Communities form youth councils

Youth in Arlington and Darrington will have more of a direct voice to their cities with the formation of youth councils for both towns.

The two youth councils had their first meeting on Sept. 22.

The councils are one of the initiatives being started because of the national America’s Best Communi-ties (ABC) competition. Ar-lington and Darrington are currently one of the eight semi-finalists in the contest.

“The ABC competi-tion was the catalyst to get this beginning, but this is

something that Arlington and Darrington and it’s city councils and mayors have wanted to do for a long time,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert.

VCS hosts annual Friendship WalkVillage Community Services

held their annual Friendship Walk, Run and Car Wash on Sept. 24, which helps raise funds for pro-grams for those living with disabili-ties.

The 10K run, 5K run and one-mile friendship walk were held by Legion Park in Arlington.

Village Community Services’ mission is to support those with disabilities and is a local organiza-tion.

“This is one of the really impor-tant fundraisers for us,” said Mi-chelle Dietz, program director at Village Community Services.

The event is especially important for “Voices of the Village,” an inclu-sive band which provides those liv-ing with disabilities a chance to be in a band.

The band is 100 percent funded by donations and fees from the members. “That’s really cool that it’s sufficient in that way,” said Dietz.

They play around 40 gigs a year, she said, including community events. “And they give back, they play a lot of charity events as well,” she said. In addition, they perform weekly jam sessions in downtown Arlington.

The program is important for building friendships and social re-

Days of Caring volunteers help out at local projects

The United Way of Sno-homish County helped lead volunteer projects across the county beginning on Sept. 23 during their annual Days of Caring.

Volunteers helped clean up parks, deep cleaned re-tirement facilities, worked at local shelters like those from Cocoon House, and performed city beautifica-tion projects in Arlington on Sept. 27, as well as help-ing local horse rescue All Breed Equine Rez-Q.

“This shows support for our community and allows people to be involved and that’s one of the things Unit-ed Way is all about,” said Di-ane McLeod, administrative

A large part of the con-test is communities finding ways to become better.

“It’s about small commu-nities finding those resourc-es within themselves, put-ting some projects together and then showing the world why we’re America’s best community,” she said.

Tolbert hopes that the youth perspective is better understood with the new council.

“Every Monday night [Arlington City Council and city officials] decide policy and direction, and how to spend money in the city and we don’t always get to see every aspect of it,” she said.

City officials hope that a youth council will be able to provide their own opinions on how the city operates, as well as start their own initiatives and programs to improve the community.

“My hope is that the youth in Arlington become engaged in city govern-ment, learn about what it means to volunteer and encourage other students or kids to get involved,” said Arlington High School Principal Will Nelson, who is one of the adult advisors for the program.

Sarah Lopez, recreation and communications man-ager for the city and another

of the adult advisors, said she hopes the youth council “can think about things that will improve the communi-ty and make it a place where they would want to live and come back to,” she said.

Members of the Arling-ton youth council said they committed to the program because they want to repre-sent their peers.

“I wanted to be a part of the council to give more voice to the youth in my community,” said youth council member Zoe Tap-per.

“I wanted to join the youth council to be able to involve my school and the people my age, and give them a voice in what hap-pens and what we see in our community,” said youth council member Olivia Walker.

Many are also using the opportunity to connect more with the world around them.

“I wanted to be a part of the youth council just to gain experience within the community and learn more about the community and other people,” said youth council member Mikayla Beckley.

“I’m a little bit nervous, just because I haven’t done anything this official before, but I’m really excited just to get started,” she said.

Tolbert hopes the local youth council will provide a better way for young peo-ple in the community to be heard.

“When you do partici-pate more in local govern-ment, we’re going to be a better community for peo-ple your age,” she said.

She hopes the youth council will be able to con-tinue long after the ABC competition and the cur-rent members move on.

“This will be a template so there will always be a voice for youth in the com-munity,” she said.

Periwinkle

coordinator at the United Way of Snohomish County.

McLeod said the annual event helps show the or-ganization’s support of the community, and helps get people involved in a more hands-on way.

“I am really excited about getting out there and actual-ly have volunteers out doing the work. I think it’s gratify-ing to not just to give mon-ey, but actually be involved in the work,” she said.

Volunteers help local or-ganizations in a variety of ways.

At the Marysville horse rescue All Breed Equine Rez-Q volunteers help with projects that would normal-ly be too much work for the volunteer staff that run the rescue.

“They come out and they paint, they dig ditch-es, put up fencing, cut down brush and weeds, mow the lawns and clean out the ditches,” said Dale Squeglia, president of the horse rescue.

“Most of that stuff we can’t do ourselves because we’re too old or too young,” she said.

Volunteers came out to help the community.

“My son and I just want-ed to volunteer,” said Jamie Contreras, who came with a friend to help out at the Marysville horse rescue, but had never been out to one of

the Days of Caring before.“I think it’s great. I want

to do it every year,” she said.Katie Hass has volun-

teered at Days of Caring twice before and said she likes to help out the com-munity.

“At work, we work in customer service [at Sno-homish PUD] and we talk to people who are strug-gling financially, so it’s nice to feel like you’re helping people who aren’t so finan-cially well off, or horses in this case that aren’t so finan-cially well off,” she said.

McLeod wanted to thank all the volunteers who come out to support the event.

“Thank you to all the

volunteers and everyone who chooses to be a part of this, and all the compa-nies who gather employee teams,” she said.

“United Way is lucky to be a part of a commu-nity where people are so in-volved,” she said.

Squeglia also wanted to thank the United Way and the volunteers who come out every year to help her horse rescue.

“I’m very grateful and thankful they come here ev-ery year,” she said.

State funds all-day kindergartenThis is the first school

year that kindergarten will be free and all-day in all public elementary schools in the state of Washington.

“With full-day kinder-garten it just allows teachers to teach to the whole child. It’s not just about math and literacy skills now, but the emotional and social skills that are just as important for a successful student,” said Terri Bookey, director of early learning and cat-egorical programs for the Arlington School District.

Both the Marysville and Arlington school districts had some kindergarten classes funded in previous years by the state, and fund-ed others themselves.

Last year Arlington School District had three of

its elementary schools’ kin-dergartens funded by the state and one with money from their general fund.

“During the 2014-15 school year, we had a num-ber of schools that qualified for state-funded free all-day kindergarten,” said Emily Wicks, coordinator of com-munications and commu-nity relations for the Marys-ville School District.

Cascade Elementary didn’t qualify that year. “Since it is one of our high-est poverty schools, the dis-trict funded all-day kinder-garten for this school with local levy dollars,” she said.

Last year, almost all of Marysville’s schools were covered. Only Marshall Co-Op didn’t qualify, but that school was covered by local levy dollars again.

The Washington state legislature made a com-

mitment a few years ago to fully fund kindergarten, said Bookey, and have been rolling out the funds for that promise over the last few years.

She said the legislature wanted to ensure a full-day kindergarten because “the research is very clear about early learning in children being important to develop-ment,” she said.

Over the last few years more and more schools have been getting funded.

“The state provided funds for schools on a slid-ing scale, poverty being the number one assessment for schools receiving these funds,” said Wicks.

“This year, however, is the first year the state is fund-ing all-day kindergarten at all of our schools and we no longer need to fill gaps with levy dollars,” she said.

In Arlington, before all-day kindergarten, kin-dergarten classes were two days a week and every other Friday.

“That was a real issue be-cause if we had a Monday off, sometimes the students wouldn’t come to school for five days,” she said.

It was also a problem for parents as well who had a more uneven schedule and would have to deal more with daycare.

Bookey said that the Ar-lington School District is already seeing the positive effects from last year’s stu-dents.

“We’ve seen good things already for this year’s kinder students who are going into first grade. They are off to a much better start and that’s evident in their confidence and oral skills,” she said.

All-day kindergarten

helps develop personal skills and problem-solving skills.

The extra time allows for a better array of activities, and time for them to choose their own activities, said Bookey.

“That allows them to be more of an independent learner,” she said.

Wicks said the district was glad to provide all-day kindergarten when it was

needed.“Our district is incred-

ibly proud that we have been able to provide equity for our students by ensur-ing each one has access to free all-day kindergarten. We’re thankful to our voters for filling in the gaps when needed, and to the state for making this a priority for the Marysville School Dis-trict and school districts across state,” she said.

Tomahawks top Chargers in Berry Bowl 35-14The Berry Bowl kicked

off on Friday night, Sept. 23, as the Marysville Getchell Chargers and the Marys-ville-Pilchuck Tomahawks met for their highly antici-pated matchup.

The Tomahawks started

out hot as they attacked on the ground, dominated through the air and put up a brick wall on defense. After the first half, Marysville-Pil-chuck led the Chargers by a score of 21-0. The Chargers came alive in the second half as they put up 14 points and began to make some crucial stops on defense.

However, it was too late as the Tomahawks held off the Chargers on their way to a 35-14 victory.

“It’s nice to get our first win of the season no mat-ter who it is. It might be a little sweeter knowing that it was against our rival. But, I thought we did things well offensively, I thought our defense was solid. Our de-fensive line did a great job tonight stopping a lot of their runs and getting pres-sure when they went to the air. I’m happy with our per-formance,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach Bran-don Carson.

Mar ysvi l le-Pi lchuck put up numbers on Friday night. Quarterback Kee-An Ballard kept his composure throughout the game as he threw for two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Tomahawks also enjoyed the duo of running backs with Galdino Fajardo and Eian Adcock. Fajardo ran for two touchdowns and

contributed on defense with a sack and a forced fumble. Adcock also ran for a long touchdown and received out of the backfield for a touchdown as well.

The Chargers had some struggles finding their game early on, but a few lead-ers kept them in the game in the second half. Caleb Koellmer threw his lone touchdown to Charles Tait on a short 10-yard bullet along the right sideline. Mi-chael Stewart led the rush-ing attack with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Finally, Stewart and Gage Thomas led the defense as they were flying all over the field, totaling over 30 tack-les on the day.

“We’ve got to get healthy. I’ll be honest, I don’t even know who’s hurt and who’s not, I just know that we didn’t have our starters in there at the end of the game. When we’re throwing new guys in there, on offense and defense, I think there

was a little bit of a miscom-munication because the guys playing don’t get as many reps as the starters. We played hard, didn’t give up and I’m proud of the boys for that. Pilchuck, I’ll tip my hat off to them, they had a great game plan and they played hard too,” said Marysville Getchell Head

Coach Davis Lura.If you want to attend the

next Marysville Getchell home game, they will be facing the Stanwood Spar-tans on Friday, Sept. 30, at 7 p.m. Marysville-Pilchuck’s next home game will be for homecoming as they face the Arlington Eagles on Fri-day, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m.

Arlington spikers defeat Chargers

The Arlington Eagles girls volleyball team host-ed the Marysville Getch-ell Chargers as they both walked onto the court with records of 1-0, in league play.

From the first set the Eagles played aggressively as they scored quick and hit hard. After winning the first set, Arlington never looked back as they swept three in a row to claim a 3-0 victory, and remain undefeated.

“It feels really good. We have been waiting to come out really strong because we usually struggle at the be-ginning of the season. With the experience I have, the amount of seniors I have, it is really fun to be able to come out that strong early on,” said Arlington Head Coach Whitney Williams.

Arlington is led by a strong cast of senior ath-letes this season. In partic-ular, in this matchup they were led by Libero Hannah Michaels and outside hitter Jessica Baker. With a com-bination of strong offense from Baker and game sav-ing defense by Michaels, the Eagles controlled the match from beginning to

end. The Chargers are trying

to find their rhythm this season as they also boast a strong senior cast and an impressive freshman in Ali-son Sievers. As the season goes on they will find their chemistry and work on their consistency on the of-fensive and defensives sides of the ball.

“Our defense has im-proved a lot, our serve re-ceive has really improved and we’re starting to be smarter. That’s one thing we have really been working on is coming out here and performing like we know we can and putting the ball down. We struggled with

that tonight, but we have been improving so far this season and we have a lot of room to go from here. I think we competed better toward the end, more than people probably expected. We just need to utilize when we have the ball, and put it down,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Kris-tina Naff.

If you want to catch the next Arlington home game they will be matching up against the Shorecrest Scots on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. Or if you want to at-tend a Chargers match they will be at home against the Meadowdale Mavericks on Monday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m.

Eagles defeat Everett on the pitch 3-0

The Arlington Eagles girls soccer team took on the Everett Seagulls on Sept. 22 in a match that was filled with aggressive play from beginning to end.

The Eagles came out flat in the first half but man-aged to score one goal, on a penalty kick from Kirsten Phillips. In the second half Arlington came out firing as they outran and simply out-played the competition. The duo of Phillips and McK-enzie Buell was on fire, as Phillips scored twice more, while Buell ran the offense with clean passes and tal-lying a pair of assists. The Eagles finished on top of the Seagulls with a score of 3-0.

“It’s a good start and I know the girls were pushing themselves to be there. We are experienced so they are counting these matches and they are doing what they need to do. You need to win at home. I think defensively we have done a really nice job of keeping our shape, supporting each other and really getting back. Offen-sively, we are still trying to find our groove in terms of space and formations. In-juries have affected the way we play but we are adjusting moving forward,” said Ar-lington Head Coach Nathan Davis.

The chemistry of Buell and Phillips was the cata-lyst of the Eagles’ offense as they were too much for the Everett defense to handle. With a strong senior team around them, they are rev-ving up for a strong season and postseason. However, do not overlook the strong defense that allows the of-fense to flourish. Focus-ing on another key piece of this Arlington team, Brielle

Schraeder, the goalkeeper, has stepped up in big-time situations this season. Re-placing an all-state keeper from last year, Schraeder uses her quickness in or-der to grab her fair share saves and has finished mul-tiple games this season with shutouts.

“We just had a real talk on what we needed to work on. We needed to know that isn’t how we play and we need to play harder. We need to come in with the mindset that we need to play aggressive and not get

relaxed thinking we’re going to beat them,” said Phillips.

“This team is special because we lost 10 seniors from last year, and coming into this year everyone was counting us out. We’ve had a lot of girls step up their game, get aggressive, give hard tackles, score goals and are working well defen-sively,” said Buell.

If you want to attend the next Arlington Eagles home game they will be compet-ing against the Meadowdale Mavericks on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m.


September 28 -October 4, 2016NORTH COUNTY OUTLOOK 6 www.northcountyoutlook.com

K e e p i n g our landscapes changing is so critical to keep-ing our interest in gardening. With change, there’s the anticipation of something new and exciting. With change, our garden compositions take on whole new person-alities. And with change, we find opportunities to expe-rience our gardens in ways we may not have originally conceived.

Fall is one of those forces that bring change to our gardens. Plants that may have been smoldering all season are all of a sudden coming alive with brilliant

colors. Shrubs like forsythia that entertained us way back in early spring are once again com-ing to front stage for an encore per-formance. Only

this time it’s foliage and not flowers that are sparking our interest.

We are blessed with an abundance of plants that turn spectacular colors in the fall. Unfortunately, many yards are missing this key element in their garden design. Consumed with not wanting to rake leaves or look at “dead” sticks in the winter, we pass by these marvelous plants that keep

our landscapes changing and interesting through the different seasons of the year. Here are three examples with incendiary names that will surely set your land-scape on fire.

SMOKE TREE — This plant gets its name from the flowers that appear in the summer that look like feathery plumes of smoke. But that’s not it strong fea-ture. The most popular varieties have dark purple foliage that is translucent in the sunshine. The leaves take on reddish tones in late September. Smoke trees can become small trees (15 feet tall) or be treated a large shrubs. They can even be cut to the ground in March and forced to re-sprout from the base. This will cause them to produce strong stems with beautiful new foliage reaching 6-8 feet tall. You won’t get many flowers this way, but the foliar effect will be dynamic. Plant smoke trees in full sun, average soil and reasonable drainage for best results. “Royal Purple” and “Velvet Cloak” are my favorite flavors.

BURNING BUSH — The name says it all. The pleasingly textured foliage turns a brilliant red in the fall and only lasts for a few short weeks. But that’s not

the end of the story. Small reddish purple fruits that attract birds appear after the leaves fall off. And there’s more. The bark is “winged” and adds winter interest as well. Who could ask for anything more out of a plant? Burning bushes grow in full sun or part shade, average soil and some mois-ture. Too dry and they will look bleached. “Compac-tus” is the most common variety and grows to 4-6 feet tall.

FIRE POWER HEAV-ENLY BAMBOO — Don’t panic, this is not a true bamboo. This is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that doesn’t lose its leaves in the win-ter. However, those leaves turn bright red in the fall and stay that way all win-ter. A soft textured form of Nandina, Fire Power only grows to 2 feet tall by 2 feet wide. Nandinas will grow in full sun or full shade in our mild northwest climate. Most garden centers stock

several varieties of heavenly bamboo. Their textures are pleasing and they provide a fine backdrop for other coarser textured shrubs. Most have white terminal clusters of flowers that pro-duce red berries that persist throughout the winter. Fire Power is an exception, but the foliage is so spectacular that you will never miss the flowers.

Protect your pipes from freezingFreezing pipes are a con-

cern for homeowners who live in cold climates. When temperatures dip below freezing, the risk that pipes will freeze rises. Should a pipe burst, the damage that results can be extensive and costly.

Any pipe can freeze, but those that are directly ex-posed to the cold are the most vulnerable. These in-clude pipes that feed out-door hoses, swimming pool supply lines, pipes in un-heated indoor rooms (i.e., basements or garages), and any pipes that run close to the outdoors through un-insulated walls. Water ex-pands as it freezes, and that expansion can place pres-sure on whatever is trying to contain it — including pipes.

To avoid serious damage, homeowners need to pre-pare for the arrival of colder weather and be smart about how they protect pipes.

Drain water from swimming pools and wa-ter sprinkler supply lines prior to the onset of cold weather. Drain water be-fore freezing temperatures

arrive, and don’t forget to unhook and drain outdoor garden hoses and store them inside after watering season has come and gone.

Close indoor water valves that feed outdoor spigots/bibs. Open the spigot outside to allow wa-ter to drain out. Keep the outside valve open so that any water that has accumu-lated will continue to drain and expand outward with-out damaging the pipe. An insulated bib dome also can help prevent frozen pipes.

Open cabinet doors to allow heat to reach pipes inside of cabinets. Keep the doors open to spaces that may not be heated or insu-lated as well as other areas of the home so that heat can find its way inside. Con-sider wrapping these pipes with an insulating material as well, such as heat tape or pipe sleeves.

Maintain a consistent thermostat temperature. Ensure the temperature in-side your home does not drop below 55 F; otherwise, problems can arise. Use a programmable thermostat

to keep the house comfort-able even when you are not home. Individuals who are traveling should set the thermostat so that it will keep the home at the rec-ommended temperature to avoid frozen pipes.

“If you mist leave for an extended time consider winterizing your home,” said Cameron Brown, of Brown’s Plumbing in Marysville.

Open one faucet. When it is very cold outside, par-ticularly at night, let water slowly drip from one faucet to prevent freezing. Choose

the sink that is furthest from where water enters the house so water is flowing through all of the pipes to reach that faucet.

Increase insulation around where pipes en-ter the house. Use insulat-ing foam to seal any drafts where pipes enter the house from the outdoors.

Frozen pipes cannot al-ways be avoided. Therefore,

it is important that every-one in the household knows how to shut off the main water valve in the event a pipe bursts. This can pre-vent expensive damage to a home.

“If you have a frozen

pipe, apply a small amount of heat to the pipe and as-sess the damage after it thaws,” said Brown. “If you have a leak after it thaws, be sure to call your local plumber so the issue can be properly repaired.”

Sk8 Festival returns to ArlingtonThe fourth annual Cen-

tennial Sk8 Festival brought longboarders from across the country to Arlington to compete in races around the Centennial Trail on Sept. 24 and 25.

The festival is a sanc-tioned event from the In-ternational Distance Skate-board Association (IDSA) and brings longboard racers to the area.

Longboards are similar

to skateboards but longer and designed more for dis-tance traveling or racing.

“It’s a great form of clean transportation, and it’s a great way for families to bond and see nature from a little faster perspective than a pedestrian,” said Angela Kuhn, one of the organizers of the event and an Arlington local.

“Everything’s cooler on a longboard. Stress, prob-lems of life, it all goes away as you glide inches from the earth at 10 to 15 miles

per hour,” said well-known longboarder Andy Andras, who was at this year’s Ar-lington festival.

Kuhn likes that long-boards are easy to learn as well.

“I love that the boards are longer and more for-giving,” she said. “Even our young pre-school at-the-time child could learn.”

The Centennial Sk8 Fes-tival brought out a wide range of people and Kuhn said that is in part because it is easy to pick up.

“We’ve got people from all ages who come out for this,” she said.

Kuhn’s husband was a street skater growing up, she said, but moved to longboarding as a safer al-ternative.

“We got into longboard-ing in Arlington. When we first moved here the races were new and we partici-pated, and since then we’ve been very involved, to the point of now running this,” she said.

Snohomish local James Barry said he has been longboarding for two years now, but that it’s great ex-ercise. The 54-year-old re-cently completed 600 miles of longboarding in one month.

“I think it keeps me healthy and young,” he said.

Barry has participated in the Centennial Sk8 Fes-tival the last two years and said he likes the commu-nity.

“It’s lots of fun and lots

of people doing the same thing I like to do,” he said.

“There’s a lot of camara-derie in the sport and I love to support that,” said Kuhn.

Andras also said he liked the people of the sport.

“We call it the distance skate family, all these people are all very fun and tight-knit. We all race a lot but we’re all friendly,” he said.

He holds the world re-cord for longest distance traveled on a longboard in a day, with 309 miles com-pleted in the 24 Hour Ultra Skate race in Miami.

Andras lives in Florida but said he enjoys traveling around to IDSA races.

“I never would’ve come to Arlington without this

one, so now I get to come down to beautiful Arlington and check out the Centen-nial Trail,” he said.

This year’s festival in-cluded a film festival that was open to the public, and multiple races, including a kids race.

Kuhn hopes it contin-ues to grow. “I hope that it brings something fresh to the community and some-thing that the community members look forward to it every year,” she said. “I hope it becomes a destination for longboarding.”

Kuhn wanted to thank the sponsors and those who have helped the event in-cluding Arlington Lifeway Church, Kombucha Town, the Downtown Arlington Business Association, Stilly Diner, Cricket Wireless, Blackdog Longboards, Sio-eye, Dwayne Lanes and the Arlington Co-Op.

Jimmy John’s opens in Marysville

Well-known sandwich shop Jimmy John’s opened their new Marysville loca-tion this month.

The new store at 412 State Avenue in Marysville held its grand opening on Sept. 13.

“I think our quality, sim-plicity and speed make us unique,” said Kent Perillo, owner of the new Marys-ville location, as well as two other locations in Smokey Point and Snohomish.

Perillo said that Jimmy John’s is a sub shop that mainly focuses on its sand-wiches.

“We don’t do soups or salads. Instead we keep it high quality but simple,” he said. “Keep it simple. Do one thing and do it well.”

They offer a wide-range of sandwiches that use all natural ingredients, said Perillo. There are no soy-based fillers for the meats and no vegetable oil-based cheeses, he said.

The store also shreds their own lettuce every day, and bakes their French bread every four hours.

A nine-grain wheat bread is also available as an alternative to the French bread.

“I think people like our simple but tasty sandwich-es,” he said. “I grew up eat-ing at the very first and only Jimmy John’s over 20 years ago and it still doesn’t get old,”

For those who want a no gluten meal, the store saves the outside of the lettuce it shreds and is able to make a sandwich in it. “We call it the ‘Unwich,’” said Perillo.

The store has some snack options available to go with their sandwiches.

“We also have Jimmy’s own kettle style chips, de-licious oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies with three types of Ghirardelli chocolate in them, and our famous tasty crunchy Ko-sher jumbo dill pickle,” said Perillo.

The store is also known for its delivery service and quick preparation.

“I think they [custom-ers] like our speed. The av-erage Joe doesn’t have time to waste on their lunch. We get them in and out of the restaurant in well under four minutes typically,” said Perillo.

Perillo has owned his other locations for a couple of years now and said that he tries to be involved in the towns around them.

“We stay active in the

community with schools and churches, and are try-ing to get better,” he said.

He said he was excited to be part of the Marysville downtown now.

“I have had my sights set on this location for about seven years,” said Perillo. “I see the potential here for growth and I am extremely grateful to be contributing here,” he said.

He also said his stores employ a diverse group of people.

“We employ a lot of men, women, great kids, college students, single parents, and even retirees looking to pick up some hours,” he said.

The Marysville store is open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information call 360-322-6905.

Viking Fest returns Oct. 1-2

Historical Viking re-en-actors and demonstrations will be on display again this year at the Arlington Viking Fest on Oct. 1. and 2.

This is the second year for the festival put on by the Downtown Arlington Busi-ness Association (DABA) and it has been expanded to two days with more re-en-actors, demonstrations and activities.

Most of the activities will be located in Legion Park from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 1 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 2.

“This is really about the education and the opportu-nity to learn more about the viking era,” said Dana Fowl-er, DABA member and chair for the event.

The “Viking Village” will be bigger this year with more demonstrators and re-enac-tors coming. Fowler said that the re-enactors are always knowledgeable and “know all the history and they can talk for days about it.”

Numerous demonstra-tions will show skills such as blacksmithing, forging, weaving and casting.

Two professional fight-ing groups will be on display throughout the weekend, including one that uses real steel in their weapons and

wear actual armor (although the weapons are not sharp, said Fowler).

The public will be able to participate in a demon-stration of historical defen-sive formations including a shield wall maneuver.

A bard will travel around and sing throughout the fes-tival and a storyteller will tell Viking-era stories.

A Viking ship from the Sons of Norway in Bothell will be on display at the fes-tival.

Last year’s tug-of-war competition returns as well.

Kids activities, including a craft table and a bouncy house, will be available.

The pub tour for the Vi-king Festival returns as well. DABA will be running a program with discount ads for stores and the stops of the pub tour, which will have Viking re-enactors visiting as well.

Fowler said DABA start-ed the festival as a tribute to the area’s Scandinavian roots.

“There’s a strong connec-tion to history here,” said Fowler. “This is the site of the biggest 1800s Scandina-vian settlement in the north-west,” she said.

The Stilly Genealogical Society will be at the festival to show some local artifacts relating to the area’s Scandi-navian roots as well.

The Viking Festival was expanded to two days this year.

“It will help accommo-date more people. We’re al-ways busy and a Saturday may not work for everyone,” said Fowler.

It takes a lot of time and work for the re-enactors to come from all across the state, she said, so a multi-day event is better for them.

“They’re always enthu-siastic about re-enacting so the more time they have the better,” she said.

Last year was the first time DABA ran the event. The time is one between big events for the area, so the organization hoped to fill a niche for the community.

“It went really well last year and that’s why we want-ed to bring it back again this year,” said Fowler.

“Just in general I think there is a lot of interest in the viking life,” she said.

Fowler hopes that the event will continue to grow and be one of DABA’s signa-ture festivals in the future.

“I like that this is unique. There are not a lot of viking-related events out in Wash-ington state,” she said. “And because it’s unique it could have a really great draw over time,” she said.

More information about the festival is available at ar-lingtonvikingfest.com.

lationships, she said.“If you’ve ever been in a

band, you know that play-ing music together is really bonding. The bonds forged through music are incred-ible,” said Dietz.

“I think the sheer joy of music is a common ground. It doesn’t matter if you’re disabled or not, you can still enjoy listening to and play-ing music,” she said.

The band helps get peo-ple with disabilities into center stage in the commu-nity, which is important as well, she said.

“It includes them in the community in a way that is pretty unique. They’re not an ostracized group of people with disabilities over here, they’re in the center, they’re performing on a stage,” said Dietz. “It’s really important for the commu-

nity to see our folks in this role performing.”

Mike Blue, a regular participant in the Friend-ship Walk and a teacher at Arlington High School, said he participates to give back to the community.

“I’ve been blessed in so many ways in my career in the Air Force and now at Arlington High School, I just want to give back,” he said.

Blue has been partici-pating in the Friendship Walk for many years.

“I got introduced to Vil-lage Community Services in 2008 and it was just so much fun. I like the band and what they’re doing in the community here,” he said.

“I like the fun atmo-sphere, the students and adults with disabilities can enjoy a day in the sun and it helps them with most of their events throughout the year,” he said.

Dietz said part of the rea-

son she likes the Friendship Walk is because it brings in people who may not know much about Village Com-munity Services.

“We’re playing music right downtown so a lot of people come by just to see what’s going on and that increases awareness of our people with disabilities and their talent and joy for mu-sic,” she said.

Blue also brings some of his students every year to help as crossing guards for the event.

“They get to see the good that can come from giving

back to other people,” he said.

Dietz wanted to thank the volunteers who help put on the event, and local orga-nizations like Arlington Ro-tary who are sponsoring it.

“We want to recognize Vicki Adams,” she said. Ad-ams is the board president for the organization and runs a lot of the band man-aging work and “that’s a lot of work and she deserves a lot of credit,” said Dietz.

n LETTER TO THE EDITORCarr’s Hardware — A Marysville Classic

Having lived in Marysville from the ripe old age of one, I grew up in a totally different Marysville than what you see today. The streets were not as wide and the traffic was oh so much less.

My great uncle, Noble Olson, owned and operated the Marysville Co-Op, located, on State Street where the Marysville Towne Center Mall is now. The Co-Op actually came equipped with Cracker and Pickle Barrels. As the story goes my grandfather, Bill Seibert, would take me there with him and sit me on the barrels — that had to have been fun. Mike’s Saw Shop, owned by my great-uncle Mike Seibert, was located on 1st Street behind The Burger Stop and Ron’s Hamburger Stand was on south State Street just as you left Marysville. Those businesses, along with so many others, are where our not-so-little town came from.

Hilton Pharmacy is still where it has always been, as is the Dutch Bakery and of course — Carr’s Hard-ware. A place unlike any other, Carr’s Hardware was a fixture “back in the day.” I remember as a little girl, going in there with my grandfather and my dad. Mr. Carr was such a nice man and you felt like you had known him all your life, and in my case that was almost a fact. My grandparents lived across 4th Street from the beauti-

fully landscaped white two-story house that was Mr. and Mrs. Carr’s. Halloween always meant Mrs. Carr’s caramel apples and popcorn balls, and a warm welcome as you went up to the door.

It was a fact that if you couldn’t find what you were looking for at the big box stores, just take a short drive down to 3rd Street and you could usually always find it at Carr’s and if not, they could order it for you. Walking into Carr’s has always felt as if you taking a walk back to the Marysville of old. The wood plank floors, merchandize of every descrip-tion on shelves, hanging on the walls or sitting on the floor, so much in fact it was hard to choose. However, the wonderfully friendly people who worked there made your journey even more interesting. There was, and still is, a wonderful indescribable smell about Carr’s that made you feel at home, along with the smiles, and warm welcomes that greeted you as you entered. Those of us who pa-tronized Carr’s over years will always have those wonderful memories of each time we walked through the front door— hearing the sound of old cash register, walking around on the wood floors and feeling the pres-ence of Mr. Carr and all those who visited the wonderful place over the past 93 years.

n GUEST EDITORIAL

Partnership is a strength of M’ville/Tulalip community

Partnership is one of the strengths of the Marysville/Tulalip community. Here we believe that organizations and entities working together can accomplish so much more than we each would on our own. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new monthly feature article co-written by the Marysville School District, the Tulalip Tribes and the city of Marysville.

Each month we’ll explore a topic of interest in our com-munity with information and perspectives from the schools, the tribes and the city. For September, our theme is Back to School.

Marysville School DistrictIt’s a busy time for staff,

students and families. Great things are happening and Marysville School District staff is thrilled to see all of those bright, eager students once again.

This year, the District is implementing new elemen-tary school English-Language Arts curriculum (Ready Gen), and grades 6-8 Math materials (GlenCo). The goal of adopting new curriculum is to improve instruction in classrooms, and meet the District’s North Star Indica-tor of all students achieving at or above state standard in English/Language Arts and Math. This is also the first year of Chromebook redeployment for grades 6-12. New students are receiving Chromebooks for the first time and return-ing students are getting them back after the summer. There were many successes from the technology levy our voters ap-

proved in 2012, and the com-munity should look forward to another year of 21st Century learning for our students.

There are many opportuni-ties to get involved in Marys-ville School District-sponsored efforts and events this year. The new Food Commons at M-PHS is set for completion this winter; once students are settled, they will share their new space with the commu-nity at a public open house. Last week, the District held symposiums recapping the unsuccessful April 26 Bond Measure. More feedback is needed, so look for a commu-nity survey in late September. On Oct. 18, the District is hosting a Legislative Town Hall on education funding with 38th Legislative District leaders. You won’t want to miss the discussion. For more information on any of these priorities or events, contact [email protected].

Tulalip Tribes The Tulalip Tribes realized

a decades-long dream this past year when it opened the Betty J. Taylor Early Learning Acad-emy that serves tribal children age birth to five. “Research shows the life-long benefits of early learning programs,” said Chairman Mel Sheldon. “We now have the opportunity to give our children the best pos-sible start in life. The fact that we are able to teach our cul-ture alongside traditional early learning curriculum makes it a very unique program.”

The Taylor Early Learning Academy combines several programs under one roof.

The academy’s mission is to provide children a solid foundation for success. The program emphasizes strong families, community, culture, and a coordinated early learn-ing education system. Studies show that students involved in the Montessori program score higher in social and emotional skills when entering kinder-garten, while children in the ECEAP program have higher math scores than children without preschool education.

This October will see the first generation of tribal mem-bers to be fully exposed to Lushootseed, their ancestral language, since the Treaty of Point Elliot was signed in 1855. Teachers and staff study the language daily in an effort to incorporate the language into all aspects of the educa-tion system.

“Our decisions are made in the best interest of our chil-dren and families,” said Sheryl Fryberg, director of the acad-emy. “It is a concept we live by here at the Early Learning Academy.”

City of MarysvilleLifelong learners, rejoice!

Even if you graduated years ago, community education classes let you learn and ex-plore topics ranging from fitness, arts and crafts, music and special interests. Budget-ing, geocaching and essential oils are all offered this fall by Marysville Parks, Culture and Recreation. Find more information at http://www.marysvillewa.gov/147/Parks-Culture-Recreation and keep on learning.

CLASSICContinued from page 12Council meets with school district, hospital

The city of Arlington gathered early this Monday for a quick, half-hour joint meeting with Ar-lington School District and Skagit Regional Health/Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, the first of such meetings since a change of management at both the hospital and the school district.

Another special meeting is planned this Saturday, Oct. 1, when the City Council’s budget retreat will be held in the Still-aguamish Conference Room at the Public Works office, 154 W. Cox St., from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

This Monday’s council work-shop meeting covered several new projects.

Council is planning a public hearing on Oct. 3 on the city’s Six-Year Transportation Improve-

ment Plan (TIP). State law requires every mu-

nicipality to update their TIP an-nually for the following six years.

Any road construction project that is to be considered for a vari-ety of funding must be listed. The proposed TIP is available on the city’s website, arlingtonwa.gov.

The city is considering a new ordinance, Impact Fee Deferral, to accommodate a state law passed by Legislature in 2015. Impact fees are intended to ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve growth and development, but the state law strives to make it easier for single-family residential construction projects. The defer-ral would be allowed for the first 20 building permits issued by the city and the fees still have to be paid, within 18 months, or at final inspection, certificate of occupan-cy or at the time of closing.

A public hearing on the ordi-nance was held by the Arlington Planning Commission on Sept. 20.

At this Monday’s workshop, council was to review a contract with Hellas Construction Inc. for renovations to Quake Baseball Field with funds from the Stilly Valley Youth Project, a result of the 2014 SR 530 Slide.

Hellas is a design-build firm for athletic fields and was selected in February 2016 through an RFQ process. The work includes install-ing artificial turf infields on two baseball fields, making the entire site ADA accessible, and improv-ing the backstops and fencing.

Hellas will also complete the design and budget for two new baseball fields east of the existing fields that will allow the city to move forward on fundraising.

Snohomish County provided

$350,000 to assist with upgrading the baseball fields at Bill Quake Memorial Park and those funds will serve as a match for a $250,000 RCO grant from the state.

A strategy in the Arlington-Darrington Community Revital-ization Plan for the America’s Best Communities contest, the city partnered with the school district to recruit members for a youth council. Twelve youth, ages eighth grade to 12th grade, applied and seven were selected: Olivia Walker, Cole Cramer, Alec Villa, Zoe Tapper, Zach Bailey, Mikayla Beckley and Morgan Bryson will serve for one school year, through June 2017.

Council is considering chang-ing the annual meeting schedule and canceling the second, third and fourth meetings in August and the first meeting in Septem-ber.

Many reasons to Shop LocalThere are many well-docu-

mented benefits to our commu-nities and to each of us to choos-ing local, independently owned businesses so it is important for people to think local first when doing their shopping.

“As people shop local, it’s helping the local business own-ers,” said Jennifer Holocker, ex-ecutive director of the Arling-ton-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce. “The more we can shop local, the better our com-munity is.”

The following are just some of the reasons to Shop Local.

Buy Local — Support your-self: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an in-dependent, locally owned busi-

ness, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other lo-cal businesses, service provid-ers and farms — continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

Reduce environmental im-pact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to devel-oping on the fringe. This gener-

ally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

Get better service: Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers.

Invest in community: Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future.

Put your taxes to good use:

Local businesses in town centers require comparatively little infra-structure investment and make more efficient use of public ser-vices as compared to nationally owned stores entering the com-munity.

Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic re-search shows that in an increas-ingly homogenized world, entre-preneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in

communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy: A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local custom-ers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
