EVERETT — On the fourmonth anniversary of the March 22 Oso slide, Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary reported that rescue personnel located the body of 44-year-old Molly Kristine “Kris” Regelbrugge of Arlington, the last of the 43 victims’ bodies to be found.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the identification the next day.

“I’m humbled and honored that we are able to return Kris to her family,” Trenary said.

The body was located at approximately 8 a.m. July 22 on the west side of the slide site, south of Highway 530. Rescue personnel used evidence-based search techniques, often employed by law enforcement in missing persons cases. Personal items believed to belong to the Regelbrugge family had been located in the area.

“It is a testament to the persistence of the sheriff ’s office that, four months after the slide, we recovered the final victim,” County Executive John Lovick said. “The sheriff ’s search and rescue teams are true professionals. I am honored and humbled by their dedication and commitment to this community.”

Although the active search for the remaining slide victims ended April 28, Trenary emphasized that search

“The folks from Darrington, Oso and Arlington never stopped being active partners in the search,” said Trenary, who also credited members of the county executive and medical examiner’s offices, as well as the public works department, the U.S. Navy, IMCO Construction,

and Sheriff ’s Sgt. Danny Wikstrom and Deputy Glen Bergstrom.

“I never imagined that we would have to face this level of tragedy, or that so many people would step up to help us deal with it.”

Michele Donohue will be sentenced July 29.

1082780

EVERETT — As Michelle Donohue awaits her Tuesday, July 29, sentencing in Snohomish County Superior Court for murdering her husband, Byron Wright, in 2004, the question remains: How did she get away with it for nearly a decade?

Sheriff ’s Detective Joe Dunn found himself wondering the same thing after a tip from the jail on Dec. 26, 2013 led to the investigation of Wright’s disappearance.

“The victim had relationships with his family, but as time went on, his wife increasingly isolated him from his family, to the point that there was no real communication at all,” Dunn said. “He had friends, but he wasn’t super-social and he didn’t

go to parties.”

Indeed, even Sharon Diehl, the sister with whom Wright had kept in tenuous contact, didn’t send him a birthday card until 2006, two years after he was killed and one year after Donohue’s divorce in absentia from Wright was finalized.

Marysville gets grants to clean waterfront

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Imagine the city’s waterfront filled with classy restaurants, a boardwalk and boutiques.

Or how about condominiums and a casino? Wouldn’t a park with a stage for concerts and plays be nice?

What, you didn’t even know Marysville has a waterfront? It doesn’t look like much now, but city officials hope it will be something special in the future.

Body FRoM PAGE 1 course of the past two weeks, uncovered evidence of the Regelbrugge household led searchers in a circuitous route through a trail of debris from the couple’s garage, until searchers found a body that was much deeper than any of the other bodies, about 100 yards from where John Regelbrugge was located.

The recovery of the body was lengthy, since the area needed to be made safe for personnel.

“We all wanted this day, but it represents not so much closure as the end of a chapter, because we don’t want to underplay the loss of life here,” Trenary said.

“Every day, we had new information, but this time, the evidence led us to where we needed to be.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said it’s part of the Downtown Revitalization vision, which includes the recently completed and widely popular Spray Park.

“We want a vibrant downtown that’s generating income and where everybody has jobs,” Nehring said, adding the goal is to have private enterprise build up the waterfront.

The downtown master plan calls for a waterfront trail and mixed use of business and living space on the property south of Penny’s.

Four years ago the city bought the former Ed and Susan Geddes five-acre marina at 1326 1st St. for $1.9 million. It took four years to decide on a price,

as the Geddeses filed suit against the city due to surface water flowing into the marina. Bill Geddes had owned the property in the 1930s as a retention pond for a lumber mill.

The city has been applying for grants to clean up the site for years.

The city was awarded a $200,000 hazardous substances cleanup Brownsfield grant from the Environmental Protection Agency Oct. 1 of last year.

A month later it received an Integrated Planning Grant from the state Department of Ecology for a similar amount. It has hired Maul Foster Alongi Consultants for $304,000 for a contract that runs from July 15, 2014

MuRdER FRoM PAGE 1 Donohue called her to say that Wright was gone, claiming that he had run off with another woman.

Even then, Diehl didn’t attempt to file a missing persons report until a few years later, around the same time she started a Facebook page devoted to finding him in 2009.

“I don’t know why that missing persons report wasn’t taken back then,” Dunn said. “It must have slipped through the cracks.”

Even if the report had been filed, it wouldn’t have impacted Donohue’s divorce.

“That’s handled by the civil courts,” Dunn said. “It started about five years before anyone even tried

to Dec. 31, 2017.

Past activities at the location, including painting, boat sanding and fuel and oil storage and handling, likely contaminated the site with arsenic, cadmium and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition, stormwater discharge from the adjacent mill site has likely caused some of the contamination. The property was historically used as a marina, but the city has stopped renewing leases and has removed several boat houses, the grant says.

Nehring said the city knew the site was contaminated when it bought it, and it also knew grants would be needed to move on. The state money will determine

to report him missing.”

Dunn explained that standard practice for a divorce in absentia is for public notice to be posted in the newspaper, soliciting a response from the absent spouse.

“Again, as a civil procedure, we didn’t deal with it,” Dunn said. “As we looked into it, knowing what we know now, we were like, ‘Holy crap, really? Why weren’t they thinking about this possibility?’ But that’s just us doing Monday morning quarterbacking. It’s not an uncommon procedure for divorces in which one spouse simply isn’t there.”

Even after investigators received a tip-off about the murder late last year, Dunn noted that they needed to check out the story, to make sure their informant wasn’t just angling

chemicals in the soils and the method of cleanup. The money from the feds will help pay for the actual cleanup. “We need more money.

This will just get us started,” Nehring said.

He said how much the cleanup will cost will be determined by what goes there. Some development needs would have to have more cleanup than others.

Nehring said the city spent about $200,000 in federal money to clean up the area just to the East a couple years ago, but that was “minor” compared with Geddes Marina, said Gloria Hirashima, Community Development director.

Hirashima said no matter what goes there drinking

for a deal by making up a tale.

However, as investigators tried to find Wright, not only did they confirm that his driver’s license in Washington state had expired, but that he’d never applied for another, nor had he filed insurance claims anywhere in America.

“We ran his Social Security number nationwide, and it indicated that he never left his Arlington address,” Dunn said. “We looked at Boeing, which terminated him the same year he stopped showing up for work, and contacted their investigators, who heard the same story from his wife.

“We even checked passport records to see if he’d traveled overseas, but nothing turned up,” he added. “His financial trail ended

A key to the success of the area will be finding a use that provides “constant activity.”

Hirashima said that is lacking at the boat launch, and that is why homeless have inhabited that area. She said if Geddes Marina becomes like the skate park it will be successful.

“There used to be a bad crowd there, but the families reclaimed that park,” she said. “We need active usage at a daily rate.”

that year.”

Further suspicions were raised by Donohue’s claims that Wright had left her all of his property, including his classic car collection.

“Everyone who knew him agreed that he never would have left his car collection behind,” Dunn said.

“He grew up poor, so even if he was hooking up with a rich woman, as his wife claimed, the consensus was that he wouldn’t have walked away from what he’d worked so hard to build.”

Doe’z Onda Go’s serves frybread Oreos, burgers

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

TULALIP — Deep-fried tacos to Oreo cookies are just some of the frybread foods Doe’z Onda Go’s stand specializes in.

Doe’z puts a special touch in its bread, which differentiates it from other frybread, co-owner Jade Walker said.

“The love that people put in the bread is important,” she said. “You can’t make bread with a bad mood because it will then turn out ugly.”

Doe’z newly opened at 2624 Marine Drive in Tulalip, and has received positive feedback so far.

The fourth-generation frybread cook said, “People enjoy the food and always come back to try different things.”

She already has loyal customers that return from great distances to try more frybread.

“There’s a whole family that travels from Bellingham

67th Ave. reopens 2 weeks early

just to try our menu,” she said. “It’s awesome that our family can come together and build this as one.”

Doe’z recipe originated in southern Oregon with Jade’s great-grandmother. Walker has Native American ancestry in the Klamath Modoc tribe in Chiloquin, Ore. Before the stand’s permanent location, the stand traveled from Vancouver, Wash., to Portland, Ore. Now with Doe’z at its permanent establishment, Walker feels that the oncetraveling eatery can develop more menu options. She hopes to incorporate deepfried bananas and other deep fried treats.

She plans on expanding her business by opening various stands throughout the Northwest.

Making folks happy is what Walker enjoys the most about her job.

“I like feeding people and seeing the expressions on their faces,” Walker said.

MARYSVILLE — The 67th Avenue and 132nd Street improvement project is finished, and 67th Avenue NE has reopened to through traffic.

So easy to vote but we still don’t

Roughly 400,000 residents of Snohomish County are registered to vote in the primary election now under way.

Most won’t.

Ballots went out a week ago and only about 16,000, or about 4 percent had been returned as of Wednesday. While that’s a long way from the 38 percent turnout averaged by the county in recent mid-term elections, officials say they are on the course to getting there.

To those of you with an unmarked and unreturned ballot, what are you going to do with it?

Will you vote or won’t you and why?

I’ve heard from some eligible voters intending to sit this one out and return for the general election in November “when it matters.”

One reason I understand is that ballots often include races with unopposed incumbents or only two candidates, both of whom will advance regardless of their performance due to the top-two format. What’s the point, they say.

And, with a couple of exceptions, contests featuring multiple candidates aren’t stirring the passions of voters because many of those running aren’t in it to

win it. They’ll tell you they plunked down the money to get on the ballot in order to gain a platform for a cause.

Jerry Cornfield If Snohomish County – and Washington as a whole – breaks the 30 percent turnout bar its scaled in the past it will be an anomaly of sorts, as a new study this year found unusual levels of electoral disinterest in many parts of the country.

The analysis released Wednesday by the head of the Center for the Study of the American Electorate found in the 25 states that have held statewide primaries for both political parties prior to July 1, voter participation is down by nearly one-fifth, compared to the 2010 primary.

Fifteen of those states set new lows for turnout, according to the study. Nevada and Iowa didn’t break 10 percent and only four states – Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana and Nebraska – finished above the 20 percent level, according to the study.

tor and report’s author, concluded that making voting convenient for voters just isn’t stimulating turnout as envisioned. Four states with election day registration Colorado, Idaho, Iowa and Maine – all had lower turnout in 2014 as compared to 2010, the report says.

Voting by mail doesn’t do the trick either; Oregon and California use it and each recorded the lowest turnouts ever for a midterm primary, the report

found.

Gans cited a litany of factors contributing to why eligible voters don’t vote.

Among them are attack adfueled campaigns “that give the citizen a perceived choice between bad and awful”; a lack of voters’ faith in government; the ideological bent of the two major parties; inadequate civic education; and the impact of modern technology which has “made grazing the Internet a substitute for reading the news” for many

voting-age adults.

“Many decades ago citizens turned out to vote out of a sense of civic duty and because of an allegiance to one or other major party,” Gans wrote. “That motivation has largely been lost.”

Whether that will turn out to be the case will be known when balloting ends Aug. 5.

Soccer truly a sport of the world

Each morning we checked the sports page for TV coverage of the day’s World Cup contests. Then we moved to the TV room to program up to four games, which was way too much TV time for one day. We cut it down to size by superfast forwarding until the little box in the upper-left corner of the screen showed a score change, then hit the reverse to catch the play leading up to the goal. We stayed glued throughout when the U.S. played a cliff-hanger, or for promising match-ups like Uruguay vs. England.

Little Uruguay, population 3.4 million, fought tooth and claw to defeat England, population 62 million, though they ought to dial back the “tooth” a bit. Bosnia Herzegovina, with 3.7 million, defeated Iran’s 75 million. Ghana, 24 million, tied the German powerhouse of 81 million.

And little Portugal (10 million) tied the United States (310 million). Tiny Costa Rica, with the population of Alabama, proved to be the surprise giant-killer in tying England and beating the Italians, both traditional winners.

Baseball’s Big Event, the World’s Series, doesn’t come close to the global draw of soccer’s World Cup. Soccer is the great equalizer where Goliaths are outnumbered

by Davids. Teams from micro-nations with populations less than that of the average U.S. state came up with team chemistries that ripped the defenses of Europe’s powerhouses. Soccer’s global world championship deserves the name, World Cup.

While baseball’s World Series appeals to the few countries that know the game, the whole world knows soccer, or futbol.

It’s a healthy game that develops wiry athletes with stamina to endure Robert Graef 90 minutes of running as opposed to hard-hat football’s play-by-play action. That’s not to say I didn’t appreciate the Seahawks’ championship season—it’s just so much easier to get a pick-up soccer game going.

Soccer is here to stay. Aside from waiting forever for a score, the game offers advantages, like playing through middle age. As a lackluster player in Snohomish County’s bottom skill-division, I played until, at age 52, my back couldn’t take running on hard fields. My two daughters, ages 51 and 47, still play in King County.

Soccer has been such a part of our family that once, when visiting a remote archeological site in Yucatan, I goofed up and locked the keys in the car. What to do?

The grandkids found an empty plastic jug to kick and had a game while two of the adults set out to find help. All grandkids played club soccer and three of six played varsity in high school, as their parents did.

Watching Nigeria battle for a win, a tie, and a defeat took me back to our years there when Dylan Hendrickson, son of a friend, won a place on the Nigerian National team. One white kid in a sea of

black. The soccer pitch at the school where I worked once grew so tall during the rainy season that I hired a city tractor-mower to cut it, not knowing that Nigerians handle the problem by igniting wildfires that sweep through towns to take care of tall grass and snakes at the same time. My solution left the field studded with sharp stubble that bloodied the students’ bare feet in another example of western intervention gone awry.

Soccer balls make super gifts when visiting African villages. We later found that every school along the Amazon’s tributaries is built around a soccer field, each no more than an hour and a half walk from then next, enabling competition to entertain villagers.

So many local kids sign up that the 41 soccer complexes and single fields can’t handle practice and game schedules for the league’s more than 7,000 kids in the fall. Extra acreage at Bethlehem Lutheran Church is being readied to host games but more additions are needed.

The game is easy on parents’ budgets.

Shorts, a T-shirt and soccer shoes are all that’s needed. No cancelled games on account of rain. Kids love playing in mud.

I recall having to hose my son off in the back yard before letting him inside. It’s a great game that ought to be drawing more fans to local high school matches.

Primary election has a few contested races

Two Republicans and two Democrats are vying in Legislative District 10, Position 2, for your votes in the Primary Election, with the top two going to the November general election, no matter which party they represent.

That is the only race in the primary that Marysville and Arlington voters have four candidates from which to choose.

District 10, Pos. 2

Dave Hayes-R is the incumbent, elected first in 2012. His statement in the Voters’ Pamphlet in part says: “Dave Hayes is making a difference – for education, public safety, transportation improvements and job creation. He shepherded a bipartisan effort creating thousands of jobs. He stopped bipartisan gridlock to pass vital public safety legislation.”

The other GOP hopeful, Brien Lillquest, is the only other candidate to have been elected – to the North Whidbey Parks and Recreation. His statement says: “We need to identify people in government and be able to hold them accountable for areas under their responsibility…

Taxpayers deserve to get fair values for their taxes, rather than pay for those who have

Congress District 2

Rick Larsen, a Democrat, is the incumbent. He says, “Growing up in Arlington I learned the values of community, service and commitment. These same values guide my work today. That’s why I’m fighting to raise the national minimum wage, combat income inequality, create jobs in our community, and fix our broken immigration system.”

B.J. Guillot, the Republican, says, “Too many of our jobs from Snohomish County have been lost or moved out of state… I will fight hard to bring jobs and businesses into our communities, starting by working together to reduce the burden of government regulations to make our district more desireable.”

Mike Lapointe, an Independent, says, “Government policy should benefit the majority, not just a few. Our taxes should pay the country’s bills while promoting a healty middle class and discouraging obscene wealth.”

MARYSVILLE — Walgreens opened its Marysville branch at 404 State Ave. with fanfare and charitable contributions to the community July 18.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring touted the store’s opening as contributing to the city’s plans for downtown revitalization.

“They’ve already improved this street corner,” Nehring said. “I’m really excited by what the future will bring.”

“The Mayor has already pleaded with me to add a yogurt shop, so I have my marching orders,” Walgreens District Manager Bruce Philip laughed. “Our managers have put together a fabulous group of store employees, who are talented and committed and enjoy taking care of their customers.”

John Lovick-D, is the incumbent. He says, “As your executive I have focused my efforts on building a bright future for this country; investing in safe schools for our children, a reliable transportation infrastructure that will support growth and creating the best economic environ-

Philip deemed his donations of $250 each, to the Marysville Historical Society and the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club, as evidence of Walgreens long-term commitment to its new community.

“We intend to maintain and even grow these contributions over time,” Philip said.

“Our staff lives in this community, so we care what happens here.”

State Sen. John McCoy and Chuck Thacker, unit director of the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club, accepted Walgreens’ oversized check to their club, which McCoy had helped institute 18 years ago.

“It was only the seventh Boys & Girls Club on a Native American reservation,” Thacker said.

“Our kids are our future leaders, so we need to take care of them,” McCoy said.

PUD 1

A non-partisan race, Dave Aldrich has been on the board since 2003, Matt Hartman, a Granite Falls council member, wants to push for more renewable energy sources; and Bruce King says that since 98 percent of the PUD’s power is sustainable it needs to quit spending hundreds of millions of dollars on speculative projects.

For more information on all of the candidates, see your Voters’ Pamphlet.

lost their concept of public service and are just around to collect a paycheck.”

Nick Petrish-D did run for Skagit County commissioner and was an Obama national delegate. His statement says: “Nick will champion putting Washingtonians back to work by facilitating the creation of well-paying and necessary jobs repairing infrastructure, expanding public transportation to rural areas, building high speed/light rail, installing fiber optic/smart grid.”

The other Democrat, David Sponheim, says he has no experience in politics but he wants honesty in government and for it to be fiscally responsible. He is a radio news director who cares about the homeless; he wants to solve social issues with creative solutions, not more taxes. His statement says: “I am a strong supporter of legalization and will help integrate the Recreational Use Law into practice in Washington.

Our state budget crisis will be greatly helped by the projected marijuana tax revenue of $400 million a year.”

Three other races have three candidates each: Congressional District 2; county executive and PUD 1. The rest have two or less so they automatically advance to the general election.

ARLINGTON — The city received a plaque from the state Transportation Improvement Board to recognize the success of the 67th Avenue final phase project.

“The state TIB has a dashboard for measuring the quality of transportation improvement projects,” city Public Works Director Jim Kelly said at the July 21 City Council meeting. “We received this award for the leadership, management and transparency of our project.”

Although Kelly presented the plaque to Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert, she asserted that it belonged to the public works director and staff.

“The results of your work are beautiful and speak for themselves,” Tolbert told Kelly.

“Nobody pays this many compliments to our wastewater treatment plant,” Kelly joked.

The city had worked for more than a decade to improve safety and mobility for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians on 67th Avenue NE, prior to the final phase of construction, which ran from 2013-14.

The enhancements to the one-mile stretch of arterial roadway between Lebanon and 204th streets included: new sidewalks, lighting and gateway features leading to the business district, an upgraded railroad crossing at Lebanon Street, and a new roadway with a center-turn lane and traffic signal at 211th Place NE. The project also yielded the completion of Centennial Trail within city limits, and improvements to the wetlands and stormwater treatments, among them new fish-passable culverts.

The city celebrated the official opening of the new 67th Avenue NE on June 7.

MARYSVILLE – How would you like to know your cell phone had been found even before you realized it was lost or stolen?

The Marysville Police Department offers a link on its website to a program called TrackMole. Residents can register the serial numbers to items they own on that site. If the item is then lost or stolen it can be traced back to the owner.

Police and other city departments, schools and businesses are showing interest in TrackMole.

Currently, about 95 percent of items lost or stolen are never returned to their owners.

“I’d like to turn that a r o u n d ,” said Shawn T i e r n e y, the Renton police officer who invented TrackMole, which uses the same security system as Netflix and other companies.

Tierney knows the first question people will ask is how secure is the site?

He said he would never say it would be impossible, but it is unlikely.

“Drugs and property go together like crazy,” he said.

“Drug addicts have little skill. It’s a crime of opportunity.”

Tierney said robbers look for areas that are unlit, and they try to sneak in and take things. They are not on computers trying to hack.

And hackers, they are going after the big bucks, like Target, etc.

“The people who are good at hacking go after financial institutions,” Tierney said.

Even so, there are security measures. When people sign up, they don’t have to put in their address or phone number. A name and email are all that is required, along with a secure password. So if the system was hacked, robbers wouldn’t know where to find the property.

Don’t trust police?

Tierney thought of that, too.

The pilots of the Black Jack Squadron fly a Missing Man formation over the Arlington Municipal Airport to honor the passing of retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Wesley Schierman.

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Schierman’s widow, Faye, share a moment at the dedication of memorial at the airport.

Arlington airfield dedicated to Schierman

ARLINGTON — The Black Jack Squadron’s Missing Man formation that flew over the Arlington Municipal Airport July 21 was itself missing one of its most important men.

The pilots were paying tribute to retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Wesley Schierman, one of three founders of the squadron in

1990, who died Jan. 4.

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert was joined by Schierman’s widow, Faye, in cutting the ribbon to the sign dedicating the airport’s historical airfield to Schierman.

“Leadership, is action, not words,” Tolbert said.

Schierman’s long career in aviation included stints not only in the Air Force and Washington Air National Guard, but also as a commercial pilot for Northwest Airlines.

He was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam from Aug. 28, 1965, to Feb. 12, 1973, before retiring from active duty in 1974. Likewise, by the time he retired from Northwest as a Boeing 747

captain in 1995, he’d logged more than 15,000 flight hours.

‘Concern in the Garden’ raises funds for Usher syndrome “I’ve had a lot of emotions about this, but I choose not to dwell on it. It took a lot of counseling and a lot of positive people to get me to this point, but what other choices do I have?”

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Winding Path Gardens in Arlington will host a “Concert in the Garden” fundraiser on Friday, Aug. 1.

It’s for an ailment that many people have never heard of, but whose impact hits close to home for siblings Ryan Thomason, 32, and Jodi Carter, 35, both of whom found out that they have Usher syndrome five years ago.

Usher syndrome is a relatively rare genetic disorder that causes progressive deafness and blindness in those born with it, and Jodi’s husband, Jeremy Carter, started “Vision for a Cure,” a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and funds to try and cure the leading cause of deaf-blindness in the United States and Canada.

Although both Ryan and Jodi have worn hearing aids since early childhood, it’s only been since their adult diagnoses that their vision loss has grown severe enough that they can no longer

Siblings Jodi Carter and Ryan Thomason were both diagnosed with Usher syndrome five years ago. drive.

While Ryan is still able to order parts for his company, Jodi switched her sales job for a stint

as an office manager at Columbia Distributing.

“Her company is absolutely amazing,” Jeremy Carter said.

“They’re our number-one financial sponsor, and when I take her to work, I know that everyone there cares about her.”

Neither Jeremy nor Jodi or Ryan are inclined to think too much about what the future holds, but in the meantime are looking forward to meeting with old friends and new.

“To have a local legend like Pat Cashman emcee our benefit it great,” Jeremy said. “He actually wanted to do it for free.”

Court says folks need to go to jury duty MARYSVILLE — The city is having issues with people not responding to jury duty.

Court officials say a summons is not a piece of mail you want to ignore.

Each month, the Marysville Municipal Court summons 60 residents whose addresses are within either the 98270 or 98271 zip code.

The names are selected

at random from voter registration, driver’s license and Washington state Identicard records. The jury term in the municipal court is two days; however, most trials only last one. Of the 60 summons mailed, only about 40 percent of them are responded to by citizens.

The jury questionnaire sent with your summons will

be used to determine if you are eligible for jury service.

To be eligible for jury service, you must be at least 18 years old.

Cashman is a veteran radio and television personality whose onscreen stints have included his time on “Almost Live” and “The (206).”

“I’ve had a lot of emotions about this, but I choose not to dwell on it,” Jodi said. “It took a lot of counseling and a lot of positive people to get me to this point, but what other choices do I have?”

“I’ve met people with Usher syndrome who do tactile signing, and even though you don’t want to think that could be you, it’s a possibility,” Ryan said. “I’ve done a lot of soul-searching over it, but I just have to take it one day at a time.”

Tickets for the barbecue and drinks are $60, or $48 with the promo code HERALD. The auction kicks off at 6 p.m., with live music from Br’er Rabbit and Arlington’s singing cowboy, Jesse Taylor.

Dad, son race cars together

July 26, 2014

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Teenagers play all kinds of sports in high school. Some play baseball, football or soccer. Others go off the beaten path in more individual sports.

Cody Day, 14, is one of those kids. He competes in car racing — “contact” car racing.

The fourth generation racer knew he wanted to race since day one, watching his dad and grandpa race as far back as he could remember.

“I was racing since I was seven,” he said. “But I was watching my dad race since I was a baby.”

Cody began racing in the quarter-midget category driving a gocart. It became his favorite sport, even skipping peewee football to compete.

Whether it was playing racing games on his Playstation, or being taught racing tactics with hot wheels from his dad, racing has become one with Cody. It’s the adrenaline and thrill that entices him to race.

“He’s a crazy kid; he’s definitely cursed with racing,” said his father, Sam Day. “It’s in his blood.”

The father and son share a competitive bond, it’s part of why Cody wants to race — to beat his dad.

“It will be no holds barred,” Day said.

Cody Day has racing in his blood, as his dad, Sam, has raced at Monroe Speedway in the past.

Day has raced contact since 1995 to 2006 and Cody’s grandpa, Doug, also had his fair share of racing.

Though racing runs in the family, it was Cody’s decision to carry

on the tradition.

Cody plans to race next spring at the Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, where he could be competing with over 20 racers and racing up to 20 laps.

Eagle claims world crown

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — For Arlington wrestler Jeremy Nygard, it’s the competition that keeps him wrestling all year round.

After placing third in state as a sophomore for Arlington High School back in February, Jeremy went on to compete in other tournaments later in the year.

“It’s the drive I get,” Nygard said. “I’m never satisfied with my wins, and I’m always hungry for more.”

Wrestling in tournaments in the offseason allows Nygard to stay in shape. The styles used in the tournaments are different than the folk-style he uses in high school.

The folk-style, also known as the scholastic style used in middle and high school, allows holds, trips and takedowns below the waste. International styles like Greco-

Roman focus on upper body control and prohibits the use of legs in a match.

Freestyle is another international style that is similar to folk-style but is scored differently.

“It keeps me wrestling, and improves my offense,” Nygard said of the different styles.

He recently got home from Fargo, N.D. wrestling for nationals, where he won two matches and lost two.

Before that he competed in the World Sports Festival in Vienna, Austria, placing first in the 120-pound weight class.

Freestyle is Nygard’s favorite style he said, but he also used some techniques from folkstyle he normally uses in high school.

“He wrestled really well,” his coach, Jim Smoots, said. “He used an American style the other wrestlers weren’t used to.”

SEE WRESTLE, PAGE 16

He plans to wear the number 59, the same number as his grandpa.

Contact racing, as the name suggests, is a form of racing where durable cars use any means necessary to get ahead — what Day calls

“controlled chaos.”

Cars can “bump to pass” or spin out their opponents.

“We’ve redone the rules so people don’t lose their tempers,” Day said, but he insists the race will have plenty of contact.

Cody will wear protective gear but the dangers of the sport are present. Injuries that have occurred are concussions, missing teeth and broken arms.

“Truth be told, it’s not as dangerous as it appears,” Day said.

There are regulations as well, such as engine size and car strength. Cars can only reach peak speeds of 60-65 mile per hour.

Cody has modeled a 1977 Monte Carlo. The single-framed durable chases are ideal in contact racing. They are inexpensive and easy to modify, Day said.

“I feel ready for it,” Cody said.

“I’m excited.”

Stilly girls win state title “Their pitcher was just as good as ours.”

Swanson squared off against Woodinville’s pitcher across seven innings, throwing 50 mile-per-hour balls, Butchart said. Swanson had 11 strikeouts but Woodinville had 16.

The game was tied 1-1.

It was hard hitting Arlington catcher Ashtyn Falor who made a difference against Woodinville. “She almost hit the ball over the fence a couple of times,” Butchart said.

“The pitcher didn’t want to have her hit it.”

But she did, hitting a home run in the seventh inning. It was Stilly Valley’s lowestscoring game, but they managed to edge out Woodinville 2-1.

The girls then faced Cascade. Riley wasn’t feeling well going into the game.

“She looked terrible before the game. We said, ‘Oh man, Riley is our rock. We can’t lose her,’” Butchart said. “But then her dad told us, ‘There’s no way she is not going to finish what she started.’”

Riley and the rest of her team did just that, dominating Woodinville 11-2.

“We went over there thinking we had a chance,” Butchart said. “It was an unbelievable ride for these girls.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Stilly Valley little league softball team won the state title, 5-0 in the tournament.

The 9-10 year-old girls traveled to Asotin, after winning districts, where temperatures exceeded double-digits. But the heat didn’t put out the girls’ fire.

Stilly Valley pitcher Riley Swanson pitched in all the championship games and recorded 65 strikeouts. “She was extremely accurate,” Stilly Valley assistant coach Shane Butchart said. “When she pitched, it was on purpose to get someone to swing at it.”

After going 4-0 in districts, Stilly Valley carried its winning momentum to its first state game against Sammamish, topping them 15-2, July 12.

Stilly Valley powered through its next two games, defeating Gig Harbor 15-0 and Battleground 8-2. “We probably had the hardest-hitting team there,” Butchart said.

Arlington’s streak of romps came to a halt when they faced Woodinville July 17.

“That was our hardest game,” Butchart said.

Detective Sargent police Employee of Year

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman admitted that he was “a little late” in presenting Detective Mike Sargent with the title of Police Department Employee of the Year for 2013.

But Stedman wanted to make sure Sargent was recognized properly, before the Arlington City Council, which delayed the presentation until July 21.

“In the five weeks that I’ve served as the city’s public safety director, I’ve gotten to know these police officers better, and I’ve been absolutely impressed by all of them,” Stedman said.

“I see great things coming from them in the near future, especially since the City Council voted to give us the tools to deal with drugs and transients in our community.”

Stedman then turned to

Sargent specifically, giving him a ribbing for being a University of Oregon “Duck,” before recognizing the number of his family members who are also in law enforcement.

Sargent moved to Washington in 2004 and was sworn into the Arlington Police Department in 2008,

after graduating from the Snohomish County satellite police academy. He also obtained his associate’s degree in criminal justice from Skagit Valley College’s Parks and Law Enforcement Academy, where he made Phi Beta Kappa.

“I’ve been getting a lot of letters of interest.”

Jeremy Nygard, Arlington sophomore wrestler for top control.

Though still young in his career, Nygard has hopes to

become a recruit before attending the police academy. He brought two years of experience as a specialist in the Army, serving both as a scout and in homeland security, the latter of which included stints in the nation’s capitol and thenPresident Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.

“I always thought this career would satisfy my need for excitement.

Nothing is routine, but everything needs to be precise. It appeals to a Type A personality,” Sargent said with a laugh.

Sargent’s interest in law enforcement was sparked by taking part in community efforts such as graffiti cleanups and food drives, and by feeling the need to do more for his fellow lawabiding citizens, since he often saw the ways in which they needed help handling their problems.

Stedman credited Sargent with working as a taser

coordinator, dealing with registered sex offenders and even taking part in a recent murder investigation.

When he was first sworn in as an Arlington police officer, Sargent said, “You can never ask enough questions and you should never be satisfied with what you’re given. By that, I mean that you always have to be willing to work harder, and you can’t just accept what’s shown or told to you.”

Nearly six years later, Stedman described Sargent as an officer who always makes himself available to help others, and who follows through on his tasks.

“He’s proactive and he gets back in touch with the community about their concerns,” Stedman said.

“People like living in Arlington,” Sargent said.

“You see the pride of a small town, even as it’s grown bigger. I want to do my part to help it maintain that small town feel.”

continue wrestling in college at the NCCA Division 1 level and in the Olympics.

He’s been getting plenty of looks from colleges. “I’ve been getting a lot of letters of interest,” he said. “I really want to get a scholarship to a Division I school.”

He looks up to Olympic wrestlers like gold medalist Jordan Burroughs, a

champion in the 165-pound weight class. “He’s one of the biggest American names out there,” he said. “I really like to watch what he does.”

Nygard will return to wrestle for Arlington as a junior. His short term goals are to get at least two state championships for Arlington.

Silvana preps folks for new fair season

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SILVANA — The Silvana Fair marks its return July 26 to the tiny town between Stanwood and Arlington, whose Viking Hall and surrounding fairground fields come alive with the sounds of family farming fun on the last Saturday of every July.

The event marks the start of fair season in the Pacific Northwest.

“Like ‘Brigadoon’ it’s a one-day event that appears almost magically, only to disappear again the next day,” said Lynn Pattison, vice president of the Silvana Community Fair Board.

“Unlike Brigadoon, it’s come back every year since 1948, and it’s not magic that brings it, but the hard work of a small local group of dedicated volunteers who put the fair together every year.”

After a livestock check-in and veterinarian check from 6:30-8:30 a.m., the fair will officially open to the public at 9 a.m., with a flag-raising followed by kids’ games for children 16 years and younger.

Judging begins at 10 a.m.

Author Springfield to sing at Tulalip

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP – Rick Springfield is best-known for his song “Jessie’s Girl,” performed in the 1980s.

Others might know him as appearing in a soap opera, General Hospital.

But his career didn’t stop then. He is now a famed author, with his new book, “Magnificent Vibration,” appearing on the New York Times best-seller list.

Springfield will be appearing with another rocker, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, at the Tulalip Amphitheater July 31.

Springfield has been touring for 30 years, but never with Benatar.

“Although I first met Pat and Neil when Neil played on the original recording of Jessie’s Girl in 1980 it took 35 years before we got together to tour. It should be one for the books,” Springfield said.

His friendship with Giraldo is documented in his autobiography, “Late, Late at Night.”

Springfield’s first novel was released in May. In 2010 he released his autobiography, which Rolling Stone named one of the top 25 rock autobiographies of all time, and it was also a New York Times Best Seller. He also received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May. He’s also still acting. On March 30 he appeared on Lifetime’s “Drop Dead Diva.”

His new book features a hero who has hit a dead end in life but who receives an 800 connection to God via an inscription in a self-help book and who just may have a shot at saving the planet.

“The only good grades I ever got in school before I was kicked out were for creative writing,” Springfield said. “I thought that fiction might be in my future but then my career took a different path once the Beatles showed me what a blast being in a band could be.”

In his biography, Springfield writes about depression. “I’m not the shiny, happy guy people think I am. But good can come from hardship. Depression causes me to over-analyze events in my life, and that’s actually a bonus when it comes to songwriting,” Springfield said in promotional material.

‘Don’t Drip & Drive’ effort a campaign to clean up roads

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Visitors to the Arlington Street Fair who pulled into the city’s parking lot July 12 were asked if they wanted their cars checked for oil leaks, but Snohomish County motorists will have other chances throughout the summer to make sure they “Don’t Drip & Drive.�

Stephanie Leeper, sustainable community stewards coordinator with the Washington State University Extension Program, was among those setting out white tarps under cars that Saturday.

She explained that the “Don’t Drip & Drive� campaign is a multi-agency nonprofit effort involving the state Department of Ecology

Stephanie Leeper checks a car for oil leaks. Similar checks will take place July 27 and Aug. 2

and extending into several counties throughout Puget Sound. “If it looks like they might have a leak, we offer them incentives to get that checked out further,� said Leeper, who listed such incentives as a free inspection with one’s regular mechanic and a discount of 10 percent, or up to $50, to get the oil leak fixed. “Don’t Drip & Drive� aims to check approximately 3,600 cars for oil leaks this summer.

Its inspectors will be available at the Everett Aquasox game on Sunday, July 27, and at Twin Rivers Park in Arlington on Saturday, Aug. 2.

Karen S. Christensen (1948 – 2014)

K a r e n Christensen, 65, of Edmonds, passed away peacefully du r ing t he early morning hours of Saturday, June 28, 2014, in a house full of love and with her family by her side. Her love for life, her sense of humor, and her hopeful optimism inspired everyone around her. She lived each and every day to its fullest. From her birth on November 23, 1948 to her death, she nourished people around her with love, faith, and friendship.

Karen is survived by the loves of her life, her two daughters, Cheryl C h r i s t e n s e n -W i l l s e y (Brandon) of Sedro Woolley, and Lisa Butters (John) of Whidbey Island; her grandchildren and their families, Jason Butters, Susan Butters-Harrett (Christian), and Sara Butters. She is also survived by her mother, Shirley Joyce (Cady) Nelson of Arlington; and her beloved sisters and brother, Lynn Freeman (Jim) of Edmonds, Nancy

Coyne (Bill) of Arlington, John Nelson (DeeAnn) of Lompoc, CA, a nd Susa n D eVr i e s ( Ter r y) of Lake Oswego, OR; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and cousins, all of whom she loved and was so proud of; and her little orange cat, ‘Morris B’.

A celebration of Karen’s beautiful spirit will be held at one o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, August 9th at Edmonds United Methodist Church, 828 Casper Street, Edmonds, WA, with a reception following.

Donations in Karen’s honor can be made to Hospice Northwest (www. hospicenw.org), whose nurses and patient coordinators provided compassionate and loving care and support to her and her family, or to the Skagit Valley Humane Association (http://mjhssv1.blogspot. com/p/join.html), dedicated to finding loving homes for cats and dogs.

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

Garden grows love of reading ARLINGTON — The Arlington Community Garden hosted the second session of its Children’s Storybook Gardening Program July 12, and organizers encouraged families to check out the third session later this summer.

The Garden Club worked with the Friends of the Arlington Library to present “Jack and the Beanstalk” June 7, and on July 12, Claire Cundiff read “Peter Rabbit” to 25 children, as they sampled watermelon slices, green carrots and gooseberries.

Following the story, the kids got their own worm farms, in plastic containers that they took home, to learn how composting works.

“It was so popular that we actually ran out of worms,” Garden Club member Charlene O’Neal said.

This year’s final session is slated for Saturday, Aug. 16, from 10-11:30 a.m.,

where the story will be “The Little Red Hen.” “That story involved planting wheat to make bread, so our kids will get their own little planter pots of wheatgrass that they can decorate,” O’Neal said.

O’Neal promised that next year’s monthly program would start in March rather than June, allowing them to conduct six sessions.

“This year was a sampler, to see if the program was even viable here,” O’Neal said.

“We got a great response, though. People have really wanted to be part of this.”

O’Neal looks forward to fostering an even greater level of partnership between the Garden Club and the Friends of the Library.

“If we can get kids reading and gardening at the same time, that’s great,” O’Neal said.

“If we can make it fun for them, they’ll want to do it on their own.”

Hospital calls off merger for now

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics’ proposed affiliation with the PeaceHealth Medical Group has been called off, for the time being.

Cascade Valley and PeaceHealth have been seeking an affiliation since September of 2013, but the Cascade Valley Board asked PeaceHealth to release them from the talks July 17.

PeaceHealth had requested an extension to the decision-making timeline.

“Due to the budget impacts of implementing Epic in PeaceHealth’s hospitals and clinics, they have decided to put on hold the affiliation with

us at this time,” Board Chairman Tim Cavanagh said. “PeaceHealth may reengage with us in the future.

Fortunately, we started this process early enough that we are in financial health and able to evaluate our options. We are well positioned to take the time we need to make the best next decision for Cascade Valley.”

Clark Jones, CEO of Cascade Valley, elaborated that the hospital had sought an affiliation partner to secure its ability to provide future healthcare services for its community.

“In the face of rapid change in our industry, including the shift to electronic medical records, change in the insurance

“We really didn’t have a Plan B in place in case this fell through.”

Clark Jones, Hospital CEO industry and challenges in recruiting new physicians, the financial viability of a small, urban healthcare system is a real challenge,” Jones said.

Jones expects no operational changes to Cascade Valley at this time, but he did acknowledge the hospital’s need to refine its shortand long-term strategies in light of this change.

“The board and I haven’t even had a chance to sit down and talk about all of this yet, it’s still so new,” Jones said.

“After we take a breather, we’ll discuss what our

options are, since we didn’t really have a Plan B in place if this fell through.

“We have the time and the talent needed to continue seeking the right future in northern Snohomish County, so that we can continue providing excellent health care close to home,” he added.

Jones said such an affiliation is better for the hospital in the long run.

“In the meantime, what we can do is watch how the landscape shakes out, with an eye toward what’s in the best interests of the community,” Jones said.

“This also hasn’t stopped our conversations with PeaceHealth. We remain in contact with them, and if their internal issues improve, we certainly won’t be burning our bridges there.”

BRIEFS M-P principal leaves

MARYSVILLE – Andrew Frost, principal of Marysville Pilchuck High School since 2010, has accepted a position at Gig Harbor High School, where he will be the new assistant principal.

Frost said that this opportunity could not have come at a better time as he would like to be closer to his aging parents, who reside in Gig Harbor, and that he always wanted to return to that community. Frost went to Gig Harbor High School.

While he looks forward to getting to know the students and families there, he said he will miss the connections made with the MP students and their families in Marysville and Tulalip.

In an email to students and parents of MPHS, Frost said: “I will miss you and the families of MP. It has been rewarding to be your

Coffee with mayor

MARYSVILLE – The city invites community members to meet with Mayor Jon Nehring for a special summer evening coffee klatch with ice cream from 6:30-8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7.

This occasional informal chance to chat with the mayor will meet in Jennings Park Barn, 6915 Armar Road. Since Thursdays are summer concert night in the park, attendees will also be able to catch the latter half of beach funk band Headshine in the Lions Centennial Pavilion.

Please RSVP by 5 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 4, to executive assistant Leah Ingram at 360-363-8091 or e-mail lingram@marysvillewa.gov.

The mayor hosts coffee klatches to meet residents in an informal setting. Citizens are free to discuss issues about their communities and city. Ice cream, coffee and light refreshments will be provided.

“With the summer weather, we thought we would try something a little different to try to reach citizens who can’t get away from work or other commitments during late morning when we typically host the coffee klatches,” Nehring said.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

plants. They were amazed by the Evergreens,” Janet said.

“I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like trains. They’re so nostalgic.”

They live in Sherwood Forest, so they can hear the big trains on the real tracks of BNSF. One visitor heard a blast, and said, “You’ve got quite a sound system,” Janet said with a laugh.

Mike Elmore, an engineer and former Little League president, and his wife have joined the Puget Sound Garden Railway Society, now 200 strong. “We loved looking at what others have.

It was such an inspiration,” Janet said.

They have gone all around the country to find 1890s steam trains. But the Elmores are more into the landscaping. “We tore up the outside and put in a garden with a train in it,” Janet said.

The Elmores actually have two train systems. Another one was built on the side of the house with a Disney theme. “The grandkids play there while we work on the

MARYSVILLE – A train around a Christmas tree in the living room in 1999 sparked a love that has engulfed Mike and Janet Elmore’s back yard.

This exhibit, called the Drizzle and Downpour Railroad, will be open to the public Aug. 2 from noon to 6 p.m. as a fundraiser for the food bank. Visitors can donate money or food. “I always wanted to do that; it’s such a good cause,” Janet said.

For the past three years she said the garden railroad got “out of hand” because they were dealing with sick parents. But now they have pruned it back and “fell in love with it all over again.”

Until the past three years, the Elmores were used to showing off the garden railroad at 11800 47th Drive NE about once a year. They hosted national conventions in 2001 and 2011, bringing in about 2,000 people each time.

People were impressed.

“We can grow the prettiest

Mike and Janet Elmore will have an Open House Aug. 2 to show off their garden railroad to benefit the Marysville food bank. big one,” Janet said.

The railroad, part of which actually runs through a greenhouse attached to the main house, includes hundreds of feet of track, dozens of cars, and numerous engines in the 25 foot by 60 foot back

yard. Along with the plants, the Elmores, their kids and grandkids have built houses made from kits and painted them. There are numerous miniature people and other exhibits placed methodically around the tracks.

The entire project might not have happened without grandson Nathan Demmig, now of Little Rock, Ark. When he was 4, he said he wanted to play outside with the train. He was the first one to operate the outside track.
