Even teens report trying heroin A new study finds higher rates of experimentation among students in Snohomish County than statewide. By Sharon Salyer
in Snohomish County, a survey of area students indicates that experimentation with heroin even extends to middle and high schools. Of 12th-graders in Snohomish

While a report in January warned that heroin use among adults was becoming epidemic
County who participated in the Healthy Youth Survey, 5.7 percent of them reported having tried heroin at least once. That exceeds the survey’s statewide average of 3.2 percent, said Heather Thomas, a spokeswoman for the Snohomish Health District. “It’s eye-opening,” Thomas said. “People need to be aware it’s
out there. It’s important for parents to look at the data and have discussions with their children.” Some 2.8 percent of eighth grade students and 3.6 percent of 10th-graders reported using the drug at least once. This was the first time a question about heroin use was in the Healthy Youth Survey, which also
asked nearly 12,000 area sixth-, eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders about their use of other drugs, alcohol, tobacco and electronic cigarettes. About 56 percent of all students in those grades responded to the survey last October. See HEROIN, back page, this section

made of a plastic-like material, Jasmine said. Saturday was the first time they tried the compressions on a real person. “It was not the same,” she said. From class, they knew not to stop, Hailey said. After about five minutes, the man started gasping for air. Hailey’s little sister, Meleah, 11, watched it all take place. A few minutes later, police and paramedics arrived and took over. One of the police officers on scene told the girls the man wouldn’t have made it without their CPR, Hailey said. They believed the man, who appeared to be in his 30s, had a drug overdose.
OLYMPIA — The first major change in state policy inspired by the Oso mudslide cleared the final legislative hurdle Wednesday. The state House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a Senate bill directing the Department of Natural Resources to expand advanced landform mapping and make the resulting data widely available online. Under the bill, which now goes to Gov. Jay Inslee for his expected signature, the agency is to collect and disseminate detailed information on landslide-prone areas in the state. Monroe Republican Rep. Elizabeth Scott, who represents the communities devastated by the March 22, 2014, mudslide, spoke briefly on the House floor before the final vote. “This is a great bill,” she said. “We’re very excited to see it come to passage.” Scott said that if the public can easily access map data on a website, it “will put a lot of fears to rest” by giving property owners information with which to assess geologic threats. The bill passed 97-0 in the House. The Senate approved it 48-0 in February.

Saturday evening, Hailey Enick, 15, (left) and Jasmine Daniels, 15, (top right) were driving through the McDonald’s parking lot off of Marine Drive NE in Tulalip with Hailey’s mom, Nicole Enick, and her younger sister, Meleah, 11, (below), when they came across a man who had overdosed and was unconscious. The girls, who had learned CPR in their freshmen health class at Everett High School, were able to pull the man from his car and resuscitate him while they waited for paramedics to arrive.
I was shaking the whole time, but they were brave.

TULALIP — It was the night before Hailey Enick’s 15th birthday. Hailey, her mom, best friend and little sister were picking up a Spider-Man cake for the birthday party from a store on the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Hailey’s mom, Nicole Enick, decided to drive the long way back to I-5 toward their home in Everett. She’s originally from the reservation, and she wanted to get a good picture of Saturday’s lunar eclipse. The moon was “huge and red and orange,” said Jasmine Daniels, who’s been Hailey’s best friend since the fifth grade.

Hailey and Jasmine knew what to do. The Everett High School freshmen had recently taken CPR training from their health teacher, Darrell Olson. The training for students is organized through the Medic One Foundation and the Everett Fire Department. The girls pulled the roughly 250-pound man from his driver’s seat and began taking turns doing chest compressions. He had a pulse, but he wasn’t breathing and his eyes were rolled into the back of his head, Hailey said. “I was shaking the whole time, but they were brave,” Nicole Enick said. In class, the girls had practiced CPR on fake hollow chests
