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

Thursday, June 7, 1990

• The Carnation Sewer Task Force will hold a public meeting June 11 to consider six alternatives for a controversial city sewer system. A Fall City group, also working on plans for a sanitary sewer system, has already gone through that process. The citizen committee made three decisions, on the technology to be used, the location of the plant, and the service area.

• Once upon a time he wrote a sports column for the Valley Record. He went on to be sports editor for the Wenatchee World newspaper, keeping at it for 36 years. Dick Pieper retired on May 7.

Thurs., June 10, 1965

• A new, higher production record in the Holstein Friesian Association of America has been set in Washington. Carnation Broad Acre Pauline, owned by Carnation Farm, broke the all-time record with an official 365-day total of 22,100 pounds of milk and 868 pounds of butterfat.

• The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will call for bids on exploratory drilling on the north and middle forks of the Snoqualmie River. The work will be part of the studies being made to determine the feasibility of multipurpose dams on the North and Middle Forks.

George Ostroth, project engineer, said although flood control is the primary reason for the Corps of Engineers’ interest in the project, the dams, if built, will be multipurpose in order to derive as many benefits as possible.
