MARYSVILLE — Compacting all the plays of one of the most acclaimed writers in history into a total running time of less than two hours would be a challenge for any company, much less one made of up of nine students, but if there’s one thing that the actors of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School POC Drama Club are not short on, it’s energy. “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” kicked off with evening performances in the M-PHS auditorium on Nov. 3, 4 and 5, and continues its run on Nov. 10, 11 and 12, starting at 7:30 p.m. on these days. The first thing that the cast agreed upon was how rigorous its pacing has been, even in rehearsals. “The movement is just so fast,” said senior Kristen George. “Timing is everything,” said sophomore Kiera Sorensen. In spite of the demanding nature of the play — whose highlights include a “Romeo and Juliet’ parody, “Titus Andronicus” presented as a cooking show, “Othello” as a rap, “a perfectly Scottish ‘Macbeth,’” in the words of director Roy SEE M-PHS, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — Marysville city officials are crediting a drop in reported crime rates over last year to a police force that’s redeployed its resources and focused on analyzing and responding proactively to crime. Although the city’s population has increased over the years, this year had only 36 crimes reported per 1,000 residents, a decline from last year’s 45 crimes reported per 1,000 residents, which

adds up to a 15 percent decline in crime from last year’s reported rates through August. The sharpest drops were in vandalism and malicious mischief, which went from 604 reported cases in 2010 to 439 in 2011, and theft, which went from 1,103 reported cases in 2010 to 902 in 2011. Within that same window of time, vehicle prowl cases dropped from 321 to 268. Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith reiterated that much of the credit for these SEE CRIME, PAGE 2
