ARLINGTON — It’s a show that’s been nearly a year in the making, and the student performers and faculty supervisors alike consider it the Arlington High School Drama Department’s biggest production yet.

“White Christmas” concludes its two-week run Dec. 10 and 11, starting at 7 p.m. both nights, in the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center, located at 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd. in Arlington.

LAKEWOOD — The generosity of a local potato farmer allowed the student body of Lakewood High School to help round out the holiday meals of area food bank customers.

LHS freshman Molly Stuller and senior Cameron Howard coordinated the bagging of an estimated 12 tons of potatoes, which eventually saw each student at the school filling an average of 15 bags of potatoes for Marysville and Arlington food banks. Before they were bagged, the potatoes filled a 20-foot by 30-foot enclosure that added up to a mountain that, at its height, stretched taller than the students who worked on it.

“A truck backed up and just dumped all these pota-

toes on us,” Stuller said.

“Our greenhouse teacher has so many connections with local farmers,” said Howard, who noted that both the teacher and the farmer wished to remain anonymous to ensure that the students received the majority of attention for this good deed. “We did a lot of cleaning of potatoes.

I stayed there to finish bagging potatoes for 10 evenings.”

Howard and Stuller were quick to share credit with their fellow students, which Stuller helped recruit by submitting letters to each teacher’s classroom requesting that they allow their classes to take part in bagging the potatoes. Howard added a bit of incentive by suggesting to the teachers SEE SPUDS, PAGE 3

Local pharmacies help each other after fire

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Although a Nov. 22 fire has temporarily closed the Quilceda Pharmacy in Marysville, Cory Duskin has promised his customers that they can still obtain their same medications, from the same staff members, at the Cumulus Pharmacy in Smokey Point.

Duskin owns the Quilceda, Cumulus and Arlington pharmacies, and while he acknowledged that the fire damage to his building at the 9500 block of State Avenue in Marysville represents an estimated loss of approximately $1 million, he feels strongly that his own difficulties should not be passed onto his customers.

“When people call the phone number for the

“Class after class came by to help,” Stuller said.

“It was like a party,” laughed Kristi Lentz, a Spanish teacher at the school who helped oversee the two-week-long bagging effort. “No one person wound up being in charge.”

“A conductor can’t really

Quilceda Pharmacy, their calls are automatically picked up at the Cumulus Pharmacy,” Duskin said.

“We tentatively expect to have the Quilceda Pharmacy building repaired and cleaned up like new within a couple of weeks, after which time we plan to move back in.”

Duskin assured his customers that none of their records were lost, damaged or compromised, and added that they’re accessible at both the Cumulus and Arlington pharmacies.

“All of our Quilceda Pharmacy staff have been relocated to the Cumulus Pharmacy,” said Duskin, who noted that the Quilceda Pharmacy’s Walk-In Clinic had already been consolidated into the Arlington Pharmacy last February.

“Our customers might have to drive a few extra

miles, but we still have all their insurance data and we can still handle their refills.

We’re still here to take care of them as seamlessly as possible.”

Duskin admitted that the magnitude of the fire losses hasn’t fully sunk in yet, but he remains focused on addressing those issues as they come up.

“I’m probably still in shock and haven’t wrapped my brain around it entirely yet,” Duskin said. “It’s like the old saying about eating an elephant, where you have to do it one bite at a time. I’m just checking off everything that’s on my list of things that I have to do right now. Our recovery is secondary to minimizing the inconvenience to our customers. Don’t think that this fire has shut us down.

We’re just moving forward, is all.”

take credit for the work of their orchestra,” Howard said.

Although a number of the potatoes that remain were sorted out because they’d gone bad or had been damaged, many more stayed in excellent shape, were bagged and are waiting to be taken to their food banks in the area.

“We called all the food banks to see which ones needed potatoes,” Howard said. “The one in Marysville

was so low that they were only giving out two potatoes to each family of six. They needed more, especially for holiday meals. You could tell it meant a lot to them.”

“That was one of the best parts,” Stuller said. “It left some of them speechless.”

Howard noted that the potato-bagging effort was initiated by a freshman and a senior, which he feels shows how pervasive the school’s community spirit is throughout its grade levels.

Firefighters demolish Station 46 Special to The Arlington Times

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Fire Department bid farewell to a familiar landmark on the morning of Nov. 30, as part of their transition into new lodgings next year.

“Arlington firefighters were allowed to do something they’ve wanted to do for years — tear apart Arlington Fire Station 46,” Arlington Community Emergency Management Coordinator Christine Badger said.

Firefighters began demolishing the old structure at 11 a.m., putting into practice the same skills they’ve developed in breaking through buildings while fighting fires. They employed equipment ranging from hand and power

“Rebuilding Station 46 has been a long time coming.”

“Rebuilding Station 46 has been a long time coming,” Arlington Deputy Fire Chief Tom Cooper said. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to start the demolition, because that means a new building will be going up soon.”

Cooper explained that the portion of the structure that was removed had served the Arlington Fire Department and community for decades, and was “a cornerstone of much of

the community’s history.”

Nonetheless, he noted that its structural deterioration, instability and lack of workable area for staff were key factors in the decision to rebuild.

The station’s existing truck bays will remain intact, since they’re not part of the rebuild, and they’ll continue to house fire apparatus during the construction phase.

Arlington fire and EMS staff have been moved to other stations and adjacent offices until the new station is completed, which Badger estimated would happen by June of next year.

ARLINGTON — Paul Nyenhuis has worked as an aircraft mechanic at the Arlington Municipal Airport for more than 35 years and Cathy Mighell hopes to shine a spotlight on him and a number of his fellow aviators from around the area for a good cause.

“Paul has been known to come out after hours to help pilots that need assistance, and is also dedicated to prison ministry work for young people,” said Mighell, owner of Out of the Blue Aviation at the Arlington Airport.

“Our calendar shows him with his twin-engine Cessna 310 and one of the custom flutes that he makes.”

Out of the Blue has produced a “Men of Aviation” calendar for 2011, and Nyenhuis is one of the men featured. All proceeds from sales of the calendars will go toward promoting aviation for area youth through “Young Aviator” scholarships and other young pilot programs, but Mighell also wants to showcase a few of the faces that she feels have helped make the Arlington Airport community so special.

“I wanted to pay tribute

to their stories,” Mighell said. “So many people here have such fascinating backgrounds. I could have filled this calendar three times over with interesting details.”

Mighell acknowledged that many of the prospective subjects of the calendar were shy about receiving so much attention at first, but once they realized that the calendars would help support youth aviation they became eager to participate.

Mighell’s goal is to raise at least $2,000 for Young Aviator scholarships.

“There are so many really unique people right here in Arlington that it was a struggle just to highlight the most significant details,” Mighell said. “Hans von der Hofen, one of our pilots, restores Navy jets and has trained other pilots including Pete Pettigrew, the retired instructor who was the inspiration for the character of ‘Viper’ in the movie ‘Top Gun.’”

Mighell describes herself as passionate about supporting youth aviation training because she believes that teaching young people about aviation is valuable even if they never enter the field of aviation themselves.

“Not all of the kids that get this training will choose to become pilots, but a lot of them will still be inspired to study aeronautics or engineering,” Mighell said. “It can still serve as a confidence-builder for them, though. Aviation is empowering. Kids often don’t feel like they’re in control, but as a pilot you’re in charge of your own life.”

This year marks Out of the Blue’s first “Men of Aviation” calendar, and Mighell is already considering a “Women of Aviation” calendar for 2012.

Savoy joins staff at The Arlington Times

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Erika Savoy, the newest advertising sales consultant for The Arlington Times and The Marysville Globe, is a local native who brings a diversity of time-tested skills to the table for her clients, but what she enjoys most is making new connections for her clients.

“I once joked that my ideal job would be if someone paid me to network with others,” said Savoy, a 1993 graduate of MarysvillePilchuck High School. “It turns out that networking is about 80 percent of my job here.”

Savoy still maintains her own graphic design firm as a part-time sideline, but she’s eager to set up new markets for Sound Publishing not only in Everett, but also Edmonds, Mukilteo and

Whidbey Island.

“I have eight years of experience in graphic design, but I put myself through college with my sales work,” said Savoy, whose previous employers have included Comcast, Qwest and Group Health. “I have a lot of contacts in Everett. I’ll be looking for package deals for coverage. I like meeting new people, I’m from here and I know the area. My family’s based here, so I’m not going anywhere.”

With her dual qualifications in graphic design and sales, Savoy expressed confidence that she can help clients develop the right ads for their target markets.

“Getting people shopping out in their local areas is vital to our economy,” Savoy said. “It’s exciting to be here and help make that happen.

I’m looking forward to stepping up to that challenge, and I plan on being here for

Tips to keep children safe

A

s we head into the holiday season, Safe Kids Snohomish GUEST County and Marysville Fire District want to help you keep your OPINION family safe. Kids are often injured at KRISTEN THORSTENSON home, where they should feel safest.

There are even more dangers lurkMARYSVILLE FIRE DISTRICT ing this time of year, injuries range from burns and scalds, poisonings and home fires. Keep this in mind: Nothing is as important as parental supervision for children. As they develop through life, they will need different levels of supervision as they come up against different dangers. Here are just a few suggestions: While in the kitchen turn pan handles inward to prevent accidental burns to yourself and children. “Keep children away from cooking and heating appliances. Never leave the kitchen while you are cooking,” adds Shawneri Guzman, Safe Kids Snohomish County Coordinator.

Keep medications and cleaners out of reach of children. Many medications look appealing to children they have bright colors and can look like candy. With out of town guests this holiday season, they might be out of the habit of having young children around, keep medications out of reach.

While shopping for toys for children, pay close attention to the suggested ages and stages. Remember, anything that will fit in a toilet paper roll is too small and can be a hazard for a child under three to choke on.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Place candles in a safe location away from combustible materials and where children or pets cannot tip them over.

Keep lighters and matches out of reach of children. Kids are naturally curious about fire, but it is not natural for them to experiment with fire. If you are unsure about your child’s curiosity about fire, contact your local fire department or Safe Kids at 360-363-8507.

Never overload extension cords. It is easy to get caught in the excitement of holiday lights. It doesn’t take much to overload an extension cord.

Close bedroom doors. A closed door can act as a barrier, providing valuable time for a rescue from outside the home.

Only working smoke alarms save lives! Smoke and fire spread quickly – you may only have minutes to escape! Make sure you have smoke alarms in every room where someone might sleep and on every level of your home. Many local fire departments have smoke alarms available and would be more than happy to install them in your home.

Have and practice your home fire escape plan. There is no time like the present to determine if your children will awaken to a smoke alarm. It has been determined many children do not wake to traditional smoke alarm sounds. We would rather you find out during a drill if your family may need to purchase a smoke alarm with voice recording capability. Chances are higher they would wake to your voice.

Call 9-1-1!

Get out – Stay out! Once you are out do not go back into your house for anything.

Consider a home sprinkler system. The combination of smoke alarms and sprinklers can reduce your chances of dying in a fire by 82 percent.

Remember nothing is as important as you when it comes to keeping your child safe, keep an eye on the children in your life.

Have a safe & happy holiday season. For more information visit www. snosafekids.org.

Marysville ready for severe weather

W

hen the recent preThanksgiving holiday ice and snowstorm blanketed our region and brought daily life to a snail’s pace for a few days, the City of Marysville was ready.

Our Public Works crews mobilized earlier this year by readying snow removal equipment, stockpiling supplies, training, and updating the City’s snow routes map.

If the major snow and ice events during the past two winters taught us anything, it is that we would rather be over-prepared than underprepared. Public safety is a priority year-round, and no less so during a winter storm. We want to reassure citizens that the City of Marysville is committed to maintaining quality service during severe weather events, and doing what is necessary to protect lives and property.

Snow and ice removal are one of the city’s biggest unscheduled events. I commend our employees for their swift, well-orchestrated response to the recent storm. Our first concern is safety on local roads, and keeping traffic moving throughout Marysville as efficiently as possible.

The City maintains 411 lane miles of streets (196 miles of streets), which is roughly equivalent to the distance from Marysville to the California border. A general plowing operation includes a half-dozen vehicles covering 66 routes around the City.

Street crews provide round-theclock coverage, conducting periodic sanding and snow-ice removal to mitigate conditions during a severe weather event. Work is ideally performed during overnight hours when traffic is light, but a plowing operation can commence at a moment’s notice, such as our immediate response to SR 528 and 67th Avenue when vehicles were unable to get up the hill.

Marysville’s fleet consists of two five-yard trucks, two 10-yard trucks and one 3-yard truck each with plow and sanding capability. The City earlier this year

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

purchased a third 10-yard truck, slightly used and winter-tested in Colorado. Street crews also use slide-in anti/de-icing liquid dispensing tanks and a motor grader.

During this snow event, Public Works crews dumped 180 tons of sand, and applied 35 tons of thawing agents and 50 gallons of anti-icing solution on local roads.

The Public Works yard was amply stockpiled, with some materials reallocated to a new north satellite storage area near 156th Street to provide quicker response to Marysville’s north end and Lakewood neighborhoods. Crews chalked up 385 hours of worker time directly responding to the snow and ice event, including 181 hours of plowing. Total costs ran more than $30,000, excluding cleanup.

The question we get asked most often by residents during winter snowstorms is why the City doesn’t plow their own neighborhood road.

The City attempts to make local roads as accessible as possible for the public and commuters heading to and from work and schools, but simply doesn’t have the resources to plow or sand every residential neighborhood street and cul de sac.

The City’s Snow and Ice Removal Plan updated in 2010 designates snow and ice routes for sanding and plowing using a zoned system. Within each zone, a system of priority has been established taking into consideration topography, traffic volumes and special usage. The Street Department focuses removal efforts based on arterials leading in and out of Marysville, hillside arterials, fire and police access, and all other

primary and secondary city routes.

To view the Snow Routes map, visit the City website at http://marysvillewa.gov.

Marysville is a hilly city, so some roads may be closed by City personnel due to safety concerns.

The City has crews that drive sanitation trucks and other heavy Public Works vehicles on a daily basis, in addition to police vehicles.

We won’t jeopardize the safety of City employees by putting them in dangerous winter driving situations, for example, in inaccessible hilly areas. Sanitation crews, it should be mentioned, performed admirably under the circumstances to complete all garbage collection routes on time and on schedule.

The City recently unveiled new user-friendly options to provide citizens and businesses with the latest emergency alerts and updates on winter storm conditions. Our website offers a new “Emergency Alert” system that you can access.

Click on the “Emergency Alert” icon in the lower left-hand corner of our website. A Red Emergency Alert light means emergency conditions exist in the City. The remodeled website next year will expand this service by sending emergency updates automatically to you via e-mail.

You can also call Marysville’s Emergency Alert Hotline at 360363-8118, though water and sewer emergencies still must call 360363-8100 during business hours, or 911 after hours. Information is also posted on our cable access stations, TV21 (Comcast) and TV25 (Frontier).

In my estimation, the pre-planning that occurred well before this first winter blast got our community through the storm relatively unscathed, and it bodes well that we will be ready for the next storm that this forecasted cold, wet and snowy winter is sure to deliver.

ARLINGTON — Reading with Rover is an exciting new program being used at Eagle Creek Elementary School.

The community-based volunteer program brings certified therapy dogs and their handlers into schools, libraries and bookstores allowing children an opportunity to practice reading aloud.

The Reading for Rover program and its affiliates throughout the country have had great success using the program to become more confident in their reading skills. The trainers and dogs working at Eagle Creek Elementary have been trained in the Redmond-Woodinville area and go to several schools in Snohomish and King coun-

ties. The training certification is good for two years and then the dogs need to be recertified.

Cory Timm, an Arlington school teacher, learned about the program through her graduate work in literacy at Western Washington University. She was excited about the prospects of offering this opportunity to the district’s elementary students.

When asked, third-grader K.C. Green said, “I feel special being part of the program since there aren’t very many kids in it yet. I makes me want to read more and buy more books at the book fair.”

Several of the children are now reading to their pets at home as well. Timm hopes the program will expand to additional schools in the district next year.

Church prepares meals for ‘Children of Nations’

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — They expected to put assemble between 12,000 and 16,000 meals for families in thirdworld countries.

Instead, the 60 volunteers who showed up at the Arlington Free Methodist Youth Center at 10 a.m. on Nov. 13 had already assembled 11,500 such meals for the “Children of the Nations”

by noon that day, and put together 18,000 meals by the time they finished that afternoon.

Even in the midst of being interviewed, Pastor Chuck Shocki repeatedly revised up the estimated number of meals that would be put together that day, he received word of more and more financial donations that had come in at the last minute.

Each meal package feeds six people and costs 25 cents each.

“It’s amazing,” Shocki said.

“We began the day with video

footage of families in need eating the meals and, after a week, you could see their nutrition visibly improving.

We’d love to do this as an ongoing thing. We’ve just been a well-oiled machine,” he laughed.

Jeanne Wessel noted that the Arlington Free Methodist Church has requested that the meals assembled at their youth center be directed to those in need in Haiti, especially since many church members are already involved in relief efforts on the Haitians’ behalf.

Dave Spoon northwest feeding coordinator for the Children of the Nations, explained that the meals are “rescue food,” including dry-packed staples such as beans, lentils and rice, plus powered chicken broth that’s been infused with proteins

and multivitamins.

“It allows them to recover from malnourishment within a week or two,” Spoon said. “It can be hard to duplicate this kind of meal in the countries we serve. They’ll last as long as they’re kept sealed and dry.”

Eagles get the Royal treatment Lynnwood’s Edwards scores 31 in Arlington’s conference loss

BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

Arlington hoops vs. M-P Dec. 12, 7:30 p.m.

Boys at M-P Girls at Arlington As far as the boys are concerned, Marysville-Pilchuck and Arlington are the two teams most coaches have said improved over last season. The first matchup between the two will show just how much better each has become.

The girls matchup will be a contrast in styles, as M-P’s guards try to outrun Arlington’s posts.

Lakewood boys hoops vs. King’s Dec. 14, 7 p.m. at Lakewood Coach Matt Hart’s boys have a couple of games remaining before facing one of the better teams in the Cascade Conference, King’s.

Last season, the 2A Cougars played catchup with the 1A Knights, but eventually competed with them. Hart is hoping for a quicker start than last year, and a home game against King’s will tell how quickly his youngsters are adjusting.

LYNNWOOD — The Eagles showed they have to figure out how to play when the tempo slows down.

In a 69-61 loss to Lynnwood, Dec.2, Arlington boy’s hoops came out fast and furious, but couldn’t maintain the pace.

“We got a little tired, and you have to hand it to Lynnwood, they played a great game,” said Arlington coach Nick Brown.

A combination of free throws and layups helped Arlington score 26 points in the first quarter. The Eagles made just one jumper in the first eight minutes to own a 26-14 lead.

The second quarter, however, brought an entirely different speed of play, and Arlington’s defense frequently found themselves in the wrong spot.

“We stopped getting turnovers on defense,”

Lynnwood’s Anthony Edwards, 32, pressures Blake Petersen.

Brown said. “And once that stopped, the game really slowed down.”

And Lynnwood took advantage, although it seemed like only senior

Anthony Edwards would benefit from the slower pace. The senior small forward showed off a deadly mid-range game to pour in 21 first-half points.

“He’s a great player,” said Brown of Edwards. “We had a hard time staying in front of him and finding him.”

The Eagles spent the second half following Edwards around, but often leaving other shooters open, and paid for it, as six Royals combined to make 11 treys.

“We definitely didn’t do a very good job of finding their shooters on the floor,” said Brown.

The defensive highlight for the Eagles was senior Connor Cummings who seemed to be the only player able to slow down Edwards, who ended up with 31 points.

“Connor did a fantastic job for us,” said Brown of Cummings’ effort in the third quarter.

Leading the Eagles in scoring was Eric Carlson with 15 points while Griffin Ginnis added 11.

Cougars fall in season opener Haslom scores 20, but Lakewood boys hoops can’t recover from 26 turnovers

BELLINGHAM — For the most part, the Cougars looked like a team playing its first varsity basketball game.

There were highs and lows, but in the end, Lakewood lost a Nov. 30 nonconference matchup with Bellingham, 42-39, in the final minute.

“We only had one guy that had stepped on the floor of a varsity game before tonight,” said coach Matt Hart, who was also shorthanded due to injuries and snow-related absences.

“We played well at times, but ended up giving it up down the stretch with turnovers.”

Lakewood had to figure out how to beat Bellingham’s defense in the first quarter, as the shots came few and far between, aside from senior Tre Haslom, that is.

The rest of the team, however, took turns rotating the ball without looking for a shot, which resulted in the Cougars trailing 6-4 at the end of the first frame.

The second quarter saw the Cougars settle down and find shots, as they took the lead 15-14 by halftime.

While Lakewood scored with more frequency in the quarter, it was a 14-6 rebounding advantage that kept Bellingham off the scoreboard and kept Cougar SEE COUGARS, PAGE 11

Eagle grapplers ready at all ages Arlington hoping for contributions from freshmen through seniors

BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Eagles are entering a new era of wrestling.

The first class of younger wrestlers that have been around the program since elementary school are surfacing in coach Shaun Williams’ program.

“We’ve only got like 50 kids, but they are 50 kids that love wrestling — and know wrestling,” Williams said.

“And that is more than last year.”

Williams says he expects big things from his 20 incoming freshmen, although it may not be right away. But that isn’t a problem as the Eagles field a pair of returning state participants and a number of varsity grapplers.

Leading the way will be senior Nathan Shortt, who finished seventh in state at 145. Shortt made waves before the season began, finishing in seventh place at the New Wave Nationals in Nevada a month ago at 143 pounds. He’ll jump up to 152 this season.

“I think he’s starting to come on,” said Williams. “He can beat anybody, but at the same time, he can lose to anybody.”

Shortt will be joined by fellow state qualifier Brady Quinton, who bowed out of last year’s Mat Classic after two matches. Quinton might take a few weeks to get his endurance up after suffering a knee injury during the summer that forced him to sit out his senior football season.

“He’s back and on the mat,” said Williams. “But it’s going to take time.”

Arlington finished tied for fourth place with Snohomish in the Wesco North at 5-3, and sent five wrestlers to SEE EAGLES, PAGE 11

So, how much water should you drink?

The recommended amount is eight eight-ounces glasses of water per day.

If you exercise you should

drink 16 ounces of water two hours before exercise, 7-10 ounces every 10-20 minutes during exercise and 16-20 ounces after exercise.

It’s important to drink water before you feel thirsty to avoid dehydration.

The early, mild signs of dehydration are fatigue, loss of appetite, flushed skin, heat intolerance, lightheadedness, dark urine, dry cough, burning in stomach, headache, dry mouth, hoarse voice and muscle cramps.

Dickens describes Ebenezer Scrooge: “The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and he spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice ...” Sounds like Ebenezer Scrooge may have been dehydrated.

EAGLES FROM PAGE 9 state last year, coming away with a couple of placers and Williams thinks that his boys have the ability to achieve the same, if not improve.

“If we can just improve on what we did last year,”

Williams said. “Having five guys or more go to state will be progress. We had success last year — with a little bit of luck we could have done a little better.”

Also returning will be seniors Matt Badgley and Hunter Amundson, who wrestled at 145 and 125, respectively.

While seniors and freshmen highlight the preseason discussion about the Eagles, Williams also expects a lot out of his large junior class.

“A couple of my juniors can step up and when the freshmen start rolling, we’ll be on our way,” Williams said.

A few of the juniors, most notably Riley Cobb and Blake McPherson, will be nursing injuries at the beginning of the season, but Shawn Berg and Jesse Driscoll could make a difference.

“We work our tails off. I mean, these guys get after it,” said Hart. “That’s something that’s going to be a big part of our team and some guys like Dillan Knott did a great job on the glass.”

Meanwhile, Haslom took care of the Cougars on offense, scoring 20 points despite being in foul trouble that limited his playing time near halftime.

“We told Tre to be aggressive tonight and that’s what he did,” said Hart. “And you’ve got to hand it to

him, he showed a lot of leadership out there. Last year he was a little hesitant to take on that role, but it looks like he’s grown into it.”

A run of Bellingham turnovers helped Lakewood earn the largest lead of the game, with a 27-18 advantage midway through the third quarter, but Bellingham charged back with a 15-3 run over the next eight minutes to retake the lead, 35-30.

Lakewood scored five straight to tie the score at 35-35 with less than three minutes remaining, but missed a few shots down the stretch to let the game

slip away as time ran out.

Lakewood outrebounded Bellingham 45-30, but 26 turnovers are what did the young Cougars.

Junior guard Caleb Graves finished the game with six points and nine rebounds.

PLAY FROM PAGE 1 last Christmas. “‘White Christmas’ has always been one of my favorites, and when Seattle’s Roosevelt High School presented it last December I was curious to see if a high school cast and crew could pull it off,” said Moberly, who’s directing “White Christmas” at AHS. “I was impressed by what they were able to do, which led me to wonder if we could do it here in Arlington.”

After applying for the rights to “White Christmas,” AHS Drama conducted auditions in June and issued copies of the script and music to the cast to study over the summer.

“It’s a very complex piece, so they needed as much time as we could give them to study it,” Moberly said.

“We hit the ground running with set design and construction in September.”

Moberly estimated that every performance requires 12 costume changes for each of the cast’s leads and an average of three to four costume changes for each of the chorus members, a feat that senior Caroline Rensel, who plays Judy Haynes, and junior Nathan Braaten, who plays Bob Wallace, agreed was one of their tougher challenges.

“It’s my first time acting at all,” said fellow lead senior Jordan Tanguay, who plays Phil Davis. “Usually, I’m just singing. There’s a lot more going on this year, but you can never treat it like it’s just a high school production.

You have to ask yourself, if

The Arlington High School Drama Department chorus performs one of the final song-and-dance numbers for the Irving Berlin musical “White Christmas.” you were performing this at the Paramount in Seattle, what would it sound like?”

“Otherwise, it’ll be substandard,” said Rensel, who deemed this year’s production 60 percent bigger than last year’s. “Everything has to work. You have to keep the pressure on yourselves.”

Lead junior Kelsey Ghirardo, who plays Betty Haynes, described the difficulty of the three-part harmonies in a few of the songs, but was quick to point out that Haller Middle School teacher Jeff Swanson was faced with an even more complicated juggling act since he’s directing both the orchestra and the choir for

this production.

“You have to treat everything as equally important,” Ghirardo said. “You can’t shirk on the singing or the dancing.”

Ghirardo also praised the choreography work of Arlington School of Dance owner Becky Oesch, while Braaten agreed with Tanguay and Rensel that the chorus had provided the leads with essential and cohesive support. Rensel likewise echoed Moberly’s thanks to the community for their backing.

“We have parents who have been coming in at 6 p.m. every night to help us finish the set and address

Smokey Your Dental Insurance Benefits Point Before December 31!

Family Dentistry™ The end of the year is rapidly approaching. Most dental insurance programs have a maximum dollar amount they pay with the calendar year. If you don’t use it by December 31, you lose it. Many insurance companies also require you to have an exam at least once per year. Failure to do so can result in a reduction of your dental benefits. If you need dental treatment done before December 31 and are having difficulty getting a dental appointment, call our office and we will do the best to treat your needs promptly. Our hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will be open between Christmas and New Years.

our remaining technical issues,” Moberly said. “I’ve been taken aback by how incredible this community is. When you need them, they’re there.”

Tanguay and Ghirardo echoed Moberly’s hope that the community would be pleased by the production, given the number of contributions the community

has made to help make it happen, while Moberly also emphasized what he sees as the positive holiday message behind “White Christmas.”

“It’s about extending yourself to help out and care for others,” Moberly said.

“This is the most ambitious show I’ve ever done and it’s our Christmas present to Arlington, giving back

to them for all that they’ve given to us.”

A matinee is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Dec. 11.

Tickets are $9 for seniors and students, and $12 for adults. Reserved seating tickets may be purchased in advance on-line at www. byrnesperformingarts.org, or at the door 45 minutes before show time.

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

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.

Red Cross honors Real Heroes SPECIAL TO THE ARLINGTON TIMES

TULALIP — Three Tulalip Tribal members are among those being honored Dec. 9 at the Snohomish County Chapter Red Cross Real Heroes breakfast.

Glen Gobin, Tony Gobin and Steve Gobin are credited with saving the lives of two fishermen whose boat had sunk near the San Juan Islands.

According to the Snohomish Chapter of the Red Cross, “In the early hours of the morning two Tulalip Tribes fisherman clung to a cooler in the frigid waters of the San Juan Islands fighting for their lives as their boat which took on water incredibly fast, had sunk. The two fish-

ermen had only had enough time, before the sinking to get a CB distress call out attempting to provide their location and to put on their survival suits. As the fleet of boats nearby heard the call, they deployed and began the search for the two fishermen. Glen Gobin, who was lying in bed resting on his boat heard the call and decided to take an alternate route to the reported area to help in the search. His boat stalled and during the silence as he and his crew mates, Tony and Steve were trying to fix the problem they heard hollers from the two fishermen who at this point had been in the frigid waters for 40-plus minutes.

Glen, Tony and Steve followed the hollers and pulled the men to safety. Thanks to

his quick actions the Gobin’s helped saved the lives of two fellow fishermen. ‘Finding two people in the dark and in the water is like finding a needle in a haystack,’ Glen reported. But he didn’t hesitate for a moment to go out and search.”

As one of the largest fundraising events in Snohomish County, attendees get to see and hear amazing stories about the heroes in their community.

The doors open at 6:45 a.m. and the program begins at 7:15 a.m. Registration is required. Call 425-740-2324 and leave your name and phone number.

The event is being held in the Orca Ballroom of the Tulalip Resort Casino,10200 Quil Ceda Blvd., Tulalip.
