The annual Easter egg hunt is designed for kids 8 and under, but the many family-friendly activities are fun for all ages. By Savannah Perkins savannah@northcountyoutlook.com At 10 in the morning on Saturday the sun was shining, and so were the smiling, happy faces of children running around Jennings Park for this year’s Easter Egg Hunt. The parking lots at the park were overflowing with cars, with many taking advantage of the overflow lot at Marysville Middle School. The park itself was bustling with members of the Marysville community, an indication that this annual event has become a tradition for many local families. Activities ranged from the initial Easter egg hunt to face painting and photo opportunities with the Easter bunny. Seed packets were also handed out to encourage the community to start planting seeds and reap the benefits of having a garden during this spring season. “We have come here for the Easter Egg Hunt every year,” said eight-year-old Ella Merenes as she excitedly opened each of her eggs. “There are so many people and it is a lot of fun.” The free family event, organized by the Marysville Parks and Recreation De- partment, featured more than 12,000 plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes hidden around Jennings Park Rotary Ranch and Master Garden. Children were able to collect eight eggs from their designated age-specific area. All participants were asked to bring a canned food item for donation to the Marysville Food Bank, which added to the joyful atmosphere. The City of Marysville, Marysville Noon Rotary, Steve Fulton State Farm Insurance and Grandview Village all came together to help this kid-friendly celebration of Easter be a success. staff photo by savannah perkins n A local family gets together to compare baskets after kids in each age group scoured the park for hidden eggs. SR 530 may not re-open until fall and the one-lane gravel access road may be used as a temporary solution for traffic, according to WSDOT officials at an April 16 meeting. Washington State Department of Transportation engineers and county officials discussed the current plans around SR 530 and traffic solutions at the Stillaguamish Senior Center. Officials used the meeting to gather public opinion, said Linea Laird, WSDOT chief engineer. “This is just the first phase of the process with you,” she said. The meeting, along with two others, was meant to gather concerns and questions. Staff at the transportation agency intend to continue the public dialogue in the near future, she said. Temporary Solutions The current plan to provide temporary relief for local traffic is to use the gravel one-lane access road (a.k.a. the “power line road”), says WSDOT Snohomish/King County assistant regional administrator Todd Harrison. The road was constructed for use by Seattle City Light for maintenance. The two-mile long stretch leaves SR 530, curves around the debris area and connects back to SR 530.

This is 20 percent of the total funds, which is the maximum allowable by federal law to be spent on planning and administration. Four other local organizations will receive the remaining funds. Senior Services of Snohomish County will receive $65,000 to support their home repair program. The organization’s program assists low-income seniors and disabled homeowners by providing healthand safety-related repairs that they are unable to perform on their own. They expect to perform about 60 repairs a year with the funds. The Beachwood Apartments from Housing Hope provide housing and services to individuals and families at risk of homelessness. Their support services will receive $17,700 to help with case management, adult education, employment training and parent support. They expect to help about 20 families with these funds. Legal advocates for victims of domestic violence will be provided by the Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County. The $15,000 program gives victims additional support in finding services and navigating the justice system. The Volunteer Chore Services program from Catholic Community Services was granted $5,000 to help lowincome seniors or functionally disabled adults with their housework and errands. 1303102R Qu il C ed a 1303102R 360.386.8670 E • Tulalip Liquor on Marine Drive by Chevron • Quil Ceda Liquor in Quil Ceda Village • Tulalip Bingo on 88th Street • Fanny’s Restaurant on Cedar Ave. • E&E Lumber on State Ave. • Priest Point Grocery on Marine View Drive • Carr’s Hardware on 3rd Street • North County Outlook Office on State Ave. Ave N IN MARYSVILLE: You may be interested in Are you uncomfortable learning about products that withmarketcanrisk? provide income Are you uncomfortable during retirement. withmarket risk? 33rd Outlook IN ARLINGTON: works to ensure decent affordable housing, to provide services to the most vulnerable in our communities, and to create jobs through the expansion and retention of businesses,” according to HUD’s website.

Once they release the road it will be open for public use shortly after, perhaps within a day, said Harrison. The road is not ideal, said Laird. There are no guard rails and it has steep grades and sharp curves. For safety reasons it would only be open during daylight hours and the speed limit would be about 10 mph, said Harrison. Currently WSDOT officials are planning to allow one direction of traffic access to the road at the beginning of every hour and the opposite direction to be given access at the beginning of every half hour, said Harrison. A contract for a company to manage that traffic flow is out for bid now. Only local traffic would be allowed access, although the specifics of that provision aren’t nailed down, said Harrison. Allowing heavy trucks through the access road will be possible, but will create complications if they’re next to small cars, said Laird. Although heavy trucks are important for Darrington, she added. “How do we solve both issues with one road? That’s going to be our challenge,” she said. Future of SR 530 The Arlington to Darrington portion of SR 530 may not be open again until the fall, said Lorena Eng, regional administrator for the northwest region for WSDOT. Snohomish County public works director Scott Thompson (left) and WSDOT chief engineer Linea Laird answer questions about SR 530 and the Oso landslide during a April 16 meeting in Arlington. Recovery efforts take first priority at the site, Laird said. “One of the things we’ve heard at family meetings, especially from those who still have missing family members, is that they want the recovery effort to continue,” said Eng. There’s still about 100,000 cubic yards of material on the road, she said, and that mud has to be removed slowly and carefully. “It is a very slow process. You are using smaller equipment. We’re using spotters so every scoop is looked at and moved away. It’s part of the recovery effort and there are things that are of value still there,” she said. WSDOT officials aren’t exactly sure what they will find once they’ve uncovered the road either. They know that pieces of asphalt with yellow stripes, likely pieces of SR 530, have already been recovered, so at least some parts of the highway will need to be rebuilt, said Eng. Changes in the Stillaguamish River must also be taken into account when rebuilding SR 530. The bottom of the river has been raised by as much as ten feet in some places, she said, and officials are unsure what the final course of the river will look like. The new SR 530 is probably going to take the same path as the previous one. Eng said their geologists examined the historic slide deposits, going back thousands of years, and found that there wasn’t much improvement that could be done. “What we found actually is that SR 530 is probably in the best location given the geology of the area and the fact that it is in the bottom of a valley,” said Eng. Property Values Those with property in the slide area were concerned if property values would ever recover. Some were concerned about potential changes to SR 530 that could affect access, although maintaining accessibility was important, said county officials. “One of the things the state has talked about is, regardless of where the road ends up, maintaining access to all the private property that is in there,” said Steve Thompson, director of public works in Snohomish County. Property owners were also concerned about if the mud will be moved, but the amount of material might prove difficult. Although the debris piles that workers are creating will be removed, there are no plans to move the immense amount of mud and material still on the land, said Thompson. “You’ve got 5 million cubic yards [of material] in the valley floor that’s all on private property and most of that’s going to stay,” he said. “The sheer volume there is just too much.” The main problem is that currently they have no funding source that could handle that work, said Thompson. Laird said that the problem of moving the material is something they haven’t approached yet, because they are dealing with recovery efforts and restoring at least minimal transportation options right now.

The Eagles fell by a score of 9-0 to league rival Snohomish last week, struggling offensively against the league’s only unbeaten squad, but head coach Dan Eng is pleased with his team’s performance regardless. “This was the game I was looking forward to, to see where we were at after the first half of the season,” Eng said. “We’re rebuilding this year, we’re doing fine. We saw some mistakes—five of their runs were unearned— so we’ll grow from there.” Chandler Bishop (3-1) got the start for the Eagles, and wasn’t able to contain the Panthers’ mighty offense, giving up six runs in three innings.

It’s just the second time the Eagles have been shut out this season; the first was in March against Lake Washington. Arlington closed out last week with a huge 15-0 win against Mariner, and hosted Lynnwood earlier this week. After the loss to the Panthers, the Eagles’ league tally dropped to 4-1, good for second place in the North 4A. Unbeaten Snohomish is in first. Katelyn McDonald, the team’s captain and first baseman, continues to supply Arlington with the bulk of its offense. The senior slugger has tallied six doubles so far this season, and managed three hits off Snohomish’s Alissa Simons last week. “Alissa Simons is a very good pitcher,” said Eng, who coaches Simons in the sum- Pet mer on his club team. “She moves the ball around and she’s very accurate. You’ve got to hit the right pitch at the right time. It’s very difficult.” But for the left-handed McDonald, Eng said, everything has been going right this season. “She is seeing the ball good and hitting really well,” Eng said. “She is a great hitter. I wish I had five more (lefties) like Katelyn.” With just nine games left on Arlington’s schedule, including this afternoon’s contest at Kamiak, Eng and his Eagles are preparing for a close battle in the Wesco North 4A. Lake Stevens is still in the mix, but Snohomish looks to be the team to beat. “We have to give them credit,” Eng said of the Panthers last week. “They’re full of seniors and they’re on a mission. Last year they missed it by one game and they’re getting it done this year.” Building A Bond For Life. Mouser P.O.

It might be a rebuilding year for the Arlington High School golf team, but don’t count Aiden McCann and the Eagles out just yet. “This year is a rebuilding year,” Arlington head coach Kevin Coghill said. “As the season progresses, I do believe a couple of our players will improve enough to make it to the district tournament at the end of the year.” After a successful season in 2013 that saw a secondplace finish in the league and a district tournament appearance, several key parts of Arlington’s varsity squad left to graduation. McCann, the team’s captain, and Gus Abel are the two lone seniors on this year’s iteration of Eagles. ‘Youth’ and ‘potential’ are two things the Eagles have in great supply this year, and Coghill is doing all he can to help his team be the best they can be. “We have some kids on varsity who have a lot of potential,” Coghill said, “but they need to fine-tune their games and need more competitive experience in order to compete with some of the top players in our league.” Leading the way, both on the course and off, is McCann. He’s been playing golf for just a few years, but McCann has impressed his coach with natural talent and leadership. It wasn’t until late last year that McCann fully realized that he was actually a pretty good golfer. “I didn’t have the best scores all year,” McCann said about his 2013 season at Arlington, “but at districts I shot an 85 the first day and I made the cut, which I never expected to do. That is when I realized that I had the potential to play a lot better Mouser is a BIG, handsome 2 yr old boy who loves to be pet.

Anita Wuellner Member Washington Newspaper Publishers Association staff photo by andrew kneeland n Aiden McCann lines up a perfect putt at Gleneagle Golf Course last Thursday. than I was.” McCann tallied two birdies through the first two holes last Thursday at Glen eagle Golf Course, but as sheets of rain poured down on the sloppy course, everyone’s scores took a turn for the worse. “I feel like all aspects of my game are pretty good, but my strengths change in any given round,” McCann said. “One day I’ll be perfect off the tee and on the green but my wedge play will be sloppy. But the next day (it will be the opposite). What I’m focusing on in practice is … to have all aspects of my game going well in any given round.” McCann has nothing but good things to say about his coach. “Kevin is a great coach,” McCann said. “He knows how to practice very well and how to shave off strokes just by bettering one part of your game, such as chipping. All of us have different parts of our game that we need to work on, so on certain days we get to go out on the course and really focus on practicing our weak points.” Coghill and two local pros—John Kelley and Darren Tucker—are investing the hours into this group of high school golfers, and the high schoolers return the favor by investing hours into a group of even younger golfers. Each Friday the team will hold a clinic with the local Boys and Girls Club to help teach the kids the basics of how to hit a golf ball. Coghill is the athletic director of the club. Arlington tees off in Lynn wood this afternoon, and will travel to Lake Stevens early next week for another chance to test themselves against their tough Wesco opponents.

Call 360-659-1100 The Marysville Getchell boys’ soccer team is riding a lengthy losing streak, but they’ve proven competitive against the tough teams on their schedule. Getchell gave Glacier Peak a run for their money last weekend, but ultimately fell to the unbeaten Grizzlies by a score of 4-0. The Chargers were on the defensive for much of the game, but kept Glacier Peak scoreless in the first half. Freshman goalkeeper Conor Beegle racked up seven or eight saves in the game’s first 40 minutes of action, but his team wasn’t able to capitalize on any of its infrequent scoring threats. A frustrated Glacier Peak squad came out in the second half ready for action, however, and scored three quick goals within eight minutes of each other. Getchell’s record fell to 2-8 overall, and 1-6 among North 3A opponents. With the league-leaders consistently beating each other, though, the Chargers are only two games out of first place. They hosted Mount- staff photo by andrew kneeland n Getchell senior Hunter Wood (#9) battles for the ball against Glacier Peak last Friday at MGHS. lake Terrace earlier this week, and travel to Oak Harbor on Friday. Next week, Getchell plays host to cross-town rivals Pilchuck, when it will have a great chance to vault back into contention in the Wesco 3A. Masons congratulate local students staff photo by christopher andersson n Students from the Lakewood School District and Marysville School District were recognized by the Marysville Freemasons during their Junior Achievement Night on April 15. By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville Freemasons recognized local students during their 37th annual Junior Achievement Night on April 15. Juniors from the Lakewood School District and the Marysville School District submitted applications for the award and a committee of Masons selected students based on academic achievement, community involvement and school activities. At the Marysville Crystal Lodge, 24 students from four high schools were honored for their achievements. Two students received a $500 scholarship towards further education as well. “Crystal Lodge has been part of Marysville for some 113 years now,” said Mason and master of ceremonies for the night Daniel Harper. “[The lodge] has been a supporter of our local teachers and students such as this, the Junior Awards Achievement Night, scholarship programs and outreach programs.” Masons have a long history supporting students, said Harper. “One of the things that our founding fathers believed in, many of whom were Masons, was that every citizen should have the right to a good education. To that end, our public education system was established. Masons have in the past supported that school system and will continue to do so,” he said. facebook.com/NorthCountyOutlook Twitter: @ncoutlook North County Schools April 23-April 29, 2014 North County Outlook 7 Marysville students learn manufacturing skills Part one in a series on local career and technical education: The Penguin Manufacturing Lab. By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Penguin Manufacturing Lab hosts many traditional woodworking and metal-working tools, but also introduces students to the computer machinery that makes up modern manufacturing. Students are used to seeing computers as something abstract, but the class helps them bring the computer work into “real-life,” said Marcus Knowles, the Arts and Technology teacher who runs the lab. “When a kid sees a computer do something they designed, that really is what opens their eyes to the possibilities,” he said. The lab is on State Avenue and was formerly part of the Totem Middle School campus. Students come to shape wood and metal with numerous tools including a CNC machine used to cut computer-designed shapes in wood. staff photo by christopher andersson n A&T student Jaeson Wilkes works on his metal pencil holder at the Penguin Manufacturing Lab. They make a wide variety of projects, from wood bill boxes and metal pencil holders in the basic manufacturing classes, to their own projects in the advanced classes and STEM Club. Colton King, one of Knowles’ students, said he appreciates the class because he really gets to work with his hands. He’s currently building a guitar, which he says involves a lot of research if he wants it to sound good. The free-ranging nature of the advanced classes gives students the opportunity to not only pick their own projects but figure them out on their own as well, said Colton. Student Demri Lewis says that sense of trust can be uplifting. “They [the teachers] believe we can make things,” she said. However, students aren’t afraid to seek assistance when it’s needed. “Another thing you learn in this class is how to yell because you’re always screaming for ‘Knowles’ over the machines when you need help,” said Colton. Running into their own problems and learning how to deal with them is an essential skill that’s hard to replicate in other classes, says Knowles. “You can’t get frustrated at welding by reading about it. There’s no welding book about all the challenges of actually doing it,” he said Actually working with the tools and materials is different from interpreting ideas on pages, said student Joel Scott. “We get to think spatially, instead of just on paper. It challenges my brain in a way that two dimensions don’t,” he said. It’s a good way to prepare to become an aerospace engineer, he noted. Reaching into his pocket, Joel pulled out his most recent project—a one-inch metal cube that is manufactured to tolerances within 1/3000ths of an inch. Learning about engineering tolerance (how exact your measurements must be) is an important part of his classes, said Knowles, as students realize how they would apply different standards depending on what they’re making. For example, in the aerospace industry, parts tend to be made to a very precise standard with low tolerance, he said. The STEM Club and other students also help build items that will be used by the community, sometimes as part of their senior project. Student Grant Baker is currently working on a bench for Totem Middle School. He’s completed a couple other benches for the school already. Other students have manufactured products like recycling bins and a cage-like device to help move deer for the Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington. Last fall students helped Marysville’s Cedarcrest Golf Course conduct a watershed study. For real-life experience they work with local manufacturing companies like Frank Lumber and Silicon Energy, according to Knowles. As a bonus, students are often exposed to internship opportunities available in many of those businesses, he said. The “Core Plus” curriculum that the lab uses was designed by the aerospace industry and helps prepare students for real-world applications of skills. “The whole point of my job is to get these kids good jobs,” said Knowles. “These kids have the skills to get jobs. They shouldn’t have to start out at McDonalds or some other place when they graduate.” 8 April 23-April 29, 2014 North County Outlook North County Communities www.northcountyoutlook.com Students help restore Allen Creek, study local ecology 61st ANNUAL Gem, Jewelry & Mineral Show May 3 & 4, 2014 Saturday 9 am - 5 pm Sunday 10 am - 5 pm Everett Community College Student Fitness Center 2206 Tower Street Everett www.everettrockclub.com FREE ADMISSION!

The trees and vegetation which the site lacks would provide shade, which can cool the water and provide a good habitat for fish. Members of Project SeaWolf have been taking the Marysville students got down in the dirt to plant trees near Allen Creek in an effort to restore valuable streamside vegetation. On April 18, fourth and fifth graders from the Marysville Cooperative Education Program teamed up with Project SeaWolf and Adopt a Stream Foundation to plant 1,400 trees at the Wilcox Farm next to Allen Creek. The foundation has orga- Marysville Cooperative Education Program out to plant trees for about a decade and partnered with the foundation this year. Michael Kundu, director of Project SeaWolf, explained that the organization’s main goal is to support the Orca population, and building strong habitats for fish helps provide food for Orcas.

Saturday, April 26 • 9 am to Noon (or until the truck’s full) n THE WHISTLING GARDENER Understanding organic gardening Back in my hippydippy days of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, I was a devoBy Steve Smith tee of the organic gardening movement, with subscriptions to Rodale’s Organic Gardening Magazine along with Prevention and Mother Earth News. My favorite cookbooks were “Diet for a Small Planet” and Adelle Davis’s “Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit.” I had a fabulous organic garden and a very large compost pile, but my passion was far from mainstream. Fast forward 40 years and I am pleased to say that organic gardening and eating healthy have indeed become the norm and it is very gratifying to see this happening. Here is a quick overview of the essence of what organic gardening is all about. Sign up for our class this coming Saturday at 10 a.m. and learn all the ins and outs of this gardening style. At the heart of the organic gardening movement is the acknowledgement that a healthy soil will produce a healthy plant and as long as we focus on keeping our soil healthy, we will have far less insect and disease issues to deal with and our crops will actually be more nutritious. Feed the soil and not the plant. A healthy soil consists of a chemical, physical and biological component. The chemical part refers to the nutrient content, the physical part refers to the structure and texture as in sand, silt or clay and organic material, and the biological part refers to all those microscopic critters that we can’t see but we also can’t live without. It is the biological component that for the most part organic gardening is concerned with. We need to understand that there is a close association between plants and soil organisms. In the soil we can find fungi, bacteria, protozoa and arthropods to name a few. The fungi colonize plant roots and extend the root system into the surrounding soil. The relationship is beneficial because the plant enjoys improved nutrient and water uptake, disease resistance and superior survival and growth. Here’s how it works. Mycorrhizal fungi attach themselves to plant roots and increase the absorptive ability of roots 10-1000 times. Mycorrhizae are capable of releasing into the soil powerful chemicals that dissolve hard to capture nutrients like phosphorus and iron. Mycorrhizae also release antibiotics into the soil that immobilize and kill disease organisms, and they increase the ability of plants to take up water resulting in increased drought tolerance. Mycorrhizal fungi improve soil structure by releasing humic compounds and organic “glues” that bind soil particles into aggregates, thus improving porosity. Soils with poor porosity tend to become waterlogged and disease prone. As you can see, these little guys do a tremendous job of keeping our plants healthy and thriving. The good news is that, as gardeners, we can improve the biological component of our soils by adding compost on a yearly basis and incorporating organic fertilizers like E.B. Stone Organics that have been fortified with the addition of mycorrhizae. Paying attention to the biological element of our soils is just plain good stewardship. Healthy soils make for healthy plants. Whether we are growing flowers and shrubs for our landscaping enjoyment or vegetables for our culinary pleasure, we need to remember the critical role of soil organisms. In this complex environment we live in, it’s the little things that make the world go around. We’re just along for the ride.

Marysville-Pilchuck High School Drama Club presents the hit musical “Little Shop of Horrors” in the MPHS auditorium April 24-26 and May 1-3 at 7:30 p.m. The show, which was also made into a hit movie, is the story of a poor young man named Seymour Krelbourn, an underappreciated worker at a run-down flower shop on Skid Row, who obtains a mysterious alien plant that develops a monstrous appetite. As he feeds the carnivorous plant, his own life begins to improve…but at what cost? The show was written by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the musical duo responsible for “The Little Mermaid”, “Aladdin” and “Beauty and the Beast.” But unlike their other works, “Little Shop of Horrors” is not suitable for small children. The cast for this show is a mix of Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell students including Sebastian LaRocque as Seymour, Hanna Rudd as Audrey, David Brown as Orin, Atrayu Sweet as Mushnik, Raven Paull as Audrey II, Sheridan Hedman as Chiffon, Sage Fairbanks as Crystal and Jessica Hamilton as Ronnette. courtesy photo n The cast of “Little Shop of Horrors includes (from left to right) Sage Fairbanks, Sheridan Hedman, Jessica Hamilton, Sebastian LaRocque and Hanna Rudd. The Drama Club began working on the show in the middle of January and has dedicated many hours to the success of this challenging musical. “One of my favorite parts about this show, aside from watching my students grow as actors, has been working with the four different plant puppets,” said Roy Klemensten, MP teacher and show director. “They range in size from a little foot-tall plant that sits on a table to the massively large plants that sing and interact with the actors. I’ve developed a real appreciation of the art of puppetry from this show.” Tickets, available at the door, are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors.

Durnell 65, of Arlington, WA, lost his life in the Oso landslide Saturday, March 22, 2014. The landslide completely destroyed the home he shared with his wife, Debbie who was not at home when the event occurred. He was born November 3, 1948, in Eugene, Oregon, to James R. and Jane Ballard Durnell. He graduated from South Eugene High School and studied stagecraft at Lane Community College. After a brief stint in retail sales he spent his career in carpentry and woodworking. He worked constructing sets for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland, Oregon; toured the U.S. with 1st Chamber Dance Company as stage manager, and worked for theatres in Minneapolis, MN and Seattle, WA as well as television station KCTS in Seattle. He finished his career with nearly 20 years as a member of Central Puget Sound Carpenters Local 30, most of them working for Surgent Inc. of Woodinville and Redmond, WA. He retired in 2010. In 2010 he married the former Debbie Nelson. They lived briefly in Snohomish before moving to the house on Steelhead Drive. He was a stepfather to five children and a delighted and beloved grandfather to seven. To quote from his Facebook page: “I have three daughters and two sons and while my investment in them is in love and wisdom rather than genetics, that suits me just fine.” Although his musical tastes were eclectic, Tom was a serious collector of western swing and “roots” country music in particular and was well respected in music circles for his deep knowledge of those genres. His indexed and digitized collection of more than 10,000 recorded songs going back as far as the 1920s, is part of his legacy to his fellow aficionados. A memorial fund has been set up to benefit Debbie at http://www.gofundme. com/7ypl4o. A private memorial service will occur on May 3rd.

He served in the Air Force for twenty years as an aircraft maintenance supervisor in Keflavik, Iceland and Montgomery, AL.

Peter Teske, a detective with the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s office, noted that “people think sex trafficking means foreign girls in shipping containers, or the menacing driver of that white, windowless van who abducts people off street corners.” That’s not the true picture, as those in attendance at the Tuesday night meeting learned. Most of the time, the young purveyors are not being held against their will. But it doesn’t mean that the minors who are involved with the sex trade—prostitution, pornography or stripping—are any less victims. In fact, as several panelists pointed out, it’s not necessary to prove force, fraud or coercion to prosecute those who take advantage of minors in this underground industry. Under the law, minors can’t consent to sexual activities. The statistics are chilling. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 100,000 American children are victimized every year. The average age of entry into the dark world of the sex trade is 12 to 14 years old. Here in Snohomish County, 43 juveniles were identified as trafficking last year, according to Teske. One of the big problems in combating the problem is that many mi- nors engaged in prostitution don’t think of themselves as victims. They think their pimp is their boyfriend, and they don’t seek help. Cocoon House is reaching out to atrisk teens, offering safe shelter, counseling, employment and education help, and a second chance. From the nonprofit’s traditional shelters, which serve 13- to 17-year-olds, to “drop-in centers,” a teen mom home in Arlington, and transitional housing for those up to age 18, Cocoon House is helping many Snohomish County teens find an alternative to life on the streets or under the “protection” of a pimp. Editor, I’m sure I speak for everyone in our area, and across the country, who have watched with growing sadness as the number of mudslide victims climbs. What an inconceivable tragedy for all concerned, and for the communities that are connected via that now impassable highway. Recovery will be a long, hard road. But I’ve also been buoyed by the response of our small communities. People of ordinary means have stepped up in so many different ways to support the grieving families, those who were displaced by the slide, and all the hundreds of workers who are toiling in that hellish landscape to bring closure. Beyond the significant cash donations, folks have contributed clothing, household goods, furniture, vehicles and more. In fact, the response to need was so fast and widespread, these contributions quickly outpaced the ability to distribute and store hard goods. Gas cards have helped Darrington residents offset the additional costs of commuting around the closed highway, even if that hasn’t helped mitigate the extra hours. We expect the Red Cross to step up in an emergency like this, but it’s been gratifying to see our own local hospital, Cascade Valley, become leaders in the effort to collect and disburse monetary donations without taking a “cut” for administrative costs. All around us, we’re reminded daily of the ongoing grief that grips local families, neighbors and friends. But as the yellow ribbons indicate, hope persists. Oso strong. And Arlington and Darrington strong. Bob Petrie Arlington Cocoon House is also partnering with several other agencies for the “Safe Place” program, with bus drivers trained to respond to teens who see the yellow diamond logos and ask for help. “We’ve received 80 calls since November,” said Julio Cortez of Cocoon House. Paula Newman-Skomski of the Sexual Exploitation and Intervention Network, is working to establish Peoria Home, which will house a two-year residential recovery program for women who have been victimized and exploited through sex trafficking and prostitution. Snohomish County is fortunate to have some resources for these “throwaway” kids. Teske is the only full-time investigator assigned to sex trafficking in the state. Even after a federal grant for his position ran out, Sheriff Ty Trenary recognized the need and arranged to fund the position. “This is not the rest of the world’s problem,” Teske told the assembled crowd. “It’s not Seattle’s problem. It’s on our doorstep.” Weekly Puzzles Fun by the Numbers Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes.

Customers are typically asked for personal information, such as Social Security identification or credit card numbers. The caller may provide victims with a fraudulent bank routing number with which to pay their utility bills. Customers who receive a phone call asking for financial information related to their bill should never provide this information, Neroutsos noted. The PUD never calls customers to collect credit card information over the phone. The only time a credit card number is taken over the phone is through a third-party bill payment service. In this case, the phone call and payment is initiated by the customer by calling 1-888-909-4628.

It is easy to prepare and layered with great flavors. This recipe uses one of my favorite ingredients, local wild mushrooms. I enjoy their earthy characteristics and you can switch them up based on what is in season. The rosemary butter works well with any cut of steak or chicken. The perfect accompaniment is roasted or mashed potatoes, but a nice risotto or rice also works. Light up the BBQ and have some fun with it! Serves five Grilled Flat Iron Steaks with Rosemary Mustard Butter, Hedgehog Mushrooms and Roasted Grape Tomatoes Ingredients 5 six-ounce flat iron steaks 4 ounces rosemary mustard butter 2 sprigs rosemary (optional) 1 cup grape tomatoes 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 pound hedgehog mushrooms (or favorite), sliced 1/4 cup white wine 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped 1/4 teaspoon thyme, dry or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme Salt and pepper to taste and cook the steaks to the preferred doneness (turn them to make cross marks on both sides). Toss tomatoes in half of the olive oil and season with about a 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Place on a Method Season steaks as desired with salt and pepper. Place on a hot charcoal or gas grill baking sheet and roast at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. Time them to complete when the steaks finish. Pour remaining oil into a hot sauté pan and heat for about 1 minute. Add garlic and thyme, stir briefly. Add hedgehog mushrooms and season with about a 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add white wine and 1 ounce of rosemary butter and continue sautéing until the wine evaporates. Remove from heat and place on a serving platter with the grilled steaks. Top the steaks with roasted grape tomatoes and a 1/2 ounce coin slice of rosemary mustard butter. Garnish with fresh rosemary. Rosemary Mustard Butter Yields 1-1/4 pounds 1 pound butter, salted 1/3 cup fresh rosemary, chopped Quil Ceda Village 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 2 tablespoons dijon mustard 1 tablespoon mustard, brown or whole grain 2 teaspoons seasoning salt Method Soften butter by leaving it at room temperature for a few hours. Place in a mixing bowl or food processor. Add all of the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth (scrape the sides to make sure it is completely mixed). Place on a large piece of wax paper or foil and roll into a 1-inch diameter round long tube. Twist the ends tight to hold shape. Reserve in the refrigerator (it can be made a few days ahead and stored in the refrigerator or freezer). Slice the butter tube into 1/4-inch chip slices and place on top of the steaks (this recipe makes more than needed).
