Sherman Pruitt’s face lit up with each child that stopped by his table. “Hey, how you doing?” Pruitt greeted them, before offering them candy and heatsensitive pencils that change color. “You want some Scooby snacks? Give me a highfive!” Pruitt is a powerfully built man who easily towers over even the tallest of children and adults alike, but for the past three National Nights Out Against Crime in the Marysville and Tulalip communities, he’s made a habit of hunching over to try and meet curious kids at their eye-level, all while grinning nearly ear-to-ear. “The great thing about the National Night Out is that we get to talk to these kids, and they get to see us in a whole different light, SEE CRIME, PAGE 2

LAKEWOOD — Oscar Escalante and Michael Blank are leading in the race for the Lakewood School District Director District 1 position, as of 5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8. “I will have to be talking with the voters,” said Escalante, who received 742 votes or 41.57 percent of total votes counted. “I feel that people in the community have been watching the work that’s been done in Lakewood.” Escalante believes that his track record of work within the district has helped garner support for him, while Blank believes that his new ideas and fresh perspective are what drew so many votes. “I think it’s time for fresh blood and new ideas,” said Blank, who received

672 votes or 37.65 percent of the total votes counted in his first election. “Who knows, maybe people are saying ‘Thank you for your work for the last 12 years but let’s bring in someone new.’” Blank said his ideas on how to build the new high school facility simply make sense to the voters — to save money and reroute those dollars into teachers’ salaries. Escalante is hoping that his proven ability to improve the district will draw support. “There are voters there who are showing that support based on my previous work,” he said. “It’s good to notice that, because it only reassures that my commitment to the district is ultimately to serve our kids. That’s the bottom line, to serve our students. Parents have seen SEE LWSD, PAGE 12

CRIME FROM PAGE 1 rather than just when we’re responding to incidents,” Pruitt said on Tuesday, Aug. 6, as Comeford Park in Marysville hosted this year’s Night Out. “We want kids and adults both to know that members of law enforcement are approachable, because we’re members of the community, just like them.” One difference between law enforcement and regular citizens that the former were only too happy to show off was their toys, as Marysville Police Sgt. Rick Sparr invited children to check out the interior of an armored car

The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe

and showed them how to work the remote controls of a small robot, equipped with all-terrain treads and a realtime video camera, enclosed in a protective transparent dome, that can be aimed in virtually any direction. “The tracks let it climb up stairs,” Sparr told a group of children who had crowded around him, while showing them the camera’s video feed on the remote control. “The robot’s view lets us clear areas of buildings without having to put our guys in any danger.” At the same time, the Marysville Volunteer Program aimed to show that even ordinary seniors can supplement law enforcement

efforts, as MVP supervisor Ron Wagner listed its duties as including checks of houses, schools and businesses, as well as patrols of schools and parking spaces, the latter to ensure that handicapped spots aren’t being stolen, and even looking out for illegal signs. “Illegal signs are a huge issue,” said Wagner, who estimated that the MVP’s current membership numbers 16, and wouldn’t mind adding six more members to the group. “Garage sale signs, business signs or any other types of signs are not allowed on telephone poles or stop signs. It’s against the municipal code and it can run you a $250 fine.”

The MVP’s members also volunteer for security and traffic control, for community events as varied as the Marysville Strawberry Festival and Street Festival, and their arsenal now includes both a radar gun and a speed trailer. “It’s a good reason to get out of the house,” said Daryl Moses, the longest-standing member of the current MVP, having joined in 2000. “You don’t want to vegetate. This keeps us busy.” Snohomish County Deputy Sheriff Brandon McCullar thanked the Tulalip Tribes for contributing enough “Pennies for Puppies” to fund the two tracking dogs, 7-year-old

“We want kids and adults both to know that members of law enforcement are approachable, because we’re members of the community, just like them.” Sgt. Sherman Pruitt Tulalip Tribal Police Lidar and 3-year-old Jack, whose skills he and Deputy Jim Gibson demonstrated that afternoon. “These aren’t mean dogs,” McCullar said. “Their primary focus is as a location tool, but they do have the ability to bite, to apprehend a suspect. If a suspect flees on foot, these dogs are our only tool to locate them, through their sense of smell. We train them to bite on the sleeve, which is their favorite toy, and not on the leg or anywhere else. They’re the only use of force that we can recall, if the suspect surrenders.” Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe visited half a dozen Nights Out Against Crime throughout the county on Aug. 6, including those in Marysville, Arlington and Smokey Point. “What I’m noticing is a lot more neighborhood Nights Out, which is cool to see,” Roe said at Comeford Park that afternoon. “A number of individual housing developments are staging their own Nights Out, which gives people who have lived on the same blocks for years a chance to get to know each other.” Roe also singled out the partnership between the Marysville and Tulalip communities for praise, noting

that their annual Nights Out Against Crime alternate between Comeford Park in Marysville and the Tulalip Amphitheatre. “The relationship between the Tulalip Tribes and local law enforcement would be the envy of communities everywhere,” Roe said. “Of course, the best law enforcement is your neighbors. If you see something suspicious going on in your neighborhood, don’t assume someone else has already called it in.” Ryan and Allira Nielsen have lived in the Marysville and Arlington areas all their lives, but this year marked their first Night Out Against Crime, primarily due to the family they’ve just recently started together. “We wanted to give these little guys something fun to do, and maybe learn some stuff for ourselves,” said Ryan Nielsen, who reported that their two sons enjoyed eating free hot dogs from the Marysville Kiwanis Club, getting kid-sized firefighter hats and sitting on Washington State Patrol motorcycles. “We grabbed some emergency preparation pamphlets, to help make our home safer. Everything here tonight is designed to help you help yourself and those around you.”

Klein, Blake lead in County Council District 1 race

lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Ken Klein and Bill Blake were leading in the primary election race for Snohomish County Council District 1 according to preliminary results released as of 5 p.m. on Aug. 8, by the Snohomish County Elections Office. “I’m very excited to know how well we did,” said Klein, who was leading the race with 6,304 votes or 32.37 percent. “We did better than projected and it’s a hardfought race. I’m glad we are going to have a clear election.” The top two candidates in each race advance to the general election on Nov. 5. “I think people like my message,” said Blake, who was just behind Klein with 5,461 votes or 28.04 percent. “Throughout all the different interviews, articles and forums that I’ve done, I see that people are really responding to the idea of increasing the natural resources economy and opportunities in this county. People see that I’ve completed a lot of projects and when I have an idea, I follow through.” Gary Wright, with 4,749 votes or 24.39 percent, trailed behind Klein and Blake, and was surprised at the outcome of the primary. “I believe it’s surprising, but not shocking,” he said. “I thought we would have a higher percentage at this

point. We could still gain some as the votes come in, so I am not going to say it’s all over for certain.” Carsten Mullin received 1,741 votes or 8.94 percent and is happy to continue volunteering for the city of Arlington. “It’s looking like it will be an election between Bill and Ken,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a huge surprise — both will do well for Snohomish County. Right now, I enjoy volunteering with the city of Arlington — with baseball and the Parks, Arts and

Recreation Commission, and volunteering as a coach of my daughter’s soccer and basketball team at the Boys & Girls Club — so I think I will continue to do that.” Klein and Blake will be focusing on spreading their message to the voters as the general election nears. “I’m basically just keeping the same message,” said Klein. “We’ve been saying the same thing from the beginning — we are focusing on economic growth by creating a positive environment for businesses in

Snohomish County and I want people to have confidence in the county on that level. We also want to do something about property rights — make it easier for people to use their property rather than going through so many government hoops. This will make it easier for people to farm on their land.”

Blake is interested in hearing from community members on issues that are important to them. “At this point, I want to be available to listen to the public and hear what they are looking for in a county council member,” said Blake. “I think people trust me because I have worked from the bottom up. I want

to listen and also share ideas on diversity in economic growth.” Libertarian candidate Sean Olson received 1,132 votes or 5.81 percent. Although the election took place on Aug. 6, the county will not verify the election until Aug. 20 and the state will verify it on Aug. 23.

Investments in transportation network keep Marysville moving forward

hen you think of summer, road projects and traffic cones probably aren’t the first images that come to mind, but several projects have been completed this season or will be in the months ahead that will make your drive in Marysville more pleasant and convenient. Summer and early fall are busy times for our Street Department. Crews are able to take advantage of the drier conditions to complete much needed road maintenance and repairs. Here are some projects that have just been completed this summer or are on the schedule that you should see happening in the coming months: ■ Among the more visible street projects, Public Works Street Crews and contractor Fidalgo Paving and Construction last week completed the 51st Avenue NE shoulder improvements and asphalt overlay between Grove and 80th streets. The shoulder improvements tie into existing sidewalks, creating a more continuous route for pedestrians and improving overall safety for road users. The asphalt overlay will repair the cracked, aging roadway with a smoother ride. The project required “digouts;” in other words, repairing the worst sections of the road down to beneath the asphalt where the sub-base has failed, which leads to severe cracking, potholes and a rough ride. Digout repairs can be costly due to equipment and time involved, and the added depth of asphalt requiring replacement. The city saved on these costs by performing these repairs using city crews. ■ 10th Street sidewalk (Beach to Cedar) project — Street crews and contractor Reece Trucking and Excavating in July installed sidewalks the south side of 10th Street accessing the Marysville Boys & Girls Club, and built bulbout sidewalk ramps at 10th and Cedar. The project was funded

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

through the city’s Community Development Block Grant fund. ■ State Avenue overlay from 92nd Street to 100th Street — This project got under way a couple of weeks ago to complete a full structure dig-out and asphalt over lay of this five-lane segment of State from 92nd north to 100th Street. The actual overlay will occur overnight, and businesses will be accessible during the project, with minimal disruption. The project is funded up to $450,000 in federal grant funds, with construction completed at the end of September. ■ 27th Avenue from 169th Street to 172nd Street — widening of 27th/traffic signal at 169th — significant work will get underway toward the end of the year by the developer building a 240-unit Villas at Lakewood apartment condominiums complex adjacent to Costco and Lakewood Crossing. The project will widen portions of 27th, add frontage improvements and more street lighting, as well as a traffic signal at the intersection of 169th, which is currently a four-way stop. ■ Traffic signal — 53rd Avenue and SR 528 — A federally-funded new traffic signal will be installed at 53rd Avenue and SR 528 nearby and across from the Jennings Nature Park entrance. The signal should be operational by the end of the year. ■ Traffic signal — 55th Avenue and 88th Street — The city is hoping to install a new traffic signal at 55th Avenue and SEE NEHRING, PAGE 5 THE MARYSVILLE

MSD budget status 2013-14

have heard a passing comment or two recently indicating that many of us, inside and outside of education, think that since the legislature didn’t cut us again this year — that all is well. My response to that is that all is definitely “better,” but unfortunately, we are not there yet. A little background... Since 2004, our allocated funding from state and federal resources has decreased steadily. This was in direct response to the problems in our economy, and loss of state revenues. We do realize this hit many of our local businesses, our local government and support services, and families equally hard. What that meant to the school district is that we not only had increasing unfunded mandates put upon us by legislation, (new layers of required testing, new learning standards, increased graduation requirements, and new teacher and principal evalu-

GUEST OPINION BECKY BERG ation systems for example), as well as increased costs to serve our students, and purchasing materials and services whose prices had increased due to inflation. We were asked to do far more — with far less. We made necessary cuts that went to the bone in order to balance the books. Charging participation fees for athletics, cutting time allocated to maintain grounds and facilities, cutting time to staff our libraries, putting off curriculum adoption, cutting training for teachers, and cutting pay for employees, cutting 20 teachers and increasing class size for kinder-

garten through third grade are just a few examples of the very difficult decisions we had to make. Amidst this economic turmoil, the legislature was found “guilty by the Washington State Supreme Court of significantly underfunding even a basic education — which is unconstitutional in our state. In an unprecedented move, the Washington State Supreme Court not only made this decision, but retained jurisdiction over the case to ensure that the legislature fulfill its constitutional duties, (for more information go to: http:// waschoolexcellence.org/the-mcclearycase/). So what did the Legislature decide? The Court ruled that K-12 education in our state must be fully funded by 2018. Therefore, the minimum amount over this two-year budgeting SEE BERG, PAGE 5

The importance of Early Learning Washington State’s Early Learning Plan is a renewed effort to improve the services for our youngest learners. The vision statement, developed in 2010 as a collaborative effort between state and local stakeholders, captures the overarching purpose of the Washington State Early Learning Plan. “In Washington, we work together so that all children start life with a solid foundation for success based on strong families and a world-class early learning system for all children prenatal through third grade. Accessible, accountable, and developmentally and culturally appropriate, our system partners with families to ensure that every child is healthy, capable, and confident in school and in life.” The principles of the Washington State Early Learning Plan are grounded in research and are designed to serve all children from prenatal through third grade. The plan calls for schools, government agencies, health care providers, private child-

GUEST OPINION TERRI BOOKEY care providers, and community groups to come together to build a comprehensive, accessible early learning system that will serve families and children in all capacities. As a district, we are working diligently to address our areas of responsibility. District goals include increasing communication with families, strengthening partnerships with community childcare and healthcare providers, continual staff professional development, improving identification of children who qualify for birth to 5 programs, and aligning prekindergarten through third grade instructional and programmatic practices. In addition to serving our

kindergarten through third grade students, the district has the following services available for our birth to 5-year-old population. ■ APPLE Preschool (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program) — the primary goal of the program is to help children and families get ready for kindergarten. Children are accepted into the program based on age and family income. ■ Birth to 3 Special Programs — the district contracts with area providers to support children under the age of 3 who qualify for Special Education services. ■ Developmental Preschool — housed at Presidents Elementary, this district-wide program serves preschoolers, ages 3 and older that qualify under state guidelines for Special Education services. These services may include academics, social-emotional, speech and language, as well as SEE BOOKEY, PAGE 5

NEHRING FROM PAGE 4 88th Street, with construction estimated for Spring 2014. The project is funded through a state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant. While these investments will go a long way toward providing increased safety, reducing traffic congestion and creating a more efficient roadway system — not to mention jobs, our momentum hasn’t slowed on acquiring funding for the large-scale projects so vital to Marysville and Tulalip’s burgeoning transportation network. During this year’s Legislative session, I made several trips to Olympia, pounding the pavement to rally support for key transportation investments in our region, most notably for I-5 Interchange improvements at SR 529, 156th and 116th Street. Complete funding for the 116th interchange and partial funding for the SR 529 and 156th interchanges were included in a $10 billion transportation package that ultimately failed to gain passage during a special session called by the Governor in June. We were disappointed by the outcome, but not deterred. For anyone who drives these routes below, you know their importance and value. n SR 529/I-5 Interchange — The project would complete the current half interchange by building a new I-5 northbound off-ramp onto SR 529 and new southbound on-ramps

from SR 529 to I-5, a project that would significantly help mitigate the impacts of any increased freight train traffic resulting from the proposed Cherry Point Coal Export Facility in Whatcom County, if that happens. Regardless, this project would help ease overall traffic congestion downtown especially during peak hours. n 156th/I-5 overpass on-off ramps — This project would add on- and off-ramps to the existing bridge that opened in 2012. n 116th Street/I-5 Interchange — this project led by our partner, Tulalip Tribes, would replace the existing three-lane bridge with a full standard six-lane bridge Single Point Urban Interchange. The first two projects require Interchange Justification Reports (IJRs), a document required by Federal Highway Administration officials to demonstrate the need for any project that proposes a new interchange or new access ramps on an interstate. An IJR is a critical early step in getting these built, and equally important, enables us to pursue state and federal funds necessary to get the job done. These public investments in Marysville’s transportation infrastructure improve safety, ease traffic congestion, support economic opportunity and local businesses, provide jobs, and perhaps most importantly to you, make your daily drive more convenient.

BERG FROM PAGE 4 cycle needed to be $1.4 billion to $1.9 billion if full funding in 2018 is ever to be a reality. The legislature did begin to fulfill its obligations this year. It must be noted that our local legislators — Representatives McCoy, Larsen, Hope and Hobbs — fought the good fight on our behalf. After the regular legislative session, and two additional special sessions, our elected officials in Olympia passed a budget on June 28. Unfortunately, the legislature came up short on their payment plan at just under $1 billion statewide. This means that the Marysville School District will be funded at

the level it was in 2010, with increased unfunded statewide mandates and increased inflationary costs. We are thankful that more of our non-instructional costs such as insurance, supplies and materials will be funded by the state rather than using levy dollars. Pay cuts for employees are being restored by the state, transportation will be supported at a higher level and schools most impacted by poverty will be able to have all day kindergarten programs and/or more first and second grade teachers. We are indeed going in the right direction toward fully funding basic education but the state has a ways to go to meet the mandate to fully fund schools by 2018. What are the next steps for the Marysville School

BOOKEY FROM PAGE 4 both occupational and physical therapy. There is little dispute about the importance of investing in early learning and the long-term outcomes that result. Scientists have proven that the human brain develops more rapidly between birth and age five than during any other subsequent period. Capitalizing on this window of opportunity and exposing young children to constant and varied experiences is very likely to set the course for a successful school career and beyond. Outside of formal preschool experiences, there are many things parents can

BBQ competition returns to Smokey Point kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — After its first community barbecue cook-off last year, the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is offering its first cook-off sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association

this year, in conjunction with its second annual community barbecue cook-off and marketplace street fair from Aug. 16-18, at the intersection of 172nd Street NE and 51st Avenue. Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber, explained that Friday, Aug. 16, and

Saturday, Aug. 17, would be devoted to the sanctioned cook-off, while Sunday, Aug. 18, would be set aside for the community cookoff. As of Wednesday, Aug. 7, the sanctioned cook-off had already recruited 14 cooks, and will be accepting entries until they reach 20 cooks,

or until Aug. 16. The sanctioned cooks will be competing by Pacific Northwest BBQ Association rules, in the categories of pork butt, brisket, chicken and pork ribs, to win grand champion, reserve champion and first- through seventh-place awards, adding up to $4,000 in total prizes. “If we get 15 teams, the winners will automatically be qualifiers for the American Royal barbecue competition, and will be dropped into consideration for the Jack Daniels

Invitational,” Harmon said. “Some of the cooks will be offering barbecue bites, of two ounces for a dollar, except ribs, which will go for $2 for two ounces, because it’s priced by how expensive those cuts of meat are.” Harmon hopes to have between 8-10 teams signed up for the community cookoff, although only three were signed up as of Aug. 7, since last-minute registrations are not uncommon. “Some of our professional cooks will be sticking around

on Sunday, after their own barbecues have been judged in the sanctioned cook-off on Saturday, to help mentor the community cooks,” Harmon said. “They’ll be giving tips on how to use sauces and presentation to keep the meat fresh and tasty, so that some of those community cooks can move onto the sanctioned cookoff, if they so choose.” For more information on the Smokey Point BBQ Cook-Off and Marketplace, log onto www.arlingtonsmokeypointchamber.com.

Marysville Junior Tennis wraps up season BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — For local high school tennis players, it can be difficult to stay fresh on tennis skills during the summer months. Marysville Parks and Recreation offers the junior tennis team, which allows middle and high school aged players to play competitive tennis against other regional clubs and teams. “This is my eighth summer coaching for the junior team, and my 20th summer as a tennis instructor for the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department,” said coach Arnie Moreno, who has been a teacher and tennis coach at the varsity level for Shorewood High School for 15 years. “I come back every summer. I love doing it. There wasn’t much here for kids as far as tennis goes. I really wanted to grow the program down here and make it fun for kids and adults as well.” This year’s juniors team had 12 players from Marysville, Lakewood and Lake Stevens. “Some of these kids have been with the team now for their third or fourth year in a row and they are really

coming along,” said Moreno. “Last year I would have said that they are really young and need developing, but this year they are certainly improving.” Some of the junior tennis team players also play at the high school level. “I’ve watched these kids really develop, and now they are starting to play at the varsity level for their high schools, so that’s really the whole purpose of this team — to provide a place where they can play competitively and work on their skills so they can go back to their school and apply them,” said Moreno. “The coach is awesome. He is so nice and he takes care of the kids,” said Masae Ciferri, mother of MG sophomore Marina Ciferri. “She started two years ago on this team, and now she is the varsity first singles player at MG.” Christine Mair signed her son, Chance, up for tennis and found that it kept him active and helped his other school sport — bowling. “Chance has been playing with Coach Arnie since fifth grade,” said Mair. “It’s funny because every time he plays tennis, his bowling game improves. It really

helps. And it’s nice to have this team in the summer so he’s not spending his days inside playing video games. We are a small club, but I like that they can travel and compete against other clubs in the area.” M-P’s Connor Gross is in his first year as a member of the team, but played at the high school level last season. “I’ve done lessons since I was little, but this is my first year competing on the team,” said Gross. “I like that it’s fun and the people and Coach Arnie are awesome. I played school tennis last year and I didn’t do very well, so I think being on this team before school starts will really help me a lot.” Some players are just looking to keep their skills fresh for the start of the school tennis season. “When I was in ninth grade, I had a P.E. teacher who recommended this club to me,” said Faith Mayberry, of Lake Stevens High School. “I did lessons first and I’ve been on this team for three years now. It definitely helps me stay ready for the tennis season.” For more information on Marysville Parks and Recreation tennis lessons, call 360-363-8400.

Parks and Rec summer softball in full swing BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Kyle Pace, of Mike’s Machines, a recreational co-ed softball team, runs to first during a game on Aug. 7.

MARYSVILLE — For former high school athletes or adults just looking to stay fit in the summer, the Marysville Parks and Recreation summer softball leagues are a popular opportunity for adults to stay sharp in their sport. The Parks and Rec department hosts a spring league and summer league. Summer league opportunities include a Wednesday night co-ed league, a Sunday co-ed league and a Monday men’s recreational league. There are four Wednesday co-ed teams, nine Sunday co-ed teams and four men’s teams. “We’ve had consistent interest in our summer softball leagues every year,” said Marysville Parks

and Recreation Athletic Director Dave Hall. The season lasts for 10 weeks, with a single elimination playoff tournament at the end of the summer. “I think it is good for a lot of these adults to play the game. Most of the men who are playing on our teams played baseball in high school and even college. Same goes for a lot of the women. They played softball as a kid, or in high school and college. It’s just a way for them to stay in the sport as an adult.” Marysville Parks and Rec does not offer any fall sports league for adults, however those interested in being involved in community athletics can volunteer as a coach for one of the kids’ fall leagues. “The big thing that I’m always pushing in the

fall is our youth basketball league,” said Hall. “Registration is open now for youth basketball, but they don’t start playing until November or December and it goes throughout the winter. Registration for Marysville Parks and Recreation Youth Basketball League ends Oct. 4. “Our youth basketball league is huge. It’s been going on for a long time,” said Hall. “We offer opportunities for both boys and girls, but they don’t play each other. It goes from first through eighth grade, so we have a first-grade girls’ team and a first-grade boys’ team, and so on.” Hall estimates that the league draws more than 800 local players each year. “We have a lot of vol-

Kloz 4 Kidz Director Lynn Brittingham sizes up some donated shirts before hanging them on their racks for area children in need.

Kloz 4 Kidz celebrates fifth anniversary kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Kloz 4 Kidz is celebrating its fifth anniversary of providing new and gently used clothing to children in need in North Snohomish County on Sunday, Aug. 18, and its volunteers plan to make a full-fledged birthday party out of the affair. “We’re going to have cake and coffee and balloons,” Kloz 4 Kidz Director Lynn Brittingham said of the event, which will take place at their portable offices at 5600 64th St. NE, behind the Marysville United Methodist Church. “People can bring us birthday presents of new socks and underwear.” Socks and underwear must always be donated new, while shoes can be donated used. According to Brittingham, shoes are one of the least donated, most in-demand items at

Kloz 4 Kidz, whose volunteers diligently clean used shoes and all other used items of donated clothing before placing them on their shelves and racks. “We wash and mend everything,” Brittingham said. “We will not put out clothes that are missing a zipper or a button. If we wouldn’t hand it out to our own kids, we won’t give it to the families who come to us.” The Kloz 4 Kidz volunteers’ responsiveness to their client families’ needs is why their informational pamphlets and website are available in both English and Spanish, and why they take care that at least one volunteer is available to escort each child through their selection of clothing items, even when families have multiple children. “Nobody here is paid,” Brittingham said. “We pay for a phone line and that’s pretty much it. We depend

on donations and grants to exist.” In addition to receiving support from the Mar ysville United Methodist, Bethlehem Lutheran and Mountain View Presbyterian churches, Brittingham also praised Clock Tower Storage for providing storage space for out-of-season clothing, the local chapters of Kiwanis and Soroptimists with providing monies, and the Marysville Noon Rotary with funding Kloz 4 Kidz’s purchases of new shoes. “This is a very collaborative effort,” Brittingham said, sharing credit with her fellow Kloz 4 Kidz Board members. “As of Aug. 6, we’d served 2,651 area children. On Aug. 7, we served eight more. It really does take a village.” For more information on Kloz 4 Kidz’s fifth anniversary, or the group in general, call 360-658-1021 or log onto http://kloz4kidz.org.

Marysville’s ‘Strawberry Jam’ debuts Aug. 22 MARYSVILLE — The

Marysville Alfy’s Pizza has been so accommodating in hosting the MarysvillePilchuck High School Life Skills Program’s monthly open mic pizza parties that M-PHS Life Skills teacher Jim Strickland decided that he wanted to offer an evening of participatory musical entertainment for everyone there.

As such, Strickland is inviting the entire community to the first-ever Marysville acoustic “Strawberry Jam” and open mic on Thursday, Aug. 22, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Alfy’s. “I enjoy playing the guitar myself, and I look at music as a way for us to share with each other and learn from each other,” Strickland said.

Strickland praised Kayla Jamieson, manager of the Marysville Alfy’s, for being willing to host another community event for him, and credited Deric Dobesh and Ryan Laffin, co-owners of Bigfoot Music in Smokey Point, with helping him spread the word about this event to fellow local musicians.

“I love the arts for allowing us to express who we are and what’s important to us,” said Strickland, who noted that Marysville Arts Coalition President Beckye Randall has also been supportive of the “Strawberry Jam.” “Music gets a response out of people. If an event is music-related, people will think it’s worth their time.”

Whether the “Strawberry Jam” becomes a regular event will depend on the turnout. Strickland hopes to see plenty of people there, whether they’re bringing musical instruments to share songs, or they’re just hanging out to listen to other performers. Call Strickland at 425870-1631 for more information.

I believe that’s what is helping me.” The newfound competition is a change to the district race, which rarely sees opposition between candidates. “I’m hoping that my views are going to resonate with the general public,” said Blank. “This is the first in four elections that he’s had an opponent, but I think it’s always a good thing to have competition, because it gives the voters options.” It is in fact the first time in 12 years that Escalante has run against another candidate in the district race. “This is unprecedented,” he said. “We have never had this in Lakewood School District that I know of, and I have always run unopposed, so I am not familiar with campaigning either.” Despite not being used to the opposition, Escalante is welcoming the change. “It is good because I believe as a district we need to hear from our residents and the community,” he said. “He has an interest to serve the community and that’s what we both want — to work for our community.” Lionel ‘Pete’ Espinoza also ran for the position and trailed Escalante and Blank with 354 votes or 19.83 percent of total votes counted. The top two candidates will advance to the general election on Nov. 5.

A LITTLE WARMTH GOES A LONG WAY

Highland Christian School Board members Rick Poortinga, left, and Nola Smith unfurl their banner in front of one of the Cascade Christian Reformed Church buildings in Marysville which will house their students this fall.

Highland Christian moves to new locations BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

When the 2012-13 school year ended, the K-12 students of Highland Christian School all occupied the same campus, in the old Arlington High School building, but when the 2013-14 school year starts this fall, the K-5 students of Highland Christian School will be going to the Arlington Assembly of God Church, while the school’s grades 6-12 students will head off to the Cascade Christian Reformed Church of Marysville. “Ideally, we would have

been able to accommodate everyone in one location, but we couldn’t find anyplace big enough for us,” said Rick Poortinga, vice president of the Highland Christian School Board and president of the Cascade Christian Reformed Church Council. “For 10 years, we were spoiled by that old high school.” “We wanted to stay in Arlington, and the city wanted us to stay,” said Nola Smith, a member of the Highland Christian School and Arlington Assembly of God Church boards. “There

are at least three areas in Arlington that could be available, that wouldn’t need to be rezoned to accommodate us, but in the meantime, we’re now spoiled for indoor gymnasium space in ways that we weren’t at the old high school.” Poortinga and Smith agreed not only that both Highland Christian Schools would be fully moved into their new locations and ready to start the new school year on Sept. 4, but also that the move out of the old high school building has been a blessing in disguise for them. “Highland Christian School is not a building,” Poortinga said. “It’s a family. This forces our hand and gets us out there to aggressively try and find a new home.” “We’ve retained a strong infrastructure even after losing our building,” Smith said. “We have outstanding teachers who have raised the bar and maintained a futurefocused vision.” Highland Christian School’s students come from as near as Arlington and Marysville, and as far as Darrington and Camano Island, and the school is still accepting applications from families wishing to enroll students, by calling 360-4038351. In the meantime, Highland Christian School will bid farewell to its former digs with a garage sale at the old Arlington High School building at 135 S. French Ave., tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24. “We’ve been in that building 10 years and accumulated a lot of stuff that we won’t have room for at our new locations,” Poortinga said. “Even though we’ll be at separate campuses, we’ll still be one family,” Smith said. “We’ll be an even stronger family because we’ll have to work harder at staying connected.”
