District earns award for energy efficiency BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District’s commitment to energy efficiency has reaped dividends from the Snohomish County Public Utility District. PUD Commissioner Dave Aldrich attended the Marysville School Board’s June 20 meeting to present the school district with an oversized check for $82,659, an incentive for the energy efficiency features that were incorporated into the design of the Marysville Getchell High School campus. “What made this project successful was the close partnership between the school district and the PUD,” said Aldrich, who told the meeting’s attendees that MSD
Capital Projects Manager John Bingham, Maintenance Manager Keith Stefanson, and Project Manager and Resource Conservation Manager Mike Brady all deserved credit. Aldrich likewise praised design team members Cathy Augustin with Coffman Engineers and Ola Jarvegren with DLR Group for their roles in implementing these features, as well as Mary Smith, Ronn Larpenteur, Dena Peel and Ray Burton of PUD. Among the energy efficiency features that this team incorporated into Marysville Getchell High School were: ■ Interior lighting that SEE ENERGY, PAGE 2

Melissa Stone protests the tax rebates going to the JPMorgan Case Bank while the Marysville School District is faced with budget cuts.
MARYSVILLE — Area protestors once again took to the streets and sidewalks in front of a Marysville branch of a bank chain to object to tax practices that they believe unfairly benefit such banks. Members of “OUR Marysville” — with “OUR” standing for “Organization United for Reform” — marched in front of the closed doors of the Marysville branch of the JPMorgan Chase Bank on June 24, calling for Chase to use part of a $1.4 billion tax refund to
help fund the Marysville School District. Joshua Watler, executive director of “OUR Washington,” explained that Chase is on the verge of claiming this $1.4 billion by acquiring Washington Mutual, to whom the refund was due. He and his fellow protestors presented a “bill” for $5 million to employees of the Marysville Chase branch to fund programs that have been diminished or discontinued in the Marysville School District due to state and federal budget cuts. “Chase doesn’t pay their fair share in taxes in Washington

state,” protestor Sara Leinen said. “Marysville schools are being cut by $5 million this year. What do we tell our kids?” “This means higher class sizes, cuts to staff and teachers, and little to no music and arts in our schools,” said fellow protestor Melissa Stone, who arrived in a wheelchair. “Chase will also receive tens of millions for not paying Washington state taxes.

Marysville School District’s longstanding relationship with the PUD to promote energy efficiency, citing the range of energy efficient lighting measures that the school district installed at the Marysville Secondary Options Campus and Grove Elementary School. Bingham explained that the money the school district received from the PUD would be used to generate more money in turn. “Rebates like this go into the district’s account for leveraging more grants,” Bingham said. “Many state grants require matching funds, which means we can’t even apply for those unless we can supply our portion. The good thing about this money is that, to a certain extent, it’s self-perpetuating.”

Calbero was accepted into the Berkeley School of Music after graduating from M-PHS, but she’s since honed her vocal and guitar skills on the streets of Seattle instead, due to Berkeley being too expensive. In addition to performing in locations such as Pike Place Market, the singer and songwriter, who now
lives in Everett, has taught herself how to put together her own recording studio, through research online and from a variety of books. Calbero credits the streets with affording her an avenue to practice and develop an ear for her acoustics, and she appreciates the occasions when her audiences join in.
Sonja Wanichek, a selfdescribed supporter of Calbero, described the young musician as possessing “a relentless passion to study music.” You can vote for Calbero online, or learn more about her, at www.rollingstone. com/sprintstreet/artists/carly-calbero.

Foreclosures are at an all-time high, and Chase Bank is not willing to work with families to keep them from losing their homes.” Blanco echoed Stone’s condemnation of Chase’s “corporate greed,” which prompted Stone to request that Phyllis Campbell, head of Chase Bank’s northwest region, step up and do the right thing.” The Marysville branch of Chase Bank allowed customers in and out during the protest, but did not allow the protestors inside, although Marysville Chase employees spoke with protestors about their concerns. Those employees deferred to Darcy Donahoe-Wilmot, who handles media relations for
Chase, to comment to the press. “As a bank serving consumers and businesses and as a corporate citizen, we play an active role in our community,” DonahoeWilmot said, after being presented with the protestors’ objections. “Last year, JPMorgan Chase gave over $11.4 million to non-profits in Washington state.” OUR Marysville is currently coordinating a community town hall meeting July 6 at 6 p.m. in Jennings Memorial Park, located at 6915 Armar Rd., to discuss these and other tax practices and educational funding issues with local and state elected officials.

Chase lobbies every day against my family, our schools and our state.” OUR Marysville member Crystal Blanco has children attending Sunnyside Elementary and MarysvillePilchuck High School, and contrasted Chase’s tax rebate with the unemployment, foreclosures, and spending cuts in education and healthcare facing many Washington families. “In the past five years, Chase has shortchanged Washington taxpayers out of $2.6 million in fees as a result of failing to record mortgage sales with local governments,” Blanco said. “Since Chase took over WaMu here in Washington state, small business loans from the bank have plum-

Purrfect Pals team up to help rescue cats BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com
LAKEWOOD — It wasn’t exactly work as usual this past week for Lakewood’s Purrfect Pals cat sanctuary. Teamed with Pasados Safe Haven and the Northwest Organization for Animal Help, Purrfect Pals helped rescue more than 100 cats from an undisclosed residence in rural Washington. In what seemed like another case of heartsinking pet abuse actually turned out to be a plea for help. The owner of the cats, who was not identified, contacted the producers at Animal Planet which filmed the rescue. The episode will run on its series “Confessions: Animal Hoarding,” according to Purrfect Pals Director Carolyn Goodrich. Although three agencies interceded, Goodrich emphasized that the rescue was an intervention and not a confiscation mission. “The woman who had the cats was simply overwhelmed, that’s why she called Animal Planet and then us,” Goodrich said. “Luckily we were all able to
help her.” After what turned out to be a 12-hour project, Purrfect Pals brought home 17 adult cats and 13 kittens. Pasados took 54 cats and kittens, its biggest rescue in the sanctuary’s 19 years. N.O.A.H. took the remaining cats. Nearly every adult cat and kitten Purrfect Pals brought back to its sanctuary were in good health and showed no symptoms of malnutrition. “They were in fairly good condition,” Goodrich said. “A few had intestinal parasites and respiratory infections but that is typical when cats go outside. But overall they were all fairly healthy and none showed any signs of abuse. The owner had good intentions but she just got overwhelmed to the detriment to her own health. She was caring more for the cats than her own health.” So why is Animal Planet running a segment on its Hoarder’s show? “From my understanding of the show, the episodes always involve voluntary participation from people who are desperate,” Goodrich said. “They assist

people who are in a tough situation and who are asking for help.” Once the cats are spayed and neutered, an undetermined number of cats will be returned to the owner. “People were leaving strays on her doorstep because they knew she would take care of them,” Goodrich said. “Some of the cats will be returned so she can have the companionship of the cats she loved.” Purrfect Pals has been boarding and nursing cats back to good health since 1988. Currently, the sanctuary is near its capacity of 220 cats, most of which will remain there for their lifetime. The non-profit organization does not euthanize cats for space or time as long as the cats have a good quality of life, Goodrich said. Purrfect Pals has 20 offsite locations and has a partnership with Petco and Petsmart. In all, Purrfect Pals, which also has more than 200 volunteers, finds homes for 2,000 cats per year. “We have an excellent partnership with the two pet stores,” Goodrich said. “They provide us with food

They also provide adoption counselors who facilitate adoptions.” Purrfect Pals spends nearly $10,000 each year vacci-
nating, deworming, spaying and neutering cats. It’s currently asking for monetary donations, or unopened cat food and even paper towels.

Lakewood celebrates graduation BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Lakewood High School Class of 2011 Class Speaker Charnie Dondrea tells her peers that she believes in them during their commencement on June 13.
LAKEWOOD — As the 164 members of the Lakewood High School Class of 2011 assembled for the last time before becoming graduates on June 13, they received a three-part series of helpful tips for the future from their peers. LHS Valedictorian Ternessa Cao opened with a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote, emphasizing that the students’ achievements are dwarfed by their potential for the future. “From our past, we have had so many memorable moments, ones that have made us laugh to the point where our stomachs ached, and ones that have inspired us to be who we are,” said Cao, who thanked the students’ teachers, parents, families and friends for helping them make it this far. “For our future, we want to prove to them that our hard work and their dedica-
tion to us will be worth something. We will make them proud by going out there to be part of the community and to work at excelling in our talents. For the next few years and throughout our entire lives we will definitely face challenges, but we will learn and grow from them.” Cao encouraged her peers to open themselves to discovering new paths as adults and to celebrate their accomplishments in the meantime. “Each one of us is an individual,” Cao said. “Cherish this and never lose yourself. Remember the past and look forward with eagerness toward the future.” Fellow LHS Valedictorian Hannah Clark recalled a series of memorable classroom moments, as well as the students’ hard work and giving mentors as she included LHS faculty such as teacher, coach and “wise man” Jeff Sowards in the latter category. “He showed us through his actions
that we can make a difference in others’ lives,” Clark said, citing his treadmill marathon to raise funds for the Seattle Children’s Hospital. “He is living proof that the sun is always shining. It shined on our past, it is shining on us now and it will light the way to a bright future.” LHS Class Speaker Charnie Dondrea injected some humor and quoted pop song lyrics into the proceedings, before echoing Cao’s admission that the future after high school remains uncertain for them all in many ways. “I encourage all of you to dream big and go after your dreams,” Dondrea said. “I believe that everyone graduating in this room has the ability to do great things. The choice is yours. If you want to do, be or achieve something, go for it. If you don’t believe in yourself, I do. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’”

Arlington celebrates Independence Day
A
week of family fun featuring a trio of annual SCOTT FRANK events kicks off Monday as MANAGING Arlington hosts it annual Frontier Days Fourth of July Celebration EDITOR and continues with the Fly-In and the Street Fair. Monday’s events celebrating the Fourth of July are not only entertaining and fun, many of them, such as the pancake breakfast, the Kiwanis auctions and the Rotary Duck Dash, also raise funds to benefit the community. The festivities will feature a new event this year — the “Mini-Marshmallow Madness” at Legion Park. There’s also the Kiddies Parade and the Grand Parade which draw large crowds — of both spectators and participants — each year. And, of course, there’s the fireworks display to top off the day’s festivities. After a couple days to rest, the fun begins again July 6 as the annual Fly-In lands at the Arlington Airport. The event, which runs through July 10, features all the old favorites, as well as some new attractions. While the events are too many to list, some of them include the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force bringing its B-17, the Sentimental Journey, to the Fly-In, a Kids Day, a hot air balloon “Night Glow,” the Salute to Veterans Day, the Medal of Honor display and one of the Pacific Northwest’s largest gatherings of military vehicles and weapons. The third event of the week is the annual Street Fair on Olympic Avenue in downtown Arlington which features food, music, entertainment and a wide variety of vendors. None of these events would be possible without the hard work and dedication of all the volunteers who give of themselves to benefit our community. They deserve our thanks and appreciation. We should also express our gratitude to all of the sponsors who stepped up and contributed to ensure our community would be able to enjoy these great activities. So get out and enjoy yourselves, and if you see a volunteer or sponsor, tell them thanks for bringing these great events to our community.

Counting rail cars
inety-eight, ninetynine, one hundred, one hundred one, one hundred two. The final car, a bulk carrier, rumbled past and the barrier lifted. Until Marysville is once again bisected by the moving wall of BNSF. I was counting cars at the 4th Street crossing, the most heavily traveled of Marysville’s controlled crossings. At present, about 15 trains per day ply the tracks linking Everett and Bellingham but plans are afoot to more than double that to 33 trains per day. Coal for export originating in Montana and Wyoming is driving the increase and some of the nation’s heaviest hitting movers and shakers are backing it. Warren Buffet’s Burlington Northern-Santa Fe will do the hauling while New York’s Goldman-Sachs is backing construction of a deep-water terminal to handle the coal at Bellingham’s Cherry Point. No doubt about it, exporting coal will give the economy a needed boost. Miners and railroaders will profit. Construction of the $700 million Cherry Point coal and grain facility will shed disposable income on the northern reaches of the I-5 corridor. But whenever there’s an up-side there has to be a downside. Given the shortage of overpasses and underpasses, more than doubling rail traffic at Marysville’s crossings would all but paralyze east-west com-

merce. Historically, rails were a lifeline for Marysville’s economy along with that of every other town along BNSF routes. That was a time of few cars and relaxed schedules. Today’s planners are forced to look at gradecrossings as potential chokepoints for burgeoning traffic volumes. Will other towns along the route be similarly afflicted? I pulled up Google Earth and zoomed in on BNSF tracks north of Everett. Scrolling northward, I took notes on every underpass and overpass between Marysville and the Canadian border. A few routes were designed to pass under or over the rails, some skirted river banks under rail bridges or plunged downhill over a rail tunnel. A mere 10 of them are of any note. Any others are restricted to limited traffic or pedestrians only. There will be a real crisis if the Montana-Wyoming coal is ducted through Marysville. Rahm Emanuel once said, “You never want to let a good crisis go to waste.” Commenting on global environmental issues, Hillary Clinton said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” So it is with the rail issue. If we want relief from rail-induced grid-
lock, we can’t afford to waste this crisis. The issue would be serious even without other predictable increases in rail traffic. Oil destined for Anacortes’ Tesoro refinery from the mountain states is slated to add two trains per month. Population growth will certainly mean more trash-trains headed for the big Central Washington landfill. And fuel costs are causing shippers who previously relied on trucks to switch to rails. Coal trains would max-out at about 125 cars, longer than the average train now passing the 4th Street crossing. Considering the amount of investment projected for the coal mines and Cherry Point facility, a bit should be set aside for easing crisis-level inconveniences caused along the way. Two, maybe three new overpasses or underpasses at choke-points between Everett and Bellingham would certainly be a minimum. The message to BNSF from affected municipalities should be, “You want to double rail traffic? Okay, then here’s the deal.” Hold-ups at rail crossings halt emergency vehicles, affect catching ferries, work and school schedules, delay deliveries, melt ice cream and frazzle tempers. With each train made of upwards of a hundred cars, every train traps enough drivers and passengers at crossings to SEE RAIL, PAGE 7

Keep safety in mind when celebrating the Fourth of July A
s we celebrate our independence, the Marysville Fire District reminds everyone that it is important to keep safety in mind. The Marysville Fire District experiences more than a 100 percent increase in calls for service during the Fourth of July celebration, and offers the following tips to help reduce these unwanted incidents.
To help keep you safe please follow these simple tips: ■ Never build or experiment with homemade fireworks. ■ Never let children handle or light fireworks. Even sparklers can be dangerous if unsupervised. The tip of a Sparkler burns at a temperature of over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. ■ Never ignite fireworks while holding them. Only light one at a time, and move quickly away. ■ Make sure you give yourself enough room in a safe location – away from buildings, vehicles, and flammable materials. ■ Never light fireworks inside a structure. ■ Watch what you wear. Loose clothing can catch on fire, and

should not be worn while handling fireworks. ■ Never try to re-ignite fireworks that have malfunctioned. Soak them in water and throw away. ■ Never ignite fireworks when you are under the influence of alcohol, prescription drugs or mind-altering drugs. ■ Have a bucket of water to douse used fireworks and for emergencies. ■ Never aim fireworks at vehicles. ■ Never discharge fireworks from vehicles. ■ Be respectful of your neighbors. ■ In case of an emergency dial 9-1-1.
Grilling Safety
To enjoy the riches of grilling, be mindful to prevent unwanted
incidents. Never leave your grill unattended and follow these easy safety tips to prevent incidents: ■ When using barbecue grills on decks or patios, be sure to leave sufficient space from siding and eaves. ■ Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use. ■ Keep children and pets far away from grills. ■ With charcoal grills, only use charcoal starter fluids designed for barbecue grills and do not add fluid after coals have been lit. ■ With gas grills, be sure that the hose connection is tight and check hoses carefully for leaks. Applying soapy water to the hoses will easily and safely reveal any leaks. ■ Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and have the grill repaired by a professional, if necessary. The Marysville Fire District wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July as we act responsibly during this time of celebration.

RAIL FROM PAGE 6 man-hours. Remedies won’t come easy because BNSF has a record of playing hardball when faced with challenges. Brett Emison, investigative reporter for the Minneapolis Star Tribune documented BNSF’s staggering patter on misconduct aimed at covering up its role in the deaths of four young people whose car collided with a train because of a faulty crossing gate. In other cases, Burlington Northern Santa Fe sought to simply close public and private crossings after accidents happened. A spokesperson said, “Concern for the safety of employees, as well as the traveling public, has always been a number-one priority for the railroad, and our closure (of crossings) is further proof of our efforts to reduce accidents.” Hmmm. BNSF’s reactions to accidents have been to (1) close at-grade crossings, forc-
7
ing motorists and other to take alternative routes; (2) force construction of parallel connecting roads; or very rarely (3) create bridges or underpasses. The more costly remedies erode corporate profits. A few crossings such as Marysville’s 4th Street and 88th Street crossings already experience intolerable blockage by passing trains. Given what the future holds, relief is necessary. Economic reality would likely preclude fixing both crossings but the health of our community requires calls for a remedy at one or the other of the sites. If we let this crisispoint pass, BNSF will dictate the shape of Marysville’s future purely according to their business plan. The time is ripe for bringing federal, state, community and corporate interests to the table to chart a solution. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@ comcast.net.

Community Transit announces service cuts BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com
MARYSVILLE — Hampered by a year of reduced sales and tax revenue, Community Transit has announced that it will cut nearly 20 percent of its service, beginning in February of 2012. “This is really hard on us,” Marysville resident Maggie Lambert said. “My son and my husband are commuters and this is bound to affect them eventually. All we can do is go and make our comments heard.” A public hearing before the Board of Directors will take place at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, July 7, at the Rosehill Community Center in Mukilteo. The public can also learn about CT’s
three alternatives on how cuts can be made by visiting www.communitytransit. org/2012changes. The cut in service, however, is not new to Community Transit. In 2010, Community Transit cut service by 15 percent which included the suspension of all Sunday service and six major holidays, as well as the elimination of eight routes. “Last year when we cut Sunday service we told riders that would be the first priority for bringing back service,” Community Transit spokesperson Martin Munguia said. “At this point we are not in a position to bring back service. Still we are presenting an option that does restore a minimal level of Sunday service because we
recognize that some people depend on bus service seven days a week.” Community Transit has publicized three alternatives, all of which would cut 80,000 hours of service, according to Munguia. Two alternatives would allow the company to retain the majority of its current network of routes and one would restore minimal Sunday service. “I am concerned about their Sunday service,” said Oliva Suter, 56, who waited for a Community Transit bus in Arlington Friday, June 17. “I tend to take the bus mostly over the weekend and a cut to Sundays would probably eliminate some of my weekend activities.” Common key points in

all three alternatives include preserving higher ridership along corridors and maintaining cost-effective service. Others include reducing the frequency in which Swift runs going from 10 minutes to 12 minutes. Swift serves a 17-mile route between Everett and Shoreline. “What we found last year when we cut service,”
Munguia said, “was that most people found ways to continue using our bus service either by taking a different bus, changing the location or time where they caught the bus, or in some cases altering their travel habits so they could use our system, such as starting work at a different time.” According to Munguia,
Arlington’s Muniz elected to be state PTA director
Virginia Muniz of Arlington was recently elected as Washington State PTA Region 7 Director for a twoyear term, which began June 1, 2011. The election took place in connection with WSPTA’s 98th Annual Convention held in SeaTac last month. As Region 7 Director, Muniz is responsible for holding offi-
cers’ leadership workshops and providing support for the councils and local units in Region 7, which comprises schools in the Arlington, Darrington, Edmonds, Everett, Granite Falls, Index, Lake Stevens, Lakewood, Marysville, Monroe, Mukilteo, Snohomish, StanwoodCamano and Sultan school districts in Snohomish

service is not likely to be restored anytime soon. “We do not forecast the sales tax to grow to a point of restoring lost service for several years,” Munguia said. “We are working hard at the state and federal levels for new funding that could allow us to begin to grow again, but so far that has not produced results.”

She will also serve on the Association’s governing Board of Directors. “As region director, my focus will be on communication and training. I will be emphasizing communication with other PTAs in the region and networking with other community organizations. I would also like to work with councils to provide additional training opportunities for PTA leaders who are not able to attend region workshops,” Muniz said.

Celebrate Independence Day safely
While the cities of Arlington and Marysville encourage their citizens to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday in a festive manner, the cities’ police officers and firefighters want to make sure that those who choose to use fireworks do so in a safe and legal fashion. The city of Arlington allows fireworks to be sold from 9 a.m. on June 28 to 9 p.m. on July 4, whereas the city of Marysville allows fireworks to be sold from noon to 11 p.m. on June 28 and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on June 29 through July 4. Marysville residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on July 4, while Arlington resi-
dents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. to midnight on July 4. Neither city allows its residents to discharge their fireworks on any other day, and both cities limit their legal fireworks to Class C, or “safe and sane” fireworks. Neighboring Native American reservations may sell fireworks that do not conform to these laws, but such fireworks must be detonated on reservation lands. According to Marysville Fire District Division Chief and Fire Marshal Tom Maloney, fireworks that are illegal off tribal lands include bottle rockets, skyrockets, missiles and firecrackers. M-80s and larger, as well as dynamite and any impro-

vised, homemade or altered explosive devices such as tennis balls, sparkler bombs or cherry bombs are likewise illegal explosive devices, and those who possess or use such illegal explosive devices can expect to be charged with a felony. In its online list of tips to the public, the Arlington Fire Department noted that illegal fireworks are often unpackaged and wrapped in plain brown paper, and warned against purchasing any fireworks that are not in their original packages, or are in opened or damaged packages. Marysville police are taking enforcement of these laws seriously and will be citing those caught with illegal

fireworks between now and the Fourth of July. Under state law, possession or discharge of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to a year in jail and a mandatory court appearance. City of Marysville Community Information Officer Doug Buell pointed out that Marysville police can issue criminal citations to violators or civil citations, the latter similar to a standard ticket. Marysville police may issue a civil infraction, or fine, in an amount up to $500, instead of a criminal citation. The criminal misdemeanor fine is consistent with the standard state penalty of an amount not to exceed $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. Gross misdemeanor offenses carry a fine of up to $5,000 and/or a year in jail, and a person with three or more civil infractions within a two-year time period will be cited for a misdemeanor. Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux explained that such civil infractions enable officers to spend more time on the streets responding to fireworks complaints, and less time processing criminal citation paperwork. He added that the safety of individuals and property is the police department’s
“Illegal fireworks in particular pose a public safety and medical hazard, and they have the potential to cause property damage in the Marysville area.”
Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux Marysville Police Department utmost concern. “Use caution and follow safety rules for responsible use of fireworks,” Lamoureux said. “Illegal fireworks in particular pose a public safety and medical hazard, and they have the potential to cause property damage in the Marysville area.” Although Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield believes that Arlington police are more likely to try and educate those using illegal fireworks, or those using fireworks illegally, she warned that, “If they have to make a repeat trip to your place for fireworks, it’ll probably result in a fine.” Officials in both cities urge Fourth of July holiday revelers to clean up their fireworks after they’re finished. “After you light it up, clean it up,” Buell said. “Discarded fireworks the days after the Fourth are a neighborhood
Jeffrey Lee Burke Jeffrey L e e Bu rke passed away suddenly on Thursday June 16, 2011, in Darrington, WA. He was born on March 4, 1973 to Randy and Diane Burke in Everett, Washington. He loved his daughters, family and friends deeply. He was fond of camouflage, his taxidermy, music and Mountain Berry Ice Cream. Jeff enjoyed deer hunting, riding his motorcycle/ quad, fishing, telling jokes, and Barbequing Chicken (which he was famous for). Jeff had a great sense of humor and always kept everyone laughing. One of his favorite past times was to grade the roads or move dirt….anything he could do from the seat of heavy equipment…always put a smile on his face! He always dreamed of getting a bear, going on a guided hunt, and owning
a yacht, so he could wea r boat shoes. Jeff will be missed very much and leaves t h is world…loved by many. Jeffrey Lee Burke is survived by his wife Tammy Burke and daughters Katie Lee Burke, and Karlee Ann Burke of Arlington, Washington. Also surviving are his parents Randy and Diane Burke of Granite Falls and his Sister Lisa Monaghan of Covington, WA. Grandmother Mona Burke and Grandmother Lydia Watkin. A Memorial Service was held on Thursday June 23, 2011 @ 5:00 pm at the Oso Chapel, with a Memorial Potluck that followed at the Oso Fire Hall. Thank you to ALL who came and shared memories & gave such great Support & LOVE to the family.
eyesore, and smoldering, spent fireworks can still pose a fire hazard if not disposed of properly.” To dispose of spent fireworks properly, the Arlington Fire Department advises that people let their used fireworks lay on the ground until they are cool and there is no chance that any residue will reignite, after which they should place all the expended firework cases in a bucket of water to soak them thoroughly. Those who use fireworks should keep a bucket of water or a running water hose close by in case of a firework malfunction or fire. “Of course, we’d welcome everyone to check out the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s public fireworks display instead,” Banfield said. “Watchers won’t even have to clean up afterward. Plus, we just hate to hear about people losing loved ones or body parts from using fireworks on their own.” For more information, visit the city of Marysville’s fireworks website at http:// mar ysvillewa.gov/index. aspx?nid=362 and the city of Arlington’s fireworks website at http://arlingtonwa.gov/ index.aspx?page=419.

Welcome to Arlington’s 2011 Summer Festival
L
FROM MAYOR MARGARET LARSEN
et the summer festivities begin. Welcome to Arlington’s 2011 Summer Festival, including our famous Frontier Days4th of July, the Arlington Street Fair, and the 43nd annual Fly-In at Arlington Municipal Airport. The 4th of July events kick-off at 7 a.m. with the traditional pancake breakfast prepared by the Snohomish County Fire District No. 21. This is a great time to socialize with friends and community. You can also cheer on the participants of the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon. The Arlington Kiwanis silent and live auctions, also at Haller Park, support local scholarship funds. At 1 p.m. head over to Legion Park where “Marshmallow Madness” will fill the air — come and find out what this is all about! The Grand Parade, sponsored by Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,
starts at 5 p.m. on Olympic Avenue and promises to show off the best of Arlington and our patriotic spirit! The annual Kiddies Parade will again be leading the Grand Parade. Pick your viewing spot on Olympic Avenue early. After the parade, join us once again at Haller Park for the annual Rotary Duck Dash and live music, before heading out to Bill Quake Memorial Park to watch the spectacular fireworks display sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce. The Arlington Fly-In starts on Wednesday, July 6, and continues on through the weekend. The Fly-In draws over 1,000 aircraft and 60,000 visitors annually to Arlington Airport for five days of pure aerospace excitement. The Fly-In promises something for everyone, with new displays, daily air shows, a Kids’ Day, a hot air balloon night glow, and a special Veterans Appreciation Day.
Mayor Margaret Larsen A great new addition this year is a carnival at the Fly-In. In concert with the FlyIn, the Arlington Street Fair packs Olympic Avenue with booths from local artisans and vendors, along with fabulous entertainment and food. The Street Fair kicks off on Friday, July 8, and concludes on Sunday, July 10. Entertainment and oldfashioned fun will be provided at Legion Park. We hope you enjoy yourself at this year’s many activities and make plans to spend a day in Arlington in the near future.

Frontier Days highlight Arlington’s spirit
P
erhaps one of the most impressive aspects of the annual Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration in Arlington is how smoothly it manages to happen each year. “Everyone and no one is in charge of it,” city of Arlington Recreation Coordinator Sarah Higgins laughed. “Each organization handles its own events, but there’s no overall committee.” Julie Morse, past president of the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce, hopes that locals
and visitors alike will make the Frontier Days celebration a full-day event. “It’s such a huge benefit to the community that touches every resident,” Morse said. “We have people who set up their chairs in the morning for the Grand Parade that afternoon.” While Morse is proud that the Chamber can bring the Fourth of July fireworks display to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club each year after dusk, she also expressed enthusiasm for its Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon in the morning.
“That’s my favorite one to watch,” Morse said. “These festivities bring so many new people into Arlington for the day.” Debbie Whitis, treasurer for the Downtown Arlington Business Association and chair of the Arlington Street Fair, which runs from July 8-10, likewise appreciates the family fun that the Frontier Days celebration offers. “There’s so much going on in that one day,” said Whitis, “The Purse Lady” of Arlington. “It’s a huge event for such a small town. My family is looking forward to

it. I think I might even enter my grandkids in one of the parades so they can throw candy out of my purses.” One new event that both Morse and Whitis are looking forward to on July 4 is the Chamber’s firstever “Mini-Marshmallow Madness,” from 1-3 p.m. in Legion Park, which began as a bid for a world record. “The original intention was to get into Guinness for the world’s biggest food fight,” Chamber Executive Director Michael Prihoda said. “But [Guinness has] since decided that they no longer want to be involved in an event that wastes food, if you can even call marshmallows a ‘food.’” Prihoda explained that most of Legion Park would be roped off for this event, and divided up into different areas for specific age groups. “They’ll be able to shoot mini-marshmallows at targets with ‘marshmallow blasters,’ which are basically PVC pipes that let you blow marshmallows out with all the force that your lungs can muster,” Prihoda said. “My grandson can shoot a marshmallow about eight to 10 feet, but grown-ups can

Arlington’s veterans participate in the 2010 Grand Parade. shoot marshmallows about 30-40 feet.” “My grandkids have already been practicing for the big marshmallow fight,” Whitis said. “We’re hoping to get as many as 1,000 people to turn out for this event,” Morse said. Prihoda assured prospective attendees that the size and softness of the marshmallows ensures that they can’t harm anything that they’re shot at, nor can anything else be shot out of the marshmallow blasters. After the various age groups have had their opportunities to play target practice, the “madness” part of the event begins at 2:30 p.m., with a marshmallow-blasting battle
between the participants. “The Chamber will be selling its own blasters for a small fee, but the event itself is free and open to everyone, from ages 4 to 94, although we’ll look the other way and let in folks who are 95 and 96 too,” Prihoda laughed. “Even though it won’t be for a world record, we’re still trying to get as many people involved as we can.” Prihoda added that prizes of candy and gift baskets would be awarded to those who did the best jobs of hitting their targets. For more information, contact event organizer David Mathieson by phone at 360-435-2419 or via email at david.mathieson.ndaw@ statefarm.com.

Firefighters were kept very busy during last year’s Pancake Breakfast.
Firefighters serve up breakfast
T
he Arlington Rural Fire Department is hosting its annual Pancake Breakfast at Haller Park to kick off the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration. Breakfast begins at 7 a.m. and runs until 10 a.m. For $5 you get pancakes, eggs and sausage. The proceeds from the event go to the Arlington Fire Association. “I really enjoy doing this for the community,” event organizer and Arlington fireman Rick Isler said. “This is a special day for us all. We have all the festivities leading up to the parades and so our event has become the cornerstone for our community, probably because we feed them.” Last year the firefighters sold more than 1,000 breakfasts. This year Isler expects the same turnout. “This year we expect to do at least that number if not way more,” Isler said. “We have a lot of help so we aren’t completely buried.”
More than 25 firefighters, family and volunteers will light up the grill at 5 a.m. in preparation for what is sure to be a busy day of flipping and scrambling. “It’s fun, but it’s nice when it is over,” Isler said. “We’ve been doing this for either 26 or 28 years, so we’ve become pretty good at it. It can be a very hectic day. But it is a fun time.” The Arlington Firefighters Association receives 100 percent of the proceeds, all of which go toward various expenditures throughout the year. Over the Christmas holiday the association uses some of its fundraising proceeds to participate in the Adopt-A-Family program as well as other charitable deeds. “The proceeds allow us to adopt a family during the holidays. They also go toward equipment we might need and they go toward the supplies we use, as well as the quality of sausage we use for the pancake breakfast,” Isler said.
s part of the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration, the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce is hosting its highly anticipated Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon, beginning at 10 a.m., July 4, at Haller Park. Registration begins at 8 a.m. “This is a fun event for both the competitors and the people and families who are just out to have a good time,” event organizer Rob Putnam said. “Some of the Iron men and women really compete, and some fami-
lies like to compete against other families.” The triathlon covers 15.8 miles of three interconnected routes, including a 5.8-mile biking leg that begins at Haller Park and winds through town. It goes along State Route 530 and down to Jordan Road and then to the boat launch. Competitors will then embark on a 6-mile canoe or kayak ride down the Stillaguamish River. Racers will paddle their way along the South Fork of the Stilly River and then to the beach at Haller Park. The final leg
15
of the triathlon is the 2-mile run that begins at the boat landing. Runners will make their way through Haller Park en route to Division Avenue. They will follow the flags to the west end of the park and eventually head onto SR 530 where they will cross the bridge and make their way back to the finish line at Haller Park. There are four categories in which contestants can sign up including open team, individual, family and Iron men or Iron women.

Rotary ‘Duck Dash’ raises funds for the community
he Rotary Club of Arlington not only has a new chair for this year’s “Duck Dash,” but has also received enough support to sport a brand new feature on its tickets. Linda Byrnes is chairing the annual fundraiser this year, which will once again launch its yellow rubber ducks into the Stillaguamish River near Lincoln Bridge at 7:30 p.m. on July 4. As always, the roughly 12,000 ducks will finish their “dash” at Haller Park.
• Flagstone • River Rock • Slate Tile • PA Bluestone
Cash awards of $5,000 will go to the first-place finisher, $2,000 to second place, $1,000 to third and $100 to the fourth- through 10th-place finishers. The 11th- through 20th-place finishers will receive free Duck Dash T-shirts. The Arlington Duck Dash has raised more than $600,000 over the years for the Arlington Food Bank, the Stillaguamish Senior Center, the American Cancer Society’s Relay For Life, and the city of
Arlington’s parks, trails and play fields, as well as the Arlington Cocoon House, Kids Kloset, Little League and Boys & Girls Club. Those same Duck Dash proceeds have also funded scholarships for Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington students, as well as Arlington school drama, music and robotics clubs. According to Byrnes, the Arlington Food Bank has become a fundraising priority for the Duck Dash once more, since construc-

tion on the Food Bank’s new facility is set for this year. “We want to take a leadership role in continuing to support the important programs we’ve already been supporting,” Byrnes said. Although she acknowl-
edged that staging the Duck Dash is “not inexpensive,” Byrnes credited the sponsors of this year’s Duck Dash with paying for 100 percent of its expenses, which means that 100 percent of the money that’s spent on purchasing each
Duck Dash ticket goes directly back into the community. Tickets can be purchased at the Arlington Pharmacy or at Haller Park after the Grand Parade. For more information, log onto www. greatstillyduckdash.com.

aller Park will once again serve as the site for two silent auctions and one live auction by the Arlington Kiwanis Club on July 4. The Arlington Kiwanis Club added an early silent auction to the Arlington Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration two years ago. According to event coordinator David Boulton, the Kiwanis Club put breaks between its 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. silent auctions, as well as its live auction at noon, to allow attendees to drift in and out of each auction, as well as to afford auction organizers opportunities to clean up after each one. “Scheduling our auctions at these times lets us capture the folks who are already there at Haller Park for the Pancake Breakfast and the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon,” Boulton said. “The spectators can spend a lot of time waiting for the racers so, in the meantime, they’ll have opportunities to spend some money and support Arlington and Lakewood students.” Boulton estimated that the Arlington
Kiwanis auctions have been going on for the past 15 years, starting across the street from the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce back when its offices were located near Legion Park. He sees the auctions’ current venue, with its proximity to other Frontier Days events, as a way of capitalizing even more on what he deemed an already impressive level of community spirit in Arlington. “There’s a sense of excitement about all of this in Arlington that you just don’t get from other communities’ festivities,” said Boulton, who singled out area merchants for contributing so generously to the auctions. “It’s almost all local stuff that’s up for bid, and we like to keep it that way,” Boulton said. “Most of it comes from Arlington and Marysville businesses who have donated their products to this good cause. They’re supporting Arlington, so we want to support them right back. You don’t need to drive down to Seattle to be able to enjoy these prizes.”

Families love Arlington’s Kiddies Parade
he boys and girls of Arlington have an opportunity to upstage their elders. Perhaps that’s what makes an opening act shine. In cooperation with Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics and the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,
kids 12 and under can take part in the Kiddies Parade in Arlington’s Fourth of July celebration beginning at 4:30 p.m. “The kids get to lead off the day in their own parade,” said event organizer Kelly Penny, who has spent the past three months organizing
and preparing for both the Grand and Kiddies parades. “For the kids, they have a much bigger audience and they love that.” Last year more than 100 kids participated in parade. Penny believes that number can be easily reached this year.
“This is always a favorite event for the kids,” Penny said. “There will be a great showing. Whenever you can dress up and walk down Olympic it is a fun day.” Nearly 50 volunteers will be on hand to headup registration, judge entrants and supervise the order in which participants will begin their tour of downtown Arlington. There are three themes kids can choose from —
costume, patriotic and wheels. In years past, kids decorated their bikes or donned creative costumes and marched or rode down the parade route. “I remember coming to this parade long before I got involved with organizing it and I had such a good time,” Penny said. “I am proud to be a part of it. We are going to have a great parade this year.”
Registration for the Kiddies Parade will take place at 3:30 p.m., at the Public Utility District building located at 210 Division St. Printable copies of registration forms can be downloaded off the city of Arlington website, at www.arlingtonwa.gov. To reach Penny, people can call her at 360-618-7849, or stop by the reception desk of Cascade Valley Hospital.

Lyle Forde named grand marshal of Grand Parade
f Lyle Forde was hoping that his retirement from teaching at Arlington High School would free up his schedule, he wasn’t counting on having such a busy summer. After 35 years of leading the choral program at AHS, Forde not only was honored with a retirement concert at the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center on June 18, but he’ll also be serving as the grand marshal for this year’s Frontier Days Fourth of July Grand Parade.
Just as Forde wasn’t quite expecting that not only fellow faculty members, but also past and present students, and even Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson would turn out for his retirement concert to commemorate his legacy, so too was he surprised by his own selection as this year’s grand marshal. “It’s flattering that I was asked, and I’m happy to do it, but I’ve never thought of myself as a pillar of the Arlington community,” Forde said. “I see this role
as more fitting of someone like the mayor. Still, I appreciate that so many people in the community appreciate what I’ve been doing for the past 35 years.” When Forde started teaching at AHS in 1976, he not only added choirs, a guitar class, and a piano and keyboard class during his first few years at the school, but he also changed the focus of the “Swing Choir” into the renamed “Jazzmine” vocal jazzbased choir. He’s repeatedly expressed his gratitude to

the community for its support of the school’s choirs, including their participation in the biannual community choir performances of Handel’s “Messiah,” as well as their consistent attendance of Jazzmine shows and other musical events. Forde hopes to continue teaching, possibly part-time and at the posthigh school level, but he’s also considering seeking employment in boating, since he has his Coast Guard captain’s license and previously fished on the high seas for 12 years. Looking ahead to the more immediate future, Forde can’t wait to participate in “the whole package” of Arlington’s Frontier Days Fourth of July celebration this year. “Celebrations like this are one of the really sweet things about small town U.S.A.,” Forde said. “When Jazzmine went to Russia back in the 1990s, and when our football team has made it to state, the community has always thrown us parades. You just don’t see that in bigger towns.
We’re a much more tightknit community. I always felt that it was part of my job to help connect the schools to the community.” Although he’s no longer part of the Arlington

Grand Parade rolls down Olympic Avenue M arching bands, football teams and dance squads have all participated in the Arlington Fourth of July Grand Parade. This year should be much the same as an eclectic collection of entrants will begin their jaunt down Olympic Avenue in celebration of Independence Day beginning at 5 p.m. Event organizer Kelly Penny believes the more creative an entrant is the more they are remembered. She should know. Penny, who works in cooperation with the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce and the Cascade Valley Hospital, has helped run the parade for the past six years. She also runs the Kiddies Parade. “This has been a lot of work, but I really enjoy putting this together,” Penny said. “Arlington is such a charming town and I think this parade reaffirms it. The parade is like what you would see in a movie, the perfect small town where everyone

knows each other. They all come out in support of the community and that’s what makes it special.” Penny estimates that more than 100 entries will be received. She pointed out, however, that the number of entries does not exactly reflect the number of participants considering each entrant can have many people involved, either onboard a float or walking the parade path.
Former Arlington High School music teacher Lyle Forde, who retired from Arlington on June 23, after 35 years of service, will serve as the festival’s Grand Parade Marshal. Parade registration begins at 2:30 p.m. near the Public Utility District building parking lot, located at 210 E. Division St. Entrants cannot participate if they aren’t registered by 4:30 p.m. Printable registration
forms can be downloaded at the city of Arlington website, at www.arlingtonwa.gov or at the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce website, at www.arlingtonsmokeypointchamber.com. An entry fee of $100 will be charged for participation by any political entry or person running for office in the upcoming election. A $25 fee will be charged for all commercial entries.

Fly-In offers old favorites, new attractions
his year’s Arlington Fly-In is set to bring a host of new features to the Arlington Municipal Airport from July 6-10. Arlington Fly-In Executive Director Barbara Tolbert promised that familiar favorites would be returning, including the daily air shows, static aircraft displays, runway theater, and rides in biplanes, helicopters and warbirds, as well as the Saturday evening hot air balloon “Night
Glow” on July 9. The Wednesday kickoff to the Fly-In is once again “Kids Day,” starting at 9 a.m. on July 6. It will offer hands-on exhibits and activities for youth, with a noon air show to complement lunch. Youngsters will also be able to go on “rides” in a three-axis aircraft simulator through July 10. The Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force will be getting a jump start on the Arlington Fly-In, by making their first-ever
appearance at the Arlington Municipal Airport with its B-17 Flying Fortress “Sentimental Journey.” The vintage World War II bomber will fly in at noon on July 5 and remain on display until its departure on July 11. “You can get an up-close and personal look at a unique piece of aviation history,” Tolbert said. “The public is invited to tour this airplane inside and out. There’ll even be an opportunity for some lucky

individuals to actually take a flight and experience this rare aircraft firsthand.” Other new features of this year’s Fly-In will be a fullfledged carnival, complete with rides and games of chance, as well as a radiocontrolled flight area, where RC pilots can test their skills at unmanned flight. The Northwest Division Pacific Armor Corps will likewise be conducting a series of RC tank battles, demonstrations and team competitions using a variety of tank models and sizes. NORDPAC is a non-profit group of RC tank enthusiasts based in the Pacific Northwest, with members residing in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia, Canada, a number of whom will be on hand to answer questions from the public. The Fly-In’s “Antique Aircraft Day” is scheduled for Friday, July 8, complete with one-of-a-kind restored aircraft and a museum display from the Skagit Aero Museum in the “Barnstormer” area. Sunday will once again mark the Fly-In’s “Salute to Veterans

The Fly-In’s “Military History” area remains a longtime favorite, according to Tolbert, based on the strength of offering the Pacific Northwest’s largest gathering of military vehicles and weapons on display, as well as a Medal of Honor display and visits by a host of WWII veterans, including several Tuskegee Airmen. This year, it’s growing by adding a shooting gallery, jeep rides and WWII tank demonstrations, showcasing the newest
acquisitions by Paul Allen and the Flying Heritage Collection. “On Sunday, our ‘Salute to Veterans’ flight line parade just before the air show will feature some of those unique vehicles,” Tolbert said. “With the celebration of the ‘Centennial of Aviation,’ the Navy will be showcasing a historical display and some special fly-overs on Friday and Saturday.” Check out the Arlington Fly-In website at www. arlingtonflyin.org for a full listing of all its scheduled activities.

Street Fair returns to downtown Arlington July 8-10
T
he 21st annual Arlington Street Fair is set to showcase a variety of food, entertainment and activities in downtown Arlington this year. “The Purse Lady” Debbie Whitis is chairing the weekend event for the first time this year and she promised to preserve its hometown feel while updating a few of its features to make it more convenient for attendees. “The food vendors have always been in the merchant lot in the middle of town,” Whitis said. “I thought it would be nice to be able to sit and enjoy the entertainment as well as great fair food. I moved the food down to the parking lot next to Legion Park so people can sit at a picnic table and enjoy the entertainment while snacking.” The entertainment lineup for this year’s Street Fair aims to keep the crowd on its feet, with the Gamlins band’s performance at Legion Park on July 8 at 4 p.m. leading directly into an Arlington Idol contest starting at 6:30 p.m., with first place winning $100, second
place winning $50 and third place winning $25. Jeff Swanson of Haller Middle School will serve as the contest’s emcee. “Come early to get signed up,” Whitis said. “There’s no need to try out. Just bring your music and perform.” July 9 will see Legion Park hosting Zumba at 10 a.m., belly-dancers at 11 a.m., the Lucky Strikes band at noon and the Shot Gun Aces band at 3 p.m. The Rocket Alley Bar & Grill will also be hosting a band of their own that afternoon in their outdoor beer garden, while the Local Scoop will be setting picnic tables in front of their restaurant for folks to enjoy their ice cream. Arlington’s police and fire chiefs will be providing additional entertainment by sitting in dunk tanks that day at 2 p.m. The Farmer’s Market will have its tents and booths set up on Olympic Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., but more than 100 vendors will be on site from July 8-10, all three days of the Street Fair. July 8 and 9 will likewise offer shuttles to the Arlington FlyIn, while July 10 promises
a performance by the Sauer Kraut Band in Legion Park at noon, as well as a display of military vehicles on Olympic Avenue. Whitis touted the range of goods that will be on sale that weekend, from handmade to commercial, as well as activities including a bouncy house, a pitching machine, putt-putt golf and a 24-foot-tall rock climbing wall. “For the most part, though, it will be as it always has been — a great oldfashioned Street Fair in our quaint little town with a big heart,” Whitis said. “I want to see it grow and make it even more of a great place to spend the weekend with friends and family. I sell purses so I understand a lot of what the vendors need. I am also the secretary for DABA so I try to put the community first.” Whitis has listed all of the Street Fair’s vendors on the Downtown Arlington Business Association website, at http://arlingtonwa.org, and plans on posting a list of the events’ times and locations on the site as well.

Marysville All-Stars ready to hit the diamond BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com
Chris Trujillo/Staff Photo
Marysville Nationals All-Stars ace pitcher J.D. Trueax winds up during practice Saturday, June 25, at Cedar Field.
MARYSVILLE — What’s summer without baseball? For these 13 Little Leaguers, that’s all there is. For their age, they are the best ballers in their conference and they can prove it. The All-Star emblem on their uniforms wasn’t accidently sewn on by their mothers. “In my opinion, these are the best 13 players in the south division,” said Marysville 11 and Under All-Stars Nationals coach John Evans, who has coached Little League off and on for the past 17 years. “They play hard and they play better than anyone else. That’s why they are out there.” The Nationals are made up of players from five teams in the Marysville South Division and they will have their chance to show just how good they are when they play in the District 1, 11 and Under All-Star tournament beginning July 2, at Freedom Field in Mill Creek. “We have been a power before,” Evans said. “But it’s been a few years. The Mill Creeks and Pacifics have been the powerhouses, and we feel like we have made a turn. We are no longer a two-and-out team. We are going to compete and I think we can go very far.” The Nationals’ pitching rotation begins with right-hander J.D. Trueax, who is known for his blistering fastball.
During a game this past season, Trueax recorded 17 of 18 outs via strikeouts. “When he is on, he can’t be hit off of,” assistant coach Matt Chism said. “He is a very strong right-hander. All the way down our rotation we have excellent pitchers.” This isn’t his first time around the allstar diamond either. In fact, 10 of the 13 players played for the 10 and Under All-Stars in 2010. “It’s nice to have the experience that we have,” Chism said. “There’s a familiarity. And they all have become really good friends, too. That helps our chemistry.” Isaiah Valera is Marysville’s No. 2 pitcher. “He thinks he has a curveball but it is more of a change-up,” Evans said. “It’s a great pitch, though. He really can keep the other batters on their feet.” Aside from a talented pool of pitchers, Evans may be most impressed with his scrappy catcher Jordan Luton. “He is hands down the best catcher in Marysville Little League,” Evans said. “Regardless of age, he is better than any 12-year-old. He has a high pain tolerance. The kid will block any ball thrown at him. He can throw runners out at second base. He’s got a good head for the game. He will run our infield and let the guys know what to do and how to do it.” From the plate, Evans has yet to name
his batting line-up. It’s a daunting task considering his players are the best batters from their respective teams. “We have to sit down and figure that out,” Evans said. “All these kids can hit, that’s why they are here.” Evans’ strategy isn’t entirely about power hitting. With a speedy group of kids, Evans likes the idea of moving them around the bases using traditional baseball tactics. “We’ll play a lot of small ball,” he said. “We have great base runners. We will bunt not so much for base hits, but to move the runners. I am not worried about us scoring.” As for Evans, he got the nod to coach the Nationals after he turned around the Marysville’s Cuz team, which finished with the worst record two seasons ago. This past season, Cuz rebounded and finished with the third best record in the south division. “I like to think I had something to do with it,” Evans said about Cuz’s improved season. “I never asked why or how I was selected. But I am very proud to be coaching these kids. They are super kids.” The District 1 All-Star Tournament is a double-elimination, bracket-style format. A drawing will be held to determine how the bracket will be filled out. “We are excited to get going,” Evans said. “It’s going to be a wild time.”
Skyrocketing fun at Absolute Air Park BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

Absolute Air Park employee Michael Olson takes part in a pick-up Xtreme Dodgeball game Monday, June 27.
Now try throwing a cantaloupesized ball at an opposing player across from you. It’s not exactly you father’s dodgeball, but it’s close. “Xtreme dodgeball is a great way to enjoy a different type of game,” said Cam Bradley, who, with brother Tim Salcedo, opened Absolute Air Park on June 14. “There’s only a few places like this around, so we knew we had something big. The ideas are limitless.” Ricocheting off the padded walls or executing a double flip might be exhilarating, but they’re maneuvers that may keep you in the game a little longer. That’s the idea, stay in for as long as possible. “We had a few adults watching a game the other night,” said Bradley, a Marysville-Pilchuck High School graduate. “And we asked them if they wanted to play. They said no, but you know a few minutes later they were jumping around and they were really loving the game. It was hard to get them out.” The dodgeball court, or “arena” as Bradley and Salcedo refer to it, sits next to the Rebound Room, a court twice the size of the “arena.” Above the room is an observation deck which will serve as an eating
area once the homemade pizzeria is opened sometime this summer. “We have so much going on,” Bradley said. “You can watch a football game on one of your TVs while you enjoy some pizza or while taking a break.” You might just need that break. After just a few minutes you are sure to be drowning in sweat. “We have studied the sport of rebounding,” Salcedo said. “And we learned that it is 68 percent more effective than jogging. That was actually published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.” Salcedo has big plans for Xtreme Dodgeball. Leagues and tournaments start Tuesday, July 12, beginning at 8 p.m. Teams will play three games per night. “We called FEDEX and UPS,” Bradley said. “And they want to play each other. It’s a great game to get everyone involved.” Absolute Air, 18802 67th Avenue N.E., also offers fitness and aerobic classes. Absolute Air is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit www. absoluteairpark.com or call 1-855788-5867.

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx

TAX SERVICES Q: I am a college student and I worked as a waitress at a local restaurant for part of last year. Since I reported all my tips to my employer must I pay taxes on the allocated tips listed on my W-2 on my tax return, or can I just pay taxes on what I received?
Enrolled Agent
A: Generally, yes you must report and pay taxes on the allocated tips. Allocated tips are tips assigned to the employee in addition to the tips the employee reports to the employer. One reason an employer my allocate tips is because the employee reported less than their share of 8 percent of all food and drink. If you have kept a complete, detailed daily tip record that shows you received fewer tips than those allocated by your employer, then you should report your actual rather than the allocated tips on you tax return.

Soroptimist, Kiwanis award scholarships BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
MARYSVILLE — As he neared his own retirement as pastor of the Marysville United Methodist Church, Dr. Tom Albright repeated a refrain to the nine Marysville students that he’s told several graduating seniors this year. “You’re approaching not only your graduation, but your commencement,” Albright told the nine recipients of scholarships from Soroptimist International of Marysville and the Marysville Kiwanis Club on
June 7. “This is not an ending, but a beginning.” Albright urged the students not to let their education be reduced to mere job training, and to be conscious of how seemingly minor decisions can yield significant results for the rest of their lives. Foy Cordner dispensed the Soroptimist Gift of $1,500 to MarysvillePilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC Cadet Lt. j.g. Jasmine Iglesias, who plans to major in business administration at Washington State University. The Career and
Technical Education Award of $1,500 went to Nancy Olivarez of Marysville Mountain View High School, whom presenter Maryanne Pauley praised for pursuing non-traditional career fields for women, while also balancing the responsibilities of her studies and single motherhood. M-PHS counselor Scott Stokes followed by handing out scholarships of $1,500 each to M-PHS Valedictorian Kyla Yorkoski, Salutatorian Nina Tran and student Jewel Le Valley, whose GPAs are 4.0, 3.99 and 3.99, respec-

Le Valley’s ACT score puts her in the top 3 percent of all students in the nation and she plans on attending WSU. Tran will be attending the University of Washington with the ultimate goal of opening her own dance studio. Yorkoski enters Western Washington University after attending four years of “the most rigorous curriculum available to her,” according to Stokes, all while helping her single mother care for her two younger brothers. Career counselor David Carpenter presented scholarships of $1,000 to Sam
Josephson and $500 to Thomas Esser. Both will be heading off to UW, with Josephson aiming for a career as a medical anesthesiologist, while Esser will be entering college as a junior. The final three scholarships went to Marysville Getchell High School students Meghan O’Brien and Lubna Khalfe, who received $1,500 each, and Chandler Forsythe, whose title of “Student of the Year” was accompanied by a $2,000 award. O’Brien hopes that studying psychology at Central Washington
University will lead to a career in counseling veterans who are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, while Khalfe expects to transfer from Everett Community College into WWU or UW to study mathematics. Just as Khalfe was commended for her work as a student mentor, so too was Forsythe singled out for volunteering more than 100 hours at the Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, and also earning the title of “Bio-Med Academy Girl of the Year.”

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington is taking suggestions for a proper name for the property otherwise known as Country Charm Conservation Area. This 139-acre piece of property was purchased in 2010 with the goals of preserving floodplain processes and fish and wildlife habitat, and providing recreational opportunities for the citizens of Arlington and the surrounding community. The acreage is the former farmland of Hank and Betty Graafstra who operated a dairy
and a county store, Country Charm Dairy. The city purchased the lowland area of the farm that is adjacent to the Stillaguamish River and consists of floodplain, riparian, and wetland areas. The master plan for the area includes recreational facilities such as an off-leash pet area, camp ground, walking trails, beach area, and open play fields. This is an ongoing project, as funding is limited. Bill Blake, natural resource manager for the city, has been working with volunteers and
donors on implementing the recreation areas. The city’s policy is to consider public input when naming parks. The Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council as to which proposed name best suits the facility. The proposed names will be discussed at the July 26 Park, Arts and Recreation Commission meeting. If you have an idea for naming this park, please contact Sarah Higgins at shiggins@ arlingtonwa.gov or call 360403-3448.

As evidence mounts linking gum disease to other serious conditions such as heart disease and even premature birth among pregnant women, dentists and hygienists have been highlighting the importance of maintaining the health of the gums. Not only is it critical to brush and floss twice daily at home, patients are strongly encouraged to undergo professional dental cleanings to prevent or alleviate inflammation of the gums (“gingivitis”). Otherwise, if left untreated, gum disease may lead to a more serious condition, chronic periodontitis. This advanced form of gum disease can result in bone and tooth loss. In addition, research indicates that periodontitis also increases the risk of developing head and mouth cancers, especially in the mouth and throat. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have on the subject of gum disease. We offer complete periodontal health services for the whole family. At the office of Beth A. Gold, D.D.S., we want to do more than meet your expectations – we want to exceed them. We’re located at 5100 Grove St., Suite A, where we make it a point to get to know you and the specific needs of your family. It’s important to us. Please call 360.659.6732 to schedule an appointment. Having nice looking teeth gives a boost to health and happiness. “A Foundation for Health.”
