Written by Sheila Hodges   
Saturday, 27 June 2009

ImageManson, WA - U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell has afforded Cameron Hodges and Pedro Magana an opportunity to work in her Washington D.C. office as Student Interns this summer. Magana is a 2009 graduate from Manson High School and Hodges is a 2010 senior at Manson High School who will be entering his second year in the Running Start Program at Wenatchee Valley College.

The Manson High School youths met Senator Cantwell last summer during her visit to Manson for the 4th of July Celebration. She explained how to apply for a Senatorial Internship and what was entailed. Cameron and Pedro eagerly took Senator Cantwell up on her offer and completed the application process last winter.

Both boys are excited to further their interests in politics and law. They will learn firsthand about our legislative branch during their summer stint on Capitol Hill. Their Internships begin the 29th of June and may extend through the 20th of August.

As interns, Cam and Pedro will work hand in hand with legislative staff, constituent relations staff, communications staff and administrative staff. Each intern will assist with leading tours of the US Capitol, front office reception, and various constituent services and events.

Senator Cantwell looks for students who demonstrate leadership, thoughtfulness, creativity, a strong attention to detail, and a sense of public service. Both Cameron and Pedro are looking forward to representing our valley and state in Washington, DC. They find the opportunity as a great honor and privilege.

Fireworks Sales Begin June 28th
Written by Karen Jones, Deputy State Fire Marshal, WSP   
Saturday, 27 June 2009

ImagePersonal Fireworks Require Personal Responsibility

Washington State Fire Marshal - State Fire Marshal Michael G. Matlick announced today that with retail fireworks stands opening across the state on June 28th, everyone is reminded that, “Personal fireworks require personal responsibility.”

In 2008, 785 fireworks incidents were reported to the State Fire Marshal’s Office, with 27% of these incidents having no adult supervision. This included 267 injuries, of which 95 were children under the age of 14. “There is much that can be done to protect children and others from fireworks injuries,” says Matlick who offers the following, “First, set family boundaries, only adults should light fireworks. Supervision is paramount in keeping children safe. Second, fireworks should not be readily available to tempt the curiosity of young children, and should be stored in a secured location to prohibit their access. Third, check with your local fire or police department for additional restrictions in your area. Most importantly talk about safety. Summer weather conditions make grass and other vegetation dry and vulnerable to fire. Use care in selecting the area where you will be discharging fireworks.”

Don’t take any chances; be sure the fireworks you purchase are legal to possess and discharge. Know the dates and times fireworks are allowed in your community. Stay away from high powered illegal explosive devices such as M80’s and M100’s. The damage they cause can be devastating, life altering, and even result in death.

Remember the three B’s of fireworks safety:

  • Be Prepared—Have water nearby and put pets indoors,
  • Be Safe—Only adults should light fireworks, and
  • Be Responsible—clean up fireworks debris.

Attending a public display is a safe and fun way to enjoy fireworks.

To learn about a community fireworks display near you, visit our website at http://www.wsp.wa.gov/fire/fireworks.htm.

For more information contact your local fire department, or the Office of the State Fire Marshal at (360) 596-3916.

The Office of the State Fire Marshal is a Bureau of the Washington State Patrol, providing fire and life safety services to the citizens of Washington State including inspections of state licensed facilities, plan review of school construction projects, licensing of fire sprinkler contractors and pyrotechnic operators, training Washington State’s firefighters, and collecting emergency response data.
