The Clipper

What is an issue or topic you are passionate about?

I passionately believe that every. person. matters.

What’s on your bucket list?

Still haven’t made it to Tokyo Disney. I am excited to experience the atmosphere and the culture of Disney Parks outside of the United States. Tokyo DisneySea is top of my list!

Who’s your favorite fictitious character? Why?

Jo March from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. She was spirited and courageous, plucky and brave. She refused to be hindered by society’s bridles. I grew up reading the book and watching the 1949 movie version. (June Allyson got it right!)

Where does The Clipper fit into your long-term goals?

I love learning. My dream job is to work as a producer in the educational media sector. Being a part of The Clipper allows me the opportunity to explore, ask questions, learn new things and listen to experiences different from my own. The medium of journalism is teaching me new ways to communicate.

What is something you think everyone should do at least once?

Cook from scratch. It can be something incredibly simple. Chop some veggies and stir-fry them in a little avocado oil; add some sea salt. There is something soul-quenching about taking part in preparing your own food.

When it comes to food, it’s good to look to friends and community, says EvCC nutrition instructor Nancy Vandenberg. “It doesn’t have to be fancy. Just come up with a few reliable recipes that you would be comfortable serving to others. Buy some nice placemats or a tablecloth. Don’t stress and have fun,” Vandenberg says.

Social Justice & Current Events Coordinator Cameron Calder poses for the “I’m voting green because…” campaign as Max Tinsley snaps a quick pic. Calder says, “I'm voting green because I think that being a good steward of the earth is something that we all should strive to do. We only have one planet, and as much as I like my Starbucks breakfast every morning, I think that if I were to abstain for one or two days and use that money to help pay the green fee, I would absolutely rather do that. What's more important- the Earth, or my latte?” To see how other students’ responded, visit everettcc.edu/greenfee

Charge it! Electric vehicle charging stations, located near the maintenance building, were provided by sustainability grants. Lately, those grants have been harder to come by. Molly Beeman, EvCC’s Sustainability and Resource Conservation Manager, says the proposed green fee “can actually help this college move towards lower emissions goals because the money will be collected from, but managed by and distributed by, students.” Max Tinsley affirms, “It’s entirely on the student’s terms. The benefit of that is we get to decide what our campus does. Every little project impacts us in some way… directly or indirectly.”

Thomas Sams and Mandi Stelter (pictured, right) meet every Thursday in Parks Café to have breakfast and work on projects for their communications class. Today, Thomas brought three dozen heart-shaped doughnuts. What had been intended as a romantic Valentine’s gesture for his wife the previous evening – 1 dozen for every year of their marriage – are now up for grabs. He shook his head as he said, “She actually told me, ‘These donuts are so bad they are not worth the carbs.’” He continues: “I wanted to surprise her. I tried – I hate holidays!” Sams adds he “drove all the way to Shoreline” to buy the donuts; “It came from the heart.” He shrugs and offers, “Want one?”
