Council wrestles with budget deficit

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council continues to winnow its budget to try and reduce what began as a roughly $2 million deficit.

While a combination of COLA and position eliminations, reallocations of funds and reductions of expenditures could shrink that deficit by $1,330,000, Arlington City Administrator Allen Johnson posed the problem of how to close the remaining $670,000

deficit in the city’s general fund to the City Council on Nov. 21.

The preliminary budget for 2012 has already eliminated COLAs for non-represented employees, as well as managers and directors, but an additional $75,000 could be saved by cutting COLAs for uniformed police and fire personnel. Furloughs of all non-represented employees, as well as managers and directors, for one day a month, for 12 furlough days in 2012, would approximate a 5 percent pay cut and represent

a further $151,000 in savings. Matching 5 percent pay cuts from uniformed police and fire personnel would yield savings of $133,000 and $61,000, respectively, for a total savings of $420,000 from all four measures. Of course, as Johnson noted, all of these measures would need to be negotiated with their respective employee bargaining groups.

If all these measures were enacted, the remaining deficit would be $250,000. During the Nov. 14 City Council meeting, outgoing Mayor

“It’s hard to tell people we have to cut their services if we’re not taking a hit ourselves.”

Chris Raezer Arlington City Council Margaret Larson and several Council members spoke out in favor of reducing the benefits of their own offices, which was reflected in the budget proposals that Johnson presented to Larsen and the Council on Nov. 21. These further deficit reductions

MARYSVILLE — Arlington shoppers took advantage of Black Friday deals, jumping from store to store to secure all the gifts and gadgets they were after on the annual shoppers’ holiday.

The Target store at Lakewood Crossing hosted a line of shoppers that stretched across the front of the store and around the back. Walmart in Arlington had a good turnout as well.

“The shoppers have been friendly as can be since we opened last year and it’s all been safe,” Walmart manager Leon White said. “We give the customers what they want. We help the community and they help us.”

Target and Best Buy benefitted from frenetic Arlington shoppers as well.

“The customers wanted a midnight opening,” Target manager Deb Hunt said of her store that previously opened its doors at 4 a.m.

“Black Friday is more popular every year. We’re happy to do it because midnight spreads the congestion.”

Arlington resident Kari Cook, who has made Black Friday part of her Thanksgiving tradition for nearly 20 years, visited the Arlington Walmart, whose Black Friday sales began at 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving, to kill time before the

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1 eliminating vision insurance coverage for the mayor and Council for a savings of $1,835. These three reductions would save the city a further $90,050.

“It’s hard to tell people we have to cut their services if we’re not taking a hit ourselves,” City Council member Chris Raezer said.

“I don’t have a dog in this hunt, but I tend to agree,” outgoing Council member Sally Lien said, with fellow Council members Dick Butner and Marilyn Oertle echoing her sentiments on Nov. 14.

Larson and outgoing Council member Linda Byrnes both noted that it’s unusual for such part-time elected positions to receive

5IF "SMJOHUPO 5JNFT t 5IF .BSZTWJMMF (MPCF

such coverage.

“It wasn’t part of this job when my husband was mayor,” Larson said.

These measures would leave the deficit at $159,950, for which Johnson introduced a handful of tax proposals.

“Every issue that would have raised taxes went down in this last election,” Raezer said on Nov. 14.

According to Johnson, setting all the utility tax rates to 6 percent would yield savings of $250,000, while $289,000 would be saved by setting electricity rates to 6 percent, and cable television and garbage rates to 8 percent each, while leaving all the rest at their current levels. The current utility tax rates for cable television, electricity, garbage, sewer, stormwater and water are

all 5 percent each, while the natural gas and telephone rates are each 6 percent.

Johnson added that an 0.1 percent increase in the local sales tax devoted to public safety would increase sales tax rate in Arlington to 8.7 percent, generating $70,000 in 2012 and $300,000 in 2013, which would allow funding for one firefighter and one police officer starting in September of next year.

“Citizens don’t want their public safety cut,” Byrnes said on Nov. 14. “If we can tell them that we’ve reduced all these other things, and this money is going toward public safety, we can put it to a vote.”

The next public hearing on the city budget will take place at the Arlington City Council meeting on Dec. 5 at 7 p.m.

SHOPPERS FROM PAGE 1 midnight Target rush. This year Cook was on the hunt for movies, toys, DVD players and knives.

“I was considering wearing a football uniform so people would stay out of my way,” Cook said.

The only trouble she had that night was a brief altercation with a woman who was much too pushy.

“It’s not too bad for all the years we’ve done it,” Cook said. “We’ve been doing this since high school. Dang, we’re getting old.”

Serenity Swanson, Cook’s long-time friend and shopping partner, insisted that Black Friday requires a keen strategy. She checked online apps to map out which

stores had sales that suited what they were looking for.

Cook collected Black Friday ads and checked the paper.

Their Black Friday destinations, Cook and Swanson said, depended on which stores had what they wanted on sale.

“It’s a mad dash to whatever your prize is,” Swanson said of the discount derby that she and hundreds of others would soon begin.

“You have to have a game plan or you’ll get nothing.

Just in case there’s an altercation, I have band-aids.”

Cook and Swanson got in line at Target at 9 p.m. and kept their places in the upper fourth of the line by trading place-holder shifts with Cook’s daughters while she and Swanson perused Walmart. They brought snacks and Thanksgiving leftovers for when their shopping squad got hungry.

The Best Buy next to Target, which also saw even more business than last year, had people camping out for days before the store opened at the same time as Target. TVs were the most popular item.

“It has all paid off,” said Carl Smith of Arlington, who had his Thanksgiving dinner brought to him by family. “I’m loving it. I’ll save thousands on a TV.” Smaller stores in Arlington near Olympic Avenue did not have such crowds.

Desa Duskin, buyer for the Arlington Pharmacy, believes that Black Friday shoppers are looking for far

different things from their shopping experience than those who patronize locally owned merchants.

“We’re not really part of Black Friday,” Duskin said.

“Our biggest shopping day of the year is the first Saturday of December, which is Dec. 3 this year, as part of the Arlington ‘Hometown Holidays’ event.”

The Arlington Pharmacy will be offering 20 percent off all non-pharmaceutical items from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day.

“We can’t offer the same quantity as the bigger retailers, but we think we offer a higher quality of goods than many of them,” Duskin said.

Marian Ferguson, owner of Favorite Pastime in downtown Arlington, reported slow business on Black Friday, but significantly better trade on Small Business Saturday the following day.

“The ‘Buy Local’ business from that Saturday was huge,” Ferguson said.

“I made less than $100 on Black Friday, but about $750 on Small Business Saturday, which is pretty good for a small locally owned shop like mine. Every single one of my customers that Saturday said they’d come in because of Small Business Saturday.”

Even before that boost, Ferguson reported that her business was doing “way better” by Nov. 1 of this year than it had been by Nov. 1 of last year.

“All I can say is to ask that the community continue to support its locally owned shops,” Ferguson said.

LHS presents ‘Robin Hood’ kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — After being delayed for a couple of weeks due to the school football team making the state playoffs, Lakewood High School’s performances of “Robin Hood� will start running on Dec. 2.

The two-hour play starts at 7 p.m. not only on its debut night, but also on Dec. 3, 9 and 10, during which it will boast a completely new feature for LHS drama productions, in the form of choreographed fight scenes.

Bob Nydegger is qualified, but not certified, in the art of stage-fighting, but this has been enough for the veteran professional performer to pass on his knowledge to the nearly two dozen members of the student cast. “Rules one through three are safety,� Nydegger said, as students practiced their sword-fighting scenes with wooden prop swords under his supervision. “The prop weapons should never make contact with the performers’ bodies, because they should be aiming their own weapons at the other performers’ weapons.�

Given the relatively small size of the LHS stage, Nydegger has been especially conscious of preserving safety in the midst of scenes that can include up to a dozen difference fights at once. “None of it is real fighting,� Nydegger said. “If it went as fast as a real fight, you wouldn’t even see it, and it’s angled so that it looks real, even though many of the strikes are close to a foot and a half away from making contact. The students have to keep focused and keep their adrenaline from taking over.�

At the same time, Nydegger praised the students for coming up with successful ideas for the fight scenes, and with modifying fight scenes whose choreography didn’t work as well on stage as they did on paper.

LHS seniors Jacob Peterson, Melody Costley and Sam Ward have done drama for all four years of high school, but even in roles as well-known as Robin Hood, Maid Marian and the Sheriff of Nottingham, respectively, they’ve found this play to be a uniquely challenging experience. “’Clue’ had lots of dying,

but no stage combat,�

Costley said. “You can actually vent your frustrations through the fights,� Ward said. “It’s great for our emotional and mental morale.�

Costley noted that the exact timing has proven difficult on occasion, as Ward admitted that getting carried away in the moment can be a risk, but once they’ve finetuned their performances, they agreed with Peterson that the play should offer satisfying escapism for their audiences. “It’s good for them to watch and get away from their worries,� Peterson said. “We were part of the crew that restarted drama as an entirely new department in our freshman year. Now that we’re seniors, it’s the end of the beginning.�

Born in Idaho Falls, Idaho to Richard and Gazette Staker, LaVaughn moved, at the age of 12, to Everett, Washington with her father and step-mother (Neva). She graduated from Everett High.

Du r i ng W W I I she met, and later married (on Valentine’s Day, 1946), Donald E. Meier. Together they built a clothing business (Meier’s Clothing with stores in Arlington, Marysville and Stanwood) and raised two children, Rich Meier and LuAnne Kay. LaVaughn would tell anyone who asked that her greatest achievements were her two children and ,JSL #PYMFJUOFS 4UBGG 1IPUP

A seismic shift for banks, bankers and banking

A

new charge showed up on my bank statement. I hadn’t done anything differently, I deposit money, write a few checks.

So what had changed that warranted a $4.95 charge? Actually, nothing had changed except for the bank deciding that some small service would no longer be free. Okay, that’s fair, but only if one uses that service.

I don’t.

I now bank with one of the Big Three. My Marysville bank of days of yore had been swallowed by a larger one that was later taken over by one of America’s Uberbanks. Of course the rules changed with each tumultuous change of ownership were engineered to pad the bottom line for whoever signed the papers.

Local banks are teetering and tumbling. After the feds served Cascade Bank with a cease-and-desist order, Cascade was taken over by Opus Bank of Irvine, CA. First Heritage Bank also earned a C&D order for unsound banking practices and was assumed by Columbia State Bank.

After North County Bank stalled because of yet another C&D order, it was snapped up by Whidbey Island Bank. Horizon Bank’s C&D order led to its acquisition by Washington Federal. Evergreen Bank followed the downward trend and was purchased

by Oregon’s Umpquah Bank. And Frontier Bank is struggling under a Cease and Desist order. Ouch.

Bank profits took a big hit when the realty market imploded and another hit when the Feds clamped down on certain of their “creative” loan and financing practices. Oh, how the big banks suffer. GoldmanSachs was forced to trim employees’ salaries so severely that the average employee’s fell to a paltry $292,000.

How’s that for tightening the belt?

Feeling the pinch, the finance industry rose to new levels of creativity. Say you have an account balance of $500. At the end of the month you write three checks, one

OPINION BOB GRAEF for $30, another for $50 and the last for $495. Banks have taken to rearranging the arrival times of the three checks so that the $495 draw all but empties your account. Then the other two checks will each draw a $45 overdraft charge instead of just one, had the $495 check not been posted first.

Time was when banks got by on an industry-standard menu of logical charges. Now, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., about 42 percent of banks’ annual revenue comes from non-interest income which is mainly from add-on fees. That percentage is up from 34 percent one decade ago. And climbing.

It’s time for me to have a sit-down with an officer of my bank. I’m going to hand her (banking seems to have become a girls’ world) a check-list to see where my bank stands on services that once were offered gratis but now carry fees. For instance: ■ Overdraft fees.

■ ATM withdrawal fees.

■ Automatic overdraft protection.

Instead of denying withdrawals from empty accounts, banks now issue the money plus a whopping charge.

■ Account statement fee.

■ Activity fee. (This one can mean just about anything.)

■ “Bank fees” for things like deposit slips, counter checks and notary services.

■ Administrative fees.

■ Additional checks fee.

■ Large cash deposit fee.

■ Annual account maintenance fee.

■ Transaction fee.

■ Use of teller fee.

■ Minimum balance fee.

■ Stagnant account fee.

A print-out of Bank of America’s full list of fees runs eleven pages in length. Its customers must pay $3 to lay hands on canceled checks.

If you call the bank more than six times, your next calls will cost $1 each. If Wells-Fargo’s robo help-line doesn’t do the job, you’ll pay $2 to talk with a human. A money-order from Citibank will cost customers $5. To stop a check, Citibank charges $30. To show how completely out of whack things have become, the nation’s total fees charged for overdrafts topped $17.5 billion last year although those fees were attached to only $15.8 billion in overdrafts.

In contrast, there are good little banks in our area, Skagit State Bank for one. A few dodged the housing bubble by sticking to conservative ways to emerge on sound footing. A check will show that most of these rock-solid local banks depend less on fees.

Credit unions have come out of the mess smelling like roses, largely because deregulators hadn’t granted them the same right to gamble accorded to bankers. Further, the percent interest charged by credit unions for overdue Visa or Master balances is typically half or less that charged

by Big Banks. The only downside to transferring one’s banking to a credit union is that credit union offices are typically bunched close to their points of origin. That means it may cost to access your account when traveling.

Greed, questionable practices and excess have moved many to transfer accounts to local financial institutions that offer little more than traditional banking services. No nuisance charges, no brokerage gambling, no multimillion dollar execs. This may be the dawning of a new day for banking and it can’t come too soon.

James J. Murtha

August 29, 1921 — November 20, 2011

On November 20, 2011, our beloved father, James J. Murtha passed away quietly and gently, much in the same manner he lived his life.

James was born August 29, 1921, in Condon, Oregon, to James and Kathleen Murtha, the 5th of seven children. He grew up on the family ranch, known as “Rock Creek�. He attended a one-room country school with his brothers and sisters, later graduating high school from St Mary’s Academy in The Dalles, Oregon.

Dad served as a US Marine in the Pacific during World War II. Semper Fi, Dad! Upon his return home, he married his first wife, Mary. They later divorced. From this union, seven children were born. In 1977, Dad married the love of his life, Delores Turner. Sadly, she died a year later.

Dad was no stranger to hard work, and always made sure his family was well cared for. He first found work driving a milk route. He then worked on the shipping docks in Portland, Oregon, during

which time he went to trade school to study carpentry.

In 1950, Dad joined the Portland Fire Department, where he served the City of Portland until he retired as lieutenant in 1982. Dad built several homes over the years, doing all of the work himself, from the foundation up to the chimney tops. He was a true craftsman.

Dad’s greatest passion, however, was his cattle. He was an Eastern Oregon man at heart. He continued to run a successful cattle ranch during his firefighting years, and returned to live on his beloved ranch on the John Day River upon his retirement from the fire department. He continued to run cattle until he was 88 years of age.

Dad then moved to Montana to live with his eldest son and then with his youngest daughter and her family. His days were happy and full; going for walks, golf cart rides, long drives in the country, watching his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren play, watching

old episodes of Bonanza, and reading. Dad was a prolific reader, and to the end, his mind was razor sharp. He read the paper daily, from front to back, and kept up with all the news, which he would discuss with us in detail every evening.

Dad was the kindest, most gentle, and sweetest man ever there was. All who met him adored him instantly. He will be greatly missed.

Dad was preceded in death by his second wife, Delores, and his daughter, Elizabeth Larson. He is survived by six children, James E. Murtha (Carolyn) MT, John Murtha (Chris) NV, Kathryn Garrett, MT, Robert Murtha, OR, Jeanne Murtha, MT, and Joannie Volesky (Doug) of MT. He also leaves behind 15 grandchildren and 8 greatgrandchildren; his brother, Pat Murtha and sister, Mary Chambers.

Cremation has taken place.

Dad will be laid to rest with his wife at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland, Oregon at a later date.

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

Arlington wrestling has new head coach

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington boys wrestling has a new leader on its coaching staff.

Rick Iverson, whose 25 years of coaching had taken him to Western Washington University and MarysvillePilchuck High School before he retired in 1998, has taken the helm of the boys wrestling. “I’m tremendously enthused about it,� Iverson said. “The Arlington community is great. I’m a Marysville man, and my son, Craig Iverson, took my job at Marysville-Pilchuck when I left.�

Iverson wrestled for Sedro-Woolley and later Skagit Valley Community College in Mount Vernon.

He’s been Regional Coach of the Year several times and was inducted to the State Hall of Fame in 1998.

Iverson was honored to be inducted into the National Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame in the summer of 2011.

When asked of his interest in the Arlington job, he emphasized that he had considered building the Arlington girls’ team,

but the idea of coaching the Arlington boys team intrigued him. Iverson asked Barry Knott, his friend and long-time coaching peer who had also retired in 1998, if he was interested in coaching again.

Knott accepted and the new regime began. “We have about 75 years of coaching combined. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing,� Iverson said with a laugh.

Iverson brings an aggressive wrestling style to Arlington. “Two things that the crowd likes to watch, and wrestlers need to know, is how to take somebody down and how to turn somebody over and get points and pin them,� Iverson said. “There’s the philosophy of taking someone down and letting them go, for more points, but we at Arlington want to be a take-down team. This is a tough league that we’re in, and we’re not going to pin everybody, but we’re sure going to try.�

Knott was the head wrestling coach for Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, where he won seven straight championships from 1984 to 1990, at Lake Washington

High School in Kirkland and Bellarmine High School in Tacoma. He has been the Regional Coach of the Year, Coach of the Decade and has been nominated to the Washington State Wrestling Coaches’ Hall of Fame. “It’s fun to be back in it,�

Knott said. “Working with Rick is great. They know they’re not getting a dope when they look at me for coaching.�

Iverson and Knott join assistant coaches Jim Smoots and Gary Niklason, two incumbent Arlington assistant coaches.

Smoots was an AllAmerican wrestler at Biola University and, after coaching for three years in California, was Arlington wrestling’s head coach from 1990 to 2007 and a three-time coach of the year before becoming an assistant. Niklason, who graduated from Arlington in 1981, was second in state for the Eagles his senior year before going on to wrestle at Washington State.

Arlington’s coaching staff also includes Scott Ames and Darryl Berg. Ames, a two-time Oregon high school state champion at Scappoose High, went on to

Berg wrestled at Connell High School and has been coaching club wrestling for the past few years.

The entire coaching staff is very optimistic about

the future of the Arlington wrestling program. “The kids are very responsive. They’re young and green, but that’s what we’re here for,� Iverson said. “By the end of the year, as we approach the district tournament, I think we’ll compete very well.�

Iversen, Knott, Smoots and the rest of the staff are all excited to be working together with Arlington’s talented young wrestlers,

including sophomores Connor Gonzales and Bryce Thomas, who went to state last year. They anticipate many members of the Arlington community attending and supporting the Eagle wrestling family in their journey this season. “We’re going to have a good team, and in the next two or three years I think we’ll be on the Top 10 board at state,� Knott said.

Lakewood boys basketball prepares for upcoming season

Lakewood senior guard forward Paul Coleman elevates to shoot a jump shot during the Lakewood varsity practice on Nov. 22.

LAKEWOOD — Cougar varsity boys basketball, armed with six seniors, is ready to get back to prominence after suffering key injuries in the second half of the season and missing the playoffs with a 3-11 Cascade Conference record in 2010.

Head coach Matt Hart, entering his eighth year as the team’s head coach, is ready as well. He said this year’s mix of older vets and new, talented freshman can make a big difference.

Lakewood football players — seven of fourteen players on the roster including senior guard Tyler

Duitsman, junior power forward Justin Peterson, freshman guard/forward Paul Coleman, freshman forward Hunter Fritz, senior center Dustin Stanton, junior forward/center Kolby Scheuller and senior forward/ center Thomas Raught — return to the hardcourt after a 2A state-quarterfinals-reaching 2011 campaign on the gridiron. Duitsman and Stanton suffered injuries during the football season but will return just after the basketball season begins.

Senior guards Caleb Graves and Tyler Farrell and forward Zach Smith, as well as junior forwards Kelly Blaine and Kendal Kippen and forward/center

Josh Anderson, will reunite with their football counterparts to take Lakewood’s varsity team to the next level. Freshman guard Ryan Alford, having taken the opportunity to play all summer in the football players’ absence, will provide new talent to add depth to a senior-heavy squad, Hart added.

According to Hart, this year’s varsity Cougars will look to push the ball downcourt on offense and press on defense. They’ll play with a higher tempo and get out and run more than they did last year. Perhaps the most important aspect of this team is that no one player considers himself

I know our character is championship-level.’

The hour-long documentary, narrated by Academy Award nominee Alfre Woodard, will be followed by a discussion about what local residents can do to stop hate in their community. Communities across the country will use the film to initiate dialogues about intolerance and anti-immigrant violence.

Libraries in two Sno-Isle communities, Oak Harbor and Freeland, already held their “Not In Our Town� screenings and discussions in September. Both libraries reported strong community enthusiasm and support for the film and discussion that followed.

For specific screening information, visit http:// www.sno-isle.org/explore/ issues-that-matter-niot. The screenings and discussions are funded by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Library will be one of 10 Sno-Isle Libraries to host screenings and public discussions of a new PBS documentary, “Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness,� starting at 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 6.

These screenings are part of Sno-Isle Libraries’ “Issues That Matter� series of programs that encourage important community dialogue.

The documentary and discussion will ask community members to consider what they would do if one of their neighbors was killed in a hate crime. “Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness� tells the story of residents of a Long Island village who took action after a local immigrant was killed in a hate crime attack by seven teenagers. While documenting the trauma caused by hate, the film also provides a blueprint for those who want to

A: I would highly recommend an extended warranty.

Cheri Groves This is an investment that you made for your home that Comfort Advisor will last 15-20 years in some cases longer. They are definitely worth it. If you should have something go wrong you are 100% covered. If something major is going to happen it won’t be an inexpensive repair, most likely the “part� will be covered but not the “labor�. Depending upon who installed your system in could be pretty expensive labor. In the 8+years that I have been estimating I have been to many homes where customers have had to change out a 4yr, 5yr, 8yr, 9yr, etc system out that the cost to repair did not make sense and the peace of mind to replace with warranty made a world of difference to them. If you just purchased a system you still have the option to purchase a warranty for most Brands up to a year after install.
