Trafton celebrates Fall Festival BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TRAFTON — At the end of September, the Trafton Community Co-Op commemorated its first anniversary and the centennial of the former Trafton School that serves as its facilities. At the start of November, barely a month later, the former Trafton School was packed with families again, as the Trafton Community Co-Op staged its second annual Fall Festival on Saturday, Nov. 3. “We’ve had about 75 kids so far, running in and out and around,” said Pastor Gary Ray of the Oso Community Chapel, who coordinates the Trafton Community Co-Op with his daughter Randi. “We just wanted to offer something fun for the whole family

for not a lot of expense. It’s small and simple, but there’s a lot of variety here.” Indeed, the four-hour festival took up space on both floors of the former Trafton School. On the ground floor, Allen Sheran practiced his golf putting while Kylie Barton did her best to keep her hula hoop circling her waist and not falling on the floor. On the upper floor, Kael Baker practiced his pitching with a velcro ball toss while Ryan Ray, son of Gary and brother of Randi, did his best to pass on his recently acquired juggling skills. “I just started doing this over the summer,” Ryan Ray said, and he demonstrated his moves to Triston Moss and Orion Webb, with varying degrees of success. “I SEE TRAFTON, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — The northernmost end of the Centennial Trail in Snohomish County was officially opened nearly 30 years after the Pathfinders Task Force first met to turn an abandoned railroad line into a community trail system that now spans 30 miles. John Wynne resided in Lake Stevens when he joined the efforts to pave the trail, which were picked up by the Snohomish-Arlington Trail Coalition. Although he now lives in Alaska, he came down from Juneau to take part in the dedication ceremony for the Nakashima Heritage Barn and North Trailhead of the Centennial Trail on Saturday, Nov. 3.

“The Pathfinders Task Force was only able to go so far, because the Snohomish County Council at the time wasn’t listening,” Wynne said. “That’s why we formed the SnohomishArlington Trail Coalition.” Wynne credited many individuals and agencies with helping carry on the work on the Centennial Trail, and noted that both he and Arlington resident Bea Randall are former chairs of the Trail Coalition, but Randall simply said of her role that “this was a marathon run and I was privileged to carry it in the middle.” Snohomish County Parks Director Tom Teigen served as the emcee for the morning’s program, introducing not only Wynne but also Beth Hill, SEE TRAIL, PAGE 2

ducked my head into one of the tents at the Stillaguamish Festival of the River, and they taught me. The trick is to keep your arc consistent every time you throw the ball, so that you’re not running all over the place just to catch it.” While Ryan Ray’s onthe-spot juggling training proved to be one of the more popular activities for the older kids, Gary Ray echoed several parents who deemed the cakewalk and the “fishing booth” the busiest attractions among the younger children. “My youngest is 21, so my own kids are well past this stuff, but I’m still going strong with it,” said Cherene Graber, a 26-year member of the Oso Community Chapel who supervised a few of the day’s games. “I want there to be a positive place for our youth, where kids can be kids. Just seeing their smiles when they do things even as simple as throwing velcro darts is amazing.” Casey and Noelle Blacker brought their two sons, 8-month-old Aaron

one of the original “Housewives from Hell,” so named by former Snohomish County Executive Willis Tucker, who addressed the crowd on horseback. “It took the citizens to see the potential here,” said Hill, who not only shared credit for pushing the issue of the trail with Wynne, but also echoed Wynne’s praise for his fellow Pathfinders Task Force member Betty Bauer. “We helped raise awareness and money and talked with legislators. We would not let this go until it was finished.” Hill also thanked the Nakashima family for donating their farmland for the trailhead and parking. “I grew up in the Fife Valley, which had a great Japanese community,” Hill said. “A lot of them were removed from their homes during World War II and not compensated for it, which you don’t hear about as much in the history books, so it’s appropriate that this trailhead should be named after the

Gary Ray anticipates that next year’s Fall Festival might take place in September rather than October, to take better advantage of the Trafton School house’s outdoor playfields.

and 2-year-old Collin, and while Aaron was perhaps a bit too young to fully appreciate the activities, his big brother was more than ready to enter into the spirit of the event. “Collin’s at the age where he likes throwing things, and not necessarily at targets,” Casey Blacker laughed. “There’s just a friendly atmosphere and a hometown feel here. It’s great when you can take the kids out and just let them enjoy each other.” Darrell Shanks, who brought his own three sons,

Nakashima family.” Former Snohomish County Council member Ross Kane praised a number of fellow elected and government officials, both past and present, for their roles in bringing the Centennial Trail closer to completion, and pointed out that the real estate excise tax helped fund the project, “so everybody who bought and sold a house in this county in the 1990s, thank you,” he laughed. Teigen expressed his gratitude to Connie Reckord of MacLeod Reckord for their landscape architecture and design services, former King County official Tom Exton for his expertise on developing trail systems, and the Tulalip and Stillaguamish tribes for working with Snohomish County Parks and Recreation to ensure that any cultural artifacts that were unearthed during excavations were handled appropriately. “A mile of road costs between $7 million to $8 million to lay down now,” Teigen said. “A mile of trail costs $1 million, and when you include the costs of mitigating wetlands and the

like, that price tag grows exponentially.” Teigen estimated that Exton was paid approximately $7,000 for his advice, but in return, yielded “$150,000 worth of ideas that we can use for the next 30 years.” Rick Schranek did double-duty, speaking as both the current chair of the Centennial Trail Coalition and the vice president of the B.I.K.E.S. Club of Snohomish County. “I’m living proof that anyone can ride a bike, but it’s not much fun to do it with cars and trucks driving by,” Schranek said. “I hope Arlington will finish the last section of this trail next year, and I hope we’ve lit a fire that will see Skagit County continuing this trail.” Schranek invited community members to attend the Centennial Trail Coalition’s next meeting on Thursday, Nov. 15, from 6:30-8 p.m. in the Oso Fire Hall, located at 21824 State Route 530 NE in Arlington. The Nakashima Heritage Barn and North Trailhead of the Centennial Trail are located at 32328 Highway 9, north of Arlington.

Car show benefits Pilchuck Hot Rod Academy lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Pilchuck Hot Rod Academy raised more than $2,700 at their first car show on Saturday, Oct. 27, and hosted more than a dozen vintage and hot rod models. “Considering the rain, we had a great turnout,” said Kate Otey, event organizer. “We made $2,783 total,” said PHRA co-founder Dave Grinnell. “These funds are going to help pay the rent on our building.” Dozens of business and community members donated to support the fundraising effort. Local businesses included Brava’s Pizza and Pasta, Udderly Sweet Frozen Yogurt, Stocker Farms, KO Embroidery, Sandblasters Inc., Terry’s Transmission, Bill Barnes Award Services, Rex Rentals, Accurate Lines Collision and Custom Repair, Franks Doors, Kitchens Plus and Snoqualmie Gourmet Ice Cream. Live music was provided by Chris and the Steaming Logs Band. The car show marked the first for the academy, which aims to help young people who struggle in school learn the trade of restoring cars and ultimately find a job in that field. The PHRA was started by Grinnell and his business partners

Marcus Hansen and Otey. “We work with the Northwest Regional Learning Center, which gets kids from 14 school districts,” said Grinnell. “They get these kids that are having the worst time in school and those kids miss out on all the educational opportunities of the regular classroom. Here they can learn the vocational skills they need.” Grinnell and the rest of the academy directors don’t require that students get a high school diploma or GED, but they heavily encourage it. “We are supporting every effort it takes to get them there,” said Grinnell. “The words on our sign are diploma, GED, hot rods.” One success story from the PHRA is Steven McMichael, a 16-year-old student. “He’s 16 and he’s working at Accurate Lines Collision and he’s getting his GED,” said Grinnell. “He has a job, he’s getting the job skills, earning money and completing his schooling.” The PHRA helps a lot of students in special education classes as well. “I have to work one on one with them,” said Grinnell. “But the only school environment they have is right here.” People who are skilled in a specific area of car restoration are

Angie Skeeters admires an antique Ford Model A at the Pilchuck Hot Rod Academy Car Show on Oct. 27. invited to contact the PHRA for teaching opportunities. “If someone wants to teach a class they can, and the kids can learn something from them,” said Grinnell. The car show won’t be the last

event for the school, which plans to host a 1950s Valentine’s Day Ball the weekend before next Valentine’s Day. The Pilchuck Hot Rod Academy is located at 16319 Smokey Point Blvd. in Marysville and is open

Hatcheries critical to salmon management

love this time of year. The chinook, coho and chum are coming back and we’re filling our smokehouses and freezers for the coming winter. I am proud to say that a BILLY FRANK JR. good number of those returning fish came from our tribal hatcheries. We produce more than 40 million young salmon every year. Last year we released about 14 million chinook, 6 million coho, 20 million chum, 125,000 sockeye and 650,000 steelhead. Most tribal hatcheries produce salmon for harvest by both Indian and non-Indian fishermen. Some serve as wild salmon nurseries that improve survival of juvenile fish and increase returns of salmon in our watersheds that spawn naturally. At a time when the state is cutting back on hatchery programs because of a huge budget shortfall, tribes are increasingly picking up the tab to keep salmon coming home for everyone who lives here. Tribes are doing everything from taking over the operation of some state hatcheries to buying fish food and making donations of cash and labor to keep up production. That’s because we believe hatcheries play a critical role in fisheries management. Without them, our treaty rights would be meaningless because there would be no salmon for harvest — by anyone. Hatcheries must remain a central part of salmon management in western Washington for as long as lost and degraded habitat prevents our watersheds from naturally producing abundant, self-sustaining runs. We can’t allow hatcheries to be an excuse to walk away from protecting and restoring habitat. In fact, we can’t have hatcheries without habitat. That’s because once a salmon leaves a hatchery it needs the same habitat as a naturally produced salmon. Both need plenty of cool, clean water, good instream and marine nearshore habitat and access to and from the ocean. Because every watershed and its salmon are unique, we believe that the use of hatcheries should evolve over time depending on the health of our watersheds. Those with little or badly damaged habitat will likely need long-term or even permanent hatchery production to provide salmon for harvest and stock restoration. For watersheds where habitat can be restored, hatchery production may be reduced over time as the habitat is able to support abundant, naturally spawning runs. Hatcheries are a tool. Nothing more. Nothing less. We have hatcheries because of choices made in the past and choices that are still being made today about how we treat our environment. We think hatcheries work best when they work hand-in-hand with good harvest management and are combined with protecting and restoring habitat. That’s because hatcheries are not a substitute for plentiful, high-quality habitat and never will be.

Combustion upsetting natural balances

gassed up at the Smokey Point Costco for $3.97 per gallon. That hurt, but anything short of four bucks per gallon was a bargain. The per-gallon cost was only the out-of-pocket cost. Add exhaust stink, lung-searing pollution, water contamination and greenhouse gases to approach the total cost of a gallon of gas. President Obama announced new automobile fleet requirements of 54.5 mpg, effective 2025. Wow. Can it be done? Yes, it’s reachable, mainly because that number wasn’t based on average driving habits. The government’s testing standard assumes steady highway speeds that ensure optimum efficiency, not my driving. Add running errands and idling at stop-lights and watch that 54.5 figure plummet. The president okayed the 54.5 number because of real reasons that make it reachable. Improvements in engine technology, lighter vehicles and more hybrids will help to close the gap. Add a growing proportion of electric cars to the mix and the goal may be reached before 2025. Of course it will take more lean machines to counter the 638 hp Chevrolet Corvette and the 650 horse Ford Shelby. Luckily, European guzzlers like the Bugatti Super Sport, at 1,183 hp won’t be our problem to ponder. On the home front, one gallon of chainsaw gas cuts a lot of wood. Gas-cans hold portable energy that can be used in lots ways other than transportation. Gas powers outboard, motorcycles, trimmers and power-washers. Gasoline’s portability and storability ensure that it will remain the favorite fuel for internal combustion engines. The downside is that gas engines are only 25 to 30 percent efficient which is dismally low in these energy-conscious times. That’s not too bad when compared with the 6 percent efficiency of steam engines. But when tested

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

against electric motors, gas engines suck — suck fuel, that is. Even diesels that post 40 percent efficiency don’t come close to electric motors. Small electric motors convert about 80 percent of every kilowatt into useful work. Bigger motors in electric cars are above 90 percent efficient. Electric motors are the efficiency winners but can electricity be packed around or stored as easily as a can of gas? If so, then what are we waiting for? Let’s make the world a more efficient and cleaner place by junking all gas and diesel engines and replacing them with electric motors. Of course nothing is that simple. If we made an across the board switch from fossil-fuel vehicles to electrics, it would overwhelm the nation’s power grid. If everyone stopped paying gas tax we couldn’t support a highway system. If Harleys ran on electricity, how might riders replace the precious roar from gutted-out mufflers? Changing technology addresses some of these issues. New widespread small energy producers make an updated grid less vulnerable to domino-effect brown-outs. Germany attacks the car-tax problem by billing car-owners based on satellite readings that track the kilometers traveled by every vehicle. As to Harleys, noise-addicted riders could try clipping playing cards to the spokes of electric bikes with clothes pins. All this clean-energy talk has the fossil fuel industries in a dither. BP’s TV ads show happy tourists frolicking in the Gulf while claiming the company is the biggest private investor in American infrastructure. No

matter that most of that money was payment of fines for the Big Spill. Switch channels and you get the coal industry touting a Clean-Coal-Now message. No mention that much of the American coal they’re mining is being shipped overseas to fuel Chinese factories. The fossil fuel lobby works to sabotage alternative energy programs while new energy advocates document their pollution and safety issues. How this plays out will certainly have some effect on future designs for energy consuming devices. But American consumers don’t seem to feel any sense of immediacy to change habits. Figuring tomorrow won’t be much different from today, we sit back. We figure it’s the government’s responsibility, not ours. Besides, how much would my votes or personal choices affect the amount of coal burned in China? Voting where the polls never close always counts. I vote whenever I buy energy consuming things from energy consuming industries. And before I buy, I should keep in mind that America is the biggest energyconsumer in the world, therefore the most logical candidate for re-thinking its energy policy. It all boils down to one thing, combustion, and its effect on the planet’s future. Nearly all efforts to combat air pollution target combustion. With earth’s population now five times what it was a century ago and all of us burning more fuel than we did back then, combustion is upsetting natural balances that sustain us. The problem isn’t just coal or petroleum but natural gas, open fires, fireworks, cigarettes, backyard barbecues and wildfires. They all add greenhouse gases. Painting coal and oil interests as villains avoids targeting the real issue. It would help to reframe the issue in terms of combustion. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

Marysville holds All-City Food Drive

MARYSVILLE — This year’s All-City Food Drive for Marysville generated 6,063 pounds of food donations and $1,243 in cash and gift cards on Saturday, Nov. 3. April O’Brien and her son Trey were joined by Mary Vermeulen and her grandson Aden at the Fred Meyer for the day’s 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. shift. “The first shift collected six boxes full of food, which is not the norm,” April O’Brien said. “There’s usually hardly any take early in the day on the All-City Food Drive. O’Brien noted that toothpaste and dog food seemed to be especially popular choices for Fred Meyer shoppers to give away, along with the standard assortment of canned fruits and vegetables. “People have just been so generous overall,” said Mary Vermeulen, who agreed that their collection site had probably taken in at least 400 pounds of food between 9 a.m. and noon. “We appreciate that generosity.” The Marysville Pilchuck Volunteer Crew’s adult Dave Bodach and students Ashlynne Wright and Emily Ternes were hard-pressed to guess at how much food

had been collected at their site at the Marysville Safeway since the start of the day, but by 12:30 p.m., they figured they’d taken in about $200 in cash. “The donation amounts don’t seem noticeably less or more than previous years, but I do notice that our club has been doing more of these types of drives per year over the years,” said Bodach, who’s been taking part in such food drives for roughly the past dozen years, right around the time that a close relative found herself on the receiving end of such aid. “She needed the help she got. I’m aware that I’ve always been pretty blessed, so this is one way of giving back.” Members of the Marysville Kiwanis and Key clubs tried to figured out between them how much money and how many pounds of food they’d collected at the Albertsons by 1 p.m. “Has it been about 200 pounds?” asked Vicki Steffen of the Marysville Kiwanis Club. “No, more like 300 pounds,” said Alwyn Galang, president of the Marysville Getchell High School Key Club. “Probably more than that,” said Elaine Ferri, secretary of the Kiwanis.

and Smokey Point. Red barrels have been placed throughout the Marysville community since Nov. 3 and will continue collecting food and toys throughout the holiday season. Donations can also be dropped off at the Marysville Community Food Bank, located at 4150 80th St. NE, behind St. Mary’s Catholic Church. For more information, contact Tara Mizell at 360363-8404 or at tmizell@ marysvillewa.gov. Volunteers for the toy store should contact JoAnn Moffit at 425-8761010 or moffittbusichio@ yahoo.com.

AHS food drive runs Nov. 5-16

ARLINGTON — Monday, Nov. 5, marked the return of the annual food drive at Arlington High School. Each year, the AHS Leadership class develops a theme and coordinates the collection of non-perishable food items and money for the Arlington Community Food Bank. This year, to increase participation, the high school Leadership students have implemented a new focus and set of activities for the food drive. This year’s theme is “Feed the Family,” and AHS Leadership students are asking each student at the high school to bring one food item for each member of his or her family. The Leadership class has scheduled a series of activities requiring students to bring items or money to participate. These activities include “Just Dance” and “Minute to Win It” competitions pitting students against school staff members. This year will also mark the return of the familiar favorite, “Stop Mr. Ballew from Singing,” during which

students must pay a certain amount of money, or bring in a certain number of items, to stop AHS English teacher Ben Ballew from singing and playing annoying songs. In addition, the class has organized two “Blitz Nights,” during which students will go into Arlington neighborhoods to collect donations. The AHS Leadership class food drive runs from Nov. 5 through Friday, Nov. 16. The “Just Dance” competition and first “Blitz Night” will take place Friday, Nov. 9. The “Minute to Win It” competition is slated for Tuesday, Nov. 13. “Stop Mr. Ballew from Singing” and the second “Blitz Night” are both set for Thursday, Nov. 15. “The AHS Leadership class and student body are primed, excited and ready to go,” said Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District. “The spirit of servant leadership is alive and well at Arlington High School, and we expect the ‘Feed the Family’ food drive to be the most successful food drive ever.”

Lakewood football advances to state BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKE STEVENS — What should have been a sweep for the Cougars turned into a nailbiter on Friday, Nov. 2, as they faced Sedro-Woolley at Lake Stevens High School, managing to clinch a 21-14 victory over the Cubs and advance to state. Lakewood football was undefeated for most of the season and despite their strength, the Cubs came ready to win and gave the Cougars a bit of a scare. “I want to congratulate Sedro-Woolley for this game,” said Lakewood head coach Dan Teeter. “They outcoached us, they out-played us. They deserved to win this game more than us.” Coach Teeter and other members of the coaching staff told the team after the game

that they will have to make some changes if they are going to be competitive in the state tournament. “We are going to play Capital or W.F. West. W.F. West beat us last year and Capital were state champions,” Teeter told the team. “We can’t make these mistakes.” Some of the issues that had coaches rattled were turnovers, fumbles and interceptions — had only one or two plays gone differently it could have changed the outcome of the game. Teeter noted that a few players missed practice because of colds. “They are going to need to suck it up and practice,” he said. Despite the close call, the Cougars still made some great plays, with running back Donovan Evans rushing

more than 160 yards during the game and scoring two of their three touchdowns. Quarterback Justin Peterson scored a touchdown in the first quarter as well and threw a 63-yard pass to Evans for the first touchdown of the night. Lakewood’s defense had a good night as well, keeping the Cubs from scoring in the first quarter. “We are the first team in Lakewood history to go to state in back-to-back seasons,” said Teeter. “I’m proud of them for how they’ve played so far, but we still have a lot of work to do.” The team now faces Capital in the first round of the state tournament on Nov. 10 at Goddard Stadium in Everett at 7:30 p.m. For updated schedules visit www.cascadeathletics.com.

Arlington sophomore Cassidy Rude, right, runs in the home stretch of the WIAA State Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 3, finishing in 48th place out of 141 athletes.

PASCO — Four local runners, from both Arlington and Lakewood high schools, took advantage of their opportunity to compete in the WIAA State Cross Country Championships on Saturday, Nov. 3. Arlington’s freshman Emma Janousek and sophomore Cassidy Rude qualified for state at the district tournament on Saturday, Oct. 27, with Janousek finishing in 10th place at 19:07.7 and Rude finishing in 15th place with a time of 19:10.1. Lakewood’s state qualifier, Ariel Jensen finished in 14th place at districts with a time of 19:56.4, while Douglas Davis finished in 13th place with a final time of 16:38.2. “[Janousek and Rude] have been about as consistent as you can get,” said AHS head coach Mike Shierk. “They have a simple race strategy — don’t go out crazy that first mile and as the race progresses, others will slowly fade out. They go out conservative for the first mile and they’ll be in 35th place there, but by the end they are placing in the top 10 or 15. They’ve been so confident that they do it at every race.” Rude stayed consistent at the state meet, finishing in 48th place with a

time of 19:27.6, while Janousek took 70th place with a time of 19:51.3. Lakewood’s state competitors also ranked highly at the championship race. Out of 141 runners, Jensen finished in 54th place with a time of 20:37, while Davis took 29th place with a final time of 16:30.7. “I thought they both did really well,” said Lakewood head coach Jeff Sowards. “Ariel’s race was off, I know she was in shape to finish a minute faster. It’s really the only bad race she’s had all season, so it’s unfortunate that it happened at state. But we are really proud of the accomplishments she’s made, especially coming back from her sophomore year when she was really sick. We are proud of her. Douglas had a fantastic race at state. He set a lifetime personal record and finished in 29th place. We are really pleased with him and this puts him in the top 15 all-time performers at Lakewood.” Although only the top two girls from Arlington’s cross country team made it to state, Shierk was eager to express pride in both his girls and boys teams this season. His top boys team runner, Jameson Wren, missed state qualification by only six spots. “We were very proud of him, we can’t ask for anything more,” said Shierk, who also commended the

efforts of the girls team as a whole. “If you know anything about cross country, you know a big thing is the team top average. The best [girls] team average I’ve seen was in 2009 when the group finished with an average 20.39. This year’s team was 20.08. Any other year we’d be qualifying for state as a team. We are in the toughest bi-district. This is by far the best team I have ever coached. Our whole goal all season was a 20.20 average at districts and then we beat it by 12 seconds? That’s incredible.” What’s perhaps most exciting about the success of Eagle runners this year is that the team is fairly young. “These kids want to be state champions,” said Shierk. “The beautiful thing about this is that if you work hard and challenge yourself you can be in the elite group of runners.” Lakewood’s teams are also set to improve next season. “With our top runners, we only lose one boy and one girl next year,” said Sowards. “The season ended really well for our varsity teams. Kids were running their best times at the end of the season, with personal records at districts. We are really pleased with their times, their extra effort and their attitude, and we are really looking forward to next year.”

AHS presents ‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ critic Mortimer Brewster, a serious young man trying to decide whether he should ask the woman he loves to marry him, which is no simple question considering Brewster’s unusual family. This farcical black comedy finds Mortimer wondering if it’s fair to bring his lovely fiancé into a family that includes one brother who thinks he’s Theodore Roosevelt, a second brother who’s changed his identity with the help of a gangland plastic surgeon and now looks like a horror film actor, and two doting maiden aunts who murder

lonely old men by treating them to a glass of elderberry wine served with arsenic, strychnine and just a pinch of cyanide. “Arsenic and Old Lace” was first staged in 1941, and ran for three and a half years and more than 1,400 performances, before being adapted into a 1944 movie starring Grant and directed by Frank Capra. AHS Drama teacher Scott Moberly selected the play after spending hours upon hours thinking of the best production for his students. “Every year we lose some talented seniors, but gain

younger students who are eager to participate in our shows,” Moberly said. “Every student is unique, and I select our productions based on all of their special qualities. This year, once again, I have a group of students who can handle the quick timing and sometimes deadpan deliveries that this script requires of its actors. It’s a terrific play for building the skills of young actors.” Junior class veteran actresses Grace McWatters and Greyson Baden will play Aunts Abby and Martha Brewster, while fellow junior Hailey Thomas will play

“I am extremely proud of the level of commitment each of these groups showed in helping balancing our 2013 EMS budget, while limiting any negative impact on the service level to our communities,” Stedman said. Arlington Assistant City

ARLINGTON — When the initial projections for the 2013 Arlington city budget were being made, Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman recognized the city had a problem. With property values declining again and the economy still recovering, the city’s EMS system was going to be $380,000 short in 2013. So in early July, Stedman brought all the players that make the EMS system run in Arlington together to solve the problem, including the city’s EMS partners, the Arlington City Council, the full-time firefighters and the volunteer firefighters. After discussions that lasted a number of weeks, a five-prong plan was developed to address the shortfall in order to continue providing essential services to the greater Arlington community and the town of Darrington. First,Classified# the EMS Budget for 2012 and 2013 would immediately6x6 be reviewed, with an eye to reducing all city line items. Second, all of the city’s EMS partners — including Fire Districts 19, 21, 24 and 25 — amended their current service contracts with the city to provide additional funding to the EMS program. Third, all fire administration personnel agreed to a 5 percent salary concession in 2012 and 2013. Fourth, all volunteer firefighters also agreed to a 5 percent concession of the daily stipend they receive for volunteering their time to protect the community and provide aid when

Bloodmobile collects for Sandy victims

Marysville schools get more Impact Aid

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Erin Espedal, a phlebotomist with the Puget Sound Blood Center’s Bloodmobile, is all smiles while drawing a patient’s blood at the Smokey Point Cycle Barn on Oct. 31. for a Halloween blood drive, so why not? I’ve never had to use their services myself, but it’s necessary for us to take care of each other.” Although Anderson’s plans for a blood drive at the end of October were hatched well in advance of Hurricane Sandy, Osborne agreed with him about the importance of donating blood even when emergencies aren’t occurring, since each pint of donated whole blood can save three lives, by being broken up into platelets, plasma and red blood cells. “New York City and New Jersey are down on their

blood supplies, so we’re shipping blood out to assist them,” said Gayle Richards, donor resources representative for the Puget Sound Blood Center. “The way things are going, we may be doing that for a while. We’ll always supply our local blood needs first, but we’ll continue to supplement them for as long as they need, until they can get back to normal.” Richards explained that the Puget Sound Blood Center already serves more than 70 hospitals and clinics in Western Washington with more than 900 pints of blood a day. “Our donations are generally down during the holiday season,” Richards said. “People tend to be busy

or out of town from now through the New Year, but our need remains.” To that end, Richards announced that the semiannual Carbajal family blood drive would be returning to Arlington, this time in the Arlington City Council Chambers on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “In this day and age, especially with this tough economy, helping each other out needs to happen,” Anderson said. Those in Arlington or Marysville who wish to contact Richards to set up a Bloodmobile appointment at their locations may call 425-740-2911 or 888-4754022, or email gayler@psbc. org.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District is one of six school districts in Northwest Washington state that U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen recently announced would receive more federal Impact Aid funding immediately. Because these school districts serve military communities and Native American tribes, they rely on Impact Aid funding to make up for lost property tax revenue. The U.S. Department of Education will now provide immediate payment of 70 percent of the amount due to school districts, instead of the 45 percent that was previously announced. “Impact Aid is a lifeline to school districts that keeps teachers in our classrooms,” Larsen said. “Too often schools are left hanging, not knowing when or if they will get the funding they need to keep operating. This announcement goes a long way in providing schools the certainty they need to operate this year.” Larsen authored the Impact Aid Timely Repayment Act to require the Department of Education to fully reimburse Impact Aid school districts in a timely manner to eliminate uncertainty for those districts. That bill has bipartisan support and was approved by the House Education and Workforce Committee earlier this year. The Marysville School District received $656,757.13 in Impact Aid funds in 2012, and MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland anticipated that this announced move

could represent “something more than $200,000” for Marysville. “A 45 percent reduction in Impact Aid would have been another major strain on our budget,” Nyland said. “Knowing that we will be getting at least 70 percent is great news.” According to Nyland, the Department of Education had been holding funds back in anticipation of sequestration, the automatic reduction in federal spending triggered on Jan 1, 2013, unless Congress agrees to a different spending plan. “Due to budget reductions at the state and local levels over the past several years, the Marysville School District has a very small cash reserve,” Nyland said. “Congressman Larsen has been a good supporter of federal Impact Aid, a significant source of funding for Marysville schools. His efforts are greatly appreciated.” “I am working to pass the Impact Aid Timely Repayment Act before the end of this Congress because it will allow our schools to better serve all of our students,” Larsen said. Public schools are required by law to accept all children from military families, Native American reservations and other federal establishments. Families in federal housing, however, do not pay local property taxes on this land, denying local schools their traditional funding source. This puts a severe financial burden on school districts that educate a significant number of federally-connected children.

SMOKEY POINT — Short notice, a steady drizzle and some technical difficulties stalled out the Puget Sound Blood Center’s blood collection goals for its Bloodmobile’s visit to the Smokey Point Cycle Barn on Wednesday, Oct. 31, but Blood Center staff will continue to collect to help support those impacted by Hurricane Sandy on the East Coast. Adam Osborne, blood collection services supervisor for the Bloodmobile, explained that they began collecting blood at 12:30 p.m., more than two hours late, due to their generator dying. By 2:30 p.m., they’d received seven donors, whose contributions the Bloodmobile staff appreciated, but Osborne acknowledged that this made their previous goal of drawing blood from 36 donors at the Cycle Barn that day unrealistic. “There was just no way with the time we had left,” said Osborne, whose team stayed on site until 4 p.m., as previously planned. The Bloodmobile staff were nonetheless pleased to be working with the Cycle Barn again after a long intermission, since this was their first visit to the Cycle Barn’s current location. “The last time we had the Bloodmobile was years ago, back at our old building,” said Gregg Anderson, general manager of the Smokey Point Cycle Barn. “I got the idea a couple of months ago

SMOKEY POINT — As many Americans prepare for winter holiday activities, Marysville and Arlington volunteers with Operation Christmas Child, the world’s largest Christmas project of its kind, are filling shoe box gifts with toys, school supplies and hygiene items for needy children overseas. This year-round project of the international Christian relief and evangelism organization Samaritan’s Purse, headed by Franklin Graham, is ramping up as local businesses, churches and community groups prepare to collect more than 600 gift-filled shoe boxes during National Collection Week from Monday, Nov. 12, through the following Monday, Nov. 19. Anyone can drop off a packed shoe box at the Marysville and Arlington collection sites, after which a variety of transportation options — including trucks, trains, boats, bikes and even elephants — will be employed to hand-deliver

the shoe box gifts to hurting children in 100 countries around the world. The Amen Christian Bookstore at 318 State Ave. will serve as this year’s collection site in Marysville from Nov. 12 through Saturday, Nov. 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., as well as on Sunday, Nov. 18, from 12:30-3 p.m. and Nov. 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Atonement Free Lutheran Church at 6905 172nd St. NE will serve as this year’s collection site in Arlington from Nov. 12-17, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., as well as on Nov. 18 from 12-2 p.m. and Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. More local collection sites can be found using the online ZIP code locator at www. samaritanspurse.org/occ. In 2012, Operation Christmas Child expects to reach a milestone, by collecting and delivering shoe boxes to more than 100 million children since 1993. During that time, Operation Christmas Child has collect-

Real Estate for Sale Snohomish County

ed more than 94 million shoe box gifts and hand-delivered them to suffering children in more than 130 countries. This year, Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect another 9 million gift-filled shoe boxes. For many children, the shoe box gift will be the first gift they have ever received. Operation Christmas Child uses tracking technology to allow participants to “follow” their boxes to the destination countries, where they will be given to children in need. To register a shoe box gift and find out its destination country, use the “Follow Your Box” donation form found at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ. For more information about Operation Christmas Child, call 253-572-1155 or visit www.samaritanspurse. org/occ. National Collection Week for gift-filled shoe boxes is Nov. 12-19, but shoe box gifts are collected all year at the Samaritan’s Purse headquarters in Boone, N.C.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring has unveiled his preliminary budget for 2013, a balanced spending plan that’s intended to keep Marysville on a healthy financial course, protect and expand core services, pay down debt and build up reserves for the long term. Citizens are encouraged to attend and provide comments at a Marysville City Council budget public hearing set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13, in the Council Chambers on the second floor of City Hall, located at 1049 State Ave. The regular Monday Council meeting is moving to Tuesday in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. According to Nehring, Marysville is on healthier financial footing than many other cities as a result of past actions of the City Council and department directors, who have held the line on spending, and more often in recent years, under-spent

their budgets. “Marysville is turning a corner and we are starting to reach our goal of rebuilding funding again for some of the core government services we put on hold due to the unstable economy, and we are moving forward with strategic investments necessary to lay the groundwork for a prosperous future,” Nehring said. “As prudence dictates, we approach the New Year with caution, conservative in our financial outlook, and knowing that we still face significant economic uncertainty.” The 2013 preliminary budget totals $105.1 million, with a general fund in the proposed 2013 operating budget of $37.3 million, a 2.6 percent increase over 2012 spending levels of $36.3 million. The general fund is used for police and courts, contracted fire and emergency services, parks and recreation, planning and engineering, street repair and other day-to-day general

She was adopted, but it did not work out since she did not seem to care for the resident FEMALE dog. With cats she is fine! She may be older than 1st thought. The adopter noticed her activity level was quite low & would not go outside without a person with her.
