Among the many activities offered at the Snohomish Aquatic Center is swimming lessons for children as young as 36 months old, all the way up to teen and adult swim lessons. The center is split into two main areas: the recreation side and the natatorium side. On the recreation side are all the family-oriented “fun” pool perks, such as a recreation pool, warm-water therapy pool, spray-play and zero-entry area for children, the Flowrider, which is the in-house surf-simulation machine, a lazy river and the Splashtacular water slide. “This is an aquatic wonderland,” said Kristin Foley, spokeswoman for the Snohomish School District, which built the facility. “Both sides (of the pool areas, separated by a large window) are saline. Our water is a saline system that produces natural chlorine. There are different bodies of water that are all inter-connected. Our lazy river is not very lazy. It moves along pretty quickly and kids love it!” On the natatorium side of the facility is the muchneeded competition swimming pool. The 10-lane, 25-yard by 25-meter pool boasts a technologically advanced Colorado timing system, complete with touch pads and time board. It also holds a deep diving well and two diving boards, as well as 10 starting blocks. The natatorium can seat 420 spectators. “We have this large glass window here, so that the two areas — the Rec side and the competition pool side — can operate independently of each other,” Foley said. “So if there’s a swim meet over (on the natatorium side), we can still have the rec side open.” Profits made from admission fees, lessons, parties, etc. will go straight into the school disDoug Ramsay photo, dougramsayphoto.photoshelter.com trict’s general Eric Schoonover of Snohomish holds his 14-month-old daughter Ellee fund. as they wind their way down the Lazy River feature at the Snohomish Aquatic Center.

Their weekend begins with a list of things to do and ends with a bunch of checked boxes. Lunch hours are time to squeeze in a visit to the gym or take advantage of a sale. Each day is a marathon of activity. If this is you, then you know nothing is worse than getting knocked down by a cold. Sitting on the couch, waiting to feel better while you could be running errands, working out or any number of things, is beyond frustrating. Speaking with a doctor isn’t always convenient when you’re sick, so many reach out to friends and family, desperate to find some way to feel better. More often than not, the home remedies they’re given are nothing more than old wives’ tales. A better plan of action is to turn to your pharmacist for help. Often more accessible than a doctor,all you have to do is walk up to the counter and ask them for expert advice. If you’ve ever wondered how to prevent a cold or how to feel better when you do have one, registered pharmacist and Snohomish Dentistry Kenny To D.D.S.

Myth #1: Going outside with wet hair can make you sick. Pharmacist’s take: Going outside with wet hair can make you physically cold, but it will not cause a cold.It takes a virus to make you sick, which is contracted through exposure to germs. Myth #2: Feed a cold, starve a fever. Pharmacist’s take: Fevers do not respond to food. That being said, it’s always a good idea to maintain hydration and nutrition when sick. Myth #3: Chicken soup can cure the cold or flu. Pharmacist’s take: Chicken soup is not a cure for anything but hunger. However, there is some evidence it can be beneficial when you have a cold or the flu because it is hydrating and contains needed electrolytes. Myth #4: The flu shot causes the flu. Pharmacist’s take: The flu shot is actually a killed virus See COLD AND FLU on page 7 Dr. Stacy Bowker, ND 20% OFF Eye Exams for $79! We have a nice selection of stylish, quality frames.

Millions of Americans are chronically sleep deprived. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that insufficient sleep is a serious and growing public health concern. What most people don’t realize is their lack of quality rest is often connected to bad sleep habits. Are you guilty of any of these top five mistakes that reduce your body’s ability to sleep all night? Mistake 1: Sleeping on an old mattress An old, unsupportive mattress inhibits quality sleep, yet the cost and time it takes to purchase a new mattress deters people from upgrading. Fortunately, the mattress industry is evolving so it’s easier than ever to get a new mattress. For example, order GhostBed at www.ghostbed. com and it’s delivered in a compact box. Once open, it expands into a lush three layer, 11-inch mattress. With a 101-night free sleep trial and 20 year warranty, it’s the easiest way to try out a new mattress without visiting different stores. Mistake 2: Using electronics at bedtime Tablets, cell phones, smar tphones – digital devices make it easy to stay connected, but they mess with the brain’s ability to fall asleep. Light omitting devices disrupt the body’s natural circadian rhythms. That means when you’re checking your phone right before bed, you’re c au si ng you r brain to think it’s time to wake. The best solution is to avoid digital devices for at least an hour before bed. Instead of TV or tech, take a bath, read or do some gentle yoga to get your body into sleep mode. Mistake 3: Ignoring phantom noise pollution Ticking clocks, beeping phones and buzzing electronics may not seem loud, but this phantom noise pollution is secretly robbing you of a good night’s rest. To encourage your body to get into REM sleep, try to eliminate as much noise as possible from the bedroom. If you’re left with other disruptive noises, such as a snoring partner or outside traffic, invest in a white noise machine or earplugs. Mistake 4: Keeping the bedroom too warm The Nat iona l Sleep Fou n d at i on i d e nt i f i e s temperature as a key factor to sleep, recommending a cooler sleeping environment. So turn down the thermostat, reduce blankets and rethink your mattress. GhostBed keeps sleepers cool because it is made with premium latex that allows for increased air flow, and gel memory foam instead of conventional memory foam. M i st a ke 5 : A l l ow i ng inconspicuous light You flip off the light switch when it’s time for shuteye, but your room is probably not completely dark. Even subtle glow from a nightlight, phone or muted TV disrupts those crucial circadian rhythms, causing your body to think dawn is near, which in return triggers you to get up. Try to remove or block all light in your room, and if there’s some you just can’t eliminate, an eye mask is a helpful alternative. so it is not live. It cannot give you the flu. Even the weakened virus in the nasal spray vaccination should not cause the flu. Some people experience what is called a “serum sickness” from vaccinations, but this is a short lived period of feeling lousy as opposed to the actual flu. Myth #5: Avoid dairy when sick. Pharmacist’s take: Unless you are taking a tetracycline antibiotic, typically used to treat respiratory tract and intestine infections, dairy is fine when you are sick. Keep in mind,however,that in some individuals, dairy can upset the stomach if they’ve got a stomach bug. While it mig ht b e disappointing to hear that chicken soup doesn’t actually cure a cold, the upside is there is an actual way to feel better. Morelli recommends continued from page 6 stocking your cabinet with cold and flu medicine, and the #1 pharmacist recommended brand to treat your worst cold and flu symptoms is Advil Cold & Sinus. Next time you’re sick and eager to feel better, go see your pharmacist and ask for Advil Cold & Sinus. Unlike a number of home remedies, it will actually help make you feel better, sooner.

A separate six foot wide equestrian trail runs parallel to the ten foot wide paved trail. The trail is lined with benches and picnic tables for your convenience. Portable style restrooms are located at the trailheads. The trail, now over 30-miles long, provides a safe alternative transportation route and extends from Snohomish to Skagit County. Eventually the trail route will be from the Bothell area to Skagit County.The linear park also serves as a conservation corridor protecting sensitive and important natural and cultural resources. The closest trailhead to Snohomish is located at 5801 S. Machias Rd., just north of town. There is also parking available along the north end of Maple Avenue for outdoor recreational enthusiasts. Trail users are also invited to visit the trailhead and rest stop in the community of Machias. This facility is a replica of a railroad depot built in the late 1890s. The depot once served a rail line which today is the Centennial Trail. The Machias Trailhead facility is available for rent. Call (425)388-6600 or e-mail scparksrec@gmail. com for reservations. Park History: The Centennial Trail is constructed on the original railway right-of-way built in 1889. The railway eventually connected Seattle north with Canada and linked Everett east with Stevens Pass. Operation ceased on the HartfordEdgecomb section in 1972 and on the Snohomish- Hartford section in 1987.To the south in King County, a section of this same abandoned railway line has become Seattle’s heavilyused Burke-Gilman Trail, and King County’s Sammamish River Trail. The railroad provided local and international mail,freight, and passenger service. It carried timber from the forests, lumber from the saw mills, and iron, copper, lead, silver, and gold from Mount Pilchuck and Monte Cristo mines. Tourists could ride in open rail cars to Monte Cristo and back for the day, winding through the steep canyons of the South Fork Stillaguamish River, or go to the Big Four Inn at the ice caves on the “Mountain Loop” to the east. Development of the trail began in 1989 during the state’s centennial, hence the name, Centennial Trail. The trail is open for use during regular park hours, from 7 am to dusk. The trailheads are locked during off-hours. Tim Noah Thumbnail Theater thrives on community By MELANIE RUSSELL Those who run the Tim Noah Thumbnail Theater at Fourth Street and Avenue D see “the Thumb” as a community beacon that sheds light on local talent. Tim Noah has several Emmy awards, National Academy of Arts & Sciences awards, and spots on HBO and The Disney Channel. He brought his experience to the local scene to give others the opportunity to shine in the spotlight. Together with partner Cyndi “Soup” Elliott, Noah founded the Tim Noah Thumbnail Theater in 2002. The theater was the Church of Christian Science for 100 years. Noah said their first musical theater class all those years ago had 14 children. Following the initial success of working with local folk and teaching classes in the church-turned-theater, Noah and Elliott focused their sights on performances, open mic nights and music-related events. Although they insist on being mindful of “little ears” that come into the Thumb for shows or lessons, they also want to stress the fact that the Thumb is also a place for adults and families. “This theater is for everyone. All ages – we get from 95 to 9 months. It’s here for everybody,” said Elliott. Elliott runs programs such as The Imagine Inn, and the two regularly put on the Kaddywompas Radio Show to local delight. Noah said he believes the main way the Thumb serves the community is how it provides a rare thing: An inter-generational gathering place for young and old to have an enjoyable experience together; coming together for arts-related events. It breaks down the barriers between ages by giving them a common ground – finding joy in music. “How wonderful it is that we can all gather in a place like this, and have a shared experience,” Noah said. “That’s high on my list. I love to see people walk through the door, and I love to see them walk out with a big smile on their face. I like extending that hospitality.” Doug Ramsay photo The Waltz Building is an ideal Venue for • Small Weddings & Receptions • Anniversary Dinners • Birthday Celebrations • Memorials Snohomish Historical Society • Company Meetings & Retreats Waltz Building • Holiday Parties Community Meeting Room • Air Conditioning 116 Ave B, Snohomish • WiFi Available The Waltz Building, located in Historical Downtown Snohomish, is an affordable community meeting room.

This has become a reality with state and county grants bankrolling most of the $500,000 deal. A significant chunk came from the Snohomish County Conservation Futures Fund, which gets its money through a sliver of property tax revenues. Constructing the boat launch is on the front burner. The city is anticipating the boat launch to open October 2016.State Department of Fish and Wildlife grants will pay for the construction. Fishermen and recreational boaters from all over the county are anxious for the boat launch to open. The master plan for the city to make the property into a park will not be available until after public input is taken. County buys 12 miles of Rail Corridor By MELANIE RUSSELL Snohomish County is taking ownership of 12 miles of the Eastside Rail Corridor, which has been envisioned for a tourist train to Snohomish for years. The negotiated price was $3.5 million for the section which runs from Woodinville to Snohomish. The county is paying for it from its Conservation Futures Fund, which derives its funding from a sliver of annual property tax revenue.

For more information visit www.historicdowntownsnohomish.org The County Council and Port of Seattle commissioners have approved the deal and the purchase-and-sale agreement could be finalized in midApril,county documents state. The port bought the entire 42-mile Snohomish-toRenton line from Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) in 2009 for $80 million. County leaders say the agreement between the county and Port of Seattle will protect rail and trail space. County Executive Dave Somers cheered the acquisition last week. “We will keep this corridor under public ownership and are committed to preserving this rail with trail asset,” Somers said in a press release. “This is the first step of many to protect a valuable community property.” Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak, a longtime proponent for putting a tourist train on the corridor, was enthusiastic about the acquisition. “We are pleased to hear this. This purchase has been ‘in the works’ for quite awhile, and we are glad to have the County as a major partner in developing the corridor for public purpose,” Guzak said via email. “The City of Snohomish supports the County in their commitment to developing both trail and rail. For our city, this corridor gives us connections south to Woodinville and King County and validates the potential for future growth.” Many ideas for the corridor have been pitched through the years, most prominently a tourist excursion train as well as expanding the Centennial Trail.

The center’s design is modeled after the old Snohomish Railway Station that was located just east of the Carnegie Building’s parking lot. With touches such as a 20-foot length of railway track outside and antique furniture inside, the center replicates what the city used to look like when trains steamed through town on several different lines. The Center boasts a Northern Pacific Railroad inspired logo. Snohomish antique dealers donated or sold all of the VIC’s furnishings which are pieces from the“schoolhouse period,” and the Chamber of Commerce stocked the building with office equipment. City Manager Larry Bauman said Snohomish boasts one of the best VICs in the state because of its historic design and its outdoor deck overlooking the Snohomish Street and Avenue D, is open information call 360-862River.
