Arlington mother places second in ‘Super Mom’ contest

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — “In our eyes, you won, Mom,” 13-yearold Anastaya Dickson told her mother, Arlington’s Stephanie Dickson, after she’d received the call from KING 5’s “New Day Northwest” producers. “In 10 million people’s eyes, you won.”

Dickson, an active mother of six, made it to the final three in the TV show’s “Super Mom” contest, and while the phone

call she received on the afternoon of the show’s May 4 taping informed her that she hadn’t won first place, she still walked away with second place and is set to receive some gifts from the TV producers.

“It’s amazing how much she does for people,” Anastaya said.

“She’s always there for us too.

She’s a really loving kind of person. How could she not win?”

Dickson herself took the news in stride, and was grateful simply to have been nominated at all.

“I don’t think I’m the best mom out there,” Dickson laughed. “It was nice to get all those good wishes from my friends and family, though.”

To qualify for the contest, prospective “Super Moms” needed to be at least 18 years old and involved in community service in addition to mothering. Dickson has had four children and adopted two others, one of whom has special needs that include “global SEE MOM, PAGE 2

Masons honor local students

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Out of 27 nominees from Arlington and four nominees from Darrington, the Arlington Masonic Lodge 129 had to choose two students from each school district to receive its student achievement awards and scholarships on April 27.

Boyd McPherson, worshipful master of the lodge, recognized all of the more than 30 students for their scholastic accomplishments. He acknowledged that the Masons faced a tough decision in narrowing their financial awardees down to just one boy and one girl from the junior class of each school district, due to the excellence of all the scholarship applicants.

Ultimately, Dana Canaria and Colton McCoy were chosen from Arlington High School, while Andrew Forrest and Sarrah Peterson were selected from Darrington SEE MASONS, PAGE 2

lauded Dickson for organizing volunteers into distributing two tons of produce to 200 families twice a month.

“Anything that you give your attention to, you’re going to get better at,” said Dickson, who also serves as a lay minister and instructor at her church, and uses her teaching degree to homeschool her children. “I’ve improved as a mother over the years by focusing on it and learning tricks from other people.”

Dickson noted that she’s

he most common of joint disorders, osteoarthritis (or socalled “wear-and-tear” arthritis), is associated with the breakdown of cartilage.

As a result, there is more friction between bones at the joint, which causes pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. While no dietary/ nutritional regimen has ever been shown to alleviate or prevent osteoarthritis, exercise can help. The insidious thing about osteoarthritis is that joint stiffness and pain may make sufferers want to avoid exercise. However, doing so can only lead to stiffer joints. Inactivity weakens the muscles that stabilize joints. Thus, exercise is needed to maintain strong muscles. The chiropractor may assist in this effort by helping osteoarthritis sufferers increase the range of motion of affected joints. Professional chiropractic care can be especially helpful in relieving pain for osteoarthritis, facet joint injuries, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Call us at 360.435.3900 and find out how chiropractic care can enhance your well-being and help you enjoy your life to the fullest.

not the only hard-worker in her house, since she enlists her children in helping her deliver The Arlington Times.

While a small stipend of that money goes to the children themselves, the rest funds the family’s annual vacation trips.

“Last fall we went to Disneyland, and last June we visited in-laws in Illinois,” Dickson said, before laughing, “The Arlington Times paid for my son’s school trip to Florida.”

The May 4 taping of “New Day” became a small family trip to Seattle, with Dorrel taking the day off and Stephanie getting more and more nervous the longer she waited in the green room.

She respects the community service work of her fellow “Super Mom” nominees, but when it came time to introduce herself to the TV audience, Dickson chose to speak about her adopted children instead.

“It’s easy to get sad over

orphans in Africa, but there are thousands of kids without parents right here in Washington,” Dickson said.

“Africa might be too far away to fix things for those orphans, but these kids are so close to us. When you adopt a child, you change their whole world.”

Even as she did her errands around the house later that day, Dickson’s children took the time to share quiet hugs with her, as both 10-yearold daughter Elizabeth and 6-year-old son William described “cuddling” as one of their favorite things to do with mom.

“My kids thought I should have won the contest, which is the most gratifying thing,” Dickson said. “When it’s the people who see you every day, even when you’re not at your best, that’s when it really means something.”

“She’s practically perfect in every way,” Dorrel laughed.

“I’m full of love for this community,” said McCoy, who commutes from Lake Stevens. “I want to thank the JROTC, because without that program, I wouldn’t be the person I am. I wish I lived in Arlington.”

AHS Principal Brian Beckley praised the parents in attendance for the role they played in the student nominees’ academic successes, before presenting AHS English teacher Erik Heinz with the lodge’s educator of the year award. Beckley credited Heinz with establishing the school’s video production department, blending the arts and sciences in ways that engage students’ minds, and balancing them with a demanding coaching schedule.

Residents invited to attend Marysville University classes MARYSVILLE — Marysville University invites you to register for a free one-night civics class that will provide attendees with an opportunity to help the Parks and Recreation Department develop its next comprehensive plan to articulate the vision, future goals and strategies for the parks system.

Marysville University will meet from 6:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, May 18, in the Council Chambers, 2nd Floor in City Hall, 1049 State Ave. Information gathered at this community class will help elected officials, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and staff identify short-term and long-term community

needs to keep pace with our growing city, manage resources and provide quality park and recreation services for the benefit of individuals, communities and the environment, says Jim Ballew, Parks and Recreation Director.

The evening will kick off with an overview of the Parks and Recreation Department as shared by recreation services, classes, athletics and maintenance staff. The night will then give attendees time to complete a vital Parks and Recreation needs survey that was mailed to 500 randomly-selected community members in April.

“MU provides an informal classroom-style forum that brings people from

the community together to gain a better understanding of how their local government functions, inspires them to become part of the solution-seeking process, and informs them about City programs, services and projects,” said Mayor Jon Nehring, who reinstituted the classes last fall.

Please call City Hall at 360-363-8091 by May 11 to reserve your seat, or email Executive Asst. Lynn Schroeder at lschroeder@ marysvillewa.gov. Be sure to include name, phone, address and email address.

For more information contact Community Information Officer Doug Buell at 360-363-8086 or email dbuell@marysvillewa.gov.

M-P hosts concert for Young Life MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck High School auditorium will host a concert to help support at-risk area children.

Hannah Michelle Weeks is a recording artist and songwriter who’s shared stages with country music stars Kenny Chesney, Darius Rucker, Rodney Atkins and Eric Church, and on May 20 starting at 7 p.m., the M-PHS auditorium will serve as the stage for her benefit concert for Young Life of North Snohomish County.

Mark Wagner will open the show for Weeks, and has performed with artists such as Brandon Heath, Paul Wright and Rachel Lampa. Wagner has sung in front of thousands of high school students during his volunteer work with Young Life, an organization that he believes can give hope to the hopeless.

“This is where my heart is at,” Weeks said of her work for programs that support teens and young adults. “Experiencing kids opening up

about their lives has been amazing, and has played a big part in shaping who I am.”

This show will help send middle school and high school kids to camp this summer at Washington Family Ranch Creekside and the Malibu Club in Canada. Young Life is a nonprofit organization that provides high-risk kids in those age groups with adult mentors, with whom they can build positive, lasting relationships and invest in their own lives.

Through these relationships, they also share the gospel. This summer, the program will send 133 kids to camp, and aims to offer scholarships to those kids who wouldn’t be able to afford it otherwise. North Snohomish County Young Life is currently active in Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood, Lakewood, Granite Falls and the Tulalip reservation.

General-admission tickets are available online at www.brownpapertickets.com. There will be no reserved seating.

New gym at Marysville Care Center MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Care Center invited city officials, care center residents and physical therapists to celebrate the grand opening of its new outpatient therapy gym.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring took part in the gym’s ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 14, which was followed by an open house showcasing the facility’s benefits to the community.

“Our new gym will help allow us to see more patients on an outpatient basis,” said

John Hovey, director of marketing and admissions for the Marysville Care Center.

“It’s much larger than our previous gym, and is also located at the front of the building with its own private entrance, giving it easier access for outpatients.”

Serving up a taste of the South

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood High School Drama Department will be bringing a taste of Southern-fried culture to their auditorium this month, when they stage two weekend showings of “Steel Magnolias” as a student play.

LHS seniors Tasha Bartol, Karen Christiansen and Britney Martin will be joined by juniors Kristina Ryan, Kaitlin Jones and Melody Costley in recreating the famous cinematic classic of female bonding in hair salons, and according to drama teacher Rebecca Winsor, it’s already been a rewarding experience for all involved.

“The last time I staged this play was in 1999 in Chesapeake, Va.,” said Winsor, a self-described “li’l ol’ Southern gal” who’s since made the Pacific Northwest her home.

“I used tapes of my own Southern accent to help the girls get a feel for it, so that they can stay in character and maintain their accents through the play.”

Although some of the girls have struggled not to let their accents drop at certain points, Winsor praised them all for doing very well, and singled out Bartol in particular for the authenticity of the Southern drawl that she’s created.

“Tasha hasn’t had any problems,” Winsor said.

“I spotted her two years ago in one of my classes and knew that I wanted to work with her. All of these girls have been great to work with. They’re very capable, reliable and talented.”

Winsor has had plenty of time to develop a rapport with her performers, since three of them have worked with her for three years on school plays, and Jones is the only student whom Winsor hadn’t worked with before “Steel Magnolias.” After audi-

tions on March 7-8, the cast hit the ground running with rehearsals starting March 10.

The LHS Drama Department will perform “Steel Magnolias” starting at 7 p.m. on May 13, 14, 20 and 21. While the play alone runs for $7 a ticket, or $5 with an ASB card, the May 21 showing offers a tasty bonus.

Those who show up to the LHS auditorium that night at 5:30 p.m. and pay $25 per ticket will be treated to dinner and a show, courtesy of Church Lady’s Catering, which is run

by Christiansen’s mother.

Those who pay for the 5:30 p.m. dinner will receive front-row seating for the 7 p.m. show, and will get to choose from a menu of authentic Southern cuisine including barbecued chicken.

The LHS auditorium is located at 17023 11th Ave. NE in Arlington.

Before taking too much water, ensure it’s there

A

basic rule of natural resources management today is that you don’t take too much of something unless you have a good idea how much there is to begin BILLY FRANK, JR. with. That was the point behind the Squaxin Island Tribe’s effort to protect water resources in the Johns Creek watershed, and a Thurston County Superior Court judge recently agreed.

The tribe had petitioned the state twice in two years to stop water withdrawals in the Johns Creek basin until scientific information could be gathered to determine impacts from the multiplying wells.

The state said it just couldn’t do that. Budget problems, they said.

For as much as we don’t know about how much water is available in the small Johns Creek watershed, there’s no doubt that the creek is mostly fed by groundwater in the basin. Flows in Johns Creek have dropped steadily since records started being kept in the 1950s, and every year the shortage has increased.

Since 1984 when its stream flow was formally protected, more than 200 “permit-exempt” wells have been drilled close to Johns Creek. State law allows these wells to be drilled without a permit and pump up to 5,000 gallons of water a day. Decades ago this type of well provided homeowners and others with easier access to water.

Today those wells number in the thousands in western Washington and more are being drilled all the time.

“While we seek cooperation first in all of our natural resources management efforts, there are times when we must go to court to protect our culture and treaty rights.” That’s what my friend, Andy Whitener, natural resources director for the Squaxin Island Tribe, had to say.

He’s right; this was one of those times. Our treaty rights include the right of protection of natural resources. We will not stand by as those rights and resources are threatened.

The Legislature should provide the necessary funding for the state department of Ecology’s water resources mapping and assessment program. The money would be used to create comprehensive maps that would allow more science-based decision making about water availability. This would help avoid the kind of litigation that Squaxins were forced to take.

The fees necessary to support such an effort would add only about $200 to drilling a well, a small amount when you consider the investment in a new well is often more than $10,000. A couple hundred bucks per well isn’t too much to ask for the kind of information we need to make responsible decisions about how much water we’re taking out of the ground.

About half of all us who live here in Washington rely on groundwater for our drinking water. That’s a lot of people who deserve to know how much water they have. The Legislature should help make that happen.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A call of support to the residents of Marysville Saturday, May 14, is the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive. The donations raised through this event provide a major portion of the food required to serve Marysville families in need throughout the summer.

Last year thirty-two thousand pounds of non-perishable food was gathered during the drive, 8,000 pounds short of the 2009 figure. With the volume of families visiting the Food Bank up 5 percent for the year to date, it is important for the community to rally together this year to ensure our neighbors are fed.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Dell Deierling Director, Marysville Community Food Bank

Don’t miss upcoming forums at PAC I recently read some survey results provided by the Snohomish Health District about the health habits of sixth, eighth, tenth, and 12th-grade students in Snohomish County. Use of alcohol and marijuana is still very prevalent; bullying is definitely an issue for our youth and statistically one-fifth of tenth graders reported they considered suicide in the past year.

On Sept. 24, 2009 my husband and I received the phone call in the middle of the night that every parent fears: the call from someone telling you your child has

died. Our 22-year-old daughter Jessica had taken her own life.

My daughter didn’t have a history of depression, didn’t drink or do drugs, and was never bullied or mistreated by family or friends. She was a very high achiever and had just graduated with honors from WSU. But just when she started a master’s program at the U. of W. a storm of negative feelings and extreme anxiety overcame her in a very short period. She spiraled into a state of extreme panic and she was not capable of pulling herself out from it. We couldn’t comprehend how this horrific tragedy could have happened. We have since learned that suicide is the third leading cause of death in youth between the ages of 19-24 and that a suicidal state can come on quickly and suicidal actions can be impulsive.

At upcoming free forums information will be presented about risk factors that may lead to suicide. If you have children or interact with youth in your life, please consider attending these forums in May where talented speakers will educate our community about the following topics at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center in Arlington, 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd. from 7:00-830 p.m.: ■ Abuse of Alcohol, Street and Prescription Drugs — Wed., May 11.

■ Bullying and Violence - Its Forms and Effects — Thurs., May 12.

■ Self-Esteem – Depression – Anxiety Attacks – Expectations — Wed., May 25.

■ Abusive or Violent Relationships: Dating, Family, or Friends — Thurs., May 26.

Childcare will be available for children ages 3-12.

I encourage you to educate yourself about our youth’s emotional, physical, and psychological health. I would not have thought any of these forum topics applied to my child or family just as you might not think any of these topics apply to your child. That may or may not be true, but what about all the other youth you may also interface with in our community? Come to these forums and find information and resources applicable to helping youth in our communities.

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Paraphrasing JFK, “Ask not what Boeing can do for you, ask what you can do for Boeing.” In a stunning move, the National Labor Relations Board, a “neutral” government arbiter in labor/ management disputes, has sued Boeing. Why? Because Boeing had the audacity to build a second production line in S. Carolina, a “right to work” state.

So why isn’t the NLRB suing the state of Washington or the unions who through their actions have made Washington a hostile business environment? Why isn’t the government offering tax credits to Boeing for creating more U.S. jobs just like it does to GE for laying off U.S. workers in favor of creating more jobs in China?

Working for a cleaner, safer community

ike clockwork, the first signs of the warmer, sunnier weather of spring and summer in Marysville awaken the active spirit in our community, as families, neighbors and outdoor enthusiasts get out and enjoy local parks, trails and sidewalk shopping.

Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when Marysville, like many other communities, sees a pickup in graffiti, vandalism and general disorderly activity. It is frustrating and disgusting to see this, since we all want a cleaner, more attractive and livable community.

The city through its Police and Parks and Recreation departments, Code Enforcement Office, Graffiti Task Force and leadership from elected leaders have all taken a proactive stance in responding to these quality of life issues. We have made remarkable headway in recent years, and we are continually adopting new approaches and activities to address these problems.

But we need help, and that’s where you come in. We need to work together to curb these senseless crimes before they proliferate throughout the city and become an ever bigger problem. You can be an extra set of eyes and ears for our police. Be vigilant when you are out using parks, trails and enjoying the outdoors this spring and summer, as well as in your own neighborhood. If you witness an act of graffiti, vandalism or suspicious activity that might be vandalism, or you have information that can help catch the perpetrators, please call 911 immediately so that police can respond. Gather as much information as possible – time, date, place, suspect and

vehicle description. Photos are helpful, too.

Graffiti is a serious problem that negatively impacts commerce, reduces property values, creates blight and increases the propensity for gang-related activity.

The city has been aggressive in education and enforcement efforts that have cracked down on graffiti and tagging, but it remains a problem.

Graffiti and vandalism are a sight that has become too common in recent summers. For Marysville, the damage adds up to an ugly, expensive problem. In 2010, it cost city taxpayers more than $22,250 to address property damage caused by vandals — this does not take into account the costs associated with law enforcement and code enforcement response. The City Council has spent a great deal in recent years to develop parks, trails and provide important community facilities. Destruction of parks and parks equipment add an extra cost burden on you, the taxpayer.

This year, through efforts of the city’s hard-working Graffiti Task Force, various departments and the City Attorney’s Office, we have developed some new initiatives to deal with graffiti and vandalism.

Graffiti usually pops up in public places such as on playground equipment and street signs. Another common spot for graffiti is on homeowners’ fences

LETTERS FROM PAGE 6 government’s opinion of business. GE’s favorable tax credits in spite of destroying U.S. jobs, may have a lot to do with its donations to particular politicians. So, why do politicians, union employees and union management insist on “biting the hand that feeds them?”

Politicians, Boeing employees, and all other concerned citizens who depend on a healthy business environment should be begging to speak to Boeing executives about how to keep Boeing jobs in the great Northwest. Why aren’t these same individuals “shutting down Olympia” in protest to get laws and regulations to help Boeing create new jobs and products in the Northwest? Wouldn’t that better serve the unions and their employees? There will be politicians who will claim to have “saved your job today” but who will not tell you that they “destroyed your job tomorrow” because they support this government intrusion.

Why does Boeing have to spend a dime

facing streets.

Graffiti and the blight it creates is self-perpetuating — if it isn’t removed promptly (within 24-48 hours), studies show that the frequency and amount will increase. City laws in force since 2007 require removal from property within 48 hours of the city receiving notice of a violation.

The city realizes that this can place an undue burden on homeowners. To that end, the city is reaching over the fence to help neighbors get rid of graffiti speedily in order to deter recurring graffiti vandalism from becoming a lingering eyesore.

Under a new Graffiti Abatement Program, the city will ensure removal of graffiti from fences at no expense to homeowners. The main focus is fences that are visible from streets and high-traffic areas prone to attacks by taggers and graffiti vandals.

In order to participate, residents must sign a Consent to Enter Onto Property to Abate Graffiti granting city workers permission to enter the homeowner’s property to remove future graffiti from their fences at no cost. Essentially, city workers only need access to frontage outside the fence facing a street. A letter also accompanies the form asking residents to choose from three colors of paint that will best match their fence. The city’s Code Enforcement Officer has already mailed the information to more than 200 homes. If you are interested, visit the city website at http://marysvillewa.gov to download the forms, then mail or drop them off at the City Community Development Department, 80 Columbia Ave. The city is also planning to fight back against graffiti through

Education shouldn’t be a game of chance Marysville School District has eight small learning communities (SLC) that serve high school students. The eight SLCs are International School of Communication, School for the Entrepreneur, Bio Med, Academy of Construction and Engineering, Pathways of Choice, Marysville Mountain View, Arts and Technology and Heritage.

Each SLC community specializes in unique core classes geared toward specific industry. Example: If you are interested in business your SLC of choice would be School for the Entrepreneur. The SLCs are not equal; the curriculum focus and electives are different for each SLC.

a first-ever community-wide Graffiti Paint Out. Join the city of Marysville, active duty members of Navy Recruiting District — Seattle and others as we mobilize neighbors to eliminate graffiti “hot spots” around our community.

Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 16 in the Cedarcrest Middle School north parking lot, 6400 88th St. NE, to receive painting materials and location assignments that will direct them to several places around Marysville and street-side fences where homeowners have been victimized.

We want this event to send a clear message to graffiti vandals and taggers that our community has zero tolerance for graffiti. We hope you will join us in eradicating the unsightly blight that it creates along streets and in our neighborhoods.

To sign up for the Graffiti Paint Out, or other volunteer opportunities, contact Parks Maintenance Manager Mike Robinson at 360-363-8406 or e-mail mrobinson@marysvillewa.gov. You can also visit our website any time to report graffiti using our Graffiti Online Reporting Form, which also lets you attach photos of the damage, helpful intelligence for police and city workers who can respond with cleanup.

Police and Parks officials have one more added tool this summer to address issues that occur in our parks system. A Park Code was developed and adopted into the Marysville Municipal Code by way of the Park Board and City Council.

These new laws and policies will let park visitors and families recreate more enjoyably knowing

Each year the school district asks current eighth-grade students to review each of the eight SLC curriculums and choose their top three choices. Students not only have to think about what classes interest them, they have to think about career choices.

The district provides information to parents and students through pamphlets and information fairs. Once the student make their choices they complete their SLC form and turn it in; the district then assigns each student an number and these numbers are plugged into a computer-driven lottery.

Students do not decide where they will attend, the lottery does. The lottery has made education a game of chance.

If the student is unhappy with the SLC given they can file an in-district transfer. Transfers are only honored as space becomes available; if space does not become available students remain in the SLC given regardless of preference. Never does MSD consider why the student made their first choice or ask what courses at the SLC they need to gain academic rigor. MSD is requesting that eighth-grade students make challenging choices about their future career paths and spend the next four years

that police and Parks personnel have more tools now to deal with vandals, trouble-makers and scofflaws who can disrupt an otherwise pleasant day at the park.

The code covers several areas of concern including defacing of property, littering, unleashed or abandoned animals, weapons, and trespassing by scofflaws who have already been banned from a park or are there after closing hours. The laws help police officials and park administration in enforcing current policies, and establish civil infractions and police enforcement and/ or administrative sanctions that can range from expulsion from a park for a week, up to a year for more than two offenses, or harsher penalties.

Violators are subject to a civil infraction and police enforcement and/or administrative sanctions, with immediate expulsion from a park ranging from a seven-day ban for a first offense, 90 days a second time, and a year for more than two offenses. A wide range of illegal disorderly behavior can turn a park into an unwelcome, unattractive and ultimately unsafe public space that carries added public safety and park maintenance costs.

As a community, we must not tolerate the senseless activity of graffiti and vandalism. Let’s work together to address these ongoing problems, to ensure that our neighborhoods and parks are clean, attractive and safe places where families and kids can relax and enjoy a better quality of life.

Mayor Jon Nehring can be reached at mayor@marysvillewa.gov.

studying in this pathway; however there are no safeguards to make sure each student receives the needed curriculum to attain their future goals.

Marysville School District states in No. 7 of its vision statement, “We believe that it is critical to ensure that all students are prepared for work and post secondary education and training.” Yet you can be an eighth-grade student who has met the challenge to think about your future, made a definitive decision and not receive the SLC of choice. They ask that you compromise your goals, settle for coursework and classes that were adequate but not geared towards the academic rigor you requested.

When you serve 3,200 high school students with about 800 of them freshmen the lottery is a necessity, but Marysville School District needs to stand back and review their SLC selection form and the lottery procedure. MSD needs to amend its procedures to ensure that every student is the lucky winner of the lottery.

Marysville Mayor honors Dan Steffen

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring is proud to announce Dan Steffen as community Volunteer of the Month for April for his volunteer coaching and mentoring of students in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School NJROTC air rifle marksmanship program, and his leadership with the Marysville Kiwanis Club.

“In Marysville, we have become accustomed to hearing about the stellar achievements of outstanding cadets in the NJROTC program at MarysvillePilchuck High School,” Mayor Jon Nehring said at the April 25 City Council meeting where Steffen was honored.

It is less common, he said, to hear about the adults and mentors behind the NJROTC program that instill in cadets responsibility, commitment to community service, respect for

authority and a chance to development leadership qualities.

Steffen is one of these mentors.

Steffen, who was nominated by NJROTC Cmdr.

Randy Brasfield, (U.S. Navy Retired), has “gone above and beyond expectations to earn this honor,” said the Mayor.

Steffen has served as a volunteer air rifle coach for the NJROTC Air Rifle Team for three years. During the competitive season from October to June, Steffens volunteers 36-48 hours a month, with team practices up to four hours a day four times a week, with occasional day-long shoulderto-shoulder competitions.

Outside the competitive season, Steffen helps to improve the range and maintain unit air rifles.

Steffens brings a level of marksmanship experi-

ence that few people have, Nehring said. His coaching experience reaches into Olympic and national level competitions, and he is able to provide marksmanship participants with fine tuning that improves their scores to competitive levels.

Through coaching and training that Steffens offers, cadets gain the expertise to expand their marksmanship skills by recognizing problem areas and providing solutions that increase their scores, Nehring said.

The self-confidence, selfdiscipline, time management and life skills the students pick up along the way carry over into school and home.

In other community service, Steffen serves as President of the Marysville Kiwanis Club. He and wife Vicki, also a Kiwanis member, were joined by a half dozen club members at Steffen’s recognition ceremony.

Kiwanis has partnered with the City in numerous ways over the years.

Kiwanis Pond in Jennings Park, site of the annual Fishing Derby on May 7, bears their name, as does a small park in the Soper Hill-Sunnyside area.

Reflecting on a lifetime in forestry

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Earl Ingebright’s devotion to forestry can be measured in decades.

The 93-year-old first purchased what would become the Valhalla Tree Farm in 1959 as a summer home, but it wasn’t until 1993 that he began tree-farming in earnest, 20 years after he’d retired from the U.S. Postal Service.

“I was always interested in forestry, and I even went to college for it at the University of Washington,” Ingebright said. “My ambition was to be a forest ranger, and I only started working at the Post Office parttime, until I realized that I was making more money there than I would in the Forest Service.”

As a newlywed at the time, taking care of his family took precedence.

Ingebright has been married to his wife Laurine for 73 years, and as their children have grown up, the family has been able to help take care of the now-75-acre tree farm. Earl and 58-yearold David live on the farm,

for which they applied for farm certification. Earl and David wrote a forest stewardship management plan and took a forestry class from the Washington State University Extension office in Mill Creek in order to be considered for the title of Washington State Outstanding Tree Farmers of the Year by the Washington Farm Forestry Association, a title which the Ingebrights won last year.

“He had a great time here as a kid, since it had places he could dig holes and go fishing,” Earl Ingebright said of his son. “As he grew up, he took an interest in taking those courses.”

Expanding and developing the property in the years prior to its inauguration had given Earl Ingebright experience with clear-cutting trees and planting replacement seedlings, during which he took care to prune away the surrounding vegetation for at least five years after their planting. Valhalla has had three harvests since becoming a tree farm, and its diversity of terrain has made it especially important that Ingebright choose the trees most suited to each

area.

“It goes from moist and swampy to dry and rocky,” Ingebright said. “Part of our management plan was making sure we were matching the right types of trees and soils. I plant western red cedar seedlings in the wet parts of the land, because Douglas fir doesn’t do so well there. The Department of Natural Resources has been great about sharing their knowledge with us. If you’re at all serious about forestry, you should take the WSU class. I thought I knew some things about forestry before, but I found out that I didn’t know much.”

Ingebright uses an all-terrain cart to survey his own property, which often hosts church and youth group meetings, but his age hasn’t slowed him down.

“It’s improved my health,” Ingebright said. “I’m more active than I would be otherwise. I just love the outdoors.”

The WSU Extension Puget Sound Forest Stewardship program is staging its spring social in Everett on May 13, and has already opened registration for its fall Forest Stewardship Coached

Lady Eagles working toward a trip to state

BY SCOTT FRANK

sfrank@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/staff photo

Arlington’s Veronica Ladines’ run for first base didn’t reach home, but her team nonetheless edged out Stanwood on May 4.

ARLINGTON — Having already clinched a spot in the upcoming Districts playoffs, the Arlington Eagles girls softball team faced off against Stanwood, May 4, and battled back from an early deficit for a 11-10 victory.

“Our defense had a really tough game,” said head coach Lonnie Hicks. “We had eight errors today which is unbelievable for us.”

And while it may have been a tough day defensively for the Eagles, their offense came alive for 21 hits, getting the game-winning run in the seventh inning.

The Eagles are battling the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks for the top spot in the Wesco North League as the regular season winds down and Districts approach.

“When you’re in first or second place, everybody is gunning for you,” said Hicks about the remaining regular season games, including a May 6 game against M-P. “It’s going to be a really exciting game,” said Hicks referring to

the game against the Tomahawks.

“When we played them last time [April 1], they had a really good inning and we had to come back from a five-run deficit. We battled back and handed them their only loss of the season. They’re certainly going to want revenge for that loss.”

In his first year as head coach, Hicks credits the team’s maturity for the success the Eagles have had this season.

“I walked into the program with my own style and ideas,” said Hicks. “The transition was a little hard for both them and me, but we worked it out together and now I think we have a very, very strong team mentally.”

That tough mentality helps the team overcome difficult situations according to the coach.

“They just don’t get down when bad things happen, like today when we had eight errors,” Hicks said. “They just didn’t get down on each other, they stay up with each other, pulling for each other so they give themselves a chance to win.”

The Eagles’ final regular season

game is May 11 against Monroe, and the Districts playoffs begin May 17.

“Moving into Districts we’ll be refining some of the things we find ourselves a little weak on, things that we can improve,” said Hicks. “It’s time now where we have most of the things set up, but there are still just some things that we need to implement to allow them to play at the next level.”

Hicks said he also wants the Eagles to continue playing their game.

“We’re pretty strong offensively,” Hicks said. “We’ve been hitting the ball really well all season so our strength is our offense.”

Two Eagles are hitting the ball particularly well this season.

“Veronica Ladines, a sophomore pitcher, is hitting over .600 for the season and she has six home runs,” said Hicks. “And senior Kalie Basher, who has been an anchor at first base, is hitting over .400. And defensively, when you throw her the ball she SEE EAGLES, PAGE 13

Local mountain bikers among the best in the state KIRK BOXLEITNER

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — Most of the members of the new Lakewood High School Mountain Bike Club started without a cycling background, according to head coach Kristi Berg, but in two months’ time, they progressed from learning the basics of mountain biking to racing successfully enough to be recognized as among the best in the state.

On May 1, the seven-member team of Lakewood, Marysville and Arlington students went to Joint Base Lewis-McChord to compete in the inaugural Washington State High School Mountain Bike Championships, and out of the 22 teams that had registered in the Washington state National Interscholastic Cycling Association this year, the composite Lakewood,

“They’re really good kids who just like to be outside.

It’s been fun creating the team and seeing kids who didn’t know each other start to become friends and have something in common.”

Kristi Berg, head coach Lakewood High School Mountain Bike Club Marysville and Arlington team placed third overall.

“The girls raced 12K, while the boys raced 16K, on a course that consisted of dirt trails and paths that constantly changed in elevation, with short, steep, punchy climbs and whiteknuckle descents,” Berg said.

“We are really proud of the kids on this team. What a first-year season.”

Lakewood High School freshman Nicolle Ayers placed fifth for the girls, followed by Arlington High School freshman Hannah Mendro in sixth

and LHS freshman Jessica Scott in ninth. For the boys, Marysville’s Tyler Carr, a freshman at the Montessori School, placed eighth, followed by LHS seniors A.J. Cope in ninth and Eddie Mitchell in 15th. Mitchell finished the race with only his front brake, after losing his rear brake halfway through the first lap.

Although thrice-weekly practices quickly helped the kids build their ability to handle their bikes off-road, a few of SEE BIKERS, PAGE 13

BIKERS FROM PAGE 12 them have had to borrow bikes that are safe enough to ride in such conditions, as they save up to buy new bikes from team sponsors Stanwood Velo Sport in Arlington. Berg also credited Action Sports in Arlington with assisting the team with bikes, parts and equipment, and team clothing. She praised both businesses for making the team’s accomplishments possible through “their dedicated support,” and likewise characterized the team itself as surmounting its challenges through positive attitudes and mutual support.

“They’re all really good kids who just like to be outside,” Berg said. “It’s been fun creating the team and seeing kids who didn’t know each other start to become friends and have something in common.

Unfortunately, with budget cuts and the poor economy, kids are not getting as many opportunities to participate in sports, as programs are dropped and high gas prices limit transportation to events.”

Berg sees cycling as a productive response to such circumstances, not only by developing greater physical fitness,

but also by giving students another avenue for transportation to and from school and work.

“And cycling is something that you can continue to do at a recreational level, or racing, after high school and college in our local communities,” Berg said. “It’s a sport you can continue for the rest of your life.”

Because this was the team’s first year, its shortened season has included only two races so far, but Berg anticipates her young cyclists will take part in four races from March through May of next year. On May 22 of this year, they’ll be conducting a four-hour “Milea-Thon” fundraiser, to help compensate the kids for the fees and costs they’ve paid by pushing them to complete as many miles as they can.

“There are also local races throughout the state that we’ll encourage the kids to compete in on their own, to keep up their fitness throughout the summer,” Berg said.

If you are interested in sponsoring the team or learning more, email Berg at kristi@ cycleu.com. More information about the Washington State High School Mountain Bike League can be found at www. washingtonmtb.org.

While not taking anything for granted, Hicks said his team ultimately has its sights set on making it to the state tournament.

“The whole team wants our seniors to make it to state,” said Hicks. “Arlington hasn’t been to state since 1997. The last couple of years they’ve been close but didn’t make it, including last year when they were just one pitch away from making it.”

Arlington named ‘Tree City’

ARLINGTON — For the ninth year, the city of Arlington has been named a Tree City USA community, by the Arbor Day Foundation, for its commitment to urban forestry.

The Tree City USA program is sponsored by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service.

Arlington has once again met the four standards to become

a Tree City USA community.

Such communities must have a tree board or department, a tree-care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation.

“We commend Arlington’s elected officials, volunteers and citizens for providing vital care for its urban forest,” said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Trees pro-

vide numerous environmental, economic and health benefits to millions of people each day, and we applaud communities that make planting and caring for trees a top priority.”

In addition to meeting the four standards, communities that earn Tree City USA recognition know that trees: ■ Promote healthier communities by filtering the air we breathe, by removing dust and other particles.

■ Moderate climate, conserve water and provide vital habitat for wildlife.

■ Reduce the heat island effect in urban areas caused by pavement and buildings.

■ Increase property values, reduce energy use and add beauty to our homes and neighborhoods.

More information about Tree City USA can be found at www.arborday.org/ TreeCityUSA.

Projects such as the April 9 Country Charm tree planting have once again earned the city of Arlington the title of a Tree City USA community.

Arlington resident goes off the grid

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Boeing engineer Tom Flandro wanted to get off the grid and wean himself from foreign oil dependency, so when he was able to convert his twostory home to solar power and purchase an electric car, he took advantage of the opportunity.

Flandro explained that the Snohomish County PUD’s “Solar Express” program offers home owners a choice between a cash incentive of up to $2,500 for preapproved, qualified new solar panel systems, or a low-interest loan of up to $25,000 to finance the installation of the solar panel system, instead of the cash incentive.

“With everything that’s going

on today, I can’t help wondering why everyone doesn’t do this,” said Flandro, who laughed as he acknowledged that the rainy Pacific Northwest might seem like a counterintuitive location for a solar-powered home. “Yes, it’s very cloudy here, but because of our latitude, the sun stays out longer during the summer months, which actually makes us more competitive than the traditional ‘sun belt’ of places like New Mexico and Arizona.”

Flandro pointed out that these PUD “meter credits” from the spring and summer months can be used during the darker autumn and winter months. Northwest Wind & Solar installed the 22 SolarWorld modules with Enphase Microinverters, which are expect-

ed to generate approximately 5,000 kilowatt hours per year.

“Since the solar panels were finished being installed about a month ago, the electrical bill for my house has gone from $100 a month to literally nothing,” Flandro said. “Since I bought my Nissan Leaf three weeks ago, I’ve already saved about $200 in gas money, what with gas shooting up to $4 a gallon. My Mustang gets 22 miles to the gallon, and I’d easily drain that tank within a week.”

Flandro recharges the Leaf with a charger that he received government funding to install in his garage. He explained that each charge will last about 100 miles, and a completely drained battery can be recharged to 100 percent within seven hours, so he just

plugs his car into the charger once he comes home. Although the current distribution of recharging stations have seen him mostly driving his Leaf to work and back

Pleasing your spouse requires that you first learn what pleases your spouse, is it any different with God? Sometimes the things we do “for God” are really just things we do because we enjoy them, like the fellow who got his wife a new fishing pole for her birthday when what she really wanted was jewelry.

The benefits of exercise bands

hile experimenting with exercise bands, how many of you have gotten frustrated and now use them in place of bungee cords? Have they made you feel clumsy and entangled? Some of you may have used them on occasion, but feel they aren’t anything to write home about. If you fall into one of these groups who have missed the benefits of exercise bands and tubing, please keep reading.

First, to clarify the difference between tubes and bands, resistance tubes are round pieces of elastic and usually have handles; exercise bands are flat pieces of elastic that tend to be several inches wide.

Resistance tubing and exercise bands are becoming a popular rehabilitation and training tool because they are safe, convenient, portable, affordable and effective.

Even better is that anyone can get a great workout by using bands and/or tubing— fitness novices and professionals alike.

Convenient, Portable and Affordable

Does your job require you to travel?

Do you live in a small apartment? No problem with bands and tubing. They are flexible, small, and can easily fit inside a purse or small travel bag. Not only are they convenient, but they are affordable.

Depending on where you look, you can spend as little as $20-30 for a set of bands or tubing. Keep in mind that bands do

tend to stretch out, and they lose their elasticity with use over time, so investing in a quality set of bands or tubing is best.

Safe and Effective

Even though there have been few studies comparing the effectiveness of tubing vs. free weights, exercise specialists agree that exercise tubing and bands, when used correctly, are effective for strength training and for increasing range of motion and flexibility. Bands are also considered safe. If you happen to drop a band on your foot, it will not shatter a toe like a free weight might. However, like with all exercise equipment, there are safety factors to consider with bands and tubing.

Before using an exercise band or tube, make sure there are no holes or worn parts which may cause the elastic to break while in use. Always make sure you’ve securely anchored the tubing, and lastly, keep tubing and bands out of children’s reach.

Tubes and bands come in different colors to represent different resistance; higher resistance is achieved by making the rubber thicker. Unfortunately, makers of exercise tubes have not corroboratively decided which colors represent specific resistance totals. Before purchasing them, it is best to test the bands or tubing to ensure you purchase the appropriate resistance for your workouts.

Exercises using Bands or Tubing

Essentially, any exercise you do with a dumbbell you can also do with elastic.

By standing on a long exercise tube with handles, you can perform bent over rows, upright rows, overhead presses, lateral shoulder raises, and bicep curls. While standing on a shorter tube or band, you can add resistance to stationary lunges or plie squats. If you are able to attach the bands to a door or another stable and elevated place, you can perform lat pulls, pectoral flies and tricep pull downs. With a little imagination, you can invent safe, effective workouts of your own.

Combining Weights and Bands

Exercise bands can be used in addition to weight training. As many of you know, during exercises with variable resistance, the amount of resistance changes as you

move through the range of motion. For example, during a dumbbell bicep curl, the tension on a person’s bicep is less at the bottom and the top of the movement. To alter this, you can perform an isolated bicep curl using both a band and dumbbell by looping the band around the dumbbell and anchoring the band with your foot. By doing this, you are increasing the likelihood that the tension on your bicep will be more intense throughout the movement; in addition, you are required to control the “pull� of the band on the way down, rather than just controlling the “dead� weight of the dumbbell. If the band is the right strength, you may find that the dumbbell and band work in conjunction to help you build muscle.

What are you waiting for? Try using workout bands or tubes for your next workout, and please let me know how it goes — I love hearing from my readers.

Best of luck, stay positive, and keep up the great work.
