ARLINGTON — For the fourth year in a row, one of the city of Arlington’s oft-overlooked parks received a touch-up courtesy of their nearby neighbors.
Close to 20 employees of the Windermere Real Estate office in Arlington benefitted from a sunny morning on Friday, June 21, as they descended upon Centennial Park on Division Street, just east of the roundabout next to the Public Utility District, to spruce up its greenery.
Arlington Windermere owner Gene Bryson explained that the Arlington Windermere office’s official adoption
of Centennial Park three years ago was intended to show their appreciation to the Arlington community for their support, in turn, for the Windermere office at 210 E. Burke Ave. over the course of the past two decades.
“We’ve done projects like this throughout North Snohomish County,” said Bryson, who acknowl-edged that Centennial Park’s proxim-ity to their office makes it a convenient location for them to perform their annual day of service labors, but also touted the park as a hidden treasure of Arlington. “It’s a lot bigger than a lot of

ARLINGTON — This year’s Arlington Relay For Life had generated $195,890.29 from 99 teams made up of 815 individu-als by the time it wrapped up on the morning on Sunday, June 23, at the John C. Larson Stadium, but Arlington Relay co-chair Kim Deisher-Allen has-tened to remind attendees and the community at large that the Relay will continue to collect donated funds for this year through Aug. 31, since the Arlington Relay organizers’ goal is to raise a total of $1 million for the four years that Relay has been a part of Arlington.
Deisher-Allen kicked off the opening ceremonies of the fourth annual Arlington Relay on Saturday, June 22, by recalling her father’s fight
with cancer, which began in 2009 and lasted much longer than his doctors had initially predicted.
“He was given three months to live,” said Deisher-Allen, who grew tearful as she recounted how successive rounds of chemo, radiation and sur-gery ultimately left him in a condition she compared to that of an Alzheimer’s patient, even as those mea-sures allowed him to cele-brate his 70th birthday with his family. “He lived for 26 months after his diagnosis, much more than the three he was given. Being a care-giver to him was such a blessing, even when it got so hard, that I’d do it all over again just to see my dad.”
Like Deisher-Allen, Erin Lewis was accustomed to

people think. We always hit the most visible parts first, but it’s more than just the one block, so it usually takes our full crew to complete it.”
The Arlington Windermere office staff has taken turns on tasks rang-ing from basic cleanup, weeding and landscaping work to previous years of painting and this year’s lay-ing down of a truckload of bark donated by the city of Arlington, which took them from about 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. this year, adding up to a number of man-hours that Bryson is happy to perform in place of what he sees as already overcommitted city workers.
“I don’t think a lot of peo-ple realize how limited the city’s staff really is,” Bryson said. “Especially given the number of parks that the city is responsible for main-taining, as well as the ceme-tery grounds, they just don’t have very many people to go around. Some of this stuff simply wouldn’t be able to get done otherwise.”
One task that always needs to be done when the Windermere volunteers
show up to Centennial Park is “dead-heading” the rho-dodendron bushes lining the park on both sides of the street.
“You take these wilted blooms off, after it blooms in May, and you’ll get twice as many blooms the next year,” said Katrina Davidson, who’s volun-teered for Windermere community service days for more than two decades.
“Every year this event gets a little bigger,” said Bryson, who takes pride in its minimal overhead. “We just want to make the city even more beautiful.”
Every year since 1984, Windermere offices have dedicated a day of service to joining together so they can complete neighborhood improvement projects.
“Creating vibrant com-munities is one of the things that inspire the Windermere network to be involved in service projects that make things a little brighter for their neighbors,” Bryson said.
balancing a career with being a mom when her life was impacted by cancer, but for Lewis, an occupational therapist, the struggle came from learning to let other people become her caregiv-ers when she was diagnosed with cancer.
“I left work to focus on me, which is something I’ve never done before,” Lewis said. “Everywhere I went, people hugged me and supported me. Even the ladies at Haggen’s became my friends. Never under-estimate the power of the group. I’m here because I hate to think of someone else following in my foot-steps without getting the support I received.”
In spite of the seriousness of their cause, the mood of the participants was upbeat and festive, as groups like “Team Star Wars” — almost all of whom were walking for grandparents who have fought cancer — donned the costumes of their favor-ite characters from those films.
Sue Weiss, captain of the “Friends For a Cure” team, took pride not only
in her group of 13 “over-nighting” in the Arlington High School stadium for the event, but also raising well in excess of $7,000 in the pro-cess, thereby putting them in third place for this year’s most fundraising teams.
“We’ve been in the top three teams for all three years that we’ve done this, said Weiss, who noted that “Friends For a Cure” even made it to the No. 1 spot in a previous year. “We don’t sleep, but we have lots of
fun and we’re very passion-ate. Everyone on this team comes together.”
When it came to fund-raising, nobody was beat-ing “Team Nana,” the top team, or D’Andrea Olsen, the team’s captain and No. 1 individual fundraiser for this year’s Arlington Relay. Of the roughly $14,000 raised by “Team Nana,” Olsen generated slightly more than $10,000 of it.
“Our first year, we only had one team, but this year,
our ‘Team 1’ had 15 walk-ers and ‘Team 2’ had about seven or eight,” said Olsen, whose team has also been involved in the Arlington Relay for three years. “My mother passed away from cancer a year and a half ago, and my brother has been in remission for about 12 years. We have a big fam-ily, and this is our way of healing. It’s been therapeu-tic to know we’ve been able to help other families in our situation.”

MARYSVILLE — While the cit-ies of Arlington and Marysville encourage their citizens to cele-brate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday in a festive manner, the cities’ police officers and firefight-ers want to make sure that those who choose to use fireworks do so in a safe and legal fashion.
The city of Arlington allows fireworks to be sold from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, June 28, through Thursday, July 4, whereas the city of Marysville allows fireworks to be sold from noon to 11 p.m. on June 28 and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Saturday, June 29, through July 4.
Marysville residents may dis-charge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4, while Arlington residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and midnight on July 4.
Neither city allows its residents to discharge their fireworks on any other day, outside of the New Year holiday, and both cities limit their legal fireworks to Class C, or “safe and sane” fireworks. Neighboring Native American reservations may sell fireworks that do not conform to these laws, but such fireworks must be detonated on reservation lands.
The retail fireworks stands of “Boom City” on the Tulalip Tribal
Reservation also provide a light-ing and detonation area on site for customers, since not all of the fireworks sold at Boom City are allowed to be detonated off the reservation. Security personnel will monitor the area to ensure that children aged 12 years and younger have adults aged 18 years or older present.
According to Marysville Fire District Division Chief and Fire Marshal Tom Maloney, fireworks that are illegal off tribal lands include bottle rockets, skyrockets, missiles and firecrackers. M-80s and larger, as well as dynamite and any improvised, homemade or altered explosive devices such as tennis balls, sparkler bombs or cherry bombs are likewise ille-gal explosive devices, and those who possess or use such illegal explosive devices can expect to be charged with a felony.
State Fire Marshal Charles Duffy is reminding Washingtonians that the purchase of fireworks over the Internet is illegal. In Washington state, fireworks must be purchased from a licensed retail fireworks stand during the legal sales period. Orders for fireworks cannot be placed over the Internet, or posted on websites such as Craigslist
In its online list of tips to the pub-lic, the Arlington Fire Department noted that illegal fireworks are often unpackaged and wrapped in plain brown paper, and warned
against purchasing any fireworks that are not in their original pack-ages, or are in opened or damaged packages.
Marysville police are taking enforcement of these laws serious-ly and will be citing those caught with illegal fireworks between now and the Fourth of July. Under state law, possession or discharge of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to a year in jail and a mandatory court appearance. City of Marysville Public Information Officer Doug Buell pointed out that Marysville police can issue criminal citations to violators or civil citations, the latter similar to a standard ticket.
Marysville police may issue a civil infraction, or fine, in an amount up to $500, instead of a criminal citation. The criminal misdemeanor fine is consistent with the standard state penalty of an amount not to exceed $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. Gross mis-demeanor offenses carry a fine of up to $5,000 and/or a year in jail, and a person with three or more civil infractions within a two-year time period will be cited for a misdemeanor.
Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux explained that such civil infractions enable officers to spend more time on the streets responding to fireworks com-plaints, and less time processing
criminal citation paperwork. He added that the safety of individ-uals and property is the police department’s utmost concern.
“Use caution and follow safety rules for responsible use of fire-works,” Lamoureux said. “Illegal fireworks in particular pose a pub-lic safety and medical hazard, and they have the potential to cause property damage in the Marysville area.”
Although Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield believes that Arlington police are more likely to try and educate those using illegal fire-works, or those using fireworks illegally, she warned that, “If they have to make a repeat trip to your place for fireworks, it’ll probably result in a fine.”
Officials in both cities urge Fourth of July holiday revelers to clean up their fireworks after they’re finished.
“After you light it up, clean it up,” Buell said. “Discarded fire-works the days after the Fourth are a neighborhood eyesore, and smoldering, spent fireworks can still pose a fire hazard if not dis-posed of properly.”
To dispose of spent fireworks properly, the Arlington Fire Department advises that people let their used fireworks lay on the ground until they are cool and there is no chance that any residue will reignite, after which
they should place all the expended firework cases in a bucket of water to soak them thoroughly. Those who use fireworks should keep a bucket of water or a running water hose close by in case of a firework malfunction or fire.
“First and foremost, our fire and police chiefs strongly encourage our residents to stay safe by attend-ing the local public displays, such as the one at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,” Banfield said. “If you do use fireworks, however, only use them as intended, and use common sense. Don’t try to alter them or combine them, and never relight a ‘dud’ firework. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter, and alcohol and fire-works do not mix, so have a ‘des-ignated shooter.’ Only those older than 12 years old should be allowed to handle fireworks, especially sparklers of any type.”

Last September we took a look at Marysville’s 10th Street School’s plan to convert to
iPads as the central learning device. Every student would have one. Most parents equipped their kids with the devices and school fundraisers cov-ered costs for the rest. It was a local experiment being played out in a scatter of schools across the map.
Tenth Street’s head teacher, Brian Churchill, explained the plan which was embraced by the school’s enthusiastic core of teachers. As with any large-scale change, there were questions that only experience could answer. How would a mix of textbooks and iPads work out? How might issues arising from the district’s curriculum be addressed through iPad learning? Or more simply put, how would iPads interface with a traditional curriculum?
A school year has passed. Much to my surprise, Brian, my super-enthusiastic exponent of iPad instruction, retired two weeks after our meeting in September. But his departure did nothing to dim the staff ’s dedication to the project. My new source is James Delazzari, current team-leader who inherited Brian’s enthusiasm.
The 10th Street School is hard to describe. It has an off-site part-time principal whose abilities are available when needed. It has James, designated team leader, who coordinates learning activities. It has a level of parental support
that can’t be found in other area schools. And it has iPads for each student.
On the surface, 10th Street may seem like a Charter School. The National Alliance of Charter Schools says a Charter School should (a) adjust curriculum to meet student needs, (b) create a unique school culture and (c) develop next-generation learning models. So any pressure-group attempting to install a charter school in Marysville should under-stand that, for many practical purposes, we already have one for middle-schoolers.
What we thought to be a local experiment with iPads is actu-ally Marysville’s response to a nation-wide movement. When a lightweight device can access more information than the Sno-Isle library offers, when it has the capacity to store and search far more than the content of every K-12 textbook, when it is a writ-ing and communicating device, it deserves the hard look Marysville is giving it.
With one year of iPad experi-ence under their belts, Marysville teachers, students and parents are voicing the same questions being
asked across the map. Since some parents are providing their chil-dren with iPads, they wonder if the devices they buy will be different from leased devices provided by the district. The answer is, district devices are filtered to be squeaky-clean of potentially inappropriate sources.
The district holds classes to bring “technologically challenged” parents up to speed on iPads. They explain various insurance plans, discuss theft and security and offer counsel on which version to purchase.
The reach of these devices is such that no educator can, in good conscience, bar them from the educational scene. When setting them against traditional education you have a “That was then, this is now” situation. What was our future a few years ago has become our present reality. It’s why the YMCA recently offered a catch-up computer class for seniors.
The term, digital native, refers to young people who have grown up so steeped in computer lore that digitized electronics speak to their second nature. It is the rest of us who drag our feet. It’s an unfortu-nate reality is that all that educa-tional potential is, to a budgetary degree, controlled by a generation that, to some degree, fears it. For the kids’ sake, the technophobes among us need to get out of the way or get with it.
And now a hard look at what
was accomplished in a year of iPads: First, the business of keep-ing track: Drafts of students’ writings can be called up and com-pared. Assigned work for entire terms is easily accessed. Students, teachers and parents don’t have to wonder how a child is doing. It’s all there. Because assignments and their due-dates go anywhere the iPad goes, excuses like “I forgot” or “The dog at my homework” carry even less weight than they used to.
When a band teacher expects young musicians to master their parts, they record their efforts on iPads again and again until they get it right. Or not. The difference is that they have all the oppor-tunity in the world to get it right instead of succeeding or failing one-time auditions.
Discipline problems diminish. As in band, students in other sub-jects have opportunities (plural) to get things right which does good things for self-esteem. This evens the playing-field for achievement. Visitors notice less boredom and that more students are on task, though it might not be the task of the moment. Reports from else-where indicate more flex in what a student might learn at any given time.
There’s so much more to report that you’d have to talk with the kids for a full rundown.

MARYSVILLE — The Due family has been farm-ing in the Arlington and Marysville area for years, and now another genera-tion is carrying on the tra-dition.
Wayne and Becky Due held a grand opening for Dues Produce Barn on Saturday, June 22, and offer not only their well-known local strawberries, but anything from corn to mangoes, all grown on their farm or by other local farmers.
“We decided that Wayne knows how to grow and I know how to sell,” said Becky Due. “We thought, ‘We have the acreage — we should grow strawberries,’ and then it expanded to all kinds of produce. We are growing three different varieties of corn, summer squash, winter squash and decorative gourds. We’ll be open through to December with different seasonal fruits and vegetables.”
The original farmhouse and barn, located in North Marysville, near Smokey Point, was Wayne’s par-ents’ house, and has been around for more than 50 years.
“The Due family has been growing berries for 103 years,” said Wayne Due. “We are carrying on the tradition and our kids are involved when they can be. Our youngest daughter Jamie is working full time, and my mom is helping out. It’s a full-fledged fam-ily business.”
Jamie Due, 20, is a fifth generation Due, and loves spending time with her
mom and grandma at the barn.
“I love it, I’m very excited for what’s to come and all these fun new adventures,” she said, noting that she wouldn’t be opposed to fol-lowing in her family’s foot-steps and carrying on the tradition of growing food. “I think it’s definitely a pos-sibility, taking this over and really being a part of it.”
The barn will be open from April 1 to December every year.
“We will sell Christmas trees and we will invite local artisans in here to sell wreaths and crafts dur-ing the holiday season,” said Becky Due. “Shed Antiques, a business from Lakewood, has a spot here in the barn so people can buy antiques as well.”
Due’s Produce Barn is located at 4604 152nd St. NE, in Marysville, and cus-tomers flooded the barn before the grand opening had even occurred.
“This is wonderful. The people here are very knowledgable with the pro-duce and its a wonderful experience coming here,” said customer Rod Wolfe, of Bry’s TV in Marysville. “It’s local supporting local.”
Becky Due said she isn’t surprised that people have been shopping at the barn since they started stocking more than just berries.
“It’s what the local com-munity has been wanting and we’ve just had so much support from our sur-rounding neighborhoods,” she said, noting that sev-eral people have walked to the barn from the residen-tial areas nearby to pick up fresh goods. “People
are really excited about the local, fresh produce.”
For food that isn’t grown on-site, the Due fam-ily purchases from local farms from Skagit Valley to Wenatchee, and there is a reason they are set on buy-ing local.
“The rule of the farm is, know your farmer and how they practice,” she said. “We do not spray. All the local farms here are no-spray with all-natural soil. They’ve been practicing this way for more than a hundred years. The ben-efit is that you are going to have fresh, quality produce, picked everyday. And you are supporting your local community.”
Becky Due said that she is working on connect-ing with the Marysville Community Food Bank to eventually donate produce
on a regular basis.“We want to give back to
the community that is sup-porting us,” she said.

MiLitary BrieFSMARYSVILLE — On
Wednesday, June 19, Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force investiga-tors released information and the photo of James L. Phillips, with a request for the public’s help in locating Phillips.
Immediately following the first media broadcast of this information, Phillips called investigators and declined to turn himself in to police. Over the course of the afternoon and eve-ning, detectives learned that Phillips, a 32-year-old tran-sient living in Snohomish County, was planning to leave the Snohomish County area, and received tips about where Phillips might be.
At about 10:45 p.m. on June 19, Marysville Police officers stopped a vehicle in
the 5200 block of Sunnyside Boulevard, in which Phillips was a passenger. Phillips ran from the vehicle but was captured by officers. Phillips was transported to the Marysville Jail, and later transferred to the Snohomish County Jail, to be booked for the outstand-ing probable cause.
Detectives from SNOCAT Task Force had been coop-eratively investigating a string of auto thefts from Everett and Marysville since April of this year. The inves-tigation began on April 9, when Everett Police arrested a male suspect near Everett Community College, after he attempted to steal a pick-up truck.
Over the months that fol-lowed, SNOCAT Detectives worked with investiga-tors from the Everett and
Marysville police depart-ments to serve search war-rants and recover stolen property from multiple bur-glaries, as well as locating a number of stolen vehicles and stolen property from a chop shop in the Lake Goodwin and Lake Howard area.
Corey Johnson, a 31-year-old Marysville resident, was arrested and booked on numerous counts of pos-session of stolen vehicles, theft of motor vehicles and burglary. Phillips admitted to stealing at least 30 vehi-cles from the Everett and Marysville area over the last three months, and was a partner of Johnson’s.
Snohomish County law enforcement thanks the media and community for their help apprehending Phillips.

ARLINGTON — For the fourth year in a row, Haller Middle School’s sta-dium will shine bright on Saturday, July 13, as doz-ens of women dressed in full football gear (with pink hues) battle it out on the field to raise money for the local youth football asso-ciations.
Arlington’s Eagle Mamas will fight the Stanwood Spartan moms in the “Battle for the Stilly Puff Cup” — a game of aggres-sive flag football, known as Powder Puff, at Haller Middle School on Saturday, July 13.
“When it came about, four years ago, we had a lot of kids who couldn’t play football because their parents couldn’t pay fees,” said Randy Williams, presi-dent of the Arlington Youth
Football Association. “This was back when the econ-omy took a dive. We were racking our brains for a way to cover their fees when we thought, ‘Let’s do a Powder Puff game!’ We played Lakewood the first year, then Lakewood played M-P for the last three years and we played Stanwood the last three years.”
The entry fee for a single person is $5 and for a fam-ily is $10. All funds raised by Arlington fans will go to scholarships for play-ers in the AYFA, while funds raised by Stanwood
fans goes to support the Stanwood-Camano Youth Football program.
“Last year we incorpo-rated a carnival day,” said Williams. “We had a dunk tank and all the coaches took turns sitting in the dunk tank, so players could go up and try to dunk their coaches. We had putt-putt golf and more.”
The carnival will return again this year, and is set for 3 p.m., also at Haller Middle School’s field.
“We will have lots of games and food at the car-nival, and then we are put-
ting on a pre-game show at 6:30 p.m.,” said Melissa Adams, an AYFA mom and event volunteer, who also noted that the game will start at 7 p.m.
“It’s really great because there are a lot of other towns doing this and it’s getting more and more popular,” said Adams, who played as a part of the Eagle Mamas the last two years in a row. “We practice for two to three months because this is our one big fundraiser for the year. We are all just wanting to raise money for scholar-ships. We’ve been able to keep our prices down for a long time, which is good, through doing stuff like this.”
Arlington and Stanwood will have separate entrances so the teams can split the proceeds.

MARYSVILLE — On Friday, June 28, a group of adult women from Marysville will don helmets and football gear and face off against a team of women from Lakewood for the third-annual Powder Puff football game fundraiser.
The Marysville Charging Tomamamas are mothers of football players from the Marysville Youth Football League and the Lakewood Cougar Mamas are mothers of players from the Lakewood Youth Football Association. They will compete against one
another in a game of full-gear, flag football game at Quil Ceda Stadium on Friday, June 28.
“We have been practicing since early May, and we have 21 awesome players,” said Kym Gallo, who is organiz-ing the event for the Charging Tomamamas. “Our youth football league is a feeder program for both the high schools, so we changed our name to reflect that.”
“Each team will earn money for their organization,” said Gallo, who noted that the team played against Lake Stevens on Friday, June 21, for the Vikings
first ever Powder Puff game. “This is Lake Stevens’ first year. They contacted us and said they were interested in playing, and finding out what it’s all about and how much money we could make. We kind of wanted to open the door for them and get their first year under their belt so they knew what they were doing for next year. We’ve always played the Lakewood Cougar Mamas. In our first game we came out $5,000 ahead and last year we made $8,000.”
There will be a gate for each team, so that fans can expect their funds to be spent on their association.
“This is a huge fundrais-er,” said Gallo. “Us moms go crazy when it’s a fund-raiser and we always have a blast. The past two years we’ve actually been able to buy new equipment, and new helmets and shoulder pads for our players.”
“We are hoping that with the extra ticket sales from the Lake Stevens game, we can reach $10,000 total,” said Gallo. “We are just a bunch of crazy moms having fun.”
During halftime, cheer-leaders and Dads dressed as cheerleaders perform a show, and this year par-ticipants can expect a rous-
ing rendition of the Funky Chicken.
Dawn Taylor, organizer for the Lakewood Cougar Mamas, is hoping to extend their winning streak.
“Last year we had a great fundraising year and we hope that we win again. Lakewood has been unde-feated all four years,” she said. “It’s a little nerve-wracking every year to be honest. The Marysville community is quite a bit larger than ours, and has more players to pull from, so that has us training really hard to prepare for each game.”
Whether they win or lose, the Cougar Mamas love their annual Powder Puff game.
“There is something about getting out there and playing,” said Taylor. “From the first practice ever it was an amaz-ing atmosphere. As a mom, having your kids look at you and say, ‘My mom plays foot-ball,’ is awesome. There are so many lessons in football that are also life lessons. Every year, I know that if I needed them my team would be there for me off the field. These are women who are flat-out dedicated — to their fami-lies and their community — and it’s wonderful to know that whatever you need, they will be there. I can’t imagine not doing it every year. From
the time you start practicing, you live and breathe football. The camaraderie that’s built is amazing and there’s some-thing about hitting someone else in pads,” she laughed. “There is something to be said at the end of a stressful day that we can go somewhere and slam into someone and get the stress out.”
Taylor hopes the com-munities in Lakewood and Marysville will come out on Friday, June 28, to support their local athletes.
“It’s a great night of family fun and it’s affordable — you can get your family in the door for $10,” she said. “It’s inex-pensive and it’s for a good cause. It’s a great facility with good, cheap food, and 100 percent of the money raised goes back to the program for these kids and families who can’t afford to play. For me, if you are a person who can’t go out on the field, you are still helping underprivileged families. Two-hundred dollars is a lot of money. If someone has to choose between buy-ing a prescription or milk and letting their child play a sport they love, I hope this helps them rest easier knowing that they don’t have to make that choice.”
Powder Puff football has another intangible benefit for
the women who participate as players.
“I used to be so hard on my child, and now, no mat-ter what, I’m like, ‘Good job son.’ You gain a huge respect for your kids,” said Gallo. “If I could be half the football player my son is, I would be really good. And, I think it brings our community togeth-er a lot more and you recog-nize people on the street and say, ‘Hey, you played in that Powder Puff game! We came to watch you.’”
All the players are football moms, mostly in their 40s.
“Our youngest is probably in her early 30s,” said Taylor. “Most of us are in our 40s. We aren’t spring chickens, but we’re tough and determined. That’s one thing that’s really cool when you see the first year mom and they totally know what’s going on in a football game. There’s something real-ly cool about a woman who really understands football. And it’s great because if little girls are inspired by Powder Puff. They can play for our youth organization.”
Ticket prices are $5 single and $10 for a family. For more information about youth football, visit www.marys-villeyouthfootball.com for Marysville and www.lyfaa.com for Lakewood.

“The thing I like about it is that it’s a great community and this game kind of brings together everyone — not just moms —
showing support for these kids .”Melissa Adams, volunteer
Eagle Mamas Powder Puff
“The moms practice for 2 to 3 months, 2-3 times per week,” said Williams. “It’s a good overall experi-ence for the moms because, of course, they are doing good and giving back to the community, but they also get to learn the game of football. You can almost watch the change from a mom who learned the game of football and how much more she enjoys watching it.”
Dads from both Arlington and Stanwood will don bright cheerleading outfits to support the players and perform a half-time show.
“We did ‘Thriller’ two years ago and ‘Sexy and
I Know It’ last year,” said Williams. “I’ve coached this year and been a cheer-leader the last three years. It’s real fun.”
Each year, the Powder Puff football games raise around $10,000 total.
“It all gets set aside for these scholarships,” said Williams. “At the begin-ning of this year, as soon as a kid comes in who can’t afford it, we give them a generic sponsorship form that they fill out for a schol-arship. You don’t have to get too personal about why you need it. A lot of people are struggling.”
In addition to entrance fees, the Powder Puff game will offer raffles, a full con-cession stand with hotdogs and hamburgers, and all
of the money raised from those will also go to cover registration fees for kids in need.
It’s not too late to sign up this year for AYFA. For more information visit www.ayfaeagles.org.
“The thing I like about it is that it’s a great commu-nity and this game kind of brings together everyone — not just moms — showing support for these kids. We learn a lot of what our boys are doing. It’s a great learn-ing experience, great for our relationship with our kids as well as other moms in the program,” said Adams. “I’m hoping we can get a lot of people out and involved.”
Haller Middle School is located at 600 E. First St. in Arlington.

ARLINGTON — Glasair Aviation in Arlington is teaming up with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association to provide a unique hands-on learning experience for high school students from Michigan and Minnesota from June 17-30, as the students build a pair of Sportsman aircraft in Glasair’s “Two Weeks to Taxi” program.
Chris Strachan, direc-tor of marketing and sales for Glasair, noted that the Arlington-based company had undertaken a similar venture a couple of years ago, albeit with far fewer students, which is but one reason that he deemed the
scope of this program to be unprecedented for Glasair.
“It’s a much bigger for-mat,” Strachan said. “I’ve always been for support-ing the youth — I’m part of the EAA Young Eagles program — and I see this as a way of giving them a different perspective on technology. They have to do 51 percent of the builds themselves, and doing that work allows them to feel empowered and take own-ership over what they’re building. We tell them that these planes need to be able to fly for the next 50 years, and the people who fly in them are laying their lives on these kids’ work, so if they don’t feel right about anything, they should
check it and do it again.”GAMA President Peter
Bunce noted that students from 27 schools in 22 states entered the “Build A Plane” aircraft design contest to be eligible for this opportu-nity, for which he thanked Glasair.
“The biggest surprise has been how great the guys on the Glasair factory floor have been with these kids,” Bunce said. “They’re not trained to be teachers, but they’ve got such a good way with the kids that they’re able to get them focused on the tasks at hand while they’re still having fun. These kids are working long days, but they’re motivated and ready to dive right in.”
Julia Garner of Saline
High School and Kyle Labombarbe of Lincoln High School both hail from Michigan and had never been to the Pacific Northwest before. They agreed that the lessons they’ve learned at Glasair
could not be replicated in a classroom.
“I’ve known since my freshman year that I want-ed to be a mechanical engi-neer, but this puts the prob-lem solving in a different perspective,” Garner said.
“I never expected I’d build a plane.”
“Everything has to be of the highest grade,” Labombarbe said. “Everything has to be locked in and checked twice.”

ARLINGTON — The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs’ “Hero 2 Hired” program rolls into the Arlington Fly-In with their Mobile Job Store opera-tion from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, July 12, and Saturday, July 13.
The “Hero 2 Hired” pro-gram, better known as H2H, is a comprehensive, multi-
faceted program which uti-lizes an electronic job and career web platform, mobile applications and Facebook integration, and virtual and physical career fairs to address the unique employ-ment challenges facing members of the Guard and Reserve.
The Mobile Job Store allows Guard and Reserve attendees to search for
available jobs through the H2H jobs website, specifi-cally designed to connect Guardsmen and Reservists with military-friendly civil-ian employers that have made a stated commitment to hire veterans. The Mobile Job Store also provides ser-vice members assistance with resume building and translating their military skills to civilian job quali-
fications. Sgt. Maj. Wayne Bowser Sr., the Senior Enlisted Advisor for Family and Employer Programs and Policy in the Pentagon’s Office of Reserve Affairs, will be on the ground to demonstrate H2H program tools and functionalities.
“We’re proud to pro-vide this empowering tool absolutely free for Guard and Reserve Service mem-
bers, spouses, veterans and employers,” said Ronald Young, Director of Family and Employer Programs and Policy. “The Mobile Job Store is just a small part of H2H’s focused effort to help service members and their spouses find employment through various activities, including employment assis-tance workshops, job fairs, employment summits and
many other local community programs.”
The Mobile Job Store is traveling across the coun-try to help members of the Guard and Reserve find employment through the H2H program. Prior to Arlington, the Mobile Job Store visited Joint Base Lewis McChord, and is set to cover Mississippi and Kansas in the following weeks.

!MARYSVILLE — The
Marysville Dog Owners Group invites people and their pooches to the sev-enth annual Marysville Poochapalooza outdoor dog event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Strawberry Fields Park, located at 6100 152nd St. NE in Marysville.
Snohomish County’s larg-est dog event has kept tails wagging with an annual fashion show for rescue dogs, a canine flying disc tournament, Flyball exhibi-tions, and pie-eating and pet contests that give dogs their moment to shine.
“This year, we’re add-ing our ‘Running of the Wieners’ wiener dog races to the schedule, and invite dachshund owners to bring out the champion in their dogs,” said Leslie Buell, Poochapalooza founder and coordinator. “See these ener-getic low-rider pups give it their all for trophies, prizes and glory.”
Poochapalooza is free, but a suggested donation of $5 per person is requested, which will cover goodie-
filled “wag bags” to the first 400 visitors. All proceeds support Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park, which is maintained year-round by M-DOG volun-teers.
This year’s Poochapalooza will again go high fashion with its Fashions and Rescues Runway Show, blending country charm with urban chic. The show will feature adoptable dogs modeling the latest eye-catching fash-ions live on the catwalk. The show is free. Special runway seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Plenty of competitions, activities and demonstra-tions enable dogs to try their paws at something new, including the Hyperflite Skyhoundz Canine Disc local championship at 11 a.m., Flyball, wacky pet con-tests, doggy pie-eating con-tests, Canine Good Citizen Testing, scent demonstra-tions, live music and dozens of pet-related vendors to let dog owners snoop for bar-gains, according to Buell.
The new “Running of the Wieners” wiener dog races
will showcase low-to-the-ground but high-on-energy pups as they show off their speed and cunning in races starting at 2 p.m. The number of qualifier races will depend on how many wiener dogs are registered. Day-of-event registration is $10 per dog to race, while online entries are $7 at http://poochapalooza.org before July 1. Semi-final winners will compete in the grand finale race held some-time between 2:20-3 p.m., depending on the number of entrants. Buell reminds dog owners and other attendees to be sure to yell for their favorite dachshund when the race official sounds the “go” whistle.
“But don’t be surprised if more than a few dogs take time out along the way to socialize with fans and onlookers,” Buell said.
Dogs with a hidden tal-ent can enter “Best in Show” contests like Best Kisser, Best Voice, Wackiest Pet Trick, and Pooch Pie-Eating Contests. Contest donation cost is $5 for one contest, or $10 for unlimited contests, excluding the Pooch Pie-
Eating Contest in big and small dog categories, which is $10. Register at the event. Visit the Poochapalooza website at http://poocha-palooza.org for the forms and schedule. The pie-eating contests and fashion show will be are emceed and spon-sored by Dining Dog Café
and Bakery of Edmonds and Owner Dorothy Moore.
Food and refreshments will be available for purchase from the Marysville Kiwanis Club in support of youth pro-grams, and from other ven-dors. Parking is free. Rare Birds and Rosemary will pro-vide live music from 4-5 p.m.
For more information about Poochapalooza, con-tact Leslie Buell by phone at 360-651-0633 or via email at [email protected], or visit the website at http://poochapalooza.org. “Like” Poochapalooza on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/poochapalooza.

NEWS BRIEFS
ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington is seeking pro-posals from artists who work in outdoor, durable, weather- and vandal-resistant materi-als for two entryway signs and permanent art to be dis-played in a retaining wall.
In January of 2011, the city’s first entry sign was installed at the Island Crossing entry into Arlington. The first sign features salmon by local art-ist Marguerite Goff, and was placed on a structure made of concrete that suggests the shape of the foothills around Arlington. The next sign was placed at the Smokey Point entryway into Arlington, and features a Native American raptor by Barry Herem, while
the third sign features a deer scene by Arlington artist Caroline Sumpter.
The city is now seeking art-ists to propose art elements for two more signs, one at the entryway north of the Lincoln Bridge at Twin Rivers Park on State Route 530, and one north of Haller Bridge on SR 9. The art elements should reflect Arlington’s natural or cultural identity. The budget for the art element is $3,000 per sign, including tax and installation. Proposals are due by June 30.
The city is also seeking art to be inset in a retaining wall bordering 67th Avenue and the Centennial Trail. There will be five insets for art mea-
suring 20 inches by 37 inches each, which will be placed 75 feet apart on the wall. The budget for the art is $1,000 per inset, including tax and installation, and is funded by the 67th Avenue Final Phase Project. Proposals are due by July 30.
Artists should submit resumes with contact infor-mation, up to five digital photographs of their work, and a verbal description of their proposals, with detailed drawings of their designs, to Sarah Lopez, c/o City of Arlington, 238 N. Olympic Ave., Arlington, WA 98223, or via email to [email protected]. For information, call Lopez at 360-403-3448.
City seeks art for entry signs, retaining wall project
ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington’s Fourth of July celebrations promise to fea-ture both familiar favorites and a few new wrinkles this year.
On Thursday, July 4, the morning kicks off with a $5-per-plate pancake break-fast at Haller Park, located at 1100 West Ave., from 7-11 a.m., courtesy of the Arlington Firefighter’s Association.
The action starts with the Pedal, Paddle Puff Triathlon, which begins in Haller Park before mapping out a course that consists of 5.8 miles of biking to River Meadows Park and six miles of canoe-ing and kayaking down the Stillaguamish River, fol-lowed by a three-mile run. Registration runs from 8-9 a.m. in time for a 10 a.m. start.
The Kiwanis Club of Arlington’s Scholarship Auction will also return to
Haller Park, with silent auc-tions at 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. followed by the live auc-tion at 10:30 a.m.
The “Old Fashioned Fourth” will run from noon to 4 p.m. in Legion Park. The Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce will be offering children’s games, relay races, food conces-sions, balloons, apple pie and more.
Children 12 years and younger are invited to pre-cede the Grand Parade with the traditional Kiddies Parade, whose registration take place at 3:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District, located at 210 Division St. The lineup and judging will happen prior to the parade itself at 4:30 p.m.
The Fourth of July Grand Parade on Olympic Avenue commences at 5 p.m., but registration runs from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Public Utility District, and those who have
not registered by 4:30 p.m. will not be able to enter. An entry fee of $100 will be charged for participation by any political entry or per-son running for office in the upcoming election, while a $25 fee will be charged for all commercial entries. All other entrants may register for free.
The action comes back to Haller Park for the Great Stilly Duck Dash at 7:30 p.m., whose rubber ducks will be launched into the Stillaguamish River from the Lincoln Bridge, weath-er permitting. For more information, log onto www.greatstillyduckdash.com.
