The Fly-In opens on July 9 and the street fair on July 10, both running through the weekend. We are so blessed to live and play in a town with great parks, trails and a walkable downtown core.

Pedal, paddle puff made easier for all

This year’s Arlington Fourth of July celebration kicks off with the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, with a start and finish at Haller Park. “This year, the event is going to raise money to help build a ‘Splash Pad’ right here at Haller Park,” event organizer Devin Brossard said. Brossard explained that the “Splash Pad” will be an automated water playground for all ages, similar to the Spray Park in Marysville. Registration begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, July 4, and the triathlon begins at 10 a.m. Brossard acknowledged that the triathlon has typically been a smaller event, but he hopes to see that change. “This year, we’re changing the race, so that anyone can participate,” Brossard said. “Usually, the paddle portion of the race is limited to those with kayaks and canoes. This year, anyone with a flotation device and File Photo a life jacket can participate.” Triathlon participants ride The runners will leave Haller Park, and

do a 2-mile run/walk out-andback on the Centennial Trail, after which the bikes will be released, to ride 5.8 miles along State Route 530 to Jordan Road, before they meet the paddlers at Jim Creek. From there, competitors will hop onto their kayaks, canoes, SUP boards, inner-tubes or other flotation devices, and head six miles down the Stillaguamish River back to Haller Park. The total distance is 15.8 miles. “It’s like a mini-triathlon,” Brossard said. The race hosts five categories: Family, Local, Open, Iron Woman and Iron Man. “The Iron Man and Iron Woman racers compete in all three legs,” Brossard said. “Those who register in the other categories compete as a team, and tap hands with other racers at each leg of the course.” It is not necessary to preregister. However, registering before the day of the race will ensure that the participant gets a T-shirt. Rules, regulations and registration forms can be retrieved online at www. pedalpaddlepuff.com. The cost is $30 for individuals and $60 for teams, with a discount of $10 available at the website.

Fantastic ‘Old-Fashioned Fourth’ frivolity back After its successful debut last year, the “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will be making its return to downtown Arlington on Saturday, July 4, albeit with a host of new features and activities. Last year’s event saw the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce bringing in half a dozen food vendors to serve the public during a day when all of the restaurants and other businesses along Olympic Avenue are closed. This year’s “Old-Fashioned Fourth” will offer not only Kettle Korn, snow cones, ice cream, hot dogs, pizza and other carnival food, but also face-painting, a live brass quintet performance, a wading pool for making giant soap bubbles, and an assortment of games. Legion Park will host the returning “Kids Carnival” from noon to 4 p.m., which should give those in the Kiddies Parade enough time to get started at 4:30 p.m. Stacie Roark, managing director of the chamber, explained that the free games for children will include traditional activities such as knocking down pins with balls, pingpong, ring-tossing and a bean-bag toss. While T-shirts and baked goods will not be available, chamber members will be selling other Fourth of July-themed items, including pinwheels at the gazebo, where they’ll also be selling tickets for the bouncy house and pony rides.

Longtime retired firefighters to be honored during parade Harold Smith and Doug Schmidt, the grand marshals of this year’s Fourth of July Grand Parade, began their fire service careers in Arlington in the 1970s. They can remember when the Cascade Valley Hospital handled emergency medical service calls for almost all of North Snohomish County, before the growth of the county and the demands of their call volumes overtook the hospital’s ability to serve the area. Smith and Schmidt spent most of their time in the Arlington Fire Department as volunteers, and became emergency medical technicians long before it was routine for firefighters to be dual-certified as paramedics

Doug Schmidt

as well. Schmidt credited Smith with roping him and a number of other friends, family and neighbors into the fire service and EMS, to the point that the ambulances were run practically out of Smith’s house. “It was neighbors helping neighbors,” Schmidt said. “The ones who didn’t already live in Arlington, I encouraged to become part of the community,” Smith said. “We

have a great system now, but it didn’t happen overnight.” Indeed, Smith and Schmidt were among the first to attend EMT classes in Everett, back when they had a 30 percent failure rate. “Not everybody can do it,” Schmidt said. “But when you see the difference that you can make, it really makes it feel worthwhile.” “The longer I stuck with it, the more it grew on me,” Smith chuckled. This move has proved prescient, as the fire department’s service priorities have changed to the point that both men joked that it could be called “the EMS department” instead. Smith estimated that EMS accounts for 85 percent of the department’s calls, “with a little on

the fire side,” while Schmidt noted that the types of cuttingedge training that were available in the area, especially in the late 1970s and early ‘80s, kept Arlington on the forefront of the EMT field. “We had fewer calls back in the day, but the ones we did get were major,” Smith said. “Our calls might not be as dramatic now, but we receive a much greater number of

them. The few fires we do get anymore are over-dramatized by the media, but we still get plenty of lifeor-death calls, like heart attacks.” Although the fire service and EMS became such a part of both men’s lives that many residents used to call Smith’s wife instead of 911, they agreed that the time was right for them to retire, in no small part because of their families. “I was always on call,” Smith said. “Our spouses put up with it, but after a while, it becomes your life. It gets harder and harder to retire,

because you come to depend on each other like family.” “At the same time, you have to know when to say when,” Schmidt said. “It’s nice to know I won’t have to leave in the middle of dinner on Thanksgiving or Christmas anymore.” Smith and Schmidt agreed they were honored to be named grand marshals. “It feels kind of weird,” Schmidt chuckled. “This is our town,” Smith said. “The people we served were our family and friends. We have a connection to them.”

Arlington 4th ends with a bang arrive early. “We usually get several hundred people parked in the lots and on the sides of the surrounding streets, so they can set up their chairs and watch,” club member Paul Ellis said. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce used to sponsor the event, “The chamber wanted to focus on other priorities, and the fireworks show is a great way for Rotary to thank the community for supporting our Duck Dash,” Ellis said.

Duck Dash makes a splash, helps kids with scholarships The annual Great Stilly Duck Dash is celebrating its 27th year with a splash. Every year, the Rotary Club of Arlington raises funds through the Duck Dash to support local causes, and this year $50,000 will go toward a “Splash Pad” automated water playground at Haller Park, which is estimated to cost up to $450,000. The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians has pledged matching funds for up to $50,000 of Duck Dash ticket sales to fund the Splash Pad, which is set to be completed in two multi-year phases, with the first phase aiming to break ground in July of 2016. Rotary has set a goal of $102,000 for ticket sales, so that it

can continue to support other community organizations and activities. Last year, the Duck Dash raised “A Buck A Duck” to support Oso slide victims, totaling $16,432, while in 2013, Rotary raised

more than $150,000 to build the adventure playground at Haller Park. Rotary regularly supports the Boys & Girls Club, Cocoon House, Kids’ Kloset, local food banks, the Boy Scouts and the Stillaguamish

Music, food, vendors, kids events part of Arlington Street Fair The 25th annual Arlington Street Fair returns to historic downtown on Olympic Avenue July 10-12 even “bigger and better,” event organizer Kathleen Shalan said. Family fun can be had by listening to Music in Park, which will take place all three days with a variety of musicians and bands. Picnic tables and bleachers will be open at Legion Park for the event. “More than one hundred local vendors will be set up on the street,” Shalan said. “This year there will be a lot of vintage furniture booths, which is all the rage — jewelry, homemade textiles, and pallet art, and many local artisans with a wide variety.” Kids activities can

be found throughout the booths, Shalan added. Meanwhile, Friday, July 10, will start the Arlington Idol contest at Legion Park at 2 p.m. “All ages can participate and there will be cash prizes in different age groups,” Shalan said. Sign ups will be prior to the event. The Arlington Arts Council will also do free face painting in front of City Hall. Elephant ears, cotton candy and kettle corn are among the foods that will be sold during the street fair. “The downtown businesses have joined in to provide Arlington a family fun, good time, and do appreciate the support of the local community,” Shalan said.
