MARYSVILLE — Residents of Marysville will remember 2012 for a variety of reasons. Here are some of the stories that appeared on the pages of The Marysville Globe in 2012.

January 11 The dishes are freshly prepared, the prices are low and the staff at this restaurant loves clocking in for their shifts. They love what they do so much, in fact, that they don’t even get paid. But then, the students who work at the School House Cafe on the Totem Middle School campus find their jobs rewarding in other ways. “I want to be a chef when I grow up,” said Jordan Anderson, a senior at the School for the Entrepreneur, on the Marysville Getchell High School campus, who’s been honing his craft at the School House Cafe for the past three years. “It’s an art form. There’s so much you can do with it.”

The Year In Review

“Just this Monday, one of our customers came to us crying,” said Mary Kirkland, owner of Hilton’s Pharmacy in Marysville, on Thursday, Jan. 12. “Because of the PBMs, her insurance told her that she had to go to mailorder for her medication, but she didn’t want to leave us.

She’s a cancer patient who requires a lot of medication, which has to be filled right away, but all the mail-order pharmacies fill them from out of state.” Many people have never heard of Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or PBMs, but according to not only Kirkland, but also Arlington Pharmacy General Manager Cory Duskin and state Rep. Kirk Pearson, the PBMs’ decisions can impact the quality of prescription drugs and pharmacy services that pharmacy customers receive, as well as the prices they pay for them. They expressed concerns about the fact that PBMs are the only health care

profession that’s unregulated within Washington state, and pointed to the 23 other states that have adopted legislation similar to House Bill 2303, which was introduced on the floor Jan. 11 with Republican Pearson as its primary sponsor and two Democratic representatives cosponsoring it.

January 25 The three-day weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day turned into a full week’s worth of snow-days for many Marysville residents, but even as the snow finally stopped falling and started melting on Friday, Jan. 20, the snowcovered hills of Jennings Park still attracted their share of kids and parents alike who were glad to have the day off.

“It’s about time we had some snow,” said Rafael Valenzuela, who slid down the slopes on an inner-tube with his 7-yearold daughter Grace. “It’s nice to be able to get outside and have fun like this without having to go all the way to

Sikh Temple holds vigil for Sandy Hook victims

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Marysville welcomed dozens of people to a candlelight vigil on Saturday, Dec. 22, honoring the victims of the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

The mass shooting took place on Friday, Dec. 14, when a gunman, identified later as Adam Lanza, killed 26 people at the school — 20 first grade students and six adult staff members — before shooting himself. Lanza also killed his own mother before driving Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo to the school.

“This is a great tragedy,” said Sharon Sandhu, of the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Marysville, holds a candle for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, dur- Satwant Pandher, president of the temple. “They are children, innocent ing a vigil on Saturday, Dec. 22.

children. We have our own children and grandchildren and we feel what the parents must be going through — such pain.”

The vigil began with a prayer, spoken in Punjabi, for the lives lost in the shooting.

“We have just, in our own language, said prayers that the children should have peace and for the parents to have faith in America,” said Pandher, after the prayer.

Donna Wright, Marysville City Council member, attended the vigil and spoke on behalf of herself and as a city representative.

Girl Scouts to host candlelight vigil for Sandy Hook shooting victims MARYSVILLE — On behalf of the Girls Scouts of Western Washington, the North Regional Girl Scouts office will serve as the site for a candlelight vigil in honor of and remembrance for the victims and all those affected by the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

This vigil is open to all members of the community and will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 4, at the Quil Ceda Stadium on the Marysville-Pilchuck High School campus, located at 5611 108th St. NE in Marysville.

“This tragedy has affected each of us in deep and

profound ways, and we grieve for all of the children and educators whose lives have been lost,” said Tasha Branch, community development manager for the North Regional Girl Scouts. “This tragedy has also touched our Girl Scout family. Eight of the 12 girls who died were Girl Scouts,

and two Girl Scout families lost sons.”

The North Regional Girl Scouts office requests that those attending the vigil bring a unique snowflake, made or purchased with any messages on it they’d like students and families to see.

The snowflakes will decorate the halls of the new school

building in Connecticut.

Girl Scouts of Western Washington would like to give special thanks to the Marysville School District, the city of Marysville, the Marysville branch of the YMCA, the Marysville Boys & Girls Club, and the members of the Marysville Noon Rotary, for helping the Girl

Scouts provide this opportunity to the greater community.

For more information about this vigil, or if you have any further questions, please contact Branch by phone at 360-658-8083 or via email at TBranch@ girlscoutsww.org.

has been attending the Guru Nanak Temple for 12 years and whose 9-year-old son is a student at Allen Creek Elementary School.

“We are here tonight to light candles for the kids we lost,” she said. “My heart goes out to the families. We are part of the same community, and their kids are our kids. Our hearts go out to them and to the teachers as well.”

Several school-aged children were in attendance and many people held back tears during the prayers and the vigil.

“There have been a lot of mass murders in the past 10 years, but nothing like this,” said Harpaul Singh Sidhu, as tears welled in his eyes. “These were innocent

children who were killed in such a horrible and gruesome way. It’s just terrible.”

Inderjit Singh agreed.

“Children are our future,” he said. “Maybe one day, they could have been the president, or doctors or lawyers. But the killer ruined that.”

Gun control and mental health parity were both discussed following the vigil, as the mourners gathered to talk about the incident and search for a solution.

“The Sikh community is always there in good or bad times,” said Sidhu.

“We want stricter gun laws.

They shook check the background of the whole family, not just the person buying the gun.”

Kevin Singh Mangat, a Marysville resident, spoke with other college students about possible solutions.

“I came here for the vigil and to support the community,” he said. “This is just horrible. We are talking about what we can do to fix this lack of awareness and lack of education.

It shouldn’t weaken us. If they have a mental illness it needs to be taken care of.”

The Guru Nanak Sikh Temple vigil was the first such memorial in

Marysville, although not the last. The Girl Scouts of Western Washington are hosting a community vigil, since eight of the 12 girls killed were Girl Scouts

and two Girl Scout families lost sons in the shooting.

The vigil will take place at Marysville-Pilchuck High School’s Quil Ceda Stadium at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 4.

“My heart goes out to the families. We are part of the same community, and their kids are our kids. Our hearts go out to them and to the teachers as well.”

“There is evil in this world, but we can’t let evil turn our hearts. As members of different religious communities we look to each other and the God that we pray to in this tragic time. I couldn’t understand the words that you said, but I understand your heart.”

Washington State Senate employee Sally Hintz also spoke, as a representative of Sen. Maria Cantwell’s office.

Following the prayers, the congregation lit candles for the victims and held a moment of silence.

People Helping Horses agrees to changes made by Attorney General’s Office kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The former executive director of People Helping Horses in Arlington has recently settled with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office after an investigation into the Snohomish County horse rescue’s management, and following the installation of new controls on the organization’s fundraising and financial practices, but the non-profit’s ousted leader still takes issue with the allegations levied against her.

A December 2011 tip from a concerned citizen led the Attorney General’s Office to look into People Helping Horses, which had raised more than $1 million the previous year, and its executive director at the time, Gretchen Salstrom.

The Attorney General’s Office reported finding multiple violations of the state’s

Consumer Protection Act, which bars misleading and deceptive business practices, as well as violations of the Charitable Solicitations Act, which governs the fundraising practices of non-profits.

“Gretchen Salstrom was helping herself to money intended to help horses,” said Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna, whose office accused Salstrom of misusing charitable funds. “She used the group’s money to pay for her own horse and dog-breeding business, and used the non-profit’s credit and debit cards for questionable travel and entertainment expenses.”

“Once we discovered the inappropriate use of funds, we took action to correct the situation,” said Sue Moore, a member of the People Helping Horses Board of Directors. “The two newest Board members sought legal counsel to assure all actions were within the law. This is

disappointing since it was not in alignment with our mission statement and not what the organization was created to do. It’s very, very sad.”

In a settlement sent for filing on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, People Helping Horses has agreed to use solicited funds for the specific animals and programs mentioned in its appeals, and to audit its finances, while Salstrom has been barred from leading a Washington state non-profit for 10 years as part of her settlement with the Attorney General’s Office.

“In fundraising appeals, People Helping Horses said they offered a therapeutic riding program for kids with health challenges, even though they had terminated the program,” said state Assistant Attorney General Sarah Shifley, who handled the case. “They claimed they partnered with other horse education programs and schools. They said they

Life Skills Leadership class takes a trip to Olympia

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Thanks to a recently completed campaign of fundraising throughout the community, the students of the Life Skills Leadership class at Marysville-Pilchuck High School will be heading off to Olympia in the New Year.

Jim Strickland, the teacher of the Life Skills class at M-PHS, explained that the purpose of the one-day trip — from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 30 — is to give the students an opportunity to tour through Washington state’s capitol and meet with several of the state’s legislators.

“Students will get firsthand experience advocating for the rights of citizens with disabilities,” Strickland said. “They will also have a chance to make their voices heard on other issues of concern to youth and our community.”

For many of the Life Skills students, this trip will be their first time inside the state Legislature, but for 21-year-old Preston Dwoskin, who officially

received his high school diploma in 2012, those hallowed halls are familiar ground.

“When students have never been there before, they learn so much from interacting with their legislators,” said Dwoskin, who’s visited Olympia as part of the Arc of Snohomish County’s leadership development program and spoken to the media about how proposed budgets could impact people with disabilities, like himself. “It’s one

checked up on horses after they were adopted from their shelter. None of that was true.”

Among other agreements in the settlement, a consent decree in Snohomish County Superior Court, People Helping Horses will: n Not make misrepresentations to donors or potential donors. n Hold donations in segregated accounts and apply such funds for purposes stated in fundraising appeals. n Create and maintain records documenting the amount of restricted donations that it receives and how donations are used. n Implement financial controls, including prohibiting staff members from using the organization’s financial resources for personal use. n Obtain a financial audit by a certified public accountant every three years and provide it, upon request, to the Attorney General’s Office. n Provide management training to its executive director and any other exec-

utive-level employees. n Comply with all registration requirements of the Secretary of State’s Charity Program before soliciting and accepting donations. n Not enter into any contract, lease or other business agreement with Salstrom. n Not retain Salstrom in any capacity or place her on its Board of Directors.

While People Helping Horses is liable for $50,000 in penalties, which are suspended as long as the organization follows the details of the settlement, Salstrom will pay $5,000 in attorney’s fees and faces penalties of $25,000 per violation if she fails to follow the injunctive portions of a separate settlement entered with her individually.

For her part, Salstrom argued that more previous Board members of People Helping Horses should have been contacted by the Attorney General’s Office, “since all those funds were agreed upon by them,” and pinned the source of the initial complaints on “a dis-

gruntled employee who rallied the troops” against her.

“The current Board members assured me that they’d keep the organization going, but they said it would just be easiest for the organization if I was gone from the public eye,” Salstrom said. “So I didn’t fight it. I just settled.

There will always be people who don’t like me, but I stand 100 percent behind the work I did. We were audited every year by a CPA, and neither the CPA nor our original attorney found anything that concerned them. What a sad end to this organization’s great work.”

“We often use the old saying ‘buyer beware’ when it comes to businesses,” McKenna said. “But this settlement shows that the giver ought to beware, too.”

Before giving to a nonprofit, McKenna recommends checking the Secretary of State’s Charities website, at www.secstate.wa.gov/charities, in order to learn more about how specific charities spend their money.

thing to know who your legislators are and where their offices are located, but it means so much more when you see what kind of impact you can have just by talking to them. If we as people with disabilities don’t tell our stories, our legislators won’t know what pieces of the picture they’re missing.”

Strickland thanked the community for supplying the $725 fee to pay for the trip’s only expense — bus transportation through Chinook Charter Services.

Marysville Strawberry Concert Band hopes music lovers will hear ‘How Sweet It Is’ kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — After capping off 2012 with a pair of wellattended and well-received performances, the Marysville Strawberry Concert Band is taking a break for the winter holidays, but when they resume their Wednesday practice sessions from 6-8 p.m. at Totem Middle School on Jan. 9, the band’s conductors and instrumentalists hope to see a few more faces showing up to play.

“Our concerts went really well,” said Nathan Sackman, who conducts the band with Peter Joseph, of the Friday shows on Nov. 30, at the Marysville Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Dec. 7, at Cedarcrest Middle School. “The band played well, and we got a very good showing.

More people turned out than I had expected. From now on, it’s just practicing for the spring.”

As the Marysville Strawberry Concert Band enters its second year, one of its biggest stumbling blocks remains the number of musicians in the band itself. It’s sent out fliers calling for wide varieties of clarinet, saxophone, horn and drum players, among other instrument chairs that Sackman and Joseph would like to see filled for future concerts, to make it a

proper 50-piece band.

“We could just use a lot more percussionists in general,” Sackman said. “I’d like some more trombone players. When we’re absent a tuba player, the whole band’s sound just seems flat without it.”

Sackman reassured nervous musicians that any and all experience levels are more than welcomed into the band.

“We’ll always take anyone without auditions,” said Sackman, who invited both high school and college-level musicians, as well as those who are older and long out of practice. “It’s like riding a bike.”

Julie Tapusoa temporarily lost the ability to play the flute after the removal of her wisdom teeth left her with nerve damage that numbed parts of her mouth and face, but she’s recovered well enough in the years since not only to play the flute at her church for special Christmas concerts, but also to teach others how to play the instrument.

“My opportunities to play for these last several years have not been challenging to my skills, but they have provided me continued chances to perform and keep myself playing at some level,” Tapusoa said. “I moved to Marysville in 2004 and wished it had a community band. When

I learned that a band had been formed [in 2012], I didn’t hesitate to join.”

In 1959, Anna Kruse picked up a bassoon for the first time at the age of 9. For the next four years, she and her sisters competed in concert and marching band contests across the Midwest, and in high school, she continued playing in the marching band, the symphonic band and the pit orchestra for musicals. Although she decided not to pursue music as an adult career because “my talents were limited,” she began to reflect on how music had influenced her life when her own children started school.

“I love being part of an ensemble of musicians of all ages and skill levels, who play for the simple love of making music each week and sharing it with others,” said Kruse, now a teacher at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, and formerly a member of the long-since-defunct Marysville City Band. “Every week I get to go back a little in time and be a band kid again — so long as no one asks me to march.”

Melanie Shelton is a senior at M-PHS, but she started playing the trumpet in fifth grade. High school has seen her take part in a wind ensemble, a competitive

The Marysville Strawberry Concert Band, which resumes its practices at Totem Middle School on Jan. 9, has more empty seats than they’d like for a 50-piece band. marching band, a pep band and a parade marching band for all four years, so when she found out that Sackman and Joseph were starting up a new band, she asked herself, “Why not?”

“I gave it a try and was not disappointed,” Shelton said. “Mr. Joseph and Mr. Sackman are great teachers, and I have loved learning from them. I have also really enjoyed the music and the other community members. I am excited to see how much this band

grows in the future.”

The Marysville Strawberry Concert Band wishes to thank Marysville Cleaners and Marysville Vacuum & Sewing for their support, and invites musicians who are interested in playing traditional concert music, show tunes, marches, selections from musicals and big band numbers to call Tapusoa at 425-344-1791, or email Sackman at nathansackman@msvl.k12.wa.us.

shooting death. Jenna was the 7-year-old daughter of Marysville Police Officer Derek Carlile, and she died on Sunday, March 11, at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, after receiving a gunshot wound to the torso the previous day. On Saturday, March 10, Jenna sustained the wound after her sibling found a loaded gun in their parents’ van, while it was parked near the Stanwood City Hall, and their parents were nearby but outside of the vehicle.

March 28 Four years after Shoultes Elementary started presenting school plays with “Beauty and the Beast,” the school’s drama program came full circle on March 22 and 23.

Nancy Hammer, the teacher and librarian who started the school plays at Shoultes and has served as their director for all four years, explained that her long-term plan was to assemble scripts, costumes, props and backgrounds for three plays — “Beauty and the Beast” which debuted in 2009, “Peter Pan” which students performed in 2010, and “The Wizard of Oz” which the school staged in 2011 — which could be presented in an ongoing three-year cycle.

April 4 Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring delivered speeches and cut a ceremonial ribbon to commission the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Marysville on Sunday, April 1.

April 11 Those who commute between Marysville and Everett on State Route 529 should look for an alternate route during the weekend of April 14-15, because the Ebey Slough Bridge replacement project is set to hit another milestone.

April 18.

This year’s “Graffiti PaintOut” on Saturday, April 14, drew more than 140 volunteers, divided them up into seven teams and concentrated four of those teams in the downtown Marysville area from First through Ninth street, between the

railroad tracks to the west and 47th Avenue to the east.

City of Marysville Parks Maintenance Manager Mike Robinson noted that the volunteers were armed with 150 gallons of paint, 80 paint rollers, 120 roller pads and 40 brushes. While they touched up homeowners’ street-side fences as far north as 116th Street, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring acknowledged that much of this year’s “Graffiti Paint-Out” is also intended to complement the downtown revitalization that he deemed a key priority for the city in 2012.

April 25 With unofficial results showing both of the Lakewood School District’s levies in the April 17 special election passing, district Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock expressed cautious optimism about the fates of funding for school programs and operations, as well as capital projects and technology.

May 2 Officials for the city of Marysville and the Tulalip Tribes showed their solidarity with Citizens for a Smell Free Snohomish County by calling for a determination of significance and an environmental impact statement from the city of Everett and the Puget Sound Clear Air Agency on Cedar Grove’s Smith Island composting facility in Everett.

May 9 Motorists on I-5 near north Marysville might have noticed the bridge pillars are already up and the westside ramp leading up to the 156th Street overcrossing is near-

ing completion, which means that the project as a whole has hit its halfway mark, but those drivers can expect some traffic slowdowns between now and the expected opening of the overcrossing in the fall of this year. After general contractor Guy F. Atkinson Construction started work in August of last year, the bridge’s substructure work was wrapped up by the end of December.

May 16 More than two dozen volunteers from the Marysville branch of Keller Williams and their associates teamed up to tackle Comeford Park as part of their fourth annual “RED Day” international day of service. Eddie Quintero has been in real estate since 1991, but Thursday, May 10, marked his first RED Day — which stands for “Renew, Energize and Donate” — as a Keller Williams managing broker.

May 23 The Twin Lakes County Park saw close to 500 folks stop by to cast their lines into the water as part of the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club’s six-hour family fishing event on Saturday, May 19.

Of the club members who helped coordinate the event, Buz Bauman estimated they lent out 60-70 fishing poles to kids up to their teens, while Jim Brauch figured the $4,000 that the club spent bought close to 4,000 fish to stock the pond that day.

May 30 Cloudy skies and a few raindrops weren’t nearly enough to dampen the enthusiasm of the crowds who thronged the Marysville Cemetery at

11 a.m. on Monday, May 28, for American Legion Post 178’s annual Memorial Day commemoration. Post Chaplain Jim Sewell opened by exhorting those in attendance not only to remember the sacrifices of those who have served, but also to carry the stories of who they were, what they did and why they did it into the future.

June 6 Since the middle of April, close to 30 rowers have been preparing for this summer’s tribal canoe journey, and Tulalip Tribal member Jason Gobin wants to make sure they meet the water ready for the challenges with which it will present them. “The biggest thing is to make sure everyone respects the water,” Gobin said at the Tulalip Marina on Wednesday, May 30, before tribal members put their “big brother” canoe into the water.

June 13 The gymnasium of Marysville-Pilchuck High School was overflowing on the evening of Monday, June 11, as the M-PHS Class of 2012 became the first to have its own graduation ceremony since the creation of the Small Learning Communities that now make up Marysville Getchell High School. “You’ve accomplished more than any other graduating class I’ve seen in the past 15 years,” M-PHS Principal Andrew Frost said of the students, who totaled $2 million in scholarship awards.

in 2012,” said Nehring, even as he pointed to positive signs in Boeing’s renewed commitment to the Pacific Northwest, the USS Nimitz coming to Naval Station Everett, the Armed Forces Reserve Center opening in Marysville, strong holiday retail sales and a slightly lower unemployment rate. “It’s really up to us to keep our city moving.”

February 8 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. February 15 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.

February 22 Marysville School District administrators, teachers and other staff members were joined by parents and students on the sidewalks of State Avenue near Comeford Park on Thursday, Feb. 16, as they donned red shirts and hoisted

signs high to raise awareness among passing motorists and pedestrians alike about the impact of proposed budget cuts to local education.

MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland and Marysville Education Association President Arden Watson cited the Washington State Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision in McCleary v. Washington, issued on Jan. 5 of this year, which ruled that the state Legislature has not complied with its constitutional duty to “make ample provision for the basic education of all children in Washington.”

February 29 As the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club celebrated the impending 20th anniversary of the Boys & Girls Clubs partnering with all Native American tribes, National Boys & Girls Clubs President and CEO James Clark visited the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club on Tuesday, Feb. 21, to report that the club will become a living example for new Boys & Girls Clubs on tribal lands across the state.

March 7 Briauna Hansen, a senior at Marysville Getchell High School, was crowned this year’s Strawberry Festival queen in the Marysville Library, while Lars Kundu and Anna-Marie Mudd, two juniors at Marysville Getchell, were crowned prince and princess, respectively.

March 14 A bill that passed the state House on March 6 before moving to the Senate promises to have profound impacts on roll-your-own cigarette retailers in Marysville, Arlington and beyond. House Bill 2565 requires those retailers— such as Marysville Tobacco Joe’s and Arlington Tobacco Express — to become certified and pay an annual certification fee of $100, as well as to purchase tax stamps to enforce the collection of taxes on tobacco products.

A look back at some of the Marysville and Lakewood sports stories of 2012

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

It was a year of success and improvement for all Marysville sports as 2012 marked the end of Marysville-Pilchuck High School’s 4A classification and the beginning of a cross-town rivalry between the Tomahawks and Marysville Getchell High School’s Chargers at the 3A level.

Many Chargers saw improvement as the inaugural year of varsity sports came to an end and, in fall, the second year began.

Marysville-Pilchuck remained a top contender and offered up several state qualifying athletes all year. Lakewood again proved that size doesn’t matter, as the Cascade Conference 2A school dominated on the field, court and mat all year long. Here’s a look back at some of the top high school sports stories of 2012.

Tomahawks make it to state quarterfinals

Marysville-Pilchuck’s varsity football program was one of the strongest in the area, and the Tommies managed to make it to the state quarterfinals on Nov. 17.

“This is my first time ever coaching at state,” said M-P’s head coach Brandon Carson.

The Tomahawks played a solid game at the WIAA 3A State Football Championship quarterfinals but were ultimately outplayed by the Eastside Catholic Crusaders, who finished the game with a 65-34 victory.

“We had a nice run here in the playoffs,” said Carson. “This is a special group of seniors and a special group of players. They are a close knit group and it’s sure been fun to coach them.”

Carson commended sophomore running back Austin Joyner and junior quarterback Jake Luton on playing a great game, as well as being players to watch for next year.

“Jake Luton, Austin Joyner, Deion Stell, Hunter Trueax, Nic Alonso, I mean there are so many players coming back next year, we’re looking forward to it,” he said.

Joyner was an impressive force on the offense all year, as he rushed a total of 2,036 yards during the season. Luton was upset by the loss to the Crusaders but eager to get going on the next season.

“The season was great,” he said.

“It’s tough to see it end. But we’ve got to get ready for next year and it starts now.”

Cougars advance to state for second year

For two years in a row, the Lakewood High School Cougar’s football team advanced to the state playoffs, including 2012 when they finished their season with only two losses.

The Cougars pulled out a victory on Friday, Nov. 2, as they faced Sedro-Woolley at Lake Stevens High School, and managed to clinch a close 21-14 victory over the Cubs and advance to state first round.

Despite the close call, the Cougars still made some great plays, with running back Donovan Evans rushing more than 160 yards during the game and scoring two of their three touchdowns. Quarterback Justin Peterson scored a touchdown in the first quarter as well and threw a 63-yard pass to Evans for the first touchdown of the night.

“We are the first team in Lakewood history to go to state in back to back seasons,” said head coach Dan Teeter. “I’m proud of them for how they’ve played.”

Lakewood faced Capital on Saturday, Nov. 10 and lost a close 47-36 game as well as their chances of making it to quarterfinals.

Luckily, the Cougars show skill and promise for the upcoming season, with junior quarterback Justin Peterson returning, as well as star running back Donovan Evans.

Peterson was voted as the AllCascade Conference quarterback.

Evans was honored as All-Cascade Conference first team running back and Brandon Stott was voted in as wide receiver. David Otte and Dylan Donohue were honored on the first team offensive line. Peterson was also named as the first team defensive back and Eric Murray made it as linebacker and Donahue was voted in on the defensive line. Randy Anaya made it to All-Cascade Conference specialists as a first team kicker.

Lakewood’s Peterson takes first place at state track meet

Justin Peterson is a multi-sport athlete at Lakewood High School, who dominates on the football field, basketball court and the track. The WIAA State Track and Field meet resulted in a big win for Peterson, who took first place in the triple jump and second place in the high jump. “He worked very hard and was very diligent about

Peterson, a junior, was the one local athlete who took a first place championship at the meet.

“This is my third year working with Justin,” said Monica Rooney, also an LHS Head Coach, who is in charge of training jumps and sprints. “He is a really hard worker and a talented athlete. His skill has progressed since he was a freshman.”

Peterson was named an AllCascade Conference first team track and field pick for the high jump and the triple jump.

Teammate Connor O’Kinsella was named to the All-Cascade Conference first team for javelin.

M-P softball makes it to state tournament

Marysville-Pilchuck’s fast-pitch team topped the division’s No. 1 seed in the first round of Wesco 4A District 1 finals on May 15, at Sky River Park in Monroe, to advance to state on May 25.

The Tomahawks defeated Arlington 2-1, immediately following their victory over Wesco South top-seed Kamiak High School. Their 6-3 win over the Knights sent the team glowing into the second game against the Wesco North 4A No. 1 team.

Hayley Fritz hit an RBI single in the top of the third inning, starting off a lead for the Tomahawks.

That lead quickly turned into a tie after Eagles’ pitcher Ronnie Ladines hit an RBI double in the bottom of the third, and at that point the game could have gone either way with the winner clinching a spot at state.

Tommies’ pitcher Monica Clow kept up the defense for the remainder of the game, giving up only

two base hits through the seventh inning. Abigail Otto hit an RBI double in the top of the seventh to give M-P the lead once again. The Eagles weren’t able to score in the bottom of the seventh, giving the Tomahawks a chance at the state See YEAR, PAGE 9

MG and M-P swimmers rock state meet

Both Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell swimmers and divers competed at the WIAA State Swim and Dive Meet in Federal Way on Nov. 10 and each athlete took a top spot in the competition.

“The Lady Tomahawk Swim and Dive proved they were a force to be reckoned with, finishing 10th overall in the state meet,” said head coach Jaci Legore Hodgins.

“We were led by senior Hannah Taylor, also UNLV bound, who swam an All American Consideration Time in the 100-yard butterfly and was second overall with a career best time of :56.15. She was third in the 100-yard backstroke and also swam a career best time of :56.96.”

Taylor’s performances in the 100-yard butterfly and 100-yard backstroke broke Marysville-Pilchuck school records, both previously held by Taylor herself.

“She led our eighth place 200-yard freestyle relay team, which was also First Team Wesco, with a school record 50-yard freestyle of :23.91,” said Legore Hodgins.

“She also swam her fastest 50-yard butterfly split in our medley relay, which was First Team Wesco and top 16 at state.”

Marysville Getchell, a team also coached by Legore Hodgins, broke school records at state and took top spots as well.

“We had awesome junior power at the state meet,” said Legore Hodgins. “Junior Rachel Hartmeyer broke her own school record and swam her fastest 500 freestyle ever with a 5:27.57.

She finished 16th in the state and Courtney Moss placed 13th in diving.”

The girls swimming season is over, and while some of the swimmers will return this fall, others are moving on.

“I’ve known Legore since I was 3 years old and my mom is the JV coach,” said Taylor. “Being able to swim on the team with them was great. I will never forget it.

This was the best senior year ever and I’m glad I did it.”

Marysville Getchell makes major strides

The year of 2012 marked the end of the first and the beginning of the second year of varsity athletics for Marysville Getchell High School and despite the teams’ relative youth, they made some big changes.

The Lady Chargers basketball team had their first ever taste of victory as they topped the Mariner High School Marauders 50-41 on Monday, Dec. 3.

“It was a really good game and I’m glad they experienced it. They need to know that it does make a difference and they needed to feel that,” said Grandbois. “I just think that these are the best girls to coach. They all have amazing personalities and loving spirits. I’m lucky to have this opportunity.”

Charger football made it to the post-season, with a final record of 5-5 overall.

“They are leaps and bounds from where they were last year,” said former coach Bronson Castellano. “It’s a treat to see how much growth there has been this year.” Several Getchell football players were named AllWesco picks. Alexzander Seymer made it to the first team offense as wide receiver, while teammate Alfredo Diaz made it to the first team offensive line. Seymer also made it to the first team as a return specialist. The first team defense also snagged Jacob Bisenius on the defensive line, along with Cody Stone as a linebacker. Several Chargers made it onto the All-Wesco second team offense, with MG’s Dylan Diedrich taking the quarterback spot, Cullen Zackuse as a run-

MG’s Ryan Lacoste, Kaleb Seymer and Alexzander Seymer were voted onto the second team as defensive backs, while John Clark from MG and Dante Fields from M-P were voted onto the defensive line. MG’s Nicholas Claus made it to the second team as a linebacker while teammate Stone made it as a punter.

Eleven Chargers were given honorable mentions for football including Daniel Tugi, Randall Clark, Dylan Smith, Brycen Hoitink, Wil Owens, Austin Miller, Ryan Gamble, Francisco Juarez, Elijah Jordan, Brandon Bethers and Devon Green.

MG’s Rachael Lefstad made it to the All-Wesco 3A Girls first team for cross country, after qualifying for the state championships.

LEGAL NOTICES

Sewell named Volunteer of the Month MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring recently honored JoAnn Sewell as the city of Marysville’s Volunteer of the Month for October for her leadership within the Marysville Community Food Bank.

“It’s people like JoAnn who make Marysville what it is,” Nehring said. “She has an enduring dedication to serving the less fortunate in our community, and she is using the hours of her life in a meaningful way.”

Sewell joined the Food Bank family about five years ago, a fact that Nehring shared at a recognition ceremony during at the Nov. 26 Marysville City Council meeting, which was attended

by Sewell’s family and fellow Food Bank volunteers. Her husband had passed away at the time, and with seven children grown and out of the house, she needed a new passion, and quickly found her second home volunteering at the Food Bank.

Sewell’s dedication to serving the less fortunate and welcoming other volunteers got her hired part-time as the Food Bank’s Volunteer Coordinator, a 5-hour-aweek job. Sewell helps draft Food Bank policy and guidelines, interviews potential volunteers, guides volunteers where their talents are best suited, and at times coaches them in appropriate customer service.

Sewell donates about 30 hours each week beyond her Volunteer Coordinator work.

According to Nehring, the list of her gifts of time and labor to the Food Bank is long, and includes supervising the sorting of hundreds of pounds of produce that come into the Food Bank, and setting out the food and quantities to be distributed to the long lines of Food Bank clients.

Sewell also sets up displays of produce, pastries and bread, in addition to picking up bargain-priced food at local stores, growing her own fresh produce in six garden plots

which yielded 450 pounds in 2012, and encouraging other gardeners to grow a total of 18,000 pounds for the Food Bank in 2012. She even makes pots of soup for volunteers and hot chocolate for clients, attends monthly Food Bank Board meetings, fills in for the Food Bank Director when he is away or at meetings, and sings Christmas songs to Food Bank clients during the holidays.

JoAnn Sewell made her involvement in the Food Bank a family affair when she encouraged her daughter, Amy Howell, to volunteer as well. Howell has brought her customer service and record-

keeping talents to the table for the Food Bank, and added grant writing to her skills with the “Food for Thought” program in 2012, which supplies backpacks filled with weekend food for students at Marysville elementary schools that have been identified as at risk of hunger. One of the grants came through the city’s Community Development Block Grant Program.

In his nomination, Food Bank Director Dell Deierling said, “JoAnn is an amazing person. We have the utmost respect for her, as well as the deepest appreciation for her service to this community.”

have quelled some enthusiasm for some events on Saturday, June 16, but spirits stayed strong for the Marysville Strawberry Festival’s climactic weekend this year. In spite of the full-on downpour that had let loose by its 5 p.m. judging, that Saturday’s Kiddies Parade drew so many participants that they had to huddle under the eaves of Totem Middle School as shelter from the storm before marching down State Avenue at 6 p.m.

June 27 It started at the Marysville Family YMCA 10 years ago as a way of raising $100 to buy a boom box, and it drew a grand total of 150 attendees. In the years since then, the annual 360 Break Dance Competition has attracted hundreds of contestants each year, scoring its highest turnout in 2007 with 1,000 attendees, and it’s drawn them not only from across the state and throughout the Pacific Northwest, but also from the other side of America and even a few foreign countries.

July 4 The Marysville Police Strike Team was formed on May 8 as part of a planned six-week emphasis on burglary within the city, which had gone above the five-year averages for recent months.

Nearly two months later, the Strike Team is a few weeks past its original end date, but with burglary numbers plunging well below the fiveyear averages for the month of June, the Marysville Police Department is doing what it can to keep the program going.

July 11 Michael Thorn opened Marysville Tobacco Joes nearly a year ago, but the latest legal developments regarding the status of roll-your-own tobacco caused Thorn to close the doors of Marysville Tobacco Joes at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 30.

July 18

Thousands of attendees, both human and canine, turned out for the sixth annual Poochapalooza, an event for dogs and their owners, on Saturday, July 14, at Strawberry Fields Park from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event featured more than 50 vendors, demonstrations, pet contests, rescue organizations, music, food and more.

July 25 One thing that both Marysville School District officials and local residents will readily agree on is that at least a couple of the schools’ landscaping is looking rough. Beyond that, some disagreements have cropped up, much like the weeds at Grove Elementary.

MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland identified the schools’ landscaping as but one of many victims of their ongoing money crunch, while Mark Hinricksen, a Marysville resident who lives near Grove Elementary, sees it as a problem that could be resolved by better prioritization on the school district’s part.

August 1 When the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency explained its plans to launch a study of the odor that’s been reported by residents of Marysville and Everett over the past four years, it drew sharp criticism from nearly all of the roughly 100 attendees from those same communities who took the time to speak at a public meeting on Tuesday, July 24.

August 15 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. August 22 The Hibulb Cultural

Flight 93, while also noting how that day dealt an even more personal loss to the Marysville community.

September 20 Pinewood Elementary, the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club and Allen Creek were just a few local focal points of the United Way of Snohomish County’s 19th annual “Days of Caring” volunteer event on Friday, Sept. 21, and Saturday, Sept. 22.

October 10 In the month of October, thousands of Americans choose to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month in different ways. In Snohomish County, that includes the thousands who have been diagnosed with the life-threatening illness. According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among women in the United States in 2011.

October 24 After serving on the Lakewood School District Board of Directors since Dec. 5, 2001, Board member Ken Christiansen is resigning this year. Christiansen submitted a letter of resignation at the Oct. 17 Board meeting, and his resignation takes effect Dec. 19.

October 31 For close to 100 special needs students at Marshall Elementary, the Rotary Club of Marysville’s pumpkin patch at The Plant Farm

meal food distributions saw a slight increase from last year, at the same time that the Food Bank has been impacted by the significant loss of one of its food sources.

November 28 The Marysville School District Board of Directors was named the Board of the Year by the Washington State School Directors Association this fall.

December 5 “Merrysville for the Holidays” put in its 24th annual appearance at Comeford Park on Saturday, Dec. 1, and in spite of what Electric Lights Parade announcer and city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew deemed “not rain, but tears of joy” that fell from the sky intermittently throughout the afternoon and evening, the event was drawing crowds well into the night.

December 12 The Marysville Walmart store currently under construction at the intersection of State Route 9 and Highway 528 is aiming for an official grand opening by the middle of next year, according to company spokespersons.

Rachel Wall, senior manager of community affairs for Walmart, touted the new 150,000-square-foot Marysville Walmart store as a means of boosting the economic vitality of the east side of the city.

in Smokey Point was just a bit too far afield, so the Marysville Rotary teamed up with staff and parents from Marshall Elementary and the Marysville Cooperative Education Program to bring the pumpkin patch to those kids.

November 7 The day’s rain did little to dampen the community’s enthusiasm for trickor-treating on Third Street this Halloween, while the Marysville Care Center’s annual Halloween celebration saw an uptick in attendance this year. Mary Kirkland, owner of Hilton Pharmacy at the corner of Third Street and State Avenue, estimated that as many as 250 kids toured through the “old town” Marysville merchants’ shops and surrounding blocks from 4-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, with increased foot traffic after 4:30 p.m.

November 14 As winter approaches and the need for food and clothing grows greater with the nearing holidays, the volunteers of the Seeds of Grace Distribution Center at the Allen Creek Community Church want to remind Marysville that there’s more than one food bank in town striving to serve the city’s less-fortunate citizens.

August 29 The Marysville Historical Society’s long-awaited museum came a significant step closer to completion on Saturday, Aug. 25, as MHS members, city of Marysville officials and representatives of local service clubs joined in breaking ground at the site adjacent to the Jennings Park Barn area. MHS President Ken Cage reflected on how a museum to preserve and display Marysville’s history has been one of the Historical Society’s goals since its founding in 1974.

September 5 To make sure their school was inviting in time for the start of the 2012-13 school year on Wednesday, Sept. 5, several of the students, staff members, families and surrounding community members of Marshall Elementary and the Marysville Cooperative Education Program spruced up the school’s grounds on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Marshall Elementary Principal Kelly Sheward expressed her appreciation to the school’s Co-op and PTSA for coordinating the four-hour work party, to compensate for the impact of funding shortfalls faced by the Marysville School District.
