Singing Cowboy returns to Arlington

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — After nearly two years as the “Singing Cowboy” of Hawaii, country musician Jesse Taylor has come home to Arlington, albeit with a side-trip to Nashville.

The 24-year-old Taylor began working as a wrangler at the Koele Stables on the island of Lanai, which is part of Hawaii, in August of 2010, just one month after he’d been playing his guitar in a little bar just east of Kalispell, Mont., where he first caught the ear of the wife of the manager of the Koele Stables.

When the Koele Stables manager himself called Taylor on the phone a few weeks later to offer him a chance to ride horses and play music in Hawaii, it represented the culmina-

tion of a year and a half of hard work and lean living on his part, starting after he was laid off from his job in January of 2009. He recorded a CD of 10 songs that he’d written in his mother’s kitchen, and then traveled back and forth across the continental United States from May through August of that year to promote his music.

“In Hawaii, I was singing every day,” Taylor said. “I practiced for hours between rides. I grew as a singer and songwriter, but I got bored by the same old trails.”

Before Taylor came home to perform in downtown Arlington venues, he spent the month of November at Marina McBride’s Blackbird Studio in Nashville, recording his second album, which includes nine songs that he SEE COWBOY, PAGE 2

“This has been hard work, but fun,” Bullock said.

Morse expressed her appreciation to outgoing Chamber President Logan, Past President Jesica Stickles and Board member John Cronin, as well as outgoing DABA Vice President Smith and Board members Senff and Tyler Moore.

“On behalf of the Arlington-Smokey Point business communities, please accept our gratitude for your service and commitment that benefits our entire community,” Morse said.

Old Bags name raffle winner ARLINGTON — The Old Bags of Arlington’s annual meat raffle helped one Arlington woman stock up her fridge over the holidays.

Bonnie Siegert won a $150 gift card to Silvana Meats, after buying a number of tickets in the hopes of winning. Club member Alice Parker sold her the winning ticket.

The Old Bags of Arlington is a nonprofit philanthropic club that focuses on local children and families, and it’s looking for new members.

Club member Sharon Singer touted the club’s local value, noting that the proceeds of its fundraisers go back into the community.

Carrie Byrum, Scott Derr, Sid Logan, Nola Smith, Jason Busch, Michelle Foster, Fritz Fittinger and Jean Simpson.

In addition to Bullock as president, DABA’s Executive Board includes Vice President Tami Sauter and Whitis as secretary/ treasurer.

“It’s been quite a challenge,” said Bullock, who estimated that she’s been involved with the downtown Arlington merchants for 12 years, as she addressed the Chamber and DABA members during the Jan. 8 swearing-in ceremony. “When the existing DABA Board resigned in September, I stepped in along with Nola [Smith], Debbie [Whitis] and Rich Senff [of Action Sports on Olympic Avenue].

Our December election of

new Board members got us moving forward again, and we’re on track for a good new year.”

Bullock reported that the Arlington Hometown Holidays proved to be a considerable success “in spite of the weather,” with this year’s wagon riders numbering more than 318 over the course of the three days of wagon rides in December.

“There’s a family from Bellevue that’s made our Hometown Holidays their family tradition,” Bullock said. “Our events are bringing in people from all over to Arlington.”

Bullock reported that this year promises the return of such familiar favorites as the May Hunt, the Street Fair, the “Show N Shine” Car Show and the October Hunt.

“Our biggest challenge is getting all our businesses back on board,” Bullock

He expects that “Out Here in the Country,” the first single from his new album, will hit local radio stations this month, before its official release on March 26, which he plans to celebrate with a party at the Skookum Brewery on March 23.

“Hawaii was great, but believe it or not, I actually missed the weather out here,” said Taylor, who also aims to do a radio tour in February and to follow the rodeo circuit starting in April. “I couldn’t wait to get back home and see the faces of my friends and family here. I missed the rain, and I missed the small-town vibe of this place. I love this town.”

wrote and two more written by his father.

“Kenny Chesney and J. Michael Montgomery were there at the same time,” Taylor said. “Everyone there was professional and had no ego. Nashville is just a really big family. Being around people who are so much better pushes you to do better.”

Just as Taylor credits his father with teaching him how to play the guitar at rodeos, so too does he pay tribute to his mother with the name of his label, “Mama’s Kitchen Records,” a nod to how he recorded his first album in her kitchen.

Taylor’s role models in country music include Waylon Jennings, George Strait and Chris LeDoux, and he believes his authenticity helps set his own music apart from his peers.

“I want people to know that I’m an actual cowboy,” Taylor said. “What’s in my songs isn’t just made up.

It’s based on my lived experiences. I want my concerts to feel like rodeos.

Hopefully, people swing by, have a good time and dance with some girls.”

After performing at the Mirkwood and Shire Cafe and the White Horse Tavern in downtown Arlington, Taylor’s next performance is set for 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Skookum Brewery, located at 17925 59th Ave. NE in Arlington.

Army Reserve unit changes command in Marysville

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Armed Forces Reserve Center hosted a historic change of command ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 5.

“Today marks two milestones,” said Maj. Gen. William Frink Jr., commanding general of the 79th Sustainment Support Command. “In addition to being the first change of command for the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, it is also the first major event to be held at this brand new state-ofthe-art facility. We moved the ESC headquarters from Fort Lawton when they were downrange, officially closing Fort Lawton in February.

This is the first major public community ceremony since the 364th returned from deployment, so thank you for allowing me to visit your new home and take part in your first change of command since returning from your successful deployment.”

Brig. Gen. Jonathan G. Ives, who had commanded the unit since its formation in 2009, left to become the deputy commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit in New Orleans. Brig. Gen.

I. Neal Black, the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command’s new commanding general, comes to the Puget Sound after serving as deputy commander for mobilization at the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. “While commanding the 364th, Gen. Ives successfully deployed the unit to Kuwait to handle the historic drawdown of forces from Iraq,” Frink said. “Even though the 364th was mobilized two years ahead of schedule, Jonathan and his amazing group of soldiers handled that mission — the largest logistical operation since World War II — with skill and professionalism, ensuring the president’s directive was enacted. As Gen. Ives himself said, you got ‘em home for the holidays.”

Frink noted that, under Ives’ command, 68,000 troops and 11,000 truckloads of equipment came safely out of Iraq, which means the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command successfully executed the single largest logistical movement in the history of the U.S. Army.

“The 364th literally closed the door on the Iraq theater after seven years of war,”

Frink said. “This deployment illustrates just how true it is that the Army doesn’t roll without the Army Reserve.”

After congratulating Ives on the birth of his daughter on Nov. 21, the day before Thanksgiving — “If that’s not an excellent reason to give thanks, I don’t know what is” — Frink moved on to praise Black as a more-than-worthy successor.

“Neal is the type of leader who empowers his soldiers,” Frink said. “He gives them the opportunity to excel at missions that they might have initially thought were beyond them. This is what the 364th needs in its reset phase, is a leader who gives his soldiers the mission and lets them make it happen. This reset phase is an opportunity to build the 364th in his own vision. Reset can be challenging, but it’s also rewarding. I look forward to seeing what the 364th will look like this time next year.”

When asked to look back on his legacy, Ives referred instead to the collective legacy of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command under his watch.

“Our legacy is about how we stood up the command, how we grew and mobilized the command, and how we

have become the best ESC in the U.S. Army,” Ives said.

“We have done a significant amount of work. When you look back in three short years since 2009, we have structured an operational command with Force Generation Mission Command responsibilities when there was none before.”

Ives admitted that, when his unit received its alert order, more than a few senior officers expressed doubts about its capability and readiness.

“If there is one personal legacy to remember about Brig. Gen. Ives, it is this,” Ives said. “I believed in you. I was fully convinced the 364th would be successful in Kuwait or any theater. Was it simply a commander’s bravado, or just hubris? Maybe a little bit, but truly, it was because I was witness to how you were forming, and I was internal to the culture of the 364th.

What I saw then, you still have. It is your culture, and you will never lose it.”

Ives credited his troops with forming a command and team in six months, managing the largest retrograde in the history of the U.S. Army in 56 days, saving more than $200 million through their logical hub, and nearly $20

“So remember, when called to duty, you answered,” Ives said. “Further, when you answered, you exceeded the standard, with what I have come to realize are two cultural values of the Army Reserve — mission without ego, and serving as an advocate of the taxpayer.”

Like Frink, Ives thanked the assembled civic leaders and civilian family members and friends in attendance for their support of the military.

By contrast to his peers, Black was a self-described

man of few words.

“To Maj. Gen. Frink, I promise you I will give you my full effort to keep this a top command,” Black said.

“To Brig. Gen. Ives, I promise you I will not screw up what you’ve given me. To my soldiers, I promise you I will make my decisions with you in mind. The mission will come first, as it must, but I will take care of you, just as you take care of the mission.

When people thank me for my service, I tell them it is my pleasure to get to work with dedicated young men and women like you.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Schools need a full arts program

Dr. Larry Nyland, Superintendent of the Marysville School District, recently announced his retirement effective at the end of the current school year. Praise for his efforts at improving instruction and test scores in the district will no doubt be heaped on him prior to his leaving, and Dr. Nyland’s hard work and dedication to his vision certainly deserve to be acknowledged.

Yet, since 2004, decisions made by Marysville School District officials under Dr. Nyland’s supervision have resulted in the gutting of arts education programs districtwide.

A robust choral music program that at one time featured a full-time choir teacher and five performing choirs at M-PHS has been slashed to just one small choir at M-PHS and one at MGHS campus, plus a small choir that meets after school hours at Marysville Getchell.

One thousand students in three smaller learning communities on the MG campus are not allowed to take choir during the school day even if they want to because of a “no crossovers” policy that allows only students in the International School of Communications to sign up for choir. Again, that is two choirs for 2,900 students.

The numbers for band and drama are equally appalling.

The only band opportuni-

ties that exist at MGHS are a small jazz ensemble that meets before school, and a recently formed pep band that meets after school. There are no opportunities for students to act in plays or musical plays at Marysville Getchell, because drama programs do not exist there.

The situation in visual arts instruction is a little better, but not much. All four SLCs at Marysville Getchell offer at least one visual arts course, but most of these are entry-level drawing or graphics courses. No ceramics, advanced placement studio art, or similar upper-level visual arts courses are offered.

The deterioration of opportunities to have music in the elementary schools is the worst in decades. Why don’t Marysville students deserve to study and grow through the arts? Why are they denied access to them (MGHS)?

I urge Marysville parents and citizens who care about the benefits of arts education to join in the process of selecting the new superintendent in the coming months.

Now is the time to let your voices be heard.

Shouldn’t Marysville students have the same access to arts education as students in Arlington, Lake Stevens, Stanwood and Everett? Let’s choose a leader who will commit to bringing back a full, robust arts program, one that students and parents alike can take pride in.

It took family to raise the Christmas spirit

C

hristmas came and went.

Somehow, I wasn’t able to get geared up for it this time around. That might have had something to do with no little ones around since so much of the joy is reflected from children. We seniors sometimes have to work at cranking up the enthusiasm to join in the general mood of the season.

We started with some mild outdoor decorating, mild because we’re now condo-dwellers with CC&Rs to observe. That stands for Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which means our grounds are supposed to look like everyone else’s grounds and if we dare to try something unique, we’ll hear from the Conformity Police, i.e. the governing board of the homeowners’ association. So far, we haven’t caught any flak from lining our walkway with lights.

With one of our offspring’s family sunning in Hawaii and two others spending Christmas with the outlaws, we settled for pulling the family together on December 29. A son and daughter live at opposite ends of Lake Stevens and the other daughter lives in Sammamish (The apples didn’t fall far from the tree).

So we’re able to get together often enough that there’s no need to be fussy about when our frequent and slightly riotous meetings take place.

The Christmas blahs also might have something to do with how the Graef clan rejects commercialized Christmas. Presents included homemade pickles and jellies. The grandkids got souvenir gifts from our last travels plus a few coins from Uruguay, Argentina and Chile to add to their collections. We adults do a wine exchange while the kids each received a gift card — everything from Sports Authority to Regal Cinema. In both groups, each person had one chance to exchange with someone else and

OPINION

since each person was covetous of what someone else held, this got a little wild.

We were fifteen around two tables. With a number of them leaning heavily toward vegetarianism, we offered two flavors of curry with chicken or shrimp options among fruit and veggie toppings.

About toppings, I spent the morning turning onions, tomatoes, papaya, pineapple and bananas into tiny cubes. Yogurt and mint-pepper sauces and heaps of that Indian flatbread, nan, completed the feast.

Curry and toppings took care of our end of dinner preps. According to a newish family tradition, the host provides a main entrée and guests bring the rest, which in the case of my younger daughter, Emily, can always be dangerous.

After desert, a pear upside-down cake topped with whipped cream, a call came from the kitchen: “Who’s for coffee?” On it came and it was only afterward that Emily passed the coffee package around. It was kopi luwak.

For the uninitiated, kopi luwak is also known as cat-poop coffee.

It’s been found that civet cats in Indonesia have a taste for the best beans which they ingest but can’t digest so out they come, pretty much whole except for digestive juices cutting the beans’ acidity.

Some adventurous Indonesian must have really been hard up for a cup of coffee when he became first to extract beans from poop found near a civet cat’s nest. The stuff is incredibly expensive which seems to add to its allure.

We have to watch Emily. She’s hoodwinked us before and she’s sure to try again. And with elephant poop coffee and panda poop tea now available — yes, it’s true, you can buy them on-line — she may not be through with us yet. At any rate, we gave our Hamilton Beach Coffee Station a thorough cleaning.

During a past Christmas exchange, she gave us each an oddshaped piece of red plastic. After letting us puzzle over what to do with them she stepped out of sight to demonstrate, producing a mellow flute-like rendition of Jingle Bells. It didn’t help. No one figured them out. Turns out, they were nose whistles. You breathe into one through the nose, changing pitch by changing the shape of your mouth.

That was many years ago and I still pull mine out now and then to amaze friends or confuse enemies.

One year my son gave me a hand-crafted putter (with head cover). That turned out to be a piece of tree-branch with a right angle knot at the end, somewhat trimmed up to resemble a putter.

The head-cover was a real head cover, a fox’s head with ears and little beady eyes he picked up at a tannery. A few stitches made it fit like a regular head cover. It holds the record for the most disgusting present I’ve ever received.

While the Christmas nonsense is over, the real and timeless message of Christmas will continue to guide our days. The tree is down and packed away. Decorations likewise.

Furniture moved to accommodate fifteen has been horsed back into place. It’s all put away — except for recollections of another fantastic family gathering that remain fresh in our memories.

A happy New Year to all.

Marysville joins Girl Scouts’ candlelight Stedman offers look back, ahead vigil for school shooting victims for Arlington Fire Department

From left, Cassidy and Heidi Fish are among the 26 Girl Scouts and their family members to sing “I Am One Voice” in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium on the evening of Jan. 4. staff who died in Newtown came from many backgrounds and faiths, so do we today,” Albright said. “I ask each of you to take a moment to pray in your tradition for the children, teachers, staff, first responders and their families, communities and nation.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recalled how unimaginable the news of the shooting had seemed when he’d heard it on his car radio that day.

“You wonder what could drive someone to do some-

thing so awful,” Nehring said. “Even though it happened 2,800 miles away, our sympathies are not any weaker, and what the Girl Scouts have done here today is commendable. The things you do may seem small sometimes, but they’re not.”

Tasha Branch, community development manager for the North Regional Girl Scouts, pointed out how personal this tragedy was for the Girl Scouts, since eight of the 12 girls who died were Girl Scouts, and two Girl Scout families lost sons.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville city and school district officials were among the dozens of community members who joined the Girl Scouts of Western Washington in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium on the evening of Friday, Jan. 4, to honor the victims and all those affected by the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A candlelight vigil featured Girl Scouts and their family members singing “I Am One Voice,” with 26 singers representing the 26 lives lost in Connecticut that day, before candles were passed out to attendees in the stands of Quil Ceda Stadium, so that they could join in the song.

Dr. Tom Albright, who serves as both a Marysville School Board member and chaplain for the Marysville Police Department and Fire District, acknowledged how the questions raised by such a tragedy are challenging to him, especially as a parent, a grandparent and the husband of a teacher.

“Just as the children and

ARLINGTON — If Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman had one message for the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 8, it was this: “We’re always there.”

Stedman reported that December’s calls to the Arlington Fire Department spiked, from the usual average of 10-12 per day to 22-24 per day, although he couldn’t say yet whether this was a seasonal peak or the start of a new trend.

Either way, Stedman touted Arlington Fire’s proactive stance on training, not only by raising the requirement bar for its captains and developing county-wide training programs for other fire and EMS agencies, but also by inviting the Arlington City Council to take part in its live fire exercises.

“We understand that fire

equipment is very expensive and the Council has to make informed decisions,” said Stedman, even as he laughed about his own concerns over leading the Mayor or Council members too close into a live fire.

Looking back on 2012, Stedman recalled “the bad day in June” when he was informed the fire department had lost 10 percent of its budget, which would require the department to lose two of its firefighters.

“I asked the firefighters if they would agree to 5 percent concessions across the board,” Stedman said.

“They came back to me and said, ‘No, we won’t do that. We want it to be 6.5 percent instead.’ No other union that I know of would do that.”

Looking ahead to the rest of 2013, Stedman is eager to update the fire department’s “out of date, nonexistent and bad” poli-

cy manuals, and promised that the memorial housing for the Sept. 11 World Trade Center girder that the department received from New York City is nearly complete.

“Again, I know we’re expensive, so I’ve instituted formal uniform inspections as well,” Stedman said. “We need to show that we’re being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, especially when we’ve got old apparatus that needs replacing. Fire ladders are typically 12 years old. Ours is 17. It already costs a lot of money to repair at that age.”

Stedman is likewise looking forward to seeing the findings of the recently approved joint regional fire services cooperative effort study, which is set to be completed by Aug. 15.

“Its analysis should help all of us become better service providers,” Stedman said.

Arlington Relay For Life kicks off

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Legion Park and the Arlington City Council Chambers were bustling with activity during the Arlington Relay For Life’s 2013 kickoff on Saturday, Jan. 4.

Arlington Relay For Life Publicity Co-Chairs Jennifer Egger and Miranda Shepherd explained that this year’s Relay is aggressively courting social media, with “ATownRelay” serving as both its Twitter hashtag and its Facebook address.

“Pictures send a powerful message, so we’ll be encouraging people to post those online,” Egger said. “Relay has developed an active youth following, so this is a great way to connect to those younger groups.”

Relay organizers started the day with 24 teams already signed up, and saw hundreds of individual volunteers sign up throughout the day.

“The biggest thing we’ve learned is to get the word out to our prospective volunteers early,” said Egger, who noted that this year’s total fundraising goal is $265,000. “It’s our fourth year of doing this in Arlington, and we’re close to hitting the million-dollar mark, so the earlier we can get started on getting a jump on that, the better.”

To that end, Egger and Shepherd reminded attendees that the “Coaches vs. Cancer” event kicks off at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18.

“Our fundraising goal for that is about $5,000,” said Shepherd, who promised the basketball players will again be “pinking it up” to show their support for the cause.

Arlington Relay For Life Co-Chairs Kim Deisher-Allen and Jessica Angel added that this year’s Relay — whose Big Topstyled theme is “Dream Big, Hope Big, Relay Big” — also marks the 100th anniversary of the American Cancer Society.

“We want people to know what they’re Relaying for,” said Deisher-Allen, who cited the American Cancer Society’s 24-hour 800-number and cancer prevention programs as benefits that even experienced volunteers can occasionally overlook. “We’ve been Relaying for four years, and even we didn’t know about some of this stuff.”

While the “Roads to Recovery” transportation program allows cancer patients to catch a ride to important appointments without leaning on loved ones who are likely overtaxed to begin with from providing care, the “Look Good, Feel Better” program at Cascade Valley Hospital teaches cancer patients the tricks to makeup, skin care and hair (or wig) care while undergoing treatment.

“I cared for my dad for two and a half years without knowing that some of these resources were available to us,” DeisherAllen said. “Plus, Relay has virtually no overhead, so 89 percent of every dollar raised goes directly to research and programs to help cancer patients and survivors.”

Caryn Brown, left, and Heather Jones sign up for the 2013 Arlington Relay For Life at its Jan. 5 kickoff.

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert shared how her perspective on cancer has changed since her sister was recently diagnosed with an ultra-rare form of cancer that she estimated only affects perhaps 400 people in the nation.

“After the holidays, I was driving in the car with my mom, and after about 20 minutes of silence, she asked, ‘What happens to people

who don’t have families?’” Tolbert said. “We’re what happens. All of you who step up for the people who are too weak to fight on their own. We become their warriors.”

Tolbert told attendees of the Relay kickoff that she hopes to see them at the Relay proper, June 22-23 at Arlington High School, so they can walk not just for her sister, but for cancer patients “from a

2-year-old girl in the United States to an 80-year-old woman in Japan.

It takes a village to fight back this invader in all our families’ lives.”

Team rallies are planned each month between 7-8 p.m. at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on Feb. 5, March 5, April 9, May 7, and June 4 and 18. To register or learn more, log onto http://relayforlife.org/arlingtonwa.

AHS freshmen win two matches

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington wrestling team had a tough time competing in overall points against Snohomish High School on Wednesday, Jan. 9, but that doesn’t mean that the young team didn’t come away with some success.

Two freshman, Jeremy Nygard at 106 pounds and Riley Oakes at 120 pounds, won two matches on decisions, with Nygard topping Snohomish’s Wyatt Butler 19-4 and Oakes topping Conner Snow 9-4.

The Panthers pinned four Eagles and the final team score was 59-9 for a Snohomish victory.

“We are in a tough 4A division with Snohomish,

Lake Stevens, Monroe and Mount Vernon,” said Arlington coach Barry Knott. “But we’ve competed well in tournaments against them.”

Snohomish went on to win the Marysville Premier Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 12, but Arlington took a 10th place team finish and had several athletes place in the top five in their weight classes.

Arlington hosted the Arlington Double Duals against Lakewood and Granite Falls on Monday, Jan. 14, but the results weren’t known as of press time.

“We aren’t going to dominate the double dual meet this year because we are very young,” said Knott.

“We’ve been doing really well at tournaments at the varsity level this season. We went to the Monroe Bearcat Invitational and finished third out of 16 teams, with one first-place, three second-place, a fourth-, a fifth- and a sixth-place winner. We sent our JV to the Barry Knott Classic at Nathan Hale High School, and finished eighth out of 14 teams, with a first-place, second-place, two thirdplace and two fifth-place winners.”

Since the first of the year, the team has had some success.

“At the Everett Classic on Jan. 7, we finished fourth out of 24 teams,” said Knott.

“There we had two firstplace finishes, a second-

place and a third-place finish.”

Overall, the team is looking forward to the postseason.

“We should be very competitive in the postseason this year,” said Knott. “We have enough good kids winning matches to outscore some of these schools with generally strong teams in tournaments.”

For Arlington, this season has been a period of growth for a relatively young team, said Knott.

“Jeremy Nygard is our freshman at 106, and he has only lost two matches all year,” he said. “He was a School Boy National AllAmerican and has been wrestling for years. He’s done really well for us. Boston Jones is another freshman with only a few losses all year. And Riley Oakes will probably wrestle at 113 for us in the postseason. He’s had more than 10 wins.”

Previous state competitors Scotty Bardell, Conner Gonzales and Brice Clariday, all juniors, are going to be key to Arlington’s success as well.

“Those juniors are very strong wrestlers and they will carry the torch for us in the postseason,” said Knott.

The Eagles will face an away meet against Monroe on Thursday, Jan. 17, and a home meet against Mount Vernon on Thursday, Jan. 24, both at 7 p.m.

“If we have a good lineup, we should compete well this week and next,” said Knott. “We’re still a work in progress, but we anticipate a good post-season.”

Cougars fall to Wildcats The Lakewood High School Cougars lost an away game against their rival Archbishop Murphy on Friday, Jan. 11, with a final score of 83-59.

Five-foot-nine sophomore guard Ryan Alford scored 18 points, including four 3-pointers during the game.

Six-foot-tall guard Paul Coleman scored 15 points, including one 3-pointer.

Six-foot-one senior Justin Peterson scored 10 points, 6-foot-2 guard Blaine Kelly scored six points, 5-foot-10 sophomore Hunter Fritz scored four points, 6-foot-1 senior Kendal Kippen scored three and 6-foot-1 sopho-

more Chance Schueller scored three.

The Cougars have won two out of six in-league games so far this season, and four out of 10 games overall.

The team is gearing up for the annual Cat Fight, a game between the Cougars and the Granite Falls Tigers, at home on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m., followed by another game against South Whidbey at home on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. They will also compete away against Kings on Friday, Jan. 25, for a Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising night for the American Cancer Society.

AHS hoops to host Coaches vs. Cancer

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — For the third year in a row, Arlington High School’s basketball program is hosting the Coaches vs. Cancer game, this year on Friday, Jan. 18, against Monroe at 7:15 p.m.

“The game began four years ago when the Wesco league boys basketball coaches decided to participate in this event — ironically the same year I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Caryn Brown, event organizer and wife of AHS varsity head coach Nick Brown.

“In 2011, Arlington hosted its first CvC game and the students and fans decided to wear pink to support Coach Brown. The fans still wear pink to continue to show their support for cancer awareness.”

The Coaches vs. Cancer game is a special fundraising event that raises money for the local Relay For Life, proceeds from which are donated to the American Cancer Society. The teams host raffles, games and more.

In 2012, the event raised $1,900.

“This year we are hoping to double what we raised last year and raise $4,000 during this event,” said Brown. “We will have gift basket raffles available at the entrance. We will be selling gift items such as jewelry, hats and hair clips. During halftime fans will have a chance to win $100 with a half-court winning shot. During halftime we also host a Pop-A-Shot contest.”

The fundraiser represents a feeling of community for the people of Arlington — especially the Eagles basketball team — because the first game coincided with Brown’s breast cancer diagnosis. Even four years later, it’s still a symbol of how members of the community can support cancer research to honor their neighbors.

“Due to the fact that most

of us have been touched by cancer somehow, we feel this is an important game for our students, our fans, the community and also our opposing team,” said Brown, who noted that survivors present during the game are considered Honorary Coaches.

“Not only do we raise awareness of the battle against cancer during this game, but we also do our best to raise funds for ACS. This game allows us to bring awareness to cancer in a different way — through a basketball game in a high school gymnasium — just another way to reach a diverse crowd and show them ways Arlington and ACS can help.”

Coaches vs. Cancer is sponsored by Cascade Valley Hospital, which will have representatives handing out free pink pompoms for the first 1,000 guests.

“This will be a really fun event,” said Jennifer Egger, community relations director for Cascade Valley Hospital and publicity co-chair for Relay For Life. “We encourage everyone to bring change for the raffles. We’ll have a pink gym and a ceremony for cancer survivors. It will be great.”

Attendees can look forward to a few new additions to the event this year, including the Hubb’s Dine and Donate event on Wednesday, Jan. 16, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., when Hubb’s Pizza and Pasta will donate 10 percent of all orders to the Coaches vs. Cancer game. Arlington High School students are hosting a dance right after the game and all students are encouraged to attend, as the proceeds will be donated to ACS. Cascade Valley Hospital will be present with giveaways at the entrance and the local Relay For Life representatives will offer information to all attendees.

Arlington Kickboxing Academy moves to new facility

ARLINGTON — Landon Showalter wants the community to know that the Arlington Kickboxing Academy hasn’t shut down, but has instead simply moved to 5919 195th St. NE. Indeed, the reason for AKA’s move is one that many businesses would hope to have.

“We just didn’t have enough room at the old place,” said Showalter, owner of the Arlington Kickboxing Academy, who invited the community to an open house to check out his new facility on Saturday, Jan. 12. “We liked that location, but we outgrew the building, and after four months here, we’ve already had to rearrange the mats because we’re starting to outgrow this place.”

Showalter has retired from competing in mixed martial arts himself, but he still serves as a coach to other competitors, and he’s supported at the Arlington Kickboxing Academy by his lead instructor, Ken Alexander, and his assistant instructor, Kevin Butler, both of whom come to the field with at least three years of experience apiece.

“Our main focus is on being involved in the community as a whole, though,” Showalter said. “We help students whether they want to be physically fit or able to defend themselves. We get a lot of wrestlers between seasons who are looking to stay in shape, and we offer fitness clubs and boot camps for regular folks.”

Showalter estimated that the Arlington Kickboxing Academy currently numbers at least 100 students, who attend a variety of different tailored programs, from the morning fitness sessions to those offered in the evenings.

“You don’t have to be a member,” Showalter said.

“We get a lot of parents late at night, after they’ve had a chance to get their kids settled down and quiet.”

Showalter is pleased not only with his new location’s larger interior space, with its minimum of walls and its high ceiling, but also with its proximity to the Arlington Airport trail and the garage door that serves as the front wall of the building.

“When summer comes, we can just roll that up and enjoy the open air,” Showalter said. “This place is more functional for pullup bars and battle ropes.

I think I’m going to hang some cross-fit rings and ropes from the ceiling as well.”

Besides the expertise of himself and his fellow instructors, Showalter believes what sets the Arlington Kickboxing Academy apart from other fitness clubs is its camaraderie.

“This isn’t just another 24-hour treadmill gym,” Showalter said. “We’re a tight-knit family here.

I’ve made a lot of friends through the Arlington Kickboxing Academy, and I’ve seen their lives improve through martial arts. I may be retired from competition, but when my guys get

To that end, Showalter invited the community to the Arlington Submission Challenge at Soccer First Indoor Sports, located at 19805 74th Ave. NE in Arlington, on Saturday, Jan. 19. The day kicks off at 9 a.m. with same-day weighins and is set to include grapplers from across

Washington state, and even Canada.

ARLINGTON — Cascade Valley Hospital has announced its first baby of 2013, Kiah Mae Bleily, born on Monday, Jan. 7, at 1:23 p.m.

Kiah is the first child of Victoria Trailor and Thomas Bleily of Darrington.

“Mom and baby are doing just great,” said Jenny McCann, nurse manager of the Cascade Valley Hospital Family Birthing Center. “We’re happy to have Kiah kick off another fabulous year of happy babies born at Cascade Valley.”

In addition to a beau-

tiful handmade quilt and Halo sleep-sack, which are given to all babies born at Cascade Valley Hospital, Kiah was welcomed with a special gift basket generously donated by Babies “R” Us of Lynnwood.

Kiah was delivered by Dr. Ann Hoffman of the Cascade Valley Women’s Health Clinic. If you would like more information about establishing prenatal care, labor and delivery or pediatric services available in the community, please contact Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics at 360-618-7848.

Free whooping cough, flu vaccination clinics scheduled 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Comcast Arena, located at 2000 Hewitt Ave. This clinic is sponsored by the South EverettMukilteo Rotary Club and coincides with a free skating event for the public in the main ice rink.

The Snohomish Health District will provide 200 doses of adult flu vaccine and 200 doses of adult whooping cough vaccine, also called Tdap, at the WorkSource event, and 300 doses of each at the

Comcast clinic.

Washing hands, covering your coughs and staying home when you are sick are effective ways to reduce spreading and getting diseases. The best way to prevent illness is vaccination.

The flu season in Snohomish County is proving to be more severe than usual. Three adults in the county have died from flu complications in the past several weeks. Getting a current flu shot

is the best way to protect yourself and others. Everyone 6 months and older should get a shot every year, since the flu vaccine changes to match the most common illnesses.

Vaccination is also the best protection against whooping cough.

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is no longer at epidemic levels in Snohomish County, but cases of it are still being confirmed and it can still be deadly to babies.

All adults who have not had a whooping cough booster shot should get one. It is especially important that all pregnant women and people, including teens, who are around newborns get the booster shot to protect infants.

I love to talk about anything & also talk a lot when I'm nervous. I also love attention. I should be in a quieter home environment & would like one with children above the age of twelve. Come give me a chance, I am a beautiful long haired cat that would just love a new home to live in. :-)

Name: Toby Animal ID: 18850640 Breed: Toy Fox Terrier/Mix Age: 10 Years Gender: Male Color: White/Tan/Golden Spayed/Neutered: Yes This little guy is in need of a nice lap to sit on. He loves to go for walks every day & ride in the car.

A little timid at first but he will blossom. (Probably no small children). He was a stray, so we don't know how he does w/other pets. Another dog may be a great buddy for him to have & should come down to meet him. He is very calm & will make a great dog for any living situation.

All animals adopted from EAS are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas.

All cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
