Sister and brother Emily and Jack Lindsay of North Bend, ages 6 and 5, share their goodies following the North Bend Moose Lodge Easter egg hunt, Saturday, April 19, at Si View Park. Jack didn’t find as many eggs as his sister—“he got run over,” explained mom Sarah—so Emily gave him some of her haul. See more Valley Easter hunt photos on page 15.

Crowdfunding to save the Fork

Stillwater Elementary locked down as precaution

Police activity at nearby Lake Marcel has prompted a modified lockdown at Stillwater Elementary School Monday, April 21.

The lockdown was implemented out of an abundance of caution, said a King County Sheriff’s spokesperson, but there was no threat at the school. Deputies were responding to a domestic violence incident in a nearby home.

Argument turns to stabbing Dispute at North Bend apartment turns violent, injuries are light Two men were hospitalized Tuesday night, April 15, after an argument turned physical in North Bend, one with a stab wound, the other with injuries sustained while attacking the other. None of the injuries were life-threatening, said Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist.

“Everybody’s alive,” he reported to the North Bend City Council, where he was already scheduled to speak.

The incident occurred just before 7 p.m. outside an apartment building in the 200 block of Sydney Avenue North, he said. Two adult brothers, estimated to be in their 20s, met with a building tenant, estimated to be in his 50s, and an argument began. According to witnesses, “It was just opinions,” Almquist said.

He did not believe that drugs were a part of the argument.

When the discussion became heated, the tenant reportedly used a folding knife to stab one of the visiting brothers. He was also injured in the fight.

The Snoqualmie Fire Department responded to provide medical aid and transport to both victims, and the assailant was arrested. He could be charged with assault, first-degree, a Class A felony, which has a maximum punishment of up to life in prison, a fine of up to $50,000, or both.

Every year, thousands of hikers, kayakers, anglers, bikers and campers visit the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River. They come for the recreation, and for the remote beauty of a wilderness so close to home, about 30 miles from Seattle.

Also every year, and some would argue because of those users, the narrow, winding road into and out of the popular destination develops more ruts and potholes, the trails get worn down and the riverbanks are peppered with bootleg trails, campsites and even toilets.

In a novel tactic for solving some of these problems, several groups have combined efforts and are looking to users to help improve the Middle Fork area, most of which is federal- or state-owned public land.

The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, Washington Trails Association, American Whitewater, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance, The Mountaineers, Issaquah Alps Trails Club, and Backcountry Horsemen of Washington, have launched a crowd-funding venture, an indiegogo website (www.indiegogo. com/projects/support-trails-wildlife-inthe-middle-fork-snoqualmie-moreplay-less-impact) to raise money for needed improvements.

Judge gives city OK to demolish vacant house

Women’s self-defense class starts May 5 in North Bend The Snoqualmie-North Bend Police Department is offering free Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) training for North Bend women starting May 5.

The old house sitting on skids at North Bend’s wastewater treatment plant is finally, and once again, slated for demolition.

Empty since 2010, the house was spared from two earlier dates with destruction, once by relocation, and once by court intervention. However, earlier this month, King Superior Court Judge Dean Lum reversed his 2012 granting of an injunction to stop the demolition, and North Bend officials immediately renewed their plans to destroy the house.

The house is the former Alpine Chiropractic office building, bought to make way for the 2011 extension of Downing Avenue to North Bend Way, and it has not aged well since it was vacated and moved to its present site, 432 Bendigo Boulevard.

“It’s been open to the weather because the roof isn’t secure,” North Bend City Administrator Londi Lindell said in a 2012 interview. Vandals had repeatedly broken into the building.

Following the April 2 ruling, city staff requested bids from eight vendors on the demolition, and received three by the April 15 North Bend City Council meeting. At the meeting, the council, minus an absent Councilman Alan Gothelf, voted unanimously to accept Imperial Demolition’s bid of $8,300.

Two years earlier, Aug. 7, 2012, the council had awarded a contract for the same demolition project, but it never got started. A potential buyer filed a lawsuit and petitioned the court for an injunction to stop the demolition, claiming that North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing had promised to sell the house, according to the city’s motion to dismiss the suit. An injunction was issued Sept.

4, 2012.

In his order, Judge Lum awarded North Bend summary judgement in the lawsuit, dissolved the preliminary injunction, and further ruled against the plaintiffs, Red Letter Ministries and its director Salli Beaumariage (formerly DeBoer), dismissing all their remaining claims with prejudice. The order also allows the city to recover its attorney fees from the plaintiff, fees which Lindell said exceeded $114,000, plus 12 percent annual interest. Beaumariage has since asked the court to reverse the legal fee ruling.

Beaumariage, a Snoqualmie business owner, declined to comment on the court’s action in person, but sent the following in an e-mail message signed by the RLM team: “We disagree with the judge’s decision. The city of North Bend admitted the verbal agreement on the house and parcel for homeless women with children existed and the city did not win summary judgment on the merits, but on a legal standing technicality.” The message ended with a citation of Proverbs 29:7.

Club is keeping the bees, tradition alive in Valley

I am a member of the Snoqualmie Valley Beekeepers, a honeybee club. Recently I gave a talk to the club about mason bees (a native bee), and during my talk, I learned that there are only a few members who actually live in Snoqualmie.

It appears to me that the local community may be unaware of what an excellent resource for beekeeping they have right here in the Valley. The club meets from 7 to 9 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month at the King County Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center. People are welcome to come without being a member.

The first hour of the meeting tends to focus on beginning beekeeping, and provides an opportunity to ask questions about what’s happening with your hives. This is the club’s fourth season, and we now have more intermediate beekeepers and are in transition to provide more advanced programming for the second hour of the meeting. There is also a mentor program for beginners. The club participates in group purchases of woodenware, bee packages, and honey jars, and obtains excellent prices this way. The club also maintains an apiary at the Interpretive Center, and part of our spring programming is to guide beginners through a hive inspection. The club also owns an extractor which can be rented by members for a nominal fee. The Snoqualmie Valley produces an excellent, dark honey with a rich, robust flavor.

Come check us out.

Is spring cleaning on OUT your to-do list this year?

I feel compelled to validate closure provided by the memorial service for baby Kimball at Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church, held March 15.

So touched by what must have been the struggle of this tiny baby girl, I wrote a poem which helped me process this loss, and need for more awareness to step up involvement in our communities. Perhaps my words may help others, too. And those in trouble must know they are not alone.

For baby Kimball Doe, we gather to honor your soul.

Your short time on earth touched all our hearts.

I pray your struggle leads others to a new start.

There is power in each presence as we gather in love, In the knowledge of compassion on earth and above, For God is your father with arms held high, As we claim your essence and say goodbye, We’ll savor life and honor your memory, By helping and committing to the needs we see.

As you closed your eyes to life on earth, I pray you found peace on that small patch of dirt, Our hearts break for you, alone in the dark, Now morning has broken in the legacy of your mark.

You travel on ahead and wait at the gate, To welcome those who cared for your fate.

Your mother, in agony, had to let you go, May she find guidance out there in the cold.

In the arms of warmth and joy we believe you are safe, As the gates of heaven open to welcome your sweet face.

No footprint is too small to leave its mark on this world.

The technicality, according to Lindell and the city attorney’s supporting brief in the ruling, is that the nonprofit Red Letter Ministries filed for dissolution on Dec. 30, 2011, and the document was filed with the Washington Secretary of State Jan. 12, 2012.

Because the agency did not specify how its assets should be disposed of before dissolution, the city argued, Red Letter Ministries has no claim on the property now.

Further, the initial talks between Hearing, on behalf of the city, and Beaumariage, as DeBoer, specified a different agency, city minutes state. Prior to establishing Red Letter Ministries, DeBoer had been the director of the now-dissolved Network Services of Puget Sound. Network Services was the specified party in the agreement that the North Bend Council approved on Sept. 7, 2010, for the sale of “the Downing Avenue Extension Project house,” for $1, and for a $5, five-year lease of the city’s property for the home, “for the exclusive purpose of providing residential space for families in need of a home as a result of poverty, divorce, bankruptcy, and/or medical condition,” according to the meeting minutes.

“She entered the agreement as Network Services,” Lindell said.

By that time, though, the Washington Attorney General had issued a consent decree against DeBoer and Network Services, prohibiting them, individually and jointly, from soliciting charitable donations in the state without being registered to do so, among other conditions. A February 16, 2010, Attorney General press release said the decree, issued the same day, “does not include a finding or admission of wrongdoing. It resolves a complaint the Attorney General’s Office brought against the organization in December, 2008.”

The agreements for the sale of the house and the property lease were not signed by Beaumariage’s organization by the city’s deadline, and former City Administrator Duncan Wilson noted in the May 24, 2010,

council meeting minutes that staff had tried several times to contact them to complete the paperwork, with no response. More than a year later, when the Aug. 7, 2012, meeting agenda indicated a contract for the house demolition would be awarded, several advocates of the organization asked the council to honor the contract, assuring them the home could be useable by October of that year.

When paperwork was ultimately returned, the organization had altered the terms of the contracts, which the city refused to honor.

North Bend’s 2012 motion to dismiss the case states, “The contracts executed by Red Letter were not the versions long-before approved by the City Council, but... in Red Letter’s opinion, they were ‘substantially similar’ and had ‘no material differences.’”

The house was still in good shape when North Bend bought it in 2010, Lindell said, and, prior to talks with Network Services, the city offered to sell or give it to local organizations that might put it to good use, such as Habitat for Humanity, but none were interested in the building or its parts.

“We’d love for somebody to come take the house and be able to use it,” she said. “I just am fearful that because it sat there so long it might not be useable.”

She reported to the council after their vote on the contract that Imperial also did materials recycling, and might be able to recycle some of the house components.

Asked what Red Letter Ministries’ plans for the house were, Beaumariage responded, “the home is to be used for a faith-based transitional home for one family at a time in a restoration program.”

No timeframe has been established for the demolition work. The house can’t be torn down until a required asbestos survey, required by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, has been completed and a 10-day waiting period has passed.

Lindell said there is no asbestos in the house, which was established with the survey completed in 2012 before the planned demolition. Imperial Demolition will also be asked to coordinate with Nickels Bros., whose I-beams have been sitting under the house since the company helped move it in 2010.

Be the Change conference for youth leaders

North Bend Elementary PTA makes student fund raisers celebrities for a day Students were all smiles as they hopped out of the stretch Hummer, making the most of their celebrity treatment for the day. They posed for the paparazzi, charged down the red carpet, and flashed their VIP passes at every opportunity, and topped the whole thing off with a limousine ride in the stretch Hummer through North Bend.

This was the scene April 1 at North Bend Elementary, where the PTA was celebrating a very successful fundraiser.

“Our goal was $6,000 and we made $9,000” said PTA president Kristi Brooks, dressed as a limo driver for the day. The PTA rewarded those students who sold more than 20 items in the fundraiser with the limo ride, sharing costs with the catalog company.

A total of 35 students won a ride in a limo, and the front drive of the school was busy for over an hour as one grade level after another took their victory tour of the town.

Boy Scout Troop 466 of North Bend, recently honored Sean Hecker, Eric Lynne, Gregory Malcolm, and Lucas Stambaugh, who earned the highest rank in Scouting, Eagle.

“The Eagle rank represents years of commitment, service and outdoor adventures. We are very proud of these scouts and it’s been a pleasure to see their growth, as many have been scouting since the age of 6,” said Scout Master Doug McClelland, at a March 23 dinner celebrating the boys’ accomplishments.

Only about 2 percent of scouts attain the Eagle rank, which requires several levels of achievement, including earning at least 21 merit badges, completing before age 18 a service project benefitting his community, school, or church, and passing a board of review.

Each of the boys’ Eagle service projects have benefitted the community in a variety of ways. Lynne managed a team of volunteers to clear trees and shrubs, and build a trail on property for the Snoqualmie Youth Activity Center. Stambaugh directed the construction and installation of 21 bird houses for native birds on the Youth Activity Center property.

Malcolm coordinated volunteers to restore a steep trail embankment at the non-profit Valley Camp, weed invasive plants and replant the area with native species. Hecker managed the building and installation of a new hand rail for a steep trail, also at Valley Camp.

MIDDLE FORK FROM 1 “I think it’s a really good approach to letting people donate to what they really love,” said Mark Boyar, a founding and current member of the Greenway Trust board.

It’s also a good way for them, ultimately, to protect what they love, because the recreational population on the Middle Fork will only increase, say folks like Boyar, when a $20 million federal road reconstruction project is completed. Nearly 10 miles of the Middle Fork Road, from the eastern intersection with Lake Dorothy Road to the Middle Fork Campground, will be rebuilt and paved, re-opening in 2016 with even better access to the already wellused recreation areas.

“Some people say it’s the worst road in the state, and it may not be, but it’s the one that’s closest to three million people,” says Boyar.

“Not that people won’t come if the road isn’t good.”

More people are likely to come, though, and Boyar is among the many people who want the area to be ready for them when they do.

“We need to make sure that people have good trails, good trailheads, with access

to bathrooms,” he said, because “when it’s not available, people tend to create their own… and as often as not it will end up being in a wetland, or a spring feeding or nesting area for wildlife.”

To that end, the Greenway Trust and partners have planned a series of projects to repair and improve trails, control weeds, add facilities like portable toilets and trash cans and generally minimize the impact of both humans and the environment on the area.

The new road itself will solve “a lot of environmental problems,” Boyar says, with improved drainage and fish passages, so the Greenway Trust will continue work on its ongoing weed control project, as well as, they hope, two high-priority projects on the schedule for this summer.

“Our plan is to relocate a section of the Middle Fork Trail that’s collapsing into the river, and build a new access trail to the Pratt Bar,” for this year, Boyar said.

Both of these projects have already been through the National Environmental Policy Act review, and all future proposed projects will go through the same review.

“It’s probably 60 percent improving what we have and 40 percent new improvements,” says Boyar.

WWW.VALLEYRECORD.COM

To fund this year’s projects, the Greenway Trust has budgeted a $25,000 grant from the U.S. Forest Service, and is hoping to raise another $25,000 from private donations. It is also hoping for another $50,000 the following year, to cover more projects — among the proposals are improvements to the Snoqualmie Lake trailhead and the Middle Fork, Garfield Ledges and Otter Falls/Lipsy Lake trails

and trailheads, and construction of a picnic area at the Middle Fork trailhead.

So far, the fundraising effort has gone slowly, only $4,300 so far, but the campaign states that all funds will go toward the projects, even if the goal isn’t reached by the April 26 deadline.

“We’re still hoping to get as much done as we can by the end of the summer,” Boyar said. “If we don’t have (the donations), we’ll just

have to wait till 2015, and try to get twice as much done.”

Whether or not the campaign raises the needed money, though, Boyar considers it a success. “The hope here was to engage more people who aren’t already participating in something like this… and I think it’s worked on that score,” he said.

Work is scheduled to begin on the Middle Fork

Road on May 5, and continue through Oct. 31, with road closures planned for weekdays. The road will be open on weekends, with some delays, starting at midnight on Fridays and ending at midnight on Mondays.

Summit of stone Preston’s StoneFest passes on living language of stone workers

BY SETH TRUSCOTT

Learning ages-old techniques for building in stone, beehive workers put together a “clochan,” or dry-stacked stone hut for protection from the elements used by monks and herdsmen, at the 2010 StoneFest. The finished clochan, inset, used about 70 tons of stone. StoneFest returns to Preston in May.

Editor

t takes a lot of people and a lot of focus to build a stone church in just five days.

OK, the church may be in miniature—the sanctuary can fit perhaps one small visitor—but it’s still real local granite, done much the way its models were built in Ireland 1,000 years ago.

“We laugh about it being a church for a congregation of one,” said Alexandra Morosco, founding codirector of StoneFest, the instructional seminar hosted by Preston’s Marenakos Rock Center for the past decade. “But the design will be true to a style seen in that period.”

Ten years ago, Morosco founded StoneFest with co-director and Marenakos owner Scott Hackney as a way to bring stoneworkers together. StoneFest annually brings between 75 and 125 craftspeople and enthusiasts to Preston.

For the 10th anniversary, May 12 to 16, the festival brings leaders from many different organizations—nonprofits, educational communities and clubs from Scotland,

Ireland, Canada and the United States—all linked to stone.

It’s a summit of stoneworkers from many walks of life— builders, carvers, landscapers and instructors in the trade.

The festival “is for anyone who works with stone or has a passion for stone,” Morosco said. “They might be customers who say, ‘I just love putting rocks in my garden. I want to handle them (better). A lot are in the trade and do this professionally.”

For a week, visitors work and share knowledge. One night, there’s a Stone FEAST, in which workers (hopefully) drop their tools for a moment and enjoy food, drink and entertainment together on the grounds at Marenako’s. The cost for a full week is $495, but scholarships or daily passes are available for those on a budget.

Passing on knowledge Today, stone is thought of as a green material. There’s less processing and handling of stone than other building materials.

Spring clean-up with safety in mind As spring approaches thoughts turn to cleaning up our yards from the long winter months, making repairs around the home, and enjoying the outdoors. Keeping a few safety thoughts in mind will help make your spring experience more enjoyable.

Eastside Fire and Rescue offers the following tips to ensure your home is made safer as well as spic and span this spring.

Visible home addressing Can emergency personnel find your home in the dark of the night? Is your driveway clearly marked? If you are like many people in rural King County, your address may be on a group mailbox, but your driveway may not have any address marking. This can cause a delay when emergency responders are trying to locate your home. Properly posting your address sign will help responders locate your home more quickly when minutes count during an emergency situation.

Keeping the hydrant visible Are hanging tree branches and shrubs blocking the view of the hydrant in front from your home? Fire hydrants are a critical element in providing fire protection to a community. It is important for emergency responders to be able to see the hydrant easily from the street.

Eastside Fire & Rescue requires a three-foot clear space be maintained around the circumference of the fire hydrant. Do not customize the fire hydrant in your lawn. Fire personnel need working space around the hydrant.

Road access In an emergency, a few minutes or even seconds can make a difference to your safety. Can fire equipment such as an engine or aid car access your road or driveway to your home? Parked cars blocking driveways, large trees, shrubs and other vegetation hampering access needs to be maintained. Road widths cannot be less than 20 feet, and vertical clearance not less than 13 feet, six inches.

Put yourself in the place of an emergency responder and safely step out onto the curb in front of your home. Is your address marked and clearly visible? If not, it may affect the time it takes for emergency personnel to locate your home in the event of an emergency situation. This spring clean-up should include a safety minded approach by checking the visibility of your home address.

STONEFEST FROM 11 But stone isn’t used as widely as it was hundreds of years ago.

“There was a time when lots of people were in the stone trade,” said Morosco.

“It was a given that you would work for years as an apprentice before you learned your trade.”

Today, the skills aren’t as prevalent, and they aren’t always something you can learn on YouTube or through books.

Stone skills must be handed on inperson before they disappear forever.

StoneFest’s mentor and apprenticeship programs help that happen.

Some of the older stoneworkers, men in their 90s, “are amazing, Morosco said.

“They know things no one knows about.

If we lose these guys before they share the knowledge, it goes with them.”

“These are people that work with their hands and learn with their hands,” she said. “That’s why this is hands-on.”

So, through classroom time, design workshops, and hard work with bare hands and tools, skills are renewed.

“We hope the real results are when they go back home to work,” Morosco said. “If nothing gets built at this event, what’s important is that they learn.

The two major projects happening at this year’s StoneFest include both the miniature church and a castle rampart, to be built up between six and ten feet high.

The festival requires up to 70 tons of stone. Stone blocks fetch between $300 to $600 a ton, so it’s a sizeable investment from the festival’s sponsors. All the visitors, the projects and activity show off that stone to strong effect.

“It does put Marenako’s on the map (as) one of the most extraordinary stoneyards in the country,” said Morosco.

Some of the best StoneFest creations become permanent attractions, such as the 2010 clochan, or monk’s stone cell, or the portrait arch. Stone craftspeople can come back with clients and show them

At StoneFest, Nicholas Fairplay demonstrates carving on a memorial a participant designed for her beloved lost pets their finished projects anytime.

Besides construction, another big aspect of the festival is carving. There is an emphasis on hand tools, but power tools are allowed for those who work harder stone Some of the craftspeople at StoneFest work on their own projects, and end up bringing their worked block of stone home with them. Others put their effort into a group project—a carved portrait arch from a past StoneFest permanently memorializes that team task.

“We connect people to stone,” Morosco said. “We also connect people

to people. StoneFest creates a network that helps people gather knowledge and experience, so they have the confidence to do work.”

“We’ve always had a connection to stone,” she said. “We’ve had this long, deep resonance.... That’s why we walk on a beach and pick up pebbles.”

The festival helps make stone more user-friendly for beginners, and deepens experts’ relationship with this age-old material.

“By being around it, and sharing ideas, it brings people the confidence to work with stone,” Morosco said.

StoneFest seminars StoneFest shares skill and knowledge of the stone trade. Visitors work as a community for five intense days. This year’s projects include: • Elements of Sacred Space: An Early Irish Church: Visitors build a small-scale church • Every Man’s Home is His Castle: Participants build a scaled down castle rampart with dry stone talus, small towers or turrets and a pyramid spur. This will be an advanced project involving setting out geometry and merging shapes to challenge the experienced mason.

• Richard Rhodes, of Rhodesworks Design Studio and Rhodes Architectural Stone will be offering two workshops, a Design Charrette and Presentation workshop To learn more, visit stonefest.org/stonefest2014/stonefest-2014-catalog/.

ith spring in full swing, color comes quickly to the grounds of North Bend’s Nursery at Mount Si. So staff are hard at work to keep the plants, and the knowledge, growing and spreading to customers.

“It’s showtime in the garden business,” says owner Nels Melgaard, who’s at the center of the activity.

This month, their production greenhouses become retail houses, where shoppers can browse among the hundreds of plants, ground covers, grasses, hostas, sages, peonies, sedums, choosing form and color.

Meanwhile, at center stage—the nursery’s retail barn—trays of veggies and edibles mix with colorful annuals—petunias, pansies— that have been popular with the arrival of spring.

Soil and amendments, fertilizers and organic pest control await to help ready the ground, and a selection of bird feeders, birdhouses and hummingbird feeders sit nearby to tempt feathered visitors.

Outside, an aisle of trees are sheltered from the last of winter’s winds. Flowering shrubs are coming into their glory. As spring progresses, roses enter the mix.

Veggie gardens Food that you can grow is the big thing right now, says Melgaard, who nurtures clients’ interest in home orchards and vegetable gardens.

“There are a lot of people just growing food,” he said, “gardening, producing and involving their children.

People are concerned about their food. They want to grow their own.”

At the same time, the moment

is right to start composting and building your soil.

“There’s definitely planting going in, but there’s a lot of soil preparation, a lot of additions or organic amendments,” Melgaard said. “It’s like the foundation you build a house on.

You have to invest, and put energy into the ground, so that it will reward you throughout the season.”

No matter where you live, being a waterwise gardener makes environmental and economic sense. And it’s really easier than you think.

Here are just a few of the easy and affordable ways to conserve water while growing a beautiful garden.

Grow plants suited to your climate, and this includes the average rainfall for your area. Select drought tolerant plants that, once established, require less on-going care. Consider native plants like coneflower, yucca and penstemon as well as native and non-invasive ornamental grasses.

Be sure to group moisture-loving plants together and near a source of water. You’ll save time and water by concentrating your efforts on fewer plants. Move containers to the shade or provide additional shade during hot dry weather to reduce the plant’s water needs.

Use organic nitrogen fertilizers like Milorganite (milorganite.com). This slow release fertilizer encourages slow steady growth that requires less water. Plus, it will not burn plants during hot dry weather. It simply stays in the soil until the growing conditions, moisture and temperature are right for the plants.

Install a rain barrel or two to capture rain for watering in-ground and container gardens. Or place a rain barrel near your garden and collect rain directly from the sky. Use this water to supplement your garden’s moisture needs during drought.

Decorate or mask the barrels with vines, decorative fencing, containers, or nearby plantings. And check with your local municipality as several states and communities have banned rain harvesting on private property.

Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation to save water by applying the water directly to the soil where it is needed. Consider connecting your rain barrel to a soaker hose in a nearby garden. Just open the spigot and allow gravity to slowly empty the water throughout the day. Check to make sure water is evenly distributed throughout the garden.

And always water thoroughly and less frequently to encourage deep, drought-tolerant roots. Add a layer of organic mulch like shredded leaves, evergreen needles or herbicide-free grass clippings to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. As these break down, they add organic matter to the soil improving the water holding ability of sandy and rocky soils.

Allow lawns to go dormant during droughts. Apply ¼ inch of water every three to four weeks during extended droughts. This keeps the crown of the plant alive while the grass remains dormant. Do not apply weed killers and minimize foot and equipment traffic on dormant lawns.

Incorporate one or more of these techniques to your garden care this season. You’ll conserve water while creating healthier and more attractive gardens.

SHOWTIME FROM 13 The nursery started out years ago as an organic farm, so it takes the healthy approach very seriously, starting with the soil.

“We evolved from a certified organic farm. We didn’t know a lot about chemicals, and we tried to learn as little as possible,” Melgaard said.

All soils at The Nursery at Mount Si are inoculated with life-giving or living materials, such as organic bonemeal, worm castings or old-fashioned manure. Melgaard said every measurement shows that beneficial soils mean healthier plants.

The pond is one of the centerpieces of the Nursery, and is surrounded by rockery, statues, and hundreds of colorful pots, all meant to inspire creativity in your own garden.

The Nursery gets new life every spring. The pond, sheds and grounds here all have a new look and different products for 2014.

“Lots of new products,” said Herlihy.

Scramble for the goodies At the big Valley Easter egg hunts, you gotta move fast “Chocolate’s better than money.” That’s what 6-year-old Iris, a young egg hunter at the Moose Lodge’s annual Easter hunt at Si View Park, told mom Brissa. She had discovered that some of the eggs found by children contained cash. But money’s not candy.

The lure of Easter eggs is universal. Egg hunts around the Valley Saturday, April 14, drew thousands of children, who came to parks and greens for candy, wrapped prizes and money eggs, but mostly the thrill of snatching as many brightly colored baubles as possible. From whistle to finish, the hunts at Si View, and at Centennial Fields, took about a minute.

In Snoqualmie, children waited as patiently as possible for the Easter Bunny to arrive by fire truck and kick off the hunt. “Fire truck! It’s cool!” remarked Kole, 2, to mom Nu, awaiting his first egg hunt.

Friends Quinn Bartless and Alysa Anson, both 6, waited at the start line, and scanned theatrically ahead, scoping which eggs to score. “We’re trying to get all of them!” Anson said.

During 2014, the city of Snoqualmie has a goal to reduce the number of property owners receiving water utility bills in the mail by 33 percent and have them pay online instead.

About 4,000 property owners receive water utility bills each month via US mail, equal to about 100 pounds of paper per month.

If 33 percent of water customers switch to online payments, it would save 400 pounds of paper each year, one-fifth of a ton.

A 33 percent decrease will also save $10,000 per year for the cost of paper, mailing services, and postage.

That’s money in the city’s budget that could be spent on other citizen services.

Snoqualmie water customers can pay water utility bills through their online banking services or through UBPayments, a secure

Carmen Dolores Early Sauer Lofgren January 16, 1931 - April 5, 2014

Carmen was born & raised in Seattle where she attended West Seattle HS, class of 1949. She spent many years in North Bend where she sold real estate, along side her husband Don. Her love for crafts & sewing prompted the opening of “The Orange Door” where she shared her gift with others. After procuring many collections (incl. glass & vtg. Fisher Price toys), and her long-time passion for nostalgia, it only made sense that she open Grandma’s Thrift Store, right off of Main St. All this while she kept a lovely country home on Mount Si before moving to Ocala, Florida in 1994.

She was preceded in death by Donald, & her first husband Leslie Sauer. Carmen is survived by her five children, Mark Lofgren, Holli Lofgren, Matt Lofgren, Eric Lofgren and Todd Lofgren, as well as her sister, Sharon Zuvela, and many grand & greatgrandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all.

The first caller said her ex-boyfriend’s mother was trying to steal her 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix. The second caller said his friends were trying to get his car back from his ex-girlfriend. He later said that an unknown person snuck up and snatched the vehicle title right out of the first caller’s hands, then ran off.

MONDAY, APRIL 14 THEFT: At 5:56 p.m., a caller in the 7200 block of Cranberry Court Southeast, Snoqualmie, reported that someone had stolen $1,000 cash from his home, but as he takes medicine to help him sleep, he could not say when the theft occurred.

THREATS: At 9:07 a.m., an office manager in the 43000 block of Southeast 128th Place, North Bend, reported an ex-employee was making threats. The employee had come to the office to talk about getting paid, but left before police arrived. The dispute was continued by phone, and the manager asked police to ban the subject from the facility, which they did, also by phone.

SUSPICIOUS KNOCKING: At 3:16 p.m., a resident in the 7500 block of Dogwood Lane Southeast, Snoqualmie, told police that his wife had been home alone that day, when an unknown woman knocked on their door, then tried the doorknob. He also said that an unknown person had come to their home three times in the past month and knocked on the door. Police advised the residents to call 911 immediately when something suspicious happens.

MISSING PERSON: At 11:50 p.m., a caller in the 34000 block of Southeast Ridge Street contacted police because her husband had been missing for the past six hours. She said she’d last heard from him four hours ago when he sent a text message that he was going to a store in Issaquah. Police checked the Onstar service, which located his empty car in Seattle.

The husband later arrived home safely, explaining that he’d gone out with friends without telling his wife, and his cell phone battery had died, then his car was locked in a parking garage. A friend had given him a ride home.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16 LIQUOR LIFT: At 2:43 a.m., police received a report of a theft in progress in the 400 block of Southwest Mount Si Boulevard, North Bend. The caller said a teenage boy had tried to hide liquor bottles in his pants and walk out, but he gave the bottles back when an employee confronted him. He then ran out of the store. Police searched, but could not locate the would-be shoplifter.

TIME TO GO: At 8:45 p.m., an officer patrolling at the intersection of Railroad Avenue Southeast and the Snoqualmie Parkway, Snoqualmie, spotted a man standing in the middle of the road, with his pants down around his ankles, urinating in public.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

The right rhythm Mount Si tennis squad nailing its stroke with mid-season wins

BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor

Tennis is not a mean sport. So says doubles player Amber Caudle, who took to the court with partner Emily Schwabe and was perfectly polite, even as the duo beat their Sammamish Totem opponents in two sets.

“You can play competitively and still be nice,” Caudle said afterward.

There’s certainly no reason for chips on shoulders this season, one of the best that Mount Si’s girls tennis squad has ever had.

The reason for that: Mount Si has a bigger turnout, and these girls are playing and practicing more often in the off-season, said coach Jim Gibowski.

“I encourage players to play more than one sport,” he said. “But it’s neat to have people that are playing more than just a month and a half. It’s showing—our girls are strong and focused.”

All-ages family track meet at Si View

Doubles partners

Si View Metro Parks hosts an All Comers Track Meet for all ages, 2 p.m. Sunday, April 27, at Mount Si High School.

The track meet will be held on additional dates, May 4 and 18.

Running action includes many events, from a 25-meter dash to a 1,600-meter dash.

Field events include the long jump, softball throw, and turbo javelin—get the whole family out for the 400-meter lollipop run. All ages are welcome, and some events are age-specific. Each participant may enter up to five events per meet.

The cost is $5 per meet.

Above, Mount Si doubles player Hannah Still returns a volley during play Friday, April 18, against Sammamish.

Right, numberone singles player Rachel Walker awaits a serve.

All three of Mount Si’s doubles squads have found their rhythm.

Each duo says they play well together and understand each other’s game.

“We have different strengths,” said Caudle. “She plays backhand and I play forehand.”

Schwabe and Caudle will probably become Mount Si’s main doubles squad in 2015, when the team enters 4A competition.

“I love tennis so much,” Caudle said. “I like getting better, and trying to improve the strokes. My main focus is my serve.

It’s definitely coming along, and looks like a real tennis serve.”

Mount Si’s number-two duo is fairly new this year. But their bond is tight.

“We know each others’ strengths and weaknesses,” said Alaina Kinghorn.

“We have good communication on the floor,” added Hannah Still. “We can kind of tell what the other person is going to do before they do it. We can help them out by getting into the right position.”

Both partners practice together and take lessons as a team.

For them, tennis is shaping up to be a lifetime enjoyment.

And there’s also the competition factor.

“We love to win,” said Still.

Olivia Howland started playing in her freshman year. It was daunting, because the sport was new. Many other girls had tried out.

“I walked into the gym, thinking, ‘How am I ever going to make this team?’”

Flash forward four years, and she’s part of the top duo.

She and number-one doubles partner Peyton McCulley are good friends on and off the court, and experienced seniors.

“We definitely go off of each other,” Howland said.

“She’s a lefty, I’m a righty— is a great place to brand your business and promote your that complements each other.” products and services and to entice both local resident and McCulley’s sinistral tourist alike to shop in your unique store or venue. secret weapon helps in their success.

Kasey Maralack wins nat’l drive championship Young Snoqualmie golfer Kasey Maralack is making a name for herself in youth golf circles.

Maralack, age 9, won the Driving Championship in the Drive Chip and Putt championship at Augusta National on Sunday, April 6, in Augusta, Ga., with a 162-foot drive, her first at the event. Her second drive was 137 yards. She was one of four winners in the girls’ 7-9 age division.

She plays and practices at the TPC Snoqualmie Ridge. Her coach, Seth Westfall, Director of Instruction at the TPC, has helped her become more consistent with her drives, chipping and putting.

Maralack started playing at the age of 3 and played her first tournament at 7. She started playing by watching her sister Caitlin competing in golf tournaments all these years. In typical sibling fashion, her goal is always to try and beat Caitlin.

She is trying to qualify for the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship at Pinehurst, N.C., and played the qualifier recently in Niagara Falls, Canada.

Kasey was extremely excited and proud of her accomplishment, says her dad, Dave Maralack of Snoqualmie. She understands the magnitude of the opportunity to play at Augusta National Golf Club, home of the Masters, and of being an ambassador for junior golf.

A tired sophomore Rachel Walker battled through some interminable rallies, or sequences of shots within a point, with Sammamish’s Tina Live, winning 7-5, 6-3, after nearly two hours of play last Friday, April 18.

“I’m really tired, but it was very worth it,” she said. “Those are the longest rallies I’ve had all year.”

She and Live were very close in ability.

“You have to have endurance to go that long,” Walker said.

“It’s whoever can tough it out the most.”

Walker experienced frustrating moments during games, but you wouldn’t think it to look at her. She appears cool and collected, and that’s by design.

“Once you see the other player frustrated, you get more confidence,” she says. This is Walker’s fourth year playing competitive tennis, second at Mount Si High School. She loves the complexity of tennis, and is deep into the mental game.

“You really get to focus,” she said. “I try to think one point

“We’re good at keeping each other focused,” Howland said.

“We’re definitely comfortable playing together.” For her, it’ll be hard when the season ends, saying goodbye to friends she’s just met. She hopes to set an example of leadership.

and one shot at a time. You have to think about the entire game, the entire set.”

Walker learned the game as a young girl, but has only played competitively for a few years. She’s also a Mount Si cheerleader, and will balance the two sports this spring.

Walker started the season at number-two, then quickly moved up. “I like being number one,” she says. “But at the same time, when you’re number one, you play the state champions, the best of the best, which is pretty tough.” Walker admits she’s a little envious of teammates who don’t always get the same challenge.

“But someone has to play number one!”

The girls blanked Sammamish last Friday, 7-0. Along with Walker’s win, number-two singles player Kerry Pemberton beat the Totems’ Ha Nguyen, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3. At number-three singles, freshman Regan Baltasar won over Jessica Sou, 7-6, 6-2. At number four, Hannah Jones beat Donna Ganbaatar, 6-2, 6-2.

Mount Si’s number-one doubles team of McCulley and Howland bested Sammamish’s Danielle McCormack and Jama Gantulga, 6-3, 6-3. At number-two doubles, the Kinghorn and Still beat Brenda Li and Taryn Okamoto in two quick sets, 6-0, 6-0. At number-three doubles, Caudle and Schwabe won out over the Totems’ Jennifer Chi and Olivia Tremblay, 6-2, 6-2.
