The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:

Thursday, Jan. 31, 1991

• A clutch of important draft ordinances will be brought to the Snoqualmie City Council at its Feb. 11 meeting. Staff will present proposals for city laws covering sensitive areas, clearing and grading, subdivisions and surface water management. Ordinances covering these subjects were required by the interlocal agreement signed a year ago by King County, the city of Snoqualmie and the Weyerhaeuser development partnership, Snoqualmie Ridge Associates.

• It’s time to name the Riverview School District’s new high school. School Board president Cheri Stefani says she hopes that after harsh debate and a “rather emotional bond election,” the community can begin to come together by agreeing upon a name. The school board welcomes suggestions from groups or individual, and plans to appoint a commission of seven or eight people to narrow down the choices.

Thursday, Feb. 3, 1966

• A Seattle man, 25, who was to be taken to the King County jail from the North Bend jail Friday night escaped North Bend police but was arrested a few hours later by Gordon H. Johnson, an Issaquah patrolman. The fugitive was booked in the county jail. Police Chief Forrest Goodrow of Issaquah said the prisoner was hiding in a restroom and that he had stolen a car in North Bend.

• A full-time remedial reading project in Snoqualmie Valley School District 410 went into effect on Jan. 24. A federal grant of $10,051.61 for the program was approved by the State Office of Public Education. The funds come from the federal government under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
