ARLINGTON — Fifthgrader Zac Hartman was not too thrilled to be heading back to school, but not for the typical reasons.

The former Trafton Elementary School student, along with his thirdgrade sister Sage, were now enrolled at Eagle Creek Elementary School after their previous school was shut down in June.

“They’re going to make the most of it,” said Jenni Hartman, the two children’s mom, about the situation.

Approximately 5,500 students, including the children who attended Trafton last year and will be enrolled at Eagle Creek this school year, were scheduled to head back to the classroom in Arlington on Wednesday, Sept. 8 and Thursday, Sept.

9.

Students in kindergarten through ninth grade, including middle-schoolers, were back in the classroom Sept. 8, while 10th through 12th graders were slated to arrive the following day.

At Eagle Creek, emotions varied for both students and parents, regardless of SEE SCHOOL, PAGE 19

ARLINGTON — Less than two years ago, Nelson Beazley was a finalist for the open Arlington police chief position.

Now, the job is his.

On Sept. 7, the City Council approved an employment agreement with Beazley to take over as chief less than three weeks after current Police Chief Robert Sullenberger announced his resignation.

Beazley, a former captain in the Fresno County, Calif., Sheriff ’s Office, will begin serving in his new position Sept. 20.

Arlington City Administrator Allen Johnson said during the Council meeting that the negotiating and hiring process began at the end of August, when Johnson had heard that Beazley had moved up to Washington state and was being considered for the open chief position in the Battle Ground, Wash., Police Department.

Beazley met with Johnson on Aug. 30, to begin negotiations. By Sept. 3, Johnson contacted members of the preSEE CHIEF, PAGE 19

ARLINGTON — Brad Goldman took a chance when his wife insisted that he purchase his first airplane — a 1963 Cessna 205 with only 1,800 hours on it.

At the time, he didn’t know that investment would eventually lead him to spend his summers battling Northwest wildfires as an air attack specialist contracting with the U.S. Forest Service and other agencies.

“At first, I didn’t know what air attacks were,” said Goldman, a Marysville resident who owns and operates Gold Aero Flying Service in Arlington. “I found out that these aircraft circle over these wildfires and help (officials) oversee the airspace.”

For the past nine years, Goldman, who is also a full-time firefighter for Snohomish County Fire District 7, has spent July through September on call with his various contractors, ready to respond to wildfires.

His Twin Commander 500S Shrike airplane — equipped with specialized radio and fire equipment beyond anything found on his Cessna — sees a lot of use during those months as he serves in his role providing an eye in the sky for supervisors of wildfire responses primarily in eastern Washington and beyond into Oregon and Idaho.

On call

The process is similar to how firefighters respond to a call. Goldman receives a call from an individual on his contract list who gives him a brief overview of the situation.

Goldman fills his plane with fuel and takes off to a location where officials have set up a base camp. Once he arrives he meets with an air attack supervisor and provides him with an aircraft so that officials can make tactical decisions on the fire while flying directly over it.

Goldman pilots the plane while the supervisor communicates with air and ground units, such as tankers, helicopters and fire trucks. The duo also help cue crews in on weather changes.

Marysville resident and Arlington business owner Brad Goldman works as a full-time firefighter nine months out of the year. During the summer, he contracts with the U.S. Forest Service to help fight wildfires.

Large wildfires, which sometimes have smoke plumes that reach thousands of feet into the air, can oftentimes cause thunderstorms, which can make the alreadydangerous situation even worse.

“We’re basically in the air keeping everything organized and safe,” he said. “We have a really good vantage point.”

Prioritizing safety

Goldman said that each fire presents a unique set of challenges. Topography, the presence of homes and other factors all play a role in how responders deal with a fire that can reach hundreds of acres in size.

“Most people have no idea of the amount of energy these fires have,” he said.

“Sometimes there are tree limbs being carried up in smoke.”

Goldman said that if you’ve heard of any major fires that have taken place in the past few years, chances are he was involved in helping to extinguish them.

Those wildfires have ranged in size from 179,000-acre blaze on national and state forest land near Winthrop in 2006 to a nearly 1,000-acre fire near Colville, Wash., this year.

While most of the fires Goldman responds to require a few days or weeks worth of work, the Winthrop fire kept him in eastern Washington from July through October.

He usually stays in a hotel until his services are no longer necessary.

Recently, he has not been required as often.

Goldman said that he’s responded to seven fires during this summer, with none of them being particularly large.

“The last two years we’ve been really lucky,” he said.

“There have been a few lightning storms that didn’t take.”

Not his only gig

When Goldman is not responding to fires, both on ground and in the air, he’s operating his business out of Arlington Municipal Airport.

The company, which provides customers with recreational air travel, transportation or even scientific ventures, is made up of Goldman, a second pilot and three mechanics that keep Goldman’s two airplanes serviced and safe.

His 4,000-squarefoot hanger houses both his Cessna and his Twin Commander — two different planes for two very different parts of Goldman’s life.

While the Cessna meets the needs of Goldman’s commercial customers, his Twin Commander, which he purchased and restored specifically for his wildfire contracts, is strictly used for his summer work.

“In the Cessna, we have a lot of biologists doing bird surveys who want go really low and slow,” Goldman said. “In the Twin, it’s much faster and heavier. It’s also faster, so it can get to the other side of a fire quickly.”

Drag strip reunion draws thousands

BY ADAM RUDNICK arudnick@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Dan Cooper was quick to bring out his digital camera to snap a few photos of a 1934 Ford Coupe.

While the bright red hot rod, complete with exposed engine and massive external blower, wasn’t from his favorite era of rides — 1960s muscle cars — he had plenty of space on his camera’s memory card.

“It’s really wonderful to see all these cars,” said Cooper, an Arlington resident, about the seventh annual Drag Strip Reunion and Car Show at the Arlington Municipal Airport. “I’ve probably taken hundreds of photos.”

Cooper was one of more than 2,000 spectators to attend the car show on Saturday, Sept. 11.

Organizer Bill Kinney said that about 600 cars were on display during this year’s show, matching the number of vehicles that showed up to last year’s event.

“That’s really good considering it looked like it was going to rain,” Kinney said.

“It’s amazing how many new people came out of the woodwork.”

Proceeds from the event went toward the Arlington Boys & Girls Club and other

local non-profit organizations.

While organizers, as usual, held a poker run and cruise on Friday, Sept.

10, they also dedicated the show to longtime drag racer Herb McNutt, who passed away at age 74 in 2009.

McNutt, who was a track manager at the old drag strip back in the 1960s, was one of the cornerstones in starting the reunion and car show back in 2004. During the first of such events, approximately 250 vehicles showed up.

“He was one of those guys that where he goes, everybody follows,” Kinney said.

Car enthusiasts came from across the Northwest, including Canada, for this year’s show.

Surrey, B.C., resident Warren Look drove south down Highway 9 to enter his 1939 orange Chevrolet Coupe in the show.

The first-time attendee said that he was impressed not only by the amount of cars but by the friendly people.

“I’ve got nothing but praise for the show,” Look said. “It’s a little bigger than I thought it would be.”

Look said he purchased his “bright tangerine” colored car so that his wife and he could have a weekend date car.

“It’s exactly what I was looking for,” Look said.

“It was for my wife and I to head down to the soda stand on Friday nights. I’ve been driving it like I stole it.”

Anacortes residents John Bradshaw and Marty Yates didn’t have vehicles entered into the show, but did take a moment to appreciate a red and gray 1934 Plymouth.

“There’s a lot to look at,” Bradshaw said about the show.

While a number of souped-up muscle cars and hod rods were prevalent at the show, gear heads were

also able to see the types of vehicles rooted in drag racing.

Auburn resident Jay King brought his two grandsons, 11-year-old Kaiden and 8-year-old Bryson, who are both from Marysville, to the show.

Bryson and King were both sticking their heads under the propped-up hood of a drag racer.

King said this year’s show was his first, but his grandsons had checked it out before.

“It’s great to look the old cars,” Kaiden said. “My favorites are the Chevys.”

$21,545,000 in restitution for his role in a scheme to sell untaxed cigarettes to Blue Stilly.

Cunningham was part of a scheme with Blue Stilly operators and the owner of Cowlitz Candy & Tobacco of Longview, Wash., to ship more than 1 million cartons of untaxed cigarettes to the Arlington smoke shop.

Conspirators created false invoices to avoid having to pay $20 million in cigarette taxes, according to U.S. Attorney’s Office officials.

During the operation, Cunningham’s company, MRC Enterprises LLC, was reimbursed for shipping expenses and paid an additional $500 for every shipment of cigarettes shipped under the MRC name, officials said.

Paperwork was falsified to make it appear as though the cigarettes were purchased from MRC. According to his plea agreement, Cunningham admitted that after search warrants were served to Blue Stilly in May 2007, he continued to sell untaxed cigarettes to the smoke shop.

Those continued sales resulted in a more than $3 million loss in taxes to

Washington state, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Cunningham also sold approximately 6,000 cartons of contraband cigarettes to The Trading Post at March Point on the Swinomish Indian Reservation near Anacortes, which resulted in a tax loss of more than $120,000, officials said.

Cunningham’s sentencing is the latest in a string of prison terms handed out.

Those conspirators include the former owners of Blue Stilly — Edward L. Goodridge Sr., 60, Edward Goodridge Jr., 33, and Sara L. Schroedl, 40.

All three individuals were sentenced to various prison terms and supervised release.

United States District Judge John C. Coughenour sentenced Cunningham.

The cases were investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations and the Washington State Liquor Control Board.

The cases are being prosecuted by assistant U.S. attorneys Mary K. Dimke, Richard E. Cohen and J. Tate London.

Are we ready to change the culture in Olympia?

E

veryone knows Washington faces major challenges. With declining jobs came declining revenue, meaning everyone from local communities to state government felt the crunch. While most Washingtonians agree that education must be protected, transportation must be improved, and jobs must be created, the ELEANOR WALTERS differences on how to get there can sometimes seem insurmountable.

There are three different viewpoints on how to solve the budget crisis and achieve our objectives: 1. Increase revenues, hoping not to place an undue burden on working families.

2. Cut most taxes. Employers will use the savings to hire more workers who will then spend more. Even at lower tax levels, increased spending will more than make up the revenue.

3. Slash spending, and essentially turn over public services to the private sector.

Experience tells us none of these approaches will completely solve our problems even though each has strong advocates.

In the first case, no one likes being taxed, making this the most politically risky of any solution. Additionally, with taxes more unpopular than ever, there’s the added risk that any new taxes will end up the subject of a grassroots initiative (such as soda taxes this year) or be brought to court.

In the second case, history has proven cutting taxes does not lead to revenue or job growth. Federal taxes are lower now than at any point since 2000, yet the job market remains stagnant and the economy is recovering at a snail’s pace.

Finally, privatization might (or might not) save tax dollars, but what happens when we assign public services to corporations who are more concerned about the bottom line than the public good? Other states have found companies with deep pockets often dominate the bidding process. New Jersey’s Asbury Park Press, for instance, noted in a July 15, 2010 editorial that when New Jersey privatized vehicle emissions inspection, the resulting mess took years to straighten out due to a corporate bidder with political ties.

If none of these by themselves will solve our issues, what will? The question isn’t new. Answering it is going to require working across party lines. Ideologies run deep in Olympia, both on the right and the left. It’s not even traditional Democratic and Republican divisions, as evidenced by the difficulty Democrats had in agreeing on a budget amongst themselves. The problem is ideology and lack of openness to new concepts. A deep devotion to one of the three options outlined above can blind legislators to other ideas, or even to combinations of ideas.

The next legislative session will face deeper problems as revenue continues to fall below projections. Will legislators hold to preconceived ideas and prompt yet another special session? Will ideology again carry the day? Will we continue to see old ideas and divisions repackaged into fancy-sounding legislation that simply retreads old ground with new slogans? None of us can afford that.

We must take a new approach in the next session. More focus on ideas and less focus on ideology will allow us to start working together. The ability to listen and debate in good faith, along with a willingness to abandon hardened positions, is key to managing the crisis.

The real question is: Are we ready to change the culture in Olympia? There’s only one answer, and it had better be “Yes”.

The dishonor of militarism W

hat a blown opportunity! Glenn Beck gathered thousands of people at the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28 to urge a restoration of American honor — but not once did he mention the most egregious assault on America’s honor: militarism.

It would have been a perfect time to call for dismantling the American empire, ending the bloody occupations and covert wars in Muslim lands, and terminating the gross violations of the rights of Americans and foreigners alike. Under the guise of the “war on terror” those things have stained this country’s reputation — perhaps beyond repair. Yet judging by the speeches at Beck’s rally, you would never know they were happening. He and his fans must think those things don’t dishonor America.

Beck says the country must return to its values, but he seems not to realize that the U.S. government has committed the greatest imaginable betrayal of American values as professed in the Declaration of Independence: Born in rebellion against an empire, America now is the empire against which others rebel.

Here’s a clue to how out of touch with reality the event was: Beck’s headliner, Sarah Palin, praised the military as “a force for good in this country, and that is nothing to apologize for.”

No? I guess she’s been too busy the last nine years to realize that the American military is a weapon of empire. Rather than keeping the American people safe, it endangers them by occupying foreign lands, imposing corrupt puppet governments, and killing resisters as “insurgents,” “militants,” and “terrorists.” Regularly occurring “mistakes” take the lives of people

have been scarred by U.S. policy can’t wait for Beck and his crowd to get over their feel-good session. They want the bombings and surges to stop now.

Until we understand the “scars” and the deeds that continue to cause them, they will SHELDON RICHMAN overshadow any good things. It is unseemly to brag about how good “we” are while the U.S. govnot even suspected of resistance.

Far from opposing the milita- ernment causes such misery day rism that has taken the lives more after day across the world. Beck than a million people since 2001, touts America’s exceptionalism, Beck and Palin embrace it. As the but to those receiving its Hellfire Associated Press reported, “The missiles, that just means America event’s website says the rally is can trash the rest of the world to pay tribute to America’s mili- with impunity.

COMMUNITY IN BRIEF Volunteers for hospice sought Volunteers are being sought to help hospice and palliative care patients in their Arlington-area homes.

An hour-long open house for potential volunteers will take place at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 27 at Cascade Valley Hospital.

The event occurs in Rainier Room B at the hospital, located at 330 S. Stillaguamish Ave., Arlington.

The open house will be hosted

by Evergreen Home Care, based at Evergreen Hospital Medical Center in Kirkland. The organization provides end-of-life programs that allow patients to stay in their homes, said Criss East of Evergreen Hospital Medical Center.

“Volunteers fill a muchneeded service niche by visiting patients and helping them cope with day-to-day care,” East said.

Volunteer duties may include greeting individuals in a friendly manner, reading to a patient, playing cards or games, light household work, running errands or staying with the patient for a couple of hours so the primary care giver can take a break.

Volunteer training will also take place in Arlington.

For more information, call East at 425-899-1049 or e-mail her at cmeast@evergreenhealthcare.org.

Community honors Yolanda Larsen

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — She goes by many names, but regardless of whether she answers to “Mom,” “Grandma” or “Auntie Yo,” Yolanda Larsen is known for her years of community service, which earned her the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s Lifetime Achievement Award Sept.

8.

Stillaguamish Senior Center Board Co-Chair Dale Duskin opened the morning’s ceremonies in Larsen’s honor by praising her skills as a communicator.

“If you needed to get the word out to people, you used to use the telegraph, then you used the telephone, but now, you just tell Yolanda,” Duskin said, drawing laughter from the crowd. “I guess with a family her size, you get good at networking. She’s saved my bacon more than once, whether she knows it or not.

She’s kept me on track.”

Like Yolanda and her husband, Richard “Dick” Larsen, all eight of their children graduated from Arlington High School, and of those eight, seven now have master’s degrees and one has a doctorate.

Yolanda not only supported Dick in his community service, which included terms on the Arlington City Council and Airport and Planning commissions, but also contributed her own time, talents and resources on behalf of local education, even after all of her children had graduated out of the

Arlington School District.

Yolanda volunteered for years in classrooms, remained active in parentteacher groups, worked on several school district bond and levy committees, helped raise more than $2.5 million to build the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center at Arlington High School and then served on the PAC’s advisory board.

Duskin noted that her more than 50 years of community involvement began at an early age, since she also took part in the first Silvana Fair.

“She’s essentially everywhere,” said Duskin, who presented Larsen with a clock to ensure that she’d continue to meet all her many appointments on time.

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen served as the keynote speaker for the breakfast ceremony honoring his mother, and supplied amusing anecdotes about how much not only he and his siblings, but also many other Arlington children have come to depend on Yolanda.

“If our family isn’t able to get a hold of her, it’s like an

Internet server going down,” Rick Larsen said, following on Duskin’s initial remarks.

“When we were in school, our friends all knew her as ‘Auntie Yo,’ and even after we weren’t in school anymore, the name stuck. Now you’ve got all sorts of local kids and their families, who are no relation to our own, who know her as ‘Grandma Yo.’” Rick joked that one of his mother’s names for him and his siblings was simply “you damn kids,” before he teased Yolanda about the idiosyncratic ways in

which she named her children — all the boys with first names starting with “R” and all the girls with first names starting with “S.” On a more serious note, Rick cited Yolanda’s other contributions to the community, from her efforts in the development of Centennial Park to her service on the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation Board.

“She’s been a bridge between Arlington’s past and its future,” Rick Larsen said. “She raised us to make independent decisions within reason. She’s always been about what’s best for kids.

She remained dedicated to these schools, even after her children were gone. Her legacy is her commitment to education. She and Dad made sure we all attended college, even though they weren’t able to do so themselves.”

Rick Larsen paused for a moment as he recalled his father, who married his mother in 1958 and passed away 50 years later in 2008.

“He would have insisted that she receive this award,” Rick Larsen said. “Mom, I know you’d say there are many people who deserve this award, but you deserve it too.”

Eagles hang on to beat Timberwolves

Cobb, Elgarico propel Arlington to non-conference victory over Jackson

BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

Arlington volleyball vs.

Lynnwood Sept. 16, 7 p.m. at Arlington Arlington volleyball got off to a great start for new coach Melissa Thompson, winning its first match against Mariner 3-1 last week.

Now the Eagles play host to Lynnwood for the last nonconference match before the bulk of the Wesco North season hits.

The Eagles will look to finalize their rotation and set plays against the Chimeras.

Lakewood football vs.

Coupeville

ARLINGTON — The Eagles proved again that they plan on being a force in the Wesco North this season.

In a 35-30 non-conference victory at home over 2009 Wesco South champion Jackson, Sept. 10, Arlington maintained its perfect (2-0) record by showing opposing defenses that they are going to have to do more than stop the pass to be successful against the Eagles.

“We were able to get the offense moving on the ground and take advantage of some turnovers,” said Arlington coach Greg Dailer.

Leading the Arlington attack was Riley Cobb who rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Cobb showed big play ability with touchdown runs of 27 and 75 yards.

“He runs really hard, down hill and our offensive line was great tonight,”

After recording a sack that forced a Jackson turnover on downs, defensive lineman Dylan Worley celebrates in the fourth quarter as he helped Arlington to a 35-30 non-conference victory.

Dailer said. “We’ve just got a lot of athletic players that can adjust.”

Primary blockers for Cobb were Adam Dallman, Hayden Love, Blake Petersen and Adam Roehl.

at Lakewood The Cougars have scored a combined 84 points in their first two games this year, but that doesn’t matter as the Cascade Conference schedule begins for them this week, and it starts with Coupeville.

Coach Dan Teeter said his boys are fired up to avenge a messy loss to the Wolves from last year. The defense will need to stop the run to make that happen.

Contact sports reporter Travis Sherer at tsherer@ marysvilleglobe.com or 360.659.1300.

“My line was a great help today and all I really did was follow my blocker and run my route,” said Cobb.

BURLINGTON — In terms of results, the Lady Cougars proved not much has changed since last season.

In Lakewood soccer’s 1-0 win at Burlington-Edison Sept. 7 to kickoff the season, the Cougars relied on the solid defense and patient offense that earned them a trip to the second round of the 2A state tournament in 2009.

“That’s a good way to start the season,” said Lakewood manager Jeremiah Wohlgemuth. “I think at the beginning of the match we maintained possession really well and then got a

strike over the middle.

“For only two days of preparation, Max did a great job leading this offense,” Dailer said.

little frustrated. That was probably the most physical game I’ve seen a Lakewood team play.”

A combination of physical play and runs ending one pass short of a shot attempt early on set up a second half that saw Lakewood break out, coming in the form of a collaborative goal in the 47th minute.

A Lakewood counterattack forced a throw-in deep in Burlington-Edison territory. Senior Alisha Stott’s throw found Mariah Smith running toward the end line.

Smith then twisted around a defender and fired a shot across the mouth of the goal,

LYNDEN — The Cougars couldn’t have asked for a better sendoff to Cascade Conference play.

Eagles tennis falls to Tomahawks

EAGLES FROM PAGE 9 But this win was no cakewalk either. The Eagles eventually contained the Jackson throwing attack, but not before junior quarterback Sam Brown gained 250 yards through the air.

The Eagles were without starting quarterback Blake McPherson, who is nursing a knee injury, but were able to find fillers on both sides of the ball, starting with the junior Bryson and sophomore Skylor Elgarico at safety, who had a pair of crucial interceptions in the fourth quarter. Elgarico returned his first pick for a 76-yard touchdown run and his second ended the Timberwolves’ final drive of the game.

“He showed tremendous poise back there for a freshman and we’re expecting big things out of him down the road,” said Dailer of Elgarico.

Riley Cobb gets past the line of scrimmage on a run in the third quarter.

While not relaying on McPherson’s return Sept. 17 against Ferndale, Cobb said he relished the extra rushing attempts.

“We installed about five

more running plays during practice this week and it was great to have such a good offensive line,” said the senior halfback.

Dailer said that

McPherson’s injury didn’t seem serious and he could be back for the Ferndale game, but is likely to return for the start of Wesco play the following week.

ARLINGTON — The Eagles and Tomahawks met on the tennis court for a match up of teams with reserved expectations for the season.

Mar ysville-Pilchuck pulled out the 5-2 decision at Arlington, Sept. 9, to stay perfect (2-0) on the season.

Both coaches, Sean Cunningham of Arlington and Robert Sherry of Marysville-Pilchuck, are waiting to see how their players compete in the next couple of weeks before gauging what they are capable of.

Meanwhile, Sherry got a positive result.

“We’ve got five or six guys that make up a nice core for us, it’s just getting some other guys to emerge from the pack and fill the holes at the bottom,” Sherry said.

The Tommies swept singles play with Corey Coombs defeating Denny Duskin (6-1, 6-1) at No. 1, Sam Josephson defeating Dakota Olson (7-6, 6-1) at No. 2, Andrew Vanderstoep defeating Viet Nguyen (6-2, 6-2) at No. 3and Jonathan Tuemmler defeating Jacob Hughes (6-4, 6-3) at No. 4.

Arlington, on the other hand, won doubles play, taking the No. 2 pairing with Tyler Bradford and Ben Huge defeating Ben Rumsey and Mark Blankenship (3-6, 6-1, 7-5) and Kevin Rasanen and Ryan Walker defeating C.J. Gonzalez and Bruce Crawford 6-2, 7-6 at the No. 3 singles match up.

“I got some good play out of our doubles teams,” said Cunningham. “The effort is there, it’s just learning how to win matches.”

That much is impressive for the Eagles, who don’t have a doubles team that played together before this season.

Marysville-Pilchuck won the No. 1 singles match with Jared Randall and Chris Rasmussen winning 6-1, 6-1 over Reidar Composano and Brandon Kennedy.

Cougars defender Taylor Studzinski, right, pressures Tigers midfielder Ellary Torset.

SOCCER FROM PAGE 9 which ricocheted off Abby Burke’s hip and in.

“I just saw it coming and thought I had to get something on it,” Burke said.

Smith was credited with an assist, while Stott got the second assist.

“Mariah’s shot wouldn’t have been possible without Alisha’s throw,” Wohlgemuth said. “She’s a great threat — when we get a throw inside the (penalty) box like that, we see it as a corner (kick).”

The Cougars outshot the Tigers 12-6 in the game, and most of those came after the Lakewood score.

“We were just passing and stuff out there and I think we felt a little pressure,” said Burke, a sophomore. “After that goal, it

kind of got everybody more relaxed.”

Even more similarities to last year’s team, which finished 14-5, is a season-opening win against Burlington-Edison, as the Cougars won 2-1 in 2009, and Burke scored the gamewinning goal.

But the Cougars had one of their best chances to score inside the first three minutes, when a shot bounced off the crossbar.

Lakewood earned its first win and its first shutout of the season, which was also common in 2009, as the Cougars held opponents scoreless seven times.

Goalkeeper Miranda Head posted her first shutout, recording five saves.

After a second non-conference game against Mount Vernon Sept. 9, Lakewood

(1-0) will begin Cascade Conference play and will play host to Kings Sept. 16 at 6 p.m.

against LC), but that was on a lot of attempts (48), and we were very opportunistic on defense.”

The Cougars forced four turnovers without giving the ball away once against the Lyncs, and kept them guessing the entire game.

Senior quarterback Justin Lane spread the ball and the Cougars were able to throw the Lyncs off their game plan early by scoring a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead.

“Their plan was the run the ball and keep it out of the hands of our offense early, but we were able to get to them and change that,” Teeters said.

Lane found Justin Peterson for a 16-yard score to conclude Lakewood’s first drive, and Dustin Stanton finished Lane’s second TD pass with a diving catch in the corner of

the endzone.

Lakewood added two more scores in the second quarter, with the first coming on a two-yard run by Christian Melton and the second on a short pass that Brandon Stott turned into a 64-yard touchdown play.

Lane finished the day with 270 yards, completing 15 of 26 pass attempts, which marked his second consecutive 200-yard game this season. His three touchdowns gave him nine on the year so far.

The Cougars took advantage of their speed and LC’s defensive style early on to help build a lead.

“They had a lot of guys packing in the box and that left a lot of one-on-one coverage to our receivers, who have just done a great job catching the ball so far this year,” Teeter said. “I couldn’t ask for a better performance from them.”

Scoring Lakewood’s final touchdown was Donovan Evans on a 58-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Defensively, Teeter said the Cougars were effective when they needed to be, shutting down the Lyncs anytime they drove close enough to be near scoring range.

The defensive player of the game was cornerback Chase Wheeler, who had an interception, forced a fumble and recovered a fumble later in the game.

Teeter said that he’s helping his players find a healthy balance of focus and celebration while starting the season 2-0.

“We don’t want to get overconfident,” he said.

“We’re still 0-0 in conference play and last year we let a few games slip because of that.”

One of which was against Coupeville in what Teeter called the ugliest game of Lakewood’s 2009 season. The Cougs will get a chance to make up for last year’s loss when they face Coupeville at home Sept. 17.

SPECIAL TO THE ARLINGTON TIMES

ARLINGTON — Star Energy, a performing team for the Arlington School of Dance, will be holding a car wash fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 18.

The event takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Windermere Real Estate parking lot, located at 210 E. Burke Avenue in Arlington.

Donations for the car wash will be used to help pay for the dancers’ year-end performance trip to New

York City in June 2011.

The dance team was formed by dance school director Becky Oesch in 2006, and performs jazz, hip-hop and tap numbers as a community service at local events, nursing and retirement homes, day care facilities and festivals.

The group holds two annual dance recitals with the Arlington School of Dance.

Each June, the team performs at a new venue, said parent Marlene Lewis.

Star Energy has represented Arlington at Silverwood Theme Park near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Wild Waves and twice at Disneyland.

“A large number of the original Star Energy dancers are now seniors in high school and in their last year of dance at Arlington and with Star Energy, so this summer their trip is a dancer’s dream to New York City, where they will perform at Lincoln Center and explore the dancing experience of New York,” Lewis said.

Man arrested in robbery case SPECIAL TO THE ARLINGTON TIMES

ARLINGTON — A 25-year-old Stanwood man was arrested for his involvement in what authorities are calling a home invasion robbery in Arlington.

Arlington police arrested the man on Thursday, Sept.

2 for his alleged role in the robbery, which took place at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 30 in the 400 block of East Gilman Avenue.

City of Arlington spokeswoman Kristin Banfield said

that the victims reported two adult men forced their way into the residence and held them at gun point.

The suspects demanded valuables and cash while they threatened to kill the victims, Banfield said. Four individuals were in the home at the time of the home invasion, including a young child.

The suspects then fled the home on foot carrying stolen items from within the home, she said.

Arlington Police were not able to locate the suspects,

but several of the victims were able to identify one of the suspects.

That suspect was booked into Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first degree burglary and first degree robbery.

The Stanwood resident has past arrests for assault, burglary, reckless driving and eluding.

Authorities are still searching for the second suspect in the case.

Residents are encouraged to contact the police department at 360-403-3400 with any information.

ARLINGTON — A 22-year-old Canadian man has been arrested in connection with an Interstate 5 accident that killed a Vancouver, B.C., woman on Monday, Sept. 6.

The Quebec resident, who was driving a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder by milepost 208 near Arlington when it left the roadway and collided with a cement barrier, was booked in Snohomish County Jail, said Trooper Keith Leary of the Washington State Patrol.

Tw e n t y - f i v e - y e a r- o l d Catherine H. Halliwell and 26-year-old Sara G. Edge were not wearing their seat belts in the backseat of the SUV when the crash occurred. The impact caused Nissan’s rear hatch to open, which ejected the two women.

Shop owner strives to ‘pay it forward’

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Worship in Arlington

MARYSVILLE — Like many area business owners, Mark Badgley feels like he’s at the end of his rope.

Badgley has already overcome significant obstacles in his life, but the owner of Snoopits on State Avenue in Marysville feels especially tested now.

Badgley started Snoopits, a thrift store that started a campaign to supply diapers to the Marysville and Arlington food banks, because he wanted to give back to the community.

In 1999, years of drug addiction led Badgley to a prison sentence of more than seven years, and he has been drugfree in the decade since then.

“I sat in a cell and went over

my thoughts, wondering how I got there and how could I make amends,” Badgley said. “I finally came to the conclusion that I had been a selfish addict and a taker, not a giver.”

Badgley opened his store last year with a business partner and a loan from his grandfather with the goal of eventually turning it into a nonprofit organization to benefit the community. His life revolves around running the store, making whatever donations he can to charity, often out of his own pocket, and caring for his 89-year-old grandfather, with whom he lives in Smokey Point. Within the past month, his business partner has been forced to step down due to congestive heart failure

and other medical problems, and the truck Badgley uses to gather his donations has broken down.

“We have no money to buy the diapers we need,” Badgley said. “My business has been built on nothing but word of mouth, because we have no money to advertise. We’re more than two months behind on the rent for the store. I’m not worried about my store closing, but I am worried about all the people who count on us for diapers. In the past few months, so many people have come to us for diapers and we have none to give them now. It just kills me inside to have to turn them away. I have so many people who believe in me and I don’t want to let them down.”

Badgley has solicited aid from friends and family to help him keep Snoopits and his “Dollars for Diapers” program going, and has even written to Ellen DeGeneres to let her know about his efforts, since she contributes to various charitable causes through her television show. In the meantime, he’s asking anyone who can to donate diapers and shop at his store, located at 1235 State Ave. in Marysville.

“I found out what life meant to me and wanted to pay goodness forward,” Badgley said. “I have learned compassion and what it feels to give of my heart and soul.”

Badgley invited those with questions to call him at Snoopits at 360-572-0732.

Mark Badgley hopes to keep Snoopits on State Avenue in Marysville open so that he can give back to the community.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

SCHOOL FROM PAGE 1 whether they had Trafton ties or not.

Twins Trinity and Anders Farrell, who will be going into the fourth grade, arrived early with their grandfather, Mark Farrell.

“Nervous,” was all Anders could muster about his feelings on the upcoming

school year, as he and his sister stood outside Eagle Creek decked out with new lunch boxes and backpacks.

Graham Collins, an incoming third-grader who attended Trafton last year, also stood outside Eagle Creek before school with his big sister, Madeline Collins, who was dropping him off.

“I’m excited,” Graham said, smiling. “I just want to

get back to school.”

Madison Ely, another third-grader, beamed as she and her mother, Ruth Ann Ely, walked to Eagle Creek.

“She’s been pretty happy to be back,” Ruth Ann Ely said.

Eagle Creek Principal Denise Putnam, who spent most of the morning Sept.

8 outside the school talking with students and pointing

them to where they needed to go, said that school staff and administrators have been doing their best to make all students feel comfortable on their first day, regardless of where they went to school before.

“We’re trying to make everybody feel good and welcome,” she said.

While Eagle Creek may have had the most new faces, other district schools also welcomed back students both days.

Arlington School District spokeswoman Andrea Conley said that district staff is looking forward to again putting the focus on students.

Throughout the spring and summer months, the Arlington School Board went through a much-publicized budgeting process in which they cut $1.5 million from its 2010-11 expenditures.

Those cuts required the Board to close Trafton and eliminate a number of classified and certified staff.

“Everybody is aware of the budgetary problems, but they’re in the background,” Conley said. “We’re all focused on the students.”

The district also made a number of administrative changes, most notably moving former Post Middle School principal Brian

19

Beckley to Arlington High School to serve as principal.

Former Post teacher Dave McKellar, who has most recently spent time in the Marysville School District, will be taking over for Beckley this year.

The new principal said on Sept. 8 that his first day of school as an administrator went smoothly.

“So far it’s surpassed my expectations,” McKellar said. “Probably a quarter of our staff was here when I was a teacher. It’s great to be able to get back to those relationships again. As a first-year principal, we’re hoping to make sure the year gets started right.”

CHIEF FROM PAGE 1 vious hiring board to recommend the Beazley for the position.

“It’s almost miraculous that we got this all done so fast,” Johnson said.

Beazley and his wife, Arlene, were on hand during the Council meeting to meet members of the Council.

Beazley has been in law enforcement for more than 30 years. In addition to being a 2006 graduate for the FBI National Academy, he has a degree in criminology from California State University at Fresno.

His salary will be $121,944 a year.

Beazley was one of six finalists to interview for the vacant position in December 2008. The city hiring committee eventually decided to hire Sullenberger, who informed city administration in August that he would be returning to Colorado for family reasons.

Prior to serving as Arlington Police Chief, Sullenberger had spent his entire 32-year career with the Boulder Police Department.

Sullenberger has accepted a job as Division Chief with the Boulder County Sheriff ’s Office.

In addition to the city welcoming Beazley during the Sept. 7 meeting, members of the Arlington Police Department, as well as city administrators and Council members, praised Sullenberger’s efforts during his year and a half on the job.

“Sulley, in the short time he’s been here, he’s made some changes for the bet-

ter, and I’m sure all of these officers would agree with me,” said Johnson, pointing to about a dozen officers in attendance.

Mayor Margaret Larson gave Sullenberger a plaque for his work with the police department, while his fellow officers presented him with a scale model of an Arlington police car.

“In the short time I’ve been here, the support has been phenomenal,” Sullenberger said. “It has truly been my honor.”
