ARLINGTON — The Olympic Theatre once again helped area moviegoers ring in the new year with some affordable family fun, but it remains uncertain whether this year will be the last for the historic movie theater in downtown Arlington.

Norma Pappas, owner and operator of the Olympic Theatre on Olympic Avenue, credited city of Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez with coming up with the idea for free screenings of family-friendly movies at the start of the year. In the past half-dozen years, she’s seen the free screening attendance increase even as her numbers of paying customers throughout the rest of the year have declined. While last year’s showing drew an estimated

150-160 attendees, Pappas figured the Jan. 2 showing of “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted” packed 180 parents and kids into her seats.

“The city and I split the overhead,” Pappas said. “I charge for concessions, but my prices are very cheap. I just hope I sell enough popcorn to cover my end. It’s tremendously expensive to heat a big building like this during the winter. Those lobby doors open wide to the outside. They weren’t thinking about insulation as much in the 1930s when this place was built.”

After 36 years of running the Olympic Theatre, Pappas has been facing the pricey prospect of being forced to convert to digital film projectors, which prompted community members to SEE OLYMPIC, PAGE 2

Community supports Weston students

ARLINGTON — Weston High School students had one less concern to shoulder over the winter break, as several community organizations came together to ensure that they wouldn’t have to worry about hunger during the holidays.

Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District, explained that several Weston students have already benefitted from a “weekend backpack program,” through which they can take home backpacks filled with food over the weekends when they don’t have access to the Federal Lunch Program. Holly Sloan-Buchanan and Deana Dean helped provide twoweek backpacks for 28 Weston students, SEE WESTON, PAGE 2

WESTON FROM PAGE 1 with the support of the Arlington Fire Department and a number of other clubs and businesses.

Dean orchestrated the Arlington Fire Department’s application for a $500 grant to support the backpack program, both over the winter break and throughout the year. Weston High School Principal Amie Verellen-Grubbs credited Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert with connecting the school and its families to the fire department and other local resources.

“It is an incredible demonstration of the giving nature of the Arlington community working together,” VerellenGrubbs said of the donations, which also included food from the Arlington Kiwanis Club and IGA, nine holiday dinners for Weston families donated by the Arlington Lions Club, and Roston Automotive’s contributions to other Weston families. “Roston adopted a displaced family by giving them Christmas presents, and worked with a student who’s homeless and living out of their vehicle to get it running and get them mobile. Roston has also offered to help any students with transportation problems get back on the road.”

A number of Weston students are similarly classified as displaced, and VerellenGrubbs pointed out that this affects what sorts of foods

“It is an incredible demonstration of the giving nature of the Arlington community working together.”

Amie Verellen-Grubbs Principal, Weston High School the school has learned to fill their backpacks with, since foods requiring extensive preparation or ingredients for larger meals are difficult for homeless families to utilize.

While Tolbert joined Arlington Fire Department personnel in delivering donations to Weston on Dec. 14, Thor McIlrath provided a pizza party for the entire school on Dec. 21, the last day of school before winter break, in his words, “Just because.” McIlrath owns a small retirement firm in Smokey Point and uses the Weston facility in the evenings for retirement classes a couple of times each year.

“Binky Patrol Comforting Covers even donated 12 blankets for Weston students who are parents,” said Conley, who echoed Verellen-Grubbs’ assessment that “this is an incredible outreach from our community to these students.”

“The 18- to 21-year-olds in our transition program even put together the packages,” Amie Verellen-Grubbs said. “We are tremendously thankful for this thoughtful generosity.”

OLYMPIC FROM PAGE 1 start meeting in the summer of 2012 to try and find a way of saving the Arlington landmark.

“At the last meeting, it was determined that we should probably form a nonprofit, which is very time-intensive,” Pappas said. “My alternatives are to raise my prices, which I’m not going to do because people come to this theater because it’s affordable for families, or to sell shares of my business to investors to raise the money to buy the new equipment, which I’m really not comfortable with.”

In the meantime, the “Save the Olympic Theatre” group will be kicking off an Indiegogo online fundraiser with a window of 60 days to try and raise $30,000, which Pappas believes could cover “a fairly good portion” of the cost to purchase a digital projector, although if the projectors that are available are not compatible with her existing $30,000 sound system, her total expenses could increase even further.

“These projectors are very specific as to the size of the screen and the distance between the projector and the screen,” Pappas said. “Older theater buildings have more distance between the projector and the screen, so they require more light. The theater in Oak Harbor that did a digital conversion had to spend $80,000 to get the biggest projector they could.”

The price of not converting is already apparent. To show “Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,” Pappas had to block out the front rows of the theater to project it onto the big screen from a DVD player that had been hooked into her theater’s sound system.

“Just in the past year, Disney has had three or four major releases that were totally digital,” Pappas said.

“Kodak is bankrupt. Fuji is the only

The studios say it’s too expensive not to switch, but they get the profits while we bear the costs.”

As Pappas pondered what lies ahead, moviegoers of all ages extolled the virtues of her theater.

Aspen and Sidney Vanderlaan were dropped off at the Olympic Theatre that afternoon by their parents, along with their friend Matthew Kirchberg, and even before the movie had started, the young moviegoers were literally kicking back and relaxing.

“I like that the chairs recline so you don’t have to sit straight up,” Sidney Vanderlaan said. “I’d like to see this place stick around. It makes for a perfect spot in Arlington.”

Jesica Stickles guessed that she’s attended “at least a hundred” different movie screenings at the Olympic Theatre, and the Jan. 2 showing saw

her bringing not only three children of her own, but also two kids from a friend’s family.

“They offer newer movies for a really good price,” Stickles said. “It would be tragic if the Olympic Theatre went away. It’s one of those attractions that’s unique to Arlington.”

Shirley and Scott Marson are likewise frequent patrons of the Olympic Theatre, and they came to the Jan. 2 showing with their own three children and one of their kids’ friends.

“It’s nice that the Olympic Theatre gives back to the community like this,” Shirley Marson said. “So many small-town things seem to be drying up. We don’t even have drive-ins like we used to. I hope the Olympic keeps going, because they show great movies, and if it takes buying buckets of popcorn, I’ll try to support them as much as I possibly can.”

Totem Middle School singers, from left, Laura Davis, Jeneé Barlow and Cheri Loertscher, have been selected to sing as part of the Washington Music Educators Association Junior All-State Choir in February.

Local singers selected for All-State Choir

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — With popular television shows like American Idol and The Voice shining light on vocal talent from people around the country, it’s no surprise that some local performers have set high goals for themselves as well — including some who haven’t even started high school yet.

Three singers from the Totem Middle School choir program have been selected to perform as part of the Washington Music Educators Association Junior All-State Choir, after sending in audition tapes.

Cheri Loertscher is an eighth-grade student who one day hopes to audition for the X Factor, a talent competition show on Fox. “That would be so awesome,” said Loertscher,

who is also trying out for a band.

Right now, however, she is focusing on her upcoming performance as part of the mixed choir at the WMEA Junior All-State Choir gala in Vancouver, Wash., on Feb. 16, while sixth-graders Jeneé Barlow and Laura Davis are gearing up to perform as part of the youth choir.

Davis described how she and her classmates learned they’d been chosen for honor choir.

“It was like any other day,” she said. “But then at the end of class, Mr. [James] Orr made a big announcement and I nearly fell out of my chair.”

Barlow was also excited to be chosen.

“I thought I was ready for honor choir last year, but I got too nervous,” she said. “This year I didn’t get

nervous at all. I’ve never had voice lessons, so when I sang at the talent show last year everyone said I should take my singing further.”

All of the girls discovered passion for singing early in their lives.

“I love how you can arrange the notes in a specific order to make a wonderful, beautiful sound,” said Loertscher, who first performed on stage in a thirdgrade talent show where she sang the Star Spangled Banner. Davis began singing in church as a first-grader and Barlow sang during family gatherings.

“When I was up there singing at the talent show last year I was a little nervous,” said Barlow. “When I saw my family I felt so

EVERETT — WorkSource Snohomish County is hosting a Community Resource Fair on Friday, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at WorkSource Everett, located at 3201 Smith Ave. in Everett.

“This is a time of financial and emotional stress for many people in Snohomish County,” said Amy Persell, director of service delivery at Workforce Development Council Snohomish County, the agency that oversees WorkSource Snohomish County. “We hope to help alleviate some of that stress.

This fair will bring all the resources people may need into one room, effectively

saving people hours of time they would have spent navigating from office to office.”

The resource fair will provide information and referrals for job searching, veterans’ services, housing, childcare, food assistance, senior programs, healthcare, utility assistance, financial survival and services for people with disabilities. The Department of Social and Human Services will also be on site, with their Mobile Community Services Office, able to help people apply for Basic Food, cash, medical benefits and other services.

This event is free and open to the public.

much better. Afterward I started to cry because I was happy to have that chance to express myself.”

Davis described a similar experience at the fifthgrade talent show.

“In fifth grade I thought, I’m going to do this Owl City song ‘Fireflies.’ So I’m getting up in front of all these people, and they all have these sparkly outfits on and I was just singing my heart out. And I loved it.”

The students will rehearse their songs at home prior to the event and again under the direction of WMEA music educators after arriving in Vancouver. The final concert performance will take place in the afternoon on Feb. 16.

certainly more to do, but I could not be more pleased with the dedication and hard work of our staff and students. Together we have accomplished much and look forward to continued success.

Much as I desire to be a part of the next chapter in Marysville’s history, we have come to a natural transition point. Many of the plans outlined above are well launched. New work lies ahead — work that will require years to plan and implement: new national standards and new national exams; new elections for technology, the replacement of Cascade Elementary and our four year operations levy; and new leadership in many district positions.

These efforts will require renewed vigor, passion and enthusiasm from school leadership, from school staff and from our community.

While part of me is eager to participate in the continued growth and success

in Marysville, another part of me says that it is time to seek more balance in my life. For nearly 45 years, my wife Kathy has honored my 24/7 passion to make a difference in student learning.

Now it is time to make a bit more time for family and for life. I do so, knowing that our great staff together with our students and our community partners will write the next successful chapter in Marysville’s story.

I plan to retire at the end of this school year. I would once again ask God for thousands of pray-ERs to join in the support of the selection of the new superintendent. It is time to open a new chapter, a new book, in Marysville’s story. Much good work lies ahead.

Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber will offer CyberTour tional Visitor Information Center in Smokey Point to focus entirely on Arlington and Smokey Point businesses and attractions.

“We believe that many visitors are up to date with technology,” said Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber.

“Everyone has a cell phone these days, and this CyberTour tracks all usage statistics, and allows us to flex the tour to what people want.

We will also retain the traditional model with the Visitor Information Center, with paper brochures and maps, so we can charm visitors with Arlington’s historic feel and friendly faces while also being thoroughly modern and observant of traditions.”

“The main strategy behind the CyberTour is grabbing people that are already here in Arlington for one reason, and letting them know 11 other reasons why they should stay longer or come back soon,” said Jesica Stickles, chair of the Chamber’s Tourism Committee.

The Chamber has applied for several grants from the city of Arlington and Snohomish County to defray startup operational costs.

They hope to have the CyberTour up and running by this summer, and look forward to attracting new tourists to Arlington.

“We enjoy having big businesses such as Walmart and Cabela’s, but 95 percent of our businesses have five employees or less,” Rogers said. “The MVP will provide an umbrella for them through Washington state’s chambers of commerce.”

The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce is the first in the state to offer the MVP, which includes not only medical, dental and group life coverage, but also disability insurance, senior benefits, and business, auto and home policies, in addition to critical illness and 24-hour accident insurance.

According to Rogers, these same benefits will eventually be extended to “smaller neighboring chambers” whose member-

“We enjoy having big businesses such as Walmart and Cabela’s, but 95 percent of our businesses have five employees or less.”

Caldie Rogers President and CEO, Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce ship numbers are too small to qualify for the program. Bill and Jason Yeager, the co-owners of the Lynnwood-based Association Benefits Corporation, have joined Rogers in meeting with representatives of the city and school district of Marysville, as well as other members of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, to explain the benefits program, which also offers discounts on dining, lodging, travel and home repair, in addition to coverage for Chamber members, their businesses and employees, and their families.

“The one condition is that you cannot access any of those benefits without being a Chamber member,” said Bill Yeager, the CEO of the Association Benefits Corporation. “If you drop your membership, you don’t get them.”

“It’s a broad spectrum of benefits,” Rogers said. “Some of them

will be things that members really want, while others will be things that they don’t need, depending upon the members.”

“You can just sign up for the ones you really need,” Yeager said.

The MVP affords Chambers access to their choice of services, such as identity protection, roadside service and ADT home security monitoring systems, as well as college scholarships and even pet insurance.

Yeager explained that, the more members that chambers such as the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce have, the more those chambers can provide such services to their members in turn.

Everett Elks Lodge representatives Ann Hall, left, and Linda Averill are surrounded by Pinewood Elementary English Language Learners who now have more books for their ELL Pen Pal Program.

Everett Elks help out ELL Pen Pal Program MARYSVILLE — Pinewood Elementary’s English Language Learners recently received $1,000 worth of books, from the Everett Elks Lodge, to write about with their adult pen pals.

The Marysville School District started the ELL Pen Pal Program four years ago, with students from seven participating schools corresponding through handwritten letters with retired teachers and Friends of the Marysville Library, but the program expanded significantly in the following years.

Pinewood Elementary ELL teacher Holly Scriven reported that the Elks dropped off an estimated 150 books for the ELL Pen Pal Program, dwarfing the roughly 25 books that had already been set aside for the program.

“And those 25 books were only six different books, with a few copies of each,” said Scriven, who elaborated that the freshly bolstered collection of books would serve 24 ELL students, including those in second through fifth grade.

“One of the problems was that there were not enough books of one kind for all of my students and their adult pen pals to read, so last year, Staci Tuck, who started the ELL Pen Pal Program, bought extras of a few of the books for me.

I still needed a minimum of 10 copies each, which is what the Elks did for me with their gift this school year.”

The fall of 2012 saw the school district’s ELL Pen Pal Program cancelled due to budget cuts, time constraints and other academic obligations, but Pinewood Elementary Principal Breeze Williams agreed with Scriven that the program could be woven into their school’s curriculum and continued at Pinewood independently of the district as a whole.

“We are so incredibly appreciative of this gift, and thankful that there are people like the Elks who are so willing to support our students,” Scriven said.

“This gift, and this program, helps them to grow in their reading, writing and language skills, but what’s most precious is that it provides an opportunity for them to form a bond with our community, through their interaction with this wonderful group of adult pen pal volunteers.”

Linda Averill of the Everett Elks Lodge has been an adult pen pal volunteer with the program since its inception, and she touted the Elks’ involvement with the Marysville School District’s ELL Pen Pal Program for years.

“We were pleased to purchase books with the help of a national Elks grant,” Averill said. “In the past, we’ve also sponsored the entertainment and yearend celebration for the Marysville ELL students and their adult pen pals.”

Averill deemed the ELL Pen Pal Program as fitting the Elks’ focus on youth activities, and summed up the Elks’ five promises to youth as providing them

with safe places, offering them support from caring adults, promoting healthy living, emphasizing the importance of education and encouraging community service.

“By providing these books, Holly could continue the pen pal program at Pinewood, the children could have some new reading material and the Elks participating as pen pals met several of the grant objectives,” Averill said. “It was a win for all of us, but especially for the children.”

Tulalip Bay Restaurant awarded AAA Four Diamond distinction TULALIP — Tulalip Bay Restaurant at the Tulalip Resort Casino has been honored with the prestigious Four Diamond Restaurant Award from AAA. For the 2012 Diamond Ratings, 31,000 establishments qualified, but only 3.8 percent of those hotels and restaurants earned this distinction. Dining venues receive these rating levels because they’re judged as offering an extensive array of amenities and a high degree

of hospitality, service and attention to detail.

When reviewing each property, the AAA team looks for all the accoutrements of a fine-dining venue. Reviewers described Tulalip Bay as offering an environment of rich wood paneling, plush seating, a Chihuly chandelier, an award-winning wine list, an exhibition kitchen and table-side service. They also evaluated the menu creativity and found an array of fresh seafood, local produce and prime meat selections.

As a Four Diamond restaurant, Tulalip Bay’s service staff was deemed dedicated and highly attentive in catering to dining guests’ every need. Sommelier Tommy Thompson was noted as always available to assist with wine selections and share his vast enological knowledge.

“We are honored to receive this award, and to share it with the community and our guests,” said Lisa Severn, food and beverage director for the Tulalip Resort Casino. “The Resort is committed to offering an exemplary balance of unparalleled service, luxury and value representative of the AAA Four Diamond rating.”

ROTC units face off in drill competition

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Cadets from the Arlington High School Air Force and Marysville-Pilchuck High School Navy Junior ROTC units follow orders among a host of other high school JROTC units during the Dec. 15 drill competition at AHS. challenging it is for himself and his fellow cadets to drag themselves out of bed at 3 a.m. for an all-day drill competition, but he deemed the life lessons they’ve gained through such experiences to be well worth the headaches.

“Not everyone is a morning person, but you work through it,” Lacson said. “You have to focus, pay attention and persevere, and make sure your cadets do the same. No matter how frustrating things can get, it all pays off with the help of your team. They’ve gotten me back on track to see my goals.”

Retired Navy Chief Petty Officer Kathy Wilde joined the MarysvillePilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC program this school year after 22 years in the fleet, but since she enlisted straight out of high

school, when she was part of the JROTC unit there, this feels like coming full circle for her.

“These kids commit to this schedule, at the same time that they’re juggling AP and Honors classes,” said Wilde, who cited the cadets’ more than 1,200 hours of community service this school year, including a holiday food drive that yielded 2,048 pounds of donated food. “In their drills, they focus on regulations and keep it basic. They’re not here to be fancy.

They’re here to do it right, and that mentality extends to other areas of service and citizenship.”

Retired Air Force Maj. Mike Blue was gratified that the event’s concessions made so much money, since those funds will help his cadets in the Arlington High School Air Force Junior ROTC

program afford to travel to drill competitions at other schools.

“This time hosting the event went way better than last time,” Blue said. “Maybe next time, we should have the band accompany us. They offered to take part this time around, but it was too late to make it work.”

Blue thanked the community for its support and commended his cadets for their teamwork and precision, but suggested that they might need to “jazz up their exhibition a bit, since we’ve been doing the same stuff for a few years now.”

AHS AFJROTC Cadet Airman 1st Class Donald Janda and Cadet 1st Lt. Ariel Taylor both joined as freshman, although that still adds up to two very different years of experience in the unit, since

Janda is a sophomore now while Taylor is a senior. Both appreciate their fellow cadets, even if Taylor’s position of leadership poses some challenges that Janda doesn’t have to cope with.

“Camaraderie is probably the most common answer that people will give for why they love it, but it’s true,” Taylor said. “It can be difficult to deal with cadets who don’t want to listen to orders, but you’ve got to make them understand that they’ve got to put the time in to do things right. There’s no ‘I can’t.’”

“I definitely like the teamwork,” said Janda, who scored Arlington its first place in the armed drill down. “With something like that, you just make sure you know what you need to do and try not to mess up. You can’t worry about the judges.”

MARYSVILLE — Cadets from the Arlington High School Air Force and Marysville-Pilchuck High School Navy Junior ROTC units were singled out for distinction in several categories, as they competed among a host of other high school JROTC units in armed and unarmed drills at Arlington High School on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012.

Marysville-Pilchuck High School ranked sixth for both Color Guard Teams 1 and 2, but scored first among unarmed drill teams. While M-PHS again scored first among unarmed drill team commanders, AHS scored fourth in the same category, and while Arlington ranked sixth among armed drill teams, Marysville ranked sixth among armed drill team commanders.

Marysville took second in both the armed duo team and unarmed drill down categories, while Arlington took fifth in the unarmed drill down, but first in the armed drill down. M-P’s physical strength team placed third, while its cadets ranked fourth for physical fitness scores among men, and both fourth and fifth for physical fitness scores among women.

M-PHS NJROTC Cadet Ens. Terence Lacson has followed in the footsteps of not only his older sister, who was also in his unit’s unarmed drill team, but their father, a 21-year Navy veteran.

Looking back on four years of JROTC, he acknowledged how

ARLINGTON — The newly formed Arlington Girls Amateur Athletic Union Basketball program recently received $1,000 from the Rotary Club of Arlington to help fund the purchase of the one thing no basketball player can do without.

“We got 40 practice balls and four nicer quality game balls out of the deal from Action Sports,” said Dave Kraski, one of the two coaches of the fifth-grade Arlington Girls AAU team. “With 34 girls between our four teams of fifth- through eighthgraders, that helps out a lot.”

Kraski explained that, although Arlington Boys AAU teams have been around for years, the 2012-13 Arlington Girls AAU Basketball represents a first for the community.

The program’s tryouts in late October of 2012 paved the way for practices from November through its first games in December, in the Wesco league. With the estimated cost ranging between $250 to $300 for each young athlete in the Arlington School District, Kraski noted that the financial savings afforded by the Rotary’s donation were needed and appre-

Lakewood Cougars fall to Knights, 65-46

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo

Lakewood junior Eljay Johnson prepares to shoot during the Jan. 2 home game against King’s High School.

LAKEWOOD — The Cougar boys basketball team faced King’s High School on Wednesday, Jan. 2, and lost the game to the Knights, 65-46.

Judging only by the first half, the game could have gone either way, as both teams held a lead at least once in the first two quarters. The Cougars scored consistently, finishing the first quarter only six points behind the Knights and managing to outscore King’s in the second quarter, going into half-time with a score of 26-23.

The Knights’ defense was strong throughout the game, however, and when the teams returned from the locker rooms, the Cougars had trouble getting past the strength of their defense and only scored six points in the third quarter. A number of bad passes resulted in turnovers, also hurting the Cougars’ chances of maintaining the scoring pace of the Knights, who scored triple the points of the Cougars in the third quarter. Lakewood kept pace in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to bring them back the lead and the game ended in a 65-46 loss for the Cougars.

Top scorers include sophomore Ryan Alford who scored 15 points including three 3-pointers, senior Blaine Kelly who scored 11 points and one 3-pointer, and senior Kendal Kippen who scored eight points and one 3-pointer.

Sophomore Hunter Fritz scored six points and senior Justin Peterson scored two points, as did sophomore Paul

Coleman and junior Eljay Johnson.

“We’re kind of in the heart of schedule right now. We’ve got Sultan on Friday, Cedarcrest and then Archbishop Murphy, which are kind of the tough teams in our league,” said Lakewood head coach Matt Hart. “We had a really good tournament in Yakima a few days ago and played well, and I think tonight we weren’t quite prepared for how physical King’s is and how talented they are.”

Going into their next few games, the Cougars are planning on getting focused to win.

“We just need to get back to the basics and fundamentals. We have a lot of little things to work on and I think the things we are missing in our program right now are just basic little things, and once we can clean that up, the rest of the pieces will fall into place,” said Hart. “It’s an important part of the season right now.”

Hart said that despite the loss, several players still had a good game.

“Blaine Kelly played well and Hunter Fritz played pretty well for us also,” he said. “Towards the end of the game, Ryan Alford really kind of helped lead that charge back and made a couple threes and that helped us try to get back in it at the end. Ultimately their defense really hurt us. We’ve got to get back to the drawing board and kind of regroup.”

Lakewood is set to face Archbishop Murphy at home on Friday, Jan. 11, at 7 p.m.

Lady Eagles remain undefeated on the court

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Lady Eagles proved their dominance during a non-league game against Mariner High School on Wednesday, Jan. 2, when they topped the Marauders 60-35 at home.

The Eagles took an early lead with strong passes, quick rebounds and tough defense, almost tripling the scoring of the Marauders in the first half and going into the locker room with a 30-11 lead.

The Marauders took up a stronger offense in the third quarter with both teams managing to score 18 points each, but it wasn’t enough to rally a comeback and the fourth quarter saw only six points for Mariner.

Victory for the Eagles is no surprise as the Arlington girls basketball team is ranked No. 5 in the state, and after the game against Mariner they maintained an undefeated record, while Mariner still has not won a game so far this season.

Senior Lindsay Brown scored 16 points in the game, while senior Taylor Graham scored 11 including

one 3-pointer. Freshman Jayla Russ scored eight points, senior Winter Brown scored six points, senior Ronnie Ladines scored five points, senior Marissa Swegle scored four points, as did sophomore Jessica Ludwig and freshman Emma Janousek, and Sarafina Balderas scored two points.

Brown is a top scorer in the league with a 13.3 points average per game.

Krista Showalter is another top scorer with 11 points average per game.

The team faced Kamiak High School on Friday, Jan. 4, and Cascade High School on Monday, Jan. 7, although the results of those two games were not available as of press time.

The Lady Eagles head now for an away game against EdmondsWoodway High School on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at 7:15 p.m. The Warriors have a 4-2 league record and a 7-4 record overall, and recently defeated the Snohomish Panthers 51-38 in an away game on Wednesday, Jan. 2. The Panthers are currently second in the Wesco North 4A division, behind Arlington.

The Eagles’ record is now 5-10 in league and 10-0 overall.

AHS wrestlers give Action Sports a helping hand in moving

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Action Sports in downtown Arlington got an early Christmas present when half a dozen students and adults involved in the Arlington High School wrestling program helped the store move to its new location, one block south on Olympic Avenue, in a single day.

Rich Senff, manager and owner of Action Sports, touted his new location’s increased space, from 2,000-squarefeet at their former address at 430 N. Olympic Ave. to nearly 5,000-squarefeet at their new address at 340 N. Olympic Ave. “All that changed in the address were two numbers, so we still have people who think we typed it wrong,” Senff laughed. “We’ve more than doubled our space, though.”

Senff was effusive in praising the more than half a dozen young kids and adults, not all of them current or former AHS wrestlers, who showed up early on the morning of Nov. 24 to help him out, after they’d heard of his need for extra hands from a friend of his who was a former coach.

“They called me up at 8 a.m. and said, ‘We’re ready to move,’” Senff said. “I’d actually planned to start the move that afternoon, but I asked

The move got underway at 9 a.m. and had finished transporting the store’s contents from one location to the other by 5 p.m., but it still took

until 7 p.m. for the store to get fully organized in its new location.

“I think they were more excited than I was,” Senff laughed. “Seriously, though, I want to thank the community for stepping up in a really great way to help a small-town local guy like me.”

Tamara Fitzpatrick Marysville Sea Mar effort, that serves nearly 2,000 low-income families and more than 5,000 children.

At last year’s Sea Marsponsored parties, more than 10,000 toys were distributed, mostly from funds raised through the organization’s annual golf tournament and other fundraising activities. The children invited to the annual event were from families served

by Sea Mar who met the federal low-income eligibility guidelines. The Snohomish County party included a holiday dinner for families, three gifts for each child 12 years and younger, children’s crafts, face-painting, entertainment, balloons, photos

with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a special visit from the “Reptile Man.” “The Christmas party is part of Sea Mar’s commitment to help families with limited resources enjoy the holidays just a little bit more — sometimes a lot more,” said Tamara Fitzpatrick, nurse manager at Sea Mar’s Marysville Medical Clinic. “It’s not unusual each year to hear from parents that the Sea Mar party is ‘Christmas for our kids.’”

Fitzpatrick added that the annual event is made possible each year through the generous donations of local businesses and the hard work of Sea Mar staff and volunteers.

MARYSVILLE — On Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012, an estimated 250 needy children in Snohomish County received bags of age-appropriate gifts and toys, and more than a hundred families enjoyed holiday meals at the Sea Mar Community Health Center’s Snohomish County Christmas Party at Cedarcrest Middle School in Marysville.

For nearly 25 years, Sea Mar has hosted Christmas parties in several Western Washington counties where the organization’s medical, dental, behavioral health, social and educational services are offered.

In total, more than 3,000 children were served in 2012 at Christmas parties throughout seven counties served by Sea Mar, including Snohomish, King, Clark, Whatcom and Grays Harbor in Western Washington, and Yakima and Franklin in Eastern Washington. Sea Mar in Skagit County also partners in a county-wide

Safe Harbor now offers Saturday appointments “Our new Saturday clinic is designed to meet the medical needs of patients who could not be seen at one of our Friday night clinics.”

Julie Vess Safe Harbor Free Clinic we anticipate that expansion of medical services at the Saturday clinic is likely inevitable. In the meantime, we will have limited medical services available on Saturdays.”

The Saturday clinic operates from 9 a.m. to noon, and will offer acute medical care for patients. Lab services will also be provided, as will resources for low-cost and free medical services, patient care services and spiritual care. Safe Harbor is also open to the public on Friday nights from 6-9 p.m. at the Skagit Regional Clinic in Stanwood, serving under-insured and uninsured patients. Safe Harbor

has served approximately 4,000 patients in the three and a half years it has been open, from as far away as Seattle, Gig Harbor and Bellingham. In addition to urgent care, Safe Harbor offers specialty clinics that include chronic care, women’s health and podiatry.

Skagit Regional Clinics have played a major role in making the new Saturday clinic possible, by donating space and furniture for Safe Harbor. This agreement came as part of a new twoyear lease, signed recently between Skagit Regional Clinics and Safe Harbor, that took effect on Dec. 1, 2012.

STANWOOD — Safe Harbor Free Clinic, a stateof-the-art walk-in clinic providing professional health care and referral services to uninsured and under-insured patients, has been open on Saturday mornings twice a month since December of 2012, and is accepting patients by appointment only, who are not seen at its weekly Friday night clinics. As many as 6-8 patients are treated at each Saturday clinic, which is conducted at the Skagit Regional Clinic in Stanwood.

“Our new Saturday clinic is designed to meet the medical needs of patients who could not be seen at one of our Friday night clinics,” said Julie Vess, executive director at Safe Harbor Free Clinic. “Patients are seen by appointment only, and while we cannot take new patients at this time on Saturday mornings,

PUD offers tips on how to stay County urges residents to safe during winter storms prepare for emergencies potential carbon monoxide poisoning: Never use a stove or grill indoors to heat your home. Using a gas stove or charcoal grill inside your home for heating can have deadly results. They emit carbon monoxide — a colorless, odorless gas — that can kill a person in just minutes if inhaled at high levels, such as inside a house with its windows shut.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself by dressing warmly. Dress in layers. Several lightweight, loose layers of clothes will keep you warmer than one heavy layer. Gloves, a hat and a scarf also will help.

Keep an eye on your friends and neighbors who might be vulnerable to the cold weather.

Customers with additional questions can call PUD Customer Service at 425783-1000 or visit the utility’s website at www.snopud.com.

Winter preparedness tips also are available online at www.takewinterbystorm.org.

EVERETT — What do earthquakes, windstorms, heavy rain and flooding have in common? All have impacts that can be alleviated when residents become better prepared for disaster situations.

Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management, the Everett Office of Emergency Management and the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency are joining together to encourage residents to make their households more prepared.

“Because we cannot control when a disaster event may occur in our region, taking steps toward preparedness is important for our families comfort and safety when something happens,” Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon said. “Preparedness can reduce panic and help us return to normal faster.”

Preparedness can include many things — disaster supplies, household communication plans, alternative route planning and home evacuation plans — and doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective. Disaster supply kits should include basic first-aid items such as bandages, cleaning and disinfecting products, overthe-counter fever reducers and pain relievers.

Kits also should include non-perishable, canned or dehydrated foods, as well as water. Each person needs one gallon of water per day.

It’s also important to think about ways to heat and purify water for consumption or sanitation. Families should think through the unique daily requirements of each household member, including pets, infants and small children.

Residents should also keep basic supplies in

their cars or commuter bags. These supplies might change based on the weather, but should always include a flashlight, food, water and protection from the elements, such as a rain poncho or space-blanket.

There are a number of sites that can help families prepare for disasters, such as the Snohomish County Emergency Management webpage at www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/ Departments/Emergency_ Management, which features tips for families, schools and businesses to prepare for any event.

For more information by phone, call the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management at 425-388-5071, the Everett Office of Emergency Management at 425-2577965, or the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency at 425-776-3722.

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony J. Kubin, son of Judith Johnson of Marysville, Wash. and Joseph M. Kubin, of Everett, Wash., along with nearly 12,000 past and current crewmembers, family and friends, attended the inactivation of aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65).

Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, recently completed its 25th and final deployment and returned to its homeport of Naval Station Norfolk for a scheduled inactivation, held prior to the ship’s terminal offload program and subsequent decommissioning.

The inactivation ceremony was the last official public event for the ship, and served as a celebration of life for the ship and the Sailors who served aboard.

360-435-5553

More than 100,000 Sailors and Marines have served aboard Enterprise during its lifetime, which has included every major conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis. It has been home ported in both Alameda, Calif., and Norfolk, Va., and has conducted operations in every region of the world.

An open fire in the fireplace is not an efficient way to heat your home.

Whenever you’re not burning wood, close the damper in your fireplace or wood stove to prevent warm house air from escaping up the chimney.

Make sure water pipes are protected from the cold so they don’t freeze and burst.

Move furniture, draperies or other items that may block the flow of heated air from the furnace vents, the baseboard or in-wall heaters.

Keep portable heaters away from anything flammable, such as curtains, furniture or bedclothes. Never leave a heater unattended and make sure your heater has a mechanism that will turn it off if it is knocked over. If you use a portable heater that burns liquid fuel, such as kerosene, also make sure the room is well ventilated.

A critical reminder about

724821

EVERETT — Snohomish County PUD offers the following advice to save energy, stay safe and be comfortable in your home during winter storms: You’ll use less energy and will still keep your home warm if you set your thermostat no higher than 68 degrees during the day and no lower than 55 degrees at night. Elderly customers or those with small babies may want to keep their homes warmer.

Concentrate your living to a few warm rooms. If you have rooms that are not used regularly, shut the furnace vent off or turn off the baseboard heaters, and close the door. With some forced-air furnace systems, there may be a loss of efficiency or a build-up of heat in the furnace if more than one-fourth of the vents are shut off.

Keep your window drapes closed as much as possible.

Windows are a major source of heat loss.

How 85% of Patients Eliminated Numbness, Tingling or Sharp Pains If you’re suffering from nerve problems in the arms and legs, you must read about a clinical study that showed...

N

umbness, tingling, and pain is an extremely annoying problem.

It may come and go...interrupts your sleep... and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

More Pills Are Not The Solution A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method.

While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants -- all of which have serious side effects.

The Likely Cause Of Your Problem My name is Dr. Scott Peseau, owner of Arlington Spine Center. Our practice has been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 25 years.

Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the

Here’s What Our Patients Say……

“I had endured severe foot pain from neuropathy for several years. It seriously interfered with my sleep, resulting in retirement several years before I had intended to end my career. I sought help from several medical professionals who told me that there was nothing that could be done to alleviate the pain other than to take strong medicines. My wife found an ad for Dr. Peseau and I went in, was evaluated, and Dr. Peseau explained the cause of my foot pain and recommended a treatment plan.

After my 4th treatment, my foot pain started to go away! After a month, I experienced no more neuropathic foot pain! I am now sleeping well every night and am living an active life again. The Arlington Spine Center has unique equipment and the doctors have specialized training to help neuropathy patients. The treatment is painless and the doctors are excellent communicators. I am so blessed to have found them! ~ Ken Taylor

type of evaluation including x-rays is $230, so you’re saving a considerable amoun by taking me up on this offer. Call 360-474-9900.

More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs.

“Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative.

Symptoms dissipated.” ~ JMPT 1994

We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.

What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy.

Read the full facts on this page.

It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution.

Dr. Scott Peseau, D.C.

For 60 days only, $19 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $230 for!

P.S. Remember, you only have until 60 days out to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery?

neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves.

By using gentle techniques, I’m able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. ~ Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant Due to Federal law some exclusions may apply.

Could This Be Your Solution?

What does this offer include? Everything.

Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination… ($75 value).

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… ($80 value).

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings ($75 value) so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• I’ll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.

Until 60 days out you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $19. The normal price for this

Our office is located at 215 E. 3rd St , in Arlington.

When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special offer.

Sincerely,

That’s no way to live, not when there could be an easy solution to your problem.

P.P.S. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your arms or legs hurt – and the pain just won’t go away!
