by Nick Martin Following a briefing by customs and border protection officials on the investigation into the detainment and interrogation of Iranians and Iranian Americans at the Peace Arch Border Crossing in January, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (D) issued the follow- ing statement: In early January. I received reports of more than 60 people of Iranian descent being held for abnor- mally long periods of time. In some cases up to 12 hours at the Peace Arch Border crossing. Since then, I have been demanding transparency and an- swers from CBP and DHS to fully un-

Terry Ryan Aerospace Economic Development Director
Alaska Airlines news
Great news from Alaska Airlines and Paine Field. Alaska announced they will add flights to Palm Springs and Los Angeles beginning October 1. The economic downturn affected all airports and all airlines. Paine Field was no exception. However, this news from Alaska Airlines is very encouraging. We will now have five daily flights out of Paine Field. Alaska Airlines will have four daily flights to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and Phoenix. United Airlines has a daily flight to Denver. We truly appreciate our partners, Alaska Airlines, United Airlines and Propeller Airports all working togeth- er to get our passengers where they want to go in a timely manner. I have personally spoken to dozens of Alaska Airlines employees. They tell me everyone who has flown out of Paine Field loved it. Easy access, entry, small TSA lines, great terminal, easy boarding and when they return, easy quick baggage pick up. If you havent flown out of Paine Field Terminal yet, book your flight. Once you experience the difference between Paine Field and a larger air- port, you will be excited to book your next flight with us. We put fun into flying again.
Paine Field update
I began my new position as Aero- space Economic Development Direc- tor at Paine Field on February 10. Its hard to believe six months have gone by so quickly. I love the job and work- ing with all the aerospace companies. In addition, we have been in talks with several companies to develop some of our undeveloped land at the airport and other companies to move their businesses to our airport, or to a Snohomish County location depending on their needs. I have been working with Executive Somers on a couple of successful projects and we will share the good news when the companies want to make their moves public. Paine Field is home to Boeings largest manufacturing facility and we deeply appreciate everything Boeing does for our airport and Snohomish County. Their contributions to our county are immeasurable. In addition to the thousands of jobs at Boeing and their suppliers, Boeing runs the Future of Flight and has contributed greatly to many businesses, organizations and non-profits through the years. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find any phil- anthropic board in our county that doesnt have a Boeing executive, manager or em- ployee on their board. They are a great community partner and we want to support Boeing as any good partner would do. We also have more than 500 private aircraft for general aviation in hangars at Paine Field, four flight schools (Chinook Flight Simulations, Everett Helicopter, Northway Aviation and Regal Air), sev- eral Museums, the Future of Flight and many businesses such as Aviation Tech- nical Services, which is an award-win- ning provider of airframe maintenance and repair work for national airlines. In summary, we are a diverse air- port and a true economic engine for Snohomish County. We are very grateful to Boeing, their suppliers and all the great com- panies that drive our economic engine here in Snohomish County. derstand what happened and ensure that this kind of discrim- inatory process does not hap- pen again. After yes- terdays brief- ing with CBP that after seven months there are still lingering questions. I will continue to demand answers until we can be confident that practices like these will never be put in place again. On January 5, the New York Times reported that dozens of Iranians and Iranian-Americans were held at Wash- ington states border with Canada for hours and many were subjected to ad- ditional questioning on their political views and allegiances. On January 8, DelBene led 70 members of congress in a letter to DHS demanding more information on the detention of Iranian Americans at the border.

my questions remain unanswered. I believe that CBP is taking this matter seriously. I have not received direct answers as to whether the agency has determined if civil rights were vio- lated and if those in charge are being held accountable. It is unacceptable Cedar Wood Elementary School was selected as one of 47 schools across the nation by the American Heart Association. Even while the beginning of the new school year for Everett Public Schools students will be in 100% re- mote learning mode, plans are still being made for when school buildings can welcome back students. Cedar Wood Elementary School is a recipient of one of the American Heart Association Kids Heart Chal- lenge grants. Kathy Reese, Cedar Wood PE teacher, was awarded the $3,500 grant to help make the play- ground engaging and COVID friendly for when students return to school. Thank you to PE teacher, Kathy Reese, for writing this grant to support Cedar Wood students, said principal Bruce Rhodes when he heard the news. About: The American Heart Asso- ciation, the worlds leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all, is helping edu- cators make whole-body wellness a priority by bringing more resources to school campuses. Grant recipients are now able to implement a variety of wellness activities with additions such as physical activity equipment, ther- mometers to screen for COVID-19, water bottle filling stations and edu- cator training opportunities on their campuses.

Intermountain Regional VP
Snohomish County residents have been turning to medical virtual visits, known as telemedicine, during the pan- demic. While telemedicine companies have been around for years, the pan- demic has led to a dramatic increase in virtual visits as primary care doctors, specialists and hospitals began offering the service. Medical offices and hospi- tals are accepting patients again for in person visits and elective procedures.
I n-person visits
Screening arriving patients for COVID-19 symptoms and providing a mask and hand hygiene supplies be- fore entering the center. Cleaning and disinfecting exam rooms between each patient visit and regularly disinfecting high-traffic and high-touch areas.
Virtual Visits
Make a list of all medications, prescription and over-the-counter. Include the name, address and phone number of your pharmacy. Write down details about your symptoms, concerns, pain and feelings. Take digital photos of any injury, rash or other visible concern. Have your insurance ID card available. Use a phone, tablet or computer thats connected to the internet. Have your home thermometer, bathroom scale, glucometer or blood-pressure monitor nearby. Many area medical offices offer both virtual and in-person visits with extra precautions in place. In the Puget Sound, Dr. Carroll Haymon and the full care teams at all Iora Primary Care medical offices are reaching out to patients to check on them and let them know that virtual visits with their doctor is an option. Whether you choose a virtual or in person visit, check with your health insurance provider to see if theyve taken steps to help ease the burden during the health crisis. For example, Humana is waiving cost sharing (including co-pays, co- insurance and deductible) for in-net- work primary care, outpatient behav- ioral health and virtual visits for our Medicare Advantage members for the remainder of the calendar year. For life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pain, difficulty breath- ing, or suicidal thoughts, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

The Girl Scouts were founded in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912 by Juliette Gordon Low. It was based on the British organization Girl Guides. Its first troop was made up of 18 girls. Today, more than 3 million girls worldwide are scouts. Early Girl Scouts could earn the equivalent of the Boy Scouts merit badges in signaling and telegraphy, as well as badges for cooking and sewing.
Girl Scouts are 108 years old
