ARLINGTON — The Arlington community marked the start of its winter holiday season on Saturday, Dec. 3, with the return of its “Hometown Holidays.” For Venea Dahlgren, this year’s Santa parade was doubly special. Not only was it the first Santa parade she’d attended since moving to Arlington five years ago, but two of her children were on the float for Pacific Learning Solutions, from which they’ve received tutoring. “We usually do the Fourth of July parade, but we’ve never done the Hometown Holidays before,” Dahlgren said. “We’re cold weather wimps,” she laughed. “It really kicks off the Christmas feeling,” said Venea’s husband, Mark Dahlgren.
Marty Schoos moved to Arlington with his family in 2004, and he figures they’ve attended the Santa parade every year since. “As much as the wife and kids complain about the cold, they look forward to it and drag me here,” Schoos laughed. “The candy from the parade is a big hit with the kids, and the wife likes the 20 percent-off ‘Super Saturday’ sales at the shops on main street.” “Seeing Santa gets me as excited for the upcoming Christmas season as it does the kids,” said Marty’s wife, Liz Schoos. While the Arlington Farmers’ Market drew crowds to Magnolia Hall with their “Handmade Holiday” of handcrafted goods by local artisans, the Arlington Relay for Life was SEE HOLIDAYS, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — Hands Together of Arlington provided cold-weather shelter for 24 different homeless people from November of last year through March of this year, and as early as Nov. 4, Pastor Deena Jones of the Arlington United Church saw the need in the community again. “There were seven homeless people hanging out in the gazebo in Legion Park,” Jones
said. “I gave them all sack lunches from the Brown Bag Brigade. Our policy is that it has to be below 32 degrees for more than three hours before we set up the shelter. We keep a close eye on the weather forecasts, but things can change so quickly that we don’t have enough volunteers or prior notice to make it happen.” Although Hands Together represents a partnership between five Arlington churches and local service organizations including the Kiwanis and Lions, its demanding hours can leave it short-staffed. A minimum of two volunteers must be on site at all times to supervise both the homeless people and the SEE SHELTER, PAGE 2

Hailey Hathaway was actually selling her handmade bead likenesses of lizards and snakes to raise funds for the Marysville Tulalip Relay for Life, but the 11-year-old was a welcome presence among the Arlington Relay teams’ tables. “I told her not to bring her beads, because she’d just make a big mess, but they’ve been selling really well,” said Hailey’s mother, Stacey Hathaway. “She made

probably $130 or $150 last year for Relay from selling her bead geckos.” Jan Schuette made 3,300 pieces of caramel for the Christmas bazaar, and expected to raise as much as $1,360 for Relay in honor of Jesse Kendell Schuette, who lost the battle to cancer just shy of 15 years old in 1995. “I’ve made 46 batches and sold it online as far away as California,” Schuette said. “I’m not subtracting any expenses from the proceeds.” As members of the Arlington High School band and the Gamlen family carolers spruced up the air with seasonal songs, the line to see Santa in the Legion Park gazebo stretched around the block. This year marks Nicole
Tyler’s second winter holiday season in Arlington, but it was her first time taking her kids to sit on Santa’s lap in downtown Arlington. “I just didn’t know about it last year,” Nicole Tyler said. “I think the most fun they’ve had has been at the arts and crafts tables, making paper gingerbread men and candy cane holders.” Of her kids, Lilyonna asked Santa for a Nintendo DSi, Aliyah requested a purple camera and Tyler wanted Bumblebee, the Autobot Transformer, plus Batman’s Batcave. Rory and Angie Bolter live in Lake Stevens, but as an Arlington police officer, Rory chuckled as he explained that he felt compelled to support Arlington’s economy by
taking part in its “Super Saturday” sales on Dec. 3. “There’s just something special about Arlington,” Rory Bolter said. “It’s got a hometown neighborhood feel. I’ve done most of my Christmas shopping here today,” he laughed. “We come here instead of the mall,” Angie Bolter said. “It’s just as nice, but not as pricey.” “[My daughter] Abby wants a dollhouse for Christmas, and her mom and dad want to help the city balance its budget,” Rory laughed. The Arlington Community Food Bank got a boost amidst all the shopping, as 25 families donated at least $10 each to have their family holiday portraits taken by incoming Arlington City Council

member Debora Nelson within the first hour alone of the four-hour photo session. “Some families paid $40 to have four different photos taken of their kids,” said Jodi Smith, as she checked in the families for the food bank fundraiser. “Last year, we raised $600 and 600 pounds of food.” “We usually get big crowds for the Hometown Holidays, but we’re seeing way more people this
year,” said city Recreation Coordinator Sarah Lopez, who also credited the local Lifeway Foursquare Church with providing hot chocolate and the crafts for kids. “It helps that we’ve had good weather and lots of different community groups involved, but I also think people who checked out our Hometown Halloween might have decided that it was so much fun that they wanted to come back for the next big thing here.”
SHELTER FROM PAGE 2
Jones noted that the demand for the shelter’s resources had increased from its first season in service, from December of 2009 through March of 2010, during which it was open for 25 nights and saw 13 different homeless people. “The easiest part is feeding them,” Jones said. “All of us ladies love to cook, and The Lord’s Kitchen provides us with soup on different nights. What we need are volunteers who can stay awake to watch over the homeless. A lot of them don’t like regular shelters, especially if they’re victims of domestic violence. I love that this is a giving community, and that so many people want to donate things to us, but the most important thing we need is more warm bodies to keep this going.” For more information on Hands Together, call Jones at 360-435-3259.
trailer full of supplies, including 24 mattresses and blankets, from 8 p.m. through 7 a.m. on each night that the portable shelter is in operation. With those 11 hours divided into three shifts, that’s six volunteers who need to be available every night that the shelter is up and running. From November of 2010 through March of 2011, that added up to 33 nights, during which the shelter provided a total of 122 beds to homeless people. “If everybody on our list of volunteers is needed for a Saturday night of manning the shelter, that doesn’t leave anyone to conduct our worship activities the following Sunday,” Jones said. “They’re predicting similar weather this winter as we had last winter.”

VFW provides holiday parties for National Guard, families MARYSVILLE — During the same weekend that Arlington celebrated its “Hometown Holidays” and Marysville became “Merrysville for the Holidays,” the members of Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561 made sure that the soldiers of the Washington Army National Guard 81st Brigade who are serving locally would have a happy holiday season as well.
The Marysville Armed Forces Reserve Center hosted the VFW’s Christmas parties for the 81st Brigade Headquarters Company on Friday, Dec. 2, and Bravo Company on Sunday, Dec. 4. “We saw about 110 soldiers on Friday night, and another 70 on Sunday afternoon,” said Post 1561 Cmdr. Willy Hughes, before presenting a certificate to Headquarters Company Commander Capt. Michael Balam on Dec. 2 for the

Arlington VFW to “adopt” the company’s troops. Hughes thanked Balam for his company’s donation of $150 toward the event from its Morale, Welfare and Recreation fund, which aided the VFW in decorating and supplying the mess hall and “Santa’s workshop” areas of the Armed Forces Reserve Center, as well as in providing Santa photos for soldiers’ families and a crafting table for their children. “It brings the families closer to the military,” said Balam, whose troops come to Marysville one weekend out of every month. “I’ve heard wives say that when they see just a bit of what their husbands go through as soldiers, they can understand why they sometimes come home feeling a bit stressed.” Balam’s troops have already deployed to Iraq twice, but until they receive further orders, they’re standing by for word from the governor. In the meantime, while unaccompanied soldiers such as special-
ists Lucas Halcomb and Marcio Neuy shared laughter and conversation over their meals, parents such as Lake Stevens residents Staff Sgt. Beau Froelich and his wife Sarah watched raptly as their children climbed
into Santa’s lap and received stuffed stockings full of presents from Mr. and Mrs. Claus. “It’s rare that we can have get-togethers like this,” Beau Froelich said, after son Bayden and daughters
Caylee and Audrey began gushing over their gifts. “Seeing Santa was definitely their favorite part of tonight,” he laughed. “It’s good for morale. Anything that supports our troops and veterans is a positive.”

ast week I met Debbie, who supervises the janitorial teams at a number of facilities in downtown Seattle including everything from historic office buildings to modern skyscrapers housing an array of government agencies and officials — an imposing stretch of real estate and a huge responsibility. Debbie is a highly capable leader by any measure. She demonstrates the most amazing qualities of no-nonsense wisdom and common sense, delivered in a straightforward manner completely without pretense. Most books on leadership would be irrelevant in Debbie’s world because they focus so much on the pretensions, power struggles, and complex masks most of us experience at work. Neither Debbie nor her team worry about any of this because everyone on the team experiences the world differently from most people — they live in the unfiltered world of the present, simply being their honest selves. They are people with developmental conditions the rest of us would label “disabilities,” which is simply another way of saying “not like me.” And what do Debbie and her crew of janitors accomplish every night? They keep over 50 floors of critical government office space spotless. They handle all snow removal and de-icing of sidewalks. They clean the elevators, stairwells, restrooms, offices, lunchrooms, and ornamental

W
e don’t really have a budget problem — we have a jobs problem. When the economy was good, the budget was fine. So the question is this: How can we balance the budget while creating jobs? Budget cuts don’t create jobs, or fix your economy. If budget cuts created jobs, our state economy would be booming, since we cut $10 billion in spending. Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman rightly pointed out that states are wrong to cut jobs when the economy is weak. It only hurts you in the long run. Cuts are job killers, because state troopers, prison guards and teachers go to the unemployment line. I agree with the title of

The question is how to create jobs while balancing the budget. It all starts with jobs When I was knocking on doors last year, every cul-de-sac had an empty house and other people, who were still in their homes, often told me they were just waiting for
the call from the bank, waiting to be evicted because the banks had played casino with the economy and they were the losers. Even those folks who have jobs and are mowing the lawns of empty foreclosed houses in the cul-de-sac to prevent crime and keep property values up are concerned. They might be next. When I talk to small business owners, they say they need customers, customers and customers. Tax breaks do nothing when you you’re not making money.

n recent weeks, I have heard from administrators and health care workers who operate small hospitals in rural areas across the state, and from those within the 39th District, which includes United General Hospital in SedroWoolley, Valley General in Monroe, and Cascade Valley in Arlington. They are concerned with proposed cuts in the governor’s supplemental budget plan for reimbursement of care for Medicaid and Medicare patients. Many of these are small hospitals with 25 beds or less that operate in Rural Public Hospital Districts. Local taxpayers have approved these hospital taxing districts to ensure critical access to health care in Washington’s rural areas. Most of their budgets are at bare minimum and they rely on cost-based reim-

bursement from state and federal Medicaid/Medicare dollars. The governor’s proposal would slash $27.2 million for the remainder of the budget cycle (through June 30, 2013) from the Critical Access Hospital Program, which could affect 38 rural hospitals across the state. An example is United General in Sedro-Woolley, whose reductions would be more than $2.3 million per year. That’s in addition to more than $4.8 million of uncompensated care provided annually by
United General. Hospital officials say if the Legislature approves these reductions, it could force many rural hospitals to curtail health services or close altogether. It would also mean the loss of jobs in rural communities where the hospital is often one of the largest employers. Additionally, closure would create an influx of patients into other hospitals without the capacity to deal with the increase. Many may end up in emergency rooms, driving up health care costs and wiping out any savings the governor would hope to achieve from her proposal. Some are so despondent over the governor’s cuts they are willing to blindly jump into her plan to increase taxes by nearly a half-bilSEE SERVICES, PAGE 5

These will be privatesector jobs in every corner of the state, with an emphasis on hiring unemployed veterans, construction workers and young people — those hardest hit by the recession — to fix our schools, work in our forests and build projects that will benefit our state for generations.

Fixing up state hatcheries puts fish in our rivers and brings people to Monroe to buy steelhead gear. We will join this coalition in their work because jobs are our priority.

I asked hospital administrators and workers, please don’t swallow that bitter pill quite yet. We can fund our rural hospitals at the present levels within existing revenue without tax increases, without these onerous cuts, and without hurting funding for education, public safety and for protection of the state’s most vulnerable citizens. It is just a matter of setting the correct priorities in the budget — something the Legislature has failed to do. Here are some things to consider: In the remaining 19 months of the state’s fiscal calendar, state government is expected to take in nearly $2 billion more than the previous budget cycle — more than enough to cover the hospital reductions in question.

Dan Kristiansen While the governor is seeking to reduce education funding by another $411 million that she would “buy back� through her proposed sales tax increase, she has yet to reduce the budgets of several of her own agencies. For example, the total operating budgets of each of these departments have increased by the following amounts over the previous budget cycle: ■Agriculture — Up 8.2 percent; ■Natural Resources — Up 7.6 percent; ■Ecology — Up 10 percent; ■Department of Parks and Recreation — Up 12.2 percent; and ■Fish and Wildlife — Up 14.8 percent. When the Legislature is cutting education (the state’s paramount duty) and slashing funding for rural hospitals, while
increasing funding to save salmon and buy more park lands, I believe priorities are in the wrong order. During this special session and throughout the regular session which begins next month, I will be fighting to reset these priorities to ensure rural hospitals will not be cut short when it comes to life and death care. By establishing priorities of government and unleashing the power of the private sector to create jobs, we can balance the state budget and preserve these vital services without raising taxes on families when they can least afford it. Rep. Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, serves as chairman of the Washington House Republican Caucus and represents the 39th Legislative District.

Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin.

Weller Funeral Home provides holiday service for veterans BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@marysvilleglobe.com
ARLINGTON — Weller Funeral Home held its 11th annual holiday remembrance on Dec. 3 to honor the lives of veterans and loved ones in the Arlington and Darrington communities who have passed away but have not received a traditional service or remembrance. In Weller’s atrium stood a military memorial board of current and deceased vets whose families have been served. “The service gives us the opportunity to have a meaningful remembrance in the holidays and it helps families who could not have honors for their loved ones,� Weller Funeral Home Director Daniel Keane said. “Grief counseling is sensitive to those who grieve and need help to honor those who serve.� Weller has also created a Vietnam Memorial wall, modeled after the Washington, D.C. landmark, that traveled to Floral Hills Funeral Home in Lynnwood for three days last year. “Lots of families go through loved ones’ funerals in a cloud, and when the holidays come there aren’t always services,� said Remembrance Coordinator Mary Jane Harmon, who runs the memorial under Dignity Memorial, which provides funeral, cremation and cemetery services. “So many people in the Arlington and Darrington communities know each other, and we want to recognize vets who haven’t had the services they deserve.� Those in attendance at the service rose and removed non-service hats to observe a color guard presentation and join in a pledge of allegiance as Boy Scouts presented the flag at the front of the assembly. Peach Ice sang hymnals accompanied by Jackie Fuller on piano and Pastor Bryce McFadden took the podium, flanked by a Christmas tree bearing memorial ornaments to honor those who have served, to deliver a message of memory, healing and the difficulty of spending holidays with lost loved ones. “We all have something that ties us together, and that is loss and grief,� McFadden said. McFadden quoted Robert Frost as a means of helping families to cope with loss — “The best way out is through.� He spoke of family traditions on Christmas and the difficulty of carrying on without

From back left, boy scouts Donald Janda, Blake DiPietro and Kennedy Englert of Troop 92 were on hand to present the colors at Weller Funeral Home’s Holiday Remembrance on Dec. 3. loved ones who have always been there. “Resist the temptation to please everyone else,� McFadden said, noting the importance of personal wellness. “Rely on others. Remember loved ones. Revisit holidays with something new. Life changes, as must we. Rest physically and in the things that bring you comfort.� McFadden delivered a prayer in closing so that those in attendance and others may know that they do not walk alone during the holiday season. Fuller provided a musical interlude on a solitary piano including “Winter Wonderland,� “Angels We Have Heard on High,� “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen� and “Joy to the World�.
A film presentation, created by Keane and accompanied by “What Child is This,� displayed names and photographs of those lost since last year’s service. A lone trumpet sounded “Taps� after McFadden read a list of names of fallen veterans. The service concluded with a reception in which families of those lost received memorial ornaments from the Christmas tree at the front of the room. “The community bands together, as you can see in the video, to help people heal,� Weller Home General Manager Allen Ice said. “Sometimes it takes a long time to heal, and there isn’t always a chance for it in this culture.�

Eagles tip off season with comeback win BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtonttimes.com
ARLINGTON — Arlington basketball, back for a new season with five seniors after reaching the state tournament last year, hosted an upstart Marysville Getchell team in their season opener on Nov. 29. The Chargers came out swinging in the first half, but the more experienced Arlington squad found their basketball legs and took control late in the game for a 70-53 win. Getchell sprung out to an 15-6 lead to end the first quarter with sharp perimeter shooting to show the Arlington crowd that they meant business. Arlington came alive and flexed its muscles in the paint to pull within three at 18-15 with four and a half minutes left in the second
quarter. “We got confident, something we didn’t do at the (Garfield) jamboree (in Seattle),” said Eagle senior center DJ Smith of his team’s second-quarter awakening. The Eagles outscored Getchell 19-9 in the second quarter before Eagle junior guard Terry Dawn scored a go-ahead tip-in as time expired in the first half to give his team its first lead, 25-24. “We got the first-game jitters out of everyone,” Dawn said. “We tried really hard and brought it back. We came together. The confidence wasn’t high at the start, but we got it together.” The Chargers played stiff man-to-man defense in the second half, but time and again the Eagles burned Getchell with open three-
pointers. Arlington led 50-44 at the end of the third quarter, preventing the Chargers from driving to the basket and forcing oneshot possessions. The Eagles gained a distinct edge in defensive rebounding and outscored the Chargers 20-9 in the fourth, seizing a 57-49 lead with four minutes left in the game and keeping their zone immovable to cruise to a 70-53 win. Junior post Dan Boyden scored 21 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and recorded four assists. Senior Bo Brummel notched 14 points and 10 rebounds to stay strong in the post to keep Getchell off-balance throughout the game. Dawn scored 15 of his 29 points on three-pointers, snagged seven rebounds and dished out four assists.

Grapplers hit the mat at Lakewood Jamboree BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com
LAKEWOOD — Lakewood wrestling coach Tom O’Hara and Arlington coach Rick Iverson have their sport pinned. The Lakewood Jamboree on Nov. 30 included guests Arlington, Granite Falls, Darrington, Concrete and Burlington-Edison high
schools. Two mats divided Lakewood’s main gym for a more intense atmosphere and faster competition as parents, coaches and cheerleaders hooted, hollered and urged their wrestlers to success. Arlington wrestlers conducted challenge matches, in which a wrestler can take another’s place on the varsity unit by defeating him in
practice, on Nov. 29. Iverson said the matches are efficient and allow the athletes to take care of team positioning on their own. Lakewood founded its open-invite jamboree last year when O’Hara had trouble finding a preseason jamboree that had not been cancelled because of lack of participation or funds. “It was a really nice opener
for us,” Iverson said. “We’re young, so going into an informal atmosphere was good. There was tremendous parent support.” Iverson was hired before the young season to bring Arlington’s wrestling program to prominence in a time when, he said, the sport is undervalued and often cut because it’s considered a boys-only sport.

Arlington sophomore wrestler Brice Clariday pins his opponent at the Lakewood Jamboree on Nov. 30.
“Lakewood did a good job of putting it on,” Iverson said. “We could have gone down to Tacoma or up to Bellingham, but having it in Lakewood gave people the chance to see people they knew.” O’Hara said Lakewood’s wrestling program will be just fine, since meets attract just as many, if not more, people as a football or basketball game. A dozen kids tried out for wrestling this year with no experience, but they’ve adopted the sport, and more new wrestlers spread attention on campus and in the community. There is no pressure and no keeping score at this jamboree. What’s important in the event is that wrestlers from the schools in attendance match up with others according to skill level. According to O’Hara, the jamboree is about having a good time and getting a good start to the season “Some kids asked me, ‘Who won the tournament?’” O’Hara said. “I say, ‘Who knows? Who cares? Get out there and wrestle.’” The fast-paced, jumbled wrestling meet has short, three-minute matches — instead of five minutes, like
in the regular season — to make sure the wrestlers leave feeling good. “Is this about winning and losing?” Iverson asked his team in a meeting during the jamboree. “No,” answered the team. “It’s about respect. We’re competing against stateranked wrestlers,” said Iverson with a nod. Many wrestlers wanted to wrestle more than the two matches they were allowed, and many who were unsure of their interest at the start had become interested by the end. “Wrestling builds friendship,” O’Hara said. “Boys and girls coexist on the team and support each other. Girls will save this sport. They work just as hard if not harder than the boys.” It will take a couple of weeks to finalize wrestling rosters because programs are still in evaluative stages. “It’s about the joy of competition and wrestling,” O’Hara said. “It’s a huge benefit. Some kids are excited and others are scared to death. They don’t have to compete until they’re ready, but I’ve never had kids who didn’t compete all season.”

Sophomore forward Shantel St. Jean, sophomore midfielder Hailey Duitsman, junior midfielder Taylor Studzinski

New roundabout coming to Arlington
Holiday
ARLINGTON — It’s time for an extreme makeover, highway edition, at a busy intersection in Arlington. What is now a congested traffic signal at the intersection of State Routes 9 and 531 will soon be transformed into a modern roundabout. The Washington State Department of Transportation awarded contractor Interwest Construction Inc. of Burlington a $5 million contract to remodel the intersection into a roundabout starting in the spring of 2012. Every day, about 17,000 drivers rely on this intersection. And in five years, from 2004 through 2008, 28 collisions left 29 people injured. Most of the crashes and injuries happened when drivers tried to turn left. “The roundabout is going to make it a whole lot easier to turn left on and off the highway here,” said Dave Crisman, project engineer.

“Not to mention, keep everyone moving through the intersection with little or no delay. It’s truly going to be a total makeover when we’re done.” The new roundabout will reduce collisions and congestion at the intersection. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, roundabouts have been proven to significantly reduce the frequency and severity of collisions, reducing fatal collisions by 90 percent, injury collisions by 75 percent and total collisions by nearly 40 percent. WSDOT designed this roundabout to accommodate large trucks, buses and emergency response vehicles. More information and YouTube videos, about how to drive roundabouts, are available on the WSDOT roundabout website at www. wsdot.wa.gov/Safety/roundabouts/default.htm.

MARYSVILLE — In their service to help children in the community and beyond, Marysville Kiwanis Club members for decades have conducted their weekly meetings at the crack of dawn over breakfast. But not everyone is an early riser, so take heart, early commuters with a passion for community service, and others too busy to make a morning meeting, because Marysville Kiwanis is adding a night meeting once a month that may get your attention. Kiwanis currently meets at 7 a.m. every Tuesday in the Village Restaurant, located at 220 Ash Ave. The new evening meeting will be at 7 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday each month at the Village starting on Nov. 22. The Kiwanis Club is looking for men and women, 18 years of age and older, who want to become more involved in volunteerism and community service. “Kiwanis has done so much good for this community and its youth over the years, and its hands-on approach to helping is one of things that appeals to new

Whether you need to target your local market or want to cover the Puget Sound area,
Q: What is the “proper setting for my thermostat�?
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED!
A: One of the number one questions ever asked! Cheri Groves The old school of thought was to turn it way back at Comfort Advisor night to save money or “off� in some houses..brr. Well with today’s programmable thermostat’s we can stop taking the guess work out. If you are awake set it at 68 or 70 degrees. If you are asleep or away you can set it back to 55 degrees max but not below that. If you set it to far back your system has to work twice as hard to raise the temperature back up. Programmable thermostats are the way to go to maximize the savings you can get from your heating system. Most of your programmable thermostats have two to four settings on them so you can set them for comfort in your home that you like. The typical range is usually 65-70 degrees.

Kroeze brothers mark 60 years of preaching BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
EVERETT — Doctors Johnny and Billy Kroeze come from a family with deep roots in the region, but even as they’ve become well-known throughout the world, their priority has not been promoting their own names, but spreading the word of God. “There’s a lot of Kroezes and Kleins in Arlington,� Johnny Kroeze laughed, as he recalled how he and his brother Billy began preaching full-time 60 years ago, back when they were both still in their teens. For the past 40 of those years, the Kroezes have been on television, preaching the gospel on a program that airs in all 50 states and in Canada, just as their radio programs
have been broadcast in 100 nations. “When we started out, it was black-and-white and recorded on these big, bulky tapes,� Johnny Kroeze said. “We were on just one network back then.� The Kroeze brothers, who both married local ladies more than 50 years ago, have traveled with their wives almost as far as their programs have been broadcast. As a team, they’ve visited 50 nations, 49 states and 3,000 cities to minister to others. “There’s good people in all sorts of different churches, whether it’s Baptist, Pentecostal or Nazarene,� said Johnny Kroeze, whose South Everett Community Church is likewise an interdenominational church. “We’ve visited a lot of hospitals and asked if
we could pray for their people. One year, we went to 32 countries in four months. It gives you a different sense of other people’s needs. When you do something outside of yourself, something happens inside of you as well. Accepting Jesus Christ as your savior changes people.� While the Kroeze family has weathered its own storms during that time — including the 23 years that Johnny Kroeze’s wife, Kowanda, has battled with cancer, and the 51 years that his son, Johnny, has lived with autism — the elder Johnny Kroeze is just as concerned with the spiritual health of the country. “Our nation has gone through great changes, and a lot of our foundations have fallen away from immorality,� Kroeze said. “The music has
changed, but the old hymns are still good. We’ve seen the gospel replaced with other things, but our main emphasis is on the gospel, and the message that Jesus Christ is the only way into Heaven.� The Kroezes hope to reach even more people with what they see as an uplifting message.
“Even through dark places and tough times, there’s always hope,� Johnny Kroeze said. The Kroezes perform services at the South Everett Community Church, located at 1 W. Casino Rd. in Everett, at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sundays, where Bible classes are held at 9:30 a.m.
