Weston High School Class of 2013 Speaker Levi Wayland praised the school’s teachers for taking the time to help their students succeed. 731060

ARLINGTON — The Weston High School graduating class of 2013 was urged to take pride in their accomplishments by their peers and Arlington School District staff during their commencement ceremony at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center on June 5. Just as Weston High School Principal Annie Verellen-Grubbs credited her students with helping her develop a greater sense of perspective, even if they didn’t realize it at the time, so too did Salutatorian Tiffany Boitano and Class Speaker Levi Wayland take care to share credit with the school’s staff for giving them the tools and the drive to achieve what they have, in spite of the obstacles that many of them have faced. “Several of us took four years, some took a little longer than four years to get here today,” said SEE WESTON, PAGE 2

ARLINGTON — When she meets new people, 4-year-old Lacey Ernst immediately smiles, greets them cheerfully and asks them all sorts of curious questions, but one question that she has to ask — “Are you sick?” — has less to do with friendly concern and more to do with a pressing, life-changing need. Lacey has been on the heart transplant list since Nov. 21 of last year, just weeks after her fourth birthday on Nov. 6, but if she catches even a minor cold, it runs the risk of disqualifying her from receiving a transplant, even if a donor match is found for her. “We use a lot of Germ-X in this house,” said Nick Ernst, Lacey’s father. Lacey’s beautifully redec-

orated and Disney-themed bedroom, a gift from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, was meant to provide some comfort for a little girl whose multiple heart surgeries to date have not only weakened her body to the point that she needs twiceweekly physical therapy sessions to help her build up the strength to climb even a small set of stairs, but have also rendered her currently incapable of eating food on her own. “She has to feed through a tube now,” said Nick Ernst, who noted that Lacey had her first surgery at eight days old and her second at six months of age, before undergoing a series of four surgeries between September and December of last year. “She lost the ability to chew or swallow

WESTON FROM PAGE 1 Boitano, who offered special thanks to Cindy Christoferson, Will Nelson and Renee McArt for not giving up on her, even when she was tempted to give up on herself. “I’m sure everyone in this graduating class has a teacher that pushed them to do more and work harder, and helped them when they needed it the most.” Boitano quoted Mary Kay Ash’s advice to tell her classmates not to limit themselves, because “you can go as far as your mind lets you,”

The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe

a sentiment that Boitano insisted applies as much after graduation as it did during their high school carers. “Don’t lower your expectations by thinking you can’t do it, because you can,” Boitano said. Wayland seconded Boitano’s praise for Nelson by attributing his own success on his culminating project to his teacher taking extra time to help him out. “All the teachers here have gone out of their way, by changing their schedules to make sure we could catch up on our work, or by helping us be motivated to finish projects,” said Wayland, who acknowledged that Weston

was not the first high school that he and many of his classmates had attended. “I know the challenges we faced were not ordinary, but we faced them head-on and can proudly say we won.” Wayland’s quote of “learn from yesterday, live for today and hope for tomorrow” came from Albert Einstein. “Many of you have faced more challenges in your short lives than many adults have or will in their lifetimes,” said Verellen-Grubbs, who has been inspired by how her students have dealt those challenges, and said of her own life’s difficulties in comparison, “Whatever I have going on, I just need to

lighten up.” Arlington School District Superintendent Dr. Kristine McDuffy deemed the Weston High School graduates the embodiment of Mario Andretti’s quote, “Desire is the key to motivation, but it’s determination and commitment to an unre-

lenting pursuit of your goal, a commitment to excellence, that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” The Stillaguamish Valley School Class of 2013 graduation took place on Thursday, June 6, while those for Arlington High School and Highland Christian School

took place on Friday, June 7. Although they were too late to meet the press deadlines for the Wednesday, June 12, issue of The Arlington Times, those stories will appear in the June 19 issue and appear online at www. arlingtontimes.com during the week of the June 12 issue.

Her second surgery also gave her an oral aversion. If she gets even a crumb in her mouth now, she freaks out. She’s spent so long in a hospital bed that she can’t run, skip or jump.” Nick and his wife Heidi met at the Jack in the Box restaurant in Smokey Point where he still works, and the couple’s feelings about their predicament are as conflicted as the contrast between Lacey’s sunny mood and her serious situation. “She’s just the happiest little kid, and we’re thankful for all the things we have,” said Nick Ernst, who told those who are moved by Lacey’s plight that their prayers are even more appreciated than their donations. “At the same time, this is extremely hard to go through. She looks like a normal, healthy little girl, but she can’t go to school with other kids. Even if she didn’t catch a cold from them, she’d be like a turtle in the middle of a bunch of rabbits. She has no sense of balance, and if she gets knocked over, that’s bad news, because the anti-coagulant medicine she’s taking can make even minor bumps or bruises much worse.” While the Ernsts’ medical insurance will cover the bulk of the eventual surgery costs for Lacey, Nick still expects to incur about $50,000 in out-of-pocket expenses, and with the constant care and supervision that Lacey requires, including multiple doses of

WISE Women empowers business owners BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A new nonprofit organization known as WISE Women (Women Inspiring Successful Entrepreneurs), based in Marysville, is attracting female business owners from local areas who are looking to improve their business or even start a new one. WISE Women aims to facilitate personal and professional growth through focused workshops, and mastermind groups that create opportunities to strategize and connect with other professional women. WISE was founded by three local business women — Judy Bradley, owner of Better Your Business; Carin Weier, owner of Weier Wine Tasting, and Diane ‘Scotty’ Irwin, owner of The Design Company. A group of local entrepreneurs attended the organization’s focused workshop on June 5,. at the Holiday Inn Express in Marysville, to connect with other women and listen to speeches aimed at helping them stay balanced, and training

myself. A lot of women find that difficult,” she said. “That’s the power of choice. Do you want to be living on purpose or just trying to survive? Right now, I’m living my life on purpose, for me.” Irwin and Weier spoke about just how important it is for women to maintain positivity and openness in the business world. “When I got here this morning, I went into the wrong conference room and they were having another meeting,” said Irwin, who described the quiet and closed-off reactions of the meeting attendees in the other room. “I realized that I was in the wrong room, and when I came in here I immediately felt joy, appreciation and openness. What a difference it makes how we present ourselves.” WISE Women meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Holiday Inn Express, located at 8606 36th Ave. NE in Marysville. The next Mastermind Group is set for June 19 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Register for the next WISE event at www.AreYouAWiseWoman. eventbrite.com.

them on strategies for growing a business. “As business owners, we are really busy, but we have to take the time to fuel ourselves,” said Sue Simpson, a member of WISE Women, who started the meeting with empowerment strategies. “We need that support to remind us why we do what we do. You must remind yourselves how awesome, creative and beautiful you are.” Bradley led an inspirational presentation on how she was able to achieve a balance between life and work after going through a divorce and starting her own business shortly thereafter. “I’ve usually been very reactive,” she told the group. “You’re a mom, you’re a wife, you work. I was just reacting to everything that came along. But I realized that you have to pose yourself a question: ‘Are you living by choice or by chance?’ I was not going to let that define me. I was going to succeed.” Her determination to succeed resulted in the development of Better Your Business and ultimately WISE Women, in conjunction with Weier and Irwin. “I wasn’t used to investing in

According to Haley, “Serving others was never about impressions or good karma. For me it was changing who I was to be a better person. I embraced the chance I was given to serve my school, community, CoMMunity friends, and family through my commitment, humility, and kindness.” Embracing this chance, Haley and the Leadership program developed a variety of school-wide activities and traditions to meet the needs of our student body.

Young achievers fill me with hope

eports telling of young achievers who used their school years well give me a lift. I’m talking about valedictorians, scholarship winners, honors for excellence — stars, all of them. I savor every word about promising young people who are our best hope for the future. In turn, the young winners are grateful for parents, grandmas, grandpas, teachers, mentors, pastors and friends who helped them along the way. And we are all thankful for how they manage to shine against a societal background of violence and prejudice. In standing above rampant wrong-doing and laziness, this year’s crop of stars is the nation’s most precious resource. Today’s youngsters are faced with surviving the same minefields of distraction that too often ruin adults’ lives and end marriages. Or worse. It takes an active sense of right and wrong to keep from being pulled into enticing misadventures promising a kind of “fun” that textbooks and schools can’t offer. Yet this year’s crop of Bright Stars persevered to qualify them for helping to make the world a better place.

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

Skin-tones and foreign-sounding names of this year’s award winners should serve as a wake-up call to native-born American students. These kids spring from such various histories that many can’t help but be aggressively grateful for the opportunity of public schooling. And male students should take note that more females than males are taking top honors nowadays. One Herald photo of Rotary award recipients showed thirteen girls and four boys. What’s more, these award-winning students are on a road that will set them up as role-models for the next generation. Call it passing the flame. Let’s hope that beyond making good lives for themselves and their families, the winners’ efforts will cover the drain dropouts impose on society’s resources It makes a profound difference when youngsters and nurturing

adults share a sense of purpose while walking through life together, At the other end of the scale, we now and then see distance between kids and parents widen to where they relate only by reacting to one another. Such dysfunction dims carries into classrooms, leaving kids less apt to accept that education is necessary and that learning is a privilege and obligation. Across human history, youth has been programmed to learn by copying adult behavior. I tend to think that thousands of years of playing at spear-making, setting traps and nurturing straw-dolls set children’s brains up for how learning should be done. If so, children come to us hard-wired to learn as their ancestors did, all the way back into the dim beginnings of pre-history. What happens then if good role models for that kind of learning are absent? It happens. With parents off to work each day, kids are still wired to learn according to the tribal way. As Hillary said, it takes as village to raise as child. But if all significant role models disappear into work or play, kids select from whatever is at hand; peer groups, school leaders,

a single, continuous shot. This award-winning video featured the entire school and brought AHS national recognition for its spirit and inclusiveness. Most recently, the Leadership class completed the second-ever “Murrathon,” a school-wide fundraiser where teachers (inspired by Mr. Jon Murray) run a full 26.2-mile marathon in the AHS commons. The Murrathon events have raised over $4,000 and thousands of pounds of food for the Arlington Food Bank, $1,000 for the international Soles for Souls program, and $1,000 for the Arlington Kids’ Kloset program. In addition, the Leadership students have consistently made efforts to encourage kindness, humility, selflessness, and commitment at AHS through the annual Kindness Wall. The Kindness Wall is where students can post notes of gratitude or encouragement towards their peers or teachers. The Leadership class also organized the first-ever Eagle Spotlight assembly, recognizing both students and staff for their positive contributions to the culture of Arlington High School. These kinds of events would not have been possible without the passion and commitment of students

She consistently seeks out ways in which to celebrate the work of those around her, she is often one of the first to arrive and last to leave, and she improves the quantity and quality of the class’ work through her positive influence. “I have been less selfish and it feels good,” says Haley, “it feels good to change, to be better than you have ever been before.” Next fall, Haley will begin her freshman year at Western Washington University, where she plans to study biology.

images cast by entertainment or the streets. A harsh reality, but reality nevertheless. During most of the 20th Century and before, neighborhoods were populated by wellmeaning decent people who pioneered a gentler form of childabandonment. Because parents were of sober and industrious European stock, children were expected to be sober and industrious. No instruction needed. Parental guidance was typified by, “You play with that BB gun and you’re going to put someone’s eye out.” Or “No swimming until two hours after lunch or you’ll get a cramp and drown.” They meant well. As with every generation, yesterday’s parents glowed over children’s accomplishments and suffered from their mistakes. And from seeing parents bask in the former and wince from the latter, kids absorbed a sort of direction. They still do, but not as effectively as in days of yore. For lots of them, today’s big-deal experiences lie in video games, kinky sex, flaming explosions and assaults for insignificant reasons.

NYLAND FROM PAGE 4 classes, engage in online learning, but most importantly, keep growing your brain! Parents, if all of the above sounds familiar, it should. Our schools have been teaching this message to students over the past several years. Dr. Stephanie Fryberg, Director of Cultural Competency for our district, is one of the nation’s top researchers in this field. At a recent White House Conference she was asked about how to share these ideas across the country. Education is the key to our future. Future family wage jobs require at least one year of college. Lifetime earnings double with one year of college or vocation training beyond high school. To sustain and grow our community,

That’s action! Everything else pales in comparison, including school lessons, good advice, moral instruction and loving support. To paraphrase a World War I song, “How ya gonna keep ‘em down on the farm, after they’ve seen TV.” School lessons have trouble competing with gut-wrenching mayhem or hormonal urgings. Thank God for the many young people who don’t fall victim. This year’s crop of scholarship winners had enough inner discipline to stay focused on things of real importance. They managed, with parental guidance, to channel precious time and energy for arming themselves to cope with an uncertain future. It takes especially Good People to stand against attractive pitfalls that ensnare others while holding a focus on goals that lie off in the future. Thanks to you graduates for giving it your best. The obstacles were many and great but you overcame them. More thanks to parents and grandparents and others who helped to point the way. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

It is my parting request that we make this our collective moral and economic imperative. Marysville is leading the way in learning how to motivate more students to work hard, grow their brains and succeed. Our teachers are collaborating, using data, learning how to close learning gaps. Kudos to our teachers for their national recognition in using teams and data to improve student learning.

Quik Stop offers multicultural menu BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Not only has the gas station at 9515 State Ave. been reopened after an extended period of being vacant, but it’s gained an outlet for multicultural cuisine in the process. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and City Council members Steve Muller and Kamille Norton joined Paramjit Singh, owner of the new Quik Stop Gyro Pita Pit Indian Cuisine restaurant and gas station, in cutting the ribbon to his establishment on Tuesday, June 4. “It’s great what they’ve done to the inside of this place,” Nehring said. “It’s located conveniently right

off State Avenue, and it’s got fantastic cuisine that our family enjoys, and I’m sure others will as well.” Chicken masala seemed to be the favored choice among that day’s diners, as they partook of the restaurant’s $8.99 lunch buffet, that runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Singh’s 30-year career as a restauranteur began in New York City, and eventually led him to open a dining establishment in Oak Harbor in 2000, before his move from Mount Vernon to Everett two years ago left him looking for a less timeintensive commute to work. And yet, one of the most influential places he’s stayed was one of the most distant. “For a while, I worked in

Greece,” Singh said. “I liked Greece. I like Greek food, like the gyro sandwiches.” At the same time, Singh’s menu certainly doesn’t skimp on delicacies from his own culture, with distinctly Indian selections that include buttered chicken, lamb vindaloo, chicken and lamb masala, and garlic naan bread. One of his employees worked as the chef for Mannat Indian Cuisine, on 136th Street and State Avenue. “It’s all fresh food,” Singh said. “Our vegetables and meat are all fresh. We make it order by order. Indian food is very healthy food.” For more information, call the Quik Stop Gyro Pita Pit Indian Cuisine restaurant at 360-659-3531.

Arlington Flight Services’ self-serve fuel system and ramp expansion are already serving customers at the Arlington Municipal Airport.

AFS opens new fuel services, ramp BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — By the company’s own admission, its new features took a little while to arrive, but Arlington Flight Services’ self-serve fuel system and ramp expansion has opened and is ready for business. “We were on a bit of a sliding timeline,” said Lucas Smith, flight operations director for AFS. “There were a few details to hammer out.” Nonetheless, the new fuel tanks outside of the AFS hangar have always been part of the company’s overall strategy of becoming as much of a one-stop full-service shop as possible. “We even provide ethanolfree automotive fuel, which is increasingly difficult to come by,” said Smith, who also touted their 100 octane and jet fuels. “It’s another piece of the pie as far as revenue sources are concerned,

because it means we’re not paying a competitor to refuel our aircraft.” The new fuel tanks outside the AFS hangar are sitting on new asphalt as well, since the company installed a ramp that allows the business to service other pilots’ aircraft more easily. “Prior to this ramp extension, pilots had to park on the airport’s general aviation ramp and then come to us,” Smith said. “This way, potential customers don’t have to look for us, and we can do just about whatever maintenance they need. A delay of even 10 minutes can be incredibly frustrating, so we want to be able to take care of them right here.” Smith acknowledged that the new ramp also facilitates the company’s flight instruction business. “It’s nice to be able to fuel up our own aircraft, and to be able to move in and out so smoothly,” Smith said.

“We always love to have folks come out to talk to us about getting trained up as pilots. It’s such a unique experience to be able to fly your own aircraft. It’s so different from being a passenger in bigger planes. You get a unique viewpoint of the whole Pacific Northwest this way, that you really can’t capture any other way.” The AFS self-serve fuel system and ramp expansion were ready for the scheduled arrival of Jack Wiegand, the youngest person to fly solo around the world, to the Arlington Municipal Airport, and to the AFS hangar in particular, on the weekend of Saturday, June 8. “He touched down in Japan, and then Anchorage,” Smith said. “We were his first scheduled stop in the lower 48.” For more information on AFS, log onto their website at www.arlingtonflightservices.com.

to any and all students long before the start of the day, during the entire lunch period and after school,” said Delgado, who added that McReynolds has also worked to have her Key Club students formally recognized at PTSA meetings. “Jennifer also communicates with parents on a regular basis, updating her grades every two weeks, and sending out individual progress reports home with students.”

France involved students who can’t afford to take part in after-school sports in a program called “Intramurals,” which takes place after school on days when school lets out early, “This has had a tremendous impact on the spirit of the students, by giving them healthy competition and the opportunity to try new things,” said Sandra Duplessis, president of the Marysville Getchell PTSA. “It helps to foster school pride, and has increased their desire to do well in school.”

ARLINGTON — At the age of 18, homeschooled Arlington violinist Sarah Hall’s second live performance on KING FM 98.1 on Friday, May 24, was but the latest accomplishment in a short but fruitful life of accolades. Hall was one of the top 11 finalists in the 2013 KING FM Young Artist Awards, and was named the upper division winner for ages 14-20, which afforded her up to 22 minutes of performance time that evening on the air, after she’d already been broadcast by the station on May 3. According to proud mom Carla Hall, Sarah’s career as a violinist began when her grandparents, Tom and Barbara Hall, presented her with a 1/16th-scale violin for her fourth birthday. From there, Sarah made her solo debut at the age of 10, with the Port Gardner Bay Chamber Orchestra, after winning the Snohomish County Music Teacher’s Association Concerto Competition. At the age of 14, Sarah

SFE Principal Dave Rose singled out Mikesell for sponsoring the annual Holiday Bazaar to help support the school’s Future Business Leaders of America. “This event has grown out of several existing spaces, and now occupies the entire Charger Outlet and gymnasium,” said Rose, who noted that Mikesell successfully led the charge to host FBLA’s regional student meeting on the Marysville Getchell campus in 2012. “With more than 100 vendors, it is an event the community looks forward to each December.” Duplessis summed up Lefstad as an educator who doesn’t limit her assistance to her students to the confines of her classes. “Emily takes on special time for students who want to be challenged with higher level thinking,” Duplessis said. “She goes far beyond teacher hours to help her

Girl Scouts support food bank

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

MARYSVILLE — Before school let out for the summer, a group of students from the International School of Communications saw their labors over the course of the past year and a half finally bear fruit on the big screen. “Freshmeat” made its premiere in the MarysvillePilchuck High School auditorium on Thursday, May 23, as Michael Cozart, a 17-yearold senior at ISC who served as the film’s director, and Jake Siriani, a 16-year-old ISC junior who was the film’s producer, joined ISC instructor Andrew Christopher in sharing how it all got started in February of 2012. “Last February, two students and I began looking for a script we could use for a new class,” Christopher said. “We held auditions last spring, and began filming in September, wrapping up at the end of the semester in January.” “When we did find the screenplay that we wanted, we had to edit it to be appropriate for airing at school,” Siriani said. “That trimmed a 140-page script by about 40 pages,” Cozart said.

ARLINGTON — Arlington-area Girl Scouts danced and donated for a good cause at the Arlington Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Thursday, May 30. Nearly 30 Girl Scouts and their dance partners took to the floor for the second annual Service Unit 215 “He and Me” sock-hop, hosted by the Cadette Scouts of Troop 42168. The 1950s-themed event drew Girl Scouts from Arlington, Marysville and Lake Stevens, as they dressed up in poodle skirts and ponytails to dance with older brothers, uncles and dads. The Cadette Scouts offered lessons on how to dance the Stroll, the Hand Jive and the Bunny Hop, in addition to providing a photo booth with a frame craft, a ‘50s-era board game station, a hula-hoop contest, a marbles station and refreshments. Cadette mom Kim Stevenson credited the Girl Scouts with bringing in 20 cans of fruit for the Arlington Community Food Bank, a number she’d like to see increase for the third annual “He and Me” dance that’s already being planned. “We’re contemplating a luau theme for that one,”

From left, International School of Communications students Khalyn King, Luis Perez and Michael Cozart took part in filming ‘Freshmeat’ for a full year. Fortunately for the ISC students, scriptwriter ShaDon Manigault gave them his blessing, and since he’d produced the screenplay as a student at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia, they didn’t need to pay him royalties. “What really worked about this script was that it was set at a school,” Cozart said. “There were a few house scenes, but about 90 percent of the filming that we had to do, we could do during the school day.” “It’s also relatable for our age group,” said Siriani, who counted 187 student actors’ faces who appeared on camera during the 75-minute

film. “You can show it to kids who are being bullied, and you can show it to kids if they are the bully.” “There were about 30-50 students with speaking roles,” Cozart said. “Because we could only film 53 minutes at a time during class, we only spent 105 hours on filming. We’ve spent at least 90 hours over the course of the past semester just editing it, which adds up to a total of 400 hours of editing since we started. We only just finished editing it the week before the premiere.” Christopher commended the students on their commitment to the less glamorous aspects of filmmaking, and explained that he’s spoken with city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew about the possibility of airing “Freshmeat” as a “Movie in the Park” in June.

Eric and Abby Stevenson are all smiles at the May 30 ‘He and Me’ sock-hop, hosted by the Cadette Scouts of Troop 42168. Stevenson said. “I think if we’d picked a Friday night for this year’s dance, we might have gotten a bit more participation, but everything went very smoothly.” In addition to pitching in for a local charitable cause, the dance was designed to serve as a bonding opportunity for the girls and their guys, as well as a moneyearning opportunity for the Cadettes, who were afforded the opportunity to learn about budgeting as they plan for a summer trip to Port Townsend. “Planning the dance was kinda a big challenge, but

it helped me learn about responsibility,” Cadette Hallie Simbeck said. Although Stevenson agreed that organizing such an event required the Girl Scouts to shoulder some significant responsibilities, she saw satisfaction on their faces by the time the dance was done. “It felt pretty awesome, seeing the dance all set up and ready for our guests, after weeks and weeks of meetings, discussions, planning, phone-calling and hard work,” said Grace Simbeck, an Ambassador Girl Scout. “It turned out better than I expected.”

Eagles’ Passalacqua reflects on senior seasons lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — With high school sports becoming more and more competitive, it’s increasingly rare when an athlete has the opportunity to lead their team to a state championship. With the effort, dedication and practice required to advance to state in a single sport, it’s even more rare that an athlete has the opportunity to advance in three sports. This year at Arlington High School, senior A.J. Passalacqua managed just that — leading his teams to state in football, basketball and track and field — all while succeeding academically. “This year is the first time I’ve actually gone to state at all,” said Passalacqua. “I was so fortunate to be able to go three times in one year.” Passalacqua has been playing football for 10 years, starting with the Arlington Youth Football Association. At AHS, he competed on

the freshman football team in his first year and was selected to play on the varsity team at the end of the season. “I was on varsity in my sophomore year, and incorporated onto the special teams,” said Passalacqua, who plays both as a tight end and a punter. “My junior year is when I took a major part on the team.” His influence on the field only deepened each year. “Honestly, there were so many good kids in the class above me that I wanted to prove myself,” said Passalacqua, who was a captain of the team. “I was stepping into a role that wasn’t supposed to be mine at the beginning of the season, and filling that role.” The Eagles qualified for the postseason and fought Camas in the first round of the WIAA 4A Football Championships at Doc Harris Stadium on Nov. 10. Although the team’s championship plans were defeated on the field, the experience

Arlington’s A.J. Passalacqua was captain of the Eagles’ basketball team and competed in the Hardwood Classic basketball championships in February.

“Arlington is truly a town that loves to watch their sports, and it’s fun to perform in front of them and make them proud.” A.J. Passalacqua Arlington High School of playing with a close group of friends would prove most valuable of all. “Everyone on the team is literally like my family, I would not have wanted to experience that with anyone else,” Passalacqua said. “I’ve been playing football with those guys since we were kids, and that was our dream, to go to the state playoffs. Our ultimate dream was to win the championship and we fell short of that, but being with those guys was great.” Once football season ended, Passalacqua started his fourth year on the Eagles’ varsity basketball team, this year as a captain. The Eagles advanced to the Hardwood Classic, kicking out Richland in an intense 72-60 first game on Feb. 28 at the Tacoma Dome. “Winning that first game at state, knowing we were advancing on, was amazing,” said Passalacqua. “We knew that as a team we were something special, and we wanted to take advantage of that and keep working as a team.” After losing to Jackson in the quarterfinals, the Eagles ultimately took fifth place at the state championships. And once basketball season was over, Passalacqua returned once again to track and field. “I started in seventh grade and I was originally doing long distance because my

brother ran long distance and he inspired me,” said Passalacqua. “Along the way I picked up javelin because it just looked fun.” He didn’t know at the time that the javelin he picked up for kicks would eventually place him on a state championship podium. “One of my good friends, Blake McPherson, his dad was my coach this year, and he lives up the road from me and I would go and get advice,” said Passalacqua, who noted that Paul McPherson is the current old javelin record-holder, while his son is the new javelin record-holder. “I learned from them and did whatever I could to go to state.” All of the training paid off on May 24, when Passalacqua went down to Tacoma once again, this time to compete in the javelin throw. He took fifth place overall, bringing home a medal for his throw of 172-05. His overall success as a leader doesn’t stop at athletics either. He received three scholarships at the Senior Scholarship Award Ceremony at Arlington High School, including the Superintendent’s Scholar “Leadership with Heart Award” from Dr. Kristine McDuffy, the Dwayne Lane’s Arlington Chevrolet Scholar/Athlete Scholarship and the Afton Chapter Order of the Eastern Star

Sue Passalacqua, A.J.’s mom, noted that the Arlington community played a role in supporting the Passalacqua family. “We are fortunate to be in a community that is so caring,” she said. “Both my husband and I are in the military, and on several occasions, either when my husband was deployed or I was deployed — and on one occasion we were both deployed at the same time — our families and friends helped care for our boys, including helping to get them to and from their practices and games.” A.J. is just as thankful for his family, friends, coaches and community. “The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for anybody better to play for,” he said. “Arlington is truly a town that loves to watch their sports, and it’s fun to perform in front of them and make them proud. I had the

honor of being football and basketball captain. My teammates picked both of those and the coaches had a say in it. Each of the teams was a big part of my life that I will never forget. In the end we came together and just bonded, and played how we always dreamed of playing. We all loved each other no matter what happened on and off the court and the field.” Passalacqua is planning to attend Western Washington University in the fall to pursue a career in supply chain management and hopes to walk on to their track team. He took time to thank all the people who helped him achieve his goals. “I just want to say thank you to Holly Christmas, Paul McPherson, John Boyden and Guy Kennedy for everything they have taught me. It means so much to me. And I want to thank my parents and family for always being there and supporting me. I love them will all my heart.”

Post Middle School seventh-grader Hallie Williams placed fourth in state and third overall for the series. Eighth-grader Tagan Walker, also from Post Middle School, placed ninth in state and eighth overall. “For Beginner Girls, the teams had an exciting finish,” said Klippert. “Arlington Composite junior Kayla Lampert placed first, beating her Lakewood

High School teammate, junior Dana Arenz, by just five seconds.” Lampert took first place overall, while Arenz took third place overall for the series. Junior varsity racer Elle Lee took third place at state and third place overall for the series. Lakewood’s Gavin Sitter took fourth place in the boys competition, while Sam Oakes of the Arlington Composite team took sixth place. Wesley Holboy took 17th place and Chris

Nelson, an Arlington senior, took 30th place. Lakewood sophomore, Charles Davis, placed 13th in the Beginner Boys category. “Not feeling well at the start of the race, Chris’ main goal was to finish for team points,” said Klippert. “It’s a good thing that he did race, because Arlington teammate Glenn Gamboa, who was racing in the Beginner Boys category, broke his chain and Chris was able to hand off a multi-tool as he passed the disabled bike on

the course. Glenn fixed his bike and finished 14th.” The Washougal Challenge marked the end of the mountain biking season, and the athletes wanted to thank the community for its support. “They are grateful to the support of their families and team sponsors Sports Buzz Coffee, Arlington Velo Sports, the Silvana Firefighters Association, Everett Bone and Joint, and Expressive Fit Yoga,” said Klippert.

Eagle Creek first-graders become novelists

ARLINGTON — Christine Cobb’s first-grade students have become novelists. Like their peers in the four classrooms of first-graders at Eagle Creek Elementary, Cobb’s students prepared “self-published novels” for the school’s “Young Authors Day” on Friday, June 7, but before they could show off their literary output, they had to hone their skills in class. “We focused a lot on rewriting, which they didn’t like,” Cobb laughed. “It was important that they understood that first drafts are rarely perfect. We looked for things like spelling mistakes, and reread the stories to make sure they made sense.” Since the stories were fictional, they had a bit more leeway on how much they had to make sense, but regardless of the subject matter — which ranged from outer space to “color poems” — Cobb encouraged her students to engage in descriptive writing. “Many of the stories ranged between four and five sentences,” Cobb said. “A few students wrote about outer space adventures because we’d studied the planets. Color poems try to attach adjectives and feelings to a chosen color. But really, they were free to write any kind of fiction.” Shayena Hoberg-Schamel wrote “The Adventure in Space,” as follows: “Once upon a time there was three friends and they went to space. They met an alien named Georgia. Georgia liked the three friends named Shayena, Sarah and Abbie. The alien attacked because

she wasn’t a real friend. They escaped the night after she caught them and went home. The End.” The fact that HobergSchamel shares a first name with one of the characters is no coincidence, since she was inspired to write herself and her friends into her story. Lillian JaGarde’s “Red Color Poem” summed up her impressions of the color as follows: “Red tastes like a sweet strawberry cupcake. “Red looks like a shiny round cherry. “Red smells like a sugary raspberry pie. “Red sounds like a rose blowing in a breeze. “Red feels like sticky cotton candy.” Starlah Harman took a more prosaic approach to color with “The Blue Princess,” as follows: “Once upon a time there was a Blue Princess and her favorite color was blue. She had a blue dress, blue hair and blue eyes. She loved a prince that was blue. She talked to him everyday and finally the prince came up to her castle. The evil witch saw the prince. She said you prince get out of my castle now!!! Then the prince asked the princess to marry him and she said yes I will, and they lived happily ever after. The evil witch found a boy witch and they lived happily ever after too. The End.” As for Bryson Gollihr, his multi-page story of a cougar riding a dirt bike drew from a favorite pastime and some words of warning. “My family rides dirt bikes together, and it’s fun,” Gollihr said. “I chose a cougar because it’s an animal you have to be careful of. It can jump on you while you’re hunting.”

Carnival, BBQ cook-off come to Smokey Point BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce wants community members to know that the Arlington Fly-In and Old-Fashioned Fourth aren’t the only big events slated for this summer, nor is the Fly-In the only summer event that will take place in Smokey Point. Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber, hopes to see plenty of families and other festival-goers at the Chamber’s first Kiddies’ Carnival, at the intersection of 172nd Street and 51st Avenue, from June 27-30. “We’ve got nine rides in all,” Harmon said. “There’s three for teens and older — the Zipper, the Scrambler

ad the Cyclone. There’s three for families and kids between 10-15 years old — a giant slide, a Tilt-aWhirl and a fun house with a ‘ghost pirate’ theme. And there’s three for little kids — Goofyville, where they can crawl through an open maze; Hot Rod, which is a circular track for first-time riders; and the Galaxy Swing, which is a very slow, gentle version of the ones that look like the big umbrella that your car hangs from, that spins you around.” Harmon touted the longevity and safety practices of Butler Amusements, the company providing the rides, and further promised the presence of food vendors. The Kiddies’ Carnival will run from 4-10 p.m. on Thursday, June 27; from 4-11 p.m. on Friday, June 28; from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on

for EVERYTHING

Saturday, June 29; and from noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 30. “Tickets are going for $15 if you buy ahead of time, or $19 at the gate,” Harmon said. “The carnival is also looking at selling tickets for little kids who only want to go on one or two of the rides.” Tickets can be purchased by calling the Chamber at 360-659-5453, or by buying them from the Smokey Point Walmart or the Coastal Community Bank on Smokey Point Boulevard. From Aug. 16-18, the Chamber invites the public to attend its second annual barbecue cook-off, which will be officially sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association this year. “Saturday, Aug. 17, is going to be the big day for that one,” Harmon said. “We’re going to have not only competition cooking, but also cooks selling their wares, and they’re going to be coming from all over Washington, Oregon, Idaho and even British Columbia.” While prizes for the PNWBA competition will reach as high as thousands of dollars, an informal local barbecue cook-off will take place on June 18, with a first place of a brand-new barbecue set from the Smokey Point Walmart.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville musician Bradford Loomis has lived the adage that it can take years to become an overnight success. Loomis recently celebrated the release of his new album, “Into the Great Unknown,” with a series of shows in Wenatchee, Snohomish and Seattle, but his music career would never have been promoted from being a lifelong hobby if he hadn’t gotten laid off from Verizon. “I backed into doing music as a career,” Loomis said. “I went the responsible route and got a 9-to-5 job to pay for a house and support a wife and three kids, but when I lost the job, I went into hustler mode. I needed to provide for my family, I’d always wanted to be a musician, and now, I had nothing left to lose by giving it a try. I just wish I’d been more attentive in my business classes,” he laughed. Although Loomis developed an appreciation for music through choir, band and orchestra as he was growing up, he credits

Marysville musician Bradford Loomis made his hobby his career after being laid off by Verizon. former Marysville school music teacher Stuart Hunt with helping him connect to it, beyond just emulating the singers that he heard on the radio. “Mr. Hunt was a phenomenal teacher,” said Loomis, whose preferred flavor of sound has become what he regards as the roots of American folk music. “I’ve always been fascinated by our nation’s history, and the stories that are rooted in it. Songs like ‘On the Banks of the Ohio’ are about reallife events in American history. I sing songs about slavery and the other things that this country has gone through. It’s a way to inform people of our history while expressing my emotions about it through a narrative. If we forget our history, we’re doomed to repeat it.”

With his long, thick beard and his quiet speaking voice, Loomis himself admits that his personality might have been better-suited to those past eras, as he waxes rhapsodic about what his life would have been like in the 19th century as a Midwestern settler, a Texas ranch-hand or a drifter on the railroads or the Mississippi River. In the real world of the modern day, he hopes to develop his career as much as he has his skills, and he invites his fellow Marysville residents to check out his upcoming performance at the Wintercourt Coffeehouse, located at 7314 44th Ave. NE, on Friday, June 14, starting at 7 p.m. For ticket prices, music samples and more information, log onto www.bradfordloomis.com.
