Wildly Delicious Grilled Wild Salmon Fillet wiTh Peach ReliSh For the relish: 6 ripe peaches 1 small shallot, minced 10 large basil leaves, chiffonade 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 Tbsp canola oil 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, fresh
Cut peaches in half, remove pit and cut into a large dice. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. For the salmon: 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil plus more for brushing 1 whole salmon fillet, skin on Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste 1 lemon, sliced Pat salmon dry. Check the fish for pin bones and remove them with a pair of tweezers. Brush both sides of salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Brush grill grate with oil and preheat to medium-high. Place salmon on grill flesh side down. Grill for 2–3 minutes. To get grill marks rotate salmon 90° and grill for another 2–3 minutes. Gently flip and grill for an additional 4–10 minutes, depending on thickness of the fillet.
Tip: When white beads appear on the surface and sides of the fish, it’s a sign of overcooking. Arrange slices of lemon on grill and grill until golden brown and fragrant. Carefully transfer salmon to a large platter and serve with lemon slices and peach relish.

2018 ARLINGTON SUMMER FESTIVALS
Welcome from Mayor Barbara Tolbert As Mayor, I would like to personally invite you to join me in celebrating all the wonderful activities that happen in Arlington during our annual Fourth of July Frontier Days! It always amazes me how many volunteers and community groups spend our nation’s birthday hosting all the events. Our grand celebration of the Fourth of July is the kick off to many more great summer events that provide a wide variety of entertainment for all ages. The list of activities during the Fourth is immense. Start the Fourth off with the Youth Dynam-
ics Pancake Breakfast beginning at 7:00 a.m. The Pedal, Paddle, Puff triathlon begins at 9:00 a.m. and is followed by the Foam 5K run at 10:00 a.m. The fun continues with the Kiwanis Auctions, the Old Fashioned Kids Carnival, the Kiddies Parade, the Grand Parade, the 30th Annual Duck Dash, and ending with the fireworks display. There will be food and drink available at Haller Park throughout the festivities at the Stilly Beer, Wine and Food Garden. This is one of my favorite days in Arlington; it is a great day to visit with friends old and new, discov-
ering what makes Arlington a special place. The party doesn’t stop after the Fourth of July, as the high flying fun and entertainment of the 50th Annual Arlington Fly In begins on Friday, July 6th and continues through Sunday, July 8th. The world’s finest aerobatic performers and warbirds will be on hand along with daily airshows. New in 2018 is the Night Drone Swarm Light Show. The Runway Theater will open on Friday night to show Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The ever popular Hot Air Balloon Glow returns on Saturday evening. The annual Downtown Arlington Street Fair is always a guaranteed winner with over 200 vendors from Friday, July 13th through Sunday, July 15th. The Street Fair will also feature daily entertainment on the newly constructed stage at Legion Park. The summer events continue with Movies in the Park in July, Music on the Terraces in Au-

Rotary Duck Dash makes a splash Begins at 7:30 p.m. Finish at Haller Park Thousands of rubber ducks will make the voyage from the bridge at Twin Rivers Park to Haller Park to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. The Rotary Club of Arlington is holding its 30th Annual Duck Dash that takes place after the Grand Parade on the Fourth of July. That’s when a front loader will drop around 16,000 ducks from the bridge at Twin Rivers Park. About 15 minutes later the ducks arrive at Haller Park. The first ducks to arrive earn a cash prize for their owners. To buy a duck simply find a Rotary member who is selling tickets for a duck
in front of grocery stores and other businesses throughout the Arlington area, said Paul Ellis, president-elect for the Rotary Club of Arlington. One ticket equals one duck and each ticket costs $5. People buying four ducks will receive the fifth duck for free. Last year more than 16,000 ducks made the trip between the two parks and the Duck Dash raised nearly $165,000. This year, Rotarians hope to raise $200,000, Ellis said. Organizers will have a net ready to capture the ducks at Haller Park. The owner of the first duck receives $3,030, the owners of the next 10 ducks will receive $330 each, and the owners of the next 30 ducks will receive $100.30 each. The number 30 is in honor of the 30th running of the

Holocker, Couhig crowned as Head Ducks This year’s Head Ducks for the Arlington Rotary’s Duck Dash are Jennifer Holocker and Fitz Couhig. Holocker works at the NOAH Center, a local animal shelter, and is a longtime member of the Arlington community, including being involved with the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce. She joined the local Rotary Club about two years ago. “I’ve always been involved in the community and this is a good way to get more involved and form friendships and get to know people,” she said. Couhig came to Arlington about four years ago and is a local business
owner who runs Pioneer Nuggets. “Where I grew up in Louisiana being part of the community was just kind of our family way. So when I moved up here, it just seemed natural,” he said. He has also been a member of the Rotary Club for about two years and helps coordinate the speakers at their weekly meetings. “With Rotary it’s about ‘service above self’ and that’s what I like about it, being surrounded by people with the same kind of values,” he said. “I was new to town about four years ago ,so it’s been a good way for me to

Sundown Bill Quake Field The Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Arlington Business Association are teaming up to provide a spectacular, illuminating fireworks display on the Fourth of July. The fireworks will provide a bang to Arlington’s Fourth of July Celebration which includes charity auctions, a couple of parades, beer and wine garden, a triathlon, and a pancake breakfast. Gather at Bill Quake Field by sundown to get a good
spot to watch the fireworks. It’s best to come early and bring a blanket and snacks, said Jennifer Egger, executive director of the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce. Sundown on the Fourth of July is 9:11 p.m. She said the fireworks display is a safer way to enjoy fireworks than setting them off at home. The community display also eases demand for police and emergency services on the busy Fourth of July holiday. “The Chamber is really proud to give back to the community by supporting this event,” Egger said.

The balloon glow will be held on July 7. “The balloons inflate their envelopes, as they call the balloon part of it, and they’re lined up and they do a routine with their propane burners,” said Tolbert. This year the event will have six balloons participating instead of three. The balloons can’t actually fly as part of the event because it will be nighttime. “It was extremely popular last year and created quite an arrival that we weren’t quite
prepared for, so we will be much more prepared this year,” said Tolbert. In addition to the balloon glow there will be a drone swarm light show on July 6 and 7. The drone swarms are a relatively new way to put on nighttime light shows. “People probably first saw them at the beginning of the most recent Olympics,” said Tolbert, and they are sometimes called ‘digital fireworks’, she said. “They can fly and do routines in the sky and it’s all choreographed in advance,” she said.

People like the number of different businesses that come down to the event, said Jeri Rugvedt, organizer for the event and a member of DABA. “We have something to offer everyone. From little kids and babies to the well-seasoned adults, so it’s a wide variety,” she said. “We have man-cave stuff and things for women,” she said. Currently the fair has more than 200 vendors See FAIR on page 23

registered, which will be put up from First Street to Fifth Street on downtown Olympic Avenue. There are a variety of handcrafted vendors along with some commercial vendors, said Rugvedt. “We have wood-working, sewing, crocheting, soaps and lotions, a variety of jewelry vendors that create their own, and our hula-hoop gal will be back,” she said. A chainsaw carver will also be doing live carvings at the event, said Rugvedt. A number of different busi-
nesses from the downtown area will also be at the Street Fair to talk about their own products, said Rugvedt. Nonprofit organizations will also provide information about themselves at the event. Some local groups are providing kids activities as well, which are planned to include face-painting, balloon animals and a bouncy house at the Legion Park parking lot. “The bouncy house is my one big new thing this year,” said Rugvedt. Food will also be available at the event. “We will have plenty of food vendors. We’re going to

have a pretzel person this year and have our returning favorites with the ice cream and the mini-donuts,” said Rugvedt. Entertainment at the new Legion Park Stage is also scheduled throughout the event, including a couple of different bands as well as a couple of plays. The fair usually has an attendance around 5,000 and Rugvedt is expecting that many people this year as well. The fair is a good event to be able to hang out with people you know, she said. “It’s a great place to be able to meet up with friends, peruse, and listen to the bands,” Rugvedt said.
“It was fantastic last year. We had a gorgeous weekend. I heard from all my vendors that they had a great weekend,” she said. The street fair serves as a fundraiser for DABA, which helps keep the downtown area up-to-date with a variety of improvements. Some of that money also goes to local causes. “We give a lot back to the community,” said Rugvedt. “We do scholarships and we sponsor and donate, like with the high school band and their uniforms,” she said. More information about DABA and their events is available at arlingtonwa.org.

Festival of the River returns Aug. 11-12 The Stillaguamish Tribe’s Festival of the River and Powwow returns this August to bring music, Native American culture and environmental awareness. This year’s festival will be held on Aug. 11 and 12 in its usual location at River Meadows County Park at 20416 Jordan Road, Arlington. The headliners this year are country-music duo Maddie & Tae on Aug. 11, and classic rock musician Rick Springfield on Aug. 12. The festival is featuring more musicians up at the stages this year, said Tamara
Neuffer, one of the main organizers for the event. “We will have more music and especially more local music this year,” she said. Other well-known acts include Buffy Sainte Marie and Alejandro Escovedo. Local artists playing at the event include the JP Falcon Gray Band and Bellingham’s Soulful 7. There are a number of different activities in addition to the musical stages as well. “There are a lot of activities for everyone in the family,” said Neuffer. Other stages will have Native American storytellers and Maldonado Agency, Inc.

the logging show will return to the event as well. There are a number of different rides and activities in the kids zone for children, most of which are free, said Neuffer. Powwows are held in the afternoon each day of the festival and bring in Native American dancers from all around the region. Last year saw the powwow move to a bigger tent meant to hold more people and give more space to the dancers, which Neuffer said went well and will be returning this year. “Also, this year we’re going to have a traditional cedar pole,” to be more like traditional Native American powwows. The powwow allows the public to see some traditional dances and music from Native American people. “I think that people appreciate us bringing some Native American culture to the public,” said Neuffer. A number of different en-

vironmental booths about the Stillaguamish River and Stillaguamish Valley are also provided at the event. Last year they were also collected into one big tent, which was a good way to centralize them, said Neuffer. “They like that we have this big open tent with kids crafts in the middle. You can have your kid do the crafts while they visit the booths to learn about the environment,” she See RIVER on page 25

said. Participants who visit environmental booths can also earn tickets which are later put into a raffle where prizes can be won. Many of the different nonprofit organizations that work locally to improve the Stillaguamish Valley come to the event to talk about what they do and what residents can do to help. “All the environmental educators feel like we’re doing something together,” said Neuffer. The festival is a gift from
the Stillaguamish Tribe to the community, said Neuffer. “Tribal members choose to spend quite a bit of money on this to share their culture and the culture of other Native American tribes as well,” she said. This year the price is going up for cars, said Neuffer. “Unfortunately, we had to raise the price.” Festival-goers will pay $20 per car now. However, those who arrive between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. will receive a discount and only have to pay $10, she said.

Did You Know? The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776,
the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Indepen-

dence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be of-
fered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday.

I think sometimes people see us asking for money every year and don’t realize all the different things it goes to like scholarships, helping seniors, the Arlington Kids Kloset, and the Boys & Girls Club,” said Holocker. “To have our one time of year when we ask people for money and do it in such a

They said they are enjoying being this year’s Head Ducks so far. “The main thing is that it’s much easier to sell the tickets,” said Couhig. “Historically, I’m pretty new
