Neighborhood events help ‘break down barriers’

ARLINGTON — When police officers, firefighters, K9 units and city officials convene on one location, it’s generally not a good sign. But on Tuesday, Aug. 6, it was a welcome celebration between community members and law enforcement for Arlington’s annual National Night Out Against Crime. This year marked a slight change in the event — rather than hosting it at one central location for all Arlington residents to visit, several neighborhoods hosted their own individual Night Out. “These events are important because they break down barriers,” said Arlington Mayor Barb Tolbert. “When you are doing public safety, it’s more than just police and fire.

Schuette, Hopson lead Council race BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Initial results from the Aug. 6 primary election show Jan Schuette and Mike Hopson leading in the three-person race for Arlington City Council Position 7. As of Thursday, Aug. 8, at 5 p.m., Jan Schuette was leading the Arlington City Council Position 7 race with 1,115 votes, or 46.40 percent of the total votes counted, while Mike Hopson was coming in second with 688 votes, or 28.63 percent of the total votes counted. The third candidate, Scott Keith, had received 561 votes, or 23.35 percent of the total votes counted, while write-in candidates made up the remaining 39 votes, or 1.62 percent of the total votes counted. “I underestimated my opponents, but

this was a good learning experience,” said Keith, who plans to continue serving on the city of Arlington’s Parks, Arts and Recreation Committee. “I’ll re-evaluate in two years, and depending on who else is running then, I might see about running again, but I’m staying involved in this community regardless.” While a third-place finish for Keith would knock him out of contention for the general election, Hopson appears poised to move on to the fall with his second-place standing, and he described himself as “absolutely thrilled” to have received that many votes in the primary election. “I’m a relative unknown who ran a bare-bones campaign,” Hopson said. “I had a fraction of the signs that Jan did,

s that way you recognize if something is out of the ordinary.” Four Arlington neighborhoods — Gleneagle, Crown Ridge, Eagle Heights and Country Manor — hosted individual events inviting their community to attend and interact with members of the Arlington Police Department, the Arlington Fire Department, city of Arlington directors and council members, and even featured appearances by McGruff the Crime Dog and K9 officer Annie, a reallife crime-fighting dog.

“The idea for the National Night Out is to get community members to know who their neighbor is,” said Maxine Jenft, volunteer coordinator for the city of Arlington. “When we hosted the event in one location there was no camaraderie because it drew people from all across town, not from their actual neighborhoods. To have four or five neighborhoods on the first try is terrific, and we anticipate that we will continue to host individual neighborhood events each year.” Tolbert said she is excited about the event’s new format because it goes back to the original purpose of the

National Night Out, which began almost 30 years ago. “I really like the idea of hosting it in individual neighborhoods,” she said. “It’s what the cusp of the program is all about. It’s about knowing people in your individual neighborhood.” Tony Macchiarella attended the Night Out for the first time and just wanted to see what it was all about. “I’ve met the mayor and the members of the police and fire departments before,” he said. “One thing that always gets me about Washington is that in Illinois if you have a secondstory building, you need to have another fire exit out the back. But you don’t see that here. Sometimes there are ladders, but tell me — what woman can climb down a ladder with an infant in her arms?” Macchiarella’s concerns about fire safety are another aspect of the Night Out — one which Mayor Tolbert said is equally important to meeting his neighbors. “It’s not only about neighborhoods. It’s important for members of the community to build relationships with city personnel, so they can hear what the residents think and what their concerns are,” she said. Arlington Chief of Police Nelson Beazley spoke about the importance of not only observing the habits of your neighbors, but also reporting suspicious behavior promptly. “Call 911 as it’s happen-

Even if you don’t have all the information, chances are someone else has already called about them and we can tie together that information. We need your assistance, so don’t hesitate to call.” Judy Ness, event coordinator for the Gleneagle neighborhood Night Out said it is important to know your neighbors, especially in the event of a natural disaster. “We want people to get to know their neighbors,” said Ness, echoing sentiments from Tolbert and Jenft. “We are getting ready for a big earthquake in this region. In fact I believe we are overdue for it. When a natural disaster happens and you call 911, they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’ll be three days before we can send someone’ because they have priorities — hospitals, roadways, schools. If people don’t know their neighbors, they won’t know who can lend a chainsaw if a tree has fallen down, or fresh water or food.” “If we know our neighbors, we can come together and help each other.”

Klein, Blake lead in County Council District 1 race

lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Ken Klein and Bill Blake were leading in the primary election race for Snohomish County Council District 1 according to preliminary results released as of 5 p.m. on Aug. 8, by the Snohomish County Elections Office. “I’m very excited to know how well we did,” said Klein, who was leading the race with 6,304 votes or 32.37 percent. “We did better than projected and it’s a hardfought race. I’m glad we are going to have a clear election.” The top two candidates in each race advance to the general election on Nov. 5. “I think people like my message,” said Blake, who was just behind Klein with 5,461 votes or 28.04 percent. “Throughout all the different interviews, articles and forums that I’ve done, I see that people are really responding to the idea of increasing the natural resources economy and opportunities in this county. People see that I’ve completed a lot of projects and when I have an idea, I follow through.” Gary Wright, with 4,749 votes or 24.39 percent, trailed behind Klein and Blake, and was surprised at the outcome of the primary. “I believe it’s surprising, but not shocking,” he said. “I thought we would have a higher percentage at this

point. We could still gain some as the votes come in, so I am not going to say it’s all over for certain.” Carsten Mullin received 1,741 votes or 8.94 percent and is happy to continue volunteering for the city of Arlington. “It’s looking like it will be an election between Bill and Ken,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a huge surprise — both will do well for Snohomish County. Right now, I enjoy volunteering with the city of Arlington — with baseball and the Parks, Arts and

Recreation Commission, and volunteering as a coach of my daughter’s soccer and basketball team at the Boys & Girls Club — so I think I will continue to do that.” Klein and Blake will be focusing on spreading their message to the voters as the general election nears. “I’m basically just keeping the same message,” said Klein. “We’ve been saying the same thing from the beginning — we are focusing on economic growth by creating a positive environment for businesses in

Snohomish County and I want people to have confidence in the county on that level. We also want to do something about property rights — make it easier for people to use their property rather than going through so many government hoops. This will make it easier for people to farm on their land.”

Blake is interested in hearing from community members on issues that are important to them. “At this point, I want to be available to listen to the public and hear what they are looking for in a county council member,” said Blake. “I think people trust me because I have worked from the bottom up. I want

to listen and also share ideas on diversity in economic growth.” Libertarian candidate Sean Olson received 1,132 votes or 5.81 percent. Although the election took place on Aug. 6, the county will not verify the election until Aug. 20 and the state will verify it on Aug. 23.

Investments in transportation network keep Marysville moving forward

hen you think of summer, road projects and traffic cones probably aren’t the first images that come to mind, but several projects have been completed this season or will be in the months ahead that will make your drive in Marysville more pleasant and convenient. Summer and early fall are busy times for our Street Department. Crews are able to take advantage of the drier conditions to complete much needed road maintenance and repairs. Here are some projects that have just been completed this summer or are on the schedule that you should see happening in the coming months: ■ Among the more visible street projects, Public Works Street Crews and contractor Fidalgo Paving and Construction last week completed the 51st Avenue NE shoulder improvements and asphalt overlay between Grove and 80th streets. The shoulder improvements tie into existing sidewalks, creating a more continuous route for pedestrians and improving overall safety for road users. The asphalt overlay will repair the cracked, aging roadway with a smoother ride. The project required “digouts;” in other words, repairing the worst sections of the road down to beneath the asphalt where the sub-base has failed, which leads to severe cracking, potholes and a rough ride. Digout repairs can be costly due to equipment and time involved, and the added depth of asphalt requiring replacement. The city saved on these costs by performing these repairs using city crews. ■ 10th Street sidewalk (Beach to Cedar) project — Street crews and contractor Reece Trucking and Excavating in July installed sidewalks the south side of 10th Street accessing the Marysville Boys & Girls Club, and built bulbout sidewalk ramps at 10th and Cedar. The project was funded

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

through the city’s Community Development Block Grant fund. ■ State Avenue overlay from 92nd Street to 100th Street — This project got under way a couple of weeks ago to complete a full structure dig-out and asphalt over lay of this five-lane segment of State from 92nd north to 100th Street. The actual overlay will occur overnight, and businesses will be accessible during the project, with minimal disruption. The project is funded up to $450,000 in federal grant funds, with construction completed at the end of September. ■ 27th Avenue from 169th Street to 172nd Street — widening of 27th/traffic signal at 169th — significant work will get underway toward the end of the year by the developer building a 240-unit Villas at Lakewood apartment condominiums complex adjacent to Costco and Lakewood Crossing. The project will widen portions of 27th, add frontage improvements and more street lighting, as well as a traffic signal at the intersection of 169th, which is currently a four-way stop. ■ Traffic signal — 53rd Avenue and SR 528 — A federally-funded new traffic signal will be installed at 53rd Avenue and SR 528 nearby and across from the Jennings Nature Park entrance. The signal should be operational by the end of the year. ■ Traffic signal — 55th Avenue and 88th Street — The city is hoping to install a new traffic signal at 55th Avenue and SEE NEHRING, PAGE 5 THE MARYSVILLE

MSD budget status 2013-14

have heard a passing comment or two recently indicating that many of us, inside and outside of education, think that since the legislature didn’t cut us again this year — that all is well. My response to that is that all is definitely “better,” but unfortunately, we are not there yet. A little background... Since 2004, our allocated funding from state and federal resources has decreased steadily. This was in direct response to the problems in our economy, and loss of state revenues. We do realize this hit many of our local businesses, our local government and support services, and families equally hard. What that meant to the school district is that we not only had increasing unfunded mandates put upon us by legislation, (new layers of required testing, new learning standards, increased graduation requirements, and new teacher and principal evalu-

GUEST OPINION BECKY BERG ation systems for example), as well as increased costs to serve our students, and purchasing materials and services whose prices had increased due to inflation. We were asked to do far more — with far less. We made necessary cuts that went to the bone in order to balance the books. Charging participation fees for athletics, cutting time allocated to maintain grounds and facilities, cutting time to staff our libraries, putting off curriculum adoption, cutting training for teachers, and cutting pay for employees, cutting 20 teachers and increasing class size for kinder-

garten through third grade are just a few examples of the very difficult decisions we had to make. Amidst this economic turmoil, the legislature was found “guilty by the Washington State Supreme Court of significantly underfunding even a basic education — which is unconstitutional in our state. In an unprecedented move, the Washington State Supreme Court not only made this decision, but retained jurisdiction over the case to ensure that the legislature fulfill its constitutional duties, (for more information go to: http:// waschoolexcellence.org/the-mcclearycase/). So what did the Legislature decide? The Court ruled that K-12 education in our state must be fully funded by 2018. Therefore, the minimum amount over this two-year budgeting SEE BERG, PAGE 5

The importance of Early Learning Washington State’s Early Learning Plan is a renewed effort to improve the services for our youngest learners. The vision statement, developed in 2010 as a collaborative effort between state and local stakeholders, captures the overarching purpose of the Washington State Early Learning Plan. “In Washington, we work together so that all children start life with a solid foundation for success based on strong families and a world-class early learning system for all children prenatal through third grade. Accessible, accountable, and developmentally and culturally appropriate, our system partners with families to ensure that every child is healthy, capable, and confident in school and in life.” The principles of the Washington State Early Learning Plan are grounded in research and are designed to serve all children from prenatal through third grade. The plan calls for schools, government agencies, health care providers, private child-

GUEST OPINION TERRI BOOKEY care providers, and community groups to come together to build a comprehensive, accessible early learning system that will serve families and children in all capacities. As a district, we are working diligently to address our areas of responsibility. District goals include increasing communication with families, strengthening partnerships with community childcare and healthcare providers, continual staff professional development, improving identification of children who qualify for birth to 5 programs, and aligning prekindergarten through third grade instructional and programmatic practices. In addition to serving our

kindergarten through third grade students, the district has the following services available for our birth to 5-year-old population. ■ APPLE Preschool (Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program) — the primary goal of the program is to help children and families get ready for kindergarten. Children are accepted into the program based on age and family income. ■ Birth to 3 Special Programs — the district contracts with area providers to support children under the age of 3 who qualify for Special Education services. ■ Developmental Preschool — housed at Presidents Elementary, this district-wide program serves preschoolers, ages 3 and older that qualify under state guidelines for Special Education services. These services may include academics, social-emotional, speech and language, as well as SEE BOOKEY, PAGE 5

NEHRING FROM PAGE 4 88th Street, with construction estimated for Spring 2014. The project is funded through a state Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) grant. While these investments will go a long way toward providing increased safety, reducing traffic congestion and creating a more efficient roadway system — not to mention jobs, our momentum hasn’t slowed on acquiring funding for the large-scale projects so vital to Marysville and Tulalip’s burgeoning transportation network. During this year’s Legislative session, I made several trips to Olympia, pounding the pavement to rally support for key transportation investments in our region, most notably for I-5 Interchange improvements at SR 529, 156th and 116th Street. Complete funding for the 116th interchange and partial funding for the SR 529 and 156th interchanges were included in a $10 billion transportation package that ultimately failed to gain passage during a special session called by the Governor in June. We were disappointed by the outcome, but not deterred. For anyone who drives these routes below, you know their importance and value. n SR 529/I-5 Interchange — The project would complete the current half interchange by building a new I-5 northbound off-ramp onto SR 529 and new southbound on-ramps

from SR 529 to I-5, a project that would significantly help mitigate the impacts of any increased freight train traffic resulting from the proposed Cherry Point Coal Export Facility in Whatcom County, if that happens. Regardless, this project would help ease overall traffic congestion downtown especially during peak hours. n 156th/I-5 overpass on-off ramps — This project would add on- and off-ramps to the existing bridge that opened in 2012. n 116th Street/I-5 Interchange — this project led by our partner, Tulalip Tribes, would replace the existing three-lane bridge with a full standard six-lane bridge Single Point Urban Interchange. The first two projects require Interchange Justification Reports (IJRs), a document required by Federal Highway Administration officials to demonstrate the need for any project that proposes a new interchange or new access ramps on an interstate. An IJR is a critical early step in getting these built, and equally important, enables us to pursue state and federal funds necessary to get the job done. These public investments in Marysville’s transportation infrastructure improve safety, ease traffic congestion, support economic opportunity and local businesses, provide jobs, and perhaps most importantly to you, make your daily drive more convenient.

BERG FROM PAGE 4 cycle needed to be $1.4 billion to $1.9 billion if full funding in 2018 is ever to be a reality. The legislature did begin to fulfill its obligations this year. It must be noted that our local legislators — Representatives McCoy, Larsen, Hope and Hobbs — fought the good fight on our behalf. After the regular legislative session, and two additional special sessions, our elected officials in Olympia passed a budget on June 28. Unfortunately, the legislature came up short on their payment plan at just under $1 billion statewide. This means that the Marysville School District will be funded at

the level it was in 2010, with increased unfunded statewide mandates and increased inflationary costs. We are thankful that more of our non-instructional costs such as insurance, supplies and materials will be funded by the state rather than using levy dollars. Pay cuts for employees are being restored by the state, transportation will be supported at a higher level and schools most impacted by poverty will be able to have all day kindergarten programs and/or more first and second grade teachers. We are indeed going in the right direction toward fully funding basic education but the state has a ways to go to meet the mandate to fully fund schools by 2018. What are the next steps for the Marysville School

Scientists have proven that the human brain develops more rapidly between birth and age five than during any other subsequent period.

BBQ competition returns to Smokey Point kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — After its first community barbecue cook-off last year, the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce is offering its first cook-off sanctioned by the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association

this year, in conjunction with its second annual community barbecue cook-off and marketplace street fair from Aug. 16-18, at the intersection of 172nd Street NE and 51st Avenue. Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber, explained that Friday, Aug. 16, and

Saturday, Aug. 17, would be devoted to the sanctioned cook-off, while Sunday, Aug. 18, would be set aside for the community cookoff. As of Wednesday, Aug. 7, the sanctioned cook-off had already recruited 14 cooks, and will be accepting entries until they reach 20 cooks,

or until Aug. 16. The sanctioned cooks will be competing by Pacific Northwest BBQ Association rules, in the categories of pork butt, brisket, chicken and pork ribs, to win grand champion, reserve champion and first- through seventh-place awards, adding up to $4,000 in total prizes. “If we get 15 teams, the winners will automatically be qualifiers for the American Royal barbecue competition, and will be dropped into consideration for the Jack Daniels

Invitational,” Harmon said. “Some of the cooks will be offering barbecue bites, of two ounces for a dollar, except ribs, which will go for $2 for two ounces, because it’s priced by how expensive those cuts of meat are.” Harmon hopes to have between 8-10 teams signed up for the community cookoff, although only three were signed up as of Aug. 7, since last-minute registrations are not uncommon. “Some of our professional cooks will be sticking around

on Sunday, after their own barbecues have been judged in the sanctioned cook-off on Saturday, to help mentor the community cooks,” Harmon said. “They’ll be giving tips on how to use sauces and presentation to keep the meat fresh and tasty, so that some of those community cooks can move onto the sanctioned cookoff, if they so choose.” For more information on the Smokey Point BBQ Cook-Off and Marketplace, log onto www.arlingtonsmokeypointchamber.com.

Arlington’s Ginnis competes at Junior Nationals BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Before she ever stepped foot in her kindergarten classroom, Arlington High School senior Morgan Ginnis was in the water. “I’ve been swimming since I was 4 years old,” said Ginnis, 17. “And I started to swim competitively when I was 5 or 6 years old.” Ginnis became interested in the sport after her older brother started swimming. “I always wanted to follow him,” she laughed. “I learned to swim and trained at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School pool for a long time, with their team, the Mighty Marlins.” When she was 13 years old she moved to a new swim club known as West Coast Aquatics, and six months ago she joined the King Aquatic Club. More than 13 years of swimming have proven useful to Ginnis, who recently broke three national relay records set by Olympians at the Federal Way Aquatic Center, where she practices and competes with the King Aquatic Club. Arlington High School does not have a swim team, so Ginnis does not compete in high school swimming. “We practice at the

“The coaches are really great and I was competing against girls on the team before, so I felt that racing with the competition would help me improve.” Morgan Ginnis, swimmer King Aquatic Club Aquatic Center in Federal Way or Mount Rainier High School,” said Ginnis, who had to quit her part-time job at a clothing store to commit more time to her sport. “I commute from Arlington to Federal Way every single day.” The King Aquatic Club is very competitive and Ginnis felt that the transition would help her not only improve, but also gain notice from colleges and universities. “I just felt that it was a better program and something that would get me swimming better,” she said. “The coaches are really great, and I was competing against girls on the team before, so I felt that racing with the competition would help me improve.” Competing and practicing with higher level swimmers has certainly helped Ginnis, who along with Heidi VanderWel, Carolyn McCann and Hannah Weiss, broke national

records in the 200-meter medley relay, the 200-meter freestyle relay and the 400meter freestyle relay. On Aug. 5, Ginnis and her team traveled to Irvine, Calif., to compete in the Junior National Championships at the William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center. Junior Nationals is a good place to get noticed by colleges and universities looking to add skilled swimmers to their rosters. “There are a lot of colleges and universities here, and on Friday, at the end of the meet after my final relay, is when I can talk to them,” she said. She has already gotten calls from a few universities and spoken with them over the phone, but the opportunity to compete in front of them is priceless. “I’m so excited,” she said. “It will be great to show them what I can do.” For more information on the King Aquatic Club, call 206-306-6040.

City hosts hardball, softball leagues BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

The Aces’ Tyler Frauenholtz, of Arlington, runs to first base during a game on Wednesday, Aug. 7

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Aces hardball league is in full swing for the summer, with local former high school baseball players keeping their skills fresh with weekly games. Arlington Aces is a city of Arlington hardball league led by Parks, Arts and Recreation commissioner Carsten Mullin. It began in 2010, and hosts weekly Wednesday night games at Evans Field near the Arlington Municipal Airport. “For the first couple years it was increasing in popularity, but now he’s pretty much got his regular players,” said Sarah Lopez, Arlington Parks and

Recreation director. “It’s a real complete league.” Most of the athletes competing in the league played at the varsity level in high school, so there is tough competition between the teams. “A lot of them are former Arlington High School baseball players,” said Lopez. “It’s an opportunity for them to stay active. I think the oldest person on the team is in his mid-40s, and he was a baseball star when he was in high school. It’s a great opportunity for them to keep playing baseball as adults.” The league continues for eight weeks, with the final games played on Aug. 28. The city is also hosting a co-ed softball

league, also on Wednesday nights at the Twin Rivers Park softball fields. “The city softball league plays on Wednesday nights,” said Lopez. “We have eight teams this year and it’s very local. We have a lot of local businesses that make their own teams.” This year’s local teams include Sticks and Chicks, Anders Hay, Crosswalk Crew, Rocket Alley, Woodinville Wine Cellars, Cascade Valley Hospital, Double Trouble from Jones Construction and Just for Fun from the Stillaguamish Tribe. The co-ed softball league wraps up play on Sept. 4. There are still local opportunities for adults to start playing sports during

“It’s a great opportunity for them to keep playing baseball as adults.” Sarah Lopez, director, Arlington Parks and Recreation the fall. “We have adult volleyball on Friday nights at Post Middle School, which is ongoing throughout the year,” said Lopez. “We also have the Bulldog Basketball league for adults, which is ongoing depending on how many people sign up for the leagues.” For more information about summer and fall sports opportunities, visit www.arlingtonwa.gov.

Kids’ Kloset staying put at old high school building

The Meno family are among the average of 7-10 volunteers who are continuing to put in between 100-150 hours of work between them each week at the Arlington Kids’ Kloset. as well as their preschool siblings and any student in Early Childhood Education Assistance Programs. “We’re starting our ninth year of serving the community, and we serve 1,300 students from this building, but that’s only meeting a third of the need that’s out there,” said Meno, who listed the customers of Kids’ Kloset as including children who qualify for government-assisted free or reduced-price school meals, those who are otherwise income eligible and directly referred, and those with emergency needs caused by a fire, a family crisis or a sudden relocation. “Our goal is to continue to try and reach more students, with ample supplies of clothing items

presented in a positive, friendly atmosphere. We want it to be a clean, organized shopping experience, rather than a handout.” While Meno praised the generosity of a host of donor organizations that supply grants to help sustain the operations of Kids’ Kloset, she noted that more clothes, more volunteers and more money are always needed and appreciated. To that end, she and her husband John will again be hosting the annual “Taste of Washington” fundraiser at their home, at 20217 Old Burn Rd. in Arlington, from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24. You may call 360-435-4875 to RSVP by Monday, Aug. 19, or to find out more about Kids’ Kloset in general.

ARLINGTON — While the former upper-floor occupants of the old Arlington High School building have been forced to move out due to safety concerns, the Arlington Kids’ Kloset on the ground-floor level isn’t going anywhere. “The upper floors of the old high school building weren’t built to current code as far as seismic standards are concerned, so it wasn’t safe to have the students of Highland Christian School or the Arlington Boys & Girls Clubs’ programs up there,” said Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District. “Those spaces are being used for storage now, but we haven’t abandoned the building. Consultation with an evaluator determined that the downstairs basement is sturdy — it’s made from cement, and I think it was even built to stand as a bomb shelter — so not only is Kids’ Kloset still allowed to be there, but we’ve also got our district’s support services office down there.” Kids Kloset co-founder Kimberly Meno explained that the organization is continuing to provide new and gently used clothing, free of charge, to children in need who attend the Arlington, Lakewood and Darrington school districts,

Preliminary results show Arlington’s Transportation Benefit District passing BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Initial results from the Aug. 6 primary election show the Arlington Transportation Benefit District Proposition No. 1 leading by much more than the simple majority that it needs to pass. As of Thursday, Aug. 8, at 5 p.m., the Arlington Transportation Benefit

District Proposition No. 1 received 1,487 votes to approve it, or 64.82 percent of the total votes counted, and 807 votes to reject it, or 35.18s percent of the total votes counted. “We are very appreciative of the voters’ support to pay for the maintenance and preservation of our streets,” Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert said. “We did this the right way. After exam-

ining the revenue situation, the City Council said, ‘Let’s ask the voters.’ Now the hard work begins, to repair our 126 streets that are in failing or near-failing condition.” The Transportation Benefit District would fund the preservation, repair and improvement of 126 failing and near-failing road segments within Arlington, if voters approve a $0.002 additional sales tax for 10

Your Favorite

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,” Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin 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, Banfield agreed with Arlington City Council members such as Steve Baker that the ballot resolution’s language regarding those road segments needed to clarify that portions of those roads are failing or near-failing, rather

than the entire roads. “There’s no real uniformity in the segments that are deteriorating,” Banfield said. “It ranges from half a block to multiple blocks, depending on the roads.” Although the TBD Board has acknowledged that such a sales tax increase would not necessarily cover all the costs of preserving and repairing those road segments, city of Arlington Public Works Director Jim Kelly nonetheless deemed those funds essential for securing grants that could make up the difference, given that significant percentages of federal grant monies have been set aside exclusively for pavement preservation. “If we don’t capitalize on those funds, we lose out,” Kelly said. According to Kelly, the prioritization of road segments most in need of being addressed was determined according to the Pavement Condition Index, as well as the types and severities of pavement distresses, and the classifications of the city’s 167 lane-miles of paved road surfaces under the following categories: 1. Arterials serving 6,000 or more vehicles daily. 2. Collectors serving 7516,000 vehicles daily. 3. Streets serving 750 or fewer vehicles daily. To see which road segments have been selected for repair and improvement, you may log onto www. arlingtonwa.gov/TBDMaps.

Highland Christian moves to new locations BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

are at least three areas in Arlington that could be available, that wouldn’t need to be rezoned to accommodate us, but in the meantime, we’re now spoiled for indoor gymnasium space in ways that we weren’t at the old high school.” Poortinga and Smith agreed not only that both Highland Christian Schools would be fully moved into their new locations and ready to start the new school year on Sept. 4, but also that the move out of the old high school building has been a blessing in disguise for them. “Highland Christian School is not a building,” Poortinga said. “It’s a family. This forces our hand and gets us out there to aggressively try and find a new home.” “We’ve retained a strong infrastructure even after losing our building,” Smith said. “We have outstanding teachers who have raised the bar and maintained a futurefocused vision.” Highland Christian School’s students come from as near as Arlington and Marysville, and as far as Darrington and Camano Island, and the school is still accepting applications from families wishing to enroll students, by calling 360-4038351. In the meantime, Highland Christian School will bid farewell to its former digs with a garage sale at the old Arlington High School building at 135 S. French Ave., tentatively scheduled for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24. “We’ve been in that building 10 years and accumulated a lot of stuff that we won’t have room for at our new locations,” Poortinga said. “Even though we’ll be at separate campuses, we’ll still be one family,” Smith said. “We’ll be an even stronger family because we’ll have to work harder at staying connected.”
