Look inside for neighbors in business fall edition Cascade proved no match for Lake at the latter’s Home- coming on October 20, a 55-7 Viking win. All Vikings’ minds and hearts then turned to the following October 27  game at Monroe, for the second straight sea- son an epic tilt which will de- cide the Wesco 4A champion- ship.  Monroe is itching to wipe away the bitterness of last year’s 42-3 blowout, while Lake, a team featuring an unusually large number of underclass- men  and  is finally recovering from some key injuries, looks to keep its string of league championships alive.  As for Homecoming, the traditional halftime “Running of the Great White Chicken” proved to be more dramatic than the actual game, which (as expected) was no contest. Lake beats Cascade, 55-7 –Wesco title game at Monroe this Friday Lake scored on all six of its first half possession to lead 41-0 at halftime, then added two more TDs on its first two gambits in the second half.  Reserves played the remainder of the running-clock game and finally surrendered a touch- down in the game’s final mo- ments. Lake outgained Cascade by 506 yards to 219, including 145 yards and three TDs in seven carries by Tom Lewis and 81 yards and two TDs in six car- ries by Kayshawn Mounarath.  Reserve Dallas Landeros add- ed 63 yards and a TD in 10 car- ries. Conor Bardue completed nine passes in 10 attempts (all in the first half) for 140 yards including TD passes to An- thony Hutchinson and Austin Murren.  Freshman Tanner Jel- lison completed all four of his passes in the fourth quarter, Firefighters, Paramedics and EMTs in Lake Stevens are consistently on-call, ready for every emergency that comes their way. These first responders are always willing to help those in need and now they are asking for your help in maintaining the funds needed to continue with their top-rated service. The Emergency Medical Service Levy was last voter ap- proved in the year 2000 for the maximum amount allowed by law, which is 50 cents for every $1,000 per assessed value of your home. With property values drop- ping in the past years, the levy rate is now at 32 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. “Currently the Fire District is debt-free but with inflation and call rates increasing, the district would like to continue to manage our finances with a balanced budget,” Lake Ste- vens Fire Chief Kevin O’Brien explained. In 2016, 76 percent of the 5,655 calls to the fire district Lake Stevens Fire asks for your vote on EMS levy lift were EMS calls. That is an in- crease of 35 percent over the last six years. “Our costs for supplies such as equipment, replacing am- bulances and first aid supplies all have gone up in the last few years,” O’Brien said. Lake Stevens Fire averages three to four minutes to re- spond to a call and they want to continue to be able to keep those calls times. Having the best equipment and vehicles will help ensure the best care possible. “We have great service here at Lake Stevens Fire and that service is all about time,” O’Brien said. “Our cardiac sur- vival rates here in Lake Stevens are higher than both the state and national average.” The national survival rate for cardiac care by EMS is 33.9 percent. In Washington it is 45.7 per- cent and Lake Stevens’ rate is 57.1 percent.
