Fireworks rule bans aerials BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com
This Fourth of July will be the first holiday with a ban on aerial fireworks in the City of Snoqualmie. It will also be the first year with a professional community fireworks display. The Snoqualmie City Council unanimously voted to ban aerial fireworks within the city limits in February 2015. The ban came after a large house fire on Fourth of July 2014 that was determined to be caused by an aerial firework. Per state law, the ban could not take effect until this year. While the city has banned individuals from shooting fireworks, it has permitted a professional fireworks display and community event at Snoqualmie Community Park called “Red, White and Boom.” The free event will feature food vendors, music, bounce houses and other entertainment starting at 7 p.m., said Jeff Mihal, an organizer of the event. Around 9:45 p.m., or when it’s dark SEE FIREWORKS, PAGE 5

A tale of two cities’ growth rate BY STUART MILLER
smiller@snovalleystar.com
The cities of Snoqualmie and North Bend are at odds with the Puget Sound Regional Council’s prescribed growth rate, and it’s causing some growing pains.
The PSRC is a body that regulates four counties in the Puget Sound area, including King County. The regional council adopted a growing plan, called Vision 2040, for the region in 2008 to try to plan for and responsibly manage the fast-growing Puget
Sound area. In Vision 2040, it slated small cities, including Snoqualmie and North Bend, to take 5 percent of the growth in the next 20 years, with larger cities like Seattle and Bellevue taking 73 percent, according to a recent Seattle Times report.
From 2009 to 2015, Snoqualmie grew from 8,692 people to an estimated 13,169, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. That is a 51.5 percent population growth, an average of 8.6 percent per SEE GROWTH, PAGE 3
Safeway, Bartell Drugs coming to Snoqualmie Ridge
Safeway and Bartell Drugs are coming to Snoqualmie Ridge’s new shopping center in 2017. The stores are expected to open in mid-summer as the primary tenants in Ridge Plaza, the center at Douglas Avenue and Snoqualmie Parkway. “The addition of a 43,000-square-foot grocery store, food establishments, and 14,000-square-foot drug store will further serve Snoqualmie’s growing popu-
lation, which is now over 13,000,” Mayor Matt Larson said in a news release. “Not only will these new businesses help meet the needs of our residents, but the boost in sales tax will help support and protect our local City services.” The Safeway store’s exterior, designed by Fuller Sears architects, will reflect the aesthetic theme of Snoqualmie Ridge. The store interior will boast wall-to-wall specialty
departments, including a Starbucks with a light-filled seating area and an indoor/ outdoor fireplace, full-service deli with a fresh sushi bar, expanded wine department with premier selections, and full service meat, bakery and floral departments. Safeway will also be including its top-tier produce department, abundant with organic and local fruits and vegetables. The store will also
include a six-pump fuel station. The new store will employ 125-150 people, and will be seeking applicants for full-time and part-time positions two months before it opens its doors. Bartell Drugs’ new store will feature a selection of thousands of popular health, beauty and lifestyle products, and a convenient drive-through pharmacy window. It will also continue Bartell’s commit-
ment of offering locally-made SEE NEW STORES, PAGE 3

Snoqualmie man brings Democracy Live to UN BY STUART MILLER
smiller@snovalleystar.com
Bryan Finney, president of Snoqualmiebased Democracy Live, presented his company’s voting technologies at the United Nations on June 16. The UN invited Democracy Live to speak specifically about how its web-based voting systems could enfranchise disabled voters in relation to the UN’s Disability Treaty, which pushes for equal voting rights for disabled people. Democracy Live partnered with the University of Washington Center for Technology and Disability Studies to help blind and disabled voters access their ballots. Audio recordings and textured remote-control switches help blind and illiterate people vote independently. Democracy Live’s remote-voting technology can also help include those physically unable to make it to a polling center, whether it be from a disability or otherwise.

Democracy Live president Bryan Finney describes the combined tablet and paper ballot reader and paper trail storage box in the demonstration display at his company’s Snoqualmie Ridge office.
The Department of Defense currently uses Democracy Live’s technologies to serve military personnel all around the world. Those personnel serving out-of-country can access their respective ballots through the Microsoft Secure Cloud on any connected device and vote remotely. “A voter would get a link, and they can get on their mobile device or whatever environment they have around the world, and they’d be able to go through process and access their absentee
ballot,” Finney said. Democracy Live has reached military voters in 96 countries and on every continent, from researchers on Antarctica to submariners in the Pacific Ocean. The company is even hoping to connect a voter in Florida who’s supposed to be in outer space during the next election, Finney said. “These people are fighting, in theory, for our right to vote … and yet ironically, they are the ones that are often disenfranchised from voting,” Finney said.

“They are out there on the front lines in Kandahar, and on Election Day they’re on the battlefield and not able to access their ballot.” The remote voting technology has the potential to enfranchise voters in rural areas via Democracy Live’s Windows tablet voting. The tablets are cheaper and easier to transport than conventional voting machines. “You can bring it to Uganda, you can bring it to these emerging democracies and really expand how people are voting,” Finney said. “Because it’s audio, it can run almost any language in the world.” A number of countries’ UN representatives showed interest in bringing Democracy Live’s voting technology to their countries, Finney said. Paraguay requested a contract proposal. Finney believes that the future of voting lies in what he calls the “social ballot.” This social ballot, which is already functioning in some states at

endorsements to social media. The website recently went live for Colorado’s primary election. In the 2015 King County General Election, 2,265 ballots were returned from the 7,239 registered voters in Snoqualmie, a 31 percent voter turnout rate. North Bend had about a 41 percent voter turnout in the same election. King County’s average voter turnout in 2015 was 39 percent. Finney hopes his technology will bring more people into the voting process. He also hopes those people will vote based on information Democracy Live can provide them, instead of numbers of yard signs and 30-second sound bites. “With the new generation, the Facebook/ Twitter generation of voters growing up … if they’re able to vote in a more accessible way, a way that they’re used to, then you’re going to have a higher turnout,” Finney said, “and more people engaged in this little thing we like to call democracy.”

year. Snoqualmie Community Development Director Mark Hofman says the growth rate figures that the PSRC looked at are misleading. “It’s an anomaly,” Hofman said. “If there was unlimited land, it would be alarming.” However, Hofman says that the city of Snoqualmie has nearly completed all the growth they’ve planned on doing, so the population growth rate will be cut immensely in coming years. When Snoqualmie Ridge is at build-out, and if the proposed Salish expansion near Snoqualmie Falls is completed, the population will sit at about 15,600, Hofman said. Growth after that would consist of filling in business lots, the flood plain and downtown, he said.
FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2016 Paul Inghram, the program manager for the growth management planning team of the PSRC, said that Snoqualmie’s growth plan did not reflect a build-out situation as Hofman described. He referenced a potential annexation area that the city was looking at which would add more space to grow. Hofman said there is a process to expand city building limits, but it’s not likely that would happen in this generation. North Bend’s growth rate has been slightly less drastic than Snoqualmie’s. From 2009 to 2015, the city grew from 4,707 people to an estimated 6,679, according to census figures. That is a 41.9 percent population growth, an average of just under 7 percent per year. Both Snoqualmie and North Bend must check their growth rate in coming years to comply with Vision 2040’s

planned growth. If the small cities don’t revise their growth plans, the PSRC could take away their share of federal transportation funds. If Snoqualmie and North Bend lost federal transportation funds, the maintenance of roads in the growing cities would suffer, Hofman said. Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson believes the area’s growth rate has been mischaracterized. The five small cities the PSRC says are growing to fast “each have a very different set of variables and assets,” Larson said. “It’s not a one-sizefits-all” plan. Or at least it shouldn’t be, Larson said. The fact that Snoqualmie and North Bend sit next to a wide interstate freeway sets them apart from other small cities, Larson said. Inghram agreed that Snoqualmie and North Bend’s locations differentiate them from other small cities in King County. He suggested
that the cities bring the issue to the PSRC executive board to potentially change how the cities are treated in Vision 2040. They will be updating the plan in the next two to four years, he said. Larson also noted that through the Snoqualmie Preservation Initiative, some of the growth that did take place in Snoqualmie was the means by which thousands of acres of land were put into preservation. The city’s website says the initiative has prevented the future development of over 9,000 acres in the Raging River Valley. Inghram said that it is important to know how cities in the PSRC’s domain will grow so that the council can plan for transit and other improvements. “We can’t be making investments while city decisions are completely random,” Inghram said. “We want to have things well thought-out.”

OPINION
Finding the balance between development and preservation BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com
L
ike many folks that live in the lush, forested and wild (seeming) areas of Western Washington, I sometimes get sad or angry watching cookie-cutter houses replace acres of trees. It seems like it is happening all the time. When I get past my initial gut reaction and think about it for a while, I find it hard to justify those feelings. The house I live in is part of a large master-planned community that was forested land when I was born.
When I first moved to the development, there was a certain amount of self-loathing for living in Stuart Miller such a place. Over time I’ve come to love living there. I’ve given my community and myself a “pass,” while still disliking other communities like mine, and cursing overdevelopment. The logical side of me has come to realize that growth and development is unavoidable. My gut still prefers the woods to paved streets and
rows of housing. I think it is important to listen to both sides and find a balance between the two. I’ve come to tolerate the communities that have seem to have popped up quickly over the years. I’m happy about denser housing plans that limit suburban sprawl and save the woods for our enjoyment, both aesthetically and recreationally. Programs like the Snoqualmie Preservation Initiative, which uses urban growth as a means to preserve lands from development, should be encouraged and duplicated. SEE BALANCE, PAGE 5

Letters to the Editor Don’t let litter sully the natural beauty of the area Following a lengthy absence, my wife and I moved back to Washington and chose Snoqualmie for our home. Paramount in the decision to live here was the beauty which surrounds you no matter where in Snoqualmie you live. As we daily walk the streets for exercise and to soak up this beauty, we have unfortunately noticed increasing amounts of litter along the Parkway and side streets throughout the community. Let’s all make an effort to help keep our city the beautiful place that brought many if not all of us here. Please remind your friends, neighbors, children and visitors to care for our community as we do by putting litter in its proper place. Barry Heimbigner Snoqualmie
The truth must emerge for beloved police chief’s sudden retirement Regarding the recent retirement of Chief McCulley from the Snoqualmie Police Department, the local media published the Snoqualmie administration as stating
SEE THE BEAT, PAGE 5
“McCulley’s departure had not been planned for” and that it “came up suddenly.” This implies Chief McCulley was negligent in not following through with securing a replacement for his position. I charge the media to expose the real story and not deface one of the few public servants of this valley who has truly cared about the community and has tirelessly served without publicly taking credit. As a longtime citizen of the Snoqualmie Valley and one who personally knows the chief and his family, I doubt that this retirement was amenable. McCulley is one of the most ethical and lawabiding citizens we have in this valley and we should all strive to achieve his standard. We should question why one would “retire” when he has brought the department up to code in its firing range, implemented standard procedures in its record-keeping and evidence departments, and was almost to the point of getting the department professionally accredited. Why would he “retire?” Let me guess. It must have something to do with political gain from the lessethical persons in our valley’s governments. I charge the media to expose the truth and not allow Chief McCulley to be seen as negligent in the eye of the community. Andrea Williamson Snoqualmie

While Serve Snoqualmie was born from the church, there will be nothing religious about the event, Mihal said. “We’re not handing out bibles or hanging signs saying ‘The End is Near,’ ” he said. “We just wanted to see the

community get together for the tradition of fireworks.” While the City of Snoqualmie didn’t donate any money toward the event, “the city made it as easy as it could for us,” Mihal said. The city helped with things like waiving fire department and EMT fees, lending traffic cones and helping with the permitting process. “We want our residents to have a great time on the Fourth and to spend time safely with family and friends,” said Joan Pliego, communications manager for the city.
Funding for the event has been provided by a variety of local businesses and organizations. Anything that goes up in the air is considered an illegal firework in Snoqualmie. Possession of an illegal firework is a $250 fine, while discharge of one constitutes a $750 fine. The same rules apply to firecrackers. The city defines legal fireworks as ground fireworks, hand-held sparkling devices, and smoke devices. Legal fireworks can be discharged from 9 a.m. to midnight on the Fourth.
While it can be frustrating, the reasons we love our area are the same reasons that others want to join us here. Can you blame them? While we can’t stop growth and develop-
ment, we can be smart in planning it and respectful in preserving it. The qualities of life we love about our home should not be flattened for more homes.

At 9:16 p.m. June 16, Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a reported lightning strike at the intersection of Jacobia and Brinkley Street. A homeowner reported that their home had been struck by lightning and that there was damage and no power to the structure. The crew arrived to find the home dark and partially evacuated. There was no sign of fire from the exterior of the structure. Neighbors had witnessed lightning strike the furnace vent on the very top of the roof and blow the cover off completely. The ground on the electrical meter and all of their service connections going to the Comcast system had blown off and the cable wires were damaged. The thermostat also blew completely off the wall along with a switch plate in the upstairs family room. The family had already contacted PSE. The crew walked the entire house with thermal imaging and checked the attic and crawl areas of the home and found no signs of fire or smoke. Power was secured to the home, and the homeowner was advised to contact their insurance company and PSE again in the morning.

Water leak sets off smoke alarm
At 12:16 p.m. June 19, Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a water leak in a residence on Merritt Avenue Southeast. The homeowner had removed a plug from the washing machine and neglected to tighten it when reinstalled. The washing machine was located on upper floor causing water to drain down through the ceiling and into smoke detectors. The crew shut down water to washer, pulled down activated smoke detectors and helped roll back throw rugs and place buckets to catch water. The crew ensured the fuse panel to that area was turned off and advised homeowner to contact their insurance company. In addition to the above calls, Snoqualmie EMTs responded to 21 medical aid incidents bringing the total number of calls to date to 510. In 2015, there were 878 EMT calls.

PHOTO OF THE MONTH
PAUL DORAN BY NOELA LU Skyline High School Mr. Paul Doran, the International Baccalaureate World Religions and Honors European History teacher at Skyline High School, is extremely popular and admired by all of his students. The graduating class of 2016 even elected him as the teacher speaker at the graduation commencement ceremony on June 13. Question: How does it feel to be a teacher for seniors? Answer: “It’s fun because of what they can do and the fact you can treat them like adults and they ask you good questions. The content is better because you have to teach skills less, but it gets annoying second semester.” Q: If you had three pieces of advice for graduating seniors, what would they be? A: “Figure out why you matter. “Find something and someone you truly love. “Be nice.” Q: What do you enjoy most about being a teacher in general? A: “I like talking about my subject all day with young people. Everything else is just a bonus.”

Summer break is not just a time to have fun-- it’s an opportunity to try different things. Whether that means finding new hobbies or exploring other cities, take the extended daylight and homeworkfree days as a chance to do something unique and memorable. BY MEGAN SO Liberty High School
Do you volunteer for yourself? Or for others? YOURSELF BY NOELA LU Skyline High School
W
hen I began my two-week internship at a prestigious top-10 research university in Guangzhou, China, I was there to volunteer for myself. What does volunteering “for myself” mean? The phrase may sound counterintuitive, but it’s really quite simple: I went to the university to learn research skills, to gain valuable laboratory experience, to expand my knowledge of the biomedical field. I didn’t go to the university thinking that I could be of any real help to the brilliant and independent Ph.D. students working dili-
gently on their own research projects. When I ran gel electrophoreses, pipetted samples and isolated bacteria into petri dishes, I was helping the Ph.D. students by alleviating some of their workload, but mostly I was helping myself. I was expanding my own education and knowledge. So while I was at the university to volunteer my time and efforts as an intern, in actuality I wasn’t volunteering for others. But while my volunteering experience was different than building houses in an impoverished country or offering help at a disintegrated clinic in a third-world country that desperately needs help, it was still important and something that I’ll never forget. My advice? Never be afraid to volunteer for yourself — it can be life-changing.

T
his summer, teens from around the U.S. will embark on trips, domestic and abroad, in the hopes of serving others. These service trips have become so common that you can find hundreds of programs with just one Google search, but as high-schoolers journey out, I hope that they take the time to think about how best to serve. One year ago, I was among these eager teens, headed on a flight to India, where I would be building bathrooms and teaching English. One afternoon, after hours of hauling rocks and digging
holes, my program group and I sat down for a quick 10-minute break. In those short minutes, the three builders who had been hired to help managed to dig deeper and build higher than my group of 20 teens had in two hours. I realized that with the money my fellow high-schoolers and I had spent to fly across the world, these builders could have constructed bathrooms for the entire town. I’m still glad that I went on this trip. The knowledge and cultural experience that I gained were valuable, but I can’t help feeling guilty. With so many service programs around, there are bound to be some that better serve those in need. So, high-schoolers, I implore you, find a program geared towards those who need serving.

Volunteer locally this summer BY ERIKA KUMAR Skyline High School Teenagers often find themselves simultaneously being busy and having nothing to do in the summer. Some of us may have jobs, or are studying for the SAT, preparing for college applications, or are helping around the house. And of course, summer is the ultimate time to relax and recharge our batteries for another school year. While it is essential for your wellbeing to take time for yourself and let loose, it’s equally
important for high school students to give back through volunteering during summer break. There are a plethora of opportunities to get involved in your local community this summer. The Sammamish Farmers Market and the Issaquah Farmers Market both need volunteers to help set up and break down their weekly market. The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank and the Eastside Baby Corner have regular openings for volunteers to come sort donations and prepare items to be given
out. The Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Tools4Schools event on Aug. 20 will provide students in need with backpacks and school supplies — and they need donations and volunteers! You can sign up for any of these volunteer opportunities online with a quick Google search. Remember, volunteering doesn’t have to be boring, either — many of these volunteer opportunities can be done with friends. Have fun and enjoy yourself this summer, but do take some time for your community!

The benefits of summer traveling BY MEGAN SO Liberty High School Whether you step out of a car, train or airplane, the feeling of being surrounded by an unknown environment can be both exhilarating and intimidating. The people, food and even water are all different than what we are accustomed to in Washington, allowing us to expand our understanding of and gain a stronger appreciation for foreign manifestations of humanity. When in an unusual setting, it’s easy to feel a mixture of vulnerability and wonderment — both of which allow you to appre-
ciate the different aspects of other cultures. As you explore the depths of the travel location, you begin to understand the triviality of some of the issues you face back home. While many of us teens are struggling to find our identities, a whole world of people, places and opportunities awaits beyond the routineness of everyday life. While traveling, the pressure we feel is replaced by the freedom and excitement of being in a different society. Not only does being on unfamiliar turf allow us to immerse ourselves in awe-inspiring culture, but it awakens a usually dormant attentiveness to our sur-
roundings. What you take away from crossing the bustling intersection in Shibuya is different than what you experience amid the crowds of Pike Place. Similarly, what you watch on television or learn in a classroom is not fully understood until you actually experience it. When you chat with a local in Nice or when you taste the spicy-sweet rice cake dish at a street food stand in Seoul is an unforgettable, unique experience. Even if you can’t go overseas, traveling to a new place can teach you things you never imagined — or at least let you find a new favorite food!
Staying sober this summer BY MATTHEW DUFF Issaquah High School Teenagers are not famous for following the rules. This is an experimental stage of life at the very least, and teenagers often cross boundaries just to see what will happen. This is perhaps not an altogether maladaptive instinct — while it often involves a good deal of friction, conflict fuels growth. There is a point, however, when a line is truly not to be crossed for one’s own good. Take, for example, alcohol. With summer upon us, many teens are presented with long hours to fill with socialization. In some peo-

I’m not as enthusiastic about alcohol, and I’ve met a surprising number of peers who feel the same way. Why am I not an alcohol fan? It bothers me that it’s illegal, and it bothers me that it’s potentially dangerous. Ultimately, though, I

enjoy being sober. When I get together with friends, we’re all in our right minds, we laugh, we talk, we play games, we have a good time. At the end of it all, we’re still physically functional and healthy. We don’t worry about driving home. We don’t worry about embarrassing or stupid things we did, because we remember the entire evening. We’re not hung over, we don’t lie to our family, we’re in no danger of being in trouble with the law. Personally, I think those are all pretty cool things. For these reasons, I believe that there are more productive, rewarding things to do this summer than getting drunk.

first two years. It wasn’t until the spring of my junior year that I decided to row for Sammamish Rowing Association (SRA). At first, I was super hesitant to try rowing because it didn’t seem fun at all. But the first time I got in a shell and actually learned what rowing was all about made me fall in love with it. I was in many races during my novice year in the top boat and we were undefeated until regionals. Senior year, we had a strong boat of women but didn’t quite make the cusp to qualify for junior nationals.

By most definitions, Meghan McCallum would be considered a late bloomer when it comes to being a competitive rower. The 2013 Mount Si High School graduate didn’t pick up an oar until four years ago but quickly became a natural through her time with the Sammamish Rowing Association. Now a student at Gonzaga University in Spokane, McCallum helped the school’s rowing program to historical highs at the NCAA women’s national championships. At the Division I championships, held May 27-29 in Gold River, Calif., Gonzaga’s Varsity 8 boat finished 14th overall and the Bulldogs scored 45 points for 16th place in the team standings. Both results were the best in school history. McCallum, who recently

its maximum limits and then some. Some races, you do your best and you don’t get the place you want, but you need to decide that it was a good race and you’ll get another opportunity. You have to commit to workouts at 4:30 a.m. in 22-degree weather, going to class for five hours, lifting weights or doing cardio, then homework. You do the same thing six times a week. Rowing isn’t the sport for everyone, but it teaches you time management skills. First and foremost, my teammates are my driving force. Without those 35 girls by my side every morning, doing things to our body no one would ever dream about, I would not make it. SVS: What were your expectations going into college – has it been more or less difficult than you imagined – and who helped the most to integrate you into the team? MM: Going into my first season, I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t know if I was going to be with other freshmen or row with the experienced girls. All I knew was that I was going to be excited if I got to compete. The first year was much harder than I expected. I was really homesick, wasn’t super interested in my classes and didn’t really know my teammates that well. But after a while things got better and our team clicked. These past two years, the team has had a mental shift. We have decided to be limitless and not set boundaries for ourselves. We would have a team goal that was considered fast. Once we broke that goal, we would set a faster one. We wanted to put Gonzaga women’s rowing on the map, because a little Catholic school in Spokane isn’t a flash

SVS: What were your feelings headed into this year’s NCAA championships? Were you nervous? What did you learn from your opponents? MM: Headed into nationals, I was pumped. We had just won backto-back West Coast Conference championships and have been breaking records all year long. I was confident in our ability to make a point out there on the water, but I was also hesitant about how well we would actually do. As far as our competitors, they are much bigger than we are. Top crews such as Cal, Ohio State and Brown, all of their girls are tall – 5-10 to 6-7. They have much more leverage on the oar and the ability to move more water. In fact, I’m one of the tallest people on our team and I’m only 5-10. But this is something that Gonzaga prides itself on: We may be a small program, but we can still take down top10 crews in the nation. We beat Washington State, Iowa and Yale. People laugh at us when they see us, then respect us after our race. SVS: The upcoming Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will help rowing become more visible for a short time – what can the sport do to maintain that visibility and attract new, young athletes? MM: The Olympics, I believe, are the end goal for every athlete. You have worked your tail off for years to try and master your sport. Rio will be a great opportu-
