MARYSVILLE — For the past three years, Suzanne Carpenter has been stocking donated books and magazines on the shelves of a small shopping area near the entrance of the Marysville Library, and like Shirley McRae, who’s been shopping at the Friends of the Marysville Library’s Book Sale area since she first moved to town nearly a decade ago, Carpenter considers it an overlooked treasure.

“I’ll get this little boy who

comes in asking if we have any books on dinosaurs, and even if I know we don’t, I’ll check the shelves anyway, to make him feel important,” Carpenter laughed. “One man comes by just about every Saturday looking for Westerns. People are on the hunt for books that are out of print in the genres that they like.”

“I like any kind of books,” said McRae, as she stacked a succession of paperbacks in the crook of her arm, one by one. “If I get a whole bunch SEE LIBRARY , PAGE 2

City officials lobby for support for local projects MARYSVILLE — A delegation of Marysville city officials recently went to Washington, D.C., to try and enlist federal legislators’ support for local projects.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and City Council members Donna Wright, Jeff Seibert, Michael Stevens and Rob Toyer met with U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and the staff of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray during the annual National League of Cities Congressional Conference, which took place this year March 9-13.

“Face-to-face meetings with our Congressional

leaders are a critical component of our ongoing efforts to ensure the needed investment in Marysville’s infrastructure, and other needs are clearly known and given proper consideration at the federal level,” said Nehring, who’s made frequent trips to Olympia during the current state legislative session, to testify on behalf of Marysville-sponsored bills and issues that impact the community.

The Marysville city officials’ highest priority in their lobbying efforts was to inform Washington state’s SEE LOBBY, PAGE 2

LOBBY FROM PAGE 1 Congressional delegation about key regional transportation infrastructure projects that will need state and federal funding in order to move forward, as well as to underscore how vital these projects are for Marysville and the surrounding region. Among the potential projects discussed during the conference were the expansions of the interchanges for not only 116th Street NE and Interstate 5, but also State Route 529 and I-5, in addition to on- and off-ramps for the 156th Street and I-5 overpass.

Marysville representatives also took time during their visit to the nation’s capitol to address federal Community Development Block Grants and public safety items. The city of Marysville became eligible to administer CDBG funds in 2012, to address local priority housing and community development needs that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income individuals. That same year the city awarded $217,914 in assistance to homeless and senior housing programs, food programs, domestic violence services, and improvements to the local Boys & Girls Club.

The city delegation also cited the need for Justice Department grants to help Marysville Police add more School Resource Officers in schools, just as fire and emergency response grants enabled the hiring-back of three firefighters to the Marysville Fire District.

Nehring even joined a small group of elected officials to discuss the coal exports issue with a deputy undersecretary of Transportation, arguing the need for mitigation and grade separation in Marysville.

LIBRARY FROM PAGE 1 today, though, I probably won’t be back for another two weeks.

I love the variety they have in stock here.”

Marysville Library Managing Librarian Eric Spencer explained that the Friends of the Marysville Library’s Book Sale area has between four and five volunteers available to sort through a steady stream of between 20-40 cases of books each week, with each case containing about 30-50 books.

“The volunteers help determine what gets included in the Book Sale area,” Spencer said.

“The rest gets sent to online used book retailers. What we send them tends to be either some of the books that we might get a better price from selling to them, or the books that we just haven’t been able to sell at all here, so it’s kind of both extremes. Even the books that those retailers ultimately decide to recycle still cover the fuel costs of picking up those materials.”

Spencer elaborated that the books they receive run the gamut from spur-of-themoment drop-offs of dusty old paperbacks that spring-cleaners just so happen to discover while rummaging through their attics,

to carefully planned donations from estates.

“Some people hand us off brand-new books that they bought for full price, because they know it will benefit us,” Speer said. “Others are the wellworn perennial favorites, like romance novels. We get everything from long-running serials to contemporary hardbacks, and even if we’d get a better price reselling them to retailers, we actually keep a lot of those right here for our own customers.”

Hardbacks sell for $1 each and paperbacks sell for 50 cents each in the Book Sale area, while children’s paperbacks are all a quarter apiece, the same as magazines. CDs and VHS tapes run for $1 apiece, while DVDs cost $2.

“There’s a real sense of discovery in a used book area, whether it’s people rediscovering old books that they remember enjoying before, or folks taking a chance on something that’s new to them. What’s especially great about those old favorites is that parents who grew up with them will show them to their own kids.”

Spencer and Carpenter agreed that both the Friends of the Marysville Library and its Book Sale area could benefit from more volunteers.

“I’ve lived in Marysville for

If you’re newly retired, or you just want to get out and meet new people, this is the place to be.”

Library help fund author visits, summer reading programs, teen and adult discussion groups, materials to supplement programs and enhance library displays, and The Marysville Globe on microfilm. For more information, call Spencer at 360658-5000, ext. 5020.

School District names Arlington Legion fetes superintendent finalists 94th birthday kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The search for the Marysville School District’s new superintendent is heading into its homestretch, and as he has throughout the process, MSD Board President Chris Nation is encouraging community members to take part in the selection.

The six candidates whom the Marysville School District Board of Directors has selected to move forward to the first round of preliminary interviews on Saturday, March 23, are Dr. Becky Berg, Dr. Carl Bruner, Dr. Tony Byrd, Michelle Curry, Dr. Dennis Haddock and Jon Holmen.

“Each interview should take about an hour and 10 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes,” Nation said. “If we start at 8 a.m., we should be able to wrap it up that Saturday by 5 p.m. If members of the public want to attend and submit feedback to the Board in writing, we’d only ask that they do so for all six candidates, since that’s only fair, but they can drop in

to observe them at any time during the day.”

According to Nation, the Marysville School Board will ask questions of the candidates in the MSD Service Center Board room, and narrow the selection from six semifinalists to three finalists that evening, based on those interviews, so that the three days of finalist candidates’ interviews and visits to the district — from Monday, March 25, through Wednesday, March 27 — will devote one full day to each candidate.

Marysville School District staff, parents, students and community members will be able to meet each day’s candidate during open forums scheduled at 11 a.m., 4:15 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., again in the MSD Service Center Board room.

In the wake of the applicants’ files being screened on March 15, Nation reiterated the Marysville School District’s commitment to conducting its superintendent selection process as transparently as possible.

“This is not just the decision of the Board, but of the community as a whole,” Nation said. “We wanted to make sure that the community and school district staff were involved in this process, because the new superintendent will be a leader to both, hopefully for years to come. Through observation and feedback, we hope the community will help us choose a superintendent who fits the needs of our community, because if that person doesn’t understand our relationships, especially with the Tulalip Tribes, they might not get done what’s needed. Everyone has to be on board for this.”

The Marysville School District Service Center Board room is located at 4220 80th St. NE. The full schedule for the candidate visitations is posted on the MSD website at www.msvl. k12.wa.us. For more information on the search process, contact Jodi Runyon by phone at 360-653-0800 or via email at jodi_runyon@ msvl.k12.wa.us.

ARLINGTON — Arlington American Legion Post 76 celebrated the Legion’s 94th birthday on March 16 by looking not only to its organization’s founding in the wake of World War I in 1919, but also to its future, in the form of the Legion’s support of the Boy Scouts of America since its founding.

Post 76 Cmdr. Christian Raboin called up two recently appointed Eagle Scouts, Blake DiPietro and Kevin Emery, whose service projects as part of local Boy Scouts of America Troop 92 were deemed beneficial to the community as a whole.

“We greatly appreciate that you’ve helped us get ourselves out there into the community,” said DiPietro, who spearheaded the construction of eight picnic tables in the Country Charm area.

“I’ve had experiences that I wouldn’t have had without this program, and they’ve made me a better man and a better citizen of the United States.”

“The Boy Scouts have

Raboin then presented an honorary lifetime mem-

bership in Post 76 to Floyd Tanner, an Air Force veteran from 1950-54, and a certificate of appreciation to Marv Jackson, the son of a World War II veteran, for their efforts on behalf of the post.

“I’m happy to help cook dinners here and donate my time to the Legion’s events,” Jackson said. “This is a good organization that does a lot of work.”

Easter Egg Hunts offer family fun

I

f you’re looking for some great family fun, the cities of Arlington and Marysville are teaming up with local sponsors and volunteers to present their annual Easter Egg Hunts on Saturday, March 30.

Marysville’s Easter Egg Hunt, which features more than 10,000 plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes, runs from 10-11 a.m., at Jennings Memorial Park, located at 6915 Armar Road. The Easter Egg Hunt will be separated by age groups and each child may collect up to eight eggs each.

In Arlington, the ever-popular annual Easter Egg Hunt begins at 11 a.m., at the south end of the Arlington Municipal Airport.

There will be thousands of eggs for the children to collect and prizes will be offered in various age categories for children as old as 12 years.

The Easter Bunny is slated to make appearances at both of the Easter Eggs Hunts.

If you can’t make either of the Easter Egg Hunts slated for March 30, or if you just want another opportunity for some family fun, don’t miss the Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt in

Arlington on March 23. The event is for kids of all ages and the $5 cost per person goes to the American Cancer Society.

The Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt will be at Haller Middle School stadium with the gates opening at 8 p.m. Kids 5 years old and younger will hit the field at 8:30 p.m., while at 9 p.m. the lights will be turned off and the field will be open to everyone.

Whichever of the Easter Eggs Hunts you attend, please take some time to thank the organizers, sponsors and volunteers, because without them these fantastic events would not be possible.

Bad air days affect all of us

linics are busy treating flu and the common cold these days — 21 days with treatment, three weeks without. Or longer. Puget Sound’s prolonged temperature inversions trap pollution that makes eyes water, noses stuffy and throats raw. It’s an especially bad season for sinuses.

Being a walking-talking air pollution monitor, I have a good idea about what’s behind it. Any slight drift of something different on the breeze can choke up my breathing apparatus. My sensitivity is such that, should I need a new job, I could work as a Transportation Safety Authority as a baggage sniffer.

I escape socked-in lowlands by hanging out on mountain tops with ski buddies where the rarified air is clear and clean besides offering stunning views across the Cascades.

But, alas, each day among the peak ends with a return to lung-choking lowland murk. My only consolation is that people in other places have it much worse.

China burns half the world’s coal production and for that they pay a horrendous price. Pollution in Chinese cities can top twenty-five times the U.S. legal limit for airborne particulates. Chinese pollution won’t get any better after we send them eighteen trainloads of coal per day.

It wouldn’t be quite so bad if the Chinese kept their pollution at home but with air currents always on the move, China’s problem becomes our problem.

Satellite photos show plumes of Chinese smog hundreds of miles wide streaming eastward toward us.

Tests of local air have proved that a significant part of the pollution we breathe originates in China. Air pollution isn’t a local problem, it is global.

On one hand I accept the globalization of air pollution while on the other hand my irritated respiratory tract yells that it’s not only a local

issue but very personal. It turns out that atmospheric pollution causes more than temporary breathing issues. Studies have positively linked air pollution to the occurrence of chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cancer, damage to the immune system and neurological, reproductive and developmental problems. So while attacking air pollution on a global scale we have to deal with its effects locally.

Consider this: While water from the tap is safe to drink because it’s been filtered and treated, bad air becomes breathable only if we wear fancy face-masks. It’s becoming a bigger issue year by year as we watch health effects of air pollution climb while swallowing industrial propaganda that alternative energies are ineffective and impractical.

Meanwhile, Puget Sound’s forty annual days of bad air grow to eighty and we begin to accept respiratory distress as part of the normal human condition.

Or we could demand that makers of gaseous garbage clean up their act. We try to stay healthy locally by washing our hands. We try to avoid infecting others when we’re diseased.

We demand purity from what we eat and drink. Yet we allow big time energy-consumers to poison our air, flooding the atmosphere with bad stuff. And we bear part of the guilt through our willing dependence on polluting devices.

At least thirty studies being conducted by the National Institute of Environmental Health check links between health issues and air quality pollution. Big NIEH projects look for broad connections to blood

pressure and narrower focus on conditions such as sleep-disordered breathing. With most families, friends and neighbors suffering one or both of those, air pollution becomes a very local issue.

Air pollution begins with combustion, call it burning. No matter what the fuel or burning device, gaseous products of combustion invade the air we breathe. Vehicle engines, power generation, slash-and-burn agriculture, wild fires, backyard barbecues, cigarettes, home heating, cooking, portable power tools, fireworks, jet exhausts, ships at sea, factories — whatever the source, so long as combustion is involved, it contributes to the problem.

Graphs showing the growth of air pollution tell me that bad air days will become more numerous. That means more medical appointments and more absenteeism at work, leading to higher medical costs and decreased production. That moves the discussion from a public health issue to economics. China is finding that out.

Since the past is done, gone and not to be re-lived, any cure will lie in what we choose to do next.

The condo I now own is a perfect example of what not to do. Its furnace is far from state of the art efficiency. Its roof(s) don’t allow capture of solar energy. The plumbing requires heating a whole lot of pipe before delivering hot water to distant faucets. Its decorative fireplace displays pretty flames while ducting all the heat up the chimney. Mea culpa.

We’ve heard national leaders tell us that we go to war to make the world safe for our children and our children’s children ... etc. Better yet, how about a war against processes that make air unhealthy for children everywhere? The enemy in that war is combustion.

VFW Post 2100 hosts Open House

EVERETT — This year’s St. Patrick’s Day at Veterans of Foreign Wars Old Guard Post 2100 included historic exhibits, tributes to fallen comrades-in-arms, distribution of information on programs to support veterans and their families, and even an authentic Irish meal of corned beef and cabbage.

Unfortunately for the VFW, what the event didn’t have was precisely what it was intended to bring to the table, which was more veterans and their families, as well as more civilians whom the veterans would have been able to educate about the needs of America’s servicemen and women.

VFW Post 2100 State Service Officer Rene Taculad hails from Marysville and served in the U.S. Navy for 23 years, from 1966-89, taking him through what he deemed “the Vietnam years,” just shy of the first

Persian Gulf war.

“We offer not only the camaraderie of veterans, but also help them to get the benefits they’re due,” said Taculad, before echoing concerns expressed by Post 2100 Cmdr. Donald Wischmann. “I wish more people had shown up today.

Post 2100 has more than 800 members, but only a couple of hundred of those are active.”

“About 700 of [our members] are folks who served in World War II and Korea, and within about 10 years, we’re not going to be doing much as a post if we can’t replenish that membership,” Wischmann said, summing up the recruitment drive angle of the March 17 open house.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony Juarez is so active that he started “Operation Desert Comfort” last October, after returning from Afghanistan that September, and he’s enlisted the aid of the Turning Point Church in Marysville in sending care packages to

“We offer not only the camaraderie of veterans, but also help them to get the benefits they’re due.”

Rene Taculad VFW Post 2100 State Service Officer American military members serving overseas.

“I know the significance of those boxes and the happiness they can bring, from making you feel like you’re getting special treatment,” said Juarez, a hospital corpsman currently stationed at Naval Station Everett. “Even before I left Afghanistan, I was thinking about what I could do to help those I was leaving behind. My first shipment, I thought I’d be able to assemble five boxes, but it grew from word of mouth to 14, and they were all shipped on donated funds.”

Donors can make their checks payable to Turning Point Church “Operation Desert Comfort,” and Juarez may be reached by phone at 661-246-5846 or via email at calidoc1988@

yahoo.com.

Bill Morse, community service officer of VFW Post 1561 in Arlington, shared Taculad’s disappointment in the event’s turnout, and agreed with Wischmann about the vital importance of the VFW to veterans.

“I’d particularly hoped to see more civilians here, because they need to see what we’re doing,” Morse said. “We honor our veterans when they pass away, but we also honor them when they need our help, by helping them as much as we possibly can, since the government is hardly doing anything for them at this point.”

“Without as many active members, we can’t have as much of a voice in Washington, D.C.,” Wischmann said.

JA raises funds through bowling

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Although the Tulalip Resort Casino’s six-hour “Virtual Bowling” tournament drew a relatively sparse turnout on March 14, event organizer Shane Warbus still deemed it a success for raising awareness of the upcoming “Cosmic Bowling” tournament that it was created to promote.

The Tulalip Resort Casino has partnered with Junior Achievement of Snohomish County for the two fundraising bowling events, designed to get the ball rolling for kids enrolled in the nonprofit’s programs.

As part of the annual Bowling Classic, a statewide event taking place on various dates throughout the spring, teams composed of members from various organizations compete in two-hour shifts at local bowling alleys. This year’s added twists include not only an afternoon of “Virtual Bowling” on Wii and Xbox at the Tulalip Resort Casino, but also a 1970s-themed costumed session of “Cosmic Bowling”

organized by the Tulalip Resort Casino at Strawberry Lanes in Marysville.

“The Virtual Bowling Tournament was just a kickoff to get the word out about the Cosmic Bowling Tournament on May 28,” Warbus said. “That event is going to be crazy. We’re still working on getting prize donations, but so far we’ve raised more than $12,000 for Junior Achievement through these events. Last year’s bowling tournament at Strawberry Lanes generated $22,000 from 26 teams of four bowlers each.”

Strawberry Lanes teams will have a selection of three time slots for “Cosmic Bowling” on May 28 — from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., 3-5 p.m.

and 6-8 p.m. — and prizes will be awarded to the top three scoring groups, as well as to the best ‘70s-era team costumes. Fundraising goal entry fees are $150 per bowler, or $600 for a team of four, and there’s an additional $10 fee for shoe rental.

According to Warbus, Junior Achievement of Snohomish County is dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in a global economy.

This year’s Bowling Classic will raise funds to support Junior Achievement’s K-12 programs on work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy, and will also allow more students to participate in Junior Achievement’s showcase

MG girls golf begins season

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The season has begun for Marysville Getchell girls golf as the team hosted its first match against Meadowdale and Stanwood on Wednesday, March 13, at Cedarcrest Golf Course for nine holes at par 35.

Getchell took second place at the match with a team score of 282, behind Stanwood who had a 274.

“We have seven returning, two seniors, two juniors and the rest are sophomores,” said head coach Jaci Legore Hodgins. “Basically we are working on what needs to be a championship mindset. That ranges all the way from how you handle your thoughts while you are playing golf to the decisions you make on and off the golf course.”

This season marks the first time that girls golf is playing stroke rather than Stableford, a style of scoring that had been different for girls teams in previous years.

“This is our first year that we are actually playing stroke,” said Legore Hodgins.

“We are trying to make it more equal to what the boys

do, and make it more like real golf. Stableford is a modification and we realized that the girls have evolved and should be playing golf as it’s meant to be played, and that’s what stroke play is.”

Girls will be playing by the 10x rule, that allows them to make a putt on 10 strokes, but if they go over 10, they put 10x on their score card.

That rule does not come into play at district or state.

Jackie Martin, a junior from MG, took third place with a 53.

“Jackie Martin is our number one and is also working in the golf industry. She works at Battle Creek Golf Course all year,” said Legore Hodgins.

“The other thing I’d like to mention is our number two junior Emma Beauchamp.

She is new to the game but has been committed to lessons at the Columbia Super Range. Jackson coach Kevin Mackey has been helping her and it shows you how she is meant to play golf. She swam for our team for two years and she is a natural athlete, but golf is the sport she is meant to play. She comes from a strong golfing background. She played her first

match of her life yesterday and she ended up tying for third. We are really excited.”

Beauchamp shot a 54.

“Emily Kelley, a junior who is playing third for us, has also been committed for a year and training with Dave Boivin, the head pro up at Kayak,” said Legore Hodgins. “He has been working with our team as a whole.”

Kelley took fifth place with a 55. Although the top three golfers at MG are juniors, there are other athletes showing lots of promise for the coming season.

“We have a sophomore, Kaitlin Oskam. She has also been doing lessons with Dave individually and with the team. She had one tough hole that ended up impacting her quite a bit during this match. We know we have to do a few things to help her find her game, and that’s practice. Senior Mikaela Schwartz has all that it takes to be an outstanding golfer. She and Kaitlin are very much the same level of golf.

They need to work on their golf mind, and match their skills with their golf mind.”

Both Oskam and Schwartz shot 60 and tied for seventh

place. Samantha Peterson of MG shot 67 and placed eighth.

This is the first time that MG and Marysville-Pilchuck have had separate 3A varsity golf programs, but it is a good thing for both teams.

“It makes it really fun. It’s fun for us to be able to share the course with M-P and also be able to work closely with them,” said Legore Hodgins. “We had our jamboree together and we can do JV matches together. We can help each other get better.

It’s a good thing. We really want to thank the Cedarcrest Golf Course for making it possible that four teams get to practice there — M-P, MG, Lakewood and Grace Academy, both boys and girls. Dave Castleberry and his staff are fantastic support for all four of our teams. We also want to give a special thank you to Bleachers restaurant that accommodates all of us as well. The golf course community, including the golfers, the patrons and staff has been so supportive and fantastic in giving high school golf just the best start we could ever have to a season and, we want to say thank you.”

Cougars fifth at Chuck Randall Relays

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — The Lakewood track and field team has kicked off its 2013 season with the Island Jamboree in Oak Harbor, and most recently the Chuck Randall Relays at Arlington High School, where the boys and girls teams both took fifth place.

There were eight schools competing in the event, and the Cougar boys scored 65.97 as a team, while the girls scored 63.92 as a team.

“We placed fifth and we competed really well,” said head coach Jeff Sowards.

“We have a great group of young kids, about 120 kids total on the team this year, and we have a lot of solid performers.”

The 2013 season has brought a number of promising newcomers to the Cougars track and field team.

“Right now our best 100meter sprinter is a freshman, and leadership like that will

really encourage returners,” said Sowards. “Josh Dickey ran the 100 meters at the Island Jamboree, and he’s just trying to figure out how to sprint, but he came out with a 12.02 and I think he can run a low 11 seconds before the end of the year.”

Some of the returning athletes have competed at a state level and are continuing their impressive performances.

“Senior Ariel Jensen has one of the top times in the 2A state right now in the 800,” said Sowards. “Senior Justin Peterson was the state champion last year and won the high jump on Saturday at six feet.”

Junior Mitchell Darrah took third place in the boys 1,600-meter race with a final time of 4:57.94. Junior Andrew Stich took second place in the boys 110-meter hurdles with a final time of 16.26, while Ryan Whitehead took 10th place with a final time of 17.95.

“Andrew Stich is going to be one of the best hurdlers in the state,” said Sowards. “He

set a personal record at the Chuck Randall Relays with a 16.26. He has trained hard and pushed himself.”

The girls 4x100-meter relay team of Hunter Clark, Stephanie Smith, Taylor Storms and Callanan took second place with a time of 54.15.

The boys distance medley team of Preston Davis, Drew Cabales, Alex Cooper and Douglas Davis took second place with a time of 11:20.52.

The girls distance medley team of Ariel Jensen, Chloe McCann, Darby Throndsen and Rachel Sowards took third place with a time of 14:16.8.

“David Otte is a leader in boys shot put and Tristan Nelson is a state returner for discus,” said Sowards.

“Taylor Studzinski will probably do really well at pole vault this year, and Skylar Cannon will be a leader in javelin.”

“We are really happy with the kids’ attitudes and their willingness to compete,”

said Sowards. “We have a meet on Thursday against Archbishop Murphy. Our schools are often rivals, and it’s a dual meet, so that will be fun to see if we can do the same thing that football did in the fall and beat them.”

The Cougars host Archbishop Murphy at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 21.

M-P’s Omar Flores speeds past a Woodinville player during the March 16 game at Pop Keeney Stadium in Bothell.

Tomahawks top Woodinville, 2-1

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

BOTHELL — The Marysville-Pilchuck boys soccer team competed against Woodinville in its second game of the season at the Kingco/Wesco showcase at Pop Keeney Stadium and finished with a 2-1 victory on Saturday, March 16.

“They don’t give up,” said Paul Bartley, M-P head coach. “They play well as a cohesive squad and are more or less interchangeable. We played everybody on the roster. There are things we need to work on, but overall we did really well.”

Junior midfielder Fabian Panduro scored the first goal at 70 minutes with a penalty kick and freshman forward Omar Flores scored at 77 minutes with an assist from Aron Galvan.

“I think Aron Galvan had a really good game. He had the assist with the second goal,” said Bartley. This was the second game of the season for M-P, who tied 1-1 with Archbishop Murphy, also nonleague, on March 12.

The Tomahawks are still working on where to place all the players, but Bartley has a good feeling about this year’s crop of athletes.

“Right now it’s hard to tell where everyone will play. We

have a team with only two seniors and I’m pretty excited about this year and next year.

I think that we’ll do really well this year and even better next year.”

Only six members of last year’s varsity team returned for this season.

“There are a lot of players stepping up from JV and fighting for positions,” said Bartley, who noted that the midfield is where the team is showing the most strength so far.

“I have multiple strong players in the midfield,” he said. “Up front we are inexperienced, but in midfield Cesar Galvan is going to have a big year.”

The team played Bothell on Tuesday, March 19, although the results of that game were unknown as of press time.

“We start our league season with Getchell on Friday,” said Bartley. “The seniors up there now are the freshman I coached here at M-P, so they know us and we know them.

It’s going to be a great game of soccer.”

The team faces Marysville Getchell in an away game at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 22.

“I think we’ll be really competitive this year,” said Bartley. “Anything is a possibility. You just have to get there. We have the personnel, we just have to play.”

MARYSVILLE — Although its future seemed to be in doubt last year, Shoultes Elementary’s program of school plays will continue for the fifth year in a row this year, at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 21, and 7 p.m. on Friday, March 22.

Nancy Hammer, the librarian and play coordinator for Shoultes Elementary, went into semi-retirement starting in the 2012-13 school year, since she’s taking care of her elderly parents, but ironically enough, this has afforded her more time to focus on the Shoultes school plays than she would have had if she’d stayed on as a full-time employee, and seen her time divided between Shoultes for three days and another school for the remaining two school days of each week.

“I figure this way, if I only work three days a week, I might be able to make it until I’m 70,” said Hammer, who’s 63 now. “That means several more years worth

SR 529 bridge opens ahead of schedule

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The State Route 529 Ebey Slough Bridge reopened one day early, and opened all four lanes of traffic to the public for the first time at 10:32 a.m. on Sunday, March 10.

While the previously open two lanes on the east side of the bridge were closed on schedule on Friday, March 8, at 8 p.m., the Washington State Department of Transportation had projected keeping the bridge closed until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 11.

The weekend closure allowed bridge traffic to go from one lane in each direction to two lanes each for northbound and southbound traffic, after the concrete barrier separating the west and east lanes of the bridge was removed, and the pavement was re-striped.

“The look is intended to be a reminder of old-fashioned brick and cobblestone, to fit in with the city’s plans for the waterfront,” said Olsen, who noted that the project has some landscaping left to complete. “We’ll also put down a final layer of asphalt later this spring, in late April or May, since it requires that the ground temperature be 50 degrees or warmer. We’ll need another weekend closure for that.”

Besides the removal of the barrier and the re-striping of the highway, crews also installed a stamped concrete sidewalk across SR 529, just south of its intersection with First Street. The red-tinted stamped concrete design was requested by the city of Marysville when WSDOT first began designing the project.

SMOKEY POINT — By the time Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert was ready to do the ribbon-cutting marking the official grand opening of Kim Winfrey’s Pottery Nook on March 16, so many families had already started painting various doit-yourself pottery art objects that they had to be reminded that the ceremony was taking place.

“I’ll bring my mom back next time,” Tolbert laughed.

“It’s always exciting to help open a new business in town, particularly in Smokey Point.

This place offers a creative outlet for the whole family, and the shop is so beautiful that it’s worth taking your time to find, especially during those long winters when you’re dying to find something for the kids to do that’s indoors and warm.”

Winfrey, who was assisted by her nephews Noah and Jeffrey in performing the ribbon-cutting in Suite 14-B at 3131 Smokey Point Dr.

Concert raises funds for scholarships Courtesy Photo

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Kiwanis Club drew an estimated 350 attendees to the annual Kenneth J. Ploeger Kiwanis Memorial Scholarship Concert on March 8, but the demographics of the audience yielded a slightly lighter take than Ken’s widow Penny

would have liked.

“Because most of them were students and their guests, they didn’t pay and we only made about $600,” said Penny Ploeger, a Kiwanian who has carried on the tradition of hosting the memorial concert as a means for raising scholarship money for students in need. “We are interested in serving the community, but

we also hope to raise funds for our scholarships.”

This year’s benefit concert featured young Marysville artists and Edmonds Community College’s premier Soundsation Jazz Choir to generate donations for student vocational-technical scholarships, named by the Ploeger family in memory of Ken, a longtime dedicated Kiwanis member, retired Navy electronics technician and city of Marysville employee who believed in the value of scholarships for students entering a vocational trade or career, and who passed away in 2007.

“There was an especially diverse array of talent, but I think my personal favorite was the 10th Street Middle School Jazz Band,” said Penny Ploeger, who also noted the presence of the M-PHS Jazz Band and Choir. “It’s amazing to see what these students have achieved in the short time that they’ve been exposed to an instrumental program, since we have no instrumental program in the elementary schools.”

Ploeger likewise credited the Mountain View Jazz Choir from Meridian, Idaho, with putting on “a wonderful performance,” along with the Soundsation Jazz Choir from Edmonds Community College.

These concerts benefit Marysville students through technology and skills scholarships for classes or community college credits that will prepare them for employment in the public sector, according to Ploeger, who gave special thanks to Marysville School District Music Director John Rants Jr. for assembling the local bands and choirs.

“We have one scholarship student who went into graphic art, one who’s a bookkeeper for her parents’ restaurant and will probably go on to get her MBA, one who went to Skagit Community College to study mechanics and is qualified to fix large semis and machinery, and one who is currently studying to become a cosmetologist,” Ploeger said. “Not everyone wants to go on to a four-year degree, and not everyone can or wants to join the military to get a chance to get a degree. We need people who can serve our community in other capacities. They deserve just as much of a chance to pursue their chosen fields.”

Because the concert didn’t raise enough to cover this year’s $1,000 scholarship, Ploeger and Kiwanis pooled their funds to ensure that the scholarships could continue in Ken’s name.
