Joe the Buyer (not his real name) struck out at six different North Bend stores recently when he tried to buy beer. Clerks quietly, sometimes apologetically, turned the 18-year-old away at groceries, convenience stores and gas stations time and again. The enforcement officers working with him on the sting began to have high hopes for the rest of the night. “If we get no buys tonight, that would be wonderful,” said Liquor Control Board officer Troy McCallister. He’s in street clothes, as is King County Sheriff ’s Deputy Amy Jarboe, for the undercover operation, backed up by North Bend Police Chief Sgt. Mark Toner, in uniform. See STING, 19
Hours after her first hike to the top of Mount Si, Marina Druse was back on the mountain again. She and good friend Jake Thompson started out at around 4:30 a.m. July 14, headed again for Haystack Rock, where they’d watched the sun set the previous evening. With them this time was another friend, Adam Thalhofer, but the trio was not on a pleasure hike this time. They were on a rescue mission, to save a man’s life. North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing recounted the details of their efforts last month when he presented the three young adults with Life Saving Awards at the Tuesday, Aug. 6 meeting of the North Bend City Council.

Rapper Macklemore was spotted in Carnation early last Wednesday Aug. 14, filming a music video according to media posts on the Twittersphere. Posts about the musician’s appearance in the city began appearing around 11:45 a.m., accompanied by photos of him and a film crew set up in the Miller’s Store parking lot off Bird Street. He appeared in a black leather jacket, against the flag-draped brick wall of a building. In one shot, he was standing on an equipment case, holding a box of pastries. By 2:30 p.m., according to another post, he was gone.
