MARYSVILLE — Incoming Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg wound up being one of nine Marysville School District staff members to be introduced, or in some cases reintroduced, to the community during the Marysville School Board’s June 17 meeting, and she would continue to introduce herself to the community through the following evening, during the district’s third strategic leadership transitioning meeting on June 18. Berg preferred to listen during the brainstorming sessions at the Tulalip Resort on June 18, which were complimented with a review of the two prior community engagement events on May 14 and 16,
and spent most of her time during the June 17 Board meeting introducing her team, which includes a few familiar faces in new roles. “It’s not just me who’s coming on board, but a number of new staff members,” said Berg, who’s retained Ray Houser, former executive director of teaching and learning, as her assistant superintendent. “I don’t have anywhere near the energy level of Ray,” she added, before introducing Cinco Delgado, former principal of Ridgecrest Elementary in the Shoreline School District, as the new executive director of teaching and learning in Houser’s stead.

The purple line is 88th Street and the red line is 84th Street. ADT shows the average daily traffic of vehicles on each road, and EB and WB show the percentages of those motorists heading eastbound and westbound.
MARYSVILLE — The city of Marysville’s citizens seem to be split evenly on what should be done with 84th Street (also known as Getchell Hill Road) and 88th Street (also known as Ingraham Boulevard) in the wake of a neighborhood meeting to solicit public input on June 17. City of Marysville Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen explained that the original plan for Ingraham Boulevard was that it would become the primary east/west arterial between State Route 9 and Interstate 5, while 84th Street between Ingraham
Boulevard and 67th Avenue would be downgraded from an arterial to a local access street. However, at least half of the local residents who attended the June 17 public meeting had other ideas, according to Nielsen. “It was just about the most 50/50 split I’ve ever seen,” Nielsen said. “Half the residents wanted 84th to stay open as an arterial, while the other half were more inclined to see it reduced to a local access road. It was pretty divided.” To that end, the city had already supplied more than a dozen different options for dealing with SEE OPTIONS, PAGE 2

the conflicting issues of 84th Street’s traffic volumes still being higher than what Nielsen and other experts would like to see for a local access designation, while at the same time 84th Street poses significant hazards of steep grades, challenging winter access and a degraded roadway surface for arterial motorists. “The city knew that something would have to be done about 84th back in the 1980s,” Nielsen said. “It’s been a long time coming, before my time. The issues with 84th were why Ingraham was built in the first place. We had to leave 84th because it took us a while to get permits for certain parts of Ingraham, which created some odd timing.” Due to the public input that the city of Marysville’s Public Works Engineering Division received on June 17, Nielsen explained that they’re going to be spending the next couple of months soliciting even more public opinion, both online on the city’s blog at http:// marysvillewa.gov/Blog.aspx
and through another public meeting that will be scheduled roughly two months from now. The options that were presented to attendees of the June 17 meeting are also available online, via PowerPoint presentation, at http://marysvillewa.gov/ Blog.aspx. “Probably none of those designs will be the final one, though,” Nielsen said. “We sent out about 1,300 fliers for the last meeting, and we’ll let people know, through fliers and the city’s website, about the next meeting coming up. We should have some design ideas formulated from the input we receive between now and then.” Nielsen elaborated that the goals of any potential modifications to a yet-tobe-determined section of 84th Street would include decreasing or eliminating eastbound and westbound cut-through traffic, maintaining local access to and from Getchell Hill, reducing traffic volumes on the street, and maintaining full pedestrian access and emergency services, including access for police and fire units.

Outgoing Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller and remaining Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Dr. Kyle Kinoshita noted that Sonja Machovina and Gloria Henderson are no newcomers to the Marysville School District, having both started out as teachers at Tulalip Elementary. Machovina will serve as the new assistant principal at Totem Middle School, while Henderson succeeds

As of June 24, Berg still has a voicemail box at the Deer Park School District, but she’s already sought to engage with the Marysville community through events
such at the June 17 and 18 meetings, not only to keep her previously stated pledge to “hit the ground running, listening and learning,” but also to ensure she’s up to speed when she officially starts her new job on July 1. “I’m open to meeting with as many constituents and community groups as possible, so that I can learn as much as possible during those golden hours when I’m still new to the school district,” Berg said. “I have no agenda other than continuing the great work that’s already been done in the district, and understanding its future needs.” During the June 17 Board meeting, Board President Chris Nation reiterated that
Berg’s selection was the result of the district’s commitment to soliciting extensive community input, and offered a few final words of tribute to his friend, outgoing Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland. “We heard all the voices,” Nation said. “That was what Dr. Nyland was all about, was a focus on student achievement, and everyone coming to the table to talk about it together. Our partnership with the Tulalip Tribes is an example of that.” “I’m delighted with the work that’s been done, especially in partnership with the Tribes,” Nyland said. “Our staff throughout the district have done a great job.”

Use fireworks in safe, legal manner
BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
MARYSVILLE — While the cities of Arlington and Marysville encourage their citizens to celebrate the upcoming Fourth of July holiday in a festive manner, the cities’ police officers and firefighters want to make sure that those who choose to use fireworks do so in a safe and legal fashion. The city of Arlington allows fireworks to be sold from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, June 28, through Thursday, July 4, whereas the city of Marysville allows fireworks to be sold from noon to 11 p.m. on June 28 and from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Saturday, June 29, through July 4. Marysville residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 4, while Arlington residents may discharge their fireworks between 9 a.m. and midnight on July 4. Neither city allows its residents to discharge their fireworks on any other day, outside of the New Year holiday, and both cities limit their legal fireworks to Class C, or “safe and sane” fireworks. Neighboring Native American reservations may sell fireworks that do not conform to these laws, but such fireworks must be detonated on reservation lands. The retail fireworks stands of “Boom City” on the Tulalip Tribal
Reservation also provide a lighting and detonation area on site for customers, since not all of the fireworks sold at Boom City are allowed to be detonated off the reservation. Security personnel will monitor the area to ensure that children aged 12 years and younger have adults aged 18 years or older present. According to Marysville Fire District Division Chief and Fire Marshal Tom Maloney, fireworks that are illegal off tribal lands include bottle rockets, skyrockets, missiles and firecrackers. M-80s and larger, as well as dynamite and any improvised, homemade or altered explosive devices such as tennis balls, sparkler bombs or cherry bombs are likewise illegal explosive devices, and those who possess or use such illegal explosive devices can expect to be charged with a felony. State Fire Marshal Charles Duffy is reminding Washingtonians that the purchase of fireworks over the Internet is illegal. In Washington state, fireworks must be purchased from a licensed retail fireworks stand during the legal sales period. Orders for fireworks cannot be placed over the Internet, or posted on websites such as Craigslist In its online list of tips to the public, the Arlington Fire Department noted that illegal fireworks are often unpackaged and wrapped in plain brown paper, and warned
against purchasing any fireworks that are not in their original packages, or are in opened or damaged packages. Marysville police are taking enforcement of these laws seriously and will be citing those caught with illegal fireworks between now and the Fourth of July. Under state law, possession or discharge of illegal fireworks is a misdemeanor offense punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, up to a year in jail and a mandatory court appearance. City of Marysville Public Information Officer Doug Buell pointed out that Marysville police can issue criminal citations to violators or civil citations, the latter similar to a standard ticket. Marysville police may issue a civil infraction, or fine, in an amount up to $500, instead of a criminal citation. The criminal misdemeanor fine is consistent with the standard state penalty of an amount not to exceed $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. Gross misdemeanor offenses carry a fine of up to $5,000 and/or a year in jail, and a person with three or more civil infractions within a two-year time period will be cited for a misdemeanor. Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux explained that such civil infractions enable officers to spend more time on the streets responding to fireworks complaints, and less time processing
criminal citation paperwork. He added that the safety of individuals and property is the police department’s utmost concern. “Use caution and follow safety rules for responsible use of fireworks,” Lamoureux said. “Illegal fireworks in particular pose a public safety and medical hazard, and they have the potential to cause property damage in the Marysville area.” Although Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield believes that Arlington police are more likely to try and educate those using illegal fireworks, or those using fireworks illegally, she warned that, “If they have to make a repeat trip to your place for fireworks, it’ll probably result in a fine.” Officials in both cities urge Fourth of July holiday revelers to clean up their fireworks after they’re finished. “After you light it up, clean it up,” Buell said. “Discarded fireworks the days after the Fourth are a neighborhood eyesore, and smoldering, spent fireworks can still pose a fire hazard if not disposed of properly.” To dispose of spent fireworks properly, the Arlington Fire Department advises that people let their used fireworks lay on the ground until they are cool and there is no chance that any residue will reignite, after which

they should place all the expended firework cases in a bucket of water to soak them thoroughly. Those who use fireworks should keep a bucket of water or a running water hose close by in case of a firework malfunction or fire. “First and foremost, our fire and police chiefs strongly encourage our residents to stay safe by attending the local public displays, such as the one at the Arlington Boys & Girls Club sponsored by the Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber of Commerce,” Banfield said. “If you do use fireworks, however, only use them as intended, and use common sense. Don’t try to alter them or combine them, and never relight a ‘dud’ firework. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter, and alcohol and fireworks do not mix, so have a ‘designated shooter.’ Only those older than 12 years old should be allowed to handle fireworks, especially sparklers of any type.” For more information, visit the city of Marysville’s fireworks website at http://marysvillewa.gov/ index.aspx?nid=362 and the city of Arlington’s fireworks website at http://arlingtonwa.gov/index. aspx?page=419.

A review of the iPad in the classroom
L
ast September we took a look at Marysville’s 10th Street School’s plan to convert to iPads as the central learning device. Every student would have one. Most parents equipped their kids with the devices and school fundraisers covered costs for the rest. It was a local experiment being played out in a scatter of schools across the map. Tenth Street’s head teacher, Brian Churchill, explained the plan which was embraced by the school’s enthusiastic core of teachers. As with any large-scale change, there were questions that only experience could answer. How would a mix of textbooks and iPads work out? How might issues arising from the district’s curriculum be addressed through iPad learning? Or more simply put, how would iPads interface with a traditional curriculum? A school year has passed. Much to my surprise, Brian, my superenthusiastic exponent of iPad instruction, retired two weeks after our meeting in September. But his departure did nothing to dim the staff ’s dedication to the project. My new source is James Delazzari, current team-leader who inherited Brian’s enthusiasm. The 10th Street School is hard to describe. It has an off-site parttime principal whose abilities are available when needed. It has James, designated team leader, who coordinates learning activities. It has a level of parental support

that can’t be found in other area schools. And it has iPads for each student. On the surface, 10th Street may seem like a Charter School. The National Alliance of Charter Schools says a Charter School should (a) adjust curriculum to meet student needs, (b) create a unique school culture and (c) develop next-generation learning models. So any pressure-group attempting to install a charter school in Marysville should understand that, for many practical purposes, we already have one for middle-schoolers. What we thought to be a local experiment with iPads is actually Marysville’s response to a nation-wide movement. When a lightweight device can access more information than the SnoIsle library offers, when it has the capacity to store and search far more than the content of every K-12 textbook, when it is a writing and communicating device, it deserves the hard look Marysville is giving it. With one year of iPad experience under their belts, Marysville teachers, students and parents are voicing the same questions being
asked across the map. Since some parents are providing their children with iPads, they wonder if the devices they buy will be different from leased devices provided by the district. The answer is, district devices are filtered to be squeakyclean of potentially inappropriate sources. The district holds classes to bring “technologically challenged� parents up to speed on iPads. They explain various insurance plans, discuss theft and security and offer counsel on which version to purchase. The reach of these devices is such that no educator can, in good conscience, bar them from the educational scene. When setting them against traditional education you have a “That was then, this is now� situation. What was our future a few years ago has become our present reality. It’s why the YMCA recently offered a catch-up computer class for seniors. The term, digital native, refers to young people who have grown up so steeped in computer lore that digitized electronics speak to their second nature. It is the rest of us who drag our feet. It’s an unfortunate reality is that all that educational potential is, to a budgetary degree, controlled by a generation that, to some degree, fears it. For the kids’ sake, the technophobes among us need to get out of the way or get with it. And now a hard look at what
was accomplished in a year of iPads: First, the business of keeping track: Drafts of students’ writings can be called up and compared. Assigned work for entire terms is easily accessed. Students, teachers and parents don’t have to wonder how a child is doing. It’s all there. Because assignments and their due-dates go anywhere the iPad goes, excuses like “I forgot� or “The dog at my homework� carry even less weight than they used to. When a band teacher expects young musicians to master their parts, they record their efforts on iPads again and again until they get it right. Or not. The difference is that they have all the opportunity in the world to get it right instead of succeeding or failing one-time auditions. Discipline problems diminish. As in band, students in other subjects have opportunities (plural) to get things right which does good things for self-esteem. This evens the playing-field for achievement. Visitors notice less boredom and that more students are on task, though it might not be the task of the moment. Reports from elsewhere indicate more flex in what a student might learn at any given time. There’s so much more to report that you’d have to talk with the kids for a full rundown.

Dues Produce Barn celebrates grand opening
MARYSVILLE — The Due family has been farming in the Arlington and Marysville area for years, and now another generation is carrying on the tradition. Wayne and Becky Due held a grand opening for Dues Produce Barn on Saturday, June 22, and offer not only their wellknown local strawberries, but anything from corn to mangoes, all grown on their farm or by other local farmers. “We decided that Wayne knows how to grow and I know how to sell,” said Becky Due. “We thought, ‘We have the acreage — we should grow strawberries,’ and then it expanded to all kinds of produce. We are growing three different varieties of corn, summer squash, winter squash and decorative gourds. We’ll be open through to December with different seasonal fruits and vegetables.” The original farmhouse and barn, located in North Marysville, near Smokey Point, was Wayne’s parents’ house, and has been around for more than 50 years. “The Due family has been growing berries for 103 years,” said Wayne Due. “We are carrying on the tradition and our kids are involved when they can be. Our youngest daughter Jamie is working full time, and my mom is helping out. It’s a full-fledged family business.” Jamie Due, 20, is a fifth generation Due, and loves spending time with her
mom and grandma at the barn. “I love it, I’m very excited for what’s to come and all these fun new adventures,” she said, noting that she wouldn’t be opposed to following in her family’s footsteps and carrying on the tradition of growing food. “I think it’s definitely a possibility, taking this over and really being a part of it.” The barn will be open from April 1 to December every year. “We will sell Christmas trees and we will invite local artisans in here to sell wreaths and crafts during the holiday season,” said Becky Due. “Shed Antiques, a business from Lakewood, has a spot here in the barn so people can buy antiques as well.” Due’s Produce Barn is located at 4604 152nd St. NE, in Marysville, and customers flooded the barn before the grand opening had even occurred. “This is wonderful. The people here are very knowledgable with the produce and its a wonderful experience coming here,” said customer Rod Wolfe, of Bry’s TV in Marysville. “It’s local supporting local.” Becky Due said she isn’t surprised that people have been shopping at the barn since they started stocking more than just berries. “It’s what the local community has been wanting and we’ve just had so much support from our surrounding neighborhoods,” she said, noting that several people have walked to the barn from the residential areas nearby to pick up fresh goods. “People

Becky Due, owner of Dues Produce Barn, stocks the shelves of her store with fresh local produce. are really excited about the local, fresh produce.” For food that isn’t grown on-site, the Due family purchases from local farms from Skagit Valley to Wenatchee, and there is a reason they are set on buying local. “The rule of the farm is, know your farmer and how they practice,” she said. “We do not spray. All the local farms here are nospray with all-natural soil. They’ve been practicing this way for more than a hundred years. The benefit is that you are going to have fresh, quality produce, picked everyday. And you are supporting your local community.”
Becky Due said that she is working on connecting with the Marysville Community Food Bank to eventually donate produce
on a regular basis. “We want to give back to the community that is supporting us,” she said. For more information on
Dues Produce Barn, visit its Facebook page at www. facebook.com/duesproducebarn. Hours vary due to the weather.

MILITARY BRIEFS Shane Lucey Army National Guard 2nd Lt. Shane Lucey has graduated from Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga., and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. During the 12 weeks of training, the officer candidate received “basic soldiering” instruction in leadership, professional ethics, soldier team development, combined arms tactics, weapons defense, combat water survival, squad drill, intelligence, field training exercises, day and night land navigation, confidence obstacle course, common core tasks, communications, staff and general military subjects, and physical fitness tests which include three, four and five-mile runs, and foot marches between 5-12 miles carrying rucksacks. The candidate is tested on leadership skills and team work abilities required of a commissioned officer. Students learned to utilize acquired skills to function in “leader and follower” positions in squad and platoon sized elements, and evaluated in various leadership garrison positions while in a stressful and demanding field environment. Lucey is the son of Wayne and Nita Lucey of 78th Street NE, Marysville. He is a 2005 graduate of Marysville-Pilchuck High School. He received a bachelor’s degree in 2009 from Seattle Pacific University.
Jonathan G. Baker Navy Seaman Apprentice Jonathan G. Baker, son of Pamela R. and Brennon L. Baker of Marysville, Wash., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Baker completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, fire-
fighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills. Baker is a 2011 graduate of Rio Vista High School of Rio Vista, Calif.

MARYSVILLE — On Wednesday, June 19, Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force investigators released information and the photo of James L. Phillips, with a request for the public’s help in locating Phillips. Immediately following the first media broadcast of this information, Phillips called investigators and declined to turn himself in to police. Over the course of the afternoon and evening, detectives learned that Phillips, a 32-year-old transient living in Snohomish County, was planning to leave the Snohomish County area, and received tips about where Phillips might be. At about 10:45 p.m. on June 19, Marysville Police officers stopped a vehicle in

Powder Puff raises funds for Lakewood, Marysville BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com
MARYSVILLE — On Friday, June 28, a group of adult women from Marysville will don helmets and football gear and face off against a team of women from Lakewood for the third-annual Powder Puff football game fundraiser. The Marysville Charging Tomamamas are mothers of football players from the Marysville Youth Football League and the Lakewood Cougar Mamas are mothers of players from the Lakewood Youth Football Association. They will compete against one another in a game of full-gear, flag football game at Quil Ceda Stadium on Friday, June 28. “We have been practicing since early May, and we have 21 awesome players,” said Kym Gallo, who is organizing the event for the Charging Tomamamas. “Our youth football league is a feeder program for both the high schools, so we changed our name to reflect that.”
“Each team will earn money for their organization,” said Gallo, who noted that the team played against Lake Stevens on Friday, June 21, for the Vikings first ever Powder Puff game. “This is Lake Stevens’ first year. They contacted us and said they were interested in playing, and finding out what it’s all about and how much money we could make. We kind of wanted to open the door for them and get their first year under their belt so they knew what they were doing for next year. We’ve always played the Lakewood Cougar Mamas. In our first game we came out $5,000 ahead and last year we made $8,000.” There will be a gate for each team, so that fans can expect their funds to be spent on their association. “This is a huge fundraiser,” said Gallo. “Us moms go crazy when it’s a fundraiser and we always have a blast. The past two years we’ve actually been able to buy new equipment, and new helmets and shoulder pads for our players.”

During halftime, cheerleaders and Dads dressed as cheerleaders perform a show, and this year participants can expect a rousing rendition of the Funky Chicken. Dawn Taylor, organizer for the Lakewood Cougar Mamas, is hop-

Golf tournament benefits Seeds of Grace food bank BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com
MARYSVILLE — The Allen Creek Community Church and the Seeds of Grace Food Bank are hosting the first ever Seeds of Grace Charity Golf Tournament on Friday, Aug. 2, at Cedarcrest Golf Course in Marysville. “We’ve been thinking about doing a charity golf tournament here for a long
time,” said Nate Crain, organizer of the event. “This is the first fundraiser we’ve ever really had. Everything that we’ve done before has been by donation or through partnerships like Northwest Harvest. We have two trucks, and volunteers go out and collect food from the stores as well.” The Seeds of Grace Food Bank is now the second-largest food bank in Marysville, and the increase in traffic throughout the

past few years has prompted the organization to start an annual fundraiser. “This last year has boomed so much, we thought maybe we could get them a jumpstart with a charity tournament, to help with general maintenance that isn’t covered by donations,” said Crain. “All proceeds from the golf tournament will go to maintain the trucks, gas, rent, cleaning supplies, that sort of thing. Seeds of Grace is building a resource center this fall, located on the south side of Allen Creek Community Church, so this will help to get that jump started as well.” “We serve about 175 families a week,” said Michelle Turner, director of Seeds of Grace. “That adds up to about 500-someodd individual adults and children a week who could use food, clothes, small household items, toys — just about whatever the community can donate, we can take in.” During the holiday season, Seeds of Grace witnessed a 10 percent increase in their previous client base, said Turner. The food bank is always in need of more volunteers and Crain noted that they are currently looking for more drivers. “Seeds of Grace began in 2004,” said Crain. “Over the last year it’s really started to boom. We distribute over 20,000 pounds of food per month.” The golf tournament will be played in a four-person scramble format. Registration fees are $75 per player or $300 per team. “There are also sponsorship opportunities for local businesses or companies that would like to sponsor the event,” said Crain. “We were hoping to get larger corporate sponsors to cover the course rental

Awards will be given to the top competitors, and a pulled pork and chicken dinner is included and will be served following the event at Bleachers Restaurant, inside the golf course. Participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items or gently-used clothing to the tournament to be collected in a bin for donation to the food bank as well. Victory Foursquare Church is hosting a car show on July 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., at their church located at 11911 State Ave. in Marysville, with proceeds also going to benefit Seeds of Grace. For more information on the food bank visit www.ac3.org/sog. Seeds of Grace is located at 7302 44th Ave. NE, Suite B2, in Marysville. The distribution center has posted directions for drop-offs.

PUFF FROM PAGE 8 undefeated all four years,” she said. “It’s a little nervewracking every year to be honest. The Marysville community is quite a bit larger than ours, and has more players to pull from, so that has us training really hard to prepare for each game.” Whether they win or lose, the Cougar Mamas love their annual Powder Puff game. “There is something about getting out there and playing,” said Taylor. “From the first practice ever it was an amazing atmosphere. As a mom, having your kids look at you and say, ‘My mom plays football,’ is awesome. There are so many lessons in football that are also life lessons. Every year, I know that if I needed them my team would be there for me off the field. These are women who are flatout dedicated — to their families and their community — and it’s wonderful to know that whatever you need, they will be there. I can’t imagine not doing it every year. From the time you start practicing, you live and breathe football. The
camaraderie that’s built is amazing and there’s something about hitting someone else in pads,” she laughed. “There is something to be said at the end of a stressful day that we can go somewhere and slam into someone and get the stress out.” Taylor hopes the communities in Lakewood and Marysville will come out on Friday, June 28, to support their local athletes. “It’s a great night of family fun and it’s affordable — you can get your family in the door for $10,” she said. “It’s inexpensive and it’s for a good cause. It’s a great facility with good, cheap food, and 100 percent of the money raised goes back to the program for these kids and families who can’t afford to play. For me, if you are a person who can’t go out on the field, you are still helping underprivileged families. Twohundred dollars is a lot of money. If someone has to choose between buying a prescription or milk and letting their child play a sport they love, I hope this helps them rest easier knowing that they don’t have to make that choice.” Powder Puff football has another intangible benefit for the women who participate as players.
“I used to be so hard on my child, and now, no matter what, I’m like, ‘Good job son.’ You gain a huge respect for your kids,” said Gallo. “If I could be half the football player my son is, I would be really good. And, I think it brings our community together a lot more and you recognize people on the street and say, ‘Hey, you played in that Powder Puff game! We came to watch you.’” All the players are football moms, mostly in their 40s. “Our youngest is probably in her early 30s,” said Taylor. “Most of us are in our 40s. We aren’t spring chickens, but we’re tough and determined. That’s one thing that’s really cool when you see the first year mom and they totally know what’s going on in a football game. There’s something really cool about a woman who really understands football. And it’s great because if little girls are inspired by Powder Puff. They can play for our youth organization.” Ticket prices are $5 single and $10 for a family.

The eateries on Third Street have become local favorites, and wide varieties of goods and services are available, including gourmet foods, gifts, home décor, antiques, furniture, books, clothing, a nursery, a floral shop, pharmaceuticals and a fitness center.” Last year marked the Homegrown Festival’s 27th year on Third Street, during which a bout of good weather helped to draw between 3,000-5,000 attendees, according to Miniken. A booth space for all three days is $100 until

many other local community programs.” The Mobile Job Store is traveling across the country to help members of the Guard and Reserve find employment through the H2H program.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Dog Owners Group invites people and their pooches to the seventh annual Marysville Poochapalooza outdoor dog event from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Strawberry Fields Park, located at 6100 152nd St. NE in Marysville. Snohomish County’s largest dog event has kept tails wagging with an annual fashion show for rescue dogs, a canine flying disc tournament, Flyball exhibitions, and pie-eating and pet contests that give dogs their moment to shine. “This year, we’re adding our ‘Running of the Wieners’ wiener dog races to the schedule, and invite dachshund owners to bring out the champion in their dogs,” said Leslie Buell, Poochapalooza founder and coordinator. “See these energetic low-rider pups give it their all for trophies, prizes and glory.” Poochapalooza is free, but a suggested donation of $5 per person is requested, which will cover goodie-
filled “wag bags” to the first 400 visitors. All proceeds support Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park, which is maintained yearround by M-DOG volunteers. This year’s Poochapalooza will again go high fashion with its Fashions and Rescues Runway Show, blending country charm with urban chic. The show will feature adoptable dogs modeling the latest eye-catching fashions live on the catwalk. The show is free. Special runway seating is available on a firstcome, first-served basis. Plenty of competitions, activities and demonstrations enable dogs to try their paws at something new, including the Hyperflite Skyhoundz Canine Disc local championship at 11 a.m., Flyball, wacky pet contests, doggy pie-eating contests, Canine Good Citizen Testing, scent demonstrations, live music and dozens of pet-related vendors to let dog owners snoop for bargains, according to Buell. The new “Running of the Wieners” wiener dog races
Real Estate for Sale Island County
will showcase low-to-theground but high-on-energy pups as they show off their speed and cunning in races starting at 2 p.m. The number of qualifier races will depend on how many wiener dogs are registered. Day-of-event registration is $10 per dog to race, while online entries are $7 at http://poochapalooza. org before July 1. Semi-final winners will compete in the grand finale race held sometime between 2:20-3 p.m., depending on the number of entrants. Buell reminds dog owners and other attendees to be sure to yell for their favorite dachshund when the race official sounds the “go” whistle. “But don’t be surprised if more than a few dogs take time out along the way to socialize with fans and onlookers,” Buell said. Dogs with a hidden talent can enter “Best in Show” contests like Best Kisser, Best Voice, Wackiest Pet Trick, and Pooch Pie-Eating Contests. Contest donation cost is $5 for one contest, or $10 for unlimited contests, excluding the Pooch Pie-

Laptop donations increase access at library
NOW
“The library reaches out to everybody in our community and is one of the places where the money is used wisely.” Tom Nowak Chromebook Donor Google Chromebook for the donation. “From an IT perspective, these devices allow us to provide quick and easy Internet access without the added overhead of locally-installed software,” he said. “We’re seeing a trend of Internet/Cloud-based devices. Chromebooks slim down the traditional laptop and take it to another level, allowing users to reach applications and services they need in the Cloud.” Library customers who are ready to jump onto the Chromebooks or willing to simply try them out on their own for the first time are encouraged to do so. For the more tech-shy library customer, Marysville Library staff members are standing by and eager to coach and guide them on how to successfully use a Chromebook. Shifting some library customers from the library’s public desktop PCs will free those computers for other customers who prefer a computer to a laptop. “The Chromebooks give library customers the option to choose where in the library they want to
sit,” said Jill Wubbenhorst, assistant managing librarian of the Marysville Library. “And these light little notebooks will give them almost instantaneous access to our electronic resources and other sites on the Internet.” Parents can work on a Chromebook in the children’s section while keeping an eye on their child. Teens can take the Chromebook into the teen section to be with their friends or into a study room to get homework done. Nowak said he would be thrilled to walk into the Marysville Library to see the Chromebooks being used by all ages, from kids and teens to adults who are older than him, and grandparents with their grandkids, all around the library. Library customers who are interested in using the Chromebooks should speak to a library staff member. Library staff can help determine if the Chromebook is the best choice, or whether their needs will be better met by a job seeker’s laptop, preschooler’s iPad, or a desktop PC. The Marysville Library is located at 7312 35th Ave. NE in Marysville.

MARYSVILLE — Tom Nowak, a retired physician from Marysville, donated 17 new Chromebook laptops to the Marysville Library for customers to use in the library. Nowak has been a dedicated donor to the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation for several years. “The library reaches out to everybody in our community and is one of the places where the money is used wisely,” said Nowak. “It’s a feel-good donation.” Seeing the heavy use of the public desktop PCs at the Marysville Library inspired him to try to expand the availability of the Internet. He doesn’t want anyone to have to wait to get online, he said. The limited space in the library makes adding more desktop PC consoles a challenge, but Nowak took to the idea that small laptops or notebooks can be used in any comfy chair or corner of the library. Executive Director of the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation Angelique Leone said, “We’re excited to partner with a donor who has the ability to tap into the needs of the community. Tom’s donation will allow us to test this pilot project before rolling it out to other libraries.” Sno-Isle Libraries Information Technology Manager John Mulhall explained the choice of the

Victoria Steward shows off her haul for winning the overall grand prize of the Strawberry Festival Talent Show on June 13.
By KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
MARYSVILLE — The Talent Show of the 82nd annual Strawberry Festival saw 11-year-old Marysville resident Victoria Steward take home not only first
place in the vocal and piano category for ages 11-12, but also the overall grand prize of the night, for singing and playing the piano to Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel.” Steward has been singing in public performances for eight years and playing
the piano for four years, although she hastened to add that she’s been singing for her own entertainment her whole life. “My sister had already performed in the Talent Show, so it became my goal to do that too,” said Victoria Steward, whose father Gary credited her with a great deal of persistence. “Being able to sing has always been my life’s dream.” “She’s not afraid to work at it,” Gary Steward said of his daughter’s singing and piano-playing. “She works very hard at it. She’s got a great work ethic.” Rosie Cooper, who’s served as Victoria’s piano teacher and voice coach for several years, was proud to be in the Talent Show’s audience at the MarysvillePilchuck High School auditorium on Thursday, June 13, when her student scored her big win. “She is so sweet,” Cooper said on June 13. “She’s just the best. She deserves everything she’s getting tonight.” Victoria plans to go to the Berklee College of Music in Boston when she’s older, and in the meantime, she’s been exercising her non-musical side with judo for eight years and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for three years. In the Talent Show’s nine other age- and skill-specific categories, first-prize awards went to Lucy Belle Hansen with “Big Noise” in vocals and dance for ages 5-8, Kennedy Miller with “Here I Am” in vocals for ages 12-13, Courtney Klawuhn with “Bound to You” in vocals for ages 13-14, Mandy Henrichsen with “Ave Maria” in vocals and instrumentals for ages 14-17, Brittany Collins with “Ho Hey” in vocals and instrumentals for ages 19 to adult, Dennis Sigler with “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” in vocals and instrumentals for ages 20 to adult, and Marvin Fritze with “Mama Called Her Angel” in vocals and instrumentals for adults. First place in dance for ages 5-10 went to Alexa Henkel, Danielle McCullum, Paige Richards, Mila Olason and Maquinna Wahlberg with “Building a Home,” while first place in vocals and dance for ages 10-13 went to Annalise Munoz, Tori Heisel, Tayler Reefe, Alicia Hawkins, Sadie Barczsyzyn and Abby Hau with “Werk Hard.” 625024
