ARLINGTON — While the skies might have turned slightly gray and rainy over the Arlington Municipal Airport by the next day, the first day of this year’s Arlington Fly-In treated thousands of children to aviation-themed fun in the hot summer sun.

The traditional opening day Wednesday “Kids Day” on July 6 drew even more attendees than Arlington FlyIn Executive Director Barbara Tolbert could keep track of exactly.

“We had 1,800 reservations for Kids Day, but we surpassed that number,” Tolbert said. “The airplane simulators and the Arlington High School Robotics Club were our biggest hits that first day.

The first day’s attendance overall looks like it was up from last year, which makes sense with the stellar weather we had that day.”

Glenn Frable, a mentor for the Robotics Club, helped younger aspiring pilots climb into the sized-down cockpits of the simulators, which the Fly-In had originally acquired from the Museum of Flight.

“When they grab hold of the controls,

ARLINGTON — “We’ve been at a standstill,” said Koran Andrews, CEO of the Stillaguamish Tribal Enterprise Corporation. “But this is the first of many new programs by the Tribe, and we’re not stopping here.”

Andrews then presented golden shovels to more than half a dozen

Stillaguamish Tribal elders on July 6, to break ground on a planned gas station at the Angel of the Winds Casino.

“I don’t think my grandparents anticipated that we would have come so far,” Andrews said in the southeast corner of the casino’s parking lot, where the gas station will be built. “I’m so excited to have SEE TRIBE, PAGE 2

TRIBE FROM PAGE 1 been part of the team that’s accomplished this. It’s an expression of our sovereignty as a tribe, but it also allows us to serve the community.”

Travis O’Neil, general manager of the Angel of the Winds Casino, agreed that the gas station will allow the casino to extend another avenue of hospitality toward its guests, and praised Korsmo Construction as having been selected after careful consideration.

“With the price of fuel being top of mind for everyone, we will offer a competitively priced product and add another amenity to our property,” O’Neil said.

John Korsmo, president of Korsmo Construction, explained to attendees of

the July 6 groundbreaking that their construction workers would begin digging the 16-foot-deep hole for the gas station’s two fuel tanks on July 11, and would continue working on the site every day until the gas station’s projected opening during the first few weeks of October.

“We’ll have four dispensers, so a total of eight pumps, under a covered canopy that will have the same look as the casino,” said Korsmo, who added that the gas station will provide unleaded, midand high-grade gas, as well as diesel.

Eric Larsen, director of marketing and house services for the casino, noted that talks on this gas station began in earnest close to nine months ago, which Andrews cited as evidence of the deliberation with

which all parties proceeded.

“We pulled in folks from Natural Resources and Accounting and other departments,” Andrews said. “We made sure to study all the impacts before going ahead.”

According to Wayne Knoll, director of Korsmo’s Small Projects Division, this gas station will offer a new service feature that will give casino players even more of an incentive to stop by Angel of the Winds.

“There will be various rounds of discounting incorporated into fueling for players,” Knoll said.

“In collaboration with the casino, the gas station’s software will interface with their rewards program. If you put your card into the dispenser, you’ll be able to pay with the points you’ve accumulated.”

FLY-IN FROM PAGE 1 and we teach them about the pitch and yaw of real planes, it can be a defining moment in these kids’ lives,” Frable said. “Who knows? One of these kids might be the first person to land on Mars,” he laughed.

AHS Robotics Club seniors Kelly Roberts and Justin Haynes alternated between helping out with the simulators and guiding kids through the operation of the club’s entry into this year’s FIRST Robotics Competition, which was designed to hang inflatable shapes on a series of hooks.

“It’s been pretty cool,” Roberts said. “The kids have been really happy, and it’s fun to see the smiles on their faces.”

“If they get interested enough, maybe they’ll remember it and come back,” Haynes said. “Maybe they’ll still want to go flying when they’re in high school.”

Monty Stone has been bringing his granddaughter Mandy, aged 6, to the FlyIn since she was 3 years old, and while she was familiar with robotics thanks to an older cousin, the aircraft

simulators were new to her.

“It was kind of scary going up,” Mandy Stone said, before laughing, “Granddad wanted me to go all the way up.”

Arlington’s Abigail Palmer, 11, was likewise introduced to the Robotics Club before the Fly-In, when they’d visited her former school of Presidents Elementary. While the simulator was a bit cramped for her, she still enjoyed coming out to the Arlington Airport to watch pilots fly their maneuvers.

Smokey Point residents Michael and Rose Noonan got a chance to take to the skies for real that afternoon, as soon as Mike Carpentiero arrived in his 1929 biplane.

Neither 9-year-old Rose nor her dad had ever flown in a plane with an openair cockpit before, but they responded very differently to the experience.

“It’s definitely not my last time,” said Michael Noonan, after he and his daughter flew over Arlington for 15 minutes. “She saw her house from the sky. I loved those negative-Gs he put us into, like riding a roller coaster, but I think she was a little scared of the whoopde-doos,” he laughed.

“It was kind of good,” said Rose Noonan, who

Quil Ceda 360-716-2940 I-5 Exit 200 Marysville

had previously been interested enough in flying to try out online flight simulators. When asked if her biplane flight had increased or decreased that interest in becoming a pilot, she said, “Decreased,” before adding, “I’m just kidding.”

Rose Noonan did express enthusiasm for the view that she enjoyed, and thanked her pilot for the experience.

“There’s a lot to like about coming back to the Fly-In each year to do these flights,” said Carpentiero, who quit a high-paying commercial piloting job to fly his biplane. “There are so many kids and grownups who have never flown in a plane before, so it’s extra-special to take them up in a vintage machine like this. It’s keeping it real, old-school style.”

As of July 7, Tolbert was anxiously awaiting the debut of the Fly-In’s firstever carnival that evening, as well as the arrival of the B-25 Mitchell “Maid in the Shade” World War II bomber on July 8.

“It takes the support of so many organizations for an event like the Fly-In to come together, from the city, police and fire departments to the FAA,” Tolbert said. “I love working with them all.”

Cats that survived tornado land in Arlington

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Municipal Airport received some precious (and furry) cargo on July 1.

More than 50 cats and kittens from the tornadoravaged city of Joplin, Mo., were collected by representatives of the Northwest Organization for Animal Help in Stanwood and the Progressive Animal Welfare Society in Lynnwood, after receiving their initial examination on the tarmac.

Sue Clement, senior web director of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Seattle, explained that she’d spent the past month in Joplin. Of the roughly 1,300 pets that were displaced by the May 22 tornado, she noted that nearly 500 were reunited with their owners, while the remaining 745 became the subject of a nationwide “adopt-a-thon.”

“We were thrilled that N.O.A.H. and PAWS could take in so many cats, since it’s not often that shelters can take more of them, especially with as many kitties and nursing moms as we’ve got,” said Clement, who added that the ASPCA and

the Joplin Humane Society jointly organized the trip.

Lee Lucky, the spay/neuter clinic manager for N.O.A.H., pointed out that the kittens are too young for such surgery. As such, Kelly Hill, the interim executive director of N.O.A.H., will see to it that those kittens remain in foster care until then.

“We’ve already got their foster homes all lined up,” Hill said.

Rebecca Oertel, foster care coordinator for PAWS, reported that her group had trained four new foster families, whom she deemed “my heroes,” to care for most of their own kittens.

“In the meantime, we’re doing triage on the cats tonight, until they’re fed and tucked in,” Lucky said on July 1. Lucky added that PAWS would receive two mother cats and their litters, while N.O.A.H. would receive three mother cats and their litters, as well as four other adult cats. Of the remaining kittens, 12 went to PAWS while 18 went to N.O.A.H. Because the majority of those kittens were already suffering from various stages of upper respiratory infections when they were loaded

Many of the more than 50 cats and kittens from Joplin, Mo., arrived at the Arlington Municipal Airport already suffering from various stages of upper respiratory infections, for which they had to be triaged by area veterinarians. into the Cloud Nine Rescue Flight that day, they’ll be spending quite a bit of time in the care of PAWS and N.O.A.H. veterinarians.

“They’ve been through a tragedy we can only imagine,” said Kay Joubert, director of companion animal services for PAWS, who agreed with Lucky that “the first priority

is to get [these cats] fed and healthy.”

Mark Coleman, community relations manager for PAWS, praised the ASPCA for its role in coordinating this outreach.

“It’s pretty remarkable that they were able to put this together across the country,” Coleman said. “We’re

ARLINGTON — Terrace Park is once again a hot spot for summer fun for the whole family through the month of July.

City of Arlington Recreation Coordinator Sarah Higgins explained that this year’s events and activities in the park will be a mix of new attractions and familiar favorites.

“Karaoke Nights was something that we started last year,” Higgins said. “It was a lot of fun for folks who wanted to sing in a nonthreatening environment,” she laughed.

By contrast, the Zumba Night is an entirely new feature this year.

“Our boot camp instructor is leading that one, although she won’t be doing it with her boot camp personality,” Higgins laughed.

Higgins expressed just as much enthusiasm for this year’s series of outdoor movies, as well as the “Shakespeare in the Park” performance at the end of the month.

“Last Leaf Productions has

It’s old-fashioned family fun for people who can stay out past 9 p.m.,” she laughed.

The Terrace Park Amphitheater is located at 809 Fifth St. in Arlington, and audience members are advised to bring a chair or blanket.

Aviators camp starts July 25 ARLINGTON — Out of the Blue Aviation wants the prospective pilots of the future to know that they still have openings available at the Young Aviators Summer Camp at the Arlington Municipal Airport.

Out of the Blue’s program is open to young adults aged 12-17 and offers aviation activities over the course of the next two weeks. Young aviators can choose to do one or both of those remaining weeks, with classes running from July 25-29 and Aug. 8-12.

The cost for the camp is $279 per student and includes hands-on aviation activities, a field trip and a flight lesson. There are a number of scholarships available to cover students’ admission fees, as well as a $500 prize that will be awarded to one of the camp

attendees at the end of the summer.

For more information, log onto www.outoftheblueaviation.com or call 360-4741060.

The outdoor movies take place Thursdays after dark, at approximately 9 p.m., with the Kiwanis Club of Arlington providing popcorn and water, and the following 2010 movies being shown: ■ July 14: Yogi Bear ■ July 21: Megamind ■ July 28: The Karate Kid Thursday nights at Terrace Park also mean Karaoke Nights on July 14 and 28

starting at 7 p.m., and Zumba Night on July 21 from 7:308:30 p.m., sponsored by the city of Arlington.

The city of Arlington and the Friends of the Arlington Library are jointly sponsoring the Shakespeare in the Park performance of “The Merchant of Venice” on July 30 at 6 p.m.

IN OUR VIEW

A chance to help the United Way help us

T

he United Way of Snohomish County is asking for our help to enable them to better serve our SCOTT FRANK community.

MANAGING One of the many programs they EDITOR have is their focus on youth academic achievement and they are asking for our input to help them provide the programs and support needed to ensure that their 10-year education goals can be met.

“United Way of Snohomish County is leading positive change that transforms our community and improves people’s lives. That is why we want to hear from you. Education is essential for a better life and stronger community. We believe that caring adults and supportive communities provide children and youth with the experiences and support they need in order to achieve optimal development and success in school and life. That’s why United Way is helping children enter kindergarten ready to learn, excel in school and graduate on-time. We are working in the Lake Stevens and Marysville communities to increase that number and we need your help,” according to Lynn Lewis, senior manager, education, United Way of Snohomish County.

Lewis said that in an effort to gather community input the United Way of Snohomish County has sent out approximately 6,000 surveys to homes in Marysville and Lake Stevens. She noted that approximately two-thirds, or about 4,000, of the surveys were mailed to homes in Marysville. The completed surveys need to be postmarked and returned no later than Friday, July 15.

Information gathered from the surveys, which take about 15 minutes to complete, will be used to develop future strategies and partnerships in the community that will help children enter school ready to learn, succeed in school and graduate on-time (within four years).

The United Way of Snohomish County has set forth some 10-year Academic Achievement goals to help students succeed. They focus on Literacy in English and Math, Social/Emotional Development, Parent Engagement and Community Support.

The information and insight gathered from the completed surveys will help the United Way of Snohomish County meet those goals. It’s our chance to tell them how we think they can best serve our community and we shouldn’t fail to take advantage of that opportunity.

If you’ve received a survey, take a few minutes to fill it out and send it back. You’ll be helping to ensure that the United Way of Snohomish County is best able to meet the needs of our community and improve youth academic achievement.

Are students’ buses necessarily yellow?

A

fter a quick breakfast everyone heads out. Mom and Dad to workplaces, the kids to different schools. Mom and Dad travel in separate cars. The kids mosey down the street to two school bus stops, one for secondary, one for elementary. Maybe a block farther than last year to help cut transportation costs.

Schools everywhere are struggling to meet their obligation to the public on trimmed-back budgets.

Exuberant school boards that toyed with program expansions before the bubble burst have turned grim.

Necessary cuts are met with justified howls of anguish and more bloodletting is expected before it’s over.

Schools are financed by tax revenue that continues to fall. Money derived from school bonds is based on assessed property valuations and for the first time, my latest valuation showed a drop.

Not inspecting every detail of school finance for possible savings would be as silly as the GOP’s rejection of protecting tax breaks for the ultra rich. If there’s such a thing as being on top of a bottomless problem, Marysville’s school board and administration are addressing everything in sight for savings while working to make cuts as painless as possible.

So what about bus transportation? They could cut the number of stops in the name of increased exercise for teens. Even in good times, planners tweak routes and schedules to get the biggest bang for the transportation buck so there’s little to gain there. And there’s the inflexible body of school law that prescribes schools’ responsibilities for ensuring

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

safe passage of students from home to school and back.

School transportation in Washington constitutes a vast empire. A total of 9,300 buses travel the equivalent of a trip to the moon a back each day. Many fleets are district owned and operated, like Marysville’s. Other districts have opted to privatize, contracting with Durham Transportation for equipment and drivers.

To privatize or not privatize may not be the question. A third option calls for careful analysis of evolving programs to determine if certain of a district’s transportation needs might best met by public buses. This is done elsewhere when individual students need transport to other campuses where special electives are offered.

It is fairly common for juniors and seniors from area high schools to ride CT buses to Everett Community College or the Skill Center near Paine Field. Homeschooled students taking advantage of lab classes in public schools would like the possibility of using public transport for the limited part of the day they spend on campus.

We’re faced with constriction of school transportation services at the same time Community Transit announced a 20 percent cut in services effective February 2012. With school busing and Community Transit dialing back service, plan-

ners in both systems are casting about for more affordable ways to get riders from A to B. Economists would leap to the judgment that our total transportation system suffers from specialized redundancy.

Too many systems serve the same population on the same turf.

Kids do ride city buses here and there. King County is floating a deal with Metro to market low-price passes to students. Public buses in Virginia’s Montgomery and Prince George counties haul kids to and from school. Bay City Michigan issues student passes for city buses.

Los Angeles uses Metro buses to transport students to special events and field trips.

As of 2006, students at Seattle’s Ballard and Franklin high schools began commuting via Metro with special student passes. The move that idled a number of yellow buses was anticipated to save $2 million per year. The change wasn’t without problems. Experience told that rather than students being at risk among adult riders, adults are often offended by teenagers’ language and behavior.

The L.A. example is quite creative. It reserves a.m. and p.m. hours for commuters, using slack hours to move kids to special school events. Following that model, planners might seek out opportunities to cut deals with CT that would put needed revenue in CT coffers while trimming a bit from school district expenses. Would it work? One can’t know until opportunities for cooperation are defined and the right questions asked.

What diversity, arts and attractive cityscape have in common

W

hen I took office as Mayor last summer, I kept focused on our long-term priorities of economic development to create a regional manufacturing and light industry job center, delivery of highcaliber public safety services and improving transportation infrastructure within the limits of available funding.

At the same time, I had three community initiatives in mind for some time that I wanted to get off the ground in my first year, aspects that are important to the identity of a city our size: diversity and inclusiveness, the arts, and clean streets and neighborhoods.

What makes these initiatives unique is that in each case citizens were the catalyst for taking them from a conceptual idea to meeting room tables where local community and business leaders are defining how these initiatives will benefit Marysville. These initiatives are citizen-generated from the “bottom up,” grassroots level rather than from the too often used “top down” approach where government dictates the terms.

These initiatives are low in cost but high in value they will bring through enhancing

Here is a look at the initiatives in more detail: Diversity As the layer of government closest to its citizens, it is important that the city identify and prioritize issues concerning diversity and inclusion to ensure that the diverse character of our city is represented in decisionmaking processes. That is the purpose behind the Mayor’s Diversity Advisory Committee created last November, with thanks in part to community member Marvetta Toler, who now serves on the Committee and City’s Planning Commission.

The 20-member Committee is well on its way to developing an initial two-year work plan that will outline the goals and expectations of the Committee for the years 2012-2013. The

work plan serves as a set of priorities, goals and recommendations for increasing cultural and physical diversity in our community, and keeping the dialogue on diversity and inclusiveness issues going strong, with actions intended to meet these goals.

Areas where Committee members are focusing attention include: education, government, business/workforce, outreach and engagement, arts and culture, partnerships with community stakeholders, law and justice, and children and families.

The Committee hopes to reveal the work plan in November 2011. The experience and wisdom gained from this first plan will lay the foundation for how Marysville evolves as a community that recognizes that cultural understanding, mutual respect and inclusivity are important social and economic assets. Concrete successes in support of diversity and inclusiveness that yield measurable results will be recognized and acknowledged.

Our vision is to help Marysville become a welcoming and inclusive community that takes pride in our diversity, taking meaningful steps

people becomes essential. A part of this evolution should be a degree of cooperation between bus fleets that benefits both.

It would be a thorny issue to sort out and any savings would constitute a small bit of the shortfall. And there is a mishmash of Washington State RCWs, federal law and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction policy to deal with. Further,

to create a sense of belonging and achieving equality of opportunities for all residents.

Arts and culture The arts are an essential part of any great city. They are important to Marysville’s culture and our economy. I am an advocate for the arts, and Marysville has plenty of talented people and groups from all forms of movement and visual arts who bring creative energy to our community.

Through the persistence of community members who share this same belief, an Arts Coalition formed and began meeting last April. This is not a committee established through city ordinance; the group is community-based and committed to bringing the arts into Marysville. While the city does not have the available resources such as funding and staff support to put behind the Coalition, I have offered technical assistance from city staff and guidance on issues such as grant writing and grant resources, facilities, in addition to a willingness to assist the Coalition with bringing to the table potential sponsors, arts benefactors and key community stakeholders.

The Coalition is currently meeting monthly. It got a huge

it might be seen as a threat to the school transportation department.

Whatever the problems, count on this climate of change and economy to drive budget issues from where they stand to a different reality as planners think outside the box.

boost in inspiration when a group of educators and others working within the Marysville School District who were embarked on a similar mission began attending the meetings.

It is my hope that the Coalition will achieve some short-term successes to gain credibility and momentum, while devising long-term plans to develop a more visible arts culture in our community that gives artisans a place to innovate and increases access for all ages to tap their own creativity.

Neighborhood enhancement and curb appeal You may have noticed that Marysville Public Works Department crews in recent weeks have been painting and striping roadways, putting some luster back into city gateways and rights-of-way at levels not seen in a decade and encouraging Adopt-a-Street litter control pickups, while other departments are turning the heat up on graffiti activity. City employees care about curb appeal and a more attractive cityscape. They take pride in their work, and the message it sends to citizens.

We want to recognize people who take that same pride in cleanliness, appeal and livability where they live or work. Their efforts reflect well on the community, and could inspire others to do the same.

This idea grew in part out of conversations I had with longtime Marysville resident Cheryl Deckard, who was growing more disillusioned by the general lack of cleanliness around her hometown.

In that light, I am creating a neighborhood enhancement award program that would recognize a homeowner and block or neighborhood for visual attractiveness and landscaping improvements, as well as a business award for street-side appeal.

These annual awards by category — individual, block/ neighborhood and business — would be chosen annually from a group of nominees, recognized at a City Council meeting, and presented with a special, engraved yard marker honoring their naming as a recipient.

If you have ideas and comments about the neighborhood award program, I invite you to attend my next Coffee Klatsch from 10-11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 14 in the Ken Baxter Community Center, 514 Delta Ave. These gatherings are generally informal sessions where topics are steered by questions from residents. This time, I have set aside a block of time to hear your thoughts on the neighborhood enhancement award program. You can also contact me at mayor@marysvillewa.gov or 360-363-8091.

Rotary presents Paul Harris Fellowship Awards

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Rotary Club of Marysville not only installed its new officers for the year on June 29, but also honored several community members with the Rotary’s highest recognition, the Paul Harris Fellowship Awards.

The awards are named for the founder of Rotary International and are intended to honor those who exemplify the Rotary motto of “service above self.”

Incoming International Foundation Director Terry Brandon and Sergeantat-Arms Brent Castano received plaques and pins for their first Paul Harris Fellowship Awards for donating $1,000 each to the Rotary Foundation. Steve Ahmann, David Edmonds, incoming President Chris Nation and Dr. Larry Nyland then received pins again for their second Paul Harris Fellowship Awards for donating $2,000 each to the Rotary Foundation.

Incoming Vice President Daryn Bundy presented Bob Banks with a Paul Harris Fellowship Award not only

Katie Edmonds presented an award to her mom, Sheri, for raising Katie and her five older brothers.

“We recognize public acts of service all the time, which are wonderful acts, but what we do in private life is just as important and meaningful,” said Katie Edmonds, who leaves her mom and dad for college in the fall. “The val-

“He filled in so many times when no one else could.”

Lewis shines in classroom, on dance floor

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School graduate Ryann Lewis has danced onboard the USS Intrepid, she’s twirled in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and she’s a mentor to young girls in the community. She also carried a 3.87 grade-point average throughout high school.

It’s no wonder she received a Boeing Employees Credit Union academic scholarship. BECU received over 600 submissions and selected just 40 high school seniors for its $2,500 scholarship. In the fall, the 18-year-old will begin her freshman year at Western Washington University.

“I didn’t realize that I was selected out of so many people,” said a surprised Lewis. “That makes this all that much more special.

I am very proud of this honor.”

In order to receive the scholarship, Lewis had to submit the number of hours and the types of community service she performed.

She also had to provide her high school transcripts, a letter of recommendation and write an essay describing her most meaningful community service experience.

“I didn’t realize I was selected out of so many people. That makes this all that much more special.”

Ryann Lewis BECU scholarship recipient “It was easily my involvement with the Star Energy Dance School,” Lewis said.

“I started there when I was 13. I am a senior dancer which means I help the younger girls. I was like a big sister. This year I feel like I had my most leadership responsibilities. I took that very seriously and I wanted to leave my mark on the school.”

Aside from mentoring young girls in dance, Lewis also spent time as a volunteer at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club where she was a counselor for the younger kids. The role of counselor as a high school student should come in handy considering she plans on majoring in psychology — at least that’s the direction she’s leaning. A dance major is a close second.

Her sterling grade-point average wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. As a junior and senior, she took advanced-placement chemistry, calculus and psychology.

B-plus in middle school,” Lewis said, “and I came home so mad. But yes I took some very difficult classes and I am really happy I did well in those classes. But I owe it all to my chemistry teacher Mrs. (Deanna) Vaughn. She had so much enthusiasm and you could just tell she has great love for what she does. But mostly she was so approachable and easy to talk to.”

Away from the classroom, Lewis is becoming a well-accomplished dancer.

She started when she was 3 years old and has yet to stop. Lewis and her Star Energy Dance teammates recently returned from a four-day tour in New York City. They performed for tourists and took in a few Broadway shows.

“The trip was absolutely amazing,” Lewis said. “The Statue of Liberty was bigger and better than I ever had thought. We had so much fun and I will always remember that trip.”

Red Rooster Route Road Rally scheduled for July 16-17

ARLINGTON — Get on the road July 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally.

A weekend celebration of local food and agriculture, the festival is an exciting opportunity for families and communities to learn about individual farms on the route, enjoy locally-grown produce and berries and get a taste of farm life. Now in its second year, the road rally is emerging as a not to be missed weekend of family fun on the farms.

The Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally is family fun at its best. Pick up a Red Rooster Route stamp card at the first farm you visit, being sure to have each farm that you visit stamp your card so that when you turn it in at the last farm you visit you will be entered for the

chance to win a two-night stay at the Medallion Hotel spa suite and dinner at the Cellar Restaurant.

Second and third prizes are unique gift baskets with a variety of items from each of the farms on the route.

New to this year’s road rally is the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum so don’t forget to stop by for a stamp on your card.

All four farms on the Red Rooster Route participate in the festival and include Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm, Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze, Biringer Farm and Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery.

Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm will be lit up with perennial and summer flowers. Walk the fields and cut-flower gardens and inquire about bouquetmaking lessons.

Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze will offer a spread of local berries, peaches, pears, plums and cherries. Stop by for their famous berry or mocha shake while the kids enjoy the animal farm and

hay maze.

Biringer Farm at Arlington brings out its jolly trolley ride to the raspberry fields for families to enjoy U-pick opportunities or cheat and just indulge in their raspberry shortcake with milehigh whipped cream.

At Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery kids will love picking the plump, juicy berries, romping on the playground and feeding the farm’s goats and ducks.

Pick up a balloon character from their balloon artist and jump on for a wagon ride (noon to 3 p.m.) followed by a picnic lunch at their picnic areas, if you remembered to bring one, “The farms on the Red Rooster Route are excited for this year’s upcoming Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally,” said Jamie Flint, co-owner of Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery in Arlington. “Last year customers were thrilled at all of the opportunities on the route including picking berries and flowers, meeting local farmers and feeding

the animals, not to mention the farm tours, delicious farm treats and wagon rides at many of the farms. We hope to see many families back again this year.”

This third year of the annual Red Rooster Route will also host a variety of upcoming spring and summer festivals including the Blueberry Festival on July 30 at Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery, the Corn Festival during labor day weekend on Sept. 3 and 4 at Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm and Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze, the Fall Pumpkin and Corn Maze Festival Oct. 1 - 31 at Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze and Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm.

A self-guided tour through the greater Arlington area, the Red Rooster Route is rich with pastoral views and plenty of recreational and U-pick opportunities.

Stilly Valley Minors shine at All-Star tourney

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Jack Sheward struck out 10 of the 13 batters he faced to help the Stilly Valley Minors All-Star team defeat North Snohomish 11-1 in the second round of the District 1 All-Star tournament Tuesday, July 5, played at Cedar Field.

“Our pitching was so good tonight. I am really proud of these guys,” Stilly Valley coach Rick Bishop said. “We were able to handle their top hitters and we kept them off the bases. We walked a few batters but it was overall a good game for us.”

So good, in fact, that three Stilly Valley pitchers combined to throw a no-hitter. Sheward struck out the first batter he saw in the first inning and then capped off his night by striking out the final two batters. He had at least two strikeouts in each of his 3 2/3 inningspitched.

Joey Groves struck out two batters and Owen Bishop, who pitched the final inning, struck out one.

“Jack is a great pitcher,” Rick Bishop said. “He has the ability to get ahead of the batters and then he does a great job putting them down. But it was a team effort. We had three total pitchers and they all did a tremendous job tonight.”

Stilly Valley’s offense wasted little time scoring runs. With one out, it took advantage of three consecutive hits.

Owen Bishop hit a single to right field and Sheward drove a hit over the right-fielder’s glove. Groves followed with a two-run double to score Bishop and Sheward as Stilly Valley took a 2-0 lead. Groves scored from third base two batters later when the Panthers’ catcher Taylon Lopez overthrew pitcher Trevor Fischer.

After reaching base a few minutes later on a single, Stilly Valley’s

Cameron Smith, who stole second and third, scored on North Snohomish’s second error of the inning.

“We hit the ball well all the way through the lineup,” Rick Bishop said. “We got some breaks with their errors but we did a great job at the plate.”

Groves and Smith led Stilly Valley combining for six hits and four RBIs. Glen Hester helped Stilly Valley add to its lead in the third inning.

After hits by Smith and Gerit Beberry, Hester drove them home to give Stilly Valley a 6-0 lead. The Panthers scored their lone run in the fifth inning. Stilly Valley tacked on three runs in the fourth and two runs in the fifth inning. Stilly Valley, which randomly drew a first-round bye, advanced to the third round and played Mill Creek.

The game took place Saturday, July 9, after press time. For results, visit www.arlingtontimes.com.

Coed softball league kicks off season

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

Krosswalk Krew’s Doris Young hits a ground ball during a coed softball game Wednesday, July 6, at Twin Rivers Park.

ARLINGTON – It’s a Wednesday evening, the sun is reflecting off a row of aluminum bats and a raucous crowd of players are cheering on their fellow teammates. It must be the annual summer softball league.

The Arlington Coed Recreation Softball League kicked off its season at Twin Rivers Park with four games on July 6. And there was no shortage of fans or excitement. The underhand, slow-pitch format allowed for an expected hit-fest. In fact, you could hear the lime-green softballs coming off bats almost constantly on the two fields at Twin Rivers. The eight-team league plays each Wednesday for seven weeks.

Games begin at 6 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.

“There can only be eight teams in the league,” Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Higgins said. “So at 9 a.m. on registration day the first eight teams to call got in. It’s first come, first served. And believe me, they started calling right at nine. To be fair to everyone I sent all the calls to voice mail and the first eight teams were registered.”

Unlike most sports, players don’t place a high price on the competitive side of the sport. It’s all about having fun. Overall team records are seemingly for bragging rights only. Teams aren’t eye-balling the playoffs or a league title.

The reason is because there are no play-

offs or trophies. The players get their fill after seven games, according to Higgins, who has been running the league for more than a decade.

“We play games until mid-August and then summer comes to an end. Players start to have other things to focus on,” Higgins said. “They have their fun and it’s a good time and then it’s over.”

For first-year team Krosswalk Krew, the season didn’t start off the way it would have liked. But for the Stillaguamish Tribe’s Just 4 Fun team, it set a milestone. After going winless in its first season in the league last summer, Just 4 Fun knocked off Krosswalk, 17-2.

Despite the loss, there were no frowns to be seen by the Krosswalk players.

“We are out here to have fun and tonight was a blast,” Krosswalk coach Chris Kuehl said. “There’s no competition factor out here. If we want a trophy we will go out and buy one.”

The sentiment is shared by both teams. “Our name says it all,” Just 4 Fun coach Coey Gilleland said. “It’s nice to get our first win after losing all our games last season, but we are out here to laugh and have fun. And regardless of how this game could’ve turned out we would have still had fun.”

In the other games, Andrews Hay defeated Country Charm 12-2, Whitehorse edged Sticks n Chicks 12-10, and Woodinville Wine beat Cascade Valley Hospital 17-5.

Tips name Ferner coach

BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips Hockey Club named Mark Ferner as head coach Wednesday, July 6.

Everett has been without a coach since June after former coach Craig Hartsburgh stepped down to become the associate head coach of the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames.

Ferner becomes the Tips’ fourth head coach in team history.

Ferner left his position with British Columbia Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers on Tuesday, July 5.

His presence there is sure to be missed. In four years as head coach Ferner directed the Vipers to three league titles and two junior A Canadian national championships. While in Vernon he recorded 165 victories and lost 51. In 2009 and 2010 he led the Vipers to a Royal Bank Cup victory.

Last season, the Vipers finished second.

Ferner, 45, has partici-

“He brings with him impressive credentials of winning hockey games and developing players and we all look forward to working with him in the upcoming year.”

Doug Soetaert Everett Silvertips Vice President and General Manager pated in 98 post-season games over his coaching career.

“It’s a true honor to be named head coach of the Everett Silvertips,” Ferner said. “I’ve been a fan of this organization since they came into the league. This is a successful team with stable ownership and fans who are second to none.”

Ferner has been involved with professional hockey for the past 16 years. He held coaching positions with the Buffalo Sabres, Washington Capitals, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the Detroit Red Wings.

“We’re very happy to have Mark join our organization as head coach,” said

Silvertips Vice President and General Manager Doug Soetaert during the press conference. “He brings with him impressive credentials of winning hockey games and developing players and we all look forward to working with him in the upcoming year.”

As a player, Ferner was originally drafted by Buffalo in the 10th round of the 1983 NHL draft. He spent three seasons playing in the Western Hockey League with Kamloops Jr. Oilers and Blazers. His first regular-season test comes when the Silvertips host Kelowna Rockets at 7:05 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, at Everett’s Comcast Arena.

Libraries hire communication director

After a nationwide search the Sno-Isle Libraries are pleased to announce that they’ve found their new communications director right in their own backyard of Snohomish County.

Kenneth Harvey started work as Sno-Isle’s communications director last month, with his most recent previous position being the marketing and communications director for Community Transit in Everett.

Harvey’s other relevant career experience includes

roles in communications and marketing in public, private and non-profit organizations, including Sound Transit and the Tacoma Public Library.

“I’m so interested in libraries, with my previous library experience,” Harvey said. “I’ve been working hard for more than 30 years to help organizations enhance the ways in which they communicate with their customers.”

As their communications director, Harvey will over-

see the Sno-Isle Libraries’ internal and external communications, marketing and graphics, and relationships with community partners such as the Friends of the Library groups, volunteers and the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation.

“I want to continue to build awareness of the benefits that the Snow-Isle Libraries offer their customers,” Harvey said. “Ignorance is not bliss. If our library patrons aren’t aware of these services, they can’t take

advantage of them.”

Harvey will also lead continuing work on Sno-Isle’s 2008-2013 Strategic Plan.

“I want to continue the really great work that’s already being done here, and take it to the next level,” Harvey said. “We need to be innovative to meet the diverse needs of our communities.”

Harvey hopes not only to raise awareness about the Sno-Isle Libraries, but also build further bridges between the libraries and their local governments and community organizations.

He also believes there are “a million and one stories to tell” about those who use Sno-Isle’s services.

“I can hardly describe my excitement about being part of the Sno-Isle Libraries and returning to the world of public libraries,” Harvey

remarked. “I’m thrilled to join this organization as it works to provide relevant services to the residents and businesses within our region.”

Harvey earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio and TV Management, with a Business Marketing minor, from Eastern Washington University. He’s served as a public speaker, trainer and coach across the country.

The Sno-Isle Marysville Library is located at 6120 Grove St. and is open Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m, Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. The Sno-Isle Arlington Library is located at 135 N.

Chamber presents leadership awards

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce presented its fourth annual Business and Community Leadership Awards for 2011 at the Tulalip Resort Casino on June 24, to celebrate the accomplishments of local companies and individuals who have been judged to epitomize the spirit of leadership, excellent business practices and community involvement.

Tim King was named “Volunteer of the Year” for his contributions to the Chamber and the Marysville and Tulalip communities.

King has served as a volunteer for the Chamber and its Regional Visitor Information Center since 2003. A charter member of the Mountain View Presbyterian Church, he’s also served as vice president of the Chamber and as a volunteer firefighter for the Getchell Fire Department, the latter from 1960-1989.

He and his wife Jeannine each donate more than 70 hours a month to helping the Washington State Parks program.

“I want to thank my wife for putting up with my volunteer time,” Tim King laughed. “She believes in what I do.”

John Soriano was named “Elected Official of the Year” for his commitment to the Chamber, its businesses and the local community, as well as for improving the business climate and encouraging economic development.

Soriano’s first election to the Marysville City Council in 1999 made him the first Asian-American to serve on the Council. He was re-elected in 2003 and 2007, running unopposed both times, giving him a three-term run that makes him the longest continuously-serving member on the Council. He’s chosen not to run for re-election at the end of his current term in order to spend more time with his family, but he remains committed to the Marysville community.

“This helps me believe that perhaps the things we do as elected officials can benefit the business community,” Soriano said. “It’s good for elected officials to learn more about our businesses, which the Chamber

has allowed me to do.”

Lorraine and Ken Anderson were named “Business Leaders of the Year” for demonstrating leadership on local business and community issues.

The Andersons are coowners of G.A. Maxwell’s Restaurant, for which they purchased property in 1978, back when Marysville had a population of only 5,000.

Construction on what’s now G.A. Maxwell’s began in 1987 and was completed in 1989.

In the 22 years since, the Andersons have employed more than 10,000 people.

They’ve also helped fund uniform purchases for local cheerleaders, little league teams and bowling leagues, in addition to donating to local churches’ soup kitchens.

“We appreciate what you’ve done for us,” said Lorraine Anderson, who accepted the award on behalf of herself and Ken. Marysville Floral was named “Business of the Year” for its customer and community services, as well as its corporate citizenship, business growth and innovative techniques.

Current co-owners Janna Mitchell and Nicole Walker started out as part-time delivery drivers for Linda Hartley, who founded Marysville Floral in 1978 and has since passed on. Mitchell and Walker purchased Marysville Floral from Hartley in 2001.

Chamber Board Chair John Bell read testimonials from customers who praised Marysville Floral’s reliability, creativity, low prices and ability to undertake large jobs on short notice.

“We’ve been following in Linda’s footsteps,” Mitchell

said. “She laid a solid foundation, and we’ve continued her traditions.”

Janet Duffy received this year’s Millikan-Howard Chairman’s Award, named after two former Chamber Board Chairs who have since passed on, but to whose leadership Bell attributed many of the Chamber’s future successes.

Duffy has lived and worked in Snohomish County since 1976, has been licensed in real estate since 1979 and opened Windermere Real Estate in 2008. She joined

the Chamber Board in 1993 before becoming its ChairElect in 2000 and its Chair in 2001. Bell credited Duffy with overseeing much of the revitalization of Marysville’s downtown, as well as the location of the Chamber’s Visitor Information Center.

“My business partners are like family,” Duffy said.

“It feels weird standing up here without Caldie,” she added, referring to Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers, who was unable to attend.

MARYSVILLE — It’s been a banner year for Fred Teachout.

Not only were he and his girlfriend, Maybelle Hollingworth, named Windsor Square’s Senior King and Queen for this year’s Strawberry Festival on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, but on June 24 Fred was joined by dozens of members of the Teachout family at Windsor Square to celebrate his 100th birthday.

“Kissing her was the best part of this day,” Fred said of the pre-birthday cake smooch that he shared with Maybelle, who’s a younger woman than her boyfriend at the age of 92. “We’ve been together for four years and she’s kept me young.”

Although Fred had just recently returned from a stay in the hospital due to a depressed fracture in his lower vertebrae, he was all smiles as he greeted the three generations of his family that have followed in his wake.

“We’re thrilled that Fred

Fred Teachout blows out the candles for his 100th birthday cake at Windsor Square Senior Apartments on June 24. has reached this landmark,” C.J. Stigers, Fred’s granddaughter, said to the attendees of the centennial birthday party. “We want to thank Windsor Square for the great care they’ve provided to him, and Maybelle for keeping him in line,” she laughed.

Fred was already a resident of the Windsor Square Senior Apartments when Maybelle first moved there

in 2007, and according to Maybelle’s son, Dave Hollingworth, the two took to each other right away.

“Mom had divorced and never remarried, so she and Fred just hit it off,” Dave Hollingworth said. “She’s as happy as I’ve ever seen her.”

“I hope you’ll all be here next year for my 101st birthday party,” Fred said, drawing applause from the crowd.

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.

TAX SERVICES Q: This year my husband and I started the adoption process for a new baby girl. Will we be able to deduct the expenses on our tax return?

A: If the child is a U.S. citizen or resident, you may deduct the qualified adoption expenses in the year after they were paid which would be on your 2012 tax return.

These expenses may be claimed regardless of the adoption being finalized. If the child is not a U.S. citizen or resident, you may not deduct the expenses unless the adoption becomes final. Qualified expenses include adoption fees, attorney fees, court costs, and travel expenses. Please call our office if you have additional questions.
