MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Strawberry Festival crowned its Senior and Junior Royalty Courts during its annual April Friesner Memorial Scholarship Pageant on Saturday, March 1, at its new venue in the Totem Middle School cafeteria. Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew served as the evening’s emcee, praising the commitment and hard work of not only all four Senior Royalty candidates, but also all six Junior Royalty candidates, even as he noted that their respective numbers would need to be narrowed down to three each. Josette Wicker, a junior at Marysville Getchell High School’s Bio-Med Academy, kicked off the Senior Royalty candidates’ succession of “favorite outfits” with a black

dress that represented her weight loss efforts over the course of the past two years. “I’d lost 60 pounds, but when I saw this dress, I didn’t know if it would fit,” Wicker said. “When I was able to zip it all the way up, my confidence grew tremendously.” Wicker credited her move to Marysville, from her former hometown of Vancouver, Wash., with bringing her closer to her family, and with connecting her to teachers who saw the potential leader inside the shy young woman she used to be. “My involvement in ASB has given me a stronger outlook on life,” Wicker said. Rigo Perez, a junior at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, admitted to crying when he started first grade in Marysville, having just moved from Everett at the time, but noted that a few of SEE ROYALTY, PAGE 2

Chandler updates Chamber on state legislative session Local business owners encouraged to share their stories with legislators BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Gary Chandler, vice president of government affairs for the Association of Washington Business, returned to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce’s Business Before Hours on Friday, Feb. 28, to predict that the current state legislative session would

wrap up quickly due to a number of factors which caused him to express cautious optimism, even as he echoed incoming AWB President and CEO Kris Johnson’s call for local business owners to share their stories with legislators. “I can guarantee this session will conclude by March 13, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it wrapped up by March 11,” Chandler

said. “It’s an election year, so most of their focus is on making the other side look bad, and for the first time in six or seven years, the forecast is up, but not by a lot, which is actually a good thing, because it if was up by a lot, everyone would want to spend more money.” While Chandler deemed both the House and Senate budgets fairly bipartisan and relatively close to each other, he anticipated SEE CHAMBER, PAGE 20

succeed in high school. “I followed my brother into wrestling,” Perez said, before modeling his “favorite outfit,” which included running sweats and his wrestling singlet. “I love being active, and being part of M-P wrestling is about dedication. I love representing Marysville as a wrestler, and I want to do it as part of the Strawberry Festival.”

M-PHS senior Brianne King also sported athletic gear for her “favorite outfit,” in her case for track, from her letterman’s jacket displaying her accomplishments, to the sweats she trains in, that she will never throw out in spite out their holes, down to her neon, gold-soled track cleats. “I want people to be able to tell who I am when I’m out there,” King said. “Track

is my passion. We all should have passions that drive us.” King expressed equal enthusiasm for her lifelong home of Marysville, recalling how she grew up close enough to Jennings Park to go sledding down its hills during snow days. She extolled not only local services such as the Marysville YMCA, but also events like the Strawberry Festival itself, for bringing together the community. Karalyn Demarest, another junior at M-PHS, rounded out the four Senior Royalty candidates by showcasing her pride in MarysvillePilchuck, not only by wearing her Tomahawks cheerleading ensemble as her “favorite outfit,” but also by pointing out how much she enjoys talking with M-P alumni about how much the school has changed since its inception in 1971. “When I tried out, I did my best front handspring and landed on my tush,” said Demarest, whom nonetheless made the cheerleading squad. “I love my teams and want to show my pride in

them.” Demarest also loves the diversity of the Marysville community, citing her own mixed Filipino and Caucasian heritage. “We all come from different backgrounds,” Demarest said. “At the same time, we can all get together for events like the Strawberry Festival, no matter what our backgrounds.” After the Junior Royalty candidates had introduced themselves, Ballew kept the Senior Royalty candidates on their toes by asking them randomly chosen questions. When asked what he would do with $10 million to solve a world problem, Perez identified homelessness as a pressing need, empathizing with those “who just want the same things we take for granted,” before he drew laughter from the crowd by admitting that he’d probably keep $9 million for himself. “My biggest influence is my mom, who is also my biggest supporter,” Demarest said. “She’s always encouraged me to do my best, and even though she had me

when she was young, she made every effort to make my life great. I hope I turn out just like her.” When asked how the Marysville community has influenced her, Wicker not only reiterated the leadership roles and closeness to her family that it’s afforded her, but also cited her increased desire to help out others, including through stints at the Marysville Community Food Bank, as evidence that her hometown has “made me a better person.” Ballew asked King to assess both the positives and negatives of her public education to date. While she reiterated the role that track has played in her development, she also voiced concern for students who are bullied or otherwise struggling, “because they need help, and they need to know that there’s not anything wrong with pursuing a different learning style.” Wicker and Perez tied for the Congeniality Award, which was voted on by the candidates themselves, before the Senior and Junior Royalty Courts were finally named. Gabrielle Olson of Marysville Middle School joined fellow sixth-graders Cassie Snyder and Alexa Mendoza, of Cedarcrest Middle School, in being named the princesses of the Junior Royalty Court, while the Marysville Strawberry Festival Senior Royalty Court for 2014 consists of Princess Brianne King, Prince Rigo Perez and Queen Karalyn Demarest.

Marysville to put TBD measure on April ballot MARYSVILLE — A two-tenths of a percent sales-tax measure that city officials say will pave the way for fixing roads, taking care of unmet transportation needs, and improving pedestrian and bicycle safety and access will go before Marysville voters on April 22. On Jan. 13, the Marysville City Council formed a Transportation Benefit District, a separate and independent public entity allowed by state law for the sole purpose of repairing, building, improving, preserving and funding transportation improvements within the district. The ballot measure, Proposition 1, would initiate a two-tenths of a

percent sales tax that would generate roughly $1.6 million per year to meet Marysville’s unmet transportation needs. Marysville’s sales tax rate would increase from 8.6 percent to 8.8 percent, still lower than most cities in Snohomish County. If approved, the sales tax would be paid by everyone who shops in Marysville and uses the city’s streets and services, not just Marysville residents. The increased tax on $100 of taxable goods purchased in the city of Marysville would be 20 cents. Marysville has numerous road segments, among the 420 lane-miles maintained by the city, that are in failing or near-failing condition.

“The gas tax, sales tax and other traditional street revenues have steadily declined, to the point where the city is faced with a deteriorating infrastructure and no way to invest in all the projects necessary,” said Doug Buell, community information officer for the city. “The TBD can help us start to replace transportation funding that has been cumulatively lost over the past several years, and be better able to preserve, maintain and expand our transportation infrastructure into the future.” The TBD project list is based on a pavement condition study that evaluated all roadways within the

city limits. The study identified road segments that are at failing or nearfailing condition, and in need of preservation, repair or rebuilding. The $16 million transportation project list over the next 10 years, starting in 2015, would include: n 33 arterial, collector and residential pavement preservation projects within city limits. n Seven potential capital improvement projects. n Sidewalk improvement projects to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and access within Marysville. Priority would be given to main arterials and high-traffic roads, followed by collector roads and resi-

dential streets that are rated as failing or near-failing. While city officials have successfully acquired federal and state grant dollars to rebuild city streets, the grant dollars available are shrinking and competition is getting tougher among jurisdictions. “The city will not receive the same amount of grant dollars as it has in the past,” Buell said. “Moreover, Marysville will not meet the requirements for future grant funds if the city does not invest in the preservation of our streets.” For more information, log onto http://marysvillewa.gov/tbd or email marysvilletbd@marysvillewa.gov.

City’s stormwater fee funds water management, environmental stewardship

uring some of my coffee klatches and other public events, I have received questions regarding the stormwater fee that appears itemized on customers’ utility bills, and how the city of Marysville uses the funds that it generates. These are great questions that I would like to take some time to address. For the other fee-based utility services Marysville provides that you may receive, the end result is easy to see: water pours from the tap, the toilet flushes into the sewer system, and our Solid Waste crews empty your garbage can at the curb. But stormwater? The benefits of surface water management funded by the fee are not as readily visible in our day-to-day lives, yet it is every bit as important to a healthy community and a clean environment. As property owners, we all pay the fee to address stormwater impacts, because we all contribute to those impacts. In as much as we all are a source of the problem, we are also responsible, in accordance with federal and state laws, to pay for the solutions necessary to mitigate those impacts because each parcel of property contributes to some form of runoff and pollution to streams, ditches or groundwater. Like the citizens who have asked me about it, I hope this column will help readers who might also wonder what’s behind the surface water fee on your bill. What is the stormwater, or surface water fee? The stormwater fee covers the cost to manage and treat pollution in stormwater runoff.

GUEST OPINION JON NEHRING MARYSVILLE MAYOR

The city established its surface water utility in 1999. Snohomish County also operates a surface water utility and collects a fee within unincorporated areas. The county’s fee is collected with property taxes for areas outside the city. Starting in 2007, the city began collecting the fee independent of the county. The fee is no longer on a customer’s property tax statement, but included on your bi-monthly city of Marysville utility bill as a “single family stormwater” charge (current rate is $10.82 per month). So if you relocated from the county into Marysville over the past few years, this is not a new fee. You were paying it, but it might not have stood out as much in a long breakdown of fees on your property tax statement. Stormwater enters storm drains from streets, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots and driveways. Along the way, the stormwater runoff picks up trash, pollutants and other urban residue. Storm drains carry this pollution to waterways such as Allen, Quil Ceda and Munson creeks and eventually, Ebey Slough and the Snohomish River Estuary. Stormwater also makes flooding worse, which damages roads and culverts. It warms streams

Regardless of whether or not you currently have children attending a Marysville School District school, your role as a tax-paying resident gives you a say in how the district should prioritize its resources. And your role extends to helping shape how our young citizens view themselves. While our children may sometimes act as if our opinions don’t matter, the fact is they take their cues from all of us — parents, teachers, community and district leaders. If we expect middle-ofthe-road mediocrity, then that’s what they’ll deliver. If, however, we expect — and demand — a higher level of greatness, then our students will rise to that expectation and

GUEST OPINION DR. BECKY BERG soon see themselves as deserving of no less. Succeeding academically, understanding their role in the larger global economy and pursuing higher education must be seen as an expectation rather than an option. When I joined the Marysville School District this past summer, I did so with a commitment to provide all our students with the best education possible and a refusal to accept simply “good enough.” Toward that end, my leadership team and I have

been immersing ourselves in not just our school district but also in the cultures, traditions, history and expectations of the Marysville and Tulalip communities. I’ve always believed that our nation’s public schools are the bedrock of our democracy, best exemplifying the power of our local voice. Community engagement makes all the difference as we prepare our students for the future. And our community partnerships — with business owners, the Tulalip Tribes, religious and civic groups, the local YMCA, our Chamber of Commerce and numerous others — are strong, with many supporting our students not only through providing resources, but also through internships and job shadows. Here in the Puget Sound region SEE BERG, PAGE 5

A look at the Common Core State Standards

n 1993, House Bill 1209 was passed in Washington state. HB 1209 changed the landscape in education by expecting all students to meet statewide learning targets known as the essential academic learning requirements. Since 1993, Washington state has published essential academic learning standards for reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, health and fitness and the arts. Washington state revised their math standards in 2008 and changes to our reading and writing standards were on the horizon. However, in 2009, Washington state joined the Common Core State Standards Initiative. The Common Core State Standards Initiative, led by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers, is based on the principle that standards should be consistent from state to state. Currently, there are different academic standards in every state, and many of those

GUEST OPINION DIANE KIRCHNER-SCOTT standards do not prepare students for college and career. Consistent standards provide appropriate benchmarks for all students regardless of where they live, allow states to more effectively help all students succeed, and benefit students moving from one state to another. Another hallmark of the Common Core State Standards is that they are relevant to real world application and reflect the knowledge and skills that young people need to succeed in college and career. In July 2011 the Common Core State Standards where formally adopted in Washington State. The

Common Core State Standards replace our state’s learning standards in reading, writing and mathematics and call for a three-year transition period, with state testing of the new standards to begin 2014-15. Washington state will continue to have its own essential academic learning requirements in social studies, health and fitness and the arts. As with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics, there are new national science standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, which build on the standards Washington state has been using for over a decade. The Next Generation Science Standards will be phased in over five years and are slated for full implementation in 2016-17 with testing to begin in 2017-18. The Common Core State Standards are written for English Language Arts and Mathematics. SEE SCOTT, PAGE 5

neHRinG FROM pAGe 4 that would otherwise support a more robust fish habitat. It can erode stream banks and carry sediment that destroys habitat. Why are we paying a stormwater fee? The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit is a federal permit that regulates stormwater and wastewater discharges to waters of the state. While it is a federal permit, the regulatory authority has been passed to the state Department of Ecology (DOE). The first Western Washington Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit was issued by Ecology in January 2007. The current permit term is five years, which began in August 2013 and will end in July 2018. The permit requires that all affected municipalities such as Marysville create and implement a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) that addresses required program elements. Here are a few examples: n Public education and outreach by working with the Marysville School District to provide environmental education to students. n Provides local businesses with technical assistance to reduce pollutants. n Controls polluted runoff from construction activity by ensuring the use of best management practices. n Inspects and maintains publiclyowned detention ponds to maintain water quality and prevent flooding. n Carries out a water quality monitoring program. What does the stormwater fee provide? Beyond the overall surface water management program, the fee provides for some costs associated within the city and Quilceda/Allen

Watershed for runoff, construction projects, stewardship programs, and stream maintenance and restoration efforts. Marysville is also venturing more into Low Impact Development (LID) in advance of regulations in our NPDES permit that will require it in the years ahead. LID is a costeffective and innovative solution to prevent polluted runoff from entering surface and ground water sources. Projects we have done before or will pursue include permeable pavement and rain gardens, or rain harvesting systems. In general, the bulk of your stormwater fees go toward construction or improvements to existing infrastructure that assists with water quality treatment, flood control and drainage. I should note that every dollar collected for stormwater fees must go toward meeting these regulations and cannot be moved to the general fund or used to fund any other services provided by the city, with the exception of when fees are used to fund the surface water portion of, for example, a road improvement project. In addition, state law requires that we undergo a thorough state audit every year to ensure that the city is in compliance with these and all other aspects of financial management. A key function of good government is making sure that we are accountable to taxpayers regarding our finances and activities. I can appreciate the questions and desire for clarification regarding this and other taxes and fees within the city budget, since I pay all of them as well. Protecting water quality and managing water quantity benefits all ratepayers and the surface water management program administered by the city.

In English Language Arts, other key differences include a higher level of text complexity, reading for information, inferring and giving evidence and writing to sources.

Adopting the Common Core State Standards is up to each state, however, because the adoption of college and career ready standards has been a requirement for states to apply for Race to the Top funds and for Washington State’s waiver from No Child Left Behind, there has been some confusion about whether states are required to adopt the Common Core State Standards.

Building up our job numbers should be Job No. 1 in Olympia

ix years ago, the Great Recession hit town. Every town. Still today, this worst economic calamity in more than seven decades is pummeling Marysville, Tulalip and our other Snohomish County communities. The economic doldrums are hitting us every bit as hard as folks in other Washington regions, other states and other countries. So what should we do? What’s the best way to spark the economy — to promote job growth and development? Sure enough, most everyone talks a good game when it comes to creating reliable, decent-paying jobs. But you know what? Now’s the time to get down to serious, real-world business. It’s high time we walk the talk, once and for all, in advancing a strategy to put people back to work. I’m supporting a bipartisan reform idea for restoring the state’s capital budget (some people call it the construction budget) to its appropriate standing. Yes, many Republicans as well as Democrats are backing this House Bill 2244, which we passed, 87-11, the other day in the House. The legislation is a concerted response to the capitalbudget message lawmakers have heard — since certain actions were taken in the 2013 legislative session

Guest OpiniOn State Rep. June RobinSon — from local businesspeople and from other community leaders. This message has come through loud and clear. The backstory here is the state’s Public Works Assistance Account (PWAA). A ton of this account’s funding help for extremely important local projects was swept away last year when the PWAA was raided. This “raid” on the state’s capital budget was undertaken because money was needed to fund other state programs in the state’s operating budget. The other projects were deemed even more important than PWAA projects. Our 2014 legislation would restore those public works resources. What we have here in the PWAA account is a partnership. It’s a classic win-win partnership pursued by our state and local communities that works toward job creation and infrastructural development.

Historically, the PWAA has fueled substantial economic growth. Thanks to the account, Washington communities for years and years have been able to get — and to keep — men and women back on the job of building vital public works projects. At the very same time, much-needed infrastructural development has come to cities, towns and neighborhoods that wouldn’t otherwise come. Last year’s PWAA raid has meant that very few new projects are funded for the current (2013-15) biennium. Local cities have had to go to the bond market. And for more than a few towns, bonding is not a good option. Not good at all. Leaders from our local business communities and from our local governments have streamed into our Capital Budget Committee meetings this year. They’ve underscored a simple, straightforward message: Terribly dire straits in other areas of the budget prompted last year’s Legislature to use PWAA money as a way to patch up serious holes. OK, we get that. But this year’s Legislature has some new, equally serious patching up to do. These citizens emphasize that erosion of key local programs whacks a brutal shiner on key local public works systems. PWAA

funding over the program’s many years has gone for projects directly enabling citizens and groups of citizens to build houses and businesses. Restoring the account is the mission of the legislation we’re moving through Olympia right now. This restoration will help put buildingand-trades people back to work. These very construction workers are among the folks slammed hardest by the recession. On any given day since 2008, after all, construction workers — 70,000 of them — have been off the job. Terms of the legislation encourage projects: n To get Washington people back to work. n To give the economy a genuine and long-term boost. n To grant local communities help in strengthening their infrastructure. Yes, the capital budget was assaulted last year — in the form of the raid on PWAA programs. Instead, we could have been putting folks to work constructing buildings and other parts of our infrastructure. We could have been injecting our economy with a boost to endure for generations. But no. Instead, we skimped on PWAA construction projects. Indeed, funding for schools, universities and other vital

components of the infrastructure was shoved off the table, slashed by billions of dollars. It doesn’t have to be that way. We can, and we must, build a better Washington. The reform advocated in HB 2244 will restore, in the next budget period, PWAA funds for many schools and other construction projects. It’s our surest path for steering away from the inertia in the current unconstructive construction budget policy. A bipartisan proposal providing important new funding help for vital school construction projects has just been introduced in the House. I believe this measure, House Bill 2797, would help answer very serious construction needs in our schools, as well as put people back to work. The legislation authorizes the sale of $700 million in bonds to pay both for building new, full-day kindergarten classrooms and for reducing class sizes in kindergarten through third grade.

State Rep. June Robinson, D-Everett, represents the 38th Legislative District in the Washington State Legislature. Her district includes Snohomish County neighborhoods and communities in Everett, Marysville and Tulalip.

River Rock Smoke Shop opens Cindy O’Neil signs Peter Mashak up for the raffle prize drawings during the grand opening of the River Rock Smoke Shop at I-5 Exit 210 on Feb. 28.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Stillaguamish Tribe’s third River Rock Smoke Shop opened with a full day of fanfare on Friday, Feb. 28, as the convenience store and gas station at 23704 13th Ave. NE, just off Interstate 5 at Exit 210, drew literally more cars than they had room for in their parking lot. “This is definitely better than we expected,” Store Director Michael Olguin said. “We thought we’d just have a small crowd, but the weather definitely helped. And so did the Sea Gals,” he laughed. While Stillaguamish

Tribe employees served up free hot dogs and drinks to visitors, a lengthy line stood waiting for autographed photos of themselves with Seattle Seahawks Sea Gals cheerleaders Mhkeeba and Michelle. “I saw that the Sea Gals would be here, but I also wanted to see what the price of gas would be out here,” said Chris Nerland, who wore her Seahawks colors as she scoped out the River Rock Smoke Shop’s one-of-a-kind walk-in refrigerated “Beer Cave.” “It’s really expensive back in Stanwood.” Store Manager Nettie McCully attributed the presence of the Beer Cave

to Olguin pushing for its installation. “He wanted to bring people in with something they wouldn’t normally see at a convenience store,” McCully said. “I think he nailed it, because it’s unique and already very popular.” McCully also expects that the newest River Rock Smoke Shop will attract new and returning customers alike through its fast and friendly service. The River Rock Smoke Shop at I-5 Exit 210 is starting out with 28 employees, but Olguin expects that number to grow quickly, thanks to its prime location for high volumes of traffic. “They’ve got a full selection of wine, beer and food, plus necessities like emergency auto supplies,” said John Cronin, marketing manager for the Stillaguamish Tribe’s Angel of the Winds Casino. Julie Pinneo, of Concrete, was among those who stopped by without even realizing that it was the store’s grand opening, since she was simply looking to get some gas. She wound up staying long enough to sign up for the raffle prize drawings, while Arlington’s Charlie Dawson came because his girlfriend and mother had heard the Sea Gals would be there. “I’ve got to support my Seahawks,” Dawson said, as he stepped inside the 6,000-square-foot convenience store to scope out its selection, which includes the same discount cigarette and tobacco inventory for which all three River Rock Smoke Shops are named. “It’s got a great location, right off the freeway.” Stillaguamish Tribal Chair Shawn Yanity basked in the warmth of the sun as the convenience store and its 16 fuel pumps, including diesel and propane, opened to serve the public. “This helps to promote the continuity of our businesses, which mean more jobs for local people,” Yanity said. “The gas taxes collected here will also help support the roads and infrastructure. The money we collect will help those in the surrounding community, so it’s great to see so many people here, partaking of our food, tobacco and other merchandise. The chicken strips they serve here are really good,” he laughed. For more information, log onto .

MARYSVILLE — The Doleshel family joined city of Marysville officials and community members in braving the brief snowfall to celebrate the transformation of their former farm into a passive nature park that’s now open to the public. Mike Doleshel recalled how the land purchased by his grandfather in 1922 served as an iris bulb farm, and then a dairy farm, before it became a Christmas tree farm. “We sold our first tree in 1986, and they became so popular that we couldn’t keep enough trees on site to meet the demand,” Doleshel said. “It paid for college for my three boys. With the pressures of urban development, though, that all came to a close in the 2000s.” After a ribbon-cutting ceremony to dedicate the new Doleshel Park on Saturday, Feb. 22, Mike and sister, Judy Maxwell, walked over the 6.4-acre park’s trail bridge across Allen Creek, whose construction was spearhead-

three resident deer here, and seeing them is quite magical.” “This obviously took longer than the six months we were originally expecting,” Jeff Vaughan said, as he addressed his fellow church volunteers. “I volunteered you without asking, but I knew you would step up to the task.” Vaughan echoed Ballew’s kind words for Marysville Parks Maintenance Manager Mike Robinson, for the role he played in making this project possible through his coordination efforts. Council members Kamille Norton and Donna Wright also attended the park dedication, and were joined by Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members.

ed by Eagle Scout Danyon Heacock, as they recalled how the surrounding area all used to be farmlands. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring joined city Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew in praising the citizens who volunteered more than 1,000 hours over the course of three years to conduct weeding, clipping, cutting and the removal of blackberry brambles on site, as well as laying mulch for the park’s trails. Among those whom they singled out were project leader Bruce Paquette and the Marysville stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including Steve Lebo, Shonn and Sabina Mereness, and even City Council member Jeff Vaughan and his wife Deanna. “It’s not a playground, but a place to enjoy nature,” said Ballew, who reiterated the role of former Council member Norma Jean Dierk in writing the application for a $511,300 grant from the Snohomish County Conservation Futures Fund to purchase the site. “We have

Season ends for Tomahawk girls BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Though it all came to a disappointing end on

Feb. 22, the Marysville-Pilchuck lady Tomahawks played some great basketball throughout the season. M-P’s season came to a halt

when they lost to Ferndale, 58-47, in its last loser-out game of the 3A District Tournament, finishing 5-8 in the league and 10-14

overall. The girls had a strong first half when they played Ferndale, but they couldn’t quite carry it over in the second half. “I feel we ran out of gas a little in the fourth quarter,” M-P head coach Julie Marsh said. “Ferndale went on a 10-0 run, but my girls were definitely fighters.” It wasn’t an easy season for the Tomahawks. M-P faced some tough teams, but fought its way to the loser-out bracket in Districts. “Our main goal at the beginning of the season was to make the playoffs, and qualify for State,” Martin said. “We came up short, but we did put in a huge run at the end, and the fire these girls had was outstanding.” During their playoff run in Districts, the Tomahawks lost their first game to Glacier Peak on Feb. 12, but they bounced back to defeat Shorecrest, 51-49, on Feb. 15, and Meadowdale, 51-24, on Feb. 19.

Losing seven seniors in the next season, Martin said the future will be hard to predict. “It will be neat to see who steps up and puts in the time, as well as a welcoming environment for any freshmen who want to put in the time to earn a spot,” she said. “It should be very interesting, but exciting overall.” Though it was hard enough for the season to end, saying farewell to the seniors will also be hard on Marsh. “I am truly going to miss this bunch tremendously,” Marsh said. “I thank God every day that I have been able to be a part of their lives.” Marsh hopes to have influenced the girls she has worked with over the years. “I am so proud of how these girls have matured over the season, not only on the court but off the court as well,” Marsh said. “They really learned how to play to win, and overcome adverse situations.”

Tulalip Heritage heads to State Tournament BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — The Tulalip Heritage boys basketball team topped its competition in the regional playoff game against Wilbur Creston on Feb. 28. With their victory over the Wildcats, the Hawks are on their way to the quarter finals in the WIAA 1B State Tournament in Spokane. “We set a goal on Nov. 18 as a family to get to State,” Tulalip head coach Marlin Fryberg said. “In order to do that, we had to put in a lot of work in practice.” The Hawks soared over the Wildcats, taking a 81-64 victory, but it didn’t come without a fight from Creston. “They had a couple of tough kids,” Fryberg said. “Those kids are darn good basketball players.” Tulalip was able to lead Creston the entire game, but the Wildcats had a couple of runs on the Hawks, nearly catching up. “We calmed them down,” Fryberg said. “The kids have been in that environment before.” It was the consistent

3-point shooting and defensive plays that made the difference in the night. The boys did not want to go home. “What you saw there tonight was hard work and dedication,” Fryberg said. “They put in a lot of work this year to be 25-1.” The Hawks showed that they could shoot. Tulalip sophomore guard Ayrik Miranda hit four 3-pointers in the game. He was also Tulalip’s lead scorer, hitting for 22 points. Tulalip senior forward Keanu Hamilton was also an offensive force, hitting for 19 points. He made two 3-pointers. On defense, Tulalip senior guard Bradley Fryberg caused steals and turnovers throughout the game, and contributed 11 points on offense. The team used last season’s defeat in Regionals as inspiration to go to State this year. “Last year, when we played this loser-out game, we lost,” Fryberg said. “So we carried that all summer long, and the boys in the locker room said, ‘The monkey’s off our back now. We’re going to State.’

We’re there and we’re very pleased.” From the tip, the Hawks sank two 3-pointers over the Wildcats to start off the first quarter. With another unanswered goal and 3-pointer, the Hawks were soaring over the Wildcats 11-0 in the first quarter. The Wildcats fought back and clawed their way out of the hole by hitting eight unanswered points. With the score at 13-8, the Wildcats had a chance, but not with another run by the Hawks. The Hawks extended their lead again, with the score at 22-15 at the end of the first quarter. Tulalip hit six 3-pointers in the opening quarter. The second quarter began with the Wildcats heating up on offense. Creston got on the Hawks’ tail, making the score 23-20, but Tulalip weathered the storm again. The Hawks broke away with another run that had them leading the Wildcats 42-29 at halftime. Though Tulalip entered the second half with a considerable point lead, the Wildcats were far from

done. Creston assembled another offensive drive that had them less then 10 points behind Tulalip at the end of the third quarter, with the score at 58-52. The Wildcat rally carried over into the final quarter. At the start, the Wildcats nearly caught up to the Hawks, with the score at 58-54. “I just told them to calm down, execute and make our foul-shots,” Fryberg said. The Hawks cut the Wildcats’ comeback short by hitting two goals and another 3-pointer by Miranda. The Hawks’ defense turned on at the right time, creating turnovers which disrupted the rhythm of the Wildcats. “Defense is what wins games,” Fryberg said. The Hawks’ defense and scoring allowed them to dominate the final quarter and allowed some of the younger players some playtime. With Tulalip back in the lead, all the Hawks had to do was execute and hold onto their lead, which ulti-

mately won them a trip to Spokane. On March 6, the Hawks lost to Neah Bay at Spokane

Arena, 67-60. They played Wellpinit on March 7, but results were not available by press time.

Arts & Technology ceremony recognizes athletes BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Arts and Technology High School held an awards ceremony on March 3, honoring several students and their achievements.

Members of Arts and Tech’s bowling team, the Penguins, were among the students recognized for their athletic achievements. “Out of all the teams that voted in Division 2, we were voted as most inspirational,” Arts and Technology head coach

Gary Schopf said. After being bumped up from Division 3 to Division 2, the Penguins placed fourth in the State Tournament Feb. 15-16. They were only one point from placing third, and half a point from tying for third. The team went down to Tacoma to compete at Narrows Plaza Lanes. “The kids bowled above and beyond,” Schopf said. “We’ve always been the third division, but now they went up a division. Since its inception, the Penguins have came a long way as bowlers. Many of the bowlers from the team have not had prior experience in the sport, so Schopf had to start from scratch in training the bowlers.

Schopf added that bowling should be introduced to anyone since it is a sport that is often overlooked. “It’s a great deal to start these kids early,” he said. “To be competitive, it’s nice to get them in with a little bit of experience.” Schopf said one of the things they took advantage

of in the award ceremony was talking to the younger siblings of bowlers, and trying to capture their interests. “We just hope we can get the program going,” he said. Existing as a team for three years, the Penguins are now in Division 2. “Moving up to Division 2 is a nice feather on our cap,” he said.

The bowling team also said goodbye to seniors Jared James, Joel Scott and Bailey Self. Two swimmers were also recognized at the ceremony. Senior Grant Baker and sophomore Jason Wykes swam for MarysvillePilchuck High School’s swimming team.

Marysville-Pilchuck hosts Hoops for Hope badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck High School held its 20th annual Hoops for Hope charity game on March 4 in M-P’s gymnasium. The program was started in the 1980s to help raise money for students who needed wheelchairs or other assistive equipment for their disabilities. The charity was initiated to help former M-P basketball manager Billy Fale obtain a wheelchair. “We had a basketball manager who couldn’t afford a wheelchair, so he had to slide around on the ground,” M-P activities coordinator Dick Caldwell said. “They brought in enough money to get him

a wheelchair.” “He was the basketball manager for [former M-P basketball coach] Mike Lowery for several years. He was an incredible kid,” M-P football coach and counselor Scott Stokes said. “Mike started this event and it was popular.” The event has been held ever since. Lowery was M-P’s head coach for 22 years before his successor, Bary Gould, took over in 2005. Fale worked with Lowery under his legendary reign. “We had some great managers, and Billy was among the greatest,” Stokes said. The event pitted M-P and Marysville Getchell in four periods of basketball. The first period started with M-P female faculty ver-

sus MG female faculty, and the second period was M-P male faculty versus MG male faculty. The third period featured M-P girls versus MG girls, and the fourth quarter had M-P boys versus MG boys. The boys and girls who participated in the second half were a mix of basketball players and students. Spectators donated upon entry, some even went above and beyond in donations. “It’s advertised as $3 or $5, but it’s really just a donation,” Caldwell said. “Some people give $20, and I counted the 20s and there was over $500.” The last time the school raised enough money to buy assistive equipment was two years ago. “Two years ago, we had a girl with multiple sclerosis,” Caldwell said. “We

were able to get her a wheelchair.” The turnout was a little light this year, but Caldwell said that had there been a student in need, there would’ve been a lot more attendees. “It’s a little small this year,” he said. “If we had a situation where we had a kid who really needed it, the stands would be full.” “The money goes into an account at our high school,” Caldwell said. “And then, any student that needs equipment, they just apply that money from our school.” The donated money goes to M-P. “It doesn’t go to an outside source, so there aren’t administrative fees,” Caldwell said. “All the dollars go to the actually charity.”

‘Princess & Pirate Breakfast Bowl’ debuts at Strawberry Lanes whole family can take part in, so we’ve been looking for new activities for a while now,” Kingsford said. “Not only are princesses and pirates very popular among kids, but they allow both boys and girls to get involved.” Kingsford thanked Strawberry Lanes for their generosity in agreeing to host the Breakfast Bowl, which Kingsford expects will return to the bowling alley on a yearly basis each spring, but she also credited the success of the event to the activities it included in addition to bowling. “The families really seemed to love having the arts- and crafts-making mixed in with the bowling,” Kingsford said.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Strawberry Lanes drew close

to two dozen children and adults alike, dressed up in Disney-style finery for the city of Marysville’s first “Princess & Pirate Breakfast Bowl” on the morning of Sunday, March 2. City of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Andrea Kingsford reported that the event’s debut registered 27 attendees, and was planned to serve as an annual followup to the city’s highly popular Father/Daughter Valentine’s Dance. “Every year around this time, we have folks who are interested in events that the

“It helped keep the kids busy while they were waiting their turns on the lanes. We started out with just the kids making crafts, but by the end, both kids and adults were busy at work.” “We’ve been looking for something new to do for a while now,” said Kristie Johnson, as she helped outfit her daughter, princess Savannah Stanton, with a tinfoil-and-paper-cup pirate’s hook. “Between the breakfast and the games, this offers a great variety for a good price.” “It’s great that Marysville can provide something like this,” said Alysha Williamson, mother to fellow princess-turned-pirate

Ava. “Being able to do arts and crafts with her gives us both some fun activities for the weekend. It’s a wonderful outlet for all these kids’ energy.” Pirate Elijah Melum and his dad Brice were looking for an athletic activity that wouldn’t overtax Elijah, who has a heart defect, so the relatively leisurely demands of bowling seemed, pardon the pun, right up their alley. “I love seeing all these kids happy and enjoying themselves,” Brice Melum said, after Elijah won one of the Breakfast Bowl’s costume contests.

Name: Buddy Animal ID 222101807 Species: Cat Breed: Domestic Longhair/Mix Age: Adult Sex: Male Size: Medium Color: Brown/Tan Spayed/Neutered: Yes Declawed: No Housetrained: Yes

Meet Buddy! This guy is a love bug! He's lived with other pets and specifically appreciated the company of another cat. He's pretty easy going, loves toys and enjoys stretching on his scratching post. Buddy has been declawed, so he'll need an indoor-only home. Check out Buddy today!

Name: Nikki Animal ID: 22090709 Species: Dog Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: Young Sex: Female Size: Medium Color: Copper/Black Spayed/Neutered: Yes Declawed:No Housetrained:Yes

Are you looking for a project? Come meet 5 month old Nikki! She is in a very active stage of stranger danger. The shelter staff has been working with her on a daily basis and she has shown great improvement. At this point she will do best in an adult only home and would benefit of having a friendly canine friend to show her the ropes. If you have the time and patience to help her work through her fears she will make a wonderful companion.

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