ARLINGTON — The joint meet-ing of the Arlington City Council, the Arlington School District and the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics Board of Commissioners on April 29 saw representatives from each agency explaining what lies ahead for them.

Arlington City Administrator Allen Johnson summed up the Transportation Benefit District that will be put to voters this August.

“If approved, the City Council would set up its own separate tax district to cover our roads,” Johnson said. “We considered raising funds through car tabs, but the option that we’re looking at is to allow people who come into

Arlington to help pay for the wear and tear on our roads through a sales tax.”

Johnson acknowledged that “nobody wants to raise taxes,” but elaborated that an analysis has been performed on the 167 lane miles of roads which the city is responsible for maintain-ing, to determine which segments are most in need of repair. Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert added that 126 such segments of the city’s roads “are already failing or will fail soon,” and noted that repairing those roads will only become more expensive the longer that the city waits to do it.

ARLINGTON — With spring already well under-way, all of the beds in the Arlington Community Garden have been rented out, and most of them have already been planted, as local gardeners not only continue to grow crops that they’ll share with the Arlington Community Food Bank, but also with the “Million Tomato Compost Campaign.”

Sarah Noga was joined by her sons Patrick, 12, and Seth, 2, as well as her daughter Tia, 6, in tending to their plot on the after-noon of Friday, April 26, as they often do since they live just down the block from the Community Garden.

“We were so excited to see this garden since we left behind a big garden at our

old house,” said Noga, whose family recently moved from within town. “We were told that we could pay $10 for the plot or donate a portion of our crops to the Food Bank, but we would have done both anyway, with whatever we couldn’t use.”

Corn, carrots, pumpkins, squash, garlic and herbs tend to be perennial favorites in Noga’s garden — “Our kids love carrots, and will just pull them out of the ground, wash them off and eat them” — and while tomatoes have fared less well under their care, the Nogas have taken advantage of the 10 yards of compost donated by Lenz Enterprises of Stanwood, at no cost, as part of the Million Tomato Compost Campaign sponsored by the U.S. Composting Council.

“The goal of the campaign is to grow 1 million toma-toes using donated compost in community gardens, with part of the tomatoes being donated to local food banks,” said Virginia Hatch, who helps coordinate activities at the Arlington Community Garden with Bea Randall. “Lenz Enterprises not only donated and delivered the compost, but also supplied the garden with bark, to put between the garden beds, at a greatly reduced cost.”

According to Hatch, she and Randall not only look forward to scheduling class-es at the garden during the coming months, but also plan to work with garden participants to develop their own oversight committee, since the Arlington Garden Club has stepped back from overseeing the garden after about 11 years, although the group is still committed to providing some finan-cial support for its annual upkeep.

While the Nogas embrace community gardening as part of their vegan, car-free, locally oriented lifestyle, Ray Knutson has taken on a whole host of additional gardening duties to honor the memory of his friend, Keith Sarkasian, who passed away at the end of March. Sarkasian was an agriculture teacher for more than 30 years before he retired from Arlington High School, and he became friends with

Knutson more than seven years ago through their shared love of gardening. When Sarkasian passed away, leaving behind four untended beds, Knutson added them to the one he was already caring for.

“I’ve tried to plant a few seeds, but it’s been too cold yet,” Knutson said. “The cabbage that’s come up, I started that in my hothouse at home. Keith would start his plants at my hothouse all the time.”

“He’s carrying on Keith’s legacy,” said Joann Knutson, Ray’s wife. “He’s been very busy with it.”

Margaret Sarkasian, Keith’s widow, recalled how the Community Garden became an outlet for her husband when maintaining larger gardens at their old home proved too much for him.

“He would give away pro-duce to whoever needed it,” Margaret Sarkasian said, as she thanked Ray Knutson for taking custody of seven other garden spots around town that Keith had maintained. “Gardening was just his passion. It’s why we moved into that house,” she added as she pointed to the home just west of the Community Garden’s grounds.

Council Chambers to dis-cuss the ballot measure.

Johnson reported more positive developments around the Arlington Municipal Airport, where 80 percent of the space previously owned by Meridian Yachts has since been leased out to new businesses.

Arlington School District Superintendent Dr. Kris McDuffy thanked those community members who had attended the dis-trict’s fourth “Know Your Schools” event on April 9,

which she sees as a valuable resource for allowing the surrounding community to see the schools in action on a firsthand basis.

“The folks who attended the most recent event acted like they were shopping for a school district,” McDuffy said. “They were asking good, tough questions.”

Just as McDuffy pledged to offer the “Know Your Schools” event twice a year in the interests of transpar-ency, so too was she eager to spread the word that the Arlington School District looks to be ending this school year with 75 more students than this time last year.

“We’re increasing our numbers of students, whereas in the past, we weren’t doing so great in that area,” McDuffy said. “That’s allowing us to retain and even hire staff.”

McDuffy pointed out that Kent Prairie Elementary was one of 381 schools set to receive the Washington Achievement Award on April 30, from state Superintendent Randy Dorn and state Board Chair Jeff Vincent.

Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics CEO Clark Jones updated the city and school district on the hospital’s explorations of a possible affiliation

with the Island and Skagit Valley hospitals as part of a much larger organization, by sharing that MultiCare Health of Pierce County has withdrawn itself from consideration, which still leaves the Providence-Swedish organization, PeaceHealth, the University of Washington Medical Center and Virginia Mason as options.

“If I had a crystal ball, I’d say there are eventually going to be about three or four large hospital systems in the Puget Sound region, and any that are outside of those are going to be feel-ing left in the cold,” Jones said.

MARYSVILLE — A claim that a second-grader in spe-cial education was put in a closet for a closed-door “timeout” earlier in April has resulted in two special education staff members, a teacher and an educational aide, being placed on paid administrative leave from Marshall Elementary until further notice.

Marysville School District Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller released a state-ment on April 23 explaining that the district is currently investigating a parent’s alle-gation that a closet was used as a “timeout” room for a student in one of the self-contained classes at Marshall Elementary.

“Any use of a timeout room for students with an IEP requires that policy, pro-

cedures and the law must be followed,” Miller said in her statement. “A behavior plan must be in place. An inde-pendent investigator assigned by the district’s risk pool is currently looking into the allegation.”

Miller followed up on the statement by informing The Marysville Globe that, although the investigation could possibly run through the remainder of the school year, she considered it inap-propriate to speculate on how long the investigation might ultimately last.

“What I can say is that the investigation will be thor-ough, and investigators will talk to any and all who were involved,” Miller said.

Marshall Elementary School Principal Kelly Sheward confirmed that par-

ents of students in that special education class had received a letter on April 16 informing them that a substitute teacher had taken over the class.

The two staff members have been placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, and their names will not be released by the district during the inves-tigation.

Angi Wilson alleges that her adopted second-grade daughter was placed in the closet, and that her daughter’s teacher had told Wilson that the daughter, who has atten-tion deficit disorder and fetal alcohol syndrome, had been getting out of control and throwing tantrums in class. According to Wilson, her daughter had not behaved this way at home or with other people at her school.

SMOKEY POINT — On the morning of Monday, April 22, the staff of the Stillaguamish Senior Center came in to find their offices ransacked and some of their most popular recreation programs gutted.

Jo Olson, executive director of the Stillaguamish Senior Center, reported that the thousands of dollars of equipment that had been stolen included not only the offices’ com-puters and a Sony digital camera, but also a brand-new electronic piano keyboard, a large flatscreen television, a Nintendo Wii, an Xbox Kinect and several games for those systems.

“We have an advisory council of seniors that receives a portion of our fundraising pro-ceeds to spend as they see fit, and these were their purchases,” Olson said. “It’s really a theft from the seniors even more than it is from the senior center, and it’s just been devastating to them. Who would take from the elderly like this?”

Olson cited examples such as Jerry Hall, a Wii bowler for whom the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s tournaments are his primary social outlet, and Minnie Davis, a pianist who had played the senior center’s piano in decades past before it wore out, for whom the keyboard was a new way to keep her talents in practice.

“The Happy Stillies practice their singing here with that keyboard as well,” Olson said. “We’ve gained so many new participants in our activities because of the Wii and Kinect, but now our seniors have lost those activities, which are huge parts of their lives.”

Those who might have any information regarding the burglary are being asked to call the Arlington Police Department at 360-403-3400, who those who are interested in donat-ing to the Stillaguamish Senior Center may call Olson at 360-653-4551.

4 The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe May 1, 2013THE PUBLIC FORUM

My drive home takes me up Highway 528 to where I opt for turning

south on 83rd or easing through the construction zone to Highway 9. Curiosity always wins and I endure flaggers’ hold-ups to see what’s going on.

It’s the same route I used to take on my bicycle when a need for exercise took me to Frontier Village for coffee. Highway 528 was Hickock Road in those days, a two-lane strip of weathered asphalt bordered by narrow gravel shoulders. It was enough because traffic was light. It was enough to allow me and my bicycle share with motor vehicles without seri-ously fearing for my life.

Some months ago it looked like they were widening Hwy. 528 for a turn lane into the Walmart site where construction vehicles now enter. The city tells me that opening will still serve, but only for right-turning shoppers. The question on everyone’s mind was, how will they get a gazillion shop-pers onto and off the site without creating colossal traffic jams?

Weeks passed. Oversized equipment kept arriving on low-boy trailers. Hillsides were carved away. Part of a gully was brought up to grade. Fake natural stone retaining walls were formed up and poured. Aside from a whole lot of money being spent, there was no clue as to how the work

might solve up-coming traffic challenges.

It continued month after month. Digging, boring, pile-driv-ing and hauling machines enter-tained passers-by patient enough not to be annoyed by delays. Hillsides were subtracted so that lanes could be added, multiply-ing the cost. A brand-new street, 87th Avenue, is just now being developed to skirt Walmart’s west boundary.

It was on August 23rd of 2005 that the city of Marysville signed the document that would guide all this road work. That’s nearly eight years ago. When you figure that the new Walmart project would have to square with Marysville’s Municipal Code, state RCWs, county development plans and Department of Transportation standards, it was bound to take a long time, but eight years?

Even with the magnitude of the roadwork, citizens need not be concerned about the cost. Every dime is coming out of Walmart coffers. It’s Walmart that will be impacting traffic so Walmart is bearing the total cost for traffic

mitigation. I can’t even guess what that will total.

Walmart has the resources to weather a hundred setbacks of this order before seeing a dip in profits. I do suspect though, that the company’s top brass had a nose-to-nose conversation with its site acquisition people about the bill for this work, and how it might take a month or two for profits from the new Marysville store to cover it.

KLB Construction of Mukilteo is doing the highway and street work, which keeps profits from that part of Walmart’s construc-tion near home. After opening, profits from store operation will wing away to company head-quarters in Arkansas. That leaves Walmart’s host communities to weigh the advantages of cheap goods and low-paying jobs with the economic serfdom of serving as cash-cows for distant owners.

The project is huge. The store, itself, covers almost 150,000 square feet, roughly the equivalent of a hundred Marysville homes. The entire development covers 20 acres with over 1,250 feet front-ing on Highway 9 and more than 600 feet along 528. There will be 718 parking slots to accommodate 7,500 visitors per weekday. An amount of $130,000 will be paid to Snohomish County to cover costs of added traffic, about the cost Walmart is paying for a few

days of road construction.The new 87th Avenue will

open on the two main entrances to Walmart’s parking, the third will open directly onto Hwy. 528 where only right-turners will enter or exit. A third entrance off 87th provides access for delivery and service vehicles at the far north end of the property. A light will be installed at the intersection of Hwy. 528 and the new street, 87th, to help duct traffic onto 87th where access to parking will be least challenging.

Is the Marysville area becoming over-Walmarted? Area shoppers will soon be able to pick off Blue-light Specials from any of three area stores; Smokey Point, the Reservation, or east Marysville. That outnumbers arch-rivals Target and Fred Meyer by one store each. Together, they’ll siphon up much of the area’s dis-posable income and send it off to corporate headquarters.

It might take a while for the new store to show a profit but that’s not because Walmart is run by dopes. They anticipate a time when sewer extensions will open vast acreages between Marysville and Granite Falls to development. It’s a business that has successfully stuck with the Field of Dreams mentality. If we build it, they will come.

MARYSVILLE — The local community’s seventh annual Cinco de Mayo Celebration will return to the Totem Middle School cafeteria and gymnasium on Friday, May 3, from 6-8:30 p.m., and all Marysville and Tulalip community mem-bers are invited to partici-pate

The free event will include Mexican food, music, danc-ing and activities. The food will be prepared by the Marysville School District food service students in the School House Café pro-gram. Music and entertain-

ment will be provided by the mariachi band Mi Pais, as well as other local groups. Several activities will be geared specifically toward children, such as playing in bouncy houses, breaking piñatas, face-painting, and exploring police and fire vehicles. New this year will be Molina Healthcare’s cat mascot, Dr. Cleo, who will be on hand to lead activities with children, and they will bring a bike to make frozen non-alcoholic drinks.

Thanks to several donors, event organizers have received enough funding

to offer Cinco de Mayo as a free event again this year. Monetary donations have been received from the Marysville Rotary, the Marysville YMCA, Molina Healthcare, the Marysville Free Methodist Church and HomeStreet Bank. In-kind and volunteer support has also been instrumental in making this event hap-pen, and has been received from the Marysville School District, Molina Healthcare, Marysville Printing, Belmark Homes, the Mi Pais mariachi band, Sea Mar Community Health Center

and various student groups. The community

effort has been lead by Marjorie Serge, with sup-port from Jim Strickland, Victor Rodriguez, Susan Stachowiak, Wendy Messarina Volosin, Anastasia Garcia, Anayelle Lopez and others.

Questions in English should be directed to Marjorie Serge, by phone at 425-350-2064 or via email at [email protected] Questions in Spanish should be directed to the school district’s information line 360-657-0250.

Cinco de Mayo returns to Totem Middle School

ARLINGTON — Wednesday, May 1, from 10-11:30 a.m. is the planned kickoff for a six-week walking program at the Stillaguamish Senior Center, located at 18308 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington.

The kickoff is set to include educa-tional presentations on setting goals, how to walk the right way and how to use a step counter, followed by a 30-minute walk around the senior

center grounds and neighborhood. The kickoff will allow participants to find walking buddies or groups to walk with, and time for the screening forms to be completed. Each week thereafter, the walkers will conduct a short meeting, followed by a 30-min-ute walk on the center grounds or nearby trails. The program will con-clude with a party or picnic to cel-ebrate their achievements.

All physical levels will be accom-modated, including “walker-walkers,” slow walkers, fast walkers and distance walkers. The goal of the program is then to encourage participants to set goals to continue walking on their own after the six-week program is concluded.

To register for the program, call the Stillaguamish Senior Center at 360-653-4551.

REMEMBER RECYCLE

BY CAPT. CHRISTOPHER LARSEN364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command

MARYSVILLE — Soldiers and civilians of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit headquar-tered locally, recognized Earth Day with some help from the mayors of eight

Snohomish County com-munities.

On a sunny Pacific Northwest spring afternoon, the group of military and civic leaders planted two trees at the Armed Forces Reserve Center, located at 13613 40th Ave. NE in Marysville.

The trees, a Korean heart-

throb dogwood and a lion’s head Japanese maple, were purchased with donations by the unit’s soldiers.

“It’s important for us to take care of our natural resources, for our children and our children’s children,” said Brig. Gen. I. Neal Black, the 364th ESC’s command-ing general.

“Twenty million people took part in the first Earth Day in 1970. Today, more than one billion take part in this important event to foster environmental aware-ness.”

The 364th ESC’s tree-planting tradition started in 2012, while the unit was deployed to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait.

Even in the arid Kuwaiti desert, plants and trees will thrive if treated properly. Waste water used for cook-ing and cleaning was often used to hydrate the plants, a form of earth-friendly recy-cling in an area not known for its moisture.

The mayors were on hand at the reserve cen-ter representing the North Country Mayors, a Snohomish County group made up of elected officials from 14 communities. The group was invited to hold its monthly meeting at the facility.

“It’s part of our ongo-ing effort to build com-munity partnerships,” said Kone Nisperos, the 364th ESC’s executive assistant and protocol officer. “We invited them [the mayors] to hold the meeting here to bring them together and show them we’re part of the community. Plus, we have soldiers living in their com-munities. It’s the right thing to do.”

After their meeting, the mayors and soldiers gath-ered in front of the reserve

center, one of the newest in the Army’s inventory. The trees were placed into their respective holes, mayors and soldiers gathered round.

Sunlight glinted off the gold spades of ceremonial shovels as dirt was added to the holes, making the trees part of the permanent land-scape at the reserve center.

Opened in 2011, the Marysville center was con-structed with an eye towards energy conservation, using state-of-the-art materials that promote efficiency, such as self-dimming lights and water-saving fixtures.

What’s more, the building is certified “green,” accord-ing to Scott McKean, the 364th ESC’s command executive officer.

“This is a ‘LEED-silver’ facility,” said McKean, who explained that LEED — short for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — is an interna-tionally-recognized, envi-ronmentally-friendly build-ing program that results in lower operating costs, ener-gy and water conservation, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

The building’s “silver” rating means it has received a minimum of 50 points on a 100-point efficiency scale.

Army officials said the tree-planting was anoth-er example of the Army Reserve’s continuing com-mitment to the environ-ment, and to the towns and cities in which they serve.


Laura Shiri Kelley, 22, of Marysville, WA went to be with our heavenly Father on Friday, April 19, 2013. She was born December 7, 1990 in Everett, the daughter of Doug and Laura Lacey.

Laura attended Marysville Pilchuck High School. On March 6, 2010 she was united in marriage with Blake Kelley. Together they share a beautiful daughter, Lacey LeeAnne Kelley.

Laura was a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sibling, and friend to many. She had a charismatic personality that stole our hearts and was always the center of attention. She was so beautiful and fun to be around. She had the ability to make so many laugh with her dramatic imitations and stories. She was an amazing mother to her daughter, and loved children. She had dreams of being a nurse in the medical field and would have been so talented at it. She had an amazing

singing voice and incredible style. She will be missed by her family everyday but never forgotten.

She is survived by her husband, Blake Kelley of Everett; and daughter, Lacey LeeAnne Kelley; mother and father, Laura and Doug Lacey

of Marysville; two brothers, Brian Lacey and Ryan Lacey; three sisters, Shannon Genovese, Reanna Grato and Lulu Grato; grandmother, Judy Briese; aunts, Judy Harcrow and Debbie Briese; uncles, Claude (Kendra) Briese, Dan Lacey; mother-in-law, Kerrie Kelley; Sister-in-law, Bostyn King of Everett; and many cousins and extended family that loved her so much.

A memorial service was held Sunday, April 28, 2013, 2:30 p.m., at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church at Swans Trail, 5511 64th St. SE, Snohomish, WA 98290.

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum’s annual fundrais-ing garage sale has seen bet-ter days.

This year’s sale ran Friday, April 26, through Saturday, April 27, and on its sec-ond day, volunteers Sharon Krogen and Joann Gray esti-mated that it would wind up taking in roughly $2,000.

“The first day of the sale always does the best,” said Krogen, who estimated on

Saturday that Friday saw the sale draw approximately $1,500 in proceeds. “That’s when everyone comes in to see what sorts of bargains we have.”

This year’s sale was coping with the obstacles of not only cool winds and dark skies, but also ongoing construc-tion on 67th Avenue right outside the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall’s front entrance. However, the expected proceeds from this year still represent a decline from the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum’s

garage sales of years past.“We used to make as

much as $10,000 from a few of those garage sales,” Gray said. “We had a lot of staff members outside, and three tiers of tables.”

“One of the biggest prob-lems is that we need more manpower,” Krogen said. “We need people who can still lift heavy items. Our members are getting too old, and we’re losing a lot of our men to boot.”

J.Y. Dycus, a fellow vol-unteer for the Pioneer Museum, echoed Krogen and Gray’s concerns and recollections.

“We all got too old,” Dycus said. “There’s not a one of us who can lift any-thing heavy without doing some kind of damage to our backs. We used to take in donations as far as four months in advance of the garage sales, stockpile them in the museum, and make between $6,000 to $8,000 each year.”

“We used to have wash-ers, dryers, mowers and plants,” Gray said. “Now, we simply can’t accept the heavier items because none of us can carry them.”

Krogen and Gray explained that the annual garage sale proceeds are necessary to cover just the most basic of expenses to keep the museum open and running.

“Our lighting and heat-ing bills alone are huge,” Krogen said.

“A group of us comes in every Monday morning to do whatever mainte-

nance needs to be done on the museum,” Gray said. “There’s always something to do.”

The Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall is located at 20722 67th Ave. NE in Arlington. Its hours of operation are 1-4 p.m. on Sundays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, and it’s closed on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter, July 4 and every day

in November, December, January and February. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children 12 years and younger. Its next event is the decommissioning of unserviceable flags on Flag Day, June 14.

ARLINGTON — Hundreds of spectators crowd-ed Quake Park on Saturday, April 27, as Stilly Valley Little League hosted its annual Jamboree.

“This is the perfect day for these kids,” said Angela Diaz, who brought her 5-year-old daughter Lilly to the event. “It gives her the opportunity to see what softball is all about and to see the older kids enjoying the sport.”

Vendor booths lined the grass between the fields, selling everything from hanging flower baskets to hot dogs. Raffles, including a chance to win a free Chevrolet, raised funds for the nonprofit Little League organization.

Groups of coaches gave lessons on hitting, pitch-ing and catching, while almost 20 teams played on the park’s five fields.

The Cobras, a team of boys from 7-9 years old played a game just before noon at the Boys & Girls Club, as their parents and relatives proudly looked on.

“We love this program,” said Dionne Bickley, mother of Team Cobra’s Zack Bickley, 8, who began playing tee ball three years ago. “The coach is excellent — Coach Tony Devery — and all of the kids have fun.”

Stilly Valley Little League is nonprofit organiza-tion based in Arlington that has teams for boys and girls of all ages. For more information visit www.stillyvalleyll.com.

MARYSVILLE — The Cougar track and field team once again made an impression at the Tomahawk Classic on Saturday, April 27, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

“Don’t wait, don’t wait. Believe! Believe!” cheered head coach Jeff Sowards as the boys 4x800-meter relay team of Drew Cabales, Alex Cooper, Peter Espinoza and Jake Ryan made its way around the Quil Ceda Stadium track.

“I am so inspired right now,” said Lakewood girls pole vaulter Taylor Studzinski as she looked on. “Coach Sowards is the most inspirational person. He’s not even cheering me right now, but I am inspired anyway.”

The cheering must have had the same impact on the relay team, as Ryan crossed the finish line ahead of all other runners. The team took first place with a final time of 8:46.58.

Studzinski and fellow pole-vaulter Tasha Del Pozo may have used that inspiring support to take top spots in their event as well. Studzinski placed seventh with a final height of eight feet, while Del Pozo placed 11th with a height of seven feet.

Cougar junior Skylar Cannon

took first place in the girls javelin with a distance of 117 feet, 11 inches.

Justin Peterson won the high jump, with a height of six feet.

Senior Ariel Jensen took first in the 800-meter race with a final time of 2:24.59, which was her second fastest time this year.

Junior Andrew Stich took first place in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 16.17, and second place in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 41.30. Junior Ryan Whitehead took third place with a time of 42.84.

The invitational hosted 12 teams from across Washington, from 1A to 4A classifications.

“Randy Davis and his volun-teer staff did a great job of put-ting it on,” said Sowards of the meet. “Our kids did pretty well. On the boys side, we took second place overall and we held our own against some pretty good teams.”

It was the last regular season meet for the Cougars, who move on to the Cascade Conference Championships on Thursday, May 2, at King’s High School at 4:30 p.m. Only the top 16 indi-viduals from the conference qual-ify for that meet, however, those who don’t qualify will compete in a last-chance meet at Sultan High School on Friday, May 3.

ARLINGTON — Local dancers from the Star Energy performance team at the Arlington School of Dance have been invited to perform at the Disneyland Resort this July.

“The girls are just so excit-ed,” said Becky Oesch, owner and artistic director of the school. “They will have sev-eral exciting opportunities to build on their skill and per-forming arts education.”

While there, the team will be attending four workshops led by Disney Show produc-ers, performers and choreog-raphers, said Oesch.

The dancers will also per-form in a showcase produc-tion on a Disney stage and parade performances, which Oesch believes will be the highlight of the trip.

“They will be dancing in a parade down Main Street USA in Disneyland and in California Adventure along with dancers from all over the country,” she said. “The dancers will be learning spe-cific parade choreography created by the Disney affili-ate Dance the Magic. The teaching staff and I are proud of what the team has accom-

plished inside and outside of the school.”

Oesch considers the school and its dancers a ‘dance fam-ily’ and hopes that the mem-ories made now will last a lifetime for the girls.

“From performing at large venues such as New York, Disneyland and Silverwood Theme Park to local senior

centers and community events, the goal is always the same — to touch the audi-ence in any way, whether it be warming the heart, mak-ing them stop their day to smile or even inspiring oth-ers to dance.”

Auditions for Star Energy are being held through the month of May starting on

May 4. The school’s spring recitals for all age groups are June 1-2 at the Everett PUD Theater. This year’s shows will feature a former student, now a Cornish College of the Arts graduate performing a solo as well as other high-lights.

SMOKEY POINT — The Marysville, Arlington and Smokey Point post offices will be taking part in the annual Letter Carriers Food Drive on May 11 to benefit the Marysville and Arlington com-munity food banks, but the first step of supporting this campaign is to check your mailbox for a yellow collection bag during the week of May 6.

Residents of Marysville, Arlington and Smokey Point are being asked to place their non-perishable food items in those bags by the morning of Saturday, May 11, for mail carriers to pick up, with the Marysville Post Office collecting for the Marysville Community Food Bank, and the Arlington and Smokey Point post offices collecting for the Arlington Community Food Bank.

“This drive is essential for cover-ing the summer period when kids are at home and family needs are high,” said Dell Deierling, direc-tor of the Marysville Community Food Bank. “Last year, the drive brought in 26,228 pounds of food to our food bank. Let’s hit the 30,000 pound mark this year, Marysville.”

Jerrie Inman, a member of the

Arlington Community Food Bank Board of Directors, deemed the Letter Carriers Food Drive the largest food drive of the year for her food bank.

“The food we receive during the holiday season just barely gets us to this food drive,” Inman said. “Right now, our cupboards are very bare. The food we receive in this food drive will hopefully get us through

to the holidays.”While most pickups will be con-

ducted by mail carriers, Inman assured donors that other vehicles which bear signs promoting the Letter Carriers Food Drive are also authorized to retrieve those yellow collection bags.

“We’ve had people call us up worried about it, but it’s okay,” Inman laughed.

Army Reserve memorial run cancelledMARYSVILLE — The 364th Expeditionary Sustainment

Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit headquartered locally, has cancelled the memorial run it had scheduled for May 4.

The five-kilometer run was planned as a memorial to those killed, injured and affected by the April 15 Boston Marathon bombings.

“Unfortunately, the amount of time needed to correctly prepare for the event didn’t meet our intended date,” said Capt. Christopher Larsen, the unit’s public affairs officer. “Our thoughts and condolences go out to the victims and families of this tragedy, and to the people of Boston.”

Natalie needs to go to a home sans kids or hyper dogs. About the breed: Chihuahuas are the ultimate lap dog-a cute small dog that love their owners. Some can be possessive & jealous. Small dogs tend not be walked. We think they get enough exercise running around all day, but walks provide more than exercise, they provide mental stimulation & socialization, which help in calming them.

NOTE: If the particular featured pet is not available, we have many great animals to choose from and you are sure to find the perfect pet for you. email us at [email protected]. Website www.everettwa.org

Oreo is senior statesmen, all dressed in a tux. He loves to play and cuddle or just hang out with his "peeps", basically just loving life. He does not care for dogs, so his new family should be "canine free". He has grown up with children of all ages, toddlers to teens to adults. If you have a relaxing, peaceful, quiet home that Oreo would enjoy, come and take a look, you won't be disappointed!

SMOKEY POINT — In observance of April as Autism Awareness Month, the Mr. Buckles Oil Change Service Center in Smokey Point conducted a fundrais-er for “Answers For Aiden” on Saturday, April 27, by donating 20 percent of the day’s sales — including those of gift certificates for future service — to support autism research.

As customers and pass-ersby alike stopped by to partake of free hot dogs and to buy raffle tick-ets for prizes provided by a host of local businesses, Melanie White explained what autism meant for her grandson Aiden, the Dallas, Texas, boy for whom the campaign is named.

“He was born a happy, normal little guy who was jabbering and hitting all his milestones,” White said. “He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2, after he stopped eating or babbling, and started ‘stimming’ and banging his head.”

White recounted the prog-ress that Aiden has made in the years since, which she attributes to alternative treatments that are often not covered by standard health care insurance.

“His mom and dad have had to sell their home and downgrade their car just to cover it,” White said. “He’s 7 years old now, and when he was 5, he underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A week later, he went from being able to say maybe three letters of the alpha-bet to being able to say the whole thing.”

Ted Pellegrini, owner of Mr. Buckles, confidently predicted that this event, which very nearly consti-tutes a first anniversary for his business since its opening about a year ago, would probably raise close to $2,500.

“Mr. Buckles has always been about being involved in our community, and autism is such a huge thing that impacts the families in our community,” Pellegrini said. “I saw this as anoth-er way of thanking all of Arlington and Marysville for all the support they’ve given my family and our business over the course of the past year, because their words of mouth has made us what we are today.”

Pellegrini sees such cus-tomer loyalty as a natural outgrowth of the deep and abiding affection that the citizens of Arlington harbor

for their city and its history and heritage.

“I feel blessed to have this opportunity to give this space to ‘Answers For Aiden,’ and I’m glad they took advantage of it,” Pellegrini said. “This is why small businesses thrive in Arlington. It’s the coolest city to work in, and their police department is the best in the state.”

“I’m very impressed with Mr. Buckles,” said Renae James, who stopped by to buy an entire ribbon of raf-fle tickets that day. “They’re passionate about this com-munity.”

The Mr. Buckles Oil Change Service Center is located at 17316 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington. For more information, call them at 360-322-7129.
