go in, plenty of attempts were made. Mount Si put up 24 points to Mercer’s 71. Freshman guard Frederick scored five points for Mount Si, as did junior forward Prewitt. Freshman wing Mady Privatsky had three points. Adding two apiece were sophomore guard Buck, sophomore post Hiebert, senior post Sally Nelson, freshman guard Emma Smith and freshman post Scout Turner. Sophomore wing Makayla Turpin sank a free throw. McLaughlin watched the score, but for her, it’s the way the Wildcats are playing that’s more important. “If we’re giving all we’ve got, that’s what matters.” When the team gets behind, passes can get sloppy. She tries to make sure that, “if someone’s down, we help them, and keep encouraging each other.”
McLaughlin, among those initiating plays from center court, keeps an eye out for whoever’s ready to get the ball. On Wednesday, though, Mercer was beating Mount Si on defense, getting past the Wildcats’ screens and blocking their shots. “We always have one rough quarter, that’s not that great,” McLaughlin said. “We know we can be better than we, are, so we keep pushing.” She sees herself as setting the tone, and ensuring that everyone feels included. “We all love each other and we’re all really close,” said Frederick. “There are moments where the intensity drops. But we all have talent, we all know we can work to our best. We just have to have that confidence.” In her role as a point and shooting guard, “I try my best to hustle, to set an example,” Frederick said. “I don’t want to have them feel like I’m not doing my best when they’re doing their best.” She shouted out freshman Scout Turner, who “did an awesome job at rebounding and going at it hard. Elizabeth posted awesome as always.” Going forward, “I really want to see the team put everything together and have one really successful game, all four quarters,” Prewitt told the Record. “We had it down in California,” where Mount Si won games in a high school tournament. Things were working and flowing, Prewitt said. She wants that energy back. Mount Si is loaded with freshmen this year, who have earned praise from older players. “I remember being a freshman, coming in on varsity,” Prewitt said. “It’s intimidating. Speed is much faster, girls are bigger, stronger. The shots you get in JV or select are not there. It’s not just the physical thing, but the mindset. You have to be aware of the game. “They’ve been able to handle that really well. As they get experience, continue through the program, they can really be successful,” she added. • The Mount Si girls plays Interlake, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29.

The best of both worlds Super Bowl XLVIII features the NFL’s No. 1 offense against its No. 1 defense BY JOHN BOYLE Of the Everett Herald
While most of America spent the day after the NFC Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s postgame antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already immersed in film study. “With Peyton,” Sherman said. “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.” When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend. All season, this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-yearold Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season. Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points (14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the passhappy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time. So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the game-clinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object. “We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way.

Junior forward Chase Cardon added 10 points, including two long bombs, and had three steals. Junior forward Alex Paulson nailed three three-point field goals, four rebounds and two assists. Andrew Gutmann put up seven, Chad Klingenberg had four points and four blocks. Nick Peden and Austin Paxman each had three, Kyle Walsh and Adam Davenport had a bucket each.
SEAHAWKS FROM 4 “You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.” And there is no arguing that this is a bestvs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries, established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a prototypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat. So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them. “They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be fine.”
Best pass defense in league Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin. Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. The Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. The website FootballPerspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjusted net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have
INDEPENDENCE FROM 1 It is also running at a deficit, of about $30,000 a year for the past two years, said Amara Oden, senior center executive director, due partly to declining enrollment, partly to shrinking funding from other sources. Two years ago, “the senior center ended the year with some surplus and we were able to cover this deficit,” Oden said. However, the center ended 2013 with a deficit of its own, and couldn’t cover the ADH shortfall. “We will draw down on our emergency reserves to pay for this deficit, drawing our Center reserves far too low for an organization our size. We cannot financially support another $30,000 deficit….” For the program to continue, it must become more self-supporting through reliable funding, increased enrollment, developing program scholarships and recruiting more committed volunteers. These are the criteria the center board is working on and will review progress on at their next meeting.
Funding falls flat Outside funding has dwindled for the program lately. King County’s support of the program stopped about four years ago, Oden said, and state agency funding has also dropped over time. Koenig said these decreases have had a twofold effect, reducing both the immethe fourth-best pass defense since 1950, behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Minnesota and the 1970 Vikings. Those ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the ’88 Vikings. Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense. But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.” “Nobody has ever taken more command of the game than he has at this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.” One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have this season. The Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarterback who through years of experience has learned precisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it. The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers, pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos offense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense. “We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pressure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for. We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

Participants are asked to pay $70 per day, which covers only part of the cost, Koenig said. Last year, Adult Day Health cost $161,000 to operate, not including the salaries of the two program nurses, which the hospital provides. “That’s a good relationship there, because we’re helping people stay out of the hospital,” Koenig added. Funding can also come from community members, who are being asked to make a three-year pledge to support the program. “We are appealing to our community to keep this program here, so it’s here when people need it,” Koenig said. “What we’re asking for is one-time donations… or a three-year pledge, of any amount, really, so we know that our program can be sustained.”
Pledge goals The goal of the pledge drive is $55,000 per year for the next three years. Enrollment has dropped — the program can serve up to 22 people each day, and needs an average of 12, but has been serving fewer
than that. “Our max is 12 per day,” said Koenig. “Our numbers have dropped in the past couple of years because of the lack of referrals and the lack of funding, but we’re starting to build back up again. We just need to get over this hump so we can be sustainable.” The center has also started “advertising” the program more broadly. In a November letter to senior center members, board president Philip Koziol described contacting other ADH programs, the start of a caregiver support group, grant applications, flyers and other community outreach efforts to spread the word about the program. “Unfortunately though, we have not seen increased enrollments from these efforts and without change, we estimate that we would have to close the program at the end of March 2014,” Koziol wrote. The board has set a goal of raising $10,000 in donations for program scholarships as well, because the program is so expensive. “We get a small amount of funding ($32 to $72 per day) that helps qualified participants pay for the program,” explained Oden. “Of course, many participants don’t qualify for the funding, or need more days than are allocated to them.” Scholarships, provided by local business and community donors, can help both families and patients who need the help, and the program which needs the enrollment numbers. Finally, the program, alway looking for volunteers, is hoping to recruit several for longerterm commitments, in an effort to save further costs. That’s not the only reason, though, says Koenig. “We do rely on volunteers,” she said. “They make our program richer, they help us offer better individualized care. And they have a really good time!” Volunteers are needed for three-hour shifts of helping with the various program activities. They won’t have any medical duties, Koenig said, but will instead be there “guide the people to be able to focus on the activity, round out the conversation, encourage people to participate…. Someone with dementia might get a little anxious, and if we have a volunteer that can spend a little one-on-one time with them, their day can be enriched, as well.” To find out more, to volunteer, or to make a pledge, visit www.snovalleysenior.org.

Bullying needs to stop. Here’s how

Listen, focus and work with your kids, school partners to end a needless growing pain
I
t’s inspiring to see how local youth, like the Opstad students described on page 2, are taking a stand against bullying, and more importantly, showing others how to react and stop it. Parents, other children and local educators should take note of what these kids are doing. At the same time, we should all educate ourselves about how to stop bullying before it gets serious. According to StopBullying.gov, a special website hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, it’s important to never tell a child to ignore the bullying. Do not blame the child for being bullied. Even if he or she may have provoked it, no one deserves to be bullied. Other tips for stopping SETH TRUSCOTT bullies include: Valley Record Editor • Listen and focus on the child. Learn what’s been going on and show you want to help. • Know that kids who are bullied may struggle with talking about it. Consider referring them to a school counselor, psychologist, or other mental health service. • Give advice about what to do. This may involve role-playing and thinking through how the child might react if the bullying occurs again. • Ask the child being bullied what can be done to make him or her feel safe. Changes to a child’s routine should be minimal. For example, consider rearranging classroom or bus seating plans for everyone. If bigger moves are necessary, such as switching classrooms or bus routes, the child who is bullied should not be forced to change. • Develop a game plan, and maintain open communication between schools, organizations, and parents. Discuss the steps that are taken and the limitations around what can be done based on policies and laws. Remember, the law does not allow school personnel to discuss discipline, consequences, or services given to other children. • Do not tell the child to physically fight back against the kid who is bullying. It could get the child hurt, suspended or expelled. • Parents should resist the urge to contact the other parents involved. It may make matters worse. School or other officials can act as mediators between parents. • Be persistent. Bullying may not end overnight. Commit to making it stop and consistently support the bullied child. Most kids have probably experienced the misery and frustration of bullying on the playground, field or sidewalk, or inside or outside of school. But if we all do our part to be sensitive, open to working together and treating others the same way we’d like to be treated, we can put an end to this particular kind of growing pain. • Snoqualmie Valley School District has its definitions, policies and other useful information on bullying available online at http://www. svsd410.org/ under “Parents and Community.”

PAST This week in Valley history
Thursday, Jan. 26, 1989
“I’m just happy they’re here. I had a bunch of trees stolen this year, and the county came right out and helped me. The county officers have been very professional.” Roger Thorson Carnation
“Not speeding! I feel like this town is a revenue trap for them. We have transient problems in this town, and we have drug problems. Focus less on making money and more on community issues.” Zach Schomler Carnation
• Michael Taggares plans to develop a winery at the intersection of SR 202 and Meadowbrook Way, the site of the former Casperson Union 76 gas station. • The Old Honey Farm Country Inn on 384th in Snoqualmie is going up roughly on schedule. The 10-room inn, styled after those in owner Conrad Potter’s New Hampshire, should be open by the end of March.

“I have heard about a couple of break-ins. They should definitely keep the safety of citizens high, so they don’t have to worry about their homes getting broken into.” Linda Starfire Stillwater
“I’m really happy that they’re at the school every morning. It’s great to have that presence. What more could they do? Maybe track down whoever’s stealing all these bikes!” Cilya Johnson Carnation
• Members of the Emery Maupin family narrowly escaped with their lives and lost all their belongings when fire raced through their rented home on the North Fork Road Wednesday evening, Jan. 22. Maupin, who works nights at Weyerhauser, was home to lunch when the fire broke out in the utility room. Mrs. Maupin, carrying her year-old daughter, ran to safety while her husband rushed upstairs to rescue their sleeping sons, 2 and 3 years old.

Levies are for day-to-day needs
Please make the effort and vote in favor of the Educational Programs and Technology levies for the Snoqualmie Valley School District. Ballots are already arriving and the deadline for mailing them back is Tuesday, Feb. 11. It is important to understand that these levies have nothing to do with any bonds or the conversation the district is engaged in about school buildings and bonds. These levies provide money to fund the day-to-day operations and services provided by the school district and its fine staff. While the amounts are higher than the current levies passed by voters in 2010, they are replacements for these levies. If these levies do not pass, nearly one quarter of the funding the district receives to operate our schools will go away. This would be devastating to our district, its staff and teachers, and our kids who deserve adequately funded and inspirational schools. The Riverview School District also has replacement levies on the ballot if you live in the Lower Valley. Mark Joselyn North Bend
Levies are critical for maintaining our schools As current and former members of the Snoqualmie Valley School District Board of Directors, we are united in our endorsement of the measures being placed before voters on the February

It represents 24 percent of the district’s day-to-day operating budget. Washington state does not fully fund K-12 education, therefore, we must provide additional local funding to sustain basic education programs and services for students. The Technology Levy will also renew an expiring levy and provide students and staff technology equipment, support, training, and additional learning opportunities in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). This levy is imperative since Washington state does not fund technology in our schools. School districts throughout the Puget Sound region are running similar levies at this time, as they are an indispensable element of school funding. These measures are essential to maintaining our excellent schools and staff. We’re fortunate our community understands this and has strongly supported our schools in past elections. We urge you to join us in voting yes on both measures on the February 11 ballot.

Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank’s statement of principles We are pleased to announce a new community organization, started by neighbors for neighbors. The Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank is a new, community-based organization dedicated to providing food and key resources to help our neighbors and our community thrive. For many, access to food and key resources can be a challenge. Supplemental support, or as we refer to it, a hand-up can be critical to someone’s well-being. That is why we are excited to bring the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank to our community—to serve all of our neighbors in Snoqualmie Valley (including Preston, Snoqualmie, North Bend and Fall City areas), when they need it, where they need it. This new, inclusive food bank will be operating from our location at 122 E. Third St. in North Bend (next to the North Bend Library) and will be distributing food every Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Founded on the belief that the health of our community is dependent on the well-being of those that live in it, the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank has established three guiding principles to serving its clients: • To be a helpful, inclusive resource to our neighbors when they need a hand up. • To be a safe place to get food and other helpful resources. • To treat all clients with respect and care. The food bank will be open February 5, and provide an assortment of nutritious groceries clients can choose from. This shopping model concept will allow our clients the independence and flexibility they deserve when seeking supplemental food support. In addition to providing access to food, the SVFB will offer access to other resources such as Department of Health and Social Services and King County Department of Health (access to child care, energy assistance, health care and other services). Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank is an organization run by neighbors, for our neighbors. We are actively seeking corporate and personal donations, as well as individuals who are interested in supporting this new organization. We understand there are many organizations for you to support, both in time and in donations. Our committed board has established three guiding principles for donations and ongoing support of the SVFB: • All funds donated to SVFB will be used to support our mission of providing food and resources to our neighbors. • Experience drives efficiencies; our team is experienced so we know how to make donations go far and operations to run smoothly. • Dedication to our cause drives our actions; we are dedicated to making a direct impact in the lives of our neighbors. We invite you and all members of our community to learn more about us. Please feel free to stop by during our hours of operation or learn more at www.snoqualmievalleyfoodbank.org.

Horse Liniment Erases Pain
HIALEAH, FL – An ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse legs is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended clinical strength formula. According to a national drug survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back under the trade name ARTH ARREST and
says it can relieve pain for millions. ARTH ARREST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. Considered a medical miracle by some, ARTH ARREST is useful in the treatment of a variety of painful disorders. ARTH ARREST is available without a prescription or call 877-581-1502. Now at:

As the project is making improvements to existing development (i.e. a portion of the downtown corridor) already in
the floodplain, there are no alternatives that can relocate the proposal. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the City of Snoqualmie, 38624 SE River Street, Snoqualmie, WA 98065 office where the ERR can be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M. to 5 P.M.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Snoqualmie certifies to HUD that Matthew Larson in his capacity as the Mayor of the City of Snoqualmie consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the City of Snoqualmie to use Program funds. OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Snoqualmie’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the RE (b) the RE has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to HUD, Debbie Peavler-Stewart, at 909 First Avenue, Suite 255, Seattle, WA 98104. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Published in the Snoqualmie Valley Record on January 29, 2014.

Meet the people who make the Valley work
Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce We exists for one reason – To help the communities of The Valley thrive.
T
his week sees the return of our popular Spotlight on Business section. It is an annual yearbook of Valley businesses, and it also shines a spotlight on the people who work behind the counters, windows, cubicles and corner offices of our businesses. Spotlight also underscores how we here in the Valley are all connected. The smiling people on these pages are the owners, managers and employees who keep our communities running and working every day. With only ‘three degees of separation’ here in the Valley, most of the people on these pages are probably your neighbors, friends or relatives. Chances are that your families attended school together. They are your community. We hope you enjoy this tour of local business. As we must all support each other, the next time you need a certain product or service, please take the next step and visit one of our Spotlight advertisers, see what they have to offer and better get to know their faces and their businesses.
Nate, Lizzy, Kaylee
We do this by: • Providing networking opportunities for our local businesses • Offering business education opportunities • Marketing The Snoqualmie Valley to the outside world • Working with local and state government to make sure businesses can succeed • Producing events for the communities
Our staff is here to help! Member Services Manager Kaylee Hardman can help you utilize our fantastic website, answer community questions, help you publicize your event – and much more! Our Director of Events and Membership, Lizzy Billington is happy to chat with you about the benefits of membership or about one of our great community events that brings activity to our Valley. Nate Perea is the CEO and for 2014 he is focused on exploring new ways that The Chamber can support this amazing region. Please reach out to any of us with questions or ideas!”

Tall orders Snoqualmie woman turns family dilemma into growing online clothes business BY SETH TRUSCOTT
E
Editor
ighteen boxes of Andrea Williamson’s shirts and pants are lined up along a wall, ready to ship. Windows look out on timberland at her home near the old Snoqualmie Falls mill site. Sewing machines, patterns, a rack of prototype clothes and a file cabinet full of fabric samples are near at hand. Every tee and pair of sweatpants is marked with the logo of Williamson’s business, Altus Menswear, a clothing line and online retail business that she founded in 2011. This month marks a year since she went full time, and Williamson, titled President and Director of Design has proved to herself that her business plan—an online shop for the tall and the very tall—is paying off. “When I was in high school, I wanted to be a fashion designer,” said Williamson, who has sewn since age 8. Instead, she followed another interest, landscape architecture, and was working toward a degree around the same time she founded Altus. The word is Latin, and means “high” or “lofty.” It was family that brought fashion back to the forefront. Her husband, Phil, stands six feet, four inches tall, and Williamson made his shirts for him throughout their marriage. Their son, Carter, grew taller than dad, and at six feet, eight inches, he has had a hard time finding clothes that fit. Shirts and pants that are tall enough were often fitted for a much bulkier man. The idea for Altus was sparked after a frustrating trip to the city to find a tuxedo for Carter. The only tall shirts left on the shelf were extra-large and above. “Traditional ‘big and tall’ stores are focused on the ‘big’ rather than ‘tall’,” Williamson said. Finding tees and sweatpants for Carter were even harder. So, those casual knits are Altus’ focus, aimed at an American market of two million men above six-footthree. Button-down shirts are coming soon, but for now, sweatpants are her biggest seller. She holds up a pair, fit for her son. They come up to her chest. Altus focuses on men who are tall and slim, six-foot-three and up, selling four sizes: Tall Large, Tall Extra-Large, ExtraTall Large and Extra-Tall Extra-Large.
Lessons learned Since founding the business, “it’s been a huge learning curve,” Williamson said. “At first, I thought I was going to make the products myself,” but discovered it’s much more efficient to go with an experienced manufacturer in Auburn. A lot of learning came on the technical side—handling patterns, fits and process.

Snoqualmie resident Andrea Williamson, who founded Altus Menswear, (new logo, below left) is seeing her online retailer, aimed at tall guys like Carter, take off. When she began, she started with a pattern, then chose a fabric and tried to make it work with the pattern. The reverse is easier, so now, she starts with the fabric. This is how professional fashion designers work, Williamson explains. One file cabinet in her workroom is full of swatches. “I go through them, we look at the colors, we feel them,” and if she decides it might make a good T-shirt, she orders a sample, then works with the pattern maker to adjust size. Introducing new clothes into her line is a slow process that takes a lot of time, money and collaboration. “I want to increase to more products, but I want to do it slowly,” Williamson said.

“We hope to someday have portable display equipment and signage so we can do temporary pop-up stores if we see the need,” she said. She’s relied on a few fit models, but her main model is her son—he’s the one showcasing her clothing on the webpage. Carter is a reluctant model, but he’s doing his part for what has always been a family business. Williamson got some of her best feedback from former Seattle Sounders soccer player Michael Gspurning. She and Phil met the six-foot-five goalkeeper, who is an Austrian native, at a Bellevue fashion show last fall. He tried their clothes and gave much-appreciated advice. This winter, Altus is launching its European Slim fit, designed with the keeper’s help. Williamson’s business is growing. December was a big month, as was January, and Altus sold clothes all over the United Stated and Europe. Most sales come through online searches. “Since starting this, all kinds of people are sending me their stories,” Williamson said.
Like her son, they’ve always had a tough time finding tall clothes. It’s been satisfying for her to see the customer response, and learn that her decision to start the business is paying off. “If you don’t know somebody who needs that size, (you) have hard time understanding why,” she said. “For me, to spend $30 on a tee—if it’s going to fit, and he’s going to wear

TECH LEVY FROM 1 A big reason for that is simply the technology behind it, most of it funded from the 2010 tech levy that is up for renewal on the February ballot. Although Baruah doesn’t have enough computers for every student all the time, she does get access to a computer cart — computers on wheels — a few times a week that means every one of her students can use one. And about once a week, students can use the computers for math.

Bring your own device Kecse-Nagy started using Google Drive after taking a class on it last year, as part of the Snoqualmie Valley School District’s ongoing professional development. “This is the thing that was missing,” she said, “Before I couldn’t get to my stuff, because it was all on different computers, but now, I can see it, no matter what device I’m using.” That’s the key, says Smith, that it works with any device. It has to, since the district has been allowing students to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to school, on a building-by-building basis. BYOD is an alternative to the one-to-one computing initiative — buying a computer for each student — that some area districts are following, and one that Snoqualmie Valley is considered a leader in. Jeff Hogan, Executive Director of Instructional Technology for the district, has been asked by several area school districts to give presentations on how he handles BYOD. The students are on-board. A technology survey last spring found that about 80 percent of district students wanted to bring their mobile devices to school, and in many cases, had already been doing that.
Hunter Abbott-Heutmaker, for example, uses her new Surface in most classes, except culinary arts. “I type my notes in Word and save them to Google Drive,” she said. But she also has a phone, which goes with her everywhere. “The kids are just like adults, they always have their phone with them, and when the notification goes off, they check it,” said Kecse-Nagy. Her adoption of BYOD in her classroom was just a logical progression, she said, since the students already had their devices. Kecse-Nagy capitalizes on that tendency, with learning tools like Quizlet. Student Tyler Smith demonstrates the flashcard app on his iPhone, saying “It’s really useful, for things like if you’re in between classes, and you forgot to study for something.” Behind Tyler, Matthew Griffin is searching the website on his Android phone. Other students are using district-supplied Chromebooks, iPads, and other tablets, part of the 2,000 devices purchased as part of the 2010 tech levy. The variety of devices in the classroom reflects the district’s “device-agnostic” approach to tablets, phones, and other mobile devices, says Hogan. “We’re still a Windows shop in our back office…” but for anything student-facing, “...things are changing so fast, I don’t want to be completely wedded to one device… two or three years from now, there’s going to be the next best thing.” For the district, the next big thing now is renewing the tech levy, which will be used to replace aging computers (on a five- or six-year rotation), buy new and replacement mobile devices for students and teachers, and, the biggest component of the levy, provide professional development and support. “Professional development is key, along with support,” says TOSA Gayle Smith, whose job is to help teachers incorporate technology, and assess their abilities. “It makes no sense to put technology in the hands of the teachers unless you do those things.” The district provides ongoing professional development with tech training one Friday each month, as well as three annual multiday training sessions. Smith and two other TOSAs lead much of the training, in addition to their work supporting teachers and technology throughout the district. Snoqualmie Valley School District’s technology levy, if approved, will generate about $2.7 million annually for the next four years. The estimated cost to taxpayers is $0.47 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Find out more about the levy at www. svsd410.org.

own tablet, or their phones, and had entered the answers in a worksheet on Google Drive. This “cloud-based” technology allows students and teachers alike to share documents like vocabulary lists, with a few extras that Kecse-Nagy appreciates, like a feature that exports all students’ homework answers to a spreadsheet that gives her an overview of how each student is doing.

IXL is part of the district’s math curriculum. It includes instructional videos and review exercises to help students learn the lessons and then test their knowledge. “It gives them immediate feedback on whether they got the problem right or not, which is helpful,” Baruah said. For some students, IXL lessons mean working with a sheet of scratch paper, and sometimes a friend to calculate the answer before they enter it on the computer — or phone, iPad, or Surface. For others, like Haley Workman, it means putting on their headphones, turning up the music, and concentrating on the exercises. “Many students use their iPods to listen to music while doing the assignment,” Baruah said, “It seems to help many of them focus.” For the rest of the week, technology plays a slightly smaller part. Baruah goes through math lessons on the ActiveBoard, and students can interact with their handheld ActiveExpressions devices. Also before each lesson, students use ActiveExpressions to do a review exercise of the previous day’s lesson. Again, they get immediate feedback, plus Baruah gets the information, color coded, “so I can quickly see if they understood or not and who to help.” ActiveBoards and ActiveExpressions are rare examples of an “old” technology—Gayle Smith, now a Teacher on Special Assignment (TOSA), remembered ordering them for the first time more than four years ago when she taught math at the high school -- that hasn’t become obsolete. The boards project information that both teachers and students can work with, either through a stylus, or with the Active Expressions. Recently in Edina Kecse-Nagy’s German 300 class, the ActiveBoard displayed a German tourism site, and students used the stylus to move through the site to find the answer to one of the lesson questions. As one student drifted to the bottom of the page, fellow students made warning noises to let him know he was off track. Most of them had already found the answer, either on netbooks in the classroom, their
