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
