ARLINGTON — Arlington’s Fourth of July festivities drew crowds to the city’s downtown, before returning to the site of the day’s first activities at Haller Park.

Legion Park was thronged with families that afternoon, as kids tried their hands at carnival games on the grass, in between magic shows by Brady Ramsey at the gazebo.

“The pony rides by Buckaroo Bob’s have been a big hit this year,” said Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce, who estimated that as many as 500 people circulated through Legion Park for the “Old-Fashioned Fourth” this year, compared to the roughly 300 attendees that the event attracted last year. “At any time, there’s been between 75-100 people here, but every time you look up, there’s a whole new set of people. We must have given out at least 100 balloons in the first half-hour alone.”

FOURTH FROM PAGE 1 Harmon thanked her volunteers, including the Arlington High School Honor Society and DECA students, for making sure everything ran smoothly.

The Arlington Lions Club’s apple pie fundraiser made its debut at this year’s “Old-Fashioned Fourth,” selling more than 70 slices for $2 apiece before the Kiddies Parade kicked off.

“For our first year, that’s pretty good,” said Maxine Jenft, as she sprayed whipped cream onto pie slices after Betty Breneman had ladled hot caramel onto them.

“Still, we were hoping to run out of pie before the end of the day,” said Randy Tendering, who nonetheless expressed optimism for next year’s event.

This year’s Kiddies Parade was coordinated by Stanwood High School’s Hayleigh Heggen and Shannon Shaw, who agreed that their senior project had been a fun learning experience.

“Everybody was really supportive in signing on,” Shaw said of the businesses and other organizations that

she and Heggen asked to sponsor the parade, which allowed them to present prizes of coloring books and crayons, gift certificates for bowling, and gift baskets to the winners in the “Patriotic,” “Costumes” and “Wheels” categories.

Diana Kinney’s foster daughter, Josie Guizar, decided two days before the Kiddies Parade that she wanted to enter, so they spent $3 on chicken wire and a dollar on paper to turn her into a girl-sized firecracker, which earned her first place in the “Costumes” category.

“She’s already a firecracker,” laughed Kinney. “I was dreading how much work we’d have to do, but it was actually pretty fun and easy once we got into it.”

In the Grand Parade, Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church won for the floats category, just as Union Bank did for the commercial entries, while the Playa Bonita Mexican Restaurant’s company of singers, dancers, instrumentalists and horseback riders galloped off with first place for the adult marching entries. Boy Scout Troop 92 topped the junior marching entries, while the Washington Army National Guard’s big rigs rolled over the competition to take first

for the nonprofit entries. The antique and classic vehicles entries’ winners were led by a 1917 GMC truck.

After the Grand Parade, retired U.S. Navy Capt. Jerry Mathews reflected on his 44 years of military service in the context of the day’s patriotic holiday.

“Wars are a lot more dangerous now, I think,” said Mathews, who stood on the sidewalk of Olympic Avenue in his dress whites for the Grand Parade, as his fellow veterans passed. “There’s a lot more confusion today, but the majority of people still want to do the right thing.”

At Haller Park, the Rotary Club of Arlington announced 25 winners of $1,000 each, courtesy of the 25th annual Great Stilly Duck Dash, which Dale Duskin credited with raising more than $1 million over the course of its quartercentury history, including more than $75,000 this year alone for a new playground at Haller Park.

“What you see here now won’t be here a year from now,” Duskin said, just after

Chase, Tom Lane and John Meno prepare to present $1,000 each to 25 winners at the 25th annual Great Stilly Duck Dash in Haller Park on the Fourth of July. the rubber ducks were fished out of the Stillaguamish River. “This will become a destination playground, that people drive 20-30 miles to come to, and that’s all because of all of you.

Whether you win tonight or not, you’re all still winners,

because you’ve won this for the community.”

The evening wrapped up with the Chamber’s fireworks show in the skies above the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, which Richard Sheppard and his family have turned out for faithfully

for the past decade.

“Every year, we catch the parade and tailgate it for the fireworks,” said Sheppard, after his son Ryan had served up ribs from the barbecue in the flatbed of his truck.

“This year’s fireworks were the best yet.”

Pride of Marysville Neighborhood Improvement Awards to be announced

n the coming weeks, the winners will be announced in our 2013 Pride of Marysville Neighborhood Improvement Award program.

We presented the first-ever awards last year to an exceptional home and two businesses that clearly take pride in their property in ways that enhance the appearance of their neighborhood and community, just based on the sweat equity, landscaping and improvements they incorporated into their places.

Based on the nominations the city received this year by the July 1 deadline, the Award Selection Committee has another impressive batch of homes and businesses to choose from, all worthy of recognition. Committee members will be driving by these homes and businesses soon to gain a better first impression of the features that put them in the nominees circle.

The awards are a fun and easy, cost-effective way to recognize neighbors and businesses who take pride in their property in ways that enhance the appearance of the community. The awards are intended to inspire other neighbors to improve their homes and landscapes. Business owners are recognized for the “curb appeal” of their business facade and location.

As you may recall, the four awards available are Best Home/ Pride of the Neighborhood, Best Block or Neighborhood, Best Business and lastly, the Mayor’s Choice — James Comeford Award that goes to a mostimproved home or business in the downtown-waterfront dis-

trict. Winners are formally publicized and recognized at a City Council meeting, and presented with quality engraved markers for them to display in their winning yard, home, neighborhood entrance or business for others to see.

The idea of a more attractive and livable community has long been a topic of discussion in government meetings, coffee klatches, community meetings and input from lifelong residents and others who are sincere about the need for something to be done about the city’s general lack of cleanliness.

The way in which we improve and maintain our homes, landscaping, businesses, buildings, and gardens communicates an image of Marysville, one that we hope will promote community and neighborhood pride.

Marysville put forward its own concerted beautification effort with the community-wide Clean Sweep Week last April, a massive spring cleaning effort of some 300 volunteers from local churches, nonprofits, service clubs and citizens, in partnership with city employees and several business sponsors. Working together throughout the week, the groups helped neighborSEE MAYOR, PAGE 5 THE MARYSVILLE

Our kids are depending on us

ello! My name is Becky Berg and I am the new Superintendent of the proud Marysville School District. I follow in the footsteps of my predecessor, Dr. Larry Nyland, who served this district selflessly for the past nine years. I come to you most recently from the Deer Park School District in Deer Park, Wash., just north of Spokane. My husband and I are so excited to live here and to “knit in” to the fabric of the Marysville/ Tulalip community.

As I sit in my new office on this warm July day, I am struck by both the history and the future of our school district and of our community. Those that have come before me have created a high performing school district that is known widely for its courage to be innovative and to improve the way education has always been. This means that the

GUEST OPINION BECKY BERG team of educators, families, and community members have examined their practices, looked at current research and at systems that were unlocking education for their students, and have been bold in creating solutions for today’s learner.

Our smaller learning communities structure at our high schools has set the mark for creating communities of caring where students are known and are challenged.

Our partnership with the Tulalip Tribes, the city of Marysville and the Parks and Recreation Department,

the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, YMCA, Boys & Girls Club and United Way, just to name a few, is also a hallmark of the Marysville School District. Upon first arriving in Marysville it was evident that the community wraps its arms around each child and works tirelessly to ensure their success and happiness.

And I am also struck by those individuals who have given all of their hearts to our students and upon whose shoulders we stand.

Whether a kindergarten teacher who developed lesson plans to capture the fleeting attention of five year olds, or a bus driver who made a child feel special, a maintenance worker who tended to our facilities so that students can learn in bright, well-cared for spaces, or a voter who had not had children in school for a SEE BERG, PAGE 5

Road noise can make new cars sound old

P

eople are voicing displeasure that shiny new cars leave them less than perfectly happy.

They don’t handle as well as they should, they ride rough and they’re noisy. One should expect more after shelling out big bucks.

I have to agree, but that’s because of my noisy new tires, not a new car. After getting a new set mounted I returned to the dealer to ask, “Weren’t these supposed to minimize road noise?” Yup, that’s what they were billed to do but they didn’t because they couldn’t. No tire can make up for roads so worn that wear-resistant stones stick up like cobbles. No tire can neutralize the effect when bits of highway topcoating peel away.

We were headed back to Puget Sound from Spokane via Highway 2. The strip of highway through Spokane’s eastern suburb of Airway Heights had deteriorated enough to remind me of certain Nigerian

BOB GRAEF

highways where motorists veer off to the side because driving through the bush is more comfortable than dealing with axle-breaking chuckholes of the main route.

A wry benefit of rough roads is that my wife and I talk to each other more when traveling. More like yelling at each other, that is. The radio pretty much gets swallowed up by the roar from below. Same with audio books we’d like enjoy during long trips. And our chats are punctuated with a lot of, “What did you say?” Of course, some of the blame rests in my ought-to-be-replaced hearing aids.

More of the blame can be attached

to uni-body design. When Detroit determined that cars could be milled out more cheaply by integrating the body and frame, we lost a layer of cushy rubber donuts that separated body and frame in older models.

Much of the roughness that tires picked up was damped out by those wonderful buffers.

You can still get vehicles with road-isolating cushions but only in big pickups or SUVs that continue to separate frame from body. That irritates Prius-driving environmentalists like me who drive gas-misers to keep engine exhaust to a minimum.

How odd that big is quiet and little is loud. Manufacturers should admit it by offering ear-plugs as standard equipment for today’s economy cars.

To reach my brother’s home we had to drive up Spokane’s Manito Boulevard where deep tire furrows held us in our lane as surely as trains SEE GRAEF, PAGE 5

MAYOR FROM PAGE 4 hoods clean up where vandalism, graffiti and structural challenges leave visible impacts.

A key piece in the initiative was targeted neighborhood-wide cleanups in the Timberbrook/ Heather Glen neighborhoods, Kellogg Meadows and a section of downtown that assisted homeowners at no charge with removing tons of trash, wood, broken concrete, refuse and large miscellaneous items that had built up over time.

Residents praised and appreciated the effort, it inspired them and others to take more pride in their neighborhood, and we look forward to working with new neighborhoods next year.

While we’re on the subject of cleanup, I have to commend Grove Church for their incredible cleaning up job after the Marysville Strawberry Festival Grand Parade downtown last month. State Avenue can look pretty shabby after the city’s most attended and watched event gets over, but thanks to volunteer church members, by next morning you wouldn’t have known there even was a parade.

First impressions count, whether it’s the entryway to your home or business, neighborhood or the gateway into our community. The city recently installed hanging flower baskets along the new SR 529 Bridge as a colorful way to create a welcoming first

impression for visitors, and to demonstrate that civic pride begins right at the entrances into Marysville. Attractive gateway signage at Fourth Street and I-5, as well as the Lakewood neighborhood at 172nd and I-5, achieve the same purpose. Expect to see more artful gateways in the future.

A well-kept home, neighborhood or business is beneficial for our quality of life regardless of the time of year. With that in mind, an attractive neighborhood or business begins with you. Here are a few simple things you can do: ■ Look at your property objectively. Walk out to the curb and view your property as a neighbor or passerby would.

■ Check for peeling paint on home, garage or business building facade.

■ Check gutters and downspouts for rust or sags.

■ Check fences and retaining walls for any needed repairs.

■ Check landscaping.

Trim evergreens, shrubbery and trees; and plant flowers.

Creative and well-maintained landscaping enhances any property.

A well-kept home, neighborhood and business says that residents take pride in their community. With pride comes value, beauty and a great image for our city.

BERG FROM PAGE 4 very long time but who understood the importance of education — every individual over time has been a key participant in enhancing the learning and lives of our students. They are who brought us to this point today.

Are we there yet? No. The future is rich with opportunities. In our time together, we will need to wrestle with vitally important issues such as how, as a community, do we address the needs of the whole child — so that every child is safe, healthy, supported,

Think about the recent heat wave that hammered America’s southwest, softening asphalt-coated roads across the region. Trucks braking at intersections distorted sun-softened road-toppings like running children throwing wrinkles into rugs when they put on the brakes.

Sadly, keeping roads up to snuff is more costly than legislators will accept.

engaged and challenged? In an era of unprecedented mandates from federal and state governments, how do we fulfill the promise of public schools that reflect the values and expectations of the local community? In a society that is ever stratified by income and advantage, do we have the courage to ensure that children who need more of a boost, get more of a boost to reach their full potential? In an era of tight resources, how do we make sure that each of our schools is a state of the art, high quality learning environment with appropriate technology and resources to prepare our students

the cost of maintenance over years to come. But government budgeteers seem incapable of factoring new construction into ever-after budgets for maintenance.

There are concrete reasons for escalating DOT budgets. New roads add to the total to be maintained, and because maintenance and construction costs inflate, because culverts across the region have to be replaced to improve salmon runs, because radical weather events take a toll on roads and their maintenance. Note: The cost of stud-related maintenance is dropping as more drivers now understand that good snow tires beat studs for most winter conditions.

Covering the cost has become more complicated.

for an increasingly high-tech, highperformance world? This is just the tip of the iceberg of the work ahead of us.

I am confident, however, that by locking arms with each other and with a relentless focus on the success of each child — despite circumstance — we can do this vitally important work.

Our kids are depending on us. Thank you in advance for joining me on the journey.

Dr. Becky Berg, Superintendent, can be reached via email at Becky_Berg@ msvl.k12.wa.us or by calling 360-6530800.

Fifty years ago when most cars averaged 16 miles per gallon, number crunchers could divide the cost of road issues by the number of license plates to get a rough idea of how much each of us should pay. Then trowel it out more smoothly to take into account busriders and other nondriving citizens who still depend on roads to get to the grocery store and doctor.

But now my Prius gets three times 16 miles per gallon so I cheat the gas-tax system with each fill-up.

Alas, that might end. A 2005-2006 study put GPS monitors in 275 volunteer vehicles to explore the notion of monitored user-fees for every vehicle.

Though many complained it was an intrusion into

personal affairs, some system must take over to keep hybrids and electrics from getting a free ride.

Our gas tax must go up.

Beginning with a penny per gallon in 1921, the gas tax has risen over time, or so it seems. Actually, when corrected for inflation, the 2011-13 gas tax is less than half what it was in 1921. It doesn’t cover costs even when coupled with tolls, ferry fares federal grants, license fees, fines, public transit fares and so on. That’s why we’re being slammed with a necessary additional 10.5 cents per gallon tax.

It just might give all of us a smoother ride.

‘Still’ web series sets story in Arlington

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Chloe and Jonathan Holbrook check out the car-camera footage during their June 30 shoot for the upcoming ‘Still’ web series.

Sean Michael McCollum December 27, 1968 — May 30, 2013

Sean Michael McCollum, 44, Born December 27, 1968 in Everett WA, died May 30, 2013 at Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington. He lived with his birth mother, Laurie StempelNewton for the first nine years of his life. Sean came to Tim and Vicki Adams and their family in 1978.

He was adopted and lived with them in Arlington until his death.

Sean was mentally handicapped. He loved music, watching TV, going out to eat at Denny’s. He loved being part of Voices of the Village, the music program at VCS and performed with them; rocking and beating on a tambourine. He worked at Village Community Services (VCS), Arlington, for 24 years, doing several different jobs with great vocational counselors, including MaryLou, Willetta, and Bev, until August 2011. We are all better people due to sharing life with Sean, his great smile, and his dominant presence will be missed. He loved his siblings, especially “Mawinnas” (Malynda McCarter). Sean had a lot of family and friends who

loved all of him and who he was!

He is survived by his parents, Tim and Vicki Adams, siblings Jimmy Miller (who was Sean’s constant companion for 35 years, and is lost without his brotherly bossing), John Adams, and Malynda McCarter, and families, many special family members and friends, Kimmy and Randy, Diona, and their families, Nieces and Nephews, Damon, Dylan, Demri, Kia, Kennedy. They were his childhood family, that drug Sean around, dressing him up and playing Batman. Sean also leaves his birth mom, Laurie Newton and her adopted sister BJ Degenstein, both of Marysville. Sisters, Lisa Blauvelt (Bryant) and Shari Klein (Derek), uncles, Barry Brainard (Catie), Criss Brainard (Shauna), and Greg Knight and

Sean’s special girlfriend, Jamie and her family.

Sean received wonderful care through Dr. Mark Spencer, Harborview Medical Center, Cascade Valley Hospital, and his dentist Dr. Jeff Huleatt. Acquiring care for people with developmental disabilities can be difficult. Sean was very fortunate to have these people on his team.

Sean knew he had Jesus in his heart; he had routines of saying a blessing at mealtime (several times), and praying before bedtime. When someone else would pray he would cut it short by saying “AMEN!”.

It is a blessing to know that he is in the loving arms of Jesus.

Please join us on Sunday July 21, 2013 at Smokey Point Community Church, at 3:00 PM to celebrate Sean’s life. 17721 Smokey Point Blvd Arlington WA. In lieu of flowers please make a designated gift to the Music Program through Village Community Services, 3210 Smokey Pt Drive Suite 200 Arlington WA 98223, who gave Sean a great community to be a part of.

“To get hit by a car, you just pay attention to its trajectory, and then time yourself to hop on its hood,” said Porter, whose “infected” character was struck by a car as part of that day’s shoot.

As a fan of shows such as Mad Men, Breaking Bad, The Killing and Game of Thrones,

Holbrook hopes that he can duplicate the same experience for his own audience, of “how I would get sucked into the characters and stories in each episode, and how they would keep me wanting more.”

ARLINGTON — Arlington filmmaker Jonathan Holbrook has been shooting throughout his hometown for an online horror series that he aims to have ready in time for Halloween.

“Still” was inspired by an assortment of odd real-world phenomena, from thousands of dead birds that were found around the world two years ago to strange noises connected to solar flares, which Holbrook spitballed into a sci-fi premise about humans being infected by ... something.

Holbrook has found the production of longer features to be a bit tedious, while the shorter films he’s made have felt too fleeting, which was why an ongoing web series, with episodes lasting 10 minutes or less each, seemed like the perfect balance. Likewise, although he’s shot scenes in other locations, including downtown Everett, Holbrook intends to make Arlington the primary shooting location for the fictional Sloughtown, Wash.

“As we were scouting loca-

tions for our June 30 shoot, I noticed the friendly, allAmerican feel of Arlington, which is what I wanted for Sloughtown,” said Holbrook, who thanked Kristin Banfield and Sarah Lopez of the city of Arlington for facilitating shooting permits and locations. “We plan to shoot more scenes in Arlington. We’d chatted briefly with the Blue Bird Cafe about shooting at their location for episode six, but nothing has come of it as of yet.”

Holbrook and his crew already shot episodes one through five from May 4 through June 30, and episode one is ready to air this October. He plans to release a new episode every three weeks to a month, with a total of 12 episodes whose principal shooting he’s scheduled to complete by October.

Among his 77 actors and extras, six production assistants, five associate producers, two line producers and two assistant directors, Holbrook has also recruited Kate Dixson, a special effects makeup professional whose work includes the TV show Grimm, and veteran stunt-

AAC presents final ‘Art in the Barn’ Marysville Tulalip Chamber

announces new Board

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — After 10 years, the Arlington Arts Council’s annual “Art at the Barn” welcomed its last crowd of attendees to the Yantis family farmyard in Oso on June 29-30.

“It’s been great fun, but our family has been getting older, so it’s been a bit harder to cope with the stresses of helping to set this up,” said Monica Yantis, an Arlington Arts Council member and one of the hosts of the “Art at the Barn,” who presented her own oil paintings, watercolors and pencil artworks this year. “We’re looking for other adventures.”

“We’re just happy and grateful for the 10 years of service that the Yantis family has provided us,” Arlington Arts Council President Sarah Arney said.

“Their farm allowed our artists to be reunited, hang out together and showcase their work in a beautiful setting. The big debate now is whether we should find a new location for a new art show.”

Arlington Arts Council Board member Roberta Baker echoed Arney’s praise for the Yantis family’s hospitality, and proudly touted the diversity of this year’s 20 artists, all of whom she credited with having fans, including the musical per-

“One lady called me last night wanting to know when Paul Nyenhuis would be playing his flutes,” Baker said on June 29. “She’s never missed one of his shows.

Attendance has stayed fairly steady throughout the event, even with the weather being a bit warm. We’ve got a good variety of art here, and it’s great that people get to meet the artists who made it.”

Rod Sylvester has been painting for 36 years, since he was 19 years old, but this year marked his first as a showcased artist at the “Art at the Barn” event.

“I love nature, and the

need to express that feeling is a constant driving force,” said Sylvester, who presented his oil paintings, photography and mixed media artwork at the Yantis family farmyard. “I try to relate to people through my art by capturing moments that I can connect to in my own life, and that they might be able to connect to in theirs.

Being here has been hot but fun. I enjoy seeing people’s reactions to my work.”

“I’m thankful to all the people who have participated in this event,” Yantis said.

“I continue to support local art and artists, and I always appreciate it when they can converge.”

TULALIP — The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce’s new Board of Directors represents a rare influx of new blood, according to Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers.

Although Rogers estimated that the Board already averages a turnover of about one-third of its members each year, she deemed this year’s number of new Board members unprecedented in the Chamber’s history.

“We deliberately seek out folks from small businesses, corporations, nonprofits and the Tribes to represent all segments of our community,” Rogers said. “This year’s Board boasts an especially amazing spectrum.”

Rogers touted the value of a recent team-building retreat at the Cedar Springs Campground in Naches, Wash., in getting the Board members familiar and comfortable with one another.

“We wanted a camaraderie that would allow them to discuss the pros and cons of issues without fear, so that when we do adopt a position, we’re unified behind it,” Rogers said.

“We deliberately seek out folks from small businesses, corporations, nonprofits and the Tribes to represent all segments of our community. This year’s Board boasts an especially amazing spectrum.”

Caldie Rogers Chamber President and CEO “That’s why we’ve never lost in our lobbying efforts.”

As the new Board plots the Chamber’s course for the future, Rogers called attention to Lance Curry of Edward Jones & Co., who will be heading up the Chamber’s emissaries program as part of its public relations efforts, and The Marysville Globe Publisher Paul Brown, who will chair the Chamber’s next “Buy Local” campaign.

“Educating the community on our local businesses has been proven effective,” Rogers said. “It’s one reason why we haven’t had to raise our dues for so many years.”

Rogers, Curry and Brown are joined on this year’s Board by Chair John Bell of Willis Hall, Vice Chair Teri Gobin of the Tulalip Tribes TERO, Past Chair David Chin of Go Small Biz, Chair Elect Will Ibershof

of Waste Management, and Treasurer Robyn Warren of Langabeer, McKernan, Burnett & Co. “Rebecca and Paul Pukis [of Mosaic Insurance Alliance] are waiting in the wings to chair our military affairs committee,” said Rogers, who named Perry McConnell of Hansen, McConnell and Pellegrini as the Chamber’s legal counsel. “We’re still waiting on a government affairs chair.”

Other Board members include Al Aldrich, Dom Amor, Dr. Becky Berg, Joy Brown, Doug Buell, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Jeff Caulk, Gloria Hirashima, Jessica Joseph, Pastor Greg Kanehan, Ken Kettler, John McKeon, Becky Mulhollen, Dennis Niva, Patrick Sisneros, Jack Schumacher, Rob Toyer and Chris Winters.

Arlington rower medals at Masters Regionals

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

VANCOUVER — A local man has spent more than a decade perfecting his skills as a competitive rower and his hard work paid off on Sunday, June 23, when he took home a silver medal from the Northwest Masters Regionals rowing competition in Vancouver, B.C. Ben McIsaac, of Arlington, began recreational rowing when he joined the Lake Stevens Rowing

Club in 2003.

“I worked construction and I met an electrician named Scott Holmgren who was putting together a small rowing team in Lake Stevens,” said McIsaac. “He kept bugging me until I finally came down and tried it out.”

McIsaac was no stranger to the water, having fished since he was a child and spent time canoeing local rivers.

“That’s actually how the conversation started,” he said. “Scott had a boat rack on his truck that

Ben McIsaac rows a single at the Sound Rowers Rat Island Regatta in Port Townsend, Wash.

I didn’t recognize. I was already into canoeing and getting out on the water and spending time on the Stillaguamish River and Skagit River.”

He joined the Lake Stevens Rowing Club, where he practiced with other new members for one full year before he felt “competition ready.”

“The first thing I noticed was that the boats were really long and skinny. It took some time getting used to a boat that is uncomfortable, and after that it was learning how to row properly. Anyone can put an oar in the water, but it takes a lot to put an oar in the water and go fast, and not kill yourself doing it. It’s a lot of learning and practicing all the time, and it took a while to be race ready.”

Admittedly, his first race was not his best.

“I remember that one of the guys said, ‘Well, at least you participated,’” he laughed. “After the first race, we weren’t really competing yet. It took three or four races to start being competitive.”

McIsaac practices every Saturday

and Sunday morning, year round, even in the winter.

“The winter is actually the best time to row because the water is flat and there are no skiers or boats on the water,” he said. “This time of year, rowing is a lot more difficult because there are a lot more people on the water. There are a lot of nice winter birds and fog and snow on the mountains. It’s just really nice in the winter.”

The practicing has certainly paid off for McIsaac, who has competed in a number of races and has “a pretty good bunch” of medals and trophies.

In 2008, McIsaac and a few other local rowers started the North Cascade Crew, that also practices on Lake Stevens. Rowing competitions held in the springtime are similar to a track meet, where rowers are lined up and race 1,000-meters to the finish line.

“In the fall, it’s almost like a cross country race,” said McIsaac. “It’s a longer distance and usually takes you around buoys or around the lake, down in the river, or in Puget Sound. They are usually closer to

three to six miles. They are very exciting and they wear you out.”

Although he has competed at the Masters Regionals before, and even won gold medals in the past, he still gets a little nervous anticipation before each race.

“Well, I get a little nervous the week before the race. I try not to think about it, though. As a working man, you never train as much as you wish you had,” he said.

It seemed that he had trained enough for this race, as he finished just shy of first place on what he called the “a beautiful day for rowing” — 70 degrees and overcast.

“I felt really super tired, but at the same time I didn’t know what place I was in,” said McIsaac, of crossing the finish line. “I knew I had a big smile on my face.”

He and fellow North Cascades Crew members had competed against 47 clubs from eight states and two countries in the Northwest Masters Regionals, the largest regional regatta in the United States.

Celebrating July 4 with Pedal, Paddle, Puff lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — It was the perfect day for a triathlon on Thursday, July 4, when 21 teams and individuals registered for the annual Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon at Haller Park in Arlington.

“We have eight teams and 13 Iron Men and Women,” said Denise Putnam, event organizer. “We are competing on the regular course this year. We are high on the number of single competitors, but we have about half

the number of teams as we usually do.”

The Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon involves cycling 5.8 miles from Haller Park to the Jordan River Trail boat launch where competitors jump into a canoe or kayak to row six miles down the Stillaguamish River. They land back at Haller Park and from there the runners take off to race one mile up Centennial Trail and back to the finish line at Haller Park. The total distance of the competition is 15.8 miles.

Last year, the river was too high for safety requirements, so rowers took their boats to Anderson Lake and raced to the opposite shore and back to complete the rowing leg of the triathlon.

“I’m not really sure why our numbers are lower than usual,” said Putnam. “The river was high last week and this week, so that may have kept some people at bay.”

Despite the lower number of registrants, those who did participate were having a great time as they joined

community members eating a pancake breakfast from the Arlington Heights Firefighters Association and perusing the Kiwanis Club’s auction items before lining up to the start of the race.

Annalisa Devries, of Anacortes, has competed in the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon before and continues to come back to the competition because of the atmosphere.

“The first year I did it as a relay and the second year as an Iron Woman,” said Devries. “This year I am

It’s just such a fun family event. It’s low-key but fun to get in that race environment.

I just love it — I come back every year if I can. It’s definitely the community feeling that brings me back.”

Kiwanis Auction raises funds

July 10, 2013

Firefighters host pancake breakfast

BY LAUREN SALCEDO

BY LAUREN SALCEDO

ARLINGTON — The Kiwanis Club of Arlington drew an increase in both donations and auction bidders during their annual Fourth of July auction fundraiser at Haller Park on Thursday, July 4.

“As a rough estimate, all together we probably had between 90 and 100 total donations,” said Jim Rankin, club president. Although the auction items in the past have ranged from tickets to gift baskets to hand-crafted art pieces, Rankin believes that two specific items may have drawn a special interest this time.

“This year we had two additional items we have never had before. The first one is the chicken coop made by our member Terry Marsh,” he said. “That has been a really popular item.

The second thing is a wine rack, with wine in it, which Terry also built.”

ARLINGTON — Haller Park was packed with locals enjoying warm weather and warm pancakes on the morning of July 4, as members of the Arlington Heights Firefighters Association held their 30th annual pancake feed fundraiser.

The Arlington Heights Firefighters Association ordinarily serves roughly 1,000-1,200 pancake breakfasts every year, although the totals for this year were not tallied as of press time.

In 2012, they served 1,050 breakfasts and raised $5,500.

Firefighters and volunteer pancake cooks wore shirts that proclaimed their love for hot cakes as Fourth of July celebrations began at Haller Park, with pancakes, eggs, sausage and strawberries — each meal only $5.

“This is a good way to get into the community and raise funds,” said firefighter John Rainey, who has served

Eric Scott describes auction items to potential bidders at the annual Kiwanis Club Auction fundraiser at Haller Park on Thursday, July 4.

The popularity of those items coupled well with a new fundraising opportunity that the club is trying out this year — sponsorships.

“We sent out sponsorship letters to businesses who don’t have a product, but they might have a service — dentists, attorneys, financial advisors. We sent those letters out saying, ‘Even though you don’t have a product, would you be will-

“Between the chicken coop and the sponsorship letters, we will probably net about $2,400 and that’s all new money.”

The funds raised at the auction go toward scholarships for seniors at Arlington and Lakewood high schools. For more information visit www. kiwanisofarlington.org.

So many people turn out every year. I think we have about the same amount of customers as in previous years, but we rebuilt the pancake trailer this year, so we can keep up a lot better.”

The trailer was completely rebuilt to include an outside griddle station for cooks, which also helps keep the area well ventilated.

The pancake breakfast is the association’s main fundraiser for the year and they use the profits to support local families with meals and presents during the holidays.

They also use the funds to buy supplies that the fire department may need throughout the year.

sorts of hidden hazards under the water’s surface, from rocks to logjams.”

Rochon lamented that one water safety program has proven a bit too popular, since the loaner lifejacket cabinet at Gissberg Twin Lakes County Park that was stocked with 20 lifejackets just a few weeks ago now boasts only three.

“If you have one of those lifejackets, just bring them back,” Rochon said. “We won’t file charges against anyone, but people who take those lifejackets home jeopardize the program. When families come to the park and there aren’t any lifejackets there, that ruins some other child’s day.”

Just as the current in Ebey Slough can change direction with the tides, so too did Rochon point out that places like Twin Rivers Park are hazardous for swimmers, because the two forks of the Stillaguamish River converge there.

“You’re also dealing with the temperature differential of water that was snow 8-10 hours before,” Rochon said. “The air may be 70-90 degrees, but the water is nowhere near that warm. You have a 50/50 chance of being able to swim 50 yards in 50-degree water. If there’s any kind of current, your chances are even worse.”

Mark Murphy, senior program manager for the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, elaborated that colder waters and swifter currents tend to go together, since melting snow can cause both.

“And when you go from that hot summer sun to plunging into water that’s only 40-50 degrees, your body says, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m in trouble,’” said Murphy.

J.J. Edwards, the stepmother of Elijah Spratt, doesn’t want any other young swimmers to find themselves in trouble at Twin Rivers Park, where her stepson went into the water, so she and Amy Jacobson, a family friend, will be returning to the park to conduct a second lifejacket donation drive on July 13, from 2-4

p.m., after their first donation drive on July 6.

Jacobson explained that their eventual goal is to set up another loaner lifejacket station at Twin Rivers Park.

“I understand that the county doesn’t want to encourage people to swim in the river, even with lifejackets, because of how dangerous it is,” Jacobson said. “But people who have grown up here take it for granted that they can swim here.”

“This is the first time I’ve been back here since he drowned,” said Edwards, who received her first lifejacket donation on July 6 from Ren Leach and his son Cameron, who was a classmate of Spratt’s. “The water doesn’t look that fast. It’s so shallow now, but it wasn’t that way just a few days ago.”

Spratt’s drowning was the eighth in Snohomish County and the second in the Stillaguamish River for this year. One day after his drowning, the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office Dive Team was called to River Meadows Park on July 1, and joined Sheriff ’s deputies and a local fire unit in rescuing two kayakers and a group of five people floating down the river on inflatable devices. On July 5, the Dive Team, Sheriff ’s deputies and the Technical Water Response Team responded to a reported drowning in the Darrington area.

In response to Edwards and Jacobson’s campaign, Rochon noted that lifejacket loaner cabinets in Snohomish County are located where there are designated swim areas.

“The lifejackets for rivers are different in their construction and buoyancy than the lifejackets used in lakes and pools,” Rochon said.

“The lifejackets used in the loaner program are for calm waters, not rivers. Snohomish County Safe Kids and the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office Marine Services Unit do not encourage people to swim in moving waters due to the temperature, current, shifting bottoms and hidden hazards. Those hazards are constantly changing and are deadly. None of this should detract from the tragic loss of a 10-year-old boy with his life ahead of him. The thoughts and prayers of the many responders from that incident go out to the family.”

Operation Desert Comfort sends care packages to troops

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — On March 28, 25 volunteers of all ages gathered at the American Legion Post 178 Hall in Marysville to help Operation Desert Comfort meet its goal of assembling 25 care packages to ship to four different units of American

military members serving in Afghanistan.

On June 29, 20 volunteers returned to the Marysville Legion Hall, and in spite of their slightly reduced numbers, came close to meeting Operation Desert Comfort’s goal of assembling 50 care packages that Saturday.

“We put together 46 boxes,”

said U.S. Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Juarez, the founder and director of Operation Desert Comfort, who pledged the care packages would go to eight different units this time, including the four from before, one being the multinational medical unit with which he had served as a hospital corpsman in Afghanistan. “This time, we added protein bars and more meal stuff, like canned goods, since the drawdown

has reduced their hot meals to two a day.”

“If it wasn’t for the things we’ve been sending them, they’d be eating MREs all the time,” Operation Desert Comfort Board Secretary Lisa Perdue said.

Juarez so cherished the care packages of food and hygiene supplies that he received during his own overseas deployment that he began planning shipments to send to his fellow service

Midnight is very social with people and rolls right over on her back so you can rub her belly. She even has a fancy "S" tattooed there to let you know she's spayed! Midnight is frightened of dogs, and she does not like every cat she meets so it would be great for her to be the only pet in the household.

“This project has had strong support and backing from our local leaders, including the Arlington City Council and Mayor Barbara Tolbert, among others,” Pearson said. “With their help, I’m pleased we were able to get this work started. Once the culverts are replaced with properly sized ones, it will allow businesses to operate normally and make long-term plans to expand in the area.”

OLYMPIA — The Washington State Legislature approved a new two-year capital budget on Saturday, June 29, which included funding to make significant drainage improvements for Prairie Creek in Arlington. State Sen. Kirk Pearson worked to secure $750,000 aimed at reducing flooding in that area, which has had major impacts on local businesses and the Centennial Trail.

“I Can’t Live With the Excruciating Foot and Leg Pain!”

Announcing a new, high tech method for the treatment of Peripheral Neuropathy of the feet, leg or hands...

Here’s What Some Patients Have Said About the Treatment……

“My feet either felt painfully encased in ice or they felt like there were a thousand razor blade cuts on the top of each foot. I was diagnosed with severe diabetic neuropathy by a specialist who told me there was nothing that could be done! Then, I met Dr. Peseau, and began his program and after 4 treatments my foot pain suddenly stopped!” ~ Patient K.T., Age 58

“D

oc, I can’t live with this excrutiaing foot and leg pain!”.

When you hear this from a patient it gets your attention. Typically, I get the worst of the worst pain patients but when I recently heard this exclamation, my attention was particularly peaked. Let’s call this patient Ken. Ken is 58 years old with SEVERE neuropathy in his feet.

He had been told by his MD that his neuropathy was permanent and was given increasingly strong medicines for his symptoms. His life was literally as he described it, “a living hell.”

Clearly he was coming to the end of his rope.

The nerves in his legs and feet were damaged and he was in HORRIBLE CONSTANT PAIN. “I Can’t Sleep at Night” He complained to me, “I can’t sleep at night because my feet feel like they have a thousand razor blade cuts which prevents me from falling asleep every night”.

During the day, most neuropathy patients can hardly walk as every step sends shooting pain like lightening from the feet. Ken had numbness in his feet and couldn’t feel his feet very well and was developing progressive balance problems.

He was worried he might fall and injure himself.

He told me he could not go on living with this constant, debilitating pain that had made every day increasingly difficult, to the point where he had to retire from his teaching job!

I Had to Help This Man I recently was fortunate enough to discover a new non-invasive and non-drug treatment for severe and constant foot, leg and arm pain caused by neuropathy. I learned about a new type of non-surgical and painless treatment that was working wonders with severe, constant chronic pain. Including pain caused by neuropathy.

Due to Federal law some exclusions may apply.

“I was miserable standing for any length of time or sitting. I could not sleep and had constant leg pain and weakness in the leg and foot. Actually, I was thinking I was crazy! Now, after starting Dr. Peseau’s Neuropathy Program, I am sleeping at night, can go shopping without excruciating pain, my posture in much better and I mentally feel much better. My results are UNBELIEVABLE! After 1 1/2 years of ping pong between specialists only to be told they could do nothing for me, now I have renewed hope and have seen benefits after only 10 visits of treatment. I wish I would have done this sooner! I learned more about my back pain and spine in two visits with Dr. Peseau than in a year with other medical professionals. I feel they truly listen and care. ” ~ Patient A.S., Female, Age 54

It had the ability to quickly increase circulation to an area (much needed in a neuropathy patient). It could reduce and/or eliminate pain in as little as a few treatments and was changing the lives of patients with severe debilitating pain in offices across the nation.

Based on the information about this new type of technology and because of the almost immediate type of pain relief, I had to have this technology in my facility no matter what the cost.

I invested in and implemented these new treatments and we now offer them to neuropathy patients.

I traveled to another state and enrolled in extensive training. My staff and I witnessed some amazing reductions and eliminations of some of the worst pain syndromes I had ever seen...and it was FAST! After just a few treatments on patients with extreme and chronic pain of the worst kind, including neuropathy of the feet, legs and hands, we had patients telling us how their pain levels had decreased and they were shocked. Some of them had their pain even alleviated after only a few treatments.

We Were Able to Reduce or Even Eliminate Neuropathy Pain of the Worst Kind Using the latest and most recent technologies,

Don’t let numbness, tingling and pain hold you back from enjoying life.

I now offer a non-invasive, non-surgical and painless neuropathy pain treatment.
