Father/Daughter Dances draw record crowds

MARYSVILLE — Even though most of this year’s attendees had already taken part in the event at least once before, the city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Department’s seventh annual Father/ Daughter Dances drew a record total crowd of 836 for its four dances, two on Feb. 4 and two on Feb. 11.

Clear Image Photography of Marysville once again provided portraits of the dads and daughters dressed in their finest on the eve of Valentine’s Day, while Seattle DJ Canon Snyder took pride in having provided the music and taught the dance moves for all seven years of the Father/Daughter Dances.

“We love to find ways to support local communities, and this community gets so into this event,” said Snyder, who arrived with his wife. “We can take care of people while enjoying ourselves at the same time. It took a few years for us

to convince the dads they could learn the dances we were teaching without them looking dorky, but they’ve gotten into it.”

“John Travolta does a pretty good job at what he does, so I think I’ll let him keep it,” laughed Jeff Ostreim, after he and daughters Makayla, 6, and Abby, 4, learned Snyder’s “John Travolta” line dance to the tune of “Staying Alive” during their third year at the Father/ Daughter Dance. “It’s nice to have a special date with my two little princesses, though,” Ostreim added, after his daughters were named princesses of their dance through a raffle drawing.

Maryke Burgess and Andrea Kingsford of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department explained that they were able to beat last year’s estimated attendance total of approximately 800 by adding more dance slots, since the only reason they didn’t have more See DANCE, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, WA-02, took the time on Monday, Feb. 13, to visit the site of one of the Puget Sound and Adjacent Waters Restoration Projects that his support helped make possible, right in south Marysville.

The Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project in Marysville will be sharing $2 million in funding from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the Seahurst Beach Restoration Project in Burien.

In the weeks prior to

his visit, Larsen had spoken with Jo-Ellen Darcy, assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works, to emphasize the importance of the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project, as well as the degree of the community’s continued commitment to it. Larsen had then contacted Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring to inform him of the good news personally.

“The fact that this is only one of two such Army Corps of Engineers projects within the state shows how important it really is,” Larsen said.

Larsen met with a num-

ber of representatives of the city of Marysville and the Tulalip Tribes to discuss the progress of the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project, which Tulalip Tribal Board Vice Chair Glen Gobin recalled had started in 1996, the same year that he began his first term on the Tulalip Tribal Board of Directors.

Gobin and Nehring were but the first two of many to thank Larsen for his role in securing funding for the 360-acre project, between the city of Marysville’s wastewater treatment plant See LARSEN, PAGE 2

DANCE FROM PAGE 1 dads and daughters at this year’s event was because it had sold out, just like every previous year.

“More than 50 percent of our signups, and maybe even as many as 70 percent, were online this year,” Kingsford said. “The snowstorm didn’t slow us down at all. We had to open our doors early to accommodate all the folks who were already lining up for photos, and we saw our first

arrival by limo this year. We even had our youngest-ever dancer, at 6 months old.”

At 6 months, Colbie Livingston’s “dancing” mostly consisted of being carried by dad Steve, who had attended last year’s Father/ Daughter Dance with his other daughter Emmy, who returned at 2 years old this year with her grandfather in tow as well.

“It’s so much fun,” Steve Livingston said. “The chicken dance is Emmy’s favorite.”

“The chicken dance is fun, but it’s sort of hard,” said

Gabrielle Olson, a 10-yearold who’s been attending the Father/Daughter Dances with dad Scott since she was 5 years old. “You have to run around in the dark and find your dad. My favorite part is just spending time with my dad.”

“You kind of know what you’re getting into with the dances,” Scott Olson laughed. “It makes for a long night, but when I see the glow on her face, I know how special this is. She looks forward to it all year.”

Kingsford reported that at least one dad described

the event as “better than Christmas,” for which Burgess thanked the event’s sponsors and the community as a whole for supporting it.

“Our sponsors have really verbalized the economic

impact of this event on their businesses,” Burgess said. “Bob’s Burgers and Brew has told us that they’ve had to schedule extra staff on these dance nights, and even the businesses that don’t sponsor

it still see a positive impact from it, such as floral shops.

As a city, we love building relationships between people, and it doesn’t get any more special than the bonds between dads and their daughters.”

While Gobin cited the importance of restoring the tidal marsh that existed prior to farming, which will aid in regional salmon recovery by restoring habitat for juvenile salmon, his contention that the restoration work itself will bring jobs to the area dovetailed with Nehring’s belief that the restored estuary will generate recreational interest.

Kurt Nelson, project manager with the Tulalip Tribes, credited the city’s Shoreline Master Program with making the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project possible, and joined Larsen in pointing out that the local community had already generated the $2 million required to qualify for matching funds from the Army Corps of Engineers.

“The Corps can spend up to 65 percent of the project’s cost,” said Nelson, who also echoed Larsen’s observation that having this funding included in the Army Corps of Engineers’ work plan for fiscal year 2012 means that its construction work will commence this year. “The Corps has reallocated money that it had rescinded last year.”

Nelson further explained that 80 percent of the existing estuary is no longer accessible to salmon, and that even making it more accessible by 10 percent could make a significant difference. To that end, this project will see the estuary’s levies breached and set back, its channels restored and native flora replanted, which should also increase tidal habitats for waterfowl

and shorebirds. Levies that were built in 1915 will be replaced and raised from 12-13 feet in elevation to 15 feet in elevation, to compensate for global warming. The estuary’s main outlet will also be shifted to counteract the erosion that 3D modeling has indicated could occur near the wastewater treatment plant.

“We’re sealing three of the four tidal gates,” Nelson said. “The salmon only have a window of access through the tidal gates if the tide is low enough. I want them to have much freer access.”

“This is considered one of the top salmon recovery sites in the state,” city of Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima said.

“It’s the second largest restoration in the Puget Sound,” said Josh Meidav, restoration ecologist for the Tulalip Tribes. “Its fishery benefit is higher than Nisqually.”

Larsen acknowledged that the Seahurst Beach Restoration Project in Burien would receive at least some portion of the $2 million in funding, but promised he would continue to speak on behalf of the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project.

Who needs CT buses?

ow necessary is public transportation? If you flunk your vision test when applying for a driver’s license, absolutely necessary. If you’re a student commuting from affordable housing to college, very essential. If driving a private car isn’t an option for any of a hundred other reasons, you need buses.

Community Transit is set for a new round of service changes beginning the 20th of February. As always, budget-conscious changes hit low-ridership routes hardest so that high density routes might be served better. To see how North County’s routes are affected, check CT’s route book at any Sno-Isle library branch.

Funding of public transportation is all screwed up. Bus systems must ante up one dollar for every federal dollar while the highway agency that supports car-commuters puts up only 25 cents. Federal money is earmarked for new buses only and can’t be used to cover expenses though much of the recent pinch resulted from inflated fuel costs, medical coverage and maintenance.

KOMO jolted riders in January of 2010 by announcing that CT was threatening massive changes including fare hikes and service cuts. With tax-based support in jeopardy, CT was facing an $11 million shortfall.

Bus budgeteers proposed eliminating Sunday service, cutting selected routes and charging an additional 25 cents per ticket, all effective in June. Ouch.

When June came, CT slashed service by 20 percent, or 80,000 hours of bus service. Evening hours were chopped to hold onto hightraffic commuter routes. Each cut hurt riders, especially people living near the fringes of bus service. Rural service felt the axe first.

Cuts to service moved forward on the first day of September. Riders braced themselves for longer waits and fewer trips. Others were left to ponder how to get from Point A

to Point B when Point A or Point B had disappeared from CT’s map.

While population soared, regional bus service regressed to what it was eight years before.

Local bus service was cut because Community Transit lacked the funds to retain all of its routes and schedules. Conventional thinking says the transit agency must live within its revenue structure or shut down. Conventional critics ask, why shouldn’t bus service live by the same economics that dictate survival of businesses? Supporters claim that public transportation is a vital organ of any society and that if it is underfunded, then something’s wrong with both its revenue structure and the social values that define it.

CT depends on sales tax for two-thirds of its operating budget.

If CT hadn’t already maxed out its own taxing authority, it might have covered shortfalls by issuing bonds.

With income from sales tax down to 80 percent, relief is not in sight.

Yet when it’s critical to get people to work, we curtailed the transportation system that connects homes with jobs. Yes, there is something the matter with this picture.

If the income of a dairy farm doesn’t cover expenses the cows still must be milked. So it is with bus fleets that get people to work. With the economy still in the doldrums, people still must be transported to jobs, shopping and medical services.

Cutting them off from earning and spending money is a sure way to deepen a recession. It happens, in part, because too many of those who fund and plan bus service have made the personal choice to depend totally on cars.

Cost factors like $20 per day to

park in Seattle suggest that public transport will become the peoplemover of choice with private cars filling the gaps. When numbercrunchers add all the costs of driving in car-addicted America, they find two groups of costs. First are private costs: cost of the vehicle, maintenance and service, fuel, tolls, license and insurance. Then come social costs that can’t be measured in direct exchange of money: lost productivity while stuck in traffic, health costs from breathing polluted air, toxic runoff from roadways, spills in waterways and loss of the nation’s capital to oil-exporting nations.

Private costs vary around $59 billion while social costs total somewhere in the neighborhood of $125 billion. About $56 billion is charged against health damage due to air pollution. These figures are, at best, approximations since it is impossible to draw a fine line between health effects of auto exhausts and other sources of pollution. While results of different studies come up with wildly different numbers, they are consistent in pegging the costs to society from private cars significantly higher than private owners’ costs.

Add the insanity of gridlocked daily commutes. Count the hours wasted during slow-downs and stoppages. Measure the acreages dedicated to driving and parking cars. We accept all that because it’s part of our culture. But alien visitors looking down on us from on high would rightfully think we’re crazy.

The problem is that today’s transportation priorities reflect yesterday’s realities, not current or future realities or needs. To get in tune with the needs of the times we need to bend. Maybe this recession was needed to help us understand that the future should necessarily look very different from the past.

Families welcome home Healy crewmembers

SEATTLE — The Coast Guard icebreaker Healy’s return to its home-port on Sunday, Feb. 5, marked not only the end of a cruise that saw the ship’s crew performing an essential service for one of America’s northernmost cities, but also the homecoming of its three Marysville crew members.

The Healy had left Seattle on May 27 of last year and was originally scheduled to return in time for the holidays, before Alaska’s U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski requested assistance from the Coast Guard to escort a fuel tanker to Nome. For Petty Officer First Class John B. Carter II, a kitchen manager and crew-member on board the Healy since 1995 who’s served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 21 years, this made for his longest tour of duty yet.

“Eight months was the longest he was gone before,” said Heidi Carter, John’s wife, with whom he moved to Marysville in 2004.

Heidi has been raising their daughter Ashley, a 17-year-old senior at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, and 2-year-old son J.R. in John’s absence. “The fact that this was so last-minute made it especially hard.”

The double-hulled Russian ice

class tanker Renda was delivering more than a million gallons of diesel vehicle fuel and 300,000 gallons of gasoline, but in spite of being certified to travel through four feet of ice, the fuel delivery that was expected around Jan. 7 didn’t reach Nome until Jan. 14, even with the Healy clearing the way for the Renda through the Bering Sea ice for 800 miles.

Nome Mayor Denise Michels emphasized the importance of fuel shipments to the city, whose lack of outside road connections makes it dependent on marine vessels or aircraft for its shipments of goods. Nome had already missed a November delivery of 1.6 million gallons of fuel due to a storm last fall, and was increasingly reliant upon vehicles for transportation within the city as winter weather made walking prohibitively difficult.

“We have the option to fly fuel in for $3 a gallon, but we’re already paying $6 a gallon for it now,” Michels said. “That impacts our budget, as city staff have to drive vehicles to get anywhere they’re going and the roads need to be cleared for ambulances. All our budget projections are based on the fuel price staying stable through the winter.”

Michels expressed her gratitude to the crew of the Healy — includ-

ing John B. Carter II and his fellow Marysville crew-members, Miguel Uribarri and Nicolas Orozco, both petty officers first class — for sacrificing their holidays with their families. Although the Carters have put the rest of their decorations away, they kept their artificial tree up.

In the meantime, John and Heidi Carter have both reflected on how odd it’s felt for them for his voyage to be making the news around the world.

“It’s kind of weird for me, because this is what the Coast Guard does all the time,” John B. Carter II said. “We help people, so for me, it’s just part of my job.”

“I’ve had Sunday dinners with the kids at the Buzz Inn and seen his story appear on their TVs,” Heidi Carter said. “I would hear people at the other tables talking about it, so I’d start talking to them.”

The Carters agreed that being apart for so long has been the hardest part of his mission, but beyond that, John expressed his feelings simply.

“It’s been kind of boring for me,” John B. Carter II said via email, prior to pulling into port at Dutch Harbor in Nome. “I just would like to get this mission done.”

“From marine research in the Arctic, to breaking 800 miles of ice to get fuel to Nome, Alaska, to search and rescue in 30-foot seas, the crew superbly displayed the multi-mission capability of the

Coast Guard Cutter Healy,” said Rear Adm. Christopher Colvin, Deputy Commander, Coast Guard Pacific Area. “We ask a lot of our crews, and their families, and they all demonstrate excellence. This is our way.”

“John always feels bad about being away, but he can’t help it,” Heidi Carter said. “He doesn’t have any control over it. I’m proud of him, but I’ve missed him and I just want him home.”

Norovirus identified as cause for hundreds becoming ill at state cheer meet the flu-like symptoms exhibited by the Marysville cheerleaders, while Lakewood High School Principal Dale Leach is not aware of any Lakewood cheerleaders either attending the event or suffering any symptoms.

The number of people reporting they suffered vomiting and diarrhea during the event or in the days after is now 229. At least 33 have reported seeking medical care, though there have been no overnight hospital admissions. The numbers are expected to grow as state health officials receive answers from surveys that were sent to participants and families.

The Washington State Department of Health is leading the disease investigation, work-

ing with local health partners and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, which sponsored the event.

As part of the investigation, questionnaires were sent to participants and their families, and stool samples were collected for testing, whose results confirmed norovirus. About 3,000 people attended the event and more than 1,000 competed.

According to Snohomish Health District officials, it appears that some athletes arrived to the event already ill. Janitorial crews were called to clean up vomit from the floors of a restroom and the adjacent concourse walkway prior to the event’s awards ceremony on Feb. 4. Those sites are considered

likely exposure sites for the cheer and dance teams.

Health District officials reported that the Comcast Arena is being cleaned for public use and entertainment under direction from Comcast management, and that management is cooperating fully with the illness investigation. On Health District recommendations, arena staff began cleaning and sanitizing the building and food preparation areas on Feb. 6. The city of Everett also tested the drinking water supply to the arena. It proved to be safe, ruling out the public drinking water supply as a source of the causative disease organism.

Epidemiologists had believed the illness was caused by a Norwalk-like virus because so

many patients experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea in a short span of time, and because of the 24- to 48-hour duration of the illness. To reduce the spread of the illness, they advise close attention to thorough hand washing with hot water and soap, and immediate sanitizing of contaminated surfaces and clothing with bleach solution. People whose symptoms extend beyond 48 hours should beware of dehydration and should seek the care of a medical provider.

OLYMPIA — Testing at the state Public Health Laboratories confirms that norovirus caused hundreds of illnesses during and after the Feb. 4 state high school cheerleading tournament in Everett.

Norovirus is typically transmitted person-to-person.

Jodi Runyon of the Marysville School District confirmed that five students on the 15-member Marysville-Pilchuck High School cheerleading team were among the 19 cheer squads, out of the 45 squads in the competition at the Comcast Arena, whose onset of symptoms reportedly began on Feb. 5 and 6.

Marysville teachers Hope sponsors bill to create local jobs hit the streets to protest budget cuts This action was previously scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 18, to raise public awareness during the legislative session, but was rescheduled due to snow closures.

For more information, call the Marysville School District at 360-6530800 or the Marysville Education Association at 360-548-3446, or visit the Marysville School District website at http://msvl.k12. wa.us.

erty tax exemption for new manufacturing businesses, as long as they meet certain criteria under this proposed state law. For businesses to qualify for this tax exemption, it would require them to create a minimum of 25 family living wage jobs within one year of building completion.

“This bill is a real opportunity for our state Legislature to act decisively in favor of local job creation,” Nehring said.

Since the tax break would only apply to new or expanded businesses, the current tax structure would not be changed and it would not impact current tax revenue.

“Schools, fire departments and other necessary public facilities would continue to

be funded at their current levels,” Hope said. “Meanwhile, the tax exemption for new construction will make the difference between a business coming to our district or going somewhere else.”

Additional stipulations attached to HB 2722 would ensure that environmental

protections run concurrent with business development throughout the district. A population requirement of at least 50,000 people alongside a stipulation mandating that unused or underdeveloped industrial-zoned land will help ensure sustainability for the next generation.

MARYSVILLE — The shortened school day on Thursday, Feb. 16, will see Marysville School District teachers taking to the streets to direct the public’s attention to state budget cuts such as those that have already necessitated such furloughs.

Students will be released from school three hours early that day, and their teachers will be taking time off without pay shortly after those students are dismissed.

All teachers will be off work by about 11:30 a.m., and the Marysville Education Association has asked them to gather at specific intersections along State Avenue between 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., to wear red and hold signs focusing attention on the proposed state budget cuts.

A statement released by the office of Marysville S chool District Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland noted that this furlough day is a result of the 1.9 percent salary reduction imposed by the state Legislature, and added that the Marysville School District has made $21 million in cuts over the past four years.

Cuts proposed by the governor for next year would require another $6 million in cuts to the Marysville School District, which its officials have pointed out would impact property-poor districts such as Marysville much more than richer school districts.

Nyland and Marysville Education Association President Arden Watson reiterated that teachers would remain in their classrooms and continue to teach their students until school is dismissed for the day, and emphasized that all teachers, administrators and support staff who participate in this event will be doing so voluntarily and on their own unpaid time.

Administrators and classified support staff may take their lunch time or request leave time off to join the event.

MARYSVILLE — State Rep. Mike Hope is sponsoring House Bill 2772 to encourage new manufacturing businesses and help create jobs while protecting the environment, which dovetails with Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring’s plans of establishing a manufacturing and light industrial center in north Marysville.

“Currently, over 1,000 acres of real estate in Marysville sits empty, awaiting businesses to come and build and attract new revenue,” said Hope. “Unfortunately, Marysville, and other cities like it, lacks the adequate tools to encourage new businesses and job growth in this economic recession.”

HB 2722 was written to help create a 10-year prop-

‘Beauty and the Beast’ comes Marysville Parks presents ‘Dog Days, Raven Nights’ to Arlington in March “Mr. Moberly and Mr. McGee really click together,” added AHS senior Josiah Miller, who has been cast in one of the lead roles as the Beast. “They both have very high expectations for this show, and their vision for the production is so consistent that rehearsals are not only fun, but we are learning every day.”

Moberly has always focused on challenging students to learn the craft of theater and to come together to create quality productions.

“We’ve set the bar pretty high for our musicals,” Moberly said. “The community has come to expect something far above the average high school production, and I’m confident they won’t be disappointed this year. The cast has a large number of seniors with many years of both musical and Jazzmine credits on their resumes.”

Playing opposite Miller

will be junior Bailey Hudson as Belle, and rounding out the leads will be seniors Justin O’Hara as Gaston, Austin McFadden as Lumiere, Nathan Haskew as Cogsworth, Andrew Clark as Maurice, Kelsey Ghirardo as Madame Grand Bouche and Lexi Lewis as Mrs. Potts.

They’ll be joined by an ensemble group of students whom Moberly described as equally strong.

“I couldn’t ask for a better way to end my years in the Drama Department,” said AHS senior Megan Birdsong, concluding her fourth year as stage manager.

“Beauty and the Beast” will start at 7 p.m. on the Friday and Saturday nights of March 2, 3, 9 and 10, with a 1 p.m. matinee on March 10, at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $8 for children, students and seniors, and $12 for adults, and may be purchased in advance at www.byrnesperformingarts.org.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington High School Drama Department has promised to present some extraordinary performances during the first two weekends in March, when the Linda M. Byrnes Performing Arts Center hosts the musical “Beauty and the Beast.”

The show will feature sets and costumes from a professional stage company, along with a variety of special effects designed to dazzle, while the music, which is already familiar to several generations who have grown up with the classic Disney animated version of the tale, will be sung by a talented group of students under the direction of the newest addition to the AHS Arts program, Brent McGee. “Working with Brent McGee is an incredible experience,” AHS Drama teacher Scott Moberly said.

“He is extremely positive and brings a great energy to every rehearsal.”

Hajek fetes 100th birthday

Don’t Wish It! Do It!

Ernie Hajek is all smiles after his 100th birthday on Jan. 17.

At Madeleine Villa, Hajek has kept active with daily walks, taking part in the center’s activities and enjoying hot cups of cocoa.

“I look forward to seeing my friends and listening to their stories,” Hajek said.

“All of the staff are so nice to me here.”

Library hosts resume workshop MARYSVILLE — In partnership with the SnoIsle Libraries, WorkSource Snohomish County will be conducting workshops on creating a targeted resume, along with mock panel interviews, at libraries in Marysville and throughout the county this spring.

Many companies, including Boeing, use structured panel interviews in their hiring processes.

MARYSVILLE — “I feel like I still want to keep going,” said Ernie Hajek, a resident of the Madeleine Villa Health Care Center in Marysville, after he celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan. 17 of this year. At the same time, ask him what he most looks forward to when he wakes up in the morning, and he’ll chuckle and say, “I don’t want to wake up. I’d rather sleep.”

Hajek is a man who still appreciates the simpler pleasures of life. Born in Brainard, Neb., and raised in North Dakota, Hajek went to school up to the eighth grade, then went to work as a meat-cutter and a landscaper. The first car he bought was a 1930 Ford Coupe, but he didn’t buy his first home until he was

77 years old. It was a twobedroom house in North Dakota that he paid $55,000 for.

Throughout his life, Hajek has enjoyed all sports, especially baseball, as well as hunting, fishing, playing cards and going camping with his wife in their trailer in North Dakota and Minnesota. Hajek was married for 65 years, and their daughter gave them one grandchild and two greatgrandchildren.

“I loved my wife dearly,” Hajek said. “She was a very nice, sweet lady. She cooked good and kept up the house, and she never complained.

She was just perfect.”

Hajek’s favorite memories of his wife are when they went dancing and bowling together.

“I couldn’t score for beans,” Hajek said of his bowling game.

“Panel interviews are often intimidating for prospective employees,” said Mark Perry of WorkSource Snohomish County. “This workshop not only teaches about the interviews, but it gives participants a chance to practice their skills as well.”

Perry added that, in today’s competitive job market, a one-size-fits-all resume might not get applicants the interviews they

desire. The targeted resume workshops will teach participants to develop an effective, targeted resume by identifying and packaging the skills each employer is looking for.

The Marysville Library will host the workshop on March 20 from noon to 3 p.m.

Preregistration is required, and you may register online at www.sno-isle.org.
