MARYSVILLE — Minutes after its official rib-bon-cutting ceremony, area youths were already mak-ing themselves at home in the Marysville YMCA’s new Youth Development Center.

The 3,400-square-foot building that once served as the home for the Marysville Community Food Bank now houses program space for the “ACT!” — “Actively Changing Together” — youth obesity program and the “Exercise and Thrive” cancer survivorship pro-gram, but on Aug. 31, it was the Youth Development Center’s computer lab and teen recreation features that attracted the most attention from its young patrons.

While 12-year-old mid-dle school students Lauren Edgar and Lily Fleshman

played foosball hockey and table tennis in turns, 16-year-old Marysville Getchell High School students Mark Guba and Stan Kolomeyetz faced off across the pool table. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Navdeep Manhas and 13-year-old Kona Blanchard were among the first to take advantage of the Internet-ready computers.

“I’ve been coming to the Marysville Y for the past 10 years,” Manhas said. “I like hanging out with my friends here. The new computers and ping-pong table seem pretty nice.”

Blanchard, who was invit-ed to speak to the crowd that had assembled for the ribbon-cutting, recalled how his own family first started using the Marysville Y more than six years ago.

MARYSVILLE — One day after a majority of the Marysville Education Association’s members agreed to its terms, the Marysville School District Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the MEA contract for the 2011-12 school year, thereby ensuring that Marysville’s school year would start on Sept. 6.

MEA President Arden Watson and MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland both described their respective organizations’ biggest challenges in coming to an agree-

ment as stemming from tough economic times and recent actions by the state Legislature, the latter including a 1.9 percent reduction in state funding for teacher sala-ries.

“The Legislature declined to reduce the school year or make a state-wide decision,” Nyland said. “Therefore, 296 districts across the state have had to negotiate sepa-rately with each bargaining unit how each district would address the legislative budget cuts.”

been fun,” Blanchard said. “I’ve enjoyed the summer camp and after-school care every year. This new teen center will give me even more opportunities to meet new people. The Y is even more awesome than before.”

The adults who showed up to speak that day seemed equally impressed by the facility. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring noted the number of young people in attendance, in addition to the adults, and touted their presence as a positive sign for the mission of the Youth Development Center.

“I go to a lot of ribbon-cuttings where I see most-ly adults, and that’s okay, but this is about the kids,” Nehring said. “It’s good to see so many of you here.”

Nehring expressed the hope that the Youth Development Center’s com-puter lab would help unlock area youths’ achievements

as adults, with its project-based learning programs to increase computer literacy and soft job skills in areas ranging from publishing Web pages to recording and producing music and vid-eos.

“When we stand united to invest in our youth, we cre-ate a well-trained work force for local jobs,” Nehring said. “We’re empowering these young people to become the community leaders of the next generation.”

Scott Washburn, presi-dent and CEO of the YMCA of Snohomish County, pointed out that the Y is “more than just swims and gyms,” and held up the Marysville Y in particular as an example of the diverse services and activities that the YMCA can provide its young patrons.

“This YMCA has the largest Minority Achievers Program in the state, and hosts one of the largest youth breakdancing contests on the West Coast,” Washburn said. “It’s a resource for our youth that nurtures their

potential and allows them to pursue their passions.”

Marysville YMCA Board member Steve Muller later echoed Washburn’s praise for the Tulalip Tribes’ con-tributions, while Marysville YMCA Board Chair Tony Roon likewise seconded Washburn’s commenda-tions of Harv and Larry Jubie, who received plaques in recognition of their long-standing support of the Marysville Y.

“Everywhere I go, I always run into the same people,”

Roon laughed. “I can’t escape the Jubies.” Turning serious, Roon asked the Jubie brothers to stand so that the young people in attendance could see them. “When you grow up, I hope you can follow their exam-ple, and be as generous with your time and treasures as they’ve been with theirs.”

“I remember sitting around a ping-pong table in 1991 with a vision of building a YMCA facility,” Muller said. “We were told we’d have to raise a mil-lion bucks to do it, which was even more money back then. They said Marysville couldn’t do that. I’m really proud of the community that I live in and the way that it’s stepped up.”

School Board meeting dur-ing which the contract was approved, Nyland noted the dozens of meetings between the district and the MEA over the summer. He touted the good working relation-ship between the two groups, whom he described as both striving to “make the best out of a not-good situation.”

Watson reported that the MEA voted to ratify the contract by a majority of 93 percent on Aug. 30, with measures such as furlough times for teachers that she described as unprecedented. She echoed Nyland’s assur-ances that the contract nonetheless maintains 1,000 of instruction time for stu-dents.

“Collective bargaining has allowed us to work for what’s best for the kids at the classroom level,” Watson said.

Marysville teachers will be subjected to increases in classroom overloads without increases in previ-ous compensation, as well as an 0.9 percent reduction in pay, as much as $650 for some teachers. Four of the teachers’ seven fur-lough days for the school year will be scheduled in conjunction with holidays such as Thanksgiving, win-ter break, Presidents’ Day weekend and Memorial Day weekend. The first of the other three furlough days is scheduled for Oct. 14.

“During those days our staff can express their con-cerns to the Legislature,” Nyland said. “In response to concerns we’ve heard about our early release days, we’re moving them from Fridays to Wednesdays and we’re shortening the early releas-es from 150 minutes to 90 minutes. Not only does this provide more instructional time, including a.m. and p.m. kindergarten, but it also encourages students to get lunch at school, which they might have chosen to skip if they were leaving sooner.”

Although school lunch prices are not part of the MEA contract, Nyland addressed them on Aug. 31 by explaining that state budget cuts also impacted the cost of school lunches. As such, meal prices will increase for the first time in three years, by 25 cents per meal, while milk prices will stay the same. Chartwells, the food service provider for Marysville, agreed to a $100,000 reduction in their management fee to ensure the continuation of school lunches on a break-even basis.

ARLINGTON — Those who plan on visiting down-town Arlington during the weekend of Sept. 10-11 should wear their walking shoes, since both days will be packed with activities for pedestrians, including com-memorations of the 9/11 attacks 10 years ago.

The Arlington Arts Council will be conducting “Art in the Park” in Legion Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both Saturday, Sept. 10, and Sunday, Sept. 11.

“A special celebration of the arts kicks off at noon on Saturday, when the Arts Council honors the pub-lic art contributions for the year,” said city of Arlington Recreation Coordinator Sarah Lopez.

Paul Nyenhuis, Greg Parke and Stan Shipley will pro-vide music for the two-day event, which also promises to include food vendors and raffle prizes, while Baker Photographics have pledged to donate 10 percent of their sales toward the 9/11 memo-rial in Arlington.

Sept. 10 will also feature a used book sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. across from the Arlington Library at 135 N .Washington Ave., as well as the return of the Arlington Farmers Market to the city parking lot, next to Legion Park on Olympic Avenue, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sept. 11 will see Macleod Avenue closed from First through Third streets from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in order to accommodate the Arlington Fire Department’s rededica-tion of Firehouse 46, located at 137 N. Macleod Ave., start-ing at 11 a.m. and followed by tours of the newly remodeled facility from noon to 2 p.m.

During this ceremony, the Arlington Fire Department will also presenting the World Trade Center artifact recently retrieved from New York City by four Arlington firefighters. This artifact will be displayed in a memorial to those first responders who lost their lives on 9/11.

Fundraising efforts to design and install the memo-rial housing for the artifact include not only Baker Photographics’ sales dona-tions, but also the Gleneagle Golf Course’s 9/11 memo-rial golf tournament, a ball

buster scramble set for 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 11. To regis-ter for the tourney, call the Gleneagle Proshop at 360-435-6713.

Legion Park will host Operation Homefront’s “Freedom Festival” on Sept. 11, with a 5K “Freedom Walk” on Centennial Trail starting from Legion Park at 9:11 a.m. after an 8 a.m. registration. The suggested donation is $5 for walkers.

The pre-walk sched-ule includes a presenta-tion of the colors, the sing-

ing of the national anthem by “Arlington Idol” win-ner Hannah Gould, and guest speakers including Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson, Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Steve Richards and representatives of U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen.

Legion Park will host other “Freedom Festival” activities throughout the day, including live bands, kids’ activities, food vendors and a patriotic dog costume con-test at 2 p.m.

SMOKEY POINT — In addition to their own respec-tive commemorations, the Arlington and Marysville communities will be coming together during the week of Sept. 11 to honor the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 ter-rorist attacks.

Weller Funeral Home in Arlington and Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home in Marysville will both be showing free pre-theatrical screenings of “Rebirth,” a 104-minute-long docu-mentary film that follows the progress of five families impacted by 9/11 over the course of the past decade.

Weller will be showing “Rebirth on Sept. 10 at 3 p.m. and Sept. 11 at 1 p.m., while Schaefer-Shipman will be showing the film on Sept. 8 at 10 a.m., Sept. 9 at 7 p.m., Sept. 10 at noon and Sept. 11 at 3 p.m.

“This film shows how this tragedy changed the lives of both the survivors and

the families of those who experienced it,” said Mary Jane Harmon, a spokesper-son for both funeral homes. “It includes the cleanup, the rebuilding and the memorial to the fallen.”

Harmon explained that Weller and Schaefer-Shipman are both part of the Dignity Memorial network, which dealt with the film-makers, and that this is how the two funeral homes are able to show this film before it’s released in theaters.

“We’ll have an online guestbook for people to write to the 9/11 families,” Harmon said. “Arlington’s police chief might also be attending, but we can’t con-firm which day yet.”

Weller Funeral Home is located at 327 N. Macleod Ave. in Arlington. You can call them at 360-435-2509 or log onto their web-site at www.wellerfh.com. Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home is located at 804 State Ave. in Marysville. You can call them at 360-659-3711

or log onto their website at www.schaefershipmanfu-neral.com.

Sept. 11 will also mark the start of what organiz-ers hope will be an annual “9/11 Patriot Ride” from Sound Harley-Davidson in Smokey Point, supported by the Puget Sound Chapter of the Harley Owners Group.

Participants are asked to arrive between 9:15-9:45 a.m. to sign the mandatory waiver to take part in the ride, which will depart from Sound Harley at 10 a.m. and is expected to last two and a half hours. The route winds through Lake Stevens, Snohomish, Clearview and Everett, with a rest stop at the halfway point, before returning to Sound Harley for a barbecue.

Although there is no reg-istration fee, participants are asked to email Ron Wagner at [email protected] to put their names on the list. Those with questions should email Evan Adolf at [email protected].

Local businesses offer events to remember 9/11

MARYSVILLE — Marysville firefighters and police officers will be honor-ing the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, as well as the loss of one of their own, on Sept. 11 of this year.

On Sept. 11, 2001, not only were thousands of lives lost in the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and Flight 93, including those of 343 New York firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers, but the Marysville Fire District also lost Lt. Jeff Thornton, who passed away that same day after his battle with cancer.

Members of the Marysville Fire District’s Honor Guard will conduct a ceremony at the Police and Firefighters Memorial outside of the Marysville Public Library, located at 6120 Grove St., starting at 8:30 a.m. This event has taken place every year since 2001.

This year’s program will build on those past ceremo-nies, with activities set to include an invocation, an address from Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, the ring-ing of the bell in honor of those whose lives were lost, and doves being released to music.

“This annual ceremony helps us all remember and pay tribute to those who died, as we also remem-ber the loss of one of our own on that very same day,” Marysville Fire Chief Greg Corn said. “As we look back on the events that took place 10 years ago, we have a

responsibility to those who gave their lives and those who continue to fight and sacrifice for our freedom and security. Marysville is a community that will never forget.”

Also on Sept. 11, Marysville Fire District Capt. Keith Taylor will be singing the national anthem at Safeco Field for the Mariners game. A spe-cial tribute to Thornton is likewise set to kick off at 3 p.m. that day at Husky Ball Park, on Montlake Boulevard just north of the Hec Edmundson Pavilion & Intramural Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITORInquiring minds ask

Gary and Donna Wright, Marysville business owners and Donna as a Marysville City Councilmember, are frequently asked if Mayor Jon Nehring’s campaign opponent is related to us. The answer is no. We are not related to Mayor Nehring’s opponent. Nor have we ever met that opponent.

We wholeheartedly sup-port Mayor Jon Nehring’s re-election. The Mayor has served the citizens of Marysville with great com-petence and integrity as a city councilman and has dis-played excellent leadership skills and wisdom as mayor.

Our entire family in Marysville, including Ted and Michele Wright, are proud to be among Mayor Nehring’s many enthusiastic supporters.

Wright is bestperson for mayor

As a former business owner and involved resident of Marysville for a very long time, I am always concerned about the goings on with our city government. With the upcoming election for Mayor, I was delighted to meet Kelly Wright when he came to our door in mid-August. He began with

asking me what I thought was the good and bad of Marysville, then impressed me with his ideas and opinions. It was also a very educational meeting for me. With his deep understand-ing of a city’s infrastructure, I believe he would be a refreshing change to our local government and fully endorse his candidacy. I encourage voters to check this candidate out. I think you will agree he is the best person for the job.

Support the Chargers

As homeowners in Marysville for 11 years we were very proud to have our daughter attend the new Marysville Getchell high last year.

District-wide budget cuts had placed the sports pro-gram opening at Getchell in jeopardy. After hard budget reconfigurations by the board and tremendous support by parents and the community, the Getchell Chargers will begin on track this season.

I think its very important that we turn out in person at the games this season to show our continuing sup-port for all their hard work.

Before every election, strips of land like the one between the BNSF tracks

and Old Highway 99 are thor-oughly decorated with signs. It’s a mess that must cause members of Marysville’s Arts Commission to tear their hair. Either Marysville’s City Code is a little murky on the posting of political signs or the city hasn’t found it practi-cal to enforce or strengthen it. Whatever, the result amounts to a civic eyesore.

A few provisions of city code touch the issue. Public nuisances are treated in Chapter 6.24.050. Abandoned signs and free-stand-ing litter-on-a-stick signs are defined in Chapter 22A.020.070. Temporary signs are theo-retically governed by Chapter 22C.160.080(7b).

Election litter is usually defined as signs placed on public, government-owned property or on privately owned property without the owner’s permission. Though sometimes banned by local governments, political signs remain as pervasive as crabgrass. Where signs are permitted, they are generally regulated as to size, allowable time for posting and mandatory time for removal.

Some argue that the whole-sale posting of political signs is protected as free speech. That notion took a hit in 1984 when the United States Supreme Court held that political propaganda on public property was not entitled to protection under the First

Amendment and that the states may enact and enforce laws to criminalize this “visual assault on the citizens.” That’s rather strong language.

The city of Raleigh, N.C. came down on political signs from another angle. The city won a court ruling that said, “... no empirical studies are necessary for reasonable people to conclude that billboards (including politi-cal signs) pose a traffic hazard, since by their very nature they are designed to distract drivers from maintaining their view of the road.”

The worst aspect of politi-cal signs is that they really work without giving voters anything of substance. SignElect.com, a web vendor of political signs said, “Political signs are a common sight through the year during upcoming elections. These great yard signs you see across town everyday help put your name out there for potential voters to see. The best part about these amazing plastic yard signs is that they really do work! Think about it, with so many people driv-ing, walking or jogging in their everyday life they are bound to notice the campaign lawn signs, especially if the colors and the

messages stand out.”The fact that roadside signs do

influence elections through noth-ing more than name-recognition should be reason enough to question their use. Simple name-recognition has nothing to say about a candidate’s qualifications. In fact, plastering roadsides with candidates’ names has accounted for placing quite a number of dodos, axe-grinders and nincom-poops in public office.

Papering the landscape with name-bearing signs has proven to be the cheapest way to get elect-ed. SINELECT.com offers 100 12x12 signs for $65. Think bigger and you can get 100 16x24 signs for $1.55 each. Of course that’s for only one color of ink. Speedy Signs USA sells 100 12x18 signs for only $99.00. At that rate a couple hundred dollars worth of signs would saturate every arteri-al in Marysville. But to do the job right you’ll need to pay more for multi-hued glitzy eye-catchers. Even then they’re a bargain.

Overkill application of flashy signs can elect anyone, even ani-mals. Aided by road signs, Molly the Dog from Oklahoma was named a candidate in the U.S. presidential election. Morris, a cat, ran as a candidate in the U.S. presidential election in 1988. In our state, Boston Curtis, a brown mule, was offered as a candidate for a Republican precinct seat in Milton, Wash., winning 52 to zero. One perpetrator of an elec-

C’mon, Capricorn. The ideas are churning, but you have yet to get a one of them on paper. Stop procrastinating and work to put them into action.

Exactly, Aquarius. You knew something was up at home, and now the secret is out. Be careful how you proceed. You don’t want to add fuel to the fire.

Now is not the time to rock the boat at work, Pisces. Keep your opinions to yourself and your nose to the grind. There will be an opportunity later to express your thoughts.

Ready or not, Aries. Fall is coming. You need to start preparing your home. That little issue you’ve been avoiding must be dealt with soon. A friend returns a favor.

A young family member has milked the situation long enough. Take the bull by the horns, Taurus, and put an end to the madness once and for all. Everyone will thank you.

Keeping your distance at work is well advised this week, Gemini. Tensions will be running so high that one wrong word could cause chaos.

This week is all about letting your hair down, Cancer. Cut loose and have some fun. It doesn’t matter what people think. A debt is paid off. Celebrate with a night on the town.

An old friend puts on the pressure. Don’t give in unless you really want to get involved, Leo. Your star begins to rise at work. Keep up the good work.

Divide and conquer, Virgo. That will be key to completing a major task at home. Fall festivities begin. Join in the fun. An old flame drops by for a visit.

This is the time for you to get serious about your job, Libra. New faces are watching diligently. A family feast smoothes ruffled feathers.

Poor Scorpio. You’ve suffered in silence long enough. Find an outlet to work out your feelings. A home improvement project requires you to look before you leap.

Yeehaw, Sagittarius. All signs point to sweet success. Savor the moment. A tougher assignment lies ahead. Close friends invite you on road trip.

Our organization and many oth-ers like it were

founded originally because people with disabilities needed us. But along the way, we discovered something as amazing as it is self-evident once you think about it — that is, people of all abilities need each other and are better together.

In those early days, the main focus of was to pro-mote the basic civil rights, independence and inher-ent value of people with developmental conditions. A major victory of that time was the passage of H.B. 90, the bill that man-dates equal educational opportunity for all chil-dren regardless of ability in the state of Washington.

From the perspective of the fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters of children with devel-opmental conditions, it was only natural that they should be welcomed into the world. They were such important parts of the family, why wouldn’t they

be embraced as full mem-bers of society with the potential not only to learn and grow, but to produce and contribute and engage fully in the life of the com-munity?

This rich potential can be seen in something as fundamental as two children playing together. We’ve seen again and again at our inclusive pre-schools how children of all abilities — those with developmental conditions and those without — can grow, flourish, teach and influence each other, and simply immerse them-selves in the joy of having fun with another human being.

That same potential plays out over and over in the workplace. When employers embrace diver-sity, they invite new per-spectives that evoke the

best qualities of everyone involved. The benefits of employment to the person with a disability are well understood and obvious: a sense of purpose, the satis-factions of a job well done, a measure of indepen-dence, the pride of earning your own pay, a sense of belonging, and so on. But it is the benefit to every-one else in the workforce that surprises many with its profound power.

Our organization works with employers throughout the Pacific Northwest to create inclu-sive working environ-ments where people of all abilities work together side by side. One of those employers is a senior executive with a major retailing chain with more than 250 stores in the United States and Canada. “I can’t get over it,” he tells me all the time. “In

every store where we hire people from your employ-ment agency, in-store sales improve, produc-tivity improves, morale improves, and absenteeism goes down. What’s going on here?”

What’s going on here is that we are better together. When people of all abilities work together, they make each other stronger. When we add diversity to our sur-roundings, when we begin to develop relationships with people who experi-ence the world differently than we do, new qualities are evoked that would never have been realized in any other way.

It really is alchemy, which the dictionary defines as “a power or process of transforming something common into something special.” Think about the magic of ordi-nary water, a parallel I’ve

noted before. As ecologist Joanna Macy points out about oxygen and hydro-gen, “One could never have anticipated the properties that emerge when these elements interact.” The whole is so much more than the sum of its parts.

People of all abilities are like oxygen and hydrogen. When we stay separated, when we have relationships only with people like our-selves, we get more of the same. When we engage in diversity, we literally get the very stuff of life.

A few months ago, one of our job coaches arranged a trial work experience in a restaurant for a highly capable young man with a developmental condition. The idea was that the young man would try restaurant work for a week or two to see if he liked it. Not only did he like working in the restau-

rant, the restaurant liked him. When the trial period ended, the other employees demanded that the owner hire this young man to be a permanent part of their team. The employees felt so strongly they threatened to quit, every one of them, if this young man was not hired.

He was hired, and this restaurant has become a better place to work: the employees more produc-tive, the customers more satisfied, and the business more successful — not just because of his productivity, but because of the qualities he evokes in everyone else around him. Because of the powerful alchemy of inclu-sion, we are truly better together.

tion hoax famously said, “Never underestimate the gull-ibility or ignorance of the American voter.”

Steven Colbert of Comedy Central highlighted the name-recognition flaw by endorsing a non-existent candidate, Rick Parry (not the Rick Perry of Texas). By keeping the Rick Parry name — not qualifications — in front of his audiences the bogus candidate’s run gained traction.

Name recognition should not be allowed to count for as much as it does. If it were to come down to one source, opinions gained from candidates’ profiles in vot-ers’ pamphlets would serve us much better. Yet it is the annual deluge of name-bearing signs that seems to tip the balance in favor of whoever is blessed with a com-fortable-sounding name, comes up with an eye-catching sign design and buries the opposition with sheer quan-tity of signs.

No doubt about it, candidates who have to depend on political signs to maximize name-recognition cheapen and pervert the electoral process. It is good that Washington State is relatively free of the other wonderfully sleazy tactics that tainted elections in Illinois, Kentucky, Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin and Florida but we can still clean up our act by re-thinking sign ordinances.

Tighter control of electioneering signs would go a long way toward assuring us of a better grade of office holders. This is necessary. Given the state of our society and economy we can’t afford to be so sloppy in how we choose candidates.

Getchell’s first football team has been practicing relentlessly all summer long to build the team and make their debut the best possible. The new athletic direc-tor for Getchell, Coach Bronson

Castellano has been encouraging coaches and players to set their sights on going to the west coast conferences.

Only the varsity football games will be scheduled this year at the Marysville Pilchuck fields until we can fund another grandstand at Marysville Getchell. All other sports including jv football, girls

soccer, volleyball and cross coun-try will be played at Getchell. The very first home game at Getchell will be girls soccer on Sept. 8 at 5:30. So please join me in starting a new tradition of supporting the Marysville Getchell Chargers.

Thank you,Paula Ireland

ARLINGTON — Perhaps the only disappointment the Eagles faced Sept. 2 was that they didn’t get the chance to play against possibly the state’s best running back, KeiVarae Russell.

But then again, it’s hard to find a letdown in a 42-12 drubbing of Mariner in a non-conference contest on opening night.

“I was really proud of our guys,” said Arlington head coach Greg Dailer. “We had some misreads, wrong routes and some dropped passes, but I liked the way we overcame them.”

Any mishaps the Eagles had in the first half could be chalked up to opening night jitters, and were prob-ably well forgotten less than 10 minutes into the con-test, as the Eagles owned a 21-0 lead. Senior quarter-back Blake McPherson took advantage of an undersized Marauder secondary, com-pleting 8 of 16 pass attempts for 186 yards and three scores in the first quarter.

“Our receivers are some of the best athletes in the state,” said McPherson. “I feel like I can just throw it up there and they’ll come down with it.”

Arlington scored on touchdown receptions from Skylor Elgarico (82 yards), Terry Dawn (11 yards) and Colton Hordyk (15 yards).

And while the Eagles were lighting up the score-board, the Marauders had a difficult time moving the chains without their work-horse.

“Fantastic effort for our defense,” said Dailer. “You hate to see any athlete not be able to play, but especial-ly one like KeiVarae Russell. It’s a little disappointing, for them as well as for us when you get a chance to go against somebody like that, you get excited because you want to see how you mea-sure up.”

In the absence of Russell, who suffered a minor con-cussion earlier in the week, Arlington’s defensive line disrupted the Mariner’s touted offensive line, with senior Dylan Worley lead-

ing the way with four of his seven tackles resulting in a loss, including a sack.

“I wasn’t surprised,” said Worley about not allowing a single point in the first half. “I think our defense is the best in the state and I think if KeiVarae were here, we could have shut them out too.”

Arlington limited Mariner to just 27 yards in the first half — piling up five tackles for losses, a pair of three-and-outs and a Elgarico interception — while amass-ing 334 yards and a 42-0 lead behind three rushing touch-downs by Hordyk, who also finished with 100 yards on the ground. McPherson fin-ished the day going 11-for-20 for 222 yards.

The Eagles were able to let their underclassmen play much of the second half, while Mariner scored a pair of TDs to avoid putting up a zero in a game that pit-ted favorites of the Western Conference’s North and South divisions.

Arlington travels to Everett Memorial to face Jackson Sept. 9.

RENTON — Lindbergh wel-comed Marysville Getchell to the world of varsity football by beat-ing the Chargers 40-0, Sept. 1, at Renton Memorial Stadium.

“I think we made a lot of mistakes but I think we also learned from those mistakes,” said Marysville Getchell coach Davis Lura. “The score didn’t turn out the way we wanted to, but we stayed positive.”

The Chargers, playing the first football game in school history, struggled offensively in the first half and came up with just one first down.

“In the first half we were not quite synching together,” Lura said. “I think it just took us a little while to settle down.”

Lindbergh took a 7-0 lead on the final play of the first quarter when Daniel Wiitanen broke loose from a pack of tacklers and scrambled 61 yards for a score.

The Eagles struck with three more scores in the second quarter and entered the half with a 27-0 lead.

While the score doesn’t show it,

the Chargers made some positive plays on defense. Kaleb Seymer stopped Lindbergh’s Cam Callen on the two-yard line on a fourth and goal, and Chase Kyzar recov-ered a fumble in the end zone to shut down another Lindbergh scoring threat.

Marysville Getchell also made adjustments at the half and improved offensively in the third quarter and marched on a couple of sustained drives.

“Those were big for us,” Lura said. “Just being able to come into a game and having to change things quickly, for us to do that was huge.”

Even while showing improve-ment later in the game, the Eagle defense overwhelmed the Chargers for the most part. The Chargers threw five interceptions and lost a fumble, three of which were returned for touchdowns by Lindbergh. But Marysville Getchell didn’t get down mentally.

“They didn’t hang their heads,” Lura said. “They stayed positive, even after the game.”

Lindbergh coach Pat O’Grady came away impressed with the way the Chargers held up against stiff

competition - Lindbergh has been to state three years straight and is a favorite in the Seamount League again.

“They played us really hard and kept it a game for quite a while,” O’Grady said. “They’ve got a good foundation built there and they’ll do well.”

O’Grady also sympathized with some of the Chargers’ difficulties starting from scratch.

“I know the struggles that we have and we’re an established pro-gram,” O’Grady said. “Their coach-ing staff over there they’re starting from ground zero. While that’s got to be exciting, you know there’s going to be some growing pains along the way.”

The score may not have exactly as the team wanted, Lura said the most important thing is that the Chargers continued to play hard.

“I was confident our kids would play hard, and that’s the only thing that was important,” he said. “Obviously as a coach you want to win a ball game, but to me it’s more meaningful that the kids play hard and lose than win and not play hard.”

As far as Ronda Hardcastle is concerned, the key to get-ting kids fitter is ensuring that their parents are active-ly involved as well.

Hardcastle serves as the health and well-being direc-tor for the Marysville YMCA and is looking forward to the start of “ACT!” — “Actively Changing Together” — this month at YMCAs through-out Snohomish County.

The 12-week ACT! pro-gram for children and teens starts Sept. 12 at the Marysville Y and offers nutrition and exercise guide-lines that the whole family can put into practice and, according to Hardcastle, its success depends on the whole family — parents and kids alike — taking part in the program.

“Parents are an inte-gral part of this program,” Hardcastle said. “We’re not just running the kids through this. Fitness begins at home. If you don’t include the parents, then you can teach the kids about healthy living and eating until you’re blue in the face, but they’re not the ones who are going to be doing most of the cooking in the house. We need to reinforce the support system for these lessons at home.”

To that end, not only does ACT! provide trans-lators for Spanish-speaking parents, but each session will also include discussion periods, with the instruc-tors and within the groups themselves, that will require program participants to be actively engaged in learning the lessons and contributing their own experiences.

“We want them to develop a camaraderie,” Hardcastle said. “Of course we’ll be going over informa-tion about carbohydrates, fats and the food pyramid, as well as how they put together their own menus, but they actually have to do that as homework, and then come back and tell us how

it went.”While parents and kids

will share exercise and dis-cussion periods as part of ACT!, the parents will also be given their own sepa-rate exercise and discussion periods, as will their kids, so that they can exchange ideas among their peers.

“The most important thing about the program is that you have to be willing to try things out and put forth the effort,” Hardcastle said. “You won’t gain any benefits from it if you just sit through it. You’ve got to be willing to get down and dirty.”

ACT! is for children aged

8-11 and teens aged 12-14 who are referred by a health care provider and have a BMI equal to or greater than the 85th percentile. Each weekly 90-minute ses-sion is completely free to those who qualify, thanks to the YMCA’s “Invest in Youth” funds.

“This is one of the pro-grams that we pound on doors to get donations for,” Hardcastle said.

A nutritionist and physi-cal activity coach will lead each session of ACT!, whose games and activities to build cardiovascular health, strength and flexibility will include fitness stations,

obstacle courses, swimming and dance. Participants will also fix light meals for themselves at each session, with guidance.

Referral forms for ACT! can be found online at ymca-snoco.org/act, and should be printed off and submitted to your health care provider. ACT! is presented in partnership with the Seattle Children’s Hospital, the Everett Clinic and Providence Physicians Group.

The Marysville YMCA is located at 6420 60th Dr. NE. You can call Hardcastle at 360-653-9622 for more information.

ARLINGTON — Sept. 10 will see the Downtown Arlington Business Association dedicating the completion of a project that’s been one of their goals for years.

“Mary Green, a local busi-ness owner and longtime Arlington resident, had the dream of the downtown busi-nesses purchasing a town clock,” DABA President Debora Nelson said. “The thought has been there for many, many years. A fund was started in 2009 and slow-ly crept up to $700 through donations.”

Nelson credited the pro-ceeds from different DABA-hosted events throughout the years, including the annual Show ‘N Shine Car Show, with allowing herself, DABA Treasurer Julie Tate, Secretary Debbie Whitis and Vice President Morgan Macauley to move to purchase the clock and have it installed on Olympic Avenue.

“The City Council accepted this gift at their Aug. 1 meet-ing,” Nelson said. “DABA organized and covered the cost of the installation of the clock with the help of project manager Terry Marsh, [city Recreation Coordinator] Sarah Lopez, Cuz Concrete and Donnelson Electric.

The guys who helped to lift this hefty clock are retired Arlington Fire Chief Jim Rankin, Jay Downing, and David and Justin Klein.”

The clock is installed near the downtown Arlington parking lot and its ribbon-cutting ceremony will com-mence at 11 a.m. on Sept. 10. It was purchased from East Bay Clock Company and stands 12 feet tall. It’s made of heavy cast iron, with gold trim and an unbreak-able face. Nelson described its style as complementary to historic downtown Arlington, and estimated that the cost of its purchase and installation adds up to an approximately $9,000 investment in the city.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Library’s sum-mer reading program for this year wrapped up in a grand fashion for 10-year-old Luis Lopez.

Lopez, who went back to school at Cascade Elementary on Sept. 6, received a cookie “the size of his head” and a life-sized poster of him hold-ing his favorite book on Aug. 20 from Kathy Smargiassi, the children’s librarian at the Marysville Library.

Smargiassi explained that Lopez first read 10 books, which automatically won him a free book of his own, then read at least another 10 to enter to win the drawing. Lopez’s favorite books are the “Guardians of Ga’Hoole” series by Kathryn Lasky.

Smargiassi congratulated all the summer reading pro-gram participants for doing their part to prevent “the dreaded summer learning loss.”

“Sno-Isle Libraries has a fun summer reading pro-gram every year to encourage children to read,” Smargiassi said. “This summer they had a theme of ‘One World, Many

Stories,’ because every time you open up a book, you enter a new world.”

Every child who signed up for the summer reading pro-gram was issued his or her own “passport” with which to keep track of their read-ing. Once a child had read 10 books, they were allowed to pick out a book of their own to keep. Those children who continued to read were allowed to place an entry for the Marysville Library’s branch prize for every 10 additional books that they read.

“Yes, Luis read more than 20 books this summer to win his prize,” Smargiassi said. “One girl read more than 200 books. Another girl was going through the summer activities suggested in the passport and wrote a postcard to the librar-ians saying, ‘I hope everyone in the library, especially the librarians, has an amazing-ley awesome summer. P.S. I think that’s how you spell amazingley.’”

The Marysville Library’s kid-centric programs, to encourage children to visit them during the summer months, included informa-tion on Egyptian mummies and how to play games from

around the world, as well as visits from a live llama and a juggling magician. Smargiassi touted the value of these attractions in maintaining the youngsters’ reading levels.

“Contrary to popular opin-ion, including many educa-tors’, most students, even those ‘at-risk,’ make decent progress in their reading abil-ities during the school year,” Smargiassi said. “It’s sum-mer when they fall behind. Children who read over the summer either stay the same or get better with their read-ing ability. Children who don’t read over the summer lose a lot of what they learned during school and have to relearn it again in the fall.”

Smargiassi cited a three-month achievement gap, each year, between the sum-mer readers and the non-summer readers, which she noted adds up a year and a half of lost reading develop-ment time between the first and sixth grades.

“Summer reading pro-grams such as the one at the Marysville Library are an effi-cient, fun way to incorporate reading and reading-related activities into summer fam-ily time,” said Smargiassi.Word count: 521.

SMOKEY POINT — Duane Weston has vol-unteered countless hours of community service over the course of sev-eral decades in Arlington, and for his efforts he’ll be receiving the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

The sixth annual award breakfast will take place at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14, at the Stilly Senior Center, located at 19308 Smokey Point Blvd.

According to Weston, he’s not much for the limelight.

“I just see a need of inter-est and fill it,” said Weston, who retired as the chief forester and president of Pilchuck Tree Farm in 2001, but still maintains a part-time position as director of external affairs, dealing with recreational users.

Weston’s volunteer activi-ties have included leadership

of the Arlington Volunteer Search and Rescue from 1968-1971. The organi-zation had 31 missions in 1971 alone. He also served the Arlington Methodist Church as representative to its Boy Scout troop and Explorer Search and Rescue post.

After the Arlington United Methodist Church merged with the Arlington United Church of Christ to become the Arlington United Church, Weston continued to serve the church in a number of posi-tions, including moderator, finance chair and church trustee.

Weston’s Scouting activi-ties have included stints as committee chair of Troop 86 in Stanwood and Scoutmaster of Arlington’s Troop 29 in 1983. He earned the Tyee District Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver Awards for his volunteer efforts, which also included

forestry advice at the Boy Scout camp and a num-ber of years on the council board.

In the fall of 1980, Weston became one of the founders of the Arlington Community Food Bank. He went on to serve on its board for 29 years, includ-ing a run as its president from 1996-2010.

Among the activities in which Weston is still involved are the Snohomish-to-Arlington Trail Coalition and the Washington Forest Protection Association. He recently retired from the board of the Snohomish Conservation District, where he had served as chair the past few years. He still serves on the Stillaguamish Watershed Council and works on behalf of the recovery of the Chinook salmon in the Stillaguamish River. He’s also served on the forestland committee for Snohomish County’s

Growth Management Plan. His previous awards have

included Forester of the Year in 1973 from the Puget Sound Section Society of American Foresters, Washington State Tree Farmer of the Year in 1992 from the American Tree Farm System and the Zalesky Lifetime Achievement Award in Forestry from the Cascade Land Conservancy in 2007.

Weston was born in Spokane in 1938 and grew up on a farm just outside the city. He graduated from Spokane’s North Central High School in 1957, after spending much his of time exploring and pioneering in the surrounding wooded and open areas. After grad-uation, he worked summers for the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho and enrolled at the University of Washington, where he graduated in 1962 with a forestry degree.

Duane Weston met his future wife, Anna Marie Hall, while attending col-lege, and they married in 1963, after he’d completed six months active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps and accepted a job as a forester

at the Pilchuck Tree Farm northeast of Arlington. The Westons now have two mar-ried sons and three grand-children.

Previous Stillaguamish Senior Center Lifetime Achievement Award win-ners include Howard Christianson, Ruth and

Harry Yost, Don Meier, Dick Post and Yolanda Larsen.

The breakfast concludes at 9 a.m.

Seating is limited, so indi-viduals interested in attend-ing the event must contact the Stilly Senior Center for reservations at 360-653-4551.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY — In 2012, Community Transit’s commuter service will maintain much of its current routing with fewer trips, while local service will be restructured to serve higher ridership corridors. On Sept. 1, the agency’s Board of Directors voted 6-3 to approve a plan to cut Community Transit bus ser-vice 20 percent effective Feb. 20, 2012.

After a summer-long public comment process that included reviews of four proposed service plans, the board chose the so-called Hybrid Alternative, which combines the com-muter routing proposed in Alternative I with the local routing of Alternative III, with some modifications. The board did not restore service on Sundays or major holidays.

Snohomish County Councilmember Dave Gossett, Lynnwood Councilmember Ted Hikel, Mountlake Terrace Mayor Jerry Smith, Snohomish County Councilmember Dave Somers, Mill Creek Mayor Mike Todd and Stanwood Mayor Dianne White voted in favor of the plan. It was opposed by Mukilteo Mayor Joe

Marine, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Gold Bar City Councilmember Steve Slawson.

Descriptions of the plan are available on the agency’s website, www.communi-tytransit.org/2012changes and the agency’s blog, communi-tytransit.blogspot.com.

This fall, Community Transit will develop maps and schedules for each of the routes and will launch a public education effort early in 2012. While no specific trip times are available yet, what is known is there will be fewer trips on almost every route, bus frequency will be decreased and the buses will end service between 10 and 11 p.m. on weekdays. Currently the last weekday route finishes at about 1 a.m.

“It’s never easy to cut ser-vice because of the impacts on so many lives,” Gossett said. “We listened to the pub-lic’s input on this issue, and that guided our decision.”

The board looked at four alternatives — three that were presented to the pub-lic in June, and the Hybrid Alternative that was devel-oped at the board’s direction after the initial public com-ment period on the original three alternatives closed in mid-July.

With the decision, Community Transit will cut about 20 percent of its ser-vice starting Feb. 20, 2012. The agency will save about $12 million with the service reductions. The number of jobs that will be eliminated has yet to be determined.

The service cuts are nec-essary because Community Transit’s sales tax revenue has fallen by more than 20 per-cent from the level it received in 2007, the last pre-recession year. Meanwhile, operating expenses such as fuel, sup-plies and labor costs have continued rise.

Community Transit is responsible for providing transportation options for Snohomish County residents, including bus and paratransit service, vanpool and rideshar-ing options. Call Community Transit at 425-353-7433 or 800-562-1375 for bus infor-mation, or 888-814-1300 for carpool or vanpool informa-tion, or go to www.commu-nitytransit.org.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
