Larsen meets about Violence Against Women Act

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

INDEX

MARYSVILLE — It started at the Marysville Family YMCA 10 years ago as a way of raising $100 to buy a boom box, and it drew a grand total of 150 attendees.

In the years since then, the annual 360 Break Dance Competition has attracted hundreds of contestants each year, scoring its highest turnout in 2007 with 1,000 attendees, and it’s drawn them not only from across the state and throughout the Pacific Northwest, but also from the other side of America and even a few foreign countries.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recognized the significance of the event by issuing a proclamation declaring Saturday, June

23, to be Marysville Family YMCA 360 Break Dance Competition Day, and on that Saturday afternoon and evening, the Totem Middle School gymnasium was stuffed to overflowing, not only with b-boys and b-girls going up against each other in breakdancing battles, but also by the spectators who crowded the bleacher seats to watch the teens and young adults show off their skills.

The annual event is staged by the Marysville YMCA’s Minority Achievers Program, with Benji Travis taking charge of it since its inception. Travis was only 18 years old when the 360 Break Dance Competition kicked off a decade ago, and this year, he handed off the reins to 20-year-old

TULALIP — When Tulalip Tribal Vice Chair Deborah Parker joined U.S. Senators Patty Murray, Barbara Boxer and Amy Klobuchar in Washington, D.C., to advocate the passage of the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act on April 25, the Senate passed the VAWA reauthorization bill by a vote of 68-31 the very next day.

When U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen met with Parker and a host of representatives from regional organizations that assist victims of domestic violence on June 12, the news he had to offer on the bill’s progress through the House of Representatives was not nearly as positive.

“In a very partisan vote, House Republicans voted to roll back the protections for Native Americans, immigrants and LGBT individuals that had been part of the Senate’s Violence Against Women Act,” Larsen said. “Because of this failure to include these groups in the House version of the bill, I had to vote against it, because I don’t want to strengthen the hands of abusers.”

Parker, a survivor of domestic violence who met with both Murray and U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell just days prior to the Senate vote on the Violence Against Women Act, received so many statistics and letSEE LARSEN, PAGE 2

Dominique-Jean Dacoco, who hadn’t even been active in dance before a friend invited him to check out 360 four years ago.

“I hadn’t done any breaking before then, but I ended

up loving it because of this event,” Dacoco said. “I loved the vibe of it, and how it all felt when I came here.”

“Aside from the obvious growth in numbers of competitors and spectators, the biggest change since this thing started has been why we do it,” Travis

Seattle’s Pete Washington is pushing 30, but he shows that ‘older’ folks can still bust out moves at the 360 Break Dance Competition.

said. “It began as a simple fundraiser, but it’s become an experience that teaches participants teamwork and leadership, and instills in them a belief that they can create what they want.

Folks in Seattle thought this would fall flat on its face at first, but since then, they’ve been coming out here right alongside dancers from Portland, Vancouver, California, Alaska, New York and even Korea.”

Travis credited the escalating year-to-year attendance numbers to the hard work in planning and promoting the event done by so many of the volunteers and dancers themselves, whom he praised for putting together quality breaking battles.

Dacoco anticipates that he might tweak the formula a bit, but for the most part, he sees it as his role to continue what’s made 360 such a success so far.

“This is just a really fun place for kids to go,” Dacoco said. “Hip hop has become associated with a negative outlook, but we want to show how positive it can be. Hip hop’s true essence is all about peace, love and unity, just getting along and having fun with each other.

I want to keep 360 as strong as it’s been, and make sure it never gets boring.”

He’ll have some help in doing so, because while Travis is stepping back, he’s not stepping away from 360.

“I’m not ready to let this go just yet, but I’ll be more of an advisor,” Travis said.

“It’s like going from being a committee chair to being a board member.”

“I’ve known Benji for years, and Dom has been one of my best hires,” said Carlton Doup of Kung Fu 4 Kids in Marysville, which hosts breakdancing nights after the YMCA’s closing times. “What these kids can do is amazing, so the least we can do is give them safe spaces to do it in.”

Tacoma’s Byron Donaldson and Lynnwood’s Victor Teng are 360 regulars, and they agreed that few other breakdancing contests can match the sheer scope of 360.

“Most of the other battles I’ve been to are more local and really small,” Donaldson said. “I love the self-expression that breakdancing allows me. I feel free to show myself and be an individual while I’m doing it.”

“It’s a great outlet for my creativity,” Teng said.

“It also got me involved in health and fitness, which have become big parts of my life.”

LARSEN FROM PAGE 1 ters recounting the abuse suffered by many Native American women that she came to realize that the problem of domestic violence was even greater than she’d known.

“Those numbers just blew me away,” Parker said, noting that 88 percent of violence against Native American women is committed by non-Native men.

“They’re way too high. One woman even came to me in a parking lot to tell me what she’d been through. I went through the same, but our next generation should have a step up. Our Indian woman are just as important as any other women, and they deserve the same amount of respect.”

Parker reiterated her contention that Congress should improve the tribes’ ability to bring non-Indians who live and commit crimes against women on tribal lands to justice, as part of the tribes’ treaty rights.

Vicci Hilty, deputy director of Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County, described herself as “horrified” at the House version of the Violence Against Women Act, which she sees as “discarding” Native American women and LGBT individuals.

“All our sisters are important and all victims deserve recognition,” Hilty said. “My mother burned her bra in the 1960s, but it seems like we have to fight for so many of the same rights today. I thought we were past this.”

Dr. Dale Todd of Phoenix

Counseling Consultants has 14 years of experience in his field in Snohomish County, and he echoed Hilty’s concerns that “we’re going backward” in terms of societal attitudes toward domestic violence. Cyndi Peterson Todd, his wife and partner in Phoenix Counseling Consultants, called for more perpetrators of domestic violence to be sent to counseling and be held accountable for their actions.

When asked why the Senate and House votes on the Violence Against Women Act turned out so differently, Larsen explained that the Senate version of the bill passed with more than 60 cosponsors, “enough to make it uncomfortable for those who might have opposed it otherwise,” whereas the House affords no such structural mechanism to prevent potential filibusters.

“I don’t want to question my colleagues’ motives, but some members of the House believed that these conditions ought not to apply,” Larsen said. “But the Constitution gives Congress broad authority to set tribal jurisdictions.

We should be able to find a way for no one to be left unprotected.”

Larsen encouraged those in attendance, and those in the surrounding community, to put pressure on Congress by emphasizing that “it’s not enough that Congress pass just any version of the Violence Against Women Act, but that they pass one which strengthens protections for those who are left vulnerable.”

Cities urge residents to follow fireworks laws

While the cities of Arlington and Marysville encourage their citizens to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday in a festive manner, the cities’ police officers and firefighters want to make sure that those who choose to use fireworks do so in a safe and legal fashion.

The city of Arlington allows fireworks to be sold from 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 28, to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4, whereas the city of Marysville allows fireworks to be sold from noon to 11 p.m. on June 28 and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Friday, June 29 through July 4.

Marysville residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4, while Arlington residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and midnight on July 4.

Neither city allows its residents to discharge their fireworks on any other day, and both cities limit their legal fireworks to Class C, or “safe and sane” fireworks. Neighboring Native American reservations may sell fireworks that do not conform to these laws, but such fireworks must be detonated on reservation lands.

The retail fireworks stands of “Boom City” on the Tulalip Tribal Reservation are open from 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week, through July 4.

Boom City also provides a lighting and detonation area on site for customers, since not all of the fireworks sold at Boom City are allowed to be detonated off the reservation. Security personnel will monitor the area to ensure that children aged 12 years and younger have adults aged 18 years or older present.

According to Marysville Fire District Division Chief and Fire Marshal Tom Maloney, fireworks that are illegal off tribal lands include bottle rockets, skyrockets, missiles and firecrackers. M-80s and larger, as well as dynamite and any improvised, homemade or altered explosive devices such as tennis balls, sparkler bombs or cherry bombs are likewise illegal explosive devices, and those who possess or use such illegal explosive devices can expect to be charged with a felony.

In its online list of tips

to the public, the Arlington Fire Department noted that illegal fireworks are often unpackaged and wrapped in plain brown paper, and warned against purchasing any fireworks that are not in their original packages, or are in opened or damaged packages.

Marysville police are taking enforcement of these laws seriously and will be citing those caught with illegal fireworks between now and the Fourth of July. Under state law, possession or discharge of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to a year in jail and a mandatory court appearance. City of Marysville Public Information Officer Doug Buell pointed out that Marysville police can issue criminal citations to violators or civil citations, the latter similar to a standard ticket.

Marysville police may issue a civil infraction, or fine, in an amount up to $500, instead of a criminal citation. The criminal misdemeanor fine is consistent with the standard state penalty of an amount not to exceed $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. Gross misdemeanor offenses carry a fine of up to $5,000 and/or a year in jail, and a person with three or more civil infractions within a two-year time period will be cited for a misdemeanor.

Marysville Police Cmdr.

Robb Lamoureux explained that such civil infractions enable officers to spend more time on the streets responding to fireworks complaints, and less time processing criminal citation paperwork. He added that the safety of individuals and property is the police department’s utmost concern.

“Use caution and follow safety rules for responsible use of fireworks,” Lamoureux said. “Illegal fireworks in particular pose a public safety and medical hazard, and they have the potential to cause property damage in the Marysville area.”

Although Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield believes that Arlington police are more likely to try and educate those using illegal fireworks, or those using fireworks illegally, she warned that, “If they have to make a repeat trip to your place for fireworks, it’ll probably

result in a fine.”

Officials in both cities urge Fourth of July holiday revelers to clean up their fireworks after they’re finished.

“After you light it up, clean it up,” Buell said.

“Discarded fireworks the days after the Fourth are a neighborhood eyesore, and smoldering, spent fireworks can still pose a fire hazard if not disposed of properly.”

To dispose of spent fireworks properly, the Arlington Fire Department advises that people let their used fireworks lay on the ground until they are cool and there is no chance that any residue will reignite, after which they should place all the expended firework cases in a bucket of water to soak them thoroughly. Those who use fireworks should keep a bucket of water or a running water hose close by in case of a firework malfunction or fire.

“First and foremost, our fire and police chiefs strongly encourage our residents to stay safe by attending the local public displays, such as the one at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Arlington,” Banfield said.

‘Boom City’ fireworks vendors such as Rocky Harrison are allowed to sell their fireworks at different hours than stands in the city limits of Arlington and Marysville, but some of the fireworks sold at ‘Boom City’ can only be lit or detonated there, since they’re not legal outside of the Tulalip Tribal Reservation.

“If you do use fireworks, however, only use them as intended, and use common sense. Don’t try to alter them or combine them, and never relight a ‘dud’ firework.

Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter, and alcohol and fireworks do not mix, so have a ‘designated shooter.’ Only those older than 12 should be allowed to

handle fireworks, especially sparklers of any type.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reflections in Strawberries For 25-plus years it was my honor to serve as the Managing Director/Grand Parade Director for the Marysville Strawberry Festival. My job was to make sure events were all scheduled and everything was in place in time to welcome event participants and spectators to our community the third week in June of each year. This was no small task, but one I took to heart and totally enjoyed. At the end of each event, I would sit for a moment, take a deep breath and say to myself, “We did it and it was just great!”

This year I have been honored by Maryfest Inc. President Debbie Libbing, Parade Director Carol Kapua and the Maryfest organization having been named the Grand Marshal for this year’s Grand Parade. While this is a great honor, it does bring a sense of sadness.

I have had the honor to work with so many terrific people over the years. They were all truly dedicated to one purpose — maintaining the quality and high standards set forth by those who came before. While some of these people are no longer with us, their spirits dance through the streets each year at Festival time, including Bernie St. Onge, the man who in 1974 said “No, this festival will not die;” Duke Demiglio, the voice of the Marysville Strawberry Festival for more years that I can count; Audrey Black, writer for The Marysville Globe, a.k.a. The Nice Old Lady; Larry Johnson, one of the originators of the Adult Trike Race; Larry Neilsen, one of the best “Grand Parade Assistants” anyone could ever ask for; and

the lead will be ex-Mayor Rita and Frank Matheny.

For many years now, my role has been reversed. I have now become a spectator, not an organizer. I have been able to sit on the sidelines and watch as “the parade passes by.” Many years ago, then Marysville Mayor Rita Matheny gave me a small framed picture of three children, in band uniforms, watching fireworks, the caption reads: “If there were no parades and no celebrations — our brass bands would cry, our sky rockets and sparklers would fade and be forgotten ...”

My wish for all of you is to, “Keep the Spirit of Strawberry Festival Alive” and let the Festival begin — year after year after year after year!

Sincerely, Cheryl Deckard Marysville

A day trip to Bryant “Come thou … One day amid the woods with me…” 19th century poet William Cullen Bryant’s “A Summer Ramble” haunted me as I left I-5 at exit 212, StanwoodBryant Road, and drove east a few minutes. Bryant, Washington, elevation 171 feet, has an official census population of zero (its mailing address is Arlington,) some magnificent history, building No. 1 on Snohomish County’s register of historic places, and trees, trees, trees. When I reached Highway 9 I had arrived; the Bryant Store was on my left and the current end of the Centennial Trail across the road.

No, Bryant wasn’t named for this poet who venerated the outdoors yet lived his life in the east.

Responsible journals say it was named for the Bryant Lumber & Shingle Co., about 1892. But as I wandered up and down the roads, crossed Roth Creek and wondered for whom the silver stream was named, I knew that Bryant the poet wrote of nature’s marvels exactly like these. Up the hill on 55th Avenue, there is three-tenths of a mile without civilization. It was easy to imagine the narrow road away, imagine that I was in the forest primeval. Fifty-third dead ends at Molstad’s Place, for generations the homestead of the folks who owned these acres. Prewar homes nestle on that hillside, seemingly reconciled to the new ramblers that are their neighbors.

Around Loyal Heights I watched a doe and two fawns graze on the grounds of an old, white school on 269th NE. If you want to know anything about Bryant, or hanker for a

huge cup of coffee for a buck (refills just 50 cents) stop at the Bryant Store. Established in 1929

by Charles Smith and the first building on Snohomish County’s Register of Historic Places, it was home and business to Charles and later to his son, Norm Smith, who worked the store for 45 years.

Terrie Welch, Smith family friend and the store’s owner, said, “We have a wall of stuff for the kids, at 25 cents or less. And night crawlers, if you want to try your luck for trout or bass in Bryant Lake, ‘just over there.’” An inviting patio area beside the coffee pot offers a homemade wire-spool umbrella table, and features a 3x5 handdrawn map of 1900 Bryant, featuring landmarks like the Berge Cow Barn and La Bross Saloon.

The Centennial Trail is 28 miles of asphalt bike/pedestrian path with a horse trail beside it, beginning in Snohomish in 1989 and finally arriving here last year.

There is no concrete schedule for its continuation northward from Bryant, although it is estimated that half a million people used the trail last year. It follows Highway 9 and ends near the Bryant Community Church, a building from the 1950s that is also the Bryant Grange.

I wanted to investigate the Pioneer Museum, but it wasn’t

open on Friday. The Genealogical Society is in new digs, a little old house on the hill, and Marietta Roth, a resident since 1963, is a pillar. I visited in her kitchen.

“Roth?” I flipped back through my notes. “Roth Creek? Named for some of your family?”

Her 84-year-old eyes sparkled like a girl’s. “I loved Bob Roth so much,” she confessed. “I had that sign made and planted.” No one has ever complained, said Marietta.

On the back of Max Henderson’s property, while searching for abandoned railroad tracks said to be there, I wondered how the Western Hemlock became Washington’s state tree.

Only cedars and maples a hundred feet high abounded, sporting skirts of tall ferns. Decaying stumps four feet in diameter had birthed huckleberry bushes. Once again, the forest primeval filled my senses.

I followed a slow logging truck out of town, a welcome sight. I didn’t complain as I might have forty years ago when they were abundant, and their logs twice as big. I thought of William Cullen Bryant again, of his poem “Autumn Woods.”

“The woods of Autumn all around our vale, have put their glory on.” Such will be Bryant, Washington in October. I must plan another day trip.

Arlington prepares for annual festivities

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Marysville Strawberry Festival wrapped up in grand style for the year, but the city of Arlington’s Fourth of July celebrations are still ahead, and promise to feature both familiar favorites and a few new wrinkles this year.

On Wednesday, July 4, the morning kicks off with a $5-per-plate pancake breakfast at Haller Park, located at 1100 West Ave., from 7 a.m. to noon, courtesy of the Arlington Rural Fire Department.

The action starts with the Pedal, Paddle Puff Triathlon, which begins in Haller Park before mapping out a course that consists of 5.8 miles of biking to River Meadows Park and six miles of canoeing and kayaking down the Stillaguamish River, followed by a three-mile run.

The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce sponsors this event, whose registration runs from 8-9 a.m. in time for a 10 a.m. start. For more information, call 360-403-3448 or log onto www.arlingtonwa.gov.

The Kiwanis Club of Arlington’s Scholarship Auction will also return to Haller Park, with silent auctions at 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. followed by the live auction at noon. To donate items and help out graduating Arlington and Lakewood high school seniors in the process, call 360-435-5789.

A new activity this year is the “Old Fashioned Fourth” which will run from 1-7 p.m. in Legion Park, located at 114 N. Olympic Ave. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce will be offering children’s games, relay races, food concessions, balloons, apple pie and more.

Children 12 years and younger are invited to pre-

cede the Grand Parade with the traditional Kiddies Parade, whose registration take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District, located at 210 Division St. The lineup and judging will happen at Frontier Bank, prior to the parade itself at 4:30 p.m. The Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics sponsor not only the Kiddies Parade, but also the Grand Parade, the latter with the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce.

The Fourth of July Grand Parade on Olympic Avenue commences at 5 p.m., but registration runs from 2:304:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District, and those who have not registered by 4:30 p.m. will not be able to enter.

For more information on either parade, call 360618-7848, or log onto either www.arlingtonwa.gov or www.arlington-smokeypointchamber.com for application forms.

The action comes back to Haller Park for the Great Stilly Duck Dash at 7:30 p.m., whose rubber ducks will be launched into the Stillaguamish River from Lincoln Bridge, weather permitting. Cash awards of $5,000 will go to the firstplace finisher, $2,000 to second place, $1,000 to third and $100 to the fourththrough 10th-place finishers. Tickets can be purchased at the Arlington Pharmacy or at Haller Park after the Grand Parade. For more information, log onto www. greatstillyduckdash.com.

The Fourth of July fireworks display over the Arlington Boys & Girls Club will start around

9 p.m., shortly after dark, courtesy of the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary Club of Arlington.

One week later, the Arlington Fly-In and Street Fair will draw locals and travelers alike to downtown Arlington and the Arlington Municipal Airport.

The Arlington Fly-In runs from Wednesday, July 11, through Sunday, July 15, while the Street Fair runs from Friday, July 13, through July 15.

The Fly-In will offer its “Kids Day” on Thursday, July 12, during which all children accompanied by adults are admitted for free.

Activities begin at 10 a.m. and are set to include flight simulators, candy airplane making, face painting, helicopters, “Bubble Mania” and the Arlington High School Robotics Club.

On July 13, “Vintage Day” will showcase 1920s and ‘30s era aircraft at the airport from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., while live music is set to kick off at 6 p.m.

On Saturday, July 14, the Fly-In Car Show will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring planes, tractors and automobiles — the latter including antiques, classics and hot rods — with live music playing in the background all day. The aircraft judging awards will be presented at 5:15 p.m. and followed by a live performance by the Mukilteo Outrageous Jazz Orchestra at 7 p.m.

The Fly-In’s multitude of events will conclude with the Saturday evening “Hot Air Balloon Night Glow” on July 14. Event organiz-

Arlington, Marysville receive road funds

Arlington and Marysville are among 40 Washington cities that have been chosen to receive shares of $50 million in federal safety funds for 75 street improvement projects statewide.

More than $9 million in federal funds have been set aside to improve safety on streets in Snohomish County alone, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Arlington expects to receive approximately $44,000 for such improvements, while Marysville is looking to receive approximately $1,744,000, with much of that money centered on State Avenue. The two cities will share monies for improvements to Smokey Point Boulevard.

The intersections for which Arlington is responsible on Smokey Point Boulevard are 169th, 172nd and 174th streets, for which funds of approximately $7,000, $10,000 and $27,000 have been set aside, respectively, to add yellow back plate retroreflective tape, upgrade pedestrian displays to the countdown type, and also upgrade mast arm street name signs to current size, lettering style and retroreflective standards. The left turn phasing at the intersection of 174th Street and Smokey Point Boulevard will also be modified from permissive to protected/permissive.

“These are relatively minor measures that will improve safety by improving visibility,” said Jim Kelly,

public works director for the city of Arlington. “By making them more reflective, the signs will stand out more, so that they’re more noticeable in storms or at night.”

Although Arlington has not yet been awarded its funds, once that happens, Kelly plans to use the city’s contract with Snohomish County’s road maintenance crews to install the improvements, possibly before the end of the summer.

“We already have an interlocal agreement with them to perform maintenance like this, to help keep our roads safe.”

While $250,000 of the funds going to Marysville fall under the heading of citywide intersection safety improvements, the remainder will be devoted to State Avenue’s intersections — $1,395,000 to its intersections with First through 88th streets, and $99,000 to its intersections with 116th through 128th streets.

“These funds were based on histories of serious accidents,” said John Tatum, traffic engineer for the city of Marysville. “If your locations weren’t the sites of serious accidents, you weren’t invited to apply. We were told that we could do a few big improvements or a bunch of little improvements, on as many intersections as we wanted, so we did a number of smaller improvements on other intersections, while setting aside funds for the big items at the intersection of State Avenue and 88th Street.”

While the intersections with streets such as First, Third, Sixth, Eighth

and 76th received similar improvements to those of Arlington, ranging from yellow back plate retroreflective tape and upgraded pedestrian displays to pedestrian walk timing for four of those crossings, Fourth Street’s intersection is designated to receive improvements to its traffic signals including queue detection for gridlock caused by train crossings, while the signal system at the 80th Street intersection is slated to be completely replaced. As for the 88th Street intersection with State Avenue, it’s due to receive a westbound thru/ right-turn lane, an additional northbound signal head, pedestrian walk timing and advanced railroad preemption circuitry.

“These measures address specific issues that we’ve had,” Tatum said. “They improve safety by relieving congestion, since stop-andgo traffic leads to more rearenders. We’re also working with the railroads to improve the crosswalk timing and give pedestrians a better chance.”

Tatum personally credited city of Marysville Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen with pushing him to “be bold” in seeking these improvement funds, although he reiterated that every request was motivated by a demonstrated need.

“Hopefully, this will help our signals at the intersection of Fourth and State get smarter, so that cars aren’t sitting there on a green light when the train is going across,” Tatum said. “We’ve got a pole at Fourth and Cedar that’s been hit three times by trucks, so this will help take care of that problem too.”

WSDOT studied collisions for a five-year period and discovered that intersectionrelated crashes accounted for more than half of all serious injury and fatality collisions on city streets and citymaintained state highways.

Hibulb Cultural Center hosts ‘The Rememberer’

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Visitors to the Hibulb Cultural Center on Friday, June 22, were transported back in time by more than a century through the storytelling skills of the Red Eagle Soaring Native Youth Theatre group.

“The Rememberer” is a play based on the life of Joyce Simmons Cheeka, a young Squaxin Indian girl forcibly taken from her home in 1911 and placed in the government-run Tulalip Indian Training School.

While a few of the close to two dozen cast members were in their 20s or 30s, most of the actors were in their teens, carrying on the legacy of a theater group that had started in Seattle before they were born.

“This is about remembering our heritage and our connection to the land,” said Curtis Ahenakew, an adult actor with the group, before the multi-tribal company of performers depicted how the government-run schools had sought to strip the Native American students of their culture, by forbidding them to speak their own language

and pass own their traditional tales. “I was worried how well these kids would pull this off, because it’s a big task, but I almost cried at their last show.”

“The Rememberer” chronicles how Joyce not only kept the memories of the stories and customs that her elders had passed onto her, but also how she survived the influenza epidemic that claimed so many other Native American students and their teachers during the early 20th century. Like her grandfather Mud Bay Sam, Joyce became “the rememberer” for her people, even in the face of government educators who believed they needed to “kill the Indian to save the man.”

Cecil Cheeka, Joyce’s son, sat in on the evening performance of “The Rememberer” at the Hibulb Cultural Center, and praised both the young actors and the families who had supported their endeavors.

“Parents, with as many young people as are part of this, just getting them to their practices is a task of no small magnitude,” Cecil Cheeka said. “When Red Eagle

Soaring started performing this play 18 years ago, the 24 kids in its cast was the largest group of young Native American actors in Seattle.

This play showed me a slice of my mother’s life that I never knew about, and 18 years later, it’s still very special to see play out. I’m especially impressed that such young actors can memorize 88 pages of dialogue.”

Fern Naomi Renville, one of the adult actors, explained that the students had started rehearsing in the last week of January, and made their theatrical debut at “Folk Life” on Memorial Day. Tulalip Tribal Vice Chair Deborah Parker first encountered the Red Eagle Soaring Native Youth Theatre in 1989, when she was still a student at the University of Washington, and she passed around the drum to collect $279 in donations for the company from the audience, who gave even though it was a free show.

“I love to see our young people continuing to tell our stories,” Parker said. “I only hope we’ll see more youth here in the years to come. It’s good to learn your identity.”

Sheriff’s Office shows off equipment

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The grounds of the Tulalip Resort Casino showcased a demonstration on Thursday, June 14, of the same skills and equipment that members of the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office Air Support Unit used to rescue a 13-year-old Burien, Wash., boy from a

ledge just a few feet from 270-foot Wallace Falls on May 20.

Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Deputy Bill Quistorf was the chief pilot for that rescue mission, and after he and roughly half a dozen fellow members of the Air Support Unit demonstrated a flight-and-rescue set of maneuvers near

the Tulalip Resort using the Snohomish County Helicopter SnoHawk 10 and the Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform, the helicopter touched down so that onlookers from the Washington State Council of Police and Sheriff ’s Conference could examine the “AirTEP” more closely.

“This thing could pick up

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Snohomish County Sheriff’s Deputy Bill Quistorf explains how the Airborne Tactical Extraction Platform, or ‘AirTEP,’ opens up upon hitting the ground, but also folds up to carry civilians securely.

10 people, if they were small enough,” Quistorf said of the AirTEP, which opens up like an upside-down umbrella as soon as it hits the ground to release the personnel in its pockets, which fold up and lock securely. “The platform itself can carry around 2,000 pounds, if you’ve got low fuel and light gear. It’s got backup systems, but the rope that holds it is beefy and rated for about 3,300 pounds.”

While the AirTEP includes places for personnel to clip in safety harnesses, its pockets will also hold civilians whom rescuers can remove from high-rise buildings, tall mountains or other steep elevation points with no other avenues of escape.

“With that boy, we didn’t have a trail that we could move him to,” Quistorf said.

“I think Wallace Falls was our first opportunity to use the AirTEP as part of a mission. The AirTEP cost about $80,000, and it’s already proven itself to be a very valuable tool. It’s multiple applications include search and rescue, hazardous response, firefighting and transportation of SWAT.”

More than 100 youth from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints work to create a walking path to the Strawberry Fields Off-Leash Dog Park on June 23.

Church youth volunteer at park Conference, that took place that same weekend. They’ve since set about putting those teachings into practice in the communities in which they live and attend church.

“It’s a good opportunity to be part of the community and to serve,” agreed Jessie Warner, 17. “I love to serve because it brings me happiness. I think it creates a good example to others in the community.”

Aviation is on a lot of folks’ bucket lists,” he laughed.

Years ago, a majority of commercial pilots came into the field through military experience, but with measures such as stop-loss retentions having kept many of those pilots in uniform, Duncan sees general aviation as the future for replenishing the ranks of civilian pilots.

“Aviation is definitely something different to do,” Smith said. “There’s no other way you can just wake up in the morning and travel halfway across the country in the same day. You don’t get the experiences while driving or riding a train, or even as a

passenger on a larger plane, that you do as the pilot of your own plane.”

As a flight instructor, Smith described the enjoyment he gets from helping prospective plots achieve their goals, while Vicki Duncan, Kevin’s wife and vice president of AFS, echoed her husband and Smith’s sentiments that helping to grow the aerospace and business communities around the Arlington Municipal Airport is one of their own goals with the company.

Arlington Flight Services is following its grand opening with a pancake breakfast from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, June 30.

MARYSVILLE — The rain was coming down hard on the afternoon of Saturday, June 23, as more than 100 youth from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints laid down “beauty bark” and planted trees at the Strawberry Fields in Marysville, in an effort to create a walking path to the Off-Leash Dog Park.

ARLINGTON — In spite of a steady downpour that kept much of their festivities confined to the interior of their hangar, Arlington Flight Services still celebrated its official grand opening at the Arlington Municipal Airport on Saturday, June 23.

As of April of this year, Arlington Flight Services is a new fixed-base operator that supports general and business aviation with a variety of services, including flight training and aircraft rental, maintenance and management. At the grand opening and open house, the company’s employees pledged to provide the highest level of service to their customers, as well as memorable experiences in aviation, and noted how much they look forward to bringing in new aviators and corporate clientele to the Arlington Municipal Airport.

“We’re already growing by leaps and bounds,” said Lucas Smith, flight operations manager and director for AFS. “We expect to see some additions in the future.”

AFS President Kevin Duncan touted the versatility of AFS as a full-service flight center, and estimated that his three flight instructors possess a combined total of more than 16,000 flight hours between them.

Mayor honors Van Brocklin

MARYSVILLE – Mayor Jon Nehring has honored Tyler Van Brocklin as Volunteer of the Month for May for contributions at the community center and city Parks and Recreation events.

“Tyler is an outstanding 14-year-old who is proving that you’re never too young to be an asset to the community you call home,” said Nehring at the June 11 City Council meeting where Van Brocklin was honored.

Nehring applauded Van Brocklin for his desire to make a difference. “Through his promising leadership, initiative, positive actions and the satisfaction that comes from helping others, Tyler is gaining a lifechanging perspective and lessons that he will serve him for the rest of his life.”

Four years ago, Van Brocklin began volunteering at the Parks Department and Ken Baxter Community Center.

He has taught seniors how to play the Nintendo Wii system, helped out with annual community center barbecues and assisted with children’s crafts at

Merrysville for the Holidays events. His warm personality has rubbed off on community center visitors in other ways, too.

As Community Center Coordinator Maryke Burgess tells it, Van Brocklin was at the center one day when he asked whether an Amish fireplace in the facility’s card room heated up the entire room. Burgess said it does a good job, but probably not the entire room.

A few months later, Van Brocklin surprised the community center with a $340 check to help toward the purchase of a second fireplace. “Now the participants can be warm in the winter and enjoy the look of a fireplace instead of just a wall heater,” Nehring said.

Van Brocklin raised the money through his volunteer work in the senior program at New Life Church.

Volunteers serve meals to seniors a couple of Saturdays each month, and while it isn’t required, seniors insist on leaving tips for the volunteers, which the young man then combined with his own money to buy the fireplace.

Van Brocklin enjoys horticulture, computers and systems management and energy conservation, talents and interests that he enjoys incorporating into ways that he can help others. To the delight of his proud mother Vicki, who attended the City Council meeting, her son

also enjoys housework and keeping the house clean, ever-conscientious that she works a busy and demanding full-time job.

“Tyler is a thoughtful and caring person who enjoys making a difference,” said Nehring. “He enjoys volunteering, and he has fun doing it.”

Boys & Girls Club offers new sports camps

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Boys & Girls Club’s Marysville Unit recently held a successful open house to reach out to the community and garner interest in their programs — including a number of youth sports camps.

The free open house, which offered a barbecue, games and other activities, coincided with the Strawberry Festival on Friday, June 15, from 6-8 p.m. and sign-up sheets were available for those who expressed interest.

The open house was so successful that the Boys & Girls club is planning to hold one every month.

“It was a lot more about reaching out to our neighbors,” said Evans. “We are going to have an open house once a month.”

A number of Marysville residents signed up for the summer sports camps during the open house, which include a multitude of different options.

“We are really proud of our summer camps this year,” said director Matt Evans.

“For our sports camps we are teaming up with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club and we are using some of their facilities there.”

The different sports camps offered through the nonprofit Boys & Girls Club include basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, flag football and more.

“We have something new called lifetime

sports, which is to teach kids sports they can use for their lifetime,” said Evans.

“This includes things like hiking, biking and fishing.”

Each day of summer camp provides a different schedule for the kids to follow.

For all-day camps, conditioning games such as “Great Wall” — where children run through the gym avoiding being tagged in the middle by a number of other players — provide skills that can be used in a multitude of sports.

“I first learned about it when I was a kid playing soccer,” said Evans. “It builds skill that can be used for every sport.” All-day camps offer more than sports as well, with creative time spent on arts and crafts and team building as well.

“We have an eclectic group of physical activities that helps support the Boys & Girls Club philosophy of helping kids maintain an overall healthy lifestyle,” said Evans.

Upcoming sports summer camps include soccer camp, which begins the week of June 25. One-week camps take place Monday through Thursday for one hour. The prices of the camps range from $75 to $90 per child.

For more information on summer camps contact the Boys & Girls Club Marysville Unit at 360-659-2576.

YMCA starts water season with safety focus

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Summer has officially arrived and with it comes the season of water sports.

The Marysville YMCA began its annual SPLASH

Week on Monday, June 25, which aims to instruct participants on water safety and is sponsored by the Marysville Noon Rotary.

“SPLASH Week focuses on water safety for all bodies of water — pools, lakes, rivers,” said Chelsey Roe,

the YMCA aquatics director. The program runs for five days and has two lesson times — in the morning and evening — for those interested in learning about safety or kicking off their summer water recreation, for only $10.

“We already have 345 kids registered and last year we had 288, so definitely some bigger numbers which is great,” said Roe. “In addition to the ability to swim, knowing how to be safe in and around the water helps kids feel proud

and confident. They will use that knowledge for the rest of their lives,” according to the YMCA program description.

“It’s a community service that we do. It’s a very comprehensive safety focused class,” said Roe. “Each day we have a different focus like the beach, boating or regular swim lessons. It’s really a push for safety for the whole summer.”

Roe said that this year’s SPLASH Week has already seen more registration numbers than 2011, but that may be due to shifts in programming.

“I do the whole 30-minute lesson in the water,” said Roe. “There has been a lot of drowning during this time of year,” said Roe. “We are just trying to focus on prevention.”

SPLASH Week kicks off the YMCA’s summer water class season, with swimming lessons beginning in the first week of July. “About 75 percent or more signed up for SPLASH Week are nonmembers, because it’s pretty low cost,” said Roe.

“But we do have financial aid available for our swimming classes, whether you are a member or not.”

The YMCA is also offering a number of different dates and times for swimming lessons so that parents may find at least one session that fits their needs.

“We have month-long evening lessons either on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.,” said Roe. Also available are twomonth long Saturday morning classes from 9 a.m. to noon.

There are also morning swimming classes Monday through Friday for a twoweek session starting on July 2.

Classes are available to those who are very much beginners including infants and toddlers to classes for teenagers and adults.

Additional information about swim lessons and water safety can be found at the YMCA website www. ymca-snoco.org/marysville.

Grace Academy graduates look to diverse futures

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Grace Academy’s graduating class of 2012 was described as “unified in Christ, yet fierce individuals” by Joan Dabrowski, art and yearbook teacher for the school.

“The class of 2012 is one that will be remembered as an enigma,” Dabrowski said.

“Their future plans are as diverse as their personalities.”

Patti Frisk, the class advisor for 2012’s graduates, described them as “creative, fun-loving and sensitive to God’s word,” and her desire for their future would be that their hearts and minds would focus on the heavenly qualities within their lives.

Grace Academy class of 2012 graduate James Eldred III explained how he’s been affected “by the godly example of leadership my teachers have set before me,” and how he hopes to follow their example “and succeed in leading God’s people where they need to go.”

“Grace Academy has been a place for me to call home,” added Eldred, who plans to be a pastor of music, and will be studying at Baptist Bible College in Florida.

“When everything is falling apart outside, here at Grace they have conveyed to me Jeremiah 29:11, ‘God has a plan for me.’”

Of his fellow graduates, Everett Community College is the destination for David

Malynda Clark is going into the U.S. Army, while Brett Soden prepares to enter Seattle Pacific University.

ARLINGTON — Highland Christian School’s graduating class of 2012 have credited their successes to their mentors and their shared faith as they prepare to embark upon adulthood.

Valedictorian Samantha Schweizer thanked the students’ parents and teachers alike for supporting them throughout their schooling, even as she acknowledged that she and her peers hadn’t always made it easy on them.

“We have fought and bickered, laughed and cried, dated and broken up, and through it all, we have grown

up together,” Schweizer told her fellow graduates on June 8. “Looking at you all now, there is not one of you who has not made an impression on my life.”

Schweizer quoted the class’ verse — “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity” — before she urged her classmates to “go forth in Christ” and trust in both their religion and in the equality of education that they’ve received at Highland.

Salutatorian Esther Brown recalled class landmarks such as all-night study sessions and completing pages of their yearbook, and cited them as examples of how God has given them the strength to overcome life’s obstacles, even when they might be of their own making.

“We are all unique and special in our own ways, but the one thing that we all have in common is our determination,” Brown said “In the last four years, I have come to realize that when our class sets our minds to do something, we will do it.”

Pastor Steve Brown, the class advisor for Highland’s class of 2012, noted that the students’ diverse postgraduate plans include a nursing degree for Ted Taft, a structural engineering degree at Washington State University for Clayton Binder, mechanical engineering for Sami Abdallah, training as a dental hygienist for Brown and majoring in history at Whitworth University for Schweizer.

“This is a class with a bright future,” Brown said.

“Go forth with God’s blessing and grace.”

Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves.But don't give up until

you've read a new report entitled "Sell Your Own Home" which has been prepared especially for homesellers like you. You'll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process.

Inside this report, you'll find 10 inside tips to selling your home by yourself which will help you sell for the best price in the shortest amount of time. You'll find out what real estate agents don't want you to know.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 11-800-270-4033 and enter 1017. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Loki came to the shelter as a stray, so we're not really sure what he's been up to lately. We know that he's about 11 years young & that he's a handsome orange & white boy. He seems to always have this worried look on his face, even when he's relaxed & just scoping out the scene. We also know that regardless of how he got to the shelter, he deserves to be back in a loving & safe home, with a family who will provide him with the love & care he is looking for.
