County considers how to spend $160 million in recovery funds Officials hold 'Recovery Roadshow' to meet with local residents on June 23

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Snohomish County officials are deliberating what to do with $160 million of COVID recovery funds and talked with community members on June 23.

The county’s Office of Recovery and Resilience, which was created in 2021 to help distribute the recovery funds, held their fifth ‘Recovery Roadshow’ meeting in Arlington.

One meeting was held for each of the County Council districts and Arlington’s was the final meeting.

Eight outdoor pickleball courts are now open for the public at Jennings Memorial Park as Marysville officials cut the ribbon to the park improvements on June 20.

The city has been constructing the new courts by the park’s baseball field near the parking lot off of 55th Avenue since August of last year.

Pickleball is a racket sport that is played on a court that is similar to a small tennis court and features elements of traditional tennis, badminton and ping pong.

The city was able to open their new courts this June.

Getchell firefighters host pancake breakfast

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Getchell firefighters welcomed the community to Fire Station 68, talked with local residents and provided food during their annual Pancake Breakfast.

The event was held on June 25 this year and is a tradition the Getchell Firefighters Association has put on for many years.

Families receive free breakfasts, tour the station and see the insides of many of the district’s emergency vehicles.

“It’s a fundraiser for the firefighters association,” said Getchell Fire District assistant chief Jeremy Stocker.

That money goes to support Getchell firefighters.

“They’ve helped us purchase a snow plow and other items in the past,” said Stocker.

They also provide additional amenities at the fire station to help make firefighters more comfortable.

“We staff the fire station 24 hours a day,” said Stocker, so firefighters are stationed there throughout the night.

The annual Pancake Breakfast event also serves as an open house.

“People from our community and surrounding communities can come and See GETCHELL on page 9

covery priorities,” said Kelsey Nyland, who works with the county’s Office of Recovery and Resilience and was one of the main organizers of the meeting. “The money is intended to focus on helping communities that were most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic."

There are limits on what the funds can be spent on but counties do have a lot of freedom in choosing exactly how to spend it as well.

“It’s really rare to see significant, once-in-a-lifetime infusions of federal money into our communities, and we want to make the most of it,” said Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert. “It’s a great opportunity to address systemic issues in our community that we can make real and lasting change with."

In talks with other government organizations the county narrowed on six potential focuses for the spending: childcare and early childhood education, homeless shelter availability, housing affordability, behavioral and mental health services, job training and economic opportunity and supporting local youth.

“At almost every meeting some combination of mental health services, affordable housing and shelter have been the most voted issues,” said Nyland.

At the Arlington meeting residents and community members voted for mental health services the most, followed by economic opportunity and then a tie between childcare services and youth supportive efforts.

Children have experienced a great deal of mental health trauma over the last couple of years, according to residents.

Marysville resident Ron Friesen said education has suffered because of it.

“One of the things I’m seeing is that the last two years have been incredibly damaging for students. Parents are ticked off that education isn’t happening as they would like to see it,” he said. “The main reason for that isn’t

because teachers don’t know how to teach, it’s because they can’t. The students have these emotional and social problems that aren’t being dealt with."

Arlington resident Kristina Jorgensen said the best and most efficient way to tackle local crime is through providing basic necessities such as mental health support and housing.

“I think, as some people have said, there is an increase in crime but it really is just a lack of resources and accesses to resources,” she said.

Jorgensen works with families in the child welfare and criminal justice system as part of her job.

“It’s not that people just want to wake up and commit crime. When they don’t have their needs met and they don’t have access to basic needs they have to survive and end up in those situations which we call criminal,” she said.

Jose "Neaners" Garcia, executive director of Hope for Homies, a Stanwood nonprofit organization, hoped that more services could support the Hispanic community.

“We only have one resource — Sea Mar [a local community health center organization] — and I think we have to have more than that. We need more resources for these kids to create healing,” he said.

To support economic growth more post-high school opportunities need to be available for local kids, said Ryan Brown, a Lakewood community member and executive director of LINC NW. “When you’re in Stanwood or Darrington it’s awfully hard to get to these places, and we’ve got kids that are just capable and have so much potential in those trades but we can’t get them there,” he said.

Transportation down to Everett is needed, but not sufficient by itself, he said.

“I think we need to move some of those skill centers north and east as well,” he said.

Arlington mayor Barbara Tolbert talks during the county’s ‘Recovery Roadshow’ meeting on June 23.

executive director Carla Rankin hopes that support continues to come to local food banks.

“We know there is one in seven people that suffer food insecurity and we know that one in five of those are children,” she said.

The Arlington food bank’s program to provide meals to school kids for the weekend went from 200 packs per week to 1,500 packs per week during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Demand is unlikely to return to previous levels soon, she said.

“I hope that we’re tapping into services that we already have and supporting them rather than duplicating them,” said Rankin.

Snohomish County’s Office of Recovery and Resilience will continue creating the plan for the $160 million that will head out to local communities over the coming months.

“If folks didn’t get to attend a roadshow they can just shoot us an email,” said Nyland.

Those who are interested can email snohomishcounty.recovers@ snoco.org.

The final recommendations will be given to the county council as part of the county’s budget process.

“We’ll come out with our spending plan that is informed by the community sometime within the next couple of months,” said Nyland.

Student advisors named for ASD

3

Arlington High School students have been selected as student advisors to the School Board, Advisory Council for Education (ACE), and the District and Community Equity Team.

Mariska Lebahn was selected as Student Advisor to the Board. Alyssa Acosta, Rosa Bella Barkley, Grant Cramer, and Ava Wolfe were selected as Student Advisors to ACE. Kathleen Azpiri, Josline Contajioso, Raven Kaloudis, and Sera Sabol will serve on the District and Community Equity Team.

The students interviewed for the positions on May 10.

The purpose of ACE is to provide a systematic, representative public involvement in educational decisions under consideration by the School Board. The District and Community Equity

Team’s purpose is to provide input and feedback for the implementation of the district equity plan. This group will include diverse representation from key stakeholder groups.

The group members will engage in conversations about the equity work and needs.

The student advisors were introduced to the Arlington School Board during its June 13 meeting. Lebahn will be sworn in at a board meeting in August.

The other students will begin their service in September.

Arlington students are eligible to apply for the student advisor positions during their sophomore year. They must be in good academic standing and have the approval of a parent, a teacher/advisor/ counselor and their principal.

If selected, the student serves a two-year term during their junior and senior years.

PICKLEBALL

Pickleball is not a new sport, but it has become more popular recently.

“It has had a slow growth for a really long time. I can remember playing it in middle school P.E.,” said Hall.

It was invented on Bainbridge Island and was recently named the state sport of Washington.

“We started offering classes a few years ago and within a year they were filling up,” said Hall.

The Marysville Pickleball Club was formed soon after that and they have more than 300 members now.

“They would play at Cedarcrest Middle School,

Continued from page 1

them up they were on the courts playing pretty much immediately,” said Dave Hall, assistant director of Marysville’s Parks, Culture and Recreation Department.

He said the reaction has been positive so far and the courts have seen a lot of use.

“I was just out there to play a game and of the eight courts there were only two that were open,” he said.

Local Lena Rudquist said she was glad local outdoor courts have been built.

“This is awesome. It’s so badly needed. Everyone we talk to is so excited that these are here,” she said.

Local Doug Rudquist said he has been playing the sport for 30 years.

“We play a lot at the YMCA in Marysville, Mill Creek and Mukilteo,” he said. “We’ve got an outdoor tournament coming up in Lake Stevens so we wanted to come out here and practice. There’s not too many outdoor courts you can play at without being a pickleball member."

Lena Rudquist said she wants to help teach her grandchildren to play as well.

“They’re looking forward to coming to play here,” she said.

She said it was a good investment by the city of Marysville.

“Our taxes are definitely helping the community because this is an active sport that everyone is picking up,” she said.

The Marysville City Council budgeted $236,000 from their general fund to create the courts at the park.

Marysville Middle School or the YMCA,” said Hall.

Members advocated for the need of a Marysville courts because they sometimes had to go to other cities to play.

“Now we have people coming here from other cities,” said Hall, who added he met a couple of players

from Camano Island who had come to use Marysville’s courts.

The city has begun classes for pickleball at the new courts.

“We have been hosting classes on Mondays and Wednesdays but they have already become sold out,” said Hall.

Jennings Park has eight total courts that are open for public use during normal park hours, which are from 8 a.m. to 30 minutes after sunset.

Pickleball classes take up four of the eight courts, so some courts are available for public use during those times as well.

MSD presents equity action plan

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville school officials hope to improve equity at the district after presenting the final draft of their equity action plan on June 21.

District staff have been working for several months on drafting the actions local schools should take to make sure that students from marginalized groups have equal access throughout the district.

“This plan is so every student has access to the resources and educational resources they need at the right moment in their education, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, language, ability, family background or family income,” said Eneille Nelson, executive director of equity and family engagement at the district.

The school district faced criticism in 2021 after Black high school students faced multiple in-

stances of racist harassment.

“This is a plan to help make things better,” said Erica Tate, one of the members of the Equity and Family Engagement team and a counselor at Cascade Elementary School.

“Marysville has had a couple of hard years and a lot of the things in this action plan will help repair what happened. It was a mess but we listened and heard and shared,” she said.

Students, staff and community members were involved in the process to help create the plan.

“We were looking for diversity, people who represent our students as a whole,” said Nelson.

“Making sure that we didn’t only have teachers but para-educators and other staff members,” she added.

A final draft of the plan was presented on June 21 for the board's consideration.

“Many of these things we’re already working on and are already

in motion,” said Travis Hammond, a member of the Equity and Engagement team.

According to the plan, district staff should create a platform for reporting harassment or discrimination.

“With reporting process and procedures, this one was hugely important for students,” said Nolan Ward, one of the members of the Equity and Engagement team.

“This is an area that they felt very strongly that we need to work on improving."

Under the plan there should also be student groups and spaces focusing on diversity.

“Eneille [Nelson] and I were able to have a meeting with the Spanish speaking students and families at MP and this came up,” said Hammond. “They said ‘hey, our kids at the Elementary school don’t have a Spanish club,’ and the idea of having those things is so those children can get together with their peers and families can

meet each other that are going through similar things."

A welcoming environment is important for basic student attendance.

“I heard so many stories over the course of this … listening to parents in their driveways trying to get their kids to school and all of the reason why that is,” said Tate, who added that due to ethnicity, having a non-traditional family or for other reasons, many students avoid school when they can.

“If we’re not putting butts in seats, than the whole academic side is pointless,” said School Board member Connor Krebbs.

The plan also calls for hiring and recruitment efforts to focus on reflecting the diversity of the community.

Training for current teachers and staff is also needed included in the plan.

“Our goal is to hire and retain employees who support, implement and exhibit continual

growth in their understanding of educational equity,” said Ward.

A platform for staff to report harassment or discrimination has started this year.

Each school building in the district will also have teams meant to lead on how to make the school more inclusive.

“One of our biggest pushes next year is the BELTs [building equity leadership teams],” said Hammond. “We really want to get in coordination with them.".

The final draft of the plan was discussed at the meeting and a vote for final approval and discussion is planned for a future meeting.

School Board president Paul Galovin said he was happy to see the district’s plan come together.

“I love the work that is going on and it has been a huge push,” he said.

“To have this come to fruition is a dream come true, although we have a long ways to go.”

MSD to create more ways to discuss policy change

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville School District plans to create advisory groups to provide feedback on important policy changes beginning in the next few months.

The first steps toward this plan were discussed during the June 21 school board meeting.

“Public input creates more inclusive and cohesive communities,” said Zac Robbins, Marysville School District superintendent. “It also contributes to better decisions because decisionmakers can get more information on public sentiment and a diversity of ideas that they can use to make decisions in the best interest of all children."

The process is still in the early stages of planning so not all details are known.

Officials expect that the groups will be similar to advisory committees composed of students, staff and parents who want to include their voice on specific new policies.

“This process will not be invoked for every policy, but when the board or the district believes it is essential to give public feedback and public participation over and above public comment and meetings,” said Robbins.

In recent months, public comment on policies such as the district’s proposed parental consent policy have been limited to one hour due to the high number of speakers that have signed up to talk.

The new feedback process is meant to allow more time and for people to fully talk through the practical

matters of adopting new policies.

“For example it could help us understand the personal, emotional and legal implications of parental consent before moving along in the policy adoption process,” said Robbins. “I cite the matter only as an example of the importance and benefit of additional structures to get timely, diverse, inclusive and useful feedback from the greater community beyond public comment."

The amount of time the advisory groups will discuss

potential policies will likely not be set in stone.

Robbins said it will likely depend on the specific policy and how much community members want to speak on those issues.

“I agree with it being a subjective timeline. There have been various topics over the recent months where we’ve had to align our schedules, which is not that easy, and align our schedules with legal counsel, which is not that easy,” said school board member Wade Rinehardt.

The advisory groups will likely meet in-person and be of selected representatives from the community.

“It will be open for people to ask to be a part of that selected group,” said Robbins.

School board president Paul Galovin said the goal of the group should be to include a diversity of perspectives.

“We want to hear from a variety, not just from a sole source,” he said. Those that want to be a part of that process should simply ask school officials how to get

involved in that, he said.

Robbins said that students will be included when they can be in the process.

“Students clearly have things they want to say and they clearly have interests,” he said. “When possible and when appropriate, and that’s most times frankly, students will be involved in the process.”

The new feedback process would also be meant to more adequately cover the community’s concerns about potential school policies.

“Our goal is to be effi-

cient because we want to be respectful of everyone’s time, but it will come down to the individual policy,” said Robbins.

The new process could be ready to begin this fall, said Robbins. He said that the team working on the process is aiming for it to be ready in August, but added he didn’t want to make a commitment if they need to take longer.

“We recognize a need for this … but I want to be transparent by saying we are the beginning stages,” said Robbins.

Soroptimists hand out scholarships

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Young women students in Marysville received many scholarships for their work and community service during the Soroptimist club of Marysville’s awards breakfast on June 7.

A total of 10 students in the Marysville School District received scholarships totaling $2,000 each from the Soroptimists, a local service club that focuses on women and typically provides scholarships at the end of each year in Marysville.

Students were awarded the scholarships based on a number of factors, including academic achievement and community involvement.

“It’s always impressive to me when you give these awards out,” said Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring at the event.

“It’s not just the grades, although these students do an incredible amount of work, but then you hear about all the work with NJROTC or being Athlete of the Year, and it has always struck me how the busier the student is the more they seem to achieve,” Nehring said.

Nehring hopes the students use the funds to help pursue their passions.

“I would love to see you go on and see you do whatever it is that you want to do,” he said. “Know whatever you do, that Marysville is proud of you already.”

Zachary Robbins, Marysville School District superintendent, said he was glad to be at the event.

“I’m just so thrilled to be here and see the families

because isn’t this the most wonderful group of students you’ve ever seen,” he said.

Marysville Getchell High School career counselor Alicia Coragiulo said she enjoys watching the students graduate even if they do have to leave the school when they do.

“Every year I feel like I develop closer and closer relationships with our seniors,” she said. “As much as I love this job and love seeing you flourish, it is very sad when you leave.”

Students are going to a wide range of colleges with the scholarship funds, including Colorado State University where Emily Hamre plans to study environmental engineering and Riley Perrine plans to study language, literature and cultures.

Isabella Raynaud is headed to San Diego State University to study public health and wants to become a paramedic.

Natalie Otto will attend Kent State University to get a degree in fashion merchandising.

Other students will be remaining in state. At Western Washington University Kaila Saldana plans to study elementary education, Emma Michal plans to study bio-chemistry and Karla Garcia plans to study psychology.

Psychology is a popular degree choice among the scholarship winners as three other students also plan to study it: Abbygail Bojador who will attend Seattle University, Myranda Otto who is going to Central Washington University and Jayda Pittman

who plans to go to Everett Community College.

In addition to scholarships, student Katelyn Borquez was recognized at the 2021-22 Cadet of the Year with the district’s NJROTC program.

“Her ability to naturally motivate and inspire others and challenge any process or person who does not provide equality sets her apart,” wrote Kathy Wilde, one of the instructors of the program.

Nehring wanted to thank the Soroptimist Club of Marysville for their work providing scholarships.

“I’ve known a lot of the leaders in this Soroptimist group and I’m just so impressed and grateful

for their dedication to our community to help these young women as they head off into their career,” he said.

Club president Tina Hudon also wanted to recognize the parents.

“A big huge thank you from all of us to the par-

ents, because we know what it takes to be behind these kiddos to make sure they’re as successful as they are,” she said.

Arlington plans Fourth of July celebration

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Arlington’s Fourth of July traditions will return this year, including the Grand Parade, fireworks and the Great Stilly Duck Dash.

The city has not been able to hold their Fourth of July events since 2019.

“We are working really hard to bring this back and make it as good as possible,” said Diane Krieg, executive director of the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Events begin at Haller Park in the morning with the traditional Pancake Breakfast from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. The event is sponsored by Stilly Valley Youth Dynamics.

Arlington Kiwanis’ auction will also be at the park from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

The funds raised at the auction go to support the service club’s efforts to support local students.

“They didn’t get to do the auction for two years,” said Krieg.

“And that is the main way they fund their scholarships so they need some help with that,” she added.

The Arlington Runners Club will host the Pedal, Paddle, Puff Triathlon at 8 a.m. at the Foam 5k Fun Run at 9 a.m.

In the afternoon, events will be held on Olympic Avenue and in Legion Park.

The Old Fashioned Carnival will be held from noon to 4 p.m. at Legion Park.

“That will provide a lot of kids games and activities,” said Krieg. The free event provides carnivallike games for families to enjoy during the day.

As the carnival winds down, families will gather along Olympic Avenue to prepare for the Kiddies Parade at 4:30 p.m. and the Grand Parade at 5 p.m.

The event is where a lot

of the Arlington community comes together.

“If you haven’t seen someone in a long time it is the best place to find them again,” said Krieg.

Many families begin putting their seats up early along the street and come down every year to the annual event.

“It’s the fun and a tradition for a lot of people,” said Krieg.

The Arlington Rotary’s Duck Dash begins at 7 p.m. which typically sees hundreds of rubber ducks race down the Stillaguamish River.

The event is the Rotary’s biggest fundraiser of the year usually and raises funds for the group’s community donations to organizations such as the Arlington Community Food Bank, Cocoon House, local scholarships or to many other groups.

Finally, the day ends with community fireworks

which will be set off at Quake Park at approximately 10 p.m.

Fourth of July is traditionally a day filled with activities for Arlington.

“There are so many people that I’ve talked to that have come down for the Fourth of July to be with a friend and tell me that it

is part of the reason they eventually moved to Arlington,” said Krieg.

“They love the old-fashioned feel of the downtown and all of that the things that are happening downtown,” she added.

Events are also happening the weekend preceding the Fourth of July, with the

Stilly Beer and Wine Garden being held at Haller Park on July 2 and 3 from noon to 9 p.m.

The Salt Grass Dirt Band will play at Legion Park on July 2, at 6 p.m., and a cornhole tournament will be hosted at the beer and wine garden on July 3 beginning at 2 p.m.

Free summer concerts at Jennings Park

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Free concerts return to Jennings Memorial Park this July as the city of Marysville’s Sounds of Summer program and Children’s Concerts Series run in July and August.

The Sounds of Summer brings bands to the Lions Centennial Pavilion at Jennings Memorial Park.

The concerts take place over five consecutive Fridays from July 15 to Aug. 12 beginning at 7 p.m.

“We have a lot of different bands coming to the park,” said Chris Tay-

lor, cultural arts supervisor with the city of Marysville’s Parks, Culture and Recreation Department.

“They will play approximately 90 minutes of live music and guests can come with their blankets and food and enjoy a concert,” said Taylor.

Bands coming to the include folk group Cosmo’s Dream on July 15, Seattle jazz guitarist Scott Lindenmuth on July 22, Boise pop-rock band Red Light Challenge on July 29, traditional Celtic and Irish group the Third Harbour Band on Aug. 5, and Danny Ward on Aug. 12.

“Costs are escalating all over the place so any time you have the ability to provide a free service is good,” said Taylor.

Coming out to see the music also provides a good opportunity for people to come out and enjoy Marysville’s biggest park during the summer months.

The Children's Concerts Series also returns this year with three dates in the summer.

Those concerts also take place at the Lions Centennial Pavilion at Jennings Park but happen on Wednes-

days at noon.

“We love to provide this opportunity to give children exposure to fantastic music,” said Taylor.

Concerts this year include Eric Herman on July 6, the Brian Waite Band on July 20, and the Harmonica Pocket on Aug. 3.

Taylor wanted to thank the businesses that help fund the freer summer concerts.

“We appreciate our sponsors who help put this event on,” he said. “So we want to thank Sonic and LeaderOne for their partnership and support.”

Junk in the Trunk returns July 9

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The city of Marysville’s garage sale event, Junk in the Trunk, will return this year on July 9.

The event is held at the Marysville Municipal Court building at 1015 State Ave. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is free to attend.

“This is a large outdoor community garage sale,” said Kristen Rasmussen, recreation coordinator with the city of Marysville’s Parks, Culture and Recreation Department.

Vendors come out and set up at the parking spots of the court building.

“People can check out the variety of items for sell and they like hunting for

those unique items, being sold for a fair price,” she said.

The annual event has been held for many years.

This year will also feature more food options for those coming out to the community garage sale.

“I’m excited that we’ll have a couple of food truck vendors as well,” said Rasmussen.

The food trucks from Cascara Coffee Company, Sugar + Spoon and Big Red Truck are scheduled to be at the event.

There are 51 currently registered vendors for the event, and they have a maximum of 75 spots, which the city has reached in the past.

“It’s a real mixed bag of ven-

dors,” said Rasmussen. “Some of it will be secondhand stuff from homes such as clothes and furniture."

Many of the vendors will be selling classic garage sale items.

“People will bring stuff they’re trying to get out of their house and sell,” said Rasmussen. “It is a chance for people to get that kind of stuff out of their home."

Other vendors will be direct sellers or bring items from their small businesses.

“There are lots of opportunities for people making stuff as well,” said Rasmussen. She said at least one jewelry crafter and one plant vendor are registered for the event.

“This is an easy way to sell the items they have … it’s nice that they can park their car and be right there.

It’s not a huge set-up,” said Rasmussen.

Vendor spaces are still available for $30. Preregistration is open until July 7

and there will be no day-of registration available.

Registration is available by emailing krasmussen@ marysvillewa.gov.

Parking is available at Marysville City Hall, which is one block away from the court parking lot.

City officials request that pets be left at home for the event.

More information about the event is available at marysvillewa.gov/junkinthetrunk.

Haller students participate in Mars Day

By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Haller Middle School students have been participating in the annual Mars Day Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) event for the past few weeks to problem-solve various challenges as they work to “colonize” Mars.

Eighth graders worked with select Arlington High School students to serve as Capsule Communicators on Earth while the younger middle schoolers worked on the Mars surface.

“Except for the two years for COVID-19, we’ve held this event since 2017,” said

Haller teacher, Rachel Harrington. “Mars Day provides a great opportunity for students from different grades to work together to solve problems.”

Stations this year included water rockets, combustible rockets, fuel specialists, Orion SplashDown, Navigation team, Aquaponics, Robotic Arms, Habitat, Solar Panels, Rescue Team, and Soft Landing.

“It’s a windy day so we’ve had to work together to secure our habitat so it wouldn’t blow away,” said eighth grader, Conner Haines. “High wind and dust are something that

we would experience on Mars.”

Arlington High School ninth grader, Dallas Prouty, signed up to the help at the event.

“I’m a member of the Arlington High School JROTC so this was a good opportunity to put my leadership skills to the test,” said Prouty. “It was fun coordinating with the middle schoolers on this project and successfully work as a team.”

Teachers received a number of grants to put on the event, including one from the Arlington Education Foundation.

Like buying the family size box of cereal, it really is a better buy in this case to go for the bigger package.

As a side note, if you are planting ground covers and trying to decide between 4-inch pots or 1-gallon containers, remember that 4-inch pots are usually spaced 18 inches apart while gallon pots can be planted 36 inches apart. By doubling the spacing (18 inches to 36 inches), you will actually need one quarter the amount of material, so that helps considerably to mitigate the cost difference between a 4-in and 1-gallon plant. Also, since 1-gallon pots have a larger root system, they are generally

This is the first time since 2019 the local firefighters have been able to invite the community in because of COVID. Usually Getchell firefighters are able to get out during events like their Santa Run. “There really hasn’t been that many opportunities to

intermingle with the public and this is the first event where we’ve been able to do that so it’s awesome to see the turnout,” said Stocker.

Community member Zanna Smith said the event was fun and was glad to be able to come to it again.

“We actually try to come every year but they haven’t had it because of COVID for a couple years,” she said.

“Ever since Asher [Zanna’s son] was born, we’ve been coming to this though. We have pictures of him sitting on the fire trucks since he was baby."

Regardless of what size you start with, be sure to beef up the soil with plenty of organic material, such as bagged compost, and add generous amounts of organic fertilizer. The goal is

to get your new plants off to a good start and the only way to accomplish that is with good soil and of course plenty of water. This year, more than ever, it is critical that we don’t skimp on the soil amendments and food.

Teams compete in city softball league

By Nathan Whalen christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

Several dozen adults got to enjoy a warm, sunny afternoon playing softball on one of the diamonds at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

They were competing in Marysville’s Sunday Spring Co-Ed League that has been playing double-headers on Sundays since April. The season will wrap up with playoffs at the end of June. The city of Marysville organizes the league.

Two teams competed on June 26 – Emo-Geez, which is a group of friends who also play football together, team manager Corey Whitney said, and AC3, which is a team from Allen Creek Community Church.

Church member Nathan Crain said the team is an outreach program and a way to build relationships and play some softball.

The sunny, nearly 90-degree weather was a nice change from the wet spring the teams endured that prompted cancellation of several games throughout the season.

“It’s been the worst rain in 24 years,” Crain said.

June 26 should have been the playoff day for the Spring Co-Ed League, but the rainy spring changed those plans. A playoff will take place sometime later in the week.

Three teams are currently participating in the co-ed league. Jennifer Fries, athletic supervisor for the city of Marysville, said softball leagues are rebuilding in the wake of COVID-19.

Shannon Patton runs toward home plate during a co-ed softball league game June 26 at Marysville Pilchuck High School. She plays for AC3, which is a team from Allen Creek Community Church.

The city also operates a Monday Men’s Spring League that also takes place at Marysville Pilchuck High School. The championships for the men’s league took place June 27 after the North County Outlook went to press.

The city of Marysville is also organizing a summer softball league with both men’s and co-ed divisions. Games begin the week of July 10 and teams will compete in 10 games.

Community invited to compete in All-Comers track meets

By Nathan Whalen christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Athletes of all ages and abilities will have opportunities throughout July to test their skills.

The All-Comers Track Meet, which is organized by the track programs at Marysville Pilchuck and Lakewood high schools along with the city of Marysville, take place on Thursdays throughout July.

“All ages are encouraged to participate,” said Mike Cull, track coach at Marysville Pilchuck.

He said for children the All-Comers Track Meet often marks the first time they are exposed to track and field, and for older participants it’s a chance to relive past glory days of competition.

Last year the track meet had a 90-year-old participate, said Jennifer Friess, athletic supervisor for the city of Marysville.

Cull said children as young as 2 years old to people in their 80s have competed.

The All-Comers Track Meets take place from 6

The All-Comers Track Meet, held at Lakewood High School Thursdays in July, provides family fun for all ages. p.m. to 8:30 p.m., on July 7,14, 21 and 28 at the Lakewood High School track.

The meets alternate each year between Lakewood and Marysville Pilchuck high schools.

Cull said there is something for everyone with running and field events being offered. Some field events include a softball throw and throwing a plastic javelin.

“It’s such a great family event,” Cull said.

The results are recorded, and some participants try to break their results from previous years, Cull said.

People can register online ahead of time at www. marysvillewa.gov/971/AllComers-Track-Meets or at the Lakewood track the day of the race. Registration is $5 per race or $20 for four races.
