Merrysville for the Holidays

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Comeford Park was drenched but festive through the afternoon and evening of Dec. 5, as the 27th annual Merrysville for the Holidays marked the start of the season.

City recreation coordinator Maryke Burgess appreciated the presence of the 10 food and crafts vendors on the park grounds outdoors, including new arrival Cathouse Pizza and returning favorite Pete’s Toffee, as well as the host of folks selling hats, scarves, handmade jewelry and home decor.

Citizens advisory committee members Brandi Andrews, Dick Withycombe and Tim Maharry enter the final round of talks with their peers Dec. 9 about what bond recommendation they can agree to give the Marysville School Board.

$33.5 million for Liberty Elementary, $32.5 million for Cascade Elementary, $62.5 million for Marysville Middle School, $64 million for Totem, $115.5 million for M-PHS and at least $11.5 million for special projects throughout the district.

The latter would include roof, fire alarm and intercom upgrades, as well as other structural and mechanical work.

Superintendent Becky Berg noted that these figures were reached after consulting with professional cost estimators who deemed the district’s initial numbers too low. Jim Baker, the district’s executive director of finance and operations, confirmed committee member

Allison Hoot’s calculation that, with 40 percent of the total construction costs covered by the state, the district would only need to ask taxpayers for $196.5 million to cover all the projects on the committee’s list.

As facilitator Dick Withycombe sought every committee member’s input to ensure their decision represented a complete consensus, committee member Tim Maharry maintained his reservations the longest out of anyone in the group, expressing concerns that such an ambitious bond proposal could run counter to the group’s goal of getting the district onto SEE BOND, PAGE 2

HOLIDAYS FROM PAGE 1 out in spite of the weather,” Burgess said. “We’ve had plenty of rain before and after the event in years past, but this is the first time in fifteen years that we’ve had rain during the event, so it was exciting to see our turnout stay so strong.”

Burgess joined parks and recreation director Jim Ballew in praising Seattlebased band Soulevard for its selection of Christmas tunes, while the Kiwanis served up hot cocoa with marshmallows, and the Living Room Coffee House deep-fried Oreo cookies, to help folks keep warm.

“We’ve got a loyal community here,” said Ballew, who again served as emcee for the Electric Lights Parade, and estimated this year’s event drew about 1,500 spectators, down from the usual average of

3,000. “Those who showed up stuck around, even after the water tower was lit up.”

Marysville schools superintendent Becky Berg joined Mayor Jon Nehring in counting down to the tower-lighting this year, and was one of 38 parade entrants, down only slightly from the typical roster of 40-plus entries in better weather.

Ballew and recreation coordinator Andrea Kingsford enjoyed the Seahawks “12th Fan” vehicles, as well as the Puget Sound Pediatric Dentistry train float, dubbed the “Molar Express,” which won the Mayor’s Choice Award.

“The Seahawks fans drove nine cars and motorcycles, all professionally detailed with the team’s official colors and decals,” Kingsford said. “They had one Porsche, with a Santa riding shotgun, that won the award for most creative entry.”

The Seahawks “12th Fan” combination of car clubs was new to this year’s parade, as were the Marysville United Methodist Church’s vehicle and trailer. Among the returnees, the Marysville Strawberry Festival’s float again graced State Avenue, the Granite Falls School of Dance showcased their fancy footwork with an assemblage of dancing snowmen, while the Competition Hair & Tanning Salon offered the comical spectacle of the Grinch giving the Mayor of Whoville a haircut.

The Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell high school marching bands braved the elements to beat their drums and blow their

horns, while the city’s utility vehicles won an award for the best use of lights.

“Our big rigs did an excellent job,” Kingsford said. “The street cleaning truck decorated its hose to look like a candy cane.”

Kingsford and Ballew agreed that the attendees’ mood remained as bright as the day itself was dark.

“Everyone was happy and dancing,” Kingsford said.

“They got wet but had a great time regardless,” Ballew said. “Even after the parade, as kids sat in Santa’s lap and families posed for photos, nobody was really complaining. They all just put on their smiles for the night.”

Recruiter salutes buddies who join Army together

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Brandon Peterson and Sebastian Denke used to play military out on their elementary school playground.

“We’d get in trouble for using fake guns,” Peterson said.

They won’t anymore. The best friends recently joined the military together under the Army Buddy Enlistment Option. With it, up to five friends can enlist and then train and go to their first base together for the first year.

Both 18-year-olds plan to go into the infantry.

As a recruiter in Marysville, Sgt. 1st Class Christian O’Keefe said the program is going to boost his numbers.

“One reason young people don’t want to join is they don’t want to leave their friends and family,” O’Keefe said, adding husbands and wives are even joining together in other areas.

O’Keefe said the Army used the program before but ended it about

10 years ago because the threeyear commitment offered at the time was too hard for the Army to honor. But since recruit numbers are down, the Army decided to offer it again, just for a shorter period of time.

Denke said he learned about the program watching an old movie.

He and Peterson came in to the recruitment center to see if the program was still around. It was only brought back a few months ago.

“I didn’t even know it was an option,” Peterson said. “I’m excited to go to basic (training) with my buddy.”

Both said they haven’t done much other than play video games since they graduated from high school, so their parents are behind their decisions 100 percent.

“We spent too much time behind the computer,” Peterson admitted.

He could tell he probably should have spent more time exercising as O’Keefe put the pair plus other recruits through some physi-

cal training behind the recruitment center. Peterson grimaced in pain during one exercise when he found it tough to continue.

Along with the PT, O’Keefe has recruits learn some of the basics online to “ease up the learning curve,” he said.

O’Keefe said after the holidays the recruits will leave in January for basic in Fort Benning, GA. “That’s when the work really starts,” he told the recruits. “That’s when you make an ugly face and mean it.”

After the 14-week infantry school, Peterson and Denke will “continue to train and hone their skills to do their job” at their first base, until the year is up.

Both recruits said the Army is a good place to start and get direction to their lives.

“It’s a good stepping stone in life,” Peterson said.

Depending on how it works out, the Army could end up being a career, although Peterson said long-term he’d like to be a firefighter. He’d thought about con-

O’Keefe said he is proud of the new recruits.

“I wish I had more guys out there like these two,” he said. “It speaks well of this young crowd to step up and take the challenge.”

He said support is key for all recruits. He likes to sit them

down with their folks, family and friends. That way it is not a kneejerk reaction to sign up.

But it’s really special when friends join together.

“Anybody can slap you on the back and send you on your way,” O’Keefe said. “It means something to not just stand behind you, but to stand beside you.”

Marysville Police make drug arrest, seize firearms, pills MARYSVILLE — Marysville Police arrested a 31-year-old Marysville resident on Wednesday, Dec. 2, following a recently initiated drug investigation.

Members of the Marysville Police Pro-Act Team N.I.T.E. had begun investigating recent complaints of possible drug

activity at an apartment located in the 17500 block of 25th Avenue in Marysville.

Officers were able to obtain the name of the suspect and were provided a description of the suspect’s vehicle, a white pickup truck, including the truck’s license plate number. Officers were able to determine the man

had both a felony and a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest. As officers were gathering information, the suspect’s truck drove past them through the parking lot.

A traffic stop was made on the vehicle and the driver was identified as the suspect with the arrest war-

rants. The driver was taken into custody by officers for the outstanding warrants.

During the initial investigation, officers were able to determine there was a gun located back in the apartment and that the suspect was not allowed to be in possession of any guns due to a current and valid pro-

tection order.

Following the arrest, officers obtained search warrants for the residence and vehicle of the suspect, as well as a storage unit used by the man. During the execution of the search warrants, officers seized 13 guns, approximately 650 Oxycodone pills and other,

smaller quantities of illegal prescription medications.

The man was eventually booked at the Snohomish County Jail on investigation of unlawful possession of firearms, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and violation of a protection order.

Marysville schools named to AP Honor Roll

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District is one of 425 school districts in the United States and Canada, and just 10 in Washington state, to be honored by the College Board with placement on the sixth annual AP District Honor Roll, for increasing access to AP course work while simultaneously maintaining or increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.

“We are proud to receive this recognition from the College Board,” Marysville School District Superintendent Becky Berg said. “That our district both expanded AP access and also helped our students achieve high levels of performance on AP Exams shows the outstanding work our teachers and students strive for every day.”

In 2015, more than 3,800 colleges and universities around the world received AP scores for college credit, advanced placement and/ or consideration in the admission process, with many colleges and universities in the United States offering credit in one or more subjects for qualifying AP scores.

Inclusion on the sixth annual AP District Honor Roll is based on the examination of three years of AP data, from 2013-15, looking across 34 AP Exams, including world language and culture. The following criteria were used.

Districts must: • Increase participation/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts.

• Increase or maintain the percentage of exams taken by black/African American, Hispanic/ Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students.

• Improve or maintain performance levels when comparing the 2015 percentage of students scoring a 3 or higher to the 2013 percentage, unless the district has already attained a performance level at which more than 70 percent of its AP students are scoring a 3 or higher.

Santa & Elsa pose for photos, collect for food bank

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Families started lining up at Cascade Valley Hospital at 3:30 p.m. for the 5 p.m. start of photos with Santa and characters from Disney’s Frozen Dec. 4.

By the time Santa arrived on an Arlington fire engine, as part of the first night of the “Santa Run” food drive for the Arlington Community Food Bank, Jennifer Egger figured the sixth annual evening of pictures with the kids had already doubled the previous year’s

Princess Elsa, from Disney’s Frozen, chats with Lolo Numanap, 6, at Cascade Valley Hospital Dec. 4.

attendance.

“It’s the busiest we’ve ever been,” said Egger, community relations coordinator for the hospital. “Of course, we had Princess Elsa, whom everyone loves, but Olaf was new this year, and he was a treat.”

Egger thanked all the families for their patience, given how many of them were waiting their turn to greet not only Elsa and Olaf, but also the jolly old elf himself.

“Nobody tried to rush anyone else, so each child got a special moment with Santa,” Egger said.

Egger has seen enough families return for photos, year after year, that “I feel like I’ve gotten to watch their kids grow up.”

Even better, she estimated that this year’s picture sessions yielded about $100 in monetary donations and close to 100 pounds in food, which also surpass the previous years’ totals.

“This is a free event, so it’s great to see that the community is still so giving,” Egger said.

Egger reported that generosity has continued throughout the Santa Run. When she accompanied the fire crews through downtown Arlington Dec. 7, she guessed they col-

lected at least another 100 pounds of food.

by rewriting the state’s clean air rules, a strategy which isn’t subject to legislative approval. But this effort may wind up helping clean the air above Quebec City or Los Angeles before it does Everett or Seattle.

At Inslee’s direction, the Department of Ecology is crafting the rule to establish limits on the amount of carbon pollution emissions for 31 companies and investorowned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants.

Over time, the cap for each emitter will be slowly reduced. Companies will be required to meet their first emission reduction deadline in 2020.

At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state.

Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing carbon pollution credits in cap-andtrade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec.

In other words, a com-

pany could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in the world.

“We have made no final decisions,” Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for Washington businesses doing their best to meet the standards, he said.

“Our air becomes cleaner any time we reduce air pollution anywhere in the world,” he said. “It doesn’t

Nothing like a few days away from the office to get one’s spirit rejuvenated and energy recharged.

For Gov. Jay Inslee, it came in a trip to Paris, where he attended the international confab on climate change.

He hung out with folks who share his view that climate change poses the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity on this planet, folks obsessed with slowing the damage through every political and regulatory means possible.

The experience refueled Inslee’s confidence that reducing emissions of pollution-causing carbon and other greenhouse gases is a concern among leaders of cities, states, provinces and nations worldwide.

“I don’t want to be too carried away by this moment,” he told reporters on a conference call Tuesday. “This has been an inspirational group that I’ve been talking

Police dog catches suspected Marysville espresso stand robber partially through the stand’s window. He pointed a black handgun at the barista, a 20-yearold woman, cocked the weapon and demanded her car keys, according to the arrest report filed in Everett District Court.

He eventually ran off with the money, dropping bills along the way.

The barista was crying and shaking when police arrived, and said she thought the man was going to shoot her as he rifled through the cash register.

A neighbor found the suspect’s mask in her front yard and flagged down a police officer. The gun was found nearby.

Others also had reported seeing a man running along Highway 204.

He was booked into jail for investigation of robbery and burglary.

The Everett Daily Herald

MARYSVILLE — A man accused of robbing a Marysville-area espresso stand was on the run for about 30 minutes Sunday before getting caught.

A police dog found the man in a culvert in some nearby woods, about a half-mile from the scene.

The 29-year-old Monroe man “claimed that his car just broke down and he was resting in the mud,” according to the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Facebook page.

“He was also missing his shirt.”

The robbery was reported about 11 a.m. at the coffee stand at Carleton Farm, along Sunnyside Boulevard SE, just north of the U.S. 2 trestle.

The suspect wore a mask and had climbed

After a year off, Arlington Nativity Festival returns

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — After a year off last year, the Arlington Nativity Festival is returning for its fourth year at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Smokey Point, from Thursday through Sunday, Dec. 10-13.

Cyndy Thompson, one of the coordinators of the event, noted that it’s consistently drawn about 500 nativity sets each year, so she expected this year would be about the same. That many nativities Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

take up a large amount of space, which is why the event had to be cancelled last year, when the church wasn’t available.

Thompson reported that people come from not only Arlington and Lakewood, but also Darrington, Stanwood and Camano Island to lend their nativities to the event.

She’s seen nativities that were acquired from “just about every nation on Earth,” in styles ranging from simple, bordering on abstract, to ornately detailed and elegantly crafted.

“We have nativities made from papier-mâché, woven in cloth, carved in cow bone, and cast in porcelain with gold trim,” Thompson said.

As always, a live nativity will serve as the centerpiece of the event, with an average of four shifts of people per day to inhabit the roles.

“We’re still filling in the others, but we’ve got Marys and Josephs enough for each night,” Thompson laughed.

In the children’s room, families can pose for photos while dressed as members of the nativity, complete with a manger set and costumes.

While kids are doing thematically appropriate crafts and activities in this room, including playing with toy nativity sets, adults can take in the spectacle of the “Rejoice in Christ” room, which offers so many portraits of Jesus that event organizers have already had to schedule some of them for next year instead.

“Before, we had the Life in Christ room, which showed Jesus’ journey from a child to an adult, but this isn’t as chronological,” Thompson said. “Instead, it reflects the love that Jesus shows to all, and that others have for him.”

Each day of the nativity festival will include music from various individuals and groups throughout the community, playing instruments ranging from pianos to organs and even harps, from opening time to 6:30 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 12-13, will present choir and orchestra concerts from 7-8:30 p.m. “Sing! Sing Hosanna” will kick off at 7 p.m. both nights, featuring 60 musicians honoring the birth of Christ.

“The main reason we stage this festival is to have an event that’s centered around Christ,” Thompson said. “As we get so wrapped up in our gift lists and our home decorations, it can be easy to lose sight of what Christmas is all about. This event lets people calm down, and is entirely nondenominational. Visitors of all faiths are welcome.”

The Arlington Nativity Festival runs from 3-8:30 p.m. Dec. 12-13. The church is at 17222 43rd Ave. NE in Arlington. Admission and parking are free. For details, visit www.arlingtonnativityfestival.org.

Marysville Getchell freshman Mikail Montez says she’s worked hard to play at the varsity level. So far, it has payed off.

MG’s Montez shines in first three games

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell girls basketball coach Shannon Grandbois has waited a long time for a player like Mikail Montez.

“I watched her since she was young because she went through the feeder program here in Marysville,” Grandbois said. “And she’s always been an outstanding, dominant player.”

In MG’s first three games, Montez played as post and has led in scoring. She scored 23 points in the

Chargers’ season-opening win over Cascade Dec. 2, then 10 points in a loss to Mariner Dec. 3, and 22 points in a win over Granite Falls Dec. 5. She did all this as a freshman.

“It’s been going pretty well,” Montez said. “I think a lot of my success was because of my teammates — they’re always looking for me.”

With that, she is the Marysville Globe-Arlington Times Athlete of the Week.

Only a freshman, Montez is 5-foot-11 and is quite strong and developed for her age. Additionally, she

MARYSVILLE — Gabrielle Grandbois scored a game-high 19 points and teammate Mikail Montez tacked on 12 to lead the Marysville Getchell girls basketball team to a 64-48 win over Meadowdale Dec. 9. MG improved its record to 3-1.

LAKE STEVENS — The

Arlington girls basketball team improved 3-0 defeating Lake Stevens 61-36 Dec. 9. Peyton Brown led the Eagles with 12 points and teammates Gracie Castaneda and Abby Anderson scored 11 apiece.

has good instincts having played the game so long.

“She’s so far beyond any freshman — especially any post I have had,” Grandbois said.

She has the skills crucial to her position, such as knowing how to read the ball as it comes off the rim, and she can best her opponents under the hoop with her post moves and strength.

“She’s the real deal,” Grandbois said.

Montez picked up basketball in the second grade.

In her career, she has played for Marysville Select

Basketball from fifth grade to eighth grade and played for Marysville Parks and Recreation before that. She also plays during the spring.

“I put in a lot of work into basketball, so it’s kind of nice to see my success pay off to be playing with the varsity girls,” Montez said.

Athletics runs through the family for Montez. She is the younger sister of MG’s star running back, Collin Montez, and her parents have also played basketball.

Her older brother’s accomplishments in football give her that extra drive also. “[Collin]’s success makes

Only being with MG since last spring, Montez has meshed seamlessly with the team.

“She’s molded with this team like she’s already been here,” Grandbois said. “It’s like they’ve played together for years.”

With her varsity career just starting, she will only improve, but she will also find ways to flourish outside her physical gifts, Grandbois said.

“She will get stronger, understand the game and

speed,” Grandbois said.

“With the added years [she] will find the tricks of the trade of being a varsity player.”

Montez also played varsity volleyball for MG. She enjoys that sport as well but is more passionate and focused for basketball.

Right now, she just wants to try and help her team to its first-ever playoffs.

“That’s kind of the big goal we had as a program,” Montez said. “We’re just starting out. It would be nice to at least make it to the playoffs.”

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership Boeing supporting 14,000 technical scholarships for Washington state students

B

oeing’s investment of $25 million – combined with an equal amount contributed by Microsoft and matched by the state of Washington – is enabling nearly 14,000 students to earn technology degrees within the decade.

So far, scholarships have been awarded to 5,500 low- and middle-income students in Washington state, with nearly 60 percent being the first members of their families to attend college, according to Stan Deal, Boeing senior vice president - Commercial Aviation Services and a member of the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship board of directors speaking at an event to raise funds for additional scholarships.

Addressing more than 300 community and political leaders in Seattle, Deal noted Boeing has “a vision of a future in which all students have access to educational opportunities so they can develop their skills, pursue their dreams and build a better world.

“We are investing billions of dollars to design and produce the next generation of airplanes right here in Washington,” Deal added. “Through the Washington State Opportunity Scholarship, we are also investing in the next generation of employees in our community so that they can learn the skills they need to capture opportunities that Boeing and other leading companies

$25 million investment helps provide science, technology, engineering and math scholarships are creating.”

Established five years ago, the scholarship provides financial assistance, creates research opportunities and matches recipients with mentors in business and technology. That includes Boeing Engineering leaders who mentor the students pursuing both undergraduate and advance degrees through the Opportunity Scholarship program.

The public-private scholarship “ensures that our kids, who grew up here, have the opportunity to get a

high-tech degree,” said former Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, adding that the program will enable the state’s leading companies to remain “among the best in the world.”

Mahdi Ramadan, who is using his scholarship to research applying computer technology to assist individuals with neurological disorders, told the crowd, “My dreams are scary big, but so are the dreams of thousands of individuals like me.”

Ramadan recounted how his family immigrated to the United States, when he was 11 years old, after being evacuated by U.S. Marines on a humanitarian mission during civil strife in Lebanon. The scholarship gives individuals “an opportunity to follow their dreams despite the financial limitations of their families,” the University of Washington student said.

Microsoft president Brad Smith noted Washington currently has more than 20,000 unfilled jobs in science, technology, engineering and health care.

“This program is all about empowering the next generation so they can achieve more,” Smith said. By training the next generation of researchers, engineers and technical employees, the scholarship also “solves problems for all of our companies and for the economy as a whole.”

Have Boeing planes always been used for Air Force One? In 1962, two 707-320B jets were adapted for use by President John F. Kennedy, earning designation Air Force One” when the president is on board. Since then, Boeing 7-7 series airplanes have continued to be the official aircraft of the U.S. president.

Did Boeing have influence with NASA’s Project Apollo’s nine manned and unmanned expeditions?

Virtually all of Project Apollo’s spacecraft and launch vehicles— including the Saturn V rocket, Apollo command and service modules, and Lunar Roving Vehicle—were designed, developed and built

by Boeing.

Why is the 777 significant in Boeing’s 7-7 series airplanes?

The 777 was the first commercial jet to be 100 percent digitally designed.

When complete, the new 777x series will be the world’s largest and mostefficient, twin-engine jet.

Is the Dreamlifter the largest airplane in the world? No.

The largest airplane in the world is currently the Antonov An-225 Mriya.

However, the Dreamlifter’s 65,000 cubic feet (1,840 cubic meters) cargo hold is the largest in the world, and it can hold three times the volume of a 747-400F freighter.

The new Seattle Delivery Center opens its doors to help with increasing deliveries of 737s

K

ing County executive Dow Constantine and Seattle mayor Ed Murray joined Boeing leaders and aviation students to snip the ribbon at the grand opening of the new and significantly larger Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field.

The delivery center’s newest addition is partially due to the increasing volume of 737s being built, delivered and yet to be delivered.

Over the next decade Boeing will be delivering an average of two airplanes every weekday, month-after-

month, for the foreseeable future.

“This facility is a sign of our continued commitment to the community and the Puget Sound region,” said Pat Shanahan, senior vice president of Airplane Programs.

Boeing teams with Northwest Harvest to nourish children over holiday break No child should go hungry, especially during the holidays. This is why more than 30 Boeing volunteers formed an efficient assembly line, packing nearly 1,000 backpacks full of food for low-income children to bring home to help feed their families over the holidays. Northwest Harvest fills this gap in services for low-income students who rely on school and summer meal programs and often have a tough time during these longer school breaks.

You keep innovating.

We’ll keep caring for you.

The people of Snohomish County have been fishing, farming, teaching, protecting our nation and building amazing things for over a century.

For most of that time, The Everett Clinic has been here too, providing innovative healthcare to our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your support. We’re proud to be part of your extended family.

The 707, first known as the Dash 80, was Boeing’s first jetliner and profoundly altered the future of passenger air travel even though Time magazine called it the “gamble in the sky.”

In special recognition of this and past efforts, the USO Northwest recently honored Boeing and its employees with its Order of Distinguished Service at its annual Gala and Auction in Seattle.

This award is the highest level of recognition by USO Northwest and is reserved for individuals and organizations having demonstrated exceptional service to military members and their families through sustained support of the USO Northwest.

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. ECF grants enable local Health & Human Service agencies to purchase equipment, renovate their facilities and build new construction that directly benefit thousands of people in need. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community nonprofits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients:

$40,000 delivers new transit van SEATTLE — Immanuel Community Services (ICS), located in Seattle’s Cascade neighborhood was granted $40,000 for a new 2014 Ford Transit van for food collection and to transport clients. The agency, an independent offspring of Immanuel Lutheran Church, provides assistance to the homeless, the needy and those with drug addictions.

The new 44,000-square-foot facility will preserve care for the 7,000 patients currently provided at Neighborcare Health’s Greenwood Medical Clinic and Public Health’s North Public Health Center, and will double access to provide a health care home for at least 14,000 patients.

$259,100 grant for new Meridian Center for Health

SEATTLE — Neighborcare Health was granted $259,100 toward the purchase of dental chairs and furnishings for its low-income dental clinic located at the new Meridian Center for Health in north Seattle.

Neighborcare Health is Seattle’s largest provider of community-based primary medical and dental care, serving 52,000 individuals through 26 medical, dental and school-based clinics.

$25,000 grant allows for needed renovations

$32,000 for ARC WHITE CENTER — Westside Baby, located in Seattle’s White Center neighborhood, was funded $25,000 for renovations to its bathrooms and staircase to meet ADA codes and make the distribution center more accessible to clients and volunteers.

More than 120 local social service agencies, including shelters and food banks, rely upon Westside Baby to provide critical necessities for low-income families. In 2014, they distributed more than 1 million free diapers along with 826 car seats, 267 cribs and clothing for infants and children up to size 12.

$40,000 grant for campus improvements REDMOND — Together Center was granted $40,000 for exterior renovations and paint for four buildings at its direct service campus located in Redmond. More than 37,000 residents and their families use the services at the campus each year. Twenty independent health and human service agencies offer medical and dental care, overnight shelter for youth, low-income housing and homelessness assistance, mental health counseling, therapeutic programs for disabilities, child care support and much more.

Toys For Tots Run raises spirits during a down year for Arlington Runners Club

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — Runners of all ages thronged the parking lot of the Stillaguamish Athletic Club on the morning of Dec. 5, many of them clad in relatively brief and lightweight attire in spite of the day’s cold rain, to support the Arlington Runners Club’s 10th annu-

al Toys For Toys Christmas Run. However, while the event’s attendance numbers of 83 runners for the 5K and 42 for the 10K are no small accomplishment, given the inhospitable weather, runners club president Jon Hatfield noted that this was reduced by more than half, compared to previous years’ average turnouts of nearly 300.

“We were down by a lot, and I can’t say for sure what the cause was,” Hatfield said, even as he praised the runners who did show up. “All our events this year have seen soft attendance, but since this is our biggest event of the year, it saw the most impact.”

Hatfield estimated this year’s run raised at least $1,630, which is appreciated but well below the club’s usual

total of close to $4,000. He heard from a few of his regular runners that another holiday fundraising run in the area happened to fall on the same time this year, but he hasn’t verified that yet.

“Even the toy-giving seems to be down this year, though,” Hatfield said. “Several years ago, we had a run that did about as well as this one, but before we could figure out

what had happened, the next year saw us go back up to our regular levels of attendance and donations. We’ll be looking at this as a club, to see how much might have been scheduling or the need for more of a social media presence. Of course, if it’s due to the vagaries of the economy, we can’t really quantify that.”

Hatfield nonetheless

thanked the community for what he still considers a commendable level of support, and encouraged them to donate directly to the Toys For Tots Foundation online, through the PayPal application on its website at www. toysfortots.org.

The results of the run will be posted on www.arlingtonrunnersclub.org/raceresults.

Native Bazaar showcases traditional crafts

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — The annual Native Bazaar wrapped its second and final weekend Dec. 5-6, with 32 Tulalip

Tribal artists and crafters joined by four others from non-Tulalip tribes at the Don Hatch Jr. Youth Center.

Tammy Taylor has organized the event for the

past half-dozen years, but she estimates that it began around 15 years ago.

“It started with only a handful of artists,” said Taylor, who’s worked as a cedar-weaver alongside

her husband and daughter for 20 years. “Finally, Native artists had an outlet to share their traditional gifts.”

Taylor saw a steady stream of hundreds of visitors pass through the artists’ tables, not only during the first weekend in December, but also Nov. 21-22.

“We had some slightly more contemporary pieces this year, although I’m not sure that’s the right word for it,” Taylor said. “Monica Ordonia presented some beautiful handmade oil painting prints. David Fryberg’s hand was in a cast, but he still showed his skills as a master drum-

maker and cedar-weaver.”

David wasn’t the only Fryberg displaying his wares at the youth center.

Cyrus Fryberg and his wife specialize in bead-work, with him stringing together necklaces while she makes earrings.

They were joined by Jeanette Williams and Virginia Charles, who continued to hand-knit pillows and pouches intently, while Brenda Hawk and Mary Jackson sold handmade bath and beauty products as part of their “Dolly’s Girls” line.

“Our vendors always do really well,” Taylor said.

“Our crafts are highly sought out, because you

can’t just go to any store to buy them. My husband and I harvest our own cedar bark. We use the natural resources around us to fuel our art.”

Taylor thanked the attendees from not only Tulalip, but also Marysville, whom she credited with consistently supporting Native artists and crafters over the years.

The Hibulb Cultural Center at 6410 23rd Ave. NE in Tulalip will be hosting another Native Bazaar on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is free, and the event includes holiday crafts and Santa photos.

Meanwhile, in Arlington ...

‘Socks On Saturday’ exceeds collection goal kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Although some of the participants suggested it could be better promoted next time, the debut of the Arlington Community Resource Center’s “Socks On Saturday” collective drive Dec. 5 vastly exceeded its organizers’ expectations.

Mary Chesney, a member of the community resource center’s advisory committee, set an initial goal of collecting 50 pairs of socks. According to the center’s program manager, Seanna Herring-Jensen, the latest count shows they collected 288 pairs.

Even before the

Stillaguamish Athletic Club in Smokey Point, and Action Sports and Arlington Hardware & Lumber in downtown Arlington, set out their collection boxes, the collection drive had already hit up Workforce Snohomish and a number of area churches for donations.

Rich Senff of Action Sports was gratified to hear that the drive did well overall, but he requested that more promotion be done through social media and other channels beyond word of mouth, since his own store saw relatively few returns for its efforts.

Still, Herring-Jensen expects the community resource center will have

plenty more opportunities to get it right, since the need for socks easily supports doing such drives more than once a year.

“This is very much an ongoing need,” HerringJensen said. “During the cold winter months, having something as simple as warm wool socks can make a huge difference to the health of a homeless person. When you’re on the street, a pair of socks doesn’t last long, especially since you can’t wash them frequently.”

Herring-Jensen expects the center to distribute socks at least once more this winter, during the county’s annual “Point In Time” homeless count in January, and hopes to

start doing sock collection drives earlier in the winter next year.

“This really was put together at the last minute,” Herring-Jensen said.

“But it shows the generosity of the Arlington community, because no one had to contribute to this, and they did it anyway.

Arlington blows my socks off with its levels of giving.”

The Arlington Community Resource Center is continuing to accept socks at its offices at 18308 Smokey Point Blvd.

The Arlington City Hall is also maintaining a dropbox at 238 N. Olympic Ave. until Thursday, Dec. 31.

M’ville battles weather to bring back Holiday Tour of Lights

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — While most people still associate the winter holidays more with snowfall, city of Marysville maintenance workers have been battling strong winds and heavy rains to get the Cedarcrest Golf Course ready for the fifth annual Holiday Tour of Lights.

Parks maintenance manager Mike Robinson was on site with maintenance workers days before the event kicked off Friday, Dec. 11, and continued through Saturday, Dec. 12. He was

Of course, the features that have become familiar favorites throughout the years will still be present, with holiday music, hot cocoa, roasted marshmallows and complimentary s’mores over the bonfire on the deck of the golf course’s bar and grill, which is offering nightly dinner specials throughout the month of December.

Weller Holiday Remembrance offers pause for mourning

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — In the midst of the season’s festive revelry, the Weller Funeral Home has offered a haven for those who need a space to grieve and remember those whom they’ve lost.

Weller’s 15th annual Holiday Remembrance Gathering Dec. 5 saw the return of Pastor Bryce McFadden, of the Smokey Point Community Church, as well as musicians Gloria Ice and Jackie Fuller, who offered songs and thoughts on the journey toward healing, before members of the Army National Guard presented a folded flag to the

family of Vietnam veteran Nelson Downey Jr., who passed away in February at the age of 68.

“For some of you, your losses are very fresh,” McFadden said. “It might have taken some courage just to walk through the door. But sorrow is the price we pay for losing those whom we love.”

McFadden encouraged those who are mourning the deaths of loved ones to shed tears if needed, since “tears are what make us human,” and are “a simple yet profound expression of emotion.”

McFadden acknowledged that the holidays can be especially painful for those

who are grieving, since our most vivid memories of our loved ones are often associated with the sights, sounds and smells of holiday gatherings.

“When families come together, cheerfulness is expected,” McFadden said.

“All those familiar elements can ambush us with reminders that our loved ones are no longer here.”

McFadden recommended that those who are coping with the loss of loved ones rely on a mix of humility, community and the willingness to experience joy.

“Be gentle with yourself, and take care of yourself,” said McFadden, who gave those who are grieving per-

mission to skip out on some of the pressures that they typically shoulder during the season.

To that end, he asserted that it’s okay to turn to others for assistance.

“Your friends and family are gifts from God,” McFadden said. “It’s all right to accept their help, whether by letting someone else cook the turkey for a change, or just turning to those who are good listeners.”

McFadden even suggested adopting new holiday traditions, if the memories of old traditions with lost

loved ones are too painful.

“Happiness depends on your circumstances, whereas joy comes from within,” McFadden said. “It’s okay to talk about your loved ones, to share stories about them, to retell their favorite jokes.

You can cook the foods they enjoyed, put out pictures of them and list their positive qualities. You can even start new practices, by making donations to charities on their behalf. You can ease your grief by doing for others who are struggling. You deserve to experience that solace.”

Tulalip Beef Jerky Outlet offers flavors for every taste

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Walk into the Tulalip Beef Jerky Outlet, and there’s a good chance that owner Tom Miller will try to give you a guided tour.

The store isn’t actually that big, since it occupies but one of the suites at Quil Ceda Village, but it’s packed with what Miller estimates to be 200 options of jerky, plus plenty of complementary snacking products.

“We wanted this place to have the feel of a general store, because it offers such a wide variety,” said Miller, who noted that the Tulalip store is not only the first Beef Jerky Outlet on tribal grounds, but also the first one west of the Rocky Mountains.

That variety of jerky ranges from dry to marinated, and from mild to hot, from a veritable zoo of different animals, in all sorts of seasonings.

“Our prime rib jerky is probably our most popu-

lar, since it’s not too spicy and it practically tastes like steak,” Miller said.

“My favorite is the threebeer rub jerky, because it’s got a very understated flavor, that doesn’t overwhelm you.”

The Tulalip Beef Jerky Outlet also sells seasonings, sauces and rubs separately, from mesquite to teriyaki, with temperatures promising on the package to be “blazing,” “colon cleaners” or simply “fire,” for those looking to make their own jerky. Its assortment of jerky meats includes venison, elk, buffalo, ostrich, alligator, kangaroo and bear.

In back, a refrigerated section offers almost as many smoked meats, including bison, as well as cheese curds. You can even sample chili peppers, among them the intimidatingly named “Carolina Reapers,” but be warned that the store keeps plenty of bottles of Dasani in stock for a reason.

“It’s got a delayed reaction to it,” Miller laughed.

Miller is enthusiastic about showcasing the Beef Jerky Outlet’s other options, whether it’s vegetarian fare such as Amish popcorn, dried fruits, veggie chips, honey sticks or fried okra, or even if it’s stranger fare, such as fried larvae, chocolatedipped crickets or sweet suckers with ants inside of them.

But what clearly gets him giddy is giving prospective customers samples of jerky, from cherry maple smokey mountain to moonshine and sweet bourbon, with turkey and even salmon jerky from Woodinville rounding out its eclectic melange.

“We’re not just selling products, but creating experiences,” Miller said.

“It’s like wine-tasting.”

Ask him about the bacon jerky, and he’ll invite you to smell it for the hint of maple, before you bite into it. His opinion of lemon pepper jerky? “A good mix, that’s not super-hot.” If you’re wondering whether Cajun, jalapeño or sweet-

and-spicy jerky is for you, not only will Miller let you have a free taste of each, but he can speak about each one from a position of expertise.

He’ll tell you the jerky market has grown 46 percent since 2009, and that jerky is at least as popular with women as with men.

“It fits right in with a Paleo diet, because it’s very healthy,” Miller said.

“It’s very low in carbs, is gluten-free and has no MSG.” With the number of hunters and tourists in the area, thanks to the store’s proximity to I-5, Cabela’s and Home Depot, Miller anticipates his current employee crew of five could grow to seven, so that there would be between two to three employees on the floor during busy shifts.

“I want us to work with people in a hands-on way,” Miller said.

The Tulalip Beef Jerky Outlet is in Suite D at 8825 34th Ave. NE, and will conduct its official grand opening ribbon-cutting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12. Ten percent of the day’s proceeds will be donated to the Union Gospel Mission for the homeless.
