If you’ve put off choosing a Halloween costume, the good news is that you still have time to shop for options in a variety of price ranges.

Gussie & Gertie’s Costume Rentals in Arlington boasts a deluxe selection of options, most of which cost about $50.

“We’ve outfitted a lot of flappers, saloon girls and even burlesque performers this year,” said Becky “Gussie” Walsh, who attributed these costumes’ appeal to a number of “murder mystery” and other themed parties, which have run from September through October. “Every time Halloween is on a weekend, the celebrations are a bit bigger, but we’ve been renting costumes for the past two months.”

Walsh and her sister, Laurie “Gertie” Faaberg, have run their business out of their home for a decade.

While it’s too late for them to create custom costumes for Halloween, since those pieces typically take a month, they’re often able to do same-day alterations on existing costumes.

In Marysville, the Goodwill and Value Village stores have set up Halloween costume departments, with store employees serving as costume consultants, for more frugal shoppers.

However, the managers of both stores touted the relatively cheap prices of even their non-costume clothes, which allow customers to mix new and used items to create their own outfits.

ARLINGTON — A new EMS levy rate, transportation improvements in response to the Oso slide and the appointment of a new School Resource Officer were all considered by the Arlington City Council Oct. 20.

The Arlington School District agreed to pay 100 percent of the new SRO’s pay and benefits, which council member Chris Raezer touted as evidence of the strong partnership between the city and school district.

“When the financial situation was different, the city was paying for the SRO, so it’s nice that the district can pick that up now,” Raezer said.

Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman reiterated that the new SRO will work on promoting drug awareness within the schools.

The council voted unanimously to approve agreements with the county and the school district, the former for transportation improvement funds for the Darrington and Arlington communities, and the latter to provide a three-year term for the new SRO.

Police cars sought in budget

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Ford vs.

Chevy? It’s been debated since Chevrolet opened for business in 1911.

For Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith, it’s Chevy.

“Chevys are faster,” he said at the city’s first biennial budget meeting Oct. 20.

The council will look at the 185-page document more Nov. 3 before having a public hearing Nov. 10.

Buying 17 Chevy and two Ford police cars over the next two years at a cost of $1.08 million is only one of the highlights of the document. The city also is looking at its own three-person legal staff for $221,000. That is about the same the city has been spending on outsourcing legal services.

Council Member Jeff Vaughan asked how that compares to legal staff in other cities. He was told it’s comparable to Shoreline.

Mayor Jon Nehring said

he’s glad the city changed to a two-year budgeting cycle.

“We can look further into the future,” he said. “It will pay off in the long run.”

He also said most of the $106 million budget is tied to certain areas so that only about $13 million is discretionary.

“There’s really little maneuvering room,” he said.

Because of the recession, the city has not purchased vehicles for years.

“This is a fleet catch-up budget,” Nehring said.

Top of mind for many at the meeting was the recent escape at the Marysville jail.

Chief Administrator and Community Development Director Gloria Hirashima explained that $150,000 is in the budget to do an indepth study on the jail, city court, gaming and a drugalcohol court.

“We tend to do things the way they always have been done,” she said. “We need to take a step back” and look

for efficiencies.

Hirashima said the jail was built 30 years ago when the city had a population of 7,000. It’s now 60,000.

“Some of these projects are going to cost,” she said. “They are bigger than I expected. I just want to prepare you. It was an eye opener for me.”

When pushed for a number, she said it was way beyond her expectations of $10 million. More likely it will be up to $30 million.

“We need to investigate all the options,” she said.

“It’s something we will have to grapple with for years.”

Council Member Jeff Seibert said, “When police make an arrest make sure they stay.”

Nehring said figuring out a way to pay for declining facilities over the next two to five years “can’t be ignored.”

The need for new police cars brought some entertaining discussion.

“We have one where the paint job looks like a Palomino,” Smith said. “We could use it and look like shabby Mayberry, but that’s not who we are.”

Her “Wizard of Oz” Cowardly Lion costume consisted of a brown sweater and matching pants, animal makeup, a cat-ears hairband and a handmade “Courage” badge, all for about $10.

Fellow employee Jacqueline Wharton added, “You can make a grandma costume out of one of our costume wigs, plus old pajamas, hair rollers and fuzzy slippers from the rest of the store.”

Kelly Turner, store manager of the Marysville Goodwill, has assembled packages of new and used items, such as a plain white shirt, faded jeans, fake blood and rotting corpse makeup.

That zombie outfit, inspired by The Walking Dead, costs $15.

Among the popular themes this year are Game of Thrones, Duck Dynasty, Elsa from Frozen for little girls, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for little boys, superheroes including Batman and Iron Man, and the standard assortment of zombies, pirates, vampires, witches, cops and gangsters.

“The actor who plays Hodor is going to be throwing a ‘Rave of Thrones’ in Seattle this December, so we have folks saying, ‘Oh, yeah, I want to be able to wear my costume for that, too,’” Wharton said.

Orrantia reported that

If you’re still undecided on a costume, all the costumers agreed that it helps to know what sort of events you’ll be attending, and to be flexible even if you have something in mind.

“Will they be outdoors or indoors? Will they be kid-friendly, or more adult horror? If you’re buying

for a whole bunch of kids, you might want to consider items that can be worn as regular clothes, when they’re not part of a costume,” Orrantia said.

While Walsh recommended checking out the Internet for ideas, she also warned shoppers not to expect something that will look exactly like an outfit they might see online.

“Don’t be so tied into one thing that you miss out on other good options,” Walsh said.

red tape,” Kelly said.

The specific transportation projects to be funded, and the timeline on which they’ll be carried out, will be recommended by the Stillaguamish Valley Economic Redevelopment Committee, whose members include Ellis and Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert.

The city sets the EMS levy rate each year to a maximum of 50 cents per $1,000

of assessed value, but no more than 1 percent of its highest collection rate.

The actual property tax levy for 2014 was $908,157, and if approved by the council, the new rate would increase the levy amount by $12,210.12 in 2015.

This would represent a 1.3 percent increase between 2014 and 2015. However, because 2014’s collection rate was lower than that of 2012, during which the actual levy was $911,000, it would still fall within that 1 percent limit.

Community & Economic Development Director Paul Ellis explained that the 2015 collection rate cannot be more than 1 percent higher than 2012, but the 2016 levy can be 1 percent higher than 2015.

The council is set to vote on this issue Monday, Nov. 17.

Congressional candidate B.J. Guillot, left, and Sheriff Ty Trenary talk about their campaigns.

Forum helps candidates as election day nears

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — When Snohomish County Executive John Lovick had to leave early from the Oct. 22 candidate forum at the Stillaguamish Senior Center, Bruce King became the unexpected beneficiary.

King’s fellow candidates peppered him with questions about why he chose to challenge incumbent Dave Aldrich for the non-partisan seat of county PUD commissioner.

“My opponent hasn’t shown up to any of these forums,” said King, an Arlington pig farmer who decided to run after his power went out more than 30 times in just a few months. “He hasn’t put up any signs, and he hasn’t raised any money to campaign. If you’re going to ask for a job, the biggest part is just showing up, and he hasn’t done that.”

King noted that the PUD’s annual budget of $780 million is only slightly less than the county budget of $800 million. He criticized the PUD for raising its rates six times in five years, at the same time he estimated it’s sitting on roughly $350 million.

Neither Aldrich nor U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., attended the forum, so Larsen’s opponent, Marysville resident B.J. Guillot, asked King how he would address power outages.

“I would look at all our outages and try to find common elements to them,” King said. “Are there tree problems? Do the lines need to be underground? It’s cheaper and safer to do preventive measures. More power

linemen die than police officers each year.

Keeping the power on saves King lives.”

When Smokey Point resident Frankie Savage asked whether she should be concerned with audibly crackling power lines, King described it as a common symptom of wet weather, including humidity, and added that 25 percent of energy is typically lost in transmission.

King then expressed his support for solar power, proposing that houses with electric cars could be used to boost the PUD’s temporary power storage capacity.

“Most of the time, your car is sitting in the garage, so during those hours, the cars’ batteries can be used to store additional power,” King said.

Jim Upton, the challenger for the county sheriff ’s seat, also didn’t attend, so Guillot also posed questions to incumbent Sheriff Ty Trenary. When Guillot expressed concerns about NSA surveillance, which is one of his reasons for running, Trenary agreed with him that such measures went too far.

“I believe in adhering to the Constitution,” Trenary said. “It’d be nice for law enforcement to have the information from that surveillance, but we need to obtain it lawfully.”

When Guillot inquired whether meth or heroin was a bigger problem within the county, Trenary reported that heroin is now available more cheaply.

“Meth was a big, scary problem for a while, espe-

cially when you heard about meth houses blowing up,” Trenary said. “We’ve legislated ourselves at least partly out of that problem, thanks to the same laws that make it so much harder to buy certain types of medication.”

By contrast, Trenary deemed excess prescription medications in people’s homes to be a far bigger problem now, since teenagers are able to get high off drugs that their parents have often forgotten that they still own. To that end, he said that unused medications that are turned over to the county are incinerated.

Savage’s observation that the sheriff ’s office is “losing a lot of lawsuits” prompted Trenary to reiterate that the county jail is being overtaxed by housing non-violent homeless, mentally ill and drug offenders.

“We’re removing those people from sight, but we’re not really solving the problem,” Trenary said. “They don’t come out of the jail any better, so it becomes a revolving door.”

Trenary laughed and expressed surprise when Carolyn Eslick, the mayor of Sultan who’s challenging Lovick for the county executive seat, agreed with the sheriff ’s emphasis on better mental health care options and private/public partnerships to address homelessness.

“We started the county’s first family support center in Sultan in 1992,” Eslick said.

“Two years ago, there was a meeting about establishing a psychiatric hospital here in Smokey Point. I spoke out in favor of it, but I was the only elected official in the room.

It’s coming, but it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what’s needed.”

Richard Linn Post of Arlington, Washington passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, Sunday, October 19, 2014 in Everett, Washington at the age of 90.

Dick was born to Gerald and Celia Post on January 24, 1924 in Everett, Washington.

Always an excellent student, he graduated valedictorian from Everett High School in 1942. Upon graduating, Washington Senator Henry M. Jackson awarded Dick an appointment to the US Naval Academy. Due to his poor eyesight, he was unable to pass the entrance physical so instead enrolled at Washington State University. While there, Dick attended a recruitment event where enlistments were being processed by a student from the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine. After memorizing the eye chart while awaiting his turn, Dick passed by removing his glasses and reciting from memory the correct letters, resulting in his being enlisted into the US Army. Arriving at Boot Camp he was again told he was not fit for service, to which he replied, “This paper says I’m in the United States Army. Find me a way to serve my country.”

The Army had him attend noncommissioned officer training at Fordham University in New York, after which he served the remainder of his time as an artillery instructor at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland.

Thus began his lifelong devotion to the field of Education. Dick graduated from the University of Washington in 1949 with a degree in Mathematics and received his first public teaching certificate from its School of Education in 1950. He spent his entire teaching career in Washington: first teaching Math and English in Wapato, next as Vice-Principal of Hopkins Junior High in Aberdeen, then as Principal of Marcus Whitman Junior High in Port Orchard, and finally as School District Superintendent in Arlington, from which he retired in 1985. From 1976 to 1994, he was also a Guest Lecturer and Adjunct Professor in the Woodring College of Education at Western Washington University, teaching night courses required for advancement into school administration. Dick always said, “I entered education to influence change and there is no better way than by sharing my lessons with those pursuing their certifications.”

Countless Washington education leaders are graduates of his courses and pass on his lessons through their roles across the state.

Of all the communities to which he had ties, none was stronger than to the community of Arlington. Living there from 1971 to 2014, Dick made his most significant contributions.

When he was hired by the Arlington School Board in 1971 the District was in bad shape.

In the two years prior, Arlington had failed to pass a much-needed school levy and the entire school board had resigned. For the new board, hiring Dick was the best decision they could have made. During his leadership the school system was transformed. He

3

oversaw the passing of 15 school levies and 5 bond issues. These funds were used for the additions of a library, gymnasium, and classrooms at the high school; the building of the Richard L. Post Middle School (so-named by the School Board after his retirement); and the hiring of teachers and other necessities for a great educational

environment.

In addition to his direct stewardship of the school district, he made significant contributions to the community at large.

He tirelessly volunteered his time shaping local, state and federal campaigns; was an active member of the Arlington Rotary(42 years); remained a Lifetime member of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce; donated his time and money raising funds for local charities; and helped write and review grants that resulted in additional educational resources and the building of affordable senior housing. Dick never said no to a worthy cause. Several years ago, he was asked by Rotary if they could rename their annual golf tournament the Richard L. Post Pre-Memorial Golf Tournament. With a laugh and a smile he said, “Yes.” In his final year, he remained active in the Arlington Rotary Club, selling tickets for the annual 4th of July Duck Dash and serving on the boards of the NW Educational Service District 189, the Stillaguamish Senior Citizens Center and the Arlington Education Foundation.

Dick received many honors throughout his career, including first President of the Washington Education Association Aberdeen Affiliate, Washington State School Superintendent of the Year, Adjunct Professor Recognition at Western Washington University, The Rotarian Paul P. Harris Fellowship Award (twice), Community Lifetime Achievement Award and the naming of the school built under his superintendence as the Richard L. Post Middle School.

While attending the University of Washington, Dick met and married Dorothy Delores Beers, from Fairmont, Illinois. They had three children and were married 52 years until her death in 2002. Dick is survived by his daughter Susan (Don) of Bellevue, WA, his two sons Richard (Beth) of Belfair, WA, and Timothy (Samantha) of Arlington, WA; 7 granddaughters – Brenna, Lindsay (Andy), Danielle (Sam), Allison, Natalie, Erica, and Madison; two great grandchildren – Hannah and Keith; one brother Gerald (Jan) of Auburn, WA; and many other loving relatives.

There will be a celebration of Dick’s life at the Richard L. Post Middle School, 1220 E. 5th St., Arlington, WA 98223 on November 6, 2014 beginning at 4PM. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the Arlington Education Foundation – 135 S. French Ave-Box A, Arlington WA 98223 – or the Arlington Cocoon House C/O Cocoon House Administration Offices – 2929 Pine Street, Everett, WA 98201.

You not voting gives me more power

I am not going to preach to try to guilt you into voting. I don’t care if you vote. I am glad you don’t. It gives me more power. I love that my vote counts for more than it should because you don’t vote. If you and some of your friends voted I could be outnumbered say 4-1 (Have you read my editorials?). You might like that.

Instead, my vote counts 1-0.

I have been voting since I was 18, that’s almost 40 years. I have always voted for the correct candidates and issues. So don’t blame me for the country’s woes.

Even though you don’t vote some others out there shouldn’t, and they do anyway.

Of course I’m being facetious, but I’m trying to make a point.

I am a true Independent, something many Powell Washingtonians say they are, but seldom back it up at the polls. I find myself usually voting 60 percent Democrat, 40 percent Republican, but sometimes it’s closer to 50-50. On issues I try to be fiscally conservative, but liberal when it comes to social problems.

Yes, that creates a conflict of interest between the two parties.

That is what I like. I don’t think either party is close to being right all the time. A middle ground often is the best compromise to get things done, instead of banging their heads against the wall trying to get the other party to go to the extreme.

The middle ground often is what is best for the country.

As a voter I get discouraged, so I know how you feel. You feel like your vote doesn’t count — and it doesn’t, if you don’t vote. It does count if you do vote. I know personally that every vote counts.

When I was the city editor in Port Angeles one race we covered was decided by two votes. That’s right, only two votes. If just a few more people went to the polls the result of that race would have changed.

Like you, I get discouraged by the ballot measures. The wording can be so tricky. “Would you like to undo what the Legislature didn’t do?”

That is what some of them sound like. What does that mean anyway?

Why can’t they be honest and upfront about what we are voting on? It’s criminal because many people vote differently than what they want because of the wording issue.

When it comes to candidates many of us don’t like incumbents because they aren’t accomplishing anything because of the deadlock. But we vote for them anyway because who are these people running against them?

They criticize their opponent but don’t have any specifics. Or they seem to agree with everything the incumbent is doing. Then why make a change? Others run because they feel it’s their civic duty. That’s no reason to elect someone. Tell us why you would be better. Otherwise, at least the incumbent knows where the state Capitol is.

What’s really frustrating is when the person you wanted to win is voted in, but then can’t get anything done because of gridlock. Or, worse yet, they change their mind on a political measure important to you because they don’t want to go against the rest of their party. Or, worse yet, they change their vote because of a political action committee or other donations.

And politicians often stretch the truth. They can be part of the gridlock, but when it comes to a final vote they go with their party so they can say they helped pass this most-important measure of all time.

It’s also crazy when voters do approve laws, such as the one

It is clear that the focus of our Arlington School District is on meeting the educational needs of our youth “every child, every hour, every day.”

However, part of teaching our children is bringing them to school and home every day, and that part of our schools is in need of funding from the community in the form of a one-time, twoyear levy.

Our current bus fleet is old. It is the oldest bus fleet in Snohomish County. We also ask our old buses to travel an astounding 4,800 miles every day. Because of the age of our buses, fewer are considered in depreciation and thus fewer are eligible for state money.

To explain this another way, we receive less money from the state than if we were to have newer buses. Old buses are harder and more expensive to maintain.

Newer buses are significantly safer in many ways, in addition to being less expensive to maintain and run.

With the proposed transportation levy we will update our bus fleet and then use the increased state funds to keep our fleet modern. With the increase in funding from the state, we will be able to gradually replace older buses without asking voters for further levies.

Our children deserve the wonderful schools that we have. They also deserve safe, reliable buses.

Our community deserves a bus fleet that is efficient, both economically and environmentally.

We deserve to be able to take advantage of as much of the state funding as is reasonable. To do anything else would be fiscally irresponsible. In order to give our community what we truly deserve we need to vote yes on the transportation vehicle levy on Nov. 4.

M’ville rider reins in title after a few months

7

She’s ridden for years, but only that style since June

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Avid horse rider and photojournalist Melody De Lappe was handed an opportunity of a lifetime.

DeLappe grew up in horse country in Pasadena, Calif. “I was one of those crazy little girls that always loved horses,” she said.

“It’s been my lifelong passion.”

She begged her parents to want to own and ride horses. She eventually got her way, taking lessons when she was 10-years-old.

Now in her 50s, De Lappe won the Reining Green Rider Finals National Championship at the Morgan Grand Nationals horse show in Oklahoma City Oct. 18.

“I was shocked and astounded. It was sort of surreal,” she said. “I certainly ride to win but I never expect to win.”

De Lappe’s horse-riding career was not from one end to another. She stopped riding for 10 years when one of her horses died in 1993.

“It was devastating,” she said. “I could do anything with her.”

But she got back into riding when her 9-year old daughter, Shelby, wanted to learn how to ride.

“She didn’t even know that I knew how to

ride horses,” De Lappe said.

De Lappe writes for the Morgan Horse Magazine and was sent on a photo assignment in Idaho to write about a Working Morgan breed of horses on a ranch. She was introduced to a horse named LittleWood Inside Straight, nicknamed Dusty.

She was given “surprise-reining-lessons” on Dusty one day. “I never gave it another thought,” she said. But Dusty’s owners liked what they saw. “And they asked me, ‘Melody, would you ride to help our horse qualify for nationals?’” De Lappe said.

“And I said, ‘Sure I would.’”

De Lappe just started reined riding in June.

“I’ve only ridden Dusty seven times, and the sevMelody De Lappe enth time was the time I National champion won,” she said.

Reining is a type of western riding horse competition that has the rider control the horse through precise patterns of circles, spins and stops.

“I am a capable rider,” she said. “I can get on most horses and do okay.”

It would have normally cost $1,000 to attend such a championship, but since Dusty’s owners were already in the contest the fees were covered.

“I was very grateful for that,” she said.

“I’ve only ridden Dusty seven times, and the seventh time was the time I won.”

Most Lakewood folks seem to like new school

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — With construction on the new $66.8 million Lakewood High School building set to start in the spring or summer of 2015, community members were invited to the existing school to find out what the future had in store for them.

Kari Parks is a mom to two kids, but with her oldest in fourth grade at English Crossing Elementary, it’ll be a while before either of them attend high school in the new building. Still, she regards it as something to look forward to.

“I’m excited by the fact that it’s going to be totally rebuilt and replaced from the ground up,” Parks said.

“It’s time. We were due for a completely new high school, both for our kids

“We were due for a completely new high school, both for our kids and our community.”

Kari Parks, Mother of two students and our community.”

While Parks was intrigued by the idea of outdoor learning spaces, fellow Lakewood mom Ilene Miller appreciates that the new facility will be built with room for the student population to grow.

“It just seems very crowded right now,” Miller said. “I also like that they’ve moved the timetable up, so that my daughter will hopefully get to enjoy it by the time she’s a high school junior.”

Ilene’s daughter, Nicole Miller, attends Lakewood

Born in Roland, Iowa on April 2nd, 1923, Carl and his parents moved to California when he was 5 years old. Carl served as an Army mechanic in WWII. In 1948, Carl married Betty Jeanne Hanson and pursued a career as a high school machine shop teacher in the Los Angeles school district. In 1978, the couple left their home in Palos Verdes, CA and retired to Marysville, WA. In 2004, the Hellands moved to Colorado. He is proceeded in death by his wife Betty Jeanne and is survived by his children Patrice (Gordon) Von Stroh and David Helland, his grandchildren, Christina Von Stroh, Jonathan (Jennifer) Von Stroh and Justin Von Stroh, and his great-grandchildren, Elizabeth and Christopher Von Stroh.

Middle School. As a basketball player, Nicole was glad to see the school’s floor plan included two gymnasiums, although area resident Karen Swanson considered this wasteful.

“Between the gyms, the fitness room, the weight room, and all the square footage that’s being taken up by the theater and the band, music and vocal rooms, these are spaces that

won’t lead students on a path that will support their lives,” said Swanson, who does not have children in the district.

Andrew Smith graduated from LHS in 2006, but he’s returned for the past six years to help build sets for the school plays. “It’ll be nice for the next generations of students not to have to go to classes in portables, or to walk all the way

“We’ll start with all the work we can do that will be least disruptive to the existing school,” said Mack, who aims to see construction wrapped in August of 2017.

Clinical trials are research studies designed to investigate new drugs and treatments.

This trial called MONALEESA-2 is investigating a new class of drugs called CDK4/6 inhibitors produced by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. These drugs target proteins called cyclin dependent kinases which plays an important role in growth and spread of cancer cells. Drugs that block cyclin-dependent kinases may be able to slow or stop growth and spread.

This study is looking for post-menopausal women with recurrent or breast cancer that has spread.

The Frightful Freaks of Arlington High School Future Farmers of America’s Haunted House hope to present some especially startling scares this weekend after learning the ropes last weekend. A clown with a chainsaw, a hungry zombie, and a graveyard creature are among the attractions.

Haunted house helps FFA students with expenses

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington High School Future Farmers of America’s annual haunted house drew an estimated 70 attendees in its startup weekend, but organizers expect an even bigger crowd to coincide with the Hometown Halloween this weekend.

AHS FFA faculty adviser Jessica Nemnich explained that five adults and as many as 25 stu-

dents worked to bring the haunted house back for its seventh year in the school’s greenhouse.

“We were still getting things ready last weekend,” Nemnich said of Oct. 17-18. “The kids have definitely figured out their tactics now, though. They’ve got their makeup techniques down better, and they have a much better idea of where to hide for the maximum scare effect.”

Of the teens who already

attended, sisters Cami and Lily Hanna agreed with friend Jared Allen that it was frightful.

“I know a lot of the kids who put this event on,” said Allen, a 17-year-old AHS junior. “The pop-ups are nice, and the scares come at you from different places every year. I’m always impressed that they can fit so much in such a small space.”

Nemnich noted that the haunted house helps raise money for the

FFA students to travel to events as far away as Vancouver, Wash., and the eastern side of the state.

“Those trips can be pretty expensive,” said Nemnich, who estimated that the haunted house raised about $300 last weekend.

“We hope we’ll do better the closer we get to Halloween, and with Hometown Halloween coming up this Saturday, we can tie into that.”

The haunted house reopens from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Friday, Oct.

24, and Saturday, Oct. 25. With Arlington’s Hometown Halloween also set for Oct. 25, the haunted house will offer a slightly tamer set of scares for younger children from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

“If you have little kids, though, you can swing by any time, and just ask us to tone it down,” Nemnich said.

Tickets are $5, $3 for children under 13 and $4 for those with ASB cards.

Salvation Army opens new M’ville location to help people in need

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — In the month since they’ve opened, the new offices of the Salvation Army in Marysville have already picked up the local branch’s traditional practices of

Wednesday night dinners, serving an average of 40 people each. It also looks forward to offering music for young people every Friday night.

Michelle Rutherford, one of the ministry leaders for the Salvation Army

Welcome Dr. E. Sara Huh! Northwest Eye Surgeons is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. E. Sara Huh to our professional team, as a specialist in glaucoma consultations and surgery.

Dr. Huh received her Doctor of Medicine from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She completed her ophthalmology residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. She then stayed at the University of Illinois at Chicago to complete a fellowship in glaucoma.

The Salvation army is a Christian church and charity organization, and its offices at 7227 44th Ave. NE in Marysville are open Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Fridays by

appointment. They were officially dedicated by city dignitaries Oct. 18.

Marysville City Council member Donna Wright noted that the Salvation Army had already logged 1,200 volunteer hours, dished up 1,500 hot meals and served 1,780 people in the Marysville-Tulalip community, whose needs she deemed great.

Salvation Army Lt. Col. Harold Brodin credited Alissa Jones with offering local after-school programs through the group.

“The kids just love her,” Brodin said.

Major Doug Tollerud, Northwest Division Commander for the Salvation Army, recalled how he met his wife over cups of Salvation Army coffee in Anchorage, Alaska.

“It changes lives,” Tollerud said. “You see these folks on the corner, holding up signs, and they want to get Reach

Gene Rutherford expressed his appreciation to the city and community for helping the Salvation Army move into its new offices.

Low oil prices mean more paving planned for city roads Oct. 20.

“Keep the machine running,” he said about taking advantage of low prices to get work done.

Muller even suggested expanding the paving season, which normally is August through October.

Mayor Jon Nehring agreed, saying it could be backed up to July because of

MARYSVILLE – With oil prices down, now would be a great time to start getting bids on ongoing pavement projects in the city.

That’s what City Council Member Stephen Muller was pushing for at a Marysville Transportation Benefit District meeting

changing weather patterns.

Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen said they could even do some work in the spring, depending on oil prices then.

Road projects were done this year on Grove, State from 88th to 92nd, and 108th from Shoultes to 67th.

By avoiding weather problems and doing some

weekend work all is done except for striping, and it is $100,000 under budget.

That means there is $200,000 left for another project this year. The board decided to use that money on 44th. It was explained that the work could be done even in November because road crews will be paving at a thicker depth.

Hometown Halloween a full day of activities From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jesse Taylor will be performing country music at the gazebo, and hot dogs and brats will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a beer-tasting event from noon to 2 p.m.

ARLINGTON — A full day of events is scheduled in downtown Arlington the Saturday before Halloween.

The annual pumpkincarving contest will be held at the Arlington Hardware Store at 215 N. Olympic Ave. Contestants are encouraged to drop off their decorated pumpkins and register Saturday, Oct. 25, from 7-10:30 a.m.

Judging of the pumpkins will be at 11 a.m., with a drawing for a bicycle from all entries at 11:30 a.m.

Arlington’s Taking Steps to Beat Breast Cancer 5K walk is also Oct. 25.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. with a Zumba warmup and application of pink hair extensions.

The walk will begin at 10 a.m. down Olympic Avenue and cross into the Centennial Trail.

From 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Jesse Taylor will be performing country music at the gazebo, and hot dog and brats will be available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a beer-tasting event from noon to 2 p.m.

Playa Bonita Restaurant is giving 15 percent of proceeds for the day to the American Cancer Society.

Arlington United Church is hosting a Harvest Party from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The church is located just east of Olympic Avenue at 338 N. McLeod Ave. The free events include

a bouncy house, fun house and games.

Participating downtown Arlington businesses are sponsoring trick-or-treating along Olympic Avenue from noon to 1 p.m.

At the same time, Falcon Ridge Fellowship is hosting “Trick or Trunk” in the City Hall parking lot.

Afterwards, there will be

a costume contest at Legion Park at 1 p.m.

Prizes will be provided by the Arlington Arts Council.

The Great Pumpkin Roll is back.

Youth Dynamics is sponsoring this fun event.

Bring your pumpkin and register at the top of First Street Hill at 1:30 p.m.

The roll starts at 2 p.m.

All ages are welcome.

For more information about these events in Arlington, call the recreation office at 360-4033448.

People can also like them on Facebook to help spread the word at www.facebook. com/arlingtonwa.

Rather than asphalt, they will be paving over a subbase so it can be done at lower temperatures.

With the tax approved by voters to update local roads, $1.6 million will be spent next year, too, including $250,000 for shoulder work and the rest for overlay.

The city will get a $500,000 federal grant for work on 67th, so the city portion of the $600,000 project will be comparatively small.

Work will continue where it left off on Sunnyside from 52nd Street to 47th.

Wesco teams heading to seeding playoffs

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE - The Marysville-Pilchuck gridiron gang has dominated the 3A North this season.

Ranked No. 1 in its region as of Oct. 23, the Tomahawks compiled an overall record of 6-1, winning all of their conference games.

The offensive workhorse has been Austin Joyner and M-P’s other running backs.

Head coach Brandon Carson has estimated that M-P has rushed over 2,000 yards.

“When the ball is in their hands, we like our chances,” Carson said.

M-P played its final regular-season game against Oak Harbor Oct. 24, but results happened after deadline.

Arlington High School sustained a 54-27 beating when it faced Marysville-Pilchuck at Quil Ceda Stadium Oct. 17.

Washington State University-bound Joyner lit up Arlington’s defense, scoring five touchdowns in the first half. Joyner’s teammate, Killian Page also scored twice for the Tomahawks.

It was a big night for M-P’s defense, creating more scoring opportunities.

“Offensively we were able to run the ball,” Carson said. “We caused turnovers and got extra possessions.”

With the decisive win, Carson said his team is in the right rhythm for the playoffs.

“You gotta limit the amount of mistakes you make because those can be magnified in playoffs,” he said.

ARLINGTON - The Arlington Eagles had some impressive wins but also three blowout losses in the regular season. As of Oct. 23, Arlington was ranked No. 3 in the 3A North with a conference record of 2-2 and 4-3 overall.

Arlington played its last regular-season game Oct. 24 against Everett but those

MARYSVILLE - It hasn’t been an easy season for Marysville Getchell, but head coach Davis Lura had only good things to say about his team.

“We’ve been very positive,” Lura said. “We lost a couple of games but we were only six yards away from winning those.”

His sophomore heavy-team, including running back Collin Montez, has been playing against older more-experienced teams.

“Those sophomores are no longer sophomores, they are getting thrown into the fire,” Lura said. “They’re playing varsity seniors.”

As of Oct. 23, MG is ranked No. 5 in the 3A North with a conference record of 1-3 and 2-5 overall.

MG played its final regular-season game against Stanwood Oct. 24, but results happened after deadline.

Montez and the Chargers beat Everett 35-26. Montez rushed for 358 yards and scored four touchdowns on 38 carries, and caught a 43-yard score.

MG’s defense was able to stave off a second-half comeback when Everett opened the third quarter with two-consecutive touchdowns. With the score just 21-18, the Chargers responded with Montez scoring back-to-back touchdowns to take back the lead over Everett.

LAKEWOOD - Though not exactly mirroring its undefeated regular season of last year, Lakewood has still made a good run in conference.

Despite cycling through various quarterbacks, the Cougars have been on a threegame winning streak, clinching the No. 3 spot in the 2A conference.

As of Oct. 23 Lakewood’s record was 4-1 in conference and 4-3 overall. The Cougars played South Whidbey Oct. 24, but results happened after deadline.

Lakewood hosts Granite Falls in its final regular season game Thursday, Oct. 30.

Lakewood shut out Sultan 49-0. Brett Bustad returned a 91-yard kickoff for a touchdown. Lakewood’s Blake Watts completed two touchdown passes connecting on seven of 10 passes.

the 1B conference with a league record of 1-2 and 3-3 overall.

Tulalip lost to Lopez 74-22 Oct. 18.

Tulalip will host Clallam Bay Saturday, Oct. 25 at QuilCeda Stadium with kickoff at 1 p.m.

Next week, Tulalip plays its final regularseason game Thursday, Oct. 30. against Lummi Nation.

More honors for Joyner MARYSVILLE – Marysville-Pilchuck High School star running back Austin Joyner was selected as a Semper Fidelis All-American by the Marine Corp Recruiting Station in Seattle Oct. 17. The reward is given to student-athletes based on character and athletic achievements. Joyner was presented with his 2015 Semper Fidelis All-American Bowl jersey at M-P’s auditorium by Marine Corp personnel.

He is only one of two players from Washington state to be awarded this honor.

Joyner was also recognized as Athlete of the Week by the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association for his performance in M-P’s last game against Arlington High School.

Junior Stephanie Smith, 5, of Lakewood tries to control a loose ball in the Cougars’ game against Shorewood, which the home team won 3-0.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington girls soccer team defeated Shorewood 3-0 Oct. 21.

“Overall, I think this an excellent win for us,” Arlington head coach Nathan Davis said. “I think it helped our confidence and puts us in the right frame of mind as we prepare for the playoffs.”

Junior midfielder Olivia Larsen scored off an assist from fellow senior midfielder Jillian Busby in the 23rd minute. Senior forward Bre Morren then scored a goal with an assist from Larson in the 75th minute. Morren and junior midfielder Alison Enell put together the final goal at the 79th minute.

“Busby played great in the midfield,” Davis said.

“She had several nice passes to create dangerous chances for us.”

The Eagles played Mountlake Terrace away, Oct. 23, but results were not available by press time.

Arlington closes the regular season hosting Marysville-Pilchuck Monday, Oct. 27, and traveling to Lynnwood Wednesday, Oct. 29.

As of Oct. 23, Arlington was ranked No. 2 in the 3A North with a conference record of 7-2 and 11-2 overall.

LAKEWOOD — Despite thunder and lightning, the Lakewood girls soccer team defeated Sultan 3-1 Oct. 20.

The weather called for a

75-minute delay prior to the second half.

“That long of a delay always impacts play, but both teams played a great second half,” Lakewood head coach Steve Brown said.

Scorers for Lakewood included junior Stephanie Smith, who kicked a goal in the first half and another one in the second.

Lakewood continued its dominance, defeating South Whidbey 1-0 Oct. 22, with Smith scoring the game-winning goal.

The Cougars play their last regular-season game Saturday, Oct. 25, away against Granite Falls.

As of Oct. 23, Lakewood was ranked No. 4 in the 2A standings with a conference record of 7-6.

Tennis standouts play at regionals

Diver Brooke Wherley.

Diver excels MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell diver Brooke Wherley placed first scoring 330.5 points when MG and MarysvillePilchuck competed against Meadowdale Oct. 21.

Though MG’s swim team lost 132-33 against Meadowdale and so did M-P 111-60, both teams had some high placers.

MG’s Emmaline Savidge placed second in the 100back with a time of 1:17.65.

Top finishers for M-P included Abigail Magee placing first in the 200 IM with a time of 2:20.49, Rebekah Pusateri finishing first in the 50-freestyle in 27.92 seconds, Lauren Carson placing first in diving scoring 141.40, and Abigail Magee finishing first in the 100-fly with a time of 1:03.50.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell senior and tennis player Tristan Hasseler said this is his year to shine.

“Last year was tough,” he said. “I played a lot of tough opponents.”

But Hasseler aims to put together what he has learned to the test.

“I feel like this year I’m going to put all four years of what I have learned to play,” he said. “I want to reach my full potential.”

He is the No. 1 singles player with a record of 7-and-7.

Besides the competitive nature of the sport, Hasseler enjoys the character-building aspect of tennis.

“It teaches you a lot of life lessons,” he said. “A lot of things learned on the court can be applied to life.”

Those things include keeping calm in stressful situations.

“It pushes myself as a person more than an athlete,” he said.

He started playing tennis when he was 10, but didn’t consider it his sport until high school. Hasseler’s older sister, Beth, got him into the sport when she played for Marysville-Pilchuck.

His aggressive style and pressuring the net is what he does best, Hasseler said.

“He plays tennis the closest to how I play,” said his coach, Andrew Christopher.

“The way he wants to be aggressive is fun to coach.”

Hasseler is still applying for colleges but wants to keep up tennis. He has heard back from Montana State University.

“I’d like to keep playing;

ARLINGTON — Arlington senior Jesse Vaughan wants to make it past regionals and into districts in his final year.

“I want to go as far as I can,” he said.

Vaughan played tennis, football and cross country in his freshman year. He ultimately chose tennis as his sport of focus.

“It’s fun. I like the team camaraderie, and everyone gets along,” Vaughan said.

He is currently the No. 1 doubles with teammate Connor Ghirardo with a 9-4 record.

“We’re both consistent, and we don’t get frustrated with each other,” he said.

His coach, Sean Cunningham, said Vaughan

and Ghirardo have a shot at advancing to districts if not winning the regional title.

“They complement each other very well and have a great ground game,” he said. “They are not complete underdogs.”

Vaughan played on the varsity team for the first time last season.

“I wasn’t too good,” he said. “I only won one match in regionals.”

He described his junior year as a growing year, where he was also taking additional lessons.

Vaughan prepared for this season by running through drills with his teammates.

“He’s a solid kid and has worked really hard,” Cunningham said. “He’s really enjoyed this year.”

So far he is applying to schools like University of Washington and Utah State

University and wants to continue tennis.

“If possible, I would like to join a college or club team,” he said. “I definitely still want to play with friends.”

MARYSVILLE — Mar ysville-Pilchuck senior tennis player Jacob Bansberg has the brains and skills to flourish in tennis.

And playing his last year as a Tomahawk, Bansberg is mastering his craft.

“I’ve improved my consistency in hitting with more power,” Bansberg said. He is currently the No. 1 singles for M-P. He started tennis about seven years ago taking lessons as encouraged by his mother.

He enjoyed it and eventually walked on to M-P’s tennis team as a sophomore.

“I have only been here for three years, but I have had the privilege of coaching him for each one,” Marysville-Pilchuck head tennis coach Evan Shaw said. “He’s a great kid that loves tennis.”

He’s athletic and stands six-foot-four, but Shaw said his generalship and tactics on the court are his most prominent attributes.

“I think he is different because he can dictate the game and knows how to have his opponent make mistakes,” Shaw said.

“He keeps the ball in play.”

Shaw anticipates a strong performance from Bansberg at regionals.

“I think he is going to get a fairly decent seed as he enters districts,” Shaw said.

“He will see some great opponents.”

Auction raises $11K for community projects

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Sarah and Bill Blake check out dessert at the auction.

ARLINGTON — After a downturn in attendance and donations last year, the Arlington Arts Council’s annual “Fall Into Art” auction bounced back Oct. 18.

AAC president Sarah Arney said the fundraiser surpassed organizers’ goal of $10,000, reaching nearly $11,000 thanks to the

event’s 114 attendees, just six seats short of selling out at the Gleneagle Country Club.

Arney noted that most years’ auctions draw around $10,000, and have raised as much as $12,000, but last year only drew about $9,000, with less than 100 attendees.

“Last year, at least two or three of our regular supporters weren’t able to show up, and each of them is usually able to fill an entire table by themselves,” Arney said.

“This year, we also benefited from signage around

town, events such as the Arlington Art Walk, and visible projects that were completed recently, including the ‘Rooted Embrace’ sculpture and the mural on West Avenue. They all attracted plenty of attention.”

Arney explained that the AAC’s budget has grown enough for its members to choose whether to fund simpler, short-term projects or more involved long-term projects.

“It’s just my personal goal, but I’ve always wanted to see a sculpture for Haller Bridge on Centennial Trail,”

Arney said.

“It’d be neat to look up and see an osprey with its wings wide open.”

The council will draw up a formal draft of its next budget during its November meeting, before the final draft is approved in December.

The council meets on the second Tuesday of every month at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club at 18513 59th Ave. NE. The Nov. 11 meeting will start with an artists’ workshop at 5 p.m., before the council meeting from 6-7 p.m.

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 planes, flak and casualties.

I was inducted at age 18 and still had 4½ months of high school to complete. Bus loads of us were sent to Ft. Lewis, Washington, 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 way 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 gravy. 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 square 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 everyday activities. 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 started. 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

15

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 and 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 knew 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.

Arlington’s Larsen heavy favorite Nov. 4 election

EVERETT — Democratic U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen brings a battlehardened resume and a wealth of campaign cash as he seeks an eighth term in Congress.

His challenger in Washington’s 2nd District, BJ Guillot, hopes to pull off a long-shot victory on Nov. 4, despite a shortage of experience and money. That leaves the libertarian-minded Republican relying on the appeal of an unconventional candidacy and policy differences with Larsen.

“It’s always an uphill battle when you’re fighting an incumbent,” Guillot said. “I think I do have a chance. I’m a more moderate Republican than what people have seen in recent times.”

Larsen doesn’t take his job for granted, even after winning more than 61 percent of the vote against his Republican opponent two years ago.

“I’m working hard to try to get people back to work,” he said.

“The benefits of the recovery haven’t spread to everybody.”

Larsen took 55.6 percent of the Aug. 5 primary vote compared to Guillot’s 32.7 percent.

Another 11.7 percent went for Mike Lapointe, an Independent candidate who championed environmental causes and the Occupy movement.

The district includes Marysville, Arlington and Tulalip.

Larsen, 49, grew up in Arlington, one of eight siblings. He and his wife, Tia, have two sons.

He had been working as a Washington State Dental Association lobbyist in 1997, when he started his political career with a successful run for the Snohomish County Council.

In 2000, he won his first term in Guillot Congress. He now serves on the House’s Armed Services and Transportation committees.

The latter assignment, he said, gives him a prominent role drafting legislation to boost the economy through bridge and highway projects. Larsen said he’s trying to overcome partisan bickering by working quietly with Republican colleagues on aerospace and Arctic issues.

To demonstrate his environmental record, Larsen points to money he secured to help restore local estuaries and legislation to protect land in the San Juan Islands.

“No amount of posturing on an issue is going to undermine the strong record on the environment that I have,” he said.

Guillot, 40, moved to Marysville from his home state of Texas in 2011, when his wife, Samantha, took a job with the Boeing Co. For work, Guillot develops software used by hospitals and ambulance companies.

Technology is more than just a paycheck — it’s a passion. He drives an all-electric Nissan Leaf and installed solar panels on his home. For fun, he studies astronomy and collects vintage computers such as the Texas Instruments 99/4A. “I love cool technology, I love science fiction. I love all of that,” he said. “I think it’s really cool that you’re able to drive a car without getting gas.”

Guillot serves on the Marysville Library Board, but has no experience in publicly elected office. He lost a race for the Marysville City Council last year.

Stopping the National Security Agency from spying on U.S. citizens is one of Guillot’s top political goals. His support for the Second Amendment, closing the borders to illegal immigrants and reducing federal spending puts him in line with the mainstream GOP. In other ways, Guillot is politically nonconformist.

He has no qualms with gay marriage or legalizing marijuana for recreational use. While highly uncomfortable with abortion, he supports preserving women’s

choice to have one.

“I don’t want to see it, but it is their right,” he said.

He says he’s pro-military, but anti-war.

“We’ve been in a constant state of war since 9/11,” he said. “I don’t think it’s the right thing for us to do, getting involved with ISIS.” Guillot takes Larsen to task for supporting the Boeing machinists’ vote Larsen on contract concessions. That, he said, has cost the incumbent union support.

“He’s got some issues that make him particularly vulnerable this time around,” Guillot said.

Larsen said Guillot and others have misrepresented his position on the vote, which passed narrowly in January to cut worker benefits in exchange for future jet production in Everett.

“I did advocate that a vote be taken,” he said. “I didn’t advocate that people vote ‘yes’ or ‘no.’”

Larsen said he understands that machinists are angry with him.

“Sometimes, friends disagree, but you just have to work together on the issues that come up,” he said.

The candidates differ on the proposed Gateway Pacific coal-

export terminal at Cherry Point in Whatcom County.

Guillot opposes the project for its potential to worsen traffic headaches in Marysville and other communities along the rail line.

Another concern for Guillot is the increasing use of trains to transport crude oil, which he said poses the risk of spills and explosions. It would be better, in his opinion, to build oil pipelines.

Larsen said he supports the Cherry Point Terminal, if it can be held to high standards to mitigate traffic and environmental impacts.

“I looked at the issue in totality and concluded that it was a good issue,” Larsen said.

“It would create hundreds of jobs in a county where thousands are out of work.”

As for crude, he’d rather see trains carrying oil to refineries in his district and creating jobs.

“If they’re not refining this crude, we’re going to see more ships, more oil tankers on the Puget Sound,” he said.

Larsen wants to see freight impacts lessened through investments in roadways, more inspections, higher safety standards for tanker cars and additional training for emergency workers who would respond to a derailment.

By mid-October, Larsen’s campaign reported raising more than $774,000, Guillot’s only about $5,500.

double the district’s current levy of 69 cents per $1,000.

“It is a more-expensive service, but it’s a financial investment in your life, health and safety, and a financial investment in the potential savings in (home) insurance,” Fire Chief Travis Hots said.

The fire district relies primarily on volunteers to respond to emergency calls. Over time, it’s gotten harder to recruit and retain volunteers and have them trained to state standards, Hots said.

In recent months, that’s meant

as few as one or two volunteers are available at any given moment.

“The biggest thing is we want to guarantee a response, and we can’t do that anymore with the current makeup of the volunteers,” Hots said.

Arlington Rural, also known as Snohomish County Fire District 21, serves 8,214 people living in 68 square miles in the unincorporated areas of Arlington Heights, Trafton, Jim Creek, Jordan Road and Burn Road. The annual budget is about $883,600, and the

crews get roughly 600 calls a year, mostly medical emergencies.

If approved by voters, the levy would draw about $590,000 a year.

The money also would be used for training on firefighting, medical skills and technical rescues, and replacing aging equipment, Hots said. The fire district is split in half by the South Fork Stillaguamish River, where water rescue calls and flooding are common.

The new fire station would be built in the south end of the district, perhaps in the McElroy Road

or Burn Road area, Hots said.

The idea is to have fewer homes and buildings in the district that are farther than five miles from the nearest fire station, Hots said.

The proposed changes in the Arlington Rural district are similar to work Hots has done in Getchell, where he is also the fire chief. For example, making sure all his crews have basic medical training.

“We desire to provide the same services that everyone else is providing in the county, and we can’t do that anymore,” Hots said.

Arlington rural district wants to build 2nd fire station, add staff

By Rikki King

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Rural fire district wants to add around-the-clock staffing and build a second fire station to better protect people and property.

To do that, it is asking voters to approve a levy on the Nov. 4 general election ballot. The levy would draw $1.50 per $1,000 of property value, meaning a $300 annual bill for the owner of a $200,000 house. That’s more than

Guilty verdict in 19-year-old killing of local woman

By Scott North and Diana Hefley, Herald Writers north@heraldnet.com

EVERETT — Justice found Patti Berry of Arlington on Oct. 20, more than 19 years after she was taken from her family.

Danny Ross Giles, 46, was convicted of first-degree murder in the “cold case” killing. The longtime sex offender was linked to Berry’s death by DNA tests and the skein of lies he spun after being confronted by detectives in 2011.

The mystery surrounding Berry’s killing was solved by a special team of detectives that her mother, Nancy Stensrud, had lobbied the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office to create so investigations would continue in unsolved murders gone cold for lack of clues.

The jury listened to nearly three weeks of testimony and began deliberating Oct. 16.

Superior Court Judge Bruce Weiss glanced at the verdict forms and then asked Giles and his attorneys to rise. Longtime public defender Neal Friedman studied jurors as they individually affirmed that they believe Giles is guilty of murdering Berry.

Attorney Linda Coburn later wrapped an arm around Giles’ back.

“We truly believe Dan is not guilty of this and we’re disappointed the jury found him guilty. It’s not over,” Friedman said later.

Under state guidelines, Giles faces a minimum 22 years behind bars at his Nov. 5 sentencing. A much longer prison term is likely,

however, because of his criminal history. Giles has been cycling in and out of prison all of his adult life, starting with a rape conviction in 1987.

“What a relief!” cold-case detective Jim Scharf said of the verdict.

Scharf breathed life back into the case when he submitted the steering wheel from Berry’s bloodstained car for DNA testing.

Evidence convinced investigators that the killer not only attacked Berry in her car, but also likely drove the vehicle to dump her body in a wooded area behind the Everett Mall.

In 2004, forensic testing using techniques that weren’t available in 1995, found on the steering wheel a mix of DNA from Berry and a man. Scharf said that dis-

know a great deal about the case, including that Scharf was the lead detective.

“His distancing himself from everything, I think, gave us a lot more hope that we could get a conviction,” Scharf said.

Giles was not a suspect until 2008 when the DNA link was made. By the time trial approached, additional testing had turned up DNA consistent with his profile on the cuffs of the jeans Berry was wearing when she was killed, and on the driver’s seat headrest from her car. Jurors were told those were traces left by the killer when he put Berry’s body into the backseat, and when he pulled off her pants before dumping her in the woods.

Further testing also tied Giles to the 1995 disappearance and

covery convinced him one day Berry’s killer would be found.

“Before that, this was one of a number of cold cases that I didn’t think had much of a chance of getting resolved,” he said.

Four years later, in 2008, forensic scientists at the state’s crime lab said Giles was the man who left behind DNA on the steering wheel. The odds of a random match were calculated at 1 in 580 million.

Scharf and another detective confronted Giles in 2011. Giles told a series of easily refuted lies about the jobs he’d held and the places he was known to frequent.

Detectives believed he was trying to distance himself from places connected to Berry’s killing. At the same time, Giles appeared to

presumed death of Tracey Brazzel, who dropped from sight a few months prior to Berry’s killing.

Giles’ DNA allegedly turned up on Brazzel’s car, too. He was charged in 2012 with murder in that case as well.

Trial in the Brazzel killing is now scheduled for early November.

Berry was a single mom who supported herself and her daughter, then 2, by dancing nude at Honey’s, a nightclub that used to be located along Highway 99 south of Everett. She disappeared July 31, 1995, after working her shift.

Her family searched for her and after her body was found, never wavered in urging police and prosecutors to keep pressing for answers.

On Monday, Stensrud brought to court with her the 1999 report she and the families of other murder victims had prepared about “cold case” squads, and the good that they do. The report was part of the pitch they made to convince Snohomish County officials to set aside money to start the team.

Only when killers are put behind bars will families have the chance to properly grieve, Stensrud wrote at the time.

“What I want most of all is to one day spend some time at the cemetery, (to) tell Patti that we never gave up, and that my love for her kept me going. Only then can I say my final ‘goodbye’ and start to rebuild my life,” she wrote.

Stensrud said that soon, she and others in her family will make that visit — something they’ve been waiting on for nearly 20 years.

M’ville man uses grinders on safes

Potter throws ceramic drums for new sound

Katy Perry trip helps local girl win contest

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON – Gayle Persis marches to the tune of a different drummer.

That’s why the drums she makes are made of ceramic.

Persis said she starting making ceramic drums about nine years ago when her percussionist brother asked her to make three of them. He collects drums, and she’s a potter so “he thought it would be cool,” she said. “I’ve been making them ever since.”

Her brother doesn’t use them in performances.

“He likes the sound, but not the weight, so he doesn’t pack them around to gigs,” Persis said.

The ceramic drums come in all shapes and sizes. They didn’t break the mold, she never had one.

Being a potter, “I love to throw them,” she said, adding “They are remarkably unique” and people are “free to do their own thing with it.”

Some people use them as drums, but many just use them as decorations.

Ceramic drums do have their limitations. The deer hide Persis stretches for the drum heads has to be glued on. As a result, the drum can’t be tuned. If the head was tightened, it would crack the ceramic.

Persis makes pots and artwork like other potters, but she also likes to be cre-

EVERETT — A Marysville man who used a grinder to slice open safes, squeezing his small hands into the incisions and making off with thousands of dollars, was sentenced to 12 years in prison Oct. 21.

Police say Adam Nemra, 30, has committed dozens of after-hours burglaries at businesses from Bellingham to Bremerton.

Nemra targeted Burger Kings, Jiffy Lubes and Great Clips.

He also was accused of stealing high-priced merchandise and selling the property online.

One company was hit at five locations. It reported losing more than $57,000 in goods and being on the hook for another $10,000 in damage.

ative in making musical instruments. One that she is experimenting with now consists of three cymbals over a large pot. She wanted to see if natural rain would be a good source to strike the cymbal. She didn’t like it so now she wants to try it as a fountain.

Persis also makes twoheaded drums, Native American Udo and gourd percussion instruments.

Prices range from $25 to $400.

She sells most of her work at local shows, one at Christmas and a couple in the summer, such as the Festival of the River in Arlington. She doesn’t sell much online.

“Pottery is heavy so I don’t ship much,” she said.

“If I do I tell them it will cost twice as much.”

Persis has loved art her entire life. Born in Ohio, she moved with her family to the area during the Seattle World’s Fair in the early 1960s.

“My mother said even when I was a little tiny kid I always wanted to be an art-

Everett police were investigating a rash of break-ins at Jiffy Lubes last fall when two more burglaries happened — one at a pizza restaurant, the other at a dollar store.

The suspect left behind drops of blood. Police were able to zero in on Nemra.

They obtained a warrant to take a DNA sample from the convicted felon.

His genetic profile matched blood found at three crime scenes, court papers say.

Nemra was charged with a single count of burglary in 2013. He bailed out and went on to commit additional heists this year. He was arrested again in May. Nemra pleaded guilty to five counts of second-degree burglary in August. He also pleaded guilty to possessing stolen property and trafficking in stolen property.

ist,” she said. “I would draw and mess around with stuff.”

She did a little bit of art in high school, and more in college.

She really got into pottery when she met her exhusband while attending the California College for the Arts in Oakland.

“He was supposed to teach me pottery. I didn’t learn much, but we had a lot of fun,” she said with a laugh.

In 1971 they bought their “little piece of paradise and hard work,” she said. It was 3 1/2 acres with a rundown

house and an old barn for $14,000.

Her studio is still there.

She’s out there in the remodeled barn for at least an hour and up to nine hours almost every day. It’s her place of solitude, except for National Public Radio playing in the background.

Walking around her studio there is clay, deer skin, pots, stain, acrylic, a potter’s wheel, four kilns and so much more. Items she has made include a bird bath, dragon wine rack, lamps and plates.

Some of the work is very intricate and detailed.

“I curl up on the couch” to do that,” she said.

Persis will be selling some of her work at the Frailey Mountain Art Show and Sale Nov. 1-2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Call 360-435-5152 for directions or email gayle. persis@gmail.com.

ARLINGTON – Elyssa Acosta can thank pop star Katy Perry for helping her win a crown at the statewide Miss Junior Pre-Teen Seattle Pageant.

Well, not directly, but indirectly.

Elyssa, 8, wanted to compete in the contest, but her mom, Emily, wasn’t sold on the idea. But since they were going to Perry’s concert at the Tacoma Dome anyway, they decided to stop in Seattle to find out about it.

Because of the cost to enter, $620, mom still wasn’t sold on the idea. But Elyssa said she would raise the money.

And she did.

She went to businesses in Arlington and Darrington and raised it all through small donations; the biggest being from the Darrington IGA for $75.

“I was not going to pay for it,” Acosta said. “But she’s not your normal eightyear-old. She’s outgoing. I was shy” at that age.

Another impressive feat, her mom said, is that Elyssa only had three weeks to do it.

Elyssa won the pre-teen division at the contest, which took place at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien. There

were 30 girls in her classification.

In the contest, Elyssa faced an interview in front of three judges. She also modeled a formal dress they found online and casual wear, which was an outfit her aunt brought back from Mexico.

Acosta said the judges were impressed with Elyssa’s poise, personality and inner confidence.

“That’s one of the reasons we let her do it,” Acosta said, explaining what was “inside” was more important than looks in the competition.

Elyssa has played some recitals on piano and done some ballet, but, “She’s never done anything like this before,” Acosta said.

“Nothing phases her. She has confidence within her,” Acosta added.

The Miss Teen Seattle Pageant program is designed to develop selfconfidence, build friendships, and deliver an experience to be remembered by each contestant as well as the friends and family.

The winners of each of four age division will receive a three-foot trophy, official tiara, satin banner and an expense-paid trip to the 2015 National Pageant Competition in Orlando, Fla.

were Hansen’s claims that he had up to 20,000 rounds of ammunition stored at home.

Hansen was arrested for investigation of two counts of first-degree assault with a

weapon and three counts of drive-by-shooting.

Hansen allegedly said his cabinet business had failed, he has a vascular disease and one of his legs must be

amputated soon, and his wife had sent him an upsetting text message earlier in the day.

Hansen told detectives he then started drinking.

EVERETT — A Lake Stevens man suspected of a shooting rampage that spanned three cities reportedly told police he wanted to die because of his failing health and an impending foreclosure on his home.

“I wish I were dead. Your guys aren’t very good shots,” Hans Hansen allegedly told detectives at the hospital.

A police affidavit filed Oct. 20 in Everett District Court gives insight into the Oct. 15 shooting spree.

Detectives say Hansen confessed to opening fire on the Granite Falls and Lake Stevens police departments and later exchanging gunfire with Marysville officers in hopes that police would kill him, the affidavit says.

Marysville police Sgt. Jim Maple was struck in the leg by shrapnel during the melee. He has since been released from the hospital.

Hansen, 43, was shot in the head, with the bullet not penetrating his skull. The scalp wound bled heavily.

Hansen was convinced he was dying so he surrendered to police, detectives wrote.

Deputy prosecutor Ed
