Do you know a high school student that's thinking about going into the military after high school? If they're interested in attending any of the military academies, this is the meeting for them.

Rep. Rick Larsen is hosting an information session to get interested teens informed about obtaining a Congressional nomination to any of the military service academies. Representatives from the five service academies will be on hand to answer questions and help students go through the application and nomination process.

The meeting, which is co-sponsored by Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, will be held at 6:30 on May 22 at the Mount Vernon City Council Chambers.

Students interested in participating should contact Kate Osterback, Service Academy Coordinator for Congressman Rick Larsen, with any questions at (425) 252-3188 or Kate.Osterback@mail.house.gov.

Everett Transit has updated its proposed service changes for August, with five public meetings set to discuss the changes.

The first one is Tuesday night at Everett Station from 6-7 p.m., with another meeting from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Carl Gipson Senior Center in downtown Everett.

After the five meetings, the Everett City Council will take up the proposal at its June 6 meeting. The council will likely hear final comments at that meeting, which will also consider a fare increase in January from 75 cents to $1. Sunday service would also be preserved, but at a reduced level.

The changes have been proposed to try and make up a budget shortfall at the city agency, having brought in $3 million less in tax revenue in 2011 than in 2008, with less expected in 2012. Initial meetings were held in March and April, with Everett Transit adjusting its initial proposal to try and reflect some of the concerns made at the earlier meetings.

Marysville and Tulalip will be seeing a lot of motorcycle cops around the area this week, but that's been expected.

The Tulalip Resort Casino is hosting the North American Motorcycle Officers Association Conference this week, with over 400 officers from around the Northwest and western Canada taking part. It's the 30th year of the convention, and Lynnwood Police is the host agency for this year's event.

Part of the event, which is the largest convention of motorcycle officers in the country, is a competition that is open to the public to watch. That happens on Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Officers will be competing in singles and pairs events in skills competitions, barrel riding and precision riding.

In fact, the inside events on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be open to the public. That includes a vendor show, a chance to meet factory representatives from BMW, Harley Davidson, Honda and Victory, tour the 5,000 square foot vendor tent and learn more about motorcycle safety from those who ride powerful bikes for a living.
