Marysville, Arlington and Tulalip were all worried about Fourth of July fireworks and dry weather conditions – and that was before two arsonists tossed flares from their vehicle, causing about 10 brush fires along I-5 June 30.

fires can get out of control,” he said.

“We’re asking residents to do the right thing and find another way to celebrate the Fourth.”

He added the City Council could look at adding a clause in its fireworks law to allow an emergency fireworks ban in the future when SEE FIRE, PAGE 2

Neighbors map out disaster preparedness

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – When Marshall Parker heard about the danger of more oil trains coming through town, he worried about his safety and that of his neighbors.

Instead of just worrying, he decided to do something about it. He contacted Diana Rose, emergency management officer with

the city, and started the first Map Your Neighborhood community.

The goal is to get neighbors to work together in case of disaster because it could take days for emergency responders to help.

Waterfront:

Arlington and Marysville both are asking residents not to set off personal fireworks this year because of fire danger. Likewise, the Tulalip Tribes board of directors did not plan to ban fireworks, but Chairman Mel Sheldon was drafting a safety message.

“This is truly why we are emphasizing no fireworks this Fourth of July,” Marysville Fire Marshal Tom Maloney said. “There’s no safe and sane firework this year. It’s just too dry. Watching a professional fireworks show is the safest way to celebrate.”

Mayor Jon Nehring agreed.

“We’ve seen how quickly these

age.

Parker hosted the 90-minute meeting where the neighbors learned the 9-Step Neighborhood Response Plan. They identified skills that neighbors have, such as a doctor or nurse. They identified who has supplies, such as chainsaws or generators that could be valuable in a disaster. They also mapped where natural gas meters and propane tanks are so they can be shut off quickly to reduce the threat of fire. Also, a list is made for specific needs of neighbors, such as for the elderly or disabled.

A sidelight of the program is it builds stronger communities and improves quality of life.

“I’ve lived here for years, and now everybody waves and smiles,” Parker said.

Rose is looking for more residents who want to help their neighbors “Get Emergency Action Ready.”

The city can’t force folks to do it, so she likes someone in the neighborhood to take the initiative, like Parker did. That person would put signs up and go door to door to try to get the area involved.

Rose met with Parker’s neighborhood in January. About 24 people showed up. They were concerned because a tree came down during a storm in November, and it blocked the only road out of the neighborhood. Neighbors ended up cutting up the tree themselves because they didn’t want to wait for help from the city.

“It wasn’t life-threatening” but it got them thinking about what they would do if there was a fire or a train derailment, Rose said.

When an area signs up for the GEAR training, Rose comes out and shows a DVD on disaster preparedness. A big map is made and neighbors talk about their skill sets. “People actually meet each other,” Rose said. They find out they live next to paramedics and certified nursing assistants. They

similar dry conditions exist.

Last year, crews responded to 27 brush fires or miscellaneous fires around the Marysville; this year, they’ve already battled 55, halfway through the year.

“If even a single ember from fireworks gets into bark or up into the soffits of a house, it can ignite and spread incredibly quickly,” interim Marysville Fire Chief Martin McFalls said.

Arlington has the same concerns. “Arlington has been putting out information asking our residents to forego using fireworks this year due to the extreme dry conditions,” Mayor Barbara Tolbert said.

Arlington Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman is encouraging residents to attend the big Fireworks Show at the Boys and Girls Club in town.

“I do not anticipate shutting that down,” he said July 1. “We want people to go to that rather than having their own. We will have the fire department on scene.” Stedman said he has been advocating the City Council for a ban for five years, and because of the dry conditions the council has shown more interest in it this year.

Both cities have had their legal departments looking into emergency bans.

Stedman said that probably wouldn’t be a good idea anyway because more people would just go to the reservation and buy illegal fireworks, which are even more dangerous. He said his police department isn’t big enough to enforce an outright ban, and if they can’t enforce it then police wouldn’t be doing their job.

Stedman said the department has a good relationship with Homeowners Associations in town, and is asking them to contact their members asking that

Rose said even she has a hard time keeping her kits up to date, such as making sure fresh batteries are cycled in before they go bad. Also, don’t forget items for your pets. “Every time I dig into it I think I should have more,” she said. “But I already have more flashlights than any human should have.”

Mapping your neighborhood won’t guarantee nothing bad will happen in an emergency.

“It will get people talking about what needs to happen,” she said.

“But it isn’t going to save everybody.” Parker’s effort focused on people who lived on 38th Drive, about 24 homes. But there are several other streets in that neighborhood, with about 100 homes, and he’d like to get them involved, too.

At their neighborhood meeting, they found out one neighbor had been in the military. The command post will be at his house.

“You find out who you can count on in an emergency,” Parker said.

“And you find out who does not want to get involved.”

find out one person is a licensed child care provider, so that person and a grandma can keep an eye on the children to keep them safe, while others do different jobs.

They find out one person is a camping enthusiast and has enough gear to help people for days, Rose added.

Houses are identified, along with a list of names and phone numbers.

“Immediate rescue is not going to happen,” Rose said. “That’s not realistic. We need to get that into everybody’s head.”

She said the program helps get conversations started. In this case, the neighborhood decided it needs another access road. So it is looking into seeing how that could be accomplished.

One thing that is good to find out is if anyone in the neighborhood has a ham radio. Rose said the area found out during the Marysville-Pilchuck shooting and when the Skagit bridge went out that cell phones don’t work and land lines are too busy. Parker said using text messaging and having a contact person out of state are smarter ways to go.

“I’m not trying to scare anyone, but people need to take that step,” and be prepared, Rose said.

She said people should have

they not shoot off fireworks this year.

He agreed saving them for New Year’s Eve may be an option.

“Just not right now,” he said.

Stedman said he hopes people do the safe thing. Events such as the huge fire in Wenatchee and the I-5 fires locally awareness is high.

“But some people don’t get it,” he said, “especially when they get alcohol in them.”

On the city’s website, it says: “Statewide, the number of reported brush, grass and wild land fires is already 68 percent higher than a normal year… We expect this year to be one of the worst in recent history and urge our citizens to use extreme caution or not use fireworks at all… We strongly urge our citizens not to discharge fireworks during this very dry year. The potential for a fire is just too great.”

As for the arsonists, the Washington State Patrol was looking for two men in their 50s with light-colored hair. They were in a Hyundai Sonata. Anyone with information is asked to call 9-1-1.

Both directions of I-5 were backed up because of sometimes heavy smoke. A number of minor vehicle accidents occurred.

Every Marysville fire rig was deployed at one time, Maloney said. Fires were put out within in hour, but flare-ups continued in the afternoon.

Earlier, a semi truck with a 300-gallon fuel tank caught fire at Donna’s Truck Stop on 116th.

Firefighters from Fire District 17 were on scene at one of the blazes, on the northbound offramp at Fourth Street going into Marysville. Flames shot up as high as 20 feet at times on some of the trees before firefighters arrived.

Gov. Jay Insee joined in the effort late July 1, declaring an emergency in every county in the state and asking people to attend public fireworks shows rather than setting off their own.

Going underground at railroad tracks at Grove

“All of the fire equipment is on this side of the track. It’s a public safety issue.”

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — A bicyclist has died after being struck by a car in Marysville on June 17.

He was identified June 30 as Joseph R. Misiuda, 60, of Marysville.

He died June 23 of head injuries, according to the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Police believe Misiuda lost control of his bike and fell into traffic along Sunnyside Boulevard. He was wearing a helmet.

The driver who struck him, a 38-year-old Marysville woman, is not expected to face any charges, police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said.

“This was a tragic accident that occurred through no fault of the driver,” he said.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, left, talks to U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen at the railroad tracks at Grove. for at-grade railroad crossing improvements nationwide. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Public Utility District director Kevin Neilsen made a pitch for one June 29.

They toured a few of the 17 train crossings in Marysville. They explained

that over- or under-crossings at 4th would cost $100 million because roads would need to be built up and businesses bought out.

At 88th it would be $160 million because they are too close to the tracks.

“There are very few options for it,” Nehring said.

However, if a box culvert was put in under the tracks on Grove, the cost would only be $15 million.

A cross there also makes sense, Nehring said, because “all of the fire equipment is on this side of the track. It’s a public-safety issue.”

Larsen’s bill is for $300

million each of five years.

He said the bill has a “good chance” of passage, especially with support from big northern-tier states like Illinois and New York, because they also have problems with railways.

Larsen said his measure would be paid for with a

federal gas tax increase.

“The House and Senate are reluctant to increase the gas tax, but we are behind the curve in funding,” Larsen said.

He added that the railroad does pitch in money for some projects, bit it’s piecemeal.

Nehring pointed out a Puget Sound Regional Council show trains caused more delays and cost the town more money than any other community in the state because of the lack of options for motorists in getting around tracks.

“Local officials have told me that improving at-grade crossings is critical for safety and traffic flow. Rail incidents are most likely to happen at these crossings, and they can lead to traffic congestion that delays people on their way to work, goods on their way to market, and public safety vehicles on their way to save lives. As our rail lines carry more goods, including crude oil, I am working to improve community safety,” Larsen said.

MARYSVILLE – The city has a lot to celebrate this Fourth of July.

Not only is it celebrating our nation’s independence, it also can celebrate its future independence from the railroad tying up traffic.

This week, the city learned that $139.3 million in the state transportation budget is earmarked for three major highway projects locally. An 11.9 cent a gallon tax increase would help pay for the projects.

It also learned that U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen of Arlington has introduced a bill that could pave the way to tunnel under the railroad tracks on Grove Street.

The state budget includes $50 million to rebuild the interchange of Interstate 5 and Highway 529 in Marysville. That route would mean traffic could leave and get into town without dealing with train tracks.

The budget includes another $50 million to reconstruct the I-5 interchanges at 88th Street and 116th St. NE in Marysville so they can handle more traffic smoother. The third project is $39.3 million to widen Highway 531 to four lanes near the Arlington Airport.

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

IN OUR VIEW

Only you can prevent Fourth fires

Today is the Fourth of July, the only legal day to set off fireworks this summer in Marysville and Arlington.

If you’ve been setting them off before today you should have been fined. That’s the law. People who break the law are why the Marysville City Council was close to banning fireworks. They get complaints about people drinking alcohol and setting off fireworks dangerously. People are injured. Litter is left everywhere.

Pets get scared, and even combat veterans can have issues, as it can sound like a war zone.

Illegal fireworks are a problem because of sales at the nearby Tulalip and Stillaguamish reservations. It must be noted here, though, that many safe and sane fireworks also can go up in the air and make loud noises.

The biggest danger this year, of course, is how dry it is. The arsonists who threw flares out along Interstate 5 this week showed us just how dry. At least 10 fires were started, and it took firefighters all afternoon to put out the blazes and be on the watch for hot spots to flare up.

The fire department doesn’t want fireworks. They are busy enough most years, but this year there is a concern that more than just some grassy areas will catch fire.

“This is truly why we are emphasizing no fireworks this Fourth of July,” Fire Marshal Tom Maloney said.

The police department isn’t a fan of fireworks either.

They have a hard time catching culprits because they have to see them in the act to cite them. Plus, there are so many complaints, it is hard for them to get to every call in time.

We support personal fireworks, but it must be done responsibly. If a bunch of fires occur as a result of fireworks there is no doubt that the council will ban their use in the future. The only reason they didn’t do it this year is because an online survey showed more people in favor of fireworks than against. But the difference was slight.

Marysville lights up every Fourth. It is spectacular to see. To make sure we get to continue to celebrate our freedom in this way, please use your fireworks responsibly.

In Arlington and Marysville, especially if you’ve already purchased your fireworks, a good solution might be to hang on to them until New Year’s Eve. Surely that will be a safer time to set them off.

Busy time of year for Arlington Now that summer is here, we are getting ready for all the wonderful activities that happen in Arlington during this special season.

Our community teams up to throw an amazing combination of activities, events and celebrations that I hope you will join me at.

Arlington has something to discover every week: the trails, downtown shops, local vegetables and flowers from the farms near Island Crossing, or Music in the Park on a warm August evening. We are living in a vibrant and growing community.

During the last four years we have developed a variety of tools to keep you informed. The city’s website, www.arlingtonwa. gov, updated with the latest information, on events and city happenings.

You can sign up for our weekly e-newsletter (sub-

scribe at our website), and we will send it to your email every Friday, as well as regular updates on our Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/ArlingtonWA and www.facebook. c om / Arl i ng ton C r i me PreventionLeague and our Twitter feed (www.twitter. com/ArlingtonWA).

W e want to make it easy for you to access information on Tolbert your city.

As we continue our investment in a strong, vibrant, safe community, we at the city want to hear from you on ways to make our city even better.

In the past four years we have completed public restrooms in Legion Park, worked with the county to finish the gaps in the

Centennial trail and seen the increase in activity of people visiting our city by foot and bike. We’ve streamline processes for businesses to develop in Arlington, saw an expansion of more than 400 manufacturing jobs, and have worked hard to advocate for the state to invest in Highway 531. Our business license data shows that Arlington has grown businesses with 828 in 2012 to 865 by 2014.

Our staff works hard with owners of buildings to ensure we do all we can to help them attract new tenants to the Arlington business community. Current figures show the north part of Snohomish County including Arlington has some of the lowest building vacancies countywide; with 3.4 percent vacancy rate. Rates to the south in Everett are higher at 5.3 percent, reaching 7.7 percent for the Edmonds/

Lynnwood areas.

This last year we made great progress working with all of you to redesign our public safety efforts to a better community-driven policing system. The addition of many active citizens helping be the eyes and ears for our police staff is making us much more effective in targeting crime areas. Our latest edition of the pooch patrol encourages dog walkers to report what’s going on in their travels of the community while exercising their pets.

It takes effort from all of our citizens to keep our community of Arlington a vibrant and interesting place to live and work. It’s our city; our future is whatever we make of it. Let’s make it bright.

Mayor Barbara Tolbert writes a column for the city of Arlington that appears periodically in the newspaper.

7 real estate apps for homebuyers Who thinks of these things? I just discovered there’s a Bubble Wrap App. And it does exactly what you think it would: when you tap on the “bubbles” covering your screen, it simulates the snap, crackle and pop of bubble wrap.

There’s also an app that turns your phone into a Whoopee-cushion, and one called “Annoy a Teen” that promises to clear the area of teens by emitting a high-pitched tone heard only by people with young ears.

Um ... Would you like some useful apps instead?

Perhaps a few that could help you with the homebuying process? (This is, after all, a column about real estate).

Here are seven great real estate apps ... completely devoid of offensive and/or annoying sounds: •Wikihood: What’s the most important thing you should consider when buying a home? Location, location, location. That’s why this is such a great app. Wikihood tells you everything you want to know about a specific neighborhood, plus a whole lot of other details you could probably do without, but will still find interesting, such as the his-

tory of the area and what important people lived there.

You can Woodward also get a virtual tour of the area you’re considering.

•AroundMe: Similar to Wikihood, AroundMe gives you a snapshot of the neighborhood you’re considering. But where Wikihood displays interesting Wikipedia articles about a certain area, AroundMe gives you information you need quickly, like where you can find the closest gas station, bank, coffee shop, etc. Knowing what amenities are readily available to a neighborhood can help you narrow your search.

•HomeSnap: Ever drive by a home that’s for sale and wish you could see what it looks like inside?

Short of walking up to the door and asking for an impromptu tour, you’ve been out of luck. But now there are several apps that allow you to do just that: get a peek of the house while standing outside.

Just point your phone toward the home you’re interested in, snap a pic-

ture, and HomeSnap will show you pictures of the interior and tell you the details you want to know, such as the selling price and selling history.

•realtor.com: While there are many real estate apps out there that pull data from the Multiple Listing Service (think: Trulia, Redfin, Zillow), none are as accurate as realtor.com. That’s because 90 percent of its listings are refreshed every 15 minutes, making it an upto-date resource for your home search. (By the way, your local real estate websites also refresh their data every 15 minutes.) Many people think “Zillow” first, but they often leave listings up for weeks after they’ve sold or gone pending, which can lead to frustration when you think you’ve found your perfect home only to find out it’s already taken.

•The Dictionary of Real Estate Terms: Want to know the difference between an easement and an encumbrance, or between earnest money and an escalation clause?

There’s an app for that.

Filled with more than 3,000 words and phrases (and their definitions), The Dictionary of Real Estate

Terms will give you a guide through all the foreign terminology and help to make the home-buying process just a little less mind-boggling.

•Photo Measures: While touring homes with clients, I often hear one of my clients ask the other things like, “Do you think our couch will fit on that wall?” or “Is that enough space for the china hutch?”

Photo Measures takes the guesswork out of all that.

Snap a photo of a room, or even just an object, and Photo Measures will give you its exact dimensions.

•Mortgage Calculator Plus: This app is simple to use and will give you all the pertinent information you need: a calculation of your mortgage payment, taxes, personal mortgage insurance, and even the impact extra payments could make on your loan amount over time.

Those are the only seven apps available to home buyers at the moment. But as soon as they come up with more, you can be sure I’ll report on it here.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Block Watch keeps fighting

I am leading this volunteer project to clean up the wooded area in the NW corner of the Marshall Elementary school.

The area in the woods has been an on-going problem area for years.

The overgrown blackberries, tall grass and tunnels in the weeds and woods make it an attractive area to hide as well as doing illegal drugs, sex and booze partying.

A couple of weeks ago, there was a small camp fire in the woods and left burning. Because of the density of weeds and vines, grasses etc., it is a dangerous place for things to occur.

Alcohol, and illegal drugs/ needles have been found scattered in the same area.

Much to close to the school itself on its own property of the school no less.

Beer cans, broken bottles and other trash is just left.

Again, the bushes, small trees and weeds make the area invisible to the houses and apartments adjacent to the property. One person suggested cutting down the tall trees, which is not the answer.

Our Block Watch has had it the riff-raff that comes into the area. We call 911 and the problem disappears for a week or two and then it falls back. We have been maintaining a great relationship with the principal of the school (Mrs. Kelly Sheward), and we were able to drive out a drug dealer across the street from the

school.

We do not put up with that.

Working together has helped, but clearing the area will help.

Graffiti was a problem until the school began leaving the lights on almost all of the time. Our Block Watch has taken other precautionary steps and remaining vigilant.

Build houses to aid homeless

Inspirational work by the students who built two houses for the homeless. (‘Students build tiny homes for Seattle homeless’ by Kirk Boxleitner, Marysville Globe, June 20, 2015) Imagine what could be done if we followed their example, 13 students, two houses. There would be no homeless problem. They illustrate the Dali Lama’s words: “Compassion is not enough, you must take action.” We can call our elected Representatives and tell them it is time to take action like these students.

It is time to put an end to hunger and homelessness.

Kiwanis Auction story a mess

I’m the chair of the Arlington Kiwanis Auction held each year at Haller Park in Arlington. I’m not sure who wrote the piece in the 4th of July insert but they did not proofread it. The first sentence says,

“The Arlington Kiwanis Club Scholarship Auction returns to the Arlington Fly-In at Haller Park July 4.”

We have nothing to do with the Fly-In and this is not even the weekend for the Fly-In. Going further in the small write-up it states, “Things being auctioned off include a stay at Palm Springs, a stay with airfare to Leavenworth...etc.

Airfare to Leavenworth... you have to be kidding, and Palm Springs was the trip that this included.

I’m sorry but your paper missed the mark on report-

ing the right facts for our auction, and it is a shame.

Also the paper is named Arlington Times but full of nothing but Marysville news!

Arlington hospital has been wonderful

It has been our families’ experience that the people of Arlington are extremely fortunate to receive such excellent medical care within our own home community.

Over the past three

months our family has been facing Stage 4 cancer with the outstanding doctors and staff at Cascade Valley Hospital and their partners in the Cascade Skagit Health Care Alliance.

Those two organizations, in partnership with the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, have provided a superior level of care such as that seen in the world-renowned larger cancer care facilities in Seattle.

As our son, husband and father makes his final journey, it is comforting to know he has received care equivalent to other larger

cancer-care facilities without leaving home and with the added benefit of being in a smaller and perhaps more-personalized system.

We are particularly grateful to Dr. Kiarash Kujouri and his staff at Cascade for their expertise and compassionate care. Kojouri’s highly professional, practiced and yet gentle manner was a support to our entire family and has left us knowing everything that could be done, was done. We are indeed fortunate to live in this community.

Senate Republicans big winners in session so far The session that would never end is still not over.

For six months – officially 168 days and counting on Thursday – the state’s 147 citizen legislators and chief executive have been passing policies and playing politics.

They’re not done yet. The current special session, their third, extends through the end of July and they may need every day to achieve détente in outstanding conflicts on education and transportation bills.

A lasting impression of the 2015 Legislature will be the dominance of Senate Republicans.

At times they seemed to impose their will on the legislating process and impede the desired path of the majority Democrats in the House and Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee.

Credit Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville.

Under his leadership; the 26-member caucus displayed a Cornfield rigid discipline and it paid off as its factions of conservatives and moderates can claim an important political victory or three this session.

They beat down a capital gains tax and beat back a low-carbon fuel standard. They warded off cap-and-trade and minimum wage.

They approved a gas tax hike — more than once — and many of their members are smiling about it.

And the nation knows Senate Republicans drafted the unprece-

dented cut in tuition for students at public colleges and universities.

It’s hard to see how it could have turned out much better for them.

And it’s not so hard to see why it’s been a rough year for House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle.

Yes, the state is putting billions of new dollars into education, child care, early learning, mental health, human services and parks. Teachers and state workers are getting raises. Tuition is going down at two- and four-year colleges. And the state is poised to put a wad of dough into public transportation.

That’s a heck of a Democratic agenda but for some Democrats it still feels a bit like defeat.

And it’s for all the reasons Senate Republicans are smiling.

House Democrats couldn’t push across a minimum-wage increase, paid leave or capital gains tax.

In one of the bluest and greenest states, they failed to pass any significant climate change bill.

In the end, they couldn’t boost the cigarette tax to fund cancer research.

One could say House Democrats may have done better had they not overreached to start.

By launching big-time policy initiatives then not voting on many of them, they didn’t force the hand of Senate Republicans.

What might negotiations have gone like had House Democrats ever passed a capital gains tax or any tax increase at all? They said it wouldn’t have mattered. GOP leaders contended Chopp never had the votes in the caucus and the speaker never proved them

wrong.

The silver lining may be the 2016 elections.

Democrats can focus on the additional services for Washington’s children and seniors, disabled and poor, uninsured and mentally ill. They can talk about rising teacher pay, lower tuition and maybe the timing for new highways, expanded bus service and more bike paths.

Most voters will be pleased to hear all that. They will have forgotten this epic session ever occurred.

Unless it’s not over.

TULALIP — Detectives have arrested a Marysville suspect in the June 19 killing of a man whose body was found on the Tulalip Reservation.

Steven D. Steadman, 58, was shot in the head over pain medication, the arrest report says. The suspect, Michael Stowell, 30, was booked into the Snohomish County Jail June 25 for investigation of second-degree murder.

Everett District Court Judge Anthony Howard ordered Stowell held on $1 million bail.

A passerby called 9-1-1 after finding a man down an embankment along 14th Avenue NE. Detectives

M’ville seeks downtown catalyst

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Like a motorcycle rider, downtown Marysville needs a “kick start” to get going.

Because it received status as a “distressed community,” the city has received $400,000 in grants from the Environmental Protection Agency to clean up and revitalize its quarter-mile of waterfront and downtown area of about eight blocks.

Officials met in a day-long meeting June 26 to discuss how to make it happen.

“We had to pick an area to focus on – a hub,” Mayor Jon Nehring said.

He said the goal is to have 10 things to do in areas connected by walkways. On one end could be the Spray Park, with possible music at Comeford Park. On the other end would be the water, with maybe kayak rentals. There might be a park where people could play basketball. In-between there could be some multi-story housing, like apartments or condominiums. But on the first floor of those highrises would be retail stores or boutiques. An EPA consultant envisions a brewery or wine bar. Grocery and retail stores are needed, along with

“We want to make downtown more walkable with more activity.”

Jon Nehring, Marysville mayor

some interesting restaurants, like the new Mod Pizza that is planned next to the new bank at Fourth and State.

Nehring would like to see it all tie together with the new Qwuloolt Trail about a half-mile to the east so folks could enjoy biking, too.

“We want to make downtown more walkable with more activity,” he said.

Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima said the EPA consultants weren’t there to change what the city wanted to do, but to help them advance their plans.

The EPA said the city already has done some great things, such as new downtown construction and the Spray Park.

“Now don’t walk away,” they said, according to Hirashima. “Find diverse activities to go on there year-round. And focus on that area, instead of spreading them out.”

The consultants gave examples like moving the farmers’ market there, and also possibly a regional ice skate park.

“It needs to become, ‘The Talk,’” she said.

As for the waterfront, Hirashima said ideas included expanding the public park where the boat launch is on the west side of State. On the east side, the vision is for some mixeduse private development, such as a multi-story building with shops on the first floor and condos above.

In response to a Globe survey in last week’s paper on the same subject, Jason and Annette Diamond said their ideal waterfront and downtown would include: upscale restaurants, entertainment, museums, piers, water park and an indoor amusement park. They already enjoy Cristiano’s, Regal Cinemas and the Centennial Trail.

They say Ebey Waterfront Park is a nice start. Their only concern about downtown development is that over- or under-passes are needed for the train tracks.

Another reader said before making waterfront improvements the city should put in more sidewalks and street lights. He said he’s all for sprucing up Marysville, but safety concerns need to be addressed first.

‘Road to Recovery’ driver speaks at Relay

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Tulalip Relay For Life not only showed its support for those who have fought cancer, but also offered avenues for others to contribute year round.

Relay’s return to Asbery Field saw its 23 teams of 218 participants raise $65,592.85 and counting on June 27-28 — down from last year’s total of roughly $84,000 — and that Saturday saw Marysville’s Leroy Erxleben share how he became a “Road to Recovery” driver for the American Cancer Society.

Erxleben’s wife was diagnosed with dementia five years ago, and it became so bad two years ago that he put her in a nursing home.

This left Erxleben lonely, so when he saw an ad in the paper a year and a half ago, he called up the ACS’s Jerri Wood, a fellow Marysville resident, to see if he could donate his time and services.

“It’s been very rewarding,” said Erxleben, who recently received a Volunteer of the Month award from the city of

Leroy Erxleben, left, became a ‘Road to Recovery’ driver for the American Cancer Society when he called up the ACS’s Jerri Wood, a fellow Marysville resident, a year and a half ago.

Marysville for his work. “I’ve made many new friends.

“One lady felt better just from being able to talk to me,” he added. “She was very open, and asked if I could be her driver from now on.

We talk about anything, but I always wait for my passengers to bring up what they want to talk about.”

In April and May of this year, Erxleben drove 605 miles to pick up and drop off an estimated 30 cancer patients for trips such as doctors’ appointments, cancer treatments, prescription pickups and even errands such as shopping.

“Some of them, I see once and then never again,” Erxleben said. “Others, like one gentlemen I had, you see a lot. I drove him twelve times, nine days in a row. It gets to you.

“The one lady I told you about, her cancer came back, but she was so optimistic, even though she knew she probably only had a year to live, that you almost never would have known,” he added.

Erxleben has received unsolicited hugs and expressions of thanks from multiple patients, whose plights have reminded him to be more mindful of his own health.

“This one gentlemen had prostate cancer, but he only

I’d better go to the doctor to get myself checked out.’”

Erxleben never could have expected how much the experience would enrich his life.

“It’s not a chore,” Erxleben said. “It’s a privilege. I don’t know what else I could be doing, as a volunteer, that would be more rewarding.”

Historic planes are just one of the attractions of the Arlington Fly-In. Air shows each day delight tens of thousands of fans each year. There are also static displays where children and adults alike can learn about the history of aviation.

Arlington’s July Fourth, Fly-In ready to take off

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON – Every year, Arlington is sky-high with pride and activities with its Frontier Days Fourth of July and Fly-In festivals, which take place this week.

On the Fourth, the Arlington Heights Fire Department, for the 32nd year, will be hosting its Pancake Breakfast. For $5, hungry Independence Day fans can get pancakes, of course, but also eggs and either sausage or strawberries. The breakfast will be from 7-11 a.m. at Haller Park.

The breakfast raises money for the Arlington Firefighters Association.

In previous years the funds have been used to fix equipment, buy a jaws of life, rebuilt the pancake truck and sponsor presents for kids in need at Christmas.

Taking place at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 a.m., also at Haller Park, is the Kiwanis Auction. Proceeds go to Arlington and Lakewood students as scholarships.

Items to be auctioned include a stay in Palm Springs, complete with airfare; a Leavenworth trip; chef-prepared dinners for four and six; gift baskets; desserts; and Angels of the Wind stay and play.

At 10 a.m. the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon takes place at Haller Park. The

paddle part has been made easier so more folks will be able to participate. From noon to 4 p.m. is the Kids Carnival at Legion Park.

The Kiddies Parade starts at 4:30 and the Grand Parade at 5 p.m., both on Olympic Avenue.

The Rotary Duck Dash is at 7:30 at Haller Park with the Fireworks at 9 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club.

Because of fire danger, more people are expected for that show, as city officials are asking people not to shoot off their personal fireworks.

Meanwhile, the Fly-In from July 9-11 will mark the first-time appearances of a number of aircraft and exhibits at the Arlington Airport.

The Commemorative Air Force Red Tail Squadron, America’s tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, is bringing its “Rise Above” Traveling Exhibit mobile theater and World War II P-51C Mustang aircraft to the Pacific Northwest for the first time.

The Mustang will perform in the air show and be available for up-close viewing, even though it’s one of only a few that is still flying. The exhibit is a movie theater playing the 30-minute film “Rise Above” in a climate controlled 53-foot semi trailer, accommodating 30 visitors for each showing.

The 160-degree panoram-

ic screen creates the feeling of being in the cockpit, soaring above the clouds in the signature aircraft of the Tuskegee Airmen in WWII. Audiences will learn what it was like for America’s first black military pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps in the early 1940s, and the obstacles they had to overcome.

Injured ex-power lifter now makes jewelry

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Lizabeth Masonholder used to be a power lifter, squatting as much as 661 pounds.

But now, after a freak accident moving some luggage, she lifts dainty items to make jewelry.

Masonholder, 43, trained and competed in American powerlifting since graduating high school in 1990 — breaking world records along the way until 2004.

In her prime she owned women’s records in the bench press, squat and deadlift. She squatted 661 pounds, bench pressed 412 pounds and 501 pounds in the deadlift.

She traveled around the world to places like France, England and Amsterdam to compete.

She met her husband, Mark, in 2005 when they both competed in the Scottish Highland Games.

They’ve been together for 10 years and been married for two.

Even has her career winded down, lifting was still Masonholder’s life. But it was taken away from her in 2009.

While working at Seatac airport where she huffed luggage from buses that went to cruise ships and back, she suffered a debilitating injury.

She stood to just stretch and heard a “resounding pop” in the middle of her chest. She knew the pop was serious when she began to feel numbness progressively get worse throughout certain parts of her body.

“My left side was almost all dead,” she said.

She had to go into surgery when it was revealed by doctors that she severed her spine. She was paralyzed from the neck down.

“It was scary,” Mark said.

“They told her, you’re going into surgery now.’”

The doctors even hinted she may not be able to walk again.

Depression took over, which worsened as she eventually lost both of her parents.

“They did what they did, and they were really honest,” she said. “But I could focus on the good, or the bad, but it’s not what they would do. They’s tell me to ‘get up and get back to

work.’”

But instead of being bogged down in her circumstances, Masonholder chose to fight and stay active.

She was in a wheelchair for some time, but progressively rehabbed herself through physical therapy to be able to walk and stand for short spurts.

To rehab her dexterity, Masonholder took up painting and other artwork but then eventually found her passion in making jewelry.

“I never wore jewelry, and I was never pretty,” she said.

“It’s a thing in beauty I never knew I had.”

To get into jewelry, she went to the Red Door Beads in Smokey Point to take lessons. They gave her free classes as long as she brought the materials.

She was in luck as she was able to obtain most of those for free. A friend of her dad is a “rocker” and had rocks and minerals.

“But there’s this,” she said about jewelry making. “I

really think it’s a blessing.”

Now, residing in a quiet home near Shoultes Elementary, she devotes most of her time tinkering with jewelry.

“It’s just a lot of technique,” she said. “I’m still kind of learning.”

Originally from Craig, Alaska, where you lived to “only party or get pregnant,” Masonholder said, she was the daughter of a fisherman and a working-class family.

“I had to leave,” she said.

Masonholder was always

the strong one in her family, always being the “bottom of the pyramid.” Her dad was described as a “polar bear” of a man, at 6-foot-6 weighing 400 pounds.

Her strength was discovered when she was a teenager working for American Airlines as a cargo loader.

She tossed a coworker a box and was asked “You ever lift weights?”

After high school, she said she was was working as a bartender and dealing drugs, trying to afford diapers for her only child.

But she tossed her partying ways and her cigarettes to start buying protein for her interest in lifting.

Her zeal in lifting eventually brought her to Demming WA in 1991, to work for Bioplex Nutrition in Bellingham.

Masonholder now shares a house with her husband and his parents and their three dogs in Marysville.

She likes to make “healing stones,” which are medicinal stones believed to have healing powers, among the things she creates.

Her next hurdle is to sell her work somehow.

“I didn’t want to be labeled by my disability,” she said.

“I didn’t want to be broken, and people get stuck in their labels.”

She is a practitioner of homeopathic remedies as well, even using her own healing stones and oils to aid her physical therapy.

Her strides in recovery were miraculous, Mark said.

“She is an amazing person,” Mark said. “It’s a miracle how far she’s come.”

Masonholder has made improvements in her walking stamina, being able to go a mile around her neighborhood.

“I have to watch her and remind her she’s not superwoman,” Mark said.

After-school program closes achievement gap MARYSVILLE – Third- through fifthgraders at Quil Ceda Tulalip and Liberty elementary schools participated in an afterschool program to help close the achievement gap in poverty-impacted schools this year.

And some of that learning will continue this summer.

More than three-quarters of students qualify for free and reduced lunch at the two schools, which also have the lowest test scores in the Marysville School District and some of the lowest in the state. At Quil Ceda, for example, less than 60 percent of students meet reading standards and only about half meet math standards.

Kyle Kinoshita, executive director for learning and teaching at the district, said that needs to change.

“There’s a ton of research that indicates if you can extend learning time for students who have not historically been served well by the school, you will see improvements in their academic performance,” he said.

Funded by a $1.3 million grant, the students learned everything from literacy to music to math and science Monday through Thursday. At 6 p.m., the program wrapped up with dinner before parents picked up their children.

“Beyond the learning that’s taking place, I think there are intangible benefits to pro-

viding a positive experience for the kids,” Kinoshita said. “It’s something productive that our students can do after school and form strong relationships with our adult volunteers.”

The program also is intentional about involving parents. Parent nights give them a chance to observe the learning, ask questions and understand the how learning inside and outside the classroom are connected.

Approximately 25 students at each school joined the program at its launch, with a goal of increasing that to 50 at each site. The grant will fund the initiative for five years.

Partners in the initiative have taken turns providing enrichment activities, and a University of Washington College of Education team will lead sessions focusing on STEM learning Mondays and Thursdays throughout July.

“Learning in STEM fields can open huge new opportunities to students in poverty-impacted environments,” said Andrew Shouse, a UW faculty member who is leading the curriculum design study. “We want to get all kids involved in engaging, realworld, creative learning activities. What we’re learning in Marysville will help us address the lack of access that so many families face. We want all young people to be able to decide their own futures.”

POLICE BRIEFS Officer hit by alleged drunken driver

MARYSVILLE – An officer doing traffic control for a fire along Interstate 5 June 30 was injured when his vehicle was hit by an alleged drunk driver.

The Washington State Patrol officer was transported to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, treated and released.

The Everett man, 33, was southbound on I-5 in the right lane when he reportedly struck the patrol car. He was charged with suspicion of DUI.

Marysville man killed in car wreck

ARLINGTON — A 78-year-old Marysville man was killed June 25 in a crash in Arlington.

The man was in a Nissan pickup that collided with a Dodge Ram. The Dodge driver, a 53-year-old Sedro-Woolley man, was not seriously injured.

The wreck happened just before 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of 197th Street NE and 67th Avenue NE. The road was closed for hours, city spokeswoman Kristin Banfield said.

Bystanders pull man out of river

ARLINGTON — A man was pulled from the Stillaguamish River June 28 and taken by helicopter to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

An update on the man’s condition wasn’t available.

Rescue crews were called just after 6 p.m. to the Blue Stilly Park on 27th Avenue NE. Callers reported a man had been under water for about 15 minutes. It wasn’t clear Sunday who pulled the victim from the river.

Crews performed CPR on the man and reported that he had a pulse by the time they transported him to the medical helicopter.

Man dies fighting brush fire

TULALIP — A fatal fire on the Tulalip Reservation last week has been attributed to outdoor burning that spread into blackberry bushes.

The property owner had been burning vegetation either earlier that day or the night before. Hours later, the wind fanned the hot ashes into a brush fire, the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office says.

The owner, David S. Hagaman, 86, fell down an embankment while fighting the fire with a garden hose, investigators said June 29.

An autopsy determined he died from burns and smoke inhalation. His death was ruled an accident.

“To avoid this becoming just another crafts fair, we’ve really turned our focus onto finding fresh quality produce,” Galde said, adding that event organizers are employing social media, such as the market’s website at www.facebook.com/

MarysvilleFarmersMarket, to continue recruiting vendors both near and far.

“We’re aiming to be allinclusive.”

While event organizers plan to continue the market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday through Oct. 3, Galde did acknowledge that they’ll need ways to beat the heat, standing outdoors in the summer sun and humidity.

MARYSVILLE — The return of the farmers’ market to Marysville was met with an overwhelmingly positive response June 27.

The city hall parking lot was filled with more than 250 shoppers before the event’s 16 vendors were even able to serve them starting at 10 a.m. that Saturday.

By the time 12:30 p.m. rolled around, event organizers estimated they’d seen more than 600 shoppers fil-

ter through, even though they’d only dared hope for 400.

Alexandra Long arrived that morning with 69 pints of blueberries and 75 pints of blackberries from Hayton Farms in Mount Vernon, but they were sold out by noon.

“This was our first market in Marysville, so we didn’t know how fast our selection would go,” Long said. “Since it’s the first farmers’ market in Marysville in a while, we had a rush of folks who

Marysville resident Tami O’Dell was a regular at the farmers’ market back when it was at Comeford Park, and she was delighted to see its return when she just happened to drive by city hall that afternoon.

“We’ve needed this in Marysville,” O’Dell said.

Ted Smith, a farmhand with Clear Valley Farm in Arlington, agreed with this assessment. By noon, he’d already had to go back to the farm to pick up refills.

“Our beets went the fastest, but fresh eggs were pretty popular too,” Smith said. “All our cuts of meat were in demand, but that’s because the folks who come to these farmers’ markets know that they’re getting what we’ve raised on our own farm. If you want to support your local farmers, go to the farmers’ markets.

You simply won’t get any fresher food than that.”

Church restores old creamery

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

After gutting and rebuilding the old creamery building with crews of 10-20 volunteers each weekend, right and below, Christ the King Community Church members Rick Oosterwyk Sr., Don Beckwith, and Joan and Rick Schranck are happy to welcome folks to their new home, above.

unteers have come in and worked until about 5 p.m., while Beckwith and his partner, Max Gangwer, also worked Mondays through Fridays of every week, from the time they got off work until about 9 p.m.

“The sanctuary used to

be a meat locker, so the floor sloped toward a drain,” Beckwith said. “We were already leveling the floor with gypcrete when we got the idea to install in-floor radiant heating. It only costs pennies to heat the building that way.”

ARLINGTON — As far as Pastor Rick Schranck is concerned, the measure of a church is not its facilities, but its congregation.

That’s why he and his parishioners have been content to convene services for Christ the King Community Church at Presidents Elementary for the past 11 years.

However, once an opportunity opened up for them to move into a building of their own, without dipping too much into their coffers, church members threw themselves into the task of making a home for themselves along the recently refurbished 67th Avenue, right next door to Hubb’s Pizza & Pasta.

“We didn’t want to go into debt on any building, because we wanted that money to go toward our missions and other projects, but we always had our eyes open,” Schranck said.

Church member Don Beckwith serves as an inspector for the Snohomish County Fire Marshal, so between that and his father’s work as an architect, he’s well-versed in evaluating the habitability of old buildings. The structure at 21108 67th Ave. NE was originally built as a creamery in the early 1900s, and had previously housed tenants including the Arlington Kickboxing Academy. By the time Beckwith took a look at it on Sept. 7 of last year, it had been foreclosed on and bank-owned for about a year.

“It was in distress,” Beckwith said. “I was intrigued because it was an ugly building. They’d just redone the whole street, so that looked great, but then you had this eyesore of a building. It had more space than I’d thought, though, and the way it was put together lent itself to our needs. The bare bones of the building were good.”

Given that the trussed had been installed more recently than the rest following a fire about 30 years ago, Beckwith concluded that a crew of church volunteers could just gut the interior of the building, taking out 12-foot-tall walls and leaving the shell behind.

The church closed on the property Dec. 22 and began demolition work Dec. 26.

Every Saturday since, until May 10, crews of 10-20 vol-

This required them not only to lay down 2-inchthick insulation and a layer of wire mesh, but also to secure 2,200 feet of hose to 250 anchor nails.

“That’s a lot of work on your knees, which gets to be hard for guys in their sixties like us,” said Rick Oosterwyk Sr., another church volunteer.

While there are still a few areas left to touch up, church members consider their efforts to be well worth it, since they now have a sanctuary that can seat as many as 200 parishioners, complete with a band area and two built-in overhead projectors, as well as an adjoining “cry room” for mothers with babies, three separate kids’ rooms and an apartment for a youth pastor. Those who walk in the front door will even find a coffee area waiting for them.

“We drink coffee before our services,” said Beckwith, who was able to obtain a granite countertop worth $4,000 for free. “Our chairs even have coffee cup holders.” Schranck added: “We could plant the seed of this church wherever we needed, because God would bring it up.”

omestic violence affects every one of us. In Washington State, 43% of women and 28% of men have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lives. It is incredibly prevalent. But you probably already know this.

Awareness about domestic violence has grown significantly over the years. That’s a great thing and it needed to happen.

But we can’t stop there. Now that people are aware, we need them to act and be a part of the solution.

So what can you do?

• Learn about the resources available. Help is out there: free, confidential, 24 hours a day. Anyone can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE for information, support, and to get connected to a local domestic violence program. Contact your local program today and learn about the support available in your neighborhood, so when someone turns to you for help, you’ll be ready.

• If someone tells you they are in an abusive relationship, offer to connect them to a domestic violence advocate at their local program. Advocates can help them learn about the range of options available and plan for how to stay as safe as possible. Stay connected, listen, and don’t judge. People need to know they can talk about abuse and that they will be heard, supported and offered help.

• Because of how prevalent domestic violence is, it can be assumed that in any neighborhood there is someone that is in an abusive relationship. Rather than trying to figure out how to identify who is being abused, put brochures or contact information for the local domestic violence program in common areas in your community.

This allows people to privately and confidentially get help.

It also conveys the important message that this happens to a lot of people and survivors of abuse should not feel alone.

• Take a stand against domestic violence and raise money for domestic violence prevention by participating in the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field. Register today at refusetoabuse5k.org.

It’s my favorite time of the year to live in Marysville.

Not just because of the beautiful weather but because I love music. And the Tulalip Amphitheater brings Seattle-quality concerts to our back door.

Boz Skaggs and Aaron Neville kicked off the summer concert series July 3.

Coming up Wednesday, July 8, is country music’s Hank Williams Jr. When I first started watching music videos on MTV years ago, I remember seeing the one of him and his dad singing “Tear in my Beer.� His dad died when Hank was young, but through electronic imaging they sang the duet together in 1989.

My wife’s favorite song of his is “Family Tradition,� but most of you know his work as the longtime theme of Monday Night Football.

The tribute band Heart to Heart will perform July 17.

That band includes original drummer Mike Derosier and original bassist Steve Fossen. Bob Rivers, the longtime DJ on KJR, is the keyboard player. I saw him

perform with his old band, Spike and the Impalers, at the Taste of Edmonds last summer. That band also is on the show with Heart to Heart, which performs classics such as “Barracuda,� “Magic Man� and “Crazy on You.�

Legendary and smooth R&B artists Boyz II Men and Brian McKnight will perform Aug. 6. It’s hard to believe it was 23 years ago that Boyz was so popular with songs like “I’ll Make Love to You� and “End of the Road.�

Even though they are known as a country band, if you really want to rock you need to go see The Band Perry Aug. 15. I saw them not long ago at the Tacoma Dome with Blake Shelton.

They have won many of country’s top awards already in their young career, and have toured with legends like Reba McIntyre, Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts.

Kim, Neil and Reid’s high-energy song “Done� is worth seeing on its own.

They also have some beautiful slower songs such as “If I Die Young.�

The concert I’m most

Donate A Boat or Car Today!

looking forward to though has to be Huey Lewis and the News. I have always wanted to see them, and now I can, Aug. 28. I have their Sports album on vinyl, and it’s one of my all-time favorites because it’s got so many hits on it. They not only rock, but they have a horn section that is in the realm of Tower of Power.

I’m going to list a number of their hits with the hope they will play them all: “Heart of Rock-n-Roll,� “Power of Love,� “I Wanna New Drug,� “Hip to Be Square,� “Heart and Soul,� and the more mellow, “If This Is It� and “Stuck with You.�

I would be remiss if I did not pay tribute here to

Yes bassist Chris Squire, who died last weekend of leukemia at age 67. He played at the Amphitheater last August. He was one of the original band members who played with Yes for all 47 years. Not only was he an amazing bassist, he also was a fun interview because of his great sense of humor. He will be missed.

But that’s all the more reason for people to make sure they go see their favorites while they can because you never know. I never got to see Elvis, Michael Jackson, Queen, BB King and others because there’s always next time. Well, there isn’t always next time. Go see them. •Boz Scaggs & Aaron Neville, Friday, July 3

Arlington picks replacement for councilman

By KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — On June 29, the Arlington City Council appointed Austin B. DeFreece III to fill the seat left vacant when council member Dick Butner passed away May 15.

The council reviewed seven applications and interviewed six candidates for the position, including not only DeFreece, but also Michael Hopson, Jacob Kukuk, Donald Vanney Jr., Philip Lane, Carson Tavenner and Joseph Coulter.

After interviewing the candidates, Mayor

“...we have six highly qualified candidates that could all readily fill the seat.”

Mayor Barbara Tolbert Barbara Tolbert said, “The council now has the most difficult decision — to choose one person to fill the vacant seat, when we have six highly qualified candidates that could all readily fill the seat.”

After 20 minutes of closed-door deliberations, the council voted 6-0 to appoint DeFreece.

Upon his appointment, DeFreece said: “I am truly honored for this selection. I am excited to get started and give back to my community.”

DeFreece and his family are three-year residents of Arlington. He serves as corporate counsel for HTC in Bellevue.

DeFreece will be sworn in at the start of the Monday, July 6, council meeting at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 110 E. Third St. in Arlington.
