The room was silent as the robots started up and drove themselves across the arena, making their way to the goal. Robot number 6188 reached the goal — a bucket — drew its arm back and perfectly threw plastic figures into it. The silence was shattered with the cheers from Mount Si High School students.

School was canceled in the Snoqualmie Valley School District for two days last week as high water from the Snoqualmie River flooded streets, closing roads and knocking out power. By mid-morning Wednesday, Snoqualmie officials issued a Level 1 evacuation alert for the Mountain Avenue S.E. neighborhood near the Meadowbrook Bridge, and the Pickering Court Apartments on S.E. Northern Street.

Evacuation of homes turned out to be unnecessary, since the river crested near Snoqualmie Wednesday afternoon at just under 50,000 cubic feet per second. The greatest depth reported during the flood was more than 18 feet; flood stage near Snoqualmie is 13 feet.

There was a food-related evacuation, just not of homes. The Snoqualmie Valley Venturing Crew 115’s Christmas tree lot,

at the corner of Snoqualmie Parkway and Railroad Avenue S.E., is in the floodway, and rising water Tuesday was threatening the trees, which can’t be sold if they are contaminated with floodwater, said parent Kim Ferree.

The lot didn’t actually flood, but group leaders made the call Tuesday night to evacuate. A group of about 50 volunteers moved 300 trees out of the lot and onto the Parkway. Another 400 were hauled to safety on a truck donated by Clayton Littlejon of Northfork Enterprises.

When the water began to recede on Wednesday, another group of volunteers, including the Mount Si High School football team, helped move the trees back to the lot, in time for normal business operations on Thursday, Dec. 10.

Early this week, the city of Snoqualmie reported that flooding caused a slide on the city trail connecting Deep Creek Trail and Whitaker Trail on Snoqualmie Ridge.

The trail is impassable for a tenth of a mile.

Walkers can reach both trails via a .2-mile detour on the Preston-Snoqualmie Trail.

ROBOTS FROM 1 at the Mount Si High School Freshman Campus and ended up winning the majority of their matches that day.

Organized by Washington FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) robotics, the First Tech Challenge is a program to promote technology and programming for middle and high school students. Teams build robots to compete in challenging, objectivebased matches against other teams.

This year, two tournaments have been held at the

WWW.VALLEYRECORD.COM

Freshman Campus, hosting 15 teams each time, with the Mount Si, Chief Kanim, and Valley Robotics programs representing the Valley.

The Mount Si robotics team has worked hard to make it to this point. Kyle Warren, computer science and robotics teacher at the high school, said the team has been around for four years, but has only been competing for the last three.

“We had a year ahead of that where we formed a team, got all the pieces together, but didn’t compete because we weren’t ready.

We wanted to ease into it,” Warren said. “Last month, we had our first match of the year and finished second in our league, which

is terrific. We are certainly well suited to qualify to move on.”

Warren said they won’t receive their updated rankings until later this week, but the team ended up with three or four wins out of five matches this weekend.

Teams don’t enter the event pre-made, but are determined the morning of the tournament and swap throughout the day.

Your opponent in your first match could become your partner in your third.

“You must build and program a robot to carry out a variety of tasks in this year’s game scenario that lasts two and-a-half minutes. The first 30 seconds of the match is completely

“Once those 30 seconds are up and interim score is tallied, the referees will tell the teams they can pick up their game controllers and the remaining two minutes is all manually operated.”

After two-and-a-half minutes, the scores are tallied and the winner is declared.

The season kicks off when school starts. Microsoft hosts the unveiling event for the rules, field pieces and the complexity of the competition. From September to November, teams prepare for their first matches.

“Everything is built from square one, because we have to tailor it to the needs of that year’s particular contest. For instance, we didn’t

Cold and Flu Season

have ramps or collection bins. Those are new elements we hadn’t planned on,” Warren said. “We also have a completely new electronic control system this year.

“We will spend a couple weeks just in a conceptual design stage. Then we spend the next two months building, testing, tearing it apart, rebuilding, and doing that over and over. Even through the matches, because we learn things and we see other teams’ strengths and weaknesses and try to be flexible in response to that.”

Now the group is performing quite well in events and working as a team to design and refine their robot.

“There are 15 students here at the high school, all various ages and we will take students with all different skill levels, experience, and interest,” Warren said.

“There are some students we have had in the past who are very mechanically oriented. They are the ones who are primarily respon-

sible for building and doing repairs.

“We’ve got students who are really incredible programmers, so software is their thing. We’ve got students who do computeraided design, creating a 3-D model of custom pieces we need to have fabricated or just the entire assembled robot. Then we have managers and people who do public relations and fundraising.”

Their robot is designed as a multiphase project, meaning they are always looking at additional components to add as they go. One of the things the students have been working on is a telescopic pole that will help to push levers on the zip lines and press buttons on the beacon that draws robots to the collection bin, which are worth additional points.

In terms of price these components can add up pretty quickly, reaching over $1,000 in some cases.

“Field pieces are around $600, the robot itself can range from about $600 to $1,000 depending on how much gear you have. Luckily software is free, so that’s a good thing,” Warren said.

“This year was the first year we felt we needed a color sensor which was a new part they had to learn about and figure out how to incorporate into our design.

Every year there are new purchases and new registration fees and so on.”

Warren said the team would like to find sponsors.

“The team is always looking for local individual and business partners to sponsor them so they can afford the materials, registration cost, and sometimes the travel fees and to make sure they have as rich an experience as possible.”

Valley farmers approve WID by 94 percent

Voters in the Lower Snoqualmie Valley overwhelmingly approved the first irrigation district in the Valley, Snoqualmie Valley Watershed Improvement District, in November and the Metropolital King County Council approved its formation Dec. 7.

Irrigation districts are empowered to address a wide range of water-related issues facing agricultural landowners such as irrigation water rights, water supply, and agricultural drainage. To promote a comprehensive approach, state law has been modified over the years to allow these districts to address other watershed management issues, such as habitat restoration and water quality.

“For agriculture to thrive in the Snoqualmie Valley, landowners know they must work cooperatively to make better use of our limited water supply,” said Snoqualmie Valley Preservation Alliance

“The election results show that we are an active agricultural community with a desire to work together to address our challenges,” said EricksonBrown, who received the highest number of votes for commissioner.

The district represents roughly 300 property owners and about 14,000 acres in the Snoqualmie Valley and county Agricultural Production District.

“It’s great to see the farmers continue working and gaining better access to tools for solving the resource management issues they face,” said Councilmember Kathy Lambert.

The district board will announce meetings, on its Web page, www.svpa.us/watershedimprovement-district.

Tall Chief site sold to Valley dairy family

By CAROL LADWIG Editor

The 191-acre Fall City property that had been Tall Chief Golf Course until 2009, has been sold. In a 6-2 vote of the Metropolitan King County Council Dec. 7, the group agreed to the sale, for $720,000, to Steve and Janet Keller of Fall City.

According to the proposal the Keller family submitted for the property during the proposal process in 2014, the Kellers plan to grow feed crops for their dairy cattle, to build greenhouses on the hillside above the floodplain and sublease

those to area farmers, to save the existing buildings, if possible, and build farm worker housing.

Long-term, they propose a milk-processing plant on the land, and possibly a barn and other farm buildings.

The terms of the sale allow the family to build up to three houses, each of which is allowed an accessory dwelling unit. One housing unit is specified in the agreement and two more can be purchased for an additional $160,000 and $105,000.

Only one amendment to the agreement, requiring specific standards for the treatment of livestock on the property, was approved and added to the sales contract.

The Tall Chief Golf Course sign marks the entry to the 191-acre property that King County purchased in 2013 with the intention of returning it to farm production. the site has been sold to Steve and Janet Keller, Valley dairy farmers.

Most of the amendments proposed for inclusion into the sales agreement failed.

These included amendments to:

Tribe sues city for discrimination The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe on Wednesday, Dec. 9, filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing city of Snoqualmie leaders of “intentional race discrimination” against the tribe.

The 19-page lawsuit claims discrimination by Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson, members of the Snoqualmie City Council and city staff. Named defendants include six Councilman and one taking office in January.

“It’s a discrimination lawsuit against the city based on the actions and rhetoric that’s coming from the city officials,” said Snoqualmie Tribe spokesman Jerry Lamb. He said information on specific instances of discrimination “will be forthcoming through the court process.”

The complaint, according to a Snoqualmie Tribe press release, is about action taken by the the Snoqualmie City Council to discontinue sewer services to the tribe’s Snoqualmie Casino, as well as police and fire services.

RED OAK The warmth of a small town... the comfort of a small community.

Come by for a Tour!

• Allow only one additional housing unit and ban accessory dwelling units; • Restrict farm worker housing, which does not fall

under the same restrictions as residential units; • Require the land be used for agricultural purposes — the current agreement only

“Without sewer services, the casino will be forced to close indefinitely, threatening the tribe’s ability to offer core governmental programs and services to its tribal members,” the lawsuit stated.

According to the complaint, the city entered a seven-year agreement in 2004 to provide “essential services,” starting when the casino opened in 2008, but did not specify whether the tribe would pay in-city rates. In 2014, the complaint said, the city started charging the casino out-of-city rates, 1.5 times higher than the in-city residential rate it had been paying.

Both parties met in July 2015 to discuss continuing the agreement, which expired in November. The city, according to the complaint, requested the tribe provide funding for human services needs at the city in exchange for extending the contract. The tribe refused and both parties agreed to a one-year extension in October. Next, the lawsuit said the city notifed the tribe it would end sewer services within the year.

“Essentially, the tribe is trying to protect a business which is a huge and vital part of the local economy,” Lamb said. “The suit is aimed at enforcing the existing agreements.”

Since termination of services includes police and fire, the tribe negotiated a contract with Eastside Fire & Rescue in October and notified the city that it would cancel its contract for emergency medical services effective in 2016.

Snoqualmie officials objected, since terms of the agreement require one year’s notice for either party to cancel any part of it.

A spokesperson for the city said “The city has not been served with the Snoqualmie Tribe’s lawsuit, and is not in a position to comment.”

Snoqualmie’s City Council was expected to discuss the issue Dec. 14.

The complaint filed by the tribe requests an admission from the city that it has discriminated against the tribe, declarations that it intends to continue provideing sewer services to the tribe, and an unspecified “award of actual, compensatory and punitive damages to be proven at trial.”

Two other proposals were submitted for the Tall Chief property, from Seattle Tilth and from the Valley flower-growing Kou Oh and Phong Cha family, during the county’s request for proposals period last year.

Critics of the sale claimed that the Tilth proposal for an incubator farm program was superior; however, neither of the other two parties in the proposal process had funding lined up, nor did they require such large sites, county officials said. Also, they said proceeds from the Tall Chief sale could be used to purchase land for the other proposals.

FBI looks into NB bank robbery On Wednesday, Dec. 9, at around 5:45 p.m., the Bank of America branch at 128 Bendigo Blvd. S., North Bend, reported a robbery.

A thin Caucasian or Hispanic man, 5’6”, wearing a black jacket with hoody, sunglasses and purple latex gloves entered the bank and demanded money. The suspect left the bank on foot, westbound, with an unknown amount of cash.

Officers from Issaquah, Bellevue K-9, King County Sheriff and King County’s Guardian One helicopter assisted with searching for the suspect. It was determined that he had a vehicle nearby and fled the scene.

A joint FBI task force, the Seattle Safe Streets Task Force, has taken over the investigation. According to a spokeswoman for the task force, the organization “investigates bank robberies across the wider Seattle area, particularly when the subject may have robbed multiple times across the jurisdiction of multiple police departments.”

No other information about the suspect is provided.

Location: The site is on SE Park St between Schusman Ave SE and Meadowbrook Way SE, and includes the following tax parcels: # 785120-0075 (“Crabb”); # 785120-0070 (“Porterfield”); # 785120-0060 (“Stone”); and # 785120-0040 (“Thompson”).

Threshold Determination:After review of the environmental checklist, the City of Snoqualmie (lead agency for the proposal) has determined pursuant to RCW 43.21C.240 that the proposal is unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. An environmental impact statement is therefore not required under RCW 42.21.030(2)(c).

This decision was made after review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the City.

This information is available to the public on request. This DNS is issued under WAC 197-11340; the lead agency will not act on these proposals for 14 days from the date of publication, allowing time for public comment.

Comments on the Threshold Determination: If you would like to comment on this Threshold Determination, written comments should be sent to PO Box 987, Snoqualmie WA, 98065, Attn: Nicole Sanders, Associate Planner, by December 30, 2015, at 5:00pm. The City will not take final action on this proposal until after the end of the comment period.

The issuance of this DNS should not be interpreted as acceptance or approval of this proposal as presented. The City of Snoqualmie reserves the right to deny or approve said proposal subject to conditions if it is determined to be in the best interest of the City and/or necessary for the general health, safety, and welfare of the public. This DNS may be appealed, pursuant to WAC 19711-680.

Mount Si Wrestlers place eighth at tournament Over the weekend, Mount Si High School sent its wrestling squad to Centralia for a tournament. Despite being short some key team members, the Wildcats placed eighth in the 20-plus team event and seven varsity wrestlers scored for the day.

Brennan Dalgleish, wrestling at 220 pounds, took second place in the tournament. Taking third place were: Duncan Harrison, 138; Mason Marenco, 160; and Kurtis Olson, 170.

Other varsity wrestlers to place included Kalin Riley,

106; Conor Holt, 145 and Corey Seaman, 182.

Several junior varsity wrestlers also competed and placed. David Rice, 182, took second place and Shane Moses, 145 and Tomas Perez, 182 both took third.

Kinsey Steskal took first place in the girls wrestling competition at 115.

Earlier in the week, the team competed against Redmond and Issaquah in a dual at Issaquah. The team won over Redmond, 40 to 36, but lost to Issaquah, 24 to 39.

Local family hoping for organ donor for holidays All Toni Ellington wants for the holidays is a kidney donor for her son, Aaron Douglas, 48, of Snoqualmie Pass.

“He’s my only son, and has an only son of his own to care for,” Ellington said.

Douglas, who has been on dialysis at home for the past four years, is being treated by the University of Washington Kidney Center, but the prognosis is that a donor is needed.

“I retired early to be here for support and to do all I possibly can to help save my son’s life,” Ellington said. She added that she would donate her own kidney, but the doctor’s have ruled out her donation due to her own medical issues.

“If there is anyone out there that is or has thought of making such

a gift – the gift of life –we would be eternally grateful,” Ellington said.

Douglas owned Cycle Path Bike and Board in North Bend during the 90s through 2004.

He went to school in Enumclaw before opening the business. His son attends school in Issaquah.

“I am following my heart with this request to the public,” Ellington said. “This would give a second chance for my son, as well as for my grandson. Time is getting short. We have to have faith that a donor is out there.”

Anyone interested in being a donor for Douglas can contact the UW Living Kidney Program. http://www. uwmedicine.org/services/ kidney/liv ing-kidneydonor.

Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots.

He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging. This friendly guy would love to meet you!
