MARYSVILLE — The one-year anniversary of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting was marked with a “Walk of Strength” Oct. 24, and hundreds turned out, including Nate Hatch, the lone victim who survived. While school district, city and tribal officials each offered their thoughts on the occasion, those who have worked with the grieving pointed to concrete steps that had been taken toward recovery. Marysville schools superintendent Becky Berg noted that staff have been trained to recognize signs of mental illness, while Tulalip Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon Jr.

cited the tribal meetings to give a voice to those who are hurting. “We still need to have a conversation about what qualifies as the new normal for safety in our schools,” Berg said. “I would hope that our schools could raise our kids to change this.” Sheldon added: “After a tragedy like this, people will ask why it happened, and a lot of times, we simply don’t have an answer for them. We know it takes time, but we want to feel better right away. You need to be patient, with ourselves and each other.” Mayor Jon Nehring has SEE WALK, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE – Sunnyside Elementary School teacher Danette Hedge normally is good at solving puzzles. But when it came to one at an assembly Oct. 27, she had no clue. Hedge couldn’t solve the puzzle that told her she accomplished a longtime goal of being picked to play on the Wheel of Fortune TV show. “I was trying to figure it out,” thinking it had something to do with Sunnyside, she said. She will be on the show sometime in February when it will be filmed in Seattle.

The school was able to pull off the trick by having a number of students up front with placards. Each one had a letter on it. Teachers in the audience would guess a letter. They also gave out student awards to throw her off. Hedge tried out for WOF in Everett a few months ago. She advanced to the second round in Seattle recently. She’d been checking her mail daily to see if she would advance to the live show. “I was shocked. I had no idea,” she said. Hedge said she only told a few people about the tryouts. “I didn’t think anybody knew,” she said. “I’m excited. I love it. I watch it every night.”
