MARYSVILLE — Even before they start serving up meals, the student chefs at the School House Cafe on the Totem Middle School campus are already hard at work. On Thursday, Jan. 3, roughly 40 students from Marysville-Pilchuck High School and the Small Learning Communities of Marysville Getchell High School are cleaning out the kitchen after their winter break and preparing various dishes for the following week and beyond. Wendy Hodgins, a paraprofessional with the Marysville School District, has helped the students in the public serving area and behind the scenes of the largely student-run restaurant, whose customer base

averages about three to four tables of four to six diners each during the three days each week that it’s open for business. “Around Valentine’s Day last year, we actually had to turn people away,” Hodgins said. “I’ve heard the chefs say it gets slow during the holidays, but it’s seemed pretty busy to me. It does pick up as the weather gets warmer, though.” In the past year that she’s assisted the program, Hodgins echoed the praise of Chef Jeff Delma for the students’ efforts and skills. “They walk in not knowing how to do anything and get to be able to run things on their own,” Hodgins said. “Many of them come in not realizing how difficult it will be, but they thrive under the pressure. Some of these SEE CAFE, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — After leading the Marysville School District for the past nine years, and serving more than 40 years in education, Larry Nyland announced on Jan. 3 that he would be retiring as the school district’s superintendent at the end of the school year. “We’ve completed the bond issue from 2006, plus some bonus projects. Our graduation rates have increased. Our schools have turned a corner, so

what do they need next? It’s similar to what they needed when I came in, which was someone with a lot of energy for building community and partnerships. A big part of me still wants that to be me, but I need a little bit more balance in my life.” Caldie Rogers, president and CEO of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, deemed Nyland a valued member of the Chamber Board whose input on its Government Affairs Committee she credited

RETIRE FROM PAGE 1 with shaping the Chamber’s legislative position papers. “His passionate beliefs, tireless dedication and leadership is recognized throughout our state, winning him Washington state’s Superintendent of the Year, the Grater Marysville Tulalip Chamber’s Business Leader of the Year, and most recently, the state naming his school board as the Board of the Year,” Rogers said. “Dr. Nyland has not only enhanced our youth, he has enhanced our community for years to come, and provided all of us whom have had the privilege to work with a cherished rarity, a true leader to believe in.” Just as Rogers cited Nyland’s “patience and passion, faith and wisdom, vision and skill, dedication and stubbornness,” so too did Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring compliment him as a key contributor to the community as a whole. “I have truly enjoyed working with Dr. Nyland, and very much appreciate the partnership that he has helped to forge between the school district and the city,” Nehring said. “Larry will be greatly missed, as he has led our school district so successfully and with such integrity. He leaves a lasting legacy and

large shoes to fill.” The Marysville School District expects to make a smooth transition in selecting Nyland’s successor before July 1, as Board President Chris Nation explained that the Board would secure the services of a consulting firm and conduct a series of community forums to solicit input from district staff and the surrounding community alike. “I have to admit, even though we had a little bit of a sense that this might happen, we felt a little bit like, what just happened?” Nation laughed, as he recounted his reaction to the news. “We even wondered what we might have done, but it wasn’t about us. He’s done what he felt he was brought here to do, and he’s brought us together to build a great foundation of leadership. Now that we’re firing on all cylinders, I think he feels like he can step aside.” “We’ve been blessed to have so many community partners come together around the schools,” Nyland said. “I’ve been blessed to serve alongside them.” To read Nyland’s message to staff and the community, visit the district’s website at www.msvl.k12. wa.us.

If you have a job to do, Chef Delma expects you to come in and get it done.” While Delma acknowledged that the two classes of students at the School

which leads to a good workplace.” As always, Delma reported that the fish-and-chips and freshly baked rolls are among the School House Cafe’s most popular menu selections, along with the spicy lobster sandwich. As he looked back on his time with the program, he reflected on what’s kept him in. “When I first decided to do this, I said to myself, if

you don’t like it, you can go back to being a commercial chef after one year,” Delma said. “Six years later, I’m still here, because I like interacting with these kids.” The School House Cafe is open Tuesdays through Thursdays from 12:15-1:30 p.m. at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.

Totem Middle School singers, from left, Laura Davis, Jeneé Barlow and Cheri Loertscher, have been selected to sing as part of the Washington Music Educators Association Junior All-State Choir in February.

Local singers selected for All-State Choir BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — With popular television shows like American Idol and The Voice shining light on vocal talent from people around the country, it’s no surprise that some local performers have set high goals for themselves as well — including some who haven’t even started high school yet. Three singers from the Totem Middle School choir program have been selected to perform as part of the Washington Music Educators Association Junior All-State Choir, after sending in audition tapes. Cheri Loertscher is an eighth-grade student who one day hopes to audition for the X Factor, a talent competition show on Fox. “That would be so awesome,” said Loertscher,

who is also trying out for a band. Right now, however, she is focusing on her upcoming performance as part of the mixed choir at the WMEA Junior All-State Choir gala in Vancouver, Wash., on Feb. 16, while sixth-graders Jeneé Barlow and Laura Davis are gearing up to perform as part of the youth choir. Davis described how she and her classmates learned they’d been chosen for honor choir. “It was like any other day,” she said. “But then at the end of class, Mr. [James] Orr made a big announcement and I nearly fell out of my chair.” Barlow was also excited to be chosen. “I thought I was ready for honor choir last year, but I got too nervous,” she said. “This year I didn’t get

nervous at all. I’ve never had voice lessons, so when I sang at the talent show last year everyone said I should take my singing further.” All of the girls discovered passion for singing early in their lives. “I love how you can arrange the notes in a specific order to make a wonderful, beautiful sound,” said Loertscher, who first performed on stage in a thirdgrade talent show where she sang the Star Spangled Banner. Davis began singing in church as a first-grader and Barlow sang during family gatherings. “When I was up there singing at the talent show last year I was a little nervous,” said Barlow. “When I saw my family I felt so

EVERETT — WorkSource Snohomish County is hosting a Community Resource Fair on Friday, Jan. 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at WorkSource Everett, located at 3201 Smith Ave. in Everett. “This is a time of financial and emotional stress for many people in Snohomish County,” said Amy Persell, director of service delivery at Workforce Development Council Snohomish County, the agency that oversees WorkSource Snohomish County. “We hope to help alleviate some of that stress. This fair will bring all the resources people may need into one room, effectively

saving people hours of time they would have spent navigating from office to office.” The resource fair will provide information and referrals for job searching, veterans’ services, housing, childcare, food assistance, senior programs, healthcare, utility assistance, financial survival and services for people with disabilities. The Department of Social and Human Services will also be on site, with their Mobile Community Services Office, able to help people apply for Basic Food, cash, medical benefits and other services. This event is free and open to the public.

much better. Afterward I started to cry because I was happy to have that chance to express myself.” Davis described a similar experience at the fifthgrade talent show. “In fifth grade I thought, I’m going to do this Owl City song ‘Fireflies.’ So I’m getting up in front of all these people, and they all have these sparkly outfits on and I was just singing my heart out. And I loved it.” The students will rehearse their songs at home prior to the event and again under the direction of WMEA music educators after arriving in Vancouver. The final concert performance will take place in the afternoon on Feb. 16.

Tulalip Tribes has partnered with us to improve learning for Tulalip students and students districtwide. MEA has partnered with us to implement a new performance based teacher evaluation. Teachers and principals are working together to create teacher teams using student data to improve learning. The U.S. Department of Education has visited our district twice to learn what we are doing.

certainly more to do, but I could not be more pleased with the dedication and hard work of our staff and students. Together we have accomplished much and look forward to continued success. Much as I desire to be a part of the next chapter in Marysville’s history, we have come to a natural transition point. Many of the plans outlined above are well launched. New work lies ahead — work that will require years to plan and implement: new national standards and new national exams; new elections for technology, the replacement of Cascade Elementary and our four year operations levy; and new leadership in many district positions. These efforts will require renewed vigor, passion and enthusiasm from school leadership, from school staff and from our community. While part of me is eager to participate in the continued growth and success

in Marysville, another part of me says that it is time to seek more balance in my life. For nearly 45 years, my wife Kathy has honored my 24/7 passion to make a difference in student learning. Now it is time to make a bit more time for family and for life. I do so, knowing that our great staff together with our students and our community partners will write the next successful chapter in Marysville’s story. I plan to retire at the end of this school year. I would once again ask God for thousands of pray-ERs to join in the support of the selection of the new superintendent. It is time to open a new chapter, a new book, in Marysville’s story. Much good work lies ahead.

To Marysville citizens, I look forward to meeting and working with you to do great things in our community in the new year for which we can all be proud.

on the test. There will be multiple-choice questions as well as constructed response items (multiple sentence responses to questions) that students have become familiar with on the MSP and HSPE. Additionally, SBAs will contain technology-enhanced items that will ask students to edit text, highlight key phrases, and manipulate data. Performance tasks are the final type of question

that students will encounter on the SBAs. These items will require students to use knowledge and skills from a variety of standards to answer more complex questions. Students may have to use research skills or integrate information from several sources within the test to respond to items. This spring several schools in our district will participate in a pilot of the SBAs. This will help the SBAC determine whether questions are appropriate and fair for the subject and grade-level.

Arlington-Smokey Point Chamber will offer CyberTour tional Visitor Information Center in Smokey Point to focus entirely on Arlington and Smokey Point businesses and attractions. “We believe that many visitors are up to date with technology,” said Mary Jane Harmon, managing director of the Chamber. “Everyone has a cell phone these days, and this CyberTour tracks all usage statistics, and allows us to flex the tour to what people want. We will also retain the traditional model with the Visitor Information Center, with paper brochures and maps, so we can charm visitors with Arlington’s historic feel and friendly faces while also being thoroughly modern and observant of traditions.” “The main strategy behind the CyberTour is grabbing people that are already here in Arlington for one reason, and letting them know 11 other reasons why they should stay longer or come back soon,” said Jesica Stickles, chair of the Chamber’s Tourism Committee. The Chamber has applied for several grants from the city of Arlington and Snohomish County to defray startup operational costs. They hope to have the CyberTour up and running by this summer, and look forward to attracting new tourists to Arlington.

Marysville Tulalip Chamber touts member benefits BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce has long touted its membership benefits, but Chamber President and CEO Caldie Rogers wants businesses to know about the Member Value Program available through the Association Benefits Corporation. “We enjoy having big businesses such as Walmart and Cabela’s, but 95 percent of our businesses have five employees or less,” Rogers said. “The MVP will provide an umbrella for them through Washington state’s chambers of commerce.” The Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce is the first in the state to offer the MVP, which includes not only medical, dental and group life coverage, but also disability insurance, senior benefits, and business, auto and home policies, in addition to critical illness and 24-hour accident insurance. According to Rogers, these same benefits will eventually be extended to “smaller neighboring chambers” whose member-

“We enjoy having big businesses such as Walmart and Cabela’s, but 95 percent of our businesses have five employees or less.”

Caldie Rogers President and CEO, Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce ship numbers are too small to qualify for the program. Bill and Jason Yeager, the co-owners of the Lynnwood-based Association Benefits Corporation, have joined Rogers in meeting with representatives of the city and school district of Marysville, as well as other members of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, to explain the benefits program, which also offers discounts on dining, lodging, travel and home repair, in addition to coverage for Chamber members, their businesses and employees, and their families. “The one condition is that you cannot access any of those benefits without being a Chamber member,” said Bill Yeager, the CEO of the Association Benefits Corporation. “If you drop your membership, you don’t get them.” “It’s a broad spectrum of benefits,” Rogers said. “Some of them

will be things that members really want, while others will be things that they don’t need, depending upon the members.” “You can just sign up for the ones you really need,” Yeager said. The MVP affords Chambers access to their choice of services, such as identity protection, roadside service and ADT home security monitoring systems, as well as college scholarships and even pet insurance. Yeager explained that, the more members that chambers such as the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce have, the more those chambers can provide such services to their members in turn.

Everett Elks Lodge representatives Ann Hall, left, and Linda Averill are surrounded by Pinewood Elementary English Language Learners who now have more books for their ELL Pen Pal Program.

Everett Elks help out ELL Pen Pal Program MARYSVILLE — Pinewood Elementary’s English Language Learners recently received $1,000 worth of books, from the Everett Elks Lodge, to write about with their adult pen pals. The Marysville School District started the ELL Pen Pal Program four years ago, with students from seven participating schools corresponding through handwritten letters with retired teachers and Friends of the Marysville Library, but the program expanded significantly in the following years. Pinewood Elementary ELL teacher Holly Scriven reported that the Elks dropped off an estimated 150 books for the ELL Pen Pal Program, dwarfing the roughly 25 books that had already been set aside for the program. “And those 25 books were only six different books, with a few copies of each,” said Scriven, who elaborated that the freshly bolstered collection of books would serve 24 ELL students, including those in second through fifth grade. “One of the problems was that there were not enough books of one kind for all of my students and their adult pen pals to read, so last year, Staci Tuck, who started the ELL Pen Pal Program, bought extras of a few of the books for me. I still needed a minimum of 10 copies each, which is what the Elks did for me with their gift this school year.”

The fall of 2012 saw the school district’s ELL Pen Pal Program cancelled due to budget cuts, time constraints and other academic obligations, but Pinewood Elementary Principal Breeze Williams agreed with Scriven that the program could be woven into their school’s curriculum and continued at Pinewood independently of the district as a whole. “We are so incredibly appreciative of this gift, and thankful that there are people like the Elks who are so willing to support our students,” Scriven said. “This gift, and this program, helps them to grow in their reading, writing and language skills, but what’s most precious is that it provides an opportunity for them to form a bond with our community, through their interaction with this wonderful group of adult pen pal volunteers.” Linda Averill of the Everett Elks Lodge has been an adult pen pal volunteer with the program since its inception, and she touted the Elks’ involvement with the Marysville School District’s ELL Pen Pal Program for years. “We were pleased to purchase books with the help of a national Elks grant,” Averill said. “In the past, we’ve also sponsored the entertainment and yearend celebration for the Marysville ELL students and their adult pen pals.” Averill deemed the ELL Pen Pal Program as fitting the Elks’ focus on youth activities, and summed up the Elks’ five promises to youth as providing them

with safe places, offering them support from caring adults, promoting healthy living, emphasizing the importance of education and encouraging community service. “By providing these books, Holly could continue the pen pal program at Pinewood, the children could have some new reading material and the Elks participating as pen pals met several of the grant objectives,” Averill said. “It was a win for all of us, but especially for the children.”

of hospitality, service and attention to detail. When reviewing each property, the AAA team looks for all the accoutrements of a fine-dining venue. Reviewers described Tulalip Bay as offering an environment of rich wood paneling, plush seating, a Chihuly chandelier, an award-winning wine list, an exhibition kitchen and table-side service. They also evaluated the menu creativity and found an array of fresh seafood, local produce and prime meat selections. As a Four Diamond restaurant, Tulalip Bay’s service staff was deemed dedicated and highly attentive in catering to dining guests’ every need. Sommelier Tommy Thompson was noted as always available to assist with wine selections and share his vast enological knowledge. “We are honored to receive this award, and to share it with the community and our guests,” said Lisa Severn, food and beverage director for the Tulalip Resort Casino. “The Resort is committed to offering an exemplary balance of unparalleled service, luxury and value representative of the AAA Four Diamond rating.”

ROTC units face off in drill competition

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Cadets from the Arlington High School Air Force and Marysville-Pilchuck High School Navy Junior ROTC units follow orders among a host of other high school JROTC units during the Dec. 15 drill competition at AHS. challenging it is for himself and his fellow cadets to drag themselves out of bed at 3 a.m. for an all-day drill competition, but he deemed the life lessons they’ve gained through such experiences to be well worth the headaches. “Not everyone is a morning person, but you work through it,” Lacson said. “You have to focus, pay attention and persevere, and make sure your cadets do the same. No matter how frustrating things can get, it all pays off with the help of your team. They’ve gotten me back on track to see my goals.” Retired Navy Chief Petty Officer Kathy Wilde joined the MarysvillePilchuck High School Naval Junior ROTC program this school year after 22 years in the fleet, but since she enlisted straight out of high

school, when she was part of the JROTC unit there, this feels like coming full circle for her. “These kids commit to this schedule, at the same time that they’re juggling AP and Honors classes,” said Wilde, who cited the cadets’ more than 1,200 hours of community service this school year, including a holiday food drive that yielded 2,048 pounds of donated food. “In their drills, they focus on regulations and keep it basic. They’re not here to be fancy. They’re here to do it right, and that mentality extends to other areas of service and citizenship.” Retired Air Force Maj. Mike Blue was gratified that the event’s concessions made so much money, since those funds will help his cadets in the Arlington High School Air Force Junior ROTC

program afford to travel to drill competitions at other schools. “This time hosting the event went way better than last time,” Blue said. “Maybe next time, we should have the band accompany us. They offered to take part this time around, but it was too late to make it work.” Blue thanked the community for its support and commended his cadets for their teamwork and precision, but suggested that they might need to “jazz up their exhibition a bit, since we’ve been doing the same stuff for a few years now.” AHS AFJROTC Cadet Airman 1st Class Donald Janda and Cadet 1st Lt. Ariel Taylor both joined as freshman, although that still adds up to two very different years of experience in the unit, since

Janda is a sophomore now while Taylor is a senior. Both appreciate their fellow cadets, even if Taylor’s position of leadership poses some challenges that Janda doesn’t have to cope with. “Camaraderie is probably the most common answer that people will give for why they love it, but it’s true,” Taylor said. “It can be difficult to deal with cadets who don’t want to listen to orders, but you’ve got to make them understand that they’ve got to put the time in to do things right. There’s no ‘I can’t.’” “I definitely like the teamwork,” said Janda, who scored Arlington its first place in the armed drill down. “With something like that, you just make sure you know what you need to do and try not to mess up. You can’t worry about the judges.”

MARYSVILLE — Cadets from the Arlington High School Air Force and Marysville-Pilchuck High School Navy Junior ROTC units were singled out for distinction in several categories, as they competed among a host of other high school JROTC units in armed and unarmed drills at Arlington High School on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2012. Marysville-Pilchuck High School ranked sixth for both Color Guard Teams 1 and 2, but scored first among unarmed drill teams. While M-PHS again scored first among unarmed drill team commanders, AHS scored fourth in the same category, and while Arlington ranked sixth among armed drill teams, Marysville ranked sixth among armed drill team commanders. Marysville took second in both the armed duo team and unarmed drill down categories, while Arlington took fifth in the unarmed drill down, but first in the armed drill down. M-P’s physical strength team placed third, while its cadets ranked fourth for physical fitness scores among men, and both fourth and fifth for physical fitness scores among women. M-PHS NJROTC Cadet Ens. Terence Lacson has followed in the footsteps of not only his older sister, who was also in his unit’s unarmed drill team, but their father, a 21-year Navy veteran. Looking back on four years of JROTC, he acknowledged how

MARYSVILLE — The Arlington Lions Club received a holiday gift from the Marysville chapter of the Take Off Pounds Sensibly nonprofit support group, which TOPS members hope will share the gift of sight with the less fortunate around the world. On Dec. 19, Randy Tendering of the Arlington Lions Club received 75 pairs of used eyeglasses from the Marysville TOPS chapter, which its members had been collecting since Thanksgiving. “This is our first time donating glasses to the Lions Club, but we always try to do something for the community around Christmas,” Marysville TOPS Chapter Treasurer Ada Hamilton said. “Last year, we pitched in on behalf of a women’s shelter.” For Hamilton, the Lions’

Eyeglass Recycling Centers serve a cause that hits close to home, since she has glaucoma, so when she saw a promotion for the program at Marysville optometrist Dr. Kim Kron’s office, she suggested it to her fellow Marysville TOPS members. “When Randy came to collect the glasses, he explained that they would be sent to the Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center in Lacy, where they’d be cleaned and sorted before being sent to people all over the world who can’t afford glasses,” Hamilton said.

Marysville teams start out the new year BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — New Year’s Day has come and gone, which means that games, matches and meets are starting up again for local high school sports teams after a holiday break. Here’s a look at what they are starting out with and where they hope to end up.

Marysville-Pilchuck High School

Girls Basketball — The Lady Tomahawks record is 2-2 in their league and 4-6 overall. They began their season with only one win out of their first five games, but have tripled their victories in the following five games, showing a steady streak of improvement. Their first three losses were to 4A schools, including the seasonopener against the now undefeated Arlington High School. Their next game is against the Shorecrest Scots at Shorecrest High School at 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 9. Jenika Anglim is ranked third in the league with a points average of 14.1. Boys Basketball — The boys team has yet to seal a victory, as of press time, losing their first 11 games. Only seven more games remain in the regular season, with three of those being league matchups. The Tomahawks will need to

step up their game in the next few weeks if they hope to make it to districts. Their record is 0-4 league and 0-11 overall. They face Glacier Peak at home on Friday, Jan. 11, at 7:15 p.m. Boys Swimming — MarysvillePilchuck boys swimmers have won two of their meets, against Lynnwood and Cascade high schools, in December. They will host Everett High School at home at 2:45 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 10. Colin Willis and Jonathon Pusateri are Tomahawk swimmers with consistent first-place finishes. Willis has already achieved a state qualifying time of 56.57 in the 100-yard backstroke, during the Dec. 13 meet against Cascade. Wrestling — The Tomahawks have had three team victories, beating Granite Falls, Lakewood and Arlington in December. They’ve also had wrestlers take some of the top spots at the 2012 Wilfong Classic, the Paul Reiman Classic and the Eastmont invite. They are set to face Oak Harbor at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 10, at Oak Harbor High School.

Marysville Getchell High School

Girls Basketball — After tasting their first-ever victory on Monday, Dec. 3, against Mariner High School, the Lady Chargers won

again, this time against SedroWoolley on Saturday, Dec. 15, in 51-37 victory. These two wins are crucial for the team, which lost every game in the 2011-12 season. They now have eight games left in the regular season and though it will be tough for the young team to win enough of the upcoming games to qualify for districts, it isn’t impossible. Even a few more wins will boost the confidence of the team and give them something to build on for 2013. Boys Basketball — The Chargers have a 2-2 record in their league and a 4-7 record overall, and with seven games left in the regular season, including four league games, they have a chance at districts. They are third in the Wesco North 3A division, and they have several top scorers. Nathan Grimm and Elijah Gordon are the third and fourth top scoring players in the division, with a points average of 16.3 and 16, respectively. They are set to face Shorewood at home at 7:15 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 11. Wrestling — The Chargers wrestling team has won one of their matches this season, against Lynnwood on Dec. 6. But despite the loss of six matches, individual bouts have been very successful, with some state tournament potential.

Marysville Getchell sophomore Marina Wika looks to pass during a nonleague match-up against the Eagles. The Lady Chargers are now 2-2 in their league and face Shorewood at home on Friday, Jan. 11. Cody Stone went undefeated in four matches at the George Yonlick Tournament in Bellingham in December. Stone, a 160-pound junior, has also won bouts by pins at several other meets as well. Billy Almachar, a 120-pound junior, was also undefeated at the George Yonlick Tournament.The team now faces Ferndale away at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Boys Swimming — Marysville

Getchell boys swimmers have won one of their five meets so far this season, with an 88-67 win over Lynnwood on Dec. 6. Kevin Korte, Michael Cozart, Daniel Swanson, Connor DeMarco and Taylor Dalton have had several first place finishes in individual races as well as relays so far, and all have state qualifying potential. They now face Everett at home on Thursday, Jan. 10 at 2:45 p.m.

Lakewood Cougars fall to Knights, 65-46 BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — The Cougar boys basketball team faced King’s High School on Wednesday, Jan. 2, and lost the game to the Knights, 65-46. Judging only by the first half, the game could have gone either way, as both teams held a lead at least once in the first two quarters. The Cougars scored consistently, finishing the first quarter only six points behind the Knights and managing to outscore King’s in the second quarter, going into halftime with a score of 26-23. The Knights’ defense was strong throughout the game, however, and when the teams returned from the locker rooms, the Cougars had trouble getting past the strength of their defense and only scored six points in the third quarter. A number of bad passes resulted in turnovers, also hurting the Cougars’ chances of maintaining Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo the scoring pace of the Knights, Lakewood sophomore Ryan Alford moves to score during the Jan. 2 home who scored triple the points of game against King’s High School. the Cougars in the third quarter.

Lakewood kept pace in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to bring them back the lead and the game ended in a 65-46 loss for the Cougars. Top scorers include sophomore Ryan Alford who scored 15 points including three 3-pointers, senior Blaine Kelly who scored 11 points and one 3-pointer, and senior Kendal Kippen who scored eight points and one 3-pointer. Sophomore Hunter Fritz scored six points and senior Justin Peterson scored two points, as did sophomore Paul Coleman and junior Eljay Johnson. “We’re kind of in the heart of schedule right now. We’ve got Sultan on Friday, Cedarcrest and then Archbishop Murphy, which are kind of the tough teams in our league,” said Lakewood head coach Matt Hart. “We had a really good tournament in Yakima a few days ago and played well, and I think tonight we weren’t quite prepared for how physical King’s is and how talented they are.”

Going into their next few games, the Cougars are planning on getting focused to win. “We just need to get back to the basics and fundamentals. We have a lot of little things to work on and I think the things we are missing in our program right now are just basic little things, and once we can clean that up, the rest of the pieces will fall into place,” said Hart. “It’s an important part of the season right now.” Hart said that despite the loss, several players still had a good game. “Blaine Kelly played well and Hunter Fritz played pretty well for us also,” he said. “Towards the end of the game, Ryan Alford really kind of helped lead that charge back and made a couple threes and that helped us try to get back in it at the end. Ultimately their defense really hurt us. We’ve got to get back to the drawing board and kind of regroup.” Lakewood is set to face Archbishop Murphy at home on Friday, Jan. 11, at 7 p.m.

AHS wrestlers give Action Sports a helping hand in moving BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Action Sports in downtown Arlington got an early Christmas present when half a dozen students and adults involved in the Arlington High School wrestling program helped the store move to its new location, one block south on Olympic Avenue, in a single day. Rich Senff, manager and owner of Action Sports, touted his new location’s increased space, from 2,000-squarefeet at their former address at 430 N. Olympic Ave. to nearly 5,000-squarefeet at their new address at 340 N. Olympic Ave. “All that changed in the address were two numbers, so we still have people who think we typed it wrong,” Senff laughed. “We’ve more than doubled our space, though.” Senff was effusive in praising the more than half a dozen young kids and adults, not all of them current or former AHS wrestlers, who showed up early on the morning of Nov. 24 to help him out, after they’d heard of his need for extra hands from a friend of his who was a former coach. “They called me up at 8 a.m. and said, ‘We’re ready to move,’” Senff said. “I’d actually planned to start the move that afternoon, but I asked

As wrestling practice got out, they came back with more kids.” The move got underway at 9 a.m. and had finished transporting the store’s contents from one location to the other by 5 p.m., but it still took

until 7 p.m. for the store to get fully organized in its new location. “I think they were more excited than I was,” Senff laughed. “Seriously, though, I want to thank the community for stepping up in a really great way to help a small-town local guy like me.”

At last year’s Sea Marsponsored parties, more than 10,000 toys were distributed, mostly from funds raised through the organization’s annual golf tournament and other fundraising activities. The children invited to the annual event were from families served by Sea Mar who met the federal low-income eligibility guidelines. The Snohomish County party included a holiday dinner for families, three gifts for each child 12 years and younger, children’s crafts, face-painting, entertainment, balloons, photos

with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and a special visit from the “Reptile Man.” “The Christmas party is part of Sea Mar’s commitment to help families with limited resources enjoy the holidays just a little bit more — sometimes a lot more,” said Tamara Fitzpatrick, nurse manager at Sea Mar’s Marysville Medical Clinic. “It’s not unusual each year to hear from parents that the Sea Mar party is ‘Christmas for our kids.’” Fitzpatrick added that the annual event is made possible each year through the generous donations of local businesses and the hard work of Sea Mar staff and volunteers.

MARYSVILLE — On Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012, an estimated 250 needy children in Snohomish County received bags of age-appropriate gifts and toys, and more than a hundred families enjoyed holiday meals at the Sea Mar Community Health Center’s Snohomish County Christmas Party at Cedarcrest Middle School in Marysville. For nearly 25 years, Sea Mar has hosted Christmas parties in several Western Washington counties where the organization’s medical, dental, behavioral health, social and educational services are offered. In total, more than 3,000 children were served in 2012 at Christmas parties throughout seven counties served by Sea Mar, including Snohomish, King, Clark, Whatcom and Grays Harbor in Western Washington, and Yakima and Franklin in Eastern Washington. Sea Mar in Skagit County also partners in a county-wide

In the meantime, we will have limited medical services available on Saturdays.” The Saturday clinic operates from 9 a.m. to noon, and will offer acute medical care for patients. Lab services will also be provided, as will resources for low-cost and free medical services, patient care services and spiritual care. Safe Harbor is also open to the public on Friday nights from 6-9 p.m. at the Skagit Regional Clinic in Stanwood, serving under-insured and uninsured patients. Safe Harbor

has served approximately 4,000 patients in the three and a half years it has been open, from as far away as Seattle, Gig Harbor and Bellingham. In addition to urgent care, Safe Harbor offers specialty clinics that include chronic care, women’s health and podiatry. Skagit Regional Clinics have played a major role in making the new Saturday clinic possible, by donating space and furniture for Safe Harbor. This agreement came as part of a new twoyear lease, signed recently between Skagit Regional Clinics and Safe Harbor, that took effect on Dec. 1, 2012.

PUD offers tips on how to stay County urges residents to safe during winter storms prepare for emergencies potential carbon monoxide poisoning: Never use a stove or grill indoors to heat your home. Using a gas stove or charcoal grill inside your home for heating can have deadly results. They emit carbon monoxide — a colorless, odorless gas — that can kill a person in just minutes if inhaled at high levels, such as inside a house with its windows shut. Don’t forget to take care of yourself by dressing warmly. Dress in layers. Several lightweight, loose layers of clothes will keep you warmer than one heavy layer. Gloves, a hat and a scarf also will help. Keep an eye on your friends and neighbors who might be vulnerable to the cold weather. Customers with additional questions can call PUD Customer Service at 425783-1000 or visit the utility’s website at www.snopud.com. Winter preparedness tips also are available online at www.takewinterbystorm.org.

EVERETT — What do earthquakes, windstorms, heavy rain and flooding have in common? All have impacts that can be alleviated when residents become better prepared for disaster situations. Snohomish County’s Department of Emergency Management, the Everett Office of Emergency Management and the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency are joining together to encourage residents to make their households more prepared. “Because we cannot control when a disaster event may occur in our region, taking steps toward preparedness is important for our families comfort and safety when something happens,” Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon said. “Preparedness can reduce panic and help us return to normal faster.”

Preparedness can include many things — disaster supplies, household communication plans, alternative route planning and home evacuation plans — and doesn’t have to be expensive to be effective. Disaster supply kits should include basic first-aid items such as bandages, cleaning and disinfecting products, overthe-counter fever reducers and pain relievers. Kits also should include non-perishable, canned or dehydrated foods, as well as water. Each person needs one gallon of water per day. It’s also important to think about ways to heat and purify water for consumption or sanitation. Families should think through the unique daily requirements of each household member, including pets, infants and small children. Residents should also keep basic supplies in

their cars or commuter bags. These supplies might change based on the weather, but should always include a flashlight, food, water and protection from the elements, such as a rain poncho or space-blanket. There are a number of sites that can help families prepare for disasters, such as the Snohomish County Emergency Management webpage at www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/ Departments/Emergency_ Management, which features tips for families, schools and businesses to prepare for any event. For more information by phone, call the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management at 425-388-5071, the Everett Office of Emergency Management at 425-2577965, or the Emergency Services Coordinating Agency at 425-776-3722.

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Anthony J. Kubin, son of Judith Johnson of Marysville, Wash. and Joseph M. Kubin, of Everett, Wash., along with nearly 12,000 past and current crewmembers, family and friends, attended the inactivation of aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65). Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear powered aircraft carrier, recently completed its 25th and final deployment and returned to its homeport of Naval Station Norfolk for a scheduled inactivation, held prior to the ship’s terminal offload program and subsequent decommissioning. The inactivation ceremony was the last official public event for the ship, and served as a celebration of life for the ship and the Sailors who served aboard.

More than 100,000 Sailors and Marines have served aboard Enterprise during its lifetime, which has included every major conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis. It has been home ported in both Alameda, Calif., and Norfolk, Va., and has conducted operations in every region of the world.

An open fire in the fireplace is not an efficient way to heat your home. Whenever you’re not burning wood, close the damper in your fireplace or wood stove to prevent warm house air from escaping up the chimney. Make sure water pipes are protected from the cold so they don’t freeze and burst. Move furniture, draperies or other items that may block the flow of heated air from the furnace vents, the baseboard or in-wall heaters. Keep portable heaters away from anything flammable, such as curtains, furniture or bedclothes. Never leave a heater unattended and make sure your heater has a mechanism that will turn it off if it is knocked over. If you use a portable heater that burns liquid fuel, such as kerosene, also make sure the room is well ventilated. A critical reminder about

724821

EVERETT — Snohomish County PUD offers the following advice to save energy, stay safe and be comfortable in your home during winter storms: You’ll use less energy and will still keep your home warm if you set your thermostat no higher than 68 degrees during the day and no lower than 55 degrees at night. Elderly customers or those with small babies may want to keep their homes warmer. Concentrate your living to a few warm rooms. If you have rooms that are not used regularly, shut the furnace vent off or turn off the baseboard heaters, and close the door. With some forced-air furnace systems, there may be a loss of efficiency or a build-up of heat in the furnace if more than one-fourth of the vents are shut off. Keep your window drapes closed as much as possible. Windows are a major source of heat loss.
