The following stories happened this week, 25 and 50 years ago, as reported in the Snoqualmie Valley Record. From the Record’s archives:

Thursday, July 18, 1991

• The King County Council has allocated $310,119 for flood mitigation projects in the Valley. The funding includes $15,000 for the removal of debris from the railroad trestle spanning the Snoqualmie River near the Weyerhaeuser mill, and $5,000 to remove the logjam below the Sixth Street levee on the Middle Fork Snoqualmie in North Bend.

• Marge Ollice of North Bend caught a 7 lb., 10 oz. walleye in late June at the Pothole Reservoir, MarDon Resort in Othello.

• When it comes to Carnation history, call on Isabel Jones. That’s what a group of Bellevue Girl Scouts did when they wanted to tour the Lower Valley city last fall. That experience led to the Tolt Historical Society’s latest publication, “A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Carnation.” Jones directed the project, which was funded by the King County Cultural Development Fund hotel/motel tax revenues.

Thursday, July 21, 1966

• The Si View Babe Ruth team won three games in as many consecutive days to take the championship of the Redmond-Snoqualmie Valley Babe Ruth League with a season record of 12 wins and two losses. The young underdog team of just 12 players scored 108 runs while holding their opponents to 49 for the season. Members include Steve Fury, Jim Meador, Dennis Danielson, Bob DeBauw, Ron Lee, Bob Schriver, Neil Robinson, Dick Kirschner, Ken Hearing, Gene Larson, Mike Mallory, and Kevin Mulvihill.

• For 8-year-old Danny Grina and his brother, 9-year-old Randy, it was a dream come true. Their father won the mare and equipment given away by the Snoqualmie Valley Riding Club at its Gymkhana last Saturday. Their pleasure may be short-lived. Their mother, Mrs. Don Grina of North Bend, said she doubted that they would be able to keep the prize. But the boys are thinking of names, just in case.
