ARLINGTON — The Trafton School has been closed for more than a year, but the members of the Oso Community Chapel have no intention of letting the historic building go to waste.

On Sept. 24, more than a dozen parishioners arrived early on a Saturday morning, armed with tools ranging from brooms and vacuum cleaners to a weed-whacker, to spruce up the old building as the first step toward establishing it as the site for a non-profit community program called “HighPoint.”

“We’re just barely getting going yet,” said Gary Ray, pastor of the Oso Community Chapel, as his family joined a few others in clearing out the dust and rubbish to make the school building’s rooms clean and safe for new occupants. “We hope to open our doors to the public by mid-October, although we’ll still be starting small.”

Although it’s not associated with the YMCA, HighPoint is modeled after the YMCA in its aim to network a number of area resources under one roof, including SEE HIGHPOINT, PAGE 2

Tire tracks mar Olympic Avenue

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Motorists and pedestrians passing through downtown Arlington have probably noticed some black marks on the city’s image, literally, on Olympic Avenue since Friday, Sept. 9.

The annual Drag Strip Reunion and Car Show didn’t begin in earnest until Saturday, Sept. 10, but with a number of auto enthusiasts arriving in town the night before, the rubber met the road hard enough to leave skid-marks that have

remained visible since.

“Friday night we had some folks show up to camp out, and we had a deal where they could go to town as part of a poker run to visit area auto dealerships,” said Jake Jacobsen, the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club’s co-chair of the Drag Strip Reunion and Car Show. “It seemed like a good deal, but it obviously got out of hand.”

Jacobsen noted that this was the first year he’d heard of such an incident occurring before the annual show, and added that show orga-

nizers such as himself hadn’t expected it in part because they’d never considered the pre-show poker run to be part of their purview.

“Not all of those cars were part of our show, but regardless, this can’t be allowed to happen again,” said Jacobsen, who explained that show organizers will be meeting with Arlington city officials to discuss how to prevent a repeat incident. “We’d already printed out sheets that said that all the drivers must obey SEE OLYMPIC, PAGE 2

While auto enthusiasts left black marks behind on Olympic Avenue on Sept. 9, its crosswalks were already suffering from wear and tear at its intersection at Third and Maple streets.

According to Jacobsen, his fellow Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club members have repeatedly asked him if they could schedule a time to clean up the skidmarked streets themselves, but Jacobsen explained that cleaning Olympic Avenue in an environmentally friendly way would require resources that they don’t have.

“We can’t just let the cleaning fluid run into the gutters,” Jacobsen said.

City of Arlington Capital Projects Manager Paul Ellis

agreed with Jacobsen that such a cleanup would need to be performed with specific equipment, which is why the city is still weighing its options on how to clean it. He nonetheless complimented the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club members for approaching him to volunteer their efforts.

At the same time, the black marks on Olympic Avenue have highlighted another problem on the street.

“The rubber tracks didn’t really hurt the crosswalks, but they’re just not holding up as well as we expected in certain areas,” Ellis said of the crosswalks on the pavement, which are made of impressed thermal plastic. “When the Olympic Avenue project

was finished in 2007, it was a relatively new process so we weren’t totally sure, but we expected these crosswalks could last maybe 10 years. In some areas, that’s held true, and they should last another four or five years, but at the intersections with Third and Maple streets, they’re not holding up so well.”

Ellis attributed the shorter lifespan of those crosswalks to heavier usage wearing them out faster, to the point that the surface of the streets themselves has worn down below the level of the impressed thermal plastic.

“It’s not that the product or the installation is faulty,” Ellis said. “It’s just the additional cost of turning movements on those streets.”

HIGHPOINT FROM PAGE 1 low-cost recreation, art, music, fellowship and spiritual enrichment programs.

Among those planned programs are music for children — ranging from guitar and drum lessons to songwriting and options for choir and drama — as well as homework assistance, craft and computer classes, and specialized workshops such as gardening, money management, woodworking, home repair and first aid. The spiritual enrichment classes are set to cover both weekly fellowship times for adults and weekly youth groups and fellowship times for teens. A lending library of books, videos, DVDs and games will even be available.

“The church will handle the staffing, supplies and administrative support, as well as the insurance and licenses,” Ray said. “The Arlington School District has not only lowered the

cost of the lease, but will also be providing bus transportation to the school and maintenance workers to mow the lawn. We can use the playground and field for sports like T-ball and soccer, although obviously not for league play.”

Although none of the volunteers who spoke to The Arlington Times had attended Trafton when it was still a school, they all expressed strong feelings about keeping it alive as a place where children and adults alike could congregate.

“My grandpa and dad both went to the old Arlington High School,” said Aaron Ronning, who trimmed the overgrown weeds outside while his 9-year-old son Soren wiped down the whiteboards and 15-yearold daughter Annisa swept up the floors inside. “I live right in Jim Creek, so it’s not like I’m not going to notice this big building here,” he laughed. “It’s got a lot of history, but not a lot going on

right now, so this is a great opportunity to use a facility that’s literally a historic landmark to connect to the community.”

To that end, Ray reassured area residents that the church had no plans to alter the schoolhouse radically.

“We’re stripping some of the chipped paint, so that it won’t be a hazard to the children, but we’re not repainting the murals,” Ray said. “We’re definitely not cutting down the old tree. We understand the historic significance of these things.”

Those who are interested in learning more can swing

by Legion Park from 4-6:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 for a promotional barbecue and fellowship event. Those who might be able to donate money or items for classes, or contribute their skills as course instructors or maintenance workers, are encouraged to contact Ray by phone at 360-435-8027 or via email at TraftonCC@ gmail.com.

Tulalip Tribes hand out $5.48 million

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The Tulalip Tribes hit a new high-water mark by “raising their hands” to 300 community and non-profit groups to the tune of a record-setting $5.48 million this year.

The 18th annual “Raising Hands Celebration of Community” recognition dinner, in the Orca Ballroom of the Tulalip Resort on Sept. 24, dispensed funds to organizations both locally and throughout the state, as Tulalip Tribal Board Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. credited those in attendance with benefiting not only the Tribes, but also the broader communities beyond.

“You’ve all stepped up to the plate to try and make a better life for others,” Sheldon said. “You’re doing the best you can to make a difference.”

Sheldon was joined

by Tulalip Tribal Board Vice Chair and Business Committee Chair Glen Gobin in reflecting on how the Tribes’ own economic progress has allowed it to help others.

“This was just dirt and trees and dreams, before those dreams became a reality,” Sheldon said of Quil Ceda Village, which is expanding the Seattle Premium Outlets by an additional 100,000 square feet of retail space and has already broken ground on a Cabela’s store that’s set to open on the Tulalip Reservation next year.

“Every journey begins with a small step, and you extend goodwill and hope to those who don’t have it.”

Michele Heiderer, library director for the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society in Arlington, gushed over the $10,000-plus donation that they received from the Tribes, which will allow them to stay up-to-date with the present in order to preserve the past into the future.

“This allows us to stay open for another year,” said Heiderer, who noted that the Society is exploring its rent and housing options at the moment. “We serve 700 visitors a year, and this lets us purchase new computers that won’t crash all the time, so that we can keep track of and access the records that we have.

We are so grateful to the Tribes and the community for their support.”

“Without the Tulalip Tribes’ funding, all we’d be doing is handing out potatoes,” said Michael Brewer, director of the food bank for the Victory Foursquare Gospel Church in Marysville. “We serve about 65,000 meals a year and the Tribes account for 40 to 60 percent of our funding. I don’t know of a better way to say ‘thank you’ to them.”

The Tribes’ funds will help the church repair its delivery truck, purchase basic maintenance items that aren’t donated and help children through the

church’s “Learn & Play” program.

“Pennies for Puppies & Ponies” is based in Marysville, but it serves all of Snohomish County by providing patrol and search-and-rescue K-9s.

Like the Victory Foursquare Gospel Church, Pennies for Puppies & Ponies received funds in the range of $2,501 to $5,000 this year, which Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick noted helps cover the K-9s that are not in the budget for the Sheriff ’s Office.

“The Sheriff ’s Office badly needs a K-9 during the day,” said Carole Flynn White, president and founder of Pennies for Puppies &

Golf Cart Batteries are currently on sale

Ponies. “They have two K-9 patrols that are on all night, which is traditional, but with Snohomish County’s growth, those dogs are increasingly called out during the day, which decreases the deputies’ safety and adds up to expensive overtime.”

“In the Tulalip Tribes tradition, we raise our hands to show appreciation to the organizations that work so hard to provide services to our community,” Sheldon said. “Our efforts stem back thousands of years to the potlatch gathering, a ceremony practiced by Coast Salish and other tribal cultures in the Pacific Northwest. The word ‘pot-

That’s Right For as low as $89.95 with exchange

latch’ means ‘gift.’ At potlatch gatherings, a family or leader hosts guests, holds a feast and shares resources.”

“We’ve come through adversity,” Gobin said of the Tulalip Tribes. “We agreed to do this because we know what it’s like to need.”

Nonprofits and community groups may apply for the Tribes’ quarterly awards. For more information, visit the Tulalip Tribes’ charitable funds website at www.tulalipcares.org.

Salmon habitat is important I

’ve been talking a lot lately about the connection between salmon, habitat and treaty rights. That connection is pretty simple. No habitat equals no salmon, no salmon equals no treaty rights, and no treaty rights equals a breach of contract between the tribes and U.S. government.

It is the U.S. government — not the state of Washington — that has the responsibility to recover salmon in western Washington. It’s also up to the federal government to protect and uphold our treaty rights.

We believe that one of the best ways to do that is by coordinating federal agencies and programs designed to protect salmon and their habitat.

A good place to start is with the dikes and levees that allow construction in floodplains that really shouldn’t be developed.

They call them floodplains for a reason. When you build in a floodplain, you are going to get flooded. It’s only a question of how often and how bad the flooding will be. Dikes and levees lead to straight rivers with high-speed flows and little to no salmon habitat.

They destroy a river’s ability to spread out and move naturally along its path, which makes flooding worse, leading to even more damage.

Dikes and levees may be good for development, but they are bad for salmon habitat.

I’m not saying that all dikes and levees should be removed.

Floodplain management that is good for salmon can also be good for flood control. In fact,

BILLY FRANK JR. with the proper vegetation, levees could make a small contribution to salmon recovery.

Salmon need cool, clean water to survive. In healthy river systems, trees and shrubs along the banks help keep temperatures low. But when dikes or levees line a river, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says most of that vegetation must be cut down. The corps has started enforcing that rule all over the country.

It’s a one-size-fits-all approach that might work on the Mississippi River, but is out of place here in western Washington. Some people say the corps is simply trying to cover its bases following Hurricane Katrina, which wiped out much of New Orleans a few years ago.

Despite the huge cost of clear-cutting trees and plants on levees, there hasn’t been any kind of study to find out whether vegetation actually weakens them. In fact, many scientists believe the root systems help make levees stronger.

Meanwhile, tribes have been finding creative solutions that help protect property and restore salmon. The Nisqually SEE FRANK, PAGE 5 THE MARYSVILLE

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support Muller for Marysville City Council For 12 years I had the pleasure of sitting next to Steve Muller while he chaired the Marysville Planning Commission. How lucky we were to have a man with his integrity and well-rounded knowledge of our city. He was always prepared for the multitude of decisions that came before us. He put in countless hours on his own so he would have a grasp on the issues. He understands the city’s relationship to development as well as concern for the citizens. He is a lifelong resident with a deep love for our area.

We have the opportunity to have him seated on the Marysville City Council this fall. As residents in the Smokey Point area of Marysville my husband and I strongly urge the voters to elect Steve Muller. His ideas are fresh and well thought out.

Many of us call him Mr. Marysville.

He has earned the name by donating his time selflessly to countless boards and committees. We could not find a finer man to represent the city.

Clearing up some confusion There’s been some confusion on the part of my neighbors regarding the mayor’s race in Marysville.

While Jon Nehring is the current mayor, he is not running for reelection.

It appears rather odd that the timing of Dennis Kendall’s resigning and the city council’s appointing our current mayor has the appear-

ance of a “Backroom Deal” for the purpose of giving Jon a leg up in this race. Being retained means keeping an appointee and voiding our vote. This will be the very first time since Dennis Kendall was reelected that we voters have a say in who will be our mayor.

While I haven’t seen the current mayor, I have seen what he and his council have done to our community and I’m not very impressed.

I am also not impressed with the hand-me-down policy of Kendall and his council members.

I met Kelly Wright recently when he came to my door. We talked for the better part of three hours and he impressed me with his background.

He has worked all over the world building local governments. He also impressed me with his commonsense ideas to improve our daily lives in Marysville. I believe he will be a great leader for our city.

I won’t be voting to retain an appointed mayor. I believe it’s time for new leadership and new ideas. I hope my Marysville neighbors will join me in voting for Kelly Wright.

Contact him before you make your line on the ballot.

Rick Bleasdale Marysville

Nehring good for Marysville This letter is written in support for Marysville’s current Mayor Jon Nehring.

I have known Jon and his family for many years, we have worked in the community together, our children go to school together and we have coached our boys in baseball together. In short, he is a man who not only works hard for the

residents of the city of Marysville; he is an active resident of the city of Marysville. He knows what our children are facing in local schools; his children attend there. He understands the needs of hard-working families because he interacts with many of those parents on a personal level through the community each week.

I had the opportunity to work with Jon coaching a team for Marysville Little League. In that atmosphere we had the opportunity to work with other coaches, umpires, the league and many parents. Jon always exhibited talents of organization, tact, competitiveness, was always kind and knew how to handle every situation while carefully considering all parties concerned. These attributes are extremely important not only on the little league field but also in the field of government and the political process. It is the only way work gets done in that atmosphere.

I am a small-businessman in the city of Marysville. I have no reservations supporting Jon as our Mayor. He has shown us that he can make the difficult decisions when they need to be made. Making cuts, balancing budgets and providing a means for steady, sustainable growth for our city. I have resided in the city of Marysville for 27 years now. This town has grown up during those years and we have been fortunate so far to retain a sense of community.

Jon has shown that he knows how to maintain that atmosphere where families want to live and businesses can grow — it can be done and Jon is the man to lead Marysville into the future.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 4 Clear difference between candidates I read with interest your op-eds in The Globe recently. There is a clear difference between you in the story of the sale of the old CocaCola building. Mr. Wright points out that the city commissioned a study after the property’s purchase, and then sold the main part of the property for a considerably lesser amount than that for which it was purchased.

Mr. Nehring states that the property has been sold to Parr Lumber and that the price “recaptures the city’s purchase price for the building.” Which is it?

While I too welcome Parr Lumber to our community, the double-speak in Mayor Nehring’s account of the purchase bothers me. One question is: why weren’t the city’s actual needs considered before spending almost $4 million of the city’s (a/k/a, taxpayers’) funds? Is our city so awash in taxpayer money that we can spend four million taxpayer dollars without first determining our actual need? Mr. Nehring, could you please give a clear accounting of this purchase and sale, including how much money the taxpayers lost as a result?

As Mr. Wright predicted, I was surprised to read that the Walmart planned for the intersection of State Route 9 and Highway 528 will soon begin construction. One doesn’t have to think too hard to imagine the traffic impact. I support any new business, including Walmart, even though I live less than two miles from this planned store. No doubt there will be road construction sometime after the store’s opening and delays will be much worse due to the increased traffic. The city’s rule exempting big-box retailers from paying traffic impact fees is ridiculous. The taxpayers do not need to support this burden.

I also agree with Mr. Wright’s additional comments regarding the traffic flow in Marysville. There are some afternoons when you just can’t get out of this town in any timely manner. If we had an emergency evacuation, forget about getting out at all.

Thank you for the opportunity to read your opinions.

I do not know either of you, but after reading these, my vote is for Mr. Wright.

Linda Reeves Marysville

Is ‘Job Creation’ really just ‘Job Destruction?’

Hypocrisy is “the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one’s real character or actual behavior.”

There doesn’t seem a more clear example of exactly this when one hears Pres.

Obama’s words about “job creation” and then reads that under his administration, the EPA, in this case, will actually destroy 1.44 million jobs. So, is “job creation” just another word for “job destruction?”

Besides destroying jobs, these proposed EPA regulations will also increase the costs of electricity as much as 23 percent in some areas, average of 11.5 percent nationwide and would have a substantial impact on raising prices of natural gas as well.

This statistic is from the federal government’s own data which was discovered when an analysis was completed for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity and is the result of primarily two new regulations being proposed by the EPA. One is the “Maximum Achievable Control Technology” and the other is the “Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.”

And, the EPA’s air pollution rules may even extend to your own backyard as you “disturb” your own soil to plant a garden which may result in soil particles becoming air borne and “contaminating” something, someplace else.

So, in addition, to potentially losing your job, paying a lot more for electricity and heat, you may have the additional burden of paying high fines to the EPA for air, water, dirt, plant and finally people pollution.

Senator Maria Cantwell supports these measures as does Senator Patty Murray, but Cantwell has gone a step further by calling for the EPA to preemptively prohibit resource development in a huge area of Alaska — an area rich with copper, gold and other valuable metals.

She wants the EPA to deny the permit before it has even been applied for. If this

occurs, the precedent could potentially lock up lands throughout the U.S. So, while “job creation” is the buzz word for the moment, the truth is that this administration and our own elected officials actually prefer job destruction as evidenced by their actions.

Catherine Paxton Arlington

A closer examination In a recent editorial, I outlined the rationale for change in city leadership. My opponent, appointed to the mayoral position last year, has made some statements in response that bear closer examination.

The 156th Street overpass will be paid for entirely with tax dollars. Any ‘partnership’ extended simply to the city charging property taxes to pay for the overpass. To the extent those taxes were paid by private entities and used by the city to build the overpass, it could loosely be defined as a ‘partnership’ — though I believe most would classify it as a tax.

The only entity to not pay Local Improvement District (LID) fees to the project was Costco. As my opponent pointed out, Costco was allowed to apply a previously negotiated tax break to pay its share while other businesses ponied up the funds needed to build the overpass. Businesses like ACRO Machining INC., which employees over 50 people in Marysville, have had their property taxes increased to pay for the 156th Street overpass, even though they will see no benefit and did not get a development fee giveback like Costco received.

I also said it was important that such overpasses connect to I-5. I appreciate my opponent acknowledging this point in his response. It’s good to hear he will retroactively attempt to add freeway on-ramps. Any new overpasses will connect to I-5 from the beginning when I’m mayor.

My opponent also acknowledges the new Walmart at 64th and SR 9 is going ahead, a fact which

continues to surprise many local residents. In fact, this project seems to be the bestkept secret in Marysville.

While Mr. Nehring recounted the minimal fees Walmart has paid, he did not deny they will benefit from a new city ordinance giving bigbox retailers a 50 percent exemption on traffic mitigation fees. The Walmart project had been on hold since 2007. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that Walmart applied for new permits just days after the new ordinance became law. The fact remains that this property should never have been zoned for commercial use. SR 9 and 64th are simply not prepared to handle the traffic impacts from our area’s planned third Walmart.

The former Coca-Cola bottling plant was purchased for $3.75 million in taxpayer funds, with a vague plan to build some sort of government campus on the land.

The property’s assessed market value was $3.3 million at the time of sale and its value continues to fall. As my opponent acknowledges, plans fell through and the city sold off some of the land to Parr Lumber for $2.3 million. The 2012 valuation of the total 10.2 acre parcel of land is $2,014,200 with the building valued at an additional $864,800. At that rate, each acre is worth about $200,000,

Record floods hit region

Subhed here

FRANK FROM PAGE 4 Tribe has spent the last few years building logjams on the Mashel River, a vital salmon tributary to the Nisqually. The logjams replaced a levee made of riprap and are doing an excellent job of protecting two city parks and a home.

The old riprap levee made flooding worse by increasing the speed of the river. Now, the river moves more slowly and is a much friendlier place for salmon and people. The tribe and community volunteers have planted hundreds of trees and shrubs along and on top of the logjams, providing important shade for salmon in the Mashel.

Salmon recovery is not easy. It never has been.

Unfortunately some federal agencies and programs make it harder than it needs to be. It’s sad that salmon habitat in our rivers has declined to the point that levee vegetation is something to fight about, but we have to do everything we can to protect what little habitat we have left.

but the mayor wants you to believe that 2.8 acres is worth $800,000. The most disingenuous thing that the mayor said in his response was that the city “also has a purchase agreement for Parcel 2.” Parr has an option to purchase more of the property later.

Parr Lumber may or may not exercise that option sometime in the next six years.

The city paid over $450,000 too much for the property in 2010. After the initial sale to Parr, the city is still $1.45 million in the red no matter how you spin it.

Finally, at no time did I claim the city paid for a consultant to explore impacts of a new Whatcom County coal terminal. I said the city relied on a consultant’s report, a fact which my opponent confirmed in his response. I also said we didn’t need a consultant to tell us that nearly doubling the amount of train traffic would have negative impacts on Marysville commutes. In any case, the point isn’t about the consultant.

The point is we need to find efficient ways of getting us over the tracks, and that’s why I am committed to securing funds for overpasses connecting to I-5. That’s just common sense — no consultant needed.

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion.

Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isn’t that the whole point of religion? Let’s talk about it. 360-939-2080

Eagles outgun Tommies for 45-28 victory

BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — It was feast or famine for the Eagles so it’s a good thing there were plenty of yards to go around.

In a matchup that will go far in determining the Wesco North champion this season, Arlington simply had more big plays and came away with a 45-28 win over MarysvillePilchuck Sept. 23.

“We would either look terrible or look awesome on offense,” said Arlington coach Greg Dailer, whose Eagle offense piled up 448 total yards. “Fortunately we got more of those big plays and settled down a little.”

Of course, in a game where the score was 14-7 inside the first three minutes, the fans in the nearly packed stands at Quil Ceda Stadium must have had a few cramps in their necks from watching the ball go so quickly from one side of the field to the other with both teams combining for 15 plays of 20 yards or more.

With offense clicking so well in the first half, it was Arlington’s defense that earned 27-14 lead at halftime.

A 72-yard fumble return for a touchdown by junior Nathan Kehler and a key touchdownsaving pass breakup by Jayden Jira made the difference early on.

Offensively, the Eagles got the Tommies out of their comfort zone in the first half by sending quarterback Blake McPherson outside the pocket with time to throw. The result was touchdown passes on both of their first two drives (Skylor Elgarico, 24 yards and Bo Brummel, 38 yards).

“We knew their defense was very aggressive so we went with the play action to take advantage of that, and I think we did a good job there,” said Dailer.

The Eagles kept more than a one score advantage for most of the game, but M-P did make it interesting opening the second half with a touchdown to make the score 27-21 and an onside kick recovery. Then Arlington’s Adam Roehl recovered an M-P fumble on the ensuing possession to turn the ball over and let senior halfback Colton Hordyk run out the game.

Hordyk, who also acted as kicker, finished the game with 173 yards on 13 carries and two touchdowns after having just two rushes in the first half.”

“They were doubling me a lot in the first half, and I think we were both just figuring each other out,” he said. “Then we just decided to pound it out in the second half.” One of Hordyk’s scores was a 46-yard punt return.

His other was a 60-yard, tackle-breaking sprint.

M-P actually outgained Arlington 499 yards to 448, but having better field position and creating turnovers in the right spots is what put the game away for Arlington, and Dailer was happy with his defense’s effort.

“I think before, Marysville would just grind it out, running the ball for eight minutes and then score,” he said.

“But we were able to keep them from grinding it out, and we gave up some big plays, but that’s a good way to play against them.”

McPherson finished the game completing 11 of 21 pass attempts for 264 yards.

North Sound Soccer Club scores big ARLINGTON — In the spirit of teamwork taught by youth sports, Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet teamed up with North Sound Soccer Club/Legacy FC to provide their players and coaches with soccer kits filled with equipment bags, soccer balls, sport cones, scrimmage vests and T-shirts, a sponsorship check and an opportunity to help them raise funds.

North Sound Soccer Club will have the opportunity to raise as much as $10,000 through a fundraising opportunity where one lucky recipient will win his or her choice of a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox or Cruze and another lucky winner will receive a Home Entertainment Package.

Tickets are available at Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet for a suggested donation of $5 each.

Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet and other Seattlearea Chevrolet dealerships

are donating these prizes to participating leagues in the area. All of the proceeds collected from these fundraisers go directly to the leagues, and the funds may be used in any way the leagues choose. According to Mark Shue, president of the North Sound Soccer Club, the money they raise will be used for scholarships.

“Prices are up and the economy is down, but we just can’t raise our prices for these kids to play soccer,” said Shue, a 19-year volunteer with the soccer league, who added that scholarships are utilized by many kids needing financial support, whom their raffle will help.

A one-time $500 sponsorship check was presented

by Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet to North Sound Soccer Club/Legacy FC on Sept. 24 at Twin Rivers Park.

The league will have an opportunity to raise addi-

Sponsored leagues across the country will each receive 2,000 fundraiser entry tickets to distribute for a suggested donation, and the league will keep 100 percent of the proceeds raised. At the end of the fundraisers, there

will be four winners of a Chevy Equinox or Chevy Cruze vehicle of choice, up to $24,995 in value, and in each participating market there will be a secondary prize of a home entertainment center valued at $1,000.

Some leagues plan to grant scholarships to fami-

lies who cannot afford to enroll their children in the league, while others will use the funds to improve fields and equipment.

“We are proud to be able to help the kids in our community by donating equipment and giving them the opportunity to raise muchneeded funds for their

league,” said Tom Lane, president of Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet. “We are excited to be part of the effort this year, and anticipate a fun-filled season with North Sound Soccer Club.”

Lakewood senior helps younger sister

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Lakewood High School Principal Dale Leach acknowledged that students can occasionally see senior projects as merely being “a box to check off,” but he was heartened by the example of LHS senior Ashlie Jensen on Sept. 24.

Jensen not only celebrated her 18th birthday on Saturday, Sept. 24, but she also did her part to make sure her kid sister Karlie will enjoy many happy birthdays of her own in the years to come.

Karlie Jensen, who’s now 12, was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura, or ITP, when she was only 2 years old. ITP causes its sufferers’ immune systems to attack the platelets in their own blood, and because those platelets help

blood to clot, ITP sufferers like Karlie face expensive and life-threatening challenges every day as a result of their condition.

“She’s had to go in for infusion treatments every week,” Ashlie Jensen said.

“She had to wear a bike helmet to grade school every day. When your blood won’t clot, not only do you get sick a lot, but you have to be careful about which medications you take to treat it. Karlie can’t take anything that will thin her blood, so aspirin is right out.”

“If you have a positive blood type, you get a shot, but if you have a negative blood type, you get a sixhour infusion,” said Tiffany Jensen, Ashlie and Karlie’s mom. “Your platelet count can vary wildly, but if you’re under 50,000, you just can’t do any sports that day. It’s tough for Karlie, having to sit out so many events, espe-

cially as a cheerleader.”

Ashlie Jensen has been working with the Platelet Disorder Support Association since May of this year to put together her “Pump It Out For Platelets” 5K walk for Karlie on Sept. 24, starting from and finishing at the Stillaguamish Athletic Club in Arlington.

Her efforts inspired an estimated 50 participants to register for the walk online, and close to 40 more to show up that Saturday to take part, boosting her initial take of approximately $1,700 to nearly $2,000.

“I’m proud of Ashlie for doing this,” Tiffany said.

“There’s only three other people in the community that we know of who have this. Even ambulance drivers aren’t always aware of what ITP is.”

“I’m just trying to get the word out through this event,” Ashlie said. “Karlie’s in remission now, but it could always

There’s no cure for it, so through the PDSA, we’re trying to get people connected to the support groups and to make this condition a little easier to live with.”

“I hope other kids see what

Ashlie has done and it gives them the idea to do something equally meaningful for their own senior projects,” Leach said.

Ashlie Jensen hopes her younger siblings, including Karlie, will carry on what she

intends to become a family tradition of “Pump It Out For Platelets” 5K walks for their own senior projects.

awards scholarships to local high school graduates to help them pay for their postsecondary school dreams.

Every year since 1999, the Arlington chapter has been able to take advantage of a matching grant offered by the Washington state Board of Higher Education. If the Arlington chapter can raise $2,000, the state Board will match it.

“For us, that’s free money,” said Sandie Cooper, president of the Arlington chapter. “Every year, with the help of our local businesses and community members, we’ve made our goal and received those matching funds.”

This year’s event theme is “Ugly Ties,” which is intended to help make the event fun and interesting for the whole family, according to Cheryl Boatman, secretary

of the Arlington chapter.

“We’ll be serving food along with the Bingo games, so it’s an evening out for everyone to enjoy,” Boatman said. “This year, we also have free entertainment, courtesy of the Star Energy Dance Troupe, which will perform at 5:30 p.m., before the Bingo games start at 6 p.m. We encourage everyone to come wearing the ugliest, most outrageous ties they can find, and we’ll have a contest to crown the ugliest tie of the evening.”

For those who own only attractive ties, the Arlington chapter will have an assortment of ugly ones available for purchase at a nominal price during the Bingo night.

Prizes including themed gift baskets and local restaurant gift certificates, all valued at $25 each, will be awarded to

Learn to build trails Oct. 1

ARLINGTON — Area forest landowners can come together to get their hands dirty and learn some new trail building skills on Oct. 1.

Washington State University Extension forestry educators and trail experts from EarthCorps will be teaching how to build and maintain trails properly through different types of terrain, and what tools and materials are required for each.

The WSU Extension office and EarthCorps are offering this program because good walking trails can greatly increase the enjoyment of

one’s property, for forest landowners and their families alike, in addition to providing access for maintenance and fire control.

This will be an outdoor, hands-on workshop where participants will get to practice working on an actual trail and learn to build a footbridge.

The workshop will run from 9 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 off Burn Road in Arlington. The prices are $20 per person or $30 per couple to register.

For more information or to register, log onto http://snohomish.wsu.edu/forestry/trails11.htm or call 425-357-6017.

The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx
