Mayor - Council Page 2 - 1 City of Everett 2011 Operating Budget Community Profile WASHINGTON STATE Nestled between the beautiful Cascade Mountain Range to the east, the Puget Sound with its hundreds of forested islands to the west, and with the Snohomish River and easy-to-access lakes close at hand, Everett is a splendid place to live. Industrialists from the east saw Everett's potential as a business hub more than a century ago and led its development as a lumber and mill town. Today, the area offers a high quality of life, a vital center for businesses of all types and an important deep-water port that provides access to overseas markets. As the county seat, Everett is the center of economic development activity in Snohomish County with an expanding high-technology industrial base, a deep-water port accessing the Pacific Ocean, an established, world-renowned aircraft manufacturing plant and state-of-the-art naval station. Opportunities abound in our city. The City of Everett is home to more than 100,000 citizens on 25,000 acres of land and 9,600 acres of water. It is the sixth largest city in the State of Washington and home to the second biggest marina on the West Coast. The area boasts a wide range of family-centered entertainment, cultural, recreational and educational opportunities. The climate is relatively mild year-round, with seemingly endless outdoor recreational activities.

Scheduled opening in summer 2011. • Everett Community College: Whitehorse Hall, the first of four new high-tech buildings planned for the campus, opened in early 2007. It represents the first phase in a $200 million upgrade and expansion of the school which will provide new labs, computer centers, art studios, and classrooms. In April 2009, Gray Wolf Hall opened and will be home to the University Center of North Puget Sound, with classes in humanities, social sciences, and communications. Recent land purchases will allow the campus to gradually shift its “front door” focus from Wetmore Avenue on the west side to Broadway on the east side, adding more new buildings and parking on that side of campus. In 2008 the North Everett Transit Center opened on the east side of campus along with new parking areas for students. Construction on a new physical education building has recently been completed.

  • Safety Alert 21-01 (Pilot Transfer Arrangements) V1.0
    SAFETY ALERT 2021-01 Version No. 1 Issue Date 08/01/2021 Pilot transfer arrangements 1. Purpose 1.1. This Safety Alert is issued by The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) to bring the results of the International Maritime Pilot Association (IMPA) Safety Campaign 2020 to the attention of seafarers, pilots, owners, managers and Classification Societies. 2. Introduction 2.1 IMPA represents the international community of pilots. It conducts an annual safety campaign with the objective of reporting pilots’ experiences of ladders and boarding equipment to the International Maritime Organization and the wider shipping community. This year’s campaign is especially relevant following the tragic death of two pilots, whilst attempting to board vessels using combination ladders, since the last campaign. 2.2 2020’s campaign received 6394 reports from pilots operating across the world. Broadly in line with previous years’ findings, 12.11% of arrangements were reported to be non- compliant with combination ladders and pilot ladders having the most defects by both number and percentage. SA 2021-01 SAFETY ALERT Page 1 of 4 SAFETY ALERT [YEAR CREATED]-01 3. Common defects 3.1 Broadly, reported defects can be categorised in to four areas: design, procedure, rigging and maintenance. 3.2 Procedural issues can be avoided through clear communication and implementation of requirements: 3.3 Defects identified in the rigging and maintenance of ladders are generally self- explanatory and can be reduced through an effective planned maintenance regime and consistent application of guidance: 3.4 Many of the common issues found with securing of pilot ladders are steps taken by crews as a way to work around constraints imposed by deck cargo, loading or other prevailing circumstances.

A system of career ladders provides opportunity for all Californians to attain jobs that provide a living wage and to advance to positions requiring greater skills, responsibilities, and accordingly, higher pay. o Employer needs are better met, and workforce and economic development in California is enhanced by the increasing supply of skilled workers. (Ladders of Opportunity, BOG-CCC 2001) Career Ladders can help students: n Move within and across programs in the college n Move between the college and other educational institutions n Benefit from the multiple missions of the CCC’s – basic skills, vocational education, general education, and transfer n Move along educational and career pathways n

  • Ladders – Issue Eight
    LADDERS The recruit newsletter of the South Euclid Fire Department Climbing to a career as a firefighter in the South Euclid Fire Department, one rung at a time. Issue Eight Your Resume Is your resume ready to go? Have you ever written a resume? In this issue we will discuss resumes, first working on items to put in the resume and then how to prepare the resume. A proper and well written resume will not help you advance your career unless it contains the experience and training employers are looking for. These qualifications can be worked on while you pursue your dream job. The focus must be on what makes you an exceptional candidate. You should work on your basic training first, fire school and medic school. Experience is very valuable, even if it is part time, volunteer or in a field related to firefighting. Even your non-fire education can be an asset. Degrees in fire related fields are preferred but even degrees in non-fire related fields show your strength in education. There are numerous opportunities for you to add to your resume. Consider on-line classes that are low cost or free. Work on other certifications such as fire inspector, instructor or arson investigation. All of these relevant items on your resume demonstrate your training, skills and passion for the job. Other items such as involvement in community organizations help the potential employer see that you care about the community. The actual resume is not hard to write. The internet is full of help and examples. Resumes should be easy to read, and contain only relevant information.

  • Sr. B Timbermen Load up for Title Run
    Sr. B Timbermen load up for title run Nanaimo enters second half of WCSLA season tied for first, add Nick Patterson and Russel Thomas BY JOSH ALDRICH, DAILY NEWS JUNE 13, 2013 The Nanaimo Acme Painting Timbermen are not satisfied with simply having a good first half of the season. Their goals are far loftier. Sitting tied for first at the midway point of the West Coast Senior B Lacrosse Association season, the T-Men (6-1-0) have bolstered their goaltending and offence as they head into this weekend's action. In net, they have added veteran National Lacrosse League goalie, and Victoria Sr. A Shamrocks hold out, Nick Patterson. And up front veteran forward Russel Thomas, who led the team in scoring in the playoffs last season, has returned. Despite the Timbermen's hot start, general manager Shawn Swanson is not resting on his laurels. "Definitely happy with the record, but we definitely have some room to improve with our play on the floor," he said. The Timbermen are tied with the Ladner Pioneers (6-0-0) with 12 points, while the Tri-City Bandits (5- 1-0) are right behind them with 10 points. Goaltending has not been an issue to this point for the Timbermen, but Swanson says if they have the opportunity to get even better at a position, they are going to do it. Danny Walters and Pat Mallough have split time in net this year. Mallough carried a 0.819 save percentage and a 8.18 goals against average in 198 minutes played, while Walters carries a 0.794 save percentage and a 7.30 goals against average.
