FESTIVAL
Giant neighborhood campout, or rockin’ outdoor music festival, either description of “Timber!”, returning to Carnation next month, works, but it doesn’t quite cover the level of comfort that is the goal of its organizers. “We just want to put on great parties that we, ourselves, have fun at,” said Kevin Sur of Artist Home, which created and hosts Timber.
The event, which debuted last year at Tolt MacDonald Park, is part concert, part family affair, part whatever participants want it to be, but all “a celebration of the Northwest,” says Sur. There’s the beautiful setting, 540 acres of Tolt MacDonald Park and the Snoqualmie River, and the outdoor opportunities, ranging from nature walks to talks with astrophysicists.

The investigation of a stabbing and sexual assault on a North Bend woman earlier this year is ongoing, Snoqualmie Police say. “Investigators are still actively working on leads related to the incident at Jay Berry’s,” said Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist. Police would not offer additional details, to avoid any risk to the investigation of the case. The incident was reported shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday, March 9, and triggered a joint investigation of the Snoqualmie Police Department, which had just begun covering North Bend two days earlier, and the Major Crimes Task Force. The victim was found raped, with her feet and wrists duct-taped, and a stab wound in her chest. SEE ASSAULT, 22

Find the courage Two Rivers School’s Class of 2014 overcomes challenges to complete its academic journey STORY AND PHOTOS BY SETH TRUSCOTT
A
young mother with a 1-year-old baby, Sarah Webb didn’t have a driver’s license. But she did have a bike. So, every morning last summer, she loaded her little son, Elliott, into a trailer, then hopped on her bike for the twomile ride to Two Rivers School. “It took some getting used to,” Webb said of the commute. “But I needed to get to school.” Webb, like many of her classmates in the Two Rivers School Class of 2014, had to face a challenge to get to this moment. “After I had him, a lot of people told me I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t graduate. I had to prove them wrong,” she said. “And I did it.” On Wednesday, June 11, she marched with her class in commencement exercises at Chief Kanim Middle School. Two Rivers faculty shared the accomplishments of 17 graduates, 13 of whom were present. All were commented on and praised.
Boomerang CrystaRain Orton eventually needed a box of tissue to daub the tears that came after not just one, but three scholarships were awarded her. “Two Rivers is unique among schools, and I can safely say CrystaRain is without exception one of the most unique students I have ever taught,” commented teacher Jack Webber. “She marched to her own drum.” Orton has a long history there. She first arrived at Two Rivers as a 2-year-old, playing in the child care center when her mother, 1995 alumna Tara Bookter, took classes there. Orton attended two years of middle school at Two Rivers then six of high school. “She stands before you tonight as a testimony to perseverance,” Webber said. “After being ready to quit, convincing herself she would never make it, she would gather courage again and again, and return like a boomerang, looking forward, being positive, doing whatever it took to succeed.” Orton told of her transformation, from “a high school student who couldn’t care less about attending school, who would storm out of classrooms, who was notorious for breaking her own fist, into the positive, hopeful woman I am.” Orton is known around the school for her creativity and writing skill. In an assignment for Two Rivers middle-school teacher Joe Burgener, Orton built a working boomerang, but never completed the attendant writing assignment. All through high school, whenever she asked for her boomerang, Burgener insisted on the assignment. Finally, Orton was told the boomerang was lost. At commencement, Webber revealed it, and handed it to her at long last. “I got the boomerang!” Orton said. Now planning a career in cosmetology, she thanked peers and teachers who have her love and support. “If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t be standing on this stage,” Orton said. “I’m sure Two Rivers is going to be a lot quieter without me around.”
Helping each other “I enjoy goofing around,” said graduate Mitch Puff, during his moment at the podium. “But this year, I had to focus on my work more than in past years.” He praised his great friends, parents and teachers who believed in him. Same goes for Allen Scribano and Terra Asper, who are both moving on to culinary school. “I had a lot of friends that helped me along the way,” said Asper. Two Rivers “is an all-around great school,” said Scribano. His peers and Terra, his girlfriend, “help get you through.” In her address, principal Amy Montanye-Johnson shared some of the similarities this graduating class has. Some needed a smaller school environment, a place to overcome tragedy, and some faced obstacles that interrupted learning. Each overcame their hesitation. “You showed dedication and committment to yourself, your family, your learning, your goals and your future,” she said. Burgener always watches to see who of his original middle schoolers finish the long trek to graduation.” “It’s a long trip for them,” said Burgener. “They’ve come a long way… It makes me really proud to watch these guys.”

Mount Si 2014 grads celebrate new beginnings STORY AND PHOTOS BY CAROL LADWIG
If senior speeches are anything to go by, then the 344 graduates of Mount Si High School’s Class of 2014, have a pretty good sense of who they are. They recognize the irony of sitting down in the morning to a breakfast their mothers made for them, on the day they “officially” enter adulthood, and they see the world of possibilities ahead of them, thanks to those who came before them. Co-Valedictorians Duncan Deutsch and Lydia Petroske touched on technology a lot in their joint speech, both the silly side of it — an obsession with selfies, and a reminder that “SIRI doesn’t save lives in Africa” — and the opportunities, not just for careers in technology, but for changing the world, through technology and the Internet. “Do we not see the change in impact we can have?” Deutsch asked his classmates. Petroske urged them all to “follow your dreams… unlike any other generation before us, it’s really not that hard to do.” And technology was everywhere in this graduation. The ceremony was streamed online for the first time this year for those who couldn’t get into the stadium or auditorium, or who didn’t want to risk the downpour that grey skies threatened, but never delivered. A pair of iPod earbuds was seen dangling from at least one grad’s neck, and the audience was a sea of mobile phones snapping photos. One student kept her phone handy so she could take a post-diploma selfie with Principal John Belcher and a friend. After the ceremony, people were either hugging and snapping photos, or had phones to their ears shouting “Where are you? I’m by the…” above the din. Low technology had its moments, too, though. More than one parent came to the ceremony swathed in plastic garbage bags to keep off the rain, and the seniors followed the tradition of handing the principal something (this year, it was a toy foam dart, although one boy pulled a candy bar out of his pocket) to fill his hands while congratulating students. And when everyone had their diplomas, the early celebration began with the release, and eventual recapture, of some beach balls among the graduates. No matter how many cameras captured the scene, the most important part, the one that will endure at least as long as those digital images and Facebook posts, were the moments themselves. Cheers from family members as the graduates’ names were called. An impulsive hug for Belcher after a boy accepted his diploma. The junior friends and teammates that found Trevor Daniels on “their” football field one last time. When Hannah Hayes, toting a “Go Alanna” sign in one hand and holding her phone to her ear in her other, finally found her sister and gave her a hug — still holding onto everything else. Mount Si High School will remember the Class of 2014 for still other moments, enumerated by Salutatorian Marcus Deichman and Principal Belcher during their presentations. Eleven seniors were applauded for entering military service: Beau Shain, Devon Wattenbarger, Ryley Absher, Hunter Conway, Tye Rodne, Jackson Foster, Camden Foucht, Matthew Everett, Alexander Schiekle, Velvet Weber and Keldon Back. Seventeen were singled out for earning both their high school diplomas and associate’s degrees through Running Start. Another 161 students were recognized for academic honors denoted by gold or silver cords and grade-point averages of 3.8, 3.5 or 3.25 for their entire school careers, and 55 were recognized for earning the Washington Honors or Principals Awards,presented to the top 10 percent of students in state.
Eight National Merit Scholars were recognized; when Belcher said they were in the top 5 percent of the 1.5 million seniors graduating this year, an awed murmur rippled through the audience. Emma Bateman and Boone Hapke were recognized for being amoung in the top 1 percent of seniors, and Hapke was honored as a U.S. Presidential Scholarship semifinalist. The Wildcats also had an amazing year in extra-curricular events, Belcher said, listing the seven sports teams that went on to post-season play, as well as the school’s Knowledge Bowl team placing fifth in state competition, the sports medicine team earning the 12th spot in national competition, Rachel Mallasch’s second-place win in a national video competition, and the Mount Si Jazz Band’s selection for the Essentially Ellington Festival at Lincoln Center, New York. Belcher congratulated the class and sent them off with the words of Mark Twain: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Going wild at Fall City Days Another successful all-ages party for river town Clouds couldn’t shut down the smiles Saturday, June 14, at Fall City Days. The volunteer-run street fair, parade, live entertainment, fun run, and all-town party drew a crowd, like always. The theme this year was “Still Wild,” and wildness did reign at the annual Watermelon Eating Contest. Youths and adults were fed by the local Young Life hosts. As always, the hungriest diners won. Andrew Harris, who won the teen eating event, trained all year for this—”Working hard every day in sports, doing extra in track, just to build up to this moment—building up my metabolism so I could just process all that watermelon,” said the 16-year-old. Another wild moment was the afternoon’s Duck Derby, when the ducks actually started going the wrong way at first. With the river low, the little squeakers actually started heading upriver, before volunteers moved the boom and helped them catch the current. The flotilla then headed downriver and into a plastic chute, where Kevin Hauglie grabbed the first couple dozen prize-winners. Proceeds from Fall City Days help fund local schools, community groups and charities.

Fighting hunger, one CROP Walk step at a time The annual Snoqualmie Valley CROP Hunger Walk, held Sunday, May 18, was a huge success. This year was dedicated to the memory of Bill Melton, who brought the international fight against hunger campaign to the Snoqualmie Valley 15 years ago. More than $6,600 was raised and $1,650 will be donated to Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank. The CROP Walk planning committee and the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank would like to thank everyone who participated, including the following business sponsors for their support: Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center for their space and assistance with the walk; Snoqualmie Ridge Family Dental; Jeff Warren State Farm; Snoqualmie Valley Eye Care; Aahar Indian Restaurant; Kirby Nelson Orthodontics; Eric J. Opsvig DDS; Down To Earth Flowers and Gifts; Hearing Enterprises (Scott’s Dairy Freeze); Pioneer Coffee; Chaplins North Bend Chevrolet; North Bend Bar And Grill; Peak Sports and Spine; The Bindlestick; Cascade Dance Academy; Snoqulamie Ridge Veterinary Hospital; Ana’s Family Mexican Restaurant; Safeway; QFC; Blue Valley Meats; and Birches Habitat. The walk’s planning committee included representatives from Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church, St. Clare’s Episcopal Church, Snoqualmie United Methodist Church and Mount Si Lutheran Church. Success has many measures. We had an extra-special walk day experience this year, because there was a combined worship service at the Meadowbrook Interpretive Center before the walk, which was beautiful, collaborative and conveyed the true meaning and value of our efforts of time, talent and treasure and how they truly make a difference in the lives of people thousands of miles away. We were not able to do our annual car wash because of damage to Les Schwab with the recent explosion, but we more than made up for that with the generosity of local and even non-local businesses (Blue Valley Meats is out of Walla Walla). Linda Velebir and I spent countless hours pounding the pavement reaching out to businesses and following up. We have to be persistent. I am pleased at the partnerships we’ve been forming with some of the businesses, who know what we are doing and generously support us each year.

• It was a most unusual North Bend city council meeting on June 6. In the end, the Si View planned development was approved on Mayor Fritz Ribary’s tiebreaking vote. Seconds later, there was a unanimous decision directing the city to pursue purchase of the golf course near Si View for development. • The locally infamous Maskrod’s Corner (State Route 202 at Meadowbrook) was the scene of two more auto accidents. On June 12, a North Bend motorist failed to yield and struck a motorcyclist. A day later, a driver did the same, striking another car and sending a woman to the hospital with injured ribs.

With the school year coming to an end, a DUI fatality collision simulation was presented at Mount Si High School to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving. Car accidents are the number one cause of death for teenagers, representing more than one-third of all mortalities, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Teen drivers are three times more likely than more experienced drivers to be in a fatal crash. Following the demonstration, students watched a video presentation in an assembly, highlighting the aftermath of the tragedy, including a simulation of the emergency room scene and a remembrance of the young lives. “The DUI mock crash is a sobering reminder to our high school students of the life altering dangers of underage drinking and driving. This is a particularly important message around high school graduation,” said Snoqualmie Police Chief Steve McCulley. “Parents need to remember that it is against the law to host an underage drinking party. Not only is it illegal, it sends a completely wrong message to our students and also places the parents in a very adverse civil liability situation.” The mock crash was presented for Mount Si High School students through a partnership of the Snoqualmie Valley School District and the Snoqualmie Police and Fire Departments.

Upping their game Women in Business creating growth, opportunity for sixth year It’s a new year for Snoqualmie Valley Women In Business, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for collaboration, networking, personal growth and community leadership for local business women. Now in its sixth year, Women in Business has adopted the theme of “Up Your Game” for the year, and continues to fine-tune its offerings to meet the needs of nearly 100 members, like the networking exercise that’s been added to each meeting, or the social event and accessory swap planned for June 17 at Glass & Bottle on Snoqualmie Ridge. “We’re trying to do more after-hours events,” said membership co-chairperson Michelle Comeau, “and you don’t have to be a member to come.” Upcoming events include after-hours gatherings July 15, Aug. 13 and Sept. 16, at Pogacha in Issaquah, Big Fish in the Issaquah Highlands and Sigillo Cellars, respectively, plus the monthly lunch meetings July 9 and Sept. 10 at the organization’s new "home" Boxley’s Place in North Bend. The group is also narrowing its focus in the area of community leadership. After launching the community kindness Pay it Forward campaign in 2012, Women in Business realized they had to “streamline” their community involvement, as membership cochair Mary Lou Dreher put it. “So many of us here are already involved in community projects.” Pay it Forward is still a project for Women in Business, but the Kiwanis Club is taking the lead, said project founder Debby Peterman. The ladies will do a food drive and clothing drive for the week, set for some time this fall, but will keep its primary focus on its annual high school scholarship awards, and semiannual support of OneVoice events. As the group continues to grow and evolve, look for one thing not to change. "That’s the thing our members have told us, the networking is critical."

Asking the right questions Chamber President wants to hear from local businesses BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
Throughout much of her career, Peggy McNamara has had the answers, or at least known where to find them. She has been a corporate director of education, a real estate agent and “kind of a clean-up girl” brought in to restructure struggling offices. She teaches online classes on real estate, and in the past year, she finished a major reorganization of the Acres of Diamonds women’s shelter in Duvall. In her newest volunteer role, though, McNamara has none of the answers, “but lots of questions,” she says. McNamara, a Carnation resident for four years, was elected president of the Carnation Chamber of Commerce in March, and since then, she’s been working steadily on answering the biggest question facing the group: What do its members, numbering only in the 50s although the city reports more than 300 businesses total, want? “I think for a Chamber, especially this size of a Chamber, one of the greatest challenges is what do we do to bring value to the business owners,” she said, “and how can we really help them?” A slightly different version of that question — how she, herself could help an organization in town as a volunteer — is what brought her to the Chamber earlier this year. She’d just resigned as the interim director of Acres of Diamonds (she’s still on the board) and was ready to volunteer her energies somewhere else, she explained, so she went to Kim Lisk, then-president of the Chamber, chairperson of the Carnation 4th of July Celebration, and owner of Swim with Kim. “I said, ‘Hey Kim, there are three things in town that are looking for help. One is the Swiftwater (HOA), one is the Fourth of July, and one is the Carnation Chamber. So where am I most needed?’” McNamara said. “And she said ‘The Carnation Chamber,’ and that’s how I got involved!” Actually, it’s how she got invested. McNamara was elected president at the first meeting she ever attended of the Chamber. She laughs and says she knew it would happen that way — not because she was a shoo-in, but because she’d talked with Lisk, and because most small organizations struggle to find people willing to commit to greater involvement, and the Chamber had been fairly inactive for several years. Now, three months into the job, McNamara said she is making a more conscious effort to meet the local business owners and “it’s been really interesting getting to know people.”
PEGGY MCNAMARA There’s a lot more of that ahead for McNamara and the Chamber as a whole, she expects, as they essentially rebuild the organization. “We want to put into words our value proposition,” McNamara said, and to do that, “I hope to start having conversations at the social, and certainly it requires conversations with the members.” The social, a free event for members and prospective members June 19 at the Dog Mountain Farm to Table Store, is part of the multi-pronged approach McNamara is using to bring new energy to the Chamber. A new database and a revised Chamber website, due to launch this month will help improve communications, she said, and she hopes to host an educational event this fall, once she find out from the business owners what they’d like to see. Revitalizing a small Chamber of Commerce seems like an uphill battle, but McNamara is undaunted, and even optimistic. “There are three or four new businesses in Carnation in the last few months … and that’s really encouraging to see those open up,” she said. Learn more at http://carnationchamber.com, or stop by the social, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday June 19 at the Dog Mountain Farm to Table Store, previously Sliders, on Tolt Avenue in Carnation.

Catch up with Sharon Nikko, co-owner of Snoqualmie’s venerable Candy Factory BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
The question wasn’t meant as a joke, but Sharon Nikko couldn’t stop laughing after being asked how her employees like working at the Snoqualmie Falls Candy Factory. “I don’t know, we’ll have to ask!” she finally said, still chuckling, then she called out, “Hey, Barb! She’s asking me if my employees enjoy working here!” Barb McClain an employee of 16 years, gave her employer an exasperated smile and said, “That’s a silly question!” “Hey Cam, do you enjoy working here?” Nikko asked another staffer. Cam Pham who’s been making candy at the shop for 20 years — two years longer than Nikko and her husband, Wes Sorstokke have owned the business — shrugged off the question. “Yes! That’s why I’m here!” “They’re wonderful people to work for,” added
taffy, nut brittles from the same recipes his parents had used running their own candy shop in San Francisco, and they still use those recipes today. “I didn’t change a thing,” Nikkos said. “It’s really very much the same place it was 16 years ago. I think he had a good thing going, and we carried it on.” She did reject one of LaFranci’s ideas, though, for the cafe side of the business. “He just did candy,” she said, “…and he told us, ‘Oh, you don’t want to do (the cafe), you just want to rent that out to somebody else.’ and I looked at it and thought ‘No, I think I will take that!’” After all, she laughed, “It’s what I do.” For most of Nikko’s life, she’s been doing some type of restaurant or service work, going back to when she graduated from Issaquah High School. Her first job was bank clerk, and her next was waitress. She was a checker at Safeway, and, in a very exciting stage of her career at Safeway, she was chosen as one of 13 checkers to open the corporation’s first barcode-scanner store in the state. Cashier experience, she thinks, is what got her the job, “and maybe they were looking for a certain personality.” That’s what Nikko looks for when she’s hiring for the store. There are usually about eight part-time people on staff, and a few more in the busy summers, and each of them has to have something that makes them stand out. SEE NIKKO, 12

Later, she worked in the Mount Si Transitional Learning Center to help older students, aged 18 to 21, get ready for adult life. Raising her son, Greg, who is now 26, and was born with Down’s Syndrome, prepared her for this work. She also took classes to grow her skills. Yet even with a full-time school job, it was tough making ends meet as a single mom. “When my husband died, I had three boys at home. The youngest was 5,” she said. “It brought us together tight as a family. The boys had to do some growing up that most kids don’t need to do right away... I learned I had a lot of support people around me. It made me more aware of and appreciative of my community. I had a lot of people to pull me up when I needed it.”
North Bend home-based businesswoman Bev Jorgensen helps Relay for Life, makes her own mail-order path
Always bring a box of tissues to the Relay for Life committee meeting, says Bev Jorgensen, half-jokingly. There’s often a few tears and a lot of stories to share. Jorgensen, a 27-year North Bend resident, a local businesswoman and chairwoman of the Snoqualmie Valley Relay for Life, knows the bittersweet nature of her chosen cause. Thanks to Relay, she frequently makes an instant connection with people. “People have a tendency to come to you because you’re wearing that Relay hat,” she said. “They know you’re going to support them, you’re not going to be afraid, push them aside.” For her, this calling brings rewards of the heart. “It’s such a blessing,” she said, “watching people be able to see the light, see there are people who care.” For the last eight years, Jorgensen has been the well-known local face of the PartyLite mail order business. Before that, as a newly widowed mother of three, she worked with special education students as an employee of the Snoqualmie Valley School District. She has coached youth soccer and worked as a supervisor for a few Valley restaurants.
PartyLite relationships
Working in the Valley Jorgensen and her family moved to the Valley from Wyoming in BEV JORGENSEN 1987. Today, “it’s home. I would never leave,” she said. Her family’s life soon changed. Bev’s husband, Carl, died in 1992. Raising three sons, she had been mainly a mom until that point. She was working for a restaurant at the outlet mall, part time, as an assistant manager. Prior to that, she had helped Mar-T Cafe owner Pat Cokewell as a supervisor. “I worked there for a year when the Twin Peaks craze hit,” Jorgensen said. “She was overwhelmed.” The line out the door, of people wanting a cup of coffee or a piece of pie from the cult show, would stretch to the railroad tracks. “It was crazy!” After Carl died, she had to make a change. Jorgensen went to the Snoqualmie Valley School District, where she started as a substitute teacher, then worked as a support employee for the special education program. She got full-time status in 1993. At Mount Si High School, she worked in classrooms to help students “who needed an extra push.”
NIKKO FROM 11 “You’ve got to start with personality,” Nikko said. “You can train them to do nearly anything, but you need … someone who thinks work is fun.” Especially at the Candy Factory, she said, because people come there for more than the hand-made caramel corn, fudge, taffy, nut brittles, and other sweet treats. “I tell employees that customers usually come here to have fun. They bring their kids and they want their kids to have a fun time,” she said, “so I just tell (employees) to be natural and have fun.” The shop has seen very little employee turn-
over in Nikko’s tenure, and she’s grateful for that, since she worked so hard to keep it that way. She was used to juggling more than one job at a time, so when the store needed to downsize three years ago, it was actually an easy decision for her. “We had too many employees,” she said. “Really, somebody had to go. But I really liked all of my employees, and I really didn’t want to lay off anybody, so I thought, ‘ok, I’ll go.’ So I went out and got a second job, and kept the employees.” Her second job, also considered full time, is in sales at Macy’s. It’s a nice change of pace from the shop, where she serves as bookkeeper and weekend cashier, but not the
Londi Lindell • Gina Estep • Susie Oppedal
“retirement job” she used to dream about. “What’s funny is years ago, when I was working hard in grocery stores, I thought, ‘I can’t wait till I’m older, when I can retire and just have this easy job at Bon Marche where I’d be standing there folding towels.’ Now that I’m there, I know that’s not a true picture!” Hard work is not a problem for Nikko, who is used to multiple jobs, or, in the case of the candy store, two jobs in one. Her double workload even includes the 21 years she worked at Safeway’s corporate offices, in the IT department. “While I worked at Safeway, I also had a second job waittressing,” she recalls, with a deep sigh. “I can’t wait to
retire!” she says with another laugh. Nikko isn’t entirely sure what retirement will look like, but said “Wes will definitely sing (in a popular barbershop quartet) and coach, and I will definitely have more time in my yard… that needs attention.” She’s also not sure when it will happen, partly because she really enjoys her work—all of it. “Your work ethic never changes,” she said. “You’re always trying to make things better…. and in order to own a business you have to be really passionate about what you do. If I didn’t love this, I’d be out of here.” Learn more www.snofallscandy.com, 8102 Railroad Ave. S.E., Snoqualmie, (425) 888-0439.

North Bend’s management team includes three women with plenty of municipal business savvy. Londi Lindell, the City Administrator is responsible for working effectively with the Mayor to implement the City Council’s vision and policy and generally run the day to day operations of the city. Londi has over 19 years’ experience in municipal management, and is also a licensed Washington State attorney. Gina Estep, Community and Economic Development Director oversees the city’s planning and building departments and Economic Development. Gina is responsible for the branding and recreational tourism campaign, block party, together with many new outdoor recreation events and other economic development related efforts. Gina has over 18 years experience as a City Planner and Municipal Manager. Susie Oppedal, City Clerk, serves as the clerk of the City Council providing public access to city records, the administration, and the policy-making processes. Susie also effectively manages the city’s contracts, public records requests, claims, special event permits, and central services. North Bend is extremely fortunate to have these talented women in municipal leadership positions.
Ending her work day at 3 o’clock, she headed out to the soccer field, where she coached. There were a lot of late nights due to games. “It was taking a toll on me, and a toll on the boys, because they needed a mom.” Jorgensen had watched friends go into direct sales. Soon, she was exploring the idea of going into the mail-order business herself. Today, she has been a saleswoman with PartyLite home-decor business for eight years. She’s found great success in this line. In 2006, when Greg finished school, his mother retired from the district. “We graduated together,” she said. Since then, Jorgensen has worked for PartyLite, and the Snoqualmie Valley Relay for Life has been her charitable focus. For women thinking about trying the mail-order business for yourself, Jorgensen has some tips. “Search for the one that’s going to fit you,” she said. “Do your homework. Make sure you’re not getting into something that’s going to cost you more than what you’re making, because there are some that will do that. If you’re going to make an investment, make it wisely and don’t take it out of your family budget.” “My biggest reward is the relationships that have been built throughout,” Jorgensen said. “I have so many friends, who have become my closest friends, that I’ve only met by doing PartyLite.” Right now, her main impact on the Valley comes from her work as the event chairwoman for the Relay for Life. She works with “an incredible committee” that has become like family to her. “Everybody takes their role very seriously,” Jorgensen said. “We have very compassionate people.” The best way for newcomers to Relay for Life to get started is to hop on a team. “If you want to feel the waters, you can find a team that’s already there,” Jorgensen said. There are 38 teams signed up for the Snoqualmie Valley Relay for Life on July 12. The goal for 2014 is 40. • You can learn more about Snoqualmie Valley Relay for Life at snovalleyrelay.org.

Growing young readers Meet Snoqualmie Children’s Librarian Jenifer Loomis BY SETH TRUSCOTT Editor
Jenifer Loomis comes over with a pile of children’s books in her arms. Monkeys, rabbits, bears, awkward kids and cartoon superheroes gaze out from the colorful covers. These aren’t old classics, either, these are the latest hot children’s books. And Loomis, as the Snoqualmie Library’s Children’s Librarian, is making sure kids and parents know all about them. “Grown-ups just need to check out the kids’ section,” she says. “If you haven’t looked at what there is, you’re missing out.” Loomis has been introducing reading to Valley children, through storytimes, songs and lots of one-on-one time, since 2005. What’s a good day for her? “If I’ve had a chance to work directly with kids, shared a book with them, answered a question, encouraged them to feel like the library is a welcoming place,” Loomis said. “If a parent comes up after story time and tells me, ‘That was really fun!’”
Getting started Loomis fell into this career serendipitously. “I was one of those people

rhymes and songs—when that lights their fire, they’re going to want to read. They see that learning is fun. That’s the key to being a lifelong learner and reader.” Loomis is certain there are more people in the Valley who could benefit from library programs.

who was interested in too many different things,” she said. “I kept changing my major.” She ended up majoring in French, but, without an advanced degree, she wasn’t any closer to a specific career. “That led to some soulsearching,” said Loomis. In a conversation with a friend, libraries came up. Loomis then met a librarian, and her enthusiasm was contagious. Soon, she was enrolled for a new degree at the University of Washington. “That landed me in a great area for libraries,” she said. “King County Library System is the cream of the crop, one of the biggest and busiest in the nation.” A lot of study goes into becoming a librarian. It starts with the requisite graduatelevel degree. “There’s a lot that goes into that conversation with someone, when they come up to you and say, I need X,” Loomis said. “Oftentimes, X is not what they need. You have to get a clear idea of what it is they’re seeking. That’s an art. Connecting a book to the right person requires a lot of listening and dialogue, as well as knowing the books—whether you’ve read them yourself or are just aware of something. None of us read everything.” With so many wide interests, Loomis at first thought she’d be a reference librarian— “you get all kinds of questions, it’s fascinating.”

Snoqualmie children’s librarian Jenifer Loomis shows some favorites. But a class to fill a gap in her schedule put her on a different path. Dr. Margaret Read MacDonald, children’s librarian at Bothell, taught that class on storytelling, and for Loomis, it was transformational. Loomis discovered that she wanted to work with children, and get kids excited about books and stories. She started with a substitute shift at the Redmond Library, while doing children’s story times on a contract basis at Sammamish’s library. That booming community, with its many young families—and parallels to Snoqualmie—honed her gifts. When a full-time children’s position opened up at Snoqualmie in the spring of 2005, she took it.
In those days, stories were told at the old, small library downtown. “I am always excited when I see patrons who have been with us since then,” she said. “They made the trek to the old library, and came on up here when we opened the new one.” She works with kids from birth to fifth grade, so she’s seen a lot of faces come through her program. “I feel like I’ve had the chance to get to know this community,” she said. “I watch kids as they grow up.” It makes a difference if kids can get to know their librarian, Loomis says: “They need that consistency and familiarity.” What keeps her doing this? “I love seeing the delight when a child finds a story, a book, or for the younger ones,
On a busy day, she gets upwards of 70 young people and parents filling her room. “It’s a little bit intense,” she says. She’s learned from experience how to keep her audience engaged and happy. “When things start to fall apart, we stop and sing a beloved, familiar song,” she said. “It’s amazing how ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ will bring a hush over the room. It’s magic.” Beyond the story room, her work takes her out into the community, to preschools, Bookmobile visits, and performances at the North Bend Farmer’s Market. “There’s been a big push in recent years to get out in the community and reach those people who don’t know about us,” she said. She advises prospective librarians or others interesting in working with young readers to “get out there” and get a sense of the work. “That was the key for me, the moment I got in a room full of kids, and read a story with them, seeing that enthusiasm. It was very clear,” Loomis said. “You have to love it. You have to enjoy kids to do it.” “There’s still a place for children’s librarians,” she said. “Kids need a person to help connect them…. People have been doing the right things with kids for hundreds of years. There’s a lot of research that tells us, ‘Yes, you should read to children, you should sing to them.”

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

There are options for guided kayaking runs or just splashing in the river, and “we’re even going to do an outdoor movie at some point,” Sur said. Then there’s the unusual approach the organizers are taking, which Sur admits is “kind of the opposite of the normal showgoing experience.” So, only 3,000 tickets are available for the July 24 to 26 fest, to keep the event from getting crowded, and the food and drink vendors were specially selected for both their variety and affordability. Family-friendliness is built in, too. “Children under 12 are free,” said Sur. “We put the root beer garden right next to the beer garden,” and the program includes shows specifically for kids in the morning. “The rest of the music is music that adults would really like, but with a family-friendly approach,” he added. This year’s lineup, like last year’s is large and diverse, and Sur is really excited about it. “This year our headliner singer is a man from New York named Charles Bradley, a man who… was homeless most of his life… By chance, he was able to release his debut album at the age of 62,” said Sur. “It’s a great story and his band has a really great Motown kind of sound.” There’s also “a huge funk band, indie rock, folk music, J Mascis, and the Seattle Rock Orchestra … just a wide variety of genres and styles.” Bands will perform on two stages, both on the west side of the river, but “will never actually be running at the same time,” Sur said. “That’s another kind of difference with our festival. We don’t do that, so everyone has a chance to see every band.” Plus, he says, “You can enjoy the festival in your own way, you’re not kind of forced from one stage to another.” All of this was part of the original plan for the festival, but a new element this year, an extra day, came from the crowd. “I think literally the only criticism we got from people last year was just that they wished it was longer,” Sur said. Last year’s event was just a Friday and Saturday, and the experience — thanks in equal parts to the support of the city and businesses of Carnation and to the audience — was so positive, it was an easy decision to expand. Businesses drove traffic to the festival, and organizers, in turn, sent participants to the local businesses to shop, to eat, and for a special live show at Pete’s Club Grill one night.
indicative of the kind of people that come out to these events.” Tickets for Timber are available online, but Valley residents should pick theirs up at Miller’s for a $10 discount. For each ticket sold to a local, Artist Home also donates $5 to Carnation’s 4th of July celebration. The discount and donation goes back to Timber’s goal of not being a burden and contributing to the community, but also, Sur says, “We hope more locals, more people from the Valley just come and experience this.” Regular tickets are $65 for all three days, or $95 with three days of camping included. Single-day passes are also available. Learn more at www.timbermusicfest.com, and remember Sur’s summary, “It really is comfortable.”

Concert-goers pack the historic barn at Tolt-MacDonald Park in Carnation for a children’s program at the 2013 Timber!, a big-name festival that returns to the Valley in July. “We don’t want to be a burden on any place,” Sur said. The crowd of 2,500 campers and music lovers must have felt the same way, Sur said, because not only did they give many Carnation businesses their best revenue days of the year, they also left their campsites, actually the entire grounds, immaculate. “We took a photo of the grounds a few hours after people checked out, before cleaning crews came in, and it was like no one had been there,” Sur said. Cleaning crews from King County Parks arrived later in the day, “and said there was nothing to clean. It was just kind of

Snoqualmie Rep. Jay Rodne to host telephone town hall June 25 Rep. Jay Rodne, R-Snoqualmie, invites constituents of the 5th Legislative District to take part in an hour-long telephone town hall 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 25. Residents can participate by calling, toll-free, 1-800-773-9429 shortly before the town hall begins. At any time during the call, listeners can get in the queue to ask a question by pressing the star (*) key on their telephone keypads. “Not only will this be a good opportunity to recap the hits and misses of the 2014 legislative session, but a time to hear more about the issues facing our communities and how we can tackle them in 2015,” Rodne said. “My hope is we have a robust turnout because government works best when we have a consistent two-way dialogue.” Residents unable to participate in the call can contact Rodne at (360) 786-7852 or via e-mail at jay.rodne@leg.wa.gov. The 2014 legislative session ended March 13. The 2015 legislative session begins January 12.

She was taken to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue for treatment of her injuries. According to police reports, the victim had closed up for the night at Jay Berry’s, and left the restaurant by the back door when a man forced her back inside. Police arrested a suspect on March 11, but his DNA did not match samples from the crime scene, so he was cleared and released. Police believe the attack was not random, and that the attacker knew about closing procedures at the business. Anyone with information about this crime should report it to the police, (425) 888-3333.

New electronic health record system improves workflow and patient experience at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District recently migrated from Healthland Classic to Healthland Centriq electronic health record system. Centriq, pronounced centric, features improved functionality and a simpler, more intuitive user experience. SVHD went live with the new platform on June 16, 2014. “We moved to the Centriq platform primarily because the Classic system was becoming outdated and the new system has the ability to grow with our organization,” Dr. Kim Witkop, Vice President of Medical Affairs, said. “It is also easier and faster to navigate.” Snoqualmie Valley Hospital was one of the first hospitals in King County to adopt electronic health records in 2006 and achieve Meaningful Use, the primary requirement for receiving Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive payments. Meaningful Use standards were not possible to maintain with the Classic version. Digital records help improve
the quality of patient care in a number of ways. They require less time to update than paper records, allowing providers to spend more time with patients. Patient allergies are prominently displayed and reminders can be activated when certain tests or procedures are due. Plus, transcription errors and handwriting issues are eliminated with digital records. They are also more secure than paper records, requiring individual passwords and limited to staff who have a legitimate “need to know” for treatment, payment or operational purposes. Another benefit is that they can be remotely accessible to providers. “EHRs allow a collaborative care effort in that patient records can be shared, not only within our organization, but across other organizations and with our patients as well,” Witkop said. “The new system will enable us to continue providing excellent patient care while improving productivity.”
Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District staff prepared for the migration with extensive organization-wide training to ensure its success. Since the old and new systems are flowing into a single database, the transition was seamless and no patient information was lost. Future capabilities of EHRs include a web-based patient portal that will enable patients to schedule appointments, ask questions of their physicians, view test results and order prescription refills.
Snoqualmie Valley Hospital is a Top 20 Critical Access Hospital. For more information about the hospital and 5 clinics, visit www.SVHD4.org.
