Staying connected with Lakewood schools

INDEX

MARYSVILLE — Four years after Shoultes Elementary started presenting school plays with “Beauty and the Beast,” the school’s drama program came full circle on March 22 and 23.

Nancy Hammer, the teacher and librarian who started the school plays at Shoultes and has served as their director for all four years, explained that her long-term plan was to assemble scripts, costumes, props and backgrounds for three plays — “Beauty and the Beast” which debuted in 2009, “Peter Pan” which students performed in 2010, and “The Wizard of Oz” which the school staged in 2011 — which could be presented in an ongoing three-

year cycle. Because students are only eligible to try out for the plays after they’ve entered third grade, and all the school’s students graduate after fifth grade, even a student who performed in each of those years’ plays would never perform the same play twice.

Shoultes fifth-graders Kaya Lowe, Matthew Miller and Kelsey Campbell all remembered the first time they saw “Beauty and the Beast” on the school’s stage, and all three will leave the school as veteran actors.

Lowe, one of the four actresses to play Beauty, and Miller, one of the four actors to play the Beast, performed in “The Wizard of Oz,” last year while Campbell, who played Tink the teacup, had also performed in “Peter

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School District’s kindergarten registration and open house saw the cafeteria and gym of Lakewood High School packed with families on March 20.

Amy Staudenraus, the new principal of Lakewood Elementary, touted the school’s new PTA, which is now separate from that of English Crossing Elementary.

“All their events have been wellattended so far,” Staudenraus said.

“We’ve got 100 percent of our teachers as PTA members, and our PTA enrollment is up 50 percent from last year.”

Lakewood Elementary PTA

President Tracy Gieseke and Secretary Lori Wood greeted parents and students that evening, and expressed pride in building their numbers to 113 members for a school of only about 300 students.

“We’re really working on connecting with parents and the community,” said Wood, who noted that Lakewood Elementary copes with some of the highest free and reduced lunch percentages and student turnover rates in the district. “Our movie and reading nights have been packed.”

Gieseke added that a “Watchdog” program has also SEE SCHOOLS, PAGE 2

sought to involve more male volunteers.

Lakewood’s Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program was also represented that night,

by Program Manager Linda Steinborn and Janet Krutsinger, a teacher for 19 years.

“ECEAP is free for limited income and struggling families,” Steinborn said.

“We support them by connecting them to resources and helping them serve as resources for each other.

It’s a great introduction to the school system. It provides a nurturing environment for students, with an emphasis on social skills.”

Matt Blair, assistant principal and athletic director for Lakewood High School, aims to create a hospitable atmosphere for older students as well, and touted the second year of the school’s “Cougar Covenant” as one

tool to help foster a more welcoming spirit.

“We have 300 athletes who are being tasked with conducting themselves well in school, at practices, during games and out in the community,” Blair said. “We’re holding them accountable for doing right by physically visible, measurable means, and not just words.”

According to Blair, not only the student athletes, but also the athletic director, the coaches and the parents all play parts in maintaining the “Cougar Covenant.”

“The kids who play football need to be good to the kids who are just coming in and unsure about high school,” Blair said. “If a kid is getting bullied, he’ll have less of a sense of belonging. We’ve gotten calls and visits from other schools across the country about this program.”

While first-time kindergarten registrant parents such as Anna Anderson expressed regrets at not

being able to see the schools that their children would be attending this fall, parents of incoming high schoolers, such as Jackie and Aahron Jensen, appreciated the opportunity to check out their own future school.

“I’m nervous but excited,” said Aahron Jensen, 14, currently enrolled at Lakewood Middle School.

“I’m looking forward to playing more sports, being more involved and having more freedoms. I liked being able to see all the activities.”

Aaron echoed mom Jackie’s approval of the program that also promoted what high school students would need to do to prepare for college.

“I’m glad it wasn’t just, ‘Oh, this is what you’ll have to do for high school,’” Jackie Jensen said. “It was overwhelming but very well put together. I liked that it was in the gym as well, and that there were other students for him to talk to.”

Lowe laughingly “blamed” Campbell for recruiting her into Shoultes’ drama program.

“She had so much fun that I wanted to give it a try,” Lowe said.

“When I watched that first play, I thought it would be fun to act,” Campbell said.

Lowe and Campbell agreed that showing off on stage and making friends among their cast-mates have appealed enough to bring them back for more than one year, while Miller explained that acting affords him the opportunity to express himself in ways that he couldn’t in class, especially not as loudly.

“It’s fun when you can find things about a character that you can relate to,” Miller said.

“When you’re acting, you get to have an attitude, and be mean or cute,” Campbell said.

All three thespians deemed memorizing lines the hardest part of their jobs, which is why Lowe derives such satisfaction from delivering those lines correctly, while Miller added that the final scene in “Beauty and the Beast” posed another problem for him.

“The dancing was really awkward,” Miller said. “You think the other kids are going to laugh when they see you.”

“We’re not that old to be doing this,” Lowe said.

Lowe advised other students who might be interested in performing in Shoultes plays to give it a go and be themselves, while Lowe reassured them that their acting talent matters less than their willingness to go with the flow of put-

ting on such a play. In case they don’t get cast in an acting role, Miller encouraged those students to try out for the Shoultes School Choir, which provides musical accompaniment for the plays.

Hammer credited a number of former Shoultes students with pitching in to mentor their successors.

“Peyton Draper, the original Bruno from our first ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ came back to help the team practice,” Hammer said.

“His sister Sydney was my right-hand go-to girl. I don’t know what I would have done without her.”

While she credited parents and community members with making the plays possible through their contributions, and thanked the high school’s TV-3 program for filming the play, Hammer herself has invested countless hours off the clock into the productions, including using fur hats to transform Batman masks and knight helmets into headpieces for the wolves and the Beast.

With state budget cuts threatening the possibility of turning specialist positions such as hers into roving roles between different schools, Hammer expressed the concern that this year’s play might be Shoultes’ last.

“We’re all wondering what we’ll be doing next year,” Hammer said. “It’s not that I won’t have a job; I just won’t be here. I’m crossing my fingers, because I want to stay put. These plays have fostered immense team-building and become part of the Shoultes culture. Kids talk about it in the halls and get so excited as we gear up for it. We had parts for 38 kids this year, but we had 60 kids try out, out of a school of barely 400 students. I would be sad if this were to end.

It wasn’t my dream to walk away from it.”

TRAFTON — Since October of last year, the Oso Community Chapel has provided low- and nocost community services to the Trafton and Oso region, many through the former Trafton School building, from a fall festival and food distribution to square dancing, self-dense workshops, Zumba workouts and classes on computers, guitars and knitting.

According to Randi Ray, coordinator of these programs, the Oso Community Chapel is seeking to expand these services into a “Community Co-Op” program, which community members can learn more about at the Oso Fire Department on Saturday, March 31, starting at 10 a.m.

Counting my blessings

I

wept in the car when I left the Marysville Food Bank. In the passenger GUEST seat, my friend didn’t interOPINION rupt, certain I had no immeJ.R. NAKKEN diate reason for unhappy tears. And she was right, of course. I was crying for joy.

What thought had I ever given to our local food bank? Yes, I had put a can of something from my grocery bags into the barrel at the store when it was manned (usually womanned) and its sentry asked me to do so.

Stuff from my pantry shelves, mostly esoteric and unused for months since purchase, went to a girlfriend’s annual drive at her office. A can or two went to the local casino’s outreach, when it offered five bucks free play for each donation. My visual concept was, I fear, of the downtrodden and homeless being handed bunches of wilted carrots by dour do-gooder clerks.

I was in for a surprise, and challenge you to take a walk through the lines at 6518 60th Drive NE. The desk clerk who verified my friend’s eligibility and issued the wooden token that added federal commodities to her choices was more courteous than the receptionist at my beauty shop. A smiling volunteer handles the cart for each shopper, many of whom are elders. He/she explains the choices, does the reaching and lifting and keeps the lines moving. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this week’s federal commodities were Kellogg’s Corn Flakes and an off brand of creamed corn.

Her cart soon filled with frozen meats, cheese, eggs, produce and canned goods, mostly donations from local businesses.

(Another volunteer told me that the grocery/department store where I shop had just given them $18,000 to replace a freezer.)

She scored a bag of dinner rolls from the huge bread selection, delighted to have something to take to a mid-week potluck. I made a silent vow to put something worthwhile in the donation barrel each trip to the store.

So, why was I weeping? Counting my blessings caused some of the flood. But it began at the next-to-last stop of my friend’s cart. “Do you need cat food?” asked the volunteer. Many single elders have only their pets for companions, and I was touched by this outreach. Then, at the door, the happy man who wheeled our cart and unloaded our groceries was also distributing from a case of egg dyes and a pile of colorful plastic baskets. The children of young families who are food-bank eligible would not be without a back yard egg hunt, and these items were not surplus. It was two weeks before Easter. Our food bank and its generous suppliers seem to know that man does not live by bread alone.

An open letter to grandchildren

A

s your moms and dads know all too well, each generation thinks up ways to break loose and invents styles and behaviors to artfully annoy parents.

I know because I’ve been there and done that. And then you try the hyper-private thing. A parent asks, “Where are you going?”

You say, “Out.” “Who will you be with?”

“Some of the guys.”

“When will you be back?”

“After a while.”

Good parents do manage to wring a few particulars from tightmouthed sons but it takes work.

Daughters are another issue. Luckily it’s a phase that, for most kids, passes.

In some ways, kids of the 13th Century had it easy. Aside from starvation, disease, pillage and plunder, hundreds of years went by without much change to their neighborhoods. Generations cycled through the same houses, doing the same things, working at the same jobs with the same tools. One year was pretty much the same as the next.

Not so these days. I grew up with a technology that any thinking person could tinker with. When my car’s engine sputtered in a particular way, I loosened the screw securing the distributor. After turning it a couple of degrees one way I tightened it and fired it up. If it backfired and chugged fitfully, I turned it a bit the other way. Chances were that fixed it. Trial and error.

When the TV picture went bonkers I pulled vacuum tubes from its chassis (think motherboard) and socketed them into a tube-tester at the hardware store. When the tester’s needle didn’t swing into the green, a tube needed to be replaced.

Vacuum tubes made sense. Some had plates inside to hold electric charges. A signal from an antenna was amplified onto the plate so that

electrons wandering by could be regulated like cars in a regulated onramp. If handled right, the electron stream was readied to do something useful and that’s pretty much why cathode rays splattered black and white images onto TV screens. No mystery.

Other faulty bits of early radios and TVs could be cut out and new ones soldered in. Parts were big enough for pliers or soldering irons.

A little training and a person could follow a circuit like a road map, seeing how resistors and capacitors and tubes did their work to turn broadcast signals into intelligent sounds and pictures. It made visual sense.

That was then. This is now. People who grew up in that bygone era were smart in a way that fit technology that could actually be repaired. So we had radio and TV repair shops in most neighborhoods and car repair was done at the local service station.

When simpler gadgets malfunctioned, they were taken apart on the kitchen table. And fixed.

Nowadays, car problems are diagnosed with analyzers that even tell which tire is low. Whatever happens inside a smart phone is totally incomprehensible. You don’t fix them. You throw them away and get another. TV repairmen don’t really fix anything anymore. They unplug components, toss them out and plug in new modules. That’ll be $300 plus tax please.

Kids have no idea what goes on in today’s phones, computers or e-readers nor do they get hung up by needing to know. Having grown up with mysterious gadgetry, they don’t

question the leaps of faith it takes to accept whatever goes on inside. They can do that. I can’t.

I’m not totally comfortable trusting black boxes full of sub-microscopic secrets and that’s my excuse for not getting my mind around computer issues and stuff like programming new TV sets. What does that make me? Obsolete, antiquated, outmoded and dated. Guilty as charged.

The grandkids see me struggle to fix things that, in their world, would be in the bottom of the garbage can.

They watch me with wonder, like anthropologists watching apes probe termite mounds with sticks. Look, they say, he’s learned to use tools!

That archaic way of dealing with things grew from necessity. Because television sets were notorious for jumpy images that rolled up or down screens, a lot of time was spent fiddling with Vertical and Horizontal Hold knobs or doing the tube-test thing. Cars ran okay most of the time, but parts weren’t made to today’s exacting tolerances so they needed a lot of fixing during lives that fell short of 100,000 miles. In fact it was a rare odometer that could even register beyond 100,000.

Aging cars, a.k.a. rust-buckets, jalopies or rattle-traps, were teenagers’ schools for automotive technology. Tearing a motor apart to replace rings and whatever was an important step toward manhood, a rite of passage. No auto-shop class needed.

No computers, no black-boxes. Just a few of crescent and end wrenches and a couple of screwdrivers.

That’s the way my mind still works. Give me something observable to deal with and I’ll handle it.

But give me a black box of mysteries all covered with push-buttons and I’ll pass it off to a grandson or granddaughter as quick as I can.

Cascade Skagit Health Alliance opens in Smokey Point movable computer terminals with which they and their healthcare providers can access their fully digital medical records.

“The beds are wider than industry standard, and you

can raise the back up and down, so you don’t have to step up on it,” Jacobs said.

“We even have buffer screens in the doorjambs, so that people outside can’t see through the crack of the

door when it’s being opened or closed.”

To further facilitate patient care, in part by encouraging healthcare providers to stay on their feet, none of the healthcare providers at the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance have their own offices. Instead, they all work from a long hallway of computer terminals, that also allows them greater freedom of movement between the “healthways” of patient rooms.

“We also made sure the call center was separate from the front desk, so that those who called in would have privacy while reception staff would be able to focus fully on the people standing in

front of them.”

“It’s gratifying when an idea can become a reality like this,” Davidson said. “We’re improving access to healthcare for the region, in a healing environment that looks less institutional, through the use of stone and wood and other natural elements, to help create the best experience possible for patients.”

Cavanaugh compared the opening of the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance to his recent climb up Mount Kilimanjaro, when he reached a plateau near the top and realized that his hike to the top was not yet done.

“We’ve still got a ways to go,” Cavanaugh said. “But it’s worth the climb.”

SMOKEY POINT — The longtime collaboration between the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics in Arlington and the Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon is now set is stone, literally, with the opening of the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance, a 42,000-squarefoot multi-specialty medical facility in Smokey Point.

The facility opened to patients on March 26, but not before a VIP open house on March 22, which offered guided tours of the two-story building’s host of unique features.

Clark Jones, administrator of the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, was joined by Dr. Tim Cavanaugh, the board chair for Cascade Valley, as well as Gregg Davidson, CEO of the Skagit Valley Hospital, and Jim Hobbs, Skagit Valley’s longest serving commissioner, in celebrating the opening of the facility, on time and $1 million under budget.

“We’d originally projected a total cost of $12.5 million, but we’re now looking at $11.5 million,” said Jones, who credited these savings to Botesch, Nash & Hall Architects and Synergy Construction.

This investment has given the Cascade Skagit Health Alliance 58 examination rooms and four procedure rooms in primary care, 10 examination rooms and two procedure rooms in urgent care, a short-bore MRI and a digital X-ray, for a starting crew of 14 primary care and three urgent care physicians to practice family, internal and occupational medicine, as well as pediatrics and women’s health, with full lab services. The facility will even host three oncologists and a rotating trio of specialists in not only oncology, but also cardiology and plastic and reconstructive surgery.

“We’re expanding primary and urgent care from our current hours, moving our cancer care from the hospital and bringing specialists to the area who weren’t previously available,” Jones said.

“And this is just the start.

We’ll be adding more personnel as time goes on.”

“This is an excellent example of the very successful collaboration between our two hospitals,” Hobbs said.

“We’re working together to better meet the needs of our patients. It’s the hospitals that will rise to the challenge of new healthcare demands

that will survive.”

Beverly Jacobs, the on-site director of operations, showed off the facility’s “healthways” of patient rooms with electronically adjustable patient beds and

Chargers fall to Tomahawks 13-1

MARYSVILLE — Marysville’s two high schools faced off on the baseball diamond March 21 and the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks walked away with a five-inning, 13-1 victory.

“Offensively we did okay, we got off to a bit of a slow start,” said M-P head coach Kurt Koshelnik.

“Getchell had a submarine pitcher [sophomore Rylan Faucett] — a guy who came from way down low and you don’t see that very often. He was pretty good and was spotting up. It took us a while to adjust, but when we got there some good things started to happen.”

Koshelnik said that both John Naff and Joe Morgan had good games at the plate with each getting three hits and a couple of RBIs. “They’re the top of the order guys for us so we need them hit for us to get going,” said Koshelnik. “And eventually they did and we started getting hits and scoring runs.”

In addition to his team doing well at the plate, Koshelnik praised the work of his team’s pitchers.

“Jake Johnson was our starting pitcher,” said Koshelnik. “He did everything we asked him to do. He went out and threw strikes and got ahead of the batters. He only gave up a couple of hits, worked fast and

really pounded the strike zone.”

Although 3A Marysville Getchell was playing 4A Marysville-Pilchuck in the non-league matchup, Charger head coach Gerry Klep said his team wasn’t focused on their opponents.

“We don’t focus on who we’re playing, we focus on playing our game,” said Klep. “Our focus has been on our defense. If you can’t stop guys from scoring and moving around the bases, you won’t win games no matter how well you hit the ball.”

This is the inaugural season for MG baseball and first-year head coach Klep pointed out that this team has no players with varsity experience.

“I’m really proud of these guys and their approach to the game, and how well they have united together,” Klep said. “It couldn’t be a better situation for a new coach and a new program.

We’re just trying to win games and build confidence in these kids, and make sure they enjoy their time playing baseball.”

“I was impressed with Getchell and their coaching staff, especially Gerry Klep in particular, for going out and building that program from the ground up and teaching the players the right things,” said Koshelnik. “The program is on the right track and they’re going to be a good team.”

Lakewood grad wins wrestling championship

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Christina Ordonez started wrestling in her junior year at Lakewood High School and, this spring, the LHS Class of 2009 alum saw her five years of hard work in the field pay off.

Ordonez won First-Place All-American at 159 pounds in the National College Women’s Wrestling Association National Championships in Daytona Beach, Fla., from March 8-10.

“There was a total of 40 girls at the tournament, and only three in my weight class,” said Ordonez, currently a student at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. “I only had two matches.”

Although she’s modest about her successes, Ordonez has devoted a great deal of effort and countless hours to training and competing.

“A friend of mine got into it because it seemed like a great way to get into really good shape,” Ordonez said, before laughing, “Of course, you wind up in a little worse shape after your season,

when you’re eating as much as you were during the season.”

Ordonez described strength as one of her assets as a wrestler, both at LHS and at Jamestown College in North Dakota, which she attended before going to CWU. “I like wrestling because you can work hard and see improvement within a couple of weeks,” Ordonez said. “My techniques and habits have changed as I’ve chosen to work on different areas.”

While Ordonez picked up what she called “bread and butter” techniques, such as arm-bars and pinning, at Lakewood, she believes the much more valuable gift that her years of wrestling for Lakewood gave her was confidence.

“It taught me the right mentality,” said Ordonez, who won a state championship in her second year of wrestling for Lakewood. “If you’re going up against someone who doesn’t think they’re going to lose, you’ll have a hard time beating them, because they’ve got that fight in them.”

Aside from the days when she’s been home from school, Ordonez’s schedule from September of last year up to the NCWWA National Championships in March has been a near-constant series of practices and matches, as well as weightlifting three times a week during the quarter leading up to her trip to Daytona Beach.

“Wrestling against some of the big names in college wrestling as a freshman benefited me, I think,” said Ordonez, who’s part of a women’s wrestling club at CWU, but was a member of the school team at Jamestown, which offered it as a varsity sport. “Wrestling has definitely been an experience.

It’s the best choice I ever made.

I’m still building my skills, but I’m happy to be good.”

Ordonez encouraged other young women to look into wrestling, since women’s wrestling programs are on the grow on many college campuses.

“You get to travel and bond with your teammates,” Ordonez said. “I can’t describe the feeling of sisterhood that you get from it.”

United Way honors Marysville residents its own initiatives, United Way supports 102 programs through 39 local nonprofits touching the lives of 330,000 people each year.

Marysville resident Josh Estes won the Labor Partnership Award. Estes is the former president of the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers Local 183, one of the local unions representing Kimberly-Clark employees. He currently sits on the United Way of Snohomish County’s Board of Directors and is chair of its Labor Advisory Committee.

“He worked to secure funding through KimberlyClark for the local Toys for Tots office as well as the Letter Carriers Food Drive,” Ambler said. “He has also started volunteering once a week on opening new doors, creating additional partnerships between United Way and local businesses. A member of the current Leadership Snohomish County class, he goes above and beyond in all the work he does in his partnership with United Way.” Estes’ union previously won the award in 2009 and 2010.

Nancy Abell won the Employee Campaign Manager for a Medium Company for the city of Marysville.

“A successful campaign needs an outstanding Employee Campaign Manager,” Ambler said.

“Employee Campaign

Managers are the heart of the campaign. Their ability to see the potential in every gift generates the energy and dedication that drive the campaign.”

Ambler credited Abell with running the largest United Way campaign in the city’s history, with 89 percent of gifts going to the Local Community Fund, a total campaign that was 26 percent higher than last year and an almost 50 percent increase in Leadership givers.

“Her campaign grew to almost $17,000 this year,” Ambler said. “Nancy made sure everyone knew about the many volunteer efforts by their coworkers, showcasing some of the programs funded by United Way. Nancy leads by example. She is a giver, a volunteer and an advocate.”

Marysville residents Lindsay Crow and Jane Hoagland won the Employee Campaign Manager for a Small Company for Rodland Toyota/Scion.

“How many clowns can you fit into a Camry?”

Ambler said. “The entire campaign team, if you’re Rodland Toyota/Scion.

They came complete with balloon hats, floppy shoes and red noses. [They] held their own carnival as their 2011 campaign theme.”

Ambler explained that Crow and Hoagland led “Team Rodland” with special events and tours of United Way-funded programs, after kicking off

“Lindsay, Jane and the entire team worked tirelessly to make their campaign informative and fun, and the results speak for themselves,” Ambler said.

“A 14 percent increase in participation and a whopping 94 percent of all gifts going to the Local Community Fund. Not bad for a company that won the President’s Award in 2007.”

Marysville resident and Employee Campaign Manager Barbara Parkhurst helped accept the award given to Damar AeroSystems for Best New Campaign. “[It] jumped on the Live United bandwagon firing on all cylinders,” Ambler said. “It began with a huge Days of Caring project, clearing land in Monroe for a new Housing Hope location, and included a ton of special events, including a blazing-hot chili cook-off.”

Every employee at Damar AeroSystems was given the opportunity to participate in their firstever campaign, and was also updated on a regular basis about community conditions and needs affecting those around them on a regular basis.

“And the results were amazing,” Ambler said.

“Almost $15,000 in employee contributions, with 70 percent going to the Local Community Fund.”

EVERETT — Marysville residents and city employees were among the more than 400 representatives of Snohomish County companies, nonprofits, school districts and government agencies celebrating the close of the 2011 Community Caring Campaign, benefiting United Way of Snohomish County, on March 6.

The evening celebrated the third year in a row where revenues held steady despite difficult economic times. This included contributions to the various United Way campaigns, the Combined Federal Campaign and the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound.

Although United Way is also raising money through for its endowment, is actively seeking grants, and works with policymakers to leverage state and federal dollars, the annual campaign through various worksites continues to be the group’s primary source of revenue.

“The money we raise, particularly the contributions that go to our Local Community Fund, go to ensuring that kids are ready to learn, that families have financial stability and our community as a whole is healthy,” said Sue Ambler, CEO of the Workforce Development Council of Snohomish County and chair of the 2011 Campaign.

Capt. Ruth to take command of USS Nimitz

EVERETT — Capt.

Jeffrey S. Ruth will take command of USS Nimitz (CVN 68) from Capt. Paul O. Monger during a ceremony on Thursday, March 29, at 10 a.m. aboard the aircraft carrier while in port at Naval Station Everett.

Rear Adm. Peter A. Gumataotao — Commander, Carrier Strike Group 11 — will be the guest speaker.

Monger assumed command of the Nimitz in August of 2009 and led the ship through an eightmonth deployment, during which the ship launched more than 2,600 combat missions in direct support of Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. Under Monger’s leadership, the Nimitz steamed more than 77,000 nautical miles, safely completed more than 12,000 aircraft sorties and success-

fully completed a rigorous Board of Inspection and Survey (INSURV) material inspection. Under Monger’s watch, the Nimitz also completed a 15-month, $239 million, 700,000 mandays Docking Planned Incremental Availability — a most successful maintenance availability package completed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

The ship also conducted two changes of home port within a 12-month period, relocating more than 3,000 Nimitz sailors and families from San Diego, Calif., to Bremerton, Wash., then to Everett.

During Monger’s tenure, the Nimitz earned the Adm. Vern Clark Unit Safety Award in 2010, its sixth consecutive Golden Anchor Award, the Capt.

Ney Food Service Award for 2010, the 2010 AIMD Black “E,” its seventh and

eighth consecutive medical Blue “M,” and a second consecutive Green Safety “S.” Prior to arriving to the Nimitz, Ruth commanded the U.S. Sixth Fleet’s flag-

ship, USS Mount Whitney (LCC 20). He entered the nuclear power training pipeline in July of 2006 and served as executive officer of USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) from March of

2008 to December of 2009.

Ruth was born in Key West, Fla., grew up in San Diego, and graduated with distinction from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1986 with a Bachelor of Science degree

in aeronautical engineering. He reported to flight school at Naval Air Station Pensacola later that year, and was designated a Naval Flight Officer in January of 1988.

er and youth advocate, and has been providing training to EvCC student leaders for 10 years.

The goal of the conference is to inspire middle and high school students of color to expand their education and career goals, according to Karena Hooks, EvCC director of outreach and diversity.

Hooks explained that students of color in Snohomish County are disproportionately affected by poverty and reduction in resources, which contribute to low retention and graduation rates.

“We want students to leave the conference believing in the possibilities of a ‘Yes I can’ attitude, and knowing that help is available to them,” said Bill Reed, an EvCC accounting instructor and co-founder of the conference.

The conference is cosponsored by the city of Everett, Snohomish County, and Everett and Marysville public schools.

Cascade Valley Hospital, Sea Mar offer whooping cough vaccine

SNOHOMISH COUNTY — With reported cases of whooping cough reaching what Snohomish Health District officials have deemed epidemic numbers, area health agencies are taking steps to help protect the public.

“Marysville has been hit particularly hard,” said Suzanne Pate, public information officer for the Snohomish Health District, whose numbers showed Marysville lead-

adults older than 18, the remaining 19 cases were children aged 5-17 years.

Marysville showed a similar distribution of cases, with six affecting adults older than 18, three diagnoses of whooping cough in children aged 1-4 years, and only one confirmed case of an infant less than a year old contracting the illness, while the remaining 48 reports were for children aged 5-17 years. Last year, 224 confirmed cases were reported to the Snohomish Health District, including one infant death.

Everett came in third with 20 cases.

While one of Arlington’s cases was a child aged 1-4 years, and two others were

officer for the Snohomish Health District, nonetheless believes whooping cough in Snohomish County is not limited by age groups or geography, since a combination of factors could cause more reports in certain cities, including physicians who might be more alert to the signs of whooping cough in those areas. Most cases of whooping cough go unreported, especially in adults.

Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington will be giving commuters a chance to receive free whooping cough shots after work on Wednesday,

April 4, between 4-8 p.m. in the Rainier Room at 330 S. Stillaguamish Ave. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended by calling 425-339-8694 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3.

The Snohomish Health District will provide about 250 adult doses of whooping cough vaccine, made available through the AmeriCares patient assistance program and a $5,000 grant from the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation. Three previous free clinics in Snohomish County vaccinated a total of 756 adults.

Snohomish Health District officials encourage all adults, especially those who have contact with infants, to get vaccinated. People of all ages need booster shots to main-

tain their immunity, and most adults aren’t up to date on their shots. A single shot known as “Tdap” prevents not only whooping cough, but also tetanus and diphtheria.

Children’s vaccines are free or low-cost, while vaccines for adults may be covered by private health insurance or Medicaid, or offered at reduced cost at the Sea Mar Community Health Center in Marysville, at 9710 State Ave., as well as the Community Health Centers and Snohomish Health District clinic in Everett, the latter based on income.

You can download vaccine information sheets and consent forms in English and Spanish at the Snohomish Health District’s website, at www.snohd.org.

and left $785.00 richer.

Dozens cash in yesterday with jewelry, railroad watches and guitars.

An estimated $200,000 in Marysville!

By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

The first days of the reclamation drive in Marysville will be a hit with those looking to sell their gold and silver. Representatives are on hand this week purchasing all types of unwanted and broken jewelry. An estimated 55 people left the event with over $200 dollars from old class rings, wedding bands, herringbones, and gold teeth.

Coins dated 1970 and earlier were bringing big premiums as well. Silver dollars, halves and quarters arrived in large quantities. Lots of gold coins were also brought in.

Rebecca Hughes walked away with over $1200.00 after selling an original $20 gold piece from 1888.

On the other side of the room were representatives

from the Buyers Association.

They were purchasing all types of guitars, large currency bills dated before 1923, military items and pocket watches.

One watch was purchased by a collector in Montana for $835 dollars. There were piles of sterling silver items like old silverware sets and tea pots.

One gentleman rolled a cart in with 3 boxes full of silver coins.

Company officials reported spending over $80,000 the first day of the event, alone.

Brian Eades with Ohio Valley said, “We have had an overwhelming turnout this first day and we expect to get busier every day this week.”

The event continues today and runs through Saturday. The event is free and the public is welcome.

Amazing Technology Relieves Serious Back Pain

Who Else Wants to Get Rid of Sciatica, Bulging Discs, And Leg Pain Once And For All? “But I feel fine – as long as I take my pain pills.”

(ONLY $25 TO ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING WITH THESE CONDITIONS)

There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem!

H

aving back and leg pain can feel like a crippling condition.

Spinal decompression just may be the answer that you’ve been looking for. Ask yourself … after taking all these pain medications and playing the ‘wait and see game’, maybe for years…are you any better off?

You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

Call 360-474-9900 and tell the receptionist you’d like to come in for the Special Decompression Evaluation before April 10, 2012.

If you’ve suffered from any of these annoying conditions, you may have “Sciatica”.

We can get started with your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule.

Our office is called Arlington Spine Center and we are located at 215 E. 3rd. St.

Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve, usually by an L4 or L5 disc herniations. As you know, sciatica can be a very painful problem, even crippling at times.

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away!

I look forward to helping you get rid of your pain so you can start living a healthier, more joyful life.

Sincerely,

Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated by nonsurgical spinal decompression.

Dr. Scott Peseau, D.C. P.S. The only real question to ask yourself is this…

“What’s The Chance This Will Work For Me?” A medical study found patients went from moderately painful to almost no pain with decompression

Do you have any of the following symptoms...

• Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet

What Will Your Pain Feel Like 1 Month From Today?

Dr. Scott Peseau enjoying time eith his son Will

One of the biggest myths about pain is that it goes away all by itself, without any treatment.

It’s time for you to find out if spinal decompression will be your sciatic pain solution. For 10 days only, $25 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $230 for!

A May 1998 study in the British Medical Journal proved this myth false, showing that 75% of back pain sufferers who do nothing about it will have either pain

What does this offer include?

Everything. Here’s what you’ll get…

Here’s What Our Patients Say...

• Tingling or burning sensations

• An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• Weakness in the arms or legs

• A complete neuromuscular examination ($75 value).

• Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

treatments. Those that took pain pills improved less than 5%. ~ Am Society of Anesthesiologist, 2006 Chicago, IL Another study presented at the American Academy of Pain Management in 2007 showed…

“Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function…No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).”

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… ($80 value).

• A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free. ($75 value).

• You’ll get to see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

I’ll answer all your most probing question about our pain free back evaluation and what it can do for you.

The appointment will not take long at all and you won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either.

And the best part about it is...

These are just two studies out of a dozen done in the last few years, all showing promising results.

No Dangerous Drugs, No Invasive Procedures, And No Painful Exercises

Here’s the point of all these studies… spinal decompression has a high success rate with helping disc herniations, sciatica, and back pain.

Spinal decompression treatments are very gentle. In fact, I even catch a few patients sleeping during sessions every once and awhile.

This means in just a matter of weeks you could be back on the golf course, enjoying your love life, or traveling again.

You’ll simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to focus on your problem area – then the advanced decompression computer system will do the rest.

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Sciatica and Back Pain Due to Federal law some exclusions may apply.

“I had pain in my lower back which radiated into my left leg and foot, causing me to have severe foot drop, where I could not lift my foot when walking. I came to the Arlington Spine Center and Dr. Peseau examined me and explained my condition and the risks of not getting treatment and the benefits of his Spinal Decompression Program. I decided to start the Spinal Decompression Program and the results have exceeded my expectations. The treatment is extremely comfortable and now the LIFE is returning to my leg and I can lift my foot again. The process has been positive and pleasant.

At my age of 78, I really need to stay mobile and I am determined to make a full recovery. Thank you to the doctors and staff at the Arlington Spine Center for their dedication to helping senior citizens like myself lead more active and mobile lifestyles! ~ Gertrude Pater

or disability 12 months later.

Let’s face it, if the pain hasn’t gone away by now, it’s not likely to disappear on its own.

Life’s too short to live in pain like this. Call today and soon I’ll be giving you the green light to have fun again.
