Arlington toy store serves families in need

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The second floor of the Arlington American Legion Post 76 again served as the site for the holiday toy store serving the client families of the Arlington Community Food Bank, on the afternoon and evening of Dec. 18, but according to the annual event’s volunteer organizers, it almost didn’t happen this year.

Operation Christmas Hope, an affiliation of banks and other businesses throughout Arlington and Smokey Point, stepped up to collect for and coordinate the toy store this year, after the Arlington American Legion was unable to continue its more-than-20-year run of conducting the col-

Tina Davis, of the Union Bank branch in downtown Arlington, served as one of the coordinators of this year’s Operation Christmas Hope, and she was joined by more than 30 fellow volunteers in helping the parents and guardians of close to 700 children pick out toys for all ages of boys and girls on Dec. 18.

“Each of our families were able to pick out one large toy, one toy each for every boy and girl, a piece of clothing, a game for the whole family and some stocking stuffers,” Davis said. “Everybody’s been very generous. Walmart gave us SEE TOYS, PAGE 13

EVERETT — Arlington’s Hayley Brickle was 7 months old when her daddy finally came home.

Hayley and her mom, Jessica Brickle, arrived at Naval Station Everett on the morning of Dec. 16, where they waited to greet Jessica’s husband, Petty Officer 2nd Class McCord Brickle, with the return of the USS Nimitz from its extended deployment.

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier had left Everett on March 30 for what was originally planned as a six-month deployment, which turned into nearly nine months when the Nimitz and its strike group were called upon to remain in the 5th Fleet area of responsi-

bility in response to what the U.S. Navy deemed a tense international situation.

This left local moms like Jessica Brickle holding the fort without their husbands for a bit longer than they’d expected.

“I learned to do a lot of things by myself,” said Jessica Brickle, who’s been married to McCord for two of the two and a half years that he’s served in the fleet. “I was a little nervous and even scared, but it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.”

Jessica acknowledged that the separation was made easier through regular online correspondence with McCord.

NIMITZ FROM PAGE 1 “He emailed me every night, he called when he could and we Skyped in every port,” Jessica Brickle said. “Hayley was three days old when he saw her for the first time on Skype.”

Indeed, the new mom admitted that it might be as difficult to learn how to share parenting duties with her husband, now that he’s

back home.

“It’s going to be hard to share her with him,” Jessica Brickle laughed. “It’s all still so overwhelming.”

Fellow Arlington mom Andrea Daniels, the “New Mommy” coordinator for the Nimitz, split her time between helping to comfort a few other mothers’ crying children and waiting for her own husband, Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Daniels.

old boys and a 1-year-old daughter, but I couldn’t bring them today and coordinate things for the new mommies,” Andrea Daniels said, as she held up a sign informing her husband, “I can’t wait to lift with you,” since the couple shares an enthusiasm for fitness, and had planned to visit Pilchuck CrossFit in Arlington. “The extension was a bummer, but this deployment actually went by really fast for us.”

For Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Blanton, who also lives in Arlington, those nine months felt a lot longer, not in the least because he spent most of them waiting to meet his now 6-month-old daughter Bailey.

“It’s overwhelming,” Charles Blanton said, as he kissed Bailey on the forehead and embraced her mother, Kate Blanton, who met him at the pier with her parents, Tom and Linda Briggs.

“He wasn’t there to see her being born, but he was able to watch it on Skype when he was in port,” Kate Blanton said. “It’s been stressful without him, but thankfully, she’s a very good baby.”

“She’s her daddy’s baby

in that regard,” laughed Linda Briggs.

Although Arlington’s Jennifer Bueso is not a new mom, since her son Benny is 3 and her daughter Lydia is 8, this was nonetheless only the second deployment of her 11-year marriage to Petty Officer 2nd Class Holmer Bueso.

“I got lucky,” Jennifer Bueso said, while her children held up signs on the

pier for their daddy. “I just have to be as independent and positive as I can be while he’s gone, and have faith in God that he’ll see me through.”

Because of the deployment’s extension, Jennifer had to complete the process of buying a new home without Holmer this June.

“We were sending paperwork back and forth, from ship to shore,” Jennifer

Bueso said. “He hasn’t even seen the new house yet.”

“And he needs to help me clean my room,” Benny Bueso said, drawing laughter from his mother.

After Holmer Bueso helped his kids take care of their chores, he and his wife planned to enjoy some Chicken Alfredo, which was their wedding entree and has become the traditional meal for his homecomings.

MFD asks public to help them ‘Keep the Wreath Green’ MARYSVILLE — It’s that time of year again, when the Marysville Fire District asks the city’s citizens to help keep the wreath green.

As you drive by any of the district’s fire stations, you’ll notice a giant wreath covered in green bulbs, which is part of the district’s annual “Keep the Wreath Green” program.

As part of the program, the green bulbs are changed to red whenever there is

a structure fire in the Marysville Fire District. The bulbs are changed to white when a firefighter anywhere in the United States dies in the line of duty.

It’s the Marysville Fire District’s way of reminding people that, although there is a lot to keep people busy during the holiday, fire prevention should be on their minds every day.

The “Keep the Wreath Green” program runs through New Year’s Day, and will serve as a reminder, to those who pass the fire stations, to keep this holiday season a safe one.

For more information about how to keep your family fire-safe this holiday season, visit the Marysville Fire District’s website at www.marysvillefiredistrict.org.

Following the interviews, the Council met in a special session, during which Robinson was nominated and approved on a 5-0 vote.

Robinson will fill the vacancy until a suc-

cessor is elected and qualified in the 2014 general election.

“It was a difficult decision, with such qualified candidates, but I am very happy with our choice,” Council member Brian Sullivan said. “June will do an outstanding job representing her district.”

SEASON’S GREETINGS

Robinson will fill a vacancy created when John McCoy was chosen in November of this year to serve in the state Senate.

In accordance with state and county laws, the County Council began the afternoon by conducting interviews with three candidates whose names were forwarded by the Snohomish County Democratic Central Committee — Deborah Parker, Jennifer Smolen and June Robinson.

“We were impressed by the quality of these candidates,” Council Chair Stephanie Wright said. “Their diverse experiences and commitment to public service would make

Proposed dam threatens treaty rights

A

s removal of two fish-blocking dams on the Elwha River dams nears its end, I’m scratching my head. Why is a proposal to build a brand new dam on the Chehalis River watershed in Lewis County receiving serious consideration? And why is the Quinault Indian Nation being left out of the discussion?

There is no question that terrible flooding has occurred on the Chehalis during recent decades.

People’s lives and homes have been damaged and destroyed. I-5 has been closed for days.

But much of that damage has been caused by encouraging development in flood prone areas and by the unwillingness of short-sighted politicians to enact proper flood plain management systems. While a few entities have taken steps to restrict development in harm’s way from flooding, others have not. Building more dams is not the answer. Condemning an entire ecosystem and subjecting everyone who lives in the basin to the long term effects of a dam is not the best or the only way to fix the problem.

I thought we had learned our lessons about dams by now. All over the country dams are being taken out to try to undo the damage they have done to critical natural processes.

Time and again, dams have been proven to kill fish and destroy the natural functions of the watersheds after they’re built. We need to be looking forward when it comes to natural resources management. Building a flood control dam on the Chehalis is backward thinking that doesn’t contribute to sustainability of our natural world. We need to do whatever we can to avoid damage before it is done. Flood control dams prevent the river’s natural floodplain from

BEING FRANK

BILLY FRANK, JR. doing its job to help reduce the effects of flooding. While a dam may reduce how often floods occur, it can’t prevent the biggest, most damaging floods from happening.

The Chehalis River basin — the second largest in the state — already is heavily damaged.

More than 1,000 failing and under-sized culverts block access to more than 1,500 miles of salmon spawning and rearing habitat. A huge network of poorly maintained logging roads is loading silt into the river and smothering salmon egg nests. At the same time, forest cover in the basin is quickly disappearing, reducing shade needed to keep stream temperatures low for salmon A dam would only make things worse. The only thing it would be certain to do is harm salmon and steelhead at every stage of their life cycles and damage natural functions that are vital to every living thing in the Chehalis Basin.

Unfortunately, the state of Washington refuses to recognize that as a co-manager with treatyreserved property rights to fish, hunt and gather in the Chehalis Basin, the Quinault Indian Nation must be directly engaged in government-to-government discussions about flood control and measures to protect the health of the Chehalis Basin. It is painfully clear that the

Quinault’s treaty rights will suffer severely if a new dam is built. Yet the Chehalis Basin Flood Control Authority, which is due to make its recommendations on flood control measures this time next year, flatly refused to even allow the Quinault Nation to sit at the table.

Ongoing loss and damage of salmon habitat threatens tribal treaty rights. Through the tribal Treaty Rights at Risk initiative, we are asking the federal government to protect our rights and lead a more coordinated effort to recover and protect salmon in the region. One of our recommendations is a requirement that federal funding for state programs and projects be conditioned to ensure the efforts are consistent with state water quality standards and salmon recovery plan goals. That’s what should be done on the Chehalis. Preconditions should be established before allowing any federal funding to be spent to study or begin permit review processes.

As a start, commitments must be made to fully protect the ability of the Quinault Nation to exercise its treaty protected rights by addressing harmful impacts on fish, wildlife, and ecological processes. All governments in the Chehalis Basin must be required to ensure that future development in flood prone areas is not allowed.

Federal agencies, the state of Washington, and the Chehalis Flood Control Authority need to sit down with the Quinault Nation. Together, they need to address flooding issues while also meeting the needs of the natural resources and everyone in the Chehalis basin whose culture, food and livelihoods depend on those resources.

Billy Frank Jr. is the Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring is seeking individuals interested in serving on his Diversity Advisory Committee.

“Marysville is committed to becoming a more diverse, inclusive and prosperous community that values diversity,” Nehring said.

“We strive to be a community that takes pride in our diversity, creates an environment where differences are valued, and builds a sense of belonging.”

The Diversity Advisory Committee has taken actions contained in its two-year work plan to promote diversity, and to help Marysville become a more welcoming, inclusive community. The committee has conducted several community presentations with local stakeholders, developed publications in different languages, put together plans for an annual multicultural fair, and

The committee advises him on policy matters involving the community’s cultural and ethnic differences, ensuring that these differences are considered in the decision-making process.

If you are interested in serving on the committee, please send a brief letter of interest no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 27, to: Mayor Jon Nehring c/o City Clerk — Diversity Committee 1049 State Ave. Marysville, WA 98270 The committee meets on the second Monday of each month at 3:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, on the second floor of the Marysville City Hall, at 1049 State Ave. For more information, contact Diversity Advisory Committee Liaison Doug Buell by phone at 360-3638086 or via email at dbuell@ marysvillewa.gov, or visit the committee’s website at http://marysvillewa.gov/ diversity.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council’s final meeting for the year, on Dec. 16, included a final farewell to two of its Council members, who were honored by city officials.

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert prefaced her remarks by praising city of Arlington staff members for the information with which they had provided Council members throughout the year, which Tolbert credited with helping the Council work through the issues facing the city with forwardthinking solutions, before she turned her attentions to Klein.

“Ken, we’re so sorry to see you go, but we look forward to working with you again on the Snohomish County Council,” Tolbert said to Klein, whose wife Julianna and three small children — sons Jackson and Grant, and daughter Alyssa — sat in the audience. “It’s been a pleasure to serve with you.

You brought to this Council a depth of knowledge and

a real heart for the city of Arlington, which never failed to shine through. I hope your lovely family will continue to visit us.”

When Tolbert addressed Baker, she asked him to stand and presented him with a plaque in recognition of his years of service on the Council.

“You’ve had a rare heart for public service, and for 12 years, you’ve acted on behalf of the betterment of this community, helping it stay on the right direction and giving generously of your time and expertise,” Tolbert told Baker. “The last two years have been especially notable, as you’ve welcomed debates and everyone has come out better for it.”

While Klein will be taking up fellow Republican John Koster’s former seat on the Snohomish County Council, Baker joked that he’s already been asked by the Arlington Arts Council to serve as a lobbyist for their works, drawing laughter from the crowd.

As the two outgoing Council members reflected

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert, center, bid a fond farewell to outgoing City Council members Ken Klein, left, and Steve Baker at the final Council meeting for the year, on Dec. 16. on their respective tenures, they echoed each other on a number of points.

“I’ve enjoyed serving the citizens of this city,” Baker said. “I’m also proud of the changes we’ve made, because I think they’ve left this city in a lot better shape.”

“Absolutely,” Klein agreed, as two of his children joined him at his now-former Council seat, while his youngest son Grant napped in the audience seats. “What we’ve done is focus on the long-term issues, rather

than limiting our planning to every couple of years.”

Baker and Klein likewise shared many of the same opinions in the advice they would offer to their successors — Jesica Stickles and Jan Schuette, respectively, both of whom were in attendance that evening.

“Study well,” Baker said.

“Read up on everything,” Klein agreed. “Be prepared with questions. No one has all the answers to any question, so I always saw it as my duty to bring up a differing point of view.”

Jake’s House opens food bank program

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The food bank program at Jake’s House Prayer & Worship Center, located in Suite 105 at 18824 Smokey Point Blvd., was able to help at least three families in need during its inaugural Friday afternoon on Dec. 13.

Jaymi Graham, one of the coordinators of the food bank at Jake’s House, credited Arlington’s Mission Motors with donating $500, which will allow the food bank to supply meals to many more families, as its Friday afternoon distributions continue through the winter months and beyond. She also noted the roughly 15 volunteers who pitched in, a number which she acknowledged is likely to vary from week to week, depending on prospective volunteers’ availability.

“One person even got saved, which is most important, and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior,” Graham said. “This is not forced on our clients, but offered.”

Graham hopes to see at least as many volunteers and families during the food bank’s second Friday, from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on Dec. 20.

“We are ready to serve

as many people this coming Friday as God sends our way,” Graham said. “God will equip us with the blessings to provide to others.”

Graham explained that food bank clients on Dec. 13 were free to choose one of each type of food, from four cafeteria-sized tables of nonperishable food items, as well as enough individual items of clothing to assemble one complete outfit, also from four cafeteria-sized tables of neatly folded clothing items and shoes.

“Our clients could get dressed from head to toe with our clothes, and even received knitted blankets from Knit Wits and Happy Hookers,” Graham said.

Graham welcomed any new donations of nonexpired non-perishable foods, as well as winter clothes for all ages.

“Non-alcoholic beverages, baby food and other baby items were among the supplies that we weren’t able to give this past Friday, and we have no bread connections,” said Graham, who expressed her preemptive appreciation to any other local businesses that might choose to contribute to the food bank at Jake’s House. “We could really use gift cards for retail

Among the other businesses that have already donated to the Jake’s House food bank, Graham listed McDonald’s, Great Clips, Sports Clips, Subway, Little Caesar’s Pizza, Value Village, the Tree of Life Christian Outlet and the Marysville YMCA. “It’s time for a change in our communities, and the only way to conquer that is to get all our individuals and local businesses involved,” Graham said. “When families are in need, it’s not only food that is needed, because their everyday living expenses still have to be maintained.

We just want people to think

outside of the box. We want to be the change to set forth the example for our future generations.”

Graham reiterated her belief that coming together to care for one’s community is an essential part of the Christian faith, serving God by serving one’s fellow man, and she insisted that any size of donations would be appreciated.

“Without your donations, none of this would be possible,” said Graham, who also thanked the volunteer and prayer teams of Jake’s House, including pastors Keith Kippen, John Knoch, Terry Bonner and Chuck Sweet.

“Your acts of kindness will not be forgotten. We appreciate your loving hearts, hard work and dedication.”

Holiday bazaar biggest yet for Marysville Getchell For those who missed the holiday bazaar this winter, Mikesell encouraged them to visit the Marysville Getchell High School campus on May 3, 2014, for the MG FBLA’s third annual spring bazaar.

Mikesell credited School for the Entrepreneur senior Franqui Rojas with coordinating much of the event, while Rojas, who’s been in FBLA since her freshman year, insisted that Mikesell had made the process of preparing for and conducting the holiday bazaar relatively easy.

“The first week of this school year, Mikesell asked if I’d mind taking this on,” said Rojas, who’s aiming to enter the University

of Washington’s Foster School of Business. “From September through December, it’s been a crazy amount of work for everyone, but I like crazy. I loved planning this out and talking to all the vendors, because I’d like to plan events like this for my career.”

“This has been a great opportunity to help these students experience event-planning and exercise their business skills,” Mikesell said.

“It’s all organized by the students themselves. All I do is contact the vendors. The students did a great job, and I’m so proud of them.

They problem-solved, practiced outstanding customer service and worked very hard.”

“Our shoppers love all the help they get from the students, as well as the great variety of vendors’ products and foods,” Mikesell said.

“As this becomes a well-known and established annual event, more and more shoppers and vendors alike are catching on, which helps our FBLA defray the costs of participating in state and national-level businessrelated events.”

MARYSVILLE — The fourth annual holiday bazaar on the Marysville Getchell High School campus on Dec. 14 was its biggest yet, with 117 vendors in the MG gymnasium drawing an estimated 900 shoppers that Saturday, which generated $3,175 in revenue, or about $2,700 in profit, for the school’s Future Business Leaders of America.

Kris Mikesell of the Marysville Getchell School for the Entrepreneur, who serves as the faculty advisor for the MG FBLA, noted that this event began four years ago with only 35

vendors, and attributed the increase since then to effective promotion and positive experiences for the vendors themselves.

“After glancing over the reviews from the vendors, they were happy to be part of this year’s event, and are already looking forward to next year,” Mikesell said. “The kids are getting the word out to the vendors, and the vendors appreciate how the kids go the extra mile with customer service, by loading shoppers’ cars for them.”

While virtually all of the student volunteers who coordinated the event are enrolled in the School for the Entrepreneur, and most are part of FBLA, other stu-

ARLINGTON — It’s been a few years since he’s put in an appearance at Arlington Hardware & Lumber, but Santa Claus will be coming to visit with families and pose for photos on Dec. 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Amanda Jones, wife of Arlington Hardware & Lumber manager Taylor Jones, encouraged families to bring their own cameras, to capture their children’s holiday moments with old St. Nick, and welcomed visitors of all ages to check out what the rest of the store has to offer that Saturday.

“We’ve got treats for everyone,” Amanda Jones said. “We’re trying to do a

lot more community events, like when we’ve brought local wood-carvers in. We want to present activities that will bring more people into downtown Arlington, because we’re part of this community too.”

Jones noted that Arlington Hardware & Lumber offers plenty of holiday shopping opportunities, from its toy department to its selection of hard-wearing winter clothing for kids and adults alike.

“This store has an oldfashioned Christmas feel,” Jones said. “Even our toys are old-fashioned. We’ve got a lot of wooden toys and learning toys, and a huge variety of other merchandise, including a full lumberyard out back. This

Santa visits HomeStreet Bank for Food Bank kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Santa Claus and his lookalikes are no strangers to storefronts during the holiday season, but the Santa who appeared at the Marysville branch of HomeStreet Bank on State

Avenue on Dec. 17 might have seemed a bit more authentic than most, right down to the white hair of his real beard.

“I’ve been banking here at HomeStreet for several years,” said Patrick Murphy, a.k.a. St. Nick, who’s been

dressing as the jolly old elf for the past two decades or more. “The branch manager asked if I’d come in to pose for photos, to help collect food and toys for the Marysville Community Food Bank.”

“When we thought of

doing Santa pictures, to promote our ‘Giving Tree’ for the food bank’s holiday toy store, one of our employees said, ‘I know exactly the guy,’” said Kirstin Tyner, manager of the Marysville branch of HomeStreet Bank. “We even have a fireplace in our front lobby, so it’s a perfect fit.”

Rita Henry does doubleduty as an employee of the Marysville HomeStreet Bank and as chair of the ad-hoc committee for the toy store, and she was thrilled to have Murphy bringing his twinkling eyes and belly-shaking laughter to HomeStreet for the afternoon of Dec. 17.

“This is one of the best collection years we’ve had, here at HomeStreet and in general,” Henry said that day. “We’ve got about 50 gifts under our tree, and a red barrel full of food that

needs to be weighed. Our customers have been very generous.”

HomeStreet Bank wasn’t the only location in Marysville where Murphy was set to spread his seasonal spirit, since he was also scheduled to appear at Marysville-Pilchuck High School and Marysville Mountain View High School during that week.

“It all started about 20 years ago, when I was driving north on State Avenue, wearing a red fleece and hat,” Murphy said. “There were these kids in the car in front of me, sitting in the back of this station wagon, and I kept seeing their little heads pop up to look at me, and when they did a little wave, I realized they’d mistaken me for Santa, so I’ve decided to be Santa ever since.”

Murphy cherishes the enthusiastic reactions he

“This is one of the best collection years we’ve had, here at HomeStreet and in general.”

receives from children and parents alike, and has become very wellversed in the latest trends in Christmas wish-lists among young people.

“I get asked for a lot of Matchbox cars and Barbies,” Murphy said.

“Legos are still very popular. I had one girl ask me for a Dragon, and I didn’t realize she was asking for the speech recognition software, so I said, ‘Well, we’re fresh out of dragons, but I might have some snakes,’” he laughed. “Most of the kids are pretty realistic in the gifts they’re asking for.”

To Murphy, the material gifts of the season are far less important than the joy that he can help share with others.

“I do it for the smiles,” Murphy said. “There’s so much sadness in the world that I love being able to bring cheer to people. I get as much pleasure out of it as they do. It’s such a blessing.”

Snohomish County Health District offers holiday food safety tips According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 31 pathogens known to cause food-borne illness. Every year, there are an estimated 48 million cases of illness, 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths in the United States due to food-borne diseases. You can help keep your guests healthy by following these food safety tips from the Snohomish Health District.

Make sure your kitchen has everything you need for safe food handling, including two cutting boards — one for raw meats and seafood, and the other for ready-to-eat foods — a food thermometer, shallow containers for cooling and storage, paper towels and soap.

Store foods in the refrigerator at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below, or in the freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Check the temperature of both the refrigerator and freezer with a refrigerator thermometer.

At the grocery store, bag raw meat, poultry and seafood separate from readyto-eat foods like fruit, vegetables and bread. Don’t buy bruised or damaged produce, or canned goods that are dented, leaking, bulg-

ing or rusted, as these may become breeding grounds for harmful bacteria. Buy cold foods last, and bring foods directly home from the store. Always refrigerate perishable foods, such as raw meat or poultry, within two hours. Thaw frozen turkey in the refrigerator or under cold-running water. Never defrost the turkey at room temperature.

If you’ve got extra helpers in the kitchen, make sure everyone washes their hands thoroughly with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food, visiting the restroom or changing a baby’s diapers.

Keep all work surfaces sanitized. Spray or wipe on a solution of one teaspoon of unscented bleach per gallon of cold water.

When baking holiday treats, remember that no one should eat raw cookie dough or brownie batter containing raw eggs. Make eggnog with pasteurized eggs and pasteurized milk, or simply buy it ready-made with those ingredients. Adding a nip of brandy or whiskey will not kill the germs. When making homemade eggnog, be sure to cook the mixture to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then refrigerate.

Food is safely cooked when it reaches a high enough internal temperature to kill the harmful bacteria that cause illness. Cook your turkey to a minimum of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as measured with a food thermometer, including the stuffing. The healthiest method is to prepare and cook the stuffing separately, outside the bird, and test the bird’s temperature in the thickest parts of the thigh, breast and inside. Don’t let the tip of the thermometer rest against bone.

Remember to keep hot foods hot, at 135 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and cold foods cold, at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below. To help keep foods hot, wrap those dishes in foil, cover them in heavy towels or put them in insulated containers that are designed to keep food hot.

For cold foods, put them in a cooler with ice or freezer packs, or use an insulated container with a cold pack, so they remain at 41 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, especially if you’re traveling for more than half an hour.

If you set up food in a buffet line, take care to put spoons in each dish for selfservice, and assist children

in filling their plates, so that no one needs to use their fingers.

Throw away all perishable foods — such as meat, poultry, eggs and casseroles — left at room temperature for longer than two hours. Refrigerate or freeze other leftovers in shallow, air-tight containers, and label them with the dates when they were prepared. Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Divide large amounts of leftovers into shallow containers for quicker cooling in the refrigerator. Keeping a constant refrigerator temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or below is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of an athome food-borne illness.

Eat cooked turkey and stuffing within three to four days, and gravy in one to two days. Cooked turkey keeps up to four months in the freezer. Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as measured with a food thermometer, and bring gravy and sauces to a boil before serving. Microwaved leftovers shouldn’t have cold spots, where bacteria can survive. Cover food, stir and rotate for even cooking.

Typical symptoms of

food-borne illness include vomiting, diarrhea and cramps, which can start hours to days after contaminated food or drinks are consumed. These symptoms are usually not long-lasting in healthy people, and tend to go away without medical treatment, but food-

borne illness can be severe and even life-threatening to anyone, especially those most at risk, such as infants and young children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with HIV, AIDS, cancer, or any condition or medication that weakens the immune system.

Arlington grapplers down Knights

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Eagles wrestling team came out on top with a 45-30 victory after its throw-down with the Kamiak Knights on Dec. 17.

The Eagles fell behind the Knights in the match but rallied midway through, improving their undefeated record to 3-0.

It was the lighter weight classes that saved the match for Arlington, after the Eagles fell behind on points due to a series of pins from the Knights.

The match started off in the 152-pound weight class with Arlington’s Scotty Bardell taking the mat with Kamiak’s Spencer Mitchell.

Bardell got the decision over Mitchell, giving the Eagles a lead, with the score at 4-0.

The Knights quickly caught up with the Eagles, scoring a pin in the 160pound weight class when Kamiak’s David Bikoev pinned Arlington’s George Spady. The Eagles trailed the Knights.

“We knew Kamiak started getting really tough at 160 pounds,” Arlington Head Coach Rick Iversen said. “They knew we were tough in the lower weights.”

The Eagles suffered another pin, in the 170pound weight class, when Arlington’s Ivan Garcia was pinned by Kamiak’s Tyler Webley. The Eagles were trailing 12-3.

The intensity of the match reached its peak in the 182-pound weight class when Arlington’s Jake Ferro battled Kamiak’s Connor Mitchell.

Ferro scored a takedown in round one, but Mitchell was able to score as well.

The two of them tied in round two, but Ferro won the decision. The Eagles began to catch up, with the score at 12-6 but still behind.

As the Eagles tried to rally, another tough pin set them back. Arlington’s Brice Clariday was pinned

by Kamiak’s Michael Powell.

The Eagles were in trouble when Kamiak got ahead,

with a lead of 24-6, after scoring pins.

“They were a very disciplined team,” Iversen said.

“They wrestled in good position, and they all wanted a pin.”

The Eagles countered the Knights’ lead with six pins of their own.

In the 106-pound weight class, Arlington’s Trey Swanson pinned Kamiak’s Kyle James, allowing the Eagles to catch up with the score at 24-18.

Swanson’s pin was followed up by another pin

by Arlington’s 113-pound Jeremy Nygard, which brought the match to a tie at 24-24.

Kamiak had one more lead, 30-24, when they earned their last pin of the night.

Arlington’s 126-pound Clayton Hunter brought another tie for Arlington when he pinned his opponent.

“I just went out there aggressive and it worked,” Hunter said.

The Eagles led again,

36-30, when they secured another pin with 136-pound Parker Spady taking down and pinning his opponent.

Heading into the final match, it was do or die for the Eagles.

In the 138-pound weight class, Arlington’s Conner Gonzalez took on Kamiak’s Mark Bienick in three competitive rounds. Gonzalez took the lead in round one,

but Bienick caught up in the next rounds, especially in round three. As a result, Gonzalez won a narrow decision and sealed the win for Arlington, with the score ending at 45-30.

Iversen commended the efforts of Kamiak in the close match.

“It just worked out where we got a little edge in the numbers. That’s it,” Iversen

said. “They have a real fine team, and they’re going to win a lot of matches.”

After the close victory, Iversen hoped the Eagles can do what they do best for the remainder of the season.

“I hope we continue to pin people,” Iversen said. “Our team almost has a 50 percent pin average.”

As of Dec. 17 Arlington’s current overall record is 3-0.

Lakewood girls defeat Tigers for first win

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood Cougars girls basketball team ended its losing streak, topping Granite Falls in a 49-11 vic-

tory.

Lakewood’s season was 0-4 prior to hosting the 1-4 Tigers.

With experience on their side, the more developed Cougars had no problem with their inexperienced

opponents. “We came in knowing they were a younger team. We’ve been there,” Lakewood Head Coach Chris Walster said. “We played with a little more confidence and intensity then we have in the past.”

From the tipoff, Lakewood found its shots from outside and waisted no time scoring. Lakewood sophomore Marissa Blair hit an opening three on her first shot, foreshadowing the dominance the Cougars would have throughout the game. Blair was also Lakewood’s highest scoring player that night. She totaled 19 points and led in three pointers, making three.

Walster thought Blair could have scored even more points if she was left in the game longer. “This is probably the most she’s sat out in a game for the last two years,” Walster said.

Blair was also the team’s leading scorer, and made second team all-league last

year as a freshman. “We had a lot of confidence in her,” Walster said. “Sometimes we don’t get the ball in her hands as much as we should.”

The Cougars began their scoring spree in the first quarter. Another high scoring player was 5’11” sophomore post Reille Jones, who powered her way inside the paint, scoring four in the first quarter. “She’s one of the best post-passers we’ve ever had,” Walster said. “She really has a nice touch on the ball.”

Jones was the second highest scorer, totaling 10 points by the end of the game.

Junior forward Hailey Malakowski got her first bucket of the night as well, in the first quarter.

The Cougars proved they were just as effective on defense, only allowing four points from Granite Falls in the first quarter, which ended at 18-4.

In the second quarter,

the Cougars increased in scoring and stepped up on defense, denying any scoring from the Tigers.

Blair sunk another threepointer and Jones stepped up again as another key scorer, scoring four more points for Lakewood.

Scoring was more distributed in the second quarter, with three other Cougars scoring.

By halftime the score was 33-4.

The third quarter began slowly, with no scoring from either team until nearly halfway through the quarter.

The Cougars, comfortable with their lead, only scored 10 points in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, it was sophomore guard Taylor Storm who got three points on the board for Lakewood. “She hasn’t played a great deal in the past,” Walster said. “Her shots weren’t dropping, but she was doing a lot of good

things like getting open for shots.”

The Cougars cooled down, allowing the Tigers

to get their shots off. The Tigers managed to score seven points, but it’s all they scored in the remainder of the game.

Along with Storm’s threepointer, the Cougars continued their scoring, closing the third quarter with a score of 43-11.

Scoring was the lowest for the Cougars in the fourth quarter, in which they only scored six points, with another three-pointer and free-throw from Blair, and two points from freshman guard Natalie Neer.

The Cougars ended the final quarter leading 49-11.

Walster is optimistic that the Cougars will improve for the games to come. “I just hope we can continue to improve,” Walster said. “ I’m always finding ways to improve.”

As of Dec. 18, The Cougars’ current overall

record is 1-4.

Butchart said. “We’re seeing more clients throughout the year in general.”

For that reason, Butchart described herself as “thrilled” to have Operation Christmas Hope partnering with the Arlington Community Food Bank.

“When we filled up the food bank truck on [Dec. 17], we could barely even close the doors,” Butchart said. “It was filled to the brim with toys, bikes, sports equipment, clothing and blankets, all of which will go to kids who might not have had a Christmas otherwise.”

Elizabeth Canfield believes that she and her fiancé, Steven Oxstien, could have provided one small present each to the two children

they’re raising together, but anything beyond that would have been pushing their luck.

“We’re both looking for work,” Canfield said. “We’ve gotten help from our families, but they’re living in diminished circumstances themselves. I wasn’t expecting the toy store to be like this. There’s such a variety of stuff here.”

“I’m just so grateful to be part of a community that wants to give this much,” Davis said.

$1,000, and when we went to purchase our toys there, they gave us one toy free for every 10 that we bought.

[Arlington Walmart manager] Fritz Fittinger is awesome. He told his checkers to be generous with us.”

Davis likewise lauded Union Bank for donating $750 and Bank of America for donating $550, and credited all the financial institutions in Arlington and Smokey Point with reaching out to their customers and fellow area businesses. She noted that community service clubs contributed toys, clothes, gift cards and money to the total haul, while the Arlington Community Food Bank sent its big truck around to all the participating banks and other collection sites on the afternoon of Dec. 17.

“So many people helped carry all this stuff into the Legion building and up the 25 steps to its second floor,” Davis said. “We’ve also had volunteers do everything from shopping to setting up the toy store, and guiding parents through choosing just the right toys and wrapping. We have a truly awesome community that pulls together whenever there’s a need.”

Davis likewise expressed her appreciation to the Chase, Coastal Community, Key, Skagit State and Whidbey Island banks, as well as the Mountain Crest Credit Union, the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, Arlington Chiropractic, Arlington Hardware & Lumber, Arlington Youth Cheer, the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation, Environmental Abate Service and the Legion.

“The Arlington Pizza Factory even did a vendor fair fundraiser for us on Dec. 8,” Davis said. “When we

first heard about this need, we checked with our own staff members to start with, and they were willing to do it. We simply couldn’t have done this without everyone’s help.”

Davis felt a strong emotional connection to this cause because of the community support that her family had received during her teenage years, when her father was diagnosed with cancer, but even as someone who’d received a Christmas basket of food and gifts when she was younger, she was still struck by the degree of need that exists in Arlington.

“It was a surprising eyeopener,” Davis said. “The folks at the food bank deal with this all the time, but for the rest of us volunteers to learn that we have 700 children in need in the small community of Arlington alone was a shock. It shows how much we take for granted.”

Amy Butchart, of the Arlington Community Food Bank, estimated that the toy store’s tables full of goodies would be just enough to cover all the children in the area whose families have received holiday food baskets from the food bank.

“The number of families we’ve served this holiday season has increased by about 100 since this time last year,”

What makes Russell so good? productivity, but on something beyond his control — his height.

Yet where most teams saw 5-foot-10 5/8 as an insurmountable hurdle for an NFL quarterback, the Seahawks saw a player

Despite boasting an impressive college resume, Russell Wilson watched NFL teams pick 74 players ahead of him in the 2012 draft, including a punter. The snub was not based on Wilson’s skills or

with enough going for him to overcome his lack of height. Here’s what has allowed Wilson to transcend his diminutive —

by NFL quarterback standards, at least — stature:

HEAD Wilson’s work ethic is legendary. He will out-work, outstudy and out-prepare just about any opponent, and has the intelligence not just to be prepared for a game, but also to know how to keep himself safe on the run, a key element for a mobile quarterback.

EYES Plenty of quarterbacks can buy time with their legs; few are as adept at keeping their eyes downfield as they move, leading to huge plays when the coverage breaks down.

Vision is also key for shorter quarterbacks who need to be able to find passing lanes through taller linemen.

ARM Often times undersized quarterback means undersized arm, but that’s not the case with Wilson, who has a powertful arm, even by NFL standards.

And, perhaps just as important, that arm is extremely accurate.

Seattle finds success with late-round picks

HEART No matter how physically talented or intelligent Wilson is, he still had to overcome a lifetime of people telling him he was too small, that he should stick with baseball or move to safety or wide receiver. Wilson’s unwavering belief in his ability to be great is a big reason why he’s become one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks.

BY JOHN BOYLE Herald Columnist

HANDS Wilson may be undersized for a quarterback, but he actually had the biggest hands of any quarterback at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine. That’s imperative for ball security, especially for a quarterback who plays in a soggy climate.

LEGS Wilson’s weekly Houdini acts don’t just keep him out of harm’s way, they set up some of the Seahawks’ biggest plays. Wilson could thrive as a pocket passer, but his elusiveness and running ability only make Seattle’s offense that much more difficult to defend. Heading into Sunday’s game against Arizona, he ranks second on the team in rushing yards with 508.

WILSON’S 2013 NUMBERS Height................5-10 5⁄8 Weight .................... 206 Age ............................25 Experience ........2nd year Games........................14 Attempts ................. 357 Completions ............ 231 Passing Yards........ 3,077 Touchdowns ...............24 Interceptions ................8 QB rating.............. 105.0

RENTON — Hit on one late-round draft pick and you might have just been fortunate to see something other teams missed.

Do it over and over and over again, however, and something else is going on; something very unusual in a sport in which teams invest so much time and so many resources into making sure they get their draft picks right.

Yet somehow, despite the value all 32 NFL teams place on scouting, the Seahawks

have repeatedly found lateround steals at cornerback, a position, by the way, that is highly valued in the league, meaning there shouldn’t be many bargains available.

Richard Sherman, that All-Pro cornerback who is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate? He was a fifth-round pick in 2011. Byron Maxwell, who is currently starting on the other side of Seattle’s defense, was taken one round later in that same draft, and Jeremy Lane, who is currently the team’s nickel SEE SEAHAWKS, PAGE 15

Wilson’s arm strength helps him make those impressive throws on the run, but so too does his ability to get his feet in proper position even while evading pressure. Proper footwork within the pocket is essential for any quarterback, but especially for an undersized one who needs to be in the right place to find the right passing lanes.

SEAHAWKS FROM PAGE 14 corner, was a sixth-round pick in 2012.

Maxwell and Lane, who until last month were Seattle’s fourth and fifth options at cornerback, are playing so well that it’s fair to wonder if the Seahawks’ secondary is playing even better since Brandon Browner (undrafted in 2005/signed out of the Canadian Football League in 2011) went down with a groin injury and Walter Thurmond (fourth-round pick) was suspended for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy

December 21, 2013

(Browner has since also been suspended for a substance-abuse violation).

So to sum all that up, the Seahawks assembled the league’s best and deepest group of cornerbacks by using a fourth-, fifth-, and two sixth-round picks and by signing a guy out of Canada. Oh, and they also released three-time Pro Bowl corner Antoine Winfield before the start of the season, as well as Will Blackmon, who has been a playmaker in Jacksonville’s secondary. How is that even possible?

“I would like to think that we have a real good style about us in the way we’re

coaching and what we’ve done,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ve done this for years, and you look back, there’s been a lot of corners that we’ve coached over the years that have done real well, and they’re all getting coached the exactly the same way that they were years ago, so there’s a real formula to it, and fortunately we’ve drafted guys or acquired guys that could take to it. (secondary coach Kris Richard) and (defensive passing game coordinator Rocky Seto) and I, we’ve been working on this for a long time. I’m not surprised by it, I’m just thrilled that we have the kind of depth that we have and the guys, with the challenges they’ve been faced with there, they nailed it. So hopefully we can keep going with it.”

To get the best out of a player, it takes good coaching; to find value in the draft, it takes good scouting and knowledge of what kind of player fits a team’s system. To consistently hit home runs on late-round picks? That takes an incredible combination of both.

Asked if it was more coaching or scouting that has led to Seattle’s considerable cornerback depth, Carroll fittingly answered,

“Yes.” It should hardly come a surprise that Carroll and his coaching staff are getting the most of out their cornerbacks. A safety during his playing days, Carroll made a name for himself early in his coaching career as defensive backs coach in Buffalo and Minnesota. Carroll and his assistants drill proper technique into their defensive backs, and their approach is one they’ve honed since Richard and Seto were assistants under Carroll at USC. “It’s coaching,” said Maxwell, who has three interceptions in the past two games. “Coaching, the technique, getting guys to believe it in, that’s what it comes down to. Coach Richard, he does a great job coaching the technique, and you see it work. It’s not just coaching it, there’s got to be results, and there are results.”

Seattle’s scheme, which frequently has Earl Thomas playing as a single-high safety, is also a big part of the cornerback success, allowing cornerbacks to be aggressive knowing they have one of the game’s best and fastest safeties serving as a security blanket behind them.

Yet as much as coaching and scheme help Seattle’s corners excel, perhaps just

as important is the mental approach that instills confidence in everyone from an All-Pro like Sherman to a newly signed member of the practice squad like Akeem Auguste.

“We need everybody,” said Richard, who played for the Seahawks from 20022005 and began his coaching career under Carroll at USC. “There are no weak links, and that’s something we decide on in our meeting room at the beginning before we start to play football. You know that old saying, ‘You’re only as strong as your weakest link.’ Well how about no weak links? How strong are you then? There’s no such thing as a weak link, you’re just waiting your turn. …

Everybody is as important as the next man, because the next man is the best man.

“When you come in, you’re part of this group, you’re one of us. There are no letdowns. It doesn’t matter who’s out there, there are no letdowns. We’ve got to go out there and execute.”

And the Seahawks have been executing, even when their cornerback depth is tested. The Seahawks lead the league in interceptions and fewest passing yards allowed, a feat only accomplished three times in the

NFL, and two of those teams, the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 1963 Chicago Bears, won titles.

Seattle also has held opposing offenses to 5.8 yards per pass attempt while limiting quarterbacks to a 65.5 passer rating, both of which lead the NFL by a considerable margin. A recent New York Times article, using net yard per attempt adjusted to the league average to account for the NFL’s increase in passing production, put the Seahawks as the fourth-best pass defense since 1970.

And again, that’s with a secondary full of late-round picks.

It seems shocking to anyone on the outside that the Seahawks could continue to thrive despite the losses of Browner and Thurmond, but nobody inside the locker room is surprised.

Ask Thomas how losing two key players has changed the defense, and he’ll simply tell you, “It hasn’t.”

“I’ve been saying it,” Thomas said. “I told you it was going to happen, because that’s just who we are, that’s the way we do it every day, that’s the way we practice, that’s the way we prepare, we have great coaching that stays on us.”

The Bio-Med Academy is one

of 23 high schools in the state to receive this award.

“We are very, very proud of the Bio-Med Academy staff and students,” Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg said. “To be one school out of 23 in the state is monumental, and the award a fitting tribute for their hard work to increase student achievement.”

“These schools are from all regions of the state, and all sizes of towns,” CEE President Greg Lobdell said. “With enrollment of English Language Learners as high as 49 percent, these schools demonstrate that significant improvement is occurring all across our diverse public schools.”

The School of Distinction awards were created in 2007 to

Arlington’s 4-H Dog Club seeking new members ARLINGTON — Members of the Bark-n-Time 4-H Dog Club of Arlington acknowledged that their first holiday gift-wrapping fundraiser on Dec. 14 met with less success than they would have liked, but they remained optimistic that they’d helped to raise awareness about their club’s activities.

“The kids had a great time and their spirits were high,” said Lisa Cisneros, one of the adult volunteers of the group. “There were only two customers, but they gave us 10 gifts to wrap. Of the 13 kids who participated, four of them stayed all day, just to try and get more people in the door. They handed out flyers, waved, walked into the stores up and down Olympic Avenue, and even enjoyed riding the horse-drawn wagon, twice.”

Cisneros noted that three of the parents likewise

the kids are expected to know their dogs well, down to their breeds, the names of their body parts and which groups they belong in, according to American Kennel Club standards. The dogs themselves are judged based on their stance, grooming, presentation and obedience, the latter of which requires the dogs to maintain a variety of poses for one or more minutes each, as well as to follow the commands of their young masters.

“Our kids are dedicated to their dogs, and are extremely

passionate about 4-H and all that it entails,” said Cisneros, who added that the kids also participate in Arlington’s Fourth of July and Santa parades each year. “Arlington is unique, because the next closest 4-H dog clubs are in Monroe and Lynnwood. The one that was available for the kids on Camano Island and Stanwood is no longer a group, and there’s nothing in Marysville or Everett, so we really have the potential to help a lot of kids in the surrounding area.”

remained at the Co-op Supply all day to sell candies, including the club’s leader, Charlotte Knutson.

Although the Barkn-Time 4-H Dog Club of Arlington already charges a fee of $20 per child, per year, Cisneros explained that the proceeds from such sales help the club pay for the kids’ county dues and fair fees, as well as insurance if it’s required by the facilities that the club is renting from, plus barn rentals that run $25 per week.

In exchange, the kids spend all year practicing obedience and showmanship with their dogs, so that they’ll be ready to be judged for real at the local Silvana and Stanwood/ Camano fairs, as well as the county fair in Monroe.

“We’ve even had a few kids go on to the state fair in Puyallup,” Cisneros said. “It isn’t just handed to them.

They have to work very hard to earn their spots.”

Robert W. Glein July 17, 1925 — December 14, 2013

Robert W. Glein, long time family doctor and resident of M a r ysv i l l e, Washington, passed away at age 88 at home on December 14, 2013 after suffering three major health events this year. Bob was born to Henry and Elsie Glein on July 17, 1925 in Pomona, California, joining older sister, Esther.

The family was complete soon thereafter when sister, Josephine, and brother, Richard were born.

After r elo c a t i ng numerous times and attending a different school each year, Bob attended Anacortes High School in 1942 and met his life-long friend Cam. They were best friends until Cam’s death in 2000, owning property together and enjoying many years of family vacations and poker parties. Bob was commissioned a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps in 1945 as a navigator and was stateside for the 2 ½ years he was in the service.

In 1946, Bob met the love of his life, Pat, at the University of Washington, and they were married in 1948. The following year Bob graduated from the UW in chemistry and the two headed to Saint Louis University where Bob graduated from medical school in 1953. Those four years were a struggle and left an indelible mark on them, one they often reminisced about. After internship and a surgery residency in the Bay Area where their first child, Randy, was born, Bob and Pat settled in Marysville, Washington, and Bob practiced medicine for almost 40 years. Four years

later with three more children (Sharon, Judy and Keith), Bob made his final move in 1959 to the hom e a nd property he and Pat so loved, where they lived until his death. Shortly after this move their last child, Susie, was born.

The things Bob loved most in life were his family and friends, his medical practice, “the island” he owned with Cam, his vast rhododendron collection of over a 1,000 species, and skiing. In retirement he and Pat travelled in their truck and camper throughout Alaska, Canada, the continental US and Mexico, cruised to Alaska in a boat caravan, and had many international travel adventures in Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Bob is dearly loved and will be forever missed by his family and friends. In addition to his five children and their spouses, he is survived by 8 grandchildren, Chris, Natasha, Shelby, Michael, Sara, Wendy, Jay and Annie, and greatgranddaughter, Sabrina.

A celebration of his life was held at the Marysville United Methodist Church, on Friday, December 20 at 3:00 p.m. Remembrances can be made to Saint Louis University, DuBourg Hall Room 319, 1 North Grand Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63103, attention Medical School Annual Fund #10438.

A special thanks to Doctor Phil Smith, nurses and doctors at Providence Medical Center Colby who provided loving and high quality care to Bob this year – you’re top notch.

Arlington firefighters’ ‘Santa Run’ sets collection records again

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — After 10 nights, the Arlington Fire Department’s annual “Santa Run” for 2013 wrapped up on the evening of Sunday, Dec. 15, with another year of record-breaking totals.

Even before their festively decorated fire truck set out to cover the last remain-

ing neighborhoods on the map for this year’s food and financial collection drive for the Arlington Community Food Bank, Arlington Fire Capt. Phil Knepper estimated that the nightly hauls were between 30-40 percent larger than they’d been the year before, when the “Santa Run” set its previous records of more than 6,000 pounds of food and $500 in cash dona-

tions in the winter of 2012.

“The cash donations this year have been through the roof,” Knepper said, before the “Santa Run” fire truck left the station garage that Sunday evening. “One individual presented us with a check for $1,000, which was pretty awesome. Cascade Valley Hospital has been setting sandwich boards out in each of the neighbor-

hoods, to pre-notify them when we’ll be showing up, and we’ve done very well as a result. We used to show up, and if people had any canned food items in their pantries that they could spare, they handed them to us, but now, they’re planning for our arrivals. We’ve literally had to stuff the collection truck to make all the food fit, and we’ve gotten cash dona-

tions ranging from dimes and quarters to hundreds of dollars. This community has been very generous.”

Fellow Arlington Fire Capt. Dave Kraski was able to quantify that generosity after the final totals were added up on Monday, Dec. 16, and he realized that he had 8,107 pounds of food and $2,340.75 in monetary donations to present to the

Arlington Community Food Bank this year.

“Remarkably, the weather cooperated nicely,” Kraski said. “Although it was really cold on a few nights, it remained dry for most of the event. We’ll take cold over wet anytime.”

In return, the Arlington Fire Department presented candy canes to kids and adults alike, all along their “Santa Run” routes, whether those residents were donating or not, and as a result, what started as a supply of 10,000 candy canes had already dwindled down to nearly nothing by the time that final night rolled around.

“Most everyone we met donated, though,” Knepper said. “We always do well in the High Clover Park and Magnolia Meadows neighborhoods. It got to the point this year where there were some nights when we could not possibly put more food in our collection truck.”

Knepper was equally effusive in his praise for the volunteers who accompanied the Arlington firefighters and Santa Claus every night on their routes, starting on Friday, Dec. 6, from members of the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, to the employees of Cascade Valley Hospital and the city of Arlington. Debora Nelson was among the Arlington City Council members who received bags full of food from neighborhood residents and loaded them in the back of the “Santa Run” collection truck this year.

The Arlington Fire Department had planned one last night of collections for the Arlington Community Food Bank, at Arlington High School on Friday, Dec. 20, as AHS’s varsity boys took on the Lake Stevens Vikings, but the results of that donation drive were unavailable as of press time.

Patricia passed away December 7, 2013 in Spokane, WA. Services were held December 18th with interment to be held at a later date.

ARLINGTON — Before its winter extravaganza kicks off near the end of the month, the Arlington Library is inviting kids to take part in some hands-on science experiments and holiday activities on Dec. 21 and 23, starting with the Pacific Science Center’s “Volts and

Jolts” exhibit at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 21.

“We’ve had some Pacific Science Center programs in the past, and every winter, the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation gives us a grant for special programs,” said Jocelyn Redel, managing librarian of the Arlington Library. “The ‘Volts and Jolts’ exhibit sounded like something that would be fun,

interesting and fit well with our focus on STEM education.”

Not only is Redel excited to see the Van de Graaff generator and Tesla coil that the Pacific Science Center will bring as part of its “science on wheels” program, which takes exhibits out to communities for those who might not be able to make the trip to the Pacific Science Center itself, but she’s also hopeful that this presentation will foster more interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in ways that traditional classroom lessons tend to be limited from exploring.

“I haven’t seen the ‘Volts and Jolts’ exhibit yet myself, so I’ll be just as surprised as everyone else,” said Redel, who estimated that the Arlington Library could fit between 60-70 attendees in its exhibit area, but would be more comfortable with 40-50. “We’re trying to bring greater exposure to STEM subjects through programs like this and our ‘Forensic Detective Academy’ this past spring, and then, once those kids are in the door, we can introduce them to all the library’s resources for further research, from our databases to our online tutoring. It promises to be a hair-raising experience,” she laughed, noting how the electricity from Van de Graaff generators makes people’s hair stand up.

On Monday, Dec. 23, at 1 p.m., the Arlington Library will present a slightly less thrilling activity, but one that participants will be able to sink their teeth into, literally.

“This is about the fourth or fifth year that we’ve hosted gingerbread housemaking for the kids after the start of their winter break,” Redel said. “We provide all the supplies, and it’s not a contest, so you can build your gingerbread house for whatever you wish, whether it’s to eat or to display.”

Redel recalled that last year’s session of gingerbread house-making drew 60 participants, ranging in age from preschool up through adults.

“A lot of times, the adults will watch from the sidelines, and then ask if they can use the supplies that are left over,” Redel said. “Over the years, we’ve learned what kinds of frosting work best to put together a gingerbread house, as well as which candies are most popular to decorate them.”
