From spa visits and exercise regimes to outings at restau-rants and hotel stays — pet parents are including their animals in their own life-styles. Pet couture is just part of the natural progression of encompassing animals into a household’s de rigueur.

The tradition of dressing animals is long. Ancient Greek armies put leather boots on their horses’ feet to protect them against the snow. Working dogs don fl uorescent jackets.

Now dressing dogs is blos-soming into a booming in-dustry for boutiques, featur-ing fancy “furs” — including in South Snohomish County.

POINTS OF VIEW

POINTS OF VIEW

By Billy Frank Jr.

Salmon hatcheries are under attack by people with very short memories. They have forgotten why many hatcheries were built in the fi rst place.

Most were built to make up for lost natural salmon production caused by habitat damage and destruction. Today, more than half of the chinook and coho we harvest are hatchery fi sh. That’s a di-rect refl ection of the huge amount of nat-ural salmon production we have lost. We continue to lose more every day.

I think hatcheries are a necessary tool that we can use to help recover wild salmon while also providing limited har-vest opportunities. I wish we didn’t need hatcheries. I wish that salmon habitat in our rivers could produce abundant wild stocks, but it can’t.

In response to declining wild salmon runs, we have cut harvest to the point that more reductions will not contribute to salmon recovery. That’s because there isn’t enough good salmon habitat left to support natural salmon production.

Do hatcheries threaten wild salmon stocks? Of course there are risks associ-ated with hatchery programs. There is risk that the program might fail; risk that hatchery salmon will compete with wild salmon for food and space in our rivers; and risk that hatchery fi sh might affect wild salmon if they interbreed. These are all risks we must measure and balance, and under the science-driven Hatchery Reform effort of the past 12 years we have done just that.

Another risk we must measure is the risk to our treaty rights. We tribes depend on hatcheries to support our treaty fi sh-ing rights, to provide salmon for our ta-

bles, our cultures and our economies.All fi shermen — Indian and non-In-

dian — rely on hatcheries, because to some extent, hatcheries support all fi sh-eries. Some facilities produce fi sh for har-vest, which helps reduce fi shing pressure on naturally spawning salmon. Others are dedicated nurseries where weak wild stocks and their offspring are protected from disappearing altogether.

White River chinook wouldn’t be here today if not for hatcheries. By 1977, fi sh-blocking dams and other habitat losses resulted in only 66 adult chinook return-ing to the river. An egg bank was created that year to save White River spring chi-nook from extinction.

We were almost too late. In 1986 just six adults returned, but today those fi sh have a future. In 1989 the Muckleshoot Tribe’s White River Hatchery opened to protect, preserve and restore those spring chinook. Returns today number in the thousands every year. It’s a direct result of good hatchery management practic-es, habitat improvements in the upper watershed and cooperation by the tribes, state and others.

Don’t get me wrong. Tribes don’t pre-fer to rely on hatcheries for the salmon that are the foundation of our cultures and treaty rights. Hatcheries are not a long-term solution to salmon recovery. But when they are managed as part of a river’s ecosystem and are combined with conservative fi sheries and habitat im-provements, they can be effective tools that provide fi shing opportunities for ev-eryone.

But we can’t forget that the true path to salmon recovery requires that we protect and repair habitat. It always has, because habitat is the key to salmon recovery.

Hatcheries are necessary tools

Gabriella Mercado is Trouble.The 6-year-old Lynnwood girl

hasn’t done anything wrong; she plays the role in Seattle Opera’s “Madama Butterfl y,” which opened May 5.

“It’s just a name,” Gabriella said. “It doesn’t mean I’m getting in trouble.”

Gabriella’s opera debut was seen by fans in McCaw Hall, and for the fi rst time in Seattle Opera history, on a big-screen simulcast in KeyArena.

In Puccini’s great tragic opera, the kindergartner is the son of Butterfl y, a Japanese geisha, and Pinkerton, an American lieutenant. The story por-trays the couple’s passion, and then the American’s betrayal, ultimately leading to Butterfl y’s heart-breaking suicide. “I’m supposed to act sad,” Gabriella said.

While she may not fully under-stand the plot, she certainly appre-ciates the emotions. “It feels like (Butterfl y) really loves me, like I’m her own daughter playing a son,” Gabriella said.

Casting young children in the opera dates back to its early 20th century debut. The name Trouble is even older. It comes from the story by American John Luther Long on which the opera is based. In the opera, the child is called Sorrow and Joy. Backstage, she’s still Trouble.

Although this is Gabriella’s fi rst opera performance, it’s not her stage debut. She had a role in Driftwood Player’s recent production of “The King and I.” That’s where a Seattle Opera producer spotted Gabriella and invited her to try out for Trouble.

Dressed in a boy’s football shirt and jeans, her long hair tied back, Gabriella won over the cast and directors at her early April audition. In preparation for the role, Gabriella had 10 inches of her hair trimmed. She donated the cuttings to Locks of Love, a group that makes hairpieces for children in need.

Other preparations included help-ing Gabriella understand a bit, but not too much, of the opera’s story. Her acting job requires her to move, sleep and stare, sometimes keeping still for several minutes.

It can be disorienting for kids to

be on stage. Opera singers belt out arias, bright lights illuminate the set, and a booming orchestra and cheer-ing crowds can upset children, stage director Peter Kazarus said. Opera history is full of disastrous stories of Troubles running off stage in tears. “With Gabriella I have no such con-

cerns,” Kazarus said. “She is a rock of Gibraltar.”

Gabriella’s parents, Jaime and Melanie Mercado, let the young girl decide if she wanted to pursue the stage. Prior to “Butterfl y” the most they knew about opera came from a contestant who sang an operatic aria on “America’s Got Talent.” They’ve since watched a DVD version of “Madame Butterfl y,” and immersed themselves in Gabriella’s rehearsals.

Playing for an audience of thou-sands is one thing. Staying up way past her usual bedtime another. Best of all, “At home I always have to have another meal,” Gabriella said.

Usually it’s noodles, but the open-ing night snack was more fi tting for a young diva: pizza and bread sticks.

Q: What does it take to blend your passion with your livelihood?

A: It sounds simple, but you have to fi nd something you enjoy doing and then go after it. It’s a bonus when you’re able to fi nd this life/work blend in the same small town.

Q: What are the crucial elements for success for your business?

A: We take great pride in running a family business. Reliable Floor Covering provides a high-quality product and pro-fessional installation, both of which are always guaranteed. Much of our custom-er base is repeat business (some over the course of 40-plus years) and referrals.

Q: What has been your biggest chal-lenge and how did you meet it?

A: The economy has not been kind to the construction industry. We have been servicing far more remodels than new home builds. You just have to adapt and move forward.

Q: How did your friends and family

react when you told them you were getting into this business?

A: I think it was always assumed we would go into the family business. And we did.

Q: What motivates you?A: Professionally, it’s helping our cus-

tomers fi nd the products they will en-joy in their homes for years to come. I

also want to feel confi dent that Reliable has left a favorable impression on each and every person that walks through our doors.

Q: What personal abilities do you think in needed to excel in this busi-ness?

A: It’s important to have a basic knowledge of construction and interior decorating, in addition to a greater un-derstanding and expertise on the prod-ucts we sell.

Q: When you’re not working, how do you enjoy spending your time?

A: Improving my golf game, which needs a lot of help. I also enjoy photog-raphy and gardening.

SCHOOLS

By Katie MurdochHerald writer

Edmonds Communi-ty College is on the map for its work to encourage more students to enter science, technology, engi-neering and mathematics fi elds, or STEM.

President Jean Her-nandez recently sat on a White House panel at an event geared at getting more high school girls into STEM careers. The event was streamed live online. Other panelists in-cluded a NASA astronaut and the lead engineer at Facebook.

“I wanted to pinch my-self. It was surreal to sit with a panel of dynamic women,” Hernandez said. “I was honored to be the only one in higher educa-tion on the panel.”

Hernandez was recom-mended for the panel by the U.S. Department of Education, college spokes-person Michele Graves said. EdCC popped up when a search revealed it has received a whopping 19 National Science Foun-dation grants, including a research grant on prov-en practices for recruiting women to STEM careers, a rare honor for a two-year college.

“It’s about the work Ed-monds Community Col-lege has done in the last 10 years,” Hernandez said. “It’s not about me. These types of opportunities don’t come along unless

you have the infrastruc-ture and faculty to support them.”

Hernandez was seated with NASA astronaut and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Cady Coleman; Jocelyn Goldfein, director of engi-neering at Facebook; and university student Bian-ca Bailey, president of the Howard University chap-ter of Engineers Without Borders.

About 100 girls from around the country at-tended the April 24 event

representing high schools and Girl Scout troops, she said. Girls interested in such liberal arts fi elds as English and graphic de-sign also attended.

They watched a video of a White House event where middle and high school girls demonstrat-ed science experiments where they sanitized ap-ples with white light and created an apparatus for a girl who is missing her fi n-gers to hold a pencil. An-other girl spoke with Presi-

dent Barack Obama about her sustainability efforts.

In the panel discussion, Hernandez highlighted the region’s Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center at Paine Field, where in 12 weeks people can get the skills needed to be hired at Boe-ing.

“A lot of times people think you need a four-year degree to really get into the STEM fi elds. And it’s not necessarily true,” Her-nandez told the crowd.

Community college also is a good place to start for students who need to brush up on their math or science skills before launching into a STEM-re-lated career, she added.

“When girls see them-selves in STEM roles, it builds confidence,” Her-nandez said in an inter-view after the event.

Studies show girls tend to underrate themselves while boys overrate their competency in science. “There’s a lot of work to

be done to get girls excited about STEM,” she said.

Panelists at the event agreed it’s important for young women to find a mentor in their desired field, and that enticing girls to high-tech fields needs to start at an early age, she said.

Edmonds Community College is part of the Rela-tionships in Science Educa-tion (RISE) program fund-ed by the National Science Foundation, which will al-low the college to spend five years increasing the number of students who graduate and transfer with STEM majors.

Additionally, NSF pro-vided the college with a more than $592,000 grant to help 45 low-income students pursue STEM ma-jors. Students who qualify will earn up to $5,000 per year as they work toward their degree.

A week-long summer program at the college fo-cusing on STEM for mid-dle- and high school-aged girls is something Her-nandez would like to add. “Staff has been doing great work,” she said.

Robotics teams fi nish well at world tourney

Two robotics teams from King’s High School of Shoreline finished in third- and fourth-place al-liances at a recent world tournament.

The 2011-12 FIRST Tech Challenge World Cham-pionship was held April 25-28 at the Edward Jones Dome, America’s Center, St. Louis, Mo.

This year’s competition, “Bowled Over,” had teams fill crates with racquet-balls, stack the crates and push bowling balls.

The Cyber Knights 3717 entered competition ranked fi rst in their divi-sion and served as captain of the Edison Division Fi-nalist Alliance, which also included teams from Ore-gon and China. The team included Jack Kim of Ed-monds, Dalton Caughell and Randall Ersoz, both of Woodway, Devin Caplow, Christian Decker and Dan-ny Helms, of Shoreline, and Kendall Lawley, Josh Pearson and Ryan Printz, of Seattle.

The Cyber Daze 4590 team was ranked ninth in its Franklin Division and also competed in a fi nalist alliance with teams from Alaska and Illinois. The team included Zach Fro-hardt of Lynnwood, Jon Fuller and Jeff Stack, both of Edmonds, Jared Clem-ens of Mill Creek, Noah Elliott of Lake Forest Park, Quinn Martin of Shore-line, Chris Stroemel of Ev-erett, and Chad Abramson of Snohomish.

In a fun moment, the King’s robotics team wowed the audience — and guest judge and bas-ketball legend Kareem Ab-dul-Jabbar — in a height contest. The team sent a crate up 14.5 feet starting from an 18-inch platform, more than double what competition designers had anticipated possible, school staff said.

UWB gets money for new building

Gov. Chris Gregoire signed into law two bills

April 23, Senate Bill 5127 and Senate Bill 6074, which enable the Univer-sity of Washington Both-ell to move ahead with construction on its long-anticipated science and academic building to be known as UW 3.

The 74,000-square-foot building will house 11 sci-ence labs, several class-rooms, gathering space and a 200-person lecture hall. With the added space, the university will be able to serve an additional 1,000 students each year. It is the first building to be con-structed on the UW Both-ell campus in 10 years.

State money will cover $40 million of the project’s estimated $68 million in construction costs. Work is slated to begin in July.

Jazz choir brings down the house

Edmonds-Woodway High’s jazz choir, the Mel-lo-Aires, took top honors at Columbia Basin College’s Jazz Unlimited choir festi-val April 20-21 in Pasco.

Several soloists were rec-ognized: Charli and Jake Houser, Nick Birkby, Cole Conefrey and Belina Seare. The rhythm section — Miles Laven, Cory Frank-lin and Amanda Cowan — were all recognized in-dividually as soloists and awarded Outstanding Rhythm Section.

The Mello-Aires won its division plus the sweep-stakes award for the best jazz performance out of all 30 choirs. Eleven is a per-fect score, and the choir scored an 11 and a 10. The group drew several stand-ing ovations from the au-dience and judges at the fi nals concert.

There is an irony in the way Cascade Sympho-ny promotes the centerpiece of its upcoming sea-son fi nale as “monumental.”

The problems associated with performing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony always test the mettle of musicians and audiences, no matter whom, when or where.

CSO maestro Michael Miropolsky estimates performing time at 70 minutes. Sitting or stand-ing, that is a long time to focus on one thing.

Beethoven was deaf when he wrote the Ninth. Whether to follow his changes in tempo is open to interpretation. Some do. Most don’t.

Will the second movement be too slow? The fi nale too fast? Miropolsky will decide.

“Unplayable” is how Miropolsky describes some passages in the Ninth. By that, I assume he includes the demands Beethoven put on horn and trumpet players. Few, if any, can manage the jumps involved. It will be interesting to see what the brass does.

Technicalities and 200 years of changes in the big B’s original score aside, the irony of the Ninth shows itself in the fourth movement. Perform-ing or performed for, no one has, can or ever will deny it is “monumental.”

The reason?The human voice: Beethoven introduced it to

symphony orchestras in the Ninth’s fourth and concluding movement after intermittently tor-turing himself with exactly how to introduce it for 30 years.

The movement derives from Friedrich Schiller’s celebration in poetry of humanity’s unity; titled “An die Freude,” translated “To Joy” and more commonly known as “Ode to Joy.” Beethoven read it, lived it and ultimately, in his life’s master-piece, expressed it.

In concert with CSO, maestro Frank DeMiero will conduct the Sno-King Community Chorale singing the vocal parts in the fourth movement.

According to the program, selections from De-libes’ “Coppelia” will pave the way for Beethoven’s Ninth. The place paved to, I am confi dent, will culminate in a fi reworks of pure rapture, the likes of which are indeed “monumental.”

Chorale joins symphony for ‘monumental’ work

Herald staff

Award-winning singer-songwriters Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin are coming to Edmonds for a once-in-a-lifetime concert.

Friends for more than 20 years, this is the first time that Carpenter and Colvin are touring together. The acclaimed songwriters will share the stage in an inti-mate evening of storytelling and music.

Carpenter has won five Grammy Awards, recorded 12 albums and has sold more than 13 million records, com-bining folk, country, acoustic, rock and blues.

She was recently honored with The Americana Asso-ciation’s esteemed “Spirit of Americana Free Speech in Mu-sic Award,” which recognizes artists who have used their work to raise awareness and promote free speech. Her new

album, “Ashes and Roses,” will be released on June 12.

Colvin has won three Gram-my Awards, released nine al-bums, maintained a nonstop touring schedule, appeared on countless television and radio programs, and had her songs featured in major mo-tion pictures. Her songs are slow-release works of craft and catharsis.

Colvin will release both her new album “All Fall Down” and her memoir “Diamond in the Rough” June 5.

Johnson will also give a presentation 7 p.m. May 17 at the center.

A longtime resident of Edmonds, Johnson played a key role in bringing to-gether artists and arts sup-porters to further the de-velopment of Edmonds as an arts community.

Having just celebrat-ed her 80th birthday, she continues to create unique work in water-based media, mixing her own colors, and painting on rice paper stretched over board. Her artwork reflects her fascination with marine life, and her creative interpreta-tions of elements of my-thology from world cul-tures express her belief in the oneness of the world community.

Symphony, Chihuly join for ‘Bluebeard’

“Bluebeard’s Castle” is an intense psychological drama that tells the story of Duke Bluebeard, sung by bass-baritone Charles Robert Austin, and his new wife, Judith, sung by mezzo-soprano Nancy Maultsby.

During the 60-minute-long piece, Judith’s per-sistent curiosity drives Bluebeard to unlock the

doors of his castle, expos-ing his dark secrets. In the Seattle Symphony’s concert production, the action of the plot and the mysteries that lie behind each door are artistically interpreted in glass form by Chihuly, and revealed one by one as the opera moves toward its dramat-ic conclusion.

Tickets are $17-$74 at www.seattlesymphony.org or 206-215-4747.

The culmination of everything ever written, produced or imagined in the known universe, or something like that, “The Avengers” bunches together Iron Man, Cap-tain America, The Hulk, Thor, the leather-clad as-sassin Black Widow, the lethal archer Hawkeye and the superheroes’ one-eyed wrangler, Nick Fury, for 143 minutes of stylish mayhem in the service of defeating Thor’s malev-olent brother, the god Loki, who hails from the interstellar world known as Asgard (access through wormhole only), and who yearns to conquer Earth with an all-pow-erful blue energy cube called the Tesseract.

Cleverly, writer-director Joss Whedon combines and recombines its vari-ous intramural rivalries. If you were a fan of two or

three or more of the mov-ies directly feeding into this one, you’re already planning on seeing “The Avengers.”

In this corner: the fa-miliar faces. Top-billed and serenely confident in his underplaying, Rob-ert Downey Jr. returns as industrialist Tony Stark, whose “Iron Man 2” colleague Black Widow, played by Scarlett Jo-hansson, joins the fi ght against Loki (slithering Tom Hiddleston, back from “Thor”). Thor him-self, played by Chris Hem-sworth, comes ‘round once again with his boo-merang hammer. Chris Evans, aka Captain Amer-ica, re-enters the ring, a symbol of retro-nostalgia and stalwart God-fearing patriotic values. Samuel L. Jackson, who has dip-ping in and out of these movies since the first “Iron Man” four years ago, fi nally gets some se-rious screen time.

And in this corner: the new guys. Chiefl y there’s Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Bruce Banner, better known as the Hulk. Previously the Hulk has been played by Lou Ferrigno on TV and, in feature fi lms, Eric Bana and Edward Norton. As with

Downey, Ruffalo doesn’t have to do much to hold the screen; unlike Downey, Ruffalo finds ways to do so without resorting to an artful but narrow range of throwaway sarcasm. Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, deadly with the straight-to-the-

eye arrows, cements 2012 as The Year of the Bow, ar-riving to the Marvel movies as he has so soon after “The Hunger Games.”

“The Avengers” is es-sentially an extended action sequence inter-rupted by an extended

soul-search in the mid-dle. On board their invis-ible fl ying aircraft carrier known as the Helicarrier, our heroes, the agents of the covert S.H.I.E.L.D. peacekeeping club, keep breaking down into rival-ing subgroups at the wily behest of Loki, who’s like the most evil gym coach ever. The ending, which won’t come as a surprise, sets us up for a sequel. Just as Stark and Loki represent two preening, egomaniacal sides of the same coin, “The Aveng-ers” is both a culmina-tor and a set-up for more, more, more.

Like a delectable meal that goes on too long, “The Five-Year Engagement” continues past gratifica-tion to overindulgence. It’s a very good movie. If a tough editor trimmed it from 124 minutes to 90, it would be wonderful.

One of the main reasons why Judd Apatow has be-come a brand name in en-tertainment is that he pro-duces movies that are very, very funny while featuring characters that resemble regular human beings.

His latest production, starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, concerns two imperfect, exasperat-ing, well-intentioned or-dinary people who trip themselves up on a dai-ly basis. They’re a lot like what most of us see in the mirror, only with better

dialogue. They are disarm-ing precisely because they weren’t designed to be lik-able. They are sympathet-ic despite their foibles, like most of our friends.

In “The Five-Year En-gagement,” Segel plays Tom, a cuddly, talented as-sistant chef at a swank San Francisco restaurant. He’s had quite a run of roman-tic luck — the fi lm slyly implies that a heterosex-ual guy there can have a Hefnerian love life even if he looks like Jason Segel.

All that is behind him, though, because he has met his one true love. Blunt plays Violet, an Eng-lish psychology grad with ambitions for post-doctor-al work, a faculty position and tons of kids. They’re sweet together and — de-spite minor skirmishes with the prospective in-laws — eager for their im-pending marriage.

As the big day approach-es, however, life becomes a series of hurdles, distrac-tions and delays. Violet gets a great academic of-fer from the University of Michigan, where she does research on impulse con-trol and doughnuts.

Supportive Tom puts his promising culinary career on hold to work the coun-ter at an Ann Arbor deli (in a nice touch, it’s Zinger-man’s, the best nosh in the Midwest). Violet blooms under the guidance of her

congenial mentor (Rhys Ifans). Tom swallows his disappointment with life in this snowbound limbo.

Seasons pass, years pass, Tom and Violet enter an unexpected cooling-off

period, and so does the fi lm. Tom takes up hunt-ing with a faculty husband (Chris Parnell of “SNL”), yielding several brilliantly executed sight gags that have a horrifying fasci-

nation. As his self-esteem defl ates, he fi nds himself literally turning into an-other person, adapting to his new location by mor-phing into a poor man’s Grizzly Adams. Violet senses his unspoken bitter-ness and seeks consolation from a male colleague.

There’s humor in ev-ery beat of the story, and the laughs come from the characters’ humanity, not camp comedy. When they’re clingy or childish or guilty, they see the hu-mor in their situation, and in themselves. When the threats to their relation-ship take a serious turn, the peril feels earned.

“The Five-Year Engage-ment” is vastly more am-bitious than — and supe-rior to — the star-stuffed romantic ensemble com-edies that shtickmeister Garry Marshall has been turning out. It’s chocka-block with inventive hu-mor and sharply drawn secondary characters (the strong cast includes Kev-in Hart, Alison Brie and Chris Pratt), yet it feels as if stretches are unfolding in real time.

By going big, director Nicholas Stoller (“Forget-ting Sarah Marshall”) aims to make the film larger and deeper. At times it’s just longer.

nnDINING OUT

DININGNOTEBOOK

By Mina WilliamsHerald writer

Italian food is a noted crowd pleaser. Who can re-sist a plate of pasta hugged by some fabulously fla-vored sauce?

More than likely Ital-ian cuisine’s popularity comes from the wide vari-ety of regional fl avors that present a perpetual palate from which to paint pleas-ing meals.

Simple Italian recipes with only four ingredients or so come from grand-mothers — not chefs; they don’t need elaborate preparation. They are very home-cook friendly and use classic ingredients that are freshly prepared and come from the local re-gion.

In the north, dishes fea-ture fi sh, rice to make ri-sotto and pork. Less toma-to sauce is used. Instead

garlic and herbs, in a white sauce, is common. Light tomato sauces, such as Bo-lognese, are the hallmark of Emilia Romagna. In Piedmont, truffle season

is cause for celebration. Tuscany and Umbria pas-ta dishes are served with a tomato sauce spiked with hot peppers.

One thing’s for certain:

Regional cheese and wine are iconic throughout It-aly and meld to the local traditional cuisine.

Americanized Italian cuisine has roots in Cam-pania and Sicily where to-matoes, olives, artichokes, oranges, eggplants and ca-pers are the common in-gredients. In Campania (home of Naples) toma-toes, artichokes, fennel, lemons and oranges are the backbone of regional dishes. This region is the leading consumer of pas-ta in all of Italy, especially spaghetti. Spaghetti alla puttanesca — olives, to-matoes, anchovies, capers, chili peppers and garlic — is favored.

Say hola to Argentina at Arista Wine Cellars

Arista Wine Cellars has planned a 13-day adven-ture to Argentina in March 2012 for a dozen wine lov-ers.

Wildland Adventures program director Kirsten Gardner will be on hand at the wine shop 1-4:30 p.m. May 12 to introduce the trip through an Argen-tinean wine tasting.

Even those unable to make the trip are welcome to come and sample the selections and see photos of the world class wine re-gion.

Arista Wine Cellars is lo-cated at 320 Fifth Ave. S, Edmonds. For details, call 425-771-7009.

WE ASKED: What is your go-to dish for potlucks?

Take a cookie sheet. Line with foil. Place about 3 pounds of raw chicken tenders from the fresh meat department in rows close together, covering the cookie sheet with the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cover with a nice thick layer of sour cream. (Like frosting over the chicken.)

Cover the sour cream layer with Italian or gar-lic bread crumbs. This will take about 1/2 a tube/container.

Randomly place small squares of unsalted but-ter on top of bread crumbs.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. (Chicken should be cooked all the way through.)

Broil for 3-5 minutes to brown!

Nuts and seedsWith the fi rst of the spring crops mo-

ments away, nuts and seeds add a fresh twist to everything from salads to sauces. But these tiny treasures are not just for lunch and dinner.

Noted Seattle cookbook author Cyn-thia Nims suggests adding them into homemade granola for a morning treat.

“My secret ingredient is malt powder for a touch of added sweetness and a nutty-malty fl avor that I love,” she says. “I have this granola pretty much every morning, with good plain yogurt and seasonal fruit.”

This recipe can also be used as a pan-try cleaner, perhaps using up all the small portions of dried fruits and nuts left over from holiday recipes. Other nuts, includ-ing pecans or walnuts, also can be used. “Just add a bit more than the recipe calls for and don’t use the fl axseed. Instead add in a bit more sesame seeds,” she says.

Malty GranolaMakes about 7 cups

Ingredients5 cups rolled oats¾ cup chopped hazelnuts½ cup sunfl ower seeds (unsalted)½ cup shredded coconut½ cup slivered almonds½ cup malt powder1/3 cup fl axseed½ cup unsalted butter½ cup honey2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Instructions1. Heat the oven to 325 F.2. Stir together the oats, hazelnuts,

sunfl ower seeds, coconut, almonds, malt powder and fl axseed in a large bowl.

3. Combine the butter and honey in a small saucepan and warm over medium-low heat until the butter is fully melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vanilla.

4. Pour the butter mixture over the oat mixture. Stir well to evenly blend.

5. Pour the mixture onto a large rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. Bake the granola until lightly browned and toasty-nutty smelling, about 1 hour, stirring the granola gently every 15 min-utes or so to assure even cooking. Set aside to cool thoroughly before transfer-ring to an air-tight container for storage.

The granola will keep for up to 2 weeks, in a cool, dark spot and well sealed to keep it crisp.

Weekly Herald/CHRIS GOODENOW Michael Walton, of Lynnwood, downsized from a 52-inch waist to 42 inches in less than a year through regular attendance at fi tness classes and time in the weight room at the Lynnwood Recreation Center. That is a couple of inches skinnier than he was before he was diagnosed with a lung infection and went through a period of inactivity. Walton’s goal is to reach 38 inches. “When you fi rst come to the gym, you think everybody is looking at you. You just have to get over that fear,” Walton said.

By Katie MurdochHerald writer

Trying something new can be scary. But the rewards can make pushing through that fear and intimidation well worth it.

Michael Walton, 48, can attest to that.

Since November, the Lynnwood resi-dent has lost more than 70 pounds by staring down intimidation and making lifestyle changes. “When I don’t work out I don’t feel good,” Walton said. “I feel like I’m missing something.”

He started taking classes at the Lyn-nwood Recreation Center last winter after a friend told him to stop feeling scared. “I was nervous,” he said. “I used to pass it every day and I used to be ner-vous to go in.”

There he met Brian Hendricks, athlet-ic and fi tness supervisor, and started a regimen. The routine consists of going to the rec center six days per week for fi tness classes, weight lifting, and using the treadmill and elliptical machines. Additionally, Walton works with a dieti-cian once per month and eats carbohy-drates in moderation.

Two years ago, Walton survived an

infection on his lungs. The infection spread to his kidneys, forcing his lungs and heart to work harder. He underwent surgery but doctors never learned the cause of the infection. Despite the life-saving surgery, Walton was prescribed 12 types of medications and couldn’t walk more than 20 feet without losing his breath. His weight went up to 355 pounds; he collected disability because he couldn’t go to work.

“My doctor said, ‘You’re cutting years off of your life,’” Walton said.

Now, more than 70 pounds lighter, he has cut the number of medications in half. “I feel great,” he said. “I’m ready to go back to work and tackle the world again.”

Joining something new can always be intimidating, said Tammy Rankins, rec-reation coordinator for the city of Ed-monds.

To ease people’s insecurities and fears, Rankins reminds those who are new they are not alone; many people get intimidated. Arrive early to introduce yourself to the instructor, who can offer pointers and connect with you during the class. Also, don’t be hard on yourself if takes time to get comfortable — and don’t give up.

“I encourage people to try things more than once as you are bound to learn something new each time you participate which could lead to higher level of enjoyment as things get famil-iar,” she said.

It’s a natural tendency to be timid around fi tness classes and equipment, said Elizabeth Kovar, fi tness coordinator for the Lynnwood Recreation Center.

“Honestly, the majority of people are intimidated,” Kovar said.

Family-oriented recreation centers can be a good place to ease into a fi tness routine, versus big box-style gyms that draw a clientele keen on trendy work-outs and equipment.

“No matter if you’ve been working out at a facility a long time or you’re a new member, the (recreation) facility is there for everyone,” Kovar said.

To overcome his fears, Walton re-membered his mother’s familiar say-ing: “Where could you be if you weren’t afraid?”

Recreation staff were friendly and happily showed him how to use equip-ment without judging or looking down on him, he said.

“Just go to the gym, take your time and do it,” he said.

Don’t fear the rec center

It won’t be “Steamboat Willy,” but there will be Mickey Mouse ears atop a hulking ship in Puget Sound waters this sum-mer.

For the first time, the Disney Wonder, one of Disney’s fl eet of four fam-ily-friendly cruise ships, will sail to Alaska from Se-attle.

The ship is representa-tive of two recent trends in cruising, an increasing-ly popular vacation choice for Americans.

First, more cruise ships are catering to multigener-ational groups of passen-gers, experts say. Second, Seattle has become one of the nation’s busiest cruise

ship ports, offering a con-venient link to Alaskan va-cations.

“We’re consistently a tourist destination,” said Peter McGraw, a spokes-man for the Port of Seattle.

What’s more, it means an Alaskan cruise is just a short drive away for peo-ple living in Snohomish County.

Ships are expected to de-part Seattle more than 200 times this year, a huge in-crease from 1999, when only a half-dozen cruises sailed by the Space Needle. More than 800,000 people will wave from a ship’s rail as the Seattle skyline re-cedes.

“Higher airfares to Europe this year can impact people’s vacation choices,” said Lanie Morgenstern, a spokeswom-

an for Cruise Lines Interna-tional Association, an indus-try trade group.

That all means good things for Snohomish

County residents who choose to spend a week or two aboard a cruiseliner destined for Alaska. Vaca-tions leave practically from your front door, avoiding expensive airfares. Plus, cruises are attractive be-

cause of the overall value they offer.

“Accommodations, travel from port to port, shipboard activities, din-ing and entertainment are all included in the cost of a cruise,” Morgenstern said.

That’s one of the reasons why last season’s Seattle bookings were at almost 110 percent, McGraw said. It means families are fi ll-ing rooms, adding value

by bringing kids aboard.“These cruise lines

increasingly have be-come family vacations,” McGraw said.

Enter Disney, one of the leaders in cruise vacations for families. Leveraging the popularity of their theme parks into a fl oat-ing vacation, the Disney trips embrace the idea of a multigenerational va-cation. For example, the third and fourth passen-ger in a state room pays less, as do children.

There also are plenty of child-focused onboard

and port-of-call activities.Capt. Mickey Mouse

doesn’t own the category, however. Most cruise lines now offer plenty of things to do for kids and adults.

Nine lines operate 11 ships that sail from Seat-tle. Each cruise experience is a bit different and tai-lored to various interests and levels of luxury.

When selecting a cruise, it’s important to explore the offerings of different ships, experts advise.

“One of the great ad-vantages of a cruise is the incredible amount of choice when it comes to picking the right cruise,” Morgenstern said. “There are cruise ships of all de-

scriptions and itineraries throughout the world to suit everyone’s tastes, in-terests and budget.”

Before booking, check out ship amenities and classes. On board activi-ties may include cooking classes, lectures, photog-raphy classes and educa-tional shore excursions.

Despite the Costa Con-

cordia disaster off Italy in January, when a cruise ship capsized and more than 30 people died, cruis-ing remains popular.

“The cruise line indus-try is operating in full force,” Morgenstern said.

Holland America’s Oosterdam was the fi rst boat to depart Seattle this season. It set sail May 6.

LYNNWOODWhen pilots land Boeing Co. 737s,

they can do so knowing the landing gear are fully extended, thanks to a product built here.

Crane Aerospace and Electronics is one of the largest aerospace employers in Sno-homish County, with some 700 workers at the Lynnwood facility. Another 200 Crane employees are at at the Crane site in Redmond in King County.

In Lynnwood, Crane workers build landing-gear sensors, among other prod-ucts, for a variety of aircraft, including Boeing 737 and 777 jets and Airbus A320s and A380s. Each sensor has a cor-responding target, explained Jim Hirn-ing, vice president and site leader. Dozens of sensors are on an airplane’s landing gear and send signals to the cockpit indi-cating they’re in the proper position.

One of Crane’s newer products, a wire-less tire pressure system, is gaining pop-ularity. Aircraft mechanics can waive a wand at a jet’s tires to determine the tire pressure. It’s not wizardry or magic; it’s Crane’s sensor technology.

Crane’s SmartStem sensor in the tire valve reads the tire pressure and temper-ature in about three seconds when the wand is held in front of it. Last week,

Crane announced that the wireless tire pressure system the company developed has been approved for use on Dassault Falcon 50 business jets. It’s already ap-proved for several other aircraft.

“SmartStem was developed by Crane Aerospace and Electronics to provide a fast and reliable method of checking tire pressure without gas loss,” said Na-than Smith, Crane business development manager.

A similar system, which also monitors aircraft brakes, was approved in 2007 by federal aviation authorities for use on Boeing 777 aircraft. The system comes standard on new 777s and can be retro-fi ted on older ones, Hirning said.

One of about a dozen Crane sites, the Lynnwood location was founded as El-dec Corp. in 1957. Crane acquired it in 1994.

Founded in 1855, Crane predates the Boeing Co. It employs 11,000 people worldwide. Crane designs and manu-factures a range of products for the aero-space, electronics, power generation and chemical markets.

Maybe the question is, “What is the legal basis for foreign policy?” The instructor is a

retired American diplomat.Or maybe the issue is, “In what way

is postmodernism a philosophical reac-tion to modernism?” The instructor is a former telephone company executive.

Or maybe the discussion focuses on, “What is the best defi nition of fi lm noir?” The instructor is a retired chemical research director.

Regardless of the subject, the scene will be pretty much the same. About 25 people of retirement age will be in a classroom at Edmonds Community Col-lege for a two-hour session.

It will be characterized by lively dis-cussion, controversy, humor, insight, and occasionally wisdom.

During the break and after the class, the conversations will spill out into the corridor and then onto the parking lot.

The class will be one of about 30 of-

fered each term by the Creative Retire-ment Institute, perhaps better known as CRI.

There are no examinations, grades, or credits, and the courses are open to everyone, regardless of academic back-ground.

Faculty members are typically retired instructors or non-academics who have special knowledge to share.

CRI belongs to the approximately 300 older adults who participate in it each year. Many pay dues to become members so that they can elect offi cers and work within committees to provide stimulating educational opportunities.

The Elderhostel Institute Network, an organization that serves older adults, reports there are about 500 institutions like CRI across North America.

Other similar programs, not affi liated with a college or university, may number 300 to 500.

lifelong learning programs appears very secure.

“All the research we have done shows that people don’t want to do nothing,” says Tammy Erickson, author of “Retire Retirement.”

Especially not for years on end. Today, the average 65-year-old can expect to live another 15-20 years.

Take a cruise, play some golf, clean out the garage – and then what?

“We keep telling people to try us,” says Lynn Lagreid, CRI’s program coordinator, “for the classes and the social component as well.”

Apparently, many do.“Each year, we typically

enroll more than 150 new participants,” she adds.

When CRI began in the 1993-94 academic year, stu-dents paid for 659 classes. In 2010-11, the most recent year for which we have complete fi gures, students paid for 2,150 classes.

Increasingly, stereotypes of older adults are being discard-ed as they embrace new social inventions, and the lifelong learning concept is just such an invention.

The spring term courses at CRI are now winding down, but the fall term course bro-chure will be ready in late July.

Non-fatal falls sent 1.8 million older adults to the emergency room in 2008, according to a recent report

from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In fact, falls are the leading cause of injury related death for seniors. Such seri-ous injuries include hip fractures and brain injuries.

But now for the good news: Falls are not a normal part of aging and they can be prevented. They don’t result from sheer clumsiness. Falls occur for many different reasons — often ones you can control.

So, what can you do to reduce your risk of falling? Many falls can be prevented by doing a few simple things. Here are four recommendations from the CDC to reduce your falls risk.

1. Begin a regular exercise program. Exercise is the most important way to lower your chances of falling. It makes you stronger and helps you feel better. Exercises that improve balance and coor-dination (like tai chi) are the most helpful. Any type of exercise for any period of time is better than none. The more you exercise, the better your chances are at maintaining strength and balance.

2. Have your health care provider

review your medicines. As you get older, the way medicines work in your body can change. Some medicines, or com-binations of medicines, can make you sleepy or dizzy and can cause you to fall. Both over-the-counter and prescription medications should be reviewed.

3. Have your vision checked. Get your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year. You may be wearing the wrong glasses or have glaucoma or a cataract that limits your vision. Poor vi-sion can increase your chances of falling.

4. Make your home safer. About half of all falls happen at home. To make your home safer:

• Remove things you can trip over (like

LYNNWOODUpgrades and improvements

for the Lynnwood Golf Course are in the business plan for the future.

Now that the facility’s $6 mil-lion bond is paid off, parks and recreation director Lynn Sordel suggests reinvesting revenue into making improvements. The last $400,000 bond payment was made in December 2011.

Adding a hitting area and cart storage, improving parking and the car entry, plus upgrading the pro shop and food service areas are being proposed as future proj-ects over the next fi ve years.

The plan calls for using proceeds from the city’s sale of property, to Edmonds Community College, to establish a $500,000 line of credit-style account for the golf course. Funds would be drawn upon as proposed elements move forward and funds would be paid back with course fees.

Basically, the golf course would get enough seed money to mount improvement projects, said Loren-zo Hines, fi nance director. “There is a good plan and a strategy to repay funds that will set the golf course up for success.”

“There are business measure-ment tools with every step in concert to attack the defi cit,” Sor-del said. “Those tools were put in place to make the course better while attacking the defi cit. This is a strategy that is sustainable.”

Throughout the past three years the golf course operated on a defi cit, relying on loans from the city’s utility fund to break even. Sordel attributed those shortfalls to bond payments.

“There was an inability to generate enough money to pay bond payments in the three-year period marked by bad econom-ic conditions and bad weather,” Sordel said.

The Mississippi River is a superhigh-way of water that slices through the middle of America.

For three months, the Mississippi will be Dave Ellingson’s home, his classroom and his spiri-tual quest.

The Rev. Ellingson is a Lutheran pastor and as professor of children, youth and family stud-ies at Trinity Lutheran College in downtown Everett.

Ellingson, of Ed-monds, 64, will put his kayak in the headwa-ters of the Mississippi on May 14 and begin his three-month paddle south, from Lake Itasca in Minnesota to New Orleans on the Gulf of Mexico.

He is on a six-month sabbatical from the col-lege to do what he is calling a pilgrimage. El-lingson also will be pad-dling for a cause.

The theme of his six-month sabbatical is “Creation Care: Envi-ronmental Justice.” As part of his paddle, El-lingson is raising aware-ness and money for Ce-dar Tree Institute. The money raised will be used by a team of at-risk youth, church members and volunteers from the American Indian com-munity to plant 10,000 white cedar trees, ac-cording to press mate-rial.

Ellingson, besides be-ing a kayaker, is an en-vironmental theologian and master gardener and was instrumental in helping to create Trinity Lutheran College’s roof-top garden.

He believes his jour-ney on the Mississippi River will be a hard-

scrabble course on the natural world.

“If you wed this idea of nature with pilgrim-age, nature is bound to teach you something. And for me, it’s not just nature, it’s God’s cre-ation,” Ellingson said. “So I wonder, what will I learn, what will God’s creation teach me, what will scare me?”

During his three months on the river, Ellingson expects long periods of solitude.

“Solitude is part of the experience and when you are alone, you are not always lonely,” El-lingson said in a phone interview before he left. “There is a certain joy in being alone.”

He also expects some scary moments, as well, at places where reeds grow 6 feet high and it’s easy to get lost.

For Ellingson, being vulnerable is key to the journey.

“It’s something I’ve always longed to experi-ence in this way: being open to God, to the people I meet, even to the weather I experi-ence,” Ellingson said.

He can’t do much about the weather, but should he get into a dangerous situation at some point along the 2,530 miles of river, the professor said he paid for a service that acti-vates an emergency sig-nal and “somebody in a helicopter or a boat or something” will come to his rescue.

“I don’t really believe

it, but it makes my fam-ily feel better,” said El-lingson, a husband and father of fi ve.

Also, Ellingson will be keeping a blog so any-one clicking on to the site can read his stories and insights while see-ing where he is — or isn’t — in real time.

“If you don’t see the boat moving on the river I will communi-cate that I’ve slept in or met somebody and I’m having breakfast,” Ellingson said. “And I’ve got a smartphone and can call. It’s not like I’m leaving civilization. It’s a superhighway in America.”

Ellingson also is pre-pared when it comes to equipment. He will be using a folding kayak, called a Folbot, that can be carried in a back-pack.

He’s researched and talked to other kayak-ers about the Missis-

sippi, so he’s aware there are stretches such as through Tennessee where there will be 150 miles of nothing.

Ellingson, who has been at Trinity Lutheran College since 2004, has done the Ironman Tri-athlon, the Boston Mar-athon and what he calls “lots of adventures.”

Though he jokes his legs are shot and his knees don’t work, El-lingson said this new adventure is perfect for him and his upper body, which is in good enough shape to carry him through this “natu-ral mission of my mor-tality.”

“The river will start out as a tiny little stream and the river will grow, and I will learn and grow with the river,” Ellingson said. “The river will prepare me and equip me, and I will see the river as my teacher.”

EDMONDSDespite best human ef-

fort, a harbor seal has died in Edmonds.

Dubbed Sandy, the seal was originally rescued off a beach in West Seattle in Au-gust 2011 and rehabilitated at PAWS in Lynnwood.

Released in January, the seal was discovered April 1 in more than 50 feet of water by divers in the Em-erald Sea Dive Club who regularly volunteer to clean up Edmonds beach-es below the water. Sandy was found entangled in derelict fi shing line.

She was the second har-bor seal to die this year be-cause of the abandoned fi shing gear. Another was found in a net in Hood Ca-nal shortly after its release.

The divers were working in Edmonds waters where tires have been sunk to pro-

vide a habitat for fi sh. Cast lines get caught, and fi sher-men cut the lures and lines to free the poles. Those lines move with the tides, so div-ers volunteer to remove them from the water.

“They knew she was a rescued pup when he saw the fl ipper tags,” said Robin Lindsey, co-founder of the Seal Sitters network. “ It’s just tragic that this seal end-ed up at the bottom of the Sound. So many people put love and energy into her. She had every chance in the world to survive.”

Sandy was one of the special few to have se-cured one of the 10 spots at PAWS, Lindsey said. Rehab seals are accepted based upon which ones are most likely to succeed. PAWS and Wolf Harbor Wildlife Center, at Friday Harbor in the San Juan Is-lands, are the only marine mammal rehab centers in Washington state.

Since her release, Sandy was tracked by scientists using a satellite transmit-ter that had been also at-tached to her. Sandy’s movements were visible through a website that had a map of her “ping” sights, the last being March 27. She had more than 600 followers, some of whom contributed to her return to Puget Sound, who re-ceived daily emails about her travels.

“She was really traveling like crazy,” Lindsey said.

Originally released at a harbor seal rookery in South Puget Sound, Sandy traveled from Olympia to

the San Juans. She circled Vashon Island and visit-ed Edmonds a couple of times. She appeared to be thriving.

It is unclear how San-dy originally hauled up on the beach as a severely underweight 3-week-old pup. Lindsey suspects that something happened to the mother.

People who fi nd a seal on the beach are asked to report the seal’s location to the Edmonds Seal Sitters at 425-327-3336. Volunteers will arrive at the beach, cordon off a 100-yard area for the seal to keep it safe and undisturbed.

Rescued seal found dead

EDMONDSIt took Michael Mearns,

of Edmonds, hours of re-search on city codes and state statutes. He studied business license regulations and permit fees for weeks. He took time off from work to attend meetings.

All he wanted to do is to feed his neighborhood from his neighborhood garden, Rubberneck Farms.

The sticking point was a city code calling for a $500 conditional permit fee for farm stands in the city of Edmonds.

Mearns was hoping to reopen his stand, hardly bigger than a card table and oftentimes operated on the honor system, in a few weeks when the fi rst seedlings might start pro-ducing.

During a public hear-ing May 1 neighbors and city residents allayed fears about heavy traffi c and late night hours.

As a result, the City Council unanimously

moved to eliminate the fee requirement for urban farmers. Mearns now will return to his 150-square-foot growing space within his 3,000-square-foot prop-erty and grow produce.

“It was great,” Mearns told The Weekly Herald. “I wasn’t sure what to ex-pect. People could have reservations. Those who spoke, and those who came to the meeting, re-ally showed how impor-tant urban farming is to a neighborhood.”

Rubberneck Farms will still have to follow city regulations regarding sig-nage and hours.

“The garden is really defi ned as a hobby farm, making less than $10,000 per year,” he said.

Last year the garden pro-duced more than 1,000 pounds of food, from aru-gula to zucchini.

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE People with electric cars

now will have the option of charging up while they ride the bus to work.

Charging outlets for 20 cars have been installed at the Mountlake Terrace park-and-ride lot at 236th Street SW and I-5. A dedi-cation “plug-in” ceremo-ny was held May 5.

Each of the 10 stations is equipped with two outlets. One is a 120-volt, “level 1” outlet that charges a car from empty to full in 16 to 30 hours, depending on the type of vehicle. The other is a 240-volt, level 2 charger than can juice up a car in eight to 15 hours.

This is the most charg-ing stations installed in any one location so far in Snohomish or King coun-ties, said Shane Hope,

planning director for Mountlake Terrace.

The 20 chargers are two more than the 18 recently in-stalled in the parking garage at the Snohomish County complex in Everett.

The new stations in Mountlake Terrace are the fi rst to be installed at a park-and-ride lot in the county, according to web-sites that show station lo-cations.

Mountlake Terrace ap-plied for and received a $55,000 federal grant for the stations, Hope said. The city paid for installa-tion, which she estimated at a few thousand dollars. The ChargePoint brand stations are made by Cou-lomb Technologies of

Campbell, Calif.The project was done

with the blessing of Com-munity Transit, which leas-es the site from the state for the park-and-ride lot.

Three years ago, with $20 million in federal grant money, Communi-ty Transit built a fi ve-sto-ry parking garage at the park-and-ride lot, expand-ing the number of parking spaces from 387 to 880. The garage is connected by footbridge to a $35 mil-lion bus station in the I-5 median, opened last year by Sound Transit.

Commuters with elec-tric vehicles can now park, plug in and let their cars charge up all day while they’re gone, Hope said.

The service costs 85 cents per hour with a max-imum of $4 per session, she said. The charging sta-tions take credit cards. The charger shuts off automat-ically when the car’s bat-tery is full, said Mike Man-gione, electrical inspector for the city.

Most in-home chargers cost about 30 to 35 cents per hour, Hope said. But even at the higher fi gure, $4 can take an all-electric Nissan Leaf 100 miles — much farther than $4 can take a gasoline-powered vehicle, she noted.

The all-electric Nissan Leaf and the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Volt, which has a 40-mile electrical range and a gas engine as well, be-came available within the past year and a half.

Several auto makers, in-cluding Ford, are planning new models for release.

The Leaf sells for about $35,000 and the Volt for about $39,000.

A $7,500 federal tax credit is available for each.

LYNNWOODEdmonds Community

College is leading a charge to get good food to South Sno-homish County residents.

The college is present-ing, for the fi rst time, the Celebration of Food Fes-tival. The event, sched-uled for May 20, is aimed at opening a community conversation about health, nutrition and the good taste that local foods bring

to the table. The event is free to the public. It is be-ing held 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Lynnwood Conven-tion Center.

“We want to do some-thing within the commu-nity to introduce and sup-port local food,” said Chris Hudyma, director of well-ness and training at the college.

The Celebration of Food event dovetails with tele-vision celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day efforts, May 19. Oli-

ver, an English chef and restaurateur, campaigns against the use of pro-

cessed foods in schools. Through his outlets he strives to improve diets. He founded Food Revo-lution as a foundation aimed at fi ghting obesity through better food.

Edmonds Communi-ty College started a local Food Revolution chapter, one of 600 in the U.S.

“However, Food Festival is not issue-based,” Hudy-ma said. “We want to un-derscore that local food looks and tastes good. This event will bring people to-

gether who are passion-ate about delicious, local, wholesome food.”

At the inaugural event local growers and arti-sans will have displays and samples. Garden spe-cialists will be on hand to help people learn how to grow their own food.

A Kid’s Corner will offer children’s activities with a food focus. The demon-stration stage, staffed by Bastyr University students and Swedish/Edmonds hospital nutrition experts,

will showcase easy prepa-ration methods, healthful recipes and snack options.

“I hope that after the fes-tival, people will continue to have a conversation of food,” Hudyma said. “I hope this will help people to make positive changes wherever their interests lead them.”

The Celebration of Food Festival is sponsored by Edmonds Community College, the city of Lyn-nwood, Verdant and Cas-cade Harvest Coalition.

SAFETY WATCH

By Rikki KingHerald writer

LYNNWOOD City leaders are seriously con-

sidering a contract for fi re pro-tection service.

Lynnwood Mayor Don Gough on May 7 was expected to ask City Council members for permission to start preliminary negotiations with Snohomish County Fire District 1. The two agencies have been talking for months about ways to combine services.

The possibility of a fi re con-

tract is a major policy question for Lynnwood, Gough said. Lynnwood now spends roughly $9 million a year on its fi re de-partment.

The talk comes at a time when officials in South Snohomish County have been busy rethink-ing how to provide fi refi ghting and emergency medical service. With rising costs and sagging revenues from property taxes, Lynnwood is not alone in strug-gling to pay the bills.

Since early 2011, seven South County cities and two fi re dis-

tricts have been talking about forming a regional fi re author-ity, a plan that could take years. Other partnership and merger talks are happening as well.

A proposed contract with Fire District 1 would need to ensure a quality level of service for Lyn-nwood, Gough said.

His offi ce already has briefed the council president and vice president about the issue, Gough said. He also has halted talks with Fire District 1 until coun-cil members give clear direction about what they’d like to do.

“This policy issue, we haven’t really raised this, so we antici-pate there being a lot of public inquiry,” he said.

Fire District 1 encircles the city of Lynnwood, and the two agen-cies share more than 10 miles of border, district commissioner Richard Schrock said May 4.

Together, the city and the dis-trict could streamline services among the fi re stations in that area, Schrock said.

“We look forward to talking with them about whatever they would be interested in discuss-

ing with us in terms of jointly working together and sharing resources to serve the people better in both of our jurisdic-tions,” he said.

Fire District 1 is Snohomish County’s largest fire district, serving most of unincorporated southwest county, in addition to contracted fi re service in Ed-monds, Brier, Mountlake Terrace and Woodway.

In general, cities that decide to explore a fi re service contract spend months in negotiations before anything becomes fi nal.

Lynnwood might team with Fire District 1

DEATHS

EDMONDSAn Edmonds man has

been accused of stealing tools and sports memora-bilia from his grandmoth-er.

The man, 25, was booked into the Snohomish Coun-

ty Jail for investigation of theft and more than a doz-en counts of traffi cking in stolen property.

Among the items stolen were small statues of base-ball Hall of Famers Whitey Ford and Brooks Robinson, a framed and autographed photo of all-time strike-

out leader Nolan Ryan and a plaque with a photo of longtime Seattle Mariner Ken Griffey Jr.

The woman said she al-lowed her grandson and his girlfriend to move into her Arlington home in January. Soon after, things started to disappear.

She provided a list to detectives that included chain saws, grass trim-mers, power tools, com-pact discs and the sports collectibles.

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Offi ce discovered some of the goods had been dealt to pawn shops.

Man allegedly stole from grandmother

Dmarie’s Doggie Bou-tique opened in Ed-monds’ Firdale Village just over a year ago.

Owner Danita Nickles, 51, comes from a back-ground in child care. She operated a family child care center for 25 years. She also showed her Chinese crested dogs as a hobby.

Chinese crested dogs are generally hairless, so Nickles donned her pups in sweaters to keep them warm.

“They do get cold, like so many of the smaller-breed dogs do,” Nickles said. “I started dressing them in clothes. Then I thought, ‘I like to sew,’ and I knew I could design and make my own.”

People on the show cir-cuit saw her designs and the business was born. Demand for her doggie pajamas alone forced her to fi nd outside produc-tion. “I just didn’t have time to do all the sewing myself,” she said.

As popularity mount-ed for her line, Nick-les planned to open a grooming business with the clothes as a sideline.

Rather than risking letting her emotions run the business, Nickles took a step back and enlisted the help of Seattle-based Washington C.A.S.H. (Community Alliance for Self-Help), a program that helps and counsels aspiring entrepreneurs.

Through that pro-gram, Nickles crafted her business plan and got a mentor.

“There was so much about running a business I knew I did not know,” she said. “Rather than jumping into it, I learned about production, pric-ing, marketing and the cost of goods. I still have a lot to learn. It’s still hard to balance variety of merchandise.”

Specialty sellsNickles opened Dma-

rie’s Doggie Boutique in February 2011 with the come-to-market strategy of “keep it special.”

People are emptying their pockets to fashion their furry babies. They are look-ing for meticulous work-

manship and unmatched details, Nickles said.

“People like to pam-per themselves and their pets,” she said. “The dog is an extension of them-selves and small-dog owners go over the top.”

Most of the boutique’s business comes from Nickles’ own off-the-rack designs, including fl eece pajamas, $24.99, and animal print “fur” coats, $22.99. Custom couture creations represent 10 per-cent of her sales; ready-to-wear lines are 60 percent. The balance of her sales comes from other lines that she carries.

Nickles likes to offer a functional outfi t with a twist. Her bow ties, for example, feature a tux-style bib with a fun printed bow tie, all at-tached to a collar.

Her couture collection is custom-sized.

Andrea and Drake Newsom come to the shop from their Lake Stevens home. They like to accessorize their golden retriever and Pomeranian.

“It is fun (to dress the dogs) to refl ect their personality,” said Andrea Newsom, 26. She reports that her husband likes to match Argyle sweaters with the retriever.

The couple stop with their dogs for a bite to eat at the Dining Dog Cafe and Bakery, a sit-down

doggie diner next door in Firdale Village, then head to the boutique to shop. “ It’s like a date with the dogs. Everyone there has their pups. It’s very dog-focused,” she said.

Newsom is so enam-ored with the concept that she has started craft-ing designer leashes and collars, marketing them through Facebook under Jazz’s Dogsembles.

Callie Taylor, of Ever-ett, also shops at Dmarie’s for her small-breed dogs.

“They are little and get cold,” Taylor said. “I just love them in sweaters. They look so cute, it’s fun to do and they get lots of compliments.”

Expanding the breedNickles started host-

ing pup playgroups and breed-specifi c meet-ups over the winter. She generally partnered with the Dining Dog . “While owners take their pets out to dinner, I thought adding in fashion shows might be fun.”

Dolling up the doggies is done for two reasons, Nickles said: for fun or functionality.

Caring for and outfi t-ting pets may be a reces-sion-resistant industry.

According to the Amer-ican Pet Products Asso-ciation, Americans spent $50.9 billion on their pets in 2011, projecting $52.8 billion in 2012.

The Humane Society warns that not all clothes are best for pets. Clothing should not restrict move-ment or affect their abil-ity to relieve themselves. Designs expressly for pets are preferred, rather than clothing meant for dolls.

HOW THEY FINISHED

WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK

12 and 17: Runs scored and hits by Meadowdale against Marysville Getchell during a Wesco 3A softball game May 7 at Meadowdale High School. Ciarra Hart hit a double and a home run to lead the Mavericks to the 12-1 victory in a game shortened to fi ve innings due to the 10-run mercy rule. Lindsey Milner had a triple as Meadowdale improved to 9-5 in the league and 10-6 overall.

Lynnwood hands Everett its fi rst softball lossThe Lynnwood softball team exacted a lit-tle revenge, knocking off previously unde-feated Everett 9-7 in a Wesco 3A softball game on May 7. Erica Gott hit a two-run homer in the fi rst and Meagan Crabtree added a solo shot in the fi fth, but it was Royals’ leadoff hitter Jasmin Edwards who sparked the offense, fi nishing 2-for-4 with three runs scored. Nursing a two-run lead and facing the bottom of the Everett lineup in the seventh, Gott retired the side in order, to end the game.

1. Meadowdale/Edmonds-Woodway softball. The Mavericks host the Warriors at 4 p.m., May 10 at Meadowdale High School. Both teams already have qualifi ed for the playoffs and will use the game as a tune-up for the postseason.

2. Edmonds-Woodway/Lake Ste-vens baseball. The Warriors take on the Vikings in the 4A District 1 champion-ships game at 7 p.m., May 10 at Everett Memorial Stadium. The Warriors plan to start Jorgen Arnesen, who earned a save in Edmonds-Woodway’s 8-6 victory over Marysville-Pilchuck May 7 at Edmonds-Woodway H.S. Arnesen and the Warriors pitching staff face perhaps their biggest challenge of the year as the Vikings have pounded out 31 runs in district wins over Kamiak and Jackson. Both teams already have earned berths to the state regional tournament. Edmonds-Woodway lost to Jackson in last year’s title contest.

3. Wesco 3A track and fi eld cham-pionships. The area’s top athletes head to Shoreline Stadium for the start to the postseason at 4:30 p.m., May 11.

Unlike the boys meet where Mountlake Terrace’s margin of victory for fi rst-place was just half a point, Edmonds-Woodway left no doubt as to which school had the top girls track and fi eld team at the Edmonds District champi-onships.

The Warriors blew away the fi eld, outscoring Mead-owdale by almost 100 points to win their sixth straight title May 4 at Ed-monds Stadium.

Edmonds-Woodway fi nished with 228 points, while Meadowdale took second with 136, followed by Mountlake Terrace with 105 and Lynnwood with 59.

“Pretty much across the board every school has got talent,” Edmonds-Wood-way coach Rick Fillman said. “You have to have talent and depth in all ar-eas to win by that score. We’re pretty blessed to have a great group of girls. They’ve worked hard all season. The sophomore class is pretty strong.”

Edmonds-Woodway sophomore Djenne Dick-ens led the way with vic-tories in the 100 (13.15 seconds) and 200 (26.45). She also ran the leadoff leg of the winning 400 and 1,600 relay teams.

“She had her season’s best in the 100 and 200,” Fillman said. “She also ran her fastest time in the opening leg on the 4 by 400.”

Dickens has the fourth fastest time in the 200 and the sixth fastest time in the 100 in the 4A District 1. The top five finishers out of the bi-district meet with Kingco advance to state.

Meadowdale coach Bill Hummel told his players before the start of the 3A District 1 baseball play-offs that it was going to be a tough fi ght to move on from the tournament to the state regionals.

The Mavericks found out how true Hummel’s statement was when Meadowdale saw a 5-run lead drop to 1 run before the team clamped down and prevailed 5-4 in a first-round game May 7 at Meadowdale High School.

The Mavericks took a 1-0 lead in the first on a sacrifice fly by Matt Hirsch, which allowed Tyler McGuire to score. Oak Harbor pitcher Dim-

itri Munoz then settled down and retired the next nine Meadowdale batters.

The Mavericks final-ly got to Munoz in the fourth inning, scoring four runs to take a 5-0 lead. Meadowdale pitch-er Torin Dooley was cruis-ing along until the sixth inning when the Wild-cats pushed across four runs by stringing togeth-er three hits and taking advantage of a passed ball and an error. Meadowdale went to closer Chris Os-borne in the seventh and he picked up his sixth save of the season.

Meadowdale was scheduled to face district rival Mountlake Terrace in a May 8 contest, af-ter The Weekly Herald’s

The battle for the Ed-monds District boys track and field championship turned out to be closer than anyone could have expected.

All that separated the top two teams was half a point.

Mountlake Terrace pulled out the victory, scoring 159.5 points to Lynnwood’s 159 in the May 4 meet at Edmonds Stadium. Edmonds-Wood-way took third with 134.5 and Meadowdale was fourth with 59.

The razor-thin margin of victory was an appropriate end to an unpredictable meet that saw one of the top sprinters disqualifi ed and surprisingly strong performances from other athletes.

“We had the good, bad and ugly,” Mountlake Terrace coach Russ Vin-cent said. “We had some kids really step up and we had some huge breaks. An Edmonds-Woodway kid was DQ’d on a false start. … We had a lot of neat things in the triple and long jumps. The javelin came through.

“When you score that many points, you don’t do it in one area. It’s excit-ing to see.”

Winners for Mountlake Terrace were senior Jared Dick in the 400-meter race (52.92 seconds), Beau Ken-nedy in the javelin (159 feet, 2 inches) and Anfern-ee Calloway in the long jump (20-9.5). The Hawks’ score was boosted by nine second-place fi nishes in-

cluding senior Stuart Mil-ner in the triple jump (41-9), junior Tyler Webster in the javelin (121-7), junior Duane Dahl in the 100 (11.47) and the 300 hur-dles (42.50) and the 400 and 1,600 relay teams.

Lynnwood recorded seven fi rst-place fi nishes, the most of any of the four schools.

“We had a better perfor-mance than what I antici-pated,” Lynnwood coach Duane Lewis said. “We scored 20 points more than I thought we would. I’m very pleased.”

Junior Ryan McArthur won the 800 (1:59.27) and the 1,600 (4:36.65). Junior Jordan Drew fi nished fi rst

in the 110 hurdles (15.98) and senior Daniel Fomen-ko took the 300 hurdles (42.06). Junior Jordan Chase captured the pole vault (12-0) and junior Andrew Basham won the shot put (53-9) and was second in the discus (144-0). Lynnwood also won the 1,600 relay.

The meet was Basham’s fi rst since undergoing sur-gery on his leg for a MCL injury about a month ago. His throw is the best among the Class 3A throw-ers by more than a foot. Basham also set a personal record in the discus.

McArthur had what Lewis described as a fan-tastic leg in the 1,600 relay

race. He overcame about a 10- to 20-meter defi cit to lead the Royals to the win. McArthur pulled a ham-string about three weeks ago so Lewis has been careful not to bring him back too fast.

Drew had knee prob-lems from wrestling, which limited his running during the early part of the season. Basham, McArthur and Drew all advanced to state last year.

“All three kids you’d ex-pect the most out of had seasonal injuries,” Lewis said. “They were all back and healthy on Friday.”

Edmonds-Woodway ju-nior Kort Kamacho swept the sprints, winning the

100 (11.37) and the 200 (22.80).

Warriors coach Rick Fill-man talked with Kamacho at the end of last fall. Ka-macho wanted to know what he should do to pre-pare for the track season. Fillman suggested working on improving his strength. Kamacho hit the weight room and the results are starting to pay off.

“He came into the sea-son pretty strong,” Fill-man said. “He just really is focused now. … He’s real-ly starting to hit that peak. As we head into the next two weeks, I think we’ll see his times be consistent and get a little faster.”

Kamacho ran the anchor

leg on the 400 relay team that set a school record (43.44) at the Shoreline In-vitational two weeks ago. In Friday’s race, the War-riors took fi rst place in the relay and were just 2/100 off the record.

Edmonds-Woodway ju-nior Wyatt Meyring won the discus (146-04) and se-nior Trent Dorsey fi nished fi rst in the triple jump (42-.5). Meyring consistently has been throwing in the 140s. Fillman gave him some time off last week and Meyring respond-ed with a strong perfor-mance.

“He was close to his personal record,” Fillman said. “I’m excited about his chances. He defi nite-ly is one of the kids to watch in the next couple of weeks.”

The same should be said of junior Jack Griffing, who took second place in the 1,600 (4:39.23) and the 3,200 (9:51.02). Griff-ing has been running both races at most of the meets this season. Fillman liked that Griffi ng ran under 10 minutes in the 3,200. His time was 12 seconds faster than any other meet this season in which Griffin also has run the 1,600.

“That speaks to his com-petitiveness and also his strength,” Fillman said. “All that work his putting in the early and midsea-son is paying off.”

“I like what his ability is and his chances,” Fillman said.

Meadowdale freshman Dominic Giordano won the 3,200 and his time of 9:49.56 was more than 15 seconds faster than his previous best time. Team-mate Kameron Smith won the high jump (5-8).

Hawks nip Royals by .5

By David PanWeekly Herald sports editor

Mountlake Terrace senior Alex Hatch got the job done on the mound and at the plate.

Hatch pitched six innings and hit a two-run double in the bot-tom of the fi fth as the Hawks defeated Ferndale 8-2 in a fi rst-

round 3A District 1 baseball game May 7 at Mountlake Ter-race High School.

Hatch was masterful through the fi rst four innings and led the Hawks to a 2-0 lead going into the fifth. The Golden Eagles then scored two runs to tie the score.

But in the bottom of the sixth,

Hatch hit a double to drive in two runs as Mountlake Terrace retook the lead 4-2. The Hawks added one more run in the in-ning and scored three more in the sixth.

“He was really good for the fi rst four innings,” Mountlake Terrace coach Andrew Watters said of Hatch. “He got into a lit-

tle trouble in the fi fth. We were able to come back and get some runs.

“It was a good team effort. Alex did his part. We played great defense behind him.”

Hatch was 3-for-4 with two doubles and 3 RBI.

“He had a great day at the plate,” Watters said.

Henry Haveman hit a two-run triple to give Mountlake Terrace the early 2-0 lead.

“It was a huge hit,” Watters said. “We had a good day offen-sively. The whole lineup did.”

Jalen Pahinui was 2-for-3 with two doubles. Mountlake Terrace finished with 14 hits,

LYNNWOODThe Royals were drop-

ping like dominoes, and all was well in the Mount-lake Terrace softball dug-out.

For four innings, the Hawks’ defensive wall be-trayed no weakness. But then, something cracked.

Lynnwood’s Erica Gott hit a sixth-inning grand slam over the center-fi eld fence as the Royals came back from a two-run defi -cit to defeat the Hawks 5-3 in a Wesco 3A showdown May 4 at Lynnwood High School.

After facing just 12 bat-ters through four innings, Mountlake Terrace pitcher Rene Bos started drifting from the strike zone. She walked fi fth-inning lead-off batter Jessica Gott. The next batter, Meagan Crab-tree, reached fi rst base on a Mountlake Terrace in-fi eld throwing error. Jessi-ca Gott scored on the play and the Royals narrowed

the defi cit to one run at 2-1.

“The girls knew she (Bos) was perfect through four,” Lynnwood coach Matt Rockne said. “We were 12 up and 12 down, but she (Bos) started to get a little wild. Overall, our girls never felt dominated by her (Bos); they don’t feel dominated by any pitcher.”

The Hawks’ breakdown continued in the sixth. Lynnwood’s leadoff batter Katie Eno reached base on the second Mountlake Ter-race error. Jasmin Edwards followed with a single to shallow left field. With runners on fi rst and sec-

ond, Bos went on to walk the next batter, Jordyn Berg, to load the bases.

Terrace’s defensive wall collapsed with Erica Gott’s fifth homer and first grand slam of the season. Her booming hit, howev-er, was nearly caught by Mountlake Terrace center fi elder Minna Ward, who had eyes on the ball all the way until she crashed and knocked down the fence.

“My fi rst thought when it came off her (Erica Gott) bat was to get my runner back on third base to tag up. But then you hear the crash of the fence. Your first worry is about the safety of the girl (Ward),

but then you see her get up and then the reality that we came back from two hits you.”

Lynnwood pitcher Jessi-ca Gott, who gave up fi ve hits, earned the victory from the mound and im-proved to 12-5. The Royals won their fi fth consecutive game and improved to 9-4

in league and 12-5 overall, entering the fi nal week of the regular season.

Although the Hawks (10-5, 13-6) had already clinched a district playoff berth entering the game, their loss created an in-triguing twist: the Royals, Glacier Peak and Mead-owdale are now all with-

in a game or two of the Hawks.

Mountlake Terrace’s Hannah Baisch hit a two-run double in the fi rst in-ning to give the Hawks’ an early 2-0 lead. She fi nished 2-for-3. Hannah Wilcox hit a double in the seventh inning, bringing Ward in for the Hawks’ third run.

Lynnwood rallies from 2-0 defi cit to stun Terrace

By David PanWeekly Herald sports editor

BOTHELLOne of the best seasons in Lynnwood’s

history ended in the worst possible way. Sedro-Woolley edged the Royals 3-2 in a

shootout to prevail 1-0 in a loser-out 3A Dis-trict 1 boys soccer game May 5 at Lynnwood High School.

The Cubs’ victory was sealed when sopho-more goalkeeper Michael Moser dove to his left to defl ect a shot by Lynnwood’s Vihn Nham.

Sedro-Woolley’s Kyle Witzel, Isaac Swen-son and Obed Camacho converted on their shots against Royals goalkeeper Jose De Rio,

while Lynnwood’s Momodou Drammeh and Denden Russom were successful in their shot attempts against Moser in the shoot-out.

The Cubs mobbed Moser in front of the goal, while the Royals (9-6-2) were left to ponder the disappointing end to the year.

“We had a great season,” Lynnwood coach Ryan Camden said. “That’s what we’re go-ing to focus on. Finishing third in league, we made history in Lynnwood. Lucky for us we’re going to be strong next year. The ma-jority of players will be seniors with some new sophomores coming in.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK

Djenne DickensEDMONDS-WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL

Ryan BudnickEDMONDS-WOODWAY HIGH SCHOOL

The sophomore sprinter fi nished fi rst in the 100- and 200-meter dashes and ran on the winning 400 and 1,600 relay teams to help lead the Warriors to the team title at the Edmonds District track and fi eld championships May 4 at Edmonds Stadium. Dickens currently has the fourth fastest time in the 200 and the sixth fastest time in the 100 among her 4A District 1 peers. “I feel like I’m starting to improve,” said Dickens, who added that her best event is the 200. “I have to fi nish strong (in the 200). The end is where other people can catch you.” The re-lay teams are shaping up well, Dickens said. “They’re made up of hard workers.”

The senior standout pitched a complete game and was 2-for-3 with a double and 4 RBI to lead the Warriors to a 6-1 victory over Arlington in a fi rst-round 4A District 1 baseball game May 5 at Edmonds-Woodway High School. Budnick’s change-up was espe-cially effective against the Eagles. “I think I threw only two balls (with the change-up),” Budnick said. “It kept them off-balance.” Budnick helped himself by driving in a pair of runs in the bottom of the fi rst inning as the Warriors took a 3-0 lead. The early advantage motivated Budnick. “Once I got that lead I wanted to step on the pedal,” he said. “I wanted to protect the lead.”

in victories over Kami-ak and Jackson. “It’ll be a great challenge for our pitching staff. Our pitch-ing staff has done a good job this year. I believe in our team.”

The Tomahawks scored two runs in the top of the fi rst but the Warriors re-sponded with four runs in the bottom of the inning.

Edmonds-Woodway scored four more runs to take an 8-3 lead into the sixth. Marysville-Pilchuck then pushed across three runs in the sixth.

“Tonight we played hard,” Somoza said. “It’s the way playoff baseball is. It’s close.”

Jorgen Arnesen relieved starter Patrick Bernard in the sixth inning and closed out the game to earn the save. He’ll likely be the starter against Lake Stevens, Somoza said.

Ryan Budnick, Troy Rheinford and Alex Hull each had two hits for the Warriors.

Edmonds-Woodway opened the district tour-nament with a 6-1 vic-tory over Arlington May 5 at Edmonds-Woodway High School.

Budnick pitched a com-plete game and helped himself at the plate, going 2-for-3 with a double and 4 RBI.

“It was great to get that first win,” Somoza said. “Ryan played a great game. He really carried us. He brings great senior leadership.”

Budnick, who allowed seven hits, was effective

with his off-speed pitch-es, Somoza said. “When he starts throwing those pitches for strikes, it makes him pretty tough on the hill.”

The Edmonds-Wood-way pitcher drove in two of the Warriors’ three runs in the fi rst inning. When he returned to the mound in the second inning, Bud-nick didn’t relax. Instead he upped his intensity.

“Once I got that lead I wanted to step on the ped-al,” Budnick said. “I want-ed to protect the lead.”

Budnick drove in two more runs in the fi fth as Edmonds-Woodway ex-tended the lead.

“That made it 5-0. That’s a real big swing,” Somoza said.

The Edmonds-Wood-way coach also saw solid play from his defense.

“There were no errors. We had a lot of ground balls,” Somoza said. “We turned a double play. One through nine hitters competed. We did exactly what we wanted to do in the fi rst round.”

Troy Rheinford and Ben Roquet went 2-for-3 for the Warriors. The War-riors were coming off an 11-9 loss to Kamiak in the fi nal regular season game. Edmonds-Woodway had a 9-1 lead at one point in the game.

The loss didn’t sit well with the Warriors, who already had clinched the No. 1 seed to the district tournament.

“It helped us prepare mentally,” Budnick said. “It’s going to help us in the long run.”

deadlines. Hummel wants to see

a more crisp performance from his team.

“We made too many mistakes today,” Hummel said. “Offensively, defen-sively, we felt rusty. We didn’t feel like we were in much of a groove.”

The first round games were supposed to be played May 5, but were re-scheduled after rain at one of the sites. Playoff rules mandate that if one game is rained out, all other games also are postponed.

while Hatch and closer Josh Finch limited Fern-dale to three hits. Finch pitched the seventh.

The victory sent the Hawks into a game against district rival Meadowdale May 8, af-ter The Weekly Herald’s deadline.

Meadowdale swept the two-game regular season series against the Hawks.

“I expect it to be a re-ally tight game,” Wat-ters said. “I know we’re ready to play them. I’m sure they’re going to be ready.”

HAWKS From Page 32

VanCitters won the 300 hurdles (49.45) and the long jump (16.10.5). Van-Citters also ran on the winning 1,600 relay team. Her long jump was a per-sonal record and Van-Citters would have set a school record with a 17-8 leap, but she scratched that jump by about an inch. VanCitters has sec-ond best long jump in the district. Her 300 hurdles time also was a personal best.

“The nice thing about Savanah is that she’s pret-ty consistent,” Fillman said. “Once she’s able to do something, you can count on her.”

Senior Ruby Herbert won the triple jump (32-2) and junior Janelle Kono took fi rst in the pole vault

(8-0). Junior Victoria Leb-esis won the javelin with a throw of 88-17, almost 10 feet ahead of the second-place thrower.

The Warriors recorded seven second-place fin-ishes. Sophomore Hailey Kettel was second in the 1,600 (5:17.13) and the 800 (2:26.35).

Meadowdale was led by junior Haley Suarez, who won the 1,600 (5:16.48) and the 3,200 (11:54.88). Senior Leah Bennett fi n-ished fi rst in the 100 hur-dles and the Mavericks’ 800 relay team won in 1:50.20.

Though Mountlake Terrace fi nished third in the team competition, the Hawks shined with four individual winners. Senior Dorothy Moore, who came out for track and fi eld for the fi rst time this season, won the shot put (34-4) and the discus (103-11).

“She’s got a shot to go (far in the postseason),” Mountlake Terrace coach Russ Vincent said. “I wish I had her for a couple of more years.”

Senior Nina Penner, who is looking for her fourth straight state ap-pearance, took fi rst in the 800 (2:23.35).

“She’s really starting to respond,” Vincent said. “Now is the time to do it. She’s a good competitor.”

Mountlake Terrace sophomore Jessy Smith won the high jump (4-6).

Lynnwood’s lone fi rst-place finish was sopho-more Grace Douglas in the 400 (1:03.22).

“Grace has been our top performer all year long,” Lynnwood coach Duane Lewis said. “She’s just a real great kid. She works harder than anybody else boy or girl. In a down year, it’s nice to have a bright spot like that.”

“Heads shouldn’t be down now. We’re just going to move on from this.”

The Royals won’t be moving on with Del Rio, one of only four seniors on the roster.

“He’s been the leader of the program,” Camden said. “He will be missed for sure. He’s going to take this to college. He’s not done. I wish him the best of luck.”

Lynnwood seemed tentative in the fi rst half, but came out strong early in the second half. Still the Royals weren’t able to fi nd the back of the net.

“A lot of it was nerves in the fi rst half,” Camden said. “Regardless I’m re-ally proud of them. I really hate when

it comes down to a shootout, whatever team you’re playing.”

Del Rio made a couple of spectacu-lar saves to ensure that the game went into overtime. The Lynnwood senior smothered the ball when Sedro-Wool-ley’s Ivan Chavez sneaked through the Royals’ defense on a breakaway with under a minute left in regulation. Del Rio also recorded a save on a one-on-one breakaway by Sedro-Woolley’s Jackson Price in overtime.

Camden will remember the accom-plishments of the Royals and how the players banded together to produce a winning season.

“They believed they could do it and they did it,” he said. “We preached at the beginning of the season ‘let’s play with heart. Let’s believe in this season.’”

MARYSVILLEIt took a full 90 minutes

for Marysville Getchell to knock off Lynnwood on May 2, and the Chargers needed every second.

Actually, every half-second.

Nate Nehring’s shot from in front of the net crossed the goal line pre-cisely as time expired

and gave host Marysville Getchell a thrilling 2-1 overtime Western Confer-ence 3A soccer victory in the regular-season fi nale for both teams.

But it then took a few moments for the offi cials to huddle and determine if the shot was in the goal before time expired.

“I’ve never seen a game where (the winning goal) went in in the last sec-ond,” Marysville Getch-

ell coach Geoff Kittle said. “And it was literally the last second.”

With the stadium clock being the official time, there was a fraction of a second between the scoreboard showing 0:00 and the horn sounding. Kittle and Lynnwood coach Ryan Camden agreed that Nehring’s shot crossed the goal line precisely in that split sec-ond.

T he Mazda3 was already the Japanese automaker’s money-maker. Available in numerous confi gurations and trim

levels including sedan and coupe hatchback, it commands more than 40 percent of Mazda’s year-to-date sales, and is by far and away the best-selling vehicle in the brand’s lineup.

My tester was the upscale Mazda3 Grand Touring model with some added juice: Mazda has chosen the 3 as the fi rst application for its all-new, fuel-effi cient and performance-oriented Skyactiv technology, available on Touring and Grand Touring models. The technology comes at a price (7K higher than the Mazda3i SV base), but with an EPA rating of 28 mpg city and 40 mpg highway, my guess is it will save you money over the life of the vehicle’s service.

The Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine produces 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft

of torque. The tester’s engine was mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode (a six-speed manual transmission is offered as well).

This front-wheel commuter accommodates four adults with minimal whining, with a trunk large enough to handle a couple of golf bags and maybe one cart. The big news is that the 14.5-gallon fuel tank gives the car a potential

540-mile range with a gallon of fuel remain-ing. That’s a round trip from Seattle to Eugene.

The Grand Touring’s list of high-value stan-dard features is lengthy: power moonroof, leather and heated front seats, Bose 10-speaker surround sound audio system, navigation system, 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels, rain-sensing windshield

wipers, self-leveling bi-xenon headlights and a blind spot monitoring system.

Other whiz-bang items include anti-lock brakes with brake assist, dynamic stability control, traction control, front and rear stabilizer bars, remote key-less entry, anti-theft system and Bluetooth hands-free.So what’s the catch? I couldn’t fi nd

one – and I was looking.The Mazda3 is not under-

powered. In fact it is responsive to the gas pedal. It handles well

in corners and sharp turns, even at speed. And, thanks to some Bridgestone Blizzak tires, it was immune to the snow and slush nature tossed our way, gripping the road like a vise.

Mazda has not ignored curb appeal, either. Mazda3 is easy on the eyes, with the manufac-turer’s trademark smiley-face black grille and sporty wheels.

The interior receives a heavy dose of black with satin-polished details on the climate control switches, audio control panel and ventilation lou-vers. The center stack storage console supplied plenty of room for my traveling CD collection, sunglasses (ever the optimist), digital camera and other stuff.
