Solar power finding its way to Snoqualmie homes

Staff Writer
Now, more than any other time, might be the best opportunity for Snoqualmie residents to install solar panels on their homes. The city of Snoqualmie is partnering with Northwest Wind and Solar and Northwest SEED (Sustainable Energy for Economic Development) to bring affordable installations of solar energy systems to the com-munity.
Multiple incentive programs are currently running, which add up to approximately a 50-percent discount after the first year.
Nicole Sanders, Associate Planner for the city of Snoqualmie, said that the limited availability of these incen-tives are getting people to look into solar more actively than ever before.

ing and the (Solarize WA) discount which is embedded in the pricing.”

Leadership change
Hospital board selects new president in unexpected vote
By CAROL LADWIGEditor
Members of the Snoqualmie Valley Hospital Board of Commissioners were divided on one of the first orders of business when the group met Sept. 3. The issue, approved in a 3-1 vote with one abstention, removed Joan Young from the role of commission president, and replaced her with Dariel Norris, who had been the commis-sion vice-president.

began organizing and spreading the word about the program. Snoqualmie contracted the non-profit organiza-tion Northwest SEED to help lead the campaign. Jill Eikenhorst, Project Coordinator at the nonprofit, said they have helped other communities with solar projects and their expe-rience has helped them work with Snoqualmie.
“We are technical advisors for the city, lead the workshop and outreach pro-grams,” Eikenhorst said. “We provide our expertise from our past campaigns, handle registration, and can answer questions people have about solar.”
Northwest SEED staff worked with volunteers to create a request for pro-posal with solar installers. The group of community members ended up choosing Northwest Wind and Solar as the installer for Snoqualmie.
The city is now organizing workshops for the public to learn about solar ener-gy, how the systems work, the financial realities, and to ask as many questions as they can. The first workshop was Aug. 18 and had a huge turnout, filling the room at Snoqualmie Library. Three more are planned for Sept. 15, Oct. 14, and Nov. 7.
“It was great, we maxed out the room capacity. We had 42 people plus eight presenters, there were 31 households and 24 of them have signed up for site visits, which is incredible. We already have 15 households coming to the next
workshop,” Sanders said. “I think it’s going to be a huge success here, which is really exciting.”
Kevin Charap, General Manager at Northwest Wind and Solar, said their site visits consist of checking out the house and setting parameters on what type of system the homeowners want.
Charap said the company also puts together a proposal for the homeown-ers to look over all the information before they decide if they want to install. The proposal includes a system rating, expected annual kilowatt production, value of electricity produced to show how much energy solar can produce for a low cost, estimate of available incen-tives, calculating return on investment, and lifetime system savings.
A lot of people assume that mainte-nance is a big commitment with solar panels but Charap said that a properly installed system could last from 30 to 40 years with minimal maintenance.
“You hose them off one time a year, no moving parts, and when installed correctly with lifetime components there is nothing that breaks or wears down,” he said.
One of the questions they address up front is the common thought that because of the Northwest’s reputation for cloudy skies and rain, this area wouldn’t be good for solar energy. This was addressed by using Germany as an example. Germany is the world leader in solar installations, yet it has 15 percent less sun than we do. If they can do it, so can we.
Snoqualmie isn’t the only city in the Valley that is eligible for solar energy. Some residents from North Bend and
other places around the county have also expressed interest.
“I’ve had a lot of people interested from North Bend and nearby county residents like Fall City or people on 384th,” Sanders said. “We specifically asked that the installer have the dis-count available to those areas as well because it’s such a local resource, we didn’t see a reason why they shouldn’t have that as well. We reached out to North Bend staff and their permitting process is really simplified and they seemed really open to it, so I think it would be roughly the same, plus the installer takes over the permitting for the applicant.”
Sanders said that regardless of doubts that some may have about if solar is right for them, people should come out to the workshops.
“I think no matter a person’s fiscal situation or environmental interests, I think that solar is a really great deal and in this scenario is open for a very limited time,” Sanders said. “So even if you have a hint of curiosity it’s worthwhile to come and hear what the program is about and see if it’s a right fit for you.”

Tribe rallies against development
On Wednesday, Sept. 2, representatives from the Snoqualmie Tribe held a rally in protest of the Tokul roundabout construction project in Snoqualmie. Supporters came out with protest signs and shirts supporting the Save Snoqualmie Falls initiative started by the Snoqualmie Tribe. The rally started with a song by Tribe members before representatives from the Tribal Council spoke.Carolyn Lubenau, Chairwoman of the Snoqualmie Tribe, and Lois Sweet Dorman, Tribe councilwoman, spoke about the land around the falls and the city’s planned development.“There was a projectile point that was unearthed at the Tokul round-about when they started excavating. We told them, we’ve been tell-ing them for decades what this place is. That projectile point, they call it an Olcott point, 4,000 to 9,000 years old.” Sweet Dorman said. “That is a sign from our ancient ones speaking out. They’re asking us ‘stand up, stand up, fight for this place.”Sweet Dorman expressed gratitude for all the support the group has received so far. Melynda Davis, a Snoqualmie Tribe alternate council-woman, was called to speak to the crowd after Sweet Dorman. She asked supporters to spread the word of their cause.“Reach out to your congresspeople, reach out to your elected offi-cials... and let your voice be heard,” Davis said. “Join us.”

Tokul bridge work to close Snoqualmie Valley Trail until spring
Tokul Creek Trestle rehab requires closure of historic Snoqualmie Valley Trail fea-ture.
Structural upgrades include replacing some sup-port beams, concrete deck panels
Major repairs are needed to the historic Tokul Creek Trestle, a stunning, centu-ry-old wooden structure that once carried railroad cars and now serves as part of King County Parks’ Snoqualmie Valley Trail.
Soaring 120 feet above the creek and spanning a 400-foot-wide chasm, the trestle needs safety improve-ments, including new struc-tural timbers and reinforce-ments, plus new concrete deck panels.
The work is expected to begin Sept. 15 and last into spring of 2016.
During this time, a three-mile-long stretch of the Snoqualmie Valley Trail will be closed to all access.
Because of the trestle’s remote location with no viable alternative routes, the trail will be from the trailhead at 356th Drive Southeast in Fall City to
about one-quarter mile north of Tokul Road Southeast in Snoqualmie.
Funding for the trail repairs is provided by the 2014-19 King County Parks, Trails and Open Space Replacement Levy through the Bridge and Trestle Program.
At more than 31 miles in length, the Snoqualmie Valley Trail is the longest trail in King County Parks’ 185-mile regional trail sys-tem.

PASTOUT of the
Snoqualmie’s new reverse-angle parking
may take getting used-to, but appears to be working
as well as predicted
Reverse is not my favor-ite direction of travel, unless I’m not the one driving, or we’re talking
about amusement park rides. On this point, I thought, I was in the majority — everyone has a minor-disaster-while-b a c k i n g - u p story from their days of learning to drive, right?
The dire predictions I heard for rush-hour accidents and gratuitous parking tickets when the city of Snoqualmie decided to require reverse-angle parking on Railroad Avenue helped to reinforce my opinion.
Now that they’ve been in use, though, I’ve heard exactly one “official” complaint, and don’t recall a single fender-bender on Railroad Avenue in the police blot-ter in the past couple of months.
I’ve been doing an extremely informal count of cars parked cor-rectly — back wheels toward the curb, front wheels facing traffic
— and those parked the more tra-ditional way, and found that on the average weekday, only about 20 percent of cars are parked incor-rectly. Why would that be? None of the incorrectly (and illegally) parked cars seemed to be getting towed or ticketed, so I don’t think it’s any real concern about legality.
“There’s a lot of benefits to it,” says Kamal Mahmoud, proj-ect manager with the city of Snoqualmie. There are benefits to the city, of course, including more parking spaces and a potential for slowing traffic down, but he’s not just talking about those.
He’s talking about the family of four with strollers and car seats, who come downtown for a day and don’t have to unload all that equip-ment from the back, just a few feet from the traffic going by.
The driver of that same car, at the end of the day, won’t have to negotiate backing into evening traffic with a load of tired and/or well-fed kids and adults.
And the people walking or cycling around downtown will probably appreciate that, too.
“It does provide motorists with better vision of bicyclists, pedestri-ans, and moving cars as they leave the space,” Mahmoud said.
With an office just a block off Railroad, I haven’t tried (or need-ed) to park in the reverse-angle spots myself, but it seems like it would be a lot like head-in angle parking. The little information I
found on reverse-angle parking, often compares it to parallel park-ing, emphasizing that you have to use your mirrors:
• Drive past the space you want to park in and line up your back wheels with the edge of the space;
• Signal that you are turning; • Back up to the right, using
your mirrors to align your car in the space.
What you absolutely shouldn’t do, according to the signs that are posted, most of the parking guides I found and the Snoqualmie Police, is park head-in at those spaces on Railroad, since you have to cut across oncoming traffic to do it.
Instead, you should circle the block, turning the car to face the right direction for reverse-angle parking — like trying to find a free parking space in Seattle, which is one of many cities that have imple-mented reverse-angle parking for safety reasons, Mahmoud pointed out.
Mahmoud acknowledged that the reverse-angle parking is a change that will take some get-ting used to, too, and encouraged people with questions to contact the city office.
“It’s a matter of education,” he says. “We really hope everyone is able to see the benefits of reverse angle parking and start doing that.”
That’s another thing the existing, but limited, info on reverse-angle parking recommends — practice.

Be sensible about watering
As we celebrate the com-pletion of multi-million dollar renovations in down-town Snoqualmie, let us be mindful of our fellow Washingtonians suffering from unprecedented blazes due to drought.
At a time when water conservation is so neces-sary, we must not waste this precious resource.
While I applaud the instal-lation of beautiful baskets of petunias along downtown lampposts, the automatic drip irrigation system is pouring thousands of gallons of water onto the street.
I placed a bucket under one of the baskets to mea-sure the overflow. Each bas-ket gets about two gallons per watering, several times a day, and there are dozens of them.
Thriving green moss on a hot, dry sidewalk should tell you to cut back.
Let’s be sensible. Can’t downtown beautification coexist with environmental responsibility?
Robert Gilliam, Snoqualmie
Development plans are abuse to Falls
The Pacific Northwest is arguably one of the most beautiful places to live. With sprawling mountains, and evergreen-capped hills, many looking for solace in nature settle here. I was lucky enough to grow up on this landscape.
Being raised in the woods taught me many valuable lessons. I learned respect from the rivers we fished in fall and floated in sum-mer. The rain and wind taught me to be prepared for anything, as did flood
and drought. The beauty and awesomeness of nature instilled a lasting love and respect for the lands that taught me how to survive.
Snoqualmie Falls has been, and always will be, for everyone.
I was recently informed of plans to bulldoze land surrounding the falls to allow for 200 new homes. Not only is it irresponsible, but it is wildly disrespectful to the people whose land they are marring.
It is one thing to allow a community to grow, it is another to abuse the means extended to the city via insertion of a suburb on burial grounds. It breaks my heart to see such sense-less actions to capitalize on a land that is sacred to the indigenous people of our community.
Is the rest of this land not enough, that this sacred place must be ripped from their hands, too?
Carly BenedictDuvall
Clearing up some confusion
There’s confusion about the word “origin”. The Snoqualmie’s origin is at the base of Mount Si; the tree they climbed down was removed by Weyerhaueser in the 1960s.
The roundabout probably is the site of their first settle-ment. They are not a Beaker People, and they are not Iron Age. They are a basket people. Their clothing, hats, fishing nets, to name a few,
are made from the roots of cedar trees. Look at the old pictures of Celilo Falls. Are they using metal hooks or spears? No, they’re using nets or sharpened poles.
Ergo, finding archeologi-cal artifacts at the site is impossible. Snoqualmie is completing what was started over 400 years ago: Genocide, cultural, physi-cal, spiritual.

Lawsuits don’t help steelhead
The stated purpose of the Wild Fish Conservancy, The Conservation Angler, Wild Steelhead Coalition, and Native Fish Society is to eliminate hatchery plants of steelhead by establishing wild steelhead gene banks, and turn these rivers into catch and release fisheries.
They persuade us with attractive vocabulary, like diverse, extinct, wild fish recovery. They disingenu-ously conflate the terms “wild” and “native” and neglect to inform us that all release of hatchery steel-head in Puget Sound Rivers is suspended through 2015.
What they do not cite is any direct, dispositive and credible scientific founda-tion to support the claim that eliminating hatchery fish will help the “wild” steelhead rebound.
For almost 100 years some hatchery steelhead have been spawning with native steelhead rather than returning to the hatchery. During the same period, hybrid surviving smolts along with the “native” smolts, if any now remain,
swim to the ocean and return to spawn, identi-fied by their adipose fin as “wild” fish. But wild does not mean native. Wild could be anything from 100 percent native steelhead genes, to 100 percent hatch-ery genes.
Rather than threaten WDFW and NOAA with lawsuits, my opinion is to simply allow the profession-al adults in those agencies to manage steelhead.

Law will only endanger teens
Regarding ‘Serving alco-hol to minors is not cool’, (Aug. 19 issue) I will be writ-ing in again next time the police are peeling some teen off the tree they wrapped their car around because they were drunk, and not in a safe environment.
Saying ‘they are breaking very important laws’ is a disservice to the commu-nity. A dead teen is a bigger liability than a drunk teen, passed out in their own bed.
Some teens will drink. They always have. They always will. By penalizing the people who are trying to let kids be kids—safely—we are killing kids.
As a teenager, I used to party in an abandoned lot. I was arrested at 17 for smoking pot and started life with a criminal record. My friends died in car crashes.
Next time I write it will be to say ‘Thanks, Police, for trying to monetize a stupid, destructive law.’

Thirty-five years ago, Jean Macris opened a nutritional supplement shop on North Bend Way, next to her family’s other business, George’s Bakery. On Friday, Sept. 11, she will celebrate her retirement and the grand opening of Twin Peaks Nutrition and Wellness, in the same location that she operated Nature’s Marketplace.
Macris’ daughter, Angelique Saffle, said “Both these downtown stores were gathering places for the community to visit, learn and spend time together. We were ahead of the times bringing health and wellness to the Valley,” which seems to have attracted many health practitioners in recent years.
Sharon Hockenbury, the owner and operator of the new Twin Peaks Nutrition shop, was one of those people. An herbalist, reiki practitioner and nutrition consultant, Hockenbury has lived in North Bend since 2002 and has had a connection to Nature’s Marketplace for years.
“My daughter, her first job when she was 18 was here,” Hockenbury recalled.
Hockenbury has been setting up shop in North Bend since June, but wanted to give special recognition to Macris with her opening event.
“Jean has been in this community for 51 years,” she said. Macris’ own passion for wellness is what prompted
Hockenbury to look into opening her own shop“She had a real heart to keep it as a nutrition and wellness
center,” Hockenbury said. “So that’s how I knew her.” During the grand opening celebration, from 4 to 6
p.m. Friday, the shop will offer free five-minute massages, refreshments, and guests will be invited to write on a mem-ory board for Macris.
North Bend Mayor Ken Hearing is scheduled to officially cut the ribbon on the new shop.
Hockenbury is in the midst of “evolving” some of the shop’s offerings, both in products and other elements of wellness.
“We do Zumba here now and restorative yoga is coming,” she said.
Twin Peaks Wellness and Nutrition is located at 125 W. North Bend Way, North Bend, (425) 888-3222, and online at www.twinpeaksnutritionandwellness.com.

Wednesday, Sept. 2, was back to school day for kids all the way from first graders at Cascade View Elementary School, to Seniors at Mount Si High School.
Early that morning the Freshman Campus of Mount Si High School started the orientation of all the new students com-ing into high school for the first time. They started by splitting into groups, introducing themselves and coming up with a chant for the assembly. Once every-
one was acquainted, all the students were called to the gym for an assembly where every group per-formed their Wildcat chant, watched a video about bul-lying and were introduced to the schools schedule.
The Link Crew, a group of upperclass students at Mount Si High School, lead the freshman groups and helped the morning run smoothly as well as gave a warm welcome to the new students.
Corinne Immel, Counselor at Mount Si
High School, said that she was very proud of the Link Crew students that morn-ing.
“The Juniors and Seniors showed pride in their school today while focus-ing the kids and being as flexible as possible,” Immel said.
Associate Principal Vernie Newell also expressed his happiness with their work.
“The Link Crew really did an outstanding job that engaged freshman,” Newell said.

Policy Act (SEPA) Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS)
The Snoqualmie Valley School District (SVSD) has determined that proposed improvements to Chief Kanim Middle School
sports fields will not have a prob- able significant adverse impact on the environment; therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c).

This in- formation is available to the pub- lic for review at the address be- low upon request.Description of the Proposed Action. Snoqualmie Valley School District proposes to re- place the Chief Kanim Middle School natural turf football/ soccer field with synthetic turf to maximize the utility of the field and minimize maintenance re- quirements.

Wiper TalesHere’s a news � ash: It’s much easier to avoid hitting things you can see. Simple as it is, that’s the concept behind replacing your windshield wipers before they fossilize into noisy uselessness. Fall is the ideal wiper replacement time: after the blade-baking summer and before the fall and winter nastiness. Depending on location, wiper replacement may be an annual affair in the Southwest to a biannual chore in northern climes. Your Dealer should inspect these on every visit, follow their recommendations.
