Reading is an essential skill, but it doesn’t come easy to everyone. Children who struggle are often frustrated and learn to dislike reading. This year, the Snoqualmie Valley School District has revamped its reading workshop to include both parents and children in order to help foster a love of reading and learning. Janice Formisano, Title I program specialist for reading and math intervention in the Snoqualmie Valley School District, runs workshops throughout the year at all of the Valley elementary schools to help kids and parents find ways to promote reading.

Fire districts consider combining By SVR Staff
North Bend and Carnation-area residents may be asked to consider combining their fire protection districts early next year. Officials with Fire District 38, covering unincorporated parts of North Bend, and Fire District 10, covering unincorporated Carnation, are discussing a merger of the two districts to keep costs down and maintain their service levels. “It’s a question of sustainability,” said Fire Authority Planning Chair Mike Mitchell. “Working together as one fire authority would stabilize funding for emergency services and is more efficient for taxpayers in both fire districts.”
The Regional Fire Authority is the group that, with representatives from districts 10 and 38, has been examining the possibilities of the merger and planning a series of public meetings in February to get voters in both areas on board. Mitchell, also a Fire District 10 commissioner, said the district has considered and abandoned various merger ideas over the years, but the possibility of combining districts 10 and 38, both part of the regional Eastside Fire and Rescue partnership, became a discussion topic in early 2015. “We just started this, this year,” said Mitchell in a phone conversation with the Record. “The districts are shrinking with annexations from the cities, and as we each become smaller, there’s an economy of scale for us to combine.” Fire District 10 covers covering 129 square miles and about 30,000 people. Fire District 38 covers 24 miles and about 10,000 people. Under the combined fire authority, funding for emergency services would come primarily from a fire protection levy of $1 per $1,000 of a property’s assessed value. Additional revenue would
come from a fire benefit charge, something district 10 has already implemented, but 38 has not. The fire benefit charge is an additional property tax, established by district boards through a public process and approved by voters every six years. The benefit charge is exempt from the $5.90 per thousand maximum tax rate allowed by the state, and not directly related to the property’s assessed value. Smaller structures (such as singlefamily homes) are charged less than larger buildings because it costs less to defend them in a fire. “There are different rates for different types of structures,” Mitchell said. The fire authority would develop its benefit charge based on Fire District 10’s formula, considered successful since voters overwhelmingly approved renewing the charge in the November general election. In 2015, the owner of a 2,500 square-foot home with a two-car garage paid $216.89. All property owners have the right to appeal their assessments. SEE COMBINING, 3

JazzClubsNW, a non-profit organization dedicated to live jazz performance and educational programs in the Pacific Northwest, has hired Gregory Malcolm as its first executive director. The creation of this role marks a pivotal moment for the organization, previously called the Boxley Music Fund, going from volunteer-run with a focus on the Snoqualmie Valley to a professionally directed network expanding throughout the Pacific Northwest. “Over the past six years at Boxley’s we’ve developed and refined a member-supported model for bringing jazz students together with pros on the local and national scenes,” said Danny Kolke, who founded the North Bend-based club. “When I started getting calls from communities as far as Portland and... Vancouver, B.C., I knew it was time to bring in a professional to run the organization.” Malcolm has more than 17 years of experience in leadership positions for non-profit organizations in the Pacific Northwest including the Swedish Medical Center Foundation, Encompass and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. In his new role, he will professionalize the organization’s fundraising and oversee development of a sustainable, repeatable, and scalable business model.

Snoqualmie City Council OKs new retail development agreement for Ridge lots Snoqualmie residents could be getting a new 55,000 square foot full-service grocery store, gas station, and drive-through businesses if the city’s new agreement with EDG development is signed by the end of this month. The Snoqualmie city council approved a development agreement for a new grocery store and retail spaces at the Dec. 14 City Council meeting. The proposed development would be on lots 11 and 12 on the corner of Snoqualmie Parkway and S.E. Douglas Street. The development agreement must be signed by Dec. 30 by EDG Development, the company planning to buy and develop the site, once they complete their purchase of the property from Puget Western Incorporated. Mark Hofman, community development director for the city of Snoqualmie, said that once the agreement is signed, amendments concerning development standards and layouts would become active. “Tom Erlandson (of EDG Development) would become the owner, sign the development agreement and return it to the city,” Hofman said. “Then all of the
amendments to documents would go into effect. The mixed-use final plan, essentially the master plan design for the Ridge, the development standards that apply to those two lots for lighting, landscaping, access and signage, and the binding site improvement plan which shows layouts of lots and access.” According to Hofman, the purchase of the lots should take place within the next week or two and planning of site designs and landscaping will come after that. The primary purpose of this development is to provide services beyond what Snoqualmie already has in order to combat retail leakage, residents shopping in other towns, and to provide more options for shoppers, he explained. “We have the IGA but the major component is a 30,000 to 55,000 square-foot grocery store. Midrange, the existing IGA is about 20,000 so this is that next step above it,” he said. “The development agreement said other uses are allowed such as a drive-through and other small retail uses. Two of those are for food and beverage, and the other two are reserved for potential fuel sales. If a pharmacy locates there, they (want to) have a
COMBINING FROM 1 Property owned by the districts individually would be combined into the ownership of the new fire authority, as well. That includes the $5 million North Bend Fire Station, Station 87, built in 2013. The station was a joint project of the city and the fire district, and voters in both the city and the district had to approve the bond to build it. Since North Bend is also a partner in Eastside Fire and Rescue, the transfer is primarily a legal distinction, not affecting the day-to-day operations of the station or the district’s firefighters. “They’re all employees of Eastside Fire and Rescue,” Mitchell said. Officially, they’re all employees of Fire District 10, which serves as the legal employer for contract bargaining purposes. Neither fire district board has yet voted on bringing the proposal to their voters. As the Regional Fire Authority, members of both districts are planning a series of public meetings to share information, and gather public feedback on the proposal. “We’re looking to have the public open meetings by the first part of February,” said Mitchell, and votes from both district boards by the end of that month in order to get the measure onto the April 26, 2016 special election ballot. The filing deadline for that election is Feb. 26. Mitchell said the fire authority is aiming for the April election, rather than a November election, so the issue doesn’t “get lost” among the other general election issues — including the race for U.S. President. Long-term, the fire districts say working together as one fire authority would sustain emergency service levels for the areas they serve and strengthen the Eastside Fire partnership. By joining together, their fixed costs such as equipment and administrative operations, would be shared by more people, which is more efficient for taxpayers. For the proposal to take effect, it will need approval by 60 percent of voters in each district. It will also require a minimum turnout of 40 percent of voters from the last general election.
“The city doesn’t want to be Anywhere, USA, and look like every other city in every other state. They want to maintain the characteristics. “ Mark Hofman, Snoqualmie Community Development Director drive-through window for that.” Talk of a grocery store in that area has been happening since 2007, Hofman said, but when Tom Erlandson of EDG development came to the city and showed interest in the project, it began to take shape. Snoqualmie has stayed away from accepting drive-through businesses in the city for years, but the agreement will allow those businesses on the specified lots. While drive-throughs offer more convenience to city residents, the decision has caused some controversy with some residents, who worry that bringing in drivethroughs will harm the city’s
small-town characteristics and could possibly hurt other local businesses. Hofman said the city and EDG Development are taking care to make sure the right businesses are chosen in order to maintain Snoqualmie’s smalltown feel. “The city doesn’t want to be Anywhere, USA, and look like every other city in every other state,” he said. “They want to maintain the characteristics of the city. That freeway collection of fast-food restaurants are not what the city is interested in. “It’s a balance. If you are trying to attract this kind of use and business then some give is needed. Identifying two beverages and food drive-throughs, a gas station and a pharmacy was that balance that they found.” Now Hofman and the city are looking forward to see how the project develops in the spring. “The hope is that this project is successful and good for the community. That it will address retail leakage the needs of the Snoqualmie community,” Hofman said. “Our intention is not to be a regional retail center.”
Police seek suspect in North Bend robbery At approximately 8:50 p.m. on December 18, Snoqualmie Police officers responded to an armed robbery at the Subway restaurant on South Fork Avenue in North Bend. A thin, Caucasian man, approximately 5’7” to 5’9” reportedly entered the restaurant with a black semi-automatic handgun and demanded cash. An employee handed over approximately $300. The suspect was wearing a black-hooded jacket, a black bandana, black gloves, black shoes, and jeans. The suspect fled on foot northbound and is believed to have had a car nearby. Bellevue Police K-9 responded along with King County deputies. Snoqualmie Police Captain Nick Almquist said the robbery is still under investigation. Almquist also said the surveillance video’s quality was too poor to accurately recognize the subject.
Snoqualmie explores continued ban on marijuana businesses The Snoqualmie Planning Commission held a meeting on Dec. 7 to hear public testimony on the possibility of the city allowing marijuana production, processing, or retail sales. Mark Hofman, community development director for the city of Snoqualmie, said the meeting room’s seats were filled with about 50 to 60 people and the public comments were mostly against marijuana coming to Snoqualmie. “The comments that they heard repeatedly were please prohibit marijuana production and retail in the city,” Hofman said. In an audio recording of the meeting, which is available on the city’s website, the commission discussed what other cities like Sammamish,
which has completely prohibited marijuana, have done to inform their decision along with public comments. Hofman said the commission will further explore this issue and possibly form a recommendation to the city council next year. The city currently has a moratorium on marijuana retail businesses until March 2016. “We are coming back on Jan. 4 to continue the discussion,” Hofman said. “In late January we will have a formal recommendation on which direction they want to go in. After that we will go to city council.” Two Valley cities, North Bend and Carnation, have adopted code allowing marijuana-related

Carnation recently received a request to reduce the state-set 1,000-foot buffer around schools, parks and other public areas, which the council plans to review in 2016. The state Liquor and Cannabis Board this week recently announced it would grant 222 new retail licenses, prioritizing medical marijuana facilities that applied for retail licenses prior to July 1, 2014, in order to ensure that medical users have access to marijuana. The methodology for awarding these licenses will be published in early January.
McCarty began working for the city in 2008; he previously worked for the city of Snoqualmie.

Dogs and drive-throughs
Valley Record D SNOQUALMIE
WWW.VALLEYRECORD.COM
Convenience lanes aren’t for everyone
rive-through services are once again a big issue in the Snoqualmie Valley, as the city of Snoqualmie prepares for a new retail development and full-service grocery store on Snoqualmie Ridge. Four drivethroughs are planned, maybe five and, as with CAROL LADWIG any change, there Editor are people who think that’s a great idea and others
who think it’s the worst idea to come out of City Hall since the last one. I’m in the middle. I don’t have mixed feelings about drive-throughs, I’m indifferent. I’ve used them, I’ve avoided them, and I’ve puzzled over why they bring out such strong feelings in both sides. There are two phrases that echo through every drive-through debate, and you can probably say them with me: On the pro side, “convenience” is the rallying cry — drive-throughs save time, which is arguably our most precious resource; on the con side, it’s “rural character” and its imminent demise from over-development. Convenience, though, isn’t good enough. Not having to park when I’m in a hurry is nice, but discovering I got the wrong order and having to go back to the store is definitely not an improvement to the day, since I was in a hurry in the first place. And rural character is vague. It’s one of those “we know it when we see it,”
concepts, that doesn’t fit into a blueprint or a profit-and-loss statement. Pedestrian- and bicycle-friendliness are elements in most city plans aiming to preserve rural character, but on a recent weekend in downtown Seattle, I saw more people walking and cycling in a block than I see in the Valley all week. What I didn’t see in Seattle, but I see every day here at home, were dogs in cars. Dogs bouncing from window to window in the back seat, dogs in laps and dogs in the driver’s seat waiting in parking lots. Dogs love drive-throughs, because they usually produce treats. The magical windows my dogs knew about dispensed food, whether we drove or walked through, so they trained me to use the drive-through. Drive-throughs aren’t perfect. I’ll probably never love them, but as long as there’s another way for me to get things done, I’m willing to let other people, and their dogs, have them.
What do you think about a drive-through in Snoqualmie?
I think it would be great to have some more convenient options here. Especially since there are a lot of young families here and we are always on the go. Rachel O’Neil Snoqualmie
I don’t want a drive-through up here. I don’t think this area is transient enough to really need one. I think it kind of spoils the small town character of Snoqualmie. Paul Sheehan Snoqualmie
I think it’s a great idea. Knowing it’s going to be over there on the corner of Douglas and Parkway that’s a pretty great location. Robert Svilpa Snoqualmie
Anything that’s progressive and could help possible reduction in flow compared to Starbucks where people are just sitting around. I’m all for it. Phil Hillhouse Snoqualmie
• Three brave souls out of nearly 200 people voiced their support for a wastewater facility in Carnation at a hearing on Monday night. Bryce Simons, Wes Larson and Don Shoemaker took some booing for their suggestions to work together on sewers for the city and using the comprehensive plan as the mechanism for controlling growth. But there was no mistaking the strong message from the other 31 speakers: We don’t need it, we can’t afford it, we don’t want it. Many Valley citizens spoke in favor of giving the people the right to vote on such an expensive facility with so many potential impacts. • The hawk was chosen over the “plaid amoeba” as the mascot for Chief Kanim Middle School. Actually, the plaid amoeba never made the final cut in the selection process. Due in large part to a recognition of the bird’s spiritual significance to the Snoqualmie Tribe, the hawk was chosen over the tiger, osprey, raven and wolverine as the official symbol of the new middle school now being built in Fall City.

READING FROM 1 Title I is a federal program designed to put services in place to help kids who struggle to learn. Formisano’s workshops, born from this program eight years ago, were for parents to learn about how to promote reading at home. This year she expanded the workshops to include both parents and children working together on various learning activities. “There wasn’t a lot of parent input into the program before and there wasn’t any parent outreach or training at all. That has been a huge change,” Formisano said. “Now, I have these workshops. I was doing it once a year and now I do it twice a year at each of the five elementaries. They are always well attended, parents are full of praise. We put up a big comment board at the last four and parents (wrote that they) finally felt that they had some tools in their toolbox to help at home.“ The workshops are set up with 17 stations for different reading exercises that engage both the child and the parent to build reading and other skills. These activities include a sightword reading path, invitingchildren to jump along a path of words. If they read the word correctly they move on, but if not, they go back to the beginning of the path. Another activity involves categorizing words into various word families such as words that end with -et, -un, and -ow. There is also a book walk activity that lets children pick out books to take home. Formisano said

Above: Tammy and Aaron Cartwright work together to learn about and properly sort word families during one of the activities. Below: Books designed to help early readers learn were available at the workshop. the books, published by Treasure Bay, are designed as a cooperative reading experience. On one side the parent reads more complex text that introduces new words; the other page has four or five words that the kids know they can read by sight. They are reading together, but the parents are introducing the vocabulary. “I’s been rewarding to see the kids progress in their skills. There are 17 stations that have to have prep for them,” she said. “Four or five kids can sit there with their parents and do the activities. So creating these and finding resources for them was the hardest part. But parents are here with their kids and learning together and doing the games at home and then emailing me and telling me

Visit parks, public lands free on 2016 ‘free days’
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission has announced 12 free days for visiting state parks in 2016. The U.S Bureau of Land Management has also announced fee-free days. The first free day at Washington State Parks is Jan. 1; visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass to visit state park on free days. The “free days” are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass. Passes cost $30 for an annual pass or $10 for a oneday permit. Passes are required for vehicle access to state recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources. The free days apply only at state parks; the Discover Pass is still required on WDFW and DNR lands. “We are happy to offer the free days to give folks a chance to check out some of the parks,” said State Parks Director Don Hoch. “We hope that the free days give people a taste of the parks that are out there to enjoy and that they will consider buying a pass to support the park system. We appreciate our pass holders and really depend on revenue from the Discover Pass program to keep operating parks.” The 2016 State Parks free days are: • Thursday, Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day and State Parks’ First Day Hikes Day • Sunday and Monday, Jan. 17 and 18 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day • Saturday, March 19 – Washington State Parks’ 103rd birthday • Saturday, March 26 • Friday, April 22 – Earth Day • Sunday, May 8 –Mothers Day • Saturday, June 4 – National Trails Day • Saturday, June 11 – National Get Outdoors Day • Thursday, Aug. 25 – National Park Service 100th birthday • Saturday, Sept. 24 – National Public Lands Day • Friday, Nov. 11 – Veterans Day More information about the Discover Pass is at www.discoverpass.wa.gov.

LET’S PLAY! Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots. He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging.
