Day of silence shouldn’t use class time
I agree with the reverend. This should not be in our schools. I attend Mount Si and believe that this should be held before or after school. A high school is not the place for such things to be going on. We go to high school to learn not to be told to be quiet by the GSA. I am very tired of the day of silence and wish it to go away.

Thanks from a candidate
I want to thank those that supported me during my election bid.
We worked very hard to try to tell the other side of the issues. It is very difficult to beat an incumbent that is well liked. I was the only person in the entire city that was willing to challenge the existing thought process.
My campaign was always positive and dealt with issues instead of attacks. I still believe the community center is not something that is fiscally responsible in the long term. I believe our town can’t afford to operate a pool. Larger cities around the country are closing pools, but somehow, our city will be different?
I ran for office because I wanted to voice my opinions to the incumbents. If politicians aren’t challenged, they believe the direction they are going is correct. Please let the mayor and council know how you feel about the fiscal decisions they are making.
Lastly, I want to have monthly town hall meetings with those of you that would like to meet to discuss fiscal and long-term issues involving businesses and fellow residents.
I spoke with a few business owners during my campaign that stressed it is three to four times more expensive to open a business in Snoqualmie than most other towns. We need to change this. Please e-mail me at rosie1275@comcast.net with ideas.

New taxes are the answer
Most teachers are great and are woefully underpaid.
If you are scratching your heads about funding public schools, which have been chronically underfunded in this state for decades, seriously consider a state income tax.
This state has overgrown the provincial notion that sales tax will take care of everything. It obviously doesn’t.

Bomb threats are juvenile
Hey. I attend this school, and quite frankly this is ticking me off… Other schools don’t have this problem! So, why is it Snoqualmie Middle School?
I don’t really understand this at all. If whoever did this is reading this, you’d better know what you did was wrong, and you’re not cool for doing this. And the sad part is, the reason whoever did this, probably did it, was to get out of a freakin’ science test.
And you know what? We had to take it today anyway! Sure, no one wants to take the test. But that is absolutely no reason to make everyone leave the school, in fear that the school, and all their belongings, are going to be blown up! I hope whoever did this gets caught, ‘cause this really needs to stop.

As the Snoqualmie Valley continues to expand, conflict between people and wildlife is a growth pain that can be expected. As roads and houses cut into land once dominated by predators like bears and wolves, humans in the Valley may find themselves sharing space with some scary beasts.
