Local search dog receives national award

By Jessica Keller QA &

News editor

When Lincoln, a 5-year-old at-coated retriever, hears the bells on his orange King County Search Dogs vest jingle, he knows it is time to go to work.

Lincoln and owner/handler

Jon Izant volunteer for the King County Search Dogs, a unit of King County Search & Rescue that supports the King County Sheri ’s O ce in nding missing people. Lincoln is certi ed in air-scent search and rescue, where he works o -lead to try and nd a person by their scent. He is also cross-certi ed in human remains detection.

rough his work with KCSD, Lincoln successfully located two atrisk missing people with dementia in the last 18 months. Because of his success, the American Kennel Club Humane Fund awarded Lincoln with the 2022 Search & Rescue Award for Canine Excellence.

Each year, the AKC Humane Fund awards deserving dogs in ve categories: deserving dogs each

year in ve categories: uniformed service K-9; exemplary companion; therapy; service; and search and rescue.

“ e stories of some of these other dogs and trainers are pretty amazing,” Izant said. “It’s humbling to be among such company.”

Izant said the award was an “absolute surprise” and is a tremendous honor. A Queen Anne woman who loves at-coated retrievers heard about Lincoln and his work through KCSD and nominated him for the AKC award, Izant said.

Izant said it takes two to four years of training before a dog is ready to be certi ed in air scent search and rescue work. To be certied in Washington, Lincoln had to nd two people in 40 acres of dense woods in two hours, Izant said. To receive federal certi cation, a dog has to nd two people in 80 acres in two hours.

“I’ll say that, when you’re rst starting, it’s impossible,” Izant said.

And despite Lincoln’s success, most searches don’t result in a live nd, Izant said.

Plan for a busy holiday travel weekend

Congestion expected this week on major routes like I-5, I-90 and U.S. 2

By WSDOT

People preparing for festivities this season are urged to plan for winter weather and expect delays while traveling on state highways, waterways or railways.

One way to help ensure holiday magic isn’t dimmed by delays is to consult the Washington State Department of Transportation’s popular travel charts to determine best times to travel, including times to avoid if possible. e Interstate 5 Canadian border forecast is not included due to unreliable pandemic travel data the last several years. Travel charts are based on 2019 pre-pandemic volumes. e agency provides several tools to help prepare for winter travels – whether by vehicle, foot or sleigh: Look up real-time travel conditions for state highways or ferry routes online using the WSDOT website or track it on the WSDOT mobile app. Follow WSDOT’s social media accounts, such as Twitter and Facebook, for updates on potential crashes or road closures.

Pre-program 530 AM and 1610 AM to vehicle radios for highway advisory radio alerts.

Carry chains and other winter travel essentials. Check the WSDOT mountain passes webpage for information on pass updates or the latest chain or traction tire requirements. e Washington State Patrol has more information about traction tire regulations and chain alternatives.

Leave extra time for holiday and winter travel, slow down, leave extra space between vehicles when driving on snow or ice and watch for bicyclists or those using crosswalks.

Sign up for area-speci c news about road closures or incidents, whether close to home or areas that are part of holiday travel plans.

Cross-state travel and mountain passes

WSDOT reminds drivers to follow posted chain requirements and slow down on snow and ice. An online winter travel reminders video has tips on how to check traction tire treads, alternatives to chains and what to carrying vehicles during winter travel.

No construction is planned on most state roads from Friday to Monday – including on I-90 and Snoqualmie Pass. However, the usual holiday increase in trafc volumes means travelers should expect delays on I-90, especially eastbound on ursday and Friday and westbound on Monday and Tuesday. Text message alerts about signi cant delays on Snoqualmie Pass are available by texting the words “WSDOT Snoqualmie” to 468311.

Trains, airports and transit

Travelers making a trip by train, personal aircraft or bus also should plan ahead to avoid holiday delays: Amtrak Cascades passengers are encouraged to purchase tickets early and should plan to arrive at the station one hour before departure. Trains are running between Seattle and Eugene, Oregon, and between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia. Buses also are operating for travel between Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia, and between Seattle and Bellingham. Visit www. amtrakcascades.com/ or call 800-USA-RAIL for tickets.

WSDOT crews work around the clock clearing and treating highways throughout the state. Plow drivers must travel 35 mph or slower to apply de-icer or salt and to appropriately clear the roadway of snow. Snowplows also often use “tandem plowing” — staggered plows working together to clear an area more e ciently.

Several plows have been struck by motorists this winter, which is dangerous for everyone on roadways and also takes the plows o the road during storms. Plow drivers’ peripheral vision is limited while moving snow o roadways, so all drivers are reminded to give plows plenty of room to do their work and never pass on the right – or on either side if there’s not su cient room to do so safely.

Out-of-town travelers, including those using rental cars, can learn about toll roads and temporary account payment options on the Good To Go! visitors page.

Ferry travel

People boarding a state ferry by vehicle should prepare for long waits. With Christmas and New Year’s Day falling on a Sunday this year, the Friday and Saturday before each holiday are expected to be the busiest. Delays are possible in both directions on all routes. Customers can bypass vehicle lines by traveling as a walk-on passenger.

All riders should double check the sailing schedules as some routes are operating on timetables that are di erent than prior to the pandemic.

Last week, U.S. senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Patty Murray (D-Wash.), a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, announced that the Federal Transit Administration will award a $15 million grant to the City of Seattle to make the Seattle Center Monorail Station fully accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

In October, Cantwell and Murray both wrote letters to FTA urging their support of the project.

e money is being awarded through FTA’s All Stations Accessibility Program, which aims to make America’s oldest transit systems accessible to people with disabilities. Cantwell and Murray supported the funding for the new ASAP program through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

e program is funded at $1.75 billion over ve years. Since passage of the BIL last November, Washington state has received $3.7 billion for nearly 500 transportation projects.

“Every year, more than a million riders rely on the historic Seattle monorail to get them where they need to go. But for passengers with disabilities, the Seattle Center station just isn’t accessible,” Cantwell said in a press release. “ is project will level the station platform, improve the ramp to the platform, construct an elevator, and install tactile way nding features — all upgrades that will make riding the Seattle monorail a better experience for all.”

e Seattle Monorail, built in 1962, was the nation’s rst full-scale commercial monorail system. e quick, tra c-free ride between Seattle Center and downtown is still popular, attracting 1.1 million riders between January and August of 2022. Approximately 12 million people visit Seattle Center every year.

Currently, the only ADA-compliant access to the Seattle Center station platform is via a roundabout route through the Armory building — and when the Armory is closed, that route is closed, too. Also, because the platform edge and train door openings aren’t level, Monorail sta must place a portable ramp down for wheelchairs to safely enter or exit the train.

e project will improve accessibility by:

• Leveling the station platform;

• Improve the ramp from omas St to the platform to be ADA compliant;

• Creating a second accessible entrance that connects to the north side of the station, closer to attractions like McCaw Hall, the International Fountain, and the eater District;

• Improving tactile way nding for passengers who are blind or visually impaired ;

• Including more language options and translations;

• Improving lighting and pathways;

• Providing a vertical transportation options such a lift or elevator.

e total cost of the project is $23 million. In addition to the $15 million FTA grant, the project will receive $5 million from Move Ahead Washington and $3 million from the Puget Sound Regional Council.

Monorail station at Seattle Center will be fully accessible, thanks to $15M grant

Chocolate the star in this crowd-pleasing cookie

Cookies garner a lot of fanfare come the holiday season. They’re given as gifts, left out for Santa and shared with family and friends.

Rolled and cut cookies get the bulk of the attention, especially when frosted and decorated to perfection. But plenty of classic cookies are equally at home on holiday cookie plates or nestled in cookie jars.

This recipe for “Thick Chocolate Chunk

Cookies,” courtesy of “Live Well Bake Cookies” (Rock Point) by Danielle Rye creates huge, gooey cookies that are big on chocolate flavor. On occasions when chips won’t do, chocolate chunk cookies can add sweetness to any event.

WSDOT to end grace period for unpaid toll fees in March 2023

Courtesy WSDOT

The Washington State Department of Transportation will end its grace period for the suspension of late fees, civil penalties and registration holds for unpaid tolls on March 1, 2023.

Following the launch of the new Good To Go! system in July 2021, WSDOT paused charging late fees and civil penalties, along with requesting registration holds.

Most tolls that will be subject to late fees have remained unpaid after the initial bill was sent — which could have been more than a year ago. Most customers, roughly 90 percent, pay their tolls on time.

Pay By Mail customers with unpaid tolls are encouraged to act now to avoid late fees

When late fees and civil penalties return in March 2023, those who have an unpaid toll bill will receive a second bill with a $5 reprocessing fee. If the second bill remains unpaid, a $40 civil penalty will be assessed for each unpaid toll. If the civil penalty is not resolved, WSDOT will request a hold on the vehicle’s registration with the Department of Licensing.

At any point in this process, customers can contact Good To Go! to lower their bill if they pay the

outstanding tolls.

Customers with unpaid toll bills can take these steps to resolve their unpaid tolls:

The easiest way to make a payment is online at MyGoodToGo.com, where customers can pay their bill in full or choose to open an account at no cost and save $1.75 on each unpaid toll.

Those who cannot locate their bill should call Good To Go! customer service at 1-866-9368246. A representative can help locate any unpaid tolls if the customer provides the name and address listed on the vehicle’s registration with DOL, and the vehicle’s license plate number.

Drivers who believe they received a toll bill in error can file a dispute online at MyGoodToGo.com.

If a customer receives a civil penalty, they can call customer service to request a one-time waiver of fees and penalties. Customers who had fees and penalties waived before June 2021, have another opportunity under the new system to receive a onetime waiver.

In advance of March 1, 2023, toll bills and customer communications from Good To Go! will alert customers that fees are resuming and how to lower their bills.

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cubed into small pieces

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 1 bag semisweet chocolate chunks

1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the cubed cold butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together for 2 to 3 minutes, or until well combined.

4. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, making sure to stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

5. Mix the dry ingredients until just combined, then mix in the chocolate chunks on low speed until fully incorporated.

6. Using a 1/3-cup measuring cup, measure out the balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave a little room between each one.

7. Cover the cookie dough balls tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

9. Remove the baking sheets from the refrigerator and bake the cookies for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 15 minutes, then carefully transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

“A search mission is not like everybody rushing out and looking for Easter eggs,” Izant said.

How a search works

When Izant and Lincoln are called to help nd a missing person, the searches are well coordinated and plotted out, with each search and rescue team assigned to a speci c zone to look. Not nding someone is actually quite important, Izant said, because if a target area comes up empty, search coordinators can cross o that section and know to direct their attention to other areas.

On a search mission, Izant, Lincoln and a spotter head out into their zone, and Izant directs Lincoln to search. Lincoln will then run ahead 200 to 300 yards sni ng the area, trying to hit upon a scent. When Lincoln nds a person’s scent, he returns to Izant, hits a target hanging from Izant’s pocket and then shows Izant and the spotter

where the subject is.

“We’ve had days where he has covered over 26 miles,” Izant said.

Following each training session or successful mission, regardless of whether Lincoln nds a missing person, Izant rewards Lincoln with a rousing game of fetch.

“He lives for the ball,” he said.

Izant and Lincoln have participated in 26 searches this year and 90 overall. When needed, KCSD will assist in searches outside King County through mutual aid, and Izant said he and Lincoln have gone everywhere from Pierce, Snohomish and Whatcom counties in western Washington, to Yakima on the eastern side of the state.

Each search is a little different, Izant said. A search that results in a live nd is “amazing,” he said, and the feeling hard to describe.

“It’s when you’re in the car driving home when you realize ‘Oh my God, my little puppy just saved someone,’”

Izant said.

Perfect for searching

Izant said at-coated retrievers make wonderful search and rescue dogs because they were originally bred to retrieve upland game, and their long coats are suitable for searching in brush. As well, they are friendly, intelligent and energetic, Izant said, and most have perfect temperaments for search and rescue work. ey can be stubborn and will get into trouble if they are not given regular mental and physical stimulation, he said.

“If they don’t get some sort of directed exercise regularly, they’ll make up their own, and you won’t like it,” Izant said.

To keep Lincoln in top form, Izant takes him for frequent hikes and regular training exercises with other KCSD members. Although Lincoln has two live- nds to his name, he is no more or less skilled than other dogs in the KCSD team, Izant said, adding many of Lincoln’s

canine colleagues are equally deserving of being recognized.

“KCSD has a number of wonderful dogs and skilled handlers, so this award is really a tribute to the KCSD training program and the many regional colleagues who regularly share their expertise,” he said in an email.

With the Award for Canine Excellence, Lincoln will receive a medal and a year’s worth of free dog food. Izant and Lincoln will also be awarded $1,000, which Izant will donate to King County Search Dogs because it is an all-volunteer non-pro t that depends on community support and donations.

“So, this donation is going to go help train new search dogs, so I’m very happy about that,” Izant said.

e AKC ACE award show will be shown at 11:30 a.m. Saturday on KOMO Channel 4.
