ARLINGTON — Rigby Ishikawa is only 3 years old, but he already knows what Oct. 1 means, which was why he joined his siblings and their parents at Foster’s Produce, located at 5818 State Route 530 NE, where he managed to pick out a pumpkin that was almost as big around as he was, even if he had to try more than once to lift it.

“We always come back here for the pumpkins,” said Shintaro Ishikawa, Rigby’s dad. “The kids love carving jack-o’-lanterns and making a mess. It’s what the month is all about.”

Connie Foster, co-owner of Foster’s Produce, appreciates that their pumpkin patch and corn maze — that she and her husband, Brian, started in 1998 — have become an annual tradition SEE OCTOBER, PAGE 2

TULALIP — Candidates for the 44th Legislative District Representative and Snohomish County Executive races compared and contrasted their views during the Sept. 26 candidate forum conducted by the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

Snohomish County Executive and Democrat John Lovick faced off against Republican challenger and Sultan Mayor Carolyn Eslick, after Mill

Creek Council member and Republican Mark Harmsworth and Democrat Mike Wilson squared off over the 44th District Representative seat left open by exiting incumbent Mike Hope.

The four subjects addressed by the 44th District candidates covered education, transportation, business and environmental pollution, with each being allowed to offer rebuttals to their opponents’ proposed solutions.

Harmsworth held that transportation, jobs and education are integral

parts of the community.

He would seek funding for public transportation and improvements in highway traffic.

“I have a job in Bellevue, so my commute varies between thirty minutes and an hour and a half, depending on the color of the rain that day,” Harmsworth said.

“So we’re definitely looking to improve things on I-5 and Highway 2.”

Wilson, a government and politics teacher at Cascade High School, touted himself as a moderate SEE FORUM, PAGE 2

OCTOBER FROM PAGE 1 for so many local families.

“I enjoy seeing so many of the same people, year in and year out,” said Foster, who touted their one-nightonly flashlight maze from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, along with their slingshot contest and air-cannon for shooting small pumpkins as far as 200 yards. “I like that we can offer folks a non-scary, family-friendly festival.”

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

Foster’s Produce isn’t the only Arlington farm offering harvest-themed attractions throughout October.

Three years ago, thirdgeneration farmer Gary Biringer and his wife, Julie, replaced the former Biringer Farm pumpkin patch with the current Black Crow pumpkin patch and corn maze, located at 2431 SR 530 in Arlington.

Head east on SR 530, and you can also visit the Mystic Mountain Nursery’s pumpkin patch, located at 29909

Oso Loop Rd. Marysville residents needn’t worry about being left out of the seasonal festivities, since the SchaeferShipman Funeral Home at 804 State Ave. is staging its fifth annual harvest festival, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4.

Funeral director Kelcie Valder is promising attendees a chance to paint pumpkins, ride a hay wagon and greet the animals at a petting zoo, all for free.

“For more than a hundred

years, this community has supported us, and allowed us to serve their families,” Valder said. “This is just our way of giving back.”

The following weekend, the Bethlehem Lutheran Church at 7215 51st Ave. NE in Marysville will be hosting its own harvest festival, from 3-7 p.m. Oct. 11.

In addition to a variety of cuisine, this event is set to offer an entire lineup of hobby demonstrations, from woodcarving to painting.

That same Saturday, Oct. 11, will see the kickoff of the Marysville Rotary Club’s “Pumpkins for Literacy” patch, hosted by the Smokey Point Plant Farm at 15022 Twin Lakes Ave. in Marysville.

Proceeds from the Rotary pumpkin patch will go to Marysville and Lakewood school literacy programs.

Although “Pumpkins for Literacy” no longer buys students hardbound dictionaries, due to the availability of online dictionar-

ies, Marysville Rotarian Chris Nation touted their value to the students who received them in the past.

“For many of them, it was their first dictionary, and maybe even the first book that they owned,” Nation said. “We made sure they understood that these were items that belonged to them.

Poverty can affect people’s lives in a lot of ways, but giving these kids books that were their own was one way of helping them.”

and proposed bipartisan solutions accordingly.

“I’ve been able to put resources together and meet people in the middle through tough situations,” Wilson said. “When I go to Olympia, I’ll be that person in the middle.”

The Snohomish County Executive candidates were asked about their positions on Paine Field commercial air service, the Snohomish County Jail and Denney Juvenile Justice Center, the Tulalip Tribes sales tax and the county budget.

Eslick asserted her number-one priority was fiscal responsibility, but also voiced strong opinions about a “complete overhaul” in the criminal justice system, where she said management and leadership were missing, punishments for crimes were not strict enough.

“When I was burglarized and they picked up the man, it was his ninth conviction,” Eslick said. “What is wrong with this system is that we are not punishing the ones that need to be punished.”

Lovick, having worked 31 years in law enforcement, defended his role, stating that the executive powers have no say in changes to criminal justice, since the decisions are made on the legislative level.

“The executive at any county has nothing to do with the punishment of a crime,” he said. “But I feel just terrible for anyone whose home has been burglarized, or that anyone has been a victim of a crime.”

Cost of new medications could bankrupt health care which owns Sovaldi, to explain its pricing.

We should care because we’re paying the bill.

Since Obamacare took effect in October, an estimated 7.2 million people have enrolled in its expanded Medicaid program and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, swelling the ranks to 66 million people, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Taxpayers are responsible for subsidizing the medical care for those 66 million people.

Elected officials need to be careful here. The government can severely restrict access to highcost drugs for Medicaid patients, increase taxes to cover the cost, or try to impose price controls on drug companies.

The most politically expedient option might seem to be price controls. But drug companies spend billions to develop these miracle drugs. The Congressional Budget Office reported in 2006 that drug companies spent, on average, more than $800 million to develop an innovative new drug, including the cost of failed projects and the value of forgone alternative investments.

The question is, will they continue to take those risks, if the government imposes price controls?

street again. For less than a month’s rent in a retirement facility, the old place can be made safer.

My wife and I surprised the kids by selling our home. They own fond memories of the old place, but none of them wanted to take it over. We’d already determined that. They were pleased by our decision to move, and with the new place we’d chosen, so pleased that they showed up with a truck on moving day at 7:30 a.m., and had us totally moved 12 hours later. We called in some pizza and pulled a few corks to celebrate.

God willing, we’ll be here for some years. But we know that, as age takes its toll, it will be necessary to move once again, when it’s the right thing for us. The neat thing about adjusting to reality is that it is so liberating! We’re freed of stuff we no longer want to do, and have the time to do stuff that we want to do, like more hours of mixing it up with friends, volunteering and going places.

What really tickles me is that when the PNW weather opens up enough for mowing lawns, I don’t have to do it. I’m free to do anything I want. Of course we have to pay homeowners’ dues, to have our little patches of grass mowed and trimmed weekly, but when we balanced our condo’s monthly fees against what it took to maintain the old homestead, it was about a wash.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support Arlington Boys & Girls Club, Stilly Valley Youth Project On behalf of the Stillaguamish Tribe, I would like to extend our support to the Stilly Valley Youth Project, to expand and improve recreational and athletic facilities in Arlington, Oso and Darrington.

A key part of the Youth

Project is the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, which started in 1974 when the city’s population was 2,000.

Today, the club alone has over 2,000 young people, serving the entire Stilly Valley.

The current facility is too small to adequately serve this many youth and the Stilly Valley’s population growth.

staff needs the extra space to provide a wider variety of programs to draw the greatest number of kids each day.

The club does not have a teen center or computer lab, and desperately needs a second gym for their large and growing athletic program.

Each day, kids are doing homework in the gym, and teen attendance is impacted because they do not have their own space.

The Arlington Boys & Girls Club has become the hub of the community, where it seems the entire Stilly Valley goes on game day.

This was the vision when the current club opened in 1992.

Little did we know that

the population growth would create this need for expansion.

The Stillaguamish Tribe believes strongly in helping our community, and we understand the value of providing positive, healthy activity in a safe place for our community’s youth.

The youth have experienced recent devastation in their community, and providing these improved recreation and athletic facilities demonstrates our commitment to their wellbeing.

Let’s work together to make the Stilly Valley Youth Project, and the expansion of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, a reality.

Vote for Arlington Public Schools’ trasportation levy

12 years (the design lifespan of a school bus) cost 260 percent more to maintain.

3. New buses are better for the environment.

Technology improvements have dramatically reduced harmful emissions from diesel buses.

As the supervisor of transportation for Arlington Public Schools, I am proud of the job that our mechanics and drivers do with the equipment we currently have, keeping Arlington’s school children safe!

Considering that our buses travel an average of 630,000 miles each year, maintaining an aging fleet is challenging and parts are becoming more difficult to find.

Each year, the Washington State Patrol inspects all of our buses.

While we continue to have great inspections, the officers are telling us that our older buses need to be replaced.

In fact, we have the oldest fleet in Snohomish County.

Please support the children of our community by voting yes on Nov. 4.

Cheryl Power Arlington

Voters in the Arlington Public Schools area will see a school bus levy on the coming Nov. 4 ballot.

The district has not previously run a transportation levy. Funds from this levy will be used to replace our oldest school buses.

We currently have 49 buses in the district’s fleet, and 49 percent of our buses are 12 years or older.

The oldest bus we have is 28 years old.

There are three reasons why replacing old buses is important.

1. Student safety.

Newer buses are safer for students due to improved seat designs, additional emergency exits, stronger body construction, antilock brakes, better traction control and larger windshields, providing better visibility for the drivers.

2. Operating efficiency.

Older buses are much more expensive to maintain and are more likely to break down.

Our own records demonstrate that buses older than

Recycler refuses to pay garbage fees MARYSVILLE — Vonna Posey of Marysville started recycling 38 years ago, before it was the politically correct thing to do.

Now, her carbon footprint for two weeks is next to nothing, consisting of a biodegradable sack of garbage that weighs about a pound and some cans for recycling that don’t weigh much more than that.

As a result, she doesn’t think it’s fair that she has to pay for garbage service, which averages about $12 a month, or $144 a year. She’s even willing to spend 90 days in jail for the principle of it.

“I’m old. They can throw me in jail, and I’ll come out a better person because of it,” she said.

According to city law, that could happen, after first being fined $150, then $300 and $1,000. So

far, she’s only been sent to collections, with a threat of turning off her water.

This all started in January, when the city took over garbage service in recently annexed areas, making it mandatory. There are exceptions, such as if you live on two acres or have a really long driveway.

“How about if you don’t use the service?” she asked, adding that she doesn’t understand why an exemption can’t be made for that. “I don’t want to take things to the landfill.”

Posey has not paid the bill since it started coming. Her son takes what little garbage she has to the dump once a month, and neighbors allow her to put what little recycling she has into their bin.

“Instead of punishing me with a fine and imprisonment, they should want to reward

From the pullers who walk the cage-lined shelters, to the transport teams that drive them to Seattle to shelter partners for veterinarian care, they have been taking in some of these puppies to become

“Hero Dogs,” with adoption fees going back into a special fund for rescuing more pups.

Ward and Woche’s goal is to place dogs in permanent, loving homes. You can find out more by visiting their website at www.save-a-mutt.org.

Ward has a Yellow Lab, Dexter, and a German Shepherd, Panzer. Woche also has two dogs, Lulu and Walter, and she fosters dogs for Old Dog Haven, in addition to sheltering kittens when called on.

Their next sponsored event is “Dogtoberfest,” Saturday, Oct. 18, at The Irishman Pub.

Marysville’s Vonna Posey produces such a minimal amount of garbage and recycling that she doesn’t feel she should pay the city for its garbage service.

me for composting and reducing my carbon footprint,” she said. “There’s an old adage my parents taught me: Leave it better than I found it.”

Posey argues the city could even pay or credit her, because she knows it makes money off recycling and yard waste.

City leaders so far have basically ignored her.

“That’s just the way it is,” Posey said was their response. “They say if we make an exception for you, then everyone would want it.”

So she spoke at a recent City Council meeting, during the public comment period. Not much happened there either, other than to praise her recycling ability.

Posey said it comes naturally to her. She was raised in simpler times, when people lived off the land. She was raised on a farm in the Sunnyside

area.

“We were taught to take really good care of the land and animals,” she said, adding that she would pick up pop bottles to get the five-cent refunds.

“We weren’t throwaway people. We repaired things. Sometimes I think we’re getting too affluent in America now,” she said.

Posey said her act of civil disobedience is the ethical thing to do.

“It’s not about the money. I believe in this,” she said, adding that there’s a disconnect with the city, as she’s just trying to eke out a living.

Posey said city residents need to be on the lookout, because they will be next in the city’s plan.

“They’re coming for you,” Posey said. “The city needs to stop requiring all residents to pay garbage fees, especially if they don’t use the service.”

Save-A-Mutt founders honored as Volunteers of the Month draising dog wash that they have hosted each year in mid-August at the Strawberry Fields For Rover Off-Leash Dog Park. With help from family and friends, Scrub-AMutt has donated thousands of dollars in proceeds to a variety of dog-based charities, including Old Dog Haven.

The event draws thousands of pet owners and their dogs for a day at the spa, with a wash and scrub, nail-trimming, food, dozens of petrelated vendors, exhibitions, raffles and dog rescue organizations represented on site.

Ward, a graphic designer and entrepreneur with her own business, Pick of the Little Design, and Woche, a pet-sitter who owns and operates Wag-A-Muffins Pet Care Services, have become partners and volunteered their time and skills to local organizations such as the Everett Animal Shelter, the Animal

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring recognized SaveA-Mutt founders Jennifer Ward and Elizabeth Woche as Volunteers of the Month for their annual fundraising dog wash, supporting pet-based charities, that has grown from washing dogs to saving them.

“If you love dogs, these are two people in the community that you want to get to know,” Nehring said at a presentation during the Sept. 22 City Council meeting. “The two friends got involved in fundraising activities because they saw in a need in our community.”

Ward and Woche are codirectors of a nonprofit organization in Marysville, known for years by the name “ScrubA-Mutt,” but they recently changed the name to “Save-AMutt” to reflect their broader mission on behalf of dogs.

Seven years ago, the duo started Scrub-A-Mutt, a fun-

Rock & Gem Club showcases WISE women share strategies Rockhound Hall of Famer MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Rock & Gem Club will feature the Olive M. Colhour exhibit in its show, displaying some of her award-winning carvings, intarsia-mosaics and Faberge-style flowers.

Six display cases of stone floral and fantasy carvings, as well as Florentine mosaics created by the Rockhound Hall of Fame’s First Lapidary Laureate, will be featured at the club’s 40th annual show, Saturday, Oct. 11, and Sunday, Oct. 12, at Totem Middle School.

Colhour died in Seattle in 2000, at the age of 102. She had no formal art training, and was also self-taught in the lapidary arts. She learned from books, and trial and error. Her feeling was that, “If you aspire to do jewelry work, cut and polish stones, or study the techniques of carving, don’t stifle that creative desire for lack of knowledge, or because you live in the country. Buy some books and dig right in. How can you lose?”

It was in 1955 in Yakima that Colhour first entered and won Best of Show at a rock and gem show. She was 57. In 1988, she was inducted into the Rockhound Hall of Fame, as the First Lapidary Laureate.

TULALIP — WISE (Women Inspiring Successful Entrepreneurs) conducted its “Fearlessly Falling For ward Mastermind Group” at Bob’s Burgers & Brew in Tulalip Oct. 1.

WISE is a professional networking group that meets three times a month at various locations throughout the region.

Women who own businesses, or wish to start their own businesses, are welcome to join WISE’s meetings.

On Oct. 1, more than 20 women gathered to share their experiences, including the challenges they’ve faced in owning and starting their own businesses.

“Women have a specific need,” WISE cofounder Carin Weier said.

“Balancing life and work is the biggest challenge women have in business.”

Weier started the group with co-founder Judy Bradley in early 2013.

“We wanted to create an environment where women could come together to talk about their challenges,” Weier said. “We start our sessions with workshops,

and then we do Mastermind Groups.”

The Mastermind Groups are designed to give women the opportunity to celebrate business triumphs, and to receive or provide strategies used to tackle business challenges. The focused workshops are built to provide tools and tangible takeaways that inspire, motivate and teach successful business tactics.

“Though we have a membership of 27 women, anyone can drop in at any time,” Weier said. “That’s what makes us unique.”

If a woman requires assistance, such as acquiring a laptop, to start her own business, WISE even funds scholarships to assist those in need.

In addition to meeting on the first Wednesday of each month, at Bob’s Burgers & Brew in Tulalip, WISE will be conducting its next workshop, “The Art of Showcasing Your Business,” from 3-7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, at the Smokey Point Best Western Plus, located at 3721 172nd St. NE in Arlington.

PUD advises you set your water heater at a safe temperature The PUD reminds you to set your home water heater no higher than 120 degrees.

This temperature setting reduces the risk of accidental scalding, especially to children and the elderly.

It also saves energy and helps reduce your utility bill.

To set the temperature, turn the water heater off at the circuit breaker panel or fuse box, remove the face plates on the tank that cover each element, and use a screwdriver to turn the temperature control

dial to 120.

If you feel you can’t handle this task safely, contact an electrician.

Sometimes 120 degrees isn’t hot enough to activate detergents or dissolve greasy food in automatic dishwashers.

Manufacturers recommend using a liquid dishwashing detergent.

Many newer models also have a water heating option that boosts the temperature in the appliance.

With cooler weather, fall is a great time to check your furnace filter and

change it if needed.

During heating months, check the air filters on a monthly basis.

By replacing dirty filters, you’ll improve your air quality, as well as save energy.

Buying multi-packs of filters is a good way to be sure that you have one on hand when you need it.

For other energy-saving tips and information, visit the PUD website at www. snopud.com.

You may also call the Energy Hotline at 425783-1700.

Marysville considers regional fire authority

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The City Council is considering a regional fire authority.

A study prepared on the current fire district has reported that city leaders are concerned with labor relations, governance, finances and communications.

Other concerns include cost containment, strategic planning, asset ownership and transparency.

The 2014 budget is $16.2 million, compared with $14.5 million in revenues.

“Either the revenue has to go up, or the services reduced,” consultant Peter Moy said, at a recent council meeting.

The $1.6 million gap will be covered by the district’s fund balance, which was $14.7 million.

“The funding balance is quite high,” Moy said. “You need to figure out what you’re going to do with it.”

The study by the FCS Group

in Redmond said that a regional fire authority would be a modern evolution of consolidating fire and emergency medical services.

The study recommended that the city hold an election in early 2015, so that the new regional fire authority could be in effect by Jan. 1, 2016.

While other jurisdictions could join later, the study said it would be best to keep the planning process focused on the unique issues involved between the city of Marysville and Snohomish County Fire District 12, which already are working together.

“You’re already consolidated,” Moy said.

Among the advantages of a new authority: • A governing board that could be more representative of the population served. The current system is 50/50 on representation, even though 80 percent of the population served is within the city limits. “There’s not fair leadership now,” Moy said.

• Its own dedicated funding

source, that would not impact other city services. A new authority would have its own levy.

• A property tax levy limitation for cost containment. There is a lid on what the tax can be.

• It would allow residents to vote on property tax levies. That would give the people more control on spending.

• A more permanent organization, compared with the current agreement.

The Marysville Fire Department was formed through an agreement in 1992, between the city and District 12, who wanted to reduce duplication and expand services.

“You’ve had a sterling example of cooperation,” said consultant Bob Merritt, who worked on the state’s first RFA in Auburn, Algona and Pacific. There are now 13 such entities statewide.

“You could not have had the level of service you’ve had without each other.”

Fire District 20 joined years later.

The district protects 55 square miles, including the city, Seven Lakes, Quil Ceda Village, the east side of the Tulalip Reservation and unincorporated Snohomish County.

The district serves 77,000 people. About 80 percent of the population and 80 percent of the property valuation is within the city.

The district has 85 full-time and 45 part-time personnel.

There are five fire stations, four within the city.

The district responds to about 10,000 calls annually, about 85 percent of which are EMS-related.

The tax contributions from the city have grown from $5 million to $10 million over the past 10 years. Since 2007, when the city expanded, the cost for services from the general fund have gone from 15 percent to 20 percent.

The study looked at three alternatives for the city: Starting its own department, annexing into District 12 or creating the fire authority. It listed the pros and

cons of each one.

The main advantage of an authority is that only one levy would need to pass, instead of two, for funding.

If the city annexed into District 12, it would lose its representation, and if it started its own department, it would be responsible for everything.

If the council were to decide against an authority, the study made recommendations on how to improve the current agreement for fire and EMS services. Those include: • Define how assets would be divided, if the agreement were ever terminated.

• Establish financial policies.

• Change the funding formula, so each jurisdiction would pay its share of the cost.

• Consider having District 12 use its fund balance to pay for the Tulalip refunds that a court recently ruled on.

• Adopt a level of service standards, which are required by state law.

Cub Scouts serve pancake breakfasts Defensive Driving Course set for Oct. 15-16 MARYSVILLE — Cub Scout Pack 178 is putting together a pancake breakfast from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 11, to raise money for its activities.

Den mother Donna Lylte said the meal at the American Legion Post Hall, located at 119 Cedar Ave. in Marysville, also will include

eggs, sausage, coffee and juice.

The cost of the meal is by donation.

Pack 178 Cubmaster Darren Thompson added that the Cubs’ April 26 pancake fundraiser drew 100 attendees and yielded $767 in donated funds.

“With 26 Cubs in our

Pack, our finances have become a bit of an issue,” Thompson said. “We want to be able to do more, and provide more for them. We want to be able to pay for Pack membership, for those who might not be able to afford it, and also pay for things like awards and hiking trips for the Cubs.”

MARYSVILLE — Tiny tykes enjoyed the formality of tea parties coupled with teddy bears and tasty treats, hosted by the Attic Secrets Tea Room off of 76th Street in Marysville.

“It gives families an opportunity to get out,” event coordinator Andrea Kingsford said. “It’s tough to get kids out for a tea party.

They can get the full experience in a comfortable setting.”

Kingsford said the tea party sells out every year and this year was no different. More than 40 kids and parents in colorful dresses showed up for tea.

Upon entering the tea party, the attendees were directed to the front desk to pick up essentials to making a tea purse.

Each party was reserved a table.

Five-year-old Chloe Green was content in creating a purse as she awaited her tea.

Oso slide remembered as SR 530 reopens

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

OSO — When the stretch of State Route 530 that had been wiped out by the March 22 slide was reopened Sept.

27, the north side of the road was lined with 43 freshly planted cedar trees, one for each life lost in the disaster.

“This road opening is a lifeline to us,” said Darrington Mayor Dan Rankin, who nonetheless

asserted that, during the 38 days that the highway was blocked, “Our communities were never as close.”

Rankin commended everyone in the Arlington, Oso and Darrington communities for doing as much as they could.

“No matter how much effort we put in, it seemed like it was never enough,” Rankin said. “But we need to be proud of what we’ve

achieved here, and go forward feeling that pride.”

Rankin urged the communities not to forget the obstacles they’d overcome.

“Strangely enough, I’m going to miss stopping in traffic here,” Rankin said.

“The memory of what happened can’t fade, just because we can drive 55 miles per hour now.”

Oso Fire Chief Willy Harper cited the “ton of sup-

port” he and his fellow first responders received from county, state and federal agencies, as well as the local residents who joined in the search and recovery efforts, even though they knew the work would be heartbreaking.

“Folks just kept flooding in from everywhere,” Harper said. “We had families digging for their own family members.”

TULALIP — The United Way’s annual Spirit of Snohomish County breakfast Oct. 1 recognized not only the continued impact of the March 22 State Route 530 slide, but also the resilient ways in which the communities of Arlington, Oso and Darrington have responded to the disaster.

Mary Nam, of KOMO 4 News, called Toraya Miller and Laura Byers, of Coastal Community Bank in Darrington, up to the stage of the Tulalip Resort Casino’s Orca Ballroom, so

months, the United Way and Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation have received a combined total of $4.6 million in donations.

Of that money, almost 70 percent has already been distributed, and 65 percent either has gone or will go to families and individuals affected by the slide.

The remaining 35 percent has gone to community organizations and first responders who were called upon in the wake of the disaster, as well as programs to help people deal with its aftermath.

“United Way worked

closely with the mayors of Arlington and Darrington, and with the family resource centers in both communities, to make sure the money that was received went directly to help the people who needed it the most,” Nam said.

Of the money that was distributed by the North Counties Family Resource Center in Darrington, and the Arlington Family Resource Project, 83 percent went to families who were directly impacted by the slide — people who lost loved ones or homes, or experienced flooding.

that they could receive the Spirit of Snohomish County Community Partner Award on behalf of their bank.

Coastal Community Bank is the only bank in Darrington, and in the wake of the slide, the bank forgave the debts of families who lost property during the disaster.

“Coastal Community Bank is ready to stand behind our customers,” said Eric Sprink, the bank’s CEO. Nam noted that the bank forgave not just home loans, but car loans as well.

Arlington’s Olivia Larson displays fancy footwork to dribble past an Oak Harbor defender.

Arlington 7, Oak Harbor 2 After a contested first half, the Arlington Eagles soccer team put away Oak Harbor, 7-2, Sept. 29.

Arlington scorers included McKenzie Buell, Bre Morren and Olivia Larson, scoring two goals a piece, and Alison Enell, scoring one goal.

“We created lots of great opportunities up front, and pressured Oak Harbor the entire game,” Arlington head coach Nathan Davis said. “We still need to improve our defensive tactics a bit, but that will come with time.”

Arlington then went on to defeat Stanwood, 2-0, Oct. 1.

As of Oct. 1, Arlington’s record was 7-1-0, and 3-1-0 in the league.

Next week, Arlington hosts Meadowdale Tuesday, Oct. 7,

Lakewood 1, South Whidbey 0 It only takes one goal to win, and the Lakewood Cougars did just that, downing South Whidbey with a game-winning goal by Stephanie Brown.

“I was pleased with the win, and how the girls maintained their focus and kept fighting through the match,” Lakewood head coach Steve Brown said.

As of Oct. 1, Lakewood’s record was 4-4 overall, and 3-3 in the league. The Cougars hosted Granite Falls Thursday, Oct. 2, but the results were after deadline.

Next week, Lakewood hosts Archbishop Murphy Tuesday, Oct. 7, and is away against Kings, Oct. 9. All Lakewood soccer matches start at 6 p.m.

MG’s Brooke Wherley: In a league of her own

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

Brandon Adam/Staff Photo

Brooke Wherley prepares to dive during Marysville Getchell’s meet against Snohomish Sept. 30.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell senior diver Brooke Wherley is in a league of her own.

“She is the best diver we ever had,” her head coach, Jaclin Legore Hodgins, said. “And we have had some outstanding divers.”

In her last meet, Sept. 30, Brooke Wherley placed first in the dives, scoring a 303.55, breaking her previous school record in the process.

“I felt really good about that day,” she said.

But perhaps most remarkable is the fact that Wherley hasn’t dived for very long — she started last year.

“She can do it all,” Hodgins said.

Now diving for the second and last time for MG, Wherley wants

to win state.

“Our school hasn’t had a state champion yet,” Wherley said. “I want to keep improving and stay consistent.”

Coming off setting a new record for her school, Hodgins thinks that goal is achievable.

What makes Wherley stand out from the rest is her work ethic, emotional maturity and the expectations she sets for herself, Hodgins said.

Prior to diving, Wherley was a gymnast, until her body couldn’t take it anymore.

Wherley’s friend got her into diving as an alternative, and the skills required to dive carried over seamlessly, she said.

“I already knew how to fold and twist,” Wherley said. “But diving is so much easier on my body.”

She dove recreationally throughout 2013, before she saw herself on the diving board for her varsity dive team. Wherley placed second in state later that year.

But to say she is a complete natural is a misnomer. Diving at the level of her competition requires flexibility and coordination, skills she acquired in her six years as a gymnast.

Wherley wants to stick with diving after high school. She has a few schools picked out, but really wants to attend University of Arizona in Tucson, where she intends to study nursing.

Hodgins said that would be another practical goal.

“She will get a full ride and dive somewhere,” Hodgins said. “She’s highly educated and academically driven. She is a full package.”

Adults with disabilities show their abilities at Friendship Walk

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Walkers and strollers of all ages and ability levels, some in wheelchairs, arrived at Legion Park Sept. 27 to help support Village Community Services through its seventh annual Friendship Walk & Car Wash.

Although event organizers are still adding up the money raised, VCS board member Vicki Adams reported that this year saw a larger turnout, and estimated that it yielded more donations in turn.

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

The Voices of the Village band is so big, it even has room for Elvis.

“We were blessed with great weather that Saturday,” said Adams, who praised members of the Arlington High School football program for volunteering their time and efforts, not only to help set up the event, but also to serve as traffic flaggers for walkers as they crossed busy streets. “We tried something a little different this year, by adding an obstacle course to the end of the route.”

Adams likewise expressed her appreciation to the Cenex Co-op Supply on Olympic Avenue for again hosting the car wash, which drew as many as 25 vehicles this year.

“It also worked out great that we were able to stage the Friendship Walk right next to the Farmers’ Market this year,” Adams said. “We’d never done that before, and I hope it continues.”

While the event started as a fundraiser for VCS’s Village Music & Arts program, including its Voices of the Village band, Adams touted the value of simply providing a festive venue for adults with developmental disabilities to interact with

the community.

“We want to bridge that gap, so that other people won’t feel uncomfortable around us,” Adams said.

Program manager Michelle Dietz sees both the band and the event as complementary to VCS’s goal of supporting adults with disabilities in achieving their personal potential at home, at work and in the surrounding community.

“The goal of this event is to raise awareness about people who have disabilities in our community, and to celebrate their abilities,” Dietz said. “Our band is an example of their talent and joy for life.”

Jon Dalgarn first organized the band more than a decade years ago, and he remains the leader of its current roster of nearly two dozen members.

Voices of the Village includes vocal and instrumental positions for adults with a wide range of disabilities, who have played instruments as diverse as drums, keyboards, accordions, banjos, saxophones and even an Australian didgeridoo.

Dalgarn had already worked with adults with disabilities through

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Village Community Services’ seventh annual Friendship Walk Sept. 27 saw a larger turnout than previous years.

VCS’s residential and vocational assistance programs, but with Voices of the Village, he believes that he’s been able to address another area of their development.

“It really changes their lives,” Dalgarn said. “By being able to express themselves in this way, they learn a bit more about how to deal with the world, and the world learns

how to deal with them. This is the best gig in the world, because there is so much unmitigated joy in their performances. We hand microphones to people who, in many ways, didn’t have a voice, so that they can sing and hear other people clapping for them. It’s about way more than music. They have a real passion for it.”

Friends of the Arlington Library conduct book sale Oct. 14-15 This month, any book purchase will gain an entry into a special prize drawing.

“We’re here in the lobby of the library on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month, and we make about $200 from each lobby book sale,” said Eileen Ray, vice president of the Friends of the Arlington Library.

“We also get at least one new member every month from the book sales.”

All proceeds and dona-

tions will be used by the group to provide funding for the Arlington Library’s special programs, which are free to the public.

The Friends of the Arlington Library have furnished the library with a copy machine, a PC with a flash drive, and a number of recovered furniture items.

Donations of clean used books, along with CDs and DVDs, can be left at the front desk of the Arlington Library, in bags marked

“FAL.” The Friends of the Arlington Library is a nonprofit group of volunteers, who conduct monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:30 p.m. at the Arlington Library.

This month’s meeting is set for Oct. 8.

WWII MEMORIES

DON ANDERSON, TAIL GUNNER B-17

One thing usually overlooked about WWII is how very young some of us were. Like high school kids. I got in on the tail end of the war, and the really hard part was over. But there were still German fighter plannes, flak and casualties.

I was inducted at age 18 and still had 4½ months of high school to complete. Busloads of us were sent to Ft. Lewis, Wasshington, just south of Seattle.

We were taken to barracks that were to become our temporary new home. It looked like there were hundreds of them. All identical, with designations like E-6.

We were issued paper tags that were to be worn at all times with our name, serial number and anything else a lost child might need. We were very apprehensive and had a lot to learn about authority.

It seems that a good to turn kids into soldiers is to establish absolute authority. We soon came to understand fully that when a Sergeant said to do something, it was not an invitation to discuss the matter! The only decision we had was whether to choose an upper or lower bunk for our first night as soldiers.

At 5:30 the next morning the lights came on and a guy with a lot of stripes said it was time to get up.

One overweight kid sat up and loudly announced “I resign!” He was just kidding, of course.

We were steered to a long building to discover why they called it a “mess” hall. We received a

rectangular steel tray that had been pressed to create several compartments which were supposed to stop stuff from running all over. They didn’t work very well and after a while you expected green jello to be covered with chicken gray. We went down the chow line where guys put ladles of stuff on our trays.

When we sat down there was some conjecture as to whether we were supposed to eat this stuff or if somebody already had.

The next step was to line up in the supply room for our clothing issue, all to be stuffed in a barracks bag stenciled with our name and serial number eight digits we would remember the rest of our lives.

The work clothes were called fatigues. We realized why after pulling our first assignment of about 12 hours on KP (Kitchen Police) where we learned such skills as pearl diving, (feeling around the bottom of a sink for silverware), and learning to operate the China Clipper, a huge dishwasher that cleaned trays, silverware and cups. A very special duty on KP was “Pots and Pans,” where you handwashed what seemed like a thousand cooking utensils.

Not all 18 year olds are the same age. One guy played poker with permanent party Military Police and always lost. Every time his folks came to see him he would beg for more money. They finally got tired of this and refused to give him any more and he broke down and cried.

Planning a curriculum for high school students has to be an amazing challenge. How do you educate people on the basics for every kind of career from physics to farming? I have never needed to know the sqaure root of anything, but some people need to know the square root of anything, but some people need to know that. The three R’s can only cover what we need to know for evryday activites. Now, learning the social arts was about to begin. I had no idea that in two years I would be back in this very same spot with stories to last a lifetime.

From that point we were tested, went through basic training, were assigned to some group and started training for the real thing. Eventually we were judged to be fit for combat and went overseas.

I had 22 missions as a tail gunner on a B-17; The war finally ended and we were given furloughs.

My first surprise was when we boarded a troop train in Massachusetts bound for the northwest.

People learned who we were and gathered along the railroad tracks to wave flags and throw kisses to express their appreciation. We were surprised at this, but got a warm feeling for the gesture.

We arrived at Ft. Lewis and went back to the mess hall where I had stared. There was a new bunch of kids, but they had more to be worried about. The had to serve people just back from combat that were probably so used to killing people that if they

crossed us they would die right there! I pointed out to one kid that we were out of bread and in seconds he brought more so he wouldn’t make us angry.

Knowing we were going on furlough and there were girls waiting for our return, we got into the spirit of things: We had our class A uniforms pressed, wore our neon Sergeant stripes that could be seen for a mile, added the gold has marks attesting to overseas duty, the bright shoulder patch adn all kinds of ribbons. Girls didn’t know what they were for, but they looked impressive. The good conduct medal was for staying out of jail for a year, one bright ribbon was for being in the ETO (European Theater of Operations) plus the Air Medal with oak leaf clusters.

I got a two column photo story on the front page of the Arlington Times when the public relations people sent a mimeographed story saying the medal was awarded to Sgt. Anderson for courage, coolness and skill in the performance of duty. It helped that I had worked at the newspaper as a high school student and the editor kew me very well. Actually, everybody was awarded the Air Medal for every six missions.

First you got the medal and ribbon, then an oak leaf cluster for every six after that. Anyway, we put all this stuff on, and it was like decorating a Christmas tree. We looked pretty snazzy and tried to walk the walk and spit out of the side of our mouth.

I met Rita while on furlough and we became engaged on our third date. Some of the townspeople smiled and started counting the months on their fingers. But they had to wait four years before Doug was born.

I finally received my discharge and came home to Springfield, OR. We wanted to get married, but there was a little problem; I had to ask my mother, because at age 20, I was too young to buy a glass of beer or get married. This was an interesting anomaly - a decorated combat veteran had to ask his mother if he can get married.

So here we are, more than a half century later.

Old duffers with wheelchairs, walkers, and hearing aids. It feels really great on the fourth of July to watch the parades and flags and banners, hear the bands playing march music and hear the speeches.

We still shed a tear...

Thank you for remembering.

Thank you very much.

Don has written a wonderful book titled “Donald.”

This is not a book about WWII, but a rich variety of stories that Don has written about his life experiences. He tells of world travel, his wives, and his family. He speaks of his time growing up, WWII, and recallls his work in radio and public safety. He tells of his love of music and how he has played piano and sang to both entertain and educate.

Don is a great story teller, and I am certain you will enjoy reading his book!

“People have a great time with the humor in this book, but there is a serious side, too.

When editing the text, Dorrie would alternate between laughter and tears, reflecting my own experiences. I have laughed more than I have cried. But I have done both.”

Don will happily send you a signed paperback of his book PRICE: $24 (includes shipping)

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

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.

African Children’s Choir performs at Sunnyside Elementary

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

The 18-member African Children’s Choir performed traditional songs and dances from their culture for the students of Sunnyside Elementary Sept. 30.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — For the students of Sunnyside Elementary, it was a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with children from another culture, but

for the school’s music teacher, Brenda Ehrhardt, the Sept. 30 visit from the African Children’s Choir was the culmination of a lifelong goal.

Adult choir leader Ronald Ssekabira introduced the 10 girls and eight

boys who comprise the 41st choir since the group was started 30 years ago in Uganda.

The choir children, who ranged in age from 8 to 13, told the Sunnyside students what they wanted to be when each of them

formed related to hunting, fishing and folk tales, before he let his children teach some of the Sunnyside students how to play traditional handcrafted drums, and how to dance along with the choir.

“I’ve been teaching my kids about world music

for years, but I always felt bad that they couldn’t experience the real thing,” said Ehrhardt, who raised more than $1,000 from 57 donors in three weeks to bring the African choir to Sunnyside. “It was so worth it. It’s just a dream come true.”

grew up, with career aspirations ranging from doctors, nurses and midwives to ministers, teachers and police officers, with a few divers, soccer players, and even a would-be astronaut in the mix.

“The goal of this choir is for even the most vulnerable children to be able to attain an education,” Ssekabira said.

Ssekabira took the time to educate the Sunnyside students about Africa through the choir children’s lives, starting with the fact that Africa is not one country, but made up of more than 50 countries, with new nations still emerging.

After eight months of traveling across America, what the choir children said they missed most about home was the food, including cassava roots, jackfruit and fried grasshoppers, with the last item drawing decidedly mixed reactions from the Sunnyside students.

Ssekabira explained how the songs and dances that the choir children per-

Marysville Police launch internal investigation after jail escape

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Police Department has started an internal investigation in the wake of an inmate of the Marysville City Jail escaping custody for two days before anyone noticed his absence.

Marysville’s Rhyan Vasquez, 19, was booked into the city jail on misdemeanor warrants from the Marysville Municipal Court

Sept. 16, and was set to be transferred to the Snohomish County Jail, to be booked for investigation of first-degree robbery.

When Vasquez’s attorney visited the city jail Sept. 24, jail staff finally noticed Vasquez was missing.

Marysville Police Cmdr.

Wendy Wade reported that Vasquez had been transported, along with eight other city jail inmates, both to and from a

Bible study class in a visitation area Sept. 22.

Wade confirmed that Vasquez slipped out of the Marysville Public Safety Building, away from the rest of the group, during their return from the Bible study class.

“We didn’t notice him slipping out, and that’s huge,” Wade said.

“We’re conducting a complete review of police procedures to

find out what happened and how it happened,” she added.

“In twenty-five years, this has never happened at our jail, and we will make sure it never happens again.”

Although Vasquez is back in custody, with $50,000 for his escape added to his $200,000 bail for suspicion of robbery, the internal investigation at the city jail and police department has just begun.

Wade declined to speculate on how long the investigation could take.

“There’s a lot of moving pieces and witnesses to sort through, so we don’t want to rush things,” Wade said.

“We want to be thorough on this,” she added. “We take the security of our jail very seriously, and this was a serious breach of that security. We’re taking responsibility for that.”
