Teddy bears and other stuffed toys deco-rate and surround the cross that stands beside North Bend Way, west of downtown North Bend.
Like many spots where people died in accidents on roads and freeways, the marker is a visible expression of love for the deceased.
But unlike most roadside memorials, the wooden cross and gifts are maintained by strangers. This is the spot where the body of a newborn was found by someone who stopped at the pull-off near Kimball Creek Bridge on Feb. 14.
Deputies named the full-term baby Kimball Doe, after small creek that runs nearby.
Local police and firefighters and con-cerned community members held a funeral service for Baby Kimball on March 15. She was buried in a cemetery in SeaTac.
People who decorate the memorial with toys and flowers aren’t the only ones remembering Baby Kimball.
More than seven months later, the King County Sheriff’s Office still has few clues about who left the baby girl in the woods beside the road.
“I keep hoping the clues will click with someone,” said Sgt. DB Gates, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office.
Someone, Gates said, must know a woman who was pregnant last winter but doesn’t have a child now.
Detectives note there was also obvious preparation for a baby.
The infant, with its umbilical cord still attached, was found with a Chick Pea brand burp cloth. That’s a medium- to high-end baby item, Gates said, and a sign that some-one had baby supplies.
In addition, the baby was found with a full-sized towel. It was a faded black bath towel with multiple color square patterns on one side and rectangles on the other side and came from Target, one of the store’s

Clues still sought in Baby Kimball case
The Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Board of Commissioners is seeking comments and dis-cussion from the public about a potential affiliation with Overlake Medical Center.
The commissioners are invit-ing concerned citizens to join them at an extended board meeting beginning at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 2 in Snoqualmie City Hall, 38624 S.E. River St.
The meeting will begin with a presentation of the key elements of the proposed affiliation with Overlake and an update on the new hospital building.
A public forum and discus-sion begins at 6:30 p.m.
After the discussion, the commissioners will convene for their normal business meet-ing, which is also open to the public.
The second annual Auction and Wine Tasting to benefit the Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter will be held from 5-9 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Si View Community Center, 400 S.E. Orchard Drive, North Bend.
The party will include wine, buffet dinner and entrance into the silent and live auction. Tickets are $40 per person or $70 per couple.
The Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter provides a warm, safe overnight space for up to 40 homeless women, families and men from November through March. The shelter services include a hot dinner and access to needed resources to help peo-ple transition back into stable, permanent housing.

The Snoqualmie Police Department wants your unused drugs.
The department, which serves North Bend and Snoqualmie, will participate in the Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 27.
Officers will accept drugs at two locations:
q Snoqualmie Fire Station, 37600 S.E. Snoqualmie Parkway
q North Bend Park & Ride, the 300 to 400 block of East North Bend Way.
Both unused prescription and over-the-counter drugs will be accepted.
Joan Pliego, spokeswoman for the Snoqualmie Police Department, noted that the service is free and anonymous — you don’t have to give per-sonal information when you drop off drugs.
Studies show that the majority of teens who abuse prescription drugs obtain them from family and friends for free, usually from home medicine cabinets.
Unwanted and expired medicine should not be flushed down the toilet or thrown in the garbage — both actions can cause envi-ronmental hazards.
Additional informa-tion about the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day is available at www.dea.gov.

A great homemade pound cake works like a great black dress for women or a high-quality dark suit for men. It’s your go-to outfit.
Dress it up with an out-standing necklace, a pair of high heels or for a man
with that expensive tie, and you can go anywhere from the opera to a black-tie affair.
I consider the Major’s Wife’s Pound Cake the black dress of my dessert recipes.
Serve it plain and it is delicious. Dress it up with a scoop of ice cream, fresh
fruit, whipped cream or other fancy topping. Use it to end a formal dinner on a sweet note — paired with some port or liqueur.
It travels well if you’re taking it to someone else’s house or mailing it to a college dorm. The Major’s Wife’s Pound Cake keeps practically forever (if it lasts that long — it doesn’t around my house) and best of all, is simple.
This recipe came from a major’s wife when my husband was a young offi-cer in the U.S. Army.
The hardest part of the whole recipe is greasing and flouring the Bundt cake pans. Don’t have a Bundt cake pan? Use a 9-by-13 pan, an angel food cake pan or a couple of round cake pans. You will still need to grease and flour whatever you use to get the cake out whole.
When I first tasted it, the major’s wife served it as a marble cake. She reserved one-third of the mix, stirred in a quarter-cup of cocoa and then gently swirled the choco-late batter in with the
vanilla batter to give it a marbleized effect.
I’ve developed a choco-late version as well as the yummy basic vanilla cake.
My husband likes both versions and when I baked the two cakes for the pho-tograph accompanying this article, he kept telling me to hurry because he wanted some cake NOW. If I want them to look like I’ve gone to a lot of trouble, I sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar on top of the cake. We cut it into thin slices, because all that butter and sugar makes a rich cake.
My husband is eating a piece of both kinds as I write this and just com-mented that they’re both delicious.
I hope you like the Major’s Wife’s cake as much as my family does.
Enjoy!

Snoqualmie and North Bend residential property owners received a post-card greeting this month from King County Assessor Lloyd Hara’s office: the 2014 property valuations.
Although some property values might vary, gener-ally residential property in the upper Snoqualmie Valley general increased 24.2 percent.
Residential property is assessed each year at 100 percent of its true and fair market value. State law defines that as the amount of money a willing and unobligated buyer would pay a seller. Residential values are determined based on multiple sales of similar properties.
The King County Assessor’s Office annually revalues all properties and conducts a physical inspec-
tion on each property once every six years. The last physical inspection of the Snoqualmie/North Bend area was conducted in 2009.
“Continuing the 2013 trend, property values are increasing across King County as we emerge from the recession,” Hara said in a news release. “In 2013, we saw a residential increase in 76 out of 86 residential areas, and we expect to see continued growth in resi-dential values in 2014 for almost all residential areas in King County, except for a small number of parcels in the Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass area.”
Hara reminded property owners to review the infor-mation contained in the valuation notice.
If you feel a mistake has been made in valuing your property, contact the
Assessor’s Office directly before filing an appeal at 206-296-7300 or assessor.info@kingcountygov.
Property owners can review their property infor-mation online using eReal Property and review Area Reports on the Assessor’s homepage at www.kingcoun-ty.gov/assessor or with the Assessor’s staff to make sure an error has not been made.
King County allows 60 days from the valua-tion’s postmark date to file an appeal with the King County Board of Equalizations.
For King County tax-payers who need advice and assistance on property tax-related matters, includ-ing appeals, contact the King County Tax Advisor at 206-477-1060 or by email at [email protected].

bosses, our customers, our animals, our fields. But right now no one needs us except the dog, and she does well on kibbles and an ear rum-ple.
We can look out the window at the eastern glow and wonder what will happen in the hours until our world turns dark again. People will be born and people will die. People will win honors and people will go to jail. People will create things today that live past them and people will disappear forever. Some people will write about these things
and other people will read about these things.
And then the world will go dark on us again and we’ll think about what happened in our tiny portion of this huge mov-ing amalgam and hopefully we’ll sleep easily tonight. Then, when we arise tomorrow and head for the coffee pot, we can think about what happened today, and how it has made us slightly different for taking on the next tomorrow.
Come to us, Daylight. Bring us the new day. But do it gently, please, and slowly enough for one more cup.

Checked your medicine cabinet lately?It might be part of the national drug problem.Your old prescription pills and even unused over-the-
counter items, such as cold medicine, could be temptation calling.
According to federal Drug Enforcement Administration research, the majority of American people who abused prescription drugs obtained them from the home medi-cine cabinets of family members and friends.
The good news is that nationally the number of drug abusers decreased from 6.8 million people in 2012 to 6.5 million in 2013.
The bad news is about 18,000 people annually end up in our state’s hospital emergency rooms due to prescrip-tion drug overdoses.
You can help by removing the temptation of drugs from your home.
Participate in the National Drug Take Back Day Sept. 27. The Snoqualmie Police Department will accept your unwanted drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Snoqualmie Fire Station and the North Bend Park & Ride.
This will be the DEA’s ninth and final Take Back Day. The twice-a-year events began four years ago because the National Controlled Substances Act didn’t allow patients to get rid of unwanted controlled prescription drugs.
No, do not flush them down the toilet or dump them into the garbage. That’s bad for our environment.
New disposal rules, according to the DEA website, will go into effect next month and provide for convenient, ongoing disposal opportunities for unwanted pharmaceu-ticals.
The Take Back Days have been highly successful.Since the first event in September 2010, more than 4.1
million pounds of drugs have been collected in the United States, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
At this time, the DEA has no plans to sponsor more Take Back Days. To find out who is authorized to col-lect unwanted drugs in the future, call the DEA Office Of Diversion Control at 1-800-882-9539 toll free.
It is a shame the sponsorship of these events is ending. Because having Take Back Days highlights the potential problems of keeping old medicines in the house.
Perhaps as a community we need to figure out a way to continue this great community-service event. The National Take Back Initiative has been a three-way win for our children, our families and our environment.
Plus, you get a clean medicine cabinet out of the deal.

There’s something so satisfy-ing about getting out of bed when the world is still dark and quiet and resting. Making the coffee gives us time to scratch and think. Well, scratch, any-way. Most of that thinking will start after about the third cup of coffee.
But it’s a quiet time. A private time. When the world is dark, and there isn’t yet a hint of pink over the eastern mountains, it’s very good. We can relax. No one is expecting anything from us right now. Our guilt can take some time off, and we can listen to music or work a crossword puzzle or turn on the TV and watch the weather guy discuss millibars and troughs.
Soon enough, we’ll have to be out there living for others: our

Extensive forensic test-ing was done on the items left with the baby by the Washington State Crime Lab.
In July, the King County Sheriff’s Office announced it had two more ways to identify Baby Kimball Doe and her parents — family DNA profiles.
The crime lab was able to get male DNA from the towel that baby was wrapped in and female DNA from one of the plas-tic garbage bags.
Both sets of DNA show, Gates said, “a bio-logical connection and some relatedness to Baby Kimball.”
Scientists are not say-ing conclusively that the DNA comes from the mother and/or the father, just that both sets of DNA are related to the baby’s.
Neither DNA sample matched those in the state’s database.
“That little baby was dumped along with the garbage,” Gates said. “She deserved better than what happened to her.”
Anyone with informa-tion is asked to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS toll free.

Never Stop Smiling
By Neil Pierson
The Eastlake High School boys golf team isn’t used to losing, dropping only two conference dual matches in the past four seasons, which makes the start to the 2014 season a bit surprising.
The Wolves lost two of their first three Class 4A KingCo Conference out-ings — to Redmond and Issaquah — but rebounded to even their record with a 208-210 victory over the Inglemoor Vikings Sept. 18 at the Sahalee Country Club’s par-36 south course.
In some ways, Eastlake has had to start from scratch this fall. Four-time state qualifier Spencer
Weiss graduated, and the Wolves now feature four freshmen among their top-10 players.
However, it’s clear the ninth-grade class has plen-ty of talent and potential. Against Inglemoor, fresh-man Tommy McCoy had Eastlake’s low score at 40 strokes, and fellow frosh Robert Russo matched junior Gabe Lysen at 41.
That was enough to overcome Inglemoor’s two big guns: Mason Phalen shot 38 to win medal-ist honors, and Carter Tillotson shot 39 for second place.
On a wet day with slow greens and slightly sloppy course conditions, McCoy’s play on the par-3 holes
may have been the differ-ence between winning and losing for his team.
McCoy had a double-bogey six on the fourth hole, but rebounded on the
par-3 fifth by hitting the green and sinking a 15-foot birdie putt.
He repeated the feat later in the round following a bogey on No. 8, nailing his tee shot on No. 9 within five feet and draining another birdie.
“My iron game was on today, minus one shot, and just short putts that I missed really got me fired up,” McCoy said.
Lysen — McCoy’s play-ing partner — said the course conditions were difficult to ignore and over-come. Lysen had back-to-back double bogeys early in the round, but shot par on the final six holes to help the Wolves salvage the win.
It wasn’t Lysen’s best
round — he has shot in the 30s three times this season — but it was OK for one day, he indicated.
“Putts were just bounc-ing all over the place,” he noted. “I felt more nervous now because it’s hard to play with the sand on the course.”
Colby Stirrat (6-over-par 42) and Daanyal Nasar (8-over 44) were Eastlake’s other scorers. Scott Nielson, a co-captain and returning state qualifier, didn’t play.

It has been three years since the Skyline High School boys cross country program sent a team to the state championships, and senior Blake Hallauer is hoping to do something about it.
“I think it would mean a lot,” Hallauer said of reach-ing state. “That’s always been our goal, and we felt like we were robbed last year just because of a few bad runs at the district meet.”
No one on this year’s
Skyline squad was part of the 2011 lineup that fin-ished 12th at the Class 4A meet in Pasco — the seniors
were freshmen then — but Hallauer is the most expe-rienced returning runner for a group that is hungry
to achieve something big.
Skyline’s boys had a couple of strong outings earlier in September during 2-mile races in Tacoma and Issaquah,
and they dominated in a Sept. 17 KingCo Conference meet at Klahanie Park. The Spartans scored 22 points to
easily outmatch Bothell (35) and Woodinville (48).
Hallauer won the 3-mile event in 16 minutes, 45 sec-onds, and said the numer-ous hills along the course proved to be difficult. His personal best at the stan-dard 3.1-mile distance is 17:01.9, and he’s looking to trim more than a minute off that by season’s end.
“I was pretty happy with it — didn’t have the compe-tition I was hoping for, but the Woodinville guys defi-nitely gave me a little run for my money,” Hallauer said. “I haven’t really ran
this course competitively in probably two years, so that was good.”
Spartans coach Brendan Hyland said competing at Klahanie Park serves a specific purpose. Skyline will run there again Oct. 8 against Inglemoor and Mount Si.
“We kind of take pride on being one of the harder courses … and our guys really look forward to each time we run it, because when we go on a flat course, we know it’s not

A child’s first visit to the dentist should be enjoyable. Children are not born with a natural fear of the dentist, but they can fear the unknown. Dr. Shadi Araghi of Highlands Dentistry makes a special effort to use simple, non-frightening words to describe each treatment so children feel at ease.
Dr. Shadi , “rhymes with Froggy”, along with her husband, Dr. Ray Besharati, formed Highlands Dentistry in 2009 to provide the highest quality dental care for all ages. Due to the growing number of patients, the practice recently expanded across the street to form Dr.
Shadi’s pediatric specialty, Highlands Kids Dentistry, which includes orthodontics.
The expansion creates flex-ibility and convenience in scheduling parents and chil-dren with one phone call.
The environment is fun and engaging for children, provid-ing a life-long positive impres-sion.
Children should visit the dentist by their first birthday. It’s important that newly-
erupted teeth receive proper dental care and that healthy oral hygiene habits are instilled right from the beginning.
Dr. Shadi’s philosophy is that childhood dental experiences establish a lifetime pattern of feelings towards dentistry, and she makes every effort to cre-ate a wonderful “dental home” for her young patients.
Having a daughter of her own, Dr. Shadi uses her own maternal experiences to create a positive environment for families from the first appointment. She listens and works with patients and parents to develop the best pos-
sible treatment.Following a visit
to the dentist’s office in the second grade, Dr. Shadi decided she would become a dentist. When she informed her family at age seven, they were amused. Little did they know where her determi-nation would take her!
In addition to extensive dental education, she excelled at advanced behavior manage-ment techniques, conscious sedation, limited orthodontics and working with special needs patients.
She is actively involved in the community, volunteering at health fairs, schools and community outreach programs.
Dr. Shadi, Dr. Ray and the entire staff work as a team to provide the most comprehensive care for all of their patients.

going to be as hard as our course,” Hyland said. “I think it’s good mental preparation for them to run here.”
Although Hallauer “has been our most consistent runner to this point,” the coach said, he’s also comfortable with the rest of the pack. Against Bothell and Woodinville, eight Skyline ath-letes recorded times of 17:40 or less, including senior Gordon Hu, junior Kosay Hartmann, sophomore William Kimball and
freshman Griffin Ganz.Skyline’s girls were equally
impressive in dispatching their opponents. Led by junior Maizy Brewer, the Spartans nabbed the top five positions and scored 15 points to beat Bothell (45) and Woodinville (60).
Brewer, who was 11th at last year’s state meet, recorded a win-
ning time of 18:43, more than a minute and a half in front of teammate Mckenzie Deutsch, the runner-up.
Brewer spent much of her sum-mer running track with the Junior Olympics program, and Hyland said she’s trying to build on that by slowly increasing her mile-age, training on soft surfaces and
focusing on steep hills. Brewer was 16th at last November’s Nike BorderClash, an all-star race for Oregon and Washington prep run-ners.
“She’s really wanting to go back this year and go top 10 there,” Hyland said. “We’re kind of training her, ultimately, to be a top state fin-isher and qualify for BorderClash.”

the Washington Junior Golf Association. He placed fifth at the WJGA state tournament in Spokane.
“For me, I’m trying to shoot par,” he explained. “I just had a couple swing lessons to fix my swing. I just changed my put-ting stroke. I’m trying to lead
the team into winning more matches.”
He could have plenty of help this fall if youngsters like McCoy continue playing well.
McCoy’s round wasn’t without its share of obstacles, one of them self-inflicted. On No. 7, he picked up his ball before marking it, a one-stroke penalty. He said he’d never made that mistake
before since he started playing competitively at age 10.
“I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt stupider,” he said with a chuckle.
“Other than that, I’d say it was a pretty good round.”
RP McCoy, his older brother, graduated last spring after a
strong four years of golf at Eastlake. Tommy said he thinks he can surpass RP’s accomplish-ments.

Conflicting storiesBut Patterson told King
County detectives that he talked with Shade about Bergesen, telling him that Bergesen had made sexual advances toward him, and had Shade come to the house at about midnight Sept. 16. Patterson said he then left the house and returned to find Shade beating Bergesen with a shovel.
He said he did tie up Bergesen and took his wal-let and credit cards, but he did so because Shade forced him to at knife point. He also said Shade forced him to drive Bergesen’s sto-len 2013 BMW 328 sedan to Canada and to use Bergesen’s credit cards.
Patterson said he had opportunities to escape from Shade, but “he was too traumatized by seeing his roommate beaten with a shovel,” the charging papers said. “He denied any involvement in planning this incident or in hitting the victim with a shovel.”
Shade told Canadian police that he went to the house to defend Patterson,
and that both of them hit Bergesen with shovels.
Shade told King County detectives that he had only known Patterson for 24 hours before the kill-
ing, and that Patterson discussed with him a plan to drug Bergesen, take his money and car, and go to Canada. Patterson told him that he did online research
into drugs to tranquilize Bergesen.
Shade said when Patterson let him into Bergesen’s house, Patterson took a shovel and rope and led Shade upstairs and told him to wait in his room. Shade said he heard noises from down the hall about 12 seconds later and when he ran into the room, Patterson was beat-ing Bergesen with a shovel. Shade said he also then “hit the victim once or twice with his shovel,” and that they then tied Bergesen up with the rope.
Shade showered and then the pair left the house. On their way to Canada, Patterson used Bergesen’s credit card “to buy gas, two Canadian pre-paid cell phones, an Apple Macbook computer and clothes.”
Arrest in Canada, extradition next
Police found the men because Bergesen’s BMW had a tracking device on it. The men were arrested at a motel. Canadian police arrested the men for possession of the sto-len car and illegally enter-ing Canada.
Patterson’s criminal history includes convic-
tions for criminal trespass, assault, custodial assault, identity theft, theft and forgery. Bergesen had supported him during his recent charges, taking him to attorney meetings and attending his sentencing.
Bergesen was plan-ning to go to Los Angeles on Sept. 17. The day before his death, he had exchanged text messages with Patterson’s sister about the trip, and said he was concerned about Patterson’s progress in reg-istering for school and his ability to make his month-ly restitution payments.
Shade is apparently from Texas and has no criminal history, pros-ecutors said. His booking form shows he lived in Issaquah and worked at Issaquah Cedar & Lumber.
Patterson has dual U.S. and Canadian citizenship, Sgt. DB Gates, of the King County Sheriff’s Office, said.
The next step in the case is for prosecutors to extradite the pair. The request has to go through the Office of International Affairs, part of the U.S. Justice Department, and can be a lengthy process, King County Prosecutor’s Office Spokesman Dan Donohoe said.

Victim’s church speaks out
This statement from Richard Bergesen’s church was released last week:
All of us at Overlake Christian Church who knew Rich Bergesen personally are grieving today.
Rich’s caring and compassionate heart touched many hurting people in our world. From ministering to street kids impacted by HIV/AIDS in South African townships, to community outreaches in Chile, to opening his home to a teenager in need, Rich was tireless in helping build the Kingdom of God here on earth. Rich was a tre-mendous friend, and a vibrant, essential part of our church family.
When Rich learned the story of Kevin Patterson, a home-
less young man whom our team befriended and began serving in December 2012, Rich offered him a place to stay and helped him take positive steps in his life. Rich and Kevin attended Sunday services, and were both at OCC last weekend. Rich had recently said that the nearly year-long experi-ence, though stretching, was positive and that he felt blessed to be able to help someone in this sig-nificant way. Rich was in the trenches of Christian ministry — being the hands and feet of Jesus to those hurting in our world.
We pray now for all who knew and loved Rich and were touched by his open-hearted-ness, generosity and courage. We also pray for Kevin and those who care about him and are grieving today as well.
Overlake Christian Church, Redmond
IRS warns of pervasive phone scam
A sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers, which first surfaced last year, has been making its way through Sammamish.
The Internal Revenue Service first warned the public of the scam in October 2013. Taxpayers are told they owe money to the IRS, and the debts must be paid promptly with pre-loaded debit cards or wire transfers.
If the taxpayer refus-es to cooperate, he or she is threatened with arrest, deportation or the suspension of his or her business or driver’s license. In many cases, the callers have become hostile and insulting.
IRS officials said last year the scam had infiltrated nearly every state in the country. Sammamish police Sgt. Tony Garza said sev-eral city residents had reported receiving simi-lar phone calls recently.
There are several char-acteristics of a scam the

public should be aware of:• Use of fake names and
IRS badge numbers. The scammers generally use common first names and surnames to identify them-
selves.• Scammers can often
recite the last four digits of someone’s Social Security number.
• If you have caller ID, the number shown may be a spoof of the IRS toll-free number.
• Fake emails from the IRS are often sent to victims to support the calls.
• Simulated background noise of other calls being conducted may mimic an actual call site.
• After threatening victims with jail time or other punishments, the scammers often call back under the guise of police or Department of Motor Vehicles officials, and caller ID may support their claims.
