Local groups work on ways to protect elk, homeowners, in the city they share By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter

A group of North Bend home-owners is hoping to train the local elk herd to avoid their yards, in favor of a nearby swath of trees. Wildlife experts, though, are skeptical about their chances, and lack of intelligence has nothing to do with it.

Elk are smart, say Department of Fish and Wildlife Officer Chris Moszeter, and Jim Gildersleeve and Harold Erland of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group. So smart, they can work through almost any elk deterrent people have tried, including a locked gate to a fenced golf course. “For some reason, they enjoy those flags on the greens,” Moszeter says. Or, maybe the grass just tastes better, because elk will do a lot to get on a golf course. See ELK, 7

A hopeful forecast Mayor looks at what’s ahead for Snoqualmie in ‘State of the City’ talk By Seth Truscott Editor

Major projects, signs of economic growth, and citizens and residents stepping up to make Snoqualmie work better puts Mayor Matt Larson on a much more optimistic beat in 2013. Giving his annual ‘State of the City’ talk to the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce at its packed January 18 luncheon at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, the Snoqualmie leader was upbeat, sharing signs of the times like the planned dual police force, Tokul roundabout, new parks and street repairs. “The state of the city remains vibrant and strong,” Larson said. Regional and national

changes, like an increase in energy supply, the easing up of ‘poisoned assets’ in the mortgage and foreclosure sector, and the state going over the hump of 25,000 job cuts last year, have him hopeful. Those factors were highlighted at the recent economic forecast conference that the mayor, City Administrator Bob Larson and Finance Director Rob Orton attended, put on by the Economic Development Council of King County and Seattle. Close to home, housing starts are beginning to come back in Snoqualmie. They’re not close to pre-recession levels, but the city added a resident a day in 2012. City population hit 11,320 last spring.

City infrastructure Municipal governments’ budgets are divided into two major sections: The general fund and the enterprise fund.

Seth Truscott/Staff Photo

Touting more jobs, big projects and how locals have stepped up, Snoqualmie Matt Larson discusses the more promising financial picture of the city during Friday’s chamber lunch at the Ridge TPC. The general fund pays for all of the fundamental services of the city, such as police, firefighters, city staff, and all of the facilities, buildings and vehicles that a city needs.

YOU BELONG HERE

Snoqualmie Valley Record • January 23, 2013 • 3

Enterprise funds come from fees charged for city services like water and sewer. “By law, we have to keep those buckets separate from each other,” Larson told chamber members The city council can adjust fees on the enterprise side, but boosting general fund revenues, which mainly come from taxes, is harder. In Washington, where property tax increases are capped at 1 percent, cities like Snoqualmie are challenged by operations cost that rise roughly 3 percent a year, says Larson. “Cities, like school districts, will have to get into a normal vote, going out for a lid lift every five or six years,” he says. He was “relieved and pleased” to see residents support the city’s 24 cent levy lid lift last fall. That levy, which will raise about $400,000—roughly $100 annually per household—will be split into several areas. Half of it pays for two new positions: a new city firefighter and a joint parks/ public works employee. With the fiscal cliff still looming on a national level, Larson said he was hesitant about spending it all on employees who may end up having to be let go. The other half of the levy funds go to capital projects that Larson says the city needs to get on top of: sign fixes, new carpet and vehicles, and clean-up of potentially

dangerous materials in the Snoqualmie Police Station’s basement firing range. “The HVAC system needs to be scrubbed. While a few of you might think there’s poetic justice in the officers getting a taste of their own lead, it’s something the state and federal governments discourage,” he quipped. With 64 miles of water pipe, 37 miles of sewer, and enough sidewalk to line both sides of I-90 into Seattle, Snoqualmie has plenty of infrastructure to take care of. And in today’s economic climate, the city has to work harder with its own resources to pay for infrastructure projects like the downtown improvements or the new Tokul Road roundabout. “We started moving into a new normal where the message from the state and federal governments was ‘you’re not going to be able to rely on grants,’” Larson said. “We’re saying, ‘How do we stay on top of this stuff?….We had to look at raising fees, raising taxes.”

New normal Besides taking its annual 1 percent property tax increase, the city put in place a Transportation Benefit District, in 2010, with a $20 car tab fee; increased taxes on utilities like sewer and cable, and finally added a transport fee for any ambulance trips to the hospital.

County plans investigation of Fall City man’s death The shooting death of a 42-year-old Fall City man will be the subject of an inquest ordered by King County Executive Dow Constantine. A six-member panel will review the details of the Dec. 10 incident, in which the man, identified as Eric Todd Berg, with no permanent address, was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy. The incident began in the early morning at the Fall City Mobile Park, where the victim was heard yelling and creating a disturbance. Many residents knew the man, believed to live under a nearby bridge, and were familiar with his end-of-the-world rants. A few called 911. By about 6:30 a.m., the man had become significantly more aggressive and was making threats that prompted multiple calls to 911. The responding deputy found Berg lying under a porch, and tried to calm him down, witnesses said. Berg reportedly charged the deputy and got control of his Tazer after the officer tried to use it. As the officer backed away, Berg continued to advance, so the officer shot him.

Outsmarting the ‘genius’ Valley elk

riving from Snoqualmie to North Bend a few weeks ago to see a show about a certain Hobbit, I had to slow down on Elk Tourism Row. That’s not an official title for State Route 202, but it’s a good descriptor for what happens when a two-lane highway must also accommodate parked cars on both lanes. Dozens of folks—it’s impossible that they were all out-of-towners—had jumped out of their cars to witness a major conclave of elk on Meadowbrook Farm. Momentarily inconvenienced, my reactions jumped from impatience at the traffic jam to wonder at the sight. Why get upset? I thought. The elk were in the field, doing their thing. So were the camera-packing travelers. Carol Ladwig’s article on the work by the Valley elk group and the elk travel corridors in North Bend underlines how people in the Valley continue to face the challenge of living with wildlife. Whether it’s a trash bear roaming the Ridge, the occasional cougar sighting near Meadowbrook, or the frequent movement of elk through Valley neighborhoods, these wild animals are a year-round presence, Seth Truscott and that’s never going to change. Valley Record And, according to wildlife officers, Editor it’s on us to learn to live with these animals in a safe, smart way, because these animals are pretty smart, too. The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Living with Wildlife page (http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/) has a number of tips about how to do this. The state recommends non-lethal methods, in particular fences, to ensure that elk stay away from property where they don’t belong. To withstand an elk, a fence has to be either tall and strong, or electrified. For any fence to be effective, it must be seen by elk. A group of elk, led by the dominant cow, will plow through any type of fence, except perhaps a cyclone fence, if it is in their path and they don’t see it before the herd is upon it. That means using colored tape or, the state suggests, branches on the top, to make it stand out. Elk are most active at dawn and dusk, so those are the times to be most watchful on the road. One elk crossing the road may be a sign that others are getting ready to go. Try to drive more slowly at night, giving yourself time to see an elk. Lower the brightness of your dash lights to make it easier to see an animal. Hooves can slip on pavement and an elk may fall in front of your vehicle just when you think it is jumping away. If you accidentally hit and kill an elk, try to move the animal off the road—provided you can do so in complete safety. Otherwise, report the location of the elk’s body to the city, county, or state highway department. If nobody responds, call the police, who can arrange for the body to be removed, preventing scavengers from being attracted to the road, and eliminating a potential traffic hazard. Some of these methods might seem like a step too far, that it’s too much trouble to put up fences and drive more warily. Some might say we should remove the elk from the Valley floor altogether. That’s not realistic. Local elk watchers are using lethal methods in the most careful, humane ways, but even those who advocate for lethal force to counter elk problems would by no means want to see the herds vanish from our communities. When it comes to solving the dilemmas caused by Valley elk, there is no quick solution, only the patient process of adaptation on both sides. Elk are smart. People are smarter. We can work this out.

Is having a resident Out of the elk herd a good thing?

Past This week in Valley history

Thursday, Jan. 21, 1988

“It’s nice to see them. Most people like to see animals, and I do, too, just not at my home, in my yard.” Amalia Fleming North Bend

“I like animals, and I’m a hunter. I’ve also seen the impact of elk in an urban setting, and the damage they can do. If you’re going to live in a rural area, it’s nice to have diversity.” Frank Page North Bend

“My grandpa taught me a little about gardening—you plant one for yourself, one for your neighbors, and one for all the critters! I wouldn’t trade it, it’s worth it. But I think there are too many of them, because you can’t hunt here.”” Danny Moore Snoqualmie

“I would think that it would be fine, because it’s natural. People move up here to be in nature.” Molly Soderquist North Bend

• As provided by the new year’s budget, the city of Snoqualmie has a new police officer. Dave Johnson, a fiveyear veteran in the reserves, was hired on full-time. • Snoqualmie Valley Hospital has gained a full-time general surgeon, Dr. Charles Hamlin, thereby providing the Valley with round-the-clock surgical coverage.

Thursday, Jan. 24, 1963 • Paul J. McKay, District Highway Engineer, is going to recommend the installation of a traffic light at Bendigo and Highway 10 in North Bend. He’ll make the case next month to the State Highway Commission. Such a light could be turned on only during peak hours, but McKay makes the case that “we must make it possible for cars and pedestrians to cross the highway.” • The 27 members of Snoqualmie’s volunteer fire department spent 6,293 hours last year on fire department work. That doesn’t include time spent in meetings, fire school, or community events, such as the fundraising carnival. Nearly 2,800 hours were spent in drills. The nine fires in the city in 1962 required about 492 man-hours.

Seven new double-sized portable classrooms are up for discussion at the Jan. 24 meeting of the Snoqualmie Valley School Board. Originally on the board’s consent agenda for the Jan. 10 meeting, the portables were moved to the main agenda for further discussion by the board. Six of the portables are intended for placement at Twin Falls Middle School and Chief Kanim Middle School, three each, to accommodate next year’s additional students from the former Snoqualmie Middle School. The seventh structure would go to Cascade View Elementary School, where enrollment is currently at 650 FTE students, and slightly more in actual students, because of half-day Kindergarten. “Most of our schools have about 20 or 25 percent of their capacity sitting in portables,” said Business Director Ryan Stokes. Board members delayed a decision on the purchase to examine the possibility of relocating existing portables from the high school, which has 19 classrooms in portables. Most of the district’s portable classrooms, 33, are located at the five elementary schools, with eight at the Two Rivers School, and three at Snoqualmie Middle School. If purchased, the new structures would bring the district’s portable classroom count to 66 — some of the portables are used as office space, too. Twin Falls Middle School, which opened in 2008, would get its first portable classrooms. Cost of the seven portables, including siting and installation, is estimated at $1.8 million. Stokes said the portables under discussion are upgraded with sturdier roofing and siding, so they are more durable for the area’s weather. Following a December “opt-in” period to allow students in the Twin Falls district to enroll in Chief Kanim Middle School instead, the district is expecting about 740 students at each middle school next year. The school board meets at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 24, at Snoqualmie City Hall.

Jewel journey

With a retail boutique in the front and a jewelry-making studio in the back, Snoqualmie resident Anne Jackson’s new business offers something colorful for anyone. She recently opened SimplyAnne Party Boutique at 8050 Railroad Avenue, Snoqualmie, in the former site of La Chicanita. Jackson’s creations are on view in the front of the shop, while the studio hosts special events, from birthday parties and girls’ nights out to team building events and youth clubs. Jackson and her family moved to the Northwest from Austin, Texas, in 2009. “My son Ian had seen a friend wearing a necklace he liked and asked if I would make him one for his new school,” she told the Record. “I designed a simple tile necklace with a cougar on it and he and his friends loved it.” Jackson quickly realized she loved making jewelry. As her new home began to fill with designs, she started sending pieces to friends in Texas, adding guitar picks to her work—after all, Austin is a music capital of the world.

Anne Jackson’s hobby became her business. She creates handmade jewelry for all ages, and hosts creative parties, in her downtown Snoqualmie store, SimplyAnne Party Boutique. As her friends passed them around and the demand grew, she started selling pieces locally. Jackson was encouraged to open a store after her first house party in Snoqualmie, where nearly every piece sold. Jackson designs and makes nearly every piece by hand, so they’re all special, she says. She is a certified Texas

elementary teacher, and loves working with children. “I have truly created my dream—a store that not only carries my pieces but a place where I can teach children and adults how to make different pieces of jewelry,” Jackson says. • Call SimplyAnne Party Boutique at (425) 954-5240.

through his neighborhood frequently, he said, travelling from the Middle Fork to the South Fork. “We’re trying to direct them away from the residential areas,” he said, to a 20-foot-wide ‘buffer’ of trees between the old neighborhood and the new. “But somehow or other, the elk don’t know how to read signs,” he said with a wink. Polygon offered that buffer as a tree retention easement, and to address neighbors’ concerns about the proximity of the new construction, when it submitted its preliminary plat for the development on Cedar Falls Way in early 2011. “It was just a tree retention area, just to provide some vegetation there,” said Polygon project manager Ben Rutkowski. He said initially there had been “some discussion on if our project would provide a corridor for the elk,” but “It’s my understanding that our 20-foot buffer was nowhere near what they actually needed.” Gildersleeve, a self-proclaimed “strong property rights advocate,” was skeptical that even a 100-foot buffer would be adequate for a wildlife corridor, and noted that county regulations call for 200-foot buffers around sensitive areas, and 300-feet for wildlife. “They need to think about wildlife corridors… multiple use trails, where the deer and the elk use it probably at night, and human beings use it probably during the day,” he said. Horvath hopes to partner with Polygon in an effort to plant the buffer with vegetation irresistible to the elk, but Gildersleeve offers a warning about “enhanced” elk areas: “They will also hold the elk in the area and they can do a lot of browsing in a short period of time.” Also, Moszeter said the buffer, which has some underbrush, looks much less appealing to an elk than the open yards nearby. He guessed the elk might use it if the buffer were fenced off from the homes and cleared a little through the center. Elk are opportunistic, and will go to any easily accessible source of high-quality food, but they’ll eat anything when they’re hungry, Moszeter said.

Special one-way gates have been installed in many a golf course fence to give errant elk an exit, Moszeter said, and they’ve worked really well in eastern Washington. An elk stuck inside a fence after closing, he explained, can just push its nose along the fence until it reaches the gate that will open to let it out, then lock shut again. “But apparently North Bend elk are much smarter than eastern Washington elk,” Moszeter said, because the members of at least one sub-herd here have figured out how to push their way through the bars of such a gate at the Mount Si Golf Course, to make a big enough opening for access. “If an elk can get its head through something, typically, they will try to get through it,” he said. That’s probably not the best trait for a 500-pound ruminant living in a city to have, but North Bend’s resident elk herd, at about 450 strong, is proving resilient. The support of a local non-profit doesn’t hurt, either. “I don’t want to see the elk here become extinct again,” says Erland, vice-president of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group (EMG) and its wildlife biologist. It’s happened twice already, the first time in the mid1800s, when European settlers nearly hunted the elk out, according to Dave Battey’s “Elk in the Upper Snoqualmie Valley” history on the EMG website (www.snoqualmievalleyelk.org). In 1913, the Seattle Elks’ Club imported a herd of 44 Rocky Mountain Elk from Montana (elk indigenous to Washington are Roosevelt Elk, larger and darker in color than the transplants) and introduced them into the Snoqualmie Valley, where they flourished despite the nuisance they made for local farmers. Weyerhauser employees and community groups fed the elk, and the animals, “healthy, handsome and playful,” returned the favor during the Great Depression, Battey reported, but the coming of World War II ended local elk hunting. The elk population, headJim Gildersleeve quartered on the mill pond Secretary, Upper Snoqualmie island, surged with devastatValley Elk Management Group ing effect. A severe winter in 1945 eliminated most of the herd’s forage, and 20 animals starved to death before a rescue was effected and the elk relocated to Mount Baker National Forest. Today’s herd, first seen again in the Valley in the early ‘90s, are the descendants of a few Rocky Mountain elk that survived the winter in the Cedar River Watershed. Preventing another catastrophe like the elks’ starvation in 1945 is a primary focus of the EMG and of the DFW. They are working together toward that mainly by keeping the population stable. The non-profit EMG tracks the elk with radio and GPS collars, sharing the data with the DFW so they can better plan for elk movement in their overall management plan. Management, they frankly admit, does mean controlled hunts, but it also means developing wildlife underpasses and repairing fences to keep the elk and other animals off the roads, where most fatalities happen, improving existing elk habitat, and, public outreach and education. Erland gave nearly 30 presentations on elk in 2011 alone, Gildersleeve pointed out. Another, related goal of the two groups is minimizing property damage by foraging elk, which is where groups like the LaForest Holme homeowners association come in. Association president Sandy Horvath said he personally likes seeing the elk in his neighborhood, but not the damage they can cause to the yards and landscaping. They pass

One of the best deterrents for elk damage is the EMG’s work on habitat development. Their natural home is in the mountains, Gildersleeve said, and, in general, they leave there only when food gets scarce, such as in the fall and winter. Then they come to the Valley floor and break into subherds of 40 or 50 to find enough forage. The elk group has recently gotten permission to plant some elk-attracting plants in a recently logged area above Snoqualmie, in hopes that it will keep the elk in the mountainous areas. “There’s just not enough food up there to hold them,” he said, “…so our theory is there will be increased habitat up there and the elk will spend less time down in the suburban areas.” If persuasion doesn’t work, the EMG and DFW will resort to more forceful deterrents, starting with fences, and ending with controlled hunts. Fences, Moszeter said, are the only really reliable way to keep elk out of an area, provided they don’t make their own routes in, by damaging fences. Fencing that’s four-feet wide with a mesh of four-inch holes on one end, tapering to twoinch holes on the other end, works well, he said, when you put two lengths together to make an eight-foot fence with the smaller holes together and the larger holes at top and bottom, farthest from an elk’s prying nose. Hazing and hunts have also proven effective, despite the huge public outcry that followed last year’s announcement of a planned hunt on the Snoqualmie Ridge TPC golf course. Erland and Gildersleeve, both master hunters, were disappointed by the reaction, which resulted in the hunt being cancelled, because they’ve seen how effective they can be. Removing one or two breeding females from an area helps to curb the population growth, and can keep a herd away from an area indefinitely. “They are trainable,” said Erland. “You kill a couple of them and they’re going to move. They’re going to use different trails, they will find different areas. They will actually stay off people’s property, because they’re smart that way.” For that reason, the elk group is seeking private property owners willing to open their land for such controlled hunts. “People who want to limit their damage and be involved in the management of elk in the Snoqualmie Valley,” Erland said, are encouraged to contact him or Gildersleeve. The benefits of their management strategies are clear, both in the deterrent value of the hunt and, ultimately, in the control of a growing and healthy population of elk who might easily outstrip their food sources on the Valley floor. Roughly 25 animals are killed each year by hunters, Gildersleeve said. Interestingly, about twice that many permits are awarded annually – 10 for archer, seven for modern weapons, five for muzzle-loaders, five for youth hunters, and 25 to master hunters. The success rate for master hunters and hobbyists alike is about 50 percent. Elk definitely are smart, and the best example of that may be in their choice of homes. After all, people love to see them, and they may have managed to change local behaviors, too, while living here. “Most golf courses know now to take down their flags at night,” says Moszeter.

North Bend Citizen of the Year Nela Cumming gets daily inspiration

By Carol Ladwig

Staff Reporter

Hours before Nela Cumming was surprised with North Bend’s Citizen of the Year honors on January 15, she’d been reflecting on life in her chosen city. “Look at that mountain,” she told her 10-year-old son, Jacob, as they drove down North Bend Way, “isn’t it beautiful? And look how cute North Bend is. Aren’t we lucky to live here?” Cumming, the Director of Pediatric Therapy for Encompass, and a six-year resident of North Bend, is well acquainted with the blessings in life, and with the lack of them. It’s why she embarked on a 25-year career in social work. “Like most girls, I wanted to be a ballerina and a veterinarian at the same time,” she said, laughing, “But I knew I wanted to be a social worker when I was a little girl,” she said. “I loved helping people. I’ve done social services work, and loved it, as long as I can remember.” Growing up in Oak Ridge Tenn., Cumming was inspired by books about people overcoming tragic situations. “Reading was my salvation,” she said, explaining that she’d been a shy, unhappy teen, taking refuge in books, especially biographies. The stories she read got her wondering about “what made people successful,” she said. She also had a real-life example for inspiration in her mother. One of 10 children, Cumming’s mother grew up in “dire poverty” during the Great Depression, and was determined to get an education. “She really just felt that education was her way out, and her siblings’,” Cumming said, so each of them helped the others through school. “They didn’t let their birth circumstances dictate what their lives would be like,” Cumming said. Nor do the people she works with today, either through Encompass or through her volunteering as a Spanish translator at North Bend Elementary School —

Flooring it ‘I feel like I can only go up from here’ | Mount Si gymnasts breaking boundaries on floor routine By Seth Truscott Editor

“She’s dancing out there!” Jenn Rogers watched Hailey Johnson’s bouncy, upbeat routine. Like Rogers, Johnson’s sophomore year has been marked with great strides. It all came together, out on the floor, where confident moves and calm, smiling faces showed Mount Si gymnasts are hitting their stride this season. Rogers, Johnson, Carissa Castagno and Pauline Kaczmarek had career highs in their floor routines last Thursday, Jan. 17, at home with Bellevue, with the Wildcats winning team-wise, 171.05 to the Wolverines’ 146. “I am really happy,” said Rogers, in between a slew of five hugs from teammates and girls from the other team, after hitting 9.75 on floor. “That’s the best routine I’ve done in my two years of gymnastics at Mount Si.” She has the confidence to go out there and have fun, just like other Mount Si leaders.

If I go out there and do what I need to do, I know I’m going to be all right.” “This is the best team we’ve ever had,” says Johnson, who, like other Mount Si gymnasts, is eager for state.

High points included Tim Corrie, at 182 pounds, getting a 9-7 decision in overtime over Mercer’s Daniel Stanke. Mitch Rorem (195) got a major decision over Evan Condon, 12-4. Nate Whited (220) pinned his man, Andrew Picton, in 27 seconds. At 132, Ryley Absher won a decision over Mercer’s Luke Wilson. Mercer heavyweight Benjamin O’Connell pinned Kelly Klupar in 1:16.

Valley’s own Texas Tech shortstop Tim Proudfoot named a college ‘Player to Watch’

SMS girls go undefeated over two seasons

Collegiate Baseball Newspaper has named Texas Tech University sophomore shortstop Tim Proudfoot a “Top Player to Watch” in its 2013 College Baseball Preview. Proudfoot grew up in North Bend and graduated from Mount Si High School in 2011. He made the list of top returning players after becoming the first Texas Tech freshman in school history to start at least 50 games at shortstop in 2012. Proudfoot was also one of just four freshmen in the country named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List, an award given annually to the nation’s top shortstop. He led all Big 12 freshmen with 21 extra-base hits while batting .237 with 14 doubles, five triples, two home runs and 29 RBI. He fielded .957 and set a freshman school record with 169 assists. In addition, Proudfoot played the final month of the 2012 season committing just two errors in the final 20 games. Texas Tech is in Lubbock, Texas.

BANDIT FROM 1 On Wednesday, January 16, at a press conference in Chino, Calif., the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced an unprecedented reward of $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of the man, described as white, 25 to 40 years old, between 5’10” and 6’ tall and with a stocky build. The AK-47 Bandit is suspected in a series of five armed robberies in California, Washington and Idaho, and of shooting and severely injuring a Chino Police officer. The attacks on these banks were similar, involving a masked man, armed with

Jerod “Jerry” Roy Barsness

Jerry was born in Minnesota on February 7, 1952. He grew up in Seattle and passed away peacefully at his home in North Bend, WA on January 15, 2013. Jerry was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Barsness and LaDonna Barsness Gamba. He is survived by his wife, Debra Landers; brother, Jim Barsness; sister, Jill Crocitto; nieces,Jennifer Crocitto, Michele Crocitto, and Hailey Landers. Jerry was an audiophile whose infatuation with music and high fidelity audio started with the gift of his first turn table at the age of five. He loved the outdoors, enjoyed camping and was an avid hiker. Jerry was a passionate traveler, who combined his enjoyment of food and wine with his pleasure in visiting different countries and cultures. He graduated from Rainier Beach High School in 1970, attended both Western Washington University and the University of Washington, remaining a Husky football fan his entire life. He worked much of his adult life at Magnolia Audio Video. Jerry cared deeply about his family, was a devoted, loving husband, a loyal friend, and a good man. His passing leaves a chasm in our lives. At his request, there will be no formal memorial service. 731272

Karla Mae Griffith October 14, 1949 – January 2, 2013 We lost a bright light from this world on January 2, 2013 when Karla Griffith, age 63, passed away from complications related to cancer. Karla started her life in Belleville Illinois, daughter to Wain and Ethel Westfall, October 14, 1949. She graduated from Southern Illinois University - Carbondale with a bachelor degree in social work and moved to Tucson Arizona with her close friend Nancy Davis (Fossland). She spent a few years in the groovy world around San Francisco before moving to the Snoqualmie Valley 38 years ago. The majority of her work career was invested in counseling delinquent youth, starting as a case manager at Echo Glen Children’s Center, moving to parole services, and returning to Echo Glen as an associate superintendent – retiring in 2009. Her home life centered around her brave and wonderful son Darby Summers, rambunctious and loving grandsons Caiden and Hunter, her devoted husband David “Grif ” Griffith, and a legion of friends. Karla could not help but be engaging and approachable. People gravitated to her warmth and generous spirit, clients loved her, and she had a way of making you feel happy and comfortable. Since her passing there have been numerous stories shared about times she put someone at ease during small moments of crisis, or advocating for the downtrodden and those not always supported. She has been described as courageous, straight forward, funny, one who cared for others above herself, quick to laugh, and at her job - professional while at the same time real. She was passionate about gardening and playing with her grandkids. She also spent a lot of time on the water – whitewater rafting, sailing, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, snorkeling, or just floating on an air mattress.Though she would be grumpy during long car trips she loved the destinations and exploring. There always seemed to be a parade of cherished pets, most arriving unannounced, that she loved and doted on – prompting a friend to desire to be reincarnated as her dog. She is survived by her husband, son, grandsons, mother Ethel Westfall, sister Karen Patterson, friend and neighbor Caroline Main, and her tight group of girlfriends. A memorial get together will be arranged, and donations can be made to her favorite charity St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Friends are invited to share memories and sign the family’s on-line guest book at www.flintofts.com. We will miss you sweetheart. In life you were always the one that got us out on the dance floor. 731107

Ambulance fees, Larson said, will allow the city to add at least one additional firefighter. The efforts that the city has made to fit into the ‘new normal’ have helped when it seeks grants from state agencies. The mayor told the chamber that these efforts have given the city the edge at the table of committees like the Puget Sound Regional Council’s Region Project Advisory Committee. Snoqualmie won $6.3 million in government grants last year. “This is what gives me the confidence to say we’re moving forward in 2013,” Larson said. The biggest grant was $3 million from the Transportation Improvement Board for the Tokul roundabout, which would in turn allow the Salish Lodge and Spa to expand. Larson anticipates that bringing upwards of half a million of ongoing new revenue to the city. “It’s a very important project and a huge piece of news,” the mayor said. Construction could begin as early as March. Larson added that the city is giving the Snoqualmie Tribe time to come up to speed on the details of the roundabout; the tribe is against development at the Falls. “Embedded in the project is the full cost of having an archaeological representative on site during construction,” the mayor said. “We will take their concerns very seriously.” The next phase of downtown infrastructure projects is coming. Two years ago, the city completed phase one, which improved the north side of Railroad Avenue with new lights, sidewalks and other fixes. Now, on the south side, new parking, a boardwalk, sidewalks and traffic-calming designs are coming. This project is half funded. Also, fixes to dilapidated Falls Avenue, Beta

and Gamma streets downtown are fully funded. “This infrastructure has completely failed,” Larson said. “This is a complete rebuild.” Bids came in a few weeks ago, and city staff were thrilled to see them as much as $600,000 below the engineer’s estimate. At Carmichael Park and Jeanne Hansen Park, grant- or developer-backed projects are in the works to add new playfields. “Keep an eye on this one,” he said of Hansen Park, where the city has entered into a partnership to convert fields to turf, saving in long-term costs.

Police command Snoqualmie’s police force saw big changes in 2012, with more to come. After 23 years at the helm, Chief Jim Schaffer retired in June. New Chief Steve McCulley took the reins, adding Nick Almquist as captain. Snoqualmiewonthecontract for North Bend police work last September. So, in March of 2014, Snoqualmie assumes law enforcement duties for the entire Upper Valley. The city will hire at least six officers. Larson described the benefits he sees to the change, which includes economies of scale, more opportunities for professional development and advancement, a higher level of back-up, and the chance to add an investigator and have better levels of service without increasing costs. “With the same agency… we’ll be able to have a common intelligence about what’s going on in the Valley,” Larson said. “We think a fundamentally stronger relationship between the two cities is a good benefit.” Next fall, Larson related, the trail and lower park at Snoqualmie Falls will be completed as Puget Sound Energy completes its relicensing and retrofitting at the power site.

CAMPing FROM 1 Its adoption comes just weeks after an independent citizens group opened an emergency winter shelter for the homeless. The new code prohibits sleeping in public places and, following amendments proposed by Councilman Ross Loudenback, it also prohibits starting fires on public property outside of specifically designated areas like park fire pits. Loudenback supported the new ordinance, saying “We have all been at the workstudies and we’ve discussed this issue.” Issues with the homeless have been the subject of several council discussions over the past year, City Administrator Londi Lindell reminded the council. She also told them the new code was compatible with their goals for public properties. “It’s really to give us all the tools you need to make sure your parks are safe,” she said. Under the new code, which takes effect Jan. 28, camping on any publicly owned

Park, is also substantially completed, and should make for more electrical stability in the Valley’s winter storms. Among awards, Larson highlighted the Snoqualmie Community Center and Y’s pick in November for “Community Impact of the Year” award from the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association’s state chapter. The Y beat out serious contenders like the Chihuly Garden and Glass space at Seattle Center and the LeMay American Car Museum in Tacoma. In December, the city’s vehicle fleet got a three-star rating from Western Washington Clean Cities for strong fleet management practices and investing in alternative fuels. On Snoqualmie Ridge, incoming employers like Motion Water Sports, Spacelabs Healthcare and the King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review have collectively added a 600-person workforce. “That’s a substantial customer base that you should all be going after,” Larson said. “It’s been a real sea change.” Still to come are the new Chase Bank at the Ridge business park, and the new Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, which will be the topic of February’s chamber luncheon. The mayor referenced the Imagine Housing project on the Ridge, off Jacobia Street. Their proposal is for about 160 units, for residents earning 60 precent of median income in King County. “That’s a product that’s very much in need,” Larson said. Imagine has called a community meeting on its proposal, 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 23, at the Snoqualmie Y. Quizzed by North Ben Mayor Ken Hearing on whether he intends to seek another term, Larson answered, “I’ll be announcing my decision on that at the end of February.”

land will be an infraction punishable by a fine of up to $100. The definition of camping will cover storing personal items and using a vehicle as a residence, as well as sleeping in public places. As proposed, the ordinance will not apply to people sleeping in public places during the day, provided they have not erected some type of structure, nor will it apply to activities authorized with a special events permit, or fires in established park fire pits. Public places will include parks, sidewalks, streets, alleys, lanes, rights-of-way, and underneath bridges and viaducts. Park hours are dawn to dusk, and violators found in the park outside of those times can be charged with a misdemeanor offense. The Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter opened on Dec. 22. The shelter, hosted by the North Bend Community Church, 146 East 3rd Street, opens to guests from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. nightly, and closes by 8 a.m., and will operate through March 7.
