MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC seemed to be feeling a bit of a home field advantage at the Olympic Division Northwest Drill and Rifle Competition at the M-PHS campus on Feb. 23.

The M-PHS NJROTC walked away with sixth place in the physical fitness evaluations for male JROTC cadets, as well as fourth place in Color Guard 1, the unarmed drill down, the dual armed exhibition drill and the physical fitness evaluations for female JROTC cadets, while also taking third place in the armed drill down. Marysville scored even higher in the unarmed and armed drills prior to the drill downs, taking second place for their armed drill team, and first

place not only for their armed drill team commander, but also their unarmed drill team and commander.

As a result, the M-PHS NJROTC will be represented in the regional competition later this year, in the categories of Color Guard 1, physical fitness evaluations, armed drills and unarmed drills, with Marysville earning the distinction of division champions in the latter category on Feb. 23.

Perhaps not surprisingly, many of the M-PHS NJROTC cadets were initially drawn to the organization due to their own families’ histories of military service, although some simply found that the program struck their fancy.

However, all the cadets who were interviewed agreed that the military aspect of JROTC is only one component of a SEE JROTC , PAGE 2

Norton appointed to City Council

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Kamille Norton was appointed to serve in the Position 7 seat on the Marysville City Council during the Council’s Feb. 25 meeting, after she and eight other candidates for the position were interviewed by the existing six Council members that same evening.

During the Feb. 11 City Council meeting, at which Norton and her fellow Council candidates introduced themselves to the Council and the members of the general public in attendance, she described herself as “a mom who cares about her community and her children,”

with passions for “liberties and sound fiscal policy.”

Norton is an active community volunteer who serves on the city’s Civil Service Commission and Salary Commission, and is director and founder of Marysville Select Girls Basketball.

During the Feb. 25 City Council meeting, Norton and her fellow Council candidates were sequestered until they could receive the same questions that each Council member asked each candidate, starting with Steve Muller, who asked Norton whether she’d ever been part of a group decision in which the majority of the group did not share SEE NORTON, PAGE 2

is only one component of a group whose activities in Marysville have seen them volunteering in avenues ranging from taking up paintbrushes to clean up graffiti in the city’s neighborhoods, to escorting clients of the Marysville Community Food Bank through their shopping lines during especially high-traffic times of the year.

“JROTC opens up gateways,” said Cadet Lt. j.g.

Dylan Ahola, a senior in his fourth year with the team. “It instills in you a sense of servitude to your community, citizenship and loyalty.”

Ahola’s father just recently retired from the United States Navy, while Ahola himself would like to become a

“I have taken part in processes that did not result in decisions that I fully supported,” Norton said. “Even if the majority doesn’t agree with you, you have to respect the process.”

When Michael Stevens asked Norton how she hoped to fulfill the city’s vision statement of Marysville as a play to live, work and play, Norton promised to preserve the community’s quality of life, which her own children enjoy through city Recreation Department

Naval aviator, but he emphasized that “JROTC helps you out even if you don’t go into the Navy, because whether you go into another branch of service, or into college or technical school, the lessons you learn here will serve you well for life.”

Cadet Lt. j.g. Joshua Buchanan, the current acting executive officer of the M-PHS NJROTC, echoed Ahola in touting the group’s benefits to the broader community. Aside from an uncle who served in the Army, he had no real prior connection to the service, aside from finding the military interesting when he was a kid, but like Cadet Lt. Cmdr. Angenica Corpuz, the current acting commanding officer of the M-PHS NJROTC, he’s found a kinship and a camaraderie within the ranks of his fellow

cadets.

“My dad was in the Navy, so I grew up with it even before my sister joined the JROTC here,” said Corpuz, a junior in her second year with the program. “Being part of the JROTC requires a lot of commitment, but it’s like an extended family.

Our classroom has become a second home for us, to the point that we don’t want to leave,” she laughed.

Retired Navy Cmdr.

Randy Brasfield thanked not only the judges of the competition — including Army and Navy recruiters, the Marines of Whidbey Island, and the midshipmen of the University of Washington Naval ROTC — but also the parents of the JROTC cadets, whom he estimated devote at least as many hours to the organization as their kids.

activities ranging from Touch-A-Truck to the Easter Egg Hunt.

Norton told Jeff Seibert that the primary economic issue facing Marysville in the coming year is the city’s efforts to make itself more attractive to businesses, and to that end, Norton told Donna Wright that she was not inclined to support the business and occupation tax.

“I think your hearts are in the right place,” Norton said when Jeff Vaughan asked her opinion of the current City Council.

While Norton was one of four nominees — alongside Scott Allen, Roger Hoen and Iris Lilly — out

of the nine Council candidates, Norton received the votes of Muller, Seibert, Wright, Vaughan and fellow Council member Rob Toyer, while Stevens voted for Allen, thereby giving Norton more than the fourvote majority she needed to be appointed. The final vote to approve Norton’s appointment was unanimous among all six existing Council members.

Norton will need to file for office in the next general municipal elections in November if she wishes to retain her seat, and if elected she would fulfill the remainder of the four-year term of the position which ends on Dec. 31, 2015.

Counterfeit money Cedar Grove faces circulating in Arlington class action lawsuits

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — From Jan. 15 to Feb. 21, the Arlington Police Department has recorded seven incidents of counterfeit money being passed at local businesses.

These incidents have been occurring throughout the city of Arlington, including Island Crossing, Smokey Point and the businesses at and around the intersection of Highway 9

and 204th Street.

Arlington city officials report that most of the counterfeit money has been in the form of fake $20 bills, although a fake $50 bill and a fake $100 bill have also been passed.

Arlington Police Cmdr.

Brian DeWitt provided a list of indicators that people should keep an eye out for.

“Signs to look for in counterfeit bills would include duplicate serial numbers, a lack of watermarks or tags in the paper, if the paper

feels funny or its ink seems slightly different, or if it doesn’t have some of the standard security features such as holograms,” DeWitt said.

The United States Secret Service website at w w w. s ec ret s e r v i ce . g ov / know_your_money.shtml is designed to help people detect counterfeit currency.

The Arlington Police Department urges you to call 911 immediately if you suspect a fake bill has been passed at your business.

Prior to showtime, Arlington Relay For Life vendors will be selling products and providing refreshments in the lobby, the proceeds of which will go exclusively to Relay For Life.

“We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with Relay,” AHS drama teacher Scott Moberly said.

“It’s an excellent cause and we’re looking forward to filling the Performing Arts Center with audience members who enjoy great musical theater and want to join in the fight against cancer.”

Moberly added that fully half of the proceeds from this performance will be donated to Relay For Life.

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School’s theatrical production of “Legally Blonde” has partnered with the Arlington Relay For Life to support the American Cancer Society through a special matinee performance on Saturday, March 9, at 1 p.m.

Attendees are encouraged to wear pink to represent the Relay For Life’s fight against cancer, and also to coordinate with the fash-

Two class actions have been filed against Cedar Grove alleging that its Everett and Maple Valley composting facilities create noxious odors that interfere with neighboring residents’ ability to use and enjoy their property. These odors have allegedly created such a stench that even normal use of their property, like birthday or holiday parties and outdoor barbecues and gatherings, has been intolerable.

Unlike the lawsuits that were previously filed on behalf of specific groups of residents, the two cases filed Feb. 13 by the law offices of Michael Withey and Macuga, Liddle & Dubin seek class action status on behalf of thousands of residents, and demand that Cedar Grove install the equipment necessary to eliminate the stench.

The class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of all residents within a four-mile radius of either facility. The cases seek compensation for the nuisance allegedly created by the odors and for any neg-

ative impact the odors have had on property values. The lawsuits also seek to change the way Cedar Grove operates both facilities, to eliminate their alleged emission of odors into the surrounding neighborhoods. The class action complaints seek a cessation of the odors, because they claim that Cedar Grove has refused to eliminate the noxious odors, despite the fact that thousands of complaints have been lodged regarding the odors and the state has fined the facilities in excess of $100,000.

“We know from our investigation that these odors are not merely affecting a small group of residents,” said Michael Withey, one of the attorneys handling the case.

“There are potentially thousands of homeowners who have suffered daily from these odors, and our clients want Cedar Grove to act now to fix the problems at both facilities for everyone who is being affected. The community demands no less.”

According to the complaints, Cedar Grove’s Everett

3

and Maple Valley facilities are among the largest composting facilities in the region, with each site taking in yard waste and leftover food, which they then grind and stack into mounds of compost, which is in turn bagged and sold.

The complaints allege that, in recent years, as the quantities of compost have increased and/or changed, the odor and emissions have become worse.

Susan Thoman, director of public affairs and communications for Cedar Grove, offered the following comments on Feb. 13: “At this hour, we have not been served the complaints, and first obtained copies of the complaints via a media contact. With that, we have not had time to review the documents yet. We are committed to being a good neighbor and a valued asset in the communities where we operate.”

Affected residents who are interested in learning more about the lawsuits are being urged to contact the law firms at 800-698-4054.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where is the personal responsibility?

“The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts, bestowed for the good of the county (sic), and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.”—John C. Calhoun: Speech, July 13, 1835.

Is it too much to ask that our elected county office holders simply do the job they were elected to do? I read the past articles and letters to the editor regarding the activities of various county employees and the County Executive and all sorts of “cloak and dagger” emailing, FOI requests, and smooth– talking non-answers regarding all this activity and wonder why they aren’t simply doing the work of the county and nothing more or less and regarding their public office as an opportunity to uphold it with dignity, honesty and integrity?

At some point, the over 700,000 citizens of Snohomish County deserve much better leadership than one which is constantly avoiding investigation. As Mr. Calhoun so aptly states, a public office is a public trust and therefore should not benefit an individual or a party, and yet, all of these alleged activities by the Executive and his employees seem to be only protecting a person from public exposure. If a wise person didn’t want “distasteful public exposure” then he would simply not be in any way associated with “distasteful activities” or put himself in the “public trust.”

So, my question is what have these individuals actually done

to benefit the county? And, if they have so much extra time on their hands to be able to play their alleged “cloak and dagger” games of political intrigue, then maybe we, as the taxpaying citizens who pay all these salaries and benefits, need to demand a review of the county’s employment needs more closely.

To the voting public: please make sure when you vote for someone that the person has the personal characteristics which make a trustworthy public servant.

Name the new city park after Norma Jean Dierk We understand that the city of Marysville has acquired the property that was once the tree farm belonging to the Dashiell family. This will be a welcome addition to our city parks.

A real estate acquisition like this takes a great deal of work. Thank you to Norma Jean Dierk for recognizing the potential of the property years ago, and to everyone who helped in the long process of getting the needed grants approved.

One important piece of our community identity is an awareness of the history of our shared spaces. In order to recognize this history, we feel the city should commemorate the original owners by naming the new park after the Dashiell family.

Pain at the pump

ave you noticed what’s happening to gas prices? Even with discounts at Costco, Safeway or Freddy’s it’s scary. On Feb. 21 the Fourth Street Shell and Standard posted $3.79 for regular, the same as the Grove Street Union 76. Tulalip’s Chevron megastation was low at $3.66 per gallon.

The price of gasoline invaded a conversation in the Y locker room the other day. Frank kicked it off by asking, “Why is it that we pay 40 cents more per gallon than they do in Spokane?” Everyone had an opinion. Every opinion was different. It bugs me when there’s no apparent cause behind a real issue so I went to work.

If you’re following this issue, you know that there’s no end to the theories. Jacqueline Leo of Financial Times wrote, “U.S. refineries are switching over from winter to summer fuel, which is more expensive to produce.” But that doesn’t explain the difference between Seattle and Spokane.

A McClatchy editorial blamed speculators in the energy market.

“Like locusts ravaging fertile crops, gasoline prices are soaring again and eating away at purchasing power of ordinary Americans.” Still no light shed on the Seattle-Spokane difference.

Oil Analyst Fadel Gheif focused blame on the “possible” disruption of the Middle East oil supply. Others say Wall Street has taken over the market to control supply and demand. No one, it seems, is willing to tell us why the pricing of gasoline isn’t more even across the map.

Is it because of the location of refineries? No, because gas sold near the Ferndale refinery is notoriously high-priced. Is it cheaper near transportation hubs? No, because prices in heavily populated rail centers are typically somewhat higher. Is it local gas taxes? No, there aren’t any yet but soon might be. Then what’s going on?

I asked myself, how is Spokane different from Seattle? It’s higher

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

and drier, but that shouldn’t count for anything. It’s a smaller market so, according to economies of scale, Seattle should have cheaper gas. No help there. Could Spokane’s abundant sunshine have something to do with it? Not likely. But what about the political difference? Spokane is staunchly conservative while Seattle is Democratic to the core.

Could politics really have anything to do with it? It seemed worth looking into since money and politics are so intertwined that stepping on one causes the other to complain. I started by pulling up the Washington Post’s votingresults map that paints Democrat and Republican strongholds in blue and red. Some states are covered with one color while others, like Washington, are divided. Then I accessed the GasBuddy.com site that lists current average gas prices for all states and about 165 cities.

When the average of 10 totally Blue states was compared with 10 all-Red states, Blue state drivers spent $3.835 per gallon against $3.547 for Red states for a $0.288 per gallon advantage for the Reds.

In no case was Blue-state gas less expensive than Red. Interesting, but the results fall so far short of a scientific study that they must be taken as nothing more than ... interesting.

Next, I looked at split-states, like Washington where the west votes Democratic and the east is Republican. My question was, do gas-pricing comparisons for Republican vs. Democratic cities in states other than Washington behave as they do for Seattle and Spokane?

Working with the GasBuddy data for cities, I paired seven random Blue cities with seven random Red cities.

(Only seven states on the red-blue map seemed conveniently split to allow this.) Blue cities are shown first, followed by Reds: WA: Seattle $3.749 vs. Spokane $3.336 IL: Chicago $4.105 vs. Peoria $3.857 TX: Austin $3.620 vs. El Paso $3.419 CA: San Francisco $4.205 vs.

Fresno $4.074 IA: Cedar Rapids $3.750 vs. Sioux City $$3.701 AZ: Phoenix $3.619 vs. Flagstaff $3.622 NY: New York City $4.052 vs.

Syracuse $3.933 Even considering oddball Arizona, Blue cities are charged 16.5 cents more per gallon than Reds.

That difference isn’t as profound as the 28.8 cents per gallon when comparing entire states but the rough consistency makes one wonder. Has politics intruded on gas pricing or have I stumbled upon an amazing run of coincidence? I leave it to you.

See what you come up with using sources of your own choosing.

Granted, it was a struggle to stay objective here. A friend once accused me of leaning so far left that I walk in counterclockwise circles, By that measure, Big Oil leans so far right that it orbits clockwise. The politically neutral question becomes, is gas pricing immune to ideological differences?

The type of results shown above could only happen with petroleum products because petroleum is the only industry that’s vertically integrated from subterranean oil pools to the gas in your tank. When all that falls within one business plan, look out!

I have to admit that linking power politics with selective gas pricing is a pretty wild idea. On the other hand, Big Oil does have the clout and tools to do just that, if it wants to.

Gold’s Gyms in Arlington, Marysville close

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The Gold’s Gym locations at Arlington and Marysville had their workouts interrupted on Feb. 19 when crews of movers arrived, with Snohomish County Sheriff ’s deputies in tow, to

remove the facilities’ equipment per a writ of execution.

“It was a civil action in which legal action was taken by another agency,” said Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office. “We were asked to be there to provide

security.”

According to documents from Snohomish County Superior Court, Whidbey Island Bank won a judgment in December of last year against Mike Moody and M&M Fitness, the owners of the Gold’s Gyms in Arlington and Marysville, who had defaulted on a

loan worth more than $1 million and had put up the equipment at the two locations’ facilities as collateral.

While no one answered the phone at either the Gold’s Gym at 3131 Smokey Point Dr. in Arlington or the one at 1052 State Ave. in Marysville, Gold’s Gym Vice President of Communications Dave Reiseman issued a statement to the press that Gold’s Gym had just been made aware that same day of the closings of the independently owned and operated facilities at the

Arlington and Marysville locations.

Although Reiseman was quick to note that Gold’s Gym still has nine longestablished facilities in the Seattle area whose operations will be unaffected by the Arlington and Marysville locations closing until further notice, commenters on the Arlington Gold’s Gym Facebook page had already begun sharing non-Gold’s Gym fitness options, amidst their criticisms of the closures, before that site was subsequently shut down.

As near as Francis Kyle can tell, he and his fellow members of the Gold’s Gym in Marysville are facing the possibilities of either a civil suit in small claims court at the Snohomish County Courthouse, or hoping for a class action suit in which they can take part.

“I really, really hope to not go the small claims route,” Kyle said. “I’m just wanting my remaining balance of $250 or so back in my thin wallet. This is a new experience for me. I want it over with cleanly and quickly.”

Robert Tristan McCoy June 28, 1952 — February 14, 2013

Moving crews remove the equipment from the Gold’s Gym located at 1052 State Ave. in Marysville.

Robert Tristan McCoy of Chewelah, WA passed away unexpectedly on February 14, 2013. He was born June 28, 1952 in Boston, Massachusetts to Robert McCoy Jr. and June McCoy. He was preceded in death by his father, mother and stepfather; Manuel Mundeschank.

He is survived by his wife of 28 years Lisa M. McCoy and his mother-in-law Donna LeBaron of Chewelah, WA. He is also survived by his three sons; Cord McCoy and wife Jessica McCoy of Vilseck, GE; Marshall McCoy and wife Marisa McCoy of Marysville, WA

and Will McCoy of Irvine, CA and two granddaughters Eva and Emmelia McCoy of Marysville, WA. Robert Tristan McCoy was raised in Lake Tahoe, CA during most of his childhood. He graduated from Truckee High School

in Truckee, CA in 1969.

He became a logger and eventually started a successful logging company in Arlington, WA. He was known for being passionate and proud of his profession, never apologetic to voice his views; especially to those who did not share them.

His family mattered most to him. He deeply loved his wife, children and grandchildren more than anything. All of his friends and family can attest to his unique humor which could be worrisome and extremely entertaining at the same time.

Soroptimists, PTA Council host forum on combating sex trafficking

MARYSVILLE — As part of their mission to improve the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.

Soroptimist International of Marysville is working to educate Snohomish County about the sexual exploitation of youth, from child sex trafficking to the coercion, abuse and exploitation of children and teens.

“Sex trafficking is the second largest and fastest growing criminal indus-

try in the world,” said Renae James, president of Soroptimist International of Marysville. “We need to let our community know about it, because knowledge is power, and because trafficking is happening right here in Snohomish County.”

Soroptimist International of Marysville and the Marysville PTA Council are again partnering to conduct a community awareness event on combating

sex trafficking from 7-9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5, in the Marysville-Pilchuck High School auditorium, located at 5611 108th St. NE. “The goal of this event is to have teenagers and their parents attend and learn together how our young people are falling prey to these traffickers, and how to see the warning signs,” said James, who noted that the evening’s speakers are set to include

members of law enforcement, counselors and possibly even victims of trafficking, each of whom possess firsthand, local knowledge of this problem. “Perpetrators prey on the most weak among us, primarily women and children, for profit and gain. They lure victims into involuntary servitude and sexual slavery.”

The evening’s program will also include a short video, followed by a ques-

tion-and-answer session with the speakers. While this event is primarily targeted toward teenagers and their parents, James hopes to see other adults in the community in attendance as well, to raise awareness of how this problem impacts not only young people and their families, but also their surrounding community as a whole.

Fuerza FC girls to play in WA Premier

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Fuerza Futebol Clube U14 girls soccer team has been promoted to the highest level of select play in the state as a part of the Washington State Premier League, and will begin playing at that level next fall.

“This is a great group of kids. They train really hard.

They will continue to play this season in the Puget Sound Premier League, but next year they will play as Washington State Premier League,” said head coach Tony Carillo. “Since they

got promoted up and they are now one the top eight teams in the state.”

The majority of the girls on the team have been playing together for three years and come from Arlington, Marysville and surrounding areas.

“In 2011 we started out with two teams at Casino Road,” said Carillo. “We offer a low-cost alternative for lower income players who want to play at a high level but can’t afford some of the other select teams.

To keep costs down we have no paid coaches and usually practice in the Marysville

School District, often at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. It’s grown quite a bit since we first started.”

The normal season starts in the fall, usually around September and continues until mid-December. After a winter break, the teams start again in spring, usually in February.

“They have won several tournaments, like the Blast Off Tournament in Federal Way and the Sky River Tournament in Monroe,” said Carillo.

Courtney Miles has been playing soccer since she was 6 years old and loves playing for the Fuerza FC. “I just really like what this club does,” she said. “I feel like I have grown a lot over the years, especially playing with Fuerza, and I’ve improved on technical skills and playing together as a team.”

Miles was quick to thank her coaches. “They’ve helped me a lot. They focus on development of the players and make sure you improve,

not necessarily focusing on winning,” she said. “I’m looking forward to playing for the Washington Premier League.”

Miles’ mom, Megan Miles, is glad her daughter is playing for such a good team.

“The whole organization is focused on the kids, focused on making them better soccer players and better people,” she said.

“Winning is a good byproduct but they are definitely focused on the development of the person.”

Courtney Arnold is a center-mid for the team and likes playing for Fuerza because of the level of competition.

“It’s a higher level of team.

Everyone is really great and the coaches are really supportive,” she said.

Arnold isn’t surprised that her team was promoted to a higher level.

“I am not surprised at all.

We’ve been training really hard to get up there. We practice four times a week,” she said.

Jensen Corbett, another member of the team, agrees.

“We do a lot of training and we work really hard,” said Corbett, who likes playing for Fuerza because they gave her time to work on field skills. “When we first won the state cup it was really exciting and I’m glad that we can be more challenged. I’m excited to see how it turns out.”

Arnold is looking forward to this spring’s state competition as well.

“Hopefully we will win the state cup this year. We’ve been working on a lot of things like minimal touches, diagonal passes and teaching the ball on the ground.

Our coaches are awesome and really help you work through everything,” said Arnold.

The state cup qualifiers are April 13-14 and the tournament can end as late as May 3-5.

Cougars’ Nelson places in top eight

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The 2013 Mat Classic XXV State Wrestling Tournament was a success for the Lakewood wrestling team which qualified five athletes for the event, with one of those five placing in seventh place.

Drake Mostellar, Jeff Harrison, Tristan Nelson, Tommie Mostellar and Allyson Lawton all made the trip to the Tacoma Dome on Feb. 15-16, but it was Nelson, a junior, who finished out his season in seventh place for the 285 pound weight class.

“This is my fifth year wrestling,” said Nelson. “I went to state as an alternate last year. I really wanted to wrestle on the mat and feel what that felt like so that was my goal all year — to wrestle at state.”

Although Nelson was the only Cougar wrestler to place, he wasn’t 100 percent certain that he would make it that far.

“I was sick there for a little bit and I was scared,” he

said. “I try to keep it at one round at a time and I try not to get ahead of myself.”

His mid-season illness kept him from several meets and he only participated in 12 matches all year.

“He is a great kid,” said head coach Tom O’Hara.

“This season’s been a little rough between a sinus infection and a hip problem.

He’s only had 12 matches all season, so for him to get to state and place is great.”

Since Nelson is a junior, he has one more year ahead of him to wrestle for Lakewood.

“He’s always had promise, he’s always had strength,” said O’Hara. “Ultimately it just comes down to how he goes out for a match and where his mental state is. I want him to wrestle smart.

If he’s top seven now, I hope he can make it to the top four next year.”

In his first match at state, Nelson lost to Olympic sophomore Umu Timoteo.

He faced Timoteo again when wrestling for seventh and eighth place, and this

time Nelson pinned him.

“That’s a real accomplishment, to come back and pin someone who pinned you,” said O’Hara. “He is a great kid who works hard during practice and listens to his coaches. There is not a person on the team who doesn’t love Tristan.”

Nelson is a three-sport athlete for the Cougars, who competed at the state track and field meet last spring and the state football tournament last fall. He is looking forward to making it to state for shot put and discus this year.

“I want to thank my coaches and my team,” he said. “They provide a lot of support, and my coaches are always cheering me on.”

O’Hara is proud of what Nelson has accomplished.

“Even though he is a junior, he is still a leader.

Next year, instead of leading by example, he is going to have to take a more active leadership role,” he said.

“He worked hard, he got somewhere and I’m proud of him.”

Chandler updates Chamber on state legislature

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

originally introduced as a temporary tax,” Chandler said.

Chandler noted that the state legislature is currently considering “more bills than I’ve ever seen” on education, raising questions about whether schools should be graded on an A-through-F scale, whether the state should take over “failing” schools, and whether such schools should be run as nonprofit or charter schools.

“The [state Supreme Court’s] McCleary versus Washington decision was not all about raising taxes, as Sen. [Bruce] Dammeier pointed out,” Chandler said.

“It was also about making fundamental reforms to how the system serves our students, so that we’re not just pouring more money into an outmoded system.”

Chandler added that the Association of Washington Business is running legislation to preempt the conditions of “Seattle sick leave,” under which employees who spend more than 240 hours a year in Seattle as part of their jobs are entitled to benefits such as sick leave for doing so, even if their employers are not based in Seattle.

“Our bill proposed that only Seattle-based businesses should have to comply with that condition,” Chandler said. “Especially for truckers coming from eastern Washington, those hours can add up.”

One area in which Chandler was not opposed to new revenue was generating funds for transportation infrastructure, for which he supported a 10-cent gas tax increase, spaced out to increase 2 cents every year over the course of five years, as well as fees of $100 per electric car and taxes on bicycles costing more than $500.

“Nobody likes new taxes, but if we don’t invest in our roads, they will crumble,” Chandler said. “We’ll also be seeing more toll roads than we could ever want to have.

As our vehicles are getting more and more efficient, the revenues from gas taxes are going away. They’ve dropped every year.”

Gary Chandler, vice president of government affairs for the Association of Washington Business, praised the ‘bipartisan’ state Senate, as well as Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers, for their efforts to promote the cause of business in Olympia.

TULALIP — Gary Chandler, vice president of government affairs for the Association of Washington Business, sounded a note of mixed optimism as he delivered a legislative update to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 22, complimenting what he deemed a “bipartisan” state Senate, while still dismissing many of its processes as futile.

“We’re probably going to get a lot of good things from the Senate that die in the House, and a lot of bad things from the House that die in the Senate,” Chandler said. “Washington is not a competitive state. Between state and local taxes and unemployment insurance, our businesses are paying 58 percent of those taxes, a higher percentage than California, Idaho, Oregon or Texas. The question we need to answer is, why would businesses want to come to Washington?”

Chandler praised Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers for their roles in promoting the state House Bill 1443, sponsored by Republican state Rep. Mike Hope and Democratic state Rep. Mike Sells, which would provide property tax exemptions for the value of new construction of industrial

and manufacturing facilities in targeted urban areas.

“We need to nurture the businesses we have while welcoming new business,” said Chandler, who believes the state legislature’s top three priorities should be creating jobs, developing “a worldclass educational system” and crafting a sustainable budget with no new revenue.

“This bipartisan coalition is very fiscally and educationminded, and they’ll have the power to appoint chairs for a number of committees which direct legislation.

Those chairs will be open to listening to a number of ideas, which has not normally been done.”

Chandler believes that getting more citizens employed will encourage them to spend more money, which in turn will benefit the market, and to that end, he hopes to see Washington’s education system begin to train its students to be employable after graduation “for the jobs of today.”

Chandler expressed his frustration at seeing another bill proposing a state income tax, since “the public has spoken with a very clear ‘no’ on this issue,” and he criticized what he sees as the deceptiveness of certain tax packages, both those already made into law and those currently under consideration, for “supposedly going away, except for the parts that don’t.”

“The state B&O tax was

Green Acres is open for business

Wilson. “I think indoor gardens help people grow their plants all year round.”

Green Acres sells lighting, nutrients, ventilation, propagation, organic pesticides, soil, CO2, ladybugs, starts and hydroponic supplies. They are also excited to start selling supplies for ponds.

“Within the first four months we had to expand,” said Wheeler. “We started on the one side and took down the wall to make one big space.”

The most popular plants that they see people interested in growing are tomatoes and avocados.

“The community has embraced us like no other,” Jutte-Curtis said. “We’ve got a lot of ideas for things in motion.”

As a store on State Avenue in downtown Marysville, Green Acres has been involved in the Strawberry Festival and Merrysville for the Holidays parades.

MARYSVILLE — The ownership team of Green Acres Indoor Garden & Hydroponics supply store are hoping to tell the people of Marysville that anyone can garden, and they are here to help.

Stephanie Jutte-Curtis, Adam Curtis and Holly Wheeler are co-owners of the store, which opened in April of last year, with store manager Courtney Wilson completing the team.

“I took horticulture in school but didn’t really know that’s what I wanted to do,” said Jutte-Curtis, who emphasized all the benefits of indoor gardening and growing your own vegetables. “There is no wrong way to garden, you just have to get started. Plus it’s fun.”

Indoor gardening has grown in popularity since the recent demand for organically grown food.

“Growing organically is really important. It’s food that’s going on your table

and if you grow it, you know exactly where it came from,” said Wheeler. “A lot of people are steering away from hormones. I think that’s why natural food stores like Trader Joe’s are booming.”

“It’s scary because you hear all the time about them recalling 11,000 bags of lettuce, for example, and usually you don’t hear about the recall until after the food has already been eaten,” said Wilson.

Wheeler noted that another benefit of gardening is that it helps you keep a healthy lifestyle and eat more vegetables.

“We all have kids, and when you get kids out there growing things, they want to eat more vegetables because they grew them on their own,” said Wheeler.

Another reason why indoor gardening is gaining popularity is because it helps extend the growing season for regions, like the Pacific Northwest, that do not get a lot of sun.

“It can be really hard in this area to grow stuff,” said

Superintendent search continues

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Feb. 11 was the Marysville School District’s deadline to solicit community input on its search for a new superintendent, and members of the MSD Board of Directors sat down with Dr. Wayne Robertson of Northwest Leadership Associates to try and quantify the hundreds of responses, most of them from parents and teachers, that the school district had received to survey forms that the district had printed out and posted online.

“Although we sought to categorize the comments by how frequently each one was offered, we admit that this is subjective, since we’re deciding if people have said the same things in different ways,” Robertson said. “We also knew we wanted to adjust our application and selection criteria depending on the input we received.

That being said, there were no real surprises in the responses we received.”

Robertson noted that a number of respondents expressed concerns with responding properly to the district’s diversity, and while he deemed residency for the new superintendent to be “a mixed bag,” criteria such as longevity, visibility and accessibility “were high on everybody’s lists.”

Robertson explained that the online job listings for the Marysville School District superintendent would soon be amended to reflect the community’s priorities, and pointed out that candidates still have roughly a month to submit or revise their applications.

“So, should we insist that applicants be willing to live in the community, or be visible in the community, or both?” outgoing MSD Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland said. “Because nobody told me I had to move here. I just knew that, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t survive in this job.”

“If they’re not willing to make that effort, a lot could be read into that,” Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller said. “That could impact how people vote on bonds and levies.”

Board President Chris Nation summed up the survey responses as asking for a candidate “who’s onehalf educational leader and one-half financial wizard,” at the same time that he

asked whether experience in passing bonds and levies should be made an explicit criterion, since the survey results were vague on that point.

“We don’t want to make it seem like that’s all we care about, though,” Board member Cindy Erickson said.

“If they know our his-

tory, they’ll think to bring it up themselves,” Board Vice President Wendy Fryberg said.

Even with the input from the surveys, the Board will need to do some prioritization of its own, since as Robertson observed, “There’s an eight-way tie just for the number-one criterion on our list.”
