The Year In Review

A look back at some of the stories of 2011 MARYSVILLE — Residents of Marysville will remember 2011 for a variety of reasons.

Here are some of the stories, by publication date, that appeared on the pages of The Marysville Globe in 2011.

January 5 Larry Groom isn’t sure how much time he has left, but the school resource officer for the Tulalip Police Department wants to keep doing what he’s doing until his time is up. “I want to be the first cop in a walker,” laughed Groom, who was diagnosed a little more than a year ago with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease.” “I hope to work until I can’t.”

January 12 Marysville and Everett residents expressed their frustrations with ongoing odors in the area at a Jan. 5 meeting in the Marysville City Council Chambers that was intended to facilitate fact-finding for citizens, elected officials and regulatory agencies alike. State Rep. Hans Dunshee moderated the discussion between com-

munity members, including the Citizens for a Smell Free Marysville and Beyond, and representatives of the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency, the Snohomish County Health district and the state Department of Ecology.

January 19 Tears and laughter were abundant during the “Taste of Relay” Jan. 15, which marked the kickoff of the fundraising season for the 2011 Marysville/Tulalip Relay for Life.

January 26 This year’s Jet City Tattoo Expo packed the Orca Ballroom at the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino Jan. 23, as tattoo artists from across the country applied their ink to tattoo aficionados from throughout the Pacific Northwest.

February 2 Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring’s first “State of the City” address focused on the city of Marysville’s plans for long-term financial stability and some of the developments that its citizens can expect this year. Many attendees of the

Marysville Strawberry Festival Senior Royalty Princess Lauren Stallcup, Queen Louie Vital and Prince Erik Kundu are all smiles after the 2011 April Friesner Memorial Royalty Scholarship Pageant on Feb. 26.

Jan. 28 Business Before Hours, conducted by the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, reacted favorably to Nehring’s optimistic prognosis of Marysville’s progress and future.

February 9 Three years ago, Dave Vasconi was so morbidly obese that he could hardly get out of bed in the morning. “It was December of 2007 when I strained my lower back just from getting up,” said Vasconi, the community service officer for the Marysville Police Department. “I couldn’t even get my leg into my vehicle.”

Thanks to proper nutrition and exercise, Vasconi went on to lose 158 pounds.

February 16 At the beginning of the

Tulalip Tribal Board of Directors’ Feb. 10 meeting, Board member Don Hatch Jr. asked a group of students from Tulalip Elementary to take seats at the table in the center of the boardroom.

“The children are who we’re doing this for, so they should get some glory out of this.”

Hatch was referring to the Tribes’ decision to award $1.26 million for regional educational improvements to the Marysville School District.

February 23 The children of the Marysville community were among the beneficiaries of the Rotary Club of Marysville’s $32,000 in donations to local service organizations. Deirdre Kvangnes, Community

Service Board member for the Marysville Rotary Club, presented checks to representatives of half a dozen local groups on Feb. 16.

March 2 The Senior Royalty for this year’s Marysville Strawberry Festival will include not only a queen and a princess, but also a prince. Marysville Getchell High School junior Erik Kundu and senior Lauren Stallcup each received a scholarship of $3,500 as this year’s Senior Royalty Prince and Princess, respectively, while Getchell junior Louie Vital not only received the $5,000 scholarship as this year’s Senior Royalty Queen, but also received the $500 SEE 2011, PAGE 2

March 9 Area eighth-graders got a hands-on lesson on the importance of trees to the local environment, thanks to the city of Marysville and the Stilly-Snohomish Fisheries Enhancement Task Force. Cedarcrest Middle School science teacher Kirby Schaufler escorted 122 of his eighth-grade students to the Northpointe and Strawberry Fields Athletic parks in Marysville on March 1 and 2 as part of the Task Force’s Tree Connections program.

March 16 Drivers on State Route 529 will still be using the existing 85-year-old Ebey Slough Bridge between Marysville and Everett for a while yet, but its replacement recently reached another milestone in its construction progress.

“Feb. 15 was the end of the window we had to get the columns installed,” said Joe Rooney, chief inspector for the Northwest Region of the Washington State Department of Transportation. “From here until mid-May, they’re doing the structural work to get the piers ready for the girders.

The earliest we expect to get those girders is May 15.”

March 23 When Mar ysville Methodists traveled to Haiti, they found a country struggling with shocking poverty, but also one whose citizens still harbor hope. The eight members of the Marysville United Methodist Church who had taken a mission trip to Haiti from Feb. 27 through March 7 devoted the evening of March 17 to sharing their experiences with fellow church members.

March 30 Lakeshia and Dennis Drahos got married two months before Dennis joined the Navy six years ago, but this was their first full deployment as a Navy couple.

Petty Officer 1st Class Dennis Drahos Sr. has served

5IF "SMJOHUPO 5JNFT t 5IF .BSZTWJMMF (MPCF

on board the USS Abraham Lincoln for the past three years, and when the Lincoln pulled into Naval Station Everett on March 24 after a seven-month deployment, he and Lakeshia shared one of the first kisses coming off the brow, as she held ninemonth-old Dennis Jr. in her arms.

April 6 Although the morning’s rain brought with it a significantly reduced attendance, the enthusiasm of those who did turn out for the Walk MS at the Tulalip Amphitheatre wasn’t dampened on April 2.

April 13 Nine new exam rooms, including a dedicated procedure room, remained almost untouched as of April 7. According to Tamara Fitzpatrick, nurse manager for the Sea Mar Community Health Center in Marysville, that won’t last long. On April 7, Sea Mar celebrated the addition of 3,000 square feet to its Marysville clinic, which includes the exam rooms and three new offices.

April 20 What began as a student musical performance became a series of pleas on behalf of music in the Marysville School District. The 10th Street Middle School Jazz Band performed a number of songs for attendees of the MSD Board of Directors’ April 18 meeting, before band director Nathan Sackman urged the Board to support music programs within the district, in terms that would be echoed by parents, alumni and other community members who had no idea that Sackman planned to express sentiments that mirrored their own.

April 27 Thousands of people filled Jennings Memorial Park’s Rotary Ranch, April 23, as kids of all ages turned out to enjoy a rare day of sunshine and the city’s annual Easter egg hunt. “Although it’s still early, it looks like we could have 3,000 people here today,” said Jim Ballew, Parks and Recreation Director. “This is

a wonderful turnout by members of this community.”

May 4 Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. was quick to share credit with the surrounding community for the Tulalip Tribes’ prosperity in this year’s State of the Tribes address. Speaking to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on April 29, Sheldon praised Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers and her fellow Chamber members for being “on the leading edge” of innovation. Sheldon likewise lauded Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and his City Council for their partnership in joint economic and environmental projects.

May 11 “When people think of Marysville, they think of the Tulalip Tribes and the Native Indians,” said Jasbir Sandhu at the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Marysville, before laughing, “They don’t think of the other Indians that are here.”

Area followers of the Sikh faith converged on the temple to observe Vaisakhi, one of the most significant holidays of the Sikh calendar.

May 18 Members of the Marysville and Tulalip communities teamed up for the second year in a row to take part in a “RED Day,” this time for the Marysville Boys & Girls Club.

Last fall’s “RED Day” saw turnout from the Marysville office of Keller Williams Realty and the Tulalip Tribes’ Adult Education Services Division work to improve the grounds of the Tulalip Homeless Shelter, and on May 12 of this year, volunteers from both organizations improved the grounds and prepared the building of the Marysville Boys & Girls Club for a fresh coat of paint.

May 25 The Tulalip Resort Hotel’s Orca Ballroom was packed with more than 400 diners and auction bidders whose contributions will help the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club keep pace with the needs of the community’s youth.

Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr., who emceed this year’s event, noted that the annual auction has been going for 13 years, as long as he’s been on the Tulalip Tribal Council. He deemed the event’s regular attendees old friends.

June 1 While scores of American flags blew in the wind, more than 100 people crowded the north side of the Marysville Cemetery to honor fallen patriots at the annual Marysville American Legion Post 178 Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony, Monday, May 30. “This is a special day for anyone who is an American,” longtime Marysville resident and veteran Henry Stone said. “The (American) Legion does such a great job, as do the students from Marysville-Pilchuck High School. I am honored to be here.”

June 8 One local bank branch changed hands over the Memorial Day weekend, while another bank with two branches in the area is on its way toward a merger. Columbia State Bank assumed all the deposits of First Heritage Bank, whose Arlington branch reopened

on May 31 as a branch of Columbia State Bank. Also on May 31, the shareholders of Cascade Financial approved the merger of Cascade Bank, which has branches in Marysville and Smokey Point, with Opus Bank.

June 15 “This will be the first, last and only graduation of this type,” Marysville-Pilchuck High School Principal Andrew Frost said to the graduating class of 2011.

Frost wasn’t just speaking to the students of his own school on June 13, but he was also addressing the students of the Small Learning Communities of Marysville Getchell High School at the Everett Events Center.

The commencement ceremony not only marked the end of both sets of students’ high school careers, but also saw the first class to graduate from Marysville Getchell since its first classes began at the start of the 2010-11 school year.

June 22 In spite of gray skies and occasional rain, the final weekend of this year’s Marysville Strawberry Festival still drew crowds who were ready to get into the spirit of the annual event. June 18 marked the

Strawberry Festival’s zenith, starting with the Kiddies Parade from Totem Middle School to Comeford Park that kicked off at 6 p.m. Event organizer Bobbi Easley took the reins for the first time this year, and found herself running out of participant ribbons for its more than 150 entrants. That was followed by the Grand Parade and the fireworks display.

June 29 The Marysville School District’s commitment to energy efficiency has reaped dividends from the Snohomish County Public Utility District. PUD Commissioner Dave Aldrich attended the Marysville School Board’s June 20 meeting to present the school district with an oversized check for $82,659, an incentive for the energy efficiency features that were incorporated into the design of the Marysville Getchell High School campus.

Students volunteer for Day of Service SMOKEY POINT — Approximately 200 high school students from throughout Snohomish County are expected to participate in the third annual national Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Jan. 16.

The inter-generational celebration sends high school students who volunteer to the homes of seniors and people with disabilities, transforming the mission and teachings of King’s life into community service.

During the MLK Day of Service, these young volunteers will help make a real difference through hands-on work, including doing small yard chores and indoor cleaning projects that residents cannot do themselves. Teams will be led by Senior Corps or other adult volunteers.

The day will kick off with rallies in Marysville, Everett, Stanwood and Mukilteo, with the Marysville YMCA, located at 6420 60th Dr. NE, serving as the site for that city’s rally.

After that, volunteer teams will go to sites around the county, working until 2:30

p.m. at tasks such as dishwashing, laundry, washing windows, cleaning bathrooms, sweeping floors, mowing lawns, trimming bushes and weeding.

The MLK Day of Service in Snohomish County is a partnership between the United Way of Snohomish County, the YMCA, Catholic Community Services and Senior Corps.

If you’re a teen between the ages of 14-19, you can register online at or call United Way’s Youth United at 425-374-5526.

The United Way is a community impact organization that’s been serving Snohomish County for more than 70 years.

In addition to funding 102 programs through 39 agencies with a special focus on local health and human services, the United Way of Snohomish County supports a number of initiatives focused on early learning and education, financial stability for families, a youth program, North Sound 211 and an emerging initiative in survival English.

Santa Run collects for food bank ARLINGTON — Arlington’s annual Santa Run for 2011 ended on Dec. 16, with approximately 6,500 pounds of food and almost $900 in cash collected for the Arlington Community Food Bank.

The Arlington Santa Run is a 22-year-old community tradition that runs for a number of nights in December to bring Santa and a bit of holiday cheer to the otherwise dark and dreary nights, all the while

collecting food and monetary donations for the Arlington Community Food Bank.

Organized by the Arlington Firefighters Local No. 3728, this year’s Santa Run was 13 nights and covered over 40 road miles, although Santa and his elves probably walk much more than that. New decorations for Santa’s “sleigh� were donated by Arlington Hardware and Walmart. In 2011, volun-

teers from the Arlington Fire Department, local service clubs, city employees and their families, and countless citizens donated over 455 hours to the Santa Run itself, not including the additional time of preparing, weighing, and delivering the food to the Arlington Food Bank. “This is what Christmas and the Arlington Community is all about,� said, Fire Chief Bruce Stedman. “The Santa Run truly shows the commitment to

community service that the employees of the city of Arlington, as well as the residents and businesses of Arlington possess,� stated Arlington Firefighters Local President Dan Hargroves. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, citizens of Arlington, for your incredible generosity.�

On an annual basis, the Santa Run brings in Arlington Community Food Bank’s largest winter donation.

Fogdog Gallery moves to new location

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Claire Cundiff took a leap of faith when she opened Fogdog Gallery at 318 N. Olympic Ave. on July 1 of this year. “Since that time I have been met with nothing but love and support from my community,� Cundiff said. “Times have been hard for all, but I’ve watched more and more patrons come to support my business.�

Six months later, Cundiff decided she was ready to take the next step in the development of her art gal-

lery, when she met with her new landlord, and began preparations to move out of the Petite Sweet Bakery and into her own space. “This new space will allow me not only to expand my gallery, but also to make it possible to support my overall plan to make Fogdog a center of creativity,� Cundiff said. “The community will be able to look here for classes, performances and special events, including readings, live music and demonstra-

tions. If there is a creative need, I hope Fogdog can fill it.�

Cundiff offered nothing but praise for Joe and Sheri Rzeczkowski, co-owners of the Petite Sweet Bakery, whose kindness and support she credited with helping to sustain Fogdog Gallery to this day. “They will always have my support, whether I share space with them or not, and I ask that you continue to support them as well,� Cundiff said.

Fogdog Gallery will be moving to 233 N. Olympic Ave. early in January of 2012, and Cundiff will host its grand reopening on Feb. 4, during the Arlington Eagle Festival. “Here’s to the New Year and leaps of faith,� Cundiff said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank You, Marysville Dear Editor, My name is JoAnn Sewell.

I am the volunteer coordinator at the Marysville Community Food Bank. I just read your column, and couldn’t agree more. A few weeks before Thanksgiving we were starting to panic because our cupboards were getting bare. Then the food drives started, and even now, it brings tears to my eyes. The amazing generosity of our community is truly a blessing. There are so many people to thank I don’t even know where to begin. I can only say “Thank you, Marysville. You are the greatest people in the greatest community in the world.”

JoAnn Sewell Marysville

Protecting our children The outrage over the recent incidents of child abuse at two major, high profile university athletic departments continues to fill

the national print and electronic media.

The outrage is more than justified. What is just as outrageous is that such incidents are preventable.

And, prevention is a much better investment than the far more costly processes of intervention or prosecution. Families, schools, and communities need to understand that, to some extent, such abuse happens when children are not taught to protect themselves by saying No, getting away to a safe place and telling a trusted adult until they get the help they need.

As a nonprofit organization for 28 years, Open Door Theatre has been using live dramatic performances in schools to teach young children their safety rules so that they can be aware and on guard. Last school year, 4,360 children in Snohomish County attended Open Door Theatre performances at their public schools.

The dilemma is that funding for such performances has been impacted by budget challenges facing schools, SEE LETTERS, PAGE 5

The dogs among us W

e’ve owned dogs. The last was a Cock-apeke-a-poo our kids selected at an animal shelter, lo, those many years ago. And as usually happens, the kids grew up and moved on while the dog stayed. The little guy was a mutt, but such an affectionate mutt that “Mutt” wouldn’t do for a name, so we called him Mutty.

He was irreplaceable. When talking with him, he’d answer by masticating musical growls into syllables. “Hi, Mutty, what’s happening?” Ever responsive, he’d say, “Groo-wow-arrr-owr,” and thinking that needed explaining, he’d take a breath and continue, “ooohr-owee-uhh.” He kept guests in stitches by trading comments with them for minutes at a time.

How do you replace a dog like that? It’s impossible. Fifteen years later we still have a rug named Mutty’s Bed and a plastic bowl known as Mutty’s Dish.

But now we find ourselves surrounded by neighbor-dogs and, of course, their owners. When we became condo-dwellers we had no idea that so many emptynesters were turning to dogs to replace that measure of company one loses in retirement. These particular animals are scaled somewhat smaller than the dogs of suburbia, running about a third of a dog tall by three-eighths of a dog long. There are a few yappy sopranos among them but the condo-developer was big on sound-proofing and even those seem to quiet down when outside

OPINION BOB GRAEF tugging at leashes.

Much has been written about tiny dogs being snappy and yappy but we haven’t experienced that here — with one notable exception. When I stooped to give a neighbor’s Scottie a sniff of my hand, he had it for lunch. Five punctures and a tear. That owner allowed two more unsuspecting residents to offer hands and the Scottie, having enjoyed the flavor of mine, went to work on them.

Needless to say, the neighborhood wasn’t happy. The point of this story is to illustrate how far dog-owners will sometimes go for a pet. Rather than part with the nasty little beast, that owner packed up and moved.

Like the Scottie, most of the neighbor-dogs are high-bred beasts. After checking puppy prices it became clear that the most humble probably set its owner back something north of $600 and a few others likely topped $2,000. They visit doctors and groomers at least as often as their masters. If these owners fit a seasonal study, they dropped an average of $46 on Christmas presents for each pet as expression of material affection beyond throwing-sticks or balls of yarn.

This season’s total receipts for

chew-toys, pet beds, scratching posts, gourmet snacks and what have you totaled three quarters of a billion dollars.

Some people gave puppies for Christmas, which isn’t always a good idea. For starters, people bond better with pets if they have a hand in choosing them. This is important because it can have something to do with one’s enthusiasm for picking up steaming piles of doggy-do. If not careful thought out, puppy-givers can end up in charge of their wellmeaning gifts.

Small puppies arrive in twos or threes at most while big dogs routinely crank out litters of eight or more. It’s interesting that the two most popular breeds, the Yorkie and the Lab, are near opposite poles of the size spectrum. While prolific Lab puppies are relatively cheap, Yorkies and other toy-breeds that deliver only one or two pups per litter, sell for upwards of $2,000, which makes them a top target for dognappers.

Of course there are other considerations than price. Certain breeds are rated as the most gaseous, the biggest droolers and the clumsiest. Since those are big-dog distinctions, our development’s hamster-sized population largely escapes those particular defects.

But toy breeds often compensate by displaying a Napoleon complex. They try to rule their “masters” and it’s surprising how many SEE GRAEF, PAGE 5

Washington’s citizens deserve better

LETTERS FROM PAGE 4 counties, cities, parent organizations and foundations. Therefore, the number of performances and the number of children served by Open Door Theatre has been drastically reduced, leaving more children at risk.

So, in addition to being outraged at university coaches or other perpetrators, concerned citizens and organizations can step up and provide resources that allow organizations such as Open Door Theatre to deliver their message of safety and prevention so that fewer children will be victimized. About $10 provides the funding for one child to attend a performance in his or her own school. Not a bad investment.

Open Door Theatre can be reached at 425-3038783. Thank you for moving from outrage and fear to prevention.

Wayne Robertson, Ed. D. Vice President, Open Door Theatre Marysville

GUEST OPINION REP. DAN KRISTIANSEN Certainly I’m disappointed, but not surprised the Legislature kicked the can down the road once again. It has historically and repeatedly avoided facing reality — even when reality is staring it in the face.

For example, in 2007 when the state was enjoying a multibillion dollar revenue surplus, that would have been the time to set money aside for difficult times ahead. During an interview in March 2007 on TVW, I said, “Economists know that every 10 to 12 years, we’re going to go through a recession. Quite frankly, we are due for one in a short amount of time and we’ve got to be prepared. We need to be taking more aggressive steps to make sure we have good money sitting there.”

Instead, the Legislature ignored those warnings and spent all of the surplus. It was 20 months later the economy dipped into recession — and the state was ill-prepared.

Thanks for helping I would like to thank everyone who helped American Legion Post 76 Toys For Kids raise money throughout the year to help purchase Christmas gifts for the less fortunate children in the Arlington area.

During the year, TFK has many fundraisers and the Legion members and community really come together to ensure we have enough funds to purchase Christmas gifts for the kids. This year we spent $15,400 on gifts for 537 kids. We appreciate all the donations and the long volunteer hours put in during the course of the year.

I would like to thank Marysville K-Mart store manager, Dave Blumenstein, and his cashiers, Evelyn, Nancie, Alyssa and Mickail for a wonderful job of checking and stocking; Boy Scout Pack 92 for helping us get all the gifts upstairs; Brooster’s Restaurant for saving our shopping day breakfast reservations even though we were late

Since then, the Legislature has adopted patchwork fixes on budgets that evolve into deficits because majority party leaders refuse to accept economic realities and the state refuses to live within its means. The governor thinks a half-billion dollar state sales tax increase is the solution, but the Washington State Wire, an online Capitol news outlet, noted, “State spending is so far out of line with tax revenue that even if lawmakers pass a dilly of a tax increase this year, they’re going to be back again next year facing the same problem, and the next, and the next.” Without reforms, it said the state could be facing a budget deficit exceeding $7 billion by 2017.

When the Legislature meets in regular session beginning Jan. 9, it has a $1.5 billion budget problem remaining. Businesses and families sat down a long time ago and adjusted their budgets to economic realities. It’s time the Legislature does the same.

That means no more kicking the can down the road. It means setting spending priorities so that we fund education, public safety and protection of our state’s most vulnerable citizens, and abandon non-essential services and programs that have been a drag on the budget. It

and Sara Katanik of the Arlington Food Bank.

Thanks to Arlington Hardware, Afton Chapter OES, VWF Auxiliary and Cathy Marquez for their generous donations.

Thanks to Ken and Arlene Casperson for bringing their trailer and hauling all the gifts back to the legion, to Andrew and John Pederson for pushing all the carts and helping to fill the trailer, to Lloyd Ledbetter and Marv Jackson for helping us shop.

Thanks go out to Post 76, Squadron 76 and Auxiliary Unit 76 for their generous donations. Thanks to all Post 76 members and their guests who helped us throughout the year. Last but not least, the wonderful and hard working TFK Committee, Bill Lloyd, Judy Claxton, Beverly (Beaver) Mundale, Bobbie Granberg, Jo Savage-Wilson, Etta Melhart, Connie Sullivan, Coreen Trueblood, Laveta Brask, Janet West and Debbie Jackson.

Thank you for your dedication, hard work and many volunteer hours.

Barb Lloyd TFK Chairperson Arlington

also means focusing on privatesector job creation that will spur additional state revenue as people have incomes to spend more.

In 2010, after the majority party passed $800 million in tax increases that voters later repealed, a Seattle Times editorial injected a dose of common sense the Legislature could use today, saying, “The people and their legislators need to put further tax increases out of their minds. They need to reset government so that its appetite matches its revenue. The state must live within the revenue it has. Gov. Gary Locke did it seven years ago. He called it Priorities of Government and it worked.”

Washington’s citizens deserve better than a ducttape budget. The solution is for the Legislature to return to a budget based on Priorities of Government without tax increases — a budget that is sustainable and forces the state to do what the rest of us must — to live within its means.

Rep. Dan Kristiansen, represents the 39th Legislative District.

GRAEF FROM PAGE 4 owners let that happen.

Suppose you want a dog in your life but you have to do it on a budget. To own a lovable little mutt like Mutty, you’ll shell out about $100 to the shelter, $5-$7 per month for food and the usual kit of stuff that includes leash, collar, bowls, crate, and tags that can run upwards of $100. A yearly stop at the vet for a check-up and booster shots can cost another $130. Grooming runs as much or as little as one can afford.

One high-spender said owners should plan to spend $1,000 during a pup’s first year of life.

He went on to recommend setting aside another $1,000 for pet emergencies and at least $250 for obedience classes. Really big expenses come when one’s love for a pet bumps into canine health issues or injuries. Potential costs in the range of $3,000 for pet Chemo and $1,500 for an MRI drive some owners to purchase health insurance. So far, only 3 percent of all dogs are covered at premiums ranging between $20 and $90 per month.

It’s a new world out there, not like the old days when kids sold mongrel puppies from cardboard boxes in front of Safeway and Dad dispatched ailing pets with his 22 behind the barn.

hen lawmakers arrived Nov. 28 at the state Capitol for a special session, many of my fellow legislators and I were hopeful we could vote within the first couple days on a solution that would close a $2 billion state operating budget gap without raising taxes — and then go home, thus saving taxpayers the expense of an extended session.

To our dismay, the majority party had no plan ready — even 67 days after Gov. Gregoire announced a special session.

It took another 16 days before a plan emerged — and then the measure (House Bill 2058) was only a partial solution that reduced the budget by less than $480 million. Most disappointing, there were no reforms to prioritize spending in the state budget, as we had proposed.

Republican Leader Richard DeBolt described it this way during a speech on the House floor: “This is something we could have done in a day. This is not a plan. This is not a grand design. This is one of those duct-tape fixes.”

I compare it to making the minimum payment on a credit card. The balance on the credit card doesn’t go away and the expenses continue to grow.

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion.

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 Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that the whole point of religion? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about it. 360-939-2080

Sports In Review

A look back at some of the stories of 2011

BY JAKE MCNEAL jmcneal@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville sports rose to new levels in 2011.

The launching of Marysville Getchell varsity sports added a new competitive rivalry between friends and former classmates.

Lakewood elevated its competition to show the community what a small school can do. MarysvillePilchuck stayed strong. Also, 2011 proved that a team made of regional rivals can come together to dominate a sport year after year.

Tomahawk wrestlers contend at State Marysville-Pilchuck wrestlers, soon to split with the inception of Marysville Getchell wrestling in the fall of 2011, knew that this was the year to make an impact.

Brandon Blevins, who beefed up to 135 pounds from 125 the year before, was only Tomahawk wrestler who had gone to State the year before. Marcus Haughian beefed up to 189 pounds and Demitri Robinson, who joined the Tomahawks after winning the 103-pound class 1B championship at Tulalip Heritage High School, beefed up to 152 pounds.

The Tommies started out 4-0 entering Winter Break and earned a record eight pins against Cascade.

They won the Paul Reiman Invitational and beat Arlington for the first time in three years to improve to 3-1 in the conference and 12-2 overall. M-P sent three wrestlers to Mat Classic XXII where Brian Donaldson took fifth

in the 140-pound bracket. Of the six Tomahawks who made it to State, Haughian earned sixth place and Blevins took eighth.

Lakewood girls basketball defies expectation, reaches Districts Lakewood’s girls were predicted to finish last of the eight teams in Cascade Conference, but they went 8-6, 9-12 overall to take third place in the conference. The Cougars started out 5-5 after beating Granite Falls and moving into a tie with the Tigers for third place. Lakewood pulled into a tie for second place in the conference just three games later, against Coupeville.

Burlington-Edison sent the Cougars to the consolation bracket in first round of Districts by taking a 75-27 victory, before Mount Baker ousted the Cougars, 48-27, in the Cougars’ first consolation game.

Tomahawk softball reaches State championship M-P softball featured six returning all-league players. M-P had earned a State playoff berth 23 times since 1980, including 11 straight visits from 1992 to 2001 and a third-place finish in 1997.

Returning eight seniors from the 2010 team propelled the Tomahawks to the 4A State Tournament as the second seed from District 1, the highest seed in M-P softball history, with a 23-4 overall record.

The Tomahawks beat Kentlake 5-3 in first round, knocked out

File Photo

M-P senior Riley Fritz, left, throws a 2-2 pitch in the second inning of the March 23 game against Lake Stevens. Fritz threw a six-inning shutout, striking out 10.

Richland 8-3 in the second and powered through Woodinville 7-2 in the semifinals. M-P outscored their tournament opposition, 20-9, but lost a 1-0 nail-biter to Walla Walla, in which they left the bases loaded in their final atbat, at Merkel Sports Complex in Spokane.

Four-year letterman Megan Rollings batted .583 in tourna-

ment and went 6-for-6 with two home runs, three doubles and five RBIs in the first two games.

Lakewood girls golf wins Cascade Conference Lady Cougars golf beat King’s by a stroke and scored enough points just in time to jump from third to first in the league standings.

Senior Kayley Mizell finished second in the league tourney and second in the league standings for the season. Her record-setting score of 90 was best league championship score ever for a Lakewood golfer.

Mizell was complemented by senior co-captain Jessica Spears, juniors Kaylee Diggs and Chelsea Blackwood and two sophomores, Hannah Eneix and Nina Forsell.

Washington Rush win seventh straight National Cup Championship

Extreme heat in Boise, Idaho could not stop the Rush from winning their seventh consecutive soccer championship that capped a 17-2-2 year and a 13-game win streak. The Rush defense gave up only one goal in games against Rochester FC (6-0), Platinum FC (2-1) and Storm FC (1-0) before the championship game, and only

surrendered 14 goals in 21 games all season.

The team included players from Marysville-Pilchuck, Arlington, Jackson, Kamiak, Lake Stevens and Archbishop Murphy high schools, including M-P’s Becca Lentz and Arlington’s Sadie Hitsky.

Lakewood’s Scott takes first place in long jump at State Five months ago, Lakewood senior Andre Scott found himself lying on the side of a mountain writhing in pain following an illfated snowboard trick. And the only thing coursing through his mind was whether or not his final track and field season had come to a pre-mature end.

Luckily for him, it hadn’t. Scott went on to have his best year in four uncertain track and field seasons. He capped it off by capturing the state title in the long jump at the Class 2A State Track and Field Championships, held May 26-28, at Mount Tahoma High School.

Scott’s winning jump measured 22-feet, 5-inches, a few inches shy of his personal best of 22-10, which he set a week earlier at Districts.

cost-saving steps and meetings with parents to find a way to cut net costs in half.

Football, girls soccer and volleyball celebrated inaugural seasons in the fall.

MG hired head football coach Davis Lura, previously a West Seattle High School coach and Ballard and Mountlake Terrace assistant. Lura graduated from Stanwood High graduate and received college degrees while playing football at Central Washington University. Wayne Nash was hired as the girls soccer coach. Nash co-coached girls soccer at Jefferson High School in Federal Way and assists Cascade High boys soccer. Mindy Staudinger, a multi-year all-conference athlete at M-PHS, who later starred at Montana State University, became MGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volleyball coach. M-P swim and dive coach Jaci LeGore became MGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach as well.

Getchell senior cross country runner Rachael Lefstad, who ran as a Tomahawk last year, set the bar for success by returning to the state tournament for the first time since going as a freshman in 2009.

Lakewood football makes it to State quarterfinals Cougar football enjoyed its first conference championship in 17 years after going 1-6 in the conference in 2009 and 5-2 in 2010. A 6-1 mark and a 26-22 homecoming win against Archbishop Thomas Murphy, the first time the Cougars had ever beaten them, made all the difference as it gave the Cougars the head-to-head tiebreaker when Murphy finished the season with the same record.

Lakewood beat South Whidbey 34-7 in the final game of season to share Cascade Conference championship with ATM. The Cougars took revenge on Burlington-Edison, who had knocked Lakewood out of the playoffs in 2010, trouncing them 55-0 and earning the No. 1 District 1 seed in 2A state tournament.

Lakewood beat Lindbergh 43-13 in first round of State to become Lakewoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firstever 10-win football team.

The dream season came to an end when W.F. West ran over the Cougars 33-18 at Quil Ceda Stadium.

2011 FROM PAGE 2 was no exception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Outer Courtâ&#x20AC;? returned to the parking lot of the Carabinieri Bar drive-through and walk-up stand for the ninth consecutive year on July 1.

July 13 For the Tulalip Tribes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a means of maintaining not only their lands, but also their culture. Precision Thinning began grooming 88 acres of two 28-year-old stands of Douglas Fir trees on the Tulalip Tribes reservation in late June, thinning them from an average of 400 down to 160 trees per acre. The Tribes aim not only to foster healthier trees and a richer ecosystem, but also to provide their peoples with places to forage and hunt, which are important parts of their heritage.

July 20 Those looking to acquire medicinal marijuana in Marysville have a long wait ahead of them. The Marysville City Council voted unanimously on July 11 to impose a six-month interim moratorium on any applications or activities by medicinal marijuana dispensaries or collective gardens within the city limits, after a public hearing at that same Council meeting which drew testimony from the owner of a collective garden in the Puget Sound region.

July 27 By late next year, area residents should expect to have a new option in health care available to them. The Everett Clinic broke ground on its planned two-story,

60,000-square-foot, $24 million facility north of 172nd Street NE and west of I-5 on July 21, as Everett Clinic Chief Operating Officer Mark Mantei explained that the 3.6acre site would serve as the grounds for an even bigger building than their branch in Smokey Point, hosting a broader cross-section of health care services than any Everett Clinic outside of their main offices in Everett itself.

August 3 It was a great day for a car show, especially one supporting the Susan G. Komen â&#x20AC;&#x153;3 Day for the Cureâ&#x20AC;? breast cancer research fundraising walk this fall. The Kumon Math and Reading Centersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Marysville branch hosted the event at their new location on Delta Avenue, while their event co-sponsors, Fenders and Fins Inc., drew more than a dozen classic car owners to the site after putting out the call to their clientele, but in spite of the bright, warm weather on July 30 that finally felt like summer, the turnout was sparser than the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizers had hoped for.

August 10 According to Tulalip Tribal Board members, the plot of land just north of the existing Quil Ceda Village and just south of the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino has sat empty for years because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for just the right new development.

As Tribal members officially broke ground on the site with members of the Cabelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chain of hunting, fishing and outdoor supplies stores on Aug. 2, they agreed that Cabelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the right choice, for Quil Ceda Village and beyond.

August 17 Marysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual street fair, HomeGrown, benefited from pleasant weather during its two days as visitors from throughout North Snohomish County took part as both shoppers and sellers.

Marysville residents Cindy Moll and Shalyn Olsen didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have far to travel to stop by at Third Street on Aug. 12 and 13. It was Olsenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third year of browsing and occasionally buying wares, and while Moll has attended HomeGrown for five years.

August 24 For the members of the Tulalip Tribes, the exhibits of the Hibulb Cultural Center are not dry relics from distant times, but vital items of personal significance that keep the memories of their families and ancestors alive as their culture moves forward into the future.

When the Center opened to Tulalip Tribal members and select guests on Aug. 19, one day before opening to the general public, Tribal member Jean Morris was excited to use its touchscreen computers to map out the roots of her family tree, as she identified Henry Paul and Amelia Jackson as among her ancestors.

August 31 Since other Marysville schools have made campus cleanups part of their backto-school preparations, the students, staff and parents of Kellogg Marsh Elementary decided to follow suit for the first time this year and benefited from some genuinely summery weather while they were doing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drive in the back of this building every

September 7 Minutes after its official ribbon-cutting ceremony, area youths were already making themselves at home in the Marysville YMCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Youth Development Center.

The 3,400-square-foot building that once served as the home for the Marysville Community Food Bank now houses program space for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ACT!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actively Changing Togetherâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; youth obesity

program and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exercise and Thriveâ&#x20AC;? cancer survivorship program, but on Aug. 31, it was the Youth Development Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer lab and teen recreation features that attracted the most attention from its young patrons.

September 14 It was a day of firsts in many ways for many Marysville parents. The first day of the 2011-12 school year for the Marysville School District also marked the first year that the students of Tulalip Elementary went to the Quil Ceda Elementary school building.

September 21 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.

September 28 Between Sept. 23 and 24, close to 100 volunteers showed up at Harborview Park in southern Marysville to help get the local ecosystem going again, even though most of them donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live or work in town. The nearly 60 volunteers from Philips Healthcare, the Everett YMCA and the Sno-Isle Libraries who turned out on Friday, Sept. 23, represented the start of the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project. They and their fellow volunteers on Saturday, Sept.

24, planted more than 850 native trees and shrubs on eight-tenths of an acre on the eastern side of the Qwuloolt Estuary, but over the course of the next 15 months the restoration project plans to conduct such plantings on 10 acres of territory around the marsh.

October 5 In spite of the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gray skies and slight drizzle, the Roy Robinson Chevrolet, Subaru and RV Center in Tulalip drew hundreds of children on Oct. 1 for their first â&#x20AC;&#x153;Child Safety Day.â&#x20AC;?

Families took advantage of the free â&#x20AC;&#x153;DNAâ&#x20AC;? biometric fingerprinting and identification kits that were the centerpiece of the day, and obtained them for a total of 130 kids.

Parks, Scouts team up to recycle trees MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Want to recycle your Christmas tree? Marysville Parks and Recreation Department and Marysville-area Boy Scout troops can help.

When the holidays are over and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to take down the tree, Marysville Parks and Boy Scouts encourage you to recycle your tree by leaving it at curbside for pickup. You will help Scouts raise funds for their activities, and give your tree new life as recycled mulch and chips that City crews will use at various local parks and trails.

Boy Scouts with Troops 80, 81, 82, 84 and 419 in Marysville will pick up your tree between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7 only.

Please have your tree at curbside by 8 a.m.

If you have not already received one, look for a donation envelope at your door between now and prior to the tree pickup date. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to have your green tree collected (no flocking or tinsel allowed), leave it at the curb the night before pickup. Scouts will deliver it to Jennings Memorial Park, 6915 Armar Road. Donations are optional.

If you prefer, you can also bring your tree directly to Jennings Park. For more information about this program call the Marysville Parks Office at 360-3638400.

If Scouts miss a tree on the pickup date, residents may call the program director at 360-659-8878 and it will be picked up.

Roy Lyle Markson November 30, 1925 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; December 23, 2011 Roy was born November 30, 1925 in a Pioneer home in Bryant, WA. Roy was the sixth child of Louie and Addie Markson, who have all preceded him in death.

Roy joined the Navy when he was 17 and served on the famed destroyer the USS John Rogers during WWII. In 1949 Roy married Mary Jean Warren in Arlington, WA. They had five daughters, losing two of them as infants.

He logged in Forks, WA then worked at the Monroe Reformatory for seven years.

Roy and Jean moved to Salem, OR in 1958 where he was asked

by PJ Squire to come as a training officer and select a staff for the new Oregon State Correctional Institution.

After making Captain in 1968, Roy continued his education

where he was a JCI Senator #6794, taught a Dale Carnegie Course, was a member of Toast masters and instructed Judo and Firearm classes.

He is survived by his wife Jeannie of 62 years, his daughters Melody Brooks (Clyde), Kim Larsen (Tim) and Tari Harding.

He was proud of his grandchildren Rachelle, Scott, Jessica, Cooper, Trevor, Grant, Jamie, Logan, Garrett, Brock and his 9 great grand children.

Roy will stick around until Jean is ready to join him. They will then depart for their final resting place in Arlington, WA, where they will join their two infant daughters.

A memorial service was held at 1 pm on Saturday, December 31, 2011 at Virgil T. Golden Funeral Service in Salem.

Suspect arrested in burglaries Marysville University registration begins

ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At approximately 2:55 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 27, Arlington Police responded to a 911 call from an employee at the Dominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza after a delivery driver from the business found a man inside the restaurant attempting to cut into the safe.

The suspect fled the scene on foot but was detained a short time later by a Stillaguamish Tribal police officer who was patrolling

nearby.

Investigators believe that the suspect had gained access to Dominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza by entering an adjacent vacant store front and kicking in the drywall separating the businesses. In a thorough search of the business complex, police found entry had been made to the Las Coronas restaurant through similar means.

The suspect, a 48-year-old Seattle man, was booked into

Snohomish County Jail on one count of burglary in the 2nd degree. Burglary in the second degree is a class B felony which is punishable by up to ten years in a state correctional institution and/ or a $20,000 fine.

Arlington Police were assisted in the initial investigation by officers from the Marysville and Stillaguamish Tribal police departments.

Citizens are invited to sign up for an exciting free Winter 2012 Marysville University class: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Law & Order: An Inside Look at Marysvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Criminal Justice System.â&#x20AC;?

The class is scheduled for 6:30-9 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 18. For the full effect, the class will be held in the Marysville Municipal Court at 1015 State Ave. The Marysville court also hears cases for the cities of Arlington and Lake Stevens.

While this course will appeal to citizens interested in gaining better firsthand knowledge of the many services and programs provided by the court, it is also a great class for students and others interested in a career in law.

Speakers will include Municipal Court Judges Fred Gillings and Lorrie Towers, Court Administrator

Suzi Elsner and Prosecuting Attorney Jennifer Millett. The night will end with an optional tour of the courthouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;MU provides an informal classroom-style forum that brings people from the community together to gain a better understanding of how their local government functions, inspires them to become part of the solution-seeking process, and informs them about City programs, services and projects,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Jon Nehring.

Free refreshments will be available. Classes are videotaped, and will be shown on Marysville Cable Access TV 21 (Comcast) and TV 25 (Frontier) at dates to be announced later.

Please call City Hall at 360-3638091 by Jan. 11 to reserve your seat, or email Executive Asst. Lynn Schroeder at lschroeder@marysvillewa.gov. Be sure to include name, phone, address and email address. For more information contact Community Information Officer Doug Buell at 360-3638086 or email dbuell@marysvillewa.gov.

2011 FROM PAGE 10 weekends instead of three this year for our pumpkin patch,” Marysville Rotary Past President Gayl Spilman said of the event, which kicked off on Oct. 8 and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, through Halloween, Oct. 31.

October 19 A proclamation by Marysville’s mayor kicked off a full week of community service by local DECA students.

At the Oct. 10 Marysville City Council meeting, Mayor Jon Nehring designated Oct. 9-15 “DECA Week,” with half a dozen Marysville-Pilchuck High School DECA students in attendance, before 16 DECA students descended upon the Marysville Community Food Bank the next day, Oct. 11, to help the food bank’s volunteers sort and dispense food items to their clients.

October 26 Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and his challenger, Kelly Wright, argued over many of the same issues during two separate debates. The two faced off at the Oct. 19 “OUR Marysville” mayoral candidates forum and the Oct. 21 Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce mayoral and City Council candidates forum.

November 2 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 wished to attend, was held on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. in the Marysville Getchell High School gymnasium.

November 9 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.

November 16 The Marysville community conducted so many commemorations of Veterans Day that it almost qualified as “Veterans Week.” To accommodate the closing of schools on its observance, Shoultes Elementary students conducted its Veterans Day assembly one day early, on Nov. 10, during which the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC paraded the colors. On Nov. 11, Veterans Day itself, Marysville American Legion Post 178 not only invited area veterans to its free chili feed, but also dedicated its bright red mailbox to collect worn-out American flags for proper disposal throughout the year.

Director Dell Deierling estimated that as many as 300 families might have received Thanksgiving food baskets, which were distributed by close to 100 volunteer workers during the three hours that the food bank was open to serve them on Friday, Nov. 18.

November 30 A Nov. 22 meeting between Marysville School District staff and community members drew not only Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, but also state Senator Nick Harper and state representatives Mike Sells and John McCoy, as MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland made it clear how Marysville schools would be impacted by proposed state cuts to levy equalization funds. “It would affect us two to three times more than the rest of the state,” said Nyland, who explained that while property-rich school districts would lose less than $200 per student, propertypoor districts like Marysville stand to lose between $400 and $500 per student. “It would be the equivalent of double-levy failures.”

Dec. 7 While the evening’s public hearing yielded no input, not all of the Marysville City Council members agreed on the proposed city budget and property tax levies for 2012 during their Nov. 28 meeting. The Council’s votes on the ordinances for the EMS tax and the amendment of Marysville Municipal Code relating to the utility tax on telephone services were both unanimous 7-0, but Council member Jeff Seibert, Lee Phillips and Jeff Vaughan voted against the majority on the ordinance for the regular tax. By a vote of 4-3, the Council levied a 1 percent increase on the regular tax, rather than banking that

Still, it was no small number of siblings, parents, spouses and other loved ones who marked the final departure of USS Abraham Lincoln from Naval Station Everett by

braving the cold rain to see the ship pull out of port on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 7.

Dec. 21 The Marysville City Council voted unanimously to extend the moratorium into June of 2012, after Marysville City Attorney Grant Weed warned of potential confusion in interpreting the existing laws regulating medical marijuana, as well as conflicts that could arise between municipal, state and federal laws on the subject.

three days of Christmas basket distribution were already on track to meet or exceed the previous year’s totals by Tuesday, Dec. 20, as volunteers checked in 87 clients during the first 40 minutes of the event’s second day. “We get a lot more people during the holidays who are able to take care of themselves through the rest of the year, but when this season comes around they find themselves asking whether they can get presents for their kids or whether they want to eat for the month,” Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling said.
