ARLINGTON — Arlington’s Easter egg hunt saw throngs of families descend upon the grassy fields adjacent to the Stillaguamish Athletic Club on the morning of Saturday, March 30, as the Arlington Fire Department returned to broadcast the shotgun start for the age-divided egg-hunting areas.

City of Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez estimated that 500 attendees of all ages managed to pack the fields that day, which led to the customarily brief durations of the egg hunts, in spite of younger and older children each being given their own egg-hunting areas, and generous amounts of space and eggs being set aside for each of the egg-hunting areas.

“We couldn’t coordinate this many people without all of our volunteers,” said Lopez, who thanked members of not only the Arlington Fire Department, but also Cascade Valley Hospital & Clinics, Arlington United Church and Youth Dynamics.

“We’ve been setting up since 8 a.m. today, and we have people who come from Marysville and Stanwood to tell us that we offer the best Easter egg hunt. It’s a great kickoff for our spring and summer events, and it lets the members of our community meet their neighbors.”

Jennifer Egger, community relations coordinator for Cascade Valley, singled out the “egg marshals” for particular praise.

Police tape surrounds a white two-door vehicle in the Arlington Haggen parking lot after a body was found inside on Thursday, March 28.

ARLINGTON — Arlington Police Department officials cordoned off the north section of the Arlington Haggen parking lot shortly before 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 28, after discovering a vehicle containing a body.

Mount Vernon police arrested a 28-year-old man in connection with the discovery, on suspicion of seconddegree manslaughter, according to law enforcement.

The suspect was booked into Skagit County Jail on Thursday night.

Police were called to a home on Anderson Road in Mount Vernon on Monday, March 25, to investigate a call about gunfire. A resident of the home

later discovered blood and called the police.

“We detained a 28-year-old man in Mount Vernon. This individual lived at the Anderson Road home,” said MVPD Lt. Chris Cammock, on Friday, March 29. “We believe that the suspect and the victim were acquaintances and that they were together at the time of the incident in Mount Vernon. With the evidence that we’ve collected, we believe that a shooting occurred.”

Mount Vernon police contacted the Arlington Police Department regarding a vehicle that was tied to the possible shooting at Anderson Road.

The Arlington Easter egg hunt has long since become an annual family tradition for, from left, Grant, Jackson and Alyssa Klein.

“It can be an overwhelming event for the kids,” Egger said on March 30. “It’s very chaotic once it actually starts. The egg marshals distribute the eggs on the fields to make sure that every kid leaves with at least a few eggs in their basket.

It’s been exciting to partner with the city on this for the past few years, and I always love seeing the kids in their Easter outfits, especially when they’re reacting to the Easter Bunny. And could we have asked for better weather than we got today?”

Arlington City Council member Ken Klein still remembers appearing in an Arlington Times story on the annual Easter egg hunt back when he was 3 or 4 years old, so it was always a given that this event would become a family tradition for his own children.

“It gives the kids an opportunity to run around and meet new friends,” Klein said. “I see all these smiles, and it’s not raining,

and Jannelly Zepeda and Kai Janssen in the 4-6 category, each of whom scored a $20 gift card to Walmart and a chocolate bunny.

Kathleen and Michael Ochoa celebrated their first Easter in Arlington this year, since they’d still been living in California last year.

“I love that they split it up by age, so there’s no pushing or shoving between the kids,” Kathleen Ochoa said.

“We worked for Disney in California, and the Easter egg hunts up here are a lot less expensive.”

For Gloria Meyer, this Arlington Easter egg hunt marked yet another holiday without her husband, Lt. Andrew Meyer, who deployed as a member of the USS Nimitz crew earlier that same morning.

“I’m used to it, since it’s part of the job, and I’m proud of him,” Meyer said, as her 11-year-old daughter Eva helped feed Easter candy to the Meyers’ other daughter, 19-month-old Zuri. “We’ve lived in the Arlington area for the past two years and I love it. It’s so communityoriented.”

cle was covered with a tarp and traffic cones to protect the identity of the deceased.

The body was found in the passenger seat of the vehicle.

“What we are here to do now is just confirm that it’s the vehicle and then transport it out of here to a Washington State Patrol site where we are going to process it,” said Cammock.

The vehicle was still being processed by Washington State Patrol crime-scene investigators and MVPD detectives on April 1.

The identity of the victim has not been released and the cause of death is still under investigation, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s office.

Arlington PD found it in the lot and called us.”

which is the best part,” he laughed.

Smokey Point mom Laci Reeves has brought her kids to the Arlington Easter egg hunt for at least three years in a row, and she echoed both Klein and Egger’s compliments of the event.

“There’s a lot of room and space here for the kids to move around,” Reeves said.

“Plus, they’ve got it set up so that everyone gets some eggs.”

Sean and Amie Brown have brought their own children from Marysville to the past four Arlington Easter egg hunts.

“The first year we came here, we’d heard about it while we were out and about that day, so we weren’t sure that we were going to make it in time for the start,” Amie Brown said. “We won a prize basket that year, though, so we knew we were coming back,” she laughed. “This is the best one out of all the Easter egg hunts we’ve been to.”

This year’s prize-winners included Maesyn Glowaski and Austin Nyberg in the 0-3 years old age category,

Marysville/Tulalip Relay events kick off April 6

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Before the Marysville/Tulalip Relay For Life returns to Asbery Field on June 29-30, Relay teams and organizers are offering the community a cavalcade of activities and opportunities to contribute, starting with the “Team Captain Experience” event on Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stillaguamish Senior Center.

“The American Cancer Society is passionate about giving tools and information to our Relay teams to help them be successful,” said Stephani Earling, community relationship manager for the Great West Division of the ACS. “This event is designed specifically for Relay team captains, and will include powerful information about the latest in the fight against cancer, tips to make the biggest personal impact you can, networking opportunities, food, fun and more.”

Marysville/Tulalip Relay team captains will be joined at the event by those from Arlington, Stanwood, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens and Camano Island who will be treated to a speakers’ panel on the best practices for getting

their teams and communities motivated. Earling advised the team captains to RSVP at least a couple of days before the event by logging onto www.relayrumble. org/westernwa.

Earling explained that such measures, to provide an additional push to get folks interested and involved, tie into this year’s Relay theme of “Relay Big,” which is likewise reflected in the Marysville/Tulalip Relay organizers’ goals of recruiting 80 teams to raise $200,000 this year.

“The ACS does a great job of furnishing participants with the tools and resources to conduct successful Relays, but I’ve already seen great energy from Marysville and Tulalip,” Earling said. “These communities’ levels of awareness about cancer research, and the steps that are being taken to fight back, gives me a lot of hope.

They’re on an awesome trajectory.”

The Relay activities on Saturday, May 18, aim to keep that momentum going with “Bark For Life,” “Paint the Town Purple” and “Brewin’ Up the Cure.” For the third year, “Bark For Life” will also return to Asbery Field, from 9 a.m. to noon, for a fee of $20

per dog.

“We’re anticipating a great turnout,” Earling said. “Last year, we had about 35 dogs and their owners attend, and we raised more than $4,000.”

Those who are interested in attending the event, starting a team or making a donation can go to http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/ RelayForLife/BFLFY12GW?fr_ id=46074&pg=entry, or go to www.relayforlife.org and search for “Marysville.”

Earling expressed equal optimism about “Paint the Town Purple,” which gives businesses in the downtown Marysville area the opportunity to decorate their File Photo storefronts, in the week leading up to “Bark For Life,” to show Indigo Cabe only needed two minutes to dress her Boxer, Roxie, in a ballerina support for the Bark and Relay outfit for the best-dressed contest portion of last year’s ‘Bark For Life.’

“These events are an awesome to their customers, which will be nesses who raise the most money way for these area businesses to displayed in their windows. All and have the best decorations. come together for the common the money raised will go toward In the meantime, Marysville/ cause of bringing awareness to the Marysville/Tulalip Relay.”

Tax dollars at work

drive 144 miles round trip to ski at Stevens Pass. Or on better days I bum a ride with someone else but the distance is the same. We take Highway 9 southward to where we pick up U.S. 2 that carries us all the way to the pass. Given Highway 2’s grim record of fatal accidents, each trip is a little like Russian roulette but hey, if I craved safety would I be skiing?

I wouldn’t be skiing at all if there weren’t roads to take me to the snow. It takes road construction, maintenance, snow-plowing, police, bridges, traffic control, and whatever to get me there and back.

Every citizen with an income gets to share in that expense as they ante up taxes to the Washington Department of Transportation.

Add the state’s $1.7 billion in federal highway funds for this biennium alone.

It’s hard to pin down the total cost of the double-lane 72 mile stretch because of the history of highway construction and maintenance that continues to be used, dating all the way back to 1925.

And the work goes on. Figures are available for a new per-lane cost of a mile of blacktop highway but they escalate whenever roads carve into mountainous terrain. Bridges and cut-and-fills in the Cascade Mountains send flat land per-mile estimates through the roof.

About three-quarters of it is

two-lane. A stretch of four-lane plus passing or turning lanes help to run the total cost up. Little addons like the Sultan roundabout and chain-up areas have to be considered. A good starting number for figuring current value of the highway is the DOT’s average of $4.5 million for a mile of single lane of highway construction, barring complications.

If my 144-mile round trip were based on that single lane estimate, I use $648 million worth of highway to go skiing. But the 20 bridges between Lake Stevens and Stevens Pass that vary from glorified culvert lids to soaring bridges would cost somewhere between a hundred thousand and a hundred million dollars at today’s prices. So double the $648 million to $1.3 billion for a somewhat realistic value to my ski route.

I use it toll-free! That $1.3 billion trumps the entire history of Power Ball wins. It’s almost as large as the annual Gross Domestic Product of Belize. I can drive on past Stevens Pass to access all the rest of the roads and highways from sea to shining sea, all con-

structed for my (and others’) use.

How’s that for tax dollars at work?

Voters don’t tend to think that way. All they see is government chipping away at disposable income. They think in terms of taxes making a slick new car unaffordable but what sense does it make to own a smooth-riding car if it doesn’t have decent roads to travel on?

Good roads are expensive.

Seattle’s Alaskan Way project is estimated at $180 million to $267 million per mile, depending on which segment we’re talking about.

The fix for I-5 in Everett between SR 525 and US 2 penciled out at a modest $15 million per mile. And $91.3 million is allocated for widening the Mukilteo Speedway.

As with children, the cost of bringing new roads and bridges into the world is only the beginning. They all have to be maintained in a timely manner. And when they aren’t, delayed maintenance proves over and over again that there is nothing as expensive as procrastination. Roads require crack sealing, de-icing, signwashing, striping, applied herbicides and mowing of shoulders.

Sometimes it doesn’t get done. I once got so irritated with algaecoated signs along Marysville’s 83rd Avenue that I washed them myself.

Not everyone has equal reason to feel my sense of ownership of

April 3, 2013

roads. It’s easy and natural for me because I travel a bit. It’s also natural that shut-ins who use only local streets might balk at paying taxes to fund far-flung roads they may never see.

I don’t make a lot of money so, aside from gas tax, I probably don’t pay my fair share in taxes. I use roads for a mix of necessity and pleasure while truckers, tradesmen, buses, emergency services and farmers absolutely need them. The system might not be entirely fair but it works.

The reason it works is that everyone is obliged to support it. The shut-in benefits because caregivers, visitors and emergency vehicles are within reach. The same goes for armchair travelers who ride along with KCTS Channel 9’s Northwest Traveler or Rick Steves on road trips. The fact that some benefit more than others is a poor argument against a system that, in many ways, serves everyone.

Here’s a thought: The system of support for roads and the use of them could be a model for universal health care. Though I’m not yet a heavy user of medical services I hope to see my taxes supporting a national health care system that serves everyone, regardless of their circumstance, the same way our highway system serves us all.

Walk MS helps those fighting the disease

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Marysville’s Samantha Love knows all too well the devastating, yet deceptively invisible, impact that multiple sclerosis can have on someone’s life, since it ended her military career.

Love served four years in the Army, including time on the ground in Afghanistan, but after experiencing a range of symptoms — among them tingling in her limbs, random periods of shaking, headaches and round-the-clock fatigue — she was diagnosed with MS in September of 2010, just before her 21st birthday, and honorably discharged in July of 2011.

Love and her friend and fellow MS sufferer, 57-yearold Linda Goldberg, are leading the “All You Need Is Love ... and a Cure” team for this year’s Walk MS fundraiser in Snohomish County, whose threemile walk route will start and finish at the Tulalip Amphitheatre on Saturday, April 14. Their team has raised nearly $13,000 toward their $15,000 goal as of April 1, making them one of the top fundraising

teams for this year’s Walk MS in Snohomish County, but Love’s medical expenses underscore the degree of financial need facing MS patients.

“I wasn’t able to start collecting disability until November of last year,” Love said. “Until then, all of my medical bills were being covered by my own insurance and out-of-pocket co-pay. Medical bills last year ran me $6,000 outof-pocket. The injections I have to take would have cost me $14,000 without insurance.”

While Goldberg suffers from progressive MS, Love’s MS has been diagnosed as relapsing and remitting, which poses its own problems.

“One week, I might be fine, but not the next,” Love said. “My legs will go out at random, but sometimes, I don’t need a cane at all, and that can change in an instant. People start to think you’re a hypochondriac, because they’ll look at you and say, ‘Oh, but you look so good,’ but you never know when the MS will strike, or when it will stop.”

While Love is forced to

worry about her own symptoms, she also expressed concern for the long-term plight of progressive MS patients such as Goldberg.

“It’s awful to see Linda getting worse, especially after all that she’s done for me,” Love said. “I’m really doing this for her, before it’s too late, because the average person with MS tends to die seven years sooner than those without it.”

For more information on Love and Goldberg’s “All You Need Is Love ... and a Cure” team, log onto their website at http://main. nationalmssociety.org/goto/ AllYouNeedIsLove.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. It usually affects people between the ages of 20-50, with varied and unpredictable symptoms including numbness, loss of balance, vision problems and paralysis. There is no cure for MS, but the Walk MS fundraisers aim to continue improving the treatments that help people live with and manage the disease.

The three-mile Walk MS in Snohomish County is set to kick off at 10 a.m. on

Rotary offers speech contest ARLINGTON — Local high school students can win one of two $1,000 prizes in the “Four-Way Test Speech Contest” through Rotary District 5050. Students in grades 8-12 living in Arlington, Lakewood or Darrington can apply under the Rotary Club of Arlington. Public, private, home-schooled and exchange students are encouraged to participate.

Two $1,000 prizes will be awarded to the top two contestants. Both prize winners must be available and able to travel to Vancouver, B.C., between May 30 and June 2 to deliver their speeches.

The contest is based on the Four-Way Test, a set of values and ethical standards that Rotarians strive to follow. This test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks, “Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the

truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships?

Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

Contestants may choose from a list of topics to develop a five- to 10-minute speech, and deliver a five- to seven-minute speech on the chosen topic.

Speeches must address the four values of the FourWay Test.

Applications are available from A.J. Chase at the Rotary Club of Arlington, or online at www.rotaryclubofrlington.com. The entry form includes guidelines, rules and recommendations for the speech, and a copy of the Four-Way Test.

Applications must be received by 11:59 p.m.

Friday, April 5, and should be submitted to CloverdaleRotaract@ gmail.com.

Community forums address hospital affiliation plans Partnerships and consolidations among health care systems have been occurring across the country and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Health care systems are forming alliances to combine their strengths, focus on improving patient care, access capital and reduce the costs of health

of commissioners of the Cascade Valley, Island and Skagit Valley hospitals unanimously approved sending out requests for proposals to the MultiCare Health System, PeaceHealth, Providence-Swedish, Virginia Mason Medical Center and University of Washington Medicine.

ARLINGTON — The boards of commissioners of three public hospitals in Snohomish and Skagit counties are conducting community forums to hear from the public what they think about proposals to affiliate with a larger health care system.

Recently, the boards

care through the streamlining of services.

The Cascade Valley, Island and Skagit Valley hospitals are seeking a partnership with a larger health care system to enhance their patient care, extend their access to specialty services and augment clinical quality, continue to recruit and

retain physicians and other providers, seek efficiencies and cost containment opportunities, ensure longterm economic viability, and prepare for the rigors of health care reform and budget reductions at the state and federal levels.

The overarching goal of the process is to retain and

expand excellence in local health care for the people served by the three hospitals.

The Arlington community forum is scheduled for, Wednesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. in the Rainier Conference Room at Cascade Valley Hospital, located at 330 S. Stillaguamish Ave.

Klein retires after 36 years at Arlington Safeway kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Bill Klein has been a fixture of the Arlington Safeway for as long as many of his customers have been alive, and on his final day on the job on Friday, March 29, Kathy McPherson recalled how Klein had gone above and beyond for her thennewborn daughter Melissa.

“She was born two months premature, and weighed three pounds, six ounces,” Kathy said of Melissa, who’s now 31 years old.

“Bill weighed her on the store’s scales for me.”

Klein started work at the Arlington Safeway at its previous location on Jan. 12, 1977, only a month before he turned 19 years old, and even on his last day, he continued to cater to his customers, assisting them with the self-checkout machines while returning the hearty handshakes and hugs that nearly all of them offered him on his last day as a store employee.

“The store just won’t be the same without you,” said Brian Mindt, who clapped Klein on the back affectionately after Klein had helped Mindt scan his purchases through the checkout.

“You’ve been a pillar of the community,” said pharmacist James Mensik, whose turn of phrase would later be independently repeated by Klein’s boss, Arlington Safeway Store Manager Rick Blewett. “Take some time to travel and have fun with your family.”

Kathy McPherson was echoed by fellow shopper Joe Rickard in describing Klein as “a great guy who’s always smiling,” while Melissa McPherson was so overwhelmed by the news of Klein’s retirement that she shed a few tears while sharing yet another hug with him, while Rob Parrish, who first met Klein at the former Arlington Safeway location, likewise agreed with Rickard that Klein is “just the nicest guy.”

“He’s the face of Safeway,” Parrish said.

“He’s been here all my life, ever since I was a kid,” said Rickard, now 45 years old. “The world needs more people like him.”

“I’ve never seen him without a smile,” Kathy McPherson said.

“You would never know if he was having a crummy day.”

In his 36 years at the Arlington Safeway, Klein has managed both the frozen foods and the bread sections, the latter of which he’s still in charge of, while also serving as a mentor, a trainer, a repair person and a self-described Jack of all trades. In his own 20 years at the Arlington Safeway, Blewett has come to regard Klein as an indispensable member of his team.

“As the bread manager alone, he’s the best in the field in the entire Everett district, which includes 16 stores,” Blewett said.

“I put him on the self-checkout because all the customers gravitate toward him. He always makes time for people, and if there’s a problem, he’ll fix it.

We’ve got a great backup for him,

but they’ll have some big shoes to fill, because Bill is an awesome man. We’re really going to miss him.”

Not only has Blewett seen all of Klein’s children grow up to start families of their own, but Blewett will also still have two Kleins as employees — Bill’s uncle, Gerald Klein, and Gerald’s daughter, Kelly Tabert — after Bill’s retirement.

“All these Kleins have a great work ethic,” Blewett said. “There’s just something about being a Klein, I guess.”

With literally hundreds of Arlington Safeway shoppers taking time to bid him fond farewells, Bill Klein was left with precious little time to reflect on a career that’s spanned the better part of four decades, but he still took care to tell Yolanda Larsen, “Give your grand-baby a Safeway hug for me,” and to express his appreciation to the steady stream of customers who showed their support for him that day.

“You guys made my job,” Klein said, as he consoled a crying Melissa McPherson. “My customers have always been my people, and I’ve always enjoyed my people. That’s what’s kept me here.”

As far as Klein is concerned, the recipe for successful customer service is no secret at all.

“Take care of them,” Klein said.

“Be a friend to them. Give them good service. Be a part of their lives. As I’ve gotten to know these folks, I’ve seen them through some rough roads, especially

Although Bill Klein is already busy enough with personal projects that he joked, “I don’t know how I’ve found the time to do my job,” he expects to pitch in on behalf of his son, Arlington City Council member Ken Klein,

in his campaign to get elected to John Koster’s soon-to-be-open seat on the Snohomish County Council. In the meantime, Bill promised his people that he would never become a stranger to the Arlington Safeway.

“I’ve been very blessed to have such good people as my customers and coworkers,” Bill Klein said. “They were my job.”

Freshman Gracie Castaneda took first place in the girls 3,200-meter race at a home meet on March 28.

ARLINGTON — The Eagles track and field teams took first place over Mount Vernon during an Arlington meet on Thursday, March 28.

Eagle athletes took first place in 31 of the 36 events, and took other top spots to put the team more than 100 points ahead of the Bulldogs.

“I know for a fact that Emma Janousek had a huge day for us,” said AHS coach Mike Shierk. “She got a personal record in the girls 1,600-meters with a 5:28, which puts her at the top of the Wesco league. Then she went on to run a 2.30 in the 800-meters. Those are very, very good times for this time of year.”

Janousek is 12th overall in the Kingco/Wesco bidistrict, and has the rare opportunity to be the first AHS athlete

to go to state three times as a freshman. Janousek competed in the state cross country meet and helped the Eagles take second place in the girls state basketball tournament.

“As far as we know, there are no other athletes in school history who have gone to state in all three sports as freshmen,” said Shierk.

The boys team had a successful meet as well.

“Jameson Wren had a great race in the 1,000-meters, with a 4.46,” said Shierk.

“Kaleb Bryson finished the boys 800-meters with a 2.06.”

“The interesting thing about that meet was that, in a lot of these races that kids were in, we had a lot of competition with ourselves — competition that we didn’t seem to have from Mount Vernon. When you are racing against another

team there is all that adrenaline that keeps you up. The kids had that challenge to go out and compete against each other and I’m proud of their effort.”

Field events were also a success for the Eagles.

“Lyndsay Leatherman is our top thrower, and she won the javelin, shot put

and discus. She did a great job,” said Shierk. “Marissa Swegle PR’d in discus as well and had a great day. Jon Rabourn PR’d in the javelin and did a good job in the boys four-by-four.”

The Eagles will compete at a meet hosted by Monroe on Thursday, April 11.

Eagles softball tops Tomahawks, 7-5

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Eagles got quite the head start in the game against Marysville-Pilchuck on Wednesday, March 27, but the Tomahawks gave them a run for their money in the last inning of the game which the Eagles won 7-5.

The Eagles scored a run in the first, three in the third and three in the sixth, with the Tomahawks scoring only one run in the fourth inning. With Hayley Fields striking out 12 batters and going 2-4 with two RBIs, it was looking like an easy win for Arlington.

That is until the seventh inning when MarysvillePilchuck rallied a bit of a comeback.

“Haley Fritz scored a solo home run in the fourth inning and Jordyn Nickolson hit a 3-run double in the seventh,” said M-P head coach Aaron Zachry.

“She leads the league in doubles right now. We were down 7-1 and ended up scoring four runs in the seventh inning. We had a lead-off single, a walk and a

single to load the bases. My girls made adjustments at the plate and started playing off the rise ball.”

Putting in a comeback against the undefeated 4A team said something about the softball mentality of the Tomahawks. “Hayley Fields had 12 strikeouts in that game so that helped them out a lot, but we made some adjustments and scored, and that makes a difference.”

Jordon Willard, a freshman pitcher for the Tommies, pitched four innings and proved to be a benefit to the team. “She’s been getting innings right from the beginning,” said Zachry. “She keeps hitters off balance and she’s handling herself really well.”

Fritz finished out the pitching for the last three innings, as the Eagles grew accustomed to Willard’s pitches. “Once she gets once or twice through the lineup, they get adjusted to her offspeed pitches,” said Zachry.

“We brought in Haley Fritz and she started out throwing a change and got Hayden Fields out.”

Although the Tomahawks

caught up in the seventh, Fields got her third out in the inning and closed the door on the Marysville comeback.

The Tomahawks went on to top cross-town rivals Marysville Getchell on Friday, March 29, 13-1.

Casey Zachry went to 2-4 and hit a grand slam to finish the game with five RBIs and three runs. Fritz was 3-4 and Nickolson was 3-4.

Arlington went on to compete in their first league match-up at Monroe on Friday, March 29. The game was close throughout, with a deadlock at 6-6 drawing it out to 12 innings. A final run by the Bearcats gave them the lead and dealt the Eagles their first loss of the season.

Batting highlights include Katelyn McDonald being 3-6, with two doubles.

The Tomahawks, whose record is now 1-0 league and 4-4 overall, face Oak Harbor at home at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 9.

The Eagles, whose record is now 0-1 league and 5-1 overall, face Snohomish away at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 9.

Taylor entertains troops

ARLINGTON — Although Arlington’s Jesse Taylor already had his horizons broadened by becoming the “Singing Cowboy” of Hawaii for two years, and recording a country-western album of his songs in Nashville last fall, he still felt a bit out of his depth entertaining U.S. Navy sailors from USS John C. Stennis and Carrier Strike Group Three during a port call to the United Arab Emirates in March.

“I’m just a nervous country boy who’s not used to these sorts of things,” said Taylor, who nonetheless felt comfortable performing for a crowd of more than 500, during his album release party at the Skookum Brewery in Arlington, on March 23.

“I’m kind of ignorant about the wider world, and of the things that I did know about that part of the world, none of them were good, but Dubai is one of the cleanest, safest places I’ve ever been in. Everything there was so spotless that it almost looked fake.”

At the same time that Taylor was seeing such globally renowned sights as the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, he found himself making a connection with one of the sailors that hit unexpectedly close to home.

“One of the guys from the ship who was at the concert was from Arlington,” Taylor said. “His family even showed up for the show. He’s retiring soon, so we’ve already made plans to go fishing together.

Talk about a small world.”

Taylor’s tour of the Stennis and meetings with its other crew members also deepened his preexisting appreciation for the men and women who serve in the American military.

“Everybody knows that what they go through is tough, but when you actually see it for yourself, you gain a whole new level of respect for them,” Taylor said. “They’ll deploy for eight or nine months at a stretch, come back for a month or so, just long enough to move their families, and then deploy again. It’s no joke. They’re protecting us from the bad guys with one of the biggest, baddest ships in the world, and it was so cool to see how it worked.”

Just as Taylor enjoyed the novelty of seeing how aircraft elevators and aircraft catapults work, so too did he recognize that his concert afforded the sailors the novelty of a brief break from their 24/7 responsibilities on deployment.

“They got to escape from their jobs, get a little wild and have a good time,” Taylor

said. “Even if it was only for a while, they could pretend they were out in the country.”

Following his March 23 album release party in Arlington, which reunited Taylor with childhood best friends and even grade school teachers, as well as his March 29 performance at the Red Sky Bar & Grill in Marysville, Taylor’s next big gig looks to be the Clovis

Rodeo in California on April 22, although he’s expressed a strong interest in making the stage of this year’s Stillaguamish Festival of the River.

Taylor’s debut studio album, “Out Here in the Country,” was officially released on March 26, and is available through Amazon, iTunes and Taylor’s website at www.JesseTaylorMusic.com.
