Rotary Ranch remodeled By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – While still called the Rotary Ranch, the old petting zoo at Jennings Memorial Park looks more like a classroom than a barn. Mike Robinson with the city said the facility, which opened Feb. 17, will be used for various parks and recreation activities, including yoga, kettle ball and other exercise classes. Summer camps will be held there. It will be used for other community events, such as the annual Easter Egg Hunt.

The 2,000-square-foot building will be used by other groups, such as United Way. Temporarily, until the Ken Baxter Community Center is fixed, it also will house the senior center. “It will host rec programs yearround now and into the future,” Robinson said, adding some events took place outside that should have been inside but there were not enough buildings. Mike Leighan of the Rotary Club said it is an important meeting room needed by the community.

While he and many other club members donated many hours of labor to the project, Leighan said the city’s finish work is “gorgeous,” with pine columns and moulding around doors and windows. Leighan said the Rotary Club has a long history with the building. It started a petting zoo there in 1987, but it burned to the ground in 1993. The club rebuilt the petting zoo, but it closed down about five years ago

TULALIP — Amy Sheldon’s daughter has found it difficult to return to Marysville-Pilchuck High School in the wake of last fall’s shooting. “She still can’t walk by the cafeteria,” Sheldon said. Bonnie Juneau’s two children, both M-PHS students, have found it harder to express their feelings. “My oldest acts cool, like nothing’s wrong,” Juneau said. “My youngest is going into isolation.” Juneau turned down a request by her younger child to have a cable run into their bedroom. “I said, ‘No, you need to interact with others,’” Juneau said. “They don’t process this tragedy the same way.” They were two of the mothers who attended a community meeting Feb. 17 on suicide prevention and teen issues at the Tulalip administration building. Completely unrelated to the shooting, Rose Iukes’ daughter committed suicide last year, leaving her to raise her granddaughter, while her son survived a recent suicide attempt. Dr. Robert Macy, president of the International Trauma Center, identified differences in how boys and girls react to tragedy. “Boys tend to disassociate, while girls get in your face,” Macy said. “You need SEE SUICIDE,PAGE 2
