Marysville Getchell celebrates graduates BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

INDEX

MARYSVILLE — Overcast skies that opened up in the afternoon might have quelled some enthusiasm for some events on Saturday, June 16, but spirits stayed strong for the Marysville Strawberry Festival’s climactic weekend this year. Marysville’s Khoosnam Commissariat brought her daughter Ava, 19, and son Cyrus, 14, to this year’s Funtastic Carnival in the Marysville Middle School playground, as she has done for the past decade, and the mother even beat her two kids at one of the games to win a prize. “I like all the games and the rides,” Khoosnam Commissariat said. “I just love that Marysville has

something like this.” The Portland Royal Rosarians also paid their compliments to the Marysville Strawberry Festival during their roseplanting ceremony in the Totem Middle School rose garden at 3 p.m. that day, which saw Maryfest President Debbie Libbing honored with the planting of Royal Rosarian roses to commemorate the latter group’s 100th anniversary this year. Aivars Saukants, royal gardener for the Portland Royal Rosarians, explained that his group travels across the Pacific Northwest to bestow similar honors on various festivals throughout the region, and cited his own connections to the local community.

EVERETT — The four Small Learning Communities of Marysville Getchell High School marked their first commencement ceremony independent of Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Wednesday, June 13, as the Everett Community College Fitness Center hosted graduating seniors from Marysville Getchell for the first time that evening. The MGHS Class of 2012 was heralded by a host of speakers, including not only valedictorians and senior class officers from each of the four SLCs, but also reflection speeches by two SLC principals, one of whom will not be returning to the school in the fall.

Academy of Construction and Engineering Valedictorian J.D. Talamayan has already learned the importance of connections as a fulltime Running Start student during high school. “Staying connected has helped me get to where I am today, and in the future it will help as well,” Talamayan said. “After graduation, while you are getting a job or attending college or doing whatever else you choose to do, make as many connections as possible. You never know how the connections you make will resurface in your life.” Bio-Med Academy Valedictorian Celeste Bryant believes that the life SEE MG, PAGE 2

lessons provided by the high school experience are at least as essential as its academics. “After graduation we will be able to take our newfound creativity and courage and apply it to finding our special place in the world,” Bryant said. “We have learned to be honest with ourselves, to ask questions and to not fear the consequences of telling people that, after 12 years of school, we still have no idea what we want to do with our lives. This selfrespect and fearlessness in speaking our minds did not exist that first day of high school so many years ago.” International School of Communications Valedictorian Kali Burnside touted not only the growing that she and her peers have done during high school, but also the diversity of skills they’ve gained from it, which she urged her fellow graduating seniors to apply to their adult lives in an exceptional fashion. “Let’s go into this world with an attitude aimed

toward achievement,” Burnside said. “Let’s make ourselves known for our accomplishments. One day, we can look back and think, ‘Boy, high school wasn’t my glory days, because [the days I’m living now] are the days that I will remember, and the ones that deserve recognition.’” School For the Entrepreneur Valedictorian Chris Rasmussen read a poem he’d composed in honor of the occasion, whose call to action echoed those of his fellow speakers. “While we were once a part of ACE or SFE or Bio-Med or ISC, now we have the opportunity — the opportunity to create, the opportunity to connect, the opportunity to leave our school with a lasting effect,” Rasmussen said. “But it starts with you, and it starts with me, so lets take what we’ve learned through these past four years, and seize our opportunities.” SFE Principal Dave Rose credited the leadership of the MGHS Class of 2012 with coordinating “the first commencement ceremony that doesn’t involve any red,” as well as with starting

several school traditions that he expects will grow with classes to come. “In school, you learn in order to take a test, but in life, you take a test in order to learn,” Rose said. “I have seen many of you in class. You study and take that test trying to earn the best grade you can. But now, after tonight, you will be testing yourselves and learning from those tests. This is called ‘life.’ So I challenge you, from this day forward, to test yourselves, put it on the line, and discover what you are really made of. You never know until you try.” Bio-Med Academy Principal Judith Murdock is retiring this year after nearly 50 years in education, the last three years of which have been spent at Bio-Med. She praised the graduating seniors of all four SLC’s for choosing their own courses toward adult careers and connecting with the community outside of Marysville Getchell High School. “We all have relationships at the center of our schools,” Murdock said. “We are four small schools and one campus graduating tonight.”

FESTIVAL FROM PAGE 1 “We’re always glad to be here in Marysville,” Saukants said. “I’ve personally planted three of these roses with my fellow Rosarians, in 2007, 2010 and again this year. I even remember when this ceremony took place at the ‘Red Caboose’ just a few blocks south of here, before its tragic demise. It’s gratifying to see that, while the fire may have soured a few of the roses, they’ve still grown wonderfully well on the whole.” While that Saturday saw more sparse traffic at the Marysville Kiwanis Beer Garden on Seventh Street north of the Market in Asbery Park, it was bustling the day before, on Friday, June 15. “I don’t know if it’s the weather or what today,” Marysville Kiwanis Treasurer Mike Ferri said on June 16, just before the rain began to fall. “We didn’t know quite what to expect anyway, this being our first beer garden and all.” “People came in, sat down and just visited with each other,” fellow Marysville Kiwanian Penny Ploeger said. “We’ve even been able to offer a nice wine tasting, thanks to John Bell’s Willis Hall Winery.” In spite of the full-on downpour that had let loose by its 5 p.m. judging, that Saturday’s Kiddies Parade drew so many participants that they had to huddle under the eaves of Totem Middle School as shelter from the storm before marching down State Avenue at 6 p.m. “Even though everyone got wet, we all still had an amazing time,” said Bobbi

Easley, who organized the Kiddies Parade for the second time this year. “Families still took the time to participate, and all the entries were pretty creative.” Brooke Klein, 5, was named this year’s overall winner for dressing up as Strawberry Shortcake, a costume that she’d worn last Halloween. “It fit the theme of the Strawberry Festival perfectly,” said Stephannie Claphan, one of the volunteer judges. “Plus, she was energetic and had a fresh new look.” By the time the Kiddies Parade entrants had been judged in Comeford Park, the precipitation had dwindled to a few drops, allowing audiences to enjoy a mostly dry Grand Parade from 7:3010 p.m., which managed to pack in more than 140

entrants this year. Debbie Hjort and her daughter LaRosa, 19, didn’t trust the clearing skies and remained bundled under their shared blanket on the sidewalk. “It’s always exciting and fun,” Debbie Hjort said of her family’s 15th Strawberry Festival Grand Parade. “It gets better every year. We’re sad that there weren’t any trike races this year, though. Hopefully they’ll be brought back for next year.” While Lauren Riley, 6, enjoyed sitting on her father’s shoulders to watch the action and expressed her fondness for the sweets she got to eat that day, dad Mark Riley was content to soak up the atmosphere. “I like being part of a community that does things like this,” Mark Riley said.

Ebey Slough Bridge farewell a family affair

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleiner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Robert Rasmussen Sr. was the first bridge tender of the Ebey Slough Bridge, whose construction was completed in 1927, back when roads were built to accommodate Ford Model-T’s. Robert’s direct descendants returned to the bridge 85 years later on Thursday, Jan. 14, to join members of the public in taking one last walk on the old bridge before its dismantling begins, as the new Ebey Slough Bridge continues to be built alongside it. The bridge tender’s son, 87-year-old Robert Rasmussen Jr., fell prey to a quavery, emotion-choked voice as he recalled meeting his father at the Ebey Slough Bridge in 1946, after the younger Rasmussen had come back from fighting in World War II. “You had to cross this water in a rowboat before this bridge,” Robert Rasmussen Jr. said. “Dad got himself a good job here with the state. We had indoor plumbing and everything. He worked a lot of swing shifts here, because he would tend to animals on farms, so I didn’t see him much during the days. He was always out doing something.” The grandsons of Robert Rasmussen Sr. are all in their 60s now, and as they joined Robert Rasmussen Jr. in checking out the aged structure, they recalled the time they’d spent with their grandfather as he faithfully executed his duties. “I remember he had all

these big tools here,” said Leonard Stanton, a 66-yearold grandson of Robert Rasmussen Sr., who currently lives in Smokey Point. “He had this one wrench that just seemed huge to me at 7 or 8 years old, and these fivegallon buckets of grease for the gears.” “I remember it being stinky,” laughed Dennis Rasmussen, a 63-yearold grandson of Robert Rasmussen Sr. and a cousin of Stanton, who lives in Bellingham. “My classmates all used to jump off this bridge to dive into the water below, but I couldn’t because my dad worked here and all the other bridge tenders knew me.” While Robert Rasmussen Sr. once worked in the bridge tender house, Harry Sidler had his own reasons for feeling a sense of ownership over the old bridge. “It took our five-man crew, including my brother Jake, about a month to repaint the underside of that bridge more than 40 years ago,” Sidler said. “The inspector checked out work with a dental mirror. One of my masterpieces is going down,” he laughed. During the ceremony marking the old Ebey Slough Bridge’s end of service, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring noted how rare it is for the Washington State Department of Transportation to carry out official decommissioning for the structures that it puts out of service.

From left, Dennis and Keith Rasmussen, Robert Rasmussen Jr. and Leonard Stanton all reminisce about the time they spent on the old Ebey Slough Bridge with its first bridge tender, Robert Rasmussen Sr. “We’ve come here today to say goodbye to an old friend,” Nehring said on Jan. 14. “As you walk out there, take some time to ponder the history beneath your feet.” Nehring noted that Marysville’s population has gone from less than 1,400 in 1927 to enough that 17,000 cars and trucks a day commute across State Route 529 between Marysville and Everett. WSDOT Northwest Region Administrator Lorena Eng added that the new $39 million Ebey Slough Bridge that’s replacing the old one will not only be wider and offer

more vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian lanes, but it’s also being built to current seismic safety standards. She credited the employees and elected officials of the cities

of Marysville and Everett with fighting to keep this project on the books for the past 20 years. The dismantling of the old Ebey Slough Bridge began

on Monday, June 18, and is expected to continue into early 2013, at which point the new bridge’s remaining lanes should finally open to traffic.

Treaty rights are civil rights

he tribes’ fight to preserve and protect the salmon and our treaty fishing rights has mirrored the civil rights struggle in the United States. That’s because treaty rights are civil rights, just like your right to vote, and they are protected under the U.S. Constitution. When we were fighting for our treaty rights in the 1960s, we marched with Dr. Martin Luther King. Returning home, we continued the struggle by protesting, getting arrested, getting out of jail and starting over again. On Sept. 9, 1970, we had a fish camp under the Puyallup River Bridge near Tacoma. The state of Washington came down on us that day, just like they had done many times before, to stop us from exercising our treaty right to fish. They gassed us Indians and threw us all in jail. But someone else got gassed that day, too. His name was Stan Pitkin, the U.S. Attorney for western Washington. He was part of the crowd that gathered that day to watch the event unfold. Troubled by what he witnessed, Pitkin quickly took the first steps to file the U.S. v. Washington court case that would lead to the 1974 Boldt decision. With the support of the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s office, we were successful in defending our treaty-reserved fishing rights. Under the Boldt decision we were affirmed as co-managers of the salmon resource with the state of Washington. We are responsible for managing half of the salmon returning to western Washington every year. But since the Boldt decision we have seen a steady decline of the salmon resource. After a long, difficult battle, we are seeing our hard-won treaty rights slip away because salmon and their habitat are being lost faster than they can be restored and the state refuses to enforce its own laws to protect the resource. We may once again need the help of

BEING FRANK

BILLY FRANK, JR. the Justice Department to protect our treaty rights. Last summer we launched our Treaty Rights at Risk initiative to call on the federal government to take charge of salmon recovery in western Washington. We took this strong step because we are losing the fight for the salmon. The federal government has both the obligation and authority to recover salmon and protect our treaty rights. We want the government to align its agencies and programs to lead a more coordinated effort and get us back on the path to recovery. We are encouraged by the early response from the federal government. We all agree about the need to strengthen the tribal and federal relationship to address obstacles to salmon recovery. We’ve already developed recovery plans and identified habitat barriers in most watersheds. Now we need a commitment from the federal government to coordinate the effort to tackle the most pressing obstacles in each watershed. In the end, that effort can only be as effective as the decisions we make and the actions we take. We sure don’t need more talk. We don’t need more process. We need action. That’s why I think the Department of Justice needs to take a hard look at the damage being done to salmon habitat and the threat to our treaty rights. That may seem like strong medicine, but for us Indian people, nothing less than the heart of our culture is at stake.

Billy Frank Jr. is the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. THE MARYSVILLE

Our new neighbors

e were short on fruit and veggies so I went shopping at one of my favorite windows on the world, WINCO. It’s a place where no race or ethnic group is a majority so we shoppers were a happy mix of minorities. With strong accents, foreign tongues, some traditional attire and every skin tone from pinkish-white to dark chocolate, it’s like a miniUN. Somalis, Iraqis and Ghanaians share space with immigrants from most Latin American nations. Each spoke two or more languages when they got here and are now trying to add English. Being third-generation American I assume I’m a native. And being steeped in this society from birth I haven’t the slightest notion of the challenges my grandparents faced when debarking at Ellis Island. Or what it took to gain a foothold in their economy. So while pushing a cart down aisles crowded with freshly arrived immigrants I can’t help but wonder how it must feel to be newly arrived on our scene. We call them immigrants, which says little more than that they came here to live from some other place. There’s much more to their stories. Each is an adventurer when compared with neighbors they left back home. They’re the ones with enough guts to abandon everything held dear in pursuit of opportunity. Imagine their first days here. They know little of the language, don’t understand the law, folk-ways or economy. The best they can do is call on earlier immigrants for tips on how to get along. Maintaining these links is why Koreans congregated in West Seattle, Norwegians in Ballard and Asians in south Rainier Valley. The word, immigrant, isn’t weighty enough to express a newcomer’s situation. Exile, however, sounds snappier and is far richer in meaning. Its definitions cover more space in dictionaries than do entries for immigrant and I have a strong feeling for that difference because I was once an exile.

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

My dictionary says, Exile: absence from one’s own country, whether forced or self-imposed; a citizen from one country who chooses or is forced to live in another; to separate from home and country. One can even be exiled at home, as when so many Native Americans were uprooted from home-areas to be transplanted onto reservations. Some religious groups exile members through shunning. As to my exile, my family lived on the grounds of a college in Nigeria. The school’s students were Nigerians, evenly split between Christians and Muslims. We were one white American family adjusting to stay afloat in a sea of blacks. We were voluntary exiles like most of my fellow shoppers at WINCO. Like them, I was challenged to learn something of the local language. Even more so than blacks in America, I knew the impossibility of blending my pale face in to a black society that would never be my own. Since I wasn’t born into it, I had to struggle to understand what makes West African minds tick. Some immigrants see the U.S. as a land of opportunity. Others flee from hunger or oppression. Shiites fleeing from Sunnis, Sunnis fleeing from Shiites. Reasons for coming here are as many as the immigrants. Once here, Americanization takes place rapidly. I talked with three Somalis at Trinity College’s recent conference on Islam about challenges of adjusting to life here. One said his big problem was getting his coach to give him enough minutes on the soccer field. The second’s challenge was how to finance a new car. The third told of difficulty getting his son admitted to a university. Some of us believe that immi-

grants displace American workers while depressing wage rates. They cite reports of immigrant mothers collecting support for babies left south of the border and there is some truth to that. Such issues caused the Economic Policy Institute to conduct a 2010 study to analyze whatever effect immigrant labor might have on home-grown workers and the economy. The results were surprising. Immigrant labor was found to have a small positive effect. In fact, the presence of immigrant labor bumped up wages of native born workers by 0.4 percent. Oddly, while college-degreed workers benefited by 0.4 percent, workers with some college got boosted 0.7 percent and wages of those with high school or less rose only 0.3 percent. While the numbers vary, other studies confirm that immigrant labor serves to boost both employment and wages for native born Americans. Some other findings: A greater proportion of immigrants start businesses than native born citizens. (Council of Economic Advisors) Taxes drawn from immigrant workers yield a positive effect on public budgets. (CEA) Social Security withholdings from immigrant workers account for a small offset against the imminent problem of baby-boomers breaking the system. (CEA) No significant correlation has been found linking jobs lost to native-born workers and immigration. (Pew Center research) Immigrant children value education more highly than nativeborn children. (Harvard University study) But facts don’t seem to matter because, like seniors hazing freshmen, entrenched societies continue the tradition of blaming and harassing newcomers. Maybe that’s what makes them so strong.

Mayor Nehring declares June 23 as Henken memorial set for June 23 360 Break Dance Competition Day BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Doors open for 360’s 10th anniversary at 5 p.m. on June 23 at Totem Middle School, located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville, while the prelims are set to start at 6 p.m. Admission is $10 and crew-versus-crew battles are limited to 10 dancers each. The grand prize this year is $3,600.

ARLINGTON — John Henken, a longstanding member of the Rotary Club of Arlington, will be remembered by those who knew him at two separate events on Saturday, June 23. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, located at 415 S. 18th St. in Mount Vernon, has scheduled a memorial service for Henken at 10 a.m. that day, while fellow Arlington Rotarian Dave Duskin will speak about Henken’s battle with cancer at the Arlington Relay For Life, which kicks off that afternoon at 1 p.m. Duskin received permission from Henken’s widow, Mylene, to add her husband as a posthumous member of the Arlington Rotary’s Relay team, to honor Henken’s membership in the Arlington Rotary since 1981, which included a stint as its president from 1988-89. “He was part of the group that went up to Canada to study how a Rotary Club’s

him to miss meetings. “We could always count on a story or joke from John at our meetings,” Duskin said. “His sense of humor was great, but often there were groans as well as laughter at his jokes and stories.” The Arlington Rotary Board moved unanimously to make Henken an honorary member, and Duskin described it as a “no-brainer” to make Henken an honorary member of the Order of the Duck as well, which is usually reserved for those who have sported the costume. “He always sported that Disneyland duck hat while he was out selling tickets,” Duskin said. “I know that it was John’s dream to see his plans for an Island Crossing commercial center come to fruition before his death. It’s too bad that the economy turned bad about the time his efforts to get the area annexed to Arlington and rezoned got accomplished, or else I think he would have seen his dream come true.”

At the June 11 Marysville City Council meeting, Nehring lauded the event for providing a real-life venue for bringing diverse groups together to work toward achieving a common goal. He went on to note the leadership development opportunity,

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recently signed and presented to DJ Preston Dwoskin a proclamation declaring Saturday, June 23, as Marysville Family YMCA 360 Break Dance Competition Day. This proclamation honors the 360 Break Dance Competition, a popular regional event started at the Marysville Family YMCA, which will take place this year at Totem Middle School on June 23. The annual event is staged by the Marysville YMCA’s Minority Achievers Program, and is purported to be the second-largest break-dancing event in Washington state, drawing upwards of 800 competitors, DJs, volunteers and spectators from throughout Snohomish County and Washington state, and even, in some cases, from across the country. Last year’s event alone had dancers from Oregon, California, New York, Alaska and even Korea. The competition, which awards monetary prizes to

‘duck derby’ was done,” Duskin said. “He and Mike Jarboe chaired our first race.” The British Columbia Rotary’s rubbery duck derby was adopted by the Arlington Rotary to meet the $10,000 it had pledged toward at the construction of an Arlington community youth center for the Boys & Girls Club in 1987. “John was very active in the Chamber of Commerce,” Duskin said. “He and Pat Pittson were tireless members of the Good Roads Committee, and attended statewide meetings to make sure that monies were spent on our local highways, such as state routes 530 and 9.” Duskin went on to recall that Henken remained one of the Arlington Rotary’s top sellers of Duck Dash tickets, and in 2001 was the single top seller of Duck Dash tickets. According to Duskin, Henken also had a nearly perfect attendance record at Arlington Rotary meetings, and as such was greatly missed when his health eventually forced

Top jet skiers hail from Marysville BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A local Marysville family is making waves this summer by competing in several annual statewide jet ski racing and freestyle race competitions. Angela Clements, of Marysville, and her son Nathan, 12, both achieved high awards on June 9-10, during the Lava Lap Regatta at Soap Lake. Angela Clements placed second in the Novice Women’s Runabout and the Novice Runabout Limited on June 9 and she took first place in the same races on June 10. Clements first tried racing jet skis only a year ago and is already a top performer. “I started racing last year, and this year is my son’s first official year,” said Clements. “A friend of mine was doing it so I tried it and met a lot of people that way. They convinced

me to try racing, and I won my first race last year.” Her first race was part of the Apple Pie Jamboree, which hosted two races per day for one weekend. “I won three of the four races and took the win for the weekend,” said Clements. Jet ski racing competitions are traditionally broken up into divisions based on experience, age, gender and type of jet ski. The race is usually set up slalom style where racers maneuver through buoys and complete a certain number of laps around them. Nathan Clements watched his mom race last year, and then tried racing in an exhibition race. “He tried it and loved it,” said Clements. “He decided he wanted to race, but we told him he had to support his sport.” Nathan took the challenge. He has saved his money from chores and holidays

for the past year and began running fundraisers where he made arts and crafts to sell. “He’s diabetic and he’s had a lot of challenges,” said Angela Clements. “This is him showing the world, ‘I can be a normal kid.’ It’s definitely building up his self confidence.” With the money he raised, Nathan was able to buy his very own jet ski for $650. There are additional costs to the sport that includes maintenance and gas, so the Clements are looking for someone to sponsor Nathan, who took first place in the Junior Ski 10-12 Stock Lites race twice during the Lava Lap Regatta. “He is looking for sponsorship to help defer the cost of the sport,” said Angela Clements. “We are hoping that a small local business will want put their name on his ski and help support a local kid.” Clements also noted that

Marysville’s Nathan Clements, 12, passes a buoy during the Lava Lap Regatta on Soap Lake on June 9. she hopes to make the sport more popular among locals. “If we can encourage people to get out there, and try to get more youth into

it, it is really a great sport,” she said. “The community is really supportive and will always help you out. It’s good exercise and it’s a good

water activity.” For more information on sponsoring Nathan Clements, call Angela at 425-346-3709.

Powder Puff teams prepare for July game BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Powder Puff football moms Jessica Hoffman, No. 23, and Kym Gallo, No. 73, lead players from Marysville and Lakewood in the June 16 Strawberry Parade.

MARYSVILLE — The Strawberry Festival Grand Parade on Saturday, June 16, featured hundreds of local people supporting their own causes including dozens of Powder Puff football players who strolled through the parade selling tickets for their upcoming Powder Puff football match-up on July 20. The “Cougar Mamas” are a team made up of mothers of Lakewood football players who are set to face the “Tomamamas” — a team of Marysville football moms. Despite their upcoming rivalry, the two teams banded together on Saturday to help raise funds for both the Lakewood Youth Football Athletic Association and the Marysville Youth Football League. “This will be our third year playing the Marysville team,” said Dawn Taylor, organizer for the Cougar Mamas. “One of the things we do to raise money is charge $5 for a single entry and $10 for family.”

The game is set for July 20 at 7 p.m. on the MarysvillePilchuck High School football field. Those who want to support the Lakewood team pay on the Lakewood side of the field and those who want to support Marysville pay on the opposite side. “Each side gets to keep the money raised,” said Taylor. Concessions are being sold during the game and money raised from them also goes to support the football associations, to be divided evenly between Lakewood and Marysville. The teams are also finding creative ways to support youth football as well as local businesses. “We’ll do a program for the night of the game and people who would like to place an ad can buy one to go in the program,” said Taylor. “Everyone who attends will get a free program, so the businesses will get exposure that way.” In addition to raising money through ticket sales and advertising, the Powder Puff teams are planning other audienceinvolved fundraisers for the

day of the event. “We are also going to have some fun activities,” said Taylor. “We’ll do a 50/50 raffle and an eating contest.” Last year, the Lakewood team raised more than $5,000 and the Marysville team raised more than $4,000 that went straight to Lakewood and Marysville football. Despite the clear goal of raising money for youth athletics, the Powder Puff match-up is still a fiercely competitive game. “Women are out there everyday at practice,” said Taylor. “We take winning the game very seriously.” The game is also a way of bringing people together over friendly competition. “It’s such a great night,” said Taylor. “It’s really cool when whole communities come together. People are surprised by how much fun it is.” Pre-sale tickets for the game are available by contacting any team coach or player. The Arlington Eagles and Stanwood Spartans are set to face each other on July 28 at Haller Middle School.

Festival Fashion Show features local styles

lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Locally made strawberry topped cupcakes were a fitting end to the Strawberry Festival’s Fashion Show and Luncheon at the Leifer Manor on June 12, which featured a number of styles from local shops, displayed by local models. “If you want to be involved with something fun that brings the community together, come work for the Strawberry Festival,” said Beckye Randall, an organizer for the event. Close to 200 fashion show attendees served themselves a pasta lunch from Christiano’s in Marysville, before sitting down to enjoy watching models strut their stuff in fashions chosen from a variety of Marysville and Tulalip retailers. “This is Project Runway, Marysvillestyle,” said Jim Ballew of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department,

who served as the event’s master of ceremonies. “It’s nice to be celebrating what Marysville has to offer.” Simply Caketastic in Marysville baked Strawberry Festival-themed cupcakes for the event, which were served by organizers during the show. The show kicked off with the father-daughter model combination of Greg Jensen, a Lakewood School Board member and his daughter Ariel Jensen, this year’s Strawberry Festival President’s Marshal. The two donned T-shirts and Bermuda shorts from the Eddie Bauer store at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip. Garments from the locally owned Trusty Threads in Marysville were modeled by two individuals, including Patricia Schoonmaker, the owner of the shop. Schoonmaker modeled a vintage-style gingham print summer dress complete with a matching sunhat. During the show, Randall

helped the Strawberry Festival Junior Royalty princesses draw the winners of the show’s raffle, which included prizes such as a bucket of strawberries, a Fashion Bug gift certificate and movie passes for four to the Olympic Theatre in Arlington. Pat Olson and Jean Wilson, volunteers at the Ken Baxter Community Center, modeled casual styles from the Fashion Bug in Marysville. “We went down to the Fashion Bug and they had a whole bunch to choose from,” said Wilson. “We’ve had a lot of fun,” said Olson. Other garments featured in the show were donated by Nike, Fred Meyer, Cabela’s and Banana Republic. “We donated three garments,” said Debbie Moore of the JCPenney in Marysville, whose store manager Cheryl Shane modeled a little black dress, jewelry and pumps from

her store and was escorted through the runway by Doug Buell, public information officer for the city of Marysville. Buell was not the only face from the city of Marysville to try his hand at being a model — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring modeled a white tuxedo with a red tie while escorting Wendy Messarina, of the Marysville School District, who donned a black and white print dress and hot pink accessories. Nehring’s tuxedo came from the Tux Shop in Marysville, while Messarina’s garments were donated by JCPenney. “This is only the second time I’ve modeled in my life,” said Nehring, who was a model in the 2011 Strawberry Festival Fashion Show. “It’s fun. It’s something different.” Buell, who was also modeling for his second time, agreed. “The fashion show is just a fun and different way to celebrate the Strawberry Festival.”

MARYSVILLE — The MarysvillePilchuck High School auditorium came alive with footsteps, instruments and song on Thursday, June 14, at the Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show once again took to its stage with 30 contestants. While breakdancer Shonn Anderson had won the overall award during last year’s Talent Show, this year that distinction went to seven of his fellow alums of the P2Dance Studio in Marysville, who showed up in coordinated graffiti-covered hoodies and pants to breakdance to the appropriately named “Graffiti.” Victoria Wade, Shayne Anderson, Albee Abigania, Chloe Bosse, Matt Dixon, Khayla Shipman and Ellie House not only demonstrated the dance moves they’d practiced together since September of last year, but also set themselves apart with a set piece that made them appear to be part of a graffiti-tagged wall. “Our costumes and dances allow us to express ourselves artistically,” Abigania said. The P2Dance Studio crew also took first place in the Vocal, Dance and Instrumental Ages 13 and Up category. In the other categories, Taylor Bradshaw’s sassy jazz dance to “Fabulous” earned her first place in the Vocal and Dance Ages 4-8 category, while Victoria Steward took first for singing and playing piano to “Someone Like You.” First place in the Dance Ages 9-11

Mountain View graduates look toward future tainly going to miss hanging out with friends and participating in school activities, but has plans for the future. “I’m going to get a full-time job and start saving money for college.” Jessica Weisinger, agreed with Van Noten. “I’m nervous,” she said. “But it’s a good feeling.” Weisinger’s favorite part about high school was the interesting coursework. “I liked it when we did labs with everybody. They were always bringing weird things in,” she said. Following her graduation, Weisinger is going to focus on taking care of her threemonth old daughter Keira. She is hoping that she can use the skills she learned in school and put them toward getting a job at Boeing. Carmen Twombly echoed the sentiments of her classmates by saying she was both nervous and excited. “But I was already fin-

Like Weisinger and Van Noten, Twombly said she would miss both people and classes. “I really like the science experiments,” said Twombly. She plans to go to beauty college after graduation to focus on cosmetology.

There is one part of graduating high school that will take some getting used to. “I will miss seeing my friends every day,” she said. The graduation ceremony was followed by a reception where refreshments were served.

Hi! I'm a swell guy looking for someone who will let me lick their face! I love to give kisses. I like to chew on treats and chew toys so I'll need plenty of those. I love to go on walks and when I do, I like to hold the leash in my mouth to make sure we are together. I love to play tug with you, it is my favorite. I also love interactive toys such as Buster Cubes for mental exercise. I really am a swell guy & would love to go with you!

All animals adopted from EAS are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas. All cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
