ARLINGTON — Those in need in the local community will find familiar helping hands at a new location, as the Arlington Community Food Bank opened its doors for the first time at the Arlington Municipal Airport on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

Arlington Community Food Bank Board President Sharon Moon estimated that more than two dozen volunteers moved close to 10 tons of food from their former facility at 137 N. Cox Ave. to their new home, albeit a temporary one, at 18810 59th Dr. NE. “We went from 1,800 square feet to 2,100 square feet,” Moon said. “It feels like more, though, because it’s more open and it’s all on one level here. Before, we were always having to go up or down a step or two between rooms. With one big area here, though, we can arrange everything in a much more efficient manner.”

The move kicked off after 3 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 2, and continued into the weekend, as volunteers not only loaded and unloaded three trucks full of food, but also broke down and rebuilt shelving SEE MOVE, PAGE 14

SMOKEY POINT — The winter holiday season is still well underway, but the Stillaguamish Senior Center already has its eyes on ways to help people lead healthier lives in the New Year.

The Stillaguamish Senior Center’s ice cream social on Thursday, Dec. 8, treated visitors to a pair of health experts who will be offering unique ways to feel better in January and beyond.

Elsa Del Toro is a licensed acupuncturist — now classified as an “East Asian medical practitioner” by the state — who will be

offering a walk-in community acupuncture clinic at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting on Jan. 11, and she touted the value of acupuncture in meeting a number of everyday needs, especially for seniors.

“You can have acupuncture treatments in conjunction with medical treatments from a doctor, or on their own,” Del Toro said.

“The issues that they cover include digestion, insomnia, depression, anxiety and even just pains.”

Del Toro estimated that between 50 percent to 60 percent of her current base of SEE SENIORS, PAGE 2

charge only $20 for seniors, veterans and military personnel, and $30 for members of the general public, a savings that she explained will be made possible by treating a higher volume of patients at once. “By seeing three to five people at a time, I can lower the costs for everyone,� Del Toro said. “Not only does this create more of a community atmosphere, but the smaller fees can encourage people to come more often and see greater results. I enjoy what I do, but I don’t want my patients to be dependent on me. I just want to bring them into balance.�

Ellis Waller has her Master of Science in gerontology and spoke to the crowd about “The Healing Power of Humor,� a completely free-of-charge program she’ll be presenting at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on Thursdays, from 10 a.m. to noon, from March 8-29.

She emphasized that the program would not be comedy or entertainment, but rather, it’s aimed to aid participants in drawing the humor from their own lives. “Having a sense of humor can be hard work, especially when the losses of your life outweigh the gains, but you need an optimistic attitude,�

Waller said. “It’s also important that you share that

laughter, because laughing alone is not as much fun as laughing with a group.�

Waller will be leading groups in creative exercises to bring out that humor, in part by talking to one another “on a deeper level� and sharing their positivity with each other. “Laughter induces a relaxed response that’s psychologically and physiologically beneficial,� Waller said. “When you can reframe even the negatives in your life into positives, you have better emotional and mental health, which allows you to age more successfully.�

Overnight closures continue on I-5 Drivers should watch for lane closures in the Lakewood, Smokey Point areas as work continues on the 156th Street overpass SMOKEY POINT — Drivers on I-5 in the Lakewood and Smokey Point areas should expect continued overnight closures of inside

lanes through the week of Monday, Dec. 19, for construction of the city of Marysville’s 156th Street overpass project.

City of Marysville Public

Works and Washington State Department of Transportation officials, and contractor Atkinson Construction, hammered out a work schedule that provides crews time to complete this stage of work in the median for the bridge project, located about a mile south of the State Route 531 and 172nd Street NE I-5 interchange,

while minimizing traffic disruptions.

Crews will move heavy machinery and equipment into the median through Thursday, Dec. 15, with the southbound left-hand lane closure starting at 10 p.m., and the actual drilling of bridge shafts to begin the week of Dec. 19.

Drilling work will require closing both the north-

bound and southbound left-hand lanes.

The Lakewood Triangle Access and 156th Street I-5 overcrossing is a $13 million public-private partnership project that will create a two-lane bridge connecting Smokey Point Boulevard with Twin Lakes Boulevard and the growing Lakewood retail and residential area to the

west of I-5.

The project is scheduled for completion in August of 2012.

For more information, contact Gruenhagen by phone at 360-363-8279 or via email pgruenhagen@ marysvillewa.gov.

The trains are coming!

Marysville’s issue with increasing rail traffic is here to stay in spite of all the ink that’s been spilled over BNSF’s high-handed intention to slice Marysville in half with a chain saw of coal cars. From a local perspective it just isn’t fair but from the BNSF perspective, our perspective doesn’t count for much. BNSF has the law on its side.

Bucking the Burlington Northern is akin to Marysville citizens’ fight with Walmart over its decision to plop a new store at the intersection of Highway 9 and Highway 528. Though opponents delivered wonderfully wellreasoned arguments against it, Wallmart’s lawyers, having honed their strategy in thousands of other places, smashed the opposition as Chinese tanks did in Tiananmen Square.

The railroads’ advantage began during the westward expansion in the 19th Century. To encourage completion of transcontinental routes, rail moguls were given rights and privileges that trumped private landowners whenever push came to shove.

That level of control has been affirmed whenever Congress is faced with re-drafting definitions of railroads’ rights.

Railroad law derived its clout

OPINION BOB GRAEF from the reality that rails can’t be expected to snake around private properties to preserve private interests. Hence, railroaders don’t need to negotiate. The latest tweaking of Federal Railroad Law effective January 1, 2010, says in effect, that when a conflict arises over new rail routes, “ ... compensation shall be determined ... in the manner provided for the taking of real property under the law of eminent domain.” Though this doesn’t address the Marysville issue, it shows that rails hold all the aces.

So we’re stuck with it.

Waiting is the hardest part.

Bells ring out, red lights flash, crossing arms come down and the wait begins. It’s when one learns all over again that wasted minutes become longer when one has to be somewhere on time. If it takes three seconds for one coalcar to clear a crossing and a train is 110 cars long, that’s 5.5 minutes per train. Tack on a minute on either end to get traffic sorted out and rolling again and you have SEE TRAINS, PAGE 5

his is always one of my favorite times of the year and a good time to reflect on all we have to be thankful for right here in Marysville. n our fast-paced and hectic lives, it is easy to forget sometimes what a great community we live in. Marysville is a community that goes above and beyond in community service. Our fellow citizens give selflessly of themselves to make others’ lives better, helping each other and looking out for their neighbors.

When I think of things to be thankful for in our community, the list runs long, but here are five that immediately come to mind especially at this time of year.

1. The Marysville Community Food Bank and Toy Store, its corps

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

of hard-working volunteers and the great many who donate food and money throughout the year to assist needy families locally.

Even during one of our region and nation’s most challenging economic times, every time the food bank has asked for help, the community has generously responded.

2. Service clubs including the Sunrise and Noon Rotary, Kiwanis, Soroptimist and the Lions. These groups continually give of their time and resources to contribute

toward a better future for our kids and others in our community.

There are many evenings and weekends throughout the year that you will find these service club members donating time from their busy schedules at fundraisers and other public events that ultimately have a direct impact on making Marysville a stronger, better and more vibrant community.

3. The growing number of positive activities and places for our youth. The Marysville YMCA’s Youth Development Center opened in August; it’s a place for energetic youth groups like the Minority Achievers Program (MAP) to call home. The Center offers resources to help teens pursue higher educational and career goals, while SEE MAYOR, PAGE 5

tewardship: MerriamWebster’s definition is “the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.”

When the Arlington School Board adopted a new Strategic Plan in 2010, they focused our district’s Mission and Vision on four core responsibilities: Student Achievement, Safe and Caring Environment, Stewardship and Continuous Improvement.

My role requires stewardship for the operations of nine school campuses and three support facilities.

These facilities must serve the needs of our instructional programs while at the same time operating with the utmost efficiency.

Energy Consumption

GUEST OPINION

SID LOGAN ARLINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT

Energy conservation has been a stewardship focus in our district for many years and that pays dividends today. Energy conservation goes beyond looking at how to live within our means; it challenges us to do the same with less. Old fashioned hard work and new technologies have enabled us to reduce our energy consumption.

Lighting: Since 2001, we have been upgrading our lighting by installing more efficient fixtures, ballasts and bulbs, using grants from Snohomish County PUD.

These PUD grants cover the cost of new fixtures, with the district supplying the installation labor.

The current estimated annual savings (over traditional fixtures) from these upgrades is 765,000 kilowatt-hours, or enough electricity to power 58 Washington homes and saves the district approximately $50,000 each year. Our estimated cumulative savings since 2001 is $275,000. These lighting improvements are most noticeable in our gymnasiums where all fixtures have been replaced with high efficiency fluorescent lights.

HVAC: Heating, ventilating and cooling our buildings is our single largest utility cost. Our two HVAC technicians use energy management systems to carefully monitor and SEE SCHOOLS, PAGE 5

TRAINS FROM PAGE 4

Thanks to the Arlington School District Recently my husband, my mother and I got an inside look at some of the Arlington schools in action.

The Arlington School District sponsored a “Know Your Schools� program on a Tuesday while classes were in session. It was a won-

derful way to reach out to community members like us who otherwise have no connection to the schools.

School staff guided us through several classrooms at each level — high school, middle and elementary. At the high school we learned a little French, saw a twominute dramatic production, and listened to the band.

At Post Middle School we calculated angles in math

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 4 adjust our HVAC systems to ensure efficiency. When boilers and water heaters need to be replaced, we evaluate both the energy efficiency of the replacement and size of the equipment based on our current program needs. A recent benchmarking study of our schools, provided at no cost by the McKinstry Corporation, found that we were among the most energy efficient schools in our region.

School Bus Routing: Each year we review our school bus routing to ensure that our routes stay efficient. Efficient routes minimize the distances traveled each day while maintaining an appropriate number of students assigned to each bus. Efficient routing results in reduced fuel consumption. With our price for diesel fuel having risen by 65 percent in the past five years, reducing our consumption helps our bottom line.

Maintenance Maintenance of our schools is

MAYOR FROM PAGE 4 providing a place to hang out with friends, play games and do homework. The Marysville Boys and Girls Club provides an after-school place for young people downtown to do many of the same things, and to reach their fullest potential. Youth groups including Boys and Girl Scouts, and Camp Fire USA are instilling character, citizenship, teamwork and self-esteem in our younger generations. And of course, Marysville and other neighboring school districts offer many great clubs, athletics and extracurricular activities.

It is great to see our youth involved in so many positive activities that lead to a better community and put them on the path towards a brighter future.

class and used the global positioning system on computers.

At Kent Prairie Elementary we watched the kindergarten class run about under a large round red, blue and yellow parachute-like sheet of fabric. The first-graders showed us the books they were making.

At every level we were impressed with the teachers’ enthusiasm and their stu-

focused on the needs of our instructional programs, the safety of our students and preserving district assets. Priorities include repairing roofs, maintaining fire detection systems, exterior painting, resolving water intrusion issues, inspecting and maintaining playground equipment, and repairing damaged walkways. Three full-time and one parttime employee maintain 700,000 square feet of facilities.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle Another important aspect of stewardship is being conscientious of our waste streams. All of our facilities recycle paper, cardboard, fluorescent light bulbs and electronic components. Bottle and can recycling is provided at six of our facilities and is expanding each year.

Presidents Elementary School, which houses our central kitchen, collects food waste for composting. With the assistance of the city of Arlington, we are currently evaluating expanding composting to additional schools.

To further reduce our refuse costs, the district owns and operates a garbage truck to haul our own refuse to the local

I cannot emphasize enough what a community asset your time represents.

Consider this: Total volunteer hours contributed by residents through Serve Day, Graffiti Paint Outs and other park maintenance and program volunteer events totaled 1,722 hours in 2011, an increase of 500 hours over 2010 levels.

These hours are equivalent to $34,440 in added value to the city.

When you begin adding in volunteer hours donated through city-sanctioned activities like the Police Department’s Marysville Volunteers Program (MVP) for crime prevention, AdoptA-Street garbage pickup, youth athletics, city boards and committees, that valueadded total soars to $280,000.

That number still doesn’t factor in the time that community members donate through participation in civic organizations, churches, schools and other groups that share a sense of community.

5. Last, but certainly not least, let us be thankful for the many service members and their families who live here and have spent another year here and away from home sacrificing of them-

dents’ involvement in their subjects. So much going on.

Such good energy.

It was a real privilege and an opportunity to see our schools in action. A great big thank you to teachers, staff, students and district personnel for the good work you’ve been doing all these years.

transfer station. Hauling our own garbage saves money and allows us better monitoring of our refuse.

Grounds Three groundskeepers mow and maintain 180 acres of school grounds, athletic fields, planted beds and wetlands. Maintaining our grounds with minimal resources is one of our biggest stewardship challenges. With a focus on supporting our instructional and athletic programs, our priorities are maintaining and improving athletic fields and play grounds. Our struggle is keeping our lawns, beds and curbs weed free and looking sharp.

The staff of Arlington Public Schools takes our stewardship responsibilities very seriously and we are constantly looking for additional ways that we can improve our operations. These operational efficiencies help our financial bottom line and enable us to direct more of our resources to our students.

selves to ensure that we all continue to enjoy the freedoms that we far too often take for granted. We owe so much to America’s finest, and, as the USS Abraham Lincoln departs from Everett for its final deployment before a 3-1/2 year refueling in Virginia, we say thank you to the many fine sailors and their families who have been such a welcome addition to our community over these many years. We welcome those sailors who serve aboard the USS Nimitz and their families who will be stationed at Naval Station Everett. We look forward to seeing many of them become part of our military family-friendly community

in the coming months.

We rightly spend much of our time throughout each year working to find solutions to and planning to meet the many challenges that face our city. While we do face significant challenges just as other communities all around us do, it is also important to pause for a moment during this holiday season to reflect on the many things that we have to be thankful for as individuals and as a city.

I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

GLOBE THE MARYSVILLE

7.5-minute blockages.

Minimum. I’ve sometimes been left feeling like William Wilson of Huntsville, Ala., who gave the world an earful after being trapped for an hour and 10 minutes at a crossing.

Ohio’s legislature weighed in with this statement: “The general assembly finds that the improper obstruction of railroad grade crossings by trains is a direct threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of this state inasmuch as improper obstructions create uniquely different local safety problems by preventing the timely movement of ambulances, the vehicles of law enforcement officers and firefighters, and official and unofficial vehicles transporting health care officials and professionals.� Surely, Washington has a similar statement on the books.

The Ohio statement describes how Marysville will be profoundly affected when the current annoyance of occasional trains blocking crossings ramps up to a crippling nuisance. When the number of trains more than doubles, it will mean frequent gridlock at the Fourth Street crossing, the Fourth and State intersection and the intersection of State Avenue and Cemetery Road — that’s 88th to newcomers.

The situation isn’t unique to Marysville. Reno’s gradecrossings saw rail traffic rise from 15 to 25 trains per day within a year with the possibility of a peak of 40 per day.

The city dug a $235 million rail trench below street level, assisted by $35 million from the Union Pacific. Both cities suffer from increased traffic headed to and from seaports.

Reasons for upsurges in rail traffic include increasing

volumes of raw and manufactured materials, concentration of traffic to fewer main lines and escalating of costs of fuel forcing loads from trucks onto higher efficiency rails.

Though we can’t stem the flow of trains, municipalities are given a token bit of latitude in controlling train noise by declaring quiet zones. No tooting allowed, just earth-shaking rumble.

Trackside residents attest that after a short and sleepless period of adjustment, trainrumble seldom interrupts slumber though, where trains are muted into stealth-mode, road-kill of various species should be expected, including homo sapiens.

The only law effectively protecting towns against blockage of crossings addresses trains that are parked on crossings. If the wheels aren’t turning, limits may be set.

But if even a snail’s pace of motion can be detected, a train can take its own sweet time while frustrated motorists stack up on both sides.

This right was confirmed under the 1994 Federal Railroad Safety Authorization Act and tested by Sioux Falls in 2005. The Sioux Falls action was deemed worthless and tossed out of court. Sioux Falls contended that it wasn’t effective enough that federal law says, “... the crossing is to be cleared with reasonable dispatch.�

The bottom line is, little can be done to halt, moderate or otherwise ease the burden caused by increased rail traffic. Some advocate re-routing the tracks to the west, which would be purely voluntary on the part of BNSF so that won’t happen. But hey, we’ll still get to use our crossings when they’re not clogged with trains.

NJROTC continues to grow at M-PHS

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — “It’s been business as usual, but business has been good,” said retired Cmdr. Randy Brasfield of the MarysvillePilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC program.

The M-PHS NJROTC Tomahawk Company recently conducted its pass in review and drill team performance as part of its annual evening parade, the completion of which has been a big weight off the shoulders of many of the cadets. Although Rear Adm. Troy Shoemaker was unable to attend the Nov. 22 event, retired Capt. Daniel Wenceslao returned to the M-PHS gymnasium that night to inspect the cadets and praise their conduct.

“It’s great to be in a school that just gets it, and invests its resources in a program like this,” said Wenceslao, who’s served as the NJROTC Area 13 manager since 1997. “It’s great that you parents are willing to give of yourselves by driving your kids to school early in the morning and picking them back up late at night for

this. It’s great that kids like you, who do this program, have higher grades, fewer discipline problems and the same sense of purpose and camaraderie as those of us who have served in the military. I hear all the time from cadets that they feel like it’s a family, and that’s because senior cadets are mentoring junior cadets and everyone is accepted.”

Wenceslao presented Tomahawk Company Commanding Officer Cadet Lt. Cmdr. Terryll Daguison with a “challenge coin,” explaining to him that, “You have to carry that for the rest of your life, and if we ever meet again and I ask you to show me that coin and you don’t have it, you’ll owe me the beverage of my choice.”

Wenceslao then reflected on the odds of him meeting Daguison again, and jokingly modified the conditions to tell the stands of spectators, “If you ever meet him again, you can ask him to show you that coin and have him owe you a beverage if he doesn’t have it.”

the Navy after 21 years as a senior chief petty officer who’d served in the first Gulf War. Vital himself signed up for NJROTC to test it out during his freshman year four years ago, but within the first two months, he knew he wanted to go the distance with the program.

“As a freshman, I was actually considering becoming a chef,” Vital said. “This set my plans in gear to become a Naval officer. I’d like to become a nuclear engineer, but I’d prefer serving on a

carrier to being in a submarine,” he laughed.

This year marked Cadet Seaman Nicholas Alonso’s first in the M-PHS NJROTC. Vital inspired him to check it out, and he’s found it rewarding for affording him a constructive outlet other than sports.

“If you decide you do want to go into the military as an adult, or even if you don’t, it gives you a sense of discipline, responsibility and organization,” said Alonso, who is still weighing his own

options, but is considering a career in the intelligence field, “because I like seeing how people get their information.”

Fellow Cadet Seaman Nick Malloy, in his second year with the program, will either be joining the Navy to study avionics or the Marine Corps to serve in the infantry. His grandfather retired from the Navy as a lieutenant commander after serving in Vietnam, and Malloy himself touted the value of NJROTC in building up leadership skills.

“Almost my entire family was military,” said Cadet Petty Officer 1st Class Sarah Hagberg, who served as a platoon commander, recorder and guidon during the evening parade. “My mom’s side of the family was Navy and my dad’s side was Marines. I decided I needed some discipline in my life, since I was rebellious child, and it’s taught me a lot.”

“You get out of it what you put into it,” Alonso said.

“You’ll be a good person by the time you get out,” Vital said.

Brasfield reported that the M-PHS NJROTC has grown every year since its inception in 2007, and this year was no exception, since its 140 cadets were 10 more than last year’s group.

“I say it every year, but this group is particularly ready,” Brasfield said. “They prepared themselves well for their inspections and performed very smoothly. It’s the second year that we’ve had two different high schools in this company, but working together has made them smarter.”

Dade takes third place Arlington offers a in Pokémon tourney variety of classes

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — A local boy made good with the skills he honed at pitting his pocket monsters against others.

Marysville’s Alexander Dade was one of more than 30 Pokémon players to turn out for the Marysville city championships of the trading card game at Wandering Havoc Games on Sunday, Nov. 27, but he nabbed third place and earned himself a potential invite to the Pokémon national championships in Indianapolis next summer.

“I’m very proud of him,” Gary Dade said of his son.

“He’s been playing for about two years now, and he’s gotten very good at it.”

While the family is still exploring its options about how to proceed to the next level of championships, Gary acknowledged that Alexander has been “very vocal” about wanting to go further.

“He’s very passionate about it, so we’re looking into it,” Gary Dade said. “It’s a serious deal.”

And not just for kids, either. Craig Hulse, coowner of Wandering Havoc Games in Marysville, noted

“We’ve been offering special sales on Pokémon cards,” Hulse said. “This weekend just happened to coincide with the Black Friday weekend as well.”

Wandering Havoc not only hosts one city championship of Pokémon each year, but they also serve as the site for weekly league play of the game every Thursday evening.

“Multiple aspects of it appeal to different people,”

Hulse said. “There’s the playability and collectability of the cards, plus you’re got the people who are really competitive at it. The wide variety of cards themselves doesn’t hurt.”

At the age of 21, Marysville’s Nicholas LeonGuerrero is a more seasoned hand, but he only came back to the game a few weeks ago after a decade away.

“My brother got me into Magic,” Leon-Guerrero said. “I get a thrill from it like I did as a kid, because it’s at least as challenging now as it was back then. In many ways, it’s grown more complex.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Parks and Recreation Department is offering a variety of classes.

A basic First Aid class will take place in the community room of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Monday, Dec. 19, from 6-9 p.m.

Participants will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of injuries and sudden illness, as well as crucial information about how to deal with emergencies, from a certified instructor.

You can renew your existing certification or become First Aid certified in this OSHA, WISHA, L&I and DSHS approved class.

A class on CPR and AED for the community and workplace will follow in the community room of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Tuesday, Nov. 20, from 6-9 p.m.

This course teaches the chain of survival, activation of 911, emergency response, airway obstruction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a.k.a. CPR. Information on adult heart attacks and strokes will also be provided, and AED certification is included. This basic certification conforms to 2010 national standards and is based on the same scientific guidelines and treatment recommendations used by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross.

Sheila Davis, of Bee Safe Education and

Training, is the instructor for both classes, which are open to adults and youth ages 12 and older.

The fee is $30 for the First Aid class, or $25 if you’re also taking the $30 CPR class.

ACE certified instructor Kelly Howe will lead the beginner’s circuit-style resistance and cardio class, for participants to burn fat, build muscle and increase endurance.

Classes will meet in all weather so dress appropriately. Running shoes from a specialty running store are strongly recommended. Call the instructor if you need help finding a local store. Bring a water bottle, a mat, a pair of dumbbells in the 3-8 pound range (your choice) and a great attitude.Participants will be mailed a health questionnaire after registration, which must be mailed back to instructor before class.

ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stormwater treatment system now has the equivalent of a kidney, according to city Natural Resources Manager Bill Blake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at having a total of 1,500 trees and shrubs here,â&#x20AC;? Blake said at the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new stormwater wetland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Douglas Fir, Red Cedar and Sitka Spruce trees will shade the third cell of our stormwater wetland to cool it down, as well as provide a vegetative buffer between the wetland and Highway 530.â&#x20AC;?

While the wetland at the north end of town near the Stillaguamish River is also intended to provide a breeding habitat for wildlife and a public trail system for human visitors, its four cells are an extension of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wastewater treatment plant to the immediate east by Haller Park. Blake explained that the sequence is designed to help clear out garbage and sediment, before filtering out pollutants such as oils, pet waste, heavy metals and antibiotics, with the final stage being a babbling brook of cobbles that deoxygenates the water. Before that last cell in the circuit is the forested area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been counting the days until the first duck shows up,â&#x20AC;? Blake said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing scientific analyses

Harmeling echoed Blakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s praise for the stormwater wetland as a natural filtration system for substances that we flush down the toilet or pour down the sink. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you toss medication down the drain, it ends up in the Sound,â&#x20AC;?

Harmeling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hormones in contraceptives can interfere with animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reproduction.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water can run completely through this system within six hours, even after a heavy rain,â&#x20AC;? Blake added.

Arlington resident Kristen Crakes brought her daughter to help her plant trees, and appreciates seeing her get into environmental stewardship at an early age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to do things as a family,â&#x20AC;? Crakes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to do cleanups like this back in Oregon, before we moved here about a year ago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just fun to participate in, especially when it has a huge turnout like today.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want my girls to learn about the environment and to feel good about giving to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Arlington Girl Scout Troop Leader Elise Simbeck, who was joined by 10 girls from her troop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can instill in them a lifelong belief in the value of service. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even aware of this area before today. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fascinating.â&#x20AC;?

The 10-week tobacco cessation program also utilizes visual reminders to reinforce positive behavior along with physical strategies to overcome cravings.

These physical strategies range from going out for a walk to playing with magic bubbles.

Blowing bubbles from a wand or bouncing a rubber ball against a wall may seem like a childish activity, but the physical motion works wonders for adults with cigarettes on their minds.

Within a week, New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions usually fall by the wayside.

But an all-year revolution against cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke in your life is worth the battle.

Nadine Carter, certified tobacco treatment specialist at Tulalip Health Clinic, assists smokers in defining goals and taking steps toward tobacco cessation.

Day in, day out, she sees people who literally devastate their health one puff at a time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smoking doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any redeeming benefits,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It damages every organ in the body.â&#x20AC;?

She explains that smoking is something akin to sticking your mouth up to the running exhaust of a car and sucking in, or spraying bug spray directly into your mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are 7,000 chemicals in a cigarette,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you really want that going into your body?â&#x20AC;?

Arlington girls fall to Shorecrest

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shorecrest, coming off a win in their season opener against Lake Washington on Nov. 30, visited Arlington High School on Dec. 5 to face the Lady Eagles who had just trounced Oak Harbor on Dec. 1.

Arlington, loaded with seven seniors and five juniors, became the Scotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; latest victims as they fell 59-45 in a physical low post battle.

The Eagles and Scots split the rebounding battle in the first quarter before Shorecrest called timeout, trailing 10-5, with 3:22 to play.

Lakewood freshmen Ryan Alford, left, and Paul Coleman swarm South Whidbey junior Sam Turpin in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cascade Conference game on Dec. 7.

LAKEWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cougar boys varsity basketball faced a tall order as they faced the South Whidbey Falcons in their first Cascade Conference game on Dec. 7.

Enter 6-foot-8-inch South Whidbey senior Zach Comfort, who stood five inches taller than the tallest Cougar because 6-foot6-inch senior center Dustin Stanton was still recovering from an injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew Comfort would be tough, so we tried to keep the ball out of his hands,â&#x20AC;? Lakewood coach Matt Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But he still had 14 points (and nine rebounds).â&#x20AC;?

Freshman guard Paul Coleman connected on three three-pointers and freshman guard Ryan Alford hit a jumper from the top of the key in the first quarter to kickstart Lakewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack.

The Falcons worked the ball to Comfort on the inside to make Lakewood cheat down and create open looks from the outside.

Lakewood leapt to slow him down and earn his points at

the free throw line.

Lakewood led 20-13 after the first quarter.

The Cougars were quicker than the Falcons, swarming to rebounds and pushing the ball up the floor to make the post-happy Falcons play faster than they preferred. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fast pace is part of what we want to do this year,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily, it worked out tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Alford drove the lane from the top of the key and found junior forward Justin Peterson beneath the basket when South Whidbey players stepped up to slow the penetration.

Comfort found the ball enough to keep the offense alive and Falcon defenders took charges on defense when Lakewood made aggressive cuts on the way to the basket. They broke Lakewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full-court press with ping-ponging passes to get behind the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense that pursued the ball.

Turpin blocked Cougar freshman guard Hunter Fritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point shot from the top of the key with one second left in the half, at which Lakewood led 27-21.

Greenburg and Matheson stayed strong, bearing down in the key to help their guards keep the offense running and close the door on Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passes to the inside.

Fortunately, enough of Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perimeter shots fell to give the Eagles a 28-27 lead heading into halftime.

A difficult first half did not discourage Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post play, instead they stuck to their guns and forced Shorecrestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scrappy defense to stop their triangle attack.

Low post collisions beneath both baskets created numerous free throw opportunities for both squads.

The Scots countered the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; power game with a faster pace to run the floor and keep the Eagles offbalance, but Eagle senior guard Megan Abdo hit a defiant three-pointer, one

of Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seven triples in the game, to keep the Arlington crowd energized.

Shorecrest led 33-32 midway through the third quarter.

Van Loo and Winterrowd battled Greenburg and Matheson in the paint as the game gravitated toward a low post war before the third quarter ended with the Scots leading 43-38.

Shorewood entered a 1-3-1 zone early in the

final quarter to neutralize Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post players and keep the Eagles on the perimeter. Arlington switched to a full-court press to create turnovers and score easy buckets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defensive intensity really picked up in the fourth quarter,â&#x20AC;? Abdo said.

The Scotsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shots kept falling, but Shorecrest put the Eagles on the free throw line again and again, allowing them to hang around,

but Matheson stepped up in the paint and tangled with Eagle drivers.

Shorecrest led 52-45 with four minutes left in the fourth quarter.

The Scots missed free throws here and there as Arlington had to foul to

keep the clock from running out, but the Eagles could not connect on a flurry of late shots, falling at last, 59-45. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were sitting in a zone and our shots werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t falling,â&#x20AC;? Abdo said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to attack the rim and break through.â&#x20AC;?

Lakewood kept its fullcourt press in the third quarter.

The Falcons switched to a 3-2 zone to keep the Cougars out of the key, but the Cougars paid no mind as they zipped the ball downcourt in transition for quick scores and junior forward Kolby Schueller popped up to nail a jumper from the top of the key to extend their lead to 35-21.

In a late third-quarter timeout Lakewood coach Matt Hart urged his players to get position in front of Comfort and keep him from getting the ball. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to not let him catch the ball by fronting him and making him pass instead of shooting,â&#x20AC;? Hart said.

They did just that as Peterson and the defense opened up a 41-29 advantage when they outrebounded the Falcons, jumped in front of Comfort and sped the other way down the court before South Whidbey players could get back on defense.

The Cougars continued their fleet-footed attack in the fourth quarter and emerged with a 58-47 win.

Alford and senior forward Zach Smith led the Cougars in scoring with 14 points each. Coleman finished with 11 points and an assist. Peterson totaled nine points, six rebounds and eight steals.

AHS robotics team shows off skills ARLINGTON — The Arlington Public Schools’ NeoBots 2903 FIRST Robotics team was recently selected as one of 12 schools’ teams from around the world to conduct a beta test using the Kinect game system.

Students from the Arlington NeoBots team have been working closely with their mentors in the Arlington School District, Boeing and Microsoft to develop a software operating system that would allow the Kinect system to operate the NeoBots robot. Through several weeks of software programming and testing with the robotic hardware, the students were able to get their robot to interact with the Kinect system.

The Arlington NeoBot team presented their Kinect beta project at the DigiPen Campus on Nov. 12 to FIRST Robotics teams from throughout the Puget Sound region, and conducted a

demonstration during this training session.

On Nov. 17, eight of the Arlington NeoBot students were invited by the Director of Academic Programs at Microsoft to demonstrate their Kinect beta findings at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond.

“The NeoBot students put together an exceptional demonstration of their discoveries between the Kinect game system and the robot,” said Andrea Conley, public information officer for the Arlington Public Schools.

“Employees from Microsoft, international journalists from around the world and Alex Kipman, one of the inventors of the Kinect game system, were provided with amazing educational interactive demonstrations by the NeoBot students. Several of the international journalists, plus Kipman, were actually given the opportunity to drive the robot using the Kinect game

system that the NeoBot students developed. It was an incredible opportunity for our students to show off their stuff, and they were so excited about getting to demonstrate what they had developed.”

On Nov. 22, the Arlington NeoBot team had the opportunity to demonstrate its robot with the employees from C&D Zodiac in Marysville, who have sponsored the team by contributing financial assistance, field trip opportunities and manufacturing engineer mentors for the students.

“This has been an incredible partnership and our students had a wonderful time getting to show off their Kinect discoveries,” Conley said.

Phillips, who works as a security officer at the Tulalip Casino and Resort, said he is most proud of his commitment to fiscal stability and accountability in how city dollars have been spent, and serving the citizens with integrity. He added that as having been a small business owner himself, he worked to minimize the impacts of policy decisions on small business owners.

Phillips received his Advanced Municipal Leadership Certification from the Association of Washington Cities in 2011.

MARYSVILLE — Lee Phillips, who at age 23 was elected to the City Council to become its youngest member on record, is stepping down at the end of the year after a decade of distinguished public service to spend more time with family and write the next chapter in his life.

“It has truly been an honor to serve Marysville citizens and employees,” Phillips said recently. “I was humbled to be elected at a young age, but took the vote of confidence seriously, and hit the ground running.”

He and his wife and daughters Caitlyn, 3, and Madailien, 1, plan to move in a few years to their 30-acre ranch in Eastern Washington, so another four-year term wasn’t in the cards, said Phillips.

Former longtime Planning Commissioner Steve Muller will assume Phillips’ seat in January after voters elected him in November.

Phillips served on the Finance Committee, Public Safety Committee, Cable TV Advisory Committee and Library Board and chaired the Hotel-Motel Tax Grant Fund Committee for each of his years on the Council.

The latter committee has recommended various tourism-related projects for grant funding that by 2011

MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Marysville Community Food Bank received two gifts for the holidays from Roy Robinson Chevrolet on Dec. 1.

Roy Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gordon Bjorg Sr. and Gordon Bjorg Jr. arrived at the food bank that afternoon to present its volunteer coordinator, JoAnn Sewell, with 171 pounds of food and a check for $2,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last couple of years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given them about $2,000 to $2,200,â&#x20AC;? Gordon â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gordyâ&#x20AC;? Bjorg Sr. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In previous years, we teamed up to donate $10 for every car we sold to them and other area food banks, but this year, we kept it local.â&#x20AC;?

Sewell noted that the heating costs alone for the food bank during the winter months makes Roy Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial donation especially valuable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest need remains more volunteers, though,â&#x20AC;?

Sewell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gordyâ&#x20AC;? Bjorg echoed Sewell by encouraging community members to volunteer at the food bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an enlightening experience,â&#x20AC;? Bjorg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing all those people in need, standing shoulder to shoulder, gives you a whole different outlook.â&#x20AC;?

The Bjorgs added that Roy Robinson is continuing to collect for the food bank, and will probably wind up chipping in some hams as well.

A Final Farewell USS Abraham Lincoln leaves Naval Station Everett for the last time kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

EVERETT — Compared to the crowds who had cheered their return just a few months ago, relatively few families stood on the pier to say farewell to their sailors, since most had already said their goodbyes before that point.

Still, it was no small

number of siblings, parents, spouses and other loved ones who marked the final departure of USS Abraham Lincoln from Naval Station Everett by braving the cold rain to see the ship pull out of port on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 7.

sailors with whom she’s become friends in the three years since her brother, Adam Taylor, has served on board the Lincoln.

“This was his first and only duty station in the Navy,” Malan said. “It was great, because he got to spend so much time at home with the family. We were even able to take in other sailors who were further away from their homes during the holidays. It was nice just to be able to have him around as often as I did to give him hugs.”

Taylor will soon be departing the fleet to start college, so Malan won’t be missing him for too long, but she regrets the bonds that she’ll be losing with her brother’s shipmates.

“I’ve made a lot of friends on that ship that I’ll probably never see again,” Malan said. “We became like family. We were there for each other to the point that you

Marysville’s Lakey Malan, left, talks on the phone with her brother, USS Abraham Lincoln sailor Adam Taylor, while their friend, Navy Airman Terrence Jackson, films his ship’s final farewell to Naval Station Everett on Dec. 7. could call at 3 in the morning and know that you’d do whatever for each other. It’s hard when you get attached like that.”

Navy wives Shannon Huff and Danielle Sawicki also made Marysville their home while their husbands served on board the Lincoln. While Huff was an Oregon native who was well acclimated to the Pacific Northwest, Sawicki came from New York, but both agreed that the local community made them feel right at home.

“It was so supportive and welcoming,” Sawicki said.

“This is a very militaryfriendly area,” Huff said.

The Lincoln had just returned to Everett this March, and Huff lamented that she would again be missing her husband, Mitchell, over the holidays, especially since they have a newborn baby, the family’s first child.

Sawicki joked that she and her husband, Phil, only have a dog as their “child.” While Sawicki will soon be moving to Virginia, where the Lincoln will be home-ported after it completes its routine deployment, Huff isn’t sure how long her husband will have to be a “geographic bachelor” before she can join him.

“It’s the Navy, and it is what it is,” Huff said. “You have a couple of days of sad, then you buck up, deal with it and move on.”

“As a Navy wife, you kind of know what you’re signing up for, but it’s never easy,” Sawicki said. “It’s for the greater good, though.”

Naval Station Everett Executive Officer Cmdr.

Dan Limberg was on the

pier to see the Lincoln off, and noted that the transition between the Lincoln and its replacement, the USS Nimitz, which he anticipated would arrive around February of next year, is more complex than civilians might realize.

“We’ve got a lot of Lincoln families who are still living in the area, waiting for when their sailors get orders to somewhere else,” Limberg said. “I’m sure we’ll see a lot of them coming back to the area as they get opportunities to serve on the Nimitz.

We’ve also got some Nimitz families who are already living in the area, both on base and out in the community.

Either way, the community’s support makes a big difference. This is some of the best community support I’ve seen in 23 years.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring reflected on how much the Lincoln has meant to his city since the carrier’s arrival in 1997.

“Lincoln families are a significant segment of our community’s population, for reasons ranging from affordable housing and a family-friendly culture to proximity to both Naval Station Everett and the Commissary/PX in north Marysville,” Nehring said.

“Sailors aboard the Lincoln and their families have contributed in so many positive ways to the social and cultural fabric of Marysville, and we are a better community because of their contributions.”

“It has been a joy to have the families of the USS Lincoln in our community,” Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson said. “These sailors and their families have given much of themselves to help make Arlington a better place. We will truly miss each and every one of them. At the same time, we are excited to build similar partnerships with the families of the USS Nimitz.”

After first arriving at Naval Station Everett in 1997, the USS Abraham Lincoln departed Dec. 7 for its final deployment, before it pulls into its new homeport in Virginia. The carrier will be replaced by the USS Nimitz, which is expected to arrive in Everett by late February or March.
