The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:
Thursday, Oct. 25, 1990
• Three school district representatives from the Snoqualmie Valley were among panelists at the Eastside Human Services Council’s “Families in the ‘90s” forum last week: Dr. Rich McCullough, superintendent of the Snoqualmie Valley School District; Dennis Moroney, director of Two Rivers Alternative High School; and Kathie McMahon, principal of Tolt Middle School. All agree that schools have changed and much needs to be done to serve and retain all students. The forum looked at the role of government, schools and education in sustaining the family.
• Lisa Hart has had a good response to her campaign to mail water containers and food overseas. After a story appeared in the Valley Record, Hart reported that Dorothy Rebert of Fall City brought in 20 dozen fresh-baked cookies and Gloria Danielson’s Adventure Camp Fire group and Issaquah Girl Scout Troop 1201 sent letters and pictures. “People seem really interested in helping because this is for a specific person and her command over there,” Hart said.

• Voters in the Snoqualmie Valley School District will vote on three propositions in the general election, Nov. 2. Propositions 1 and 2 are levies for five mills each while Proposition 3 reaffirms school support not to exceed 14 mills. Prop. 1 would raise $76,449.90, for salaries, to heat buildings, transport children and buy materials and supplies.
• Four paintings have been donated by artist Joyce Housmann to the Joseph Yowell Orthopedic Guild for its annual bazaar. The paintings, nature scenes depicting the four seasons in the Northwest and Snoqualmie Valley, are valued at $100 by the artist. The paintings will be displayed at the Duvall office and the Tri Valley Insurance office. Members of the guild also are donating a doll and wardrobe as the have in other years.
