First they came for the socialists and I did not speak out. Because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out. Because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out. Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me. Poem by Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller about the rise of Nazism in Germany. Submitted by Marjorie Rhodes by Christi Schmidt The Farm at Mill Creek is a mixed use development that has several buildings under construction off of 132nd St. and 35th Ave. As part of this development proj- ect, The Farm at Mill Creek is required to preserve, restore and protect the 58 acres historically referred to as the old Pacific Topsoils site.

Equip- Cedar Wood Elementary School was one of 47 schools across the nation selected by American Heart Association Description automatically gener- ated even while the beginning of the new school year for Everett Public Schools students will be in a 100% remote learning mode.

This fall, Chinook salmon will swim up through the Ballard Locks fish ladder to Lake Washington and continue their journey upstream to the Sammamish River. Many will migrate further into Bear Creek, a Sammamish River Tributary next to Redmond on their way upstream into Snohomish County. During this upstream migra- tion, the returning salmon will seek refuge behind fallen logs and stumps in the stream to rest before moving further upstream. Unfortunately, in the past, much of that woody habitat was removed. New Chinook salmon habitat in
Bear Creek at Friendly Village
On August 25-27, the Adopt A Stream Foundation is putting over 100 logs anchored by huge boulders into Bear Creek where it flows through the Friendly Village community that is managed by the King County Housing Authority. Looking forward, AASF is also widening the flood plan and creating side pools that will serve as habitat for juvenile salmon when they begin their journey back downstream to Puget Sound in late spring and early summer next year. AASF Ecologist and Technicians are being assisted by 5 interns. The interns are fantastic, say Ecologist Abbie Abramovich. They are get- ting experience in the heavy work of stream restoration including chaining logs to boulder anchors. In the fall this stream-team will be planting a forest next to Bear Creek to provide shade for the future.

All of the offerings are virtual classes being offered online. There will be no in person program- ming through March 2021. As all programming is going vir- tual, this means that the Mill Creek Youth Basketball League has been cancelled. This program will be a candidate to return at a later date, but requires Everett School District facili- ties to operate. Once students return for 100% instruction in school, com- munity use may resume. Registration for classes in the fall and winter 2020-2021 recreation guide will start on August 31 at 9 a.m. Visit cityofmillcreek.com/register to view all programs.

ment has been placed on site for the eventual installation of the boardwalks and trails. Construction is expected to take between four to six weeks, with a completion this fall. As part of this wetland preserve, the developer will install a boardwalk and trail system with interpretive signage in the outside areas of the wetland buffers. Once trails are completed, they will restore the natural areas and provide a passive educational area for the public.
