MARYSVILLE — A Marysville solar panel manufacturer provided an education on solar energy to several Arlington-area students and their families, but their teacher is already aiming to use what they gained that day to educate the community beyond.

Stu Frothingham, who handles marketing and communications for Silicon Energy in Marysville, not only got to play tour guide through the company’s plant on Wednesday, Jan. 25, for Marci Bass’ students and their parents and guardians from the Stillaguamish Valley School in Arlington, but he also gave them a going-away present of a solar panel.

Bass had received a $500 Snohomish County Public

Utility District mini-grant for public education to cover much of the cost of the panel, while Silicon Energy itself agreed to make up most of the remaining difference.

“These mini-grants cover a wide variety of topics, but we have a huge focus on renewable energy,” said Jenni Lamarca, public education programs coordinator for the Snohomish County PUD. “One of the things I noticed about Marci’s grant application is that she’s planning a solar fair around this solar panel, to educate the public beyond the classroom.”

Silicon Energy’s Marysville plant offered an education outside the classroom for visitors of all ages on Jan. 25, as kids and adults alike reacted with surprise SEE STUDENTS, PAGE 2

Stillaguamish Tribal Chair Shawn Yanity touts the value of the relationship between the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians and the city of Arlington at the Jan. 23 Arlington City Council meeting, as his wife Tonya looks on.

ARLINGTON — Stillaguamish Tribal Chair Shawn Yanity found himself on the receiving end of a succession of handshakes from Arlington firefighters and police officers after his presentation to the Arlington City Council on Monday, Jan. 23.

“We made a commitment,” Yanity said, as he announced the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians’ donations of more than half a million dollars to area agencies that serve the community and its citizens. “We wanted to help. We asked the police and fire departments

what they needed. We wanted hard numbers. We had to ask twice,” he chuckled, before turning serious.

“We know the impact these hard times have had on everyone.”

From its non-compact funding, the Tribe is donating $110,000 to the Arlington Police Department and $85,000 to the Arlington Fire Department which will cover, among other expenditures, the purchase of two patrol cars and computers for fire trucks, respectively. The Tribe is likewise providing $41,000 to North County Fire District 21 for equipment, $100,000 to the Arlington School District for its local-foods nutrition program and $25,000 to the Arlington Boys

& Girls Club for a new gym.

“The tribal economy has a positive impact on the local economy,” Yanity said, before extolling the virtues of local public safety and emergency response services in particular. “We can’t say enough about the positive things you do for us. Keeping you all fully equipped is insurance that we hope we never have to cash in. We hope we can continue to make this a better community for everybody to live in.”

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert joked that she wished she could begin every City Council meeting this way, before she took the time SEE TRIBE, PAGE 2

STUDENTS FROM PAGE 1 when Frothingham explained to them that the Pacific Northwest is more well-suited than many people might think to solar energy.

“Heat is actually the enemy of solar panels, which work better when they’re cold,” Frothingham said.

“Solar panels are less efficient during the summer because there’s more resistance,” said Gary Shaver, president and CEO of Silicon Energy. “They even have to be designed to compensate for the fact that they over-perform in colder weather.”

“So why don’t you just make a cooler to cool them off?” asked David Bennett, a 13-year-old student at the Stillaguamish Valley School.

“Great question,” Frothingham said. “The problem then, though, becomes that you’re using energy drawn from the panels to cool the panels, rather than using it to power whatever you want to power in the first place.

However, we have a builtin space between our two sets of panels that can be opened up to allow for cooling airflow.”

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

Bennett’s continued curious streak prompted Frothingham to estimate that Silicon Energy’s Marysville plant produces between 25-75 solar panels a day.

“Watching the machines at work was cool,” said Bennett, as he recalled seeing the delicate solar panel wafers being laid out in a grid and enclosed in what Frothingham compared to “a grilled-cheese sandwich” of laminate layers on the inside and glass layers on the outside to better resist water and sand and other elements that could damage exposed wires in other types of solar panels.

“There’s so many processes involved in making a solar panel,” said Nate Ursino, 10, one of Bennett’s fellow students, and one of many to accidentally break the solar panel wafers that Frothingham gave them as another memento of their visit. “I didn’t realize how fragile this stuff was.”

At the same time that students learned firsthand how gently the ingredients of a solar panel need to be handled, they also got to test out the endurance of Silicon Energy’s finished product, when Frothingham encouraged Nate and his 12-yearold brother Kyle Ursino to jump repeatedly on a solar

panel that’s withstood hundreds of such demonstrations already. Bennett and 12-year-old Liam Mayer also checked out a smaller solar panel that had withstood close-range gunfire without any of the bullets penetrating all the way through.

“Most solar panel manufacturers will say their panels are 80 percent good after 20 years,” Frothingham said.

“Ours are still 80 percent good after 30 years. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory tested our solar panels and a bunch of other companies’ to see when they would fail, through simulated aging cycles of minus-40 and plus-80 degrees Celsius in high humidity, and after 80 simulated years, everyone else’s was done. After 100 simulated years, ours are still running like new.”

Just as Frothingham touted such solar panels as ideal for use by the military in hostile overseas environments where they might not have a reliable power source otherwise, so too did Lamarca describe solar energy as an emerging energy source of the future that the children of today would do well to be well-versed in.

“The next generation is going to need to be innovative,” Lamarca said.

TRIBE FROM PAGE 1 to thank Yanity in the Lushootseed language.

Tolbert wasn’t the only Arlington mayor to attend the Jan. 23 City Council meeting, during which Yanity and fellow Stillaguamish Tribal members presented an oversized check for $195,000 to the Council for the city’s police and fire departments.

Former Mayor Margaret Larson spoke with Yanity outside the Council chambers and praised him to everyone within earshot.

“This was absolutely worth coming back for,” Larson said. “Shawn is a very special person.”

Yanity returned the com-

pliment by crediting Larson with facilitating the Tribe’s ability to make such charitable donations during her time as mayor.

“We’re all excited about this year’s Relay too,” Yanity said, noting that the Tribe had also donated $30,000 to the Relay For Life on behalf of the American Cancer Society. “We take pride in supporting our local charities and governmental services. The Stillaguamish Tribe is the largest contributor to the Dollars For Scholars program at Arlington High School, and we’ve provided Snohomish County with full funding for a deputy prosecutor position for our District Court. We want our help to be given to the local community, because they’re

our neighbors.”

The Tribe’s $86,000 in funding for a deputy prosecutor for Snohomish County, and its $25,000 donation to this year’s Dollars For Scholars at AHS, are among the multitude of its $591,000 in contributions to community organizations for the first half of 2012, as Yanity promised more would come this summer.

“We’ve had a great relationship with Arlington for a long time,” Yanity said.

“That government-to-government relationship has been very important. As we grow, we’re doing what we can to contribute to the surrounding community’s growth, because our businesses and clients are here too.”

ASD sends levy to voters ARLINGTON — On Feb. 14, Arlington voters will be asked to vote on the replacement of an expiring school programs and operation levy for the Arlington Public Schools.

As voters weigh this choice, Arlington School District officials want to make sure they understand that this levy is not a new tax, but a renewal of a current tax expiring at the end of 2012.

Andrea Conley, public information officer for the Arlington Public Schools, noted that approximately 68 percent of the Arlington School District’s funding is provided through state allocation, while 27 percent comes from local taxes and fees, and the remaining 5 percent is from federal allotments.

These levy funds support school district instructional programs and operations, including technology, teaching materials, curriculum, staffing, professional development, academic support, transportation, special education, extracurricular activities such as athletics and clubs, and safety and emergency preparedness.

State law requires school districts to periodically ask voters to consider renewing their local levies, and school districts are allowed to collect only the amounts of money approved by their voters.

For the proposed fouryear replacement levy on the Feb. 14 ballot, which would be collected from 2013-16, Arlington School District officials estimate that the 2012 tax rate of $3.57 per

$1,000 of assessed value, for an estimated annual tax of $1,071 on a $300,000 home, would remain in place through 2013 and the end of 2014. In 2015, they estimate that tax rate would go down to $3.52 per $1,000 of assessed value, for an estimated annual tax of $1,056 on a $300,000 home, and in 2016, they estimate that tax rate would go down to $3.47 per $1,000 of assessed value, for an estimated annual tax of $1,041 on a $300,000 home.

When assessed property values change, the tax rates are adjusted to ensure that school districts collect only the levy dollar amounts approved by their voters. Because of changing property values and other factors that affect the tax rate, the Arlington School District expects the school tax rate to remain the same in the next two years and decrease in the last two years of the four-year proposal.

Arlington’s 2011 levy tax rate of $3.03 per $1,000 of assessed value was lower than those of Marysville at $3.45, Darrington at $3.38, Lake Stevens at $3.21,

Granite Falls at $3.09 and Monroe at $3.06 for the same year. Of Arlington’s neighboring districts, only Lakewood and Stanwood were lower, at $2.87 and $1.94, respectively.

Conley noted that the Arlington Public Schools were cited as one of the most efficient school districts in the state by the State Auditor’s Office in November of last year, in recognition of their practices to reduce noninstructional costs. The Arlington School District was also recognized as one of the best school districts in the state, when judged by a ratio of high-achieving to low-spending, by the Center for American Progress in their January 2011 report, “Return on Educational Investment — A District-by-District Evaluation of U.S. Educational Productivity.”

Ballots for this election were mailed on Jan. 27 and are due by Feb. 14. For more information, you can log onto www.asd.wednet. edu or contact Conley by phone at 360-618-6217 or via email at aconley@asd. wednet.edu.

Haugen, Stevens on opposite sides of gay marriage bill whose definitions of marriage differ from her own.

“For me personally, I have always believed in traditional marriage between a man and a woman,” Haugen said.

“But this issue isn’t about just what I believe. It’s about respecting others, including people who may believe differently than I. It’s about whether everyone has the same opportunities for love and companionship and family and security that I have enjoyed.”

Haugen identified the freedom to live according to one’s own personal and religious beliefs as part of the American way, even though she acknowledged that many people would differ with her opinion.

“I also trust that people will remember that we need to respect each other’s beliefs,” Haugen said. “All of us enjoy the benefits of being Americans, but none of us holds a monopoly on what it means to be an American.

Ours is truly a big tent, and while the tent may grow and shrink according to the political winds of the day, it should never shrink when it comes to our rights as individuals.”

One of Haugen’s reservations, which had previously made her undecided in this matter, was eliminated once the bill included an amendment which would allow a church the right not to marry a couple if that marriage contradicts the church’s position. Although her ultimate preference would be to put this issue on the ballot for the voters of the state to decide, she acknowledged that there might not be the votes to put it to a ballot measure. She declared that the role of her vote as the one that ensures the bill’s passage was irrelevant to her decision.

“If I were the first or the seventh or the 28th vote, my position would not be any different,” Haugen said.

“I happen to be the 25th because I insisted on taking this much time to hear from my constituents and to sort it out for myself, to reconcile my religious beliefs with my beliefs as an American, as a legislator, and as a wife and mother who cannot deny to others the joys and benefits I enjoy.”

State Sen. Val Stevens of Arlington, a Republican representing the 39th District,

argued that this bill would do away with the purpose and benefit of traditional marriage.

“Marriage attaches mothers and fathers to their children and to one another,” Stevens said. “If homosexual marriage becomes law, our state will have discarded the tradition that a child needs a mother and a father.”

Stevens alluded to “mountains of data” attesting to the importance of children being raised by their own mothers and fathers.

Although she took care to acknowledge that homosexuals are not responsible for current generations of “fatherless and motherless children,” she warned that legislation such as Senate Bill 6239 could be responsible for generations to come.

“Two years ago, sponsors of the legislation to create domestic partnerships stated marriage was not their goal, and that they only wanted the same rights as traditionally married couples,” Stevens said. “Apparently they are no longer content to have the changes they insisted they needed. Now they want to distort traditional marriage. This bill is

Operations and Elections Committee by a 4-3 partyline vote on Thursday, Jan. 26, that rejected all four Republican amendments to provide additional protections for clergy, religious groups and businesses that choose not to provide services related to same-sex marriages.

The bill’s next step is the Senate Rules Committee, followed by a Senate floor vote that could take place within a week.

State Attorney General Rob McKenna, Republican candidate for governor, has pledged that he would vote to repeal same-sex marriage legislation if it appears on the ballot this November.

Although McKenna promised to maintain the existing domestic partnership law, he shares Stevens’ commitment to preserving the state law defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

U.S. Rep. Jay Inslee, Democratic candidate for governor, supports the same-sex marriage legislation and vowed to fight against its repeal.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Public Schools will be hosting their second “Know Your Schools” event for members of the community on Wednesday, Feb. 8, from 8:30-11:30 a.m.

Community members are invited to meet in the Arlington School District Board of Directors’ office, located at 315 N. French Ave., at 8:30 a.m. for a complimentary continental breakfast with ASD Superintendent Dr. Kristine McDuffy.

Attendees will be able to hear about the learning occurring in the schools, and after the informational session, there will be a tour of a few schools to see student achievement in real time.

“We would like you to see firsthand some of our successes, challenges and opportunities,” ASD Public Information Officer Andrea Conley said.

not about policy. It’s about breaking down moral and religious standards.”

Stevens decried what she deemed as examples of discrimination in the states that have legalized same-sex marriage, including a county clerk in New York who lost her job for refusing to sign a same-sex marriage license, and a Methodist church in New Jersey that was stripped of its tax-exempt status and sued for discrimination for not renting out its facilities for a lesbian civil-union ceremony.

“The proponents of this bill claim that won’t happen here,” Stevens said.

“Should this legislation become law, will they rush to the defense of people in our state who nonetheless find themselves under attack? The costs of this bill to our society, as well as to our religious rights, are too high.”

Stevens pledged to continue speaking out in support of defining marriage as between one man and one woman.

OLYMPIA — Two state Legislators representing the local area have come out on opposite sides of a proposed law that would allow same-sex marriages in Washington.

State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen of the 10th District went from being the Democrats’ remaining holdout to becoming the 25th vote needed to pass Senate Bill 6239 on Monday, Jan. 23.

Haugen noted that she’d received a number of letters, emails and phone calls from supporters and opponents of the bill, which had posed a complicated decision for her.

“To some degree, this is generational,” Haugen said.

“Years ago, I took exception to my parents’ beliefs on certain social issues, and today my children take exception to some of mine. Times change, even if it makes us uncomfortable. I think we should all be uncomfortable sometime.”

Haugen attributed her tolerance of others to her strong Christian beliefs, which she credited with motivating her to be less judgmental, even of those

The Human Spectrum T

he strategy announced last week

by The American Psychiatric Association to revise the definition of autism will effectively eliminate the autism “epidemic” simply by changing what we mean by the word autism itself. The APA’s strategy has two paradoxical outcomes.

First, it neatly absolves society of the burden of supporting a significant population of people whose needs are not changed in the slightest by the clever redefinition of the label that describes them.

But at the same time, the APA’s strategy also acknowledges how universal this condition we call autism actually is. In a way, the autism spectrum has become so universal it can no longer be considered “special.” But the fact remains that all people have basic needs — for medical care, for education, for employment, for a home to live in, for dignity and respect — and that all people have something important to contribute to the common good. This is true of everyone, regardless of what their particular version of the human condition might be or where they fall on the universal spectrum of attributes of which we are all composed in infinite variety and combination — the human

I recently ran across Temple Grandin’s remarkable account of her experience as a person with autism. In her fascinating book Emergence: Labeled Autistic, Dr. Grandin (she has a doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) describes her unique way of perceiving the world as an asset that gives her distinct advantages over “neurotypical” people. Dr. Grandin, as she has gradually come to realize, is a “visual thinker” which gives her tremendous advantages as a designer of complex industrial equipment. But at the same time the unique way in which her mind works makes it difficult to understand more abstract concepts like algebra or the complexities of human emotion and relationship.

As a child Dr. Grandin was blessed with a strong family and support system.

Public school finance: Don’t waste this crisis!

L

ook at a high school text book. Everything is firstclass, or was when it was new. It’s tough, colorful, heavy and made to last. If you tried lugging a trade paperback to school and back every day it would be a mess of loose pages within a week or two. Library-rated bindings last longer but even they are no match for the durability of textbooks. Of course that level of quality costs a bundle so with school budgets in crisis you can be sure that school districts are squeezing one more year from nearly used up textbooks.

Ask kids about the textbook situation. They see classes without enough books to go around and if there are enough, some are pretty well trashed. Seven to eight years is the normal life for a textbook.

That lifetime might cover 1,200 repetitions of being stuffed into backpacks, tossed under seats of school buses, paged through during homework time and then lugged back to school for the next day.

When county property tax collections slumped, schools found themselves cut off at the pockets.

Schools can’t spend beyond their means so they have cut here, cut there, trimming every cost that’s trimmable, including textbooks.

Yes, it’s a crisis, but as the old saying goes, never waste a crisis.

Can any good be found in the textbook crisis? It’s certain that

OPINION BOB GRAEF something has to be done when existing stocks of textbooks fall short of covering all students, copy machines run short of paper and toner and orders for other learning resources are slashed because the money just isn’t there. No use crying about it. You have to deal with it.

There is reason to believe that budget deficits might force changes that actually improve education.

Though the quality of instruction can’t help but suffer from cutting staff, reduced budgets for learning materials could possibly bring about tradition-breaking changes that would turn out for the better.

No doubt about it, textbooks have cost too much and weighed too much for a long time. As with big banks, big text publishers have bought out small ones until most textbooks are now printed by only three giants and that’s led to monopolistic pricing plus a dangerous concentration of editorial policy.

As to cost, Marysville pays $131.85 for an AP Chemistry text, $75.27 for U.S. History and $73.99 for Biology. Believe it or not, those are well below publishers’ sticker prices because school district buy-

ers wring discounts from jobbers who stock textbooks. After the artful dickering is done, textbooks still remain outrageously pricey.

At the end of seven to eightyear replacement cycles, some of every district’s textbooks come up for replacement. At least that used to be the plan. Oak Harbor just announced it won’t be replacing 10-year-old K-12 science texts as planned. The money isn’t there.

Some districts are testing ways to eliminate textbooks. Vail, Colorado and Florence, Arizona, shelved textbooks and bought each student a laptop to search out and store course content. The cost per student was $450, $100 less than one student’s books. Of course that saving won’t hold up when maintenance and replacement are factored in. For a cheaper option, imagine students downloading an entire curriculum onto e-readers like Kindles, Nooks, or iPads. The question is, will tests show that such webbased learning materials deliver positive results.

Free substitutes for textbooks are now available. They’re called Open-Source materials and they are gaining popularity among innovative districts. Open-source texts seem to have first surfaced in South Africa where teachers founded a project known as FHSST, or Free High School SEE CRISIS, PAGE 5

Connexions is a good one to watch. Spearheaded

by Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, Connexions produces unit-sized modules that school districts cut-and-paste into nearperfect fits for their needs.

Because free digital files can be edited by users, the fit can be further refined.

One district’s web course lists optional $20 black and white and $60 color versions in print. Blaine, Minnesota turned down a bid for $200,000 for a new Statistics text, opting instead for a digital teacher-written course.

were nearly $175,000.

Results may be published by the end of this school year.

Scattered test results generally show improvement with test scores strongly suggesting that the use of collaboratively compiled open-source texts do significantly improve both teaching and learning. It seems that every budget-crippled school district should be taking a close look at this.

like autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and so on. Rather, the point is to deal with the challenges while focusing on the possibilities — on the unique gift and contribution that every person brings, and on the qualities that are evoked in everyone when people of all abilities are engaged with one another.

I have yet to meet a parent in my work who, despite a lifetime of dealing with sometimes overwhelming physical and behavioral challenges, did not in the end feel their child had unique gifts to offer.

I think, for example, of the mother I met recently whose adolescent daughter has profound developmental conditions that include being nonverbal, wheelchair-bound, tube-fed and a frequent long-term guest at Children’s Hospital. The biggest challenge, says her mom, is not the tubes and

diapers and medical worries, but rather the lack of play dates. Because her daughter, whose radiant smile in the presence of friends could light a small city, loves other kids above all things. She is not a university professor or frequent talk show guest, but she has this in common with Temple Grandin — her differences, her very challenges, speak to her inherent worth as a human being and evoke wonderful qualities in everyone around her.

We are all on the spectrum, the human spectrum. And this is a good thing because the world needs people of all abilities and the unique gifts we bring to each other.

Nehring re-elected to Community Transit board SNOHOMISH COUNTY — There will be a lot of familiar faces on the Community Transit Board of Directors the next two years as all eight board members eligible to remain on the board were reelected, including Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring.

The newcomer is Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling. He was elected to represent large cities, but this isn’t his first time on the board. Earling served on the board for 12 years in the 1990s and early 2000s, when he was an Edmonds City Council member.

Members who were reelected at Community Transit’s Board selection meeting Jan. 26 include Marysville Mayor Jon

Nehring, Mill Creek Mayor Mike Todd, Mountlake Terrace Mayor Jerry Smith, Mukilteo Mayor Joe Marine, Stanwood Mayor Dianne White and Sultan Council Member Steven Slawson.

Earlier, the Snohomish County Council reappointed Council members Dave Gossett and Dave Somers as its representatives. Lance Norton serves as the board’s labor representative.

The new board will elect officers at its first meeting, on Thursday, Feb. 2.

Three new board alternates were chosen as well.

Arlington Council member Debora Nelson, Lake Stevens Council member Kim Daughtry and

Lynnwood Council member Sid Roberts will serve in those positions, along with Snohomish Council member Tom Hamilton. Snohomish County Council member Stephanie Wright was named the County Council’s alternate.

The Community Transit board is chosen every two years. The board is comprised of two representatives from the Snohomish County Council; two representatives from large cities, with more than 30,000 residents; three representatives from medium-sized cities, with 10,000 to 30,000 residents; and two from small cities, with fewer than 10,000 residents.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Support Arlington schools On Feb. 14, we will ask you, the voter, to approve a School Programs and Operation Levy (formerly called a M&O Levy) for the Arlington School District.

As your elected representatives we do not take this action lightly. We understand the fiscal responsibility that is placed squarely on the shoulders of each Board Director.

While we realize any kind of tax is a burden, we also must acknowledge that the state does not fully pay for all of the programs that it mandates or that our community has determined that we need. In order to fund all of our day-to-day operational expenses, we are forced to ask our local voters to fund 22 percent of our current educational programs.

We want to stress to the Arlington School District voters that this is a replacement levy — not a new or additional tax. The $3.57 per thousand will replace the rate that you are currently paying.

What does this money do?

It pays for 35 percent of our school transportation costs and 30 percent of our staffing needs. In addition, it funds a significant portion of special education, technology, teaching materials, and extracur-

ricular activities.

Our district was recently cited by the State Auditor as one of the most efficient school districts in the State.

We’re proud of that recognition. We’ve worked hard to provide a comprehensive school program for our kids. We urge you to vote on February 14. Our kids are counting on you.

Eagles hold on for 44-34 win over M-P MARYSVILLE — Tomahawk boys basketball hosted 4A North fifth-place Arlington on Jan. 24 seeking vengeance for the 75-50 drubbing they suffered at Arlington on Dec. 9.

The last-place Tomahawks brought a playoff intensity as they sought to derail Arlington’s postseason plans, but the Eagles held on late for a hard-fought, 44-34 win.

“They’re definitely playing better,” said Arlington head coach Nick Brown of the M-P squad that suffered yet another narrow defeat yet refused to hang their heads.

“They’re so physical and strong.

It was a slugfest and both teams played hard.”

Arlington opened the game with a full-court press to keep the Tomahawks off-balance, but M-P fought through it and senior post Calvin White’s put-back put his team on the board first. Tomahawk senior guard Dominique Kiblinger earned a trip to the free throw-line with a strong layup shortly after.

Arlington junior guard Terry Dawn converted a layup and hit a turnaround fader from just inside the left three-point line moments later to kick-start the Eagle offense.

Senior guard Tanner Goheen beat M-P senior post Philip DeSanctis from the left off of a half-court breakaway.

Tomahawk junior wing Jalen Apel-Henderson bumped up and inside on the left block for a layin before Arlington senior guard Conner Davis nailed a three from top left of arc.

M-P senior guard Nathan Williams rebounded Goheen’s missed three-pointer and took it the length of the court for a layup, a foul and a free throw. Goheen returned for a tough layup from the right and junior post Dan Boyden hit a three-pointer from top of line to take an 18-10 lead and force an M-P timeout with 7:32 remaining in the second quarter.

Both defenses tightened up and Arlington’s threes stopped falling as two threes from Davis drew iron, as did Dawn’s and sophomore guard Kaleb Bryson’s.

“Dom was locking down Terry Dawn, the best player on their team,” White said.

Kiblinger recorded a monster block beneath the right of the basket that stirred up the crowd.

DeSanctis took the ball up and in through the paint for a score and Kiblinger barreled up and into the defense for a layup from right.

Apel-Henderson hit a three from the top right to cut Arlington’s lead to 24-17 and force an Eagle timeout with 2:19 until halftime.

Dawn missed a three-pointer from the left but grabbed his own rebound for a scoop-and-score layup from the left. Dawn and Davis looked to get back on track with threes but both attempts missed.

Kiblinger skipped the ball across the court to M-P senior guard Nathan Williams who beat the halftime buzzer with a layup to trail 28-19 at halftime.

Dawn missed another three-

pointer and Kiblinger took advantage for a score on the other end of the floor. Arlington took another timeout, lead down to six at 28-22 with 5:12 left in the third quarter.

M-P broke Arlington’s fullcourt press and DeSanctis went up strong for a shot in the left of the paint. Eagle junior guard AJ Passalacqua answered with a short basket from the left.

Arlington’s defense bore down on DeSanctis in the paint as Boyden and senior post Bo Brummel combined to block his turnaround jumper. Boyden muscled up in key on the other end for a lay-in from the left block and a 33-25 Arlington lead at the end of the third quarter.

“Don’t be selfish,” said Tomahawk head coach Bary Gould to his resilient squad. “Pass up a good shot for a great shot.”

The Tomahawks moved the ball much better instead of settling for quick shots against Arlington’s 2-3 zone though they went cold from three-point range. White put an offensive rebound back up and in for the score.

Missed free throws threatened to kill Arlington’s lead, but Dawn beat the Tomahawks’ man defense and powered in for a layup from the left and the Eagles led 40-34 with three minutes remaining in regulation.

Boyden was fouled in the paint and made both free throws with 2:37 remaining. Dawn missed a three-pointer off of a Davis steal, from which M-P could not find a

Dawn missed a 1-and-1 free throw and Arlington turned the ball over in the paint. M-P took a timeout trailing 42-34 with 40 seconds left.

Kiblinger’s three-pointer wouldn’t fall and Dawn was fouled and hit both free throws for a 44-34 lead.

The Tomahawks missed their final shot and the Eagles swing the ball around halfcourt to run out

the clock for their 44-34 win.

“We need to block out better and that’s a fact,” Gould said. “As a team they killed us in rebounding. They got second and third chances and killed us on the offensive glass. It’s a guard, forward and post problem. The other thing is that we had to make free throws.

There’s something attractive about guys who don’t give up, and people like to see that,” said Gould of the game’s crowd, the largest he’d seen in his M-P coaching career.

Lakewood, Granite Falls face off in ‘Cat Fight’

Lakewood senior Caitlyn Darrah drives the ball up the court against Granite Falls on Jan. 28.

GRANITE FALLS — The Lakewood Cougars and the Granite Falls Tigers faced off on the hardcourt, Jan. 28, for the annual “Cat Fight.”

Fighting for their third win of the season, the Lakewood girls stayed close throughout the game but ultimately fell short, 55-49.

The “Cat Fight” is an annual event in which both the boys and girls teams from Lakewood and Granite Falls play on the same night. In addition, both schools hold fundraisers during the week.

“It’s been a big rivalry for about three years,” said Lakewood head coach Chris Walster. “That’s when the leadership classes from each school got together and decided to hold this event.”

Walster pointed out that while his girls may have lost the basketball game, Lakewood students were victorious in the fundraising

challenge by collecting more than $1,300 for their charity Pennies for Patients.

“This is a great event that draws a standing room only crowd,” Walster said. “ It’s a great event for the schools and the communities.”

Walster said his team got off to a good start, jumping out to a 7-0 lead and ending the first quarter with a 13-10 advantage.

Granite Falls picked up the offensive pace in the second quarter, outscoring the Cougars 17-10 to head into halftime with a 27-23 lead.

“We’ve lost a couple of players to injuries recently, so we’re not able to substitute as much as before,” Walster said. “That tends to wear our team down a bit.”

In the third quarter, the Cougars’ offense cooled down as the Tigers outscored them 19-10 to take a 46-33 lead into the final quarter.

“We closed to within two points in the fourth quarter,” Walster said.

“But in the end, it was not to be.”

Walster said that the Cougars put on a press in the fourth quarter and outscored the Tigers 16-9, but Granite Falls was able to hang on for a 55-49 victory.

“We had a big effort from Kayley Diggs who scored 13 points, pulled down nine rebounds and had a season-record seven blocked shots,” said Walster. “Skylar Cannon, a sophomore, also stepped it up by scoring a season-high 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds.”

Walster pointed out that Granite Falls is tied for third place in the league so he’s is very pleased with his team playing so well against them.

“We did very well on both ends of the floor,” Walster said. “The girls played very well but, unfortunately, they did not get the win.”

Local Hi-Q teams compete

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

EVERETT — The Arlington and Lakewood high school Hi-Q teams will once again be testing their intellectual mettle, against each other and 11 other Snohomish and Island county high school teams, during the 36th year of the region-wide academic competition run locally

by Everett Community College.

While the Arlington High School Hi-Q team, which has won Hi-Q six times since the competition started in 1976, is still looking to bounce back from its third-place finish in 2010, the Lakewood High School Hi-Q team has yet to win its first Hi-Q trophy.

In each competition, three local high school teams will face off by answering questions from 13 categories, and points will be accumulated throughout the

three-month-long season to determine which teams will advance to the 2012 Hi-Q championship play-offs.

While a few members of each of the two schools’ teams have their own academic specialties — Arlington High School’s Robert Kephart in math, Kyle Kilmer in Shakespeare and Spencer Lajoie in sports, and Lakewood High School’s Ryan Whitehead in math and Lauren Burch in history and literature — both sets of students echoed Burch’s assessment that no one student should be indispensable in any subject, given the breadth of material with which all the Hi-Q team members need to be familiar.

“You have to show up every day ready to work hard and remember,” said Hannah Mendro, a member of the AHS Hi-Q team and daughter of Ben Mendro, one of that team’s two fac-

ulty advisors.

“You try and overlap your studies with your teammates,” Burch said. “Last year, it was really difficult because I was having to read up on all these subjects that I hadn’t had classes on yet.”

“You can never be totally prepared for a competition,” said Jane Joselow, the other faculty advisor for the AHS Hi-Q team.

Despite the long hours of studying on their own time, both sets of students described the challenge of Hi-Q as fun. Like Hannah Mendro, LHS Hi-Q team members Michaela Boyd and Sara Newman appreciate the familial sense of fellowship that they’ve developed with their teammates.

Newman also agreed with Mendro and Kilmer that preparing for the competitions has made her more well-rounded academically and personally.

“I really love learning ran-

“Plus, it gives me something to do during the off-season for sports.”

LHS Hi-Q faculty advisors Jeff Sowards and Mike Fellows agreed that Hi-Q students demonstrate how exceptional they are by their willingness to take on the extra work required to pre-

pare for Hi-Q competitions.

“We’re very lucky to work with some neat, sharp kids,” Fellows said. “Some students do the minimum to get certain grades, but these kids are pushing themselves.”

The AHS Hi-Q team will host the Feb. 14 competition, and compete again on March 9. The LHS Hi-Q

team will host the Feb. 28 competition, and compete again on March 12.

Eagle Festival fetes wildlife, environment ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington and the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians are staging the fifth annual Eagle Festival on Saturday, Feb. 4, in Arlington.

The Stillaguamish watershed hosts large concentrations of bald eagles during the winter when they feed on spawning salmon, and the city of Arlington is taking this opportunity to invite visitors to Arlington to see the eagles and take part in the day’s many events.

From 10 a.m. to noon, the Nature Conservancy’s Kit Crump and Stillaguamish Tribe Wildlife Biologist Jen Sevigny will join volunteers from the Audubon Society in guiding people through the Port Susan Bay Nature Conservancy. As visitors drive toward Port Susan on Norman Road, they should keep a sharp eye out for eagles flying over the Stillaguamish River or perched in cottonwood trees. At the estuary at Port Susan, people will be able to look through binoculars or a spotting scope to get a close-up look at these great birds.

For an even more personal encounter with a live bird, guests should stop by the Sarvey Wildlife Center’s open house from noon to 4 p.m., which will once again take place in the Arlington City Council chambers at 110

E. Third St. Sarvey Wildlife staff will be showing many birds of prey. Nature exhibits and representatives from the Grizzly Bear Outreach, Sound Salmon Solutions, Pilchuck Audubon Society, Wolf Haven and Snohomish Conservation District will also be here.

Two additional nature walks are planned during the day. At 9 a.m., city of Arlington Natural Resources Manager Bill Blake will lead a short walk through the city’s new stormwater wetland and along the Stillaguamish River’s “Eagle Trail.� Walkers will be able to learn how this newly created wetland will benefit the river, and to look for eagles in the cottonwood trees along the river. The walk starts at the Haller Park parking lot, located at 1100 West Ave. Later that day, those who have wondered what’s happening at the property west of Interstate 5 at Exit 210 will be able to take a guided walk through the Pilchuck Preserve. Visitors will receive information on the history, recent activity and future of the land, as well as what functional floodplain, forest and salmon habitat it entails.

The walks will be led by Franchesca Perez, outreach biologist for the Stillaguamish Tribe, and are scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. and from 1-2

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

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