Fall City woman’s daring pose celebrates cancer survivors’ courage Never lose sleep over a hairstyle, is calendar girl Jill Holen’s advice. “There’s no such thing as a bad hair day, because it just isn’t that important,” says Holen, a former professional hairstylist. Neither, for that matter, is posing nearly nude in a fund-raising calendar.
Fire District 38, serving areas east of North Bend, is expanding. Within a year, seven parcels of land totaling more than 20,000 acres will be added to the taxpayer-supported fire district’s service area, some by annexation, part by formalizing a state action that gave it forest lands eight years ago. The fire district board is inviting public testimony on the expansion

Polluted pair purloined newspaper’s prized pumpkin
Colorful selection
Snoqualmie Police officers captured one of two young men involved in a pumpkin snatching during an earlymorning romp in downtown Snoqualmie. Officers were in the area around midnight Saturday, Sept. 17, when they spotted two teenaged boys in the 8200 block of Railroad Avenue Southeast, walking toward Southeast Newton Street. One of them was holding a pumpkin. The boys immediately started running from the police, who pursued them. The pumpkin-carrier then threw the fruit and cut through a back yard toward Park Avenue Southeast. He was never located or identified. His companion, however, was wearing a reflective jacket, and was seen running toward Falls Avenue Southeast. The pursuing officer ordered him to stop, but he continued to run. The officer used the radio to alert another officer of his position, and although the boy cut through a back yard on River Street and discarded his jacket, the officers located him hiding in the bushes of a yard in the 8200 block of Railroad Avenue. He smelled strongly of alcohol, and, when officers found his jacket a little way down the block, it had a half-empty bottle of whiskey in one of the pockets. After confessing to drinking five beers, the juvenile was arrested and taken for detention in Issaquah. Officers returned the pumpkin to the Valley Record planter box, where it had been growing all summer, attracting frequent neighborhood attention. The police and pumpkin enjoyed a quiet rest of the night.

Six cars crash after hit-and-run
A stone at a time
In Brief
Si View to hold community meeting on ballot measures
A late-night hit-and-run on North Bend Way caused a series of crashes that damaged seven vehicles and injured the occupants. Around 1:40 a.m., King County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to several accidents about a quarter-mile downhill from the Snoqualmie Casino on North Bend Way. A ‘90s-era Ford Mustang had crashed into a guard rail there some time earlier in the evening, and the driver, believed to have been intoxicated while leaving the casino, abandoned the wreck. The debris spread across the 50-mph zone caused another six cars to crash, causing some injuries, but nothing major, according to the sheriff’s office. Vehicles were everywhere, reported one deputy, investigating the crash. Officers have not yet located the man believed to be responsible for the original hit and run accident, but they are investigating.

Boosters of Si View Metro Parks will host a community meeting on the future of local parks and the upcoming ballot measures aimed at preserving funding for the junior tax district. The meeting, exploring the “Future of Si View,� is 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, at Si View Community Center, 400 S.E. Orchard Dr. Si View’s operations levy will soon hit the county’s levy cap. Without the bulk of its levy, Si View is looking at a raft of cuts. Voter support, in the form of two levy measures designed to make the district whole, would prevent this. Both measures are slated for the November general election. Proposition 1 would protect 25 cents of the existing levy from being automatically reduced. Proposition 2 is a one-year operations and maintenance (O&M) levy that would restore the remaining 19 cents on a temporary basis. To learn more about the meeting, call (425) 831-1900 or email to info@siviewpark.org.

Two things you didn’t know about your senior center Community centers offer meals, finds and a safety net for the vulnerable
D
VALLEY RECORD SNOQUALMIE
oes your mental picture of a senior center conjure up easy chairs, crochet crafts and old folks sitting around playing dominoes? If so, it’s time for a fresh perspective. It turns out that the notion of the center as an old-timey social club for the elderly is a bit out of date. Trade the crafts for Wii bowling and the easy chairs for dance lessons. Senior centers were created several decades ago to minister to seniors’ social needs. To stay healthy, we all need to stay mentally and SETH TRUSCOTT physically active. Valley Record Editor For our minds and bodies, it’s a case of use it or lose it, and places like the Mount Si Senior Center in North Bend and the Sno Valley Senior Center in Carnation exist just for this reason. But the centers also play a wider role, not only helping our older population stay nourished, active and independent, but younger people, too. Two programs, in particu-
lar, come to mind as things that you may not know about today’s senior center. First, their lunch programs offers meals at surprisingly low cost, and no-one is turned away. For someone on a limited income, this may be a vital source of food. Secondly, both of the Valley senior centers operate thriving thrift stores. Such second-hand shops are harder to find than they used to be. Our senior centers’ stores have grown to become major sources of revenue. They also happen to be a great way for people to give their old goods new life, or pick up something needed on the cheap. You might even be able to discover a hidden ‘find.’ Besides these outreaches, centers also act as important social safety nets for seniors. Through buses, benefits consultants, health screenings and meals, these places help citizens remain part of their communities.
The Valley’s centers are now looking for ways to broaden their appeal and attract new participants. It’s a good time to acquaint yourself with what happens here. The people that you meet there are, far from forgotten, still contributing to their neighbors in many ways. Do it for your own good. The more attention we pay now to our senior centers, the more likely they’ll still be there to help us in years to come, when we need them. t .PVOU 4J 4FOJPS $FOUFS JT MPDBU ed at 411 Main Ave. S., North Bend.

Time for a shot? I know it’s hard to believe, but the fall is already upon us. As evidence,
I submit that at least one person in our office has already been temporarily felled by flu. So it was surprising, but perhaps not unforeseeable, to find that Snoqualmie Valley hospital is already selling flu shots. According to the Centers for Disease Control, an annual flu vaccine is the single best way to avoid catching influenza. And everyone I’ve ever met who gets one swears they save them the misery of a prolonged bout of flu. Getting a flu shot probably doesn’t get much easier than this: The hospital’s Drive Thru Flu Shot event, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, at the SVH helipad, 9575 Ethan Wade Way, Snoqualmie. Shots will be available for people age 12 and up. The cost is $30, but the value might be your own good health this season.

I am writing this e-mail in reference to your September 14 edition. As I was reading the issue, I turned to page four and read the cartoon; the one asking, “Which natural predator poses the greatest danger to wildlife?� Being an avid hunter for many years, I was very offended by this. I can assure you that neither I nor anyone else I know resembles the heathen in your cartoon. What statement are you trying to make? There is nothing in your paper to explain your point of view. I double-checked in the fish and game regulation manual, and nowhere in there does it allow hunting with a bazooka. Before such a damaging accusation is made, some research should be done. Then you would know how the wolf population decimates elk and deer herds all over the country. You would see that because of the funds contributed by hunters to the state’s Fish & Wildlife Department (through the purchase of hunting tags) and due to ethical hunting practices, the deer and elk populations of our area have grown significantly.

Successes, improvements ahead as school year begins School is now underway and we have enjoyed a successful beginning to the 2011-12 school year. Positive things are happening in our schools as evidenced by the impressive accomplishments of our talented students. Last year, six of our schools received state-wide recognition for academic excellence, and the graduating class of 2011 earned over $7 million in scholarship funds. In addition to their academic accomplishments, our students continue to excel in extracurricular activities, the arts, and community service. Students are taking advantage of the opportunities presented to them and are receiving a well-rounded educational experience in our Snoqualmie Valley schools. In recent years, we have devoted a great deal of time, energy, and thinking to school improvement through a focused, system-wide approach to planning in each of our schools. The growth and accomplishments of our students show that these efforts are making a difference as the Snoqualmie Valley schools are among the highest performing in the state of Washington. While these successes are cause for celebration, we continue to look for ways to make our schools even better. During the past month, our principals and their building teams have been carefully analyzing state assessment results, as this data will be utilized to inform their school improvement efforts for the coming year. As in the past, each of our schools will be developing school improvement plans which establish priorities, focus, and direction in order to improve student learning. The fundamental purpose of our schools is to ensure high levels of learning for every student. All that we do in terms of decision making and action will support and drive us toward this premise. I believe we are positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that will present themselves during the coming year in order to take our schools to even higher levels of effectiveness. Most importantly, the students will be the beneficiaries of that increased effectiveness. Thank you for your continued support of the Snoqualmie Valley schools. We’re looking forward to a great school year! Joel Aune Superintendent, Snoqualmie Valley School District

Communities encouraged to donate to local food banks The mayors of several East King County cities proclaimed September 24 through October 22 as “Eastside Month of Concern for the Hungry.� The proclamations officially launch the annual “Share What You Can� campaign to benefit those served
by local food banks and feeding programs. The emphasis is to fill food bank shelves with non-perishable food items as the school season begins. Donation centers include various community centers, city halls, and fire stations.

Results from the 201011 school year assessments showed dramatic increases in science and math scores from 2009 in the Snoqualmie Valley School District. Reading and writing showed less improvement and some declines. As District Curriculum Director Don McConkey presented the overall results to the School Board of Directors Thursday, Sept. 8, he encouraged them to remember, “One or two years does not make a trend, you really have to look at the long term.” The results presented at the meeting were in comparison with the results of student assessments from 2009-2010. They showed increases of 7 to 16 percent in the number of students meeting the state science requirements on the Measure of Student Progress (MSP) and High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE). Fifth graders improved by 10 percent, with 84.5 percent of the class meeting state requirements, and eighth graders improved 7.2 percent with 86.7 percent passing. Sophomores had the greatest improvement, but the lowest initial scores. With a 15.8 percent improvement in scores, 64 percent of sophomores met the 2011 state science requirement. Math scores were up in grade 4, where 76 percent of students met requirements, and grades 6 (77.1 percent), 7 (73 percent)

and 8 (77.2 percent). Grades 3 and 5 showed decreases, to 77.9 percent of students, and 67.7 percent, respectively. Information on sophomore results was not comparable, since this was the first year that students were required to take the mathematics end of course (EOC) exam. Writing scores were already high in grades 4, 7 and 10, and did not change significantly. Fourth graders had 78.6 percent meeting state requirements, and seventh graders had 89.9 percent. At the high school, writing scores dropped slightly, but 94.4 percent of sophomores met the state requirement. Reading scores were the least improved, with higher scores reported only for grades 8 and 10. In grade 3, a stable 85.7 percent of students passed, but in grades 4 and 5, scores dropped, by 3.5 percent and 4 percent respectively, resulting in 81.3 percent of fourth graders and 82.7 percent of fifth graders passing. McConkey noted that part of this change could be explained by the change in third grade “from learning to read, to reading to learn.” Eighty-four percent of sixth graders and 75.4 percent of seventh graders met the state requirement at about the same level as the 2009 scores, but grades 8 and 10 showed increases of 4.5 percent to 84.9 percent of students, and 7.1 percent, to 95.5 percent of students, respectively.

Arrows and streaks of red were everywhere you looked amid the Mount Si cross country contingent, who hosted Bellevue and Interlake at Snoqualmie Elementary School Wednesday, Sept. 21. Bailey Scott gave Abbey Bottemiller’s hair a splash of red Halloween hairspray moments before the big race. The two sophomores led the Mount Si contingent with fourth and fifth, overall, with times of 20:57 and 21:06 consecutively on the course, just over three miles. “I like having Bailey to pace me and push me,� Bottemiller said. Interlake’s Niki Waghani took first for the girls with 19:42, while Bellevue’s Kyle Pratt led all boys with 17:45 Senior Richard Carmichael and junior Dom Canady led things for the Mount Si boys with fourth and eighth, respectively. Carmichael ran in 17:58, while Canady had 18:12. SEE TREK, 9

The Cedarcrest High School cross country team put in a strong performance Saturday, Sept. 24, at their biggest meet of the season at Lake Sammamish State Park. Tough competition and a sandy stretch made for a challenge, but up-and-coming Red Wolves made some team gains at the lake. Logan Orndorf and Mitchell Montgomery took second and third on the Cedarcrest top 10 list for this invite, while Amelia Anderson and Diana Carr are now sixth and tenth on the girls list. Orndorf and Montgomery are the second and third boys on the team to run under 17 minutes and Anderson is only the seventh girl to break the 20-minute mark. Among other highlights, Gage Catherman, Quinn Radbourne and Olivia Waterman made gains on the course over last year. Kayla Nelson ran three minutes faster than two weeks ago on a similar course, and Justin Mendoza and Dallin Candland also made gains. The Red Wolves run next Sunday at the 13-school Sunfair Invite in Yakima.

Eastside Football Club’s BU-18 Red team won the 2011 Puma Pacific Coast Challenge Tournament, held Sunday, Aug. 28, in Bellingham. The boys beat Three Rivers United from the Tri-Cities, 3-1. The two teams have played many times over the last few years. Last year, in the 2010 PCC tournament, Three Rivers beat Eastside FC’s BU-17 Red in the semi-finals. In last autumn’s league play, EFC beat Three Rivers and tied them in their two league games. The two teams met again in the state tournament championship game at Starfire on February 13, when EFC came back in the second half to take the championship trophy.

Boys with the Cascade Football Club’s U-11 Boys Gold team won their second straight tournament, Sky River in Monroe, on Sunday, Aug. 28. The boys outscored their opponents 20-3 over five games.

Pictured are, from left, back row, head coach Mark Niemela, Drew Harris, Jack Hickox, Cameron Choat, Jonny Barrett, Reed Paradissis, Bailey Dukich, Henry Clark, assistant coach Chris Paradissis, front row, Jaden Chong, Will Niemela, Jack Mandelkorn, Aidan Carels, Osmar Ramirez, Elijah Seneker.
TREK FROM 8 The fairly young Mount Si team came in behind Interlake and Bellevue in team scores. But team members praised the improvement and diligence of the many newcomers. Following the ScottBottemiller duo, Mount Si junior Angelina Belceto took 11th. Ashley Jackson followed at 14th. For the boys, senior Ben Houldridge followed at 11th with 18:32, while junior Tim Corrie claimed 18th at 19:28. Carmichael stayed up with the top five and held the lead for part of the race.
“I just need to kick harder at the end,” he said. The new home course layout made for some challenges. A gravel stretch slowed everyone down. “You get a good workout going through that gravel, but it’s not fun when you’re trying to get a (personal record),” the senior said. Canady, too, wasn’t satisfied with his time. “Next time, I’ll mark 400 meters with some tape,” so he can better pace himself. Carmichael shouted out sophomore Sean Hecker for his spirit. The sophomore finished at 22 minutes. “He did a really nice job today,” Carmichael said.
The girls’ sophomore duo also praised Corrie, Ryan Olson and Ben Houldridge. “Everybody is trying so hard this year,” Scott said. “I love pushing them on. They’re so enthusiastic.” The hairspray was Bottemiller’s spur-of-themoment idea. “We show our pride!” she said. “Spirit is good for the team.” Mount Si ran Saturday, Sept. 24, at the Bellevue Invitational at Lake Sammamish State Park. Scott had the best time at 18th with 20:14.72, while Carmichael led the boys at 33rd with a time of 17:09.98.
Jake Miller was in a new place as a tennis player. The senior, who started the year as part of a numberone-doubles duo with freshman Matthew Griffin, got called up to fill the numberthree singles spot last week. He duly complied and kept an even keel despite serious pressure from Sammamish’s Anthony Kao. “The kid was pretty good,” admitted Miller, who fell gracefully to Kao in two sets of six games, with two wins to his credit. The takeaway: “You can still beat people,” Miller said. Thanks to play ineligibilities in the standard Mount Si lineup, Miller wasn’t the only Mount Si tennis player to leave his comfort zone Tuesday, Sept. 20, during play at home against the Totems. Mount Si’s doubles teams came through the best. Number-two doubles Van Magnan and Clint Christen took three and four games respectively to Sammamish players Aaron Tam and Jason Habib’s two sets of sixes. Mount Si’s number-three doubles team of Rhett Haney and Jackson Foster had the best day Tuesday: They claimed a win in set one, 7-6, but fell to Sammamish’s Erik Wing and Kevin Monahan, 0-6, 3-6 in the following two sets. In other results, Mount Si dominated Liberty on Sept. 8, then suffered a drubbing by tennis-talent-heavy Mercer Island on Sept. 8. Against Liberty, senior Azhar Khandekar nearly held off Patriot Brock Mullers, 6-4, 1-6, 4-6.

Sophomore Kevin McLaughlin serves to a Mercer Island during doubles play at home Sept. 13. In recent weeks, Mount Si tennis has improvised with its lineup and is building skills. “Mentally, it was an outstanding match,” coach Jim Gibowski said. “That’s telling me a lot about his mental toughness.” “I just keep telling myself, it’s not over until it’s over,”
VOLLEYBALL FROM 8 “Everyone needs a shout-out,” McDonald said. “Tonight was about coming onto the court and playing out game, keeping a nice even keel with intensity.” “We worked as a team today, and that’s what we needed,” added Smith. Junior Genevieve Knoppi showed her game face in delivering from the back line, delivering two aces during her service stint in game three. “I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better,” she said. Head coach Bonnie Foote complimented Knoppi’s play. “I’m gonna give her more opportunities for sure,” she said. The coach also had good words for Galloway’s defensive play.
Khandekar said. “Just keep pushing.” t .PVOU 4J IPTUT #FMMFWVF on Thursday, Sept. 29, then heads to Interlake on Tuesday, Oct. 4. Game time is 3:45 p.m.
Besides a few errors, the senior felt play was solid. She’s happy with her senior season’s progression so far. “It’s really fun to finally be on top and feel like people are looking up to you,” she said. In other highlights, Lyndsay Carr had three kills, four aces and one full block. Lexi Read had an assist and two aces, and Kailey Capelouto had two kills, an ace, two digs and three full blocks. Noelle Stockstad had three assists and four digs. The Wildcats came into Wednesday’s game off a Monday, Sept. 19, road win against Juanita, 25-16, 25-22, 25-14. Mount Si varsity volleyball heads to Mercer Island tonight, then is at Liberty on Monday, Oct. 3. Game time is 7 p.m. The girls are now 5-0 in league, 8-3 overall.

here’s dirty jobs, and then there’s what Bria Lund does. Gray September clouds roll overhead as Lund details the last of the cars in a lineup of DirtFish Rally School’s fleet of sports sedans, making sure to scour the floors of caked soil. “Usually my legs are covered in mud,” she says. “I get some stares.” Instructors get the cars so dirty, “Sometimes, I feel like they do it on purpose,” Lund said. Still, she knows what she signed up for—the name, after all, is “DirtFish.” It’s a messy task, but “I quite enjoy it,” Lund said. “I know it’s behind the scenes,
but it’s a well-needed job, so I’m happy to do it.” The result of all this hard work is only temporary. Lund’s midday scrubdown, done during rally students’ lunch break, will be undone in a flurry of mud and gravel a few minutes from now. It’s an extra touch, part of DirtFish’s emphasis on the customer experience. By finding spic-and-span Subarus that students can dirty all over again, “They know that we care for them,” Lund said.
Customer service That attention to duty and detail is what DirtFish President Ross Bentley calls “the wow factor.” DirtFish will mark its first year in business in October, a big and busy one. In its first year in operation, DirtFish has seen more than 2,000 customers get behind the wheels of its Subaru sports
sedans. Vehicles have racked upwards of 6,000 miles in that year, without ever leaving Snoqualmie. “The growth has been faster than any of us predicted,” Bentley said. Rally car racing is a sport that has been big in Europe for years, but is just going mainstream in the United States. Differentiated from road or circuit racing, in which drivers race wheel to wheel at high speeds on closed tracks, rally takes place one car at a time, typically on gravel or dirt such as forestry roads. In circuit racing, the driver sees one turn hundreds of times. In rally, the driver sees a corner only once, then tears off to a new one. Rally and the attendant sport of rallycross, or rally racing on a closed circuit, is growing in America thanks to the popularity of things like the X Games and video games. SEE DIRTFISH, 22

When owners disappear, rescuers step in to give energetic Alaskan Malamutes a new home BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
Bruno, a 170-pound Malamute, is not impressed with the newcomer. The wolflike dog strains at the end of his leash, growls, howls and stares the stranger down. If he hadn’t looked like a huge stuffed toy, it might have been completely intimidating. Intelligent brown eyes, enormous paws, and a dense fluffy coat all made Bruno seem more huggable than threatening,

At 170 pounds, Bruno seems to dwarf his owner, Jim Ross. Alaskan Malamutes seem like they might make good guard dogs, but their friendly nature is more that of a lap dog’s.

“Somebody quit on her when she had a litter,� Michelle says, tightlipped. That was about a year ago. Michelle had been volunteering with WAMAL as part of her community service work to finish her degree. She fostered some animals, and did transports, and had already fallen in love with the breed. “Clyde was pretty much hook, line, and sinker for me,� she said, explaining that she’d adopted Clyde in May 2010, when all she was supposed to do was take care of him for a short time, then send him on to his new home. After she found out that an older male Mal at the new home had rejected Clyde—only 72 pounds when he was rescued—and he’d been sent back to the kennel, she started the process to adopt him. “So Clyde is a foster failure,� Michelle jokes, “and someone called Roxy a transport failure.

though, and it turned out he, like most Malamutes, was all talk. After a couple more “woos� and a sniff, he settled down on the grass with his people, Jim and Connie Ross. Most of his act was intended to impress Roxy and Clyde, the two Malamutes he was visiting, anyway. “It’s all about the show, the drama,� Connie explained. This way of demonstrating to others who is (supposedly) in charge is a strong trait in Alaskan Malamutes, or “Mals.� Establishing dominance may be part of Mals’ DNA, because many owners believe the breed is descended from wolf ancestors. “Hence the ‘woos’ and the howls,� said Michelle Reaves, a volunteer with the Washington Alaskan Malamute Adoption League (WAMAL). Michelle belongs to Roxy and Clyde, both rescues from WAMAL in the past two years, and she says its unusual to hear a bark out of her 86-pound female or her 102-pound male, but they talk all the time, in clipped howls called woos. “If he gives out a bark, it turns almost instantly into a woo,� Michelle said of Clyde. It’s easier to imagine these imposing dogs as the rescuers, not the ones needing rescue, but Michelle said that WAMAL takes in about 100 Mals each year, some surrendered by owners who can’t give them the exercise or space that they need, some abandoned. Roxy fell into the second category. WAMAL found her on the street, with a litter of five week-old puppies.
volunteer who brought her here to the kennel‌ She never made it past crawling in my lap and being brought home.â€? Roxy still tries to crawl into her lap sometimes, even at 86 pounds. Usually it’s when she’s been corrected for disobeying her training, something she does periodically to test her place in the pack. “We are their pack, and there is definitely a pecking order,â€? says Bruno’s person, Jim. Maintaining the spot at the top of the pecking order is critical for Mal owners, because “These two are independent thinkers,â€? Michelle says. “They’re not like the retrievers and a bunch of the other breeds that are fully intent on pleasing their people. These guys will ignore you just as fast as anything else, and they might come when they feel like it.â€? That personality trait is both a strength and weakness for the dogs. Mal owners love them for all their quirks, but people new to Mals may not be prepared for the hazards of living with a big willful dog, clever enough to create his own fun when no one’s around. Most owners just laugh off the misadventures, but some of those misbehaving Mals end up with WAMAL. “The expectations are not what they should be,â€? says Michelle. Connie puts it more directly. “People adopt these dogs as puppies, and then they get huge like this, and I don’t think people realize what the food bill’s going to be, and the vet bill, or how much power they really have.â€? Life with an Alaskan Malamute is not for everyone, but for the right people, life without one is unimaginable.

New face in center’s top job
Center introduces country dance classes
Interim director brings family feel to senior center BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
When Janet Fosness changed jobs in 1990, she was looking for something more fulfilling. What she found was a second family, and a career she could love. Now the interim director of the Mount Si Senior Center, Fosness was hired then by her friend, Ruth Tolmasoff, to help her run and grow the community center. At the time, she probably didn’t realize she’d stay for 21 years, and counting. “I was a camp cook at Camp Waskowitz, so basically I traded fourth and fifth graders for 55- and 65-yearolds,” she laughed. Joking or not, the move was a trade up for Fosness, who took on the interim director role Sept. 2 when Tolmasoff retired. She explained that she’s stayed with the center because “You get to know the seniors and it’s kind of like a real family ... It’s a different job every day, and it’s fun.” Fosness has held the job of interim director since Tolmasoff retired Sept. 2, but she hopes the Board of Directors chooses to make the position permanent for her. It’s the job she wants, not necessarily the title, though. When she worked with Tolmasoff, she said, “We never went too much on titles because what one didn’t do, the other one did.” She’s seen lots of changes in the center over the years, including a flood and renovation, expanded programs, and the creation of the nutrition and transportation programs. There’s a lot that she still wants to do, and the difficult economy really seems to be just one more problem to solve. Grants and contributions from the state, King County, Cities of Seattle, North Bend and Snoqualmie, and other sources have been gradually shrinking, and Fosness expects that trend to continue. “But I’m not dependent on that money, I’d like to raise more on our own,” she said.

Glen Blomgrens signal the next move for the country line dance class he and wife Julia, left, teach on Tuesdays at the Mount Si Senior Center. Dance is one of the many programs the center offers to all members of the community.
SENIORS FROM 1 The Blomgrens are just two of the many contributors to the full schedule that the center runs every week in North Bend. Besides the dance class and daily lunches, members and visitors can take advantage of classes on senior-specific topics like Medicare and Social Security, as well as general classes in investments, history, wellness and whatever subject people ask for. There are special monthly programs, quarterly nutrition classes, Friday afternoon outings, and an ongoing Wii bowling league, too. “Each month we try to have a special program above whatever else we’re doing,” said Janet Fosness, who took over as interim director of the senior center earlier this month when Ruth Tolmasoff retired. Next month, for instance, the center will host a program with founding father John Adams, as played by a Seattle attorney, and November will include Veterans’ Day observations. Fosness thinks some of the regular offerings are pretty special, too, like the Laughing Club. “I love that class, it’s one of my favorites,” she said, explaining that “it’s just a form of exercise, except when you do it, you put a laugh into it.“ It’s a serious workout,too. “I’ve taken that class, and it tired me out!” Fosness said. All of these classes, like most of the senior center’s offerings, are available to anyone in the community, no matter their age. The same is true for the center’s eight yearold transportation program, which offers 50-cent to $1 rides to anyone in the Valley, from Monroe to North Bend. In fact, only one of the center’s offerings, senior housing, is restricted to seniors only. The 33-year-old center has owned a 40-unit low-income housing facility for seniors, Sno Ridge Apartments, since the early 1980s. “We have tried in the past for an assisted living facility,” Fosness said, but Sno Ridge is strictly for people who can live independently. So is the center itself, but Fosness says newcomers frequently mistake it for a nursing home.
“We’re an activity center, we have no Snoqualmie Tribe, which make the entire beds, and no pillows,” Fosness says. program possible. One of the center’s most important offer“Basically, our rides are 50 cents, and you ings to seniors is the opportunity to gather can’t afford to run eight buses on 50 cents a and socialize, through knitting and craft ride,” Fosness said. clubs, the various classes, and meals.

“Here, I feel like this is all my family.”
All the dancing stopped when Julia Blomgren announced “High-five for Carol!” Her husband, Glen obligingly slid over to his blushing student – she’d just mastered a tricky combination of steps – for a high hand slap, and then he slid right back into the dance steps. And that is how the Blomgrens, the new dance teachers at the Mount Si Senior Center on Tuesday mornings, run a class. While Glen directs the large group, Julia can work with one or two students independently, until they all know the moves. “We’ve always made up our minds to never go forward until everybody’s got it,” Julia explained. It’s a principle that they’ve learned from 21 years of teaching together, and one that gives everyone a chance to celebrate their progress. “They’re supposed to get rowdy when they do it right,” Glen said, and this morning’s class of nine, including some seasoned line dancers, a couple of belly dancers, and a brandnew couple, knew how to do that, with hollers, hugs, and more high-fives. The class focuses on country line dancing, a little different from the class that Lupe Filson had been teaching, but with the same health and mental benefits of any type of dancing. Glen pointed to research that indicates dancing may prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s and said “If it doesn’t reverse aging, it certainly holds it at bay.” Many of his students agree, including Gerry Guenther, 82, who also belly dances. “What better way to get exercise,” she asked. The country aspect is still pretty new, though, which was clear as students changed out of their dancing shoes after class. “We haven’t really talked about shoes,” Glen said. “We’re more into boots.” Country line-dancing is taught at 11 a.m. Tuesdays at the senior center. Instructors hope to soon add an evening couple’s class, and eventually hold monthly dances at the center.

COURAGE FROM 1 Holen, whose own hair is shiny, blonde and beautiful, has fought hard for this perspective over the past 10 years, ever since she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and thought she was going to die. “It was an extremely scary thing, because I’d never known anyone to go through cancer treatment before,� the Fall City woman said. “The only comments I’d ever gotten from anybody were ‘oh, my aunt had it just like you, and she died,’ so not very helpful.� Her family, friends and the cancer program at Overlake Hospital got her through. About a year later, cancer-free, she found what she’d been hoping for when she was a new patient, the nonprofit Angel Care. “It’s a positive place to be and to help people,� she explained. Angel Care, founded by breast cancer survivor Jan Harris, connects other survivors, women and men, with newly diagnosed cancer patients for mentoring and support. A volunteer mentor, Holen is now the angel she’d wished for 10 years ago when she got her diagnosis. “I was in such terror the whole time,� she said of her treatment. So, when she heard about Angel Care, she knew it was for her. “I just wanted to help other women not be so scared for the journey, because it truly is a journey, and unless you’ve been there, you just don’t know.� Her own journey included two

lumpectomies, daily radiation, chemotherapy, going “balder than a billiard ball,â€? and a few years later, a hysterectomy to remove uterine cancer that may have been caused by the tamoxifen she took for five years for her breast cancer. She continued working throughout her treatment, at Chief Kanim Middle School (she is now at North Bend Elementary) where her special education students learned about cancer right along with her. “The kids just rallied around me. A lot of the kids would come and ask questions‌ and one little girl would touch my ‘hair,’â€? she said. “They knew the medicine made my hair fall out, but that it would come back, and I would be well.â€? She knew it, too, but she also knew she had to keep on fighting the cancer, however she could. “My last day of radiation was May 7 (2002) and in August I did the 3-Day walk,â€? a fund-raiser for cancer research. “I just kept thinking it was another mountain to climb. It was another step in getting well‌.Your mental status has everything to do with your progression and your well-being.â€? Showing that courage has made Holen a role model at Angel Care, but her other modeling role for the organization, the calendar, made her dig even deeper into reserves of courage. “God knows I never thought I’d pose in a nude calendar,â€? she said. But that was three calendars ago. Angel Care’s 2012 fundraising calen-

Far from being embarrassed by the calendar, which goes on sale this week, Holen says “It makes me proud that I’ve fought my fight.� This year’s calendar is particularly special to Holen because she finally got her month of choice—May, for her birthday, and for the milestone it represents. “I finished out my five years on the Tamoxifen, and then I just finished my fifth year of Arimidex, so I’m medicine free now,� she said. “It’s kind of a big step, kind of a scary step, too.� Her family, husband Al, daughter Kristin and son Tim, and friends have been with her every step of her journey so far, she said, adding that she feels really blessed for that alone. Cancer has changed Holen’s life in other ways, too. “Being a hairdresser, hair’s been important to me all my life,� she said, but after she lost her own hair, she heard a colleague complain of staying up all night fussing with her hair after a bad haircut, and “I said ‘I can’t connect with that,’ and put my hat on, and walked away.� “I have learned a lot about myself, in what’s important, and what’s little,� she said. “Your priorities come right to the surface. I don’t take days for granted.� t 5P MFBSO NPSF BCPVU "OHFM $BSF visit www.angelcarefoundation.org.

at its next meeting, 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4, at the North Bend Depot. District 38 is not required to hold a public hearing on the expansion, since 76 percent of registered voters signed the petition to annex about five acres of privatelyheld land. The bulk of the property is forested land that had been under DNR fire protection, but was placed under District 38’s protection in 1994 by the state legislature’s passage of WAC 332-24-730, which allocated forest lands to several fire districts. The expansion will formalize the relationship between the district and the owners of both types of property, with a combined assessed value of roughly $23 million. “It’s not a huge number in terms of the assessed valuation of the district,� said board member Ron Pedee, but “it’s still property that we protect.� Property owners “should be able to vote,� he added. The legislation that moved the forest lands into District 38’s service area was unclear on a few points, however, including how long the property would remain with the district. Because of that, the owners of these properties have been left out of some public processes. Although the King County Assessor’s office taxes them as being part of District 38, the King County Elections department does not rec-

Above, one of DirtFish’s Subaru WRX-STI rally cars tears it up on a gravel track. Below, DirtFish President Ross Bentley, left, and General Manager Greg Lund, stand next to a map of the course in the school building, a former lumber mill office.
“Rally and rallycross are becoming the new road racing,� Bentley said. Young people who grew up playing games like “Colin McRae’s DIRT� can now do it in real life. “We’ve created a real-life video game for grown-ups.� The idea of a rally car school isn’t unique. Two such schools already operate in Florida and New Hampshire. DirtFish, though, is pioneering a new way to teach people to rally. “We’re in the business of helping people feel alive,� Bentley said. “They come here and learn things that stretch them, that sometimes are a little outside their comfort zone.� “There is an absolute rush to it,� said customer Frank Conway. Manager of a high-risk driver-training program, Conway came all the way from Fredericksburg, Va., for an education in safe driving. He got that, but he also had a blast. DirtFish’s business model has three parts. The first is aimed at the private individual who wants to learn how to drive a rally car. The second part is camps aimed at team-building activities for corporations. This past year, DirtFish held such camps for companies like T-Mobile, Google and Microsoft. “It’s all about working together to solve a problem,� Bentley said. “They learn to communicate, trust each other and work as a team.� The third portion of DirtFish’s model is military training for soldiers who want to learn how to drive in extreme situations. Looking ahead, the business plans to gradually grow its consumer courses while massively expanding in the corporate teambuilding events and military-police training.
Adaptive Action This summer, DirtFish partnered with Adaptive Action Sports to give wounded military personnel and other drivers with physical challenges a taste of the extreme. Adaptive Action helps participant enrich their lives and show others that they can live beyond their limitations. Before DirtFish opened up the possibilities of motorsports, the group mostly used skateboard and snowboard facilities. A two-day camp in July helped soldiers dealing with post-
traumatic stress disorder to rebuild their trust. Instructors sometimes need to adapt their own methods. Working with a driver who was deaf, “We had to come up with hand signals in front of his face,� instructor Don Wooten said. DirtFish instructor Nate Tennis worked alongside Supercross rider Chris Ridgway, who lost his leg in a motorcycle accident. “He drove incredibly well,� said Tennis. They had to improvise a bit, but Ridgway’s prosthetic leg handled DirtFish’s two-leg powersliding lessons—one foot pumps the gas while the other pumps the brake—with surprising skill. “Sitting in the right seat and watching that happen just blew me away,� Tennis said.
Fueled team Much of the first year’s successes at the school can be ascribed to the youthful vibe and commitment of the staff, and to the rally school’s Valley location. From Jamie Billadeau, the office receptionist who can step in to help customers with last-minute auto emergencies, to Luke Wyrsch, the local guy whose day as a student turned into a job in the DirtFish auto shop, there are many examples of passion in this small staff. “It’s an absolutely amazing place to work, hang out, everything,â€? said Billadeau, a motorsports nut herself. DirtFish instructors and staff bring a mix of rally and race experience and people skills. DirtFish has also benefited from its Snoqualmie location, a half-hour drive from Seattle and with existing hospitality and amenities. “This place is incredible,â€? Wooten said. “I feel so lucky we have this property to play with, I mean, work out of.â€? “Incredibleâ€? is also how Wooten describes his experience as one of DirtFish’s wingmen, guiding newcomers to the sport of rally. “The coolest part of being in the right seat is feeling them ‘get it,’â€? he said. “When the car does what they ask it to do‌ they feel it and they’re able to reproduce it, it’s amazing. ‘Yeah, you’ve got it!’â€? To Bentley, the most satisfying part of his job is seeing all the smiles, of his customers and staff. “It’s an incredible workplace culture,â€? he said. The jobs are fun, but “not a single person is satisfied with where we’re at.â€? t %JSU'JTI 3BMMZ 4DIPPM JT MPDBUFE BU UI %S 4 & PVUTJEF Snoqualmie. Learn more about the school at www.dirtfish.com.
