MARYSVILLE – While racial protests and violence are taking place across the country, the Tulalip Tribes and Marysville schools are making efforts to mend fences.

“We’ve been adversaries for so long,” said Denny Hurtado with the state schools office.

Ever since indians were sent to boarding schools in 1987 to “kill the culture, but save the man, there has been a lot of mistrust with education,” he said.

MARYSVILLE – Raze the cafeteria as quickly as possible.

Build a new cafeteria in a different location.

Pass a bond for a new school. “We want new like MG.” Those were just a few ideas discussed Dec. 11 at the Marysville School District Community Meeting at Cedarcrest Middle School.

About 50 people attended the meeting to talk about what do to with the Marysville-Pilchuck High School cafeteria following the shooting Oct. 24 that killed five students.

Organizers asked that attendees be given anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic.

One man said his son wants nothing to do with the cafeteria. He was upset

TULALIP – If you live in Marysville, Arlington or Tulalip, you are a Resiliency Award Winner, according to the Snohomish Chapter of the American Red Cross.

The chapter made that announcement Dec. 11 in front of more than 1,000 people at its 19th annual Real Heroes Breakfast at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

The honor was awarded for the community responses following the MarysvillePilchuck High School shooting Oct. 24 that killed five students and the March 22 Oso mudslide that killed 43. Oso and Darrington also were honored.

“Snohomish County has had to overcome a great deal this year,” emcee Pat Cashman said.

A video was shown on the slide because there were so many heroes they couldn’t be named individually. Ordinary people from the community pitched in

to help under extraordinary circumstances.

“People from all walks of life assisted on the front lines and worked behind the scenes of these disasters, and many did so at great personal risk and sacrifice,” said Kristi Myers, chief development officer for the chapter.

One Oso hero, Kris Langton of Arlington, did receive one of 17 individual awards. While looking for his own family after the slide, he heard yells for help. Tim Ward said he was “deposited” 600 yards from his house. Ward whistled four times then heard a voice. Langton said he could hear Ward, but it would take an hour to get to him because of all of the debris.

Later, Ward heard footsteps. Everything on Ward’s body was broken from the pelvis down. Langton heard a helicopter, waved it down, and within an hour five search and rescue workers saved Ward.

In an effort to end that divisiveness and build a relationship, the Marysville School Board made a historic decision Dec. 8. It approved, to a standing ovation, the use of the Native American curriculum called “Since Time Immemorial” for use in Marysville schools.

Prior to the vote, a number of local Native Americans spoke about the importance of adoption.

OK FROM Page 1 of healing with our people,” said Randy Vendiola, who works at Liberty Elementary. “This is a golden opportunity. Our elders are looking to us.”

Vendiola said this type of curriculum will help close the tension between the two communities.

“We won’t be the people across the freeway anymore,” he said.

Hurtado added: “I wished we had this fifty years ago.”

Eliza Davis, who works at Tulalip Quil Ceda Elementary, said she took Washington State History at Marysville-Pilchuck High School years ago. All she remembers about the class was watching the movie, “Appaloosa.”

“There’s a real lack of knowledge about the Tulalip people and what Tulalip does for this community as a whole,” she said.

Accurate information about Native Americans is missed in education, so

“Considering the history of this community, and recent events, too, this has been sorely missed in education from the Marysville School District.”

Randy Vendiola, Liberty Elementary Hurtado said a lot of time and effort was put into the curriculum to get it right.

Both indians and non-indians were involved.

“It’s not just an indian thing going on,” Hurtado said.

He explained that 30 percent of schools statewide already are using the curriculum. It is free and online so costs are minimal. Different lessons are available at each grade level for not only state history but also U.S. History and Contemporary Issues. Lessons have varied difficulty, with Level 1 just having a discussion about a certain issue. Lessons are aligned with Common Core, and many teachers already have been trained.

The goal is to educate others about Native Americans,

and also reduce the achievement gap for students.

“Considering the history on this community, and recent events, too, this has been sorely missed in education from the Marysville School District,” Vendiola said.

The school board actually has been talking about using the curriculum for a few years.

But it has been waiting for the Tulalip Tribes to come up with some more local information to teach.

But both entities decided the time is now to get the teaching started.

“A consistent theme tonight is this is a key piece to bring the relationship to what is should be,” school board President Tom Albright said.

but it also helps to “yell louder than anybody else, and know how to whistle as well.”

Many agreed it is time for a new school. M-P was built in 1970, so it is 44 years old.

It is in disrepair.

Superintendent Becky Berg said the district is trying to get a state grant that would rebuild the cafeteria.

While she agreed a new school would be good that would take more time.

“Where do we want the kids to eat?” she asked. “It can’t keep being the gym.”

Teen gives council Christmas ornaments

William and Ella Irwin seems a little apprehensive about meeting Santa during Arlington’s Hometown Holidays.

Santa Claus eyes Hometown Holidays ARLINGTON — “Yes, it’s raining during our Hometown Holidays,” Lifeway Foursquare Church Pastor Chad Blood told the hundreds who gathered in Legion Park for the ceremonial lighting of Arlington’s Christmas tree Dec. 6. “Get used to it. It’s the Pacific Northwest.”

City Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez said that the noon Santa Parade just prior to the tree-lighting was slightly shorter, likely due to the forecasts of rain that day.

“A few folks might have bagged, but a lot of people

still showed up,” Lopez said.

“It’s a great kickoff to the holiday season. My mom and dad were in the parade for the first time this year, and my mom said it was the best part of her week.”

Blood not only helped Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Santa count down to the tree-lighting, but he also presided over this year’s festive sweater contest.

In a crowd vote that was measured by applause, his daughter, Milani, tied with Blaine Whitcomb for the title of prettiest sweater.

Kylee Waxman’s sweater was deemed ugliest. Reni Cochran, the only adult in the contest, was awarded

the title of “still pretty ugly” for her Seahawks sweater.

As Mark Winterhalter’s draft horses gave attendees the same covered wagon ride that Santa had received in the parade, Santa himself settled down in the Legion Park gazebo to ask a line of kids stretching round the block what they wanted for Christmas.

“Ella wants an art box, and William ... well, we’re still deciphering his language,” said Amy Jo Irwin, their mother. “I’m just looking forward to time with my family.”

While 6-year-old Colt Pater’s wish list was mostly high tech, with items such

as an iPad and a Nintendo DS, he also asked for a Nerf gun. Likewise siblings Case and Lilly Williams’ tastes bridged traditional and modern tastes, since she wants an easy-bake oven, and he’s hoping for Minecraft.

“This community is still going strong as we head into the end of the year,” Lopez said. “After we lit the tree, we had to relight it, because the rain shorted out a few of the bulbs.”

ing sand bags for possible flooding on the waterfront as a high tide also is coming.

He also said power outages are possible.

• Parks director Jim Ballew said he hopes the storm is done by Thursday because that’s when the Tour of Lights at Cedarcrest Golf Course begins. He also said flooding problems should be fixed at Ken Baxter Community Center the first week of January.

• Mayor Jon Nehring said an effort is being made for cities along the train route to receive mitigation fees. He also talked of the cities’ legislative agenda asking the state not to take money away from them to balance the budget. He also said Community Transit is buying a doubledecker bus and the schedule is being moved up because it now takes 100 minutes to get from here to Seattle in the morning. “It is not a pretty picture out there,” he said.

Choir, orchestra present Christmas concert ARLINGTON – The Arlington-area Community Choir and Orchestra Christmas Program featuring the “Hallelujah” chorus will take place at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at the Byrnes Performing Arts Center at Arlington High School.

Tickets are $5 at the door.

Besides the choir, the event features the Overman Family Singers, 4 This Time girls chorus, and other community ensembles singing popular holiday music.

A carol-singalong also is planned.

MARYSVILLE – For the past four years, Peter Condyles has been one of Santa’s helpers.

He has spread Christmas cheer to the Marysville City Council and city staff leaders by giving them tree ornaments. Peter, 16, has been coming to City Council meetings with his parents for years.

It all started when Peter was in the fourth grade. He loved to write and contacted then-Mayor Dennis Kendall for an interview. After an hourlong session, Kendall invited Peter to a council meeting. He’s been going ever since. Peter gave out 15 ornaments at the council meeting Dec. 8.

IN OUR VIEW

M’ville, Tulalips working together With racism, this country seems to take two steps forward and one step back. It has been that way for 50 years. It started with passage of the Civil Rights Act, followed by violent protests of the late ‘60s. And it’s continued all the way to the election of President Obama, followed by the violent protests related to Ferguson, Mo. But we in Marysville and Tulalip vow to buck that trend.

The two communities took a historic step in coming together as one at the Marysville School Board meeting. The board approved the use of the “Since Time Immemorial” curriculum. About a dozen Native Americans from the Tulalip and other tribes were there to support its passage.

The curriculum was developed a few years ago by the state schools office. One goal is to break down barriers by increasing knowledge of Native Americans.

With knowledge there is less ignorance. With less ignorance there is less hatred. With less hatred there is less discrimination. With less discrimination there is a better life for everyone.

The Marysville district has been thinking of using the curriculum for years, but has been waiting for input from the Tulalip Tribes. After the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School both agree the time to educate is now.

The curriculum is a win-win. It is free. It is available online. There are lessons for all grades. Lessons are tiered so they are as easy as a simple discussion or as in-depth as a classroom-based assessment. They can be used in state history, U.S. History or Contemporary Issues classes.

The testimony at the board meeting was emotional. Tribal members talked about how the elders are watching to see if this sharing of information works to break down barriers and lead to more trust. Others talked about being adversaries for too long, healing and this being a golden opportunity.

Denny Hurtado of OSPI said he wished this curriculum was available 50 years ago.

We agree. It is up to all of us to make this work.

Creating citizens key for schools One of my favorite things about being a teacher is the experience of community that comes from being united with others in common purpose. In my work at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, it’s all for one and one for all.

And that’s the way I like it – MP Strong. But defining exactly what that common purpose is can be a little tricky. On the one hand, there are as many varied purposes as there are students, each with his or her particular gifts and talents.

It’s our job to help them discover these and to find their own unique paths.

On the other hand, however, we all have a vested interest in helping our youth develop the skills and habits needed to be effective members of the larger community.

We are all part of something bigger than ourselves, and the democratic art of living and working together in community is probably the single-most important lesson our children will ever learn. This is the art of citizenship, and it is our common purpose.

One of my educational heroes is Earl Kelley, an educator and author who wrote from the 1940s through the 1960s. Here’s what he says about teaching citizenship: “The training of citizens is a primary and original charge upon the schools; and if we are not getting citizens equipped to live in a democracy, we are not getting our money’s worth. What kind of citizen does a democracy demand?

It is not enough for the schools to develop just any kind of citizen.

A special brand of citizenship is

needed in a nation which is really of, by and for the people. We need citizens who are excited about government, not apathetic or indifferent. We need citizens who will hold a bold, critical, inquiring eye upon their government, not obey its edicts with blind docility. We need critical thinkers and energetic Strickland doers and earnest devotees of democracy. These are the chief ends for which school taxes are paid in America.”

Democracy is a way of life, an attitude about how we relate to other people, a set of values that begins in the home and extends to all the organizations and institutions in our society. Democracy emphasizes the freedom and supreme importance of the individual, but always in the context of community. Democracy’s ideals are never fully realized, but they constantly serve as moral beacons to inspire and guide our work together.

How can our schools best live up to this central mission of teaching citizenship for democracy? Here are a few ideas to think about: 1) Despite the many different job titles in our schools, we are all really doing the same work — education. Every person in our schools is an educator first.

That includes administrators and teachers, as well as secretaries,

custodians, food service workers, coaches, maintenance workers, grounds keepers, etc. We must find ways for all of these talented people to connect with students as educators. Schools are communities, and as such are rich places for learning what it takes to make a healthy community function.

2) Student government must become a vital part of how we do day-to-day business in our schools and classrooms. Citizenship is like most things in life — we learn it by living it. Being part of a community means taking responsibility for the well-being of all, participating in the decisions that affect us, solving problems together and being a voice for the voiceless. Making student government a central and daily part of every student’s experience is a way to do this.

3) Continue building strong and meaningful connections between our schools and the surrounding community. There is never a shortage of work that needs to be done in our community. The learning that takes place when students engage in real work for real reasons cannot be matched and lasts a lifetime.

The vision of Marysville School District is “Working together to ensure each student becomes a successful and productive citizen in a diverse society.” This is a vision worth working for, and it will take putting citizenship front and center to make it happen.

Jim Strickland is a teacher at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

Longtime Globe leader Strawberry grand marshal

Strawberry Festival Grand Marshal Bob Buttke and Vice President Paul Brown toast Buttke’s title for the coming year. room, and it was for men, so women would call for their husbands from the pay phone across the street, and say, ‘I can see you through the windows.’”

Not only did Bob serve alongside Rudy Wright, the only Marysville firefighter who’s ever died in the line of duty, but he was there the day that Rudy died.

On Nov. 3, 1970, Rudy and Bob were on the scene of an accident between a

car and truck, at what was then Marshall Road and Interstate 5. Barricades were placed to redirect traffic, while firefighters and volunteers hosed away spilled diesel fuel. A car driven by an Everett man crashed through the barricades and struck Rudy, killing him instantly. “He almost killed me,” Bob said. “I was stand-

ing right beside Rudy, and I didn’t see or hear him until he hit Rudy.”

Bob estimated that there were 30 firefighters covering Marysville at the time, all of them volunteers, who were summoned from their homes by the bell on their landline telephones.

Bob was five months old for the first Strawberry

Festival, and he’s been in town for every one since.

“I’ve still got my old typewriter,” Bob said. “Every new store that opens in town wants to hire me as a greeter.” He concluded, “After all the people I’ve seen serve as grand marshal over the years, I’ve been waiting for this. I think I deserve every bit of it,” he chuckled.

of type metal,” Bob said.

Bob recalled meals at Ron’s Hamburgers and getting his car fixed at “Smitty” Smith’s garage, as well as how the boat ramp used to be the site of the town’s dump.

“I think I could name just about every one of the businesses that were on State Street, before it was State Avenue,” Bob said. “There was the tavern where women weren’t allowed, because there was only one rest-

MARYSVILLE — In his 82 years, Bob Buttke served as a volunteer fireman, did nearly every job at The Marysville Globe before his retirement. And at the age of 5, he even served as the queen’s attendant, standing by her throne on the float for the 1937 Marysville Strawberry Festival Parade.

“My sister was in eighth grade and was set to be in the parade, but she couldn’t go, so I took her place,” said Bob, the last of eight children born to Olive and Art Buttke. “All those years I was in the fire department, I had to go when we got called.

Because I was working for the paper, I couldn’t even ride in the truck, because I had to take the pictures.”

Bob was full of stories about all of those experiences when he was recently informed that he could add one more title to the list — grand marshal for the 2015 Strawberry Festival.

Paul Brown, vice president of the festival and publisher of The Marysville Globe, told Bob he’d been chosen because of his literal lifetime of contributions to the community.

With his wife of 62 years, Bev, and their adult children by his side, Bob laughed into a series of tales, both silly and serious, which hearkened back to the history of his hometown. “When I started at the Globe, the old editor would throw his cigars on the floor, so that the butts and ashes and dross would be mixed in to make the pigs

State taking time with Arlington audit; airport operations likely a cause of concern, sources say

By Kari Bray, Herald Writer kbray@heraldnet.com

ARLINGTON — The city is waiting on results of a state audit that has been delayed several times while officials look into multiple concerns about city operations.

An audit of Arlington’s finances was released in September and found no problems with the city’s financial statements. But the city’s accountability audit is pending.

Accountability audits examine

the rules and laws a city is subject to, and whether city staff and leadership have adhered to those regulations. “Accountability is things that we can do better,” assistant city administrator Kristin Banfield said. “And I’m one to say there are always things we can do better.”

City officials have some hints about what auditors have been exploring. Having a municipal airport, for example, adds a layer of complexity to city management and auditing, Banfield said.

If the audit finds any problems at the airport, staff and airport commissioners will work to remedy them, said David Ryan, who became airport director in August.

In the meantime, they’re working to plug some holes in leases and to update the airport’s leasing policy. In November, they updated a lease for the Arlington Fly-In storage space, an agreement that had expired eight years ago.

One local business owner suspects the problems are related

to airport management. Kevin Duncan of Arlington Flight Services Inc. said he submitted complaints about the airport to the state auditor’s office this fall.

He’s worried, specifically, about the handling of airport properties with ties to Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert and Bruce Angell, planning commission chairman and Tolbert’s personal partner.

Tolbert and Angell are volunteers with the Arlington Fly-In. Tolbert is executive director of the

nonprofit Fly-In. In November, the airport commission moved to establish a new lease for the Fly-In storage site. The lease had expired in 2006, though Fly-In volunteers continued to use the space for storage. The new lease, for $947.62 a year for the 9,025-square-foot site, is essentially an update of the expired lease, Ryan said.

“They paid every year but didn’t write a new lease,” Ryan said. “I can’t answer why it happened, but I do know they paid.”

“Come Worship with us... Our doors are always open.”

City attorney Weed enhales puns at last meeting

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville City Council and city staff tried their best to roast longtime city attorney Grant Weed at his last council meeting Dec. 8.

The whole joint was laughing, often out of embarrassment. As Community Development Director Gloria Hirashima said, “It will be no pun without him.”

Weed is known for his wit, humor and puns during his 24 years as city attorney.

The roast didn’t compare to those on Comedy Central or the legendary Dean Martin shows. It was more like The Gong Show, or The Bong Show as they poked fun of his last name. But there were a few clever lines.

City Council Member Kamille Norton came up with one of the best ones.

“As city attorney, you have not lost your appeal,” she said, adding she has appreciated his vast knowledge in taking care of the city.

“You’re like a father keeping your kids out of trouble.”

Of Weed, Police Chief Rick Smith said, “You’ve been a real bud.” Smith used baseball analogies, since they both love that sport,

Smith said when he came to the city eight years ago one of the attractions was how well everyone worked together, saying his previous job at time was “tumultuous.” He said Weed provides sound legal advice and kept the citizens safe.

C ou nc i l Member Jeff Vaughan said the chief “took a swing at it,” but Vaughan always wondered whose Weed side Weed was on. He came to know that Weed was on the side of being fair, honest and unbiased, which is where the city attorney should be.

Council Member Michael Stevens said he wants Weed to come back to help the city with marijuana laws, and finance director Susan Langdon said she always “looked to Grant to get grants.”

Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen mostly praised Weed, but he did tell a joke. “Do you know how attorneys sleep?” he asked.

“First they lie on one side, then they lie on the other.”

Nielsen focused on how Weed’s work has changed the city now and for years to come. He talked about the outfall with Kimberly Clark and the city of Everett. It can handle 20 million gallons a day, and the city now is just at five million. He discussed surface water and Public Utility District water.

And he praised Weed’s work

“As city attorney, you have not lost your appeal.”

Kamille Norton, Council member with private property owners during the 156th Street overcrossing project.

Hirashima had some interesting statistics on Weed’s work. He has signed 1,100 laws, 900 resolutions and thousands of contracts.

His actions have caused the city to grow from less than 10,000 to 63,000 in population.

City Council Member Stephen Muller, who skis with Weed, said he has appreciated the city attorney’s ability to add levity to dry subjects. He also appreciated how unbiased Weed has been.

“I never felt pushed one way or another,” Muller said.

When it was Weed’s turn, he said he didn’t know if the event would be a roast or not, but he was prepared anyway. He put on a helmet and goggles and used skirelated puns to get back at his punsters.

Of Nielsen he joked of “binding agreements,” of

“Do you know how attorneys sleep? First they lie on one side, then they lie on ther other.”

Kevin Nielsen, Public works director parks director Jim Ballew he talked of going “all down hill,” and of Langdon he joked of “slush funds.”

But he also talked about going to a council meeting in January of 1990 because Marysville was suddenly without a city attorney.

He was just 36 but had the guts to sit in the empty city attorney chair. He said he’s stayed with the city since then because of the challenge of working on a variety of issues.

“I’m curious, and I love to learn,” he said. “It’s kept me energized.”

He added he has loved the people he works with.

“We’ve grown up together as a city,” he said.

Weed said his guiding principle has been to help the city accomplish its goals within the law and not political whims. Weed joked that he wants to take his

9

replacement through all of the city laws, starting with the first one in 1891 having to do with prostitution. “It was their first action of business. There must have been a problem,” he said.

Mayor Jon Nehring has worked with Weed for 14 years, first as a council member.

“I know for me I always slept well at night with Grant in charge of this area with our city. He is always on top of key issues and … leaves a real legacy with the work he has done,” the mayor said.

“He is the consummate professional.”

Nehring said it was Weed who told the city this year it really needs its own inhouse legal staff because it has grown so much. The city had put it off for years because of the quality of work Weed has done.

Nehring concluded by saying Weed did a tremendous job working with multiple state and federal agencies on the Qwuloolt Estuary Project.

“Grant never floundered throughout this entire process and in fact negotiated in cut throat fashion on behalf of the city,” the mayor punned.

ARLINGTON — A Bothell man died Dec. 6 after being hit by a pickup in I-5 southbound lanes near Smokey Point.

Gerald Olmstead was riding in a Dodge Ram driven by his 29-year-old son, Patrick D. Groves of Marysville, who pulled the truck onto the highway’s shoulder.

The 51-year-old Olmstead got out to secure the load because it was losing debris, a Washington State Patrol news release says.

At 10:38 a.m., traffic dramatically slowed down, prompting 23-year-old Anthony J. Richardson of Arlington to swerve into the shoulder to avoid cars in front of him, the patrol says.

But his Toyota Tundra hit Olmstead. He died at the scene.

Buildings gone

MARYSVILLE – Demolition is going on at 4th Street on both sides of the freeway.

On the Tulalip side, the Best Western Tulalip Inn has been torn down. The lease came up, and the tribes decided not to fix it up and demolished it.

There is no tenant yet for the lot at 3228 Marine Drive near the Arby’s.

On the Marysville side, Mayor Jon Nehring said a Coastal Community Bank is going in at 301 State St. That is the location for an old buffet restaurant.

Nehring said he’s happy about Coastal coming to town and building anew.

“That building has been vacant a lot of the time,” he said, adding he also likes that Coastal is a real community bank.

“They are the ones who forgave the Oso loans.”

Food donated

MARYSVILLE – The Windermere Real Estate Office in Marysville collected 14,828 pounds of food, the most of any participant in the 2014 Snohomish County Realtor Food Drive.

Out of the 55 offices in the county, Windermere led the way bringing in over 86 percent of the 55,744 pounds of food donated.

The Marysville portion was 26 percent of the total amount given.

Local spokeswoman Shannon Woodward thanked all those who donated either money or food.

The proposed road-widening will occur along a 7,400 foot long section of State Ave from the intersection of State Ave and 116th St NE to State Ave and 136th St NE. The proposed project will widen State Ave from 35 feet wide to 58 feet wide within the project corridor with additional 6 feet of curb and sidewalk area on the east side of the roadway. The project also includes the installation of a stormwater collection and conveyance system for transport to an existing regional stormwater facility. The project will require approximately 3.2 acres of clearing and grubbing. A total of approximately 12,000 cubic yards of material will be excavated and approximately 18,000 cubic yards of fill will be used. There are no known critical areas on or adjacent to the project site. Noise associated with construction equipment and vehicles will be temporary and localized, with varying noise levels throughout the 12-month construction period. Construction noise is exempt from the City of Marysville Noise Ordinance during the day. If nighttime construction were required, noise abatement measures will be required pursuant to MMC, Chapter 6.76. No designated landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance are located on or next to the site. This was confirmed by a formal cultural resources survey conducted by Joan Robinson of Robinson Cultural Resource Services in February of 2003 within the project bounds. If historic or cultural resources are inadvertently discovered during con-

struction for any component of the proposed project, grounddisturbing activity will be halted and the DAHP, the Tulalip and Stillaguamish Tribes, and a professional archeologist will be notified.

The property is generally located between State 116th St NE to 136th St NE within public rightof-way.

Salary increases concern council as Arlington looks at its 2015 city budget what the difference in full-time employees was between those two years.

In an email to The Arlington Times, Ellis said

in 2014 Arlington had 128.9 employees citywide. In 2015 it will have 126.21, a reduction of 2.69 employees.

Salaries totaled a little more

than $11.1 million, compared with the proposed $10.951 million, a reduction of $169,048.

Raezer and Council

Member Jan Schuette said the salary increases are “not outside the ballpark.” for a city with Arlington’s size and services.

Oertle had supported bringing a tax increase to the voters, to help support essential services such as streets maintenance, but she’s since found it difficult to answer citizens’ questions about salaries. “I don’t know how to justify some of these high-level wages,” Oertle said. “For voters who agreed to that increase, it’s a hard pill to swallow.”

Despite repeated attempts

by The Arlington Times to get the information, Ellis said he did not have itemized raises for each city official.

ARLINGTON — Salary increases are always a hot button for city government.

But it is even more so when the city won’t itemize what those increases are for the public.

Council Member Debora Nelson brought up the issue at the Arlington City Council’s Dec. 8 workshop discussion of the 2015 city budget. “Are you comfortable saying that the city’s needs are being met by this budget, with these salary increases included?” Nelson asked Community and Economic Development Director Paul Ellis.

Council Member Marily Oertle echoed Nelson’s concerns about the “significant pay increases to some positions.” “We have excellent employees, but some of these salary increases are out of line with real-

M-P senior Chelsie McAdoo wins the tip in a home game against Meadowdale this week.

MG girls 4-0, but M-P falls to 0-4

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell girls basketball team improved to 4-0, trouncing Granite Falls 63-14 Dec. 6 and Meadowdale 52-46 in overtime Dec. 10.

“We worked together for three years, and the pieces are coming into place,” MG coach Shannon Grandbois said. “We brought the skill level of what we had before to the varsity level.”

Sophomore Gabby Grandbois led the team with 22 points, including three 3-point goals against Granite Falls.

“Gabby gets open because her teammates know where she’s going to be,” Grandbois

said. “It’s such a team cohesive effort.”

Junior Jada Romulus was the game leader in the game against Meadowdale with 21 points.

For next week’s games, MG will host Shorecrest, Monday, Dec 15, and will play away against Stanwood Friday, Dec. 19, and Bellingham Saturday, Dec. 20.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck girls basketball team dropped to 0-4, losing to Meadowdale 48-36 Dec. 5, Sehome 60-48 Dec. 8, and Monroe 75-22 Dec. 10.

Next week, M-P hosts Shorewood Monday, Dec. 15, and Squalicum Friday, Dec. 19.

ARLINGTON — The Lady Eagles of Arlington are 4-0, topping Snohomish 65-42 Dec. 5 and Lake Stevens 57-42 Dec. 10.

Junior Gracie Castaneda led the team with 13 points in Arlington’s latest game.

Next week, Arlington goes to Glacier Peak Monday, Dec. 15, and Juanita Friday, Dec. 19.

TULALIP — The Grace Academy girls basketball team topped Tulalip Heritage 49-4 Dec. 9, with Grace’s senior Naomi Tuttle leading with 14 points.

Next week, Tulalip hosts Orcas Christian, Tuesday, Dec. 16, and visits Lopez Wednesday, Dec. 17.

TULALIP — Tulalip Heritage senior Jesse Louie was emotionally driven to play his senior year.

He almost didn’t come out to play his final season, but he remembered his uncle Mikey John, who past away a couple of years ago.

Louie had his name written on his wrist when he led Heritage to a seasonopening win over Grace Academy 52-48 Dec. 9, scoring 18 points while sinking five 3-pointers.

John was a huge influence on Louie, encouraging him to play basketball when he was in middle school.

“I just know there is someone watching over me,” Louie said. “I didn’t really have a dad growing up so he was like a father to me.”

They could have improved on defense in the first half, coach Marlin Fryberg said, but Louie was on fire.

“He shot the ball well, and we need more out of him,” Fryberg said.

Teammate Trevor Fryberg added 14 points, but Louie said they could tweak their overall game as the season progresses.

“We can shoot the ball,” Louie said. “We just got to knock down more of our shots.

“We just need to get the easy ones,” he said. “We know we should win these games. We have the talent.”

Next week, Tulalip hosts Orcas Christian Tuesday, Dec. 16, and is away against Lopez Wednesday, Dec. 17, and Providence Classical Christian, Thursday, Dec. 18.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell boys basketball team lost one and won one this week to improve 2-2 of the year. MG lost to Granite Falls 56-51 Dec. 6 but rebounded with a win over previously undefeated Mariner 59-53 Dec. 9.

Mariner.

“We knew that they were a very athletic team that liked to bring pressure defensively,” MG coach Corby Schuh said. “We practiced a lot on attacking

the pressure and moving the basketball against their zone defense.”

MG travels to Lynnwood Tuesday, Dec. 16, and hosts Bellingham Saturday, Dec. 16.

‘Frozen’ star shines as bright as festival trees

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The front lobby of Cascade Valley Hospital was packed with visitors throughout the weekend, thanks to holidaythemed events designed for the spirit of giving.

The hospital’s afternoon session of Santa photos coincided with the kickoff of the Santa Run Dec. 5.

Jennifer Egger, commu-

nity relations coordinator for the hospital, reported that more than 1,000 people attended the Santa photo session, donating more than $120 and 50 pounds of food to the Santa Run in the process.

“Attendance for our fifth year of Santa photos was up significantly,” Egger said.

“We love to see all the families. Princess Anna was a big hit, since kids loved seeing one of the stars of ‘Frozen’

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photos

Princess Anna from “Frozen” is delighted to meet Natalie Boyd, 7, during Cascade Valley Hospital’s Dec. 5 Santa photos. And, of course, Natalie looks just as excited, if not more so, to meet the Disney star. in person, but Santa is always the star of the show.”

The Festival of Trees marked its second annual open house, gala and auction to the hospital Dec. 6.

The event raised more than $14,000 for the

Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation.

Of the nearly 20 trees and nearly 60 wreaths that were up for bid, Egger explained that more than a few will be displayed in places of honor.

The Seahawks tree is

heading to the Arlington City Hall, while Lakewood Elementary is set to receive the Grinch tree by Stephanie Jensen and Cassie Kinghorn.

Just as the Minnie Mouse tree by Egger herself is

expected to brighten up the Arlington School District offices, so too will the reindeer tree by George Boulton be displayed in the Cascade Valley Pediatric Clinic, for children to view while waiting for their appointments.

Santa points the way to a merry holiday in Marysville “It felt extra special with all the community has been through.”

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – The 26th Annual Merrysville for the Holidays almost felt like a Hallmark Christmas movie when Mayor Jon Nehring turned the switch to light the water tower.

What if it didn’t go on?

“I get excited when it lights up,” Nehring said. “It’d be anti-climactic if it didn’t.”

City Council Member Kamille Norton recalled the movie “Christmas Vacation” when Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) turns on the lights to his home.

“Maybe we could add the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus,” when the lights come on, like in the movie, she joked.

Parks director Jim Ballew estimated that 3,000 people attended Merrysville for the Holidays Dec. 6.

The Electric Lights Parade also was bigger than usual with 48 entries. Most of the parade goers stayed in a two-block area around Comeford Park, but the other four blocks were less populated.

Highlights of the parade

ing bands, the Strawberry Festival float, Pirates of Treasure Island, Granite

Falls School of Dance, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.

While the parade was the

most-attended event, many event goers enjoyed activities in the park. The band,

Layered System, was popular and has already signed to come back next year.

Others enjoyed free coffee and chowder and a bonfire.

Participants also enjoyed taking photographs in front of displayed themes like Santa riding a polar bear, a large toy soldier and duck, hay ride, and a miniature Marysville water tower.

Food and other vendors also took part in the event.

Dell Deierling, director of the Marysville Community Food bank, was the grand marshal of the parade.

Mayor Jon Nehring called the event one of the highlights for him every year.

“It had a festive, hometown feel to it,” Nehring said. “It felt extra special with all the community has been through.”

MARYSVILLE — Sue Bird and two Seattle Storm coaches visited the Marysville-Pilchuck High School girls basketball practice Dec. 9.

Bird said while they may have learned some basketball from her, she learned resiliency from them.

“I know in my life I’ve never had to deal with anything that they’ve had to deal with,” Bird said, referring to the Oct. 24 school shooting.

“To see them out here still playing and competing and enjoying playing basketball, that shows a lot of resiliency and that’s something that I’m definitely going to learn from this group.”

Board wonders how shooting will affect academics “They are now prepared for something we never even thought of.”

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – It started out as a discussion about goals, school improvement plans and raising student test scores.

But it turned into a debate about how the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck is going to figure in to those results.

Kyle Kinoshita and Cinco Delgado, both executive directors of learning and teaching, talked to the school board.

Kinoshita said some students lack spark and are going through the motions.

“How do we get them engaged?” he asked at the Dec. 8 work session.

Assistant Superintendent Ray Houser said: “That’s a great question, one we struggle with every day.”

Delgado said they still expect gains, just not as much as before.

“It’s not a regular environment,” School Board Member Pete Lundberg said.

Superintendent Becky Berg said there needs to be a focus on mental health: for

Mary Schoenfeldt, left, was introduced as the new recovery director by Marysville School District Superintendant Becky Berg, right, at the school board’s work session Dec. 8. each student, each teacher, each building.

Kinoshita said the district is getting books about what happened after Columbine to help answer some of the many questions following the disaster.

School Board President Tom Albright said M-P students may have been knocked off track academically, but they are learning valuable life lessons.

“They are now prepared

for something we never even thought of,” Board Member Bruce Larsen said.

Prior to that, Kinoshita talked of a rubric that is available to help schools grade themselves on reaching goals.

“Teachers should be excited about it,” Lundberg said. “It will help them know what to do.”

He added the data needs to be meaningful, set to standards. “Otherwise it’s

just data,” he said.

School Board Member Chris Nation said administrators have to be aggressive in setting goals.

“They can’t be nambie, pambie goals,” Berg agreed.

In other school board news: • Elections took place and the officers will stay the same. Albright said they decided continuity was important, especially after the Oct. 24 tragedy.

• Dolly Haakenson of Community Aid Coalition of Monroe presented a

handmade quilt to the district. She said an inmate at Twin Rivers Correction Center made it. She said his kids once attended Marysville-Pilchuck, and the violence there affected him so “he did the only thing he could.” The master quilter is a mentor to nine other inmates who use three sewing machines in what is basically a storage closet.

She said the quilt is similar to Navajo sand paintings that stand for “healing and comfort.”

•The district decided on a bid by Advanced Cable Technology of Marysville to put wireless in its schools.

The bid was $397,060, compared with $564,470 from Pacific Communications Cabling. The goal is for the project to be done by Feb. 28, but it could slide into March or April because of the age of some of the schools, officials said.

• Regarding graduation

rates, the district is at 74.5 percent on time and 77 percent for five years. Nation asked how do we reach the other 23 percent? “That’s the question that keeps us all up at night,” Berg said, adding the district is trying many types of intervention.

One has to do with contacting families when a student is absent three days, instead of waiting 20, so they don’t fall too far behind.

Houser said students can take six years and even longer, up until age 21, to graduate. Even a 22-yearold who was in school at 21 could still get a diploma.

Lundberg said he wants to help students not only to graduation but beyond. He would like to see counselors work more with students on their futures.

• Allen Creek Elementary School Principal Janelle McFalls gave the board an update on that school’s improvement plan. They are trying an intervention that looks something like the “Survivor” shows. Students with behavior and emotional issues work together and communicate to the point where they learn to self-regulate. It is helping to build positive relationships.

Military Day honors veterans

ARLINGTON — Marty Rausch served at Grissom Air Force Base in Indiana from 1958-62, but in spite of his insistence that he was “no hero,� his four years of enlisted duty left him with a lifetime of stories. “I was a k-9 handler, but he trained me,� Rausch said during the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum’s annual Military Day Dec. 7. “He’d been in the Army before I got him.

He liked me, and he still put me in the hospital twice.�

Perhaps surprisingly for someone stationed stateside, Rausch got off track twice while on duty, once when he was standing watch with his dog, and another time when his vehicle was supposedly leading the way for a caravan of bombs along the base’s runway. “I was just following my dog, since he seemed to know where he was going, and before I knew it, I’d wandered off my post,� said Rausch, who’d been surrounded by nearly impenetrable fog at the time. “I got

myself back onto the runway, and I started following the mile markers, but the numbers kept getting higher, so I realized I was going the wrong way.�

When his vehicle had been ahead of the bomb caravan, Rausch had been told by his non-commissioned officer to watch out in front of them, but he soon realized that the caravan that had been behind them had opted to take a shortcut to their final destination without telling anyone. “That was what I did to save the world,� Rausch joked. “When I was checking out, the klaxons on base started to blow, and I was told that I’d been involuntarily extended for another few months. I don’t know if that was related to the Bay of Pigs or what. “We never knew anything,� he added. “One time, I was told to guard something, and when I asked what it was, they said, ‘We can’t tell you,’ so I asked, ‘How will I know if it’s gone, then?’�

Meanwhile, even before Bob Haverty was deployed

While the old vets laughed together in the Pioneer Hall, they still took seriously the reason for their gathering, on the 73rd

Military Day drew not only veterans, but military enthusiasts, including David King of Jim Creek, and Stanwood’s Kelsey and Amanda Palaniuk.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. 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.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Changing traditions can help after death of loved ones kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Weller Funeral Home conducted its 14th annual Holiday Remembrance Gathering Dec. 6, drawing up to 60 attendees as they honored loved ones who have passed on, both veterans and civilians.

Office manager Carrie Stucky said this was the event’s largest turnout in years; one family was there because they’d lost loved ones in the Oso slide.

“We were glad that we were able to be there for all of those who attended,” Stucky said. “We try to make sure that people know we’re a support system for them, and that we’re here for them during difficult times. We understand that this time of year can be difficult, and we’re happy to be able to provide a place of comfort for those dealing with grief this holiday season.”

Steve Schertzinger, volunteer chaplain for the Marysville Police Department, joined Pastor Bryce McFadden of the Smokey Point Community Church in addressing attendees. “We’re fellow travelers, even if we don’t know each other,”

While McFadden encouraged them to ask God for help in healing their hearts, he also provided practical steps for them to help themselves, which he summed up in four words: choose, change, cherish and charge.

“With so many demands and expectations placed on us by others during the holiday season, we should choose Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo what we want to do, An Honor Guard presented a flag to the family of James Stephenson. and who we want to spend time with,” Schertzinger said. “While others life,” Schertzinger said. “Recall the McFadden said. “Don’t ask your are buying gifts for their loved scene from their lives that put family’s permission, but inform ones, we have one less gift to buy smiles on our lips.” them of your decisions.” this year.”

McFadden credited attendees McFadden likewise suggested Schertzinger acknowledged with putting in work to process changing up old family traditions, that, even 22 years after his moth- their grief, whether it’s fresh or less whether it’s opening presents at er’s death, the pain has lessened, recent. He noted that, for some, a different time, having dinner at but has not gone away. simply walking into the building a different place, or streamlining “What I would ask you to do, was an intimidating prospect, so your holiday shopping to simplify though, is not count your losses, he pledged that the afternoon’s your schedule. but celebrate what you gained by gathering would serve as a safe “You can start new traditions having your loved one in your space for their mourning. this year,” McFadden said. “And

“You can cook their favorite dishes or listen to their favorite music to remember them.”

Bryce McFadden, Pastor you can still cherish your lost loved ones. A lot of times, people think that if they don’t talk about their pain, they won’t feel it, but all that means is that you’re all alone as you feel your pain. You can cook their favorite dishes or listen to their favorite music to remember them.”

The “charge” in McFadden’s advice stood for “charge up your batteries.” He urged those who have lost loved ones to eat well, get plenty of rest and exercise, and avoid self-medicating, because “grief work is exhausting, so you need your health and your strength.”

The gathering included musical performances by Peach Ice on vocals and Jackie Fuller on piano, and an Honor Guard presentation of the U.S. flag to the family of James Stephenson.
