ARLINGTON — For the third year in a row, one of the city of Arlington’s oft-overlooked parks received a touch-up courtesy of their nearby neigh-bors.

Close to 20 employees of the Windermere Real Estate office in Arlington benefitted from a bright, warm morning on Friday, June 15, 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.

Ellie Cyr of the Arlington Windermere office explained that Garden Treasures donated almost as many plants as there were volunteers that day, while the city of Arlington

itself dropped off what she estimated to be a small truckload of bark.

“We received a number of shrubs and perennials,” Cyr said. “We adopted this park last year, but this is the first year that we’ve planted new plants, rather than just tending to the existing plants through weeding and laying bark.”

The Windermere volunteers did plenty of weeding and bark-laying this year, in addition to “dead-heading” the rhododendron 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 marked her 21st year of volunteering

ARLINGTON — For the second year in a row, the graduating seniors of Arlington High School were heralded by dark skies and a cold downpour, as the AHS Class of 2012 donned complimentary rain pon-chos for their outdoor com-mencement ceremony in the John C. Larson Stadium on Tuesday, June 12.

Valedictorian Michelle Domanowski described her evolution from a small-town girl who was initially afraid, then impatient to venture into the broader world out-side of her familiar home-town. At the same time, she emphasized the respect she gained for Arlington along the way as she discovered that she’d grown roots of her

own in the community.“I was determined to con-

fine Arlington to a place that just happened to be on the road taking me to my dreams,” Domanowski said. “I just wanted to pass through here. But despite my firm resolutions, there were moments when I was caught off guard, and in those moments I acci-dentally made memories. I accidentally let myself get caught up with inside jokes during lunch and side conversations during class, and when enough of those memories had accumulated in my mind, I realized I had made friends, and not just with other students.”

Domanowski praised her peers for their bravery in moving forward with their

lives, which she credited to the same life experiences through which they grew their roots in the community that she admitted that she’s scared to leave behind.

Valedictorian Alvin Abes recalled an assortment of experiences and achieve-ments that he and his peers had shared through four years of high school, con-trasting the eagerness they felt as freshmen to move up and move out with the regret that they feel as seniors to be fulfilling those ambitions.

“High school has taken up four years of our teenage lives, roughly one-fourth of the entire time us teenag-ers have been alive,” Abes said. “This just seemed like an unattainable goal because it seemed like high school began only yesterday, and as cliche as that sounds, it truly did. Four years seems like a grain of sand compared to the time we have left ahead of us, but what we did with that little speck of sand was enormous.”

Valedictorian Kelsey Ghirardo quoted Henry Ward Beecher as she acknowledged her anxiety for the future while assert-ing her faith that it would all work out. She recalled how she and her peers had already surmounted daunting chal-lenges such as adjusting to the sheer size of the AHS campus as freshmen, and echoed Eleanor Roosevelt’s insistence that “You must do the thing you think you can-not do.”

“There are our defining moments,” Ghirardo said. “For me, that moment came the day I stood balancing hands-free on an exercise

ball in zero period. I sudden-ly knew what kind of person I wanted to be. We’ve all had those triumphs.”

Ghirardo’s final quote came from Elton Trueblood, who said, “Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation,” as she urged her peers to trust in what they’ve learned and what their futures hold.

AHS Principal Brian Beckley noted that the high school experiences that stu-dents have told him they remember strongest were those in which they came together on behalf of com-mon causes, with this year’s taping of their submission to the “Lip Dub” video com-petition serving as the most recent example.

“We are a community,” Beckley said. “We are strong together, but each of you carries your own strengths. Each of you has qualities that no one else has. Each of you has interests that no one else has. You have ideas that are

your own. Class of 2012, I ask you to take your talents, your creativity, your work ethic, your ideas, your inter-ests and your intelligence, and share these strengths with the world. Our world needs your involvement.”

Beckley listed a number of avenues through which the graduating seniors have already volunteered and con-tributed to their community, which he anticipated they would carry on in their adult careers.

“The energy and the heart that drives you to give your time is also evident in the college majors you are com-mitting yourselves to, since seven of you will study pre-med, 12 will go into engi-neering, 10 into education, three in government, one in pre-law, five in broadcasting, and 35 in medical careers,” Beckley said. “When you give of yourself to others, the world benefits, our com-munity benefits and you benefit.”

for Windermere community service days on June 15.

While Cyr agreed with Arlington Windermere owner Gene Bryson that Centennial Park’s proximity to their office makes it a con-venient location for them to perform their annual day of service labors, she also touted the park as a hidden treasure of Arlington.

“A lot of people don’t real-ize that this is an impor-tant park, especially dur-ing holidays,” Cyr said. “All the parades line up here. And yet, it’s not all that well-known, even though it’s right in the middle of town.”

“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. To that end, we’d have to talk with the city to clear it through them, but I wouldn’t mind installing a playground structure here. It might not seem like there’s room enough for that, but I don’t think most people who drive past this park realize how big it really is.”

Every year since 1984, Windermere offices have dedicated a day of service to joining together so they can complete neighborhood improvement projects.

“Creating vibrant commu-nities 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.

The Arl ington Windermere office’s offi-cial adoption of Centennial Park last year 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 20 years.

MARYSVILLE — Robert Rasmussen Sr. was the first bridge tender of the Ebey Slough Bridge, whose con-struction was completed in 1927, back when roads were built to accommodate Ford Model-T’s.

Robert’s direct descen-dants returned to the bridge 85 years later on Thursday, Jan. 14, to join members of the public in taking one last walk on the old bridge before its dismantling begins, as the new Ebey Slough Bridge continues to be built along-side it.

The bridge tender’s son, 87-year-old Robert Rasmussen Jr., fell prey to a quavery, emotion-choked voice as he recalled meet-ing his father at the Ebey Slough Bridge in 1946, after the younger Rasmussen had come back from fighting in World War II.

“You had to cross this water in a rowboat before this bridge,” Robert Rasmussen Jr. said. “Dad got himself a good job here with the state. We had indoor plumbing and everything. He worked a lot of swing shifts here, because he would tend to animals on farms, so I didn’t see him much during the days. He was always out doing something.”

The grandsons of Robert Rasmussen Sr. are all in their 60s now, and as they joined Robert Rasmussen Jr. in checking out the aged structure, they recalled the time they’d spent with their grandfather as he faithfully executed his duties.

“I remember he had all

these big tools here,” said Leonard Stanton, a 66-year-old grandson of Robert Rasmussen Sr., who current-ly lives in Smokey Point. “He had this one wrench that just seemed huge to me at 7 or 8 years old, and these five-gallon buckets of grease for the gears.”

“I remember it being stinky,” laughed Dennis Rasmussen, a 63-year-old grandson of Robert Rasmussen Sr. and a cous-in of Stanton, who lives in Bellingham. “My classmates all used to jump off this bridge to dive into the water below, but I couldn’t because my dad worked here and all the other bridge tenders knew me.”

While Robert Rasmussen Sr. once worked in the bridge tender house, Harry Sidler had his own reasons for feel-ing a sense of ownership over the old bridge.

“It took our five-man crew, including my brother Jake, about a month to repaint the underside of that bridge more than 40 years ago,” Sidler said. “The inspector checked out work with a dental mirror. One of my masterpieces is going down,” he laughed.

During the ceremony marking the old Ebey Slough Bridge’s end of ser-vice, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring noted how rare it is for the Washington State Department of Transportation to carry out official decommissioning for the structures that it puts out of service.

“We’ve come here today to say goodbye to an old friend,” Nehring said on Jan. 14. “As you walk out there, take some time to ponder the history beneath your feet.”

Nehring noted that Marysville’s population has gone from less than 1,400 in 1927 to enough that 17,000 cars and trucks a day com-mute across State Route 529 between Marysville and Everett. WSDOT Northwest Region Administrator Lorena Eng added that the new $39 million Ebey Slough Bridge that’s replac-ing the old one will not only be wider and offer

more vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian lanes, but it’s also being built to current seis-mic safety standards. She credited the employees and elected officials of the cities

of Marysville and Everett with fighting to keep this project on the books for the past 20 years.

The dismantling of the old Ebey Slough Bridge began

on Monday, June 18, and is expected to continue into early 2013, at which point the new bridge’s remaining lanes should finally open to traffic.

4 The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe June 20, 2012THE PUBLIC FORUM

The tribes’ fight to preserve and protect the salmon and our treaty fishing rights has mir-

rored the civil rights struggle in the United States. That’s because treaty rights are civil rights, just like your right to vote, and they are protected under the U.S. Constitution.

When we were fighting for our trea-ty rights in the 1960s, we marched with Dr. Martin Luther King. Returning home, we continued the struggle by protesting, getting arrested, getting out of jail and starting over again.

On Sept. 9, 1970, we had a fish camp under the Puyallup River Bridge near Tacoma. The state of Washington came down on us that day, just like they had done many times before, to stop us from exercising our treaty right to fish.

They gassed us Indians and threw us all in jail.

But someone else got gassed that day, too. His name was Stan Pitkin, the U.S. Attorney for western Washington. He was part of the crowd that gathered that day to watch the event unfold. Troubled by what he witnessed, Pitkin quickly took the first steps to file the U.S. v. Washington court case that would lead to the 1974 Boldt decision.

With the support of the Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s office, we were successful in defending our treaty-reserved fishing rights. Under the Boldt decision we were affirmed as co-managers of the salmon resource with the state of Washington. We are responsible for managing half of the salmon returning to western Washington every year.

But since the Boldt decision we have seen a steady decline of the salm-on resource. After a long, difficult battle, we are seeing our hard-won treaty rights slip away because salmon and their habitat are being lost faster than they can be restored and the state refuses to enforce its own laws to protect the resource.

We may once again need the help of

the Justice Department to protect our treaty rights.

Last summer we launched our Treaty Rights at Risk initiative to call on the federal government to take charge of salmon recovery in western Washington. We took this strong step because we are losing the fight for the salmon. The federal government has both the obligation and authority to recover salmon and protect our treaty rights. We want the government to align its agencies and programs to lead a more coordinated effort and get us back on the path to recovery.

We are encouraged by the early response from the federal govern-ment. We all agree about the need to strengthen the tribal and federal rela-tionship to address obstacles to salm-on recovery. We’ve already developed recovery plans and identified habitat barriers in most watersheds. Now we need a commitment from the federal government to coordinate the effort to tackle the most pressing obstacles in each watershed.

In the end, that effort can only be as effective as the decisions we make and the actions we take. We sure don’t need more talk. We don’t need more process. We need action.

That’s why I think the Department of Justice needs to take a hard look at the damage being done to salmon habitat and the threat to our treaty rights. That may seem like strong medicine, but for us Indian people, nothing less than the heart of our culture is at stake.

Billy Frank Jr. is the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Treaty rights are civil rights

We were short on fruit and veggies so I went shop-ping at one of my favorite

windows on the world, WINCO. It’s a place where no race or ethnic group is a majority so we shoppers were a happy mix of minorities.

With strong accents, foreign tongues, some traditional attire and every skin tone from pinkish-white to dark chocolate, it’s like a mini-UN. Somalis, Iraqis and Ghanaians share space with immigrants from most Latin American nations. Each spoke two or more languages when they got here and are now trying to add English.

Being third-generation American I assume I’m a native. And being steeped in this society from birth I haven’t the slightest notion of the challenges my grandparents faced when debarking at Ellis Island. Or what it took to gain a foothold in their economy. So while pushing a cart down aisles crowded with freshly arrived immigrants I can’t help but wonder how it must feel to be newly arrived on our scene.

We call them immigrants, which says little more than that they came here to live from some other place. There’s much more to their stories. Each is an adventurer when com-pared with neighbors they left back home. They’re the ones with enough guts to abandon everything held dear in pursuit of opportunity.

Imagine their first days here. They know little of the language, don’t understand the law, folk-ways or economy. The best they can do is call on earlier immigrants for tips on how to get along. Maintaining these links is why Koreans congregated in West Seattle, Norwegians in Ballard and Asians in south Rainier Valley.

The word, immigrant, isn’t weighty enough to express a new-comer’s situation. Exile, however, sounds snappier and is far richer in meaning. Its definitions cover more space in dictionaries than do entries for immigrant and I have a strong feeling for that difference because I was once an exile.

My dictionary says, Exile: absence from one’s own country, whether forced or self-imposed; a citizen from one country who chooses or is forced to live in another; to separate from home and country.

One can even be exiled at home, as when so many Native Americans were uprooted from home-areas to be transplanted onto reservations. Some religious groups exile mem-bers through shunning.

As to my exile, my family lived on the grounds of a college in Nigeria. The school’s students were Nigerians, evenly split between Christians and Muslims. We were one white American family adjusting to stay afloat in a sea of blacks.

We were voluntary exiles like most of my fellow shoppers at WINCO. Like them, I was challenged to learn something of the local lan-guage. Even more so than blacks in America, I knew the impossibility of blending my pale face in to a black society that would never be my own. Since I wasn’t born into it, I had to struggle to understand what makes West African minds tick.

Some immigrants see the U.S. as a land of opportunity. Others flee from hunger or oppression. Shiites fleeing from Sunnis, Sunnis fleeing from Shiites. Reasons for coming here are as many as the immigrants. Once here, Americanization takes place rapidly. I talked with three Somalis at Trinity College’s recent confer-ence on Islam about challenges of adjusting to life here. One said his big problem was getting his coach to give him enough minutes on the soccer field. The second’s challenge was how to finance a new car. The third told of difficulty getting his son admitted to a university.

Some of us believe that immi-

grants displace American workers while depressing wage rates. They cite reports of immigrant mothers collecting support for babies left south of the border and there is some truth to that. Such issues caused the Economic Policy Institute to con-duct a 2010 study to analyze what-ever effect immigrant labor might have on home-grown workers and the economy. The results were sur-prising.

Immigrant labor was found to have a small positive effect. In fact, the presence of immigrant labor bumped up wages of native born workers by 0.4 percent. Oddly, while college-degreed workers benefited by 0.4 percent, workers with some college got boosted 0.7 percent and wages of those with high school or less rose only 0.3 percent. While the numbers vary, other studies con-firm that immigrant labor serves to boost both employment and wages for native born Americans. Some other findings:

A greater proportion of immi-grants start businesses than native born citizens. (Council of Economic Advisors)

Taxes drawn from immigrant workers yield a positive effect on public budgets. (CEA)

Social Security withholdings from immigrant workers account for a small offset against the immi-nent problem of baby-boomers breaking the system. (CEA)

No significant correlation has been found linking jobs lost to native-born workers and immigra-tion. (Pew Center research)

Immigrant children value edu-cation more highly than native-born children. (Harvard University study)

But facts don’t seem to matter because, like seniors hazing fresh-men, entrenched societies contin-ue the tradition of blaming and harassing newcomers. Maybe that’s what makes them so strong.

ARLINGTON — John Henken, a longstanding member of the Rotary Club of Arlington, will be remembered by those who knew him at two separate events on Saturday, June 23.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, located at 415 S. 18th St. in Mount Vernon, has scheduled a memorial service for Henken at 10 a.m. that day, while fellow Arlington Rotarian Dave Duskin will speak about Henken’s battle with cancer at the Arlington Relay For Life, which kicks off that afternoon at 1 p.m.

Duskin received permis-sion from Henken’s widow, Mylene, to add her husband as a posthumous member of the Arlington Rotary’s Relay team, to honor Henken’s membership in the Arlington Rotary since 1981, which included a stint as its president from 1988-89.

“He was part of the group that went up to Canada to study how a Rotary Club’s

‘duck derby’ was done,” Duskin said. “He and Mike Jarboe chaired our first race.”

The British Columbia Rotary’s rubbery duck derby was adopted by the Arlington Rotary to meet the $10,000 it had pledged toward at the construction of an Arlington community youth center for the Boys & Girls Club in 1987.

“John was very active in the Chamber of Commerce,” Duskin said. “He and Pat Pittson were tireless mem-bers of the Good Roads Committee, and attended statewide meetings to make sure that monies were spent on our local highways, such as state routes 530 and 9.”

Duskin went on to recall that Henken remained one of the Arlington Rotary’s top sellers of Duck Dash tickets, and in 2001 was the single top seller of Duck Dash tickets. According to Duskin, Henken also had a nearly perfect attendance record at Arlington Rotary meetings, and as such was greatly missed when his health eventually forced

him to miss meetings.“We could always count

on a story or joke from John at our meetings,” Duskin said. “His sense of humor was great, but often there were groans as well as laughter at his jokes and stories.”

The Arlington Rotary Board moved unanimously to make Henken an hon-orary member, and Duskin described it as a “no-brain-er” to make Henken an honorary member of the Order of the Duck as well, which is usually reserved for those who have sported the costume.

“He always sported that Disneyland duck hat while he was out selling tickets,” Duskin said. “I know that it was John’s dream to see his plans for an Island Crossing commercial center come to fruition before his death. It’s too bad that the economy turned bad about the time his efforts to get the area annexed to Arlington and rezoned got accomplished, or else I think he would have seen his dream come true.”

Henken memorial set for June 23

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recently signed and presented to DJ Preston Dwoskin a proclamation declaring Saturday, June 23, as Marysville Family YMCA 360 Break Dance Competition Day.

This proclamation hon-ors the 360 Break Dance Competition, a popular regional event started at the Marysville Family YMCA, which will take place this year at Totem Middle School on June 23.

The annual event is staged by the Marysville YMCA’s Minority Achievers Program, and is purported to be the second-largest break-dancing event in Washington state, draw-ing upwards of 800 com-petitors, DJs, volunteers and spectators from throughout Snohomish County and Washington state, and even, in some cases, from across the country. Last year’s event alone had dancers from Oregon, California, New York, Alaska and even Korea.

The competition, which awards monetary prizes to

its winners, was created to help keep young people off the streets and out of crime, and to provide them with a safe, welcoming place to express themselves creatively through dance.

At the June 11 Marysville City Council meeting, Nehring lauded the event for providing a real-life venue for bringing diverse groups together to work toward achieving a com-mon goal. He went on to note the leadership devel-opment opportunity,

team-building and man-agement skills it provides to the young people who plan, promote and run the event.

Doors open for 360’s 10th anniversary at 5 p.m. on June 23 at Totem Middle School, located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville, while the prelims are set to start at 6 p.m.

Admission is $10 and crew-versus-crew battles are limited to 10 dancers each. The grand prize this year is $3,600.

ARLINGTON — The final game of the Stilly Valley Juniors’ season ended com-pletely undefeated for the Stilly Valley Black Hawks, who now stand with a 22-0 record and the District 1 Championship trophy.

The Black Hawks are the winners of both the league championship on June 4 and the Tournament of Champions, which was played over Memorial Day weekend.

“It was really special,” said John Ecker, head coach, of the team’s morale following the championship. “It’s just a rare accomplishment to win a championship and be undefeated.”

The Stilly Valley Black Hawks are on the road for the entire season, play-ing from Mill Creek to Stanwood. They are top

of the league with Lake Stevens and Marysville teams falling behind.

“This is a group of 13- and 14-year-old young men that suited up for 21 games plus three practice games and played hard every inning. They close the season with a very good team that is playing well. I am going to miss these kids when it is over,” said Ecker.

Ecker has coached base-ball in Arlington for a long time, and said that the last undefeated season he has seen was in 1987. The Black Hawks are the first Stilly Valley team to be undefeated in 25 years. “I have coached many good teams since then but could never complete the year undefeated until this year,” said Ecker.

“It’s a great group of base-ball players and parents. They run out every ground ball hard, they never take a play off, they support each other. They really get what it means to be a team and keep the ‘I’ or ‘me’ out of it,” said Ecker.

“This is a team that has supported each other all year,” he said. “They are going to school and they come to practice every day and they play. If someone is having a bad day they sup-port him. They are a great team.”

Tammy Chrisman is the mother of Black Hawk player Cody Chrisman and is proud of how her son and his team have performed

this year.“They’ve done a great job,

they are completely unde-feated all year,” said Tammy Chrisman.

Cody Chrisman, who started playing first base this year, has been playing base-ball for a very long time. “As far back as I can remember,” said Chrisman. “Since I was about 4 years old.” Before this season, Chrisman had been mainly playing center field. “I just started playing first base and from what I hear, I am doing pretty good,” he said.

The first practice for the

Black Hawks was all about figuring out where there were weaknesses and work-ing on them, according to Chrisman. “We would just help each other get better and then everyone got used to their positions,” he said.

When the team won the district championship with an undefeated record, emo-tions ran high.

“I can’t even describe it,” said Chrisman. “It was a really great feeling.”

Chrisman credits a lot of the team’s success to the ability of the coaches. “The coaches are the best I’ve

ever had. I’ve always known Coach John was going to work kids really hard, but he is one of the best coach-es I have ever had.”

For Ecker, the assis-tant coaches who donated time and energy to the team deserve recognition. “The other coaches are really important people in this equation,” said Ecker, of assistant coaches Matt Ecker, Doug Kindred and Ken Bayer. “These three gentlemen get as much credit for the success of the team as me. They are vital.” Ecker noted that Matt

Ecker, his son, and Alec Ecker, his grandson and a player on the team, make up three generations as a part of the Black Hawks. “Matt was a catcher on the team that was undefeated 25 years ago. It’s really spe-cial,” said Ecker.

Part of the Black Hawks’ success lies in their team spirit and attitude.

“It’s not good when you’re having a down day,” said Chrisman. “You can’t live in the past. You have to keep going forward and you just have to keep try-ing.”

Undefeated Black Hawks take championship


MARYSVILLE — The Strawberry Festival Grand Parade on Saturday, June 16, featured hun-dreds of local people supporting their own causes including dozens of Powder Puff football players who strolled through the parade selling tickets for their upcoming Powder Puff football match-up on July 20.

The “Cougar Mamas” are a team made up of mothers of Lakewood football players who are set to face the “Tomamamas” — a team of Marysville football moms. Despite their upcoming rivalry,

the two teams banded together on Saturday, to help raise funds for both the Lakewood Youth Football Athletic Association and the Marysville Youth Football League.

“This will be our third year playing the Marysville team,” said Dawn Taylor, organizer for the Cougar Mamas. “One of the things we do to raise money is charge $5 for a single entry and $10 for family.”

The game is set for July 20 at 7 p.m. on the Marysville-Pilchuck High School football field. Those who want to support the Lakewood team pay on the Lakewood side of the field and those who want

to support Marysville pay on the opposite side. “Each side gets to keep the money raised,” said Taylor.

Concessions are being sold dur-ing the game and money raised from them also goes to support the football associations, to be divided evenly between Lakewood and Marysville. The teams are also finding creative ways to support youth football as well as local busi-nesses.

“We’ll do a program for the night of the game and people who would like to place an ad can buy one to go in the program,” said Taylor. “Everyone who attends will get a free program, so the

businesses will get exposure that way.”

In addition to raising money through ticket sales and advertis-ing, the Powder Puff teams are planning other audience-involved fundraisers for the day of the event. “We are also going to have some fun activities,” said Taylor. “We’ll do a 50/50 raffle and an eating contest.”

Last year, the Lakewood team raised more than $5,000 and the Marysville team raised more than $4,000 that went straight to Lakewood and Marysville foot-ball.

Despite the clear goal of raising money for youth athletics, the

Powder Puff match-up is still a fiercely competitive game.

“Women are out there everyday at practice,” said Taylor. “We take winning the game very seriously.”

The game is also a way of bring-ing people together over friendly competition.

“It’s such a great night,” said Taylor. “It’s really cool when whole communities come together. People are surprised by how much fun it is.”

Pre-sale tickets for the game are available by contacting any team coach or player. The Arlington Eagles and Stanwood Spartans are set to face each other on July 28 at Haller Middle School.

ARLINGTON — The Byrnes Performing Arts Center was packed with family and friends support-ing the Class of 2012 gradu-ates of Weston High School on June 13.

Twenty-four students walked to the stage to receive their academic awards, diplomas and audi-ence applause. Weston High School Principal Amie Verellen-Grubbs introduced the graduates and those who achieved particular scholarly success.

“These are the students who are receiving a certifi-cate of academic achieve-ment,” she said, and intro-duced 13 high-achieving students, including Chantel Stickel, the class valedicto-rian.

“We were all different when we started high school,” said Stickel. “I believe that every one of us had a sup-port team.” Stickel spoke of how Weston High School helped her graduate one year early by letting her take extra classes and participate in Sno-Isle. She now plans to attend Skagit Valley College to begin coursework for becoming a surgical nurse.

“I couldn’t have done it without Weston teachers,” she said. “They are very understanding. They aren’t teachers anymore, they are like friends. We are blessed with the teachers we have.”

Two of those teachers — Sally Bainter and Renee McArt — addressed each graduating senior by name and spoke a few words about the student’s best qualities and how they expect that each will find success in the future.

Many of the graduates were excited to see what that future holds. “I am definite-ly ready to graduate,” said Cody Smith, who said he will miss hanging out with his friends. “A lot of the teachers helped me through school,” said Smith. Smith plans to head now to the Universal Technical Institute or to culi-nary school where he’d like to become a head chef.

Zach Smoots said he is ready to be done with high school. “I feel pretty good. I just want it to be over with,” said Smoots. Like Smith, Smoots said he will miss see-ing his classmates everyday. He plans to keep working in the summer and then join the Army or go to college, or both.

Charles Steele, another Weston graduate, was also nervous and excited for

graduation. “I’m not really sure what I’ll do next,” said Steele. “I’ll miss seeing my friends everyday.”

“I just want to keep con-tact with friends, get a paid job and have a good life,” said Steele. Steele has already been working for Hedgehog Cages for two years, and is proud to have a job he can look forward to after high school.

Graduating senior Rio Solis was nervous for the commencement ceremony, but excited to be graduating. Solis plans to take a year off from school before register-ing for business courses at Everett Community College with the hope of one day starting her own business. “I’ll mainly miss the teach-ers,” said Solis, whose favor-ite classes were English and History with McArt. “You build a family bond with the teachers here. I’ll really miss them.”

ARLINGTON — For sev-eral local veterans, Flag Day symbolizes more than the adoption of the American flag. For them, the holiday offers the opportunity for American citizens to show respect and honor to the symbol of a nation that many have given their lives to defend.

“It’s what our United States heritage is all about,” said Robert Dyson, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561. “The flag with the red, white and blue colors represents our colo-nies, our states and what we fight for as veterans. When I look at the American flag, I see the fallen.”

Flag Day is a national holiday to commemorate

the adoption of the flag, but some feel that it is a holiday often overlooked between Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day vacations and festivities.

“A lot of people don’t realize what Flag Day is about,” said Keith Reyes, of Arlington’s VFW Post 1561. “It’s one of those small holi-days that goes by and maybe only veterans really know about it.”

On this year’s Flag Day, June 14, Reyes, Dyson and other veterans hosted a flag decommissioning cer-emony at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum in Arlington, for a small audi-ence, in honor of the holi-day. Reyes voiced an open-ing prayer and the audience pledged their allegiance to

the flag. The prayer was fol-lowed by an inspection of four unusable flags, which were then burned in a cer-emonial crematorium.

“Today is a decommis-sioning ceremony where they burn flags and then bury the ashes,” said Pioneer Organization President Myrtle Rausch. “Usually they only do the four flags and all others go to the crematorium. This ceremony is to get people aware of how they are sup-posed to dispose of a flag. If they are unsure, they can bring flags here or to any VFW or American Legion location.”

While the flags burned, members of the VFW held a rifle salute followed by a bugler playing “Taps.”

“I do this because it’s important to me,” said Bill Morse, of the VFW. “To me, the most important thing is our memorials for our fallen comrades.”

Veteran Ron Carlson agreed. “This shows respect for what the flag is. To honor our flag in ceremo-nies like this gives it the respect that’s due.”

Verna Mines was a mem-ber of the audience dur-ing the Flag Day ceremony, and said she feels that most people do not know how to properly retire the flag. “I am here today because I am very patriotic,” she said. “It would be nice for people to learn how it can be done properly. For the amount of vets that showed up, I thought they did very well.”

For Dyson, the day was about paying respect.

“I myself like to send out to our future how impor-tant the American flag really is,” he said. “It’s not a rag flying up there. It’s not a towel. It’s shed blood.”

For more information on retiring a flag, contact your local VFW chapter.

How to Sell Your HouseWithout An Agent

- If you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook. Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.

Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself. After all, without the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers. This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dreams of selling their homes themselves.But don't give up until

you've read a new report entitled "Sell Your Own Home" which has been prepared especially for homesellers like you. You'll find that selling your home by yourself is entirely possible once you understand the process.

Inside this report, you'll find 10 inside tips to selling your home by yourself which will help you sell for the best price in the shortest amount of time. You'll find out what real estate agents don't want you to know.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-1-800-270-4033 and enter 1017. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Get your free special report NOW to learn how you really can sell your home yourself.

Not to brag, but I'm an impressive cat tree climber and a professional cat napper.

Hi! I'm a swell guy looking for someone who will let me lick their face! I love to give kisses. I like to chew on treats and chew toys so I'll need plenty of those.
