MARYSVILLE — The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Marysville received an influx of both Sikhs and their supporters from the surrounding community on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 11, as they conducted a special service and candlelight vigil for the victims and survivors of the Aug. 5 shooting at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee, Wis. While representatives of U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen delivered speeches to the entire temple during its prayer program to offer their condolences and add their own prayers on behalf of Sikhs in Washington, Wisconsin and across the country, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring appeared in person to speak with Sikhs

at the Marysville temple one-on-one. Nehring cited the city of Marysville’s frequent partnerships with the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple on behalf of various community causes, and stayed after the candle-lighting ceremony to accept the Sikhs’ invitation to all the temple’s visitors to share a meal with them before leaving. Guru Nanak Sikh Temple President Satwant Pandher and Secretary Harcharan Sandhu expressed their gratitude not only to Lt. Brian Murphy, the Oak Creek, Wis., police officer who sustained several gunshot wounds to save the lives of others in the Wisconsin Sikh temple, but also to the Marysville community for rallying around local Sikhs. “Our Marysville Police SEE HONOR , PAGE 2

Community celebrates Homegrown Festival BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Crafters have been coming to the Homegrown Festival on Third Street for almost three decades. This year, a bout of good weather helped to solidify the success of a craft fair centered on local goods and downtown businesses, by drawing more than 3,000 attendees. The Homegrown Festival celebrated its 27th year with an expansion, adding an extra day to the ordinarily twoday festivities. The festival took place from Aug. 10 to Aug. 12, and offered live music, craft sales, locally produced food, with thousands of attendees. “We come here almost every year,” said Alondra Morgan of Marysville,

who used the festival as an opportunity to shop local goods. “It’s really nice seeing all the new things. We come here to look at all the jewelry and other stuff.” The festival was not just a pleasant experience for those browsing through the vendors’ offerings. The vendors themselves expressed their good feelings about the event. “This is my third year here and it’s a great atmosphere,” said Scott Jenrich, a beekeeper who is perhaps most wellknown for his display hive, which offers a glimpse into the lives of thousands of honey bees. “That’s my ‘Stop and Look’ thing,” said Jenrich of the display. “Most people have never seen honey bees before, so it’s educational.” Jenrich is a SEE FESTIVAL, PAGE 2
