ARLINGTON — Although the year’s first snowfall forced them to push back their plans, Marysville youths still took “a day on, not a day off ” to help out an Arlington woman in need, as part of a broader campaign to honor the life and works of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On Saturday, Jan. 28, half a dozen teen volunteers from the Marysville YMCA Minority Achievers Program visited the Arlington home of disabled senior Sandee Wynkoop, joining the more than 200 student and adult volunteers to take part in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service that was organized by the United Way of Snohomish County and had originally been scheduled for Monday, Jan. 16, on this year’s observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. For Jennifer Cabrera and Leticia Aparicio of the Bio-Med Academy at Marysville Getchell High School, this marked their second Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on behalf of Wynkoop, a 58-year-old who’s undergone multiple surgeries and stays in both hospitals and nursing homes as a result of her degenerative disc disease and osteoporosis since 2009. “My spine is basically crumbling,” Wynkoop said, as

Students compete in mock trial By KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The attorneys presenting their cases in Judge Fred Gillings’ courtroom at the Marysville Municipal Court on Thursday, Feb. 2, hadn’t even graduated from high school, but the professionalism and preparation they demonstrated earned them plaudits from not only Gillings, but also the jurors who heard their cases. Two teams of eighth-grade students from the 10th Street School in Marysville competed against opposing teams of ninth-graders from Archbishop Murphy High School in a YMCA Youth and Government Mock Trial.

Each team of attorneys included its own complement of student witnesses, and all of the students had spent at least the past couple of months memorizing their scripts from the practice cases that they would be presenting before both Gillings and a panel that included actual adult attorneys. Ximena West, an attorney for 20 years, complimented student attorneys Natasha Flitz and Alan White of 10th Street for their effective techniques at the close of the morning’s mock trial. “Natasha, you did great in the pretrial because you really knew SEE TRIAL, PAGE 2
