Providence opens 12-story medical tower BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

EVERETT — It boasts 79 private treatment rooms which hospital officials estimate will be just enough to keep up with the increased demand that they say has already given the Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett the busiest ER in the state. Providence’s recently completed 12-story, $460 million Marshall and Katherine Cymbaluk Medical Tower opened on June 14 and is expected to serve close to

120,000 patients within the next year, according to Providence Public Relations Manager Cheri Russum. She pointed out that this represents an increase from the roughly 113,000 patients Providence served last year, but its new tower has plenty of local staff to serve them. “We have 537 employees living in Marysville,” said Russum, who added that 315 of their employees reside in Arlington. “Our EMS bay will probably be receiving about 70 emergency vehicles a day. We’ve gone from two

to four trauma rooms which are located right close to the x-ray machine and CT scanner. That shaves minutes off our care, since those machines are usually on another floor.” Russum touted the trauma room’s patient-centric features, from aesthetics such as teddy bears and lavender color schemes, to doors which open between the trauma rooms to allow patients to see each other, in instances when the patients know each other and want to be able to SEE TOWER, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — Olympic Avenue was choked with cars on June 11, but it wasn’t a traffic jam. Rather than honking their horns or simmering in exhaust fumes, visitors to downtown Arlington that day strolled along the street and complimented one another on their stylized and polished vehicles at the 12th annual Old Town Show ‘N Shine Car Show. Event Chair Marilyn Bullock estimated that this year’s show drew more than 300 entrants, beating last year’s count of 297, but she couldn’t even begin to guess at how many attendees showed up that day. “We have a contingent from Canada that comes down every year, and the furthest away that any of our

TOWER FROM PAGE 1 check each other’s condition. The tower has increased Providence’s emergency department from its previous 50 rooms, which Russum noted was intended to prevent patients being put in beds in hallways. “We’re the busiest ER in the state, so we often need to triage patients right away,” Russum said. “We can’t have them waiting.” Major rooms also feature 1,000-pound capacity patient lifts, designed to protect both patients and caregivers, so that patients don’t risk being

dropped and caregivers can avoid doing damage to their backs. Electronic door-opening hand-wave sensors were installed to prevent potential infections from spreading. Of the tower’s $60 million in medical equipment, more than $20 million has been invested in diagnostic imaging equipment, including two MRI scanning machines and four CT scanners. The post-anesthetic care unit has 26 beds built in, while the surgery department includes a hybrid operating room. “Vascular services require small incisions to do things like placing catheters into veins,” Russum said. “Just in case something goes wrong

and the patient needs surgery, they can get it right there. We have huge spaces not only because our imagining equipment takes up so much room, but also because we’re trying to accommodate the equipment of the future, so we won’t have to tear out walls in the years to come.” Just as the emergency department takes up its own floor, so too are two floors each of the tower devoted to surgical/interventional procedures and to the 48 patient rooms dedicated to intensive care, including six dialysis stations. Each of the top three floors includes 56 patient rooms for medical and post-surgical patients.

He’s only taken Lorraine to two car shows this year, after completing his work on the car six months ago. Although his job as an aerospace fabricator has allowed him to use scrap materials to shave some costs off his work, he laughed as he admitted that he didn’t even want to think about how much he’s spent on customizing the car since 2006. “I couldn’t put a price on this,” Fletcher said. “There’s not another one like it in the whole world.” Marysville’s Don McCann was only willing to divulge that he’d spent $500 to purchase his 1933 Ford ice truck 25 years ago, plus $1,000 that he spent on oak for its back end. Unlike some vehicle restorers, he didn’t even have any nostalgic connection to the make and model of his vehicle, but he treasures the history that he and his family have built up with his old rig.

“We just saw it sitting on Highway 41 on the way to Napa Valley,” McCann said. “The owner didn’t want to keep it, so we took it off his hands.” McCann’s wife Teri suggested to him that he inquire about acquiring the truck, and Don credited her with helping him get it into shape. The photos on display in front of the truck included their daughter Erin as a girl, since she contributed her labor as well. Erin’s name appears in a shamrock on the truck, and she’s since grown up into a 28-year-old journeyman electrician. “I guess it just takes me back to a simpler time,” Don McCann said. “Plus, a lot of great people own older cars.” “It’s not just about showing off their cars,” Bullock said. “There’s a real sense of community here, like a family reunion.

Local candidates file to run in 2011 election

Arlington’s mayor, two Marysville City Council members will not seek re-election

ARLINGTON — Six candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring for the Arlington mayor’s race, in the wake of news that Margaret Larson will not be seeking a third term in office. At the start of candidate filing week on June 6, the 73-year-old incumbent noted that, between her two terms and her late husband John Larson’s three terms, the Larsons have had close to 19 years in the Arlington mayor’s office between them. “Mayor Margaret,” as she’s known by many of the city’s citizens, shared her wishes to spend more time with her family and to travel more, but she promised that she would remain both an Arlington resident and an active participant in its City Council meetings, albeit as a citizen rather than as an elected official. Larson was drafted to run for Arlington mayor in 2003 and expressed pride in her tenure since then, during which the city has expanded its sewer plant, taken on a storm water wetlands project, rehabilitated Olympic Avenue in its downtown, and forged partnerships with the Arlington School District, the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, and the Arlington Arts Council, as well as youth groups and a number of other organizations. Larson believes these moves have bettered the city’s public facilities and quality of life. As of June 6, Barbara Tolbert, Craig Christianson, Debora Nelson, and Arlington City Council member and Mayor Pro Tem Steve Baker had filed for the Arlington mayor’s office. Tolbert currently serves as executive director of the Arlington Fly-In and a member of the city’s Airport Commission and its Economic Development and Lodging Tax Advisory committees. Kari Ilonummi, who had challenged City Council

member Scott Solla for his seat two years ago, filed for the mayor’s race on June 8, while Carsten Mullin, a member of the city’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission and Tree Board, filed on June 10. Incumbent Arlington City Council members Marilyn Oertle and Dick Butner are running unopposed for their positions, while fellow incumbent Sally Lien is being challenged for Arlington City Council Position 4 by Randy Tendering. Arlington Fire Chief Jim Rankin and Ken Klein are running for the At Large Council position in which Linda Byrnes currently serves. Byrnes did not file to run for a second term in that position. In the Arlington School Board race, incumbent Jeff Huleatt is being challenged by Jerry Twitchell for Director District 1, while fellow incumbents Jim Weiss and Kay Duskin are running unopposed for their seats.

Lakewood Lakewood School Board incumbents Kelly Allen, Gregory Jensen and Larry Bean are all likewise running unopposed for their seats.

Marysville With majorities of both the Marysville City Council and the Marysville School Board, as well as Marysville’s Mayor, up for grabs this year, candidates began filing last week to run in the 2011 election. Candidates wanting to run can file through Friday. Two candidates have filed to run for Marysville’s mayor, including the incumbent Jon Nehring, who was appointed when former-mayor Dennis Kendall stepped down, and Kelly Wright. Six people have, as of June 10, filed to run for the four seats on the Marysville City Council which will appear on the ballot. Michael Stevens has filed to run for Position 4, a seat which he currently holds since being appointed by the Council to fill the vacancy left when thenCouncil member Nehring was appointed mayor.

Rob Toyer and Scott Allen have filed for Position 5. Stephen Muller and Roger Hoen have filed to run for Position 6 and incumbent Carmen Rasmussen has filed to run for Position 7. Current City Council members John Soriano and Lee Phillips did not file for re-election. The Marysville School District has four Director seats that will be up for election this year. Incumbent Cindy Erickson has filed to run in District 2. Pete Lundberg, Rod Rieger, Michael Hansen and Darci Becker have filed for District 3. Wendy Fryberg has filed for District 4 and Tom Albright has filed for District 5, a seat he has held since being appointed to the board.

IN OUR VIEW

My favorite time of the year T

his is one of my favorite times of the year. Over the next month there are several SCOTT FRANK local annual celebrations that are all MANAGING packed with a diversity of events in EDITOR which every family can find something they will enjoy. While Arlington’s Fourth of July Celebration, Fly-In and Street Fair are slated for early-July, Marysville’s Strawberry Festival is already underway. The events of the 80th Annual Strawberry Festival started June 11 with the Berry Run and the popular Kids’ Party in the Park. Those were followed by the Fashion Show on June 14. But there’s still a lot of events remaining and plenty of family fun to be had. The Carnival opens on Thursday, June 16 and runs through June 19, at the Marysville Middle School. Also on Thursday is the Talent Show at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Auditorium, starting at 6:30 p.m. Friday showcases one of my favorite events to watch, the Trike Race, which begins at 7 p.m. at Asbery Field, and features a variety of obstacles including a jello pit. Also on Friday, the Market opens at Asbery Field at 2 p.m. The Market runs through June 19. There you’ll find more than 90 vendors. In addition, the Marysville Community Food Bank will have collection barrels set throughout the Market so don’t forget to take a donation of nonperishable food. Saturday at Asbery Field features a variety of events including the Emerald City Car Club Show, free entertainment, the Market and the ever-popular Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest. Also on Saturday is the Kiddies Parade which begins at 6 p.m. on State Avenue. That’s followed by the Grand Parade down State Avenue beginning at 7:30 p.m., and the fireworks follow at 10 p.m. These events wouldn’t take place without a lot of planning and hard work so we shouldn’t forget to thank Maryfest and all the volunteers for making the 80th Strawberry Festival such a great community event. We should also remember to thank all of the sponsors who helped make it possible.

Making do in this economy

ow much does it actually cost to keep one’s head above water in this economy? Studies show the cost of living in Marysville to be significantly higher than in Spokane or Walla Walla and planners who determine Washington’s poverty level fail to properly take this into account. This economy can be cruel if you’re not equipped to cope with it. In western movies, penniless cowboys dickered with stable-owners for beds in haylofts in turn for feeding animals and cleaning stalls. More recently, my wife’s family farm had four milkers’ houses. A milker’s modest pay-package included housing, utilities, dairy products, meat and garden plot. It was enough for the times. The frontier-town’s stable is long gone as are modest milkers’ houses and the simple needs of yesteryear. Manual labor jobs were decimated when backhoes replaced picks and shovels. Today, hundreds of carpenters with nailers and circular saws do the work thousands once did with hammers and hand-saws. A balance between work and reward that served society until the end the 1960s gave way to a technologydriven system that upped productivity while cutting at the labor force at every turn. The past era was characterized by a can-do economy rooted in rugged individualism. Loggers who founded Marysville couldn’t qualify for building loans because of the hazards of their work built homes a few boards at a time following each payday. No building permits, no inspection fees, no architects, no escrow. And no debt. More broadly, they had no storm-water-abatement tax, environmental impact statements, curb and gutter assessments or garbage collection bills. Marysville properties are perforated with old wells from the time when free water was taken from holes in the ground. Car insurance was optional, no smart phones

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

requiring data-packs, no deluxe TV packages, no casinos. It was a simpler and less costly time in so many ways. Take a look at today’s breadwinners in a family of four. Call them the Martins. Assume that, like many, the Martins had no education beyond high school. If mom and dad Martin work a total of 80 hours per week at $10 per hour they gross a combined $800. That yields an after-deductions residue of about $600 which gives them something like $2,400 per month to work with. Before the Martins can think of buying one discretionary cup of coffee at McDonald’s they have to cover monthly expenses. Rent for their average two-bedroom Marysville apartment costs $1,000 per month. Keeping a 20 year-old clunker fueled, repaired and running costs $300 per month. They spend another $100 per week at Winco for food and $75 for non-food items. Utilities, gas, TV and telephone (no land-line) sets them back $200. We’re up to $2,200 per month now. Renter’s insurance, car liability insurance, prescriptions, clothing, household supplies, school fees, birthday presents, bicycles, personal care and incidentals easily take care of the rest. Notice that there’s nothing left to cover medical costs and that if Mr. and Mrs. Martin work at different sites, they have but one car. We haven’t included $9.99 a month for Netflix which is the cheapest entertainment available. Nor is there a spending-money allowance for the kids. Movies are out. Even casual entertaining fare like chips and salsa might not fit into the $400 per month food budget. What to do? The Martins have three choices if there’s too much

month left at the end of the money: Work second jobs, use a credit card or take a payday loan. Of course exercising two of those puts them on a slippery slope. While rich folks enjoy protection from usurious loan rates, Washington’s tax code sticks it to the poor. To be fair, much of the seeming unfairness is because of real risks involved in lending to people without assets. You may have noticed an explosion of new payday loan offices lining State Avenue. Banks are into it, too. Aside from banks, borrowers have eight store-front check-cashers to choose from. Add the on-line loan outfits and the number serving Marysville rises to forty-two. Watch out, though. Under the law it can cost $10 to $35 up-front to get an advance of $100. Retail installment credit is another example of how financial practices prey on the poor: Interest on retail installment debts (Kohl’s or Target cards, etc.) isn’t limited by Washington’s usury laws. Credit card issuers complying with RCW 63.14.167 are exempted from interest limits which is why they can charge outrageous rates. Second, any licensed check-casher with a small-loan endorsement is allowed to exceed the maximum rate allowable under usury law for loans of $700 or less. (RCW 31.45.030). The deck is stacked against Marysville’s unemployed and underemployed and it seems that the nation’s power brokers like it that way. What they fail to see is that by undercutting hope and opportunity they weaken the very fabric of the nation. So long as leaders of the financial sector dictate lending-laws, the poor will be victimized and society will have to pick up the pieces. The result is another example of, “Privatize profit and socialize loss.” Comments may be sent to rgraef@ frontier.com.

A look at the North County Economic Summit T

he cities of Marysville, Arlington and the Tulalip Tribes last month held a North Snohomish Economic Summit at Tulalip Resort to reinforce our message to prospective business ventures that our governments are working collaboratively to create a more prosperous and thriving future for our businesses and families. The summit concentrated on sharing the assets that give the North Snohomish County a competitive edge in attracting new business investment as the economy revives and employment rates rebound. Myself, Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon, Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson and key staff members provided plenty of local examples of joint planning on land use, transportation, infrastructure and economic development strategy. Our

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

commitment to partnerships creates the kind of political and economic environment that can help sway a major employer’s decision on where to build or relocate. Foremost is the area’s abundant availability of commercial, industrial and business park acreage. Marysville and Arlington combined have more than 3,250 acres of manufacturing and light industrial-zoned land clustered within the Smokey Point area (1000-plus) and the Arlington Airport (2,251 acres). With speculation that Boeing may build a manufac-

turing “supersite” for its next generation 737, with new plane assembly at Boeing’s Everett plant a possibility, the acreage available in north Marysville and Arlington would be a solid candidate for a supplier supersite. The 675-acre Smokey Point Master Plan area in particular was a frontrunner for a proposed NASCAR speedway and a leading contender for a University of Washington branch campus. While these projects didn’t materialize, they point to the value that this property along Interstate 5 holds for future corporate investment, which will only become more attractive over time. The Smokey Point Master Plan area is Marysville’s key future employment center. The area represents the largest developable concentration of commercial and lightindustrial-zoned land along

I-5 from the U.S.-Canadian border south to OlympiaLacey. The area is master planned with the potential to create 10,000 jobs in aerospace, manufacturing, hightech and other light industry. Two I-5 interchanges at 116th and 172nd provide access to the master plan area, and the 156th Street overcrossing, funded through a partnership of the city and property owners, will begin construction this summer to provide even better access between Lakewood and the Smokey Point area. The latter two projects both serve as examples of transportation improvements that occurred through partnerships with the Tribes and Arlington, respectively, and Marysville will continue to work with lead agency Tulalip to expand 116th to a Single Point Urban Interchange as the next phase of that project.

Mayor’s group monthly meetings, and staff interact in their areas of expertise. ■ Marysville as the “hub of opportunity” and fullservice city ideally situated on I-5, with easy ground, rail, air and waterway access to major employment centers in Snohomish and King counties. The second-largest city in Snohomish County (pop. 60,020), Marysville offers a well-trained workforce; expedited, streamlined permitting process; and favorable corporate tax structure – no city B&O tax, low retails sales tax (8.6 percent) and property tax rates. ■ Responsive government leadership that takes into account the full gamut of traits that corporate citizens look for, from ease of getting a venture off the ground, to the quality of life considerations that matter most to employees and their families. We recognize that when a company becomes a corporate citizen, it should expect consistency in rules and regulations that apply to the business community. It is rightfully a deciding factor in any company’s decision to move. Opportunities exist in Marysville, Tulalip and Arlington. This is a place where jobs are welcome, where taxes are low, and regulations are predictable. As partners in creating a diverse economic climate conducive to helping businesses succeed, we have come a long way. The economic summit provided a great forum for tying it all together.

The Tulalip Tribes’ land inventory includes a 2,000acre “shovel-ready” parcel with roads in place and available utilities. The Tribes just recently announced the great news of a deal reached to build a 110-square-foot Cabela’s sporting goods store north of Home Depot in Quil Ceda Village. Cabela’s presence will bring more jobs to our area and spur further business growth that compliments the new store. During the economic summit, we also talked about another “hot spot” in Marysville primed for new corporate investment along I-5: the downtown area and Ebey Waterfront. Redevelopment remains the focus of our long-term intentions to create a more park-like, pedestrian-friendly environment downtown, incorporating an estuary trail, managing storm water and improving streetscapes, while blending high-rise housing with a mix of new retail and office space. We are working diligently to attract public and private sector investment to make these plans a reality. Marysville has a great story to tell. It is built around three major themes: ■ Our focus on partnerships and collaboration that are central to how we do business. We have forged strong relationships with the Tulalip Tribes; Snohomish County; and the cities of Arlington, Everett, Lake Stevens and other neighboring cities.

Treadmill marathons raise funds for charity BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — Arlington and Lakewood

high school teachers worked up a sweat to raise funds for some charitable causes. At AHS, it was called

the “Murrathon” in honor of coach Jon Murray, while at LHS, it was called the “Marathon Powered by

Sowards,” in honor of coach Jeff Sowards, but in both cases, the two teachers ran the distance of a marathon on treadmills at their respective schools on the morning of June 3. Although both Murray and Sowards are experienced runners, neither had ever gone as far as 26 miles in a single stretch — Murray had reached 22 miles previously, while Sowards had gotten as far as 20 miles — so they increased their regular regimen of running to make sure they could complete their goal. Although Murray was joined by fellow AHS teachers Scott Moberly, Becca Harkavy, Sean Cunningham and Mike Liles on a second treadmill, Cunningham only ran half a marathon, while the other three teachers contributed one to three miles each. Murray completed his marathon in three hours and nine minutes, while Sowards, who had started slightly earlier, finished it in three hours and 29 minutes. According to AHS ASB, Leadership and Link Crew Advisor Ben Ballew, Murray stopped only once to stretch his hamstrings, but then promptly resumed his pace. “I paced myself at about eight minutes a mile,” said Sowards, who kept in contact with Murray via Skype during their run. In both cases, their marathons were perfectly timed with their schools’ lunches. “The entire school was in transition between classes and was able to watch [Murray’s] final steps,” Ballew said. “It was an epic climax. The sound was deafening, and it was probably the most united I have seen the school in my four years at AHS. It was absolutely incredible.” While the students of LHS helped Sowards raise $1,500 for the Seattle Children’s Hospital, the students of AHS raised $4,000 for the Soles for Souls and Kids Kloset charities. Murray and fellow AHS science teacher Deanna Vaughan raised $1,500 prior to the Murrathon, which generated another $1,500 through the sales of Murrathon T-shirts, before the $1,000 in donations made on the day of the event. “My colleagues covered all of my classes that morning for free, which is huge,” Sowards said. “We had great support from the ASB officers and other students.

The energy leading into this event, and on the day of, are things that I will never forget.” Murray and Sowards came up with the idea for this event during one of their runs together six weeks ago, and they praised not only their schools but their communities as a whole

for taking their message of helping others to heart. The AHS ASB students designed a great deal of the ad campaign for the Murrathon and did research to select what they considered the most appropriate charities, while the LHS leadership class coordinated the details of the Marathon Powered by Sowards. “I’d never done anything like this before, but I liked the idea of demonstrating our skills to inspire others to make a difference,” Sowards said. “Coach Sowards and I wanted to show the kids that you can use your gifts to serve others,” Murray said. “Arlington is a very special community of loving and giving people, and that shows up in the attitudes of the kids and staff at Arlington High School.”

Albright steps down as pastor of Marysville United Methodist Church BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — As so many Sunday services are, it was a day of reflection, celebration, laughter and remembrance for the congregation of the Marysville United Methodist Church. What made June 12 different from any other Sunday service at the church for the past 11 years was that it would be Dr. Tom Albright’s last one as pastor. Although Albright assured the congregation that he planned to remain a member of the Marysville community, up to and including running for office in his current seat on the Marysville School District Board of Directors, he felt the time had come to conclude his 39 years as a pastor throughout the state of Washington. “I was drawn to the ministry because I so often found myself in leadership roles when I hadn’t intended to be,” said Albright, a tall, stout gentleman whose gray hair contrasts his boyish face. “I see a pastor as serving four roles; a priestly officer of the church, a pastoral shepherd

caring for his flock, a prophetic role of interpreting the word of the Lord, and a leader. I took that leadership role seriously not only within the church, but also in the broader community.” Albright is glad to have been able to conduct church mission trips to Mexico, Nicaragua, Haiti, Kenya and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, many of which a number of the parishioners at his June 12 service recalled almost as vividly as he did. Just as he already had an entry point into the Marysville community, through his wife teaching there, before he became the Marysville United Methodist Church’s pastor, so too has his ongoing work in Kenya opened the door for his new career as the U.S. director of fundraising for the Kenya Methodist University. “Moving to Marysville felt like going back to Bellingham, where I’d grown up,” Albright said. “In a small town, you can’t help but know a lot of people, and as I’ve become active in Rotary and the School Board and as the police chaplain, I’ve appreciated leading people

toward being able to live in their faith.” In addition to his increasingly hectic schedule on the Marysville School Board and on behalf of the Kenya Methodist University, Albright also felt his church was in a good place for him to leave it in the hands of a new pastor. “This church is very strong,” Albright said. “I will miss its support, and the personal relationships I’ve developed with hundreds of people on a weekly basis. The wonderful challenge of preaching is trying to make sense out of life for others.” Parishioners both young and old echoed Albright’s sentiments, saying they’d miss their former pastor for the year that he’ll be absent from the church, to allow its incoming pastor, Dr. Gloria Kymn, to develop her own bond with the congregation. “He always had something to teach, even if it wasn’t what he originally proposed,” laughed Jack Lybyer, a 10-year member of the church. “He’s a learned man, but he can communicate it in ways that I can understand.” Jim Johnson, a fellow “Top

Don Whitfield and Larry Trivett, Albright’s fellow Rotarians and 25- and 35-year members of the church respectively, likewise lauded his community activism, both locally and globally. “Any church has its good times and its bad times,” Trivett said. “Tom’s time was a very good time for this church.” “He was the realest pastor

I’ve ever met,” said 17-yearold Sam Ward, who’s been coming to the Marysville United Methodist Church since he was a small child. Now much bigger, he laughed as he recalled some goodnatured ribbing Albright had given him. “I remember going to this retreat to become a counselor, and I said to Tom, ‘How am I supposed to be in charge of kids who are older then me?’ He told me, ‘Well, at least they won’t outweigh you.’” Vicki Evensen has served at the Marysville United

Methodist Church for 25 years and seen five pastors come and go in that time. As Albright’s assistant, she not only learned from him, but found him refreshingly consistent. “He wasn’t a pastor who had a Sunday face and a restof-the-week face,” Evensen said. “No matter when or where you met Tom, he was always Tom, which was very comforting. He’s prepared us very well for this transition, and as much as we’ll miss him, we’re looking forward to our new pastor.”

Students earn honors in Citizen Essay Contest BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Two seventh-grade students at Haller Middle School recently won second and third place in their category for the 13th annual World Citizen Essay Contest. The World Affairs Council of Seattle conducts the contest each year for Washington state students in grades 3-12, with the goal of promoting discussion among students, teachers, families and community members about the ways that individuals can effect positive change in the global community. For the 60th anniversary of the World Affairs Council, it asked students to identify a Puget Sound-based innova-

tion from the past 60 years that has left its mark around the world, and to explain how and why these innovations had an impact beyond the United States. These impacts could be related to the arts, sports, music, popular culture, technology, civic action, global health, education and manufacturing. Haller Middle School seventh-grade students Zachary Cushman’s “Achievements in Ultra Rice” essay and Matthew Taylor’s “Sightlife” essay were among the essays that were judged based on the strength and merits of their arguments, as well as their organizational structure and attention to detail, including grammar, spelling and conventions.

were encouraged to be creative in selecting their topics. Cushman won second place and Taylor won third place for the sixth- to eighth-grade category of the essay contest. Both Cushman and Taylor admitted to being almost totally unfamiliar with their subjects before they started, but once they started researching malnutrition and blindness, the problems addressed by the innovations they chose to cover for their respective essays, they were struck by how widespread those problems are. “I didn’t used to think about how hard it is to survive without proper nutrients,” said Cushman, who wrote about “Ultra Rice,” the creation of father-and-son

team James and Duffy Cox of Bellingham, Wash., that contains micronutrients to offset malnutrition in infants and children. “It’s humbling to realize how much we have here, versus what other people in the world have. We shouldn’t be so wasteful of it.” “I was surprised by how widespread blindness is in underdeveloped countries,” said Taylor, who wrote about SightLife, a Whatcom County nonprofit organization that has become one of the largest eye banks in the world to combat cornea blindness. “It’s pretty easy to support them. For only $120, you can cure someone’s blindness. That’s only the cost of a nice hotel room,

Marysville mom wants girls to ‘Be Prepared Period’ BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — What’s become an online business started out when Marysville’s Tara Bruley realized that she could use a special sort of support as the mom to a teenage girl. “When she came of age, I wanted something that would prepare her for the changes to come in her body, but that wouldn’t gross her out,” Bruley said of her daughter’s first period. “I wanted to give her something that celebrated this part of her growing up, but I couldn’t find that, and neither could the other parents I know.” This unserved need inspired Bruley to put together kits of feminine hygiene products, complete with guides for both girls and their parents on those girls’ first periods. “I wanted to give families something they could use if

they didn’t feel comfortable having that conversation, but also something they could use after they’d had that conversation,” Bruley said. “I wanted it to be a guide for parents who might not be sure how to approach that subject, but also a resource for girls to go back to after they’d talked.” In addition to these separate informational materials targeted toward parents and their daughters, each “Be Prepared Period Kit” also includes a sequined travel bag for storing supplies when girls are away from home, a heat patch for cramps, four individually wrapped pads with wings, two panty-liners, two Always feminine wipes and a Safe Spot keychain to store medicine or jewelry, all packaged in a gift box. Since s t ar t i ng BePreparedPeriod.com with this kit, Bruley has branched out to provide a “Period Pack To Go” for both girls and adult

lthough it may seem that chiropractors primarily are concerned with back and disc pain cases, their focus is not limited to these problems. Nerve interference at any point at which nerve roots emerge from the spinal column can adversely affect the health and function of any organ of the body served by these nerves. It follows, then, that removal of nerve interference at various points in the spinal column may help improve organic conditions such as headache, asthma, and high blood pressure. There are undeniably other factors that influence disease, including overexertion, poor diet, and stress. Chiropractors take these factors (as well as nerve interference) into account when addressing back pain and other problems affecting the rest of the body.

Two Arlington golfers earn All-Wesco honors

Arlington’s Anthony Allen was named to the All-Wesco FirstTeam.

ARLINGTON — Anthony Allen picked up a golf club when he was 8 years old. Jack Lindley took his first swing when he was in eighth grade. Although the Arlington High golfers started out differently, they finished the high school season as the top two players respectively on the Eagles’ golf team. In fact, their performance in 2011 earned them AllWesco recognition. Allen made First Team and Lindley earned Second Team honors. For Allen, he took the announcement in stride — as if he’s been there, done that, which he has. As for Lindley, the junior didn’t even know he’d made the team.

“I don’t know why I made it,” Lindley said. “Honestly I didn’t even know. I didn’t have a great season, but it’s an honor.” As just a sophomore, Allen made his second trip to the Class 4A State Championship in as many seasons. He finished tied for 21st after posting rounds of 79 and 74 on the par72 Qualchan Golf Course located in Spokane. “I was feeling really good going into state,” Allen said. “I was hitting the ball better than I have all year. But my putting was horrible. My ball striking was good, but my putting just wasn’t there.” Although competing at the state championship may be intimidating for some, SEE GOLF, PAGE 11

Milless sparkles on the diamond AHS graduate named EvCC Female Athlete of the Year BY CHRIS TRUJILLO ctrujillo@arlingtontimes.com

EVERETT — After two superstar softball seasons at Everett Community College, Arlington High School graduate Allie Milless had no intentions on playing out the rest of her collegiate career at a four-year school. And it wasn’t for a lack of talent, or because of sketchy grades. Truth is, she has the talent of two players and the grades that skew the classroom curve. “I came into the season knowing I wasn’t going to play next year,” she said. “I was going to go hard this year, pitch well and not play next year.” But then, suddenly, that changed. “Last week (late May) and out of the blue I decided I wanted to keep playing,” Milless said. “I said to myself ‘I need to keep playing.’ So, I told coach (Randy Smith) that. He has done a great job helping me to know what

my options are.” Her options were simple — send out a few letters, 20 to be exact, and sit and wait. Except she didn’t have to wait too long. She soon heard back from most of the schools she contacted. After sifting through the good and the not-sogood offers, Milless slimmed down her list to two schools, Northwest Christian University in Eugene, Ore. and Jamestown University in North Dakota. “I heard from Northwest that same day I emailed them,” Milless said. “The coach there has been very interested. He calls just about every day to find out how I am doing. I like Northwest a lot — the area, the campus and their field.” It comes as no surprise why Milless is receiving such prompt and positive attention. In late May she was named the Everett Community College Female Athlete of the Year. She won the EvCC Academic Leader award and she earned a spot on the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges All-Tournament Team for pitching. Everett finished second at

“It was so random. I was very proud and happy to know that I was selected.” Allie Milless, EvCC Female Athlete of the Year the tournament on May 23. Milless won five of seven games and had a combined 41 strikeouts. Her sterling 3.79 grade-point average earned her the distinguished Academic Leader award. “It was so random,” Milless said about being named female athlete of the year. “I was very proud and happy to know I was selected. We had a big dinner and then I had to get up on the stage and say a few words. I was freaked because I am horrible when it comes to public speaking.” Although she has yet to choose a school, Milless is leaning toward Northwest University. The small D-II school has about 600 students, half of whom are athletes, according to Milless. “After going to Oregon, I was really impressed with the school and the coaches,” she said. “It is very small, and I really like that. We met the admission advisers and they were super nice.”

Coaches from Jamestown University flew from North Dakota to watch Milless play in the NWAACC tournament, where she wowed them by pitching five games without showing any signs of fatigue, just pure guts and determination. “They (Jamestown coaches) don’t usually recruit transfer students. They like to have them as freshmen,” Milless said. “The school (Jamestown) is basically the same as the school in Oregon, it’s just further away and has more people.” Other schools to have contacted Milless include George Fox (Newberg, Ore.), St. Martins (Lacey, Wash.), and University of Puget Sound in Seattle. “Everything is up in the air,” Milless said. “Just because I am leaning toward the Oregon school that doesn’t mean I am going there. I want to decide by end of June.”

Allen shot a season-low 70 this past April at Stanwood’s Kayak Golf Course. “My season average was 73 or 74,” he said. “So, I was pretty happy shooting 70 on a difficult course.” As for Lindley, he made the high school districts, but failed to qualify for the state tournament. “I played horribly,” Lindley said. “I just blew up. But I didn’t play much last summer, and golf is a mental sport and you need to play to get better.” Lindley, who shot his best round of 75 this past season at Gleneagle, will join Allen this summer on the WJGA tour, which begins June 23 and runs until the end of July.

Office Exercise: How to be fit at work

f you are desk-bound at work, it may be hard to exercise between the hours of nine and five. Then, after a long day at work, you may feel drained and may skip your exercise session in the evening. If so, consider making exercise a part of your daily routine. Getting exercise during your work day will help improve circulation, concentration, and may even help you feel energized enough to stop at the gym after work. Consider these creative ways to make exercising at the office part of your daily routine.

1. Commute by foot or on two wheels If possible, walk or bike to work. If you ride the bus, get off a few blocks early and walk to your office building. If you drive to work, park at the far end of the parking lot.

2. Take the stairs If you don’t work on the first floor, take the stairs instead of the elevator. In addition, when you need a bathroom break, climb the stairs to a bathroom several floors up or down from your own floor.

cubical to speak with them directly.

6. Keep exercise bands in your desk drawer

GOODING’S GUIDE TO FITNESS

Exercise bands are small, flexible, and can be stored in your desk drawer easily. During a phone conversation, or during a break from working, you could use them to do bicep curls, tricep extensions, overhead presses, and a multitude of other simple exercises.

ANGIE GOODING

3. Stretch while at your desk It only takes a few moments to stretch a muscle group. While waiting for your emails to download, stretch your neck by rolling your head from shoulder to shoulder, or while concentrating on a conference call, reach your arms toward the ceiling and bend from side to side.

7. Stand up

4. Use a fitness ball instead of an office chair

8. Start a lunchtime or after work walking group

Using a fitness ball as a chair will force you to use your core muscles to stabilize your trunk. In some cases, the fitness ball can also help improve posture, balance, and coordination.

Instead of sitting during a phone conversation, stand up or walk around your office, if possible. In addition, while standing and waiting for the copy machine to reproduce your copies, do calf raises.

Even if the walk is short, get out during lunchtime. Talk to other workers in your office about organizing a group to make it more fun, and to offer accountability.

9. Have meetings on the go

5. Avoid Emailing Coworkers Instead of emailing a coworker that works in your building, walk to their office or

For meetings where you do not need to take notes, need a computer, or easel, take a

walk while discussing the topic at hand.

10. Organize a company exercise competition

See if your coworkers are willing to participate in an exercise competition. I’d recommend making it collaborative and fun. For example, set a walking goal for your entire office. Perhaps, collaboratively, you and your co-workers could set a goal of walking 200 miles in a month. Have each person keep track of how many miles they walk, and once this office goal is met, celebrate with a healthy food-only potluck.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to get your job done, and work toward getting — or staying — fit. Just because you work in an office setting doesn’t mean you are forever attached to your chair on wheels. Please feel free to email me with other ideas for staying fit at the office, and also let me know how it goes. I enjoy hearing from readers.
