MARYSVILLE — Marissa Brugger has saved hundreds of lives. She is not a doctor or an emergency responder. She is not a nurse or a combat medic. She is a foster mom — a kitten foster mom. Brugger is one of more than 100 foster parents of young kittens and puppies, who help to save the lives of animals that otherwise would have been euthanized. The program was started by Lani Kurtz, animal welfare director at the Northwest Organization for Animal Help, or N.O.A.H. “I’ve been fostering for over a year here at N.O.A.H,” said Brugger, a Marysville resident, who didn’t expect to be a foster mom. “It really just came down to my very first foster —

Raja. It was a large litter and she kept getting pushed out. She was less than two days old,” she said. “I spent all my time with her trying to get her going. It was a rocky road but she’s better now.” Brugger still has Raja, but when she’s not at work she is also helping to rescue other small kittens. Since being at N.O.A.H., she has fostered 57 cats and kittens, and she fostered 85 while living in Idaho. The kittens range from newborn litters with their mothers, to weeks-old kittens that need a few extra pounds before they can be adopted. “It is very rewarding,” said Brugger. “It’s fun to see these adorable kittens get more adorable as they grow. And it provides a service — these kittens might not make it if they weren’t fostered.” SEE FOSTER, PAGE 11

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, left, talks to Reid Shockey, president of the Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation, about the possibility of installing underpasses at the railroad intersections in town to alleviate traffic congestion.

TULALIP — Reid Shockey sees North Snohomish County’s ongoing population growth leading to greater traffic congestion, and while traffic jams are aggravating enough on their own, Shockey fears they could derail the economic engine of the region. Shockey, president of the Snohomish County Committee for Improved Transportation, recently spoke to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce about how SCCIT was formed in 1983 and has evolved to address the problems of transportation in the area. “Prior to 1983, everyone had their own constituent groups, and they weren’t think-

ing about how they related to one another,” Shockey said. “Today, our plans are coalescing into a developing consensus for the future. Within the county, we’re seeking the prosperity of partnerships by figuring out how to come together while competing with each other.” Shockey pointed to Snohomish County’s roles in the economies of the Puget Sound, the Pacific Northwest and the United States as evidence of its global importance, which he asserted makes it essential that local companies

They need to know what you’re for, rather than just what you’re against, and you need to speak to them with one voice.” “We need a list of priorities for Snohomish County, delivered with one voice, for which projects we should do,” agreed state Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen. For more information, log onto http://sccit.wordpress.com.

Field and improving crossconnections through the north-south “ladder” corridor of roads in Snohomish County, the latter by ensuring that more bus routes connect to Everett. Shockey likewise touched upon the controversy of coal trains possibly coming to Marysville by acknowledging the debate while asserting that “we’ve got to make sure that it allows the rest of the traffic to operate.” Shockey cited the projected population growth of Arlington, from 29,780 now to 40,185 in 2025, as but one example of the need to explore different modes of transportation. At the same time, he admitted that it would cost nearly $3 billion within the next 10 years just to target bottlenecks and infrastructure gaps, and almost $11 bil-

that produce and ship goods around the world can address such basic questions as how their employees will get to work, how their businesses will send supplies where they’re needed on time, and how North Snohomish County can develop its own strategies “without letting Seattle run your lives.” Shockey identified aerospace, transit, rail and freight as priorities for North Snohomish County, and urged those in attendance at the Chamber’s Business Before Hours on July 27 to factor such transportation issues into every economic, political and community decision that they make, because “transportation affects every aspect of your lives.” SCCIT favors commercial air service at Paine

be played through all three days of the event. The festival is provided and organized by the Stillaguamish Tribe. Its mission is to help people who live in the Stillaguamish watershed and surrounding regions understand how their actions can help make their environment cleaner for people, fish and wildlife. To honor the area, festival organizers will also have watershed education exhibits, fly casting and tying instruction and interpretive river and forest walks. While the event itself is free, attendees can sign up for the Stilly Fun Run, which kicks off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, after an 8:30 a.m. check-in and registration. The cost for the run will be $15 for adults and $10 for those under 18. Organizers will hold a tribal salmon bake over alder coals, and a number of children’s activities and entertainment will also be available during the festival. The musical acts are set to include Dave Mason, Dr. John, LeRoy Bell & His Only Friends, Buffy Sainte-Marie,

Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, Los Lonely Boys, Jana Kramer, Brett Eldredge and Lee Brice. The music starts at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 11 and 12, and runs until 11:30 p.m. on Saturday and 10 p.m. on Sunday. On Friday, Aug. 10, it kicks off at around 1:30 p.m. and runs until 10:30 p.m. All musical performances are free to view, but there is a $5 per car daily parking fee. Seating is first come, first served on the lawn and

traffic can back up on the two-lane highway, so festival organizers advise attendees to arrive early. You may bring your own chairs, as well as your own food and drink, except for alcohol. Dogs must be leashed and their owners must bring bags to dispose of their waste. River Meadows County Park is located at 20416 Jordan Rd. in Arlington.

Mayor speaks out about odor study

n July 24, officials from the city of Marysville Guest and Tulalip Tribes joined about 100 residents in attending a Opinion community meeting hosted by the Jon NehrinG Puget Sound Clean Air Agency Marysville (PSCAA). Mayor The purpose of the meeting, for which the community was given less than a week’s notice, was for agency officials to provide an overview of an odor monitoring study that would use odor-sensing devices to collect real-time data over the next two years. It would start at the end of 2012. The city of Marysville is open to an independent scientific study, if it can be shown that it will result in enforcement that leads to a solution to the terrible odor that thousands of citizens in Marysville, Tulalip and North Everett have dealt with over the past five years, and remain fully convinced that the Cedar Grove Composting facility on Smith Island is responsible. This is not that study. As you will read in remarks made by myself and City Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima at the meeting, and excerpted below, the study being proposed by PSCAA is flawed on many levels, as was the process for choosing a vendor. We are providing this information to keep you informed on this important local issue. Mayor Nehring’s remarks: This community has put up with this odor for five years. We’re tired of the delay tactics, we’re tired of the endless studies, the government games. It’s time for a solution. For the last two years, we’ve worked in partnership with the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, and your representatives have come here and told this community — and we’ve backed you 100 percent — “call us, call us, call us, this is how we’re going to get the enforcement and solve the problem.” We’ve educated our citizens to do just that. This is a solution, we were told. We’ll have to wait a couple years for PSCAA to gather the data. The public was diligent, you were diligent. You got citations levied against Cedar Grove Composting and its operations, and defended the citations successfully before the Puget Sound Pollution Control Hearings Board, and then you gave it away in a settlement where Cedar Grove gets to pick their own odor monitoring firm that is already a vendor of theirs that they pay $200,000 for odor monitoring. There is no enforcement mechanism. You mentioned you came to the City earlier about the odor monitoring study. We offered you a counter-proposal that See STUDY, PAGE 5 The Marysville

Preparing for back to school

ack to school is a magical time of year. Weeks of repetitive summer idleness beg for something new and exciting, a chance to explore the new and unknown. There is something energizing about a new journey with all of its’ unforeseen twists and turns. There will be new friends to make, old friendships to renew, and new challenges never before considered; a chance to grow as a person and as a citizen of a larger society. Teachers have spent the summer recharging their batteries and taking additional coursework that will help them create better learning opportunities for all kids. Elementary teachers will love, guide, care for and instruct anywhere from 25 to 32 students per day. Secondary teachers will

Guest Opinion Pete Lundberg be responsible for doing the same thing for upwards to 160 students per day. If you wonder why anyone would do this, just think of your favorite teacher, what they gave to you, and you’ll have the answer. It is a labor of love. The Marysville School District administration has spent the summer preparing for the year to come. Guided by a very specific mission from the school board, “every stu-

dent … 100 percent … proficient in literacy and math, graduating on time, and prepared for success in college, career and responsible citizenship,” the district has sent groups of administrators and teachers to gain knowledge and techniques to make this happen. There is no sense of complacency, nor can we be satisfied with past successes, when the goal is to prepare everyone. The school board wants to partner with parents and teachers, administration and staff to make the 2012-2013 school year the best ever. You will see us in your children’s schools, and in the community, listening to find avenues for improvement. Our commitment is See SCHOOL , PAGE 5

Athletics in Arlington School District

ith the turn of the calendar to the month of August it means it’s time to start thinking about the beginning of school and, here in the athletic department, preparing for another year of Eagle sports. Why Athletics? Our purpose in the athletic department is to assist our student athletes to reach their full potential as students, athletes and citizens. The field or court is an extension of the classroom where we can teach the core values of hard work, discipline and integrity through competition. We are in the business of helping to change boys and girls into young men and women who will contribute in a positive way to our community as responsible and respectable citizens.

Guest Opinion Tom Roys Last year Arlington High School had over 700 students participate in the 16 varsity sports and sub varsity categories. Our athletes work hard to be competitive, yet strive to set high standards in sportsmanship. The fans at AHS are also expected to exhibit the highest levels of sportsmanship. The Wesco Conference has adopted our motto, “Be Loud, Be Proud, and Be Positive,” and a banner with these

words now hangs in every gym in our league. Our Facilities The facilities at Arlington High School are fantastic. Indoor we have a main gym, auxiliary gym, and a wrestling room. Having two gyms allows the entire boys or girls program to practice at the same time. Varsity and junior varsity teams practice together in the main gym, while the freshman hold practice in the auxiliary gym. Boys and girls alternate early and late practice times throughout the season. Wrestling has their own practice space and both the boys and girls teams share the facility. We have a great weight room that is utilized daily by PE classes, athletics and See ATHLETICS, PAGE 5

Citizenship is best learned by doing

he term “public education” can be understood in a couple of different ways. One common meaning is related to its funding source. Public education is education that is publicly funded, as in our public schools and other publicly financed educational programs. Another meaning of public education, however, is related to its primary purpose. In this view, public education refers to our intentional efforts to create a public — that is, a body of citizens who have the inclination and the capacity to participate in the ongoing and responsible practice of self-government. This broader understanding of public education encompasses the work done by our public schools, but extends far beyond them to include the institutions and political, economic, and social structures of the larger community. This kind of public education — citizenship education — is a com-

Our outdoor facilities are equally as nice with eight beautiful tennis courts, two softball fields, two baseball fields and a wonderful stadium that hosts football, soccer and track. There is nothing better on a warm spring day, than being able to walk down Alumni Drive and watch over 300 athletes compete on our own campus facilities. What We Offer In the fall, AHS offers Football, Boys Tennis, Boys and Girls Cross Country, Girls Soccer and Volleyball. During the winter, options include Boys and Girls Basketball and Wrestling. The spring is the busiest time with offerings of Baseball, Softball, Boys and Girls Golf, Boys Soccer, Girls Tennis and Track and Field. Academic Requirements Academically our student athletes are required to be passing all of their classes in order to participate in extracurricular activities. We believe our student athletes should be just that: Students first and athletes next. Clearance Procedures

In other words, the best way to become a true citizen is in the actual practice of citizenship. Citizenship is its own education. And to make this education possible, it is our job as a community to ensure that real opportunities for citizen participation are widely and continuously available, known to the community, and actively supported. So what does the practice of citizenship look like? I like to think of citizenship as simply doing my part to make my community work. And in a democracy, that means partici-

pating at some level in the practice of self-government. Voting, yes, but much more than that. Democracy can be understood as a continuous process of mutual transformation. It is a respectful “give and take” that results in beneficial growth to all those involved. And this process is driven by, more than anything else, ongoing and thoughtful dialogue. Yes, the foundation of democracy is the very human act of just talking with each other. It is through this never-ending public conversation that we come to understand each other, grapple with new ideas, enlarge our thinking, and ultimately solve problems and make decisions together. This kind of citizenship is the most transformative kind of education there is. You cannot emerge unchanged because continuous and responsible change is the name of the game. But this kind of public education — citizenship education — doesn’t just happen all by itself.

We have to intentionally create the forums for it to flourish. Here are a few suggestions to get us started. We could begin by: 1) Creating more opportunities for nonpartisan dialogue around issues that are important to us (this could include regular citizens’ forums and neighborhood assemblies). 2) Finding ways to integrate the practice of citizenship more seamlessly into our daily lives, even at the workplace (this could include an increase in workplace democracy and giving employees paid time off for participation in citizenship activities). 3) Raising expectations for citizenship by empowering citizen groups with real decision-making authority and promoting a culture of ownership. 4) Exploring new ways to increase participatory citizenship in our schools (this could include more participatory modes of school governance, regular civic

action involving school-community partnerships, and making citizenship a primary measure of student success). Citizenship, like democracy, is a way of living that stretches us to grow and brings out the best we can be. It is the common arena in which we define ourselves both as individuals and in terms of our relationships with others. Citizenship is how we hammer out a vision for community that works for us all — today. But what works today may not work tomorrow, so this process can never stop. I want to live in a world where growth never stops, where learning never stops, where the human conversation never stops. And to me, that’s what public education is all about.

STUDY FROM PAGE 4 included enforcement and solutions. You discarded it in a matter of days and went forward. It says in your own PSCAA Board of Directors minutes that you went forward against the suggestions of the Marysville and Tulalip communities. Obviously it wasn’t that important to you to find out what our solutions were. This is the problem with this study. We cannot support a study by a biased third party (Odotech). Odotech is already a vendor being paid by Cedar Grove. In minutes from the June 14 PSCAA Board meeting, a representative (from Odotech) already insinuated that they think the smell might be coming from the Marysville Wastewater Treatment Plant. (The Marysville, Tulalip and North Everett communities) know the smell we’re talking about. We drive by it on I-5 every day and on SR 529. It’s a distinct smell that everybody knows, and people are tired. We don’t need another data-gathering study. What we need is a solution and enforcement. We need somebody to step up and care and stand up for the average citizen, and not bury ourselves in another delaying tactic, and that’s why Marysville is opposed to this, because we don’t have an unbiased firm — we have a very biased one in our opinion, and I’ve cited examples of why. So we’re going to sit here for two more years and collect data that we don’t trust. What’s the solution after that? I don’t see any enforcement in this. Chief Administrative Officer’s remarks (condensed): Having participated in some of the discussions for this odor monitoring study, I have to say that with 22 years in public service, this process and your agency’s participation in it, as well as other agencies, has been the most disappointing public process I have ever seen in my years of public service … We sat down with agencies after reviewing the records for the RFP (Request for Proposals) process for this odor contract. The process was so rigged, it was so flawed ... and pre-determined to select Cedar Grove’s vendor that we got a commitment from your staff that you would not go forward with the study because you thought our concerns were valid.

MPD arrests burglary suspects

MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; On Friday, July 27, at approximately 10:44 a.m., a citizen called 911 to report that two subjects were unlawfully inside of a residence located in the 7200 block of 74th Street NE. The caller also noted that an additional man appeared to be waiting outside the residence in a white vehicle. All three suspects were believed to be connected with a burglary in progress at that residence. A responding police officer noted a white vehicle leaving the area of the burglary-in-progress call, traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was stopped using emergency equipment and three men were found in the vehicle. While those suspects were being taken into custody, another citizen

reported that the suspects had thrown objects out of the vehicle in the area of 67th Avenue and Grove Street. The objects were later identified as the homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stolen property, along with some type of disguise and gloves. All three suspects who were arrested are men who are all believed to be from California. They include a 22-year-old Hispanic, and two African-Americans aged 44 and 25 years. According to Marysville Police Lt. Jeff Goldman, it appears that all of the stolen property from the burglary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose approximate value adds up to $500 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was recovered, and all three suspects were booked into the Snohomish County Jail for residential burglary, possession of stolen property and malicious mischief.

Marysville Liquor opens BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; When the state of Washington got out of the liquor business on May 31, Marysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edward Chea and his family saw an opportunity to fill a gap in the local market while maintaining the store thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a fixture of the Allen Creek Shopping Center in town.

While the three members of the Chea family employed at the store have overseen some slight remodeling of the facilities, those who frequented the establishment back when it was a state-run store can still expect to see a couple of familiar faces, since the previous staff members have been retained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made it as far as we have without them,â&#x20AC;? said Edward Chea, owner and operator of Marysville Liquor, Wine & Beer at Allen Creek. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing a little bit each day, as the community gets to know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still here.â&#x20AC;?

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciated being able to keep a part-time job thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to home and run by a local family, and her approach to customer service likewise relies on a more personal touch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always greet the customers when they come in, and our goal is always to

ARLINGTON — A dozen young people from ages 9-12 years are invited to take a multi-class drama course courtesy of city of Arlington and the Blue Stilly Players. Topics such as movement, voice, character development and ensemble work will be included, and students will learn and train together during the month of August. Using their freshly honed skills, the students will then take to the stage on Saturday, Sept. 1, as part of the Arlington Farmers Market at 1 p.m. The drama course’s instructors are highly trained actors and teachers who have studied in venues including New York, Seattle and France to develop their craft. The instructors have designed an original script based on “Aesop’s Fables,” which will afford every student an opportunity to take to the stage in a starring role. A total of seven classes and the performance day are included in the $10-perstudent fee, but scholarships are available. All classes will take place at the Boys & Girls Club of Arlington.

Arlington Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Lopez puts together one of the city’s new weekly e-newsletters.

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington has recently begun to find new methods for communicating with city residents, including more of a digital and social media presence. “The big thing is that we are doing a lot more on our website and with social media,” said Kristin Banfield, assistant city administrator. “We have a Facebook page and a Twitter account, which has been very useful for emergency situations.” Banfield described a situation when a vehicle collision on 172nd Street caused severe traffic delays. “It was really easy to put it on Facebook and Tweet it. A lot of people were saying, ‘Thank you for warning us,’” she said. “We follow the [Washington State Department of Transportation] on Twitter and they follow us, so we

can get traffic information that way.” The transition to an online and social media form of communications is in some ways affected by the economy, said Banfield. “In the era of tight, tight, tight budgets we weren’t able to do a print newsletter like we used to,” she said. “We were only able to do three per year, so we asked, ‘How do we communicate with residents and business owners?’” The city launched their social media profiles in January and began a weekly e-newsletter in April. The e-newsletter, built by Parks and Recreation Director Sarah Lopez, goes out every Friday and contains pertinent information that local residents might need. “Everyone communicates differently,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert. “It’s in everyone’s best interest and my best interest to have

ARLINGTON — The Sno-Isle Libraries are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and as part of the celebration, the Arlington Library is collecting stories and other items for a time capsule that will be sealed at its open house event in October. “The year was 1962,” said Kathy Bullene, managing librarian of the Arlington Library. “John F. Kennedy was president, a gallon of gas cost 31 cents and the country’s best-selling novel was ‘Ship of Fools’ by Katherine Anne Porter. The Arlington Library had opened just the year before, in 1961, and joined together with 11 other libraries to form the Snohomish County Rural Library District. In its first year, people borrowed more than 900,000 books, records and films from the new library system. Fifty years later, the Sno-Isle Libraries have grown to 21 branches, providing programs and services, and lending 9.5

Skate Camp helps beginning boarders

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Logan Brannam completes a jump during the Marysville Parks and Recreation Ultimate Skate Camp.

MARYSVILLE — Learning to skateboard can be tough at first, but thanks to a Marysville Parks and Recreation Department Ultimate Skate Camp, several boys have gotten a safe start to the sport. The Ultimate Skate Camp was one of this summer’s final ultimate sports camps, and with the Marysville Skate Park all to themselves, campers took advantage of the time they spent with veteran skateboarders and coaches, Brandi Powell and Jessie Murphy. “When I was 18, a family friend was 7 and he was teaching me all the tricks he learned,” said Powell, who works as a training director at Stevens Pass. Murphy is also a training director, at Snoqualmie Pass. “[Marysville] was looking for new coaches and

Jessi and I were like, ‘We can come do it’” said Powell. The camp, which is in its second year in Marysville, offered four days of training in a variety of skate skills and tricks. “On Monday, we looked at everyone’s skill level and then did some basics, individual coaching, ollies, and learning to roll down the ramp,” said Powell. “On Tuesday, we learned turning, carving, kick turns and tic-tacks. In the grass we learned kick tricks.” At the end of each day, Powell and Murphy set up a slalom course with cones and each child participates in the race, attempting to beat their own personal record from the previous day. The skateboarders also filled out diagrams detailing the parts of a skateboard and were tested later in the week on what they learned. On the last day of the camp, a

demonstration was held where each camper was able to show the rest of the kids and their coaches everything they learned — from kick tricks to jumps and everything in between. “It’s cool they get to learn in this environment,” said Andrea Kingsford, of the Parks and Recreation Department. “It’s not just trial by fire. I’m hoping as it builds we can even do camps for different ability levels.” “I gained more confidence in going down ramps,” said camper Jadon Brannam, who hoped to learn more flip tricks. “I’ll probably skateboard for a long time.” Powell and Murphy are open to coming back and coaching the camp next summer. “It’s been a lot of fun, I’d love to come back,” said Powell. For more information on summer sports camps, call Marysville Parks and Recreation at 360-363-8400.

SnoCo Express wins regional championships BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A group of local softball players could have made it to the World Series this year after finishing with a record of 62-2 — if only they’d been a little bit older. The SnoCo Express is a 10u softball team made up of players from Arlington, Marysville and other north Snohomish County areas, with one thing in common — the drive to win. “These girls work yearround, two to three times a week, out of our indoor facility in Arlington,” said coach Mike Millar. “They work extremely hard trying to master hitting, pitching, defense and all the little things that make them a great team.” The team won every 10u tournament they entered, as well as one 12u tournament. On July 1, the team beat the Northwest Lady Sharks 9-4 to win the National Softball Association State Championship. “I got the winning hit at the NSA State Tournament,”

said Sydney Zachry. “I felt so good because all my teammates ran up to me and jumped on me and cheered.” Less than a week later they were at it again, beating the WA Speed 1-0 in the final game of the Amateur Softball Association State Championship on July 8. “They were really good competition,” said Kassidy Millar, about the WA Speed. “We lost to them in the first game and we thought, ‘We have to beat them.’ After that game, we went back and practiced because we knew we could do it. We kept our heads up.” “We never give up,” said Lily Fischer. “Their pitcher was really fast. We went back into the game knowing that we had to beat them and we did.” SnoCo Express made it to the ASA Northwest Regional Championship on July 22, and won the title in a final game against the WA Kaos, posting a 4-3 victory. The team moves up to play 12u next season, which comes with a larger ball and some field changes, but they aren’t sweating it. “I’m

looking forward to it,” said Fischer. “I’m a little nervous, but we took second place in the last 12u tournament we played, so it’s going pretty good.” Mike Millar credits their success to the girls’ determination. “They take great pride in themselves and their team,” he said. “They are a very close knit group, best friends on and off the field. The team spends countless hours together, from practices, to traveling and hotel stays, to just hanging out together on rare weekends off. They are also great assets to their community.” In addition to their success on the field, the team also works to support their local community. “SnoCo Express prides itself on raising excellent, strong young ladies off the field too. They do community service projects together during the offseason. Working a day at the pumpkin patch for the Pumpkins for Literacy charity, while also holding a local food drive going door-todoor collecting food for the local food bank during the

holiday season,” said Millar. “I could talk for hours about these young ladies. We are so very proud of them. They are truly amazing.” Despite the accolades they’ve received, the players were sure to thank their parents and coaches for support-

ing them, including Millar, coach Crystelle Fischer, coach Brandon Zachry and coach Aaron Zachry, who is also the head coach of Marysville-Pilchuck High School’s fastpitch team. “My coaches are the best,” said Elise Allen. “They work

us really hard but it doesn’t seem like work because they make it fun. They make games out of it.” “I just really want to thank our coaches,” said Kassidy Millar. “If we didn’t have our coaches, we wouldn’t have won.”

The program began in May 2010 and has saved a total of 2,223 kittens and 426 puppies. N.O.A.H. partners with other animal shelters across the state to take in adoptable animals that are overflow in other shelters. “A lot of these shelters don’t have foster programs,” said Kurtz. “Thousands of animals were being euthanized simply because they were underage.” Kurtz emphasized that those shelters did not have the resources to bring the animals to full health, which sometimes requires bottle-feeding orphaned infants. “When we started the program we called all of our partner shelters to let them know what we were doing,” said Kurtz. “Now they call us.” When a shelter calls to say that they have animals who need foster homes, N.O.A.H. reaches out to their foster families to find a home before agreeing to take in the litter. “N.O.A.H. will work with what you have,” said Brugger. “They provide food and you just provide your time.” Anyone can foster, from one kitten at a time, to multiple litters of dogs and puppies. Arlington’s Deb Quinn is a puppy foster mom, and after housing litters of puppies in her laundry room, her husband Bruce had a puppy fostering facility built on their property. The building, which has the look of a bright yellow mother-in-law house, is complete with dog-related artwork on the walls and classical music playing softly to calm the puppies. A bed with a warming pad

keeps the litters comfortable, while a doggie door leading to a covered and fenced outdoor space helps to potty train. She is currently fostering two mother dachshunds and two litters of puppies. She has fostered roughly 100 animals. “It’s hard to give them up, but you know they are going somewhere good and you saved their lives,” said Quinn. “It’s the best.” Quinn and her husband are retired and self-proclaimed homebodies. “This is kind of our thing to do in the country of Arlington — save puppies.” Quinn was most moved by a rescued litter of malamutes and their mother, who she called Mama, which were seized from the home of an animal hoarder. “He had 27 malamutes in a 1,000-squarefoot space,” she said, visibly upset. “The filth was unbelievable.” But she spoke Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo with fondness of Mama, who was later Deb Quinn cuddles a dachshund named named June. “I had her from the day she gave birth and I spent a lot of Harriet, one of her many foster puppies, time with her, giving her sponge baths. at her home in Arlington.

Nehring names winners of ‘Pride of Marysville’

MARYSVILLE — Homeowners with a wellkept house and yard, a stalwart real estate business that shines with curb appeal, and a trendsetting office building in the downtown district were recently honored by Marysville’s Mayor and City Council, as recipients of the first-ever “Pride of Marysville” neighborhood improvement awards. The city of Marysville invited the public to nominate their favorite homes and businesses around town starting in March, and the nominees were judged on visual enhancement, preservation of the character of their neighborhoods, and improvements to buildings and landscaping, according to city officials, who received 20 nominations. “We didn’t have to look far to find ‘role model’ homes and businesses that embody the ‘Pride of Marysville’ award program’s goals,” said Mayor Jon Nehring, who initiated the new award program. “These recipients’ efforts reflect well on our community, enhancing Marysville’s appearance, and hopefully will inspire others to do the same.” Reviewing the nominations was a selection committee whose members included Nehring, City Council member Michael Stevens, city Parks Director Jim Ballew, Public Information Officer Doug Buell and citizen at-large Cheryl Deckard. This year’s winners were: • Jan and Zed Long for

“Best Home/Pride of the Neighborhood,” awarded to a home that is consistently well-kept, with manicured lawns and colorful landscapes, or enhanced with new paint, landscaping or other significant aesthetic improvements. According to the committee, the Long home on Ninth Street near Totem Middle School incorporates all of these assets. • Windermere Real Estate for “Best Business,” awarded to the business site conveying the most curb appeal, through attractive landscaping and building exteriors, and an overall well-kept appearance. • The Jong Kwak office building, at Third Street and State Avenue, for the “Mayor’s Choice” James Comeford Award, which is named after Marysville’s visionary town founder and original trading post operator, and is presented to the most-improved home or business in the downtown or waterfront district. According to Nehring, the traits that helped the Longs’ house stand out were that the look they adopted, the renovations and improvements they made with the addition of landscaping, covered porches and an outdoor seating area, and the upkeep they continue to this day, all of which Nehring believes are within reach for many other homeowners in the community. “This could be any home on any street around Marysville,” Nehring said. “The Longs raised the bar

in their neighborhood.” Nehring applauded Windermere Real Estate at Eighth Street and State Avenue, after they garnered the “Best Business” honors for 2012. “What you see with Windermere’s building is probably the best example of curb appeal throughout the entire State Avenue corridor,” Nehring said. “The architecture is beautiful, the paint color choices work very well, and above all, the landscaping is very Northwest and creative. As one nominator said, ‘It’s a feast for the eyes.’” The selection committee agreed. When the city completed the State Avenue road improvement and beautification project from First through Eighth streets nearly a decade ago, the design was intended to inspire businesses to spruce up their own frontage. “Windermere went over the top when they created a design and landscaping plan that blends perfectly with the State Avenue improvements,” Nehring said. “It’s hard to tell where ours begin and theirs end.” The final award for “Mayor’s Choice” was bestowed on Jong Kwak, with Edmonds-based Kwakson LLC in Edmonds, for his office building at the corner of Third Street and

State Avenue, across from Hilton Pharmacy. “Mr. Kwak took an aging building in the city’s downtown district and made it a trendsetter for other businesses to follow,” Nehring said. Kwak’s building was the first to apply the city’s revised downtown design standards. According to Nehring, the building’s exceptional use of stonework façade, and of browns and dark reds, is a welcome addition to one of the city’s key intersections downtown. “I believe, and the committee believed, that for all the focus we are putting on downtown revitalization, and on encouraging downtown residents and businesses to maintain more attractive exteriors and frontage, we can’t think of a better recipient for this award,” said Nehring, who also asserted that Kwak should commended for stepping up and taking on such a major building facelift during tough economic times. The James Comeford Award is named after the original town founder who, even back in the 1800s, was talking about the need for waterfront and downtown development. This award goes to an improved downtown or waterfront property, whether a home or

The area is generally defined as from the waterfront north to Ninth Street, and from I-5 and Ash Avenue east to Alder Avenue. Winners were presented with individual wall plaques, and will also receive decorative yard markers to affix in their yards or landscaping, or on their buildings, to share their accolades with passing pedestrians and motorists. Nehring explained that a general lack of cleanliness around the community and downtown is a concern that

has been raised at community meetings, and at City Council and director retreats. City officials have resolved to launch more concerted cost-efficient cleanup efforts in the downtown and waterfront area, such as road re-striping, painting and roadside rightof-way maintenance, and Nehring cited this spring’s “Clean Sweep Week” as but one example of those efforts. “The ‘Pride of Marysville’ awards are viewed as one solution toward creating a cleaner, more attractive community,” Nehring said.

Please come visit this sweet pair and take them home today!

Name: Pumba Animal ID: 16845171 Breed: Beagle Age: 9 Years Gender: Male Color: Black/Tan/White Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Pumba is a sweet guy who needs a family with another dog, as he gets very anxious and barks when left alone. When his Chihuahua canine companion passed away, he became very sad. Pumba thinks he is a lap dog. He is very gentle, loves car rides, loves toys, especially loves peanut butter! He needs a family that will give him the attention he craves, and the time to just hang out with his people, whether it be going on errands or playing in the yard.

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