Fire districts discuss regionalization options BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Firefighters from Marysville, Getchell, Tulalip Bay, Arlington, Arlington Heights, Silvana and Lakewood were among those representing 14 fire districts at a special meeting on Thursday, Aug. 30, to discuss the future of fire and emergency medical services in Arlington and North Snohomish County as a whole. Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert introduced Don Bivens, an emergency services consultant with 30 years of experience in the fire service, as he presented a program in the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center on how the fire districts in attendance might be able to part-

ner and/or pool their resources to maintain and perhaps even expand their levels of service in the face of ever-increasing demands and diminishing resources. Bivens retired from the Clark County Fire District in Vancouver, Wash., in 2010, and acknowledged that public expectations of fire and EMS are escalating while state and federal dollars are drying up in the midst of ongoing economic troubles. “What’s the upside of regionalizing?” Bivens asked rhetorically. “I can’t say you’ll always save money, but you’ll gain significant opportunities to reduce costs, especially as you benefit from economies of scale.”

Bivens touted the clout that regionalization would lend to the agencies involved, and explained that it can be accomplished via a merger of any number of fire districts, an annexation of a city, a contractual consolidation of the districts’ administrations or functions, an operational consolation which would retain the districts’ separate administrations, an organizational consolidation of one agency contracting the other agency’s full services, or the implementation of a regional fire authority.

COMMUNITY: Local

MARYSVILLE — To make sure their school was inviting in time for the start of the 2012-13 school year on Wednesday, Sept. 5, several of the students, staff members, families and surrounding community members of Marshall Elementary and the Marysville Cooperative Education Program spruced up the school’s grounds on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Marshall Elementary Principal Kelly Sheward expressed her appreciation to the school’s Co-op and PTSA for coordinating the four-hour work party, to compensate for the impact of funding shortfalls faced by the Marysville School District. “Due to state and federal budget cuts, the dis-

the Co-op, praised Bourne Orthodontics for its $200 monetary contribution, as well as Fred Meyer for offer-

ing a 25 percent discount on any supplies the work party needed, and Pacific Topsoil for discounting its mulch from $25 a yard to $10 a yard, of which the work party purchased 10 yards.

Savvy Plants and Sunnyside Nursery each donated plants, with Sunnyside providing more than 50 plants and garden beds, while Marshall Elementary student Brooke Martinson’s father, an employee of Ron Nobach Trucking, helped secure the use of a truck for the mulch. “We thought we were going to have to send as many pickup trucks as we could to pick up and transport the mulch,” Callagan said. “The donated truck saved us manpower that we could focus on the school. The district has been mowing the grass, but hasn’t been able to tend to the flower beds, so we’ve been weeding and cleaning it up to add to its curbside appeal. I’m so glad that so many businesses and members of our community have stepped

up, because otherwise it would have been just us.” The work party that assembled for the day’s labors was not inconsiderable, since it consisted of 10 school staff members, another 15 parents and other adults, and at least 20 children. “We wanted to make it better than it used to be,” said Marshall Elementary fourth-grader Alex Price, in between shifts of shoveling mulch into wheelbarrows. “I also like that we get free food,” he laughed, noting the table of snacks and the discounted pizza from Papa John’s. Kevin Faulkner, one of Price’s classmates, urged his peers and the grownups in his hometown alike to participate in such events. “Get out and be active,” Faulkner said. “If we didn’t do this, the school grounds would be dirty and gross, and kids wouldn’t want to come here.” Levi Jones graduated from Marshall Elementary this spring, but the sixth-grader was still willing to come back and work up a sweat for his alma mater, since his sister is heading into Hank Palmer’s fifth-grade class at the school this year. “I hope his sense of humor is as great for her as it was when he taught me,” Jones said. “When a school is clean, it lifts your spirits and you’re able to learn better. Marysville is a very good town for kids to learn in.”

FIRE FROM PAGE 1 city and a fire district as you can get. The organizations don’t go away and there’s not really any more government since it adds responsibilities to the existing people.” Bivens admitted that the process time for instituting a regional fire authority is “intensive,” but presented regionalization as a chance to reevaluate longstanding practices. “It’s an excuse for a do-over, to decide how you might provide your services differently,” Bivens said. “You can try and get creative because just raising taxes and making cuts is a not a sustainable strategy.” When asked how much a feasibility study for regionalization would cost, Bivens noted that the one he’d witnessed in Clark County, which involved eight agencies and four cities, ran to $232,000, but declined to speculate for North Snohomish County, beyond pointing out that the number of agencies involved would affect the price. When Arlington City Council member Debora Nelson asked how wide-ranging a regional fire authority should be geographically, Bivens asserted that the included fire districts’ boundaries should be coextensive, or at least within the same sphere of influence. “Closer is better,” Bivens said. “Touching is best. The more agencies you have, the more moving parts you have. A handful of agencies are very doable, but past a certain point, the price goes up and it becomes more difficult.” At the same time, Bivens

648208

cited better grant funding as an advantage of regionalized fire services and advised the fire districts to have an evaluation conducted by a thirdparty outside agency to counteract what he saw as “builtin biases” that each agency would have when evaluating themselves. “This is all too overwhelming to try and zero in on any specific details now,” said Tulalip Bay Fire Commissioner Bill Dobler, when asked for his thoughts on the options that Bivens outlined. “We’re just a little district sitting out on the edge. Just to survive, we already have to work with others.” Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman emphasized that the evening’s meeting was simply an exploratory session and that no plans have been made in any direction. “It’s important for us all to have completely open minds at this point, to figure out what’s best for all our communities,” Stedman said. “It’s encouraging to see 14 fire districts participating in this discussion. Because of the economy, we need to have these discussions now so that we can make decisions that will allow us to move forward.” “These all seem like relatively reasonable, responsible alternatives,” said Marysville Fire Assistant Chief Martin McFalls, who shared Stedman and Dobler’s reticence for narrowing the options down at this point. “We’re all seeking the best bang for our buck nowadays and our communities need to know that. We can’t take their support for granted.”

Local family receives support after house fire BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — With Reille Jones starting her freshman year at Lakewood High School, and her big brother Jerrod starting his freshman year at Eastern Washington University, both this September, the house fire that gutted their family’s home on Saturday, Aug. 25, couldn’t have come at a worse time. Although the cause of the fire at the Jones’ two-story Arlington home is still under investigation, it started in an upper-floor bedroom and burned through nearly all the rooms in the top floor within minutes. What few pieces

of property the fire didn’t destroy on the top floor, it contaminated with soot to the point that they were all rendered unsalvageable. Katie Jones, mom to Reille, Jerrod and their older sister Kiauni, added that water damage wrecked most of the ground floor as well, resulting in what she estimated to be a loss of 80 percent of their belongings. “Jerrod had pennants from every state hanging on his wall, but of course they’re all gone now,” Katie Jones said. “I’d been collecting clothes for charity, but those were in my bedroom, so we lost them all too.” While the fire left Katie

and both her daughters feeling sick, and has forced them to dispose of four dumpsterloads of belongings that have been reduced to trash, the entire family agreed on how kind the surrounding community has been, from the daily meals they’ve received from their neighbors to multiple fundraisers conducted

by Reille’s Lakewood High School peers, with one student car wash generating $400 and more such events already being planned. “The Red Cross came out the night of the fire and stayed with us until we had some food, money and clothing, and a hotel room for two days,” Katie Jones said,

after her husband Brett urged people to donate to the Red Cross. “They treated us like the most important people on the planet.” While the Joneses could still use more clothes, and school supplies for both Reille and Jerrod, they consider themselves fortunate for all the aid they’ve already

received, as well as the fact that they all survived the fire and are together as a family. You can help out the Jones family through contributions to the “Katie Jones and Brett Jones Fire Donation” account at any Skagit State Bank branch, or via PayPal to candlesfromkatie@gmail. com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR An act of cowardice

I, like so many of you, have a parent in a local retirement/ assisted living facility. The facility is a wonderful place filled with delightful residents, all of whom have ways of becoming an extended member of your family. They are a generation most have forgotten, but trust me, this generation should never be forgotten. They are the generation that made this country and we owe them so much — most of all we owe them our thanks and respect. With this being said, the facility my mother is residing in has, for lack of a better word, a shack behind their residents’ building. This is an area where the residents can go to just get some fresh air and visit. They have cats they take care of, as well as pigeons who come to visit. For some, this is their enjoyment — nobody has the right to violate their space without being invited, or remove anything from their space without their permission. To make a somewhat long story short, I thought there needed to be some flowers outside this shack to bring it to life. I decided that I would get some plants for them. I went to Fred Meyer, got some large potted plants, complete with plant stands, shepherds hooks and watering can. At one time there were six plants in front of the shack for them to take care of. They loved doing it and it made them feel good about what they were doing and about themselves. It gave them purpose. One day I noticed that one plant was missing, then another and slowly over several weeks all the plants, and the stands, had disappeared. To clarify — these people use walkers, canes, wheelchairs, etc., so they aren’t able to cart off a potted plant. We have decided that someone saw the plants, decided they either needed them for their yards or just took them and dumped them

along the road someplace. To say these people are sad and disappointed is an understatement. These were items they nurtured and cared for, watched grow, and for one resident was a colorful collage he watched grow as he sat in his wheelchair and looked out his window each day. This has made me angry and I began to wonder, what has our community turned into? Why do we feel it necessary to destroy and/ or take something belonging to someone else? In this case, something of beauty that brought so much pleasure to those who have so little. What and who gives us the right to go onto someone else’s property and bring such sadness to people we don’t even know … all in the name of “I am bored and have nothing else to do” or “The world owes me something so I will do something to these people — don’t know them, don’t care?” There is no answer to this question. I have become very disheartened to some degree and I really question what our once caring little community has become? Have we all grown so into ourselves that what values we grew up with and taught our kids have all gone by the wayside? What possible enjoyment could anyone get out of taking plants that made some senior citizens smile and that filled their days with joy? I will continue to provide items of color for “my extended family members” to enjoy, hoping that the thieves have moved on to yet another senior living facility. It is my hope that some of you will do the same for your family members who live in one of these facilities, you will get so much in return. As for the person or persons responsible for the theft at our location, I just don’t understand why you did this and I doubt I ever will. The question I pose to you, the thieves, is why?

The Right Perspective

nother football season is upon us already, and with it the latest story of a heroic figure who depends on a severely challenged person for inspiration and grounding. Did you see the recent profile of Bill O’Brien who is the new head football coach at Penn State, a program disgraced by scandal and decimated by NCAA sanctions? You might think the job of rebuilding a once proud program, coping with the complex emotional legacy of a storied predecessor, and focusing his players on the future might be stressful. But Coach O’Brien and his wife Colleen “face daunting challenges every day that have nothing to do with scholarship restrictions, a bowl ban or reviving the sullied reputation of the Penn State football program” according to newspaper accounts. Not least among these challenges is that their 10-year-old son Jack wakes up every morning with a seizure that can be brief or require a trip to the emergency room, often the first of many seizures depending on the day. Jack has a rare genetic condition that interferes with his brain’s capacity to send motor instructions to his body. His movement is severely limited and Jack spends most of his time in a wheelchair or “commando crawling on his belly.” How has his son’s condition affected the career trajectory of this Ivy League educated coach who worked his way up to become a protégé of Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots, calling plays for Tom Brady in last year’s Super Bowl before accepting the rebuilding job at Penn State? “In a way, it was one of the best things that ever happened to us,”

GUEST OPINION

TOM EVERILL PRESIDENT & CEO OF NORTHWEST CENTER Coach O’Brien says. “It added so much perspective to our lives. We figured out what was important, and it brought us closer together and put in perspective the importance of football.” Jack’s parents focus on the many things he can do rather than his limitations. They sound like proud parents anywhere when they brag about “his resilience in the face of his daily seizures and the way he smiles and rubs his belly in excitement when he sees his mom and his brother, 7-year-old Michael. Colleen O’Brien beams,” the article continues, “when talking about Jack’s smile, his love of fire trucks and his calm demeanor.” How can this be, that a child with such severe challenges seems to enhance the lives of his family rather than diminish it? Granted, professionals like the O’Brien’s probably have the financial wherewithal not to be crushed by cruel cutbacks to public funding and the constant fight for essential services that so many families face. Yet “one of the best things that ever happened to us” is a theme I often hear from parents across the socio-economic spectrum. Diversity brings perspective, a crucial yet preciously rare ingredient required for human growth and happiness. This is certainly true for families like the O’Brien’s, but social scientists are increasingly demonstrating the power of diversity in larger social contexts like companies, universities, and even cities and whole countries. The logic is simple. In the words

of Scott Page, professor of complex systems, political science, and economics at the University of Michigan, “the right perspective can make a problem easy.” Dr. Page illustrates this point with story after story from the discovery of DNA to the way the British cracked Nazi secret code during World War II to the phenomenal success of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream products. In each case, it wasn’t genius that caused the major advancement so much as simply a different way of seeing things that opened new possibilities. Coach O’Brien could certainly attest to the value that Jack’s different way of seeing things brings to his own life and work. “At 42, the man has already fought bigger battles than what he’s facing at Penn State,” says a fellow coach who has worked with O’Brien. “And he’s won those battles. He’s a devoted husband and father and has shown the principles instilled in all of us.” The perspective Coach O’Brien derives from Jack’s unique way of experiencing the world has made Tom Brady a better quarterback, helped propel the New England Patriots to yet another Super Bowl, and will now be a factor in rehabilitating one of the most storied college football programs in history. Jack has also clearly taken the O’Brien family to a deeper place of love and connection to what really matters. Like all people, Jack has great inherent value to contribute. His story is yet another compelling example of why it makes sense to engage and include people of all abilities in our schools, workplaces, and communities.

‘Run From the Law’ to benefit Make-A-Wish

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The debut “Run From the Law 5K” on Saturday, Sept. 16, aims to recruit both cops and runners of all ages to help raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Shelley Hutcheson-Smith, who’s

taking part in coordinating the firsttime event, with an eye toward making it annual, explained that volunteer police officers will start five minutes after the civilian runners to try and cross the same finish line. “We’ve already got some folks from the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office and the Tulalip Tribal Police,”

said Hutcheson-Smith, who thanked Quil Ceda Village for providing the Tulalip Amphitheatre as the site of the 5K charity. “We’d love to see Marysville and Arlington police officers as well. We want the whole community to get involved.” Hutcheson-Smith hopes to see at least 10 police officers and about 100

ChurCh

runners signed up for the 5K, which is from 8-10 a.m. on Sept. 16. “We’re really beating the bushes to get more participants,” said Hutcheson-Smith, who credited an employee of North Sound Physical Therapy in Marysville for coming up with the idea of a 5K to “run from the cops,” and the owner of

Christ

that business for inspiring its choice of charity, since the owner’s son benefitted from the Make-A-Wish Foundation while receiving heart surgery. “ The cost to participate is $25 per person. For more information, email runningtogive@gmail.com or log onto www.runfromthelaw5k.com.

Tomahawks overpower Eagles 42-14 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A blue moon rose over the season opener between the Arlington Eagles and the MarysvillePilchuck Tomahawks at Quil Ceda Stadium on Aug. 31, and the Tommies proved that victories won’t be a rarity for them this season when they dealt the Eagles a rough 42-14 defeat. The Tomahawks came out strong in the first half with five touchdowns scored — three by junior quarterback Jake Luton and two by sophomore running back Austin Joyner. Luton and Joyner both ended up having the most inspired performances of the evening, with Joyner rushing 37 yards on two carries in the first quarter, including a play that had the crowd cheering on its feet. The Tomahawk offense finished off its five-play drive with a 2-yard quarterback sneak by Luton. Joyner scored two touchdowns before the end of the first half, including a 9-yard carry and a 9-yard reception. Arlington’s first touchdown came toward the end of the second quarter when senior running back John Decker com-

pleted a 2-yard touchdown run. Decker proved to be a strong part of the otherwise relatively young team, finishing with 141 yards rushing on 21 carries. Despite the efforts of both Decker and junior quarterback Austin Wells, Arlington’s offense was slow to respond to the Tomahawks’ dominance on the field during the first part of the game and the Eagles went into halftime trailing 35-7. “I thought we played really well in the first half,” said M-P head coach Brandon Carson. “In the second half they kind of held us off a bit more.” Carson agreed that Joyner was one of the leading players in the game. “Austin Joyner had a really good game,” he said. Although the team came to the field with stunning offense, they made some errors that Carson is looking to correct in coming games. “We had a few too many turnovers,” he said. “We’ve just got to get better. We’ll fix that problem and we’ll keep getting better as we go forward.” The second half of the game didn’t yield as many touchdowns as the first, but senior running back Kacey Walker rushed 7

yards for the Tomahawks’ final touchdown in the third quarter. The score was 42-7 going into the fourth, which kept Marysville a safe distance in the lead despite a final Arlington touchdown by senior Skylor Elgarico in the fourth quarter. “I think our team came out really fired up and excited to play, and we all contributed,” said senior wide receiver Kyle Nobach, who is gearing up for the next game already. “I think we need less turnovers next time, but our pursuit on defense looked pretty good. And Luton is looking really good, he has a lot more experience than last year.” Despite Marysville’s clear success on Friday, the game against their old rivals is now non-league as M-P has been reclassified from 4A to 3A. The change didn’t affect the competition from the Tomahawks, however. “We’ve played the same guys we’ve been playing for a while,” said Carson. “I thought the team played really well and obviously I’m happy with where we are at right now.” The 1-0 Tomahawks are set to face Lake Stevens in an away game on Friday, Sept. 7 at 7 p.m.

Lakewood volleyball prepares for season BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Lakewood High School varsity volleyball player Rachel Reinecke digs a ball during a training drill on Aug. 30.

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood volleyball team has been training for weeks to prepare for the new season and their Sept. 6 matchup against rival Archbishop Murphy High School will be their first game of the year. Only three players graduated in June, so the varsity crew is madeup of mainly returners. “We’ve got six returning players — five sophomores and one freshman,” said head coach Tasha Kryger. “We aren’t really rebuilding anymore. I think we have a really good team.” Lakewood’s volleyball team has been competitive in recent years and advanced to districts in 2011, although they lost in the quarterfinals to Archbishop Murphy and Anacortes high schools. “Our goal at this point is to make it back to districts and win one to play on Saturday,” said Kryger. “We want to be in the top three in the conference.” Kryger mentioned a number of returning players who together bring years of playing time and

skill. “Kendall O’Kinsella is a junior and setter. We are also going to make her an outside hitter,” said Kryger, of the floor captain. “Danielle Small is our only returning senior, so she is going to be key. Skylar Cannon is a junior and another outside hitter that I’m really excited about.” Larissa Block, a junior, is a newcomer who Kryger is particularly impressed with so far. “She was with us last year but couldn’t play due to an ankle injury,” she said. “But she is back and her and Skylar are hitting really well from the outside. They are both really quick.” The varsity team includes eight juniors, which gives the Cougars a unique advantage going into this season. “Anything they are building up this year, they will be able to use next year as well,” said Kryger. O’Kinsella agreed. “My goal is that we make it to districts this year and play well next year,” she said. “I’m really excited to just continue to grow as a team and build our program for the future.”

O’Kinsella and Kryger noted that many of the players practiced together during summer open gym sessions to build not only skill, but a sense of camaraderie. “We did a lot of off-season training, summer open gyms, fundraisers and tournaments and that sort of thing,” said O’Kinsella. “We definitely play as a family. We aren’t six individuals, but one team.” The Cougars’ sense of family was strengthened recently when a freshman member of their junior varsity team, Reille Jones, suffered the tragedy of her family’s home being damaged by fire on Aug. 25. “The girls are really rallying around her right now,” said Kryger. “They took her back-to-school shopping to show their support. We really want them to see the importance of being a good citizen and urge them to volunteer.” If anyone needs help, the team would like to do some more volunteer work in the community, said Kryger. The Cougars face the Wildcats in an away game on Sept. 6, at Archbishop Murphy High School, beginning at 7 p.m.

Meeting focuses on composting lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Cedar Grove Composting was once again the center of discussion at a public meeting held Aug. 30 at the Marysville Boys & Girls Club, which offered information on how composting works and how enforcement agencies are reacting to odor complaints from local residents. Dozens attended the meeting, which was hosted by Steven Gilbert and Shannon Robinson of the Institute of Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders, a nonprofit organization focused on researching toxic chemicals, as part of a public participation grant from the state Department of Ecology. The meeting began with an introduction by Gilbert, which included facts on composting, chemicals, research studies and more. “Our goal is to try to engage the public on discussing these issues and solutions,” said Gilbert. “This is a public meeting to figure out what should be done.” Following Gilbert’s presentation, a panel including

Craig Kenworthy, executive director of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency; John Cleary, environmental engineer with the DOE; and Gilbert took questions from those in attendance. “Last year we made our first attempt at trying to figure out this problem,” said Cleary, who noted that the DOE has conducted a study on Cedar Grove that has yet to be released. “We see this as a growing statewide problem.” Kenworthy answered questions on how his agency has responded to complaints about Cedar Grove. “We are working on a map that shows where these complaints originate,” said Kenworthy. “You can tell where you are getting a lot of complaints.” Some attendees questioned how chemicals released during the composting process may affect the health of those living nearby. “If my kids were sick or my neighbors were sick because of it, that is not okay,” said one woman who attended the meeting. Gilbert confirmed that no health studies were conducted on the effects of

odor and emissions from Cedar Grove Composting. Karen Dawson, community outreach director for Cedar Grove, attended the meeting. “One thing I can reiterate is that Cedar Grove is committed to being a good neighbor,” said Dawson. “The attendance at these meetings show odors as an issue of concern. Our presence shows that we also care about issues affecting Marysville residents.” Two Marysville residents, James and Gayle Moffat, also attended the meeting after having called in hundreds of odor complaints since moving to Marysville in 2009. “My reason for coming is because I want to know what chemicals are coming out of Cedar Grove,” said Gayle Moffat. “I wanted to know if they are looking into the health effects and are neighbors feeling those effects?” James Moffat agreed, and felt that the solution may be a simple one. “They know there are effective models for these facilities and they should copy it outright,” he said. “It just shouldn’t be allowed to stink.”

together at critical times to help support those in need,” Deierling said. “With the number of families coming to our food bank up 8 percent this year, we’re challenged to meet that need, especially with food donations down 6 percent and financial donations down 10 percent. This time of year is when our inventory of food hits its low point, prior to people reaching out to give during the holiday time period.” Deierling noted that the Marysville Community Food Bank has served more than 500 first-time client families so far this year, and added that 40 percent of those served are children. “That statistic makes me sick,” Deierling said. Among the canned food items in demand at area food banks are vegetables, milk, beans, tuna, chicken, pasta sauce, cranberry sauce, stew, chili, soup, fruit juice, pasta, Crisco, SpaghettiOs, vegetable oil and canola oil. Among the boxed or packaged food items requested by local food banks

MARYSVILLE — The second annual “Helping Hands, Linking Arms” week of service in remembrance of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, will once again be benefitting the Marysville and Tulalip food banks, as well as the “Seeds of Grace” program at Allen Creek Community Church.

From Monday, Sept. 10, through Saturday, Sept. 15, donations may be dropped off at the Albertsons, Allen Creek Thriftway, Batter’s Box Batting Cages & Mini Golf, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Fred Meyer, Grocery Outlet, Haggen Food & Pharmacy, Quiznos Subs and Safeway locations in Marysville. Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling commended the organizers and volunteers of last year’s “Helping Hands, Linking Arms” for a “smoothly-run operation” that generated 2,205 pounds of food for his clients, right when his shelves were at their emptiest. “The ‘Helping Hands, Linking Arms’ food drive brings the community

Client families of those food banks are also running short on diapers, wipes, diaper cream, baby shampoo, baby food, baby cereal, formula and toddler snacks. Donations of toilet paper, laundry detergent, shaving cream, feminine hygiene products, razors, toothpaste, bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes and deodorant are likewise useful and appreciated. Deierling expressed confidence that the Marysville community would pitch in to ensure that this year’s “Helping Hands, Linking Arms” yields even more dividends for those in need. “If you can give, please give,” Deierling said. “If you are in need, please come. Let’s all work to keep the cycle of support alive.” David Flake of Camano Island, a spokesperson for the “Helping Hands, Linking Arms” committee, joined Deierling in predicting that this year’s campaign will exceed last year’s totals, as more community members become aware of the opportunity to work together to alleviate hunger. The Marysville Community Food Bank is located at 4150 88th St. NE, behind St. Mary’s Catholic Church, and may be called at 360-658-1054. Those interested in taking part in this year’s “Helping Hands, Linking Arms” food drive may call Donny Wilcox, at 425-931-2275, about volunteer opportunities ranging from collecting food to assisting with the official weighins.

One dead, four injured in collision on SR 9

ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Arlington man lost his life in the head-on collision between two cars on Highway 9 just north of Crown Ridge Boulevard at 3:09 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30. The Arlington man was driving a red Mitsubishi northbound and crossed over the center line, striking a black Nissan Leaf heading southbound. He was the sole occupant of his vehicle, and after extrication and lifesaving attempts, he was pronounced dead on the scene. The Nissan Leaf â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants included four

Marysville residents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a 41-year-old woman, a 14-year-old girl, and two children in the backseat, aged 4 and 2 years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of whom were transported to Providence Hospital in Everett for treatment, and were reported to be stable with non-life-threatening injuries. The 41-year-oldwoman and 14-year-old girl were thought to have sustained possibly serious injuries, while the two children in the backseat were sent to Providence for precautionary measures. An airlift was originally called for trans-

port, but did not wind up transporting any patients. Multiple drivers made 911 calls after observing the driver crossing the centerline and fog line frequently, and as such, multiple agencies were en route. The driver of the vehicle behind the red Mitsubishi was giving 911 operators constant information as to their location, which was helpful to dispatching nearby units in hopes of stopping the vehicle before anything further

occurred. Upon witnessing the crash, the driver behind the Mitsubishi was even able to provide initial aid to the crash victims, as well as put out a small fire in the Mitsubishi. The driver of the vehicle that was two vehicles ahead of the red Mitsubishi was also on the phone with 911 providing information, and was able to slow her vehicle to 40 miles per hour, which slowed down the Mitsubishi. The speed limit on that area

of Highway 9 is 55 miles per hour, so the crash could have been much worse if the vehicle was traveling at full speed or faster than the speed limit. Multiple agencies were on a number of high priority calls and collisions at the

time that the red Mitsubishiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s driving was being reported, among them the Arlington Police Department, which was responding to another head-on collision on Highway 530 when this accident was called in.

After my naps I have a burst of energy. Once I get past my shy stage I grow attached & have been breaking out of my shell, becoming very friendly! I will rub myself on your hand asking to be pet. Then I will purr & purr! Staff has named me as one of their favorites because I am such a sweet kitty. I would be better in a house without dogs, but other cats & kids I seem to do great with! Give me time, a scratch post & I will show you I am the best cat!

Name: Lily Animal ID: 16994589 Breed: Basset/German Pointer Age: 11 Years Gender: Female Color: Black/White Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Lily is a mellow gal. Her original parents went into retirement, so she is looking for her second family in a semi-active home, but one that is still peaceful & quiet. Her personality is mostly Basset. Bassets are one of the sweetest breeds. She loves car rides, so take her on any errands and she loves walks! Lily has never lived with other dogs, so supervised introductions to a resident dog is essential.

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