ARLINGTON — Gray skies and drizzling rain couldn’t keep visitors away from Pioneer Hall on Sept. 17, as the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum’s annual “Pioneer Days” attracted a large number of first-time attendees to the event, not only from neighboring Marysville and Everett further south, but also as far away as Moses Lake. Emma Rose Tanis, 5, came with her mom from Moses Lake to see her grandmother work the old-fashioned spinning wheel, but she wasn’t the only first-time attendee to be roped in by a family connection. Arlington’s Calvin Miller, 6, gave his arms a workout grinding wheat with his grandmother, Renee Miller, who was demonstrating how the wheat-grinder worked, while Calvin’s aunt, Jennifer Richards, showed other children how to churn homemade butter that they could spread on crackers. “It’s great for kids to be able to see how these things used to be made,” said Calvin’s mother, Amy Miller. “We don’t even think about where butter SEE PIONEER, PAGE 2

Council approves plan to fill vacancy BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council has approved a timeline for filling the seat left vacant by Council member Scott Solla’s passing. The city of Arlington is calculating their 90-day window to select a new Council member to serve out Solla’s term retroactive from Sept. 3 of this year, which would give the Council a deadline of Dec. 1 to appoint Solla’s successor. On Sept. 19, the Council unani-

mously approved a slightly revised version of the schedule that was proposed during its Sept. 12 workshop meeting, which sets a deadline of Nov. 10 at 5 p.m. for prospective candidates for Solla’s Council seat to apply for the position, after which the current Council members will review the applications during their Nov. 14 workshop meeting. Interviews of the candidates will be conducted during open public meetings on Nov. 16 and possibly Nov. 17 as well, depending on the number of applications received.

“With half an hour set aside for each candidate, the Council could interview as many as eight candidates each evening,” Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield said. From there, the Council will review the candidates during an executive session on Nov. 28, before deciding which candidate to select as Solla’s successor during an open session either that same evening or on Nov. 29. “Nov. 28 would normally be the Council’s workshop meeting, so

FINAL DAY! Thursday, September 22

they’ll convene a special meeting for their decision that will be open to the public,” Banfield said. Arlington City Attorney Steve Peiffle emphasized that the Arlington City Council must select a new Council member within the 90-day window, or else the right to appoint that City Council member will cede over to the Snohomish County Council. “We needed to schedule around the Nov. 8 general election and the Thanksgiving holiday,” said Peiffle, SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 2

PIONEER FROM PAGE 1 comes from today, other than the supermarket or the fridge.” Darrington’s Korbin Bryson, 5, also had a go at grinding wheat at his first “Pioneer Days,” but he much preferred the hands-on demonstration of how to milk a cow, complete with rubber udders under a flat wooden cow. Korbin’s mom, Megan Bryson, was more fascinated by the spinning wheel, since she’d never seen one being operated before. “I think we realize now how much harder things were back in the day,” Megan

Bryson said. Like Calvin Miller, 7-yearold Everett resident Andrew Hoff found that shake-splitting was his favorite activity at Pioneer Hall. “I really enjoy working with these little kids,” said Dick Prouty, who helped the children drive the blades through the wood. “I tell them that I’m a great-grandfather, so they have to help me do it. I can start it for them, but they have to finish it. Fortunately, once any kid has hit the blade in once or twice, they’re an expert at splitting shakes,” he laughed. “In 100 years, people will be able to look back on their work, just like we’re looking back on what the pio-

neers did 100 years before,” Prouty said. “There used to be shake mills everywhere around here.” The Smucker family of Arlington found plenty of activities for their children during their first “Pioneer Days,” as 7-year-old Patrick rode a scooter made from an orange crate with rollerskate wheels, while 5-yearold Eliza cranked some wet clothes through a wringer after having scrubbed them against a glass washboard. “We’ve only lived here for a year, but we saw this in the newspaper,” said John Smucker, their father. “We’re already very interested in homesteading, so it’s fascinating to see all these old

things, and how much work it took simply to survive back then.” Darrington’s Eliza Davies is 9 years old now, but she’s been attending the “Pioneer Days” for so many years that she was practically able to explain its exhibits to visitors herself. “When the pioneers wanted water, they couldn’t just turn on the faucet,” said Davies, while wearing

a bonnet and apron, and demonstrating how to operate an old-fashioned water pump. “They had to go to the well, dredge up a bucket of water and carry it back to the house. I’ve been coming here since I was 4 years old. I like it. There are lots of fun things to do with my family.” Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Association President Myrtle Rausch

agreed that this year’s “Pioneer Days” saw an above-average turnout from first-time attendees, a trend that she hopes to see continue on into the Pioneer Museum’s 100th anniversary picnic next spring. “The kids get an idea of what it was like to do chores without machines, when you had to wash your clothes and milk your own cows by hand,” Rausch said.

meeting on Nov. 15. Peiffle added that possibly extending the interviews into Nov. 17 would not only allow the Council to interview a larger number of candidates, but would also accommodate the schedules of candidates who would be unavailable on Nov. 16. Peiffle and Banfield agreed that applications are welcome to be dropped off at Arlington City Hall in person, or sent via postal mail or fax, but cannot be accepted by email. “We need physical copies,” Peiffle said. “In the interests

of fairness, we don’t want to risk someone emailing their application in before the deadline, but having it get caught by the spam filter.” To send your application by postal mail, address it “Attention: City Clerk” to Arlington City Hall, 238 N. Olympic Ave., Arlington, WA 98223-1337. To fax it in, dial 360-403-4605. Application forms are available on the city of Arlington’s web site at www.arlingtonwa. gov, at Arlington City Hall or by calling the Arlington mayor’s office at 360-403-3441.

who noted that some candidates for Solla’s seat might not know whether they’re available to apply for that seat before the results of the county’s general election are released. “Whoever is selected to fill this vacancy would serve out the remainder of the term, through the fall of 2013.” Banfield likewise noted that this schedule is designed to avoid a conflict with the city Planning Commission

AHS bands offer free car wash The Arlington High School Bands will hold their 16th annual Car Wash-a-thon Saturday, Oct. 1. The event will take place in front of the Arlington High School gymnasium at 18821 Crown Ridge Blvd. in Arlington from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Students collect donation pledges for the total number of cars they can wash that day, up to a maximum of 150. There is no charge for the car wash, but anyone wishing to make a donation may do so at the event.

Car washing stations will be set up in front of the gym with cars lined up in the parking lot for the next available station. Students will be assigned to wash cars, scrub wheels, fill soap buckets, rinse, and run fresh supplies to each station. The AHS Band students hold this event to raise funds for new band instruments and travel expenses. The kids really enjoy this positive team-building with fellow band members and their director John Grabowski.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tolbert for Arlington Mayor A turn of fate made us residents of Marysville and not Arlington. The annexation in 1997 eliminated our neighborhood from the approved boundary. Decisions made by the elected some years back left Smokey Point in two cities, Arlington and Marysville. Many residents and business people in the area feel the current leaders are still struggling with how to unite the areas of old town Arlington and Smokey Point, Arlington. We see an opportunity opening up to accomplish just that. It will be with the voters’ choice in the race for Arlington’s Mayor this fall. As business people in Arlington we support Barbara Tolbert for Mayor. Fresh ideas on economic growth and unification of all communities of Arlington need to be nurtured. The city is so much more than Olympic Avenue. Barbara Tolbert demonstrates her ability to unite people as the director of the Fly-In, a volunteer structure that pulls off a very large yearly event. From our vantage point she is what is needed at this time. Put Barbara Tolbert in the office of Mayor. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate. All Arlington citizens will be proud to have her as their representative and voice of the city. Bruce and Becky Foster Marysville

Support Nehring for Marysville Mayor As a 10-year resident of Marysville, I would like to

voice my support to retain Jon Nehring as Marysville’s Mayor. I have known Jon for eight years through his involvement in community programs. Jon truly cares about Marysville and the people that live here. Many times I have witnessed Jon speaking with people around town, listening respectfully to their concerns about the state of our city and its future. Jon is a leader who effectively communicates and takes action on behalf of the peoples he represents. Jon Nehring is a hard working civil servant with high integrity. He is committed to fiscal responsibility, and I believe that his vision will keep Marysville thriving and on the right track. Sarah Chism Marysville

Mayor Nehring finds solutions I am writing this letter to share with our community about the caring and compassion that Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring shows family caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones with disabilities. I took my vision and need for adult daycare homes in Marysville to Mayor Nehring and explained to him that family caregivers need time off without placing their loved one in an institution. Family caregivers are on the job 744 hours in a month. Their eyes might close, but their ears are wide open. We sat down at the table with the chief of police, the fire chief, the chaplain and staff and helped create standards for adult daycare homes. SEE LETTERS, PAGE 5

North from Marysville

like to keep an eye out for the dirt-cheap bookings my condo association offers for last-minute cancellations. So when one popped up at Whistler we tossed some things into a bag and headed north. North took us past that vacant stretch of developers’ dreams between I-5 and Old 99 where leveled and staked FOR SALE acreages sit like empty tables in a restaurant at 4 p.m. North took us across the Stilly bridge where upstream, a platoon of Humpy fishermen busily entangled each others’ lines. Veterans of this particular fishery have taken to calling it “Combat Fishing.” We continued up the hill to where an Angel of the Winds billboard beckoned hungry homebound Camano commuters with a, “Cheap and delicious dollar menu.” Familiar landmarks drifted by: The N.O.A.H. Animal Adoption and Spay/Neuter Center, that woodsy little pond so gorgeous that passing drivers can’t help envying the homeowners who look down upon it, a stretch of rough concrete that drowned out conversation and the disk in the Prius’ sound-system. The hawk that frequents a snag just before descent into the Skagit flats was absent. Had it discovered better hunting grounds or was it pasted to someone’s bumper for choosing a bad time to collect road-kill? Our first scheduled stop was Bellingham’s American Museum of Radio History, an attraction friends said I shouldn’t miss. At one hour into our trip we found our way to 1312 Bay St. and

parked in front of the museum’s ominously quiet building. This was at 11 on Monday morning. A placard at the door explained that the museum opens at noon but not on Mondays or Tuesdays. Oh well. It happened that Woods Coffee’s flagship outlet was straight across the street. Woods Coffee is to Bellingham as Starbucks is to the rest of the planet, but more so if that popular Bay Street bistro is any indication. Woods Coffee’s eleven shops might be emblematic of the funky-classy civic tone that has caused Bellingham to be rated one of America’s most livable small cities. We’ve had little reason to veer off I-5 to explore Bellingham since the death of my wife’s grandfather in 1976. Over thirtyfive years the town has come to echo more of Portland’s tone than that of Everett, Tacoma or Seattle. Part of that is surely the vibrancy associated with college towns. It has the feel of a mini-Boston, a place people are proud to call home. We breezed through Canadian customs at Blaine and travelled past vast under-glass acreages that provide us with Canadian Hothouse Tomatoes. Over the hump to the Fraser River delta and its blueberry ranches where

industrious clans of Asian farmers convert the profits from their labors into expansive mansions. Thanks to the recent Olympics, most arterials into Vancouver were re-done and the link from Blaine to Trans-Canada Highway 1 is no exception. TransCanada’s 20-mile construction zone though is the exception. We joined its teeming commute, jostling for space with a river of long-haul trucks headed for the port. At Hour-3 we pulled off at the Westview Safeway for provisions. Onward. With Vancouver behind, we marveled at what must be the world’s most costly highway improvement where cliff-hanging curves appear to dangle over empty space above stunning views of island-dotted Queen Charlotte Channel. After a Mickey-D coffee stop in Squamish, the Sea-to-Ski Highway took us to Whistler Village and Cascade Lodge, one of our oft-visited homes-awayfrom-home. The weather had turned iffy causing our venture up the Gondola and Peak Chair to yield dramatic glimpses of partially shrouded peaks and onrushing snow squalls. After a short hike we retreated downward to try the Peak to Peak gondola that connects the mountain lodges of Whistler and Blackcomb.

Budget needs greater accountability

everal factors are influencing our state’s tax collections outlook, which dictates the overall state budget. Unfortunately, the record $32.4 billion 2011-13 budget passed last May will likely be adjusted downward based on lagging tax collections due to continued job losses and hesitant consumers. To be sure, several national and state issues are contributing to the steep decline in state tax collections, but faltering accountability and oversight at state agencies and staggering state lawsuit liability also play key roles. The 2011-13 budget spent roughly $1.8 billion more than the 2009-11 spending plan, and included in the amount is $149.2 million for the state’s two-year lawsuit liability. The total lawsuit fund set aside for 2011 alone is $76 million — up from $52 million in 2010 and has nearly tripled in cost since the $26 million

LETTERS FROM PAGE 4 Never once was there a wall put up or barriers. This is a city that wants to help the people in the community to be able to live at home. Before this the only choices that families had for time off were expensive institutions. We have made these homes safe and affordable and they are overseen by our city. Even though my journey is over, someone else’s has just begun. Mayor Nehring saw my vision and together we worked to build a solution to long-term care problems. Mayor Nehring does not only look at today, he looks into the future to see what needs to be done. Not only does he look at the financial numbers for the city but also for the

set aside in 2006. This growth must be addressed as part of getting our fiscal house in order. To be clear, I strongly believe people who lost their lives and/ or lost their quality of life due to failures in state agency operations and protocol should be compensated. However, I think we would all rather see the nearly $150 million in funding spent on keeping community corrections officers in place, streamlining child protection services and addressing unsafe roadways to help prevent future tragedies. I am deeply concerned that in addition to the claims I believe are valid, taxpayers are footing

Clearing up some misconceptions In response to a Sept. 14 guest column that ran alongside my monthly Mayor’s Column in The Marysville Globe written by my challenger in the Mayor’s race, I’m compelled to clear up some misconceptions and points that need clarification. n With regards to a proposal to build a coal export terminal at Cherry Point north of Bellingham, that

NORTH FROM PAGE 4 British casualty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sealed in over a 1,700-foot drop, there was no fleeing from the nut-case. Back down in the Village, we strolled amid hordes of travelers from far places.

Observing them in action re-ignited a fear that those wonderfully diverse peoples may be abandoning their cultures to imitate the lifestyle of the Western World’s rich

would add substantially more train traffic through Marysville, the city did not hire an expensive consulting firm to study traffic impacts. Salish Land Policy Solutions, a Bellingham public interest consulting firm, gave a presentation to the City Council on July 26 at no cost, and Gibson Traffic Consultants, hired by Salish, provided a preliminary analysis of traffic impacts, also at no charge to the city. City officials have been lobbying state and federal lawmakers for I-5 transportation access improvements at interchanges throughout the Marysville corridor and, while the 156th Street overcrossing is being funded through a private partnership with local property owners without on- and off-ramps, city officials are taking the steps necessary

We broke camp the next morning to drive south in a drizzle, arriving at the border at 11 a.m. Ninety minutes later we presented passports and gave info about our origin, visit in Canada, that we had no contraband, what we’d bought, all the time being scrutinized for tell-tale signs of nervousness that might indicate we were up to no good. Compared with our five-minute processing by Canadian border patrollers on the way up, it was clear that Canada is far less nervous about who enters Canadian territory than U.S.

While budget writers are forcing state employees to take 3 percent pay cuts and asking citizen legislators to do the same, lawmakers should also be willing to put everything on the table for discussion as it relates to managing the state budget — including state lawsuit liability. I maintain the state could save taxpayers millions of dollars by addressing its lawsuit liability issues. To that end, I have drafted legislation that will require the attorney general’s office to review each lawsuit and put forward remedies to state agencies. State agencies would then be required to follow the directives in order to mitigate the state’s financial liability and protect taxpayers. The costliest agencies are the Department of Social and Health Services, the Washington State Patrol, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Corrections.

at the federal level to ensure ramps can be installed in the future. n The City Council last April did not pass a rule exempting big-box retailers from paying traffic impact fees. The action in April enabled Costco to apply previously paid traffic fees, for which they were due a refund, toward their Local Improvement District (LID) road assessment. The April 2011 ordinance had no impact on Walmart. In 2005, Walmart applied for site plan approval on a site with commercial zoning. Since the site was commercially zoned, it did not require any specific action by the Council or Mayor. They processed their approval in accordance with city rules for a commercial site. Walmart has already paid the $769,000 in traffic impact fees to

Liability costs related to the failures in state agencies are unacceptable. With a little bit of leadership from the governor and clear directives on how to lessen situations like those mentioned here, we could begin to reform the way state agencies do business. Forcing government to look at every function and ensure it is in the best interest of those it is serving, and those paying the bills, is good for everyone. It’s not too late to find ways to address the budget issues facing us, but it will take leadership and the willingness to fund priorities in the budget, enact reforms and retake the helm of our state to control costs at every level, including lawsuit liability.

the city, and $130,500 to Snohomish County. They are also required to construct off-site road and intersection improvements at Hwy. 9/SR528, SR 528, SR 528/87th Avenue, and SR 528/83rd Avenue that represent over $3.5 million in improvements. n The city had originally purchased the Coca Cola bottling plant for a Public Works expansion and relocation that was anticipated as a result of civic campus planning that had been ongoing for several years. After putting these plans on hold, we re-evaluated our building expansion plans and decided to sell the property if we could recover the purchase price for the portion of property sold. We were fortunate in negotiating a sale with Parr Lumber Company to purchase the facility.

The property consists of three lots the city bought for $3.75 million. Parr is buying Parcel 1 with the building for $2.3 million. This is scheduled to close this week. They also have a purchase agreement for Parcel 2, 2.48 acres with no street frontage, for $645,432. The city is retaining Parcel 3 along 76th Street NE for future public safety uses. Parcel 3 is 2.8 acres and fairly represents the remaining purchase value of about $800,000. So, while it is true that the city re-evaluated its purchase of the property and successfully negotiated a sale to a new business, it is inaccurate to suggest that our actions are resulting in a financial loss.

Immigration is about entrants to the U.S. Maybe we should spend more time exploring the reasons behind the reasons that this is so. CORRECTION A column that appeared in the Sept. 7 issue suggested that the cost of a political yard sign could be less than $1. Though that remains true for the printed sheet but by the time you add a stake, backing and assembly and distribution, the cost may triple. With volunteer labor a sign should not top $3.

Lakewood falls 3-0 to King’s BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

SHORELINE — While the defense was there for a half, the Cougars’ offense never showed up. The Lakewood girls soccer team left a 3-0 Cascade Conference loss to King’s Sept. 15 with more questions than it had opening the match. “We had some breakdown in communication in some places,” said Lakewood manager Jeremiah Wohlgemuth. “And that has to improve because we were making decisions that were counter productive.” In a rare defensive breakdown, the Cougars allowed three goals in the second half. Two of those goals came from King’s earning 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 situations. The gamedeciding goal came just three minutes into the second half by Anisa Uberuaga, who knocked the ball in from just inside the goal box after the Knights’ original cross passed the goal mouth and was redirected by Beth Stella. “I just thought that they came out after halftime with a definite game plan and stuck to it,” Wohlgemuth said. “They just kept attacking and moving the ball around and we

had trouble with it.” King’s scored again in the 52nd and 60th minutes, marking just the second time in three years that a Lakewood defense allowed more than two goals in a match. Despite posting a clean sheet during the first half, Lakewood conceded possession to a King’s team that was as physical as any team the Cougars are likely to see this season. “It’s not a style that we haven’t seen yet,” said Wohlgemuth about King’s being able to push his girls off the ball. “The difference between them, Burlington-Edison, Mount Vernon and Cedarcrest is that they were able to back up that physicality with a finesse game — winning the ball and then distributing it where they needed.” Meanwhile, the Cougars weren’t able to mount much of an attack, neglecting to put a shot on target in 80 minutes. Their best scoring chance came from a cross by Anna Kuchler that skipped through the penalty area and just past a pair of Lakewood runners who would have had nearly the entire net to work with. Lakewood fell to 1-2-1 on the season.

Gleneagle golf tourney raises funds for 9/11 memorial BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Arlington’s Mike Johnson lines up his putt at the first 9/11 memorial golf tournament at Gleneagle Golf Course on Sept. 11 of this year.

ARLINGTON — With a fundraising total of more than $7,000 for the day, organizers of the Gleneagle Golf Course’s first 9/11 memorial tournament on Sept. 11 of this year hope to see the event become an annual affair. Gleneagle Golf Course General Manager Mike Simpson took pride in raising the funds for the 9/11 memorial at Arlington Firehouse 46 through a combination of hole sponsorships, string and mulligan sales, and other donations. “We had about 90 golfers sign up, with about 20 more who were walk-ons,” Simpson said. “The turnout was great, considering the time constraints we had to pull it off.” When Simpson learned that Arlington firefighters would be traveling to New York City to bring back an artifact from the World Trade Center in late August, it crystallized plans he’d already made to stage a fundraiser golf tournament for firefighters on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “I’d actually hoped to draw a full count of 144 players, but I think we did pretty well for how lastminute the organization of the event was,” Simpson said. “We had to plan things with the fire department and get local businesses involved, but the response we received was great. Everyone busted their humps to make this a success.”

Simpson made the tournament a four-person ball buster scramble to challenge the players, and he admitted that he hopes events such as this will increase the exposure of the Gleneagle Golf Course. “We’ve gotten people today who don’t normally come out to this course,” Simpson said on Sept. 11. “Some people still think this golf course is shut down. We want people to think of this as a community course. We support the community because we’re part of it.” Colt Saunders has roots in both the Marysville and the Arlington communities, and he was out on the links to help fund the construction of a memorial housing for the World Trade Center artifact at Arlington Firehouse 46. He graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High School in 2006, and had just started his freshman year when the terrorist attacks struck the Twin Towers. “It’s a good day to come together,” Saunders said, citing the warm, sunny weather. “We should thank our firefighters for what they do every day.” Arlington’s Mike Johnson likewise praised the tournament as an opportunity to honor the first responders who risk their own lives to protect the lives and property of others. “Mike has put in some very difficult pin placements, which makes this less straightforward and more fun,” Johnson said. “Plus, you couldn’t have picked a more gorgeous day to be outside.”

Arlington remembers 9/11

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The community A rlington observed Sept. 11, 2011, not only as the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but also as a day for their firefighters to rededicate themselves and their “house.” Arlington Firehouse 46 was thronged with crowds well before the Blackjack Squadron flew a “Missing Man Formation” in the skies overhead, to honor the 2,977 lives lost 10 years ago. Arlington Mayor Margaret Larson credited the members of Arlington American Legion Post 76 with staging annual 9/11 remembrance ceremonies in Legion Park in the years that followed to help ensure that those who were lost would not be forgotten. “As you get older, you see how important these traditions are,” Larson said. “They’re the glue that binds together the old and the young.” To that end, Larson proudly touted not only the installation of the original Arlington fire station’s brass pole in the recently renovated Arlington Firehouse 46, but also the presence of the artifact from the World Trade Center that four Arlington firefighters had personally retrieved from New York City, so that it could be shown to the public in a place of honor at Firehouse 46. Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman praised the rows of seated police officers and firefighters in attendance for making the same decision as the 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers and emergency workers who died 10 years ago because they’d all sworn the same oath, to lay down their own lives to save the lives of others if needed. “When a man becomes a fireman, his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished,” Stedman said, quoting New York City Fire Chief Edward Croker’s remarks from a century before 9/11. “What he does after that is all in the line of work.” While Stedman believes that firefighters’ courage in the face of danger and dedication to their duties have not changed in the century since Croker’s assessment, he acknowledged that the scope of firefighters and other first responders’ mission was forever altered by

9/11, since it’s expanded to include dealing with chemical and biological weapons, “dirty bombs” and terrorism. To that end, Stedman was pleased to be able to recognize these added responsibilities by securing a 13-foot, 4,373-pound steel beam from the World Trade Center, which he’d applied for last year with the support of Larson and the Arlington City Council, and which the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey had approved the Arlington Fire Department to receive this summer. “I was told numerous times by many people, including the Port Authority, not to get my hopes up of having it here before Sept. 11,” Stedman said. “My response, each time, was that

they didn’t know the community of Arlington or its firefighters.” Stedman explained that four Arlington firefighters volunteered to drive to New York City on their own time, a trip they managed to make in less than 42 hours after leaving town on Aug. 14, while their fellow Arlington firefighters covered their shifts until their return to town on Aug. 20. Before the steel was unveiled from the box that the Arlington firefighters had built for it, Stedman estimated that approximately $50,000 in funds would need to be raised to build a memorial housing for it at Firehouse 46, with an eye toward completing construction before Sept. 11, 2012. “It is our goal that this somber memorial will serve

not only to tell the stories of those who willingly ran into those burning buildings to save lives, but also to help us as firefighters remain focused on the broadened scope of our mission,” Stedman said. After the completion of

the 9/11 memorial ceremony, Stedman transitioned immediately into the rededication ceremony for Arlington Firehouse 46, which he explained was first built as a one-story structure in 1961, to replace the Arlington Fire

Weston honored for service to Arlington

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — “I was born during the Depression, so my mother was always helping those in need,” said Duane Weston, after he was honored for his own decades of service to others. “We took care of the sick in our house, so being a servant was just a natural thing.” As much as Weston insisted that any number of other community members were just deserving of the title, he nonetheless received a standing ovation at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on Sept. 14 as he received their sixth annual Lifetime Achievement Award. What could be consid-

ered exhaustive volunteerism to others has been part of Weston’s everyday life for most of his life, as far back as when his leadership of the Arlington Volunteer Search and Rescue from 1968-1971 culminated in 31 missions in 1971 alone. “With one of my sons born in 1967, it was hard to be taken away from my home overnight so often,” Duane said, as he acknowledged the challenges this also posed to his wife, Anna Marie. “When I finally decided that my treks with them were getting too lengthy, she didn’t disagree,” he laughed. This didn’t stop Duane Weston from following his term as committee chair

of Boy Scouts of America Troop 86 in Stanwood with a stint as Scoutmaster of Arlington’s Troop 29 in 1983, during which he earned the Tyee District Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver Awards for his volunteer efforts. “It’s so much fun to see these kids come along, grow up and become men through the Scouts,” Duane said of the Scouts he’s supervised over the years, which have included his two sons, Robert and Howard. “Both my boys found achieving the Eagle Scout rank to be worthwhile.” Duane Weston’s duties as the Arlington Methodist Church’s representative to its Boy Scout troop and

Explorer Search and Rescue post are only a few of the ways in which he’s served that church over the years. After the Arlington United Methodist Church merged with the Arlington United Church of Christ to become the Arlington United Church, Weston continued to serve the church in a number of positions, includ-

ing moderator, finance chair and church trustee. In the fall of 1980, Duane Weston even became one of the founders of the Arlington Community Food Bank. He went on to serve on its board for 29 years, including a run as its president from 19962010. Duane retired as the chief forester and president

of Pilchuck Tree Farm in 2001, after first accepting a forester job there before his marriage to Anna Marie in 1963, but he still maintains a part-time position as director of external affairs, dealing with recreational users. “You can’t afford to pay people for everything that needs to be done,” Duane Weston said.

TAX SERVICES Q: I have been receiving unemployment compensation since March when my company closed. May I pay my health insurance premiums from the funds in the HSA (Health Savings Account) that I established while working?

Jill Czadek Enrolled Agent

A: Generally, health insurance premiums are not qualified medical expenses for payment with the funds in your HSA. However, premiums for health care coverage while an individual is receiving unemployment compensation are allowed. You are also able to pay COBRA health care continuation coverage and qualified long-term care insurance from your HSA. For more information about Health Savings Accounts please call our office.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.
