DARRINGTON — When Arlington’s Mark Tabor first saw the state of the Darrington Rodeo Grounds, he knew that he and his fellow WorkSource Snohomish County hires had their work cut out for them. “That was the hardest thing, was
just seeing how much improvement was needed on that first day,” Tabor said on May 28, during his second day of labor. “The whole site was just in a bad state. If OSHA could have seen the stands, they would have had a fit.” Fortunately for the Darrington Horse Owners Association, Tabor and his more than two dozen fellow temporary-hire laborers are making

short work of the rodeo grounds. Amy Persell, director of service delivery for WorkSource, speculated that their repairs could be complete even sooner than the two-week window they’d scheduled to prepare for the June 21-22 Timberbowl Rodeo. “I’m just happy to know that people will be able to enjoy the results of our work, over and over and over

again,” Tabor said, as he sawed a fresh plank of wood to replace the rotting ones in the rodeo bleachers. Danielle Dewberry, who’s lived in Darrington for eight years, was equally enthusiastic about WorkSource’s post-slide recovery work, as she pressure washed another set of bleachers. SEE SLIDE, PAGE 2

LAKEWOOD — Close to 30 employers from throughout Snohomish County gathered at Lakewood Middle School May 28 to provide high school students with opportunities to seek jobs for the summer. The event was part of WorkSource Snohomish County’s second “Summer Palooza Job Fair” of the month. Both Caleb Byrum and Stevie Biggs were filling out applications that afternoon, many of them for stores at the Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip. Biggs has already graduated from Monroe High School, and hopes to attend Everett Community College in the fall, while Byrum is wrapping up his sophomore year at Arlington High School. “Before I think about a major, I just want to make sure I have funding for my higher education,” said Biggs, who had never attended a job fair before. “This is really cool. It’s given me lots to think about, in terms of exploring temporary and permanent career fields.”

Caleb’s mom, Carrie, agreed with Biggs that the Summer Palooza could have benefitted from some extra promotion. “We saw it in the paper, and he told his friend, so they both showed up,” Carrie Byrum said, as Caleb was joined by fellow AHS sophomore William Schamp. “Caleb will enter Running Start next year to become an accountant, so he needs to make some money to pay for that.” “We’ve done the Summer Palooza for years, but this is our first year doing it outside of the Everett WorkSource station,” said Rachel Gehrman of WorkSource. “We still did our job fair in Everett last week, but this event has allowed us to capture the north end of the county.” Gehrman reported that employers in the retail, food service and health care fields are particularly interested in hiring 16- to 24-year-olds. “Even if you’ve never had a job before, you can enhance your resume by including volunteer-
