Church promotes gun safety

SMOKEY POINT — Before he began ministering to the people of North Snohomish County, Matt Simonis grew up on a farm in Oregon, where gun ownership was a simple and accepted way of life.

“Our rule was, you kill it,

you eat it,” Simonis said.

When Simonis became a father, he removed all the firearms from his home until all his children were at least 6 years old. But after the shooting at MarysvillePilchuck High School last fall, the associate pastor at LIFEchurch360 in Smokey Point knew he needed to do more.

That “something more” was enough to get the church recognized as a “Local Champion” for firearm safety by the National Shooting Sports Foundation.

The Confederate flag is taking a beat nationwide in popularity but at James Otto’s funeral at Arlington Cemetery this week it draped over his coffin. Otto participated for many years in Civil War re-enactments. Along with the flag, an honor guard of soldiers dressed in uniforms of the era did a 21-gun salute.

CT looks to pass Nov. 3 levy to expand service locally

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

The chief executive officer for Community Transit already is pushing for support of a November ballot measure that would approve funding for the mass tran-

sit agency. “We’re stretched beyond our limits,” Emmett Heath told the Marysville City Council July 27.

Heath said if the measure passes it would improve the local economy and quality of life.

“Your city has grown fast-

er than our service to it,” he admitted. “We need to catch up.”

Heath said ridership has increased, keeping many cars off the road. He said transit takes one-quarter of the cars off Interstate 5 on the commute from Everett

to Seattle.

“We need to keep up with demand. The public loves us too much,” he said.

He added that some routes at certain times fill up, including standingroom only, after the first few stops, leaving those at later

stops to have to wait for long periods of times. He said the third-busiest route in their system is along State Avenue in Marysville.

“We need transit investments and new routes,” he said. Besides, “It’s safer to text on our bus.”

MARYSVILLE – Should the City Council prohibit the use, sales and possession of fireworks within the Marysville city limits?

Yes or No? Those questions will be put to an advisory vote in

the Nov. 3 election.

The measure passed in a rare split vote of the council 4-2. But it wasn’t the only controversial vote at the council meeting July 27.

The council also voted 4-2 to end its relation-

Incorrectly reporting of enrollment numbers isn’t a new problem for the state.

In 2013, the auditor’s office concluded that questionable enrollment counts for alternative learning programs caused $27 million in overfunding for districts statewide. Since then, requirements have been tightened.

“It was documentation, it was reporting, it was understanding the rules and abiding by rules that were changing every year,” Borgens said. “We feel we have a handle on it now.”

When Arlington’s alternative learning experience programs last were audited in 2011, the auditor found $106,045 in overfunding and OSPI required the district to pay back $59,946.

The hours reported to the state did not match district learning plans and the learning plans and monthly evaluations also were not completed on time, the audit says.

The district received about $27.9 million, and $796,416 was for alternative learning programs.

District officials promised to fix the problems. Their strategy includes simplifying oversight by bringing the online program into the Stillaguamish Valley School.

Enrollment, learning plans and progress reports would be tracked with the same software. The principal of the Stillaguamish Valley, Joseph Doucette, will supervise the new combined program. Training and weekly meetings are planned .

GUNS FROM Page 1 800 gun locks, which his church gave away at its “Swap Meat” barbecue, a few weeks after the shooting.

Simonis explained that Dean Jenkin, a chaplain with Stanwood Camano Incident Support, also serves as a board member and volunteer at LIFEchurch360. He helped the church receive 500 gun locks from Arlington police, while Cabela’s supplied the rest.

“We’d already planned to do the barbecue when the shooting happened,” Simonis said. “I’d already acquired gun locks for my personal collection, so I knew who to talk to.”

Simonis had only hoped for 50 gun locks from Cabela’s, which instead presented him with 300.

“They all went quick,” Simonis said. “We had a lot of church members and non-church members alike attending that event.”

The foundation is having its third annual Project ChildSafe “S.A.F.E. Summer” campaign, to emphasize responsible firearm storage during a time of year when children are home from school and more likely to be unattended, Simonis asserted that gun ownership and child safety are not mutually exclusive.

“Even when they were very young, I taught my kids all about gun safety,” Simonis said. “When I’m not using my guns, they’re locked up in a safe, and even when they’re out, they have locks on them.

“There’s already enough violence in the world,” he added. “Accidents don’t need to happen. They can be eliminated, and free gun locks are a great way of doing that.”

Of LIFEchurch360, foundation president Steve Sanetti said, “They are great examples of how the firearms-owning community is committed to safety and personal responsibility, and their work is instrumental in helping reduce firearm accidents.”

S.A.F.E. Summer’s message is “Own It? Respect It. Secure It.” S.A.F.E. serves as an acronym for Store your firearms responsibly when not in use; be Aware of those around you who should not have unauthorized access to guns; Focus on your responsibility as a firearm owner; and Educate yourself and others about safe firearm handling and storage.

IN OUR VIEW

LEAD for example Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith has the right idea.

He wants to get treatment for drug offenders as soon as possible. Not only would that be good for them and society, it would be good for police and courts, too. It would get drug offenders out of jail, freeing up space for more-violent criminals. It would free up police time to investigate more-serious cases. And it would free up courts, which have terrible backlogs Smith wants to work with social services to get that immediate help for drug users before their problems get worse. He wants input from those experts.

But Smith does not have to re-invent the wheel here.

There is a successful program in the Belltown community of Seattle called LEAD, for Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion. The program allows officers to redirect lowlevel offenders to services, instead of jail and prosecution.

Offenders are diverted to community-based treatment and support services — including housing, health care, job training, treatment and mental health support — instead of processing them through the criminal justice system. LEAD participants work immediately with case managers to access services. LEAD’s goals are to reduce the harm a drug offender causes him or herself, as well as the harm that individual is causing the community.

The program preserves expensive criminal justice system resources for serious offenders.

LEAD differs from other drug programs because it is made at the pre-booking stage, in the hopes of bypassing the costs and time entailed in booking, charging, and requiring court appearances of an individual.

LEAD is the result of acollaboration among diverse stakeholders who include: King County prosecutor, Seattle city attorney, police, sheriff, county executive, mayor, state Department of Corrections, The Defender Association, the ACLU and community members. The collaboration was motivated by a dissatisfaction with the outcomes and costs of traditional drug law enforcement. The incarceration of nonviolent offenders has diverted funds away from other critical investments in communities.

Evaluation will consider whether LEAD has resulted in reductions in drug use and recidivism, whether it is more cost-effective than traditional criminal processing, and whether LEAD has had a positive impact on a community.

An evaluation by the University of Washington in March found that LEAD participants had 58 percent lower odds of a subsequent arrest. LEAD demonstrates how cities can enhance public safety while building trust between law enforcement and the communities they protect.

Marysville should take the LEAD in Snohomish County to have this or some other diversion program for drug offenders.

Make needed repairs before listing your home for sale for more options Of all the things on your “To do before we sell” list, it’s a safe bet that “repairs” come in dead last.

That’s because there’s very little about repairs that is fun or creative.

It’s much more exhilarating to shop for cabinets or backsplash tiles than it is to replace a furnace.

But fixing what is broken before a buyer asks you to do so is a smart move.

In the long run, it can be one of the most-lucrative decisions you make.

Here are three good reasons why you should make repairs before you put your home on the market: 1. Making repairs before you list your house saves you money. Before you’re under contract with a buyer, you have all sorts of choices. If you decide you’d like to do the repairs yourself, you can select your own materials and shop around for the best prices. You can save up for the job or pay for it as you go. If you’re not a DIYer, you can opt instead for using a professional, and you can take your

time getting referrals and comparing costs. But once you’re under contract and the home inspection has uncovered a list of necessary repairs, Woodward you no longer have the option of doing the work yourself. In almost every case, you’ll be required to hire a licensed professional to tackle those issues. And you’ll have to choose that professional quickly so the repairs can be made before closing. Rushing almost always costs you more. Better to take on those repairs while you’re still in control of the process and while the clock is on your side.

2. Making repairs before you list your house helps you stand firm on your asking price. When working with sellers, one of my main goals is to remove as many negotiating snags as we can before the inspector begins examining your home. If the inspector finds a number of prob-

lems, buyers have a good reason to offer less for the house. But if there are no glaring issues, you’re less likely to have to make an unwanted price adjustment.

3. Making repairs before you list opens your home to more buyers. While it may be tempting to ignore that list of known issues and leave them for the buyer to deal with, sidestepping those repairs may limit your pool of buyers. Unless your buyer is paying with cash, he or she will be using a lender—and that means you’ll be dealing with an appraiser. Typically, conventional loans have lessstrict requirements. But when your buyer is getting an FHA or VA loan, the standards are more stringent.

For example, if your roof permits moisture to enter the house or has less than two years’ life left in it, it won’t pass the scrutiny of an FHA appraiser.

That means repair or reroofing, which could result in an extension on your closing date. VA appraisers are even stricter.

If you have broken windows in your home, those must be repaired or the VA won’t guarantee the loan.

You want as many potential buyers as possible, so the best course of action is to prepare your home in such a way that any buyer has a chance to get financing.

The bottom line is this: known issues must be disclosed to potential buyers.

And unknown issues will likely be discovered during the home inspection.

If you want to save yourself time, money and worry, it’s best to fix the things you know about and get a pre-inspection so you can fix the things you didn’t know about.

Then you can list with full confidence that you’re offering the best possible version of your house— which will yield you the best possible price.

Arlington boasts 2 guessers at Wheel of Fortune tryout

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON – Two Arlington women were among those who tried out July 26 for ----- -- -------.

At the Wheel of Fortune tryouts, not only were they picked but both Amy

Danard and Christina Sabella of Arlington were the ones who solved the puzzles at Xfinity Arena in Everett.

Sabella said she was among the first group chosen out of possibly thousands in attendance.

“It was just like on the show,” she said.

The host asked her to tell the audience a little about herself. “I was really nervous. I was not prepared at all,” she said.

For the game itself, five players competed in a fast round. It’s normally played at the end of the real show when time is running out.

Each player guesses a letter in an attempt to solve a puzzle.

Sabella was third in line.

The players went one time through, and then it was her turn again. “It was pretty simple to solve,” she said, adding the puzzle answer was “Planting a tree.”

She said the entire process seemed to take about 10 to 15 minutes. “Their goal was to get as many people as possible to audition,” she said.

Danard went to the tryouts with her husband and a friend.

“I’ve watched Wheel of Fortune since I was a little kid,” she said. “I always do really well, shouting out the answers at home.”

She did really well at the

Amy Danard of Arlington celebrates after guessing the answer at Wheel of Fortune tryouts. tryouts, too. “I thought I new the answer before anybody guessed a letter,” she said.

The category was College Life. And it helped that there was an apostrophe, she said. Danard was third to go. There was only one letter in the puzzle when she guessed, “The Dean’s List.”

“That was pretty awesome,” she said, adding her hobby of doing crossword puzzles also helped.

The show’s producers will watch a video of the event to choose contestants.

“If we have what they’re

looking for” they will get back to us within three months, Sabella said. If they get picked after that closed audition, it’s on to the show itself with legendary stars Pat Sajack and Vanna White.

Sabella said some people were dancing around trying to get attention. “They were really auditioning. Wow,” she said with a laugh.

Sabella said she felt bad for her friend who actually talked her into going. Even though Sabella was picked by random early on, they stayed all four hours of the tryout hoping her friend

also would get a chance.

They left along with many others after the final group was selected. The audience was “more unenthusiastic as the day went on,” Sabella said.

The contestants went home with a variety of keepsakes, including their pictures in front of the wheel, tickets to Xfinity Arena events, t-shirts and more.

Sabella said she started watching Wheel 30 years ago with her grandma.

“I’d be yelling at the TV,” she said. “How could they not know that answer?”

Animals star in Silvana

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SILVANA — If 12-yearold Sammy Day has learned anything in her two years of raising goats, it’s this: Frosted Mini-Wheats.

“Goats can be pretty stubborn, but you can get them to behave with Frosted Mini-Wheats,” the Camano Island girl said, as she groomed her colored angora goat, Shadow, at the Silvana Fair July 25. “It’s a common practice. A friend from 4-H got me into training goats, and it can be difficult, but it’s worth it when you see your hard work pay off.”

For Sammy, that meant seeing Shadow win the grand champion intermediate and merit awards.

Like Sammy, Lynden’s Grant Heystek has built up a couple years’ worth of experience in working with his animals. Heystek works with cows rather than goats, and confessed that he’s not

entirely sure what got him interested in cows, but he agreed w i t h Sammy that persistence is key.

“They are stubKirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo born, but you just Sammy Day and her goat, Shadow. have to keep on Princess. training them,” Heystek “I’d seen people with said. “More and more, you these animals at other fairs, learn to work with them so I wanted to give it a try and earn their trust.” myself,” Kramme said. “I got Granite Falls’ Lindsey my first guinea pig at the Kramme has been breed- Evergreen State Fair, and my ing and showing rabbits and first rabbit at the Stanwoodguinea pigs for eight of the Camano Community Fair.

Grant Heysteck brushes his cow. He says persistence is key when working with animals.

I have to cull about a third of them. But it’s worth it to hang out with animals and meet new people.”

John McGonigal of Lake Stevens was one of the adult entrants in this year’s Silvana Fair, bringing with him a variety of pigeons so unique that many spectators mistook for more exotic

breeds of birds.

McGonigal took up pigeon breeding from his father in 1972, and showing his pigeons has taken him from Canada to Oregon.

He estimated that he owns seven varieties of pigeons, including the puff-chested fantail and the flumetopped Jacobin, with a total

of about 150 pigeons in his aviary. Some are quite expensive. The Jacobin alone costs $150. “My favorites are probably the rollers, though,” McGonigal said. “I love how they tumble backward. Unfortunately, the hawks like them even more than I do, so I don’t fly them all that often.”

BRIEFS MARYSVILLE – Artists, photographers and graphic designers are invited to enter an art contest with the winner receiving $200.

The contest is to design a cover for first Business Directory published by the Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce.

“Your art should embody your sense of the city of Marysville and the Tulalip community,” the rules say.

The cover must be an original artwork or photograph. The contest ends Aug. 14, with the winner announced Aug. 31.

Submit digital entries to: Maryjane@marysvilletulalipchamber.com or deliver to: 8825 34th Ave. NE, Suite C, Tulalip, WA 98271.

New phone numbers

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville School District will be changing its phone numbers as a new phone system has been installed.

A list of new numbers for the schools and key district departments has been posted to the district website at msd25.org.

The new ShoreTel system is being funded by the technology levy approved by Marysville voters in 2014. It replaces an outdated system that was no longer being manufactured and increas-

ingly challenging to sustain, new communications director Craig Degginger said.

The district will now have just one prefix for all numbers, 965. The new main district Service Center number is 360-965-0000.

The old main numbers for the schools will be forwarded to the new main number. Select district office and other extensions will also be forwarded, but the bulk of the old phone numbers will not be forwarded.

For details, call 360-9650190.

Motorcyclists donate

MARYSVILLE – Machinists Union District Lodge 751’s 13th annual Puppy Putt motorcycle event raised more than $9,300 for charity.

The event July 11 attracted nearly 50 motorcycle riders, who left from Marysville and Lacey and rode to IAM 751’s Seattle Union Hall for an afternoon of food, music and fun.

Sound Harley-Davidson in Marysville was a major sponsor again this year, but Puppy Putt is an “all breed” event that’s open to riders of all makes and models of motorcycles, said Terri Myette, chairwoman of the organizing committee.

Proceeds go to Guide Dogs of America.

Adults play hardball just for the fun of it

Lefty Steven Cook stares at the pitcher while catcher Tracy Wummak gets ready.

Brandon Adam/Staff Photo

John Weinkauf never pitched on a team until he was 31.

It’s Curley and Weinkauf ’s first time in the league, and they both enjoy it.

“I haven’t got hit yet,” Weinkauf said.

Others had great careers

prior to joining, such as Tracy Wammack, who starred at Lakewood High School.

He has been in the league for five years.

He lettered a couple of times at his high school and played a bit at Skagit Valley, but eventually just focused on school. Now, 28, he works as a 911 dispatcher.

“It’s great to get out and play baseball any way we can,” he said.

Wammack appreciates the professionalism in the league.

“It would be difficult if it was just people arguing,” he added.

Another player is Jordan

Stauffer whose “wife and baby get to watch too,” he said.

“You miss it once you graduate,” Stauffer said.

Stauffer, 24, works as a tugboat captain and likes to play for the Aces to stay fit and to socialize.

Younger players like Steven Cook, 20, are just happy to find a baseball league.

“There’s softball leagues, but it’s hard to come by a hard-ball league,” Cook

said.

Cook graduated from Everett High School in 2013. He’s glad to continue playing.

“It’s not super competitive, and it’s not like an expensive traveling league,” Cook said.

The league is comprised of four teams with players coming from Stanwood, Lakewood and Arlington.

The four teams meet and play every Wednesday until Aug. 26 at Evans Field.

1375992

ARLINGTON — John Weinkauf had never played organized baseball before.

Not t-ball, Little League, Babe Ruth, American Legion or high school.

But at age 31 he’s playing on one of the four teams in the Arlington Aces adult baseball league.

He has always thrown a ball, but never played on a team.

That’s a shame because he has a great arm, his teammates said.

“I’ve never been passionate about it,” he said.

Weinkauf, 31, works at Volant in Sedro-Woolley as an aerospace interiors specialist.

His sport of choice is skateboarding, but his brother-in-law and teammate Steven Curley kept enticing Weinkauf to play.

“He’s got a good curveball and can throw fast,” Curley said.

Curley, 35, lives between Sedro-Woolley and Concrete and commutes to Everett to work for Boeing.

He’s been in baseball leagues before, but wanted a place between his work and home.

No Confederate flag controversy at this funeral

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — It’s not uncommon at a funeral to lay a flag on the coffin, but what set Jamie Otto’s funeral apart was the flag by which he was remembered.

Otto, an Arlington resident who died July 17 at age 39, was an avid Civil War re-enactor. As such, his fellow members of the 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment’s Company G arrived at the Arlington Cemetery in periodauthentic uniforms to pay their respects. An 1865 flag of the Confederate States, which is the subject of national debate, was draped over his coffin.

“We look on this flag as history,” he continued. “There was a lot of pain and suffering in that war, but they were brothers in arms. Jamie was closer to me than my own siblings.

I will miss him, but I will never forget him.”

Mulivrana came into Civil War re-enacting from 15 years in the actual miliKirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo tary, “so I thought Firing a 21-gun salute are members of the 26th North Carolina Infantry Regiment Company G.

enacting, “and he helped me through it, and I’ll never forget that.”

Both Mulivrana and Joe Fuller, who served as Otto’s captain, recalled his fondness for food, with Mulivrana laughing that “there were few folks who liked Spam as much as Jamie did,” while Fuller recounted how Otto led a chase of nearly a hundred re-enactors, after a dog who’d made off with a large ham.

“He would do anything for you,” Fuller said. “He was one of the genuinely nicest people I’ve ever known.”

Mulivrana agreed: “He was quick with a handshake and a hug. When you needed a hand, you didn’t even need to ask him. We took care of each other.”

After re-enactors Eben Roeper and Dan Gerrer ceremonially folded the Confederate flag, they presented it to Otto’s family.

Phillip (Mac) Fred McAlister, Jr, 62, died July 26, 2015 after a courageous battle with an insidious disease. He was born on Feb 8, 1953 in Everett, WA, the eldest of three siblings. He graduated with a BA from CWU in 1980 and loved working as a graphic artist for Puget Press Multiple in Everett for 30+ years. He subsequently worked at Electric Mirror in S Everett, enjoying a very positive workplace.

In 1977, he married Diana Lynn Downing of Soap Lake, WA. He is survived by his wife and daughters, Becky (Mike) Jolly, Debra (Eric) Schwulst, Bethany (Jarid) McCool and Kaitlyn (Greg) Cope, as well as 10 grandchildren – Makayla, MicahMae, Manesseh Jolly, Gideon, Judah and Lydia Schwulst, Braden and Jaxon McCool and Elizabeth and Olivia Cope. In addition, his parents, Phil and Gay McAlister of East Wenatchee, sister Cindy Hoyden and brother Mike (Monica) McAlister both of Everett and their children survive him.

Mac’s character was first formed by his Grandmother Hinds, who took him regularly to Sunday School.

There, “Freddy” met Jesus at age 3. He learned his love of solitude, sitting for hours

in the fishing boat with his grandfather.

His artistic eye for design, line, shape and texture grew from his time in his grandparents’ care. “ F r e d ”, as a youth in S Everett, had friends that explored music in Portland and dropped out to NE Washington to “live off the land”. He loved hiking the high trails and building habitats. He worked for the Forest Service and decided he didn’t want to make his living working in a mine or logging.

He landed in Rock Island where he was introduced to his future wife. “Mac’s” graduation from college prepared him for a professional job, creating copy for a print firm. His clear and crisp portfolio won him the job.

His workmanship rose in high regard. Mac researched technology and navigated this quickly developing field, enjoying podcasts and tech magazines. (One techie likeminded son-in-law has come into a new appreciation of him in this area.)

Mac saw himself as a realist. He thought the optimists of the world (his wife) saw realists as pessimists.

He d e a lt with reality in ways that brought Peace and Comfort, demonstrating a faith in the Truth for the ages. He believed all conflict was resolvable between reasoned sons of God. Mac’s love of the sea came from sailing. He communed with God while near or on the water build his awe of how big was his God, how vast, how powerful.

A quiet man, Mac’s subtle wit resulted in everyone listening carefully when he spoke. The result was either profound or hilarious.

When Mac corrected his children, his kindness encouraged them to be better than they were. They knew his unconditional love.

They didn’t have to prove themselves to him.

Out of Mac’s consistent heart of kindness, his others in the family grew to trust in a heavenly Father. One child and one son-in-law testify of learning the Father in heaven

because of Mac’s character.

In the crisis of this disease, Mac believed the promises of God. At one point early on, he knew his time was coming and he asked God for more time. His family had an additional year beyond his prayer.

Phil’s faithfulness and gentle kindness drew the quiet ones. He played guitar, and about any other instrument he picked up.

Sailing, hunting chantrelles in “no-tellum-mushroompatch” and his passion for computers and techie stuff filled his free time.

The celebration of his life will be Friday, July 31 at 1:00 pm at Bryant Community Church, Arlington followed by a reception with light refreshments.

In lieu of flowers, which wither and die, three organizations that agree with the values Mac held are Family Academy, a private school supporting homeschooling families, Br ya nt Com mun it y Church of Arlington, his home church for 35 years and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance’s Family Assistance Fund. Each of these agencies changed his life.

“The last few years, it seems like we’ve opened a little earlier each year,” farm owner Jamie Flint said. “We were picking and freezing berries three weeks before this year’s festival. The festival is meant to be when we have the most berries out on our bushes, but our early crop came in three weeks ahead of schedule, and our late crop hasn’t come in yet.”

Flint attributes this shifting harvest to this year’s “crazy” weather patterns, which saw the farm suffer a few consecutive months SEE BLUES, PAGE 13

Darrington Meltdown offers many new events DARRINGTON – Last year, Summer Meltdown organizers Josh and Genevieve Clauson faced a difficult decision when a landslide devastated neighboring Oso. Rather than cancel the festival, the couple decided to use its growing audience to contribute to the region’s recovery through fundraising efforts and ticket donations to first responders, volunteers and their families.

Today, a butterfly maple tree — showered with love, well wishes and prayer ribbons throughout last year’s festival — is planted outside the Oso Fire hall.

This year, as Summer Meltdown gears up for its 15th anniversary, it’s celebrating new partnerships with local businesses to present the best that the area has to offer in guided river rafting, rock climbing and horseback riding, in addition to a family friendly weekend of great music, camping and community.

“In the aftermath of Oso, Josh and I started talking about offering outdoor recreation as a way to shine light on the area and help promote local business and tourism beyond the festival,” Genevieve said.

“Also, it just seemed like a natural evolution for our event,” she continued. “We think of Summer Meltdown as an annual celebration of music, community, and the great outdoors. The natural beauty of the area is a huge reason why people come back year after year, and we felt that offering outdoor adventures would enhance the incredible connection that people feel to their surroundings when they are at Meltdown.”

Music headliners include: STS9, Iration, Tycho, Greensky Bluegrass and Galactic – as well as a wide

Seattle’s Mary Ellen Tally still brings her grandkids out for the festival, even though some of them, like 10-year-old Cayden Brunskill, live as far away as Silverdale.

without rain, only to be hit with misting precipitation on the morning of the festival on July 25, which usually boasts sunny skies.

“It’s our first time, in seven years of doing this, that we’ve had rain on the day of the festival,” Flint said. “Everybody’s still having a good time, though, especially the kids, and that’s really who this is for as much as anyone.”

In spite of the inclement weather and slightly

smaller selection on the bushes, Flint estimated this year’s turnout would be down only 20 percent from its usual thousand or more attendees. In addition to the regular attractions, including barrel train and pony rides, this year saw the debut of the giant jumping pillow, a huge inflated canvas area that kids could bounce on.

Although Arlington’s Pearl Britton brought her kids to the festival for years, they’re all grown up now, so she persuaded her boyfriend, Chuck Reinke, to visit the farm for the first

Man sought for multiple burglaries in county

MARYSVILLE — Police believe a serial burglar with 20 felony convictions is up to his old tricks. They’re looking for Jason James Mora, 41, for two break-ins in Snohomish County.

In a May burglary outside of Arlington, someone kicked in a garage door,

said Glenn DeWitt, a detective with the North County Property Crimes Unit.

Blood evidence taken from a December burglary near Lake Stevens also allegedly links DNA to the suspect, DeWitt said. The detective also believes Mora pawned a tanzanite and

diamond ring in Smokey Point for $700. “That was just a fraction of its worth,” DeWitt said. An appraiser valued the ring at $22,000.

Mora, who reportedly has worn a blond wig as a disguise, already is scheduled for trial in Snohomish County Superior Court.

He’s charged with attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle and possessing meth. Those charges stem from a January arrest in which he is accused of leading police on a latenight pursuit in a stolen Subaru. He allegedly drove through red lights and stop

signs, crossed into oncoming lanes and reached speeds of 90 mph in and between Marysville and Lake Stevens. The Subaru landed on top of a concrete wall after turning off 88th Street onto State Avenue in Marysville. The suspect ran before being caught.

Consultant: Arlington has solid year in state legislature kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — “It’s been a good year for Arlington in the state legislature,” Al Aldrich, the city’s consultant with Strategies 360, told the City Council July 27.

Aldrich noted that Arlington benefited from some outside help, including Reps. Norma Smith of the 10th District and June Robinson of the 38th District.

“We’ve developed good relationships with legisla-

Country duo at festival ARLINGTON – Shawna and Keifer Thompson, better known as the country music duo Thompson Square, will perform Sunday, Aug. 9, at the Stillaguamish Festival of the River & Pow Wow. Their new single “Trans Am” is earning critical acclaim and marks a new direction for the husband/ wife duo. Instead of the more laid-back married couple act, they are now performing with more passion and energy.

Thompson Square has earned No. 1 singles in three countries: United States, Canada and Australia (“Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not,” “If I Didn’t Have You,” and “Everything I Shouldn’t Be Thinking About”).

Twice they have been named “Vocal Duo of the Year” by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Awards.

tors who don’t even represent our district,” said Aldrich, who still emphasized the roles played by Sen. Kirk Pearson and Rep. Dan Kristiansen, who do represent Arlington, in pushing through the $39.3 million widening of Highway 531, as well as the bill authorizing Arlington, Marysville and Lake Stevens to exempt new manufacturing or industrial facilities from local property taxes.

While the 531 project is slated for 2019-25, Aldrich was optimistic that it could

start sooner. “It’s ready to go, right out of the box, so we’ll be looking to move it up if other projects stumble,” said Aldrich, who credited Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert with “telling the city’s story” during visits to the area by the chairs of the House and Senate transportation committees.

Aldrich explained that the project’s other advantages, for consideration by the legislature, were that the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County placed it on its coordinated list,

Have a Ball!

and that Arlington worked with the state Department of Transportation to draw up a practical design for the road widening, which lowered its projected cost.

The 531 project was not included in the Senate’s initially agreed-upon package in February, but Aldrich cited the role of Rep. Dave Hayes, also of the 10th District, in resubmitting the project, two hours before deadline. “If we hadn’t gotten on that list, it would have been the death knell for this project,” Aldrich

said. “Fortunately, enough folks support economic recovery in this area, and know what we’ve already done to pick up that load.”

Aldrich likewise praised the support of Sen. Steve Hobbs of the 44th District, as well as Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring.

Moving to the capital budget, Aldrich noted that $2.242 million would go toward the expansion of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, with another $2 million going to Whitehorse

Trail development and $296,000 to the Darrington Skate Park. “At the start of this session, everything was doom and gloom,” Arlington city council member Chris Raezer said.

“What happened?”

“The biggest change was that our revenue forecast kept getting bigger and bigger,” Aldrich said. “We’ve had a lot of people moving into this area. It might not be as strong in the rest of the state, but it’s strong in Puget Sound.”
