City responds to AG’s opinion on marijuana businesses BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Boys & Girls Club is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and they’re asking for the surrounding community’s support to help the club continue to serve local kids. “This facility was built to the size of the money that was available at the time,” said Bill Tsoukalas, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County. “It’s actually one of the smaller clubs today. We need to nearly double its size to keep pace with this area’s growth.” To that end, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County are conducting a fundraising campaign to expand the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, by increasing its square footage from 13,000 to 23,000, adding a second gym, updating the equipment in the games room, and adding both a new teen center and a technology center. Hadley Hall, which serves as the facility’s current teen center, would refurbished to better serve the needs of the broader community. Between $1.3 million for construction, $100,000 for equipment and furnishings, $25,000 for the architecture and engineering, and $75,000 to provide much-needed additional parking, the total estimated cost of the renovation would be $1.5 million. “When the Arlington Boys & Girls Club first opened in Arlington in 1974, it was just the Arlington Boys Club, and the city of Arlington had a total

ARLINGTON — A recently released opinion from the Washington State Attorney General’s Office ties into the city of Arlington’s pending decision on how to address the potential establishment of marijuana businesses within the city’s limits. In response to a request from Sharon Foster, chair of the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the office of Attorney General Bob Ferguson released a formal opinion on Thursday, Jan. 16, regarding local ordinances affecting new marijuana businesses in Washington.

The opinion states, “Under Washington law, there is a strong presumption against finding that state law preempts local ordinances. Although Initiative 502 establishes a licensing and regulatory system for marijuana producers, processors and retailers in Washington state, it includes no clear indication that it was intended to preempt local authority to regulate such businesses. We therefore conclude that I-502 left in place the normal powers of local governments to regulate within their jurisdictions.” “The Attorney General’s opinion confirms that the Attorney General, at least, believes that local

governments can use their zoning and police powers to impose additional requirements besides those imposed by the Liquor Control Board,” said Steve Peiffle, who serves as the city attorney for the city of Arlington. “It supports the concept of additional regulations like what Arlington has been proposing.” Paul Ellis, community and economic development director for the city of Arlington, explained that what the city’s Planning Commission is proposing is not a total ban on marijuana producers, processors or retailers, but is instead recommending that the SEE , PAGE 20

CLUB FROM PAGE 1 population of about 2,000 people,” said Bill Kinney, the unit director of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club at the Arlington Municipal Airport. “Now, 2,000 is the number of kids that we serve at this club. Even when this facility opened in 1992, the town’s population was only about 4,600 people. We’ve grown a lot since then, and there’s literally not enough

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

room for us here now.” Kinney started with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club as its gym supervisor on Jan. 2, 1992, the same day that its current facility at the Arlington Airport opened. As of Saturday, Jan. 18, he’s still active in the gym, serving as one of the referees of the youth basketball games during the teams’ picture day. While Kinney recalled how the club originally opened at the Alamo building on Division Street in

downtown Arlington, that now houses the Mirkwood & Shire Cafe, before it tried to fit into the storefronts of Olympic Avenue, what he’s witnessed most closely has been the heavy use that the club’s current facility has undergone, as the oncesparsely populated area surrounding the airport has turned into a hub of activity, and the city’s population has swollen to around 18,000 people. “On picture day alone, we get 70 teams of 10

kids each,” Kinney said, in between blowing his whistle for one of the three concurrent games that were cycling through the gym on Jan. 18. “We’ll have run more than 30 games here by the time this day is done, and we need to use the gym facilities at Post Middle School and in Darrington at the same time, just to keep up with the demand. Even with them taking the pressure off of us, our floorboards are 23 years old and have already taken a beating.”

The indoor basketball courts at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club just recently received new hoops, but their electronic scoreboards are so old that Kinney and his staff have to replace their lights on a weekly basis. Moreover, the Arlington Boys & Girls Club isn’t big enough to accommodate all of its nonathletic programs either, since many of its beforeand after-school programs, which used to be hosted by the former Arlington High School building on French

733899

Street, were moved at the start of this school year to Presidents Elementary. “When we started out here, there were no afterschool programs,” Kinney said. “Now, there are hundreds of kids who use those programs, just like every Saturday, we have at least a hundred kids in the games room, waiting to use our gym. The games room fills up on weekday afternoons at 5 p.m. too, when we have to kick kids out of the gym for sports practices.” Kinney would welcome a second gymnasium on-site, especially since it wouldn’t require his staff to coordinate between satellite sites. Like Kaylee Diggs, who has an extended history of her own with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, Kinney loves that the club is so busy, but wishes that it could serve the kids’ needs better. “I first came here from fourth through eighth grade,” said Diggs, who’s currently enrolled in the University of Washington. “I came back when I was around 16 and a sophomore at Lakewood High School, to do stuff like referee the volleyball games. I really enjoy working with these kids. You really get to know them, and they become your little friends.” Diggs credited the friendships that she struck up with Arlington Boys & Girls Club staff members with inspiring her to emulate their example, not only by returning to the club to serve as a staff member herself, but also by majoring in early childhood family studies at UW. “I really owe this club a debt,” Diggs said. “I’m not the only one. If you look at the success of Arlington High School’s athletic programs over the years, I’d say a lot of that has to do with the numbers of kids that started playing sports here. You can learn a lot at this place.” “My kids are sports kids,” said Arlington mom Kim Deisher-Allen, whose three boys and one girl have gotten ample use out of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. “My oldest two have moved on up to the Stilly Valley programs, but my youngest two are still here. The only difference is that I’m coming here three times a week rather than five. This club started them all out in sports.” “We want to be here for your kids for another 40 years,” Kinney said. “But we need to be able to grow with the community in order to do it.” For more information, you can contact Kinney by phone at 360-435-4442, or via email at bkinney@bgcsc. org, or by logging onto www. bgcsc.org.

Eagle Festival showcases nature, art

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — While the seventh annual ArlingtonStillaguamish Eagle Festival promises a full day of activities and exhibits on Saturday, Feb. 1, many of the festivities will get a head-start on Friday, Jan. 31. The Eagle Festival’s Friday events are set to include paddlerafting on the Stillaguamish River heading out from Haller Park at 10:30 a.m., the first of two days of the Country Carvers Chainsaw Carving Show from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Legion Park, the Art Show

reception — with wine-tasting, a chamber concert and the haiku poetry contest entries on display — at Magnolia Hall from 5-8 p.m., and live musical entertainment kicking off at 7:30 p.m. at the Mirkwood & Shire Cafe. “The three winning haiku poems will be imprinted in concrete in a plaza area as part of the 67th Avenue project,” said city of Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez, who’s also proud to present the Rock, Paper, Scissors Art Show at Magnolia Hall on Feb. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.”We’re excited to host the Marysville

Rock & Gem Club, as well as the Monroe Gold N Gem Prospecting Association, and Arlington Arts Council members Sharon Johnson and Virginia Hatch have been working hard to gather a great group of textile artists to demonstrate their skills at the Nature Art Show.” With those two groups serving as the “Rock” and “Scissors” of the show, the Arts Council will additionally represent “Paper” through its annual Eagle Photo Contest. That Saturday will also feature two “Predators of the Heart”

wild animal shows sponsored by Calvary Arlington — at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at Eagle Creek Elementary — which Lopez expects should free up more floorspace in the Arlington City Council Chambers for the return of the Sarvey Wildlife Center’s open house from noon to 4 p.m. “You can see Sarvey’s live birds of prey, just like the Seahawks,” Lopez laughed, before she also recommended the 9-10 a.m. tour of the city’s storm water wetland and Eagle Trail on Feb. 1, as well as birdwatching at the Port Susan Bay Nature Conservancy from 10

a.m. to noon that same Saturday. “Hopefully our decent weather will hold out, so that lots of people will want to check it out.” “The Eagle Festival is a great opportunity, on these short winter days, to get the kids outside and have some fun,” city of Arlington Natural Resources Director Bill Blake said. “This is definitely an event for the entire family, with a variety of things to see and do, and it’s free.” To learn more about the Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival, log onto www.arlingtonwa.gov/eaglefest.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Logic not part of decision when elected officials go against voters The Planning Commission voted on Tuesday, Jan. 14, in a 4-2 vote, to recommend to prohibit the highly regulated businesses of producing, processing and sale of a substance that would drive the illegal element of marijuana out of Marysville. More than 50 percent of Marysville voting constituents approved of this change in our system. Change is always difficult for a community that does not embrace diversity. Accepting diversity is a key to personal growth and acceptance of other’s differences, in my opinion. Women in the work force, Hispanic or black people or immigrants, gay or lesbian life options are all part of accepting changes. If you ask me, change is opportunity. Change is going to happen no matter what. Taking a different approach to an old idea is another view on change to an existing problem. Marijuana is all around us. If you do not think so, you are unaware of your surroundings. Currently, marijuana is a gateway to other narcotic sales. The local drug dealer has a business plan to up-sell and hook you on a nailgripping drug called heroin. As stated before, over 50 percent of voters in Marysville want to have access to this highly regulated new industry. The level of regulation has been questioned by local authorities. How ridiculous is that. That is a view people take when the unknown is part of one’s decision. No progress is made with that view. The highly regulated new industry is going to eradicate the illegal element of marijuana. Currently, 6.5 percent of eighth-graders, 17 percent of 10th-graders, and 22.9 percent of 12th-graders use marijuana. Where do you think these kids are getting this drug? In my opinion, there are two ways

to get this drug. One is through their parents. The second way is through fellow friends that are teen drug dealers. Do you think this heroin epidemic in Marysville started by parents offering their kids heroin? No! Who do you think is above the teen drug dealer? The drug dealer with an inspirational business plan is above the teen drug dealer and is going to remain the source of marijuana now. Marijuana will continue to be the gateway drug to heroin? Do you understand the advantage of making this product an over-thecounter purchase rather than part of a business plan that is going to keep the wheel of fortune spinning for drug dealers? At the meeting on Jan. 14, which was originally scheduled for March, the people opposed to this highly regulated business talked about the kids or young adults in Marysville. Keep the kids safe. This is where logic is not playing a part in the people that were influenced by this very emotional position. Keeping kids safe is a number one priority. That is why making this substance legal will help eradicate other drug use in Marysville. No one intends to jump right into using heroin. Once the relationship between drug dealer and client is established, the gateway to a drug dealer profits is limitless. That is why Marysville should accept this highly regulated industry. Parenting starts at home, not in the highly regulated industry. Church advocates are using an old approach to a socio-economic issue. Do not get me wrong. Your approach is very good and substantial. I applaud your efforts. Adding transparency to a hidden problem creates another source of stability to a volatile and controversial Marysville epidemic. The goal — Marijuana will not be used as a gateway to heroin or other drugs once this new industry market share increases and the drug dealer’s market share is eliminated.

A trophy on a dung heap

eonardo DiCaprio won the Golden Globe best actor award for his portrayal of Jordan Belfort in the movie, The Wolf of Wall Street. He delivered a stellar interpretation of a Wall Street psychopath, of which there are many. DiCaprio already has two best-actor awards, having picked off top awards in 2005 and 2007 for The Aviator and Blood Diamond. No doubt about it, he delivers powerful characterizations but the kind words end here and I have a suspicion that many who saw the movie will understand why. Timid reviewers pointed to The Wolf as being an up-date of the classic Michael Douglas film, Wall Street, in which Douglas played conscienceless Gordon Gecko who, like Jordan Belfort, was a classic psychopath. What reviewers failed to point out to their readers was that director Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street dragged viewers into hell-onearth degradation that left them feeling soiled. I wouldn’t be surprised if many rushed home to try to scrub away the overload of visual offenses. I left the theater feeling dirty. Maybe that was intended. Maybe Scorsese planned for his audiences to crawl in Jordan Belfort’s moral gutter so they could fully appreciate the level of depravity that can still be found in America’s financial centers. Jordan Belfort was the typical psychopath who tramples fellow workers and clients to claim power and wealth. Real psychopaths were profiled in Babiak and Hare’s book, Snakes in Suits. The clinical description of psychopathic behaviors includes lack of empathy, promiscuous sexual behavior, irresponsibility, grandiose sense of self-worth,

superficial charm, lying, manipulativeness, lack of remorse or guilt and a whole catalog of other antisocial traits. What’s really scary is that the concentration of psychopaths among CEOs is estimated to be four times greater than across the general population. In the reviewers’ defense, they were faced with sorting DiCaprio’s virtuoso performance from a background of world-class bad behavior, a stunning procession of lurid images and use of the F-word 506 times. The film didn’t pause at tasteless nudity and loveless sex before charging on into, well, if you let your imagination run wild it still won’t grasp what they did on camera. The Wolf posed a trap for critics in that it rounded up filthy piggish behavior on such a grand scale that moral disapproval might have made critical reviews seem squeamish or frightened. This criticism can’t pass without some words about film ratings. The Wolf hit theaters carrying an R-21 rating — as restrictive as you can get, short of X. The whole rating system needs a fresh look because it purports to keep young minds clean while stating that it’s okay for adults to wallow in degradation. Something is amiss when R-ratings carry the message that nasty stuff becomes an approved part of entertainment diet once you grow up. Kids have copied adult behavior since time began, even bad behavior. Bans and restrictions whet their curiosity. Bans remind me

of my years in the Army when the company bulletin board carried lists of off-limits sites that we took as The Tourists’ Guide. Critical acceptance of The Wolf is far from universal. Malaysia and Nepal banned it. As much as 45 minutes of questionable content has been cut in parts of Europe, across the Mid-East and into India. The entire movie might have been banned everywhere had it not been for its spot-on identification of Wall Street’s frequent psychopathic victimization of investors. Overly coarse movies aren’t exclusively an American thing. I’m fresh back from the Palm Springs International Film Festival where I suffered through a gritty-nasty film from Poland titled Traffic Department. Degradation and violence made it and a Philippine offering, Metro Manila, hard to watch. The difference was that the Polish and Philippine films employed documentary accuracy without stooping to rub audiences’ noses in wall-to-wall bad stuff. The similarity is that foreign baddies display the same psychopathic behaviors as Jordan Belmont and Gordon Gecko — and uncounted real people who continue in their footsteps. Scorsese’s films have always been long on a seamy excess that taints his otherwise creative work. If you’re inclined to take a walk on the wild side, you might try sitting through some of them. Try Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Gangs of New York and Shutter Island. According to reviewers, his Wolf of Wall Street was his first effort at comedy. Comedy? I was not amused.

Liberty students kick off ‘Rachel’s Challenge’ BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The students of Liberty Elementary received a visit from Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring on Wednesday, Jan. 15, as they kicked off their third year of “Rachel’s Challenge,” a campaign designed to inspire acts of kindness in the memory of Rachel Joy Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings. “Acts of kindness are like chain reactions, because they inspire other people to do kind things,” Tami Taylor, a TOSA for the school, told students during an assembly that morning. “Remember, if you catch any of your fellow students being kind, write that down

on a chain link. Last year, our chain made it all the way to the Mayor’s office.” Nehring himself recalled how the chain of paper links, each one recording an act of kindness by a Liberty Elementary student, had managed to extend along the streets and sidewalks of Marysville, between the school and his own office in the Marysville City Hall, and he praised the students for their achievement. “Our city employees were so inspired by it that they still talk about it,” Nehring told the students during the Jan. 15 assembly. “Traffic stopped as passersby tried to figure out what was going on. In a very real sense, your acts of kindness made a difference to the whole city. I’ll bet there

were a bunch of grownups who saw what you’d done and said to themselves, ‘If those kids can commit to that many acts of kindness, we as adults should be able to do the same.’” “It’s like when you throw a rock in a pond, and all the ripples move out across the water,” school librarian Cathy Russell said. “What you do and say moves out to the world around you, and whether you’re kind or unkind, it can create ripples.” Russell tested the students’ math skills when she presented them with this year’s goal of 100 chain links of acts of kindness for every classroom at the school, by pointing out that many of those classes have 25 or more students, so by divid-

ing 100 by 25, students realized that each one of them was responsible for four acts of kindness, which Russell deemed an easily achievable goal for the motivated students of Liberty Elementary. “With all the acts of kindness that you do every day, I’m so proud to be your principal,” said Liberty Elementary Principal Gloria Henderson, who recalled how one of her peers had performed an act of kindness for her when she was in the sixth grade, by helping her up from the floor

ground. That kindness is why I chose to be a teacher, and then a principal. It had a ripple effect on my life.”

ARLINGTON — Whether you already have a green thumb or your interest in horticulture is just budding, the Arlington Community Garden currently has a limited number of planting beds available, adjacent to the Arlington Library at the intersection of N. Washington Avenue and E. Second Street. “While 24 of the Community Garden’s 27 plots are taken, the remaining three are available right now,” said Virginia Hatch, one of the volunteer coordinators of the Arlington Community Garden. “There’s a waiting list for the other planting beds. If you give us your contact information, we’ll not only let you know when those are free, but we’ll also notify you about all of our upcoming gardening classes.” Hatch reassured those who don’t wish to be bothered too often by updates that the Arlington Community Garden’s classes for this spring and summer are still being scheduled. “They’ll be a bit sporadic, since this is being done on an all-volunteer basis,” Hatch said. “We’re hoping to have four or five classes this season, including one on raising earthworms. We had a class on garlic last year that was extremely popular.” This year’s rental fees for the Arlington Community Garden are running at $20 per plot, which Hatch touted as a modest expense for the wealth of learning experience it can offer. “Maintaining your own portion of a garden gives you a whole laboratory

This year, we even have a Camp Fire group tending to one of the planting beds. It’s a lot of fun to watch the kids working intently on their plots.” The city of Arlington provides the land and water to nurture the plants, in exchange for the Arlington Community Garden volunteers looking after the area through cooperative efforts with their tenant gardeners. “As much as anything, you can take advantage of the opportunity to be around other people and get acquainted

with your fellow community members,” Hatch said. “A lot of folks nowadays don’t even know their neighbors, but I’ve seen lasting friendships develop through the Community Garden. Even if you’re not a gardener, we welcome visitors to wander through and appreciate the scene. We even have a bench set out so that people can read the books they check out from the library just across the street.” To rent a planting bed, or to obtain more information on the guidelines for using the Garden, call Hatch at 360403-1011, or email her at vhatch2384@ comcast.net.

‘Still: The Web Series’ screens on Jan. 25 kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Area fans of horror will get to catch the latest episode of a locally produced web series that’s starting to attract positive attention, from critics and genre icons alike, when it premieres at the Historic Everett Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 25, at 7 p.m. Arlington filmmaker Jonathan Holbrook debuted “Still: The Web Series” online on Oct. 2 of last year, after shooting in Arlington, Everett and other Puget Sound locations starting in the spring of 2013, but an injury forced a hiatus in production, in the middle of his planned first season of 15 episodes. “My patellar tendon ruptured and my leg collapsed out from under me,” Holbrook said. “I’ve finally gotten to the point where I can get around without crutches, but everyone’s been asking me, ‘When will episode 8 air?’ We’re going to run it as the midseason finale, along with all seven preceding episodes, during the second night of the Short 10 Cinema Webfest at the Historic Everett Theatre,

after which it’ll be available online.” Clayton Ballard, whose original songs open each episode of “Still,” will be performing at the Historic Everett Theatre that Saturday night, prior to the screening, which will be followed by a question-andanswer session with the cast and crew. “Pat Cashman, who appeared in episode 7, will be co-hosting the show that night with local comedian Michelle Westford,” Holbrook said. “This is the first screening of ‘Still’ anywhere. We made all eight episodes to date for less than $2,000, and the great reviews have just taken off. We’ve even been officially selected for the 2014 L.A. Web Series Festival, so we’ll be heading to California in March.” As the web series has gained a higher profile, so have a number of genre actors entered into talks with Holbrook to put in possible appearances. Kevin Gage, who costarred with Robert De Niro in “Heat,” and Brent David Fraser, who appeared in “The Chocolate War” and David

Arlington filmmaker Jonathan Holbrook shot a scene for ‘Still: The Web Series’ on Olympic Avenue, in front of the Blue Bird Cafe, on Sept. 14 of last year. Lynch’s “Wild at Heart,” are currently in negotiations with Holbrook, who’s also hoping to secure two other notable horror movie actors whom he can’t name yet. “We’ve even got ‘Still’ action figures that are being prototyped right now, with Meredith Binder, who’s on our posters, as the first ‘Still,’” Holbrook said. “I just want to thank everyone who’s given us so much support in making ‘Still: The

Web Series’ a reality.” For more information on the Short 10 Cinema Webfest at the Historic Everett Theatre, log onto www.short10cinema.com or http://experienceeverett. com/event/short-10-cinemawebfest.

Arlington falls to Jackson, 70-51 BY BRANDON ADAM badam@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Eagles boys basketball team tasted defeat for its second time this season, losing to Jackson, 70-51, on Jan. 21. With a perfect league record, Jackson is currently No. 1 in the state, only losing its first game against Lincoln the day before. “They’re the best team in the state,” Arlington Head Coach Nick Brown said. “They were well coached.” The Eagles were able to keep pace with Jackson despite a slow start in the first quarter, but Arlington couldn’t keep up with Jackson’s tempo in the later quarters. Jackson outscored the Eagles in all four quarters. The first quarter started with Jackson scoring first with a fieldgoal, and then Arlington retaliating with one of its own. Soon after that, Jackson went on a scoring spree, in which they lead Arlington 11-3, by the Eagles’ first timeout at 4:32. Brown made some adjustments to

the Eagles’ game plan, as they were able to rally.

Senior guard Brady Brummel started the comeback, sinking a three. The much-needed three-pointer was followed up by a goal from senior post Noah Jones. Jones ended up being Arlington’s highest scorer, contributing 13 points overall. Arlington had more then a fighting chance to come back when its rally was capped off by a tip-in from junior wing Nathan Aune. Aune also secured a scoring opportunity, slapping a stray ball to keep it in bounds for Jones to score, right before the buzzer sounded as the first quarter ended. The Eagles were able to hold on to a one-point game by the end of the first quarter, with the score at 15-14. Jackson made frequent appearances to the free-throw line, and they were converting. In the first half, Arlington had 10 fouls. The Eagles were not able to score much in the second quarter, only scoring eight points. Jackson more then doubled the scoring of Arlington before halftime, scoring 18 points.

At halftime, the Eagles trailed 33-22. The Eagles came back out from halftime, only to be outscored again in the third quarter. Before Arlington could answer back, Jackson had scored seven unanswered points. Arlington senior guard Gavin Smoke got hot in the later half of the period, sinking three three-point goals in the third quarter. Smoke led all players in three-point goals. “We’re an entertaining team to watch,” Brown said. Though Smoke scored 13 points in the third quarter, it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Jackson. The Eagles were still behind Jackson, 54-38, as the third quarter ended. In the final quarter, Jackson coasted to take the win over Arlington, scoring 16 points to Arlington’s 13. It may have been a humbling moment for Arlington, but Brown is still hopeful for the playoffs. “I have confidence in my team,” Brown said. “We just have to bounce back. Brown’s goal is for his team to get into the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. As of Jan. 25, Arlington’s league record is 9-1, with an overall record of 14-2.

Lakewood grapplers host non-league meet BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Lakewood Cougars hosted La Connor, Concrete and Darrington in a non-league wrestling meet Jan. 22. The match paid an important tribute to Lakewood Assistant Coach Tim Caldwell, whose life was claimed by cancer last year. Lakewood wrestlers had the term “4 Tim” written on either their arm or shoulder in remembrance of the coach. The match itself did not count toward the league standings. “It was just for the thrill of wrestling,” Lakewood Head Coach Tom O’Hara said. “It’s just so kids can wrestle in front of their parents before our last few meets.” O’Hara said that the match also prepares the wrestlers for future meets. Lakewood faced off against Darrington first, losing a close match, 38-33. Both teams had pins against each other. In the 285-pound weight class, Lakewood senior Tristan Nelson pinned Darrington’s Parker Angeles in 15 seconds of the first round. In the 170-pound weight class, junior Gage Gilbertson also

earned a first-round pin, pinning Darrington’s freshman William Woodward. Lakewood suffered early pins as well. 220-pound Lakewood freshman Trevor Chase in the was pinned in the first round, and so was 195-pound Lakewood senior James Fernandes. In the 120-pound weight class, freshman Matt Ramirez pinned Darrington’s Rachel Shoreson in the third round. In the 138pound weight class, Lakewood senior Drake Mosteller pinned Darrington senior Tyler Hollifield. Though Lakewood ended up leading for a while, 24-19, a pin by Darrington put them behind with a score of 25-24. Lakewood bounced back with another pin allowing them to comeback with the score at 30-25. In the 182-pound weight class, Lakewood senior Jeff Harrison battled it out with Darrington junior Oliver Rankin, winning a three-round decision, extending Lakewood’s lead. Lakewood couldn’t hold onto the lead, ultimately falling 38-33. Lakewood’s second match was against Concrete, a much smaller wrestling team. O’Hara said they did not keep record of the score.

SHERMAN FROM PAGE 12 every year, good, bad or indifferent. This area loves its football team, especially this team, this year. And how could you not? I got on this bandwagon back in August though I would never consider myself “12th Man,” I have been loudly and proudly touting this team to all of my East Coast friends. And, like you, I spent Sunday afternoon pacing around my living room feverishly rubbing my hands together and yelling at my television when it was necessary. Also like you, when Richard Sherman tipped the ball away from Michael Crabtree and into the waiting hands of Malcolm Smith (just like they drew it up!), I yelled in relief and jumped up and down in celebration. I love Richard Sherman. He’s the best in his position and not only did San Francisco know it (they didn’t throw in his direction all day), he proved it when on the only pass going his way he launched himself into the air and made a game-saving tip, punching the 12th Man’s ticket to football’s promised land. Or, at least in this case, New Jersey. Then came the now world-famous Sherman “rant” with sideline “reporter” Erin Andrews in which Sherman proclaimed himself the best and the receiver he just beat “mediocre,” adding “Don’t talk about me!” Again, I love that guy. I loved the interview. I love the energy. I loved that it wasn’t the standard cliches.

But then I was also not surprised when a whole bunch of people freaked out. However, the vitriol aimed at Sherman this week has been ridiculous and stupid. The man had literally just made a play that sent his team to the pinnacle of their sport, besting a receiver with whom he has had issues in the past. THEN, and this is what they didn’t show on television, he patted the receiver on the butt and stuck out his hand, saying “Good game.” That’s when Michael Crabtree pushed Richard Sherman right in the facemask. You can watch it. There’s gifs of it, there’s video, there’s photos. Google it. It’s a fact. At that point, by Sherman’s own admission, he “went off ” and threw a “choke” signal at the San Francisco quarterback, who, let’s be honest, choked, and was promptly hit with a taunting penalty. Thirty seconds later, he was talking to Erin Andrews and the instant punditry of Twitter and Facebook lit up with the n-word and, as captured so perfectly in that headphones commercial they played during the game, the word “thug.” And I laughed and laughed and laughed. See, I had a chance to meet Richard Sherman earlier this year at an event at Foster High School in Tukwila. Sherman was a surprise guest at the school’s homecoming pep rally and arrived bearing brand new cleats for every member of the relatively poor high school’s football team. He talked to the kids, judged a dance contest, and then headed over to a second event at the school, put

January 25, 2014

on by his Blanket Coverage Foundation. At the event, Sherman and his foundation provided about 100 kids with backpacks filled with school supplies and other things, like socks. But Sherman, who grew up in poverty in Oakland, was quick to say it was not “charity” but an “investment” in the kids, all of whom he made sign a contract to get a backpack. The contract states that every kid who got a backpack has to keep their grades up and stay out of trouble. If they do, they get another pack full of supplies next year. In between events, I had an opportunity to talk to

Sherman. I found him to be friendly, intelligent, wellspoken and truly dedicated to helping kids get out of poverty. Richard Sherman was his high school salutatorian and went on the graduate from Stanford with a degree in communications. The man is very smart, very driven and very personable. Like a lot of people, I had a preconceived notion of Sherman based on his antics

on the field and around game time. But I have to say, I was instantly made a fan and I realized that the persona of Richard Sherman on the field and the actual person Richard Sherman off the field were somewhat different guys. The country will realize that this week too. Richard Sherman is great for Seattle and great for the game of football.

If he wants to go on TV

and proclaim himself better than some other dude after making a play that kind of proves it, I am all for it. And I can’t wait to watch him prove it again against Peyton Manning. Go Hawks.
