MARYSVILLE — Last year, math was far from Trina Davis’ favorite subject at Grove Elementary. This year, she’s not only excelling at math, but the 10-year-old fifth-grade student is helping other kids at her school get a handle on the subject, just as some fifthgraders in last year’s class helped her do the same. “Last year, it took me a really long time,” said Trina Davis, who struggled with multiplication and fractions as a fourth-grader. “This year, I got 100 percent on my multiplication test, and it only took me three minutes.” Last school year, Trina was one of the nearly dozen fourth-grade students, every Monday and Tuesday afternoon at Grove Elementary, to receive peer tutoring in

fourth-grade teacher Dwan Kinney’s room from fifthgraders. “I think it helped that they spoke her language,” said Vikashni Davis, Trina’s mother, who had previously paid a tutor to help her daughter. “They brought it down to her level.” “It made me understand,” Trina Davis said. “Fractions are basically just division problems.” For Vikashni Davis, who counted math as one of her favorite subjects in school when she was Trina’s age, it was difficult to see that her daughter didn’t enjoy the subject. “Now she’s learning faster than I was at her age,” Vikashni Davis said. “When they saw how well she was doing, they asked her if she would be willing to come SEE STUDENTS, PAGE 2

OLYMPIA — A bill that passed the state House on March 6 before moving to the Senate promises to have profound impacts on a very specialized line of businesses in Marysville, Arlington and beyond. House Bill 2565 would require roll-your-own cigarette retailers — such as Marysville Tobacco Joe’s and Arlington Tobacco Express — to become certified and pay an annual certification fee of $100, as well as to purchase tax stamps to enforce the collection of taxes on tobacco products. Those stamps would be affixed to containers of roll-your-own cigarettes and customers would be required to carry their cigarettes in those containers.

back to tutor other children this school year.” “It’s something better to do than just watching television,” said Trina Davis, who agreed with her mother that teaching the concepts to other students made them clearer to her as well. “It helps me too.” While Trina Davis and the peers she sits with after school learn more about math, Vikashni Davis sees them learning about giving something back in exchange for the support they’ve received. She also appreciates that the 40-minute-per-day program in Kinney and fellow fourth-grade teacher Beth Vavrousek’s rooms are provided free of charge. According to Kinney, the program started almost by accident three years ago, when one of her students’ parents wasn’t able to pick them up after school right away, and another student who happened to be doing errands for her volunteered to help the waiting student

with their math. “We’ve wound up recruiting excellent math students who come back to help others,” Kinney said. Near the end of February, Trina Davis looked on patiently as fourth-grader Gabryelle Carmona reviewed her multiplication tables, gently prompting the 9-year-old when she needed to fix the numbers she’d written, and smiling broadly when her pupil answered the questions correctly. Elsewhere in the room, other students were filling out their own worksheets, using the computers to do math problems, working with a projector board that offered its own math lessons, or getting together in groups to count off multiples of various numbers in circles. “I like the interactivity of it,” Kinney said. “They’re not only learning, but also getting a fun place to hang out.” “They can play games with math,” Vikashni Davis said. “I like doing math now,” Trina Davis said. “It’s fun.”

TOBACCO FROM PAGE 1 the area, noted that there are more than 65 such stores in the state, employing an estimated 250 workers. Like Michael Thorn, owner of Marysville Tobacco Joe’s, and Jill Murphy, owner of Arlington Tobacco Express, Baba argued that HB 2565, which passed the state House by 67-30 on March 6 before its first reading in the Senate on March 8, would effectively shut down their businesses. “It’s based on pie-in-thesky numbers,” Baba said. “The fiscal note of $13 million that it would yield was only because they wouldn’t allow that number to be revised a third time. It had already been revised down twice. It’s phantom revenue for the state.” Thorn elaborated that the fiscal note estimate of $13 million is based on the assumption that roll-yourown cigarette stores will sell 715,000 carton equivalents, when the retailers themselves are projecting sales of 360,000 in 2012. According to Thorn, Marysville Tobacco Joe’s sells an average of 20 carton equivalents a day, while Murphy estimated that Arlington Tobacco Express moves between 17-38 boxes a day. “It also assumes $12.6 mil-

lion in revenue from imposing the cigarette tax on these stores, which is not true,” Thorn said. “The stores will close down and their customers will migrate to rolling their own at home, with store-bought machines, or will migrate to other sources that do not collect any stateimposed tobacco tax.” Thorn and Murphy’s customers purchase tobacco from their stores to roll in their machines, and pay nearly half for their tobacco than those who purchase pre-manufactured cigarettes. With the state tax rate for a carton of 200 cigarettes at $30.25, both retailers agreed that taxes on roll-your-own cigarettes would be higher than taxes on pre-manufactured cigarettes. “Who’s going to take half an hour out of their day to feed tobacco and tubes into our machines and to pay more money to do it?” Thorn asked. “Nobody wants to talk about this, but when bills with the same verbiage show up in seven different states on the same day, I think Big Tobacco has had a hand in it.” Murphy echoed Baba and Thorn’s assertions that such legislation undercuts consumer freedom of choice, and urged lawmakers to seek revenue from sources more likely to yield it. “Every one of these shops has spent at least $35,000 on

the roll-your-own machine just by itself, and you have to have a store address for it to be delivered to even after you’ve paid for it,” Murphy said. “We’re not getting rich off this. We chose to get a beer and wine license as well, but if this bill passes, that’s not going to save us.” In the state House, representatives Kirk Pearson and Dan Kristiansen of the 39th District voted against HB 2565, while representatives Hans Dunshee, Mike Hope, Mike Sells and John McCoy of the 38th and 44th Districts voted in favor of it. Pearson does not smoke, but he shares Murphy’s view of who would be negatively affected by this bill. “Every year, I’ve seen the state put different taxes on tobacco, and it only hurts the poor,” Pearson said. “This bill will cost jobs and not gain us anything in the long run.” While Thorn took issue with Hope’s support of the bill, given Hope’s stance of support for small businesses, Hope characterized his vote as consistent with his stance. “This specific industry is an artificial market created by excessive taxation that is not equitable and will hurt small mom-and-pop shops,” Hope said. “I was directly asked by small grocers throughout Snohomish County to vote for it and level the playing field.”

MARYSVILLE — Louis DeRosa’s sales experiences ranges a dozen years and across the country and, now, he’s bringing his knowledge and skills to The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times as their advertising sales consultant. “Newspapers are an interesting field,” said DeRosa, who started out as an inside sales consultant for the SBC/SNET Yellow Pages in New Haven, Conn., in 2000. “It’s especially great being in a smaller community since the newspapers here are doing better than the bigger papers.” By the time DeRosa left New Haven in 2005, he was the senior account executive of Choice One Communications, for which he generated 110 percent of his sales quota in 2003 and 155 percent of his sales quota for 2004. From 2006 through 2008, his time as an account executive at Logix Communication in Ft. Worth, Texas, saw him continuing the cold-calling he started at Choice One, averaging 50-60 in-person cold calls a day and 100-plus outbound calls on phone days. By the time he left Logix at the start of 2009, he’d consistently ranked among the top 25 percent of their 200 sales representatives. DeRosa came to the Pacific Northwest to work as a media advertising consultant for Zip Local in 2009. He specialized in Yellow Pages advertisements in Tacoma, Olympia and central Oregon, and scored not only the top Yellow Page sales in central Oregon for four months straight in 2010, but also the top Internet sales for that area for five months straight that same year. “This is definitely different than the Yellow Pages,” DeRosa said. “But the advertising field has always appealed to me because it lets me be creative in offering options and solutions to businesses for generating more sales. After so much big city living, I’d never thought of myself coming to a smaller community, but you get to a point where you need to slow down. I look forward to getting to know what’s going on here. I’m just happy to be here.” One way that DeRosa plans to use to do that is through the local Chambers of Commerce.

“I’m a firm believer in advertising,” DeRosa said. “I’m also a firm believer in the Chambers. From the East Coast to right here in Washington, I’ve lost count of how many Chambers I’ve belonged to. Networking is central to business.” DeRosa acknowledged

Pride of Marysville

Neighborhood Improvement Awards

ith the last days of winter almost behind us, Marysville residents are already making plans for spring cleaning, property improvements Jon NehrinG and trips to their local home and Marysville garden stores. Mayor Whether it’s landscaping or remodeling, building renovations or impressive architectural design, or improvements that make your neighborhood stand out, the city of Marysville wants to recognize people and their outstanding homes, buildings or neighborhoods that bring an added shine to our community’s image. These efforts reflect well on the community, and could inspire others to do the same. The way in which we improve and maintain our homes, landscaping, businesses, buildings, and gardens communicates an image of Marysville, one that we hope will promote community and neighborhood pride. That’s the goal behind the new Pride of Marysville Neighborhood Improvement Awards program that will launch on March 19. The awards are a fun and easy, cost-effective way to recognize neighbors and businesses who take pride in their property in ways that enhance the appearance of the community. The awards are intended to inspire other neighbors to improve their homes and landscapes. Business owners are recognized for the “curb appeal” of their business facade and location. Award winners will be drawn from a pool of nominees selected by the community through a nomination process, then are chosen by a Committee consisting of a City Councilmember, Planning Commissioner, Parks and Recreation representative and two citizens selected at large. The Mayor will name his winning selection from the same pool of candidates. These are the award categories: n Best Home/Pride of the Neighborhood — Homes consistently well-kept with well-manicured lawns and colorful landscapes, or enhanced with new paint, landscaping or other significant aesthetic improvements. n Best Block/Neighborhood — Based on general/neighborhood entrance/gateway appeal and improvements made. n Best Business — Business sites with most curb appeal that have attractive landscaping, well-kept appearance, attractive facade, and are assets to their neighborhoods. n Mayor’s Choice — James Comeford Award to Downtown/ Waterfront District Most Improved; can be a home or business. Application brochures will be available at City Hall, the Public Works Building, Parks Office, Community Center and Marysville

The robot design and accompanying software becomes more sophisticated each year, creating higher-level challenges for the students. In the beginning of the year,

students meet three times per week, increasing to six times once the building season begins. Championships are held annually all over the nation. FIRST Team 2903 NeoBots will attend the championship held in Seattle on March 22-24. The robot challenge, Rebound Rumble, is similar to basketball game. Teams compete by trying to make as many baskets as they can in a two-minute, 15-second time constraint. Our FRC robots have achieved an 80-90% accuracy rate during practices. During the championship competitions, students can receive scholarships and awards from FIRST. Technology companies also attend to recruit students for See CAREER, PAGE 5

Help build strong readers

iteracy — the ability to read and write — is the most important skill a child can develop. Without the ability to effectively use these skills a child will always be limited in their growth. Recent studies have shown that a child reading at standard by third grade has a better opportunity to graduate high school ready for college, or career ready, than those who do not. Students not reading at grade level by third grade are four times more likely to drop out before graduating. So what does this tell us? It tells us that we must provide our children every opportunity in learning to read. Where does the responsibility for a child’s education ultimately begin? Who is responsible for providing a

Guest Opinion Chris Nation child the educational skills necessary to become a productive citizen in our society? The answers to these questions are quite simple; each and every one of us is responsible. From the time a child is born until they graduate either from a high school, a vocational college or a college of higher learning, each of us has an opportunity to influence their success.

The school board has focused Marysville’s improvement efforts on just a few long range goals that we call Steps to Success. Insuring reading success in grades K-3 for every student — 100 percent — is an essential building block for every child’s future. One of the most opportune times to effect learning in a child’s life begins with birth to kindergarten. Recent research studies have shown that early childhood learning provides a child with the tools necessary to succeed in a school environment.

Litter on the airwaves

urn south off Highway 528 at the Nazarene Church. Drive south toward Soper Hill. Tune your car radio to any AM station and what do you hear? Static! Whole symphonies of static. You’ll hear swishing like wind through fir trees, metallic intermittent buzzing, a percussive k-k-k-k like robotic woodpeckers attacking Marysville’s water tower and a looming tsunami of sound as you approach Highway 9’s power lines. Driving under them is rather like entering a factory where thousands of little machines mix their din to swallow AM broadcasting whole, no matter how high the volume is set. Take all that away and a filigree of delicate noise still whispers in the background. Drivers find themselves in and out of it like weather changes in Puget Sound’s infamous convergence zone. Interference along I-5 is generally mild while elsewhere, as along 83rd Avenue, pockets of static litter the airwaves. We can’t see it but the here-and-there effect on the ear may be compared with the way clusters of political roadside signs offend the eye. Hit a pocket of interference and it’s time to switch from AM to FM. Frequency Modulated radio has a short range capacity for blasting through interference unscathed — or at least less scathed than AM. This fact raises the question, why not just abandon AM? What’s so good about it? Back in the 1960’s, I often drove to family gatherings in Spokane, choosing to drive at night when the kids would sleep the trip away. All across central Washington we’d listen to Larry King doing his first gig with KGO San Francisco. KGO reached Washington State because of the superior nighttime carrying power of AM radio, a phenomenon that lets Alaskans tune in to Seattle radio. But time and technology are eroding at AM radio’s reach. Homes and industry have become so electronically gad-

getized that the environment swarms with busy electrons as never before. Each time a switch is flipped they jump into motion and each time they find even a tiny gap to jump, they create microscopic bolts of lightning that we hear as static. The atmosphere is about as free of this action as air is free of pollution. The worst problem used to be accidental spark-gaps in electric fences that surrounded Marysville’s cow farms. Those fences acted as huge static transmitting antennas that roving FCC investigators tracked down. Now, proliferating electric gadgets have so overwhelmed the FCC’s enforcement arm that all but the worst problems go unresolved Broadcasters have been forced to compromise. When sound quality is needed, as with music, they turn to FM. When sending out rougher stuff such as traffic reports or political talk shows, they stick with AM. Yet there are some of us who want it all. We’d like to have crystal-clear AM without giving up static-producing electrical stuff that’s become necessary to our lives. Static producers come in two varieties, those that are naturally noisy and others that generate interference because they’re out of whack. To a degree, it is possible to track down the out-of-whack culprits and maybe do something about them. This is especially doable if the offending device happens to be on your own property. Take a cheap portable radio and set the tuner between stations in the low numbers. The cheaper the better because more expensive radios may

In November 2011 eight of the 2903 NeoBots team from Arlington School District were invited by the Director of Academic Programs at Microsoft to demonstrate their Kinect beta findings at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington. The students put on an amazing demonstration with their discoveries between the Kinect game system and the robot. Employees from Microsoft, international journalists from around the world, and Alex Kipman (an inventor of the Kinect game system) were shown educational interactive demonstrations by the NeoBot students. Mr. Kipman and several of the international journalists were given the opportunity to drive the robot using the Kinect game system the NeoBots students had developed.

be equipped with static filters. You are looking for a place on the dial that offers no intelligent sound, just noise. Next, prowl about, turning the radio this way and that, all the time closing in on the noise source. You can often pinpoint the offending device this way but then comes the issue of dealing with it. That approach might clear some static near home but the problem is global in scope. Big offenders include Marysville’s 13 cell towers, conflicting broadcasts, faulty electric fences, power tools gone bonkers, computers, fluorescent lights, spark plugs, furnace igniters, dimmer switches, power lines and TV sets. Tools that use on-again off-again compressors are notoriously noisy. It would help if stores offered products that don’t broadcast interference but that won’t happen so long as we choose to buy cheap stuff. Electrical power tools account for some of the problem and the stocks of them in Big-Box stores tell us that electronic noise will be on the rise. More electronic noise equals worse radio reception. Yet we need to preserve some way for radio to communicate over long distances. Though FM is less vulnerable to static than AM, it does poop out within a few hundred miles. How odd that the FCC gave up on Morse code, that cumbersome alphabet of dots and dashes that knifes through the worst interference. SOS, or dit-ditdit, da-da-da, dit-dit-dit, is no longer an officially sanctioned way to yell for help on the airwaves, even though it stands a far better chance of getting through than vocal sounds on either AM or FM. There are ways to partially cut static. First, try a higher quality radio. Next, equip it with a static filter and a good antenna. Then accept that a certain amount of radio interference is unavoidable. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

Young Chargers team ready to take the field BY Tim Watanabe sports@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — For first-year Marysville Getchell baseball head coach Gerry Klep, the 2012 sea-

son presents a worthy challenge, even for someone with 22 years of coaching experience. Klep, who has spent the last 12 years coaching 13- to 16-year-olds

at the select level in Snohomish County, said that the biggest challenges with a first-year program are twofold — the lack of experience and leadership that varsity returners provide, as well as developing team chemistry. “Just getting to know the players,” said Klep, on what he’s been focusing on the most during the preseason. “I’ve never seen any of them play before, so it will take me and the coaching staff, three, four, five weeks to learn how the players learn and how they react to different tones, and different coaching styles.”

A Fresh Start

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Marysville Getchell junior Brandon Bethers practices his infield throw on the Marysville-Pilchuck field.

After Marysville-Pilchuck’s enormous student body of nearly 3,000 split in 2010 to form the new Marysville Getchell Campus, nobody knew for sure how that would affect turnout for high school sports. Much to Klep’s surprise, the turnout — and resulting talent pool — for his baseball team was much greater than expected, as 44 athletes turned out in total, 33 of them being retained for the varsity and JV teams. “It’s been great,” Klep beamed. “Couldn’t ask for anything better, and I think we surprised ourselves with a little more talent than I’d thought we’d have.” At the forefront of the impact

players will be the team’s only everyday senior, Alex Christensen, a sure-handed third baseman with some pop in his bat. “He will provide needed leadership with such a young team ... and good power in the middle of the lineup,” Klep lauded. Also looking solid are a pair of juniors — Lorenzo Simmons, a strong-armed catcher with power from the left side of the plate, and versatile Brandon Bethers, who can pitch and also play the middle infield. “He has shown himself to be our energy guy and vocal leader,” said Klep about Bethers. Batting leadoff for the Chargers will likely be Tim , a speedy sophomore infielder that has great range. Klep noted that the community has been behind the new program, even with the recent success of the Tomahawks’ baseball team (55-14 record last three seasons). “There’s lots of anticipation and maybe some overzealous expectations,” he described. “But so far, so good.”

Seize The Moment Unlike many high school coaches, who set firm goals in mind from the first practice onward, Klep decided to take a different route with his first-year team. “I don’t want our kids to have

any expectations,” he explained. “I want them to pride themselves with their ability to play together as a group, and compete with the rest of the schools in our league.” He added that, particularly for a young team, the Chargers’ success will be dependent on how mentally strong his players will be, how they will handle the ebb and tide of a long baseball season. “We’re going to have our ups and downs, and we have to learn to fight through the down portions,” Klep noted. “We’ll be ready to seize the moment when the positive things come our way.” Klep, who describes himself as “an educator of the game,” said he doesn’t want to think too far ahead as far as the playoffs are concerned. He prefers to keep it one game at a time, and let the talent of his young team blossom as they learn what it takes to be successful at the varsity level. “Typically, teams that I coach continually get better as the year goes on,” he said. “My goal is to make sure we’re a better team 10 games in than we were in the second game.” The Chargers get their season underway on Monday, on the road against Cascade, at 4 p.m., with their home opener slated for Friday, Mar. 16 against Arlington, also at 4 p.m.

Lakewood fastpitch sluggers look to attack BY Tim Watanabe sports@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — Over the course of a long fastpitch softball season, it is incredibly unlikely for a player to record more hits than outs at the plate. But don’t tell that to veteran Lakewood Cougars head coach Steve Barker. Barker’s offense-laden team, coming off a rough 8-12 season, is back and ready to feast off of Cascade Conference pitching, led by returning all-conference shortstop Arianna Barrio, who broke the school record last year with a .522 batting average. Also above the magical .500 mark was Kiana Smith, who hit an incredible .516 as a freshman and will bat in the three-hole. Finishing off the Cougars’ triple threat is senior Alexa Chase, who has a great eye

at the plate. She is a natural first baseman who will move back to that position fulltime this year after seeing time at third last season. “Arianna and Alexa both are returning, and they’ve started every year of high school,” Barker noted. “Last year we did score quite a few runs with (them).” Barrio is actually the second-oldest of five sisters in a talented fastpitch family. The elder Barrio, Kahlee, is currently playing her sophomore season at George Fox University in Oregon, and the middle sister, Terah, will likely start at third base this year as a freshman. “It’s been great,” Barker said on what it’s been like to coach the Barrio sisters. “They rank right up there will all the good ones I’ve had at Arlington and Lakewood.” Currently in his 21st season coaching with the

Cougars, Barker formerly coached 12 years of fastpitch at Arlington High. Barker’s squad is set to get their season underway on Monday at home against Burlington, first pitch at 4 p.m. Like many teams, the Cougars will start off a little raw, due to Mother Nature’s fury that saw practice after practice rained out last week. “Everything’s going according to plan, except with the weather conditions we’ve only been outside for three full practices out of the first eight,” Barker said. “We’re not as far along as we’d like to be, but we don’t have any control over that.” The Cougars play in the Cascade 2A league against powerhouse teams like Granite Falls, the defending conference champions, and Barker realizes that his team will only be as

successful as their weakness, which is pitching and catching. “We have two sophomores and freshmen all with very limited pitching experience,” he said, adding that a lot of his players attended a winter clinic to improve their games. “The girls did put in a lot of offsesason work, so we expect our pitching to be much better. We also have no returning catchers.” The Cougars can only hope their trademark offense will be able to bail them out, at least until the team’s young and inexperienced battery gets some games, and crucial experience, under its belt. “The other pieces are in place,” said Barker, referring to his team’s proven offensive ability. “We will go as far as our pitching and catching will allow us.”

Church of Christ dedicates new auditorium

SHOP LOCAL

MARYSVILLE — Dennis Niva, minister for the 92nd Street Church of Christ, announced that on Sunday March 18, the congregation will celebrate the dedication of their new facility. “The new building facility was built by Leifer Development, and Steve Leifer was the general contractor for the building,” Niva said. “Volunteers from the congregation also put in many hours of labor. This has been a long project. There have been many hurdles and challenges to deal with, especially in financing.” Niva explained that, at the time they were looking for a loan to complete the building, a number of banks were being closed and taken over by the federal government. He considers them fortunate to have found the

Businesses

Church Development Fund, which works with conservative churches in assisting with their building projects. At the dedication program, Bob Scott from the CDF will serve as a speaker. “Our new facility is handicapped-accessible, all one level and is available to rent for special occasions,” Niva said. “In addition to the 300seat auditorium, there is also an event center which can accommodate approximately 160 people for seminars, meetings and other events.” A large screen is available in the event center for PowerPoint presentations, and catering can be provided, from light lunch, simple receptions, complete dinners or lunches. “We have already hosted a few organizations’ company parties, as well as funeral

receptions,” Niva said. “If anyone is interested in scheduling an event at our facility, call the office at 360-6532578, and we will be happy to schedule a time to show you the facility and discuss the price list.” The dedication will begin with a regular Bible study session at 9:30 a.m., followed by the morning worship at 10:30 a.m. Niva will serve as the main speaker. After services, the church will sponsor a catered dinner for everyone, which will include roast pig and turkey. At 2 p.m., hymns will be sung, and the dedication program will begin at 3 p.m. Refreshments will follow. Tours will be given if anyone wishes to see the full facility. The 92nd street Church of Christ is located at 4226 92nd St. NE, just off State Avenue, in Marysville. It is the merger of two congregations, the Seven Lakes Church of Christ and the Marysville Church of Christ.

The merger occurred in 2005 and the new name of the 92nd Street Church of Christ was established. The Church of Christ is a non-denominational, non-instrumental congregation and focuses on positive preaching and Bible studies. A capella singing is used in the worship services and all can participate. “This dedication Sunday is a special day for our congregation because, for many of us, it is the completion of a plan that was developed more than 26 years ago,” Niva said. “We are happy and pleased for this facility to be complete and we invite the public to come share this day with us.” If you have any questions or would like to RSVP for the dinner, call the church office at 360-658-2578. More information on the 92nd Street Church is on the web at www.92ndstchurchofchrist. org. The Sunday sermon is also recorded on the web.

Which Of These Neuropathy Symptoms Do You Suffer From? If You Suffer From A Single One Of These Torturous Symptoms – Numbness, Tingling, Or Sharp Nerve Pain – THEN THE FACTS BELOW MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT YOU HAVE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE!

europathy affects every part of your life -walking, sitting, and even sleeping.

Here’s What Our Patients Say……

Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out no one has any idea what you have. Maybe you’ve even been put on a drug with heavy side effects.

“Before seeing Dr. Peseau, I had severe neuropathy in my left leg and foot including numbness and tingling. I had foot drop where I could not lift my foot and had to use a walker to get around. Now after just a few weeks of treatment, my leg is much better, the feeling has returned and the foot drop is almost 100% gone! I can walk a lot better and farther than before. Dr. Peseau genuinely wants you to be better and he help to restore your quality of life. I am getting better each day under Dr. Peseau’s expert care and direction! ~ Trudy Pater, Security Guard

My name is Dr. Scott Peseau, owner of Arlington Spine Center. Our practice has been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 25 years. More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This painful condition interferes with your body’s ability to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions. Why not get help by those trained to correct the major cause of peripheral neuropathy?

Do you have any of the following symptoms... • Pins and needles feeling • Numbness in the hands or feet • Tingling or burning sensations • Weakness in the arms or legs • Sharp shooting or burning pains

If so you may have a condition called peripheral neuropathy.

Data from the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’ Job Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm and leg neuropathy as the second most common nerve problem treated by chiropractors. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone.

The Single Most Important Solution To Your Neuropathy By using gentle techniques, I’m able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away. Numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions... Due to Federal law some exclusions may apply.

“I had a severe neuropathy in my leg after an amusement park accident that trapped my leg and injured the nerve and tissues. After treatment with Dr. Peseau I feel a lot better and have regained much of the feeling in my leg. I am now able to to stand and walk without much pain!!! Keep up the great work and I thank you for all you have helped me with. I will be recommending this clinic to friends and family in the future!” ~ Daniel Jordan

“Manipulation [chiropractic adjustments], with or without exercise, improved symptoms more than medical care did after both 3 and 12 months.”~ British Medical Journal Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. ~ Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008 With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” ~ JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” ~ JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that with chiropractic care, you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

How To Find Out If This Will Work For You It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution. For 10 days only, You will get you all the services we normally charge new patients $230 for only $19. What does this offer include? Everything. Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

Don’t let neuropathy hold you back from enjoying life.
