SUMMARY:Cheney-Spokane Members Meeting and Public Lecture
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to the public\, but only IAFI Cheney-Spokane members can vote during the member meeting. It will be held at the beautiful new Doris Morrison Learning Center at 1330 S. Henry Road.  Exit the freeway south on Barker Road\, turn left at the roundabout at Sprague Road\, then right at the three-way junction on Henry Road. \n\nSaltese Uplands Conservation Area hike: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Note: A completed liability form is required for this 3-mile hike. It is of moderate difficulty and consists of a dirt and rock trail with switchbacks\, spanning about 700 vertical feet. Bring your own snacks & drinks\, good hiking shoes\, and dress appropriately for mid October weather conditions. Lunch is not provided. Meet the hike leader at the Saltese Flats Wetland trailhead at 11 AM.)\nMember meeting: 2:00-3:00 PM\nSpeaker: USGS Geologist Jim O’Connor (beginning after the Member meeting)\n“A Century of Discovery: 102 Years of Studying the Ice Age Spokane Flood”\nSynopsis: For more than a century\, geologists have investigated the massive Ice Age floods that swept through Spokane\, reshaping the region’s terrain and sparking global scientific interest. USGS Geologist Jim O’Connor will review some of the discoveries made in our understanding of these cataclysmic events—from their origins and pathways to the dramatic landforms they left behind. He will also highlight some of the enduring questions that continue to drive new research\, revealing how much there is still to learn about one of North America’s most extraordinary geological phenomena.\n\nNote: At present\, we have three openings on our chapter board.  Our board meets the third Tuesday of each month from 3-5 PM at the Wren-Pierson Building in Cheney.  Interested? Members with expertise in accounting or K-12 education or medical experience or any other expertise that would aid our chapter’s mission should send a very brief vita to Dr. Linda McCollum\, President\, IAFI Cheney-Spokane Chapter\, lmccollum@ewu.edu \nPlease use the button below to sign up for the event and optional hike. Your registration helps us plan more smoothly and ensure a great experience for everyone.

SUMMARY:Northern Kittitas Valley Fault Trace Research - Postponed
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Angster\, +one\nOur speaker\, Steven Angster\, scheduled for October 11th is going to have to be rescheduled as he is a federal employee with the USGS and is not allowed to do any work related activities during the shutdown.     \nWe are tentatively looking at a new date in late June of 2026.  We are still working on the details of that. \nStephen Angster\, a research scientist at the Seattle Field Office of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Science Center\, focuses on characterizing and integrating upper-plate fault source parameters for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in the Pacific Northwest. He employs a multidisciplinary approach—emphasizing paleoseismic trenching as a tool alongside geophysical and geological investigations—to better understand the spatial and temporal patterns of prehistoric large earthquakes. \nDoors will open at 3:30 pm with the presentations beginning at 4:00pm. This event will offer an opportunity to browse and purchase such Ice Age Floods items as books\, maps\, posters and baseball caps. All purchases must be with cash or check only please.  \nSteve currently leads active research projects on both sides of the Cascades. On the west side\, he has identified new fault scarps along the Seattle fault zone and the Canyon River fault. East of the Cascades\, his work focuses on constraining the nature and extent of back-arc deformation. Understanding strain accommodation across the Kittitas Valley is a key component to that research. He will present new data from studying several strands of a fault trace that spans many kilometers of the northern Kittitas Valley. \nStephen holds a B.S. from Western Illinois University\, an M.S. from the Colorado School of Mines\, and a Ph.D. from the University of Nevada\, Reno.

SUMMARY:Expansion of Early Roads in the US West
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday October 14\, Dr. E. F. Cater\, Director of the Douglas County Historical Museum in Waterville\, will present a talk\, “Expansion of Early Roads in the US West.” The program starts at 7:00 PM\, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center\, 127 South Mission\, in Wenatchee. Zoom link for those who cannot attend in person: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8185554795 Meeting ID: 818 5554 7958 \nWestern roads developed by push and shove. Business people and shippers built some of the first usable roads. They needed to get wares to market. Others built ways to get to town to buy those goods. \nBuilding new roads\, and connecting roads\, was difficult and expensive. No entity wanted to do that. Not the Federal government\, nor the states\, not the counties. They got pushed into road-building. What happened? \nAround 1912\, the introduction of the automobile\, especially the Model T\, spurred the United States into building auto-routes adequate for travel. There were no transcontinental highways. Many states didn’t even connect with one another. \nLocally\, the Yellowstone Trail eventually passed through Waterville\, Wenatchee\, Monitor\, Cashmere\, and over Blewett Pass. We will learn about that road. \nClick the link below to see the first 3 minutes of the presentation:\nhttps://youtu.be/Htov6YXW6L8?si=ixgoJkN63zfs1mWi \nThe program is free and open to the public. \nSwitchbacks on Blewett Pass\, 1910
