ARLINGTON — City of Arlington officials and construction contractors partnered with public outreach specialists to answer questions from the residents and businesses that will be affected by the final phase of the 67th Avenue project this spring and summer. City Public Works Manager Jim Kelly joined City Council members and Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum on March 13 to address how the

remaining work would close the last gap in Centennial Trail, add drainage through two new culverts for Portage and Prairie creeks, increase the traffic mobility currently afforded by the road, and complement the aesthetic charms of 67th Avenue as the southern entrance to Arlington. “Our goal is that it should match the look of what we did to Olympic Avenue a few years back,” said Kelly, who credited Washington State Transportation Improvement Board grants with making this project

possible. “We’ll be starting construction in April, and working on the culverts this summer to take care of the flooding issues around 67th. By December, we’ll finally have Centennial Trail completed. It’s set to be a oneyear project, so we’re asking people to bear with us, because the end results will be well worth it.” Kelly acknowledged that the construction schedule of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, would increase traffic congestion SEE PROJECT, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — Many area residents might not realize that Arlington has its own kangaroo farm, but Jacob Lykken came all the way from Bothell to pay a second visit to its animals on March 17, along with several of his fellow Boy Scouts, and to say that he’d recommend taking a tour for yourself would be an understatement. “It was awesome,” Lykken said. “Best time ever. I used to think the lemurs were monkeys, but I remembered from my last visit that they weren’t. I liked being able to pet the kangaroos and feed the llamas and see the different types of birds, and I even got to pet a tortoise.” “It’s well worth the 45-minute drive,” said Olivia Nelson, the mother of another Scout in Lykken’s tour group that day.

Dave Mohler, construction manager for KBA, promised that he would remain a full-time presence on site to work with businesses by helping to provide them with clear signage and dependable construction times that they will be able to build their schedules around. “We want to make sure people are still finding these workplaces,” Mohler said. “We’ll do our best to maintain accessways, and work with residents on a one-on-one basis.” Mohler echoed Kelly by explaining that the completed trail and refurbished sidewalks should provide greater visibility and safety, especially in heavy precipitation and during winter months. Tolbert likewise agreed with Kelly that the 67th Avenue project will be at least as complex as

“We want to make sure people are still finding these workplaces. We’ll do our best to maintain accessways , and work with residents on a one-on-one basis” Dave Mohler Construction Manager, KBA the renovations of Olympic Avenue, but also pledged not only to maintain services such as waste disposal and deliveries to the affected areas of the street during their construction times, but also to keep the city’s citizens abreast of the latest updates instantly through social media. Elizabeth Faulkner, an associate with EnviroIssues, pointed to www.67thAve. org as a one-stop shop for information on the 67th Avenue project. “Once construction starts, it’ll basically turn into a constantly updated blog,” Faulkner said. “We’ll not only be posting dates, times and locations for construction, but also detour routes and listings for the 24-hour hotline and email. You can even submit comments directly to the

site. As much as we can’t control, the one thing that we can control is the timely release of good information.” Connie Hoge is an equestrian who lives in town and is thrilled to see the impending completion of Centennial Trail, although she did request that more parking spaces for horse trailers be installed, while Kathy Wishart came to the open house because Prairie Creek runs through her backyard. “A big concern I have is that there’s already a drop to my driveway,” Wishart said. “I haven’t seen what the new grade will be in the blueprints, so I’m worried about parking in a hole, but everyone has been very good about keeping me informed about the progress of this project.”

“My kids have seen kangaroos before at the Woodland Park Zoo, but you couldn’t get nearly this close,” said fellow parent Justin Schmidt. Ray and Joey Strom’s Outback Kangaroo Farm on State Route 530 in Arlington lets families get hands-on contact with many of their exotic animals because their collection started out simply as their own pets. “We were at an ostrich convention 18 years ago when we met this one woman who had a baby joey,” Ray Strom said. “Of course, my wife’s name is Joey, so she fell in love with it and went home with it.” “It felt like destiny, since people had always said to me, ‘Oh you know a baby kangaroo is named a joey too, right?’” Joey Strom said. “That was the start of finding a passion we never knew we had before. Kangaroos are so gentle and affectionate and loving that it hit us both the same way.” Since moving from Edmonds to Arlington in

1998, the Strom’s menagerie has grown from a kangaroo, a dozen wallabies, herds of llamas and alpacas, and an assortment of ostriches, goats, chickens, parrots, dogs and cats to also include tortoises, pheasants, peacocks, rabbits and ringtailed lemurs, not to mention more kangaroos, wallabies and wallaroos. “We’ve sold wallabies, wallaroos and kangaroos for pets,” said Ray Strom, who encourages younger tour group members to hug his kangaroo jack, which Strom gets to stand up to person-height by holding food above his head. “It’s so much fun to see people smile when they get to touch and pet the animals. We only became a business because so many people stopped by wanting to see the animals. It was never anything we planned on doing. It just came about. We’ve been retired for years, so this is still a hobby for us. The admission fees just help us pay to feed and care for the animals.” “Our visitors start smiling as soon as they first see the animals, and they’ll smile all the way through their tours,” Joey Strom

said. “If we can help them forget about the troubles of the world for a while, it makes it all worthwhile.” In order to sell and exhibit exotic animals, the Stroms’ Outback Kangaroo Farm is governed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and subjected to regular and random inspections to retain their license. “Private people can’t own big cats, gators or primates,” Ray Strom said. “We got grandfathered in on the primates with our lemurs, and we’re affiliated with the Zoological Association of America. Our inspector is the same as the inspector for the Woodland Park Zoo.” “When you go to a lot of zoos, they have these beautiful enclosures for the animals, but you can hardly see them sometimes,” Joey Strom said. “Here, kids get to interact with the animals, to pet them and feed them, which helps them learn to love them and care for them.” The Outback Kangaroo Farm is located at 10030 State Route 530 in Arlington.

School District names Arlington Legion fetes superintendent finalists 94th birthday kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The search for the Marysville School District’s new superintendent is heading into its homestretch, and as he has throughout the process, MSD Board President Chris Nation is encouraging community members to take part in the selection. The six candidates whom the Marysville School District Board of Directors has selected to move forward to the first round of preliminary interviews on Saturday, March 23, are Dr. Becky Berg, Dr. Carl Bruner, Dr. Tony Byrd, Michelle Curry, Dr. Dennis Haddock and Jon Holmen. “Each interview should take about an hour and 10 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes,” Nation said. “If we start at 8 a.m., we should be able to wrap it up that Saturday by 5 p.m. If members of the public want to attend and submit feedback to the Board in writing, we’d only ask that they do so for all six candidates, since that’s only fair, but they can drop in

to observe them at any time during the day.” According to Nation, the Marysville School Board will ask questions of the candidates in the MSD Service Center Board room, and narrow the selection from six semifinalists to three finalists that evening, based on those interviews, so that the three days of finalist candidates’ interviews and visits to the district — from Monday, March 25, through Wednesday, March 27 — will devote one full day to each candidate. Marysville School District staff, parents, students and community members will be able to meet each day’s candidate during open forums scheduled at 11 a.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., again in the MSD Service Center Board room. In the wake of the applicants’ files being screened on March 15, Nation reiterated the Marysville School District’s commitment to conducting its superintendent selection process as transparently as possible.

“This is not just the decision of the Board, but of the community as a whole,” Nation said. “We wanted to make sure that the community and school district staff were involved in this process, because the new superintendent will be a leader to both, hopefully for years to come. Through observation and feedback, we hope the community will help us choose a superintendent who fits the needs of our community, because if that person doesn’t understand our relationships, especially with the Tulalip Tribes, they might not get done what’s needed. Everyone has to be on board for this.” The Marysville School District Service Center Board room is located at 4220 80th St. NE. The full schedule for the candidate visitations is posted on the MSD website at www.msvl. k12.wa.us. For more information on the search process, contact Jodi Runyon by phone at 360-653-0800 or via email at jodi_runyon@ msvl.k12.wa.us.

ARLINGTON — Arlington American Legion Post 76 celebrated the Legion’s 94th birthday on March 16 by looking not only to its organization’s founding in the wake of World War I in 1919, but also to its future, in the form of the Legion’s support of the Boy Scouts of America since its founding. Post 76 Cmdr. Christian Raboin called up two recently appointed Eagle Scouts, Blake DiPietro and Kevin Emery, whose service projects as part of local Boy Scouts of America Troop 92 were deemed beneficial to the community as a whole. “We greatly appreciate that you’ve helped us get ourselves out there into the community,” said DiPietro, who spearheaded the construction of eight picnic tables in the Country Charm area. “I’ve had experiences that I wouldn’t have had without this program, and they’ve made me a better man and a better citizen of the United States.” “The Boy Scouts have

bership in Post 76 to Floyd Tanner, an Air Force veteran from 1950-54, and a certificate of appreciation to Marv Jackson, the son of a World War II veteran, for their efforts on behalf of the post. “I’m happy to help cook dinners here and donate my time to the Legion’s events,” Jackson said. “This is a good organization that does a lot of work.”

Easter Egg Hunts offer family fun

f you’re looking for some great family fun, the cities of Arlington and Marysville are teaming up with local sponsors and volunteers to present their annual Easter Egg Hunts on Saturday, March 30. Marysville’s Easter Egg Hunt, which features more than 10,000 plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes, runs from 10-11 a.m., at Jennings Memorial Park, located at 6915 Armar Road. The Easter Egg Hunt will be separated by age groups and each child may collect up to eight eggs each. In Arlington, the ever-popular annual Easter Egg Hunt begins at 11 a.m., at the south end of the Arlington Municipal Airport. There will be thousands of eggs for the children to collect and prizes will be offered in various age categories for children as old as 12 years. The Easter Bunny is slated to make appearances at both of the Easter Eggs Hunts. If you can’t make either of the Easter Egg Hunts slated for March 30, or if you just want another opportunity for some family fun, don’t miss the Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt in

Arlington on March 23. The event is for kids of all ages and the $5 cost per person goes to the American Cancer Society.

Bad air days affect all of us

linics are busy treating flu and the common cold these days — 21 days with treatment, three weeks without. Or longer. Puget Sound’s prolonged temperature inversions trap pollution that makes eyes water, noses stuffy and throats raw. It’s an especially bad season for sinuses. Being a walking-talking air pollution monitor, I have a good idea about what’s behind it. Any slight drift of something different on the breeze can choke up my breathing apparatus. My sensitivity is such that, should I need a new job, I could work as a Transportation Safety Authority as a baggage sniffer. I escape socked-in lowlands by hanging out on mountain tops with ski buddies where the rarified air is clear and clean besides offering stunning views across the Cascades. But, alas, each day among the peak ends with a return to lung-choking lowland murk. My only consolation is that people in other places have it much worse. China burns half the world’s coal production and for that they pay a horrendous price. Pollution in Chinese cities can top twenty-five times the U.S. legal limit for airborne particulates. Chinese pollution won’t get any better after we send them eighteen trainloads of coal per day. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if the Chinese kept their pollution at home but with air currents always on the move, China’s problem becomes our problem. Satellite photos show plumes of Chinese smog hundreds of miles wide streaming eastward toward us. Tests of local air have proved that a significant part of the pollution we breathe originates in China. Air pollution isn’t a local problem, it is global. On one hand I accept the globalization of air pollution while on the other hand my irritated respiratory tract yells that it’s not only a local

issue but very personal. It turns out that atmospheric pollution causes more than temporary breathing issues. Studies have positively linked air pollution to the occurrence of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cancer, damage to the immune system and neurological, reproductive and developmental problems. So while attacking air pollution on a global scale we have to deal with its effects locally. Consider this: While water from the tap is safe to drink because it’s been filtered and treated, bad air becomes breathable only if we wear fancy face-masks. It’s becoming a bigger issue year by year as we watch health effects of air pollution climb while swallowing industrial propaganda that alternative energies are ineffective and impractical. Meanwhile, Puget Sound’s forty annual days of bad air grow to eighty and we begin to accept respiratory distress as part of the normal human condition. Or we could demand that makers of gaseous garbage clean up their act. We try to stay healthy locally by washing our hands. We try to avoid infecting others when we’re diseased. We demand purity from what we eat and drink. Yet we allow big time energy-consumers to poison our air, flooding the atmosphere with bad stuff. And we bear part of the guilt through our willing dependence on polluting devices. At least thirty studies being conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health check links between health issues and air quality pollution. Big NIEH projects look for broad connections to blood

pressure and narrower focus on conditions such as sleep-disordered breathing. With most families, friends and neighbors suffering one or both of those, air pollution becomes a very local issue. Air pollution begins with combustion, call it burning. No matter what the fuel or burning device, gaseous products of combustion invade the air we breathe. Vehicle engines, power generation, slash-and-burn agriculture, wild fires, backyard barbecues, cigarettes, home heating, cooking, portable power tools, fireworks, jet exhausts, ships at sea, factories — whatever the source, so long as combustion is involved, it contributes to the problem. Graphs showing the growth of air pollution tell me that bad air days will become more numerous. That means more medical appointments and more absenteeism at work, leading to higher medical costs and decreased production. That moves the discussion from a public health issue to economics. China is finding that out. Since the past is done, gone and not to be re-lived, any cure will lie in what we choose to do next. The condo I now own is a perfect example of what not to do. Its furnace is far from state of the art efficiency. Its roof(s) don’t allow capture of solar energy. The plumbing requires heating a whole lot of pipe before delivering hot water to distant faucets. Its decorative fireplace displays pretty flames while ducting all the heat up the chimney. Mea culpa. We’ve heard national leaders tell us that we go to war to make the world safe for our children and our children’s children ... etc. Better yet, how about a war against processes that make air unhealthy for children everywhere? The enemy in that war is combustion. Comments may be sent to robertgraef@comcast.net.

VFW Post 2100 hosts Open House

EVERETT — This year’s St. Patrick’s Day at Veterans of Foreign Wars Old Guard Post 2100 included historic exhibits, tributes to fallen comrades-in-arms, distribution of information on programs to support veterans and their families, and even an authentic Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage. Unfortunately for the VFW, what the event didn’t have was precisely what it was intended to bring to the table, which was more veterans and their families, as well as more civilians whom the veterans would have been able to educate about the needs of America’s servicemen and women. VFW Post 2100 State Service Officer Rene Taculad hails from Marysville and served in the U.S. Navy for 23 years, from 1966-89, taking him through what he deemed “the Vietnam years,” just shy of the first

Persian Gulf war. “We offer not only the camaraderie of veterans, but also help them to get the benefits they’re due,” said Taculad, before echoing concerns expressed by Post 2100 Cmdr. Donald Wischmann. “I wish more people had shown up today. Post 2100 has more than 800 members, but only a couple of hundred of those are active.” “About 700 of [our members] are folks who served in World War II and Korea, and within about 10 years, we’re not going to be doing much as a post if we can’t replenish that membership,” Wischmann said, summing up the recruitment drive angle of the March 17 open house. Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Juarez is so active that he started “Operation Desert Comfort” last October, after returning from Afghanistan that September, and he’s enlisted the aid of the Turning Point Church in Marysville in sending care packages to

“We offer not only the camaraderie of veterans, but also help them to get the benefits they’re due.” Rene Taculad VFW Post 2100 State Service Officer American military members serving overseas. “I know the significance of those boxes and the happiness they can bring, from making you feel like you’re getting special treatment,” said Juarez, a hospital corpsman currently stationed at Naval Station Everett. “Even before I left Afghanistan, I was thinking about what I could do to help those I was leaving behind. My first shipment, I thought I’d be able to assemble five boxes, but it grew from word of mouth to 14, and they were all shipped on donated funds.” Donors can make their checks payable to Turning Point Church “Operation Desert Comfort,” and Juarez may be reached by phone at 661-246-5846 or via email at calidoc1988@

yahoo.com. Bill Morse, community service officer of VFW Post 1561 in Arlington, shared Taculad’s disappointment in the event’s turnout, and agreed with Wischmann about the vital importance of the VFW to veterans. “I’d particularly hoped to see more civilians here, because they need to see what we’re doing,” Morse said. “We honor our veterans when they pass away, but we also honor them when they need our help, by helping them as much as we possibly can, since the government is hardly doing anything for them at this point.” “Without as many active members, we can’t have as much of a voice in Washington, D.C.,” Wischmann said.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Dr. Steve Gowen almost became a doctor of human medicine, but for the owner of the recently opened

Arlington Companion Pet Clinic, it would have been his second choice, if veterinary medicine hadn’t been available. “I like people, but I just like animals more,” said

Gowen, a 1994 graduate of Washington State University who found ways to balance his interests in biology and zoology in a single profession. “There’s actually five times the number of medi-

cal schools as veterinary schools, though, so even if everyone’s going in with a 4.0 from school, you’ve got to be lucky to get in.” Gowen has been practicing veterinary medicine in Snohomish County since 1998, and while his latest move to Suite 6 at 3131 Smokey Point Dr. in Arlington has been a bit of an adjustment, simply in terms of getting the facility ready, he expects to have his spaces fully remodeled by the end of March. In the meantime, Gowen has been working with his office manager and brother Paul, as well as his two veterinary assistants, to serve 15 pet patients in his first 14 days.

“Usually, a practice like this would see 15 in one day, but we’re still building our clientele and growing through word of mouth,” Gowen said. “We can already handle 85 percent of our patients’ needs now, except for things like major surgery, which we’re still waiting for the proper vents to be installed, but I’ve already removed a minor tumor.” Gowen’s two examination rooms intentionally leave a lot of space for larger animals, while a third examination room will soon be used to weigh animals. Work is well underway on a surgical area and a tub to clean wounds. “We’ve got a kennel sys-

tem set up so that patients who are contagious will be placed in isolation, away from the other animals,” Gowen said. In addition to the office space, the backdoor of Gowen’s office leads out to a grassy area where pets can be walked. “If I hadn’t gone into veterinary medicine, I probably would have gone into pediatrics or geriatric medicine,” Gowen said. “What I love about working with animals is that they’re so unconditional in their affections.” The Arlington Companion Pet Clinic is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays.

ARLINGTON — Eagles track and field hosted their first meet of the season, the 10th annual Chuck Randall Relays, and took the top team spots for both boys and girls on Saturday, March 16, at John C. Larson Stadium. Eight schools competed in the event and the Arlington boys team took first place with a team score of 125.93. The girls team took first place with a team score of 94.94. “The team performed very well for our first competition of the year despite the weather,” said AHS coach Judd Hunter. The Arlington team is pretty evenly split between older and younger competitors, which helps bring the team to a higher level of success. “The younger athletes can learn from the veterans,” said Hunter. This year’s group has a number of successful veterans, including former state level contenders Dan Boyden, Jared Alskog, Skylor Elgarico, Marissa Swegle, Lyndsay Leatherman, Jessica Ludwig, Diamond Martin and McKenzie Corpron. According to Hunter, there are also some freshmen who have shown promise during the first few weeks of practice — distance runner Emma Janousek and sprinter Anthony Dill. He also noted that the group of state level athletes as well as CJ Taylor and Shelton Rose are

leading in their events. Senior Skylor Elgarico took first place in the boys 100-meter dash with a time of 11.59. Senior Diamond Martin took first place in the girls 100-meter dash with a time of 13.58. Senior Jameson Wren took first place in the boys 1,600-meter with a final time of 4:46.47. Junior Jared Alskog took first place in the boys 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.96. Sophomore Jessica Ludwig took first place in the girls 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.30. The girls 4x100-meter relay team of McKenzie Corpron, Martin, Sheltyn Rose and Darby Winterer took first place with a time of 52.32. The boys 4x800-meter relay team of Ivan Baez, AJ Passalaqua, Pieter Andrews and Wren took first place with a time of 8:58.31. Arlington also had several first-place finishes in field events. Senior Dan Boyden took first place in shot put with a distance of 51-2.25. Junior Lyndsey Leatherman took first place in girls shot put with a distance of 37-4. Boyden also took first in the boys discus throw, with a final distance of 166-10. Leatherman took first in the girls javelin throw with a distance of 131-02. Senior Marissa Swegle took first in the girls discus throw with a distance

Cougars take fifth at AHS meet BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Lakewood track and field team has kicked off its 2013 season with the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor, and most recently the Chuck Randall Relays at Arlington High School, where the boys and girls teams both took fifth place. There were eight schools competing in the event, and the Cougar boys scored 65.97 as a team, while the girls scored 63.92 as a team.

Lakewood’s Preston Davis competes in the distance medley on March 16.

“We placed fifth and we competed really well,” said head coach Jeff Sowards. “We have a great group of young kids, about 120 kids total on the team this year, and we have a lot of solid performers.” The 2013 season has brought a number of promising newcomers to the Cougars track and field team. “Right now our best 100-meter sprinter is a freshman, and leadership like that will really encourage returners,” said Sowards. “Josh Dickey ran the 100 meters at the Island Jamboree, and he’s just trying to figure out how to sprint, but he came out with a 12.02 and I think he can run a low 11 seconds before the end of the year.” Some of the returning athletes have competed at a state level and are continuing their impressive performances. “Senior Ariel Jensen has one of the top times in the 2A state right now in the 800,” said Sowards. “Senior Justin Peterson was the state champion last year and won the high jump on Saturday at six feet.” Junior Mitchell Darrah took third place in the boys 1,600-meter race with a final time of 4:57.94. Junior Andrew Stich took second place in the boys 110-meter hurdles with a final time of 16.26, while Ryan Whitehead took 10th place with a final time of 17.95.

“Andrew Stich is going to be one of the best hurdlers in the state,” said Sowards. “He set a personal record at the Chuck Randall Relays with a 16.26. He has trained hard and pushed himself.” The girls 4x100-meter relay team of Hunter Clark, Stephanie Smith, Taylor Storms and Callanan took second place with a time of 54.15. The boys distance medley team of Preston Davis, Drew Cabales, Alex Cooper and Douglas Davis took second place with a time of 11:20.52. The girls distance medley team of Ariel Jensen, Chloe McCann, Darby Throndsen and Rachel Sowards took third place with a time of 14:16.8. “David Otte is a leader in boys shot put and Tristan Nelson is a state returner for discus,” said Sowards. “Taylor Studzinski will probably do really well at pole vault this year, and Skylar Cannon will be a leader in javelin.” “We are really happy with the kids’ attitudes and their willingness to compete,” said Sowards. “We have a meet on Thursday against Archbishop Murphy. Our schools are often rivals, and it’s a dual meet, so that will be fun to see if we can do the same thing that football did in the fall and beat them.” The Cougars host Archbishop Murphy at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 21.

of 105-03. Second place finishers include the boys 4x100-meter relay team of Elgarico, Jayden Jira, Albert Abes and Max Gray took second place with a time of 45.28. The boys 4x400-meter relay team of Anthony Dill, Alskog, Nicholas Taylor and Gray with a time of 3:35.93. The girls 4x400-meter relay team of Martin, Rose, Winterer and Emma Janousek took second place with a time of 4:19.44. The girls 4x800-meter relay team of Rachael Fleming, CJ Taylor, Channing Hudson and Shanelle Shirey took second place with a time of 10:44.38. Swegle took second place in the girls shot put with a distance of 36-11.75 and Leatherman took second place in the girls discus with a distance of 97-09. Hugh Duffy took second place in the boys javelin with a distance of 147-07 and Trent Sarver took second place in the boys high jump with a height of 5-10. Elgarico took second place in the boys long jump with a distance of 19-09. Ludwig took second place in the girls triple jump with a final distance of 33-10.50. The team is preparing for the upcoming meet against Lake Stevens and Glacier Peak at Lake Stevens High School on Thursday, March 21, at 3:30 p.m.

SR 529 bridge opens ahead of schedule

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The State Route 529 Ebey Slough Bridge reopened one day early, and opened all four lanes of traffic to the public for the first time at 10:32 a.m. on Sunday, March 10.

While the previously open two lanes on the east side of the bridge were closed on schedule on Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation had projected keeping the bridge closed until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 11.

The weekend closure allowed bridge traffic to go from one lane in each direction to two lanes each for northbound and southbound traffic, after the concrete barrier separating the west and east lanes of the bridge was removed, and the pavement was re-striped.

Joe Rooney, chief inspector for the project with WSDOT, reported to Kris Olsen of WSDOT Communications that the weekend went well. “The work went very smoothly,” Olsen said. “We’re very happy with the results, and we hope drivers are as well. The bridge officially reopened to traffic at 10:32 a.m. on Sunday, 18 and a half hours earlier than scheduled. Good weather and a good

“The look is intended to be a reminder of old-fashioned brick and cobblestone, to fit in with the city’s plans for the waterfront,” said Olsen, who noted that the project has some landscaping left to complete. “We’ll also put down a final layer of asphalt later this spring, in late April or May, since it requires that the ground temperature be 50 degrees or warmer. We’ll need another weekend closure for that.”

construction plan played roles in the early completion of the work.” Besides the removal of the barrier and the re-striping of the highway, crews also installed a stamped concrete sidewalk across SR 529, just south of its intersection with First Street. The red-tinted stamped concrete design was requested by the city of Marysville when WSDOT first began designing the project.

Stilly Duck Dash rings in 25th year kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Great Stilly Duck Dash will be ringing in its 25th anniversary this year, and 2013 Duck Dash Chair Cindy Huleatt was joined by Arlington Rotary President Linda Byrnes in commending the community for keeping the annual Fourth of

July fundraiser going strong, at the same time that they encouraged ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce members to continue supporting the event. “I moved here 25 years ago, when my son was just a tiny baby,” Huleatt said during the Chamber’s March 12 luncheon. “He’s 26 years old now. Don Richards was our first duck.”

Huleatt also recalled how the Duck Dash has expanded from 5,059 rubber ducks at its outset in 1989, to roughly 13,000 now, through which the Rotary aims to award $7,500 in prizes and $65,000 in funds raised that will be reinvested in the Arlington community. “Those of you who have supported us over the years have given not just your money, but your time,” Huleatt said. “It’s been weird and fun, with never a dull moment. Dave Duskin even gave up his finger for the Duck Dash in 1990, when it got caught between a rope and the boat.” Of the nearly $1 million in revenue that the Duck Dash has raised in that time, Huleatt noted that about $30,000 went to Arlington Kids’ Kloset alone, which she added could buy 800 new shoes, while $25,000 went to the local Boy Scout troop, much of it to purchase supplies for shelters that Rotary members helped the Scouts build. “This year, we’re looking to make it extra special, so our goal is to raise $25,000 for 25 years,” said Huleatt, who explained that the Rotary not only wants to be able to maintain funding for all of its regular annual recipients, but also raise enough money to re-site Haller Park on slightly higher ground, with a nicer playground structure, so that it’s not just sitting in the flood zone. “We’re still committed to funding groups like the Boys & Girls Club for their community room and a bigger gym. We don’t want to quit funding anyone else as a result of improving Haller Park.” Byrnes elaborated that a new wrinkle of this year’s Duck Dash will be the additional appreciation shown to sponsors who will receive recognition on a sponsors’ wall for the new Haller Park, although much like the eventual design of the improved park itself, she avoided offering specifics on how exactly the sponsors’ wall might look. Byrnes emphasized that private individuals would be eligible for named recognition, in addition to businesses. “On your tables today, you’ll also notice that there are dirty ducks,” Byrnes said of the rubber ducks that had been floated down the river as part of previous years’ Duck Dashes. “It reminds me of the used baseballs that wind up as memorabilia. If you’re a Duck Dash sponsor, go ahead and take one of those ducks with you.” 625024
