ARLINGTON — Attendees of the 39th Legislative District Democrats’ precinct caucuses on Sunday, April 15, laughingly conceded that their pro-ceedings were perhaps not as dramatic as the March 3 Republican caucuses for Legislative Districts 38, 39 and 44 in Marysville, but the Democrats from Arlington, Marysville, Darrington, Granite Falls and other surrounding areas who turned out that Sunday afternoon nonetheless touted the civic value in their event.

Although the Democratic Party’s nominee is incumbent President Barack Obama, as opposed to the host of Republican challengers that the ear-lier caucus had to choose between,

more than a dozen area Democrats met at Arlington High School to sub-mit resolutions that they wish to see carried on into the county, state and national Democratic caucuses.

Marysville’s Rick and Vickie Bligh, like many of the day’s caucus-goers, first became active in local caucuses four years ago, due to their enthusiasm for Obama as a candidate, and while they remain steadfast in their support of him as president, the Blighs also came armed with a resolution in favor of amending the U.S. Constitution to reserve Constitutional rights for people, not corporations.

“Vermont passed a similar resolu-tion a few days ago,” Rick Bligh said. “Given that corporations have sub-

ARLINGTON — Close to three dozen volunteers gathered at Legion Park on Saturday, April 14, to help install a rain gar-den by the new restroom and visitor infor-mation facility on Centennial Trail.

City of Arlington Natural Resources Manager Bill Blake explained that the city was commemorating Arbor Day not only through the installation of this rain garden, which should allow potentially problem-atic runoff from the new building’s roof and walkways to soak into the ground and be filtered by the soil and plants, but also through the workshop on rain gardens that immediately preceded the installation, dur-ing which attendees learned how to install rain gardens in their own yards.

Linden Mead, of the state Department of Natural Resources, took advantage of this event to present city of Arlington repre-

sentatives with the city’s 10th annual Tree City USA designation from the Arbor Day Foundation.

“Arlington is a real star child in this pro-gram,” said Mead, who noted that, in order to qualify for the Tree City USA title, the city had to establish a tree care ordinance, a tree board or department, a community forestry program with annual expenditures of at least $2 per capita, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. “We go everywhere from upland to tideland to focus on forests, but the forestry of the urban community is no less important, because these are the trees that we live with every day, in our parks and on our streets.”

Not only were Blake and city of Arlington Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez present to receive the award, but so was City Council member Marilyn Oertle, whom Blake cred-

ited with providing sig-nificant support for their efforts.

The rain garden instal-lation itself was made possible not only by the city of Arlington and the Snohomish Conservation District, but also by the Department of Ecology, with generous donations from the Arlington Garden Club, Western Nursery Sales, Garden Treasures Nursery and Banksavers. Stacy Aleksich of the Snohomish Conservation District supervised the planting of more than 70 trees and shrubs by two Snohomish County Master Gardeners and a crew made up heav-ily of many members of the same local family.

“This is fun chaos,” Master Gardener Sharon Nichols said during the warm, sunny day, as volun-teers from ages 4-70 found space-saving ways to work the same small plot of land at the same time. “The big-gest value of a project like this is that it shows the com-munity that storm water can be collected through a low-maintenance and very beautiful garden. It’s gor-geous and it helps the envi-ronment.”

Belle Lasalata, 13, was but one of a number of mem-bers of the Lasalata clan to don gloves, grab gardening tools and pitch in that day, which Belle saw as provid-ing a service to their own hometown.

“This way, the city doesn’t

have to hire a bunch more people,” said Lasalata, who’s taken part in similar plant-ings both as part of other community projects and around the house. “We drive by here all the time, and I’ve been into this sort of stuff for a long time.”

stantial foreign elements, why are they being allowed any influence over our political process? And yet, as of [the Supreme Court’s decision on] Citizens United, the law allows those corporations the same rights as U.S. citizens.”

Marysville’s Annie Hustvedt likewise expressed concerns about future Supreme Court decisions that might be made by justices appointed by whomever serves as president for the next four years. Like Arlington’s Mary Chesney, Hustvedt also emphasized the importance of backing down-ballot Democratic can-didates in order to have a shot at retaking the House of Representatives.

Mary and Doug Chesney have both worked in the health care field — Mary as a registered nurse in home health care, and Doug as a

pharmacist — and both expressed their support for “Obamacare,” which the mar-ried couple sees as a means of better meeting the needs of not only patients, but also health care providers.

“Many vendors are not able to participate in health care programs because they lose money,” Doug Chesney said. “As it stands, many small com-munities don’t have many, if any, independent pharmacists or doctors left.”

“The system is sending patients home earlier because that’s the only way many hos-pitals can survive financially,” Mary Chesney said. “They go home still sick and their fami-lies get overwhelmed trying to care for them, which often winds up with those same patients right back in the hospital. That’s poor manage-ment.”

As for Arlington’s Jody Mathison and Carole Van Loo, they shared fears that

the separation of church and state might be weakening, with Van Loo singling out the recent debate over insur-ers covering birth control that was inspired by Sandra Fluke’s Congressional testi-mony.

Arlington’s Mike Dumovich, the area cau-cus coordinator, answered questions about resolution submission by noting that the committees that decide which resolutions will move forward are always looking for more members.

“This is the Democratic Party, so we’re going to have 90 different opinions on any subject,” Dumovich laughed. “If you are passionate, your voice will be heard.”

MARYSVILLE — Area veterans came to the Snohomish County Regional Veterans’ Job and Resource Fair ready to pursue careers, as the event returned to the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Marysville on Tuesday, April 10.

Marysville’s Laurence Finrow, whose prior service includes stints in the Army National Guard and Marine Corps, was one of many lin-ing up to speak to Boeing representatives, in Finrow’s case because he was laid off by Kimberly-Clark.

“I’ve made several differ-ent contacts,” said Finrow, who was also keeping an eye out for possible employment opportunities for his wife. “I have trouble just staying at home and searching for jobs on the Internet. I’ve had job offers from places in Memphis, but before I make any sort of move, I want to try and get some-thing here.”

Everett’s Jun-aris Gomez left the Navy after 12 years just last month, and took the time to visit the table for Columbia College, whose Naval Station Everett branch is located next to the PX and commissary in Marysville.

“I’m going to school for IT security,” Gomez said. “This fair has been very helpful as far as offering a lot of resources and show-ing what’s out there.”

Bobby Davidson of Stanwood spoke with rep-resentatives of Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561 about the pro-grams that were available to him after his 13 years of active duty serving in the Army. Davidson described himself as multifaceted, with hands-on experience not only as a bodyguard and in working with mili-tary vehicles, but also as a cook and a tutor to autistic children.

“I’m highly trained,” Davidson said. “An event like this is very rewarding, because it brings every-thing so close. With a fair like this, people who are already having a hard time with the economy and their lives don’t have to go so far. Everybody wants to work.”

Post 1561 Cmdr. Willy Hughes estimated that at least 50 veterans had stopped by their table within the fair’s first two hours, and agreed with Post Adjutant

Bill Morse’s assessment of the recession’s dispropor-tionate impact on veterans.

“The general population has an unemployment rate of a little over 8 percent now,” Hughes said. “For vet-erans, that’s closer to 12-14 percent, depending upon their ages. What’s great about an event like this is

that you get to see who’s being affected. It can be hard otherwise to tell who has a job. A lot of people need the assistance that this fair is providing.”

“A lot of folks are hurt-ing,” Morse said. “They’re looking for anything that can get them on their feet again.”

4 The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe April 18, 2012THE PUBLIC FORUM

It’s encouraging to see the state’s unemployment rate drop to 8.2 percent in February. That’s down

almost a full percentage point from February 2011 when unemployment was at 9.1 percent. It demonstrates our state’s economy is slowly showing signs of recovery.

Still, the newest figures also mean that more than 288,000 people in Washington remain unemployed and looking for work. To put that in per-spective, it’s equivalent of nearly the entire population of Skagit County doubled, plus every man, woman and child in the cities of Arlington, Monroe and Sedro-Woolley.

That’s why I am disappointed with the outcome of the 2012 legislative session. We had ample opportunity to focus efforts on private-sector job creation legislation during the two-month session which began Jan. 9. Unfortunately, this opportunity was missed as majority Democrats spent much of the session on divisive social legislation, such as passing same-sex marriage legislation, which con-sumed 35 of the 60 days scheduled for the regular session.

In 2011, my House Republican colleagues and I created a jobs pack-age of legislation we called “Let’s get Washington working again.” This year, we worked to refine that pack-age to meet the needs of employers and our state’s economy. Our jobs plan included, but was not limited to the following bills:

■ House Bill 2290 would have simplified and reduced the number of tax rates for small businesses.

■ House Bill 1961 would have required agencies to make a per-mit decision within 90 days or it is granted.

■ House Bill 1125 would have

recognized hydropower as renewable energy, helping to provide for lower electricity rates.

■ House Bill 1872 would have reformed workers’ compensation by addressing final settlement options and other reforms to contain costs to the system, minimize time loss, and protect earnings for those who suffer work-related injuries and illness.

■ House Bill 2276 would have enacted major regulatory reforms.

■ House Bill 1779 would have modified joint and several liability to alleviate the high risk of tort claims on government and employers, irre-spective of degree of fault.

■ House Bill 1341 would have delayed implementation of rules until they have weathered the scrutiny of a legislative session.

■ House Bill 1156 would have extended the governor’s moratorium to suspend unnecessary rulemaking for three years or until state revenue growth shows evidence of economic recovery.

■ House Bill 1671 would have required state agencies to determine whether compliance of a proposed rule would have a specified economic impact on jobs and taxpayers before adopting the rule.

■ House Bill 1592 would have suspended the Growth Management Act in counties and cities where the unemployment rate exceeds 7 per-cent for three consecutive months.

Despite our best efforts to advance jobs legislation during the 2012 ses-sion, House Democratic majority leaders refused public hearings on nearly all of the bills, effectively kill-ing them. They passed their own “jobs” legislation (Senate Bill 5127) that would borrow money to pay for state infrastructure improvements, thus creating short-term jobs, but requiring taxpayers to pay back the borrowed money with interest over 25 years. That’s like taking out a 25-year mortgage to buy tires. You’re still paying on the tires long after they are worn out. Increasing public debt is not a smart way to create jobs.

I believe it will be small business-es that lead us out of this difficult economy and back on the road to prosperity. Unfortunately, this year, it will have to happen without the Legislature’s assistance. As you can see, my House Republican colleagues and I did our best to help local employers. Unfortunately, we were overcome by a majority party who felt their priorities took precedence over providing regulatory and tax relief our small businesses desper-ately need.

With so many people still unem-ployed, we have a long and difficult road ahead toward getting people back to work. I believe my fellow House Republicans and I are on the right track and we will not give up. We remain committed toward find-ing and adopting solutions that will get Washington working again.

Polluted stormwater runoff is one of the biggest obstacles to salmon recovery and the

cleanup of Puget Sound.Scientists have seen adult coho

salmon dying within 24 hours of returning to some polluted urban streams in western Washington. In some cases, 60 to 90 percent of the coho are dying before they can spawn.

What’s killing the fish? It’s a poison soup of brake pad dust, oil, gasoline and other pollutants that are washed by rain or melting snow from yards, sidewalks, parking lots and roads, right into our streams and Puget Sound.

We need to stop the pollution from getting into our waters in the first place. Prevention is a lot cheaper and more effective in the long run than trying to clean up waters once they are polluted.

Development has changed the way rainwater runs off here in western Washington. Our water-sheds were once like giant sponges, absorbing rain in the fall and winter, releasing it slow and steady in the spring and summer. As our watersheds are paved over, rainfall has nowhere to go except downhill. Fast. Winter floods are becoming more intense, causing increased damage to property and salmon habitat, while summer stream flows are becoming too low for salmon returning to spawn.

We know there are ways to grow other than those that hurt salmon. The Nisqually Tribe, for example, is working closely with the Eatonville community to reverse its storm-water impacts on two important salmon tributaries. The aim of the joint project is to completely disconnect the city’s stormwater system from the two rivers.

The Tulalip Tribes recently retrofitted a school’s stormwater drains on their reservation with low impact design technology. Engineered wetlands help absorb stormwater runoff from the school, while vegetation helps filter pollut-ants before they can reach Tulalip Bay.

Low impact development reduces impacts to salmon and our environment, and in most cases, it actually costs developers less to do the right thing.

The state Department of Ecology is working toward a stormwater permitting process to help cities and developers stop polluted runoff from getting into our waters. One way is by requiring low impact development practices that help preserve the natural con-ditions that we still have left in our watersheds.

These stormwater permits have already been delayed by the political process. They need to move forward, and soon. Puget Sound chinook have been on the Endangered Species Act list for more than a decade, yet there have been no substantial improvements to the environmental laws that got us into the problem to begin with. That needs to change, and the stormwater permitting process is a step in the right direction.

GUEST OPINION

BY LAUREN [email protected]

TULALIP — Neon col-ored shirts, glitter, pom-poms and bodysuits were the standard attire for the Snohomish County 2012 Walk MS event on Saturday, April 14.

More than 800 regis-tered supporters arrived at the Tulalip Amphitheatre to trek around the Seattle Premium Outlets and

Tulalip Casino. Their mis-sion — to raise money for research to find a cure for multiple sclerosis.

“I’m doing this for me, for my aunts and one of my girlfriends,” said Arlington resident Mitzi Ahles, team captain of the Lumpy Bruisers. The Lumpy Bruisers, with 35 members, was the larg-est team at the event and wore bright orange shirts to show their support. They

began fundraising with a goal of $250, but easily reached more than $1,000. “I’m very happy,” said Ahles. “This walk has been awesome. We couldn’t have asked for better weather.” Ahles was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in late 2010 and this was her first walk event.

Walk MS is part of the National MS Society and takes place at locations nationwide each year. In Washington, there are 11 individual walks and Snohomish County hosts the largest. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Tulalip Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon Jr. both spoke at the start of the walk.

“Everything went won-derfully,” said Sarah Danilson, site manager of the event. “We are thrilled that both the Marysville mayor and Tulalip Tribal Chairman spoke. We are honored.” Danilson also expressed gratitude to the Tulalip Police officers for providing traffic control during the event.

The walkers were greet-ed with live music from the band “The Singles” cover-

ing classic rock hits, face painters for the kids, goats from Team Goat Farmers, Bomber the Fox mascot from the Washington Stealth lacrosse team and Lincoln the Everett Silvertips’ mas-cot. Walkers were cheered

on by the Washington Stealth cheerleading squad known as the Bombshells.

The overall fundrais-ing goal for the Snohomish County walk was $125,000 and by April 16 they had reached $107,474.

ARLINGTON — The Eagles baseball team beat the Monroe Bearcats 9-1 during a home game on Friday, April 13.

“Garett Atkinson threw a real-ly good game,” said AHS Varsity coach Scott Striegel. It was the first win on the mound for Atkinson, an AHS junior. “He did a really good job of changing speeds and throwing kids off balance,” said Striegel.

Atkinson pitched seven innings, with 11 strike-outs and four hits. “He really pounded the strikes and got ahead of the hitters. He was really able to command his fastball,” said Striegel. “He retired the final 13 in a row.” Atkinson gave up all four hits during the first three innings of the game, but after that he settled in. At the plate, sophomore Ryan Walker went 2-4, senior DJ Smith went 2-3, junior Aaron Spring went 2-4 and junior Isaiah Vaughn went 2-4.

“The middle of our order really came alive with nine hits between the four guys, so that was huge,” said Striegel. “We’re getting pro-duction out of the whole lineup.”

Before defeating the Bearcats, the Eagles faced a challenging

series against the Lake Stevens High School Vikings during the first week of April. The Vikings are ranked number one in their division. “We had a really tough series before this where we played Lake Stevens and they are a really

good ball club,” Striegel said. The team lost to the Vikings in the first two games, but the made a tougher opponent in the third. “It told us that when we play well, we can compete with anybody. If we can take care of ourselves, we have

a lot of success,” said Striegel.The AHS baseball team also

scored a win over Monroe on Saturday, April 14, with a final score of 5-2. They are currently tied for fourth place, with the top four division teams heading to

playoffs. “Getting one more win will be really big for us,” said Striegel.

The Eagles are set to faceoff against Marysville-Pilchuck on April 18 and 20, and Stanwood the following week.

Eagles hand Monroe a 9-1 pounding


ARLINGTON — Arling-ton High School junior Anthony Allen tied for sec-ond place in a Wesco North 4A tournament played on his home turf at Gleneagle Golf Course in Arlington on April 12.

Allen scored a 35 on the 9-hole course and tied for second place with Sean Brill of Snohomish High School. He was one stroke away from first place. Five other teams attended the tourna-ment including Marysville-Pilchuck, Stanwood, Snohomish, Lake Stevens and Monroe. As a team, the Eagles ranked second to Snohomish finishing with a score of 196, nine strokes behind Snohomish’s 187. Wind and heavy rain last week resulted in a wet course on Thursday.

“The team did very well. We took second behind a very strong Snohomish team,” said AHS Golf Head Coach Greg Dailer. The first-place medalist at the tournament, senior Zach Martinson, also hails from Snohomish. The Arlington team currently ranks sec-ond overall to Snohomish, with a one-stroke separa-tion. AHS varsity golfers are headed to an away match at Snohomish on April 23 and hope to bring the team up to a ranking above their competitor.

“We will just continue to work and get better every match,” Dailer said.

The final AHS individ-ual scores were senior Jack Lindley, 39; senior Karl Biesler, 38; junior Anthony Allen, 35; junior Cody McLane, 43, and junior David Bianchi, 55.

Following the upcoming Snohomish match, AHS varsity golfers are set to compete in Oak Harbor on May 2 and at another Wesco 4A tournament on May 8 at Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville. After that, the team heads to the Wesco 4A district tourna-ment, which is scheduled for May 14-16 at Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett.

ARLINGTON — For more than three decades, the Post Middle School gymna-sium has hosted the research projects of the eighth-grade classes at their annual Social Studies Fair, and this year’s displays ranged from his-toric mysteries and wartime propaganda to local relics that tied into our nation’s growth over the years.

Eighth-grade student Max Fries lives near the railroad tracks by the Whitehorse Trail, and he brought a few rusted old railroad spikes for his “Riding the Rails” project display.

“I see that bridge as I’m going to and from school, and those old steam loco-motives are really cool,” said Fries, who discovered some of the less-than-reputable methods that the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads had used to secure federal funding for the lay-ing of their tracks in the lat-ter half of the 19th century.

Fries’ booth included a map of the two railroad companies’ lines as of 1870, which showed a tight net-work of tracks in the eastern half of the United States, with only lines ending in Dallas and San Francisco venturing into the western half.

“People in the East wanted

to get in on the Gold Rush, so railways would make tons of money charging them for tickets,” Fries said.

Fellow eighth-grader Emma Janousek had been interested in the “lost colo-ny” on Roanoke Island, just off the coast of Virginia, ever since she was a little girl, so she was eager to delve into the reasons for its apparent disappearance.

“The main lesson I learned was that they needed to organize and plan better beforehand,” Janousek said. “I think they didn’t reach their full potential because they rushed into it.”

Janousek’s display includ-ed a model of the colony on a miniature Roanoke Island, albeit “obviously not to scale,” given the sizes of the model settlers and Native Americans, as well as a wheel-shaped visual aid out-lining each of the steps that led from Columbus reaching America to the settling of the Roanoke Colony.

According to Post Middle School eighth-grade teach-er Jane Downey, student Brianna Whisman start-ed out with a very broad umbrella topic — the Civil War — which she ultimately whittled down to the rela-tively narrow focus of how photography affected the war.

“It’s always interested me how that difference of opin-ion split us into two com-pletely difference countries,” said Whisman, whose fas-cination with photography owes greatly to her time working on the yearbook. “Matthew Brady set out to record the war from begin-ning to end for future genera-tions, but he was upset about how excited people were about the war, so he showed them why they shouldn’t feel that way with their loved ones dying.”

Whisman noted that news-paper photography was the most immediate medium of its era, comparable to elec-tronic mail today, and dis-covered that the dead were posed by photographers to make certain losses seem worse than they were in the wake of certain battles.

“What started out as a very general topic for her became very specifically about propa-ganda in the media,” Downey said. “Another student began by researching the Gold Rush before looking just at Levi Strauss. We always appreciate the community coming in to support this fair by checking out what our eighth-graders have done. They’ve worked very hard in the long term to produce 150 separate proj-ect displays. There’s a lot of learning going on here.”

ARLINGTON — An estimated 8,000 plastic eggs were snatched up within minutes by the crowds sur-rounding each of the age-designated fields for Easter egg hunting outside of the Stillaguamish Athletic Club on the morning of Saturday, April 7.

Sarah Lopez, recreation manager for the city of Arlington, hasn’t seen any decline in attendance for the annual event, which is sponsored by the city of Arlington and the Cascade Valley Hospital and Clinics, with help from the Arlington United Church and Youth Dynamics.

For many attendees, such as 8-year-old Makaylynn Corbin of Arlington, this year marked one of their first

official Easter egg hunts.“The only other one I’d done before

was at a friend’s house, where they hid Easter eggs all around the house, even in the refrigerator and freezer,” said Corbin, who was able to grab just three eggs from the Arlington Airport field before they were all gone. “I had fun here, but it went quick.”

Corbin’s mom, Emily Gilbert, echoed a number of other parents, who both praised the event’s entertainment value for children and advised other families to show up early next year. Even Keith and Tammy Sundheim, who have been bringing their 5-year-old daughter Cinnamon from their home just down the road since she was two, admitted that they’d try to get a better parking spot by arriving earlier next year.

While Cinnamon Sundheim was most excited by the prospect of hav-ing her photo taken with the Easter bunny, April Boardway’s 5-year-old son Andrew and 3-year-old daughter Kiera were most eager to break open their Easter eggs for the candy inside.

“The weather couldn’t have been any better for it,” Boardway said of the warm, sunny day. “This field has a perfect layout for Easter egg hunt-ing, too.”

“I liked that the roped-off areas offered some level of control,” agreed Marysville mom Lisa Nelson, who brought two children while their older brothers played baseball. “It was also neat that the older kids could go hunt-ing in the trees, rather than just the open grass.”

TULALIP — The Marysville Historical Society’s ninth annual Spring Tea and Vintage Fashion Show will return to the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino on Sunday, April 22, from 12:30-4 p.m.

This year’s theme is “A Berry Festive Tea: Celebrating 80 Years of Strawberry Festival.” A vin-tage fashion show will be

presented with a red-and-pink emphasis. Guests are encouraged to “think spring” and dress their Sunday best. Fancy hats are also tradi-tionally encouraged, but not required.

As always, tables will be individually hosted, com-plete with cloth tablecloths, set with the hostesses’ favor-ite china patterns and cen-terpieces, which is why the

Marysville Historical Society is once again looking to recruit individuals to host tables. Individual seats are also available, but seating is limited and admission is by

reservation only. Seats are $25 each.

For seat reservations or more information, please contact Meg Engelter, Marysville Historical Society

Board member and reserva-tion coordinator, by phone at 360-659-3090 or via email at [email protected]. Reservations with payment are required.

Kevin Russell ShepherdJuly 29, 1962 — April 9, 2012

Kevin was born in Arlington, WA on July 29, 1962 to Linda and Russell Shepherd and passed away at the age of 49, April 9, 2012 in Medical Lake, WA.

Kevin is survived by his parents, Linda and Russell Shepherd, his siblings, Shawn, Richelle, Erin (Sean Millett), Jason (Mandy) and many nieces and nephews.

Kevin spent most of his life in and around Arlington, until he came to the Spokane area in 2009 when he moved to Spokane with us due to health conditions.

Being in a military family Kevin spent his early years traveling from state to state. California, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Florida, and a tour in Puerto Rico.

He attended Arlington High School where he participated in Arlington football fever and was a very proud member of the State Championship team of 1979.

Kevin was an avid sports fan, in particular the Pittsburg Steelers, and he enjoyed harassing those who were not fans of the black and yellow.

Kevin spent 5 years in the U.S. Marine Corps where he became a dedicated Marine receiving the following commendations: Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, National Defense Service Medal w/1 star, Southwest Asia Service Medal w/3 stars, Kuwait Liberation Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, Good Conduct Medal, Expert Rifle Badge (3rd award) and a Meritorious Mast.

At his favorite hangout, The American Legion in

Arlington, he volunteered his time to help purchase toys so children and teens would have a gift at Christmas time. He would help family or friends at the drop of a hat. Kevin was a friend to all, an enemy of none. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

A small internment ceremony will be held at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Medical Lake, WA on Friday, April 20 at a time yet to be determined.

There will be a “celebration of life” for Kevin at the American Legion Hall in Arlington on April 29 from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. in the upstairs hall. We hope you will all come and share your memories.

In lieu of flowers please consider donations to the Toys for Kids fund at the American Legion in Arlington, or the diabetes foundation.

Pepie is a 7 year old poodle mix who lived with an elderly lady and was the only dog in the home. He is not fully housebroken and does not like dogs, cats or children.
