Marysville remembers Juan Mendoza BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
MARYSVILLE — The Marysville community has rallied around the family of Juan Mendoza, the 16-yearold Marysville Getchell High School junior who lost his life on Oct. 24 in a car accident. A student-led memorial and celebration of Mendoza’s life for his friends and family, as well as for Marysville School District staff and others who wish to attend, will commence on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m in the Marysville Getchell High School gymnasium.
“There are many needs for this family, and many students, staff and the community — including the Tulalip Tribes, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and his family, the Marysville Rotary, Olive Garden and Cristiano’s Pizza, to name a few — have stepped up to fill those needs,� said Jodi Runyon, executive assistant to the superintendent of the Marysville School District, who also extended her thanks to Wendy Messarina, the MSD ELL Spanish/multilingual parent community liaison, for working closely with Mendoza’s family to attend to their needs. Runyon and Messarina noted that
a memorial fund has been set up at HomeStreet Bank, and is accepting cash and checks for the time being. “You can either stop by the bank, at 1238 State Ave., or mark an envelope for the ‘Juan Mendoza Memorial Fund’ and drop it in the night-drop,� said Messarina, who added that the account number is 536-922-1111. Bill Brubaker, president of the Marysville Youth Soccer Club, expressed his sympathies not only for Mendoza’s family, but also for Lars Kundu and Andy Vavrousek, the other SEE MENDOZA, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — The merchants of Marysville’s Third Street once again opened their doors to miniature ghosts, ghouls and goblins, along with an assortment of other characters, during their annual trick-ortreat event on the afternoon of Oct. 31, Halloween Monday. Cole Cannon, a 5-year-old Batman in bright blue, was surprised to see a much older Batman in black waiting for him in the doorway of Finders Keepers Furnishings, as Kip Goovee handed the young visitor a fistful of candy. “I was Elvis last year, but the kids didn’t know who that was,� said Goovee, who’s taken part in Third Street’s trick-or-treat for the past five years. “This is one of the best turnouts we’ve had. It feels good to see these families smile. It’s nice to give back to the community. Us mom-and-pop stores hang together, but we have a lot of support from the locals.� Isabeau Prettyman, a 4-year-old fairy, and her brother Bishop, a 6-year-old pirate, took a time-out in the middle of the hour-long trick-or-treat to count the candy they’d col-
