The Arlington American Legion led community members down Olympic Avenue as part of the annual Memorial Day parade held this year on May 27. The American Legion Post 76 in Arlington works with a number of community groups to honor Memorial Day each year. The day is meant to honor veterans who are no longer with us, said David Delancy, color guard commander with the local American Legion Post. “It’s just in remembrance See ARLINGTON on page 2

After years of funding, planning and work, Arlington’s Haller Park splash pad is now open for kids to play at. City officials held the grand opening for the splash pad on May 23 and declared it open on May 24. A splash pad is a park feature with numerous water spray features, but no standing water, making them safer than pools. More than $1 million of funding came together to create the Haller Park splash pad from local organizations like the Stillaguamish Tribe and the Arlington Rotary, with help from a Washington state recreation grant as well.
“It was about a year ago when we had a big pile of sand and we were talking about the groundbreaking,” said Paul Ellis, Arlington city administrator and local Rotary member. The Arlington Rotary has worked to improve Haller Park for the past decade. “Five years ago, this park was underutilized and people felt unsafe to be down here. It just was not used to it’s fullest potential,” said Ellis. The Rotary helped install new play equipment and restrooms to “replace the old ones that, if you remember, were built in the ‘60s and weren’t so nice,” he said. Those projects helped

of the men and women who never came home from combat,” said Delancy. “Even the ones that come home safe and sound or broken in spirit, once they go in the ground that is what this is for,” he said. Delancy said he wants to keep the focus of the day on veterans that have passed away either during their service or afterward. “It’s not to say ‘thank you’ to veterans. Our day is Veterans Day. This one is for those that never came home or who passed away,” he said. The local American Legion Post also recognizes local Arlington veterans that have passed away during the year at the event. “There is a brick memorial right across from the American Legion [at Legion Park] with four folded flags in there. Those are for four members of my post that have passed since the last Memorial Day,” said Delancy. Community groups and Arlington school groups come out to support the day in the parade, including local Boy Scout and Girl Scout groups, the Arlington High School band and the Air Force JROTC program. AFJROTC member Caleb Palmer was participating in the parade for the

AFJROTC member Blythe O’Brannigan said that the day is important to many. “My father was a veteran and he’s lost friends, so it’s important for him and important for me as well because of that,” she said. Delancy said that participating in the parade makes him feel good. “I’m fourth-generation military myself.

great-grandfather was in World War I and my uncle was in Vietnam,” he said. “It’s just tradition and I carry on that tradition,” he said. The parade also serves as an opportunity for the community to get together. O’Brannigan said she likes meeting up with her school troop. “A big portion of what I like to do is meeting up at the parade with my fellow cadets. I just like connecting with them and seeing how far they’ve grown throughout the year,” she said. Delancy said that he feels the community does come out and shows their appreciation each year. “Between this, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day, this community supports us very well,” he said.

began as Decoration Day as graves of Civil War veterans were decorated and remembered as part of the tradition. “The day was born out of response from the devastating and unprecedented death toll of the Civil War,” said Nehring. “It ravaged communities across our country,” he said. Today, Memorial Day continues the tradition of giving recognition to military service members who have passed away. “It serves to focus our memory on something or someone,” said Nehring. “It’s so vital that we preserve the memory of those who have died in the service to our nation." Daniel Grumbach, commander of American Legion Post 178, took the opportunity to remember a couple of local veterans who have recently passed. “There are two of our Legion members that we lost, Ken Cage a couple of months ago and we lost

Marty Bednar who we also lost a couple months ago,” said Grumbach. Cage’s widow Ethel Cage helped the American Legion Auxiliary perform the flower presentation as part of the ceremony, with a red flower, a white flower and a blue flower laid at the cemetery. The red flower was “in memory of those whose blood was shed on the field of battle,” the white “a symbol of purity on this sacred soil,” and the blue in memory of those who sleep beneath the ocean’s waves,” said Grumbach. “One individual I miss greatly is Ken Cage, but his memory will go on forever in the city of Marysville,” said Nehring. Grumbach also wanted to recognize some former soldiers he knew personally. “Fifty years ago in April, an EC-121 reconnaissance plane was shot down by North Korea with a loss of 31 lives. I was originally scheduled to be on that plane and I remember these people well. I would like them remembered if possible,” he said. The Marysville American Legion also welcomed community members to an open house were they celebrated the 100th year of the American Legion. “This year we are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the American Legion as it was started in 1919 in Paris, France, after World War I,” he said. Nehring also gave thanks to the local American Legion who organize the event each year. “They dedicatedly put this on every single year so that we have an opportunity to remember,” he said.

Officials discuss efforts to bring jobs to county Local officials discussed efforts to improve the supply of manufacturing workers and attract industrial jobs to the area at a recent Issues that Matter presentation on May 21. The series is hosted by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation and is meant to provide forums to talk about topics that are important to the community. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring hosted the discussion between Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert, Snohomish County Council member Nate Nehring and Herman Calzadillas, employment solutions manager for Everett Community College. Employment is one of the biggest concerns for many locals, said Jon Nehring. “Nothing has been worked on more than creating family wage jobs here in Snohomish County,” he said. Local officials hope to have more jobs that pay a family wage. “We have about 161,000 people in Snohomish County who live 200 percent below the poverty level. That means they’re making less than $25,000 a year,” said Tolbert. “When you start to add kids to that it becomes even worse." To be able to meet your basic needs with no savings requires a job of about $14.06 per hour, said Tolbert. Having more jobs closer to Arlington and Marysville also means less commuting. “In another career I actually commuted from Marysville to west Seattle,” said Jon Nehring, and that travel took him away from his family and caused wear and tear on his vehicle. Tolbert said that jobs closer to town would turn into more time for family and community. “Then they are there participating in family life, because I think that is really important for our future,” she said. “Particularly as we face some of the social issues that we’ve been seeing over the last five years." Some attendees worried that manufacturing job wages were not high enough to support community members either, especially those that claim $15 to $20 per hour is a “family wage.” “I don’t think anybody views $14.06 or $18 as a family wage job, the kinds of jobs we’re looking to attract are the $70,000 a year
type jobs,” said Jon Nehring. “With many of the aerospace jobs in Arlington, the starting wage is probably $12.50 an hour, but within six years you’re at $30 per hour and that’s a pretty fair progression,” said Tolbert. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics the average wage of a manufacturing worker in April 2019 was $22.04 per hour. The primary strategy discussed at the forum for bringing those manufacturing jobs to the county was by providing a more trained workforce to make the area more attractive for businesses. Calzadillas said businesses are asking for workers who are ready to start at the job immediately. “On a state level, what we’re seeing is that Washington Roundtable estimates that there are 740,000 jobs out there being created by 2021, and only 40 percent of our graduates have the degrees to fill those jobs,” he said. “If you look at that stat for students of color, that is even lower,” he said. Everett Community College provides an AMTEC program meant to provide training in locally needed skills like precision machining and welding. “The programs we are delivering really deliver for the needs of the community,” said Calzadillas. He said that the students often give positive feedback as well. “It’s relevant and aligns to their interests. All the homework is integrated into what they’re doing for their work,” he said. Marysville and Arlington have been working on their Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center as well, which is an area in north Marysville/ south Arlington next to Smokey Point that officials from both cities have worked to build for industry. “Both cities have worked hard to keep it zoned industrial,” said Jon Nehring, even as developers have desired to build houses there, he said. Finally, Nate Nehring discussed the Regional Apprenticeship Pathways program that they hope to open in Marysville next school year. The program is a partnership between local businesses and union to provide students with skills to enter the trades. “If we can instill those basic tools and safety knowledge, we could con-
nect them into an apprenticeship program to lead to one of these careers,” said Nate Nerhing. While the program would be located at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, it would be open to students from any school district. Nate Nehring said they hope to begin the program next year.

Lakewood softball takes 7th place at state By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Lakewood Softball team travelled to Selah, Washington, to compete in the WIAA 2A State Softball Tournament on May 2425. Lakewood got off to a tough start on Friday morning as they opened the tournament with a strong defensive battle against the Ridgefield Spudders. Through seven innings the Cougars only allowed four runs but couldn’t get on the scoreboard as they lost 4-0. A couple of hours later in the second game of the tournament, the Cougars defense and fielding would continue to be tested against the White River Hornets. A strong pitching effort, combined with team play, allowed one run in the fourth inning to decide the game as Lakewood took the victory 1-0. In the final Friday game, Lakewood found themselves behind early against the Selah Vikings. Down 2-0 heading into the bottom of the third inning, the Cougars refused to let go of their chance to make it to Saturday as they outscored the Vikings 13-2. Lakewood moved onto their fourth game off a 13-4 victory. The Cougars matched up with
the Lynden Lions on Saturday morning as they started slow and fell behind early, 7-0 heading into the fourth inning. However, Lakewood did not lay down and let the game slip away as they battled back over the next two innings to outscore the Lions 6-1. Entering the bottom of the seventh inning Lakewood needed two runs to close the gap, unfortunately, they were only able to score one as the fell to Lynden 8-7. After going 2-2 in the State Tournament, Lakewood managed to take the seventh-place overall finish. “Last year they were excited to go to State and this year they expected to be here playing in the State Tournament. This team is still really young and our expectations keep growing every year. We need to stay hungry, get better every day and we should be right back here fighting for a State Title,” said Lakewood Head Coach Travis Boortz. The Cougars were led by strong performances from their young core of Riley Mae Swanson, Ashtyn Falor, Kaci Smith and Abby Freeman. Swanson, sophomore pitcher, started all four games on the mound as she pitched 23 innings and racked up 25 strikeouts. She also put up numbers at the plate with

The Lakewood Cougars softball team after securing the seventh-place finish in the WIAA 2A State Softball Tournament at Carlon Park in Selah, Washington, on May 24. four hits, three runs, six RBIs, one single, two doubles and a homerun. Falor, sophomore catcher, led the team with seven hits in 13 atbats that turned into two runs, one RBI, two stolen bases, five singles, a double and a homerun. Smith, freshman third baseman, had 11 at-bats with three hits, three walks, two runs, five RBIs, two singles and a homerun. Freeman, sophomore
left fielder, recorded two hits, two walks, four runs, two singles and two stolen bases. Lakewood relied on leadership from their seniors all season and continued to look to Olivia Poulton and Riley Molloy. Poulton, shortstop, had 13 at-bats as she earned two hits, three walks, two runs, a stolen base, a single and a double. Molloy, center fielder, finished with
12 at-bats, two hits, one walk, three runs, an RBI, one stolen base and two singles. The Cougars will lose four seniors in the offseason but will return the majority of their varsity roster next season. With a strong core to build around, Lakewood will reload in the offseason and look to finish in the top four next year.
Arlington Eagles offer annual basketball camp By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com With the school year nearing its end, the Arlington Eagles Boys Basketball Program is coming together to put on their 26th Annual Basketball Camp. Arlington will be offering three camps over the next two weeks including ones for grades K-3rd, 4th-6th and 7th-9th. Grades K-3rd will be held at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, June 10-12, at 4:15-6:15 p.m. The camp costs $50 and that includes a camp T-shirt, basketball and prizes that will be given out throughout the drills/scrimmages. Grades 4th-6th and 7th9th will be held at the Arlington High School Gym June 3-6. The 7th-9th session
is scheduled to be held from 3-5:15 p.m. and the 4th-6th graders will have camp right after from 5:45-8 p.m. The cost for the camps will be $100 and will also include a T-shirt, basketball and prizes. “It’s a great way to connect with the kids and does a good job of letting the local youth get involved with our program. We get to give the kids an environment where they can have a lot of fun while also letting them be competitive,” said Arlington Head Coach Nick Brown. The Eagles’ basketball program is known for their incredible fundamentals on both ends of the court and their ability to play through each position with an unselfish team-first mindset. Each camper will get to learn and experience what has made
Arlington one of the best teams in the conference year-in and year-out. Alongside instruction from the Eagles’ coaching staff, campers will also receive hands-on coaching from current players on the Arlington High School varsity roster. “I feel responsible for every kid that picks up a ball and takes a shot in the county. Not all of them are going to play for me, but it’s important that I do everything I can to instill great sportsmanship. It’s more than just playing the game, it’s about playing the right way and showing each other respect,” said Coach Brown.

Track and Field teams from across the state travelled to Mt. Tahoma High School to compete in the WIAA State Track and Field Championships on May 23-25. Of the hundreds of teams to compete, four local schools sent athletes including Arlington, Marysville-Pilchuck, Marysville Getchell and Lakewood. The Eagles were able to score points in both the boys and girls 3A competition. Arlington’s boys scored 4.5 points to place 33rd out of 44 scoring schools and their girls placed 13th out of 46 schools with 20 points. Marysville-Pilchuck’s boys and girls teams both scored as they placed 31st with five points and 46th place with one point, respectively. Marysville Getchell sent two boys and a handful of girls to compete at State but were unable to get on the podium. Without placing in the top eight in any event, the Chargers finished the weekend not scoring any points. The Cougars did not send any girls from their team to the State Meet but had an impressive day from their boys team. Lakewood’s boys finished in 14th place out of 47 scoring teams by putting up 15 total points. “We’re bringing back a lot of youth and our freshman class is really solid. The goal is for them to draw on the experience and share it with others on the team. We really have a bright future over the next few years and hopefully we can make a run at a trophy there a State,” said Arlington Head Coach Judd Hunter. Arlington’s boys were led by firstyear track athlete senior Josh Gutierrez and sophomore Jaden Roskelley. Gutierrez placed eighth in the triple jump with a distance of 43’ 5.5” and also finished 11th in the long jump, 21’ 1”. Roskelley scored the most points for the boys as he finished fifth in the high jump with a height of 6’ 2”. The Eagles’ girls were led by their throwers Julia Parra and Jersey Heiss.

Hi! My name is Charm and I’m a super sweet girl. I am mellow, quiet and looking for a lap to occupy. And trust me, you will want me in your lap because once you pet my silky-soft fur you won’t be able to stop! I have shared the room with other cats and gotten along well with them if they’re not too bossy. If you have a kitty at home, we will probably do well with a proper introduction. I’m pretty tolerant but I get stressed if I feel bullied so I’m looking for a quiet home. If you are looking for a soft little lap warmer, come in to the NOAH Center today and meet me!

Michai Harris, Lakewood’s senior sprinter, center, flies down the track during the 100-meter at the WIAA State Track and Field Meet on May 24. Parra, junior, finished top-3 in both of her events as she placed second in the shot put, 42’ 8.25”, and third in the discus with a distance of 131’ 8”. Heiss, sophomore, also had a top-3 finish as she earned third-place in the javelin with 127’. “You never know what’s going to happen and a trip to State isn’t always guaranteed. It’s never easy to get to this level, but they know that they just have to put in the hard work and hope for the best,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach Mike Cull. The Tomahawks had three athletes finish in the top 10 of their events including Jeffery Richner, Cade Tucker and Summer Sanden. Richner, senior, made it into the finals of the 800-meter and placed seventh with a time of 1:55.93. Tucker, senior, threw for 50’ 5.5” in the shot put and finished in sixth place. Sanden, junior, was the only girl to get on the podium for Marysville-Pilchuck as she placed eighth in the long jump, 16’ 10.25”. “Now that this season is over, we always make sure to tell our kids a few reminders as they head into the offseason. One thing we try to tell them is that they have to have a big Winter. You can’t use the track season to get
back into shape, you have to come in with a solid base in order to be successful,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Kim Edens. Marysville Getchell had one athlete finish in the top 10 as their senior sprinter Kiarra Green took ninth place in the 200-meter with a time of 26.48 seconds. The Chargers' top finisher for their boys was senior Jesse Donk as he placed 12th in the javelin, 144’ 9”. Lakewood had a lot of impressive performances from Michai Harris, Alex Jensen, Keegan Bach and their 4 x 100-meter relay team. Harris, senior, finished third in the 100-meter with a time of 11.2 seconds, seventh place in the 200-meter with 23.21 seconds and also competed on the third-place 4 x 100-meter relay team. The relay team of Harris, Spencer Fleming, Jordan Gonzalez and Kaelin Nelson finished in 43.31 seconds. Jensen, junior, barely missed finals as he placed ninth in the 800-meter with a time of 1:59.34. Bach, sophomore, made it onto the podium as he finished in eighth place with a distance of 49’ 1” in the shot put.

The Marysville Rotary Education Foundation gave out $173,500 in scholarships during their Awards Ceremony night on May 22. The foundation from the Marysville Rotary Club supports students from the Marysville, Lakewood and
Granite Falls school districts every year with flexible scholarships to be used for tuition or textbooks. “This will be the highest amount we’ve ever given out by a significant amount,” said Gayl Spillman, treasurer for the Marysville Rotary Education Foundation. The foundation also

gave out their largest scholarship ever, as well, with a $20,000 award to one Marysville Getchell High School student. Students come to the event to get their scholarship, learn how much they have received and to be recognized by the community. “We look forward to this night every year. And I think the reason is that we see such great things with the young people in our community,” said Jon Nehring, current president of the Marysville Rotary Club and the mayor of Marysville. He said he is always impressed with “how much they take on, the high level of achievement and how competitive things are for folks heading into college.” Spillman helps read through the applications and decide the amount to award to students and said she is always inspired by the students. “The neatest thing about this event is learning about these students. We had 88 students apply this year and when you read about
the lives and the struggles that those 88 students have and the difficulties they’ve overcome, it’s the most feel-good moment you can have,” she said. She said reading the students' work gives her hope for the coming generations. “Too often today we say that the youth are worthless, they don’t have any of this or any of that, but that’s not true for those that are going to be here tonight. Many have overcome great obstacles to get where they are,” she said. For many Rotary members, the scholarships are about giving the youth the best opportunity available. “You have to invest in our future generation if you invest in anything. And Rotary is all about serving our community, and who would we want to serve besides our youth,” said Spillman. The Rotary Club is happy to provide support to local students like that, said Daryn Bundy, president of the Marysville Rotary Education Foundation. “We will make it possible for you to attend a col-

lege, tech school or university, and for a few we will be supporting your aspirations and changing your life,” he said. “Your community supports you and your schools support you,” he said. The scholarships are awarded to a variety of students, not just those who are heading to university. “Some students use the
money for vocational education, students who go to four-year colleges, students who go to tech schools and students who go to Everett Community College,” said Spillman. The Rotary’s scholarships are funded through the foundation and are from the funds they raise throughout the year. “We take donations from several people who have died and left us in the will, or from the library and various other institutions,” said Spillman. “There’s a big fundraiser for us in November when we do our auction,” she said.

SR 530 projects will improve fish passage By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Washington State Department of Transportation plans to complete a couple of projects this summer along SR 530 that will cause some minor traffic delays for those traveling east from Arlington. Work on culverts that provide a barrier to Trafton Creek and Schoolyard Creek will begin in late May. “We’re replacing two barriers to fish passage, one at the Trafton Creek location and then another at the Schoolyard Creek location,” said Mikkel LaMay, WSDOT project engineer. Those two projects are about four miles east of Arlington. “We’re taking a small corridor and replacing it with a much bigger corridor to aid in fish passage to get the fish up to their habitat,” he said. This work is partially in response to a 2013 U.S. District Court ruling that the state’s culverts must be improved to create a better salmon habitat. “The Department of Fish and Wildlife does an inventory on all these culverts on their ability for fish to pass and these two in Trafton Creek and Schoolyard Creek have problems,” said LaMay. Fish have trouble making the jump out of the water for the Trafton Creek culvert and the water is moving too fast for the

Schoolyard Creek culvert. Traffic will be routed onto a single lane bypass at each location. “That will be controlled by temporary traffic signals,” said LaMay. “They can be adjusted as needed to accommodate traffic if more is coming from one direction than the other." In late May workers will begin building the bypasses. Traffic will begin to be affected when the Trafton bypass opens on July 1. It is expected to take longer and scheduled to be open until Sept. 16. “It’s a deep gully down there and they've got to dig
down about 50 to 60 feet,” said WSDOT public information officer Tom Pearce. The Schoolyard Creek bypass is scheduled to be open from July 29 to Aug. 20. The construction is expected to cost $12.7 million and those funds will come from WSDOT’s Fish Passage Program. Another project further east on SR 530 is also scheduled for the summer near the Sauk and Suiattle rivers. The $3.7 million project is funded by WSDOT with some federal funds as well, and is part of their CED
(Chronic Environmental Deficiencies) program. “This addresses areas that have been issues multiple times and affect fish,” said Shane Spahr, WSDOT project engineer. The area requires frequent road maintenance, which is not good for the fish habitat. Spahr said there will be one lane of alternating traffic through the work zone and to expect 5 to 10 minute delays. Work for this project is slated to start shortly after the Fourth of July and is expected to be finished by the end of August.

Airport receives FAA grant for maintenance By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
The Arlington Airport will be able to perform some needed maintenance to one of its taxiways thanks to a $1.1 million federal grant. The money is coming from the Federal Aviation Administration. “This was some discretionary dollars that the FAA decided to allocate to us,” said Kristin Banfield, communications manager for the city of Arlington. “I think this time around they really wanted to focus on some of the smaller airports that help general aviation and rural areas,” she said. The funds will be used to provide maintenance on one of the taxiways that airplanes at the airport use.
“This will be a 2020 project to help repave taxiway B at the airport,” said Banfield. “They’ll grind it down on the pavement and put a new layer of asphalt on top of it,” she said. Replacing the taxiway completely would cost more money in the long run than to perform periodic maintenance measures, said Banfield. “It’s better to do some interim maintenance than to wait and have to do a complete rebuild of the taxiway,” she said. This particular project has been on the airport staff ’s mind for the last couple of years, said Banfield, and she said they were glad to receive the money to do it. “This pavement has been in need of a replacement for quite some time now,” she said. The city was prepared to bud-
get for the project in the future but now has a little more flexibility. “We’re extremely fortunate that we got this grant funding because that means we won’t have to spend money from our own Capital Airport fund,” said Banfield. “Now we can focus on some other projects and improvements for the airport instead." Airplanes that are currently using the taxiway aren’t experiencing any problems with it, said Banfield, but because of the age of the taxiway and it’s current conditions there would likely be problems in the near future. “They would have soon experienced some problems, which is another reason why this is necessary to get done, to prevent those issues in the future,” she said. Airport and city staff were surprised at the grant money coming

bring more people to the park, however a splash pad was always envisioned as one of the final steps to improve the area. Parent Delana Hadaway said that she is looking forward to the splash pad. “I think it’s pretty cool. It’s a good thing for the kids and I know my kid will really love it,” she said. Many groups came together to put the splash pad together. “This was a community project. It was Rotary and a lot of people that played a part in this. The community took this park back,” said Ellis.
advocate for the local airport to receive funds. “We are thankful for our state delegation in Congress who worked to bring this grant money here,” said Banfield.
The Stillaguamish Tribe alone donated $550,000 to the splash pad project. “The river gives us life, it’s our way of life, however it is also unforgiving. Each and every year we hear of a tragedy or an almost tragedy that happens on the river,” said Shawn Yanity, chairman of the Stillaguamish Tribe. “So it is truly a blessing that families have a place to gather and the little ones have a nice, safe space to be out in the sun and get wet,” he said. Yanity said the Haller Park area historically was used as a gathering place for local Native tribes, especially before canoe journeys, so he is glad that the park
is becoming a community space again. “This area here is so fitting to have as a park, as it is one of our oldest gathering sites,” he said. The Stillaguamish Tribal Council was “very excited” to be a part of the project, said Yanity. “When the city comes to talk with us about doing things together we don’t look at it as the city coming to look for grants or to ask for money, we look at it as just a partnership. This is all our homes,” he said. In addition to the Tribe’s donation, the splash pad was brought to Haller Park with another half a million from a Washington state grant and more than $100,000 from the Arlington Rotary Club. “The pad would not be opening today without the work and fundraising efforts of the club. They also put their sweat equity into it as they were laying the sod just two weeks ago,” said Arlington Mayor Barb Tolbert. City staff and volunteers from the Arlington Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission also helped plan for a splash pad at the park. “These are the people who had the vision to include a splash pad in the city’s Parks Master Plan,” said Tolbert. Once the project got started city staff were “delighted to work with the community” she said. The Haller Park splash pad was officially opened to the public on May 24 and will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The current plan is for the splash pad to be open until Labor Day weekend. Children under 13 must be supervised and the splash pad cannot be reserved.

Arlington Public Schools installing portable to add classroom space A used portable classroom building is being installed just north of Presidents Elementary School. The portable, purchased from Monroe Public Schools in December 2018 for $50,000, will provide space for the Developmental Preschool currently located inside Presidents. The relocation of the preschool creates more space at Presidents for two new K-5 classrooms inside the existing school. "We are grateful for the opportunity to create more instructional space at a relatively low cost by acquiring this used portable building," said Brian Lewis, Executive Director of Operations for Arlington Public Schools. "A new

portable building would cost about $200,000 more than this one, so we were able to use the savings to pay for most of the installation costs." Crews have spent the past week adding utilities and leveling the ground for the portable. The 2,483 square foot building will have two classrooms in addition to two bathrooms and a kitchen for the preschool. The project was partially funded by a transfer to the school district's Capital Projects Fund and was included in the 2018-19 school budget. The Developmental Preschool will begin operating in its new location in September 2019.

time favorite canna. The dramatic green and yellow striped leaves are topped in summer with bright orange flowers. Tropicana (aka Phaison) — My second choice for gaudiness, this canna has foliage of purple with dramatic stripes of yellow and red evenly spaced throughout the leaf. Wonderfully shocking orange flowers top this 7’ tall plant. Canna glauca — There are two popular hybrids in this variety, ‘Panache’ and ‘Erebus’. They both have narrow grey-green foliage that is not so overpowering. ‘Panache’ sports dark pink buds that open to charming salmon-pink flowers and ‘Erebus’ has salmon flowers. I’ve tried both of
these and they work well in containers (they only grow 3’ tall), but overall they just aren’t robust enough for my tastes. Intrigue — This is a super variety that has narrow purple-grey leaves, delicate orange-red flowers and still grows 6 to 8 ft tall. Don’t be too concerned about finding these exact varieties as there are many new ones on the market, just plan on incorporating a few different selections for an all summer display of foliar and floral drama. You won’t be disappointed! Steve Smith is the owner of Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville, WA and can be reached at info@sunnysidenursery.net.
Canna lilies come in a wide range of varieties.
