Arlington celebrates the Fourth of July

ARLINGTON — The afternoon of the Fourth of July in Arlington opened with a brand-new activity and eventually led into a familiar favorite that was observed in a new way.

The ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s first-ever “Mini-Marshmallow Madness” drew close to 300 attendees to Legion Park, according to Chamber Executive Director Michael Prihoda.

“Our goal for this year was to get 250 people packed in here and I’m almost certain we got more than that,” Prihoda said, after combatants of all ages alternated between blowing mini-marshmallows through “blasters” and sim-

ply throwing them at each other.

Seth Henderson, 18 wound up being the last one untouched by others’ marshmallow ammo, while in the distance shooting contest, Larry Stickney blew away the competition by blowing one mini-marshmallow 83.5 feet from his blaster.

“Political guys are full of hot air,” Stickney laughed.

Clay Meier’s red, white and blue blaster won the best decoration contest, while Michael Nalin was named the best shot, a feat he credited to aiming only for targets that he knew he could hit.

The Kiddies Parade that followed drew nearly 20 entrants, most of them in the “wheels” category, SEE FOURTH, PAGE 2

The B-25 Mitchell “Maid in the Shade” World War II bomber will make its way from Arizona to Arlington on July 8.

ARLINGTON — Although the B-17 Flying Fortress “Sentimental Journey” won’t be putting in its previously scheduled appearance at this year’s Arlington Fly-In, the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force is making sure that those who visit the Arlington Municipal Airport from July 8-10 still get to see a vintage World War II bomber.

The group’s restored B-25 Mitchell “Maid in the Shade” is set to arrive at the airport around noon on July 8, and will remain on display each day through July 10 until 6 p.m.

“The B-17 needed a new engine, which they have to completely

rebuild, so they’re sending us the B-25 instead,” Arlington Fly-In Executive Director Barbara Tolbert said. “We’re still getting a great warbird that’s making its first-ever appearance at the Fly-In.” The “Maid in the Shade” is a veteran of 15 combat missions, flying out of Corsica during WWII. The restoration to bring it back to flying condition took 28 years and was completed in June of 2009. Rides will be available on this aircraft during the Fly-In for $395 per person and can be scheduled by calling 480-322-5503 or by visiting the bomber.

although the “patriotic” and “costume” categories still drew some interest. The Dickson family not only won first place for costumes, with siblings William, Miriam and Elizabeth dressing up in period attire and rolling down Olympic Avenue in a miniature covered wagon as settlers, but sister Anastaya Dickson took second place in the patriotic category for her red, white and blue outfit.

The Grand Parade fell only one entrant short of matching last year’s 76 entries, and featured the regular cavalcade of farm vehicles, veterans, young athletes, Scouts and other community groups, although this year’s six-way mayoral race helped bump up the numbers of the “political” category from last year.

Chris Hoffman has attended the Grand Parade for 15 of the 21 years he’s lived in Arlington, and while he looked forward to seeing his daughter play the flute in the Arlington High School Marching Band this year, he also enjoys watching the fire trucks and old tractors drive past.

I’m really excited by all the new changes we’ll have ready for this year’s Fly-In.” Among those features and activities making their debut this year will be a fullfledged carnival, complete with rides and games of chance, that Tolbert expects will be up and running by the evening of July 6, as

feel of it,” Hoffman said.

Kim Casteel moved to Camano Island three years ago, but the Fourth of July still means returning to Arlington to see her family and take part in its festivities.

“I like my community,” Casteel said. “I love living in Camano, but it doesn’t have the same camaraderie as Arlington.”

Russell Kuro, one of the six surviving World War II veterans who rode in this year’s Grand Parade, simply expressed the hope that the spectators would enjoy it as much as he does. The WWII vets were followed for the first time this year by a trio of Vietnam veterans, including a nurse.

“Darlene [Harrington] and I were both there for the Tet Offensive,” said Dennis Barker, a former Army photographer. “She volunteered to be in. I hope we’ll get more Vietnam vets in for next year’s parade.”

After the parades but before the fireworks, Haller Park was packed with folks who were waiting to watch the Rotary Duck Dash, which sold tickets for 11,921 of its 12,000 rubber ducks, raising $50,330 in the process. Unfortunately, the same swift current on

the Stillaguamish River that made that morning’s Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon so quick also made it impossible for the Rotary Club of Arlington to “race” its ducks in those waters.

Thus, for the first time, the ducks competed on dry land this year, as two backhoes dumped them on the grass, and the Duskin brothers teamed up to collect the prize-winners, with Dave blindfolding himself and tossing randomly grabbed ducks into a net held by Dale. Pat Regan, Ryan McDuffy and Jay Van Emelen won the firstthrough third-place prizes of $5,000, $2,000 and $1,000 each, respectively.

And, of course, the day was topped off with a fireworks display sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce.

well as the vintage car show that will be on display on July 10.

At the same time, Tolbert promised that familiar favorites would be returning, including the daily air shows, static aircraft displays, runway theater, and rides in biplanes, helicopters and other warbirds, as well as the Saturday evening hot air balloon “Night Glow” on July 9.

The Wednesday kick-off to the Fly-In is once again “Kids Day,” starting at 9 a.m. on July 6. It will offer handson exhibits and activities

for youth, with a noon air show to complement lunch.

Youngsters will also be able to go on “rides” in a three-axis aircraft simulator through July 10.

“The weather reports I’ve gotten for that weekend have been nothing but good news,” Tolbert said.

“They’re predicting it will be drier and warmer than normal.”

Sound Harley raises funds to fight prostate cancer

Public hearing to debate medical marijuana dispensaries in Marysville

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

MARYSVILLE — With a number of statewide ballot measures seeking to put the issue of marijuana legalization up to a vote in Washington, the city of Marysville is weighing whether it should take action of its own.

On June 22, the “New Approach Washington� group filed for an initiative to legalize the growth, processing and sale of marijuana, in regulated stores to adults 21 years or older, which would allow the state Legislature to enact it themselves or put it on next year’s ballot.

Marysville’s Randy McDonald, head ride captain for the Puget Sound Chapter of the Harley Owners Group, explained that his chapter hits the road for about two charity rides a month, which goes up to about six charity rides a month during the summer.

“Sound Harley does a lot of good for this community,�

McDonald said. “They do a lot of charity runs through here. We’ve been able to raise money for groups like the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society and the Marysville, Arlington, Stanwood and Camano Island food banks.

It’s very community-centered.�

On July 11, the Marysville City Council will conduct a public hearing to consider an interim ordinance imposing a moratorium on the establishment, licensing and permitting of medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens within city limits.

Unless extended, this interim moratorium would sunset within six months of the date of its adoption, which would likewise need to be determined.

This issue is not a distant concern for Marysville city officials, who last year reported that they were as surprised as anyone else to learn that a medicinal mari-

SMOKEY POINT — More than 30 bikers took to the road to support the fight against a type of cancer that event organizers say needs more attention.

Sound Harley-Davidson teamed up with the Smokey Point Safeway store to offer the “Ride Today, Live Tomorrow� round-trip fundraiser which started at, and returned to, Sound Harley on June 11, collecting at least $25 from each rider to combat prostate cancer. “This affects one out of every six men,� said Rob Jones, manager of the Smokey Point Safeway. “It’s just good to give back.� “We’ve had several of our customers affected by this nasty disease, so we were thrilled when Rob approached us for this cause,� said Kari Korsgren, marketing and events manager for Sound Harley. “All of the proceeds collected go toward prostate cancer research and they all stay local.�

Arlington’s Rick Stevens was “one of the first in line� to sign up for this event, and he echoed Korsgren’s assertion that such charity rides are a big part of biker culture. “I’m just like, ‘Screw it, let’s ride,’� Stevens laughed. “I do it for my sanity as much as anything else.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Cheating our children

I

t was brought to my attention your decision to continue to make more cuts to the music programs throughout the Marysville Schools. I find it very frustrating you would make a decision with no regards to the impact this has to the children. I understand funding is tight throughout the schools, but how can you be so callus to cut one of the most influencing programs to a child’s development in self-esteem and creativity.

Music programs provide an opportunity to all students.

What program available to our children outside of the regular scholastic classroom studies provides an opportunity to create, to express yourself, build self-esteem and learn to work and harmonize with others socially as well as musically? What program with these opportunities has no boundaries of size and strength? Music is the only program available with broad reaching opportunities for all the students. Why is it sports continues to get precedence for funding and availability to the students, yet it’s an exclusive opportunity for those students who have athletic skills.

My daughter has been in Brenda Ehrhardt’s music program at Sunnyside Elementary for the past three years. Mrs. Ehrhardt and her program has been one of the most positive influences that I have observed for the Sunnyside students.

She brings amazing passion to her job and has cared about the quality of the music program and welcomed every child, and made each and every child believe anything is possible.

It’s been a very long time since I have seen such a level of commitment from a teacher and the overwhelming love she gets back from her students. This is a very rare thing and it’s so frustrating you would ignore such an amazing connection and are willing to take this opportunity away from the children.

This is a very challenging time for children and you should not be taking opportunities away from them and stop providing positive experiences which have such broad influences. These influences will carry beyond today and into the lives of many of the children.

I’m an executive in a Fortune 100 Corporation, I was a band geek and I had a Mrs. Ehrhardt in my life through my school years and I can truly say music was a major influence to me then and still today. What I find interesting, is how many other executives I meet who, too, where band geeks as well.

Creativity, self-esteem and expression are extremely critical to the development of our children. Explain to me this, how is it something you feel they don’t need and you are taking it away?

Nothing special

t a recent strategic planning conference for organizations that serve people with developmental conditions, our facilitator asked us to imagine that we wake up tomorrow and find that every obstacle to our work has been overcome, every problem solved, every battle victorious at last. What does the world look like now, she asked?

Of the many hopeful answers offered by the group, perhaps the most poignant was one colleague’s passionate desire to purge the term “special” from our lexicon. No more special education. No more special needs. No more special anything. No separate world for people whose way of experiencing life and whose way of knowing are different from ours. After all, what education isn’t special? What child doesn’t have special needs? Who doesn’t need love and support and encouragement to thrive?

In this sense there is nothing special about being labeled “special,” a term that can be just as hurtful and harmful as other labels commonly reviled for their brutality. It has been the core issue in every civil rights movement in our history — for people of color, for women, for gay people, and now for people with developmental conditions — to be branded as notlike-us and therefore inferior.

This really got me thinking again about my experience as a guest at the opening ceremonies of Special Olympics recent summer games. Yes, Special Olympics is “special” in the sense that it is unique, that it is an experience dedicated for the most part to people with developmental conditions, and therefore perhaps isolating in a way. But Special Olympics is also special in every gloriously positive

GUEST OPINION TOM EVERILL PRESIDENT & CEO OF NORTHWEST CENTER sense of the word. It is a celebration of life and hope and fun and affirmation that those of us who are not special enough to participate can only envy.

The opening ceremonies took place in a massive aircraft hangar at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. It looked like a college graduation scene with thousands of white folding chairs facing a stage festooned with flowers and balloons and fluttering banners. Soon the triumphal music of the Olympic Games announced the arrival of the athletes, and in they marched single file — all 2,500 of them — resplendent in their team uniforms and wearing smiles that outshone the sun, every last one of them.

The stream of athletes split before the podium with half seated in the west section of the hangar and half in the east where I had a front-row seat. Of the 1,250 athletes that passed by me in that joyous procession, at least 1,240 gave me a high five as they passed, beaming with pride at our applause, cheers, whistles, and words of encouragement.

Interspersed with the athletes were coaches, brothers and sisters, and parents, many of whom looked at me gratefully as they passed by and mouthed the words “thank you” through the din, many with tears in their eyes.

What a powerful experience!

And what powerfully contradictory emotions it triggered in me. Such events are very special in the sense

that every one of us has something to offer that flourishes when others encourage us and believe in us. I couldn’t help but think that so-called “normal” people were missing out on an amazing extravaganza of pure joy and energy, especially after the bluegrass band got all 2,500 athletes up and dancing — walkers, crutches, and braces twirling and waving with the music As the mayor of a nearby city told the assembled athletes, “The world needs you, it needs your energy and optimism.” Which of course is exactly why organizations like ours work so hard to integrate people of all abilities into the classrooms, workplaces, and social life of our community.

Celebrations like this are unique moments in the lives of the athletes, exceptions that prove the rule — a rule that involves 70 percent unemployment rates for people with disabilities; continuous battles with bureaucracy, isolation, and disrespect; and staggering funding cuts for essential support services. Yet no athlete I ever coached in nearly two decades of Little League, middle school, high school, and select club sports ever exuded such pure joy and energy. No parent ever thanked me tearfully, overcome with gratitude. They expected their child to play, they expected their child to be coached well, and they expected their child to succeed.

It is so often those facing daunting challenges who are grateful for what ought to be, who appreciate what is so special about every human being, and who share that wisdom with the rest of us.

Officials get FEMA training

ARLINGTON — A team from the city of Arlington, the Arlington School District and the Snohomish Health District recently attended a four-day “Multi-hazard Emergency Planning for Schools” course at the FEMA Emergency Management Institute in Maryland.

The goal of the June 20-23 course was to provide school district teams with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to review, enhance and sustain an allhazard school emergency operations plan. FEMA covered the travel, registration and lodging fees for the 10-member team.

The multi-disciplined team consisted of Raymond Malunay of the Snohomish Health District, Deputy Chief Tom Cooper of the Arlington Fire Department, School Resource Officer Seth Kinney of the Arlington Police Department, city of Arlington Emergency Management Coordinator Christine Badger, Arlington High School Athletic Director Tom Roys, Kent Prairie Elementary teacher Allen Larson, and Arlington School District Executive Director of Operations Sid Logan, Director of Transportation Cheryl

Power, Director of Food Services Ed Aylesworth and Public Information Officer Andrea Conley.

The course allowed the team’s members to discuss and view emergency situations, as well as understand the different roles and responsibilities between public safety and the school district staff. The team also had the opportunity to build partnerships and develop working relationships between themselves and other school districts from around the country.

“I found the training was invaluable to our school district and public safety preparation for any type of emergency,” Cooper said.

“The group worked together very hard on all projects put before us during the week. The communication

and collaboration between the team members will continue to help strengthen our preparedness and response strategies as we move forward.”

“This was a great opportunity to work with our local first responders to improve our emergency plans,” Logan said.

The course served as an opportunity to fulfill the Arlington School District’s Strategic Plan focus on providing a safe and caring environment to help students achieve their full potential.

“Using the collective knowledge and expertise of the instructors and participants, the school teams strengthened their school emergency operation procedures and gained a broader understanding

of emergency preparedness and planning,” Conley said.

Riders set off on a 15.8-mile ride in the first stage of the Peddle, Paddle, Puff competition Monday, July 4, at Haller Park.

Pedal, Paddle, Puff challenges competitors

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Bethany Earnhardt entered the Pedal, Paddle, Puff triathlon with a specific game-plan — make it to the end and try not to pass out somewhere in between.

After surviving the 5.8-mile bike ride, and then paddling the 6-mile canoe or kayak portion, Earnhardt’s strategy was right on track. And then came the 2-mile run.

“That’s an absolute killer,” Earnhardt said about the run. “I should have trained a little bit harder and way more often. But this was fun and I’ll do it again next year.”

With clear skies and the sun beating down, more than 30 cyclists, paddlers and runners competed in the Arlington Chamber of Commerce organized event. And when it was done, the family team of Mike and father Jim Trowbridge captured the overall Open category

and Mike Trowbridge won the Individual title.

Jim Trowbridge left the competition behind him once he hit the Stillaguamish River. When he reached shore he was nearly four minutes ahead of his nearest competitor.

“We love coming down here every year and participating,” Jim Trowbridge said. “My son, Mike, is the one who carried us. I am just an old guy.”

“I am a cyclist and I train about four days a week, so I felt really

good coming into today,” Mike Trowbridge said. said. “The running part of this race is definitely the most difficult because of all the hills. You’re either going up a hill or running downhill so you have to prepare for that. This was our seventh time running and it never gets easier.”

As for Earnhardt, she finished somewhere in the final wave of competitors. All she knows is that her family was the only fanfare greeting her at the finish line.

But for the mother of two, com-

peting had nothing to do with fairing well. It was about doing something she never thought she could do.

“I am guessing I finished last because I didn’t see anyone when I finished,” she said laughing. “But this was about doing something I never thought I could do. Now I want to climb Mount Rainier and jump out of an airplane. I just not sure those are realistic, but I am not getting any younger so I better get on it.”

All-Star pitcher aims for perfection

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Few can throw it, but Stilly Valley Seniors All-Star pitcher Ryan Walker has nearly mastered it.

It’s a slider, screwball and curveball all packed into one pitch — otherwise known as the “slurve.”

“It’s a tough pitch to throw, most pitchers can’t throw it,” Ryan’s dad Mark Walker said. “He has a natural slurve and he’s had it since he was young. When you throw the ball hard it will start inside and then move out.

He’s perfected that pitch. The batter will back out of the box and the ball will end up going right over the plate.”

During one game, Ryan Walker’s wacky pitch forced a batter to duck his head over the strike zone; the ball changed directions and darted over the plate, hitting the batter’s head.

Because the batter stepped inside the strike zone the umpire called it a strike — the third one no-less.

“That was one of my more memorable memories,” Ryan Walker said.

“Batters can only see the ball flying

toward them. They really don’t know where it’s going to land.”

There’s no doubting Ryan Walker’s talent on the mound. But now he has to shine brighter than ever in what might be his last All-Star tournament of his Little League career. Stilly Valley began the District 1 All-Star tournament on Sunday, July 3, at Lake Stevens Community Park. The championship game begins at 8 p.m., Wednesday, July 13, in Lake Stevens. The winner moves on to the state tournament.

Ryan Walker has made the All-Star team five consecutive seasons, but the teams he’s been on have yet to make it past state. If Stilly Valley wins both district and state it advances to regionals, July 17. The location has yet to be announced.

“We just seem to choke when we get to state,” Ryan Walker said. “We have the talent this year, we just need to stay focused and not worry about what’s going to happen. And we can’t choke most of all.”

The pitching pressure isn’t entirely on Ryan Walker’s shoulders. Of the 14 Stilly Valley players, 10 of them have pitching experience.

“I’d say seven of them are very solid,” said Mark Walker, who is also the Stilly Valley assistant coach. “That is a luxury most teams don’t have. Games can come down to the availability of pitchers. Some teams just run out. We won’t have that problem.”

When Ryan Walker isn’t pitching, he fits in nicely at shortstop — his second favorite position. However, with the arm of a cannon he’s touted as one of the best catchers in the district. Oddly, playing catcher might be his ticket to either a Division I or Division II college.

“A scout from USA Baseball came up to me after one of Ryan’s games where he was playing catcher,” Mark Walker said. “And he asked me about Ryan’s plans for the future. He told me that teams are looking for catchers. He seemed very interested in Ryan as a catcher.”

USA Baseball has been the national governing body for baseball for a large portion of amateur leagues across the nation since 1978. It represents the sport for the U.S. Olympic Committee SEE PITCHER, PAGE 9

Stilly Valley rolls in All-Star tourney

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes

ARLINGTON — The Stilly Valley AllStars zapped out any inkling of drama in its game against South Everett in the first round of the Majors District 1 Little League AllStars tournament.

Stilly Valley took a leap toward the tournament championship game after knocking off South Everett, 14-3, Saturday, July 2, at Quake Field.

“I am very proud of how we played,” Stilly Valley coach Wes Sheward said. “But we aren’t done. We are a far way from where we want to get.”

Stilly Valley’s No. 3 batter Tristen Sheward hit a two-run double in the first inning, scoring Tyson Human and Avery Earnheart, both of whom reached base on a walk and a single, respectively. After stealing third, Tristen Sheward scored following South Everett’s Andrew Bakko second wild pitch to give Stilly Valley a 3-0 lead.

“We got opportunities,” Wes Sheward said.

“And we took advantage of them.”

A Stilly Valley error in the third inning set up South Everett’s scoring. After reaching first base on the error, Bakko advanced to

PITCHER FROM PAGE 8 and the International Baseball Federation.

“It’s not too early to start thinking about his future,” Mark Walker said. “We have to consider which direction he should go next year. We haven’t ruled out select ball.”

second following Colton Crisler’s sacrifice bunt. Dawson Cook drove a Mason Bergley pitch to left field, scoring Bakko. Two batters later Mitchell Haldi knocked in Cook with a single narrowing Stilly Valley’s lead to one.

“We made a few errors and they took advantage of them, but we bounced back very well,” Stilly Valley assistant coach Bob Bergley said. “Everett is a very good hitting team, but our pitching was solid.”

Stilly Valley answered back with six singles that led to eight runs. Dillon Kujath led off the barrage of hits with a single. Skyler Klein followed with a hit to right field scoring Kujath from first base. Midway through the line-up Stilly Valley got four consecutive hits

by Earnheart, Sheward, Bergley and Taylor Baker, all scoring runs. Three South Everett errors contributed to two more Stilly Valley runs.

“We hit the ball and swing our bats with great pride,” Wes Sheward said. “We know we have an above average offense from top to bottom of our lineup. And we couldn’t be more pleased with our pitching.”

Bergley earned the victory and struck out eight South Everett batters. Earnheart and Sheward combined for four hits and four RBI’s.

Ryan Walker begins his sophomore year at Arlington High School in the fall and plans to focus on his high school baseball career. Last season he was called up a few times to Arlington High School’s varsity squad, a rare move according to Mark Walker.

“They just don’t call up freshmen,” Mark Walker said. “But Ryan played very

well. He scored a few times and pitched really well.”

For now, however, Walker has one thing on his mind, help lead Stilly Valley through the district and state tournaments.

“I am confident we can move on,” he said. “Our team has been together for some time and we have great chemistry. I think we can easily take state this year.”

Arlington firefighters Kiwanis auction raises funds for scholarships host breakfast

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — For 79-year-old Marvin Simpson, the Arlington Firefighters’ Pancake Breakfast means much more than syrup and strawberries.

Nearly 20 years ago, Simpson received news that would shatter anybody. He was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The doctors gave him a year to live — at best.

But here he sat, enjoying a stack of flapjacks laughing with son Art Simpson and grandchildren Aubrey, 12, and 15-year-old Lori.

“I will always remember that day when we found out about dad,” said Art Simpson, who was visiting from Los Angeles. “We are blessed to be with him. I look around here and there are so many families, it’s an

awesome sight and we are thrilled to be a part of it.”

The Simpson’s wasn’t the only family enjoying the event, held Monday, July 4, at Haller Park.

Despite a pancake line that extended nearly hundred yards, family, friends and strangers gathered to help raise money for the Arlington Firefighters’ Association.

“This is a great occasion and the crowd here today is fabulous,” Fire District 21 Chief Rick Isler said. “This has been a complete collaboration between family, friends and a lot of other volunteers. It’s a testament to our community.”

Volunteers started showing up at 5 a.m., mixing close to 200 pounds of pancake mix. But you can’t have pancakes without sausage, eggs and strawberries. There were

“This is a great occasion and the crowd here today is fabulous.”

Chief Rick Isler Fire District 21 two pancake and sausage stations, a strawberry station and a coffee stand. The event started at 7 a.m., and the volunteers worked until at least 11:30 a.m. Last year, they served 1,000 dishes and earned more than $5,000.

“We’ve been doing this for 26 or 28 years,” Isler said.

“And each year it gets better.

The volunteers work so hard, they are the ones who make this run. In fact, I am not the chief around here. They’re my chief.”

ARLINGTON — Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson never saw it coming. And when she did, she was nearly speechless.

The Arlington Kiwanis dedicated a scholarship in her name during its live auction Monday, July 4, at Haller Field.

The $2,000 scholarship will go toward students at Arlington High School. Larson also received a United States flag given to her by Congressman Rick Larsen.

“I had no idea about any of this,” said Mayor Margaret Larson. “The scholarship is an amazing contribution that we can make for our children. This is a unique community. We are close to everyone and you can tell that by just looking around. This is an amazing turnout and the weather couldn’t be better.”

Once the live auction started, a crowd of nearly 70 people jumped in with their white bidding paddles, looking to snag just about anything. After all, the proceeds will go toward education programs throughout the Arlington School District.

“I am not looking for a bargain,” Snohomish County resident Liz Graham said. “I am a retired teacher so I know the importance of raising money for our children. I brought my checkbook so I am ready to spend some money.”

A wind glider went for $400 and four tickets to a Seattle Mariners’ game, including a parking pass went for just $125. Other items for bid included a trip to Lake Chelan, Ellensberg and greens fees for Gleneagle and Kayak golf courses.

“You can’t go to an auction and not bid for a round of golf,” Buddy Sherman said.

“I got out bid, but that’s okay I am going to play tomorrow anyway.”

Marysville United Methodist Church will be welcoming a new pastor to serve our church and community. Bishop Grant Hagiya has appointed Dr. Gloria Kymn effective July 1, 2011.

Pastor Gloria will deliver her first worship service on July 10th.

Pastor Gloria Kymn is not new to the area. She has served at neighboring United Methodist churches in Everett and Shoreline. As such, it is possible some of you have witnessed her ministry. Gloria was born in Seoul, Korea and at the age of 18 her family moved to the United States. She has a Master’s degree in Divinity and a Doctorate in Ministerial Leadership. We await her arrival with anticipation and welcome any member from our community to our church to experience Marysville UMC or to meet our new Pastor; come join us.
