Black Friday draws thousands BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Black Friday shopping holiday is slowly becoming more of a Black Thursday, as more and more local retailers opened their doors to thousands of early-bird shoppers on Thanksgiving Day. This year, large chain stores such as Walmart and Target began their Black Friday sales in the evening, with both Arlington and Tulalip Walmart stores offering three sales events at 8 p.m., 10 p.m., and 5 a.m. The Marysville Target store, located at Lakewood Crossing, opened its doors at 9 p.m. and the Lakewood Best Buy began their sale at midnight. Deb Hunt, manager of the Marysville Target store, explained the chain’s deci-

sion to open on Thursday, Nov. 22. “Last year we opened at midnight and the year before that it was 4 a.m.,” she said. “It’s based on trends and business needs. And the consumer is very excited about Black Friday and eager to come early.” The line around the building proved the same, as some customers arrived five hours before the store opened its doors. Marysville residents Cathy and Steve Hammond were the first to stake their claim on the curb outside of the store and are no strangers to the Black Friday sales. “This is our first year at Target,” said Cathy Hammond. “We’ve gone to Walmart and Cabela’s in the past.” SEE SHOPPERS, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District Board of Directors was named the Board of the Year by the Washington State School Directors Association this fall. The MSD Board was recognized at the Nov. 17 WSSDA annual conference for school districts of 9,000 students or more, after the WSSDA named the MSD Board a Board of Distinction last year. The application process is based on the Washington Effective School

Board Standards, which ask boards to: ■ Show how their actions align with effective board governance practices. ■ Document their focus on educational excellence and equity for all students. ■ Identify how they create conditions for student and staff success. ■ Share their commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.

The Hammonds were initially drawn by a Target offer for an Apex brand television on sale for $147, but the advertisement misprinted the screen quality as 1080p rather than the actual 720p. Although the Hammonds were perturbed by the misprint, they were still excited to shop. “We may get the 50-inch TV on sale for $349. We’re also going to get the Xbox Kinect bundle for $199,” said Cathy Hammond, who also said she appreciated the early hours at Target. “I like it on Thanksgiving,

I hate getting up early,” she laughed. “We’ve been doing this for the last five years or so and we’ll keep doing it. It’s for our kids and our grandkids. Plus it’s fun. It’s about the hunt, the challenge, seeing what you can get. And I’d wait out here for eight hours if it meant getting something for my grandkids that they’ll really like. That’s what Christmas is all about — the kids.” Arlington resident William Frankhouser was also glad for the early Thanksgiving hours, but didn’t plan to race to the electronics department for the TV deals. “I’m getting some of the

smaller electronics and sale items,” he said. “I’m just hoping to find a few things here and there. It’s always a challenge to buy local too, so I’ll be shopping at the local businesses later.” Target team members offered waiting customers free Starbucks coffee samplers and granola bars, fuel for the shopping to come. Neighboring Best Buy had an earlier line, despite a later opening time. The first person to set up camp in front of the doors came from out of the country for the best deals. “I came to get a computer and a TV,” said Brodie Winkler, of British

Columbia, who arrived at the store at 1 p.m. “This is the only place I’m stopping, I just came for those two items.” Rose Weller of Arlington was chatting with Winkler and others while waiting. “I’m here for the laptop,” she said. “And I’m her line-holder. I saved her spot when she had to go to work,” said her sister Devin Weller. Her mother, Laurie Weller, joked that she joined in as shopping support and food supplier. Brett Donnelly of Stanwood brought a tent and a heater for the event, which he graciously shared with the Wellers, Winkler and others in line. “Because in this state it rains and gets cold, and I’m a sissy,” he joked. Donnelly waited at Best Buy to purchase two separate televisions and a laptop. Arlington’s Jennifer Brashear and her mother Laurie were thankful for Donnelly’s generosity. “We meet new people every year and it’s fun,” said Jennifer Brashear. “It’s our Thanksgiving mother-daughter bonding time,” said Laurie Brashear. Both the Tulalip and Arlington Walmart stores had large crowds for their doorbuster events. “This is my first time here,” said Barry Gohl of Seattle, who visited the Tulalip Walmart on Thanksgiving Day. “I came for the laptop they adver-

Patricia Schoonmaker, owner of Trusty Threads in Marysville, offered deals such as $5 off and buy one, get one half off, for both Black Friday and the following Small Business

Saturday, but decided not to open early. “Small Business Saturday has caught on here so my Black Friday is really Small Business Saturday,” she said. Craft Mart of Marysville maintained their regular 9 a.m. opening but offered doorbuster deals, including half-price on selected ornaments and artificial trees. “It’s kind of our kick-off to Christmas,” said store owner Tina Oiness. “We used to open at 7 a.m., and we have some diehard shoppers, but most people are camping outside of Best Buy.” Like Trusty Threads, Craft Mart participated in Small Business Saturday and is also hosting an open house on Dec. 1, from noon to 5 p.m. “The trees will be up and we’ll be in full holiday gear,” said Oiness. “We’re having a big sale and big activities.”

ARLINGTON — At the start of this school year, the Leadership class at Arlington High School was tasked with going big for their annual food drive. “I told them I wanted to see them change up their energy,” AHS Leadership Class Advisor Ben Ballew said. “I wanted to see them take it to the next level.” From Nov. 5-16, the organizers of and contributors to the AHS “Feed the Family” food drive seemed to take Ballew’s words to heart. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Ballew and volunteers from the Arlington

Community Food Bank came up with updated counts of the amounts of food and money they received during the two school weeks. “We received $439.84 and 3,948 food items,” Ballew said. “We also had a student’s family donate $2,000 to the Arlington Community Food Bank for the food drive. This brings our grand total to 6,388 donations. Our initial goal was approximately 6,400 items, since we asked students to bring one item for each member of their families, and we estimated an average of about four people per family.” According to the Arlington Community Food Bank, the 3,948 food items added up to 3,269 pounds of food, which they estimated is worth approximately $4,500. “The students rose to the challenge by investing their energy and time, and it showed,” Ballew said. “We’ve collected more than four times what we had at this time last year for the Food Bank.” In addition to the “Feed the Family” theme which enlisted students’ relatives in their collection efforts, this year’s AHS food drive saw a host of activities timed to coincide with its collection times, including “Just Dance” and “Minute to Win It” competitions pitting students against school staff members, as well as the return of the familiar favorite, “Stop Mr. Ballew from Singing,” during which students had to pay a certain amount of money, and bring in a certain number of items, to stop Ballew from singing and playing annoying songs. “We raised $300 just from those lunchtimes alone,” said Ballew, who also credited the Leadership class with organizing two

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Recognizing great work For many years, boys youth basketball has had a great local program available, A-Town Hoops, participating in the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) league playing other communities around Snohomish and Skagit counties. This program did not exist for girls in the Arlington community until recently. I want to take a moment to thank two of our community members for creating this opportunity and taking on this

project. Cory Duskin and David Mathieson began this undertaking early this year. After months of work, tryouts have just completed and teams have been selected. Arlington now has girls AAU Basketball for grades 5-8, providing Coach Marsh and his high school team a “feeder” program of upcoming players’ Cory and David volunteered countless hours of their personal time and resources to make this a reality for which many girls will benefit. A job well done. Thank you. Dave Kraski Fifth Grade Assistant Coach

O’Brien to build new Honda dealership in Marysville

MARYSVILLE — Although the O’Brien Auto Group doesn’t expect to open the doors on its new Honda dealership in Marysville until about this time next year, owner Michael O’Brien was so honored to be awarded the new dealership that he had to inform the community as soon as he heard. “This business can be like fighting gravity,” said O’Brien, who touted his namesake auto group as already being the largest auto dealer in the Pacific Northwest. “Around 2008, a lot of car dealers kind of jumped off a cliff, but we’ve survived.” In the four years since, though, O’Brien sees evidence from across the country that auto sales are finally rebounding to the levels of 2008. “Honda is a major driver of that growth and, as a result, this should provide a nice boost to the Marysville-Everett economy,” O’Brien said. O’Brien anticipates that construction on the new dealership should begin shortly after the start of the New Year, which he figures should give them time enough for an official opening by the fall of 2013, but he’s no stranger to yearlong wait periods in this process,

since he first applied for this dealership about a year ago. “This is a pretty good opportunity,” O’Brien said, noting how selective Honda is about its dealerships. “Honda took a lot of care in awarding this franchise, and we’re honored to be viewed as the best fit to serve this important market of both Marysville and Everett. This is an awesome community to be in.” The new Honda of Marysville will be a full-service dealership located just off Interstate 5, near the 156th Street over-crossing in Marysville. According to O’Brien, its 20,000-square-foot showroom, 20 service bays and “extensive” parts department will be staffed by 50-60 employees to start with, and will be complemented by one of the area’s largest inventories of new and used Hondas, as well as a fleet of loaner cars. “We hope to hit 100 employees within the first year and a half,” O’Brien said. “It’s important that Marysville customers see some of their friends and neighbors working here. We’ve reaped the benefits of this community’s patronage, so we want to pay that back a bit.” O’Brien proudly anticipates being able to offer a state-of-theart facility with services ranging from no-hassle loans to VIP car washes, and even noted that tradeins would not necessarily need to

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring cited the O’Brien Auto Group’s “tremendous reputation for doing right by its customers and taking an active role in the communities they serve” when he asked area residents and businesses to hold off on purchasing Hondas until the new dealership is completed. “We’re equally impressed by their commitment to employees and creating new jobs for residents in the areas surrounding each of their

dealerships,” Nehring said. “It’s in all of our best interests to support local merchants as they help create jobs and grow our economy.” O’Brien added that the Mercer Island Boys & Girls Club, Seattle Children’s Hospital and Overlake Service League are a few of the charitable organizations to which the O’Brien Auto Group’s dealerships have donated time and money. At the Nov. 26 Marysville City Council meeting, he also pledged to donate $10,000 to the

Marysville Community Food Bank in honor of the city’s Volunteer of the Month for October, Food Bank volunteer JoAnn Sewell. Founded in 1986, O’Brien Auto Group is a privately-held company that owns and operates 13 dealerships in Washington and Oregon. The company employs more than 600 people and had annual sales exceeding $500 million in 2011. More information on the company can be viewed online at www.obrienautogroup.com.

Clydesdales visit Smokey Point as part of ‘Military Tour’ kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Arlington Walmart played host to some unique fourlegged guests during this year’s Thanksgiving weekend. The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales, the symbol of Anheuser-Busch since 1933, had their scheduled public appearance at the Navy Exchange in Marysville on Friday, Nov. 23, rained out, but fairer

weather allowed them not only to keep their appointment at the Arlington Walmart on Sunday, Nov. 25, but also to extend their stay from two to five hours. According to Bob Fiedler of Crown Distributing, the area appearances of the eight-horse hitch, harnessed and hitched to the well-known red beer wagon, are part of the Budweiser Clydesdales’ November “Military Tour,” which will also include a visit to Joint Base Lewis-McChord Nov. 28-30.

Worship Directory

“The Clydesdales’ appearances in Marysville and Arlington are among hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches,” Fiedler said. “Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800s. Today, the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show.” ChurCh Fiedler explained that horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least three years old, stand approximately 18 hands (or six feet) tall at

the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, and be bay in color, have four white legs and a blaze of white on the face, along with a black mane and tail. “A gentle temperament is very important as hitch horses meet millions of people each year,” Fiedler said. “A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much of Christ Methodist as 20-25 quarts of feed, 40-50 courtesy of John Haberle pounds of hay and 30 gallons Marysville Free MethodistPhoto Church The Budweiser Clydesdales trot around theCentered” Arlington Walmart of water per day.” “Family Oriented — Bible Nov.Grove 25.

ARLINGTON — Although Dec. 7 marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum takes time during the day to honor the service of all American military members as part of its annual “Military Day.” From 1-4 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7, the Pioneer Hall will host another gathering of veterans and civilian members of the public alike, to

even included observances such as the the POW/MIA remembrance ceremony, whose empty table represents all the military members who have been prisoners of war or gone missing in action. Keith Reyes, who’s

held membership in both Arlington American Legion Post 76 and Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561, urged veterans and civilians alike to support their military members, regardless of their opinions about the wars they fight.

“They’re not politicians,” Reyes said. “We should honor our vets, from WWII and Korea on up through Vietnam and the current global war on terror. I’ve heard people compare 9/11 to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and I’m not sure that

you can, but in either case, the saddest thing we could do would be to forget.” The Pioneer Hall is located at 20722 67th Ave. NE in Arlington. For more information, call 360-435-7289 or log onto www.stillymuseum.org.

Shirley Ann Mahlum November 29, 1937 — November 16, 2012

Shirley Ann Mahlum passed away November 16, 2012 at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett at the age of 74 after a 4-year battle against chronic lymphatic leukemia. She was born on November 29, 1937 at home to Anne and Steve Novak in Sultan, WA. Granddaughter Amy Mahlum, age 10, wrote this about her Grandma Shirley: “Shirley Mahlum was a sweet, loving, and hard-working person. She was a wife, mother of two, grandmother of two, aunt, great-aunt, sister, daughter, cousin and friend. She grew up in Sultan, WA and graduated as a valedictorian in the class of 1956 from Sultan Union High School. She had worked at The General Adjustment Bureau to put her husband, Don, through college. She also worked more than 21 years as the head secretary at the Marysville Middle School. Shirley enjoyed traveling

to visit loved ones, going to plays, and going to music and art festivals. Shirley’s favorite color was turquoise, and favorite flowers were roses and impatiens. She liked to eat at The Tulalip Resort and she loved to play the card game “Golf”. Shirley thought that scarves, bracelets, earrings, rings, necklaces and nicelooking fashionable clothing and shoes were important to a daily lifestyle. Shirley was a thoughtful person that remembered people’s birthdays. She loved the holidays, but especially Christmas, because it brought the whole entire family together. Shirley had dedicated four and a half years of her life trying to take care of herself and eating and being healthy as much as possible. But she wouldn’t

be where she was, and she wouldn’t be as healthy and happy, without her husband Don.” At her passing, husband Don said, “It is amazing what God can create – that God can create such a wonderful person. Shirley shed her light upon everyone she met. She had such a wonderful presence.” She was preceded in death by her parents, Anne and Steve Novak. Shirley leaves behind her husband Don, of 55 years, sons Todd (Joelle) Mahlum of Marysville, WA and Mitch Mahlum of Toluca Lake, CA; granddaughters Anny and Amy Mahlum of Marysville, WA; sister Arlene (Bob) Coffman of Portland, ME; aunt Rosie Fonville of Wenatchee, WA, nieces

and nephews and numerous relatives in the Novak and Mahlum family as well as many close friends. Shirley’s family wants to express their thanks and gratefulness to the team of caregivers at Providence and The Everett Clinic who cared for her during her final days. The family also wants to express their gratitude for harpist Jeri Howe, Sister Mary, and Reverend Terry Kyllo of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Marysville, WA. Shirley will be laid to rest at Marysville Cemetery in a private graveside ceremony. The family is having a Celebration of Life for Shirley on December 9, 2012, 1:00 p.m. at Tulalip Hotel in Tulalip, WA. Memorials may be made to Providence Regional Cancer Partnership or a cancer research charity of your choice in Shirley’s memory.

Area residents look to take Cedar Grove to court outdoors for the past several years. However, Hageman noted that Davis’ claims, if they can be proven, could meet the requirements for a nuisance suit against Cedar Grove. “If the owner of property parcel A is creating unreasonable interference with the ability of the owners of surrounding property parcels B, C, D, E and F to enjoy their own property, in this case allegedly by generating these odors, then that would constitute a nuisance,” Hageman said. “It’s worth investigating, at least.” Heidi Happonen, a spokesperson for Cedar Grove, agrees that the

source of the odor should be investigated, which is why she touted Cedar Grove’s support of a proposed odor-monitoring study in south Marysville and north Everett. “Cedar Grove’s point of view is that this suit is an unfortunate distraction from the larger goal of objectively and scientifically identifying the source of this odor,” Happonen said. “There are 20 other potential sources of this smell that have already been identified.” While Happonen cited Cedar Grove’s investments in odor control, which she described as “a benchmark for the industry,” Davis has expressed skepticism about

the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency’s plans to use monitoring equipment provided by Odotech, a company that already contracts with Cedar Grove. These concerns have been echoed by Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring. “I want resolution, but they refuse to even admit that they’re the cause of the problem,” said Davis, who recalled that he was motivated to start “Citizens for a Smell Free Snohomish County” after his father’s 70th birthday party was ruined by the odor a few years ago. “If this odor study finds that they’re the source of the smell, I’m afraid they’ll just challenge the results and we’ll have to

start all over again, which is why the only alternative that I can see is to take them to court.” Davis hopes that media coverage of this issue will reach area residents who might be impacted by the odor and not even know it, so that they could join in the suit. “We’re going by the property laws on the loss of use due to nuisance odors, that are on the books but that nobody seems to want to enforce,” Davis said. Phone and email contacts for both Hageman and Johnson are listed on the “Citizens for a Smell Free Snohomish County” website at http://freemarysville.blogspot.com.

MARYSVILLE — After three years of crying foul, Marysville’s Mike Davis has decided that he’s had enough of the odor that’s lingered in his life for far too long. The co-founder of “Citizens for a Smell Free Snohomish County” has joined other area residents in hiring attorneys, on a contingency fee basis, to investigate filing a civil lawsuit for damages against Cedar Grove Composting. Todd Hageman and Zak Johnson are the two attorneys whose contact information is listed on the website for “Citizens for a Smell Free Snohomish County,”

and Hageman took time to explain to The Marysville Globe the stage at which the legal proceedings are in at the moment. “We haven’t filed yet,” Hageman said. “We’re still just investigating, and we could be for a matter of weeks or even months.” According to Hageman, he and Johnson are investigating to determine whether Davis and his fellow prospective plaintiffs would be able to meet the burden of proof for a suit against Cedar Grove, whose Smith Island facility in Everett is believed by Davis and several other area residents to be the source of a foul odor that’s hindered their ability to enjoy their own property

Kids can get photos with Santa

MARYSVILLE — Marysville boys and girls will not only have a chance to write letters to Santa Claus this year, but will also be able to have their photos taken with him on Saturday, Dec. 1, courtesy of the Marysville Historical Society. Pictures with Santa will

be taken for $10 each at the Marysville Mall, in the foyer of the former Gottschalks, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the same Saturday as “Merrysville for the Holidays,” while the Marysville Historical Society’s location at 1508B Third St. will once again sport a big red mailbox where kids can drop off their

letters to Santa. “It looks like Santa’s elves have been at it again this year, because there’s a big red mailbox in front of our building again,” Cage said. “You can’t miss it.” Cage promised the boys and girls of Marysville that, if their letters included their return addresses, Santa

would take the time to write them back, just as he’s done for hundreds of area children in years past. “Mail takes about three days to get from here to the North Pole, and another three days to get back, so as long as they get their letters in by Dec. 19, they should get a response,” Cage said.

Marysville firefighters collect for food bank MARYSVILLE — Marysville firefighters and Santa plan to gather food again this year for the Marysville Community Food Bank. They will be at the Marysville Safeway store, located at 1258 State Ave., from 3-7 p.m. on Dec. 5-7,

and they invite members of the community to stop by and say, “Hi.” During this time of year, the Marysville Community Food Bank relies even more than usual on the community’s spirit of giving to ensure that families can celebrate the holiday season. Without the community’s generous support, families in need will have a hard time celebrating the holiday season. Santa will be at the Safeway with candy canes for kids and adults alike, while he and the firefighters gladly accept donations of food, unwrapped toys or cash.

said. “It’s not about dictating. We communicate with each other. A lot of our success owes to that tone.” Nyland agreed with Nation that the Board of the Year distinction is a sign that the MSD Board has “turned a corner” compared to where it was when he was first selected as the district’s superintendent in 2004. “This represents a lot of hard work, by everyone from the teachers and the administrators to the secretaries and the bus drivers,” Nyland said. “This Board has always asked for more data and asked, ‘What more can we do?’ To be more connected to the community, they’ve made sure that at least one or two Board members have attended each school district event. They’ve served omelettes to students at Liberty Elementary, and

Nyland and Board President Chris Nation agreed that this designation honors not only the Board itself — which also includes Vice President Wendy Fryberg and directors Dr. Tom Albright, Cindy Erickson and Pete Lundberg — but also the district as a whole, including its parents and community. “As a Board, we sit down and ask ourselves how our decisions will affect student achievement and success down the line,” Nation said. “We maintain that focus as we discuss the issues. Everyone gets heard from and we make sure to reach consensus.” Nation credited the schools’ faculty and staff with being every bit as invested as the Board in

seeing all students graduate on time, which he touted as yielding increased student engagement in the classroom. “Other people might not see that yet, but we see it every day,” Nation said. “Everyone’s dedication is humbling to us. This truly is a team effort. The schools can’t do it alone. Our community has supported us as well, whether through volunteer time, financial donations or just getting their kids to class. Everyone’s taking responsibility here.” While the Board of the Year distinction seeks to honor school boards that demonstrate understanding of their leadership roles and follow through on their responsibilities, Nation also praised Nyland for his own leadership. “We have a great rapport with Dr. Nyland,” Nation

THE SPORTS PAGE M-P’s Nobach has stellar season The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — For Kyle Nobach, a senior at MarysvillePilchuck High School, finishing up the Tomahawks’ football season was difficult, simply because he didn’t want it to end. “It’s been really fun, it’s the greatest time of my life,” he said. The 2012 season was his best, as the Tomahawks wide receiver managed 557 receiving yards, the second most in the league, with five touchdowns. His junior season was also very successful with 16 receptions, 520 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Before his high school career made him a success, Nobach was just a kid who loved football. “I used to watch football on TV with my dad,” he said. “I started playing the soonest you can start, 6 or 7 years old.” After years in area youth football leagues, Nobach started playing for middle school and eventually the select team of the Marysville Knights, where they played against top athletes from around the league and even other leagues. “Then I played all four years at M-P,” he said. “I was in JV as a freshman and then a starter as a sophomore.” Nobach recalls the first time he started as a varsity player. He was on the JV roster, but had to fill in

for another athlete who couldn’t play. “I was nervous at first,” he said. “But it’s Friday Night Lights, it’s a great feeling. After awhile, I got a lot more comfortable with what I was doing on the field.” For Nobach, his senior year was the best. “Overall, the season was really good. The senior class did a really good job, and we played two or three weeks longer than everyone else. It was really successful.” Some of his teammates are in conversation with universities but Nobach, who also plays baseball, is still undecided about his future. “If I don’t play football for someone, I’m hoping go to Central Washington University for a fouryear chemistry degree. Chemistry is hard, it’s a challenge and I like that.” Nobach is currently enrolled in Advanced Placement chemistry, as well as two other college-level classes. He is thankful for the opportunity to play football for Marysville-Pilchuck. “I think that the coaches at M-P are really good coaches,” he said. “They work their butts off. They are staying hours after practice and doing what needs to be done. The offensive coaches and the defensive coaches both are really great. I’m so sad that this season is over and we had to hand in our gear, but I really enjoyed playing.”

Gooding’s Guide To Fitness

November 28, 2012

Exercise and Housework — What they really have in common ANGIE GOODING I’m not a good housekeeper. There, I said it. My first issue is clutter. For the last four years, I’ve had clients coming in and out of my house for their sessions. To get to my studio, they have to come in my front door, into my entry way, and then find their way to my studio; during this process, they can see a bit into my kitchen and dining room. In preparation for my afternoon clients, it often goes like this: “Kids!” I scream, “Throw your stuff into the living room so clients can’t see it!” My second issue is denial. Sometimes, because I don’t spend the time necessary to keep my house clean, I avoid the issue. I see the piles and the dirty dishes and all the other things that I could do that would clean it up — but I just don’t want to. I’d rather be doing anything else ... except for housework. I put it off, tell myself I have other things I could be doing, and just plain avoid it. Instead, I’ll read a book, go for a run, check email for the billionth time, or work. I’ll do anything but clean the house. But then, when the house is beyond what I can handle, I will get a wild hair, and I’ll clean my house from top to bottom. I’ll clean the bathrooms, the kitchen, will scrub the bathtubs, the windows, the floors. I’ll declutter and

organize and while doing so, I’ll realize just how much I enjoy cleanliness and order. But you know what I recognize even more so? The fact that I do this for my family. As I wash the windows, I’ll glace and see pictures of my family, some of the memories, and remember that cleaning the house is a part of loving and caring for them. The love and effort I put into keeping the house clean is a part of the service I offer as a loving person, mom and wife. And I notice things — I notice the artwork on my daughter’s desk, I see the family pictures, and the memories we’ve made. I also realize just how lucky I am to have a house to clean. Don’t get me wrong — I do not believe that it’s a woman’s work to do housework, but it has to be someone’s. And it doesn’t need to be stressful. It doesn’t need to take over. It, like exercise or eating well or drinking water, is something that I just do (many times, with my husband’s help). And this effort I make in my home, just like exercising or eating well, pays off. If I keep up with housework and laundry, it doesn’t seem so overwhelming. It doesn’t pile up, become seemingly impossible, and doesn’t daunt me and cause me to enter into a self-pitying state of denial (ha!). Caring for a house is much

to start. Stop putting it off, and don’t let your health or body image concerns pile up so high that it’s daunting and discouraging to even start. And then, when you’ve started be sure and celebrate — notice your successes — the big ones and the small ones. Sometimes, after cleaning the house, I sit and enjoy a glass of wine. Cheers.

Name: Wednesday Animal ID: 17516793 Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Age: 2 Years 1 Month Gender: Female Color: Black & White Spayed/Neutered: Yes I am a vibrant young lass that would like a family to keep me on my feet with activity. Since I'm young I have a lot more energy left in me. Bring your kids to meet me, I will probably like them and will want to snuggle since I am a sweet and playful. I may not like other cats. I do have long hair so I would need to be groomed when needed. In return I can brush your hair too, with my paws :)

Name: Moose Animal ID: 17885270 Breed: Border Collie/Newfoundland Age: 6 Years Gender: Male Color: Black & White Spayed/Neutered: Yes Moose is an active fellow and would love to take long walks or a jog around the block daily with you. This is not a couch potato dog! He doesn't especially like car rides, but enjoys playing with other dogs. If you have a dog, a meet & greet is required. He has never been around cats. Children must be 8 or older and willing to be active in Moos's training.

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