MARYSVILLE — At ages 50 and older, they don’t fit the typical target market for Kindles, Nooks and other “e-book” readers, but almost all of them are regular patrons of the Marysville Library, so on Friday, Jan. 11, Mark Burnett helped them learn how they could take advantage of a few of the library’s online and electronic resources. “The largest classes are usually in January because that’s when most folks have just gotten their devices as gifts,” said Burnett, reference librarian for the Marysville Library. “Actually, the two main categories of attendees for these types of classes are those who want to know how to make their devices work with the library,

and those who haven’t yet bought such devices, but are exploring how they could work with the library’s services.” Burnett offers step-bystep, and in some cases even hands-on, instructions on how to look up and check out e-books from the Marysville Library, in various formats and on assorted devices. “With the number of e-books that are already out there, this really is the wave of the future,” Burnett said. “The people I see in these classes are usually excited and fearful all at once, so I provide them with tips and encouragement to help them get over their apprehension, which is to be expected. After all, everyone SEE TECH, PAGE 2

Marysville School Board member Pete Lundberg pledges on Jan. 7 that the process of selecting Dr. Larry Nyland’s replacement as superintendent will be diligent and transparent.

MARYSVILLE — On Jan. 7, the Marysville School District Board of Directors named Northwest Leadership Associates as its search consultant for the process of selecting a replacement for Dr. Larry Nyland as superintendent, but this is merely the first step in what all the Board members have said they hope will be a fully transparent process. “This is a unique opportunity for us to reach out to the community, and to show them what’s going on,” said Marysville School Board Legislative Representative Dr. Tom Albright, who laughed, “I do hope we only have to do this every 10 years or so, though.”

On Jan. 8, the open superintendent position was posted on not only the MSD website, but also those for the Washington Association of School Administrators, the Washington State School Directors’ Association, Northwest Leadership Associates and the American Association of School Administrators. According to the proposed timeline presented by John Fotheringham of Northwest Leadership Associates, consultants will be made available to staff and community groups during the months of January and February, to seek their input on the superintendent selection criteria, which the Board will further define during the SEE DISTRICT, PAGE 2

Marysville School Board Vice President Wendy Fryberg listens as the Board’s Legislative Representative, Dr. Tom Albright, anticipates that the upcoming selection of a superintendent to replace Dr. Larry Nyland will yield ‘an interesting three months.’ will spend the entire day in meetings with staff and community groups, complete with 45-minute questionand-answer sessions and comment forms for participants to express their opinions and rate the candidates. The Board’s deliberations will commence on March 27, so that the new superintendent can be hired no later than March 30 according to the Northwest Leadership Associates timeline, well in advance of the new superintendent’s July 1 deadline to report for duty. “It’s going to be an interesting three months,” Albright said. “I know Larry’s retirement will mean the difference between him working 40 hours a week rather than 80, but it’s hard to lose such a good and valued friend,” Marysville School Board President Chris Nation said. “He talked me into putting my name on the ballot, and he’s been a wonderful community partner.”

month of February. “A large cross-section of the community will be involved through their input,” Marysville School Board member Pete Lundberg said. “I look forward to hearing what people from all walks of life have to say.” Paper and electronic surveys of Board members, parents, and staff and community members will culminate in a Board work study to review the search criteria on Feb. 11, so that the search criteria and application materials can be made available on request to applicants starting Feb. 12. The job announcement brochure will be published Jan. 23, and the application deadline is March 11. On March 16, the search consultant is slated to make a screening report available to the Board, reviewing the

background of each applicant and making recommendations to the Board, which will then select candidates to be invited for preliminary interviews. The consultant will provide sample interview questions and help the Board prepare for interviews of four to six semifinalists on March 23, after those semifinalists have been announced on March 18. Following recommendations by observers representing school district staff and patrons, the Board will select two to three finalists. “This is a heavy responsibility,” Marysville School Board member Cindy Erickson said. “Getting input from as many segments of the community as possible will help us to choose good candidates, but it’s not necessarily going to be an easy choice.” March 25, 26 and 27 will be set aside for full-day district visitations for up to three finalists, one on each day.

addition to the four laptops that we’ll be checking out for use within the library, we hope to receive between six to 10 tablets by around this spring,” Spencer said. “It doesn’t require more tables or chairs, and it lets the patrons take the information with them as they wander through the library.” One reason why space is an increasingly finite resource at the Marysville Library is because its usage by the community keeps going up. “In 2011, we checked out 888,980 items,” Spencer said. “In 2012, that number was 1,032,997. It was the first time we broke the million mark. Considering that the Sno-Isle Libraries as a whole checked out nearly 9 million items, that’s a large part of their volume. People have this fear that library use is decreasing, but that’s simply not happening.” For more information, log onto www.sno-isle.org/ explore/ereaders.

knows how to open a book, but with an e-book, you have to turn the device on, get the proper software, then go through the procedure of checking it out online.” “This has been amazingly helpful,” said Mike Rainwater, a white-haired gentleman who recently acquired a Nook. “Having this new way to access books is just great. I’m becoming a fan of reading books ‘on the cloud.’” While Rainwater touted how e-readers can actually make reading text easier for older library patrons, Marysville Library Managing Librarian Eric Spencer deemed classes such as Burnett’s to be part of a multi-pronged approach to help library patrons make better use of online resources that they might not even be aware of. “We’ve got e-books, downloadable audio and stream-

ing magazines from Zinio, which is a game-changer,” Spencer said. “A lot of these people have devices that they’re paying to use, but a lot of those same titles and resources are available from their local public library.” Both drop-in and “Book a Librarian” programs are available at the Marysville Library for staff to assist patrons in setting up user accounts and become familiar with the features. “Some people need oneon-one appointments to learn how to do research or hunt for jobs,” Spencer said. “Others, like the people in Burnett’s classes, receive indepth group instruction on the devices themselves.” The Marysville Library will soon have devices of its own to lend to patrons who don’t have Kindles or Nooks, but who want to utilize the library’s currently limited computer lab. “We don’t really have the physical space to expand beyond our 32 PCs, so in

Army Reserve unit changes command in Marysville

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Armed Forces Reserve Center hosted a historic change of command ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 5. “Today marks two milestones,” said Maj. Gen. William Frink Jr., commanding general of the 79th Sustainment Support Command. “In addition to being the first change of command for the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, it is also the first major event to be held at this brand new state-ofthe-art facility. We moved the ESC headquarters from Fort Lawton when they were downrange, officially closing Fort Lawton in February. This is the first major public community ceremony since the 364th returned from deployment, so thank you for allowing me to visit your new home and take part in your first change of command since returning from your successful deployment.” Brig. Gen. Jonathan G. Ives, who had commanded the unit since its formation in 2009, left to become the deputy commanding general of the 377th Theater Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit in New Orleans. Brig. Gen.

I. Neal Black, the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command’s new commanding general, comes to the Puget Sound after serving as deputy commander for mobilization at the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. “While commanding the 364th, Gen. Ives successfully deployed the unit to Kuwait to handle the historic drawdown of forces from Iraq,” Frink said. “Even though the 364th was mobilized two years ahead of schedule, Jonathan and his amazing group of soldiers handled that mission — the largest logistical operation since World War II — with skill and professionalism, ensuring the president’s directive was enacted. As Gen. Ives himself said, you got ‘em home for the holidays.” Frink noted that, under Ives’ command, 68,000 troops and 11,000 truckloads of equipment came safely out of Iraq, which means the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command successfully executed the single largest logistical movement in the history of the U.S. Army. “The 364th literally closed the door on the Iraq theater after seven years of war,”

Frink said. “This deployment illustrates just how true it is that the Army doesn’t roll without the Army Reserve.” After congratulating Ives on the birth of his daughter on Nov. 21, the day before Thanksgiving — “If that’s not an excellent reason to give thanks, I don’t know what is” — Frink moved on to praise Black as a more-than-worthy successor. “Neal is the type of leader who empowers his soldiers,” Frink said. “He gives them the opportunity to excel at missions that they might have initially thought were beyond them. This is what the 364th needs in its reset phase, is a leader who gives his soldiers the mission and lets them make it happen. This reset phase is an opportunity to build the 364th in his own vision. Reset can be challenging, but it’s also rewarding. I look forward to seeing what the 364th will look like this time next year.” When asked to look back on his legacy, Ives referred instead to the collective legacy of the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command under his watch. “Our legacy is about how we stood up the command, how we grew and mobilized the command, and how we

have become the best ESC in the U.S. Army,” Ives said. “We have done a significant amount of work. When you look back in three short years since 2009, we have structured an operational command with Force Generation Mission Command responsibilities when there was none before.” Ives admitted that, when his unit received its alert order, more than a few senior officers expressed doubts about its capability and readiness. “If there is one personal legacy to remember about Brig. Gen. Ives, it is this,” Ives said. “I believed in you. I was fully convinced the 364th would be successful in Kuwait or any theater. Was it simply a commander’s bravado, or just hubris? Maybe a little bit, but truly, it was because I was witness to how you were forming, and I was internal to the culture of the 364th. What I saw then, you still have. It is your culture, and you will never lose it.” Ives credited his troops with forming a command and team in six months, managing the largest retrograde in the history of the U.S. Army in 56 days, saving more than $200 million through their logical hub, and nearly $20

By contrast to his peers, Black was a self-described

man of few words. “To Maj. Gen. Frink, I promise you I will give you my full effort to keep this a top command,” Black said. “To Brig. Gen. Ives, I promise you I will not screw up what you’ve given me. To my soldiers, I promise you I will make my decisions with you in mind. The mission will come first, as it must, but I will take care of you, just as you take care of the mission. When people thank me for my service, I tell them it is my pleasure to get to work with dedicated young men and women like you.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Schools need a full arts program

Dr. Larry Nyland, Superintendent of the Marysville School District, recently announced his retirement effective at the end of the current school year. Praise for his efforts at improving instruction and test scores in the district will no doubt be heaped on him prior to his leaving, and Dr. Nyland’s hard work and dedication to his vision certainly deserve to be acknowledged. Yet, since 2004, decisions made by Marysville School District officials under Dr. Nyland’s supervision have resulted in the gutting of arts education programs districtwide. A robust choral music program that at one time featured a full-time choir teacher and five performing choirs at M-PHS has been slashed to just one small choir at M-PHS and one at MGHS campus, plus a small choir that meets after school hours at Marysville Getchell. One thousand students in three smaller learning communities on the MG campus are not allowed to take choir during the school day even if they want to because of a “no crossovers” policy that allows only students in the International School of Communications to sign up for choir. Again, that is two choirs for 2,900 students. The numbers for band and drama are equally appalling. The only band opportuni-

ties that exist at MGHS are a small jazz ensemble that meets before school, and a recently formed pep band that meets after school. There are no opportunities for students to act in plays or musical plays at Marysville Getchell, because drama programs do not exist there. The situation in visual arts instruction is a little better, but not much. All four SLCs at Marysville Getchell offer at least one visual arts course, but most of these are entry-level drawing or graphics courses. No ceramics, advanced placement studio art, or similar upper-level visual arts courses are offered. The deterioration of opportunities to have music in the elementary schools is the worst in decades. Why don’t Marysville students deserve to study and grow through the arts? Why are they denied access to them (MGHS)? I urge Marysville parents and citizens who care about the benefits of arts education to join in the process of selecting the new superintendent in the coming months. Now is the time to let your voices be heard. Shouldn’t Marysville students have the same access to arts education as students in Arlington, Lake Stevens, Stanwood and Everett? Let’s choose a leader who will commit to bringing back a full, robust arts program, one that students and parents alike can take pride in. Vernon Counsellor II Marysville

It took family to raise the Christmas spirit

hristmas came and went. Somehow, I wasn’t able to get geared up for it this time around. That might have had something to do with no little ones around since so much of the joy is reflected from children. We seniors sometimes have to work at cranking up the enthusiasm to join in the general mood of the season. We started with some mild outdoor decorating, mild because we’re now condo-dwellers with CC&Rs to observe. That stands for Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions which means our grounds are supposed to look like everyone else’s grounds and if we dare to try something unique, we’ll hear from the Conformity Police, i.e. the governing board of the homeowners’ association. So far, we haven’t caught any flak from lining our walkway with lights. With one of our offspring’s family sunning in Hawaii and two others spending Christmas with the outlaws, we settled for pulling the family together on December 29. A son and daughter live at opposite ends of Lake Stevens and the other daughter lives in Sammamish (The apples didn’t fall far from the tree). So we’re able to get together often enough that there’s no need to be fussy about when our frequent and slightly riotous meetings take place. The Christmas blahs also might have something to do with how the Graef clan rejects commercialized Christmas. Presents included homemade pickles and jellies. The grandkids got souvenir gifts from our last travels plus a few coins from Uruguay, Argentina and Chile to add to their collections. We adults do a wine exchange while the kids each received a gift card — everything from Sports Authority to Regal Cinema. In both groups, each person had one chance to exchange with someone else and

since each person was covetous of what someone else held, this got a little wild. We were fifteen around two tables. With a number of them leaning heavily toward vegetarianism, we offered two flavors of curry with chicken or shrimp options among fruit and veggie toppings. About toppings, I spent the morning turning onions, tomatoes, papaya, pineapple and bananas into tiny cubes. Yogurt and mint-pepper sauces and heaps of that Indian flatbread, nan, completed the feast. Curry and toppings took care of our end of dinner preps. According to a newish family tradition, the host provides a main entrée and guests bring the rest, which in the case of my younger daughter, Emily, can always be dangerous. After desert, a pear upside-down cake topped with whipped cream, a call came from the kitchen: “Who’s for coffee?” On it came and it was only afterward that Emily passed the coffee package around. It was kopi luwak. For the uninitiated, kopi luwak is also known as cat-poop coffee. It’s been found that civet cats in Indonesia have a taste for the best beans which they ingest but can’t digest so out they come, pretty much whole except for digestive juices cutting the beans’ acidity. Some adventurous Indonesian must have really been hard up for a cup of coffee when he became first to extract beans from poop found near a civet cat’s nest. The stuff is incredibly expensive which seems to add to its allure.

We have to watch Emily. She’s hoodwinked us before and she’s sure to try again. And with elephant poop coffee and panda poop tea now available — yes, it’s true, you can buy them on-line — she may not be through with us yet. At any rate, we gave our Hamilton Beach Coffee Station a thorough cleaning. During a past Christmas exchange, she gave us each an oddshaped piece of red plastic. After letting us puzzle over what to do with them she stepped out of sight to demonstrate, producing a mellow flute-like rendition of Jingle Bells. It didn’t help. No one figured them out. Turns out, they were nose whistles. You breathe into one through the nose, changing pitch by changing the shape of your mouth. That was many years ago and I still pull mine out now and then to amaze friends or confuse enemies. One year my son gave me a hand-crafted putter (with head cover). That turned out to be a piece of tree-branch with a right angle knot at the end, somewhat trimmed up to resemble a putter. The head-cover was a real head cover, a fox’s head with ears and little beady eyes he picked up at a tannery. A few stitches made it fit like a regular head cover. It holds the record for the most disgusting present I’ve ever received. While the Christmas nonsense is over, the real and timeless message of Christmas will continue to guide our days. The tree is down and packed away. Decorations likewise. Furniture moved to accommodate fifteen has been horsed back into place. It’s all put away — except for recollections of another fantastic family gathering that remain fresh in our memories. A happy New Year to all. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

thing so awful,” Nehring said. “Even though it happened 2,800 miles away, our sympathies are not any weaker, and what the Girl Scouts have done here today is commendable. The things you do may seem small sometimes, but they’re not.” Tasha Branch, community development manager for the North Regional Girl Scouts, pointed out how personal this tragedy was for the Girl Scouts, since eight of the 12 girls who died were Girl Scouts, and two Girl Scout families lost sons.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville city and school district officials were among the dozens of community members who joined the Girl Scouts of Western Washington in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium on the evening of Friday, Jan. 4, to honor the victims and all those affected by the Dec. 14, 2012, shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. A candlelight vigil featured Girl Scouts and their family members singing “I Am One Voice,” with 26 singers representing the 26 lives lost in Connecticut that day, before candles were passed out to attendees in the stands of Quil Ceda Stadium, so that they could join in the song. Dr. Tom Albright, who serves as both a Marysville School Board member and chaplain for the Marysville Police Department and Fire District, acknowledged how the questions raised by such a tragedy are challenging to him, especially as a parent, a grandparent and the husband of a teacher. “Just as the children and

ARLINGTON — If Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman had one message for the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce on Jan. 8, it was this: “We’re always there.” Stedman reported that December’s calls to the Arlington Fire Department spiked, from the usual average of 10-12 per day to 22-24 per day, although he couldn’t say yet whether this was a seasonal peak or the start of a new trend. Either way, Stedman touted Arlington Fire’s proactive stance on training, not only by raising the requirement bar for its captains and developing county-wide training programs for other fire and EMS agencies, but also by inviting the Arlington City Council to take part in its live fire exercises. “We understand that fire

equipment is very expensive and the Council has to make informed decisions,” said Stedman, even as he laughed about his own concerns over leading the Mayor or Council members too close into a live fire. Looking back on 2012, Stedman recalled “the bad day in June” when he was informed the fire department had lost 10 percent of its budget, which would require the department to lose two of its firefighters. “I asked the firefighters if they would agree to 5 percent concessions across the board,” Stedman said. “They came back to me and said, ‘No, we won’t do that. We want it to be 6.5 percent instead.’ No other union that I know of would do that.” Looking ahead to the rest of 2013, Stedman is eager to update the fire department’s “out of date, nonexistent and bad” poli-

cy manuals, and promised that the memorial housing for the Sept. 11 World Trade Center girder that the department received from New York City is nearly complete. “Again, I know we’re expensive, so I’ve instituted formal uniform inspections as well,” Stedman said. “We need to show that we’re being responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, especially when we’ve got old apparatus that needs replacing. Fire ladders are typically 12 years old. Ours is 17. It already costs a lot of money to repair at that age.” Stedman is likewise looking forward to seeing the findings of the recently approved joint regional fire services cooperative effort study, which is set to be completed by Aug. 15. “Its analysis should help all of us become better service providers,” Stedman said.

MARYSVILLE â€” Last year, volunteers at the free tax preparation center organized by United Way of Snohomish County helped 347 customers file their taxes and brought back $516,974 in refunds. That money gave a boost to the local economy, built up savings and helped people pay off credit card debt. This year, the free tax preparation center in Marysville will be located at Goodwillâ€™s Marysville Job Training and Education Center on 9315 State Ave. The site will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3.p.m., from Jan. 22 to April 15. The Marysville site is one of six sites being opened by United Way throughout Snohomish County. The others will be in Everett, Lynnwood and Monroe with United Way volunteer tax preparers.

Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life kicks off Jan. 19 BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life will conduct its official kickoff rally on Saturday, Jan. 19, between 1-4 p.m. at the Marysville Boys & Girls Club at 1010 Beach Ave., and for participants such as Kristin Banfield and Kayla Dowd, the annual event is personal. Banfield is serving as the event chair for the 2013 Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life on behalf of the American Cancer Society, while Dowd is a student at Marysville Getchell High School’s International School of Communications who’s stepped up as this year’s public relations chair for the Marysville-Tulalip Relay. Both women want to see lots of volunteers gathering at the Boys & Girls Club to raise funds and register teams for the Relay itself, which will run overnight June 29-30 at Asbery Field, located at 1605 Seventh St. Banfield was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, and while she’s since made a recovery, Dowd’s grandparents have not been so lucky. While Dowd’s grandfather beat the stage-four lung cancer that he was diagnosed with two years ago, his family found out

just a few weeks ago that he now has brain cancer. Dowd’s great-grandmother passed away from cervical cancer a few years ago. “I have learned so much about cancer, about how many people are affected in one way or another, and how chemotherapy and radiation works,” Dowd said. “It’s a chain reaction of how many people are really hurting or sad, but stay strong when someone you love has cancer. A big thing I have learned from survivors is to keep laughing and smiling, or making them laugh, even when the hope isn’t high.” “Since my first Relay four years ago, my perspective on Relay has changed,” Banfield said. “I am a direct beneficiary of the money raised by Relays all around the world. The treatment I received for breast cancer was developed from research funded by the American Cancer Society, but the money we raise for Relay doesn’t just go to find a cure for cancer. Relay is my way to help fund the local American Cancer Society services that I used just a couple years ago. The services I received from our local ACS staff — the information on the website, the person on the other end of the phone — were essential to my recovery and positive outlook. I want to be sure

The Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life took place in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium in 2012, but will be returning to Field this year. these same services are available to others in the future.” Banfield noted that this year’s Relay is returning to Asbery Field due to feedback from its participants, and its date has been shifted to avoid conflicts with high school graduation ceremonies and the Marysville Strawberry

Festival. “This move provides us with the ability to broaden our fundraising opportunities during the main event,” Banfield said. “We hope the community will come out on June 29 and 30 to honor our survivors, celebrate those we’ve lost and fight

back against this terrible disease. Our theme this year is ‘Dream Big, Relay Bigger,’ and we’re focused on making the 2013 Relay the biggest Relay event that Marysville-Tulalip has ever seen.” “All this money that’s raised to make a difference

is a chance to keep a mother, father, grandparent, sister, brother and friend,” Dowd said. “This is a remarkable thing to give back to.” To join the MarysvilleTulalip Relay For Life, call 425-404-2194 or log onto http://relayforlife.org/marysvillewa.

Tommies can’t stop Grizzlies BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The MarysvillePilchuck boys basketball team faced yet another tough opponent in Glacier Peak on Friday, Jan. 12, and finished the game with a difficult 55-35 loss. The Tomahawks have competed against 15 schools and suffered a loss to each of them so far in their regular season, and with only five games left, chances are slim that the team will make it into the postseason. Glacier Peak scored 17 points in the first quarter, perfecting rebounds, fast breaks and good solid passes. MarysvillePilchuck managed seven points in the first quarter, and they seemed a little off with dropped balls, poor passes and missed shots keeping the point differential high. The Tommies kept better pace with the Grizzlies in the second quarter, when they upped their game, both offensively and defensively, blocking shots effectively and taking the time to focus on their passing and shooting. They scored 10 points in the second quarter, while Glacier Peak scored 12. The teams went into half-time with a score of 29-17 for the Grizzlies. The Tomahawks had an opportunity to rally a comeback, but unfortunately the Grizzlies outpaced them in the third and fourth quarters, scoring 12 points in the third to the Tomahawks’ eight points and 14 in the fourth to the Tomahawks’ 10 points. The game finished with a score of 55-35. Marysville-Pilchuck’s 6-foot-3 junior Austin Lobaugh scored 10 points during the game, including two 3-pointers, while 6-foot-2 junior Dante Fields also scored 10 points. Nick Henry, a 6-foot-tall senior, scored four points, while 6-foot-4 sophomore guard Michael Painter scored three points. Conner Martinis, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, scored two points, as did 6-foot-1 senior point guard Dez Ritcheson and 6-foot-6 junior Kaleb Keeton. The Tomahawks now face cross-town rival Marysville Getchell away on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 7 p.m.

Rasmussen reflects on service to Marysville kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Since 2008, Marysville has seen its mayor and four of its seven City Council members either step down or choose not to run again, as other obligations or residency requirements have required them to leave office. Such a mid-term departure was how Carmen Rasmussen herself came into the Marysville City Council in 2005, after the resignation of former Council member Lisa Vares from the Position 7 seat. Although Rasmussen won election to that seat in January of 2008, and a re-election on November of 2011, she resigned from her position on the Council effective Dec. 31, 2012, because of her family’s move outside the Marysville city limits. While she and her husband, Darin, have raised their two children, Andrea and Chris, in Marysville, Darin recently left his own position, as a lieutenant and 22-year veteran with the Marysville Police Department, to accept a new job as assistant chief of campus security at Western

Washington University in Bellingham. While Rasmussen will miss her friends in Marysville, as well as the town she called home, she feels grateful to have left behind a legacy of accomplishments with her fellow Council members, such as completing longplanned transportation improvements — including those to State Avenue, as well as the creation of Ingraham Boulevard and the 156th Street I-5 over-crossing — and economic development projects. “I am also proud of our success in the Healthy Communities initiative,” Rasmussen said of the program that was inspired by the Snohomish Health District naming Marysville the “fattest city” in Snohomish County in December of 2008. She likewise expressed pride in her role in helping to bring about the “Strawberry Fields for Rover” off-leash dog park, and shared what she saw as “the city’s focus on making the community a great place for families to live, including continuing to offer free and low-cost activities for people.” Rasmussen touted not

only her Council’s working relationships with the Tulalip Tribes and the Marysville School District, but also the number of individuals whom she was able to assist with questions and concerns on a more personal level, “to let them know that the city really cares about the everyday issues facing our citizens.” Rasmussen saw her service on the Marysville Healthy Communities Leadership Committee and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board as simply part of the same spirit that led her to sign onto the Council in the first place. “My goal as a member of the Council was to continue to make Marysville a great place to live, raise a family and build a sense of community and connection for all of our citizens,” Rasmussen said. “While those seem like goals you never achieve but continually strive for, I do feel like I was able to make a difference, and that is very satisfying and humbling.” Rasmussen expressed her gratitude to both government and citizens of Marysville for allowing her the opportunity to serve and

Free whooping cough, flu vaccination clinics scheduled 2-6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 26, at the Comcast Arena, located at 2000 Hewitt Ave. This clinic is sponsored by the South EverettMukilteo Rotary Club and coincides with a free skating event for the public in the main ice rink. The Snohomish Health District will provide 200 doses of adult flu vaccine and 200 doses of adult whooping cough vaccine, also called Tdap, at the WorkSource event, and 300 doses of each at the

Comcast clinic. Washing hands, covering your coughs and staying home when you are sick are effective ways to reduce spreading and getting diseases. The best way to prevent illness is vaccination. The flu season in Snohomish County is proving to be more severe than usual. Three adults in the county have died from flu complications in the past several weeks. Getting a current flu shot

is the best way to protect yourself and others. Everyone 6 months and older should get a shot every year, since the flu vaccine changes to match the most common illnesses. Vaccination is also the best protection against whooping cough. Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, is no longer at epidemic levels in Snohomish County, but cases of it are still being confirmed and it can still be deadly to babies.

All adults who have not had a whooping cough booster shot should get one. It is especially important that all pregnant women and people, including teens, who are around newborns get the booster shot to protect infants.

I love to talk about anything & also talk a lot when I'm nervous. I also love attention. I should be in a quieter home environment & would like one with children above the age of twelve.

Name: Toby Animal ID: 18850640 Breed: Toy Fox Terrier/Mix Age: 10 Years Gender: Male Color: White/Tan/Golden Spayed/Neutered: Yes This little guy is in need of a nice lap to sit on. He loves to go for walks every day & ride in the car. A little timid at first but he will blossom. (Probably no small children). He was a stray, so we don't know how he does w/other pets. Another dog may be a great buddy for him to have & should come down to meet him. He is very calm & will make a great dog for any living situation.

All animals adopted from EAS are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas. All cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
