Although the “Pumpkins for Literacy” program’s methods of allocating its funds underwent a slight revision a couple of years ago, its focus on literacy programs has remained intact. “We’ve been looking to simplify the process,” said Edmonds, who noted that Rotary had previously handed out checks for $1,000 each to every elementary school in Marysville, Lakewood and Arlington. “Pumpkins for Literacy” monies are now dispensed based on the needs of the schools and other organizations in question. While 100 percent of the Pumpkin Patch proceeds go to literacy programs in the community, these are no longer limited to books in local elementary school libraries. Last year, community groups were able to submit grant applications for after-school programs, English as a second language, adult learning pro-

Chamber meeting debates charter schools BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Charter schools were the topic of debate at the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce’s Business Before Hours on Friday, Sept. 28, as Ken Mortland and Shannon Campion hashed out Initiative 1240, a November ballot measure that, if approved by the voters, would allow a limited number of public charter schools in Washington state. Campion serves as executive director of the Washington chapter of Stand for Children, one of the groups supporting the initiative, while Mortland is a retired teacher from the Northshore

School District in Bothell, who taught there from 1970 to 2007. Mortland opened his remarks by asserting that public charter schools would compete with existing public education, rather than complementing it. He noted that while charter schools are required to have open enrollment, this does not necessarily include transporting students to the school, nor does it factor in the lottery system by which students at a number of charter schools are admitted. “There is evidence that charter schools sift out disabled or underachieving students,” Mortland said. “The demand on tax revenues increases as charter schools siphon away public edu-

cation money.” While Mortland believes that allowing charter schools in the state would contradict the state Legislature’s Supreme Courtmandated priority to ensure adequate education for all the state’s students, Campion countered by characterizing charter schools as allowing “the money to follow the students,” regardless of which educational options they choose. “The goal is to provide another option, to meet the needs of struggling students,” Campion said. “It recognizes that one size does not fit all.” Campion touted the greater SEE CHARTER, PAGE 2

COMMUNITY:

LAKEWOOD — The Plant Farm at Smokey Point is again covered in pumpkins as the Rotary Club of Marysville’s annual “Pumpkins for Literacy” program gears up to kick off on Saturday, Oct. 6, and run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, through Halloween on Wednesday, Oct. 31. Around a dozen Rotarians were joined by half a dozen friends and family members at the Plant Farm on Saturday, Sept. 29, to start placing pumpkins and preparing the site for visitors, whose dollars from their pumpkin purchases will go back into the surrounding community. “We’ll probably set out about 10 tons of pumpkins today, and 20 tons by later next week,” Marysville Rotary Pumpkin Patch Czar David Edmonds said on Sept. 29. “It should add up to about 40 tons total throughout the event.”

CHARTER FROM PAGE 1 flexibility of charter schools to set their own schedules and budgets, while still requiring the same certifications of teachers and the same academic requirements of students. “We can’t make excuses for the growing achievement gap,” said Campion, who explained that Initiative 1240 was drawn from “the best parts” of other states’ laws on charter schools. “It’s important for our low-income and urban children to be able to graduate and go on to college of a trade.” During the question-andanswer portion of the debate, more than one attendee expressed concerns about charter schools to Campion, with one parent wondering whether non-charter schools would see their funding reduced, while another audi-

ence member asked what percentage of charter schools yield the high-performing results that Campion pointed to in the best charter schools from across the country. Campion responded by comparing charter schools to STEM and other alternative schools as yet another option for students, and reiterated that the November ballot measure represents the lessons learned from the 41 states to have implemented charter schools already. Mortland followed up by arguing that the state’s 480 innovation schools could serve those students if they were tasked with doing so, before citing statistics showing that 17 percent of charter schools are highly effective, while 37 percent are lower in effectiveness and the remaining 46 percent show no difference at all relative to non-charter public schools. “There’s no silver bullet,” said Campion, who

warned that the state is falling behind on STEM education. “If there’s no demand for them, the charter schools won’t work, but our students deserve that option.” “The public school system will do as good a job as we make it do,” said Mortland, who claimed that the state’s graduation rate has been flat and near an all-time high for the past two decades. “This is a bird walk of looking at lovely, wonderful, unrealistic things.” Chamber Board Chair John Bell drew laughter from the crowd when he reported that the meeting’s informal straw poll yielded 23 votes in favor of charter schools and 23 opposed. The Marysville First Assembly of God Church will host another public debate on Initiative 1240 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11.

In the meantime, Rotarians reflected on the history of this event as they hefted pumpkins onto the grassy field on Sept. 29. “It’s just a great chance for families to enjoy themselves and relax,” Marysville Rotary President Kelly Peterson said. “I look forward to being together with my own family, without stressing over deadlines. Of course, Rotary is my extended family,” he laughed. Fellow Rotarians David Rumsey and Loren Van Loo recalled when the Rotarians themselves had to plant pumpkin seeds by hand and then harvest the pumpkins for the Pumpkin Patch, roughly a decade ago, while former Marysville Mayor Dennis Kendall echoed Peterson’s characterization of the Pumpkin Patch as a family-friendly activity. “Kids can walk around through the mud and their

Toni Mathews is likewise resuming her duties of booking tour groups to the Plant Farm for the Pumpkin Patch, which Terry Brandon, executive director of human resources for the Marysville School District, deemed a valuable educational resource for the school groups from Marysville, Arlington and Lakewood who will be

visiting it throughout the month. “We are so grateful to the Rotary for their funding,” Brandon said. “We hear from kids and parents alike at the schools how much they enjoy and appreciate this. It really shows the community’s support for its school districts.” To book your own group at the Plant Farm at Smokey Point for “Pumpkins for Literacy,” contact Mathews at the Marysville branch of the Whidbey Island Bank, by phone at 360-657-3100 for via email at tonim@wibank. com.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

No time to lose

very week, over 100 women in Washington state are diagnosed with breast cancer. Being diagnosed with this disease is as scary as you can CHERYL SHAW imagine. I would know. Two years ago, I was diagnosed. Because I had the unending support of my family, a great job with a compassionate staff, health insurance and — most importantly — an early diagnosis I was fortunate. For far too many women — and men — in our community, this is not the case. I hear these stories every day. I hear about a woman in Renton, a single parent who received a breast cancer diagnosis. Too sick to work full time, it is a challenge to just keep a roof over her daughter’s head, let alone affording her cancer treatments. A friend in Bellevue shared a story about her cousin who, lacking health insurance, couldn’t afford to pay for breast cancer screenings. She has just been diagnosed with stagefour breast cancer. When I hear these stories it touches me personally, and it reinforces the urgency of Komen Puget Sound’s mission. Women and families in our community are hurting today. We need to stop this madness, provide the support that they need today and find a cure for breast cancer now. Lives are at stake. There is no time to lose. All of us at Komen Puget Sound bring this personal sense of urgency to the work we do every day, as we have for nearly 20 years. Komen Puget Sound is the single largest provider of breast cancer services to women in Washington state and the largest private provider of free mammograms to low income women. Last year, Komen-funded mammograms resulted in a breast cancer diagnosis for over 240 women in our community. Our Komen Patient Assistance fund provided financial assistance to over 500 local, low income breast cancer patients, covering their basic needs while they undergo treatment. While I am proud of what we have accomplished, I am even more mindful of all that still needs to be done. Too many of us have lost a wife, a sister, a mother, a daughter, a friend to breast cancer. While we at Komen certainly had our share of setbacks early this year, the setbacks have only strengthened our sense of urgency. We refuse to be distracted. There is too much work to do and too many women who rely on our support. Most importantly many of our donors, sponsors and volunteers understand our urgency and continue to help during this critical time. But it is clear that we need increased support to ensure that every woman faced with breast cancer is not a victim of the setbacks we have experienced. Together we can win our fight and end breast cancer forever. To learn more about Komen Puget Sound and our mission, please visit us online at www.komenpugetsound.org. And please do so today. There’s no time to lose.

New substations signals a new energy era

he scene: It is a dark and stormy night. Howling wind bowls trees over. Lightning bolts flash. Cars skid off wet pavement to knock down power poles. Homes go dark across east Marysville, sending householders groping toward shelves and drawers where, dependent on their state of memory and degree of organization, flashlights and candles might be found. Service would be restored. It always is though, depending on the amount of damage, half-cooked suppers cool and precious episodes of Wipe-Out or America’s Got Talent go unwatched. The PUD’s promptness in restoring service depends on its ability to tap into nearby substations for power, a move that grows more difficult against a background of increasing demand. And that’s why the substation on Highway 528 is being redone. Day by day, commuters have noted the comings and goings of heavy equipment, the disappearance of all transformers but one, digging and filling and shoring up, the procession of special equipment. To the uninitiated, the job seemed overly heavy in equipment and manpower but since the Snohomish County PUD isn’t in the business of squandering construction dollars and knows all there is to know about updating substations, efficiency was at work that was invisible to passers-by. Work on the substation is nearing completion. Because of its location, commuters have kept tabs on the progress since May when the old equipment was taken off line. It is such a complete re-do that almost nothing of the old facility remains. Think of it as comparable with a mechanic jacking up a radiator cap to attach a new car under it. The old transformers served for fifty years, were tired and retired. Engineers established specifications and drew plans during 2011, then sat on them while the actual work was scheduled and the season of spring

storms passed. It wouldn’t have been smart to tempt weather related outages at a time when the Marysville project plus three similar PUD substations were off-line for renovation. Costs for the Marysville substation alone totaled $4 million. Across the 7,000 subscribers, it can serve, that $4 million breaks down to over $570 per subscriber. Consider the per-household cost the next time you wonder at the size of your electricity bill. Substation equipment is pricey. My non-technical mind compares the small patch of transforming and distributing hardware with a $4 million home and says, Wow! In the past 40 years, the PUD has grown from serving 120,000 customers to 325,000, leaving a once-workable old system struggling to handle today’s load of energy distribution tasks. The re-vamped substation is geared to work with the system’s new $13 million Energy Control and Data Center that helps to bring the PUD up to speed with today’s standard for smart grids. The quick answer to why they tossed out old and installed new equipment is the growing need to expand capacity. The two-pronged demand for more electricity comes from a growing number of residential and business subscribers and that each customer uses more electricityconsuming inventions. Check the displays at Walmart to see how much stuff has a cord and a plug. Of course the change-over is designed to better protect us from power outages. When a violent storm knocks out one substation, information on how and why the circuits went down has to be processed into work orders. The new equipment’s fiber optic connection to the PUD’s

diagnostic data center happens within the blink of an eye. To achieve that, the Marysville project replaced five circuits with seven circuits, each able to serve 1,000 subscribers as before and each is programmed to automatically diagnose problems. Further, the Marysville equipment is programmed to work in conjunction with all thirty substations in the PUD service area which speeds switchovers to cover outages when any part of the system goes off line. This automation replaces a laborious manual system that, while it worked well in the past, couldn’t meet the needs of an increasingly energy-dependent society. It seems we’ve forgotten how to soldier on when traffic lights, computers, entertainment and communications shut down. Though the new stuff is touted as admirably efficient, I’m a little wistful about losing magical candlelight evenings spent with the family. This year’s round of substation updates is a demonstration of the PUD’s response to challenges ahead. Facing new fleet standards of 54.5 mpg for vehicles (effective in 2025), garages across town will be re-wired to charge electric cars. And that, too, will be affected by the ongoing race to develop better batteries for cars. As the PUD finds itself energizing a growing fraction of the county’s rolling stock, energy distribution may again have to change. How much demand transportation might place on the PUD’s capacity is the subject of wild guesses since no one can predict the future ratio between electric and petroleum vehicles. Nor can we predict how much alternative energy will flow through the PUD’s lines or the efficiency of new electric vehicles. The one thing that is not guesswork is that electrical engineers will enjoy job security for years to come.

TULALIP — When the Knolla family stopped by the Tulalip Cabela’s store on the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 26, they weren’t expecting to be greeted by members of the Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561 and given applause by the surrounding crowds, but those who attended that day’s brief ceremony wanted to show their support for the family through its struggles and sacrifices. Lt. Cmdr. John Knolla is a 27-year Navy veteran currently stationed on the USS Nimitz, now home-ported at Naval Station Everett. His wife of 23 years, Elissa, has had to cope with his frequent deployments, including Iraq. Both John and Elissa have had to cope with the challenges of raising their 12-year-old son Daniel, who was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis at the age of 4, before being additionally diagnosed with indeterminate colitis, osteoporosis and Frey’s Syndrome a few years later. While Daniel’s medical condition has left him in near-constant pain, fishing remains one of the few activities that he can engage in regardless of how well he’s feeling at the moment. As such, it was especially disappointing to the family when John’s recent relocation to this area created a scheduling conflict that left Daniel unable to go salmon fishing with Jeremy Wade of the

“River Monsters” TV show, courtesy of the Dreams Come True Foundation. “Our employees had the opportunity to meet Daniel and his mother while they were shopping at this store for a canoe that the Dreams Come True Foundation was purchasing for him,” said Katie Sanford, the Tulalip Cabela’s marketing manager. “When our managers heard Daniel’s story and his dream to go fishing, they decided to make his dream come true.” Cabela’s partnered with Jim and Jennifer Stahl of NW Fishing Guides to take Daniel and his family on a fishing trip down the Snohomish River on Saturday, Sept. 29, immediately before John’s next deployment. “I was about to turn around when I looked behind me and I saw my mom telling me to keep going,” said Daniel Knolla, who was unsure how to respond to the chorus of cheers he and his family generated at the Tulalip Cabela’s on Sept. 26. “I’ve been fishing for as long as I can remember. I love the scenery and everything else about it. I don’t like fish dinners, though.” “I’m so grateful that all of these people have taken the time to come together and show us the warmth of their hearts,” Elissa Knolla said on Sept. 26. “This is just a great opportunity for us to get away from all of our appointments and focus on the positives.

Marysville names Volunteers of the Month look the same way that we feel about it.” “Those are encouraging words, and I couldn’t agree more,” Nehring said. The campaign included: n Clearing thistles and weeds, and trimming overgrown plants at Grove Elementary School. n Landscaping improvements at Grove Elementary and Marysville-Pilchuck High School. n Repainting buildings, and re-roofing and repairing the Little League ballfield dugouts at Marysville Middle School, and removing graffiti from the scoreboards.

n Spreading play chips to improve six city parks; Jennings Memorial Park, Youth Peace Park, Cedarcrest Vista Park, Tuscany Park, Foothills Park and Verda Ridge Park. n Spreading landscape bark at the Marysville City Hall and Public Safety Building. In total, Marysville First Assembly of God Church volunteers installed 150 cubic yards of play chips and 70 yards of landscape bark. This is by no means the only volunteer service that the Marysville First Assembly of God

Church has given back to the community. According to Nehring, the church’s popular “Got Trash Day” event was part of the city’s “Community Clean Sweep Week” activities earlier this year, and the church filled more than a dozen

industrial containers to help residents get rid of old throw-away items as part of their own spring cleaning around the house. Nehring credited the church with helping with numerous city Parks and Recreation efforts, as well.

If you know an unsung hero or group that you would like to nominate for Volunteer of the Month for making a difference in the community, visit the city of Marysville’s website at http://marysvillewa.gov/ volunteerofthemonth.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recently recognized members of the Marysville First Assembly of God Church as Volunteers of the Month for August for their “I Heart Marysville” cleanup campaign that same month. During the week of Aug. 6-10, 130 volunteers — including 40 youths of all ages — participated in the church’s “I Heart Marysville” campaign as part of a pledge to set a good example in taking care of the community they call home. At the Monday, Sept. 24, Marysville City Council meeting where Marysville First Assembly of God Church Lead Pastor Nik Baumgart and Media and Communications Pastor Daniel Livengood accepted the honor, Nehring praised the church members for their mission to serve where they live. Nehring repeated comments made earlier by Marysville First Assembly of God Church Children’s Pastor Fawnda Faucett when she said, “We live here, we work here, our kids go to school here and we worship here, so we want to help our community in any way we can. Through our ‘I Heart Marysville’ campaign, we wanted to clean up Marysville and make it

Tomahawks top Chargers 42-7 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Marysville Getchell’s Daniel McNabb, right, runs down Marysville-Pilchuck’s Austin Joyner in the first ever Berry Bowl on Friday, Sept. 28. The Tommies emerged victorious with a final score of 42-7.

MARYSVILLE — The stands were completely packed on Friday, Sept. 28, for the first ever in-league football game between neighbors, Marysville Getchell and MarysvillePilchuck, and despite a good start to the Chargers’ season, the Tomahawks emerged victorious with a 42-7 win. The rivalry game, recently dubbed the Berry Bowl, brought with it an immense crowd and the Tommies took full advantage of the game’s popularity to prove their strength. M-P’s quarterback Jake Luton had an incredible night, starting with the first touchdown of the game and two of the four touchdowns scored in the first half. Although they scored often in the first half, it was really M-P’s defense that proved their strength throughout the game. “I thought we did a good job on defense tonight,” said

M-P’s head coach Brandon Carson. “This defense is as good as we’ve played all year.” That skill was particularly evident during the final seconds of the second quarter when the defense successfully stopped an MG drive despite two defensive penalties for roughing the kicker, giving the Chargers extra opportunities to score. When the Tomahawks regained possession of the ball — with only seven seconds left in the first half — Luton threw a 19-yard pass to Connor Martinis for a touchdown. “Connor Martinis, Jake Luton and Kacey Walker all did a great job tonight,” said Carson. “Luton made some huge, huge throws, especially that one right before the half.” For Getchell, it was simply a struggle for them to respond to the strength of the Tomahawks defense, yet they finally scored a touchdown on a 14-yard pass from quarterback Dylan Diedrich

October 3, 2012

to running back Wil Owens. “We’ve got some more building to do at Getchell,” said Davis Lura. “Hats off to the team at M-P. We had trouble stopping them and we had trouble moving the ball.” Despite the rivalry between the two local teams, Lura insisted that there was no bad blood. “It’s great for the community to have this rivalry, I’ve never seen this place this packed before,” said Lura. “These kids all grew up together. Sometimes you hear the bad stuff, but they come from three middle schools, they’ve played together before. They seemed like they were having a good time.” The Tomahawks agreed. “Our kids were excited, they knew who they were playing,” said Carson. “We just need to continue to keep getting better.” M-P is set to face Stanwood at home on Friday, Oct. 5, and MG heads to play at Everett on Friday, Oct. 5.

Marysville Getchell hosts Twilight Invite BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — For the first time in Marysville history, the sixth annual Twilight Cross Country Invitational was hosted on Saturday, Sept. 29, by the Marysville Getchell Chargers, rather than the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks, though both teams performed as “two parts of one community.” The Twilight Invitational is so named because the competition takes place during the evening under the lights of the Cedarcrest Golf Course, with 65 visiting schools and more than 2,000 athletes from all over Washington competing in the 5,000 meter race. Both Marysville Getchell and Marysville-Pilchuck varsity runners found success at the event. MGHS varsity boys placed 23rd in the event as a team and M-P varsity boys placed 29th as a team. “The Twilight Cross Country Invitational is something that has been with me

while I was coaching at M-P,” said MG head coach Randy Edens. “Last year we shared it, and this year is our first completely hosting it.” Most of MG’s team already knew the course as it is a home base for them, but it was exciting for a team as young as the Chargers to have a successful invite to call their own. “Every year it’s grown and we’ve got a pretty unique concept attached to a new school, so it gives our kids a sense of pride,” said Edens. “We saw really good times for our kids.” MG’s Cameron Wagstaff took 82nd place with a time of 17:24.8 and Mitch Ryiter placed 110th with a time of 17:51.6. Thomas Lindgren’s 17:57.9 time took him to 117th place, while Roger Devora finished 143rd with a final time of 18:28.6. Garrett Westover’s 18:51.6 time took him to 161st place and Jake Shearer finished with a time of 19:11.6. “Cameron Wagstaff ran our fastest time of 17.25

and Thomas Lindgren ran a 17.58. Those two were really impressive,” said Edens. MG’s varsity girls runners placed 18th as team. Rachel Lefstad finished in sixth place with a time of 18:54.2 and Nicole Buell placed 108th with a time of 21:31.7. “Rachel Lefstad finished in the 18-minute range, which is just a huge personal record for her,” said Edens.”It’s nice to see these kids not only have a good time, but compete well.” Hannah Fink finished with a time of 21:39.2 bringing her to 114th place, while Lindsay Atterbury finished 117th with a time of 21:40.8. Shaleen Troxel’s 21:52.3 time placed her at 123rd, while Sam Gibson finished 136th with a 22:15.3 time. For the Tomahawks varsity boys team, Chris Moen finished 88th with a time of 17:30.3, David Gloyd took 132nd place with a time of 18:16.8, Michael Dufour finished in 164th place with 18:52.6 as a final time. Josh

Bevan finished 167th place with a time of 18:57.4 and Israel Lopez finished 191st with a final time of 19:44, while Nate Heckendorf ’s final time of 20:30.9 placed him at 199th. The two Marysville teams were not the only local

presence at the event — Lakewood cross country also made an appearance and a strong one at that. The Lakewood JV 9-10th grade boys ran to finish 12th overall with their team scores, while the JV 11-12th grade boys placed 15th over-

all with their team scores. Lakewood’s female runners made an impression, with freshman Lilly Whitehead placing ninth with an overall time of 21:56.5 and senior Emily Bainbridge placing 12th with a time of 22:25.7.

MARYSVILLE — On Monday, Sept. 24, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring declared October to be Alpha Delta Kappa Appreciation Month, to recognize the local group of women educators for their contributions to the community and education. The Marysville chapter’s altruistic contributions to their community include monetary donations and hours of service to the Marysville Community Food Bank, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, St. Joseph’s House, Kloz for Kids, the Children’s Orthopedic Hospital, the Everett Women and Children’s Shelter, Ronald McDonald House and many other charitable projects. The key goals of the organization are to recognize outstanding educators, to build a fraternal fellowship among educators adding to their effectiveness in promoting excellence in education, and to promote educational, cultural and charitable projects that enrich the lives of individuals. “We salute the contributions of women educators to the health and well-being of all citizens,” Nehring said.

MARYSVILLE — At approximately 2:12 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 25, Marysville Police responded to a report of an armed robbery of the Shell station in the 1200 block of Fourth Street. Upon arrival, officers contacted the clerk, a 24-yearold Marysville woman, who reported that, while she was working, a man walked in, displayed a handgun and demanded money. According to the clerk, she provided him with an undisclosed amount of cash from the register, after which the suspect fled westbound from the store. The suspect was described as a Native American man in his late teens, wearing a black hooded jacket. At approximately 6:35 a.m., Marysville Police received a tip that the robbery suspect was currently at a residence in the 1200 block of Beach Avenue. Officers arrived and observed the suspect, who was later determined to be a 15-year-old Tulalip youth, before taking him into custody without incident, recovering a loaded dark-colored revolver and a large quantity of cash in the process. Marysville Detectives responded to the scene to assist in the investigation. The suspect was booked into the Denny Juvenile Justice Center on suspicion of robbery in the first degree.

MILITARY BRIEF

Arthur Henr y Moll August 8, 1929 — September 26, 2012

Sara Rodriguez Army Reserve Pvt. Sara Rodriguez has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises. Rodriguez is the daughter of Ruben Rodriguez of 155th Avenue, Yelm. She is a 2009 graduate of MarysvillePilchuck High School.

Arthur Henry Moll II, age 83, passed away peacefully on September 26, 2012, in Anacortes, Washington. A loving devoted husband, father, grandfather, greatgrandfather, brother and friend, Arthur will be missed by all who knew him. Born on August, 8, 1929, in Arlington, Washington, he was the second of four children born to Carl and Lorene Moll. He was a graduate of Arlington High School. While attending college in Texas he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War. Serving in Germany he was honorably discharged in 1952.

Soon after arriving home he met and married Margaret Ellen Wheeler, the love of his life. They shared 59 loving years together and were blessed with four daughters. For a time Arthur worked with his father, owner of Moll Funeral Home in Arlington, that business having been started by his grandfather, Arthur Henry Moll I in the early years of that town. In 1961, Arthur moved his family to Ketchikan, Alaska to work at Ketchikan Mortuary which he purchased in 1963 and operated for 38 years before retiring to Anacortes, Washington. Arthur enjoyed hunting, boating, fishing, walks with

his dogs, spending time with the family, and being in the great outdoors. A staunch Republican, he liked a good political debate. He served as City Councilman and Borough Assemblyman in Ketchikan. When the family gathered he would pull out the cribbage board. Arthur epitomized the best of his generation with hard work, unselfish sacrifice

for his family, loyalty to his friends, and devotion to his church and community. He was a life-long member of the Elks Club, American Legion, and VFW in Ketchikan, Alaska. Arthur is survived by his wife, Margaret; and daughters Laura Murph, Ketchikan, AK; Victoria Moll, Seattle, WA; Marie (Darrell) Mooers, Stayton, OR; and Karen (Urs) Geser, Houston, TX; ten grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; sister Carolyn Melby, Bakersfield, CA; brother Carl (Arliss) Moll of Arlington, WA; nephews, Alexander (Tanya) Moll and Eric (Paula) Moll and families; and nieces, Sarah Melby and Linda Gilli (Greg) and families. He was preceded in death

by his parents and brother, Charles Moll. A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, October 6, 2012 at Trinity Anglican Church, 1200 Cleveland Avenue, Mount Vernon, Washington with a reception to follow in the fellowship hall. A private graveside service for Moll family members will follow at 2:00 p.m. at the Arlington Cemetery in Arlington, Washington. Arrangements are in the care of Evans Funeral Chapel and Crematory, Inc., Anacortes, WA and the San Juan Islands.
