The American Legion Posts of Washington State

Dear American Legion Posts,

The citizens of Evergreen Boy's State would like to thank you for the invaluable opportunity to

attend this program. This past week we have learned from legislators, judges, senior staff, junior

staff, and many representatives of real- word politics on Washington State government. Earlier

in the week, we heard that the vision of Evergreen Boy's State is to learn the system and we can

truthfully say we have done just that. This understanding of Washington State government has

molded us into more informed voters and young men – but most importantly, educated citizens

of Washington State. We hope that we have represented our respective sponsoring American

Legion Posts to the high standard that was placed upon as the best of the best. We are forever

changed by this extraordinary program, and we are forever indebted to the American Legion.

Sincerely,

Michael K. Bervell

Governor

Snohomish County Sheriff

Mr. Ty Trenary

Ty Trenary, Snohomish County Sheriff, spoke with the delegates of Evergreen Boys State Monday morning.

What I learned from Mr. Ty Trenary…

“I learned about leadership and how important it is to

connect with the people you are looking out for. I also

leaned how the sheriff has to work with many different

organization to accomplish tasks like rescue missions.”

-Cameron Blecha, City of Juniper

“I felt the sheriff wasn’t really giving a speech but was

just in a regular conversation between himself and the

audience. This helped me be relaxed but attentive and

not get bored. I also liked the large amount of time

allotted for questions from the audience. I felt the

sheriff answered them quite well.”

-Stenn Monson, City of Fir

“After hearing Sheriff Trenary speak, I learned a lot

more about the clear distinction of structure in city,

county and state police forces. Moreover, my eyes

were opened to the potential issues that arise when

these groups work together. For example, the sheriff

referenced both the benefits and drawbacks of the Oso

landslide. This, I believe, was the most valuable

learning experience.”

-Michael Bervell, City of Hemlock



WA Representative 25th District

Mr. Hans Zeiger

Hans Zeiger, Representative from the 25th Legislative District, spoke with the delegates of Evergreen Boys State Tuesday afternoon about State government and how important it is to have new voices take their turn in government.

What I learned from Mr. Hans Zeiger…

“Relationships are the most important aspect of

politics. If one has good relationships and good social

skills, they have a strong chance at doing many things

and gaining support for any government position.”

-Trevor Joireman, City of Hemlock

“The power to be a politician does not come from

yourself but it comes from the people. Becoming a

leader develops from the ability to make personal

connections. Most importantly, Hans referenced how

we should not invest in a bureaucratic government

because it does not respect the people.”

-Michael Bervell, City of Hemlock

“I learned that its easier to oust incumbents at the State

level because money isn’t as important. I also learned

that there is a heavy rivalry between Houses.”

-Conor Cunningham, City of Juniper



Retired Whatcom County Superior

Court Judge

Honorable Steven Mura

The Honorable Steve Mura, retired Whatcom County Superior Court Judge, spoke with the delegates of Evergreen Boys State Wednesday afternoon in regards to the duties of being a Judge and the experiences he has had during his time in office.

What I learned from the Honorable

Steven Mura…

“I learned an unbelievably large amount about the

Court System. Great insight on the life of the lawyer

and the military academy and its benefits. The speaker

was great and I highly value the knowledge of the

courts, common sense, and the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’

when being both a prosecuting attorney or defending

attorney”

- Bradley Rehwaldt, City of Juniper
