Students’ gift sends fallen soldiers home
Could transit options change for Lower Valley in SVT-Metro deal? By Seth Truscott

The Route 922 bus doesn’t come through any more. It was never perfect, but David Egan still misses it. A 26-year resident of this neighborhood west of Carnation, Egan has been “pretty much totally blind” for most his life. He doesn’t drive, and that’s made him beholden—more than he’d like— to his family and neighbors for rides. “You always feel like you have to make it right for people,” Egan says. So, if he doesn’t want to ask around for a ride, there’s public transit—if and when he can get it.
Edmonds portrait artist’s mission of love gets big boost from Snoqualmie Middle School By Seth Truscott Editor
North Bend’s longest-serving deputy had to make a tough call a few months back, when an old shoulder injury flared up and put him on sick leave. Did he nurse his shoulder back to health and come back for another two years of service in the community he loved and had served for nearly 25 years? Or did he sail off into the sunset of (early) retirement? He chose the sunset, and for a lot of good reasons: He’s planning to follow his own advice of “don’t get old!”
The phone rang at 3 in the morning. Michael Reagan answered it, and met a mom in Scotland. She had learned about R e a g a n’s work, and needed him to create something for her. Something unique, and something he’s done more than a thousand times. Reagan is the Edmonds, Wash., artist behind the Fallen Heroes Michael Reagan Artist, Project. For Fallen Heroes Project nine years, he has made portraits of soldiers who died serving their country, and sends them to families, free of charge. To date, he’s sent mailed or delivered nearly 3,200 pictures of soldiers in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. For that Scottish mom, and for other families, “I was the first phone call,” he said. “It means these are important.”

Know your water rights
ENG FROM 1
Workshop for farmers, allies is Thursday in Carnation
733553
Water supply for the farmers of today and tomorrow is the topic of a workshop by Sno-Valley Tilth, Snoqualmie Valley Preservation Alliance, Washington Land Trust and the King Conservation District, planned for 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, at the Carnation Library. One of the most important requirements to farm successfully in the Snoqualmie Valley is an available and dependable supply of irrigation water. Although the Valley is surrounded and often inundated with an abundance of water, the availability of that water for agriculture is limited to historic water rights that are publically documented. No one knows for sure how many valid, historic water rights exist in the Valley. What is known is that new water rights are hard to get, and those legitimate, existing water rights, if not utilized, can be relinquished. The state legislature has enacted several ways in which an agricultural community can protect its water rights. But this requires action from a local community. Wishing to initiate the conversation about how to protect local water rights, local farmers contacted both a local hydrologist and the Washington Water Trust, a nonprofit, non-regulatory organization that has worked with farming communities throughout our state. Thursday’s public meeting is an avenue to learn what historic water rights exist, and how farmers and their allies might effectively protect and preserve those rights. Before and after the meeting, there will be a time for one-on-one landowner consultations for those who have questions about the status of water rights on their properties. Any interested person is welcome and encouraged to attend. Presenters at the meeting will be Amanda Cronin of the Washington Water Trust and Bob Pancoast, a Carnation resident, Compass geo-hydrogeologist, and Executive Director of the East King County Regional Water Association. Following the presentations, a discussion of potential options for the agricultural community will be led by local farmers Andrew Stout of Full Circle Farm and Erick Haakenson of Jubilee Farm. This meeting will also be attended by representatives of the King Conservation District (KCD) and King County. To learn more, call Haakenson at (425) 829-1865.

Eng’s wife retired two years ago and he’s jealous that she gets to sleep in every morning; and he’s thinking about the future, both for himself, and the King County Sheriff’s Office. “A lot of people are coming on right now, and they really need a place like North Bend to excel,” he said during a phone interview last week. North Bend, he says, is the kind of place where officers can still do “the community policing thing.” It’s small enough that an officer can walk the beat and meet business owners and residents personally, and “everybody knows everybody, and what’s going on,” he said. “I like that, that’s what police work is all about.” Eng, now 63, found North Bend in 1984, when he was a patrol deputy stationed in the sheriff’s department’s Kenmore-Woodinville-Bothell precinct. This was his second career in the U.S. — his first was in the hotel industry, where he started after coming to America in 1965. Eng was born in China and raised in Hong Kong. He decided to transfer to a position in the city in 1988, and has been here ever since. “I like it so much because it’s got the view of Mount Si, it’s got the elk, the horses, I just loved it out there,” he said. When he came to North Bend, in what he calls “the olden days,” Fritz Ribary was Mayor, and Eng used to set up and watch for speeders at what was then the Tift Haus (now the Pour House). “My pet peeves were actually speeding and stop sign violations,” he said. “I figure if the speed’s down, everybody will be safe.” He spent a lot of time doing traffic enforcement, he said, because North Bend didn’t have a traffic officer, and “in those days, we were writing tickets by the book.” In those days, they were also in downtown North Bend, in a police station, complete with jail, right next to City Hall. Eng, along with his partner Deputy Simon, also briefly had a business in downtown North Bend, which turned out to be a good place to learn even more about the community. The store sold liquidated merchandise, Eng said, and many community members would tell them about local happenings that might interest law enforcement. “It was like a second community office there,” he said. That community connection, and face-to-face interactions, have always been essential to Eng, even as technology has changed a lot about police work. Nowadays he doesn’t go through books of tickets, because he prints them out on the spot, he says, and computers have improved some aspects of the job, but they can’t take the place of talking to people. “I believe in order for you to gain information, you have to get it from the community businesses and residents,” Eng said. “I think that will always be the rule of how to do community police work, regardless of the size of the town.” When he and his partner arrested a man last year who was threatening to blow up a local bank, he says, they “just happened to be in the area, showed up right away, arrested him. He ended up going to court, and the guy was convicted.” Last August, when two teens committed a string of vandalisms and thefts in one night in downtown North Bend, Eng said he and his partner just happened to contact two boys eating lunch at the baseball field the next day. While they were talking, Eng noticed one boy’s backpack bulging with something like 50 nail polish bottles, and they knew they had their culprits. “That’s what cracked the case… later on he confessed,” Eng said. “If we were not at the top of our game, we would have missed it.” Eng has a few cases he’s particularly proud of, involving fraud and drugs, and a few that are just memorable. “All of the crimes in North Bend are all interesting, all funny,” he said. There was the woman
they arrested for hitting her husband with a pair of boots, and the occasional naked man report. One year, he said “about March or so, we had a naked guy running around Riverbend. He’d taken a bunch of drugs or something, and we chased “Everybody him around, back and forth. Finally we tackled knows and put some clothes everybody, him on him,” he said. “Man, I and what’s could write a book!” The book is not in his going on. immediate future plans, That’s what but Eng thinks he will police work do some golfing, some is all about fishing, and maybe take a cruise after retirement. Paul Eng, He knows he will miss the King County Deputy work and his colleagues, especially his Chief of Police Mark Toner. “That guy knows search warrants, he knows everything. I learned a lot from him,” Eng said. “When he has something, it’s not one of those Chinese chef mentalities — the chef won’t teach you how to saute, won’t teach you how to marinate meats — this guy here, he’ll teach you everything he knows.” One of Toner’s first acts when joining the force in 2009 was to help Eng with one technology struggle. “He helped me fabricate a radar holder for my car, so I could write more tickets for him,” Eng said. That was typical of Toner, Eng said. “He helped us with anything and everything, in any old way… He never yells. He’s always goodtempered, and he’ll give his shirt for you.” Toner says of Eng, “He has been the epitome of community policing in North Bend. He will be a tough one to replace, but I wish him well in his retirement plans.” Since he’s been on sick leave, Eng hasn’t been making his usual rounds of the businesses and the Mount Si Senior Center, and his absence has been noticed. “Where is he?” asks senior center director BJ Libby. “I’ve missed him!” Libby said Eng stopped in every week, just to say hi, to talk with the guests, and to check on any issues the center might be having. He’s even given Libby suggestions for her office, she said. “He’d notice that we’ve done all the improvements outside, and he’ll come in and say ‘Wow, you guys are really going after this’” she said. He always makes a point of talking to one guest in particular first, every time, she added. “Just a sweet, sweet man.” Eng says his visits there are the kind of police work that he likes, personal communication and immediately addressing the problem. He thinks residents like it, too, but there may be another reason he’s so popular at the senior center. “Sometimes I go in there, and they know that I play piano, and they wanted me to play some piano for them,” he says, laughing. “I felt so guilty — a police officer in uniform, playing the piano, trying to entertain people!” Eng is also popular in the schools, where he often reads to students or does show-and-tell, or, sometimes like last year, he’s asked to lock up the principal in a mock jail for the school’s walkathon. They’re all things that he’ll miss, he says. “I feel like the North Bend community… is part of my family, and I certainly will miss both the city and the people in it,” he said. Retirement may not mean good-bye, though, since Eng hopes to move to the city some day in the future. In the meantime, he has a few last words of wisdom. “I will miss you all. Be safe.”

Fire destroys home, residents rescued
On his way to a house fire call around 9 a.m. Friday, Jan. 25, a North Bend volunteer firefighter found it, just a few houses down from his own. The fire was burning at a neighbor’s home in the 13600 block of 432nd Avenue Southeast, and the firefighter contacted a resident on the porch. He learned that another resident, disabled, was unable to evacuate. The firefighter then entered the home and rescued the occupant from a bedroom, where he saw flames. All of the other people inside were able to evacuate themselves. Firefighters with Eastside Fire & Rescue (EF&R), and mutual aid units from Fall City and Snoqualmie responded by 9:13 p.m, and additional fire engines and medic vehicles were requested as backup. Heavy flames could be seen in the home’s living room, and the fire was burning through the roof. When the fire burned through, responders, hindered by access problems within the house as well as the size of the fire, shifted their response to a defensive approach. Most of the home was destroyed. The cause of the fire is believed to be accidental, but the King County Fire Investigation Unit was investigating the incident Two occupants of the home were treated for minor injuries, then transported to a hospital for further evaluation.

New RR crossing for North Bend’s Main Street Photo courtesy Northwest Railway Museum
730901
A smoother, safer ride is the result of Northwest Railway Museum’s reconstructed rail crossing on Main Street in North Bend, finished last week, This fix is mainly a road improvement, says Museum Executive Director Richard Anderson. However, a new welded rail installed as part of the project allows an increase in the warning time for the signals on Bendigo Boulevard. The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission awarded a $20,000 grant toward the welded rail and its installation to allow the increase in warning time for Bendigo Boulevard. The city of Redmond donated lightly-used crossing panels from its rail removal project. The museum chose the 30 best panels for use in North Bend and was able to secure them for the cost of shipping. New panels would have cost over $30,000. The project experienced a bit of a setback in November of last year when rails the Museum had arranged to purchase from the Redmond rail removal project were scrapped instead. The balance of the over $50,000 cost is being paid by the museum. This is a big expense, Anderson says, but shows the scale of investment needed to keep the museum in operation. Work was done by RailWorks, local contractors Asphalt by George, and Imhoff Crane. Northwest Railway Museum is located at 38625 S.E. King St., Snoqualmie.

Letter to the Editor
Terrible fire showed how a community comes together On Friday night, January 26, our home of 54 years was burned to the ground by fire. We lost everything. My son is in Snoqualmie hospital, my brother is in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with burns. We lost two dogs and two cats. But we are thankful. Our family was safe. My family wishes to thank the King County Sheriff ’s Department; the firemen who did their best; the volunteer fireman who helped my 76-year-old brother; who is unable to walk, from the burning house; the mayor of North Bend, who called in the fire and also purchased a pair of shoes for my wife; the American Red Cross, for their help in buying us clothing and a hotel room; the ACE Hardware people who came forward with their offers of help and of food. I am grateful to the people who all did their best. I have lived in North Bend 55 years, and there are no words I can say. This town has been a great, helpful and caring one. Again, my family cannot say enough about the efforts to save our home. Respectfully, John Perazzo, Sr., and wife Freida North Bend

Secrets of the ‘Citizens of the Year’ ould you be a ‘Citizen of the Year’? There’s no reason why not. Take a lesson from Nela Cumming, North Bend’s Citizen of the Year, and Danny and Robyn Kolke, the recipients of the Business Owner of the Year nod. Nela’s a social worker for Encompass, running that children’s organization’s Pediatric Therapy clinic for the last two years. She often volunteers at schools during her lunch breaks, and serves as a translator for local Spanishspeaking families. She’s inspired by the blessings of life, like our Valley’s natural set- Seth Truscott ting, and in her own background, Valley Record her mother stressed education as a means of betterment. Nela was Editor a big reader as a kid. She’s also inspired by seeing, firsthand, people overcoming challenges or tragedy to succeed. One might see Danny and Robyn as typical business owners, but their business is about way more than food, drink and service. The restaurant, a hub of live music in North Bend, is also an important facet of music education in the Valley. They do a lot. Danny directs a middle school jazz band, started the Boxley’s Music Fund and the Future Jazz Heads program, giving students a chance to play. The Kolkes do the Downtown Block Party, started last September’s jazz walk, and plan a blues walk. The Kolkes set out to make “a place that we could feel comfortable with our kids,” says Robyn. They took the leap, and included young people from the get-go. It’s hard to imagine Boxley’s without the youth focus. And it’s hard to imagine North Bend without their establishment. Service to youth and families are a common thread for Nela, Danny and Robyn. So is the impulse to make a difference, which they follow through into action. All three citizens are inspired by a sense of belonging—they treasure this place. As Danny told Carol Ladwig (See interview on page 7), it’s a natural fit: “I hear it from people all the time, it’s so amazing to find a place like this in a small town...Where else would I put it?”

Twenty-year commitment By Seth Truscott Editor
Massengill studies with foundation award Mount Si High School graduate Jonna Massengill received the 2012 Careers in Healthcare scholarship award from the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Foundation. This fall, she began her pre-nursing curriculum at Washington State University, with a goal of becoming a physicians assistant specializing in surgery. This marks the seventh year the foundation has awarded scholarships. “It also nicely dovetails with the Hospital District’s ongoing outreach to local schools, both high school and college,” says Foundation President Jim Schaffer.

After a 20-year career in North Bend, Jill and Scott Massengill, of Straight Chiropractic and Park Street Healing Arts, have found their dream location. They opened their business, originally Sno-Valley Family Chiropractic Center, this month in 1993. Below right, the Massengills with new baby Danielle (now in college) when they got things started in North Bend. Jill and Scott celebrate their anniversary all week with an open house.
It doesn’t feel like 20 years, not for Scott and Jill Massengill. But this married couple, both chiropractors, get a sense of how time has passed when they see the children. “We’ve got kids we started taking care of when they were babies. Now,” like their own daughter Danielle, “they’re in college,” Jill says. Thursday, Jan. 31, marks the 20th anniversary of the Massengills’ practice in North Bend. They’ve followed their healing profession on the same street, moving once—last year. They started Straight Chiropractic the same month that Danielle was born, in January of 1993. Jill came to this job from a young age. As a girl growing up in Michigan, “I wanted to be a doctor,” she said. “I had a fiercely independent streak.” While thinking about what kind of a doctor she’d be, a cousin introduced a teenage Jill to a chiropractor, who showed her how to palpate the spine. “I thought it was neat,” she said, and later tried it herself to cure up some bad headaches. After high school, Jill did the prerequisite training and graduated from chiropractic college at 24. Scott had a different track to the profession. An Air Force brat who traveled the world, Scott was readying for medical school when he decided to take some time off, teaching skiing. He rode the lift with the wife of a chiropractor, who got him excited about the practice. Scott and Jill met in chiropractor college, and moved to North Bend, which was the best of both worlds to the couple, both avid skiers and rock climbers. “We get to be close to Seattle, a beautiful, open-minded city, and super close to the mountains,” Jill said. “We’re active, outdoors people. The Valley has everything we need.” “When we decided to come here, it was a decision based on wanting to grow with a community,” Scott said. That’s exactly what happened. The post office staff, previously located across the street from their office, in the old days would know most every customer by sight, and hand mail across the counter. “It had a real small-town feel,” Jill said of the community. Their time in the Valley doesn’t feel like 20 years—more like 10, says Scott. Jill said their commitment to the Valley stems from a strong fit with the community and with their calling. “I’m really independent and a free thinker,” she says. “Doing our own thing suits my personality. “Chiropractic itself is a relaxing and healing profession,” she added. “I think I was destined for it. I love what I do, every single day.” “We love the area, we love working here,” says Scott. “The people have been so supportive.” The Massengills spent 19 years at Straight Chiropractic’s Main Street location in downtown North Bend before moving a few blocks to their new home, Park Street Healing Arts, last July. The Massengills have not looked back following their move to their own building at 318 Park St., the completely remodeled site of a former resident and the Children’s Center of North Bend. The childcare center’s playhouse out front was donated to a family, and the Massengills transformed the yard, adding a parking area on the side.

Campbell leads comeback for Wolves’ big win Cedarcrest’s varsity girls basketball team continues to find success, with two big wins last week, including a nailbiter in which leaders played hard. On Tuesday, Jan. 22, numberseven state-ranked Cedarcrest hosted sixth-ranked Archbishop Murphy, with a 10-0 record, in a Cascade Conference matchup. At halftime, it was Archbishop Murphy leading 28-26. Cedarcrest got into foul trouble in the third quarter, and Murphy took a 12-point lead going into the start of the fourth quarter. But pressure defense by the Lady Red Wolves and nine points (including two three-point shots) by senior Kailyn Campbell ignited a Cedarcrest come back. With 26 seconds remaining and down by one, the Red Wolves ran a play and got the ball to their leading scorer, Susan Kenney. She took a jump shot in the key with four seconds remaining and drained it for the win, 50-49. Both teams are now tied for first place in the Cascade Conference. Kenney scored 19, Campbell added 13 and Sarah Stauffer had 11. Then, on Friday, Jan. 25, Cedarcrest travelled to Granite Falls and won, 75-21. Cedarcrest is now 11-1 in league, 16-2 overall.

Mount Si girls find lessons, tout teamwork in narrow Mercer loss, Totems win By Seth Truscott Editor
Finding ways to come together and stay on top has been the Mount Si girls basketball team’s quest this past week. The team took the lead but then struggled in the Wednsday, Jan. 23, home match with Mercer Island. But they put it all together on Friday, hosting Sammamish. The Wildcats fell 55-46 on Wednesday. Mount Si led 32-25 at halftime, thanks to strong play by Madi Bevens in the first quarter—and the rest of the game— and a Grace Currie three-pointer. But Mercer Island steadily chiseled into that lead, and closed things out on the ‘Cats in the fourth quarter. “We have to be positive about some things,” said Currie, a senior guard, following the game. “Our first half, we came out strong and we were leading. That was a really big deal.
“We just need to learn to pick it up in the second half, make sure we continue that lead and get a win.” “We started strong and we were working as a team,” said sophomore guard Elizabeth Prewitt, who had a bit of an off night for shooting. “We were moving the ball, we were boxing out, getting offensive boards, pushing the ball. In the second, we dipped down and forgot our fundamentals.” “Mercer is strong,” said Coach Megan Botulinski. “If we just let up a hair, they snuck right in.” Currie praised the sophomore Bevens for doing a great job rebounding and putting back up shots, and singled out both Katy Lindor and Katie Swain for their effort seeking those shots. Swain played tough and aggressive: “She was a big difference in the game tonight,” said junior Molly Sellers. “Swain always works hard,” added Lindor. “She’s blocking and rebounding. It goes unnoticed. But I have a big shout-out for her.” Mount Si’s leading scorer, Lindor is cutting well, and her teammates are getting her the ball. See PAINS, 8

Boxley’s owners honored as Business Owners of the Year By Carol Ladwig Staff Reporter
It’s a Wednesday night at Boxley’s, and owners Danny and Robyn Kolke have got a small but growing crowd, about a dozen students ready to perform, and a musical hero on stage. “Chris Clark is a legend in the jazz world,” Danny says, gesturing to the smiling man in the beret, warming up on a string bass. “He’s our bass player tonight.” Yup, it’s a typical weeknight at Boxley’s Place in North Bend. The restaurant, open three-anda-half years now, has live music every night, brings in famous names to perform and teach on a regular basis, and was just named one of the best venues for live jazz again this year by DownBeat Magazine. Most importantly though, it’s also exactly the place that the Kolkes wanted to create. “We didn’t set out to make the best jazz venues list,” said Danny, echoing his comments from a recent speech, when he accepted North Bend’s Business Owner of the Year Award. “We kind of set out to make it a place where we would like to be, which was family-friendly,” continued Robyn. “A place that we could feel comfortable with our kids (Leslie, James and Daniel).” “There aren’t many jazz venues that you can take kids to,” finished Danny. And for Danny, jazz and young people definitely do mix. A jazz pianist himself, Danny recorded his first album at age 19, not much older than one regular performers at his club, now. He decided against a musical career, because he didn’t want to live on the road, and because of his father’s advice. “He said ‘Look down the road and if there are any musicians that have the lifestyle that you want, maybe it’s possible. But if they have lousy relationships with their kids and wives, maybe you’ll end up in the same place.’” That made Danny’s decision clear, but not easy. He consoled himself with the idea of starting a jazz club some day — just the idea, he confesses. “I never thought it possible.” Instead, he started a family, a company (Etelos), and a career in software development, moving to North Bend from Seattle in 1998. Not quite 10 years later, they started talking about a jazz club in earnest. Robyn, a classical musician in college and now a full-time mom, was a little surprised by Danny’s jazz dreams. “I remember sitting on the bench across the street,” Robyn told Danny, “and you said, ‘So what do you think about starting a jazz club there?’ And I said, ‘Tell me more.’.” After many more conversations, the couple made the leap, and created Boxley’s Place (www. boxley’splace.com), home to live music seven days a week, and several programs to foster aspiring musicians. In addition to Danny’s volunteering to lead the Twin Falls Middle School Jazz Band II in the early mornings, he has brought them to his club to perform, and learn from other jazz legends in the Future JazzHeads and JazzHeads programs. The club added a vocal workshop for high school students to the schedule (Mondays), a student jazz trio accompanied by Danny on piano (later Mondays), the Aaron Tevis Project band, named for and led by a Mount Si High School senior (some Tuesdays), and has grown the JazzHeads programs (Wednesdays).

Danny and Robyn Kolke, front, share the stage briefly with middle school students performing for Future JazzHeads, Wednesday nights at Boxley’s. The Kolkes were recently named North Bend’s 2012 Business Owners of the Year. “I hear it from people all the time, it’s so amazing to find a place like this in a small town,” says Danny. “Where else would I put it? This is my town, we love living here. The rain gets a little old, but other than that…” “We have people who come because they like to see young people performing,” says Robyn. “They like hearing the kids get involved.” She adds that she’s seen students develop real confidence, and comfort here. “There’s no getting used to being on stage without a stage,” she laughs. Tonight’s performers, some of them his students, are still warming up when a distracted Danny says, “I’ve got to go start them.” He does, with a few instructions, and then the band is off and swinging. The start of their show highlights another winning feature of Boxley’s, the acoustics. Guests have a choice of the main dining room right in front of the stage, or the adjoining, but quieter bar with cozy seats and a huge stone fireplace. “I think jazz is best served in this venue-type, a small restaurant, a stage off to one side… this is how, the best recordings in jazz history I think were made,” says Danny. It goes without saying that they’re live recordings, since bringing live music into the community is at the heart of Boxley’s musical efforts. It’s why the couple created last September’s JazzWalk, and will coordinate the upcoming Blues Walk April 20. It’s also why, on Boxley’s first anniversary, they proposed creating the Boxley’s Music Fund, a non-profit fund to help pay for live music at community events like the Block Party (www.boxleymusicfund.com). “It’s not just here,” Danny says, “Our goal with the music fund is to support the community.” With about 100 families holding memberships in the fund, Danny says it’s “been a really big success story for us.” The fund also donates a portion of membership fees to music programs in the Snoqualmie Valley School district, helping to foster the next generation of musicians. The restaurant does still have its ups and downs, but Danny, still working at his software company during the day and at the club with Robyn in the evenings, has basically fulfilled his dream. North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing, after congratulating the Kolkes on the Business Owner of the Year honor, added. “I shouldn’t have congratulated them, because they earned it. They earned it by doing things that they didn’t expect recognition for, which is, I think, the whole meaning of the award.”

Three nights of shows at Finaghty’s Pub anniversary party, Feb. 7-9 Every year, in celebration of its anniversary, Finaghty’s Irish Pub in Snoqualmie hosts a special music event: Finapalooza. This year’s event includes three nights of live music. Tickets are available at the pub and online at Brown Paper Tickets. Cost is $5 for Thursday night, $12 for Friday and $18 for Saturday. Three-day passes are also available.
Thursday The Thursday, Feb. 7, lineup includes Rane Stone at 9 p.m. Stone is a west-coast based singer and songwriter. He’s currently the front man for the local Seattle rock band Klover Jane and mastermind behind Seattle metal band Years of War. At 10:45 p.m., it’s The Bomb Squad. Covering everything from Nine Inch Nails, to Queens of the Stone Age, to Rob Zombie and Britney Spears, this power foursome has a long history on the cover band scene both locally and up and down the West Coast.
Friday On Friday, Feb. 8, music begins at 8:30 p.m. with Fox and The Law, a Seattle-based blues, garage and rock band with a no-BS, no-frills philosophy. At 10 p.m., The Fabulous Johnsons take the stage. Led by former ‘Bad Company’ bassist Lynn Sorenson, the Johnsons will unleash their own brand of classic rock. At 11:45 p.m., Randy Hansen plays. The music of Jimi Hendrix lives on in Hansen’s tribute, celebrating the guitar hero’s legacy.
Saturday On Saturday, Feb. 9, Keith Scott gets things started at 5:30 p.m. This veteran Chicago-
To The Glorious Lonely based bluesman returns to kick off the Saturday show travelling straight from the Midwest just for Finaghty’s party. At 7 p.m., The Voodoos perform their unique, energetic brand of rock. From Ireland by way of Duvall, this four-piece band consists of Mark Daly (vocals), Nick Greatrex (guitars, vocals), Mick Bogan (bass), and Fionn Hennessy (drums, vocals). At 8:30 p.m., Ben Union plays. This rock band began with a jam session at Seattle’s Union Station and has since become a group to be reckoned with. At 10:30 p.m., the show continues with To The Glorious Lonely. Formed by ‘LOADED’ bassist Jeff Rouse in 2008, the all-star band just finished their first record featuring Shawn Zellar on drums, Valley resident and Everclear alum Davey French on guitar and Gary Westlake on bass. At midnight, The Hipsters, a Northwest cover band, play their “solid ground-pounding, hip-grinding rock and roll.” Featuring Jess Hamilton (lead vocals), Jason Starkey (bass, vocals), Tod Hobart (drums, vocals) and Craig Cessna (guitar, vocals) they perform solid dance rock that you know and love.
OPEN HOUSE!
PAINS: B-ball growth FROM 6
STRAIGHT FROM 5
Lindor echoed the need to stick through to the final buzzer. “Once they adjust, we need to figure that out, and keep fighting through the second.” After dealing with injury, four-year varsity player Sellers played her first full game back in a month, and had several shooting opportunities. She was glad to be in it. “I want to see us be successful, play like we did tonight, just try to make the playoff game,” she says. On Friday, Jan. 26, Mount Si held on to claim a win over the Sammamish Totems at home, their second on that team, 59-53. Lindor had 16 points, and Currie had 11, sniping for three three-pointers. “When we work together, we push the ball ahead, we incorporate everybody in the offense. We’re able to put the ball in the hoop,” says Prewitt. With just a few games left in regular season play, she wants to see this team end the season “by taking steps forward, working toward finishing strong, finishing as a team.” Botulinski is proud of the effort and athleticism her girls have shown. Younger players Camryn Buck and Bevens have had huge roles. Buck is a defensive specialist, very quick, and Botulinski has been able to substitute her in on fast opponents. She came off a successful varsity soccer season and is used to the intensity of this level. Bevens, Mount Si’s sophomore guard and post, is an upand-coming force on this team. She is a transfer from Union High School near Vancouver, Wash., working wing and post. Even though she’s smaller, she has great post moves. Bevens was singled out during the team’s tournament trip to San Diego, Calif., where she was named player of the tournament at the Surf N’ Slam Holiday Classic in San Diego, and a player of one of the games, as well. “I was just giving it my all. I guess they saw that,” she said. Against the physical teams, “scrappiness pumps me up,” the sophomore says. Rebounding from a cold, like many on the team, she has a lot of fight in her. Right now, “We’ve all got to come together, all at the same time,” Bevens says. “It shows when we do.” Mount Si is now 6-12 overall, 3-9 on league. The team hosts Juanita at 5:45 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31.
The former garage became a classroom space for weight loss support groups and classes like dream-board making and yoga. “It was always our dream to own our own building,” Jill said. “We had been looking and saving for the right space. We couldn’t find the right building.” Finally, after North Bend’s new water rights eased the way, the Massengills found their new home, and got a zoning change, called a limited commercial overlay, to allow their business. Today, besides Straight Chiropractic, four other businesses call Park Street Healing Arts home. There are several independent specialists, three massage therapists, and 13 total people work here. The building’s transformation is marked by a green-and-red yin and yang symbol in the lobby, a former greatroom. The yin and yang, a Chinese symbol for balance, has always been Scott and Jill’s symbol. “Chiropractic is more based on eastern ways of thinking, when it comes to health care,” Scott says. “The yin and yang fits with that.” “Our wedding cake was a yinand-yang,” Jill said. • Straight Chiropractic and Park Street Healing Arts are located at 318 Park St., North Bend.

Old theft: At 12:16 p.m., a citizen came to the police station about a theft that occurred a year ago. He said a chainsaw had been stolen from the back of his pickup truck, but he hadn’t reported it since he didn’t have the serial number. He later found the number and wanted to file a report.
Friday, Jan. 18 Road-unready: At 11:10 p.m., an officer patrolling the Snoqualmie Parkway near Better Way Southeast saw a vehicle with a cracked windshield, broken side mirror, and broken right tail light.

Police told him not to drive until his license was reinstated. ‘Stupid’ shoplift: At 6:36 p.m., store security called police to the 7700 block of Center Boulevard Southeast, where they had detained a shoplifter. The security officer told police he saw the subject conceal a bottle of Jim Beam in his jacket and a bottle of orange juice in his jeans pocket. Police arrested the man, who later confessed, saying he had been sick and had no money, so he “did something stupid.”

BUS: Service in transition FROM 1
Carol Ladwig/Staff Photo, left | Below, Seth Truscott/Staff Photo
Left, David Egan and his service dog, Wekota, wait for the Access van up the hill from his Ames Lake home. Egan, who is blind, is an advocate for public transit in his neighborhood. Below, riders board Metro’s Route 224 in Carnation. This leg is one of the least used of Valley bus rides.
When Route 922 was canceled three years ago, Egan and his neighbors had one less public transit option. The changes continued. Last October, facing budget cuts, Snoqualmie Valley Transportation cut its dial-a-ride service in the Lower Valley, including Ames Lake. Now, King County Metro Transit is taking a hard look at the options and economics of its Valley routes. The fixed route between Duvall and Fall City may end up going—or evolving. “The ideal situation for people here, including myself,” Egan says, “would be to have Metro contract with Snoqualmie Valley Transportation to run dial-a-ride service” to and from Ames Lake. Such service is a possibility—if not for Ames Lake, then for neighbors along Highway 203. If talks now under way continue, some Lower Valley residents might be boarding a Metro-funded, SVT-driven bus in the distant future. That’s one of several options, ranging from contracts to van pools, being discussed as Metro reconsiders the Valley’s transit picture.
New shapes King County Metro Transit is nearing the terminus of a fivemonth process to shape future transportation services in the Valley. “It’s an opportunity to do things differently, and make things better, for people who ride, and people who don’t,” says Matt Hansen, Metro’s supervisor for market development. When the King County Council approved Metro’s Strategic Plan for Public Transportation in 2011, the council charged the transit agency with finding ways to run more efficiently. Last September, the county adopted Metro’s Five Year Plan for Alternative Services. Now, Metro is finalizing a proposal, to be put out in early February, for a demonstration project in the Valley that deploys new ideas that go beyond fixed-route buses. “What the county council told us to do was spend our money more effectively,” Hansen said. “We have two goals: provide mobility at a lower cost and save money.” Most Valley routes have healthy ridership, but one Lower Valley stretch in particular is a low-performer, and may see New transit change. proposal up for “We think we’re going to discussion at two put in something better,” says Hansen. meetings The Valley is one of four test The Snoqualmie Valley is poised areas, including Vashon Island, to become the first area in Redmond, and southeast King King County to see a package County between Enumclaw of redesigned transit services, and Maple Valley, for transit which Metro says is aimed to alternatives to be tried in the meet the needs of locals. next four years. Metro began working with Once the new Metro plan is Valley residents last fall to finished, the agency will send identify transportation options it out to the public and stakethat are more cost effective holders, hold public meetings, and better meet the needs and then submit an ordinance of residents and riders. The for approval by King County Snoqualmie Tribe has also been Council. an important partner. Metro’s hope is to build these alternatives into its standard Now, proposed options will toolkit, says Hansen. be discussed at two upcoming meetings: The routes • Thursday, February 7, 6 to The busiest local bus, 7:30 p.m., at Cherry Valley Route 209, which connects Elementary School, 26701 Snoqualmie and North Bend Cherry Valley Road, Duvall. to the Issaquah Transit Center • Monday, Feb. 11, 6 to 7:30 with 28 trips a day, is safe. On p.m., at Fall City Elementary average, 130 people get on the School, 33314 SE 42nd Street, 209 daily between the North Fall City. Bend Park and Ride and Preston. Metro’s proposal includes “That tells us it’s pretty good adjustments that reflect usage,” Hansen says. “Any time residents’ request to see all you’re talking about 150 peoday service to Snoqualmie ple a day, in this environment, Ridge—a growing residential it’s pretty good.

Issaquah with five trips, carries about 90 people daily. “The 215’s doing fine,” Hansen says. A long-term objective, he added, is to increase service in the growing areas of the Valley, including the Ridge. But King County’s Route 224 is not so healthy. This route, which terminates at Fall City and connects that community with Carnation, Duvall and Redmond, runs every hour and a half on peak times, picks up about 30 people daily between Fall City and Carnation, with another 10 in Duvall. Metro surveyed riders of routes 209 and 224, and found that people use the bus mainly for work and school, but also for shopping and errands for medical trips. Riders put a priority on the bus getting them to the same places they ride to, today. Secondary priorities were to have fares stay the same, and then to improve the frequency of routes. Riders also seek more service on weekends. The 224 run between Fall City and Carnation, says Hansen, “costs a lot of money and doesn’t carry a lot of people.” Currently, Route 224 costs about $28 per ride. That’s substantially more than the average of $5 per rider across Metro. “Ultimately, we’re going to contract to provide that service at a lower cost,” says Hansen. Snoqualmie Valley Transportation is being looked at as that contractor.
SVT’s role
BJ Libby, SVT’s executive director, said her agency is interested in working with the county. Who else would be better suited? Libby asks. “We need transportation in the Valley, Upper and Lower, desperately,” she told the Record. “I know people are counting on us. I’d love to accept the challenge, if it comes about. “We’d have to have funding,” Libby added. Financially, the Valley transit agency is holding the line after last fall’s route cuts. The group is in frequent meetings about resources with Valley cities, and recently received funding from the Snoqualmie Tribal Council. With six drivers and four vans, SVT is ready to hire more drivers. Libby says she has several strong candidates, and also has a number of ideas about how best to grow the service, including Saturday trips. But revenues need to be there for any expansion. METRO currently provides Snoqualmie Valley Transportation with about $42,000 a year in funding to ensure youth and low-income access to transit. SVT has been fully involved in the future-shaping process, says Hansen. Linking SVT with Metro would have its complexities. “When you operate as Metro, you’ve got to have a fare box, you’ve got to have an ORCA reader, you’ve go to have transfers that are compatible with the rest of Metro,” Hansen said. “That’s a whole level of complexity that you’ll have to work out. The service has got to be open to the general public.”
“We know how to do this,” he added. “We just have to have a new partner be up to speed.” Hansen spelled out how cut to Route 224 would free up dollars for other services. Such options could include van-pools or a community van, parked at Carnation, where qualified, volunteer drives could take people to the local food bank, Costco, or take Boy Scouts on trips. In Lake Alice, where Egan lives, Metro has been interested in starting some ride-share programs. That’s being done independently from the latest alternatives, says Hansen. Between Hopelink, Mount Si Senior Center and the SnoValley Senior Center, Metro partners with a number of agencies operating in the Lower Valley. Hansen sees possibilities there, with partners growing a better “spine” of transit that could ultimately help residents of places like Ames Lake “We need to look at how all these different service partners coordinate, so that we get the best use of all resources in the Valley,” he said.
David’s ride Today, if Egan wants to get to town for his job managing rental properties, and not trouble his friends and neighbors for a lift, he uses Metro’s Access Transportation Service. Access, which uses vans to provide rides for people with disabilities, requires at least a day’s notice. Egan then waits, in the elements, on his road for the van. A short wait is five minutes. A long wait is an hour. “I’m glad it’s there, and I’m thankful for it,” he says. “It’s better than nothing.” But it’s far from ideal “for guys like me that have to be in different places and at different times.” Egan believes his Ames Lake community still wants and needs bus service. He or his neighbors have reached out to the bus agencies in the past, for example, pushing to get SVT to expand service to their neighborhood. “We’ve had so many false hopes and so many tries at it,” Egan said. He attended a public meeting, held by Metro last November in Fall City, to look for options. “I was hoping Metro would be receptive to working with Snoqualmie Valley Transit,” perhaps with a dial-a-ride service for a start. Egan accepts that most people take travel for granted. He can’t. The old fixed-route 922 bus offered him the most independence, but it wasn’t without its problems. The route never had strong ridership. “Seven riders were regulars,” Egan said. “Some days it was just me.” For years, he caught the bus early, around 6 a.m., and Volunteer drivers caught the return route home needed to help 12 hours later. county’s elderly To Egan, there are pros to public transit.

A handcrafted gift showing the bond between the people of Snoqualmie and their sister city, Chaclacayo, Peru, is now on display at City Hall. A retablo is an altarpiece that represents the festivities and joy celebrated by the people of the Peruvian Andes. This colorful piece was created in Ayacucho, Peru, and given to Snoqualmie as a gift. It depicts the nativity, a bakery, a hat shop, a ceramic shop, musicians, and the making of the altarpiece’s wooden doors. It also shows people dancing in a traditional Peruvian festival, called Yunsa. In this festival, they decorate a tree with blankets, plastic containers and colorful balloons. Retablos are made from a wooden box that is hand painted. The colorful doors are adorned with floral motifs. Each figure is made with a paste of ceramic and then

HEROES: Art gift FROM 1 Through Reagan’s work, families can look into their loved ones’ eyes again.
The donation For nine years, through thousands of portraits, Reagan has been the giver, helping fallen heroes come home. No one has ever done anything like this for him before, Reagan says. Not like how the student body at Snoqualmie Middle School came together to give the artist’s Fallen Heroes Project a $1,652 boost. Tom Burford, a social studies teacher at Snoqualmie Middle School, helped start the drive with a group of students. In the wake of Veteran’s Day, last November, Burford and his charges set a goal of collecting $700, good for two months worth of art supplies for Reagan. “We blew through that pretty quick,” Burford said, collecting more than $1,650. Burford met Reagan at an FBI Citizen Academy meeting last year, and was impressed by the artist’s passion to remember the nation’s servicepeople. Burford showed a video of Reagan’s work to his Veteran’s Day committee students, and they decided to help Reagan. The same video (viewable at www.fallenheroesproject. org) struck a chord when it was shown at the school’s Veteran’s Day assembly. “There was no hesitation,” Burford said. “They just grabbed hold of it. They got it. They understand what it must be like to have lost someone.” The students recognize sacrifices made by the military, including their lives. They learn about it in history classes, Burford said. During the coin drive, the biggest donations came from the sixth grade class, but every class stepped up. One student completely emptied his personal bank of about $230. “I had no idea where this would go,” Burford said. “We were all impressed. Everyone involved was touched.”
Gift of love
In the graphite portraits, the faces look out at the viewer. Many are in uniform, most are men, but “there’s a lot of women,” Reagan says. He does them one at a time, two a day, mailing them out every Tuesday “I draw the work as if it’s the only one I’m doing.” Reagan has had a widely varied career. A retired director of trademarks and licensing for the University of Washington, he was the team artist for the Huskies for 31 years. Forty years ago, fresh out of Vietnam, Reagan finished art school and wound up working for a Seattle venue called the Cirque Playhouse. He drew portraits of the artists and guests, and enjoyed the good life, with seats for dinner theater.

Above, Michael Reagan’s portraits send fallen soldiers, from around the world, home to their families. His work also helps this Vietnam veteran’s soul come home. Portraits pictured include, from left, Isaiah Hunt, Chris Falkel, Maurice Johnson, Katherine Martin with Austin Martin, Kimberly Diane Agar, Matthew Soper, Shawn C. Edwards. Below, teacher Tom Burford, with Reagan, and students Sarah Bosworth, Hannah Waskom, Mady Privatsky, Claire Lis, Allie Urbasich and Kallin Spiller, during a January 18 visit to Snoqualmie Middle School. These eighth grade students, on Burford’s Veteran’s Day committee, led the winter fundraiser that provided several months worth of supplies for Reagan’s Fallen Heroes portrait project.
“I was spending time with all the celebrities coming into town,” Reagan said. When the Cirque closed in 1981, Reagan had an idea. “If I’m going to be with Harrison Ford, doing his portrait, and if I can get his autograph for four blank boards, I can draw the portraits and donate them to charity.” That project snowballed, and soon Reagan was doing autographed portraits of superstars of every stripe, from actors and musicians to presidents and the Pope, raising more than $10 million. A televised news spot on his work sparked the Fallen Heroes Project. A Boise woman learned about his portraits and asked for one of her husband, a medical corpman who had died in Iraq the year before. “I told her I was a Marine Vietnam combat veteran, and corpsmen were the bravest people I knew, and I would do it for free.” When she received the portrait, she called Reagan, and they talked. “She… told me that in a year she hadn’t slept a full night through,” he said. Receiving the portrait, “when she pulled it out of the envelope and looked into his eyes, she connected with him again. She said she was able to finish some of the conversations left undone with his death, she was able to tell him she loved him, and felt him say he loved her. Then she told me thank you because last night was the first night in a year she had slept all night.” Reagan has made some real connections with families. He doesn’t want this country to forget that there is a war on, and people are dying.
“All the Gold Star families are incredible,” he said. Most are in great pain and yet allowing him to step in and try to help. “They are trusting me to not hurt them more then they already hurt,” he says. “I had a mom ask me one time why I wanted to share in their grief. I said I didn’t feel like I was doing that. I felt like I was sharing in their love. “A Gold Star dad called me one night, a year after I did his son’s portrait,” Reagan said. The man asked him why he does it. “He asked me that question, but he had the answer and wanted to be sure I knew. He told me this work was allowing my soul to come home from Vietnam. He was right.” Reagan uses color on rare occasions. When a solider, who later died in the line of duty, wrapped his baby daughter in a flag for a family photo, or when a boy is being carried from his father’s funeral, “how could I not do the flag in color?” For Reagan, this work is personal. The 65-year-old has never taught an apprentice to take it over because “they won’t be me. When I’m gone, it ends.” For him, the Fallen Heroes Project will stop, “the day before someone needs to draw my portrait.”
Students’ legacy Reagan got to meet SMS students at an assembly on Friday, Jan. 18. The six eighth grade girls who Burford chose to be on the Veteran’s Day commit-
tee watched Reagan’s reaction to a check for an amount three times bigger than he expected. “We’re all very proud of our school,” said Ally Urbasich, one of the committee members. “A small thing can make a huge difference,” added committee member Mady Privatsky. “It showed how much we can do together.” On the final day, to boost the total, Burford challenged every student to bring in a dollar. “I know almost everyone brought a dollar that day,” said Privatsky. “The whole school contributed.” “We’re not going to have a school next year,” said eighth grader Claire Lis. “But this, knowing that we did it, is still going to be here. The thing he brought,” a special artwork for the school, “that’s going to go with Mr. Burford wherever he goes.” “It’s a way of carrying on our legacy,” added Sarah Bosworth. For every $11 of the donation, Reagan can send a portrait home. He’s touched by the generosity. This donation “helps me get a part of something lost, home to their families,” he says. “This isn’t for me, we work for free, its for them. I tell them to be proud that they care enough to do what they did to help.” “This sort of thing happens rarely,” Reagan said. “I’ll never forget.” Learn more about the Fallen Heroes Project at www.fallenheroesproject.org.

Women’s shelter is transformed by volunteers
As the Acres of Diamonds women’s shelter has changed the lives of hundreds of women over the years, volunteers have been transforming the Duvall shelter. The shelter, established in 1995 as a a transitional Christian home for homeless women and their children, has relied heavily on community support in the past year. Unexpected budget cuts early in the year led to staff layoffs and a reor-
ganization for the board of directors. Volunteers from local churches, school and service groups have stepped in to lend a hand, commit-

tification projects at Acres of Diamonds. They’ve painted, built a new play structure and done landscaping projects, and provided administrative help in the office, as house moms, and as mentors. “The women residing at Acres of Diamonds have been deeply touched by the outpouring of support our program has received from so many of our community members,” said program director Peggy McNamara. “Not only do they appreciate the time, donations and efforts given by the many volunteers, they are also inspired by the genuine care and compassion they witness time and time again, as children, teens and adults one by
one ‘show up’ in their lives.” The need for community support is ongoing, and community members can contribute in several ways, including tax-deductible donations of money, volunteering time and talents, or donating necessities such as paper goods, cleaning supplies, firewood, bedding, furniture, clothes and toys. For more information, visit the website at www.acresofdiamonds.org. Acres of Diamonds (AOD) was established in 1995 and has served hundreds of women with counseling and daily support and guidance to help break the cycles of addiction, poverty and homelessness.

...obituaries Suzanne S. (Deane) Ruppert After a long and arduous battle against tonsil cancer, without complaint, Suzie passed away on January 13, 2013. She was born in Anacortes on June 2, 1953 to Lavern and Ila June Deane at the old hospital. Joining two older sisters they lived on 12th street in Anacortes until 1958 when her father was building their house on Lake Erie. Moving to the “lake” with her sisters and younger brother, Greg, Suzie set out on many adventures with her neighbor and lifelong best friend, Nel Dunton. Her grandmother,Tillie Deane lived at the end of the lake and she spent much time there with Greg and their cousins. The building of “forts” in the woods, swimming, and playing with her friends was much of the enjoyment of Suzie’s childhood. She started school at Fidalgo Elementary in 1958 and went on to graduate in 1971 from Anacortes High School. Work always played a big part in her life. Suzie picked strawberries as a child and always had part-time jobs. She saved and bought her own cars and had spending money for college. After high school she attended college at Western Washington University and Skagit Valley College. Suzie married Pat Lowry in 1977 and her daughter, Erin was born in 1979. In 1977 she started, owned and operated “Suzie’s Kitchen” restaurant at 7th and Commercial in Anacortes. Selling the restaurant in two years and later divorcing in 1981, Suzie started work part-time at the Anacortes office of Puget Power. During her 30 year career with Puget Power (later Puget Sound Energy) she was a ground breaking and much praised employee. She was the first female meter reader in Anacortes and the first wire helper in Whatcom County. Suzie was the third female wire apprentice in the company and the third female journeyman wireman in the company. In 1995 she transferred to System Operations as the second female to do so and stayed in that capacity until her death. Suzie loved her job at System Operations. She was very careful and detailed about her work and
enjoyed the camaraderie with the field crews. She made many friends there and they continued to support her during her illness. In 1999 Suzie met and married Mark Ruppert. They remodeled their house in North Bend and she lived there until her passing. Suzie loved gardening, both flowers and vegetables and was particularly proud of “her yard” and received many compliments from passersby. She loved to travel and had made it to many countries. Suzie always thought of Skagit County as her home and owned property on her beloved Guemes Island for over thirty years. She loved the beach and hunting for agates. Suzie loved the sea and would kayak for hours with the seals. She loved bicycling and riding her “Yamhahopper” with her sister, Sheryl. Suzie loved crabbing and clamming and making fresh chowder. She was an excellent cook and particularly baking pies and cookies. Suzie was preceded in death by her mother, Ila June and her sister, Sheryl Jones. She is survived by her husband Mark Ruppert of North Bend; father, Lavern Deane of Guemes Island; her daughter, Erin Lowry of Renton; granddaughters, Kyndahl Peterson and Kamiryn Peterson; step-daughter, Alice Ruppert of Duvall; step-son, Mike Ruppert of Denver; granddaughter, Sophia Ruppert; grandson, Samuel Ruppert; brother, Greg Deane; and sister, Diane Rosellini; and many wonderful nieces, nephews, and cousins. A special thanks to Suzie’s cousin, Kaaren Malson and husband, Jim for their unfailing love and support. Also to Suzie’s best friend, Nel Krueger and husband, Mark and her whole extended family, whose love, prayers, and support have just meant everything to her.

Burn ban lifted for King County
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency lifted the air quality burn ban in King County on January 21. “We are lifting the burn bans in King and Snohomish Counties because winds are picking up and temperatures are warming,” said Dr. Phil Swartzendruber, agency forecaster. “But Pierce County is still under the influence of cold and calm conditions, which could cause pollution to build up in areas where wood-burning is common. We need to keep a Stage 1 burn ban in effect to protect air quality in those communities.” “We encourage everyone who doesn’t rely on wood heat to use instead their home’s cleaner source of heat until weather conditions change.”
Clean Air Agency staff follow a protocol set by state law to determine when and where to issue a burn ban, and when to lift a burn ban. During a Stage 1 burn ban: • No burning is allowed in fireplaces or uncertified wood stoves. Residents should rely instead on their home’s other, cleaner source of heat (such as their furnace or electric baseboard heaters) for a few days until air quality improves, the public health risk diminishes and the ban is cancelled. • No outdoor fires are allowed. This includes recreational fires such as bonfires, campfires and the use of fire pits and chimineas. Burn ban violations are subject to a $1,000 penalty. It is OK to use natural gas, propane, pellet and EPA-certified wood stoves or inserts during a Stage 1 burn ban.
