LAKEWOOD — The Twin Lakes County Park saw close to 500 folks stop by to cast their lines into the water as part of the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club’s six-hour family fishing event on Saturday, May 19. Of the club members who helped coordinate the event, Buz Bauman estimated they lent out 60-70 fishing poles to kids up to their teens, while Jim Brauch figured the $4,000 that the club spent bought close to 4,000 fish to stock the pond that day. “Some of those fish are about 10 pounds,” Brauch said. “We had wall-to-wall people when we started this morning,” fellow club mem-
ber Jim Hale said that afternoon, when the crowds had thinned out. “There must have been 75 people then.” Brauch and Hale laughed as they noted that, regardless of how successful any of the fishing families were, the day’s catch yielded a guaranteed meal for at least one event attendee. “It’s been a feast for the eagle,” Hale said of the bird that flew overhead, occasionally swooping low enough to skim the water. “We have a few fishers who have been doing catch-andrelease, but some of them have killed their fish, either while bringing them in or throwing them back out.” Indeed, while fish dinners were on the menu for many attendees that day, most of the kids casting out their
TULALIP — Cmdr. Dan Limberg, executive officer of Naval Station Everett, credited the surrounding community with contributing to the station’s success during his “State of the Station” address to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on Friday, May 18. Limberg delivered the annual address on behalf of Naval Station Everett Commanding Officer Capt. Michael Coury, and explained how the station and its ships are helping to serve the Navy’s missions of maritime security, threat deterrence, sea control and power projection.
The USS Nimitz has replaced the USS Abraham Lincoln which is no longer home-ported at Naval Station Everett after it departed the station for the last time near the end of last year to cruise through the Pacific and Indian Oceans as part of its six-month global deployment, before pulling into its new homeport at Norfolk, Va., for a 40-month overhaul and refueling of its nuclear reactors. Last year, the USS Ingraham deployed to and coordinated with Latin American and Caribbean countries to combat trafficking of narcotics and other contraband, and aided in intercepting 450 kilograms of
such illicit materials in the process. “This enhances our regional security,” Limberg said. Limberg described the Asian Pacific region as “a strategic pivot point” that accounts for 30 percent of global weapons sales. The ships in the aircraft carrier battle group hosted by Naval Station Everett patrol as far as the Strait of Hormuz, through which Limberg noted that 20 percent of the world’s crude oil is shipped from the Persian Gulf to world markets.
