ARLINGTON — Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee was joined by Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and other Arlington city officials as he officially dedicated the new location of OutBack Power Technologies in the Arlington Advanced Manufacturing Park with representatives of its company parent, the Alpha Group, on Thursday, Aug. 22. OutBack Power has grown so much since its founding in Arlington in 2001 that it required commuting up and down the east side of the Arlington Municipal Airport to reach all of its divisions. When its employees moved into their current offices three months ago, it has allowed them all to work from the same site.

While Mara White of OutBack’s product development was proud to tout the ever-escalating popularity of its three-day, 17-credit training course for solar power installers, OutBack applications engineer Mark Mays explained to Inslee how the company is developing new applications for solar power products, including an alternating current coupling system that allows a grid-tied power inverter to substitute for the utility’s power grid when the power grid has been knocked out. “If there’s something like a hurricane, a homeowner with solar power might say, ‘Hey, what happened to my power?’” Mays said. “That power can become trapped on their roof, because the gridtied inverter is required by law not to back-feed into the grid when it goes SEE INSLEE, PAGE 19

ARLINGTON — Classrooms were packed at Haller Middle School on Aug. 21-22, though they weren’t students who filled the desks — they were teachers. Arlington Public Schools offered the second Summer Academy for teachers to undergo training on new curriculum standards, education tools, behavior management and more. A total of 388 teachers signed up for one or more sessions during the two-day voluntary training seminar and took advantage of the opportunity to be the ones raising their hands and asking questions. “Everything is related to what they are using in the classroom,” said Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for Arlington Public Schools. “We chose the Danielson Instructional Framework to evaluate our staff — from administrators, teachers and even our superintendent. It’s an ongoing framework to allow specific feedback for teachers, so we have a num-

ber of sessions discussing the components of that framework. We have a session on teaching with iPads in the classroom — which has gotten to be very popular, especially for our elementary students. We have a class on teaching with love and logic, which helps those in the behavior program empower students to take responsibility for their behavior. All the sessions pertain to their needs in the classroom.” The Danielson Instructional Framework is one of the evaluation frameworks adopted by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction for use in Washington, and is aligned with the state’s evaluation criteria. “We are continually helping our teachers understand what the new evaluations will be,” said Conley. “We want to show them, ‘Here’s what the evaluation will be and here’s what you can do to develop supportive learning.’” The district is also focusing on maintaining the common core state standards which were adopted by the state of Washington in 2011 for full implementation in the 2014-15 school

the classroom, so we wanted to give teachers an opportunity to learn the basics for each program.” Andrea Conley Public Information Coordinator Arlington Public Schools year. Forty-five states have adopted the common core standards which aim to prepare students for college or the workforce, and maintain consistency in educational standards across the nation. The summer academy offered three sessions digging deeper into the common core, with ideas on incorporating required texts and curriculum in each classroom. New science standards have been adopted, with three years to implementation, so teachers participating in the sessions on the new standards got a preview of what was to come. In addition to the class on teaching with iPads, the academy offered sessions on technology as an instrument for teaching — including Google Docs, Moodle websites, QR codes and the IEP online. “All of this new technology can be a great tool in the classroom, so we wanted to give teachers an opportunity to learn the basics for each program,” said Conley.

In addition to those sessions, the academy offered training on implementing “I can” statements as a measure of progress in the classroom, behavior management training for special education staff and CPR/ AED/First Aid training. “We are taking all of this information to the next level and giving teachers a chance to ask questions and be prepared for the school year,” said Conley. “All of these sessions are specific to our district and show how to implement each in classrooms here in Arlington. It’s really a great way to get the teachers ready for the new school year.” Teachers will be back in the classroom on Wednesday, Aug. 28, while students return for their first day of school on Wednesday, Sept. 4, with grades 10-12 starting on Sept. 5.

Chamber hosts County Council candidates’ forum BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — City of Arlington Natural Resources Manager Bill Blake and Arlington City Council member Ken Klein remained complimentary and cordial to one another throughout the Snohomish County Council Candidates’ Forum hosted by the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Aug. 23. But even as the two men both touted their deep family roots in the local community, and echoed a few of each other’s opinions, some clear contrasts emerged between Blake, the Democrat who sees government as a servant of its citizens, and Klein, the Republican who believes that too much government interference can hinder citizens’ liberties. While Blake advocated ensuring that the Growth Management Act holds developers accountable for funding new roads and new schools, Klein proposed far more sweeping reforms. “Does it work?” Klein asked. “If it hasn’t worked, then it probably needs revising. If its problems are severe enough, it needs to be revoked.” Klein argued that, rather than reducing sprawl, the

increased price tag that he pointed to the GMA for affixing to urban homes has instead motivated more citydwellers to move to rural areas and develop them. He also blamed the GMA for forcing smaller family farms out of business, while Blake invoked an example from further afield. “In Europe, you see cities and farmlands right next to each other,” Blake said. “They’ve had hundreds of years to figure this out.” On the topic of financial sustainability, Klein warned against what he sees as shortterm thinking in government budgeting, one example of which he cited was a proposed tax increase to fund restoration of the Snohomish County Courthouse. “We should be thinking ahead about how to maintain the assets we already have with the funds we already have,” Klein said. “If we’re creating a new asset, that’s another thing, but it’s irresponsible otherwise.” While Blake acknowledged the value of a business-honed efficiency mindset in government, he also recalled how he’s had to remind municipal employees who have come from the private sector that government should not be a for-profit organization. “Our job is to cover our

costs,” Blake said. “At the same time, we should be spending less than we earn.” Blake also sees fostering a diversity of regional businesses as key to the county’s financial sustainability, and even called for it to become “a full-circle economy, where we grow it, we harvest it, we process it and we serve it.” On the subject of homelessness, Blake believes the two main factors are having a job and a place to live, to which end he again referred to Europe as a model for providing widespread public transport and locating places to live, work and shop in close proximity to one another. While Klein also identified affordable housing as an essential piece of the solution to homelessness, he defended the need of the free market to determine where such housing will be located, and praised churches and community service organizations for supplying “not just a hand-out, but a hand-up” toward self-sufficiency. “Seventy-three percent of the role of county government is law and justice,” said Klein, who also deemed transportation infrastructure and public utilities among its primary priorities. “Its number-one role is to protect its citizens. Everything else is secondary. That doesn’t mean

we shouldn’t do anything else, but rather, we should look for the best ways of doing it.” “County government’s role is to serve the citizens of Snohomish County, but there are different levels of service,” Blake said. “Some are more local, like permitting and land uses, while others such as transportation really require coordination with the county. We get money for projects that other levels of government don’t get.” Blake even commended John Koster — the termlimited outgoing Republican whose seat Blake and Klein are vying for — as an advocate for state and federal monies for smaller towns and cities in Snohomish County, while Klein highlighted the differences in philosophy between himself and Blake through their responses. “He sees the opportunity of government to help people’s lives,” Klein said. “I think it’s more detrimental to the county right now, and should be removed as an impediment.” Nonetheless, when the candidates were asked to describe their opponents’ greatest attributes, Klein lauded Blake’s professionalism and commitment to customer service while working for the city of Arlington as qualities that should be

Klein voiced his opposition to the state House’s proposed 10-cents-per-gallon gas tax to fund $8 billion in transportation projects, $400 million of which would be spent in Snohomish County alone, because he believes inefficiencies in that process need to be reformed before any revenues are raised without a vote of the people. “When Arlington passed its Transportation Benefit

District, it was different from the state proposing a mandate,” Klein said. “What we did was bring it before the people and ask them, ‘Do you want to pay for this?’”

Blake confessed to not being fully familiar with the issue, but opined that “I hate to spend more money than I have to, but there’s a lot of projects to pay for here.” He also expressed support for voter-supported methods of funding such projects on a more local level, as per the Arlington TBD, and even proposed funding for alternate forms of transportation to cars, including bikes and dirigibles. “I agree with Ken that we should be spending less and having our engineers do more engineering,” Blake said.

Every forest once a food forest

olks up in Seattle are developing a “food forest” on Beacon Hill. Right there, near the heart of the city, a place where anyone can come along and pick fruit, vegetables, herbs, berries and more. The first harvests from the forest are expected this fall. It’s a great idea. Sharing food and community are two things that I care a lot about. Most of my life has been centered on food and the rights of tribes to be able to harvest their own food. For us Indian people, all of western Washington was once a food forest. The trouble is that it’s getting harder and harder for these forests, rivers and beaches to provide us with much food because they’ve been treated so poorly. For us, the U.S. v. Washington ruling that upheld our treaty fishing, hunting and gathering rights came too late. Since almost the first day that Judge George Boldt’s decision became law, we’ve had to cut back on our fishing because of declining runs. This ongoing decline is being driven by habitat loss and damage, and it isn’t getting better. Shellfish was always a dependable source of food for Indian people. But pollution from stormwater runoff, failing

septic systems and agricultural impacts threaten that vital food source. Wildlife habitat in our forests continues to shrink. More and more animals are being forced into smaller and smaller areas. We’re losing our mountain huckleberries to busloads of commercial harvesters who come in with rakes and other tools to strip the bushes clean, often causing damage to the plants and reducing future

yields. Salmon, shellfish, wildlife and huckleberries are all important, traditional and treaty-protected foods. Our ancestors knew their importance. That’s why they reserved the right to access and harvest them in treaties with the U.S. government. Projects like the edible food forest in Seattle are important. I hope they make an effort to include native forest plants that were once up on Beacon Hill before the city came along. We need to bring our rivers back to life, clean up and protect our beaches, and bring food back to the forests all around us. Billy Frank Jr. is the Chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Work continues on new Marysville Walmart BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Its exact open date remains nebulous, but from its absence of back-to-school items and its already stocked shelves full of Halloween candy and spooky decorations, the Marysville Walmart at the intersection of Highway 9 and State Route 528 is opening sometime after the start of the new school year and before Halloween. “The construction schedules are still very liquid,” said Sonia Smith, manager of the Marysville Walmart. “We’re looking at early to mid-autumn right now. And we do still have some store employee positions open.” Of the approximately 300 employees already working at the Marysville Walmart, only 30 were transfers from other stores, while the rest were new hires who received training at the Tulalip, Arlington, Lynnwood and Mount Vernon Walmart stores.

Those interested in joining their ranks can either apply at any Walmart location, or stop by the Marysville Walmart’s hiring center in Suite E at 1289 State Ave. in Marysville. Applicants may also apply online at http:// careers.walmart.com. “You walk into an empty building that’s nothing but shelves, and it gets so full thanks to these amazing associates,” said Smith, a Washington State University graduate and 14-year Walmart employee for whom the approximately 147,000-square-foot Marysville Walmart is the second such store that she’s managed. “We had an eightday stretch of two to three trucks coming a day just to fill this place.” While the store has yet to stock any perishable goods, its frozen goods are already chilling in energy-saving cooler aisles that only light up when they sense customers approaching. Most of the Marysville Walmart’s layout will be

familiar to customers of other Walmart stores — groceries leading into pet food and then cleaning supplies, entertainment equipment leading into hardware and auto care equipment, and sporting goods leading into children’s toys — but with those departments, there are a few other new wrinkles, including a refrigerated case for fresh pet food. “We try to make it as convenient as possible for the customer,” Smith said. “All the like areas are grouped together, to give it a better shopping flow.” The Marysville Walmart also boasts a selection of Pacific Northwest-themed knickknacks, including a Bigfoot coffee mug that Smith touted as a strong seller in the region. “Folks around here are always looking for more souvenirs and local merchandise of their stomping grounds,” said Smith, who encouraged local vendors who wish to have their own merchandise considered to be sold by the Marysville Walmart, to contact her through the store’s phone number at 360-658-3658. “After Arlington, Quil Ceda, Everett and the two stores in Lynnwood, Marysville’s is the sixth Walmart store to be opened in Snohomish County.” The Halloween candy and matching decorations are part of the store’s seasonal section, which will expand during Christmastime to cover the garden sections as well, with Christmas trees

In the meantime, the garden sections are opening too late to display summer lawn furniture, so they’ll be offering everything from charcoal and barbecue sets to rakes and other equipment for fall yard work. “And right behind our party goods area and seasonal greetings cards are our arts and crafts supplies, including tools for scrapbooking and four shelves of fabric bolts that can be cut to order,” Smith said. “That custom fabric-cutting service is available at no other Walmart, area customers have been asking for it.” Another request that area Walmart stores have

been receiving more often has been more food and support for local food banks, so Dell Deierling of the Marysville Community Food Bank and Jerrie Inman of the Arlington Community Food Bank were pleased to meet for Marysville Walmart staff to discuss possible donations. “We’re happy to have the new Walmart here, especially since it’ll mean a huge boost of food for us,” Deierling said. “Walmart is one of the

largest food donors for either of our food banks,” said Inman, who pointed out that Walmart matches its employees’ donations and volunteered hours of time, much like Boeing and Bank of America. “Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.” “This is a good location for us,” Smith said. “We have great in-and-out access to both Highway 9 and SR 528, and we’re surrounded by residential neighborhoods.”

Public discusses proposed renovations for Lakewood High School BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The good news from the Monday, Aug. 26, public meeting at Lakewood High School was that the main high school building could be fully renovated, and new classrooms could be added

to replace its aging secondary buildings and portables, without raising the current tax rates for homeowners living within the Lakewood School District. The news that even the most positive of meeting attendees admitted would be a tough sell is that the district’s Educational

Specification Committee has recommended additional renovations for Lakewood High School that would increase local homeowners’ taxes by $14.22 per month from the 2013 rates, based on a property with $250,000 of assessed value. Ac c ord i ng to Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock, even with site work to improve the high school campus’ traffic, parking and utilities, plus field and tennis court upgrades, a new bond would cost $59.8 million, which would be reduced to $53.4 million with state funding assistance, thereby yielding no tax increase for homeowners. However, if the bond were to include all five of the additional projects proposed by the Ed Spec Committee — additional space for new educational programs, collaborative learning areas, an auxiliary gymnasium, synthetic turf for soccer, track and field, and both competition and practice fields for softball and baseball — the price tag would shoot up to $77.8 million, which would still

be $71.4 million even with state construction assistance. When Haddock asked attendees of the Aug. 26 public meeting to work in small groups to rate those five additional projects in terms of how important those survey respondents considered them to be, many spokespersons for their groups deemed all five additional projects to be equally essential to the bond, albeit interspersed with a few voices of relative caution. “As we’re preparing our students for college careers, we need to offer them everything we can now,” Lars Espeland said. “An extra $171 a year in taxes is well worth it.” “If we don’t ask for it now, we probably won’t be able to ask for it later,” Peggy Webb said. “We need everything on this list, so we have to try to sell it to the community. We want our students to want to go to Lakewood High School.” “You’ve got to get the community to say yes,” Katy Trapp said. “If their taxes are going up by $9.99 a month or less, then that’s a cup of coffee, but if it’s nearly $15 a month, that feels too much like an extra bill.” “I worked on the last levy committee, and it passed by 58 percent,” Barbara Farrand said. “This would require a 60 percent majority to pass, and if there’s too much in this package, it won’t pass because a lot of retirees in this district won’t see what you see in

Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock acknowledges the higher costs of the Educational Specification Committee’s additional recommendations for the proposed Lakewood High School bond. these projects.” A number of attendees proposed cost mitigations of their own. While district officials explained that Alisa Roebke’s suggestion of extending the bond repayment timeline would result in a greater cost in the long run due to interest rates, they agreed that Sally Newman’s proposed green energy measures would save money in the long run, but unfortunately add to the bond’s initial price tag. When Todd Duitsman inquired about soliciting corporate endorsements,

and Larry Delaney asked the same about partnering with the local cities or Native American tribes, Haddock didn’t rule out those ideas. Haddock promised that the Lakewood School District would solicit further public input during their ice cream socials and open houses at the English Crossing and Cougar Creek elementary schools on Thursday, Aug. 29, at Lakewood High School on Wednesday, Sept. 11, and at Lakewood Middle School on Tuesday, Sept. 17.

Community Health Center opens in Arlington BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Cascade Valley Hospital has had a new neighbor since Monday, Aug. 12, when the newest branch of the Community Health Center of Snohomish County opened its doors at 326 S. Stillaguamish Ave. in Arlington to serve uninsured, under-insured and under-served patients throughout the local area. Lisa Miller underscored the relative scarcity of resources for such patients by noting that many of the same patients whom she saw as the practice manager for the CHC’s Broadway clinic in Everett have met her again

as the assistant director of operations at the CHC’s new clinic in Arlington. “So many of the patients that I saw down there actually live up here, so they were having to commute from Arlington and even Darrington just to get health care,” Miller said. “We’ve received so many welcomes from this community, from the city and the fire department to the hospital and other area health care organizations. It’s not an easy thing for less-privileged patients to navigate the health care system.” The 10,458-square-foot clinic’s in-house services include primary care for all ages, behavioral health and dental for all ages, although

Miller acknowledged that it’s relying on a referral network in place of on-site specialists, and while it’s slated to host its own pharmacy, that’s not expected to arrive until January. “Certain services depend on our patient population, so for on-site specialists, we’ll probably have to wait until the visits to this clinic increase,” Miller said. “And our 403(b) status allows us to price our services at a lower cost than retail, but you have to be a patient of the Community Health Center, and not be seeing anyone else for your primary care.” Patients have access to all of the Community Health Centers of Snohomish County’s services, and can be

referred to coordinators for special types of health care. “We work with the uninsured and under-insured on a one-on-one basis,” Miller said. “Right now, we have two MDs, and we’re looking to recruit an RN.” One overlooked feature of the CHC’s Arlington branch that Miller loves is its location, directly north of the Cascade Valley Hospital on S. Stillaguamish Avenue and right next to the bus stop. “We couldn’t have asked for a better place,” Miller said. “Almost everyone knows where the hospital is, and can get here by bus.” The interior of the former Cascade Medical Center facility, which now houses the CHC’s Arlington clinic, was renovated to create a more natural and efficient flow of patient care. “We’ve got nice big exam rooms and a nice big procedure room, so our patients will be comfortable while they’re here,” Miller said. “Referrals can be an obstacle if you’re uninsured or under-insured, since you’re required to pay out of pocket if you don’t have insurance, but we will work with those patients, and are willing to take payments.” “The numbers of retired people and working poor who face these obstacles every day are continuing to extend upward,” said Dr. Steve Aguila, of the Community Health Center of Snohomish County in Arlington. “To make these medical services work, we have a staff of wonderful, dedicated people who

We’d just

hate to see so many of our qualifying patients miss out on this opportunity.” The medical clinic of the Community Health Center of Snohomish County in Arlington is open from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays through Wednesdays and Fridays, and from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Thursdays, and you can call 360-572-5400 to schedule appointments. Its dental clinic is open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Mondays through Fridays, and you call 360-572-5430 to schedule appointments.

Snohomish County’s Surface Water Management Division is seeking input as it gathers comments and ideas to balance programs and services with changing needs. The process could potentially lead to a countywide restructuring of Surface Water Management rates. Surface Water Management invites you to participate in an online survey and provide input at www.survey. surfacewater.info. “So far, we’ve talked with dozens of residents and customers, and hundreds have participated in our online survey,” Surface Water Management Director Debbie Terwilleger said. “We’re pleased with the level of input we are receiving but would like to see more participation countywide.” Surface Water Management

provides a variety of services to its customers, and is currently evaluating whether these services should be changed, and how the division can do more to solve specific problems that property owners are experiencing. “The information we are

gathering will help us align our existing and future programs and services with the needs identified through this process,” Terwilleger said. Currently, the division: n Helps property owners by visiting sites (at the request of the property owner) to review and evaluate drainage problems. n Investigates and stops water pollution problems. n Works with homeowners’ associations to support their management of Native Growth Protection Areas. n Provides technical

assistance to landowners living next to rivers. n Works with property owners adjacent to lakes to improve water quality and to remove milfoil. n Monitors lakes throughout Snohomish County, providing toxic algae and other health-related warnings. n Builds projects to reduce road, sidewalk and property flooding. n Maintains and manages stormwater detention facilities throughout the county. n Constructs projects to improve habitat for salmon. n Regularly inventories drainage systems, and provides a variety of maps for property owners, other jurisdictions and the development community. n Works with commercial property owners to help

them comply with water quality regulations. n Inspects and manages dikes and levees to ensure they protect roads and properties during flooding. n Coordinates projects with agencies, organizations, committees and others throughout the region for mutual benefit. n Provides outreach and education to the public and stakeholders on surface water management issues. The division is in the process of gathering broad public input, and studying options for improving services to benefit its customers and partners. For additional information, please contact Mike McGuiness in Surface Water Management, via email at m.mcguiness@snoco.org or by phone at 425-388-3464, ext. 4562.

Eagles prepare for football season BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Eagles are preparing for their first game against MarysvillePilchuck, and they’ve got some returning talent and newcomers to help them this season. “We are returning two starting linemen on offense and returning three receivers and that’s it for offense,” said head coach Greg Dailer. “Defensively, we have two on the defensive line and one linebacker, and then three out of our four of our secondary, so we’ve got six returning on defense. Our secondary should be a strong seat for us, and the defensive line should be strong for us as well.” The Eagles went 5-6 in 2012 and made it through two post-season games. Skylor Elgarico graduated in the spring, as did John Decker and A.J. Passalacqua. “Well, our running back situation is a little new,” said Dailer. “Jared Alskog started as a corner and Alex Hayward, a junior, both kind of came on this season. We have a decent battle

going between our sophomore quarterback Bairmuid Murphy and junior Cameron Scrimgeour. Scrimgeour is doing really well and Bairmuid was sort of a surprise talent.” On the first day of practice, Wednesday, Aug. 21, Dailer spoke to the team about their goals. “You know what I see when I drive to work?” he asked them. “Mount Pilchuck. And every time I see it, I think, ‘We climbed that this summer, together.’ Anyone can climb it if they choose to do it. Just like we can take down MarysvillePilchuck if we choose to do it. But it’s not one guy that wins the game. Don’t go into a game thinking, ‘Oh, this guy is really good.’ Ask yourselves, ‘Are they as good as we are?’ We have to choose to be number one.” The Eagles are hoping to improve their record from last season and focus on immediate goals before thinking about another state championship try. “I think that we have high expectations as a group and we feel we should compete for the Wesco North title this year. That’s the

August 28, 2013

whole team’s focus right now,” said Dailer. “We have Marysville-Pilchuck for our first opponent and they will give us a good idea of where we are.” Arlington will host the Tomahawks at John C. Larson Stadium on Friday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m.

Regal Eagle Auction The Arlington Gridiron Club is hosting its annual Regal Eagle Auction on Saturday, Sept. 7, to raise money for scholarships and equipment to support the Arlington High School football team. “This is our annual auction,” said Diona Ries, event coordinator. “We have a silent auction and a live auction, and we will also have a band called, ‘Last Call’ playing live music. They are a local band who played at the 3-on-3 X-travaganza.” The auction begins at 5 p.m. at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, and attendees must be 21 years or older as tickets include two drink coupons as well as a catered dinner. There will also be a Dessert Dash following the meal. Donations came in from

The Blazing Onion restaurant, Action Sports, Flowers by George, Paraiso Mexican Restaurant, Stillaguamish Athletic Club, KRKO Sports Radio, Eagle Family Dental, Seattle Seahawks, Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, Studio 5, Angel of the

Winds Casino and Scott Stayer, D.D.S., have all donated to the cause so far, though the Gridiron Club is still accepting donations. “We have many more to come along, with many Eagle families who are donating,” said Ries. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The auction funds directly support the Eagle football team, including for buying new equipment,

preparing college scholarships and team camp scholarships. The Gridiron Club is a booster club organization for the Eagles and its objective is to encourage support for the AHS team. The cost of the auction is $35 for a single ticket and $60 for a couple. To purchase tickets, mail a check noted with “Auction” to the Gridiron Club at P.O. Box 510, Arlington, WA 98223.

Lakewood Cougars practice plays on Monday, Aug. 26, after having a teambuilding day on Saturday, Aug. 24.

LAKEWOOD — The Cougars are back on the field for the first week of practice and have quite a few replacements to make, having graduated most of their offensive line — and they are taking the opportunity to be even better. “It’s a process that is inevitable in high school football — you’re not going to keep the kids forever,” said head coach Dan Teeter. “There are a lot of kids who are working hard, looking for their time to shine. And it’s fun for the coaches because we need to go back and re-teach things that our guys with experience already knew — so we are looking forward to it.” The Cougars went 9-2 in 2012 and ranked sixth in the state for the 2A, having made it to the state quarterfinals. Justin Peterson,

Donovan Evans, Kolby Schueller and Brandon Stott were major players on the Cougars’ lineup last year but have moved on to college. “We have two returning starters on the offensive line,” said Teeter. “Defensively, we’ve got six returners. We are basically replacing everybody who touched the football last year. Both of our quarterbacks graduated, as well as our top receivers and our top running backs. All offensive positions that touched the football last year are gone.” That’s not to say that the team is lacking in talent — quite the contrary. Players have been taking time in the off-season for practice and weight room hours, all in preparation for this year. “We have kids who are working hard to step up,” said Teeter. “Blake Watts is the starting quarterback and

he has worked really hard in the off-season. Running back Paulmer Gregory, a junior, saw a lot of varsity time last season. Keana Jackson, a senior, is battling for the running back position.” Some familiar faces have returned to improve as receivers as well. “Our new slot receivers have been doing very well at practice,” said Teeter. “We’ve got Brett Bustad and Randy Anaya stepping up.” The Cougars will host Washington High School on Friday, Sept. 6, for the first game of the season. “We feel really strong,” said Teeter. “Saturday night was one of our big team building days and it was our first double practice. We got to know about everybody on the team and the things they are dealing with, so it was a real positive night.”

MARBLEMOUNT — Arlington’s Thom McCoy, 61, left his home on Wednesday, Aug. 7, to go hiking in east Skagit County, but he hasn’t been seen or heard from since. “He was reported overdue on Aug. 11, and the Skagit County Sheriff ’s department launched a search and rescue from his last known location — in this case, from where his vehicle was parked,” Skagit County Sheriff ’s Search and Rescue Sgt. Chris Kading said. “When he failed to return to his car, he was reported missing by family members. This was late Sunday evening (on Aug. 11), and we waited until first thing Monday morning (on Aug. 12) to begin the search.” McCoy told family members that he would be hiking into Found Lake to do some fishing and photography. Found Lake is an alpine lake in the North Cascades wilderness, located 15 miles east and five miles south of Marblemount, with heavy elevation gain on the trail. “This is very treacherous terrain, and it’s really hard to get into,” Kading said. “It’s a five-hour hike into Found Lake, and the elevation is roughly 5,400 feet. There are places where searchers were on their hands and knees climbing into these areas. We had a significant search pattern all the way from the vehicle. We covered the obvious tracks to where he said he was going to be. The helicopters were very critical, because they saved us from having to hike five hours into the place. Some of the mountain rescuers had to spend the night because they couldn’t get out in time. It’s very remote.” Skagit County was aided by Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Search and Rescue teams, Mountain Rescue searchers, Customs and Border Protection, a private citizen from Snohomish County who used his own helicopter, and members

of law enforcement from Snohomish, King and Kitsap counties. “We searched for three days, both in the air and on the ground,” Kading said. “We suspended the search on Aug. 15, having found no evidence of the hiker. We told the family that this search is not closed, simply suspended pending any new leads. He knows the area and he’s hiked there before. He’s equipped to spend one week in the brush, and we are hopeful that he was able to extend his stay.” Helga Roberts, a friend of Thom McCoy’s wife Pam, volunteered her phone number of 206-779-3007 as a contact for those interested in continuing the search from Friday, Aug. 16, forward. “We must have had 20 different people involved in the search that weekend (from Aug. 16-18), although not all at the same time,” said Roberts, who credited local newspaper coverage with helping to recruit at least 10 of those volunteer searchers. “Thom’s sons were there that Friday and Saturday, with quite a few of their friends. It’s been really encouraging how many people have wanted to help, but so far, we’ve found nothing.” Roberts reported that the McCoy family has retained Harry Oakes, the CEO and search and rescue coordinator for International K-9 Search and Rescue Services, to continue the search from Monday, Aug. 18, forward. The other volunteer searchers vacated the area by the evening of Sunday, Aug. 17, so that Oakes’ K-9 wouldn’t be confused by too many competing scents. According to Roberts, the K-9 detected an indeterminate scent at Found Lake, but otherwise, “It’s not really going well.” Although Kading reiterated that the Skagit County Sheriff ’s department search is merely suspended, and not closed, he acknowledged that too many details are being negotiated for him to disclose at this time when their search might resume.

“It’s quite frustrating,” Kading said. “Usually, there’s some evidence that turns up, but we haven’t found anything — not a campfire, not a footstep, nothing.” “In the meantime, I just want to thank all those who came out to search for Thom, especially since we might need you again,” Roberts said. A Facebook page has been set up at www.facebook.com/pages/Find-ThomMccoy/565647063471664 to provide updates on the ongoing search efforts, which can be funded through online donations at www.gofundme.com/3zu17s.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington United Church commemorates the 100th anniversary of its current building’s dedication at 338 N. Macleod Ave. in Arlington on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 31, and the morning of Sunday, Sept. 1. Pastor Deena Jones will lead the Sunday morning worship, and both current and former members are welcome to join those with a connection to the historical church in attending and celebrating a full century of ministry in Arlington. The Arlington church building was dedicated

on Sept. 1, 1913, as a congregational church. At the time, the street on which the church is located was a road used to skid logs to a mill at the base of the hill. The Arlington United Church building has been in continual use by the same congregation for longer than any other church building in Arlington. On Aug. 31, guests are invited to dinner at 5 p.m. — RSVP to 360-435-3259 if you plan to attend — along with a “sharing and singing program,” the singing of which will be provided by the Arlington United Church

Choir, with the sharing of recollections about the church and its role in the community to be inspired by displays of memorabilia about the early church and the general period in which it was built. On Sept. 1, the Sunday morning worship service will commence at 10:15 a.m. — including music by the Aylesworth Family Singers, the Arlington United Church Praise Band, and the church’s organist and pianist — with a potluck to follow. For more information about this event, call 360435-3259 or email aucoffice@ yahoo.com.

A missing person report released by the Arlington Police Department added that Imrie left his cell phone and vehicle behind, “may be depressed or potentially suicidal” and “has a history of recreational drug use.” Imrie’s case number with the Arlington Police is 13-1271. Imrie’s girlfriend, Shelly Bryant, has set up a Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Find. JeremyImrie13.1271 to network with anyone who might have any clues about him. “Jeremy was the kind of person who would light up a room with his warm personality and sense of humor,” Bryant said. “He was a hardworking, loyal, kindhearted man who was devoted to his loved ones. He loved his children, his family and his childhood friends dearly. He is loved by many and missed by all who know him.” Bryant praised Imrie as an excellent provider for her and her family alike, and described both his disappearance and his lack of contact with either family or friends as entirely out of character for him. “His mother and I support each other, and would like Jeremy to know that he is loved and will always be welcomed with open arms and joyous hearts,” Bryant said. “We miss him deeply and pray every day for his safe return.”

MILITARY BRIEFS

Nichole G. Lund Navy Seaman Recruit Nichole G. Lund, daughter of Loreen K. Lund of Marysville, Wash., and Chris L. Lund, of Jacksonville, Ore., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Lund completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’ flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

Vandelac is the son of Vaughn Vandelac of Everett, and Angela Savoie of Marysville. He is a 2011 graduate of Lakewood High School, Arlington.

Lund is a 2009 graduate of Everett Community College of Everett, Wash.

Jordan T. Vandelac Army Reserve Pvt. Jordan T. Vandelac has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches and field training exercises.

Gabriel D. Marshman Air Force Airman Gabriel D. Marshman graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, San Antonio, Texas. The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness, and basic warfare principles and skills. Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Marshman is the son of Thomas and Kary Marshman of 116th Street NE, Arlington.

Navy outreach, training set for Sept. 12 EVERETT — The U.S. Navy throughout Puget Sound makes substantial purchases of goods and services from local businesses, which can now learn the basics of selling to the Navy — what and how the Navy buys — and understand the fundamentals of marketing in any federal contracting environment. Discover the resources available to small businesses from your local Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), and meet representatives from Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest, Naval Undersea Warfare Center and Keyport on Thursday, Sept. 12, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Workforce Development Council Board room at the Economic Alliance of Snohomish County offices, located in Suite 217 at 728 134th St. SW in Everett, will host this free-of-charge presentation by the Northwest Washington PTAC, which will be followed by an opportunity to network with Navy representatives. Lunch will not be provided, and registration is required and limited to small businesses with products or services applicable to Navy requirements. Register online at http://washingtonptac. org/events-workshops. For assistance, contact Jean Hales by phone at 425-248-4223 or via email at snohomish@washingtonptac.org.

Klein family picnic celebrates 44th year BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Klein family is calling all area Kleins, Kazens, Kruses, Knudsons, Otters and other families who might have married into the Kleins, so that they can all come together for the 44th annual Klein family picnic on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Jim and Bev Klein’s place in Marysville. “Last year, I sent out 67 invitations,” said Shelley Klein, who’s been helping to organize the event. “This year, it was 150, plus I’ve sent messages to the people who had left their email addresses in last year’s guestbook, reminding them that the Klein family picnic is coming up. There’s one family that usually only has the dad come, and maybe his wife, but this year, they’re looking to bring their whole family, including their relatives in California and Arizona.” Although the annual gathering is strictly limited

to the Klein family and its extended kin, its hundredsstrong crowds of attendees each year have necessitated admission fees, but Shelley Klein hopes the silent auction this year will balance out the attendance fees, which have been eliminated. “There will be no cost for this year’s family reunion,” Shelley Klein said. “With any luck, we’ll get enough bids and donations to cover the costs of putting on this picnic.” Because she’d received feedback that last year’s auction closed too early in the day, Klein promised that this year’s auction wouldn’t close until 1:30 p.m., providing a half-hour buffer between the end of the auction and the start of games at 2 p.m. Another new wrinkle this year will be hamburgers and hot dogs, in addition to the pot luck dishes traditionally supplied by attendees. “We’ve never done hamburgers or hot dogs before,”

Klein said. “With the pot luck, it seems like we always have more desserts than main menu items, so we asked for people to balance that out a bit more last year, and it worked out pretty well, but this year, we also bought a whole bunch of hamburgers and hot dogs, since not everyone who attends the picnic is well off.” Jim and Bev Klein’s place is located at 6101 152nd St. NE in Marysville. For more information, or to donate items for the silent auction, call Shelley Klein at 360-4352245 or 360-391-5032.

AG’s ruling raises questions about Cascade Valley’s possible affiliation BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Cascade Valley Hospital faces some serious questions after the state Attorney General’s office issued Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s formal opinion that a public hospital district providing maternity care must also provide “substantially equivalent benefits, services or information” regarding contraception and abortion. The Attorney General’s office issued the formal opinion on Wednesday, Aug. 21, in response to a request by state Sen. Kevin Ranker, D-Orcas Island, who asked if a public hospital district violates Initiative 120 if it solely contracts with a health care provider that does not provide reproductive care services, such as contraception or abortion. This opinion impacts the Cascade Valley, Island and Skagit Valley hospitals, because those three partnered nonprofit community hospitals have been considering possible affiliations with one of four larger nonprofit health care sys-

tems — Providence/Swedish, Virginia Mason, University of Washington Medicine and PeaceHealth — two of which are Catholic. Heather Logan, assistant administrator of Cascade Valley Hospital, had reported that attendees of a July 31 community forum, conducted in Mount Vernon by the joint boards of commissioners for the three hospitals, had expressed reservations about Providence/Swedish and PeaceHealth restricting certain services according to Catholic doctrine. Cascade Valley Hospital CEO Clark Jones had previously summarized Providence/Swedish and PeaceHealth’s approaches to reproductive issues by noting that, while they will not provide elective abortions within their facilities, they do allow their physicians to make those referrals. However, in the wake of the Attorney General’s opinion, Jones acknowledged that further clarification will be needed in that area.

“I am not an attorney, nor have I consulted with our attorney about the Attorney General’s opinion issued today,” Jones said on Aug. 21. “However, it appears that, if we were to select a Catholic organization for affiliation, any issues raised by the Attorney General’s opinion will have to be addressed.” In spite of these concerns — as well as the Attorney General’s lack of clarification about how hospital districts might comply with Initiative 120, or even what exactly constitutes “substantially equivalent benefits, services or information” — Jones doesn’t believe that such complications on their own will rule out either of the two Catholic organizations as potential choices, nor does he anticipate any delays in the three hospital boards’ decision, which he expects them to make at their joint meeting on Thursday, Aug. 29, in Mount Vernon. As of Thursday, Aug. 22, Jones was on leave and unavailable for comment.
