MARYSVILLE — Although the limited number of candidates for this year’s Marysville Strawberry Festival Royalty meant that everyone still in the running was crowned on the evening of March 1, the Senior Royalty candidates still needed to speak before a trio of judges to determine who would be named the king or queen, and who would be named the prince or princesses. Briauna Hansen, a senior at Marysville Getchell High School, was crowned this year’s Strawberry Festival queen in the Marysville Library, while Lars Kundu and Anna-Marie Mudd, two juniors at Marysville Getchell, were crowned prince and princess, respectively. All three Senior Royalty candidates were asked to deliver speeches on this year’s Strawberry Festival theme of “Just Imagine,” which prompted Kundu to cite imagination as a key component of humankind’s intellectual and societal progress, while Mudd

MARYSVILLE — The cafeteria of Totem Middle School was standing room only on the morning of Saturday, March 3, as Republicans from Legislative Districts 38, 39 and 44 came together to caucus on behalf of the candidates they’d like to see challenge Barack Obama for the presidency this fall. Mitt Romney received the most votes of any candidate in Washington state or Snohomish County, garnering 37.6 percent and 42.4 percent of those

votes, respectively. The Marysville caucus at Totem Middle School proved to be no exception, as Romney received 142 of those votes, with Ron Paul coming in second with 89 votes, Rick Santorum coming in third with 55 votes and Newt Gingrich receiving 36 votes. The placement order likewise mirrored those of the county and the state. Iris Lilly, of the Snohomish County Republican Party, echoed the surprise of many of the Marysville caucus’ attendees over its turnout numbers. “This is at least twice as

large as it was the last time,” Lilly said, after designated caucus attendees spoke up on behalf of each of the four Republican candidates. Mark Buse’s sales pitch for Santorum was simple, presenting him as someone who could deliver “a solid whipping to Obama, like Reagan gave Carter,” while George Lindholm touted Paul on a variety of fronts, from Paul’s “consistent conservatism” in opposing government spending and abortion, to his support of national defense and “freeSEE CAUCUS, PAGE 2

said. “Our country’s financial condition is also hurting our kids, because we’re expecting them to pay it back.” Rhonda Christenson, a Precinct Committee Officer for Marysville, was undecided on a candidate at the caucus, but not on the criteria she would use to choose one. “I would want my candidate to be consistently conservative and fiscally responsible,” Christenson said. “Whether he would win or not is important, but it’s not my top priority. Whoever we nominate, I’ll turn out for them.” Christenson characterized earmarks as sometimes being necessary, but inevitably leading to inefficiency and waste, and likewise argued that the concept of the TSA should have been implemented by more localized agencies, working toward certain national goals of transportation security, rather than existing as a national institution. “As for the 99 percent Occupy movement, it’s well-meaning but misguided,” Christenson said. “Big businesses and rich people are the ones that do the hiring.

asserted the importance of faith by describing one aspect of imagination as “the faith that you can do better tomorrow than you’ve done today.” For her part, Hansen asked her listeners to “Just imagine a revitalized downtown Marysville,” and proceeded to outline some very specific steps that she believes would benefit the city’s businesses and foster a stronger sense of community, from mixed-use buildings which combine ground-floor businesses with upper-floor residences, to architectural styles that would create a more consistent look for the city’s merchants while also affording cover from the rain and extra vantage points for parades. “People still think of this as a bedroom community,” Hansen said. “We have so much to offer, but we need to show it.” Sixth-graders Cheyenne Coe of Totem Middle School, Asheley Krutsinger in the Lakewood School District, and Vanessa Page and Angela Stefoglo all made their public debut as Junior Royalty candidates that evening, and all

Not only is Angela Stefoglo the younger sister of former Senior Royalty Princess Ella Stefoglo, but Lars Kundu is also the younger brother of outgoing Senior Royalty Prince Erik Kundu, who gave his younger brother a sash and a hug after the coronation. A question-and-answer session among the Senior Royalty candidates proved thought-provoking when Lars Kundu admitted that he would want to do research before deciding to which country he would want to pass on a hypothetical gift of $1 million, and became laugh-inducing when Mudd was asked which extinct species she would want to bring back. “I wouldn’t want to bring dinosaurs back, because that could get messy,” Mudd said, before drawing laughter from the crowd by respond-

dom and prosperity.” “He has never flipflopped,” Lindholm said. “He’s also received more contributions from activeduty military than the other candidates combined.” Kristin Cook, a grassroots coordinator for Gingrich in Washington state, cited Gingrich’s record of Congressional accomplishments during the 1990s as evidence that he can make gains for “conservative principles” while working in a bipartisan fashion with Democrats. “My father is progressive with a capital ‘P,’ and Newt is the only one of them he’d consider voting for,” Cook said. “We all agree that any one of these candidates would be better than Barack Obama,” said Greg Wilcoxson, who drew applause from the audience with this opening for Romney, whom Wilcoxson lauded as a successful businessman of 25 years who helped bring the 2002 Winter Olympics to Utah and would focus on “our number-one priority of jobs.” Anthony Upchurch

found himself wishing that Buse had offered more substantive remarks on Santorum’s behalf. As it stood, Upchurch found himself torn between Santorum and Paul, since both candidates appeal to him for their stances on government spending, abortion and the definition of marriage. “Ron Paul has been consistent,” Upchurch said. “You go a decade back, he’s been saying the same things.” Glen Cronk wore his “Newt in 2012” sticker on his shirt because he agreed with Cook that Gingrich has shown his ability to negotiate successfully with Democrats. “He can find middle ground that’s still heavily on the Republican side,” Cronk said. “He’s hardheaded enough to make the Democrats move right.” Mike and Corina Hansen pledged to support whomever the Republicans nominated, but they voted for Romney because of his business experience and his moral values. “Christian values are under assault, so we need someone who can represent them,” Mike Hansen

ing to Kundu’s tongue-incheek suggestion. “I don’t think we’ve ever really had unicorns, Lars.” When asked what advice she would give to young people, Hansen urged them to remain strongly motivated, which she acknowledged can be difficult without a support system. Briauna Hansen, who also received the Bob Klepper Congeniality Scholarship Award, was in tears as she was joined by mom Andee, dad Mike and stepmom Corina, all of whom cited Briauna’s hard work and community service on behalf of her hometown. “She’s a wonderful role model for other kids,” Andee Hansen said. “I’ve been putting my heart into my home for the longest time,” Briauna Hansen said. “I want people to know how much I love where I come from.” Lars Kundu expressed excitement and confidence about the summer and year that lay ahead for him, while parents Michael and Nola echoed Andee Hansen’s assertion that the hectic pace of their kids’ upcoming schedule will serve as an effective preparation for reallife adult responsibilities. “We kind of know what to expect now, after Erik,” Nola Kundu said. “We’re sill hoping to keep some family time together, so it looks like we’ll be taking more trips,” Michael Kundu said. Anna-Marie Mudd admitted to being “kind of speechless” in the wake of her crowning, while mom Terri proudly described her daughter as a “go-getter” who would adjust to an upcoming schedule that Anna-Marie deemed “busy but fun.” “She’s always been very independent,” Terri Mudd said. “At the same time, we’re her family, so we’ll be there to support her.”

Tulalip Cabela’s store sets April 19 opening

TULALIP — The Cabela’s chain of hunting, fishing and outdoor supplies stores will open the doors to its new Tulalip store at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 19. There will be a ribboncutting ceremony at 10:45 a.m. Opening day will be part of a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, special guests, giveaways and more. The store is located within Quil Ceda Village along Interstate 5 at exit 202, about 30 miles north of Seattle. The Tulalip store will be the second Cabela’s in Washington, joining the

Lacey location opened in 2007. Cabela’s also plans to open its first 40,000-squarefoot Cabela’s Outpost Store this fall in Union Gap. Cabela’s currently operates 34 stores across the United States and Canada. “Washington is rich with outdoor recreation opportunities, and many people in this area are longtime Cabela’s catalog and Internet customers,” said Cabela’s Chief Executive Officer Tommy Millner. “We’re excited to open another store in the Evergreen State, making our services even more accessible to its hunt-

ers, anglers and outdoor enthusiasts.” The new store will sell thousands of products, including hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, boating and wildlife-watching gear, as well as clothing, gifts and furnishings. The Tulalip location also will feature two 7,000-gallon aquariums, a boat shop, Gun Library and Bargain Cave, which offers discounts on select merchandise. It will also include a deli called Eagle’s Nest. “We recently completed the hiring process for our new store and there’s a buzz in the community sur-

Sound Salmon Solutions plants trees in Arlington ARLINGTON — Sound Salmon Solutions needs volunteers to help them contribute to salmon recovery by planting native trees and shrubs at their restoration sites in Arlington. “Spend a day or two, or more, directly contributing to improved stream and wetland wildlife habitat, while learning about native plant identification, and natural and local history,” said Michele Harmeling, the volunteer, membership and outreach coordinator for Sound Salmon Solutions. On Saturday, March 17, Sound Salmon Solutions will return to the Country Charm Park and Conservation Area in Arlington for another treeplanting there.

“Pearl Jam wants to put trees back into the Stillaguamish watershed, and you can help,” Harmeling said. “Country Charm is always a popular place to work and play. You will be able to view the site, see what progress we’ve made over the years, then contribute your own plants to that progress.” Volunteers will be joined by representatives from the city of Arlington and other partners in planting native trees and shrubs to provide shade and nutrients for salmon. On Saturday, March 31, Sound Salmon Solutions will be joined by other volunteers and partners, including the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, in planting trees along the

coho stream of Whitehorse Creek in Arlington. “You’ll get to scout for wildlife, like the beavers who have a dam here, and help monitor native vegetation planted by Sound Salmon Solutions in 2009,” Harmeling said. Both events run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on their respective days, and volunteers must register to receive directions and further details. For both events, please bring a sack lunch and a water bottle, wear warm clothes and dress for the weather. Rain boots or sturdy shoes are recommended. Contact Harmeling by phone at 425-319-7696 or via email at michele@ soundsalmonsolutions.org.

rounding our opening,” said Kevin Weeks, store manager. “I know there is enthusiasm for the new store in other parts of the state and Canada as well.” The exterior will reflect the company’s traditional store model with log construction, stonework, wood siding and metal roofing. The inside will highlight the company’s next-generation layout, designed to maximize product assortment and availability while surrounding customers in the outdoor experience with wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts.

Traditional foods are treaty foods

hese short, cold, rainy and sometimes snowy days of winter always make me think about our treaties. It was during this time of year more than 150 years ago that the U. S. government negotiated most of its treaties with tribes here in western Washington. The federal government wanted our homeland. They viewed us as sovereign nations with independent authority to govern our people, lands and resources. We were treated the same as any free nation in the world because that’s what we were then and still are today. Through the treaties we reserved the things that were most important to us as a people. Among them was the right to fish, hunt and gather shellfish and other traditional foods to feed ourselves and preserve our cultures. That’s why I am excited about the new hunting department at the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. It’s aimed at strengthening the tribe’s traditional connection to wildlife by improving hunter access to deer, elk and other game for tribal members to eat. The tribe also is promoting hunting by educating young people. Wildlife habitat in western Washington is disappearing rapidly. Deer, elk and other wildlife are being crowded into smaller and smaller areas in the remaining good habitat, making it difficult for tribal members to exercise their treaty hunting rights. If we lose our ability to hunt, we lose an important source of traditional food, and we can’t afford to do that. Indian people evolved eating traditional foods like elk, salmon, clams and berries. These are the foods that are best for our bodies. That’s why part of the hunting department’s mission is to help connect tribal members with sources for game meat. Tribal hunters hunt for food, not for sport. They traditionally hunt not only for

BEING FRANK

BILLY FRANK, JR. themselves, but for their extended families. It’s common for tribes to designate hunters to harvest wildlife for ceremonies, as wells as for tribal elders and others who are unable to hunt for themselves. Helping tribal members incorporate more traditional foods in their diets is also the goal of the Food Sovereignty Program at Northwest Indian College’s campus on the Muckleshoot Tribe’s reservation near Auburn. Food sovereignty is the right of people to eat healthy traditional foods that are produced sustainably and don’t harm the environment. The program grew from a project by the Muckleshoot, Tulalip and Suquamish tribes and the Burke Museum at the University of Washington. The museum developed a list of traditional foods that Indian people ate before non-Indians arrived in western Washington. The Food Sovereignty program helps tribal members make those foods — such as nettles, camas, huckleberries, salmon and wild game — part of their everyday lives. The project reminds us that to have traditional foods, we must continue to be good natural resources managers. Our treaties recognize that food is at the center of our cultures. Indian tribes are sovereign nations, and part of that sovereignty includes access to the traditional foods needed to keep ourselves and our communities healthy and strong.

Making People Real

ou may have seen the news article recently about the growing popularity of unified sports teams, a wonderful collaboration between high schools across the country and Special Olympics. Unified sports combines students from special education programs with general education students on high school athletic and cheerleading teams. Uniforms, practices, Friday night games in a gym packed with students, the whole deal. What a magnificent evolutionary shift beyond the segregation and separation that have characterized school and sports for so long. According to the article, “These unified teams are upending high school’s archetypal and often cruel social order. Largely invisible in the past, special education students now slap hands with lettermen in the hallways, chat with new friends and live a high school existence that ‘feels normal,’ said one parent.” As one Special Olympics official put it, “Our athletes have an unconditional appreciation for other people. They persevere even in the face of being bullied and teased. We can pull back the veil of the unknown and make people real.” These are qualities that have a profound effect on the student athletes involved, transformative qualities not likely to be found anywhere else in the experience of the typical high school student. The principal of a Colorado school told the reporter that “unified has transformed the culture of this school. It was almost as if these kids weren’t noticed before we began doing this. I don’t think

GUEST OPINION

TOM EVERILL PRESIDENT & CEO OF NORTHWEST CENTER anyone realized how powerful they are.” Exactly so. These high school students are learning that, behind the “veil of the unknown” involving physical and behavioral differences, people with developmental conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and so on also offer a unique power to evoke qualities in the rest of us. But this power can only be accessed to the extent that we engage one another in activities that are important to us. We see this all the time in our own organization. Children in inclusive preschool classrooms teach each other to the point where a visitor has no clue which children are “typical” and which children are “disabled” as labels become meaningless. We have watched children teach a peer whose development was delayed by a traumatic brain injury how to eat (“Like this!”). We have watched children teach each other empathy, how to talk, how to play, and how to be friends. Our experience is that the growth and learning of all children is amplified by diversity and the emergent qualities evoked by inclusion. In our businesses we see that when people of all abilities work together in production and customer service, qualities are evoked in the whole organization that translate directly into bottom line performance, employee

satisfaction and customer satisfaction. Over and over again we have seen employees and trainees of all abilities blossom when they work together in integrated environments, sharing the same high expectations, challenged with a progression of new job skills. Take for example the growth of one trainee who was essentially nonverbal and not engaged before she joined an integrated work pod on our production floor. She is now the absolute picture of a journeyman production worker on whom employers, teammates, and customers can count to deliver value and quality. The whole work pod thrives on and with her success. Not surprisingly, there is a direct correlation between the increasing diversity and inclusiveness of our workforce and the improving financial performance of our businesses. This correlation is not a coincidence — for the same reasons participants in unified high school sports teams are discovering for themselves. Inclusion amplifies power that is already there in each of us — power that turns into new ways of playing the game or doing the job or satisfying the customer. When people of all abilities engage each other fully in activity that matters — participating on a real team in a real game in front of our peers, or doing real work of real importance that is valued by real customers — we all benefit by becoming real to each other, and to ourselves.

Public input sought for post-disaster plans March 7, 2012

The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe

SNOHOMISH COUNTY — The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, recognizing the need to proactively address post-disaster issues, is developing a recovery framework that would speed up recovery from local disasters. The plan will guide the county’s efforts to restore its economic base, neighborhoods, social fabric and other long-term elements in the wake of a significant natural or humancaused event. “Phase One” of the recovery plan has involved analyzing hazard risks

throughout the county, reviewing existing recovery plans from around the nation, identifying best practices and lessons learned, and interviewing public and private officials whose organizations would likely be involved in a recovery effort following a major disaster event in Snohomish County. “Phase Two” of the project involves the establishment of a steering committee comprised of representatives from government, business, nonprofits and service sectors to guide the development of the plan with a focus on

recovery goals, strategies, procedures and resources. The first of several steering committee meetings has been planned for March 14, with two others slated for April 4 and 18. All three meetings will be open to

the public and start at 10 a.m. The March 14 meeting will take place at the new Snohomish County Emergency Operations Center, located at 720 80th St. SW, Building A, in Everett. The April 4 meet-

ing will take place at the Tulalip Administration Building, located at 6406 Marine Dr. in Tulalip. The April 18 meeting will take place at the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency, located at 2901

Marysville AAU teams claim championships

MARYSVILLE — Three teams from Marysville AAU Basketball captured their respective championships at the 2012 Wesco AAU Championship Tournament held March 2-4. The 64-team tournament featured the top 16 teams in each of the four age groups in Wesco AAU. Marysville’s fifth-, sixth- and eighth-grade teams each won a championship. The seventh-grade team was eliminated from the tournament after losing its first two games. “This was a really great tournament for us,” said Matt Chism, director of Marysville AAU Basketball. “Winning three championships is very special.” Chism pointed out that Marysville AAU Basketball had previously only won one championship in its history and now it is the only Wesco AAU program to ever win three age divisions in one year. “In Wesco play our fifth-graders were undefeated with an overall record of 21-0. They were 17-0 in the regular season and then won four games in the tournament,” said Chism. “Our sixth- and eighth-graders both ended up with a record of 20-1, each going 16-1 in the regular season and winning four games in the championship tournament.” “Our seventh-graders came into the tournament as the 15 seed,” he added. The No. 1 seed Marysville fifth-grade team started the tournament with a 43-15 victory over Shorewood. That was followed by a 49-16 win over Snohomish. Next up was Jackson, which Marysville defeated 51-20. In the championship game, Marysville faced off against Stanwood and battled to a 43-38 victory to claim the first-place title. The Marysville sixth-grade team, which was the No. 3 seed, started the tournament with a 45-23 victory over Mount Vernon. In the second game, Marysville battled to a

43-41 overtime victory over Meadowdale. Marysville then defeated Shorecrest 61-55 to move on to the championship game where they defeated Monroe 45-33 to claim the title. The No. 15 seed Marysville seventh-grade team dropped its first two games falling to Meadowdale 56-42 and Monroe 50-40 to be eliminated from the tournament. Marysville’s eighth-grade team, which entered the tournament as the No. 2 seed, defeated Lake Stevens 71-53 in its first game of the tournament. Next up was Mountlake Terrace which fell 64-61 to Marysville. Marysville moved on to defeat Jackson 66-54 to earn a place in the championship game against Kamiak which they beat 64-62 to clinch the title. “The results this year are very encouraging for where basketball overall in Marysville is headed,” said Chism. Chism said that success was due to a number of things. “I think this program has really been built on the commitment of this community and the commitment of this organization. We have really great coaches, we have great families, and these kids are so dedicated to what they are doing,” Chism said. “We also have both varsity coaches, from Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell high schools, very involved in our program. They help out in so many ways.” Chism said that Marysville AAU Basketball served as co-host of the tournament. “Many people throughout the community volunteered to make this a very, very successful tournament and that’s all part of what we’re building,” Chism said. “Marysville is a baseball and football community, and our mission is to help grow the popularity of basketball in Marysville to get all the best athletes out participating in basketball, and to develop them to a very high level as players.”

SeaWolves SC hold tryouts in Boys & Girls Club holds sports signups Marysville on March 24 MARYSVILLE — The North Sound SeaWolves FC will be holding its second open tryout of the preseason from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 24, at the soccer complex at 4808 152nd St. NE in Marysville. The tryout is open to all legal residents of the United States who are 16 or older. Pre-registration is now available on the club’s website, at www. seawolvesfc.com, for $32. Players may also register at the field on tryout day for $50, cash only. “I’m thankful to the Marysville Youth Soccer Club for providing us with the facilities for this tryout,” SeaWolves owner and coach Alex Silva said. “This gives us a chance to reach the community in northern Snohomish County and allows us to continue building strong relationships with local youth

clubs like the MYSC, which is a priority for us.” The SeaWolves’ first tryout on Feb. 18 at Edmonds Stadium drew 50 participants, with 22 being invited back to the second tryout. “We had a lot of requests from players who couldn’t make the first tryout, so we are going to give people who couldn’t make it another chance,” Silva said. “This gives us a chance to take a look at more players, and also gives us a chance to reach into a community that is important to us.” One of the most popular members of the 2011 SeaWolves was Brady Ballew, a graduate of MarysvillePilchuck High School. Ballew, who now plays at Seattle University, has signed on to rejoin the SeaWolves in 2012.

“We’re looking forward to working with the SeaWolves in promoting a higher level of soccer in Marysville and the surrounding communities,” said Brady Blankenship, president of the Marysville Youth Soccer Club. “What a great way not only to help build a fan base for the SeaWolves, but also to expose players and the community to a higher level of competitive soccer. It gives players in our surrounding areas opportunities that are not usually available to them.” The SeaWolves are members of the Premier Development League, the highest level of amateur soccer in the United States. Their 16-game season begins May 20. They will play eight home games at Edmonds Stadium, beginning Friday, June 1, against the Washington Crossfire.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Boys & Girls Club wants the community to know about two new sporting events coming up this spring. From now through March 14, the Club will be conducting signups for its new spring sports season. Not only is the Club offering spring volleyball leagues for grades 3-12 at a cost of $90 per participant, but it’s also starting a brand new league called “NFL Flag Football.” The Marysville Boys & Girls Club and the NFL are teaming up to offer flag football for ages 5-14, at a

cost of $100 per participant, with each player receiving a jersey with an official NFL team logo on it. Both the spring volleyball leagues and the NFL Flag Football will start March 19, but spots are limited, so those who wish to sign up should do so soon. For more information, please contact Marysville Boys & Girls Club Unit Director Matt Evans by phone at 360-659-2576 or via email at mevans@ bgcsc.org. You may also visit the Club’s website at www.bgcsc.org/marysvillebgc.aspx for more information.

Ken Baxter memorialized in Marysville Maryke Burgess, who works out of the Ken Baxter Community Center, managed to fight back her tears until the very end of her remarks about Ken, whom she described as a valuable community resource of information, experience and advice even after the close of his 26 years on the Marysville City Council. “He was the historian of the group at the Flapjack,” Burgess said. “He was a straight shooter who was always smiling. Even if you got into it with each other, you’d still walk out the door as friends.” Burgess teased Ken’s widow, Joann, about how independent they were from each other. Burgess recounted how she’d repeatedly tried to get Ken to compliment Joann on her hair, but when Burgess spoke to Joann about it,

Joann told her, “I’m not done training Kenny yet. That’s why he’s still with me.” Former city of Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Mary Swenson, a city employee for more than 32 years, knew Ken Baxter for 35 years. “Ken loved Public Works,” Swenson said. “He knew where every pipe was buried in this city.” Swenson remembered how tickled Baxter had been when the city attorney had conferred upon him an honorary degree in “sewology,” for his knowledge of the city’s sewer systems. “Kenny knew Marysville because he was Marysville,” Swenson said.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville said goodbye to Ken Baxter on March 2. Baxter passed away on Feb. 20, at the age of 83, due to complications from a broken hip. Baxter’s coffin was marched in and out of the Marysville Church of the Nazarene by firefighters in recognition of his own 31 years as a volunteer firefighter. Baxter’s surviving daughter Marianne thanked the church and the firefighters for “going overboard” to make her father’s funeral special, while Ken’s youngest son Gary drew laughter from attendees for his tongue-in-cheek recollections of their family. Noting the number of Ken’s children who were born in November of their respective birth years, Gary Baxter admitted that, “There were some remarks about Valentine’s Day.” Gary Baxter likewise credited the closeness of their family with instilling in all of Ken’s children a love of boating, and contended that his own love of fast cars is probably owed to his dad as well. Gary recounted how the police had contacted Ken years ago, after connecting a much younger Gary to a series of drag races on Highway 9, which Ken didn’t tell Gary about until years later. “He never said it, but I think he was a little bit proud of me,” Gary Baker

laughed. Jim Shipman, an occasional member of Ken Baxter’s “Flapjack gang,” described Ken as a man who not only “got along with everybody,” but also made a regular morning practice out of putting away “the most gut-busting pancake plate you can imagine,” but only after coating the entire surface of the pancakes with jam. “I’ve seen saddle blankets smaller than those pancakes,” said Shipman, who expressed his gratitude to Ken for making him feel welcomed as a fellow volunteer firefighter before stepping down from local fire service himself. “He helped it grow and develop into what’s still one of the best fire departments in Washington state.” City of Marysville Recreation Coordinator

Luck won’t stop DUI arrests on St. Patrick’s Day Get Nailed” campaign, thanks to an overtime grant sponsored through the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. “With St. Patrick’s falling on a weekend, area liquor

establishments may have more customers drinking too much ‘green beer’ than in past years,” said Tracy McMillan, Snohomish County DUI and Target Zero manager. “We want to encourage those

choosing to celebrate to make plans ahead of time to get home safely.” Task Force members will be partnering with area establishments and making on-premise visits to be sure everyone gets home safely. Snohomish County — as well as King and Pierce counties — is partnering on the Target Zero Teams project and will use additional grant money to put more enforcement teams on roadways during this campaign. Data shows that between 2005 and 2011 in Washington state, 21 out of 39 traffic

deaths around the St. Patrick’s Day holiday, or 53.8 percent, involved an impaired driver. In 2010 in Snohomish County, 19 out of 32 traffic deaths involved an impaired driver, or 59 percent, higher than the state average of 238 out of 460, or 52 percent. “Alcohol not only dangerously impairs your driving skills, it also impairs your judgment,” said Conrad Thompson, chair of the Snohomish County DUI and Target Zero Task Force. “If you see friends or acquaintances under the influence of alcohol or drugs, make sure

you don’t let them get behind the wheel.” Law enforcement agencies in Snohomish County that will be participating include not only the Arlington, Marysville and Tulalip Tribal police departments, but also those of Bothell, Brier, Edmonds, Everett, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace and Mukilteo, as well as the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, the Washington State Patrol Target Zero Team and the Washington State Liquor Control Board.
