A few years ago, if Chelsea Kearney were told she would be competing in the Miss Washington USA pageant, she wouldn’t have believed it.
“I would’ve thought that it would have been a little crazy,” she said. “I am not that kind of person. I am not that confi-dent.”
Clearly, her confidence has grown as she prepares to rep-resent North Bend at the 2014 Miss Washington USA pageant Oct. 18-19 at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien.
This is Kearney’s first expe-rience with any kind of pag-eant, although her mother, Elizabeth, was third runner up for Miss New York USA.

The best compliment Mark Hennig receives comes from reluctant participants after they’ve been through Night on a Dark Trail.
“They tell me they came because it is a fundraiser,” he said. “They leave saying this was good, very good.”
Hennig, the organizer and producer behind what has become known in the Valley as NODT, faced a new chal-lenge this year. The Halloween-themed fundraiser that benefits the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank has moved.
The fourth annual Night on a Dark Trail, Oct. 24-25, will be held at the Snoqualmie Community Park instead of its original location on an empty lot and trail on Douglas Street.
The new site presents addi-tional challenges to the all-volunteer group. Members need to clear the park after Friday night’s event for community soccer games Saturday and then reset each of the eight scenes before the 6:30 p.m. opening Oct. 25.
“What seems like insur-mountable challenges aren’t,” Hennig said. “We have optimis-tic people who just pull it off.”
In typical theatrical produc-
tions, scene changes are handled onstage and the audience sits in the auditorium. In NODT, the audience walks a trail from scene to scene.
Each year’s show is differ-ent — partially because Hennig, who writes the scenes and skits, doesn’t like to repeat things. Second, the volunteer actors change from year to year, which means characters change.

Why does he devote so much time to a community event?
“The stock answer is I hate golf,” he said. “But productions — they are magic, they bring excitement and fear and fun, and I get to write this one.”

Car crash closes Interstate 90 for four hours
At 2:11 p.m. Oct. 9, midday commuter traffic was snarled in both direc-tions of Interstate 90 near Preston after a multicar accident.
Joshua M. Harris, 28, of North Bend, was traveling eastbound in a 2007 Jeep Compass and crossed the center grass median, caus-ing a four-car chain reaction accident, according to the Washington State Patrol.
That caused Brett A. Smith, 20, of Snoqualmie, to lose control of his 2009 Ford Ranger and roll over. He was transported to Overlake Medical Center for his injuries.
Harris then continued into the westbound lanes, striking a 2003 Toyota Camry head on, causing it to strike a fourth vehicle, a 2001 GMC Yukon.
The Toyota Camry, driv-en by Mary E. Ferner, 19, of Snoqualmie, was engulfed in flames, according to the Washington State Patrol. Ferner was taken to Overlake for her injuries.
Harris was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for his injuries. The Yukon driver, Matthew F. Davis, age unavailable, of Bellevue, was uninjured.
All westbound lanes of Interstate 90 reopened at
6:30 p.m.The cause of the acci-
dent is still under investi-gation.
Get your kicks at the Sallal Grange
The monthly contra dance session and social begins at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Sallal Grange and Community Hall, 12912 432nd Ave. S.E., North Bend.

A soup-and-bread sup-per kicks off the evening. Dancing starts at 7 p.m. with waltz lessons, fol-lowed by the contra dance. Jay Finkelstein will be the caller. The Hot Cider String Band will be providing the music.
The event is free but donations are appreciated. Suggested donation range is $5 to $10.

Wildcats split last two golf matchups
The Wildcat boys golf team remains at .500 for their season, adding one win and one loss in their last two matches.
The team’s pattern of winning at home and struggling on away courses remains as Mount Si learns, course by course, to play on the unfamiliar links of the 4A league.
On Sept. 30, at the Bear Creek Country Club in Woodinville, Mount Si lost to the Redmond Mustangs by 12 strokes, 190-202.
Two Wildcats were able to pick up 4 total league points with their low scores on the front nine.
Junior Jimmy Jacobson earned 3 league points with his score of 38, the team’s lowest. Junior Alex Nelson picked up another league point for the team with his score of 39.
The next day Oct. 1, however, the Wildcats won their home match against the Eastlake Wolves, 188-192.
The Wildcats picked up a haul of league points in the match, 8.6 in total. Junior Mitchell Dover shot the team-low 36, which earned him 5
league points. Jacobson shot a 37 on the front nine for an additional 3 league points for the team.
Senior Mac Smith and sophomore Peter Yoshikawa both shot 38, earning 0.3 league points apiece.

Steve handed Doc the paper and pointed to the ad.
“That’s what it says,” Doc said, nodding.
So then the conversation got going. Some were of the opinion that a mistake was made when the ad was put in the paper, and you’re supposed to get a cookie recipe or something for your buck. Others were of the school that some joker places this as a gag.
“When I was packing mules,” Steve said, “the pack boss swore he was going to put a wooden box with a slot in it at the trail-
head and write ‘Scenic Route. One dollar’ and see if anyone was dumb enough to pay extra for scenery.”
“Aren’t all those trails scenic?”
“Of course. He never did it, though.”
“And this ad,” said Doc, shak-ing his head. “How many people would be dumb enough to just mail a dollar to Box 87 for no reason?”
Dud looked up and smiled. “Six so far, Doc. Six so far.”

It’s a little thing but important: A flu shot this month can keep you and your family healthy this winter.
Sometimes, people confuse what is the flu and what is a cold because they both affect our breathing. Adding to the confu-sion is the way we describe stomach ailments as the flu.
The real flu, or influenza, is a respiratory problem. A cold will make you or your children feel bad for a few days while flu can make you quite ill. The differences can be deadly.
With a cold you rarely run a fever, usually have a stuffy nose but you can keep functioning.
With the flu, your temperature soars, possibly for sever-al days, you ache and you’re so exhausted you can hardly move. A severe case of flu can develop into bronchitis or pneumonia and require hospitalization.
The flu can also be deadly. More than 53,000 people died from influenza in 2010, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. The World Health Organization esti-mates that influenza annually hits 5 percent to 10 percent of the adult population and 20 percent to 30 percent of children around the world and accounts for between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths a year.
A virulent form of flu swept around the world nearly a century ago and killed several million people. And that was before international travel became as common as it is today.
How do you protect your loved ones and yourself? The answer is simple — get everyone over the age of 6 months flu shots.
Don’t like needles? You’re not alone. On the good side, simple nasal sprays have been developed that are just as effective as injections.
If you have an infant or are around infants, it is even more important that you get a flu shot. You don’t want to risk infecting them because they’re too young for the vac-cine and are at a higher risk of complications if they catch the flu.
Others who should be at the front of the vaccination line include people older than 50, adults and children who have chronic diseases, pregnant women and people who live in group situations such as nursing, retirement or group homes.
Flu vaccinations can be the difference between life and death.
Get yours now.
Vote yes on Initiative 1351It’s simple. Every child in the
Snoqualmie Valley is worthy of the opportunity to learn in an uncrowded classroom.
By voting yes on Initiative 1351, you will provide our Valley’s children with the kind of educa-tion they deserve. Here’s why:
q Washington ranks 47th out of 50 states in class size. I-1351 moves us to the middle.
q It makes common sense — lower class sizes make it easier for students to get the attention they need to succeed in school.
q Small class sizes, which fos-ter better connections between teachers and students, are the basic building blocks for aca-demic success.
q The initiative also increases the number of caring adults who help kids succeed in school every day. Teaching assistants, librarians, school counselors, and nurses are part of 1351.
As Snoqualmie Valley educa-tors, we want the best for our students and ask you to vote yes on Initiative 1351 for smaller class sizes.

Vote for Jason RitchieRecently, there was a demon-
stration against Dave Reichert in Issaquah for bringing Newt Gingrich there for a $2,500 a plate fundraiser.
Yes, that Gingrich. The
Gingrich who shut down the government twice. The Gingrich who had 84 ethical complaints filed against him, and was fined $300,000. And yes, the Gingrich who impeached Clinton while he himself was betraying yet another wife.
If you have any doubt that big money in politics leads to corruption, just remember that a billionaire donor kept Gingrich’s campaign for President afloat.
Somehow Congressman Reichert wanted to be associated with Gingrich. Demonstrators carried signs reminding vot-ers of Reichert’s unpopular votes to shutdown the gov-ernment (at a cost of $25 bil-lion), to sue President Obama, and against equal pay for women. Another reminded us of Reichert’s 50 votes to repeal Obamacare. Other signs declared that “Money is Property NOT Speech” and “Corporations are NOT People.”
On a whole score of issues Reichert appears to represent the Tea Party, and not the voters
It was a contemplative kind of morning, each member of the vaunted World Dilemma Think Tank seemed to be content to think silently for a change, just sipping on the coffee refills and waiting for Loretta to bring more.
Steve, the professional cow-boy of the bunch, was reading the house copy of the Valley Weekly Miracle. Somebody else had already done the crossword, the sports page was old news, and if he wanted to keep up on church news, he’d probably attend every now and then. So Steve was belly deep in the per-sonal ads in the classifieds.
He looked more closely, and then glanced around the phi-losophy counter at his fellow thinkers. “Here’s something you don’t see every day,” he said.
The room grunted in reply. “I’ll read you the whole ad,”
he said, “’cause it’s short.”Doc looked up. “What’s it
say?”“Send one dollar to Box 87
here in town.”“One dollar for what?”“Doesn’t say. Just says to send
one dollar.”“You’re kidding.”

of the 8th Congressional District. If he wanted to represent his constituents, wouldn’t he be holding town hall meetings?
He has not held one since 2005.
There is a good alterna-tive: Jason Ritchie.
Ritchie taught history in college and currently owns a small business building access ramps for the disabled to be able to enter their homes. Mr. Ritchie believes in wom-en’s rights to make their own healthcare and repro-ductive decisions, while Reichert apparently thinks
government can do a bet-ter job.
Ritchie believes in making the changes to Social Security needed to preserve it, while Reichert has not even taken a posi-tion. Perhaps because he agrees with the extremists that Social Security should be privatized? Instead Reichert is content with working on solutions for problems that don’t exist like public assistance money being used to pur-chase marijuana.
Reichert has refused to debate Ritchie. Is it because of all of his unpopular positions? It is time to privatize Reichert? Or perhaps we should sue him for doing nothing?

“I got inspired by her,” Kearney said. “She’s awe-some. She is totally a role model.”
Kearney has spent her whole life in North Bend. At 18, she is very close to the age cutoff for Miss Washington Teen USA, also on Oct. 18-19. A pageant coach told the mother and daughter that Chelsea moved in a more mature manner than teenagers do. The younger Kearney opted for the adult contest.
The pageant is held over two days, a prelimi-nary night followed by the finals. The winner of Miss Washington USA goes on to compete for Miss USA. Miss USA will go on to compete for Miss
Universe. All of the contestants
will go through several sections, including eve-ning wear, an interview and the swimsuit compe-tition. Kearney’s swimsuit, interview and introduc-tion dresses are all black, and her evening gown is a vibrant red. Kearney said she is very fond of the introduction song, where all of the contestants walk onstage.
“It’s a very girly song. I love it,” she said.
Kearney just gradu-ated from Mount Si High School and now attends Bellevue College. She also works as a hostess at a res-taurant in Bellevue.
During her time at Mount Si, she gained performance experience by singing the National Anthem at a home game against Bellevue.
“It was scary,” she said.
But “it was so cool. It was the best experience I will ever have singing.”
Mount Si helped shape her in more ways than one. She got a taste of being in front of a crowd from her sing-ing but it was a teacher, Karen Rockow, who helped nudge Kearney toward her chosen career path: wedding planning.
“For me, personally, she was always there,” Kearney said.
She wants be a wed-ding planner because
she loves the challenge, the same reason she wants to get onstage. This pageant will be untested waters for her, but that is what makes it special.
“I wanted to try something new in life,” she said. “I’ve never done anything like this. I just wanted to do it for the experience of a life-time.”

Hannah Waskom and Lindsey Sydnor set person-al records in the Mount Si cross-country meet Oct. 8 against Skyline and Inglemoor.
The two, both sopho-mores, finished third and fourth in the 3-mile race held on a hilly course in Issaquah’s Klahanie Park.
“Hannah and Lindsey, I just can count on them to run a really good race, week in week out,” Wildcats head coach Christine Kjenner said.
Waskom finished with a time of 18:29 and Sydnor, 19.27.
“I think they handled the pressure and ran great races,” Kjenner said.
Grant Baker, a sopho-more, led the Mount Si boys with a time of 17:20, only 5 seconds behind his personal record. Tanner Sundwall, a junior, fin-ished a few paces later with his personal record of 17:26.
This was Mount Si’s
ninth meet of its first season in the KingCo 4A league. The team has two more meets remaining before the KingCo cham-pionships begin.
The team’s adjustment to the 4A league has been fairly smooth. Although the competition is nota-bly harder, the team has grown in number and experience since last sea-son, which has allowed it to stay competitive in the new, deeper league.
“I think this year is a lot about building and adjusting to 4A,” Waskom said. “I think so far we’ve definitely stepped up to the plate.”
The increased turnout for the team is a big factor.
“This year, we really built our team,” Sydnor said. “We actually kind of built more of a fam-ily dynamic, and I think people wanted to come out and run just to be part of that family.”

The Mount Si football team fell 41-16 to the Eastlake Wolves Oct. 10 in Sammamish.
The Wildcats got off to a slow start, forcing them to play from behind all night and they were unable to overcome the deficit.
Mount Si dropped to 3-3 for the season. The team’s playoff hopes for their first season in the KingCo 4A conference
now seem shaky at best.“We can’t get ourselves
started,” head coach Charlie Kinnune said. “We don’t come out very well. We don’t start play-ing until somebody hangs two touchdowns on us, then we kick into gear. That’s not going to get it done in this league.”
The Wolves came out snarling and hit the Wildcats with a touch-down in the first few plays. Eastlake dropped another touchdown on
Mount Si before the first quarter ended, and then one more just as the sec-ond quarter began. The score was 21-0 before the Wildcats could put together a successful drive downfield.
Senior quarterback Jonathan “Jo Jo” Hillel led his team into the Wolves territory with some solid passing. Then, junior wide receiver Parker Dumas pulled down a leaping catch in the end zone for the Wildcat’s
first score with 2:42 left in the first half.
The start of the second half didn’t go well for Mount Si. The team was forced to punt on its first possession after a holding penalty and nearly zero gain.
The Wolves immedi-ately put themselves in scoring position. Two minutes into the second half, Eastlake threw in their fourth touchdown By Sam Kenyon
The Mount Si Wildcat volleyball team took down the Inglemoor Vikings, adding yet another win to their undefeated (as of Oct. 13) season.
The victory Oct. 9 at Mount Si came when the Wildcats won three of the five games played in a hard-fought match that came down to the wire. The Vikings traded wins with the Wildcats, 25-23, 18-25, 25-20, 16-25, until Mount Si came through with the final win by two points, 19-17.
This brings the Wildcat season to a stunning 8-0, especially impressive con-sidering this is the first year Mount Si has played in the KingCo 4A league — a more difficult league than 3A, where they it last
season.Senior Anna McCreadie
led with an impressive team-high 31 kills, 1 assist, 2 aces, 19 digs and 1.5 blocks.
Sophomore Courtney Carr led the team in assists with 45 as well as 1 kill, 2 aces and 7 digs.
Senior Liz Larson came up with 11 kills, 4 aces and 12 digs.
Senior Jenn Rogers had 2 assists, 1 ace and 18 digs. Sophomore Cameron Kendall led the team with 24 digs.
Sophomore Katie Larson had a team-high 5 aces, along with 2 digs. Sophomore Sophie Click chipped in 5 kills, 1 dig and 0.5 blocks.
The game against Inglemoor was the second league match and eighth overall.

ily’s previous match Oct. 4 was the eighth annual twilight invitational held at Cedar Crest Golf Course in Marysville. The team performed exceptionally well, Kjenner said, and the energy was high. Many runners set new personal records that evening.
“I was very proud of the effort and the intensity the kids did in the invita-tional,” she said.
Following up an excit-ing meet like the Twilight Invitational with the brutal and hilly course at Klahanie Park is a tough transition, but the Wildcats pounded it out.
“The personal gains that we get from the sport are so much better than being the best out there,” Sydnor said.
One of the big differ-ences between last season and the current one is that many of the team’s runners put in a lot of effort in the off-season to improve. Even in the tougher 4A league, the increased training shows.
“Since last year, it has already paid off so much more,” said sophomore Jonathan Gendro, who finished with a time of 18:03.
The off-season work has meant the difference between being competitive and being destroyed in 4A.
“I thought we were going to get dominated going in 4A because in 3A we were getting domi-nated, but we’ve done so much better than I thought,” Baker said.
The boys varsity team members have come together as a group to help each other improve.
“The varsity boys are a really nice, tight unit
and they’re able to train together, work together and push each other,” Kjenner said.
Training and working together is a big part of the sport, but sometimes it is the opponents that make the runners work harder, Waskom said. She added that since coming to 4A, she feels the team has gotten faster out of necessity.
“We’re definitely seeing a lot of faster competition in these 4A league meets,” she said. “It’s really helped us improve our times.”
In 3A, the Wildcats could reasonably predict what kind of times they would see from their opponents. In 4A, all bets are off as they learn the new league’s land-scape.
“You kind of just have to trust yourself and trust your fitness instead of trusting times that you’ve seen,” Waskom said.

of the night.“We just kill our-
selves,” Kinnune said. “That quick start we needed in the third quar-ter, we didn’t get.”
The Wildcats strung together a few first downs on the next possession and put themselves near the goal line, but were unable to convert.
When the Wolves got the ball back, it wasn’t long before their quarter-back broke away for an enormous 51-yard run to the end zone. When Mount Si couldn’t score on the next possession, Eastlake took advantage again and scored another touchdown.
The Wildcats managed to score once more before the end of the game. Hillel threw a touchdown pass to Dumas with 9:36 left. Mount Si also picked up a pair of points off two bizarre botched snaps from the Wolves, which led to a safety.
Hillel threw for 166 yards and completed 18 of 37 pass attempts, including two touchdown throws. He also rushed six times for a total of 28 yards.
Junior running back Mark Farmer had nine carries for 35 total rush-ing yards. He also caught three passes for 29 receiv-ing yards.
Sophomore running back Cory Cotto had nine carries for 33 total rushing yards. Dumas caught three passes for 32 yards total including two touchdowns.
Junior tight end Colton Swain caught four passes for 53 total yards. Senior wide receiver Sean Hyland caught three pass-es for 20 total yards.
The team has been concerned with its tack-ling ability in the last sev-eral games, Kinnune said. But improving its tackling has been difficult because practicing tackling requires full contact, and several players have been unable to practice full contact due to injuries.
Mount Si will host Issaquah in its homecom-
ing game Oct. 17. The Wildcats will try to pull their record above .500.
The transition to 4A hasn’t been easy, and the Wildcat football program, used to overwhelming success, has to learn how to survive when it isn’t a big fish in a small pond.
“We just need to block, tackle, throw, catch,” Kinnune said. “There’s no magic to it. We just got to be able to get it done and we’re not getting it done.”

Hello, my name is Deanna and I own a deep fryer. There, I said it.
Truth be told, I try not to get too carried away with grease-dipped goods, but football season is a great time to pull the deep fryer out, fill ‘er up to the line and turn it to 350 degrees.
These cute baby corn dogs are super easy to make. Just place this list of ingredients into a medi-um size bowl and whisk together:
sodaq 1 teaspoon saltq 1/2 cup sugarq 1/2 cup honeyq 1 eggq 1 cup milkq 2 packages of Lit’l
Smokiesq Bamboo forks or small skewers
q Dipping sauces of your choice such as spe-cialty mustards, barbecue sauce, or ketchup
Place the mini dogs on the mini forks. Check the temperature on the deep fryer to make sure it is at 350 degrees.
When it reaches the magic temperature, dip a Lit’l Smokie into the bat-ter until well covered with sweet, corn-y breading batter and then quickly place over fryer, dipping partially into oil. Hold it and cook for about 20 sec-onds, and then drop the baby corn dog into the oil. Using tongs, roll it around so all sides cook.
I cook about 5-6 at a time.
When browned, remove them with a slotted spoon. Lay them on a paper tow-el-lined baking sheet to remove excess oil.
Set out bowls of your favorite dipping sauces. Serve the baby corn dogs after the sticks have cooled a bit but they’re still hot.
Smile as everyone cheers … for you.
