A bottle full of black and white marbles is passed around the room as each person drops one into their hands. If you get a white marble, you are in. If not, you are sent home. Lee Soptich takes a marble. It’s white. After a 15-year career as Fire Chief of Eastside Fire and Rescue and decades as a firefighter, Soptich retired on Nov. 30. Reminiscing about his career, he spoke about the marble game he had to play to join the volunteer firefighters in Selah, in 1975. “It went around the table and you put a marble in your hand. If it was white, you’re in, if it was black, you’re out. It only took one black marble for you to be out,” Soptich said. “That’s how I got started in the fire service and then they just said ‘Here’s your equipment, when you hear the fire whistle we’ll show you what to do.’” Born in Selah, Soptich joined the volunteer firefighters when he was 18. Within a month of volunteerPhoto by Robin Marie Photography ing, he was hooked and knew that Carnation boy Tim Bennett takes Fire Chief Lee Soptich’s blood pressure at the he always wanted to be involved 2015 Carnation Fourth of July celebration, and open house at the Carnation with fire services.

City property taxes set for 2016
Snoqualmie Carnation, take tax increases for 2016, North Bend opts out By CAROL LADWIG Editor
As of Nov. 30, Valley cities had set their property tax levies for 2016. Two, Snoqualmie
and Carnation, approved the 1 percent annual increase allowed by state law; North Bend approved a 0 percent increase, for the second year in a row. Effective Jan. 1, 2016, the city of Snoqualmie’s total tax levy will be $6,728,000, which includes an increase of $52,946, just under the 1 percent limit. The total levy also includes a tax for repayment of the debt voters approved in 2002 to build a new fire station. These taxes combined result in a city tax rate of $2.68 per $1,000 of a property’s assessed value in 2016, which would total $1,315 in taxes for a $490,000 home ($490,000 is the average home price in Snoqualmie).
“I remember as a teenage firefighter the excitement was ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen, I don’t know if there is going to be a call, and I don’t know what kind of call it’s going to be,’” he said. “That’s what drew me to it, the challenge of the unknown, and that’s what kept me in it.” From volunteering in Selah, he was hired on as a firefighter in Yakima in 1979 and eventually became the Carnation Fire Chief in 1986. Thinking back on his days as an active firefighter, Soptich recalls some of the tight spots he got himself into. “We were going upstairs thinking the fire was there when it was actually in the basement,” he said. “So it burnt out the stairwell and we fell through the stairs. “I laugh about it now because there were two of us and we fell into a closet on the main floor. I remember our officer coming around, opening the door and saying ’Hey, are you guys going to put the fire out or not?’” After a couple years, the Carnation department merged with Fire District 10. In 1995, the fire chief of the merged district stepped down and Soptich got the job. After four years in that role, Carnation, District 10, Issaquah, and North Bend all came together to form Eastside Fire and Rescue (EFR). After the first year of EFR’s operation, the fire chief left and Soptich was offered the position. He has been the fire chief of EFR since 2000. SEE FIRE CHIEF, 2
Carnation’s tax levy will total $269,767, which includes an additional $2,553 for the 1 percent increase in property tax revenue. The total includes $12,000 from a new construction levy, setting the city’s 2016 tax rate at $1.26 per $1,000 of assessed value. For the average home in Carnation, valued at $618,000, it’s $791 in taxes. North Bend’s total levy, which also includes debt service for a fire station bond, will be $1,694,491, for a rate of $1.44 per $1,000 of assessed value. For the average home in North Bend, valued at $582,000, it’s $838 in taxes. SEE PROPERTY TAX, 3

FIRE CHIEF FROM 1 “What was attractive to me was the communities we serve. North Bend, Sammamish, Issaquah, District 10, Carnation, they are very different,” he said. “You come here and you’ve got it all. You’ve got floods and wind storms and wild-land fires and rescues and commercial building, residential stuff. It’s just so diverse.” The various groups that Soptich has worked for have all needed different things from him. When he was hired in Carnation it was to take an all-volunteer fire department and build it into an organization that was capable and sustainable. When he came to District 10, it was going through an explosive period of growth. “What we were trying to do was build a structure that could support a combination volunteer and staff fire department. That was an exciting time,” Soptich said. With EFR, Soptich has had to coordinate the five communities, working together to provide one level of service throughout the area, rather than five different service levels and capabilities. After 15 years as fire chief, he feels lucky that he was able to foster an environment in which talented people were able to work together. He said he has always

Lee Soptich, Eastside Fire & Rescue Fire Chief for the past 15 years, has officially retired from the department on Nov. 30. His interim replacement is Greg Tryon. been around people who have had a huge passion for public service and that has helped motivate him, as well. “The department is in great shape,” Soptich said. “It’s a stable organization and it’s got wonderfully talented people stepping up to fill roles.” This week, EFR began the interview process of the four candidates for the new fire chief. One of them, Greg Tryon, is acting as interim chief. Soptich is confident EFR has done a good job preparing people to step up to these positions and to take EFR into the future. He said seeing the fire services
evolve over the years has been a great part about looking back on his career. One of the biggest elements of this is the communication and assistance between neighboring fire departments. “Thirty years ago, fire departments were very territorial and it was really stupid. ‘This fire is in Yakima and I’ll be damned if I’m going to ask for any help from another fire department.’ People would let things burn down out of pride. Today there is no shame in asking for help and asking quickly,” he said. Another aspect of growth he has seen during his long career is the multifaceted nature of modern fire services. No longer are they only
dealing with fires. According to Soptich, in the ‘70s they became an EMS response group. In the ‘80s, it was all about hazardous materials. In the ‘90s, it became emergency management disaster planning. “It seems that about every decade something new comes along and gets added to the plate of the traditional fire department and I think it’s good,” Soptich said. Now something new is coming to Soptich’s life as well, retirement. But before he left he wanted to express his gratitude to the people who have helped him along the way. “I’ve had incredible mentors over the years,” he said. “Peers, subordinates, elected officials, friends, and they believed in me, they were supportive, they were forgiving. I’ve had a wonderful career. I was in the right place in the right time. I’m forever grateful.”
Eastside Baby Corner hosts open house tours Eastside Baby Corner welcomes the community to tour its Issaquah hub during two open houses, 9 a.m. to noon, Thursdays, Dec. 10 and 17. The open houses are designed to let supporters go behind the scenes and see the work their donations of time, goods and money make possible. “Our mission of helping local kids have what they need to thrive is only made possible because of the generosity of the local community” said EBC Executive Director, Renee Zimmerman. “From the people who donate goods, to the volunteers, to the people who support us financially, each person has a role to play in making this little-engine-that-could organization so successful.” During the tours, EBC will offer cider and refreshments.

Rotary donates $7,500 to Valley food bank
PROPERTY TAX FROM A1 Each city will actually see slight revenue increases, however, due to 2015 growth and development. Snoqualmie’s City Council approved the levy amount at its Monday, Nov. 9 regular meeting. The North Bend and Carnation City Councils approved their tax levy amounts at their meetings, both on Tuesday, Nov. 17. Cities allocate the funds differently, but each uses property tax revenue for the same basic services, such as public safety, street and sidewalk maintenance, park maintenance and employee wages. Snoqualmie officials recommend a video by the King County Assessor’s Office for an overview of how someone’s home assessment affects their property tax levy. Watch the video at https://vimeo.com/140985589.

News Briefs
Snoqualmie’s Main Street open, just not officially
Missing North Bend man found, killed in apparent fall The Grant County Coroner’s Office has identified a body found near Royal City last week as missing hunter Thomas Steig, of North Bend. After not returning from a one-day hunting trip Nov. 20, Stieg was determined to be missing and search parties were sent out to look for him. His body was found the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 25. More than 100 people participated in the search for Stieg, which began Nov. 21 in frigid temperatures. Grant County Coroner’s Office investigator K.C. Sherwood said the coroner performed an autopsy and found that Steig died from an accidental fall. They are not suspecting any foul play to be involved.
Even though Railroad Avenue in Snoqualmie is open to the public, it is still not officially complete, according to the city of Snoqualmie. Joan Pliego, communications coordinator for the city, said that there are still a few punch-list items to be approved before the project can be declared officially complete. The city has not specified plans for additional Main Street work, but is currently working on construction of a roundabout on S.R. 203 at Tokul Road. The project is due to be complete this spring.

grant, awarded Nov. 20, was one of 142 awards approved by the board, for a total expenditure of $116.8 million to four programs. There were 378 applications submitted in this grant cycle. The city of Duvall applied to the Urban Arterial Program. To date, the city has secured more than $6 million in construction funding for this project: $1.5 million from TIB in 2016; $1.05 million from Puget Sound Regional Council in 2015; and $3.5 million from TIB in 2015. “This project will provide a dramatic benefit to the safety of pedestrians and motorists traveling along Main Street, while also increasing the aesthetic and economic appeal of the corridor. Most importantly, when construction is completed the city and citizens of Duvall will have realized the goals and dreams of a decades-long planning process,” said Duvall City Administrator Matthew Morton. The project, estimated to cost $7.5 million, will install curb, gutter and sidewalks as well as illumination, underground utility lines, and general roadway improvements in an area of 203 dangerous to both pedestrians and motorists. The project is designed to blend seamlessly with the improvements installed at Coe Clemons Creek earlier this summer and will greatly increase safety and connectivity to homes and businesses located between downtown and Big Rock Road. The city is close to completing permitting and right of way acquisitions for the project and is on track to begin construction of the project early in 2016.

W
ho else is ready for the tree lightings this week-
end and next? I know we are, and I hope that most of you are, too, or at least ready to show up for one or more of them. These festivals, like a lot of comCAROL LADWIG munity events Editor that seem to just magically happen every year, actually rely on commu-
nity members to attend them. There’s no RSVP process, no tickets to be bought, and no way for organizers to really know in advance how many people to expect. There is, however, always someone counting heads. You’ve probably seen the counters, lingering at the edges of an event, thumbing the buttons on hand-held clickers; make sure they see you, too. The numbers these people report after an event can have a direct effect on the price of admission to next year’s event, especially the free ones. Free events are not free to put on. They require funding, people power, and often, sponsorships, such as the grants recently awarded to Valley organizations from King County’s 4Culture organization. Sponsors want to know how broad the reach of an event is — how many people attended and saw their sponsorship logo, in simple terms. They want to calculate their return on investment, and whether they might
reach more people through a different sponsorship in the future. That’s why people are counting heads at events, and why organizations include volunteer hours, another way of reaching people, in annual reports. Your physical presence is worth at least as much as any fiscal contribution you make. There’s not a one-to-one connection between the people who show up this year and the amount of funding awarded to an event next year, but the headcount numbers are part of the formula. There are lots of reasons to come out for community events, and that’s before you add hot cocoa and Santa. Correction: In last week’s report, “Working at the food bank,” the headline incorrectly identified the food bank of the story. The organization is the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank, 122 E. Third Street, North Bend, www.snoqualmievalleyfoodbank.org.
Are you getting a real tree or a fake tree?
Fake Tree. Our son was allergic to real trees so we went to fake trees and have just stuck with them ever since.
This year it’s a real one. For the last 15 years we have had a fake one and it’s just too big and too much trouble. We are going for a small, real one. Glenn Boldenow Chris Catanzaro Snoqualmie North Bend
It’s gotta be real. Plastic trees last a lot longer but they never disintegrate and they eventually end up in a landfill.
We are going to go for a real one. We are going to cut it down ourselves. We’ve never done it before so I think it would be kind of different and special. Patty Thompson Melanie Galbraith Snoqualmie Black Diamond
• Mayor Jeanne Hansen reckoned well over 300 homes in Snoqualmie were damaged in last weekend’s devastating flood. The disaster also likely claimed the life of a Duvall man who apparently ignored road-closure signs and attempted to cross a submerged bridge across the Valley. Many residents up and down the Valley were steeped in misery and anger at the loss of their belongings and the fouling of their homes, especially so soon after a record-breaking flood in 1986. •The severe weather last weekend played some havoc for customers of telephone utilities, according to area manager Barry Dardis. During the high winds on Friday, falling trees caused some facility damage on the North Fork Road and the Edgewick Road. At some point, the repair crews decided they should switch their attention from winds to flooding, and the North Fork crew was trapped for some time.
Thursday, Dec. 2, 1965 • Fire completely destroyed the Ray Bosworth home on Dairy Lake Road at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday near Edgewick. North Bend firemen who answered the alarm reported the fire started when the three Bosworth children had returned from school and were attempting to start a fire in the wood stove. Both parents were at work. The children escaped uninjured from the blazing house. Mr. Bosworth told Chief Weller the loss was partially covered by insurance. •Gerald D. Gunderson 16, of Fall City, was involved in a non-injury accident at the intersection of Fourth and Orchard in Fall City at 7:20 a.m. on Nov. 28. Investigating officer Mel Bosworth reports Gunderson, eastbound on Fourth, attempted a left turn onto Orchard, lost control and left the roadway, striking a house. Damage to his ’65 Ford pickup was estimated at $200.

I feel King County has missed a huge opportunity in not selecting Seattle Tilth’s proposal for the Tall Chief property (Back to the Farm, Nov. 18) instead of the Keller dairy proposal. King County has done an excellent job with the 2014 Local Food Initiative which supports increasing the amount of local food grown and the development of new farmers in the county and I totally support the goals of that initiative. The sale of the property to the Keller dairy, however, does not meet the goals of the initiative. Selling the property to the dairy reduces the feed costs of an already large operation and does not increase local food production at all. It also does not aid in the development of future farmers, aside from the Keller family children. The Tilth proposal would have grown organic food for the people in King County, not feed for dairy cows. Tilth’s farm incubator program would have helped train future farmers who could later add to the amount of local food production in the Valley and elsewhere in King County. They scored significantly higher in the selection criteria on this point as well as in education opportunities. Keeping in the spirit of the local food initiative the county would have been much better off selecting Seattle Tilth to receive this property. Tim Harris Fall City
Sale of Fall City property is ill-advised The county’s proposed Tall Chief sale is controversial. We, the public, now own this very special property. But soon, it will be closed to the public, trees will be cut down, feed corn will be planted, and three private homes could be built by one of the single largest landowners in the Valley. I suppose this is better than the previously proposed subdivision. The county approved that subdivision and then bought the property

for over $4 million. Selling it now for far less should raise red flags. Your article (Nov. 18) gave one side of this controversy a glowing report. By not making the effort to be balanced, you missed the story. The county issued a request for proposal and then ignored its own criteria. There are no guarantees of new food production or opportunities to develop new farmers. There are no guarantees for environmental protection. There is no consistency with the county’s local food initiative. There was no community participation in the selection process. There are no guarantees of public benefit. There are no programs to support and sustain surrounding farming activities. There is a reason why more than 4.400 people have signed a petition against this proposal. Go to www. savetallchief.com and learn more about this ill-advised hasty sale of what should be a treasured public asset for the entire Snoqualmie Valley and King County. Catherine de Marin Fall City
Process for Tall Chief property sale was flawed “Back to the farm” (Nov. 18) reads like a press release. Please check out http://www.savetallchief.com for different views. The county has been the Tall Chief owner for over two years. A mossy roof, lack of heat and ventilation supporting mold growth, blackberry growth and other “neglect” of the property is a county responsibility, fix it. King County values each “development unit” at $187,000. Why is King County selling two additional development units (home credits) for $160,000 and $105,000 each? This price is fixed for up to 10 years without regard to the current market value. If stopping development is the main objective, why allow subsidized “home credits” where each also allows an additional accessory dwelling unit? These additional dwellings are too much for too little. Where were the Snoqualmie Valley voices on the committee? Not having a single Valley member feels like a decision that is being
The Carnation project, converting 119 street lights, will help Puget Sound Energy sort out the logistics of the effort, which will involve more than 6,000 lights in PSE’s seven counties. The TIB plans to convert streetlights in 220 low-tax-base cities statewide. Steve Gorcester, Executive Director of the Transportation Improvement Board, said they’ve launched small cities on an accelerated timeline in an effort to reap the greatest cost-savings. “We are speeding up our grants process so cities and their rate-

imposed by outside “experts.” I disagree with Director True’s statement that “we don’t tell farmers what to grow or how to farm.” A subsidized agricultural easement valued at over $2.8 million is sufficient public investment to require the best farming practices. The purchase and sale agreement only “strongly encourages Landowner to farm and use the Agricultural Area for agricultural uses.” Requiring agricultural use along with Salmon Safe and organic practices are reasonable requirements given the significant public investment. Tilth would be a strong first choice if best farm practices and other public benefits were valued over a financial return to the county. John Chaney Fall City
County should redo proposal process for Tall Chief I read the RFP, the Keller proposal, and the scoring, and was perplexed by the decision to sell Tall Chief to the Keller dairy. I wrote proposals for public works projects for many years. It is strange that the county did not require any letters of commitment from the five organic farms referenced in the Keller proposal, as they are major players achieving the scope of work by the dairy. By not requiring partners to state their commitment in the proposal and then not even confirming the assertions made in that proposal, the county has declared that a proposal where material misrepresentations were made, the winner. This is a serious problem now that at least some of those organic farms have protested their inclusion without their knowledge and calls into question the entire process. Further concerning is the county’s rush to push this flawed decision forward and justify it on grounds that have nothing to do with the original RFP. The RFP asserted the evaluation team would include community members but did not include any residents of the Snoqualmie Valley which would have known that misrepresentations were made. The county
payers can start enjoying the cost savings.” Puget Sound Energy and the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) have been working since 2013 to initiate LED conversion throughout their small city customer base. Six small cities got 2,000 street lights in 2013 under live testing by the TIB. The tests produced excellent cost and energy savings and spawned the statewide effort. After LED conversion, the cities saw lower street light bills by about 30 percent each month.
should throw out this round, ask for resubmissions, have a different panel of reviewers and adjust the RFP for their errors. The county should require proposers to give a presentation on their plan so questions can be asked and clarifications made. Then, it will be clear to the taxpayers and local citizens that the process is fair and not politically motivated. Becky Davie Fall City
Community goals for Tall Chief won’t be met with sale I’ve lived and farmed for more than 25 years just one mile downstream from the former Tall Chief Golf course. In the article about the golf course property that ran (Nov. 18), county personnel stated they could not tell people how to farm. I wouldn’t do that either, but the Tall Chief property was purchased with public tax dollars. In selling the Tall Chief, the county first canvased the community to find out what we wanted to see the Tall Chief used for, establishing specific goals/ expectations for the property. Among these goals were that the use of the Tall Chief should be awarded to someone who had demonstrated a commitment to “sustainable and environmentally appropriate farming practices.” Other goals were to “use the assets of Tall Chief Farm to increase the amount of locally produced food,” “to protect and restore the soil, water, and forest resources of the site through stewardship,” and especially that these uses would provide “broader community benefit in the Snoqualmie Valley or beyond.” There was a proposal that would have achieved all these goals: The Seattle Tilth Proposal. Instead the selection committee, lacking Valley input, chose a single farm to be the sole beneficiary. This decision is not yet final. I would urge everyone to see a webpage created by people who want to see the county stick to the goals established by the citizens of our community. To view both proposals, and to learn more, go to www. savetallchief.com.
Now with the start of the statewide effort, Carnation’s $1,500 street light bill will drop by nearly $500 per month. Immediately after the Carnation project, PSE will transition four Pierce County cities, Carbonado, Wilkeson, South Prairie and Roy in December, replacing another 160 lights. Buckley already received LED street lights as a demonstration project in 2013. All small cities in the PSE service area are scheduled for new street lights by the end of 2016. The program supports Gov. Jay Inslee’s call for increased energy

efficiency across state and local government as a way of curbing climate emissions and reducing energy costs. Inslee issued an executive order in 2014 that directed agencies to “upgrade the energy efficiency of all street lighting within the state.” Puget Sound Energy serves 57 small cities in Island, King, Kittitas, Pierce, Skagit, Thurston, and Whatcom Counties. The TIB makes and manages state street and sidewalk grants. Revenue comes from three cents of the state fuel tax and driver’s license renewal fees.

The local YMCA Daddy Daughter Adventure Guides program “Rainbow Sparkles” began a holiday project two weeks ago to help those in need for a Thanksgiving meal. They gathered donations for more than 100 boxes, packed with all the ingredients for Thanksgiving dinner. The group, with help from a local Boy Scout troop, worked together to assemble and decorate the boxes before bringing them to the Mount Si Food Bank. This is the second year in a row the adventure guides have supported the food bank. Each box included a $20 gift card for turkey, canned fruits, canned vegetables, instant mashed potatoes, stuffing mix, cranberries, baking mix, pie crust and filling, and jam.

Hospital commission splits on budget, tax levy In a contentious meeting of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital commissioners on Nov. 12, board members approved a 2016 budget and tax levy in split votes. The first resolution of the night was the approval of the district’s budget and tax levy for 2016 and approving the limit factor for the District’s 2016 regular property tax. Some of thecommissioners took issue with a budget line item, “other expenses,” saying the total allocation $633,804 was too high. After some heated debate, commissioner David Speikers proposed an amendment to the resolution to lower the total “other expenses” by $100,000. After a vote the amendment to the resolution was approved. The resolution itself was also approved, with only commissioner Gene Pollard opposing it. The second resolution was for approving an increase in the district’s property tax for 2016. Steve Daniel, CFO for the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital, explained that, while they have an estimate of the property taxes, they will not know the final tax levy amount until December. However, the hospital district is required by law to adopt a tax levy resolution by Nov. 15. Speikers proposed an amendment to set up a blocked account of $34,591 to pay bond debt when they become due. Both the amendment and the resolution itself passed with only Pollard opposed due to disagreement over the Nov. 15 date. Resolution three, concerning some property that had been deemed surplus and was no longer of use to the district, was passed with relative ease. Resolution four, approving the settlement agreement with the Washington State Department of Revenue, was also passed with little debate. Commissioner Speikers said that the DoR was very reasonable and they could have been much harsher. The next hospital commissioner meeting is set for 6:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 3 at Snoqualmie City Hall.

WANIC school network gives Valley students intro to career skills BY SAMANTHA PAK Redmond Reporter
The summer after his sophomore year in high school, Ryan Smith knew he was interested in firefighting. So he began looking into the different options and programs available to him as a high school student. Initially, as a Running Start student, he planned to enter the fire science degree program at Bellevue College (BC). However, he said that following school year, BC closed the program. Following this news, Smith’s school counselor at Emerson K-12 in Kirkland suggested he enroll in the fire and EMS course through the Washington Network for Innovative Careers (WANIC) Skill Center.
An inter-district effort WANIC is a consortium made up of seven school districts from the Eastside: Bellevue, Issaquah, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Northshore, Riverview and Snoqualmie Valley. Through this partnership, the districts share career and technical education (CTE) programs and high school students from any of the participating districts are able to enroll in any of the courses — even those that are not at their home school or home district. Courses are offered at a number of locations throughout the districts, including Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWIT) in Kirkland and DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond as well as in schools in the Northshore, Bellevue and Issaquah school districts. And like in Running Start, students must provide their own transportation to get to these courses. And while courses are offered all over the Eastside, Lake Washington School District (LWSD) is the host district for

WANIC. Dan Phelan, career technical education (CTE) director for LWSD, said in this role, they are responsible for budgeting, auditing accounting and reporting WANIC programs. In addition, he said students in any of the WANIC programs will appear as LWSD Skill Center student enrollment — one of the reasons the district had a higher-than-average spike in enrollment this school year. And because WANIC is part of public school districts, there is no cost to students. However, there may be course or lab fees for supplies and other costs, just as typical high school courses may require. Phelan added that if students find themselves unable to pay any required fees, WANIC will find the funds to help them. “Money should never hold a kid back (from enrolling in the program),” he said.

Fields of study WANIC is a state-approved inter-district CTE consortium, WANIC’s primary mission is to provide quality, diverse and costeffective career and technical education for all students. “It was established to provide advanced-level career and technical education program based upon rigorous academic and industry standards to prepare students for post-secondary education and successful entry into high-skill, high-demand careers and employment,” Phelan said. In addition, Karen Hay, director of WANIC, said students can receive college credits for the WANIC courses they take, bringing them that much closer to a degree. WANIC classes can also shorten the time it takes for them to earn specific certifications in their chosen field. The different areas of study offered through WANIC are: Arts, media, communication and design; business management; natural resources and agri-science; engineering, science and technology; health and human services; and information technology. Specific WANIC courses include interior design, horticulture, welding technology, design and fabrication, DigiPen robotics

North Bend receives national award for budget presentation The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) has announced the city of North Bend has been awarded the GFOA’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for its 2015-2016 biennial budget. The award represents a significant achievement and reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. In order to receive the award, North Bend had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. The guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a policy

and future technologies, sports medicine, CISCO Networking Academy and fire and EMS. Hay said WANIC has 13 skill centers that are three class-periods long and in which students can earn three credits. She said the program also offers one and two credit courses that are one period long. There are also three-week courses students can take during the summer.
Career training and more Smith enrolled in the fire and EMS course his junior year and now as a senior, is still in the program. “It’s a great program,” he said. In the fire and EMS course, Smith has gained firefighting, first aid and medical knowledge. Smith said his class also includes spending time at various fire stations in the area for more hands-on experiences such as receiving bunker gear, performing drills and working in student “company” groups just as firefighters work in engine companies. Jack Greaves — who is the director of the fire and EMS program and runs First-In Training Education, the nonprofit WANIC hired to run the courses — said
students learn basic fundamentals of firefighting and first responder medical training and also learn to work together in teams. He said this gives them the opportunity to get comfortable with the duties they would be tasked with on the job. When asked if he would have participated in such a program if it were available to him when he was in high school, Greaves — a firefighter — said he definitely would have signed up. Greaves added that a former fire chief he brought in to speak with students one day voiced his amazement that such a course is available to high school students. In addition to the technical and skills training they receive through WANIC, both Greaves and Smith said there are skills students learn that can be applied to any field. These include leadership and communication skills, accountability and punctuality. Smith added that the WANIC courses are character building and they give students the opportunity to meet and connect with other students they probably would not have otherwise because they are in different schools and districts. He said the people — students and instructors alike — are his favor-
document, a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communications device. Budget documents must be rated proficient in all four categories, and 14 criteria within those categories, to receive the award. In addition, the GFOA presented a certificate of recognition to the North Bend Finance Department. This is North Bend’s seventh National GFOA Award for Budget Publications. The publication is reviewed by peers across the U.S. under the sponsorship of the Government Finance Officers Association. “We are extremely proud of Assistant City Administrator/Finance Director Dawn Masko, Deputy Finance Director Beth Wright and the entire finance department” said North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing.

ite part of being part of WANIC. Smith said he is still in contact with students from last year and has become close friends with a number of people.
A win-win opportunity While WANIC exposes students to possible career paths and offers an affordable option to set them on that path, the program may also have the opposite effect: Students may go through a course only to learn that they do not want to pursue a career in that particular field. “That’s a win,” Hay said, because it saves them time and money as they are not spending years paying for college courses they learn they do not enjoy. She said that lesson is just as important to learn as finding your passion. Smith agreed, saying it is definitely good to learn whether you are really interested in a field before spending thousands of dollars to attend college (or in his case a firefighting academy) only to learn you don’t like the subject matter. Fortunately for Smith, he has learned he really does enjoy firefighting. “I love it,” he said.

Held at the historic Carnation Farm, Grow included food and wine pairings, an auction and camper Stage Night, experiencing just a hint of the magic that 4,655 campers and families enjoy all year round. The event was hosted by KOMO weather anchor Steve Pool and retired news anchor Dan Lewis, a Camp Korey board member. “Since I retired from KOMO 4 News I’ve had time to get more involved with Camp Korey and to see the multitude of magical moments that happen at this amazing place,” said Lewis. Camp Korey is the only SeriousFun Camp in the Pacific Northwest, hosting life changing programs throughout the year for children living with serious medical conditions. “Our programs are designed to be accessible for all,” said Executive Director, Hillary Carey. “At camp kids are kids first and foremost, and their medical conditions take a back seat to all the adventures and fun they are going to have. We work to build their sense of self, fill up their reservoir of courage, and challenge their perceived boundaries.”

Frosty the Snowman, Santa Claus, and Tiny Tim are coming to North Bend on Dec. 3 as part of the Valley Center Stage’s new production, “’Tis the Season”. “‘Tis the Season” isn’t your average play. Instead of one story being performed on stage, “‘Tis the season” is a collection of stories, songs, poems, and monologues about the holidays. Jim Synder, director of this production, thought that an anthology-type show would work well for the holiday season. “We needed a holiday show, It’s an audience pleasing time of year. I’ve put together assemblages of monologues and stories and songs and scenes before and it’s gone well. We thought it would fit really well for the holiday season,” Synder said. “There are holiday songs, some very funny ones, a few touching ones thrown in, and some funny scenes that are appropriate for people of all ages and a couple of monologues where people tell their own story.” Craig Ewing, a performer at the theater for over 12 years, explained that after doing Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” as the only holiday show for many years, the Valley Center Stage decided they needed to switch things up. “We decided we wanted

So it’s a mashup of Dickens’ Christmas Carol and Sherlock Holmes. It went over very well.” The Valley Center Stage has a strong community atmosphere as each of the actors are volunteers who come out to perform for fun. Greg Lucas, a community member looking for an artistic outlet, found that the community theater was a great place for him. “I work a nine to five and I need something like an artistic outlet. I just started looking around online and saw that they just started auditioning for Dracula, which was the first show I auditioned for,” Lucas said. “It was intimidating, but this theater is a great theater. Everyone here is super welcoming and really supportive of each other.” The adults aren’t the only ones who get to act, there are kids who participate
