For Best Volunteer Nels Melgaard, life is about activity, helping others

By Seth truScottEditor

Nels Melgaard was staffing Sallal Grange’s Dairy Drive table at the North Bend QFC, as he’s wont to do on Tuesday evenings, when a woman approached and decided to help.

Collecting basics like cheese and butter for the local food bank, Melgaard and fellow Grange volunteers also set out a little cash drawer, and passersby had dropped in a few five and ten-dollar bills. When the woman, who he didn’t know, dropped in a folded check, Melgaard thanked her and thought nothing of it until the end of their shift, when they counted the money. Unfolded, the check was made out for $500.

“You know, you just don’t know,” Melgaard says, recounting the incident. Melgaard can still be surprised by local generosity, and he’d be the one to know, given the sheer amount of volunteer work the man does in the Valley. This month, Melgaard was named “Best Volunteer” by newspaper readers in the Valley Record’s “Best of the Valley” poll. Before that, he was the 2011 Citizen of the Year for North Bend. He’s an active Grange mem-ber, longtime volunteer for the Snoqualmie Valley Wrestling Club, highly active on a personal level helping others with substance abuse, and also connected and helpful to other local

efforts, such as North Bend’s downtown Block Party. A 16-year Valley resident, Melgaard is owner of The Nursery at Mount Si in North Bend, and is married to wife Anne; they have two sons, Wilkins, 16, and Christian, 12.

As he explains it, his community service is a product of his upbringing, and his own itch to accomplish.

“An idle mind and an idle body is dangerous,” Melgaard says. “I can’t sit still… In all things in life, the only way you keep what you have is by giving it away. What you put out comes back to you.”

He credits his parents—father Paul, who died two years ago, and mother Marilynn, who lives in the Midwest—with inspiring a life of activity.

“I had an example growing up,” he said. “My parents were involved with a lot of things, whether it was planning com-mission, city council.” Elected office isn’t really his thing, but as Melgaard says, “There is plenty to do.”

Sallal Grange, which closed briefly after a long local history, re-opened thanks to the efforts of Melgaard and others to bring it back with a new, younger focus on music and families.

Melgaard is humbled by the recognition.“People say, ‘So what are you going to do now?’ I go, ‘Nothing,

that was last year. Someone else is going to be running it.’”To Melgaard, that anonymous Dairy Drive donation shows

how easy it can be to make a difference.“If you’re not there, it’s out of sight and out of mind,” he says.

“When people want to contribute, make it convenient for them, and they will step up.”

Life is about being busy for North Bend’s Nels Melgaard. Tending plants at his business, the Nursery at Mount Si, Melgaard is active with Sallal Grange, youth wrestling, and other activities. He says it’s easy to get involved in your com-munity, if the avenues are visible.

Busy hands, purposeful life

Sno Falls Credit Union named Best Place to Work for second yearWe asked Valley Record

readers to tell us which Valley business was the best place to work at. At the top of the list: Sno Falls Credit Union, the Snoqualmie-based union with

five local branches, including one at Mount Si High School.

Based in Snoqualmie, the credit union is locally focused, with Valley volunteers on its board of directors.

Local connectionCelebrating her 25th year

with the credit union this February, Linda Trombley rose from being a teller to becom-ing a branch manager and loan officer. Sno Falls has invested in her career, and she is equally invested in the business on a personal level.

A North Bend resident, Trombley is one of those lucky locals who are deeply connect-ed to their hometown, where they live and work.

At Sno Falls, we are commu-nity-chartered,” she said. “I’ve been able to move up, but I’m staying in our community.”

“For me, it’s in the commu-nity where I have grown up. Our members are people that I know. There’s a connection with the community.”

She also likes the atmo-sphere— “I’ve always enjoyed my coworkers... they’re gener-ally community people, too.”

Always learningIan Rillios, a 19-year-old

Fall City resident, took a job at Sno Falls’ Wildcat Branch as part of his accounting studies at Mount Si High School. He’s now working full time at the credit union.

Rillios is translating that original part-time experience into a career. He loves the financial field, and is continu-ing his studies in finance.

From the student job, “I just kept progressing, learning more stuff,” said Rillios. For him, the best part of the job is that “You keep learning, every single day.”

Love my job

Snoqualmie Valley YMCA named Best Organization to Join

According to Dave Mayer, director of the Snoqualmie Valley YMCA, the Y’s mission is to build a community where all people, especially the young, are encouraged to develop their fullest potential in spirit, mind and body.

“At the Y, strengthening community is our cause,” he said. “We do this intention-ally with programs that center around youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. We work side-by-side with our neighbors throughout the Snoqualmie Valley to help kids and families thrive—and apply their positive behaviors and goals at home, school, the workplace and beyond.”

Youth development“We believe the values and skills

learned early on are vital building blocks for life,” Mayer said.

Being healthy means more than simply being physically active, Mayer says. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body.

To date, nearly 2,800 people have joined the local Y, said Mayer, who anwered the following questions about the organization:

How are you connecting with families and children?

We are connecting with families by bringing them together in a com-munity environment where they can interact with each other in a healthy and positive setting. Families have the opportunity to play basketball, go on a hike, take a group exercise class and just have fun with each other on a day-to-day basis through engag-ing programs. Kids are connected through a variety of youth and teen programs like After Zone (for teens) and Kids University (school-age chil-dren). They have the ability to get a

youth fitness orientation, participate as a volunteer and have fun playing dodge ball in the gym. We also give parents the opportunity to get a great workout in and take a class while their kids are cared for in our free Kids Zone Care where great staff keep them safe and have fun!

What does the future hold for the Snoqualmie Y?

We are looking forward to our first full summer and all the great pro-grams and activities that go along with that. We have an array of summer programs that parents can check out at ysummer.org or stopping in at the branch. We are also looking forward to developing programs for preschool age children and getting our youth sports programs going. We will also be releasing “Get Outside with the Y” for some fun and interactive outdoor activities during the summer months that the whole community can be involved with. We will continue to hold focus groups to make sure we engage our community the right way with programs and activities.”

Spirit, mind and body

Snoqualmie Valley


North Bend’s Gina Estep is Best City EmployeeNorth Bend’s Gina Estep,

the community and eco-nomic development director for the city, was voted Best City Employee in the Valley by R e c o r d r e a d e r s . We asked Estep to share her thoughts on what it means to work for the people, promoting growth and her community.

How do you inter-act with residents?

I interact with the public on many levels and enjoy it very much. Our economic development and city plan-ning efforts have created a number of volunteer com-munity based committees that ultimately include more than 50-plus volun-teers. All of these volunteer groups are the backbone to North Bend’s economic and planning successes. The successes the City of North Bend has seen in the past five to 10 years is a result of all these volunteer efforts and community support.

How does growth help your city?

Economic growth that builds and strengthens the city’s goals, vision and char-acter enables and strengthens a healthy economic atmo-sphere and most importantly

,lays the foundation for addi-tional economic growth by building and growing desir-ability to invest in North Bend, live in North Bend and visit North Bend.

What’s the hard-est part of your job? Most satisfying?

The hardest part: It seems there’s never enough time in the day.

The most satisfying: The people. I love working with the citizens and business owners to help ensure we realize North Bend’s long term vision and economic potential.

What keeps you doing this job?

I truly enjoy community development. Helping a city grow or progress in a

smart, healthy and sustain-able manner is fun.

What might locals not understand about your line of work?

City planning touches almost every aspect of the city from economic devel-opment to community pro-grams down to the smallest detail of urban design, such as sidewalk look and feel.

Thank you, Snoqualmie Valley, for voting the Northwest Railway Museum one of the three best places for a family outing in the Valley! Day Out With Thomas™ tickets go on sale to Valley Residents April 18.

Darby Summers is Valley’s Best Firefighter

Snoqualmie firefighter Darby Summers let out a cheer when he learned that he was voted Best Firefighter by Valley Record readers this year.

“That’s awe-some!” he said, but he was even more excited to hear that his friend, Snoqualmie Police Officer Sean Absher, was again chosen Best Police Officer.

“He deserves it. He’s my favorite cop and a good guy,” said Summers, who has been a full-time fire-fighter with the Snoqualmie Department since Jan. 1,

2001. He is also certified as an EMT and a Swiftwater Rescue Swimmer.

Summers and Absher were both involved in the dangerous rescue last May of Lynsey Grennan, who

got caught in the Snoqualmie River’s current when she tried to rescue her fiance. Summers grabbed a life vest and jumped into the current to help the woman, whose strength was flag-

ging. Absher, while not dispatched to the incident, was on the riverbank, wait-ing to pull them both to safety.

“That guy goes above and beyond. Seeing Sean on the shore with his throw bag

in May of last year, was a heavy moment in my life,” Summers said. “If anyone deserves a ‘best’ category, it’s that guy.”

Summers received a Medal of Valor from the city for the rescue, and Absher received a Medal of Merit.

Although he was on vaca-tion last week, Summers took some time to answer a few questions about his work.

What made you become a firefighter?

I ended up in this line of work because I love helping people. My parents were always quick to jump in and help someone in need, and I learned early on not to just drive by someone who

needed help. I was a volun-teer firefighter for two years before I got hired and I was hooked….I should prob-ably think about moving up in my career but I’m happy with my duties and have a lot of pride in what I do. I’d much rather be in harm’s way than order someone else to do it.

You’re a genuine hero to a lot of peo-ple. Who were your heroes in life?

There are some awesome firefighters in Snoqualmie, Fall City and North Bend, many of whom I grew up looking up to.

How do you relax, with such a stressful job?

I have two busy little boys who I call my men! Hunter is 4 and Caiden is 7, and

they are my world. I live right here in Snoqualmie with my girlfriend, Nicole, who is also a volunteer fire-fighter and EMT. We spend most of our time raising the boys and try to spend our free time in the outdoors. We love rock climbing and find our solace up in the mountains.

What’s the best part about working in Snoqualmie?

We have a great group of firefighters in this city. I’d still be volunteering if I didn’t get hired full time. Living in the community that I work in means a lot to me, this is my home-town. I love my job. This acknowledgement means a lot, too, as it comes from the folks of the community I serve. It’s a real honor.
