North Bend landmark to close its doors By Dylan Chaffin dchaffin@snovalleystar.com After seven years of offering customers a mixture of food and jazz, Boxley’s, a North Bend landmark, will soon be closing its doors. The announcement came via a Facebook post addressed to friends from Danny Kolke,
the business’s founder. “It’s been an incredible experience,” he wrote. “However, it has not been a profitable one.” But, as all great artists know, the show must go on. “Personally, I’m a jazz musician, not a restaurateur,” Kolke wrote. “As an organization, jazz is our passion. By not operating the restaurant, we believe we can focus on our passion for music programming and improve what we do best.” The programming he

The Duvall Fire District now has safeguards in place against hackers after it was victimized in a phishing scam in January. Though no essential files such as payroll or other financial information were hacked, other documents, such as technology files and day-today operations, which the fire district is required by law to have, were breached in the scam, Chief David Burke said. The city of Snoqualmie, which offers information technology services to the district, paid a $750 ransom using bitcoin, a digital currency, to receive a decryption key that would allow the district to begin retrieving the files on Jan. 22. The email which contained the CryptoLocker virus looked like an invoice from the fire district’s dispatch center, and was forwarded from Burke to administrative staff, where an employee opened it and was asked to follow a series of instructions designed to disable the security measures in place, said Snoqualmie Information Technology Director P.J. Rodriguez. The scam can encrypt hundreds of thousands of files in See RANSOM, Page 3

WSDOT releases road-closure schedule for construction Construction season is beginning, and the state Department of Transportation has provided a list of projects and closures that drivers can expect as they travel east of Snoqualmie Pass from now through mid-June. The worst delays will be around the Cle Elum area as crews work on bridges, add lanes and restore damaged roads. Starting April 11, driv-
ers will experience delays in both directions just east of the Snoqualmie Summit between mileposts 56 to 61. The bridge over Interstate 90 at the Stampede Pass interchange (exit 62) will be closed to traffic until June 1. Crews will begin work on widening lanes from Hyak to Keechelus Dam and from the dam to
the Stampede Pass interchange. Drivers can expect nighttime, single-lane closures in the area. Westbound drivers will experience delays near Cle Elum between mileposts 84 to 87. The westbound off-ramp at the Oakes Avenue interchange at exit 84 will be closed during the week, but drivers can access the Cle Elum area using
the Peoh Road interchange at exit 85. The interchange will be closed fully from mid-May to mid-June. Drivers will also see delays due to shoulder closures from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. between mileposts 88 and 93 through April 13. On April 16 and 17, drivers needing to access the Cle Elum area via exit 84 will need to stay
Mountaineers sell Snoqualmie Pass site, with likely benefit to Pacific Crest Trail 77-acre parcel was former home to club’s historic Snoqualmie Lodge By Brian J. Cantwell Seattle Times outdoors editor The Seattle-based Mountaineers club has sold its historic, 77-acre Snoqualmie Pass property to become part of the neighboring Summit at Snoqualmie ski complex, the club announced March 29. The deal will likely allow for an improved
routing of the Pacific Crest Trail, which crosses the ski area. The property, located off Exit 53 of Interstate 90, was formerly the site of the rustic, three-story Snoqualmie Lodge. The 11,000-member outdoor-recreation and conservation group used the lodge as a base camp, outdoor-training facility and program center for more than 50 years until fire destroyed it in 2006. The property has remained vacant ever since, monitored by a full-time caretaker and
used for occasional events such as an annual Winter Trails Day, when the public could try out new snowshoe gear. “Monitoring a vacant lot is not the best use of our money or energy, and continued ownership does not help us maximize the property’s potential or further our mission,” Martinique Grigg, then executive director of The Mountaineers, explained in January 2015 when the club decided to seek a sale. Boyne Properties,
which manages the ski area, is the buyer. The sale price was not disclosed. The agreement allows the ski resort to connect Summit West and Summit Central ski areas, which straddle the site, while also allowing for a potential easement for the Pacific Crest Trail, part of the National Scenic Trail system. A U.S. Forest Service review in 2013 concluded that The Mountaineers property would be the best location for the trail as it

in the far right lane. With rock blast closures set to begin in May, drivers should be prepared for hourlong closures Mondays through Thursdays, starting an hour before sunset. In June, crews will begin repaving eastbound lanes between mileposts 67 and 70 and westbound lanes between mileposts 62
and 64. They’ll also repave both eastbound and westbound lanes near Ellensburg, between mileposts 106 and 122. Drives can expect single-lane road closures through those construction areas. For more information, follow the WSDOT on Twitter through handles @WSDOT_East or @ snoqualmiepass.
approaches Snoqualmie Pass from the south. The trail currently follows the ridgeline through Summit West, crossing under multiple chairlifts before crossing I-90. A reroute through the Snoqualmie Lodge property would bring hikers down through a more forested environment, better segregate snowshoers and skiers, and provide a safer path for hikers to cross highways, the review concluded. “This sale agreement has the potential to preserve the best route for the Pacific Crest Trail by relocating it through undeveloped property, which would greatly improve the quality and safety of the trail experience,” Liz Bergeron, executive director and CEO of the Pacific Crest Trail Association, said in a written announcement
of the sale. She said work remains on an agreement between concerned parties, though both The Mountaineers and the ski area have agreed to work together to finalize the location of a trail corridor meeting the standards of a National Scenic Trail. The Mountaineers established an earlier lodge at Snoqualmie Pass in 1915, which club president Geoff Lawrence said made its members among the first skiers at the pass. Today, more than 500,000 skiers visit Snoqualmie Pass each year, and the Snow Lake Trailhead at Alpental is among the most heavily used Forest Service trailheads in the Cascades.

Ransom From Page 1 a matter of a few minutes, Rodriguez said. After encrypting the files, the malware prompts the user with a standard warning: “Your important files (including those on the network disk(s), USB, etc): photos, videos, documents, etc., were encrypted with CryptoLocker virus. The only way to get your files back is to buy our decryption software. Otherwise, your files will be lost.” The warning also comes with a deadline to pay, or the amount can be doubled drastically, Rodriguez said, citing a case where a Los Angeles hospital waited to take action until it paid a ransom of $17.000. The typical ransom for these attacks is $700, he said. But the only way to pay the ransom is through bitcoin transfers, from one user to another, in what is
called a “bitcoin wallet.” A wallet is like a bank account, he said. Because the City of Snoqualmie didn’t want the account to be tied to a single person, it opened its own “wallet” and was able to transfer the ransom. Rodriguez said he doesn’t believe the city was specifically targeted for the attack, but noted the process for recovering lost files can cost time and money for employees. At the time, the fire district believed it had an operating backup system in place since last July, Burke said, but the system hadn’t actually been turned on. “It had fallen off the plate, and nobody noticed, and we weren’t protected,” Burke said. Fully recovered, the district is running weekly diagnostic tests on the backup system to ensure that the breaches won’t happen again. They’re also training employees in internet safety.

Tribe, city need to find common ground I still remember the first time I saw the painting “American Progress.” If it doesn’t ring a bell, it’s a 19th century portrait of an angel, guiding explorers through the rolling hills of the west as they slash away at Native Americans. It’s a piece that inherently romanticizes colonization, and as history likes to remind us over and over again, what injustices are suffered in the name of development. Native tribes have long been forced to take what the government gives them. From the hundreds of broken treaties that resulted
in massive land grabs, to the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii over a century ago, social Dylan movements Chaffin are still fighting tooth and nail to regain some semblance of authority. And, while the U.S. may have apologized, not much has changed in the way of giving indigenous people back their power, or their voice. That’s why it’s vital for local governments to start listening to their native
neighbors. The Snoqualmie Tribe has every right to fight against development in their veritable Garden of Eden. And they should. For every move the City of Snoqualmie makes on development near Snoqualmie Falls, you can guarantee that the tribe will be there. And that shouldn’t come as a surprise to city officials, who have also played a cat and mouse game with the tribe’s utility and emergency services at the expense of thousands of Snoqualmie Casino employees. But the game is not
one-sided. It’s a series of large miscommunications between the two parties, where the winner is the one who pounds their fists the loudest. As of now, the tribe is losing. The absence of tribal officials at any of the city council meetings where big development is on the agenda, such as the Tokul Roundabout, speaks volumes, and not in a productive way. The time to find common ground is far overdue, but with the next big development project being the Riverwalk expansion, that might be a good place to start.

Their allure is often so overpowering that once I set my mind to having one, very little will deter me in my quest to make one. In my mind, they are quite simply the most perfect form of comfort food. After a few months of restricting my sugar and white flour intake, in an effort to make healthier choices, I can honestly say I’ve missed savory pies more than the sweet variety. There is just something so appealing, so homey, so satisfying about a savory pie. Chicken pot pie, quiche, beef and onion pies, pasties, sausage rolls, calzones — the list is endless and I love them all. This recipe, a national treasure in New Zealand,

Baseball Mount Si 4, Woodinville 2 The Wildcats forged a three-way tie atop the KingCo 4A standings, shutting out the visiting Falcons until the seventh inning. Owen Roche led Mount Si’s offense with a 2 for 3 effort that included a double and two RBI. Gavin Gorrell and Mason Marenco also drove in runs to support pitcher Colin Anderson, who got the win by pitching 5 2/3 innings and striking out seven.

Mount Si junior pitcher Gavin Gorrell hits an RBI single to score Matt Dolewski during the fifth inning of the Wildcats’ April 11 baseball game against Skyline. Gorrell threw a two-hitter and was 2-for-4 at the plate with 2 RBI’s in the 9-0 victory.
Wildcats beat Spartans to stay in first Mount Si scores seven in the sixth for a 9-0 rout of Skyline By Neil Pierson npierson@snovalleystar.com Skyline pitcher Jack Simpson was breezing through the Mount Si lineup, giving up no hits through the first four innings of an April 11 baseball game in Sammamish. But the Wildcats gave Simpson fits after that — including a huge sixth inning where they sent 11 men to the plate and scored seven times — and rolled to a 9-0 victory over the Spartans in a Class 4A KingCo Conference contest. The win put Mount Si (10-2 overall, 6-2 KingCo) a half-game ahead of Woodinville for first place at the

3-17 mark. “Last year, I don’t really know what happened,” said junior Gavin Gorrell, who pitched a two-hit shutout and went 2 for 4 with two RBI.
“We’re just coming out with a little chip on our shoulder this year, and we just want to keep rolling and see where it takes us.” “It was rough last year,” Mount Si coach
Zach Habben acknowledged, “but this year the guys have really bought into what we’re doing as a program … We’ve got great leadership See ROUT, Page 11
Baseball Bothell 2, Mount Si 1 The host Cougars broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the seventh when Mount Si’s Nick Solomon uncorked a wild pitch, letting the winning run in from third. Jimmy Boyce went 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI for the Wildcats. He also went 6 2/3 innings on the mound, allowing four hits with five strikeouts. But Bothell’s Quinn Gleed was also good, allowing six hits with seven strikeouts. Boys soccer Mount Si 4, Juanita 2 Trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Wildcats found their scoring punch and earned a nonleague win over the visiting Rebels. Mount Si tied the score early in the second half as Drew Harris assisted on a Matt DiLoreto goal, then went ahead when Oliver Ericksen found Reed Paradissis. Reid Howland’s header off a Harris corner kick gave the Wildcats a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes to play, but after Juanita narrowed the lead with two minutes, Henry Mitchell provided the insurance tally. Mount Si (7-2-1 overall, 3-1-1 KingCo 4A) hosts Meadowdale in nonleague action at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Rout From Page 10 and it’s a great group of guys, so it has been a lot of fun to be around the guys and I’m looking forward to the second half of the season.” Skyline (7-4, 5-3) and Mount Si entered the game as part of a threeway tie atop the KingCo standings, and there was nothing separating them after four innings as Gorrell worked out of two jams. The Spartans loaded the bases in the third on a double and two walks, but Gorrell coaxed Tommy Swinscoe into a pop-up and struck out Alejandro Graterol. In the fourth, Dax Kringle reached second base with two outs before Gorrell got Riley Gill to ground out. Gorrell walked five in the first three innings but settled down to pitch a gem. He retired the last 10 batters he faced.

Mount Si junior Matt Dolewski beats the throw to Skyline first baseman Daniel Qin after laying down a perfect bunt with two outs during the fifth inning against Skyline. “I really did not have my stuff today,” he said. “My command was off. Every pitch, I just wasn’t really comfortable. I settled down in the fourth inning and just started trying to pound the zone and let my defense work behind
me. It worked out good because my defense picked me up everywhere.” Habben didn’t need to say anything to change his pitcher’s mentality. “He’s going to go out and compete no matter
what – if he has his best stuff or his worst stuff,” the coach said. Offensively, the Wildcats felt like they were putting good swings on the ball but didn’t get rewarded until the fifth. Matt Dolewski beat
out an infield hit and that was the start of a two-out surge as Mason Marenco, Gorrell and Jimmy Boyce followed with singles for a 2-0 lead. In the sixth, the dam burst wide open as the Wildcats plated seven
runs on six hits and two errors. Marenco, who finished 3 for 5 with two runs scored, and Owen Roche, who was 3 for 4 with two RBI, helped knock Simpson from the game. “We’ve had a lot of late-inning rallies,” Gorrell said, “and it’s just great to see because everyone’s momentum is just going, and it’s just fun.” The Wildcats continue KingCo play when Newport visits Snoqualmie at 4 p.m. April 15. They’re scheduled to play Redmond, Inglemoor and Issaquah next week. Habben knows his team has to bring its best if it hopes to win the regular-season crown and compete for the conference’s one automatic berth to the state playoffs. “Everybody is good – there is no easy game,” Habben said. “Top to bottom, KingCo 4A is a tough league, so you’ve got to come to play every day.”
