The North Bend woman has been candy distributor for the Snoqualmie Valley for 29 years, continuing volunteer efforts that began with Camp Fire in 1947.

The job entails storing mints, Almond Roca and Smokehouse Almonds in her garage for six troops.

• Mother Nature demonstrated her awesome strength in dramatic fashion last week by demolishing the 100,000-gallon water storage tank in Wilderness Rim. The force of trees carried by water and mud down the hillside was enough to totally wipe out the tank, constructed of three-eighths-on-an-inch-thick steel plates. The tank was used by residents for fire protection and as a backup water source. Fire flow was reduced to the west portion of the residential area.
