MARYSVILLE — The Arlington High School Air Force Junior ROTC earned itself distinction in a number of categories at the Olympic Division Northwest Drill and Rifle Competition at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Feb. 23, but even as its cadets took pride in their accomplishments, they agreed that they need more members to keep their program vital. AHS AFJROTC Cadet Senior Airmen Isaac Sandoval and Erica Saldana took fifth and sixth place, respectively, in the physical fitness evaluations for male and female JROTC cadets, while Cadet Senior Airman Amber Blankenship and Cadet 1st Lt. Ariel Taylor took third place in the dual armed exhibition drill, and the AHS

AFJROTC Color Guard took fourth in the Color Guard 2 category. However, the total cadet count for the AHS AFJROTC currently stands at barely more than 100, and its armed drill team for the Feb. 23 competition numbered only five members, including Taylor and Blankenship. “A cadet count of only 103 is really low,” said Cadet 2nd Lt. Caleb Burns, who serves as commander of the AHS AFJROTC marksmanship team that was just started this school year. “Yes, these competitions make for long days — we’re looking at a minimum of 12 hours each time — and especially in my first year as commander of a team that’s in its own first year, it’s going to be challenging, but it’s so rewarding SEE JROTC, PAGE 2

Rotary Club of Arlington President Linda Byrnes touts the Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus program during the Feb. 19 City Council meeting.

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington proclaimed Feb. 23, 2013, as “Rotary Day” during the City Council’s Feb. 19 meeting, in recognition of its numerous community service projects within the state of Washington, across the nation and around the world, as Rotary Club of Arlington members touted an upcoming event to benefit one of the Rotary’s most notable causes. “I’ve hosted exchange students through Rotary and I still get postcards from them, even though some of them attended the old Arlington High School,” said City

Council member Marilyn Oertle, serving as mayor pro tem in Mayor Barbara Tolbert’s absence that evening. “Rotary also recently matched the Arlington Arts Council’s funds for the ‘Sound Garden’ in Legion Park.” An average of 7,000 secondaryschool students each year experience life in another country through Rotary’s Youth Exchange program, while an estimated 40,000 students from 130 countries have studied abroad since 1947 as Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars, and Rotary’s Group Study Exchange program has helped more than 67,000 young professionals explore their career fields in other countries.

While Rotary has also contributed nearly $1.2 billion and “countless volunteer hours to the protection” of more than two billion children in 122 countries, according to the proclamation read aloud by Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield, local Rotary members were looking to spotlight another of their programs that evening. Rotary Club of Arlington President Linda Byrnes, herself a former City Council member, acknowledged the vital role that local governments play in making Rotary projects possible, and acknowledged that Rotary SEE ROTARY, PAGE 2

International had asked municipalities throughout America and Canada to proclaim the “Rotary Day” to draw attention to the Rotary Foundation’s PolioPlus program, launched in 1985. Since then, Rotary has spearheaded efforts with the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF to immunize the children of the world against polio, and polio cases have dropped by 99 percent since 1988. “This January marked a first in the history of mankind,” Byrnes said. “It was the first month ever without a new case of polio.

Pakistan was diagnosed, but we are so close to wiping out polio forever. We’ve saved the lives of thousands of children already and we have to keep going until we’re done.” To that end, Rotary Club of Arlington members Lee Harman and Ron Love are coordinating the return of the “Music in the ManCave” event to help support PolioPlus. March 2 will mark the third “Music in the ManCave” event. The previous two such events raised more than $78,000 for Rotary’s PolioPlus program. “Jazz in the ManCave” will run between 5:30-9:30 p.m. on March 2 in Harman’s hangar at the Arlington Municipal Airport, located at Suite C of 17415 51st Ave.

NE in Arlington. “Anyone who’s ever played poker in Lee’s hangar knows you could eat off the floor,” Love said as he distributed fliers for the event at the City Council meeting. “We’re asking people to bring food enough for themselves and others, and at the end of the evening if you could write a check for whatever you can afford that’d be great, whether it’s $10, $20 or $2 million Last year alone we raised about $27,000.” Further details can be found at the www.musicinthemancave.com website, which features a flyer that everyone is welcome to print and share. “Music in the ManCave” is also on Facebook at www.facebook. com/musicinthemancave.

joined the AHS AFJROTC this school year. “We didn’t know each other at first, but we got to know each other so quickly that we became comfortable around each other. We’re like a family now.” “From the first day I met her, it was like she was my sister,” said Garcia, a freshman, of her “best friend” and fellow first-year cadet, Saldana. “We even have team dinners before our competitions that we all call ‘family dinners.’” Saldana and Garcia not only joined Burns in praising their JROTC instructors — retired Air Force Maj. Mike Blue and Master Sgt. Alvin Moore — for the kinship, stimulating conversations and laughter that they foster, but also credited their lessons and camaraderie with

teaching them the skills of leadership, cooperation, selfreliance and responsibility. “Practices can be tough because if one person messes up, we have to go over all of it again,” Garcia said. “But when you work hard and get promoted for it, it gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.” “Our teachers are awesome and everyone likes each other,” Burns said. “Everyone is there because they want to be there. JROTC is not just a military recruiter. I love the military aspect of it, but you also get school credits out of it.” “The aerospace classes are difficult for me, but it’s worth it,” Garcia said. “We stick together. We’re the U.S. Air Force. Nothing can stop us.”

Counterfeit money Cedar Grove faces circulating in Arlington class action lawsuits BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — From Jan. 15 to Feb. 21, the Arlington Police Department has recorded seven incidents of counterfeit money being passed at local businesses. These incidents have been occurring throughout the city of Arlington, including Island Crossing, Smokey Point and the businesses at and around the intersection of Highway 9

and 204th Street. Arlington city officials report that most of the counterfeit money has been in the form of fake $20 bills, although a fake $50 bill and a fake $100 bill have also been passed. Arlington Police Cmdr. Brian DeWitt provided a list of indicators that people should keep an eye out for. “Signs to look for in counterfeit bills would include duplicate serial numbers, a lack of watermarks or tags in the paper, if the paper

feels funny or its ink seems slightly different, or if it doesn’t have some of the standard security features such as holograms,” DeWitt said. The United States Secret Service website at w w w. s ec ret s e r v i ce . g ov / know_your_money.shtml is designed to help people detect counterfeit currency. The Arlington Police Department urges you to call 911 immediately if you suspect a fake bill has been passed at your business.

Prior to showtime, Arlington Relay For Life vendors will be selling products and providing refreshments in the lobby, the proceeds of which will go exclusively to Relay For Life. “We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Relay,” AHS drama teacher Scott Moberly said.

“It’s an excellent cause and we’re looking forward to filling the Performing Arts Center with audience members who enjoy great musical theater and want to join in the fight against cancer.” Moberly added that fully half of the proceeds from this performance will be donated to Relay For Life.

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School’s theatrical production of “Legally Blonde” has partnered with the Arlington Relay For Life to support the American Cancer Society through a special matinee performance on Saturday, March 9, at 1 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to wear pink to represent the Relay For Life’s fight against cancer, and also to coordinate with the fash-

Two class actions have been filed against Cedar Grove alleging that its Everett and Maple Valley composting facilities create noxious odors that interfere with neighboring residents’ ability to use and enjoy their property. These odors have allegedly created such a stench that even normal use of their property, like birthday or holiday parties and outdoor barbecues and gatherings, has been intolerable. Unlike the lawsuits that were previously filed on behalf of specific groups of residents, the two cases filed Feb. 13 by the law offices of Michael Withey and Macuga, Liddle & Dubin seek class action status on behalf of thousands of residents, and demand that Cedar Grove install the equipment necessary to eliminate the stench. The class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of all residents within a four-mile radius of either facility. The cases seek compensation for the nuisance allegedly created by the odors and for any neg-

ative impact the odors have had on property values. The lawsuits also seek to change the way Cedar Grove operates both facilities, to eliminate their alleged emission of odors into the surrounding neighborhoods. The class action complaints seek a cessation of the odors, because they claim that Cedar Grove has refused to eliminate the noxious odors, despite the fact that thousands of complaints have been lodged regarding the odors and the state has fined the facilities in excess of $100,000. “We know from our investigation that these odors are not merely affecting a small group of residents,” said Michael Withey, one of the attorneys handling the case. “There are potentially thousands of homeowners who have suffered daily from these odors, and our clients want Cedar Grove to act now to fix the problems at both facilities for everyone who is being affected. The community demands no less.” According to the complaints, Cedar Grove’s Everett

and Maple Valley facilities are among the largest composting facilities in the region, with each site taking in yard waste and leftover food, which they then grind and stack into mounds of compost, which is in turn bagged and sold. The complaints allege that, in recent years, as the quantities of compost have increased and/or changed, the odor and emissions have become worse. Susan Thoman, director of public affairs and communications for Cedar Grove, offered the following comments on Feb. 13: “At this hour, we have not been served the complaints, and first obtained copies of the complaints via a media contact. With that, we have not had time to review the documents yet. We are committed to being a good neighbor and a valued asset in the communities where we operate.” Affected residents who are interested in learning more about the lawsuits are being urged to contact the law firms at 800-698-4054.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where is the personal responsibility?

“The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the county (sic), and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.”—John C. Calhoun: Speech, July 13, 1835. Is it too much to ask that our elected county office holders simply do the job they were elected to do? I read the past articles and letters to the editor regarding the activities of various county employees and the County Executive and all sorts of “cloak and dagger” emailing, FOI requests, and smooth– talking non-answers regarding all this activity and wonder why they aren’t simply doing the work of the county and nothing more or less and regarding their public office as an opportunity to uphold it with dignity, honesty and integrity? At some point, the over 700,000 citizens of Snohomish County deserve much better leadership than one which is constantly avoiding investigation. As Mr. Calhoun so aptly states, a public office is a public trust and therefore should not benefit an individual or a party, and yet, all of these alleged activities by the Executive and his employees seem to be only protecting a person from public exposure. If a wise person didn’t want “distasteful public exposure” then he would simply not be in any way associated with “distasteful activities” or put himself in the “public trust.” So, my question is what have these individuals actually done

to benefit the county? And, if they have so much extra time on their hands to be able to play their alleged “cloak and dagger” games of political intrigue, then maybe we, as the taxpaying citizens who pay all these salaries and benefits, need to demand a review of the county’s employment needs more closely. To the voting public: please make sure when you vote for someone that the person has the personal characteristics which make a trustworthy public servant. Catherine Paxton Arlington

Name the new city park after Norma Jean Dierk We understand that the city of Marysville has acquired the property that was once the tree farm belonging to the Dashiell family. This will be a welcome addition to our city parks. A real estate acquisition like this takes a great deal of work. Thank you to Norma Jean Dierk for recognizing the potential of the property years ago, and to everyone who helped in the long process of getting the needed grants approved. One important piece of our community identity is an awareness of the history of our shared spaces. In order to recognize this history, we feel the city should commemorate the original owners by naming the new park after the Dashiell family. Bruce and Margot Tipton Marysville

Pain at the pump

ave you noticed what’s happening to gas prices? Even with discounts at Costco, Safeway or Freddy’s it’s scary. On Feb. 21 the Fourth Street Shell and Standard posted $3.79 for regular, the same as the Grove Street Union 76. Tulalip’s Chevron megastation was low at $3.66 per gallon. The price of gasoline invaded a conversation in the Y locker room the other day. Frank kicked it off by asking, “Why is it that we pay 40 cents more per gallon than they do in Spokane?” Everyone had an opinion. Every opinion was different. It bugs me when there’s no apparent cause behind a real issue so I went to work. If you’re following this issue, you know that there’s no end to the theories. Jacqueline Leo of Financial Times wrote, “U.S. refineries are switching over from winter to summer fuel, which is more expensive to produce.” But that doesn’t explain the difference between Seattle and Spokane. A McClatchy editorial blamed speculators in the energy market. “Like locusts ravaging fertile crops, gasoline prices are soaring again and eating away at purchasing power of ordinary Americans.” Still no light shed on the Seattle-Spokane difference. Oil Analyst Fadel Gheif focused blame on the “possible” disruption of the Middle East oil supply. Others say Wall Street has taken over the market to control supply and demand. No one, it seems, is willing to tell us why the pricing of gasoline isn’t more even across the map. Is it because of the location of refineries? No, because gas sold near the Ferndale refinery is notoriously high-priced. Is it cheaper near transportation hubs? No, because prices in heavily populated rail centers are typically somewhat higher. Is it local gas taxes? No, there aren’t any yet but soon might be. Then what’s going on? I asked myself, how is Spokane different from Seattle? It’s higher

and drier, but that shouldn’t count for anything. It’s a smaller market so, according to economies of scale, Seattle should have cheaper gas. No help there. Could Spokane’s abundant sunshine have something to do with it? Not likely. But what about the political difference? Spokane is staunchly conservative while Seattle is Democratic to the core. Could politics really have anything to do with it? It seemed worth looking into since money and politics are so intertwined that stepping on one causes the other to complain. I started by pulling up the Washington Post’s votingresults map that paints Democrat and Republican strongholds in blue and red. Some states are covered with one color while others, like Washington, are divided. Then I accessed the GasBuddy.com site that lists current average gas prices for all states and about 165 cities. When the average of 10 totally Blue states was compared with 10 all-Red states, Blue state drivers spent $3.835 per gallon against $3.547 for Red states for a $0.288 per gallon advantage for the Reds. In no case was Blue-state gas less expensive than Red. Interesting, but the results fall so far short of a scientific study that they must be taken as nothing more than ... interesting. Next, I looked at split-states, like Washington where the west votes Democratic and the east is Republican. My question was, do gas-pricing comparisons for Republican vs. Democratic cities in states other than Washington behave as they do for Seattle and Spokane? Working with the GasBuddy data for cities, I paired seven random Blue cities with seven random Red cities.

(Only seven states on the red-blue map seemed conveniently split to allow this.) Blue cities are shown first, followed by Reds: WA: Seattle $3.749 vs. Spokane $3.336 IL: Chicago $4.105 vs. Peoria $3.857 TX: Austin $3.620 vs. El Paso $3.419 CA: San Francisco $4.205 vs. Fresno $4.074 IA: Cedar Rapids $3.750 vs. Sioux City $$3.701 AZ: Phoenix $3.619 vs. Flagstaff $3.622 NY: New York City $4.052 vs. Syracuse $3.933 Even considering oddball Arizona, Blue cities are charged 16.5 cents more per gallon than Reds. That difference isn’t as profound as the 28.8 cents per gallon when comparing entire states but the rough consistency makes one wonder. Has politics intruded on gas pricing or have I stumbled upon an amazing run of coincidence? I leave it to you. See what you come up with using sources of your own choosing. Granted, it was a struggle to stay objective here. A friend once accused me of leaning so far left that I walk in counterclockwise circles, By that measure, Big Oil leans so far right that it orbits clockwise. The politically neutral question becomes, is gas pricing immune to ideological differences? The type of results shown above could only happen with petroleum products because petroleum is the only industry that’s vertically integrated from subterranean oil pools to the gas in your tank. When all that falls within one business plan, look out! I have to admit that linking power politics with selective gas pricing is a pretty wild idea. On the other hand, Big Oil does have the clout and tools to do just that, if it wants to. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

Gold’s Gyms in Arlington, Marysville close

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Gold’s Gym locations at Arlington and Marysville had their workouts interrupted on Feb. 19 when crews of movers arrived, with Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies in tow, to

remove the facilities’ equipment per a writ of execution. “It was a civil action in which legal action was taken by another agency,” said Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office. “We were asked to be there to provide

security.” According to documents from Snohomish County Superior Court, Whidbey Island Bank won a judgment in December of last year against Mike Moody and M&M Fitness, the owners of the Gold’s Gyms in Arlington and Marysville, who had defaulted on a

loan worth more than $1 million and had put up the equipment at the two locations’ facilities as collateral. While no one answered the phone at either the Gold’s Gym at 3131 Smokey Point Dr. in Arlington or the one at 1052 State Ave. in Marysville, Gold’s Gym Vice President of Communications Dave Reiseman issued a statement to the press that Gold’s Gym had just been made aware that same day of the closings of the independently owned and operated facilities at the

Arlington and Marysville locations. Although Reiseman was quick to note that Gold’s Gym still has nine longestablished facilities in the Seattle area whose operations will be unaffected by the Arlington and Marysville locations closing until further notice, commenters on the Arlington Gold’s Gym Facebook page had already begun sharing non-Gold’s Gym fitness options, amidst their criticisms of the closures, before that site was subsequently shut down.

As near as Francis Kyle can tell, he and his fellow members of the Gold’s Gym in Marysville are facing the possibilities of either a civil suit in small claims court at the Snohomish County Courthouse, or hoping for a class action suit in which they can take part. “I really, really hope to not go the small claims route,” Kyle said. “I’m just wanting my remaining balance of $250 or so back in my thin wallet. This is a new experience for me. I want it over with cleanly and quickly.”

Robert Tristan McCoy June 28, 1952 — February 14, 2013

Moving crews remove the equipment from the Gold’s Gym located at 1052 State Ave. in Marysville.

Robert Tristan McCoy of Chewelah, WA passed away unexpectedly on February 14, 2013. He was born June 28, 1952 in Boston, Massachusetts to Robert McCoy Jr. and June McCoy. He was preceded in death by his father, mother and stepfather; Manuel Mundeschank. He is survived by his wife of 28 years Lisa M. McCoy and his mother-in-law Donna LeBaron of Chewelah, WA. He is also survived by his three sons; Cord McCoy and wife Jessica McCoy of Vilseck, GE; Marshall McCoy and wife Marisa McCoy of Marysville, WA

and Will McCoy of Irvine, CA and two granddaughters Eva and Emmelia McCoy of Marysville, WA. Robert Tristan McCoy was raised in Lake Tahoe, CA during most of his childhood. He graduated from Truckee High School

in Truckee, CA in 1969. He became a logger and eventually started a successful logging company in Arlington, WA. He was known for being passionate and proud of his profession, never apologetic to voice his views; especially to those who did not share them. His family mattered most to him. He deeply loved his wife, children and grandchildren more than anything. All of his friends and family can attest to his unique humor which could be worrisome and extremely entertaining at the same time.

Soroptimists, PTA Council host forum on combating sex trafficking

MARYSVILLE — As part of their mission to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world. Soroptimist International of Marysville is working to educate Snohomish County about the sexual exploitation of youth, from child sex trafficking to the coercion, abuse and exploitation of children and teens. “Sex trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal indus-

try in the world,” said Renae James, president of Soroptimist International of Marysville. “We need to let our community know about it, because knowledge is power, and because trafficking is happening right here in Snohomish County.” Soroptimist International of Marysville and the Marysville PTA Council are again partnering to conduct a community awareness event on combating

sex trafficking from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School auditorium, located at 5611 108th St. NE. “The goal of this event is to have teenagers and their parents attend and learn together how our young people are falling prey to these traffickers, and how to see the warning signs,” said James, who noted that the evening’s speakers are set to include

members of law enforcement, counselors and possibly even victims of trafficking, each of whom possess firsthand, local knowledge of this problem. “Perpetrators prey on the most weak among us, primarily women and children, for profit and gain. They lure victims into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery.” The evening’s program will also include a short video, followed by a ques-

tion-and-answer session with the speakers. While this event is primarily targeted toward teenagers and their parents, James hopes to see other adults in the community in attendance as well, to raise awareness of how this problem impacts not only young people and their families, but also their surrounding community as a whole.

Lady Eagles top Todd Beamer, 50-42 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

PUYALLUP — The Arlington girls basketball team topped Todd Beamer on Friday, Feb. 22, to qualify them for the state quarterfinal game against Gonzaga Prep on Thursday, Feb. 28, at the Tacoma Dome. “I think this is fantastic,” said head coach Joe Marsh. “This has been a great year and that win was fantastic. We’ve been a little bit delirious with excitement.” The Lady Eagles have not advanced to the state quarterfinals since 2001, and haven’t won a state championship since 1982. “I think we are focusing on having a really good week of practice, like we did last week, and being ready to play our best basketball,” said Marsh. “We feel like if we play well, we can play anybody. These are all good teams.” The team beat Todd Beamer High School on Friday, Feb. 22, with a 50-42 final score. Arlington led from the start, scoring 13 points in the first quarter to the Titans’ nine points. They held onto the lead, going into halftime with a score of 24-15. The Titans kept pace with the Eagles in the third quarter and actually scored more points than Arlington in the fourth quarter, but thanks to their previous lead and strong defense, the game ended with Arlington ahead. “Our defense was great again,” said Marsh. “We rebounded really well. We were relentless with the rebounds. We executed offensively really well.” Freshman post Jayla Russ scored 15 points, Winter Brown scored 10 points, Taylor Graham scored eight points, Lindsay Brown and Krista Showalter scored six points each, Lyndsay

Leatherman scored four points and Emma Janousek scored one point. “Krista Showalter, our point guard, had a great game,” said Marsh. “She handled their pressure really well. They were a physical team and she was able to handle it. So was Winter Brown. She did a great job. Jayla Russ is a ninth grader who

was starting in place of Ronnie [Ladines] and she scored 15 points, just awesome.” Getting to the state championships has been a goal for the Eagles all year, especially considering that the team has six seniors who are giving See Eagles, Page 9

Eagles pummel Bell Prep, head to Tacoma Dome BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

The Eagles’ Terry Dawn had 29 points in the Feb. 23 boys regional game against Bellarmine Prep at Puyallup High School.

PUYALLUP — The Eagles boys basketball team is headed to the state quarterfinal game at the Tacoma Dome on Thursday, Feb. 28, after beating Bellarmine Prep, 58-47, on Saturday, Feb. 23. “This is absolutely wonderful,” said head coach Nick Brown. “We have some players on the team whose parents were state champions back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and it’s great that their kids have made it this far.” This will be the first time in more than 40 years that the Arlington boys basketball team competes in the state quarterfinals. “No team has made it to the Tacoma Dome, because the last time one of our teams got this far, the Tacoma Dome hadn’t been built yet,” said Brown. The game against Bellermine Prep proved that the Eagles can play competitively with top teams. They started out with a lead, scoring 19 points in the first quarter to Bell Prep’s 12, and outscored them by that much in the second quarter, giving them a 39-20 advantage going into halftime. The third quarter was a little shock

as Bellermine Prep scored 15 points to Arlington’s six, cutting their lead in half. But the Eagles held on in the fourth quarter to outpace them again and finish the game 11 points ahead with a 58-47 score, sending them on to the Tacoma Dome. “We didn’t know if we could do this at the start of the year,” said Brown. “It’s surreal to say the least.” Terry Dawn led the team with 29 points and 11 rebounds. “Pretty much Terry Dawn kept making his shots. He had six 3-pointers in the first half. He played phenomenally,” said Brown. “We played incredible defense and the coaching staff did a wonderful job of getting a game plan in place.” Kaleb Bryson scored 14 points, Bradey Brummel scored six points, Noah Jones scored five points, AJ Passalaqua scored three points and Gavin Smoke scored one point. “It was a really good game, really fun,” said Brown. “We’re feeling confident and happy. This is a great group of boys and it’s great that the girls made it too. We are representing Arlington in a positive way.” The Eagles face Richland at the Tacoma Dome on Thursday, Feb. 28, at 12:15 p.m.

the year, and now we are thinking ‘Let’s go win a state championship,’” said Marsh. “I think it’s great for the Arlington community that both the boys and girls teams are going to state. We want to

Genealogical Society receives donation of microfilm reader, printer Case, who noted that the machine itself would have cost approximately $25,000 for the Society to purchase, not including the roughly $4,000 worth of microfilm that Hyatt had bought himself. “That amount of money is beyond the means of the Society, so it was really a thrill to receive this gift. The microfilm collection includes historical material for Washington, Oregon, California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Missouri and more.” Case noted that the films in the Stillaguamish Valley

Genealogical Society’s Library contain more than 400 rare books on colonial America and New England, including pioneer histories and early land vital records. She added that the Society’s Library is an affiliate library with the Family History Center in Salt Lake City, “which means when material is ordered, it is sent to our library to be viewed.” The Society’s membership costs are $15 for one year or $150 for a lifetime, and members receive access to genealogy websites, which they can log onto at the Library or on their home computers. The Society’s free hourlong educational presentations have likewise grown enough to necessitate mov-

ing them to the Arlington Free Methodist Church on Highland Drive, on the second Tuesday of each month at 1 p.m. The March 12 presentation will be delivered by area author Richard Logg Sr. and is expected to include anecdotes about people from the greater Arlington community, including local farmer Dan Grewe. Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society Education Chair Steve Baylor will likewise teach a beginning genealogy class in April, for just $10 for four classes. Prospective participants may sign up for the class through the Arlington City Hall. “Since the Society is a nonprofit organization,

donations are always needed to pay the rent, phone and utilities, and those donations are tax deductible,” Case said. “Volunteers are also needed to help with the Society’s Library. Donations of paper reams for the computer are always helpful. The Society would even like to have old pictures of local schools, and the annuals of public and private schools in the area as well.” The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society is even publishing a book about the early schools in the Stillaguamish area for $25 apiece, which will be available in March. Please call the Society’s Library at 360-435-4838 for more information.

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society credited the generosity of a longtime Darrington native with providing the community a resource for research. Although Arvol Hyatt currently resides in Arlington, he grew up in Darrington and researched his own family’s roots in the Darrington area with the same Minolta microfilm reader and printer, complete with its own special cabinet, that he’s recently donated

to the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society’s Library at 215 S. French Ave. in Arlington, next to the old Arlington High School building. Shirley Case, publicity chair for the Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society, explained that patrons of the Society’s Library may use the microfilm reader and printer to trace their own family histories, without needing to make trips to Marysville to copy images. “The Society is very grateful to Mr. Hyatt for his generous donation,” said

They are also excited to start selling supplies for ponds. “Within the first four months we had to expand,” said Wheeler. “We started on the one side and took down the wall to make one big space.” The most popular plants that they see people interested in growing are tomatoes and avocados. “The community has embraced us like no other,” Jutte-Curtis said. “We’ve got a lot of ideas for things in motion.” As a store on State Avenue in downtown Marysville, Green Acres has been involved in the Strawberry Festival and Merrysville for the Holidays parades. “During the Strawberry Festival we made burgers for parade watchers, and

MARYSVILLE — The ownership team of Green Acres Indoor Garden & Hydroponics supply store are hoping to tell the people of Marysville that anyone can garden, and they are here to help. Stephanie Jutte-Curtis, Adam Curtis and Holly Wheeler are co-owners of the store, which opened in April of last year, with store manager Courtney Wilson completing the team. “I took horticulture in school but didn’t really know that’s what I wanted to do,” said Jutte-Curtis, who emphasized all the benefits of indoor gardening and growing your own vegetables. “There is no wrong way to garden, you just have to get started. Plus it’s fun.” Indoor gardening has grown in popularity since the recent demand for organically grown food. “Growing organically is really important. It’s food that’s going on your table

and if you grow it, you know exactly where it came from,” said Wheeler. “A lot of people are steering away from hormones. I think that’s why natural food stores like Trader Joe’s are booming.” “It’s scary because you hear all the time about them recalling 11,000 bags of lettuce, for example, and usually you don’t hear about the recall until after the food has already been eaten,” said Wilson. Wheeler noted that another benefit of gardening is that it helps you keep a healthy lifestyle and eat more vegetables. “We all have kids, and when you get kids out there growing things, they want to eat more vegetables because they grew them on their own,” said Wheeler. Another reason why indoor gardening is gaining popularity is because it helps extend the growing season for regions, like the Pacific Northwest, that do not get a lot of sun. “It can be really hard in this area to grow stuff,” said
