AHS students present 'All in the Timing' By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com For the first time in more than a year Arlington High School drama students return to the stage when they present “All in the Timing.” The first shows for the fall production were held Nov. 5 and 6 and more showings will be held on Nov. 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. “'All in the Timing’ is a collection of five short one-act plays by David Ives. They focus on the concept of comedic timing,” said Arlington High School drama student Jenna Estep. The plays’ characters are unrelated to each other but they do have a common thematic underpinning of actor timing. The production was chosen in part because it’s something in which drama students could show the inSee PLAY on page 2

The Marysville School District will raise the Tulalip flag at all of their schools for the first time in the coming weeks. Officials gathered on Nov. 4 to raise the Tulalip flag at the district’s administrative office building and
to recognize Native American Heritage Month. “It is a great honor to be able to witness this important event. We are going to be hanging a flag at every school,” said Eneille Nelson, director of equity and family engagement at the school district.

Marysville police collect coats for local children By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Marysville police officers and other volunteers helped gather coats and other clothing on Nov. 6 and 7 as part of their annual coat drive. They will also be at the Marysville Walmart at 8713 64th St. NE, Marysville, on Nov. 13 and 14 from noon to 4 p.m. Erik Scairpon, Marysville police chief, said it was a way to give back to the community. “When I meet with every new police officer one of the things that attracts them to this position is service,” he said. “For us, this is a way to extend that service beyond our
everyday normal jobs." Sergeant Matthew Goolsby said local police are happy to help. “It’s about filling a need and working with the community,” he said. “We’re trying to do what we can do to be effective." Local police have held the coat drive annually for several years now. “We donate here every year. We’d rather do it with the police department than anyone else,” said local Barbara Cercone, who donated to this year’s coat drive. The 2020 coat drive was shortened because of the pandemic.
