ARLINGTON — The proposed 2014 budget for the city of Arlington is expected to be voted on by the Arlington City Council on Monday, Dec. 2, in the wake of city of Arlington Finance Director Jim Chase’s likely penultimate presentation of the budget to the Council during its Monday, Nov. 18, regular session meeting. Chase explained that the budget projects the city to start the New Year with a balance of $16,919,146, to which it’s expected to add $42,410,651 in revenues for 2014. Even with a projected $44,614,929 in expenditures for

next year, that would still yield an ending fund balance of $14,714,868 for 2014. “Our budget for 2013 was $49,483,410, up from the budget of $39,778,098 that we had for 2012,” said Chase, who accounted for a significant portion of that increase by pointing out that the Transportation Improvement Fund grew from $1,940,042 in 2012 to $10,441,800 in 2013. Although the Transportation Improvement Fund has been reduced to $4,144,958 for 2014, that’s still larger than the fund’s $1,483,426 in 2011, back when the city’s budget was SEE BUDGET, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Library demonstrated its ability to adjust to circumstances in relatively short order while still staying relevant with its programs on Wednesday, Nov. 20, as its planned enzymes and digestion lab was substituted with a series of activities based on the novel “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” to sync up with the release of its movie adaptation on Friday, Nov. 22. Laura Henley, the teen librarian for the Arlington Library, had just recently come from working with the Marysville Library, and soon came to realize that the planned lab activities were a bit outsized for the Arlington Library’s accommodations. “When I looked at the kit, I realized that it would require extra equipment, and it would take up more space than we have in the

LIBRARY FROM PAGE 1 Arlington Library for our children’s and teens’ programs, not to mention more time than we could set aside for those exercises,” Henley said. “So, since I’d already done a similar Hunger Games-themed program at the Marysville Library, I decided to bring that here.” The activities made creative use of slightly Spartan resources, first by pitting the eight participating kids against one another in Hunger Games-inspired duels, in which they had to hold oranges with large wooden spoons, the other ends of which they used to try and knock their opponents’ oranges out of their spoons, and then by using rolls of toilet paper to try

and create life-sized versions of how they imagined Katniss Everdeen’s wedding dress, as it was described in “Catching Fire.” Henley also tested her group’s knowledge of “The Hunger Games” by subjecting them to a trivia quiz, which required them to have read the novels rather than just watched the first film, before she treated them to a round of buttonmaking, letting them select their favorite lines from the novels and stamp them onto pin-on buttons with a button-making machine. While one or two of the kids mistook details from the first movie as having taken place in the books, most of them were avid fans of “The Hunger Games” in print before they saw the big-screen adaptation, a fact which gratified Henley as a fellow Hunger Games

enthusiast. “I started reading the novels right when they first came out,” Henley said. “In fact, I read the first book as an advanced readers’ copy, which meant that I had to wait a whole year to read the next installment. I finished it in one night. It has really strong female characters, which I appreciate, and the story itself is captivating. You’re not quite sure of the directions that the story will take, and what’s interesting is that those who are on the side of right don’t always behave in ways that are good.” “The books had a good pace and were really exciting,” said 11-year-old Jared Swislow, who began reading “The Hunger Games” a year ago, and who won the elimination-round orange-and-spoon duels in the Arlington Library that afternoon. “I just like the

ideas behind them. The book was better than the first movie, but I wasn’t disappointed in the movie.” Swislow’s favorite characters were the boys, Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, while 14-yearold Abigail Palmer preferred the girls, Katniss and Rue. “Once you start reading the books, you can’t stop,” said Palmer, who not only modeled one of the two toilet paper wedding dresses created that day, but also performed well during the trivia quiz. “In the third book, I was confused by some of the things that were happening, and I wondered, ‘What’s going on?’” Like Swislow, Palmer is a voracious reader, devouring between one and two novels a week, and she echoed his sentiments on the film by saying, “It’s good, but not as good as the book.” While Swislow’s family had already made plans to see “Catching Fire” on the evening of Thursday, Nov. 21, Palmer expected that she would wait until it came to the Olympic Theatre in down-

BUDGET FROM PAGE 1 $42,939,371 for the year. Chase reported that the 2014 general fund is $12,985,530, which is slightly up from $12,878,609 in 2013 and $12,852,487 in 2012, but down from $13,410,790 in 2011. “Police and fire are the two biggest expenditures in the general fund for 2014,” said Chase, who explained that law enforcement adds up to $5,069,852, or 39.04 percent of the budget, while fire control adds up to $2,464,645, or $18.98 percent of the budget. “And at $9,035,682, the water and sewer utility fund is our largest fund outside of the general fund.” Chase touched upon the city’s other funds by noting that the 2014 budget sets aside $944,200 for the street maintenance fund, which is responsible for all the

Even as the teen librarian acknowledged that the Arlington Library is significantly smaller than what she’s worked with in the Marysville Library, she was quick to cite the Arlington Library’s unique benefits. “We’ve got a great afterschool crowd here,” Henley said. “It helps that we’re within walking distance of no less than two middle schools.” Henley encouraged kids to check out the Arlington

Library’s upcoming teen programs, which are currently set to include Shrinky Dinks on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 3 p.m., and the start of a “Bring Your Own Book Club” in January. “Rather than having assigned books that everyone has to read, kids will be able to come in and talk about whatever books they’ve been reading,” Henley said. “We’ll even have snacks.” The Arlington Library is located at 135 N.

city’s public streets, while its Emergency Medical Services fund of $2,714,756 in 2014 is drawn from $1,426,756 in taxes, $1,600 in intergovernmental funds, $1,185,900 in charges for services, $500 in miscellaneous funds and $100,000 from the beginning fund balance left over from 2013. “Of course, our water and sewer funds are drawn almost entirely from our monthly utility fees, as is our storm water management fund,” said Chase, adding that the latter fund will have $948,000 in total resources to support the city’s efforts at flood management and water quality protection. “Likewise, of the airport fund’s $3,760,055 budget for 2014, $2,916,916 comes from its miscellaneous fund, which is basically the rent that the Arlington Airport charges its tenants.” Following a public hear-

ing on Nov. 18 during which there was no public comment, the City Council’s remarks were relatively brief as well. “With what you had to work with, this looks pretty good,” Council member Dick Butner said. “You had to be tough, and you did a good job of that.” Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield, who had presented an earlier draft of the 2014 budget alongside Chase during the Council’s Oct. 28 workshop meeting, emphasized that, while the city is meeting its budget targets for this year, its financials remain very tight. “We made substantial cuts to balance the 2013 budget, and we are keeping our expenditures within those cuts,” Banfield said. “The Council has also been very clear with staff that reserves must return to the amounts required by our policies. This is where we will continue to struggle. Even if a property tax levy lid lift passes, the city will only be three-quarters of the way to the levels required by policy, and the state auditors, by 2021.” The budget assumes not only that voters approve the levy lid lift in the spring, but also that the current upward sales tax revenue trend will continue.

Faith Lutheran Church Bazaar raises $2,500 for local families BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The Faith Lutheran Church in Lakewood drew hundreds of shoppers and thousands of dollars during its annual Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 16, which will go to help needy families in the area throughout the winter holidays. Tami Liden has chaired the event for the past 11 years, but it’s been in her family for three decades, and while this year’s estimated take of $2,500 was more modest than previous peaks, such as the year that it raised nearly $6,000, she still considers this a more than generous sum, considering the current economy. “We’re just happy to be able to help anybody,” said Liden, who explained that the monies raised from this event will go toward Lakewood, Arlington and Marysville families identified by their respective school districts and food banks. “We’ve taken on board anywhere from 10 to 24 families a year in the past, depending on the need and our available resources.” “We’ll probably be able to provide for at least a dozen families this year,” said Dee Collins, one of Liden’s fellow volunteers, who sold evergreen swags at this year’s Holiday Bazaar. “We must have had about 300 people come by for this year’s event. The floor was crowded all the time. That makes it more fun.” Liden credited roughly 20 volunteers with handcrafting the seasonal goods that were sold at this year’s Holiday Bazaar, and confidently predicted that those volunteers would start preparing for next year’s event by commencing work on its gift items the day after this year’s Holiday Bazaar. “Tami always encourages us by saying, ‘You’ve only got so many months until next year’s event,’” Collins laughed, before turning serious. “We try and keep the same families through Thanksgiving and Christmas, but those aren’t the only times of the year that we donate to the community.” “We pitch in for domestic violence shelters and safe transitional housing for kids throughout the year,” Liden said. “It feels

good to be able to do it.” Collins praised Liden for her work as chair of the event, and echoed her sentiments about how much the act of giving warms her heart. “When you’re able to give these Christmas gifts

to moms who would otherwise have nothing to give their families, the tears run down your face,” Collins said. “Their need is just so great.” The Faith Lutheran Church is located at 1724 172nd St. NE in Lakewood.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Don’t cut medical imaging Last week, I joined 50 patient advocates from across the country to call on Congress to reject harmful policy proposals that would restrict patient access to life-saving medical imaging technologies and radiation therapy services. In 2005 I was diagnosed with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (F.A.P.) syndrome. Every day, I continue to battle F.A.P. syndrome and I will for the rest of my life. Medical imaging is critical to help my doctor monitor its progression and guide my course of treatment. Regular imaging is critical for F.A.P. syndrome because not only does F.A.P. syndrome lead to colon cancer if left untreated 99 percent of the time, it also can create a variety of other health problems including osteomas, desmoid tumors, fibromas, epidermoid cysts, and sebaceous cysts all of which can be detected through medical imaging. Due to the rarity of F.A.P. syndrome, medical imaging is also a valuable resource for doctors so that this disease can be researched further. And yet, despite the demonstrated value of medical

imaging technologies — which have proven vital to the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancers and other deadly diseases that touch millions of Americans — policymakers have slashed Medicare reimbursements for medical imaging and radiation therapy technologies 13 times since 2006. It is critical that members of Congress reject additional reimbursement cuts, support Medicare coverage decisions that facilitate access to appropriate medical imaging and oppose the use of burdensome, nontransparent obstacles to appropriate scans, such as radiology benefits managers (RBMs) in Medicare. As policymakers look for solutions to reduce our deficit, I hope they keep in mind the many patients like me who are alive today thanks to medical imaging. Congress must work with patients and physicians to implement thoughtful imaging policies that promote patient access to the right scan and the right therapy at the right time. Patients are already in the fight of their lives; let’s not make the fight harder by making it more difficult for patients to access these critical services. Sincerely, Alyssa Zeigler Marysville

Boeing, let’s talk

t was the mid-1980s, and Roy dairy farmer Jim Wilcox was worried. As an owner of Wilcox Family Farms, one of the largest dairy producers in western Washington at the time, he was concerned how his business would be affected by the activities of a new group called the Nisqually River Task Force. I was part of that task force of tribal, state, federal and local governments, businesses and others charged with developing a management plan for the Nisqually River watershed. The aim of the plan was balanced stewardship of the watershed’s economic, natural and cultural resources. Fearing that possible environmental regulations in such a plan could put his family farm on the Nisqually River out of business, Wilcox quickly joined the task force to protect his interests. But before that, he teamed up with other large landowners in the watershed — including Weyerhaeuser — to try and shoot down any plan that might be developed. But those fears melted one day when the task force was touring the watershed and our bus broke down. Waiting for help, Jim and I started talking. I told him that we wanted him to stay in business, but that we needed to protect salmon as well, and that if we worked together, we could come up with a solution. He agreed to try. Today, Wilcox Family Farms is still in business and the Nisqually River watershed is one of the healthiest in the state. It’s a model of how a watershed can be managed for the benefit of everyone. About that same time, a war was raging in the woods of Washington. Timber companies, environmental groups, tribes, state and federal agencies, and others were battling

BEING FRANK

BILLY FRANK, JR. each other in court over the effects of timber harvests on fish and wildlife. I asked Stu Bledsoe, executive director of the Washington Forest Protection Association, a forest products industry trade group, to see if his members would be willing to join a cooperative effort to develop a solution for everyone involved. He agreed to try. After many months of negotiations by all of the parties involved, the result was the Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement — now called the Forests and Fish Law — which put an end to the war in the woods with a cooperative science-based management approach that ensures a healthy timber industry while also protecting fish and wildlife. We find ourselves in a similar situation today with the state’s extremely low fish consumption rate that is used to regulate pollution in our waters. The lower the rate, the higher the level of pollutants allowed. Washington has one of the highest populations of seafood consumers, but uses one of the lowest fish consumption rates in the country to control water pollution. State government is quick to admit that the current rate of 6.5 grams of seafood per day — about one 8-ounce serving a month — does not protect most Washington citizens from toxins in our waters that can cause illness or death. That fact is especially true for Asian-Americans and Pacific

Islanders, as well as recreational fishermen and others who eat more seafood than most. For us tribes, fish and shellfish have always been basis of our cultures. Our treatyreserved harvest rights depend on those resources being safe to eat. Oregon recently increased its fish consumption rate to 175 grams per day, the most protective rate in the U.S. We think everyone in Washington deserves at least that level of protection. Sadly, the effort to adopt a more accurate fish consumption rate has become one of the biggest public policy battles in the country, pitting human health against the economy. Some industry leaders such as Boeing are digging in their heels to delay or kill rule-making on a more accurate rate because they say it will increase their cost of doing business. To find a solution, Gov. Jay Inslee has put together an informal advisory group of tribes, local governments, businesses, environmental organizations and others to help resolve the issue. That group met for the first time recently, and although Boeing was invited, the company chose not to participate. That’s too bad, because I would have told them that we don’t want Boeing to leave the state or go out of business. We want them to keep making planes here in western Washington, but at the same time we have to protect the health of everyone who lives here by adopting a more realistic fish consumption rate. I also would have told them about Jim Wilcox and Stu Bledsoe and the many great things that can be accomplished when we sit down together to solve a shared problem. Billy Frank Jr. is the Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

ARLINGTON — If you missed the Friends of the Arlington Library’s book sale on Nov. 12-13, don’t worry, because they’ll be back on Dec. 10-11. “We’re here in the lobby of the library on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month, and we make about $200 from each lobby book sale,” said Eileen Ray, vice president of the Friends of the Arlington Library. “We also get at least one new member every month from the book sales.” “And everything we get from these sales goes right back into the library, usually for the kids,” said fellow Friends of the Arlington Library member Char O’Neal. While the Friends of the Arlington Library sponsor programs for library patrons of all ages, they take special care to try and foster a love of reading in children, not only by supplying free dictionaries to the third-grade students of the Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington school districts, but also by sponsoring many of the programs that Arlington Children’s Librarian Lesla Ojeda presents throughout

the year. “They fund a lot of things for us, and not just the obvious things,” Ojeda said. “They help us get different performers every year, from Scott Peterson the ‘Reptile Man’ to magician Jeff Evans, and even Charlie Williams the ‘Noise Guy.’ We’ve gotten exhibits from Sarvey Wildlife and the Pacific Science Center thanks to them, but they’ve also helped us out with our regular storytime programs for children.” Ojeda credited the Friends of the Library with providing baby toys and board books for younger readers, the latter so that their little fingers can learn to turn the pages of regular books. “When we did our ‘Forensics Detective Academy’ for kids this past spring, the Friends of the Library gave us the money to buy the plaster of Paris to make plaster casts of footprints,” Ojeda said. “When the Arlington Library does outreach at community events like the Street Fair, who do you think helps us supply free crafts activities and button-making for the kids?” From contributing to gin-

gerbread housing-making during the winter vacation, to buying the books that wind up becoming prizes in the summer reading program, Ojeda identified the Friends of the Arlington Library’s fingerprints in any number of the programs that she oversees, even when it’s as simple as furnishing snacks for the kids in youth book groups. “Whether it’s big-name performers or little tiny things, I literally don’t know what we would do without them,” Ojeda said. The Friends of the Arlington Library have additionally furnished the library with a copy machine, a PC with a flash drive, and a number of recovered furniture items. Ray encouraged those who might be interested in joining the group to attend one of its meetings, on the second Wednesday of every month at 3:30 p.m. in the library. “We’ve got the best prices in town,” Ray said of the book sales. “We carry a variety of things, even including VCR tapes and CDs, and all of it is donated.” For more information on the Friends of the Arlington Library, log onto www.snoisle.org/?ID=1275.

Soroptimist Bunco raises nearly $1,000 BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — It wasn’t Soroptimist International of Marysville’s first Bunco fundraiser, but it was their first Bunco night in the Marysville American Legion Post 178 Hall on Thursday, Nov. 14, and the event’s new venue proved so successful that the group is already planning to return to the Legion Hall for another session of Bunco on Feb. 13 of next year. “We generated $880 in ticket money and $93 in raffle money from 44 people,” said Renae James, former president of Soroptimist International of Marysville. “This was one of our bigger crowds.” James reported that the evening’s activities were accompanied by no shortage of convivial conversations, hearty laughter and delicious food, as even the 10 players who were new to the game managed to get up to speed after the first round. “It’s pretty easy,” James said. “All you have to do is be able to roll the dice and count.” Elaine Hanson, one of the Board members of Soroptimist International of Marysville for 2013-14, deemed the event “a fun

That way, our guests can see firsthand where their own donations will be going.” Hanson and James both

offered special thanks to Marge Due and Jackie Van Assche for the great job they did in chairing this session of Bunco. “The Soroptimist ladies are always looking for other community-minded ladies who would like to be part of this amazing organization,” Hanson said. “I’m also proud to be part of such an amazing organization,” James said. “It’s very rewarding to see how our collective hard work and contributions have helped so many people. We appreciate everyone who came out to play Bunco, which supported not only our fundraiser, but their own community as well.” For more information about Soroptimist International of Marysville, which recently marked three decades of service in the local community, log onto its Facebook page at www. facebook.com/SIMarysville.

Arlington Legion Lounge hosts Thanksgiving dinner to the Arlington Legion back in 2007. Since then, the Post Lounge has hosted the event four times by her reckoning. “Bill was worried that there were members who did not have anyone to share their Thanksgiving dinners with,” Barb Lloyd said. “That first dinner, Bill helped Remi and Gayle Ricci cook turkey, potatoes and gravy, while other members supplied the side dishes.

Special Education PTSA reshuffles officers BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Barely two months after the Marysville Special Education PTSA had seemed to settle on its officers for the 2013-14 school year, the resignation of Alicia Champine forced the group to perform a slight reorganization of its leadership positions.

“[Champine] admitted that it was a difficult decision to resign, but due to the growing needs of her family, and starting up a business as a jewelry consultant, she decided that she would not be able to serve effectively as president,” said Jessie Atkins, the fundraising and programs chair for the Marysville Special Education PTSA. “She remains eager to participate as a member of our PTSA, and will continue to partner with us in advocating for students with special needs.” Amy Sheldon has since been nominated and voted in as president of the Marysville Special Education PTSA. Sheldon and Angi Wilson had previously served as copresidents of the group, before stepping down to join existing co-vice presidents Jim Strickland and Preston Dwoskin as their new co-vice presidents in September, after Sheldon explained that she and Wilson had found themselves saddled with too many obligations for them to commit as much to MSEPTSA. “With changes to the

expectations of the presidential role for MSEPTSA, and stronger support from her fellow Board members, [Sheldon] was able to step back in and fulfill that open position,” Atkins said. Wilson will continue to serve as one of the Marysville Special Education PTSA’s three remaining co-vice presidents, alongside Strickland and Dwoskin, the latter of whom will join existing Legislative Chair Barbara O’Kelly as her new co-chair. Of the group’s remaining officers, Kari Schneider serves as treasurer, Jessica Cantrell serves as secretary and Tammie Grande serves as membership chair. “Serving as an MSEPTSA Board member is a volunteer position,” Atkins said. “Each year, as the Board grows and changes, so do the expectations of those roles. In spite of a rough start, we’re certain that we’ve finally established a Board that’s going to help this year be a great one. We have many ideas and projects in the works, and our Board is rich in diversity, ideas and endless possibilities.”

‘Coast Salish Inheritance’ showcases Tulalip Tribal art

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — For the first time since the Hibulb Cultural Center and Natural History Preserve opened its doors to the public more than two years ago, it’s showcasing an exhibit that was produced entirely by Tulalip Tribal members. “Coast Salish Inheritance: Celebrating Artistic Innovation” is a recently inaugurated temporary exhibit that features an estimated 150 pieces of contemporary and traditional Coast Salish artwork from close to 30 Tulalip Tribal members, according to Tessa Campbell, assistant curator of the Hibulb Cultural Center, while Mytyl Hernandez — who manages the center’s marketing, membership and public relations — noted its finite human resources. “We have a very tiny staff, so everyone had to pitch in,” Hernandez said at the Hibulb Cultural Center on the evening of Friday, Nov. 15, during the sneak-peak early viewing of “Coast Salish Inheritance,” prior to its fully public debut on Saturday, Nov. 16. “We’ve

had people here taping and gluing stuff together since this morning.” Among the artwork on display were pieces by some of the kids of the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club, including Hernandez’s son. After Campbell noted that certain pieces of artwork by Tulalip Tribal members are for sale, Hernandez joked that her son will try to sell his own illustration. Nearly 20 of the Tulalip Tribal artists whose works were showcased in the exhibit attended the early viewing, and almost as many offered their thoughts on the intersections of tribal culture and artistic self-expression through video interviews recorded by Tulalip Tribal filmmaker Derek Jones. “A lot of what the newer generations do comes from the older generations,” Tulalip mixed-media artist Ty Juvinel said. “We’re more into graphics and photography and video, but we’re still imagining how life was like back then, and how our ancestors would interpret the world around them.” “This is the first job I’ve ever hard where I love to go into work every morn-

ing,” laughed Mitchell Matta, who learned carving from his grandmother when he was 6 years old, just as fellow Tulalip Tribal carver James Madison learned it from his own grandfather when he was 8 years old. “My grandfather taught me that, when a tree falls, it doesn’t die,” James Madison said. “Cedar is life for our people. Our culture is about giving life back, which we do with cedar by turning it into art. We take what’s traditional and give it a modern twist. We’re always trying to push boundaries.” David Spencer Sr. uses his own mixed-media art to evoke “themes of birth, life, death and rebirth,” while carver Kelly Moses Sr. asserted that a Tribal artist should “always believe in yourself, and remember where you come from, because you’re upholding your people and representing the Tulalip culture.” Richard James Muir Jr. approached that idea from the opposite end, presenting his beadwork as a form of atonement for the period in his life when his addictions held sway over him. “I’m here to put beauty back into the world, to make

up for the beauty that I took away from people, but I’d need 100 more years to do that,” Muir said. “I won’t do any beadwork if I’m holding onto any bad thoughts or feelings, because all that does is pass those thoughts and feelings onto the people I give that beadwork to.” Just as Muir learned beadwork in a reformatory, so too did Al Cortez hone his drummaking skills in a foster home, eventually giving his foster family one of his drums as a Christmas present. “Every drum has its own story, of what took place during the hunt for the animal that gave its hide for the drum,” Cortez said. “I try to get those stories out of the hunters, so that I can pass them on to the people whom I give the drums. You should always thank the animal and the mountains, not only for giving you the animal’s life, but also for giving you a safe journey back home.” Heather Gobin recalled

Judy and Heather Gobin proudly present the cedar dolls that won first place in the art show at the 89th annual Santa Fe Indian Market in 2010. how surprised she and her mother Judy were when the cedar dolls that they made won first place in the art show at the 89th annual Santa Fe Indian Market in 2010. “We were told we’d receive a call if we won, but we didn’t get a call, so we thought, oh well, it’s still an honor to have taken part,” Heather Gobin said. “Once we went

to the preview show, I saw my mom in tears, because it turned out we’d won after all. I’m proud to show those dolls here, for the first time in public since 2010. At the dolls we make have their own personalities. They all look like someone we know.” The Hibulb Cultural Center and Natural History Preserve is located at 6410 23rd Ave. NE in Tulalip.

good with my hands, so I was just in the right state to say, ‘Why not?’” Fisher opened Healing Wind MFR Therapy in Suite C at 437 N. Olympic Ave. earlier this year to provide myofascial release, a specialized stretching technique used by some physical and massage therapists to treat patients with softtissue issues, but what sets Healing Wind apart from other outlets for massage therapy in the area is the degree to which Fisher attempts to address the connection between mind and body. “I’m also an ordained minister,” Fisher said. “As I began working on people’s bodies, I discovered that going deeper into treating them involved the release of personal emotional events, which I couldn’t legally speak to in my previous role. Many physical ailments can derive from traumas much earlier in life, only some of which people are actually aware of. I’m not looking to steer people, but I do hope to provide them with a little bit of guidance. Whether they seek to deal with that further, through their church or a psychologist, that’s great, as long as it’s what they feel they need.” Because of her unique approach, Fisher cannot accept insurance payments for her treatments, but she believes the results make it worthwhile. “I understand that money is very tight for many peo-

ple, but this type of therapy is extremely effective,” Fisher said. “I turned to it because I kept running into situations where I felt very inadequate, due to the limits of my practice at the time. Rather than sticking with the fluffy stuff, that leaves you feeling good maybe an hour before its benefits are completely gone, this really gets down to the core issues.” Fisher does ask that her clients maintain a consistent appointment schedule with her, since her goal is to undo damage that has built up gradually. “It took time for your body to get into the state that it’s in,” Fisher said. “It depends on how deep you’re willing to go. Unless you’re willing to go that level, you’re likely to continue going round in circles.” Fisher has found the small-town environment of Arlington much more to her liking than that of her former hometown of Seattle, and she’s begun exploring ways to branch out into the surrounding community, not only by working on horses as well as on humans, but also by providing her services in Darrington once a week. For more information on Healing Wind MFR Therapy, call Fisher at 360-464-0714, email her at HealingWindMassage7@ gmail.com or log onto her website at www. HealingWindMassage.com.

Toys for Tots Chirstmas Run set for Dec. 7

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Runners Club’s Toys For Tots Christmas Run is set to start its race at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 7, with day-of-race registration starting at 9:45 a.m., but those who pre-register no later than Saturday, Nov. 30, will save $5 and get to reserve a T-shirt in their size. The race will be run on the Arlington Airport Trail again this year, with the 5K offering an out-and-back

course of mostly paved running, with a small amount of gravel and trail running, while the 10k will be a lap around the Arlington Airport on the Airport Trail, which is about halfpaved and half-trail running. People with jogging strollers are not uncommon on this course. The start and stop gate will again be located behind the Stillaguamish Athletic Club, at 4417 172nd St. NE in Arlington. Please park

behind the Athletic Club, so that club members have adequate parking. If you park behind the orange traffic cones, parking attendants will help you along the way. Awards for the 5K finishers will be handed out at around noon that day, after which enough people will have completed the 10K for those finishers to start receiving awards. Trophies will be presented to the first-place men’s and wom-

ARLINGTON — Although the Arlington girls basketball team lost six players to graduation from last year’s team that won the 3A Wesco North Championship and placed second at the State Tournament, Head Coach Joe Marsh said he has a number of returning players who he expects to lead this year’s team to another successful season. “We have six girls returning this year that were on the roster last year,” said Marsh. “Out of the six returning players, four of them played a lot of varsity minutes last year.” The returning varsity players include Emma Janousek, Jessica Ludwig, Jayla Russ and Lyndsay Leatherman. In addition, Serafina Balderas and Gracie Castaneda practiced with the varsity and were on the roster during the playoffs. “We’re a young team this year. We had a lot of seniors last year, but this year we have only one senior,” said Marsh. “I think that going to the state playoffs, and going to the State championship game last year gave those younger See EAGLES, PAGE 13

Young players lead Lakewood girls basketball BY SCOTT FRANK

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood girls basketball team returned to the court Nov. 18, and includes a number of returning players from last year’s varsity team. “We lost two players to graduation from last year’s team,” said Head Coach Chris Walster. “But, we are returning six varsity players from that group.” While his team will have a number of returning varsity players, Walster pointed out that more than half of them had made last year’s varsity team as freshmen. “We had five freshmen on the varsity team last year, four of whom are returning this year,” said Walster. “So we’ll have four sophomores — Marissa Blair, Taylor Storms, Reille Jones and Hailey Senyitko — one junior, Hayley Malakowski, and one senior, Cassidy Dvorak. Marissa Blair was our leading scorer last year as a freshman, and was voted second-team all conference.

We’re really excited about what she’ll bring to the team this year.” While Walster said he does not yet know who will be joining those returning players on the varsity team, he said that a number of new players had turned out this year. “We haven’t identified who, other than those six, will be on our varsity team,” said Walster. “But, when practice started on Monday, we had a number of really good players turn out. We’re really excited about what we can do this season.” Walster said his team is looking to improve on last season, when the team had an overall record of 7-13 and finished in fourth place in the Cascade Conference, one spot away from making the district playoffs. “We were a very good half-court defensive team last year. Most of the scoring done on us, especially in the games where teams put up a lot of points, came off of turnovers on our part. As such a young group, we

We’re hoping that problem can get solved this year. We want to make them score in the half court, if we can, and a little less off the fast break,”

said Walster. “I think we will be stronger offensively this year as well. I think the kids are going to be more confident and prepared. With such a big group of really young players last year, they

thought they knew what they were getting into when they started playing at the high school level, after all of the work we had done in the summer. But, until you’re really in that high school

game, you really don’t know what it is going to be like. This year, I think they will have a better idea and, hopefully, we can put some more See COUGARS, PAGE 13

Lakewood High School senior Cassidy Dvorak charges down the paint during the girls basketball team’s practice on Nov. 19. Walster said that one position yet to be determined is the starting point guard, but added that a freshman transfer from Tenino, Natalie Neer, may be able to fill that role. “She could very well be our starting point guard this season,” said Walster. “That was one of the areas last year, with so many young players, we really didn’t have a strong presence. We didn’t have that strong point guard to lead the team and run the

offense. We’re hoping that someone will step up, and she can definitely be a candidate to take that job this year.” Lakewood starts the season Dec. 3 with a home game against La Conner, a non-league opponent. The Cougars start league play on Dec. 10 when they face Archbishop Murphy.

players a ton of experience that is going to help us a lot this year. I started a freshman, Jayla Russ, and a sophomore, Jessica Ludwig, in the State championship game last year. They actually started throughout the playoffs, so they got a lot of great experience that is going to help us. They are going to be two of our main players this year.” In addition to the six players with varsity experience, Marsh said he expects a number of sophomores to also make the varsity team this year, including Olivia Larson, Sevi Biesler, Sarah Shortt and Emmi Modahl. Tryouts and practices started on Nov. 18, and Marsh said on Nov. 19 that the varsity roster was still being determined. “We’ll spend the first three days evaluating the kids, and then we’ll make decisions about teams and who goes where,” said Marsh. “From there, we just start practicing and getting ready for games.” The Eagles’ season begins with three non-conference

season goes on we’ll build on those things.” While the coach said he has some strong individual players, he believes that teamwork is critical to be successful. “I think, that as a coach, teamwork is what I look for,” said Marsh. “We have some good players, no doubt about it, but I think we must come together as a team. We call it ‘family basketball.’ For us to be successful, it’s going to have to be the group of us. We’re not going to ride on the shoulders of one or two players. We are going to have to have a bunch of players step up and do it together if we are going to be successful.” Marsh said, “I have a great group of kids. I am really excited for this group. They really buy into the idea of family basketball, so I think it is going to be fun for us.”

games, the first of which is a Dec. 4 home game against 3A Marysville-Pilchuck High School. “Those non-conference games, especially for us as we’re so young, will be a good chance for those girls who haven’t had any varsity experience to get some varsity experience before we go into league play, which are the games that really count. Our first league game is at Monroe on Dec. 13,” said Marsh. While his team has not yet set any long-term goals, Marsh said he has some short-term goals for his team. “Our first goal is to start coming together as a team,” said Marsh. “I really want to start with us being competitive in Wesco, and giving ourselves a chance to make it to the playoffs again.

points on the board. I told the girls we had to work really hard for our points last year, and I would like to get some easy points this year, if possible.” Walster said that with six returning varsity players, they will immediately be able to start focusing on preparing for the season. “Because we have six returners to the varsity team, we are going to jump in pretty quickly, and I definitely think we will be stronger, with that maturity and the knowledge of the system from their time last year,” said Walster. “I think we can get out to a good start, and be off and running fairly quickly.” The coach said he already knows what roles some of the players will take on. “Hailey Senyitko, at only 5’4”, was a starter last year and our leading three-point shooter. We’re hoping that she’ll improve on that and continue to be our leader,” said Walster. “Hayley Malakowski is our defensive stopper. She gets her hands on a lot of basketballs and spends a lot of time interrupting the other team’s offense. She’s a junior and we expect big things out of her.”

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Family YMCA’s Military Family Night on Saturday, Nov. 16, drew an estimated 50 people over the course of the evening, roughly the same as last year’s event, but Allison Hoot, youth and family coordinator for the Marysville Y, is already hoping to attract at least 100 people for next year’s event. As part of the YMCA of Snohomish County’s Military Family Month in November, the Marysville Y building opened its doors exclusively to military families from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Nov. 16, and treated them to activities ranging from sit-down family dinners to free-for-all dodgeball, as well as time in the Y’s “Adventure Zone,” which comes equipped with an elaborate indoor jungle gym. While local Girl Scouts supervised the making of crafts, the Arlington High School Robotics Team treated attendees to an exhibition of their competition robot for this year, albeit not without some delays. “I know the robot was a bit problematic at first,” Hoot said. “It took a break for a little bit, but came back strong. The kids had a great time driving it, as well as chasing the other kids down around the basketball court. Dinner turned out great, thanks to a large group of probably about 25 volunteers who helped to set it up, serve it and clean up after it, all while making sure our guest families were taken care of.” “It’s nice that they do this,” said Joshua Williams, an 11-year Navy veteran who just arrived in Washington state a few months ago, and has quickly come to appreciate his more generous work schedule at Naval Station Everett. “It’s the difference between working nine or 10 hours a day here, versus the 15 hours a day I was working before. It gives me more time to spend with my family, which is good, because both our girls love

me, and they’re getting to the age where they want to do more stuff with me.” Brandon Lang has only had his own wife and kids for the last few of the 17 years he’s served in the Army, but now that he’s one of the active-duty personnel stationed at the Marysville Armed Forces Reserve Center, he’s taking as much advantage as he can of his own off-duty time to bond with his family through activities such as the Y’s Military Family Night. “My wife and I do everything with the kids, and for the kids, as much as we can,” said Lang, who had to say goodbye to one of his children after their first birthday, so he could serve in Afghanistan for the following year. “This is all really awesome. I just wish it was advertised more. I’m never going to complain when I get free food,” he laughed. Hoot echoed Lang’s suggestion by pledging to recruit more military families into not only next year’s event, but also other Marysville YMCA events in the meantime. “With the Nimitz, the Shoup and other Navy boats coming back over the next couple of months, we hope to plan a date night, where moms and dads can go out and get reacquainted, while their kids play at the Y,” said Hoot, who promised to release more details on that event shortly. “We’re always looking for more ideas on how to serve our military community.” Those who wish to give feedback or suggest activities should contact Hoot by phone at 360-651-1607 or via email at ahoot@ymcasnoco.org. The Marysville Family YMCA’s Military Family Night was funded through a partnership with the Armed Services YMCA, which provides free and low-cost youth development, healthy living and social responsibility programs for junior enlisted military members and their families, to make military life easier.
