ARLINGTON — After nearly two years as the “Singing Cowboy” of Hawaii, country musician Jesse Taylor has come home to Arlington, albeit with a side-trip to Nashville.

The 24-year-old Taylor began working as a wran-gler at the Koele Stables on the island of Lanai, which is part of Hawaii, in August of 2010, just one month after he’d been playing his guitar in a little bar just east of Kalispell, Mont., where he first caught the ear of the wife of the manager of the Koele Stables.

When the Koele Stables manager himself called Taylor on the phone a few weeks later to offer him a chance to ride horses and play music in Hawaii, it represented the culmina-

tion of a year and a half of hard work and lean living on his part, starting after he was laid off from his job in January of 2009. He record-ed a CD of 10 songs that he’d written in his mother’s kitchen, and then traveled back and forth across the continental United States from May through August of that year to promote his music.

“In Hawaii, I was singing every day,” Taylor said. “I practiced for hours between rides. I grew as a singer and songwriter, but I got bored by the same old trails.”

Before Taylor came home to perform in downtown Arlington venues, he spent the month of November at Marina McBride’s Blackbird Studio in Nashville, record-ing his second album, which includes nine songs that he

wrote and two more written by his father.

“Kenny Chesney and J. Michael Montgomery were there at the same time,” Taylor said. “Everyone there was professional and had no ego. Nashville is just a really big family. Being around people who are so much better pushes you to do better.”

Just as Taylor credits his father with teaching him how to play the guitar at rodeos, so too does he pay tribute to his mother with the name of his label, “Mama’s Kitchen Records,” a nod to how he record-ed his first album in her kitchen.

Taylor’s role models in country music include Waylon Jennings, George Strait and Chris LeDoux, and he believes his authen-ticity helps set his own music apart from his peers.

“I want people to know that I’m an actual cowboy,” Taylor said. “What’s in my songs isn’t just made up. It’s based on my lived expe-riences. I want my con-certs to feel like rodeos. Hopefully, people swing by, have a good time and dance with some girls.”

After performing at the Mirkwood and Shire Cafe and the White Horse Tavern in downtown Arlington, Taylor’s next performance is set for 5 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19, at the Skookum Brewery, located at 17925 59th Ave. NE in Arlington.

He expects that “Out Here in the Country,” the first single from his new album, will hit local radio stations this month, before its offi-cial release on March 26, which he plans to celebrate with a party at the Skookum Brewery on March 23.

“Hawaii was great, but believe it or not, I actu-ally missed the weather out here,” said Taylor, who also aims to do a radio tour in February and to follow the rodeo circuit starting in April. “I couldn’t wait to get back home and see the faces of my friends and family here. I missed the rain, and I missed the small-town vibe of this place. I love this town.”

Carrie Byrum, Scott Derr, Sid Logan, Nola Smith, Jason Busch, Michelle Foster, Fritz Fittinger and Jean Simpson.

In addition to Bullock as president, DABA’s Executive Board includes Vice President Tami Sauter and Whitis as secretary/treasurer.

“It’s been quite a chal-lenge,” said Bullock, who estimated that she’s been involved with the downtown Arlington merchants for 12 years, as she addressed the Chamber and DABA mem-bers during the Jan. 8 swear-ing-in ceremony. “When the existing DABA Board resigned in September, I stepped in along with Nola [Smith], Debbie [Whitis] and Rich Senff [of Action Sports on Olympic Avenue]. Our December election of

new Board members got us moving forward again, and we’re on track for a good new year.”

Bullock reported that the Arlington Hometown Holidays proved to be a con-siderable success “in spite of the weather,” with this year’s wagon riders numbering more than 318 over the course of the three days of wagon rides in December.

“There’s a family from Bellevue that’s made our Hometown Holidays their family tradition,” Bullock said. “Our events are bring-ing in people from all over to Arlington.”

Bullock reported that this year promises the return of such familiar favorites as the May Hunt, the Street Fair, the “Show N Shine” Car Show and the October Hunt.

“Our biggest challenge is getting all our businesses back on board,” Bullock

said. “If you’re a Chamber member, it costs nothing to be on DABA.”

Smith added that Hometown Holidays would also be on tap for this year, and encouraged Chamber and DABA members to do outreach of their own to bolster attendance at their events.

“This has been hard work, but fun,” Bullock said.

Morse expressed her appreciation to outgoing Chamber President Logan, Past President Jesica Stickles and Board member John Cronin, as well as outgoing DABA Vice President Smith and Board members Senff and Tyler Moore.

“On behalf of the Arlington-Smokey Point business communities, please accept our gratitude for your service and com-mitment that benefits our entire community,” Morse said.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Armed Forces Reserve Center hosted a his-toric change of command ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 5.

“Today marks two mile-stones,” said Maj. Gen. William Frink Jr., commanding gen-eral of the 79th Sustainment Support Command. “In addi-tion to being the first change of command for the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, it is also the first major event to be held at this brand new state-of-the-art facility. We moved the ESC headquarters from Fort Lawton when they were downrange, officially clos-ing Fort Lawton in February. This is the first major public community ceremony since the 364th returned from deployment, so thank you for allowing me to visit your new home and take part in your first change of command since returning from your successful deployment.”

Brig. Gen. Jonathan G. Ives, who had commanded the unit since its formation in 2009, left to become the deputy commanding gen-eral of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit in New Orleans. Brig. Gen.

I. Neal Black, the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command’s new command-ing general, comes to the Puget Sound after serving as deputy commander for mobi-lization at the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.

“While commanding the 364th, Gen. Ives successfully deployed the unit to Kuwait to handle the historic draw-down of forces from Iraq,” Frink said. “Even though the 364th was mobilized two years ahead of sched-ule, Jonathan and his amaz-ing group of soldiers handled that mission — the largest logistical operation since World War II — with skill and professionalism, ensuring the president’s directive was enacted. As Gen. Ives himself said, you got ‘em home for the holidays.”

Frink noted that, under Ives’ command, 68,000 troops and 11,000 truckloads of equipment came safely out of Iraq, which means the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command successfully exe-cuted the single largest logis-tical movement in the history of the U.S. Army.

“The 364th literally closed the door on the Iraq the-ater after seven years of war,”

Frink said. “This deployment illustrates just how true it is that the Army doesn’t roll without the Army Reserve.”

After congratulating Ives on the birth of his daughter on Nov. 21, the day before Thanksgiving — “If that’s not an excellent reason to give thanks, I don’t know what is” — Frink moved on to praise Black as a more-than-worthy successor.

“Neal is the type of leader who empowers his soldiers,” Frink said. “He gives them the opportunity to excel at missions that they might have initially thought were beyond them. This is what the 364th needs in its reset phase, is a leader who gives his soldiers the mission and lets them make it happen. This reset phase is an opportunity to build the 364th in his own vision. Reset can be challeng-ing, but it’s also rewarding. I look forward to seeing what the 364th will look like this time next year.”

When asked to look back on his legacy, Ives referred instead to the collective lega-cy of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command under his watch.

“Our legacy is about how we stood up the command, how we grew and mobilized the command, and how we

have become the best ESC in the U.S. Army,” Ives said. “We have done a significant amount of work. When you look back in three short years since 2009, we have struc-tured an operational com-mand with Force Generation Mission Command responsi-bilities when there was none before.”

Ives admitted that, when his unit received its alert order, more than a few senior officers expressed doubts about its capability and readi-ness.

“If there is one personal legacy to remember about Brig. Gen. Ives, it is this,” Ives said. “I believed in you. I was fully convinced the 364th would be successful in Kuwait or any theater. Was it simply a commander’s bravado, or just hubris? Maybe a little bit, but truly, it was because I was witness to how you were forming, and I was internal to the culture of the 364th. What I saw then, you still have. It is your culture, and you will never lose it.”

Ives credited his troops with forming a command and team in six months, manag-ing the largest retrograde in the history of the U.S. Army in 56 days, saving more than $200 million through their logical hub, and nearly $20

million by reassessing their force structure.

“So remember, when called to duty, you answered,” Ives said. “Further, when you answered, you exceeded the standard, with what I have come to realize are two cul-tural values of the Army Reserve — mission without ego, and serving as an advo-cate of the taxpayer.”

Like Frink, Ives thanked the assembled civic leaders and civilian family members and friends in attendance for their support of the military.

By contrast to his peers, Black was a self-described

man of few words.“To Maj. Gen. Frink, I

promise you I will give you my full effort to keep this a top command,” Black said. “To Brig. Gen. Ives, I prom-ise you I will not screw up what you’ve given me. To my soldiers, I promise you I will make my decisions with you in mind. The mission will come first, as it must, but I will take care of you, just as you take care of the mission. When people thank me for my service, I tell them it is my pleasure to get to work with dedicated young men and women like you.”

Christmas came and went. Somehow, I wasn’t able to get geared up for it this

time around. That might have had something to do with no little ones around since so much of the joy is reflected from children. We seniors sometimes have to work at crank-ing up the enthusiasm to join in the general mood of the season.

We started with some mild outdoor decorating, mild because we’re now condo-dwellers with CC&Rs to observe. That stands for Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which means our grounds are supposed to look like everyone else’s grounds and if we dare to try something unique, we’ll hear from the Conformity Police, i.e. the governing board of the homeowners’ association. So far, we haven’t caught any flak from lining our walkway with lights.

With one of our offspring’s fam-ily sunning in Hawaii and two oth-ers spending Christmas with the outlaws, we settled for pulling the family together on December 29. A son and daughter live at opposite ends of Lake Stevens and the other daughter lives in Sammamish (The apples didn’t fall far from the tree). So we’re able to get together often enough that there’s no need to be fussy about when our frequent and slightly riotous meetings take place.

The Christmas blahs also might have something to do with how the Graef clan rejects commercial-ized Christmas. Presents included homemade pickles and jellies. The grandkids got souvenir gifts from our last travels plus a few coins from Uruguay, Argentina and Chile to add to their collections. We adults do a wine exchange while the kids each received a gift card — everything from Sports Authority to Regal Cinema. In both groups, each person had one chance to exchange with someone else and

since each person was covetous of what someone else held, this got a little wild.

We were fifteen around two tables. With a number of them leaning heavily toward vegetarian-ism, we offered two flavors of curry with chicken or shrimp options among fruit and veggie toppings. About toppings, I spent the morn-ing turning onions, tomatoes, papaya, pineapple and bananas into tiny cubes. Yogurt and mint-pepper sauces and heaps of that Indian flat-bread, nan, completed the feast.

Curry and toppings took care of our end of dinner preps. According to a newish family tradition, the host provides a main entrée and guests bring the rest, which in the case of my younger daughter, Emily, can always be dangerous.

After desert, a pear upside-down cake topped with whipped cream, a call came from the kitchen: “Who’s for coffee?” On it came and it was only afterward that Emily passed the coffee package around. It was kopi luwak.

For the uninitiated, kopi luwak is also known as cat-poop coffee. It’s been found that civet cats in Indonesia have a taste for the best beans which they ingest but can’t digest so out they come, pretty much whole except for digestive juices cutting the beans’ acidity. Some adventurous Indonesian must have really been hard up for a cup of coffee when he became first to extract beans from poop found near a civet cat’s nest. The stuff is incredibly expensive which seems to add to its allure.

We have to watch Emily. She’s hoodwinked us before and she’s sure to try again. And with elephant poop coffee and panda poop tea now available — yes, it’s true, you can buy them on-line — she may not be through with us yet. At any rate, we gave our Hamilton Beach Coffee Station a thorough cleaning.

During a past Christmas exchange, she gave us each an odd-shaped piece of red plastic. After letting us puzzle over what to do with them she stepped out of sight to demonstrate, producing a mel-low flute-like rendition of Jingle Bells. It didn’t help. No one figured them out. Turns out, they were nose whistles. You breathe into one through the nose, changing pitch by changing the shape of your mouth. That was many years ago and I still pull mine out now and then to amaze friends or confuse enemies.

One year my son gave me a hand-crafted putter (with head cover). That turned out to be a piece of tree-branch with a right angle knot at the end, somewhat trimmed up to resemble a putter. The head-cover was a real head cover, a fox’s head with ears and little beady eyes he picked up at a tannery. A few stitches made it fit like a regular head cover. It holds the record for the most disgusting present I’ve ever received.

While the Christmas nonsense is over, the real and timeless message of Christmas will continue to guide our days. The tree is down and packed away. Decorations likewise. Furniture moved to accommodate fifteen has been horsed back into place. It’s all put away — except for recollections of another fantastic family gathering that remain fresh in our memories.

A happy New Year to all.

BOB GRAEFOPINION

LETTER TO THE EDITORSchools need a full arts program

Dr. Larry Nyland, Superintendent of the Marysville School District, recently announced his retirement effective at the end of the current school year. Praise for his efforts at improving instruction and test scores in the district will no doubt be heaped on him prior to his leaving, and Dr. Nyland’s hard work and ded-ication to his vision certainly deserve to be acknowledged.

Yet, since 2004, decisions made by Marysville School District officials under Dr. Nyland’s supervision have resulted in the gutting of arts education programs district-wide.

A robust choral music program that at one time featured a full-time choir teacher and five performing choirs at M-PHS has been slashed to just one small choir at M-PHS and one at MGHS campus, plus a small choir that meets after school hours at Marysville Getchell. One thousand students in three smaller learning com-munities on the MG campus are not allowed to take choir during the school day even if they want to because of a “no crossovers” policy that allows only students in the International School of Communications to sign up for choir. Again, that is two choirs for 2,900 students.

The numbers for band and drama are equally appalling. The only band opportuni-

ties that exist at MGHS are a small jazz ensemble that meets before school, and a recently formed pep band that meets after school. There are no opportunities for students to act in plays or musical plays at Marysville Getchell, because drama pro-grams do not exist there.

The situation in visual arts instruction is a little bet-ter, but not much. All four SLCs at Marysville Getchell offer at least one visual arts course, but most of these are entry-level drawing or graph-ics courses. No ceramics, advanced placement studio art, or similar upper-level visual arts courses are offered. The deterioration of oppor-tunities to have music in the elementary schools is the worst in decades. Why don’t Marysville students deserve to study and grow through the arts? Why are they denied access to them (MGHS)?

I urge Marysville parents and citizens who care about the benefits of arts educa-tion to join in the process of selecting the new superinten-dent in the coming months. Now is the time to let your voices be heard.

Shouldn’t Marysville stu-dents have the same access to arts education as students in Arlington, Lake Stevens, Stanwood and Everett? Let’s choose a leader who will commit to bringing back a full, robust arts program, one that students and parents alike can take pride in.

ARLINGTON — If Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman had one message for the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 8, it was this: “We’re always there.”

Stedman reported that December’s calls to the Arlington Fire Department spiked, from the usual average of 10-12 per day to 22-24 per day, although he couldn’t say yet whether this was a seasonal peak or the start of a new trend.

Either way, Stedman touted Arlington Fire’s proactive stance on train-ing, not only by raising the requirement bar for its captains and developing county-wide training pro-grams for other fire and EMS agencies, but also by inviting the Arlington City Council to take part in its live fire exercises.

“We understand that fire

equipment is very expen-sive and the Council has to make informed deci-sions,” said Stedman, even as he laughed about his own concerns over lead-ing the Mayor or Council members too close into a live fire.

Looking back on 2012, Stedman recalled “the bad day in June” when he was informed the fire depart-ment had lost 10 percent of its budget, which would require the department to lose two of its firefighters.

“I asked the firefighters if they would agree to 5 percent concessions across the board,” Stedman said. “They came back to me and said, ‘No, we won’t do that. We want it to be 6.5 percent instead.’ No other union that I know of would do that.”

Looking ahead to the rest of 2013, Stedman is eager to update the fire department’s “out of date, nonexistent and bad” poli-

cy manuals, and promised that the memorial hous-ing for the Sept. 11 World Trade Center girder that the department received from New York City is nearly complete.

“Again, I know we’re expensive, so I’ve institut-ed formal uniform inspec-tions as well,” Stedman said. “We need to show that we’re being respon-sible stewards of taxpayer dollars, especially when we’ve got old apparatus that needs replacing. Fire lad-ders are typically 12 years old. Ours is 17. It already costs a lot of money to repair at that age.”

Stedman is likewise looking forward to seeing the findings of the recently approved joint regional fire services cooperative effort study, which is set to be completed by Aug. 15.

“Its analysis should help all of us become better ser-vice providers,” Stedman said.

Stedman offers look back, ahead for Arlington Fire Department


MARYSVILLE — Marysville city and school district officials were among the dozens of com-munity members who joined the Girl Scouts of Western Washington in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium on the eve-ning of Friday, Jan. 4, to honor the victims and all those affected by the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A candlelight vigil featured Girl Scouts and their family members singing “I Am One Voice,” with 26 singers rep-resenting the 26 lives lost in Connecticut that day, before candles were passed out to attendees in the stands of Quil Ceda Stadium, so that they could join in the song.

Dr. Tom Albright, who serves as both a Marysville School Board member and chaplain for the Marysville Police Department and Fire District, acknowledged how the questions raised by such a tragedy are challenging to him, especially as a parent, a grandparent and the hus-band of a teacher.

“Just as the children and

staff who died in Newtown came from many back-grounds and faiths, so do we today,” Albright said. “I ask each of you to take a moment to pray in your tradition for the children, teachers, staff, first responders and their families, communities and nation.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recalled how unimaginable the news of the shooting had seemed when he’d heard it on his car radio that day.

“You wonder what could drive someone to do some-

thing so awful,” Nehring said. “Even though it hap-pened 2,800 miles away, our sympathies are not any weaker, and what the Girl Scouts have done here today is commendable. The things you do may seem small sometimes, but they’re not.”

Tasha Branch, commu-nity development manager for the North Regional Girl Scouts, pointed out how per-sonal this tragedy was for the Girl Scouts, since eight of the 12 girls who died were Girl Scouts, and two Girl Scout families lost sons.

MARYSVILLE — Last year, volunteers at the free tax preparation center organized by United Way of Snohomish County helped 347 customers file their taxes and brought back $516,974 in refunds. That money gave a boost to the local economy, built up savings and helped people pay off credit card debt.

This year, the free tax prep-aration center in Marysville will be located at Goodwill’s Marysville Job Training and Education Center on 9315 State Ave. The site will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3.p.m., from Jan. 22 to April 15.

The Marysville site is one of six sites being opened by United Way throughout Snohomish County. The others will be in Everett, Lynnwood and Monroe with United Way volunteer tax preparers.

This service is available for households earning $51,000 or less.

In 2012, 2,511 Snohomish County working families had their taxes prepared for

free at a United Way Tax Preparation Site, saving an estimated $414,315 in tax preparation fees. United Way customers had an aver-age refund of $1,700, which amounted to nearly $4.28 million in refunds, includ-ing $1.25 million in Earned Income Tax Credits.

Over the past six years, United Way volunteers have prepared 9,181 tax returns worth more than $15 million in refunds for Snohomish County working families.

This year’s sponsors and partners include The Boeing Company, the Washington State Department of Commerce, Moss Adams LLP, Goodwill, the Walmart Foundation and the Internal Revenue Service.

What you should bring

Although no appointment is necessary, people should bring a picture ID; social security card or tax identifi-cation number for everyone on the return; W2s or other income statements from all employers; any 1099 forms; the name, address and tax ID number for your child care provider; records of stu-dent loan payments; records of payments for educational expenses such as college tuition; mortgage interest and property tax statements; a bank account number to receive your refund via direct deposit; last year’s tax return, if you have it; and if you’re filing jointly, both spouses must be present to file electronically.

MARYSVILLE — If a disas-ter on the scale of Superstorm Sandy struck your home, fam-ily and community, would you be ready?

The city of Marysville encourages you to attend a free Marysville University civics learning class titled “Disaster Preparedness: Don’t Let Mother Nature Catch You Unprepared.”

The class will run 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 30, in the City Council Chambers, on the second floor of City Hall, located at 1049 State Ave.

“When a natural disaster is looking you in the face, it’s already too late to make your emergency plans,” Mayor Jon

Nehring said. “The city of Marysville and local emer-gency response agencies are ready. We want you and your family to be ready, too, with information that will help protect lives and property.”

Scheduled speakers include volunteer nurse Yvonne Smith with the Red Cross, who saw firsthand the devastation left by Superstorm Sandy, as well as Marysville Emergency Management Coordinator Cheryl Niclai and Dara Salmon, the emergency pre-paredness program manager with the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management. Also slated to speak is Bill Burns, govern-ment liaison manager with

the American Red Cross of Snohomish County.

According to Nehring, MU provides an informal classroom-style forum that brings people from the community together to gain a better understanding of how their local government functions, inspires them to become part of the solution-seeking process, and informs them about city programs, services and projects.

Free refreshments will be available. Classes are video-taped and will be shown on Marysville Cable Access TV 21 on Comcast, and TV 25 on Frontier, at dates to be announced later.

Two Red Cross emer-gency preparedness kits will be awarded in a random drawing.

Please call Community Information Officer Doug Buell in City Hall at 360-363-8086 by Jan. 24 to reserve your seat, or email him at [email protected]. Be sure to include your name, phone, postal address and email address. For more information, con-tact Buell or visit the city on the web at http://marys-villewa.gov.

ARLINGTON — Legion Park and the Arlington City Council Chambers were bustling with activity during the Arlington Relay For Life’s 2013 kickoff on Saturday, Jan. 4.

Arlington Relay For Life Publicity Co-Chairs Jennifer Egger and Miranda Shepherd explained that this year’s Relay is aggressively courting social media, with “ATownRelay” serv-ing as both its Twitter hashtag and its Facebook address.

“Pictures send a powerful message, so we’ll be encourag-ing people to post those online,” Egger said. “Relay has developed an active youth following, so this is a great way to connect to those younger groups.”

Relay organizers started the day with 24 teams already signed up, and saw hundreds of individual volunteers sign up throughout the day.

“The biggest thing we’ve learned is to get the word out to our prospective volunteers early,” said Egger, who noted that this year’s total fundraising goal is $265,000. “It’s our fourth year of doing this in Arlington, and we’re close to hitting the million-dollar mark, so the earlier we can get started on getting a jump on that, the better.”

To that end, Egger and Shepherd reminded attendees that the “Coaches vs. Cancer” event kicks off at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 18.

“Our fundraising goal for that is about $5,000,” said Shepherd, who promised the basketball play-ers will again be “pinking it up” to show their support for the cause.

Arlington Relay For Life Co-Chairs Kim Deisher-Allen and Jessica Angel added that this year’s Relay — whose Big Top-styled theme is “Dream Big, Hope Big, Relay Big” — also marks the 100th anniversary of the American Cancer Society.

“We want people to know what they’re Relaying for,” said Deisher-Allen, who cited the American Cancer Society’s 24-hour 800-number and cancer prevention programs as benefits that even experienced volunteers can occasionally overlook. “We’ve been Relaying for four years, and even we didn’t know about some of this stuff.”

While the “Roads to Recovery” transportation program allows cancer patients to catch a ride to important appointments without leaning on loved ones who are likely overtaxed to begin with from providing care, the “Look Good, Feel Better” program at Cascade Valley Hospital teaches cancer patients the tricks to makeup, skin care and hair (or wig) care while undergoing treatment.

“I cared for my dad for two and a half years without know-ing that some of these resources were available to us,” Deisher-Allen said. “Plus, Relay has virtu-ally no overhead, so 89 percent of every dollar raised goes directly to research and programs to help cancer patients and survivors.”

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert shared how her perspec-tive on cancer has changed since her sister was recently diagnosed with an ultra-rare form of cancer that she estimated only affects per-haps 400 people in the nation.

“After the holidays, I was driving in the car with my mom, and after about 20 minutes of silence, she asked, ‘What happens to people

who don’t have families?’” Tolbert said. “We’re what happens. All of you who step up for the people who are too weak to fight on their own. We become their warriors.”

Tolbert told attendees of the Relay kickoff that she hopes to see them at the Relay proper, June 22-23 at Arlington High School, so they can walk not just for her sis-ter, but for cancer patients “from a

2-year-old girl in the United States to an 80-year-old woman in Japan. It takes a village to fight back this invader in all our families’ lives.”

Team rallies are planned each month between 7-8 p.m. at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on Feb. 5, March 5, April 9, May 7, and June 4 and 18. To register or learn more, log onto http://relay-forlife.org/arlingtonwa.

ARLINGTON — For the third year in a row, Arlington High School’s basketball pro-gram is hosting the Coaches vs. Cancer game, this year on Friday, Jan. 18, against Monroe at 7:15 p.m.

“The game began four years ago when the Wesco league boys basketball coach-es decided to participate in this event — ironically the same year I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” said Caryn Brown, event orga-nizer and wife of AHS var-sity head coach Nick Brown. “In 2011, Arlington hosted its first CvC game and the students and fans decided to wear pink to support Coach Brown. The fans still wear pink to continue to show their support for cancer awareness.”

The Coaches vs. Cancer game is a special fundrais-ing event that raises money for the local Relay For Life, proceeds from which are donated to the American Cancer Society. The teams host raffles, games and more. In 2012, the event raised $1,900.

“This year we are hoping to double what we raised last year and raise $4,000 during this event,” said Brown. “We will have gift basket raffles available at the entrance. We will be selling gift items such as jewelry, hats and hair clips. During halftime fans will have a chance to win $100 with a half-court win-ning shot. During halftime we also host a Pop-A-Shot contest.”

The fundraiser represents a feeling of community for the people of Arlington — especially the Eagles bas-ketball team — because the first game coincided with Brown’s breast cancer diag-nosis. Even four years later, it’s still a symbol of how members of the community can support cancer research to honor their neighbors.

“Due to the fact that most

of us have been touched by cancer somehow, we feel this is an important game for our students, our fans, the com-munity and also our oppos-ing team,” said Brown, who noted that survivors present during the game are con-sidered Honorary Coaches. “Not only do we raise aware-ness of the battle against cancer during this game, but we also do our best to raise funds for ACS. This game allows us to bring awareness to cancer in a different way — through a basketball game in a high school gymnasium — just another way to reach a diverse crowd and show them ways Arlington and ACS can help.”

Coaches vs. Cancer is sponsored by Cascade Valley Hospital, which will have representatives handing out free pink pompoms for the first 1,000 guests.

“This will be a really fun event,” said Jennifer Egger, community relations director for Cascade Valley Hospital and publicity co-chair for Relay For Life. “We encour-age everyone to bring change for the raffles. We’ll have a pink gym and a ceremony for cancer survivors. It will be great.”

Attendees can look for-ward to a few new additions to the event this year, includ-ing the Hubb’s Dine and Donate event on Wednesday, Jan. 16, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., when Hubb’s Pizza and Pasta will donate 10 percent of all orders to the Coaches vs. Cancer game. Arlington High School students are hosting a dance right after the game and all students are encouraged to attend, as the proceeds will be donated to ACS.

Cascade Valley Hospital will be present with give-aways at the entrance and the local Relay For Life rep-resentatives will offer infor-mation to all attendees.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington wrestling team had a tough time compet-ing in overall points against Snohomish High School on Wednesday, Jan. 9, but that doesn’t mean that the young team didn’t come away with some success.

Two freshman, Jeremy Nygard at 106 pounds and Riley Oakes at 120 pounds, won two matches on deci-sions, with Nygard topping Snohomish’s Wyatt Butler 19-4 and Oakes topping Conner Snow 9-4.

The Panthers pinned four Eagles and the final team score was 59-9 for a Snohomish victory.

“We are in a tough 4A division with Snohomish,

Lake Stevens, Monroe and Mount Vernon,” said Arlington coach Barry Knott. “But we’ve competed well in tournaments against them.”

Snohomish went on to win the Marysville Premier Tournament on Saturday, Jan. 12, but Arlington took a 10th place team finish and had several athletes place in the top five in their weight classes.

Arlington hosted the Arlington Double Duals against Lakewood and Granite Falls on Monday, Jan. 14, but the results weren’t known as of press time.

“We aren’t going to domi-nate the double dual meet this year because we are very young,” said Knott.

“We’ve been doing really well at tournaments at the varsity level this season. We went to the Monroe Bearcat Invitational and finished third out of 16 teams, with one first-place, three second-place, a fourth-, a fifth- and a sixth-place winner. We sent our JV to the Barry Knott Classic at Nathan Hale High School, and finished eighth out of 14 teams, with a first-place, second-place, two third-place and two fifth-place winners.”

Since the first of the year, the team has had some suc-cess.

“At the Everett Classic on Jan. 7, we finished fourth out of 24 teams,” said Knott. “There we had two first-place finishes, a second-

place and a third-place fin-ish.”

Overall, the team is look-ing forward to the post-season.

“We should be very com-petitive in the postseason this year,” said Knott. “We have enough good kids win-ning matches to outscore some of these schools with generally strong teams in tournaments.”

For Arlington, this season has been a period of growth for a relatively young team, said Knott.

“Jeremy Nygard is our freshman at 106, and he has only lost two matches all year,” he said. “He was a School Boy National All-American and has been wrestling for years. He’s done really well for us. Boston Jones is another freshman with only a few losses all year. And Riley Oakes will probably wrestle at 113 for us in the postseason. He’s had more than 10 wins.”

Previous state competi-tors Scotty Bardell, Conner Gonzales and Brice Clariday, all juniors, are going to be key to Arlington’s success as well.

“Those juniors are very strong wrestlers and they will carry the torch for us in the postseason,” said Knott.

The Eagles will face an away meet against Monroe on Thursday, Jan. 17, and a home meet against Mount Vernon on Thursday, Jan. 24, both at 7 p.m.

“If we have a good line-up, we should compete well this week and next,” said Knott. “We’re still a work in progress, but we anticipate a good post-season.”

Lakewood’s Justin Peterson attempts to score during a Jan. 11 game against Archbishop Murphy.

The Lakewood High School Cougars lost an away game against their rival Archbishop Murphy on Friday, Jan. 11, with a final score of 83-59.

Five-foot-nine sophomore guard Ryan Alford scored 18 points, including four 3-pointers during the game. Six-foot-tall guard Paul Coleman scored 15 points, including one 3-pointer. Six-foot-one senior Justin Peterson scored 10 points, 6-foot-2 guard Blaine Kelly scored six points, 5-foot-10 sophomore Hunter Fritz scored four points, 6-foot-1 senior Kendal Kippen scored three and 6-foot-1 sopho-

more Chance Schueller scored three.

The Cougars have won two out of six in-league games so far this season, and four out of 10 games overall.

The team is gearing up for the annual Cat Fight, a game between the Cougars and the Granite Falls Tigers, at home on Friday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m., followed by another game against South Whidbey at home on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 7 p.m. They will also com-pete away against Kings on Friday, Jan. 25, for a Coaches vs. Cancer fundraising night for the American Cancer Society.

ARLINGTON — Landon Showalter wants the com-munity to know that the Arlington Kickboxing Academy hasn’t shut down, but has instead simply moved to 5919 195th St. NE. Indeed, the reason for AKA’s move is one that many businesses would hope to have.

“We just didn’t have enough room at the old place,” said Showalter, owner of the Arlington Kickboxing Academy, who invited the community to an open house to check out his new facility on Saturday, Jan. 12. “We liked that loca-tion, but we outgrew the building, and after four months here, we’ve already had to rearrange the mats because we’re starting to outgrow this place.”

Showalter has retired from competing in mixed martial arts himself, but he still serves as a coach to other competitors, and he’s supported at the Arlington Kickboxing Academy by his lead instructor, Ken Alexander, and his assistant instructor, Kevin Butler, both of whom come to the field with at least three years of experience apiece.

“Our main focus is on being involved in the com-munity as a whole, though,” Showalter said. “We help students whether they want to be physically fit or able to defend themselves. We get a lot of wrestlers between seasons who are looking to stay in shape, and we offer fitness clubs and boot camps for regular folks.”

Showalter estimated that the Arlington Kickboxing Academy currently num-bers at least 100 students, who attend a variety of dif-ferent tailored programs, from the morning fitness sessions to those offered in the evenings.

“You don’t have to be a member,” Showalter said. “We get a lot of parents late at night, after they’ve had a chance to get their kids settled down and quiet.”

Showalter is pleased not only with his new location’s larger interior space, with its minimum of walls and its high ceiling, but also with its proximity to the Arlington Airport trail and the garage door that serves as the front wall of the building.

“When summer comes, we can just roll that up and enjoy the open air,” Showalter said. “This place is more functional for pull-up bars and battle ropes. I think I’m going to hang some cross-fit rings and ropes from the ceiling as well.”

Besides the expertise of himself and his fellow instructors, Showalter believes what sets the Arlington Kickboxing Academy apart from other fitness clubs is its camara-derie.

“This isn’t just another 24-hour treadmill gym,” Showalter said. “We’re a tight-knit family here. I’ve made a lot of friends through the Arlington Kickboxing Academy, and I’ve seen their lives improve through martial arts. I may be retired from competi-tion, but when my guys get

punched in the ring, I feel it too.”

To that end, Showalter invited the community to the Arlington Submission Challenge at Soccer First Indoor Sports, located at 19805 74th Ave. NE in Arlington, on Saturday, Jan. 19. The day kicks off at 9 a.m. with same-day weigh-ins and is set to include grapplers from across

Washington state, and even Canada.

Livingston resident Earl E. Wood passed away at his home Saturday morning, Dec 29, 2012, at the young age of 66. Cremation has taken place at Franzen-Davis Crematory.

The Family is honoring Earl’s wish that no services be held at this time. A memorial will be held sometime this Spring.

Earl was born in Livingston on Sept. 18, 1946, the son of Donald E and Alberta M. (Alkire) Wood. He was a graduate of Park High School, then enlisted in the Navy. In 1972, he returned to Livingston and went to work for the Livingston Fire Department, where he retired as captain in 1996.

He married Roberta L. Jeffers on July 18, 1981, in Lake Stevens, Wash.

Earl was preceded in death by his father Donald E. Wood. Survivors include his loving wife Roberta, his mother Alberta M. Wood, two brothers, Dale A. (Cathaleen) Wood and Roy E. (Carol) Wood, and one sister Barbara E. (Scott) Fletcher all of Livingston; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews; and 12 great-nieces and nephews.

For those wishing to, you may post a message to Roberta on her Facebook Page: facebook.com/messages/?reg=7#/roberta.l.wood

EVERETT — Uninsured and low-income adults can take advan-tage of two shot clinics for flu and whooping cough at handy loca-tions in Everett. Both clinics are free and open to the public.

The first clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Jan. 18, during the WorkSource Community Resource Fair at the Everett Station, located at 3201 Smith Ave.

The second clinic will run from

2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Comcast Arena, located at 2000 Hewitt Ave. This clinic is sponsored by the South Everett-Mukilteo Rotary Club and coin-cides with a free skating event for the public in the main ice rink.

The Snohomish Health District will provide 200 doses of adult flu vaccine and 200 doses of adult whooping cough vaccine, also called Tdap, at the WorkSource event, and 300 doses of each at the

Comcast clinic.Washing hands, covering your

coughs and staying home when you are sick are effective ways to reduce spreading and getting diseases. The best way to prevent illness is vaccination.

The flu season in Snohomish County is proving to be more severe than usual. Three adults in the county have died from flu complications in the past several weeks. Getting a current flu shot

is the best way to protect yourself and others. Everyone 6 months and older should get a shot every year, since the flu vaccine changes to match the most common ill-nesses.

Vaccination is also the best pro-tection against whooping cough. Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is no longer at epidemic levels in Snohomish County, but cases of it are still being confirmed and it can still be deadly to babies.

All adults who have not had a whooping cough booster shot should get one. It is especially important that all pregnant women and people, including teens, who are around newborns get the boost-er shot to protect infants.

Download vaccine information sheets and consent forms in English and Spanish at www.snohd.org.

Visit www.flu.gov for more infor-mation about flu, and www.doh.wa.gov for statewide updates.

This little guy is in need of a nice lap to sit on. He loves to go for walks every day & ride in the car. A little timid at first but he will blossom. (Probably no small children). He was a stray, so we don't know how he does w/other pets. Another dog may be a great buddy for him to have & should come down to meet him. He is very calm & will make a great dog for any living situation.

If you like long & heartfelt conversations: politics, good food or new hair cut, then I'm for you! I love to talk about anything & also talk a lot when I'm nervous. I also love attention. I should be in a quieter home environment & would like one with children above the age of twelve. Come give me a chance, I am a beautiful long haired cat that would just love a new home to live in. :-)
