There is still time to help out families in need this year with the Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis Giving Tree program.

The Giving Tree program is a community effort that gathers toys for parents or guardians who can’t provide a gift to give their children for Christmas. Businesses and organizations all around the Valley have holiday Giving Trees set up with toy request tags hanging from the branches. Anyone in the community is invited to take a tag, buy a gift for a child of the specified age and gender, then return it to the tree for pick-up.

Debby Peterman, a member of Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis, said there are approximately 40 trees across the Valley in places like the North Bend, Snoqualmie and Fall City Libraries, QFC, Safeway, IGA, Ace Hardware, Farmer’s insurance offices, the YMCA, Umpqua bank, Snoqualmie Valley Eye Care, and the Snoqualmie Police and Fire Departments.

Valley man’s life celebrated Harold Erland Sr. leaves a legacy of people, places

By CAROL LADWIG Editor

In his lifetime, there weren’t many things that the late Harold Erland Sr. didn’t have some connection with in the Upper Valley. Much that he has touched, including his hometown of Cedar Falls, is gone now, but Erland’s life and work have had a lasting impact on many people and places in the North Bend area.

“He was a Scoutmaster when he got back from the service. I don’t know how or why he became a Scoutmaster,” said Harold (Butch) Erland Jr., “but I

A Giving Tree at the North Bend QFC attracted youngsters who wanted the job of bell-ringer.

Snoqualmie Valley Kiwanis and the North Bend Church of Jesus Christ LatterDay Saints are working in conjunction to organize and run the program, and the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank has offered its location for the pick-up events, Thursday and Friday, Dec. 17 and 18.

was really little and I remember him coming home in his Scout uniform.

Bill and John Glazier were in his Scout troop, and a lot of people of that age.”

“A lot of kids took hunter safety from him. Both my daughters did… I was in Rifle Club when I was in high school, down in Fall City, and we were the first hunter safety class in the state,” Erland continued.

His father and mother were also involved in the creation of the food bank that, under various names, has operated out of the North Bend Community Church for decades.

Erland recalled some of the specifics of that project in the ‘70s, although he was no longer living at home. Some of their friends had proposed the idea at their church, he said, but hadn’t gotten permission to try it.

“So my Mom said maybe we could do it out of our church.”

Families who want to sign up for the Giving Tree program can contact the food bank, located at 122 E Third Street, North Bend. The food bank distributes from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, and 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Mondays.

Holidays in the Valley Holiday lights Stormy night dampens holiday tree lightings The weather outside was frightful Saturday in North Bend and Fall City, calling a halt to some, but not all of the planned holiday festivities in each community.

All outdoor events were canceled in North Bend and in Fall City, the traditional bonfire at the Arts Park was called off because of the weather, but the tree lighting went on as scheduled.

Before the trees along S.R. 202 were lit, Fall City students treated friends and family to a holiday concert, by both elementary and middle school students.

Carnation also held its annual Christmas in Carnation Saturday, with help from the Cedarcrest High School band and choir and a visit from the Eastside Fire & Rescue Reindeer Engine.

The engine returns to Carnation Friday, Dec. 18 for a toy drive, 5 to 9 p.m. at Tolt Commons Park.

At first, the food bank was just a group of people who brought groceries — including supplies from the two freezers the Erlands kept stocked in their garage — to the church one day a week and passed them out the side window to people in need. It has since grown into the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, serving about 300 families each week with distributions on Wednesdays, plus a seniors-only distribution on Mondays.

Erland’s father was a life member of the Sallal Grange and, when he received the Chief Seattle Council’s Silver Beaver Award for service to scouting in 1964, he was only the sixth person in the Snoqualmie Valley to receive the honor.

His most lasting legacy, though, is probably in people — his own four sons, Harold, Carl, Friz and John, and their sister Tresa, and the many foster children he and his wife, Helen, took in over the years.

“They raised more than 65 foster children,” said Erland, “one of which is my sister… she came when she was 6 years old and grew up with us — I was in high school so I was only with them for a couple of years. She stayed until she graduated from the University of Washington. Until she got married, actually. We consider her our

sister. People probably think that’s strange, because she’s a Native American,” he laughed, “but oh well.”

Erland said both his parents grew up in the habit of helping people, recalling stories of his mother’s mother who, when the family operated a chicken farm, hosted a free fried-chicken dinner every Sunday after the Depression for people displaced by the financial crash.

Other elements of his father’s tale are sadly, long gone, including the the two-room schoolhouse at Cedar Falls, complete with a swimming pool, where he started his education, the Weyerhaeuser mill where he worked and the railroad lines, where Erland Sr. spent the summers as a gandy-dancer, laying rails for the new tracks.

“He was a big guy, a football and track star in high school, and he could have played college,” said Erland, adding that some of his father’s football opponents admitted “they were afraid to tackle him!”

His size probably helped him with his first career out of high school, too. Erland doesn’t know why his father lied to the military in June, 1929, exactly, but there’s a note of pride in his voice when he tells the story.

“He lied about his age to get into the Army, by a month,” said Erland. “He was 17, joined the Army Air Corps, then turned 18.”

Erland Sr. was quickly taken far

Years ago, he recounted the story to the Valley Record, saying that during the bombing, he tried to hide in a latrine, but that didn’t work out so well.

Following Pearl Harbor, Erland flew bomber planes, serving as a crew chief in the South Pacific.

He was discharged in 1945 and returned to the Valley, saying “I haven’t found any place better than this one.”

A memorial service is planned for 10 a.m. Friday, Dec. 11, at North Bend Community Church, 122 E Third St., North Bend.

Giving Tree tags list the gender and age of a child for whom donors can buy gifts.

GIVING FROM 1 “Some of these families are working, need child care and are time sensitive,” Peterman said. The food bank works with them to find a good time.

The setup is similar to the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank’s operation; the toy bank is laid out like a store, allowing customers to shop and choose what they want. A point system scales with the amount of people a guest is shopping for, so people with larger families can get more gifts.

“In addition to the gift shopping we have a raffle for a big item,” Peterman said.

According to Peterman, the Giving Tree program serves about 600 kids a year on average.

If a family misses the sign-up or pick-up dates, the program can still help, she added.

The Giving Trees are set up in the community until Jan. 1. Families can call the food

bank, (425) 888-7832, to register to receive extra or later gifts.

“We generally have extra toys,” Peterman said. “We still collect all the toys and we store them until next year’s event, or for families who need a birthday present during the year.”

Volunteers help set up the food bank’s shopping room with toys and gifts and price each item based on the point system. They also help with gift wrapping.

Peterman is very pleased that the Valley community comes together to make this event happen each year. She said the program has been running for more than 15 years with the help of community members.

“I’ve been at Kiwanis for 9 to 10 years and it was going on way before me,” she said. “We couldn’t do this without the whole community. I think my favorite part is being there the day of the gift-giving, watching the families pick up presents for their kids.

That’s what is special for me, it’s making Christmas special for another family.”

The Sallal Grange is hosting a Toys for Tots donation drive, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12 and 13. The drive will be at the Grange Hall, 12912 432nd Ave. S.E., North Bend.

The Grange will be collecting new, unwrapped toys for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation (www.toysfortots.org).

Cash or check donations can be dropped off during the event. Make checks payable to Toys For Tots. To donate online, visit https://web. charityengine.net/Default. aspx?tsid=1320&loc=fort-lewiswa.

Competing for space Send us your stories of amazing athletes, artists and the academically inclined

T

his week, we feature the winter sports update for Mount Si and Cedarcrest High Schools.

In the past couple of weeks, we contacted and visited the various coaches and CAROL LADWIG athletes and asked Editor them to give a forecast for the season ahead, a fairly

big task considering how busy both coaches and student-athletes are.

We know how people love their sports, though, so it’s entirely worth it.

I always get inspired when I talk to students who excel at something, whether it’s athletics, arts, or academics. I was, in my best years, barely an athlete at all, but these young men and women are almost universally clear on their goals and motivated — universally motivated — to reach them. Rarely are they flustered by talking with a reporter, posing for a photo, or better yet, not posing for a photo, which I selfishly appreciate because it makes my job easier.

These young men and women are going after their dreams, and in environments that make it awfully hard to sustain dreams — most competitions have winners, losers and little in between. Whole communities identify themselves with their sports teams, which really puts on the pressure.

Rivalries and empires alike can be built on a single win, or a single bad call, just ask any Seahawks fan.

So, bravo to all of them, the athletes, the musicians, the chefs, performers, scientists, videographers, botanists, mathematicians, roboticists — competing in an event this weekend at Mount Si High School — and every other student who has found a niche to call his or her own.

We’d like to salute all of them, every time they win, or place, or just show up. Why don’t we? Well, we have to know about it first.

I suspect people often don’t send their news, including game reports, to the paper because they think we already know about it. Maybe, maybe not. We know when games are scheduled, but we can’t be at every competition, so we don’t know the result.

Feel free to send that information to editor@valleyrecord.com. If we already knew about it, you’ll still have my thanks.

What is your favorite winter sport?

Snowboarding because I’ve been living in the area all my life and the mountain is only 30 minutes away.

Mike Sible Snoqualmie Pass

Snowboarding. I’ve been here for 20 years and it’s one of the best places to ride.

Chris Catanzaro North Bend

Football, hey we got the Seahawks here, why wouldn’t it be my favorite sport for the winter?

The story, about Loveland charging Donald and Sheila Zepp $487 to tow their van less than 2 miles to Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, during a major flood, triggered another flood, of hate mail and phone calls to the company.

• The number-one choice of new school sites for the high school, out of five the Riverview School Board had available, is the Batten Road location. The site is accessible from many directions and the property is located next to the Duvall city limits on about 40 acres at Northeast 150th Streeet.

Lois was born in Morrison County, Minnesota, September 11, 1925 – December 2, 2015.

Lois Nicholas took flight to her next adventure in a world beyond our own on December 2, 2015. Born on a farm into a small, resilient and pragmatic community she thrived and learned the basic values that would serve her for the rest of her life.

Dedication to community, self-reliance, service to others and a sunny outlook were the hallmarks of her approach to life. Most important was her love of nature, which was cultivated by parents who pulled her out of bed late at night to go watch the Northern lights. She still claims pride for four years of perfect attendance at the one room school she attended, despite the brutal walks through deep snow in the winter, as she recalled.

Lois was adventurous and smart. She left her home to attend Bimigi State teachers college, and then graduated from the Methodist Nursing School at Rochester, MN. She soon settled in Snoqualmie, WA to work at Nelms Memorial Hospital for 17 years and then many other private nursing jobs. During her nursing career she saw many landmarks in medicine, such as the advent of antibiotics and the Iron Lung for polio victims. She married Alfred D. Nicholas on July 29, 1960 at the Snoqualmie Methodist Church.

She is survived by two children David and Gretchen Nicholas; nieces Gwentha Lumsden, Ellen Noreen, Laurel Parks, grandchildren Natalie Kryger, Kelli Merza; great grandchildren Liam, Elliott, Silas, and Finas, Sophia and Vivian.

She was known for happily hauling her children and friends all over town, and to open her home and refrigerator to their appetites.

Lois was a member of the Snoqualmie Methodist Church in Snoqualmie for many years, and a booster of the Snoqualmie Valley Volunteer Fire Department. She loved the mountains and streams in Snoqualmie Valley, and cherished her garden and her neighborhood friends. This community, so rooted in the values she brought from Minnesota, gave her joy and fellowship for over 60 years.

Remembrances may be made to the Snoqualmie Methodist Church, 38701 SE River St., Snoqualmie, WA 98065 or the Snoqualmie Firefighters Association, 37600 SE Snoqualmie Parkway, Snoqualmie, WA 98065.

A memorial service will be held at 11 am, Saturday, December 12, 2015, at Flintoft’s Issaquah Funeral Home.

Harold Mitchell Erland

Harold Mitchell Erland, died peacefully on November 21, 2015 in Bellevue, Washington. He was 94 years old and was surrounded by several family members.

Harold was born in North Bend on July 28, 1921 to parents, Christopher Erland and Edna Mae Moore. In high school, Harold played football and participated in track and field. After he graduated, from North Bend High School, he enlisted in the US Army Air Corps in June 1939. He was stationed at Hickam Field Hawaii, and survived the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. During WWII, he served as a crew chief on bombers in the South Pacific. He was discharged from the service in 1945.

He married Helen Jean Siefferman on May 23, 1943.

Harold and Helen had four sons and in 1969 a daughter joined the nuclear family. In the 60’s and 70’s, they were foster parents to over 65 children.

Harold worked at Weyerhaeuser for 40 plus years, starting as a planer operator and retiring as the head planerman.

Serving the community and volunteering was a way of life for Harold. In the late 1940’s, he was Boy Scout Master for Troop 466 in North Bend and in the mid-60’s and 70’s, he was Scout Master for Troop 491 in Snoqualmie. He received the Silver Beaver award from the Chief Seattle Council.

During the same timeframe, he led the Snoqualmie Valley Junior Rifle Club and taught hunter’s education. He was also a lifetime member of the Sallal Grange.

Harold and his wife, Helen, were instrumental in establishing the Food Bank at North Bend Community Church and worked tirelessly at the foodbank every week during the 1980’s. Harold and Helen were honored to serve as Grand Marshals of the Snoqualmie Days parade based on their devotion and longtime service to the Valley.

After Harold retired, he spent time cutting and delivering firewood to friends and members of the community. He enjoyed many other outdoor activities including: camping, fishing, gardening, picking blackberries and hunting. He loved to play cribbage and pinochle. He especially loved tomatoes from the east side of the mountains and during the summer, he and Helen made frequent trips to Yakima for fresh fruit and vegetables.

After the passing of Helen in 1987, he married Levora Perry in 1990 and moved to Boise, Idaho. He lived there until she passed in 2006, then returned to the North Bend area and spent his last two years living in Bellevue, Washington.

Harold was preceded in death by his wife of 45 years, Helen, his second wife of 16 years, Levora Perry, his sisters Merle Wiss, Severna Kerby and most recently his 106 year old sister Leona Koch(Babe).

He is survived by his children, Harold II (Butch) and wife Carol, Carl and his wife Racine, Frederick Erland (Fritz), John and wife Diane and Tresa Berg and husband David. His grandchildren include Heidi Erland and Heather Hamerly, Carla Resh and Russell Erland, Shari Boggs and Angie Langston, and Andrew and Taylor Berg. His great grandchildren: Jack and Lydia Hamerly, Ryan, Shannon and Hannah Langston and Kailey Repetowski. His great, great grandchild Brooke Harris. A nephew, Harold Koch and wife Kae; niece, Edna Fitzgerald and many other loving relatives.

A celebration of Harold’s life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, December 11, 2015 at the North Bend Community Church, followed by a lunch reception in the fellowship hall, 121 E. 3rd Street, North Bend, Washington.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances can be made to the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank at 122 E. 3rd Street, (North Bend Community Church) in Harold’s memory.

Truck sticks in dirt on Railroad Avenue Tuesday

Evan Pappas/Staff Photo

Crossword puzzle

A ventilation and cleaning truck sank into some loose soil at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday morning on Southeast Northern Street and Railroad Avenue in Snoqualmie. With the vehicle stuck on the corner, police had to slow traffic at that intersection.

The driver of the truck was on S.E. Northern Street and was making a right turn onto Railroad. The angle of the turn was too sharp and his rear wheels got stuck in some soft soil.

Diesel fuel had spilled from the truck, so officials called the Department of Ecology. The truck driver put down absorbent materials to soak up the fuel and prevent it from getting into the soil or into drainage. City officials could not say if the accident caused damage to irrigation hoses.

Fall City athlete named to All-America First Team Washington University in St. Louis junior forward Katie Chandler of Fall City, was named to the 2015 National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Division III Women’s Soccer All-America First Team, as announced by the Association.

Chandler and her teammate, senior midfielder Olivia Lillegraven of Coronado, Calif., are the ninth and 10th players in school history to earn first-team honors. It also marks the first time WashU has had a pair of first-team honorees in the same season.

“Months ago, Olivia and Katie agreed to support and play off each other to makes themselves, each other and the team better,” said WashU head coach Jim Conlon. “For both of them to be First-team All-America is truly special due to their personal compromise for the betterment of each other. To be an All-American means to be the best of the best in the country, and we are proud to have two of them.”

Chandler started 22 of 24 games played and had 8 goals and 3 assists for 19 points. She ranked second in the conference in goals, points and

Chandler netted three game-winners in UAA play, including back-to-back against No. 3 and previously unbeaten Carnegie Mellon University Oct. 30 and Case Western Reserve University Nov. 1.

She also scored the game-winning goal in a 1-0 win over No. 4 Illinois Wesleyan University Sept. 19 and in a 1-0 win over Denison University in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Nov. 15.

Chandler, a first-team all-Central Region and all-UAA selection, was named the NSCAA National Player of the Week Nov. 3 and was a two-

time UAA Offensive Athlete of the Week honoree. She earned NCAA Championship All-Tournament Team honors after scoring the tying goal against No. 1 Messiah College in the NCAA Semifinals.

WashU tied a single-season record with a 20-3-1 overall record, and finished as the 2015 NCAA Division III national runner-up. The Bears advanced to the Final Four for the third time in school history.

Chandler and Lillegraven will be recognized at the annual NSCAA AllAmerica Luncheon, Saturday, Jan. 16, in conjunction with the 2016 NSCAA Convention in Baltimore.

County infuses local groups with funding hike King County Executive Dow Constantine recently signed legislation to enact “Building for Culture,” the largest one-time investment King County has made to build new cultural facilities, as well as expand, preserve, and improve existing ones.

More than 100 arts and cultural organizations will share $28 million in capital improvement grant funds financed by bonds backed by a portion of the county’s hotel/motel tax revenues.

“I proposed ‘Building for Culture’ to leverage lodging taxes paid by visitors, and reinvest them in the bricks and mortar of museums, theaters, and heritage sites so we can continue to attract more visitors and locals alike,” said Constantine.

“What’s special is the depth and breadth of these investments — youth and ethnic heritage centers; the historic theaters of downtown Seattle and new cultural destinations countywide; and landmarks and treasured historic buildings.”

“A vibrant arts and cultural community is a hallmark of King County, something we are well known for nationally. The arts generate significant economic activity, provide a high quality of life for residents, inspire learning opportunities for youth, and attracts tourists,” said Council Chair Larry Phillips.

“Through support of our arts and heritage organizations, we recognize the important role that these cultural experiences have in strengthening communities and developing young minds.”

Building for Culture is a one-time expansion of 4Culture’s annual facilities grant program, and will go to build new cultural facilities as well as expand, preserve and improve existing ones, as well as protecting landmarks and historic places. The $28.4 million in grants are

financed by bonds backed by a portion of the county’s lodging tax paid by visitors.

During the last recession, major upgrades or replacement of the region’s arts and heritage infrastructure were put on hold as organizations focused on meeting operating costs.

Building for Culture is unique in its depth and breadth of financial support: • Investing for Youth: $1,631,500 • Completion of building projects to provide performance and community spaces, as well as for expanded education programming and new interpretive parks, with such beneficiaries as the Duvall Foundation for the Arts and the Northwest Railway Museum Education Center.

• Investing in South King County: $4,673,844 • Investing in Historic Theatres: $3,006,137 • Saving Landmarks: $2,000,000 “Building for Culture is a game changer. It will make possible the completion of new cultural destinations throughout the county, beginning or accelerating construction for projects that have been in the planning stages for many years,” said Alka Badshah, president of the 4Culture Board of Directors.

All proposals were reviewed by peer panels that made funding recommendations based on the quality, feasibility, and impact of the project. Panel recommendations were approved by the 4Culture Board and the King County Council.

Valley organizations to receive grants were: Duvall Cultural Commission - $40,000 Duvall Foundation for the Arts - $420,000 Northwest Railway Museum - $200,000 and Si View Metropolitan Park District - $100,000.

Recently, Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson and the city of Snoqualmie were criticized for planned development of the project known as the Tokul Roundabout, construction of a roundabout on State Route 202 at Tokul Road.

The project site is located 1/3 of a mile from Snoqualmie Falls, north of S.R. 202 and beyond the upper parking lot of Snoqualmie Falls Park, out of sight of the Falls.

The development plan for the project land was approved more than 10 years ago after several months of public process. The project encompasses expansion of the Salish Lodge, a conference center, and 175 homes, all on a 60-acre parcel. The development rights were purchased by the Muckleshoot Tribe in 2007 following a competitive bidding process in which both the Muckleshoot and Snoqualmie Tribes made offers.

The Tokul Roundabout, once completed and re-landscaped, will provide a safer and more beautiful experience for visitors to Snoqualmie Falls Park. The prior road alignment was a created by unplanned development dating to the late 1890s.

“One of my highest priorities is not just preserving, but also restoring and enhancing the beauty and integrity of Snoqualmie Falls,” said Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson. “It’s our most cherished asset and greatest source of pride.”

The city of Snoqualmie, the Cascade Land Conservancy (now Forterra), Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Company, and King County came together in June 2001 for a public-private partnership to establish the Snoqualmie Preservation Initiative. The initiative achieved permanent protection of 145 acres directly adjacent to Snoqualmie Falls, prevented the development of 9,000 acres in the Raging River Basin and other areas of the Snoqualmie Valley in perpetuity, and protected the Snoqualmie and King County trail systems.

The city has also acquired 165 acres of the 418-acre Three Forks Natural Area from King County, partnered with Mountains to Sound Greenway to save 130 acres at Snoqualmie Point from development and partnered with the city of North Bend to purchase and maintain Meadowbrook Farm, a 460-acre area of open space and critical wildlife habitat. Snoqualmie also has 38 city parks totaling 142 acres for outdoor recreation, and more than 25 miles of trails, many of which connect to regional trails.

One extricated but no serious injuries in Dec. 2 crash Fall City and Carnation Fire Departments responded to a two-car collision on S.R. 202 at Tolt Hill Road just after noon Wednesday, Dec. 2. Four people were involved in the accident and none had serious injuries, but one of them had to be extricated from her vehicle, according to the report from the Fall City Fire Department.

The intersection is at the dividing line between Fall City Fire and Carnation’s Fire Department, so Fall City isn’t always dispatched to that area, said Lt. Jake Dillon of the Fall City department, but he added, “we’ve been there quite a bit lately.”

He couldn’t comment on the cause of the collision.

Washington State Patrol officials did not issue a statement on the accident, since none of the occupants were seriously injured.

Since 2010, the stretch of S.R. 202 between Tolt Hill Road and Duthie Hill Road has been the scene of about 10 collisions each year, according to data requested from the Washington State Patrol: 12 in 2010; 3 in 2011; 9 in 2012; 10 in 2013; 9 in 2014; and as of Nov. 5, 7 this year. Five accidents were attributed to one of the drivers being intoxicated, eight were attributed to one of the vehicles traveling too fast and another eight to a vehicle following too closely. Seven were caused by a driver failing to yield the rightof-way to the other vehicle.

Carnation man found dead in home Family members reported finding a 40-year-old Carnation man dead on the kitchen floor in his home, in the 32000 block of E. Bird Street at 7:25 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 24.

An officer from the King County Sheriff’s Department responded to the call. The man appeared to have died of natural causes, and may have had health problems.

Below: Ryan Fischer drives to the basket in practice.

Mount Si boys are looking ahead Hungry and athletic are the words Coach Kyle Clearman uses to describe the Mount Si High School varsity boys basketball team, and for good reason.

The team, led by eight seniors, has been working hard almost since the end of last year’s season, toward the goal of a big year for the Wildcats.

“We had a really good offseason,” said Clearman, noting that most of the athletes were at open gyms and lifting weights twice a week, or more and competed in two off-season tournaments.

Their regular-season record last year, 3-17, doesn’t show it, but “we were in a lot of close games,” Clearman said.

They don’t have the size of many of their opponents, said Danny Thompson, one of the team seniors, but they are athletic, and inspired to be the best team in the league.

“We all believe we can do it,” Thompson said, “we’ve just got to do the simple

things.”

The strong team chemistry of years playing together should contribute to some successes, too.

“We’ve really developed a kind of brotherhood,” said senior Ryan Fischer, and the

on-court chatter reflects that. “We always kind of know what we’re talking about, but it doesn’t always make sense.”

Cedarcrest Basketball set their sights on State The Cedarcrest boys basketball captains say they want to go to the state tournament this year, and they’re being realistic about it. They made it to the district play-offs last year and the young team — only three seniors are on the roster — is aware of its strengths and challenges.

“Chemistry is important, because we’re going to be outsized in a lot of games,” said junior and team captain Nik Reierson.

“We feel like this is our best chance this year,” added Jake Kirschenman, junior, captain and one of the taller players at 6’2”,

“with our youth and the leadership of our seniors.”

Every person on the team is a solid contributor, Kirschenmann pointed out.

“There are no superstars.”

Chemistry is “huge,” said Robert Cha, the senior team captain. So is perfec-

tion, which he said the team strives for every day, but chemistry is what makes the team feel like a family.

“I’m definitely looking up to the younger guys, every day they teach me something,” said Cha.

Mount Si Varsity Girls Basketball Mount Si girls working on strong defense The move from 3A to 4A has been a big step for the girls basketball team at Mount Si High School.

After playing in 4A last year, the team feels they are ready to really improve.

Head coach Taylor Bass said that the last season gave them the experience they needed to play in 4A. “Last year was a good year for us overall. We were moving up from 3A to 4A and knew that we were going to play bigger schools with a bit more individual talent,” Bass said. “We were able to put a very good foundation on the defensive end for us and it’s something that showed with our first game already.”

Annie Hiebert, senior and team captain, agreed, stating the team has made the big adjustments already and is focused teamwork.

“It was a big adjustment moving up, but I think this year we have seen all of our competition so it’s definitely an easier transition,” Hiebert said. “We can’t play individually to beat teams like this, we have to play all together and I think that’s

An optimistic Brad Knowles was considering the advantages his Cedarcrest High School girls basketball team has for the season at a recent practice.

“We have height, we have speed,” he said, then a shrill burst of laughter cut across his words. After hushing the offenders, he continued, “We’re young.

Very young.”

The 2015-16 Red Wolves are made up of freshmen, sophomores and juniors, but not a single senior.

Leadership this year will come from captains Meredith Burke, Kennedy Howell and Mieke Vaness and they are confident they are up to the task.

“We keep everyone focused,” said Howell.

“Our team is kind of like a big family, and we kind of hold each other together,” added Vaness.

They are also confident

That could be why they are all completely committed to going to state, either this year or next.

“Everyone on the team has the exact same goal,”

said Howell. Vaness finishes, “And we want to do it as a team.”

Although Cedarcrest is in a different conference, Cascade, and level, 2A, from Mount Si, KingCo, 4A, the two teams play a traditional game each season called the Valley Cup. Cedarcrest hosts the Valley Cup this year, and, said Knowles, they’ve won it the past two years.

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership Boeing supporting 14,000 technical scholarships for Washington state students

B

oeing’s investment of $25 million – combined with an equal amount contributed by Microsoft and matched by the state of Washington – is enabling nearly 14,000 students to earn technology degrees within the decade.

So far, scholarships have been awarded to 5,500 low- and middle-income students in Washington state, with nearly 60 percent being the first members of their families to attend college, according to Stan Deal, Boeing senior vice president - Commercial Aviation Services and a member of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship board of directors speaking at an event to raise funds for additional scholarships.

Addressing more than 300 community and political leaders in Seattle, Deal noted Boeing has “a vision of a future in which all students have access to educational opportunities so they can develop their skills, pursue their dreams and build a better world.

“We are investing billions of dollars to design and produce the next generation of airplanes right here in Washington,” Deal added. “Through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, we are also investing in the next generation of employees in our community so that they can learn the skills they need to capture opportunities that Boeing and other leading companies

$25 million investment helps provide science, technology, engineering and math scholarships are creating.”

Established five years ago, the scholarship provides financial assistance, creates research opportunities and matches recipients with mentors in business and technology. That includes Boeing Engineering leaders who mentor the students pursuing both undergraduate and advance degrees through the Opportunity Scholarship program.

The public-private scholarship “ensures that our kids, who grew up here, have the opportunity to get a

high-tech degree,” said former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, adding that the program will enable the state’s leading companies to remain “among the best in the world.”

Mahdi Ramadan, who is using his scholarship to research applying computer technology to assist individuals with neurological disorders, told the crowd, “My dreams are scary big, but so are the dreams of thousands of individuals like me.”

Ramadan recounted how his family immigrated to the United States, when he was 11 years old, after being evacuated by U.S. Marines on a humanitarian mission during civil strife in Lebanon. The scholarship gives individuals “an opportunity to follow their dreams despite the financial limitations of their families,” the University of Washington student said.

Microsoft president Brad Smith noted Washington currently has more than 20,000 unfilled jobs in science, technology, engineering and health care.

“This program is all about empowering the next generation so they can achieve more,” Smith said. By training the next generation of researchers, engineers and technical employees, the scholarship also “solves problems for all of our companies and for the economy as a whole.”

The 777 was the first commercial jet to be 100 percent digitally designed.

When complete, the new 777x series will be the world’s largest and mostefficient, twin-engine jet.

Is the Dreamlifter the largest airplane in the world? No.

The largest airplane in the world is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya.

However, the Dreamlifter’s 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.

The new Seattle Delivery Center opens its doors to help with increasing deliveries of 737s

K

ing County executive Dow Constantine and Seattle mayor Ed Murray joined Boeing leaders and aviation students to snip the ribbon at the grand opening of the new and significantly larger Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field.

The delivery center’s newest addition is partially due to the increasing volume of 737s being built, delivered and yet to be delivered.

Over the next decade Boeing will be delivering an average of two airplanes every weekday, month-after-

month, for the foreseeable future.

“This facility is a sign of our continued commitment to the community and the Puget Sound region,” said Pat Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs.

Boeing teams with Northwest Harvest to nourish children over holiday break No child should go hungry, especially during the holidays. This is why more than 30 Boeing volunteers formed an efficient assembly line, packing nearly 1,000 backpacks full of food for low-income children to bring home to help feed their families over the holidays. Northwest Harvest fills this gap in services for low-income students who rely on school and summer meal programs and often have a tough time during these longer school breaks.

USO recognizes Boeing support for military and their families in Northwest

ach year thousands of military members and their families transit our region, often tired and in need of support. To help make their journeys easier, the USO Northwest recently opened a new welcome center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport that was made possible in part by a $335,000 grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound.

In special recognition of this and past efforts, the USO Northwest recently honored Boeing and its employees with its Order of Distinguished Service at its annual Gala and Auction in Seattle.

This award is the highest level of recognition by USO Northwest and is reserved for individuals and organizations having demonstrated exceptional service to military members and their families through sustained support of the USO Northwest.

“Military service puts a tremendous burden on our military and their families,” said Robert Malone, president of

“Military service puts a tremendous burden on our military and their families. Boeing is committed to supporting our military and honored that the company and efforts of thousands of Puget Sound employees is being recognized.”

the ECF Board of Trustees. “Boeing is committed to supporting our military and honored that the company and efforts of thousands of Puget Sound employees is being recognized.”

The United Services Organization is a nonprofit organization that lifts the spirits of America’s troops and their families millions of times each year at hundreds of places worldwide.

Boeing executives serve on USO

boards, and many employees are volunteers. Since 1996, Boeing and its employees have given more than $1.3 million to the USO through charitable grants as well as contributions through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing.

“The mission of the USO is to lift the spirits of our military and their families,” said Tami Michaels, gala chair 2015, USO board member and U.S.

The ECF is a unique, employeeowned charitable giving program. Because Boeing pays all overhead costs, 100 percent of every dollar contributed to ECF is granted to nonprofit agencies providing health and human services. ECF grants enable agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and create new programs that directly help their clients and strengthen their communities.

USO Northwest serves more than 500,000 active-duty military members and their families annually throughout Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.

In a unique contribution, Boeing donated teakwood decking from the historic battleship USS Colorado to serve as flooring of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport’s new welcome center.

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. ECF grants enable local Health & Human Service agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and build new construction that directly benefit thousands of people in need. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community nonprofits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients:

$40,000 delivers new transit van SEATTLE — Immanuel Community Services (ICS), located in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood was granted $40,000 for a new 2014 Ford Transit van for food collection and to transport clients. The agency, an independent offspring of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provides assistance to the homeless, the needy and those with drug addictions.

The new 44,000-square-foot facility will preserve care for the 7,000 patients currently provided at Neighborcare Health’s Greenwood Medical Clinic and Public Health’s North Public Health Center, and will double access to provide a health care home for at least 14,000 patients.

$259,100 grant for new Meridian Center for Health

SEATTLE — Neighborcare Health was granted $259,100 toward the purchase of dental chairs and furnishings for its low-income dental clinic located at the new Meridian Center for Health in north Seattle.

Neighborcare Health is Seattle’s largest provider of community-based primary medical and dental care, serving 52,000 individuals through 26 medical, dental and school-based clinics.

$25,000 grant allows for needed renovations

$32,000 for ARC KING COUNTY — A $32,000 grant was awarded to ARC of King County for two 2012 Honda Civics to support the 50+ clients in its Supported Living Program. These two additional vehicles, — one focused for needs in the Eastside and the other for South King County — will solve scheduling problems for clients and open up opportunities for timely and safe transportation. Since 1936, the ARC of King County has provided services and advocacy for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

WHITE CENTER — Westside Baby, located in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, was funded $25,000 for renovations to its bathrooms and staircase to meet ADA codes and make the distribution center more accessible to clients and volunteers.

More than 120 local social service agencies, including shelters and food banks, rely upon Westside Baby to provide critical necessities for low-income families. In 2014, they distributed more than 1 million free diapers along with 826 car seats, 267 cribs and clothing for infants and children up to size 12.

$40,000 grant for campus improvements REDMOND — Together Center was granted $40,000 for exterior renovations and paint for four buildings at its direct service campus located in Redmond. More than 37,000 residents and their families use the services at the campus each year. Twenty independent health and human service agencies offer medical and dental care, overnight shelter for youth, low-income housing and homelessness assistance, mental health counseling, therapeutic programs for disabilities, child care support and much more.

THANK YOU VIETNAM WAR VETERANS FOR YOUR SERVICE AND THE SACRIFICES YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES HAVE MADE. Many of the troops who returned home from Vietnam at the end of the war were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts had received. Now is the time for the citizens of Washington state to undo that disservice done to our Vietnam veterans many years ago.

Join us in taking part in the Vietnam Veterans 50th Anniversary Commemoration, a national initiative to thank and honor Vietnam veterans a half century after the Gulf of Tonkin incident. The commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families.

Mount Si Wrestling

Looking to state

Cedarcrest Wrestling

Youth and heart on their side

Mount Si wrestling squad has great season potential

After a strong 2014 season, the Mount Si High School wrestling team is looking to improve over their third-place ranking in the region.

Tony Schlotfeldt, head coach of the wrestling team, said the team is strong this year and could improve over the last year’s results.

“I think the team is competitive. There is no reason they can’t compete with the teams in our league if we are working hard enough and confident,” Schlotfeldt said. “In the region we placed third last year, so we would like to preserve that tradition and step up.

Second would be great.

State-wise I think there is potential for five to seven kids to make it to state.

From there it’s anybody’s shot.”

Two of last season’s four state qualifiers have graduated, but returning to the team this year are Andrew Harris, senior, and Mason Marenco, junior, who both qualified.

Andrew Harris, explains a situational technique to Brennan Dalgleish and Cory Cotto at a recent Mount Si High School wrestling practice.

Also returning to the team this year are the state alternates from last season, Henry Foster, junior, and Duncan Harrison, sophomore.

Other notable names are freshman Spencer Marenco, the younger brother of Mason, who won state in a club division, as well as Jack Hamerly, junior, and Connor Holt, a sophomore.

Schlotfeldt said that because winter sports have the longest season, they really want to take the time to focus on improving individually.

“Of course we want them to win, but we also want them to improve daily and

practice, especially with the newer kids,” he said. “Can you improve on one technique in practice in neutral, one on top, and one on bottom. For the older kids that are experienced, what can you add to your arsenal to make you better. Every day we are trying to focus on something to get better. It’s not just getting in here and going through the motions.”

The team is always looking to grow and Schlotfeldt wants to encourage more kids to give it a shot.

“It’s open to everybody and we try to do our best to make it a positive experience,” he said.

Expect a transformation in the Cedarcrest High School wrestling team this season, or more of a transformation than you’ve seen so far. The team, led by coach Mark Ward, is young, but gaining in experience fast. The 13 freshmen on the team have been working hard to meet the rest of the team’s high standards, while the upperclassmen have been working to raise the bar for everyone.

Parker McBride, who took eighth place in the state tournament last year, was impressed with the dedication of the freshmen after the first practice. The junior and team captain said “Every one of them showed up the next day.”

“All the kids here, they want to become better every day,” said Jimmy Yepez, also a team captain.

“They’ve all got heart,” added Cameron Rose, the third co-captain. “They’re maybe not as experienced, but they don’t stop.”

With a work ethic like that and strong teammates to push them, even the youngest wrestlers of Cedarcrest High School are already earning Ward’s approval — “I’d feel confident to call them wrestlers now,” he said, and he’s ready to make a prediction: “We’re going to be a much different team by the end of this season.”

Mount Si Gymnastics

Ready to fly:

After a good first year in 4A, Mount Si gymnasts want to go higher With a new head coach this year, the Mount Si High School gymnastics team is ready to take on its second year in the 4A division.

Kelly Loranger, the new head coach, worked with the Issaquah High School team for seven years, before moving to North Bend where she has been at Mount SI Gymnasts Academy for five years.

“This is my first year as head coach.

Last year they did really well,” Loranger said. “They were really competitive last year and this year we have a few freshman that came in that will definitely benefit the program.”

Some of the gymnasts to watch are seniors Abby Weber, Maggie Kenow, and Amanda Antock. Other notable names include Lauren McCallum, Daisy Hartman, Samantha Holmes, and Shelby Johnson.

Maggie Kenow said that last year’s performance was quite good for their first year in 4A, but this season, the team is ready to do even better.

“We were used to winning in 3A, so we actually had quite a bit of competition last year and we did pretty good. We didn’t make it to state, but we were pretty close,” Kenow said. “So this year going into it I just think we will have a better idea of the competition and can make it farther.”

The gymnastics team has been practicing for a full week longer than the other winter sports athletes. This is because gymnastics is classified as a high risk sport, so 15 practices are required before the first meet, unlike the 10 practices for basketball and wrestling.

Because of this, Loranger said that they’ve been able to work on the difficult events to prepare for their first meet which was Dec. 3.

“I think bars is the hardest event, it’s a lot harder, especially if the girls have grown taller. So it’s harder to find your right swing, so we are just trying to get them back into bar shape,” Loranger said.

“That’s been our main focus, but everything else is just trying to get 10 girls on each event and it seems like we are ready for that.”

Before the first meet on Thursday, Abby Weber felt confident that the team could take on the challenges ahead of them.

“I feel prepared. It’s the first meet, so it will be kind of rough. But we will be able to get out all the kinks and we’ll be able to come back stronger.” Weber said.

Car prowls on the rise; Snoqualmie police advise locking doors, hiding valuables Staff Reporter

In the last month, the Snoqualmie Police Department has reported more than 40 car prowls in North Bend and Snoqualmie. Many of the target cars were left unlocked when things were stolen from them.

Most of the reported break-ins took place on the Snoqualmie Ridge and in the upper parking lot of Snoqualmie Falls Park.

Suspects have been arrested in connection with the North Bend

We’ve Got You Covered

Reach Your Constituents

car prowls but charges have not been filed.

Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist said that the simple solution is for people to be more careful when out shopping by locking cars and hiding valuables from sight.

“This is really a simple solution, make sure that your car is locked when you are out shopping,” Almquist said. “Put your presents and expensive items in your trunk or cover them.”

According to Almquist not

many people do both, but those steps will help keep your car from attracting attention from the thieves who look inside windows and try to get in.

And while these types of car prowls are more common during the holiday season, it is always important to secure your vehicle.

Almquist said from Jan. 1 to Dec. 3, 2014, Snoqualmie had 33 car prowls and North Bend had 68.

In that same time frame this year, Snoqualmie had 77 car prowls while North Bend had 57.

“This is really a simple solution, make sure your car is locked when you are out shopping.”

Capt. Nick Almquist, Snoqualmie Police Department In a news release from the city of Snoqualmie, Police Chief Steve McCulley spoke about the number of car prowls and how personal items and information could lead the thieves back a victim’s home.

“A majority of the prowls involved unlocked cars with valuables left in the car,” McCulley said. “The disturbing part is that most of the unlocked cars also had a garage door opener inside, which could allow easy access to garages and homes.”

Almquist also wanted to warn citizens of people who follow delivery trucks and steal the packages being dropped off on porches. These types of offenses need to be reported as soon as possible so no investigation time is lost.

Frog Hollow brings language arts program to homeschoolers in the Valley

By EVAN PAPPAS Staff Reporter

Persuading your parents to do something for you might be one of the hardest things to achieve as a child, but at the Frog Hollow School in Carnation, it’s part of the lesson plan.

Frog Hollow is a one-daya-week language arts program for home schoolers 7 through 12. Becca Hall, the founder and teacher at Frog Hollow, started the program in 2011 after a friend asked her to work with their son.

“My friend was home schooling her son for a year and asked if I could work with him,” Hall said.

“I thought it would be a lot more fun if there was a group of kids and that’s where the idea of the class got started.”

Hall hosts these classes every week with one class in Carnation on Wednesdays and another in Seattle on Fridays.

Hall, with a bachelor’s degree in English from Stanford and a master’s in environmental writing from the University of Montana, chose to focus her program on language arts.

The Frog Hollow School is intended to be just one part of a child’s home schooling experience and provides a different learning environment from a standard classroom experience.

“There is space for a lot more learning styles so for

kids who don’t have the kind of style where you need to sit still and listen there are a lot of other ways to learn and alternative education makes a space for all that,” Hall said.

Now Hall’s group of children are working on Convince-A-Parent persuasive essays; They use the writing skills they’ve learned to try and persuade their parents to do something for them.

“We go through ‘what do we want’ and ‘why do we want it,’” Hall said. “We listed some reasons why there might be some hesitancy about that and what are our solutions to those.

We outlined a sample and now the kids are working on their own outlines. Next week, we will turn them into actual paragraphs and revise them.”

The program also focus on other forms of writing like poems, field guides, plays, and songs. Hall’s goal is to get the children thinking about revision and editing just as much as getting the words down on the page and these different forms of writing allow her to teach that.

“Creative writing is a really great thing to focus on because mostly what you are learning in elementary school is how to spell and how to construct a sentence, you can do that whether you are writing poems, or stories,” she said. “Poetry especially is

Below: Autumn Schaub, 11, comes to Becca Hall to get help on one of her assignments before the class goes to lunch. a really fun form to work with because it’s short and kids can hear some poetry, have an idea or prompt that comes from that poem, write their poem and go back and revise it for spelling and grammar. We can do all the different parts of language arts in an hour.”

Because Hall teaches students of varying skill levels, she has designed her curriculum to be able to scale between all of her students. Using the field guide assignment as an example, Hall said the students can write a sentence or several

paragraphs based on the same subject. This allows each student to learn at his or her own pace, without holding them up to a generalized standard.

“I think its really wonderful because a lot of kids aren’t right at grade level so in a class there isn’t one line that everyone is expected to be at,” she said. “There’s just a lot more space for kids to really be where they are and learn the things they need to learn.”

The reasons children are home schooled can vary quite a bit and Hall

has seen children come in with many different backgrounds.

“I get a really broad range of home schoolers.

Kids get home schooled for all different kinds of reasons,” Hall said. “Some families move around, so school doesn’t really work with them. Some kids aren’t great fits for a traditional classroom, there are some who home school for religious reasons. Some just don’t want to have that structure in their family life.”

Because of this broad range, Hall thought that she could help fill a needed role in the Valley’s homeschooling options which include the Labyrinth home education co-op in Samammish and the Parents and Riverview Actively Delivering

Education (PARADE) program in Carnation.

“The Valley has a lot of really great support or home schooling,” Hall said.

Looking ahead, Hall said she might be able to take on a teenage class in 2016, but needs to find time to balance her teaching and her writing. For now, Hall’s focus is on the children she teaches each week.

“It’s really fun to see the kids get really excited about writing. I’ll get kids who start out with a big block against writing and then their Mom’s say ‘I have to take her flashlight away, she’s in bed writing at 10 o’clock at night!’” Hall said.

“It feels really good to be doing work that I love and the kids love and seems to be some kind of purpose in the community. It’s just satisfying.”

Dispatch reported that the home had been evacuated after a grease fire in the kitchen. The fire was believed to be out. Firefighters found the home filled with smoke. They treated the homeowner for burns on his hand and checked the twostory home for signs that the fire had extended into the rest of the building. It hadn’t, and damage was limited to the kitchen area. The fire appeared to have started on the cooktop of a gas range, then spread to the range hood, charring the cabinets and the tile backsplash.
