Dueling gun laws on Nov. ballot
Turning point
BY CAROL LADWIG
Telling the Woods triplets of North Bend apart these days is far easier than it was, say 17 and a half years ago. You could probably do it just by listening to them talk. “I’m the oldest,” says Ursula, adding after the briefest hesitation, “and the smartest, too.”
A split vote on funding part of a business plan for Meadowbrook Farm Oct. 21 followed an expansive discussion among North Bend’s City Council on the city’s investment in, and obligation to, the historic property. The 460-acre farm sprawled along S.R. 202 between Snoqualmie and North Bend, is jointly owned, and funded at an annual amount of $20,000, by the two cities, along with a volunteer group, the Meadowbrook Farm Association. Since the association was formed 16 years ago, the farm has grown into a popular event venue, and beyond the abilities of the volunteer group to manage it, says association President Mary Norton. “We’ve reached our limit in what we can do with volunteers,” Norton told the city council, during the discussion. “I think this business plan will be a really helpful thing for we and the cities to decide what’s the next step.” The proposed business plan is intended to help the partners determine how to increase revenues, staff the facility, and fund it long term, said North Bend planning staff.

Two statewide gun measures will be decided in the Nov. 4 election, Initiative 591 and 594. Supporters of the conflicting initiatives claim they are about gun rights and public safety, respectively, but neither issue is as simple as it sounds. Initiative 591, supported by Protect Our Gun Rights (wagunrights.org), prohibits government agencies, including police, from confiscating citizens’ handguns and long guns, without due process, and does not allow the state to implement a background check policy of its own, but to adhere to the federal standard only. The federal standard calls for background checks on all gun sales made at federally licensed retailers. In direct contrast, Initiative 594, supported by the Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility (wagunresp on sibi lit y. or g ) , calls for more restrictions on gun sales and transfers. The measure would require background checks for nearly all gun sales,

Ursula, Muriel and Frank Woods, pictured with their mother Jean at home, recently turned 18. The North Bend triplets, born in 1996, share a connection but have always had their own identities. Below, a group photo with Jean, brother Tyler and dad Roy, ran in the Valley Record when they came home from the hospital.

POOL FULL OF PUMPKINS “I want this one!” a girl announces to her mom as she chooses a pumpkin in the Si View Pool (above). Si View’s annual floating pumpkin patch was open for business Friday afternoon, Oct. 24, giving children and parents a chance to plunge into pumpkins, swim in the dark, and watch a Halloween-themed movie. Costumed lifeguards kept an eye on the swimmers, including one in the pool, shark fin perched on her head. At left, a “super” lifeguard goes over the rules with swimmers, and below, children line the edge of the pool, waiting for the countdown to end and the pumpkin madness to begin.

Second half of 2014 property taxes due Oct. 31 King County residents who pay their property taxes themselves, rather than through their mortgage lender, should circle Friday, Oct. 31 on their calendars. The second half of 2014 property taxes are due on that date. After Oct. 31, interest charges and penalties will be added to the tax bill. To make the process easier, King County provides several ways for property owners to pay their taxes quickly and conveniently. Tax payments can be made by mail if postmarked no later than Oct. 31. Taxpayers should include their tax statements and write the property tax account numbers on their checks. Or, pay online using King County’s secure online eTax application. Taxpayers may pay with a credit card or an electronic debit from a checking account called an “eCheck.” To pay online or view property tax information, visit www.kingcounty.gov/propertytax.

Blooming space Empty lot redone in plants, gravel parking is coming soon “It looks so good!” said passersby on North Bend’s Main Avenue North October 7. “Very nice!” For the “worker-bee group” who’d just finished planting some 150 plants in a newly cleared city lot, the compliments were just part of the reward. There was also the visible improvement to the 10 by 87-foot frontage, the anticipation of spring and their daffodil bulbs blooming, and the inherent satisfaction of gardening. Plus, with the help of North Bend public works staff to prepare the ground and install the sprinkler system, “it’s the easiest garden I’ve done!” said Lynn Brechtel, a member of the Snoqualmie V a l l e y Garden Club. The club was enlisted to beautify the lot, cleared of overgrown plants and ab andone d buildings in July. Working with Public Works Director Mark Rigos, they planned the garden and bought a variety of plants, many of

them natives, said group organizer Judy Bilanko. “We were looking for a c o m mu n i t y service project,” Bilanko, who declared the group the worker bees, said. The city had recently cleared the empty lot, with plans to cover most of it with gravel for extra city parking. The Nursery at Mount Si
gave the city a discount on the plants — rudbeckia, evergreen huckleberry, Alberta spruce, heather, and mukdenia, among them — and Ace Hardware in North Bend donated 10 bags of compost to the effort. The Snoqualmie Valley Garden Club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, except in summers, at the Mount Si Senior Center.

Gun initiative goes too far Please vote no on I-594. This bill is not about closing loopholes in purchases of firearms, but is about gun control, period. For instance, if I give my guns to my son for safekeeping while I am on vacation, we have broken the law. If I want to teach my wife safe gun handling at any place other than a shooting range, we are criminals. If I teach a youth group about gun safety and let them handle a gun, we are all criminals. That is not about closing Letters to loopholes. the Editor Let’s look at facts. The Snoqualmie Valley Record welcomes Cities that have simletters to the editor.

“It would be really cool. People would get involved, and it would bring back memories.” “I hope so! People might get nostalgic to see their home town on TV.” “I think it will bring more attention to the city. They’re continuing the story, and things are more developed now, so I think it will look really cool with the contrast between the show and now.” Timothy Gomez, Cory Lewis & Jeff Sein Mount Si High School juniors
A vote for Reichert Dave Reichert is the clear choice to represent those in the Eighth District. During his tenure, Congressman Reichert has demonstrated that he has a strong understanding of the issues that matter to the constituents of the district. This is apparent by his numerous endorsements, which include the National Education Association, Washington Small Business Council, the Seattle Times, and major public safety organizations. As a former King County Sheriff, Congressman Reichert demonstrates his commitment to protecting and serving others. The President recently signed into law a package of bills including Congressman Reichert’s legislation to combat sex trafficking of foster kids. The First Focus Campaign for Children recognized the congressman for his extraordinary efforts to protect and improve the lives of youth with their “Champions of Children” award. I thank Congressman Reichert for his leadership on this important issue and wholeheartedly add my name to the many endorsements he has already received. Joan Crecca North Bend

• More than 40 people, including Rep. Rod Chandler, drove 15 miles out the Middle Fork Road and hiked to the river Sunday to dedicate the new Forest Service bridge. Chandler hoped users of the Dinford Creek Trail Bridge would “never hear the noisy crotchrocket” off-road vehicles on the bridge. He has lobbied against ORVs in wild areas.
Thursday, Oct. 29, 1964 • Ten boys, 11 to 16 years of age, have confessed to doing $910 worth of damage to the Northern Pacific railroad in Snoqualmie Oct. 11. The youths rolled a a pushcar of a bridge, threw off water barrels, broke locks off switches and left one switch open at a bridge end, which could have caused a train wreck. • New shelves mean room for new books at Snoqualmie library: 50 new reference books, about 170 juvenile books, adult and youth nonfiction, and new chairs and a table for the Children’s Corner.

Historical society seeks art works by ‘Birdman’
Sasquatch sighting
Fall City Historical Society is looking for art works by painter Charlie Hutchens, a Preston artist locally nicknamed “Birdman,” who created many paintings and pastels of birds around the Valley. One large work hung above teacher Peggy Corliss’s desk at the Fall City school for some years, and is believed to have been lost. “I have the feeling that there are works of his out there in the Valley,” society president Ruth Pickering told the Record. “We would love to find some and be able to photograph them.” So far, the society has only this memory from Wayne Fredeen, formerly of Preston, now living in Alaska: “Charlie Hutchens and his family lived in a large house at the entrance to the Preston YMCA camp, right on the river,” Freeden wrote. “He was in charge of the camp for many years—I would guess mid-’40s to mid-’50s— would go to schools and make presentations on birds, could whistle like many of them and would paint rocks with bird images on them and give them to the kids. Charlie Hutchen’s would do bird presentations are schools and could whistle, mimic most all bird species calls. He was the YMCA custodian for the YMCA park that is still active in Preston… He would do oil paintings on round rocks we would get out of Raging River and they were priceless. Would be amazing if one could find any of these creations today. He was a fine gentleman.” Contact the Fall City Historical Society at PO Box 293, Fall City, WA 98024, or fallcityhistorical@juno.com.

TRIPLETS FROM 1 “She says that all the time,” says Frank (his family calls him by his middle name, Lowell), imitating her, “You should listen to me, I’m the oldest.” Muriel, the third of the North Bend triplets who recently turned 18, just laughs. That “smartest” jab may have stung a little, but the privilege of being the oldest doesn’t mean quite the same thing among siblings born only a few seconds apart. Eighteen years ago, Oct. 11, 1996, the Woods family of Roy, Jean, and their 6-year-old son, Tyler, doubled in size. They had known Jean might have multiple births with her second pregnancy—she was an identical twin, with identical twin nieces— but were still taken by surprise when they first saw it in an ultrasound. Roy “is a software engineer, and he actually works on ultrasounds,” Jean said. So at two months, when she had the scan, “he saw the ultrasound, and he put his fingers up, like this,” she said, holding up two fingers. “Then he started doing this,” she held up another finger, and her jaw dropped. When the trio came home, young Tyler told the Valley Record “They’re noisy, but they’re cute.” Now that they’re all basically adults, Tyler is still impressed with how they express themselves. He wrote in an e-mail message that the best part of having multiples for siblings “was watching them grow, and become their own people, developing hobbies, personalities, and finding their own voices.” Muriel, who’d been hoping for “something sarcastic” from Tyler, said they didn’t really have a big
brother relationship with him because of the age difference, but got along as well as typical siblings do. “He liked us for a year or two,” she joked, “but then he got annoyed.”
Three’s a crowd To be fair, the three were a lot to handle, and they didn’t really need an older brother; they had each other. “They always had someone to play with, and to get in trouble with,” said Jean, recounting incidents of them escaping their cribs, setting off fire alarms to see what would happen and once, while she was doing laundry, flipping over the family’s loveseat to use as their imaginary boat. “You couldn’t turn your back!” she laughed. Especially not on Ursula, who was the first of the three to reach many children’s milestones, from walking and talking to tying her shoes. “She’s the one who got up on the counter one day, when she was 2, and started handing out all the medicines and vitamins,” Jean said. Jean got a lot of support from Mothers of Multiples, which she joined when she knew she was expecting triplets. She also was able to pick up some of the special gear required for that many infants, triple-wide strollers, for instance, at a discount. Daily life with three babies was a challenge, she admitted, but it became even more difficult when they got to school and began joining sports and clubs. Both Ursula and Frank played football at Twin Falls Middle School, and were involved in clubs (Ursula) and jazz band (Frank) in high school at Mount Si. Muriel started at Bellevue

College through Running Start last spring “It was a lot of driving,” said Jean. Luckily, Ursula showed her “oldest” initiative and got her driver’s license early on, followed by Muriel. Being the oldest seems like something Ursula has always taken seriously, but she’s not above telling embarrassing stories about her siblings. “Lowell (Frank) had a leash!” she announced. “I had a harness,” he corrected her, “and I was an explorer!” He is good-natured about everything, says his mom, and has been since he was a baby. Each of the three developed a unique personality early on, Jean says. She and Roy worked to encourage that by taking one of them away each week for a day all his or her own, doing whatever they wanted. “I remember that!” says Muriel, and Frank agrees. The two do an under-the-table fist bump, their own code, and a sign of how close they are. “We get each other really well,” said Muriel. “We don’t even have to think sometimes, and we just get it.” This spring, Frank and Ursula will graduate from Mount Si High School. Muriel will finish her associate’s degree at Bellevue College, then go on to the University of Washington, for sociology or a related field. While Ursula plans to go to college out of state, studying pre-law and maybe aspiring to politics, Frank wants to continue in music, and will go to Central Washington University. They’ve never known life as anything other than being a triplet, Muriel said, but they’re all ready to explore what’s next. “I don’t think they even realize it, but it’s kind of a bittersweet time right now,” sighs Jean.
Firefighters to hand out strobe balls on Halloween To raise awareness on Halloween safety, Snoqualmie firefighters will hand out hundreds of safety strobe balls in local neighborhoods of downtown and Snoqualmie Ridge on Friday, Oct. 31. These balls can be carried in hand and will help drivers spot trick-or-treaters. Parents could also add reflective tape to costumes so children will be more visible, especially for those kids planning to wear dark outfits. Check out “Lucky 13 Tips for a Safe Halloween” located on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website for information about food safety, costume and make-up safety, colored contact lens warnings, and more.

Winter’s on its way; make sure you and your vehicle are prepared Winter will be here before you know it, so now’s the time to make sure you — and your vehicle — are ready for snow and ice. The keys to emerging from the winter-driving season unscathed are slowing down, and planning ahead. There are no major storms on the immediate horizon, but Washington State Department of Transportation officials say drivers still need to be ready. “Prepare your car and prepare yourself for winter conditions,” said Monty Mills, WSDOT’s snow-and-ice program manager. “When the temperature drops, drivers all over the state need to be ready. We’ll be working to keep the highways open, but we’ll need drivers’ help.” WSDOT asks drivers to always “know before you go” and get the most up-to-date roadway information and winter-driving tips on the agency’s winter driving Web page, www.wsdot.wa.gov/winter. Here’s what drivers can do to prepare for icy and snowy roads: • Download the WSDOT mobile app for smartphones. • Sign up for e-mail updates or follow WSDOT’s regional accounts on Twitter. • Download, print and carry the WSDOT Winter Driving Guide, www. wsdot.wa.gov/NR/rdonlyres/BE02BA7B-1756-4F60-8870-CF99F828E11D/0/ WinterDrivingBrochure.pdf. • Get your car ready and plan extra time to cross all mountain passes, including heavily traveled routes such as Snoqualmie Pass, Stevens Pass and White Pass. • Carry chains and know current traction and chain requirements for mountain passes, which are also available on highway-advisory signs and highway-advisory radio. • Preset 530 AM and 1610 AM, WSDOT’s traffic-information stations, on your vehicle’s radio. • Some vehicle manufacturers recommend against the use of tire chains. The Washington State Patrol provides a list of approved, alternative-traction devices that are acceptable when chains or traction tires are required. • Studded tires are legal for use only between Nov. 1 and March 31 in Washington. Motorists are encouraged to visit a tire dealer to learn more about traction tires that are legal for year-round use. More information about studded-tired restrictions and requirements can be found in the FAQ on the Washington State Patrol website.

Ready or not CERT training helps people prepare themselves, their communities, for disaster BY CAROL LADWIG Staff Reporter
People who lost power over the weekend are likely restocking their emergency supplies this week, or taking stock of their emergency plans. For the rest of us who didn’t plan ahead, there’s good news: You can always start planning now; and there are local experts who can train you in emergency planning, for a refundable $25 fee. Community Emergency Response Team, or CERT, training is a multiday course on disaster preparedness, first aid, fire suppression, and other skills that you’ll be glad to have in an emergency. “We need to focus on what the most probable situations are going to be for us here in the Valley,” says Mary Norton, CERT instructor for Snoqualmie and North Bend. In order, they are flooding, followed by a significant snow event, and earthquakes. “And who knows? Maybe a tornado!” Norton laughed. It was a joke, referring to the tornado that touched down in southern Washington late last

Norton has been a Valley resident since 2004 when she moved to the area from Southern California’s “earthquake country,” as both she and Snoqualmie Fire Chief Mark Correira call it. She had no experience with
CERT before then (the organization was only created after the terrorist attacks of 2011, as part of the Federal Emergency Management Administration), but took the class here with her daughter, because, she said, she wanted to be ready. SEE CERT TEAM, 12

Locals anticipate the areas that flood first. And the city firefighters have the warning system down to a science. When the river monitoring stations uphill say that the river is rising for a flood, firefighters go into action. The city sends out reverse-911 calls, messaging residents in areas that will get wet. Later, firefighters will go door to door, asking people to evacuate. If residents don’t go, they can get trapped, and that puts both themselves and the people who are called to rescue them in harm’s way. The best way to stay safe is to get out of the flood zone before flooding happens. In Snoqualmie, typically the worst-hit Valley city, flooding starts with Pickering Court, downtown. Then, neighborhoods by the river, at Meadowbrook, and near Kimball Creek start to flood. A big one can swamp most of the downtown area. Low-lying areas of North Bend can and do get inundated. In the 2009 flood, inches of water covered the grounds of the Mount Si Senior Center, downtown. Medium floods can wash over the lowland golf courses at Fall City, and a big one can cover Highway 202 between Snoqualmie Falls and the Fall City roundabout. Residential flooding is rare in the vicinity of Carnation. But when a major flood hits, it can isolate the city. The roads that cross the Valley, including Highway 203 south and north of the city, go under. But the town itself rarely floods. Lower Valley farms are usually the worst-hit. Putting the Valley back together, responders usually start by restoring power. But it can take days for the power company to get things back online. Residents have to be ready to wait it out. When a disaster happens, it’s often too late to stock up. You can save yourself a lot of trouble by planning and shopping early. It’s important to store extra water, food, flashlights and other essentials well ahead of time. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the scale of a disaster, and the need to react. Some thinking ahead of time is well worth it. Planning, getting a kit ready and gathering supplies are vital to being ready for the possible. A warm coat, a good set of shoes and a list of medication is a good starting point. After 2012’s multiple-day power outage, Eastside Fire and Rescue stresses the need to be careful about carbon monoxide. If people are using kerosene heaters or stoves, they need to ensure they are used in well-ventilated areas. EFR is concerned that people who keep extra gasoline may end up inadvertently creating fire dangers. The same warning goes for families who rely on candles during outages. If you need to leave the room, put out the candle; don’t leave it burning unattended, as that could lead to a fire. Both the cities of North Bend and Snoqualmie broadcast travel restrictions on the local emergency radio channel, AM 1650.

Emergency prep in four weekly steps Get your family involved in preparing for emergencies BY PATRICIA LARA AND SETH TRUSCOTT Valley Record Staff
Pondering how to prepare for a disaster can often be overwhelming. So, a good way to tackle emergency preparedness is to break down the various steps into weekly assignments that families can easily tackle over a month or so. Here are easy ways to get your family ready for a disaster, in four steps. Week one assignment: Establish ICE contacts in cell phone ICE means (I)n (C)ase of (E)mergency, and most cell phones have a feature that allows for ICE numbers to show up without the lock code. Go to Emergency call and an icon will show up that lead to your ICE contacts. It’s best to have two ICE contacts. One would be in-state for anything that is not a disaster situation, i.e., a medical emergency, and an out-of-state contact for disasters or when communications are down in your state. In most cases, you can still make calls out of state. The out-of-state contact should be someone who knows all your family members, and where your family members can call to get updates on your situation or status. This means you can update all your family with one phone call. Week two assignment: Emergency routes Choose three different routes that lead from work to home. Each emergency route needs to be labeled A, B or C, with maps in your car and at home. If there is an emergency in which you need to leave your car, just leave a message that states you are taking route A or B or C for responders, and when notifying your out-of-state contact, just give the label. Your family will know what route you’re taking since you plan ahead of time. Week three assignment: Role play We live at a time when we no longer prepare for just the big one, but the triple threat. The best way to know what to do is to make an activity that is fun and allows for discussion. Talk about what you and your family will do if dad is at work, the kids are at school and mom is at home, if there is a snow storm, no power and the river is flooding. Do the kids walk home? Do you and your neighbors have an assigned person that will pick up all the kids from elementary, and another neighbor pick up from the high school? Make this a block party and have games. Emergencies are easier on kids and adults when they know what to do and have practiced already. Week four assignment: Establish guidelines Set rules. For example, the gas tank should never be less than half full, kids must always text or call any time the schedule changes, parents must keep an emergency fund at home of small bills and change, or always keep at least two weeks worth of food at home. Set some guidelines that you can keep that will make things easier on you and your family when things happen.

Storm reminds us: Winter prep questions
Fall back on Sunday, change your battery
BY WENDY THOMAS Carmichael’s True Value Owner
The weekend storm of October 25 and 26, reminded us that winter weather is back. Many lost power, some for multiple days. It certainly was a winter and general preparedness wake up call! Were you prepared? • Did you have flashlights, extra batteries and bulbs ready? • Was your generator tuned up, transfer switch installed or adequate cords with the correct connections on hand. • Were your gas cans full of stabilized gas? • Oil lamps, fuel, candles on hand? • Are you ready for cold weather? Be sure you have adequate weather stripping and insulation. • Winterize your RV, outdoor plumbing and irrigation. • Install and plug in heat tape on high risk pipes. • Find your snow shovel and lay in a supply of ice melt. • Make sure the gasket on your woodstove is in good shape, and your chimney is clean.

When you change your clock this Sunday, Nov. 2, as Daylight Saving Time ends, Eastside Fire and Rescue urges you to change the batteries in your smoke detector. It’s a way of preventing fires. Smoke alarms have become such a common feature in our homes that it is easy to take them for granted. Almost two-thirds of home fire deaths resulted from fires in properties without properly working smoke alarms. During the period of 2005 to 2009, smoke alarms were present in almost three-quarters of reported home fires and sounded in half of the home fires reported to U.S. fire departments. More than one-third of home fire deaths resulted from fires in which no smoke alarms were present at all. Twenty-five percent of deaths were caused by fires in properties in which smoke alarms were present, but failed to operate. Smoke alarm failures usually result from missing, disconnected, or dead batteries.

Protect yourself against meningitis: Get the facts The most important step for preventing infection is to get up to date on vaccines Contributed by Snoqualmie Valley Hospital
Meningitis is a potentially life-threatening illness caused by an inflammation of the lining that covers the brain and spinal cord called the meninges. It is most commonly caused by a viral infection somewhere else in the body, but can also be caused by a bacterial or fungal infection. Depending on the type of meningitis, it can be easily curable or can cause serious complications. It is important to know the symptoms of meningitis in order to seek immediate and proper medical treatment. The most common symptoms are fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, stiff neck, confusion, lethargy, rash, seizures and light sensitivity. Babies can have additional symptoms including not feeding well, a bulging soft spot, extreme fatigue TRICIA NIELSEN and increased fussiness. Family practice Although anyone can get meningitis, young children, college students physician, Ridge and military personnel who live in Medical Clinic close proximity are most at risk. “The most important step in preventing meningitis is to be up to date on vaccines, especially those that protect from different types of meningitis, including Meningococcal, Pneumococcal, and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib),” Dr. Tricia Nielsen, family practice physician with Snoqualmie Ridge Medical Clinic, said. “Frequent hand washing also helps prevent spreading the disease, especially after changing diapers or being exposed to someone who has been recently diagnosed with meningitis.” Viral meningitis is the most common type and is rarely serious. It typically goes away within a week without treatment. A person can become infected with viral meningitis in a variety of ways, but most commonly through direct contact with contaminated food, water, surfaces or feces containing a specific group of viruses. Other virus types can be spread by coughing and sneezing, insects or animal bites. Bacterial meningitis is usually a serious infection requiring immediate medical attention. It can be contracted from a recent ear or sinus infection, exposure to a person with bacterial meningitis, complications from a surgery such as hearing implants, or following a serious head injury. “Early treatment is crucial in preventing serious complications such as death, hearing problems, learning disabilities, seizures, migraines and other conditions,” said Nielsen. “It is very important to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else exhibits symptoms of meningitis or has been in close contact to someone diagnosed with meningitis. Even if it is a viral infection, it is best not to take a chance until you are evaluated and diagnosed.” Most people make a complete recovery if meningitis is diagnosed and treated early. Snoqualmie Ridge Medical Clinic is located at 35020 S.E. Kinsey Street in Snoqualmie Ridge. To make an appointment or for more information about the clinic and Dr. Nielsen, call (425) 396-7682 or go to www.snoqualmiehospital.org and click on “Clinics.”

Flood insurance 101
Understand your flood risk, reduce your flood cost and increase your home’s value
W
hile homeowners should consider flood insurance coverage in the event of a river or urban flooding, insurance alone isn’t enough. Proper planning is also vital to avoid major headaches, extra expense or tragic losses during a flood. Agents with Valley-based Hauglie Insurance advise residents to make a flood plan, which includes making sure family members know how to get out of the house and neighborhood, where to meet up and how to contact each other. Flood planning also includes readying the home for a disaster. A good exit plan will ensure that contents are protected and valuables removed or stored out of harm’s way. Vital medications, for example, must be accounted for early on. If medicine needs to stay refrigerated, have a cooler handy, because floods often mean power loss. Antiques are covered, but only at functional value. That means that your grandmother’s antique table may wind up being replaced by just another new table. Homeowners should ensure that valued antiques are safely high and dry

Flood insurance can help homeowners recover from devastating floods. or on the truck out of a flood zone in a disaster. Homeowners also need to ensure that invoices, receipts and flood claim documentation are kept in a waterproof bag and, if possible, in a fireproof safe. Documentation is needed to prove to FEMA that repairs were completed. Time-stamped photos are also a good way to document before-and-after realities. “Photos are the easiest and most valuable thing you can do in protecting your home and contents before a fire or flood,”
says Farmer’s Insurance agent Angela Donaldson. After a disaster, “not only are you emotionally stressed, but now you have to remember where everything was and what it looked like—and you have to articulate that to an adjustor.” All that stress can be saved by having photos on hand.

omething is wrong with your furnace. Perhaps it’s running louder than usual, making an odd noise or cycling on and off repeatedly — if it’s working at all. Maybe your whole house is too cold, or some rooms are significantly warmer than others. These tips will help you determine whether you should replace your furnace or simply repair it, and whether your furnace is actually the reason your home is so cold. Before you call any company, check your furnace filters first! The majority of service calls could be solved with changing the furnace filter. If you don’t know where it is, call; we will tell you.
When you should repair instead Whether you should repair or replace a dysfunctional furnace depends on which part is causing the problem, how much the repair would cost and how old your furnace is. Problems with the following parts can almost always be fixed, but if a part is no longer available because your furnace is too old, repair may be impossible: • Hot surface ignitor • High/low limit switch • Anything involving a thermostat • Gas valve • Flame sensor • Thermocouple • Filters
Signs your furnace is dead Many experts say you should consider replacing your furnace after 15 years, since it might be reaching the end of its life. We disagree. Some furnaces will last 25 or 30 years —

When your furnace isn’t to blame If your home is too cold, the furnace isn’t necessarily the culprit. The following fixes are easier and less expensive than furnace repair or replacement. As a bonus, many of these will also make your air conditioner more effective. Is your furnace getting power? Check for tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses. Leaky ducts (the metal tubes that distribute heat throughout your home) can be sealed so that more hot air actually gets blown into rooms instead of seeping into the attic. The American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy says sealing leaky ducts can improve efficiency by 15 to 20 percent; it will set you back a few hundred dollars, but that’s much cheaper than a new furnace. Better insulation in your attic and walls will help your home retain heat. New weather stripping around doors and windows will keep cold out and heat in. Upgrading a manual thermostat to an electronic one can regulate your home’s heat more effectively and lower your energy bills. And, replacing a furnace’s filter can improve airflow.

or even longer — so replacing a 15-year-old furnace just because is premature. An experienced technician might be able to give you an idea of how much life your old furnace has left based on its service history and an analysis of how the components are functioning, but there’s no definitive way to tell. Problems with the following parts usually means it’s time to replace your furnace: • Heat exchanger (cracked) • Blower motor • Inducer motor • Control board (sometimes repairable, depending on furnace brand) If the parts are still under warranty (a typical one runs 10 years) and these items are covered, do the repairs. But these parts often become faulty when the furnace is older. The repairs can be so expensive that replacement makes more sense, especially since one large repair can be the beginning of many repairs. This is also a good time to get a second opinion. Most heating companies would be happy to sell you a new furnace, rather than repair a 15-year-old furnace.

and actually, itt can have an equal or greater burden on local resources and FEMA than the east coast’s catastrophic floods. In fact, says Donaldson, 25 percent of claims are in the low to moderate risk zones where flood insurance is not required. The National Flood Insurance Program or NFIP, offers preferred risk flood insurance to aid families with damage not covered by homeowner’s insurance. Early fall is the time to buy a flood policy. Flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period, and Valley storms and floods have been known to hit before Thanksgiving. Separate outbuildings need separate flood coverage. If a homeowner has built a freestanding office, garage or guest house on their property, disconnected from the main roofline, that building may need its own policy. Dealing with floods and preparing is a reactive attitude—as
Donaldson sees it, residents should shift their way of thinking to be proactive. “As we continue to experience the consequences of ongoing flood insurance reform, many members impacted within the Valley equate these changes to death and taxes—we know it’s coming and we can’t stop it,” she stated. That said, property owners and families can do many things to reduce the risk of flood damage to their homes that can have additional benefits such as reducing their insurance cost as well as improving property value. Over the last year, the real estate market in the Snoqualmie Valley has been impacted by the volatility of flood insurance rates. For families, this kind of premium change has meant up to a $600 increase in their monthly mortgage payment. That is money they no longer have to spend at local grocery stores, retailers, school activities, recreation and home improvement. “What if they can’t afford it?” Donaldson stated. “Do they sell their home? Can they sell their home if that type of ‘living

expense’ scares away homebuyers? Possibly, and many realtors have steered homebuyers away from living in the floodplain due to the uncertainty.” That $600 monthly expense buys a home valued $150,000 less than a home out of the floodplain, she added. “The buyers will run away and homeowners will be forced to walk away because no one can discount their selling price enough to make sense or cents.” Marketing your home in this environment means making changes that directly affect the cost of flood insurance. Some can be simple and quick, while others involve waiting for mitigation assistance, such as a home elevation or buyout. These changes involve bringing your home up to current building flood code. The most important factor is your foundation type. Flood insurance rate tables are segmented into nine different foundation types or “building diagrams.” It’s important to stay realistic in your project, if filling your crawlspace to match the level of the exterior grounds cuts off your access to less than 12 to 18 inches of the utilities under your home, it’s best to wait until you can elevate the house. However, if you already have an above grade crawlspace, all you may need to do is add a couple vents to save hundreds a year. Talk to your insurance agent, local building department and contractor—they can be a wealth of information that can save you money now and in the long run.

CAR MAINTENANCE TIPS Stay Cool, and Warm
Properly maintaining your vehicle’s coolant system helps keep your engine, your radiator, and you at a comfortable temperature. Since both your heat and air conditioner work off of the same coolant, flushing and filling your radiator’s antifreeze keeps your engine running cooler and helps prevent overheating, freezing, and corrosion. Over time the anticorrosion and lubricating properties in coolant begin to break down and allow potential engine-damaging rust, corrosion, and mineral deposits to form throughout the cooling system.

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.

Tough night at the office Mount Si football takes on challenging Newport Knights
What looked like anybody’s game turned into a tough uphill slog under driving rain for the Mount Si varsity football team on Friday, Oct. 24. The Wildcats held the edge on the road against Newport for almost the entirety of the first half, but the second half was practically all the Knights, who, with running back Paul Wells’ fast legs, gradually claimed an insuperable lead. At the outset, the Wildcats received, and wide receivers Parker Dumas and Caleb Mitchell and running back Max Bonda ran it downfield to the Knights’ one-yard line before sophomore Cory Cotto caught a short pass to score. Newport answered with the first of many fast, long runs to score. The Wildcats went three-and-out in the next drive, but stopped the Knights’ drive in turn. Colton Swain caught a long pass from Hillel to make it first and 10 on the Knights’ 15-yard line, 27 seconds into the second quarter. A Wildcat drive culminated in a 15-yard touchdown pass by quarterback JoJo Hillel to Dumas. The Knights were able to block the point after, marking the end of Wildcat scoring in the first half—with possession just seconds before the half, a Hail Mary pass by Hillel failed to connect after the buzzer. In the fourth quarter, Hillel passed to Dumas for a one-yard score. Parker Swain got the following pass for a two-point conversation. Mount Si last got on the boards during the fourth with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Hillel to sophomore Bonda, making it 27-47. The final score was 54-27. “It’s always tough to come out and not do what you were planning to do,” said Dumas. “That’s frustrating for us.” At the half, “everyone was ready in the locker room. That was a football game, coming out.We talked about playing with heart, coming out and trying to finish a football game, playing four quarters of football. We just didn’t do it.” “Parker ran a good route, and they tried to double team him, so I was wide open,” said Sean Hyland, who caught a second-half pass to keep things moving, “and then I just got down the field, got my eyes on the ball and hooked it in.” “They’re a good team,” Hylands said of the Knights. “They wore us down in the second half. We had our chances. We had a lot of third downs and short and fourth downs and short, but we didn’t convert. We didn’t keep our defense off the field enough.” “You’ve got to watch the ball more, for sure. You’ve got to be more focused when it’s raining like this,” Hyland said. “I thought our guys did a good job today. We had maybe one drop, but that’s pretty good, considering the conditions. I just go out there and try to play hard, no matter what, no matter what the score is,” Hylands said, explaining his philosophy. “I try and play for my teammates, this being my last year with these guys.” “We’ve got one more week,” said Dumas. “We just want to get the team together. We want to come out with Liberty and really Qi GongMeditation Tai Ji Chih show them what we’ve got—kind of a redemption.” 425-392-4712 Health and Longevity • Mount Si finishes its regular season this Friday, Oct. 31.

Mount Si girls soccer team, with an 11-3-1 record, continues its battle for KingCo honors this week. Fresh off a win over Eastlake Thursday, the girls went into a playoff Monday, Oct. 27, on the road versus Skyline for the right to face Issaquah in the KingCo Championship Nov. 3. On Thursday, Oct. 23, Mount Si beat Eastlake, 2-0, at Eastlake High. Seniors Karli White and Mackenzie Popp scored, and White and senior midfielder Malia Barrett had assists. It was senior goalie Nellie Joselyn’s ninth shutout in the season. Mount Si had its first league loss Tuesday, Oct. 21, to Issaquah, the league leaders. The Eagles had one goal early in the second half, and held off the Wildcats, who got their third loss this season. “Well-fought match,” commented coach Darren Brown. “We fell short but cannot deny our effort tonight… We control our destiny!”

Mount Si teacher’s 20-year-old photos appear in museum exhibit, Pitch Black Sports photos snapped years ago by Mount Si High School photography teacher Jim Gibowski are now getting attention in a Northwest multimedia show. Gibowski snapped the photos two decades ago for his business, Sports Action Photography. Now, they’re in “Pitch Black: African-American Baseball in Washington,” an exhibit at the Northwest African-American Museum in Seattle (www. naamnw.org). The show is on through Nov. 9. For more than three years, from 1995 to 1997, Gibowski worked as a substitute teacher and freelance photographer. “The more photos I sold, the less I would sub,” he said. “One year, I sold about $20,000 worth of photos.” Back then, photography was all on film. Gibowski converted one of his apartment rooms into a darkroom. He covered middle school and high school sports, and a few school plays. “I mainly hit sixth, seventh, eighth grade, because that’s where the parents showed up.” He shot a lot of Little League action on the Eastside, but shot other, “weird things,” like roller hockey. Some of the young people he later taught, he originally captured on film as a freelancer. Gibowski attended league tournaments. That worked out well, because he could plan what he was going to sell. He would shoot on the first day of the tournament, develop on day two and return to the tournament on day three to take orders. “I would shoot, develop, cut out anything that was out of focus,” then make proof sheets and show them to customers. By the end of freelance years, he had amassed thousands of photos, printing countless photos and calendars. “I printed everything myself,” then shipped them sandwiched between cardboard collected from the nearby supermarket for a dollar, cut with a utility knife. “It worked out great!” He always marked each one with his name and the number of the frame. His showing in the museum exhibit happened after a museum staffer noticed the sticker on one of his old photos, and rang him up. Pitch Black looks at the historic significance and contributions of black baseball, both locally and nationally. “Catch My Drift,” the youth-created portion of the exhibit, includes Gibowski’s videos. The teacher’s photos are from a youth baseball tournament in Seattle’s Judkins Park. He snapped photos of several teams, children of all races, playing the game. “One in there that is my best shot,” Gibowsku said, “a cloud of dust at home plate.” Gibowski’s dual career ended in 1998, when he started teaching full time at Mount Si. But he’s still a passionate photographer, shooting live sports when he gets the chance. You can learn more about the Pitch Black show at http:// www.naamnw.org/youth-curator/

GUN LAWS FROM 1 including those made at gun shows, online, or between private parties. With the exceptions of antique sales, gifts, temporary loans to prevent harm from an imminent threat and a few other situations, a federally-licensed retailer must oversee every sale or transfer of a firearm, and conduct a background check on the individual receiving the weapon. One such retailer, Mike Marinos, owner of Big Dogg Firearms in North Bend, charges a $40 fee for these services, but he’s still opposed to 594. “It’s the registration,” he said, “It’s somebody knowing what you’ve got. It’s none of their business.” In effect, Initiative 594 would create a registry of gun owners, he and other opponents say, through the information gathered in the required background checks. That said, “Background checks are a definite necessity.” In the year-plus since Marinos opened shop in North Bend, he estimated he’s sold about 500 guns, and done at least that many background checks. A background check result caused a sale to be cancelled only three times, which is “not bad,” he says. “(Initiative) 591 is not against background checks. Gun stores are not against background checks. What we’re against is the database and the (restrictions on) transfers.” On the other hand, I-591 sets the federal law as the requirement for the state, which “doesn’t even begin to go to the mark,” on gun safety, says Jim Gildersleeve, hunter and treasurer for the Snoqualmie Valley Elk Management Group. Congress has been unable to make meaningful changes to the current federal gun law for nearly a decade, although Gildersleeve feels that “the vast majority of Americans want more gun control…. I want to see additional gun control that keeps weapons out of the hands of people who, for whatever reason, shouldn’t have them…. and

Student Mock Election runs Oct. 27-Oct. 31
A licensed firearms retailer has the would-be buyer fill out a form, answering questions about the individual’s history, including arrests, felony convictions, citizenship, military service, illegal drug use, domestic violence incidents and mental health. The retailer submits the form to the local law enforcement agency, which, as specified in the current state law, searches the “national crime information center, the Washington State Patrol electronic database, the department of social and health services electronic database, and with other agencies or resources as appropriate, to determine whether the applicant is ineligible under RCW 9.41.040 to possess a firearm.” It typically takes less than five days, and is often much less for buyers who are already licensed (and have completed the background check) to carry concealed pistols. we know that the federal minimums have not stopped the scourge” of violent crimes committed with firearms. He felt that neither measure would have much of an effect on the elk group, which relies on master hunters to harvest a few dozen elk each year, to maintain a healthy population level. But as far short as I-591 falls in gun safety, I-594 overreaches at least as much in restricting gun rights. In the 18 pages of proposed code revisions, that make up I-594, Gildersleeve found several concerning additions. These include a requirement that gunsmiths hold federal licenses in order to receive a weapon in order to make repairs, a 60-day deadline for transferring a dead gun owner’s firearms to his or her heirs, and a requirement for a seller to hold up delivery of a pistol if a buyer has any outstanding felony or misdemeanor warrants. Under current federal law, anyone convicted of a felony in the U.S. cannot legally own a gun,

Mount Si Fish and Game Club announces scholarships The Mount Si Fish and Game Club’s 2014 College Scholarships were awarded to Joann Richter and Hanna Houser, both from North Bend, and Parker McComb of Redmond. All three recipients are graduates of Mount Si High School. The students were selected after submitting an application and an essay on their accomplishments and interests. If you would like to be involved in the club, come to a meeting at the Snoqualmie Police Station on the first Thursday evening of every month, October through May. but there is no restriction on misdemeanor convictions. Gildersleeve said he’s read both initiative proposals, and recommends other people do the same before voting. Also, “I’m hopeful that both of these will pass, and some of the differences will have to be resolved in the legislature,” he says. “I’m just hop-
ing we can get a better … law if the legislature takes it up.” The Snoqualmie Police Department was asked to comment for this story, but declined.

The group published a request for proposals, and received one response, a bid of $15,000 from Beckwith Consultants, making each partner’s share of the cost $5,000. Several council members felt that $15,000 was high for a business plan. Councilman David Cook suggested re-advertising the project to receive more, and possibly less expensive, bids. Councilman Alan Gothelf was also concerned about the future cost to the city, resulting from potential recommendations of the plan to make improvements at the property. “Is the council ready to spend the money that it’s going to take? I’m not sure,” he said. Councilwoman Jeanne Pettersen acknowledged the other council members’ concerns, and agreed that “we have some decisions to make.” She supported the business plan, saying that the cost was not too much for the quality of work they knew to expect from the consultant, and “With any investment, you have to put something into it, eventually.”
Pettersen also expressed her hopes that the farm could potentially become self-supporting in the long term. Councilmen Gothelf and Cook voted in opposition to the city’s contribution of $5,000, but the action was approved, 5 to 2. Since the cities jointly purchased the property 20 years ago, they have shared the annual maintenance costs. Each city currently contributes $10,000 for farm upkeep.
