MARYSVILLE – Chromebooks are golden. That is what teachers and students at Heritage High School said Oct. 1 as they were the first in the Marysville School District to receive the technology. By Thanksgiving, thousands of students in sixth- through 12th-grades will have them. Heritage seniors Mikaylee Pablo and Samantha Marteney, who used the technology last year, predicted other students will love them. “You’re more organized,” Pablo said. “It saves work for you, so you don’t lose papers or a journal.” Marteney added: “It’s easier to gather information and turn in stuff by email.” Humanities teachers Thomas Miranda and Marina Benally predicted teachers will like the Chromebooks, too.

Cancer patients recover in different ways

MARYSVILLE – When people deal with cancer, they try many things to get healthy mentally and physically. For one Marysville woman, Janice Ross, she turned to making art with beads, despite losing half a lung three years ago to cancer. For Connie Workman, she decided to lose weight to be healthier physically.
See special section - Inside She went from 290 to 160 pounds. Ross recently received a Grand Champion ribbon for her framed tapestry made from beads at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup. There are approximately 400 beads per row and 576 rows equalling 230,400 beads. Ross bought the original tapestry in England in 1979
when she was in the Air Force. “I had to have it,” she said, adding she loves Clipper ships. She didn’t like the colors, they were dull and drab, so she packed it away. She then worked for Boeing for 20 years as a mechanic building airplanes. She stopped doing that job when her spine began to degenerate. “I was falling down all the time,” she said.
