TULALIP — For the Tulalip Tribes, it’s a means of maintaining not only their lands, but also their culture. Precision Thinning began grooming 88 acres of two 28-year-old stands of Douglas Fir trees on the Tulalip Tribes reservation in late June, thinning them from an average of 400 down to 160 trees per acre. The Tribes aim not only to foster healthier trees and a richer ecosystem, but also to provide their peoples with places to forage and hunt, which are important parts of their heritage.

“By taking out smaller competing trees, you leave more room for larger trees that will yield higher value down the line,” Tulalip Tribes Forester Russell Moses said, before showing two segments of tree trunks, both 20 years old, to compare the size of trees in thinned versus non-thinned stands. The trunk segment from the thinned stand was much thicker. “You get better quality trees,” Tulalip Tribes Forestry Technician Ross Fenton agreed, as he noted that thinning also reduces the risk of forest fires over the long term. “The loggers SEE FOREST, PAGE 2

Washington state Rep. Kirk Pearson explains his nuanced position on tax incentives when asked to sign off on a ‘community commitment’ checklist from ‘OUR Marysville’ and Working Washington on July 6.

MARYSVILLE — City and state elected officials met with members of “OUR Marysville” and Working Washington to discuss corporate tax loopholes and shortfalls in funding for education. Jennings Park hosted Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, state senators Nick Harper and Mike Sells, and state Rep. Kirk Pearson on July 6, as Crystal Blanco of OUR Marysville — with “OUR” standing for “Organization United for Reform” — identified the membership of the group as 85 lowto moderate-income families who believe in being positive and proactive.

Linda Wright of Working Washington then introduced a row of students from Sunnyside Elementary who had taken part in a “sing-in” on June 30 to support their music teacher, whose days at their school were reduced for the coming school year. “Our children don’t deserve to suffer because we can’t fund music programs,” Wright said. When Blanco presented a “community commitment” checklist to the four elected officials, Nehring agreed to write a letter to JPMorgan Chase Bank, whose Marysville branch was the site of a protest by OUR Marysville and Working Washington on June 24, asking them to fund the SEE CONCERNS, PAGE 2

CONCERNS FROM PAGE 1 Marysville School District for $5 million. He also pledged to bring the matter before his neighboring fellow mayors. “I’m willing to help in any way that I can,” Nehring said. “I have good working relationships with other mayors, so I’m happy to give this topic a fair hearing during our meetings.” Harper and Sells likewise checked off their portions of the community commitment, agreeing with OUR Marysville and Working Washington’s calls for them to work to expand basic health coverage among povertystricken state residents and to fully fund education as per the state Constitution by the end of the 2013 Legislative session. They also pledged to form a tax committee to close tax loopholes, such as those for out-of-state banks, to help

restore funding cuts to education and health care. Sells agreed with Harper that such measures would not solve the state’s problems with education entirely, and added that he’s joined the legal fight against the current two-thirds majority vote requirement. “I support the concept of closing certain tax loopholes,” said Pearson, who declined to sign off on the community commitment checklist due to what he sees as the complexity of the issue. “If there’s a specific bill you want me to sign, I’ll look at it, and my doors are always open to working with your groups, but things like medical supplies technically fall under those loopholes and I don’t want to do anything that could hurt seniors or the poor.” Pearson pointed out that he’s supported basic health, sponsored an “education first” draft bill and made it “my

crusade” to restore interest rate caps on credit cards. At the same time, he acknowledged that he does not support repealing the two-thirds requirement, which he worried could be used to expand taxes that could hurt the poor and middle class. “It’s not just about taxes, but tax exemptions,” Sells countered. “I’ll admit that I’ve supported tax exemptions if they’ve kept jobs in the area. The two-thirds vote for taxes is not a problem, but for loopholes, it’s a problem.” Sells bluntly told the crowd that bank chains like Chase draw their influence over the state Legislature from having “lots of money and lobbying power.” Harper identified groups such as OUR Marysville and Working Washington as the antidote to this status quo, since “having a roomful of voters in front of them reminds Legislators who they’re working for.”

FOREST FROM PAGE 1 we’ve talked to have said that wildlife has already started to move right into the thinned stands.” Precision Thinning’s coowners, Roger Melton and Brian Aungst, conduct the thinning themselves with a processor and a forwarder, two machines that cut the trees down to logs and move them out of the stands without damaging the forest floor. Tulalip Tribes spokesperson Francesca Hillery noted that the shared goal of the company and the Tribes is to minimize the impact on the forest floor which the company also does with weight-distributing tires. Tulalip Tribes Wildlife Manager Mike Sevigny explained that the stand near the reservation’s Fire Trail Road would be cleared out around next year for a planting similar to the one in its Middle Meadow property which was planted in the fall of 2009. He cited the variety of species that have been placed in those areas and have been spotted in increasing numbers over time, both by visitors to those sites and by on-site tracking cameras. “With a closed canopy it was sterile with not a lot of undergrowth,” said Sevigny,

We’ve even spotted does with fawns. This gives a higher survival rate to their young.” Sevigny acknowledged that forest stands tend to thin themselves naturally over the course of hundreds of years, but cited Tribal thinning efforts as a way of avoiding what he deemed the “boomand-bust cycle” of natural thinning. Tulalip Tribes Wildlife Biologist Jason Schilling added that this thinning not only increases the numbers of game and

non-game animal species alike, but has also fostered traditional Tribal plant gathering species in those areas, to provide for both hunters and foragers. “We lost a lot of our traditions and our territory, so it’s important to take care of what we have to pass it on to future generations,” Tulalip Tribes Rediscovery Coordinator Inez Bill said. “When we harvest, we don’t take everything from an area, but we take little bits. We do it with respect, according to our values. We offer classes to our community so we can show them and teach them and share the stories that set us apart. If you don’t take care of a gift, you’ll lose it.”

Cats that survived tornado land in Arlington BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Municipal Airport received some precious (and furry) cargo on July 1. More than 50 cats and kittens from the tornadoravaged city of Joplin, Mo., were collected by representatives of the Northwest Organization for Animal Help in Stanwood and the Progressive Animal Welfare Society in Lynnwood, after receiving their initial examination on the tarmac. Sue Clement, senior web director of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Seattle, explained that she’d spent the past month in Joplin. Of the roughly 1,300 pets that were displaced by the May 22 tornado, she noted that nearly 500 were reunited with their owners, while the remaining 745 became the subject of a nationwide “adopt-a-thon.” “We were thrilled that N.O.A.H. and PAWS could take in so many cats, since it’s not often that shelters can take more of them, especially with as many kitties and nursing moms as we’ve got,” said Clement, who added that the ASPCA and

the Joplin Humane Society jointly organized the trip. Lee Lucky, the spay/neuter clinic manager for N.O.A.H., pointed out that the kittens are too young for such surgery. As such, Kelly Hill, the interim executive director of N.O.A.H., will see to it that those kittens remain in foster care until then. “We’ve already got their foster homes all lined up,” Hill said. Rebecca Oertel, foster care coordinator for PAWS, reported that her group had trained four new foster families, whom she deemed “my heroes,” to care for most of their own kittens. “In the meantime, we’re doing triage on the cats tonight, until they’re fed and tucked in,” Lucky said on July 1. Lucky added that PAWS would receive two mother cats and their litters, while N.O.A.H. would receive three mother cats and their litters, as well as four other adult cats. Of the remaining kittens, 12 went to PAWS while 18 went to N.O.A.H. Because the majority of those kittens were already suffering from various stages of upper respiratory infections when they were loaded

is to get [these cats] fed and healthy.” Mark Coleman, community relations manager for PAWS, praised the ASPCA for its role in coordinating this outreach. “It’s pretty remarkable that they were able to put this together across the country,” Coleman said. “We’re

ARLINGTON — Terrace Park is once again a hot spot for summer fun for the whole family through the month of July. City of Arlington Recreation Coordinator Sarah Higgins explained that this year’s events and activities in the park will be a mix of new attractions and familiar favorites. “Karaoke Nights was something that we started last year,” Higgins said. “It was a lot of fun for folks who wanted to sing in a nonthreatening environment,” she laughed. By contrast, the Zumba Night is an entirely new feature this year. “Our boot camp instructor is leading that one, although she won’t be doing it with her boot camp personality,” Higgins laughed. Higgins expressed just as much enthusiasm for this year’s series of outdoor movies, as well as the “Shakespeare in the Park” performance at the end of the month. “Last Leaf Productions has

It’s old-fashioned family fun for people who can stay out past 9 p.m.,” she laughed. The Terrace Park Amphitheater is located at 809 Fifth St. in Arlington, and audience members are advised to bring a chair or blanket.

Aviators camp starts July 25 ARLINGTON — Out of the Blue Aviation wants the prospective pilots of the future to know that they still have openings available at the Young Aviators Summer Camp at the Arlington Municipal Airport.

IN OUR VIEW

A chance to help the United Way help us

he United Way of Snohomish County is asking for our help to enable them to better serve our SCOTT FRANK community. MANAGING One of the many programs they EDITOR have is their focus on youth academic achievement and they are asking for our input to help them provide the programs and support needed to ensure that their 10-year education goals can be met. “United Way of Snohomish County is leading positive change that transforms our community and improves people’s lives. That is why we want to hear from you. Education is essential for a better life and stronger community. We believe that caring adults and supportive communities provide children and youth with the experiences and support they need in order to achieve optimal development and success in school and life. That’s why United Way is helping children enter kindergarten ready to learn, excel in school and graduate on-time. We are working in the Lake Stevens and Marysville communities to increase that number and we need your help,” according to Lynn Lewis, senior manager, education, United Way of Snohomish County. Lewis said that in an effort to gather community input the United Way of Snohomish County has sent out approximately 6,000 surveys to homes in Marysville and Lake Stevens. She noted that approximately two-thirds, or about 4,000, of the surveys were mailed to homes in Marysville. The completed surveys need to be postmarked and returned no later than Friday, July 15. Information gathered from the surveys, which take about 15 minutes to complete, will be used to develop future strategies and partnerships in the community that will help children enter school ready to learn, succeed in school and graduate on-time (within four years). The United Way of Snohomish County has set forth some 10-year Academic Achievement goals to help students succeed. They focus on Literacy in English and Math, Social/Emotional Development, Parent Engagement and Community Support. The information and insight gathered from the completed surveys will help the United Way of Snohomish County meet those goals. It’s our chance to tell them how we think they can best serve our community and we shouldn’t fail to take advantage of that opportunity. If you’ve received a survey, take a few minutes to fill it out and send it back. You’ll be helping to ensure that the United Way of Snohomish County is best able to meet the needs of our community and improve youth academic achievement.

Are students’ buses necessarily yellow?

fter a quick breakfast everyone heads out. Mom and Dad to workplaces, the kids to different schools. Mom and Dad travel in separate cars. The kids mosey down the street to two school bus stops, one for secondary, one for elementary. Maybe a block farther than last year to help cut transportation costs. Schools everywhere are struggling to meet their obligation to the public on trimmed-back budgets. Exuberant school boards that toyed with program expansions before the bubble burst have turned grim. Necessary cuts are met with justified howls of anguish and more bloodletting is expected before it’s over. Schools are financed by tax revenue that continues to fall. Money derived from school bonds is based on assessed property valuations and for the first time, my latest valuation showed a drop. Not inspecting every detail of school finance for possible savings would be as silly as the GOP’s rejection of protecting tax breaks for the ultra rich. If there’s such a thing as being on top of a bottomless problem, Marysville’s school board and administration are addressing everything in sight for savings while working to make cuts as painless as possible. So what about bus transportation? They could cut the number of stops in the name of increased exercise for teens. Even in good times, planners tweak routes and schedules to get the biggest bang for the transportation buck so there’s little to gain there. And there’s the inflexible body of school law that prescribes schools’ responsibilities for ensuring

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

safe passage of students from home to school and back. School transportation in Washington constitutes a vast empire. A total of 9,300 buses travel the equivalent of a trip to the moon a back each day. Many fleets are district owned and operated, like Marysville’s. Other districts have opted to privatize, contracting with Durham Transportation for equipment and drivers. To privatize or not privatize may not be the question. A third option calls for careful analysis of evolving programs to determine if certain of a district’s transportation needs might best met by public buses. This is done elsewhere when individual students need transport to other campuses where special electives are offered. It is fairly common for juniors and seniors from area high schools to ride CT buses to Everett Community College or the Skill Center near Paine Field. Homeschooled students taking advantage of lab classes in public schools would like the possibility of using public transport for the limited part of the day they spend on campus. We’re faced with constriction of school transportation services at the same time Community Transit announced a 20 percent cut in services effective February 2012. With school busing and Community Transit dialing back service, plan-

ners in both systems are casting about for more affordable ways to get riders from A to B. Economists would leap to the judgment that our total transportation system suffers from specialized redundancy. Too many systems serve the same population on the same turf. Kids do ride city buses here and there. King County is floating a deal with Metro to market low-price passes to students. Public buses in Virginia’s Montgomery and Prince George counties haul kids to and from school. Bay City Michigan issues student passes for city buses. Los Angeles uses Metro buses to transport students to special events and field trips. As of 2006, students at Seattle’s Ballard and Franklin high schools began commuting via Metro with special student passes. The move that idled a number of yellow buses was anticipated to save $2 million per year. The change wasn’t without problems. Experience told that rather than students being at risk among adult riders, adults are often offended by teenagers’ language and behavior. The L.A. example is quite creative. It reserves a.m. and p.m. hours for commuters, using slack hours to move kids to special school events. Following that model, planners might seek out opportunities to cut deals with CT that would put needed revenue in CT coffers while trimming a bit from school district expenses. Would it work? One can’t know until opportunities for cooperation are defined and the right questions asked. SEE BUSES, PAGE 7

What diversity, arts and attractive cityscape have in common

hen I took office as Mayor last summer, I kept focused on our long-term priorities of economic development to create a regional manufacturing and light industry job center, delivery of highcaliber public safety services and improving transportation infrastructure within the limits of available funding. At the same time, I had three community initiatives in mind for some time that I wanted to get off the ground in my first year, aspects that are important to the identity of a city our size: diversity and inclusiveness, the arts, and clean streets and neighborhoods. What makes these initiatives unique is that in each case citizens were the catalyst for taking them from a conceptual idea to meeting room tables where local community and business leaders are defining how these initiatives will benefit Marysville. These initiatives are citizen-generated from the “bottom up,” grassroots level rather than from the too often used “top down” approach where government dictates the terms. These initiatives are low in cost but high in value they will bring through enhancing

Marysville’s quality of life. In these tight budget times, that’s a responsible approach. Here is a look at the initiatives in more detail: Diversity As the layer of government closest to its citizens, it is important that the city identify and prioritize issues concerning diversity and inclusion to ensure that the diverse character of our city is represented in decisionmaking processes. That is the purpose behind the Mayor’s Diversity Advisory Committee created last November, with thanks in part to community member Marvetta Toler, who now serves on the Committee and City’s Planning Commission. The 20-member Committee is well on its way to developing an initial two-year work plan that will outline the goals and expectations of the Committee for the years 2012-2013. The

Areas where Committee members are focusing attention include: education, government, business/workforce, outreach and engagement, arts and culture, partnerships with community stakeholders, law and justice, and children and families. The Committee hopes to reveal the work plan in November 2011. The experience and wisdom gained from this first plan will lay the foundation for how Marysville evolves as a community that recognizes that cultural understanding, mutual respect and inclusivity are important social and economic assets. Concrete successes in support of diversity and inclusiveness that yield measurable results will be recognized and acknowledged. Our vision is to help Marysville become a welcoming and inclusive community that takes pride in our diversity, taking meaningful steps

people becomes essential. A part of this evolution should be a degree of cooperation between bus fleets that benefits both. It would be a thorny issue to sort out and any savings would constitute a small bit of the shortfall. And there is a mishmash of Washington State RCWs, federal law and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction policy to deal with. Further,

to create a sense of belonging and achieving equality of opportunities for all residents. Arts and culture The arts are an essential part of any great city. They are important to Marysville’s culture and our economy. I am an advocate for the arts, and Marysville has plenty of talented people and groups from all forms of movement and visual arts who bring creative energy to our community. Through the persistence of community members who share this same belief, an Arts Coalition formed and began meeting last April. This is not a committee established through city ordinance; the group is community-based and committed to bringing the arts into Marysville. While the city does not have the available resources such as funding and staff support to put behind the Coalition, I have offered technical assistance from city staff and guidance on issues such as grant writing and grant resources, facilities, in addition to a willingness to assist the Coalition with bringing to the table potential sponsors, arts benefactors and key community stakeholders. The Coalition is currently meeting monthly. It got a huge

boost in inspiration when a group of educators and others working within the Marysville School District who were embarked on a similar mission began attending the meetings. It is my hope that the Coalition will achieve some short-term successes to gain credibility and momentum, while devising long-term plans to develop a more visible arts culture in our community that gives artisans a place to innovate and increases access for all ages to tap their own creativity. Neighborhood enhancement and curb appeal You may have noticed that Marysville Public Works Department crews in recent weeks have been painting and striping roadways, putting some luster back into city gateways and rights-of-way at levels not seen in a decade and encouraging Adopt-a-Street litter control pickups, while other departments are turning the heat up on graffiti activity. City employees care about curb appeal and a more attractive cityscape. They take pride in their work, and the message it sends to citizens. We want to recognize people who take that same pride in cleanliness, appeal and livability where they live or work. Their efforts reflect well on the community, and could inspire others to do the same.

This idea grew in part out of conversations I had with longtime Marysville resident Cheryl Deckard, who was growing more disillusioned by the general lack of cleanliness around her hometown. In that light, I am creating a neighborhood enhancement award program that would recognize a homeowner and block or neighborhood for visual attractiveness and landscaping improvements, as well as a business award for street-side appeal. These annual awards by category — individual, block/ neighborhood and business — would be chosen annually from a group of nominees, recognized at a City Council meeting, and presented with a special, engraved yard marker honoring their naming as a recipient. If you have ideas and comments about the neighborhood award program, I invite you to attend my next Coffee Klatsch from 10-11:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 14 in the Ken Baxter Community Center, 514 Delta Ave. These gatherings are generally informal sessions where topics are steered by questions from residents. This time, I have set aside a block of time to hear your thoughts on the neighborhood enhancement award program. You can also contact me at mayor@marysvillewa.gov or 360-363-8091.

Rotary presents Paul Harris Fellowship Awards BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Rotary Club of Marysville not only installed its new officers for the year on June 29, but also honored several community members with the Rotary’s highest recognition, the Paul Harris Fellowship Awards. The awards are named for the founder of Rotary International and are intended to honor those who exemplify the Rotary motto of “service above self.” Incoming International Foundation Director Terry Brandon and Sergeantat-Arms Brent Castano received plaques and pins for their first Paul Harris Fellowship Awards for donating $1,000 each to the Rotary Foundation. Steve Ahmann, David Edmonds, incoming President Chris Nation and Dr. Larry Nyland then received pins again for their second Paul Harris Fellowship Awards for donating $2,000 each to the Rotary Foundation. Incoming Vice President Daryn Bundy presented Bob Banks with a Paul Harris Fellowship Award not only

He turned serious when he noted her efforts to prevent the exploitation of young women, as well as her deep involvement in her church. “If you ask her for something, she does it.

Former Marysville Mayor Dennis Kendall gave Marysville Police Cmdr.

Outgoing Sergeant-atArms Mike Leighan presented incoming Pumpkins for Literacy Chair Mitch Depriest with an award for getting kids involved in positive activities, through flyfishing and Scouting, before Spilman presented Leighan himself with the Marysville Rotarian of the Year Award for his own commitment to Rotary’s fundraising auctions and Pumpkins for Literacy. “Mike’s commitment was above and beyond even for this group,” Spilman said. “He filled in so many times when no one else could.” Former Rotary District 5050 Governor Larry Jubie and his wife, Linda, will be receiving an Arch Klump Society Award this fall.

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School graduate Ryann Lewis has danced onboard the USS Intrepid, she’s twirled in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty and she’s a mentor to young girls in the community. She also carried a 3.87 grade-point average throughout high school. It’s no wonder she received a Boeing Employees Credit Union academic scholarship. BECU received over 600 submissions and selected just 40 high school seniors for its $2,500 scholarship. In the fall, the 18-year-old will begin her freshman year at Western Washington University. “I didn’t realize that I was selected out of so many people,” said a surprised Lewis. “That makes this all that much more special. I am very proud of this honor.” In order to receive the scholarship, Lewis had to submit the number of hours and the types of community service she performed. She also had to provide her high school transcripts, a letter of recommendation and write an essay describing her most meaningful community service experience.

“I didn’t realize I was selected out of so many people. That makes this all that much more special.” Ryann Lewis BECU scholarship recipient “It was easily my involvement with the Star Energy Dance School,” Lewis said. “I started there when I was 13. I am a senior dancer which means I help the younger girls. I was like a big sister. This year I feel like I had my most leadership responsibilities. I took that very seriously and I wanted to leave my mark on the school.” Aside from mentoring young girls in dance, Lewis also spent time as a volunteer at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club where she was a counselor for the younger kids. The role of counselor as a high school student should come in handy considering she plans on majoring in psychology — at least that’s the direction she’s leaning. A dance major is a close second. Her sterling grade-point average wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. As a junior and senior, she took advanced-placement chemistry, calculus and psychology. “I remember getting a

B-plus in middle school,” Lewis said, “and I came home so mad. But yes I took some very difficult classes and I am really happy I did well in those classes. But I owe it all to my chemistry teacher Mrs. (Deanna) Vaughn. She had so much enthusiasm and you could just tell she has great love for what she does. But mostly she was so approachable and easy to talk to.” Away from the classroom, Lewis is becoming a well-accomplished dancer. She started when she was 3 years old and has yet to stop. Lewis and her Star Energy Dance teammates recently returned from a four-day tour in New York City. They performed for tourists and took in a few Broadway shows. “The trip was absolutely amazing,” Lewis said. “The Statue of Liberty was bigger and better than I ever had thought. We had so much fun and I will always remember that trip.”

Red Rooster Route Road Rally scheduled for July 16-17

ARLINGTON — Get on the road July 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally. A weekend celebration of local food and agriculture, the festival is an exciting opportunity for families and communities to learn about individual farms on the route, enjoy locally-grown produce and berries and get a taste of farm life. Now in its second year, the road rally is emerging as a not to be missed weekend of family fun on the farms. The Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally is family fun at its best. Pick up a Red Rooster Route stamp card at the first farm you visit, being sure to have each farm that you visit stamp your card so that when you turn it in at the last farm you visit you will be entered for the

chance to win a two-night stay at the Medallion Hotel spa suite and dinner at the Cellar Restaurant. Second and third prizes are unique gift baskets with a variety of items from each of the farms on the route. New to this year’s road rally is the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum so don’t forget to stop by for a stamp on your card. All four farms on the Red Rooster Route participate in the festival and include Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm, Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze, Biringer Farm and Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery. Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm will be lit up with perennial and summer flowers. Walk the fields and cut-flower gardens and inquire about bouquetmaking lessons. Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze will offer a spread of local berries, peaches, pears, plums and cherries. Stop by for their famous berry or mocha shake while the kids enjoy the animal farm and

hay maze. Biringer Farm at Arlington brings out its jolly trolley ride to the raspberry fields for families to enjoy U-pick opportunities or cheat and just indulge in their raspberry shortcake with milehigh whipped cream. At Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery kids will love picking the plump, juicy berries, romping on the playground and feeding the farm’s goats and ducks. Pick up a balloon character from their balloon artist and jump on for a wagon ride (noon to 3 p.m.) followed by a picnic lunch at their picnic areas, if you remembered to bring one, “The farms on the Red Rooster Route are excited for this year’s upcoming Red Rooster Route Days Road Rally,” said Jamie Flint, co-owner of Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery in Arlington. “Last year customers were thrilled at all of the opportunities on the route including picking berries and flowers, meeting local farmers and feeding

the animals, not to mention the farm tours, delicious farm treats and wagon rides at many of the farms. We hope to see many families back again this year.” This third year of the annual Red Rooster Route will also host a variety of upcoming spring and summer festivals including the Blueberry Festival on July 30 at Bryant Blueberry Farm & Nursery, the Corn Festival during labor day weekend on Sept. 3 and 4 at Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm and Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze, the Fall Pumpkin and Corn Maze Festival Oct. 1 - 31 at Foster’s Produce & Corn Maze and Garden Treasures Nursery & Organic Farm. A self-guided tour through the greater Arlington area, the Red Rooster Route is rich with pastoral views and plenty of recreational and U-pick opportunities.

Rome captures USA Track and Field discus title BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

Marysville native Jarred Rome competes in the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, June 24, on the campus of the University of Oregon.

MARYSVILLE — Jarred Rome can heave a 4.4-pound discus half the length of a football field. Perhaps that’s why he’s one of the best discus throwers in the world. The Marysville-Pilchuck alumnus and 2004 Olympian proved that when he won his second national title at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships held June 24, in Eugene, on the campus of the University of Oregon. “It was a very exciting day,” said Rome, who placed 14th in the preliminary round in the 2004 Olympics. “I was trying to stay calm at nationals but that’s a hard thing to do when you’re coming from behind.” Rome’s fourth-round 209-foot, 11-inch throw propelled him past four competitors and landed in

the winner’s circle — earning him a slot on the USA World Team. The top three competitors in each event made the team. “I have made a lot of teams in my 19 years of competing,” Rome said. “So this was very important to me. It helps my confidence.” Rome will compete in his fourth annual World Outdoor Championships in Daegu, South Korea, beginning Aug. 27 to Sept. 4. He finished 11th in Berlin at the 2009 World Championships. “There have been years when I’ve been No. 3 in the world and No. 1 in the states,” the 6-foot, 4-inch Rome said. “I am expected to win and not finish second. So it feels great to win here at nationals.” Unlike previous seasons, Rome was unable to train the way he’s accustomed to. He decided to take care

“it was a very exciting day. I was trying to stay calm at nationals but that’s a hard thing to do when you’re coming from behind.” Jarred Rome, USA Track and Field discus champion of a nagging knee injury that he suffered 10 years ago. So in September Rome underwent knee surgery which benched him for five months. Instead of starting his training in November, he waited until February. “I haven’t been seriously injured once in 19 years,” he said. “So I was really concerned about entering nationals with such little training time. I didn’t know what to expect after surgery. It was going to be a big gamble.” Fortunately for him the surgery went well. In fact, his five-month training period went better than he

imagined. It was his best training in recent memory and he feels stronger than ever, he said. His sterling performance in Eugene came as no surprise to his longtime fans. “I knew he’d win and he did,” 29-year-old Austin Reynolds said. “My dad started taking me to see meets at MarysvillePilchuck when I was 12. He definitely stood out. To this day, I follow him on the Internet. I hope he comes back home and shares his knowledge and skills with our youth.” SEE ROME, PAGE 13

Tips name Ferner as head coach BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

EVERETT — The Everett Silvertips named Mark Ferner as head coach Wednesday, July 6. Everett has been without a coach since June after former coach Craig Hartsburgh stepped down to become the associate head coach of the National Hockey League’s Calgary Flames. Ferner becomes the Tips’ fourth head coach in team history. Ferner left his position with British Columbia Hockey League’s Vernon Vipers on Tuesday, July 5. His presence there is sure to be missed. In four years as head coach Ferner directed the Vipers to three league titles and two junior A

Canadian national championships. While in Vernon he recorded 165 victories and lost 51. In 2009 and 2010 he led the Vipers to a Royal Bank Cup victory. Last season, the Vipers finished second. Ferner, 45, has participated in 98 post-season games over his coaching career. “It’s a true honor to be named head coach of the Everett Silvertips,” Ferner said. “I’ve been a fan of this organization since they came into the league. This is a successful team with stable ownership and fans who are second to none.” Ferner has been involved with professional hockey for the past 16 years. He held coaching positions with the Buffalo Sabres, Washington

“He brings with him impressive credentials of winning hockey games and developing players and we all look forward to working with him in the upcoming year.” Doug Soetaert Everett Silvertips Vice President and General Manager Capitals, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the Detroit Red Wings. “We’re very happy to have Mark join our organization as head coach,” said Silvertips Vice President and General Manager Doug Soetaert during the press conference. “He brings with him impressive credentials of winning hockey games and developing players and we all look forward to working with him

in the upcoming year.” As a player, Ferner was originally drafted by Buffalo in the 10th round of the 1983 NHL draft. He spent three seasons playing in the Western Hockey League with Kamloops Jr. Oilers and Blazers. His first regular season test comes when the Silvertips host Kelowna Rockets at 7:05 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, at Everett’s Comcast Arena.

SPORTS BRIEFS Marysville National Majors All-Stars continue District tournament play After defeating Mukilteo in the District 1 All-Star tournament, the Marysville National Majors team tripped up in the second round, losing 6-1 to Alderwood, Wednesday, July 6, at Quake Field in Arlington. Noah Wallace’s firstinning home run accounted for Marysville’s lone run. In the first round, Marysville scored six runs in the first two innings en route to a 7-2 victory. The team continued play Friday, July 8. The game took place after press time. For results visit www.marysvilleglobe.com.

So what’s next for Boise State’s six-time discus and shot put All-American? Well, he’s off to compete in a meet in Madrid, Spain. From there he travels to Germany and Sweden. “Fortunately and unfortunately I have to travel a lot,” he said. “The really big track and field events happen in Europe. Track and field is huge there unlike it is here in the states. It’s like soccer there.” At 34 years old, Rome’s career could last at least another six years. As an Olympian and national champion, he’s eligible to live in the USA Training Center located just outside San Diego. “It’s the best training center in the world,” Rome said. “Discus throwers are at their best in their mid30s. The world’s second best thrower is 41 years old. So I am far from being done and I attribute that to the training center.” However, when his celebrated career does come to an end, Rome plans on returning to Marysville where he’d like to start coaching. “Jarred would be an excellent coach,” said Reynolds, who, like his father, will take his two kids to meet the guy who inspired him to take up track and field in high school. “Kids need people like Jarred to lead them and teach them how to be a good person and to appreciate sports.”

City names Schroeder employee of the month

MARYSVILLE — The city of Marysville has selected Executive Assistant Lynn Schroeder as Employee of the Month for May. Schroeder started working for the City in May 2007 after a commendable career in Administration at the Sno-Isle Skills Center. Since coming on board, City Hall, City Council and Executive staff have benefitted directly from all the work that she does, and the incredible workload she carries, said Mayor Jon Nehring.

“Lynn is an MVP in the organization because she holds everything together and makes us all look a lot better in how we carry out our roles and duties,” Nehring said. In addition to her regular duties, as often the first voice heard when contacting the Mayor or Chief Administrative Officer’s office, Schroeder works tirelessly behind the scenes to facilitate many of the city’s events and meetings. She recently coordinated another

successful annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet last March. Other meetings have included the Council and Director retreats, visits from state and federal dignitaries, north county Mayor’s meetings, coffee klatches with citizens and Marysville University. City Prosecutor Al Treacy, whose legal office is in the Executive Department, nominated Schroeder. He has had a front-row seat observing how smoothly she has juggled the demands of

the job, especially through times of transition. Treacy wrote he isn’t privy to Schroeder’s full job description, but he can comment on how well she seamlessly handled the passing of the torch last year between the former and current mayor. While Schroeder was adjusting to the new style of city leadership, Mary Swenson retired and passed another critical torch to Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima. Treacy said in his nomina-

“Lynn is an MVP in the organization because she holds everything together and makes us all look a lot better.” Jon Nehring Marysville Mayor tion, “From my observation, Lynn never missed a beat and I am sure that the transition went unnoticed to any outside observer.” Schroeder also assists other members of the Executive staff and Prosecutor’s Office’s

administrators. It is often easy to take for granted the person in an office who makes sure when things need to get fixed, faxed, called, catered, printed, phoned, prepared or ordered; Shroeder is that employee, colleagues said.

Chamber presents leadership awards

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce presented its fourth annual Business and Community Leadership Awards for 2011 at the Tulalip Resort Casino on June 24, to celebrate the accomplishments of local companies and individuals who have been judged to epitomize the spirit of leadership, excellent business practices and community involvement. Tim King was named “Volunteer of the Year” for his contributions to the Chamber and the Marysville and Tulalip communities. King has served as a volunteer for the Chamber and its Regional Visitor Information Center since 2003. A charter member of the Mountain View Presbyterian Church, he’s also served as vice president of the Chamber and as a volunteer firefighter for the Getchell Fire Department, the latter from 1960-1989. He and his wife Jeannine each donate more than 70 hours a month to helping the Washington State Parks program.

“I want to thank my wife for putting up with my volunteer time,” Tim King laughed. “She believes in what I do.” John Soriano was named “Elected Official of the Year” for his commitment to the Chamber, its businesses and the local community, as well as for improving the business climate and encouraging economic development. Soriano’s first election to the Marysville City Council in 1999 made him the first Asian-American to serve on the Council. He was re-elected in 2003 and 2007, running unopposed both times, giving him a three-term run that makes him the longest continuously-serving member on the Council. He’s chosen not to run for re-election at the end of his current term in order to spend more time with his family, but he remains committed to the Marysville community. “This helps me believe that perhaps the things we do as elected officials can benefit the business community,” Soriano said. “It’s good for elected officials to learn more about our businesses, which the Chamber

has allowed me to do.” Lorraine and Ken Anderson were named “Business Leaders of the Year” for demonstrating leadership on local business and community issues. The Andersons are coowners of G.A. Maxwell’s Restaurant, for which they purchased property in 1978, back when Marysville had a population of only 5,000. Construction on what’s now G.A. Maxwell’s began in 1987 and was completed in 1989. In the 22 years since, the Andersons have employed more than 10,000 people. They’ve also helped fund uniform purchases for local cheerleaders, little league teams and bowling leagues, in addition to donating to local churches’ soup kitchens. “We appreciate what you’ve done for us,” said Lorraine Anderson, who accepted the award on behalf of herself and Ken. Marysville Floral was named “Business of the Year” for its customer and community services, as well as its corporate citizenship, business growth and innovative techniques.

Current co-owners Janna Mitchell and Nicole Walker started out as part-time delivery drivers for Linda Hartley, who founded Marysville Floral in 1978 and has since passed on. Mitchell and Walker purchased Marysville Floral from Hartley in 2001. Chamber Board Chair John Bell read testimonials from customers who praised Marysville Floral’s reliability, creativity, low prices and ability to undertake large jobs on short notice. “We’ve been following in Linda’s footsteps,” Mitchell

said. “She laid a solid foundation, and we’ve continued her traditions.” Janet Duffy received this year’s Millikan-Howard Chairman’s Award, named after two former Chamber Board Chairs who have since passed on, but to whose leadership Bell attributed many of the Chamber’s future successes. Duffy has lived and worked in Snohomish County since 1976, has been licensed in real estate since 1979 and opened Windermere Real Estate in 2008. She joined

the Chamber Board in 1993 before becoming its ChairElect in 2000 and its Chair in 2001. Bell credited Duffy with overseeing much of the revitalization of Marysville’s downtown, as well as the location of the Chamber’s Visitor Information Center. “My business partners are like family,” Duffy said. “It feels weird standing up here without Caldie,” she added, referring to Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers, who was unable to attend.

MARYSVILLE — It’s been a banner year for Fred Teachout. Not only were he and his girlfriend, Maybelle Hollingworth, named Windsor Square’s Senior King and Queen for this year’s Strawberry Festival on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, but on June 24 Fred was joined by dozens of members of the Teachout family at Windsor Square to celebrate his 100th birthday. “Kissing her was the best part of this day,” Fred said of the pre-birthday cake smooch that he shared with Maybelle, who’s a younger woman than her boyfriend at the age of 92. “We’ve been together for four years and she’s kept me young.” Although Fred had just recently returned from a stay in the hospital due to a depressed fracture in his lower vertebrae, he was all smiles as he greeted the three generations of his family that have followed in his wake. “We’re thrilled that Fred

Fred Teachout blows out the candles for his 100th birthday cake at Windsor Square Senior Apartments on June 24. has reached this landmark,” C.J. Stigers, Fred’s granddaughter, said to the attendees of the centennial birthday party. “We want to thank Windsor Square for the great care they’ve provided to him, and Maybelle for keeping him in line,” she laughed. Fred was already a resident of the Windsor Square Senior Apartments when Maybelle first moved there

in 2007, and according to Maybelle’s son, Dave Hollingworth, the two took to each other right away. “Mom had divorced and never remarried, so she and Fred just hit it off,” Dave Hollingworth said. “She’s as happy as I’ve ever seen her.” “I hope you’ll all be here next year for my 101st birthday party,” Fred said, drawing applause from the crowd.

Pleasing your spouse requires that you first learn what pleases your spouse, is it any different with God? Sometimes the things we do “for God” are really just things we do because we enjoy them, like the fellow who got his wife a new fishing pole for her birthday when what she really wanted was jewelry.
