EVERETT — Compared to the crowds who had cheered their return just a few months ago, relatively few families stood on the pier to say farewell to their sailors, since most had already said their goodbyes before that point.

Still, it was no small number of siblings, par-ents, spouses and other loved ones who marked the final departure of USS Abraham Lincoln from Naval Station Everett by braving the cold rain to see the ship pull out of port on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 7.

Marysville’s Lakey Malan shared laughter with a couple of Naval Station Everett sailors with whom she’s become friends in the three years since her brother, Adam Taylor, has served on board the Lincoln.

“This was his first and only duty station in the Navy,” Malan said. “It was great, because he got to spend so much time at home with the family. We were even able to take in other sailors who were further away from their homes during the holi-

TULALIP — The Tulalip Tribes honored retiring regional Forest Service Supervisor Rob Iwamoto on Friday, Dec. 2, for his six years of working with the Tribes to protect their treaty rights to hunt, fish and gather on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Iwamoto also worked with the Tulalip Tribes to help ensure conservation and access to these resources.

“We worked through those pro-cesses over time,” said Iwamoto, who’s marked almost 35 years in the U.S. Forest Service. “It’s about what’s

most appropriate for all involved. I’ve worked with other tribes, and every-one’s needs are different.”

“Rob is a great listener,” said Libby Halpin Nelson, environmental policy analyst for the Treaty Rights Office of the Natural Resources Department of the Tulalip Tribes, who serves as a liaison to the U.S. Forest Service. “The Tribes were using this forest for their cedar already, but he helped fos-ter better communication and part-nership in the forests’ stewardship between the Forest Service and the Tribes, who have a lot of common

interests. They both want to see these resources sus-tained.”

Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. explained that what’s now managed as the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is within traditional territories where the Tribes and their ances-tors have hunted, fished and gathered herbs, medi-cines and food, for ceremo-nial and spiritual purposes, for thousands of years. He praised Iwamoto for work-ing to understand the Tribes’ treaty rights on those lands, and to assist in translating them into actions that will

aid the Tribes in continuing their culture.

“We’ve been very honored to work with you,” Sheldon said. “You’ve respected our government, and even when faced with tough problems, you’ve always found solutions to them. I wish you weren’t retiring because you’re leav-ing behind big shoes to fill, but you’ve also left us with some great memories.”

Among the achievements during Iwamoto’s tenure was the development of a Memorandum of Agreement, between the Tulalip Tribes and the U.S. Forest Service, to improve communications and work together to stew-ard the resources and places of the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest that are vital

to the Tribes’ culture. This came after Iwamoto and his staff took the Tribes up on their invitation to meet the Tribes’ Natural and Cultural Resources staff in 2005, to hear their ideas and concerns regarding the Forest Service’s management of the National Forest lands.

“It was more than just a set of lofty goals,” Halpin Nelson said. “It specifically worked to address those management concerns, and led to yearly meetings between the Forest Service and the Tribes to solicit the latter’s input.”

“We dealt with the Tribes on a government-to-govern-ment level,” Iwamoto said. “Both parties want to make sure we continue to have clean water, clean air, wildlife,

forest products and fisheries, but no one can accomplish this on their own. I’ve cher-ished the partnership we’ve developed.”

To reflect the cultural lega-cy that they credited Iwamoto with helping them to carry forward into the future, the Tulalip Tribal Board pre-sented him with a ceremonial paddle by Mitch Metta and Joe Gobin, which features a squid design that’s more than 150 years old. The paddle, which was carved from cedar harvested from the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, can be used for canoeing and is intended to wish Iwamoto the best on his continued journey.

SMOKEY POINT — Drivers on I-5 in the Lakewood and Smokey Point areas should expect continued over-night closures of inside

lanes through the week of Monday, Dec. 19, for construction of the city of Marysville’s 156th Street overpass project.

City of Marysville Public

Works and Washington State Department of Transportation officials, and contractor Atkinson Construction, hammered out a work schedule that provides crews time to complete this stage of work in the median for the bridge project, located about a mile south of the State Route 531 and 172nd Street NE I-5 interchange,

while minimizing traffic disruptions.

Crews will move heavy machinery and equipment into the median through Thursday, Dec. 15, with the southbound left-hand lane closure starting at 10 p.m., and the actual drill-ing of bridge shafts to begin the week of Dec. 19. Drilling work will require closing both the north-

bound and southbound left-hand lanes.

The Lakewood Triangle Access and 156th Street I-5 overcrossing is a $13 million public-private partnership project that will create a two-lane bridge connecting Smokey Point Boulevard with Twin Lakes Boulevard and the growing Lakewood retail and residential area to the

west of I-5.The project is scheduled

for completion in August of 2012.

For more information, contact Gruenhagen by phone at 360-363-8279 or via email [email protected]. For background and updates, visit the project page at http://marysvillewa.gov.

The trains are coming! The trains are coming!

Marysville’s issue with increasing rail traffic is here to stay in spite of all the ink that’s been spilled over BNSF’s high-handed intention to slice Marysville in half with a chain saw of coal cars. From a local perspective it just isn’t fair but from the BNSF perspective, our perspective doesn’t count for much. BNSF has the law on its side.

Bucking the Burlington Northern is akin to Marysville citizens’ fight with Walmart over its decision to plop a new store at the intersection of Highway 9 and Highway 528. Though opponents delivered wonderfully well-reasoned arguments against it, Wallmart’s lawyers, hav-ing honed their strategy in thousands of other places, smashed the opposition as Chinese tanks did in Tiananmen Square.

The railroads’ advantage began during the west-ward expansion in the 19th Century. To encourage com-pletion of transcontinental routes, rail moguls were given rights and privileges that trumped private landowners whenever push came to shove. That level of control has been affirmed whenever Congress is faced with re-drafting definitions of railroads’ rights. Railroad law derived its clout

from the reality that rails can’t be expected to snake around private properties to preserve private interests. Hence, rail-roaders don’t need to negoti-ate. The latest tweaking of Federal Railroad Law effective January 1, 2010, says in effect, that when a conflict arises over new rail routes, “ ... com-pensation shall be determined ... in the manner provided for the taking of real property under the law of eminent domain.” Though this doesn’t address the Marysville issue, it shows that rails hold all the aces.

So we’re stuck with it. Waiting is the hardest part. Bells ring out, red lights flash, crossing arms come down and the wait begins. It’s when one learns all over again that wasted minutes become longer when one has to be somewhere on time. If it takes three seconds for one coal-car to clear a crossing and a train is 110 cars long, that’s 5.5 minutes per train. Tack on a minute on either end to get traffic sorted out and rolling again and you have

This is always one of my favorite times of the year and a good time to reflect

on all we have to be thankful for right here in Marysville.

In our fast-paced and hectic lives, it is easy to forget some-times what a great community

we live in. Marysville is a commu-nity that goes above and beyond in community service. Our fellow citizens give selflessly of themselves to make others’ lives better, help-ing each other and looking out for their neighbors.

When I think of things to be thankful for in our community, the list runs long, but here are five that immediately come to mind espe-cially at this time of year.

1. The Marysville Community Food Bank and Toy Store, its corps

of hard-working volunteers and the great many who donate food and money throughout the year to assist needy families locally. Even during one of our region and nation’s most challenging economic times, every time the food bank has asked for help, the community has generously responded.

2. Service clubs including the Sunrise and Noon Rotary, Kiwanis, Soroptimist and the Lions. These groups continually give of their time and resources to contribute

toward a better future for our kids and others in our community. There are many evenings and weekends throughout the year that you will find these service club members donating time from their busy schedules at fundraisers and other public events that ultimately have a direct impact on making Marysville a stronger, better and more vibrant community.

3. The growing number of posi-tive activities and places for our youth. The Marysville YMCA’s Youth Development Center opened in August; it’s a place for energetic youth groups like the Minority Achievers Program (MAP) to call home. The Center offers resources to help teens pursue higher edu-cational and career goals, while

Stewardship: Merriam-Webster’s definition is “the conducting, supervising, or

managing of something; especially: the careful and responsible manage-ment of something entrusted to one’s care.”

When the Arlington School Board adopted a new Strategic Plan in 2010, they focused our district’s Mission and Vision on four core responsibilities: Student Achievement, Safe and Caring Environment, Stewardship and Continuous Improvement.

My role requires stewardship for the operations of nine school cam-puses and three support facilities. These facilities must serve the needs of our instructional programs while at the same time operating with the utmost efficiency.

Energy Consumption

Energy conservation has been a stewardship focus in our district for many years and that pays divi-dends today. Energy conservation goes beyond looking at how to live within our means; it challenges us to do the same with less. Old fash-ioned hard work and new technolo-gies have enabled us to reduce our energy consumption.

Lighting: Since 2001, we have been upgrading our lighting by installing more efficient fixtures, ballasts and bulbs, using grants from Snohomish County PUD.

These PUD grants cover the cost of new fixtures, with the district supplying the installation labor. The current estimated annual sav-ings (over traditional fixtures) from these upgrades is 765,000 kilowatt-hours, or enough electric-ity to power 58 Washington homes and saves the district approximately $50,000 each year. Our estimated cumulative savings since 2001 is $275,000. These lighting improve-ments are most noticeable in our gymnasiums where all fixtures have been replaced with high efficiency fluorescent lights.

HVAC: Heating, ventilating and cooling our buildings is our single largest utility cost. Our two HVAC technicians use energy management systems to carefully monitor and

providing a place to hang out with friends, play games and do homework. The Marysville Boys and Girls Club provides an after-school place for young people downtown to do many of the same things, and to reach their fullest potential. Youth groups including Boys and Girl Scouts, and Camp Fire USA are instilling character, citizenship, teamwork and self-esteem in our younger generations. And of course, Marysville and other neigh-boring school districts offer many great clubs, athletics and extracurricular activities. It is great to see our youth involved in so many positive activities that lead to a better community and put them on the path towards a brighter future.

4. Those individual citizens, families, groups and others who volunteer their time, energy and resources to the many volunteer projects and church service projects such as Serve Day, and also those who serve on the many volunteer boards and com-missions within Marysville, lending their own knowledge and expertise.

I cannot emphasize enough what a community asset your time represents. Consider this: Total vol-unteer hours contributed by residents through Serve Day, Graffiti Paint Outs and other park maintenance and program volunteer events totaled 1,722 hours in 2011, an increase of 500 hours over 2010 levels. These hours are equivalent to $34,440 in added value to the city.

When you begin adding in volunteer hours donated through city-sanctioned activities like the Police Department’s Marysville Volunteers Program (MVP) for crime prevention, Adopt-A-Street garbage pickup, youth athletics, city boards and committees, that value-added total soars to $280,000. That number still doesn’t fac-tor in the time that commu-nity members donate through participation in civic orga-nizations, churches, schools and other groups that share a sense of community.

5. Last, but certainly not least, let us be thankful for the many service members and their families who live here and have spent another year here and away from home sacrificing of them-

selves to ensure that we all continue to enjoy the free-doms that we far too often take for granted. We owe so much to America’s finest, and, as the USS Abraham Lincoln departs from Everett for its final deployment before a 3-1/2 year refueling in Virginia, we say thank you to the many fine sail-ors and their families who have been such a welcome addition to our community over these many years. We welcome those sailors who serve aboard the USS Nimitz and their families who will be stationed at Naval Station Everett. We look forward to seeing many of them become part of our military family-friendly community

in the coming months. We rightly spend much of

our time throughout each year working to find solu-tions to and planning to meet the many challenges that face our city. While we do face significant challenges just as other communities all around us do, it is also important to pause for a moment during this holi-day season to reflect on the many things that we have to be thankful for as individu-als and as a city.

I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

adjust our HVAC systems to ensure effi-ciency. When boilers and water heaters need to be replaced, we evaluate both the energy efficiency of the replace-ment and size of the equipment based on our current program needs. A recent benchmarking study of our schools, provided at no cost by the McKinstry Corporation, found that we were among the most energy efficient schools in our region.

School Bus Routing: Each year we review our school bus routing to ensure that our routes stay efficient. Efficient routes minimize the distances traveled each day while maintaining an appro-priate number of students assigned to each bus. Efficient routing results in reduced fuel consumption. With our price for diesel fuel having risen by 65 percent in the past five years, reducing our consumption helps our bottom line.

MaintenanceMaintenance of our schools is

focused on the needs of our instruction-al programs, the safety of our students and preserving district assets. Priorities include repairing roofs, maintaining fire detection systems, exterior paint-ing, resolving water intrusion issues, inspecting and maintaining playground equipment, and repairing damaged walkways. Three full-time and one part-time employee maintain 700,000 square feet of facilities.

Reduce, Reuse and RecycleAnother important aspect of steward-

ship is being conscientious of our waste streams. All of our facilities recycle paper, cardboard, fluorescent light bulbs and electronic components. Bottle and can recycling is provided at six of our facilities and is expanding each year. Presidents Elementary School, which houses our central kitchen, collects food waste for composting. With the assis-tance of the city of Arlington, we are currently evaluating expanding com-posting to additional schools.

To further reduce our refuse costs, the district owns and operates a garbage truck to haul our own refuse to the local

transfer station. Hauling our own gar-bage saves money and allows us better monitoring of our refuse.

GroundsThree groundskeepers mow and

maintain 180 acres of school grounds, athletic fields, planted beds and wet-lands. Maintaining our grounds with minimal resources is one of our biggest stewardship challenges. With a focus on supporting our instructional and athletic programs, our priorities are maintaining and improving athletic fields and play grounds. Our struggle is keeping our lawns, beds and curbs weed free and looking sharp.

The staff of Arlington Public Schools takes our stewardship responsibilities very seriously and we are constantly looking for additional ways that we can improve our operations. These opera-tional efficiencies help our financial bottom line and enable us to direct more of our resources to our students.

Sid Logan is the Executive Director of Operations for Arlington Public Schools and can be reached at 360-618-6238.

7.5-minute blockages. Minimum. I’ve sometimes been left feeling like William Wilson of Huntsville, Ala., who gave the world an ear-ful after being trapped for an hour and 10 minutes at a crossing.

Ohio’s legislature weighed in with this statement: “The general assembly finds that the improper obstruction of railroad grade crossings by trains is a direct threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of this state inas-much as improper obstruc-tions create uniquely different local safety problems by pre-venting the timely movement of ambulances, the vehicles of law enforcement officers and firefighters, and official and unofficial vehicles trans-porting health care officials and professionals.” Surely, Washington has a similar statement on the books.

The Ohio statement describes how Marysville will be profoundly affected when the current annoyance of occasional trains block-ing crossings ramps up to a crippling nuisance. When the number of trains more than doubles, it will mean frequent gridlock at the Fourth Street crossing, the Fourth and State intersection and the inter-section of State Avenue and Cemetery Road — that’s 88th to newcomers.

The situation isn’t unique to Marysville. Reno’s grade-crossings saw rail traffic rise from 15 to 25 trains per day within a year with the possi-bility of a peak of 40 per day. The city dug a $235 million rail trench below street level, assisted by $35 million from the Union Pacific. Both cities suffer from increased traffic headed to and from seaports. Reasons for upsurges in rail traffic include increasing

volumes of raw and manufac-tured materials, concentration of traffic to fewer main lines and escalating of costs of fuel forcing loads from trucks onto higher efficiency rails.

Though we can’t stem the flow of trains, municipali-ties are given a token bit of latitude in controlling train noise by declaring quiet zones. No tooting allowed, just earth-shaking rumble. Trackside residents attest that after a short and sleepless period of adjustment, train-rumble seldom interrupts slumber though, where trains are muted into stealth-mode, road-kill of various species should be expected, including homo sapiens.

The only law effectively protecting towns against blockage of crossings address-es trains that are parked on crossings. If the wheels aren’t turning, limits may be set. But if even a snail’s pace of motion can be detected, a train can take its own sweet time while frustrated motor-ists stack up on both sides. This right was confirmed under the 1994 Federal Railroad Safety Authorization Act and tested by Sioux Falls in 2005. The Sioux Falls action was deemed worthless and tossed out of court. Sioux Falls contended that it wasn’t effective enough that federal law says, “... the crossing is to be cleared with reasonable dispatch.”

The bottom line is, little can be done to halt, moderate or otherwise ease the burden caused by increased rail traf-fic. Some advocate re-routing the tracks to the west, which would be purely voluntary on the part of BNSF so that won’t happen. But hey, we’ll still get to use our crossings when they’re not clogged with trains.

Thanks to the Arlington School District

Recently my husband, my mother and I got an inside look at some of the Arlington schools in action.

The Arlington School District sponsored a “Know Your Schools” program on a Tuesday while classes were in session. It was a won-

derful way to reach out to community members like us who otherwise have no con-nection to the schools.

School staff guided us through several classrooms at each level — high school, middle and elementary. At the high school we learned a little French, saw a two-minute dramatic production, and listened to the band.

At Post Middle School we calculated angles in math

class and used the global positioning system on com-puters.

At Kent Prairie Elementary we watched the kindergarten class run about under a large round red, blue and yellow parachute-like sheet of fab-ric. The first-graders showed us the books they were mak-ing.

At every level we were impressed with the teachers’ enthusiasm and their stu-

dents’ involvement in their subjects. So much going on. Such good energy.

It was a real privilege and an opportunity to see our schools in action. A great big thank you to teachers, staff, students and district person-nel for the good work you’ve been doing all these years.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR


MARYSVILLE — “It’s been business as usual, but business has been good,” said retired Cmdr. Randy Brasfield of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC program.

The M-PHS NJROTC Tomahawk Company recently conducted its pass in review and drill team performance as part of its annual evening parade, the completion of which has been a big weight off the shoulders of many of the cadets. Although Rear Adm. Troy Shoemaker was unable to attend the Nov. 22 event, retired Capt. Daniel Wenceslao returned to the M-PHS gymnasium that night to inspect the cadets and praise their conduct.

“It’s great to be in a school that just gets it, and invests its resources in a program like this,” said Wenceslao, who’s served as the NJROTC Area 13 manager since 1997. “It’s great that you parents are willing to give of yourselves by driving your kids to school early in the morning and picking them back up late at night for

this. It’s great that kids like you, who do this program, have higher grades, fewer discipline problems and the same sense of purpose and camaraderie as those of us who have served in the mili-tary. I hear all the time from cadets that they feel like it’s a family, and that’s because senior cadets are mentoring junior cadets and everyone is accepted.”

Wenceslao presented Tomahawk Company Commanding Officer Cadet Lt. Cmdr. Terryll Daguison with a “challenge coin,” explaining to him that, “You have to carry that for the rest of your life, and if we ever meet again and I ask you to show me that coin and you don’t have it, you’ll owe me the beverage of my choice.” Wenceslao then reflected on the odds of him meeting Daguison again, and joking-ly modified the conditions to tell the stands of spectators, “If you ever meet him again, you can ask him to show you that coin and have him owe you a beverage if he doesn’t have it.”

Tomahawk Company Executive Officer Cadet Lt. Ray Vital helped organize

the event and admitted that its three months of prepara-tions left him feeling stressed out.

“It’s all those little last-minute details, plus plan-ning for what to do if some-thing goes wrong during the event,” Vital said.

Vital’s father retired from

the Navy after 21 years as a senior chief petty officer who’d served in the first Gulf War. Vital himself signed up for NJROTC to test it out during his freshman year four years ago, but within the first two months, he knew he wanted to go the distance with the program.

“As a freshman, I was actu-ally considering becoming a chef,” Vital said. “This set my plans in gear to become a Naval officer. I’d like to become a nuclear engineer, but I’d prefer serving on a

carrier to being in a subma-rine,” he laughed.

This year marked Cadet Seaman Nicholas Alonso’s first in the M-PHS NJROTC. Vital inspired him to check it out, and he’s found it reward-ing for affording him a con-structive outlet other than sports.

“If you decide you do want to go into the military as an adult, or even if you don’t, it gives you a sense of dis-cipline, responsibility and organization,” said Alonso, who is still weighing his own

options, but is considering a career in the intelligence field, “because I like seeing how people get their infor-mation.”

Fellow Cadet Seaman Nick Malloy, in his second year with the program, will either be joining the Navy to study avionics or the Marine Corps to serve in the infan-try. His grandfather retired from the Navy as a lieuten-ant commander after serv-ing in Vietnam, and Malloy himself touted the value of NJROTC in building up leadership skills.

“Almost my entire fam-ily was military,” said Cadet Petty Officer 1st Class Sarah Hagberg, who served as a platoon commander, recorder and guidon dur-ing the evening parade. “My mom’s side of the family was Navy and my dad’s side was Marines. I decided I needed some discipline in my life, since I was rebellious child, and it’s taught me a lot.”

“You get out of it what you put into it,” Alonso said.

“You’ll be a good person by the time you get out,” Vital said.

Brasfield reported that the M-PHS NJROTC has grown every year since its inception in 2007, and this year was no exception, since its 140 cadets were 10 more than last year’s group.

“I say it every year, but this group is particularly ready,” Brasfield said. “They prepared themselves well for their inspections and per-formed very smoothly. It’s the second year that we’ve had two different high schools in this company, but working together has made them smarter.”

MARYSVILLE — A local boy made good with the skills he honed at pitting his pocket monsters against others.

Marysville’s Alexander Dade was one of more than 30 Pokémon players to turn out for the Marysville city championships of the trad-ing card game at Wandering Havoc Games on Sunday, Nov. 27, but he nabbed third place and earned him-self a potential invite to the Pokémon national champi-onships in Indianapolis next summer.

“I’m very proud of him,” Gary Dade said of his son. “He’s been playing for about two years now, and he’s got-ten very good at it.”

While the family is still exploring its options about how to proceed to the next level of championships, Gary acknowledged that Alexander has been “very vocal” about wanting to go further.

“He’s very passionate about it, so we’re looking into it,” Gary Dade said. “It’s a serious deal.”

And not just for kids, either. Craig Hulse, co-owner of Wandering Havoc Games in Marysville, noted

that his store usually isn’t even open on Sundays, but the Nov. 27 city champion-ships drew 34 players, 19 of whom were 15 years and older.

“We’ve been offering special sales on Pokémon cards,” Hulse said. “This weekend just happened to coincide with the Black Friday weekend as well.”

Wandering Havoc not only hosts one city cham-pionship of Pokémon each year, but they also serve as the site for weekly league play of the game every Thursday evening.

“Multiple aspects of it appeal to different people,”

Hulse said. “There’s the playability and collectability of the cards, plus you’re got the people who are really competitive at it. The wide variety of cards themselves doesn’t hurt.”

At the age of 21, Marysville’s Nicholas Leon-Guerrero is a more seasoned hand, but he only came back to the game a few weeks ago after a decade away.

“My brother got me into Magic,” Leon-Guerrero said. “I get a thrill from it like I did as a kid, because it’s at least as challenging now as it was back then. In many ways, it’s grown more complex.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Parks and Recreation Department is offering a variety of classes.

A basic First Aid class will take place in the community room of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Monday, Dec. 19, from 6-9 p.m.

Participants will learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of injuries and sud-den illness, as well as crucial information about how to deal with emergencies, from a certified instructor.

You can renew your existing certifica-tion or become First Aid certified in this OSHA, WISHA, L&I and DSHS approved class.

A class on CPR and AED for the com-munity and workplace will follow in the community room of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club on Tuesday, Nov. 20, from 6-9 p.m.

This course teaches the chain of surviv-al, activation of 911, emergency response, airway obstruction and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a.k.a. CPR.

Information on adult heart attacks and strokes will also be provided, and AED certification is included. This basic certifi-cation conforms to 2010 national standards and is based on the same scientific guide-lines and treatment recommendations used by the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross.

Sheila Davis, of Bee Safe Education and

Training, is the instructor for both classes, which are open to adults and youth ages 12 and older.

The fee is $30 for the First Aid class, or $25 if you’re also taking the $30 CPR class.

The Boys & Girls Club is located at 18513 59th Ave. NE in Arlington. Call 360-403-3448 to register or for more infor-mation.

ACE certified instructor Kelly Howe will lead the beginner’s circuit-style resistance and cardio class, for participants to burn fat, build muscle and increase endurance.

Classes will meet in all weather so dress appropriately. Running shoes from a spe-cialty running store are strongly recom-mended. Call the instructor if you need help finding a local store. Bring a water bottle, a mat, a pair of dumbbells in the 3-8 pound range (your choice) and a great atti-tude.Participants will be mailed a health questionnaire after registration, which must be mailed back to instructor before class. Call 425-418-7328 with questions.

ARLINGTON — Arlington’s stormwater treatment system now has the equivalent of a kidney, according to city Natural Resources Manager Bill Blake.

“We’re looking at having a total of 1,500 trees and shrubs here,” Blake said at the city’s new stormwater wetland. “The Douglas Fir, Red Cedar and Sitka Spruce trees will shade the third cell of our stormwater wet-land to cool it down, as well as provide a vegetative buf-fer between the wetland and Highway 530.”

While the wetland at the north end of town near the Stillaguamish River is also intended to provide a breeding habitat for wildlife and a public trail system for human visitors, its four cells are an extension of the city’s wastewater treatment plant to the immediate east by Haller Park. Blake explained that the sequence is designed to help clear out garbage and sediment, before filter-ing out pollutants such as oils, pet waste, heavy met-als and antibiotics, with the final stage being a babbling brook of cobbles that deox-ygenates the water. Before that last cell in the circuit is the forested area.

“We’ve been counting the days until the first duck shows up,” Blake said. “We’re doing scientific analyses

on when birds, mammals, amphibians and insects show up.”

To that end, more than 90 volunteers signed on to plant 500 of those native trees and shrubs at the stormwater wetland as part of a joint venture between the city of Arlington and Sound Salmon Solutions.

“This is a really great event,” Sound Salmon Solutions Volunteer

Coordinator Michele Harmeling said on Nov. 12, as Scouts and members the Everett and Edmonds com-munity colleges turned out alongside local residents, in spite of the morning’s cold, wet weather. “The whole community came together for this. The city provided the site, the plants and the food for the volunteers, and Sound Salmon Solutions coordinated their efforts.”

Harmeling echoed Blake’s praise for the stormwater wetland as a natural filtra-tion system for substances that we flush down the toilet or pour down the sink.

“When you toss medi-cation down the drain, it ends up in the Sound,” Harmeling said. “The hor-mones in contraceptives can interfere with animals’ reproduction.”

“Water can run com-pletely through this system within six hours, even after a heavy rain,” Blake added.

Arlington resident Kristen Crakes brought her daughter to help her plant trees, and appreciates seeing her get into environmental stewardship at an early age.

“We like to do things as a family,” Crakes said. “We used to do cleanups like this back in Oregon, before we moved here about a year ago. It’s just fun to partici-pate in, especially when it has a huge turnout like today.”

“I want my girls to learn about the environment and to feel good about giv-ing to the community,” said Arlington Girl Scout Troop Leader Elise Simbeck, who was joined by 10 girls from her troop. “It can instill in them a lifelong belief in the value of service. I wasn’t even aware of this area before today. It’s fascinating.”

ARLINGTON — The Trafton Community told prospective square dancers to “Kick Up Your Heels” on Saturday, Nov. 26, and close to a dozen dancers-in-training turned out that evening to take advantage of Cristine Titus’ two-hour lesson.

“The more, the merrier,” Titus said. “If everyone who came here could bring one more per-son, we’d really be cooking.”

Titus is active in the Mt. Baker Square Dance Council, and she wanted to provide a gate-way to square dancing for those who might not be able to commit to more intensive lessons.

“It’s introductory-level square dancing, so that members of the commu-nity can get together with-out having to join one of

the clubs,” Titus said. “Of course, everyone knows Trafton, so this is a great place for it.”

Of the evening’s attend-ees, Mark Kirschenbaum joked that his wife Julie “made me do it,” while Julie Kirschenbaum noted that she’d seen word of the square dancing lesson in the newspaper.

“We’ve already done Zumba here at Trafton several times,” Julie Kirschenbaum said. “We’re glad to see that there’s dif-ferent ages of dancers here tonight, both younger and more mature. Square dancing is something that anyone can do.”

“Our kid went to school here a while ago, so it was depressing to drive by and see it all dark,” Mark Kirschenbaum said. “Before, we had to drive to Darrington to go square dancing.”

Madeleine Fries is in high

school now, but she attended kindergarten through fifth grade at the Trafton School. She was part of a quartet of teens who did their best to keep up with the dance moves called out by Titus.

“It was something fun to do,” Fries said. “It’s a good refresher from what I learned about square danc-ing in middle school, and I’m happy to see that they’re doing something with

Trafton rather than letting it become nothing. What’s funny is that I feel so much taller in these rooms.”

Forget the New Year’s

resolution. How about

an all-year revolution?

Within a week, New Year’s

resolutions usually fall by the wayside.

But an all-year revolution against

cigarette smoking and secondhand

smoke in your life is worth the battle.

Nadine Carter, certified tobacco

treatment specialist at Tulalip

Health Clinic, assists smokers

in defining goals and taking

steps toward tobacco cessation.

Day in, day out, she sees people

who literally devastate their

health one puff at a time.

“Smoking doesn’t have any

redeeming benefits,” she said. “It

damages every organ in the body.”

She explains that smoking is

something akin to sticking your

mouth up to the running exhaust

of a car and sucking in, or spraying

bug spray directly into your mouth.

“There are 7,000 chemicals in a

cigarette,” she said. “Do you really

want that going into your body?”

The trademark of Carter’s tobacco

cessation program is education. Not

only does she provide statistics about

the disastrous effects of smoking,

but she also provides education

on the helpmeets necessary to a

successful quit plan — including

plenty of homework designed

to keep each individual on track.

“Knowledge is power,” she said.

“The more education you have

as a foundation, the better

your chances are for success.”

The 10-week tobacco cessation

program also utilizes visual

reminders to reinforce positive

behavior along with physical

strategies to overcome cravings.

These physical strategies range

from going out for a walk to

playing with magic bubbles.

Blowing bubbles from a wand or

bouncing a rubber ball against a wall

may seem like a childish activity, but

the physical motion works wonders for

adults with cigarettes on their minds.

Carter would love to gift-wrap a

quick fix to smoking for all of her

clients, but that simply isn’t possible.

“There is no quick fix for smoking,”

she emphasized, “and once you do

quit, you must remain abstinent

from cigarettes the rest of your life.”

Tulalip’s tobacco cessation program

is free to all community members

from Lynnwood to Arlington.

Through the program, Nadine Carter

is determined to be part of your

successful revolution — a revolution

to dethrone the tobacco king and

create the gift of a healthier future.

MARYSVILLE — Tomahawk girls basketball traveled to Monroe High School to face the Bearcats on Dec. 7 for both teams’ first Wesco 4A game of the year.

The rivalry game did not disap-point as it culminated in a defen-sive battle from which Marysville-Pilchuck escaped with a 42-39 win.

Monroe found success in steal-ing the ball from M-P’s point guards at the top of the three-point line when the Tomahawks could not find senior posts Hannah Watson or Jessica Boyle inside for low post baskets.

M-P and Monroe’s stingy defenses caused mutual confusion and the first quarter became a turnover battle. The Tomahawks led 9-8 at the end of the first quarter.

The teams traded three-point-ers and Monroe took a 16-13

lead.Boyle sank two free throws, hit

a short jumper from the left of the key and put back a Tomahawk missed free throw to give her team a 22-16 edge.

Hustle was the name of the game as neither offense could establish itself. Turnovers sent momentum back and forth before the half ended with a 27-21 Tomahawk lead.

Neither team could get to the paint with regularity in the third quarter as M-P and Monroe duked it out for possession of loose balls on the open floor.

Monroe endured a long sequence in which they grabbed offensive rebound after offensive rebound to keep possessions alive but could not put the ball through the net.

Watson put M-P up 39-35 after converting one of two free throws and senior guard/forward Emily Enberg dug deep to power to the basket for a hard basket off of a

rebound.Bearcat junior forward Ashley

Alexander crashed through a hole in the backside of the Tomahawk defense for a layup that drew the score to 41-39 M-P.

Monroe put on a full-court press and intercepted a Tomahawk pass in front of the Bearcat bench to force a quick foul. Senior guard Alyssa Brazel grabbed the second shot’s rebound but could not get her layup to fall with 32.6 seconds left in regulation.

Enberg converted one of two free throws to put M-P up 42-39 and force a Bearcat timeout with 13.5 seconds left.

Monroe’s last-chance layup drew iron and rolled out as time expired to preserve the 42-39 Tomahawk win.

“We’re tired,” Tomahawk junior guard Taylor Bergley said after four quarters of physical play and a nailbiter finish. “We wanted to play them tough on defense, and we fought hard.”

M-P girls earn first conference win


MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck looked to remain unbeaten and Marysville Getchell looked for its first win when their combo boys swimming and diving team hosted 1-0 Oak Harbor on Dec. 6.

The Tomahawks, led

by Wesco swimmer of the week Colin Willis, were out to win a second consecutive meet. The Chargers looked to prove themselves after a tie against Glacier Peak and a close loss to Snohomish.

Oak Harbor, however, continued their hot start with eight first-place team and individual finishes to down M-P, 100-85, and

Getchell, 123-58.“We knew going in that

it was going to be com-petitive and close, and we hoped that we would come out ahead,” said M-P and Getchell coach Meredith Jenks, who is in her sec-ond year as head coach after spending the nine previous as an assistant. “We’re not getting down, we’re look-

ing forward to both teams swimming well at the end of the season.”

M-P’s A team finished just thirty-two hundredths of a second behind Oak Harbor to take second place at 1:48.60 in the 200-yard medley relay. Junior Thomas Durand clocked 31.07 seconds, senior Jon Ell 29.96, Willis 24.05 and senior Andrew Winquist 23.52. Getchell’s A team of senior Matt Knowlton (30.34), senior David Fugate (32.42), junior Kevin Korte (30.05) and Josh Estella (24.27) finished third.

The 200-yard freestyle went to Oak Harbor’s Jacob Jepson with a 3A state-qualifying time of 1:49.89. Winquist swam a 4A Districts-qualifying time of 1:57.00 in second, followed by Tomahawk sophomore Jonathan Pusateri in third at 2:09.73.

“These guys all work well as a team,” Jenks said. “They’re always cheering for their teammates, and that kind of enthusiasm really helps when you’re racing.”

Jepson also won the 200-yard individual medley with a 4A State time of 2:03.38. Willis recorded a 4A State

time of 2:07.08 to secure second place for M-P.

Oak Harbor’s Kevin Levy split first in the 50-yard freestyle with Tomahawk junior Jacob Blomberg at a 4A Districts time of 24.28. Ell took second by twelve hundredths of a second and qualified for 4A Districts at 24.40.

Tomahawk senior Tyler Russell won the 1-meter dive event with a final score of 134.15. Junior Dominique Gray took second for the Chargers with 90.20 points.

Willis won the 100-yard fly with a 4A State time of 54.43.

Winquist took first in the 100-yard freestyle with a 4A Districts time of 53.08. Estella took second for Getchell with a 4A Districts time of 53.74.

Jepson won the 500-yard freestyle at 5:00.66, followed by Pusateri at a 4A District time of 5:59.85.

Getchell’s A relay team of Korte (25.98), Fugate (24.83), Knowlton (24.88) and Estella (25.13) broke through by winning the 200-yard freestyle relay. M-P’s A team of Cram (26.82), Durand (26.33), Ell (24.18) and Bloomberg (24.81) took

second.“There were lots of best

times,” said Cram, who con-siders the swim season to be his favorite time of year. “We’re swimming as fast as we ever have and we almost pulled it out. We were never too far back in points, and we almost won. We’ve got great people, great swim-mers and great academics. I couldn’t swim with another team.”

Jepson won his fourth event of the night with a 3A Districts-qualifying time of 1:04.15 in the 100-yard breaststroke. Both Ell (1:08.13 for second place) and M-P senior Corey Coombs (1:13.50 in third) qualified for 3A Districts.

Oak Harbor’s A relay team won the 400-yard free-style relay at 3:35.84, fol-lowed by Willis, Pusateri, Blomberg and Winquist of the Tomahawk A team at 3:36.40. Getchell’s A team of Fugate, Korte, Knowlton and Estella took third at 3:59.33.

“Hopefully we beat Cascade (on Dec. 8),” said Tomahawk senior Kaili Swan, a swimmer of 10 years who wears his M-P letterman jacket every day.

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood boys varsity basketball faced a tall order as they faced the South Whidbey Falcons in their first Cascade Conference game on Dec. 7.

Enter 6-foot-8-inch

South Whidbey senior Zach Comfort, five inches taller than the tallest Cougar with 6-foot-6-inch senior center Dustin Stanton still side-lined with an injury.

“We tried to not let him catch the ball by fronting him and making him pass instead of shooting,” Lakewood coach Matt Hart said.

The Cougars were quicker than the Falcons and pushed the ball up the floor to make the post-happy Falcons play faster than they preferred, but Comfort found the ball enough to keep the offense running. Falcon defenders took charges when Lakewood made aggressive cuts on the way to the basket.

The Cougar defense opened up a 41-29 advan-tage as they out-rebounded the Falcons, jumped in front

of Comfort and sped the other way down the court before South Whidbey players could get back on

defense. Lakewood contin-ued their fleet-footed attack in the fourth quarter andemerged with a 58-47 win.

days. It was nice just to be able to have him around as often as I did to give him hugs.”

Taylor will soon be departing the fleet to start college, so Malan won’t be missing him for too long,

but she regrets the bonds that she’ll be losing with her brother’s shipmates.

“I’ve made a lot of friends on that ship that I’ll proba-bly never see again,” Malan said. “We became like fam-ily. We were there for each other to the point that you could call at 3 in the morn-ing and know that you’d do whatever for each other. It’s

hard when you get attached like that.”

Navy wives Shannon Huff and Danielle Sawicki also made Marysville their home while their hus-bands served on board the Lincoln. While Huff was an Oregon native who was well acclimated to the Pacific Northwest, Sawicki came from New York, but

both agreed that the local community made them feel right at home.

“It was so supportive and welcoming,” Sawicki said.

“This is a very military-friendly area,” Huff said.

The Lincoln had just returned to Everett this March, and Huff lament-ed that she would again be missing her husband, Mitchell, over the holidays, especially since they have a newborn baby, the family’s first child. Sawicki joked that she and her husband, Phil, only have a dog as their “child.” While Sawicki will soon be moving to Virginia, where the Lincoln will be home-ported after it completes its routine deployment, Huff isn’t sure how long her husband will have to be a “geographic bachelor” before she can join him.

“It’s the Navy, and it is what it is,” Huff said. “You have a couple of days of sad, then you buck up, deal with it and move on.”

“As a Navy wife, you kind of know what you’re sign-ing up for, but it’s never easy,” Sawicki said. “It’s for the greater good, though.”

Naval Station Everett Executive Officer Cmdr.

Dan Limberg was on the pier to see the Lincoln off, and noted that the transi-tion between the Lincoln and its replacement, the USS Nimitz, which he anticipated would arrive around February of next year, is more complex than civilians might realize.

“We’ve got a lot of Lincoln families who are still living in the area, wait-ing for when their sailors get orders to somewhere else,” Limberg said. “I’m sure we’ll see a lot of them coming back to the area as they get opportunities to serve on the Nimitz. We’ve also got some Nimitz fami-lies who are already living in the area, both on base and out in the community. Either way, the commu-nity’s support makes a big difference. This is some of the best community sup-port I’ve seen in 23 years.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring reflected on how much the Lincoln has meant to his city since the

carrier’s arrival in 1997.“Lincoln families are

a significant segment of our community’s popula-tion, for reasons ranging from affordable housing and a family-friendly cul-ture to proximity to both Naval Station Everett and the Commissary/PX in north Marysville,” Nehring said. “Sailors aboard the Lincoln and their fami-lies have contributed in so many positive ways to the social and cultural fabric of Marysville, and we are a better community because of their contributions.”

“It has been a joy to have the families of the USS Lincoln in our community,” Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson said. “These sail-ors and their families have given much of themselves to help make Arlington a better place. We will truly miss each and every one of them. At the same time, we are excited to build similar partnerships with the fami-lies of the USS Nimitz.”

LINCOLN FROM PAGE 1

After first arriving at Naval Station Everett in 1997, the USS Abraham Lincoln departed Dec. 7 for its final deployment, before it pulls into its new homeport in Virginia. The carrier will be replaced by the USS Nimitz, which is expected to arrive in Everett by late February or March.

MARYSVILLE — Lee Phillips, who at age 23 was elected to the City Council to become its youngest member on record, is step-ping down at the end of the year after a decade of dis-tinguished public service to spend more time with family and write the next chapter in his life.

“It has truly been an honor to serve Marysville citizens and employees,” Phillips said recently. “I was humbled to be elected at a young age, but took the vote of confidence seriously, and hit the ground running.”

He and his wife and daughters Caitlyn, 3, and Madailien, 1, plan to move in a few years to their 30-acre ranch in Eastern Washington, so another four-year term wasn’t in the cards, said Phillips.

Former longtime Planning Commissioner Steve Muller will assume Phillips’ seat in January after voters elected him in November.

Phillips served on the Finance Committee, Public Safety Committee, Cable TV Advisory Committee and Library Board and chaired the Hotel-Motel Tax Grant Fund Committee for each of his years on the Council. The latter committee has recommended various tourism-related projects for grant funding that by 2011

reached $140,000.Phillips, who works as a

security officer at the Tulalip Casino and Resort, said he is most proud of his com-mitment to fiscal stability and accountability in how city dollars have been spent, and serving the citizens with integrity. He added that as having been a small business owner himself, he worked to minimize the impacts of policy decisions on small business owners.

Phillips received his Advanced Municipal Leadership Certification from the Association of Washington Cities in 2011.

Phillips steps down at year’s end

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Public Schools’ NeoBots 2903 FIRST Robotics team was recently selected as one of 12 schools’ teams from around the world to conduct a beta test using the Kinect game system.

Students from the Arlington NeoBots team have been working closely with their mentors in the Arlington School District, Boeing and Microsoft to develop a software operat-ing system that would allow the Kinect system to operate the NeoBots robot. Through several weeks of software programming and testing with the robotic hardware, the students were able to get their robot to interact with the Kinect system.

The Arlington NeoBot team presented their Kinect beta project at the DigiPen Campus on Nov. 12 to FIRST Robotics teams from throughout the Puget Sound region, and conducted a

demonstration during this training session.

On Nov. 17, eight of the Arlington NeoBot students were invited by the Director of Academic Programs at Microsoft to demonstrate their Kinect beta findings at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond.

“The NeoBot students put together an exceptional demonstration of their dis-coveries between the Kinect game system and the robot,” said Andrea Conley, public information officer for the Arlington Public Schools. “Employees from Microsoft, international journalists from around the world and Alex Kipman, one of the inventors of the Kinect game system, were provided with amazing educational interactive dem-onstrations by the NeoBot students. Several of the inter-national journalists, plus Kipman, were actually given the opportunity to drive the robot using the Kinect game

system that the NeoBot stu-dents developed. It was an incredible opportunity for our students to show off their stuff, and they were so excited about getting to demonstrate what they had developed.”

On Nov. 22, the Arlington NeoBot team had the opportunity to demonstrate its robot with the employ-ees from C&D Zodiac in Marysville, who have spon-sored the team by contribut-ing financial assistance, field trip opportunities and manu-facturing engineer mentors for the students.

“This has been an incred-ible partnership and our stu-dents had a wonderful time getting to show off their Kinect discoveries,” Conley said.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank received two gifts for the holidays from Roy Robinson Chevrolet on Dec. 1.

Roy Robinson’s Gordon Bjorg Sr. and Gordon Bjorg Jr. arrived at the food bank that afternoon to present its volunteer coordinator, JoAnn Sewell, with 171 pounds of food and a check for $2,500.

“The last couple of years, we’ve given them about $2,000 to $2,200,” Gordon “Gordy” Bjorg Sr. said. “In previous years, we teamed up to donate $10 for every car we sold to them and other area food banks, but this year, we kept it local.”

Sewell noted that the heating costs alone for the food bank during the winter months makes Roy Robinson’s financial dona-tion especially valuable.

“Our biggest need remains more volunteers, though,” Sewell said.

“Gordy” Bjorg echoed Sewell by encouraging com-munity members to volun-teer at the food bank.

“It’s an enlightening expe-rience,” Bjorg said. “Seeing all those people in need, standing shoulder to shoul-der, gives you a whole dif-ferent outlook.”

The Bjorgs added that Roy Robinson is continuing to collect for the food bank, and will probably wind up chipping in some hams as well.

The Marysville Community Food Bank is distributing winter holiday food baskets on Monday, Dec 19, and Friday, Dec. 23, from 9 a.m. to noon, and on Tuesday, Dec. 20, from 2-7 p.m. The food bank is located at 4150 88th St. NE in Marysville.

DEVIN J. EVANS-MCGARRY

Navy Seaman Recruit Devin J. Evans-McGarry, son of Justin D. and step-son of Namthip Evans of Marysville recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program, Evans-McGarry completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Evans-McGarry is a 2011 graduate of Marysville Getchell High School.

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion,

what is important is that God is happy with your religion.

Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many

religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true

religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to

the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be

entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isn’t that

the whole point of religion? Let’s talk about it. 360-939-2080
