FCPD: that’s right, Fall City Park District. Like the ring to that? Well, like everything else, it comes with a price tag.

A rant and a rave: A big league rant for the driver of the snow plow who so nicely did our streets but threw a two-plus-foot berm across our shared driveway.
Had this old, disabled guy not owned a gas-guzzling four wheel drive pick-up, we’d probably have been property-bound until a day or two ago.
In 2004, we heard a young man from the land of Lincoln electrify millions with a reminder that we are all Americans. The time had come to end the polarized politics poisoning our nation. The words were captivating enough to move many, including me, to read a book he had written some years before, “Dreams from My Father.”
Due to extraordinary efforts of staff and community volunteers, we are back in school this week, just four days after the severe flooding that pounded our community and schools.
I want to express a bit of frustration at the thought of Boalch Avenue closed for bridge repair. Nothing is being done to repave it.
Thanks again for the article on the children’s show I did last weekend at Valley Center Stage. The show was a real success. We had many really nice families.
Our rainy, gray Saturday was brightened up enormously by Courtney Campbell, a singer and performer who entranced children and parents alike at the Valley Center Stage today. Her songs and stories were delightful and had everyone singing and playing along.
We want to extend big thanks to Sean Sundwall for organizing the first annual Snoqualmie Ridge Turkey Trot 5K/1K run and community pancake feed on Nov. 15. His time, effort and generosity to bring the community together is something to commend! With community support, he was able to raise funds for both the Cascade View Elementary School and Snoqualmie Elementary School PTSAs. Thank you to the local sponsors for helping him realize this vision. These sponsors include Finaghty’s Irish Pub, Zeebi’s, Emerald City Smoothie, The Cascade Team, Kirby Nelson Orthodontics, Kumon, Bliss Spa on the Ridge, Footzone, Costco, Mike’s Cascade Grill, Snoqualmie Ridge Residential Owners Association and Sahara Pizza. Thank you to all the volunteers, as well. It turned out to be a very successful event while promoting fitness, fun, and community cohesiveness.

• On Nov. 28, 1582, playwright William Shakespeare, 18, and Anne Hathaway, 26, pay a 40-pound bond for their marriage license in Stratford-upon-Avon. By 1592, Shakespeare was well-established in London’s theatrical world as an actor and playwright.
