After two years apart, district, North Bend and Snoqualmie agree on burden of growth

By Carol ladwigStaff Reporter

Within a few weeks, the Snoqualmie Valley School District should be on the same calendar page with Snoqualmie and North Bend, ending a two-year discrepancy with the cities. The dis-trict’s board of direc-tors voted Thursday, March 22, to adopt a contract amend-ment that added new language, hold-ing each city harm-less from litigation in its collection of school impact fees for the district.

The contract amendments will be forwarded on to the two city councils for review and adoption. The Snoqualmie City Council unanimously approved the contract Monday, March 26. North Bend will discuss it Tuesday, April 3.

Since the new language complies with the cities’ request for protection from any lawsuits that might arise from an error of the school district’s,

Half-time

patrols for ToltCarnation oks smaller police contract, gets sign-off from Duvall


Three months into the year, Carnation has committed to a 2012-13 contract for police ser-vices, which slightly reduces the city’s overall coverage.

The City Council voted 4-1 on March 6 to approve a contract that eliminates one full-time officer from the city’s police rota-tion, but allows for an addi-tional few hours of “flex time,” for officers to respond to emer-g e n c i e s outside of scheduled hours.

“It pro-vides roughly 50 percent cov-erage during the week… The actual times may vary,” said City Manager Ken Carter, when he presented the new contract.

Carter was directed by the council to negotiate the reduced contract in December, when councilmembers resigned themselves to a reduced police services budget.

Carnation, with an annual budget of about $1.1 million, buys police services from the city of Duvall, and was antici-pating a 2012 cost of $512,000 for police services alone.

Ready to help customers at the self-check-out aisle, Roger Cleven, cashier at the North Bend QFC, has held just about every job, starting as a box boy, at the local supermarket since starting there at age 17. He was voted ‘Best Cashier’ in the Valley Record’s latest “Best of the Valley” poll.

Cleven, voted ‘Best Cashier’By Seth truSCott

Editor

Roger Cleven has been working in the same building, for the same boss, for 30 years. And he is per-fectly happy about it.

Cleven, named best cashier in the Valley by readers in the Valley Record’s annual “Best of the Valley”

poll, still remembers the day—October 13, 1980—he approached Bill Weller and asked for a job.

Weller, today manager for the North Bend QFC, hired Cleven, at 17, to work at what was then the North Bend IGA. Since then, Cleven has held down practically every role in the building.

Every time he’s tried to leave, something’s kept him behind the registers at the downtown grocery store.

New partners, new programs, and the tale of a 1920s movie dog were highlighted at the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation’s annu-al fundraising luncheon Thursday, March 22.

The dog, Rin Tin Tin, was the metaphor that keynote speaker Sandi Everlove used to illustrate the principles of, and need for, sci-ence, technology, engineering, and math (or STEM)-based learning in Washington. From his rescue as a puppy in 1922 Germany and his rise to stardom, to his impact on the relation-ships between people and their dogs today, Rin Tin Tin, Everlove says, represents STEM’s path from conception to implementation in increas-ing numbers of classrooms.

Washington STEM (www.washingtonstem.org), where Everlove serves as Chief Learning Officer and interim CEO, has awarded nearly $3 million in funding for STEM programs, reaching nearly 16,000 students since its cre-ation in March 2011, Everlove said. The orga-nization hopes to make that number $100 mil-lion within 10 years, in part, because it has to.

“We are literally a STEM-fueled state,” said Everlove, with fully 80 percent of today’s jobs in Washington today requiring STEM skills. That

trend will continue, she notes. “It’s only going to get better if you’re a STEM

person,” Everlove said. She commended the Snoqualmie Valley

School District for the STEM work it’s already done, highlighted in a video showing some of the foundation-funded school projects of the past year, and gave examples of other teach-ers throughout the state doing similar work. A third grade teacher in Pasco, Wash., set out to discover why her students hated doing math – an informal survey revealed that most of them would prefer taking out the trash to doing their math homework, Everlove said. Using video cameras and other technology, she was able to spark her students’ interest in math, so much that they have now created videos teaching other students, and teachers, how to do algebra.

“You are already the visionaries,” she told the audience, then encouraged them to hold another vision in their minds, of a student being truly engaged at school by what she’s learning, because of the opportunities they provided her.

More than 200 people attended the event, which raised more than $80,000 for school projects.

Making education ‘awesome’Elementary Educator of the Year Elizabeth Cronin

StorieS and photoS By Carol ladwig

Staff Reporter

Cake, balloons, and a video camera coming through her classroom door were enough

to make fourth-grade teacher Elizabeth Cronin pause a beat, but not enough to throw her off the day’s subject matter. “Do crayfish like cake?” she asked her excited students at Cascade View Elementary School. They had to think for a moment, then agreed that no, crayfish probably didn’t eat much cake. They all had cake though, with members of the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation, who surprised Cronin with the announcement that she’d been selected their 2012 Elementary Educator of the Year. The kids also got the thrill of being inter-viewed on-camera for a video to be shown at Thursday’s Schools Foundation luncheon.“This is so awesome!” one girl squealed, clasping hands with a friend. Awesome, yes; educational, maybe not in a strict sense, but Cronin found a teaching opportu-nity in the experience, (“I was just

making sure that we got science in,” she said) and the memorable event helped with her main goal.“I tell my kids, ‘I want you to want to learn,’” she said, a few days after the excitement. She’d just said good-bye to her class for the day, getting (and giving) a hug, a handshake, or a high-five from each one of them, as their required “exit pass.” “It’s just my way of connecting with kids before they leave, hav-ing some positive interaction with

them,” Cronin explained, going on to list a couple of the secret handshakes her students have created to share with her. That individual interaction is so important, Cronin says, and it can be so difficult to achieve every day with 23 to 27 students in a room. She makes sure to celebrate their successes in the classroom, and really appreciates the parents and volunteers that “will do anything and everything,” for her class.

He says it in such a matter-of-fact way, you might think you misheard Dave

Bettine, talking about an after-school project some of his eighth graders are working on. “We’re trying to launch this thing into space,” says Bettine, a math teacher at Twin Falls Middle School. Yes, outer space, 120,000 feet up, in fact, and Bettine credits the stu-dents with doing most of the work to get it there. He ticks off the list of their accom-plishments: “They’ve done all the research… from weather patterns to flight paths of commercial and military aircraft, and the geog-raphy of ‘ok, where are we going to launch this, and what are our chances of retrieving it?,’ and they did the entire telemetry package inside… ‘we don’t want to just take a picture, we want to take live pictures, and send them back real-time,’” he explained.This project is doing for 10 students what Bettine, recently named the 2012 Middle School Educator of the Year, sets out to do every day for the 130 eighth graders he teaches. That’s to make math interesting, relevant, and even safe. Bettine often talks about the

“safety net” it’s his job to provide for his algebra, pre-algebra, and math enrichment students.“The one thing they lack so much of is not the ability to do it, but the confidence to try to do it,” he said. “You have to make sure they understand it’s OK to not be right all the time.”Strange as that sounds, Bettine said, it’s true. Students want to get everything right, and they struggle when that doesn’t happen. Sometimes, they give up, he said,

so “it’s important to model, ‘OK, what I did wasn’t right, or it didn’t work. I’ll try it again.’” Bettine’s 15-year teaching career is the result of his having the confidence (and “an understanding spouse!”) to try it again when, at age 40, he decided to change jobs. He’d been working as an opera-tions manager for an automotive distribution company in Oklahoma, and wondering what kind of job might give him the same fulfill-ment he got from coaching his two sons, Sean and Taylor, in Little League. “I just really enjoyed being around the younger kids, and the energy that they provide,” he said. “They’re just little sponges, want-ing to learn everything possible… ‘teach us, teach us, teach us!’” A favorite teacher from high school, Sue Campbell, had already set the example for him. Bettine said Campbell’s teaching got him through “arguably the toughest course” in college for first-year stu-dents, freshman composition. “She set me up for success,” he said. “I did well in (the class)… it made sense to me, the way she taught it.”

Opstad’s own ‘Miss Tina’ Classified Staff Member of the Year Tina Longwell

Only slightly breathless, an intent little girl explains to Tina Longwell in great detail

how she scraped her knees at recess, and exactly why she needs not one, but two bandages. As the child zips around the corner to the nurse’s office, Longwell lets out the smile she had to suppress during the retelling. It’s a skill she’s had to learn during her four-plus years as the secretary/registrar at Opstad Elementary School, not letting on how cute —and funny—kids are when they’re being so serious. Her devotion is one of the attributes that earned Longwell the title of 2012 Classified Staff Member of the Year from the Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation, and she was for-mally recognized at the foundation luncheon Thursday, March 22.Nominated by the public, the foun-dation’s Educators of the Year are chosen for their passion and influ-ence in the classroom.

Kid talk“There are kids who say things, and sometimes, you just have to look away,” admits Longwell. Her colleagues in the school office nodded agreement.

Miss Tina, as the students call her, was not expecting that particular challenge when she joined the Opstad school staff four and a half years ago. She had been managing a dental office for 19 years, but her hours got longer, and she wanted to spend more time at home with her youngest son, then in fourth grade at Opstad. She applied for a spot in the office, thinking it would be a simple desk job, managing attendance and enrollment, call-

ing parents when children have unexplained absences, register-ing Kindergarteners, and other paperwork.“I didn’t realize it was going to be as much hands-on working with the kids as it was,” she said, but that’s not a complaint. “I love it. I don’t think of it as a job. I get to come to work every day.”

MIT dreams coming true for Mount Si lineman,

thrower Brian Copeland Appropriately, it was Pi Day—

Wednesday, March 14—when Brian Copeland logged into the admissions website for the brainy Massachusetts Institute of Technology and got the message he was waiting for.

“’You have been accepted,’” Copeland said. “I was really happy when I first saw it.”

Copeland, who was a starting lineman for the Wildcats last fall, now gets his chance to play foot-

ball with the MIT Beavers, while pursuing a degree in theoretical physics.

“It definitely takes off the weight of college—where will I go?” Copeland said. “Now it’s a new weight of paying for it, getting scholarships.”

Copeland’s sports skills are bal-anced by his academic achieve-ments. His standing as a National Merit Finalist undoubtedly helped in MIT’s decision, as they only accept 7 percent of applicants. He is excited to have the opportunity to pursue his three loves, football, math and physics, and is grateful to all his teachers and coaches who helped make this journey possible.

The six-foot-two Copeland played right tackle for the Mount Si football team. Last fall, he focused on his assignments for every sin-gle play, protecting from defensive ends on pass plays, blocking his man on runs. At college, he’s pon-dering whether he’ll wind up as a guard for the Beavers.

Never-say-die Mount Si soccer team sends Patriots packing, ties with Skyline

By Seth truScottEditor

Resiliency paid off in the 60th minute of a dark and stormy soc-cer game for Alex Censullo.

The junior and his fellow Mount Si boys soccer squad had spent the first half of a firgid Tuesday, March 20, home match against Liberty under pressure from the Patriots. Then, it was time for payback.

Coming up from a 1-2 deficit and seek-ing goal opportuni-ties left and right, Wildcat tenacity paid off. Junior mid-fielder Erik Stai fed a ball to Censullo, who cut across the Liberty keeper to put it away, eliciting cheers from a well-bundled crowd.

“In the second half, we really took it to them,” Censullo said. “In the second, we were skilled. We finished a lot.”

Church leaders, it’s time to speak up

Given the recent comments in the Valley Record regarding marriage rights and how faith communities are approaching this, it would be very illuminating to find out more about the churches in or near the Valley that are so-called “welcom-ing” churches—churches who accept and welcome people regardless of sexual orientation (most seem to be Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Church of Christ, Episcopalian and Unitarian).

I would like to hear more from local church leaders regarding their interpretation of God’s teaching.

I’m not persuaded by selected Bible verses that seem to condemn homo-sexuality. Many quote Leviticus 20:13 (which I choose not to), but ignore many other verses in the same sec-tion that are obviously obsolete and no longer (or never were) meaning-ful. For example Leviticus 20:9 – “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.” As long as there have been teenagers, that’s made no sense. Or Leviticus 25:44 – “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.” Can a chapter with advice on procuring slaves really be cited as the last word on proper human relations? There are numerous similar examples.

For Christians, I believe the ques-tion isn’t answered by a few select verses, and focusing on these misses the point. It really comes down to believing in the central themes of the Bible: Love, acceptance, inclusion and forgiveness rather than judgment, fear, condemnation and exclusion.

I am an occasional church-goer and have visited several area church-es, and although I am not gay, I would not feel comfortable in a church com-munity that felt it necessary to pass judgment on those who are.

Fall City minister: Congregations are rising to courage

I appreciate recent coverage that encourages respectful dialogue con-cerning the lives and rights of people with minority sexual identities.

It’s especially notable to me how spir-itually faithful people can reach such different conclusions in this arena.

My own thrilling years as a follower of Jesus and student of the Bible have broadened my perspective and inspired a commitment to radical inclusiveness. As a United Methodist pastor, I’m so sorry that “Church” on the whole has a reputation for judging and excluding rather than embracing and affirming homosexual disciples. What a loss for those of us in the mainstream pew.

I’m grateful for a number of congre-gations across many denominations who transcend that reputation, and

I’m heartened by the faith-full courage of those of every stripe who dare to become who they fully are.

What are McKenna, Inslee’s gun views?

Both Attorney General Rob McKenna and Representative Jay Inslee want to become govenor of Washington state this coming November.

But so far I haven’t heard either one of them speak out in regards to holding gun owners more accountable if they leave a loaded firearm lying around unsecured—and it’s used by someone else to wound or kill an innocent per-son, like we’ve all seen happen to young children here in the Puget Sound region these past three weeks.

both cities are expected to approve the amend-ments. If they do so, both will begin collecting the impact fees on new development, as stated in the district’s 2011 capital facilities plan, $8,504 per single-family home, and $2,742 per multi-family unit.

For North Bend, the new fees represent a small increase for single-family homes, and a small decrease for multi-family units. The city has been collecting impact fees of $8,140 and $3,252 since 2011, but did not adopt the 2012 fee, because of concerns over the district’s failed bond measures in February and April 2011.

For Snoqualmie, the new fees will more than triple. Since 2010, Snoqualmie has been collecting $2,687 per single-family home, and $1,033 per multi-family unit.

When presented with the school district’s 2010 capital facilities plan proposing the dra-matic increase for 2011, Snoqualmie’s council balked. Mayor Matt Larson said the depressed housing market in Snoqualmie, and therefore the city’s real estate excise tax revenue, would suffer from the fee increase, and suggested delaying action on the fee until the school district passed its planned bond for a new

middle school. The middle school bond failed twice, and Snoqualmie continued collecting the old fees.

Is there any way for the school district to recoup the estimated $500,000 or more that the district didn’t receive due to the lower fees collected? No, Ryan Stokes, district business services director, “It’s just going forward.”

Councilman Bob Jeans attended the school board meeting, and told board members he thought his fellow councilmen would be satis-fied with the amendments.

The amendments were developed over sev-eral months of discussion with the Snoqualmie City Council. Negotiations began after the board began considering the 2011 capital facilities plan, with its single-family home fee increase last May. During that discussion, several board members expressed frustration about the city of Snoqualmie’s position, saying a specific indemnification was not necessary since it was already included in the interlocal agreement between the two entities. Board member Scott Hodgins wistfully suggested asking the city to implement a building mora-torium until it began collecting the current-year fees, too.

Impact fees are a tax on new construction that school districts are empowered to charge to pay for new school capacity in anticipation of enrollment increases.

Including court costs, the public safety budget would have exceeded $600,000.

An attempted levy lid lift failed by 30 votes in November,

leaving the council to debate how to proceed. After much discussion, they budgeted $474,098, and asked Carter to negotiate a new contract for police services, preserv-ing coverage without exceed-ing the budget. The contract

as approved will cost the city $453,883, about $20,000 less than budgeted. This allows the city a cushion against pos-sible police salary increases in 2013. The contract includes 2.25 full-time officers to patrol the city, with another half-position for administra-tive issues. It does not detail other items the city is obli-gated to buy, for the shared use of the Carnation-Duvall Police Department, including a new bulletproof vest this year, and potentially a new car next year.

Asked why the items weren’t in the proposed con-tract, Carter pointed out that the city had already gone two months without a contract, and said it might be possible that the city would not have to buy a car next year.

One of the questions the city will have to ask at that time, he said, is “Is it fair for us to provide three cars, with this level of manpower?”

None of the council were happy about voting to reduce police services, especially in light of recent break-ins in the area. A neighborhood watch is being considered.

Asked why he stays, Cleven thinks for a moment. His first thought is the ease of a five-minute commute to work. The next moment, he considers the people moving all around him, every day.

“It’s great people,” he says. “Working with good people and serving great people.”

Grocery store clerks, like anyone, have good days and bad. The job has its stresses, and cashiering is hard on your back and your feet, clerks say. Most customers are friend-ly, but there are always exceptions. A good clerk always has a friendly face for everybody, regardless of the attitude on the other side of the checkout stand.

“You work through it, and keep a smile on your face,” Cleven said. “On occasion, people ask, ‘How come you’re always smiling?’ Well, talk to my wife and kids. They say I’m always smiling,” too.

“Roger’s probably one of the most efficient guys we have around here,” said Weller. “He knows everybody. He’s made a lot of longtime, meaningful customer relationships, which is really important.”

Cleven’s been a department head, managed, been on the night crew—“He’s pretty much done it all, except cut meat,” Weller said.

The grocery industry, like most, has its chang-es. Cleven recalls the era when he started, before everything went digital. Clerks stuck price stick-

ers on all the goods, then had the unmissed job of peeling them off every time there was a price change. In the 1980s, the cash registers were just that. Computers and scanners came later, as the IGA gave way to QFC, and three store remodels after that. Soon, locals can expect the North Bend QFC’s video rental aisle to give way to an automated rental machine.

“There is always something new on the hori-zon,” Cleven said.

Cleven is a true hometown resident. He went to school at North Bend Elementary, graduating from Mount Si High School in 1981. He more than flirted with the idea of doing something else—Cleven got his master’s degree in educa-tion by working nights, and did some substitute teaching for a while in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but ultimately redonned his apron back at the QFC.

“I had so any years here,” he said. “It’s a lot of work here, but when I go home, I can be with the family, not thinking of planning lessons.”

His family are wife Rachelle and two chil-dren, teen daughter Erika and son Jacob. He runs a mobile DJ service in his spare time.

Today, Roger prefers the early shift, and you can catch him mornings at the QFC, usually ready to lend a helping hand and a smile along-side the self-checkout aisle, one of the newer innovations to hit local grocery stores.

Times change, but some things go in cycles. Today, there’s another Cleven on the job at QFC. Roger’s daughter Erika is working weekends.

“She’s the same age I was when I started,” he said.

Earlier in the day, a parent was helping one of her students with fractions while the majority of the class worked on the big milestone of long division. A few days before that, another parent sat down with a student who needed help with his reading skills, allowing Cronin to focus on a different subject. “That someone is willing to come in, take time out of their busy schedule, and read with a kid, is amazing,” she said. Having that extra help is invaluable. “It changes your teaching.” Cronin has known for a long time that she was going to be a teacher. “My mom is a teacher, and I just assumed that I would teach when I grew up,” she said. Her students, though, were always going to be younger than her mom’s ninth graders. “I have always loved kids, even when I was a kid,” she said, “I loved being around kids younger than me.” Although she’s taught, and enjoyed teaching several grades, and actually start-ed as a third-grade teacher in the district at Snoqualmie Elementary School, Cronin especially enjoys teaching the fourth grade. “They are a little more capable at this age. They’re eager to learn, and … between third and fourth grade, there’s a shift in responsibility,” she said. “They’ll do things without it being an assignment, because they’re interested in it.” This year’s class is particularly special to her, she says, for their empathy and kindness, too. They lost a beloved classmate in January, a girl who felt lucky just to be at school, and whose gratitude affected her whole outlook on life. Her death affected them all deeply, as well as Cronin, who had an additional burden.“As a teacher, you have to be able to help each child move on from that grief,” she said. With a classroom exercise based on the book “The Invisible String” by Patrice Karst, she illustrated for her students how they could honor and remember their friend. They each in turn passed a string to one of their friends, creating a web in the classroom, representing their connections to each other and their classmate. It’s a lesson Cronin has learned well, but she already knew it. “You need to make each and every one of them feel special,” she said.

Teaching became the obvious choice, so Bettine went back to school to get his teaching certifi-cate, and then, while he was there, he earned a master’s degree in instructional technology. During that same time, his wife, Sheri, was pursuing her MBA, so it was often challenging for the young family. It has definitely paid off, however.

“I think I’ve found my calling in life,” Bettine said. The family moved to the Valley 16 years ago, and Bettine took his first full-time teaching post at Snoqualmie Middle School, moving to Twin Falls in 2008 for the challenge of opening a new school. He’d always had an interest in math, so he knew he wanted to teach that subject, and he had an affinity for eighth graders. “They’re at that spot on the fence where they’re walking away from

childhood, but they’re not an adult yet… they’re testing where the boundaries are, but they still need that strong grasp on the past.” He helps them find that, and prepares them for success at the high school, by reminding them: “Here are those things that worked well for you in the past…. Don’t abandon those because you’re moving on to a different playing field.” After all, it’s what he did.

Although she wasn’t entirely sure she’d have the patience for the job when she started, Longwell now sees her 540-some charges as the best part of her day. “I really love working with the kids,” she said. As much as they teach her, (Longwell says she learns something new every day) the kids also learn from her. “I just treat everybody like family, treat everybody with respect,” she said. “If you want kids to show respect, you’ve got to show respect, too.” Mostly, though, she says, “I try to let kids know that they can talk to me, that I want to help. If I can just make a difference in one child’s life…” She sighs, then adds that all the staff at Opstad does a great job of looking out for the students, which is why she said she’s “humbled by this award.” Informally, she’s already been crowned the “Queen of All Things,” with a con-struction paper crown ornamented with all of the things a school secretary has handy, courtesy of a Kindergarten teacher. She won’t wear it, but she proudly displays it on her desk. “There’s my Band-Aids, and rubber band, and staples, and a cotton swab,” she points out. Bandages and other medical supplies are a surprisingly large part of Longwell’s job, since she’s also the backup staffer when her friend Carol Ganning, the school nurse, is unavailable. “The blood and guts,” don’t bother her she said, but she makes it very clear “I don’t do well with critters, anything dead.” She shudders as Ganning reminds her of the time someone left a container of crawdads on her desk. Then they both recall another work story, “the shark bite!” Longwell said it happened several years ago. For show-and-tell, someone had brought a complete shark’s jaw to class, and as it was being passed around, it fell. One student grabbed for it, and cut open his hand on the still-sharp teeth, “so we had to fill out an accident report for a shark bite.” As the little girl with the skinned knees was getting cleaned up, Longwell fielded requests for computer support, tracked down the IT person, took a couple of calls and answered some e-mail. Then the child was ready to go back out for recess. Longwell looked up from her desk to make sure she knew the way. She did. “I know it, I know the way,” she said. “Just think, if I can get here right from recess, then I can sure find my way back!” After sending her off with a thank-you, Longwell looked back at her stack of Kindergarten registration forms, smiling. “And you have to be able to multi-task,” she said.

Leisure Time returns to Center Stage with ‘Billy Dupree Show’

Join the cast and crew of a small radio station — KORK Radio, as they produce a live broadcast for the fictitious Leisure Time Soap company.

In its fifth installment of the “Leisure Time” series, a satirical take on the radio shows of the 1940s, Valley Center Stage presents the “The Billy Dupree Show” for one week-end only. Shows are Friday and Saturday, March 30 and 31, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are 12.50 for adults and $10 for seniors and students.

The show is hosted by an Orson Welles wannabee, Billy Dupree. Along with his announcer, band leader, faith-ful sound effects man, and some strange guest stars, Billy

stumbles through the show keeping to that old saying “the show must go on.” There are spoofs of old radio serials and commercials and musical numbers by the station’s song-stress Rhonda Reeter, accompanied by band leader John Chmaj and his Chmabees.

The cast includes Greg Lucas as Billy Dupree, Gary Schwartz as a hammy old time thespian with Robin Walbeck-Forrest as his equally dingy actress wife, actress-singer Kathy Roche Zujko plays the lovely warbler, Rhonda Reeter, Craig Ewing is the announcer, and Fred and Becky Rappin round out the cast and crew of KORK radio.

The show is written by local playwright Jamie Gower with music by the Cascade Jazz Trio (performing as John Chmaj and the Chmajbees).

Valley Center Stage has run “Leisure Time” shows since 2006.

Valley Center Stage is located at 119 W. North Bend Way, in North Bend, on the second floor of the Masonic Lodge.

For Best Volunteer Nels Melgaard, life is about activity, helping others

By Seth truScottEditor

Nels Melgaard was staffing Sallal Grange’s Dairy Drive table at the North Bend QFC, as he’s wont to do on Tuesday evenings, when a woman approached and decided to help.

Collecting basics like cheese and butter for the local food bank, Melgaard and fellow Grange volunteers also set out a little cash drawer, and passersby had dropped in a few five and ten-dollar bills. When the woman, who he didn’t know, dropped in a folded check, Melgaard thanked her and thought nothing of it until the end of their shift, when they counted the money. Unfolded, the check was made out for $500.

“You know, you just don’t know,” Melgaard says, recounting the incident. Melgaard can still be surprised by local generosity, and he’d be the one to know, given the sheer amount of volunteer work the man does in the Valley. This month, Melgaard was named “Best Volunteer” by newspaper readers in the Valley Record’s “Best of the Valley” poll. Before that, he was the 2011 Citizen of the Year for North Bend. He’s an active Grange mem-ber, longtime volunteer for the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club, highly active on a personal level helping others with substance abuse, and also connected and helpful to other local

efforts, such as North Bend’s downtown Block Party. A 16-year Valley resident, Melgaard is owner of The Nursery at Mount Si in North Bend, and is married to wife Anne; they have two sons, Wilkins, 16, and Christian, 12.

As he explains it, his community service is a product of his upbringing, and his own itch to accomplish.

“An idle mind and an idle body is dangerous,” Melgaard says. “I can’t sit still… In all things in life, the only way you keep what you have is by giving it away. What you put out comes back to you.”

He credits his parents—father Paul, who died two years ago, and mother Marilynn, who lives in the Midwest—with inspiring a life of activity.

“I had an example growing up,” he said. “My parents were involved with a lot of things, whether it was planning com-mission, city council.” Elected office isn’t really his thing, but as Melgaard says, “There is plenty to do.”

Sallal Grange, which closed briefly after a long local history, re-opened thanks to the efforts of Melgaard and others to bring it back with a new, younger focus on music and families.

Melgaard is humbled by the recognition.“People say, ‘So what are you going to do now?’ I go, ‘Nothing,

that was last year. Someone else is going to be running it.’”To Melgaard, that anonymous Dairy Drive donation shows

how easy it can be to make a difference.“If you’re not there, it’s out of sight and out of mind,” he says.

“When people want to contribute, make it convenient for them, and they will step up.”


Life is about being busy for North Bend’s Nels Melgaard. Tending plants at his business, the Nursery at Mount Si, Melgaard is active with Sallal Grange, youth wrestling, and other activities. He says it’s easy to get involved in your com-munity, if the avenues are visible.

Busy hands, purposeful life

Sno Falls Credit Union named Best Place to Work for second yearWe asked Valley Record

readers to tell us which Valley business was the best place to work at. At the top of the list: Sno Falls Credit Union, the Snoqualmie-based union with

five local branches, including one at Mount Si High School.

Based in Snoqualmie, the credit union is locally focused, with Valley volunteers on its board of directors.

Local connectionCelebrating her 25th year

with the credit union this February, Linda Trombley rose from being a teller to becom-ing a branch manager and loan officer. Sno Falls has invested in her career, and she is equally invested in the business on a personal level.

A North Bend resident, Trombley is one of those lucky locals who are deeply connect-ed to their hometown, where they live and work.

At Sno Falls, we are commu-nity-chartered,” she said. “I’ve been able to move up, but I’m staying in our community.”

“For me, it’s in the commu-nity where I have grown up. Our members are people that I know. There’s a connection with the community.”

She also likes the atmo-sphere— “I’ve always enjoyed my coworkers... they’re gener-ally community people, too.”

Always learningIan Rillios, a 19-year-old

Fall City resident, took a job at Sno Falls’ Wildcat Branch as part of his accounting studies at Mount Si High School. He’s now working full time at the credit union.

Rillios is translating that original part-time experience into a career. He loves the financial field, and is continu-ing his studies in finance.

From the student job, “I just kept progressing, learning more stuff,” said Rillios. For him, the best part of the job is that “You keep learning, every single day.”

Snoqualmie Valley YMCA named Best Organization to Join

According to Dave Mayer, director of the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA, the Y’s mission is to build a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.

“At the Y, strengthening community is our cause,” he said. “We do this intention-ally with programs that center around youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We work side-by-side with our neighbors throughout the Snoqualmie Valley to help kids and families thrive—and apply their positive behaviors and goals at home, school, the workplace and beyond.”

Youth development“We believe the values and skills

learned early on are vital building blocks for life,” Mayer said.

Being healthy means more than simply being physically active, Mayer says. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body.

To date, nearly 2,800 people have joined the local Y, said Mayer, who anwered the following questions about the organization:

How are you connecting with families and children?

We are connecting with families by bringing them together in a com-munity environment where they can interact with each other in a healthy and positive setting. Families have the opportunity to play basketball, go on a hike, take a group exercise class and just have fun with each other on a day-to-day basis through engag-ing programs. Kids are connected through a variety of youth and teen programs like After Zone (for teens) and Kids University (school-age chil-dren). They have the ability to get a

youth fitness orientation, participate as a volunteer and have fun playing dodge ball in the gym. We also give parents the opportunity to get a great workout in and take a class while their kids are cared for in our free Kids Zone Care where great staff keep them safe and have fun!

What does the future hold for the Snoqualmie Y?

We are looking forward to our first full summer and all the great pro-grams and activities that go along with that. We have an array of summer programs that parents can check out at ysummer.org or stopping in at the branch. We are also looking forward to developing programs for preschool age children and getting our youth sports programs going. We will also be releasing “Get Outside with the Y” for some fun and interactive outdoor activities during the summer months that the whole community can be involved with. We will continue to hold focus groups to make sure we engage our community the right way with programs and activities.”

Spirit, mind and body


Dave Mayer, founding director of Snoqualmie Valley YMCA, voted “Best Organization to Join” for 2012, said the Y helps build values and skills in young people.

Snoqualmie Valley


North Bend’s Gina Estep is Best City EmployeeNorth Bend’s Gina Estep,

the community and eco-nomic development director for the city, was voted Best City Employee in the Valley by R e c o r d r e a d e r s . We asked Estep to share her thoughts on what it means to work for the people, promoting growth and her community.

How do you inter-act with residents?

I interact with the public on many levels and enjoy it very much. Our economic development and city plan-ning efforts have created a number of volunteer com-munity based committees that ultimately include more than 50-plus volun-teers. All of these volunteer groups are the backbone to North Bend’s economic and planning successes. The successes the City of North Bend has seen in the past five to 10 years is a result of all these volunteer efforts and community support.

How does growth help your city?

Economic growth that builds and strengthens the city’s goals, vision and char-acter enables and strengthens a healthy economic atmo-sphere and most importantly

,lays the foundation for addi-tional economic growth by building and growing desir-ability to invest in North Bend, live in North Bend and visit North Bend.

What’s the hard-est part of your job? Most satisfying?

The hardest part: It seems there’s never enough time in the day.

The most satisfying: The people. I love working with the citizens and business owners to help ensure we realize North Bend’s long term vision and economic potential.

What keeps you doing this job?

I truly enjoy community development. Helping a city grow or progress in a

smart, healthy and sustain-able manner is fun.

What might locals not understand about your line of work?

City planning touches almost every aspect of the city from economic devel-opment to community pro-grams down to the smallest detail of urban design, such as sidewalk look and feel.

Thank you, Snoqualmie Valley, for voting the Northwest Railway Museum one of the three best places for a family outing in the Valley! Day Out With Thomas™ tickets go on sale to Valley Residents April 18.

Darby Summers is Valley’s Best Firefighter

Snoqualmie firefighter Darby Summers let out a cheer when he learned that he was voted Best Firefighter by Valley Record readers this year.

“That’s awe-some!” he said, but he was even more excited to hear that his friend, Snoqualmie Police Officer Sean Absher, was again chosen Best Police Officer.

“He deserves it. He’s my favorite cop and a good guy,” said Summers, who has been a full-time fire-fighter with the Snoqualmie Department since Jan. 1,

2001. He is also certified as an EMT and a Swiftwater Rescue Swimmer.

Summers and Absher were both involved in the dangerous rescue last May of Lynsey Grennan, who

got caught in the Snoqualmie River’s current when she tried to rescue her fiance. Summers grabbed a life vest and jumped into the current to help the woman, whose strength was flag-

ging. Absher, while not dispatched to the incident, was on the riverbank, wait-ing to pull them both to safety.

“That guy goes above and beyond. Seeing Sean on the shore with his throw bag

in May of last year, was a heavy moment in my life,” Summers said. “If anyone deserves a ‘best’ category, it’s that guy.”

Summers received a Medal of Valor from the city for the rescue, and Absher received a Medal of Merit.

Although he was on vaca-tion last week, Summers took some time to answer a few questions about his work.

What made you become a firefighter?

I ended up in this line of work because I love helping people. My parents were always quick to jump in and help someone in need, and I learned early on not to just drive by someone who

needed help. I was a volun-teer firefighter for two years before I got hired and I was hooked….I should prob-ably think about moving up in my career but I’m happy with my duties and have a lot of pride in what I do. I’d much rather be in harm’s way than order someone else to do it.

You’re a genuine hero to a lot of peo-ple. Who were your heroes in life?

There are some awesome firefighters in Snoqualmie, Fall City and North Bend, many of whom I grew up looking up to.

How do you relax, with such a stressful job?

I have two busy little boys who I call my men! Hunter is 4 and Caiden is 7, and

they are my world. I live right here in Snoqualmie with my girlfriend, Nicole, who is also a volunteer fire-fighter and EMT. We spend most of our time raising the boys and try to spend our free time in the outdoors. We love rock climbing and find our solace up in the mountains.

What’s the best part about working in Snoqualmie?

We have a great group of firefighters in this city. I’d still be volunteering if I didn’t get hired full time. Living in the community that I work in means a lot to me, this is my home-town. I love my job. This acknowledgement means a lot, too, as it comes from the folks of the community I serve. It’s a real honor.

Nurturing the future

‘Best Nonprofit’ Encompass helps children from all walks of life grow their potential

Established in 1966 with a specific mission—to nurture children, enrich families and inspire community—Encom-pass preschool today has spread from the Snoqualmie Valley to Issaquah, Sammamish and the Greater Eastside.

Encompass is a preschool, but it’s also much more than than that, say the people behind the organization. According to Executive Director Gregory Malcolm, Encompass pro-grams nurture both the typical children and those who are developmentally challenged, enriching families from all walks of life and inspiring community.

Encompass was voted “Best Local Non-Profit” in the Best of the Valley poll.

Below, Malcolm answered questions on Encompass suc-cess, vision and draw:

What makes Encompass successful? The inspirational Encompass mission, the expertise, passion

and dedication of staff to execute the mission and the deep and longstanding support of our thousands of program participants (especially parents and other caregivers of children), financial and in-kind donors, volunteers and others in the communities we serve. This support is especially important and heartwarming in the midst of our 45th anniversary year.

What’s something about Encompass that most folks around may not know?

Many in the communities we serve are familiar with one or two of our programs and services, but often they do not realize the wide-ranging breadth of our offerings, from nationally accredited preschool to therapy for all ages of children with speech, motor and other devel-opmental challenges, from parenting workshops and one-on-one coaching to Family Nights and a Childcare Co-op, from an imagina-tive array of summer camps and enrichment classes to support and advocacy for families in need. Also, many do not know that everything we do is evidence-based – in other words, has been proven successful by studies in other settings. In addition, some do not know that we have programs for parents of middle-school-age children and older, from Super Sitters to a Camp Assistant Training Program. Some do not understand that we serve families from all walks of life.

Specific developments, of which many may not be aware, include:

• The opening in fall 2011 of two new sites—Encompass Downtown North Bend at 209 Main Ave. S., and Encompass Issaquah in Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands—to augment our main campus at 1407 Boalch Ave. N.W., North Bend.

• The expansion in fall 2012 of our Monday-through-Wednesday preschool program to Thursdays and Fridays.

• The enhancement of our volunteer program that is leading to enhanced recruitment, training and retention of those contribut-ing their time and talents on behalf of Encompass.

• The launch of a groundbreaking, four-part Parenting Counts workshop series, developed by the Talaris Institute, at Swedish Issaquah starting this May.

• The growth of our new Social Skills Groups and the launch of two classes (“Feeding 101” and “I Have a Picky Eater”) in May, all for parents of young children.

• Two high-profile spring events that this year are geared to our 45th anniversary: the “Dream with Me” Spring Gala on Saturday, April 21, at The Golf Club at Newcastle, and SipFest on Friday, May 18, at Historic Pickering Barn in Issaquah. These events provide support that is crucial to our sustainability.

What does the future hold for Encompass? It is no secret that, even in this difficult economy, the Snoqualmie

Valley, Issaquah, Sammamish and the greater Eastside are grow-ing by leaps and bounds. With this growth comes a growing need for programs to serve children, families and their communities. In planning for the future, our staff and board are standing on the shoulders of giants who foresaw the need to build facilities, staff and programs to fulfill our mission.

We are indebted to this legacy in succeeding in an economic climate during which other nonprofits are struggling, and we are moving forward in enhancing our facilities, staff and programs in ways that serve our growing and changing communities and ensure our sustainability.

How can others get involved?Avenues for involvement abound. You can come and tour

Encompass, volunteer your time and talents. We have opportuni-ties that fit all needs and desires.

You can attend a fundraising event. The two listed above (“Dream with Me” Spring Gala and SipFest) are right around the corner.

You can also visit our website, www.encompassnw.org, and our Facebook page, learn about our wide-ranging slate of workshops and activities and sign up for one. Or, drop in anytime during weekday business hours and encourage others to do so.

How does it feel to be selected as Best Non-profit?

We are both proud and humbled by this distinction, and we are deeply grateful for the vital support of the communities we serve.

“Voted Best Handyman 2011”


‘Best Photographer’ is North Bend’s

Mary MillerBy Carol ladwig

Staff Reporter

You’ve probably seen her at many local events, but didn’t recognize her behind a cam-era. A North Bend resident for 20 years, Mary Miller loves photographing the Valley and its residents, and has recently written her first in a series of books, capturing the images of the area.

Miller is the owner and opera-tor of Mary Miller Photography, with a studio in ZO home, downtown North Bend, and she is the Valley’s choice for Best Photographer.

What’s your backstory?

I moved into the Valley in 1992 to start our family. I fell in love with the area, its beauty, and the variety of people I met from all walks of life. I love the Valley communities and the uniqueness of each town and its people within such a diverse region.

How did you get your start in photos?

I began as a student at Michigan State University, 32 years ago, working as a staff photographer for a 45,000-circulation daily publication. I was Photo Editor as a senior and then shot for the Lansing State Journal.

The experience of step-ping out into the world with the camera as my tool, changed me forever... Afterwards, it was off to Los Angeles and freelancing for years, from architectural imagery to portraiture.

What is your favor-ite subject matter to photograph?

I have long said, “all people, places, things I love.” This is part of the reason why I enjoy freelancing. But, I do love the challenge of a subject that stretches me in a direc-tion I never saw coming. Sometimes, as profession-als, we can’t control all the elements, but I continue to endlessly hone my skills to roll with the moment, and the atmosphere around me.

I recently met Annie Liebovitz, probably the most

influential female photogra-pher of my generation, while in Seattle at her book-signing. She inspired me … Although, I have had the opportunity to photograph people of fame and notoriety through the years, she was a ‘mentor’ as far back as my childhood . . .

It is how I hope to relate to people that has grown deeper with maturity and time in the art. It is that part of the art that is compelling and partly the reason why I feel more pas-sionate than ever about doing what I do, the way I am able to do it.

Photography has changed so much through the years but you have to find your own way to relate with your subject, releasing judg-ment, creating ultimately your own style, no mat-

ter who or what it may be. I love my career and I believe you can create your happiness, personally and professionally.

How does it feel to be chosen the best by your community?

It is a complete privilege and honor to be selected by the community. I see the world around me with a joyous eye. Working each and every day with integrity, and respect is important to me. I am community-driv-en, a relationship-nurturing embracer of positivity and supportiveness in other businesses, ultimately cel-ebrating all our successes. What a huge gift to hold to, and I am so grateful.

What would people be surprised to learn about you?

I worked as a forensic photographer for the East Lansing Police Department while in college. That one job made me see that humor can be used to relieve stress to all those around, even the photographer. I laugh as often and as hard as I work to this day!

Theatre, Smoothie, ‘Hunger Games’ on Chamber tour

The Wednesday, March 28, After Hours will be held in the lobby of the historic North Bend Theatre, 125 Bendigo Blvd., in North Bend. Participants will be able to party in the lobby and — as an added bonus — watch the big screen showing of “The Hunger Games” at 7 p.m.

Admission to the movie will be discounted to $5 for After Hours attendees, Walker said. Those who don't want to see the movie, but want to stay and network can visit Walker's adjacent business, Emerald City Smoothie.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY SON’S DOG!

I made a terrible mistake and gave away 3 Chi- huahuas last Summer, and one of them was my sons. She is a smal l , beautiful tri-colored Chi- h u a h u a , a b o u t 1 0 pounds. Her name is Ap- ple. My son talks about her every day and he is Autistic. I took the dogs to the pound in the Fin- ley/ Kennewick area. I felt overwhelmed with everything in l i fe and was not thinking. The pound said that the dog was adopted by someone in Snoqualmie area. H e r c o l o r i s W h i t e , B r o w n , B l a c k a n d Orange.

For Censullo, Tuesday’s well-fought win was about tough-ness, “scrapping out a game that we probably should have won a lot easier. But… a win’s a win.”

It was Liberty who applied pressure in the first half. The Patriots got on the board first in the seventh minute with a quick rebound of a kick stopped by Wildcat keeper Hunter Malberg. Five minutes later, Mount Si’s Matt Eichler replied with the first Wildcat goal. A Mount Si foul gave Liberty a penalty kick at minute 21, and Patriot Josh Johnson found the net, making it 1-2 Cats entering the half.

The rain never let up, but neither did the Wildcats. About 14 minutes into the second 40-minute half, Mount Si’s Kody Clearman evened the score on a pass from Censullo, paving the way for the winning goal a few moments later.

For Censullo, resilience comes from being a team in which many if not most players have spent years on club teams together.

“We’ve built up a lot of chem-istry,” Censullo said. “We’re all good friends… You could see that in the second goal.”

Clearman was fast on his feet, too, zipping around the flanks of Liberty defenders through much of the second half.

“I was trying to get in open spaces and make things hap-pen,” he said.

Clearman praised Stai and senior Davis Karaica for going all-out on the field.

“Stai worked hard, he went for balls 100 percent,” Clearman said. “We had more skill. We underestimated them for a little bit, but we came back like a good team should, and pulled it out.”

Following the match, coach Darren Brown huddled the boys under the still-falling rain, prais-ing their ability to play through blood, sweat and tears, and urg-ing them to keep bringing it all to the field. He wants to see wins for the rest of the season.

“There is a high bar of excel-lence we’re setting forth. They know that,” he said.

In Mount Si’s first game of the season on March 15, Mount Si battled Issaquah to a 1-1 tie at home. Senior Chace Carlson had the Wildcats’ sole goal of the game.

Mount Si next plays at Lake Washington on Wednesday, March 28, then heads to Juanita on Friday, March 30, 7:30 p.m.

Putting the shot, Copeland took sixth at districts last year, one place away from state. He was an alternate to districts at discus.

“This year, I am definitely aiming for state,” the senior said.

“When I’m in practice, I’m trying to work on what the coaches are telling us to do,” he added. “When I’m competing,

I’m thinking about throwing hard and far.”

This senior tells new Mount Si throwers to stick with it and improve their game.

“If this is their first year, getting better is the most important thing,” Copeland said. “If they make it to league, good for them… It’s basically improving and learning the basics, hopefully coming back next year, bolstering the team in future years.”

Copeland tests his field skills when Mount Si hosts Lake Washington and Sammamish on Thursday, March 29.
