MARYSVILLE — No matter how many years of first days of school students, parents and teachers have experienced before, it can still be an adjustment, as families found at both Marysville Middle School and Liberty Elementary this year. “It’s all new stuff,” laughed Angela Courier, as she and her husband Richard got their daughter Kailye checked into sixth grade at Marysville Middle School on Wednesday, Sept. 4. “It’s completely different from elementary school. There’s all different school supplies. You need to make sure you’ve got your information together beforehand.” While fellow moms such as Meridith Rosevelt reviewed their own chil-

For at least two families at Liberty Elementary, barely more than a block west of Marysville Middle School, this year marked a particularly unique transition. Art Noriel Castillo entered fifth grade at Liberty Elementary this year, but his father, Arturo Castillo, had to show up early to complete all his paperwork since they just recently moved to the area from Saipan. “We came here because the schools here are very SEE SCHOOL, PAGE 18

MARYSVILLE — Syria, the Affordable Care Act and the accountability of politicians were the issues foremost on the minds of area residents who attended a special community coffee session with U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen at the Boondockers Cafe in Marysville on the afternoon on Thursday, Sept. 5, with the first question asking him how he planned to vote on Syria. “I don’t know that it will come to a vote in the House, and I don’t know what an eventual resolution might say,” Larsen said. “What I’ve concluded, based on the unclassified information, is that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on its own civilians.” When members of the crowd murmured

Jim Byron of Burlington advises U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen that Congress should take its time before making a decision on Syria. in the past six months were full-time, and wondered if the Affordable Care Act was to blame for employers limiting their workers’ hours and making more of their positions part-time. “The conclusion that the White House economic team came to was that this is due to the restructuring of the economy that occurred during the recession,” said Larsen, who noted that unemployment in Snohomish County was down to 5.6 percent, from a high of close to 10 percent during the recession. “What we need to be doing to develop sustainable jobs is to invest in transportation infrastructure and in education — not just K-12, but two- and four-year college programs as well.” “Ever since I was in my 20s, and I’m in my 70s now, I’ve thought that we needed a health care system in this country, and the intentions behind the Affordable Care Act are great, but I think it overblew it,” said Marysville’s Ginger Van Mourik, who suggested starting with something simpler like free annual checkups instead, to catch serious conditions in time. Ken Dammand of Tulalip commended Larsen on his efforts to overturn Citizen United, and wondered what he would need to do with a statewide initiative to do the same. “If you do it, you’d better win it, because otherwise, it makes it a lot more difficult,” Larsen said. “There is a limit to the impact of money, because there’s more of you than there are people who are willing to drop $10 million on an election, but you can’t lose your energy because otherwise it really will be all about money.”

their skepticism over the information Larsen had received, he reminded them that he’d voted not to enter Iraq based on what he considered the poor quality of intelligence in that case, “but it’s like night and day compared to what we have available to us in this case.” Within the next few days, Larsen expected to receive classified information from not only the United States, but also the United Kingdom and France. In the meantime, he emphasized that his mind is not yet made up, not only because he doesn’t have all the information, but also because he wants to hear from his constituents, whose feedback he solicited on his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/pages/Rick-Larsen/20809300888. “There are those who would say it’s not in our national security interests to get involved in a civil war, beyond the degree to which we’re involved in it now, by giving humanitarian aid,” Larsen said. “But the use of chemical weapons goes against the Geneva Convention and the Syrian Accountability Act. This is why I’ll be continuing to hear from you.” Larsen admitted that he did not know how much American military involvement in Syria might cost, “so I’ll be asking that this week,” but he did take the time to distinguish between America entering Afghanistan after 9/11, which he voted for and still believes was justified, versus America entering Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein, which he considered a distraction. “Those chemical weapons very specifically targeted a suburb in Damascus that was the exact place the Syrian government needed to get at the rebels,” Larsen said, when asked if he was certain that the Syrian government was behind the attack. “In this case, one plus one plus one equals three. It’s too coincidental.” “I have no doubt that what’s happening there is terrible, but many, many people believe there’s no purpose to be served in us getting involved in a war in which we’re not even sure who we should be backing,” said Marysville’s Kristin Cook, who collected seven pages of signatures in Edmonds, during the prior weekend, against military involvement in Syria, which she’d faxed to Larsen’s Congressional office. Marysville’s Mark Hamers cited figures from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics that only 27,000 of the 963,000 jobs created

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

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. SEE BERG, PAGE 5

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

The improvement in water quality and revitalization of local plant life will bring more migratory and resident birds back to the wetlands. 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. Rep. Rick Larsen can be reached via his website at http://larsen.house.gov. Mayor Jon Nehring can be reached at mayor@ marysvillewa.gov or 360-363-8091.

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. Dr. Becky Berg is the Superintendent of Marysville Schools.

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.

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. “We’ll be closed between

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.

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

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.” More school zone driving tips can be found on AAA’s “School’s Open, Drive Carefully” webpage at http:// exchange.aaa.com/safety/ child-safety/schools-opendrive-carefully.

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

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. For more information on Volunteers of America of Western Washington, log onto their website at www. voaww.org.

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.”

M-P and MG prep for swim, dive season BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo

Sophomore Alex Pimentel, of Marysville Getchell, prepares for diving season.

MARYSVILLE — The pool at Marysville-Pilchuck is packed with swimmers and divers from both Marysville Getchell and M-P for start-ofthe-season training, and the athletes are looking to bring a new level of skill to the program. In a team meeting, head coach Jaci Legore Hodgins brought up the phrase “championship mindset.” “That’s one of my favorite things,” she said. “To us as coaches, it just completely covers what you want your athletes to get because it’s the big picture. It’s not about winning, it’s about how you handle yourself and how to be a champion.” The Chargers have 13 swimmers and divers on the roster this year, while the Tomahawks have 18. “It’s a small team. We usually average 33, so we are just a bit short,” said Legore

Hodgins. “We’d love to have 20 from each school and it’s been challenging to get that number. The Mighty Marlins is a great developmental program we have here, but they see a lot of kids from Lake Stevens or Arlington, so growing swimmers in Marysville can be difficult.” Despite having fewer athletes, M-P and MG boast a skilled group with a strong work ethic and team mindset. “This is a really fun group,” said Legore Hodgins. “They are strong, competent, creative — it’s a great group. We have a group of newbies that are so new, and Coach Christy Taylor is spending a great amount of time working with them and growing their skill. I’ve got a group of veterans led by state competitors — M-P senior Rachel Hartmeyer and MG senior Courtney Moss. Melanie Coleman, another senior from M-P, is returning as well, along with Madison Rossnagle and Rebekah Pusateri, both M-P sopho-

mores.” Diving is set to be a strong team for the Chargers and Tommies this year. “Coach Caldwell is our shining star, our secret weapon,” said Legore Hodgins, of diving coach Dick Caldwell. “We have seven divers this year, so we are deep. MG is going to be something this year. In addition to Courtney, we have a junior named Brooke Wherley at MG who has been practicing diving in Federal Way all summer. Sophomore Alex Pimentel is a former gymnast who is showing a lot of promise.” Legore Hodgins had accolades for M-P freshman Abby Magee as well. “She is the real deal,” she said. “She has been training here with the Marlins for years, and now she is ready to take it to the high school level. She has a great work ethic.” The Tomahawks and Chargers will host the North Division Jamboree on Thursday, Sept. 12, at 3 p.m.

Marysville’s Posey rows on North Cascades Crew BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — With school starting and football season kicking off, it’s time to return to fall sports — but it’s not just students who are getting back in the game. Lifetime Marysville resident Vonna Posey is working on her skills as a rower with the North Cascades Crew. “I’ve been Marysville resident for my whole life,” said Posey, 58. “I lived in Stanwood for a bit, and then moved back and raised my kids.” Although she has been active for most of her life, she’s had an interest in learning how to row for years. “I started last September, but I wanted to row since seeing Meryl Streep in The River Wild. It looked so elegant and peaceful,” she said. She was out in Lake Stevens with her daughter last spring, when she decided to give it a try. “It was March and very cold. I looked up and someone was rowing through the mist, and it was just beautiful,” she said. “I started looking into rowing clubs, but the times weren’t cohesive to my working schedule. I met Jen Huffman, who rows with North Cascades Crew, and I learned there was another group only four miles from my house, which

makes it really convenient.” Posey works as a massage therapist and pet sitter, and takes time out of her busy schedule in the evening. “I’m not a morning person,” she laughed. “I’ve been rowing twice a week and I took the ‘Learn to Row’ class. There is a lot to learn with this sport and I’m still learning. My goal was to row in a single.” She has yet to compete in a race but doesn’t think that it will be too long before she accomplishes that goal. “My coaches teach us to row in regattas,” she said. “I have the ability, but not yet the confidence. There are a few regattas coming up — Lake Sammamish, Everett Rowing Club at Ebey Slough in September and October.” She has competed in other races, however, and just needs to feel confident on the water. “I’ve done a 5K, I ride my bike and I’m fairly active,” she said. “I don’t have the competitive motivation but I’m extremely determined. I have grandboys, who are active boys, and I didn’t want to be sidelined. I want to be able to play with my grandsons and I knew I needed to develop strength.” Learning to row was a new challenge, but one that Posey was happy to take on. “Rowing is a very different

There is nothing that does what rowing does — it’s a thinking sport and it’s a physically demanding sport. You feel really good and you feel energized but you are tired too. You need a lot of hand-eye coordination to watch the body movements of your teammates. You are dependent on the person in front of you and you have to

mimic their stroke. It’s learning to be a team and knowing I’m not the most important person in the boat — we are all important.” A newfound love of rowing is something that Posey encourages others to pursue. “If anyone has ever wanted to learn to row they should do it now. They shouldn’t wait,” she said. “It’s very affordable, and how physically fit I’ve gotten is the nic-

est surprise. Anyone who doesn’t like working out indoors should try rowing — it’s very physically demanding. I love what it’s teaching me and, of course, it’s really peaceful. I just want to be out there in the morning when the sun rises and the mist is coming off the water.” For more information on North Cascades Crew, visit www.northcascadescrew.com.

Historical Society hosts Women’s Legacy Project exhibit BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Historical Society is helping to highlight the “herstory” side of history by hosting an exhibit from the Women’s Legacy Project of Snohomish County. The Women’s Legacy Project display board, which stretches nearly to the ceiling of the Marysville Historical Society’s current museum at 1508-B Third St. in Marysville, offers introductory summaries of a number of historically significant women in Snohomish County, whom people can then read about in more detail, either at the Marysville Historical Society in a book also supplied by the Women’s Legacy Project — which provides comprehensive entries on each woman who appears on the display board, plus many more — or on the Women’s Legacy Project website at http://snohomishwomenslegacy.org. Marysville Historical Society President Ken Cage explained that he received the Women’s Legacy Project display board and accompanying book from the Granite Falls Historical Museum near

“It’s just amazing to me how hard all these pioneer women had to work, just to keep their families going in the so-called ‘good old days.’” Ken Cage, Marysville Historical Society the start of August, and will be keeping them through the end of September, at which point the Women’s Legacy Project will find another temporary home for them in Snohomish County. “It’s been very interesting,” Cage said. “I still haven’t been able to read all these women’s stories yet, but whenever I have a free moment, I’ll see a snippet on the display that intrigues me, and I’ll look in the notebook to find out more. This is all new to me.” Of the 75 women whose life stories are presented by the Women’s Legacy Project, Cage reported that two in particular who have piqued the curiosity of many visitors to the Marysville Historical Society have been Nora Burglon, a prolific SwedishAmerican writer of children’s literature who lived in Everett from the 1930s until her death in 1976, and “Pilchuck Julia,” the famous wife of fellow Snohomish-

area Native American “Pilchuck Jack,” whose biographical details were the subject of some debate even before her death in 1923. “I think they’re all very nice stories,” Cage said. “It’s just amazing to me how hard all these pioneer women had to work, just to keep their families going in the socalled ‘good old days.’” The Marysville Historical Society is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Tuesdays through Thursdays, and by appointment on other days and times by calling 360659-3090 or emailing info@ marysvillehistory.org, for those who are interested in checking out the Women’s Legacy Project exhibit between now and the end of September.

parents were children in my class, and they’ve heard all the stories. Even the high school kids will come back and remember the places where they sat in my room.” While third-graders don’t have nearly the amount of nervousness that younger kids do about the first day, Wright still needs to guide them back into the groove of studying, as they’re united with friends they might not have seen all summer long. Wright herself spent her summer studying the Common Core State Standards and acquiring new texts for her students. “The curriculum has gotten more challenging over the years, and the expectations of state testing are more demanding now, but the kids are basically the same as they’ve always been,” said Wright, who praised the support of her

fellow teachers and school staff members. “The kids are just great. I never wanted to become a principal, because being a teacher here is just great. Except for one year in England, I’ve taught in Marysville my whole career, and of those years, I’ve taught at Liberty for all but my first year, when I was at Shoultes. I love it here.” For Liberty Elementary first-grade teacher Karen Robinson, this year served as a first day of school in more ways than one, since it was also her first day of teaching a class of her own. “I was a substitute teacher for three years before this,” said Robinson, who credited her own fourth-grade teacher with inspiring her to enter education. “I thought she was so cool, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do when I grew up.”

Robinson’s biggest challenge in preparing her own classroom was figuring out how it should be laid out, since she was accustomed to coming in as a substitute and working within other teachers’ setups for their classrooms. “In the end, I went with openness,” Robinson said. “I wanted to be able to see all the kids, and to see them learning.” While Lucas Walker, one of Robinson’s firstgrade students, had already attended Liberty Elementary for the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program, his first day was still a bit difficult for his mom. “I let him walk to school by himself, because he’s a big boy now,” Shelly Walker said. “It’s sad that he’s growing up so fast. He’s not my baby anymore.”

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

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. To learn more about the farms and festivals on the Red Rooster Route, and to download a tour map, you can visit their website at www.redroosterroute.com.

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.

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

Name: Abbadoxx Animal ID : 20857174 Breed : Siamese / Egyptian Mau Age : 3 years Gender : Female Color : Grey / White Spayed/Neutered : Yes

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.
