September 28, 1989

• After an emotional meeting, Darrell Thompson resigned his seat on the Fall City fire commission after District 27 voted to pull out of a proposed merger with District 35 in Carnation and District 10 in Issaquah. Many of the 100 people who showed up brought signs with the words “Fire District 10” with a line through them. Former commissioner Jack Kelley and Lillie Broneman, wife of a retired longtime firefighter and commission secretary, both lambasted the merger. Critics say it would stip away local control.

October 1, 1964

Two Fall City boys, Lloyd Johnson and Jerry Krsak, walked out of the woods onto a logging road Sunday afternoon near Lake Marie. The two had been missing since getting lost on a hike Saturday, and were fine other than hunger and slight exposure. They spent the night huddled in the hollow of two logs. It was dark before parents knew where they had gone.

• Valley postmasters warn residents to “reject and dismiss” all requests for participation in a savings-bond chain letter receiving wide publicity in the state. According to postal inspectors, the office is engaged in a crackdown due to recent popularity of such schemes.
