Hollywood couldn’t have planned it better. While a lot of cities have visitor centers to welcome tourists, few have such drop-dead gorgeous back-drops.

Imagine coming into town for the first time. You get off Interstate 90 at what is billed as the main North Bend exit and head north. After passing the outlet mall and the usual free-way exit gas stations and fast food spots, you head toward downtown.

On your right you notice a cleared patch of forest land. While it isn’t obvious yet what will go on the to-be-developed site, the removal of trees has a benefit for the visitor: There’s a view of the river.

A few yards further and you cross a bridge. Then, you see a giant wheel outside the Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum.

Just beyond that, at the cor-ner of Bendigo Boulevard and Park Street, the North Bend Visitor Center welcomes you. And then there’s that drop-dead Hollywood-style back-ground.

The Snoqualmie Valley’s local mountain — Mount Si — beckons in the background. The scene typifies North Bend, a combination of nature and small-town structures that house active and vital busi-nesses.

That’s exactly what the North Bend Downtown Foundation planned.

“When we began planning, we said how great it would be to have a visitor center right there,” said Geoff Doy, presi-dent of the group. “We said how great it would be to see Mount Si behind it.”

The modern Northwest lodge-style visitor center struc-turally matches the Bartell Drug Store right behind it, both the brainchild of property develop-er, Tom Sroufe, of Brook Water

Advisors. The foundation and the city of North Bend have a five-year lease with Sroufe for the visitor center building.

The center opened for visitors the last week of August and will celebrate its Grand Opening from 4-6 p.m. Sept. 13 with music, refreshments and a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The look and feel of the center, Doy said, was some-thing the community-volunteer foundation discussed for eight or nine weeks. It reflects the group’s vision for downtown — a modern Northwest look.

Inside the building, open Wednesday through Sunday, visitors will find more than just brochures about the area.

The building also houses the Mountain View Gallery that currently features work from photographer Greg Schatzlein and sculptor Brian Ferril. Two touch-screen computers offer up-to-date information about local sites and activities, and a larger monitor displays pho-tographs from local photogra-phers.

New artists will be featured every couple of months accord-

Feeling lucky? Then wait until the last minute and purchase your tickets to the third annual Fall Fling Fashion Show at the door Sept. 14.

Nancy Wray, the organizer of the benefit for the House of Hope, won’t give you good odds on tickets being available at Boxley’s. The event, she said, has sold out the first two years.

“Last year, we had to turn away people at the door,” she said.

Wray owns Birches Habitat, the North Bend store that spon-sors the show. She started the fundraiser in 2012 after reading a story in the SnoValley Star about the House of Hope shelter for women.

“I wanted to do something to help,” she said. “I talked to people and said, ‘Let’s do a fash-ion show.’”

Three weeks later, Wray and five friends watched in awe as supporters scooped up every ticket to the fashion show that features volunteer models from the local community.

She repeated the event last year, commenting that even the husbands of the volunteers will-ingly signed up for a second go-around. The men had complained a lot when they were recruited the first year to help with the heavy hauling and other tasks.

This year’s show will again be held at Boxley’s. The party — and

Wray describes it as much a party as a fashion show — begins at 6 p.m. Sept. 14. Tickets are $32 and include a glass of cham-pagne. Food and drink service will be available on a no-host basis.

The House of Hope is a shelter in Snoqualmie

that helps women who have been abused transi-tion back into healthy and independent lives.

Although Wray said the main purpose of the fash-ion show is to raise money for House of Hope, the secondary part is getting to see friends and neighbors.

“If you want to have a great time sipping wine and hooting at the volun-teers — who are all locals — on the catwalk, get your tickets now,” she said.

ing to Pamela Wickard, the manager of the visi-tor center who is herself a local artist.

“This is all part of a vision that started five years ago, when we planned to revitalize his-toric downtown North Bend,” Doy said. “We weren’t looking for cute. We wanted the outdoor feeling with the Cascade (Mountains) backdrop.”

The revitalization and development of a visitor center has been a joint project between the North Bend Downtown Foundation and the city of North Bend’s Community and Economic Development.

Doy added that the visi-tor center is just one more wonderful thing happen-ing locally.

“Everything adds to the vibrancy. A small group of volunteers put this together,” he said. “We are getting people to the downtown with our events like the Block Party and the Jazz Walk. The visitor center is one more piece.”

a while and do it again. He did this eighteen times and the course was ready. So each fall on the day of the big tournament, the farmers moved their cattle to a safe pasture away from the possibility of deadly golf balls, and the fun was on.

Doc charges ten bucks a head for the tournament, almost every able-bodied person in the valley plays, and the kids get winter coats. Not a bad deal.

So this year, in honor of Chipper the non-existent pet squirrel, Doc laid out the course up by the forest. The hazards of this year’s course included an elk wallow, a rock face the

size of a library and a thicket of manzanita that a mouse couldn’t penetrate.

Mrs. Doc and Anita got togeth-er and made a clay statue of the mythical squirrel sitting up chew-ing a nut for use as a perpetual trophy for the winner. They put a little engraved brass plate on it that reads “Chipper Invitational Golf Tournament: Dedicated to the nuts in the valley.”

We wonder, also, if Doc ben-efits any from the sale of golf balls down at the dry goods store.

The first fish have been sighted at the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and it’s that time of year again — time to step up to help the amazing salmon that are returning home and the crowds of people that will follow them.

The hatchery, with thousands of visitors every year, is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s hatcheries.

There are many ways you can do right by the salmon and the visitors:

q Volunteer at the hatchery to lead Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery tours and be guides for the thousands of school children, local residents and people from all over the state who come to see this annual mira-cle.

You get a hatchery tour, learn about salmon habitat and the salmon lifecycle, and how the fish return every year to where they came from, and then you get to pass it on. How cool is that? Learn more about FISH at www.issaquahfish.org or call 392-1118.

q Volunteer at the FISHop, the recently opened annual gift shop at the hatchery, where people can stock up on fun, fishy items.

q Put on waders and volunteer to help with the spawn-ing that is done at the hatchery.

q Spruce up your yard and public places, so they look great for visitors coming to see the fish or the more than 150,000 attendees of the 45th annual Salmon Days Festival on Oct. 4-5.

q And finally, even though the volunteer sign-up din-ner has passed, you can volunteer to do all kinds of jobs for the festival that celebrates the salmon’s return.

Help with the Grande Parade; answer questions at infor-mation booths; be a booth Ohfishal, assistant or sitter; help set up stages for the great live entertainment; put up signs and balloons; help sell Salmon Days merchandise; be a festival “runner”; assist people with and help direct them to parking; and clean up during and after the fes-tival. You’ll still even get one of those coveted volunteer T-shirts, although you’ll have to stop by the Festivals Office to pick it up.

All ages are needed. You must be 12 or older, or be accompanied by a parent if you’re younger than 12. Apply at www.salmondays.org/volunteers.html or call 392-0661.

The salmon have traveled for years and untold miles to return home for their last call. Help them and the pub-lic out by giving a few hours of your time. You won’t be sorry you did!

Do you know about the need for diapers?

Sept. 7-13 is National Diaper Need Awareness Week. Do you know about the diaper need nationally, and here at home?

It can cost $100 or more per month to keep a baby in dia-pers. Currently, no safety-net program at the federal or state level helps with buying diapers. Poor families can get help for food through various programs, and specially targeted funds support programs for Women, Infants and Children, but WIC and food-assistance programs cannot be used for diapers.

This gap in the safety net has broad implications. When babies’ diapers are changed infrequently because caregivers

are trying to conserve, children are at increased risk of urinary tract and skin infections, viral meningitis, dysentery and diar-rhea. Babies crying from spend-ing hours in soiled diapers are also at increased risk of abuse.

There is also a connection between having money for dia-pers and sending your children to school and going to work yourself. Most daycare centers, including free and subsidized facilities, will not admit a child who arrives without a day’s sup-ply of diapers. If you don’t have the diapers to take your child to childcare, then you may not be able to go to work or to a train-ing course. If you have federal aid, you could lose it, as many programs, such as Temporary Aid for Needy Families, have

work or training requirements.Eastside Baby Corner, a

local nonprofit, is working to help with diaper need in King County. EBC supplies 11 food banks and hundreds of indi-vidual children with diapers throughout the year – about 700,000 diapers are distributed, free of charge, through social service agencies, hospitals, Public Health the Department of Child and Family Services and schools – but it’s only a fraction of the diapers needed in a state where more than 19 percent of children live below the federal poverty line. You can help by supporting Eastside Baby Corner. Learn more at www.babycorner.org.

Renee ZimmermanEBC executive director

In honor of his entirely fic-tional pet squirrel, Doc is calling the annual golf tournament the Chipper Invitational this year. He’s thinking of making that a permanent name for his inven-tion, the most unusual golf tour-nament in history.

Do you remember how it began? A few years ago Doc decided to raise money to buy winter coats for some of the local kids who can’t afford them. He figured a golf tourna-ment would be just the thing.

But one of the things this valley has never had is a golf course. But that didn’t slow Doc down. With the laughing consent of two farmers whose land abutted each other, Doc got busy. He took a shovel and some long sticks and laid out an 18-hole golf course in less than two hours.

He’d dig a hole and put a long stick next to it. Then he’d walk

Elizabeth McGuireElizabeth McGuire, 78,

a resident of North Bend for more than 50 years, passed away on Aug. 31, 2014, with her daughters Renate and Lisl Mafli by her side.

Elizabeth McGuire was born on Oct. 20, 1935, in Bellingham. She grew up in Diablo, Newhalem, and Marblemount, graduat-ing from Concrete High School in 1954 as salu-tatorian. She graduated from Western Washington University in 1957 with a Bachelor of Arts from the Woodring College of Education.

Elizabeth began

her teaching career in Sedro Woolley (57-58), and later taught in Pacific Beach (58-60) and Eugene, Oregon, (60-62) before joining the Snoqualmie Valley School District in 1962, where she began teach-ing at Snoqualmie Falls

Elementary School. From 1970-77, Elizabeth helped establish the Head Start Preschool program in the Snoqualmie Valley, with classes held at the Si View Community Center. She later taught primary edu-cation and held differ-ent positions within the SVSD, including the first Highly Capable (High C) program at both Fall City Elementary and Opstad Elementary schools. She retired as a fifth-grade teacher from Opstad in 1996.

A lifelong world trav-eler, Elizabeth traveled to all seven continents, swam in all five oceans and stuck her feet in most major bodies of water. She visited all but a handful of states in the USA. At 57,

she took a year’s sabbatical and backpacked her way around the world. Her last trip abroad was with her granddaughter, visiting four South African coun-tries — ending the trip to stand on the southern tip of the continent.

Elizabeth was also an avid artist and appreci-ated art in all forms. She was both a potter and a painter, and filled her home with paintings she collected and cultural art from her travels. She loved music and dancing, attending festivals and concerts often. She was a longtime ticketholder at the Seattle REP, ACT and Village Theatre. She was also a rabid sports fan who loved her Seahawks and Mariners.

Throughout her life, Elizabeth was an active volunteer and was involved in the Snoqualmie Valley Arts League, Children’s Orthopedic Hospital Auxiliary, March of Dimes, 2000 Census, Snoqualmie Valley Historical Museum, Mount Si Senior Center, Cedar River Watershed Education Center, Village Theatre, and participated and donated to many organizations close to her heart.

Elizabeth’s greatest joys were her daughters and granddaughter whom she instilled with her strong sense of adventure, zest for travel, passion for life, love for humanity and the environment, exuberant self-expression (and opin-

ions!) and ongoing quest for knowledge, experience and understanding. She was a woman who truly lived her life!

She is survived by her daughters Renate Mafli, of Redmond, and Lisl Mafli and her husband Ricardo Espinoza, of North Bend; her granddaughter Sabeqwa de los Angeles, of North Bend; her brother Mike McGuire and wife Margo, of Yakima; a niece and two nephews; and many cousins.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, Oct. 18 from 2-5 p.m. at the Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center in North Bend. Plan on wear-ing purple! Donations may be made to the Snoqualmie Valley Food Bank.

Hundreds of parents and their families turned out for an afternoon of free picnic food and festival activities. Politicians joined in the unveil-ing and remarks honoring Jeanne Hansen’s vision, including current Mayor Matt Larson, Snoqualmie City Council members, King County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, county Deputy Executive Fred Jarrett and U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert. At right, Josh Jimenez (right), 10, swings above the turf across the bars on the new playground equipment.

The Mount Si Wildcats greeted their new 4A KingCo status with a smashing victory over the Woodinville Falcons Sept 5.

The 21-0 shutout was the first game in the new league, the first game of the new season and the first at-home game this year.

“I just am extremely pleased with our effort,” head coach Charlie Kinnune said. “I feel like the toughest team is going to win and we did.”

The Wildcats hung their hat on defense this game, holding the Falcons to several three-down and out possessions and keep-ing them to a total of just eight first downs.

“Very excited about our defense,” Kinnune said. “We will be in every game if we continue to play strong defense.”

The Falcons received the kickoff, but were held without a first down and punted their first posses-sion. The Wildcats then pushed toward the end zone, helped by a tricky play for a big gain.

Hillel pitched it off to junior tight end Colton Swain, who passed it deep to 6-foot-5 junior wide receiver Parker Dumas for a 28-yard gain that put Mount Si nearly on the goal line. The team was unable to convert the touchdown, but sopho-more Jake Ethington kicked a 28-yard field goal for the Wildcats’ first points of the season.

The two teams traded possessions over the sec-ond quarter. Mount Si stopped every drive, and even prevented a trick play. Woodinville was near the end zone on fourth down. It set up a

field goal kick, but it was a fake.

However, the Wildcat defense was ready and tackled the Falcons’ run-ner as he tried to sneak in a touchdown.

In the final moments of the first half, Mount Si kicked in another field goal putting it up 6-0 going into the halftime break.

Both teams remained scoreless for the third quarter, but the final blows to the Falcons came on a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. Both were passes, one to junior wide receiver Reid Lutz with 10:35 left in the game. The other touchdown pass was to sophomore running back Cory Cotto with 2:50 left in the final quarter.

Despite the effort from the Woodinville team and the crowd of Falcon fans in the visitor sec-tion, Mount Si crushed the Falcons in Wildcat stadium.

Senior quarterback Jonathan “Jo Jo” Hillel had a tremendous debut game. He threw 17/29 for

a total of 182 yards and a completion rate of 58 percent. Hillel threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, and had one interception.

“He did a great job. We’re pleased,” Kinnune said. “He showed great poise. I’m very, very pleased with his perfor-mance.”

Kinnune said he was happy with the way Hillel managed the team and the clock. His leadership improved over the course of the game.

“He’s a gamer and he’s very good,” he said.

The receivers had a strong game as well. Dumas had 65 yards on four catches. Swain totaled 50 yards on six catches. Junior Caleb Mitchell caught two passes for a combined 36 yards.

Junior running back Mark Farmer tallied 64 yards in 19 carries, Cotto racked up 55 on eight car-ries and Hillel rushed 31 yards.

Overall, the coaches said, it was a great debut performance for the

Wildcats and an exciting start to the new season. The defense held, giving up nothing. The Mount Si offense solidified more every minute they stayed on the field.

“It was one of those games where talent wasn’t going to win it, coaching wasn’t going to win it. The toughest players on the field were going to win it and our kids were tough tonight,” Kinnune said. “My hat is off to my players.”

By Sam Kenyon Three returning veteran

seniors, including the top scorer in the league last year, will lead the Mount Si girls soccer team as they head into their first season in the KingCo 4A.

“It’s going to be a com-petitive league, let’s just say that,” said Darren Brown, the head coach for the past 12 seasons. “It’s going to be a challenge, but we’re looking forward to it.”

Senior forward/cap-tain Karli White came to Mount Si last season from Cedarcrest, but was unable to play the first eight games of the year due to Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association rules. She ended up with 11 goals in the remaining season, the most in KingCo 3A. She will be the tip of the spear for the Wildcats this year.

“She’s tremendous,” Brown said. “She’s just very dangerous on and off the ball. She’s a weapon.”

White has already been awarded a full-ride schol-arship to the University of Arkansas.

“She’s a threat. Everyone knows who she is,” Brown said. “It is worth the ticket of admis-sion just to watch this kid.”

The team will rely on the leadership of its two other senior captains, defender Claire Johnson and midfielder KK Wallace.

Last season, the team missed the playoffs with a 7-7-2 record. Despite the harsher competition in 4A, Brown said he thinks the strong returning corps of players can make the team improve.

“We have a strong corps of really hard work-ers,” he said. “I expect us to do better.”

In addition to the cap-tains, there are a couple of younger players that Brown thinks will drive the team to success.

Goalkeeper Nellie Joselyn is a junior this year, and last season she made the first team all KingCo.

“She’s outstanding,” Brown said.

Brown also expects big play from junior defend-

er Kelsey Willard and sophomore defender Bella DiDomenico.

Unfortunately, the team will have to do without its freshmen phenom from last year, Natalie Weidenbach, who was named to the second team all KingCo last season. Over the summer, she tore an ACL.

Brown expects the team’s playing style will adjust slightly from last season, but not too much. He said he believes it will be more possession-ori-ented this year. Entering the 4A league will be a challenge. Brown said he expects the league’s top teams to be Issaquah and Skyline.

Brown said he is pleased with the players on his team. He described them as hard working. Making the playoffs after missing them last season won’t be easy, especially in 4A. But with a star forward in White, an all-league goalkeeper, and a hard-working veteran corps, the Wildcats are poised to attack their new league.

“I think it’s going to be an exciting year,” Brown said. “It’s a good group of girls.”

Mount Si blanks Bothell, 8-0

KK Wallace scored a hat trick as the Wildcats defeated Bothell, 8-0, in a friendly game Sept. 5 at Bothell High School. The non-conference matches continue this week as Mount Si plays Kamiak High School on Sept. 11 and Juanita on Sept. 13.

The Wildcats girls soccer team begins games that count in the KingCo 4A Conference on Sept. 30, when they meet Sammamish’s Skyline High School.

Other scorers in the Bothell game were Claire Johnson, Karli White, Mackenzie Popp, Mackenzie Hutchinson and June Livingston.

Ambassador for the breed!! 9 month old baby Bizzy was intercepted outside a high kill shelter and we could not be luckier. He is one special pup with a sweet and kind soul. He is not only SO handsome and smart but will learn quickly! We have no background on him so we will require proof of registration to a puppy training class prior to his adoption. We want the best for him and an owner who is in sync with how to best communicate with him. Also, you must own your home...no renters. Bizzy has a wonderful disposition but we are requiring that families interested in adopting Bizzy have children over the age of 5. He is a big baby at 60 lbs with big feet to still grow into!

Please contact Love A Mutt Pet Rescue to learn more about Bizzy and to set up a meeting. Please email lynn.dillon65@gmail.com. You can also see other wonderful, available dogs on our website www.loveamutt.org.

We also happily accept donations to care for our pups! They thank you!
