ARLINGTON — The Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival for 2013 added not only a second day, but also a host of new activities which the city of Arlington’s Bill Blake and Sarah Lopez deemed successful.

“The paddle rafting on the Stillaguamish River Friday morning [Feb. 1] got 12 signups, which is great for a debut,” Blake said on Saturday, Feb. 2.

“The ‘Predators of the Heart’ wild animal show Friday night drew about 800 people, which shows how much people care about wildlife in Arlington.

The Port Susan Preserve saw 150 people this year for its nature conservancy guided tour — its biggest crowd ever — and they saw eagles and snowy owls.”

“This also gets more people walking the streets of down-

town Arlington and checking out its shops,” Lopez said.

“We’d welcome any other ideas for activities that people might have.”

While Blake aims to add “a couple of new things each year,” the Eagle Festival’s familiar favorites remained popular in the meantime, with the second floor of Magnolia Hall attracting onlookers from Marysville and even Everett to the Arlington Arts Council’s Nature Art Show.

“The quality of art has really improved over the years, said Berta Baker, organizer of the Nature Art Show, as she explained how the Arlington Arts Council brought in a Textile Art Show of cloth dolls for the first floor of Magnolia Hall, while moving the kids’ crafts over to the Arlington United Church next door, SEE EAGLE, PAGE 2

McDuffy gives State of the District

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Progress was the theme at the fifth annual State of the District address when dozens of Arlington residents gathered to hear Arlington Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Kristine McDuffy speak at the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Jan. 31.

McDuffy began by honoring the history of Arlington Public Schools and ended with a look toward the future.

“I’d like to reflect on the past five years,” said McDuffy. “This has been a great journey, but it has also been a difficult one.

The economy fell in beneath us as I walked in the door in 2008, but in the past five years we have accomplished more than I could have imagined even in the best of times. It has certainly made us stronger.”

Graduation rates have increased from 65.1 percent in 2008 to 79.6 percent in 2012. Seven Arlington schools received state awards in the past four years and student achievement across all grade levels has increased.

“Our core work is student achievement and we have made great progress,” said McDuffy, who attributed some of that progress to the district’s devel-

opment and implementation of a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC).

“It is a fabulous document that our staff can log on to and check for their content unit. It doesn’t matter if they are at Post or Haller, all of our teachers can follow the GVC. This has taken us so far. It’s teachers’ work and that is what’s exciting because you can sustain that. We are still building it, but we’ve gone a long way.”

The Washington State Board of Education and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction have collaborated on SEE DISTRICT, PAGE 2

April 3, 1950 — January 28, 2013

K a r e n M a r i e Swanson, 62, of Marysville, WA passed away the night of January 28, 2013 with her brother, Larry Swanson and sister, Jan Michael by her side. She was born in Everett on April 3, 1950 to Alden and Edna Swanson. Karen grew up in Marysville and attended the Marysville Schools. She retired from GTE/Verizon after more than 30 years of service.

Karen showed her generosity and love for family and friends by showering them with gifts and “goodies”. She had many close friends whom have continued to show their love and devotion to the family during this time.

If you knew Karen, then

you knew that her nieces, Catherine (John) Ambro and Anna (Martin) Oster wald, her nephew Jonathan Swanson and her great-nieces, Emma Ambro and Amelia Osterwald, were the loves of her life. She loved the family traditions. Her greatest gift to us was her assurance she will see us again when we meet in Heaven.

Services will be held a.m., Friday, February 8, 2013 at the Church of Christ, 4226 92nd St. N.E. Marysville, WA. Reception to follow.

Graveside services at 2 p.m., Maraysville Cemetary. In her memory, donations can be made to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance.

EAGLE FROM PAGE 1 which was serving a variety of homemade breads and soups.

“My husband and sons entered the art contest, but we’ve done everything today,” said Jennifer Christopherson of Arlington, as her son Jacob colored an eagle drawing. “We did the horse-drawn covered wagon ride, watched the chainsaw carvers in Legion Park and went to see the birds of prey in the Council Chambers. This is our first Eagle Festival, but we’re definitely coming back next year. It’s a really fun family day.”

While Arlington United Church emptied two pots of soup to help fund projects supported by the women of the church, and the Country Chainsaw Carvers returned with 10 of their members to demonstrate their craft and sell their wares, Sarvey Wildlife Center showed off formerly wild birds, in the Arlington City Council Chambers, that can no longer be released due to debilitating injuries.

“Hu Iwake has been with us 12 of her 13 years,” Kestrel SkyHawk said of the Golden Eagle perched on her arm. “It’s terrible that we have to keep such a magnificent bird because her beak is misaligned, but we can’t realign it and she’d starve out in the wild.

Normally, Golden Eagles are quite fierce, so that we can show one off to the public is an exceptional opportunity.”

Debbie Tremko again led her fellow Country Chainsaw Carvers’ return to Legion Park for the Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival on Feb. 1-2.

McDuffy finished her speech with a nod to the changing landscape of public education, including the implementation of new Common Core State Standards and the Smarter Balanced Assessment, which replac-

es the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP), and increased graduation requirements.

“There is a lot on the horizon,” said McDuffy. “It takes time, it takes the right tools and it takes talent. Teachers are doing incredible work to examine data and work together to help kids. It’s making a difference.”

McDuffy added, “This is hard work but we’ve got this. I can’t be more proud of the team we have here in Arlington.”

Will more gun control laws stop the perpetrator behind the gun?

Guest opinion

Rep. Dan Kristiansen

by the fact that my office is getting more calls on this issue than any other since the legislative session began on Jan. 14. Many people are asking, how do we stay safe? How do we protect our children? How do we preserve our second amendment rights as law-abiding citizens?

With more laws?

I want to bring another side to this debate that I don’t think people are talking about. Yet, I think it is really important.

Historically, as we look back to the various shooting tragedies that have happened across the United States, there’s been one thing each of those incidents have in common.

In every circumstance in which the perpetrator prepared to do harm, that person broke the law, possibly numerous times, before pointing the gun at the intended targets and pulling the trigger.

With that in mind, I’m asking the question no one else is asking: What law or laws could have effectively stopped the perpetrator when he/ she ignored and broke the other laws and proceeded to commit the tragedy?

And here’s another question we need to be asking: When the person with the gun has broken those laws (even new ones that might be enact-

ed) and is in a place of business, a classroom or a public location pointing the weapon at people with his/ her finger on the trigger, now what?

If it was your child in that line of fire, what would you want to be done at that very moment?

I’m not just asking the question rhetorically. I really want to know what our citizens think.

It’s time we begin seriously discussing this issue. Not from the point of emotion or polarizing positions, but from the standpoint of reality. Reality tells me that we can pass many laws in the state as a reaction to this horrible tragedy. But at the end of the day, the perpetrator heading to a destination to commit evil has already ignored the laws.

More laws on the books will likely be ignored by the gunman as well.

Give your input on next superintendent Community input on our search for a new superintendent is being accepted through Feb. 11. The following are some priorities that have come up in my conversations with teachers and parents. Please consider sending all or some of the these items, as well as any additional input you may have, to Dr. Wayne Robertson, Superintendent Search Consultant, at wanzworld@hotmail. com.

The person selected to be our next superintendent will have a major impact on the nature and direction of education in Marysville for years to come. Your input will help our Board of Directors make the right decision for our children and for our

community.

1) Broad and equitable access to music and arts education, physical education and recess, and Career and Technical Education (CTE).

2) 21st century technology for all students and schools.

3) Early intervention and support for struggling and at-risk students, as well as a concrete plan for prioritizing the social and emotional wellbeing of all children.

4) Maximum and effective inclusion for students with special needs.

5) Education that is unambiguously integrated with our larger community and is characterized by strong partnerships with families and community organizations.

6) An ongoing commitment to creating the conditions that allow teachers to effectively do their jobs.

To be included in this directory, please call 360.659.1300 S

7) Support for teacher creativity and innovation in the classroom.

8) An emphasis on education for active and responsible citizenship in our schools, our district, and in our larger community.

9) Willingness to take a stand when federal and state mandates interfere with our common mission.

10) Commitment to helping us define and clarify our own vision as an educative community, rather than imposing a predetermined vision for our district.

11) Commitment to openness and transparency in matters of district decision-making and financial management.

ollowing the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, there have been a number of legislators who have introduced legislation in the Washington House of Representatives as a response. There are those who want to see stricter gun control laws. And on the other side, we’re seeing bills that would fight to protect the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

It’s been quite a polarizing issue with no decisive way of knowing how this issue will play out in the Legislature. Certainly, all of us want to make sure our children are safe when they go to school. We also want to make sure our families are safe in their homes, at their workplaces and in their communities.

We are all concerned as evidenced

AHS wrestlers advance to regionals

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

SNOHOMISH — The Arlington High School wrestling team took fifth place at the Wesco 4A SubRegional Tournament at Snohomish High School from Feb. 1 to Feb. 2.

Six Eagle wrestlers are moving on to the regional tournament on Feb. 9, with one alternate.

“We had a champion, Jake Ferro, a junior at 182 pounds,” said assistant coach Barry Knott, who himself won an award for Assistant Coach of the Year. “We had a second place wrestler, Bryce Thomas, a junior at 132 pounds. We had three wrestlers take fourth place as well.”

Freshman Jeremy Nygard took fourth place at 106 pounds, after he pinned Sidat Kanyi from Edmonds-Woodway and Anthony Carrillo from Mariner in his first two matches. He beat Gabe Baltazar of Edmonds-Woodway, 14-0, but injured his shoulder and default went to Wyatt Butler of Snohomish.

Junior Conner Gonzales placed fourth at 138 pounds, after pinning Ven Hong from Kamiak and Keenan

Thomas from Lake Stevens in his first two matches. He beat Kamiak’s Tyler Frisch, 12-1, but a knee injury defaulted his final match to Lake Stevens’ Thomas.

Scotty Bardell, also a junior, took fourth place at 145 pounds. He pinned Lynnwood’s Rob Kluth in 44 seconds and beat Snohomish’s Joseph Proffit, 5-2. He beat Lake Stevens’ Jack LeBlanc in a 4-1 decision, but also had an ankle injury which defaulted his last match to Andrew Villalobos of Mariner.

Sophomore Gareth Henderson took fifth place at 195 pounds. He pinned Mahdi Shahhosseini of Lynnwood and Cascade’s David Gutierrez. He was pinned in his final match by Hector Morell Jr. of Jackson.

Ferro, Thomas, Nygard, Gonzales, Bardell and Henderson are all qualified for the Wesco 4A Regional Tournament on Saturday, Feb. 9.

“We had a couple of injuries and we finished fifth when we were hoping for third,” said Knott. “We are hoping that our seeding will favor us. Our fourth place guys will wrestle their first place wres-

Scotty Bardell rolled his ankle, Jeremy Nygard hurt his shoulder and Conner [Gonzales] has a knee injury, so we are giving them rest this week to go out and do their best next week. Scotty, Conner and Bryce have all wrestled at state and they are really good wrestlers.”

Alfred Mosqueda finished in sixth place at 220 pounds and is an alternate. “If anyone ahead of him is injured or can’t wrestle, he’ll be going to regionals as well,” said Knott.

The Wesco 4A Regional Tournament is at Snohomish High School on Saturday, Feb. 9, at 10 a.m.

The Eagles have made it into the postseason and faced Mariner at home in the first game of the Wesco 4A District Tournament on Tuesday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m.

Lady Eagles ready for playoff game vs. Kamiak

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — A 68-47 win over Mount Vernon in their last regular season game is just what the Lady Eagles needed going into the Wesco 4A District Tournament on Feb. 6.

“I think we feel really good right now, we’ve been playing really well and put ourselves in a good position for the postseason,” said head coach Joe Marsh.

The team’s final regular season game was held at home on Thursday, Jan. 31, and the Bulldogs had a tough time keeping up with the skill and focus of the Eagles.

The Wesco 4A North division champions have 12 league wins and only two losses this season, so it is no wonder that they outscored Mount Vernon, a team with only one league victory, by 21 points.

“Krista [Showalter] had a career high on senior night, so that was great for us,” said Marsh. “Lindsay Brown had a great game. She played really well. But I think it

was just another great team effort. The whole team — that’s what’s made us great so far this season.”

Showalter was certainly a driving force behind the Eagles’ win, with 24 points, including four 3-pointers.

The Bulldogs kept up the pace with the Eagles during the first quarter with 13 points to Arlington’s 16, but after that it seemed to be the Eagles’ game, as they upped the ante offensively adding another 19 points in the second quarter, leading Mount Vernon 35-24 going into halftime. They kept the lead in the third and fourth quarters, putting up another 33 points in the second half to the Bulldogs’ 23 points. They finished with a 21-point advantage, ending with 68-47 on the board.

Brown scored 12 points during the game, with one 3-pointer. Jayla Russ scored 11 points and Taylor Graham and Jessica Ludwig each scored seven points, with Graham scoring a 3-pointer. Lyndsay Leatherman scored four points and Emma Janousek scored one 3-pointer.

Although it was the final game of the regular season, the Lady Eagles are one of the best girls basketball programs in the state and head now to the first playoff game on Wednesday, Feb. 6.

“We just need to play at a higher level,” said Marsh on the plan for their first postseason game. “There’s no going backwards. We just have to keep doing the things we’ve been doing. We have a great defense and we feel really good right now.”

Marsh said that he isn’t worried about overconfi-

dence blurring the players’ focus.

“Before this last week we lost three of our games,” he said, of losses to Lynnwood, Stanwood and Lake Stevens.

“So we went through that and that really helped us to refocus. It’s nice to get a few wins in before playoffs. I’m not worried about overconfidence at this point.”

The girls face the Kamiak Knights, a team that’s ranked fourth in the South 4A division with a league record of 5-10, at home on Feb. 6 at 7:15 p.m.

ARLINGTON — The Atonement Free Lutheran Church of Arlington will host a unique public debate near the end of the month, as a retired nuclear physicist and a local historian ask on the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 26, “Does the God of the Bible Exist?”

Just as Lycklama will be arguing that the God of the Bible does exist, so will Barden — a retired business owner who’s spent the past 40 years studying the histories of various civilizations and religious beliefs — be addressing this question from a historical and archaeological perspective, rather than a theological one.

AHS Robotics faces ‘rebuilding year’

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — As the Arlington High School Robotics Team counts down to the end of its build season on Feb. 19 and the start of its competition in Seattle on March 27, its members are facing a novel challenge with slightly diminished numbers who boast significantly less experience than the previous year’s team.

“Last year, we had a bunch of seniors who’d been in the program since they were freshmen, and when they graduated we lost the skills they’d built up,” said Caroline Vogl, who first joined the team as a freshman last year, but has since become such a fixture that even a few of her fellow sophomores this year assume she’s a junior.

“It’s mostly just sophomores and juniors now, with maybe two seniors. I still have a lot of friends here, but I was friends with all the seniors.

It’s a rebuilding year.”

With the team’s numbers declining from more than 30 members last year to barely more than two dozen this year, Vogl acknowledged that time has likewise become scarce, since fewer people still have to perform the same amount of

work, and without as many seniors, the sophomores and juniors have had to step up into leadership roles.

These difficulties are compounded by the competitive challenge with which their robot is tasked this year, which features not only the familiar mechanical operation of shooting projectiles — in this case, frisbees — but also the entirely new obstacle of climbing a pyramid of steel bars.

“Our robot gets to fall off a pyramid this year,” said Geff Hederich, a robot programmer who, like Vogl, is a sophomore in his second year with the program. If Hederich seemed chipper, and perhaps even enthusiastic, over the prospect of his team’s robot getting toppled, it might be because he relishes facing new challenges. “I like learning through experience. Beyond just programming, I’ve gone into wood shop this year, and it’s expanded what I’m able to do. I have hand-eye coordination, but I don’t have everything-else coordination, and just getting off the computer for a while helps out with that.”

Junior Connor Tilley joined the team this year to go into programming, but

like Hederich, he’s found himself broadened by shouldering additional unexpected responsibilities.

“I’ve had to adapt to what I wasn’t prepared for,” said Tilley, who’s worked as a fabricator of the robot’s structure. “I fell in love with the engineering, though, and I never would have found out how much I could love it if I hadn’t joined this team.”

“How many kids know what they want to do when they graduate?” asked Amy Smith, a team parent who volunteers as a supervisor for the students. “Because these kids do. Robotics gives them an opportunity to do something they’re interested in.”

While the AHS Robotics Team lost the time-tested savvy of last year’s seniors, it’s gained a trio of adults as committed mentors, including not only Amy and her husband Steve Smith — the latter an Interior Communications Electrician with the U.S. Navy — but also Jim Hoskinson, a fellow team parent who works as an engineer for Boeing.

“My downfall is that I try to get too technical too fast,” said Hoskinson, who joked that his own children won’t

“So I’ve been trying to show simple ways in which math and science apply to everything we do. It’s great when kids can apply that to handson, real-world skills.”

“I’m kind of jealous,” Steve Smith laughed. “They didn’t have programs like this when I was in high school.

It not only makes learning fun for them, as they figure out why things work and how to make them work better, but it makes teaching this stuff fun for me. If you do it as your everyday job, you might take it for granted, until you see their eyes light up.”

Even students whose contributions are less technical,

such as those of Vogl as the team’s public relations person, are no less enthusiastic.

“I really like doing the community outreach,” said Vogl, who meets with businesses, takes photographs and maintains the website for the Robotics Team.

“I’ve made so many friends because of robotics.”

Arlington School Board recognized

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — On Jan. 28, the Arlington School District Board of

Directors was officially recognized as part of the state of Washington’s School Board Recognition Month in January.

“Over the past 18 years, public school districts and their communities have acknowledged the dedication, commitment and hard

work of their school board members each January,” said Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District.

The Arlington School Board’s current lineup includes President Ursula Ghirardo, Vice President Kay Duskin, Legislative Representative Dr. Jeff Huleatt, and members Jim Weiss and Bob McClure, as well as student advisors Russell Smithson and Olivia Curnett.

Conley explained that, with the exception of their student advisors, school boards are elected, and their members are tasked with “governance responsibilities in vision, structure, accountability and advocacy,” overseeing policies in curriculum, personnel, instruction, community relations and management support.

“The care and commitment of our School Board

members is extraordinary,” said Dr. Kristine McDuffy, superintendent of the Arlington School District.

“They devote hundreds of hours to ensure that we have a strong vision for the future, a clear path for the present and the necessary resources focused on our core work.

I can’t thank them enough for their vision, their commitment and their tireless support.”

Kathy Engell, principal of Kent Prairie Elementary, credited the School Board members with investing long hours and hard work into researching and soliciting input, so that they might better understand the complex issues affecting not just Arlington’s schools, but public education as a whole.

“Members of the Board view the work they do through the lens of what’s best for the kids of Arlington,” Engell said.

“Using this filter, students

are the winners, staff are supported, parents are heard and the work of education moves forward.”

“With Board support, we saw a need to align our instruction and assessments to state standards, and the common core standards adopted nationwide, so that we can improve our instruction for our students,” said Adele Barborinas, program support specialist for Presidents Elementary.

“We’ve already seen major gains in student achievement as a result of this process. The adoption of this year’s calendar allows us to meet and collaborate once a month around our Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum, and is further proof of the deep commitment our Board has to student success.”

Board meetings are generally open to the public and held on the second and fourth Mondays of each month.
