something that Arlington and Darrington and it’s city councils and mayors have wanted to do for a long time,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert.
The United Way of Snohomish County helped lead volunteer projects across the county beginning on Sept. 23 during their annual Days of Caring. Volunteers helped clean up parks, deep cleaned retirement facilities, worked at local shelters like those from Cocoon House, and performed city beautification projects in Arlington on Sept. 27, as well as helping local horse rescue All Breed Equine Rez-Q. “This shows support for our community and allows people to be involved and that’s one of the things United Way is all about,” said Diane McLeod, administrative

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Youth in Arlington and Darrington will have more of a direct voice to their cities with the formation of youth councils for both towns. The two youth councils had their first meeting on Sept. 22. The councils are one of the initiatives being started because of the national America’s Best Communities (ABC) competition. Arlington and Darrington are currently one of the eight semi-finalists in the contest. “The ABC competition was the catalyst to get this beginning, but this is

Village Community Services held their annual Friendship Walk, Run and Car Wash on Sept. 24, which helps raise funds for programs for those living with disabilities. The 10K run, 5K run and onemile friendship walk were held by Legion Park in Arlington. Village Community Services’ mission is to support those with disabilities and is a local organization. “This is one of the really important fundraisers for us,” said Michelle Dietz, program director at Village Community Services.
The event is especially important for “Voices of the Village,” an inclusive band which provides those living with disabilities a chance to be in a band. The band is 100 percent funded by donations and fees from the members. “That’s really cool that it’s sufficient in that way,” said Dietz. They play around 40 gigs a year, she said, including community events. “And they give back, they play a lot of charity events as well,” she said. In addition, they perform weekly jam sessions in downtown Arlington. The program is important for building friendships and social re-

A large part of the contest is communities finding ways to become better. “It’s about small communities finding those resources within themselves, putting some projects together and then showing the world why we’re America’s best community,” she said. Tolbert hopes that the youth perspective is better understood with the new council. “Every Monday night [Arlington City Council and city officials] decide policy and direction, and how to spend money in the city and we don’t always get to see every aspect of it,” she said. City officials hope that a youth council will be able to provide their own opinions on how the city operates, as well as start their own initiatives and programs to improve the community. “My hope is that the youth in Arlington become engaged in city government, learn about what it means to volunteer and encourage other students or kids to get involved,” said Arlington High School Principal Will Nelson, who is one of the adult advisors for the program.

of the adult advisors, said she hopes the youth council “can think about things that will improve the community and make it a place where they would want to live and come back to,” she said. Members of the Arlington youth council said they committed to the program because they want to represent their peers. “I wanted to be a part of the council to give more voice to the youth in my community,” said youth council member Zoe Tapper. “I wanted to join the youth council to be able to involve my school and the people my age, and give them a voice in what happens and what we see in our community,” said youth council member Olivia Walker. Many are also using the opportunity to connect more with the world around them. “I wanted to be a part of the youth council just to gain experience within the community and learn more about the community and other people,” said youth council member Mikayla Beckley. “I’m a little bit nervous, just because I haven’t done anything this official before, but I’m really excited just to get started,” she said. Tolbert hopes the local youth council will provide a better way for young people in the community to be heard. “When you do participate more in local government, we’re going to be a better community for people your age,” she said. She hopes the youth council will be able to continue long after the ABC competition and the current members move on. “This will be a template so there will always be a voice for youth in the community,” she said.

State funds all-day kindergarten By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com This is the first school year that kindergarten will be free and all-day in all public elementary schools in the state of Washington. “With full-day kindergarten it just allows teachers to teach to the whole child. It’s not just about math and literacy skills now, but the emotional and social skills that are just as important for a successful student,” said Terri Bookey, director of early learning and categorical programs for the Arlington School District. Both the Marysville and Arlington school districts had some kindergarten classes funded in previous years by the state, and funded others themselves. Last year Arlington School District had three of
its elementary schools’ kindergartens funded by the state and one with money from their general fund. “During the 2014-15 school year, we had a number of schools that qualified for state-funded free all-day kindergarten,” said Emily Wicks, coordinator of communications and community relations for the Marysville School District. Cascade Elementary didn’t qualify that year. “Since it is one of our highest poverty schools, the district funded all-day kindergarten for this school with local levy dollars,” she said. Last year, almost all of Marysville’s schools were covered. Only Marshall CoOp didn’t qualify, but that school was covered by local levy dollars again. The Washington state legislature made a com-
mitment a few years ago to fully fund kindergarten, said Bookey, and have been rolling out the funds for that promise over the last few years. She said the legislature wanted to ensure a full-day kindergarten because “the research is very clear about early learning in children being important to development,” she said. Over the last few years more and more schools have been getting funded. “The state provided funds for schools on a sliding scale, poverty being the number one assessment for schools receiving these funds,” said Wicks. “This year, however, is the first year the state is funding all-day kindergarten at all of our schools and we no longer need to fill gaps with levy dollars,” she said.
In Arlington, before all-day kindergarten, kindergarten classes were two days a week and every other Friday. “That was a real issue because if we had a Monday off, sometimes the students wouldn’t come to school for five days,” she said. It was also a problem for parents as well who had a more uneven schedule and would have to deal more with daycare. Bookey said that the Arlington School District is already seeing the positive effects from last year’s students. “We’ve seen good things already for this year’s kinder students who are going into first grade. They are off to a much better start and that’s evident in their confidence and oral skills,” she said. All-day kindergarten
helps develop personal skills and problem-solving skills. The extra time allows for a better array of activities, and time for them to choose their own activities, said Bookey. “That allows them to be more of an independent learner,” she said. Wicks said the district was glad to provide all-day kindergarten when it was
needed. “Our district is incredibly proud that we have been able to provide equity for our students by ensuring each one has access to free all-day kindergarten. We’re thankful to our voters for filling in the gaps when needed, and to the state for making this a priority for the Marysville School District and school districts across state,” she said.

coordinator at the United Way of Snohomish County. McLeod said the annual event helps show the organization’s support of the community, and helps get people involved in a more hands-on way. “I am really excited about getting out there and actually have volunteers out doing the work. I think it’s gratifying to not just to give money, but actually be involved in the work,” she said. Volunteers help local organizations in a variety of ways. At the Marysville horse rescue All Breed Equine Rez-Q volunteers help with projects that would normally be too much work for the volunteer staff that run the rescue. “They come out and they paint, they dig ditches, put up fencing, cut down brush and weeds, mow the lawns and clean out the ditches,” said Dale Squeglia, president of the horse rescue. “Most of that stuff we can’t do ourselves because we’re too old or too young,” she said. Volunteers came out to help the community. “My son and I just wanted to volunteer,” said Jamie Contreras, who came with a friend to help out at the Marysville horse rescue, but had never been out to one of

I want to do it every year,” she said. Katie Hass has volunteered at Days of Caring twice before and said she likes to help out the community. “At work, we work in customer service [at Snohomish PUD] and we talk to people who are struggling financially, so it’s nice to feel like you’re helping people who aren’t so financially well off, or horses in this case that aren’t so financially well off,” she said. McLeod wanted to thank all the volunteers who come out to support the event. “Thank you to all the
volunteers and everyone who chooses to be a part of this, and all the companies who gather employee teams,” she said. “United Way is lucky to be a part of a community where people are so involved,” she said. Squeglia also wanted to thank the United Way and the volunteers who come out every year to help her horse rescue. “I’m very grateful and thankful they come here every year,” she said.

Tomahawks top Chargers in Berry Bowl 35-14 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Berry Bowl kicked off on Friday night, Sept. 23, as the Marysville Getchell Chargers and the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks met for their highly anticipated matchup. The Tomahawks started
out hot as they attacked on the ground, dominated through the air and put up a brick wall on defense. After the first half, Marysville-Pilchuck led the Chargers by a score of 21-0. The Chargers came alive in the second half as they put up 14 points and began to make some crucial stops on defense.

However, it was too late as the Tomahawks held off the Chargers on their way to a 35-14 victory. “It’s nice to get our first win of the season no matter who it is. It might be a little sweeter knowing that it was against our rival. But, I thought we did things well offensively, I thought our defense was solid. Our defensive line did a great job tonight stopping a lot of their runs and getting pressure when they went to the air. I’m happy with our performance,” said MarysvillePilchuck Head Coach Brandon Carson. Mar ysv i l le-Pi lchuck put up numbers on Friday night. Quarterback Kee-An Ballard kept his composure throughout the game as he threw for two touchdowns and no interceptions. The Tomahawks also enjoyed the duo of running backs with Galdino Fajardo and Eian Adcock. Fajardo ran for two touchdowns and
contributed on defense with a sack and a forced fumble. Adcock also ran for a long touchdown and received out of the backfield for a touchdown as well. The Chargers had some struggles finding their game early on, but a few leaders kept them in the game in the second half. Caleb Koellmer threw his lone touchdown to Charles Tait on a short 10-yard bullet along the right sideline. Michael Stewart led the rushing attack with a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Finally, Stewart and Gage Thomas led the defense as they were flying all over the field, totaling over 30 tackles on the day. “We’ve got to get healthy. I’ll be honest, I don’t even know who’s hurt and who’s not, I just know that we didn’t have our starters in there at the end of the game. When we’re throwing new guys in there, on offense and defense, I think there

Arlington spikers defeat Chargers By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com

Kirsten Phillips cuts through the defense and takes a shot on goal, one of many on the night, at Arlington High School on Sept. 22.
Eagles defeat Everett on the pitch 3-0 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington Eagles girls soccer team took on the Everett Seagulls on Sept. 22 in a match that was filled with aggressive play from beginning to end. The Eagles came out flat in the first half but managed to score one goal, on a penalty kick from Kirsten Phillips. In the second half Arlington came out firing as they outran and simply outplayed the competition. The duo of Phillips and McKenzie Buell was on fire, as Phillips scored twice more, while Buell ran the offense with clean passes and tallying a pair of assists. The Eagles finished on top of the Seagulls with a score of 3-0. “It’s a good start and I know the girls were pushing themselves to be there. We are experienced so they are counting these matches and they are doing what they need to do. You need to win at home. I think defensively we have done a really nice job of keeping our shape, supporting each other and really getting back. Offensively, we are still trying to find our groove in terms of space and formations. Injuries have affected the way we play but we are adjusting moving forward,” said Arlington Head Coach Nathan Davis. The chemistry of Buell and Phillips was the catalyst of the Eagles’ offense as they were too much for the Everett defense to handle. With a strong senior team around them, they are revving up for a strong season and postseason. However, do not overlook the strong defense that allows the offense to flourish. Focusing on another key piece of this Arlington team, Brielle
Schraeder, the goalkeeper, has stepped up in big-time situations this season. Replacing an all-state keeper from last year, Schraeder uses her quickness in order to grab her fair share saves and has finished multiple games this season with shutouts. “We just had a real talk on what we needed to work on. We needed to know that isn’t how we play and we need to play harder. We need to come in with the mindset that we need to play aggressive and not get
relaxed thinking we’re going to beat them,” said Phillips. “This team is special because we lost 10 seniors from last year, and coming into this year everyone was counting us out. We’ve had a lot of girls step up their game, get aggressive, give hard tackles, score goals and are working well defensively,” said Buell. If you want to attend the next Arlington Eagles home game they will be competing against the Meadowdale Mavericks on Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m.
The Arlington Eagles girls volleyball team hosted the Marysville Getchell Chargers as they both walked onto the court with records of 1-0, in league play. From the first set the Eagles played aggressively as they scored quick and hit hard. After winning the first set, Arlington never looked back as they swept three in a row to claim a 3-0 victory, and remain undefeated. “It feels really good. We have been waiting to come out really strong because we usually struggle at the beginning of the season. With the experience I have, the amount of seniors I have, it is really fun to be able to come out that strong early on,” said Arlington Head Coach Whitney Williams. Arlington is led by a strong cast of senior athletes this season. In particular, in this matchup they were led by Libero Hannah Michaels and outside hitter Jessica Baker. With a combination of strong offense from Baker and game saving defense by Michaels, the Eagles controlled the match from beginning to

The Chargers are trying to find their rhythm this season as they also boast a strong senior cast and an impressive freshman in Alison Sievers. As the season goes on they will find their chemistry and work on their consistency on the offensive and defensives sides of the ball. “Our defense has improved a lot, our serve receive has really improved and we’re starting to be smarter. That’s one thing we have really been working on is coming out here and performing like we know we can and putting the ball down. We struggled with
that tonight, but we have been improving so far this season and we have a lot of room to go from here. I think we competed better toward the end, more than people probably expected. We just need to utilize when we have the ball, and put it down,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Kristina Naff. If you want to catch the next Arlington home game they will be matching up against the Shorecrest Scots on Thursday, Sept. 29, at 7 p.m. Or if you want to attend a Chargers match they will be at home against the Meadowdale Mavericks on Monday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m.

SMOKE TREE — This plant gets its name from the flowers that appear in the summer that look like feathery plumes of smoke. But that’s not it strong feature. The most popular varieties have dark purple foliage that is translucent in the sunshine. The leaves take on reddish tones in late September. Smoke trees can become small trees (15 feet tall) or be treated a large shrubs. They can even be cut to the ground in March and forced to re-sprout from the base. This will cause them to produce strong stems with beautiful new foliage reaching 6-8 feet tall. You won’t get many flowers this way, but the foliar effect will be dynamic. Plant smoke trees in full sun, average soil and reasonable drainage for best results. “Royal Purple” and “Velvet Cloak” are my favorite flavors. BURNING BUSH — The name says it all. The pleasingly textured foliage turns a brilliant red in the fall and only lasts for a few short weeks. But that’s not

Who could ask for anything more out of a plant? Burning bushes grow in full sun or part shade, average soil and some moisture. Too dry and they will look bleached. “Compactus” is the most common variety and grows to 4-6 feet tall.
FIRE POWER HEAVENLY BAMBOO — Don’t panic, this is not a true bamboo. This is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that doesn’t lose its leaves in the winter. However, those leaves turn bright red in the fall and stay that way all winter. A soft textured form of Nandina, Fire Power only grows to 2 feet tall by 2 feet wide.

Protect your pipes from freezing ___ “ Freezing pipes are a concern for homeowners who live in cold climates. When temperatures dip below freezing, the risk that pipes will freeze rises. Should a pipe burst, the damage that results can be extensive and costly. Any pipe can freeze, but those that are directly exposed to the cold are the most vulnerable. These include pipes that feed outdoor hoses, swimming pool supply lines, pipes in unheated indoor rooms (i.e., basements or garages), and any pipes that run close to the outdoors through uninsulated walls. Water expands as it freezes, and that expansion can place pressure on whatever is trying to contain it — including pipes. To avoid serious damage, homeowners need to prepare for the arrival of colder weather and be smart about how they protect pipes. Drain water from swimming pools and water sprinkler supply lines prior to the onset of cold weather. Drain water before freezing temperatures
arrive, and don’t forget to unhook and drain outdoor garden hoses and store them inside after watering season has come and gone. Close indoor water valves that feed outdoor spigots/bibs. Open the spigot outside to allow water to drain out. Keep the outside valve open so that any water that has accumulated will continue to drain and expand outward without damaging the pipe. An insulated bib dome also can help prevent frozen pipes. Open cabinet doors to allow heat to reach pipes inside of cabinets. Keep the doors open to spaces that may not be heated or insulated as well as other areas of the home so that heat can find its way inside. Consider wrapping these pipes with an insulating material as well, such as heat tape or pipe sleeves. Maintain a consistent thermostat temperature. Ensure the temperature inside your home does not drop below 55 F; otherwise, problems can arise. Use a programmable thermostat

to keep the house comfortable even when you are not home. Individuals who are traveling should set the thermostat so that it will keep the home at the recommended temperature to avoid frozen pipes. “If you mist leave for an extended time consider winterizing your home,” said Cameron Brown, of Brown’s Plumbing in Marysville.

Taking steps to protect your pipes against freezing is a good way to avoid costly repairs. the sink that is furthest from where water enters the house so water is flowing through all of the pipes to reach that faucet. Increase insulation around where pipes enter the house. Use insulating foam to seal any drafts where pipes enter the house from the outdoors. Frozen pipes cannot always be avoided. Therefore,
it is important that everyone in the household knows how to shut off the main water valve in the event a pipe bursts. This can prevent expensive damage to a home. “If you have a frozen

Sk8 Festival returns to Arlington By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The fourth annual Centennial Sk8 Festival brought longboarders from across the country to Arlington to compete in races around the Centennial Trail on Sept. 24 and 25. The festival is a sanctioned event from the International Distance Skateboard Association (IDSA) and brings longboard racers to the area. Longboards are similar
to skateboards but longer and designed more for distance traveling or racing. “It’s a great form of clean transportation, and it’s a great way for families to bond and see nature from a little faster perspective than a pedestrian,” said Angela Kuhn, one of the organizers of the event and an Arlington local. “Everything’s cooler on a longboard. Stress, problems of life, it all goes away as you glide inches from the earth at 10 to 15 miles

per hour,” said well-known longboarder Andy Andras, who was at this year’s Arlington festival. Kuhn likes that longboards are easy to learn as well. “I love that the boards are longer and more forgiving,” she said. “Even our young pre-school at-thetime child could learn.” The Centennial Sk8 Festival brought out a wide range of people and Kuhn said that is in part because it is easy to pick up. “We’ve got people from all ages who come out for this,” she said. Kuhn’s husband was a street skater growing up, she said, but moved to longboarding as a safer alternative. “We got into longboarding in Arlington. When we first moved here the races were new and we participated, and since then we’ve been very involved, to the point of now running this,” she said. Snohomish local James Barry said he has been longboarding for two years now, but that it’s great exercise. The 54-year-old recently completed 600 miles of longboarding in one month. “I think it keeps me healthy and young,” he said. Barry has participated in the Centennial Sk8 Festival the last two years and said he likes the community. “It’s lots of fun and lots

of people doing the same thing I like to do,” he said. “There’s a lot of camaraderie in the sport and I love to support that,” said Kuhn. Andras also said he liked the people of the sport. “We call it the distance skate family, all these people are all very fun and tightknit. We all race a lot but we’re all friendly,” he said. He holds the world record for longest distance traveled on a longboard in a day, with 309 miles completed in the 24 Hour Ultra Skate race in Miami. Andras lives in Florida but said he enjoys traveling around to IDSA races. “I never would’ve come to Arlington without this

one, so now I get to come down to beautiful Arlington and check out the Centennial Trail,” he said. This year’s festival included a film festival that was open to the public, and multiple races, including a kids race.
”
Kuhn hopes it continues to grow. “I hope that it brings something fresh to the community and something that the community members look forward to it every year,” she said. “I hope it becomes a destination for longboarding.” Kuhn wanted to thank the sponsors and those who have helped the event including Arlington Lifeway Church, Kombucha Town, the Downtown Arlington Business Association, Stilly Diner, Cricket Wireless, Blackdog Longboards, Sioeye, Dwayne Lanes and the Arlington Co-Op.

Jimmy John’s opens in Marysville The popular sandwich shop opens in downtown Marysville By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Well-known sandwich shop Jimmy John’s opened their new Marysville location this month. The new store at 412 State Avenue in Marysville held its grand opening on Sept. 13. “I think our quality, simplicity and speed make us unique,” said Kent Perillo, owner of the new Marysville location, as well as two other locations in Smokey Point and Snohomish. Perillo said that Jimmy John’s is a sub shop that mainly focuses on its sandwiches. “We don’t do soups or salads. Instead we keep it high quality but simple,” he said. “Keep it simple. Do one thing and do it well.”
They offer a wide-range of sandwiches that use all natural ingredients, said Perillo. There are no soybased fillers for the meats and no vegetable oil-based cheeses, he said. The store also shreds their own lettuce every day, and bakes their French bread every four hours. A nine-grain wheat bread is also available as an alternative to the French bread. “I think people like our simple but tasty sandwiches,” he said. “I grew up eating at the very first and only Jimmy John’s over 20 years ago and it still doesn’t get old,” For those who want a no gluten meal, the store saves the outside of the lettuce it shreds and is able to make a sandwich in it. “We call it the ‘Unwich,’” said Perillo. The store has some snack options available to go with their sandwiches.

“We also have Jimmy’s own kettle style chips, delicious oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies with three types of Ghirardelli chocolate in them, and our famous tasty crunchy Kosher jumbo dill pickle,” said Perillo. The store is also known for its delivery service and quick preparation. “I think they [customers] like our speed. The average Joe doesn’t have time to waste on their lunch. We get them in and out of the restaurant in well under four minutes typically,” said Perillo. Perillo has owned his other locations for a couple of years now and said that he tries to be involved in the towns around them. “We stay active in the
community with schools and churches, and are trying to get better,” he said. He said he was excited to be part of the Marysville downtown now. “I have had my sights set on this location for about seven years,” said Perillo. “I see the potential here for growth and I am extremely grateful to be contributing here,” he said. He also said his stores employ a diverse group of people. “We employ a lot of men, women, great kids, college students, single parents, and even retirees looking to pick up some hours,” he said. The Marysville store is open every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information call 360-3226905.

Historical Viking re-enactors and demonstrations will be on display again this year at the Arlington Viking Fest on Oct. 1. and 2. This is the second year for the festival put on by the Downtown Arlington Business Association (DABA) and it has been expanded to two days with more re-enactors, demonstrations and activities. Most of the activities will be located in Legion Park from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Oct. 1 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 2. “This is really about the education and the opportunity to learn more about the viking era,” said Dana Fowler, DABA member and chair for the event. The “Viking Village” will be bigger this year with more demonstrators and re-enactors coming. Fowler said that the re-enactors are always knowledgeable and “know all the history and they can talk for days about it.” Numerous demonstrations will show skills such as blacksmithing, forging, weaving and casting. Two professional fighting groups will be on display throughout the weekend, including one that uses real steel in their weapons and
wear actual armor (although the weapons are not sharp, said Fowler). The public will be able to participate in a demonstration of historical defensive formations including a shield wall maneuver. A bard will travel around and sing throughout the festival and a storyteller will tell Viking-era stories. A Viking ship from the Sons of Norway in Bothell will be on display at the festival. Last year’s tug-of-war competition returns as well. Kids activities, including a craft table and a bouncy house, will be available. The pub tour for the Viking Festival returns as well. DABA will be running a program with discount ads for stores and the stops of the pub tour, which will have Viking re-enactors visiting as well. Fowler said DABA started the festival as a tribute to the area’s Scandinavian roots. “There’s a strong connection to history here,” said Fowler. “This is the site of the biggest 1800s Scandinavian settlement in the northwest,” she said. The Stilly Genealogical Society will be at the festival to show some local artifacts relating to the area’s Scandinavian roots as well.
The Viking Festival was expanded to two days this year. “It will help accommodate more people. We’re always busy and a Saturday may not work for everyone,” said Fowler. It takes a lot of time and work for the re-enactors to come from all across the state, she said, so a multi-day event is better for them. “They’re always enthusiastic about re-enacting so the more time they have the better,” she said. Last year was the first time DABA ran the event. The time is one between big events for the area, so the organization hoped to fill a niche for the community. “It went really well last year and that’s why we wanted to bring it back again this year,” said Fowler. “Just in general I think there is a lot of interest in the viking life,” she said. Fowler hopes that the event will continue to grow and be one of DABA’s signature festivals in the future. “I like that this is unique. There are not a lot of vikingrelated events out in Washington state,” she said. “And because it’s unique it could have a really great draw over time,” she said. More information about the festival is available at arlingtonvikingfest.com.

lationships, she said. “If you’ve ever been in a band, you know that playing music together is really bonding. The bonds forged through music are incredible,” said Dietz. “I think the sheer joy of music is a common ground. It doesn’t matter if you’re disabled or not, you can still enjoy listening to and playing music,” she said. The band helps get people with disabilities into center stage in the community, which is important as well, she said. “It includes them in the community in a way that is pretty unique. They’re not an ostracized group of people with disabilities over here, they’re in the center, they’re performing on a stage,” said Dietz. “It’s really important for the commu-
nity to see our folks in this role performing.” Mike Blue, a regular participant in the Friendship Walk and a teacher at Arlington High School, said he participates to give back to the community. “I’ve been blessed in so many ways in my career in the Air Force and now at Arlington High School, I just want to give back,” he said.
Blue has been participating in the Friendship Walk for many years.
“I got introduced to Village Community Services in 2008 and it was just so much fun. I like the band and what they’re doing in the community here,” he said. “I like the fun atmosphere, the students and adults with disabilities can enjoy a day in the sun and it helps them with most of their events throughout the year,” he said.

Partnership is one of the strengths of the Marysville/ Tulalip community. Here we believe that organizations and entities working together can accomplish so much more than we each would on our own. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new monthly feature article co-written by the Marysville School District, the Tulalip Tribes and the city of Marysville. Each month we’ll explore a topic of interest in our community with information and perspectives from the schools, the tribes and the city. For September, our theme is Back to School. Marysville School District It’s a busy time for staff, students and families. Great things are happening and Marysville School District staff is thrilled to see all of those bright, eager students once again. This year, the District is implementing new elementary school English-Language Arts curriculum (Ready Gen), and grades 6-8 Math materials (GlenCo). The goal of adopting new curriculum is to improve instruction in classrooms, and meet the District’s North Star Indicator of all students achieving at or above state standard in English/Language Arts and Math. This is also the first year of Chromebook redeployment for grades 6-12. New students are receiving Chromebooks for the first time and returning students are getting them back after the summer. There were many successes from the technology levy our voters ap-
proved in 2012, and the community should look forward to another year of 21st Century learning for our students. There are many opportunities to get involved in Marysville School District-sponsored efforts and events this year. The new Food Commons at M-PHS is set for completion this winter; once students are settled, they will share their new space with the community at a public open house. Last week, the District held symposiums recapping the unsuccessful April 26 Bond Measure. More feedback is needed, so look for a community survey in late September. On Oct. 18, the District is hosting a Legislative Town Hall on education funding with 38th Legislative District leaders. You won’t want to miss the discussion. For more information on any of these priorities or events, contact Emily_Wicks@msd25.org. Tulalip Tribes The Tulalip Tribes realized a decades-long dream this past year when it opened the Betty J. Taylor Early Learning Academy that serves tribal children age birth to five. “Research shows the life-long benefits of early learning programs,” said Chairman Mel Sheldon. “We now have the opportunity to give our children the best possible start in life. The fact that we are able to teach our culture alongside traditional early learning curriculum makes it a very unique program.” The Taylor Early Learning Academy combines several programs under one roof.
The academy’s mission is to provide children a solid foundation for success. The program emphasizes strong families, community, culture, and a coordinated early learning education system. Studies show that students involved in the Montessori program score higher in social and emotional skills when entering kindergarten, while children in the ECEAP program have higher math scores than children without preschool education. This October will see the first generation of tribal members to be fully exposed to Lushootseed, their ancestral language, since the Treaty of Point Elliot was signed in 1855. Teachers and staff study the language daily in an effort to incorporate the language into all aspects of the education system. “Our decisions are made in the best interest of our children and families,” said Sheryl Fryberg, director of the academy. “It is a concept we live by here at the Early Learning Academy.” City of Marysville Lifelong learners, rejoice! Even if you graduated years ago, community education classes let you learn and explore topics ranging from fitness, arts and crafts, music and special interests. Budgeting, geocaching and essential oils are all offered this fall by Marysville Parks, Culture and Recreation. Find more information at http://www. marysvillewa.gov/147/ParksCulture-Recreation and keep on learning.

Having lived in Marysville from the ripe old age of one, I grew up in a totally different Marysville than what you see today. The streets were not as wide and the traffic was oh so much less. My great uncle, Noble Olson, owned and operated the Marysville Co-Op, located, on State Street where the Marysville Towne Center Mall is now. The Co-Op actually came equipped with Cracker and Pickle Barrels. As the story goes my grandfather, Bill Seibert, would take me there with him and sit me on the barrels — that had to have been fun. Mike’s Saw Shop, owned by my great-uncle Mike Seibert, was located on 1st Street behind The Burger Stop and Ron’s Hamburger Stand was on south State Street just as you left Marysville. Those businesses, along with so many others, are where our not-so-little town came from. Hilton Pharmacy is still where it has always been, as is the Dutch Bakery and of course — Carr’s Hardware. A place unlike any other, Carr’s Hardware was a fixture “back in the day.” I remember as a little girl, going in there with my grandfather and my dad. Mr. Carr was such a nice man and you felt like you had known him all your life, and in my case that was almost a fact. My grandparents lived across 4th Street from the beauti-
fully landscaped white two-story house that was Mr. and Mrs. Carr’s. Halloween always meant Mrs. Carr’s caramel apples and popcorn balls, and a warm welcome as you went up to the door. It was a fact that if you couldn’t find what you were looking for at the big box stores, just take a short drive down to 3rd Street and you could usually always find it at Carr’s and if not, they could order it for you. Walking into Carr’s has always felt as if you taking a walk back to the Marysville of old. The wood plank floors, merchandize of every description on shelves, hanging on the walls or sitting on the floor, so much in fact it was hard to choose. However, the wonderfully friendly people who worked there made your journey even more interesting. There was, and still is, a wonderful indescribable smell about Carr’s that made you feel at home, along with the smiles, and warm welcomes that greeted you as you entered. Those of us who patronized Carr’s over years will always have those wonderful memories of each time we walked through the front door— hearing the sound of old cash register, walking around on the wood floors and feeling the presence of Mr. Carr and all those who visited the wonderful place over the past 93 years.

Council meets with school district, hospital By Sarah Arney sarah@northcountyoutlook.com
The city of Arlington gathered early this Monday for a quick, half-hour joint meeting with Arlington School District and Skagit Regional Health/Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, the first of such meetings since a change of management at both the hospital and the school district. Another special meeting is planned this Saturday, Oct. 1, when the City Council’s budget retreat will be held in the Stillaguamish Conference Room at the Public Works office, 154 W. Cox St., from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This Monday’s council workshop meeting covered several new projects. Council is planning a public hearing on Oct. 3 on the city’s Six-Year Transportation Improve-
ment Plan (TIP). State law requires every municipality to update their TIP annually for the following six years. Any road construction project that is to be considered for a variety of funding must be listed. The proposed TIP is available on the city’s website, arlingtonwa.gov. The city is considering a new ordinance, Impact Fee Deferral, to accommodate a state law passed by Legislature in 2015. Impact fees are intended to ensure that adequate facilities are available to serve growth and development, but the state law strives to make it easier for single-family residential construction projects. The deferral would be allowed for the first 20 building permits issued by the city and the fees still have to be paid, within 18 months, or at final inspection, certificate of occupancy or at the time of closing.
A public hearing on the ordinance was held by the Arlington Planning Commission on Sept. 20. At this Monday’s workshop, council was to review a contract with Hellas Construction Inc. for renovations to Quake Baseball Field with funds from the Stilly Valley Youth Project, a result of the 2014 SR 530 Slide. Hellas is a design-build firm for athletic fields and was selected in February 2016 through an RFQ process. The work includes installing artificial turf infields on two baseball fields, making the entire site ADA accessible, and improving the backstops and fencing. Hellas will also complete the design and budget for two new baseball fields east of the existing fields that will allow the city to move forward on fundraising. Snohomish County provided

Know that Mr. Carr is smiling down on you and thanking you for all the years you gave to this community and walking out that door with you for the last time joining you for the next adventure. We will all miss Carr’s Hardware, but we will all carry with us the memories of a wonderful man and his family that gave so much to all of us … turn out the lights-but the party is just beginning.

Many reasons to Shop Local ness, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms — continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community. Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses. Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This gener-
ally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents. Get better service: Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they are selling and take more time to get to know customers. Invest in community: Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the community’s future. Put your taxes to good use:

communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character. Buy what you want, not what someone wants you to buy: A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
