Denise Jacobsen found the “big knots” the hardest parts of the trees to trim, as she helped thin the limbs of the forested areas of the Doleshel Tree Farm Park in Marysville as part of the Sept. 17 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
MARYSVILLE — In spite of overcast skies that soon turned to the first sprinkles of rain that many Marysville residents have seen in a while, the Doleshel Tree Farm Park was packed with volunteers willing to wake up early on a Saturday morning, go outdoors and improve their community. Dozens of families and individuals alike arrived before 9 a.m. on Sept. 17, most of them bringing their own tools, to transform the property between Kellogg Marsh Elementary and 67th Avenue NE as part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance, sponsored by the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Deanna Vaughan, the Marysville Stake’s public affairs and community representative, explained that the overall objective
of the project was to clear the property of vegetation and trees, as the first step toward turning it into a park and community garden center. As part of this process, volunteers alternately cut down and thinned the limbs of trees that had already been marked by city of Marysville workers, trimming their branches to a height of seven feet to heighten public safety by affording greater visibility from the street to police. “The planning for this has been in the works for about the past six months,” said Shonn Mereness, one of the project’s key coordinators. “We wanted to enhance the availability of parks with an additional park system, which the city had also wanted to do for quite some time, so we were happy to help them out.” “We asked for people who SEE SERVICE, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank is getting a big boost from the Snohomish County-Camano Association of Realtors this month, as they conduct their annual food drive for this year through Sept. 30. Keller Williams Realty in Marysville did its part by presenting armloads of boxes and red bags filled with food and other much-needed supplies to
Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling on Sept. 13. “All the member offices of the Snohomish CountyCamano Association of Realtors take part in this food drive,” said Mary Nemeth, a realtor with Keller Williams in Marysville, as she hefted boxes and bags into Deierling’s truck on Sept. 13. “We get competitive about it,” she laughed. Last year, the staff of Keller Williams Realty in Marysville donated the cash
equivalent of more than 11,000 pounds of food to the Marysville Community Food Bank, with every dollar equating to six pounds of food. This year, the Marysville Keller Williams employees have collected both cash and food donations, many of the latter at grocery stores throughout town. “Everything that’s donated stays local,” Nemeth said. “We’ve even gone door-toSEE FOOD, PAGE 2
