For those of you who didn't attend our Snohomish County Heritage Day and
Malstrom Award Luncheon, We'd like to announce that the winner of the
Malstrom Award for 2011 projects was the publication "Stuck in the Mud -
The history of Warm Beach Washington" written by Penny Hutchison Buse.

Here is a summary of the judging statement by Eric Taylor of 4Culture in
King County----

"In my opinion, this impressive publication merits the Malstrom Award,
based on the following criteria:

    The book provides new or unique historic information, interpretation or
discoveries by presenting a comprehensive history of an often-overlooked
area of Snohomish County.   It contributes to the preservation or
interpretation of Snohomish County history by documenting Warm Beach’s
significant events and changes over time, as recorded in the public record,
and by adding the author’s personal views as asides throughout the text. By
preserving the area’s history in one far-reaching volume, the author has
created a valuable reference for future researchers.    The author has made
use of best museum, research or digital practices as evidenced by the
book’s extensive bibliography and conscientious attention to illustration
credits.    The publication demonstrates an effective collaboration with
other community organizations by including relevant material from local,
regional, state, and international archives. In addition, the partnership
with the Stanwood Area Historical Society contributes to the growth of
community heritage resources.   The author has made creative use of
resources by producing a final manuscript that, in all likelihood, far
surpasses the scope of the original project. Penny Hutchison Buse has done
an outstanding job of weaving together documents, photographs, and
recollections into an easily approachable local history that obviously is a
labor of love. “Stuck In The Mud” promises to be a valuable and treasured
Snohomish County historical resource for years to come."
