MARYSVILLE — A park project begun last year has continued to benefit from the annual National Day of Service and Remembrance. This year’s Day of Service for Marysville returned to the Doleshel Tree Farm Park, located just east of Kellogg Marsh Elementary, on Saturday, Sept. 15. Bruce Paquette, who helped organize the effort for the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, explained that the Church is once again sponsoring the project, but commended both the city and surrounding community of Marysville for making their progress possible over the past two years at that site. “There’s 11 acres total on this property, and we’ll have

cleared out and cleaned up everything but two or three acres this year,” said Paquette, who estimated that nearly 150 volunteers from the Church and the surrounding community alike took part in trimming tree branches, up to six or seven feet high for safety and visibility reasons, as well as removing invasive weeds and blackberries, while city of Marysville Parks Department employees supervised the day’s labors and loaded deadwood into their chipper, to turn it into mulch for trails and landscaping. “It’s been real muscle-work, but next time, aside from that remaining northwest corner, we’ll be able to focus more on easier upkeep.” Lake Stevens’ Ward Isom, president of the Sno-Isle 9/12 Project, brought at least SEE SERVICE, PAGE 2

Marysville Fire Capt. Chip Kruse plays “Taps” on his bugle during the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the passing of Marysville Fire Lt. Jeff Thornton, at the Police and Firefighters’ Memorial in front of the Marysville Library.

MARYSVILLE — The 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was marked by ceremony and introspection at the Police and Firefighters’ Memorial in front of the Marysville Library. Greg Kanehen, pastor of the Marysville Free Methodist Church and chaplain for the Marysville Police Department and Fire District, offered an opening invocation after the Marysville Fire District Color Guard had lined up in front of the memorial at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11 of this year. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring delivered the ceremony’s main speech, reflecting on how quickly time seems

to have passed in the intervening 11 years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93, while also noting how that day dealt an even more personal loss to the Marysville community. “My son is 12 years old now,” Nehring said. “He has no recollection of the events of that day. He’s learned of its significance through academic studies and stories told to him by his teachers and other elders. He’s part of a generation that didn’t experience those events the way we did. We remember exactly what we were doing when we found out about the attacks.” Nehring acknowledged that the closest experience to which he could SEE 9/11, PAGE 2
