TULALIP — The Tulalip Resort Hotel’s Orca Ballroom was packed with more than 400 diners and auction bidders whose contributions will help the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club keep pace with the needs of the community’s youth. “I just come to watch Mel,” laughed Dan Olson of HDR Engineering, a fiveyear veteran of the annual auction benefitting the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club. “He does such a great job as the host. I’m also interested in bidding on some Tulalip fine dining.” Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr., who emceed
this year’s event, noted that the annual auction has been going for 13 years, as long as he’s been on the Tulalip Tribal Council. He deemed the event’s regular attendees old friends. “It’s great that we can all come together for the kids,” Sheldon said. “Our guests come not only from Snohomish County, but also from Skagit and King counties. We even have a few from as far away as Idaho. The younger generation needs inspiration, and the Boys & Girls Clubs give them a place where they can go to socialize and play sports.” Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Larry
Nyland likewise praised the Boys & Girls Club for providing a safe environment that’s both educational and recreational. “They’re great partners with the schools and communities,” Nyland said. “Kids can go to the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club after school and receive tutoring on computers.” Marysville City Council member Michael Stevens attended the auction for the first time this year, but he made up for it by bidding on several items for his kids and for landscaping. “There was a cooler basket and gift certificates for SEE AUCTION, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — “I’m still cold now,” said Daniel Anderson, the day after he was rescued from an expedition into the wilderness gone awry. Anderson, a Marysville resident and Washington State Patrol trooper, was off-duty when he and a few friends ventured east of Darrington, first by biking 11 miles, then by hiking 10 more miles, before camping out in the mountains on May 13. On May 14, Anderson parted company with the rest of his party to continue on to Holden Village. “I screwed up,” said Anderson, whose military service has included stints in the Marines, the Special Forces and the National Guard. “I was confident in my training, but
when you go off on your own like that, just one little thing can leave you so vulnerable.” It was a trail he’d hiked before, and he’d brought two GPS units to keep himself on course, but the one stopped working and the other began leading him down a questionable path as he continued his hike on May 15. When he set up camp that evening, 800 meters past the wood line, he realized that he’d lost his tent in one of his falls. “I knew it was an emergency situation,” Anderson said. “It was just a matter of time before hypothermia set in.” Anderson used some pine branches, a flat, square boulder and the SEE RESCUE, PAGE 2
