City discusses police, firefighter levy on ballot

Chamber hosts Legislature candidates in Q&A Page 3

Snoqualmie citizens gathered in the gymnasium of Cascade View Elementary on Thursday, Sept. 22, for the first of two Snoqualmie Town Hall events discussing Proposition 1, a public safety levy that would increase the property tax to fund the hiring of two more police officers and one additional firefighter, which will be on the ballot this November.

Snoqualmie Mayor Matt

Larson explained that if Proposition 1 passed, property taxes in Snoqualmie would increase by 23 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.

One of the reasons the levy is being pursued because many of the city’s one-time revenue sources that came from years of growth and development in the Valley will no longer be available now that most of the development is nearly done.

‘Country cool’ Carnation eyes changes to code on chickens

Carnation is not a sleepy little town any more. The city of about 1,800 people is starting to grow, with 65 homes permitted, or almost through the permitting process, for construction in four subdivisions, plus infill development. That growth, while welcome for its potential revenue to the city, may be a threat to Carnation’s “country cool” culture, according to about a dozen people — and two chickens — who spoke at last Tuesday’s Carnation City Council meeting.

“It doesn’t seem like a Carnation kind of thing to do,” resident Sarah Clark told the council as it began a discussion on two code changes that would prohibit residents from keeping roosters in residential zones, limit the number of chickens to four and prohibit other livestock, including ducks and goats, on lots less than half an acre in size.

The code changes were presented as a preliminary suggestion, City Manager Phil Messina said.

“This is what we’re presenting for discussion, it is not set in stone,” he said. “We’re not telling people they can’t have chickens,

we’re just trying to limit the impact on their neighbors.”

What triggered the proposed change, Messina told the council, was a problem between two neighbors. One of them worked nights and had complained to the city that she was unable to sleep during the day because of her neighbor’s rooster, which crowed around the clock.

Messina said he talked to the other neighbor, who agreed to get rid of the rooster.

However, the dispute highlighted a couple of issues with the city’s existing code.

“We didn’t have anything in our code that said ‘No, you can’t have roosters,’” Messina said, and the two sections of code dealing with animals in the city were both more than 20 years old. One section referred to zoning that no longer existed in the city, too.

TOWN HALL FROM11 “We have been one of the fastest growing cities in the state of Washington and have had that continuous title for about a decade,” Larson said.

“We are no longer that, we are slowing down as we approach the slow build-out of Snoqualmie Ridge, which is going to produce its own problems in the next year.

“We are going to start seeing a lot of one-time revenue from all the growth and activity quickly taper off and we have to make sure to close any gaps there.”

Proposition 1 is a way for the city to hire more public safety staff to meet the demands of the growing population.

Police needs Interim Police Chief Jim Schaffer compared police staffing from 2001 to 2016 and explained what two additional officers would be able to do.

“In 2001 we had 14 commissioned police officers with a population of 2,574. In 2016 we had 14 commissioned police with a population of 13,000,” he said, adding that the limited number of officers made it difficult for the department to achieve the level of service they are striving for.

The two new officers that could be hired would be able to take on detective roles to focus their time on cases, which would leave other officers the ability to be more active in the community and reduce response times, he said.

“Two additional police officers will allows us to maintain the ‘no call too

Interim Chief of Police for Snoqualmie, Jim Schaffer, chats with a citizen at last Thursday’s town hall meeting on Snoqualmie’s Proposition 1, a levy to increase public safety funding. Another town hall meeting on the levy will be 7 p.m. this Thursday, Sept. 29, at Snoqualmie City Hall. small’ policing model and having dedicated detectives to investigate crimes will allow our officers to be proactive in the community,” Schaffer said.

“We want to maintain our standard of three to five minute response times. When officers are investigating, on calls, they are off the road, in the office, on the phone.

The detective doesn’t cover the streets, doesn’t have to answer calls, they can be focused on particular cases.”

Funding for firefighters Snoqualmie Fire Chief Mark Correira also spoke about his department’s request for an additional firefighter. He said the department had originally attempted to add two firefighter positions in 2012 with the addition of a transport fee on emergency medical services, but it wasn’t enough to cover the cost of two new employees.

“With the EMS transport piece in 2012,

the city decided to move ahead with a transport fee program, when we transport somebody to the hospital we will bill their insurance company,” Correira said. “The goal of that program was to try to hire two additional firefighters but unfortunately it was only enough to fund one. That’s why as a last resort, we are coming back to the community to ask to fund that additional firefighter.”

A new firefighter would help to alleviate the under-staffing issues the department has had, Correira said. Right now there are times during a week when only two firefighters are on duty. A new employee would allow them to keep three firefighters on duty at all times.

“Our goal for the fire department is to have a minimum of three firefighters on duty, 24 hours a day. Currently 28 percent of the time we only have about two firefighters on duty and that doesn’t set the stage for a good outcome. That’s why it’s so important for us to have the appropriate number of firefighters,” he said.

“Ensuring unit reliability assures that people will be available, we will have the appropriate people on it, responding to the incident and ultimately it will improve the service,” Correira added.

The city of Snoqualmie has scheduled another town hall event on Proposition 1 for 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, at Snoqualmie City Hall.

The November General Election is Tuesday, Nov. 8. King County elections are all mail-based. Ballots will be mailed to voters in King County starting Oct. 19.

State race candidates talk about education funding, transportation needs

By EVAN PAPPAS Staff Reporter

The Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce held the first of two candidate forums for the upcoming general election on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at the Snoqualmie TPC Golf Course.

Invited to speak were Legislative District 5 State Senator Mark Mullet (D) and his opponent Chad Magendanz (R), and the candidates running for Legislative District 5 State Representative Position 2, Darcy Burner (D) and Paul Graves (R).

Carolyn Simpson, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, moderated the forum and asked the four candidates a series of 14 questions about the issues important to the 5th District; the two main topics were education funding and transportation infrastructure and services.

Education funding in the face of the McCleary decision, was a focal point for questions to the candidates. McCleary was a 2012 Supreme Court ruling that the state did not live up to its constitutional requirement to fund K-12 education. The court gave the Legislature until 2018 to show significant progress to fully funding education in the state.

Simpson asked the candidates: What does to ‘fully fund education’ mean to you? What is your plan to comply with the Supreme Court decision and how would it affect taxpayers in Snoqualmie Valley?

Magendanz: “My vision for a fully funded education program is one that has both parties involved. It’s not one party jamming through its agenda... The bipartisan group we have working at the core, the education funding task force, which I served on this morning, we are in the thick of this and we have built relationships together, we have found the common ground here. We know how to eliminate our dependency on local levies, and we are getting the final numbers so we can establish how we are going to provide the revenue. We can do this if we work in a bipartisan fashion.”

Mullet: “Your local levy let’s say is $2.50 per $1,000.

Chad’s idea is you lower that to $1.50, and raise the state rate by $1, so then the state is paying more and the locals are paying less. The beauty of local levies is that money has to stay in your school. The second you make that local levy a state levy it will get redistributed to the other side of the mountains, I can 100 percent guarantee it. Right now unlike traffic, which sucks, the schools are amazing.

“Our number-one priority going into this session is we are not going to let the people in the other parts of the state solve their school problems by stealing our local levy dollars… You can make local levies permanent. You can have simple majority for school construction bonds. Those two things get a long ways towards solving the problem.”

Burner: “The base per student rate that Snoqualmie Valley School District got from the state is roughly $2,000 per student per year less than the other neighboring districts. It leads to real problems with having adequate funding... I agree we need a bipartisan group to sit down and actually solve the problem. We need to fully fund our schools. We should start by looking at tax loopholes, how much the revenue will increase because the economy is recovering. I agree with Mark that the idea of taking local levy dollars that we have voted on, having the state take them and redistribute them does not solve the problem.”

(Per Assistant Superintendent Ryan Stokes, the Snoqualmie Valley School District’s total state revenue in 2014-15 was about $1,300 than neighboring districts.)

Graves: “In the decade up to 2012, when new dollars came into the state’s budget above and beyond the year before, the state took about a third of them and dedicated it to K-12 education and put about two thirds to everything else. I’ve been proud of the senate Republicans in the past four year. In those four years, they have flipped that ratio.

When new dollars come in, two thirds go to K-12 education and a third goes to everything else. Just by flipping that ratio, we’ve been able to add $4.8 billion to K-12 education in a $33 billion a year budget. That’s the highest increase in state history.”

“By continuing the ratio we can go a long way toward fully funding our schools.”

The other major topic of the night was transportation, specifically the Snoqualmie Parkway interchange with I-90 and the transportation package passed to increase gas taxes by 11.7 cents. Simpson asked how Mullet and Magendanz voted on the 2015 package (yes and no) and asked Burner and Graves how they would have voted (yes

The Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce held candidate forum on Wednesday, Sept. 21. From top to bottom: The panel of candidates listen to moderator Carolyn Simpson as she asks them a question about the Snoqualmie highway interchange. Paul Graves answers a question on education. Chad Magendanz spoke with some of the attendees before the forum began.

“What is your plan to comply with the Supreme Court decision and how would that impact the taxpayers in Snoqualmie Valley?.”

Carolyn Simpson, Vice President of the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce and yes). Candidates were also asked how they would address Snoqualmie’s interchange issue.

Graves: “I would have supported the transportation package. No transportation package is ever going to be perfect, but for a growing region like ours we need to make sure we have investments especially in things like the interchange, widen the Maple Valley Highway to four lanes the entire way.”

“What we also need is a strong voice for East King County commuters. I live in Fall City and work in downtown Seattle, I take a bus every day. I’m not opposed to transit, but I do think we here in East King County have been shortchanged. We don’t have a strong enough voice for those who live here and drive cars and will continue to drive cars. We are going to have a transportation revolution over the next 30 years. Everything is going to be on demand and it’s going to be flexible and individualized and I think we owe it to ourselves and the next generation, as well, to plan for that revolution to come.”

Burner: “I would have voted for the transportation package. It’s incredibly important that we make the shared investments in the infrastructure that makes it possible for this region to function. The 18 and 90 interchange, we need to push to have fixes to that sooner rather than later.”

“We don’t have enough public transit options in East King County. Giving people more options in terms of how they can get around and how they get to and from work and other places they need to go is important,” Burner added, in reference to Sound Transit 3, the proposal to bring light rail to the Puget Sound area and as far east as Issaquah.

Mullet: “We have monthly meetings with WSDOT about what can we do in the 2017 session to provide immediate relief. The first one is you harden the shoulder on 18 for the first mile so that people coming off I-90 they can get off.

We talked about putting an extra lane on the exit as you are coming from North Bend so you can get off without having to wait behind all those people trying to get on 18 going the other way. ”I think the Sound Transit (proposal) is an interesting one. Everyone in Snoqualmie kind of gets a free ride. You are outside the Sound Transit taxing district, as is Maple Valley, as is two-thirds of our district and if you want better transit in Snoqualmie, I will give you the vision of how you get it. You have light rail in Issaquah and you have a bus on a perpetual circle every 15 minutes between Snoqualmie and that light rail station. You will never in a million years get that perpetual circle all the way to Seattle. You can get it if Issaquah has light rail and you know who’s going to pay for it? People who live in Ballard. When people say they

don’t want ST3 they really aren’t battling for the residents of Snoqualmie.”

Magendanz: “This had an emergency clause in it so it could not be overwritten by the voters. $16.1 billion is the biggest tax increase in state history. I think the voters should get a chance to weigh in on this. I think that’s a responsibility of legislators and most of our caucus supported that measure to strike the emergency clause. There was a provision for Sound Transit to get half of the 50-cent levy authority allocated for junior tax districts. All of our parks, flood control districts, fire, EMS, libraries, metro, all these things come out of that 50 cents and that money is spoken for and they get half of it as the highest priority, so if they get this Sound Transit property tax, it’s going to displace half the folks who are paying into the current levy system and that’s just wrong.”

The next candidate forum is at 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 28, at the Snoqualmie TPC Golf Course. Candidates Jay Rodne (R) and Jason Ritchie (D) running for the 5th District Representative Position 1 will participate in the forum along with candidate Bill Bryant, who is running for Governor.

PAST

This week in Snoqualmie Valley history Thursday, Sept, 26, 1991

Don’t forget about local issues this November

A

s we get closer to election day, media coverage of national politics is getting more intense. As November approaches, the circus of national politics continues on in full force.

In listening to people talk about the year in politics, I often hear frustration, confusion and apathy. Regardless of their political views, many of the people I know are discouraged by the 2016 election. I felt some of that too, until I EVAN PAPPAS went to last week’s Staff Reporter candidate forum in Snoqualmie.

The Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce held a candidate forum last Wednesday to give the

candidates for the 5th District senate and house positions a chance to meet with the people of the Valley and share their thoughts on many of the issues of importance coming up in 2017.

The forum reminded me that, despite not being as well publicized as the presidential election, state and local politics are incredibly important and far too many people don’t pay attention to them. Even under one or two minute time restrictions for each question, the candidates spoke intelligently and passionately about the issues at hand.

As I walked back to my car after the forum, I felt a renewed interest in the election and was happy to be reminded that even in the face of the sometimes cartoonish portrayal of politics in the media, there are real people who care about the issues in our district and are trying to help make a difference.

This November, more than just a presidential election will be on the ballot. Research the local candidates, learn about their stances on the issues facing King County and the state of Washington and make an informed decision.

There will also be important propositions on the ballot, the city of Snoqualmie has a public safety levy on the ballot that would fund new police officers and a new firefighter.

The city of Duvall has a levy lid lift to fund improvements to Big Rock Ballfields, employ a full-time school resource officer and make IT system improvements.

Voting is one of the most important aspects of citizenship we have. I became an American citizen in 2014 and this will be the first national election I vote in. I hope that people will take the time to research, question what they believe, develop their own opinions and vote.

How would you feel about chickens in your neighborhood?

I love chickens. If you are living close, it would be hard. But I like the sounds.

I know that the chickens bring wild animals.

I wouldn’t mind that. I like chickens.

• North Bend Mayor Fritz Ribary and City Councilor Chris Lodahl will square off in the general election for mayor in November. A third mayoral candidate, Hugh Bossier, was eliminated in last week’s primary. Leading the primary race was Lodahl, whose 184 votes represent nearly half of all cast. Ribary came in second with 140 votes, or 36 percent. Trailing was Bossier, whose 60 votes totaled just 16 percent of the ballots.

Thirty-eight percent of North Bend’s registered voters went to the polls.

• Nine Washington Supreme Court justices considered an appeal by the Friends of the Snoqualmie Valley last week in Olympia. The organization maintains that the Boundary Review Board was in error when it recommended annexation of 1,344 acres for the planned Snoqualmie Ridge development, and its appeal has reached the state’s highest court.

Thursday, Sept, 22, 1966 • A preliminary budget of $216,309 was presented at the meeting of the North Bend Town Council Sept. 14.

At the next meeting, the final budget will be adopted and the Council will establish tax levies. North Bend’s assessed valuation rose from $1,373,156 last year to $1,516,266, an increase of $143,110. The increase in assessed valuation last year over 1964 was $79,541.

• A stray bullet which entered the Paul Hargraves home on the Mount Si Road about 10 p.m. on Monday night missed the head of his son, Sandy, 16, by about four feet.

North Bend’s largest park, Torguson Park on North Bend Way, will be getting an update almost two years in the planning.

North Bend City Council members voted Sept. 20 to approve the $1.6 million project to add restrooms and a concessions building, relocate two of the fields and add turf, build a trail looping through the park, and improving drainage on the fields.

The decision, postponed from a special meeting of the council on Sept. 13, was unanimous, although most council members were concerned about the cost.

Before the evening’s council meeting, they gathered for a work study on the project, at which Public Works Director Mark Rigos gave a history of the project and how it grew from the initial proposal, a restroom building and a loop trail, with $188,000 in funding committed in 2014, to today’s $1.6 million project, awarded to Rodarte Construction of Auburn.

Several factors contributed to the price increases, Rigos said, starting with the initial plan to centrally locate a restroom and concessions building among the baseball fields.

“It doesn’t fit,” Rigos told the council. The planned building, if centered on the fields, didn’t leave enough space between the fields for walking comfortably or safely between fields and building.

Four new backstops and eight new dugouts are in the plans approved last week.

This diagram illustrates the major features of the $1.6 million Torguson Park project scheduled to start in the next few weeks.

Another cost-driver, Rigos said, was the city’s requirement for all developments to have no net loss in a site’s water storage capacity, such as stormwater.

“It’s called compensatory storage,” Rigos said. “Any time we fill an area, which we are doing — we’re raising up that baseball quad so it can properly drain — we have to excavate. If we don’t excavate, the city would be artificially raising the 100year floodplain.”

Concrete prices have increased about 30 percent since the city began planning the project in 2014, Rigos noted, which has also increased the final price estimate. To help limit the final cost of the project, council members suggested that some of the paved areas be reduced. They also proposed eliminating project

Back for more North Bend Blues Walk returns for fourth year Saturday was a night of full houses in North Bend, and live music was on the menu everywhere downtown. The festival’s 21 venues filled up quickly and emptied out in trickles as Blues Walkers made their way around the city to see as many local, national and international performers as they could.

It was also a record night for the fourth annual North Bend Blues Walk, said Gregory Malcolm, executive director of sponsor Jazz Clubs NW. About 1,600 tickets to the event were distributed, he said, “which is a record for the Blues Walk.”

Jazz Clubs NW also sponsors the North Bend Jazz Walk in the spring, and while that event’s ticket sales have neared 2,000, Malcolm said both events continue to grow.

“They tend to draw different crowds,” he said, “and it’s really been neat that we have two distinct constituencies that are really enjoying these world-class events.”

Wildcats win on Friday, travel to Skyline this week

Wildcats look ahead to Bothell rematch in volleyball Tonight, Mount Si High School’s volleyball teams will get a rematch with Bothell, the team that defeated the varsity girls in a home series that took five games to complete, Sept. 20.

Bothell lost the first and third games in the series but won the night with scores of 18-25, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23 and 15-13.

Team leaders Katie McCreadie and Sophie Click both achieved double-digit kills during the match, 17 and 12, respectively.

Player stats include: Cameron Kendall, 4 assists, 3 aces, 25 digs; Courtney Carr, 4 kills, 36 assists, 2 aces, 10 digs; Karlie Stewart, 4 kills, 1 assist, 3 aces, 9 digs, 1.5 blocks; Dana Kenow, 1 ace, 5 digs; Harper Click, 4 kills, 4 aces, 9 digs, 2 blocks; Sophie Click, 12 kills, 1 assist, 10 digs; Lillian Bachand, 6 digs; Emma Anderson, 2 kills, 2 digs; Katie McCreadie, 17 kills, 1 assist, 6 digs, 1 block; Hayley West, 4 kills, 2 digs, 2.5 blocks; and Katie Larson, 1 assist, 2 digs.

In the junior varsity match, Mount Si’s girls claimed the win in three matches, 25-22, 18-25 and 15-13.

The team also hosted Eastlake on Monday, Sept. 26, in another five-game match. Mount Si’s varsity squad won 3-2.

The next home game is Wednesday, Oct. 5, against Issaquah.

Four games into the season, the Mount Si football team is about to face some of its toughest opponents.

“We’ve got three critical weeks in front of us,” said Mount Si head coach Charlie Kinnune Monday.

“This week is the best in the state. Skyline Eastlake and Woodinville, they all have state implications.”

This week, the Wildcats travel to Skyline for their first away game since the season opener.

The team’s high-scoring win over Issaquah last Friday, though, is still worth celebrating. Highlights of the 27-6 victory included Eric Daniels making the first touchdown. He scored in the first quarter on a seven-yard pass from quarterback Zeke Barden, who went on to throw a 59-yard touchdown to Jesiah Irish in the same quarter. Irish scored again on a spectacular 74-yard run in the second quarter, and Jack Weidenbach sealed the win with a two-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

The Wildcats rushed for a total of 234 yards, led by Max Bonda with 108, and passed for 169 yards.

Kinnune was pleased with the team’s running

Jack Weidenbach ran the ball for a total of 33 yards in Mount Si’s game Friday night against Issaquah. game Friday, saying “We have to be able to run the ball to take the pressure off our inexperienced passing game.”

He was also happy to see the penalty count tick down, he said, and happy with the

win overall, but “I think we left about four touchdowns on the field.”

The Wildcats’ record stands at 2-2 this week.

Their next home game is Friday, Oct. 7, against Eastlake.

Bellevue Invite Saturday gives most CHS runners new 5K personal records On Saturday, Sept. 24, the Cedarcrest Cross Country squad competed at the Bellevue Invite at Lake Sammamish State Park.

Coming into the meet, Cedarcrest runners were hoping to continue their strong performance, said Cedarcrest coach Bruce McDowell. They weren’t disappointed.

The meet had many top schools making an appearance; rules called for varsity runners to be paired off, by rank, in flights. With more than 40 teams at this meet, Cedarcrest was hoping for top 10 performances by the different squads. The runners more than exceeded that. The boys finished eighth in the open race. The JV girls finished ninth. The varsity runners both finished fifth.

The only teams that beat Cedarcrest were 4A schools, McDowell said.

The boys had three top10 finishes: Ben Benson

was sixth in his flight; Ryan LaTurner was 10th in his; and Austin Ward was 10th in the JV race.

The girls had five top10 finishes: Alicia Krivanek was 10th in her flight; Mary Cate Babock was ninth in hers; Kate Vergillo was 10th in hers; Kelly Hall won the JV race and Alison Swift finished fourth in the open.

Hall put on a great surge in the last mile to catch the leader, McDowell said of the JV race.

Athletes of the meet were Austin Ward, Gideon Bender, Kaden Overman, Kelly Hall, Alison Swift and Sama Shams. Gideon ran so well, he will move into a faster workout group, McDowell said. Kaden broke 20 minutes for the first time in a 5K. Sama, an Egyptian foreign exchange student, ran her first race.

McDowell also said that 75 percent of the returning runners broke personal records for 5K runs.

Former teacher starts non-profit to build and donate guitars

By EVAN PAPPAS Staff Reporter

After 31 years of teaching, Snoqualmie resident Mike McCoy has found a new passion, building guitars. McCoy started a nonprofit, Tokul Creek Guitars, to build and give away guitars to children and teenagers unable to afford them.

McCoy taught first grade in the Lake Washington School District for 31 years and in 2004 joined the folk group The Brothers Four.

He was able to balance his work as a teacher and touring with the band, but was forced to make a choice between the two in 2008.

“We go to Japan every couple years and do shows around the nation. I’d take unpaid leaves of absence,” McCoy said. “The principal and superintendent were OK with it, well then the superintendent changed and the new superintendent changed policy and told me I could no longer take these leaves of absence and sing.

At that time I had taught 31 years, so I sang. It worked out fine.”

After retiring from teaching, McCoy tried to stay busy by building a deck, storage shed, and his workshop. That work, along with playing in The Brothers Four, led him to start thinking about building guitars and giving them to children or teenagers who may have the talent, but not the money to buy one.

“Music has been a part of my life. There are a lot of kids who enjoy playing music who aren’t able to because they can’t afford to buy a guitar, no matter the

McCoy shows off his second in-progress guitar and explains the process of building the instrument. price,” he said. “So I thought maybe I’ll do that, maybe I’ll make guitars and give them away.”

With the idea in mind, he drew up a 20-year plan to build guitars and asked his friend, a luthier (a person who builds and repairs string instruments), to help him learn.

Initially McCoy borrowed equipment to start building and learned from online video courses. Over time he gradually purchased some of the equipment he needed for his own workshop, which sped up the process.

McCoy was unsure of the quality of his first guitar

until he played it for himself once finished.

“Surprisingly it sounded better than I thought it was going to,” he said. “I really expected the first one to be kind of a clunker. I didn’t want to give something to somebody that wasn’t playable, but it really wasn’t too bad. I made a few adjustments to it and put on a different set of strings.”

He then let Sherri Youngward, a Christian worship artist, play the guitar which boosted McCoy’s confidence in his work.

“She asked to look at the guitar and started playing it and she said ‘this sounds

good’,” he said. “She played it for 10 or 15 minutes and made it sound very good.”

In discussion about his new project at church, McCoy discovered the first recipient of his hand crafted guitars.

“I had spoken to a fellow at church who was a pastor down in Belize. I told him what I was doing, he said he had a guy down there, 18 years old, who would love a guitar. He doesn’t have one and it would be perfect,” he said. “Time passed and I’m sure they thought I forgot, but I finished it and sent it down to them.”

He said that he would be

willing to send his guitars anywhere as long as there was someone there who would benefit from them.

“I would send them anywhere in the world,” McCoy said. “It’s a tad more cost effective to send them local-

ly than sending to Belize, but that’s not an issue. If someone sends me a name and says ‘this young man or young lady could really use something like this’ then that’s it.”

Part of McCoy’s goal for the project is to have all the resources he needs to build guitars for people unable to afford one, but he is in need of equipment and people to send guitars to.

“I’m still in the process of buying the stuff I need,” he said. “The goal is to be a completely enclosed shop where I don’t have to go to my friend’s house to use some of his things.”

With the help of some family, McCoy has set up www.tokulcreekguitars.com, a website on which people can submit names of those they think would benefit from a guitar or donate to help him acquire the equipment and materials he needs.

“It’s going to be a lot more manageable once I get everything I need to make everything here. I just need people to send them to, I need names. I can maybe build six to eight a year, that’s my plan,” he said.

“This was my 20-year plan.

Do this for 20 years until my fingers quit working.”

CHICKENS FROM 1 “We may be in a rural area, but we are a city,” he added.

Messina said he and other city staff members researched other cities’ animal codes before making the recommendations. He also noted that most of the lots in Carnation are small.

“We really only have a couple of large parcels in town where people could have a horse,” he said.

Many of the speakers compared Carnation’s proposed code changes with area cities. Duvall, Bellevue and Seattle each allowed more animals than the proposed four-hen limit being considered in Carnation, but all of them prohibit residents from keeping roosters on residential properties.

North Bend and Snoqualmie have adopted King County’s code regarding animals, which is not specific about numbers of animals allowed, apart from a restriction that they must be permitted and have enclosed living quarters, with limitations based on space.

“We are ‘country cool,’” said business owner Kathleen Allen. “Please don’t make us look like the most restrictive place on the map in terms of growing your own food.”

A medical professional, Allen cited many of the benefits of growing your own food. So did Juliane Luna, who said “Chickens are really a cheap and effective way for people to have access to local, organic food and I think taking that away from people is going to be taking away something that’s first of all part of our culture and second something that’s accessible to anyone, no matter their class.”

Luna sat through most of the meeting with her two chickens on her lap, although she loaned one to Dan Hearing when he spoke to the council. The birds clucked occasionally, adding some inadvertent comedy to the meeting.

“Why limit this little guy from being in my back yard?” Hearing asked the council.

During the council discussion on the proposed change, Councilman Fred Bereswill said of the animal limitation, “We’re not trying to make it smaller, we’re trying to make it current.”

Council members then discussed the issues related to keeping chickens, including noise, odor and the potential to attract rats and other vermin. They agreed that those issues would need to be addressed, too.

Regarding the city’s noise ordinance, which several residents said should be the

“Chickens are really a cheap and effective way for people to have access to local, organic food.”

Juliane Luna, Carnation resident and chicken owner deciding code on animal complaints, rather than the proposed changes, Messina said it does work, but “It’s difficult. We need at least two complaints from neighbors before we can use the ordinance.”

Councilman Dustin Green also questioned the prohibition on ducks in the proposed code change.

Councilwoman Lee Grumman echoed some of the citizens’ comments, saying “I like the idea of not restricting our residents’ ability to grow their own food… maybe it will contribute to our culture.”

No formal vote was taken on the issue, and the council agreed to send the issue to the council’s economic development committee for review and recommendation in the next few months.

The council will meet next at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 4, at Carnation City Hall.

North Bend QFC now offering online ordering

Shoppers in North Bend now have a new way to pick up their groceries. On Monday, Sept. 19, North Bend’s QFC began operating its online ordering and pickup service.

Zach Stratton, spokesperson for QFC, said the company is using a program called ClickList to take online orders. QFC’s parent company Kroger, started implementing this program in stores and North Bend was selected as the first location for the online ordering program.

“A number of factors go into the locations,” Stratton said. “North Bend worked out best in terms of parking lot space, the staff and how well the store is run. You need to have room in the parking lot to have dedicated ClickList spots and a holding area within the store.”

The North Bend QFC currently prepares orders to be picked up the next day at a specific time selected on the order. The morning after an order is placed, QFC staffers pick out all of the items in the list and store the order in an area dedicated to online orders until they are picked up.

“You place your order then pick your hour time slot you plan to be there the next day,” Stratton said. “There are clearly marked spots for ClickList, an associate meets you and asks your name and information and they bring it out to you. You swipe your card and you’re on your way.”

The program was tested at Kroger stores in Cincinnati with great reception from shoppers. Stratton also said that the program has also created 14 new jobs at the store for people hired specifically to support the online ordering program. The initial investment at the store was about $280,000.

“It’s employees and extra space, the equipment they need, all of that kind of brand new tech and brand new spaces. All rolled up into that number,” Stratton said.

“Our customers have loved it so far. Great for families of children, or families of elderly or disabled. It will be even better in the winter.”

The program is available now and orders can be placed at www.qfc.com/onlineshopping.

Issaquah becomes the center of state conversation on wolves

BY NICOLE JENNINGS Issaquah Reporter Staff Writer

The population of wolves in the wild in Washington state is less than the number of cents in a dollar.

Ninety wolves roam in 18 wolf packs, mainly centered in the eastern part of the state, according to a survey by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife in 2015.

And at a meeting between the Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and newly formed Wolf Advisory Group (WAG) in Issaquah Sept. 14 and 15, the discussion of how to keep Washington’s endangered wolf population growing in a way that’s manageable for ranchers and farmers inspired collaboration and conversation.

The conference-like meeting was attended by parties from both sides of the issue, including animal conservationists, ranchers, hunters, scientists, wildlife photographers and Native American tribe members.

Attendees traveled from as far as California and Alaska to be part of the discussion. The aim was to hear all viewpoints and try to find solutions that satisfied everyone.

WAG member Lisa Stone said that the meeting was full of “very diverse people from different interests trying to work toward a common goal.”

“Wolves and cattle are here to stay — let’s make that viable and sustainable … we need to work together,” concerned citizen Larry Larson said.

Stone and fellow WAG member Molly Linville led a work session centered on outreach and education about wolves. They brainstormed the kinds of information that needs to be spread about wolves, such as basic wolf ecology, habitat maps, depredation reports, how to recognize wolves (especially in relation to coyotes) and wolf recovery, and came up with ideas of different groups of people who especially need to be targeted with information.

“People should educate themselves about wolves …because wolves are going to continue to come into Washington,” Stone said.

Stone noted that in a society where children grow up identifying wolves as the terrifying villains of fairy tales, people may have negative preconceived notions about wolves. Even the wolf emoji on Facebook is portrayed to look menacing with red eyes.

The key to solving the conflicts between wolves and people is outreach and education, Stone said. A self-identified hunter, she is especially committed to spreading knowledge to other hunters, hikers and campers so that they will know what to do if they encounter a wolf in the wild.

“If we can get the best information out there …everyone wins,” she said.

WDFW chief scientist John Pierce stated that “social tolerance and acceptance” are the most important factors in bringing the wolf population back to healthy numbers.

Pierce agreed that the real issue is society’s view of wolves.

“In the end, wolf recovery is not impacted by the removals as much as the population is dependent on social tolerance,” he said, noting that “people have a bias” toward wolves even though cases of humans being attacked by wolves are extremely rare.

“Wolf recovery is the goal,” he said.

“Everything has to support wolf recovery — getting everybody working together, understanding each other’s issues.”

Pierce gave a presentation on the second day of the conference that showed the Wolf Conservation Management Plan, a study done by WDFW in 2011 that analyzed the ability of wolf populations to grow in the state under different scenarios. The study divided the state into three regions — Eastern Washington, the Northern Cascades and the Southern Cascades — and identified that for wolves to be on track to leave the state’s endangered species list, there need to be 15 breeding pairs statewide, with at least four in each region.

According to findings, if wolf recovery reaches its goal in one region, then the implementation of lethal management strategies in that region “would not impair

This means that because there are seven breeding pairs in the Eastern Washington region, it is all right for the state to “address management needs” in that area.

Pierce explained that the reason for this is that wolves have “high dispersal capabilities,” meaning that they can potentially travel from one region to another, and also that they have “high fecundity rates,” as they are able to reproduce their entire adult lives.

Last month, WDFW made national news for choosing to eliminate all 11 members of the Profanity Peak wolf pack in Eastern Washington after the wolves were involved in several depredation incidents with cattle in 2014 and 2016.

Not surprisingly, the public comments time period drew passionate appeals from animal rights activists, especially tribal members. More than a few tears were shed by the time the meeting finished.

“It’s the dollar that people are finding sacred, not the cows,” said Jennifer Fuentes, a member of the Apache tribe. “When will it stop? The wolves are great medicine

holders … they hold us in their prayers … without them, we cannot survive.”

“For indigenous people, the desecration of wolves is the desecration of our religious way of life,” said former Alaskan Inter-Tribal Council Officer Nikos Pastos, who traveled from Anchorage to attend the meeting.

Pierce said things have improved in recent decades. When pioneers first moved west, setting up homesteads in wolf habitats, wolves were eliminated through shooting and poison.

However, Pierce said, with the elimination of wolf bounties in the 1960s and establishment of animal protection measures in the 1970s, combined with the wolves’ ability to travel long distances, wolf populations have slowly started to come back.

Pierce has a positive outlook for the future.

Still, meeting attendees pleaded with WDFW members to keep the wolves in mind when making policy.

“I’m just asking this commission … to help us save these last poor babies,” Blackfoot member James St. Goddard of Montana said. “Are we so heartless that we can’t do this?”
