Historical Society breaks ground for museum BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Historical Society’s long-awaited museum came a significant step closer to completion on Saturday, Aug. 25, as MHS members, city of Marysville officials and representatives of local service clubs joined in breaking ground at the site adjacent to the Jennings Park Barn area. MHS President Ken Cage reflected on how a museum to preserve and display Marysville’s history has been one of the Historical Society’s goals since its founding in 1974. In 1986, the Society purchased a plot of land off Armar Road as the future site

for such a museum, after which a $3 million capital campaign was launched in 2006. “We’ve had starts and stops along the way, but the energy expended by our citizens has been getting us there,” Cage said. “It’s the culmination of a long dream, and we’re deeply indebted to a large group of people, including Valda and Gary Bloom for starting this whole thing off.” Cage noted that Scott Kirkland’s preliminary architectural designs had to be scaled back in the wake of the economic Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo downturn in 2008, but added that the museum would retain From left, Morrie Sachsenmaier, Gerry Rasmussen, Ken and Ethel Cage, Marie Nelson and Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring break ground on the Marysville Historical Society museum site on Aug. 25.

MARYSVILLE — Jacqueline Rojas first became certified as a school bus driver in 2005, and after some years away, the down economy has seen her brushing back up on her skills in time for the 2012-13 school year at the Marysville School District. “I live in Marysville and my daughter attends school here, so it’s nice to have the same days off as her,” said Rojas on the morning of Friday, Aug. 24, as Traci Tobler, training development specialist for the Marysville School District Transportation Department, put Rojas through her paces during a bus inspection and practice drive. “Safety always comes first when I’m driving. This is a huge vehicle and it doesn’t stop on a dime.” “Our drivers have to be prepared for ‘predictable unpredictable’ behavior from other motorists and pedestrians,” Tobler said. “You know people are going to cut you off or run red lights, so you learn to expect it. There’s a perception that bus drivers can stop more quickly than they can, and that’s because

Everett Clinic opens in Smokey Point

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Everett Clinic’s new 60,000-square-foot facility at Smokey Point drew crowds on Saturday, Aug. 25, to check out its architecture and amenities, as well as to meet with many of its staff members as they guided groups through tours of the two-story building. Kathy Schram, a nurse at the walk-in clinic, expressed pride in the services that she and her coworkers will have to offer starting Tuesday, Sept. 4. “It’s a one-stop shop here,” Schram said of the treatment rooms. “You don’t have to leave this room for anything except for X-rays, which are right next door. When you check in, you can even get your documents printed out right in the patient rooms.” The walk-in clinic’s treatment rooms feature glass doors that connect directly to the nurses’ station, so that those patients can be monitored as closely as possible. At the same time, patients have access to their own assigned lockers so that they can change in and out of their clothes without having to walk long distances in dressing gowns. Schram and Dr. Jared Anderson, the sports medicine and family practice doctor on site, agreed that one of the Smokey Point clinic’s most convenient features is its grouping of related treatment areas within the building. “A lot of research was

done on the room process and how it could decrease wait-times for patients,” said Anderson, who moved to the Everett area from Ohio near the start of the year. “From start to finish, it’s streamlined and centralizes the collaborative specialties. Say that a patient wants to talk to orthopedics or discuss a musculoskeletal injury after coming to see me. Well, they’re all right there.” “Orthopedics and sports medicine are in the same pod, with the casting room right across the hall,” Schram said. “At the same time, physical therapy has its own examination room, and the X-ray machine on the second floor is portable, so that it can go into the rooms of the patients that can’t leave their treatment rooms.” In addition to placing physical therapy in close proximity to Anderson’s fields, Schram explained that each “pod” of like fields has been assigned its own number and soothing color, with separate hallways between them for patients and staff, so that neither feel crowded by the other. “All the lighting is energyefficient, and there are security cameras in all the pod areas to see the patients,” said Schram, who also touted the Smokey Point clinic’s 24/7 security staff presence. “It’s designed to feel more modern and less like a doctor’s office.” While pods specializing in areas such as cardiovas-

cular include their own alcoves for blood draws and lab work, all of the computer systems within the Smokey Point clinic can bring up the X-rays and other records of any patient. “We’ve even got an opthamologist that does eye exams on site, plus a Starbucks kiosk where you can swipe your card,” Schram said. While several groups of visitors paraded through the building on guided tours, a number of others were already setting up patient appointments at the new Everett Clinic facility. Arlington’s Don Dubis laughed with receptionist Angie Sage as he explored the possibility of moving his appointments to the Smokey Point clinic, while Marysville’s Kelly Marshall entered information into the keypad of the clinic’s self-service kiosk. “The Everett Clinic in Smokey Point is about treating the whole you,” Anderson said. “We have all sorts of specialists under one roof, and we’ll dig deep to find the underlying causes of your aches and pains. For sports medicine, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to come see me, just someone who’s looking to get active and enjoy all the outdoor fun that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. I’m looking forward to getting involved with the high schools and helping kids to get healthy as well.” The Everett Clinic in Smokey Point is located at 2901 174th St. NE in

Marysville, near the northwest intersection of I-5 and 172nd Street at the Smokey Point interchange, just north of the Costco shopping center. Starting Sept. 4, its walk-in clinic will be open

Mondays through Fridays from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., without any appointments necessary. New or current patients of other Everett Clinic facili-

Learning about emissions

t seems unfathomable that there was a time when commercial composting did not exist. The end of the road for grass clippings and vegetable trimmings STEPHEN GROSE was once invariably a landfill. There, valuable organic materials were wasted in an airless tomb to remain unchanged for years while generating methane — one of the most potent greenhouse gases. Today, we have the technology to safely compost these valuable organics from our homes and businesses. This not only significantly reduces our carbon footprint, it also creates natural mulches that minimize water and chemical usage, prevent toxic run-off from reaching lakes and streams, and add nutrients to depleted urban soils. Despite this, we are sometimes asked by visitors and neighbors if there are reasons to be concerned about the emissions from the earthy piles that composting creates. Compost emissions are the result of the natural process of organic material breaking down in nature. Other emissions can come from compounds found in the material arriving at the plant. For instance, grass clippings may contain petroleum residues from lawn mowers or garden trimmings that may still retain residual amounts of herbicides and fungicides. Be assured that responsible composters employ technologies that capture a majority of those emissions during processing. Cedar Grove’s covered composting system is highly efficient in volatile organic compound (VOC) control and superior to fully enclosed systems that discharge emissions through biofilters. To compare, a large biosolids composting facility in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., that processes its material in large buildings and vents air through biofilters is 94.6 percent effective in removing VOC’s. Cedar Grove’s covered composting process removes 96.5 percent. Recent tests conducted by the Department of Ecology at two Washington composting facilities found the presence of some chemical compounds in the part per billion range, measuring far below threshold levels that constitute a health concern by Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) standards. In addition, measurements were taken six inches above the feed stocks. The natural dispersion of these compounds beyond six inches dilutes them to a point that they pose no threat to workers or any person at or beyond the property lines. This also corroborates studies across North America and Europe that conclude the absence of evidence constituting a health concern from controlled commercial composting operations. While composting poses no health threats, some have voiced concern about odor emissions. In response to these concerns, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is initiating an independent scientific study to identify major odor generators in the area. This is in addition to a recent WDOE study which concluded that there exists no relationship between odors and the presence of compounds that are harmful to human health. In the coming months, residents of Snohomish County and particularly of the Marysville/North Everett area will have an opportunity to learn more about emissions from composting operations. This will be valuable information as regional demand continues to grow for organics recycling that will likely result in an increase in the number of large scale composters in the county and surrounding areas.

Politics, naughty and nice

y wife is collecting political flyers leading up to the general election. About the time their authors run out of money or half-truths to throw at each other we’ll see if we can fit the whole lot into our blue Waste Management recycling bin. Then there are the phone polls. “Mister Graff?” “No, that’s Graef.” “Oh, excuse me. I’d like to take only two minutes of your time to ask a few important questions.” “Is this a political poll?” “Yes sir.” “Goodbye.” Interesting that politicians exempted this stuff from no-call legislation. There should be a thermometer I could insert into our collection of political mail to measure the heat of its rhetoric. Can it be that they’re telling the truth, that their opposite numbers are all unprincipled donothings? Speaking of heat, some good might come of this if power generating plants were fueled with political mailers and litter-on-a-stick roadside signs. The Democratic Party I grew up with stood for fairness, equal opportunity and a level playing field. If it had a fault, it would be too much attention on society’s wants, rather than needs. Back then, parents put education funds for kids above downpayments on motor homes. They’d have thought it extravagant to visit a doctor for minor complaints. And by the way, Democrats of that day strongly supported business legislation to assure financing for social programs. The Republican Party of my youth focused on ideas, energy and resources as necessary for empowering this great nation. And by the way, Republicans fostered programs that would put spending money in the pockets of middle and low income shoppers and provide safety-nets should some of those middle or low income folks suffer reverses. And by the way, today’s GOP has tossed many of those good intentions — by the way. Republican back-room

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

mantras tout success for the successful, strength for the strong, and depletion of natural resources for shortterm profits. If business is good, then big business is better and monopolistic mega-business is best. They throw hissy-fits when things like minimum wage laws, EPA watchdogs or financial regulations get in the way. That’s not to say Republicanism is all bad. I was a Republican until something as weird as a B-movie alien takeover caused me to defect. The party’s heart was overrun by nutcase radicals who remain willfully blind to how their unfettered excesses gut America’s domestic and global hopes. If this seems a cheap shot, read on to see how far the New GOP’s predators wander from their party’s responsible roots. The “aliens” are in cahoots with two viral corruptions of congressional ethics: (1) Skewed votes as Big Money picks up the tab for campaigning and (2) lobbyists doling out cushy retirement jobs to exoffice-holders. Both need fixing. It is bad enough that Congress lacks the will to fix them. It is damning when Congress demonstrates a will to perpetuate them. What follows are excerpts from the 1956 Republican platform. Each would draw boos and hisses at this year’s Republican Convention. We shall ever build anew, that our children and their children, without distinction because of race, creed or color, may know the blessings of our free land. We believe that basic to governmental integrity are unimpeachable ethical standards and irreproachable personal conduct by all people in government. We shall continue our insistence on honesty as an indispensable requirement of public service. We shall continue to root out

corruption whenever and wherever it appears. We are proud of and shall continue our far reaching and sound advances in matters of basic human needs: expansion of social security, broadened coverage in unemployment insurance, improved housing and remain warmly responsive to the urgent social and economic problems of health protection for all our people. We hold that the major world issue today is whether government shall be the servant or the master of men. We hold that the Bill of Rights is the sacred foundation of personal liberty. That men are created equal needs no affirmation, but they must have equality of opportunity and protection of their civil rights under the law. Further reductions in taxes with particular consideration for low and middle income families. The Republican Party has as a primary concern for the continued advancement of the well-being of the individual. This can be attained only in an economy that, as today, is sound, free and creative, ever building new wealth and new jobs for all the people. Legislation to enable closer federal scrutiny of mergers which have a significant or potential monopolistic connotation. Procedural changes in the antitrust laws to facilitate their enforcement. Continuance of the vigorous SEC policies which are providing maximum protection to the investor and maximum opportunity for the financing of small business without costly red tape. Continue and further perfect its programs of assistance to the millions of workers with special employment problems, such as older workers, handicapped workers, members of minority groups, and migratory workers. When Republicans sound like Democrats (or visa versa), that sounds pretty good to me. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

to that point, children need to be immunized against those three diseases through the DTaP vaccine, with the first three shots being administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age, the fourth shot between 15-18 months, and the fifth shot when the child enters school, between 4-6 years of age. While a number of clinics and locations offer sports physicals for students, Go recommended that families continue to take their children to the pediatricians who have treated them since they were younger. “Those pediatricians are more likely to know those children’s family histories and whether they suffer from any problems like heart conditions or allergies,” Go said.

ARLINGTON — With the start of the new school year coming up, the Cascade Valley Hospital’s Arlington Pediatrics Clinic is gearing up for immunizations, but with whooping cough still an ongoing problem throughout the state, especially in Arlington and Marysville, Dr. Rosana Go is encouraging everyone to make sure their immunizations are up-to-date, regardless of the time of year. “Everyone should be immunized against pertussis, especially adults who take care of children,” Go said. “I hope that enough people will heed the call for immunizations that we’ll see less of an epidemic. People used to be afraid of the side-effects of the vaccine, but it’s improved so much since then.” For all children, Go recommended a course of immunizations for the more standard ailments on a schedule of vaccinations within the first two years, and booster shots around kindergarten, between the ages of 4-6. “This is to prevent diseases like diphtheria, measles, mumps and chicken pox,” Go said. “Last year, we actually had a mild epidemic of measles, so parents need to be proactive. There are always mild side-effects, but they rarely become major issues.” Go recommends the next set of booster shots around the ages of 10-11, during which time children may be administered the Tdap vaccine, which protects against not only diphtheria and tetanus, but also pertussis.

Wound Care Center helps patients heal

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Cascade Valley Hospital’s Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center considers itself one of the best-kept secrets in Arlington, but it’s eager to lose that status. “We’ve been here 15 years this March,” said Michael Handley, program director for the Wound Care Center. “Our clinic manager and medical director have been residents of Arlington since day one. This sleepy little town has a program that’s won national awards and been named a top wound care center.” With only about a dozen staff members, the Wound Care Center has received seven such awards, including the Robert E. Warriner M.D. Center of Excellence Award in 2009, which Handley touted as evidence of its successful approach. “Back in 1998, Cascade Valley took a risk on the sort of program that historically lost hospitals lots of money,” Handley said. “They saw a local need that wasn’t being addressed.” Since then, Handley estimated that the Wound Care Center has treated between 4,000-5,000 wounds per year for the past several

years, for a total of approximately 52,000 wounds since the clinic opened. Handley identified diabetes as the leading cause of the wounds treated at the Care Center, and while older patients who suffer from diminished blood flow to their extremities are among the Center’s more frequent patients, Handley expressed concern about the increasingly high incidence of diabetes in younger people as well. “Hundreds of thousands of Snohomish County residents have diabetes,” Handley said. “It affects the blood flow, which affects the body’s healing, because oxygen and other nutrients aren’t circulating properly. We get patients who have suffered wounds for years, but we’re able to speed up their healing to a matter of months and days.” The Cascade Valley Hospital Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center is able to treat such chronic, otherwise nonhealing wounds through its hyperbaric oxygen treatments. “It’s the only therapy shown to actually regrow blood vessels,” Handley said. “It requires a commitment from the patients, though.” Nancy Roach, a medical

assistant who serves as the Center’s safety director and hyperbaric technician, elaborated that patients must be ready to receive between 30-40 such treatments on an outpatient basis, with each treatment lasting two hours. Patients recline in an enclosed hyperbaric chamber, in which air pressure is increased and they breathe 100 percent oxygen, to dissolve the oxygen in their bodies’ cells, tissues and fluids at up to 10 times the normal concentration. “We time out the treatments exactly and stay right by the patients’ side,” Roach said. “They can even listen to music, watch TV or bring their own DVDs and get comfortable.” In addition to diabetic leg and foot wounds, the Center’s hyperbaric oxygen treatments are used to help remedy chronic bone infections, failed skin grafts or flaps, radiation tissue injuries, necrotizing infections, gas gangrene, carbon monoxide poisoning, crush injuries and other slow or non-healing wounds. “We’ve seen a number of patients after they’ve received radiation treatments for cancer,” said Teri Burt, the Center’s clinical coordinator, who noted that the hyperbaric chamber is a

It’s not for everybody, though. Some patients prefer more conservative care. With some of them, such as heavy smokers, it’s because they’re not ready to make certain changes in their

lives.” At the same time, Burt recalled Wound Care Center patients who have been able to retain and heal limbs that other doctors had recommended should simply be amputated. “We welcome self-referrals, but we also encourage our patients to coordinate their care with their primary care providers,” Handley said.

The Cascade Valley Hospital Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center is located in Suite 210 at 875 Wesley St. in Arlington, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, as well as 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.

Health District warns against West Nile virus West Nile virus has not yet shown up in Snohomish County this year, according to the Snohomish Health District, but it was found recently in mosquito samples in Yakima and Franklin counties, and has caused 14 deaths and more than 1,100 illnesses reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention elsewhere in the nation this summer. Recent research indicates higher rates of West Nile infection in climates with high temperatures,

which explains the presence in eastern Washington. No virus has been found this year in western Washington.

Dates auctioned to raise money to benefit charity

ARLINGTON — More than 175 people attended the inaugural Forever Lust! Bachelor/ette Date Night Auction at the Gleneagle Golf Course in Arlington on Aug. 17 to benefit the nonprofit Queen, It’s a New Day. The event auctions bachelors and bachelorettes, along with date night packages, to the highest bidder. This year’s event raised $3,800 along with an additional $585 of general donations, which were presented to Queen, It’s a New Day on Aug. 20. “We had 16 bachelors and bachelorettes,” said Emily Peterson, event organizer. “The highest bid was $650 and went to Zak Kjolso. He’s the owner of the Old 99 Espresso.” Kjolso’s date night package included a whitewater rafting trip. In addition to the bachelors and bachelorettes who were auctioned with specific date night plans tailored to each person, men and women who were already in a relationship were able to bid on several different date night packages for themselves and their loved ones. The date night packages were auctioned in a ticketed silent auction, while bachelors and bachelorettes participated in a

live auction. Tickets for the VIP reception prior to the event offered hors d’oeuvres for those who purchased them, along with meet and greet opportunities with the bachelors and bachelorettes. “We ended up selling about 25 VIP seats,” said Peterson. “Including our volunteers, bachelors and bachelorettes, we had 175 people attend.” The funds raised by the event went immediately to support Queen, It’s a New Day, a nonprofit organization aimed at improving the lives of women in rough situations, including homelessness, domestic violence, crime and more. Each year, the organization puts on the Queen, It’s a New Day event, sometimes referred to as the “Queen’s Gala.” It is a two-day event where an entire hotel is completely booked for more than 100 women, who are brought in on a charter bus. When they step off of the bus the women are greeted by members of uniformed military and walk down a red carpet into the building. They are given makeovers and spa treatments as well as job training and new clothes for interviews. “All the money goes directly to that event, which itself costs around $75,000,” said Peterson.

“It was amazing how many people turned out. Our goal was $5,000 and we made more than $7,000 before expenses, with four less bachelors and bachelorettes than expected.” Emily Peterson Auction organizer “Another great thing about the auction was that we got another five to seven people who are planning to volunteer for the Queen, It’s a New Day event, which is a big help.” Once their annual event is complete, Queen, It’s a New Day does follow-up training and long-term assistance with women throughout the year. The Forever Lust! Bachelor/ette Date Night Auction was a success according to Peterson. “It was amazing how many people turned out,” she said. “Our goal was $5,000 and we made more than $7,000 before expenses,

with four less bachelors and bachelorettes than expected.” Peterson is hoping to make the event bi-annual, with one event taking place closer to Seattle or Bellevue. “People came from everywhere,” said Peterson. “It was just amazing.” The Queen, It’s a New Day event is scheduled for Nov. 12-13 this year at the Holiday Inn in Everett.

Airport gets grant for emergency generator

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Municipal Airport is one of 23 Washington airports to receive state Department of Transportation Airport Aid Grants to preserve those facilities and improve aviation safety. Of the nearly $1 million in such state grants recently awarded to 29 different airport projects, the Arlington Municipal Airport received $2,887.50 for the purchase and installation of an emergency generator. This marks the second round of WSDOT Airport Aid Grants issued during the 2011-13 biennium. These state grants, combined with

local matching contributions, enabled WSDOT’s Aviation Division to leverage about $32 million in federal grants for federally-funded airports. Of the state’s 137 publicuse airports, 66 are eligible for federal funds, while the remaining 71 rely solely on state and local funds. “It’s a strength of our grant program that we are able to use a relatively small amount of state dollars to leverage millions in federal funds,” said Tristan Atkins, WSDOT aviation director. “It allows us to make a bigger impact with limited resources.” The Arlington Municipal Airport’s emergency genera-

Rest in Peace Art.

tor purchase and installation also received $103,950 in federal funds, which Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield explained would operate all the lighting on the airport’s main northsouth runway in case of a power outage or emergency. “The generator is a large enough size that it will carry us into the future, should we opt to light the crosswind runway or the taxiways in the future,” Banfield said. “Without this grant funding, we would not be doing this project right now. We are very fortunate to receive these grants, and appreciate the efforts of the FAA and WSDOT Aviation to help out general aviation airports in these tough times.” Thirty-nine airports competed for grants during this round, requesting a total of about $4 million. WSDOT is typically able to fund about $1 million in Airport Aid Grants every year. The grant program is funded by a user fee of 11 cents per gallon of aviation fuel, along with aircraft registration fees. WSDOT plans to call for applications for the first round of 2013-15 biennium grants in March and April of next year. Awards for that round should be announced by July of 2013.

Christopher Alexander Marin November 12, 1989 — August 16, 2012

On August 16, 2012, my precious angel returned to heaven to peacefully rest in God’s loving arms. Christopher was 22 years young. He was born in Santa Barbara, CA but has lived in Marysville, WA since he was 2 years old. He went to Allen Creek Elementary, Cedarcrest Middle School and Marysville-Pilchuck High School Class of 2008 where he ran track and played football. He worked at Anthony’s Woodfire Grill and Tulalip Resort Casino. Chris was planning to return to school to study psychology or something in the medical field so that he could help others. Christopher was an artist and loved music of any kind. He had a thirst for knowledge and his interests included; science, history,

theology, philosophy, psychology and social work. He loved nature, the outdoors, camping, hiking, swimming, snowboarding and bike riding. He loved his Labrador Marley and his Beagle Shilo. Christopher touched so many people in his short life with his beautiful smile, warm laugh and caring heart. He will be missed by all his friends and family, but he will never be forgotten. Rest peacefully my darling son and know

that you were truly loved. He is survived by his mother and father Doreen and Juan, his siblings Steven, Andrew, Paola, Kevin and Joanna, his grandparents Kenita, Ronald and Henry, his aunts Jeannine, Rebecca and Valerie, and his cousins, Nicholas, Semone and Corey.

Marysville food bank collects school supplies BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville’s Marisa Khinir is a single parent to four children, with the oldest in middle school, two in grade school and one in special education due to autism. Like many parents throughout America, she’s been out of work for a while — nearly two years — and like many Marysvillearea parents, she’s already coming to the Marysville Community Food Bank to make sure her kids have meals. Since the annual Marysville Summer Jubilee to distribute free school supplies was cancelled this year, Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling decided to meet the needs of parents like Khinir at a place where they already receive aid, by collecting school supplies from the community to distribute to Food Bank clients with children. “We gave away 131 packets of school supplies on Tuesday,” Deierling said of the Food Bank’s first day of distribution on Aug. 21. “That just about cleared us out, so we’re hoping we can count on the community’s generosity to shore us up.” Deierling noted that 40

percent of the individuals served by the Marysville Community Food Bank are children, and added that more than 80 percent of students in some Marysville schools qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches. “Children are the largest group impacted by food insecurity,” said Deierling, whose volunteers have handed out school supplies to families with children that have been clients of the Food Bank between July 1 of last year to June 30 of this year. “Food is obviously more important than school supplies, so if these kids’ families can’t afford to buy them enough food, they’re definitely not going to be able to buy them the school supplies that they need.” The Mar ysville Community Food Bank is collecting No. 2 pencils, wide-ruled and collegeruled filler paper, glue sticks, crayons, 12-packs of colored pencils, 70-page spiral notebooks and pink erasers from 7:30-11:30 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, as well as from 2-6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. Those school supplies will be distributed, as long as they hold out, on Mondays from 9-11 a.m. for disabled clients, and for regular clients on Tuesdays from 3-6 p.m.

and Fridays from 9-11 a.m., at 4150 88th St. NE, behind St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Donations may also be made out to the Marysville Community Food Bank and sent to P.O. Box 917, Marysville, WA 98270, or made on their website at http://marysvillefoodbank. org via PayPal. “If it wasn’t for this, I’d be able to do nothing,” Khinir said as she collected the school supplies for her children on Friday, Aug. 24, out of the remaining packets at the Food Bank. “It’s hard to make do these days, so we appreciate it when people help out as much as they can.” “Some people are embarrassed to get this sort of help, but with the economy as bad as it is, you do what you’ve got to do,” said Khinir’s mother, Coralynn. Deierling pointed out that the Food Bank always needs more volunteers during their distribution days on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. “We’ve got 8 percent more clients than we had this time last year, but our food donations are down 6 percent from where they were last year, and our dollar donations are down 10 percent,” Deierling said. “Those trend lines are going in the wrong direction.”

Marysville swimmers back in the pool BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — When local high school students were split between Marysville Getchell and Marysville-Pilchuck high schools

last year, several sports teams felt like they were working with a skeleton crew. Even a team like girls swimming — which continues to train both the Chargers and Tomahawks as one — faced a

tough season in 2011. “It was our first year broken up so it was a bit challenging,” said swim coach Jaci LeGore Hodgins, who also noted that both teams are required to compete separately, although they practice together. Despite the difficulty of competing as two smaller teams, both Chargers and Tomahawks swimmers competed at the district and state championship tournaments last year and are hoping to get a little bit further this year. Two state qualifying swimmers are returning this season, including Rachel Hartmeyer, a junior at MG, and Melody Colman, a junior at M-P. “The next thing that we want to do is move up and we should,” said LeGore Hodgins. “Both teams have more depth and experience. And MG has more bodies in the water, so that’s great too.” The teams began training on Aug. 20, and spend five hours a day — from 7-9:30 a.m. and then again from 4-6:30 p.m. — at practice up until the start of the

school year. “Ladies, seeing your progress is really exciting,” said LeGore Hodgins to the team during practice on Aug. 22. “Whatever we are doing is working, but you’ve got to believe in it.” The teams are working on both technique and strength training during the first several weeks of practice, but goals are never far from the swimmers’ minds. “Keep telling yourself, ‘I am strong, I am fast, I am powerful, I am happy.’ Positive self-talk is very important,” said LeGore Hodgins to the team. For some swimmers, the goal is to qualify for districts. For others, it’s state. For even others, especially newcomers, the goal is to just finish the season, but as LeGore Hodgins told them, “That’s a great goal too.” M-P co-captains Maddison Stevens and Rosemary Mohr are excited for the start of the season and impressed by the team so far. “A lot of these girls are really good,” said Stevens. “They’re good, people are trying a lot harder than

August 29, 2012

they normally do and there is a lot of positivity,” said Mohr. Both of the captains have goals of heading to districts, while the thought of state is something they don’t want to jinx. “It’s always a possibility,” said Stevens. For both teams this year, the possibilities of improvement are great. “We are excited to finish higher than last year,” said LeGore Hodgins. “M-P was district champion in 2010, so we are really looking forward to that. It’s so much fun to grow a team every year and watch as they challenge themselves and each other.” For the swimmers, the separation of the two schools did not create negativity between them. “They are like family. They compete against each other to make each other better,” said LeGore Hodgins. “A perfect example is their idea for T-shirts. They want a Tomahawk with a lightning bolt on the front. And on the back they want it to read ‘Three coaches, two teams, one family.’”

Lakewood Cougars return to the gridiron BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — Training is underway for the Lakewood High School football team, which returned to the field Aug. 15 to prepare for the upcoming season. “Last week and this week we’re having installation days for our offense and defense,” said head coach Dan Teeter on Aug. 22. “We’re just kind of doing running schemes, pass protection and that sort of thing, and we aren’t focusing on a particular opponent.” The team will work on practicing for a specific opponent during the week before their first game, Teeter said. Lakewood’s first game is an away game on Aug. 31 against the Washington High School Patriots in Tacoma. The Cougars finished up last season by making it to the state championships, although they lost to W.F. West in the quarterfinals playoff game with a final score of 33-18. The Cougars hope to make it state once again this year, and stand a good chance with three strong returning players. “Justin Peterson is our starting quarterback,” said Teeter. “He was the all-league first team quarterback last year as well.” Peterson, a three-sport athlete

at Lakewood, who also competes in basketball and track and field, holds the school record for the most touchdowns in a game. He also boasts the school’s longest streak of games with a touchdown scored, a total of 22 straight. Peterson was the long-jump state champion for Lakewood at the state track and field championships in May. In addition to Peterson returning, the Cougars’ wide receiver Brandon Stott will be back, after making it to the all-league first team offense in 2011 as well. “He’s a career leader in receiving yards and receptions,” said Teeter. “And he’s the fastest kid on the team.” Running back Donovan Evans made the all-league second-team offense last year with nine rushing touchdowns and two receiving and is back for the Cougars this year. Evans holds the school record for the most rushing yards in a season, having rushed for more than 1,100 yards in 2011. “It’s really good to have the strength of these three guys back this year,” said Teeter. “We lost most of our offensive line and we have only three starting on our defensive line.” Teeter said he has high hopes for this year’s crop of players and wants to see them build their team spirit.

“We want to come together as a team. We like to say that we are a family,” he said. As far as their goals for this season, they remain high.

“We just want to keep building on the success we had last year,” he said. “We want to repeat our league championship win and get further in the state championships.”

town for our big celebrations. The museum will become a center of social and cultural activity, which will help provide cash flow for it. I’m a lifelong resident of Marysville who’s proud that both Rotary and the city were able to be part of this.” Construction on the MHS museum is scheduled to start this September. The Marysville Historical Society is a private, not-for profit organization of about 200 members, dedicated to the discovery, preservation and display of all items relating to the history of the greater Marysville area. This includes artifacts, photographs and personal stories about the people who brought Marysville out of the woods and made it a city. For more information, contact Cage at 360659-3090.

his plans for an old storefront appearance and a community center as part of its design. While Cage credited the local chapters of Soroptimist, Kiwanis and Rotary with supporting the museum, he promised that the museum’s community center would bear the Rotary’s name in honor of the group’s $250,000 in pledged funds. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring commended the Marysville Historical Society for its commitment to making the museum a reality over the course of four decades. “We talk a lot about the identity of Marysville, and this museum will help enhance our culture, for both our citizens and those visiting our town,” Nehring

said. In the crowds, Nehring pointed out Marysville City Council members Donna Wright and Steve Muller, as well as state Rep. John McCoy and Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce Board Chair John Bell and President and CEO Caldie Rogers, all of whom he described as longtime supporters of the museum as well. Muller, who’s also a member of the Marysville Noon Rotary, spoke on behalf of Rotary in place of its president, Kelly Peterson, who was unable to attend the groundbreaking. “I remember as far back as 13 years ago, meeting with Ken almost every day on this museum,” Muller said. “We’ve had a lot of input in the years since.

Traci Tobler, Marysville School District with extra caution, since she needs to take up both lanes in order to make those turns, and could encounter cars heading toward her. Like all school bus drivers, she also stops before each railroad crossing, even when the gate isn’t down, and opens the door to let passengers on or off. “If a bus were to get stuck on the train tracks because the car in front or behind couldn’t move, there’s no good outcome for a busversus-train collision,” Tobler said. “If you see a bus out on the road that appears to be acting unusually, do let us know about it, but also keep in mind that it might be a driver in training, since the road is the only place they have to learn, so please don’t honk or yell if they’re going a bit slow.” Rojas is impressed with the technological updates that have been made to the buses since she started driving them, but she still conducts old-fashioned

checks such as patting down the seats, to make sure they’re firmly secured before the kids rush in to use them. While Rojas is an experienced mother, Tobler explained that the Marysville School District provides training on how to deal with children for all bus drivers, regardless of whether they’re parents off the clock. “This won’t be the end of her training, either,” Tobler said of Rojas’ practice driving sessions and subsequent test. “Every year, our drivers receive refresher training. It doesn’t end after you learn how to drive.” Parents can log onto the MSD website at www.msvl. k12.wa.us/departments/ transportation to find out their children’s bus routes in time for the start of the 2012-13 school year on Wednesday, Sept. 5. School district officials caution parents to check the site more than once, since some routes might be subject to change.

they’re trained to be looking out further down the road than most other drivers.” Rojas is one of 30 substitute drivers in a fleet of 100 Marysville School District buses that’s mainly staffed by 73 permanent drivers. As of Aug. 24, she’d done about 10 of the roughly 15 driving practice days that each driver must complete prior to being tested. According to Tobler, none of the driving practice days last longer than two hours, in order to facilitate the drivers’ retention of the skills that they’re learning or refreshing themselves on. “Nice smooth stop,” Tobler told Rojas that Friday morning. “Good scanning. What are you looking out for?” “Cars and kids leaping out into the street,” Rojas said. Bus drivers not only need to plan their turns further in advance than car drivers, but also find it more challenging to make right turns than left turns due to the dimensions of their vehicles, when the reverse is true for regular motorists. Rojas approaches blind sharp corners in the road

“If you see a bus out on the road that appears to be acting unusually, do let us know about it, but also keep in mind that it might be a driver in training, since the road is the only place they have to learn, so please don’t honk or yell if they’re going a bit slow.”

Tulalip Tribes, DFW sign Local students named hatchery agreement to UW Dean’s List

TULALIP — The Tulalip Tribes and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife took a significant step in the process of coordinating hatchery production and salmon recovery efforts in the Snohomish region by signing a memorandum of understanding that recognizes anew the ongoing cooperative hatchery program between the Tribes and the WDFW’s Wallace River Hatchery. The agreement identifies joint goals for returning adults, eggs collected, fish released, and conditions for the marking and tagging of native Chinook and Coho salmon stocks. Additionally, numerous improvements to operating protocols, including organizational adjustments, were made to both programs. “Where our declining salmon runs are concerned, we have acknowledged for some time now that we are all in this together, and must therefore find solutions together,” Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. said. “This agreement offers a model for how the Tribes and the state of Washington can work together to recover our greatest common natural resource.” Phil Anderson, director of the WDFW, also sees it as a positive step for salmon recovery in the region and called the agreement “a model of state-tribal cooperation.” Tribal biologists and managers and the WDFW have endeavored to build

a working relationship over the years, with the result that the Snohomish River basin is on track to becoming a model for how hatcheries can aid in the recovery of wild salmon runs, while also continuing to provide opportunities for fisheries. Terry Williams, commissioner of Fisheries and Natural Resources for the Tulalip Tribes, believes the agreement sets a standard for excellence in cooperation, and expects it to help the partnership achieve its goals. “A successful plan allows enhanced fishing opportunities for everybody while continuing to reduce impacts on wild fish,” Williams said. “The Tulalip Tribes are interested in arriving at a long-term solution to declining salmon runs. Working closely with the Wallace River Hatchery has allowed us to build a stronger hatchery program, one that helps salmon and people.” The signed MOU highlights recent progress made in finalizing a more detailed state-tribal regional hatchery plan. Tulalip and WDFW regional staff were the first to complete their Hatchery Action Implementation Plan, which includes all state and tribal hatchery programs for all species in the Snohomish region, and are nearing completion of the Hatchery and Genetic Management Plans. Many issues between the Tribes and WDFW were brought

up, analyzed, and resolved in the process of designing and implementing a regional plan, one compatible with habitat and harvest components of the larger salmon recovery plan. Mike Crewson, fisheries enhancement biologist for the Tulalip Tribes, acknowledged the hard work and cooperation that was necessary to complete the plan. “It was a long and sometimes complicated process, but in the end, we arrived at compromise, and that strengthened our partnership,” Crewson said. “Applying new, innovative methods and having the willingness to compromise enabled us to balance hatchery production goals with the objectives for naturally spawning wild salmon, which will ultimately result in better outcomes for salmon recovery.” Ray Fryberg, director of Natural and Cultural Resources for the Tulalip Tribes, emphasized how integrally connected the Tribes are to the outcomes of salmon recovery. “The Tribes have been living and harvesting fish here for thousands of years and we intend to keep doing so for at least that long into the future,” Fryberg said. “A well-run hatchery operation means we have fish for our people and the means to help our wild runs recover. The Tribes and the state have worked out an agreement that enhances opportunities for everybody. It’s a win-win situation.”
