Look it up, Feb. 7 is, throughout the U.S., officially Pretend You’re a Bus Driver Day. Despite all that driving a bus has going for it, the Snoqualmie Valley School District is struggling with a shortage of drivers now, and the problem could be worse by the start of the next school year.

“It’s a problem around the entire state,” said school district spokeswoman Carolyn Malcolm.

Bus drivers Bruce Robinson and Karen Goldenberger stand in front of their buses, between routes for Snoqualmie Valley School District.

Jim Garhart agreed. He serves as the district’s director of transportation when he’s not out covering an open bus route, which is something he and his office staff are doing “every day,” right now.

“Every day my staff are driving,” he said.

Discrimination suit dismissed; Tribe has 20 days to amend

By EVAN PAPPAS

Snoqualmie Valley School District has 58 drivers and only one substitute, covering transportation for more than 6,000 students each school day.

“We usually have seven or eight subs,” said Garhart.

Staff Reporter

U.S. District Court Judge James L. Robart moved to dismiss a Snoqualmie Tribe discrimination lawsuit against the city of Snoqualmie May 16. However, Judge Robart gave the tribe 20 days to amend its complaint.

According to the official court ruling, the lawsuit originated from a dispute between the tribe and the city over sewer utilities for the casino in June 2014 when the city raised sewer rates for customers outside of city limits 50 percent over the rates inside the city limits. At the time, the city provided sewer, police, fire and emergency medical services (EMS) to

the tribe.

The tribe claimed that the city targeted the casino with the rate increase, since it was one of a few businesses outside of the city under contract for those services.

In 2013, both parties started negotiating the terms of a renewed service agreement; the existing agreement was set to end Nov. 30, 2015. Last July, the tribe asked to extend the agreement for one year, so they would have more time to determine a permanent solution.

The city agreed in October, but sent a letter to the tribe reporting that the city council had decided, in a 3-2 vote, to end the sewer services contract, effective at the end of the extension,

Nov. 30 2016.

The letter, signed by Mayor Matt Larson, explained that the city had learned of discussions between the Tribe and Eastside Fire and Rescue to provide EMS services in the future, and that the city was aware of the tribe’s work on a design for its own sewage treatment facility.

“The foregoing facts led the City Council to conclude that the tribe no longer wishes to receive fire, EMS or sanitary sewer services from the city, and that the tribe desired the one-year extension only so that the tribe could finalize arrangements to obtain services from itself, or others,” the Oct. 15 letter stated.

SEE LAWSUIT, 2

Snoqualmie Police Officer Nick Hogan, was formally charged Thursday, May 19, in federal court with using excessive force in a May 20, 2011, incident that occurred when he worked for the Tukwila Police Department.

According to the indictment, Hogan deprived the plaintiff, identified only with the initials M.S., of his civil rights by spraying him with pepper spray while M.S. was in fourpoint restraints, shackled to a hospital gurney.

The FBI’s Seattle Division is investigating the case. If Hogan is convicted, he could be subject to a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a potential $250,000 fine.

The case is being prosecuted

by Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Miyake of the Western District of Washington.

Hogan was also a named party in two other lawsuits claiming excessive use of force, for incidents that occurred when he was at the Tukwila Police Department. The city of Tukwila settled those suits, for a total of $275,000.

Hogan was hired to the Snoqualmie Police Department Feb. 10, 2014. He completed his probationary period without incident.

Last October, he was put on leave, “based on recent allegations of misconduct,” according to a city statement.

DRIVERS FROM 1 he said, he’ll be able to cover all of the routes and have a few subs.

To fill those 70 spots in an increasingly competitive market (Central Kitsap District recently reported that it was seeking 20 drivers) Garhart proposed the district’s first-ever career fair for classified employees May 10.

He hoped to attract people interested in the flexibility of the job, along with other benefits. “It’s a really great option for people who have kids in school, because they get the same vacations off,” he explained.

Karen Goldenberger, now in her 11th year as a driver, found the flexibility of the work to be most appealing. Driving two shifts of three hours each day left her with a four-hour gap in the early afternoons, just enough time for her to teach art at a local Montessori school.

“It was perfect,” she said.

Goldenberger, or K.G. as the other drivers call her, already loved being around children. The bus driver position, though, gave her a new way to see, and be seen, by her kids on the bus.

“They have this confidence in you,” she said, and sometimes shared their problems with her. “It’s a nice opportunity to help, to possibly plant a seed.”

Goldenberger joined the office staff a few years ago as a dispatcher, but hopes to keep that aspect of her work part-time because “I want to keep driving.”

For now, it seems she will be able to keep her bus routes, too. Turnout at the job fair was about 45 people, but most were interested in other classified positions available in the district.

Garhart isn’t discouraged just yet.

He and his staff have begun discussing the possibilities for next year’s routing with a smaller number of drivers but haven’t made any formal plans so far. School district staff are also considering ways to adapt positions, allowing part-time employees to add other part-time roles that will allow them to earn benefits.

Malcolm said the district is working on ways to get word out to Valley residents about these more flexible positions, but also about the support in place for bus drivers.

“Training is paid,” she noted at $10 per hour, and the district will help pay for a portion of a bus driver’s Commercial Drivers License (CDL) permit, required to operate a school

The Snoqualmie Casino, owned by the Snoqualmie Tribe, is outside Snoqualmie city limits and so pays a higher sewer rate than in-city customers do. The tribe filed a discrimination lawsuit against the city of Snoqualmie in December regarding the sewer rates.

Bruce Robinson and Karen Goldenberger share a connection with “their” kids on the bus and are proud to talk about it. Robinson still carries the mug one of his special needs students made for him. Caring for those students, he said, “is probably one of the most fulfilling things you can do.” bus. Cost for the CDL varies with a driver’s existing endorsements, but ranges from about $150 to more than $200.

The cost of the license is cited as one possible reason that school districts around the state are struggling to fill drivers’ seats. Garhart allows the possibility of that, but is emphatic about another speculation, that the drop in available bus drivers is connected to the state’s 2012 legalization of marijuana.

“We do random (drug) testing here, and we haven’t seen that as a problem,” he said.

The CDL, though, is expensive, and not quick to get, and Garhart said, “when people are looking for jobs, they’re sometimes looking for an income right now.”

Not all of them, though. When Bruce Robinson applied to be a driver more than eight years ago, he was in search of a diversion. His own children were out of school and he’d taken early retirement from a construction management job, so “I got extremely bored,” he said.

Robinson started as a substitute driver, and subbed for nearly two years before he got his own route.

“That’s unheard of today,” he said, with regret.

That extra training time as a substitute was invaluable, he said.

“You rode along with other drivers, you learned their personalities, how

they talked to the kids,” he said.

He borrowed some of what he saw his trainers do, but created his own style of connecting to students on the bus, who quickly became “his” kids. “I dress up (in costume) a lot,” he explained, including as the Easter bunny before the mid-winter break, and as a “Star Wars” character for May 4.

“May the Fourth be with you,” he explained.

He also enjoys teasing his passengers, especially the middle-school boys who are young enough to still respect him, he says, but old enough to be skeptical of everything he says.

“That is the best part of the job,” he said, “messing with the kids.” But only he is allowed to do that. “Nobody else messes with my kids,” he said, more than once.

Robinson is about to retire — has actually put off retirement to the end of the school year, because he knows it’s going to be a hard transition for him.

“I love what I do,” he said. “I tell people this is the perfect job. You get to drive heavy equipment and you get to play with kids.”

The Snoqualmie Valley School District is now taking applications for bus drivers, in hopes of training applicants over the summer, to be ready to roll when the 2016-17 school year starts in August. Visit http://www. svsd410.org.-

Arts Commission calls for ‘Trains Around Town’ proposals The Snoqualmie Arts Commission is looking for artists, working in any medium, to participate in a new public art project called “Trains Around Town.”

The project asks artists to decorate one-and-a-half by two-foot wooden “blanks” that features an outline of a train.

The finished wooden blanks will be on display during Snoqualmie’s Railroad Days this summer.

The art will also be displayed at the Art Gallery of Sno Valley on Railroad Avenue in September and will be featured at the Finally Friday Art and Wine Walk on Aug. 26.

Participants at the walk will vote on their favorite art works and the winning artists will receive $200 round trip passes from the Northwest Railway Museum.

Applicants must submit artist information and an application form, a sketch or description and a release waiver to Snoqualmie’s Associate Planner Nicole Sanders at nsanders@ci.snoqualmie.wa.us. Applications are available on the city website at www.cityofsnoqualmie.org.

All applications are due by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 8.

The tribe said the city had interfered with its efforts in obtaining replacement fire and EMS services by submitting a public records request regarding any communication between the tribe and EF&R. The tribe said the request could increase potential service costs if the city sued EF&R over any agreement with the tribe.

The lawsuit submitted by the tribe Dec. 22, 2015, claims the city’s decisions were intentional racial discrimination and that “the city is trying to choke out the tribe on the basis of race.”

The city asked the court to dismiss the tribe’s allegations due to “insufficient facts to support that claim.”

The court concluded that the tribe did not provide evidence that indicates race was a factor in any of the city’s actions. The ruling states, “The tribe fails to plead facts from which the court can reasonably infer purposeful racial discrimination.”

The tribe argued that the city did not threaten to terminate services to any of its other customers and that the sewer rate increase affected only a few customers, the largest of which is the tribe’s casino property, therefore the city had targeted them based on race.

The court disagreed.

“To begin, the tribe is challenging the city’s 2015 decision to terminate services, not the city’s 2014 rate increase,” the ruling stated. “Moreover, disparate impact alone cannot show intentional discrimination absent a ‘stark’ and ‘clear’ pattern, ‘unexplainable on grounds other than race”... No such pattern is alleged here.”

The court granted the city’s motion to dismiss the tribe’s claim but granted the tribe the option to amend their complaint by early June to “cure the deficiencies” of the claim.

In a statement released by the city of Snoqualmie, Mayor Larson said the city did not discriminate and the council’s decision was based on an inability to negotiate new agreement.

“The city council, the administration, and our staff have always been committed to providing cost-effective utility services – fairly and without regard to race,” Larson said in a press release.

“The city wasn’t able to negotiate a long-term sewer contract extension when the other party (the Tribe) was refusing to meet or negotiate, so it was only common sense for us to have said that ‘no negotiation means no contract means no future services.’ That was not discrimination, and we are pleased that the court recognized this.”

When contacted for comment, tribal spokesman Jerry Lamb said the tribe intended to amend the complaint to add evidence of discrimination.

“The court dismissed, without prejudice, only one of the tribe’s multiple claims against the city. The tribe has every intention of amending our complaint to add more evidence of discrimination as requested by the court,” said Jerry Lamb, executive director of governmental affairs for the Snoqualmie Tribe.

“Furthermore, the court rejected many of the city’s arguments that the city made in its attempt to make it more difficult for the tribe to prove our claims. We feel good about where we are right now, given what we have learned in the documents the city has provided so far in the discovery process.”

Local legislators to see challengers for office The filing period for candidates who want to run for office ended Friday, May 20. Among the offices on the ballot are local Senators and Representatives to the state and U.S. Legislature. Many incumbents will see challengers this year.

In the 5th District of the state Senate, incumbent Mark Mullet will face challenger Chad Magendanz. Currently a 5th District Representative, Position 2, Magendanz announced in 2015 that he would seek the 5th District Senate seat in the November election.

By running for Senate, Magendanz has created a vacancy for his House seat. Three people have filed for the seat, two of them Democrats, so voters will have a choice to make in the August primary. Matt Larson of Snoqualmie and Darcy Burner of Carnation will be on the primary ballot. One will advance to the general election, to face challenger Paul Graves of Fall City.

Also in the 5th District House of Representatives, Position 1 incumbent Jay Rodne, a Republican, has filed for re-election. He will be challenged by Democrat Jason Ritchie. Another challenger, Arien Huckeba, filed last week for the office but later withdrew from the race.

For the 45th District Representative, Position 1, incumbent Roger Goodman will be challenged by Ramiro Valderrama. Incumbent Larry Springer in Position 2 is unopposed.

In the 1st U.S. Congressional District House of Representatives, incumbent Suzan DelBene faces several challengers, Robert J. Sutherland, Alex Storms, Scott Stafne and John Orlinski. Rep. Dave Reichert, 8th District, has filed for re-election, with opposition from Keith Arnold, Santiago Ramos, Tony Ventrella, Margaret M. Walsh and Alida Skold.

The Washington state general election primary is Tuesday, Aug. 2. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Applicants invited to join city’s economic development group The city of North Bend is seeking applicants to fill multiple vacancies on its Business and Economic Development Commission.

The recently restructured commission now consists of five members and is responsible for providing recommendations to the City Council for North Bend’s economic growth and development, based on work plans assigned by the council.

Two members of the commission must be city residents. One member must on the city council. The final two members must work or own a business in the city.

Submit applications to City of North Bend, Attn: City Clerk, PO Box 896, North Bend, WA 98045.

PAST

This week in Snoqualmie Valley history Thursday, May 23, 1991

Welcome to your Snoqualmie Valley

T

his week, we present our annual Visitor’s Guide, a collection of maps, photos and information that tourists can use to orient themselves in the Valley and find their way to the area’s big attractions.

It’s my second favorite of all the special sections we do each year (after our Then & Now history extravaganza in the fall), but it’s also one of the most frustrating projects I work on in a year.

It’s because of CAROL LADWIG the name.

This 40-page Editor special section (really, an art project with all the scenic photos from readers) is

called a visitor’s guide, and sure, it’s intended for tourists, but not just for tourists.

You, for instance, are probably reading this because it landed on your doorstep, which is most likely in the Valley. You’re the opposite of a visitor. This guide is for you, too.

What makes me so sure? After living in the Valley for 16 years, I still learn something new in every edition of the visitor’s guide. I’m not making any guarantees, but I hope you will, too, if you take five minutes to flip through the pages.

Another frustration for me is how to describe each city in a new, haven’tdone-it-100-times-already way.

The cities speak for themselves once you get to them, so it’s just a matter of letting people know, subtly, why they should visit each city: Why North Bend is not a pit stop

on the way to and from the mountains or the malls but an actual destination; Why Snoqualmie is more than just that city with the waterfall; Why Fall City is a float traffic destination, but also a vibrant community of businesses and artists; Why Carnation prides itself on its farming heritage.

To highlight one element of each city is to leave out a lot of other great stuff — the North Bend Farmers Market which opens in two weeks, the beautiful parks scattered across Snoqualmie, the history of Fall City, the future of Carnation.

It’s a bit of a jigsaw puzzle getting a select few pieces to fit into our little guide, and like a puzzle, it’s frustrating at times, but also fulfilling to see the finished product. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Where do you take Valley visitors?

Typically we’ll get them up to Rattlesnake. Good views and a lot of accessible stuff they can do.

I read your article (‘Affordable Housing isn’t low-income housing, May 11) on affordable housing, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts and experiences.

As a Ridge resident and business owner, I live the struggle of housing costs every day. My employees make above minimum wage, but as your math demonstrated, it takes dramatically more than that to rent in Snoqualmie.

I’m limited to a population of either 18- to 22-year-olds who live with their parents or workers old enough to need only an auxiliary income.

The alternative is to attract people to commute from Maple Valley or Renton, but it’s a very tough sell. None of these make for very long-term employees.

To bring it even closer to home, I’ve been running my shop since December 2009. To date, I’ve been able to grow the business and live off savings, but last year, needed to sell my house and move to a rental.

By the end of 2016, I must either return to the general workforce to continue living in Snoqualmie, or move out of the Valley myself and commute to the business. With the price of both residential and commercial rent going ever upwards, it’s a race that is constantly harder to win.

I’ve heard a lot of complaining from people who don’t want affordable housing in their back yards. I’m here to say that without it, there will be other things

missing from their back yards.

They won’t have affordable goods and services, no small businesses and no small business owners.

Their back yards will extend clear to Issaquah, where they will have to do their shopping.

Federal offices should show more respect with flags Last week, Governor Inslee announced that all flags in the state were to be lowered to half staff to honor a National Guard Officer who died while on active duty in Iraq, who was also a Washington State Patrol Trooper.

Sadly, not one of the flags in North Bend at either the U.S. Post Office, the Forest Service Ranger Station nor Fire Station 87 were lowered to half staff. Each of these agencies and its employees (should) receive official notifications of when and why to lower their flags, but failed to comply.

The Army Specialist Joseph P. Micks Federal Flag Code Amendment Act of 2007 gives the state governors authority to order flags to be lowered for any military service member who dies while serving on active duty.

North Bend needs to talk about city fireworks code Fourth of July is fast approaching.

Last year, one of the driest summers ever recorded in this area, neighbors set off their own professional-grade firework display for three hours.

North Bend is one of the last towns in King County that has not banned the use of fireworks by amateurs on the Fourth of July. Virtually all towns throughout the U.S. have recognized the danger inherent in the unregulated use of fireworks.

In addition to the danger to property and people, these private fireworks displays terrorize animals and disturb the peace and serenity of many citizens.

We attended a Public Health and Safety meeting in North Bend in early April where we discovered that fireworks is not on the committee’s agenda. The means for change is through a vote of the City Council members.

Legally, nothing can be changed this year; however, we are taking comments and/or suggestions from residents of North Bend who may have a similar experience to ours.

We will take comments to the City Council to begin addressing the ban of fireworks in the private sector. You can reach us at northbendfireworks@gmail.com.

Professional fireworks show coming to Snoqualmie

By EVAN PAPPAS Staff Reporter

Details on the new organization Serve Snoqualmie’s planned Fourth of July fireworks show, as well as the city of Snoqualmie’s new firework-related laws were shared by the fire and police departments at a meeting on Thursday, May 19, at the Snoqualmie YMCA. Snoqualmie’s new firework ordinance, taking effect earlier this year, bans all personal aerial fireworks within the city and allows fireworks to be set off only on July 4 and Dec. 31.

Serve Snoqualmie, the community service division of Church on the Ridge, is planning a professional fireworks show called “Red, White and Boom,” in Community Park July 4.

Jeff Mihal, fireworks chair of Serve Snoqualmie and director of guest

services and events for Church on the Ridge, said Serve Snoqualmie hired professional pyrotechnics and fireworks company Entertainment Fireworks to do the show as well as partnering with community organizations to fund the event.

City laws prohibit only personal use of aerial fireworks.

Entertainment Fireworks has filed for city permits allowing them to put on the professional aerial fireworks show.

Fire Chief Mark Correira and Police Chief Steve McCulley also spoke about the new laws that are now in place and their involvement in July 4 celebrations.

McCulley said the new ordinance is a great compromise because it reduces the danger while still allowing some fireworks to be used.

He also stated that citations will be written for anyone found to have aerial fireworks in the city. The fine is $250 for possession of illegal fireworks, and $750 for setting off any such fireworks.

Correira said the fire department will notify all Snoqualmie residents, by phone of the law changes.

“There shouldn’t be any reason people do not know what is legal and what is not,” McCulley said.

Piccola Cellars makes room for Jazz Clubs NW in former North Bend fire hall

By CAROL LADWIG Editor

Live jazz in North Bend used to call Boxley’s Restaurant home. Now, it’s moving just a couple of blocks away, to Piccola Cellars, in the renovated old city fire station.

The arrangement, negotiated between Jazz Clubs NW and Piccola was given the go-ahead by another party, the North Bend City Council, which officially still owns the Piccola building. In a unanimous

vote May 17, the council approved an amendment to the Piccola lease, allowing the venue to expand its lease into more of the old fire station building to add a stage for live music, and down the road, potentially a restaurant.

For the long-range plan, there are no specifics just yet, but in the short term, “Piccola is partnering with Jazz Clubs NW,” on an ambitious schedule to bring live jazz back into North Bend five nights a

week, said Jazz Clubs NW Executive Director Gregory Malcolm.

Before closing April 23, Boxley’s hosted live jazz performances Wednesday through Sunday, every week.

“We’d like to go back to that schedule because it’s not only professionals playing, it’s to work with local students interested in jazz,” said Malcolm.

They’ve already started live jazz performances, he added, weekly on Thursdays

at the Piccola tasting room.

The transition from Piccola as a warehouse and tasting room to Piccola plus a stage is likely going to be phased in, Malcolm said, starting with a stage, then a possible remodel and finally a restaurant. Questions on the structural impact of the proposed removal of an interior wall to open up a potential stage area, and how the partnership might affect the winery operations will need to be answered, too.

In the short term, though, Malcolm is hoping to have the stage area, wherever it ends up, booked with live music by mid-June.

“It will be a great situation for our nonprofit because we continue to get to present music,” he said, adding, “live jazz is alive and well.”

The partnership between the winery and the nonprofit was actually fostered by the city of North Bend, Malcolm said, after the club learned that the historic building that Boxley’s was in was about to be sold.

“Piccola stepped in and said hey, this (partnership) is a great idea. It seems like a win-win-win.”

Fans pile into the open-air Piccola Cellars tasting room during the 2015 Blues Walk, one of the Jazz Clubs NW main events According to the amended lease agreement, Piccola will expand into the remaining two engine bays in the building for a $500 monthly rent increase, from $1,300 to $1,800 for the full space.

Should the tasting room eventually create a restaurant on the site, the rent will increase to $2,400 per month. For now, Piccola is planning to get a food cart permit.

The winery will be financially responsible for installing a second restroom on the site and other planned improvements. Jazz Clubs NW will help with funding, too, Malcolm said. “We’ve put in for a $10,000 (King

County 4Culture) grant at Piccola that will get us started on the work.”

The total build out cost is estimated at $66,000.

The five-year lease, started in 2014, also specifies that Jazz Clubs NW be allowed to operate at Piccola. If the non-profit ceases operation or leaves the winery, the business will have to renegotiate the terms of leasing the additional space.

Jazz Clubs NW, formerly the Boxley Music Fund, is the sponsor of the North Bend Jazz Walks and Blues Walks. Learn more about live music events from the organization at www. jazzclubsnw.org.

After winning the KingCo 4A championship, Mount Si’s varsity baseball team made it into the state tournament, where they faced off against Gig Harbor in the first round Friday, May 20.

They were knocked out of the tournament with a 1-0 loss to Gig Harbor, ending their season with a record of 18-6.

Despite the loss, this season was a showcase of great improvement from the team, which had a 3-17 record in 2015.

Zach Habben, head coach, said the improvement in leadership and communication was one of the major factors.

“It’s a complete turn around from last season, we have great leadership and guys came out, played hard and came together and played as a group which is great,” Habben said.

“We didn’t change anything as far as what our goal is and what we practice. It’s the execution on their part.

The biggest thing is we have had great leadership this year, the guys did not like the way last year turned out and they came out this year and said its not going to happen to us again and it paid off.”

In the week leading up to the regional tournament, Habben talked to the Record about the team. He said their practices were

After winning the KingCo 4A championship, Mount Si baseball players return to practice to prepare for their State tournament game against Gig Harbor. more varied and focused than during the regular season, because they didn’t have to play league games.

“We have time. Before you wouldn’t be able to throw all of your pitchers on one day for an intersqaud, we did that on Monday, we get the bullpens in, we get light pitching, we get to play defense, it’s nice to be able to mix it up and do something a little different knowing that we have five days,” Habben said.

Jimmy Boyce, senior and one of the team captains, was proud of his team for

taking the KingCo title and getting as far in post-season play as they did.

“We had some tough losses towards the end of the regular season. I think it only brought these guys closer together and I think it showed on that last week of those playoffs in KingCo. We came away with three really good wins, we played really hard and really great baseball for three days and that bought us the KingCo title,” he said. “I think at times we had trouble executing small things, but other than that, our pitch-

ing, defense and hitting especially has been great all year and has propelled us.”

The team is young, and some key seniors are leaving this year, Habben said.

However, he knows the returning players will be able to fill the roles of those who leave.

“We are hoping the juniors and sophomores step up and take their place just like this group of seniors did from last year,” Habben said. “First base, shortstop, catcher, left, center and right fields, everyone is coming back. I like

the outlook.”

What Habben is more worried about is losing the baseball field. Due to the large-scale construction beginning this summer at Mount Si High School, the Wildcats will need to find a substitute home field for next season.

“We don’t know yet. I wish I had an answer but we don’t know. We’ve been working with the district and trying to see if it’s something within the city, if it’s district or whatever it might be, but unfortunately we don’t know,” Habben said.

Valley semi-pro teams prepare for summer season Semi-pro baseball teams in the Valley are gearing up to begin the summer season, with the Northwest Honkers starting on Memorial Day weekend and Snoqualmie Valley Hurricanes opening on June 3.

The Northwest Honkers, based in Fall City, will be starting out their season with a tournament in the Tri-Cities on Memorial Day weekend.

Martin Lawrence, general manager and founder of the Northwest Honkers, said his young staff and team will be continuing to foster a friendly and competitive culture.

“We want to create culture within the Honkers of high energy and let the players have a lot of freedom in the way they play. It allows them to experiment with the different styles of baseball and allows them to do their own thing,” he said.

Last year they finished

second overall in the Pacific International League (PIL) and are looking to continue to improve.

“As a team we lead the PIL in home runs. The Seattle Studs, who won the world series, did not hit as well as we did,” Lawrence said. “But that didn’t take us very far.

Pitching was our weakness and we felt like our pitchers were the same guy. We tried to bring guys with different arm angles and different arm velocities.”

As for the Hurricanes, they have gone independent and will be playing their opening game against the Northwest Honkers at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 3 at Ravensdale Park.

Peter Kairis, founder and general manager of the Hurricanes, is excited to see the team move in a different direction than in previous years.

He said they are looking forward to “just having a

good season and building.

This year, we are not in the PIL. This year, we are doing what a few other teams are doing, independent semipro baseball.”

Being independent gives Kairis and the Hurricanes more control over where their money is spent and how they operate as an organization.

“We still play all the PIL teams and we still get to go to all the tournaments,” he said.

To start this new independent season, the Hurricanes will be playing their opening game at their new home field, Ravensdale Park, in Ravensdale. The park, which has just finished phase one of construction and renovation as part of a multi-phase project, will allow the Hurricanes to have a space for practice and to host home games.

As for the players themselves, Kairis said the year

“The year looks good, we’ve got a few of the returning players, pitching looks strong,” he said.

“We’ve got Ciprian Ortiz.

He is a 44-year-old U.S. Marshal, we look to see out of him a left-handed pitcher with a good fastball. He’s got pinpoint accuracy and we picked him up this year.”

Wilderness Rim hosts third annual community fun run

Local children help the volunteers hold up the finish line tape for 5k runners.

Staff Reporter

Residents of Wilderness Rim brought out their sneakers and umbrellas on Saturday, May 21, for the third annual Wilderness Rim 5k Run. Despite the rain, the Wilderness Rim Run saw more than 30 people racing.

The event featured a 1k run for children and a 5k run.

Austin Lange won the 1k run, which started and ended at Cascade Park.

Byron Danshita and Alex Brown took second and third, respectively.

Steve McDonald, racing director and creator of the event, said the 1k run was designed to let kids participate without being too intense.

The 5k race is a course, routed by McDonald, that takes runners throughout the whole development of Wilderness Rim and incorporates some of the trails around the area.

Julene McDonald won the 5K with a time of 21:50.

In second was Heather Larson-Paul with 23:51 and in third was Brendan Hyland coming in at 24:04.

McDonald said the idea for the run was to get people in the community to socialize.

“My idea a few years ago was to get the community

together, to get people off their couches and to come out and do some socializing,” he said.

“Sean Sundwall puts on the Run Snoqualmie series, anywhere from 5ks to 10ks

and half marathons. I was thinking we have a great community in Wilderness Rim... and a great area that’s got a lake at Cascade Park and we’ve got a loop that runs around the develop-

ment. North Bend doesn’t necessarily have a fun run type event....”

With the help of volunteers, McDonald has been able to host the run for three consecutive years and plans to keep going. The Rim Run is become one of the biggest events in the community and has expanded each year.

“We wanted to draw as many people as we possibly

can,” McDonald said. “It’s a stepping stone for kids to get involved in other fun runs and maybe even middle school track and field and cross country.”

McDonald emceed the event, instead of running, because of a bicycle accident last year which fractured his arm in eight places.

After surgery and a year of recovery time, McDonald

is up and running again, but he sat this last run out to help get others.

“The recovery has gone very well and I’m back out there running again,” he said. “I was debating whether or not to help put this on and I think we have to face our challenges and get right back on the saddle again and do it. This is something I truly enjoy doing.”

County Executive pitches housing authority plan for 2,000 units of affordable housing in next six years King County Executive Dow Constantine on May 19 proposed a new partnership with the King County Housing Authority that would develop or acquire more than 2,000 units of affordable housing with low-cost financing made possible by the county’s excellent credit rating.

Under Constantine’s proposal, the King County Housing Authority, using the county’s triple-A credit rating, could develop or preserve up to 2,200 units of affordable housing over the next six years in strategic locations, such as near mass transit or highperforming schools.

“To ensure a strong, thriving middle class in our region, we must have more housing that is both affordable and connected to opportunity,” said Constantine.

“By joining forces with the King County Housing Authority, we will deliver

“We must have more housing that is both affordable and connected to opportunity.”

Dow Constantine King County Executive more than two thousand units of affordable housing countywide – near mass transit and in vibrant neighborhoods.”

Changes in banking practices in recent years have made it difficult for King County Housing Authority to get low-cost financing, despite a solid financial track record.

With King County guaranteeing the loans, the authority will be able to get a line of credit from banks, to acquire property sooner while it’s still relatively affordable.

“This partnership lever-

ages the county’s credit authority to support the county’s social equity and smart growth agenda,” said Stephen Norman, Executive Director of King County Housing Authority.

“County government’s support enables KCHA to work with the market to set the stage for the long term social and economic health of the region.”

Constantine and Norman have directed their staffs to negotiate the details of this agreement, which will need to provide flexibility for the Housing Authority to act quickly while ensuring the protection of the county’s bond rating. A detailed proposal is expected in the summer.

The initiative would expand a partnership that over the past 20 years has helped the Housing Authority acquire more than 2,000 apartments that are affordable to working families.

SPREADING OUR WINGS IN PUGET SOUND

The new 777X Composite Wing Center (CWC) is now officially open, a milestone for the future of aviation. This billion-dollar investment is a key step in our century-long commitment to the Puget Sound community and a promise to invest in our Washington workforce as they build the largest wings Boeing has ever produced.

We are proud to salute the people who built this remarkable factory and the highly skilled men and women who will help bring this plane to life. It took invaluable support from the community leaders and union partners to make the CWC in Everett a reality, and we are grateful for all their efforts.
