‘Nutcracker' performers get first taste of Everett Visitors from far, far away are coming to Everett for the first time.They aren't packing side arms and beef jerky, but they are expecting to see the wild, wild West. The Moscow Ballet's Great Russian “Nutcracker” performs Sunday in Everett. For more information, see our A&E section Friday. Josh Rupp with the Moscow Ballet, says Everett seems so far away from New York City. “It's the first time we have traveled to the city or even Washington state,” Rupp says. “I tend to think of that area of the United States as another continent.” We wrote about Mitchell Warriner Nov. 9, “Digging into JFK's death remains a lifelong passion.” Warriner is writing a book, “The Consequence of Truth: A Study Into the Investigation of Jim Garrison and the Trial of Clay Shaw,” about an assassination investigation by a New Orleans district attorney. Warriner wasn't alive when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, but the study of what happened is his passion. And others have the same zeal. John Judge with the Coalition on Political Assassinations in Washington, D.C., asked to get in touch with Warriner. “COPA is the organization that was formed to oversee the implementation of the JFK Assassinations Records Act, which has led to the release of over 6.5 million pages of records to date,” Judge says. “We are currently promoting passage of a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Records Act in Congress.” Another person who wanted to connect with Warriner is our state auditor, Brian Sonntag. He says he was in the sixth grade when President Kennedy was killed. Sonntag remembers watching television news coverage for four days, including when Lee Harvey Oswald was shot on live television, he added. Souped-up car drivers can be generous with the soup. Wayne Cuddy, owner of Vision Tints Racing in Everett, challenged car clubs to bring in food donations for the Volunteers of America food bank. Nonperishable goods are stacking up, says his wife, Kristi Cuddy. “The team with the most donations by weight will have their name placed on a plaque that will hang in the showroom,” Kristi Cuddy says. “At the end of the drive, the clubs will all drive together to the food bank for the weigh-in.” The challenge ends Saturday. She says souped-up car drivers may be associated with negative things, like racing, she says, so it's nice to have the positive image of collecting food. And her husband drives a burnt orange Subaru Impreza WRX. “Can't miss it,” she says. Bickford Motors will be honored today by the Snohomish Chamber of Commerce, A luncheon is planned for 11:30 a.m. at the Cabbage Patch Restaurant, 111 Ave. A, Snohomish. Founded by Lawrence Bickford in 1935, the Ford dealership was first located on First Street in downtown Snohomish. Lawrence Bickford turned the operations over to his son Art Bickford, and now the third generation, Mike and Bob Bickford, are at the wheel. Kristi O'Harran: 425-339-3451, oharran@heraldnet.com |
