The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:
Thursday, Dec. 6, 1990
• King County Police confirmed that an investigation is underway regarding bomb threats made to Loveland Chev & Olds, the North Bend company that was the subject of a Seattle Times story Friday. The story, about Loveland charging Donald and Sheila Zepp $487 to tow their van less than 2 miles to Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, during a major flood, triggered another flood, of hate mail and phone calls to the company.
• The number-one choice of new school sites for the high school, out of five the Riverview School Board had available, is the Batten Road location. The site is accessible from many directions and the property is located next to the Duvall city limits on about 40 acres at Northeast 150th Streeet.

• Vandals broke several windows and did considerable damage to contents of the Bob Krieger Memorial Scout Cabin in Snoqualmie some time between Thanksgiving and the first of December. Hadley Rogers, president of the Snoqualmie Valley Jaycees, told the Record that toys, games and puzzles being collected by the Jaycees for distribution by the Snoqualmie Valley Christmas Club were stored in the building. Many were destroyed or stolen by the vandals, who gained access through broken windows.
•Captain Norman Sauvage, son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Sauvage of Fall City, has been awarded the U.S. Air Force Air Medal at Langley AFB, Va. Captain Sauvage, a C-130 pilot, received the medal for meritorious achievement during military flights while assigned to duty in southeast Asia.
