Denise Jacobsen found the “big knots” the hardest parts of the trees to trim, as she helped thin the limbs of the forested areas of the Doleshel Tree Farm Park in Marysville as part of the Sept. 17 National Day of Service and Remembrance.

MARYSVILLE — In spite of overcast skies that soon turned to the first sprinkles of rain that many Marysville residents have seen in a while, the Doleshel Tree Farm Park was packed with volunteers willing to wake up early on a Saturday morning, go outdoors and improve their community. Dozens of families and individuals alike arrived before 9 a.m. on Sept. 17, most of them bringing their own tools, to transform the property between Kellogg Marsh Elementary and 67th Avenue NE as part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance, sponsored by the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Deanna Vaughan, the Marysville Stake’s public affairs and community representative, explained that the overall objective

of the project was to clear the property of vegetation and trees, as the first step toward turning it into a park and community garden center. As part of this process, volunteers alternately cut down and thinned the limbs of trees that had already been marked by city of Marysville workers, trimming their branches to a height of seven feet to heighten public safety by affording greater visibility from the street to police. “The planning for this has been in the works for about the past six months,” said Shonn Mereness, one of the project’s key coordinators. “We wanted to enhance the availability of parks with an additional park system, which the city had also wanted to do for quite some time, so we were happy to help them out.” “We asked for people who SEE SERVICE, PAGE 2

Keller Williams collects for the food bank

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank is getting a big boost from the Snohomish County-Camano Association of Realtors this month, as they conduct their annual food drive for this year through Sept. 30. Keller Williams Realty in Marysville did its part by presenting armloads of boxes and red bags filled with food and other much-needed supplies to

Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling on Sept. 13. “All the member offices of the Snohomish CountyCamano Association of Realtors take part in this food drive,” said Mary Nemeth, a realtor with Keller Williams in Marysville, as she hefted boxes and bags into Deierling’s truck on Sept. 13. “We get competitive about it,” she laughed. Last year, the staff of Keller Williams Realty in Marysville donated the cash

equivalent of more than 11,000 pounds of food to the Marysville Community Food Bank, with every dollar equating to six pounds of food. This year, the Marysville Keller Williams employees have collected both cash and food donations, many of the latter at grocery stores throughout town. “Everything that’s donated stays local,” Nemeth said. “We’ve even gone door-toSEE FOOD, PAGE 2

as baby diapers and other hygiene products than can get overlooked by donors. “The enthusiasm of this group has been amazing to behold,” Deierling said. “This is just their first delivery to us for the month and it’s a great start.” “We give where we live,” Nemeth said. Marysville Keller Williams employees will be collecting food and other donations during working hours at their offices, in Suite 102 at 1027 State Ave., and from Fridays through Sundays at the Marysville Grocery Outlet, located in Suite B at 9620 State

Ave., through the month of September. For more information, log onto www.100tonsoffun.com. The following items are those most needed by the Marysville Community Food Bank: ■ Canned fruit and vegetables. ■ Rice and pasta. ■ Baby formula and food. ■ Peanut butter. ■ Soup. ■ Canned tuna, chicken and salmon. ■ Granola bars. ■ Chili and stew. ■ Juice. ■ Macaroni and cheese.

SERVICE FROM PAGE 1 could volunteer time, tools and talent,” Vaughan said. “With equipment like chainsaws, we obviously wanted people who knew how to use them safely. For its part, the city provided a wood chipper on site so that we could feed the branches and limbs that we trimmed into it to be turned into mulch and bark that the city will use to help create trails and pathways.” Denise Jacobsen’s sash and tiara were nowhere to be seen, as the Marysville Strawberry Festival Junior Royalty Princess joined mom Jenny in thinning out the forest while wearing a heavy sweater, sturdy gloves and blue jeans. “I don’t usually sleep in on Saturdays anyway,” Denise said, as she put some muscle behind her shears. “The big knots on these trees are the hardest to cut off.” “As soon as we heard the announcement at our church, we knew we’d be coming here today,” Jenny said. While the day’s labors drew support well beyond the LDS Church, many church members likewise came from well beyond Marysville to contribute their efforts. Elders Michael Broadhead and

Sammy Abele, 6, helps out by trimming tree branches at the Doleshel Tree Farm Park in Marysville as part of the Sept. 17 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Joshua Warhurst traveled from Salt Lake City, Utah, to do their mission work in Marysville, which included removing and replacing the Doleshel Tree Farm Park’s metal fence along 67th Avenue NE. “With anything like this, if we don’t do this work, who will?” Broadhead asked. “Besides, this benefits everybody,” said Evan Parker, who recently moved to Marysville from Idaho. “Doing work like this gives you a sense of accomplishment. We won’t take this place for granted.” Marysville Boy Scout Danyon Heacock, aged 14, teamed up with the volunteers to take out the existing bridge crossing the streams on the property, and began installation of a new bridge that he intends to provide

greater safety to visitors. “The new bridge will be 25 feet long, so it’ll be easier to get across,” said Heacock, who recruited a couple of dozen volunteers of his own to help him complete his Eagle Scout project. “It’ll also have handrails, pressure-treated wood and nice decking.” Heacock credited the city of Marysville with strongly supporting his project, and also cited contributions from Parr Lumber in Everett, Matheus Lumber in Woodinville, Arlington Hardware & Lumber and Carr’s Hardware in Marysville. Danyon’s mother, Carleen Heacock, expressed her pride in her son for learning how to approach adults about his project and explain to them its importance.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tolbert for Arlington Mayor A turn of fate made us residents of Marysville and not Arlington. The annexation in 1997 eliminated our neighborhood from the approved boundary. Decisions made by the elected some years back left Smokey Point in two cities, Arlington and Marysville. Many residents and business people in the area feel the current leaders are still struggling with how to unite the areas of old town Arlington and Smokey Point, Arlington. We see an opportunity opening up to accomplish just that. It will be with the voters’ choice in the race for Arlington’s Mayor this fall. As business people in Arlington we support Barbara Tolbert for Mayor. Fresh ideas on economic growth and unification of all communities of Arlington need to be nurtured. The city is so much more than Olympic Avenue. Barbara Tolbert demonstrates her ability to unite people as the director of the Fly-In, a volunteer structure that pulls off a very large yearly event. From our vantage point she is what is needed at this time. Put Barbara Tolbert in the office of Mayor. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate. All Arlington citizens will be proud to have her as their representative and voice of the city. Bruce and Becky Foster Marysville

Support Nehring for Marysville Mayor As a 10-year resident of Marysville, I would like to

voice my support to retain Jon Nehring as Marysville’s Mayor. I have known Jon for eight years through his involvement in community programs. Jon truly cares about Marysville and the people that live here. Many times I have witnessed Jon speaking with people around town, listening respectfully to their concerns about the state of our city and its future. Jon is a leader who effectively communicates and takes action on behalf of the peoples he represents. Jon Nehring is a hard working civil servant with high integrity. He is committed to fiscal responsibility, and I believe that his vision will keep Marysville thriving and on the right track. Sarah Chism Marysville

Mayor Nehring finds solutions I am writing this letter to share with our community about the caring and compassion that Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring shows family caregivers who are taking care of their loved ones with disabilities. I took my vision and need for adult daycare homes in Marysville to Mayor Nehring and explained to him that family caregivers need time off without placing their loved one in an institution. Family caregivers are on the job 744 hours in a month. Their eyes might close, but their ears are wide open. We sat down at the table with the chief of police, the fire chief, the chaplain and staff and helped create standards for adult daycare homes. SEE LETTERS, PAGE 5

North from Marysville

like to keep an eye out for the dirt-cheap bookings my condo association offers for last-minute cancellations. So when one popped up at Whistler we tossed some things into a bag and headed north. North took us past that vacant stretch of developers’ dreams between I-5 and Old 99 where leveled and staked FOR SALE acreages sit like empty tables in a restaurant at 4 p.m. North took us across the Stilly bridge where upstream, a platoon of Humpy fishermen busily entangled each others’ lines. Veterans of this particular fishery have taken to calling it “Combat Fishing.” We continued up the hill to where an Angel of the Winds billboard beckoned hungry homebound Camano commuters with a, “Cheap and delicious dollar menu.” Familiar landmarks drifted by: The N.O.A.H. Animal Adoption and Spay/Neuter Center, that woodsy little pond so gorgeous that passing drivers can’t help envying the homeowners who look down upon it, a stretch of rough concrete that drowned out conversation and the disk in the Prius’ sound-system. The hawk that frequents a snag just before descent into the Skagit flats was absent. Had it discovered better hunting grounds or was it pasted to someone’s bumper for choosing a bad time to collect road-kill? Our first scheduled stop was Bellingham’s American Museum of Radio History, an attraction friends said I shouldn’t miss. At one hour into our trip we found our way to 1312 Bay St. and

parked in front of the museum’s ominously quiet building. This was at 11 on Monday morning. A placard at the door explained that the museum opens at noon but not on Mondays or Tuesdays. Oh well. It happened that Woods Coffee’s flagship outlet was straight across the street. Woods Coffee is to Bellingham as Starbucks is to the rest of the planet, but more so if that popular Bay Street bistro is any indication. Woods Coffee’s eleven shops might be emblematic of the funky-classy civic tone that has caused Bellingham to be rated one of America’s most livable small cities. We’ve had little reason to veer off I-5 to explore Bellingham since the death of my wife’s grandfather in 1976. Over thirtyfive years the town has come to echo more of Portland’s tone than that of Everett, Tacoma or Seattle. Part of that is surely the vibrancy associated with college towns. It has the feel of a mini-Boston, a place people are proud to call home. We breezed through Canadian customs at Blaine and travelled past vast under-glass acreages that provide us with Canadian Hothouse Tomatoes. Over the hump to the Fraser River delta and its blueberry ranches where

industrious clans of Asian farmers convert the profits from their labors into expansive mansions. Thanks to the recent Olympics, most arterials into Vancouver were re-done and the link from Blaine to Trans-Canada Highway 1 is no exception. TransCanada’s 20-mile construction zone though is the exception. We joined its teeming commute, jostling for space with a river of long-haul trucks headed for the port. At Hour-3 we pulled off at the Westview Safeway for provisions. Onward. With Vancouver behind, we marveled at what must be the world’s most costly highway improvement where cliff-hanging curves appear to dangle over empty space above stunning views of island-dotted Queen Charlotte Channel. After a Mickey-D coffee stop in Squamish, the Sea-to-Ski Highway took us to Whistler Village and Cascade Lodge, one of our oft-visited homes-awayfrom-home. The weather had turned iffy causing our venture up the Gondola and Peak Chair to yield dramatic glimpses of partially shrouded peaks and onrushing snow squalls. After a short hike we retreated downward to try the Peak to Peak gondola that connects the mountain lodges of Whistler and Blackcomb.

Budget needs greater accountability

everal factors are influencing our state’s tax collections outlook, which dictates the overall state budget. Unfortunately, the record $32.4 billion 2011-13 budget passed last May will likely be adjusted downward based on lagging tax collections due to continued job losses and hesitant consumers. To be sure, several national and state issues are contributing to the steep decline in state tax collections, but faltering accountability and oversight at state agencies and staggering state lawsuit liability also play key roles. The 2011-13 budget spent roughly $1.8 billion more than the 2009-11 spending plan, and included in the amount is $149.2 million for the state’s two-year lawsuit liability. The total lawsuit fund set aside for 2011 alone is $76 million — up from $52 million in 2010 and has nearly tripled in cost since the $26 million

LETTERS FROM PAGE 4 Never once was there a wall put up or barriers. This is a city that wants to help the people in the community to be able to live at home. Before this the only choices that families had for time off were expensive institutions. We have made these homes safe and affordable and they are overseen by our city. Even though my journey is over, someone else’s has just begun. Mayor Nehring saw my vision and together we worked to build a solution to long-term care problems. Mayor Nehring does not only look at today, he looks into the future to see what needs to be done. Not only does he look at the financial numbers for the city but also for the

To be clear, I strongly believe people who lost their lives and/ or lost their quality of life due to failures in state agency operations and protocol should be compensated. However, I think we would all rather see the nearly $150 million in funding spent on keeping community corrections officers in place, streamlining child protection services and addressing unsafe roadways to help prevent future tragedies.

Clearing up some misconceptions In response to a Sept. 14 guest column that ran alongside my monthly Mayor’s Column in The Marysville Globe written by my challenger in the Mayor’s race, I’m compelled to clear up some misconceptions and points that need clarification. n With regards to a proposal to build a coal export terminal at Cherry Point north of Bellingham, that

NORTH FROM PAGE 4 British casualty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sealed in over a 1,700-foot drop, there was no fleeing from the nut-case. Back down in the Village, we strolled amid hordes of travelers from far places.

Observing them in action re-ignited a fear that those wonderfully diverse peoples may be abandoning their cultures to imitate the lifestyle of the Western World’s rich

the bill for state agency missteps and outright mistakes, such as these few examples: n $130,000 awarded to an inmate for shoddy dental work at a state prison; n $174,000 to a woman the DOC forgot to let out of prison when her sentence was fulfilled; n $108,000 to ferry workers who sickened themselves by mixing bleach and ammonia together; n $4.8 million to children that were sexually and physically abused — the abuse was reported to Child Protective Services, which did nothing about the report despite the father admitting the abuse; and n $105,000 payout due to the State Patrol performing a SWAT Team raid on what they thought was an “illegal junkyard” when the owner of the yard had permits and licenses required to operate the business.

would add substantially more train traffic through Marysville, the city did not hire an expensive consulting firm to study traffic impacts. Salish Land Policy Solutions, a Bellingham public interest consulting firm, gave a presentation to the City Council on July 26 at no cost, and Gibson Traffic Consultants, hired by Salish, provided a preliminary analysis of traffic impacts, also at no charge to the city. City officials have been lobbying state and federal lawmakers for I-5 transportation access improvements at interchanges throughout the Marysville corridor and, while the 156th Street overcrossing is being funded through a private partnership with local property owners without on- and off-ramps, city officials are taking the steps necessary

We broke camp the next morning to drive south in a drizzle, arriving at the border at 11 a.m. Ninety minutes later we presented passports and gave info about our origin, visit in Canada, that we had no contraband, what we’d bought, all the time being scrutinized for tell-tale signs of nervousness that might indicate we were up to no good. Compared with our five-minute processing by Canadian border patrollers on the way up, it was clear that Canada is far less nervous about who enters Canadian territory than U.S.

While budget writers are forcing state employees to take 3 percent pay cuts and asking citizen legislators to do the same, lawmakers should also be willing to put everything on the table for discussion as it relates to managing the state budget — including state lawsuit liability. I maintain the state could save taxpayers millions of dollars by addressing its lawsuit liability issues. To that end, I have drafted legislation that will require the attorney general’s office to review each lawsuit and put forward remedies to state agencies. State agencies would then be required to follow the directives in order to mitigate the state’s financial liability and protect taxpayers. The costliest agencies are the Department of Social and Health Services, the Washington State Patrol, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Corrections.

at the federal level to ensure ramps can be installed in the future. n The City Council last April did not pass a rule exempting big-box retailers from paying traffic impact fees. The action in April enabled Costco to apply previously paid traffic fees, for which they were due a refund, toward their Local Improvement District (LID) road assessment. The April 2011 ordinance had no impact on Walmart. In 2005, Walmart applied for site plan approval on a site with commercial zoning. Since the site was commercially zoned, it did not require any specific action by the Council or Mayor. They processed their approval in accordance with city rules for a commercial site. Walmart has already paid the $769,000 in traffic impact fees to

Liability costs related to the failures in state agencies are unacceptable. With a little bit of leadership from the governor and clear directives on how to lessen situations like those mentioned here, we could begin to reform the way state agencies do business. Forcing government to look at every function and ensure it is in the best interest of those it is serving, and those paying the bills, is good for everyone. It’s not too late to find ways to address the budget issues facing us, but it will take leadership and the willingness to fund priorities in the budget, enact reforms and retake the helm of our state to control costs at every level, including lawsuit liability.

the city, and $130,500 to Snohomish County. They are also required to construct off-site road and intersection improvements at Hwy. 9/SR528, SR 528, SR 528/87th Avenue, and SR 528/83rd Avenue that represent over $3.5 million in improvements. n The city had originally purchased the Coca Cola bottling plant for a Public Works expansion and relocation that was anticipated as a result of civic campus planning that had been ongoing for several years. After putting these plans on hold, we re-evaluated our building expansion plans and decided to sell the property if we could recover the purchase price for the portion of property sold. We were fortunate in negotiating a sale with Parr Lumber Company to purchase the facility.

The property consists of three lots the city bought for $3.75 million. Parr is buying Parcel 1 with the building for $2.3 million. This is scheduled to close this week. They also have a purchase agreement for Parcel 2, 2.48 acres with no street frontage, for $645,432. The city is retaining Parcel 3 along 76th Street NE for future public safety uses. Parcel 3 is 2.8 acres and fairly represents the remaining purchase value of about $800,000. So, while it is true that the city re-evaluated its purchase of the property and successfully negotiated a sale to a new business, it is inaccurate to suggest that our actions are resulting in a financial loss.

Immigration is about entrants to the U.S. Maybe we should spend more time exploring the reasons behind the reasons that this is so. CORRECTION A column that appeared in the Sept. 7 issue suggested that the cost of a political yard sign could be less than $1. Though that remains true for the printed sheet but by the time you add a stake, backing and assembly and distribution, the cost may triple. With volunteer labor a sign should not top $3.

Tomahawks run over Cascade 48-0 BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

Travis Sherer/Staff Photo

Senior halfback Andre Pina ran for 113 yards in just 10 carries in the Tomahawk’s 48-0 victory over Cascade on Sept. 16 .

EVERETT — At times, Andre Pina was looking for contact. During the Tommies’ 48-0 blowout of the Bruins Sept. 16, M-P’s senior halfback wasn’t just shedding tackles — in some cases he was torpedoing right threw them. In a game that could be called a breakingout party for Pina, he looked like a different runner than he was just a year ago. “I was a little smaller last year, and an underclassman,” he said. “So I think at times I didn’t run right at them.” That isn’t the case this year. Pina racked up 113 yards rushing on just 10 carries and two scores (37 and 3 yards), helping his team improve to 2-1. “Andre had a great game today,” said M-P coach Brandon Carson. “He didn’t get to play last week against Edmonds so I think he had a little more motivation today.” But the stats weren’t enough to tell the whole story, as it was hard to tally the number of broken tackles Pina accumulated throughout the first half, when he did most of his damage. But while Pina may have stolen the show

and put the Bruins away, it was the aerial attack of sophomore quarterback Jake Luton that raced M-P out to a 21-0 lead, connecting on a pair of touchdown scores with Kyle Nobach (15 and 65 yards) and another with Cody House (5 yards). “I thought our passing game was real solid,” said Carson. “Jake did a great job to start the game and just got us going.” In what Carson called the team’s first clean game of the season, the Tommies pitched their first shutout behind a dominating performance by the linemen. “We knew we had to stop their running game,” said Carson. “Both their quarterback and running back were dangerous, so we just had to get off the line quick and get to the ball.” M-P held Cascade to less than 100 yards of total offense for the contest, and even returned a turnover for a touchdown with Brandon Moser’s 30-yard return in the third quarter. The Tommies led 34-0 by halftime. Senior halfback Demar Stell added a 14-yard rushing score. M-P will face defending Western Conference champion Arlington Sept. 23.

Lakewood falls 3-0 to King’s BY TRAVIS SHERER sports@marysvilleglobe.com

SHORELINE — While the defense was there for a half, the Cougars’ offense never showed up. The Lakewood girls soccer team left a 3-0 Cascade Conference loss to King’s Sept. 15 with more questions than it had opening the match. “We had some breakdown in communication in some places,” said Lakewood manager Jeremiah Wohlgemuth. “And that has to improve because we were making decisions that were counter productive.” In a rare defensive breakdown, the Cougars allowed three goals in the second half. Two of those goals came from King’s earning 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 situations. The gamedeciding goal came just three minutes into the second half by Anisa Uberuaga, who knocked the ball in from just inside the goal box after the Knights’ original cross passed the goal mouth and was redirected by Beth Stella. “I just thought that they came out after halftime with a definite game plan and stuck to it,” Wohlgemuth said. “They just kept attacking and moving the ball around and we

had trouble with it.” King’s scored again in the 52nd and 60th minutes, marking just the second time in three years that a Lakewood defense allowed more than two goals in a match. Despite posting a clean sheet during the first half, Lakewood conceded possession to a King’s team that was as physical as any team the Cougars are likely to see this season. “It’s not a style that we haven’t seen yet,” said Wohlgemuth about King’s being able to push his girls off the ball. “The difference between them, Burlington-Edison, Mount Vernon and Cedarcrest is that they were able to back up that physicality with a finesse game — winning the ball and then distributing it where they needed.” Meanwhile, the Cougars weren’t able to mount much of an attack, neglecting to put a shot on target in 80 minutes. Their best scoring chance came from a cross by Anna Kuchler that skipped through the penalty area and just past a pair of Lakewood runners who would have had nearly the entire net to work with. Lakewood fell to 1-2-1 on the season.

Marysville remembers 9/11

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — On Sept. 11, 2001, Marysville police officers and firefighters not only watched as they lost fellow police officers and firefighters to the terrorist attacks in New York City, but also suffered the loss of one of their own at home. Ten years later, the Marysville community came together to pay tribute not only to the 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers and emergency workers who fell that day trying to save the lives of others, but also to the Marysville Fire District’s Lt. Jeff Thornton, who passed away that same day after battling with cancer. Before the Marysville Fire District Honor Guard paraded the colors and Marysville firefighter Tim Gunn rang the bell at the memorial at 8:46 a.m., in honor of Thornton and the first responders who perished in the World Trade Center attacks, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring spoke of the national character that he believes Americans collectively demonstrated in response to the deaths of 2,977 victims that day. “We were meant to take the attacks personally and we did,” Nehring said. “But the hijacking terrorists didn’t bargain on our resilience as a proud and free nation, the endurance of our values and our dedication to rebuild and move forward. The terrorists accomplished their goal of killing Americans, but they didn’t come anywhere near to destroying the American spirit.” Nehring noted that the day’s losses became “one life even more personal” with the passing of Thornton. “’Fireman Jeff,’ as he was known to many of our schoolchildren through his classroom visits as a public educator and around the community, is still fondly remembered by his Marysville Fire District family, Marysville Police and city personnel, and others who knew him,” Nehring said. Later that same day, Marysville resident Robert Hitchings held the American flag that had been flying from his house in Seattle 10 years ago. “By the time I moved up here, it was too faded to be flown anymore,” said Hitchings, a Vietnam vet-

eran who retired from the Army in 1986 after 22 years of active duty service. “I got a newer one for Christmas, which I finally got around to putting up just recently.” Hitchings handed over the no-longer-serviceable flag to the members of Marysville American Legion Post 176 at the pavilion in Jennings Park on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Marysville Legion members had already received more than 40 flags to dispose of that day, during an afternoon flag retire-

ment ceremony. “We received more than 100 unserviceable flags to dispose of at last year’s ceremony,” said Tony Campbell, second vice commander of Legion Post 178. “Of course, that was the first year we’d done this. We’re actually lucky that we didn’t receive as many flags this year, because otherwise it’d take us a couple of hours to retire them all, like it did last year. We’re hoping that this year means that we’ve turned it into an annual event.”

“This date joins another infamous day that is seared into our memories, that of the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941,” said Ken Cage, commander of Legion Post 178. “We hope that we will be able to do with 9/11 as we have

done with Pearl Harbor — never forget, but move on and make the future better.” As he’d done last year, Cage had invited anyone who owned a flag that had “outlived its usefulness” to contact him to arrange

City honors Hoge as Volunteer of the Month

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring has announced that Les Hoge has been named Community Volunteer of the Month for August for his work as coordinator for the American Cancer Society Road to Recovery Program in Snohomish County over the past year. The Road to Recovery Program provides transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer that do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their cars so that patients can receive the life-saving treatments they need. “It can happen too often each day that cancer patients need a ride to treat-

ment, when some may not have a way or the means to get there,” Nehring said at the Sept. 12 City Council meeting where Hoge was honored. “Les is an essential volunteer of that program, and is unrivaled in his level of involvement.” In the past year, Hoge has matched more than 800 activities of transportation to get free rides door to door for cancer patient treatment. As a point of comparison, this same program in King County has done 300 activities so far this year. Hoge, and the many drivers with whom he is quick to share the volunteer award accolades, are always available to help patients in matching a volunteer driver to the patient’s appointment

needs during the week and on weekends. Hoge’s nominators, Kathy Reiff of the Providence Regional Cancer Center in Everett, and Jerri Wood, American Cancer Society Quality of Life Manager, said that without his tireless dedication, that quantity of relief would not be offered to remove much of the stress to these patients and their families. The program provides financial relief, and individuals get emotional support on the ride to their treatment from compassionate people who know when to just listen, said Nehring. Many volunteers have endured their own battles with cancer of one sort or another. “Les is a big-hearted

individual all around,” said Reiff. “He not only contributes to Providence and the American Cancer Society, but also volunteers for his church, food bank and cloth-

ing assistance programs.” Nehring congratulated Hoge for his selfless donation of time and service to ACS and Providence, the compassion and goodwill he

brings patients in the Road to Recovery Program in the their time of need, and the countless volunteer hours and energy he gives back to the Marysville community.

TAX SERVICES Q: I have been receiving unemployment compensation since March when my company closed. May I pay my health insurance premiums from the funds in the HSA (Health Savings Account) that I established while working?

Jill Czadek Enrolled Agent

A: Generally, health insurance premiums are not qualified medical expenses for payment with the funds in your HSA. However, premiums for health care coverage while an individual is receiving unemployment compensation are allowed. You are also able to pay COBRA health care continuation coverage and qualified long-term care insurance from your HSA. For more information about Health Savings Accounts please call our office.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.
