Welcome to all of you. Ladies and Gentlemen please help me welcome the Lakefair Queen, Maria Noonan.”
With permission of the Senate, business was suspended to allow Lake Fair Queen, Maria Anne Noonan to address the Senate.
REMARKS BY MARIA ANNE NOONAN
Maria Anne Noonan: “Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. My name is Maria Anne Noonan and I’m honored to be this year’s Capital Lakefair Queen. I’d like to welcome you all and thank you. I also want to thank you for providing me with the opportunity to speak to you on such a great occasion. It is a true honor and privilege. Recently Washington State was struck with a devastating weather disaster causing a state of emergency to be declared. I’ve seen first hand the loss and devastation to properties, communities and families. This disaster hit me at a very personal level. Sandbagging to protect houses in my own community during the hours of the storm. Going to every store, shop, restaurant and deli noticing the donation boxes and I along with others put food and money in those at every opportunity. Later going to Rochester and cleaning up and rebuilding homes and giving a hope to the flood families was nothing less than inspirational. These experiences and opportunities made me realize how important flood control and disaster relief programs are especially to our state. During Hurricane Katrina and 9-11, we all made statements that it would be more helpful if the crisis were closer. We can not get much closer to crisis than right in your own backyard. Our state holds true to that promise by family, friends, neighbors and complete strangers rising to the occasion in reaching out. For without that more lives would have been lost. When I had the chance to help in my fire cadet program driving utility rig from scene to scene sandbagging and making sure homes were ok, I realized how important it is to help those who help us. Even as a little girl I always wanted to be a firefighter like my dad. Serving others is what my future career field is all about. Now being the age I am and having the chance to actually be involved I realize more than ever how much we’re able to deal and how often we are called upon to assist others. I’m not talking about only firefighters, I’m speaking all public service groups such as the. police, EMS, teachers, doctors and even senators. I believe it is important for everyone to take a moment to help their community in any way possible. We need to show our appreciation for the beautiful city that we reside in. Consequently, I want to thank you all for reaching out and making our cities even better while extending and improving our wonderful state of Washington. We’re all in this together and I believe every citizen in our community can learn a lesson from you. ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.’ This quote is stated by renowned anthropologist Margaret Mead. My hope is not only for you but for everyone else as well. Remember, dreams really do come true. Thank you again for the opportunity to present my speech. I hope you all have a wonderful year.”
INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS
The President welcomed and introduced Mr. Samuel Green, Washington State's Poet Laureate, who was seated at the rostrum.
With permission of the Senate, business was suspended to allow Washington State Poet Laureate Samuel Green to address the Senate.
INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS
The President introduced Samuel Green’s wife Sally who was seated at the rostrum and Kris Tucker, the Executive Director of the Washington States Arts Commission.
REMARKS BY SAMUEL GREEN
Samuel Green: “Mr. President, members of the Senate, guests. It’s such an honor to be here. I spend a great deal of my time traveling from place to place teaching poetry. You spend your’s moving among your constituents keeping in touch. No doubt many of you have stopped to get a bite to eat before moving on to another meeting at some fast food place. I was doing just that once, eating Chinese food in a supermarket on the Kitsap Peninsula hoping for enough strength to get me through two classes of seventh graders when I noticed an elderly man come to the door in the arm of a much younger woman, his daughter I thought. She patted him, excuse me, she led him to a table and helped him sit down, patted him fondly on the shoulder and went off. He was wearing a tweed jacket with a handkerchief in the breast pocket and I wrote this poem of a record of what happened next.
‘Old man folding a kerchief in the supermarket. He has used it to wipe the filth from the table where his daughter has left him to do her shopping. Spilling it from the pocket of his jacket like a small blue lake, the color of an old house dress. Now, he is folding it back into shape with blunt fingers watching intently his hands as though they might betray him. For ten minutes this has been his work and he has gathered all the deliberate threads of his attention into this single act oblivious to the fact that anyone might be watching, that he might be teaching us all how to live. You and I share a job in common, we have to take the apparently disparate and put it together so that it’s useful to as many people as possible. All my life I trusted poetry to do this for me, the making of it, the careful reading of it, the unexpected encounter with it in odd places. The old man in this poem reminds us I think how important it is to pay attention, that excellence is adequate, that even the smallest jobs are worthy of our best work. At the beginning a new year with so much labor ahead of us he’s a good companion for us all I think. Thank you for your kind attention.’”
PERSONAL PRIVILEGE
Senator Brown: “Thank you Mr. President. Well, I wanted to say a big welcome to everyone. To you Mr. President, thank you for being back with again this session and to all the Senate staff both those at the rostrum and those who have been working behind the scenes to prepare the chamber for our arrival. We’re back, for better or worse. To all my forty-eight colleagues as well, welcome back. In particular to the Senators who are new with us this session, Senator King and Senator McDermott, welcome to both of you. This session will not be quite as short as the special session that you experienced with us but we hope it will be a very productive session. I just want to say on behalf of those Senators who are grappling right now in their districts with the aftermath of the storm and flood damage that our hearts go out to you and to your constituents and that we do plan to announce very soon a process, a Senate work group that all Senators will be invited to participate in. It will be headed by Senator Fraser in which we can bring our concerns and ideas forward so that we can get on top of being able to provide some assistance in this very short session. Again, welcome to all and hopes for a very productive session.”
MOTION
On motion of Senator Eide, the Senate advanced to the third order of business.
