ARLINGTON — Thousands of students, teachers and staff returned to school campuses across Arlington on Sept. 4 for the first day of classes for the 2013-14 school year.

“Currently, Arlington Public Schools has an enrollment of approximately 5,474 which will be verified over the next few days,” said Andrea Conley, public information director, who noted that head counts in the classrooms will give a more accurate account of the enrollment numbers at Arlington’s four elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools.

For most Arlington students, the first day of school was Wednesday, Sept. 4, though students in grades 10-12 did not begin until Thursday, Sept. 5. The cam-

Fire, EMS regionalization focus of meeting

pus at Post Middle School was buzzing with friends greeting one another after a summer apart, and first-year middle schoolers adjusting to their new environment.

“I’m pretty excited actually,” said Kody Reno, a sixth-grader at Post Middle School, who said he was still memorizing his class schedule. “I’m really looking forward to my science class. I love science.”

Sixth-grader Brooklyn Lamie was getting used to the new surroundings on her first day, but was overall happy to be back at class.

“Well, it’s kind of confusing right now because there are so many people running around,” said Lamie. “I can’t decide what I am most looking forward to. I’m excited about everything.”

ARLINGTON — After a study was commissioned near the end of last year to explore how fire and emergency medical services in North Snohomish County might work together in the future, the results and recommendations were released on Thursday, Sept. 5, during a special meeting of the Arlington City Council in the Byrnes Performing Arts Center.

Don Bivins, an associate with Emergency Services Consulting International, recommended four operational goals for all seven of the fire and EMS agencies that took part in the joint regional fire services cooperative effort study, including Arlington, Arlington Heights, Darrington, Silvana, Tulalip Bay, Camano Island and the North

County Regional Fire Authority.

Bivins advocated a single training division and a single logistics function between the seven agencies, whom he also advised to pool their volunteer services and create peak activity units.

“By sharing and centralizing your resources, you minimize duplication and standardize your services, which will save you money,” Bivins said. “Through allocation of equipment, you can extend the life of older equipment by sending it to stations that are a little slower.”

Bivins asserted that a shared pool of volunteers between the agencies would avoid them competing for the same people, while deploying teams to “hot spots” made up of one or two members from each agency would reduce the burdens on all of the agencies, allowing them to train without worrying about being on call.

Of the four potential combinations of the seven agencies that ESCI evaluated, Bivins recommended only one, partnering the Arlington Fire Department with Snohomish County Fire Districts 19 of Silvana and 21 of Arlington Heights. ESCI also considered affiliations between the North County Regional Fire Authority and Camano Island, as well as between Snohomish County Fire District 15 in Tulalip and the Tulalip Tribes, and between the North County Regional Fire Authority

“By sharing and centralizing your resources, you minimize duplication and standardize your services, which will save you money.”

Don Bivens Emergency Services Consulting International and Snohomish County Fire Districts 15 and 19.

However, only the combination of Arlington, Arlington Heights and Silvana showed everincreasing cost savings year after year. The two proposed combinations of other agencies with the North County Regional Fire Authority both showed them going into the red by hundreds of thousands of dollars by five years into the future. While the formation of a regional fire authority between Snohomish County Fire District 15 and the Tulalip Tribes is allowed by Washington state law, Bivins admitted that it would be “too convoluted” to evaluate financially, since the Tribes don’t tax their residents, but they do contribute sizable annual donations.

“They step up, but it’s not something we can factor in, because it’s really insulting to expect people to donate a given amount each year,” Bivins said.

Bivins calculated that the combined levy rate for Arlington, Arlington Heights and Silvana would need to be $1.21 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, which he calculated to be 3 cents lower than Arlington’s current rate and 26 cents lower than Silvana’s current rate, but 51 cents higher than Arlington Heights’ current rate. In return, such a regional fire authority

would yield more than $2 million in cost savings by 2018, according to ESCI’s math.

“And this assumes that you’re going into this marriage with no money,” Bivins said. “These financial advantages are on top of whatever dowry you’re already bringing into it.”

Marty Ruffner, vice president of the Arlington Firefighters Local 3728, inquired to what extent ESCI had considered relocations of the fire stations, to which Bivins responded that they had only considered whether the proximity of any two fire stations to one another created an inefficient level of overlap between their coverage zones.

“Have you ever had anyone enter into a regional fire authority and then get buyer’s remorse?”

Arlington City Council member Chris Raezer asked.

“I am aware of one client, yes, but they hadn’t asked us to do a study before they entered into the regional fire authority,” Bivins said.

“Even then, they didn’t want to undo the arrangement, but to change the levy rate and the levels of service they had promised.

I’m not aware of any others. You have members of the North County Regional Fire Authority here. You can ask them about their experiences.”

Lakewood students return to school

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — Before their new school year could begin on Tuesday, Sept.

3, the Lakewood School District had to prepare a number of new lessons and types of teaching for their students.

Dr. Michael Mack, director of student services and Career and Technical Education for the Lakewood School District, was temporarily filling in for Crystal Knight as principal of Lakewood Middle School as of Wednesday, Sept. 4, and he explained that the school’s sixth-grade students will be focusing heavily on a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics program in their curriculum.

“We’re combining applied math and science through such approaches as studying energy,” Mack said.

“We’ll start with solar, then move onto thermal and wind power, before having the students combine those power sources.”

In addition to having students go on more field trips to learn more outside

of the classroom, Mack promised that Lakewood Middle School would offer a more interdisciplinary approach to education, such as by having students write about their energy projects, to boost their literacy and scientific skills at the same time.

“Our seventh and eighth grades will have increased time for literacy in class, to focus more on the fundamentals of reading comprehension and writing,” Mack said. “We’re also really going to focus on math this year.

We need to figure out why some students are successful with certain lessons, while others aren’t, so that we can better prepare our lessons.”

Mack touted a schoolwide emphasis on “perseverance, of never giving up and continuing to try to their best,” while summing up the school’s enrollment on its second day as “up from the first day of last year, but down from what we normally had last year,” and expressed the hope that the student headcount would continue to increase.

“I’m always happy to see

the students come back,” said Mack, whose 33 years in education have included stints as a middle school principal in Stanwood and Lake Stevens. “I’m impressed with how respectful and kind these kids are, and how committed they are to doing their very best. They’re not perfect, but they strive for that, and I love to see their smiles and excitement when they return. Our challenge as educators is to keep that level up throughout the year, and to provide opportunities for them to find success, and to realize and reach their own potential.”

Just south of Lakewood Middle School, English Crossing Elementary had its own set of targets to hit before their first day of school on Sept. 3.

“Our three big ones were the new teacher evaluation system, which was a full day of training, as well as the new writing program, which had its own training, and the new student management system, ‘Time to Teach,’” said Bill Landry, principal of English

Crossing Elementary, before laughing, “So we’ve had a lot of training.”

While the writing program is new to English Crossing Elementary, Landry described it as a formalization of instruction methods that a number of the school’s teachers had already employed, but aligned with the Common Core State Standards.

“It’s a more systematic implementation of more effective methods of learning how to write,” Landry said. “It’s about deeper comprehension of writing, and tailoring one’s writing to apply it to a variety of audiences.”

According to Landry, “Time to Teach” training was provided to teachers, paraprofessionals and playground supervisors at English Crossing Elementary on Thursday, Aug. 29.

“Basically, we gave it to anyone who has contact with children at this school,” Landry said. “It’s the explicit teaching of successful behavior, in which we outline our exact expectations and reinforce them

English Crossing Elementary second-grade teacher Lisa Lewis uses a whiteboard projector to teach math to her class on their second day of school on Sept. 4. continually.”

Landry explained that the staff of English Crossing Elementary will be analyzing and addressing the development of students throughout the year, which he deemed an achievable model due to the cohesion and trust that he ascribed to the staff.

“They know the students and they support each

other, so they can get rolling quick in implementing any new material,” said Landry, who expressed pride in the “community feel” of his small school. “Each year, our staff becomes more effective, and each year we’re able to refine our expectations more which makes for a safer and more enjoyable experience for our students.”

Qwuloolt Estuary will pay dividends for generations to come

W

ith a couple of shovels on a beautiful August morning, a two decades-old vision moved a whole lot closer to reality.

That vision, to restore historic tidal flows back to the 400-acre Qwuloolt Estuary spread across the city of Marysville and Tulalip Tribes lands, will bring an environmental and economic restoration that will pay dividends for generations to come. When complete, the Qwuloolt (kwoo-LOOLT) Estuary Restoration Project will be the largest tidal marsh restoration project ever completed in our state.

With trucks rolling through town to and from the project site southeast of downtown Marysville, we would like to take the opportunity to tell you a bit more about the project and how our communities will benefit when it’s completed.

More than 100 years ago, farmers diked and drained the estuary to create new arable lands. The wetlands, once a vital ecosystem for fish, birds and plant life, dried up. Now, dozens of city, tribal, state and federal partners have joined community volunteers and nonprofits to roll back the damage.

GUEST OPINION REP. RICK LARSEN

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

Restoring the wetlands requires an integrated approach. That includes small-scale efforts like replanting native plants along the shoreline, and big-scale efforts like filling in drainage ditches and building new levees.

When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers breaches the current levees along Ebey Slough next year, the marsh topography and tidal channels will be restored to their historic natural conditions.

The restored habitat will be a huge boon to wildlife.

The Qwuloolt will once again be a flourishing breeding environment for endangered Chinook salmon, bull trout, steelhead trout, coho salmon, cutthroat trout and

GUEST OPINION BECKY BERG mendable. Cascade Elementary showed significant gains in the percentage of students with special needs and bilingual students meeting math standard in grades 3 and 4, Quil Ceda and Tulalip Elementary Schools showed gains in both reading and math, and The Academy of Construction and Engineering High School showed gains in writing. These are just a few of the bright spots across the district.

A major emphasis of our work this year will be in understanding and implementing our new teacher and principal evaluation systems, nicknamed “TPEP” (Teacher and Principal Evaluation Pilot). The state of Washington recently passed a law to create a new evaluation system that requires a much more specific set of standards and expectations for teacher and principal performance. It requires many more hours of observation and meeting time for principals with teachers, as well as principals with their own supervisors. It also factors in student growth data into the evaluation as a legal mandate.

The safest ride to school

rlington Public Schools operates a fleet of 50 buses, to travel an average 3,347 miles each day to transport 2,040 students from the far reaches of our district: north to the Skagit County line, west past Silvana, east two thirds of the way to Darrington, and south to Getchel Road.

Nationwide, school buses are part of the biggest transportation system in the country transporting 10 billion children daily. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that school buses reduce private auto transportation by 17.3 million cars a year in our nation saving 2.3 billion gallons of fuel. The number one reason to ride a school bus is safety. According to the NHTSA, schools buses are the

GUEST OPINION CHERYL POWER safest means of transportation to school.

The safety of our riders begins at the bus stop. Bus stops are chosen for student safety. Along busy country roads, bus stops are placed at the ends of driveways and intersecting streets.

This may be frustrating for motorist but is necessary where a safe walking path is not available. In urban areas, bus stops are placed throughout neighborhoods where there is plenty of room for students to safely

stand and wait for the bus. At bus stops, students are required to stay 10 feet back from the roadway. Our bus drivers educate students on the proper procedures for staying safe while waiting for the bus.

The next step in student safety is the proper loading and unloading of children. Bus drivers are monitoring potential hazards as they approach each stop. The drivers train the students to wait for their hand signal before approaching the bus and loading. This is done for children who are crossing a street or loading door side.

When the driver is certain that all traffic is stopped and it is safe for the student to climb on the bus, the driver signals the chilSEE POWER, PAGE 5

This project isn’t just about protecting the environment. It’s about protecting our economy. For hundreds of years, people of this region have depended on a thriving fish population for food and trade. When restored, the Qwuloolt Estuary will become transitional habitat for juvenile salmon preparing for their journey into the ocean. Restoring these 400 acres of habitat will help restore the fish population throughout the Puget Sound and in the ocean off of the Pacific Northwest.

And you’ll have a chance to see it all yourself. One of the best parts about the project is that the public will be able to access the estuary.

The city of Marysville is constructing an interpretive trail system through the Qwuloolt that will open this fall, enhancing the neighborhoods sur-

BERG FROM PAGE 4 As you may imagine, this is a significant change to the evaluation process, and therefore a change to “business as usual” for the role of the principal. Our principals currently manage all aspects of the daily operations of their school buildings and lead learning improvement efforts and professional development for staff. With this new evaluation system, you may see less of them in lunchroom supervision or out at the buses in the afternoon. They may instead be in classrooms observing teachers, or meeting and conferring with teachers concerning student learning. You may then see other adults assuming some of those other duties. Each principal will be working with the district and with staff to determine support needed to ensure that we have safe and orderly schools. This commitment does not change.

However, we want you to know that this is happening as the principal’s shift their roles. We will all be

rounding the wetlands. Starting from the trailhead at Ebey Waterfront Park downtown, the 3-mile round-trip trail of mostly packed gravel with some paved sections will follow the scenic banks of Ebey Slough into the estuary.

And students will be able to witness the habitat restoration firsthand, giving them a valuable tool to learn about how we interact with the ecosystems around us.

The area will also provide public access for passive recreation such as kayaking, canoeing and even some boating at high tide.

We won’t see all the benefits of this restoration overnight. It’s going to take a few more years of hard work, and many more for wildlife to return in great numbers.

Qwuloolt means “great marsh” in the Tulalip Tribes’ Lushootseed language.

Thanks to the dedicated work of so many in this local, state and federal partnership, we are taking a big step to once again making this estuary great.

learning together how to make these transitions, and ensure the same level of quality for our students along the way.

Although the legislature implemented this law and new system, a tremendous amount of detail was left up to each of the 295 school districts in our state to work out at the local level. Therefore, we have worked together with our teachers, principals and district leaders to create a plan to address the details of this new system. During the past year, staff worked on the beginning stages of implementing this new evaluation process. This work carries on this year as more than a third of our teachers received training with their principals in August, and will continue to implement the process over the course of the 2013-14 school year. By 2015-16, all classroom teachers and principals will be evaluated using this new system. If you would like more information about this new system, go to http://tpep-wa.org/abouttpep/faqs/#background, or http://tpep-wa.org/themodel.

This kind of dramatic change is never easy. It is difficult for any system to change, and sometimes we are impatient with ourselves. We like to have everything ‘perfect’ before we implement something. However, in our world of rapid change, and with current learning needs of our students to be fully equipped for this world, we cannot wait. As I write this, I am reminded of the following quote by Max Dupree when I look at our work this year, “We cannot become who we want to be by remaining who we are.” Thank you in advance for your support and understanding as we “become who we want to be” — and improve our work and effectiveness on behalf of every one of our students.

Because, in the end, it is all about them.

All of the best to each of you.

Bus drivers work with students to ensure that they remain safely seated until they arrive at their destination. When buses are stopped at railroad crossings, the entire bus is silenced (no one talks, fans, heaters and radios are silenced), the driver opens their window and the door to use their sight and hearing to ensure no trains are coming. These steps are all critical to keep our riders safe.

Our drivers have been trained by our district and licensed by the state. In addition to their initial training and licensing, all bus drivers receive supplemental training at the start of each school year. This year, our drivers received training in student management, bullying, vehicle accident procedures and changes to laws and regulations.

These trainings are provided by the state for all school bus drivers.

In addition to their

training and licensing requirements, bus drivers are required to pass a physical examination by a physician, maintain first-aid certification, and are subject to both preemployment drug and random drug testing and alcohol testing. School bus drivers also undergo agility and lifting tests each year to demonstrate that they have the ability to lead and assist children in evacuating a school bus in an emergency.

Our three mechanics are dedicated to keeping our school buses properly maintained and safe. Each year the Washington State Patrol (WSP) conducts two thorough evaluations of our bus fleet. Each bus is placed on a lift while WSP Commercial Vehicle Officers inspect brakes, bearings, steering, exhaust, chassis, lights, and emergency equipment as well as road test the breaks. Our buses have an outstanding inspection record. We recently received recognition from State School Superintendent Randy Dorn and Washington State Patrol Chief John R. Batiste for our outstand-

ing inspection reports.

Our mechanics and drivers work together to ensure that our buses are safe to transport children.

Our safety measures go beyond establishing safe stops, training our drivers and maintaining our fleet. Bus drivers train their riders to stay safely seated, treat other riders with respect and what to do in an emergency situation. Students are taught how to use the two-way radio, emergency brakes, fire extinguisher and all of the emergency exits.

Each year students participate in three school bus evacuation drills. In these drills students assist each other in using an emergency exit.

Our Transportation Departments mission is to “Safely transport our students in a caring and professional manor.”

We transport the most “Precious Cargo” every day and take pride in what we do.

Snohomish County may get 35 marijuana shops

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Up to 35 legal marijuana retail stores could open up in Snohomish County according to proposed supplemental rules approved for filing

by the Washington State Liquor Control Board on Wednesday, Sept. 4.

Initiative 502, legalizing recreational marijuana use by adults, was passed by voters last November, and the Board

was given the authority to set limits on the number of marijuana retail outlets.

Using population data as well as adult consumption data supplied by the state’s marijuana consultant — BOTEC Analysis Corporation — the WSLCB allocated a maximum of 334 outlets statewide, according to a WSLCB release. The

most populous cities within the county are allocated a proportionate number of stores and at-large stores available to serve other areas of the county.

Marysville is the second largest city in Snohomish County, with a population of more than 60,000, and is set to allow three stores. Arlington, with a population just under

“I chose EvCC.” — Sue Gammell

18,000 is allocated one retail outlet. Everett is allotted five stores, while unincorporated Snohomish County is set to allow 16.

“We are following this announcement, and we had our city attorney attend the hearings that the Liquor Control Board had locally,” said Gloria Hirashima, Marysville’s chief administrative officer. “We are going to absorb all the information that is coming out at the moment. The city is considering a moratorium, in large part to process all this information and identify what an appropriate response is. There has been a lot of information, considering the federal response issued a few days ago.”

On Aug. 30, the Justice Department said it wouldn’t be challenging Washington’s laws on legal marijuana and would focus on large-scale drug trafficking, drugged driving and keeping children away from marijuana.

“We were glad to get some sort of response from the federal government,” said Hirashima. “They won’t pursue it. Their view is that it is still illegal but they have more important priorities.

It’s not truly definitive — it would take a change in federal stance to make it definitive.

But at least it’s something.”

The city of Marysville is keeping a close eye on the developing rules and will focus on making a decision after they have as much information as possible.

“We are watching to see what happens with the rules,” said Hirashima. “We did some mapping with the prohibitions of retail establishments and what that looks like for Marysville. We are trying to establish what the city’s position is going to be on these retail outlets and how they locate them. In terms of when we determine final regulations, it will likely be after the WSLCB holds the new hearings.”

Marysville hosted a moratorium hearing on Sept. 9 at 7 p.m., though it was after our press deadline.

“It will not establish final rules — the intent of the moratorium is to establish regulations,” said Hirashima, who noted that Marysville is interacting with other cities on how best to respond.

“We are monitoring how Everett is responding, because Everett has already started a process in terms of these regulations,” said Hirashima.

“Every city is dealing with the same thing and there are a lot of comparisons being made between cities in terms of how to approach this. We are consulting other cities and monitoring the activities of cities in this area.”

Arlington officials are also still processing the new information.

“We haven’t talked officially with the Council on this,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert. “Arlington will be allotted one store and no more than that. We are working on the regulations and what they will be, so it’s still pretty early to tell, but it will definitely be on our radar screen.”

Stores are required to be at least 1,000 feet from an elementary or secondary school, playground, recreation center or facility, child care center, public park, public transit center, library or arcade where admission is not restricted to those age 21 and older.

The WSLCB will host public hearings on the proposed rules on Wednesday, Oct. 9, with times and locations to be posted on their website at www.liq.wa.gov.

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the board will adopt or reject the new rules and, if adopted, they will become effective on Nov. 16. For more information on the moratorium or your city’s updated response, visit www.marysvillewa.gov or www.arlingtonwa.gov.

tinue to advance, rather than just holding our ground.”

Ruff and Williams’ calls for more monitoring were joined by those of Kurt Nelson, environmental division manager for the Tulalip Tribes, and salmonoid enhancement scientist Michael Crewson.

“We need money to support the infrastructure to make these projects happen,” Ruff said.

“The environment has changed so rapidly that we don’t just need more monitoring, but new monitoring systems,” Williams said.

“Before Qwuloolt, we’d done 40 years of habitat restoration, but without the proper monitoring, we had no idea how effective any of it was,” Nelson said. “We need to direct our monies based on what works and what doesn’t.”

Ray Fryberg Sr., fish and wildlife director for the Tulalip Tribes, asserted the impacts of not only global warming and a lack of enforcement on the Tribes’ efforts to rebuild their salmon stocks, but also held seals and sea lions accountable for eating half their brood stock before they can even make it to the Columbia Rover.

“We have a federally protected marine mammal eating up one of our endangered species,” Fryberg said.

“I know nobody wants to say that we need to cull those seals, but they don’t migrate anymore, and as opposed to the Endangered Species Act, once a marine mammal receives federally protected status, it never comes off.”

TULALIP — U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen toured through the Tulalip Tribes’ fisheries facilities on the afternoon of Wednesday, Sept. 4, to uphold the legacy of former U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, who retired this year.

“Norm’s absence left a gap in fish issues for the state, so I decided to learn more about it,” Larsen told the Tulalip Tribal Board of Directors prior to his tour. “Well, it was more that Norm told me last year, ‘You need to learn more about this,’” he laughed.

“We appreciate you stepping up for Norm,” Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. said. “We need more champions.”

While Larsen cited the Tulalip Tribes’ “great body of knowledge” on salmon species and their histories, Sheldon described the history of the Tulalip Tribes’ relationship with salmon as a key aspect of their culture.

“We pay close attention to the waters that drain into Tulalip Bay before they get here,” Tulalip Tribal Board member Glen Gobin said.

“It’s so connected to everything we do.”

Tulalip Tribal Board Vice Chair Deborah Parker recalled how her grandmother had to save up airfare to make the trip to defend the Tribes’ treaty fishing rights, and while she herself does not fish, she cherishes salmon as one of the Tribes’ traditional foods.

“The Tribes didn’t have any money back then, but she spent the money for a

plane ticket to protect our salmon,” Parker said. “As a mother myself, I enjoy having salmon on my table, and having it as part of our winter ceremonies. It’s important that we remember where we came from, because our Tribal leaders put forth a lot of energy to get us here.”

Terry Williams, the fisheries and natural resources commissioner for the Tulalip Tribes, reported that the level of fish recovery that should be yielded by the past seven years and $50 million of fish programs is being largely canceled out by the pace of development.

“So many of the laws are either not harmonized or are in opposition to one another,” Williams said. “One might say that these fish shall be protected, while another might make it optional. Our treaties are at risk.”

Williams explained that the Tulalip and other Native American tribes are building alliances to get the state Legislature to harmonize its language, while Snohomish Basin Capital Program Coordinator Morgan Ruff pointed out to Larsen that half of Puget Sound’s 14 watersheds fall under his purview.

“The state is investing $100 million in salmon recovery this year, with $5 million of it going toward Snohomish Basin projects including the Qwuloolt Estuary and Smith Island,” Ruff said. “That’s a substantial investment by the state, so we’d like to see it matched by the federal government.

Carrie Snow shows off her wares in the antique store of the Mystic Mountain Nursery in Oso.

Michael Thorn, owner of Marysville Tobacco Joe’s, credits electronic cigarettes with helping to reduce even his own smoking habit.

Mystic Mountain Nursery offers Tobacco Joe’s offers ‘Vaporland’ plants, gifts, bed & breakfast

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Tobacco Joe’s has had a tumultuous history since it first opened its doors in 2011.

Barely a year after Michael Thorn began the business as a roll-your-own tobacco establishment, state and federal legislation governing the roll-your-own tobacco machines compelled him to close last summer, until he found a new market to cater to and reopened the store near the start of this year.

On April 15, Thorn added a new department to Marysville Tobacco Joe’s, called “Vaporland,” to offer a sampling bar for electronic cigarette consumers, whom he sees as even more of a growing consumer base than roll-your-own tobacco enthusiasts were, but he’s again anxious about how federal legislation might impact his business.

“Last time, it was Big Tobacco, lobbying to tie up the use of the roll-yourown machines,” Thorn said.

“This time, the sleeping giant is Big Pharmaceutical, because their preference would be that e-cigarettes be prescribed by doctors, so that they can charge more money for it.”

Thorn proudly touted Vaporland’s sample selection of more than 25 flavors, in nicotine strengths of 24, 18, 12, 6 and even zero milligrams, made by Marysville Tobacco Joe’s sister company Twilight.

“In less than the first two months of having our vapor bar open, our sales had grown to almost the same as they were a year ago, prior to losing the roll-yourown machines,” Thorn said.

“Almost all of our customers have credited e-cigarettes with helping them to cut back substantially on their smoking habits, or even to quit altogether.”

While Thorn cited the

absence of tar and secondhand smoke as among e-cigarettes’ health benefits relative to regular cigarettes, Dr. Gary Goldbaum of the Snohomish Health District emphasized that certain risks do remain with e-cigarettes, which may possess health hazards that have yet to be discovered.

“They’ve only been around for a few years, so we’re still waiting on a lot of the science,” Goldbaum said. “We don’t have any local regulations specific to e-cigarettes because we need to give them a careful review. It’s likely that they’ll prove to be far safer than regular cigarettes, but we still don’t want to promote them, because we’re medical professionals and our goal is to reduce harm, so we don’t want to encourage people to take up any kind of smoking. Whether it’s an e-cigarette or a regular cigarette, it’s designed to be a nicotine delivery system, and nicotine is a poison.”

OSO — When Carrie and Chuck Snow moved to Oso in the fall of 1993, the couple had no idea that their restoration of the farmhouse they purchased in the valley between the mountains would become the basis for a cottage industry.

In 1997, the Snows opened the Mystic Mountain Nursery at their refurbished home, and kept it running until 2004, when they went on to pursue other career options, but when Chuck was injured in an auto accident, Carrie decided she would start up the plant nursery and antique gift store again.

The Mystic Mountain Nursery reopened on May 1 of this year, and while Carrie Snow is still proud of her selection of plants and antiques, she wants to let travelers through the area know about her next service, which will be the opening of a bed and breakfast this fall.

rustically appointed common area, complete with the more modern feature of a flatscreen TV. “It’s ideal for a couple or a small family to stay the night,” said Snow, who had run a bed and breakfast out of one of the property’s other buildings during the Mystic Mountain Nursery’s first run. “And in the morning, they’ll be served a full breakfast made from scratch.”

In addition to the availability of any number of nearby outdoor activities, Snow touted the host of animals in pens on site to entertain the kids — from turkeys, peacocks and emus to miniature goats, donkeys and horses — and promised visitors a pumpkin patch, with surrey rides and cider cookies, from Oct. 1-31.

January and March, because that’s when it’s nasty up here and no one will want to come, but we’ll use that time and space to grow our plants,” said Snow, who noted that she limited this year’s crop to annuals, perennials and herbs because they opened so late in the spring, but added that she plans to include fruit trees, shrubs and rhododendrons in next year’s crop. “Our antique store carries a mix of furniture, jewelry and glassware from the 1920s on up, as well as gourmet foods, children’s books, candles and seeds.

We’re always open to carrying more food lines.”

The antique store is still being restored to more closely resemble a building dating back to the 1800s, while the bed and breakfast that’s set to open on Oct. 1 will boast two freshly refurbished bedrooms with similarly authentic period decor — one with a kingsized bed, and the other with two three-quarters-sized beds and a rollaway bed — leading out into a spacious and

Chamber plans Black and White Gala

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Those who want to attend the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s 10th annual Black & White Gala at the Medallion Hotel on Saturday, Sept. 21, only have until Tuesday, Sept. 17, to RSVP for the event.

Chamber Vice President Julie Morse aims to generate as much as $15,000 through this year’s fundraising gala,

after last year’s event raised close to $10,000.

“The economy and attendance are the two key factors in determining how well a fundraiser will do, I think,” Morse said. “When people have extra money, they’re more likely to spend it, and last year alone, I think we saw a sign of an absolutely tremendous change in the economy, in terms of people’s generosity. Between this and the builders who are building again, many of whom hadn’t

Morse promised that those who do purchase $65 tickets in advance (none will be available at the door) will be treated to an elegant evening of served plate dinners with a champagne reception and light entertainment, in addition to silent and live auctions, the latter emceed by Kelly Lee and offering trips to Ocean Shores and Mexico.

“It’s black tie optional, and women are welcome to wear cocktail dresses, but this is one of the few events in Arlington that allows people to really dress up,” Morse said.

“Please come out to support this event, since the money you spend will go right back into the community.”

The champagne reception and silent auction will run from 5:30-6:30 p.m., and the live entertainment will coincide with the dinner by starting at 7 p.m. From there, the live auction will kick off at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for a raffle for an 16 GB WiFi iPad 2 Tablet are $10 at the Chamber offices at 4126-B 172nd St. NE in Arlington. For more information, please call the Chamber offices at 360-659-5453 or email manager@arlingtonsmokeypointchamber.com.

Greyhall Hypnotherapy opens in Smokey Point

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Certified hypnotherapist Scott Whippo was welcomed to the community during a ribbon-cutting on Saturday, Aug. 24, by Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert at the office for his new practice, Greyhall Hypnotherapy, which shares space with the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce offices.

Whippo had previously provided his hypnotherapy services to friends and other clients for the past couple of years, in areas ranging from weight loss to sports performance and even test improvement, all of which he identified as sharing a common factor.

“It’s about stress reduction,” Whippo said. “My youngest son Nicholai was stressed about a math test for Western Washington University, but with my help, he blew it out of the water.”

Whippo hastened to add that all hypnosis is essen-

tially self-hypnosis, and that he merely guides his patients through the process of reaching the places where they want to be.

“There are reasons why we overeat, or engage in other behaviors, that we don’t really think about,” Whippo said. “What I do is bring you into contact with those reasons, so that when you understand why you’re doing something, you can negate it.”

Likewise, Whippo identified certain difficulties in sports performance as stemming from negative emotional states that prevent athletes from believing in themselves and achieving their full potential.

“If you try too hard, you’ll just stress yourself out more and set yourself up for failure, so the key is to just relax and enjoy and understand what you’re doing,” Whippo said. “What I provide is the trigger that lets you realize what you’re capable of doing.”

In Whippo’s experience, 10 percent of the population

is extremely susceptible to hypnotic suggestion, while another 10 percent is very difficult to get through to, so the remaining 80 percent falls somewhere in the middle.

“I feel really lucky to be here,” Whippo said of the offices that he and fellow Greyhall certified hypnotherapist Gabriele Guenther will share with the Chamber.

“Everybody comes to the Chamber, so it’s really good of them to help us set up here.”

“I’ve know Scott for quite some time,” said Tolbert, who described Whippo as active in his community on behalf of others. “His offices are conveniently located, and it’s great that he can help people make life adjustments.”

Greyhall Hypnotherapy is located at 4126-B 172nd St. NE in Arlington, and is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays by appointment.

Keeping kids safe as they head back to school

With the start of the new school year comes more children crossing the street, and both state and local-level safety experts are offering motorists and parents tips to

make sure no one gets hurt on the way to school.

According to the Washington State Department of Transportation, 521 pedestrians aged 19 years

and younger were injured in collisions, and seven were killed, in the state of Washington during 2011.

With more than 1.1 million Washington children heading back to class this month, the Washington State Chapter of AAA is urging drivers to be aware of increased child pedestrian activity, and to be extra-cautious when backing out of driveways and parking spots in school zones and neighborhoods, especially during the morning and afternoon hours.

“As schools become more active with children, it is critical that drivers take extra precaution and adhere to the 20-mile-perhour speed limit in school

zones,” said Jennifer Cook, senior manager of corporate communications for AAA Washington. “The afternoon hours are particularly dangerous, with more than onefourth of child pedestrian fatalities occurring between 3-7 p.m. during the last decade.”

Arlington Police Officer Seth McKinney, who serves at the School Resource Officer for the Arlington School District, recently offered readers of the city of Arlington’s e-newsletter some back-to-school advice which concurred with that of AAA, cautioning motorists to slow down not only for school zones and crosswalks, but also for changing weather conditions and areas

of limited visibility.

“The daylight will grow shorter quickly, and students will find themselves in the dark, walking to and from school or driving in the dark,” McKinney wrote for the Aug. 30 e-newsletter.

“Remember, you are required to have your headlights on a half-hour after sunset and a half-hour before sunrise.

The safest is to always travel with your headlights on.”

“We will be spending a great deal of time conducting traffic enforcement and writing tickets in our school zones, both before and after school,” said Marysville Police Officer Dave White, who serves as one of the Marysville School District’s two School Resource Officers, along with Chris Sutherland.

“The commute to and from school is always of concern as it puts walking students and moving vehicles in very close proximity, which by its very nature is problematic,” Marysville Police Cmdr.

Robb Lamoureux said.

AAA is strongly encouraging motorists to be on the lookout for AAA School Safety Patrollers — a clear sign that a driver is approaching a school zone — and to follow these four tips: n Slow down and obey Washington state’s 20-mileper-hour speed limit in school zones. According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, a pedestrian is nearly two-thirds less likely to be killed when struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 miles per hour, compared to a pedestrian struck by a vehicle traveling 30 miles per hour. n Eliminate distractions.

Sometimes kids dart into the road unexpectedly. Research shows that taking your eyes off the road for just two seconds doubles the chances of crashing. Avoid this risk by storing cell phones out of reach to prevent texting, calling or emailing while driving. n Come to a complete stop. Research shows that more than one-third of drivers roll through stop signs in school zones or neighborhoods. Always come to a complete stop, and check for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks before proceeding. n Plan for extra time. With school in session, there are more child pedestrians and children riding bicycles on streets and sidewalks. Drive slowly and choose alternate routes to avoid school zones if possible.

McKinney also noted that the fall weather will bring

“As a parent, it is that time again to have conversations with your children about the appropriate places to cross the street, and what to look for, along with what to do if a stranger approaches your child,” said McKinney, who added that children who are now old enough to drive will need their own set of conversations with parents, about driving in adverse weather conditions and being prepared. “Some of those drivers have recently received their driver’s licenses and will feel inclined to give rides to friends, to and from school, though they may still be under the graduated driver’s license restrictions. Remind your young drivers of the laws and hold them accountable for their actions, both positive and negative.”

In turn, both of the School Resource Officers for Marysville have pledged to do all that they can to help protect the community’s children, and look forward to interacting with students and school staff members again in the new school year.

“The security of our schools and safety of our students is our highest priority as School Resource Officers,” Sutherland said. “It is important we continue to develop relationships with these kids as it provides us with opportunities to mentor students and role-model for them.”

Car, motorcycle show raises funds to help homeless

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The parking lot of the Haggen Food & Pharmacy in Arlington was a bit more crowded than usual on Saturday, Aug. 24, as the second annual area car and motorcycle show to help raise funds for Volunteers of America’s Ending Homelessness program drew 72 registered entrants and at least 300 attendees during its six hours.

Michelle Fogus, communications and marketing manager for Volunteers of America of Western Washington, estimated that the show netted slightly less than $4,500 for the organization’s homelessness prevention efforts, while Sharon Paskewitz, director of operations for basic needs and services for Volunteers of America of Western Washington, thanked the Arlington Haggen grocery store for hosting the event for the first time this year.

“We moved it to the Haggen parking lot to accommodate a lot more people,” Paskewitz said.

“Haggen has been a great

partner, and we’re so happy to work with them on this.”

Although Paskewitz had hoped for closer to 100 car and motorcycle owners to enter this year’s show, she remained impressed with the turnout that the event generated in spite of the day’s intermittent drizzle.

“The show didn’t officially start until 9 a.m., but by 8 a.m., we already had 35 cars here, even with the rain coming down,” said Paskewitz, who credited Gayle Olthoff with recruiting participants for this year’s car and motorcycle show by blanketing other regional car and motorcycle shows with promotion for this event since the start of May. “Thanks to her and all of our other supporters, we more than doubled our count of 30 cars and motorcycles from last year’s show.”

Of the diverse array of vintage cars, muscle cars, trucks and motorcycles on display, the automobiles of the mid-1950s were well-represented. Just as Arlington’s Iris and Leroy Jensen accessorized their 1955 Ford Crown Victoria with a drive-up meal tray, so did Woodinville’s Pam and

Sam Pauley complement their 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air with a drive-in movie theater speaker. Arlington’s Jeff Phebus went in a different direction with his 1956 Studebaker, retrofitting it into a vintage-style police car as a tribute to the careers that he and his sons have held in law enforcement.

“I always wanted a Crown Vic, but I never had one growing up,” said Leroy Jensen, who joined his wife in wearing red hot-rodders’ jackets to match her red 1950s-style poodle skirt.

“This is a remake of a car I went hot-rodding in during high school in the 1970s,” Sam Pauley said.

“I sold it when I went to Vietnam, and I never got it back.”

Arlington’s Craig Johnson had aspirations more ambitious than merely recreating the past, when he’d restored the 1933 Ford two-door sedan that he brought to the Aug. 24 show.

“The top was ruined, so I just took it clean off,” said Johnson, who also souped up his rig by installing a 393 stroker engine and paying for a unique paint job.

“The way they achieved the

“The proceeds from this show will benefit families

facing the challenges of homelessness,” Paskewitz said. “We work with them as much as we can to help them become self-sufficient, but that’s harder to do when all our units are already full.”

According to Paskewitz, Volunteers of America is able to “graduate out” an average of 100 families each

year from the 40 transitional housing units that are available in Snohomish County, but the organization is forced to turn away hundreds more low- and no-income families each month.

Highland Christian School’s garage sale raises funds for move

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Before Highland Christian School could start the first day of school for the 2013-14 school year on Wednesday, Sept. 4, which was also its first day of school at its new Arlington and Marysville locations, it had to move the last of its gear out of

its former location at the old Arlington High School building on French Avenue.

To that end, the front steps and lawn of the old Arlington High School building became a sprawl of old books, clothes, furniture, office supplies and anything else that couldn’t make the move to the two new temporary homes for Highland

Christian School, as part of a six-hour garage sale on Saturday, Aug. 24, during which shoppers could also duck their heads inside the building to browse through computer equipment and other technology that garage sale organizers preferred not to expose to the elements.

That foresight wound up saving the electronics

indoors from the same fate that befell the boxes of used goods outdoors, when rainfall rendered many of those items unsellable.

“All the clothing was still okay, so everything of the clothes that we didn’t sell that day, we were still able to donate to Helping Hands of Arlington,” said Julie Kirschenbaum, a parent and

volunteer with Highland Christian School, who hawked the school’s wares to any and all passersby within earshot of its sidewalks that day. “All the books that got rained on had to go to the dump, though.”

In spite of this loss, Highland Christian School Board member Steve Cloutier deemed the garage

sale a better success than they could have hoped for, and echoed Kirschenbaum’s thanks to Helping Hands for their assistance.

“It exceeded our expectations, and we appreciate the financial assistance of the community in helping us get so much done in just one day,” said Cloutier, who estimated that the garage sale raised more than $1,000, while Kirschenbaum suspected it could have generated as much as $1,300, all of which went toward helping Highland Christian School cover the costs of its move. “We had to be out of the old building by Aug. 31, which was one reason why this was so necessary. The Arlington School District struggled with the feasibility of an earthquake-ready retrofit for the upper floors that we occupied, but in the end, they just couldn’t make it work.”

Cloutier nonetheless expressed his gratitude not only to the Arlington School District, but also to the Arlington Assembly of God Church, which stepped up to offer its facilities for Highland Christian School’s K-5 students, and the Cascade Christian Reformed Church of Marysville, which did the same for the school’s grades 6-12.

“These are great new facilities for our students,” Cloutier said. “They’re only temporary, until we can hopefully find a new home for all of our students at one site, but they’re still really good facilities. I can’t say enough about how the whole community has stepped up to help us out throughout our relocation. Dozens of people who aren’t even connected to the school in any way have shown up to lend a hand for our moves and haul stuff off for us.”

How To

Now in Marysville, WA, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives.

Once And For All...

Without Drugs, Shots, or Surgery

Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions?

• Arthritis • Knee pain • Cartilage damage

• ‘Bone-on-bone’ • Tendonitis • Bursitis

• Crunching and popping sounds

Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as you used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to.

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away!

My name is Dr. Doron Kantor, owner of Chirocare Wellness and Massage.

Finally, An Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery

The Cold Laser is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure, often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. It offers non-invasive treatment to promote healing for those who suffer from pain in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated with chronic knee pain.

This same laser is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.

This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury damage. This leading edge technology has an impressive success rate of returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life.

Patients treated with the Cold Laser often show a higher level of function, both during and after the treatment period. The therapeutic laser provides a tremendous alternative for those facing surgery.

Lady Eagles volleyball back on the court

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — It’s time for the Eagles’ volleyball season to begin and with a number of returning varsity athletes plus a crop of talented newcomers, expectations are set high for this season.

“The first week is all about getting together as a team — getting the setters tuned in with the hitters and really good communication going,” said head coach Chad Palmiter. “I am really proud of what these girls accomplished in the off-season. They played for a number of different clubs and now we just have to come together as one unit.”

During the first few weeks of practice, Palmiter was impressed to find a renewed team spirit and better volleyball knowledge, and hopes to channel that into a successful year.

“We talked about the fact that

we do look better — with our volleyball knowledge and skills — but that’s just flashes of brilliance.

There’s no guarantee that it will translate into wins — so we are raising the intensity during practive to build consistency. We are good and what’s going to make us great is doing those things over and over again.”

The Eagles returned five players — captains Brooke Johnson and Audrey Frolich, Amy Revelle, Shelby Shackelford and Anna Soltero. Newcomers include starting libero Haley Gonzales, who was an outside hitter on Arlington’s junior varsity team last year.

“Haley is definitely someone to watch out for. She worked on her passing a lot and becoming really consistent,” said Palmiter. “She one of those girls who realized, ‘I’m not getting any taller’ and focused on passing and speed and she has earned her spot through

hard work.”

The Eagles welcome the presence of Audrey Randles as well, a 6-foot-2 sophomore.

“We expect her to make us pretty strong on blocking,” said Palmiter. “It’s definitely nice having someone who can put down hits.”

The Eagles’ main goal for this season is simply improvement.

“Last year we lost the play in to districts,” said Palmiter. “We want to definitely get to districts this year and double our wins from last season.”

And Palmiter thinks the team has a shot, especially considering how much they have improved over last season.

“We have a new and consistent team,” he said. “They just keep setting the bar higher and increasing their expectations.”

Lakewood/Arlington bikers host Sept. 15 ride

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — It is Washington’s fourth year offering mountain biking to high school and middle school students and while the season doesn’t start until January, local student riders are already gearing up for the 2014 mountain bike season by getting involved in community events, trail work and, of course, riding with friends.

During 2013, 16 students from Arlington, Lakewood and Burlington high schools, as well as Post Middle School, participated on the Lakewood and Arlington Composite Mountain Bike teams. Statewide, 170 students represented 55 schools and 90 coaches volunteered their time to work with the athletes, and this year the league promises to get even bigger.

The Washington Student League is offering Meet the League rides in September and October for students in grades 7-12, parents, school administrators and others interested in getting involved with the league. All skill, experience, and fitness levels are welcome and the rides are free. The Lakewood/Arlington/ Burlington High School Mountain Bike Team will be hosting a ride at Little Mountain in Mount Vernon on Sunday, Sept. 15, to introduce new riders to the team.

“It is always fun to ride the trails we have worked on,” said

“The kids on our team are taught the importance of building sustainable trails, trail etiquette, and advocacy amongst the different groups.”

Heidi Klippert, Coach, Arlington/Lakewood Mountain bike team Coach Heidi Klippert. “And we have chosen the Little Mountain venue for that purpose.”

The athletes work consistently to help maintain the Little Mountain trails and plan to have a showing at the Mount Vernon Trail Builders trail day on Sept.

14. The city of Mount Vernon’s support of the Little Mountain multi-user trails has impacted the community — riders, hikers and even trail runners who come from all over to use the trails that the Mount Vernon Trail Builders maintain.

“The kids on our team are taught the importance of building sustainable trails, trail etiquette, and advocacy amongst the different user groups,” said Klippert.

“Seeing the kids working on the trails and giving back to the community is exciting.”

Pilchuck Mountain Biker Club president and team coach Gary Holboy also commented on the volunteer hours spent by the Lakewood/Arlington teams as they worked for two rainy days on some of PMBC’s trails last year.

“It was heartwarming to see how many kids were outside working in the cold and rain,”

he said.

The Pilchuck Mountain Bikers Club is a grassroots organization formed primarily to represent mountain bikers who ride

on local area trails in North Snohomish County. Students from the Arlington and Lakewood Mountain Bike clubs are members of the local PMBC, in addition to riding for the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance.

The regular mountain biking season runs from January to May, but the Lakewood and Arlington teams are always looking for new riders. For more information contact Coach Heidi Klippert at

arlington@washingtonleague.org.

“The Arlington/Lakewood/ Burlington Mountain Bike Team is excited for this upcoming year and is grateful to the support of their families and team sponsors Sports Buzz Coffee, Arlington Velo Sports, Silvana Firefighters Association, Everett Bone and Joint, and Expressive Fit Yoga,” she said. “Get on that bike and ride!”

‘Taste of Washington’ benefits Kids’ Kloset

More than 70 people attend annual event which raised more than $25,000

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The ninth annual “Taste of Washington” fundraiser for the Arlington-based Kids’ Kloset returned to the home of John and Kimberly Meno, as the event’s 70-plus attendees donated through live and silent auctions on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 24.

Kids’ Kloset Board President Julie Morse reported that the auctions raised a gross of more than $25,000, with Kelly Lee of the Arlingtonbased Lee Auctioneering and Consulting once again stepping into the role of the zany auctioneer.

“Last year, we had 42 attendees and generated about $17,000,” Morse said.

“Both the improved economy and the increased attendance really helped us this year, I think, and I’d estimate that at least 25 percent of our attendees had

never attended the event before.”

Kids’ Kloset co-founder Kimberly Meno expressed her gratitude to the community for its generosity, which she noted has already been put to good use, since Kids’ Kloset started scheduling appointments with families in need as soon as the new school year started, and is already booked into October.

“Appointments are confidential, and we try not to schedule back-to-back appointments of families from the same school to ensure their privacy and dignity among their peers,” said Meno, who clarified that Kids’ Kloset serves not only students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches in the Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington school districts, but also their preschool siblings and any student in Early Childhood Education Assistance Programs. “And our volunteers continue to

be the cornerstone of our organization. Anyone with an extra hour or two would receive instant gratification from volunteering at our well-maintained and organized site.”

Meno reiterated that Kids’ Kloset is still operating out of the basement of the old Arlington High School building at 135 S. French Ave., but added that its entrance has moved to the back of the building.

“Just ring the doorbell in the rear,” Meno said. “The Arlington School District has gone above and beyond to accommodate our volunteers and families with safe and secure access.”

As the winter approaches, Meno is especially conscious of the need for more coats, hats and gloves to keep kids from getting too cold.

“Church groups, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls,

sports teams or anyone else looking to do some community service could hold collection drives for gloves, hats and coats for us this fall,” Meno said. “We always run short on cold-weather gear. Community donations continue to be the largest source of clothing items for our students to shop from. Whenever anyone cleans out their closets, we want Kids’ Kloset to be their first thought for where to donate those items.”

In addition to its new drop-off bin at the rear entrance of the old Arlington High School building, Kids’ Kloset has several other drop-off sites, including Julie’s Barbering & Styling, Sunshine Cleaners and Union Bank in downtown Arlington, as well as Ace Equipment Rentals and the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber

SCHOOL FROM PAGE 1 ferred to the Arlington School District from Marysville this year, and is planning on making new friends and learning new skills while attending Post Middle School.

“I’m actually really excited about being in middle school,” said Hedlund. “I’m looking forward to making new friends. I went to Cascade Elementary School in Marysville last year, but we moved to Arlington.”

Although the change in scenery can also mean new unfamiliar curriculum, Hedlund already has an idea

The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe

on what classes will be her favorite.

“I’m most looking forward to my art class. I really love painting,” she said. “And I’m also excited for home ec, because I love cooking and want to learn more about it.”

Children were both excited and nervous as they donned back-to-school clothes and filed through the doors at Eagle Creek Elementary School, greeting new teachers and classmates.

Perhaps even more nervous were their parents.

Rob Morlock stood waiting for his daughter, thirdgrader Haley, to arrive on the school bus and said he was going to miss seeing her every day.

“The bus picked her up and I met her here,” said Morlock. “I don’t know if I like the first day of school — I’m going to miss her. It’s always a tearful time. She was really excited, though.

For a week now, she’s been getting everything ready and double-checking her school supplies.”

Haley is the older sister of Sawyer, a youngster who starts Apple Preschool this week.

Maria Soriano moved recently from Camano Island to Arlington and her daughter is in first grade at Eagle Creek, while her son is just starting kindergarten.

“It’s very exciting for both of them because we moved

here from Camano Island, so it’s their first year here,” she said. “He is most excited for his first day of school.”

Superintendent Dr. Kristine McDuffy rode on a school bus packed with kids, as she does every year, and was joined by Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert.

“It’s just as exciting for us as it is for the kids, and I was thrilled that Mayor Tolbert joined me,” said McDuffy.

“We are very excited for the 2013-14 school year. A lot of great work has gone on behind the scenes to get ready. We’ve done a lot of hiring and adding high quality people to our team. There is so much we want to share.

Our focus is on supporting high performing teams across the organization. We are working in professional learning communities and a major focus is how to support those teams across the district.”

McDuffy anticipates that the final enrollment counts will be a slight increase over where the district was at the end of last year.

“One encouraging data point is that we have twice as many students coming from other school districts,” she said. “We hope that it’s our reputation and the range of options available to students — we’ve really made sure that there is a broad range of options to meet their needs.”

Tolbert was happy to interact with students on their first day of school.

“That was fun. I really enjoyed it,” she said. “Some of the impressions that wowed me were the excitement of kids coming back to school and the amount of parents at the bus stop sending the kids off. With all the pictures and parents waving, it was hard to tell who was more excited. And when we got up to the school, some

of the parents had driven up to meet them when they got off the bus — it’s great to see such family involvement in Arlington’s school district. What was also really impressive to me was the commitment and knowledge of the bus driver. I walked away with a renewed respect for that position, it was really neat. If I had a youngster going into elementary school, I would be really comfortable with the whole experience.”

This school year is expected to be a successful one — a feeling shared across the district.

“I think there is a real sense of optimism that we are on a really great path,” said McDuffy. “Finances have improved, we are focusing on our core work and our ability to add new members to our team. There seems to be an excitement in the air and a real hope for the future.”

Stilly Valley Pioneer Museum plans ‘Pioneer Days’ Sept. 21

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum welcomes visitors to celebrate “Pioneer Days” on the Red Rooster Route from 1-4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21.

The Museum aims to offer a fun day for children of all ages, with hands-on activities including milking a cow, washing clothes, sawing wood, spinning wool, working a 19th-century treadle sewing machine, viewing and playing with oldfashioned toys and games,

writing with a pen and inkwell, making shake shingles, churning butter, grinding wheat, pumping water and much more.

The Museum’s regular exhibits will also be open for viewing, and visitors will have the opportunity to chat with interpreters who have their own stories of the past to tell. The Museum admission for this event is $5 per adult and $2 per child under 12 years of age. Parking is free.

“Our Pioneer Days Festival is a terrific opportunity to experience the rich heritage of the Arlington area with

superb examples of early homesteaders,” said Myrtle Rausch, president of the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association, who added that the Kissing Cousins Alpaca Farm plans to have an alpaca on site. “On display are original tools, artifacts, home goods and farming implements that our ancestors used to start a new life in the Stillaguamish Valley. We encourage families to come out with their children and learn about early pioneer life.

It’s a fun time for children to learn about old medical remedies, how to play music the old-fashioned way, and how

household chores were done in the past.”

The Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum is located at 20722 67th Ave. NE in Arlington and was built by the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association to preserve artifacts of the North and South Forks of the Stillaguamish River Valley, keeping alive the heritage of

the original homesteaders of the area. For more information call 360-435-7289, email stillypioneers@frontier.com or log onto www. stillymuseum.org.

The fifth year of the annual Red Rooster Route will also host a variety of upcoming fall and winter festivals, including the Fall Pumpkin and Corn Maze Festival

19

from Oct. 1-31 at Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze, followed by the Arlington Farmers’ Market Handmade Holiday Indoor Gift Market on Saturday, Dec. 7.

The training develops well-disciplined, highly motivated, physically conditioned students, and helps improve the cadets’ self-confidence, initiative, leadership potential, decision making and collective team cohesion. The cadets receive training in fundamental military skills, Army values, ethics, Warrior ethos, basic rifle marksmanship, small arms tactics, weapons training, drill and ceremony, communications, combat water survival training, rappelling, land navigation and squad-level operations field training.

Army Cadet Whitney M. Lindsay has graduated from the Army ROTC (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps) Leader’s Training Course at Fort Knox, Ky. The four-week course is a leadership internship for cadets that can lead to the ultimate goal of becoming an Army officer. College students experience and examine the Army without incurring an obligation to serve in the Army or ROTC, and are eligible to receive two-year college scholarship offers and attend the Advanced ROTC Course at their college.

Cadets are observed and evaluated during classroom and field training exercises to determine their officer potential in leadership abilities and skills. The cadets are trained to have a sound understanding of traditional

Meet Maggie! Dogs like her were orginally bred for hunting and are high energy dogs in need of jobs. They need daily vigorous exercise like runs and jogs and lots of outdoor play time.

Maggie's new home should not have any cats (or other small critters or small livestock) due to her high prey drive.

Are you looking for the rare guard cat? This is your lucky day! Abbadoxx loves to protect her people from the dreaded red dot, you know the one, the silent, forever, unattainable red dot!

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

All cats are tested for FeLV.

I was surprised by the diversity of participants in age and musical talents. That diversity was one of the things that made the event so special.”

While Strickland suggest-

ed that future Strawberry Jam sessions might eventually focus on specific instruments or genres of music, he hasted to add that would depend entirely upon the interests expressed by their participants.

“Marysville is in the middle of an arts explosion, and

couple of a cappella numbers that were literally jawdropping. You will no doubt be hearing more from Lexi, Cama and Vanessa as they continue to develop and share their amazing talents.”

Strickland himself even took a turn at the mic that evening, playing “Alone Without You” by Tom Morello and “Wagon Wheel” by Darius Rucker on his guitar.

“I started things off to make sure the bar was set comfortably low in the beginning,” Strickland laughed. “I just like these songs, and they’re fun to play. I also like to play for others to sing along, so I played a couple of songs that Ernie could sing with me.”

The evening went so well that Strickland is already planning the next Strawberry Jam for Thursday, Sept. 26, from 6-8 p.m. the Marysville Alfy’s Pizza.

MARYSVILLE — Musical performers and audience members came from not only Marysville, but also Arlington and Smokey Point for the first Marysville Strawberry Jam open-mic night at the Marysville Alfy’s Pizza on Thursday, Aug. 22.

According to event organizer Jim Strickland, the crowds were packed and diverse in every direction, with musical artists ranging from 4 to 70 years old, playing everything from acoustic covers of Tom Petty and Van Morrison, to a wide variety of folk, rock, country, alternative and pop songs, and while most of the performers were singers and guitarists, the instrumentalists also included a lone clarinetist, Chelsea Fowler.

“She’s a MarysvillePilchuck High School graduate who also writes poetry and volunteers in the community,” said Strickland, who teaches the Life Skills Program at M-PHS. “We had several teens from

Marysville and Arlington schools, and about an equal number of adults.”

Among the evening’s other performers who stood out in Strickland’s mind were Dave Smith, the guitarist who “rocked the house” with the aforementioned Tom Petty and Van Morrison numbers, and Jim Gibbs, who’s in a band based out of the Stillaguamish Senior Center and plays venues throughout Snohomish County, as well as Ernie Mapanoo, one of Strickland’s Life Skills students at M-PHS whom he credited with being a very enthusiastic performer.

“Lexi Vanney, a 12-yearold from Arlington, is an awesome natural talent who’s in the middle of recording a CD of cover tunes,” Strickland said.

“She performed songs by Adele, Bruno Mars, Sarah McLachlan and others.

Cama Durbin, a sophomore at M-PHS, plays guitar and sings with a voice that sends chills down your spine. Her younger sister Vanessa, an eighth-grader at Marysville Middle School, also did a

Drag Strip Reunion fetes 10 years in Arlington

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — For the 10th year in a row, the west side of the Arlington Municipal Airport will be revving with hot rod and classic car engines this fall, as the Arlington Drag Strip Reunion returns to the blacktop just off the airport’s 188th Street NE entrance on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Visitors will be able to get an eyeful of vintage vehicles and souped-up rigs for an admission fee of $3 for adults and $1 for kids, while entrants in the show will be charged $20 to pre-register or $25 at the gate.

From the 1950s to 1970, the Arlington Airport served as the site of the National Hot Rod Association-sanctioned Drag Strip event, which produced a number of national records in the early years of organized drag racing.

The first Drag Strip Reunion came about in 2004, when the nearby Arlington Boys & Girls Club revived the event to help raise funds for their programs. They received support not only from the city and the airport, but also from the former track manager and track announcer of the original Drag Strip.

Four years ago, Arlington Boys & Girls Club Director Bill Kinney approached the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club about partnering on the Drag Strip Reunion, since the latter club had been putting on their own auto show to support local

charities, including the Boys & Girls Clubs, for the past 31 years.

Jake Jacobsen, of the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club, touted the show’s focus on supporting the surrounding community as one of its biggest draws.

“It’s all done by volunteers, so all the proceeds are able to go to those local charities,” said Jacobsen, who noted that the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Automotive Program has been among the regular beneficiaries of the show’s proceeds. “We select seniors who will stay in the automotive field after they graduate, and sponsor them to get tools, so they can get hired immediately out of school.”

According to Jacobsen, last year’s Drag Strip Reunion raised slightly more than $10,000 for various charities, and this year’s goal is to reach $12,000.

With as many as 500 vehicles on display and more than 2,400 spectators estimated to have attended last year, Jacobsen reminded those who will be gathering in Arlington for this year’s event that there are no activities on Friday, Sept.

13, associated with the Drag Strip Reunion.

Indeed, while the city of Arlington welcomes the auto enthusiasts who will be coming to the community for the event, the Washington Traffic Safety Commission is working with the Arlington Police Department to enforce the rules of the road by fund-

ing additional patrols that Friday evening, with zero tolerance for any traffic violations.

“The Arlington Police have been very welcoming to work with on this,” Jacobsen said. “They’ve been totally open and cooperative.”

Jacobsen likewise praised the Arlington business community for its willingness to promote the Drag Strip Reunion.

“We’ve gotten lots of great local support, and our local businesses have been a big part of that,” Jacobsen said.

“People become very cooperative when they hear that it all goes back to charity. A lot of local merchants just like supporting local events, and 95 percent of them have been very happy to talk to us.”

In turn, the Drag Strip Reunion will further show its support for the surrounding community by collecting non-perishable food items for local food banks, and will even incentivize those donations by rewarding those contributors with free raffle tickets.

The local charities that receive funds from the Drag Strip Reunion will have their own table, and the Burned Children Recovery Foundation’s fire truck will be featured among the hundreds of current and historic classics, street rods, customs and specially restored drag cars from the strip’s heyday in the 1950s and ‘60s.

Marysville Soroptimists induct new board

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Soroptimist International of Marysville has inducted its Board members for the 2013-14 year, which they’re kicking off by reaching out to the community this fall.

Marysville Soroptimist Co-Presidents Teresa Trivett and Kathie Roon will serve alongside Board members Debbie Elgin, Marge Due, Louise Alexander-Way, Elaine Hanson, Veronica Love, Suzanne Perry, Jackie Van Assche, Kathleen Shalan and Melissa Clarke for the next year, as they focus on improving the lives of women and girls in the local community and throughout the world.

The recipients of Soroptimist International of Marysville’s nearly $28,000 in charitable contributions to the Marysville community during the 2012-13 fiscal year included the Marysville Community Food Bank and Toy Store, Kloz 4 Kidz, the Marysville YMCA’s Invest in Youth program, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County, the city of Marysville’s Parks and Recreation Department and Marysville girls who received $17,000 in college scholarships.

According to Renae James, former president of Soroptimist International of Marysville, the group has

already begun planning its annual fundraising auction at the Medallion Hotel in Smokey Point, starting at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 26.

“This is always a fun event, with lots of silent and live auction items, great raffles and a delicious meal,” said James, who noted that this year’s theme is “Bounty of Treasures,” during which attendees are welcome to wear pirate outfits, if they dare. “Costumes are encouraged but not required. This auction is our club’s primary fundraiser, and the funds raised go toward local scholarships and supporting local and international service projects.”

to donate an item, call 360722-2242 or 360-708-0538.

In the meantime, those interested in learning more about Soroptimist International will have a chance to meet and greet its Marysville members on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, from September through June, from Sept. 3 forward.

The hour-long meetings at Fanny’s Restaurant, located at 505 Cedar Ave. in Marysville, start at 7 a.m.

The first Tuesday of the month is typically a business meeting, while the third Tuesday tends to be a program meeting, although meeting times may change due to the holidays.

“At our local club level, we organize fundraisers to support various service projects chosen by the members,” James said. “We do several hands-on projects, and also donate money to projects that share our

“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. I help patients reduce or even eliminate their neuropathy pain using nutritional therapies, deep tissue super-pulsed cold laser treatments, combined with specific non-surgical, noninvasive spine decompression therapy aimed at reducing or eliminating pressure on nerves exiting the spine that control foot and hand function.
