Lakewood drama presents 'Crazytown' By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Lakewood High School drama students will bring the irreverent and absurd comedy ‘Crazytown’ to their stage this week. The play will be held on Nov. 21, 22 and 23 at 7 p.m. at the Lakewood High School Performing Arts Center at 17023 11th Ave. NE, Arlington. Cost is $8 for the general public and $5 for students with an ASB card. “It’s basically a giant comedy, definitely more along the satire lines. The kids are having a lot of fun with it because there’s a lot of current and pop culture references they get to make,” said Emily May, director of the school’s drama program. Students said they enjoyed the amount of humor in the play. See CRAZYTOWN on page 10

A local Relay for Life team held their annual Hope Holiday Bazaar in Marysville to raise thousands of dollars for cancer patient services and cancer research. This year the bazaar was held on Nov. 16.

"This is our big fundraiser," said Katie Thompson, one of the main organizers of the event. "This our team, 'Aunties Angels and a Few Uncles Too' and we're raising funds for our event on July 11 at Asbery Field. That is the main Relay for Life event for

Arlington considers roundabout for SR 530 intersection By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The city of Arlington will likely pursue a roundabout at the SR 530/Smokey Point Boulevard intersection after recently installing a temporary traffic light. The project to install a traffic light at the intersection was originally meant to be finished earlier in the year. “It did get delayed by about two to three months,” said Kristin Banfield, communications manager with the city of Arlington. “We had some issues with the bidding process,” she said. The city sent it out to bid later than planned and didn’t get any responses back when they did. “Now we have put up sort of a temporary solution before we do something more permanent,” she said. The original plan was to put up a traffic

light intersection before transitioning to a roundabout sometime in the future. “Based on the traffic flow that we’re seeing here now, we think we’re going straight to the roundabout,” said Banfield. Some of those traffic problems were caused by the sequence of the lights not lining up properly. “There was some timing issues with the lights that the Washington State Department of Transportation has in place near I-5,” said Banfield. Because the two intersections weren’t synced properly, the lights were aggravating traffic issues and causing unnecessary backups. The city received some complaints about the issue, said Banfield, however it has been corrected now. See SR 530 on page 2

“WSDOT continue to monitor the area to make sure the traffic keeps flowing,” she said. The increased backups have had people noticing the amount of traffic that is going along that stretch of SR 530 as well, said Banfield. “That sort of exacerbated what we’re seeing,” she said. “There’s more traffic in the area because of the general growth in the county.” Traffic on SR 530 comes from all over the area which

has been growing rapidly, said Banfield. “People have to get to I-5, whether they’re working north or in Seattle or Everett,” she said. “We have as many vehicles passing along that two lane street as we have at 172nd Street." Because of the increased traffic demands the city has decided to mainly pursue a roundabout and hopes to secure state funds for the project soon. “It’s really accelerated our time schedule,” said Banfield. The city is pursuing this interaction both in response

to current and expected future traffic demands, but also because of safety. “We’ve noticed a significant number of collisions and definite traffic safety concerns,” at that intersection, said Banfield. That stretch of SR 530 is nominally 35 mph, but many drivers coming off of a 70 mph highway or a 50 mph stretch of SR 530 are going much faster than that. “And because of that we see individuals taking changes turning left to get onto SR 530 from Smokey Point Boulevard,” said Banfield.

The problem has caused dangerous collisions and many tight turns. “What we heard were a lot of complaints of misses or near misses happening there,” said Banfield. She said the city hasn’t seen any collisions there since the intersection was installed. Banfield also wanted to thank the Stillaguamish Tribe who have been providing support for the issue. “We have enjoyed a great partnership with the Stilly Tribe and they have really stepped up in helping us with this project,” she said.

wide variety of vendors," said Thompson. Local Beth Schimke said she enjoys the local feel. "We just got here but we come all the time. There is lots of local crafts and stuff," she said. Santa Claus also comes out to take pictures with local children at the event. "I like that it is local and it is something in the community that we can visit and see Santa Claus," she said. Thompson said she enjoys interacting with the attendees and helping to put the show together. "You get to meet a lot of different people," she said. "I'm kind of a neurotic organization person and that's what I get to do here." Many of the vendors are happy to be involved in an event to support the American Cancer Society, she said. "It's fun to reach out to vendors and help them share our dream of curing cancer with everyone," said Thompson. Vendor Shelly Aragon said the event is going "fabulous" for her. She said she came out because "it's for a good cause, the American Cancer Society." Thompson said a lot of different types of businesses come out for the event. "We have a good mix of home businesses and we also have a lot of crafters and homemade stuff," she said, including jewelry, candles and antiques. "A lot of wood signs and rustic stuff which seems really popular this year," she said. Thompson said she is looking forward to the summer relay to support local cancer patients and cancer research. "We have a pretty big team. It's a family function. We have family that comes in from Oregon and all parts of Washington for the relay," she said.

Last year the team raised $2,000 from the event and around $12,000 total for Relay for Life. The American Cancer Society uses the funds for local cancer patient services, such as wigs or drives to doctor appointments, and also for scientific research. This year Thompson said they expect to raise about $3,500 from the event and said this year was their biggest event yet with 75 vendors. "So, we've almost doubled vendors from last year and that's super exciting," she said. Many people come out to support the cause and local vendors. "I think people like the tradition.

Levesque, Ray are newest members of ASD Board By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington School District Board of Directors will have two new members after two long-time board members decided not to run again this year. Mary Levesque and Michael Ray both ran unopposed in the recent general election and will soon take their place on the local school board. Ray takes the place of Jeff Huleatt. Ray has two children currently in the Arlington School District. “I am hoping to continue the strong work over the years that has been done by past members of the board,” he said. “I’ve been involved with the district over the last few years on a number of committees,” said Ray, including the facilities committee. The previous board of directors did good work, according to Ray, and he said his main goal is to serve the school district in a similar manner. “I’m just excited to get started and continue providing good guidance and governance for the district,” said Ray. “We want to continue putting the kids first and looking for the way to provide them education,” he said. Ray said he is open to hearing community concerns and advice for the schools. He also wanted to thank the community. “I appreciated the support I did receive from the

voters. I ran unopposed but many still marked my name down,” he COURTESY PHOTO said. Michael Ray “I hope to represent my constituents in a manner they continue to appreciate,” he said. The second new school board member, Mary Levesque, also takes the place of another long-time board member. “It’s a hard act to follow with Kay Duskin and her 20 years of service on the board,” she said. Levesque has three children currently in the district and three that have graduated. “My biggest motivation is my kids and improving their school experience,” she said. She said the district has some challenges she hopes to take some action on. “We have three funding measures coming on the ballot in February,” Levesque said. “There’s always concerns about safety and security,” that need addressing, she said. Math and test scores throughout the district need some improvement, but at the same time Levesque said she “doesn’t want the tests to become more important than the kids.” Mental health is another priority for Levesque. “Increasing the ‘happy

Lakewood pummels Sequim 38-12 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Lakewood football team matched up with the Sequim Wolves in the first round of the WIAA 2A State Tournament on Nov. 15. The Cougars came out on fire as they opened the game on a 70-yard run and scored within the first two minutes to go up 7-0. After the score, Lakewood got their first look at the Wolves' offense as they slowly inched down the field with their ground game. After an eight-minute drive, Sequim

was able to find the endzone but missed the PAT to close the gap at 7-6. Unfortunately for the Wolves, Lakewood wasn’t going to slow down as they scored yet again before the end of the quarter to put them up 14-6. In the second quarter, Lakewood continued to dominate the matchup as they forced a turnover on downs on Sequim’s next possession. After getting their offense back on the field, the Cougars went on another quick drive and scored on a 16-yard pass, 21-6. After forcing another

turnover on downs with 1:30 left in the half, Lakewood managed to extend their lead with 65-yard touchdown drive as they went into halftime up 28-6. The second half was more of the same as the Cougars scored a touchdown, forced a turnover on downs and grabbed an interception before subbing in their second unit in the fourth quarter. With their backups in for the fourth, Lakewood scored a field goal and allowed one touchdown to win the game by a score of 38-12. “It’s been our goal to get to State. We took care of this round and now we’re looking forward to the next one. Teams can try to game plan for us, but every week we are able to add new plays, find their weakness and expose it,” said Cougars’ senior quarterback Jared Taylor. Lakewood put up some big numbers on their offense behind Jared Taylor, Landen Pruitt and Carson Chrisman. Taylor went 10 for 15 passing with 127 yards and three touchdowns to go with his seven carries, 101 rushing yards

and one touchdown. Pruitt, senior running back, led the team with 10 rushes for 114 yards, one reception for 10 yards and one rushing touchdown. Chrisman, junior receiver, led all pass catchers with seven receptions, 111 yards and three touchdowns. “We did what we were supposed to do as a fiveseed going against a 12. Our competition is only going to keep getting harder so we’re going to enjoy this one for a little and then get right back to it. We want to have our best performance next week and hopefully take home some hardware when it’s all over,” said Lakewood Head Coach Dan Teeter. On the defensive side of the ball the Cougars were led by their linebackers Riley Krueger, Derek Robbins, Morgan Stacey and Jack Legore. Krueger, senior, and Robbins, junior, led the team with eight tackles each and one tackle for loss. Stacey, senior, finished with six tackles, one tackle for loss and a pass deflection. Legore, junior, also had six tackles, two tackles for loss and contributed on offense with four carries for 19 yards.

Seth, sophomore defensive end, had four tackles and a pass deflection in the second half. Dixon, junior defensive back, finished with three tackles and had a big 20-yard interception in the

third quarter. If you want to come out and support the Cougars, they will be travelling to battle the two-time defending State Champion Hockinson Hawks on Saturday, Nov. 23, for the second round of the WIAA 2A State Tournament.

Arlington's Bishop, Warner sign letters of intent By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Two Arlington High School baseball players signed their letters of intent to play college baseball on Nov. 13. Student Owen Bishop plans to go to South Dakota State University next year and Cole Warner plans to go to the University of Northern Colorado. Both players will be going into Division I baseball programs. Bishop said he was glad when he got the offer from South Dakota State University. “I was just pretty excited. It’s my lifelong dream and it’s all coming together,” he said. He has enjoyed the South Dakota campus when he’s traveled there, he said. “I’ve been there a couple of times,” said Bishop.

“It’s flatter than here, and cold, but I really like it. It’s pretty and there’s a good community,” he said. Many of the current Arlington High School baseball players have been friends and on many teams together. “It’s really like a brotherhood. I’ve been playing with most of these guys since I was around 10 years old,” said Bishop. “I’m going to miss my friends the most. It’ll be tough starting over, but it will be fun too,” he said. Cole Warner will stick just a little closer to the west coast with the University of Northern Colorado. “I got the call and I was really excited because I’ve been working on this my whole life. They’re the only D-1 college that saw I was ready for the D-1 level, and I really appreciated that,” he said. During his visit, Warner said

he liked the college. “I had a ton of community college looks and I loved those too and almost committed to one of those, but when I went to Northern Colorado I just fell in love with the coach, the community, the team there,” he said. Like Bishop, Warner said there will be a lot of friends he’ll miss from Arlington. “I’m going to miss the brotherhood and all the friendships I’ve created It’ll always stick with me but it will be different. I’ll definitely get that homesick feeling,” he said. The coach of the baseball team was also someone who supported him, said Warner. “[My coach] has really given me a role on the team where I can be a leader and I really appreciated that. I had to prove myself the first few years here and that motivated

I honestly think that made me a better baseball player,” he said. Warner also wanted to thank all the past Arlington High School graduates he’s played with that helped mentor him.

“Those guys made a big impact on my life and baseball career. They helped me to become the baseball player I am today and I couldn’t thank them enough,” he said.

Eagles take 3rd at District Tourney, move on to state By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The undefeated Arlington volleyball team took on the Ferndale Golden Eagles in the second round of the District One 3A Tournament on Nov. 14. Ferndale got off to a fast start as they went on a 6-1 run before the Eagles called their first time out. After the break, Arlington collected themselves and went on a 7-2 run to get them back into the set, 8-8. Arlington continued to grab the momentum as they started to develop a lead, forcing the Golden Eagles to call a time out down 16-12. Both teams fought for each point, but Ferndale caught fire near the end to close out the set 25-22. The second set was neck-to-neck from the very beginning as they found themselves tied at 15-15 halfway through the set. Following the tie, Arlington was able to go on a short run and established a 19-16 lead as the Golden Eagles called a time out. Through the rest of the set there were three time-outs called and a handful of lead changes as the Eagles took it into extra points, winning the set 28-26. Arlington came into the third set with some confidence, forcing the Golden Eagles to take a time out after falling behind by four points, 12-8. Following the break, Ferndale went on a quick 7-3 run tying it up at 15-15 as

the Eagles took a time out of their own. The Golden Eagles managed to create a small lead shortly after and kept Arlington at bay, taking the set 25-23. In the fourth set it was more of the same, as Ferndale looked to punch their ticket to State and the Eagles held on to fight for a fifth set. It was a battle as neither team was able to establish a significant lead. In the end, the Golden Eagles were able to hand Arlington their first loss of the season with a 25-22 fourth set and a set score of 3-1. “I think our nerves got the best of us early on and they exposed some weaknesses that we haven’t had exposed yet. The good part about that is we are able to take this as a learning opportunity,” said Arlington Head Coach Whitney Williams. The Eagles front line of Arianna Bilby, Emily Mekelburg and Teagan Sutherland played a big part in keeping each match extremely close. Bilby, senior outside hitter, led the team in kills with 17 as well as having 14 digs and one ace. Mekelburg, sophomore outside hitter, filled the stat sheet with 11 kills, 12 digs, three aces and one block. Sutherland, junior middle blocker, had the team-high in blocks with five to go with her three kills and three digs. Arlington’s back line was led by Taylor Helle and Taylor Pederson. Helle, junior libero, had the team-high in digs, 15, as well as five assists, one kill

and one ace. Pederson, sophomore setter, also led the team with her assists, 16, to go with her 11 digs and one ace. “It was great to see our team able to keep their composure, especially with how many young players that we have out there. It makes me really excited for what we can do now as well as what we will look like in the future,” said Coach Williams. Following their loss against Ferndale, Arlington matched up with Shorecrest and Oak Harbor on Saturday, Nov. 16. After beating them both by a combined set score of 6-0, the Eagles took third place in the District Tournament and earned a spot in the State Tournament. Over the two matches the Eagles biggest standouts were Bilby, Mekelburg, Pederson and Brookelynn Ramey. Bilby led all competitors with 27 kills, six aces, 25 digs and one block all together. Mekelburg totaled 18 kills, five aces and 11 digs over the two matches. Pederson led the team with a total of 37 assists, six digs and one ace. Ramey, sophomore setter, was right behind her with 30 assists and two digs. If you want to travel to support the Eagles, their next match will be against the Peninsula Seahawks on Friday, Nov. 22, at 8 a.m. This will be for the first round of the WIAA 3A State Tournament located at the SunDome in Yakima.

Mountain View defeats Chargers By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville Getchell girls soccer team hosted the Mountain View Thunder in the first round of the 2019 WIAA 3A State Girls Soccer Tournament, on Nov. 12. The Chargers entered the match on a streak of shutout victories, not allowing a goal since Oct. 17. From the first possession they put pressure on the

Thunder as they took deep shots with their defenders and worked the ball downfield. Marysville Getchell was able to take a few shots early but seemed to send them a little too high. In the 15th minute, Mountain View was able to work their way through the Charger defense and squeezed a shot right below the crossbar to pull ahead 1-0. Through the rest of the half Marysville Getchell controlled time of

possession but failed to find the back of the net, entering halftime down 1-0. In the second half the Thunder came in with a lot of energy and kept the ball in Charger territory as they created more shot attempts. Mountain View managed to sneak a pass across the middle of the field and hit one just under the crossbar once again to pull ahead 2-0 in the 53rd minute. After falling behind further the Chargers continued to battle and managed to create a few scoring opportunities throughout the half. Unfortunately, Marysville Getchell was unable to find the back of the net as they lost to Mountain View by a final score of 2-0. “Falling behind early was hard but it was good to see them fight back and play really hard all the way through. They kept fighting and never gave up so that’s all I can ask of them,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Sarah Hereth. The Chargers’ seniors on the offensive side contributed with quick passes and created shots. At the forward positions Jadin Thompson-Sheldon and Alivia Doll controlled the ball deep in Thunder territory along the sidelines. The main facilitators for Marysville Getchell were Sofia Trujillo, Tristan Fetro and

Madison Hagglund who pushed the ball upfield and intercepted Thunder possessions all night. On the defensive end, Marysville Getchell was led by their senior trio of Faith Sherman, Kortney Crane and Maddy Grandbois. Sherman and Crane played physical all night and stopped Mountain View possessions repeatedly with their athleticism. Grandbois, goalkeeper, made a handful of saves and despite the two goals allowed, played at a high level organizing the defense. “I feel so lucky that I was able to coach this team. They are an incredible group of women on and off the field, and I feel incredibly blessed to have had the honor to have them in my first year. We had an amazing group of leaders and it will be hard to replace everything they brought to this team,” said Coach Hereth. With this loss, the Marysville Getchell seniors have played their last game as Chargers and their season has officially ended. The Chargers had an incredible year as they finished with an overall record of 14-5-1 and league record of 10-40. They also secured the 3A District One Championship in Coach Hereth’s first season as the program's Head Coach.

Cedarcrest students present 'The Bachelor King' By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Cedarcrest Middle School’s drama program brought the royal comedy ‘The Bachelor King’ to life on Nov. 14 to 16. The play is the first ‘true comedy’ that the school has performed, said director Darren Oke. “This is a pretty crazy story about a hillbilly who accidentally becomes king and the palace staff who tries to make him competent while searching for a wife for him,” said Oke. “They end up having a reality TV show competition, much like ‘The Bachelor,’ to find him a bride,” he said. Students had a number of colorful roles as part of the performance. “There’s a lot of fun personalities and a lot of different sorts of characters,” said Oke. Yokel, played by student Leif Winter, is a fool who ascends to the throne and is the main character of the play. “He has no idea about what’s going on at all and is clueless about the big world,” said Winter. Student Christopher Ross plays Frederick Pilfer, the king’s corrupt advisor. “My character is very deceiving, persuasive and an evil figure. His only goal is to steal all the money available,” said Ross. Ross said he enjoyed playing such a dynamic, antagonist role. “In reality I’m not a bad person, but his persuasiveness and his comedic manner is a lot like my way of approaching situations,” he said. This is the fourth year that Cedarcrest Middle School has had a drama program and they have performed eight plays so far. “The drama program has grown and become something that lots and lots of kids have wanted to be a part of, as well as their parents,” said Oke. “I feel like we can handle bigger shows now and get more kids involved,” he said. Oke said it provides a lot of opportunities for the students. “It gives kids that might not otherwise find an activity or a group a chance to participate in something where they can let go of other concerns and step out of their comfort zone,” he said. Student Jimmy Faria, who plays King Evian, said he enjoys being a part of the program. “It builds a community and a family. You make a lot

With the production it is really fun to act, but a lot of fun is also just getting to meet new people,” he said. Although sometimes it does get emotional when your peers eventually move on to high school. “Last year in the musical we had a lot of different people who had been in the program a long time leave and it was a lot of tears,” said Faria. Winter said he enjoyed just being able to act as different characters.

“You can really act how you want to act. If you act weird in reality people might look at you weird. It’s great fun to do what you want and make friends,” he said. Ross encourages people to support local theater. “Go see community plays. You may think ‘no, plays, those aren’t for me,’ and I used to think that too. But when I first saw a play I thought ‘I dig this.’” he said. “It’s like the reality you want but can’t have,” said Winter.

Protect yourself from cold and flu season Fall is here and winter is right around the corner. This means football, pumpkins, hot cocoa and the holiday season. Unfortunately with the weather turning cold and rainy this also means the spread of respiratory infections is going to rise. It is time to bundle up to stay warm and healthy. It is important to take extra care of ourselves in order to give our immune system the best chance of defending us from coming down with one of the nasty bugs inevitably going around. Most respiratory infections are caused by viruses including the common cold and the flu. The common cold, aka rhinopharyngitis, is an upper respiratory infection (URI) caused by any one of many different viruses. It causes symptoms such as runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, sometimes a cough and no or low fever. It typically lasts 3-14 days. The flu is caused specifically by influenza viruses and although it also affects the upper respiratory tract it causes body-wide symptoms as well. People with the flu usually experience fever, fatigue, chills, body aches, headache and nausea along with congestion and cough. The flu typically lasts 1-2 weeks with the worst symptoms only lasting a few days. Every year the specific flu strain and severity varies. Generally, the flu season starts in October or November and lasts until Spring. Besides those classic infections of “cold and flu” season there is also strep pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchiolitis, croup, pertussis aka whooping cough, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Children in particular are most at risk of bronchiolitis, croup and pertussis. Those under 2 years old are at increased risk of respiratory distress from these airway infections. Strep pharyngitis and pertussis are caused by bacteria. Pneumonia, which is an infection of the air sacs in the lungs, can be viral, bacterial or fungal. It

Dr. Jennalyn McBride can be especially dangerous for the young and elderly. Any time symptoms include a high fever, wheezing or difficulty breathing, chest discomfort or coughing up blood it is imperative to seek urgent medical attention. Also if your symptoms are not improving after 2 weeks or if you are unsure about your condition it is a good idea to get checked out by a doctor. The standard recommendations to prevent getting sick of frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with ill individuals are always relevant, but there is so much more you can do to support your body’s ability to fight off infection. First off, make sure to get enough sleep. During sleep the body does

its repairs and the immune system is more active, so a lack of sleep weakens your body’s ability to self heal and clear germ exposures before it takes root in your system. Secondly, make sure to eat a diet high in vegetables and fruits to ensure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs to function. Foods high in vitamin C and other antioxidants like citrus, berries or spinach are great options. Foods high in zinc such as seafood and legumes are also good choices. Some foods like garlic, onions and ginger are naturally antimicrobial. Some spices like horseradish, rosemary and thyme not only support the immune system, but are specific to the respiratory tract. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that can also help to open the airways, plus sipping tea can warm you up in the cold weather. Taking probiotics has been shown to reduce frequency of respiratory infections. There are also immune supporting vitamins and herbs such as vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc, vitamin E, vitamin D, elderberry, astragulus and mushroom extracts. Consult a doctor to know

which ones and what dosing is best for you or your family. If you do get sick make sure to rest. Pushing through the illness will usually result in symptoms lingering for longer. Steam inhalations and saline nasal sprays can help to clear mucus. The same vitamins and herbs listed above can also be helpful in clearing infections at different doses. Additionally, herbs like

echinacea, licorice, yarrow and goldenseal have antimicrobial properties beneficial in treating infection. Other herbs such as English ivy or wild cherry can help with coughing. In cases where it is a bacterial infection then antibiotics may be indicated. There are a few prescription options for the flu, but all need to be started early to have benefit and typically only shorten symptoms by 1-2 days. Regardless of the

type of infection the earlier you get treatment the better so schedule with your doctor to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment options. Better yet boost your immune system naturally and stay healthy.

'A Christmas Wish' benefits Arlington families By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Arlington’s local ‘A Christmas Wish’ toy drive has begun and raises funds and collects items to be given away to local families in need. “This benefits the kids of the communities of Arlington and Darrington,” said Lyanne Rolf, one of the organizers of this year’s event and director of the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. Community members and local businesses have helped run the toy giveaway each year to help families. This year the giveaway will be held on Dec. 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club. “Families sign up for the program, either through the local food bank or through the Boys & Girls Club,” said Rolf. Those who need help this holiday season can call 360-435-4442 for more information or to set up an appointment. Families must show some proof of residency and need to be a part of the program, said Rolf. For each child, families will receive pajamas or a hoodie, a toy, a stocking stuffer, a blanket, and a game (often a board game). Rolf enjoys seeing all of the families who come through on the day of the event. “I like just seeing the amount of items that come from the community and the number of people that receive them,” she said.

The last couple of years have been hosted by the local Boys & Girls Club. “Now they have partnered with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club and it has been a great partnership,” said Rolf. The event was started few years ago by a local banker, Tina Davis, who worked with banks in the area to gather donations. “When she was a kid her family was sponsored through a similar program,” said Rolf. Now Davis gives back to the Arlington community by helping this local program. Rolf said the program accepts a variety of unused, unopened toys and gifts. “This year our goal is to get a lot of items for the teens and gift cards,” she

said. They usually give out gift cards in $25 increments as part of the program. The toy drive will be held until Dec. 10. “We have lots of local businesses that are collecting toys and gift cards,” said Rolf. Businesses and organizations accepting donations include S&S Roofing, the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, the Arlington Co-Op, Traditions Tattoo, Country Rose, Symmetry Chiropractic, Stilly Auto Parts, Stilly Diner, Moe’s on Olympic, Grocery Outlet, Jimmy Johns, the Lakewood Starbucks, the Lakewood Red Robin, Coastal Community Bank, the downtown Arlington Bank of America, Columbia Bank and Banner Bank.

Opinion

n BEING FRANK

Salmon coalition a return to cooperation The Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition is looking forward to another year of working together to accomplish responsible management through responsible leadership. We formed the coalition of tribal, state and local policy leaders, sport and commercial fishermen, conservation groups, scientists, business and others following the inaugural Billy Frank Jr. Pacific Salmon Summit in March 2018. Our goal is to return to the kind of cooperation that has always been the key to natural resources management in our region. Earlier this month, we presented our priorities at the second Salmon Summit. They include restoring and protecting disappearing salmon habitat, enhancing hatchery production, and management of seal and sea lion populations. We are advocating for expanding salmon habitat by supporting protection of streamside habitat through uniform, science-based requirements across the region. That means creating healthy streamside buffers with plenty of mature trees and vegetation that keep water temperatures low, stabilize riverbanks and contribute to diverse in-stream habitat for salmon. We are working to revise habitat standards in the state’s Growth Management Act and other land-use protection guidelines from one of No Net Loss to one of Net Gain. We know that we are losing salmon habitat faster than it can be restored and that the status quo does not lead to salmon recovery. We also advocate for a statewide

Lorraine Loomis permit tracking system to create transparency, accountability and efficiency in tracking land-use decisions. Healthy habitat is critical for both naturally spawning and hatchery salmon to sustain their populations. Until habitat can be restored, hatcheries remain key to salmon recovery. The Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition supports increased state, federal and other funding to provide for increased salmon production and maintenance of state, federal, tribal and non-profit hatchery facilities in the region. We also support increased hatchery production in key watersheds to produce salmon for Indian and nonIndian fisheries and contribute to prey availability for southern resident orcas based on the latest science. We know that predation by pinnipeds such as harbor seals and California sea lions on both adult and juvenile salmon is out of balance and slowing salmon recovery significantly. Harbor seal populations in the Salish Sea alone have grown from about 8,500 to nearly 80,000 in the past two decades. It has been documented that seals and sea lions are eating more than six times the

number of salmon harvested by fishermen. Our coalition is developing recommendations to maintain stable seal and sea lion populations that won’t undermine salmon recovery efforts. As a first step we are calling for an assessment of the status of pinniped populations in this region to determine the optimal sustainable populations of harbor seal and sea lion stocks that won’t slow salmon recovery. If need be, we support lethal removal of problem animals similar to efforts on the Columbia River. There are no more easy answers when it comes to salmon recovery. Those got used up a long time ago. What we are left with is hard work. We can only be successful if we work together to do what we agree is necessary, then speak that truth together to everyone who lives here. The Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition was developed to honor Billy’s legacy by connecting the best in all of us to face the challenges before us and do the work needed to maintain the health, wealth and culture of our region. You can find out more about the Billy Frank Jr. Salmon Coalition at https:// salmondefense.org/projects/ advocate/coalition/ Being Frank is a monthly column written by the chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. As a statement from the NWIFC chair, the column represents the natural resources management interests and concerns of the treaty Indian tribes in western Washington.

Our Favorite Quotes "Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." Author — William Arthur Ward Submitted by North County Outlook editor Scott Frank.

n LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you for supporting North County Fire/EMS North County Regional Fire Authority (known as North County Fire/EMS) wants to thank voters for approving our recent fire levy lid lift request. Funding will be used to hire additional emergency personnel and purchase apparatus to respond to increasing call volumes. This election was one of the closest in the county. (While 50.36% approved the lid lift, 49.64% did not.) That tells us we need to work harder to explain why the funding is necessary, and how it will be used responsibly to save lives and property.

We will communicate with you every step of the way about service improvements as they happen. I also encourage residents to review our Strategic Plan on our website (www.northcountyfireems.com). It is a blueprint that guides our spending decisions and was developed with extensive community input. In the meantime, please know that we are grateful and will not let you down. Sincerely, John Cermak, Fire Chief North County Regional Fire Authority

asking for the opportunity to direct and we would always run out of time in the schedule to do one-act plays, so when we found this play we thought this is a good comedy with these separate acts,” she said. This is the first play the school has tried student directors. “It’s been fascinating to see them grow into this experience,” said May. Students said they are learning a lot about what goes in to making a play work. “It’s been really interesting. It’s cool to see behind the curtain and see what our teacher has to deal with,” said Kael Bartness, one of the student directors. “It’s a lot of things that you wouldn’t have thought about,” he said. Johnson also agreed that she’s learning a lot. “I’ve been a part of this program since it started and it’s fun to see all the new faces and get to work with them and coach them on the basics of acting and blocking,” she said. Students said they enjoyed being part of the drama community at the school and like the studentled aspects of this play. “I really enjoy being stage manager because I get to figure out where everything goes,” said Schandel. “It’s fun to be involved. I used to be an actor but I still like being involved in the plays.” Actors agreed that they enjoyed being part of something being put together largely by students. “I like everything the student directors have been doing, it’s really coming together,” said Reitz. “It’s going well even with this being the first year of us doing this,” she said. “And that’s not just us trying to sell the play, we really think it’s coming together well and I enjoy the script,” said Burroughs.

AAC's Legends of the Blues returns Nov. 23 By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington Arts Council’s Legends of the Blues concert returns to the Byrnes Performing Arts Center again on Nov. 23. Janiva Magness will headline the show. The Grammy-nominated and 28-time Blues Music Awards nominee artist will sing at the show which begins at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6 p.m. “This is our seventh annual blues concert,” said Sarah Arney, president of the Arlington Arts Council. “It’s a grand finale of sorts,” as

one of the main organizers is retiring from setting it up after this year, and AAC will decide whether to continue holding the concert over the next year, she said. “This is another bit of a fundraiser for the Arlington Arts Council,” said Arney. “The Lodging Tax Grant pays for a lot of the costs for this,” although the Arlington Arts Council still paid for some of it this year, said Arney. The grant is meant to help promote tourism to the community. Any money raised goes back to the council’s general fund for their projects in Arlington.

“We provide a lot of services throughout the year,” said Arney. The Arlington Arts Council runs the photo contest at the Arlington Eagle Festival, the Art in the Park event to feature local artists and kids activities at the Arlington Street Fair. In years past they have put up a number of different public art pieces, although the amount they have to spend on those projects may change going forward. “This year is a bit different because the city now has a fund for public art,” said Arney. In addition to being a fundraiser, the concert is also just a way to

bring more music into the Arlington community, said Arney. “We like all of the arts, including the blues,” she said. Magness is a little more broad in her style than previous artists, said Arney. “This artist will be a little different from what we’ve had in the past,” she said, because Magness mixes in elements of R&B and country songs. “The opening act is a number of jazz artists from around the region,” said Arney. The NW All Star Blues Broads contain six awardwinning female blues singers from around the Pacific Northwest.

Arney said that the Arlington Arts Council works with a number of blues enthusiast groups to promote the event. “We have a great partnership” with local blues organizations, she said. “People generally come from all around the Puget Sound, so this helps get people from out of town to come see Arlington as well,” said Arney. Tickets for the event are $20 at brownpapertickets.com or at Flowers by George at 335 N Olympic Ave., Arlington. Tickets will be $25 at the door. Youth 12 and under enter for free.
