INDEX

MARYSVILLE — For Marysville’s Craig Bartl, this December marked his third in a row of participating in the “Night of 1,000 Stars” impaired-driving traffic safety emphasis patrols organized by Snohomish County and Washington state law enforcement. Although Bartl is a detective with the Marysville Police Department, he estimates that he’s continued to take part in dozens of such emphasis patrols within the past few years, and he even teaches other officers how to administer field sobriety tests. From the late evening of Friday, Dec. 14, to the early morning of Saturday, Dec. 15, Bartl joined fellow local police officers, Snohomish

County Sheriff ’s deputies and Washington State Patrol troopers in conducting the safety emphasis patrols which earned their name from the star badges worn by law enforcement agents on duty during those hours. Although Bartl is a selfdescribed “Christmas junkie” who enjoys listening to seasonal music on his car radio, his focus is on listening for calls during the “Night of 1,000 Stars,” because the winter holidays are typically one of his most active times for intercepting traffic violators. “Christmas and New Year’s, Superbowl Sunday, the Fourth of July, Labor Day weekend, pretty much any time there’s parties, we’re on alert,” Bartl said. “We want people to enjoy

MARYSVILLE — For the students of Totem Middle School, their annual food drive that ran from Dec. 3-14 this year had an added significance, since they were striving to support the surrounding community while struggling to cope with the loss of a longtime friend. Michele Sawyer, the community/family liaison for Totem Middle School, credited every homeroom class in the school with taking part and boosting the collection totals from an estimated 700 cans of food last year to 1,157 non-perishable items of

food this year. “A lot of that has to do with our Leadership kids,” Sawyer said. “They gathered up the food every morning and kept track of which classes were leading, in terms of food collected, because the classes who brought in the most food are getting donut and juice parties in the morning.” Totem Middle School eighthgraders Meghan Barger, Cydney Rembold-Hyde, Lindsay Gann and Jamila Bojang were among those Leadership students. While Rembold-Hyde found it a challenge to corral the daily SEE TOTEM, PAGE 2

POLICE FROM PAGE 1 themselves, but they just need to be smart after they have their fun.” Bartl’s heaviest year for DUIs was last December, when he picked up three drivers for alcohol. Among the warning signs he looks for are swerving between lanes and failing to signal, as well as speeding and driving after dark without lights on. “Some drivers will stop at a bar earlier in the day and not realize how late it is when they leave,” said Bartl, who follows the safety emphasis patrols’ standard operating procedure of making three contacts an hour with drivers, regardless of whether they appear impaired or not. “It’s not always about writing tickets. We also just want to let people know that we’re out and about.” Within his first hour of patrolling South Marysville, Bartl had already pulled over one driver for talking on their cell phone, another for exhibiting behavior that turned out to be the result of

anxiety from having a patrol car behind them, and a third for not having their seat belts secured. In all three instances, Bartl let the drivers off with verbal warnings. “We usually see more DUIs right after midnight, although they can obviously be earlier,” Bartl said, before handing out “Click It 2 Ride” scan-cards to the attendees of a party at the Marysville Opera House, so that they could catch cabs after their event concluded. “Regardless, we don’t profile people, we maintain consistent standards and we treat people with respect. I’ve been surprised by how many people have thanked me, even after I’ve given them citations, but that’s part of teaching them.” At the same time that Bartl aims to educate the public on DUIs, he emphasized that he and his fellow Marysville Police officers take DUIs seriously. “We believe that DUI collisions are crimes just like person-to-person crimes and felony crimes,” Bartl said. “I do this because of the people who have lost loved ones to

impaired drivers.” Tracy McMillan, the Target Zero manager for the Snohomish County Traffic Safety Task Force, informed law enforcement agents who went out on the “Night of 1,000 Stars” patrols that evening that 53 percent of all Snohomish County traffic fatalities over the course of the past five years have been drug or alcohol related. “What we tell people who have been pulled over for DUI is that the difference between them and someone in prison is that they haven’t killed anyone yet,” said McMillan, who cited statistics showing that impaired drivers are estimated to have driven impaired about 80 times before their first arrests. “Thanks to officers like you, our death rates on the road are lower, and we couldn’t be more proud.” These special overtime DUI and Target Zero emphasis patrols are paid for by a special grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, whose goal is to reduce traffic deaths and disabling injuries to zero by the year 2030.

totals of food collected from each of the classrooms, Gann laughed as she deemed actually lifting the food to be the hardest part of the collection drive. Bojang believes the contest aspect of the food drive generated greater totals of donations, while Barger found it challenging to enlist as many participants as possible. One stumbling block unique to this year, which no one saw coming, was the Dec. 12 passing of Brian McCutchen, at the age of 44, after suffering a brain aneurism on Dec. 11 from which he never recovered. McCutchen served as head office manager at Totem Middle School for all five years that he was there, and Principal Robert Kalahan described him as irreplaceable. “Before that, he was a bank manager at several banks, including Wells Fargo,” Kalahan said. “When I first interviewed him for the job here, I recognized him immediately but I didn’t know where from until I remembered that he’d been my banker and had helped me set up accounts for my kids. I even asked him what he was doing leaving banking and he told me his heart wasn’t in it because he wanted to affect changes in the lives of children.” Kalahan praised McCutchen for bringing excellent managerial and customer service skills to Totem Middle School, and echoed Sawyer’s opinion that the students felt McCutchen’s loss so strongly because he’d developed such close bonds with them. “It really threw them for a loop to lose Mr. McCutchen, especially in the midst of already running their food drive,” Sawyer said. “They’ve had to keep their spirits up.” “The kids came to Brian with their problems because they knew him, and he would check up on them,” Kalahan said. “We had students who kept coming to school because they knew Brian would be here.” Nearly 100 students visited Harborview Medical Center when McCutchen was moved there on the evening of Dec. 11, many of them football players who McCutchen as an assistant coach at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, and the

“It’s been heartbreaking. Everybody loved him. He was a good man who was always helping others.” Cydney Rembold-Hyde Totem Middle School student students of Totem Middle School dedicated their food drive in his honor. “It’s been heartbreaking,” Rembold-Hyde said. “Everybody loved him. He was a good man who was always helping others.” “It’s been really hard to let go of him with people crying all around,” said Barger, who nonetheless agreed with her peers that they’re proud the food drive in McCutchen’s honor will help others have a happier holiday season. “It lets us give back to the community that’s given so much to us,” Bojang said. Those who wish to help out McCutchen’s surviving family can donate to BECU’s “Marcus and Jasmine McCutchen Fund,” or to the Schaefer-Shipman Funeral Home to cover his burial expenses.

Vandals slash tires in Marysville Rasmussen to step down from kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Nearly two weeks later, Marysville police are still investigating an unprecedented number of tire slashings that occurred overnight sometime between the late evening of Thursday, Dec. 6, and the early morning of Friday, Dec. 7, according to Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux. “We’re estimating that between 140-160 cars got hit since we’ve already received 911 calls for 132 vehicles and we know that some people will simply choose not to report that their own cars’ tires got slashed,” Lamoureux said. Lamoureux identified the central Marysville area roughly around Cascade Elementary as the main cluster of the attacks, and admitted that, as of Friday, Dec. 14, the Marysville Police Department still had no suspects in this investigation. “At this point, we’re hoping for a tip from a citizen that might give us something to go on,” said Lamoureux, who noted that crime analysis is being applied to the investigation. “Whether it’s security camera footage or anything suspicious at all, even if you

don’t think it will help, it could prove key to resolving this investigation.” In the meantime, Marysville tire stores such as Formula Tire on 9229 State Ave. reported brisk trade on the morning of Dec. 7, so much so that they struggled to meet the demand for replacement tires. “We’ve had to order a lot of tires that we don’t have in stock, because they’re newer models of tires that shouldn’t be worn out yet,” said Marcus Sampson, manager of Formula Tire

in Marysville. “You should inspect all the tires on your car carefully, because if a razor gets run along the side of a tire, it might not go through all the way, but it can still blow out when you’re on the road, which would be bad news if you’re on the freeway going 70 miles an hour.” Both Sampson and Lamoureux lamented not only the crime itself, but also the fact that it was committed when so many people need their cars to conduct pressing holiday errands.

Crime analysis by the Marysville Police Department has identified the clusters of tire slashings that were reported on the morning of Dec. 6, but the suspects remain at large.

Marysville City Council

MARYSVILLE — City Councilmember Carmen Rasmussen announced that she is resigning her position on the Council effective Dec. 31 because she is moving outside of city limits. “I have greatly enjoyed the time I have spent on the Council, and will always cherish the fond memories I have of my colleagues and friends in the city,” said Rasmussen. “I am proud of the work that we have done in Marysville and I am glad for the chance to have made a difference in this community.” Mayor Jon Nehring said that Marysville is losing a strong advocate for parks and recreation, public safety and community engagement. “Carmen has a true passion for this community and provided a valuable perspective to our City Council,” said Nehring. “She will be greatly missed and leaves a legacy of community service.” Rasmussen was appointed to the Council in December 2005 to fill a vacancy, and was then subsequently elect-

ed to the Council in January 2008 and November 2011. She served on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, chaired the Marysville Fire District Board of Directors, and also served on the Cable TV Advisory Committee, Government Affairs Committee and Marysville Healthy Communities Leadership Committee. Legacies of Rasmussen’s policy decisions while serving on the Council are visible around the community today, including State Avenue improvements; Ingraham Boulevard; 156th Street I-5 overpass, Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park and plenty of additional parks and walking trails; the Healthy Communities initiative; a retail boom and more robust sales tax base; and a strong partnership with the Tulalip Tribes. Stepping down from the Council became necessary when her husband, Darin, a Lieutenant and 22-year veteran in the Marysville Police Department, accepted the position of Assistant

It’s a half century old, and I just used it to check spelling on one of the above words, reliving a happy time as I did so. Nadine and I wore the same perfect lipstick, Rain Kissed Rose from Avon. We bought all we could when they discontinued it, but the hoards dwindled away. Ten years and 1,500 miles away, she scored one tube. And sent it to me for Christmas. I lingered over the colorful, handmade garden stakes in the craft shop next to the veterinarian’s. A bird, bee, caterpillar and butterfly, they were $1.50 apiece. I was currently unemployed and in that day of 29-cent milk and 49-cent gasoline, a buck fifty wasn’t to be sneezed at. On a summer Tuesday I lumbered to the kitchen, lured by the smell of my disabled husband’s fresh coffee. On the table was a dented, pink plastic florist’s vase. In it were a few sprigs of dry, leftover baby’s breath and Dale’s bouquet – bird, bee, caterpillar and butterfly. The beloved Tropicana rose had been moved four

She had gone to strangers for permission — then made a dozen trips to gather the Tropicana’s fallen petals and create the gift. I lifted the fragile glass lid today; after 30-odd years only a faint scent remains, containing vivid memory. Yesterday, a bearded, rather scruffy young man opened a door for me in the crowded department store. When he returned my smile, I was the most fortunate of women in a warmer world.

Going over the fiscal cliff has real impacts on education

ery rarely do policy makers find themselves faced with an opportunity to completely avoid an unprecedented fiscal crisis. Unlike the recent recession, Congress and the Administration have everything they need to avoid sending our country over the fiscal cliff. The looming fiscal cliff, the cuts of sequestration and our country’s ability to avoid them lie solely in the hands of our elected leaders in Congress and the White House. Now is the time to put politics aside and make decisions to help this country avoid the deep, blunt, across-the-board cuts of sequestration. As a school system leader, I can assure you that education cuts do not heal, and that the impact of the sequester on education would be severe and far-reaching. The looming fiscal cliff and sequester threaten to undermine the success of our local schools in preparing students to be college/career ready. In a federal fiscal climate with a seemingly laser-focus on “cut, cut, cut,” it is more important than ever that our nation’s leaders recognize the important role of education in not only educating students, but in preparing a high-quality workforce for postsecondary opportunity, whether work or college.

Stilly Valley Pioneer Hall hosts ‘Military Day’ European theater during WWII until his passing. “It wasn’t until I read his DD-214 form that I discovered he’d been wounded in the Battle of the Bulge,” Morse said. “Three Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantry Badge for 13 months and 21 days in the Army. I sure didn’t make sergeant as quick as he did,” he laughed, before turning serious. “But he never talked about it. I had relatives on the USS Arizona when it sank. Four of my namesakes are on that memorial. If it wasn’t for the WWII vets, we’d be speaking a different language.” Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Museum caretaker Marty Rausch explained how “Military Day” started 12 years ago, with the dedication of a military memorial on site, and promised that it would continue to take place on Dec. 7, regardless of which day of the week the anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack falls upon in a given year. “Sometimes we’ve had re-enactors here, lots of times we’ve had military vehicles, but our museum has always been open on

this day,” Rausch said. “This day is a chance for community members to meet veterans, and for veterans to exchange ideas with each other. My brother was in the Korean war, and it wasn’t until after he died that I found out that he’d earned a Purple Heart.” Jared Dickson was one of the survivors of the sinking of the USS Curtiss at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, and his recollections echoed Schanche’s observation that many of the sailors who fought and died that day had barely entered adulthood. “Those boys who were 17 back then would be 88 today,” Dickson said. “I’ll be 92 in a couple of months.

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a terrifying experience that I don’t care to talk about. I’m real proud

of the fellows who fought for our country at the time, but we’re all going to be a thing of the past very soon.”

ARLINGTON — The 21-gun salute was rendered, the military vehicles were on display and the veterans were soon chatting up a storm at the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum’s annual “Military Day.” Before Arlington Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1561 Junior Vice Cmdr. Nathan Farmer, Community Affairs Chair Bill Morse and Senior Vice Cmdr. Jack Hayes took up their rifles to fire off their series of shots, David King of Mill Creek had returned to show off yet another vehicle in his military collection, this time a 1942 Slat Grill Jeep with an M1919A4 .30-caliber Browning machine gun mounted on its side. “I had the gun before I had the Jeep, but I’ve had the Jeep for almost eight years now,” said King, a faithful visitor to each year’s “Military Day” who has eight military vehicles in his fleet now. “I try to make it here every year to show my respect and honor our past and present military

members. I’ll go just about wherever I’m invited for this. I drove my World War II Harley up to Anchorage this year as part of a convoy, and that was a bumpy ride, let me tell you.” Mike Schanche, who recently retired from his 30-year Navy career after having achieved the rank of Command Master Chief of Naval Station Everett, donned a civilian suit and tie to address the room of fellow veterans following the 21-gun salute. “I see a lot of WWII veterans here, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Schanche said. “You guys wrote the pages of history, which we’ve strived to uphold. You should take great pride in your legacy, especially as the young men and woman of today’s armed forces continue to uphold your same high standards.” Schanche reported that Naval Station Everett’s observance that morning, of the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, was an appropriately moving ceremony.

Walmart, USO team up to help children at the Quil Ceda Walmart wound up well-stocked with items such as electronic dartboards and sporting equipment, while contributions such as Xbox games and iTunes gift cards were much appreciated for older kids. “It’s a wonderful thing to give back to the military members who have served us, by supporting their families,” Cox said. “And don’t take the time you have with your loved ones for granted,” added Army Pfc. David McClary, one of the military volunteers at the Dec. 7 USO toy drive. “A lot of us can’t see our families for the holidays.”

TULALIP — The Quil Ceda Village Walmart hosted half a dozen volunteers from the United Service Organization on Friday, Dec. 7, as they collected toys for the children of military families. “Two weeks ago at the Fred Meyer in Kent, we collected about $5,000 worth of toys,” said Meagan Cox, lead communications and IT person for the USO Northwest in Seattle, as she and her fellow volunteers filled shopping carts that Friday with donations from customers. “We’re hoping to get roughly the same results here.”

Cox explained that, while the “Toys for Tots” program is administered by the U.S. Marine Corps and tends to benefit the children of civilian more than military families, the USO’s toy collection drive enlists a largely civilian crew of volunteers to help brighten the holidays of children of military families. “One of the biggest challenges military families face is that so many people assume that they’ve got it all made for them,” Cox said. “The reality is that military members often make less money than their civilian counterparts, even while being sent overseas to protect our freedoms.” The USO shopping carts

Cub Scouts donate to Food Bank

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank got another helping hand from the community courtesy of the members of Cub Scout Pack 180, who showed up at the Food Bank’s doorstep carrying enough non-perishable food items to equal the weight of four and a half Cub Scouts. The Cub Scouts handed over their 352 pounds of food items to Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling on the afternoon of Saturday, Dec. 15, as Grace Ustaris, committee chair for the Cub Scout pack, explained how her kids had collected that much food between the lat-

ter half of November and the early weeks of December. “Our core values that we wanted to demonstrate for the month of November were citizenship and goodwill toward the community,” said Ustaris, who credited 19 Scouts with generating this haul. “It’s probably the biggest turnout we’ve ever had. We did amazingly well.” Ustaris noted that the Scouts managed to collect this many cans of food at the same time that they were fulfilling other community service commitments they’d made, including singing Christmas carols at the Marysville Care Center and a session of tree-planting at the Qwuloolt Estuary. Mark Gorrell is past grand

knight of the Knights of Columbus Council 7863, the charter organization for Cub Scout Pack 180, and he agreed with Ustaris that the Scouts’ activities have been in keeping with the Knights of Columbus’ core values of charity, unity, fraternity and patriotism. “This is definitely a cause that’s an ongoing benefit to the community as a whole,” Gorrell said. “The holiday season is a prime time for such giving. We in the Knights of Columbus work hand in hand with the Cub Scouts, and we’ve been very impressed by the teamwork they’ve demonstrated in working together.” Deierling not only gave the Scouts a chance to weigh

thropy, and if they hit harder times as adults, I hope they’ll remember the Food Bank as a place that they shouldn’t be ashamed to go to if they need assistance.”

the food they collected, along with themselves, on the Food Bank’s large scale, but also explained how important such contributions are to the Food Bank, well beyond the holidays. “This is essential inventory for us,” Deierling said. “The donations we receive now feed our clients not only through the holidays, but also up to March or April, when we start to get low again. That’s why the Letter Carriers’ Drive in May is so important to replenish our stock. Our inventory levels don’t follow a straight line.” While the Food Bank fed an estimated 715 families Thanksgiving meals, Deierling only anticipates to feed 650 families Christmas

Tommies top Eagles, 48-36

December 19, 2012

BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The season has begun for the Tomahawks wrestling team, and so far the athletes are proving that they are a force to watch this year. Marysville-Pilchuck faced Arlington High School on Thursday, Dec. 13, and finished the match with a 48-36 win. It was Coach Iversen versus Coach Iversen during the match, when Arlington’s head coach Rick Iversen and his son, M-P’s head coach Craig Iversen, faced each other. Every bout ended in a pin, which is fairly unusual for high school wrestling. If Arlington had managed to pin one more athlete, the teams would have been tied. At 126 pounds, M-P’s Ryan Daurie pinned Parker Spady in three minutes. In the 138pound weight class, MP’s Rigo Perez pinned Ryan Swierkowski at 1:38, while teammate Killian Page pinned Jesse Driscoll at 2:47 in the 152-pound weight class. M-P’s Drew Hatch finished the quickest bout of the day when he pinned Kevin Bruch in 19 seconds, at the 170-pound

Lady Cougars fall to Wolves BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lady Cougars basketball team may have underestimated the strength of the Coupeville Wolves on Tuesday, Dec. 12, as Lakewood suffered a 40-32 loss to the Cascade Conference 1A school. The game started out rough for the Cougars as the Wolves scored first and kept on scoring consistently throughout the first half of the game. Lakewood didn’t score until the second quarter and left for the locker room with only three points on the board, while Coupeville had 17. The Cougars rallied a bit of a comeback however, and scored almost 10 times the points of their first half total in the second, but it wasn’t quite enough to pull out a win, leaving them trailing 40-32 at the end of the game. Coupeville’s defense kept them at bay for the first three quarters, but the Cougars still had some high scorers, including 5-foot-10 freshman Marissa Blair who scored 16 points, and 5-foot-3 freshman Hayley Senyitko, who scored five points including one 3-pointer. Senior Mikayla Holmes scored four points and one 3-pointer, while Cassidy Dvorak scored three points and Reille Jones and Eliza Wild scored two each.

The game marked the second in-league loss for the Cougars, who are a relatively young team. “We have three players returning from last year’s varsity team, none of whom were starters,” said head coach Chris Walster. “We have five freshman on varsity this year, and they are a good group of freshman. In fact, our two leading scorers are Marissa Blair and Hayley Senyitko, both freshmen.” Walster was disappointed in the outcome of the game against the Wolves. “Last week we played a great game against Archbishop Murphy,” he said. “We led by two in the second half and we were only down by six in the fourth quarter. Tonight was disappointing because Coupeville was last place in the league last year and Archbishop Murphy was first place. It’s not an excuse but I think we overestimated our ability.” He also noted that fouls were an issue for them early on. “We got into foul trouble early with silly fouls,” said Walster. “We would have liked to put more pressure on them, but we had a lot of fouls in the first half.” The Cougars played Granite Falls in an away game on Friday, Dec. 14, and won with a 47-36 victory. They are set to play Marysville Getchell in an away game on Friday, Dec. 21.

Local soccer rivalry begins BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — A new local rivalry is developing in Arlington and Marysville, but this time it isn’t over high school sports — it’s semi-professional indoor soccer. Marysville Indoor Sports and Arlington’s Soccer First Indoor Sports arenas both host semi-pro soccer teams — the Ruckus FC in Marysville and the Aviators FC in Arlington. The teams played their first game against one another on Saturday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. at Marysville Indoor Sports to a completely packed building, as fans of both teams made their presence known. Both the Ruckus and the Aviators are part of the Premier Arena Soccer League’s Northwest division, with seasons beginning in December. “I had 35 guys tryout this year,” said Kim McMullan, who co-owns Marysville Indoor Sports with her boyfriend Craig Otto. “We have guys playing for us from Ferndale, Kitsap County and Seattle.” Marysville Indoor Sports was opened last year and started a semi-pro team immediately, while Soccer First in Arlington has been around for years but just started their team this season. “I’ve been the owner of this business for six years, and every year the league gives me a phone call to see if I want to open a team,” said Phil Bartlow, owner of Soccer First. “I kept saying no, because I felt that my facility is smaller than most. But last year Marysville put in a team and their arena is smaller than mine, so my excuse didn’t really work anymore.” A number of local players urged Bartlow to start a team as well, so they held open See soccer, Page 11

Soccer FROM PAGE 10 training in August and tryouts in October. “It’s been a really good experience,” said Bartlow. “We’re still new but we are trying to put out the most competitive team we can.” The distance between both arenas is only 5.9 miles, an issue that stirred up a lot of debate about whether the teams are too close and if the proximity is damaging to player turnout and sponsor opportunities. “In the PASL, the rule used to be that you can’t have another team within a certain distance of us, but they pushed to have a team only 5.9 miles away,” said McMullan. “Some of their players used to

“It was nice to get the win, but it really was just a wonderful night. We had tons of alumni there and that was great,” he said. The Tomahawks competed in the Paul Reiman Classic in Mount Vernon on Saturday, Dec. 15, and found success there as well. “We had seven in the finals that we were really happy with,” said Iversen. “We had five champs so that was a nice way to cap off our Christmas break.” Daurie, Page, Hatch,

Perez and Cooper were all champions in their weight classes.

play for Ruckus so it’s a little tense.” The Ruckus have won one game and lost two so far this year, opening their season with a 10-9 loss to the Oregon Blacktails on Dec. 1. They suffered a 9-2 loss to the Kitsap Pumas on Dec. 8. The Aviators lost their first game to Snohomish in a rough 10-1 defeat. Their second game was a victory at home, with a 6-5 win over the Bellingham Rapids, two-time defending champions. “That was a big deal for us,” said Bartlow. In the rivalry game against the Aviators, the Ruckus pulled out a 9-8 victory, scoring in the last nine seconds of the fourth quarter. “That was disappointing because we had the lead going in to the end and couldn’t

hold on to it,” said Bartlow. McMullan was excited over the win, while Otto was partially responsible for it — he’s the goal keeper for the Ruckus. “This was really a great game,” said McMullan. Both teams are hoping that the community will support local soccer. “Support definitely helps when we have two people cheering for us instead of against us,” said Bartlow. Ruckus play their next game away against the Tumwater Pioneers at Tumwater Indoor Sports on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. The Aviators will play a home game against the Snohomish Skyhawks on Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. For more information about the league or a schedule visit www.arenaleague. com.

It’s not the first success for Marysville-Pilchuck, who faced Granite Falls and Lakewood at the Jackson High School Double Duals on Dec. 5, and beat both teams — Granite Falls in a 54-22 victory and Lakewood with a 51-25 victory. The Tomahawks are set to face away Eastmont on Friday, Dec. 28, at 6 p.m. and their first league match-up at home against the Stanwood Spartans on Jan. 3 at 7 p.m.

Local school officials respond to shooting n Minimize your child’s exposure to conversations that are occurring about the event. Seeing and hearing adults overwhelmed or consumed with the information can increase children’s fears. n Stay calm yourself. Calm adult responses and reactions can go a long way to helping children cope. n Let your child know it is normal to be afraid and adults worry too. The primary need of children and adolescents is to feel safe and secure. Brainstorm ideas for helping them cope with their fear, such as talking with you and other trusted adults when they

are feeling worried, draw, write, physical exercise or listen to music. Reassure them their school is a safe place to be. n Take time to listen carefully to their feelings and worries. n Stay with everyday routines. All of us find safety in the predictable. n Watch for significant changes in behavior, such as headaches, stomachaches, clinginess, withdrawal or irritability. n Contact your school’s counselor for additional resources and/or strategies if you have any concerns. Both the Marysville and the Arlington school dis-

tricts have had staff available to speak with students since their return to class on Dec. 17. Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the Arlington School District, credited Arlington Police with stopping by the schools, during the course of making their regular patrol rounds on Dec. 14, “to let us know we had their support.” Arlington Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield added that Arlington Police have increased their presence at the schools “and will continue to do so for the next few days or so.”

17, the statements on both school districts’ websites acknowledged that news of the shooting would likely dominate news coverage throughout this time, and as such, the districts provided lists of tips for students’ families and school faculty, to try and provide a greater sense of safety to their children and themselves. The following recommendations were posted online by the Marysville School District: n Turn off or monitor the television. Endless news programs are likely to heighten anxiety, and young children cannot distinguish between images on television and their personal reality. n Maintain a normal routine. n Stick to facts. Answer questions factually. n Remain calm and reassuring. Children take their cues from their parents and other caring adults around them. n Be a good listener and observer. Pay attention to changes in behavior. The Arlington School District posted similar guidance on its own website, telling parents that, based on their children’s ages, they should: n Minimize or eliminate exposure to the media. Repeated viewing of the information can contribute to increased anxiety, fear and other symptoms.

statement on the Arlington School District website read that same day. “The safety of our students is our highest priority.” The statement on the Marysville School District website noted that they have “a comprehensive student safety plan, and practice drills for lockdown, fire and other issues on a regular basis,” in addition to working with the Marysville and Tulalip Tribal Police and Fire departments, as well as the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, “as part of our continuing effort to keep your children safe.” The statement on the Arlington School District website likewise pointed out that they’ve worked with the Arlington Police and Fire departments, as well as Cascade Valley Hospital and the city of Arlington, to put together a comprehensive emergency plan, which has been tested a number of times in each of the years since through drills for lock downs, earthquakes and fire, according to the plan. “Following a drill, our Emergency Management Response Team reviews the success of the drill,” the statement on the Arlington School District website read. “Improving our emergency procedures is part of the district’s continuous improvement process.” Looking to the weekend and the students’ return to school on Monday, Dec.

MARYSVILLE — Representatives of the Marysville and Arlington school districts have joined county, state and national officials in reacting to the shooting on the morning of Friday, Dec. 14, at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., which killed 28 people total, including 20 children. Statements posted on the Marysville School District website at www.msvl.k12. wa.us an the Arlington School District website at www.asd.wednet.edu that same day extended the school districts’ sympathies to those affected by the shooting, while offering advice to local parents on how they might help their children deal with the news of this tragedy. “As educators and parents, we are especially saddened that most of the victims this morning were vulnerable, innocent children,” the statement on the Marysville School District website read on Dec. 14. “As our students are being dismissed today, they may soon hear of these events and understandably feel anxious and frightened. The same feelings will most likely be experienced by parents and school staff. We are all affected and feeling less safe as a result.” “This is a difficult situation and communicating with your children about a tragedy of this magnitude can be overwhelming,” the
