Innovia Foundation Celebrates Community at Marcus CiderFest

 

Spokane, Wash. – Each year, the small community of Marcus, Washington hosts a day of festivities to celebrate the arrival of the autumn season. A tradition that began in 1974, Marcus CiderFest has become a highly anticipated fall festival for the whole region.

 

This year, in recognition of Innovia Foundation’s 50th Anniversary theme of “Celebrating Community,” Innovia is investing in free and low-cost events and opportunities that bring people together and is pleased to make the kids' carnival games free at this year’s CiderFest.

 

The festival opens at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 5 with a sausage and gravy breakfast. Visitors are invited to explore the classic car show, an entire field of vendor booths and food trucks, watch the parade travel down Highway 25, listen to live music on the main stage throughout the day, and enjoy the beer garden with more live music into the evening. A central feature to the festival includes the giant, homemade cider press where festival-goers can purchase fresh-pressed cider.

 

“Ciderfest has become a gathering place for friends, families and neighbors to meet and mingle while supporting the community,” says Janet Worden, President of the CiderFest Board. “We hope to see many more years of festival growth as we pass the torch to our younger generation.”

 

Fifty years ago, Marcus CiderFest began as an annual pancake breakfast benefiting volunteer firefighters. Today, Marcus welcomes several thousand visitors each year to support local vendors. Currently claiming the title of being the largest festival in Stevens County and surrounding counties, CiderFest has evolved into a beloved celebration, inspiring pride in the hearts of residents.

 

“Innovia is honored to support events showcasing the vibrant spirit of rural communities,” says Innovia CEO Shelly O’Quinn. “A celebration that attracts visitors from across the region each year, Marcus CiderFest is a true expression of community vitality that we are proud to support.”

 

Innovia Foundation’s investment in Marcus CiderFest is part of a series of events and activities Innovia is gifting to communities across Eastern Washington and North Idaho in celebration of the Foundation’s 50th Anniversary in 2024. More information about these events can be found at innovia.org/fifty.

 

Celebrating Community in 2024

Together with media partner NonStop Local KHQ, Innovia is Celebrating Community, a year-long, region-wide celebration of the volunteers, citizens and organizations that have faithfully served the needs of communities for 50 years in Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Each month, Innovia will gift the region with free, inclusive, family-friendly activities and experiences to commemorate the Foundation’s past, present and future of bringing people together to transform lives and communities. Event details will be released at the beginning of each month throughout 2024.

 

50th Anniversary Calendar of Events

In addition to Innovia-sponsored community events, the Foundation has launched an online calendar where individuals and organizations can submit information about celebrations and activities in their community. The calendar is open to any events within the Foundation’s region that are free or low-cost, family-friendly and have a broad community appeal. Calendar entries can be submitted at innovia.org/fifty.

 

Photo Drawing

Community members who attend Innovia-sponsored community events this year are invited to submit their photos from the event for a chance to win a photo drawing. Winners will be selected in March, June, September and December to receive a $250 grant to a nonprofit of their choice. Entries can be submitted by posting photos on Instagram with the hashtag #innoviacelebratescommunity or by submitting through an online form. Full drawing details and rules, including the online submission form, can be found at innovia.org/fifty.

 

About Innovia Foundation

As the community foundation for Eastern Washington and North Idaho, we partner with people who want to improve their communities and make the world better. We work together to identify and respond to our region’s greatest opportunities, help those in need, and leave a lasting impact. Our mission is to ignite generosity that transforms lives and communities. We envision vibrant and sustainable communities where every person has the opportunity to thrive.

Washington’s minimum wage going up to $16.66 per hour in 2025


Sept. 30, 2024


TUMWATER — Washington’s minimum wage will rise to $16.66 an hour next year, a 2.35 percent increase over 2024. The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) announced the increase today; it takes effect Jan. 1, 2025.


State law directs L&I to calculate the minimum wage for the coming year using the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). To make the calculation, L&I compares the CPI-W from August of the

previous year to August of the current year.


According to the bureau, housing and food costs increased over the last 12 months, leading to the increase in the CPI-W.


In 2024, Washington has the highest state-level minimum wage in the nation. The federal minimum wage remains set at $7.25 an hour.


Cities can set minimum wages higher than the state. Seattle, SeaTac, Tukwila, Renton, Bellingham, and Burien all will have higher wages in 2025.


The state minimum wage applies to workers age 16 and older. Under state law, employers can pay 85 percent of the minimum wage to workers ages 14-15. For 2025, the wage for younger workers will be $14.16 per hour.


More information about the minimum wage is available on L&I's website, along with details about overtime, rest breaks, meal periods, and how to file a wage complaint. A poster with information about the 2025 minimum wage is also available in 15 different languages.


Employers and workers may also call L&I’s Employment Standards Program at 360-902-5316 or 1-866-219-7321 with questions.


The increase in the state minimum wage also affects the pay for some specific types of workers and employment situations including overtime exempt employees and drivers for rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber.


Overtime exempt employees

Along with calculating the new minimum wage, L&I uses that information to update the minimum salary thresholds for overtime exempt employees. This change impacts how much executive, administrative, and professional workers plus computer professionals and outside salespeople must earn in salary to be exempt from the requirement to pay them overtime.


For 2025, small employers with up 50 employees must pay overtime exempt workers at least 2 times the minimum wage. That means an exempt employee will have to earn at least $1,332.80 a week ($69,305.60 a year). For large employers, with 51 or more employees, overtime exempt workers must make at least 2.25 times the minimum wage. That means an exempt employee for one of these larger employers must earn at least $1,499.40 a week ($77,968.80 a year).


L&I updated the rules for exempt workers in 2020, creating an eight-year implementation schedule that incrementally raises how much more than minimum wage salaried employees must be paid to be exempt from overtime until it reaches 2.5 times the minimum wage in 2028. The pace of the increase is based on the size of the employer.


The same rules allow exempt computer professionals to be paid an hourly rate rather than the salary required for most exempt employees. That hourly rate is 3.5 times the minimum wage, regardless of employer size. For 2025, that will be $58.31 per hour.

Minimum pay for rideshare drivers


The minimum pay drivers will earn for rideshare companies like Lyft and Uber beginning Jan. 1 is also going up. That’s one of the new rights and protections granted to these drivers by legislation passed in 2022.

  • For trips within Seattle in 2025, drivers will earn 68 cents per passenger platform minute and $1.59 per passenger platform mile, or $5.95, whichever is greater.
  • For trips outside of Seattle in 2025, drivers will earn 39 cents per passenger platform minute and $1.34 per passenger platform mile, or $3.45, whichever is greater.

Non-compete clauses

The department also uses the CPI-W to calculate the minimum annual salary threshold for a non-compete clause or contract to be enforceable. Non-compete agreements typically prevent an employee or independent contractor from working for a competitor or starting a similar business while employed or after leaving their current job. In Washington, non-compete agreements are valid only when the employee or independent contractor earns at least a set amount. For employees in 2025, the threshold will be $123,394.17. For independent contractors, the 2025 threshold will be $308,485.43.

Wage complaints investigated


L&I enforces the state’s wage-and-hour laws and investigates all wage-payment complaints. A worker rights complaint can be filed online, downloaded and mailed to the agency, or at a local L&I office.

Butterfield 2024 Custom Home: Progress Amidst Challenges

Our team has been making significant strides on the Butterfield Custom Home despite some design challenges. Our in-house experts have completed the re-design work, and we are currently awaiting engineering approval for a large window wall, expected by August 25th. This delay is not impeding our schedule significantly, as our proactive crew has kept busy by pre-painting siding for the redesigned wall.

Additionally, we have undertaken the task of redesigning certain areas of the home, an effort often necessary when working with external designers. This redesign ensures the highest constructability and aesthetic standards. Our crew is also meticulously staining the home’s gorgeous exterior wood doors, enhancing its visual appeal.

Northeast Washington Artisans Craft Quilt for Veterans Project

Tri County Economic Development District will hold drawing in September

Aartisans, Judy Lockner of Colville and Valerie Lamont of Arden, have once again showcased their artistic talents by creating another lovely quilt for their ongoing Veterans Quilt project. Now in its seventh year, this project stands as a heartfelt tribute to the region's veterans, highlighting the duo's dedication to both their craft and the local community.

The latest quilt by Lamont and Lockner is proudly displayed at the Tri County Economic Development District (TEDD) office, located at 986 S Main, Suite A in Colville.


This creation is another example of their commitment to honoring veterans through the art of quilting.

Valerie Lamont, who began her quilting journey in 2012, draws inspiration from childhood memories of her grandmother sewing all her school clothes each summer. Lamont's passion for quilting has blossomed into a meaningful collaboration with Judy Lockner. Together, they engage in marathon quilting sessions, continually challenging themselves with new patterns and techniques.

The Veterans Quilt project invites veterans from the tri-county area to participate in a free drawing for a chance to win this beautiful quilt. Community members are also encouraged to enter on behalf of veterans they know. Entries can be submitted online at https://bit.ly/VeteransQuilt or in person at the TEDD office during regular office hours (Monday-Thursday, 8:00 am-4:00 pm).

The recipient of this latest Veterans Quilt will be determined through a drawing at the TEDD Board of Directors meeting on September 25th at 1:00 pm.

For more information and inquiries, please contact the Tri County Economic Development District at 509-684-4571 or visit www.tricountyedd.com.
