Mike Love figured he would be working in the family busi-ness when he grew up. During high school summer breaks, he worked in the paint shop, wood shop and metal shop of the sheet metal factory in Southern California.

His music?That was just something he

and his cousins fooled around with for family gatherings and local parties. Until 1961 — that’s when Love and his Wilson cous-ins and a friend became The Beach Boys and released their first surf rock song, “Surfin’ Safari.”

Love’s career as the band’s

lyricist and lead singer has been a continuous wave of musical hits ever since.

The band will appear at Snoqualmie Casino at 7 p.m. Aug. 30.

As a staple of American rock, The Beach Boys have epitomized the ideal of summer with song after song about surfing, girls and California beaches. That’s been just the curl of the musi-cal wave, though. They’ve done many songs since 1961.

Love pointed out in a recent telephone interview that the group’s music has dealt with some tough issues, too.

“We did a song that said don’t go near the water,” he said. “It alludes to the pollution

of the waterways that feed into our beaches.”

Indeed, Love has been a long-time supporter of environmental causes as well as numerous other charities.

“All celebrities that I know do work for charities,” he said. “As an entertainer, it is nice to do something with your career that helps others.”

At an age when many people retire — he was 73 in March — Love still enjoys performing and writing music. The concert tours are fun, he said.

“We’re doing about 135 shows or more a year, which is pretty phenomenal when you

The Snoqualmie Valley Community Network launched the Sno-Valley Volunteer Match online program at www.snovalleyvol-unteermatch.org Aug. 26 to connect volunteers with area nonprofit organizations that need help.

The site lists volunteer opportunities throughout the Snoqualmie Valley, and includes programs in North Bend, Snoqualmie, Fall City, Carnation and Duvall.

In addition, the site offers a registry for area nonprofits, listing name, location and contact information.

Organizations that rely on volunteers are welcome to use the match site for recruitment.

The site was devel-oped after participants at the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network’s annual Key Leaders Summit expressed a desire to have bet-ter communication tools.

Local cities and organiza-tions are welcome to add a link to the site to their websites to help promote Valleywide use of the new tool.

One man died as the result of a shooting Aug. 25 in North Bend.

Officers from the Snoqualmie Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the 45000 block of North Bend Way shortly after 10:30 p.m.

Officers found two adult men in their 40s in their apart-ment. One of the men was deceased when officers arrived.

The identity of the victim has not been released.

The Major Crimes Task Force responded to the scene and a suspect was later booked into the King County Jail on manslaughter charges.

City’s partnership streamlines business licensing, renewal

The city of North Bend has partnered with the Washington State Business Licensing Service to offer a streamlined licensing and renewal process.

The service is part of the Washington State Department of Revenue. The partnership allows North Bend businesses to register or renew licenses online at www.business.wa.gov/BLS.

The service permits a business to become licensed with cities at the same time it registers with state agencies, creat-ing a “one-stop shop” for most, if not all, registra-tions a business needs to operate.

Businesses already licensed with the city will be integrated into the BLS database and receive an updated state business license that lists the city of North Bend.

Learn more by con-tacting the North Bend business license and tax coordinator, Juanita Smart, at 888-7636 or [email protected].

Free dog and cat vaccinations offered

Free dog and cat vac-cinations for low-income families will be from 1-4 p.m. Sept. 6 at the Mt. Si Senior Center, 411 Main Ave. S., North Bend.

The vaccination clinic is sponsored by Valley Animal Partners.

Microchip services will also be available that day for $5.

Learn more by calling Valley Animal Partners at 466-4621 or go to www.valleyanimalpartners.com.

State eyes purchase of forest conservation easements

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources is seeking land-owners who wish to apply for permanent conserva-tion easements through its Rivers and Habitat Open Space Program.

Since 2002, the state of Washington has invested $3.9 million to purchase easements through the program.

This year marks the first time funding has been provided by the state Legislature since the pro-gram was revised in 2013 to include habitat for spe-cies protected by the state as threatened or endan-gered. The program also allows the department to purchase easements from willing sellers whose prop-erty includes areas where a river’s active channel meanders — known as channel migration zones. These islands of timber have high ecological value to species like salmon and steelhead.

Interested landown-ers must apply by 5 p.m. Sept. 30. The program also accepts donations of con-servation easements.

Learn more about the program by calling 360-902-1427 or email [email protected].

Summer is winding down; students and par-ents are cleaning out back-packs from last year; back-to-school sales are in full swing; and the excitement for students is starting to build as we look forward to the start of another school year.

More than 6,000 chil-dren and teenagers will return to Valley schools Sept. 3, bringing enthu-siasm, energy, and life to our buildings and class-rooms. As educators, we will once again have the privilege of working with these students to bring out their talents, potentials and genius.

For families, the pace of activity these days is unprecedented. Parents are super-busy with work, and students are highly involved in a multitude of activities. Managing this pace is key for parents if they are to properly attend to and support their child’s education. Here a few suggestions to set the stage for success this year:

Celebrate the first dayThe start of a new

school year should be a special time. However, some students may be anxious. Make a unique breakfast to celebrate the first day and take a photo to commemorate the occa-sion. Slipping a note into your child’s lunch box or backpack is always a nice surprise.

Establish a weekly planning meeting

Sunday evenings are a good time to take a few minutes and plan for the week ahead. Sit down with your kids and enter every commitment and event into a family calendar for the upcoming week. This will keep families on track, enable parents to know where their kids are and avoid last-minute confu-sion.

Make homework a priorityEstablish a time and

place for homework. Inquire about and discuss your child’s homework every night. Ask what he or she is working on and what lies ahead. Consistency here helps keep students on track and sends a strong message that school is of prime importance in your family.

Consistency also ensures that there is discus-sion and engagement between parent and stu-dent about school on a regular basis. Talk every day about the progress he or she is mak-ing in each class. When your child knows that you think school is important, he or she will take it more seriously.

Set up a mail stationEstablish a place where

all documents, correspon-dence and papers related to school are kept. This can be a file, bin or desk drawer. Each week, reor-ganize and clear paper as needed so that the mail station remains orderly and well-organized.

Be an encouragerEncourage your children

to do their best and cel-ebrate their successes and accomplishments. Support them when confronted with difficulties or challeng-es, but urge them to persist. Doing well in school is important, but so is having fun. Encourage your chil-dren to enjoy school.

Support the teacherTeachers are your

friends and having a good relationship with them will help form a team to ensure success during the coming year. Communicate early with your child’s teacher. Your goal, and that of the teacher, is the same — to ensure your child has a

successful, productive and enjoyable school experi-ence.

Volunteer at schoolSpending time in school

provides support and assis-tance to teachers, which is very much appreciated. Your presence also proj-ects a strong message to your child that you are interested in his or her school and you value the importance of education. Volunteerism comes in many shapes and forms. Finding ways to give even a little time is appreci-ated and projects a posi-tive image for your son or daughter.

Monitor and manage activitiesKids are very busy these

days with involvement in a multitude of activi-ties that often consume extraordinary amounts of time. Keeping kids busy and involved is a good thing, as long as they are enjoying these activities. Be observant to ensure your child does not get overextended or stressed.

Parents who take time to plan and organize themselves and their chil-dren for the transition back to school create an environment for success. We look forward to work-ing with you during the coming year to make this year the best one ever for your son or daughter!

ing of time. It was a pleasure for Mrs. Doc to go around the floor with him.

She smiled and winked at her hus-band as she and Pop danced by. Doc grinned and swirled a fancy di-do with Ardis, just to show off. Then she and Pop got closer to the bandstand and there was Dud Campbell playing his accordion. He looked happy and surrealistic in the muted red-dish lights on the stage. Next to him sat Carla Martinez, playing rhythm guitar and smiling out on her town and her life. Jim Albertson was up there, too, playing the waltz’s melody on the harmonica, and trading the lead with Jasper Blankenship on

his fiddle. As she and Pop Walker danced

away, the bandstand receded in a blur of light and sound. Passing like ships in the night were Dewey Decker with Mavis from the Mule Barn truck stop. Mavis’s hair is growing back in since the treatments, giving everyone in the valley just one more reason to be thankful. Randy Jones and Katie Burchell sailed by on wings of love.

The waltz ended and Pop walked Mrs. Doc to her seat.

“Thanks for the dance, er … honey,” he said.

“Thank you, Pop.”The people who dance

through our lives give us the reason to get up and get dressed each day.

Folks keep in step to the sounds of love, life

Labor Day traditionally marks the end of summer. How will you celebrate?

A. We’re headed out of town for a mini-vacation.B. Company is coming! Party time!C. We will be shopping for school clothes and school sup-plies.D. We will be catching up

Parents throughout the Snoqualmie Valley School District will walk their children to school, to the school bus or drop them off for the first day of classes next week.

Ahh, finally, a bit of free time for a second cup of coffee! Or maybe not if you’re dashing to the office — but a new school year does encourage us to be more organized.

As you figure out who is driving the car pool and how to squeeze in some time for exercise, save time in your sched-ule for our schools.

Yes, the Snoqualmie Valley School District needs you! The volunteer jobs at school are endless. The playground needs monitors, the library can use assistance, the front office might need your organizational skills, teachers almost never have enough helpers and the nurse’s office is often in need of a mother’s touch to watch over a sick child.

But the best of the volunteer jobs may be working direct-ly with students. Parents, grandparents and other citizens are always welcome to just listen to children read.

Got time and energy for a bigger role? Ask about becom-ing a mentor to one student, helping guide them in their social development and their studies — or sometimes just to be there to listen.

If you prefer something more athletic, check into becom-ing a volunteer to help a coach. The middle schools and high schools have an array of sports teams that need both organizational and skills assistance in support of its coach-es.

Volunteers at schools are not expected to take a leader-ship role. Volunteers do not get involved in discipline or instruction. Their role is one of helper.

Need some adult time? Getting involved in school doesn’t necessarily mean more time with children.

The PTSA at each school is looking for parents to volun-teer in everything from teacher recognition to fundraising. Start by joining your PTSA, and then get involved.

And here’s something to consider — you can join the PTSA at your neighborhood school even if you don’t have children there. It can use your help.

The school district does require a background check on every volunteer, whether or not you’re a parent. All vol-unteers must apply and be approved before they get clear-ance to begin service. In addition to the typical background information, volunteers must undergo a Washington State Patrol criminal history check once every two years.

To get started, stop in at a school office to learn more about volunteer opportunities and get an application. Forms can also be found at the district’s website.

Volunteering is good for the schools and saves tax money, too. We can guarantee you’ll have a great time. And the payoff? All the smiles you’ll get from staff, teachers and students.

Enjoy the school year.

Mrs. Doc watched the dancers swirl around the cleared hard-wood floor of the Legion hall, and smiled to see her husband, Doc, waltzing with Ardis Fisher. But Mrs. Doc was never one to sit out a waltz, so she looked around at the menu.

Over in the corner, smiling and tapping his foot, was Pop Walker. Pop and several other residents of the Rest of Your Life retirement home were there to enjoy the dance and celebrate summer. Pop has a hard time with his memory these days but always forgets things with a smile.

“Pop,” said Mrs. Doc, “how about a dance?”

“Why sure … uh?”“Mrs. Doc.”“Right. Mrs. Doc.”Pop had learned to waltz back

when more people did it, and the decades had smoothed his dance steps with the fine sand-

Never too old to play!

By Sam Kenyon

Wildcat fans prepare to cheer. This football season will be bigger and better than ever, Mount Si High School Coach Charlie Kinnune said.

Mount Si moved up to the larger KingCo 4A League and will face pow-erhouse teams such as Skyline and Bothell. The Wildcats will play the most elite teams in the area.

“Great competition,” Kinnune said. “We’re going to see the best coaching in the state, week in and week out, the best competition in the state, week in and week out.”

For the past 22 years, head coach Kinnune and his assistants could look at their schedule and count certain games as near-automatic victories. In KingCo 4A, no wins are guaranteed.

“These are big schools,” he said. “They have great facilities. We’ve got our hands full.”

In addition to a new conference, Mount Si also has a number of new play-ers. Numerous Wildcat players graduated last sea-son, including star quar-terback Nick Mitchell.

“We’re kind of start-ing over in many cases,” Kinnune said. “We don’t have a lot of returning starters. We’re going to have a lot of players that will be getting significant action on Friday nights when they haven’t before.”

During the preseason, the team has a chance to figure out who they

are, find its strengths and weaknesses and develop strategy. Kinnune is con-fident the team will find itself competing for a playoff spot, even in the harder league. The Wildcat program will be able to accommodate whatever kind of personality this team develops.

“We have enough flex-ibility in our playbook,” Kinnune said. “We’re excit-ed about the opportunities our new schedule and our new league give us.”

The loss of graduating seniors doesn’t leave the team without veterans. The Wildcats are counting on several returning players to become the core of both the offense and defense.

Senior JoJo Hillel will lead the team at quarter-back. Hillel played backup to Mitchell last season. He gained some crucial game time experience.

“I expect an outstand-ing year from him,” Kinnune said. “JoJo prob-ably could have started for most of the teams in our league last year.”

Kinnune said Hillel is eager to begin the season as a starter.

“I think he performs very well under pressure,” he said. “He’s got a nice leadership style. He’s com-petitive, he’s explosive. He’s got a lot going for him.”

One of the many things Hillel has in his favor is a strong wide-receiver corps including 6-foot, 6-inch junior Parker Dumas and senior Sean Hyland. They also have junior Caleb Mitchell (Nick Mitchell’s

younger brother), junior Reid Lutz and junior Colton Swain as wide-receiver options.

The team has some seri-ous meat on the offensive line like 6-5, 290-pound senior offensive tackle Chris Schlichting, who already has offers from three colleges. Kinnune called their center, senior Andrew Thompson, the team’s best leader. Senior Cameron Davis at the guard position placed in the state tournament in shot put in the off-season. The other starting guard is junior Ryan McVay.

Rounding out the offense will be two junior running backs, Mark Farmer and Cory Cotto. Cotto is the third of three brothers to play for the Wildcats. Farmer is the team’s lone returning starter on defense at the corner back position.

Kinnune said he would know quickly how his newest version of the Wildcats stacks up against the 4A schools. Mount Si faces several early tough tests in their schedule, including their season opener against Woodinville at home Sept. 5.

“I would think that very first game is going to tell us a lot as far as where we stack up with the KingCo 4A competition,” Kinnune said.

If the Wildcats are able to beat their first two opponents, which Kinnune thinks is likely, and Skyline beats its first two oppo-nents, also likely, then the Wildcats and the Spartans

will face each other unde-feated in a huge game at Mount Si stadium.

“I see that as a big mea-suring stick, maybe how we measure up against the elite teams in the league,” Kinnune said.

After Skyline, the Wildcats won’t get any rest because the following week they face the team that Kinnune thinks will be ranked No. 1 in the league, the Bothell Cougars.

“All of them are big games,” Kinnune said.

In the past two seasons, not including the playoffs, the Wildcats have played 24 games: 22 have been blowouts and 19 were in the Wildcats favor. Kinnune said that kind of sustained success has lulled the student body. But now that Mount Si isn’t a big fish in a small pond any-more, it’s time to wake up.

“Really, our student body has gotten a little bored,” he said. “Well, they’re not going to be bored this year.”

Wildcats face new challenges in 4A

By Sam Kenyon

The Mount Si High School Wildcats will kick off the football season and school year with a free carnival at 5 p.m. Aug. 29 in the high school parking lot.

The carnival celebrates all sports and clubs offered by the school.

“It’s not just about the football kickoff, it’s the kickoff to starting the school year,” said Laurie Farmer, a booster and mother of junior running back Mark Farmer.

The carnival is a family oriented event, geared to younger siblings as well as high school students.

There will be a jump house, food, hayrides, a cake walk, ponies, a photo booth, fire trucks, crafts and more. The Mount Si Drumline, cheerleaders and other sports teams will participate.

“We have a great cheer staff, we have a great band,” head football coach Charlie Kinnune said. “You go on a Friday night to Mount Si stadium and it’s pretty special.”

The school hopes the carnival will attract any-one in the community who wants to celebrate the school, such as football fans, parents, students and the junior football players who will one day play for the

Wildcats.Farmer said one rea-

son for the carnival is that the team wants to give back to a commu-nity that has supported them so much through-out the years.

“I think the Mount Si football program is a really unique experi-ence,” she said. “The sta-dium is always packed. Even when their kids graduate, people still come to the games. It’s a social thing, you see your friends on Friday night.”

Mount Si is the only high school in the district and the small-town atmosphere of Snoqualmie and North Bend has made the foot-ball team a hub of the community for years.

“It’s everything,” Kinnune said. “We feel a real sense of responsi-bility to put on a good show. “We take it seri-ously. Representing our community is very important to us. It’s something we do not take lightly.”

The annual Scarlet and Gray Football Game, a practice match that features all levels of high school players, follows the carnival and starts at 7 p.m.

Scott Dunlap knew his second shot in the play-off round of the Boeing Classic was good, but it was the crowd watching at the golf course at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge on Aug. 24 that told him just how good.

“The cheers were letting me know,” Dunlap said. “I could’ve guessed within a foot of how far my ball was just based on how the crowd was reacting. They let me know.”

But Dunlap didn’t lose focus. He didn’t assume that the roughly 260-yard shot with his Howitzer 3-wood that left him only feet from the hole would seal his victory. He has seen enough tournament leads evaporate on the final green.

“I never feel like I got it until I get it done,” he said. “You’ve got to stay level right to the end.”

Dunlap stayed level and

after missing the follow-ing 6-foot putt, he put the ball in the hole to birdie the playoff round against Mark Brooks and win the 10th annual Champions Tour tournament. Dunlap is a rookie on the Champions Tour and this was his first tournament win.

Dunlap led the tourna-ment at 12 strokes under par after the second day. Doug Garwood was 1 stroke behind him and Brooks was tied for third at 9 under par along with Tommy Armour III.

On the final day, Dunlap had a bit of a struggle early on the front nine, but picked up another stroke after on the eighth hole.

“When I eagle 8, to get to 13, [under par] I’m lead-ing the tournament,” he said. “Then, I play three more under in from there, you’d think that should be good enough.

“But it wasn’t quite. I

needed the one more bird-ie,” he added. “And that’s why this group of guys is tough to beat, because at any one week someone’s going to do the chasing, and they will chase you down.”

In this case, it was Brooks doing the chasing.

He shot six birdies in the final seven holes of

regulation to catch up to Dunlap. On the 18th green, Brooks dropped a nice putt to pick up a stroke and put pressure on Dunlap by matching his score of 16 under par. Dunlap was two groups behind Brooks.

“I knew I was within a shot or two after I birdied 16,” Brooks said of his

chase-down of Dunlap.Dunlap approached

the final green in regula-tion play in the last group

and the crowd gathered to watch his final hole.

He had an opportunity to birdie on a 12-foot putt for the win, but his shot shaded just left and rolled 3 feet past the hole. He dropped in the last put to tie with Brooks, forcing the playoff at hole 18.

Going into the playoff round, Dunlap said he felt relaxed. He had played well and would win, at worst, second place. So for him, the pressure was off.

“I was nice and free,” he said.

Brooks also played well to force a playoff, but Dunlap’s excellent second shot to reach the green was a definitive stroke that Brooks couldn’t over-come.

“I hit a bad drive and then I was kind of in between [clubs] on that third shot and obviously picked the wrong one,” Brooks said.

Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson watched the dra-matic end of the tourna-ment.

“I love finishes like that,” he said.

The Boeing Classic, started 10 years ago, has grown in size and popu-

larity. This year, the golf tournament drew a record 94,000 fans, up 10 percent over 2013.

The tournament fea-tured 81 players, includ-ing Seattle native Fred Couples, who finished tied for 15th.

TPC Snoqualmie Ridge is a par-72 course. The overall purse was $2 million. For first place, Dunlap won $300,000.

“I think when this first started out we were going to be very relieved and happy if it lasted four or five years, but the fact that it’s gone 10 years, and there’s commitments to go well beyond, is just fantas-tic,” Larson said.

Players of the

Champions Tour, the PGA Tour for golfers older than 50, have often said that the Boeing Classic quickly became one of

their favorite tournaments. The beautiful course and the enthusiastic reception by the community, sev-eral said, are part of what makes the Boeing Classic

so appealing.“It’s a standout of the

Champions Tour,” Larson said. “I’m just very proud and honored to host such a prestigious event for

Snoqualmie.”

The same determination Ron Musgrave learned as a U.S. Marine that led to a Bronze Star for his actions in Vietnam are evident in the business he has nurtured for more than 45 years.

Musgrave was barely old enough to buy a drink in the States when his outfit was sent to Hill 689 in June 1967. The young Marine had been trained to fire a 3.5-inch bazooka as part of a weapons platoon.

The bazooka he carried was an updated version of the 2.5 bazooka used against German Panzers tanks during World War II. Musgrave was often ordered to use the anti-tank rocket launcher to flush enemy snipers out of the spider holes they had dug into the ground of the moist tropical jungle.

Spider holes, Musgrave said, were trap doors above holes just big enough for an enemy soldier to hide. The doors opened just enough to allow a sniper to fire an automatic weapon before the door slammed shut.

“The North Vietnamese soldiers were smart fight-ers. They did not kill the first few soldiers assigned to lead search-and-destroy missions. They only shot them in the leg,” Musgrave recalled. “They knew that additional soldiers would be sent up to rescue the wounded soldiers. That’s when they would open up on the whole platoon.”

The tactic proved suc-cessful for the enemy in the steamy jungles of Vietnam. Musgrave said 30 of the 40 Americans on his patrol one day did

not return, including the young lieutenant who had been in command.

A bazooka and wet pantsLying on the ground

with gunfire all around him, Musgrave said he could feel one of the enemy bullets as it glanced past his face and along the side of his body. Almost immedi-ately he felt the leg of his pants become wet and he screamed out for a medic.

“I’ve been hit,” he called out.

After Musgrave was pulled to safety, he real-ized the bullet only grazed his side, penetrating his canteen.

“It was only water,” he said, “so they sent me back to the front of my squad with my bazooka and wet pants.”

When he returned to his position, Musgrave found the soldier lying next to him had been shot in the head and killed.

“That would have been me if I had not been pulled away to the medic

station,” he said.Before he had time to

settle back into his bunker, Musgrave was ordered to move up so he could deter-mine the distance and tra-jectory he would need to knock out the spider hole. His first shot sailed over the enemy position and landed in a gulley beyond the target. His second shot took out the sniper.

Musgrave was firing phosphorescent shells. The enemy soldier came out of his hole engulfed in flames.

“He jumped out of that hole on fire like he had springs on his feet,” Musgrave remembered. “His arms were waving as he ran through the dense vegetation. He looked like a human torch.”

Musgrave’s tour of duty ended few months after the incident on Hill 689. He was reassigned to Beaufort, S.C., where he was awarded a Bronze Star with full mili-tary honors in front of the entire camp. The Akron, Ohio, native was origi-nally nominated for a Silver Star, but Musgrave said the honor was changed to Bronze because he had not actually been injured dur-ing the battle.

“That was OK with me,” he said with a smile.

From fighting to cleaningAfter being discharged

in 1968, Musgrave returned to Seattle, where he had lived with his father for several years before being drafted. (He began his enlistment with the Marines in January 1965 and was shipped out five months after completing his basic training at Camp Pendleton in California.)

The returning veteran had cleaned carpets for DA Burns in Seattle before being called to serve his country, so he made the decision to launch his own carpet-cleaning busi-ness from the backseat of his ’66 Mustang. His first customers were homeown-ers in the Normandy Park area near Burien.

In 1972, Musgrave said he purchased the first high-powered truck-mounted

steam cleaning system in the Northwest. Four decades later, Revive Carpet & Upholstery Cleaners runs multiple trucks with crews that clean carpets, upholstery and air ducts for residential and commercial clients in King County.

Musgrave laughs when he tries to count his numerous ties to the com-munity. The Revive office is in unincorporated King County, has a Fall City telephone number and an Issaquah mailing address. He belongs to a network-ing organization that meets in Sammamish.

Many Revive employees have been with Musgrave for several years. His lon-gest tenured employee is his stepson, who has been cleaning carpets alongside the founder of the com-

pany for 22 years.Over the years, the fam-

ily business moved to his first home, in Bellevue, and eventually to acre-age south of Interstate 90 near Preston. The garage attached to Musgrave’s office is filled with acces-sories for his carpet-clean-ing business. The walls of his workspace are covered with memorabilia of his time in the military.

“The Marines and my mother both taught me to do what needed to be done and to do it well the first time,” Musgrave said, add-ing that he is proud of the fact that more than 85 per-cent of his business comes from repeat customers.

Police responded at 4:51 a.m. Aug. 17 to the 7700 block of Fairway Avenue Southeast to reports of a possible prowler. A white male wearing a dark hood was seen walking around and trying car doors. A sec-ond subject joined the first before they were taken into custody by officers.

Eventually, they parted ways and no charges were filed.

Accidental emergency call

Police responded at 9:41 p.m. Aug. 17 to 470 E. North Bend Way to a 911 call. The operator heard sounds of the caller pos-sibly wrestling around and the sound of one female voice.

Who goes there?Police responded at 10:45

p.m. Aug. 20 to the 39000 block of Southeast Spruce Street to reports of a possi-ble burglary. The caller said he heard a loud crash on his back porch. He investigated but found nothing. He said his neighbor had the same issue and a garbage can and chair were knocked over. The neighbor called as well and reported she heard someone jiggling her back doorknob. Officers inves-tigating believe the visitor was a bear.

winning artist Bruce Johnston, musical direc-tor Scott Totten, guitarist Jeffrey Foskett, keyboard-ist Tim Bonhomme, bass player Randell Kirsch and drummer John Cowsill.

Love said they all enjoy seeing the cross-section of generations and cultures that throng to The Beach Boys’ concerts.

“Children like our music,” he said. “We see a lot of young people in the audience singing along with songs that were cre-ated long before they were born.

“It’s nice because The Beach Boys’ music appeals to multiple generations.”

The Beach Boys have often performed in the Pacific Northwest, Love said. He enjoys com-ing back to Snoqualmie Casino because of the views from Mountain View Plaza and the enthu-siastic audiences.

“We seem to get that way often,” he said. “I remember our first concert in the Seattle area. It was at The Spanish Castle, a place that no longer exists. I think that was just after the sabertooth tigers left the area.”

He’s been blessed, he added, to be able to turn what was once a hobby into a profession.

And what was to be his profession?

Love has used his train-ing in the wood and paint shops of that now-defunct family business as his hobby. He enjoys remodel-ing and do-it-yourself proj-ects around home.
