ARLINGTON — Not only did Annaka and Julian Garcia find out that their baby will be a girl, but they also got to see her in a new dimension.

Annaka is 19 weeks pregnant, so she’s not quite as far along in her pregnancy as the window of 25 to 30 weeks of pregnancy that’s considered ideal for viewing on the upgraded machine, but the Cascade Valley Hospital’s 4-D ultrasound nonetheless gave her and Julian the opportunity to see their daughter moving on the screen as Annaka felt the baby moving around inside of her.

Jennifer Egger, community relations coordinator for Cascade Valley Hospital, explained that time is con-

sidered the fourth dimension with the 4-D ultrasound, which lets parents see their babies moving in real time.

This technology upgrade took place last year, and while the $112,000 ultrasound machine can perform diagnostic functions, its 4-D viewings are not diagnostic in and of themselves, since they don’t provide the medical screening information required by healthcare providers in the second trimester of a pregnancy. “It’s simply to allow parents to bond with their babies before they’re born,�

Egger said. “It lets you see the structure and shape of your baby’s face and body in clearer detail than on the standard ultrasound.�

ARLINGTON — “It’s wonderful to see so many people here on a night when we’re not talking about the budget,� newly swornin Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert said at the Jan. 3 Arlington City Council meeting. “This is your Council.�

While incumbent Council members Steve Baker, Dick Butner, Marilyn Oertle and Chris Raezer once again recited their oaths of office, which fellow Council member Debora Nelson had already delivered for the first time on Nov. 21 of last year, the Council’s first meeting of the New Year also marked the first swearings-in of Council members Ken Klein and Randy Tendering, as well as Tolbert herself.

Because it’s not considered a medically necessary procedure, it’s typically not covered by health insurance, but Egger explained that the hospital allows people to buy the procedure as a gift for others. “It’d make for a cool baby shower present,�

Egger said.

Robin Rice, the sonographer, was able to tell the Garcia, who are fellow Cascade Valley Hospital employees, that their baby girl weighs approximately 10 ounces now. “Sometimes I get as excited as the moms,� Rice said. “It’s great to be able to guide them through the viewing and show them their babies’ littles noses and arms, as they wiggle around.� “They’re so flexible,� Annaka laughed. “When I felt her moving inside of me before, I wondered what parts of her were moving where. Seeing her move on the screen at the same time that I feel her moving inside of me is an absolutely wonderful experience.�

The 4-D ultrasound is available by appointment one Saturday per month, with the next available appointment day set for Jan. 21, the same day that the Cascade Valley Hospital Family Birthing Center is open for tours. “We’ve expanded our pre- and post-natal care with childbirth classes, car seat checks and lactation services,� Egger said. “Our labor and delivery unit has been completely remodeled. We’re bringing all these services together.�

As of Wednesday, Jan. 4, Egger reported that the Cascade Valley Hospital was still waiting for its first New Year’s baby, which she believes is the longest wait they’ve ever had. When this year’s

Not only has Nelson stepped down as president of the Downtown Arlington Business Association to serve on the Council, but she was also appointed on Jan. 3 to serve as the city of Arlington’s representative to Community Transit. While the time commitments of her new roles include plenty of homework outside of the meetings, Nelson credited the flexibility of her work schedule as a private business owner with helping her balance her responsibilities. “I knew it would be a steep learning curve for the first six months, and I was right,� Nelson said. “I carry a notepad with me wherever I go, so I can listen and take notes.�

Nelson looks forward to developing relationships that foster teamwork with her fellow Council members, as well as serving the citizens of Arlington. “I enjoy new adventures and this will be a grand year for learning new things,� Nelson said.

Klein had already been attending all the Council meetings through the past year, but like Nelson, he looks forward to representing Arlington at regional meetings and promoting its values.

Like Tolbert, he was also excited to see so many people at the Jan. 3 Council meeting and he encouraged everyone in Arlington to attend and take part in the city’s governance. “We have a terrific group of Council members, each with our own ideas

4-D ultrasound images not only offer greater detail of children in the womb, but also move in real time. babies arrive, though, they and their families will be treated to birthing suites which boast chairs and couches for dad and other relatives to sleep in comfortably, and which also serve as labor, delivery and postpartum recovery rooms. “We offer really personalized care,� said Dawn Dixon, a veteran labor and delivery nurse at the Cascade Valley Hospital. “Our numbers aren’t spread thin, so we can be very close with our patients, and they usually choose to come back here. When our nurses come here, they tend to stay here for a long time. I delivered some of our patients as babies, and now they’re coming back to us as mothers.�

and concerns, but what we have in common is our love for the city,� Klein said. “I expect that the new mayor and Council will meet these challenging times with thoughtful policy decisions and effective management, always keeping the well-being of all the citizens of Arlington at the forefront of our minds.�

Tolbert agreed that everyone on the Council is interested in scaling those challenges and finding opportunities for Arlington’s future. She’s had to end her involvement in the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Committee and the Arlington Airport Commission, but modern technology has allowed her to balance her commitments to the city and the Fly-In. “The biggest adjustment so far is blending two separate calendars,�

Tolbert said. “I’ve been delighted to see how much everyone is willing to participate in making Arlington a great city. The reception I’ve had from the Council, staff and citizens couldn’t be more welcoming.�

Tolbert pledged to open up more lines of communication through social media, to aid her in representing the city’s interests on a more regional platform. She already has her own Facebook page, through which she’ll help get the word out about the city’s events and progress on various issues. “My wish is for it to be another tool for citizens to see their elected officials in action, and to seek information they may need,� Tolbert said.

State Supreme Court rules on education funding

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

OLYMPIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The state Legislature faces a roughly $2 billion budget shortfall with its session that started Jan. 9, but before they consider any more cuts to education, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to keep in mind the Washington State Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-2 decision in McCleary v. Washington, issued on Jan. 5, which ruled that the Legislature has not complied with its constitutional duty to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make ample provision for the basic education of all children in Washington.â&#x20AC;?

While the Court deferred to the Legislature to determine how to meet this constitutional duty, it retained jurisdiction over the case to â&#x20AC;&#x153;facilitate progress in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to fully implement the reforms by 2018.â&#x20AC;? This represents the culmination of a case thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been working its way through the legal system since a coalition of Washington teachers, school districts, community groups and parents filed it in King County Superior Court in 2007, alleging that the state had not fulfilled its constitutional obligation to fully fund basic education, and had instead relied too heavily on local levy funding assistance.

Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock was part of that lawsuit, and he was gratified that this ruling was issued before start of the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest session. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a judicial standpoint, this obviously amplifies the importance of meeting our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitutional requirement of ample funding for basic education, so hopefully

the Legislature should be able to fully fund it through dependable sources.â&#x20AC;?

In its Jan. 5 ruling, the Court recognized the Legislature had enacted â&#x20AC;&#x153;a promising reform packageâ&#x20AC;? in its 2009 education reform bill and indicated that this legislation, if funded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;will remedy deficiencies in the K-12 funding system.â&#x20AC;?

Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland, who was also part of the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools lawsuit, likewise described himself as hopeful, but sounded a more cautious note. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the third time in my career that what the state has done has been found unconstitutional,â&#x20AC;? Nyland chuckled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fix it, and I hope theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll fix it soon, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not counting the money just yet. The Legislature still has big problems to solve, and they set aside plans for last year that they found they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford. With the stipulation that the funding has to be increased by 2018, that also opens it up to exactly what this decision means. I hope it means good news for next year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; either no cuts, or substantially fewer cuts than the $6 million theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about for Marysville just next year. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on this solving all our budget woes.â&#x20AC;?

Nyland acknowledged that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finances are limited, but argued that this should result in the funding for other areas, which arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mandated by the state constitution, being voted on instead.

State Rep. Dan Kristiansen echoed Nylandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities, elaborating that he hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been able to support the state House bill in 2009, in spite

got gas?

of agreeing with many of its reforms, because it did not outline how to fund its policy changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an empty promise,â&#x20AC;?

Kristiansen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you look at where the governor wants to go in 2012 with education money, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically buying back cuts with sales tax increases. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backwards to me, because education should be the first thing weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re funding, not the last.

In a $32 billion state budget, there are so many things that we fund that have absolutely nothing to do with our state constitution. Whether we agree with it or not, as state Legislators, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all sworn to uphold that constitution, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask voters if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be willing to be taxed for other expenditures.â&#x20AC;?

Arlington School District Superintendent Dr. Kristine McDuffy nonetheless expressed pleasure with the Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling and noted that Arlington was one of the first school districts to get involved in the NEWS suit four years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This ruling clearly articulates the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paramount duty to fully fund basic education,â&#x20AC;? McDuffy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions reflect the high courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basic education has pretty clearly been underfunded or inappropriately funded for far too long,â&#x20AC;? Haddock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been awaiting this outcome for a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Although the Washington Education Association is still reviewing all the details, WEA President Mary Lindquist declared that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is no doubtâ&#x20AC;? that the state Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to uphold the lower courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling in

McCleary v. Washington is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a huge victory for Washington children and public education.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Supreme Court reaffirmed what the WEA and its partners in the Network for Excellence in Washington Schools have argued for so long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; public education in Washington is woefully underfunded,â&#x20AC;? Lindquist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This means students and schools can no longer bear the impact of further cuts to public education funding.â&#x20AC;?

Like Haddock, Lindquist appreciated that this decision preceded the start of the state Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 session, because she believes it puts the responsibility for correcting the underfunding â&#x20AC;&#x153;where it belongs,â&#x20AC;? with the Legislature itself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Legislature can no

longer punt on full funding for public education,â&#x20AC;?

Lindquist said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to act immediately to remedy this injustice against our children and students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state appealed this case to the Supreme Court to receive clarification and direction to guide the Legislature in meeting its constitutional duty, and this decision is helpful,â&#x20AC;? state Attorney General Rob McKenna said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased the Court continues to recognize the primary role of the Legislature in determining how to meet its constitutional duty, and that the Court recognizes the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress in fulfilling the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation in passing its 2009 education reforms.â&#x20AC;?

The case was argued before the Washington State

Supreme Court on June 28, 2011, by Senior Counsel Bill Clark, after being argued before the King County Superior Court in 2009. In 2010, the trial judge directed the Legislature to conduct a study to establish the cost of providing all Washington children with a basic education, and to establish how it would fully fund such education with stable and dependable state sources. The state Supreme Court rejected these directions by the lower court, finding that the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation of recently approved education reforms satisfied the requirements to establish a plan for determining the cost of a basic education, and would meet the constitutional obligation to fund basic education, if adequately funded.

What I learned A

s we start yet another new year filled with possibility and challenge, I find myself reflecting on the many lessons learned this past year from stories of diversity and inclusion.

More than anything, I learned a new way of seeing beyond the commonly used label “disability.” Everyone I know uses this word, usually with the best of intentions. I use it myself. But labels are almost never useful; they diminish people and create hurtful if unintended boundaries.

Perhaps a better way of seeing each other — more accurate, more useful, and more compassionate than a label — is to think of ourselves and everyone around us as uniquely complex bundles of human characteristics, with some characteristics expressed more and others expressed less or not at all in gloriously infinite combination. Given that we are all so different, yet in our difference so very much alike, who can say where to draw the line between one label and another?

Take, for example, another key insight from this year. I learned how much people of all abilities need to be loved and wanted, and what their experiences in the thorny realm of romantic relationships can teach us. I was so moved by the recent newspaper account of Jack and Kirsten — one with Asperger syndrome, the other with a mild form of autism — as

GUEST OPINION TOM EVERILL PRESIDENT & CEO OF NORTHWEST CENTER they work through the tribulations of young love.

“She was the only girl to have ever asked questions about his obsessive interests — chemistry, libertarian politics, the small drone aircraft he was building in his kitchen — as though she actually cared to hear his answer,” according to the article. He was the first boy who didn’t try to improve her social skills or probe endlessly into her innermost feelings which, as they are for so many people on the autism spectrum, are all but completely inexpressible for her. “It’s like the blue screen of death,” she tried to explain to a former boyfriend.

“There are no words there.”

So Jack bites his lip, not being sure how to arrange his face to show his emotions. And Kirsten cracks her knuckles in public, a substitute for the hand-flapping that comforts her when alone.

No problem at all. Kirsten “knew only that she felt as if she had found her soulmate” when she met Jack. As Kirsten explained to a recent forum for special needs teenagers, “Parents always ask, ‘Who would like to marry my kid? They’re so weird.’ But, like, another weird person, that’s who.”

Arlington School District sends levy to voters

A

rlington School District is one of 295 school districts in the state of Washington.

While each district is unique in its demographics, needs, community support and funding issues, there are many laws and regulations that govern how all districts are managed. During the current economic times, school districts are challenged to meet the many educational requirements while experiencing diminishing resources.

The Washington State Constitution establishes the education of all children as the paramount duty of the state. It requires the state to make ample provision for a uniform system of public schools.To carry out its constitutional responsibility, the state

GUEST OPINION DEBORAH BORGENS dedicates almost half of all state General Fund resources to support of the public schools.

School districts account for the day-to-day maintenance and operations of the district in their General Fund. Other funds are used to account for specialized activities.

These include the Capital Projects Fund for the acquisition of land, equipment, and facilities; the Debt Service Fund for redemption of

bonds and payment of interest; the Transportation Vehicle Fund for the acquisition and maintenance of pupil transportation equipment; the Associated Student Body Fund for student activities; and Trust Funds for donations dedicated for specific uses.

Last school year, Arlington School District received 66.5 percent of its General Fund revenue from the state allocation. These funds are used for Basic Education, Special Education, and Career and Technical Education. In addition, the district received 8.6 percent of its General Fund operating revenue from federal sources and the local programs and operations levy SEE ASD, PAGE 5

he Marysville School District has a one-time opportunity to use the remaining 2006 school construction funds to qualify for $8 million in state funding for a bus transportation cooperative — a partnership between two or more districts. Marysville’s current transportation site is inadequate for present and future needs. Good stewardship of district funds, together with a favorable construction market and state support, provides an opportunity to meet critical needs at less cost to local taxpayers.

Why Transportation? We currently service, dispatch, park and maintain 100 buses at the district service center. Underground fuel tanks are wearing out. Our bus wash facility is inadequate; water and soap

GUEST OPINION DR. LARRY NYLAND from hundreds of bus washes per week go directly into the ground without recycling. This is costly, time consuming, and does not meet minimum basic requirements.

Stretching Local Funds: After meeting — and exceeding — the 2006 bond issue promises, about $5.5 million remains in the construction fund. While this is not enough to replace a school ($20 million), with state help it may be enough to address our transportation needs.

State law states these dollars can be spent only on construction — they can’t be used to cover state cuts to the day to day operating budget. $8 Million in State Funding: The state has one-time money remaining in their capital construction account.

They will provide $8 million in state support for a transportation co-op — a partnership between two or more districts. By working with neighboring districts we would be able to share in the cost of routing buses, lowering the cost of fuel, and providing parts and maintenance for our bus fleets as well as solving the bus wash and fuel tank issues.

MSD FROM PAGE 4 completed all of the work promised in the 2006 bond issue. Grove Elementary and Getchell High School were completed on time and under budget. All other bond commitments — land, small projects, and technology — have also been completed. In each case, we have been able to do more than we promised. Nearly $8 million in small projects have helped keep our older schools going — with projects like the Pinewood sewer, electrical panel fixes at MMS, and heating and ventilation improvements in many schools.

Stewardship: Marysville also completed new schools for Heritage, A&T and 10th Street with NO local property taxes. This project was funded entirely through mitigation fees (on newly

We now have new and improved classrooms that will serve 700 Marysville students for many years to come — without increasing property taxes.

Citizen Oversight Committee: A committee of eight citizens with extensive community and construction expertise provide “oversight” of district construction projects. They have helped us stretch our local construction funds.

Now, as we near the end of the 2006 bond funding, the oversight committee has helped us consider remaining district needs.

Best Investment? We have set aside $500,000 for school construction emergencies (heaters, plumbing, electrical) and bond repayments. For technology we have set aside $800,000 more

than promised, however bond dollars can buy only equipment, not tech support.

After planning for these contingencies, $5.5 million remains. These dollars cannot be used to balance the day-to-day operations budget and is not enough to build a new school. Using these remaining funds for a transportation co-op will meet a critical district need and stretch local tax dollars by qualifying for $8 million in state support. We would avoid expensive repairs, prepare now for future growth, and create lots of local construction jobs.

Next Steps: We will ask the Citizens’ Oversight Committee for a recommendation, hold a public forum in conjunction with our Citizens’ Planning Committee, schedule a public hearing at an upcoming board meeting and then ask the school board to take

Meeting Needs: If all of these pieces fall into place and state approval is received, construction could start in the fall of 2012. We would meet critical transportation needs, solve environmental issues, create local construction dollars and stretch local tax dollars one more time to do even more than promised.

clean, that she got a drink.”

Despite many challenges, they enjoyed life — racing against each other in their wheelchairs, going to the circus, watching wrestling matches on television.

The doctor who cared for Noemi until she died last year noted that “Edwin is like a 10-year-old who tries to act like what he thinks a man should be.

But he was doing it better than any man could.”

Where is the line here between normal and disabled, and why do we waste time working on what is clearly the wrong question? We are all bundles of human

potential, whether that potential be for learning, for work, or for love. Jack and Kirsten face the same issues all couples face; only the details are different.

Edwin and Noemi model what marriage can be in its purest form, a benchmark of love despite the wheelchairs and adult diapers — or perhaps because of them.

Our very differences speak to what we all have in common, to our essence, and help every one of us understand what it means to be human.

This is the power of diversity, that it throws the human condition into high

relief, bringing a clarity we so urgently need as we face the complex challenges of the 21st Century.

Best wishes for a richly rewarding New Year.

funded 21.2 percent of General fund operations.

The other 3.8 percent of the district’s revenue came from fees, such as school lunches, and other local revenue.

The Arlington School District spends 92.6 percent of its operating budget directly on student learning. The largest expenditure area for Arlington School District is in the area of instruction. About 69.1 percent of all expenditures are for teaching and the classroom, while another 6.7 percent is spent on administering the school buildings. The cost of operating, upkeep and management of school buildings and facilities accounts for 8.0 percent of all expenditures. And, the cost of transporting students by bus accounts for 5.5 percent of all district spending. Providing 805,353 breakfasts and lunches for approximately 5,400 students is another 3.3 percent of the General Fund budget.

Not included in the above descriptions of student learning activities costs are the expenses needed to provide direct

support to schools, such as the district office, records management, health services, student activities and athletics and family communication. These costs account for 7.4 percent of the General Fund expenditures.

On February 14, the district has a Replacement of Expiring Program and Operations Levy measure on the ballot. This local funding, as noted above, supports over 21 percent of our General Fund programs and operations.

Adequate funding to continue to give the students of Arlington the best education possible continues to be a significant challenge and concern. These are uncertain economic times for everyone and the district relies heavily on local funding for continued stability. The Arlington community has always shown great support for our schools and the district is committed to earning that trust by being good stewards of its resources.

Lakewood delays school levies

LAKEWOOD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lakewood School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two levies that had been slated for the Feb. 14 ballot are instead expected to appear on the April 17 ballot.

Last year, the Lakewood School District Board of Directors authorized placing two measures on the Feb. 14 ballot â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Proposition One, the replacement school programs and operations levy,

7H`PUN 6\[ <W [V 4PSSPVU PU 1HU\HY`

and Proposition Two, the capital projects and technology levy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but according to Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock, the records of the Snohomish County Auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reflect any receipt of the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolutions, which were required to be received by a certain date for those measures to be placed on the Feb. 14 ballot. As such, Haddock will be recommending to the Board that both propositions be placed on the April 17 ballot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We followed our regular mailing procedures,â&#x20AC;?

Haddock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send it certified mail, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any confirmation. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be doing that this time.â&#x20AC;?

Haddock explained that this unexpected turn of events should actually benefit the Lakewood School District in a few ways, not in the least because moving the two levies onto the April 17 ballot will allow voters in the school district to focus more on those levies, and the district itself to keep an eye on the latest developments in Olympia that might impact those levies.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;By deferring this to a later date, we can be more watchful of the Legislative activity that might be affecting our revenues,â&#x20AC;?

Haddock said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The governor is focusing on budget reductions for the state, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also looking into areas of revenue as well. That additional time allows us to factor in revenue from other sources, and to check whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in education funding in general.â&#x20AC;?

Haddock also looks forward to having two more months to inform voters about the propositions before their ballots are due.

ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cascade Valley Hospital held its latest blood drive, in partnership with the Puget Sound Blood Center, on Dec. 30 to give Arlington residents another chance to give blood before the end of the year.

The drives occur once every three months, from noon to 6 p.m., so that donors can give blood on their way home from work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. but people wanted it pushed back to fit their work schedules,â&#x20AC;? Community Relations Coordinator Jenny Egger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the Puget Sound Blood Center.â&#x20AC;?

Egger wore a pink Breast Cancer Awareness lanyard lined with Cascade Valley Hospital, Relay for Life and Heart Health Awareness pins to show her support for healthy living and generous giving.

Dr. Tim Richards, part of the Puget Sound Blood Center staff that facilitates the donations, has worked in blood drives for 17 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Skagit Valley Hospital itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good and busy,â&#x20AC;? Richards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is probably the busiest we get.â&#x20AC;?

The hospital spread word about the drive through emails and on Facebook within the community. The average blood drive has

Egger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so many employees help out and it means a lot to people. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited because the employees are so into it.â&#x20AC;?

Arlington resident Kathy Freeman donates blood as

often as she can. She started in 1975 around the time her mother died of cancer and Freeman realized how valuable blood is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given a lot,â&#x20AC;? Freeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have a lot left, though.â&#x20AC;?

Egger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually hard to convince men to give blood. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be interested in seeing how many more women than men they bring in.â&#x20AC;?

Cascade Valley storekeeper Ginny Sullivan, who receives, distributes and sometimes orders supplies, has given blood steadily for four years.

The blood donation process is very simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and it takes 20 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good karma.

At first youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a little lightheaded afterward, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably more from lying down so long. Then you hang out, rest for 10 or 20 minutes, visit with fellow donors and you get a free cookie.â&#x20AC;?

Those who would like to give blood in the future can check for upcoming blood drives and make appointments at www.facebook. com/cascadevalley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a small town,â&#x20AC;?

Egger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your nurse could be your neighbor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to home and close to the heart. Three or four generations of families were born in this hospital.â&#x20AC;?

‘Healthiest You’ helps community get in shape

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Local businesses have teamed up to help people in the Arlington community get into the best shape of their lives.

Healthiest You, a weight loss competition inspired by “The Biggest Loser” and sponsored by 15 businesses including Absolute Air Park, Mountain State Fitness and Stroller Strides, is an eightweek event in which the community can sign up and get fit over eight weeks. The first week’s challenge calls for each contestant to drink half of his or her body weight in ounces of water.

Healthiest You’s event on Facebook attracted nearly 30 people. Some are joining the competition with pre-formed teams of two to four people each, but teams will be formed for those without partners. Contestants are invited to work out in classes with sponsors of Healthiest You. Prizes from the sponsors include two three-month packages from Stillaguamish Athletic Club and photography packages for post-contest beauty shots with Brittany Masella Photography. The

grand prize is $250 in cash from Gutierrez Family Chiropractic.

GFC will also provide massages and laser package vouchers.

“It’s only eight weeks, so people won’t drop out,” GFC manager Emily Davidson said. “We’ll keep them interested with teams and prizes.”

Teams will be subjected to weekly updates on weight loss progress so they can gauge what is or isn’t working.

GFC spread word of Healthiest You through Facebook, word-ofmouth and posters in sponsors’ offices.

Emily Peterson, who owns the “A Beautiful Addiction” tanning salon in Arlington, took part in GFC’s Ideal Protein diet before becoming a sponsor. Two members of her “Chubby Buddies” Healthiest You team started the diet and have already lost weight.

MARYSVILLE — As state Rep. Kirk Pearson heads into his sixth term, he reflected on recent changes and upcoming challenges facing both the Legislature and its constituents.

By his reckoning, he lost part of Marysville in the redistricting, but he still represents Marysville and Arlington citizens.

“I’m happy that I didn’t lose a lot,” Pearson said.

“I still have essentially the same district as before.”

This year’s state budget promises to be far more difficult. Pearson had hoped to handle most of it during the special session, which only resolved a portion of it, but he encouraged citizens not to mistake the political processes of Washington state for Washington, D.C. “The state Legislature recognizes that we’re all in this together,” said Pearson, a member of the Republican minority in the state House of Representatives. “It’s not about election ploys for us.

We care about helping the citizens of this state. We do hope the Democrats will take some of our ideas.

We’ve offered some good ideas, and if they could get hearings, that’d be great.”

At the same time, Pearson, a strong advocate of public safety, expressed concerns over proposed cuts to public safety, espe-

“We’re putting our citizens in peril if there’s no safety net to protect them from people who are highly likely to reoffend. Education, the WVMOFSBCMF BOE OFFEZ BOE QVCMJD TBGFUZ BSF areas we can’t play with.”

Rep. Kirk Pearson 39th District cially in areas such as supervision for sex offenders, since hundreds of correctional officers and staff have already been cut in recent years.

“We’re putting our citizens in peril if there’s no safety net to protect them from people who are highly likely to reoffend,” Pearson said. “Education, the vulnerable and needy, and public safety are areas that we can’t play with.”

To that end, Pearson reiterated his support for levy equalization, noting that school districts throughout Snohomish County would be hit disproportionately hard if those dollars were taken away.

“That’s non-negotiable,” Pearson said. “I hope cooler heads prevail, but bottom line, our state’s only mandate is to fund education.”

When considering what combination of cuts and revenue would work best to meet this need, Pearson took exception to how he sees the governor defining “cuts.”

“My definition of a cut

is, if my salary gets reduced by 3 percent, that’s a cut,” Pearson said. “As far as the governor is concerned, if you’re projected to make more money, but you don’t get it, that’s a ‘cut.’ That’s not really a cut, though.”

Pearson also argued that job creation is essential to bolstering the state budget, and cited legislation that he plans to push this year, which hadn’t received a hearing last year, to direct the state government to shop for contracted products and services within its own borders first.

“Even the Department of Corrections buys furniture from out of state,” Pearson said. “I’d rather keep those dollars in the state and put our people first.”

Pearson praised his constituents for supplying him with ideas for legislation, and credited a recent discussion with Cory Duskin, general manager of the Arlington Pharmacy, with educating him about Pharmacy Benefit Managers, third-party administrators of prescrip-

Rep. Kirk Pearson

tion drug programs.

“The PBMs are middlemen who rebate the top products,” Pearson said.

“The Duskins aren’t really on a level playing field with them.”

Pearson is already working on legislation that would establish minimum standards for PBM contracts in Washington state, since they’re the only profession dealing in health care that is not regulated in the state.

“I hear a lot from my constituents in this area, and I hold their opinions in high regard,” Pearson said.

“Because of the Duskins, I’ll be dropping a bill on the floor that could benefit the whole state.”

Another budget-saving measure Pearson is pursuing is the education of state employees to prevent their agencies from being hit with tort judgement.

He cited the $78 million that the state was deemed liable for negligence in the last year alone.

“We have no choice but to balance the budget, so we need to think outside of the box to do it,” Pearson said. “We have an opportunity to run government more efficiently, and we need to be willing to work with each other to do it. Most of the bills that I’ve pushed through over the years, I had to have help from the other side on, because that’s part of being in the minority.

I’ve got a big agenda and I’m going to be hitting the floor running. I’m optimistic. We can’t just fall back on the same-old-same-old, because that’s what’s gotten us to where we’re at right now.”

Eagles drop match to Marysville-Pilchuck

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Eagle wrestling head coach Rick Iversen and his varsity squad hosted Marysville-Pilchuck, led by Rick’s son, head coach Craig Iversen, for a special match on Jan. 4 to open both teams’ Wesco North seasons.

The match started strongly in the Tomahawks’ favor but would turn sharply toward an Arlington comeback that fell just three points shy. The match included a 6-5 M-P pin advantage that made all the difference in the Tomahawks’ 39-36 win.

The result marked the second time that Craig has emerged the winner in the Iversen series. Craig first bested his father as BurlingtonEdison’s coach in 1995 when Rick was the Tomahawks’ head coach.

“I’m exhausted,” Rick Iversen said. “But it was a good night.

Marysville came to compete and they caught us, but if my team loses, my son wins.”

Tomahawk senior 285-pounder Skylar Hatch opened the night with a pin of Eagle senior Dylan Worley

after 1:06.

Eagle freshman 106-pounder Clayton Hunter retaliated with a pin of sophomore Austin Sunseth after 1:20.

M-P junior Jacob Greene put his 112 pounds to work and pinned Arlington sophomore Wes Conley after 58 seconds in the third round.

Tomahawk 120-pound freshman Ryan Daurie pinned Eagle sophomore Skyler Wren in 1:08.

Junior Israel Lopez of M-P pinned 126-pound Eagle junior Jared Brock-Anderson after 44 seconds in the third round.

M-P freshman 132-pounder Killian Page won a 9-6 decision against sophomore Bryce Thomas to remain undefeated on the season.

Arlington trailed 27-6 after Page’s win, but the Eagles came roaring back.

“Our guys rose to the occasion and wanted to win it for Coach,” Arlington assistant coach Barry Knott said. “They approached the dual as a team and applauded their teammates, win or lose, coming off the mat. You don’t get a lot of

matches like this one.”

Eagle 138-pound sophomore Scotty Bardell beat M-P junior Nate Wright in a 10-4 decision.

Arlington junior Jesse Driscoll pinned 145-pound Tomahawk junior Anthony Moffitt in 2:44 to pull the Eagles to within two pins at 27-15.

M-P 152-pounder Drew Hatch pinned Arlington senior Erik Davis after 1:00 to push the Tomahawk lead to 33-15 with five matches remaining.

Eagle senior Brandon Chase earned an 11-5 decision over 160pound Tomahawk junior Jordan Woodin.

Arlington 170-pounder Chris Nelson pinned M-P junior Jake Merrick 58 seconds into the second round.

The Tomahawks lead shrank to 33-24 after Nelson’s display, but M-P 182-pound senior Chris Herbert ended Arlington’s comeback by pinning Eagle freshman Cody Weldon after 28 seconds for a 39-24 lead.

Eagle sophomore Jake Ferro pinned Tomahawk senior 195pound senior Neil Hamilton after

the pin and held on for a 39-36 win.

“We didn’t need a win to feel great, but we probably needed that match to have a winning season,” said Rick Iversen after falling to 4-4 overall.

Arlington continues winning streak

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Eagle girls basketball brought a five-game winning streak home on Jan. 3 as they faced Wesco South opponent Kamiak.

The Eagles had no difficulty with their conference opener as they out-scrapped the Knights for a 70-32 win.

Arlington came out with a full-court press in which junior guard Krista Showalter and senior guard Megan Abdo double-teamed the ball dribbler.

Kamiak kept their motors running to break the press, but not before Arlington scored easy layups in transition.

“This is a good league,” said Arlington head coach Joe Marsh of the Eagle attack. “If you give them confidence, they’ll come back, and we’ve got all league games from here on out.”

Senior guard Kaiti Ferro and junior forward Lindsay Brown tortured Kamiak in the post.

Showalter took advantage of the sagging defense and attacked the basket off the dribble. Showalter stole the ball and senior guard Lauren Grogan hit a threepointer from the left shoulder.

Senior center Danyell

Winterrowd scored off of a Showalter zip pass through the key. Brown chased a rebound to the wing and found Winterrowd open beneath the basket for a lay-in. Abdo surged down the lane, drawing fouls as Kamiak stepped up to challenge her.

Arlington led 22-11 at the end of the first quarter after keeping Kamiak out of the paint and forcing quick jumpers. They out-hustled Kamiak to loose balls and rebounds.

Showalter earned free throws by going in strong to the basket.

Brown posted up in the paint and found Abdo cutting down the middle.

Kamiak took up a full-court press to slow the Eagle pace, but Grogan hit a three from the right shoulder, stole the ensuing inbound pass and passed to Brown in the high post who found Abdo for a layup.

Complete rebounding domination put the Eagles up 33-18 at halftime.

Arlington kept their press to begin the second half. They overwhelmed Kamiak the first time, but Kamiak created a fast break on the next trip down the court. Senior guard Jensen Evans drew a foul with a strong

drive and Ferro became an enforcer on defense, smacking down Kamiak layups and stuffing lay-ins. She grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a put-back to force a Kamiak timeout, up 42-18, with 5:09 left in the third quarter.

The Eagles went to their grind-it-out post game with Ferro to put the squeeze on the Kamiak defense that had not stopped her all night. Grogan put the Knights in a catch-22 by nailing two three-pointers from the right shoulder in a row. She connected on a putback and junior guard Winter Brown nailed a buzzer-beating three to end the third quarter, in which they outscored Kamiak 29-5, with a 62-23 lead.

The fourth quarter was exactly like the first three. Grogan and Brown hit a three-pointer each before Arlington slowed down their attack with lots of passing to run the last seconds off the clock and coast to a 70-32 win.

“I’m really proud,” Marsh said. “We spread the floor and shared the ball so you can’t stop any one person. We like to shoot threes and Lauren ended up with five.”

Eagles drop a close one to Mountain View

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington boys basketball has a knack for dramatic finishes this season, and Dec. 28’s game against visiting Mountain View of Vancouver was no exception.

The Eagles and Thunder treated the Arlington crowd to a three-point battle but it was Mountain View who outlasted Arlington for the 69-62 win.

“They came out in a zone and we went cold in the third quarter,” Arlington head coach Nick Brown said.

“That’s two back-to-back games we’ve gone cold. We missed (junior post) Dan Boyden and we only scored about four points in the quarter.”

Arlington junior guard Terry Dawn hit a pair of three-pointers in the first quarter to start the show and the Eagles earned free throws off of baseline drives.

Quick-handed steals by

both defenses pushed the momentum back and forth across the floor. The Eagles and Thunder split rebounds on offensive glass so consistently that it looked like a single team was playing against itself.

Arlington looked for senior post Bo Brummel down low, but Mountain View sat in a 2-3 zone to keep him from overpowering Thunder defenders.

“We tried to get Bo on the baseline on both sides,” Brown said. “Our posts were in odd spots against the zone. We had players in odd positions all game.”

The Eagles showed a 2-3 zone on defense as well, but Thunder senior guard Nate Bohn hit a three from the left corner and was fouled.

Arlington senior guards Conner Davis and Tanner Goheen and junior guard AJ Passalacqua started canning threes in the second quarter. Bohn and Mountain View junior guard Rock Shill retaliated to start the three-

point shootout.

Sophomore guard Gavin Smoke buried a three as the half expired to cut the Mountain View lead to 43-35.

The Eagles looked to slow down in the third quarter and control the ball. Mountain View was determined to push the ball into the post on offense and outrun the Eagles in transition.

“We had a good shot selection in the third quarter, but they didn’t fall,” Brown said.

“We’re a streaky team. We work for balance, but just went cold.”

Arlington senior guard Marcus Bryson committed his fourth foul early in the third quarter as the Thunder made a 7-1 run, but Davis came off the deep Eagle bench. Davis wasted no time in breaking the Eagles’ dry spell with a three from the left shoulder. The third quarter came to a close, 52-40, in Mountain View’s favor.

“Their backups came off the bench and fought for

loose balls,” said Dawn of Mountain View’s physicality.

Davis hit back-to-back three-pointers to open the fourth quarter and put the offense on his back. The Thunder called a timeout, up 57-48, with 5:21 left in regulation.

Dawn battled Mountain View senior guard Mitch Wallace beneath the basket as Dawn grabbed rebound after rebound and tried to connect on a lay-in, but instead had to face Wallace for a jump ball. Dawn returned with a vengeful, swooping layup on

Arlington’s next trip down the floor.

The Eagles began a fullcourt press down only 60-50 with 3:51 remaining, but the Thunder broke it with slow, wary passing that drew an Arlington foul beneath the basket.

Brummel scored in the post and Dawn connected on a three-pointer to pull within 63-55 after Shill made a pair of free throws.

Dawn missed his next three-pointer but Brummel pulled down the rebound and was fouled as he went for the

put-back. He sank both free throws and Arlington trailed 63-57 with 2:17 left.

The Eagles swung the ball back and forth around the perimeter to find a shot until they found Brummel for a score in the middle of the post. Mountain View led 65-59 with 1:32 left.

Davis hit another three and the home crowd exploded, now trailing only 65-62 with 22.7 seconds left, but Davis’s next three-pointer missed and the Thunder held on with free throws for a 69-62 win.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell looked to improve their execution when they hosted Arlington on Dec. 27, their fourth game against a 4A opponent this season.

Arlington came to town, fresh off of the holiday break, trying to extend their winning streak to four games and avoid complacency through the first of a pair of nonconference games.

“We wanted to keep focused on our skills and practice hard,” Arlington head coach Joe Marsh said.

“It’s always hard to play after Christmas, but we needed to keep at it and get better at what we want to do.”

Getchell showed improvement, as they had in each game this season, but the Eagles pressured the Chargers all night to win their fourth game in a row, 62-13.

Despite the final score, upper-league opponents are necessary tests for this inaugural Charger squad.

“Our effort was excellent, phenomenal,” Getchell head coach Shannon Grandbois said. “This was the best defense we’ve played so far.

Never mind that we have to play so many games against 4A schools. If we can show this kind of effort against teams in our league, we’ll be good.”

The Eagles opened the game with full-court pressure to convert Getchell turnovers into layups for an early 10-0 lead. They sat back in a 2-3 zone to keep the Chargers on the perimeter, but the Chargers swung the ball around the outside to find entry passes on the baseline.

Arlington senior guard Megan Abdo takes control of a loose ball against Marysville Getchell junior guard Kayann Gamalinda on Dec. 27.

Post presence was a factor in both teams’ plans of attack. Charger senior posts Brianna Lloyd-Bennett and Kyleigh Dschaak, who racked up eight points on the night, and junior post Alexys Wilson squared off against Eagle senior centers Cassie Van Loo, Danyell Winterrowd and Kaiti Ferro.

“We like to establish our post players early,” Grandbois said. “You won’t get fouled or score if you don’t shoot.”

The Eagles out-rebounded the Chargers, who stood and watched the ball instead of boxing out and securing possession. The trend continued for a 27-4 Arlington halftime lead.

“We worked on our game plan tonight, like we wanted to, and some girls who don’t usually get to play got to take advantage of the opportunity,” Marsh said. “We’ve played consistently in the last four or five games, and we’re getting better.”

Getchell pressed Arlington to start the third quarter, with a renewed focus on swarming rebounds and creating position with muscle and grit, but the Eagles managed to run their offense as usual.

Arlington senior guard Lauren Grogan hit a threepoint shot clock buzzer beater and junior Taylor Graham watched a swoop-

ing under-the-basket reverse circus layup fall as she trotted backward toward midcourt.

The Eagles led 52-7 after three quarters.

Arlington hit a pair of threes as the game neared the middle of the fourth quarter and slowed their pace to wind down the rest of the clock for a 62-13 win.

“We’ve got seven straight days of practice and that’ll be great for improving what we want to work on,” said Grandbois after the game. “This is the best group of girls you’ll ever meet. They’re so willing to learn and they’re enduring all of the 4A schools on the schedule.”

“Hunger doesn’t just happen during the holidays,” Deierling said.

The Marysville Rock and Gem Club meets at 7 p.m. on the second Tuesdays of each month, except for July, in the Jennings Memorial

Park Barn, located at 6915 Armar Rd. in Marysville.

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Watershed Council will ring in its 12th year with its next meeting at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 26.

The Angel of the Winds Casino Watershed Restaurant conference room will serve as the site for the discussion between the 26 locally focused stakeholders whose stated aims are to restore and maintain a healthy Stillaguamish River system.

“The significance of this diverse group is that we can address issues from varying perspectives, in an open forum where all voices can be heard in an atmosphere of respect and value,” said Franchesca Perez, an assistant with the Stillaguamish Watershed Council and an outreach biologist with the Stillaguamish Tribe’s Natural Resources Department.

“You may or may not have heard of our group or know some of our members, or even forgotten all about us,

but a new year is a time for renewal and remembrance.”

Perez explained that the Stillaguamish Watershed Council formally began in 1990 as the Stillaguamish Implementation Review Committee, whose original focus was to assist in the cleanup of water pollution in the Stillaguamish River, by guiding the implementation of the Stillaguamish Watershed Action Plan approved that year by the Department of Ecology.

The group began and continues to be comprised of a diverse variety of agencies, non-profits and local citizen representatives, whose mission has expanded over time to include a timely focused effort on the recovery of Stillaguamish Chinook, after they were listed as threatened in 1999.

“The Stillaguamish Watershed Council worked hard coordinating with regional entities to develop the Stillaguamish Watershed

Chinook Recovery Plan that was adopted in 2005, which is included in the federal recovery plan for the entire Puget Sound Chinook population,” Perez said. “This grassroots group has always held dear the idea that, as a group of locally focused stakeholders, we should do our best to focus on issues that impact the quality of life of both humans and wildlife.”

Perez expressed the hope that the Stillaguamish Watershed Council could eventually expand to address upland wildlife and avian habitat issues, which she identified as also being key to a sustainable ecosystem future.

“We learn from the past to provide for a healthy and naturally sustainable future,” Perez said.

Marysville firefighters battle blaze caused by arson MARYSVILLE — Arson appears to be the cause of a recent residential fire in Marysville.

MARYSVILLE — Although the winter holiday season has just wrapped up, the degree of need among many families in the community remains.

Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling knows this too well, which was why he was pleased to receive a special visit from Marysville Rock and Gem Club President Bill Moser on Monday, Jan. 2.

Moser presented Deierling with not only 152 pounds of non-perishable food items from the Marysville Rock and Gem Club, but also a check in the amount of $500 for the Marysville Community Food Bank.

“At the club’s annual Christmas party, members were asked to bring in cans of food,” said Dottie Haage, publicity chair for the Marysville Rock and Gem Club. “The response was overwhelming.”

Haage praised Deierling and the more than 200 volunteers of the Marysville Community Food Bank for

p.m. and located a fire in a single-story residential structure.

Original reports stated the house was “on fire with smoke and crackling sounds.”

The first arriving captain reported a one-story wellinvolved residential structure. Firefighters fought the fire defensively and the fire was under control within 30 minutes, confined to the structure, which was vacant.

No firefighter injuries were reported.

The fire’s dollar loss has been estimated at $70,000.

At the height of the incident, more than 18 firefighters battled the blaze with mutual aid provided by Lake Stevens Fire District 8.

The fire was investigated by the Marysville Fire District Fire Marshal’s Office and the Marysville Police Department, and the cause has been determined to be arson.

The MFD and MPD encourage residents to be vigilant in watching vacant properties to reduce potential acts of arson.

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 Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that the whole point of religion? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about it. 360-939-2080

ROADSHOW PAYING CASH ON THE SPOT FOR ANTIQUES, GOLD JEWELRY, SILVER COINS AND MORE!

By Jason Delong STAFF WRITER

“It’s a modern day gold rush as precious metal prices soar—it’s a seller’s market” says Archie Davis, Roadshow Representative.

Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because the “As seen on TV,” Treasure Hunters Roadshow is coming to Marysville. Roadshow specialists are in town examining your gold and silver, antiques and collectibles.

While the Roadshow will accept anything that’s old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category this week due to soaring gold prices.

Buyers for the roadshow have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming to the Roadshow, and for good reason. Record gold prices have Roadshow guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewelry with our fair and honest purchase offers.

The Roadshow encourages anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewelry box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not

sure if something is gold, bring it in and the Roadshow staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold.

Other types of items Roadshow specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Ryan Krushas, one of the Roadshow’s instrument specialists, spoke about some of the top guitars getting great offers. “Gibsons and Fenders are in big demand right now as are vintage amps,” said Krushas. We also buy violins, mandolins, woodwinds, if it plays it pays! Timepiece specialist Jeff Ford adds, “Watches are hot! We recently paid over $2,500 for an old Hamilton pocket watch. And we are buying all types of high-end wrist watches too. Brands like Rolex, Tiffany and Chopard are very desirable to collectors.

And the finest Swiss timepiece in the world, Patek Philippe, just earned a happy seller $42,000.00” Fuller went on to explain that any U.S. coins made before 1970 are the most sought after by collectors. Coins

WHAT WE BUY

made before 1965 are 90% silver, and valuable because of either the silver content or even more valuable if one happens to be a rare date. Fuller explained, “We help people sort through their coins for unique dates. We buy all types of coins at the Roadshow—from wheat pennies to buffalo nickels, and from single coins to entire truckloads. See you at the Roadshow.”
