ARLINGTON — The annual Letter Carriers Food Drive on Saturday, May 11, couldn’t have come too soon for the Arlington Community Food Bank. While this year’s take was still being totted up as of press time, last year’s Letter Carriers Food Drive generated an estimated $15,000 worth of food for the Arlington Community Food Bank, according to Jerrie Inman, a member of the Arlington Community Food Bank Board of Directors. “That adds up to more than 10,000 pounds of food that we took in last year during this one-day drive alone,” Inman said on May 11. “I’m pretty sure this is a biggie for all the community food banks, but I know it
is for us. We started this morning with some fairly bare cupboards, and a lot of what we did have left had been given to us by the Volunteers of America.” Inman noted that items such as flour, sugar, rice, oatmeal and peanut butter tend not to be donated as much, which is why the Arlington Community Food Bank spends as much as $3,000 a month on them. “The food we receive during the holiday season just barely gets us to this food drive,” Inman said. “The food we receive in this food drive will hopefully get us through to the holidays.” Inman praised the volunteers, both from the Arlington Community Food Bank and from the Arlington and Smokey SEE FOOD, PAGE 2

Arlington School District Superintendent Dr. Kris McDuffy and Board Vice President Kay Duskin listen attentively to the Washington State School Directors’ Association explanation of a proposed review rubric for superintendents at a joint school board meeting on May 11.
ARLINGTON — The Arlington School District’s Board of Directors and superintendent met with those of the Marysville, Everett and Mount Vernon school districts on Saturday, May 11, to take a tentative new method of measuring superintendent performance out for a test drive. Phil Gore, director of leadership and development services with the Washington State School Directors’ Association,
led the school districts’ respective personnel through the six-hour training session, which included a series of simulated scenarios which tasked the boards with evaluating superintendents by applying the latest draft of WSSDA’s proposed rubric. “I am concerned that this could be too cumbersome,” Arlington School Board Vice President Kay Duskin said at the outset of the exercise. Fellow Arlington School Board member Bob McClure expressed a
similar concern with losing sight of the big picture, due to the model’s more than 50 individual criteria, but also voiced the hope that the day could point the way to common practices between the boards. “We all want to grow professionally and personally, so hopefully this gives us an opportunity to get better at what we do,” said Dr. Jeff Huleatt, legislative representative for the Arlington School Board.

Point post offices, who make the food drive such a well-organized affair in her estimation. “The folks at the Post
Office already have such a hard job as it is, without adding to the challenge of their routes with the difficulty of lugging thin plastic bags filled with heavy food,” agreed fellow Arlington Community Food Bank volunteer Kelly Marlo. “There’s

less fortunate.” Although the day of the food drive itself was so hectic that volunteers had to sort donations in stages, just to get each wave out of the way in time to receive the next one, Inman pointed out that this time of year overall tends to be slow going for both cash and food donations. Nonetheless, the Arlington Community Food Bank was recently able to generate 243.5 pounds of food and $400 in cash for “Meals ‘til Monday,” which helps families within the Arlington School District who are part of the free and reducedprice lunch program. “Most of our food still comes in at Christmastime, though,” said Carol Stamey, another Arlington Community Food Bank volunteer. “The organization that’s required for this food

School Board. The May 11 joint school board meeting was the Arlington School Board’s second meeting with Gore about this issue, which allowed the board members to see many of the critiques they’d offered during the first meeting integrated into the latest draft of WSSDA’s proposal. “It’s a great elucidation of the myriad of activities that a superintendent could and should be responsible for,” Ghirardo told The Arlington Times after the May 11 meeting. “It’s a powerful tool which we’re looking to adapt
to fit our district’s strategic plan.” While Ghirardo believes the proposed rubric could inspire outside-the-box thinking in evaluating superintendents, she also feels much better about it now that there seems to be more of a built-in flexibility to allow that rubric to be adjusted for the school districts’ needs. “It could even be an opportunity for us to further align our district’s overall strategic plans with our data-driven department plans, so that everyone’s pulling in the same direction,” Ghirardo said.

“I’d like for this to reflect not just the Board’s input, but also what district staff and even students feel,” Arlington School Board President Ursula Ghirardo said. Duskin responded to the case applications that followed by citing them as evidence that school boards need agreed-upon expectations and free-flowing communication between their members, the latter of which McClure agreed was a strength of the Arlington

Stillaguamish Senior Center burglarized a second time BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo
Linda Bowman, manager of the Stillaguamish Senior Center’s Thrift Store, shows the empty ring tray and valuables drawer where the store’s stolen merchandise used to be.
ARLINGTON — On the morning of Monday, May 6, Stillaguamish Senior Center staff members found they’d been made the victims of a second weekend burglary within a two-week period. While Senior Center staff had discovered that their offices were ransacked on the morning of Monday, April 22, the front door of the Center’s Thrift Store was broken into this time around. According to Thrift Store Manager Linda Bowman, the cost to repair the door itself, whose damages are not covered by insurance, could run around $3,000,
which compounds the loss of a Dell laptop worth about $350, a number of gold and silver coins, as well as some jewelry, whose estimated dollar value lies between $500 and $1,000, and an estimated $150 from soda sales. “There have been so many break-ins in the local area that we don’t want to seem like we’re begging for money,” Bowman said. “We’re all struggling here. I feel worst for the volunteers, because after all their hard work this is like being punched in the stomach for them.” Damage to the Thrift Store’s back doors leads Bowman to believe that would-be thieves have attempted entry there as well, which has led her to won-
der where she might store such valuables within the Thrift Store where they could be safe. Jo Olson, executive director of the Stillaguamish Senior Center, explained that the Senior Center itself will soon sport an alarm system, but acknowledged that no such system is set to be put in place for the Thrift Store. Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield reported that Arlington Police received a call just before 9 a.m. on Sunday, May 5, from a passerby who spotted that the glass door to the Thrift Store had been smashed. The Stillaguamish Senior Center relies upon its Thrift Store, located at 18218 Smokey
Point Blvd., for funds to support its programs. Its need became especially pressing in the wake of the prior burglary, which robbed the Senior Center of nearly $4,000 worth of equipment, including the offices’ computers, a Sony digital camera, a brandnew electronic piano keyboard, a large flatscreen television, a Nintendo Wii, an Xbox Kinect and several games for those systems. If you have any information regarding either of these burglaries, please call the Arlington Police Department at 360-4033400. If you’re interested in helping the Stillaguamish Senior Center recover from its losses, you can call 360-653-4551.
Carlile no longer employed by MPD MARYSVILLE — As a result of the findings of a Marysville Police Department internal affairs investigation, Officer Derek Carlile’s employment with the city of Marysville has been terminated, effective immediately as of Monday, May 6. Carlile was sworn into the Marysville Police Department on Sept. 28, 2009, and charged with sec-
ond degree manslaughter by the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office on March 22, 2012, in connection with the accidental shooting death of his 7-year-old daughter, Jenna, on March 11, 2012. Carlile pled not guilty, and his case ended in a mistrial in Snohomish County Superior Court in Everett on Nov. 13, 2012, due to a deadlocked jury.
The Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office declined to retry Carlile, but the Marysville Police Department’s internal affairs investigation into the case began after the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office had completed its own investigation. No further comment by the city of Marysville is expected to be made on this matter.

Rescuing universal health care
he far-right calls it Obamacare so that when they sink it, as they intend to do, they’ll sink its namesake, too. That’s not a very nice thing to do. Not when public health truly means more to the nation than the ravings of chest-thumping old white politicians. It’s hard to figure whether they’re in a snit over Obamacare because they can’t bear it being passed by a black Democrat or because of other reasons. They once charged that we’d have to wait to see doctors or to have operations, just like in Canada. Then reality caught them waiting a month or two to see their own right-wing doctors. Just like in Canada. So they reloaded with the issue they’re closest to. Money. Conservative think-tanks jumped to embellish a message which says, while we can spend for miscellaneous wars, bank subsidies and a do-nothing congress, we cannot afford medical care. Unless you’re rich, of course. The right’s oxymoronic Independent Institute dutifully published dollar-based claims: Doctors will simply stop seeing patients. Hospitals will leave the market (close). Obamacare will destabilize entire sectors of the economy. It’s not that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, is free of problems. It’s such a big idea that we should expect it to carry big baggage. And as it represents change, certain

entrenched interests holding the short straws howl the loudest. But that’s not enough reason to swallow the negative blather of think-tanks that give thinking a bad name. Universal health care works fine elsewhere. When every German citizen (or visitor to Germany) gets excellent health care at 34 cents for the same care our patchwork system delivers for a dollar, something is very wrong. Let’s be frank about why. Real reasons for the high costs of health care — universal or otherwise — spring from the American way of life, parasitic insurance middle-men and abuses by the Medical Industry — not to be confused with ethical practitioners within the medical profession. These are inflationary causes that can and should be addressed. A number of things have happened at once. Americans became progressively sloppy about keeping themselves healthy while an economy-wide frenzy to deregulate business turned medical insurers into mercenary parasites. Machines replaced muscle to turn hard-bodies Americans into soft bodied slobs. Natural exercise disappeared with push-type lawn mowers and wood

stoves that needed wood choppers. We don’t even wind car windows up and down. Universal health care will be affordable only if citizens like you and I would (a) realize that we are the first line of responsibility for taking care of our bodies, (b) abandon health-destroying substances and activities, and (c) make sure the next Congress has a spine enough to recognize that what’s good for business may not be good for the nation’s health. Consider these four points of attack: Personal fitness and obesity: Obesity is a fast-track to expensive Type-2 diabetes treatment now costing one of every ten dollars spent for health care. The nation’s annual bill for diabetes treatment has now topped $245 billion, In Washington State, the obesity rate jumped from a 1995 level of between 14 percent and 17.9 percent to a 2010 level of from 22 percent to 25.9 percent. The percentage jump in diabetes was even greater. With a quarter of the population obese, Mike and Molly fit right in as “roll” models. Medical profit centers: David Maurenhen, M.D., reported, “Over the last several years I have heard my colleagues talk more and more about ancillary revenues and how they [MRIs] are becoming a musthave in order to survive in today’s marketplace. Some have bragged that their revenue generators [MRIs] are ‘cash-cows.’” The Wall Street Journal reported that clinics referring patients for less-common
PET scans earned up to $525,000 for two referrals per day. Another study showed that test results from patients whose doctors profited from MRIs consistently showed more negative results than tests ordered by doctors who didn’t profit from the tests. Unfettered, the medical industry trends toward whatever is most profitable. Hypochondria: Stuff happens. I stub a toe. I twist a knee. I get the sniffles. It seems that America has forgotten that a human body’s miraculous potential for fixing itself takes care of most bruises, cuts, sprains and transient bugs. Many cases end after 14 days with treatment, two weeks without. Yet we insist on costly doctoring for everything from hangnails to sour stomachs. Overmedication: Pills, pills, pills. After the FDA loosened advertising regulations on DTC (direct-to-consumer) medications, advertising jumped from $1 billion in 1997 to $4.2 billion in 2005. “See your doctor today!” followed by 15 seconds of fast-talking side effects citing everything from bleeding ulcers to blindness. We can fix the system if we open our eyes to the personal and economic reasons for the problems it faces. As a nation that went smokefree and buckled up, we can face decisions that will make quality universal health care affordable. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

Coastal Bank opens in Smokey Point with ribbon-cutting

SMOKEY POINT — The grand opening of the Coastal Community Bank at 16419 Smokey Point Blvd. on Friday, May 10, drew a host of dignitar-
ies, from state Sen. Kirk Pearson and Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert, to Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce President Kristen Granroth and Stillaguamish Senior Center Executive Director Jo Olson.

From left, Coastal Community Bank CEO and President Eric Sprink, Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert, Coastal Community Bank Executive Vice President Laura Byers and state Sen. Kirk Pearson take part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Coastal Community Bank’s branch in Smokey Point on May 10.
“I’m a Coastal customer,” Pearson said. “My campaign account is at the Monroe branch. Even though we’re going into special session in Olympia, we have more money now than we did the last biennium, and that’s because our economy is growing, as hardworking people like you make more deposits.” “I love community banks,” Tolbert said. “I love seeing the faces of familiar businesses here, and welcoming them back to Arlington.” Granroth touted the building as literally readymade for a new bank, having already housed a previous bank, and described its location as ideal for easy access and lack of I-5 con-
gestion. As for Olson, she received evidence of Coastal Community Bank’s stated commitment to supporting its surrounding community in the form of an oversized check for $1,000, to help offset the losses of the recent burglaries of both the Senior Center and its Thrift Store. “We ordered our flowers and cupcakes from shops right here in Smokey Point,” said Robin Reinig, manager of the Smokey Point branch of Coastal Community Bank, who also pointed out the displayed artwork from local artists and the Fogdog Gallery in Arlington. “We have about eight or nine people in customer service, and another 20 work-

May Hunt benefits from pleasant weather
ARLINGTON — The Downtown Arlington Business Association’s May Hunt sale drew two dozen vendors and a steady stream of shoppers and browsers to the Arlington city parking lot next to Legion Park on
Saturday, May 11. “This is exciting,” said Doris Keezer, a first-time May Hunt customer, as she checked out local vendor Judy Smith’s handmade wares. “There’s lots of good stuff here that’s giving me good ideas for my own handcrafts, and I need to see that Tupperware man,” she added
as she wandered to the next tent. Smith has been a regular at the May Hunt and October Hunt for the past three years, and this year saw her selling her mother’s embroidery and her daughter’s crocheting, along with an assortment of odds and ends. “It’s just fun,” Smith said.
“I like quilting things to sell, and I enjoyed making these little shoes, even if no one has bought any yet,” she laughed. Since her family first moved to Arlington nine months ago, Jean Simpson has attended all of the city’s downtown activities and the May Hunt was no exception. “We’re doing a bit of shopping for the other boys, who are doing yard work right now,” said Simpson, who professed a fondness for the work of the on-site scrapbookers, while her school-age son Grant bought himself a Hot Wheels car from Smith. “I love that this town utilizes this space for all these events, from the farmers’ markets to the parades. I haven’t missed a single one all year.” “The Purse Lady” Debbie Whitis, who serves as secretary/treasurer for DABA and coordinates the May Hunt, characterized this year’s business as about the same as last year’s, which started slow but

May Hunt vendor Judy Smith looks on as first-time May Hunt customer Doris Keezer checks out her handmade wares on May 11. picked up in the afternoon. “This event is always a big seller for me,” said Whitis, even as she acknowledged, “This is probably the bestkept secret in Arlington, because we have people who have lived in town 10-15 years and not heard about it.” While this year’s vendors included one from Snohomish and another from Anacortes, Whitis explained that most May Hunt ven-
dors are more local, although she sent invitations for this year’s May Hunt not only to previous May Hunt vendors, but also past vendors for the annual Street Fair and last year’s Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce barbecue competition. “We offer great products and a great way to spend a Saturday,” said Karen Ann Mattausch, a consultant for Cookie Lee.

It is the fourth year in a row that the Lady Eagles took the division title. “On the boys side we wanted to beat Lake Stevens.

DUVALL — The Lakewood boys track and field team took first place at the 2A Cascade/ Kingco Sub-District meet on Friday, May 10, while the girls team took second place. The Cougar boys scored 155 points overall as a team, while the girls scored 121 points. “The boys, on the heels of the Cascade Conference victory a week ago, won the Sub-District meet which was definitely a highlight,” said head coach Jeff Sowards. “The significance of the Cascade Conference win is that it has been 14 years since the last time the boys won it.” Top performances include those by junior
Andrew Stich, who took first place in the 110meter hurdles with a time of 15.57 and first place in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 41.14. Senior David Otte took first place in the shot put, with a throw of 46-04.25. Junior Tristan Nelson won the discus with a throw of 134-10, while Otte took third with a 124-06. “We had a double winner with Andrew Stich, who won both the 110meter and 300-meter hurdles with an outstanding performance,” said Sowards. Senior Justin Peterson took second place in both the high jump and the triple jump, with a 6-00 and 40-11.5 respectively. Freshman Josh Dickey took third place in the 100-
meter race and sixth place in the 200-meter race with times of 11.31 and 23.81 respectively. Sophomore Douglas Davis took third place in the 3,200-meter with a time of 9:48.84 and fourth place in the 1,600meter finals with a time of 4:29.22. The boys 4x100-meter relay team of Cuz Griffin, Brett Bustad, Tyler Courtney and Dickey took third place with a time of 44.76. The boys 4x400-meter relay team of Ryan Whitehead, Sean Dawson, Preston Davis and Andrew Stich took fourth place with a time of 3:47.83. The Lady Cougars were also successful, with Skylar Cannon taking first place in the javelin with a throw of 121-00, and
Shantel St. Jean finished second with a throw of 104-03. Britney Albro took second place in the girls 800-meter race with a time of 2:25.56. Taylor Studzinski took second place in the girls pole vault with a 9-06.00. “Taylor Studzinski, although she took second place, broke the Lakewood High School record for the pole vault,” said Sowards, who noted that the previous record was set five years ago. Larissa Block took third place in both shot put and discus with throws of 31-11 and 93-03 respectively. The girls relay teams were successful as well, with all three taking third place. The 4x100 relay team of Aimee White, Hunter Clark, Taylor
Storms and Stephanie Smith finished with a time of 53.28. The 4x200 relay team of Chase Gormley, Clark, Storms and Smith finished with a time of 1:52.38. The 4x400 relay team of Smith, Ariel Jensen, Clark and Storms finished with a time of 4:30.36. More than 40 Cougars will compete at the Bi-District Championships on Wednesday, May 15, at Civic Stadium in Bellingham. “District 1 is one of the toughest to get out of to qualify for state,” said Sowards. “You have to be in the top three to advance, but I believe that a number of our athletes will be competing at the state meet.”

Arlington’s Emery achieves Eagle Scout rank

and development as a Scout. Emery likewise credited his family — including his parents Edward and Terri, as well as his older brother Kyle, who had previously achieved the Eagle Scout rank himself — with motivating him to accomplish his goals. “I got involved with the Scouts because of Kyle, and I stayed in because I wanted to make Eagle like he did,” Emery said. “It’s made me a stronger person.” “He’s gained self-confidence through the Scouts,” Edward Emery said of his son Kevin. For his Eagle Scout project, Kevin Emery chose to plan out and supervise the building of five large wooden benches for Pioneer Elementary students to
use in their wetland study area. Rene White, owner of Arlington Transmission and Kevin’s first scoutmaster, donated the lumber. “It took about three full weekends last fall to install the benches, but it took
months to get it approved,” Kevin Emery said. “I’m proud of him, not just for the benches, but also for helping other Scouts on their way to the Eagle rank,” Edward Emery said. “Kevin has always helped out the
younger guys. He’s a good mentor.” Emery also received a certificate from Arlington American Legion Post 76, which supports Troop 92, recognizing the Eagle Scout’s good deeds.

ARLINGTON — Kevin Emery was officially inducted into the ranks of the Boy Scouts of America’s Eagle Scouts on Saturday, May 11, as fellow members of Boy
Scouts Troop 92 in Arlington celebrated his achievements. Troop 92 Scoutmaster Darin Janda cited Emery’s demonstrated leadership ability and survival skills as evidence of his worthiness for the rank of Eagle Scout, joking, “I could drop him off in the wilderness with only a pocketknife, and come back one month later to find he’d built the Swiss Family Robinson’s home.” Janda also noted Emery’s sense of humor, warning, “If you prank him, he will prank you back with interest.” Since starting as a Tiger Cub in first grade, Emery has had three scoutmasters in Troop 92, including Janda, and he thanked them all for contributing to his education

Lakewood Drama presents ‘Little Women’ kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
LAKEWOOD — Lakewood High School’s annual spring play reached a new audience this year as its run of “Little Women,” adapted from the Louisa May Alcott novel, began with a free showing for area senior citizens. Residents of the Warm Beach Senior Center joined other area seniors in stopping by the Lakewood High School auditorium on the afternoon of Thursday, May 2, for a dinner theater production of the students’ play, complete with a catered meal by Cristiano’s Pizza of Marysville. “Your actions speak volumes of your support for the community, especially seniors who need a little extra help,” Warm Beach Senior Community Program Coordinator Mike Tatham wrote to the students. “We value the relationship we share with students and staff at Lakewood High School and your outreach draws us in for more. Little Women and the meal were just great. A number or our residents commented on how the students really put their hearts into it all.” After regular showings on May 3 and 4, the Lakewood High School student cast of
“The seniors actually knew the story, because they’d grown up reading it. I think we should do it every year.” Alethea Cody Lakewood High School senior the play reflected on their run before their final performances on May 10 and 11. “The seniors actually knew the story, because they’d grown up reading it,” said Lakewood High School senior Alethea Cody, who played Beth March. “I think we should do it every year.” “They were so appreciative,” said Brianna Winegar, who played Meg March. “It
was really cool to see how happy they were, and it was so cute that they wanted to talk to us about it.” Lakewood High School Drama teacher Rebecca White described the play’s cast and crew coming together as family, much like the one in the novel. “It came to me that a play that highlights the bonds between family and friends is timeless,” White said.

5/10/13 3:34 PM Virginia Grace (Carson) King, R.N.
May 23, 1914 — April 26, 2013
Virginia Grace Carson King died peacefully on April 26, 2013, surrounded by family at her home of 63 years. Though approaching 99, she swam twice weekly at the YMCA, and did her own laundry, cooking and gardening until less than two weeks before her death. Virginia was the second youngest of nine children, born to Blanche Bledsoe Carson and John W. Carson on May 23, 1914 in Eugene, Oregon. Her parents had settled in nearby Alvadore, buying a general store. After robbers blew the safe and destroyed the inventory, the family moved to Vancouver, Washington, where Virginia started school. Because she could read fluently, she spent only two hours in first grade before advancing to second grade to join her lifelong friend Jane West. Following graduation from Fort Vancouver High School, 785943_ViginiaKingObit0515.indd 1
she enrolled at the Swedish Hospital School of Nursing in Seattle. Completing training as a registered nurse in 1934, she continued to work at Swedish. Here she met her future husband, Walter Lynes King of Marysville whom she married in 1940. Lynes enlisted as an officer in the Navy in 1941. Virginia returned to Vancouver to live with her family while Lynes served in the South Pacific. She joined him in San Francisco and San Diego while he was stationed in those cities. Following the war, Lynes and Virginia moved to Everett and opened King’s Freeze, an ice cream parlor noted for both quality and innovative flavors. In 1948 they moved to Marysville and established an egg ranch on the King farm, in the family since 1918. Nearby King Creek is named in honor of the farm and family.
In 1959, Lynes began a teaching career in Edmonds S.D. and Virginia returned to nursing at Havenwood nursing home, and, later, Everett General Hospital. After strokes disabled Lynes in 1973, Virginia cared for him at home until his death in 1977. Her plans to travel abroad in 1939 were thwarted by the outbreak of World War II. However, in later years she traveled extensively, abroad and in the US until a year before her
death. She often returned to Oregon where she especially loved Cannon Beach. From an early age, Virginia displayed a phenomenal memory. Known as the “family Google” she could answer any question no matter what the topic. She could describe a train trip at age 5 to Vancouver to welcome her brother Ike home from World War I, when she saw her first motion picture or when she heard Cab Calloway in a Pioneer Square
nightclub in the 30’s. She was a voracious reader, completing 15 to 30 books a month until the week of her death. She was a dedicated Mariners fan,who rarely missed a televised game, attended several in person and who traveled to Arizona once to attend spring training. She did crossword puzzles daily, completing the Sunday New York Times puzzle four days before her death. Her homebaked apple pie, cracked wheat bread and molasses cookies will be dearly missed. Virginia was a founding member of the Sunnyside PTA – then an independent school district. She was a charter member of the Marysville Historical Society, and member of the Sunnyside Improvement Club, Friends of the Marysville Library, a pinochle club, and Sunnyside Grange. Virginia also volunteered to assist with elementary school hearing
tests and vaccinations. She and Lynes were also active square dancers in the 1950s Virginia is survived by her children, Jeffrey King (Jessie Kitts) of Portland, Priscilla (Rod) MacMillan of Portland, Mary Sweet of Woodinville and Thomas King (Stacey Gleason) of Marysville; and grandchildren, James, Jeffrey and Patrick Sweet, Anthony, Christopher and Michelle King. Virginia made many devoted friends through her long life, though most preceded her in death. She would often joke that she wished she had a dollar for every cup of coffee or piece of pie that she served to people who stopped by the farm to visit or buy eggs. By her request, there will be no service. Gifts, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Friends of the Marysville Library or Mercy Corps. 5/7/13 3:17 PM

‘Click it or Ticket’ patrols take on texters, talkers
Washington has one of the highest seat belt use rates in the country due in large part to its highly visible “Click It or Ticket” campaign, which includes publicity, extra enforcement and signage. In June of 2002, when the primary seat belt law went into effect, approximately 82 percent of Washington drivers wore seat belts. Today, nearly 97 percent of
Washington drivers are buckling up. Now, “Click It or Ticket” is focusing on another important traffic safety concern — distracted drivers who are texting and talking on their cell phones. Between May 20 and June 2, motorists in Snohomish County can expect to see law enforcement patrolling city and county roads in search of unbuckled drivers and
passengers, as well as drivers using their cell phones. Last year during this same time period, officers on routine and extra patrols statewide issued 3,171 seat belt violations amongst the 11,047 motorists who were stopped. Likewise, 1,059 cell phone violations were written last year during this time period, whereas in 2010, the same year cell phone use became a primary
law in Washington, only 63 drivers were cited statewide. In Snohomish County, the Marysville, Everett, Edmonds and Lynnwood police departments will be teaming the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office and the Washington State Patrol to participate in these extra patrols, with the support of the Snohomish County DUI & Target
Zero Traffic Safety Task Force. These and all other extra patrols are part of Target Zero, which is striving to end traffic deaths and serious injuries in Washington by 2030. For more information, visit www.targetzero.com. Additional information on the Washington Traffic Safety Commission can be found online at www.wtsc.wa.gov.

Carbajal blood drive keeps Bloodmobiles busy BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
ARLINGTON — The Carbajal family’s blood drive on Saturday, May 11, had two Puget Sound Blood Center Bloodmobiles bustling in the parking lot of the Arlington Haggen Food and Pharmacy. Elliot Carbajal was a long-time committed blood donor who died, at the age of 40, five days after a violent assault, when he was taken off life support on his father’s birthday, Dec. 16, 2009. His family donated his organs, and has since promoted the causes of organ and blood donation to memorialize him. In turn, Elliot Carbajal was honored for his lifegiving generosity by Donate Life America, whose “Journeys of the Heart” float included a “flora-graph” of his face during its appearance in the Jan. 1 Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif. The latest blood drive was an especially bittersweet occasion for the Carbajal
family, since it came only 10 days after the passing of Elliot’s father on May 1. “Dad really wanted to be here today,” said Rachel Carbajal, one of Elliot’s sisters. “He was really proud of what we’d managed to do in Elliot’s name.” Rachel noted not only the heavy traffic of donors that day, but also the fact that this blood drive marked the first time that the Carbajal family was able to get more donors to reserve their appointments ahead of time than the number of walkups. “We only had to turn away one walk-up because the Bloodmobiles were full,” Rachel Carbajal said. “I want everyone who came to donate to know how much we appreciate them. They’re the ones who make this event a success, not us.” Linda Carbajal, Elliot’s oldest sister, was not only one of the 24 Carbajal family members who volunteered to help coordinate the blood drive that day, but she was also among the 32 donors

Two dozen members of the Carbajal family, including spouses and children, turned out in support of the May 11 blood drive in tribute to Elliot Carbajal on May 11, which filled not just one, but two Puget Sound Blood Center Bloodmobiles. in the blood drive’s first two hours, which allowed her to hit her one-gallon blood donation mark in the process. “I just show up,” said Linda Carbajal, whose AB positive blood type makes her a universal donor.

Plant sale supports community BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Garden Club’s annual plant sale generated an estimated $600 in its first hour in the Arlington City Hall plaza on Saturday, May 11. Mike Conner, who currently heads up the plant sale, estimated that the
event dates back to at least the 1930s, and proudly touted its varieties of plants to entice home horticulturists. “We’ve got edibles, herbs, indoors, perennials, shrubs, trees, sedums, shade plants and raspberries,” Conner said. “We’ve got a good selection this year.” Conner credited Garden Club members with provid-
ing a broad assortment of plants by planting early and often. “One lady in Marysville potted her plants for this sale last fall,” Conner said. “The money that we make from these sales is reinvested in horticultural endeavors throughout the community, from the horticulture programs at the Arlington and Darrington high schools, to the hanging baskets of plants that went up around town.” The Arlington Garden Club has contributed to the planting of trees within the city, the maintenance of Lebanon Park and Centennial Trail, and even scholarships for local students, but for those who stopped by the City Hall plaza to check out the tables full of plants, the sale’s selection of plants was its own reward. “I come here every year,” said Mary Larson. “All these plants are unique, and they’re the heartiest ones I’ve ever owned. I can plant them in the fall and they’ll winter over. If I buy it here, it’ll live for years, as long as I do what the folks in the Garden Club say.” Even though she’s a member of the Arlington Garden Club herself, Inez Kuhnhausen got momentarily confused when she saw some lovely delphiniums right next to the Garden Club’s long tables full of plants. “It wasn’t until I got closer that I realized the delphiniums were part of the Mayor’s Garden,” Kuhnhausen laughed. “They weren’t part of the sale.” Heidi Thieman’s appreciation for the Arlington Garden Club’s selection was less aesthetic and more culinary. “I just love the cookbook they put out,” Thieman said of the Arlington Garden Club publication. “There’s too many good recipes in there for me to decide which ones are my favorites.” The Arlington Garden Club meets the second Monday of every month from September through June at the Gleneagle Family Restaurant, located at the Gleneagle Golf Course in Arlington, at 11:30 a.m. Its craft days at the Regency Care Center take place on the fourth Wednesday of every month at 3 p.m. For more information, log onto www. arlingtongardenclub.org. 625024
