Shattered calmBY SETH TRUSCOTT AND CAROL LADWIG

First they felt it. Then they heard it. Many thought it was an earth-quake.

The blast that woke North Bend in the predawn darkness on Friday, April 25, was centered on the former Pizza Place restaurant at 540 East North Bend Way, shuttered for years but recently under remodel con-struction.

Nothing of the restaurant was left after a huge explosion tore the building to bits, hurling beams and pipes dozens of feet in all directions, and coating much of North Bend, for a quarter of a mile or more in all directions, with bits of insulation and debris. Concussive forces from the blast twisted and shifted nearby buildings and shattered windows.

Yet injuries were minor. One person was reported hurt—a resident of Red Oak suffered a hand laceration from flying glass.

Railway Museum plans a steam-powered revival;

locals can help fund itBY SETH TRUSCOTT

Editor

Steam power could make a big comeback on the Valley’s rail-roads. And locals can help.

Fundraising for a visit by a vintage steam locomotive to Railroad Days, the Northwest

Railway Museum in Snoqualmie is one beneficiary of the Seattle Foundation's Give Big benefit, held for a single day, Tuesday, May 6. The museum hopes to raise $12,000 to bring a 1909 steam train to town.

“This being the 125th anni-versary, it’s a perfect time to be bringing a steam locomotive,” said Peggy Barchi, the museum's marketing and events manager.

Steam’s big comeback

SEE STEAM, 8Carol Ladwig/Staff Photo

A blue-green Ford F150 pickup, pulled from the Snoqualmie River Monday, April 28, was unoccupied, but the rear window was smashed. The truck is registered to a Snoqualmie Valley resident.

Lost truck pulled from river Monday afternoonA growing crowd in Fall City watched Monday afternoon, April 28, as a truck, reported missing since just after mid-night, was pulled out of the Snoqualmie River. No one was found inside the blue-green Ford F150, but the rear window of the cab was broken out, so “We don’t know for sure if there was anyone the the truck or not,” said Fall City Fire Chief Chris Connor. The truck was registered to a Snoqualmie Valley resident, but police have been unable to contact him. No vehicles or people had been reported missing as of Monday afternoon, and as of Tuesday morning, searches downstream of the truck had not turned up any survi-vors or bodies. Two crews from Fall City Fire District participated in the search, which began at 12:03 a.m. Monday, when a wit-ness reported seeing a truck slide into the river. Connor said he and five Fall City crewmen, plus staff from the Snoqualmie and Duvall Fire Departments, Eastside Fire & Rescue and the King County Sheriff’s Office, including a diver, spent about three hours searching the river in boats before calling off the search. There were many reasons for the decision, Connor said, including “The flow of the river, the darkness, and the unlikelihood of finding anyone alive.” A shoreline search resumed at daylight with a full Fall City crew, plus Duvall, EF&R and KCSO. A firefighter was posted at the top of an extended ladder for a visual search for the truck, reported to be a full-sized pickup truck, possibly parked on the riverside for a full day pre-vious, and possibly dark green. “Which is the same color as the water, unfortunately,” Connor said.Boats from Fall City, Duvall, and KCSO were back in the water by 10 a.m. Using sonar, they closed in on the location of the truck, about 300 feet downstream from where a witness reported seeing a truck slide into the water. A wide track of crushed blackberry vines marked the truck’s rolling path into the river, which appeared to be slow. Another diver fought the dangerous current Monday afternoon to help locate and retrieve the truck, which was located mid-afternoon Monday. KCSO will take over the investigation of the incident.

Onlookers watched and took photos as officials pulled a missing truck from the Snoqualmie River, around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon.

‘Getting beyond it’

Big draw for North Bend’s Blues WalkSTORY AND PHOTOS BY SETH TRUSCOTT

The blues is about dealing with adversity.So, in a city that made the national news

a day prior due to a massive, destructive explosion, crowds lined up to let off steam and feel the groove. The second annual North Bend Blues Walk drew hundreds more listeners than last year.

“I was thinking (the explosion) might scare people off, but it doesn’t seem to have,” said Michael Wilde, a harmonica player and vocalist who performed with Son Jack, Jr., inside the intimate walls of Emerald City Smoothie. “We are rugged people,” added Wilde. The Blues “is about getting over it.”

“News coverage gave it a plug,” said North Bend Theatre owner Cindy Walker, who had the largest stage. “It’s a silver lining.”

“There’s got to be some people who decided to come out just because it’s mentioned on the news,” said Blues Walk and Boxley’s founder Danny Kolke. “We were expecting a big crowd. I’d like to think they would come here anyway.”

Last year’s Blues Walk drew about 1,100 people; this year, more than 1,300 showed. Crowds, many dressed in black event T-shirts, strolled North Bend Way’s side-walks, queueing up for their next venues.

With Boxley’s standing room only, Kolke advised music fans to head down the block for other venues. Smaller venues like George’s Bakery had an intimate feel, with musicians playing to small rooms of diners. Couples danced in the aisles at Twede’s Cafe.

“It’s a great listening room,” Wilde said of the smoothie shop.

With Son Jack, he plays music ranging from the 1920s through English blues rock. He loves this music because, unlike classic rock, “this is a lot more liberating.”

“Playing the blues, you’re not doing your job if you’re playing the song the same each time,” Wilde said. “It needs to be different.”

And, it’s all ages—“you can be 80 or 90 years old, still be doing this, and not look foolish,” he said.

“It’s all about the groove. Back in the day, when these guys were playing in juke joints, they’d get the place all fired up!”

The Blues Walk benefits the Boxley’s Music Foundation, which promotes local music and education, and also now owns the Boxley’s Place jazz club.

Boxley’s Music Foundation’s next major event is the North Bend Jazz Walk on Saturday, Sept. 13.

What was the last book you read, and what format was it?

Thursday, April 27, 1989• Snoqualmie Parks Department head Chuck Smith completed a trail at the Kimball Creek inlet on the Snoqualmie River. The nature trail includes the modern footbridge, and pro-ceeds under State Route 202 to a picnic area on the river.• A bill that would have preserved 1,100 acres on Mount Si failed in the legislature last week, due in part to a big lobbying effort opposed to the 0.06 percent real estate excise tax, which agents said would hurt sales.

Thursday, April 30, 1964• The drainage problems that have plagued residents near Mount Si High School for years are closer to resolution. The mayor and town council declared the town would pay for installation if affected residents buy the pipe.

Connect and support business,

city in wake of rare disaster

Businesses, city of North Bend need our help in wake of explosion

Since becoming publisher of the Valley Record in October 2008, one characteristic I have quickly and regularly noticed about the

people of the Valley is their generosity and their resilience.

Whether it was the 2009 flood, the Great Recession, miscellaneous ice and snow storms and days-long power outages, or even the Taylor Bridge Fire over the pass in Cle Elum and Ellensburg, the Valley has always come together to generously sup-port others affected by events.

After the terrible explosion that tore a hole through downtown North Bend early Friday morn-ing, we are truly grateful that no one was killed or seriously hurt. However, several businesses were flattened, destroyed or seriously damaged. Nearby homes and apartments were also badly damaged, but hopefully can be repaired soon.

We as a Valley and we as a business community need to come together to help not only these indi-vidual businesses and the people who worked there whose livelihoods were affected, but also the city of North Bend in its efforts to heal and spring back from this terrible and unfortunate accident.

Here at the Valley Record, and at my other local publications in Issaquah, Sammamish, Bellevue and Mercer Island, we’ll be using our print, Web and social media outlets to keep the Valley and the rest of the Eastside informed about this unfortunate event.

We’ll also be encouraging partnerships with our friends across the street at the Snoqualmie Valley Chamber of Commerce and with other local Eastside Chambers and business groups as to how they can use their resources and membership to lend a hand to those businesses that were ruined or damaged.

But most important, we’ll be letting you know how each and every one of us can help North Bend and its affected businesses and residents pick them-selves up again.

Toot your horn to help bring a Valley original

I love the sound of the train’s horn.There’s something so evocative about it—the

announcement of a journey about to begin, or of the arrival of newcomers and merrymakers to our

downtowns in North Bend and Snoqualmie. Maybe it takes me back to my roots in the Lewis-Clark Valley, where freight trains ran before the era changed. Or the journey I took back to my family’s roots in Montana aboard a red-eye AmTrak in Spokane. I’m sure I’m not alone in getting a deep sense of nostalgia when-

ever I hear that whistle, which is one the truly clas-sic sounds of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley.

Locals have the chance to make a new train siren sound in the Valley this summer, through one of the Northwest Railway Museum’s annual fundraisers.

Red Oak's family-oriented

Once again, the Snoqualmie-based museum is taking part in the Seattle Foundation’s single-day GiveBIG event, which asks people to give to deserving charities over a one-day period. The museum has entered contests like this in the past to raise money for its Chapel Car restoration project, and hosted gala parties for its efforts. However, this is the first time a museum fundraiser has helped a special event for Railroad Days—money raised this year brings a steam locomotive to the festival, for the first time. It’s a possible prelude to the museum getting its own steam train for the collection.

The museum doesn’t just curate old machines, they tell the stories of how we got here. If you don’t know where you’re from, you don’t know where you’re going. And at the same time, the museum is helping us get there.

Since 1957, the train museum has drawn more than 127,000 visitors to see and ride its train collection. After the Falls, it is the key tourist draw in the Valley, and its programs probably bring more people to the downtown’s streets and business than the Falls does. All those cars and families mean a lot to the health and vibrancy of our downtown, which to date boasts more empty storefronts than I’d like to see. With the museum one of the big-gest, if you’ll pardon the puns, economic locomotives of Snoqualmie, the one-day GiveBig promotion is a worthy cause.

Why should we help?First, Snoqualmie has something to prove with its local festivals. North Bend has really

wowed in recent years with its new Block Party, the Adventure Sport Festivals, and music events like last week’s Blues Walk for the Boxley’s Music Fund.

Snoqualmie is, for the moment, the bigger town, yet for all its strengths, it needs to do something to enliven downtown. Railroad Days, held this August 15-17, is the city’s main festival, yet it doesn’t draw the masses in the same way North Bend’s Block Party and Festival at Mount Si do. A few years ago, the Railway Museum took on the role of main organizer, with the committee, and, through its historical events and rides, is really stepping up to integrate its history-preserving, tourist-attracting role into the downtown festival.

The GiveBIG promotion, bringing a vintage steam train all the way from California to the depot, is the latest manifestation of that effort. Your donation to that effort is a way of

telling the museum and Snoqualmie that you support what they do and want to see a vibrant historic downtown and community.

When you hear that steam train blast, that’s not only the sound of history come to life—it’s the sound of a commu-nity that cares about history and its future.

The Railway Museum has posted about the event and the SCPC No. 2 engine on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/trainmuseum.

You can donate directly at www.seattlefoundation.org/npos/Pages/NorthwestRailwayMuseum.aspx.

‘Share Your Thoughts’ on Valley SchoolsThe Snoqualmie Valley School District is launching a new virtual community engagement process called Thoughtstream. Parents, students, staff and community members are encouraged to join the conversation and ‘Share Your Thoughts’ regarding the schools and district. Users can click on a link, and will be asked for feedback on what the schools are doing well, how they can improve, and what might be missing. This first “Thoughts” step in this process is open for input from April 29 through May 12. Parents and staff will receive an e-mail invitation from schools this week. Anyone else who wants to participate (students, community members, local businesses, etc.) is invited to do so via the Snoqualmie Valley School District web-site, www.svsd410.org. Click the ‘Share Your Thoughts’ link to register. Enter your e-mail address and select a specific school or the district community, then answer the four open-ended questions. A few weeks later, participants can review the comments that were submitted and prioritize those that are most impor-tant. Results will be sorted into major themes that reflect perceptions and priorities.“By supporting this new process that promotes two-way communication on important topics, we hope to gain valuable insight that will help inform our annual school improvement planning and the upcoming renewal process of the district’s strategic plan,” said Superintendent Joel Aune. “Join us in our commitment to

continuous improvement, and share your thoughts and suggestions regarding educational opportunities for all Snoqualmie Valley children.” To participate, go to the district website at www.svsd410.org and click ‘Share Your Thoughts.’ The survey will close at 11 p.m. on Monday, May 12.

Bus cuts coming for the ValleyThe Valley will be down to one active Metro bus route this fall, under planned service reductions in the wake of April’s failed ballot measure at the polls. Following the defeat of Proposition 1 on April 22, King County Metro Transit will move forward with its pro-posal to cut about 16 percent of transit service, a step required to reduce spending and balance its budget in light of the expiration of the temporary Congestion Reduction Charge and the lack of replacement revenues.Route 209 through Preston, Fall City, downtown Snoqualmie and North Bend will be deleted in September. So will Route 215 through North Bend. Route 208, connecting Snoqualmie Ridge, downtown Snoqualmie, North Bend to Issaquah, will be reduced from hourly to two-hour trips, starting in September. The connection from Issaquah to Seattle, Route 214, is being reduced from 13 peak afternoon and morning trips to seven and eight, respectively.

Emergency responders say timing was critical to the lack of injuries—practically no one was on the street at the time of the explosion.

“If this were later in the morning, this could have been a very different situation,” said Josie Williams, spokeswoman for Eastside Fire and Rescue.

“Look at the nails popping out of everything!” she said. “We’re really fortunate that there weren’t any people out and about.”

Puppy sucked out the windowSnoqualmie-North Bend Police Chief Steve McCulley is

grateful for both small and large favors, following the early morning explosion. Although the blast shook him out of bed, literally, and covered the city with a pile of debris from beyond the roundabout “all the way to the Pour House,” five blocks to the northwest, it could have been a lot worse.

“The original report I heard was that the 76 station had blown up,” McCulley said.

It hadn’t, but the neighboring building had, with an earthquake-like rumble, followed by the bright light of the fire, and then by a power outage affecting 1,500 homes. McCulley, who lived nearby, arrived at the gas station before the power had gone out, and helped the shaken store clerk on duty to shut off the gas pumps.

The clerk had been alone in the store when she saw the

explosion, McCulley said. She then ran out of the station and across the street, and called 911. She was uninjured, and despite the shattered windows and flying debris throughout the city, no major injuries have been reported.

“We’re lucky this happened at 4 a.m.,” said McCulley. With the exception of the buildings closest to the blast,

most buildings are not badly damaged, either. “Most of what we’ve seen is (broken) windows and stress

fractures,” said City Administrator Londi Lindell, She agreed that the city was lucky, especially the resi-

dents of the Mount Si Court apartments.“The blast blew the windows out,” she said, not inward.

The force of the explosion may have travelled in through the chimneys of the building, and then out through the windows, leaving the sleeping residents unharmed by fly-ing glass.

Lindell said city officials had heard from one man, who’d been sleeping with a puppy in his arms, and only awoke when he was thrown from his bed, in time to see his puppy sucked out the broken window. He quickly recovered the animal, which was fine, she said.

Rude awakening“It almost knocked me out of bed,” said Gabby Barragan,

a ground floor resident of Mount Si Court, where she’s lived for two years. “It was just a huge bang. We didn’t know what was going on.”

Barragan and dozens of other residents of Mount Si Court apartments, directly across North Bend Way from

ground zero, were rudely awakened to find that their windows, and patio doors, were shattered and ripped off their hinges by concussive force.

“We got the dogs, everyone got dressed, and we ran outside,” Barragan said. “The alarms were going off. Nobody wanted to stay inside.”

“It’s weird how it affected everything,” said resident Brian Noyes, noting how some windows didn’t break.

“We got it the worst,” figured Tony Marchetti, who, with Kristin Sherron, lives on the second floor of Mount Si Court, on the face closest to the exploded building.

“It’s a mess,” said Sherron. “Everything out of the cup-boards is on the floor. There’s gaps between the ceiling and the walls.” A structural engineer, they were told, must now assess the damage. With the windows covered by sheets, they prepared to leave for now.

“Luckily my parents live in town,” Sherron said. “We can crash there.”

Salon burnsFire followed the explosion. The neighboring Last Cut

East hair salon was fully engulfed in flames when firefight-ers arrived.

“There was nothing left,” Williams said. “They were just trying to protect the exposures.”

Eighty firefighters from 18 different departments arrived to help fight the blaze and deal with the aftermath. Firefighters searched twice, but couldn’t find anyone in the destroyed buildings.

EXPLOSION FROM 1

Top, at Les Schwab Tire, the concussion mangled the bay doors and and blew out most of the store’s plate glass windows.Above, The accident drew many people to the scene, viewing the damage and response.Below, The force of the blast flung this piece of a wall from the obliterated pizza parlor some 80 feet; it landed in a nearby home’s front yard.

Meanwhile, Puget Sound Energy capped the natural gas line and turned off the power to the neighborhood.

Next to what was left of the Pizza Place, the Point Dance Center building was shat-tered. The far wall was standing, but with a pronounced lean.

One building down from the rubble, five employees of the North Bend Les Schwab stood in the parking lot as inspectors arrived to take stock of the interior. The bay doors facing the explosion had been wrenched and twisted, plate glass windows shattered. To get inside, one staffer had to yank hard for a few moments to get the front door to open—the door frame marked “pull” had bent, and it no longer “pulled.”

“They’re lucky nobody was working in there,” Williams said.The destruction drew many sightseers to North Bend Way. Kept back by police tape,

they gingerly made their way along the sidewalk, which was itself dangerous, crusted with broken glass. Wood beams with long nails lay where they had fallen, dozens of yards from ground zero.

“Be careful, it’s all over,” a passersby said as she walked along the pavement. “Those are from that building.”

The scope of the damage was bigger than anything EF&R has faced, to date.“I was talking to a lot of our firefighters,” said Williams. “They’ve never seen any-

thing this huge.”

Recovery begins at ground zeroAfter the salon fire was put out, the King County Fire Investigation unit arrived to

survey and measure the scene. Clean-up began around noon, and North Bend Way was partially opened to traffic by 2 p.m.

Torguson Park was closed due to dangerous conditions, but school at neighboring North Bend Elementary started on time, even though, with the city’s sole east-west arterial cut, busses had to navigate Interstate 90.

Opening North Bend Way to traffic was the city’s number-one priority, after public safety, said Lindell.

“We have determined that there are no buildings that are so structurally unsafe that they have to evacuate,” she told the Record. A building official made the rounds, starting with Red Oak, then moving to the QFC, Mount Si Court, and surrounding businesses.

Responsibility for clean-up rests with the city, said Lindell.“Once they clear us to start cleaning, we’ll start,” she said.“We weren’t allowed to clean,” Lindell said—investigators needed to do aerial surveys

to understand the blast. Until the survey is completed, they want the debris field left alone.

“They shouldn’t be picking them up right now,” Lindell said Friday morning.

Power restored, clean-up beginsMost of the 1,500 people who lost electrical power after the explosion had it restored

by 9 a.m., and by an early-afternoon press conference with PSE spokesperson Andy Wappler, fewer than 100 people were still without power. “We just got clearance to bring our crews in, so we hope to get the rest up by tonight,” Wappler added.

The nearby Red Oak assisted living home had many broken windows from the blast, but no serious injuries among the 47 residents, and only two minor ones. Wappler said PSE prioritized restoring power to the now-drafty facility, and were able to do it by using insulators that stopped electricity from transmitting up the line past Red Oak. Power was restored to the facility shortly after noon, roughly the same time the North Bend Way roundabout was re-opened and traffic was allowed down North Bend way as far as Orchard.

PSE was onsite since shortly after the blast, to cut off the gas flow. Once the bulk of the fire was out, they also checked the area for residual gas concentrations but found none, clearing it so the investigation could begin. Since then, Wappler said, PSE staff had largely been focused on helping investigators with information about gas lines in the area, and the use history of the affected properties.

“We don’t have an official sense right now as to the cause,” he said, adding that PSE hadn’t done any recent work in the area, and hadn’t been called to shut off gas service to any properties. All three properties had meters, and were fed by a low-pressure main, either 6 or 8 inches in diameter, Wappler said.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office Fire and Arson Investigation Unit is the lead in the investigation, and inspector Craig Mullen, on scene since about 5 a.m., didn’t offer any working theory about the cause. “We don’t form a conclusion unit the end of our investigation,” he said. Also, “We don’t close the case until all our forensics are in.”

Mullen couldn’t estimate how long his investigation might take, since every incident is different. His crew will be moving things around and sifting through the debris for as long as they need to, he said. “We’re here till we’re done.”

Awaiting word for what’s next, Barragan and other Mount Si Court residents began preparations to board up their damaged doors.

“It’ll be interesting for the next few days,” said Noyes. Barragan looked on the bright side: “It could be raining.”“It could have been 100 times worse,” said Mount Si Court resident Sarah Fowler,

who was preparing to board up her destroyed front windows. “We’ve had a lot of people ask if we’re OK, do we need anything. I think everyone is

coming tother. I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people helping out.”“Luckily, no one’s really hurt. It’s just stuff. We can replace it,” said Fowler.

What to do now?Lindell encouraged anyone worried about potential damage to their home to call

City Hall, (425-888-1211) and request a building inspection. Both the North Bend and Snoqualmie building inspectors are examining buildings now. She added that if residents see damage that is concerning, they should leave the building, get to a safe distance, and call 911.

“It really brings some of the history in,” Barchi said. It was July 4, 1889, when trains first came to the Valley. With tourism emerging as an

affordable pasttime in the late 19th century, summer train trips to Snoqualmie Falls became popular for the residents of Seattle. The inaugural run of the excursion line, by the M.E. Church Society over the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway Company lines, sparked many more visits.

It was only 20 years later that the train to visit the Valley, Santa Cruz Portland Cement No. 2 was built, in 1909, by H.K. Porter, Inc. Affectionately known as “The Chiggen,” this locomotive served as a billboard for a fried chicken restaurant for more than 30 years before rebuilding began. It is privately owned today.

The engine will be brought to the Valley during Railroad Days, August 15 to 17, on a special oversize-load truck. It's one of many new events that the museum is adding to the summer festival.

“This is a really big deal,” Barchi told the Record. Steam locomotives are very rare, she said. Only a handful still operate in North America.

“And, this allows the museum to bring steam history to life and work toward the goal of bringing steam to the museum on a full-time basis, fulfill its educational mission and help drive tourism in the Snoqualmie Valley, just as those early trains 125 years ago did.

“Everyone will see how cool it could be for the museum to get its own steam locomotive,” she added.

The fourth annual GiveBIG is a one-day, online charitable giving event that helps local nonprofits. Each donation made between midnight and midnight will be matched by the foundation.

You can learn more about the museum and donate at http://www.seattlefoundation.org/npos/Pages/NorthwestRailwayMuseum.aspx.

The Railway museum has posted about the event and the SCPC No. 2 engine on its web-site and on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/trainmuseum.

Four adults, four girls and two well-behaved dogs, all from North Bend, trekked to the 500-year-old Big Cedar on Meadowbrook Farm last Saturday, April 26. The children were good sports and did not wimp out, reports trek host Dave Battey. There has been some winter weather damage to the trail, but some assistance by volunteers with chainsaws should rectify things, states Battey.Learn more about Meadowbrook activities at www.meadowbrookfarmpreserve.org.

BY CAROL LADWIGStaff Reporter

Forget what you think you know about cats getting stuck in trees, and just ask the experts. They’re the guys in climbing gear, not uniforms,

and here in the Snoqualmie Valley, they’re probably named Shaun and Tom.

More formally, Shaun Sears of North Bend and Tom Otto of Olympia, brothers-in-law for all practical purposes, are Canopy Cat Rescue and Conservation, LLC, (www.canopycatrescue.com) a non-profit organization devoted to rescuing cats stuck in trees. They are also, a little to their own surprise, authorities on the subject.

“I guess we are becoming cat experts,” Sears admitted. “We learn a little bit more about cat behavior every time we go on a call.”

The two have rescued hundreds of cats in the past few years, from trees mainly, but also from utility poles and other high places. Since they’re both professional climbers — Sears has been a mountain guide at Mount Rainer for 11 years, and Otto is an arborist for Olympia and other government agencies and both have built osprey nesting platforms and installed Web cams for Watchable Wildlife — they have the gear, ability, and know-how to do it more safely than the people you might think to call first.

They also have the interest. Both have their own cats (dogs, too), and they hate to turn down any call for help, because there aren’t many options for cat owners in need.

“Most fire departments won’t do rescues,” said Sears, nor will most animal control departments, which usually refer people to arborists on such web-sites as Cat in a Tree (www2.catinatreerescue.com) or MEOW Cat Rescue (www.meowcatrescue.org/resourc-es/articles/18/cat-stuck-in-a-tree). Sears and Otto are listed there, too.

As they see it, any call they turn down is a cat stuck in a tree somewhere. A vivid, but awful, illustration of that for both of them was the story of a cat stranded for

15 days, more than 100 feet up a tree. His owner, suffering from a medical condition, had called other nearby agencies for help, but she couldn’t afford their fees.

“The cat was forced to stay in a tree (because) people wouldn’t work with her,” said Sears, frustrated. That was before a friend returned from a trip and told her about Canopy Cat.

Otto, who climbed up the tree to rescue the weakened cat, was rewarded with a view of the espe-cially touching cat-owner reunion. “You could tell it wasn’t about her neglecting the cat,” he said. Most res-cues are like that, “People are crying and it’s very emotional.”

Canopy Cat used to charge a flat fee for rescues, but it’s funded entire-ly by donations these days. When asked how they can afford to do the

job sometimes, Otto responds, “How can we afford not to?”

“We don’t want to make money off other people’s misfortunes,” added Sears.

Another question they get a lot of, Otto said, is along the lines of “why bother?” Most people believe a cat will come down when it gets hungry enough, but that’s not true in his experience.

“They don’t seem to care about eating,” he said.

The advice offered by most people and agencies, to put food at the base of the tree and call to them, is generally ineffective, for another reason, as well.

“Cats are near-sighted,” says Sears, and Otto confirms that often, a treed cat will ignore them as they climb up, responding to them only when they’re within a few feet. “They don’t quite pick us up, until we get within a certain range,” he said.

Poor vision, plus whatever sent them up the tree in the first place — usually a threat from a dog or raccoon or coyote — will keep a terrified cat in a tree no matter how hungry it is.

“Odds are, not only can they not see to the base of the tree, but they’re also assuming that whatever chased them up the tree… is still at the base of the tree,” Sears said. “I liken it to being stuck on a rock face the other day, and smelling pizza

down below… They can’t see, and some-body is shouting at them, taunting them with food.”

Conventional wisdom also states that cats can get down by themselves, but there are limits to that.

“We’ve had a vet tell us cats are really good at going up,” said Sears. And scared cats will continue to go up, even away from their rescuers, until they feel safe. Coming back down is a very literal undertaking, though. Cats’ claws are ideal for travel in one direction, the one that keeps their heads up, so descending means they have to go backwards down the tree, until they can see the ground, when they usually jump, Otto said.

Cats will sometimes jump out of Sears’ or Ottos’ arms when they can see the ground, too, but often, the cats are content to stay with their rescuers until they see a familiar face. By the time they have the cats, our heroes have usually invested quite a bit of time in learning about the animals from the owners, and in gaining the cats’ trust.

If the cat is feral or not known by the callers — about one in five calls is from someone who just heard a cat screaming for help — Sears and Otto will have a net ready to hold it, and sometimes even to catch it if

it decides to jump, for the ride down. Otherwise, “After a few pets, they’ll

relax,” said Sears. “Then we just pick them up like a normal cat, or scruff them. We might put them in the bag if they’re fight-ing, or just descend with them in our arms.”

“We set things up beforehand to operate one-handed,” added Otto.

After re-uniting the cat with its people, the guys typically pack up all their ropes and gear, then head home to post the picture and information about their latest rescue to their Facebook site. For the kit-ties who don’t have homes, they also post a plea for potential new owners, so far with 100 percent success.

On beautiful, sunny days, climbing trees for a living sounds like a pretty good gig, and they both agree it is. They also like it on the rainy, blustery days and nights, which are often when cats need rescuing, because they’d rather be up in a tree then, than to have someone inexperienced try their own rescue.

“The most scared I’ve ever been has been up on a ladder,” Sears said.

So, trust the experts, and call them at (253) 324-0524, or (360) 239-8982, sooner than later for your stranded kitty. Everyone will be happier for it.

Dos and don’ts for cats in treesDo call an expert. Don’t call the fire department or police; they typically won’t commit resources that might be needed in a bigger emergency.Do call soon. Cats can survive several days, but the longer you wait, the weaker they get, increasing their risk of falling. Don’t spray the cat with water to force it down; it will only climb higher. Do keep your cats’ claws trimmed. If your cat spends any time out-doors, don’t declaw it. Do give your cat safe place to retreat from dogs and other threats, without having to climb a tree.Don’t give up on finding a lost cat. Do look up, because it might be in a tree.

Fast feet to hit the Valley in

Cinco de Mayo races

The Cinco de Mayo half-marathon, 8-K footrace and

children’s mile run returns to Snoqualmie on Saturday, May

3. All events start and end at Mount Si High School.

The entry fee for the half marathon is $65, which

includes a shirt and prize for all finishers. The entry fee for

the 8k is $28 which includes a shirt. The kid’s mile costs

$15 and includes a shirt and finisher’s medal.

“The half marathon is the perfect test for those not

quite ready to tackle a full marathon but who are looking

to upgrade from the shorter 5k and 10k races,” said Sean Sundwall, race director and

founder of Run Snoqualmie. “This course was designed to offer runners a beautiful tour

of our great Valley without all the hills and other distractions

associated with the bigger, urban events.”

Sharing the focus

All-for-one Wildcat fastpitch team battling for titleBY SETH TRUSCOTT

Editor

In their after-game huddle, Mount Si’s fastpitch team gave out praise in the form of claps.

Seniors who held it down in last week’s road match against the Sammamish Totems earned double-claps. So did younger players who showed fire in defensive plays.

The Mount Si team battling for a league first place rank doesn’t really have any superstars—there’s no tell-ing in any given game who will surprise or make a big difference. That’s part of its key to success.

Mount Si won 14-3 on Wednesday, April 23, on the road with Sammamish.

Claire Lis started on the mound, and shut out the Totems for five innings. Bayley Barnett finished the game.

“I was able to get my focus from everyone,” said Lis. “That definitely helped. Our starting players really picked me up and were able to make the outs.

“I was really proud of the hitting—we really executed there,” she added. “Our goal was to come out better than last time. We wanted to come out and play like we’ve been playing.”

“Today, the middle of our order were the girls who came through,” said coach Larry White. “It’s really inter-esting—each day, it’s somebody different that’s really coming through with the big hits that get us going.”

While Britney Stevens and Celine Fowler are the pri-mary drivers at bat, “Kara Link has been on fire,” White said. “Jenny Carroll has been hitting everything. The ball must look like a watermelon to her!”

Against the Totems, Carroll and second basewoman Link added several hits.

Up by nine, White put in younger players late in the contest.

“I try to get every-body into the game,” he said. “They play well. They deserve to play.”

Sophomore Jamie Trotto came up to the plate in the late game and whacked a double.

“It felt good,” said Trotto.

“She hits every game,” Lis said. “She doesn’t disappoint.”

Teammates praised sophomore pinch run-ner Nellie Joselyn for a skillful catch of a spinning ground ball that ended the final inning.

“Nellie is one of our faves,” White said. “She’s got a lot of energy, whether she’s playing or not. She brings a lot of enthusiasm to our team.”

The Cascade G97 Select soccer team, composed of players from the Snoqualmie Valley, finished in first place in the Puget Sound Premier League with a record of nine wins, two ties, and one loss. The girls have conceded only three goals all season. Pictured are, from left, top row: Coach Chris Simonson, Lauren Rutherford, Nellie Joselyn, Megan Ellis, Fiona Cromarty, Anna Butoryak, Allie Beck, Abby Duffy; second row: Brianna Ensley, Sarah Edwards, Regan Simonson; Bottom row: Morgan Dufault, Abby Gunning, Curstyn Williamson, Kira Denny, Dayna Boord, Makayla Turpin. (Not pictured: Sarah Kirschner and Sarah Miller).

Emily Webb caught from Lis for most of the game; Annie Hiebert came in as catcher in the final inning. Hiebert is showing a lot of confidence.

Wildcat fastpitch has no one top pitcher: “We have three very good ones, and we use all three”—Paige Weatherbee, Bailey Barnett and Lis, White said.

Mount Si fell to Lake Washington on Friday, April 25, 4-1. They beat Bellevue, 10-0, on Monday.

The Wildcats next host Mercer Island on Wednesday, April 30, then travel to Liberty on Friday, May 2. Game times are at 4:30 p.m.

Theodore CraneTheodore Howard Crane of

North Bend died on April 15, 2014 of complications from a stroke, at Evergreen Hospice Center in Kirkland. His loving family was around him.

Ted was born in Pasadena, California to Dorothy Elkins Crane and Theodore Herbert Crane, in 1938. He grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Iowa Wesleyan College and graduated

from the University of Redlands, California, in 1960. After graduation Ted began his career as an elementary school teacher.

In 1962 Ted joined the Peace Corps and went to Liberia, West Africa, teaching children in a multi-age classroom. After time in the Peace Corps, Ted served in the U.S. Army for two years. While working for the YMCA during a summer, Ted visited Washington State. He loved its natural beauty, moved to Washington, and taught in Sedro Woolley and Bellevue. Later, he taught at Mountain View School in Snoqualmie.

Ted’s calling was to teach, and he was a gifted and creative teacher with a deep love for children. He empathized with and never gave up on struggling students. He helped children who were having difficulties with reading by using unique strategies to help them “unlock the codes.” It made him happy to help each student discover his or her individual strengths, and Ted believed that each one had special gifts. For many students, he was a favorite teacher because he made learning fun. And he had fun teaching them.

In 1970, Ted met Abbie McClintock at a family reunion in Iowa. It was love at first sight, and despite the distance between them (she resided in Ohio), they were married in less than a year. They lived first on a 14-acre farm near Snoqualmie. There they raised their three sons. Together Ted and Abbie started a publication for antique collectors, which became the Mapbook of Antique Shops, a guide for west coast collectors.

In 1983, Ted began volunteering in the Snoqualmie Valley Schools teaching children chess. He continued coaching chess students in the schools until last year.

Ted was an active member of St. Clare Episcopal Church in Snoqualmie.

Ted is survived by his wife, Abbie; sons, Adam, Ted, Jr., and Terry; daughters-in-law Addie and Ena; granddaughters Melody and Imogen; sister Mary Lee McLane of Sacramento; and his nieces and nephews. There will be a memorial service on June 14, at 2 p.m., at St. Clare Episcopal Church in Snoqualmie.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests remembrances to St. Clare Church, P.O. Box 369, Snoqualmie, Washington, or to

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
