King County dumping free Cedar Falls service

to cut the budgetBY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter

Recycling is easy, for most people in the Valley. Plastic blue bins for depositing plastic, glass, paper, and metal are part of the landscape, anywhere you’d find a trash can, and every commercial trash hauler in the county will pick up recycling right off your curb, if you ask them to.

For the rest, recycling is not exactly hard—those who don’t get curbside col-lection can still haul their recyclables to a collection site—but it is about to get harder. King County will close its free recycling col-lection sites at most solid waste transfer stations on We d n e s d ay, Feb. 1, includ-ing North Bend’s Cedar Falls facility.

Moment of truth arrives for joint city-Y venture on Snoqualmie Ridge

BY SETH TRUSCOTTEditor

Shoes have been kicked off and board games are on the table on this lazy January afternoon.

The trio of teens, Cali Rose, Ellie Miller and Allie Murphy, laugh as they play “Buzzword, then switch to “Apples to Apples.”

“That one made me think too much,” said Miller, who’d rather just hang out.

The atmosphere is relaxed, but these girls aren’t at home. They’re regulars at the teen center at the Snoqualmie Community Center and Valley YMCA, which quietly opened January 1 and with a grand-opening bang on Saturday, Jan. 21.

The three girls have been coming here since day one, dabbling in games and bouts of ping pong, but mostly coming to see each other.


Founding director of the new Snoqualmie Community Center and Y, Dave Mayer doesn’t hesitate to shoot a few hoops or engage visitors. Mayer is responsible for get-ting the center off to a strong start.

slated for shutdown

“I get bored sometimes at home,” Rose said. Since mom doesn’t like her wander-ing Snoqualmie, she comes here, where the teens play under the supervision of YMCA teen program director Stacy Holdren.

The teen center is open to any youth in grades 6 to 10, regardless of whether they are Y members. While staffed by the YMCA, the teen area is part of the Snoqualmie Community Center, one of several facets where the Y and center blur together.

Breaking the moldThe new Snoqualmie Y breaks the mold

in several ways. It’s a joint city-Y ven-ture, reclaiming a YMCA legacy that last-ed for decades at the lost community of Snoqualmie Falls. It’s a community center within a Y—that’s why teens like Holdren’s card-playing trio can attend even if they aren’t members.

The boundaries between the Y and the community center are fuzzy, and there’s a reason for that, says Gwen Voelpel, parks director for the city of Snoqualmie.

“It’s been a growing-together process,” Voelpel said. “They’re one and the same.”

“So many words about what a community center means, is what the Y means as well,” said Dave Mayer, the founding director of the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA. “Our job is to create healthy lives. That’s what a com-munity center would be doing, too.”

Boosters say this place will change the Valley by becoming a gathering point, a local hub. The full name of the Y’s local identity is the “Snoqualmie Valley YMCA,” and it’s meant to live up to the name through Valley-spanning activities like the group hiking classes that start in February.

“They’re bigger than just the building,” Voelpel said.

With the city as building owner, the Y is the operator and maintainer of a master schedule, running center-specific programs like a teen center and a community meet-ing room. Reflecting that, at Snoqualmie, unlike other Ys, there is no gate to halt visi-tors at the reception desk.

Voelpel says the center is already a com-munity hub. On Friday, Jan. 6, 50 fami-lies camped on blankets and sleeping bags to watch a movie on the gym wall. Last Tuesday, 45 teens transformed the gym into a dodgeball battleground. Now, the Y’s after-school programs are converging here.

“When you see families coming together, see families meeting people that they some-how have never met before, it’s already fulfill-ing that vision… as a centerpiece,” Voelpel said. “I’m interested in seeing how that gives kids avenues to explore and grow.”

Cost and sizeThe path to a new center has led past three

failed votes. The $4 million, 13,000-square-foot center is a trimmed-down version of the vision put before Snoqualmie voters in 2002, 2006 and 2008. Those bond measures, which would have built a bigger center and pool, each time failed to garner a supermajor-ity vote. The city then voted to go it alone, choosing the YMCA as an operating partner and setting aside $950,000 of reserves for construction. Other funding came from the Snoqualmie Tribe, Ridge builders Quadrant, Murray Franklyn and Pulte, the Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company, and from Puget Western.

Besides the initial donation, the tribe has made a $100,000 annual commitment from its mitigation and social services fund to pay for operations.

The Y has a goal of 900 membership units—individual, couple and family memberships—for its first year. Snoqualmie Valley YMCA had 418 units on Dec. 31, and about 520 today.

Here they comeMembership representative

Bre Fowler had her hands full Tuesday evening, scanning members while touting the facility to newcomers.

“Around 7 o’clock, we get a mad rush,” Fowler said. “It was going out the door. That was the craziest I’ve seen it.”

The most common ques-tion she answers: “What are the activities for 9-to-10-year-old kids?”

On Wednesday afternoon, youths and families steadily approach Fowler’s desk. Mount Si High School seniors Sean Ballsmith, Tyler Young and Dustin Dirks walked in to pick up applications. The boys live on the Ridge, and want to lift weights, work out and play basketball in the offseason.

In the next room, Snoqualmie Ridge residents Barry Ferner, who was lifting 25-pound hand weights, and Joel Erne, on the treadmill, both joined for family reasons. They switched gyms from Issaquah and Snoqualmie, respectively, and while both men said they’d prefer to see a bigger facility, they were sold on the variety of options for all ages.

“It’s something for everybody,” Ferner said.

Y programs are fluid right now, but will firm up soon. Mayer points to the comment card at the front desk as a way to fine-tune offerings.

“We’re encouraging as many comments as possible,” he said.

Coming togetherDuring a tour of the gym,

Mayer stopped for a moment to snatch a rolling basket-ball, then sunk a hoop on his first throw. His second went wide, though.

Self-described as “the bus-iest guy on the planet, having the time of my life,” Mayer has been balancing the act of getting the community center/Y up and running with face time, leading tours and meeting new members.

“Obviously, there are e-mails to go through, but I’d rather be out, walking around,” he said.

As the last clocks and coat-hooks go up, the completion of the long-anticipated vision sinks in. Mayer excitedly goes over the plans for the grand opening and beyond—unveiling of a large mobile statue out front, a future fire-warmed plaza outside—and points out the first commu-nity group, the Northwest Railway Museum board, now ranged along a table in the community activity room.

“What’s cool is seeing people come into the build-ing, so excited about what

they’re seeing,” Mayer said. “Seeing every-thing the community envisioned…it’s been cool to see that come into reality.”

OPENING DAY ARRIVES FOR SNOQUALMIE YMCA


Only three sites, Snoqualmie Pass, Vashon, and Skykomish, will con-tinue the service. Residents in all other areas of the county can subscribe to a recycling collection ser-vice, or drive the greater distance to the free recy-cling centers.

The change, announced on the solid waste website and on posters at trans-fer stations starting in December, should save the county about $400,000 annually, says Doug Williams, spokesperson for King County’s Department of Natural Resources and Solid Waste Division. The county does not have a recycling center, but con-tracts for services with private facilities, including ones owned by Allied Waste and Waste Management. In addition, the county pays to transport the materials from the transfer stations.

Meanwhile, 99 percent of county residents already have access to recycling col-lection services, according to the Frequently Asked Questions about the closure on King County’s website (your.kingcounty.gov/solid-waste/facilities/cedar-trans-fer.asp?ID=347). Recycling collection will continue at the Snoqualmie Pass, Vashon and Skykomish transfer stations, since curb-side recycling collection is not available to those resi-dents.

“We’re trying to elimi-

nate a redundant service,” Williams said. “Obviously we’ve been in tough bud-get straits for a while and a $400,000 reduction is fairly significant. It’s a good-sized chunk of money that we’re able to absorb into the solid waste services.”

As the King County Council went into the 2012 budget process in October, forecasts indicated a $20 million shortfall, the fourth consecutive year of lower-than-expected revenues. In November, the council approved a $5.2 billion bud-get, with a $655 million gen-eral fund balance. For 2011, the budget totaled $5.1 bil-lion, with $621 million in the general fund, and for

2010, it was $5 billion, with $629 million in the general fund.

Recycling is still encour-aged throughout the county, Williams said. King County has contracts with three

companies, Allied Waste, Cleanscapes, and Waste Management, each of which is required to offer curbside recycling services.

“Our hope is that the 99 percent of folks with the ability to, do so sign up for the residential curbside recycling,” he said.

That hope was echoed by spokespeople for Allied Waste, which currently serves Snoqualmie, Fall City and parts of North Bend, and Waste Management, which serves Carnation, and will start service in Snoqualmie June 1.

“We hope people will sign up for service,” said Anne Laughlin of Allied. “They’ve got other things to do with

North Bend resident Brian Mauhl drops off a load of cardboard at the Cedar Falls transfer station’s public recycling bins. Mauhl uses the facility roughly once per month, sometimes more, in addition to his home curbside bin. With a pending closure, he is among users who would forced to take his extra recyclables elsewhere. King County says the excess can be handled through curbside recycling.

RECYCLE FROM 1their time than go to the transfer station.”

Allied and Waste Management each oper-ate their own high-tech facilities to process recy-clable materials within the county (Cleanscapes con-tracts with national recy-cler RockTenn, which has a presence in Renton), and each is committed to han-dling recyclable materials as a resource.

As a company we used to invest in landfills,” said Robin Freedman, of Waste Management. “In 2007, we took a hard look at the future, and made a very conscious decision to take the company in a different direction.”

Now, Waste Management is building recycling facili-ties across the country, and positioning itself as not just a waste management facility, but also a materi-als management company, Freedman said.

“We believe that waste is no longer waste and is a valuable resource.”

Neither company’s recycling center is open for public use, but King County lists Allied’s Seattle facility, 2733 Third Ave. South, on its Alternative Recycling Options flyer, available at the Cedar Falls transfer station.

Warrior Dash charges back to North Bend

Registration is open for the mud-crawling fire-jumping obstacle race, the Warrior Dash, which returns to North Bend July 21 and 22.

North Bend first hosted the two-day event last year, bringing in 24,000 par-ticipants July 16 and 17, snarling traffic, and creat-ing money-making oppor-tunities for enterprising groups who ran parking concessions, among other options. It was the first venue in Washington for the race, produced by Red Frog Events.

This year, another Washington venue, Battle Lake, has been added to the race schedule. Overall, the Warrior Dash will visit more than 40 sites in the U.S., British Columbia, and the United Kingdom.

Cost of registration is $65 for Saturday or $55 for Sunday, now through May 27. After that date, the cost increases $10. Registration deadline is July 9. To reg-ister, visit warriordash.com/register2012_washington.php.

Closure of Cedar Falls recycling is decision some will regret

When I moved to the Valley a couple of years ago, the ease of the blue bin

was one of the things I bade farewell. Without curbside service at my new place, recycling now required the drive up to Rattlesnake Lake and the county Cedar Falls Transfer Station.

Many’s the time I procrastinated on that trip, hardly relishing a half-hour trek just to dump my bulging container of tin and paper. During all the cold, wet win-ter and spring of 2011, one bin turned into two, then three. I was sorely tempt-ed to chuck the lot into the trash, but my wife—a die-hard rec ycler—and her fierce, no-nonsense reaction prevented this lazy step.

Instead, like that woman in the Pemco Insurance commercial, I duly sorted and stacked, bagging the soda bottles sepa-rately from the cardboard, then made the windy trip out through the verges of North Bend to the row of big blue bins, where I carted and tossed. I’d pop on the iPod, and crisscross that rainswept stretch of asphalt at Cedar Falls, dump-ing my sacks of cardboard, all the while taking in the sights. Over here was a row of glass art sculptures placed there by some aesthetically-minded attendant. I wondered about the lives behind the recyclables—the wine enthusiasts and

magazine subscribers whose leavings filled the bins.

When I was 18 years old, I worked in a campus recycling station, and talk about a Sisyphean task—I still remem-ber the smell of stale beer cans and wet paper. Sorting those bulging bins of paper or stacks of cans was a tough, dirty job. Yet, technology keeps improv-ing the process. Home recycling options keep getting cheaper, and more and more stuff can be recycled these days. Overall, it’s a steadily improving picture for most of us.

At the same time, though, we are losing our last free public bins. Today, Cedar Falls is the Valley’s last and only public recycling facility—there are no other public bins in Snoqualmie, North Bend or Carnation. The county plans to eliminate five of its eight recycling sites on February 1, on the grounds that closures save $400,000 a year.

I now have curbside recycling, and am lucky to be able to chuck those cereal boxes and magazines into a blue bin just

a few steps away. I don’t miss the drive to Cedar Falls, but, just like our lost polling places, abandoned for all-mail voting, I am chagrined at the vanishing of our public recycling places. These were vis-ible, if messy, spaces of purpose, where you could bump elbows with neighbors who share your values.

Anyone who’s ever lived on the fringes of a community understands the impor-tance of the recycling station. It’s hardly Starbucks or the Sallal Grange, but it is a gathering point of another sort.

We recycle for the same reason that we give to charity, join a community organization or help our neighbors: We’re trying to leave a more positive than negative footprint in our commu-nity. Recyclers understand that every act has a cost, and that if we stop, if we all get lazy, we will all pay a price—in more expensive goods, in bigger, more costly landfills, and in a denuded earth.

The closure of Cedar Falls leaves no nearby alternative for free recycling. Now, it’s pay to play. The county says this

move will reduce pollution by eliminat-ing trips to Cedar Falls. But will that be offset by folks driving on to Snoqualmie Pass, the nearest remaining station? And will folks stop recycling because they don’t want to pay for it? What happens to their waste?

In an era of county and state budget crisis, this is one more sign of the times. The old methods of funding things like recycling don’t work anymore, so the costs of services are getting passed to people in new ways. Needs must when the devil drives, but for those who relied on the old model and made it a part of their way of life, this change is a dis-service.

A done deal, the decision was also a mite low-profile, announced by signs and an alert on the King County Solid Waste webpage. How often do you go to the Solid Waste web page? But com-ments are being accepted. If you use these bins and want them to stay, call the Solid Waste division at (206) 296-4466 or visit your.kingcounty.gov/solidwaste.

We still need the blue bins

SETH TRUSCOTTValley Record Editor


Keep Cedar Falls transfer station open

The plan for closing the Cedar Falls Recycling Center at the end of this month has just come to my attention.

In February, we will no longer be able to take our recyclables there.

This has happened so quickly and so quietly, except for one small sign inside the King County Recycling Center, that one may assume that the public’s input may not have been welcomed. It hasn’t been in any paper that I’ve noticed. There isn’t another place close that we can take our recyclables to, and I feel this would be a great disservice to the Valley, not to mention adding all that to our land-fills, just when we’ve been convinced that recycling is good for our environment.

I have sent an email to Dow Constantine’s office, www.kingcounty.gov, phone

number (206) 263-9600 and (ask) all the folks in the Valley who think this ser-vice is a valuable one, to also contact Mr. Constantine’s office.

At the very least, there should be a conversation regarding the closing.

Another way to control the Snoqualmie elk herd

If the Snoqualmie Valley wants to be on the cut-ting edge of elk manage-ment practices, then why not consider the alternative herd control methods tried by our neighboring areas?

The Seattle Times recent-ly reported that the Toutle River Valley successfully relocated 50 elk to the Nooksack Valley. Toutle officials there coordinated with two helicopters and volunteers on the ground to herd the animals into a corral and then transport them to other areas.

The city of Sequim recently received a state grant to fit their elk with GPS collars with “virtual fence” capability. When alerted, volunteers will be called on to drive the offending elk away from designated areas.

Sequim is also seeking funds by the Legislature to purchase high fences that will protect sensitive areas.If relocation of some of our Valley elk isn’t feasible, why not consider the proven immunocontraception vac-cination, which uses PZP proteins to surround and block sperm from reaching the unfertilized egg?

According to the Humane Society of the United States, this contraceptive was developed more than three decades ago and can

be administered by hand or in a dart, and it lasts two or more years.

Also, time-released pel-lets can be given to simu-late annual boosters. This vaccine has reportedly been used to successfully reduce the deer popula-tions on Fire Island, N.Y., wild horse populations in the west and wild elk in Point Reyes, Calif.

If you think our elk herds need to be reduced by hunting, consider the article “Shots in the Dark,” (Valley Record, 12-20-2011). Valley Record Editor Seth Truscott suspects approximately 150 elk go missing yearly, from natu-ral causes, road kills, pre-dation or poachers. With an estimated Valley popu-lation of 400 animals, this represents a 40 per cent loss of our elk population, annually!

Recognizing that elk are a real problem in our Valley, however, I believe that we must learn how to co-habitate with these magnificent animals—not kill them.

If you agree that we need a better plan, contact your local officials and conser-vation groups about setting up a relocation or immuni-zation program.

Firefighters had help on Santa Operation

The Fall City Fire Department would like to thank everyone who sup-ported Operation Santa this year.

We as a community were able to help 12 local families, in the area that we serve and protect, that were in need of a little extra help. Thank you to the community members who took tags off the tree at the Farmhouse Market, purchased gifts and then returned them, wrapped, to the fire station.

Thank you to the local businesses and organizations that donated food, tooth-brushes, toys and money. To Local 2878, thank you for donating $500, which was matched by local busi-

nesses and community members.

The collective money was used to meet the needs of each family and we were able to include a large box of food as well. We could not have made this hap-pen without the help and support of the community and cannot say “thank you” enough for your support.

We look forward to this event next year and for years to come. We hope you have a great New Year and stay safe.

Cedarcrest FFA club sends two to state job interview competition

BY KATIE WALSHContributing Writer

Four Cedarcrest High School FFA members took part in the Job Interview Competition on Dec. 5 in Lynden.

Lauren Labrosse, Connor Clancy, AJ Schutte and Katie Birum, spent hours perfecting their resumes and cover letters, answer-ing tough questions, and learning the correct format of writing a proper thank-you letter.

“The Job Interview Competition is really fun and helps me to prepare for career interviews in my future,” said Labrosse, a senior.

Students who place in the top five move on to the state level. Clancy and Labrosse con-sistently impressed the judges, and placed in the top five. The State FFA Competition will take place in Pullman, in early May.

Cedarcrest is the only school in Western Washington to have two students moving on to the state level.

“These students should be quite proud of themselves” said Cedarcrest FFA Advisor, Sarah Thomas.

Students representing Mt. Vernon, Burlington, Lynden, Lynden Christian, Ferndale, Meridian, and Arlington were all tough competitors.

Katie Walsh is a Cedarcrest student and reporter for FFA.

What is the FFA?Future Farmers of America is a national program, founded in 1928 to prepare future generations of students for the challenges of feeding a growing population.

Parents get the opportunity to meet face-to-face with teachers and administrators from many different schools and other orga-nizations, all in one morning and in one place. Many schools begin their open enrollment periods shortly after the January fair.

Every participating family receives a resource guide listing dozens of schools, daycares and enrich-ment organizations in the area. Child-friendly activities and demonstrations will entertain the younger set.

With help from Sellers’ sharpshooting, Mount Si hopes to start clicking

BY SETH TRUSCOTTEditor

Sensing the opening in the press of players is an instinct that comes with time and experience.

For Mount Si junior Molly Sellers, that instinct is coming into sharp focus.

“I look for my shots,” said Sellers, who has emerged as the Wildcats’ main sharpshooter, averaging 11 points per game in Mount Si’s last seven contests and frequently doing duty as the team’s leading scorer.

“I know I can make them,” she said.A travel club player in the off season, Sellers came in with

a seven-day-a-week training regimen to improve skills in her focus sport this season. She’s played team ball since seventh grade, following in the footsteps of her sister Shelby, who also played at Mount Si. As such, she is the go-to girl on the outside for the Wildcats, and frequently delivers, though she’s still hon-ing her game.

Now, she’s working on the timing of shots, and like others on her team, wants to perfect Wildcat basketball, balancing strengths and weaknesses.

“I want to see us play together as a team,” Sellers said. “Winning, know-ing at the end of the game we played our hardest, we went 110 percent, we played the full game.”

Interlake lossSellers led Mount

Si scorers with nine on Wednesday, Jan. 11, in Mount Si’s home league loss to Interlake, 35-47. The first period ended with Mount Si up by one, 9-8, but the Saints got into passing gear in the second. The scoreboard told the tale: The Wildcats were 20-23 at the half, down nine, 26-37, at the end of the third quarter. Interlake senior Aspen Winegar led all scorers with 16 points.

Cedarcrest boys top Sultan, get ready for conference leadersBY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter

In the midst of an intense game schedule that saw Cedarcrest play three games last week, the Red Wolves hosted the Sultan Turks Wednesday, Jan. 11, for a traditionally scrappy game between the two.

“Sultan always plays pretty tough, though,” said 6’1” senior Tanner Marty who had a notewor-thy game for the Red Wolves, with 11 points, 9 rebounds and a blocked shot for the night.

About his strong performance, Marty said “I just didn’t worry about it,” but added, “Every game right now is pretty much a playoff game for us.”

Cedarcrest defeated Sultan 67 to 53, with well-dis-tributed scoring from nine players, led by Zach Taylor

with 18 points, Marty with 11, Hunter Lee with 9, Nick Cardon with eight, Justin Houser with seven including the three-pointer that started the scoring, Chris Dowd and Jordan Corpus with five each, and Tyler Reeves and John Soule with two each.

“You’ve got to give it to Liberty—they shot the ball pretty well,” Mount Si coach Megan Botulinski said.

Opportunities just didn’t manifest Wednesday night for the ‘Cats. Sellers said the team wasn’t clicking like they normally do.

Mount Si must be among the top four teams to host a home KingCo playoff game, a goal for the coach.

“We’re still in that spot with that loss tonight,” Botulinski said.

The coach praised freshman Elizabeth Prewitt, who again came off the bench hard.

“She does what we ask her to,” Botulinski said.

With Mount Si moving against rivals like Mercer Island, the Wildcats hope to renew that “clicking.”

“We need to bring it to them,” Sellers said. “We just need to play our game.”

On Wednesday, Jan. 18, Mount Si hosts Interlake. Game time is 7:30 p.m. On Friday, Mount Si is at Lake Washington, game time is 6:30 p.m.

Members of the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club, pictured here at their Ferndale tourna-ment in December, took second there, then went on to take first as a team at the Steelclaw tournament in Sedro Wooley.

Wrestling club taking over at tourneysSnoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club is garnering plenty of heavy metal this winter.The club team took first at the Sedro-Wolley Steelclaw Tournament, held Sunday, Dec. 11.

Thirty-three young club members took part, winning several first-, second- and third-place medals. Several teammates just missed out on medals, but wrestled the best of their careers. For some, it was their first tournament.

The club took second in the Ferndale tournament, held Dec. 4.Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club teaches fundamentals and advanced skills to boys and girls

ages 5 to 14. No prior experience is needed. Club members have the opportunity for matches and tournaments with other clubs and wrestlers of similar ages, weights and experience.

The club participates in the Western Washington Kids Wrestling League, which is dedicated to novice wrestlers with two years or less of experience. Wrestlers with more experience can wrestle at USA Wrestling tournaments.

Parent volunteers play a big role in the club’s success. Coach Misti Marenco said parents and coachers worked long hours to make the tournament a success. You can learn more about the club at its website, www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=svwrestlingclub.

Prince was happy that his athletes were able to play their game. “We play an aggressive, fouling offense,” he said.

Cedarcrest made 17 fouls during the game, to Sultan’s 18, so “I thought we were pretty well-balanced,” Prince said. “But we put (Sultan’s

Brock VandenEckart) on the line too much.”

A 6’3” junior, VandenEkart made 12 of his 15 free throws during the game, scoring 28 points overall.

Both teams were 4-3 in the Cascade Conference, following the Cedarcrest win Wednesday, and Cedarcrest’s overall record was 8-5. The Red Wolves

travelled to bottom-ranked Coupeville Friday, and will face the top two-ranked teams in the conference next week. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, they host Archbishop Murphy, 4-3 in the con-ference and 5-7 overall, in what’s expected to be a packed house, and on Friday, they host Kings, ranked 7-0 in the confer-ence, 11-2 overall.

Jodi Fletcher takes seat on Riverview school board

Jodi Fletcher was elected and seated on the Riverview School Board.

Fletcher has been a Valley resident for 11 years. She has two sons attending school in Riverview. Through the years, her sons have attended Cherry Valley Elementary, Eagle Rock Multi-Age, the PAT Program, Tolt Middle School and Cedarcrest High School.

Fletcher’s professional background includes work-ing in the human relations field for Walt Disney Feature Animation, as a relocation specialist, and administra-tive work for Industrial Light and Magic. She said she was fortunate to have the opportunity to be a full-time stay-at-home mom when her sons were born, as

this allowed her the time to volunteer in their schools, and with community orga-nizations such as Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center and the YMCA Youth Campaign.

With regard to her new role as school board director, she said, “I will admit, that I have much to learn stepping into this position, however, with the guidance of our experienced school board, administration, teachers and parents, I feel confident in serving our community for the continued success of our children.”

Issaquah schools’ Magendanz announces bid for 5th District

With a pledge to “jumpstart education and jobs,” Issaquah resident and tech consultant Chad Magendanz this month announced a 2012 bid for the newly reshaped 5th Legislative District’s position 2 seat, currently held by Rep. Glenn Anderson (R-Fall City).

Magendanz would represent the 5th Legislative District, which includes Issaquah, East Renton Highlands, Maple Valley, Black Diamond, Carnation, Fall City, Snoqualmie, North Bend and Snoqualmie Pass. He said he will hold the line on education cuts while sup-porting a fair business climate to fuel economic recovery.

“As an officer in the U.S. Navy, I pledged to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domes-tic…and I am still delivering on that promise today. I see challenges to our cherished way of life in unsustainable government spending, the decline of our schools, the over-regulation of our businesses, and everyday erosion of our constitutional rights,” said Magendanz.

He was appointed to the Issaquah School Board in 2008 and elected in November of 2009. Magendanz served as Legislative Representative from 2009 to 2011 and was elected as President in December. He is a Kiwanis mem-ber, GOP precinct committee officer, PTSA legislative representative, and classroom volunteer.

David Olson is first recipient of Community

Spirit AwardBY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter

It looked like it could have been scripted. Heidi Dehart’s name had just been announced as the Youth Citizen of the Year, and, pink-cheeked, she started toward the front of the room. Just as she walked past, David Olson turned in his seat to give her a solid high-five.

Minutes later, she had the chance to give it back, as Olson’s name was called for another award.

Olson, a lifetime resident of North Bend and active Kiwanian, received the first-ever North Bend Community

Spirit Award Jan. 3, in a spe-cial ceremony at a North Bend City Council meeting, which he regularly attends. He may also have inspired the award, since he is an annual nominee for Citizen of the Year honors.

“One person’s name stood out,” said North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, “and not just for the work in 2011, but for an ongoing body of work within the community for years. .. He has spent most of his adult life giving to others.”

Olson, 57, learned about service early, from his par-ents. Following his father, he joined the Kiwanis Club, and has been an active member, working on every single proj-ect of the club’s, according to his nomination. Every week for worship at the North Bend Community Church, he sets

up the audio system, and does other odd jobs. Four years ago, he started volunteering at the church’s neighbor, the food bank, explaining, “It keeps me out of trouble.”

A 1973 Mount Si High School graduate (“I played foot-ball during the Pat Alexander regime!”) Olson went to Green River Community College and to work as an electrical technician at Allied Signal in Kirkland.

After 19 years there, he was laid off. He’s currently unem-ployed, but awfully busy.

“I just haven’t found a job yet,” he said. He hopes his next job will be in North Bend, or at least closer to home.

The Community Spirit Award will not be an annual honor, said Mayor Hearing, “but will be reserved for those special people and organiza-tions that have led by example within this community.”

Wearing a wide grin and a Santa hat, Olson happily accepted his award and loudly applauded his fellow award winners, Nels Melgaard, 2011 Citizen of the Year, and Dehart. “She deserves it,” he said. “She’s more busy in com-munity activities than I am!”

His own award has been close at hand for the last week or so, as he showed it off to family, friends, fellow volun-teers at the food bank and church, and to Mount Si High School’s Key Club members. He made sure to stash it in a secure place at the food bank, while he was breaking down boxes for recycling and doing other small tasks on a rainy Wednesday.

“It’s not a glamorous job,” he says, “but it needs doing.”

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4

RECKLESS DRIVING: At 10:33 p.m., a patrolling offi cer received a call from a Department of Transportation worker, who was watching an older blue pickup truck swerving northbound on Snoqualmie Parkway. The offi cer contacted the driver, who denied he’d been driving recklessly, and said he’d been swerving because the approaching offi cer’s headlights had blinded him. The offi cer followed the man, still swerving, home.

SATURDAY, DEC. 31

UNDER THE INFLUENCE: At 9:04 p.m. an offi cer on patrol stopped a vehicle at Orchard Drive and Gravenstein Court, because the registered owner’s license was suspended. The owner had his 5-year-old son in the passenger seat, and said he was dropping him off at a children’s party. The offi cer smelled alcohol and after further investigation, de-termined that the driver had been drinking, and after con-ducting sobriety tests, arrested him for driving under the infl uence.

SUSPECTED PROWLER: At 7:28 p.m., police received a re-port of a man looking into vehicles in the 8200 block of Railroad Avenue Southeast. The man was wearing a base-ball cap and a dark coat with white sleeves. Officers were unable to locate the person, but no cars had been broken into.

FRIDAY, DEC. 30

STOLEN FIREFIGHTER GEAR: At 10:16 a.m., a resident of the 7800 block of Melrose Lane Southeast reported that his pickup truck had been robbed on November 4, and a duffl e bag with about $750 worth of Eastside Fire & Rescue equip-ment had been taken. The victim said King County Sheriff ’s personnel had located his EF&R badge about a week later, at Rattlesnake Lake.

WEDNESDAY, JAN. 4

SHOPLIFTING: At 2:02 p.m., a business manager in the 300 block of Main Avenue South reported that at about 8 a.m. a man had entered his store and appeared to be shopping, asked a few questions, and then stole a pair of boots.

TUESDAY, JAN. 3

THREATS: At 10:15 a.m., a bank employee was confronted by an angry customer in the 100 block of Bendigo Boulevard North, and reported the incident to police. The teller said the man walked up to his counter and said he had a problem with the bank. He threatened to kill the employee, and blow up the bank.

STOLEN MEDS: At 9:25 a.m., a resident came to the North Bend substation to report that someone had stolen her methadone over the holidays.

The American Association of Retired Persons, or AARP, offers its free Tax-Aide ser-vice, February 1 to April 11 at the North Bend Library.

Volunteers can help people prepare their tax returns, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the library. The service is free and there are no age, income or mem-

bership requirements, but the service is meant for low- or middle-income tax-pay-ers, with special attention to those age 60 and older.

Please bring a copy of last year’s return, valid ID for

you, spouse and dependents, and records of all income received.

To learn more, call 1 (888) 227-7669 or visit http://www.aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide.

Eastside Fire seeking volunteersEastside Fire and Rescue is seeking applicants interested in

Applicants must be at least 18 years old, reside within five driving miles of the nearest EFR fire stations, have a valid Washington State driver’s license and a good driving record and be drug-free and fit for purpose. Background checks, medi-cal evaluations, and psychological screenings will be conducted during the application process.

EFR provides fire suppression, medical aid, and rescue services to nearly 120,000 citizens from 15 stations located throughout the northeast portion of King County. Volunteer firefighters receive all necessary equipment and training in order to respond to community emergencies.

“Being a volunteer firefighter is a big commitment, but the rewards for helping your community and your neighbors are even greater,” said EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich, who served as a volunteer for 11 of his 37 years in a fire career. “It is a life chang-ing adventure and one I highly recommend.”
