A lot has changed in the four-plus years since Black Canyon Hydro, a hydropower development firm, began talks about a proposed power plant on the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River. Two things, though, Black Canyon’s intentions to pursue the project, and affected residents’ opposition to it, have stayed consistent. A handful of residents, mostly from the Ernie’s Grove neighborhood, shared their concerns about the project at the July 13 Snoqualmie City Council meeting. Citing property rights and environmental concerns, they urged the city to use its influence to stop the project. Concerns raised by citizens and local government have already changed the project. Black Canyon’s initial proposal, for a 25-megawatt-capacity plant, included a seven-foot inflatable dam at the intake, a powerhouse 2.4 river miles downstream and a 150-foot tailrace to return water to the stream.

HYDRO FROM 1
In Brief
Chris Spens, a project engineer for Tollhouse Power, a holding company for the Black Canyon project, said that based on community feedback, both in initial meetings in 2011 and subsequent communications, the project team revised their plans to make as much of the project as possible underground. “I think the overwhelming sentiment from Ernie’s Grove is they want the least change possible, the least visual presence,” he said. The current version of plans for the Black Canyon plant feature, instead of a dam, a “roughened channel,” or stone lip that will divert up to 900 cubic feet per second of water from the river to a fish-screened, 8-footdiameter intake pipe that drops 450 feet to an underground powerhouse to produce electricity. Once through the powerhouse, the water, powered only by gravity, flows 8,600 feet and back into the river via the 200-foot, 12-foot-diameter tailrace, 1,000 feet upstream of the nearest house in Ernie’s Grove. “All of that water standing in that vertical pipe is creating pressure, which provides the energy,” Spens said.
Police host National Night Out in North Bend On Tuesday Aug. 4, the Snoqualmie Police Department will host its third annual National Night Out Against Crime from 4 to 8 p.m. at Si View Park. The National NIght Out event is designed to bring the community together to spread crime prevention awareness and build neighborhood bonds. There will be exhibits from the Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad and K-9 units, 911 Dispatch, Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Peacekeeper. There will also be activities for kids like bouncy houses, airbrush tattoos and prizes. Police officers will be grilling hotdogs, hamburgers, and serving chips and drinks, all free. Community members are invited to get to know their local officers. For additional information follow the Snoqualmie Police Department on Twitter or Facebook.

Snoqualmie’s water source No other part of the system is pressurized Spens said, which is important since the project is near the Canyon Springs aquifer. “Canyon Springs is one of the significant sources of water for the city,” said Russ Porter. “It’s a historical source. It’s a gravity system, there’s only chlorine treatment and it’s a very high quality, so it’s kind of your best and cheapest water.” Porter, a water engineer with Gray and Osborne, was speaking to the Snoqualmie City Council at its July 13 meeting, to present his review of the recently published groundwater study conducted by Black Canyon. The study was made to project the impact of the power plant construction and operation on Canyon Springs, Porter said, because “one of our biggest concerns was the hydrology of the groundwater at Canyon Springs was not real well known…. At the time we did this, we thought that perhaps the river recharged the aquifer in this area.” The study suggested that Canyon Springs, among several area streams, drew water from a much larger area than they had projected, Porter said, adding, “The river may still have a contribution, but it’s probably not significant.” Snoqualmie has three water sources, and although it uses only about 25 percent of the water it had rights to from Canyon Springs last year, Porter said he was going to recommend changes to increase the Canyon Springs draw, “because it’s the most cost effective.“ Porter noted that his review focused on groundwater impacts, and although the aquifer had a larger supply area than originally thought, the Black Canyon project could still have an effect on the water in Canyon Springs. The aquifer recharge area narrows in

Hydropower proponent Thom Fischer visits Tollhouse Power’s Black Creek hydroelectric plant in Hancock Forest in 2011. Tollhouse operates the 17-year-old, 4-megawatt facility for Puget Sound Energy, and has proposed the Black Canyon project for a larger plant, generating up to 25 megawatts, on the North Fork of the Snoqualmie, upriver from Ernie’s Grove. the same area that Black Canyon engineers are proposing to place the intake for the power plant, he said, and “there could be impact on water volume and quality.” He recommended requesting additional geotechnical studies and downstream monitoring on the project, if it goes forward.
Protected river Snoqualmie Watershed Coordinator Janne Kaje also had concerns about the project, which he said King County officials shared. Among them were environmental effects — because of its short distance, the project would not trigger a minimum in-stream flow requirement, and the protected status of that reach of the river. Although it’s not a Wild and Scenic River, the North Fork has been designated a protected area by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council “since the 1980s because of its outstanding fish and wildlife value…” Kaje said. Protected status doesn’t mean that hydropower projects can’t be implemented there, he said, but it does mean the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has to give strong consideration to the impact of those projects. “The definition of a protected area means that putting hydro there would create impacts that can’t be mitigated,” Kaje said. “It’s such an outstanding resource in the area, that the impacts can’t be mitigated.”
Regarding the question of instream flows, Spens said the project would take only excess water from the river, and “there wouldn’t likely be any operation from about mid-July to about mid-September, due to natural low flows.” To residents concerned about the possibility that his company might exercise eminent domain for some property acquisition as well as temporary and permanent access rights across several properties, he said he understood their concerns, and “We as a company have never used (eminent domain) before, and we’ve never had to use it…. it’s not something that we want to do.” Comments are still being accepted on the groundwater report, through Aug. 9. After the comments are received, FERC will determine if all of the investigation is complete. Spens said that Black Canyon next plans to hold meetings with various property owners, and hopes to submit a draft license application by Dec. 1 of this year. That application would undergo a 90-day review, and Spens estimated that the company would take two to three months to process the information from the review, before submitting the final license application in June or July of 2016.

It was only a matter of time, because the six-foot structure was insufficient for the stream, typically getting clogged with debris, leaving only about six inches of clearance for the stream to flow. “They’ve known it’s been a maintenance issue,” Tozer said. The new culvert to be installed in pre-cast concrete panels, after the water has been stopped upstream and pump back into the creek downstream of the project site, will be 12 feet high, 25 feet wide, and 76 feet long. Most of the work is projected to be done within 30 days of the Aug. 2 start date. Cost for the project is $2.9 million, and the city of Duvall’s share will be rough-
ly $700,000. Next up, the city project is nearly design complete and Tozer said he hoped the project could go to bid by the end of this year. In addition to sidewalks and lighting, the project will bury utilities, replace storm lines and slip-line sewer lines as needed, and include bike lanes. He estimated the project, covering 4,000 feet from N.E. Ring Street out to Big Rock Road, would cost about $8 million, not including the Coe-Clemons Creek portion of the road work project. The city will pay for the project with a collection of grants, including $3.5 million from the state Transportation Improvement Board, and $1 million from the Puget Sound Regional Council.

Night work began this week on S.R. 203 in Duvall, but the main event, requiring a complete eight-day closure of the road between Valley Street and Kennedy Drive, is still about two weeks out. Traffic will be re-routed in two ways during the Aug. 17 to 25 closure: A “truck route” style detour that diverts traffic from S.R. 203 to N.E. 124th Street, then down the Valley to Woodinville-Duvall Road and back onto 203, bypassing the city entirely; and a city-traffic detour that will allow local drivers access to northbound 203 via N.E. Kennedy Drive and access to southbound traffic on N.E. 143rd Place. Duvall project planner Shaun Tozer is hoping the multiple options work for traffic, saying “We do not want everybody to go the truck route and bypass all of downtown.” The detours and closures will lengthen commutes for Duvall’s 13,000-trips-a-day traffic in the short term, but the project itself will also enable the city to stretch its infrastructure budget and expand its Main Street vision by building on top of the initial project. “It’s kind of two separate, but interconnected projects,” explained Tozer. One project, to replace the concrete culvert that Coe-Clemons Creek flows through under 203, is a state Department of Transportation effort that has been planned since about 2005, Tozer said. The other project, to widen the road for sidewalks, safety railings and light poles, is part of Duvall’s long-term comprehensive plan for Main Street improvements, begun in 2008. City staff were reluctant to make pedestrian

Happy 50th, Medicare Department of Health officials consider effect of legislation establishing Medicare and Medicaid BY SUSAN JOHNSON Regional Director, US Department of Health and Human Services, Region 10, and JOHN T. HAMMARLUND Regional Administrator, CMS Region 10
O
n July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as an amendment to the Social Security Act. Most people who will become eligible for Medicare this year were in high school when this legislation was authorized. Today’s seniors were young adults, busy with their lives and families. In 1965, almost half of those 65 and older had no health insurance, living in fear that the high cost of health care could propel them and their families into poverty. Today, only 2 percent of seniors have no access to health insurance. This has led to a fiveyear increase in life expectancy for those over 65. Today, 55 million Americans rely on Medicare to provide needed care, including preventive services, hospital stays, lab tests, critical supplies, and prescription drugs.
It’s hard to remember that in 1965 many disabled people, families with children, pregnant women and low-income working Americans were unable to afford the medical care they needed to stay healthy and productive. When the legislation was passed, many thought Medicaid would never last, yet today Medicaid provides comprehensive coverage for almost 72 million eligible children, pregnant women, lowincome adults, and people living with disabilities. Almost one out of three Americans depends on Medicare and Medicaid for needed health care. Here in Region 10, which includes Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, there are more than 3 million Medicaid/CHIP enrollees and more than 2 million Medicare enrollees, covering about 41 percent of our population’s healthcare needs. In Washington, there are more than 1.7 million Medicaid or CHIP enrollees in addition to almost 1.2 million Medicare beneficiaries, covering approximately 41 percent of the state’s population. Without Medicare and Medicaid, both the quality of life and the length of life expectancy in this country would be diminished. These programs improve health and save lives every day by providing access to those who wouldn’t otherwise have health coverage.
Medicare and Medicaid are also driving innovation. These programs have become the standard bearers for coverage, quality, and innovation in American health care. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation funds transformative developments in payment and delivery models to simultaneously improve population health, improve the patient experience of care, and reduce per capita cost. Paying for value, not volume, will be key for the future. More Americans have access to affordable health care now than at any point in our history. That number will continue to grow as more states expand Medicaid. The Affordable Care Act has ensured that Essential Health Benefits are offered in Qualified Health Plans. No one should have to choose between needed healthcare or food and shelter. Medicare, Medicaid, and affordable health insurance all work together to eliminate that hard choice. By improving access to needed care, having health insurance improves mental and physical health and provides protection from financial hardship due to sickness. As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we can celebrate that what was put in place in 1965 has given us the foundation for a healthy future for all Americans.

Running any business is a challenge but it is more complicated in a publicowned entity, supported in part by tax dollars. All businesses need to be profitable to serve a community adequately. Health care and how those services are paid for are in a significant transition as the Affordable Health Care Act continues to be implemented. I have served with David Speikers on the finance committee for 1.5 years. All of his effort and goals are for fiscal responsibility, something that has been lacking for years. Sustainability is the most important issue facing our district. The only way this can happen is with good fiscal planning and looking outside the box with sharp scrutiny. The Snoqualmie Valley has changed over the last 20 years and will continue to change with more homes built and additional families joining our

Groundwater study report should be thrown out The North Fork Snoqualmie originates in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness more than 20 miles northeast of Snoqualmie. Canyon Springs is a group of natural springs in the Mount Si foothills, that have provided drinking water for the city of Snoqualmie since the 1950s. The North Fork Snoqualmie River and Canyon Springs are hydraulically connected; however, the exact location where river water is absorbed into the aquifer has not been determined. It likely occurs at a natural bend about five miles upstream.
petitive process that received 160 applications, and is the only site in Washington state. Another 40 sites across the country – including two in western Washington – will serve veterans. Donna O’Connor, Hopelink’s new financial coach, said financial stress can create a “barrier to progress” for a lot of people who have never learned about banking options and budgeting basics. “Financial education is essential – you can’t be expected to make informed decisions if you don’t have the information,” O’Connor said. She said a lot of clients don’t know what to expect when they first sit down with her. “They are fearful – especially when it comes to such a personal topic as finances – because more
Black Canyon Hydro is proposing to build a dam on the North Fork Snoqualmie that will generate 25 megawatts of electricity. Their plan is to divert river water into an intake tunnel and drop it vertically 450 feet to generate electricity. The water would then be piped back out to the main river channel downstream. The proposed intake site is at that natural bend in the river. Black Canyon is looking to divert up to 900 cubic feet per second (cfs) for electricity generation, reducing the North Fork to a trickle for most of the year. With little water left in the river, the Canyon Springs Aquifer will be negatively affected. Black Canyon Hydro needs a license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for the project. As part of the licensing process, FERC required Black Canyon to do a groundwater study on the effects to the Canyon Springs Aquifer. On June 10, Black Canyon released its study which concluded that “the [proposed dam project] is not likely to interfere with the Canyon Springs water source, water quality, available quantity or operations by the city of Snoqualmie.” If FERC accepts the conclusion of this flawed report, Black Canyon Hydro will receive permission to apply for its license. Residents should contact Snoqualmie City Hall and tell the mayor and council to demand a new groundwater study. The comment period ends on August 9. After that, it will be too late.

All of the nonprofit organizations selected to host financial coaches also provide services that complement financial coaching, such as job training and education, social, and housing services.

Greenway seeking support for national heritage area designation The Mountain to Sound Greenway, the 1.5 millionacre landscape between Puget Sound and Central Washington, has reintroduced legislation proposing it be named a National Heritage Area. This legislation was introduced last year and passed out of both chambers but was not voted on by Congress before the end of the year. This legislation’s promotion of tourism and outdoor recreation is intended to spark local economic growth by attracting people to the business and communities along the Greenway. The legislation has support from the mayors of Carnation, North Bend and Duvall and more than 5,000 businesses, nonprofits, and individuals. More than 3,000 hikers, kayakers, and bikers supported the National Heritage Area designation through the Outdoor Alliance. Fore details, visit http://mtsgreenway.org/heritage.

Fall City rafting business makes waves in the community By LAURIE NEEDHAM Contributed
What to do on these warm summer evenings? A visit to Fall City Community Park. I decided to see how things were “flowing” with the changes made by Fall City Community Association and the River Task Force over the past year. First I saw the signs, alerting rafters to the river take-out trail, directing floaters to the parking lot across the bridge. At the park, the parking lot was quite full, with a row of sani-cans and trash and recycle bins conveniently located. Then I spotted a huge semi-trailer emblazoned with “Fall City Floating”parked nearby and stacks blue and yellow tubes. A new business had popped up; I had to stop by. I spoke with owner Simon Briant, whose love of floating led him to give up a lucrative job at payroll processing company ADP, to start his own rafting business. Fall City Floating had only been open a week when we spoke, but he said business had been brisk, thanks to an exceptionally warm June. He’s a personable, fun loving guy and a savvy businessman, confident in himself and the success of his business. Besides the semi-trailer, which stores tools, coolers, tubes and life jackets, the business includes a kiosk Briant built, for conducting the financial and legal side of the business. A 19-person van pulls a tube trailer, also built by Briant. The van and trailer shuttle floaters and tubes between the river put-in and take-out locations.
Carpentry has been a hobby of Briant’s and he says it was rewarding to use those skills for this project. He’s already using Groupon to offer discounted float trips this summer. I asked Briant about how the community had responded to his business. He’s been a member of the Fall City Community Association since January and has attended every meeting since. He and his team volunteered throughout the spring to do clean up and some landscaping on the downtown side of the river. They also do trash pickup daily at Plum 1, Plum Boat Launch and the river exit trail. While the river is definitely busier this year, there is a noticeable difference in the amount of trash lying around. Briant’s biggest obstacle to setting up the business was getting a contract with King County to use the parking lot for his business. Negotiations started in October 2014 and went to June. Because the park is in a floodplain, he was initially told a business there would not be possible. After a few discussions with the county’s Department of Permits and Environmental Resources, they’d agreed that if Briant put everything on wheels, he could get the green light. Briant and his team clearly care about Fall City and want to create a better, safer, experience for floaters. His website gives very specific guidelines about what’s expected of customers: “Trash – there are three trash disposal and recycle points, two at the upstream entries and one at the exit. Do not discard

Jerome Klacsan, 86, died July 28, 2015 at his home in North Bend, Washington. Jerome was born June 14, 1929 in Omaha, Nebraska to Paul and Josie Klacsan. At age 19 Jerome came to Yakima to work for his uncle at Carrel Morton’s Nursery and at Del Monte Fruit Company. He moved to Seattle in 1951 where he married JoAnn Weibling in 1953.They moved to North Bend in 1955 and raised their family of three sons, Paul, Dane and Quinn. Jerome was a logger for over 35 years as a faller, bushler, and independent contractor. As a jack-of-all-trades, he enjoyed the challenge of building the family’s post and beam home. He could cook chicken to perfection and the family treasures his special recipe for hotcakes. Photography was a lifelong hobby and, although he couldn’t afford a Hasselblad, he did wonders in his own darkroom on pictures taken with his Leica. Jerome loved fishing, especially for steelhead, and tying his own flies. A hunter extraordinaire, he fed his family with over 25 elk, countless deer and goat. Jerome always lent a hand to help folks in the Snoqualmie Valley, always available to visit and comfort or to lend advice or equipment. As a Progressive Democrat, (‘cause Republicans don’t know how to share), he was a political activist with outspoken opinions. He was blessed with a great memory and his story-telling gift was phenomenal. He is survived by his wife, JoAnn, sons Paul (Tracy) and Dane, grandson Kevin Jerome, granddaughter Krystal Marie, and niece Diane Weibling, who gave him the title Mr. Wonderful. Jerome lived a great life although deeply saddened by the loss of his beloved son, Quinn, at age14. In celebration of Jerome’s life, the family would appreciate memorials to Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, P 0 Box 1541, North Bend, 98045 1377275

What’s a Jamboree? It’s been Alpine Days and Jamboree Days, and now it’s called the Festival at Mount Si, but the thing that doesn’t change is the spirit of the event. Whatever you call it, this weekend’s festival of music, art, fun and games is a celebration of summer, and of community. As always, Si View Community Park is the setting for most events of the Festival at Mount Si this Friday through Sunday, Aug. 7 to 9. Events start Friday with an arts show, booths, vendors and children’s activities at the park, plus a new youth band showcase, called the Big Bend Bash. “It’s going to be in the new community center, now that the remodel is done, and we’ll have a DJ dance party outside so they don’t conflict,” said
Festival at Mount Si Chairperson Jill Massengill. Also new to the event on Friday, is a modern take on the old torchlight parade, and Massengill is especially excited about what it could become. The glow light walk is a free-form homage to the nighttime parade of decades-past festivals. “We’re going to line people up and parade on the walkway at Si View Park,” said Massengill, “and people can come in costumes if they feel like it, and decorate themselves with glow sticks… You can turn yourself into a giraffe, or maybe a Martian.” Glow lights will be available for sale on the festival grounds, 5 to 9 p.m. Friday, or you can bring your own, as the spirit moves you. The regular parades are part of Saturday’s events. A children’s parade starts at 10:15 a.m. — line up at Downing Avenue on North Bend Way — followed by the grand parade at 10:30. Grand Marshal of the parade will be local musician and business owner Danny Kolke, founder of Boxley’s Place, the Boxley Music Fund, and the North Bend Jazz and Blues Walks.
Events continue all day at Si View, including an adult co-ed volleyball tournament and kids’ field games, both organized by Si View Parks, the three-day art show, the Burstin’ with Blueberries dessert contest judging at 12:30 (entries due by 11:45 a.m.), the always entertaining cherry pie eating contest at 2:15 p.m., the much-loved pet contest at 4 p.m. with prizes for best trick and best costume, live music on the main stage from noon on and community stage performances throughout the day, capped off by a fireworks display. On Sunday, come for a big chili cookoff, music by hometown favorite Austin Jenckes at noon, and the return of the wife-carrying contest. Massengill can’t help but laugh when she talks about this contest, introduced with great success to the festival last year. It’s a race for husbandand-wife teams to run, jump, crawl and spin through silly obstacles for the prize of the wife’s weight in beer.

However, the community center has a capacity of only 250, or about 5 percent of last year’s attendance for the Festival at Mount Si, so there’s a real possibility not everyone will get inside for the show. “That’s a risk that every organizer dreams of, right?” Horn laughs.

The Festival at Mount Si is introducing something new this year, the Big Bend Bash or “B3”, to it’s opening night schedule. B3 will feature four young bands, all under 21, in a Friday night show from 6 to 9 p.m. The show is being described as a “free, all-ages, high-energy concert” and promises to be loud. The band lineup includes LocoMotive (Snoqualmie alternative pop punk), Destination Unknown (Kent, punk funk), Asterhouse (Kenmore, emo alternative rock) and NG (Mercer Island, party rock and blues). Songs will be originals, influenced by the likes of Weezer, Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The White Stripes and Royal Blood. Gary Horn, B3 organizer, was inspired to put the event together. His two sons, Ryan and Ethan, play in LocoMotive, and he’s watched all of the other B3 bands perform in the past. “Having kids who are part of the local music network really helps,” he said. “Over the years we’ve watched a lot of bands perform and this lineup was handpicked. These bands are relatively young, but definitely have the ability to create an exciting and memorable experience. Trust me, this is going to be a fun show.” The idea for a youth-centric concert like B3 didn’t come up in festival planning meetings until May and the event almost didn’t happen at all. “We realized pretty quickly that a second outdoor music stage was cost-prohibitive. The stage, sound system and people to manage it were just too much,” Horn explained. Then Minna Rudd, recreation supervisor at Si View, and Jill Massengill, Festival at Mount Si president, came up with the idea of using the Si view Community Center to host the event. “Within minutes everything else just fell into place” ® Horn stated. “With a large indoor facility suddenly available, I knew we could pull something great together by August.”

Danny Kolke, founder of Boxley’s Place, has been named Grand Marshal for the Festival at Mount Si. Being named a Grand Marshal of a city event is something that he never pictured. “My reaction was ‘wow.’ I think I said that seven times in a row,” Kolke said. Having lived in the Valley for almost 18 years, Kolke has made his mark on the town of North Bend. He founded Boxley’s Place, a live jazz club and restaurant, with his wife six years ago. From there he created the Boxley Music Fund, A non-profit foundation that now owns the club, manages the music programming and hosts events like the North Bend Jazz Walk and Blues Walk. “You can make the argument that it would be more successful in a bigger city but I don’t know if that’s true or not. I think it has the advantage of being part of a small town and in a big city, if it goes away, nobody cares,” Kolke said. “In a small town we become part of the experience, so it’s nice to be part of a community.” Kolke not only created a jazz club in the city but also teaches kids jazz. He teaches piano, improvisation, and leads Mount Si High School’s Jazz Band 2. “The kids are learning everything from basic team collaboration, because there are a bunch of them on stage, there’s no arrangement so they are figuring this out on the fly, they also have to learn to be good communicators, who
is going to do what first and who goes next,” Kolke said. “There is so much thinking on your feet. I think it’s really great for kids.” According to Kolke, the reward from all of this is just to see students get excited about the music. “It’s fun to see kids learn it, and get excited about it, and do well with it,” Kolke said. “It’s rewarding in ways I never expected. We didn’t start this venue to do kids’ programming, it happened by accident and now I can’t imagine not doing it because it’s one of the best things about it.” One of the opportunities Boxley’s has given young players is the venue to play with older, more experienced musicians. There are times that Kolke has a 12-year-old playing with people who are 70, playing with somebody who’s 40. “These guys have become friends with people who could be their grandparents,” Kolke said. “It’s really cool to see them develop friendships performing together.” Last year Kolke let the Boxley Music Fund take over the restaurant, in addition to already running the music programming. More than 200 families are members of the Boxley Music Fund. “The goal is that it’s less about me and more about the community doing this together,” Kolke said. “I think it’s easy to get so busy and so wrapped up into routines and it’s easy to lose sight of things that are important and doing this project and connecting with the kids as often as I do is a great reminder that it’s very rewarding to invest in other people.” Through investing in other people, creating events like the jazz and blues walks and Boxley’s itself, Kolke has been able to share his love of music with the community. “Music is a magical thing, especially when you share it with other people and do it with other people; I can’t say enough positive about that.”

Sno Valley Winds love to play A band that got together on a dare is part of the musical lineup for the Festival at Mount Si. Sno Valley Winds takes to the Community Stage of the Festival Saturday at 5:30 p.m. The group is mostly made up of adult musicians of varying backgrounds, ranging from people who play professionally to people who haven’t played since high school.

That stunt caught on and so many people got into File Photo playing music again that they stayed Members of the Sno Valley Winds group, picutred here in a Railroad Days parade, are regular fixtures in community together and formed the Sno Valley Winds.

Wife-carrying, the sequel Couples’ race returns for more festival fun
It’s no sport for the faint of heart, but it might be for lightweights. The return of the wife-carrying contest to the Festival at Mount Si fun and games promises all of the excitement of the inaugural event, from the (gulp) public weighing-in of the wives to the final photo finish. Husbands and wives, or stunt wives in some cases, will compete in heats, running an obstacle course that includes balancing skills, water hazards and lots of laughs along the way. Because all the wives are weighed in advance, all the husbands will be handicapped to carry the same weight. The grand prize is beer, in fact, the winning wife’s weight in beer. Festival chairperson Jill Massengill is excited to bring back the event, and hoping for another good turnout. “We don’t have anyone sign up ahead of time, just like the pet contest, so we don’t know what the response will be. I just hope people can have a sense of humor about it.” she said in a conversation about the festival happenings. Last year’s winners, Chris and Kristin Dalla Santa, certainly did. The couple sped through the course with a time of 38.68 seconds and posed, this time with the wife carrying the husband, for a victory photo.

The silent auction of items donated by many local businesses is one of the event’s biggest fundraisers. Held Saturday from noon to 5 p.m., the auction will feature items from local and regional businesses. Items have a minimum bid, and the minimum raise is $1. There is also a buyout amount.

Snoqualmie Valley Record • August 5, 2015 • 21
By EVAN PAPPAS Staff Reporter
Local semi-pro baseball team, the Snoqualmie Valley Hurricanes, are making some big strides in bringing baseball to the Valley. Newly accepted into the Pacific International League of semi-pro baseball, the Hurricanes have been working on their young team by building up players from around the Valley and encouraging post-high school players to join. Started by North Bend local Peter Kairis, the Hurricanes are the result of many years of work building up a solid baseball program. Kairis’ interest in the sport was reignited when his son started to play, but once the expenses started to pile up, he knew there must be a better way. “I quickly found out how expensive baseball can be, from private lessons or even renting batting cages and pitching mounds,” Kairis said. “I figured it would be better to own it than rent it, and we have the property here and so we just decided to build it out.” Kairis started building out his property to be able to house multiple players, and as a training ground where they would be able to focus on improving their
Snoqualmie runner wins national race Joe Waskom of Snoqualmie on Saturday, Aug. 1, won the Junior Olympic National Championship in the 3000-meter race in the 13-14 year old division. His time of 9:23.67 was three seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. On Sunday, he competed in the 1500-meter race, finishing fifth, with a time of 4:15.64. Waskom will be a freshman at Mount Si High School this fall.
skills. “We started the garage in 2001 or 2002, and turned it into a club house over the last four or five years so we could start having more overnight kids and tournament baseball,” Kairis said. “It just kinda morphed into starting a team, getting our non-profit status, more cages, more pitching mounds, more netting, more stuff to get the kids to work out just so we weren’t spending the money on renting places.” He started with a U13 pony team and eventually wanted to start a team in the Pacific International League. Eventually all this work lead Kairis to start the Snoqualmie Valley Youth Athletic Association, a non-profit organization to promote sports, education, and life skills. Now that the Hurricanes are part of the league, a 501c3 non-profit organization, they can solicit corporate sponsors to support the team. Kairis has some history with baseball in the northwest and got a friend of his, former Mariners scout Dan Galaz, to be the Hurricanes’ Director of Player Development. “I met Dan seven years ago and we became friends and I realized Dan loved doing it for the kids,” Kairis said. “You can to go to any high school and Dan has his pitchers and hitters throughout all King County and all the KingCo leagues and Metro league.” Now that Kairis and Galaz have started a league team they have been recruiting and training the best players coming out of high school and going into college. “All the players are upper tier. These are the best kids out of their high school teams, the best kids on their college team that are playing for us,” Kairis said.

Mountains to Sound marks anniversary with Greenway Trek

Bikers head for the Snoqualmie Tunnel in Iron Horse State Park, part of the Greenway Trek.
Participants in the 25th anniversary of the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trek traversed the Greenway from east to west July 11 to 19. They hiked and biked across the Greenway to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original Greenway March, where the concept of a Greenway along Interstate 90 was born and citizens were inspired to thoughtfully shape this region’s growth. “The 25th Anniversary Greenway Trek was an adventure not soon to be forgotten,” says Dale Hoff, Trek participant. “With backpacks loaded with enthusiasm and perseverance, we peddled and hiked our way along 133 miles of the Mountains to Sound Greenway from Ellensburg to Seattle.”
Trek explorers enjoyed spectacular trails, mountains, and communities, on a fully supported biking, hiking, and camping excursion. As momentum grows in the area for making the Greenway a National Heritage Area, the Trek provided a unique opportunity to experience the heritage, scenery, and recreation that makes the Greenway nationally acclaimed. Highlights of the Trek include traveling through 100year old former railway tunnels on the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, discovering some of the lesser-known scenic trails in the Cascade Mountains and Issaquah Alps, and visiting the many welcoming communities along the way.

On July 19, North Bend resident Chris Breeds took part in a half-marathon that raised $2.6 million for Crohn’s disease research and awareness. Breeds, president of Subterra Inc. in North Bend, was first turned on to the impact of Crohn’s disease when a family member was diagnosed with the disease. It was through that experience that Breeds was motivated to join the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America and fight Crohn’s and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The foundation introduced Breeds and his wife, Trish, to Team Challenge, an endurance training and fundraising program at the foundation that gets people to run or walk a half-marathon as a way to raise money for more research into Courtesy Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
