Silvana Fair honors past, looks to future BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SILVANA — Last year’s Silvana Fair was the first in more than 40 years to be held without longtime Fair Board President Roy Strotz, but this year’s Silvana Fair marked a number of other passages during its otherwise festive day in the summer sun on Saturday, July 27. “We always know the sun will shine on the Silvana Fair,” said Lynn Pattison, vice president of the Silvana Fair Board, as she noted that the memorial garden on the Silvana Fairgrounds adjacent to the Viking Hall now pays tribute to other Fair Board members, besides Strotz, who have since passed on. “We started recognizing previous Fair Board members who had passed away and I’ve tried to get a complete list. Last year, we added about 21 markers, and this year I did some more research and was able to add 13 more. I hope we haven’t missed anyone, but if we have, people should be sure to let us know.” According to Pattison, what those Fair Board members of the past worked for was the future of farming in this area, SEE FAIR, PAGE 9

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington is facing a deadline in August. After the Marysville City Council voted unanimously on June 24 to prohibit medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens within the city of Marysville, the Arlington City Council was reminded by city of Arlington Community Development Director Paul Ellis, during their July 22 workshop meeting, that they only have one meeting left, on Aug. 5, to hold a public hearing and vote on a similar prohibition, before Arlington’s temporary moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens is due to sunset on Aug. 14. The Arlington City Council has been extending its six-month moratoriums on medical marijuana dispensaries and col-

lective gardens since Aug. 15, 2011, and at their July 22 meeting, Ellis touted the proposed ordinance to amend the Arlington Municipal Code, “to clarify that medical marijuana dispensaries and collective gardens are not permitted uses under city zoning law,” as a means of ensuring that the city of Arlington’s standards will be consistent with those of the cities of Marysville and Lake Stevens, since representatives of all three cities have worked together on this issue. “This is a belt-and-suspenders approach,” Arlington City Attorney Steve Peiffle said. “We’re relying on both the state and federal government to guide our local laws here.” The proposed ordinance quotes the Washington State Department of Health’s conclusions that it is not legal to buy or SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 10

Three candidates vie for Arlington City Council Position 7

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — With three candidates and no incumbents, the race for Position 7 is the only one on the Arlington City Council appearing on the Aug. 6 primary ballot. The Arlington Times spoke with candidates Mike Hopson, Scott Keith and Jan Schuette about what they believe to be the biggest issues facing the city, as well as what qualifications they believe they would bring to the City Council.

Mike Hopson “The recent recession has caused a reduction of revenues available to the city,” said Hopson, who acknowledged the challenge of providing a full range of government services on a tight budget. “Our financial director often borrows from one city fund and deposits those monies into a different city fund in order to pay the bills. It’s obvious that raising taxes alone will not solve the city’s budget problem.” Hopson recommends aggressively concentrating on core government services, including utilities, public safety and transportation, along with a more efficient use of municipal airport and rail services to attract good-paying manufacturing jobs, particularly in the manufacturing industrial zone. “As presented by the economic consultants hired by the city, these are the kinds of jobs that Arlington can actually get, as opposed to ‘Big Box’ retail stores,” Hopson said. “If we procrastinate, other municipalities will snatch them away from us.” Hopson held up his facility with numbers as a retired mathematics instructor, as well as the familiarity with these issues that he’s gained through attending nearly every City Council meeting for the past three

years, in addition to serving as an Airport Commissioner and taking part in selling and leasing government property to business owners. “My life experiences as a Hawaii college instructor and course designer, my time spent on a Montana cattle ranch and overseas teaching children in West Africa, as well as playing in an Alaskan country rock band, have also given me an exceptionally unique perspective on people and politics,” Hopson said. Hopson first got involved in politics through his election as Board president of an Alaska Community Mental Health Association, but in spite of enjoying that experience, he had originally no plans to run for elected office in Arlington, and even declined to apply for a Council position in a previous election cycle. “I eventually decided that I had inadvertently prepared myself to serve on the City Council,” Hopson said. “I have no hidden agenda. I am not an advocate for any special interest. My sole purpose is to serve the public interest, and I am free to do just that. I believe ethics in government and good decisionmaking go hand in hand, and I will approach controversial issues and tough choices in an evenhanded way, asking probing questions and insisting that all the facts are in before making any decisions.”

Scott Keith “At the last election, our reserves were under $100,” said Keith, who echoed Hopson in describing the lack of funds in the city’s reserve as one of his primary concerns. “At the end of 2013, they’ve projected that the reserves will be 16 percent of the city’s policy. While this is a good step in the right direction, Arlington needs to continue working to get to 100 percent of the reserve policy.”

To that end, Keith likewise advocates fiscal responsibility by finding ways of increasing revenue without also increasing taxes. “The city needs to look at bringing in more businesses, especially in the industrial areas surrounding the airport,” Keith said. “We need to look at bringing in more tourism dollars, and maintaining a balanced budget, which includes contributing to the reserve funds.” Keith described himself as “the only candidate who comes from a small business background,” having run his own business in the past, which he credited with familiarizing him with the challenges facing other small business owners. “I believe that the government owes it to its citizens to be good stewards of the money that it receives,” said Keith, who touted the endorsement of outgoing Position 7 City Council member Ken Klein. “I have a business background, while my opponents are both educators. I am a strong supporter of our Constitutional rights, including the right to bear arms. I have the experience that Arlington needs to get through the economic challenges we are facing.” Keith attributed his lifelong interest in politics to living just outside of Washington, D.C., during his high school years. At the same time, Keith and his wife have resided in Arlington for almost five years, and plan to raise their son in their adoptive hometown. “I’ve enjoyed serving on the Parks, Arts and Recreation Committee, and with Ken leaving the City Council, it was the right time to run,” Keith said. “When a City Council member is sworn in, they pledge to uphold the federal and state Constitutions. I take that oath very seriously, and believe that our rights aren’t something that leg-

islators should be compromising. Arlington needs a Council member who understands our personal and property rights, who will be fiscally and ethically responsible, and who has the background to spur business growth bringing in more revenue.”

Jan Schuette “We need to restore our fire and police departments personnel to an adequate level,” Schuette said, when asked to identify Arlington’s most pressing concern. “The fire department responded to 3,800 calls in 2012. In 2013, those numbers have already increased by 7 percent. Eighty-five percent of those calls were for EMTs. Our police department has three officers on duty during the day, and two on duty at night. They’ve responded to 25,167 calls, resulting in 3,290 case reports. Each department is critically short of at least two individuals.” As such, Schuette has called for a sustainable tax base, by taking advantage of the growing manufacturing and aerospace industries, to retain Arlington’s current businesses while drawing new enterprises. “It’s imperative we provide adequate roads not only for our citizens, but also for transporting goods and services,” Schuette said. “To provide a workforce attractive to new companies, we need to expand our job training and retraining opportunities for adults, as well as our students.” After being appointed by the Governor to the State Council on Vocational Education, Schuette spent 18 years working with businesses and industry to implement relevant job skills in the high school curriculum. “During those years, I managed large numbers of students, supervised hundreds of employees and

worked with thousands of community volunteers,” said Schuette, whose school district administration experience in those 18 years Mike Hopson ranged from vocational director to high school principal. “Those key leadership positions taught me how to listen to all sides Scott Keith of an issue and do the research, to make sure I have all the information before making a decision.” Schuette also spent several years working Jan Schuette with judges, lawyers, parole officers and juvenile justice staff to provide training to at-risk youth and adults. “The knowledge and skills I gained working with a diverse range of organizations and issues related to training our work force will provide a perspective not currently available on the City Council,” Schuette said. Schuette began attending City Council meetings last summer to better understand how its decisions were being made. “Over the months, I was impressed with how the City and Council are making plans with a vision for the future of Arlington 10 years down the road,” said Schuette, who is endorsed by the Arlington Firefighters Union Local 3728. “I would like to be a part of that vision.”

Trio faces off in race for LWSD Director District 1

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — Registered voters in the Lakewood area have received their ballots for the Aug. 6 primary election which includes the race for the Lakewood School District’s Director District 1 position. Oscar Escalante, Pete Espinoza and Michael Blank are hoping to make positive changes to Lakewood schools, and spoke about the issues facing the district and what sets them apart.

Lionel ‘Pete’ Espinoza “Right now, the biggest issue we face is infrastructure,” said Espinoza. “We have to work on getting the funds ready to get the elementary, middle and high school up to par. I’ve been here since 1995 and haven’t seen much in the way of infrastructure improvement. There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, repainted and rebuilt.” Espinoza is the father of Lakewood students who are involved in the school’s athletic program, and he hopes to focus on improving the district’s sports facilities. “My big thing is track,” he said. “My kids run track and cross country, and the coaches would like to see resurfacing for the track. All the sports facilities seriously need attention, from the tennis courts to the softball and baseball fields. It’s the little things that have run down over time and need to be replaced. If we were to have new equipment, the athletes themselves would want to play and be proud to be from

Lakewood. Academics are essential, but a well-rounded sports program also plays a vital role for leadership, fitness and communication. These, along with academics, will go a long way to creating well-rounded students at Lakewood.” Having worked previously with the schools’ athletic programs, Espinoza said he has the determination to help improve the district. Having spent almost 30 years as a member of the United States Navy, Espinoza hopes that he can introduce students to military life and use connections he’s made with the military to better the education of students in the district. “I believe that I’m ready to go in there with some tenacity,” he said. “I’ve got some projects on my mind that I want to introduce to the district. Being a veteran and working for the Navy for 27 years, I have a lot of contacts with people for the projects I want, such as having Lakewood take on the Naval Junior ROTC program and get that started within the next four years or so.”

their input. That takes a lot of work and it’s not going to be something that’s going to be easy. I think it’s important to be clear and transparent to the community to provide information so that they can make the right decision.” Escalante has been a member of the board for 12 years and sees his experience as an advantage to reaching his goals for the district. “I think that in order to be effective in the community one has to have an understanding of how schools operate,” he said. “I have been working in the district for the last 12 years, and even before that I was a PTA member and PTA president for Cougar Creek Elementary.” Escalante said he has learned a lot from his experience on the board and from interacting with local superintendents. “A lot of it is learning how we as a community can make decisions that will impact the education of our kids,” Escalante said. “One has to know how to work with that, and I believe that’s one of the things that sets me apart. We have been making great strides, and our kids are getting an education that, in my opinion, is providing them with the tools they need to be ready to compete in the economy. Being a board member is not just something that happens overnight — a board member needs to understand exactly the dynamics and structure of the district they represent. That doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process. Lakewood is going into its next phase. We are going to be

100 years old next year, so we need to modernize our school and bring the classrooms to the 21st century, and improve the overall safety and security for the kids in our schools. I think that’s a priority.”

Michael Blank “We are looking to build a new high school eventually, and right now we have three elementary schools, a middle school and a high school,” said Blank. “I think it would be so much easier to raze the buildings and build one giant building, with five different wings for each of the schools. With one giant building, administration costs will be cheaper — we would have one principal instead of five, cutting out a quarter million in salary costs that we could put back into teachers’ salaries.” Blank said his trade school education and career sets him apart from other candidates. “The biggest obstacle to face these kids is six months after they graduate college, whether or not they have found a job, the government is going to want them to start paying back the $75,000 in student loans,” he said. “We need to drop the stigma that says you can’t be a plumber, or an electrician, or a truck driver.” Blank believes focusing on skilled trades and technical education will help support kids who may not succeed with a college degree in this economy. “We want to fill these kids’ heads with dreams of grandeur and we never want to dash their hopes,”

BUSINESS DIRECTORY Oscar Escalante

“I believe that working with the community and trying to pass a bond to for the renovation of Lakewood High School and other schools is our biggest task right now,” said Escalante. “We need to be working very closely with the community, including the business community, and that will be challenging in a sense, considering the way things are right now with the economy. We want the community to understand that we are seeking

he said. “But the problem is, if we don’t tell them about reality, they will be working for minimum wage and realizing that it costs more to Lionel Espinoza go to work and keep a child in daycare than to not work at all. No one explains to these kids that the cost of daycare is $400 per week, and if they Oscar Escalante are making $10 an hour, they are losing money by working. We need to prepare them for things like this, but we never do. We are afraid to say that Michael Blank the emperor has no clothes. We have forgotten common sense. A college degree does not, at this point, guarantee a living wage. Two men can work at a fast food restaurant — one with a college degree and one without. The one with the degree spent a lot of money, going through the motions, completing his school work — but now he is thousands of dollars in debt and both men are still asking, ‘Do you want fries with that?’ We need to come up with an education plan and say, ‘This is how we fix the problem.’ That is my goal.”

he Washington state legislature deserves thanks for not caving in to demands from Boeing and others to require yet another study of fish consumption rates in Washington to tell us what we already know: Our rate is too low and does not protect most of us who live here. It wasn’t easy. A Senate measure requiring another study before beginning rulemaking on a new rate was tied to passage of the state budget, and nearly led to a government shutdown. Boeing and others have been trying to stop or delay development of a new rate because they say it would increase their cost of doing business. The fish consumption rate is part of the human health standards used by state government to determine how much pollution is allowed to be put in our waters. The 20-year-old rate of 6.5 grams per day — about one eight-ounce seafood meal per month — is supposed to protect us from more than 100 toxins that can cause illness or death. It’s a sad fact that Washington has one of the highest seafood-eating populations, but uses one of the lowest fish consumption rates in the country to regulate water pollution and protect human health. Another study could have delayed development of a new rate for three years or more.

CHILD CARE & SCHOOL DIRECTORY

BILLY FRANK, JR. Tribes have been reaching out to business and industry to discuss implementation of a new fish consumption rate. We are sensitive to possible economic impacts of a higher rate, and we want to continue working together to create a meaningful path forward. But those efforts have largely been ignored, and that’s too bad, because we have solved bigger issues than this by working together. We are encouraged, however, by the actions of Dennis McLerran, regional Environmental Protection Agency administrator. He has stepped forward to express his agency’s commitment to protecting water quality and human health in Washington. In a recent letter to Maia Bellon, director of the state Department of Ecology, McLerran pledged to support the state in developing a more accurate fish consumption rate. He made it clear, however, that if the state can’t or won’t get the job done, he will use his authority to establish a new

rate. “The EPA believes there are scientifically sound regional and local data in Washington that are sufficient for Ecology to move forward in choosing a protective and accurate fish consumption rate at this time,” McLerran wrote. Ecology director Bellon has said that we could have a more accurate fish consumption rate adopted by late 2014, and we intend to hold her to that. Oregon has increased its fish consumption rate to a more realistic 175 grams per day; we think Washington residents deserve at least that much protection. We’re spending too much money, time and effort to clean up and protect Puget Sound and other waters to let business and industry continue to pollute those same waters. Right now we are paying for our state’s low fish consumption rate with the cost of our health, and that’s not right. Developing a more accurate fish consumption rate isn’t about jobs versus the environment. It isn’t just an Indian issue. It’s a public health issue and needs to be treated that way. We can’t allow politics to trump common sense when it comes to protecting our own health and that of future generations.

Former MPD officer heads to arbitration over firing BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Former Marysville Police Officer Derek Carlile was fired by the city of Marysville in May of this year, after his daughter died in March of last year from being shot by a handgun that he’d left unattended, but the Marysville Police Officers Association has filed a grievance on Carlile’s behalf and an arbitration hearing is tentatively set for this fall. According to city of Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima, the arbitration hearing looks likely to take place in October, although she can’t con-

firm an exact date yet, and the respective attorneys for the city and the Marysville Police Officers Association are still working out the details of who will serve as the outside arbitrator. “There’s not a lot to say about it at this point,” said Hirashima, who confirmed that the Marysville Police Officers Association filed its grievance on May 30, after the city announced Carlile’s firing on May 6. “We’re following the dispute process outlined by our labor contract, and we’ll abide by the ruling of the hearing officer who serves as our outside arbitrator.” Carlile was sworn into the Marysville Police Department on

Sept. 28, 2009, and placed on paid administrative leave shortly after the March 11, 2012, death of his 7-year-old daughter, who was shot the day before by her 3-year-old brother, when Carlile left his children unattended in the family van with his unsecured handgun. The Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office charged Carlile with second-degree manslaughter on May 22, 2012, to which he pled not guilty at a June 5, 2012, arraignment in Snohomish Superior Court, but prosecutors declined to retry the case after it ended in a mistrial on Nov. 13, 2012, due to a deadlocked jury.

“We’re following the dispute process outlined by our labor contract, and we’ll abide by the ruling of the hearing officer who serves as our outside arbitrator.” Gloria Hirashima Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Department’s internal affairs investigation into the case began on Jan. 8 of this year, making sure to wait until after the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office had completed its own investigation, after which the city of Marysville announced Carlile’s firing. Carlile was fired for committing a negligent act, endangering himself or others, not promoting

a positive image as a police officer and conduct unbecoming a police officer. “It’s a very difficult position for a lot of people,” Hirashima said. “It’s a true tragedy all the way around. We’re just looking to try and make a decision here, but we’re very sympathetic to all the individuals involved, including Carlile and his family.”

Duck Dash raises more than $170,000 ARLINGTON — The Rotary Club of Arlington’s 25th annual Great Stilly Duck Dash raised more than $170,000 on July 4 at Haller Park. Tom Lane, representing the Duck Dash’s first-time $10,000 Platinum Sponsor Dwayne Lane’s, was on hand at Haller Park to congratulate the winners of the rubber duck race. “Last year, the Duck Dash had a record-breaking year at $65,000,” Duck Dash Chair Cindy Huleatt said. “For the 25th anniversary of the Duck Dash, the Rotary Club of Arlington set an ambitious goal to keep its support of community organizations at

the same level, while raising additional money to build a destination playground at Haller Park. Our fabulous local Duck Dash sponsors, and the community who generously bought tickets and donated to the ‘Friends of the Park,’ are the reason we were so successful.” In partnership with the city of Arlington, the Rotary Club will provide funding and volunteer labor for a new playground at the soon-to-be renovated Haller Park. The city is planning to expand the park in 2014, to include renovated restrooms, a new play area, a larger park and more paved parking. The city

has applied for grants to help with the remainder of the Haller Park project. The Club is hoping to raise enough funds to include a water park feature at the playground. If you would like to donate to the “Friends of the Park,” please contact Linda Byrnes at 360-631-1411. All funds raised from the sale of Duck Dash tickets are returned to the community to enhance the lives of kids, seniors and community members in Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington, as well as around the globe.

Coach Doug Diel a hero for local youth sports BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Maintaining a strong youth sports culture in a single community requires volunteer efforts from dozens of local sports fanatics, who rarely receive recognition for their behind-the-scenes efforts. One such man is Doug Diel, who has been involved in youth sports in Arlington for almost 20 years. “I grew up here and even played sports from fifth grade up until my freshman year,” said Diel. “I quit playing in high school and went to work.” Diel began work at a car dealership in downtown Arlington. Years later, he met his wife Michelle, and began to coach her sons in baseball. “In 1996, I started coaching some of my friends’ kids and got really serious when my stepson Devin was in second grade. He is 16 now,” said Diel. “I coached Little League with Devin’s team at

Stilly Valley, starting from T-ball, and then coached all the way up through two years ago.” He also coached T-ball at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, and has coached his son Dane, 13, in basketball at Arlington AAU since he was 4 years old. Baseball and basketball aren’t the only sports that Diel is involved with — he also coaches football. “I’ve coached tackle football for Arlington since 2006, when I didn’t have a kid on the team and these guys were peewees. I coached all the way up to now,” he said. “This year I have the Arlington Youth Football Association’s eighth-grade team.” Bodie Williams, one of the players who has been coached by Diel since he was a little kid, is glad to have him as his football coach again. “There are kids that weren’t playing before, that are playing now, that he is coaching,” said Williams, 13. “It’s just because of the way he coaches. I think of Doug

as a father figure and on the field he is always fun. He teaches me a lot, and since he has taught me since I was little, everything I learned, I learned from him.” Diel’s son Dane agrees. “He’s like one of those coaches where you can still have fun while being serious,” he said. “He really likes to win, and like Bodie said, everything I learned is from him.” Jaren Carey, 12, believes that Diel’s connection with his players helps them gain confidence on and off the field. “I feel like Doug is always on the field right next to me, telling me everything I need to do right before I do it. I think that’s what makes him such a good coach and what makes us good football players.” Michelle Diel, Doug’s wife and a volunteer supporter of local youth sports, said she is always impressed with her husband’s caring and supportive attitude toward his players.

“He loves to win, but even when they don’t you’d never know the difference,” she said. “He loves the kids like they are his own. Sometimes after a loss you’ll see players on other teams hanging their heads, but that’s never the case with Doug’s players because he just won’t let them feel that way.” Diel said it’s difficult to lose, but although he enjoys winning, it’s not his main reason for coaching. “We’ve had some tough years,” he said. “What about our last baseball season? We never won a game. I just want them to have fun and keep playing. That’s the way I’ve always thought, that sports are really important for these kids. Not that they are all troublemakers, but if they keep busy with sports, then they aren’t getting in trouble.” Williams said that he is glad Diel comes back to coach every year because it helps the players feel like the effort is worthwhile. “He wants us to continue

Williams, Cary and Dane Diel are going into their final year of middle school and all three are hoping to be competitive at the high school level — in baseball, football, basketball and wrestling — when they get there, and they want to thank Diel for helping them get a good start in athletics. “He’s just a great coach

who always helps us when we need it,” said Williams. Although her son and his teammates will soon be growing too old for youth sports, Michelle Diel believes her husband will always be looking for some way to support the community’s athletic programs. “Doug has a grandson who is 3 years old, so I’m sure he will want to coach him,” she said. “I don’t see Doug hanging up his coaching hat anytime soon.”

Lakewood hosts 7-on-7 Tournament and Lineman Challenge lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Cameron Scrimgeour competes for the Eagles in Lakewood’s 7-on-7 tournament.

LAKEWOOD — The Cougars hosted 21 schools from around Washington State at the seventh annual Lakewood 7-on-7 Tournament and Lineman Challenge on Saturday, July 27. The event included two different portions. One was a passing tournament, where quarterbacks and receivers from one school competed against the defensive line and linebackers from another school. The other was the Lineman Challenge, which included strength competitions, relays and tug of war. The championship game was played by Bothell and Juanita.

“Bothell beat Juanita by 11 points,” said Lakewood Coach Dan Teeter. “They were the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds after the round robin play, so it was a really good match-up.” “I think was a great day of experience for us. We are in a situation where we graduated our top two quarterbacks, top two receivers and top two running backs. This was the perfect opportunity to get the younger kids some experience,” said Teeter. The Arlington Eagles competed in the event for the first time this year. “We normally don’t do these kinds of competitions,” said assistant coach Kevin Andal. “It was great, we are really glad we did it.”

Arlington took third place overall in the lineman challenge. “They did a 4x100-meter relay race where they carried a football instead of a baton, and everyone crowded around the track and cheered,” said Andal, who noted that the event, along with the Eagles’ team camp and summer scrimmages, has helped bond the team. “We had our team camp two weeks ago and then competed in full-contact scrimmages at the [University of Puget Sound] team camp,” he said. “The next day, we climbed Mount Pilchuck as a team and that was the most team-building event we’ve done. It was magnificent, and I use terms like that infrequently. It was truly a spectacular experience.”

FAIR FROM PAGE 1 since the Silvana Fair aims to serve as a “learning fair,” by preparing the community’s youth for the fairs that follow, later in the summer on into the fall. Sisters Brooke and Bethany Thompson joined Selina Shablo in taking top honors for their rabbits at this year’s Silvana Fair, with 14-year-old Brooke nabbing the grand prize for her French Lop and 13-year-old Bethany taking the reserve intermediate award for her Netherland Dwarf, while Selina scored the grand intermediate title for her Dutch rabbit.

“I have to have a really big cage for him,” Brooke Thompson said of her French Lop, which stretched the length of her torso as she picked it up and held it after its win. “I let him out once a week to help him build muscle.” Just as Brooke Thompson has been caring for and showing rabbits for the past 11 years, earning national awards in the process, so too has younger sister Bethany been showing and caring for rabbits for the past seven years, since their family has more than 70 rabbits altogether. Shablo has only been showing her rabbits for the past three years, but she’s

been caring for them “all my life,” and hopes to breed them eventually. Other kids put their climbing skills to the test on the Stanwood Redi-Mix greased pole contest, which saw Kaylee Knaus snatch one of the envelopes of cash from the top of the pole, even as Wyatt Yoney of Arlington came tantalizingly close but still short of his own prize, while bigger kids such as 96-year-old Helen Vickers of Arlington, driving her husband’s Minneapolis-Moline tractor for the second year in a row, took part in the return of the tractor pull to the Silvana Fair. However, for the Johnson

sisters as much as the Thompson sisters, the Silvana Fair’s purpose as a “learning fair” remained their primary focus throughout the day. Mary Johnson, 13, and Gracie Johnson, 15, have both been caring for Angus Simmental cows for five years, and showing them for two years, carrying on their Stanwood family’s tradition. “Our dad was in Future

It’s neat that we can come out here and learn more.” Mary Johnson, Silvana Fair participant Farmers of America and works with cows,” said Mary Johnson, whose cow took the overall reserve ribbon. “It’s neat that we can come out here and learn more.”

“You can develop your farm management skills here before you go to the other fairs,” said Gracie Johnson, the overall grand prize winner for her own cow.

sell medical marijuana, and that the law does not allow dispensaries, leaving enforcement to local officials. If passed, the ordinance would declare that the Arlington City Council finds that the sale of marijuana, no matter how designated by dispensaries, remains prohibited by federal and state law. Under the proposed ordinance, the city of Arlington would acknowledge the right of qualified health care professionals to prescribe the medical use of marijuana, as well as the right of patients to designate a “designated provider” who could “provide” rather than sell marijuana to only one patient at any one time. However, the ordinance also cites a section of the medical marijuana bill adopted with a partial veto of Gov. Christine Gregoire

in 2011, which “effectively eliminates medical marijuana dispensaries as a legally viable model of operation under state law.” One section of the proposed ordinance noted the “numerous adverse land use impacts” in other communities where medical marijuana uses have been approved, including the conversion of residential-use property into facilities for marijuana cultivation and processing, as well as “degrading neighborhood aesthetics,” environmental damages from chemicals, fire hazards, improper ventilation leading to high levels of mold, illegal structural modifications, and crimes ranging from home invasions and burglaries of medical marijuana facilities to theft and property damage. “It just seems like this would cause less problems in a larger city,” Arlington City Council member Dick Butner said. “We don’t need to bring that trouble here.”

Voters decide fate of Transportation Benefit District BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield wishes to remind Arlington residents of the Aug. 6 ballot measure to approve a Transportation Benefit District for their city. Banfield explained that the proposed TBD would fund the preservation, repair and improvement of 126 failing and near-failing road segments within Arlington, if voters were to approve a $0.002 additional sales tax for 10 years, which is projected to raise $650,000 annually from residents and non-residents alike. “Both residents and nonresidents use our roads, so they should both pay into the TBD,” Banfield said. “It

would mean paying 20 cents on $100 of taxable goods purchased in the city of Arlington.” In the weeks and months leading up to the final drafting and submission of the TBD ballot resolution and explanatory statement for the voters’ guide, Arlington City Council members have sought to send what they see as the right message to voters. “What we should be emphasizing is that this is about the preservation and repair of our roads,” said Arlington City Council member Steve Baker, who called for the ballot resolution’s language regarding those road segments to clarify that portions of those roads are failing or near-failing, rather than the entire roads. “If it sounds like

Arterials serving 6,000 or more vehicles daily. 2. Collectors serving 7516,000 vehicles daily. 3. Streets serving 750 or fewer vehicles daily.

you’re saying the whole road is unsafe, but several blocks look fine, people are going to say the road is good.” “There’s no real uniformity in the segments that are deteriorating,” Banfield agreed. “It ranges from half a block to multiple blocks, depending on the roads.” While the TBD Board has acknowledged that the sales tax increase would not necessarily cover all the costs of addressing those road segments, city of Arlington Public Works Director Jim Kelly deemed those funds essential for securing grants that could make up the difference. “If we don’t invest in pavement preservation, it pushes our grant score way down,” said Kelly, who cited the significant percentages of federal grant monies that have
