MARYSVILLE — A park project begun last year has continued to benefit from the annual National Day of Service and Remembrance. This year’s Day of Service for Marysville returned to the Doleshel Tree Farm Park, located just east of Kellogg Marsh Elementary, on Saturday, Sept. 15. Bruce Paquette, who helped organize the effort for the Marysville Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, explained that the Church is once again sponsoring the project, but commended both the city and surrounding community of Marysville for making their progress possible over the past two years at that site. “There’s 11 acres total on this property, and we’ll have

cleared out and cleaned up everything but two or three acres this year,” said Paquette, who estimated that nearly 150 volunteers from the Church and the surrounding community alike took part in trimming tree branches, up to six or seven feet high for safety and visibility reasons, as well as removing invasive weeds and blackberries, while city of Marysville Parks Department employees supervised the day’s labors and loaded deadwood into their chipper, to turn it into mulch for trails and landscaping. “It’s been real muscle-work, but next time, aside from that remaining northwest corner, we’ll be able to focus more on easier upkeep.” Lake Stevens’ Ward Isom, president of the Sno-Isle 9/12 Project, brought at least SEE SERVICE, PAGE 2

Marysville Fire Capt. Chip Kruse plays “Taps” on his bugle during the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and the passing of Marysville Fire Lt. Jeff Thornton, at the Police and Firefighters’ Memorial in front of the Marysville Library.

MARYSVILLE — The 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks was marked by ceremony and introspection at the Police and Firefighters’ Memorial in front of the Marysville Library. Greg Kanehen, pastor of the Marysville Free Methodist Church and chaplain for the Marysville Police Department and Fire District, offered an opening invocation after the Marysville Fire District Color Guard had lined up in front of the memorial at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11 of this year. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring delivered the ceremony’s main speech, reflecting on how quickly time seems

to have passed in the intervening 11 years since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93, while also noting how that day dealt an even more personal loss to the Marysville community. “My son is 12 years old now,” Nehring said. “He has no recollection of the events of that day. He’s learned of its significance through academic studies and stories told to him by his teachers and other elders. He’s part of a generation that didn’t experience those events the way we did. We remember exactly what we were doing when we found out about the attacks.” Nehring acknowledged that the closest experience to which he could SEE 9/11, PAGE 2

ers, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers. It’s said that a true friend is someone who walks in when others are walking out, and those first responders streamed in with no thought of the danger to themselves.” With the extended wars that have followed in the wake of that day, Nehring urged the Marysville community to recognize and support its local service members and veterans, as well as their families, in the midst of their ongoing struggles. “Our military personnel have given up so much,” Nehring said. “Many have been injured or given their lives. You’ve shown that you want to remember, and you can do so by keeping their stories and history alive and well. With as busy as our lives are, between phones and computers and email, it’s rare that we can take a few moments to sit and think.” After Marysville Fire Capt. Matt Campbell rang the bell at the memorial at 8:48 a.m., in honor of Thornton and the first responders who perished in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Marysville Fire Capt. Chip Kruse played “Taps” on his bugle and Snohomish County Fire

“He held the family together and was a leader in everything he did.” Jerry Thornton Sr. Father of Jeff Thornton District 1 firefighter Jhar Fuller played “Amazing Grace” on his bagpipes. Jerry Thornton Sr., father of Jeff Thornton, smiled as he saw the fire truck plaque bearing his son’s name, and voiced his gratitude to the community for their continued support of Jeff ’s memory. “He was the able A-dog of the family, the oldest with four younger brothers,” Jerry Thornton Sr. said. “He held the family together and was a leader in everything he did.” Among Jeff ’s achievements that Jerry Sr. recalled were taking his team to the 40-and-over championships in the 1999 Senior World Series, being among the first groups of firefighters to climb the Columbia Tower in the early 1990s and being inducted into the Hall of Fame of Foster High School in Tukwila, Jeff ’s old alma mater. “This fire department is so much a part of our family,” Jerry Thornton Sr. said.

SERVICE FROM PAGE 1 half a dozen of the group’s members out to the Doleshel Tree Farm Park, while Marysville’s Danyon Heacock, who was named a city Volunteer of the Month for his Eagle Scout project to build a bridge across Allen Creek on the property during last year’s Day of Service, returned to paint the bridge this year, with friends and family members grabbing brushes as well. “I remember when this was still a tree farm, back when I used to live in Marysville,” said Isom, whose machete made short work of the blackberry brambles blocking the view of Allen Creek. “It’s my first time out here since then, but I’m glad to help make a dent for a worthwhile cause.” “I’m really surprised by how much other people have helped this bridge stay nice between when we built it and now, so we could just sweep it up a bit before we started,” said Heacock, who thanked community members for donating supplies to finish touching up the bridge, and credited the community as a whole for inspiring the idea of a bridge across Allen Creek at that site in the first place. “Government doesn’t have the resources to get projects like this done anymore, but without their expertise, we couldn’t have done it either,” said Paquette, whose praise for the city of Marysville’s government and employees singled out Mike Robinson, the city’s parks maintenance manager. “Mike is just great. The city’s lucky to have him. The city as a whole has really impressed us through this partnership. We’d like to see other churches and volunteer organizations out here next year, so we can pool our resources to make this a beautiful park. Level out the potholes, and these grounds would be a kid’s dream to run around in.”

Danyon Heacock, left, and his brother Eben return to the Doleshel Tree Farm Park, for this year’s National Day of Service and Remembrance on Sept. 15, to paint the bridge that was Danyon’s Eagle Scout project last year. Robinson acknowledged that, if not for such partnerships between the city and the community, projects such as the Doleshel Tree Farm Park simply would not get done at all due to the lack of capital projects funds or spare manpower during the ongoing down economy. “Every year, this church and its volunteers come to these Days of Service highly motivated and organized,” Robinson said. “In many regards, they’ve basically adopted this site, for which we’re grateful. We bought this property with conservation dollars, so it’s important that we move forward on it. It’s a bit rough around the edges, and it’s still not safe to open to the public just yet, but it’s a great site.” “The whole point of the Day of Service was to do something that would make a statement, in the wake of 9/11,” Paquette said. “This is healthy and productive, and it shows that nobody can take the community spirit away from our nation. Not on my watch.”

compare that day was Dec. 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, and he called upon the community to impart its understanding of Sept. 11, 2001 onto the generations to come. Nehring went on to thank the Marysville Fire District for organizing and the Police Department for participating in the annual Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony, and while he expressed his appreciation to the city of Everett for inviting the Marysville community to attend Everett’s ceremony later that same day, Nehring touted the value of maintaining a separate ceremony for the Marysville community, since Sept. 11, 2001, is also the day that Marysville Fire Lt. Jeff Thornton lost his life to cancer. “His family is here today, and by coming out here today, the Marysville community continues to show that it stands with his family in their loss,” said Nehring, who pointed out that one of the Marysville Fire District’s restored trucks now bears a plaque in honor of Thornton on its front grill. “Of the 2,977 victims of Sept. 11, many were first respond-

Odor volunteers needed in PSCAA study

lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency is looking for members of the community to volunteer for a year-long odor monitoring study and hosted an open house discussing the project on Sept. 12 at the Marysville Boys & Girls Club. The open house followed a series of public meetings, hosted by several different organizations, surrounding ongoing complaints of a bad odor that many believe is emanating from the Cedar Grove Composting facility. The PSCAA will be using electronic noses developed by a company called Odotech to gather information about odors from potential odor sources in the region, including the Cedar Grove facility. “Each source will be considered. There are no odor sources in the area that won’t be considered,” said PSCAA executive director Craig Kenworthy. “This study is going to put these e-noses out to look for chemical fingerprints.” The PSCAA is responsible for monitoring air quality in the region, but enforcing it can be difficult. “We’ve had ongoing enforcement efforts in the area for the last several years,” said

Kenworthy. “One of the challenges is that when we write up violations, an inspector has to be able to say, ‘I was here, I smelled this odor’ and then travel with it back to source.” Odotech CEO Thierry Pagé, explained during the open house how the electronic noses (e-noses) are used to track odors, including how they are calibrated to detect a singular chemical compound. He also explained why the study requires help from community members. “The human genome has 1,000 genes for smelling,” he said. “There are more odor sources in this region than there are e-noses so we will focus on the most likely sources, but we rely on community input.” Some community members have expressed concern over the decision by the PSCAA to use technology by Odotech in their independent study, as Odotech also provides electronic noses to Cedar Grove for their own selfmonitoring. “We’ve gotten complaints from the city of Marysville and Tulalip and my response is that the e-nose technology is fairly recent,” said Kenworthy. “We’ve looked high and low for another company that provides this technology. If we could find someone with the same

technology, without any knowledge of us or Cedar Grove or the state of Washington, we would choose them.” Meanwhile, Cedar Grove is supportive of the study and echoes their statement about Odotech. “Cedar Grove had nothing to do with the process of how they selected their vendors,” said Karen Dawson, community outreach director for Cedar Grove. “I think this meeting was a comprehensive presentation about how this process will go. The next step is getting geographically diverse volunteers.” Dawson hopes that the study will provide an independent voice in the ongoing clash between Cedar Grove and those who blame the company for the smell. “Cedar Grove’s voice has been missing from this conversation for a while,” said Dawson. “This study will give us the opportunity to visit and resolve the issues. We are a family-owned company and a leader in the industry. A lot of people forget that we are providing green jobs, donating to both Marysville and Everett communities, and ultimately diverting waste from landfills and reducing greenhouse gases.” Many who attended the open house signed on to volunteer as odor monitors, including Marysville

Odotech CEO Thierry Pagé answers questions on the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency’s upcoming odor monitoring project, during an open house at the Marysville Boys & Girls Club on Sept. 12. resident Tony Saluewicz. “The sour smell has been here ever since I moved to Marysville six years ago,” he said. “A few years ago we were forced from our house because it was so bad.” Saluewicz and his wife believe that the odor comes from the Cedar Grove facility. “When you drive by there on the flats, the smell is right there,” said Janice Saluewicz, who hopes that the outcome of the study would be

to eliminate the bad odor. “Ideally, it would be to stop the darn smell, but you can’t stop the smell unless you are able to technologically point the finger at the source,” she said. “The odor is really unfair to the citizens of Marysville who can’t go outside and enjoy their own community.” Anyone interested in volunteering for the odor monitoring project can email Joanne Todd at joannet@pscleanair.com.

Going pink to raise breast cancer awareness

ive years ago, my cousin Sylvia, whom I’m very close to, was diagnosed with Stage 3A breast C. PAUL cancer. In her case, the cancer spread to BROWN auxiliary lymph nodes which resulted in a double radical mastectomy. Today, PUBLISHER through aggressive treatment and superior support and care, Sylvia is cancer free and has joined the ranks of the proud and grateful survivors of this insidious disease. Breast cancer will affect nearly all of us over the course of our lifetime. I conducted an informal and admittedly unscientific poll of my friends, family and neighbors. I asked if they had friends, co-workers or loved ones who have had breast cancer. My unscientific poll revealed that almost everyone with whom I spoke indicated they do know someone or have a family member or friend that has been affected by some form of breast cancer. Breast Cancer was the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Snohomish County from 2001 through 2005 with about 556 new cases occurring each year. More than 960 women died of breast cancer during this period. But the rate of mortality from breast cancer decreased from 32 deaths per 100,000 women in 1992 to 22 deaths per 100,000 in 2006. The combination of decreasing death rates with rising incidence rates has resulted mainly from improved screening. Better screening means that cancers are caught at an earlier, more treatable stage of development. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. The management and staff at The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times are partnering with a local women’s health care program to spread the word about this treatable but sometimes fatal disease. It is our goal at The Globe and The Times to help provide the citizens of our communities with an awareness of the need for routine screening, self breast examinations and available help and support at the local level. Part of our mission is to provide hope and support to breast cancer patients and their families and friends through our printed publications, our websites and our partnership in our communities. To that end, a portion of the ad sales from our local businesses who advertise in our Oct. 10 edition will be donated back to a woman’s health program in our communities. I would like to invite our readers to look for our “pink” expanded editions of The Globe and The Times that will be distributed Oct. 10. There, you will find helpful available local resources regarding breast cancer, informative articles and inspirational stories from community members who have personal experiences with the disease. For local businesses and organizations that would like to advertise in this special “pink” edition, feel free to call our office at 360-659-1300. Please join me and the staff at The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times and our partners in the community to educate ourselves and our loved ones that there is hope for a cure of breast cancer.

Tenth Street School and the rumor mill

eattle’s KIRO reported that Marysville’s Tenth Street Middle School “Goes all iPad.” Like most absolute statements, going ALL iPad may have stretched reality a bit. And in stretching reality, KIRO delivered new grist for the community’s rumor mill. Critics with raised eyebrows asked, no books? Since every taxpaying citizen shares memories of a time when the answer to every test question was found in a book, they can’t be other than suspicious of the iPad announcement. Or downright hostile. The heat was such that one could almost imagine wild-eyed teachers feeding a midnight bonfire with textbooks while irate villagers descended on them brandishing torches and pitchforks. During my visit to Tenth Street School I found a brand new set of textbooks racked up on a counter for processing. So KIRO’s suggested end of textbooks was a bit over the top. Tenth Street’s staff isn’t about to lump book-reading in with textmessaging during class. They share every reader’s appreciation for books as indispensable to the imaginative, creative and intellectual mind, including e-books. They also recognize that the universe of good internet material has leaped ahead of what any school can provide in the way of print-resources. That includes school libraries. In fact, accessing the web with iPads is a practical way to connect students with a more vast resource base than all the print-books in the Library of Congress. The opportunity is so huge and timely that it would be irresponsible for educators to let it pass by. If a worry still exists that books and reading will be forsaken, fear not. An iPad can store more books than the average student will read in a lifetime. It can contain and display searchable textbooks, newspaper subscriptions and breaking news. And a lot of garbage too, but the bad

stuff can’t be much worse than some of this fall’s TV offerings. Though much of Public Education hasn’t fully awakened to the fact, the technology genie is out of the bottle. Information technology and web-based instruction have passed the trial and error phase. In medical terms, the Tenth Street experiment could be termed, beta testing. Tenth Street is one of eight schools in the state using iPad-type devices to determine just how effective webbased education might be. Tenth Street students are demonstrating how it can be put to work. Look to the staff for careful critiquing of results and mid-course corrections. Call it the Tenth Street Experiment. To the Marysville School District, it is a measured response conducted in a limited student population backed by solid support from parents. To the community, it is a test case to demonstrate advantages and disadvantages of a type of instruction that’s largely foreign to Marysville’s adult population. As reports on the effectiveness of the new program filter in, let’s hope that we get a balanced view of how electronic sources might benefit every school’s program. But what about the cost? When school budgets are cut to the bone, how could the school district justify a $300-$500 outlay for each Tenth Street student? Which opens another misunderstanding. It was the school’s boosters who raised enough money to make it possible and they didn’t stop with iPads. They recently raised $13,000 more for the math books mentioned above. Supportive parents sold cookies, organized a pledge-run and a fit-

ness fair. When school started, one hundred students showed up with parent-supplied iPads, allowing the fund to cover the remaining 80 with school-supplied devices. But worries still persist about accountability. More than any other faculty in the district, Tenth Street’s teachers are painfully aware of accountability. Since each supervises the education of the same children for three consecutive years, their desks might as well carry signs saying, THE BUCK STOPS HERE. Should one class not do well in math, there is one teacher responsible. That level of transparent responsibility leaves nowhere to hide. In other words, Tenth Street’s organizational structure commands top performance from teachers. iPads solved another issue, that of Washington State’s mandate that all students should achieve certain standards in information technology. Like every 180 student school, Tenth Street lacked the flexibility to plug a tech class into its schedule. So it opted to integrate computer technology into the existing program by using iPads. In so doing, hand-held computers deliver the full power of the internet to every student in every period in every classroom. Tenth Street isn’t so much closing the book on books as opening the promise of web-based instruction and information. The only other time when such a revolution in information technology took place was when Guttenberg invented the printing press. The newly hatched protestant movement took full advantage of it while the Church of Rome stuck to hand-penned documents. And that crippled its cause, a warning Tenth Street is heeding. Watch the performance of Tenth Street’s students. It may well be that we’re witnessing educational history in the making. Comments may be addressed to robertgraef@comcast.net.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville American Legion Post 178 hosted its annual flag retirement ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Jennings Park Pavilion. The group has been collecting unserviceable flags from community members in a red painted mailbox outside their building in Marysville. “Since we’ve had the box out there, this year alone we’ve had dozens of flags dropped off,” said Frank Thiel, Post 178 finance officer. For Thiel, properly retiring an American flag is a symbol of respect. “I am very respectful of our banner and it needs to be retired appropriately,” said Thiel, who said he doubts many people understand the routine for flag retirement. “Flags that are ready to be retired include those that are fading, fraying, tearing, have seams falling apart or grommets tearing away. I think that people probably have Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo no idea the right way to go about it.” Members of American Legion Post 178 perform a flag retireFor community members ment ceremony at Jennings Park Pavilion in Marysville on interested in retiring flags, Sept. 8.

thing is that we would like for people to be aware that we are here and we are more than happy to retire their flag.” Post 178 retired 55 flags on Sept. 8, but received almost double that amount in their flag drop box. They will retire the rest of the flags in another ceremony. One Marysville resident left a note on their flag describing who it was from and how long it had flown at their residence. “Our flag mailbox is there for anyone in the community to drop a flag, and if they want to, they can attach a little note telling us the history of it,” said Fort. The Marysville American Legion Post 178 is located at 119 Cedar Ave. in Marysville.

While they were burning the flags, they sang songs of national pride. “It’s important to pay your respects to the flag in the proper manner and at the same time try to raise public awareness that there is an actual ceremony to retire the flag,” said Post Cmdr. Jeremiah Fort. “You can’t just throw it away or burn it in any old fire.” Former Post Cmdr. Ken Cage echoed Fort’s thoughts on the purpose of proper flag retirement.

Marysville rivalry hits the tennis courts BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — For the first time ever, two Marysville varsity athletic programs in the 3A division went headto-head as Marysville Getchell High School’s tennis team competed against Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Sept. 10. The first ever competition between the two Marysville schools — now rivals — ended in a 7-0 victory for Marysville Getchell, an away game for them at Totem Middle School. “This is the first time these teams have ever played each other,” said Robert Sherry, head coach for MG. “Three or four of my players actually played on these courts as part of the M-P team.” Last year was the inaugural year for varsity athletics at Marysville Getchell, and a lot of it was building up talent from a fractured group. “The good news is double the number of kids have the opportunity to play at the varsity level,” said Randy Davis, head coach for M-P. “The bad news is that we are essentially splitting the team in half.” Although 2011 marked the first year of sports for MG, they still did not have a league rivalry with M-P, because the school remained classified as a 4A-sized school, despite a drop in enrollment numbers. This fall season is the first that the two Marysville schools face each other in league contests, with playoff

implications — and the tennis match was the first competition of the season. “This is really a bit of Marysville history in the making,” said Davis. Dividing the original Marysville team into two separate halves was a struggle for each, as they worked double trying to bring their skill back up to a competitive level. “It was difficult last year,” said Sherry. “When you have a split team, the talent is also split, so both teams were weak as a part of it. We were outmatched quite a bit last year, because everyone has to play at a higher ranking.” One benefit of having a tough first year is the level of knowledge that each player has gained — both about the game and themselves. “They’ve certainly got a lot of experience,” said Sherry, who had nine returning varsity players. One returning player is No. 1 singles Ryan Clausen, a junior. “He played some singles at No. 1 last year and it was really trial by fire but he hung with it pretty well,” said Sherry. Clausen, along with a few other Chargers tennis players, has grown a lot since last year. “I’ve got some players who have improved quite a bit,” said Sherry. M-P returned seven varsity players from last year. “Our No. 1 right now is Kurtis Brown, but I anticipate that it will be a rotating position,” said Davis. “Both Getchell and I are building our programs and when you play No. 1 in the high school circuit

you get beat up a lot.” For both teams, the goal is to finish higher than before. “We are just about getting kids to improve,” said Davis. “Both Robert and I agree that we are at the bottom of our respective leagues, so we are just trying to keep things positive.” M-P faced Monroe in their first contest of the year, and stole a 4-3 victory from the Bearcats. Their next match-up versus Shorecrest resulted in a 6-1 loss for the Tomahawks. “Those two teams were so dramatically at different ends of the tennis spectrum,” said Davis. “Monroe had no experience and we scrambled past them. But tennis is an economic sport and Shorecrest and a lot of the other schools to the south are club teams.” For both Davis and Sherry, building a strong tennis program at each school is the focus of the season. “These guys are actually really great as a group,” said Sherry. “They’ve come along together, they are supportive of each other.” Davis agreed. “I’m just hoping the kids stay positive and enjoy playing and keep trying to get better,” said Davis. “A lot of it is just knowing what to do and how to think when you’re on the court and that takes practice.” The Tomahawks face Oak Harbor in an away match on Sept. 19 at 3:30 p.m. The Chargers face Everett at home on Sept. 19 at 3:30 p.m.

Lakewood Cougars top Blaine 22-20 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

Cougars’ running back Donovan Evans scores his second touchdown of the night, catching a 20-yard pass from Kolby Schueller, against Blaine on Friday, Sept. 14.

LAKEWOOD — The Cougars’ record is now 3-0 for the season after an exciting end to their nonleague matchup against Blaine on Friday, Sept. 14 which left the scoreboard 22-20 in their favor. Lakewood started off strong in the first quarter, with quarterback Justin Peterson and running back Donovan Evans both scoring touchdowns. The Cougars out the Borderites in the second quarter. They were leading Blaine heading into half-time with a score of 15-0. It was in the beginning of the third quarter that things began to get worrisome for the Cougars, as Blaine’s star running back Mario Gobbato scored a touchdown with 7:55 on the clock in the third quarter, and tacked on a twopoint conversion. The Cougars’ offense kept going forward and Kolby Schueller threw a 20-yard pass to Evans at the 5-minute mark of the third quarter, with Evans scoring his second

touchdown of the night, bringing the score to 22-8 and maintaining that score going into the fourth quarter. Blaine battled back in the beginning of the fourth with an early touchdown and never let up the pressure, bringing the game down to the wire. Blaine’s Gobbato proved to be a force to be reckoned with and put significant pressure on the Cougars in the fourth quarter, including a final touchdown from three yards with no time on the clock, which brought the score up to 22-20. The mood was tense as the Borderites tried for a two point conversion, run by Gobbato, to tie the game, but the Cougars’ defense stopped him just inches from the end zone, and the crowd rushed the field when the final call gave the Cougars the victory. “It was intense,” said Lakewood head coach Dan Teeter, of the game’s final moments. “We wanted to get a score right before halftime so we could be three

touchdowns ahead of them and it would be tough for them to come back from that.” Teeter applauded the skill of Blaine’s team, saying they were a tough opponent. “Their defense was tough,” he said. “I have a lot of respect for them, they fought hard.” As far as his own team is concerned, Teeter said they played well and had some outstanding performances. “Justin Peterson scored the first touchdown and then Donovan Evans caught two touchdown passes, which was great. They both made big plays,” he said. Going into their next game against Archbishop Murphy — the team shouts, “Beat ‘em!” whenever the name is mentioned — Teeter said their going to have to look at some film and make game plan decisions from that. “Their defense isn’t much different from what we just saw tonight,” said Teeter. The Cougars face the Wildcats at home on Sept. 21 at 7 p.m.

Touch a Truck offers hands-on fun

by the Marysville Public Works Department and the Marysville Fire District. “All of the fire engines are a big draw,” said Kingsford. “Kids are fascinated by them. The armored tactical vehicle brought in by the police department is always a popular one as well.” Every truck had a number of children waiting in line to climb aboard. “Every single truck gets visited,” said Kingsford. “When families come by, they are just so excited to see what we have.” The city of Marysville is planning to host Touch a Truck again, on the first Saturday in September next year. For more information call the Parks and Recreation Department at 360-363-8400.

MARYSVILLE — Thousands of children put on hard hats, climbed into trucks and honked the horns of dozens of vehicles at the city of Marysville’s annual Touch a Truck event on Saturday, Sept. 8. Several city departments provided a total of 28 vehicles of all types and sizes — including fire engines, dump trucks, ice cream trucks, police patrol cars, school buses and more — at the free event, which ran from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Totem Middle School’s Asbery Field. “It was a huge success,” said Andrea Kingsford, recreation coordinator for Marysville’s Parks and Recreation Department. “It was a beautiful sunshiny day and people were really involved, which is great.” The event brought in more than 2,000 visitors, both old and new. “There are a few families I know that were there for the first time and said they absolutely loved it,” said Kingsford. “We came here last year,” said Libby Regonas, who brought her 3-year-old

daughter Sophie. “It’s really good, she has a good time.” Sophie Regonas jumped out of the driver’s seat of a backhoe and bounced up and down a few times in excitement. “It’s fun,” she said. “She likes to see the trucks and honk the horns,” laughed Libby Regonas. Other families have been attending the event for several years. “We’ve been here for the past four or five years,” said Rebecca Hall, who brought her son Travis. “He really likes the trucks, and it’s also nice to see the cop cars and ambulances up close.” Travis Hall, 9, said his favorite part of the day was playing in a bouncy house set up on the field. “But my favorite truck is the ice cream truck,” he said. Sarah Kinnear, of Marysville, has brought her family to Touch a Truck three years in a row. “Our son seems to really enjoy it,” she said. “This year, he really likes warning signs. He’s really interested in how things work.” Many children at the event donned hard hats and firefighter helmets, which were handed out

Level 3 sex offender alert issued in Arlington

ARLINGTON — A Level 3 sex offender alert has been issued for Mark Allen Kolberg of Arlington. Kolberg, whose aliases include Mark Allen Henry and Mark Allen Koberg, is a 34-year-old Caucasian man

with brown hair and blue eyes who stands 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighs 210 pounds and resides in the 15200 block of Jordan Road in Arlington. According to official documents, Kolberg pled guilty in Snohomish County Superior

Court on Dec. 4, 2001, to a single count of indecent liberties with forcible compulsion, for which he was convicted on Jan. 25, 2002, and sentenced to 60 months in prison. This conviction was the result of Kolberg sexually assaulting

a 19-year-old woman after he entered her bedroom while she was sleeping. Kolberg was attending a party at the victim’s residence, and the victim knew Kolberg casually as a friend of a family member. Kolberg completed the sex

offender treatment program while in prison, but his progress was limited. He will be on active supervision with the Marysville office of the state Department of Corrections, and living under a number of probation conditions.

Name: Ludwig Animal ID: 17118463 Breed: Abyssinian/Bengal Age: 9 years Gender: Male Color: Brown/Chocolate Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Ludwig is really the most beautiful boy. Ludwig is a senior statesman but still has lots and lots of energy. He loves his toys and loves to run around the house. He gets along with small dogs - not sure about large ones. He was recently paired up with a female cat and is doing well. They haven't interacted much with each other & stay on opposite ends of the kennel so far. When Ludwig's food or water dish is empty, he will let you know very loudly. Yes, he can be a talker!!

Name: Pee Wee Animal ID: 15915119 Breed: Pomeranian Age: Senior Gender: Male Color: Tan Spayed/Neutered: Yes

Pee-Wee came to the shelter when his owner died & has been in foster care. He is very smart, has learned to use a dog door & "sit" on command, is very friendly w/people & other dogs, no idea about cats. He had teeth removed so his little tongue hangs out & is so cute! He has a collapsed trachea that is not life threatening & cannot wear a collar but uses a mesh harness. Interested in adopting PeeWee? Please email fostereas@gmail.com.

All animals adopted from EAS are neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, wormed and treated for fleas. All cats are tested for FIV/FeLV.
