ARLINGTON — When the Olympic Theatre was built in 1939, the standard in showing motion pictures was 35 mm film. In the decades to follow, technology changed but film remained the same — until now.

This year, major movie studios plan to cease production of film reels as they switch to digital, but equipping a theater with digital projectors is a costly endeavor and small theaters everywhere are feeling the pressure, including the Olympic Theatre.

Norma Pappas has owned the Olympic Theatre since 1977 when she bought the space with her dad.

She has been running the theater for 35 years doing everything from splicing film to selling tickets and concessions. She prides herself on having affordable prices and being a staple in Arlington, especially for young families who could not afford the movie experience at large corporate multiplex theaters.

But everything will change if studios stop making movies on film, because switching to digital could cost her up to $100,000.

“It’s unthinkable,” said Pappas. “Thirty-five milSEE OLYMPIC, PAGE 2

SMOKEY POINT — Residents of and visitors to the Stillaguamish Senior Center received some insights and offered their input on the state of fair housing within Snohomish County on Wednesday, May 2.

The Stillaguamish Senior Center served as the site for one of three forums conducted by the Snohomish County Human Services Department, presented on site by Heidi Aggeler and Jen Garner of BBC Research & Consulting to an audience consisting largely of seniors and staff members of regional senior centers, with a couple of area realtors in attendance as well.

Debi Lewis, housing supervisor for the Stillaguamish Senior Center, echoed the concerns

The Olympic Theatre (center), seen here in the 1940s, has been an integral part of Olympic Avenue in Arlington since it was first built in 1939. It now faces closure if movie studios stop making 35 mm films.

limeter has been the standard for 100 years. There’s no reason why big studios can’t put a few copies on film to keep us small theaters in business.”

According to Pappas, it can take 27 years for big multiplex theaters to recoup the costs of their transition.

For the Olympic Theatre, it is just not possible.

“If they stop making film this year, we will have to close,” said Pappas. “I try to play the pictures people want to see. I keep it as family oriented as possible because that’s what Arlington wants.

People don’t realize that I’ve dedicated 35 years of my life to this. If they stop making film I will be forced to close along with 1,000 other smalltown theaters across the U.S.” Members of the Arlington community have started a Facebook page called “Save the Olympic Theatre.” Several users have shared personal experiences on the page, including childhood moviegoing memories. Others have talked about fundraising or starting a foundation to support it. But Pappas made it very clear that she is not looking for hand-outs.

“I’m the kind of person that if I can’t afford it, I don’t buy it. I am very self-sufficient,” she said. She has considered other ideas, including selling the property for other uses.

“Perhaps someone could buy it,” she said. “But the space next door has been closed and for sale here for two years.”

Pappas believes the studios that refuse to produce film are purposely edging out the small locally owned theaters because they aren’t making them a profit. “I feel like they want to force us out. I just have that feeling. And if you’re going to do it, this is the best way. Take away our format, make it undoable.”

Although she doesn’t want to close the theater, she does not see it as a wholly negative possibility. “I’ve been here for so long,” she said.

“I work here seven days a week and my stress levels are over the top. Maybe it’s time for me to do something else.

Something for myself.”

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1 of the realtors in the room, who called for more housing access for adults with disabilities.

“Of those who feel discriminated against in terms of housing in Snohomish County, the disabled were by far the largest category,” Garner said. “Right behind that is race, ethnicity and immigration status.”

While the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s apartments house seniors older than 62 and adults with disabilities older than 18, Lewis reported having to turn away large numbers of younger families who call her simply because they find themselves without other options.

“We need more lowincome federally funded housing,” said Lewis, who noted that even residents of existing senior centers such as hers are feeling the squeeze from reductions in public transportation that make their access to hospitals and shopping more difficult.

Sandy Kitchens, apartment manager for the Lincoln School Senior Apartments in Stanwood, acknowledged the concerns voiced by some senior residents who were curious about the parameters of housing discrimination, with those seniors wondering whether housing staff might dismiss their concerns because they’re older.

Garner and local realtor Marvetta Toler pointed to the dispute resolution mediators of HUD and Volunteers of America as neutral parties with whom residents can work without fear of reprisals.

When one of Toler’s fellow realtors relayed accounts of renters receiving “shotgun” evictions, Lewis advised those renters to contact the Volunteers of America and those landlords to join the Snohomish County Apartment Operators Association, to ensure that they’re following the legally required process for evictions.

“A lot of landlords think it’s just their right to do what they want,” Lewis said.

Aggeler acknowledged that one finding of the study so far has been that more people than the statistical norm are willing to take action against unfair housing in Snohomish County, but fewer than that average know who to contact. For the seniors in the audience, this difficulty is compounded by the fact that few felt willing or able to navigate the Internet to find that information.

“In spite of the number of organizations that exist to serve them, there’s a barrier there,” Aggeler said.

“It could also be fear of losing their housing, if it’s subsidized or depending on their immigration status,” Garner said. “It creates a hidden problem.”

Experience the magic at Relay for Life

A

s someone who has relatives, friends and co-workGUEST ers who have fought courageous personal battles against OPINION cancer, I urge you to join me in JON NEHRING the American Cancer Society MARYSVILLE Relay For Life of Marysville/ MAYOR Tulalip as we come together as a community on June 9 to celebrate survivors, remember those who are no longer with us and raise money to find a cure.

I attended my first Relay For Life last year at the MarysvillePilchuck High School track, where Tulalip Tribes Chairman Mel Sheldon Jr. and I helped kick off the opening ceremonies.

From the masses of smiling people wearing their purple shirts with pride as they rounded the track, to the silent procession of an evening walk brightened by the glow of luminaria, with each illuminated bag bearing the name of someone who has battled cancer, there was an indescribable spirit that gave the event an added sense of purpose.

Relay For Life is both a somber and life-affirming event that organizers are working hard to make even bigger and better this year. I hope you’ll become a part of it.

There will be tears.

There will be laughter.

Most of all, there will be hope and celebration of life.

That is the magic of Relay.

This year’s Relay For Life will be noon to 9 a.m. starting Saturday, June 9 again at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Stadium track, 5611 108th St. NE. Relay For Life is a familyoriented event during which participants can walk or run around the track, relay-style, between noon Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday.

A team representative is required to be on the track at all times because cancer never sleeps.

It may sound like walking or jogging a track for hours is exhausting, but it’s nothing compared to the mental and physical drain that I can only imagine a cancer survivor has to face.

It’s encouraging to know that there’s a good chance the people in front of you are themselves cancer survivors. When not walking, participating teams and individuals camp out around the inside of the track, and when they aren’t taking their turn walking, they take part in fun activities with family, neighbors, and co-workers.

Relay for Life of Marysville/Tulalip’s goal is to raise $195,000 and sign up 100 teams. Relay For Life thrives on the energy of SEE RELAY, PAGE 5

Renee Roman Nose, Northwest Indian Education Site Manager for Tulalip Tribes, addressed students in the morning sessions and shared “passing up college is like throwing away a lottery ticket worth $1 million in lifetime earnings.”

Over 150 colleges, technical schools, trade schools, military options, and local business leaders were present to talk with students about their options. Members of the Marysville and Tulalip business communities shared their experience, knowledge and expertise, and offered guidance to students as they pondered the many choices they have for their future.

Obtaining food locally

ow far has your food traveled to get to your plate?

The average distance food travels is 1,500 miles from the fields to the kitchen.

In order to travel that far and still be in a saleable condition, most produce is harvested before it is ripe. This way, it is less apt to bruise or be damaged in transit as well as retain some level of shelflife when it gets to the market place and your home. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognizes that this is not necessarily the most nutritious, or tastiest, way to acquire our foods.

With the new guidelines that the USDA has released for school meals that require more fresh fruits and vegetables be offered

GUEST OPINION ED AYLESWORTH to the students at breakfast and lunch, emphasis is now on obtaining those fruits and vegetables as locally as possible. This provides students with food that will taste better because it was harvested within a few days of consumption, and therefore, more ripe with natural flavor.

Arlington Public Schools sees this federal move as a wonder-

ful opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint created by purchasing items produced far away and to feed students food that is more fresh and vitamin-packed.

This year, some food was purchased from local farms such as Marshland Orchards in the Snohomish area and processors such as Hendrickson Farms in Marysville.

One challenge that comes from this effort is that the growing season in Washington is more limited than that of more southern states.

This will require creative thinking and planning to best use the resources we have and supplement as needed with product that is SEE FOOD, PAGE 5

Haunted by lingering effects

t seems that when some processes get started there’s no stopping them. It’s not that they‘re unstoppable. Rather, we don’t muster up the gumption to pull their plugs. Crab traps for instance: not crab-rings or the fold-up kind, but rigid traps that lure crabs in to the bait but don’t let them out again.

When a Mission Bar crab trap loses its buoy it becomes an unstoppable fishing machine. First comers are lured in by the scent of bait, which they devour. But they can’t get out so they die to become food for the next wave. In an endless cycle, the scent of death attracts still more crabs that crawl in through one-way openings to join the cannibalistic process of feeding and dying.

The process continues until the trap’s frame and web corrodes, leaving a rust-stained mound of shells marking the demise of hundreds of crabs. All it takes is a frayed line or loose knot to trigger another of these ongoing disasters.

While lost crab traps do dirty work out of sight, dozens of out-ofcontrol processes take place in plain

sight. Take the neighbor who planted a hedgerow of cute little Douglas fir starts. Or cattle herds that doom overgrazed acreages to channeled erosion. Or parents choosing not to discipline increasingly disobedient children. Hard to stop things once they take hold.

Another is the Big Engine. As America celebrates the last days of its horsepower binge, it feeds an unstoppable process of excess consumption. This lingering kissoff to the era of cheap gas has no end in sight. Even with gas topping four bucks per gallon, old guzzlers remain kings of the road while new V-10 pickups sell like hotcakes.

Like crab traps, big engines will continue to consume resources for the 250k or so miles it takes to wear them out.

There are ways to cut back on out-of-control processes. Try looking ahead: looking ahead by tying

tighter knots and using stronger line. Looking ahead by choosing landscape plants that don’t grow up to haunt us. Or parents looking ahead by figuring out what it takes to raise children before they have them. And looking ahead to how purchases of energy gobblers affect the world around us.

Compared with what’s driven elsewhere, it seems that superpowered pickups and SUVs are a uniquely American final fling.

Maybe American drivers’ romance with internal combustion needs this final dance with their mechanical mistresses. Could be that heavy metal drivers feel that if this really is the last dance, then they don’t want to have it with some wimpy 4-banger econo-box. Gather ye horsepower while ye may because new mpg standards will soon have us all driving pokey gas-misers.

It’s natural to cling to excessive old behaviors. Take space exploration for instance. Once we orbited Earth we voided the old saying, the sky’s the limit. There’s a whole universe to be explored out there so we happily voyaged into space’s fiscal black hole, funding one megabuck

project after the other. When one went wrong, another was designed to find out why. How much could be discovered? As much as the best brains and deepest pockets could find. Meanwhile, needy people on planet Earth ooohed and aaahed at the rockets’ red glare.

These grandiose projects take the nature of national art-forms. Like pyramids or renaissance cathedrals.

Someday, someone will analyze history’s Great Projects to figure out why people start huge things that take on lives of their own. Maybe steering our attention toward dazzling, mind-blowing, excessive extravaganzas keeps our collective mind off troubles at home.

This was done during the Great Depression by building dams. That unstoppable process began in the 1930’s when the Army Corps of Engineers and Department of the Interior went head-to-head to see which could dam the most rivers.

It started as justifiable make-work projects to solve unemployment but once society was back to work the process kept right on for fortysome years with no kill-switch or sunset-clause.

Nothing slowed the bizarre competition between the Corps and Interior until they’d turned prime rivers into lakes and run smack into environmental disasters of their own making. To get permits, both the Corps and Interior lied and twisted congressional arms, Interior boldly built Grand Coulee twohundred feet taller than their permit specified. While Grand Coulee is a very nice dam and very useful, it also stands as a monument to programs that lacked controls.

Consider crab traps, petroleum consumption, trains, wars, space exploration, medical services and Seattle’s new tunnel. We could do better — personally and as a society but change comes slowly if a nation is coached daily into resisting change.

History shows that focus on short term profits and gratification undermines the economy.

Worse, it diverts the public’s mind from issues that, if tended, would strengthen our prospects, personally and as a nation.

sustainable program that provides students with food grown and produced locally, as well as provide education regarding the close ties that we all have to farmland for our health and well-being. To make the program sustainable, we want to look at the interconnectivity between farms and homes.

Food does not come from plastic bags and milk from containers, but from the hard work of farmers working to coax the rich soil we have into growing vegetables and grasses. The more we understand this as consumers, the more likely we will be able to teach this to our children. In turn, hopefully they

will work to eat well and support farmland continuity so their children will have good food to eat as well.

Several of the schools in Arlington, such as Eagle Creek, have school gardens in which the students work, providing them with the joy of seeing the results of planted seeds and the reward of eating food that each had a hand in growing.

To grow well, plants need rich soil. In order to assist in that area, the food service program is also working with the city of Arlington to reduce the waste taken to the land fill by implementing a com-

posting program.

The program was established in the kitchens of each school several months ago by kitchen staff putting all compostable material into “Slim Jims.” These narrow green containers are filled with food items, tray liners, and anything else that a worm can eat. The material is then picked up and taken to a composting facility on a weekly basis. This effort seems to be making a difference as each kitchen fills at least one 64 gallon composting container a week.

Because this is going so well, discussion regarding the expansion of the program to the students is

underway. As a result, less waste is going into the landfill and is being turned into a useable form that could potentially be used to grow fresh vegetables in someone’s garden or farm.

Who knows? With our continued efforts to expand local purchases as much as possible, vegetables grown with the compost generated from school kitchens and cafeterias just might be served on your child’s plate at school next fall!

Pilchuck Rentals returns to serve the community

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — For Lance Brown, reopening his family-owned Pilchuck Rentals business in the area this year was a way to meet an unfilled need.

Pilchuck Rentals had originally been in business locally from 1979 through 2000, when it sold out to

United Rentals, but when United left, Brown saw an opportunity.

“It left a hole in the rental and sales of construction equipment and landscaping tools in Marysville,” said Brown, who had previously operated out of Arlington and Monroe.

Pilchuck Rentals carries Stihl and Honda equipment

including tractors, pressure washers, chippers, front loaders and backhoe excavators.

Between Lance Brown and his sons Jason and Jesse, who work at the business with his wife Becky, he estimated that the family staff has 70 years of combined experience in the field.

“We don’t just rent out

tools,” Lance Brown said.

“We make sure we’re giving you the right tools.”

Lance noted that the Brown family has been a fixture of the area since the early 1900s, when his grandfather owned a meat market. Brown’s father followed by building boats and trailers locally, so Lance is proud to be able to carry

on that connection by serving small contractors and homeowners whose business he believes has been neglected.

“We’re here because the community wanted us

back,” Lance Brown said.

Pilchuck Rentals is located at 9114 State Ave. in Marysville. For more information, call them at 360322-7760 or log onto www. rental-equipment.biz.

Arlington Depot opens

lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The brand new visitor information center and restroom facility located near Legion Park in downtown Arlington, was officially opened to the public during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 28, hosted by the city of Arlington.

The facility, which is adjacent to Centennial Trail, includes a meeting room that is free for use by nonprofit organizations as well as a foyer with local visitor information.

The building sits on what was once a railroad area and is now frequented by visitors walking and bicycling through downtown Arlington, but the image of the facility as a train depot remains. A railroad crossing sign reads “Centennial Trail” and the meeting room houses local artwork depicting trains.

The ribbon-cutting event began with a bike ride on the trail and included some vintage cars and machinery, free popcorn and live music from the Brass Menagerie Band in the lot near the building. The antiques were borrowed from Brent and Connie McKinley and Mike Thomas. Locals of all ages gathered around in support of the new building and

many purchased shirts stating “Meet me in Arlington” that used artwork from local artist Caroline Sumpter.

“This will help the businesses down here so much,” said MJ Drush, president of the Downtown Arlington Business Association. “For families using the trail to walk downtown, they can stop and eat or get ice cream.

We are the only place on the trail where the restroom is downtown and not in a remote setting.”

Drush mentioned that local community events would also benefit from the location of the new restrooms, especially those that take place at Legion Park.

“The farmer’s market, the car show, the street fair.

These could all use a public restroom,” said Drush.

City of Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez was impressed with how many people showed interest in the facility.

“This is a really good turnout,” she said. “Everyone is glad to have the restrooms here and downtown.” Lopez agreed that the new facility will be beneficial for the city’s events.

“It’s nice because we won’t have to bring in porta-potties,” Lopez said.

City Council member Marilyn Oertle spoke during the dedication of the building.

Eagles lose close match to Bearcats

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MONROE — The Arlington High School tennis team played tough but lost 5-2 to the Monroe High School Bearcats in an away game on Tuesday, May 1.

The loss to Monroe follows an earlier loss to Snohomish High School on April 27.

“We played Snohomish at home. They are very strong, they are top in the league, so they won 6-1,” said AHS Head Coach Jill Hatfield. Before the Monroe match, Hatfield predicted that the match could swing either way.

“I think it’s going to be close. Monroe has some players that they didn’t have last time we beat them,” Hatfield said.

Those players must have helped the team because the Bearcats ended up taking the win. Arlington senior Kelsey Ghirardo, the Eagles’ number one player, scored during the match with two 6-0 defeats over Monroe’s Belle Chen.

Eagles’ junior Macy Mackey played well and put up quite a fight during the first match, but was ultimately defeated

by Monroe’s LeAnna Heit

7-5 and 6-1. Other singles scores include McKenna Prause who won the first singles match against Monroe’s Chloe Erikson with a score of 3-6 but lost the next two with scores of 6-3 and 6-2. Karissa Robinson was defeated by Janae Groeneweg of Monroe with scores of 6-3 and 6-3.

In doubles play, Maya Manzano and Amber Olander pulled out a win over Monroe’s Crystal Pina and Miriah Clem with scores of 6-4, 2-6 and 6-1. Other doubles scores include Katrina Roys and Sara Deeter’s loss to Bearcats’ Melissa Reyling and Jamie Hawkins in a 6-1, 6-1 defeat. Kyle Kilmer and Bianca Carlson played tough but lost to Monroe’s Shae Love and Sarah Lunstrum with a score of 6-1 and 6-3.

Despite the close match, Arlington’s record still shines above that of Monroe. The Eagles stand with a record of 3-10 league and 4-10 overall, while Monroe’s record sits at 1-11 league and 3-11 overall.

The Eagles now head to the 4A North Division Tournament on May 9 at 1 p.m. and May 10 at 3 p.m. at Arlington High School.

Knights’ Baughman looks forward to state

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Alesha Baughman, co-captain of Highland Christian Knights softball team.

ARLINGTON — As a co-captain of the Highland Christian softball team, Alesha Baughman knows a lot about hard work.

Baughman started playing softball during her freshman year at the school and since she’d never done it before, she struggled at first. But now that she is in her fourth year and hoping she heads to the state championships at the end of the month, she feels confident in her skills.

“Senior year has been the best year so far,” said Baughman, who mentioned that at first she struggled with hitting. “I’d borrow a bat, bring it home and just get familiar with it,” she said. “Just this year, my friend and I have been going to the batting cages three or four times a month, just to get better.”

This year marked another change for Baughman; she began playing catcher.

“Learning how to play catcher was definitely tough,” she said.

“But now I love it.” As soon as she got used to standing so close to the batter, she grew into her role as catcher as well as shortstop, which she said is her favorite aspect of the game.

“I would definitely have to say I love shortstop,” she said. “I love all the action and how you have to ready yourself for whatever happens.”

But Baughman doesn’t only shine on the ball field. She also makes sure to support her fellow players, and her fellow captain, Esther Brown. “Our team has grown tremendously over the years,” she said. “We’ve had the same pitcher, Esther Brown, and I’ve been so impressed with her.

She just keeps getting better.”

Her coach, Louie Quesnell, thinks she deserves recognition for her teamwork and dedication, as well as her strong game.

“Alesha has been doing a great job for us this year,” said Quesnell.

Both Quesnell and Baughman are hoping that the Knights make it to the state championships on May 25-26 in Yakima following their games against Quilcene High School on May 14 and May 16.

“We are definitely trying hard to make it to state,” said Baughman.

After she graduates, Baughman is planning to attend Everett Community College and then transfer to a university. Although she doesn’t yet know what her major will be, she does know that she hopes to make it on to the Trojans softball team. “I am definitely trying out,” Baughman said.

“I love softball and I will continue to play as long as I live.”

Arlington’s Englert becomes Eagle Scout Bill Blake to coordinate.

While Englert’s father Dave assisted with the construction, the city of Arlington purchased the concrete from Arlington Hardware & Lumber. Englert estimated that at least 80 hours were spent on planning, while the manual labor took place over the course of two Saturdays.

“I double-checked all the measurements,” Englert said.

“The first weekend, we dug the holes. The second weekend, we poured the concrete and set the rings at a level so that they wouldn’t flood out.”

In the wake of his March 4 Court of Honor, Englert is still looking forward to three more years of Scouting, and plans to train as an assistant

scoutmaster so that he can become a full scoutmaster after he’s aged out of being a Scout himself.

“I’ll try to pass on my knowledge and experience to other Scouts, to guide them toward becoming Eagle Scouts themselves,” Englert said. “I want to stay in as long

as I can to help younger kids along their paths.”

“I’m happy that Scouting has been here to help mold boys into young men,” Englert’s mom Teri said.

“We’re very grateful to all the adult volunteers who have given of their time for these outings as well.”

ARLINGTON — Although Kennedy Englert of Boy Scout Troop 92 has since turned 15, he was only 14 when he was just recently awarded his Eagle Scout Rank at a Court of Honor in the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall.

“I always wanted to be like the older kids who were the leaders,” said Englert, an Arlington High School freshman who’s served as an assistant patrol leader and patrol leader, as well as scribe, before taking on his current role as the senior patrol leader for Troop 92. He’s also earned 23 merit badges and is working on his automotive maintenance, cooking and biking merit badges.

Englert’s career in Scouting started in first grade, when he became a Tiger Cub, and culminated with his Eagle Scout service project to install 24 campfire rings

and build two large picnic tables at the Country Charm Park and Recreation Area in Arlington.

“It took practically the whole troop,” said Englert, who enlisted 27 volunteers from the Scouts and family members of Troop 92 to devote 180 hours to completing the project, which he worked with city of Arlington Natural Resources Director

Arlington in the running for ‘Friendliest Small Town’

Be sure to check out our GREEN EDITIONS online at: www.marysville.com/green_editions

Building Trust Since 1935

ARLINGTON — Rand McNally and USA Today are conducting their annual “Best of the Road” contest, and M.J. Drush thinks Arlington has a shot at putting itself on the map.

Drush, the president of

the Downtown Arlington Business Association, explained that one of the categories in the “Best of the Road” contest is “Friendliest Small Town,” for towns and cities with populations of 150,000 or less.

Get Your Heat Pump or Furnace Serviced “NOW”.

“Walla Walla was the top vote-getter in the ‘Friendliest’ category last year, and it did it with only 387 votes,” Drush said. “We can win this thing.”

Drush came to Arlington as a Navy wife who had never visited the town before, but she’s fallen so much in love with it that she wants her adopted hometown to receive the national exposure that would come with winning the title.

“Rand McNally and USA

Today would come with film crews and ready to write articles about us,” Drush said.

Although the number of online votes cast at bestoftheroad.com is a criterion for the contest, Drush added that the “Best of the Road” contest organizers are also looking for enthusiasm and anecdotes about each of the towns for whom people vote in the various categories.

The contest deadline is Tuesday, May 15.

ARLINGTON — On Thursday, April 26, at approximately 8:15 a.m., Arlington Police arrested a 32-year-old Marysville man believed to be connected to a string of six commercial burglaries in Arlington.

That afternoon, police served a search warrant at the Arlington motel where the suspect had been staying, and were able to recover additional evidence, including stolen property and drugs.

The suspect was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of six felony counts of burglary in the second degree, and additional charges will be referred to the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office for review.

Burglary in the second degree is a Class B felony punishable by confinement in a state correctional institution for a maximum term of 10 years, by a maximum fine of $20,000, or by a combination of the two.
