LAKEWOOD — The Plant Farm at Smokey Point is once again covered in pumpkins, but the Rotary Club of Marysville’s annual “Pumpkins for Literacy” program has a few new wrinkles this year. “We’ve got four weekends instead of three this year for our pumpkin patch,” Marysville Rotary Past President Gayl Spilman said of the event, which kicked off on Oct. 8 and runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week, through Halloween, Oct. 31. “We still have the bouncy houses and the hay and train rides, though.” “We’re aiming for about 260,000 pounds of pumpkins this year, even though I heard they’re having a pumpkin shortage in Canada,” Marysville Rotary Vice President Daryn Bundy SEE LITERACY, PAGE 2

Pinewood students get active after school BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Since the last week in September, Pinewood Elementary has been conducting an experiment in health and fitness, and to judge from the response of the more than 50 students who have chosen to turn out for the twice-weekly all-volunteer program, many of the school’s fourth- and fifth-graders are ready to embrace it. Pinewood Elementary teachers Jason Fallihee and Dan Perkins meet with a number of fourth- and fifthgrade students at the playground after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays to split them up into two groups — one of which stays outside to run the

track, with the other going into the gym to complete a circuit of more than a dozen exercise stations — with those two groups switching locations halfway through athletics sessions that last between half an hour to an hour each. “The reason we started this was to emphasize health and fitness, rather than just sports,” said Fallihee, who’s traded titles from “PE teacher” to “health and fitness teacher.” “This is how we do PE during the day now too. We do a lot of muscular endurance and cardio work. We still include sports in our programs, but we want to expand personal fitness SEE ACTIVE, PAGE 12

LITERACY FROM PAGE 1 said. “We did about 210,000 pounds last year. Every year, this event grows a little bit. In 14 years, we’ve given back more than $350,000 to the community through ‘Pumpkins for Literacy.’” The event has grown in the scope its mission this year as well. “All our proceeds go to literacy programs in the community, but that’s not just books in local elementary school libraries,” Spilman said. “Community groups will be able to submit grants applications this year, which we’ll be reviewing and dis-

tributing next year. It can be for after-school programs, English as a second language, adult leaning programs or anything else that’s about literacy.” Spilman explained that, rather than handing out checks for $1,000 each to every elementary school in Marysville, Lakewood and Arlington, monies will be dispensed based on the needs of the schools and other organizations in question. “Some schools might need more than others,” Marysville Rotary Pumpkin Patch Chair Mitch DePriest said. “We’re still working out

the details, but we expect to start accepting applications in November, after this year’s pumpkin patch is done,” Spilman said. “The end of the year will probably be the deadline to submit applications, and the grants could be distributed in late January or early February of next year.” In the meantime, Marysville Rotarians touted the entertaining activities that “Pumpkins for Literacy” offers to school groups and other attendees of all ages, from the petting zoo to the concession stand. “We’ve had school groups come all the way from Edmonds and Seattle just

to be here,” Spilman said. “People have reserved tours and even birthday parties here.” “What I think is wonderful is when you see whole families having a good time together at the pumpkin patch,” said fellow Marysville Rotarian Tom Albright, who was joined by his 4-year-old grandson Xander in helping place pumpkins in the patch on Oct. 4. “Everyone can have

fun for little to no cost, and it’s not uncommon to see two and three generations of the same families out here doing just that.” The Rotary Club of Marysville will have between seven and 10 volunteers each weekday, and around 15 volunteers each day of the weekends, on site to serve those attendees. “I have a great group of people that’s made my job so much easier,” DePriest

said. “No matter how short the notice, they’ll show up to get the job done.” To book your own group at the Plant Farm at Smokey Point for “Pumpkins for Literacy,” call Toni Mathews at the Marysville branch of the Whidbey Island Bank at 360-657-3100. Individual attendees may simply swing by the Plant Farm at Smokey Point, located at 15022 Twin Lakes Ave. in Marysville.

LWSD holds School Finance and Information Fair BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — With two propositions slated for next February’s ballot, the Lakewood School District took the time to explain to the community what’s at stake. Lakewood Middle School hosted a “School Finances and Information Fair” on Oct. 4, for the community to learn more about these two proposed ballot measures. Proposition one would renew the current maintenance and operations levy, which represents approximately 20 percent of the district’s total operating budget. Proposition two would be a capital levy to pay for critical repairs at some of its schools, as well as to continue funding the district’s investment in technology and address pre-planning for a future modernization of its high school. Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock and Lakewood Middle School Principal Crystal Knight were among the district staff and faculty who answered questions in the school commons that evening, with oversized display charts and graphs to help illustrate their points. “By conducting this as an informal open house, we hope that the district and the community can learn from

each other,” Haddock said. “We can use the input we receive from this night to help provide further information to the community before the February election.” Fred Owyen, the district’s director of operations, emphasized the importance of addressing its critical facility needs prior to the anticipated high school project, which would consume years of planning, design, construction and bond payments. Among those needs are the district-wide controls for its heating and ventilation systems, which staff described as obsolete and unreliable to

the point of inconveniencing students and increasing costs, and the roof of English Crossing Elementary, which they asserted must be replaced before it causes serious damage to the school. The 11 older portable classrooms were likewise characterized as uninhabitable and past the point at which modernization would be cost-effective, while the stadium was presented as needing preservation to prevent further deterioration, until it could be modernized in the future. Some of the strongest expressions of community support that evening for modernizing the high

school came from elementary school parents such as Marissa Schroeder and Yvonne Gallardo, both moms of Cougar Creek Elementary students. “I would have said ‘yes’ no matter what, but it’s nice to see what I’m saying ‘yes’ for,” Gallardo laughed. “It’s because of my two little ones that I’ll advocate so strongly for the high school,” Schroeder said. “I feel like we got spoiled with our beautiful Cougar Creek facility, and education is a huge priority for us. The community is growing a lot, but this plan wouldn’t cost us any more than we’re already paying.” Haddock had explained to

Schroeder that the levies and bonds would maintain a level tax rate for citizens. “We have buildings that are nearly 30 years old, but designed with a 50-year-old educational model that does not provide a cohesive learning environment,” said Robin Barker, executive administrative assistant for the district. “The buildings that are more than 40 years old need work to last through the high school project. They have not received any significant repairs since they were constructed, and many of their systems are failing, creating difficult environments

N OW

for students. Planning must begin in advance of a bond issue to allow for community input and accurate cost estimates. One of David Keifer’s kids already graduated from Lakewood High School last year, but he’s got another one still attending Lakewood Middle School. “My kids are both Lakewood lifers,” Keifer laughed. “This is just the right thing to do, because it’s an investment in our kids. It’s structured so that it maintains our district facilities without putting undue tax burdens on our citizens.”

Community art project kicks off in October

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Arts Coalition, in partnership with the Marysville Parks Department, the Greater Marysville Artists’ Guild, Arts & Tech High School, and several local businesses, is coordinating a community-wide art project to help showcase the city’s holiday spirit while raising money to fund local arts opportunities. A parade of unique plywood wreaths, decorated

to represent families, service clubs or businesses, will be installed on light poles throughout the city beginning the week before Thanksgiving, to be displayed throughout the Christmas holiday. In fact, the outdoor decorations will be stored for reuse for the next three years, said Parks director Jim Ballew, with additional styles added in subsequent years. The 39” wreaths, manu-

factured by Arts & Tech students, will be available at several retail locations beginning Monday, Oct. 10, and at the Parks Department’s office at Jennings Park. The cost is $30 for a blank cutout, and will include suggestions for weather-resistant decorating ideas. Buyers also have the option of having their wreaths created by professional artists and crafters

for an additional $30 fee ($60 total). The idea of the plywood cutouts is similar to projects managed by the Arlington Arts Council and Downtown Arlington Business Association, but with a Marysville twist. The goal is to display 100 unique and festive holiday wreaths along Marysville’s busy corridors in a show of community spirit and unity. The Marysville Arts

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Lundberg deserves your vote Donna and I have had the pleasure of working with Pete Lundberg on many projects over the years. Be it as parents, PSTA members or as volunteers working on bond and levy committees, Pete was always there as a staunch supporter of improving the learning opportunities for Marysville’s youth. His depth of experience will bring added insight to the school board and his proven work ethic means he will be there to make sure the job gets done. It would have been easy for Pete to retire to his family and hobbies feeling good about what he had done for this community, but that’s not Pete. The fire still burns and those are the type of individuals we need representing us. So show your appreciation and support by voting “Pete Lundberg” onto the Marysville School Board. Steve and Donna Muller Marysville

Nehring is a leader I am writing to encourage the voters of the city of Marysville to retain Jon Nehring as Mayor of Marysville. Jon is a great advocate for the city of Marysville. I have worked with Jon for several years and know he is an honest man who is always positive and dedicates himself to serving the public. He is constantly working for the betterment of Marysville and the greater community. Jon has the ability to bring people together to solve common problems. He is well

respected by other public officials in Snohomish County. We elected Jon as Chairman of Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT), an advisory board to the Snohomish County Council. He has done an outstanding job at SCT. I enjoy working with Jon and am proud to endorse him. During these difficult economic times, we need steady, effective leadership. Marysville is fortunate to have a great public servant in Jon Nehring. Terry Ryan Councilman, City of Mill Creek

Vote for Nehring When my husband and I bought our house in Marysville 12 years ago, our intention was to stay about a year or two and then move on. But happily, those plans never developed. We both come from smaller Washington cities and were drawn to the “small town” feel of Marysville. I currently run a successful design business in Marysville and I have worked with many local companies, both as vendors and clients. I enjoy the support that I have received from the city and its many offices. From the Police Department to the Parks and Recreation Department — everyone I have interacted with has been helpful and proud to serve their community. Unfortunately, the downward turn of our economy has forced Marysville to make cuts in services and staffing, but I feel like the current city staff is still working very hard to provide the level of service I’ve come to appreciate.

Focus, Teamwork and Optimism

s educators we are charged with, what I believe to be, the world’s most important, challenging and rewarding work. It is an awesome responsibility, a noble calling and a passion that requires us to rise above any challenge and do the best job we can for every child, every hour, every day. These are challenging and tumultuous times. Now, more than ever, it requires us to be laser focused on our mission and what’s essential. It also requires us to pull together, support one another and demonstrate the power of teamwork. We have worked very hard over the past few years to be clear. Clarity — the definition: “The quality of being clear, pure and transparent.” Our focus: clarity about who we are; clarity about our core work; clarity about where we are; clarity about standards and accountability; and clarity about where we go from here. Our strategic plan adopted in 2010 will guide our work for the next five to seven years helping us to stay true to our mission and core values. We are clear about our core work — educating ALL children, preparing and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. In addition to clarity, we have fostered coherence across our school system — aligning our work to maximize our impact. Each of our schools and departments establish annual school/department improvement plans that align to our district strategic plan. These specific and measurable plans guide all of our work. We frequently assess how we are doing in relation to these plans. We use the data we gather to determine our next steps. This clarity and coherence

Guest Opinion Dr. Kristine Mcduffy are making a difference across the school system. Our Leadership Team: principals; assistant principals; directors; and cabinet members, are modeling for our entire school system the power of teamwork! We have developed our Collective Commitments which are: n We accept learning as the fundamental purpose of our schools and district and therefore are willing to examine all practices in light of their impact on student learning. n We are committed to working together to achieve our collective purpose. We cultivate a collaborative culture through development of high-performing teams. n We assess our effectiveness on the basis of results rather than intentions. Individuals, teams and schools seek relevant data and information and use that information to promote continuous improvement. One of our district essentials is putting into practice the cycle of continuous improvement through professional learning communities. There are teams at all levels of the organization — departments; grade levels; content areas; leadership. These teams meet on a regular basis to examine their data and make adjustments in their practice. It is impressive to see the level of commitment and profes-

sionalism focused on results. Yes, these are challenging times. Yes, there is a lot of uncertainty in our work. Yes, we would benefit from stability in funding and accountability systems. But, these children and families walking through our doors each and every day can’t wait. They deserve the very best. They deserve optimism and positive professionalism and we can deliver! Our commitment to the success of every child, every hour, every day is unyielding. We will continue to rise above these challenging and tumultuous times through focus, teamwork and optimism. Thank you for entrusting us with the community’s most valuable resource — the children. We are so fortunate to be members of this caring, committed community. Please consider joining us . . . Focus on Education Measuring Our Progress Tuesday, Nov.15, noon to 2 p.m. Noon: Lunch 1 p.m.: School Tour We will be hosting our community in our schools and classrooms to provide an opportunity for you to see first-hand evidence of the progress we are making. Included in the day’s activities will be a bus ride to a few schools, classroom visits, and a hosted lunch. You can RSVP with Andrea Conley at 360618-6217.

LETTERS FROM PAGE 6 So it distresses me when I see that one of the Mayoral candidates, Kelly Wright, states on his website in regards to a city staffing review, “A top-to-bottom review will find those redundancies and help us eliminate them...” I can only gather that by “redundancies” he means employees, and I can’t begin to imagine our city doing with even less. While I appreciate Mr. Wright’s contract work in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan, to compare their third world governments and budget structures to Marysville is a little ridiculous. I know Jon Nehring has only been in office for a short time, but I’ve seen him around town, in local businesses, even on my own street in one of the annexed neighborhoods. Evidently the annexation issue was the reason Mr. Wright decided to run. Funny, Kelly Wright read about Marysville’s annexation while 6,700 miles away. Jon Nehring was right here in town actively participating in the process. My vote for Mayor will go to Jon Nehring, giving him the opportunity to allow Marysville to grow — while keeping our friendly small town ways. Jennifer Ward Marysville

served on the Arlington Planning Commission and currently serves as the Vice Chair for the Snohomish County Planning Commission which is instrumental in balancing the needs and desires of residents with the most satisfactory use of the lands over which the County has jurisdiction. It takes a patient, thoughtful person to juggle the needs of developers against environmentalists, of residents who value the “rural” lifestyle against those who want more urban amenities closer to their homes. Ken is the kind of person, while not being able to satisfy everybody all the time, is able to calmly explain the issue at hand and the pieces of law, local, state and federal which may be impacting the planning commission’s decisions. Upon graduation he chose Arlington as his home, knowing how much it meant to him to grow up in Arlington, to his family to remain nearby and then upon his marriage, to raise his own children in the same environment he had benefited so much from as a child. Ken is a straight talker who has no personal agenda other than to be of service to his community. He is dependable and knowledgeable about not just how Arlington needs to move forward prosperously, but how Arlington fits into a larger Snohomish County. Please vote for Ken Klein for Arlington City Council. Catherine Paxton Arlington

Leadership that listens “Leadership that listens.” That is the slogan on Jon Nehring’s political campaign signs. It is unfortunate that it is all too common for our political leaders of today to make promises and slogans that are nothing but that; slogans. Fortunately for the

citizens of Marysville, our mayor does more than just make slogans. He actually does what the slogans say. The Mayor has sat down with members of Marysville Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 3219 on multiple occasions. He told our members that he had an “Open Door Policy” and encouraged each of us to contact him at any time with questions and concerns. On each occasion he has listened to our concerns related to the safety and well-being of Marysville’s citizens. He has made Public Safety his number-one priority as mayor. He demonstrated this to our members when he asked for our endorsement and continues to demonstrate this to us in our discussions. When told that our Local had serious concerns over issues of Public Safety, he found ways to educate himself on the issues. He has worked to improve communications between the Fire Administration, the Fire District Board of Directors, the City Council and his office. Our citizens probably haven’t seen or felt any of the effects of his work at this level, but the positive impacts on their safety are apparent to all of us in the Professional Firefighter’s Local. Jon Nehring has worked to improve revenues for the city and at the same time has been a part of finding ways to balance the budget and has used conservative spending to continue to provide services to the citizens of Marysville. He has shown us that he is interested in forming important relationships with individuals and groups who can help him be more effective in guiding Marysville through these difficult economic times. This is a person who has longterm goals for the city and is energetic and dynamic enough to see those goals to their end successes. “Leadership that listens” is a simple enough slogan but Mayor Jon Nehring has

turned that slogan into a guiding principal in his role as Marysville’s mayor. This is why Marysville’s Professional Firefighters have fully endorsed Jon Nehring in this election and why we encourage the citizens of Marysville to vote for him in November. Dan Schwartz Marysville

Our current Mayor Jon Nehring has served Marysville extremely well over the past 10 years, as a City Councilmember for over 8 of those years, and most recently as Mayor since August of 2010. He has worked hard on behalf of the citizens of Marysville over that time as a public official, volunteer, and active community member. With so many cities facing budget crises it is good to see that Marysville is in a financially stable position despite the continued economic downturn. This does not happen by accident but comes from responsible leadership, skilled financial management, and sound budgeting.

Support Barb Tolbert for Mayor Arlington faces new challenges and new realities in our current economic climate, the breadth of which demand experienced team leadership. Honest and straightforward communication, coupled with the ability to maximize the strengths of every member of a team, is critical to making difficult but smart and effective decisions in our municipal government. I had the pleasure of partnering with Barb Tolbert, members of Arlington Fire Department Local 3728, and several outstanding community volunteers during the Arlington Yes on EMS campaign last spring. A great deal was at stake

for Arlington’s public safety with paramedic services being at risk of underfunding and dangerous cuts. Barb led the charge as we trained volunteers, rallied fundraisers, communicated with voters about what was at stake, and passed the paramedic services levy by an outstanding 84 percent. What I most admire about Barb is her ability to draw people together and ensure that everyone can contribute in a meaningful way to a common cause. During the EMS Levy campaign, Barb diligently networked with Arlington citizens to invite them to join the cause, then helped us play to our own strengths and worked in the background to keep all the parts moving smoothly. While her work was absolutely integral to the passage of the levy, she never boasted about her good work but instead pointed to the collective success brought about through team work and community building. As mayor, Barb Tolbert will treat our community with integrity while tackling tough issues and bringing people together. I hope you’ll join me in supporting her with your vote this November.

Always a free spirit seeking new challenges for his mind and new tasks for his hands, Jim began working in the building trades. His intelligence, efficiency, and quality workmanship became well known. Moving to Arlington in 1980, while building milking parlors and barns, he also began keeping bees as a hobby. Jim’s passion for beekeeping and the honey business eventually developed into the creation of Oso Honey Company.

In October 1984 Jim married Yvonne Ellis, and became stepfather to Yvette, Donald and Jodey. In July of 2000, Jim and Yvonne adopted beloved son, Elijah. Jim was preceded in death by brothers John and Richard, parents, Aunt Rose and dear friends Vern and Alice Hackett. He is survived by his wife, 11 children, 25 grandchildren, 4 greatgrandchildren, 4 sisters and 5 brothers. He was an incredible teacher and a loyal friend. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him. The Funeral, followed by a Celebration of Jim’s life will be at 11:30am on Friday, October 14, 2011 at Peace Lutheran Church; 1717 Larson Rd; Silvana, WA 98287.

M-P, Getchell battle Oak Harbor in the pool BY JAKE MCNEAL

jmcneal@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell, who usually compete as a tandem unit in girls’ swimming until this year, faced each other as well as host Oak Harbor Wildcats at Oak Harbor’s Vanderzicht Memorial Pool on Oct. 3. The Wildcats won 10 of 12 events in the meet, beating Pilchuck 140-39 and

edging Getchell 137-44. Getchell grabbed the other two events but Pilchuck won its overall matchup against Getchell because of its higher average finish, 94-81. There is certainly promise in both Marysville teams’ performances. “Pilchuck had more woman power, so therefore their scores are stronger. These scores are a reflection of what a young team we have,” Pilchuck and Getchell

coach Jaci Legore-Hodgins said. “(Pilchuck’s) Karoline (Schaufler) and (Getchell’s) Rachel (Hartmeyer) found a tempo that was a great sprint speed for them. Now we’re in the speed phase of the season, where we’ve been an endurance team until now. Look at the 100 Butterfly, we only lost by 17 hundredths of a second. We won the backstroke won by 34 hundredths.” Oak Harbor’s A, B and C Relay teams finished first,

second and third respectively in the 200-Meter Medley over Pilchuck in the first event. Pilchuck’s A, B and C teams took fourth, fifth and sixth. The Wildcats posted a similar result in the 200Meter Freestyle as three Oak Harbor swimmers took the top three spots. Getchell and Pilchuck swimmers alternated from fourth to seventh. Ciara Hu of Oak Harbor won the 200-Meter Individual Medley, followed three seconds later by Hartmeyer and third by Pilchuck’s Schaufler five seconds later. The Wildcats finished first, second and third in the 50-Meter Freestyle, followed by Getchell’s Jordan Kercheval and Pilchuck’s Madison Pfeil. Getchell broke through in 1-Meter Diving as Courtney Moss won with a final score of 161.75. Pilchuck’s Cherish Broker placed third with 118.80. Schaufler came second in the 100-Meter Butterfly behind Oak Harbor’s Hu. It was another one-twothree finish for Oak Harbor in the 100-Meter Freestyle.

Kercheval placed third in the 400-Meter Freestyle behind two Oak Harbor swimmers. Oak Harbor secured the 200-Meter Freestyle Relay, but Getchell’s squad of Hartmeyer, Emma Beauchamp, Kercheval and Lia Mullen-Gaffney placed second. Pilchuck’s team of Mohr, Lydia Strough, Pfeil and Schaufler finished

third. Hartmeyer won the 100Meter Backstroke, trailed in second and third by Oak Harbor. The Wildcats continued their winning ways in the 100-Meter Breaststroke by taking the top three spots once again. Getchell’s unit of Kercheval, Mullen-Gaffney, Beauchamp and Hartmeyer finished the meet by placing third in the 400-Meter Freestyle Relay.

Local jet skiers bring home the gold BY JAKE MCNEAL

jmcneal@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKE CHELAN — An 11-year-old Marysville boy and his mother brought home the gold on Sept. 24 and 25 from 2011’s final Pacific Northwest Watercross race. Nathan Clements took first place in the Junior Ski class for both the weekend Lake Chelan Jet Fest event and the 2011 season tour. Calling racing “awesome,” Clements won the Junior Ski Lites event with 120 points, enough to tie Olivia Harnack of Riverside, Wash., for the season points lead, and won the title in the tiebreaker as the highest scorer in the most recent event. Harnack, who spends part of the year in Michigan, had returned to school there and was unable to compete. “Nathan’s always been competitive very athletic from seeing his mom do it. He’s fearless — he was on one of the fastest skis in the race and he didn’t fall off. Racing with the big boys excit-

ed him,” said Nathan’s mother, Angela Clements, who dominated in the Women’s Novice runabout class for the weekend but came up short in the season points chase. “I’m excited to think I contributed to the future of the sport.” Angela Clements out-ran Jen Effrig of East Wenatchee, Wash., winning all four events. The two collided in the second on Saturday afternoon, leaving Effrig with a bruised and swollen leg. Effrig returned to the start line Sunday, but Angela Clements hit the water at full-throttle and cruised to an easy first-place finish. Though impressive, Angela Clements’ victories were not enough to take the points series title for the 2011 season. Effrig finished the Women’s Novice Runabout with 332 points to Angela Clements’ 240. “The course was very tight, so it was more Courtesy Photo difficult than other ones I’ve raced in before,” Angela said. “But it feels like family going out Nathan Clements, 11, of Marysville, takes the last buoy on Lake Chelan en route to a there with the more people I meet.” 2011 season watercross championship title.

Rampage helps Marysville Community Food Bank BY JAKE MCNEAL

jmcneal@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Washington Rampage of the American Basketball Association are a month from the start of their inaugural season. Kinshasa Martin, owner of the Rampage, wants you to be involved. Martin used to watch the Everett Explosion, founded in Everett in 2006 but now in Monroe, and saw that they built a foundation for minor league basketball in the state of Washington. He wants his team to make a difference for fans everywhere. “It’s always been a dream of mine,” Martin said. “I see how people in the community support their sports, but I don’t see the sports giving back. If we come along and give both, then we’re bound for success.” Rampage point guard Ryan “The General” Webb played varsity basketball at Montlake Terrace High School before starting for four years at Seattle University. Head coach Chuck Fraine, who has known Webb for several years, runs a triangle offense featuring pick-androlls. Both volunteer at the Marysville Community Food Bank on 88th Street NE. “I’ve played ball against Ryan since we were in second grade,” said Fraine, who hails from Monroe and preaches hardnosed defense to match Marysville’s blue-collar atmosphere. “We grew up in the same neighborhood, we were rivals in high school, and now he’s playing for me and calling me coach — I can’t be more than a month or two older than him, and there are guys on the team older than me. I don’t have to train them, I just have to get them to make better decisions.” Former Washington State University quarterback Gary Rogers will sign as the team’s power forward to join Webb and small forward Leigh Swanson as “The Rampage Three.” Martin’s first order of business is to introduce the Rampage to the community for whom they play. Opening night, 7 p.m. on Nov. 12 at Totem Middle School, will be Military Night when the Rampage will honor military personnel for their game

against the I-5 rival Seattle Mountaineers, for whom Webb played for about a week in 2010. Former Seattle Supersonics star Shawn Kemp has also been invited. The Rampage will play their games at the Marysville Boys and Girls Club, but will make an appearance before then at Grocery Outlet in Marysville on Nov. 5 to collect toys on behalf of Toys for Tots with Octaviana Martin, Kinshasa’s daughter and duchess of the Regal Majesty Pageant. The Rampage will host a Marysville Basketball Invitational, sponsored by Marysville Awards and Gifts, on Nov. 18 and 19,

Marysville’s first-ever pro basketball invitational. Marysville Awards and Gifts will present trophies for the top player of each game and of the tournament, as well as the championship trophy. Proceeds from the event will go to Toys for Tots and the Food Bank. Admission to the tournament costs $3 and a toy or $3 and three cans of food. In addition, $3, a toy and three cans of food buys admission for both days. “I’m a firm believer that if you give, the community gives back,” Martin said. “From the owner down to the last person who has anything to do with the organization, that’s what we’re about.”

ACTIVE FROM PAGE 1 beyond that.” Fallihee and Perkins both

cited research which has linked increased athletic activity to improved academic performance. “When kids are healthier

and more active, they’re getting more oxygen to their brains,” Fallihee said. “Studies have shown this helps them do better on standardized

tests.” “In my classes, whenever my students have been sitting for a while, we stop whatever else we’ve been doing, get up

and engage in about three minutes of physical activity,” Perkins said. “You can see such a sharp uptick in their ability to work and learn that it’s like they’ve just started the day again. There’s so much of a connection between physical and mental activity.” As Pinewood students bounced balls, lifted weights, practiced calisthenics and raced through step-aerobics on Oct. 4, fourth-grade workout partners Maddy Grandbois and Trinity Watts explained the appeal of the program to them. “It’s the most funnest activity at school,” Grandbois said. “You can just come and have fun. My favorite part is the weights.” “I like exercising,” said Watts, who finds the balancing boards challenging but enjoyable. “It really gets you moving.” Fifth-grade workout partners Collin Black and Connor Peterson both turned out for the program because they’re aiming to develop as athletes all around.

“I already play lots of sports, so I want to get better at them,” Peterson said. “I play football and I love running,” Black said. “I like that, by working out after school, I’m getting even stronger.” This fall session of afterschool athletics at Pinewood is only slated to last six weeks, but Fallihee and Perkins expect it to return in the spring. “If you don’t have good health, it doesn’t much matter what else is going on in your life,” Perkins said. “Who we’re really hoping to reach with this are the kids who aren’t already good at athletics. If a kid doesn’t consider themselves a runner, it’s a real victory when they can finish jogging a full mile. We want every kid to be able to identify themselves as a capable athlete. The Marysville community has already made great strides in emphasizing health and fitness, so we’re happy to be part of that.”

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion. Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isn’t that the whole point of religion? Let’s talk about it. 360-939-2080

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.

Q: My brother and I are concerned for our mother. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 87 and keeps falling. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Jennifer Dennis researching the falls with the family doctor and all Executive Director agree that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like a professional to monitor her blood pressure. If she falls again weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to look into assisted living. Any advice? A:

Please do not wait! So often, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet folks who wait to explore retirement and/or assisted living until there is a catastrophe at home. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re visiting with your medical professionals. Get out the â&#x20AC;&#x153;to doâ&#x20AC;? list and add visiting Grandview Village. Looking now will give you a better idea of the programs, assisted living services, meal selection and amenities you prefer. Exploring these options in the middle of some of your most stressful days adds to the stress. No one wants that! Give us a call.
