Garbage footprint evolving as contracts go up for grabs

BY SETH TRUSCOTT AND CAROL LADWIG

The hydraulic arm lifts the plas-tic bin up into the air, dumps the

aromatic contents and then sends it back down to the ground in sec-onds with smooth motion.

But inside the cab, driver Rod Holmes, along with the rest of his 50,000-pound garbage truck, is wobbled like a kayak in a gale by the power of that arm.

“It takes a lot of getting used to,” admits Holmes, a 15-year Allied Waste collector—don’t call him a garbage man—and five-year vet-eran on the yard waste route in the Snoqualmie Valley.

Fall City man rescues rafter, suffers heart attackBY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter

Russell Holl of Fall City had a back-breaking week. His schedule so far has been as follows: Sunday, Aug. 28, save a woman from drowning in a rafting accident; Monday, rush to hospital with a heart attack; Tuesday, more hospital; Wednesday, come home with a new stent in the chest.

“It was a little more excitement than I planned on,” said the 45 year-old last Thursday, Sept. 1, after admitting he was still a little woozy from the past week.

Holl had just been planning on a sunny float down the Snoqualmie River Sunday, with some friends and neigh-bors from the Snoqualmie RV Park and Campground.

With 20 acres in North Bend, board has home for new

Youth Activity CenterBY CAROL LADWIG

Staff Reporter

It’s a good thing Bryan Zemp built his Eagle Scout project to last. The 25- year-old sign announcing the future site of the Snoqualmie Valley YouthActivity Center has been installedagain this week on Boalch Avenue in North Bend, across from Encompass. Ty Powers restored the sign last year for his own Eagle project, making ita symbol of what the YAC Board of Directors hopes the center will be.

“We really want to emphasize themulti-generational aspect of the cen-ter,” said board member Jim Green, who is excited to get the YAC “back on the map.”

The center has been closed sinceMarch of 2008, when the building it then occupied on Bendigo Boulevard,was flooded with sewage from North Bend’s nearby water treatment plant.Youth groups that relied on the cen-ter, mainly Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and the Venturing Crew, have been meeting in other facilities over theyears, and focusing more on outdooractivities.

“It kind of disappeared for a few years,” Green said of the center.

Board members were working all along, though, to settle the issue of the old building with the city of North Bend, and to buy new property for anew, bigger center to accommodate the expanding club sizes. In 2010, thecity of North Bend bought the prop-erty from the YAC for $425,000, andearlier this year, the board purchaseda 20-acre site on Boalch Avenue forabout $225,000.

Flexing only gets you so far with benefit calendar

BY CAROL LADWIGStaff Reporter

Some would-be tractor men thought removing their shirts counted as special talents. Others thought flexing vari-ous muscles counted—and it did, for a few.

Flexing and posing were only part of the spectacle at the August 27 Tractor Men Calendar audition at Sliders Cafe in Carnation. The event, to select 12 Valley tractor men for a fund-raising photo calen-dar, also awarded personality points, based on candidates’ responses to an odd variety of questions from the judges.

“Are you a Dickies, Levis, or Carrhart man?” Well, it depends on what you’re doing in them.

“How do you like your steak?” With few exceptions, it was medium rare.

“Favorite place to take a date?” Fishing, mostly.

“Puppies or kitties?” Karl

Christensen of Fall City drew groans and reluctant laughs from the crowd with his answer, “It depends on how you cook them.”

“If you could spend time

with anyone, living or dead,who would it be?” Ryan Fisherof Carnation scored huge withthe judges when he answeredsimply “My wife.”

It was Fisher’s wife who put him up to the audition, and made him wear his “fancyjeans,” he said, and althoughhe blushed when he had toshow off those jeans, he waslaughing with the audience.

Around two dozen people lounged on the back patio of Sliders to enjoy the good-natured teasing and ogling ofthe auditions, which organizer Robin Woelz deemed a suc-cess.

“VOTED BEST HANDYMAN 2011”

His wife, Mary, wasn’t on the trip, but the group of nine included Lisa Sweet and her husband, on their first-ever raft trip down the Snoqualmie.

Sweet recalled that the group had passed a huge warning sign draped over the river, and following the veteran rafters’ advice, they got out of the water to walk past a dangerous pile of logs on the left side of the river.

Few other rafters took this precaution, and a group of four had gotten hung up on the logs, including one woman who was in real trouble.

“Her boyfriend was try-ing to help her, holding her head up, but she kept getting pulled under,” Sweet said.

Holl didn’t notice at first, he said, but then a neighbor said, ‘‘That girl needs help. Go get her.’’”

He’d never been involved in any kind of water rescue before, but he didn’t hesitate to jump in and wade the 30 or 40 yards across the river, through waist-deep water.

“It’s my weight,” he explained. “I’m 6’2”, and I weigh 240. All the other peo-ple were just standing there gawking, because they knew they’d be washed away.”

He almost did, too, when he grabbed a branch to steady himself. He calls that his one mistake, because suddenly, his feet went out from under him. “I thought ‘no, no, no!’ and she was right there.... I still don’t know how I got back down.”

When he reached the struggling girl, he saw that her raft had deflated and was tangled in her legs. The extra drag was steadily pulling her under the logs.

“She was wearing a life vest, thank God,” Sweet said, and Holl added, “It saved her life.”

Holl heaved the girl up out of the tangle after a couple of tries, then started carrying

her back across the river. “He was about two-thirds

of the way across the river when people realized he needed help,” Sweet remem-bered.

Holl assumed he was just tired from the exertion, and welcomed the help from the girl’s boyfriend in getting her onto the beach. Then he col-lapsed.

He didn’t know it at the time, but he was having a heart attack—his third one, and when EMTs arrived about 40 minutes later, he waved them off to take care of the girl.

Her name was Mackenzie, and she had just gotten out of a walking cast the day before. She was in shock and severe pain from damage to her knee, and all of Holl’s concern was for her.

Two women in the group were nurses, and they urged him to get some medical attention, but he just want-ed to go home. “My chest was killing me, but I swear I thought it was heartburn,” he said.

Actually, it was a failing stent in his chest, inserted in 2007 after he had two con-secutive heart attacks while working a job for the tree service he owns. This heart attack, though, was nothing like the first two.

In 2007, “My arm, it felt like I had a million ants

biting it,” Holl recalled. On Sunday, it felt like heartburn, so he went home and took lots of antacids, for the first time in his life. Sweet also told him to take some aspi-rin, just in case.

That night, he gradually started feeling better, and Holl said he rested all day Monday, so when the pain came back worse than ever that night, he knew it was time to see a doctor.

“The pain was over-whelming,” he said.

While in the hospital, Holl learned that the stent had collapsed, and that he’d had two heart attacks in the last two days. Now that he’s home again, he promises to never again ignore any potential heart attack symp-toms, but he still wouldn’t hesitate to do what he did on Sunday.

“Anyone who needs help is going to get my help, if I can do it. That’s the way my Mom raised me,” he said.

In King County, people are required to wear life vests while on or in the Snoqualmie, Tolt, Cedar, Green, White, Raging, and Skykomish Rivers, except in designated swimming areas. The penalty for not wearing a life vest is $86, but Sheriff ’s Deputies are issuing tickets only for repeat offenders. The life vest requirement expires October 31.

VALLEYRECORD

SNOQUALMIE

For me, Sept. 11, 2001, began with a phone call.

Get up, my editor urged, and get over here, because something ter-ribly significant had just happened.

Everyone I knew, every stranger I met was glued to their televisions, watching images of planes crash into New York’s iconic Twin Towers and the Pentagon. As the morning lengthened, disbelief turned to a stunned numbness. Surely it couldn’t get any worse. Then the towers fell. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks, and more would have perished, too, if those on board United Airlines Flight 93 hadn’t resisted the hijackers, causing the plane to crash into a Pennsylvania pasture.

I don’t doubt that every American remembers what they were doing on the morn-ing that changed America. Nine-eleven certainly changed things quickly, too. Less than a month later, the nation was at war in Afghanistan—and still is today. It’s sobering to take a moment and consider what those attacks have wrought, what the costs have been, what sacrifices and gains have been made, by this nation and other peoples across the globe.

My other memory is of how Americans a continent away were united—galvanized into unity—by the attacks. By sunset, so many flags

were waving. I remember attending an American Legion vigil, watching old vet-erans and young families come together. No one was sure what the United States’ response would be. The emotion at the time was a rallying around true prin-ciples and patriotism. People of all ages gathered in the park just to talk, to get their feelings out in the open.

Now, on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, we have three opportunities to reflect on the day that transformed the world and to remember those at its epicenter—the emergency workers, soldiers, victims and their families, all real human beings whose destinies were forever changed.

Snoqualmie ceremonyThe city of Snoqualmie and the

American Legion Renton-Pickering Post will observe Patriot Day with a cer-emony, 8:15 a.m. at Railroad Park, 7971 Railroad Ave. S.E. All citizens are invited to this remembrance, which will honor

the victims and survivors of 9/11, as well as first responders, recovery workers, volunteers, soldiers and their families.

SVA gathering Snoqualmie Valley Alliance Church

will hold a public, community-wide gathering, 10 a.m. at Mount Si High School, 8651 Meadowbrook Way. SVA will remember and honor victims and survivors and educate young people about the events of Sept. 11, 2001. This is a family-appropriate event, and all are welcome. To learn more, e-mail to [email protected].

North Bend vigilThe city of North Bend, Si View

Metro Parks and the local Lions Club remember survivors, victims, volunteers and responders in a candlelight vigil and ceremony, 7 p.m. at Si View Park, 400 S.E. Orchard Dr., for the National Day of Service and Remembrance.

The new site will be big enough for larger meeting areas, while still accommodat-ing the outdoor adventures that most of the involved clubs are involved in.

Those groups are already helping to clear the site of black-berries, said Doug McClelland, also on the YAC Board. Other than that, no plans are final.

“Right now, we just have a piece of property and a real opportunity,” McClelland said.

Green hopes that construc-tion will begin by this spring, and he foresees fund raisers in the future, but said, “We did get enough money from the city (in the property sale) that we can operate without fund rais-ing for now.”

Horse Tales

Author’s ‘Smokey’ sets an example for children

BY CAROL LADWIGStaff Reporter

When Julie Harris realized her horse was going blind, she didn’t know what to do. Smokey had been a beloved family member for years on her Snoqualmie farm, but she wor-ried on what might happen if he lost his eyesight completely.

Putting him down was not an option, but neither was keep-ing him in the barn all day.

“We still wanted him to have his freedom,” she said.

It was a big problem, and Smokey helped to solve it.

The horse proved to be resil-ient, and he quickly adapted to his condition. He’d lost vision in only one eye, and could see well enough to find the pasture on his own. Getting back into the barn was more difficult.

“He could make out that it was a barn, but he couldn’t get into it,” Harris said.

After some thought, she and her son decided to try music, a way for Smokey to use his ears instead of his eyes to find his way home for supper. With a radio playing in his stall day and night, Smokey was able to get around all by himself,

and he did it while danc-ing.

“To com-pensate for his blind-ness, he would tilt his head, so he could see with the good eye,” Harris said, “and because he didn’t know quite where his feet were, he stepped a little higher. It really did look like he was dancing!”

Smokey lived for another year following this routine. Family members would ride him in the pasture, and friends came over to see his dance.

Harris recalled that “Oh boy, when you would ride him, he

would puff up with pride! He never thought he was lacking, he never thought he was differ-ently-abled.”

That spirit, that attitude, is

the inspiration for Harris’ newbook, “A One-Eyed Horse in aOne-Horse Town.” It’s Smokey’sstory, with a few embellish-ments for dramatic effect andwatercolor illustrations but it’salso the story of any child whohas a problem to overcome.

“I really wanted the focusto be on the horse, solving hisproblem,” Harris said. A childmight identify with this lovablehorse, and take a lesson aboutsolving his or her own prob-lems, she added.

Working through Amazon,she was able to find illustra-tor Bonnie Lemaire. The two never met, but Lemaire wasable to create exactly what Harris wanted, right down tothe dancing pigs and melodra-matic chickens.

“We do have six very bossychickens, and they were theinspiration for the drawings,”Harris said. However, the vil-lainous neighbor in the bookis pure fiction. “Our neighborsare wonderful!” she said.

“A One-Eyed Horse ina One-Horse Town” will beavailable at local stores later thisyear. Or, visit www.amazon.com/Julie-Mahler-Harris/e/B004HD1WZS.

Senior players psyched for Kinnune’s 20th season

BY SETH TRUSCOTTEditor

“Run through, run through! Bam!”

Defensive Coordinator Wayne Lewis was emphatic about what he wanted in the tackling drill, and Connor Deutsch was only too happy to comply.

The 175-pound running and defensive back stepped and charged with the rest of the Mount Si team.

“The team is looking good,” said Deutsch, who was psyched about a preseason rating of second in KingCo in a Seattle Times 3A coaches’ poll.

“I want to live up to that,” he said.

Deutsch joins four other seniors as team captains: Sherman Hutcherson, Josh Mitchell, Kolton Auxier and Ryan Atkinson.

“I think we’re ready,” said start-ing quarterback Atkinson. “I’m excited... real excited to see what happens.”

Starting his 20th September as head coach, Charlie Kinnune said the team, while a mite young with only 15 seniors, is still strong and well-respected.

“What I’m most proud of is that I’m as excited in year 20 as year one,” he said. “I really like the fami-lies, the kids, here.”

“I want to see us get to the Dome,” said senior linebacker Caymon Granillo. “That’s what everybody wants.”

Mount Si visits Bothell at Pop Keeney Stadium, 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10.

Mount Si girls soccer returners aggressive, conditioned

BY SETH TRUSCOTTEditor

Cheers go up as Laura Barnes nears the net, then fires a ball over the keeper’s head and right under the crossbar for a goal.

“We just had to win,” the senior explained her shot, which drew cheers from teammates on both sides of the drill. “I had to get some-thing done.”

Getting things done should come easy to Barnes, a team captain and likely standout player for the Mount Si women’s soccer team this fall.

“She’s a very aggressive forward,” said assistant coach Ben Tomlisson, who expects

Barnes, “a real go-to player,” to put plenty of balls away over the next few months.

Barnes isn’t the only deeply experienced player on the women’s team.

Twin sisters Brittany and Taylor Duncan, both seniors, bring depth and a family feel—their older brother Sean helped the boys team get to the quarterfinals in 2009.

The Duncans say hard work and team play will get them back to the playoffs, where Mount Si reached the first round last year.

They played on the same Issaquah club this summer.

“You always have someone with you; you always have each other’s back,” Taylor said of the twin approach.

Young, but more experienced than her years, sophomore Sophia Rouches brings

brings good control and fitness as a striker. Soccer

means a lot to her.“I’ve been playing my whole

life,” Rouches said. “It’s a part of me.”

She says the team is stronger

than in past years, and expects success. Rouches has her eye on Kingco and districts.

As a sophomore on varsity, “it’s difficult, but I’ve been working hard on my own time.”

“I’d like to see us score a lot of goals and be in good condi-tion, a good fitness team.”

“The girls are real hungry,” head coach Darren Brown said. “We’ve got a great group,

they’ve worked very hard. I like this team. If we stay healthy, we’re going to be very good.”

Barnes said the team already has good chemistry. Now, “we’ve got show it on the field.”

On goalAt the net, senior Sophie

Rockow and junior Courtney Cowan will split halves.

Rockow, who had a strong

performance in track running events and went to districts this past spring, is “a phenom-enal athlete,” Tomlisson said.

“It’s a lot more intense than JV,” said Rockow, who was moved up this season. “It’s exciting.”

Besides blocking balls, Cowan wants to see a more vocal, aggressive team.

She wants “to let my girls know what’s going on on the

field, to talk more, and bemore of a presence.”

SOCCER FROM 7


“It has to have that kick,” he explains. “It has to have a lot of power to shake out all that stuff out of there, so... when the customer comes home, they’re not giving us a call.”

Holmes’ eight-hour shift—two days a week in North Bend, three days a week in Snoqualmie, collecting thou-sands of green yard waste bins, dumping them, coming back for more—is full of shakes, wobbles, beeps, hisses and funny smells. But it’s also sur-prisingly full of human contact.

Like all Allied Waste collec-tors, Holmes drives solo. But he gets to know many residents—most Valley folk are great, he says—parents, children and pets.

“I even have dog treats for my dogs out here,” he said, pull-ing out a bag of bacon-flavored Canine Carry-Outs. “I meet about five a day.”

Pointing to a passing golden Lab making his own rounds on Kendall Peak Street on Snoqualmie Ridge, “I already hooked him up,” Holmes said.

As Allied Waste’s sole yard waste collector in the Valley, Holmes works under the com-pany’s contracts with North Bend and Snoqualmie. Those contracts are up for renewal this year, and city officials are negotiating new terms begin-ning in 2012, hoping to expand options and lower the local eco-logical footprint.

Trash pictureSolid waste in Snoqualmie,

North Bend, Fall City, Preston and the surrounding county is picked up by Allied Waste. In Carnation and parts north, garbage is picked up by Waste Management. Together, Waste Management and Allied Waste are the first and second largest haulers in the United States, commanding roughly a $20 billion share of the industry.

In Snoqualmie and North Bend, trucks hit the streets sev-eral days a week for eight-and-a-half-hour shifts.

In some cities, they’re on the road as early as 6 a.m.; in most, it’s 7 a.m., though, for school-children’s safety as well as noise reasons.

Three different kinds of trucks make the rounds. Some are specifically garbage, others recycling, still others solely yard waste, like Holmes.

Recyclers deliver to Allied’s high-tech Materials Recovery Facility in Seattle. Yard waste trucks deliver to the Cedar Grove Composting facility at Maple Valley. All garbage from the Valley is trucked to the county’s Cedar Hills landfill, dumped by the hauler for $95 a ton.

The 920,000-acre landfill takes in about 800,000 tons of trash a year, or 2,200 tons a day—all of the garbage gener-

ated from across the county, except Seattle and Milton. The landfill is expected to fill up after 2024.

County residents may self-haul, but city residents can’t move in without signing up for garbage service: “Not an option,” said Dan Marcinko, Snoqualmie Public Works director.

Collection is mandatory for homes, apartments and busi-nesses in city limits, “meaning you have to use the contractor we’re using,” Marcinko said.

Recycling is included in the rate, typically about $45 for a single family residence, which can be reduced for low-income residents or seniors.

Snoqualmie’s contract could be sweetened as part of the bid process. Proposals are due Wednesday, Sept. 7. A final-ist will be selected by October, council action will come in December, and the new con-tract comes online next June.

With contracts coming up only periodically, this is the time for competition among haulers for trash dollars.

“When you go through a competitive process, you have the opportunity to get the mar-ket price on things,” said Jeff Brown, a private trash contract consultant to the city.

Thanks to the recession, the marketplace has changed. Prices are lower and contrac-tors are hungrier for hauling accounts; there are more haul-ers in the mix, and a wider, bet-ter variety of recycling options and tech.

Mayor Matt Larson wants the city’s next solid waste con-tract to allow as much flexibil-ity as possible to adapt to new discoveries.

“One of the areas most lack-ing in our current contract is the ability to separate food waste for our commercial and

retail customers,” Larson said. “Local restaurants, schools, (The) Salish, TPC, etc., do not have the option to separate their food waste, which repre-sents a majority of their waste streams. I hope that new tech-nologies... will offer solutions to such problems. We wish to be sure that we can take full advantage if and when the opportunity arrives.”

Allied’s waste options have evolved in the course of the contract. The company most recently expanded a food waste program: Residents can now dump egg cartons, rinds and scraps into their yard bins.

“When I started here, March of 2009, you couldn’t do it,” Marcinko said. “Now you can. They’ve done a great job of adding, of allowing the city to make changes.”

Sole provider?Two contract companies

serve North Bend, each with its own franchise area. Allied Waste Management col-lects trash, recycling and yard waste from most North Bend residents, while Kent-Meridian Disposal has three separate contracts to serve the recently annexed Maloney Grove, Stilson, and Tanner neighbor-hoods of the city.

The city’s contract with Allied expires in 2012, but the North Bend City Council last month approved a 10-year extension of Kent-Meridian’s contract. By this extension, the council was able to avoid paying damages to Kent-Meridian for the loss of its franchise, as state law dictates. However, the city still has to manage multiple contracts.

City Administrator Duncan Wilson said Allied has request-ed that the city delay calling for bids on a new contract. The city agreed, and has begun negoti-ating with Allied on a possible

future contract. “We wanted to investigate

a way to bring all those con-tracts under one entity,” Wilson explained. Since the company is part-owner of Kent-Meridian, “Allied might buy out the con-tract,” he said.

Whatever provider wins the 2012 contract, the city wants a few changes from its current service level. Some possibilities are increased yard waste col-lection, now every other week, and lower rates for residents and businesses.

The monthly charge for the lowest volume of collection at a business in North Bend is $120, $198 outside city limits “...so you can see there’s a serious savings in the city,” Wilson said. “Allied has told us it’s feasible for them to buy out the (Kent-Meridian) contract and effectu-ate some savings.”

However, if the city and Allied can’t agree on terms, the city still has time to seek bids from other haulers.

Old landfillCarnation used to manage

its own waste stream, with a city truck and a couple of employees making the weekly rounds. That system worked for more than 50 years, City Manager Ken Carter estimat-ed, since the city had its own landfill.

“I think it wasn’t a land-fill like we think of a landfill today,” said Carter, who’s been with the city for about two years. “It was the old, old city dump.”

The landfill closed in 1989, and the city now contracts with Waste Management for trash collection, recycling and yard waste services. The current franchise agreement expires next year, and although the City Council hasn’t begun dis-cussing its options, Carter has

already been thinking about them.

“There is a big hole in our current agreement regarding commercial solid waste recy-cling,” Carter said. Without specific provisions for com-mercial recycling, “For a com-mercial business to recycle, doesn’t save them anything.”

Carter is also hoping to negotiate a spring cleaning day into the city’s next agreement, allowing people to dispose of large items at no extra cost on this day. Better rates are also always a goal, Carter said.

“On the whole, Waste Management does a pretty good job... but that doesn’t mean the council won’t want to explore other options.”

Among its other options are contracts with Allied Waste, or Cleanscapes, a newer contrac-tor that contacted Carter in mid-August.

Carnation’s current agree-ment with Waste Management is a franchise fee model, in which the city gets free collec-tion in return for the franchise, plus 5 percent of the contrac-tor’s receipts from residents and businesses in the city. Last year, that brought in about $50,000 for the city, after util-ity taxes.

That revenue almost cov-ers the annual cost of moni-toring the city’s closed landfill, which was $57,000 in 2010. Monitoring requirements from King County and the State Department of Ecology are for four periodic tests of the site each year, to check for methane production, settling of materi-als, or any movement in the landfill. The landfill has had some of these issues, but the periodic test results have been identical recently, so the city has received permission to test the site only twice in 2011, for an estimated cost of $48,000.

Dirty jobWaste collectors like Rod

Holmes have seen their indus-try change from the inside. Five years ago, Allied Wastedid away with the last of the two-person pick-up teams.For safety reasons, all driversgo solo, using the robot arms to pick up bins.

Haulers are also embracinggreen tech in the truck fleet.Half of Allied’s 88 Eastside trucks are now powered bycompressed natural gas;Replacing one truck is theequivalent of taking 325 carsoff the road.

When the old rear-loaderswent away, Holmes swore hewouldn’t change. But when they gave him one of the newhydraulic trucks, he quickly got on board. They couldn’t pry itfrom him now, he says, and hedoesn’t mind driving solo.

There’s his name, decaled on the doors.

“For eight hours, it’s my truck,” he says. “The owner-ship is me operating the trucksafely, educating the public.” Holmes not only meets cus-tomers on his route, but makespitches for recycling on radio.

Holmes thinks constantlyabout safety, and warns fami-lies to keep children awayfrom the bins. He often makes a personal connection, getting to know the people he serves.

“There are people who are truly grateful,” Holmes said.“Most people follow the rules. I’ve had some pretty good run-ins out here. Except for thatdeer.”

Holmes loves the reality ofhis job, and says he’s passed updesk jobs to stay on the road.

“I’m glad to be a part of it,” he said, proud of being acollector. “We are totally theopposite of the stigma that isgarbage.”
