Snoqualmie District considers land transfer to Lake Washington

By Valley Record Staff

Some residents of the Snoqualmie Valley School District want to move to a new district, without moving their homes. They, and the rest of the dis-trict, will get the chance to talk about their wishes at a public hearing, Dec. 1, at the district office.

60 years of customs linger at Mount Si Fish and Game Club

BY SETH TRUSCOTTEditor

Jordan Bullock pulls on his ear-muffs, lifts his grandfather’s bird gun, a Remington 12-gauge, and shoots Greg Mason a virtual turkey.

Virtual, that is, in the sense that

the bird itself was bagged and fro-zen far from here. There’s no bird on the other end of Bullock’s muz-zle—he’s the designated shotgunner at the Mount Si Fish and Game Club’s annual Turkey Shoot, blast-ing targets, not fowls.

The Turkey Shoot is part of the venerable, increasingly challenged organization’s long-lived legacy.

Rotary Club hosts first free Thanksgiving dinner Thursday

BY CAROL LADWIGStaff Reporter

As most families sit down to their traditional Thanksgiving dinners on Thursday, a small group of volunteers will be on their feet, cooking and serv-ing the first community Thanksgiving dinner in the Valley.

The dinner, with noon, 1:30 and 3 p.m. seatings at the Mount Si Senior Center, 411 Main Avenue South, North Bend, is free and all are welcome to attend.

It’s the first such community dinner in the Valley, and it’s the brainchild of Snoqualmie Valley Rotary Club service project chairperson Rick Woodruff.

“He said ‘there doesn’t seem to be a Thanksgiving Day dinner in the Valley,’” said Club President Jolene Kelly.

Several groups, including the Mount Si Helping Hand Food Bank, offer needy families all of the ingredi-ents for the traditional holiday meal.

Council takes new look at budget in hopes of keeping force of three


Carnation voters rejected an almost 50 percent property tax increase in the Nov. 8 elec-tion, leaving their city coun-cil members wondering what exactly the community wants.

Proposition 1, a nearly 50 percent increase in the city’s property tax rate to be desig-nated for police services, failed in the Nov. 8 election by 38 votes, 266 to 228. It’s the widest margin of failure for the issue that voters have decided three times now; in 2008, it failed by 35 votes, 402-367, and in 2009, it failed by 23, 246 to 223. Yet the voter turnout was only about half of the city’s 976 registered voters.

Following the election, the council had to consider a 2012 budget that reduced police services by $90,000, or the equivalent of one full-time officer.

Councilman Mike Flowers said at the council’s Nov. 15 budget discussion that the group had never really dis-cussed the possibility of cut-ting the police, which would result in only one officer on patrol at any given time, and no round-the-clock cover-age. He proposed delaying the budget adoption until the council had more time to talk about their situation, and any possible alternatives to a service reduction, which he opposed.

Parent’s bullying support group starts small


Setting an ambitious schedule for her fledgling founda-tion, North Bend parent Kim Baker readily admits that she will need help to accomplish her goal: Ending bullying in Valley schools.

“Right now, were looking for strong partners in the com-munity to help us make a difference,” she told the small group attending the first public meeting of Survivors of Snoqualmie Valley School District No. 410 Foundation, held Tuesday, Nov. 15, at Si View Community Center.

The foundation is Baker’s invention, a group with a mis-sion of improving school safety by preventing bullying, rape, and suicide, as well as drug and alcohol abuse. She said she started the foundation for her children, both of whom had been victims of bullying and threats of rape and death in the school district, and for other families who’ve suffered the same.

“I want people to realize that they’re not alone,” she said. “I was told the whole time we’ve been in this district that I’m the only person who’s ever stepped forward, that nobody else in the district has stepped forward, and I know that’s not true,” she said.

The Snoqualmie Valley School District was unaware that the foundation had formed. A spokeswoman said that the district seriously examines all of the incidents that students and parents report. Investigations are led by the principals of the buildings where incidents are reported, and the district involves police, as needed.

“Safety in our schools has always and will always be a pri-ority,” said school spokeswoman Carolyn Malcolm. “Over the past two years, all of the schools in the district have done a lot with safety and respect programs,” she added, pointing out that the district website lists them, at www.svsd410.org/parents/harassment_bullying/prevention_support.asp).

Baker has frequently addressed the school board at its regular meetings, the first and third Thursdays of each month, about a variety of school issues, including bullying incidents. Her daughter, a student at Twin Falls Middle School, has tearfully told the board twice this year about her own experience being bullied. Baker said no school board member has ever responded to these comments.

Malcolm said the board can’t respond at a public meeting because of laws regarding minors’ privacy. “The district will never engage when an individual is talking about a specific student,” she said.

With the foundation, Baker hopes to create a safe and secure environment where bullying victims can share their pain and get support. She also hopes that as attendance at the meetings grows, they’ll be able to provide networking opportunities and resources, and to organize fundraisers for prevention programs targeting bullying, rape, and suicide.

Survivors of Snoqualmie Valley School District No. 410 Foundation can be contacted at P.O. Box 2240, North Bend, WA 98045.

Bullock, as one of the younger mem-bers of a club that dates back more than 60 years, is helping keep that legacy going in the face of a changing world.

Deep rootsThe Mount Si Fish and Game Club

was incorporated in 1947. One of about a half-dozen such clubs in the state, and among the oldest, it’s always been a vehicle for potlucks, derbies and tall-tale fishing stories. But it also has a serious mission.

“We support the Valley,” said mem-ber Don Platzer of Fall City. Thanks to the club, he learned to shoot as a grade schooler. Every spring, you can still find him encouraging young boys and girls as they try a fishing pole for the first time at the club’s children’s derby.

“If you see the eyes of some of these kids when they catch their first fish, you’ll remember it for the rest of your life,” Platzer said.

Snoqualmie Valley resident Bob Hamerly’s family has put four genera-tions in the club. When his family moved to the Valley from the midwest, they brought a love of fishing. It never left, and now his granddaughter Amy, 22, is in the club, one of a number of women who make up a third of the active members.

The $10 annual membership entitles an outdoors enthusiast and his or her family to a year’s round of activities, and the chance to make a difference for hunt-ing and fishing causes.

Club members write letters to officials in Olympia, making the case for their needs. They also promote sportsman-ship and donate time and resources to good causes. This year, the club awarded three college scholarships totaling more than $1,200 to Mount Si students. Every spring, the Fish and Game Club’s Kids Fishing Derby pits hundreds of chil-dren from across the Valley against some 800 planted trout at ponds behind the Snoqualmie Police Station. Some of the tougher trout hide there for months, pro-viding summer sport before the ponds dry up.

In April, the club hosts its annual Salmon Dinner at the Mount Si Senior Center in North Bend for $7 a plate.

This holiday season, the club is try-ing a new fundraiser. Club members are selling Noble Fir Christmas trees from a private lot.

Club members consistently refer to the family, friendships and memories built by the club. Hamerly and Platzer can’t help but swap fishing stories about the sturgeon that got away.

Being in the club “is an absolute blast,” Platzer said. “Sometimes, you laugh so hard you cry.”

Changing timesAs Bullock readies his shotgun dur-

ing the Turkey Shoot, held November 13 at the Hamerly residence outside of Snoqualmie, other members are indoors, counting winners. Following traditions

Below, Platzer, left, and fellow club members count buckshot holes to tally a turkey winner. Members are challenged by changing rules and ways, but continue to pass on their passion.

CLUB FROM 1

that go back to the ‘50s, the shoot involves a game of chance. In October, club mem-bers bring target cards to restaurants, hangouts and garages across the Valley, where, for a tiny fee, patrons can mark a portion of the target. Those whose sector gets hit by the most pellets win a bird. In the case of a tie, there’s a shoot-off.

According to Platzer, gaming the sys-tem is an impossibility—across dozens of cards, buckshot patterns appear random.

While Bullock notes the ease of his ‘hunting’ on this chilly Sunday afternoon, inside, members admit that the Turkey Shoot this year wasn’t the biggest mon-eymaker. The game club had raised its prices, from 50 cents to a dollar a chance, thanks to rising turkey prices. Still, the winners get their birds, and a number are always donated to the Mount Si Food Bank.

“We go the extra mile,” Platzer explained. The tradition must go on.

Bird costs aren’t the only sign of chang-ing times. The club’s active membership, about 20 today, has steadily shrunk as members age.

“We’re pretty much down to tradition anymore,” club treasurer Shawn Hamerly said.

Tougher regulations and dwindling stocks have limited the catches that mem-bers could once look forward to. Time was when the club would never even think

about buying a salmon for the annual salmon derby. Last year, they had to do it for the first time.

During salmon season, club member Bev Bethards used to keep a foot-long board out on her front porch, listing all the catches.

“Now, we’re lucky to have three on the board,” she said.

Club members try to push back against modern challenges, both by seeking new members and by writing to Olympia.

“We’re trying to keep this available for our grandchildren,” Platzer said.

New members are always welcome—in particular, young families with children, who have a true interest in the outdoors. Be warned, though: This club is slow to change.

“We take new ideas, try to improve on old ideas, and keep things going,” Platzer said. Everyone gets a chance to speak at meetings, he said.

Shawn Hamerly welcomes people with “a passion for the outdoors; people who don’t want to change what we’re doing.”

The Mount Si Fish and Game Club meets at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month at the Snoqualmie Police Station.

SNOQUALMIE

The numbers speak for themselves. Seventy five sign-wavers; 21,200 volun-

teer phone calls; 10,000 personalized postcards and flyers signed by 71 different people; 57 others who did everything from hosting the website to entering data to printing cards.

In all, nearly 300 people gave their time to help Si View Metro Parks Department make a Valley-wide reach-out. Their efforts to make sure every Si View supporter understood the need to vote on both ballot issues is what propelled the parks district to a firm, heartening win at the polls.

As of today, Si View’s prop. 1, which protects the district from pro-rationing under the state’s prop-erty tax levy cap, is riding at 87 percent approval; more than 4,900 people support-ed the measure, with some 680 voting against it. Proposition 2, a one-year M&O levy, had the tougher row to hoe with a 60 percent “supermajority” requirement. Yet it also did surprisingly well, passing today at 75 percent approval.

Miles from Si View, I ran into folks on Election Day afternoon rushing to the Snoqualmie post office to make sure their ballots got in on time, the parks district being their first priority. Amid our region’s still-tough economy, the win showcases the importance of Si View’s mission

to the Valley, and also shows what a strong, motivated corps of volun-teers can achieve. School boosters, take note.

At the post-campaign party that evening, someone jokingly suggest-ed that it was time to get to work on the next ballot measure for 2012. All joking aside, perhaps that isn’t a bad idea. The clock never stops ticking.

After a well-deserved breather, Si View needs to look ahead, and find a solution that saves it from the state’s ongoing tax and budget crisis. There’s no telling when the prop-erty value crash that put us in this position will begin climbing up into daylight. Should we expect to run one-year maintenance levies annu-ally as a stopgap? Probably not. This campaign may have been a big suc-cess, but I suspect voters will eventu-ally tire of returning to the polls to pass supermajority measures every autumn.

Junior taxing districts feel the pain because our state has decided that when the crunch happens, the buck has to stop somewhere. People’s property tax rights in the state need to be protected, but our communi-ties have never been through any-thing like this before. Si View has found an elegant, but temporary, way to offset the massive 84-percent cut that would have left it a shell. We’ll need a longer-term solution. Got any ideas?

If you do, consider sharing them or getting involved. The Si View Metro Parks District commission meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Wednesday of the month at Si View Community Center, 400 SE Orchard Drive, North Bend. If you live in and around North Bend, or in King County bordering Snoqualmie, you are a district member. You can learn more about Si View at siview-park.org.

The Taproot program uses the power of storytelling to help students address this important issue, blend-ing lessons of respect and bullying prevention into the story’s sequence of events. At the end of the presenta-tion Taproot actors interact with students helping to emphasize and reinforce the lessons shared. For more information on this and other Taproot programs available for schools visit www.taprootthreatre.org.

Am I a good candidate for LASIK? You probably have friends who’ve had LASIK surgery—using a laser to reshape the cornea to decrease the need for

glasses or contacts. How do you know if it’s the right choice for you? That answer depends on your goals and expectations, your eye health and your overall health. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for LASIK is with a comprehensive consultation. If you think the time may be right for you to consider LASIK, please give us a call or go to our webs i te—www.snofa l l seye . com— t o schedule your free consultation. Here are a few of the things to help you consider if the time is right for you:

Are you 21 or older, and have your glasses or contact lens prescription been stable for at least one year? What are your hobbies and activities? Why are you interested in LASIK? Do you have any health issues that could impair wound healing, such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes? Are you pregnant or nursing? (We recommend waiting 2-3 months after weaning).

Our goal is to help you make the individual

decision that is best for you and your eyes. See you soon!

But Woodruff pointed out that there was no place that people could simply go for dinner. Rotary mem-bers realized that this was a need not being met for local families, and decided last month to host the Thanksgiving dinner.

Woodruff “reminded us that ser-vice above self is a key component of our mission, and we decided to organize a Thanksgiving Day din-ner that will serve as an impactful event to those most challenged with the difficult economic times,” Kelly said.

The food bank and senior center have both posted sign-up sheets for anyone who plans to attend the din-ner, but signing up in advance is not required.

Judy Boyce volunteered to coor-dinate kitchen work, and “tons” of volunteers have committed to help, Kelly said. More are always needed. Volunteer shifts run from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., 1:15 to 2:45 p.m., and 2:45 to 4 p.m. Additional volunteers for cleanup are also needed from 3 to 4:30 p.m.

To volunteer, or for more informa-tion, contact Kelly at [email protected], or call (425) 941-8795.

“I don’t think we should be cutting police services… that’s not how I’m inter-preting the results,” Flowers said. He spoke with voters, including opponents, he said, and “from what I’ve been hearing… it was not a ‘cut police services no’ … it was that they wanted the monies used differently than what we’ve been doing.”

Councilman Fred Bereswill said he’d also talked to voters, and gotten a differ-ent impression.

“I’ve had input, and people said, ‘I don’t care if we have no police depart-ment, period.’ It had nothing to do with police, they just didn’t want to pay any more money,” he said.

Flowers’ proposal was to make a con-certed effort at finding out what the com-munity residents want in their city, but he didn’t know what shape that might take. He noted that police services are always an important item in community sur-vey responses, however. Bereswill then pointed out that less than 100 people responded to each of the city’s previous surveys.

Councilman Jim Berger and Mayor Lee Grumman agreed that the council should further discuss the implications of a police services reduction before adopt-ing the budget, but both were skeptical

that they could find either money in the budget or public support for the rising cost of their current police contract.

“We were very clear in our messaging to the voters this go-round that our bud-get is bare-bones,” said Berger. “We’ve cut 200 and some odd thousand dollars out of the budget over the past couple years, we’re down to pretty much nothing, and over the next six years—this is a six-year plan—we need this money to fund the police department.”

Grumman said, “My biggest concern is maybe we could find some money for the next year or two… but it’s the years further out that are going to be the big problem.”

For 2012, the police contract is estimat-ed to cost the city $512,000, if no reduc-tion is made. Proposition 1 would have yielded about $90,000 annually for the next six years, and only about $17,000 of that is needed to maintain police services at the current level for 2012. However, in successive years, the costs are estimated to at least double annually. The levy amount set in Proposition 1 would have

accounted for the amount needed by the end of the levy.

The proposed 2012 budget is about $1.1 million, with no increases in spend-ing, except for law enforcement.

“I think there’s money there for the next year or two, to pay for any antici-pated increases that we’ve estimated through our police services analysis,” Flowers said.

He proposed to re-examine the budget for additional funds that could be direct-ed to the police contract, and council members were dubious, but agreed.

“I’m willing to look at funding police services, but I’m also reluctant to cut anything else,” Berger said.

City Manager Ken Carter isn’t sure what else can be cut. He said a close look at the budget might yield small amounts “here and there,” but “I think we’ve pretty well cut everything….We didn’t put a Sanican in Memorial Park in the sum-mer (because) it’s $400. It’s down to that level of saying we’ve already cut.”

Carnation voters re-elected Grumman and Bereswill to their council seats and elected Erin Chamberlain to replace out-going councilman Stuart Lisk. All candi-dates ran unopposed.

The next city council meeting is Tuesday, Dec. 6, 7 p.m. at the City Hall. The council has until Dec. 13 to adopt the budget.

The request, a petition signed by Sammamish resi-dents to change the boundar-ies of Lake Washington School District to include their prop-erties, would allow those resi-dents to send their children to the closer Lake Washington schools, without having to obtain district permission. It would also diminish the size

and therefore the potential revenue of the Snoqualmie Valley School District.

“It’s an erosion of the tax base,” District Superintendent Joel Aune said, during a dis-cussion of the petition at the Snoqualmie Valley School Board’s Nov. 17 meeting.

Aune said the district had to act on the petition by Jan. 9, but he proposed to finalize district action in December, before two non-returning

board members complete their terms, and because the first board meeting in January is after the deadline. He recom-mended a public hearing on Dec. 1, after which he might ask the board to select two members to begin negotia-tions with two members of the Lake Washington board. This would allow the board enough time to take a final vote on the petition at its Dec. 15 meeting.

No law requires the dis-

trict to hold a public hearing on the issue. However, Aune recommended it, saying the district has historically gone “a little bit of that extra mile.”

The proposed transfer of homes in Devereux, Trails at Camden Park, 26th Street, 27th Place, and a few homes on 244th Avenue Northeast, was submitted to the Puget Sound Education Service District, and validated on September 10.

Council sends off Garcia, faces 2012


A farewell roast of outgoing North Bend councilman Chris Garcia was planned for Tuesday, Nov. 15, but it turned into an emotional tribute to his nine years of service to the city.

Garcia, known on the council for his sense of humor, com-pleted the last meeting of his most recent appointment to the council with more jokes at his expense than his colleagues, friends and family.

During a discussion of extending the city’s moratorium on medical marijuana facilities, for instance, Garcia insisted on making the motion, because “how appropriate would it be that I extend one more moratorium in the city?”

Garcia served on the city council from 2002 to 2008, and was involved in at least four council votes to extend the city’s water and sewer moratorium on development that finally ended in 2009. He was appointed to his current seat in January, 2010.

Mayor Ken Hearing told Garcia it has been a pleasure to work with him, and each council member echoed the senti-ments. Encompass Director Gregory Malcolm called Garcia a role model as a business owner, and as a volunteer, demon-strating not how much time to give, but how to use the time given. He added that the Valley Chamber of Commerce was running out of categories for honoring him, and told of how his son, swapping boasts with a friend about their fathers, said “Well, my dad gets free pizza from the guy that owns Frankie’s.”

Linda Garcia, Chris’ mother, talked about how proud she and his father were of his commitment to the Valley, which they also loved. Josh Garcia, his brother, said “He’s been a role model not only in our family, but I think to this community, and I would challenge you to think of him as North Bend’s good son.”

City Administrator Duncan Wilson thanked Garcia for being a challenging council member, as well as a supporting one, saying “You made us work hard, and I think we’re all better because of it.”

When he got his own chance to speak, Garcia thanked everyone, reminded the community to remember people in need during the holidays, and said he was happy to see that vote seemed in favor of the city’s sales tax increase for trans-portation improvements. “And I’ll be watching how you guys spend that money,” he told the council.

Before the roast, the council had a few items of business to take care of, which were all unanimously approved. Among them, the council approved the city budget and property tax amount of $1,245,389, for 2012.

Councilman Jonathan Rosen said the budget reflected responsible planning for the city, which has protected its reserve and increased the budget for street paving 50 percent, while maintaining services, and cutting more than $150,000 from city salaries and wages in the past year. Regarding the tax, he said it doesn’t include a 1 percent annual increase allowed by law, because “this isn’t the time to raise taxes.”

City Finance Manager Stan Lewis told the council that the budget they approved can be amended in 2012 to account for the potential revenue from the sales tax increase that voters had apparently approved in the Nov. 8 election. The levy, he said, was increased by $15,355, for the estimated cost of new construction, and “that leaves about $46,000 on the table.”

The council also approved a six-month extension to the city’s moratorium on medical marijuana facilities. The action prohibits the establishment of collective gardens, dispensa-ries, and production and processing facilities for medical-use marijuana within North Bend through July.

Weigh in on trash rate hikeThe North Bend City Council has scheduled a public

hearing on proposed increases to the city’s solid waste and recycling collection fees. The hearing will be part of the coun-cil’s regular meeting Dec. 6 at 7 p.m. in the Mount Si Senior Center, 411 Main Ave. South.

Proposed monthly increases are 92 cents for a 32-gallon bin and $1.55 for a 60-gallon bin for residential customers, and $6.57 for a one-yard dumpster for commercial customers.

‘Lunch and Learn’ looks at December’s challenges

To help locals cope with the dual challenges of win-tertime stress and the holi-days, the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District is hosting a special mental health event in December.

Join a panel of therapists and counselors for a one-hour “Lunch & Learn” panel discussion beginning at noon on Thursday, Dec. 1, at the Snoqualmie Fire Department. Bring your questions and comments and be prepared to discuss coping with year-end stress. For example, when is

it appropriate to seek profes-sional help rather than just talking to a friend?

Lunch is free, courtesy of the Hospital Foundation, but space is limited. Reserve a spot

at www.SVHDlunchandlearn.eventbrite.com.

This event is equally appro-priate for health and human services professionals, family caregivers, care receivers, or

for anyone else who other-wise may find the end of the year stressful.

Lunch & Learns are sched-uled for the first Thursday of each month and begin

promptly at noon. In 2012 look for a series of Lunch &

Learns around life transi-tions.

Rollover closes Mount Si Road

One teen was critically injured Friday, Nov. 18, in a car accident on Mount Si Road. The teen, an 18-year-old boy from Issaquah, was ejected from a car as it rolled over, around 6:20 p.m. near 44th Avenue Southeast.

Two other people in the vehicle, a man, 18, from Sammamish at the wheel, and a 14-year-old girl from North Bend, were also injured, but not seriously.

The accident happened

when the driver, west-bound on Mount Si Road, lost control of the vehi-cle coming out of a left-hand curve, according to the King County Sheriff ’s Office, which is investi-gating the accident. The vehicle rolled over onto the steep shoulder of the road, then rolled back, the report states.

“We found no evidence of drugs or alcohol use,” as a possible factor contribut-ing to the accident, said Sgt. Cindi West, spokesper-son for the Sheriff ’s Office. Weather did not seem to be a factor, either.

The accident and inves-tigation closed Mount Si Road for several hours that evening.

Sallal Grange donation adds to food bank’s turkey list

The North Bend Sallal Grange is pleased to have donated 24 frozen turkeys to the Mount Si Helping Hand Food Bank in North Bend.

The food bank serves 1,200 people in the valley, and is the largest food bank in the Northwest Harvest system. Mount Si had announced a shortage of 340 turkeys this year, to distribute among the community, and the Sallal Grange, as part of their ongo-ing support for the food bank, allocated funds to purchase turkeys at a local grocery store.

Three members of the Grange, Larry Houch, Dan Clapp and Nels Melgaard, delivered the turkeys to grateful food bank worker David Shea.

Shea said that the Snoqualmie police used to deliver 10 turkeys, but that the Sallal donation was the largest single donation he could remember.

More information about the Grange and their community

outreach programs is avail-able through Leah Aichele, the Sallal Grange’s Director of Family Life, as well as Sallal’s reporter, at [email protected] or (425) 445-2840.

The Mount Si Food Bank has so far accepted 356 turkeys, enough for the Thanksgiving holiday. Additional turkeys will help with Christmas col-lection needs.

Valley’s Indian community comes together with Diwali night of heritageBY SETH TRUSCOTT

Editor

Dressed in bold-colored saris, Ponni Elango and Hemaletha Vaddi drape a garland over the small statue of Ganesh, Lord of Beginnings, then set a row of tangerine-colored roses. Two LED candles blink in front of the Hindu deity, and one real oil candle outshines them.

“We want the light,” Elango explained. “Diwali is full of light.”Called the Festival of Light, Diwali is an important holiday for four different religions

and many peoples in the Indian subcontinent. Elango and Vaddi’s preparations paved the way for a night of dance, music, feasting and tradition at Snoqualmie Diwali Night, held Saturday, Nov. 12, at Si View Community Center in North Bend.

Public celebration of Diwali in the Valley dates back about five years. The party is not put on by any group, but is a get-together aimed at connecting Snoqualmie families with similar roots.

In India, Diwali is a traditional family gathering. The day was officially observed on Wednesday, Oct. 26. But local celebrants, mostly families from Snoqualmie Ridge, meet as a group to help connect their community and pass on important traditions.

“A lot of these kids haven’t seen the traditional way of celebrating,” said father Srini Anand. Snoqualmie Diwali Night helps young people “understand the culture, appreciate the cultural differences between what we see here and we brought back in the country,” he said.

“Pretty much all my relatives were born in India, except me and my brother,” said Hari Rathman, age 10.

Rathman explains the basic premise of Diwali: “Good vs. evil, God killed the demon.” On the walls, bright pictures represent clay lamps, or diyas. The lamps banish spiritual

darkness, and are symbols of good triumphing over evil. During Diwali, Indians exchange sweets, light fireworks and wear new clothes.

Bright women’s saris and men’s sherwanis were on display in a rainbow of hues.“We put on all the colors,” Elango said. Rathman and friend Aachin Dev, 9, were dressed in western-style plaids, about to dance

Bollywood-style as part of The Groovy Boys, one of a dozen Snoqualmie Ridge perfor-mance groups who have been readying their rhythms for the last two months.

The songs and dances performed at Si View come from across India.“You’ll see different songs in different languages,” said Vijeth Shetty, deejaying for the

night and putting the Si View speakers to the test with thumping dance music.There was also a big potluck feast, with Indian specialties, desserts and chai tea. The night included a children’s fashion show, “Best Lady” game and an open dance floor.

As the dancing begins, emcees exhort the crowd to cheer louder, and to come together.“The Diwali spirits are already here,” Anand said.

Mount Si pro: Invest time in your gameBY JOHN SANFORD

Contributing Writer

So, we’re closing in on the end of the golf season, at least as we know it here in the Great Northwest. On the assump-tion you’ve decided not to sell your clubs on eBay and give up the game, I’m assuming most of you will once again store your clubs away in the closet or garage, and give the game another chance this next spring.

The off season in golf is kind of like the off season in base-ball. No matter how bad your favorite team played during the season, there is always the hope that the next season will be the one where they win the World Series.

Your memory of the bad shots of the past season will dull, while you dream and anticipate

that the first tee shot of the spring will bring a new magic to your game, yet unseen.

Well, I’ve got news. It ain’t gonna happen, at least not without a little off-season effort on your part. Just like baseball teams, if you want to achieve those dreams for next season, you need to be willing to do some training in the off season to improve your conditioning and skills for the coming year. If a baseball team is not willing to make a few trades, or their players are not serious enough to invest time in the off season to improve their skills and con-ditioning, then realistically, they are not likely going to be play-ing in the World Series next October.

Playing golf in the off season can actually be a great expe-rience. The courses are less crowded, so walking on when the weather presents an oppor-tunity is usually not a problem, and green fees are consider-ably reduced, making it a great value. However, to make the best of it, you need to be prop-erly prepared to play in some marginal conditions.

First and foremost, make sure you have quality rain gear. With the new tech, stretch fab-rics on the market today you no longer have to feel like the

Winter Carnivale by youth stringsSnoqualmie Strings Youth

Orchestra will give its annual holiday concert, “Winter

Carnivale,” 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at the North Bend

Church of Latter-Day Saints, 527 S.W. Mount Si Blvd., North

Bend.

Come enjoy a delightful blend of circus classics, holiday favor-

ites, and classical masterpieces. Admission is free.

North Bend’s Valley Center Stage company presents holiday favorite,

“A Christmas Carol”Experience holiday entertainment for the

whole family with Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas ghost story, “A Christmas Carol” at Valley Center Stage, 119 North Bend Way.

This is the theater’s seventh year present-ing this holiday classic. It has become a tra-dition in the Snoqualmie Valley, with sold-out performances throughout the show’s run each holiday season.

“I’ve had a great time, directing some of my old friends returning to reprise their roles and adding some new people to the cast this year,” said director Gary Schwartz who also performs as Scrooge.

“The show always get to me and makes me look forward to Christmas,” Schwartz said. “The message is timeless and univer-sal. It is great family entertainment, and we expect packed audiences from the Valley and throughout the region.”

This year, a cast of more than 20 actors will guide your journey with Ebenezer Scrooge as he evolves from a holiday-hating “humbug” of a fellow to an inspired man capable of love and redemption.

In the returning cast this year is Ed Benson, Craig Ewing, Bill Stone, Sean Stone, Forrest Heintz, Hayley Prins, Sydney Prins, Becky Rappin, Leslayann Schecterson, Rene Schuchter, Robin Walbeck-Forrest, Tony Dambrava, James Kolke and Schwartz. They welcome several newcomers this year: Cameron Wolf, Rich Wiltshire, Sara Tedeschi, Natalie Brodus, Isaiah Gibson, Daniel Kolke, Janine Cook, Lauren Weaver, Greg Lucas and Tammy Blalock.

This inspiring holiday classic runs three weekends; Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 and 15, 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Valley Center Stage’s charming 100-seat theater above the SingleTrack bike shop in downtown North Bend.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12.50 for seniors and children. Purchase tick-ets online at www.valleycenterstage.org. For more information, call (425) 831-5667.

Four dancers from the Snoqualmie Valley recently competed in the Western Regional Irish Dance Competition in Anaheim, Calif.

Sydney Dore, 15, Madison Murphy, 15, and sisters Carly Goodspeed, 15, and Sarah Goodspeed, 11, have competed in Irish Dance Competitions throughout the year. Their high stand-ings as either preliminary champions or open cham-pions in these competitions qualified the girls to compete in the Oireachtas Regional Competition, held prior to Thanksgiving.

This event is a qualify-ing event for both the North American Championships which take place in Chicago and the World Championships held in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

In Anaheim, the girls com-peted against 150 other top Irish dancers from Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming. Dancers were grouped by age, according to their birth

years, which resulted in Sarah competing in the U11 group, Carly and Sydney competing in U15, and Madison com-peting in U16.

Each dancer will competed in both soft shoe and hard shoe in front of a panel of three judges. Their com-bined scores are then used to select the top-half danc-ers to perform a third dance and complete their set. High-scoring dancers qualify for

Nationals and top 10 qualify for the World Competition in Ireland.

The girls are students of Scoil Rince Slieveloughane Irish Dance which is led by teacher Robert Haley of Seattle. Classes are held local-ly at Puget Sound Gymnastics and Dance in North Bend.

PSGD offers students the opportunity to participate competitively by joining their competitive teams.

PUZZLE ANSWERS FROM PAGE 15

GOLF FROM 14

Michelin Man trying to swing a golf club. Resist the tempta-tion to buy the cheap stuff, you will soon regret it.

Next, invest in new grips on your clubs and a pair of quality rain gloves. It will make the off season golf experience that much better. Again, advances in technol-ogy have made the club slip-ping out of your hands a thing of the past. Also, don’t forget the little details, new spikes in your shoes and some hand warmers in your bag.

Once you’re prepared for off season play, you will need to come up with a game plan for improvement. You might want to use the off season to work on your physical condi-tioning and flexibility. Maybe investigate a gym member-ship (one with a knowledge-able staff can help design a program to fit your needs), or at least commit to doing a bit more walking, cycling or swimming, so you can actu-ally play a full 18 holes with-out getting tired.

Also, in a bit of shameless, self-promotion, you should look into getting some qual-ity instruction. The off season is actually the perfect time of year to work on improv-ing your swing. Most golf-ers are usually reluctant to make changes in their swings during the summer months because their time horizon for improvement is too short. Making successful swing changes is rarely a short term event and the off sea-son provides the time needed to make changes without the self-induced pressure of being able to perform well in the short term because of an upcoming outing or competi-tion.

Finally, don’t forget your short game. Improving your short game is the fastest way to better scores. Be honest about your short game and get some help if you have trouble with distance control or making consistent ball contact. I give hundreds of lessons a year and, when asked, nearly every one of them thinks they have a good short game. In real-ity, about one in 100 actually does. If you’re not working on swing changes, you should be devoting at least 80 percent of your off-season practice time to your putting and chipping (50 percent if you are working on swing changes).

Get out and give golf a try in the off season. By the way, anybody know how the Mariners are doing?

This month, the community became 14 times safer: On Friday, Nov. 11, fourteen students at DMW Martial Arts in Snoqualmie passed their test for their black belts. Most have been training for more than five years, enduring six months of extremely rigorous training which culminated in a grand celebration.“Earning the rank of black belt is probably one of the hardest things they’ve ever done. What it represents is the ability to overcome and believe that through persistence and hard work you can no doubt achieve great things,” said Dan Cartan, chief instructor at the school. Black belt recipients included Daniel Green, Karen Andring, Stefan Van Handel of North Bend;Tyler Weir, Amie Sauve, Ben Sauve and Eva Sauve of Fall City; Gabriel Robison, Veronique Bourgault, Elizabeth Bourgault, Teddy Caulton, Spencer Sprague, Cooper Neil of Snoqualmie and Chris Buyagawan of Kent.

NOT AT WORK: At 8:28 p.m., an offi cer on patrol near Sno-qualmie Parkway Southeast and Fisher Avenue Southeast saw a vehicle with expired tabs, and signaled the driver to stop. The driver gave the offi cer his ID and documentation for his ignition interlock (a device that

prevents a car from starting if the driver is intoxicated), but said he did not have the device in this, his work car. The man’s wife and two children were also

in the vehicle, and his employer documentation listed him as both an employee and owner of the company. He was cited for the tabs and the interlock.

SUNDAY, NOV. 13

CROWD CONTROL: At 12:50 a.m., police were alerted to

a theft and a related fi ght occurring in a parking lot in the 37500 block of South-east North Bend Way, and responded to assist the re-sponding Sheriff ’s Deputies. Police were unloading a tour bus, which held a suspect in the theft. The man was in-toxicated and belligerent and after he was off the bus, he still struggled against po-lice, who fi nally used a Taser to subdue him. Many of the man’s family members were also involved, either ob-structing the investigation, or calming others down.

FRIDAY, NOV. 11

GRASS AND GRAFFITI: At 9:36 a.m., an offi cer responded to a report of vandalism in the public restrooms at Stellar Park. The offi cer found and photographed green, black and yellow graffi ti in both the men’s and women’s restrooms. He also found a mouthpiece for a marijuana-smoking de-vice (a “blunt”) on the paper towel dispenser in the mens’ room, but was unable to take fi ngerprints from it. CONSTRUCTION GRAFFITI: At 8:08 a.m., an offi cer was waved down in the area of Southeast Center Street and Snoqualmie Parkway Southeast, to investi-gate some vandalism. A con-struction company employee pointed out some symbols painted on items he’d been storing in a lot.
