Brian Gray of Mr. K’s Construction lays a row of brick pavers at the new Snoqualmie Valley Veteran’s Memorial. A plaza at the site includes personalized bricks with messages of remembrance and patriotism. The $40,000 monument connects all Valley communities and honors locals who died in service to their nation over more than a century.

After four-year push, Snoqualmie Valley vet’s memorial ready for dedication

BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor

There are only six words in the inscription.

“The Dubey Family honors Jack Dubey.”

But Cristy Lake, assistant director at the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum, knows the whole story behind the words on the brick paver. As clerk for the Snoqualmie Valley

Veteran’s Memorial, Lake takes orders for the $100 memorial bricks, sales of which fund the memorial project. In the process, she hears or reads the stories behind the bricks.

She learned Jack Dubey’s story from his brother, Neil, a Snoqualmie resident. The two men served in the U.S. Merchant Marine together during World War II. Neil met his sailor brother by chance on the street twice in the two weeks before Jack’s ship was torpedoed off the Atlantic coast.

North Bend plans attack on odors City explains distressing discharge

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

North Bend’s 50 year-old wastewater treatment plant is the source of complaints about ongoing unpleasant odors, and lately, concern over murky, foamy discharges into the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River.

Talking with the ‘Tractor Men’ Meet the family guys behind the farm-flavored fundraiser calendar

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

H

e’s got five tractors, and five grandchildren, and it’s tough to say which of them makes Jim Richter of Fall City happiest. He loves that the grandchildren have each picked out their favorite tractors already, the ones they plan to inherit some day. He’s also pretty proud of the four classic tractors he put on display, along with himself as Mr. December, in the 2012 Snoqualmie Valley Tractor Men calendar.

That’s right, there’s room for 64-year-old grandfathers, too, in the pinup calendar created by Valley photographer Robin Woelz.

“The deal is that I am so good-looking,” Richter begins, but he starts laughing before he can even finish the joke.

The calendar does feature a few undeniably sexy photos of local men at work on the farm — women are the target market, after all — but in the end, the calendar is about family, fun and maybe even a little farming.

Family focus Family is where it all started for Woelz, whose niece inadvertently gave her the idea for the calendar, while watching the parade of tractors at the Carnation 4th of July celebration.

Another niece, Karisa Beerbower, helped her with all the photography. The photos all ultimately had to pass a family test, too.

“It’ll be sexy, but nothing you’ll be embarrassed to give your grandma,” Woelz said when she first started planning the calendar.

The Tractor Men are family-focused, too. Jim Doran says he wanted to be in the calendar (he’s Mr. March) to serve as a role model for his 8- and 10-year-old sons.

“I kind of wanted to make a statement to them that it’s OK to be proud of the gifts that have been given to you by DNA, or God, or whoever you call it,” he said.

He also suspects that years from now, “My kids and grandchildren can look at it, and laugh at it.”

Richter hopes his grandchildren get a kick out of the calendar, but it’s doubtful they’ll have as much fun as he did.

“I had a ball with it, and if it happens again, I’ll definitely volunteer,” he says.

He also appreciates that part of the calendar’s proceeds will be donated to other farming programs like 4-H, Future Farmers of America, and Sno-Valley Tilth (www.snovalleytilth.net).

Richter grew up farming, and had planned to be a farmer himself since about age 7.

“I was more or less born on a tractor,” he explained. “My dad kind of got me hooked.” His father, who farmed with his uncle on the same farm where Richter and his wife Peggy now live, hired young Jim to help him in the field one day, steering a “cultipack” behind the tractor, which Dad drove. He got paid 25 cents an hour, he said “and boy, then I was hooked. I was going to be a tractor driver!”

Doran, originally from Georgia, has always been a gardener, but on a fairly large scale, growing up to five acres of crops on his Duvall farm in recent years. He downsized last year to balance his full-time job at Microsoft with his responsibilities as a single parent, but he hopes to expand again soon. He is excited that his 8- and 10-year-old sons are planning their own gardens for next spring, too.

They are all from the Valley, but not all of these calendar guys spend much time on a tractor. Jim Jones, aka Mr. February, confessed “The ‘farm’ was all tongue in cheek…. I don’t even have a vegetable garden!” He does, however, have a window box with a few herbs growing in it, which became, for publicity purposes, Jones Family Herbs.

Jones first learned about the Tractor Man auditions in August from aValley Record article and decided, with the OK of his two teenage daughters, to audition because “I loved the idea of promoting the Valley,” he said.

Left, posed with one of his favorite John Deeres, Jim Richter made the December page of the Tractor Men calendar. He has one tractor for each grandchild, and says he’ll rush right out and buy another John Deere, should another grandchild come along. Also pictured are, top right, Mr. August, Dustin Felts of Carnation, and, above, Mr. September, Adam McCardy of Carnation’s Oxbow Farm.

Below, the calendar’s back page shows all the guys.

He’s lived in Fall City for the last 15 years, and found that “The kind of people who live in the Valley are the kind of people that I can respect… they’re more interested in fundamental values, helping out the neighbors, supporting America.”

There was also a touch of “why not?” in his approach to the calendar.

“I certainly don’t mind people poking fun at me for doing a wacky thing,” he said. “I enjoy doing things that are out of the ordinary.”

His appearance with Woelz and a handful of the other Tractor Men to promote the calendar on King 5’s New Day Northwest on October 24 was definitely in that category (replays at http:// www.king5.com/new-day-northwest/Tractor-Men-of-SnoqualmieValley-Calendar-132453878.html). The show’s audience surprised everyone with their enthusiasm, and would have seemed equally in place at a rock concert or playoff game.

Veterans’ memorial, start to finish The story of the Snoqualmie Valley Veterans’ Memorial begins with the individual memorials created by residents of several local communities in the years after the world wars.

Some of those memorials still stand. Others have vanished. A group of historians, veterans and passionate community members began work five years ago for a new, central memorial in Snoqualmie. Fundraising efforts reached critical mass by spring of 2011, leading to the start of construction at the Renton-Pickering Post this summer. A dedication and celebration is planned for 11:11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11.

Vanished memorials, 1945 Among the vanished Valley memorials are the North Bend Service Roll, left, posted in front of the main grocery story at Bendigo Boulevard and North Bend Way in this 1945 photo by Harold Keller, and the employee service rolls at the Weyerhaeuser Mill, below. The new Snoqualmie Valley monument is meant to combine existing and vanished memorials into one.

A new vision, 2008 A big crowd of veterans and civic officials ceremonially break ground on Veterans’ Day in 2008, spurring the initial campaign for a new Valley memorial. However, the oncoming national recession slowed donations and progress for a few years.

Back in motion, 2010 Memorial backers were pleased to see new impetus and energy come into the project. By mid2010, more than $30,000 in donations had been pledged to the project, with various businesses and professionals putting in their efforts.

The earth moves, 2011 With enough money in hand, ground broke again in the summer of 2011. Construction ramped up this fall, and the new memorial should be almost fully complete in time for a grand dedication on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 2011.

DEDICATION FROM 1 According to Lake, in one meeting, Jack asked Neil to go on board ship with him, but Neil turned him down.

“I had been at sea for five months, and had train fare home,” Neil wrote in a message to Lake. “By the time I got home, he had been torpedoed the second time. I was lucky, and served a little over four years at sea, and survived by luck.”

Neil turned 90 this year and is now in a rest home in Sammamish.

“It’s just because he loved his brother,” his wife, Donna, explained the brick message. “It was a nice donation.”

Time is near Bricks like those of Neil and Jack Dubey have been sliding into place in the last few days at the Valley Veteran’s Memorial. The monument, which has cost $46,000 and taken about four years to fundraise and build, is nearing the moment of completion.

An official dedication is planned for 11:11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11. Congressman Dave Reichert, Washington’s ‘First Husband’ Mike Gregoire, State Rep. Jay Rodne and Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson have been invited to speak. Members of the Snoqualmie Tribe will also bless the occasion. All are invited.

A shy public speaker, Lake made the rounds at city councils recently, drumming up awareness and asking locals to attend the dedication.

“I appreciate all the sacrifices that our veterans have made,” she said. “I’m just so honored that I get to be part of helping honor them.”

Built beside the American Legion’s Renton-Pickering Post at 38625 S.E. River St., Snoqualmie, the project includes a legacy tree, lighted flagpoles, standing stones, a brick plaza, and, eventually, a carved memorial stone capped by a replica of Mount Si. Through its very stones, the project is meant to connect Valley communities and their legacy of service.

Stones from lost towns

Legacy tree The newly planted Legacy Tree at the Snoqualmie Valley Veterans’ Memorial is special. It’s a Bloodgood sycamore, a cross between North American and Asian sycamores that is resistant to disease and to smog and other urban pollutants.

The Veterans’ Memorial Legacy Tree is not the only memorial sycamore in the Snoqualmie Valley. Some time around 1925, sycamores were planted in front of each mill house in the Riverside neighborhood of the now vanished Weyerhaeuser mill town of Snoqualmie Falls— which lost at least seven young men in World War II. The houses are gone, but the sycamores live on as an officially designated living King County Landmark.

The tree was donated by Big Trees Supply of Snohomish.

Ten stones came from each Valley community—three from the vanished towns of Edgewick, Snoqualmie Falls and Cedar Falls. Those stones were donated by former residents or those familiar with the lost towns.

Eventually, there will be bricks identifying the standing stones. Right now, you have to guess.

“They’re all different shapes and sizes,” Lake said.

Representing Snoqualmie Falls, historian Dave Battey pulled one from his old farm.

One granite stone, the biggest, was donated by the Snoqualmie Tribe. The city of Snoqualmie’s stone once sat in the river. It appears to be a conglomerate of other stones, merged into one over time.

“It has cool green colors that shine when it’s wet,” Lake said.

The irregular stone pieces for the flagpole wall were blasted from beneath Snoqualmie Falls by Puget Sound Energy, and were a challenge to lay. The task of building them into a rock wall would normally be a pricey custom job, but Nolan Daley and other employees of J&S Masonry put in the same effort as a paying job.

“It’s part of the heritage,” mason Nolan Daley said. “It’s nice to do something for the community. We’re happy to be here.”

The memorial’s central monument isn’t ready yet. Carvers at Quiring Monuments have donated a smaller stone as a stand-in. That stone looks similar, but will lay flat on the site.

“It’s quite close, and quite neat,” Lake said.

Memorial boosters have raised about $43,000. Still needed is another $3,000. Lake says it’s needed sooner rather than later. The Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum has fronted the money to the project, to be paid back by the memorial committee.

“The museum is covering it until we get the money,” Lake said. “But it’s also my budget for the museum.”

The best way for people to support the project is through donations and buying memorial bricks. The $100 bricks can memorialize the name and deeds of a friend or family member; those honored don’t need to be Valley residents to be included. Any message, including a simple one of patriotism, is welcome.

Major donors to the project include Mr. K’s Construction, J&S Masonry, Kunesh Landscaping, A&H Septic Systems, Bob’s Electric, Quantum Consulting Engineers, Miller Hall Partnerships, Big Trees, The Nursery at Mount Si, Lee Nursery and Fred’s Flowers. Stone was donated by Puget Sound Energy. Mutual Materials gave a 50 percent discount on bricks. Quiring Monuments donated a second monument.

“It’s been nice to see everyone’s support of the project,” Lake said. “It’s a tough economic time right now.” t :PV DBO MFBSO NPSF BCPVU UIF NFNPSJBM QSPKFDU PS PSEFS B CSJDL BU http://www.snoqualmievalleymuseum.org/veterans.html.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m barely middle aged, but I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been old school. I prefer e-mails and phone calls to 140-character texts and Tweets, and booksâ&#x20AC;Ś as books.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no replacement for the smell and feel of newsprint and ink.

Consider me a late adopter. It took years for me to get on Facebook.

Friends, I reasoned, are the people you spend time with in person, face to face. Digital friends? We have a word for that: Strangers.

Yet eventually I bowed to the inevitable. Turns out I was wrong about Facebook, proven so by the folks I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought about in years who â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;friendedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; me. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some pretty deep conversations, all without a spoken word.

Today, I check in on Facebook every day or so, mostly out of a sensed need to SETH TRUSCOTT stay connected Valley Record Editor with a different realm of life. Daily routine at a newspaper will put you in contact with so many real people, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little need for rapport with digital ones.

Yet I catch my wife on her smart phone all the time, catching up with her Facebook friends. For her and so many others, of all ages, social media like Facebook offers a conduit to far-off loved ones. It keeps relationships alive and generates new friendships and connections.

The Valley Record has been on

Facebook for a little more than a year. In that time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched participation gradually increase on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;our page.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;myâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; page, for the simple reason that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mine.

Scroll down, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see posts from the new Snoqualmie Y, the local schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Music Coalition, city council candidates, local businesses, parents, clubs and readers. I love to see that interaction, and want to encourage it.

The great thing about all those posts is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re realâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;authentic people and organizations, sharing their real identities, taking part on the newspaperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s page, helping us get their information out to their neighbors. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precisely the role a paperâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not on paperâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is supposed to play.

Recently, the new-media thinkers in our newspaper company made a decision. Starting this month, the Valley Record and other Sound

Publishing papers are changing the way we allow commenting on our websites. We are shutting down the old Disqus commenting system and turning on a new Facebook-based comment system. Now, when you make a comment, you do so under your Facebook identity. If you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on Facebook, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment.

Of course, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be on Facebook but still have something to say, you can still send a letter to the editorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which ultimately goes up on our Web page.

The idea behind the change is to make commenting easier, encourage more of it and improve our site.

A side benefit is that anonymous comments are more or less impossible under a Facebook commenting system.

Have you ever checked out a major national news story, perhaps one on a tragic situation? Did you ever notice how some of the com-

ments can shock with their insensitivity, often by design? That is the downside of anonymous commenting. What some can say from the safety of the shadows.

From now on, just like on our letters page in print, commenters will need to stand behind their words online. This kind of accountability is worth making changes for.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had few problems with anonymous comments at the Record, and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment to the civil characterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and small sizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;of our communities. A switch to Facebook may inconvenience some folks who are already signed up through our older system.

But, ultimately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make for a more diverse, readable Record website.

Half a billion people are on Facebook today. There are a lot of conversations out there, just waiting to happen here. Find the Record on Facebook, and letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begin.

Who does Matt Larson represent? The citizens of Snoqualmie, or the for-profit businesses who want to annex and develop every inch of property in the Valley?

I am a strong believer in collaborative relationships and civility. I do not believe in making enemies and have always tried to deal with opponentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;both professionally and personallyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in a respectful manner. I must say, however, that I have never been as shocked by anything coming from the city as I was when I read that Mayor Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;rather than listening and responding thoughtfully to concerns expressed by concerned residents and business owners (who have been part of this community longer than he has) lambasted some of our most responsible citizens by calling them â&#x20AC;&#x153;unreasonableâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;unfairâ&#x20AC;? for speaking out against the annexation of the old mill site for the benefit of a rally driving school.

The private investors, said Matt, â&#x20AC;&#x153;...are getting whacked aroundâ&#x20AC;? by citizens who dare to speak out against an attempt at a rushed annexation process with no environmental review and with no benefit to Snoqualmie area residents.

I have seen Matt belittle and yell at citizens with whom he disagreed. I have seen him demonstrate that he has no understanding whatsoever of conflict-of-interest principles, when he testifies as a homeowner or gives a public statement taking a position on an issue.

This mill site annexation statement, however, beats all. He cannot hide his distain for citizens and responsible business owners like Wendy Thomas, owner of Carmichaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s True Value Hardware, who dare to disagree with his aggressive development plans for the city.

People have expressed thoughtful and well-researched concerns about environmental hazards, noise levels and increased flooding as well as concerns that annexation is not in the best financial interests of the city. For this time and effort and attempted contribution to the betterment of our city, they are chastised and called â&#x20AC;&#x153;unreasonableâ&#x20AC;? by an elected official whose job it is to represent them.

North Bend has six months to adopt a new contract for solid waste disposal. The city’s current contract, with Allied Waste, expires in May, and after two months of negotiations with Allied for an updated contract to include the city’s annexed areas, city staff have recommended soliciting bids from all interested contractors.

City Administrator Duncan Wilson told the North Bend City Council that the city had “a unique opportunity, to negotiate with our existing carrier,” for a new franchise contract, because Allied Waste was part-owner of Kent-Meridian Disposal. Kent-Meridian serves North Bend’s Maloney Grove, Stilson and Tanner annexations, with a contract that the council renewed through 2022 at its July 19 meeting.

Pursuing the possibility that Allied (www. disposal.com) might buy out the remainder of the Kent-Meridian contract as part of a new franchise agreement with North Bend, city staff began discussions with Allied about the future contract. Among the items discussed were a franchise-fee-based billing system, expanded yard-waste and recycling collection options for both residential and commercial customers, and reduced residential rates.

By the council’s Oct. 4 meeting, though, staffers recommended that the city publish a Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek bids from other solid waste contractors.

Wilson stressed that Allied and the city had both negotiated in good faith on a new contract, but ultimately, the city wanted to explore other offerings through the RFP process.

“We could not come to a point where the city felt we were at numbers that would keep us from going out for an RFP,” Wilson summarized.

During the discussion of the RFP, councilman David Cook suggested that the city strongly consider the service component of any proposal it receives.

“We’ve used the same service provider for at least 10 years,” he explained following the meeting. “I don’t want to just look at what the price is, I want to see how these companies treat their customers, too.”

Allied Waste is eligible to submit its own proposal in the process, and will most likely do so, said Allied General Manager Jeff Borgida, who attended the meeting.

“We don’t believe ourselves to be just a vendor, but a partner,” he told the council. “We believe we made a very compelling proposal… please understand our commitment to North Bend.”

Cleanscapes Government and Community Affairs Manager John Taylor also spoke to the council, saying his company (www.cleanscapes. com) would submit a proposal. He added that the RFP process would be advantageous to North Bend because “it brings the best thinking to bear from each of the contractors.”

On a personal note, he commended Borgida and his company, for assistance they provided to the family of a Cleanscapes worker who was killed, and said “You’re really lucky to have Jeff.”

North Bend published the notice of the RFP in the Valley Record on Oct. 26 and Nov. 2.

Contractors will have at least 60 days to respond.

The proposals will be reviewed by city council and staff on Tuesday, Jan. 3.

The RFP can be found on the city’s website, ci.north-bend.wa.us, under Proposals.

Effective Dec. 1, North Bend water customers will see a jump in their city bills.

The increase, approved by the North Bend City Council at its Nov. 1 meeting, is 19 percent, or about $6.33 more per month than the average residential customer had been paying, said city Finance Manager Stan Lewis.

The council voted unanimously in favor of the increase following the required public hearing. No residents spoke at the hearing.

Councilmen Jonathan Rosen and Chris Garcia both commented on the increase, which they called unfortunate. Rosen explained that the city had spent the last few years investing in updated water system infrastructure, and in obtaining water rights.

“A lot of those costs, we hoped and anticipated would be offset by growth, which has not occurred,” he said. “Therefore, unfortunately, some of those costs are going to have to be borne by the existing rate payers.”

Transferring the money from the city’s general fund was not an option, because the water fund is supposed to be self-funded. Also, Garcia said, “The general fund simply doesn’t have the money.”

Inflation contributed to the rate increase, too.

The council also approved a $383,000 loan from the city’s sewer fund to the water fund, so the water fund can continue paying down its construction bonds. The term of the loan is three years, with interest rates adjusted monthly.

Young musicians named to all-state band, choirs

SCHOOLS SNOQUALMIE VALLEY

WWW.VALLEYRECORD.COM

By Valley Record Staff

Outstanding seventh and eighth grade music students from across Washington have received top honors by being selected to participate in the annual Junior All-State bands, choirs and orchestra, sponsored by the Washington Music Educators’ Association.

Students from Twin Falls, Snoqualmie, and Chief Kanim Middle Schools will join more than 375 outstanding young musicians named to the Junior All-State Band, and 150 choral performers named to the All-State Youth Honor Chorus, in Yakima for a gala event on February 18, 2012.

Four eighth-grade students from Twin Falls Middle School have been selected: Will Crandell, percussion; Joey Petroske, clarinet; Emilie Reitz, flute; and Cole Van Gerpen, alto saxophone.

Five students from Snoqualmie Middle School were also selected: eighth graders Raine Myrvold, trombone-Baker Band; Allyson Conlon, soprano-Treble Choir; and sixth graders, all in Honor Chorus Trinity Wilson, soprano; Jessica Conlon, alto; and Alison Caswell, alto.

Chief Kanim Middle School is sending three musicians, too. They are Christopher Bauer, oboe-Baker Band; Sydney Huft, soprano– Treble Choir, and Alexis Torres, alto-Youth Honor Chorus.

The students will meet at the WMEA conference February 18, and rehearse together under the direction of outstanding music educators. They will present a final concert that afternoon.

Flossing champs Cherry Valley students learn to take care of teeth, encourage families

North Bend Elementary walkers bring in $10,000 North Bend Elementary School’s Walk-A-Thon was Thursday, October 6. Students walked at Torguson Field, behind the school, starting at 10:30 a.m. for the morning Kindergarten students, and 1:45 p.m. for the rest of the students.

Each class dressedin a theme they chose for the “spirit parade.” Parents and PTA members voted for the class with the most spirit, and the winner received a traveling trophy and bragging rights for the year.

After a few rousing cheers, the kids were off toward the marked tracks.

Students won prizes for every six laps they completed (three laps for Kindergartners) including a “spirit necklace” that they keep throughout the year, and can continue to earn charms for during school.

The walkathon raised more than $10,000, which will be used for classroom grants, academic enrichment, Artists in Residence, teacher grants, family nights, reading buddies, Watch D.O.G.S and other programs.

Fifth grade students, Andrea Pitts and Jenna Holt demonstrate flossing their teeth.

Opstad students walk ‘Monopoly’ The Opstad Elementary “Monopoly” walk-athon was Thursday, Sept. 29, under blue skies.

Students walked for two hours, some completing more than 60 laps. The theme of the day was Monopoly, chosen last May by students. Before school started, the hallways were transformed into a giant Monopoly board while dice and dollar signs hung from the ceiling. A giant jail was built. Classes competed to raise the most money, and the class that earned the most in each grade level got to throw a staff member of their choice into the jail during lunch.

King County Sheriff’s Deputy Paul Eng helped start the walkathon, with lights and sirens, and then the “arrest” of Principal John Jester. Students and staff could bail out anyone who was in jail, or pay to have someone else put in the jail. This portion of the event raised more than $500.

The overall fundraising goal was $65,000; so far, $50,000 has been pledged. All of the money raised goes back to the students at Opstad by way of the Science Toy Workshop, Pioneer Day, Interactive History, camps and many other enrichment programs.

Every year during the month of October, Cedarcrest High School health teacher, Peggy Filer, promotes a “Healthy Challenge” program, in which she encourages all Riverview staff, students, and families to set healthy goals and track their progress on the road to better health.

This year, one of the first groups to accept the challenge were fifth graders at Cherry Valley Elementary. In all, 85 students volunteered to participate and encouraged their families, as well. Their challenge was to floss their teeth every day from October 3 to 28.

Students kept track of their success on a daily graph and were thrilled with their accomplishments. They also did research

on flossing, and learned that it helps to prevent cavities and gum disease. All of the dental floss was donated by Dr. Sam Castillo of the Duvall Dental Center.

According to a survey done before the flossing challenge, an average of 23 participants flossed their teeth daily, or only 27 percent. During the challenge when the stats came in, an average of 65 students flossed their teeth each day, increasing the average to 76 percent.

After hearing the outcome of the “flossing challenge” from Cherry Valley, Filer said the results “make my heart sing!”

“It is wonderful that the students are starting this important habit while they are still so young,” she said. “People of all ages can change their behavior with planning and support. Watching kids realize they have a lot of control over their health is the best part of my job.”

On Friday, Oct. 20, North Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community and Economic Development Director, Gina Estep, received the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Community Choiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; award from Leadership Eastside at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual banquet. Estep is the awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural recipient, and was selected by a vote of her peers as a finalist out of 47 nominees.

Estep was recognized for her efforts promoting North Bend as a premier outdoor recreation destination in Western Washington. With North Bend emerging from a 10-year building moratorium and in the midst of the current recession, she worked to form a group of local citizens that became the branding and marketing team which created a new logo for the city, a tagline (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easy to Reachâ&#x20AC;ŚHard to Leaveâ&#x20AC;?), and led a marketing effort to re-energize the city, all accomplished with volunteer labor. The team created a Downtown Block Party that helped revitalize downtown businesses and bring entertainment to the streets, and created a North Bend Outdoor Film Challenge held in conjunction with the local showing of the Banff Film Festival.

The firm works with veterans to help them turn their oftentimes overlooked skills in leadership, as well as their technical skills, into marketable items on job applications and resumes. There is no fee until the veteran finds a job and has received a first paycheck. For details or inquiries on the service, Brewster can be contacted at casz@creativewordlab.com.

Sharon Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third grade class at Opstad Elementary School have been writing letters of thanks to soldiers serving their country in far-off places.

Piperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students write letters to their parents every week. As practice for writing friendly letters, she asked them to write to soldiers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were talking about Afghanistan and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, how they would feel

In class exercises this past month, the students added personal messages to care packages to be sent to soldiers overseas. In the letters, young writers shared their thoughts on what it means to serve their country.

All 10 Snoqualmie Valley public schools are partnering with the American Legion to collect items for care packages that will be sent directly to service men and women currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Collection boxes have been placed in school offices this month to receive donations. Suggested items include non-perishable snack items, personal care products, cards, letters, student artwork, magazines, puzzle books, batteries, socks, gloves, etc. Also, candy, crayons, coloring books, pencils and notepads that soldiers can hand out to local children in villages are also appreciated, as well as cash donations to help the American Legion cover shipping costs. Donations are welcome at every school office leading up to November 11.

This year, the American Legion Auxiliary has adopted a company of 30 Marine Reserves deployed from Joint Base Lewis/McChord and they are also supporting other units with members from local communities, including a few Mount Si High School graduates. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donations provided 60 care packages to Marines, soldiers and airmenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;including two Mount Si graduates, Spc. Cory Smith and 1st Airman Orion Orellana, according to Suzy Cassidy, American Legion Auxiliary Unit 79 vice president and local parent.

Each year, firefighters with Eastside Fire & Rescue get ready for the adverse weather conditions we always experience in the Pacific Northwest.

Crews inspect fire stations inside and out, protecting against frozen pipes, checking inventory supplies used for sidewalks and driveways during periods of snow and ice, and inspecting apparatus tire chains in preparation for possible snowstorms.

Like emergency service personnel, the public needs to also prepare their homes

YOUR FUEL HEADQUARTERS

and families in advance of any winter storm by following a few tips:

Be prepared Before cold weather hits, make sure you have a way to heat your home safely during a power outage. Keep a multi-purpose, dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby when using alternative heating sources.

Keep extra blankets on hand with batteries, matches, a first aid kit, manual can opener and special needs items (e.g., diapers).

Stock a few daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; supply of water, required medications, and food that does not need

to be refrigerated or cooked.

Dress in several layers to maintain body heat. If possible, stay indoors. Winter storms can bring down power lines and trees, as we experienced last winter season in our area.

Remember, exposure to cold can cause injury or serious illness such as frostbite or hypothermia. Seniors, children or adults with medical issues can be more vulnerable to these conditions.

Be sure to prepare your car for winter. Cold weather can be tough on batteries.

Make sure your car is equipped with tires that are able to handle tough winter

weather. For most motorists, all-season tires are adequate.

When driving Make sure windshield wipers and defrosters are in good working order and that washer reservoirs are filled with no-freeze windshield washer fluid.

In temperatures at or just above 32 degrees, a thin layer of water can cover the ice, causing extremely slippery conditions. Beware of â&#x20AC;&#x153;black iceâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201C;ice that remains on the roadway that is not in direct sunlight. Use extra caution when driving on bridges; they freeze first because they are surrounded by cold air.

Clean, efficient, economical and environmentally safe.

Puget Sound studio celebrates Dance Day Dancers from around Puget Sound took part in the semi-annual Dance Day, held Sunday, Oct. 13, at Puget Sound Gymnastics and Dance in North Bend.

The event included a full day of dance classes including a variety of styles taught by the professional dancers of the AEON Dance Company of Seattle.

Participants ranged in age from 7 to adults, and were grouped by skill level. They represented area dance schools, which usually compete against each other in dance competitions, but joined together for this day to celebrate their shared passion for dance.

Puget Sound Gymnastics and Dance donated use of their dance space to AEON in support of the dance company.

Proceeds from the day are earmarked to fund AEONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skeletons,â&#x20AC;? to be performed at Velocity Dance Center on December

Jim Jones, a retired dentist, said he just â&#x20AC;&#x153;hung out,â&#x20AC;? for his photo shoot. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too worried that his 13- and 15 year-old daughters would disapprove of the calendar, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they saw the picture that Robin had chosen for the calendar, they said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had anyone scream at me like that before, so it was a little unnerving,â&#x20AC;? Doran admitted.

Jones and Richter, also in awe of the audience reaction, lapped it all up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you see those ladies in front?â&#x20AC;? Richter asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These older ladies about 75 to 80, they just started screaming, and clapping. I guess they thought they had a chance with me.â&#x20AC;?

Sorry ladies, Mr. December has been happily married to his best friend, Peggy, for 42 years.

A few of the other Tractor Men are available, though, and Richter is the first to announce they are all calendar material. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was 11 beautiful guys and one ugly guy, and the ugly guy was me!â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

Several of the men were photographed at his farm, with his old tractors, and Richter thoroughly enjoyed finding monthappropriate settings for each of his subjects.

Woelz and Beerbower shot all of the photos in about a sixweek window in September and October, setting all of the scenes on Valley farms. It was an ambitious schedule, but Woelz must have shared a little of Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;why not?â&#x20AC;? philosophy.

Like he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge life-changing thing, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just having fun with it.â&#x20AC;?

The 2012 Snoqualmie Valley Tractor Men calendar is available for sale at Duvall Drug and Rockinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; E Feed in Duvall, and Sliders CafĂŠ, Carnation Market IGA, and Carnation Laundry in Carnation. Woelz is lining up sales points in Fall City, Snoqualmie and North Bend, too.

competition at the SeaKing finals at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Two Valley women training to represent Team USA in world triathlon championships

BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter

Thursdays at lunch, Gina Estep has miles to go, and things need to run on a stopwatch-precise schedule for her to get where

she wants to be. In a little less than a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time, she not only wants to be in New Zealand, representing the United States with her friend and workout partner, Stephanie Haner, in the world triathlon championships, but she also wants to be at the top of her game when she gets there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I personally want to be in the top 10, but I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be really challenging,â&#x20AC;? said Estep, the Community and Economic Development Director for the city of North Bend. So, she has adopted an ambitious workout schedule for six days of the week, running, cycling and swimming for about two hours each day.

Haner, a Carnation resident, is also involved in a rigorous workout schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m putting in 15 hours of training a weekâ&#x20AC;Ś. for now, this is considered the off-season, so I will focus on swimming,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Swimming, Haner says, is probably her biggest weakness. Estep thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hers, too, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough of a detriment to keep either woman from qualifying at nationals in August.

The Snoqualmie Ridge Turkey Trot is Saturday, Nov, 12, starting at the Cascade View Elementary School bell tower.

The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1k race begins at 9 a.m., the 5K run starts 15 minutes later. A pancake feed follows at 9:30 a.m.

Organizer Sean Sundwall expects about 900 runners.

Now in its fifth year, the race benefits the Parent-TeacherStudent associations of all Valley elementary schools. All childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runners receive a medal. Walkers and strollers are welcome, but no dogs.

Meanwhile, Haner got over a huge fear of swimming, actually took swimming lessons, and within a few races, she had a new sport.

From the sprint, she tried a half Ironman.

Then, because she had friends doing the Ironman raceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a 2.4 mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and full 26.2-mile marathonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;

she tried it, twice. She got severely ill and realized â&#x20AC;&#x153;My body was rejecting the distance.â&#x20AC;?

Basketball, not triathlons, brought the friends together. They met through a mutual friend and athlete, and started coaching a girls select basketball team together. Soon, they began training together and coaching each other.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll push me on the bike, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll push her on the runâ&#x20AC;? Estep said, adding â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely like to train with people. I organize my training workouts around people who are available,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The world triathlon championships are set for October, 2012, in Auckland. Neither woman is sure how much the trip

will cost them, but they are sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going, and they hope to develop a sponsorship program that would, in addition to supporting their competitive efforts abroad, offer assistance to young female athletes here at home.

Estep took sixth place in her age bracket in the sprint division at the event in Burlington, Vt., and Haner took 19th in her age bracket in the Olympic division. She claimed the spot at world competition when another competitor in the top 18, who are automatically qualified to go, withdrew from the world event.

A sprint triathlon, Estepâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, includes a one-mile swim, 25 miles of cycling, and a 10-mile run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely in Zone 4, redlining the whole time,â&#x20AC;? Estep said, but she prefers the punishing pace â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she tries to maintain a 7:15-minute mile running pace, and 20 mph on the bike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a couple of reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sprint race I like because you definitely have to train hard for it, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only training for an event thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an hour and 15, or an hour and 25 minutes,â&#x20AC;? she said. Plus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows me to put the right amount of training time in, and still allows me to work!â&#x20AC;?

Haner runs the Olympic event, at twice the distances of the sprint, but she has competed at every distance, and at the national and world levels in the past,

representing Team USA in the 2010 world championships in Budapest.

Her first triathlon was a sprint, done in 2005 on a dare from her husband. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;If you do a triathlon, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do a marathon,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and sure enough, he did.â&#x20AC;?

Haner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He did the Portland Marathon, and he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done another one since.â&#x20AC;?

Friend, follow â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;City of Snoqualmieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Facebook The city of Snoqualmie is now on Facebook.

City officials started up the page this fall as an outreach for Snoqualmie happenings and information.

Postings include notes on city-related business, special events, classes and workshops, public meetings and hearings, city services and emergency notifications.

Those who would like to become a fan of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page can find it at www.facebook.com/cityofsnoqualmie.

Upon the first visit, individuals will need to read and accept the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social media policy.

Those who are not Facebook enthusiasts can sign up for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s e-mail news list by writing to info@ci.snoqualmie. wa.us.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page is a limited public forum. Citizens are encouraged to use it to ask questions and share thoughts as they relate to the posted topics. However, it is not intended as a forum for debate or a venue for promotion of commercial services or products. More information is posted on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page.

Tolt students, parents invited to online safety talk On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the sixth and eighth graders at Tolt will attend an Internet safety assembly by Stephanie Thomas of the Seattle Police Department.

At times, the online world can be dangerous and misunderstood by students.

Technology can bring another layer of difficulty to the sometimes challenging task of raising teenagers. Schools across the country are frequently using district

resources to deal with the inappropriate use of technology-driven communications used by children and teens.

By providing safety information, the staff and administration at Tolt hope to help parents keep their children protected and informed of the possible dangers surrounding Internet use.

Parents are urged to get educated on how the Internet works and keep tabs on their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer use. According to www.k12.wa.us/SafetyCenter, parents need to: t Teach. Create a written Internet safety plan. Set rules for Internet use, e-mail, and texting. Include specific strategies for what to do about inappropriate communication.

Talk regularly with children about not disclosing personal information online. Draft a list of what not to share, including name, age, school, phone number, address. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share passwords. Middle school is a time of changing friendships; even BFFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Remind children that anything they write can be forwarded or printed to distribute. t Monitor. Keep the computer in a common area of the house. Consider filtering or monitoring software. Be aware of childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer use away from home. t Report. Save or print inappropriate messages and pictures. Contact parents of others who send your students inappropriate e-mails. Contact your Internet service provider and file a complaint if messages are received that you think violate the terms and conditions of your contract. Contact the police if your child receives violent threats, pornography, or is harassed.

SKETCH FROM 1

Burglar-proof your home

A resident of the the fourth home he broke into told police that the man left without incident when she threatened to call for help. She was able to describe him for the police artist who produced the sketch.

Detective Scott Garnet, with the King County Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, said that police investigators are circulating the sketch, but no one has yet come forward with information about the suspect yet.

There have been reports of a man matching the description in North Bend and Fall City.

Police are not sure if the man was working alone, or with a group. Anyone with information about this suspect or the burglaries should call Detective Christy Marsalisi at (206) 296-3883.

The three homes that were robbed appeared to have been thoroughly searched by thieves, who left a huge mess in each home. Items stolen included jewelry, car keys, clothing and electronics.

No one was injured.

Garnet said the burglaries have been very upsetting to the community.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so secluded, that there hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been much crime reported in the area.

These neighborhoods can be attractive targets for thieves, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because of that isolation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to see if something is happening,â&#x20AC;?

Garnet said. He urges community members to take precautions, such as installing home alarms and trimming back plants that are close to the house and could hide intruders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office highly recommends installing a burglar alarm as a crime preventive,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Many thieves will seek different targets if they see that a home has an alarm system, he said.

Other things to watch out for include unexpected activity in homes that are in foreclosure or for sale. Also, be cautious about people walking through neighborhoods claiming to be looking for work. t 5IF ,JOH $PVOUZ Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office offers detailed lists of tips to secure your home and property, available on its website at www.kingcounty.gov/safety/sheriff/ Safety/Home.aspx.

The King County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department offers the following information for securing your home.

Research shows that if it takes more than four or five minutes to break into a home, most burglars will go elsewhere. Many insurance companies provide discounts for devices that make a home safer, such as deadbolt locks, window grates, and an alarm, so be sure to check with your representative.

LETTERS FROM 12 With Veterans’ Day approaching this Friday, Nov. 11, Piper may ask her class to write more letters, or simply talk about what the day means.

The following are samples of her class’s letters to soldiers:

I always learn about you Dear Friend, Hi, my name is Caroline. Thank you for fighting for us.

Our school is sending you cards and blankets and other things you might need. What is it like where you are? I have a hilarious dog that runs in circles! Where are you from? My whole class is writing to you and your friends in Afganistan.

I am writing to you from North Bend, Washington at Opstad Elementary in Mrs. Piper’s class in Room 13. What do you eat? Where do you sleep? What is your name? I always think about what you do and how you help us. What do you do if someone gets sick? Do you celebrate birthdays?

Again, thank you so much! What do you do for light? I have three brothers and two dads. Are any of your brothers or sisters in the army? Is it smoky or cold where you are? Do you have maps? I always read and learn more about you. If I could, I would come visit you. What is your favorite color?

My favorite color is blue.

Do you receive many letters?

Be safe, Caroline

Love is the ultimate power Dear Friend, Thank you for fighting for us. I know you can do it! A sacrifice isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s something to be proud of. I am Sydney Check. I’m in 3rd grade. I’m writing to you from North Bend. What is it like where you are?

I don’t like wars. It only causes destruction. Thank you for doing this. What you are doing is giving people hope. You are protecting the ones you love. Don’t be nervous because you can do it! Love is the ultimate power. What food do you eat? I hope it’s good because you need it! I want to tell you this, I’m very proud of you guys. Be kind and caring and don’t give up hope! Now, good luck and be safe.

Sincerely, Sydney

Do you drive a Stryker?

Dear Friend, Do you drive a Stryker? My name is Kyle. What do you do? Do you do search and rescue? Sorry if you lost one of your friends. Do you like your food? Do you like Legos?

How old are you? Is Afghanistan humid or not? Thank you for our safety. Try to stay safe.

Your Friend, Kyle

Stay safe Dear Friend, I hope you don’t get hurt. Be safe. My favorite thing to do is play football. What is your favorite thing to do? What is your favorite TV show? I bet when you come back your family is going to say, “yeah!” Thank you for helping the United States of America stay safe.

Your Friend, Dawson

Saving the world Dear Friend, We are from North Bend, Washington. Good luck and be safe. What is your favorite color? Are you OK in Afghanistan? What is it like where you are? We are from Opstad Elementary. What food do you eat? Thank you for saving the world from the bad guys. I am 8 years old. How old are you? Do you have a pet? I really appreciate you saving us. Do you have books? Do you have a library? What I like to do is to ride my skateboard, scooter and bike. Do you have anything you like to ride? Good luck on your trip of fighting in the military.

Good Luck.

While many families are busy with holiday activities, a group of local volunteers is focused on filling empty shoeboxes with school supplies, toys, hygiene items and notes of encouragement for needy children overseas.

Snoqualmie Valley families are participating in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest Christmas project of its kind, Operation Christmas Child, an effort that has hand-delivered 86 million gifts to children worldwide since 1993.

This year-round project of Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse is coming to its peak, as local businesses, churches and schools prepare to collect gift-filled shoeboxes during National Collection Week, Nov. 14 to 21.

Participants can drop off their shoebox gifts at Cascade Covenant Church, which is bustling with activity to help kids in 100 countries know they are loved and not forgotten.

Boxes will be collected 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and 8 to 9 a.m. on Monday mornings at Cascade Covenant Church, 13225 436th

Ave. S.E., North Bend.

To register gifts, read step-by-step shoebox packing instruction and learn about the destination country, use the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Follow Your Boxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; donation form found at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.

Volunteers can enlist families, churches, scout troops, community groups and businesses to take part in creating shoebox gifts for needy children worldwide. They can also fill shoeboxes with school supplies, toys, necessity items and a letter of encouragement.

People can also sign up to join Operation Christmas Child volunteers at the collection site in North Bend as part of the effort to prepare millions of gifts for delivery to underprivileged young people on six continents.

For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas Child, call (303) 745-9179 or visit www.samaritanspurse.org/ occ. National Collection Week for gift-filled shoeboxes is next week; however, shoebox gifts are collected all year at the Samaritanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Purse headquarters in Boone, N.C.

Low-cost medical services available in Carnation In these financially challenging times, basic medical care can take a backseat to other expenses, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to, because you can receive low-cost primary care services from the Bastyr Clinic, in partnership with the Sno-Valley Senior Center.

Bastyr University, the leading academic center in natural health sciences, offers general practice medical services for $8 per visit at its Carnation clinic.

The clinic is located in a portable building adjacent to the Carnation Bible Church at 32615 Northeast 45th St., (off Entwistle) in Carnation.

Call (425) 333-4152 for an appointment. The program is open to all ages. The clinic is open every Friday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. and is staffed by senior students supervised by a licensed naturopathic physician. They offer a wide array of primary care services and can refer patients to specialists if needed.

Among them were partners in the habitat restoration work at the Chinook Bend Natural Area near Carnation.

The project involved planting more than 18,000 native plants to restore the floodplain forest and enhance the wetland. Critical habitat was also restored for federally protected chinook salmon. In addition, reclaimed wastewater from the Carnation Treatment Plant is piped to Chinook Bend to enhance and increase the wetland habitat.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watching how the laws you live with every day are made is an amazing education. For students it can be a life-changing experience. Many of the people who go on to serve in public office get their first taste of policy work as a page. Plus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of fun making friends with other teens from all over the state.â&#x20AC;?

Each student serving as a Senate page is sponsored by a senator. They spend a week in Olympia as paid employees, working a regular business day, delivering messages, handing out documents on the floor, and running other errands. They also attend page school for two hours during the workday, where they learn important concepts about civics and government.

To apply, visit www.leg. wa.gov/senate/administration/ pageprogram/Pages/default. aspx. Students may download an application from the site, fill it out and send it to Pflugâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympia office: 415 Legislative Building, P.O. Box 40405, Olympia, WA 98504-0405.

Support group for divorce meets at church

WASTEWATER FROM 1 City officials have acknowledged the odor problem, and are in the middle of a plan to address it, but the occasional discharges of seemingly untreated water from the plant are more difficult to manage.

Residents like David Willson and Bryan Townley, who reported and photographed an apparent sewage discharge into the South Fork just before 6 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 16, say it looked and smelled like raw sewage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The dirty water, brown and foaming, was pouring out of the spillway, which is about 20 yards downstream from the bridge and on the right side of the river facing the downstream direction,â&#x20AC;? Willson wrote in an e-mail to the Record, describing what he saw that afternoon as he crossed the South Fork. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The left side of the river was crystal clear, stones on the river bed clearly visible.

On the right side, there were tufts of foam circulating in an eddy full of brown water with a strong offensive odor.â&#x20AC;?

Townley, a former treatment plant worker, said he saw a similar discharge of â&#x20AC;&#x153;subpar waterâ&#x20AC;? in September, and a third incident some time before then.

North Bend staff, however, are positive that all of the water discharged into the river is treated, and the weekly tests conducted on Monday, Oct. 16 showed all discharge water within acceptable ranges for two common pollutants from sewage.

Public Works Director Ron Garrow said the plant might have taken in â&#x20AC;&#x153;too much inflowâ&#x20AC;? during processing that weekend, which â&#x20AC;&#x153;could allow the stuff in the oxidation ditch to get through before it was all settledâ&#x20AC;Ś but it still gets disinfected.â&#x20AC;?

Wastewater travels through the treatment plant in channels, at a rate of 500,000 to 750,000 gallons daily. First it is filtered for non-degradable solids, such as toys that are accidentally flushed, and then it goes to the outdoor oxidation ditch, where natural processes break the materials down over days or weeks. From there, it is routed to a clarifier to allow any remaining solids to sink to the bottom of the channel, and disinfected with ultra-violet lights. The water is then discharged into the river, and the solids are collected and dried.

Clogged pipes could cause an overflow,

Beginning Thursday, Nov. 10, a support group for people who have suffered a loss due to divorce, separation or death will begin in Snoqualmie. Meetings will be held each Thursday evening from 7 to 9 p.m. at St. Clareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church, 8650 Railroad Ave. S.E. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning Experienceâ&#x20AC;? support group is a 35-year old international ministry that has been developed by respected professionals in grief psychology.

Solely for those who have found themselves divorced, separated or widowed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beginning Experienceâ&#x20AC;? offers help for the heartache of finding yourself alone again.

For details or questions, contact Sally Mehlhoff at (425) 591-1033.

Parks Commission cleans up EJ Roberts Courtesy Photo

North Bend resident Bryan Townley used his cell phone to snap a photo of brownish waer discharging from a North Bend pipe on Sunday, Oct. 16. City officials say the water had been disinfected, but hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had time for materials to settle out.

Garrow said, and that would spill raw sewage, but those incidents are rare. The last time it happened was the March 2008 spill that flooded the neighboring Youth Activity Center. In that incident, Garrow noted that all of the sewage spilled onto land, none into the river, and the city was not fined for it.

Odor from the treatment plant is a more common complaint. North Bend contracted with two agencies earlier this year to evaluate the problem, which appear to originate with the drying process of the collected solids, and suggest solutions. Phase 1 of the three-step plan was to replace the two air filters in the drying section of the plant, which will be done every two years.

The North Bend City Council approved the start of Phase 2 at its Nov. 1 meeting.

In this phase, equipment for managing the conveyance and drying of the solids will be expanded and upgraded, at an estimated cost of $68,349.

Garrow said these improvements will be evaluated for about a year before the city considers additional steps in Phase 3. Those would include a new enclosure for the drying area and a new ventilation system.

The North Bend City Council meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.

Members of the North Bend Parks Commission held a work party on October 8 to clean up E.J. Roberts Park through the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adopt-a-Park Program. Parks commission members collectively provided 12 hours of service during the day, weeding flower beds and clearing blackberries from the tennis courts and habitat restoration area on the east side of the park. They also held a work party earlier this year, painting benches, picnic tables, garbage can surrounds and play equipment. The park is looking really good, thanks to these volunteers.

The Adopt-a-Park Program is a perfect opportunity for individuals or community groups to engage in the community to beautify public parks and trails. If you have a Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop, youth group, service organization, or business looking for opportunities for community service, or just a good way to have some fun making a difference, consider adopting a park or trail through the North Bend Adopt-a-Park Program.

The Adopt-a-Park Program information and application packet is available on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at http://northbendwa.gov, under Forms/Applications. For more information, contact Senior Planner Mike McCarty at (425) 888-7649 or at mmccarty@northbendwa.gov.

The city of Snoqualmie is working jointly with a group of University of Washington students to learn more about current energy use and practices in downtown Snoqualmie homes and businesses.

The students and city planning department staff consulted with Puget Sound Energy to learn more about energy efficiency, then developed a Home Energy Survey. The survey will inform homeowners of rebate programs they can use to save money and improve the energy efficiency of their homes, while also providing feedback about the use of rebate programs.

The Home Energy Survey is one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent efforts toward building an environmentally sustainable Snoqualmie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Homes lacking energy-efficient insulation, windows, and appliances use a lot of energy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like throwing money out the window,â&#x20AC;? said Nicole Sanders, Associate Planner at the City of Snoqualmie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were really pleased to have the University of Washington work with us on the survey. Using energy efficiently and saving money contributes positively to our community, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at the heart of sustainability.â&#x20AC;?

Residents and business owners can access the survey on the Snoqualmie website. Visit www.cityofsnoqualmie.org and click â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Energy Surveyâ&#x20AC;? in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Public Feedbackâ&#x20AC;? box.

Paper copies are available at City Hall, 38624 SE River Street in downtown Snoqualmie.

Residents who complete the survey by November 20 will be entered in a drawing to win one of three $25 gift certificates to a Snoqualmie business of their choice.

For more information, contact Nicole Sanders at nsanders@ci.snoqualmie.wa.us or call (425) 888-5337.

Cleanup help from Key Club, Kiwanis $PVSUFTZ QIPUP

Freezer space on food bank wishlist As the holidays approach, the Mount Si Helping Hand Food Bank in North Bend is looking at yet another need it will try to meet.

“Freezer space is always a challenge for us,” Food Bank Director Heidi Dukich recently told the North Bend City Council.

The need is especially during the holidays, when the food bank offers traditional items like turkeys to their clients. Dukich said the nonuniform shape of the turkeys can make them “quite dangerous when they’re all stacked up on top of each other in our freezer.”

The food bank is requesting a loan of freezer space from community members for two weeks in November.

Anyone with freezer space available to loan can contact the food bank at (425) 8880096, or by visiting the food bank’s website at www.mtsifoodbank.org.

The North Bend food bank serves approximately 1,300 people every week, including 300 children and 140 senior citizens. Dukich said the food bank also has been averaging about 10 new families signing up for help each week.
