• More than 30 of the 100 babies born during the last year at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital returned with moms, dads, nurses and volunteer supporters for an afternoon celebration on Friday, July 20. Cody Allen Deal, the 100th baby born since the hospital’s Family Birth Center opened a year ago, could not make the engagement. He was sleeping upstairs.
• Kristen Caldwell recently returned from an 11-day tour of China as a member of the Washington Cultural Exchange soccer team, coached by Enumclaw. Kristen’s 13-member team played the national teams from Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
• Family and friends will hold an all-day party on Tuesday, July 31, to mark the closing of the Railroad Cafe in Snoqualmie. Drop by if you’d like to express thanks to Dean and Reva Dalman for 15 years of service the old-fashioned way.

• The Snoqualmie Valley’s newest golf course, Si View Park, will officially open for play July 31, Manager Cec Thompson announced. The nine-hole course is situated within the town limits of North Bend and access is by way of the Si View Park Road off Highway 10.
• Frequent and recent vandalism on the property of the Milwaukee Road has prompted W.J. Bear, captain of police for the railroad, to issue a warning to violators and a request for cooperation from juveniles and adults alike. Bear said juveniles responsible for recent damage to railroad property in the Carnation area have been apprehended and restitution made. Still not identified, however, are those persons responsible for shooting switch locks off the siding switches and opening the switches at Fall City.
