Cody Eads, 19, of North Bend, has been charged in the New Year’s morning hit-and-run death of Lucinda Pieczatkowski.

He is scheduled to be arraigned on hit and run felony charges Aug. 21. If convict-ed, Eads could face 31 months to 41 months in prison.

Pieczatkowski, also of North Bend, was walking along Stone Quarry Road between 1:30 and 2 a.m. New Year’s morning

when she was hit by a truck and killed. The 57-year-old woman had been at the Snoqualmie Casino with friends. They left the casino and were driving east when she got into an argument with the driver, left the vehicle and started walking in a differ-ent direction.

Her body was found a short time later in a ditch near the 10200 block of Stone Quarry Road, also known as 394th Place Southeast. Her purse and its contents were scattered on the west side of the road. She

died from catastrophic injuries she received when struck by a truck, according to King County Superior Court charging papers.

In 1938, a small group of vol-unteer firemen and their wives organized a festival to celebrate the origins of the logging town of Snoqualmie.

Now, seventy-five years later, that community is still celebrat-ing, welcoming 10,000 of their closest friends each year to Snoqualmie Railroad Days. This

year’s festival, Aug. 16-18, will feature the return of traditional favorites, from train rides and the Grand Parade to live enter-tainment and the Legends Car Club Show.

Organizer Jennifer Osborn said to in order to keep bringing the community together each year, the Northwest Railway Museum tweaks the event lineup to keep it fresh.

“We try to take what we’re already doing and partner with organizations that do what they do best,” Osborn said.

For example, the Kids Fun Zone, sponsored by the YMCA, features arts and activities for the younger festival goers.

“Who does kids better then the Y?” Osborn said.

The ninth annual Boeing Classic golf tournament tees up again at TPC Snoqualmie Aug. 19-25.

The weeklong event includes PGA Tour champi-ons competing for $2 million on the 18-hole scenic course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The charity tournament fea-tures sport and celebrity golf-ers and a military apprecia-tion flyover.

Only legends of golf 50 or older are invited to play in the Boeing Classic. Defending champion Jay Don Blake is expected to play despite a shoulder injury he suffered at the beginning of the season. Local favorite Seattle native Fred Couples has entered. At last year’s event, Couples was injured on his first drive and withdrew from the tourna-ment.

Rumble on the Ridge kicks off the tournament Aug. 19. The charity event matches groups of golfers with a celebrity for a day of golf. The majority of the celebri-ties are Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor inductees and NFL Hall of Famers. They include Sam Adkins, Jacob Green and Jim Zorn. Other celebri-ties include retired Seattle Mariners players and sports broadcasters Dan Wilson and Bill Krueger.

Hikers and joggers who have been detoured around the construction on the Snoqualmie Valley trail in North Bend since April will soon have access to a shiny new bridge that connects the valley with the portions of the Three Forks Natural Area.

The single steel girder span that crosses over the wetlands near downtown North Bend is expected to be open before this weekend, according to Doug Williams of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks.

Work on the new over-pass required the trail to be closed between the Mt. Si golf Course and the trail’s intersection with Main Avenue North in downtown North Bend. The 31-mile trail begins on the north edge of Duvall, heads south through Carnation and Fall City,

touches Tollgate Park and Meadowbrook Farm and finishes at the Iron Horse State Park near Rattlesnake Lake and the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.

The steel structure replaces the original decayed wooden trestle that was built from creosote-soaked railroad ties. Total cost for the project was an estimated $300,000.

Williams said the bridge reopens the complete length of the 31-mile trail. The trail surface is comprised mostly of crushed gravel to accom-modate both two legged and four-legged users. The Snoqualmie Valley trail is the longest trail in the county’s 175-mile trail system. The inclines, said Williams, are few and slight in comparison to

many paths in the area.“It’s a peaceful, tran-

quil trail that does not seem to attract the same kind of traffic as Tiger Mountain or Mount Si, “said Williams. “The trail winds through the largely rural Snoqualmie River Valley, passing working farms, forests and parks as well as the cities of Duvall, Carnation, Snoqualmie and North Bend.”

There will be no official ceremony or ribbon-cut-ting to mark the opening.

“The old bridge served the community well past its useful life,” Williams said. “The new single-span steel girder bridge should serve residents of the county for generations to come.”

The old timber bridge on the Snoqualmie Valley Trail has been replaced with a single-span steel girder bridge.

Join the North Bend Masons for their re-dedi-cation of Unity Masonic Lodge No. 198 and Centennial Celebration on Aug. 17. The re-dedi-cation, conducted by the Executive Officers of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted

Masons, begins at 10 a.m., followed by lunch at noon at the North Bend Masonic Center, 119 ½ W. North Bend Way. The celebration event is free and open to the public.

The North Bend Masons first met as a lodge in January of 1912 and

received its official status in 1913. For the last 100 years, the Unity Lodge has served as the dance hall for the town and support-ed all the Masonic groups in the area, including the Order of the Eastern Star, the Order of the DeMolay and the Order of the Rainbow Girls.

Currently, the Unity Lodge still serves as the meeting site for the North Bend Masons. It also hous-es the Valley Center Stage Theater and SingleTrack Cycle. The hall is available for community rentals.

The event is open to the public and is free to attend.

Group plans next steps for winter shelter program

The Snoqualmie Valley Winter Shelter group will hold a public forum from 4-5:30 p.m. Aug. 17 at the North Bend Community Church, 146 E. Third St.

The forum will include a review of the first shel-ter season, introduction of the partner organiza-tions behind the group and discussion about the next steps. Organizers will share stories from the first shelter season.

Last winter, the Valley Renewal Center was

launched. It provided a warm, safe place for homeless men, women and families with chil-dren. In addition to shelter, participants were given meals and things such as personal hygiene items, plus resource information to help them find opportunities to help themselves.

The meal event has continued even though the shelter was only open during the winter. Dinners are served at 8 p.m. Mondays and 5 p.m. Fridays. Volunteers are needed to prepare the ongoing meals.

Suffering sassafras! Heat colors the guys’ language

Sometimes it is just a matter of getting the right players to sit down at the table. At the Key Leaders Summit Aug. 12 at Chief Kanim Middle School in Fall City, the right players included community activists, civic leaders, city employees, and representatives from non-profit groups.

The Summit is an annual event organized by the Snoqualmie Valley Community Network (SVCN). The Network was started in 1994 to create a caring community that promotes healthy children and families and support-ing children at risk.

The theme for this year’s Summit was Snapshot of a Healthy Community.

Healthy communities are no accident. Like the proverbial village needed to raise a child, many committed individuals, organizations and government services build strong commu-nities. With the current multiple demands on agencies and reduced resources, the vision of this year’s SVCN Summit was to connect groups for potential partnerships.

The day began with panelists from agencies describing the services they provide. The five included: Ashley DeForest of King County Metro talking about bus service; Nichole Sanders from the City of Snoqualmie talking about healthy programs; David Burger of Snoqualmie Strategies Group sharing sustain-able environmental practices he brings to landowners and farmers; Kathy Brasch from the Duvall/Carnation Citizen Corps which trains citizens for emergencies; and Kirsten Erickson, the reference librarian for the King County Libraries in Fall City, North Bend and Snoqualmie.

The more than 70 participants were just as diverse as the panelists. There were community activists, a deputy fire chief from Eastside Fire & Rescue, a King County sheriff, represen-tatives from the Chamber of Commerce, Encompass, the Mt. Si Food Bank and from the North Bend Theatre.

How could anything, beyond funding issues and the desire to help the community, tie this diverse group together? Turns out a common need did emerge.

After the panel presentation and a question-and-answer session, each table group described what their vision of what the Valley needed. Table after table responded the same way – a common website to pool their information.

Timing, it seems, is everything.Nate Perea, chief executive officer of the Snoqualmie

Valley Chamber of Commerce, raised his hand and announced a new website.

“We’re happy to be the host agency,” he said. “We’ve been working on it and snovalley.org will be launched within a month.”

Sometimes all it takes is to get everyone sitting down together.

Save Snoqualmie Parkway

I am writing to express my concern of the superfast development on Snoqualmie Parkway, the effect on home val-ues, natural character, and the Snoqualmie Master plan, espe-cially regarding the proposed Land Use on Parcel S-13 between Swenson and Jacobia. The pro-posed plan allows the chopping down of more trees to build an 89-unit housing development.

Currently, the natural aspect of this Parcel S13 adds to the scenery and character of this gateway to and from

Snoqualmie. On the drive in from I-90, you see the Welcome to Snoqualmie sign near Jacobia, and then a bit further the “Tree city USA” sign, then the trees and mountain scenery.

Many enjoy the pathway on the Parkway located directly in front of Parcel S13 for walking, running, cycling, etc. I feel the enjoyment of all this gateway asset would be greatly dimin-ished if development on this Parcel S13 occurs.

In 2004, there was a city Resolution to allow develop-ment on Parcel S13, and thus it is likely difficult to contest now.

Growth and Development is inevitable, however, responsible “controlled” growth must be maintained to keep the qual-ity of this gateway, Snoqualmie Parkway.

If development on Parcel S13 occurs, I would like to see the additional buffer requirements maintained. Remember in the Snoqualmie Master Plan, many sections deal with community character and design.

Please preserve our scenic resources and the gateways to our city.

“Sanctimonious siphons, it’s hot!” said Dud, sitting at the philosophy counter and turning over his coffee cup for action with a single smooth move. Dud is a regular at the Mule Barn truck stop’s legendary world dilemma think tank.

“Epithet time again, Dudley?” said Doc.

“Epithets and heat time, Doc. When that heat comes along, the only thing that can really change an attitude is a prop-erly tuned epithet. It’s man’s emotional release valve, but of course you know that, being a doctor and all.”

Dud doctored his coffee and took a sip.

“Right?” “Oh …” said Doc, “right

… of course. We took Epithets 1A and 1B in medical school, naturally. ‘Emotional release valves and their perfection’ they were called. I got an A in Epithetology for the Masses in my third year, too.”

“You’re just putting me on.”“Maybe.”“Let’s look for a moment,”

chimed in Bert, “at why epithets are so good for the soul.”

“He’s going to wave his arms again,” whispered Doc to Dud.

“I’m afraid so…”“Yes,” said Bert, “epithets,

While hunger that affects people is com-mon knowledge, what often may be overlooked is hunger affecting pets, especially those cared for by low-income pet-owners. Fortunately, there are sum-mer activities that allow pet-lovers to help the needy pet owners.

One way to lend a helping hand is the Poker for Paws Walk, part of the Dog Days of Summer event at 1 p.m. Aug. 18 at Three Forks Off-Lease Dog Park, 39912 S.E. Park St., Snoqualmie.

Poker for Paws benefits the Snoqualmie Valley Pet Food Bank.

Participants walk a half-mile with friends or pets or both and collect poker cards along the way. Once participants create a poker hand by collecting five cards, the top three poker hands win prizes.

“Dog Days of Summer originally started with the idea of letting the commu-nity know about the Three Forks Off-Leash dog park,” said Dusty Cavalier, director of the pet food bank and organizer of the poker walk. “It’s a way to bring the community and their dogs together in a fun venue.”

The Snoqualmie Ridge Home Owners Association and the City of Snoqualmie sponsor the event. They invited the pet food bank to par-ticipate last year and the home owners group pro-vides prizes for the poker

walk.Walk participants stop

at five stations along the route and receive one card at each station. At the end of the walk, if they want to upgrade their hand, they can make a dona-tion to draw additional cards. Although there is no charge to participate in the Poker for Paws Walk, donations are welcomed. The donations may be monetary, dog or cat food, or a pet toy.

“People had so much fun doing this last year that some of them went around twice,” Cavaliere said.

Dusty not only enjoys seeing the wide variety of dogs at the gathering but also the owners.

“They [the pet own-ers] have so much love for their pets and are very generous in supporting the pet food bank,” Dusty said.

Last year the weather was so warm that many of the 50 to 70 walkers came without their pets. She’s hoping for a larger turnout this year. The walk isn’t limited to canine owners

– any pet owner or animal lover is welcomed.

Poker for Paws is one of several activities at the annual Dog Days of

Summer. This year will be the third Dog Days and the second Poker for Paws game. Other events include dog agility demonstrations,

a vendor area with pet sup-plies, and food for both owners and canines.

The Snoqualmie Pet Food Bank, a non-profit organization, assists low-income pet owners throughout the valley provide food for their ani-mals. Volunteers set up a table the first Wednesday of the month at the Mt. Si Food Bank.

“Some of our cli-ents have said that if we weren’t there, they couldn’t keep their pets,” Cavaliere said. “They’re so grateful when we’re at the food bank.”

The nonprofit group

currently nourishes more than 300 dogs and cats. It receives some support from the Humane Society of King County.

To find out more about the Snoqualmie Valley Pet Food Bank and how you can donate, visit their webpage at www.svpetfood-bank.org. Throughout the month of August, Chase Bank, 35019 S.E. Center St., Snoqualmie, is hosting a pet food drive. Drop off dry or canned dog and cat food, collars, leashes, pet beds, blankets, flea medi-cine, kitty litter, treats, and toys or cash at the bank.

The Snoqualmie Police Department and the Police Explorers will be issuing identification cards for pint-sized family mem-bers at Railroad Days Aug. 17-18 through the Kids ID Club program. While chil-dren will feel cool to get their own official-looking ID, the project can be a useful tool if their child gets kidnapped or goes missing.

A photo stand will be set up in the Police Department Safety booth at the festival. The child

will go with their parents to the booth for the pic-tures. Police will add con-tact information and fin-gerprint the child, putting it all on the identification card.

The Snoqualmie Police Department has been doing the program for about a year.

“[Over that year] maybe 50 kids have done it,” said Sgt. Bob Keeton. “It is a nationwide pro-gram.”

The police do not keep the information in their department records so parents need to track the card.

“It is an ID system and not really a club per se,” said Keeton. “If a kid were to get lost the parents could show the ID to a police officer to

reunite them with their parents.”

There is no charge for the service but donations are requested. The money raised from the project will go to help fund an upcoming Explorers chal-lenge event.

Keeton and Catherine Cotton, a Snoqualmie Fire Department EMT volun-teer, want to emphasize that the ID Club will be at Railroad Days and not at the Pancake Breakfast at the Snoqualmie Fire Department as it was last year.

The breakfast all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Snoqualmie Fire Department will run from 7 to 11 a.m. at the fire sta-tion. The menu includes pancakes, ham, orange juice and coffee. Cost is $5

for adults, $3 for children and free for children 5 and under.

“People need to go to the pancake breakfast first then head downtown to the police booth,” said Cotton.

Stopping for pancakes includes a chance to see fire fighting apparatus up close, visit with fire-fighters and participate in a raffle and silent auction. Children’s bike helmets will be available for purchase. Volunteers will help fit the helmets. Proceeds from the break-fast help support special equipment purchases and charities in the commu-nity.

“Our pancake breakfasts are always a fun family experience and a good cause,” Cotton said.

Who better to tell you who we are than one of our parents: Both of our children have had the amazing blessing and experience of attending Mountain Valley Montessori. My son, now in 2nd grade, is an excellent reader and at the head of his class in math. Our daughter, age 3 1/2, is reading 3 and 4 letter words and her self-confidence and independence as well as love of learning are all blossoming. Both of my kids have been to the summer camps and absolutely loved them. I have never felt my kids were in better hands than when they were/are at MVM; as a parent, that is priceless. I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Kris Prochaska, MA, LMHC

THE CALENDAR FOR AUGUST 16-22

By Christina Corrales-Toy

For most high school football athletes, their career on the gridiron ends when the last of those Friday night lights flicker to darkness.

Some go on to play the sport at the collegiate level and beyond, but that isn’t an option for the major-ity. The itch to get on the field, tackle an opponent and be a part of a unique brotherhood is not easily tossed aside, though.

The Bellevue Bulldogs junior college football team hopes to provide the relief to that itch, and encourage athletes to remain in school while continuing their career.

“The biggest issue is that when an individual gets out of high school, and maybe doesn’t have the grades or a scholar-ship to get into a four-year school, there was nothing in this area for him to play football, until now,” said Larry Rude, an Issaquah resident and Bellevue Bulldogs trustee.

Led by head coach Kevin

Bouwman, the first-year team features local play-ers, including a graduate of Mount Si High School, from various community colleges. It will compete in the Northwest Junior College Football League, playing against teams from across the state.

Though the team car-ries the mascot of Bellevue College, and most of its players attend the school, it is independent of the college, Bouwman said.

“We can’t be involved with the schools. They just don’t have the budget for it, for liability and all that,” he said.

A second chance to playThe last time former

Mount Si High School

quarterback Chris Clark donned the scarlet and grey was in a 2009 playoff loss to Bellevue. It’s a loss that the 2010 graduate remembers to this day.

“It was a bummer to lose to Bellevue, but at the same time, they won the

state championship,” he said.

After graduation, Clark played at Shasta College in Redding, Calif., but yearned for a more local option to play football,

Kasey Maralack, of Snoqualmie, earned an invitation to the Drive, Chip and Putt National Championship at the Masters in Augusta, Ga., in 2014. The 9-year-old won the Pacific Northwest Regional Aug. 11 at The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie.

Maralack scored 35 points in chipping, which was the best in the group, but excelled in her putting. She started off slowly on the first short putt with 5 points, but holed the longer second and third putts for 25 points each. She won the Chip, Putt and Overall medals.

The Drive Chip and Putt is a new junior golf development initiative created by the Masters Tournament Foundation, the United States Golf Association and The PGA of America, which was announced during the 2013 Masters, with the goal of attracting more young people to the game.

The top two local qualifiers in each age/gender bracket advanced to regionals. There were 110 sites around the country that ran qualify-ing tournaments. The top finishers in each age/

gender bracket at the regional level earned invitations to Augusta National. The 88 boys and girls, ages 7-15, will compete the Sunday prior to the 2014 Masters Tournament.

Maralack’s older sis-ter, Caitlin, 15, is also a noted youth golfer. She will be a sopho-more at Mount Si High School and is a mem-ber of the Wildcats golf team. Caitlin has a 4 handicap and had her lowest round, 72, when she won the Washington Junior Golf Association golf tourna-ment event earlier this year. A week ago she tied for 10th place in an American Junior Golf Association tournament in California.

“I guess all these years of following her big sis is paying off for Kasey,” said the girls’ father, David Maralack. “Kasey started golfing at 3 and started playing tourna-ment golf when she was 8 years old.”

The Maralack fam-ily belongs to TPC Snoqualmie. David Maralack plays at least one round of golf a week with his daughters.

Kasey Maralack will be a fourth-grader at Fall City Elementary School in September.

which is why he jumped at the chance to join the Bulldogs.

“I was very excited to hear that we had a football team in the area because it means not only me, but the kids around the area that don’t get the chance to travel to differ-ent states to play, it gives them an opportunity,” he said.

Many of the players are young men who likely did not obtain scholar-ships to a four-year col-lege, had academic issues that prevented them from going to a university or physically matured at a different pace. The ath-letes range in age from about 18-23.

‘No kid is left behind’The goal of most of

these players is to play and get noticed by a four-year school willing to offer a scholarship, said Bouwman, who played college football himself, starring at linebacker for Utah State University.

“You ask any one of them and their aspira-tions are to go to that next level,” he said. “I will do everything I can to give them that oppor-tunity.”

The team includes players from across the Puget Sound area, includ-ing Issaquah, Renton, Bellevue and Seattle. Athletes are required to take at least five credits of junior college coursework to join the team, though Bouwman suggests they

take more.“First and foremost,

the goal is to get these guys in school,” he said. “I encourage them to be taking a full load, 12 cred-its at least, so that if that opportunity to go to the next level arises, they’re ready for it academically, too.”

As an independent team, the Bulldogs are solely responsible for their expenses. That includes uniforms, field time, referees and practice equipment, all amassing a tally of nearly $40,000 this season.

The Bulldogs offi-cially began practicing at Ringdall Middle School in Bellevue, the former site of Eastside Catholic High School. The field is rough, filled with ruts, but it is all the team can afford for now.

“We’re starting from scratch now,” Rude said.

“The four trustees on the board have put in their own money to get this thing rolling, but we’re not really wealthy guys.”

The team is looking for sponsors to help with the costs, and every little bit helps, Rude said. The team could also use vol-unteers, coaches and fans, he added.

“We want to make sure no kid is left behind,” he said.

The Bellevue Bulldogs kick off their season Aug. 31 against Kitsap Peninsula Junior College. Their first home game, held at Renton Memorial Stadium, is Sept. 22.

Cascade Football Club goalie Grace Stetston stopped two shots-on-goal during a shootout to set up the Rimland Pacific Cup Championship win Aug. 11.

The Cascade FC G00 Green U-13 team defeat-ed the Timbers from Vancouver, 2-1, in the showdown in Bellingham.

The champion-ship game against the Washington Timbers FC G00 was tied 1-1 at game’s end. Neither Cascade nor the Timbers were able to score in overtime, setting up the shootout situation. After Stetson blocked the opponent’s two shots, Cascade kickers Sarah

Hommas, Ella Furness and Abigail McKenzie booted the ball into the goal to win the game.

Earlier this summer, the Cascade team won the Yakima Mid-Summer Classic. They defeated Norpoint FC G00 from Tacoma, 4-2. In that tour-nament, Cascade advanced to the championship round by holding teams from Pasco and Marysville scoreless. The local girls scored 14 goals and only gave up 2 points in the final matchup.

The Snoqualmie Valley team of 16 players is coached by Steve Lilleberg, of North Bend, and Eric Berberich, of Carnation.

Critical support in the unincorporated areas of King County for a food bank, a senior center, neighborhood events, cleanup campaigns and youth organizations was announced Aug. 13 by King County Executive Dow Constantine.

They included two Snoqualmie Valley proj-ects.

“Volunteers and non-profits in our unincor-porated communities are pulling together to make their neighborhoods more caring, safe and fun, and I’m pleased to see how these grants can help support their work,” said Constantine, in making 25 Community Engagement Grants through the Community Service Area program.

The grants for commu-nity enhancement range up to $5,000 each, with a required community match of at least one-fourth of the total proj-ect. Altogether, $60,000 will fund 25 projects throughout unincorpo-rated King County.

The grants offer residents in the coun-ty’s seven Community

Service Areas a chance to participate and be more connected in their unincorporated area communities. Activities must be accessible to all residents regard-less of race, income or language spoken. Local grant-funded projects include Fall City com-munity’s volunteer cleanup along the Snoqualmie River and continued support for disaster readiness in the Snoqualmie Valley.

“With so many qual-ity applications to choose from this year, we selected projects of great-est immediate benefit to their communities,” said Alan Painter, manager of the Community Service Area Program. “We are moving up our applica-tion process for the next grant cycle to this fall, to keep interest up and to enable more communi-ties to participate.”

Learn more about the grant program and the work to strengthen the county’s connection with unincorporated area resi-dents at www.kingcounty.gov/exec/community-ser-vice-areas.aspx.

Discover a King County park or trail you’ve never explored before — and earn a com-memorative geocoin, too — by taking King County Parks’ GeoTour this sum-mer.

The tour began in 2012 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the county’s first use of Conservation Futures funds to purchase land threatened by develop-

ment, according to a news release from King County Parks. All 20 sites on the GeoTour are part of King County Parks, thanks to Conservation Futures.

The King County Parks GeoTour is the perfect summertime activity for individuals, families and groups. Participation is easy.

Go to http://1.usa.gov/Q1Nvwm to find the

passport, which includes instructions and space for 20 stamps that can be found in geocache boxes hidden at the 20 different locations.

Participants have until Oct. 6 to find all 20 geo-caches and collect the 20 stamps to claim their com-memorative geocoin.

For more than 30 years, government and nonprofit groups across King County have used

the Conservation Futures Tax to protect from development 111,000 acres of land, forests, shorelines, greenways and trails, including gems such as Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park, plus urban parks, greenbelts and agricultural land.

Thousands of Washingtonians have qualified for two round-trip airline tickets valued at more than $1,100, according to hand-addressed letters from a company claiming to be “American.” This too-good-to-be-true offer has prompted a Better Business Bureau investiga-tion.

BBB serving Alaska, Oregon and Western Washington called the 1-800 number on the unsolicited letter and spoke with someone in the “Awards Division” who was able to sign a BBB employee for an

exclusive, “invitation-only open house” at an Anchorage, Alaska, hotel conference room.

After sitting through a 90-minute sales pre-sentation with 12 other Anchorage residents, BBB’s undercover inves-tigator and her friend were offered a “Platinum Membership” in a life-time vacation club for $8,995 plus recurring fees, and could only receive the travel vouch-er after making a deci-sion.

BBB identified the fol-lowing red flags:

q No company infor-mation is provided to

customers before the event, so they are unable to properly research any offers.

q The company stress-es its position as a con-tracted intermediary — it claims to not have sent out the original letters and it claims no formal affiliation with the par-ent company that actu-ally offers the member-ships it is selling — but fails to detail those rela-tionships.

q The company repeat-edly references its good standing with BBB, even though the BBB Business Review it shows in its sales presentation is for a sepa-

rate company with which it contracts.

q The letters do not properly disclose the fees and restrictions of the air-line vouchers:

— A “Registration Activation Fee” of $50 per ticket is required.

— A “Processing Fee” of $59 per ticket is required.

— Travelers are respon-sible for taxes, surcharges and fuel charges.

— Travel is not per-mitted within seven days before or after all federal holidays or Easter — leaving few available weeks.

q Only couples with valid credit cards — cards and identifications are checked at the door — are allowed into the presen-tation, eliminating the excuse, “Oh, I have to talk to my wife/husband before making such a large pur-chase…”

q One-on-one high-pressure sales tactics make attendees uncom-fortable and consumers may be persuaded into making uneducated spur-of-the-moment pur-chases.

Letter recipients should avoid getting involved with compa-nies that do not operate with transparency and integrity. Report decep-tive advertising or fraud to the Better Business Bureau at http://akorww.bbb.org/Contact-BBB and the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/ftc/contact.shtm.

While perusing vendor booths selling crafts, food and offering information on non-profit groups, three stages offer live entertainment all day — the Arts Stage offer-

ing up a unique variety of music, the Kids Stage with tunes sure to get the little ones dancing and the Main Stage featuring everything from jazz and Americana to blues and classic rock.

On Saturday, catch the Grand Parade sweeping through town at 11 a.m., and on Sunday, be sure to stop by when the streets are overtaken by hot rods in the Legends Classic Car Show.

Osborn said new this year is an effort to go green.

“We’ve received a grant from Waste Management ‘Keep America Beautiful,’” she said. “We’ll be measur-

ing waste and recycling, providing compostable cups at the beer and wine gardens and trying to help meet the needs of ven-dors, so we an move more toward zero waste.”

With a packed schedule, organizers still found room to add new activities this year including lumberjack demonstrations featuring local lumberjacks David and Annette Moses and six of their friends with three shows on Saturday.

“This addition has got-ten quite a buzz,” Osborn said.

cated the vehicle that struck Pieczatkowski was either a Ford F-150 pickup or a Ford Bronco.

The charging papers say Eads had been at a New Year’s Eve party where he admits he was drinking beer. He had an argument with his girl-

friend and left the party. Eads called his girlfriend after the crash and asked her to come over. In the case summary, she is quoted as saying he was “bawling his head off and didn’t know what to do.”

The Eads family attor-ney contacted the King County Sheriff’s Office Jan. 2 and informed them that the truck involved in the crash was at the Eads’ residence.

The truck was impound-ed and had damaged consistent with striking a pedestrian.

Detectives have been gathering evidence in the case since, including veri-fication that Eads was at the party in Fall City and tracking his cellphone usage.

Eads, a Mount Si High School 2012 graduate, is a student at Eastern Washington University.

According to data gath-ered from experiments conducted in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., the National Honesty Index found Washington state to be the 16th most honest.

Beverage company HONEST Tea developed the experiment to deter-mine how honest people are when it seems no one is looking. The company set up unmanned kiosks stocked with its beverages and offered them for $1 on the honor system.

From July 8-18, 61 locations throughout the country were tested, with data collected on how many people paid for the beverages.

Overall, Americans were 92 percent honest, with Alabama and Hawaii tying for most honest state at 100 percent.

The experiment results also found:

q Washington, D.C., was the least honest with

80 percent of participants paying for their beverage.

q Overall, women are more honest than men (95 percent vs. 91 percent) — the same percentages in both the 2012 and 2013 tests.

q Unlike last year where redheads were most honest, in 2013 blondes were the most honest (95 percent) and followed by brunettes (93 percent) and then redheads (92 per-cent).

q The longer your hair, the more honest you are. People with short hair were 91 percent honest, vs. people with medium and long hair (93 percent and 94 percent honest, respectively).

q People in groups (96 percent honest) tend to be more honest than people on their own (91 percent honest).

two officers responded to a report of a distur-bance at Finaghty’s in the 7700 block of Center Boulevard Southeast. The suspect had been asked to leave the establish-ment after demanding expensive drinks and talking about stabbing someone and then burn-ing the place down.

When ejected, the suspect reportedly began kicking the fence around the beer garden, knock-ing over tables and chairs. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and fell asleep as soon as he got into the back seat of the patrol car.

During a breathalyzer test, he tested so high for alcohol that he was transported to the hos-pital for evaluation. Less than two hours later, the

hospital called and asked the officers to pick up the suspect because he was unwilling to accept treatment. He was given a free ride to jail.
