ARLINGTON — At this year’s Arlington Airport Appreciation Day, Austin Guthrie got a chance to try out a seat that he hopes to fill as an adult.
“I wish I could fly this,” said Guthrie, a 16-year-old Arlington resident, as he got comfortable in the pilot’s seat of the Arlington Airlift helicopter on May 7. “Search and rescue can be dangerous, but it’d be thrilling to help out others.”
Guthrie, an Arlington resident, has been interested in flying since he was a small child, and is looking at different

SMOKEY POINT — U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen wanted his senior constituents to know that he hears their concerns about health care.
“I care because you care,” Larsen told his audience at the Stillaguamish Senior Center on May 16. “These are issues you want to have addressed.”
Larsen fielded questions from an audience that was already receptive to his mes-sage of protecting health care for seniors, as he joined representatives of the AARP in discussing the potential impact of federal budget cuts on Medicare.

represented a higher turnout than last year’s event, which drew only 67 children.
This year marked 9-year-old Makenzie Pierce’s first
Airport Appreciation Day, even though 14-year-old sister Kayla and dad Casey had attended the year before. Casey Pierce, a Boeing worker who also hails from Arlington, expressed as much fondness for the event as his daughters.
“It’s neat to see all the air-planes out here,” Casey Pierce said. “I really like the World War II flyers.”
Although Makenzie Pierce was anxious for the day’s rain to let up, she still enjoyed sitting in the “cub car” and practicing how to work the
rudimentary simulated air-craft controls.
Bill Brooking came from Snohomish with daughters Amelia and Dominique to their first Arlington Airport Appreciation Day this year, and in spite of the rain that occasionally splashed over the sides of the “paint an air-plane” tarp, they were glad to have come.
“I want to fly when I get older,” said 8-year-old Dominique Brooking, as she painted her small wooden air-plane. “I like the big planes.”
“Not only did we attract more families this year, in spite of the unpleasant weath-er, but we also had more businesses and community groups supporting us for this event,” said Tolbert, who
credited Arlington Airport staff with making many of its activities possible, and thanked Arlington police officers and firefighters for volunteering their time and vehicles for the day as well. “This airport is so important to the community, both for its economy and for intro-ducing our kids to dreams of flying.”

wise touted the legislation as strengthening the Medicare Trust Fund and facilitating increased use of preventive health care, the latter of which he deemed a long-term mon-ey-saver by keeping people healthier longer, so that they won’t need as much medical care when they get older.
“According to the nonpar-tisan Congressional Budget Office, this plan will reduce the deficit by $230 billion in 10 years,” Larsen said. “And the first thing the new Republican majority did in the House of Representatives was vote to repeal health care reform.”
Larsen drew laughter as he promised not to badmouth fellow U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, but he criticized Ryan’s budget proposal for seeking to turn Medicare into a voucher system.
“You can call it Medicare, but it will be nothing like
Medicare, which is a guaran-teed benefit, that you pay into until the age of 65 and you will get paid back,” Larsen said. “Again, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says this will double seniors’ out-of-pocket health care payments. You’d have to save up $182,000 more just to be able to afford the same care as you would get under regular Medicare.”
Larsen cited Medicare as a key component of many seniors’ retirement security, and pledged that he would vote to raise the tax cap on Medicare, which was met with applause.
“The way it works now is, you’re taxed for Medicare on your salary for up to about $106,000,” Larsen said. “Any dollars you make over and above that $106,000, you don’t have to pay any Medicare tax on. I make more than that, and I’m willing to pay. I always look at those extra dollars and ask myself why I’m paying zero after that cap. I can afford it, and it would
benefit the country as a whole by making retirement more stable.”
Larsen also acknowledged audience complaints that their Cost of Living Adjustments have not increased in the past two years, even though their expenses have.
“The reason is because COLA is tied to the Consumer Price Index, which doesn’t accurately reflect your own living circumstances,” Larsen said. “The CPI is irrelevant to seniors.”
With a number of the reforms that Larsen supports he reported that he’s encoun-tered push-back from private insurance companies, whom he likened to oil and gas com-panies.
“Oil and gas companies don’t need $16 billion of your money to go drill,” Larsen said. “They’re perfectly capa-ble of funding that with the record profits they’re earning. I keep having to assure these companies that the world will not end if their subsidies dis-appear.”

ARLINGTON — Days after the Arlington Police and Fire Departments
responded to a report of an aircraft crash on the northwest side of Arlington Municipal Airport, the cause of the crash is still under investigation, accord-ing to Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield.
“The FAA came out to the scene again on May 15, and they have the plane in a hangar,” Banfield said.
Banfield explained that local police and fire depart-
ments received calls of the crash around 3:50 p.m. on May 14, and found a single-engine Sports Cruiser airplane on fire when they arrived on the scene. Fire crews quickly
extinguished the blaze. Although the pilot was pro-nounced dead at the scene, the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office
has not yet released the pilot’s identity, since their own investigation is also still ongoing.
“FAA investigations
can take days, months or even years to complete,” Banfield said. “They’re very thorough at what they do.”

IN OUR VIEW
While the news of who is, or who isn’t, going to be run-ning for President is getting
a lot of attention recently, we shouldn’t forget that the time to submit declara-tions of candidacy for a whole slate of local offices is also fast approaching.
The future direction that our cit-ies and local school districts take can be decided as a majority of the seats on the local city councils and school boards are up for election this year.
In Arlington, the mayor as well as four of the seven council seats are up for election.
The same is true in Marysville where the mayor and four council seats are also up for election. It should be noted that this will also be the first election in which nearly a third of Marysville’s residents, those added by the Central Marysville Annexation, will be eligible to run for mayor or city council in Marysville.
Majorities on local school boards are also up for election in 2011.In both the Arlington and Lakewood school districts, three of
the five board members are up for election. In the Marysville School District, four of the five board seats are up for election in 2011.
In addition, board seats for local fire and hospital districts are up for election as are a number of Snohomish County positions such as executive, assessor, auditor, clerk, sheriff and treasurer.
In past local elections, we’ve had many of the races go uncontested. I hope that doesn’t happen this year. That’s not because I disagree with or dislike the decisions made by the currently slate of elected officials and want to see them all replaced. Rather it’s because I prefer a robust election where multiple candidates for the same office debate their positions on a variety of important local issues which doesn’t happen when candidates run unopposed.
Those interested in running for local office can file a declaration of candidacy by mail starting this week, on May 20, through June 10. Those wanting to file in person or online can do so June 6-10 at 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, 1st Floor, Admin West Building, in Everett or at www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/Auditor/Divisions/Elections_Voting.
Running for elected office is not easy and, if you get elected, your work often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. But, at the same time, you can be making a difference in our communities and in the lives of those who call them home.
Are you willing to serve our communities?
Time was when a woman’s route to success was strewn with obstacles. It was a man’s
world. When I first joined the Marysville schools in 1958, there were two female administrators, Miss Larson who served as head teacher at Getchell Elementary and Liberty’s principal, Maxine Ebert. Aside from them, every top job in Marysville’s eight schools and administrative offices was held by a man.
And there was a time when women authors took on men’s names in order to get published. Most famous of those was Aurore Lucile Dupin who wrote under the pen name of George Sand. The publishers of early works by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell had no idea they had been penned by Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. We were taught that the author of Silas Marner was George Eliot though Eliot was actually Mary Ann Evans who took a masculine name so that her writings would draw a larger audience.
That was then, this is now. To see how the ladies are fairing with publishers I inventoried 10 shelves of fiction books at Marysville’s public library. Of 253 books, 172 were writ-ten by women. You can’t trust names entirely because parents have been known to name a boy Shirley or a girl Jim. It happens. Allowing for such statistical errors, my small study still suggests that women authors now account for 68 percent of current fiction.
Next, I moved to the library’s east wall to see if the majority of biogra-phers might also be of the fairer sex. Since I had other things to do with the day, I cut the sampling down to five shelves totalling 137 titles. The result showed that only 34 percent of biographers or autobiographers were women.
Armed with data, I did what researchers are expected to do, that is to draw conclusions. The facts:
Women dominate fiction, men domi-nate biography. Could this suggest that while women are better at mak-ing up stories, men excel at reporting facts? At that point in this writing, my wife and proofreader told me it was time to move on.
More than library books are tell-ing of a sea-change happening in the balance of power between the sexes. Tests done in 2004 showed that 12th grade boys lagged behind girls in reading by 14 points while the guys were down a whopping 24 points in writing. In math, girls did better in class but lagged on standardized tests. In sciences, boys bested girls by 33 percent in Biology and 59 points in Physics.
That was only seven years ago. Since then, something has happened to narrow the gaps. Girls are taking honors in higher numbers. More and more we see them as valedictorians and scholarship winners. It seems that females are casting off stultifying stereotyping that left them unreason-ably submissive.
Submissive wasn’t on the resumes of today’s new crop of female heads of state. After comparing candi-dates’ leadership potential, vot-ers around the globe have chosen to be led by women in Denmark, The Netherlands, Ireland, Finland, Germany, Liberia, India, Argentina, Iceland, Kyrgystan, Costa Rica, Slovakia, Brazil, Switzerland and a list of lesser known nations.
For the first time, women are out-numbering men in earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in America’s universities. The number of women applying to medical schools topped men applicants in 2003 and their
numbers have been growing since. Chances are good that you’ll be cared for by a female physician or nurse-practitioner when visiting a Marysville clinic.
Though wage-equality hasn’t been reached in industry, consider that women in business now make 78.2 percent of their male counterparts’ wages, up from a mere 64 percent in the year 2000. That gap is closing.
All this is happening against a backdrop of decrease in the percent of women in society. The ratio of males to females is now about 138 males to 143 females for a female per-centage of 50.9 percent, down from 51.3 percent only 21 years ago.
The presence of female achievers is especially apparent among the lead-ership cadre of Marysville’s schools. Whereas Miss Larson and miss Ebert were the only administrator in 1958, the district directory now lists women as principals of 15 of 22 schools.
The places where women leaders are most conspicuously absent are Fortune 500 boardrooms. The old boys web of control, still exercised in fusty atmospheres of Jack Daniels and cigars, appears hopelessly crippled by institutionalized in-breeding. They may be the only ones in America that don’t see Corporate Ethics as an oxymoron and never was this deliberate blindness more obvious than when Big Oil’s top poo-bahs (all men) testified before Congress that petro-giants couldn’t survive without lavish federal handouts.
Marysville’s lady principals are doing well. Female MDs seem to attend to our health as well as males. Women heads of state are perform-ing at least as well as their chest-thumping predecessors. So far they haven’t frightened me, which is more than I can say for certain unnamed alpha males.

HOLDEN VILLAGE — Former Arlington City Council member Dan Anderson has become the subject of a search and res-cue operation being con-ducted by personnel from Snohomish and Chelan counties.
Anderson, a 40-year-old Washington State Patrol trooper, was off-duty when his spot locator signaled an emergency at 6:15 p.m. on May 15. According to Chelan County Sheriff ’s Office spokesperson Lt. Jerry Moore, Anderson had originally accompa-nied a group of friends in biking, then snowshoeing, from an area of Granite Falls west of the Cascade Range, before he went off on his own, with plans to camp at Lyman Lakes before hiking to Holden Village.
Anderson was first sworn into office on the Arlington City Council in the two-year at-large position in January of 2000, and then ran for a four-year seat for the fol-lowing term. He stepped down from the Council in March of 2006 because he was moving outside of the Arlington city lim-its to be closer to his job on the Washington State Patrol. He then moved to the Whiskey Ridge area, which has since been annexed into the city of Marysville.
Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield described Anderson as an avid skier and outdoorsman who would have known the weather and environmen-tal conditions that he faced on his solo excursion.
“Dan was very passion-ate about public safety and hugely supportive of train-ing for police officers and
firefighters,” Banfield said. “He was unique in hav-ing served in the Marines,
in Special Forces and in the National Guard. He wouldn’t have set off that signal unless he needed it.”
According to Banfield, the low cloud ceiling had
prevented search and res-cue teams from sending up a helicopter as of 3:30 p.m. on May 16.

L y n n R e n e e McKen z ie, beloved wife, mother, and sister, passed away peace-fully at home sur rounded by her family on May 3, 2011.
Lynn was born to Vic-toria and Lavern Joslin, on July 7, 1949 in Seattle, Washington. From the moment she set foot on this earth, no grass ever grew under her feet. She graduated from Shorec-rest High School in 1967. While working three dif-ferent jobs, she went on to graduate from the Univer-sity of Washington with a degree in Speech and Hearing Pathology.
In 1978, she met M. Jon McKenzie. They were married on May 17, 1980. Their son, Mat-thew was born in 1982 and daughter, Michelle was born in 1984. After discovering her true pas-sion was teaching, Lynn obtained her credentials and opened her own Montessori school, work-ing out of her home. She then went on to teach kin-dergarten and third grade at Sunnyside Elementary School in Marysville, and received Teacher of the Year Awards on two occasions with other vari-ous special awards. Chil-dren and education were a major part of Lynn’s life. So was cooking. She was a food demo person and cooking instructor for PCC (Puget Consumers
Cooperative) Natural Mar-kets. Her family and faith com-pleted her life.
And what a life it was!
For 15 years, Lynn fought a valiant war against colon cancer, never once letting disease dictate her life. Nothing could stop her. She orga-nized, cooked for and hosted community kitch-ens, memorials, church teas, legendary Christmas parties and her daughter’s wedding.
Supported by her hus-band, family, oncologist, friends, and countless others whose lives she touched with her innate kindness and deeds, she showed us what life is really about. So let us all bid her sweet soul a well-deserved goodbye and eternal rest. (Like this girl will ever really rest!)
Lynn is survived by her husband and chil-dren, sister, Jo Joslin, brother, Jack Joslin (and family), mother-in-law, Louise McKenzie, sis-ters-in- law: Edi Dirkes, Bonnie Crockett, and Margie Impecoven (and their families), brothers-in law: David and Scott McKenzie (and family) , Uncle Leon Joslin, cous-ins Tim Joslin (and fam-ily), Mandy Joslin, Brad Swank, J. Swank (and family), Annette Thorn-hill (and family), and many, many . . . many friends.

Pleasing your spouse requires that you first learn what pleases your spouse, is it any different with God? Sometimes the things we do “for God” are really just things we do because we enjoy them, like the fellow who got his wife a new fishing pole for her birthday when what she really wanted was jewelry.

While soccer is continuing to struggle for atten-
tion equal to what fans pay to other professional sports, the sport is very popular on the recreational level. Both women and men, from teens to 60-year-olds, find that it provides ample opportunity to have fun and stay physi-cally fit. However, there may be some bumps and bruises along the way. In fact, soccer injuries sustained by com-munity-level players tend to occur more often than those among professional soccer players. According to some estimates, six injuries occur for every 100 games played by recreational soccer play-ers between ages 13 and 59. Another study shows that 1.3 injuries occur for every soccer practice. Remaining injury-free requires adher-ence to prevention mea-sures, including chiropractic care. Athletes, whether pro-fessional or in grade school, place a tremendous amount of stress on their bodies. Parents need to pay special attention to the potential in-juries that can occur at any time and proactively involve their chiropractor as a part of their child’s health care team. At ARLINGTON FAMILY CHIROPRAC-TIC, we’re currently accept-ing new patients and ask you to please call 360.435.3900 to schedule an appointment. Our mission is to improve the quality of your life by improving your health from the inside-out. We’re locat-ed at 20218 77th Ave., NE, Suite A. Doctor is available 24 hours.

MARYSVILLE — The Lakewood High School girls golf team cap-tured their first Cascade Conference Championship, May 9, when they won the league tournament by best-ing last year’s champions
King’s by one stroke and scoring enough points to jump from third place in the league standings to first place.
“This is the first year that our conference did a season-long points stand-ing,” said Lakewood High School girls golf head
coach Chris Walster. “So part of our league cham-pionship was determined throughout the season by how teams finished in their three-way matches.”
Walster said that his team did well early in the season where they were one of the top teams, but in
the last three matches they had fallen into third place heading into the league tournament.
“Our league tournament was structured so that the points received for team finish and individual play-er finishes were doubled,” said Walster. “We went into
our league tournament on Monday in third place and by virtue of winning the league tournament we were able to leapfrog over two other schools and end up in first place.”
Leading the team was senior Kayley Mizell who finished second in the
league tournament and second in the league stand-ings for the season. Mizell’s record-setting score of 90 is the best league cham-pionship score ever for a Lakewood golfer.
ARLINGTON — John Decker never set out to qualify for the Boston Marathon, but his years of commitment to distance running yielded an unexpected dividend when he entered the Tacoma City Marathon for the first time this year.
Although the 16-year-old Arlington native doubts he’ll be heading to Massachusetts any-time soon, he was still proud to clock in at three hours, 58 minutes and seven seconds in the 26-mile marathon on May 1, especially since the longest he’d ever run before then was 10
miles at a time. Anything under four hours qualifies a runner for the Boston Marathon.
“I’ve been distance running since the seventh grade,” Decker said. “Cross country pushed me to do more than three miles at a time, and this year, I went from six to 10 miles just to see if I could do it.”
Encouraged by one of his teachers to try something he’d never attempted before, Decker decided to train for the Tacoma City Marathon, since he already liked running.
“I kept pace for a three hour, 50 minute finish until mile 22,” Decker said. “I was really moti-
vated to finish, because it was a really big deal to me, but I didn’t really think about it as I was doing it.”
Decker credits his success to pacing himself and maintaining a consistent running schedule, with no days off.
“I was running at least six miles a day,” Decker said. “You just put your mind in a different place. Rather than focusing on the run, I thought about what was going on at school, or dif-ferent things that had happened during the day.”
Although the day of the mar-athon proved to be hot, espe-cially for the Pacific Northwest,
and Decker walked away with a little bit of pain, he still consid-ered the weather mostly favor-able, and was happy to have achieved his goal of finishing the course.
“He picked up the pace and started sprinting hard near the end,” said Decker’s aunt, Heather Herrera, who watched her neph-ew take home the first-place ribbon for the ages 15-19 cat-egory, and come in 111th out of 342 runners overall. “We were all really cheering him on. The average finishing time was four and a half hours. His coach once told him that he must have been born with wings on his feet.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington girls claimed the 4A WESCO Championship title and the boys finished in second place during the two-day competition, May 11 and 13, at Lake Stevens High School.
The girls totaled 141.5 points to fin-ish in first place, followed in second place by Lake Stevens with 130.5 points and Stanwood finished in third place with 126.33 points.
Senior Jasmine Redix finished in third place in the 100 meters with a time of 12.95. She also ran to a third-place finish in the 200 meters with a time of 27.10.
Arlington’s 4x100 relay team of Melissa Webb, Redix, McKenzie Corpron and Diamond Martin took first place with a time of 49.87. Arlington’s 4x200 relay team of Katie Anderson, Taylor Andersen, Martin and Corpron finished in third place with a time of 1:48.63.
Alexis Sarver took first place in the discus with a throw of 129-08. Sarver also finished in second place in the high
jump by clearing the bar at 4-10.00. Marissa Swegle placed third in the shot put at 37-00.50 and Kylie Swegle took third place in the long jump at 16-04.25.
For the boys, Jackson finished in first place with 160 points, followed by Arlington with 147 points and Lake Stevens finished in third with 141 points.
James Clark finished in a time of 4:27.14 for third place in the 1,600 meters. Jared Alskog finished first in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 40.18.
The Arlington 4x100 relay team of Skylor Elgarcio, Devante Gaillard, Connor Cummings and Lucas Revelle finished in third with a time of 44.56.
Dan Boyden claimed first place in the shot put with a throw of 50-00.00 and second place in the discus with 153-07. Blake McPherson placed second in the javelin with a throw of 193-04. Max Bryson finished first in the high jump by clearing 6-00.00. Cummings finished third in the long jump at 20-10.25.
AHS girls take 4A WESCO championship,
boys place secondsenior Kayley Mizell. She is by far our best golfer and holds a lot of our records,” said Walster, who pointed out that Kayley’s older sister Peyton had previously held many of those records. “She also qualified for state last year, our first ever to qualify as a junior. And if all goes well, she will be our first play-er to ever qualify for state twice.”
The other senior on the six-girl team is co-captain Jessica Spears. “Jessica has been our No. 2 player for most of the year and has played really well this season,” said Walster.
The team also has two juniors, Kaylee Diggs and Chelsea Blackwood, as well as two sophomores, Hannah Eneix and Nina Forsell.
“Hannah Eneix is a home-school student who came to us this year,” said Walster. “She’s in her first year of com-petitive golf and doing well so she’s been a great surprise for us.”
Walster said that Hannah’s older brother Keith was on Lakewood’s original golf team and in 1999 was the first Lakewood player to go to state where he finished in fourth.
“And Nina Forsell is proba-bly one of our most improved golfers,” said Walster. “She played on varsity as a fresh-man but has really come on this year and is just really steady.”
Walster credits the con-sistent play of all the team members for much of the season’s success.
“They’re all pretty equal, said Walster. “When we fin-ished the first nine holes at the league tournament I checked the scoreboard. We had Kayley Mizell out there with the leaders and had shot a 43, but then our next five players were all within two strokes of each other. We had two 50s, two 51s and a 52. In terms of a team, they we all steady.”
The team played in the Districts Tournament May 16-17 (after press deadlines).
“After Monday, May 16, the top 40 move on to play on Tuesday,” said Walster. “And
out of that 40, you have to be in the top 19 to make it to the State Tournament in Tacoma.”
Moving on will be a chal-lenge as Walster said, “Sadly, at our District Tournament we have Burlington-Edison and Bellingham who have alter-nated back and forth winning the state championship for the past six years. So if you can manage to get through our qualifying tournament, you’re looking pretty good at the State Tournament because you’ve faced the toughest teams in the state already.”
Walster said he expects Mizell to move on to state. “Kayley would be disappoint-ed if she didn’t make it back to the tournament, and I have no reason to believe she’ll falter. But it would be great to man-age to get two players to the tournament because in golf you have to have at least two players to be eligible for a trophy.”
“We went into our league tournament on Monday in third place and by virtue of winning the league
tournament we were able to leapfrog over two other schools and end up in first place.”
LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood and Marysville school districts are facing reductions in force for the upcoming school year, while the Arlington School District anticipates no need for teach-er layoffs at all in the 2011-12 school year.
The Lakewood School District Board of Directors approved a reduced education plan at their May 4 meeting, while the Marysville School District Board of Directors did the same at their May 9 meeting. Both districts have released statements noting that the task of budgeting for the impending school year has been made all the more difficult by uncertainty
about how much funding they can expect to receive from federal, state and local sources. Continued declines in student enrollment were likewise cited as reasons for further budgets cuts in both school districts.
The Lakewood School Board approved RIF notices for the following on May 4:n 2.0 full-time equivalent
supervisory categorical posi-tions involving state and federal funding for non-basic education programs, includ-ing Career and Technical Education, special education,
Title 1/LAP, and drug and alcohol prevention.n 0.77 FTE in secretarial
support.n 4.7 FTE of classified
assistance, which will include reductions in basic educa-tion, food services, custodial, grounds and maintenance.
Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock explained that non-employee related expenses such as professional develop-ment, supplies and materials, and travel will be reduced by approximately $110,000 next year, to aid in reducing next year’s budget by $1.45 mil-lion.
“As we finish out this year and prepare for next school year, Lakewood School District staff will rise to these
challenges to continue raising the level of student achieve-ment for all our students, to give more than they gave this year with fewer resources and to provide a safe haven for our students in which to learn and grow as individu-als,” Haddock said. “I believe the district has an untapped resource potential in our local social service organizations, PTAs, churches, businesses and senior citizens willing to assist in keeping quality education here in Lakewood schools the top priority.”
The Marysville School Board approved RIF notices for the following on May 9:n 8.1 FTE K-5 elementary
classroom teachers.n 2.0 FTE K-5 physical
education teachers.
n 1.0 FTE for a K-5 coun-selor.n 2.0 FTE in special edu-
cation.n 0.5 FTE for a speech and
language pathologist.n 1.0 FTE reductions each
for the coordinator of spe-cial education, the principal of 10th Street Middle School and the assistant principal of the Arts and Technology High School.
The Marysville School Board also approved RIF notices for secondary FTE of 2.4 in math, 2.0 in science, 5.3 in social studies, 5.7 in language arts, 0.6 in music, 3.0 in physical education, 3.0 in health, 1.0 in Spanish, 0.6 in German, 0.3 in technology, trades and industry and 3.7 for the middle school block.
“We have to try and keep this tight, because we simply don’t know what the legisla-ture is going to do to us,” said Terry Brandon, executive director of human resources for the Marysville School District. “We don’t even know yet how many of our RIF staff we can bring back. This is the most unpleasant work in human resources.”
Andrea Conley, spokes-person for the Arlington School District, released a statement explaining that their district intends to avoid certificated staff reduction in part through impending retirements and resigna-tions.
“Over the past two years, the district has predicted the student FTE just under the actual FTE, keeping the budget in line with revenue from the state so we can staff classrooms as mandat-ed by our contracts and the state,” Conley said. “As part of the district’s strategic plan, Arlington Public Schools have focused on good stew-ardship. Even in weak eco-nomic times, the district has moved forward with student achievement by developing an online Guaranteed Viable Curriculum for teachers, a new Online Academy for students to begin in 2011-12, added courses to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics pathways, and developed improvement plans for the district, depart-ment and schools.”

MARYSVILLE — Wil and Durla Whetham had only taken three vacations since they opened their mom-and-pop grocery store on May 1, 1972.
Last year, they finally found the time to attend their first high school class reunion, and they’d recently started talking about retirement.
Wil Whetham never got to retire. The 68-year-old and his 13-year-old grand-neph-ew lost their lives after the boat they were on capsized off Camano Island on May 7 of this year.
Those who knew Wil Whetham, who was shrimp fishing with grand-nephew Austin Anglin and son Brian when the 18-foot boat over-turned, described him as an experienced boater over-whelmed by a freak storm. Family, coworkers and cus-tomers considered him a
friend and expressed sorrow over his passing.
Bruce Hamphton shopped at the Whethams’ Boulevard Grocery on 61st Street NE for 14 years, and deemed himself “devastated” now that Wil is gone.
“He was always there at the store, way before dawn, this big guy built like a tank in this little apron,” Hamphton laughed. “He was always cleaning and putting in the new produce, and he always took good care of himself. He was just this great salt-of-the-earth fellow. He always had a sense of humor and a big smile on his face. A lot of his employees have been there for a long time, because he was just a good man.”
Shari Chapman started working for the Whethams a decade ago, and is now the assistant manager of the Boulevard Grocery. Like Hamphton, she found it dif-ficult to maintain her com-
posure as she remembered the man who had meant so much to her.
“I didn’t have much of any grocery experience com-ing into this job, and he whipped me right into shape,” Chapman smiled. “He taught me everything I know about this business. I lost my dad before I started working here, and Wil became like a second father to me. He always told me he was proud of me.”
Chapman noted that Whetham came in at 2:30 a.m. so that he could leave at 9 a.m. and have the rest of the day free for his out-door activities, from hunting and fishing to snowmobil-ing and quadding. She also recalled how, when one cus-tomer came in to get change to fill up the air in her tires, Whetham aired up the cus-tomer’s tires himself.
Durla Whetham contin-ues to work at the store, and has received condolences and
well-wishes from many of her customers. She chuckled as she admitted that, when she first met Wil in a tie and slacks, she thought she’d found herself a city boy. She soon learned how wrong she was.
“He was a real outdoors-man, so my whole life changed,” Durla Whetham said.
Both Wil and Durla’s lives changed again when Wil, who had previously worked at Albertsons for a dozen years, asked Durla to check out a small family-run gro-cery store whose owners were looking to retire.
“I couldn’t even find it at first,” Durla laughed. “It was a hole in the wall, not even half the size of our current space.”
The Whethams were so short of money that they had to call their parents for the down payment, which they agreed to after visiting the store themselves. While Wil
and Durla promised they would pay their folks back, Wil also reassured Durla that, even if the store didn’t suc-ceed, they were still young enough that they could recover from it.
In the nearly 40 years since then, the Boulevard Grocery has not only expanded its space, but also acquired refrigerator units and a liquor
license. Over the years, Durla believes it’s built up its cus-tomer base through word of mouth.
“Our motto has always been that we’re here to serve our customers, because with-out them, we wouldn’t even be here,” Durla Whetham said. “My husband took so much pride in what he did here.”
From left, Boulevard Grocery Assistant Manager Shari Chapman, co-owner Wil Whetham, employee Beverly Blair and co-owner Durla Whetham are all smiles in their store, less than a week before the May 7 boating accident that claimed Wil Whetham’s life.

EXPERT ADVICE
Q: Next year will be the first time my wife and I will be filing a tax return as a married couple. We have been living together for two years; we both have wages; and she has two young children that we will be claiming on our tax return. Should we file married filing joint or married filing separately?
A: Generally most married couples will receive a greater refund by filing married filing joint in the state of Washington because it is a community property state. Also, the child care credit and the earned income credit are both disallowed on a married fling separate return. And, any refund might also be delayed because a married filing separate return cannot be filed electronically and must be mailed. However, there are certain situations where married filing separately might be a better way to file. Please contact our office for more specific information.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
