MARYSVILLE — “Merrysville for the Holidays” put in its 24th annual appearance at Comeford Park on Saturday, Dec. 1, and in spite of what Electric Lights Parade announcer and city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew deemed “not rain, but tears of joy” that fell from the sky intermittently throughout the afternoon and evening, the event was drawing crowds well into the night. Bob Petersen tended the bonfire this year for the Marysville Lions Club, which experienced the slight problem of the weather being almost too good for the occasion. “Previous years have been a little colder, so we’ve had more people crowded around, but it’s been harder for them to find places at the fire,”

Petersen said as he placed more wood on the flames. “This year, though, we’ve had a steady stream of folks come by who have still been quietly appreciative of the warmth.” The Marysville Kiwanis Club joined Ivar’s and Vinaccio’s among the food vendors by selling hot dogs and hot cocoa to help raise funds for their programs throughout the year, while groups ranging from the United Way of Snohomish County to the Marysville Dog Owners Group set up special holiday backgrounds for “Merrysville for the Holidays” attendees to take photos of their families with their own cameras. City of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Maryke Burgess noted that the Ken Baxter Community Center’s holiday bazaar recruited 24 vendors, SEE HOLIDAYS, PAGE 2

Chamber meeting focuses on community need BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Need in the community during the holiday season and beyond was the topic of the Nov. 30 Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce Business Before Hours, as representatives of the Marysville Community Food Bank, Goodwill and Salvation Army each cited the works they’ve done on behalf of the less fortunate, and asked the surrounding community for its

support. Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling recalled that the Food Bank began as a temporary measure in 1974, before eventually receiving its 501(c)(3) status in 1987. “Now we have a Board of Directors with a 10-year plan and a 5,300-square-foot facility,” Deierling said. “The problem has not gone away, but the good news is that we now have an infrastructure to address that need.”

Deierling estimated that 190 individuals invest 2,000 hours a month to keep the Food Bank running for the roughly 275 families in need who stop by three times a week to collect ingredients for their meals. “That’s 6,100 individuals within the past year, or 10 percent of the population of Marysville,” Deierling said. “About 40 percent of them are children, and 10 percent are seniors. They come from all walks of life and SEE NEED, PAGE 9

reports, especially since it held off on pouring down for the most part,” Burgess said. “And, of course, we’re already looking forward to our 25th year next year, which is going to be even more amazing.” Crafters such as Suzi Parks of Marysville and Angie Whitney of Seattle were effusive in their praise of Burgess’ coordination of the holiday bazaar, as Parks hawked her uniquely unfolding scrapbooks and Whitney

that the day’s dark skies and occasional drizzle depressed its turnout to an estimated 2,500 attendees, down from its usual 3,000, but she touted the nearly two dozen Electric Lights Parade entrants who still showed up and proceeded south on State Avenue from the Marysville Municipal Court to just south of Comeford Park. “We’re pleased by the number of people who came out even with the weather

showed off her silk art and hand-painted phone covers. “This is the best-organized show around,” said Whitney, a lifelong painter who took up painting silk scarves just a couple of years ago because “I like seeing my art in people’s hands.” Jack Lybyer, the Electric Lights Parade’s grand marshall for this year, was also given the honor of lighting the Marysville water tower after the parade. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring credited Lybyer with helping to kick off “Merrysville for the Holidays” nearly a quarter

of a century ago, and Lybyer himself recalled how what was once the Operation Marysville Community Christmas campaign has evolved since its humble beginnings. “We started with four big brown barrels,” Lybyer said. “Now they’re red and they’re everywhere across town. I never could have imagined that what we helped start would turn into all of this. Christmas is really for kids. If we’re able to help kids have happier Christmases while they’re growing up, they might grow up into better

adults.” Outdoors, Arlington’s Annette Miner supervised son Austin and daughter Alexis as they assembled their own handmade crafts at a Girl Scouts of America booth. “We just moved to town, so this is our first time at this event,” Annette Miner said. “We didn’t have anything like this back in Shoreline. It’s wonderful for the kids.” “We’ll be coming here every year from now on,” agreed fellow first-time attendee mom Anya Gardulski.

Disposition of marijuana cases uncertain BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — As of Dec. 6, the possession and use of one ounce or less of marijuana becomes legal in the state of Washington, but how this will be enforced and prosecuted depends upon whom you ask, and in what part of the state. Prosecutors for King, Pierce and Clark counties have all stated their intentions to drop their existing misdemeanor marijuana possession cases, but as of Nov. 30, prosecutors for Snohomish County were still exploring what the disposition might be on their own existing marijuana cases. “[Snohomish County Prosecutor] Mark Roe and our other attorneys have been talking to law enforcement and each other,” said Hal Hupp, deputy prosecuting attorney for Snohomish County, who didn’t expect the matter to be resolved by Dec. 6. “Part of the problem is that the legal definition of marijuana up to Dec. 6, 2012, is different from the legal definition of marijuana from Dec. 6, 2012, forward.” One luxury for the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office with these cases is that, as Hupp said, “Dec. 6 is the start date for the new marijuana laws, but it’s not the deadline for decisions on the old laws.” Both Hupp and Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, acknowledged the complexities of the law in the wake of Washington state

voters passing Initiative 502, although she cited the new laws themselves as establishing at least a few certainties. “If the law says that possession of an ounce or less is legal, we’re not going to arrest you for it,” Ireton said. “If you’re in possession of more than that amount, or you’re under 21 years of age, or you’re distributing it, we will. If we get a call about 30-year-olds smoking up in the park, we’ll respond, because displaying or consuming marijuana in public is still illegal.” Although the possession, use and sale of marijuana-related drug paraphernalia will no longer be a crime or civil infraction, Ireton acknowledged that until the state comes up with licensing guidelines there is no legal way for people to obtain marijuana itself in Washington, unless they’re medical marijuana recipients. At the same time, Ireton and Hupp both noted that drivers’ THC levels from marijuana will continue to be grounds for DUI arrests. Ireton conceded that “these are very confusing laws,” especially given the differing ways in which each county is choosing to respond to them, while Hupp pointed out that the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office is responding “as quickly as it can,” given that “this is a small part of what we do, which tends to focus more on violent and sexual assaults and murder. The costs involved in these changes are already significant.” “And no, members of the

Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office can’t start smoking marijuana, because we’re still bound by federal laws,” Ireton said, in an attempt to clear up one misconception she’s already encountered. Marysville City Attorney Grant Weed explained that Marysville, like many cities in Washington, had not yet “sorted out all of the issues the 60-plus page I-502 presents,” but assured citizens that the city of Marysville intends to enforce the new law as written, including the DUI aspects of the new law. “The city will also be monitoring the many state regulations that will be adopted by the Liquor Control Board over the next year, and taking appropriate steps to seek compliance,” Weed said. “We will also be watching to see what the U.S. Attorney’s Office may do at the federal level.” Arlington City Attorney Steve Peiffle likewise described his own staff as “still looking at this issue,” albeit at a staff level rather than an attorney one at this point. “Not unlike the pattern of the past few years, we’re waiting for the federal response,” Peiffle said. “We know that the possession of certain quantities above the age of 21 will no longer be prosecuted and the sale of it is still illegal, but to a large extent, we have no real clue beyond that. We’re operating without guidance and hoping someone at a higher level will enlighten us.”

Police arrest two after $10,000 jewelry heist MARYSVILLE — Marysville Police officers arrested two male suspects soon after they had stolen approximately $10,000 in jewelry from the Marysville K-Mart. On Friday, Nov. 30, just after 3 p.m., Marysville Police responded to a reported theft at K-Mart located in the 9600 block of State Avenue. Store employees indicated an adult male suspect had come into the store and walked back to the jewelry area. He cut two cables that were securing a container with the jewelry and fled the store. The suspect met up with a second adult male who was waiting as a getaway driver in a Ford F150 pickup. The suspects fled northbound away from the store. A Marysville officer spotted the truck and attempted to make a traffic stop. After initially slowing down the truck then sped off and the officer pursued. After approximately two miles the officer terminated the pursuit due to the dangerous driving of the fleeing suspects. Officers were still driving in the area and spotted the suspect vehicle again, but the passenger was no longer in the truck. Officers again initiated a traffic

stop and this time the driver, a 51-year-old Everett man, was taken into custody. Officers continued to attempt to locate the second suspect in the surrounding neighborhoods. At some point a Marysville officer had stopped and talked to two Marysville citizens who were working in a shop and gave them a description of the suspect, specifically that he was wearing all black clothing and was missing one shoe. A short time later the suspect approached the citizens and asked them for a ride into Everett. They immediately recognized he was the suspect police were looking for. One of them told the suspect he would give him a ride but that he had to let his girlfriend know and walked out of eyesight of the suspect. He then called 911 and advised the suspect was in his shop. Marysville Police, with assistance from Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies, were able to take the second suspect, a 29-year-old Everett man, into custody. The jewelry was recovered in the suspect vehicle. There were no injuries or damage to property as a result of the pursuit.

The buck stops here

GRAEF FROM PAGE 4 Most will agree that the world seems to be going to hell on a handcart. Television and newspapers keep us up to date on the latest election fraud, mass-murder, rape, abduction, drug-bust and hanky-panky in high places. A status quo isn’t the world that parents want children to grow up with. As part of a generation that messed things up so badly, we ought to be gearing up to make things better. When good church-type people volunteer to set things right as Peace Corps volunteers or poll watchers or whatever, their projects seldom get hung up in the restrictive world of red-tape and petty regulations. How do you regulate stuff that isn’t generating a profit— other than good will? Threats of controlling volunteerism don’t work because there’s not much in the way of assets or wages to threaten. Churches have a lot of company in doing good works. Volunteers abound at the YMCA, in city government, Kiwanis, Scouts, Rotary, Soroptimists and Lions and so on. A check on the movers and shakers in every seat of volunteerism will show a surprising number to be church members of some kind. If you feel so inclined, try out a church. If it doesn’t fit, try another. When you walk in, stun them with the question, “What’s in it for me?” After they pick themselves up and if you’re in the right place they’ll say, “By God, that’s the most honest question we’ve ever heard around here.” And it’s the best and most honest start. Comments may be addressed to: robertgraef@ comcast.net.

The public Arlington City Council meeting that was held on Nov. 19 was a resounding wake up call which signaled a message loud and clear. I was hopeful that the advent of a new Mayor and City Council members might bring about a new mindset and put an end to the tax and spend mentality of past administrations. My wife and I purchased our home in Arlington in 2009. Since then I have gone through more Tums and Mylanta than any man alive as a result of the lack of responsible leadership. I questioned the Council on the merits of the decision-making process which led to the leasing of a postage stamp piece of land from BSNF. This perpetual lease calls for annual increases of 3 percent. Even though this parcel is crucial to the pending road expansion project and federal grant money for its construction, it still begs a resounding question. Who in their right mind would agree to lease anything where there are perpetual increases with no end? Clearly the taxpayers will be footing this bill for a very long time. Last year during the city’s public budget meetings residents sent a resounding objection to the skyrock-

Guest Opinion Philip Lane eting water and sewage costs the city imposes on homeowners, however, these objections remained unheard. Let me not forget, of course, the 1 percent property tax increase the City Council unanimously voted for in 2012. During the City Council meeting on Nov. 19, Financial Director Jim Chase proposed another increase to general property tax levy for 2013, which would increase from $1.31 to $1.41 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Mr. Chase further asserted the 1 percent increase in the general levy doesn’t even keep up with inflation. What Mr. Chase and the City Council fail to recognize is that working families’ salaries and income fail to keep pace with inflation and the shrinking value of the dollar forces working families to struggle now more than ever to keep pace with inflation. I keep hearing about population

growth in Arlington, however numbers can be deceiving. I would love to know if anyone ever considered these facts. How many of these residents are on public assistance? How many are senior citizens living on fixed incomes, or how many of these households have a major breadwinner who is now partially or completely disabled. It very easy to spout numbers without considering the impact on Arlington residents’ lives. Furthermore, raising the property tax now displays the moral compass equal to that of Bernie Madoff. I understand now the city plans on hiring an outside entity to lobby on the city’s behalf to the tune of $50,000. Again I respectfully ask, isn’t that why we elect candidates for public office? Are they not supposed to speak on the behalf of their constituents? Seems to me Arlington desperately needs responsible leadership and not more bureaucrats rubbing elbows, kissing babies or posing for photo ops with veterans. Find me a leader who says, “The buck stops here.” Philip Lane is a resident of Arlington.

According to Cavagnaro, the goal of the trial was to determine whether Carlile’s action or inaction constituted criminal negligence in the death of his daughter. “Obviously, this is a very sad case in which a child died,” Cavagnaro said. “I would urge those who have guns to be extra-careful with them around children.”

‘Passport to Christmas’ returns to downtown Marysville BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Even before “Merrysville for the Holidays” commenced that afternoon, downtown Marysville was literally singing with holiday cheer on Saturday, Dec. 1, as the stores, sidewalks and stages of Third Street were visited by a duo of strolling musicians and an a cappella quartet. “We’ve lost count of how many Christmas seasons we’ve come to Third Street,” said accordionist Bert Carlson, as he and saxophonist Herb Hamilton ducked into shops such as Finders Keepers Furnishings while wearing their Victorian period attire. “It just feels like an old-time Christmas, the way Christmas used to be.” “It’s the camaraderie of the community,” Hamilton agreed. “They’re one big family here.” On the Outer Court stage adjacent to the Carabinieri Bar espresso stand, the quartet of Ron Foss, Joneen Richards, and Darryl and Karen Handley performed popular seasonal standards while community members dropped off food items for Allen Creek Community Church’s Seeds of Grace, in order to get their families’ photos taken with Santa Claus. “This is a great stage, but you can’t let yourself get distracted,” Richards laughed, as Karen Handley pointed out that they had to remember to ignore the sounds of the trains and to bring their own lights when their per-

Saxophonist Herb Hamilton and accordionist Bert Carlson duck into Finders Keepers Furnishings to play Christmas songs during the ‘Passport to Christmas’ program by the Downtown Marysville Merchants’ Association on Dec. 1. formances go late. “We just hope we can make what might be a difficult holiday season for some folks a bit more enjoyable,” Foss said, while praising Carabinieri Bar owner Chrissie Clementson for being such a gracious host. For her part, Clementson was surprised that her collection bucket had already overflowed before Santa had even posed for many photos, but she wasn’t alone since Eric Schoonmaker, co-owner of Trusty Threads, had to empty out the plastic barrel that was serving as his collection bin for St. Joseph’s House, not once or twice or three times, but four times before the afternoon. “There’s been lots of inter-

est,” said Schoonmaker, who credited the “Passport to Christmas” program by the Downtown Marysville Merchants’ Association with getting people out on the street and into Third Street’s stores that day. “People saw the story in the newspaper, and they like our shops anyway. By having them get their ‘passports’ stamped by all the participating stores, it’s given them an added incentive and turns it into a game.” “It’s nice to have an atmosphere like this,” said Marja Oosterwyk, owner of Oosterwyk’s Dutch Bakery. Although she wasn’t able

to participate in this year’s “Passport to Christmas” program, she appreciated the number of filled-up parking spots on the street, which she credited to the program. Mary Kirkland, owner of the Hilton Pharmacy, agreed that the number of visitors to her store who stopped by to get their “passports” stamped was “a lot.” “Many of them had never been here before,” said Kirkland, who reported that scented candles proved to be one of her more popular shopping selections that day. “Especially the Indian Summer candles.”

Farmers Market hosts Handmade Holiday BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — For the second year in a row the Arlington Farmer’s Market has hosted Handmade Holiday, a craft and local goods market at the Co-Op, on Saturday, Dec. 1, during the city of Arlington’s Hometown Holidays celebration. The Co-Op accessory building was packed with shoppers looking to snag hand-crafted goods, winter veggies and even pictures with Santa. “We are definitely on track to be better attended than last year,” said Samantha Schuller, event coordinator. “I’d say that’s because of our reputation for having really high-quality handmade items. We have fewer vendors than last year, but it’s all supreme quality. It’s just really good stuff.” The market offered locally grown plants and vegetables, baked goods, local honey, truffles, knitted hats, crocheted scarves, handmade Christmas ornaments, vintage-inspired jewelry, hand-

made soaps and more. Victory Ralston, a 15-year-old Arlington resident, started her own business two years ago and began selling her own creations online and at Bella Bungalow, an Arlington boutique. “I’ve always loved crafty things and I love vintage and I thought I’d combine the two into handmade vintage-inspired things,” she said. Ralston sold a variety of her items at Handmade Holiday, her second year there. “I like that it’s during the holiday time, because my items make really good gifts,” said Ralston, who also sells her wares at www.vintagebyvictory.etsy.com. Christina Corvin of Marysville is another vendor who chose to sell her products at the market for the second year in a row. “I love the Arlington Farmers Market,” she said. “There’s a great sense of community and environmental responsibility.” Corvin has been crocheting for 17 years and selling

She sold hats, scarves and more at the market. The event spanned from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Santa Claus made an appearance for photos from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The city of Arlington was hosting its Hometown Holidays event at the same time which helped expose hundreds of visitors to the craft market. Handmade Holiday also offered a $5 per ticket raffle to win a live 5-foot

noble fir Christmas tree completely decked out with ornaments, decorations and gifts from the vendors, with proceeds going to support the Farmers Market. “There is so much great stuff on there, I almost want to win it myself,” joked Schuller.

MARYSVILLE — Santa Claus was a busy guy in Marysville on Saturday, Dec. 1, as he posed for photos not only at the Carabinieri Bar espresso stand for the “Passport to Christmas” and in Comeford Park for “Merrysville for the Holidays,” but also at the Marysville Mall to help raise funds for the Marysville Historical Society. “The fun thing about this is that we’ve had a lot of repeat customers,” MHS President Ken Cage said. “A number of kids have come all four years that we’ve had this, but we’ve also had some newcomers this year, who saw the story in The Marysville Globe.” The Santa photo sales were supplemented that day by a bake sale and a raffle prize table, with Cage bragging that the brownies, cookies, fudge and other baked goods were all handmade by MHS members. “With $50 from raffle ticket sales, $20 in goodies sold and about 50-60 kids who came in, I’m guessing we probably made around $400 all told,” MHS Treasurer Meg Engelter said that afternoon, even as families continued to come in for their Santa photos. “By gathering up their emails, we hope to be able to let them know next year when we offer Santa photos again.”

Engelter and Marysville City Council member Steve Muller, also a Board member of the Marysville Historical Society, agreed that the primary fundraising focus for the MHS remains its longawaited museum and community center. “It’s going to be more than a museum,” said Muller, who noted that the hearing examiner will review the conditional use permit for the facility at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 13.

City of Marysville officials and representatives of local service clubs joined MHS members in breaking ground at the site for the facility, adjacent to the Jennings Park Barn area, on Aug. 25 of this year. Muller touted the facility’s planned 200-person grand hall, which he sees as a means of turning it into a center of social and cultural activity, which in turn could provide its own revenue stream. “We won’t have to go out of town for our big celebrations,” Muller said. In the meantime, one of the Marysville Historical Society’s most pressing needs is more volunteers, so those who are interested or would like more information should call Cage at 360-659-3090. The Marysville Historical Society is located in Suite B at 1508 Third St.

Centers under the purview of the Seattle Goodwill have enrolled 4,400 students, helped 700 get connected with new jobs and provided support services for 34,000 in the past year. “All our proceeds go back into teaching and retail,” Siler said. “On Dec. 26, we’ll be offering 50 percent off on all color-tagged items.” Lt. Col. Harold Brodin, Marysville/Tulalip program coordinator for the Salvation Army, characterized his group’s outreach to the needy as “a demonstration of the love of God,” devoid of any discrimination based on race, creed or circumstances. “From the rocking horse to the rocking chair, we’re here to serve the whole person,” said Brodin, who listed Salvation Army programs for the less fortunate including adult rehabilitation centers, work therapy programs funded by thrift store sales at no cost to the clients, summer camps run on a scholarship basis and low-income senior housing supported by HUD, such

as their sites in Seattle and Puyallup. “As with Hurricane Sandy, we’re among the first to arrive at natural disasters, and we’re still there to provide canteens for the rescue workers,” Brodin said. The Salvation Army’s other area services include free weekly meals for the needy, limited prescription assistance, donated clothing, bus tickets for specific necessary appointments and transitional housing. “We want to help people solve their problems by giving them a hand up, not a hand-out,” said Brodin, who noted that volunteers are one of the Salvation Army’s most pressing needs during the holiday season, especially with the “Battle of the Bells” enlisting individuals and groups to ring the bell for the Salvation Army at various stores throughout Snohomish County.

Holiday Tour of Lights returns to Cedarcrest Golf Course MARYSVILLE — The Cedarcrest Golf Course will become an after-dark winter wonderland starting on Thursday, Dec. 6, when its fairways will transform into a showcase for dazzling light displays for the second annual Holiday Tour of Lights. Families and individuals alike are invited to hop aboard a Merrysville Express Rotary Train and traverse the winding paths at Cedarcrest amid 30 enchanting light displays. Tours will be available from 6-9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from Dec. 6-29, at the Cedarcrest Golf Course, located at 6810 84th St. NE. Two Rotary trains will transport guests on a 20-minute ride through rolling hills on the west side of the course

and around the pond, passing through a penguin village, polar bear forest, Santa’s workshop and other displays, according to city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew. “Join us for a fun and unforgettable experience for the whole family,” Ballew said. Plenty of free activities, a community bonfire, music and carolers, and holiday restaurant specials will happen in the plaza area outside the Pro Shop and restaurant. While there is no admission fee, a donation of $3 per child, $5 for adults or $20 for a family is suggested. For more information, call the city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Department at 360-363-8400 or visit the city’s website at http://marysvillewa.gov.

they have tremendous stories. Many of them thought they were set for life, until series of events led them to the Food Bank.” In the current economy, Deierling pointed to a number of grandparents who have found themselves providing shelter for their grandchildren, or even their adult children, and wondering how budgets that would have provided comfortably for their own expenses can now be stretched to feed an extended family. In addition to its regular distribution times, the Food Bank also conducts home deliveries twice a month to those who are housebound, and just as the Food Bank provided Thanksgivingthemed meals, so too will its volunteers pack Christmas meal baskets later this month, in conjunction with their toy store on Dec. 19-20 at Dunn Lumber. “The way the Food Bank works is, if people need

help, they’ll get it, but once they reach the point where they can give help, many of them choose to do so,” said Deierling, who described area students as “our secret weapon” for donations, while also encouraging adults in local businesses and service clubs to continue to expand their contributions. “You can make the collection drives into a competition. Volunteering is a great way to get handson interaction with your community.” Tania Siler, site manager for Seattle Goodwill Job Training and Education, reminded Business Before Hours attendees about the Marysville Goodwill’s registration period, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Dec. 10-13, for free job training classes. “These classes are open to anyone seeking to overcome economic barriers,” Siler said. “The only requirement is that you’re either looking for work or building your skills to get a better job.” According to Siler, the 10 Job Training and Education

M-P falls to Arlington on the hardcourt BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Tomahawks boys basketball team faced some challenges in their first week of play, as they faced only 4A schools. Marysville-Pilchuck lost their season opening game against Arlington High School on Tuesday, Nov. 27, as the Eagles managed a 58-43 victory. Although they didn’t win, the Tomahawks also weren’t dominated. Despite the larger size of their opponents’ school, they put up a good fight. M-P’s 6-foot junior guard Kyle Garton scored 12 points during the game, including three 3-pointers. His teammate, 6-foot-3 junior Austin Lobaugh, also scored three 3-pointers and 11 total points during the game. Conner Martinis, a 6-foot-2 junior, scored five points, including one 3-pointer, as did 6-foot-1 junior James Couls. Michael Painter, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, scored four points as did 6-foot-2 junior Dante Fields, while 6-foot-4 junior TJ Rice scored two points. The first half of the game held more hope for the Tomahawks as they maintained consistent possession of the ball and were only behind 24-21 going into halftime. The Eagles came out tough offensively in the third quarter to put up another 14 points, while the Tommies only managed seven. M-P kept pace with Arlington’s scor-

ing during the fourth quarter, managing another 15, but the early lead by the Eagles held and Arlington took it, 58-43. “Our young team has been battling against some tough opponents,” said M-P head coach Bary Gould. “We are getting better with each game and practice. We have had some hard-fought losses against high quality 4A opponents — Arlington, Snohomish and Issaquah.” Snohomish took a 67-44 victory over the Tommies on Friday, Nov. 30, while Issaquah pulled off a 78-46 win. “This week we face another difficult task on Tuesday at home against Lake Stevens. We will open our league schedule on Friday at home against our crosstown rivals Marysville Getchell,” said Gould. The results of the Lake Stevens game on Tuesday, Dec. 4, were not available by press time, although the Vikings began their season with two non-league losses, to both Mead, and Lewis and Clark. Gould is impressed by his team’s dedication and believes that they have a strong potential to be one of the top 3A schools. “Our players are very hard workers and are excited to play our first league game,” he said. “Some top performers so far have been Conner Martinis, Austin Lobaugh and James Couls. All of our guys are stocked full of potential and are poised to make a run for the 3A playoffs.” The Tomahawks face the Marysville Getchell Chargers at home on Friday, Dec. 7.

MARYSVILLE — The MarysvillePilchuck girls basketball team had a rocky start to their season after losing the season opening game at home against Arlington High School on Wednesday, Nov. 28. The Eagles pulled out a victory over the Tomahawks with a 56-31 non-league win, but the Tommies started out giving the 4A school a challenge. For the first half of the game the Tomahawks kept the Eagles in check with strong offensive plays, scoring nearly as many times as their opponents. Top scorers for the evening included 6-foot tall junior forward and point guard Jenika Anglim, who made 11 points for the team. Charlee Pilon, a 5-foot-11 junior guard, scored eight points including one 3-pointer. Binta Bojang, a 5-foot10 junior forward, scored six points and showed strength in defense. “Binta Bojang was awesome defensively, she blocked out really well,” said M-P head coach Julie Martin. The score was close going into halftime, with the Eagles maintaining a 24-19 lead. The second half sealed the deal for Arlington when they scored an

additional 32 points, while M-P only managed 12 points. “I’m just really excited that we get to play such great caliber teams like Arlington,” said Martin. “In the first half tonight we played really well and were very solid on defense.” The Marysville-Pilchuck team is fairly young, with five returners and only one senior. “Our juniors are really talking to the younger players and being good leaders,” said Martin. “We have a really great bunch of girls who work really well together. I was really proud of the way they worked together tonight.” The Tomahawks played Snohomish, another 4A school, in an away game on Friday, Nov. 30, and lost the game 55-44. They led the game for the first half, but Snohomish outscored them in the second. M-P’s Abi Otto scored 15 points, while her teammate Amanda Kalab scored 14. The team played Bothell in an away game on Saturday, Dec. 1, and won their first game of the season with a 42-36 victory. Jordan Bengen scored 13 points, while Jenika Anglim scored 10 points. They are set to play Lake Stevens in a non-league away game on Wednesday, Dec. 5. Their record is now 1-2 overall.

LHS presents ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — This December will mark a number of firsts for the Lakewood High School Drama group — their first holiday play, which is also their first staging of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” the first time that many of the high school actors have worked with younger actors onstage, and some unique casting for a few of the main characters. “It’s a Wonderful Life” takes to the LHS stage at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7, and Saturday, Dec. 8, as well as on the following Friday and Saturday, Dec. 14-15, with nearly two dozen high school actors, two middle school actors and two elementary school actors, after LHS Drama teacher Rebecca White was inspired last spring to put on something appropriate for the winter festivities that could also accommodate the larger cast size that’s typical of the school’s fall and winter plays. In order to meet the ratio of male to female actors, however, some characters got noticeable makeovers. While junior Bryce Shepard and senior Alethea Cody are playing George and Mary Bailey, fellow senior Brianna Winegar is playing wheelchair-bound rich villain Mr. Potter as “Ms. Potter,” just as junior Kaley Trapp plays the angel

Clarence as “Clarisse.” “She’s obviously younger than Lionel Barrymore, but I also try to play her more classy and sneaky,” Winegar said of her role. “She doesn’t just straightup hate everyone else, but she wants to own everything they have.” To distinguish Ms. Potter visually, Winegar dons more elegant-looking furs. Trapp likewise acknowledged that Clarisse is much younger than Clarence, but she still plays the character as old enough to be matronly, albeit in an intentionally comic fashion. While Shepard and Cody’s takes on George and Mary are not nearly as far removed from the original versions of the characters, the young actors still felt compelled to create their own takes, rather than merely imitating Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. “I think Bryce plays George as more confused, while Jimmy Stewart was more shocked,” White said. “With Bryce, there’s always this, ‘What’s going on?’” Cody enjoyed working with the younger actors who play George and Mary’s children, which includes Cody’s younger sister, and she found the coordination of the “Buffalo Gals” sequence to be challenging yet rewarding. “Donna Reed’s Mary is more sweet and lets other people influence her a bit

enthusiasm for finally playing a villain has made it all worthwhile to her. The bustling cast has been rehearsing since the first week of October, after auditions late in September, and the actors have found themselves averaging a dozen hours of work a week

on the play, whose extensive set design includes a house, a bridge, an office, a porch and a cemetery. “I’ve always loved the movie, so it just seemed natural to bring it to life,” White said. The Saturday, Dec. 15, showing will be a dinner

theater. General admission is $7, while seniors, children aged 3-10 years and students with ASB will pay $5. Children aged 2 years and younger will be admitted for free. For more information, email White at rwhite@lwsd.wednet. edu.

research and developed a recipe for survival -- dietary changes, an exercise regimen, and better management of stress, to weaken the cancer. He beat the odds of having a disease that, for many other people, has taken their lives much earlier. He fought a courageous 12 ½ -year battle against cancer before it finally claimed him at home on Monday, November 26th in Vancouver, Washington. “He was such an amazing guy,” said his son, Mark. “He was so caring and that came

across with other cancer patients and the cancer community. He was one of those healing individuals that are almost impossible to be in a room with and not come away without feeling better. He had an amazing impact on people”. He loved his 1969 Chevy Impala, NASCAR, and was Greg Biffle’s biggest fan. Watching Greg race his #16 the past 12 years was an important part of O.D.’s therapy. He never missed a race. O.D is survived by his wife of 60 years, Darlene, a sister Illa Faye, his son, Mark, a grandson Jeffrey, and a great grandson, Tigran. Contributions in O.D.’s memory may be given to Help4Cancer.net at 1400 NE 136th Avenue, Vancouver, WA. 98684. 11/29/12 9:45:32 AM

O.D. Burright, born on March 12, 1933 in Logan County, Oklahoma, was the third of four siblings; one brother and two sisters of Orrin and Mabel Burright. In 1940 the Burright family moved to Portland, Oregon from Oklahoma. In 1962 O.D. moved his family to Marysville, Washington just off of Firetrail Road. During a routine physical examination in 2000 O.D. was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer. After being diagnosed and facing a prognosis of only a few months to live, O.D. got a second opinion, underwent chemotherapy, radiation and a stem cell transplant that his oncologist recommended. But, in time, realizing that only traditional treatments could not stave off the cancer; he and his son did extensive
