Marysville Special Education PTSA Secretary Michele Olson, left, and President Amy Sheldon welcome district officials to their meeting on March 11.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Special Education PTSA meeting on Tuesday, March 11, featured appearances not only by Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg and Assistant Superintendent Ray Houser, but also by interim Special Education Services Executive Director Dave Gow and Director Dr. Bob Gose.

“We’re learning a ton from them,” said Houser,

who acknowledged that he and Gow still need to identify a specific vision and priorities for the district’s special education program.

“We know that we need a vision for the direction of this program, as well as transparency of decisionmaking and clear communication, especially given the complexities of special education,” Berg said.

“I’ve been very impressed with the dedication of your staff,” said Gow, who’s already conducted site visits to five schools in the dis-

trict, in addition to meeting with several parents individually. “We do need to identify those communication issues. We also need to look at our materials, training and staff development, to see where the holes are.

Hopefully, we can help provide a framework that our successors can follow.”

Gow agreed that it’s vital that para-educators are properly trained to respond to students with special needs, which Berg pointed out is additionally comSEE DIRECTORS, PAGE 2

COMMUNITY:

MARYSVILLE — Although the library of Shoultes Elementary suffered significant water damage in the wake of burst pipes just before winter break, the Marysville School District and Cobra Construction expect to have the impacted library space open for business later this spring.

Shoultes Elementary librarian Nancy Hammer recalled how a frozen pipe in the ceiling burst in her back office two weeks before Christmas and flooded about half her library. She credited maintenance worker Troy Sappingfield with coming into the school on a hunch on a Sunday, and cutting the flood short before it could do more damage.

“If he hadn’t been there to shut off the water, it would have destroyed more than

14,000 books in our library,” said Hammer, who noted that only about 100 books were lost instead.

Unfortunately for Hammer, virtually all of her belongings in her office were ruined, from her computer to the supplies for her annual Shoultes Elementary plays.

“When I came back to school after that weekend, I was an emotional wreck,” said Hammer, who was joined that day by MSD Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg. “She asked me if it was okay for a superintendent to give me a hug.”

One item that just so happened to survive the flooding, which reached a depth of five inches, was a scrapbook which Hammer had kept, which she then lent to Berg. That very night, another pipe burst directly over where Hammer had

plicated by the number of students whom school staff are expected to serve, thanks to several years of state funding cuts.

“We have too many students and not enough classes,” Berg said.

Several parents reiterated concerns that had previously been voiced at Marysville School Board meetings, with one mother noting that several teachers of her 17-yearold child at Marysville Getchell High School weren’t aware of her Individualized Education Program as late as December, while other mothers inquired about a para-professional who was moved to another school in the district after working at Marshall Elementary.

“The frustrating part of ongoing investigations is that we’re prohibited from commenting on personnel matters,” Houser said. When parents suggested that a climate existed which discouraged the reporting of such issues, he responded, more than once, “Then we’ve got a problem.”

Gow and Gose were asked about special education models at successful school districts with which they’ve served, since Gow served in the Shoreline School District for 30 years

kept her scrapbook, so she would have lost it as well if she hadn’t given it to Berg.

While Hammer lamented the loss of her personal items and supplies for the school plays, she’s been more concerned with the inconvenience to the students in her library, who have had to sit on the floor and write on clipboards, rather than sitting in chairs and writing on desks in the half of the library that hasn’t been separated from the rest with plastic tarps.

“These kids have been amazingly resilient, though,” said Hammer, even as she recalled one student who felt the need to jump up because his foot had fallen asleep from sitting so awkwardly. “They’re really good sports, even though the fifth-graders were looking forward to staging ‘The Wizard of Oz’ this year. It’s devastating to me that I won’t be able to give them that experience.”

“I’m intimately familiar with many

of those models, and they’re all structurally different,” Gow said.

“They’re all dynamic, people-oriented programs, but what works for one district might not transfer well over to another,” Gose said.

Berg pledged that parents would be included in the upcoming process to find permanent replacements for Gow and Gose, whose contacts end on June 30.

MSD Maintenance Manager John Bingham estimated that the building repair work itself could run roughly $22,000, with about another $20,000 to replace the fixtures, supplies and cabinetry, as new insulation and sheetrock are installed, the walls are repainted and the carpets are replaced.

“By the end of spring break, we should be using all of this space again, although we’ll still be waiting on new cabinets,” Bingham said.

“We’ll be using tables in the short term.”

Bingham explained that the school district is working with the Everett-based Cobra Construction to try and restore the space to as close to its former appearance and layout as possible.

In the meantime, while Hammer had planned to retire at the end of the next school year, she’s recently reevaluated that schedule.

“I think it’s just time,” said Hammer, who now expects to retire at the end of the current school year. “I keep looking at these kids, and they’re still adorable, so I don’t want to let my head go there yet, but there’s another teacher at Shoultes who might be able to take over directing the plays next year.”

“We just love Nancy,” said Lynn Heimsoth, principal of Shoultes Elementary.

“She’s always wanted to do the best for our children here, and even in her last year, she’s been looking at how we can serve them better.”

Ellis identified the cities’ next steps in the development of the MIC as collaborating on transportation planning and utilizing low-impact development standards.

“Like everything else, their roads and ours have to align just right,” Ellis said. “And a low-impact design is vital when the water table is so high.”

SMOKEY POINT — Slowly but surely the cities of Arlington and Marysville are making progress toward a joint manufacturing/industrial center, according to officials from both cities.

City of Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima spoke with The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times after Paul Ellis, community and economic development director for the city of Arlington, spoke to the Arlington City Council on Monday, March 10, about the two cities’ status in developing the manufacturing/industrial center.

Ellis noted that 54.8 percent of the MIC falls within Arlington’s boundaries, while the remaining 45.2 percent is part of Marysville. Like Hirashima, he sees the strength of the MIC as drawing not from either of the two specific cities, but from the area as a whole.

“Businesses aren’t choosing to come to Arlington or Marysville so much as they’re choosing to come to this region,” Hirashima said. “By providing an outlet for manufacturing and industry to grow in this region, we’d be bolstering employment and serving as a resource for the county as a whole.”

“The Arlington/ Marysville MIC has the potential to be Snohomish County’s second largest manufacturing/industrial employment center, after Paine Field in Everett,” Ellis said.

“It would complement Paine Field, rather than compete with it,” Hirashima said. “We’d both be contributing to the aerospace sector.”

Ellis listed a host of benefits to the MIC site; it’s centrally located between Seattle and British Columbia, it’s accessible via Interstate 5 and State Routes 9, 529, 530 and 531, it ties into an active rail spur and it includes a general aviation airport in Arlington.

“We’ve already worked with Marysville to regionalize our plans and provide adequate infrastructure to accommodate the growth of the MIC,” Ellis said.

“We’re also conscious of the need to align our economic

strategies. We’ve worked really hard to streamline our permitting process for new construction and new business, and I know Marysville has too.”

Mar ysville and Arlington’s respective Public Works directors, Kevin Nielsen and Jim Kelly, have also met with the Snohomish County Public Utility District to ensure that the two cities’ utility lines align seamlessly within the MIC as well.

“Arlington already has a lot more existing jobs and industrial development in place within the MIC,” Hirashima said. “Our side of the MIC is still largely vacant land. Arlington offers an advantage to businesses who want to be able to move into buildings more quickly, but if a business wants to own their own building, and to tailor it to their own needs, then a lot that’s still empty might be more what they’re looking for. We each come with our own benefits, and I’m glad that our joint MIC has that range of possibilities for businesses to work with, to serve different needs.”

Employment within the joint MIC boundary was 5,580 jobs as of 2012, and approximately 70 percent of those jobs were categorized as family-wage aerospace and high-tech industrial jobs. The MIC’s zoning includes general industrial, light industrial, business park and aviation flightline, with some areas of highway commercial and general commercial.

“Most of the area is underdeveloped and has more than 1,200 acres ready for development,”

A thousand shades of gray

H

e said, “Have a great day,” but I heard, “Have a gray day.” Why this reversal of mood? Why did I turn a happy wish into a downer? The simple reason is that I’m feeling SADness, or Seasonal Affective Disorder.

And from what I’ve gathered the SAD syndrome has gone viral hereabouts.

I’m normally pretty positive.

The glass half-full, sunny-side up, every cloud has a silver lining — that sort of mindset. But I’ve had my fill of soggy cold weather and links with clinging to my pillow after the alarm has gone off. For early risers it is still dark outside.

And wet. And cold. Why rush to face that sort of day?

Long-faced locals gather to share feelings of depression, apathy, listlessness and the various aches and pains that afflict sufferers of SAD. It’s been called a latitudinal ailment that strikes residents of the north. It’s also a climatic ailment, striking residents of cloudy west coast marine climates. It’s also a product of topography, targeting zones where hills and valleys duct air currents into collisions that muck up what might otherwise be sunny days.

I detected subtle variations in the cloud cover on the 7th of March. A basic gray lightened where the cloud thinned and darkened where thicker. Below, a

OPINION

BOB GRAEF

mineral gray Puget Sound lapped at the gunmetal gray of the lower beach that graded into slate gray upper beach, just below the gull gray of the sand above.

How do you like those names for those shades of gray? Like researchers who delve into causes for other ailments, I decided to learn more about the gray cause of SAD. So I picked up a copy of Ridgway’s Birds of North and Middle America that helps birders to identify bird species by gradations of color. Ridgway shows 115 shadings that span the range between off-white to nearly black.

The names given to shades of gray on paint cans don’t work so well, sounding as they do like the imaginings of blind poets, comfortable on the ear but offering few clues as to what’s inside. Among the Benjamin Moore paint catalog’s offerings are Old Soul, Gothic Arch, City Shadow, Wool Peacoat and Chateau. Go figure.

It would be better to have color names that mean something hereabouts. I’ve personally known soggy-shoes gray, rain-in-the-face gray, horizon-to-horizon flat gray,

is the sky every going to break gray, top-of-the-cloud pearl gray, run-for-cover gray, squall-line gray and you-can’t-tell-the-pavementfrom-the-sky gray. Each of those has dull-dry and wet-glossy versions.

If we have to spend so much time with gray, we ought to be able to voice each of its depressing natures. We live in clouds and rain like Eskimos live in snow. But they have more than 50 words for snow which tells me that they’ve studied their environment way more than we have.

Some don’t care to know our depressing winters better and flee.

More than a million snowbirds dodge the PNW’s gray season in RVs, staying away for an average of 12 weeks. An even greater number hole up in southern condos, apartments, park models and even tents. They swell the populations of Phoenix, Tucson, Palm Springs, Indio and Yuma to bursting where they busy themselves studying different shades of tan.

The snowbird’s intent is to avoid SAD much like the Europeans who once fled cities to avoid the Black Plague. And like those ancient refugees found, the act of running away, like flu-shots, is no guarantee of relief. The Mayor of Tulsa recently reported an outbreak of SAD in his city, proving that for a hapless few, you can run

but you can’t hide. Still, wintering in the south does reduce the odds of contracting the affliction.

Doctors and counselors have lists of home therapies for the majority of us who are unable to get out from under the gray. They say that lots of bright lights will help. Tropical fruits and umbrella drinks are supposed to have an effect. They encourage fighting back by indulging in winter sports.

Try staying busy, go to movies, they say.

Some say you can train your mind to find benefits in a Puget Sound winter. It’s cool enough to store beer on the porch, freeing up room in the fridge. No need to water or mow the lawn. Not so many guests from out of state to clutter the guest room. Green fees are cheaper and you sometimes have an entire course to yourself.

Studies show that stay-at-homes actually have less conscious time to be aware of the grayness. They try reading but doze off, shortening their days by some minutes.

Slumbering through long nights takes care of more time. As a final consolation, when things get too dreary, dismal, depressing and damp, remember that this too shall pass.

Have a gray day.

Lakewood superintendent announces retirement

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — On April 18, Dr. Dennis Haddock will mark the close of nine years with the Lakewood School District and 33 years in K-12 public education.

After serving as assistant superintendent of the Lakewood School District for three years, Haddock was selected to replace Larry Francois as superintendent in 2008.

Although Haddock had applied for the Marysville School District superintendent role that was left vacant by Dr. Larry Nyland last year, before Dr. Becky Berg was chosen to replace him, Haddock assured the community that he was not moving on to a new school district, but was instead simply moving on to greener pastures.

“Marysville was an opportunity I was interested in, but after that passed, I began contemplating retirement,” Haddock said. “The main reason I’m leaving before the end of the school year is to take advantage of the leave that I’ve accrued by scheduling some vacation time.”

In the meantime, Haddock expressed confidence in the stewardship of Dr. Michael Mack, director of student services

“Even with all the state mandates and state testing, our staff has never lost sight of the need to take care of the whole child, rather than just focusing singlemindedly on student achievement at all costs.”

Dr. Dennis Haddock, Superintendent, LWSD and Career and Technical Education for the Lakewood School District, who is currently slated to serve as the interim superintendent through June 30.

“Mike knows the district and its buildings, so he’s a great choice,” Haddock said.

“He’ll be able to help the new permanent superintendent transition into their role.”

When looking back on his own role, which began six years ago with a promise to build better partnerships with district parents, Haddock was quick to credit the Lakewood School District Board of Directors, school staff members and the surrounding community with contributing significantly to the successes that the district has enjoyed during his tenure.

“A lot of good initiatives were developed by all of us working collaboratively,” Haddock said. “Two to three years before the state had even mandated its instructional frameworks, we had already adopted one

of those three frameworks.

Our staff already had a great investment in working collaboratively before I came here, so I had the opportunity to support the practices that were in place.”

Haddock likewise lauded the Lakewood School District for fostering a culture centered on effective education, within which instructors examine their peers’ practices, as well as their own, in ways that Haddock sees as tying into the ongoing monitoring of student progress.

“Even with all the state mandates and state testing, our staff has never lost sight of the need to take care of the whole child, rather than just focusing single-mindedly on student achievement at all costs,” Haddock said. “There are all sorts of little things that school staff do every day, that have nothing to do with my leadership, that develop the character of these children by encouraging them to become creative learners who take

When pressed to cite his own positive contributions to the district during his tenure as superintendent, Haddock described himself as a good listener who has worked with the district and consulted with specialists to garner resources for students.

“I look forward to see-

ing the continued growth of this district,” Haddock said. “As long as you listen carefully, the support of the community and the commitment of the staff makes this really not that tough of a job. I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve worked in five other school districts, but I’ve appreciated the size and culture of Lakewood these past nine years. It allows a level of interconnectedness that you

can’t just mandate. When you have a critical mass of committed and energized people, it makes for a good team environment. These people get engaged in their work, and I appreciate all of their contributions.”

Haddock has no immediate plans for retirement, but expects he’ll soon be recruited into a number of activities around the community.

Marysville Rotary donates to Lakewood schools

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School District’s three elementary schools officially became recipients of the Rotary Club of Marysville’s generosity yet again on Wednesday, March 5.

Marysville Rotary President Daryn Bundy attended the Lakewood School Board meeting that evening to present an oversized check for $3,000, with $1,000 going to each of the libraries of Lakewood Elementary School, English Crossing Elementary and Cougar Creek Elementary.

“In the 14 years since the Marysville Rotary started its annual ‘Pumpkins for Literacy’ campaign, we’ve raised more than $200,000 for local schools,” said Bundy, who added that the allocations for this year’s funds will include $12,000 for Scholastic Press books for kindergarten through third-grade students.

“Those books will be distributed through those schools’ principals.

Kids who read do succeed.”

Bundy acknowledged that a host of other Halloween and autumn harvest pumpkin-purchasing options have sprung up in the area since the Marysville

Rotary pumpkin patch has started and kept chugging along, so he expressed his gratitude to those loyal supporters of “Pumpkins for Literacy,” who have returned to the Plant Farm in Smokey Point each October.

“Between family operations, grocery stores and corporate outlets, it’s been getting progressively harder to squeeze out those dollars, so we really appreciate those folks who take the time to come on by, year after year,” Bundy said.

Bundy went on to tout the Rotary Club of Marysville’s further connections to the Lakewood School District through Marysville

Rotarian and Lakewood High School Principal Dale Leach, who will serve as faculty chair for the incoming Rotary Interact Club, which Bundy expects will be chartered by this June.

“It’s all about the students, really applying themselves to supporting community service right here in Lakewood,” Bundy said. “It’s run

by Rotary, but it’s still the students’ club.”

Bundy had previously presented an oversized check for $10,000 to the Marysville School District’s Board of Directors on Jan. 21.

acknowledged that the “Pumpkins for Literacy” program’s methods of allocating its funds have undergone slight revisions in recent years, but asserted that its focus on literacy programs has remained intact.

“We’re always looking for the most effective ways to impact literacy with the monies we raise,” said Edmonds, who recalled how Rotary had previously dispensed dictionaries to third-grade students, but in 2012 began handing out thousands of Scholastic Press books to first- through thirdgraders throughout Marysville and Lakewood.

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

Pediatric dentists provide care for young patients ARLINGTON — Dr. Justin Smith, of Arlington Pediatric Dentistry, believes that most pediatric dentists go into the field for the same reasons that he did.

“Our goal for our young patients is the same goal that their parents have in bringing them to us,” Smith said. “We want children to have the best experiences possible when they receive dental care, so that their experiences don’t put up any barriers between them and further dental treatments in the future. Most pediatric dentists had a bad experience or two when we were kids, which is why we feel so strongly about not passing on such traumas to future generations.”

According to Smith, starting children’s dental appointments early is at least as important as providing them with pleasant experiences.

“Parents should be bringing their children into the

dentist six months after their first teeth have erupted, which usually falls right around a child’s first birthday,” Smith said. “During that first appointment, your family’s pediatric dentist should consult with you about your child’s diet, and how you can keep their teeth clean to prevent tooth decay. The goal should be that your child never has a cavity. We prefer prevention to treatment after the fact.”

Smith warns healthconscious parents that even healthy foods and liquids can do damage to teeth if allowed to linger in children’s mouths.

“Breast milk and formula are good for helping your child’s development by providing them with vitamins, but if they sit on kids’ teeth overnight, whether they’re healthy or not, any carbohydrates can ferment and become acidic,” Smith said.

“As those kids get older, fruit juices and fruit snacks often become the next common culprit for causing cavities, because they tend to stick to

Angela “Angie” L. Burghduff p a s s e d away to her Savior Jesus on January 27, 2014 in M a r ysv i l le, WA. Angela was born April 28, 1976 in Fresno, CA and lived her life in WA. Angela attended Marysville Pilchuck High School and Seattle Highline High School, later earning her GED. She completed college courses for a counseling degree.

Angela worked for years as a Managed Care Claims Processor at Providence General Hospital, and at Premera Blue Cross Insurance.

A ngela wi l l b e remembered for her beauty, loving heart, friendly personality and adventurous spirit. Her sons, Ruben Jr. and Diego, are the love and joy of Angela’s heart and life. She enjoyed gardening, nature, pets, music, movies, comedy, reading, interior decorating, photographic design, and having fun.

With her gardening abilities,

she nurtured flowers and plants to bloom with beauty.

Angela is survived by her beloved sons, Ruben Castillo Jr. and Diego Salazar; by her mother, Lorraine and stepfather, Will Miller; sister, Lisa (Hameed) Marshall; brother, Micah Miller; brothers, Scott and Matt; niece, Jenika; nephews, Jacob and Mekai; grandparents, Don and Maybelle Pearson, and Marlene and Duane Bolton; and also by many other extended family members and friends.

Angela is preceded in death by her sister, Kristina “Tina” Burghduff. Angela will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her. A Memorial Service for Angela was held on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at Marysville Free Methodist Church with Graveside Service at Evergreen Cemetary in Everett, WA.

teeth and are high in sugar.”

Smith explained that how frequently children drink fruit juice has as much of an impact as the amount of fruit juice they drink.

“If your kid is sipping from a juice box all day long, they’re constantly introducing their teeth to more sugar,” Smith said.

“Pediatric dentists will joke that we’d rather have a kid drink a gallon of a super-sugary drink in 15 minutes at lunchtime than have them sipping a more watered-down sugary drink for eight hours.”

Smith acknowledged that other potential dental traumas, such as toddlers cutting their gums or chipping their teeth as they bump into things or fall down, aren’t always preventable, but recommended that younger children be taken to the dentist every six months, to help deal with any number of dramatic changes.

“A child can quickly go from having six to 16 teeth,” said Smith, who refers parents for orthodontic exams when their children are as young as 7 years. “They won’t get anything like braces until they’re around 12, but early referrals can correct a number of issues,

A dental chore that’s often overlooked by patients, but is important at any age, is proper flossing, even when children only have their baby teeth.

“Even if your child has a healthy diet and is doing a

great job of brushing their teeth, they can still get cavities between their teeth if they’re not flossing,” Smith said. “And when those cavities come, they usually come in pairs, because of how close together their teeth are.”

Smith is frequently asked how important baby teeth are, since they eventually fall out anyway.

teeth, have three main functions,” Smith said. “First, they allow children to chew.

The importance of pain-free feeding directly relates to your child’s diet, nutrition and overall health. Second, baby teeth are important for speech development, and finally, they provide a pathway for permanent teeth to erupt in a timely manner.

Premature tooth loss, from cavities or infection, allows the remaining teeth to move into those empty spaces, and ultimately cause crowding, while cavities on baby teeth can cause permanent teeth to have a higher cavity susceptibility.”

The sooner that cavities are diagnosed and treated, the less invasive the treatment will be.

‘For the Love of Music Auction’ raises $12K

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck High School Music Boosters’ “For the Love of Music Auction” not only narrowly exceeded its turnout goals on Saturday, March 8, but it also bested its fundraising totals from last year.

Kirby Taylor, president of the M-PHS Music Boosters, reported that the evening’s event managed to squeeze four extra chairs into the Gleneagle Golf Course Country Club, in addition to the 84 chairs that had already been booked.

“We had people who wanted us to offer 100 or even 120 seats for this year’s auction,

but I asked them, where do you think you’ll be getting those folks from?” Taylor laughed. “As for dollars, I’d guestimate that we generated about $12,000, which is 20 percent higher than last year’s amount, and simply no comparison to previous years, when we were actually losing money on this event. We spent a lot of time and effort on finding ways to curtail the costs of this year’s event, so we could keep about 90 percent of what we made.”

Taylor expressed her appreciation to the auction’s many and varied donors, from a host of local artists to a number of bakers and jewelers who incorporated treble-cleft musical symbols into their cookies and earrings to

complement the cause of the night.

“Ethical Choices of Everett supplied us with a number of fair-trade items, because you don’t want to support kids by selling things that were made on the backs of other kids,” Taylor said. “And Lizzy’s Jewelry of Marysville was wonderfully supportive. We even received a heritage quilt, that had been passed down through four or five generations of a family. What made this such a great team, in part, was that anyone and everyone was willing to donate, and many hands make light work.”

The proceeds from this event will go to support the roughly 120 students in the music programs of the

Marysville School District, including the M-PHS Jazz Band, Choir and Color Guard, all three of which performed that night.

“There are people who think we only serve the marching band, but we do it all,” Taylor said. “We do this for all our young Marysville musicians, who are going out

Local women play for Everett Reign

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — With equality becoming more mainstream in sports, women’s football is on the rise.

Not flag-football, not two-hand touch, but 11-on-11 full-contact gridiron football.

Two women from Marysville participate in the sport locally — LeAnn Layman and Melissa Hendren.

Layman has played center for Everett’s Women Football Alliance team, the Everett Reign for a year.

“Women’s football is one of the fastest growing sports right now,”

Layman said.

Like the other women on the Everett Reign, Layman does not get paid. “We all just play this because we love it,” she said.

Layman got involved with football to help her son with football as a single parent. “My son wanted me to play football,” she said.

Marysville native LeAnn Layman, left, plays center for the Everett Reign.

Now, with her son as a freshman in high school, Layman feels she has achieved that. “I’m not for sitting around,” she said.

Layman has played full-contact football for five years. She was involved with Tacoma Trauma before playing for the Everett Reign. The Reign began its second season this year. Last season, the Reign went 5-7, including preseason.

Layman was also part of USA Football, an event that was the first of its kind to allow women football players from around the world to compete in Dallas, Texas.

Prior to her career in football, Layman participated in track and field, and cross country in high school.

She was discovered by the Reign’s head coach, Billy Russo, during a powder puff game. When she was appointed as captain due to her prior experience in women’s football, she was honored to take it on.

Now playing as team captain of the offensive line for Reign, Layman assists her fellow players in understanding the plays, and pushes her team members to do better. “I help educate and teach technique for the rookies,” she said. “I’m always there anytime

when they need that extra help.”

Hendren is also from Marysville.

Hendren is a rookie and does not have any prior experience playing the sport.

Hendren played softball in high school, but decided to give football a try very recently.

Hendren likes the sport for obvious reasons. “I love learning the sport and tackling,” Hendren said. “It’s something new that I have never experienced before. I absolutely love it.”

She tried out one day and knew she made the team when coach Russo gave her a call.

Hendren currently plays guard and tackle on the offensive line, with Layman as her mentor. “She is awesome. She is amazing,” Hendren said. “She makes sure we understand every single play.”

The Everett Reign had its first preseason game on March 1 in Las Vegas against the Showgirls, but lost 28-0. The team plays at Everett Memorial Stadium, hosting five home games. The Reign’s next home game will be March 22 against the Utah Falconz.

Rome, Torie host throwing clinic at M-PHS

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — MarysvillePilchuck High School will host a throwing clinic, March 15 at 10 a.m., conducted by M-P graduate and former Olympic thrower Jarred Rome.

Rome competed in the 2004 and 2012 Olympics. He graduated from M-P in 1995 and is the current throwing coach for the Concordia University in Portland, Ore. Rome will be accompanied

by Marysville native Mike Torie, who has been coached under Rome for a couple of years.

Torie is currently training to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics under the instruction of Rome.

Specializing in the discus, Torie hopes to shine in the upcoming Olympic Games. “I want a medal,” he said.

“It’s my third season with him,” Torie said of Rome. “It’s really been just a blessing for me.”

Since Torie has been under Rome’s wing, he has made substantial gains in his throws. Torie

was ranked No. 5 in the nation last year. “Ever since then, my throws have been taking off,” he said.

A resident of Simi Valley, Calif., since 2012, Torie coaches throwing at Simi Valley High School.

How the two met was quite the story.

Graduating from Lakewood High School in 2004, Torie was largely a self-taught thrower, even going into college.

During his high school career, Torie won District Championship in discus in his senior year.

Torie enrolled in Lindenwood University in 2005 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education in 2009. He entered with an academic scholarship, with an intent of throwing, and resumed throwing to build a foundation. He did pretty well while at the NEIA school, but knew he needed some extra help.

“I was coaching myself and it wasn’t working out,” he said.

“Rome fine-tuned everything.”

As a professional, he competed on the USA World University Team in Serbia in July 2009.

During that time, he placed 10th in the World University.

He discovered local thrower Rome from watching several YouTube videos while observing his form in 2005.

Sometime later, when Torie was still in Missouri, he contacted Rome by a Facebook message which led to a phone call to talk about being trained under him.

The two met in person when they were both in Marysville, in December of 2010 at a Gold’s Gym, to work out together.

Now, with the two meeting again in Marysville, the aim of the clinic is to garner the interest of potential athletes of all ages in the sport of the throwing. “I hope it really proves that throws are athletic too,” Torie said.

Unlike most of the more well known sports, throwing tends to fly under the radar in terms of popularity.

For more information about the throws clinic, visit www. jarredrome.org.

Tulalip Heritage boys finish in sixth place at State Tournament

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Tulalip Heritage boys basketball team placed sixth in the state, while they were at Spokane competing in the WIAA 1B State Basketball Tournament.

After defeating WilburCreston 81-64 in the 1B Regionals game on March 1, the Hawks went on to fight for a place in State.

But their game against

Neah Bay was anti-climatic.

In the first round of the State Tournament, Tulalip went up against Neah Bay on March 6. Tulalip defeated Neah Bay, Feb. 22, 68-66, but Neah Bay made an unexpected comeback on March 6.

The Tulalip boys controlled all four quarters, until Neah Bay turned on in the last minutes of the game. “It wasn’t result we were looking for,” Fryberg said. “We basically gave the game away.”

Fryberg said it was a

demoralizing game that impacted their performance at State. “The game affected them,” Fryberg said.

Tulalip was knocked to the loser-out bracket. On March 7, they defeated Wellpinit, 79-69, to compete for fourth or sixth place in State.

The Hawks performance in the winner-fourth, losersixth game, however, was less then ideal on March 8.

“They didn’t show up,” Fryberg said.

The Hawks struggled to

keep pace with Three-Rivers Christian. They lost, 63-49, placing sixth in the State.

Though the result at Spokane fell short of what they were hoping for, the Tulalip boys still finished strong in their season.

“I reminded the boys of their achievements,” Fryberg said. “On the way home they

were in good spirits.”

Tulalip finished at the top of its conference with an overall record of 25-3, and a conference record of 11-1.

“It was still a good season for the kids,” Fryberg said.

It was the first time the boys Fryberg has coached appeared in Spokane. “These kids have never been to the

State Tournament before,” Fryberg said. “It’s something they will never forget. It’s quite an accomplishment.”

Fryberg said the team set a goal early in the season to get where they wanted to be. “We set up a goal to get to State,” he said. “We pushed them hard to get to that level. They did a great job.”

badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Though they lost in their last two games of the season, the Tulalip Heritage Lady Hawks still exceeded their own expectations when they made it to the WIAA 1B State Girls Basketball Tournament in Spokane, March 6-7.

The Hawks ended up placing seventh in State, despite having some players who had never played the sport before this season.

“Our goal was to take League, and we made it to State,” Tulalip head coach Justina Brown said. “We had three or four girls that have never played basketball before.”

The girls made it through Regionals just fine when they defeated Mary Knight, 68-42, on March 1.

“It was a great trip for the girls because they had not been to Spokane before,” Brown said.

Last season, the Hawks fell short in Regionals and did not make it to State.

“Considering the pool they were in, they did great,” Brown said.

But when the Hawks entered the 1B State

Bracket this season, they were placed against some hefty competition.

“We went up against the defending champs,” Brown said.

That team was Colton, which has won its sixth consecutive 1B Girls Championship this year.

In the first round, Tulalip faced off against the champions on March 6.

They were unable to match Colton, to whom they lost 89-27.

On March 7, Tulalip played a loser-out game against Wilbur Creston, but were again defeated, 76-38.

Brown still appreciated the effort her team put in as their season came to a close. “They played with heart, and never gave up until the end,” she said.

Though Tulalip was beaten in its two final games, they still finished with an impressive record.

Tulalip finished its 2014 season with an overall record of 22-6, and a conference record of 10-0.

“I’m most proud of their heart, dedication and hard work,” Brown said.

Treasure Trove Antique Appraisal debuts at KBCC MARYSVILLE — The Treasure Trove Antique Appraisal Show made a successful debut at the Ken Baxter Community Center on Saturday, March 8, according to city of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Maryke Burgess.

Sponsored by The Cottages at Marysville, this event afforded attendees a unique opportunity to have items ranging from jewelry to furniture examined by a trio of professional appraisers who

offered verbal histories and market value assessments of each item.

“Everyone was happy to learn more about their treasures,” Burgess said. “Some people were excited to learn the value of their items, while others thought it was great to learn more history about certain pieces. While our antique enthusiasts were waiting their turn, I noticed a lot of conversation and sharing of stories among the participants. As they got closer to their turn, the ones right behind them were eager to listen in on those appraisals.”

Burgess touted the extensive expertise of the event’s three appraisers: Bette Bell, who specializes in textiles, quilts and Asian goods; Kathleen Victor, who’s more studied in jewelry, toys, ads and artwork; and Don Jensen, featured on PBS’s Antiques Roadshow for seven seasons, who brought with him a wealth of knowledge on silver, furniture and fine art.

“People brought in their pottery, silver, furniture and jewelry,” Burgess said. “One person hefted in an end table that was worth more than $1,000, while another had a

Native American purse that wasn’t worth as much as she’d thought, but she was still fascinated by what Don had to say about its history, which she looked forward to telling others. Two ladies were just smiling from ear to ear on their way out, because they couldn’t wait to go through their houses, to bring things back for the next time.”

Mike and Cheryl Berry were one couple who spoke with Jensen, and they were surprised to learn that the Chinese vase that Mike had inherited — from his grandfather’s stepfather, Frank Meachum — could be worth between $800 to $1,000.

“This was Don’s conservative estimate, until we can get the words on the vase deciphered,” Mike Berry said. “I had no idea, and it was such a treat to hear that from someone who’s so well known in that field. We’d like to do this again in about six months or so.”

The Berrys were among those who bolstered the event’s turnout, which filled up its pre-appointment list

Don Jensen, featured on PBS’s Antiques Roadshow for seven seasons, shares some of the history of the items that are brought to him during the Treasure Trove Antique Appraisal Show at the Ken Baxter Community Center on March 8. a week in advance, even as event organizers still sought to accommodate drop-in participants during the day itself.

“It was nice that the dropin participants didn’t have to wait too long before seeing the appraisers,” Burgess said.

“On average, the appraisers spent about five minutes per item, looking them over.”

In response to the Berrys, and a number of other attendees who inquired as

to when this event might return, Burgess would love to make the Treasure Trove Antique Appraisal Show an annual feature each March at the Ken Baxter Community Center.

“The jewelry that people brought in was so ornate and interesting, but the most notable moment of the day for me was just seeing the sheer delight on people’s faces,” Burgess said.

Ingraham departs on seven-month deployment EVERETT — The Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate USS Ingraham (FFG 61) departed Naval Station Everett on Tuesday, March 11, for a seven-month deployment to the U.S. 4th Fleet area of responsibility.

During the deployment, Ingraham will support Operation Martillo by conducting counter-drug patrols in the Eastern Pacific Ocean off the coast of Central and South America, and in the Caribbean Sea. Launched in January of 2012, Operation Martillo targets illicit trafficking routes and is an “The internaIngraham tional, intercrew has agency spent the operalast year t i o n which preparing includes for this the part i c i p a - deployment.” tion of 14 Cmdr. Joey Frantzen countries USS Ingraham committed to a regional approach against transnational criminal organizations moving illicit cargo.

U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment 104 and the “Scorpions” of Helicopter AntiSubmarine Light 49 will embark with Ingraham for the deployment.

The Ingraham’s crew of approximately 200 personnel is commanded by Cmdr. Joey Frantzen from Saint Donatus, Iowa.

“The Ingraham crew has spent the last year preparing for this deployment,” said Frantzen. “While we will miss our families and loved ones, we are excited and looking forward to the unique opportunity to work closely with our friends and allies while in support of our nation’s longstanding commitment to keep the world’s oceans free.”

Ingraham’s motto is the “last and the finest,” and the ship is the final Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate to be built.

Safety needs to be a priority when kids play sports

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — While keeping kids active is important, keeping them physically safe in the process is just as vital.

Dr. Vuong Vo, of Performance Chiropractic in Marysville, tends more toward the athletic side of chiropractic which has brought a lot of young athletes to his office with injuries incurred on the field, but he focuses just as much on trying to prevent children and teens from getting injured while playing sports.

“I work with athletes to enhance their performance naturally by providing them with the body mechanics that afford the best ways of utilizing and getting the most out of their bodies,” Vo said.

“With kids in general, it’s most often a lack of preparation and intensity in those body mechanics that causes them to come to me with such injuries.”

Vo touted the value of strength training, even among younger children, to help grant greater endurance to the most-used joints in sports — the shoulders, knees and ankles — in spite of the

stresses of the repetitive use that those joints go through as a result of sports and other strenuous activities.

“I show them ways to check themselves and make their bodies last longer,” Vo said. “It’s a bit of a taboo subject among doctors, asking how early is too early to start strength training, and certainly, I’m not talking about putting little kids into body-building programs.

Even cross-fit training would be too intensive for younger ages. I’m just talking about building core strength in the areas around those major joints so that they move like they should and aren’t compromised.”

Vo elaborated that calisthenics can be valuable in this regard, in addition to light weightlifting, depending on the physical attributes of the young athlete in question, as well as which sport he or she is preparing to play.

“There are lots of determining factors,” Vo said. “I wouldn’t want to see young kids lifting 40-50 pounds of weights, but if, say, they’re going into peewee football, the age of 8 or 9 would be good for them to start lifting one-pound weights, to learn

those proper body mechanics. If you teach your joints to move in the correct ways off the field, they’ll do so on the field, which lessens your chances of tearing your tendons or suffering other bad push-backs when you get hit.”

Vo also advised parents to watch their kids’ movements, to check for any signs of potential or budding injuries.

“As you’re on the sidelines, look at how their bodies are interacting,” Vo said. “If they favor their right leg or their left shoulder, they may be hurting. A lot of parents take it for granted that their kids will get hurt playing sports, but if they train and perform better, they’ll spend less time seeing guys like me.”

Kelli Graves, trauma coordinator at Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington, wants parents and coaches alike to take more seriously a frequent sports injury that has no outward signs.

“If you have a kid with a broken arm or a broken leg, there’s not a coach in the world that’s going to send them back out to play,” Graves said. “But a broken brain? We do it all the time. Traumatic brain injuries can range from not being able to walk or talk,

“Anything that requires an intense thought process is out,” Graves said. “The symptoms of a concussion can last as long as a year, but if they’re persisting as long as six to 10 weeks, you need to see a concussion specialist, like a neurologist. An MRI might not show a lot, but after six to 10 weeks, you’ll want an MRI to see if there might be a small bleed.”

According to Graves, the top sports for concussions are football, bicycling, basketball

and girls soccer.

“Girls soccer results in more concussions than any other sport,” Graves said.

“Girls’ sports are not like they used to be. The girls themselves are bigger, stronger and more aggressive than they used to be.”

While properly fitted sports equipment, such as helmets, play an essential role in helping to prevent concussions, no young athlete is entirely immune.

“It’s the second concussion that has the most long-term effects,” Graves said. “If you can’t see an injury, it’s easy to let it slide, but if you have a brain injury, you have to let it rest.”

to simple concussions from sports, but it’s still a traumatic brain injury.”

Graves pointed out that concussions can have a greater impact on younger people, because their neurons are still forming and their brains have more room to move around inside their skulls. She also warned that neither parents nor coaches should treat the loss of consciousness as the standard by which to judge a concussion’s severity.

“Most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness,” Graves said. “Parents might think, ‘Oh, he didn’t pass out, so it’s no big deal,’ but it can be just as bad.”

Among the symptoms of concussions that Graves listed are an inability to concentrate, a susceptibility to sensory overload, and an inability to stand up on their own, or to recall the events immediately preceding the concussion.

“They’ll typically be dazed, confused and stunned right after they’ve been concussed, and longer term, you could see behavior changes, or forgetting class schedules or assignments,” Graves said.

“That’s along with symptoms like headaches, nausea and sensitivity to light.”

Donald Bennett Williams was born in Athens, Georgia to Daniel and Frances Williams on May 20, 1935. With his passing on March 4, 2014, Don joins his daughter, Trish Williams, and many other family members, as they celebrate eternity in the arms of the Lord.

Don moved to California with his mother and two younger sisters after high school. He joined the Army and served with the 7th Cav Division, 31st Infantry Regiment “Polar Bears” in Korea, and was a recipient of the Korean Service Defense medal among others. He also served with the 1st Cav Division, 8th Infantry in Japan, and finished his service with the 6th Army at Fort Irwin, California.

Don met his wife Carol in California September 18, 1965. They were married May 21, 1966 in Las Vegas, enjoying 48 years together. He really enjoyed sports; he never forgot his love for University of Georgia football but extended it to include the University of Washington Huskies and was thrilled to see his Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII! He retired from the Washington State Department of Corrections, where he was named the Twin Rivers Correctional Officer of the Year in 1989.

Don loved volunteering, especially his 10-plus years with South Everett Little League. His fondest umpiring memory

was “behind the plate’ at the Senior State girl’s softball game in Walla Walla. He was a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and served as Post Commander, Boyer Daniel Post 1561 in Arlington WA, and as District 1 Commander for the Dept of Washington. He was a member of American Legion Post 76, also in Arlington, and the Early Bird Lions Club in Everett, holding leadership positions in both of those organizations.

Don loved God & country, and cherished his family more than life itself. He is survived by his wife Carol, daughters Michelle Edwards (Doug), Sharon Abraham (Dalen), Janet Johnston (Scott), grandchildren Aaron, Gabriel (Jordan), Christian, and Nathaniel Boughner, AnnMarie Johnston, and Emma and Evan Abraham; great-grandsons Noah and Jonas Boughner; nephew David Ballard (Michelle), and other family. He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter Trish in 1985, his parents, sisters Annette and Harriett, and nephew Danny.

Don was his Family’s Hero, the Best Husband, the Best Dad, and the Best Grandpa ever! They will love him forever!

Memorial donations may be made in his memory to Housing Hope in Everett WA (www.housinghope.org ) or to the VFW National home for Children in Eaton Rapids MI. (www.vfwnationalhome.org).

The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

Mayor, City Council members travel to D.C.

MARYSVILLE — Just after 9 a.m. on Thursday, March 13, an espresso stand located in the 10300 block of State Avenue in Marysville was robbed at gunpoint.

A male suspect approached the stand on foot, displayed a handgun and demanded money.

The suspect is described as short, standing approximately 5 feet to 5 feet, 4 inches tall, with a skinny build. He was wearing a gray hoodie and dark-colored baggy sweatpants, and was wearing a black, fullface ski mask at the time of the robbery.

A K-9 was able to track the suspect a short distance, to an area where it is believed the suspect got into a vehicle and fled.

Anyone who has information regarding this crime is asked to contact Marysville Police Detectives at 360-3638350.

local level to fund initial planning and engineering of these important projects, and that, through the proposed Transportation Benefit District measure to go before voters on the April 22 ballot, we are seeking local options to take care of street preservation and other smaller projects that we can manage at the local level,” Nehring said.

Beyond transportation-related issues, the Marysville contingent also expressed the need for capital funding tied to aquatic recreation, trail funding and public access in the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project, underway by the Tulalip Tribes and a host of state and federal agencies.

Marysville officials also thanked the Washington delegation for Community Development Block Grant funding that is benefitting Marysville’s senior citizens in need of minor home repairs, as well as a food bank backpack program that provides weekend meals to students in need during the school year, domestic violence advocacy services, and the Comeford Park Spray Park that is nearing construction and slated for completion this summer.

large-scale transportation infrastructure investments too big to fund at the local level, and other capital funding needs. Marysville officials keyed in first on the Interstate 5 and State Route 529 interchange expansion project, to build new on- and-off ramps further south of Marysville, to reduce congestion and enable traffic to avoid the at-grade railroad crossing on Fourth Street downtown.

They also asked federal and state agencies to explore mitigation for negative impacts caused by increased coal train activity in the event of new coal terminal construction, keeping in mind the need for steady freight mobility important to commerce, economic development and jobs.

The Marysville officials further sought help with funding to convert the I-5/156th Street overcrossing to a full interchange, with on- and off-ramps, noting that the initial project to complete the overcrossing was funded through a public-private partnership with property owners.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Marysville City Council members joined other Washington state officials, as part of an estimated 2,000 local leaders from across the country, at the annual Congressional City Conference from March 8-12 in Washington, D.C. The Congressional City Conference is the annual legislative meeting of the National League of Cities, designed to inform municipal leaders about federal policy issues while providing an opportunity for city leaders to bring local concerns to their federal elected officials.

Along with interacting with fellow local officials during the conference and attending policy board meetings, the Marysville contingent also spent valuable time with the area’s Congressional delegation, including Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and 2nd District Congressman Rick Larsen.

City officials shared their priorities, including

Poochapalooza seeks vendors, sponsors MARYSVILLE — The eighth annual Marysville Poochapalooza is seeking pet-related vendors and business sponsors for Snohomish County’s biggest summertime outdoor dog event celebrating pet lovers and their four-legged best friends.

This year’s event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, at Strawberry Fields Athletic Park, located at 6100 152nd St. NE. Poochapalooza is sponsored by the Marysville Dog Owners Group.

“The ‘Pooch’ is a fun,

romping day out for pet owners, a chance to see dogs in action, and a variety of activities that highlight pooches at their best and brightest,” Poochapalooza founder and M-DOG President Leslie Buell said.

“If dogs were event planners, they’d do Poochapalooza.”

Poochapalooza donations, event sponsorships and vendor fee proceeds support park improvements at Marysville’s Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park, as well as ongoing stewardship at the park as provided by M-DOG, on behalf

of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department, in addition to contributing toward costs for making Poochapalooza bigger and better for participants.

This year’s Poochapalooza promises to be another spectacular event, according to Buell, and M-DOG wants to offer businesses the opportunity to get involved.

There are many ways to partner with M-DOG to promote your business, from simply donating products to becoming an event sponsor, or meeting faceto-face with all the dogs, pet lovers and hoopla with a booth of your own at the event.

“Poochapalooza has grown each year to become the existing event that it is due greatly to sponsorship and donations,” Buell said.

“We couldn’t do it without corporate help.”

Poochapalooza highlights include Flyball exhibitions, a flying disc local championship, dancing dogs, an agility course, Best in Show contests — including dog pie-eating, best kisser, wackiest pet trick and best voice — the “Running of the Wieners” dachshund races,

the new Doggie Dessert Dash and obstacle course, and more than four dozen vendors. The Fashions & Rescues Runway Show features adoptable rescue dogs from six rescue agencies, modeling the latest fashions from Seattle-based doggie wear designers, fusing a little urban chic with the farm fields of Marysville.

“Our goal always is to find lovable homes for the rescue dogs,” Buell said. “Our shows these past two years have helped find good homes and families for two dozen dogs, working with participating rescue groups at the event.”

Poochapooza annually draws between 3,200 to 4,000 visitors, and just as many dogs, according to Buell.

Public admission and parking are free. Donations are greatly welcomed, however, with a minimum $5 donation receiving a goodiefilled “wag bag” for the first 500 visitors.

Vendor forms, booth prices and general event information are available on the Poochapalooza website at http://poochapalooza.org.

For more information, contact Buell at 425-268-5285 or labuell@frontier.com.

Mary Jane Miller receives her Volunteer of the Month award from Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring.

Miller honored for community service

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring is proud to honor Mary Jane Miller as Volunteer of the Month for her decades-long community service that has benefitted local students, hospital patients and their loved ones, as well as many others fortunate enough to know her.

“Mary Jane has touched so many lives, and it isn’t until you look at her selfless volunteerism from every angle that you begin to realize that it cuts across many generations,” Nehring said, as he presented the award to Miller at a recent City Council meeting, which was also attended by her daughter Susie.

For 27 years, Miller has served as a board member on the Career and Technical Education General Advisory Council for the Marysville School District, and has chaired the Marysville Alternative High School Site Council, for what’s now known as Marysville Mountain View High School.

Rather than simply donating money, Miller prefers to work directly with Mountain View students and staff at the school itself.

She often questions students and staff to see how contributions can best be used to help students succeed, and she recently dared students that she would take

them bowling if they earned good grades. According to Nehring, she made good on her challenge, “prompting a run on bowling shoe rentals.”

Miller has also given generously to the MarysvillePilchuck High School Music Department and Booster Club, and her equally significant work with the Marysville Soroptomists was also cited. Through her involvement in education and Soroptimist activities, Miller has been named the National Camp Fire Council Woman of the Year, the Vocational Education Contributor of the Year and the recipient of a Paul Harris Fellow Award from the Marysville Rotary Club.

Miller has long had a soft spot for senior citizens, and she seeks to bring a little entertainment into their days. For years, she and her husband Ross, who passed away last October, went to the Marysville Care Center to lead sing-a-longs each month, to celebrate the residents’ birthdays.

Miller’s service extends outside Marysville as well.

She is currently on the board of Providence General Children’s Association, and now serves as president of Guild VIII of the association. She has also volunteered in the Family Surgery Waiting Room at Providence for decades.
