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

• Felony vandalism charges against two Snoqualmie teenagers will be filed after the damage estimates are in, according to Detective Thad Frampton of the King County Police. As Frampton related, a man was taking his morning walk recently on Boalch Avenue when he heard six shots coming from the vicinity of his parked truck. He witnessed a red pickup leaving the scene and returned to find four bullet holes in his own vehicle. On Halloween night, a truck similar in description was seen driving away after a car and a house were splattered with eggs.

• The Fall City sewer plan received a resounding “No!” from residents at a public hearing held last Thursday. The most common complaints against building a sewer system had to do with the projected cost to citizens, the possibility that it would pollute the Snoqualmie River, and the likelihood that the resulting housing density would destroy the town’s rural character.

• Janet Remlinger, 16-year old Tolt High School junior, measured the distance from the Space Needle Restaurant to the ground last Saturday morning. It measures somewhat less than 14,896 gum wrappers. Janet used wrappers from 2,979 packages of gum, representing a capital outlay of $150, in making her 620-foot, 8-inch chain. And she’s not a gum chewer! “Oh now and then I have, but when I do, it’s not the brand that can be used to make the chain,” she said.

• Mr. William Payson Holt, who will be 102 on Nov. 27, was married Nov. 12 to Mrs. Karen Monrad, 77, by Justice of the Peace Evangeline Starr. The couple reside at the new Theodora Home in Seattle. Mr. Holt lived in Preston for many years before moving to the Theodora Home about six years ago.
