EcoFest offers hands-on education BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Eagle Creek Elementary’s EcoFest put its students in an environmental state of mind on Friday, April 19, just in time for the weekend prior to Earth Day, with a series of rotating activities presented and supervised by a host of community groups. While the Arlington Garden Club taught kindergarteners such as Patricia Ellen and Kyler Allen how to plant seeds for crops like lettuce, Shian Rashid of the WSU Snohomish County Extension Beach Watchers taught first-graders how to create crayon rubbings of sea creatures native to the Puget Sound region. “This way, they’ll recognize the marine life and know its name,” Rashid said as the children colored their handmade scrapbooks. “Then they can go to the beach and say, ‘I saw that animal in class.’ Puget Sound has such colorful marine life that it’s exciting to see, with things you wouldn’t believe.” While one group of fifth-graders used strings of beads to create their own bookmarks representing the life cycles of salmon, another bunch of fifthgraders was busy learning the anatomy of salmon through a painting exercise, while Jesse Scott of the Evergreen Fly Fishing Club answered their quesSEE ECOFEST, PAGE 2

Heavy equipment operator Matt Loukes excavates to perform underground line work on 67th Avenue NE near the 76 gas station on April 22.

ARLINGTON — With construction well underway on 67th Avenue NE during the week starting April 15, Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield warned motorists to keep road safety and time management in mind when driving the stretch of 67th Avenue NE between the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum to the south, and the 76 gas station and convenience store to the north. “Construction crews are going to be working heavily in that area for the next week to two weeks at the least,” Banfield said. “The first week, they moved the sign for the Pioneer

Museum back from the road. This week and the next, almost all of their work is going to be underground on new water systems, new fire hydrants and new storm water drainage.” To that end, Banfield explained that both lanes of 67th Avenue NE have shifted to the east side of the road between Cemetery Road to the south and 211th Place NE to the north. “Folks who don’t always drive on 67th Avenue might be a little bit surprised by that,” Banfield said. “On occasion, that stretch of road will be reduced to one-lane traffic so commuters who choose to use that route should be aware that they’ll need to factor in additional travel time.

tions with diagrams. “Hopefully, these kids will grow up with an appreciation for our natural resources,” said Scott, who lamented the diminished numbers of salmon since his own youth. “These fish need to be protected. Of course, not all of these kids will grow up to be biologists, but if what we do here and now can influence them to plant a tree or get involved in some way, it will have been worth it. I’m 80 years old now. Maybe in 70 years, you’ll be up here talking to the next generation of kids,” he told a young girl who had been listening to him attentively.

Granite Falls High School “Shop Girls” showed off their solar-powered vehicle, and were even able to start it up in spite of the day’s dark skies and dismal downpour. Although Sandy Shelton is quick to deflect credit for her first year of coordinating the EcoFest by noting that she benefited from the procedures that had already been documented and compiled in binders before the event was passed onto her, various officials from both Eagle Creek Elementary and the Arlington School District as a whole were effusive in their praise for her role. “It’s the parents, teachers and volunteer presenters who came together to share their knowledge and passion with the children,” said Shelton, who cited the praise that Seattle-based presenters Triangle Associates received

from several teachers for how well their talks synched up with the curriculum. “All told, we had about 10 different organizations represented by 27 presenters, with a total of 40 volunteers overall. I could have coordinated the schedule a bit better with our teachers, but they were relaxed enough to switch things around so that they worked.” Shelton hopes that the hands-on lessons provided by EcoFest will influence the students’ outlooks and help set habits that they’ll carry into adulthood. “I want them to come away from this with a knowledge of their surroundings and the power of the choices that they make, to help or hinder the Earth,” Shelton said. “We have the chance to plant seeds for the future through them.”

street right away to repair anything,” Banfield said. “We have had to do that in the past, and it is the worst nightmare which is why we’re taking care of all these lines at the same time right now.” In the meantime, Banfield hastened to remind motorists and pedestrians alike that just because the side of the street is torn up, it doesn’t mean that the businesses and other establishments along that stretch of road have closed up shop. “The merchants in that area remain open and they would love to see you

walk through their doors,” Banfield said. “In addition to a number of coffee shops, Hubb’s Pizza and the 76 gas station are still serving customers, and I know the one storage place on that block is still open.” To keep the community informed throughout construction, the city has set up a project website at www.67thAve.org and will provide regular updates through the city’s e-newsletter. The public can also email questions to 67thAve@ArlingtonWA.gov or call the project information line at 360-594-2425.

The roundabout will not only get cars through there faster, it’ll get them through more safely.” The open house will be held from 5-6 p.m. at the Marysville Getchell High School campus, and a formal, limited-access hearing will follow. Presided over by a judge, the hearing will provide an opportunity for nearby property owners and interested citizens to comment on limiting access to properties immediately next to the planned roundabout. The testimony will be confined to limited-access issues. Residents who want to offer thoughts on the

roundabout may submit written comments. The meeting site is accessible to persons with disabilities. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be arranged with advance notice by calling 206-7703500.

increased risk of illness from toxic chemicals when we try to improve our health by eating seafood. Washington’s fish consumption rate should be at least as protective as Oregon’s, which has been raised to 175 grams, or about one fish meal per day. Plenty of scientific evidence supports an increase to that amount or more. Treaty tribes have been trying for years to get Ecology to update the fish consumption rate. Our health and our treaty rights depend on our food being safe to eat. Work to raise the rate finally began last year, but about halfway through the process Ecology did an about-face and progress skidded to a halt. The cause? A phone call from industry repre-

sentatives who said revising the rate would be bad for our economy because it would increase the cost of doing business. We’re trying to get the process back on track, and remain hopeful that Gov. Inslee and new Ecology Director Maia Bellon can help make it happen. We’re also working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to form a Government Leadership Group to move forward. It’s not going to be easy, though. We’re up against some powerful interests. Opponents claim federal water quality standards in place here already protect all of us. But how can that be, if we already know the fish consumption rate is wrong? Their answer is that existing rules can include a larger fish consumption rate as long as those who eat more fish accept a higher risk of getting cancer. Imagine that. What they’re saying is that most people in Washington would be protected by a rate of risk that one in one million people will get cancer

from toxins in water. But for anybody who eats more than one seafood meal per month, including Indians, Asians and Pacific Islanders, that risk rate can be as high as one in 10,000. That’s unacceptable. Current state law requires cancer risk rates to protect everyone at the rate of one in a million. That standard should remain unchanged. There’s no question that seafood is good for us, but it won’t be that way for long if pollution is allowed to contaminate the waters it comes from. It is unjust for Indian people and others who consume a lot of seafood to be at greater risk for getting cancer than everyone else. Developing a more realistic fish consumption rate and keeping risk standards in place to protect our health is a matter of justice — social justice and environmental justice — for everyone who lives here. None of us deserves anything less. Billy Frank Jr. is the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

edical experts say eating a Mediterranean diet that’s high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and fish is one of the best things we can do to reduce our risk of heart attack and stroke. Eating more fish and other seafood is a healthy choice as long as those foods don’t come from polluted waters. We think the state of Washington needs to make sure our waters stay clean. Washington uses one of the lowest fish consumption rates in the country — about 6.5 grams a day, or one 8-ounce fish meal a month — to set rules for how much pollution that industry can put in our waters. That rate is supposed to protect us from more than 100 toxins that can make us sick or kill us, but it was set more than 20 years ago. Even the state Department of Ecology recognizes that the inaccurate rate does not protect most of us who live in Washington, a state with one of the largest populations of seafood consumers in the country. We should not face an

Pancake breakfast raises funds for Getchell firefighters BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Getchell Firefighters Association’s annual pancake breakfast took on a collateral duty on Saturday, April 20, as the firefighters and emergency medical technicians of Getchell Fire

Station 68 raised funds not only for themselves, but also for their fellow firefighters and EMTs in West, Texas, in the wake of the deadly fertilizer plant explosion on Wednesday, April 17. “We were up late the night before deciding how to do this,” said Getchell

Firefighters Association Public Information Officer Nat Burnett, who explained that the GFA would be matching up to $1,000 of the dollars donated by breakfast attendees. “We’re still determining the exact organizations that we want this routed through, but we

know that we want it to go to the guys who were on the scene and fought the blaze, as well as the families of those whose perished doing their duty that day.” Mitch Pearson, the firefighter and EMT who coordinated this year’s breakfast fundraiser, estimated that the more than 1,200 attendees between 7 a.m. and noon contributed at least $1,500 in exchange for freshly cooked pancakes, eggs and sausages, plus milk and other beverages, served up by a dozen firefighters and 17 applicants for their upcoming academy. “That money usually gets

devoted to something big during the year, like supplies or training,” said fellow firefighter/EMT Zack Smith. “I don’t believe that purchase has been determined for this year, but every contribution from the community helps since our budgets are down just like everyone else’s.” Smith and Pearson agreed that the community has remained commendably supportive of this annual event, even in the midst of this year’s dreary downpour. “I was expecting a lot less people due to the weather,” said Pearson, who reported that one breakfast attendee has shown up for pancakes

and eggs five years in a row. Pearson thanked National Foods for supplying the eggs, Silvana Meats for donating all the sausage links and Fred Meyer for providing the pancake batter. The Getchell Firefighters Association bought the beverages from Costco with their own money. “All things told, it went pretty smoothly,” said Pearson, who coordinated the event for the first time this year. Getchell Fire Station 68 is located at 8424 99th Ave. NE in Arlington. If you have questions, please call Fire Station 68 at 360-659-6400.

After careful consideration, the decision has been made to cancel the event this year in order to meet budget constraints.

Last year, approximately 5,000 people attended the event. The base had also cancelled its festival in 2011, due to heightened security posture required of all Navy installations and units.

Prom dress exchange, fashion show help local teens find dresses

MARYSVILLE — With its change of venue from Arlington to Marysville the third annual prom dress exchange and second annual accompanying fashion show on Saturday, April 20, bolstered the previous years’ numbers of dresses, shoppers and models. “Last year, we had 10 models who were all from Arlington,” said event organizer Emily Peterson, who noted that this year’s models numbered five from Arlington, four from Marysville, two from Lakewood and one each from Darrington and Stanwood. “We also had a little more than 125 prom dress shoppers this year, and close to 200 people overall, including parents and other family members, who came from Darrington and Everett and everywhere in-between. That’s about double the attendees from the previous year.” Also double the previous year’s totals were the nearly 500 dresses collected this

year, an estimated 125 of which left with new owners on the day of the exchange. “Another 50 or so are going into storage for next year’s event, and the remaining 325 are going to Kids’ Kloset in Arlington to be sorted,” Peterson said. “We work hand-in-hand with Kids’ Kloset so that many of the dresses they store and keep we’ll have access to again next year, as well as the ability to allow girls to borrow dresses yearround for formal events. Any dresses remaining after that are going to a similar dress exchange event that happens in Tacoma.” Peterson explained that Arlington and Marysville businesses sponsor this annual event to assist parents of high school seniors as they struggle to cover the costs of formalwear and cosmetics for all the social and career occasions that are slated increasingly close together as graduation approaches. “Not only are we able to collect hundreds of dresses to gift to those in need, but we’re also able to partner

students with local businesses that can provide services at discounted prices, sometimes even for free. These young ladies and gentlemen also get a chance to participate in a photo shoot and fashion show, which is an opportunity many of them will never get otherwise and, again, the businesses who help make this happen are incredible.” Peterson deemed this year “fantastic” and cited the numbers of students who return to volunteer and donate to the event, as well as the families who continue to spread the word

about it. “By keeping this a close grassroots type of event, we’re able to work directly with the young women whom we’re helping,” Peterson said. “One hundred percent of the costs to put this event on are raised or donated within the planning committee — and I estimate that at $7,000 easily — so 100 percent of any donations received for the event are donated to Kids’ Kloset to support its ‘Prom Closet’ year round. If it wasn’t for the businesses, there is no way this event could happen.”

TULALIP — The discovery of a suspicious object at the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino on the evening of Tuesday, April 16, was met with caution in the wake of the Boston bombing on the previous day, but no one was harmed by the object. “There were no threats issued by anyone,” said Ken Kettler, president and COO of the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino. “It was just this guy who came in with it, saying, ‘Hey, look at what I found.’ I actually think he was trying to be a hero.” According to Kettler, the object’s discovery resulted in a shutdown of the front entrance area for at least an hour as Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino staff waited for the arrival of law enforcement personnel. Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s

Office, explained that the object was found outside of the hotel’s entrance, and was called in as resembling a black bottle. The Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad, whose members include Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office personnel, responded by taking the object to “Boom City” and detonating it with C-4. Washington State Patrol Trooper Mark Francis confirmed that the call reporting “a suspicious package containing an unknown substance” was placed at 9:54 p.m., and that the object was removed and disposed of at 12:21 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17. “The threat wasn’t considered high enough to require an analysis,” Ireton said. “It was just considered safer to detonate it. There was a person whom we detained for questioning, but he was later released.”

Arlington athletes break school records BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Eagles track and field team hosted the Snohomish Panthers on Thursday, April 18, and took first place in both girls and boys events, and broke two school records on top of that. The Arlington boys team

finished with a team score of 90.33, while the girls finished with a team score of 83. Senior Dan Boyden took first place in the shot put, breaking a 40-yearold school record with a 57-foot, 2.75-inch throw. Freshman distance runner Emma Janousek broke the school record for the

3,200-meter race with a final time of 11:33.30. The previous record was set more than 27 years ago. “We had these two very ancient records go down, at home, and that was really great to see,” said coach Mike Shierk. “The cool thing about Dan is that he broke his own school record again on Saturday

[at the Viking Classic].” The Viking Classic was held on Saturday, April 20, at Lake Stevens High School, and the Arlington girls team took first place out of eight teams, while the boys took third out of eight. “We did very well. The girls won it and the boys took third and we took first with our combined score,” said Shierk. “It shows massive depth for the team.

This is the third year that we’ve won that meet. There’s always good competition, including teams from the Eastside, so it was good to go down there and place first.” The Eagles will host home meets for the next three weeks, including a meet against Oak Harbor and Stanwood on Thursday, April 25. “Stanwood and Oak Harbor are really good

schools. Oak Harbor, even though they are 3A, still have a really good track program. Stanwood is a natural rivalry. It doesn’t matter where either program is at, it is natural that we are going to want to go out and beat them,” said Shierk. “The weather is going to be great, and it’s the last meet before we move on to the championships, so we are really looking forward to it.”

Lady Eagles shut out Knights, 6-0 Fuerza FC U5-U9 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Lady Eagles softball team kept the Kamiak Knights scoreless on Wednesday, April 17, in a 6-0 home game. “I had four people hit doubles in that game, including Ronnie Ladines, Lynsey Amundson and Hayley Fields. Really our senior group is leading us,” said head coach Dan Eng. Starting pitcher Ronnie Ladines returned after a finger injury kept her off the field, in the April 15 game against Lynnwood. “She pitched all seven innings in the [Lynnwood] game,” said Eng. “Hayley pitched the first four innings of the game against Kamiak and Ronnie came in and closed. She is starting to get her stamina back, and she has been cleared by the doc-

tor to go full. One thing I noticed the first time I put her back, compared to the other nine games that we played, the team came together and settled down because they are used to her.” The Lady Eagles are hoping that the second half of the season will bring them some in-league wins to boost them up to the district playoffs in mid-May. “Currently we are 9-2, and with eight games left that is almost half a season,” said Eng. “Most of those are conference games and we are only 4-2 in league. The top four schools go to districts and that’s what our goal was all year — to try to finish in the top four and make it Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo to districts.” Arlington will play at Jackson on Arlington’s Hayley Fields runs to first, just Wednesday, April 24, in a rain-out ahead of the ball, during an April 17 home makeup at 4 p.m. game against Kamiak.

Country Manor’s ‘Spring Cleanup’ exceeds expectations

ARLINGTON — The Country Manor neighborhood’s first “Spring Cleanup” event on Saturday, April 20, and Sunday, April 21, generated more interest than its organizers anticipated. “We’ve already got one dumpster full,” said D’Ann Gidos, the president of Country Manor 2, only three hours after their free waste and recyclables collections started on April 20. “We got a lot more metal than I expected. A lot more wood, too, which was surprising.” Gidos thanked not only Waste Management NW for supplying the eight-ton dumpster and conducting curbside pickups of furniture, yard debris, and mattresses and box springs on Thursday, April 18, but also the city of Arlington for supplying several yards of free compost for the residents of the neighborhood’s 244 units. “This event is a first for

this community,” said Gidos, who also thanked Budget Appliance Services of Everett for collecting the recyclable appliances, as well as Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert personally for her work with Country Manor. “She has been extremely helpful to us.” The “Spring Cleanup” was scheduled for the weekend preceding this year’s Earth Day, and Gidos would like to see it not only become an annual event, but also be accompanied by a “Fall Cleanup” as well. “We’ll definitely be more prepared for the next one,” said Gidos, who was joined by just shy of a dozen volunteers on April 20 in taking in trash and reusable materials. “We’ll need a bigger dumpster, and more input from the community, since we only had a month to prepare for this one. More volunteers would be great, too.” Gidos expressed gratitude to the contributions of those who don’t even live in the

www.arlingtontimes.com/green_editions

Country Manor neighborhood for making the “Spring Cleanup” possible, a sentiment echoed by Country Manor 2 Vice President Robert Hernandez and Board member Brad Kaye. “It’s encouraging to see so many people come together to try and lift up this whole community,” Kaye said. “The camaraderie has been great, and one lady was just so excited to be able to pick up free compost. Events like this make me glad to meet people I don’t know, and to shake their hands.” Before the volunteers enjoyed a pizza dinner that Saturday afternoon, Gidos expressed the hope that such events could help set positive trends beyond their own community. “Recycling and repurposing is a way of giving back,” Gidos said. “We throw too much stuff out into the trash, that winds up piling up in landfills, when what’s junk to one person can be treasure to another.”

Unintentional poisonings are at a record high in Snohomish County. The most recent information shows that, in 2011, the number of such poisonings affected 150 county residents, more than triple the 46 reported in 2000. You can help reduce the chance of unintentional poisonings by disposing of your unwanted medicines on National Drug Take-back Day on Saturday, April 27, at multiple locations in Snohomish County. “Unintentional poisonings frequently involve prescription drugs,” said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, Health Officer and Director of the Snohomish Health

Get rid of unwanted medicines on April 27

District, who added that such poisonings not only harm people, but improperly discarded drugs can also harm the environment when they enter septic systems and household trash. To help protect the public’s safety and health, area law enforcement agencies and Bartell Drug will participate in National Drug Take-back Day on Saturday, April 27, at sites throughout the county. Locations and hours are listed on the Snohomish Health District’s website at www.snohd.org, or can be obtained by calling 425-3883199. These sites will accept unused, expired and unwanted prescription drugs, including narcotic painkillers

and other medications. All police departments in the county have drop-boxes available year-round, Monday through Friday, including the NCIS office at Naval Station Everett, the Washington State Patrol office in Marysville, and tribal police stations on the Tulalip and Stillaguamish reservations. Only law enforcement locations can accept controlled substances, such as Ativan and OxyContin. All items should be left in their original containers. The Saturday drug-return hours support the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s “National Drug Take-back

Day,” through participation by the Snohomish County Partnership for Secure Medicine Disposal. Partnership members include the Snohomish Health District, Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s office, the Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force, the Washington State Patrol and all local law enforcement agencies. The Arlington Police Department’s drop-off location is open from 10 a.m. to noon at 110 E. Third St. in Arlington, while the Marysville Police Department’s drop-off location is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1635 Grove St. in Marysville.

Marysville’s Poochapalooza seeks vendors

MARYSVILLE — The seventh annual Marysville Poochapalooza is seeking interested pet-related businesses and “people food” vendors for Snohomish County’s biggest outdoor dog event, a summertime dog festival celebrating pet lovers and their four-legged best friends. This year’s event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Strawberry Fields Athletic Park, located at 6100

152nd St. NE in Marysville. Poochapalooza is sponsored by the Marysville Dog Owners Group. “It’s like a county fair for dogs, without the rides,” Poochapalooza Founder and M-DOG President Leslie Buell said. “We host Poochapalooza as a fun day out for pet lovers, and to highlight pooches at their best and brightest.” Public admission is free, but $5 minimum donations are greatly welcomed, with

goodie-filled “wag bags” provided to the first 400 visitors. Poochapalooza donations, event sponsorships and vendor fee proceeds support park improvements at Marysville’s Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park, and ongoing stewardship of the park as provided by M-DOG on behalf of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department, as well as contributing toward costs for making “The Pooch” bigger and better

for participants. “This is M-DOG’s major fundraiser for the off-leash dog park, and the proceeds from this event go toward supplies, repairs and special projects,” Buell said. “We are 95 percent to completion of our small dog area within the dog park. The small dog area is for dogs 25 pounds or smaller, so they can socialize and enjoy the park with dogs their size.” Dozens of pet vendor booths, a regional flying disc

championship, a Flyball competition, a couple of surprise new additions, including a wiener dog race and Skyhoundz discs, and many “Best in Show” contests are just some of the activities and exhibitions rounding out a full day of activities for dogs and their owners. “Dog tournaments are back,” Buell said. “We still have our pet contests and pie-eating contest, along with canine ‘Good Citizen’ testing all day long, Seattle Flydog Flyball, demonstrations on First Aid and CPR, ‘Reading with Rover,’ nail-trimming and our third annual ‘Fashions and Rescues’ runway dog show, showcasing adoptable rescue dogs from five local rescue groups.” Vendor forms, booth

Name: Tiffany Animal ID: 19661867 Breed: Ragdoll Mix Age: 5 Years Gender: Female Color: Seal Point Spayed/Neutered: Yes Beautiful Tiffany w/Tiffany Blue eyes can't wait for her new home! She was brought in because the other cats in her previous home kept trying to beat her up. She likes them & is cuddly & kind, so her new home should have friendly cats. She's never lived with other pets, nor has she been with small children. Shy at first, but warms and is affectionate in no time! If you think Tiffany could be your diamond, check her out today!

Name: Minerva Animal ID: 19665219 Breed: Chihuahua - short hair Age: 7 Years Gender: Female Color: White/Black/Tan Spayed/Neutered: Yes Minerva is looking for a quiet, adult only home. She does not like children, so visiting grandkids may not be a good fit. She loves to spend time in your lap cuddling the day away. Crate trained & housebroken. She lived with another chihuahua, but was shy around it and let it lead the way. Please give her time to warm up & become confident as she is a love. Come visit Minerva today.

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