ARLINGTON — Three police officers from Arlington were joined by one each from Stanwood and Edmonds, as well as three Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies, in helping 14 Arlington children celebrate the winter holidays as a season of giving.

“Cops and Kids” came together again on Saturday, Dec. 15, to shop for themselves and their loved ones at the Arlington Walmart, although Arlington Police K-9 Officer Anthony Davis acknowledged that the program had downsized slightly from the more than two dozen Arlington children who were treated to holiday shopping sprees last December.

“We’ve got less money and fewer kids this year,”

said Davis, who nonetheless noted that each child still received $100 to purchase presents for themselves, their families and their friends at Walmart, to which the Arlington Walmart added $25 for each of those dozen children who showed up on Dec. 15. “One of the kids was sick, and another didn’t want to come out for the day, so we gave the money to their parents.”

Fellow Arlington Police Officer Mike Keating was again accompanied by his son Aden, who turned 13 this year but has been helping his dad supervise young “Cops and Kids” shoppers since he was the same age age as many of them.

“The only thing that could stop me from coming out would be if I had a work SEE KIDS, PAGE 2

Arlington City Administrator Allen Johnson steps in for an absent Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman on Dec. 17 to present the proposed regional fire services cooperative effort study to the Arlington City Council for approval.

ARLINGTON — The city of Arlington will be taking part in a joint regional fire services cooperative effort study, along with half a dozen other agencies, thanks to a unanimous vote of the Arlington City Council on Monday, Dec. 17.

Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman, who had spoken to the Council one week before on Dec. 10, has been recommending since this summer that Arlington take part in a proposed study by ESCI, an international consulting firm that specializes in emergency services cooperative effort studies.

The goal of this study is to identify critical issues facing Arlington and other agencies in their ongoing mission to provide fire and emergency medical services to their

citizens. To that end, the study will focus on Arlington and other fire and EMS agencies’ current service levels, strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for cooperative efforts with regional agencies.

The Arlington and Arlington Rural fire and EMS agencies are being joined in participating in this study by similar agencies from Darrington, Silvana, Tulalip Bay, Camano Island and the North County Regional Fire Authority, the latter of which didn’t confirm their own participation until Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Of the total cost of $76,062.92 to fund the study, Arlington will be funding $13,746.55, or approximately 18.05 percent of that total.

KIDS FROM PAGE 1 shift scheduled,” Mike Keating said. “Seeing the kids’ reactions is definitely worth investing a couple of hours of your time. They’re just as excited as all getout.”

While the Keatings helped 11-year-old Catherine Fagerlie hunt down a requested Christmas ornament for her grandmother, Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Deputy Greg Sanders and his fiancee found themselves encouraging 9-yearold Gracey Hoover to be slightly less selfless in their buying that day.

“This is the third year that I’ve done this, but especially after the tragic school shooting in Connecticut yesterday, it just feels nice for me to take kids out and let them have some fun,” Sanders said on Dec. 15.

“Gracey had some trouble getting stuff for herself, since all she wanted to do was buy things for others, which amazed me. When

these kids who don’t have a lot are given money to spend, they want to spend it on others.”

Just as Fagerlie’s expectations of meeting a “stern, serious” police officer were contradicted when she found the senior Keating to be “really fun,” so too did Hoover warm quickly to Sanders as an escort, even though she’d been nervous about meeting a member of law enforcement for the first time.

Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Deputy Marcus Dill praised his own young shopper, Hunter Ridele, for budgeting his funds well enough to have $3 left over, which he then decided to give to his mom after already buying presents for her, his stepdad, his sister and one of his teachers.

“He also got a wallet for himself that he really wanted,” Dill laughed. “It’s just fun to watch them have the experience of shopping for the holidays and make their own choices.”

“This is a great program,” said Wilena Langham-

Henry, who joined her son Jonathan in wrapping gifts at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club after his Walmart shopping spree. “It can be hard to stay positive during the holidays when your family’s in need, but by interacting with the cops and other volunteers, these kids learn that there are people in the community who care about them, and that they shouldn’t be ashamed of needing to use these types of services.”

“Look at this room and tell me what you see,” said Bob Baize, one of the volunteers who helped serve up free pizza and soda for the children, their families and the members of law enforcement as they finished their giftwrapping at the Boys & Girls Club. “These police officers are smiling. They don’t get a chance to do things like this all that often, especially with what they deal with on a daily basis.”

All the families interviewed extended their thanks to the members of law enforcement and other volunteers who made “Cops and Kids” possible.

STUDY FROM PAGE 1 North County agreed to participate,” said Arlington City Administrator Allen Johnson, referencing the somewhat more expensive $14,018.41 price tag that Arlington would have had to pay if the North County Regional Fire Authority had not taken part. “The formula for how much each agency paid was based on its population, square miles and assessed property value, which seems to be the fairest way to do it. I’m personally delight-

ed with these numbers. I would have thought that the amount we would have to pay would be much higher.”

With the other participating agencies already having notified Arlington of their commitments on Friday, Dec. 15, the next step on the list is for ESCI to develop a work plan and schedule site visits with all the agencies, in time for all their contracts to be signed on Jan. 15, 2013, at which point ESCI will issue agency information request forms to all its clients.

From there, ESCI expects to start its site visits on Feb.

15, and to complete its feasibility study by Aug. 15, 2013.

“A summer timeframe for a study like this is very prompt,” Johnson said.

“I’m glad so many other agencies are participating,” Arlington City Council member Marilyn Oertle said. “If we can find ways of sharing our resources, we should be able to save the public some money.”

“I was especially interested in the future opportunities to reduce duplications of functions,” said fellow Council member Debora Nelson. “That seems really wise.”

Vandals slash tires in Marysville Rasmussen to step down from kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Nearly two weeks later, Marysville police are still investigating an unprecedented number of tire slashings that occurred overnight sometime between the late evening of Thursday, Dec. 6, and the early morning of Friday, Dec. 7, according to Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux.

“We’re estimating that between 140-160 cars got hit since we’ve already received 911 calls for 132 vehicles and we know that some people will simply choose not to report that their own cars’ tires got slashed,” Lamoureux said.

Lamoureux identified the central Marysville area roughly around Cascade Elementary as the main cluster of the attacks, and admitted that, as of Friday, Dec. 14, the Marysville Police Department still had no suspects in this investigation.

“At this point, we’re hoping for a tip from a citizen that might give us something to go on,” said Lamoureux, who noted that crime analysis is being applied to the investigation. “Whether it’s security camera footage or anything suspicious at all, even if you

don’t think it will help, it could prove key to resolving this investigation.”

In the meantime, Marysville tire stores such as Formula Tire on 9229 State Ave. reported brisk trade on the morning of Dec. 7, so much so that they struggled to meet the demand for replacement tires.

“We’ve had to order a lot of tires that we don’t have in stock, because they’re newer models of tires that shouldn’t be worn out yet,” said Marcus Sampson, manager of Formula Tire

in Marysville. “You should inspect all the tires on your car carefully, because if a razor gets run along the side of a tire, it might not go through all the way, but it can still blow out when you’re on the road, which would be bad news if you’re on the freeway going 70 miles an hour.”

Both Sampson and Lamoureux lamented not only the crime itself, but also the fact that it was committed when so many people need their cars to conduct pressing holiday errands.

Crime analysis by the Marysville Police Department has identified the clusters of tire slashings that were reported on the morning of Dec. 6, but the suspects remain at large.

Marysville City Council

MARYSVILLE — City Councilmember Carmen Rasmussen announced that she is resigning her position on the Council effective Dec. 31 because she is moving outside of city limits.

“I have greatly enjoyed the time I have spent on the Council, and will always cherish the fond memories I have of my colleagues and friends in the city,” said Rasmussen. “I am proud of the work that we have done in Marysville and I am glad for the chance to have made a difference in this community.”

Mayor Jon Nehring said that Marysville is losing a strong advocate for parks and recreation, public safety and community engagement. “Carmen has a true passion for this community and provided a valuable perspective to our City Council,” said Nehring. “She will be greatly missed and leaves a legacy of community service.”

Rasmussen was appointed to the Council in December 2005 to fill a vacancy, and was then subsequently elect-

ed to the Council in January 2008 and November 2011.

She served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, chaired the Marysville Fire District Board of Directors, and also served on the Cable TV Advisory Committee, Government Affairs Committee and Marysville Healthy Communities Leadership Committee.

Legacies of Rasmussen’s policy decisions while serving on the Council are visible around the community today, including State Avenue improvements; Ingraham Boulevard; 156th Street I-5 overpass, Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park and plenty of additional parks and walking trails; the Healthy Communities initiative; a retail boom and more robust sales tax base; and a strong partnership with the Tulalip Tribes.

Stepping down from the Council became necessary when her husband, Darin, a Lieutenant and 22-year veteran in the Marysville Police Department, accepted the position of Assistant

Still, he brought to the hospital a coveted, fourpound dictionary on the evening of our daughter’s birth. It’s a half century old, and I just used it to check spelling on one of the above words, reliving a happy time as I did so.

Nadine and I wore the same perfect lipstick, Rain Kissed Rose from Avon. We bought all we could when they discontinued it, but the hoards dwindled away. Ten years and 1,500 miles away, she scored one tube. And sent it to me for Christmas.

I lingered over the colorful, handmade garden stakes in the craft shop next to the veterinarian’s. A bird, bee, caterpillar and butterfly, they were $1.50 apiece. I was currently unemployed and in that day of 29-cent milk and 49-cent gasoline, a buck fifty wasn’t to be sneezed at.

On a summer Tuesday I lumbered to the kitchen, lured by the smell of my disabled husband’s fresh coffee.

On the table was a dented, pink plastic florist’s vase. In it were a few sprigs of dry, leftover baby’s breath and Dale’s bouquet – bird, bee, caterpillar and butterfly.

She had gone to strangers for permission — then made a dozen trips to gather the Tropicana’s fallen petals and create the gift. I lifted the fragile glass lid today; after 30-odd years only a faint scent remains, containing vivid memory.

Yesterday, a bearded, rather scruffy young man opened a door for me in the crowded department store.

When he returned my smile, I was the most fortunate of women in a warmer world.

Going over the fiscal cliff has real impacts on education

V

ery rarely do policy makers find themselves faced with an opportunity to completely avoid an unprecedented fiscal crisis. Unlike the recent recession, Congress and the Administration have everything they need to avoid sending our country over the fiscal cliff.

The looming fiscal cliff, the cuts of sequestration and our country’s ability to avoid them lie solely in the hands of our elected leaders in Congress and the White House. Now is the time to put politics aside and make decisions to help this country avoid the deep, blunt, across-the-board cuts of sequestration.

As a school system leader, I can assure you that education cuts do not heal, and that the impact of the sequester on education would be severe and far-reaching. The looming fiscal cliff and sequester threaten to undermine the success of our local schools in preparing students to be college/career ready.

In a federal fiscal climate with a seemingly laser-focus on “cut, cut, cut,” it is more important than ever that our nation’s leaders recognize the important role of education in not only educating students, but in preparing a high-quality workforce for postsecondary opportunity, whether work or college.

Stilly Valley Pioneer Hall hosts ‘Military Day’ European theater during WWII until his passing.

“It wasn’t until I read his DD-214 form that I discovered he’d been wounded in the Battle of the Bulge,” Morse said. “Three Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantry Badge for 13 months and 21 days in the Army. I sure didn’t make sergeant as quick as he did,” he laughed, before turning serious. “But he never talked about it. I had relatives on the USS Arizona when it sank. Four of my namesakes are on that memorial. If it wasn’t for the WWII vets, we’d be speaking a different language.”

Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum caretaker Marty Rausch explained how “Military Day” started 12 years ago, with the dedication of a military memorial on site, and promised that it would continue to take place on Dec. 7, regardless of which day of the week the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack falls upon in a given year.

“Sometimes we’ve had re-enactors here, lots of times we’ve had military vehicles, but our museum has always been open on

this day,” Rausch said. “This day is a chance for community members to meet veterans, and for veterans to exchange ideas with each other. My brother was in the Korean war, and it wasn’t until after he died that I found out that he’d earned a Purple Heart.”

Jared Dickson was one of the survivors of the sinking of the USS Curtiss at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, and his recollections echoed Schanche’s observation that many of the sailors who fought and died that day had barely entered adulthood.

“Those boys who were 17 back then would be 88 today,” Dickson said. “I’ll be 92 in a couple of months.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a terrifying experience that I don’t care to talk about. I’m real proud

of the fellows who fought for our country at the time, but we’re all going to be a thing of the past very soon.”

ARLINGTON — The 21-gun salute was rendered, the military vehicles were on display and the veterans were soon chatting up a storm at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum’s annual “Military Day.” Before Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561 Junior Vice Cmdr. Nathan Farmer, Community Affairs Chair Bill Morse and Senior Vice Cmdr. Jack Hayes took up their rifles to fire off their series of shots, David King of Mill Creek had returned to show off yet another vehicle in his military collection, this time a 1942 Slat Grill Jeep with an M1919A4 .30-caliber Browning machine gun mounted on its side.

“I had the gun before I had the Jeep, but I’ve had the Jeep for almost eight years now,” said King, a faithful visitor to each year’s “Military Day” who has eight military vehicles in his fleet now. “I try to make it here every year to show my respect and honor our past and present military

members. I’ll go just about wherever I’m invited for this. I drove my World War II Harley up to Anchorage this year as part of a convoy, and that was a bumpy ride, let me tell you.”

Mike Schanche, who recently retired from his 30-year Navy career after having achieved the rank of Command Master Chief of Naval Station Everett, donned a civilian suit and tie to address the room of fellow veterans following the 21-gun salute.

“I see a lot of WWII veterans here, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Schanche said.

“You guys wrote the pages of history, which we’ve strived to uphold. You should take great pride in your legacy, especially as the young men and woman of today’s armed forces continue to uphold your same high standards.”

Schanche reported that Naval Station Everett’s observance that morning, of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, was an appropriately moving ceremony.

Walmart, USO team up to help children at the Quil Ceda Walmart wound up well-stocked with items such as electronic dartboards and sporting equipment, while contributions such as Xbox games and iTunes gift cards were much appreciated for older kids.

“It’s a wonderful thing to give back to the military members who have served us, by supporting their families,” Cox said.

“And don’t take the time you have with your loved ones for granted,” added Army Pfc. David McClary, one of the military volunteers at the Dec. 7 USO toy drive. “A lot of us can’t see our families for the holidays.”

TULALIP — The Quil Ceda Village Walmart hosted half a dozen volunteers from the United Service Organization on Friday, Dec. 7, as they collected toys for the children of military families.

“Two weeks ago at the Fred Meyer in Kent, we collected about $5,000 worth of toys,” said Meagan Cox, lead communications and IT person for the USO Northwest in Seattle, as she and her fellow volunteers filled shopping carts that Friday with donations from customers. “We’re hoping to get roughly the same results here.”

Cox explained that, while the “Toys for Tots” program is administered by the U.S. Marine Corps and tends to benefit the children of civilian more than military families, the USO’s toy collection drive enlists a largely civilian crew of volunteers to help brighten the holidays of children of military families.

“One of the biggest challenges military families face is that so many people assume that they’ve got it all made for them,” Cox said.

“The reality is that military members often make less money than their civilian counterparts, even while being sent overseas to protect our freedoms.”

Cub Scouts donate to Food Bank

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank got another helping hand from the community courtesy of the members of Cub Scout Pack 180, who showed up at the Food Bank’s doorstep carrying enough non-perishable food items to equal the weight of four and a half Cub Scouts.

The Cub Scouts handed over their 352 pounds of food items to Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling on the afternoon of Saturday, Dec. 15, as Grace Ustaris, committee chair for the Cub Scout pack, explained how her kids had collected that much food between the lat-

ter half of November and the early weeks of December.

“Our core values that we wanted to demonstrate for the month of November were citizenship and goodwill toward the community,” said Ustaris, who credited 19 Scouts with generating this haul. “It’s probably the biggest turnout we’ve ever had.

We did amazingly well.”

Ustaris noted that the Scouts managed to collect this many cans of food at the same time that they were fulfilling other community service commitments they’d made, including singing Christmas carols at the Marysville Care Center and a session of tree-planting at the Qwuloolt Estuary.

Mark Gorrell is past grand

knight of the Knights of Columbus Council 7863, the charter organization for Cub Scout Pack 180, and he agreed with Ustaris that the Scouts’ activities have been in keeping with the Knights of Columbus’ core values of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism.

“This is definitely a cause that’s an ongoing benefit to the community as a whole,” Gorrell said. “The holiday season is a prime time for such giving. We in the Knights of Columbus work hand in hand with the Cub Scouts, and we’ve been very impressed by the teamwork they’ve demonstrated in working together.”

Deierling not only gave the Scouts a chance to weigh

“For me, it’s always great to see kids involved in this,” Deierling said. “I hope it teaches them about philan-

thropy, and if they hit harder times as adults, I hope they’ll remember the Food Bank as a place that they shouldn’t be ashamed to go to if they need assistance.”

the food they collected, along with themselves, on the Food Bank’s large scale, but also explained how important such contributions are to the Food Bank, well beyond the holidays.

“This is essential inventory for us,” Deierling said.

“The donations we receive now feed our clients not only through the holidays, but also up to March or April, when we start to get low again. That’s why the Letter Carriers’ Drive in May is so important to replenish our stock. Our inventory levels don’t follow a straight line.”

While the Food Bank fed an estimated 715 families Thanksgiving meals, Deierling only anticipates to feed 650 families Christmas

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Eagles wrestling team faced a tough opponent in the MarysvillePilchuck Tomahawks grapplers on Thursday, Dec. 13, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

In the end it was the Tomahawks, led by head coach Craig Iversen, who took the win with a final score of 48-36. The Eagles, led by Iversen’s father, coach Rick Iversen, still put up a good fight, missing a tie by only one pin.

“The big thing I like to talk about is what a great night it was for the two communities,” said Rick Iversen. “A lot of people came out to watch, former wrestlers, managers, parents and cheerleaders. A lot of the time when you travel for athletics, you aren’t competing against a town, you’re competing against a shopping mall. But Marysville and Arlington are really both strong communities.

That’s what I love about that match.”

Although the Eagles lost by 12 points, they knew the strength of the Tommies and came prepared to give them a

run for their money.

“We knew how tough it would be,” said Arlington coach Barry Knott. “We wrestled 14 matches and every match resulted in a pin and we only lost by two pins. In the 195 and 220 matches, if we had pinned their guy instead of them pinning ours, we would have won. It was a lot closer than it sounds.”

The Eagles did find considerable success over the weekend, as they took top spots in two separate tournaments — the Monroe Bearcats Invitational and the Nathan Hale Barry Knott Invitational, both on Saturday, Dec. 15.

“We finished third at Monroe and had a champion at 106 pounds — Jeremy Nygard,” said Knott. “We also had a second place at 113 pounds — Boston Jones, and a second place at 145, Scotty Bardell, who lost 4-2 to a state champion from Reno, Nev. At 220, Gareth Henderson took second place as well. It was a great tournament for a team as young as we are.”

Iversen agreed.

“At Monroe, the big shining moment was that we got to showcase our star freshmen,” he said. “Jeremy Nygard is going

It was really cool to see both of them able to go out there and put on a show.”

The Nathan Hale Barry Knott Invitational was named

after Knott who coached at the school for 16 years.

“It was my first time there as an active coach,” he said. “A lot of former athletes came back to say hi. It was nice that we See eagles, Page 11

Lady Cougars fall to Wolves

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lady Cougars basketball team may have underestimated the strength of the Coupeville Wolves on Tuesday, Dec. 12, as Lakewood suffered a 40-32 loss to the Cascade Conference 1A school.

The game started out rough for the Cougars as the Wolves scored first and kept on scoring consistently throughout the first half of the game. Lakewood didn’t score until the second quarter and left for the locker room with only three points on the board, while Coupeville had 17.

The Cougars rallied a bit of a comeback however, and scored almost 10 times the points of their first half total in the second, but it wasn’t quite enough to pull out a win, leaving them trailing 40-32 at the end of the game.

Coupeville’s defense kept them at bay for the first three quarters, but the Cougars still had some high scorers, including 5-foot-10 freshman Marissa Blair who scored 16 points, and 5-foot-3 freshman Hayley Senyitko, who scored five points including one 3-pointer.

Senior Mikayla Holmes scored four points and one 3-pointer, while Cassidy Dvorak scored three points and Reille Jones and Eliza Wild scored two each.

December 19, 2012

The game marked the second in-league loss for the Cougars, who are a relatively young team.

“We have three players returning from last year’s varsity team, none of whom were starters,” said head coach Chris Walster. “We have five freshman on varsity this year, and they are a good group of freshman. In fact, our two leading scorers are Marissa Blair and Hayley Senyitko, both freshmen.”

Walster was disappointed in the outcome of the game against the Wolves.

“Last week we played a great game against Archbishop Murphy,” he said. “We led by two in the second half and we were only down by six in the fourth quarter. Tonight was disappointing because Coupeville was last place in the league last year and Archbishop Murphy was first place. It’s not an excuse but I think we overestimated our ability.”

He also noted that fouls were an issue for them early on.

“We got into foul trouble early with silly fouls,” said Walster. “We would have liked to put more pressure on them, but we had a lot of fouls in the first half.”

The Cougars played Granite Falls in an away game on Friday, Dec. 14, and won with a 47-36 victory. They are set to play Marysville Getchell in an away game on Friday, Dec. 21.

Local soccer rivalry begins

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A new local rivalry is developing in Arlington and Marysville, but this time it isn’t over high school sports — it’s semi-professional indoor soccer.

Marysville Indoor Sports and Arlington’s Soccer First Indoor Sports arenas both host semi-pro soccer teams — the Ruckus FC in Marysville and the Aviators FC in Arlington.

The teams played their first game against one another on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m., at Marysville Indoor Sports to a completely packed building, as fans of both teams made their presence known.

Both the Ruckus and the Aviators are part of the Premier Arena Soccer League’s Northwest division, with seasons beginning in December.

“I had 35 guys tryout this year,” said Kim McMullan, who co-owns Marysville Indoor Sports with her boyfriend Craig Otto. “We have guys playing for us from Ferndale, Kitsap County and Seattle.”

Marysville Indoor Sports was opened last year and started a semi-pro team immediately, while Soccer First in Arlington has been around for years but just started their team this season.

“I’ve been the owner of this business for six years, and every year the league gives me a phone call to see if I want to open a team,” said Phil Bartlow, owner of Soccer First.

“I kept saying no, because I felt that my facility is smaller than most. But last year Marysville put in a team and their arena is smaller than mine, so my excuse didn’t really work anymore.”

A number of local players urged Bartlow to start a team as well, so they held open See soccer, Page 11

training in August and tryouts in October.

“It’s been a really good experience,” said Bartlow.

“We’re still new but we are trying to put out the most competitive team we can.”

The distance between both arenas is only 5.9 miles, an issue that stirred up a lot of debate about whether the teams are too close and if the proximity is damaging to player turnout and sponsor opportunities.

“In the PASL, the rule used to be that you can’t have another team within a certain distance of us, but they pushed to have a team only 5.9 miles away,” said McMullan. “Some of their players used to play for Ruckus so it’s a little tense.”

The Ruckus have won

Eagles FROM Page 10 teams. Conner Gonzales was the champion at 145 pounds and Brice Clariday took second place at 195.

We had two third place wrestlers, Trey Swanson at 106 pounds and Adalberto Ramos at 195 pounds.” The Eagles finished the tourna-

one game and lost two so far this year, opening their season with a 10-9 loss to the Oregon Blacktails on Dec. 1. They suffered a 9-2 loss to the Kitsap Pumas on Dec. 8.

The Aviators lost their first game to Snohomish in a rough 10-1 defeat. Their second game was a victory at home, with a 6-5 win over the Bellingham Rapids, two-time defending champions.

“That was a big deal for us,” said Bartlow.

In the rivalry game against the Aviators, the Ruckus pulled out a 9-8 victory, scoring in the last nine seconds of the fourth quarter.

“That was disappointing because we had the lead going in to the end and couldn’t hold on to it,” said Bartlow.

McMullan was excited over the win, while Otto was partially responsible for it — he’s the goal keeper for the Ruckus.

“This was really a great game,” said McMullan.

Both teams are hoping that despite the rivalry, the community will support local soccer.

“Support definitely helps when we have two people cheering for us instead of against us,” said Bartlow.

Ruckus play their next game away against the Tumwater Pioneers at Tumwater Indoor Sports on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. The Aviators will play a home game against the Snohomish Skyhawks on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m.

ment with 93 points.

Eagle wrestlers host the Arlington Double Duals with Jackson High School against Mountlake Terrace and O’Dea on Wednesday, Dec. 19.

“We hope to have all of our kids back in the lineup by the first of the year,” said Knott, who noted that a few of the athletes are out with injuries. “Then

we are going to point for the postseason and qualify for the state tournament in February. We have some really outstanding wrestlers this year, like Conner [Gonzales], Scotty [Bardell], Jeremy [Nygard], Boston [Jones], and Bryce Thomas. Look for all five of those guys as potential state competitors this year.”

Local school officials respond to shooting n Minimize your child’s exposure to conversations that are occurring about the event. Seeing and hearing adults overwhelmed or consumed with the information can increase children’s fears. n Stay calm yourself.

Calm adult responses and reactions can go a long way to helping children cope. n Let your child know it is normal to be afraid and adults worry too. The primary need of children and adolescents is to feel safe and secure. Brainstorm ideas for helping them cope with their fear, such as talking with you and other trusted adults when they

are feeling worried, draw, write, physical exercise or listen to music. Reassure them their school is a safe place to be. n Take time to listen carefully to their feelings and worries. n Stay with everyday routines. All of us find safety in the predictable. n Watch for significant changes in behavior, such as headaches, stomachaches, clinginess, withdrawal or irritability. n Contact your school’s counselor for additional resources and/or strategies if you have any concerns.

Both the Marysville and the Arlington school dis-

tricts have had staff available to speak with students since their return to class on Dec. 17.

Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District, credited Arlington Police with stopping by the schools, during the course of making their regular patrol rounds on Dec. 14, “to let us know we had their support.” Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield added that Arlington Police have increased their presence at the schools “and will continue to do so for the next few days or so.”

17, the statements on both school districts’ websites acknowledged that news of the shooting would likely dominate news coverage throughout this time, and as such, the districts provided lists of tips for students’ families and school faculty, to try and provide a greater sense of safety to their children and themselves.

The following recommendations were posted online by the Marysville School District: n Turn off or monitor the television. Endless news programs are likely to heighten anxiety, and young children cannot distinguish between images on television and their personal reality. n Maintain a normal routine. n Stick to facts. Answer questions factually. n Remain calm and reassuring. Children take their cues from their parents and other caring adults around them. n Be a good listener and observer. Pay attention to changes in behavior.

The Arlington School District posted similar guidance on its own website, telling parents that, based on their children’s ages, they should: n Minimize or eliminate exposure to the media.

Repeated viewing of the information can contribute to increased anxiety, fear and other symptoms.

statement on the Arlington School District website read that same day. “The safety of our students is our highest priority.”

The statement on the Marysville School District website noted that they have “a comprehensive student safety plan, and practice drills for lockdown, fire and other issues on a regular basis,” in addition to working with the Marysville and Tulalip Tribal Police and Fire departments, as well as the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, “as part of our continuing effort to keep your children safe.”

The statement on the Arlington School District website likewise pointed out that they’ve worked with the Arlington Police and Fire departments, as well as Cascade Valley Hospital and the city of Arlington, to put together a comprehensive emergency plan, which has been tested a number of times in each of the years since through drills for lock downs, earthquakes and fire, according to the plan.

“Following a drill, our Emergency Management Response Team reviews the success of the drill,” the statement on the Arlington School District website read. “Improving our emergency procedures is part of the district’s continuous improvement process.”

MARYSVILLE — Representatives of the Marysville and Arlington school districts have joined county, state and national officials in reacting to the shooting on the morning of Friday, Dec. 14, at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., which killed 28 people total, including 20 children.

Statements posted on the Marysville School District website at www.msvl.k12. wa.us an the Arlington School District website at www.asd.wednet.edu that same day extended the school districts’ sympathies to those affected by the shooting, while offering advice to local parents on how they might help their children deal with the news of this tragedy.

“As educators and parents, we are especially saddened that most of the victims this morning were vulnerable, innocent children,” the statement on the Marysville School District website read on Dec. 14.

“As our students are being dismissed today, they may soon hear of these events and understandably feel anxious and frightened.

The same feelings will most likely be experienced by parents and school staff.

We are all affected and feeling less safe as a result.”

“This is a difficult situation and communicating with your children about a tragedy of this magnitude can be overwhelming,” the

attendees, whose donations will go toward promoting and enhancing the affordability of Stillaguamish Senior Center exercise programs such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, Zumba Gold Fun, Fit and Function, and Stretch and Breathe.

“We’re trying to make these programs more affordable for more people,” said Adele Erbeck, outreach coordinator for the Stillaguamish Senior Center. “We’re subsidizing it to a certain extent, so that more folks can take advantage of programs designed to help them live healthier lives.”

Erbeck estimated that December’s pancake breakfast doubled the event’s usual attendance, which she attributed to press coverage and an appearance

It’s all community service to benefit their programs, and we love to see the community come together on these mornings.”
