MARYSVILLE — While event organizers acknowledged that it got off to a slightly modest start, the Marysville YMCA’s first Summer Art Fair was soon bustling with onlookers in the parking lot outside of the Y and its adjacent Youth Development Center on the afternoon of Saturday, July 27, taking advantage of the milling crowds that had been drawn by the flea market in that same location. Half a dozen Puget Sound visual artists demonstrated their craft, including chainsaw carver Ken Ballenger of Seatttle, who sculpted a hummingbird statue from wood while fellow Seattle artist Tora Hennessey, a former native of Marysville, returned to her old hometown to involve curious kids in her interactive artwork.

“I do relief printmaking,” said Hennessey, before she guided a trio of teenagers in carving pictures and patterns into pieces of linoleum. “You can take these prints and send them to a commercial press, or hand-press them yourself onto walls, cloth or paper.” Hennessey offered both flooring linoleum and softer linoleum, the latter for those who preferred an easier carving material, and touted relief printing as a cost-effective method of reproducing images over and over. “Not everybody can purchase their own art prints, so this makes it more affordable,” Hennessey said. “I’m getting to like this style of art,” said 18-year-old Emily Barrett, as she and her 16-year-old sisters Bella and Elizabeth joined her in carvSEE FAIR, PAGE 2

Snohomish County Executive John Lovick addresses the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce during its Business Before Hours on July 26.

TULALIP — “Jobs, jobs, jobs” was how John Lovick described his focus to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on Friday, July 26, but during the Chamber’s Business Before Hours meeting that morning, the recently appointed Snohomish County Executive also recalled examples of leadership from his own life as he told the Chamber members that they were the leaders of their community. “I never in a million years thought I’d be the County Executive,” said Lovick, who

cited the significant legacies that his predecessors have established in that role. “I’m not Willis Tucker, or Bob Drewel, or Aaron Reardon, but I will do my absolute best for you. Snohomish County is a tremendously great place to live, work and play, and it has become home to me. Everything in the world that you could want is right here.” Rather than referring to the unemployment rate, Lovick noted that the county has an employment rate of 95.3 percent, and while he deemed this a statistic to be proud of, he also pledged to personally promote more jobs for county citizens.

“We have a right to be happy with where we are, but we shouldn’t be pleased until everyone who wants a job in this county has one,” Lovick said. “We should be talking about jobs every single day. We can’t expect others to support us if we don’t do it ourselves.” After praising Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith during his opening remarks, Lovick went on to commend the dedication and talent of all the city and county officials in Snohomish County, describing its city councils in particular as “the foot-soldiers of democracy.” SEE LOVICK, PAGE 2
