City reviews finances, grants for 2013, 2014 BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington looked back on 2013 and ahead to the rest of 2014 during the City

Council workshop meeting on Monday, Feb. 24, as city staff reviewed financial reports and grants for the year ahead and the year behind. City of Arlington Finance

Snohomish County is contributing $50,000 toward the restroom facility at Haller Park.

Director Jim Chase delivered the financial reports for December of 2013 and January of 2014, noting that the sales tax dollars received in those months were greater than those of the same months in the previous years. “Sales tax dollars received in December, from October sales, were $264,547,” Chase said. “The total amount for 2013 is $192,000 greater than the amount received in 2012, or a 6.2 percent increase. Sales tax dollars received in January, for November sales, were $18,000 more than

the amount received for the same month in 2013.” Property taxes, the third largest form of tax, in 2013 were also ahead of the city’s 2012 collections by 2.2 percent, of which Chase attributed 1 percent to the increase allowed by Initiative 747, with the additional 1.2 percent coming from collections from prior years’ amounts owed, and from new construction tax dollars. “January is historically a slow month for property tax collections,” Chase said. “First-half property taxes are

due on April 30, and secondhalf taxes are due on Oct. 30.” While building permit revenues were budgeted at $300,000 for 2013, they totaled just $193,069 for the year. By contrast, emergency medical services’ transport fees generated revenues of $975,619 in 2013, well ahead the year’s budget of $950,000. “We began 2013 with a beginning fund balance of $377,749 in the general fund,” Chase said. “We ended 2013 with a total of SEE CITY, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — When Grace Meno suffered a concussion playing volleyball on Sept. 11, 2012, the Arlington High School freshman had to take a year off to recuperate. While she’s still coping with the side effects of the injury, Meno not only returned to school full-time in September in 2013, but she’s since taken up the cause of promoting concussion awareness. After Grace tripped while running, and landed on her head and her hip, she was sent first to Cascade Valley Hospital, then to Seattle Children’s Hospital for three days. “I didn’t connect what had happened to a traumatic brain injury at first,” said Kimberly Meno, Grace’s mom. Grace nonetheless returned to the Harborview Medical Center ER in Seattle the following night because of a seizure. “I had to relearn how to read, write, talk, eat and take a shower, all things I took for granted,” Grace Meno said. “I had speech therapy three times a week for four months. I walked with a cane until I was able to use Abby, my medical alert service dog, and physical therapy to get my balance back.” While Grace and Kimberly Meno were effusive in their praise for the Arlington School District, especially in its accommodations

that, on some fronts, could last a lifetime. “I used to be really outgoing, but now I have anxiety disorders,” said Grace Meno, who continues to suffer headaches 24/7, and sei-

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!

Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”

zures as often as two to three times a month. “My friends all wanted to help, but they didn’t know how to react. And now, 18 months later, I’m mostly back to normal physically, but I’m nowhere near normal cognitively, mentally or emotionally.” Six weeks after her concussion, Grace Meno was able to attend one of her classes. By the semester break, she was capable of attending three classes. After resuming a full class schedule at the start of this school year, she got the idea to start selling concussion awareness wristbands.

“I didn’t think anybody would be interested in them,” Kimberly Meno said. Four months later, Kimberly is more than happy to be proven wrong, as Grace has used word-ofmouth and social media to sell more than 300 “Heads Up!” concussion awareness wristbands, in more than 10 states, raising approximately $1,200 for the Brain Injury Association of America in the process. “My goal is to raise a total of $2,000 for research on concussions and brain injuries,” said Grace Meno, who

added that 100 percent of the proceeds from the wristband sales goes directly to the Brain Injury Association of America. “At the end of the day, my main goal is to bring awareness to our communities about the seriousness of brain injuries.” Grace has seen numerous doctors in addition to her primary care physician, including the staff of Cascade Valley Hospital, where she received an MRI. “Girls’ volleyball and soccer result in the most concussions of any sport,” said Jennifer Egger, community relations coordinator for Cascade Valley Hospital. “They don’t wear helmets, and they’re more aggressive than girls’ sports used to be. The state of protective gear in those sports needs to change.” In the meantime, Egger recommended that coaches use concussion pre-screenings, to help detect evidence of traumatic brain injuries on the field. “If the athletes’ answers don’t match what they gave before the game, that can be a sign,” Egger said. “Kids will want to continue playing, but coaches and parents shouldn’t be afraid to pull them out if they give even the smallest signs of being concussed, especially since one concussion can lead more frequently to other injuries, including a second concussion.”

AHS Athletic Director Tom Roys reported that all of the school district’s athletes are now subject to such pre-screenings. “It’s a 40-minute computer test that evaluates their regular cognitive ability, when they’re not concussed, and then compares that to their answers when there’s a suspicion of concussion,” Roys said. “It’s one of the tools we use to evaluate whether an athlete should return to play.” According to Roys, this pre-screening procedure was implemented just within the last school year. “Grace’s situation made it real for us,” Roys said. Those who wish to support Grace Meno’s “Heads Up!” concussion awareness can log onto her fundraising website at www.youcaring.com/other/head-sup-/144032 and email her at gracemeno11@hotmail.com. “After you’ve donated, please email me your address, and I will put a concussion awareness wristband in the mail to you ASAP,” Grace Meno said. “The suggested donation is $1 each, but you can feel free to give more. I’ve had donations of as much as $200.” Donors should also specify the number of wristbands they wish to receive. All donations are tax deductible, and the Brain Injury Association of America’s tax ID number is 04-2716222.

eral fund balance.” The city received $147,507 in grant funds during the five months between August and December of 2013. The three largest grants were $120,000 from the Department of Ecology for stormwater retrofit improvements on Smokey Point Boulevard, from the Portage Creek Bridge to State Route 530; $11,867 from the Department of Justice to the police department for RadioIP software, that’s used in patrol cars to access the city’s network and SNOPAC data; and $11,540 from the hotel/motel grant program to the city’s outdoor summer park events and the annual Eagle Festival. The city has yet to hear whether it will receive an additional $750,000 for Phase 2 construction of the Prairie Creek Drainage Improvement Project from the DoE’s Floodplain Management Program, or $77,000 for an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from FEMA. Outside of that five-month window, while the state denied the city’s application for funding of Haller Park’s restrooms and other amenities, Snohomish County has kicked in $50,000 for the restroom facility.

LWSD bond short LHS stages ‘Alice in Wonderland’ of supermajority BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School District is tantalizingly close to meeting the required supermajority to pass its building bond, but unless the next set of election results shows the approval side gaining at least 32 votes, it won’t be close enough. “To be that close and not make it would certainly be beyond disappointing, that’s for sure,” said Fred Owyen, whom the Lakewood School District has contracted as its capital project manager. “The supermajority is a tall hurdle, though.” As of 3:29 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 24, the Lakewood School District’s Proposition 1, for the bond to renovate Lakewood High School, has received 1,732 “Approved” votes, or 58.93 percent of the vote, and 1,207 “Rejected” votes, or 41.07 percent of the vote. Owyen explained that, if the bond does not pass, the Lakewood School District Board of Directors will likely decide its next course of action during its meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 5, in Room 209 at English Crossing Elementary. “They may consider put-

ting the same bond on the April 22 special election ballot unchanged, if the margin is close enough, because the need for a new high school will not have changed,” Owyen said. “They’re also reviewing the tax rate assumptions, looking at the most recent assessed values, so they can offer a revised cost-per-thousand estimate if this goes back on the ballot for April, because that financial picture will have changed over time.” Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this election, Owyen thanked all those voters — significantly more than a majority, even if they might have fallen short of a supermajority — who supported the Lakewood School District’s bond to renovate Lakewood High School. “We’ve been very fortunate in the amount of approval votes that we have received,” Owyen said. “It’s just so maddening to be so close. We definitely know we still need to improve the high school, so the next step on our quest will depend on the results of this election, and on what direction the Lakewood School Board chooses to take if it’s not approved this time.”

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood High School’s spring play is set to be its most ambitious production yet, as its small stage accommodates more than 30 characters, and more than 20 set changes, to present “Alice in Wonderland” at 7 p.m. on the Fridays and Saturdays of March 7, 8, 14 and 15, with an additional 3 p.m. matinee showing on Saturday, March 8. LHS freshman Christine Lew was credited by cast members with making everything fit in her role as stage manager, while LHS drama teacher Rebecca White noted that both the stage crew and the cast are more populated than they’ve ever been during her tenure of directing school plays. “I didn’t have a lot of experience, but I made the best of what we had,” Lew said. “With the scene changes, I wanted the mood of each scene to be different.” “We have a lot of new students this time around, but they’re good kids, reliable and pleasant,” White said. “I can’t take credit for this, because it’s a team effort.” LHS senior Michaela Boyd has been spending more time around younger children, to

more. “Besides, everyone loves ‘Alice in Wonderland.’” Boyd and Lew agreed that the cast and crew’s hard work will be evident throughout, while Miller said, “It’s like nothing you’ve seen before.” Admission is $5 for seniors, children younger than 10 or those with ASB, and $7 for everyone else.

All I’d heard about Costa Rica was right L ittle Costa Rica has been judged to be the world’s happiest place, based on average levels of health, satisfaction with life and devotion to preservation and sustainable development. The most foreign thing about Costa Rica is that the bottom-line doesn’t dictate values as it does here. When major decisions are to be made, they’re decided on the basis of whether they’re good for people and the environment. After a life of travel to out-of-the-way places, my wife and I finally decided to abandon doit-yourself travel planning use a travel service. We decided only where to go and how long to stay and let the pros at Pacific Tradewinds handle bookings and make sure of connections in between. After so many years of dealing with unforeseen travel glitches, Costa Rica was to be the least stressful of our adventures — except for the air travel. Airlines keep inventing snarky schemes for squeezing more dollars from travelers. Their latest trick keeps budget travelers from reserving seats other than First-Class or Economy Plus. First-Class is out of our price range and Economy Plus costs $19 for four extra inches of leg room. The remaining 80 percent of the seats can’t be reserved until the day of the flight — and the airline adds that the flight will be overbooked which panics travelers who can’t deal with uncertainty into buying expensive seats. With layovers in Portland and Houston, the trip took 14 hours, three hours for passengers boarding in Houston who were surprised to learn that they’d paid $12 more per ticket than we did. Another consolation was that travelers over the age of 75 no longer have to remove

shoes during security screening. All credit for a happy time goes to Costa BOB GRAEF Rica. With a population no larger than Houston-Dallas, it lies sandwiched between Nicaragua and Panama. Depending on the season, Costa Rica is washed by breezes from the Pacific or Atlantic. Mountain ranges catch precipitation that makes everything including fence-posts grow. Yes, fence posts. Farmers simply stick rows of cuttings into the ground and, after a short wait, tie-off barbed wire to the leafed-out sticks. The fences are symbolic of the nation’s attitude toward nature. Costa Rica is bursting with wildlife, housing 20 percent of the wildlife species of the world. While Costa Rica compares with Switzerland in area, it took a radically different route toward development, honoring nature over development. With a per capita income only a fraction of the Swiss, Costa Rica has achieved goals that no other nation comes close to matching: It planted enough trees to increase forested areas by 20 percent, allowing the return of wildlife that had disappeared decades ago. A quarter of the country is set aside as national parks and refuges. By 2021, Costa Rica will be the planet’s only carbon-neutral country. It has the largest green sea turtle preserve on the Caribbean coast and the world’s largest Ridley sea turtle preserve on the Pacific. Costa Rica is one of the most stable countries in the Western Hemisphere, drawing tourists from around the world.

OPINION

Costa Rica can supply social services because it supports no armed forces. These priorities helped to earn Costa Rica’s a rating as the world’s most happy nation. After spending two pre-Christmas weeks there we tend to agree. Smiles and greetings were open and relaxed, putting us at ease for our entire stay. Personal economics are clearly different. One resort hotel manager said he makes about $1,200 per month while his wife brings in another $1,000 per month. He said they lived quite well compared to average earners who take home 68.4 percent of his executive pay. Everyone’s medical is covered. Unemployment of 15 percent to 20 percent still plagues the economy and a federal safetynet that supports the unemployed imposes a troublesome drain on the national budget. Part of the problem stems from a constant flood of Nicaraguans crossing into the nation to illegally harvest trees or clear-cut patches for farming. And there was the recent flap when Nicaraguan engineers used a faulty Google map to guide dredging in the border’s San Juan River. These are small down-sides for what is otherwise paradise. American ex-patriots are buying in. A modest home (think clotheslines, not driers) runs about $500 per month. Expect to pay a total of $1,500 a month for living costs without a car. Double that for top-tier luxury living. A big draw is that Costa Rica offers a safer environment than any other Latin American nation. Another is the unfailing friendliness of Ticos — a nickname nationals have adopted. Visitors learn to give and get smiles along with the normal greeting of, “Pura vida,” or pure life. Costa Ricans (Ticos) mean it. They live Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@ comcast.net.

Pilchuck Rentals helps Arlington landscaper recover from theft BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — When Arlington landscaper Joel Martinez woke up to find his livelihood stolen, Pilchuck Rentals of Marysville stepped in to help out a fellow local business and a loyal customer. Martinez, who ran First

Choice Landscaping out of his trailer, finished work at 1 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, and woke up at 6:30 a.m. to find his equipment trailer had been stolen from his driveway. “All my equipment was in that trailer,” Martinez said. “I’d locked it up, and secured it with lights and dogs. My father-in-law had

lent me that trailer, so insurance probably won’t even cover that. That’s what he gets, for giving me so much.” The trailer full of residential and commercial landscaping equipment represented Martinez’s life savings, an investment of roughly $10,000 over the course of the past eight years. Worse yet, his next

scheduled job was on Monday, Feb. 24. Martinez found that he was far from alone during his time of need, though. Not only did the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce use its social media channels to send out word of the theft that he’d suffered — along with a listing of some of the items that he’d lost, that Chamber members were advised to keep an eye out for — but Martinez also received a loan of a Honda commercial lawnmower and a Stihl backpack leaf-blower from Lance Brown, of Pilchuck Rentals and Sound Power Equipment Sales. “Lance used to be my landlord, and I’ve always bought my equipment from him,” Martinez said. “He told me not to worry about the cost, and to come pay him when I had the money. It’s nice to know that there are still some good people

feet and get his work done,” said Brown, who noted that local landscapers’ season has started early this year. “Joel has been a loyal customer since day one, and he’s a community asset, so by making sure he’s covered, what goes around can come around. It’s all about community spirit and helping people stay employed.” “I don’t know what I would have done without Lance’s help,” Martinez said. “When things like this happen, you can either quit or keep going, and I’ve got too much invested to stop now.”

Arlington Veterinary Hospital opens

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Dr. Krystal Grant was inspired to open the Arlington Veterinary Hospital on Saturday, Feb. 22, by her lifelong love of animals, from growing up with horses to learning how much she appreciates all shapes and sizes of mammals through her nine years of veterinary practice. Grant’s offices, in Suite B at 7728 204th St. NE in Arlington, offer both a relaxing atmosphere, for animals and their owners alike, and state-of-the-art technology. She credited Trevor Gaskin, of Coast Construction in Arlington, with giving the front lobby and back workspaces a country feel and an organic flow. “Animals don’t like to feel trapped,” Grant said. “There are lots of windows to let in natural light.” In addition to two standard examination rooms, with fold-up tables to provide enough space for Grant to look at larger animals, the Arlington Veterinary Hospital offers a grieving room, for people to say goodbye to animals that need to be euthanized, complete with its own exit, so that they don’t have to return to the front lobby to leave. The Arlington Veterinary Hospital offers both a pharmacy and a laboratory on site, so that the animals’ owners don’t have to wait to have their animals’ medications filled or their blood work

done, although Grant does still send out for blood tests, since she can receive the results within half an hour. “Our front lobby has a different ventilation system from our back workspaces, so that certain smells don’t circulate,” Grant said. “We also have an isolation room, to prevent the spread of contagious diseases among the animals. The main ward has lots of visibility, with big windows, so that we can see the animals are safe, while dampening their noise.” Since Grant hopes to bring two other associates on board eventually, the treatment area is designed to be big enough for three doctors to work there at the same time. “Our ‘wet’ table is where we handle dental work and cleaning,” said Grant, who touted her high-speed drill and digital dental X-ray machines. “Our main surgery room has two anesthesia machines, plus an oxygen concentrator that eliminates the need for stored oxygen. And I have an old autoclave, because that works better to sterilize instruments.” Grant’s removable-plate digital X-ray unit even allows her to take X-rays on house calls to family farms. “We’re here to provide the highest quality of care,” Grant said. For more information, call the Arlington Veterinary Hospital at 360572-0345.

Bridal Dress Swap meet kicks off BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Shopper Kari O’Sullivan models one of the gowns at the Bridal Dress Swap Meet on Feb. 22.

SILVANA — The inaugural Bridal Dress Swap Meet at the Peace Lutheran Church in Silvana on Saturday, Feb. 22, had already drawn 20 shoppers to peruse its aisles of 150 dresses by noon, in spite of the day’s dark skies and rain mixed with snow. Jeanne Watanabe, owner of the Silver Hanger consignment store in Arlington, acknowledged that the touch of winter weather did deter turnout slightly, but she still considered the event a sales success for its first time, enough that she plans to return to the Peace Lutheran Church for another Bridal Dress Swap Meet on April 26. “We knew going into this that this first event would be the launching pad for the rest to follow,” Watanabe said. “There’s always some kinks when you start a new event, but this actually went very smoothly, all things considered.” Watanabe was effusive in her praise for Terry Marsh and Arlington Hardware’s Taylor Jones, who managed to assemble the racks for the dresses within five days prior to the event. “We’ve got a great team and a lot of great dresses left over, so this will be a great momentum-builder for April,” Watanabe said. In the meantime, Watanabe is invit-

ing the community to the fourth Prom Dress Exchange and Fashion Show on Saturday, March 22, at 1050 State Ave. in Marysville. The Fashion Show starts at 11 a.m., while the Prom Dress Exchange follows from noon to 2 p.m. While a $10 donation is requested, if a girl is successful in finding a dress, there is no admission fee for the event, and shoppers don’t need to prove they’re from any particular school or city to check out the event’s selection. “We have models from Marysville, Arlington, Lakewood, Lake Stevens and Stanwood, who are basically acting as ambassadors for this event,” Watanabe said. “We’ll have everything from prom dresses to eighth-grade graduation dresses, and even tuxedos and ties for the boys.” Pazzaz Hair Design of Arlington contributed their services to a photo shoot on Thursday, Feb. 27, to help promote the Prom Dress Exchange and Fashion Show. If you wish to donate dresses to this event, you can drop them off, in bags and in good condition, at either Trusty Threads, at 1515 Third St. in Marysville, or at the Silver Hangar, at 437 N. Olympic Ave. Arlington. For more information on the Prom Dress Exchange and Fashion Show, visit its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PromExchange.

Hoops teams move on to Regionals Jackson tops Eagles 63-43 to claim District title

Lady Eagles fall in District Championship

BY BRANDON ADAM

ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys basketball team lost the Wesco 4A District Championship game to Jackson, 63-43, on Feb.. 21. “It was a tough one,” Arlington head coach Nick Brown said. The Eagles struggled with the No. 1 team of the 4A South in all four quarters. Jackson had a slight edge in size and strength compared to the Eagles. “They’re more athletic and strong,” Brown said. “That forced us into things we didn’t want to do.” In addition to the size difference, Arlington just didn’t execute on offense. The big physical presence from Jackson sty-

ARLINGTON — From the start, Arlington felt the pressure from the No. 1 4A Wesco South team. The Eagles failed to keep up with the consistent scoring and defensive pressure from Lynnwood, and lost the 4A District Championship game on Feb. 21. “Lynnwood’s one of the best teams in the state, there is no doubt about that,” Arlington head coach Joe Marsh said. “They came out and started the game great.” Arlington didn’t do so well in its first run-in with Lynnwood earlier in the season. On Jan. 17, Arlington was handed its second conference defeat at home by Lynnwood, losing

Arlington grapplers place at Mat Classic BY BRANDON ADAM badam@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington had some success in this year’s 4A Mat Classic State Tournament at the Tacoma Dome, on Feb. 21-22. The Eagles had two wrestlers who placed, out of six wrestlers they sent to the Dome on Friday, Feb. 21. “We brought five good seniors and a sophomore,” Arlington head coach Rick Iversen said. “The State Tournament is a narrowing process.” One of those wrestlers who placed was sophomore Jeremy Nygard, in the 106-pound weight class, who took third in State. “He dominated,” Iversen said. From the start of the tournament, Iversen had high expectations for Nygard. Iversen predicted Nygard would take third. The tournament didn’t start out so well for Nygard since he lost his first match by only one point. “It was his first defeat all year,” Iversen said.

“Jeremy may take State for us two more times, but not this year.” The game plan for Nygard was to keep the wrestler on his feet in the first match. “We knew we were better on our feet, but the kid got away,” Iversen said. “We almost had him several times, but we ran out of time.” It was a rough start for Nygard, but he rallied to dominate his other two matches to finish in third. “Third isn’t so bad, out of all the kids in state,” Iversen said. At the end of season, Nygard was 4-1 in State and 33-1 in the year, Iversen said. Iversen said he was grateful to have the sophomore for two more years. Senior Bryce Thomas placed eighth in State in the 138-pound weight class. He entered the semi-finals but didn’t progress. “He came in losing his first match, and lost two more,” Iversen said. Iversen said he would miss the senior as he goes on to wrestle for the Colorado

School of Mines in Golden, Colo. “He is a wonderful kid and excels in everything he does,” Iversen said. “We won’t see another Bryce Thomas.” The four other wrestlers who made it to State lost out on the first day before the semi-finals. Senior captain Connor Gonzalez, in the 138-pound weight class, won his pigtail match to get into state but could not advance past the first day. Another senior captain was Scotty Bardell who lost out as well. “I will miss them a lot for their leadership,” Iversen said. Heavyweight junior Tyler was another wrestler who made it to State but could not progress past the first day. Iversen said Lindberg won the “most improved player award.” “His grades have improved along with his selfimage,” Iversen said. Iversen said Lindberg had a very strong season as a first-year varsity wrestler, and looks forward to having him next year.

Though the Eagles lost the final game in Districts, Marsh was not too worried about the outcome. “We’re in a good spot,” Marsh said. “The same thing happened to us last year. We’re going to put in work and get back to State.” In the first quarter, Lynnwood put up the first points on the scoreboard. The Eagles’ offense was stifled by Lynnwood’s defense, but Arlington’s defense made plays as well. But it was executing on offense that gave the Eagles trouble. Arlington was missing 3-pointers and failing to connect on the inside. “We need to make our free throws,” Marsh said. “It’s really the difference in the game. This time of year, you’ve got to knock those down.” The first quarter ended with back and forth turnovers from both teams, but ultimately, the Eagles were unable to score more than three points. Lynnwood led the Eagles 10-3 at the end of the first quarter. The Eagles managed to get a run in the second quarter. After a goal made by Lynnwood in the opening of the quarter, Arlington sophomore guard Serafina Balderas began the rally with a goal. After some scoring from both teams, and a missed set of free throws from Arlington, sophomore guard Sevi Biesler sank a 3-pointer which had the Eagles only trailing Lynnwood, 14-10. “We weathered the storm and came back,” Marsh said. “We stayed in the game.” As the two teams battled, the Eagles’ scrappy defense showed up again, with a swat by sophomore guard

Emma Janousek, but the ball was knocked out of bounds. “Defensively, we had some stretches that caused some turnovers, but that’s a really good team and you have to put the ball in the basket,” Marsh said. Arlington had a chance, it seemed, but Lynnwood restrained the Eagles’ potential comeback as the team extended its lead slightly toward the end of the second quarter. Lynnwood was ahead 20-14 at halftime. It was any team’s game, with only a six-point difference as Arlington and Lynnwood faced off in the third quarter. But it wasn’t to be. Lynnwood crushed any hope of an Arlington comeback by unloading 18 points to the Eagles’ 13 points in the third quarter. The third quarter ended 38-27 with Lynnwood in the lead. It didn’t get much better for the Eagles in the

final quarter. Lynnwood sustained its significant lead over Arlington as they scored 10 more points and kept the Eagles at eight

It did get slightly better for Arlington in the second half. In the third quarter, Arlington matched the scoring of Jackson with both teams scoring 14 points. “We did play good defense,” Brown said. This brought the score to 46-32 at the end of the third quarter, with Arlington still left in the dust. The third quarter effort by Arlington had little effect on the game, as Jackson was still more than 10 points ahead. Arlington’s point deficit did not improve in the final points. The Eagles play their first 4A Regional game against Todd Beamer on March 1 at Puyallup High School.

quarter. Jackson mirrored its first quarter in scoring, putting up 17 points over Arlington’s 11. In the end, Jackson beat Arlington 63-43. Arlington played another tough game on Feb. 28 against Kentridge at KentMeridian High School, in the first round of the Regional playoffs. The score was not available as of press time. Brown thinks he has the recipe for a victory over

more points, but Jackson added three points. Jackson led Arlington, 17-10, at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was also a rough one for the Eagles. Arlington was met again with the tough physical defense of Jackson. Arlington scored even less in the second quarter. Jackson got off another run, which had them jump to a 14-point lead over Arlington. It was 32-18 at halftime, with Jackson still in the lead.

ARLINGTON — Not only is Alice Spane turning 100 years old on March 9, but she can also say that she’s lived almost her entire life in North Snohomish County, from the time she grew up in the Stanwood/ Bryant area. “Her folks were homesteaders from Norway,” said Karen Abbott, Alice’s daughter. “She met Dad at one of the weekend dances at the grange, but they had a long courtship, about four or five years, because he wanted to save up enough money to care for her.” When asked what initially drew her to Walter Spane, back when she was still Alice Nordby, Alice said, “He had this wonderful white scarf, and I thought, he’s the one for me,” she laughed. Walter and Alice settled

down on a 100-plus-acre dairy farm in Snohomish, and Alice recalled that the cows sold for good prices during World War II. While Walter continued his family’s tradition of farming, Alice not only kept cooking, as she’d done for other farmers when she was still single, but also kept Walter’s books, doing the income for the farm “She was also a social butterfly,” Karen Abbott said. “She loved playing hostess for parties.” “I loved to dance anytime,” said Alice Spane, who also kept physically active through her bowling league. When Walter retired from the family farm in his 60s, he handed it over to Karen’s brother, while Walter and Alice enjoyed being snowbirds in Yuma, Ariz. Walter ultimately passed away at the age

When asked about the secret to her longevity, her explanation differed from that of her daughter. “She’s just a naturally happy person who’s still interested in the world,” Karen Abbott said. “I’ve exercised a lot, between dancing and serving food and playing baseball when I was younger,” Alice Spane said. “I also eat a lot of potatoes.” Alice Spane’s 100th birthday party will run from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, at the Olympic Place Retirement Community, located at 20909 Olympic Place in Arlington.

‘Operation Desert Comfort’ collects for troops ARLINGTON — The Arlington American Legion Post 76 family will be collecting non-perishable food and snacks, as well as hygiene and other personal items, at Legion Park in downtown Arlington, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, for American troops serving in Afghanistan. Those who don’t want to wait can drop off their donations, not only at Arlington American Legion Post 76 at 115 N. Olympic Ave., but also at Britt Sport Cards at 332 N. Olympic Ave. “I served in our armed forces during peacetime, so I can’t compare my service to the sacrifices our soldiers make every day by serving in war zones,” said Mike Britt, owner of Britt Sport Cards. “What I do know is that simple gifts reconnected me with home, while I was separated from my family and friends. Can you imagine the relief these gifts provide to our young men and women who are at war?” Among the requested items are disposable razors, travel-size shampoo, mouthwash, toothbrushes, floss, chips, cookies, cupof-noodles soup, Pop Tarts, sardines, crackers, instant oatmeal, gum, Tabasco Hot Sauce and baby wipes. Do not include chocolate, as it will melt.

Barker celebrates 90th birthday with family, friends BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — Elwood “Woody” Barker’s family and friends helped him celebrate his 90 years, at his home in Lakewood on Sunday, Feb. 23, with recollections that all served to confirm his lifelong work ethic. “My dad served with him on the Lakewood School Board years ago,” Wayne Vroman said of Barker, whose term on the school board lasted from 1973-79. “He was always the hardest-working man around. He didn’t stop from early

morning to dark.” Jeanne and Alan Lish have likewise known Barker since the mid-1970s, and recalled Elwood roping his son Steve into carpentry projects they did for the Lishes. “Steve and I also taught together at Arlington High School,” Alan Lish said. “Even without that connection, I would have known how civicminded Elwood was.” “Elwood is one of the most sincere, friendly and positive people,” Jeanne Lish said. “He always has a wave and a smile for everyone, and he’s very proud of his family. He may be

90, but his mind is still sharp.” From his 50s through his 80s, granddaughter Stephanie Batenschoen observed how Barker remained active in building and fixing things. “I’ve never met a man who worked as hard, and he was never done with his work,” Batenschoen said. “He always said the last thing he would ever do is pull the casket lid on top of himself.” Grandson Bryce Barker, a Lakewood High School alum who now coaches LHS boys soccer, reported that Elwood attended not only all of his grandchildren’s games, but

also all of the games that Bryce has coached. “He’s never really taken vacations,” Bryce Baker said. “He’s always had some project or something to do, and that structure has served as an example for the rest of our family to live by.” “We’ll have been married 65 years in June, and he hasn’t changed a bit,” Marilyn Barker said. “He’s still the nicest, most gentle man.” “All I ever wanted was a nice place to live, a good-looking wife and plenty of children to raise, and boy, I got it all,” Elwood Barker said.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
