ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council voted unanimously on Dec. 3 to adopt the ordinance setting the city’s 2013 budget, marking the conclusion of a process that Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and several Council members alike deemed at once challenging but efficient.

“I think this is the earliest we’ve ever resolved this issue,” Council member Dick Butner said at the Dec. 3 meeting.

“It was swift but tough,” Arlington Mayor Pro Tem Marilyn Oertle said. “We lost a lot of good people this year, which was extremely painful.”

Tolbert credited city of Arlington Finance Director Jim Chase with facilitating the pro-cess by providing monthly finance updates,

and credited the hard work and collab-orative efforts of city staff with developing a budget that holds the line to a 1 percent decrease in revenue while still setting sig-nificant funds aside for improvements to the Arlington Municipal Airport.

“This was a smooth process overall,” Tolbert said.

“It was an interesting process,” Chase said. “We learned a lot and made a lot of changes along the way, and what we got was a budget with $49,079,910 in expenditures.”

Among those expenditures are:■ $12,878,609 for the general fund.■ $944,135 for street maintenance.■ $2,573,584 for emergency medical ser-

vices.

ARLINGTON — Olympic Avenue was packed with specta-tors on Saturday, Dec. 1, as the city of Arlington hosted its annual Hometown Holidays parade and celebration downtown.

Hometown Holidays boasted holiday music, Victorian singers belting out Christmas carols, an old-fashioned bake sale and, of course, a parade featuring Santa Claus himself.

“I love the whole day,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert. “I love the happy smiles on the merchants’ faces and all the kids who are out here today. It’s great.”

The event also included the Carbajal family blood drive in the City Council Chambers, as well as the second annual Handmade Holiday craft market, hosted by the Arlington Farmers Market,

which featured handmade arts, crafts, gifts and decorations from local merchants.

The most popular event of the day was the holiday parade, which boasted hundreds of parade participants including five drill teams, three choral groups, two nativity scenes and even a walking Christmas tree.

Local Girl Scouts of America troops performed a holiday dance routine, as did the Arlington School of Dance members. Local Boy Scouts of America troops made their way through the pro-cession, led by one scout driving a holiday-themed Power Wheels vehicle.

Members of the Bark N’ Time 4H Dog Club made an appear-ance along with several of their four-legged friends, including a popular family of Great Danes

and a Rottweiler disguised as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

The Old Bags of Arlington followed the fire truck lead-ing the parade and handed out toys and candy to chil-dren on the sidewalks. A small angel rode through with the First Baptist Church and tossed handfuls of candy into the crowds.

Although some parade members gave away free sweets, Santa Claus was still the man of the hour, wav-ing to children as he fol-lowed the crowd through the parade in a horse-drawn wagon.

After the parade was fin-ished, Santa hunkered down in a cozy chair by a deco-rated Christmas tree in the gazebo at Legion Park to hear the wishes of hundreds of local kids.

Six-year-old Finnegan Bowman grinned as he asked Santa Claus for a Super Friends toy, while his mother Sandra Andress looked on.

“We came here because we have friends at the mar-ket, but it’s actually our second time,” said Andress. “We like how it’s a nice small-town celebration.”

Following the parade, spectators were allowed to hop onto Santa Claus’ horse-

drawn wagon for a free ride through the streets, and the rides were still going well into the afternoon.

“The free wagon rides are really popular,” said Sarah Lopez, Arlington’s recre-ation manager. “There are so many different community groups doing things dur-ing Hometown Holidays, it’s definitely a group effort. We have lots of help. Lifeway Church is helping, and the Kiwanis Club is here. It’s great.”

A crowd gathered at the Legion Park gazebo at 4

p.m. for the city’s tree light-ing ceremony. They began by singing several holiday tunes, such as Jingle Bells and Jingle Bell Rock, while the Kiwanis Club set up a fire pit for roasting marsh-mallows for s’mores. Santa Claus and Tolbert plugged in the tree lights together, and as the bulbs lit up the crowd cheered. The duo returned to the gazebo for an outrageous holiday sweater contest where the winners received prizes from Action Sports for donning the most festive outfits.

“This whole event is great on two levels,” said Tolbert. “It reminds us all of why we love this community and the small-town atmosphere and it’s great for small busi-nesses. It’s great hometown event — you can shop, eat and take a sleigh ride with your kids.”

Santa will return to Arlington on Saturday, Dec. 8, and Saturday, Dec. 15, for photo-ops at the co-op. Both Saturdays will also offer Victorian singers, holi-day music and free wagon rides.

MARYSVILLE — As of Dec. 6, the possession and use of one ounce or less of marijuana becomes legal in the state of Washington, but how this will be enforced and prosecuted depends upon whom you ask, and in what part of the state.

Prosecutors for King, Pierce and Clark counties have all stated their intentions to drop their existing mis-demeanor marijuana possession cases, but as of Nov. 30, prosecutors for Snohomish County were still explor-ing what the disposition might be on their own existing marijuana cases.

“[Snohomish County Prosecutor] Mark Roe and our other attorneys have been talking to law enforcement and each other,” said Hal Hupp, deputy prosecuting attorney for Snohomish County, who didn’t expect the matter to be resolved by Dec. 6. “Part of the problem is that the legal definition of marijuana up to Dec. 6, 2012, is differ-ent from the legal definition of mari-juana from Dec. 6, 2012, forward.”

One luxury for the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office with these cases is that, as Hupp said, “Dec. 6 is the start date for the new marijuana laws, but it’s not the deadline for deci-sions on the old laws.”

Both Hupp and Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, acknowledged the complexities of the law in the wake of Washington state

voters passing Initiative 502, although she cited the new laws themselves as establishing at least a few certainties.

“If the law says that possession of an ounce or less is legal, we’re not going to arrest you for it,” Ireton said. “If you’re in possession of more than that amount, or you’re under 21 years of age, or you’re distributing it, we will. If we get a call about 30-year-olds smoking up in the park, we’ll respond, because displaying or consuming marijuana in public is still illegal.”

Although the possession, use and sale of marijuana-related drug para-phernalia will no longer be a crime or civil infraction, Ireton acknowledged that until the state comes up with licensing guidelines there is no legal way for people to obtain marijuana itself in Washington, unless they’re medical marijuana recipients.

At the same time, Ireton and Hupp both noted that drivers’ THC levels from marijuana will continue to be grounds for DUI arrests.

Ireton conceded that “these are very confusing laws,” especially given the differing ways in which each county is choosing to respond to them, while Hupp pointed out that the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office is respond-ing “as quickly as it can,” given that “this is a small part of what we do, which tends to focus more on violent and sexual assaults and murder. The costs involved in these changes are already significant.”

“And no, members of the

Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office can’t start smoking marijuana, because we’re still bound by fed-eral laws,” Ireton said, in an attempt to clear up one misconception she’s already encountered.

Marysville City Attorney Grant Weed explained that Marysville, like many cities in Washington, had not yet “sorted out all of the issues the 60-plus page I-502 presents,” but assured citizens that the city of Marysville intends to enforce the new law as written, including the DUI aspects of the new law.

“The city will also be monitoring the many state regulations that will be adopted by the Liquor Control Board over the next year, and taking appropriate steps to seek compliance,” Weed said. “We will also be watching to see what the U.S. Attorney’s Office may do at the federal level.”

Arlington City Attorney Steve Peiffle likewise described his own staff as “still looking at this issue,” albeit at a staff level rather than an attorney one at this point.

“Not unlike the pattern of the past few years, we’re waiting for the fed-eral response,” Peiffle said. “We know that the possession of certain quanti-ties above the age of 21 will no longer be prosecuted and the sale of it is still illegal, but to a large extent, we have no real clue beyond that. We’re operating without guidance and hop-ing someone at a higher level will enlighten us.”

Disposition of marijuana cases uncertainMARYSVILLE — Marysville

Police officers arrested two male suspects soon after they had stolen approximately $10,000 in jewelry from the Marysville K-Mart.

On Friday, Nov. 30, just after 3 p.m., Marysville Police responded to a reported theft at K-Mart located in the 9600 block of State Avenue. Store employees indicated an adult male suspect had come into the store and walked back to the jewelry area. He cut two cables that were securing a container with the jewelry and fled the store. The suspect met up with a second adult male who was waiting as a getaway driver in a Ford F150 pickup. The suspects fled northbound away from the store.

A Marysville officer spot-ted the truck and attempted to make a traffic stop. After ini-tially slowing down the truck then sped off and the officer pursued. After approximately two miles the officer termi-nated the pursuit due to the dangerous driving of the flee-ing suspects.

Officers were still driving in the area and spotted the suspect vehicle again, but the passenger was no longer in the truck. Officers again initiated a traffic

stop and this time the driver, a 51-year-old Everett man, was taken into custody.

Officers continued to attempt to locate the second suspect in the surrounding neigh-borhoods. At some point a Marysville officer had stopped and talked to two Marysville citizens who were working in a shop and gave them a descrip-tion of the suspect, specifically that he was wearing all black clothing and was missing one shoe. A short time later the suspect approached the citi-zens and asked them for a ride into Everett. They immediately recognized he was the suspect police were looking for. One of them told the suspect he would give him a ride but that he had to let his girlfriend know and walked out of eyesight of the suspect. He then called 911 and advised the suspect was in his shop.

Marysville Police, with assistance from Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies, were able to take the second suspect, a 29-year-old Everett man, into custody.

The jewelry was recovered in the suspect vehicle. There were no injuries or damage to property as a result of the pursuit.

There are so many churches around Marysville that I lose

count. It used to be easy keep-ing track of churches by tallying belfries, steeples and crosses but nowadays you find them settled into schools, theaters and industrial parks. About the only way to spot churches is by concentrations of cars on Sunday morning. It’s trickier on Saturday night or whenever else worshippers gather.

Apalachicola, Fla., in the far corner of the U.S., is a strip town on the Gulf that may well hold the title for the most churches and splinter-groups per thousand in the nation. Twenty-two churches line its one main street. Given that its population of 2,350 holds the usual mix of godless heathens, backsliders and barflies and that a few church regulars might choose to do some Sunday devotions from a bass-boat, the count must drop to where cer-tain congregations could meet around a table in the park.

On the up-side, churches are where Apalachicolans do come together. They reserve time from staring at ball games or clinging to pillows to go to churches to find out how to become better people, neigh-bors and citizens. That’s good.

Time was when stained glass and pipe organs impressed

townspeople enough to fill the pews. In those days, many a preacher made a career of literally scaring the hell out of people. Tent-meeting revivals featured preachers who could switch from the love of Jesus to hell and damnation in a single awe-inspiring breath. These things aren’t working as well today.

A new crop of preachers, believing that love is greater than fear, reach for the heart. As often as not, their parishioners pick up a conviction that there’s important work to be done out there and that if they’re to become a part of it, they have to change, too. It truly feels good to be hooked into higher pur-pose than being consumed by scheduling the week’s TV lineup or fluctuations in the stock market.

Churches run food banks, pre-schools, meals-on-wheels, give scholarships, host Alanon, AA, Boy Scouts, Weight-Watchers, blood bank drawings and, of course, car-washes. Churches are behind the best care facilities, hospitals, meals-on-wheels programs and they

care for unfortunates who fall through the cracks in social welfare systems.

Churches have trouble com-peting with Sunday’s bone-jarring drama of pro-football — or a host of other attractions. People who go to church want to go, and a lot don’t. Some have been turned off from a particu-lar church for good reasons. On the plus side, the coffee and cookies are free and it’s a chance to meet people who, on average, aren’t unhappy.

Though churches won’t put it this way, they offer a sort of insurance policy against unhap-py stuff that life might throw your way. It may not cure sick-ness or pay past-due bills but through some mystical goings-on, it appears to set people up so they can cope with whatever ails them. Bad stuff will still happen but according to what I learned in church, life doesn’t have to get me down and if it does, it doesn’t have to hold me down.

I just visited an old buddy who’s on his final count-down. Kidneys have failed, lungs aren’t working right and his heart won’t last much longer. But he’s not down in the dumps and he’s not scared. How about that? If his time at church set him up to reflect happily on even a portion of a life well lived, that’s not bad.

Why all the churches?

Thank you forsupporting FFA food drive

The Marysville FFA would like to give a giant thanks to everyone that helped with their food drive.

We wanted to thank the Arlington Haggen and Food Pavilion for allowing them to get donations from their amazing costumers. We wanted to give a huge thanks to the Arlington Garden Treasures for their donation of fresh produce. Last but not least to all the residents of the Arlington and Marysville homes that helped out.

The FFA had a total of 6,230 food items donated by the great people of Marysville and Arlington. Our school had a grand total of 71,306. We passed our school goal of 10,000 by a landslide.

I also wanted to say thank you to all the food bank vol-unteers. Without volunteers

the food banks of America wouldn’t still be here so thank you.

Thanks again for every-one’s help toward the food drive and thank you to every-one who has helped the food banks past, present, or in the future.

What is wrong with some people?

What is wrong with some people today?

I live in a small apartment complex on Gilman and I’ve recently had one pile of dog feces in my backyard and two in my front. Why won’t people clean up after their animals? They may as well be actively shovel-ing manure into my yard. I wouldn’t do that to you. Don’t do it to me.

Most will agree that the world seems to be going to hell on a handcart. Television and newspapers keep us up to date on the latest election fraud, mass-murder, rape, abduction, drug-bust and hanky-panky in high places. A status quo isn’t the world that parents want children to grow up with. As part of a genera-tion that messed things up so badly, we ought to be gearing up to make things better.

When good church-type people volunteer to set things right as Peace Corps volunteers or poll watchers or whatever, their projects seldom get hung up in the restrictive world of red-tape and petty regulations. How do you regulate stuff that isn’t generating a profit—other than good will? Threats of controlling volunteerism don’t work because there’s not much in the way of assets or wages to threaten.

Churches have a lot of company in doing good works. Volunteers abound at the YMCA, in city government, Kiwanis, Scouts, Rotary, Soroptimists and Lions and so on. A check on the movers and shakers in every seat of volun-teerism will show a surprising number to be church members of some kind.

If you feel so inclined, try out a church. If it doesn’t fit, try another. When you walk in, stun them with the question, “What’s in it for me?” After they pick themselves up and if you’re in the right place they’ll say, “By God, that’s the most honest question we’ve ever heard around here.” And it’s the best and most honest start.

GRAEF FROM PAGE 4

The public Arlington City Council meeting that was held on Nov. 19 was a resounding wake up call which signaled a message loud and clear. I was hopeful that the advent of a new Mayor and City Council members might bring about a new mindset and put an end to the tax and spend mentality of past administrations.

My wife and I purchased our home in Arlington in 2009. Since then I have gone through more Tums and Mylanta than any man alive as a result of the lack of responsible lead-ership.

I questioned the Council on the merits of the decision-making pro-cess which led to the leasing of a postage stamp piece of land from BSNF. This perpetual lease calls for annual increases of 3 percent. Even though this parcel is crucial to the pending road expansion project and federal grant money for its construc-tion, it still begs a resounding ques-tion. Who in their right mind would agree to lease anything where there are perpetual increases with no end? Clearly the taxpayers will be footing this bill for a very long time.

Last year during the city’s public budget meetings residents sent a resounding objection to the skyrock-

eting water and sewage costs the city imposes on homeowners, however, these objections remained unheard. Let me not forget, of course, the 1 percent property tax increase the City Council unanimously voted for in 2012.

During the City Council meeting on Nov. 19, Financial Director Jim Chase proposed another increase to general property tax levy for 2013, which would increase from $1.31 to $1.41 per $1,000 of assessed valu-ation. Mr. Chase further asserted the 1 percent increase in the gen-eral levy doesn’t even keep up with inflation. What Mr. Chase and the City Council fail to recognize is that working families’ salaries and income fail to keep pace with inflation and the shrinking value of the dollar forces working families to struggle now more than ever to keep pace with inflation.

I keep hearing about population

growth in Arlington, however num-bers can be deceiving. I would love to know if anyone ever considered these facts. How many of these resi-dents are on public assistance? How many are senior citizens living on fixed incomes, or how many of these households have a major breadwin-ner who is now partially or com-pletely disabled. It very easy to spout numbers without considering the impact on Arlington residents’ lives.

Furthermore, raising the property tax now displays the moral compass equal to that of Bernie Madoff. I understand now the city plans on hiring an outside entity to lobby on the city’s behalf to the tune of $50,000.

Again I respectfully ask, isn’t that why we elect candidates for public office? Are they not supposed to speak on the behalf of their constitu-ents? Seems to me Arlington desper-ately needs responsible leadership and not more bureaucrats rubbing elbows, kissing babies or posing for photo ops with veterans. Find me a leader who says, “The buck stops here.”

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Police Officer Derek Carlile will not be retried by the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office, but he remains on administra-tive leave with the Marysville Police Department.

“It is necessary for a departmental administra-tive review to take place, and we will continue to move forward with our estab-lished internal process,” said Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux, who added that Carlile’s status with the Marysville Police Department is unchanged.

Joan Cavagnaro, chief criminal deputy pros-ecutor for Snohomish County, explained that the Prosecutor’s Office chose to dismiss second-degree man-slaughter charges against

Carlile after considering the case they made during his first trial, which ended in a mistrial on Nov. 13, with seven jurors who wanted to acquit Carlile, four who wanted to convict him and a remaining juror who was undecided.

“Some of the jurors shared their thoughts with the pros-ecutors and defense attorneys after the trial,” Cavagnaro said. “They gave us some insights on how they viewed the case. It wasn’t an uneven split. Both sides were very sure of their decisions. They just weren’t unanimous.”

After consulting with investigators, Cavagnaro explained that prosecu-tors were satisfied with how they’d presented the evi-dence, to the point that they didn’t anticipate any signifi-cant changes in how they would have presented it in a

second trial.“Sometimes new evidence

comes out of trying a case like this, but that wasn’t the case with this case,” Cavagnaro said. “We’d be in much the same position going into a second trial, so it’s unlikely that we’d get a different result.”

Carlile’s 7-year-old daugh-ter died on March 10 after being shot by her 3-year-old brother with a .38-cali-ber revolver that Carlile had left unsecured in their family van. According to Cavagnaro, the goal of the trial was to determine whether Carlile’s action or inaction constitut-ed criminal negligence in the death of his daughter.

“Obviously, this is a very sad case in which a child died,” Cavagnaro said. “I would urge those who have guns to be extra-careful with them around children.”

Marysville Police Officer will not face retrial


ARLINGTON — The family of Elliot Carbajal hosted their fourth blood drive in his honor dur-ing the city of Arlington’s Hometown Holidays cele-bration on Saturday, Dec. 1.

The Carbajal family set up a blood drive in the City Council chambers, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., in an effort to raise urgently need-ed donations as some local blood centers are down to a two-day supply of certain blood types. The drive also accepted food donations for the Arlington Food Bank.

The drive was originated after Elliot Carbajal was killed in 2009 and his fam-ily decided to honor his memory by supporting his habit of donating blood.

“The first time we did a blood drive was in January [2010], because we want-ed it to be close to Elliot’s actual memorial service,” said Joyce Phillips, event organizer and Elliot’s sister. “This is our first time at Hometown Holidays.”

Dozens of Hometown Holidays attendees waited in line to donate blood dur-ing the drive, and the food drive had already filled four crates with donations in the first two hours of the event.

The blood drive coincid-ed with the news that Elliot Carbajal would be honored in another way. After his death, Elliot saved the lives of two people by donating his kidneys to those requir-ing transplants.

Carbajal will be hon-ored at the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 1. A floragraph bearing his photo will make its way along the parade route as part of the Donate Life America Rose

Parade Float, titled Journeys of the Heart.

“We were asked to par-ticipate in the parade,” said Phillips. “They’ll bring the floragraph up and we’ll have a finishing event next week-end.”

On Sunday, Dec. 9, the Carbajal family will gath-er at a reception to finish the floragraph and honor Elliott and other donors at Gleneagle Golf Course from 5-9 p.m.

Elliot’s brother Adam Carbajal expressed grati-tude for those who donated

both blood and food during the drive.

“My personal take is that we are giving back to a community that Elliot loved,” he said. “It’s a great community, it’s a safe com-munity. Somewhere around high school age, Elliot real-ized that he could help by donating blood and it didn’t cost anything. He’s donated more than six gallons in his lifetime. I think it’s great that people are coming out to support our cause and are donating and giving back to the community.”

SMOKEY POINT — A free six-week educational series on “Powerful Tools for Caregivers” will run from Jan. 16 through Feb. 20, 2013, from 1:30-4 p.m., at the Stillaguamish Senior Center located at 18308 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington.

Family Caregiver Support Program aims to provide unpaid family caregivers with the skills they need to better care for themselves while caring for others.

This class is designed to help caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to reduce personal stress,

communicate their needs effectively in challenging situations, deal with difficult emotions and make tough caregiving decisions.

Preregistration is required by contacting Debbie Cook by phone at 360-653-4551, ext. 236, or via email at [email protected].

‘Powerful Tools for Caregivers’ returns to Stilly Senior Center


MARYSVILLE — Even before “Merrysville for the Holidays” commenced that afternoon, downtown Marysville was literally singing with holiday cheer on Saturday, Dec. 1, as the stores, sidewalks and stages of Third Street were visited by a duo of strolling musi-cians and an a cappella quar-tet.

“We’ve lost count of how many Christmas seasons we’ve come to Third Street,” said accordionist Bert Carlson, as he and saxophon-ist Herb Hamilton ducked into shops such as Finders Keepers Furnishings while wearing their Victorian peri-od attire. “It just feels like an old-time Christmas, the way Christmas used to be.”

“It’s the camaraderie of the community,” Hamilton agreed. “They’re one big family here.”

On the Outer Court stage adjacent to the Carabinieri Bar espresso stand, the quartet of Ron Foss, Joneen Richards, and Darryl and Karen Handley performed popular seasonal standards while community members dropped off food items for Allen Creek Community Church’s Seeds of Grace, in order to get their families’ photos taken with Santa Claus.

“This is a great stage, but you can’t let yourself get dis-tracted,” Richards laughed, as Karen Handley pointed out that they had to remem-ber to ignore the sounds of the trains and to bring their own lights when their per-

formances go late.“We just hope we can

make what might be a dif-ficult holiday season for some folks a bit more enjoy-able,” Foss said, while prais-ing Carabinieri Bar owner Chrissie Clementson for being such a gracious host.

For her part, Clementson was surprised that her col-lection bucket had already overflowed before Santa had even posed for many photos, but she wasn’t alone since Eric Schoonmaker, co-own-er of Trusty Threads, had to empty out the plastic barrel that was serving as his col-lection bin for St. Joseph’s House, not once or twice or three times, but four times before the afternoon.

“There’s been lots of inter-

est,” said Schoonmaker, who credited the “Passport to Christmas” program by the Downtown Marysville Merchants’ Association with getting people out on the street and into Third Street’s stores that day. “People saw the story in the newspaper, and they like our shops any-way. By having them get their ‘passports’ stamped by all the participating stores, it’s given them an added incentive and turns it into a game.”

“It’s nice to have an atmosphere like this,” said Marja Oosterwyk, owner of Oosterwyk’s Dutch Bakery. Although she wasn’t able

to participate in this year’s “Passport to Christmas” pro-gram, she appreciated the number of filled-up parking spots on the street, which she credited to the program.

Mary Kirkland, owner of the Hilton Pharmacy, agreed that the number of visitors to her store who stopped by to get their “passports” stamped was “a lot.”

“Many of them had never been here before,” said Kirkland, who reported that scented candles proved to be one of her more popu-lar shopping selections that day. “Especially the Indian Summer candles.”

Santa Claus keeps a contented Kyle Paquette on his lap for the boy’s first Christmas.


MARYSVILLE — Santa Claus was a busy guy in Marysville on Saturday, Dec. 1, as he posed for photos not only at the Carabinieri Bar espresso stand for the “Passport to Christmas” and in Comeford Park for “Merrysville for the Holidays,” but also at the Marysville Mall to help raise funds for the Marysville Historical Society.

“The fun thing about this is that we’ve had a lot of repeat customers,” MHS President Ken Cage said. “A number of kids have come all four years that we’ve had this, but we’ve also had some newcomers this year, who saw the story in The Marysville Globe.”

The Santa photo sales were supplemented that day by a bake sale and a raffle prize table, with Cage bragging that the brownies, cookies, fudge and other baked goods were all handmade by MHS members.

“With $50 from raffle tick-et sales, $20 in goodies sold and about 50-60 kids who came in, I’m guessing we probably made around $400 all told,” MHS Treasurer Meg Engelter said that afternoon, even as families continued to come in for their Santa pho-tos. “By gathering up their emails, we hope to be able to let them know next year when we offer Santa photos again.”

Engelter and Marysville City Council member Steve Muller, also a Board member of the Marysville Historical Society, agreed that the pri-mary fundraising focus for the MHS remains its long-awaited museum and com-munity center.

“It’s going to be more than a museum,” said Muller, who noted that the hear-ing examiner will review the conditional use permit for the facility at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 13.

City of Marysville offi-cials and representatives of local service clubs joined MHS members in break-ing ground at the site for the facility, adjacent to the Jennings Park Barn area, on Aug. 25 of this year.

Muller touted the facil-ity’s planned 200-person grand hall, which he sees as a means of turning it into a center of social and cultural activity, which in turn could provide its own revenue stream.

“We won’t have to go out of town for our big celebra-tions,” Muller said.

In the meantime, one of the Marysville Historical Society’s most pressing needs is more volunteers, so those who are interested or would like more infor-mation should call Cage at 360-659-3090.

The Marysville Historical Society is located in Suite B at 1508 Third St.

Santa photos raise funds for Historical Society

Farmers Market hosts Handmade HolidayBY LAUREN SALCEDO

[email protected]

ARLINGTON — For the second year in a row the Arlington Farmer’s Market has hosted Handmade Holiday, a craft and local goods market at the Co-Op, on Saturday, Dec. 1, dur-ing the city of Arlington’s Hometown Holidays cel-ebration.

The Co-Op accessory building was packed with shoppers looking to snag hand-crafted goods, winter veggies and even pictures with Santa.

“We are definitely on track to be better attended than last year,” said Samantha Schuller, event coordinator. “I’d say that’s because of our reputation for having real-ly high-quality handmade items. We have fewer ven-dors than last year, but it’s all supreme quality. It’s just really good stuff.”

The market offered locally grown plants and vegetables, baked goods, local honey, truffles, knitted hats, cro-cheted scarves, handmade Christmas ornaments, vin-tage-inspired jewelry, hand-

made soaps and more.Victory Ralston, a

15-year-old Arlington resi-dent, started her own busi-ness two years ago and began selling her own cre-ations online and at Bella Bungalow, an Arlington boutique.

“I’ve always loved crafty things and I love vintage and I thought I’d combine the two into handmade vin-tage-inspired things,” she said. Ralston sold a variety of her items at Handmade Holiday, her second year there.

“I like that it’s during the holiday time, because my items make really good gifts,” said Ralston, who also sells her wares at www.vin-tagebyvictory.etsy.com.

Christina Corvin of Marysville is another ven-dor who chose to sell her products at the market for the second year in a row.

“I love the Arlington Farmers Market,” she said. “There’s a great sense of community and environ-mental responsibility.”

Corvin has been crochet-ing for 17 years and selling

her creations for two years. She sold hats, scarves and more at the market.

The event spanned from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Santa Claus made an appear-ance for photos from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The city of Arlington was hosting its Hometown Holidays event at the same time which helped expose hundreds of visitors to the craft mar-ket. Handmade Holiday also offered a $5 per ticket raffle to win a live 5-foot

noble fir Christmas tree completely decked out with ornaments, decorations and gifts from the vendors, with proceeds going to sup-port the Farmers Market.

“There is so much great stuff on there, I almost want to win it myself,” joked Schuller.

For more informa-tion about the Arlington Farmers Market and upcoming events visit www.arlingtonfarmersmar-ket.blogspot.com.

Among the 2013 budget’s major expenditure assump-tions are that service lev-els for next year will likely decline in several areas due to reductions in city staff that occurred in August and October of this year, while

police enforcement should increase due to the filling of two vacancies in October, and fire staffing is expected to return to its full levels in 2013.

Although cost of living adjustments were given to the new American Federation of State Counties and Municipal Employees union in November of this year, no COLA is currently being provided to manage-ment or non-represented staff. While AFSCME employees agreed to take eight furlough days in 2012, no furlough days are expected to be required in 2013. Fire and EMS employ-ees have even consented to reduce 2013 holiday pay.

The Arlington City Council already voted unanimously to increase the city’s general property taxes, by the allowable 1 percent in 2013, during their regular meeting on Nov. 19, from $1.31 to $1.41 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. However, the Emergency Medical Services levy is already at its maximum limit of 50 cents per $1,000

of assessed valuation, and the assessed valuation of the city has declined for the fourth year in a row, so the EMS fund will be forced to levy a smaller amount of property taxes in 2013 than what was levied in 2012.

Among the 2013 budget’s major revenue assump-tions are its population figure of 17,970, as deter-mined by the Office of Financial Management for the state of Washington, and the Snohomish County Assessor’s Office prelimi-nary estimated assessed val-uation of $1,732,970,358 for Arlington in 2013, approxi-mately a 4.9 percent reduc-tion from 2012.

The city’s utility taxes are 5 percent for water, sewer and storm water; 6 percent for telephone, natural gas and electricity; and 8 percent for cable TV and garbage. The local sales tax for criminal justice funding is authorized at one-tenth of 1 percent of retail sales transacted in Snohomish County, while Arlington receives 1 percent of the 8.6 percent local retail and sales use tax.

The 2013 budget’s esti-mates for sales tax receipts are based on the prior year’s collection amounts and its utility taxes are based on estimated collections for 2012.

During the Council’s Nov. 19 meeting, Council mem-ber Debora Nelson had asked Chase, “How do you feel this budget does as far as building reserve funds five years down the line?”

“It’s hard to say,” Chase said. “We need to get through this year first, and we have to see how the economy does.”

Chase described the 2013 budget as “a difficult bud-get to put together, involving a lot of different scenarios,” and joined Tolbert in prais-ing city staff for mapping out those possibilities.

There was no public tes-timony during the public hearing on the 2013 budget at the Nov. 19 Council meet-ing.

ARLINGTON — More than 100 area singers will come together as the Arlington-Marysville Community Choir to present George Frederic Handel’s “Messiah” Christmas choruses under the direction of Lyle Forde.

The Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center will serve as the site for this Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 9, starting at 2:30 p.m., with tickets running $5 per person or $10 for the whole family at the door, for festival seating.

“Hallelujah is among the most loved selections from Handel’s masterpiece, and is the closing chorus for the Arlington-area Community Choir and orchestra produc-tion,” said Forde, who added that the large choir meets biannually and has estab-

lished a tradition of present-ing inspirational Christmas programs featuring a number of selected community musi-cal groups, which include carol sing-alongs and con-clude with the most well-known Christmas choruses from “Messiah.”

This concert will also fea-ture the Overman Family Singers, the “4 This Time” girls’ chorus, a vocal quar-tet, Jazzmine arrangements of holiday music and more.

“Though the centerpiece of the program is ‘Messiah,’ the program is one of variety in style and genre,” Forde said.

The Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center is located at 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd. in Arlington. For more information, contact Forde via email at [email protected].

MARYSVILLE — The start of the season proved exciting for the Arlington High School girls basket-ball team as they topped the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks in a 56-31 non-league victory at M-PHS on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

The Eagles held the lead for most of the game, although the first half was a close call. The first quar-ter gave Arlington a lead of five points, while the first half finished with the Eagles leading 24-19.

“The first games are always a little bit messy,” said AHS head coach Joe Marsh. “We were rusty in the first half.”

Arlington’s 5-foot-8 sophomore guard Jessica Ludwig led the scoring with 15 points in the game, while 5-foot-7 senior guard Krista Showalter scored 13 points in the game. Ludwig

managed four 3-pointers in the game, while Showalter scored two. Lindsay Brown and Ronnie Ladines were also top scorers, with Brown scoring 11 points and Ladines scoring 9.

“We played much better in the second half, we were much more fundamentally strong,” said Marsh. “That’s what we try to do is play a strong basketball game.”

Marsh is excited about this year’s team, as the Eagles returned a num-ber of players including six seniors — Showalter, Ladines, Brown, Taylor Graham, Winter Brown and Marissa Swegle.

“Krista [Showalter] and Lindsay [Brown] were both second team all-league picks last year,” said Marsh. “Ronnie Ladines, Taylor Graham and Winter Brown are all returning seniors. They know what to do, they know what I want them to do. After that, we are a really young team.”

This year’s varsity roster includes two freshman and one sophomore.

“We’ve got Jayla [Russ] who is a freshman but tall, she is 6-feet tall and very athletic. She is really a smart basketball player,” said Marsh. “And Emma [Janousek], our little point guard, is a freshman and she’s the same way, a real-ly solid, smart basketball player.”

Following the season opener at Marysville-Pilchuck, Arlington faced Stanwood at home on Friday, Nov. 30, and came away with a 55-38 win over the 4A school, when Brown scored 21 points and Showalter scored eight. Brown, Ludwig and Graham each scored a 3-pointer during the game.

Their record is now 2-0 overall and they are set to face Marysville Getchell High School Chargers in an away game on Dec. 5 at 7:15 p.m.

Lady Eagles rout Tommies in season opener


ARLINGTON — The first regular season game for the Arlington Eagles boys basketball finished in a 58-43 win against the visiting Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at AHS.

The Eagles’ 6-foot-5 senior Terry Dawn is the only return-ing starter, and scored the most points during the game at 16. His teammates, 6-foot-1 senior AJ Passalaqua and 6-foot-5 junior Noah Jones, also scored in the double digits with 13 points each.

Marysville-Pilchuck took a three-point lead in the first quarter, but the Eagles brought it back to a 25-21 lead going into halftime. The second half of the game sealed the deal for Arlington, as they scored double the points as the Tomahawks did in the third quarter and another 19 points in the fourth quarter to maintain their lead and capture a 58-43 victory.

Eight of the Eagles’ goals were three-pointers. Passalaqua scored three of the three-pointers, as did 5-foot-10 junior Gavin Smoke. Dawn and 6-foot junior Bradey Brummel scored one three-point

goal each.“I thought that all my play-

ers did pretty well,” said AHS head coach Nick Brown. “We didn’t do so well in the first half, we had a slow start with first game jitters. But we came out in the second half and our offense started building up a little bit and did a better job of sharing the ball, and we did a better job of staying in front of them and rerouting them.”

Brown was impressed with his starters’ performances.

“I thought AJ Passalaqua did a pretty good job of making some big shots when we needed him to,” he said. “Terry Dawn did a good job of being a leader on the floor and being a role model. Gavin Smoke made some great shots when we needed him to and, of course, Noah Jones did a really good job of getting the ball on the block and scoring. I thought we played pretty well, though not as well as we could have.”

Both teams began practice on Nov. 12. Brown is excited about his team’s show of strength in pre-season practice.

“I am very pleased with how we have done so far,” said Brown before the game. “We played

in a jamboree at Garfield High School last Saturday. We com-peted against Clover Park and Mount Rainier High School. We outscored both teams in a ten-minute session against each of the two schools.”

Brown is happy to see the return of Dawn, who took time away from football to focus on basketball.

“He was all-league Wesco last year,” said Brown. “We also have senior AJ Passalaqua and juniors Noah Jones, Kaleb Bryson, Bradey Brummel and Gavin Smoke.”

Overall, the team is getting ready for the season and starting it off right with their victory over the Tomahawks.

“I love this group’s passion for basketball, competition, and this team and program,” said Brown. “I can’t say enough good about these young men. They not only are strong basketball players, they are excellent young men.”

The Eagles followed up their win over M-P, with a 61-48 vic-tory over Everett High School on Thursday, Nov. 29, and another win over Marysville Getchell on Friday, Nov. 30. They now have a 3-0 overall record for the sea-son.

LAKEWOOD — This December will mark a number of firsts for the Lakewood High School Drama group — their first holiday play, which is also their first staging of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the first time that many of the high school actors have worked with younger actors onstage, and some unique casting for a few of the main characters.

“It’s a Wonderful Life” takes to the LHS stage at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7, and Saturday, Dec. 8, as well as on the following Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14-15, with nearly two dozen high school actors, two middle school actors and two elementary school actors, after LHS Drama teacher Rebecca White was inspired last spring to put on something appropriate for the winter festivities that could also accommodate the larger cast size that’s typical of the school’s fall and winter plays. In order to meet the ratio of male to female actors, however, some characters got notice-able makeovers.

While junior Bryce Shepard and senior Alethea Cody are playing George and Mary Bailey, fellow senior Brianna Winegar is playing wheelchair-bound rich villain Mr. Potter as “Ms. Potter,” just as junior Kaley Trapp plays the angel

Clarence as “Clarisse.”“She’s obviously younger

than Lionel Barrymore, but I also try to play her more classy and sneaky,” Winegar said of her role. “She doesn’t just straight-up hate everyone else, but she wants to own every-thing they have.”

To distinguish Ms. Potter visually, Winegar dons more elegant-looking furs.

Trapp likewise acknowl-edged that Clarisse is much younger than Clarence, but she still plays the charac-ter as old enough to be matronly, albeit in an inten-tionally comic fashion.

While Shepard and Cody’s takes on George and Mary are not nearly as far removed from the original versions of the characters, the young actors still felt compelled to create their own takes, rather than merely imitating Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed.

“I think Bryce plays George as more confused, while Jimmy Stewart was more shocked,” White said. “With Bryce, there’s always this, ‘What’s going on?’”

Cody enjoyed working with the younger actors who play George and Mary’s children, which includes Cody’s younger sister, and she found the coordina-tion of the “Buffalo Gals” sequence to be challenging yet rewarding.

“Donna Reed’s Mary is more sweet and lets other people influence her a bit

more,” Cody said. “I try to make Mary a bit stronger and more influential over others.”

“The biggest challenge for me is just being on the stage almost non-stop for two hours,” Shepard said of his role. “That’s also the fun part, though.”

While Winegar’s block-ing in her wheelchair has posed some problems, her

enthusiasm for finally play-ing a villain has made it all worthwhile to her.

The bustling cast has been rehearsing since the first week of October, after auditions late in September, and the actors have found themselves averaging a dozen hours of work a week

on the play, whose exten-sive set design includes a house, a bridge, an office, a porch and a cemetery.

“I’ve always loved the movie, so it just seemed natural to bring it to life,” White said.

The Saturday, Dec. 15, showing will be a dinner

theater. General admis-sion is $7, while seniors, children aged 3-10 years and students with ASB will pay $5. Children aged 2 years and younger will be admitted for free. For more information, email White at [email protected].


O.D. Burright, born on March 12, 1933 in Logan County, Oklahoma, was the third of four siblings; one brother and two sisters of Orrin and Mabel Burright. In 1940 the Burright family moved to Portland, Oregon from Oklahoma. In 1962 O.D. moved his family to Marysville, Washington just off of Firetrail Road.

During a routine physical examination in 2000 O.D. was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. After being diagnosed and facing a prognosis of only a few months to live, O.D. got a second opinion, underwent chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant that his oncologist recommended. But, in time, realizing that only traditional treatments could not stave off the cancer; he and his son did extensive

research and developed a recipe for survival -- dietary changes, an exercise regimen, and better management of stress, to weaken the cancer. He beat the odds of having a disease that, for many other people, has taken their lives much earlier. He fought a courageous 12 ½ -year battle against cancer before it finally claimed him at home on Monday, November 26th in Vancouver, Washington.

“He was such an amazing guy,” said his son, Mark. “He was so caring and that came

across with other cancer patients and the cancer community. He was one of those healing individuals that are almost impossible to be in a room with and not come away without feeling better. He had an amazing impact on people”.

He loved his 1969 Chevy Impala, NASCAR, and was Greg Biffle’s biggest fan. Watching Greg race his #16 the past 12 years was an important part of O.D.’s therapy. He never missed a race.

O.D is survived by his wife of 60 years, Darlene, a sister Illa Faye, his son, Mark, a grandson Jeffrey, and a great grandson, Tigran.

Contributions in O.D.’s memory may be given to Help4Cancer.net at 1400 NE 136th Avenue, Vancouver, WA. 98684.
