ARLINGTON – Some Marysville students had a little more bounce in their steps during winter break.

The Marysville-Pilchuck Memorial Fundraiser group, in conjunction with Absolute Air Park in Arlington, allowed Marysville students to play on the trampolines at a discount.

It was one of a number of activities set up by the M-P Memorial group to give students something positive to do over the break. Other activities included bowling, the YMCA and more. “It’s neat the community pulled together for the kids,” said Noreen Moen, who brought four students to the air park.

One of the students goes to M-P High School, where the tragic shooting took place two months ago. The activities were set up specifically to help kids like that. Moen said the events are helping her daughter deal with Steve Powell/Staff Photo the tragedy.

“It helps her to be with her friends,” Moen Marysville students and adults received a discount at the said. air park to give them something positive to do.

Tim Salcedo, general manager at the air park, said the business was glad to help.

“Anything that AAP can do to help out the community we try and participate,” he said, adding they did the same thing soon after the tragedy.

Even though not that many kids came Dec. 29 Salcedo said it still felt good to help.

“The day went well, the turnout was great for the kids who came and jumped!” he said.

Jeni Westby was another mom who brought not only her own kids, but others, too. She was happy the event was set up.

“It helps the budget and gives them exercise,” Westby said.

Her daughter, McKenna, also went bowling at an event set up last week at Strawberry Lanes in Marysville.

“It’s kind of cool,” McKenna said. “It gives us something to do in the winter.”

For some, it was their first time at the air park. But for others, like 15-year-old Jake Mathern, the air park is a nice facility, and it’s a good idea to give kids something fun to do.

“I like the foam pit and dodge ball,” he said.

STORieS FROM Page 1 2. MARYSVILLE – Police Sgt. Jim Maples was shot when Hans Hansen, 43, of Granite Falls went on a three-city shooting spree.

After shooting up Granite Falls and Lake Stevens, then shooting at Marysville police, Hansen drove his pickup at Maples. As the truck got closer, Maples felt severe pain in his lower leg and dropped to the ground.

Officers arrived to help the sergeant, placing a tourniquet on his leg. Maples, who has been with the department for 19 years, was rushed to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, where he was treated and released.

Hansen was shot in the head by Marysville police.

He has since recovered and been charged.

3. ARLINGTON – “The World’s Friendliest Casino” at Angels of the Winds north of Arlington now has “The World’s Friendliest Hotel.” The $27 million hotel opened for business Dec. 15. Cost of the 125 rooms over five floors ranges from $114 to $279 a night. The casino added 57 employees to staff the hotel.

MARYSVILLE

–

Rhyan Vasquez embarrassed Marysville police by escaping from the jail Sept.

22. Even more embarrassing, no one noticed until his attorney came to see him 44 hours later.

Jail Cmdr. Wendy Wade said inmates are supposed to be counted four times a day. Wade said some changes already have been made, such as the door where Vasquez escaped out of is now locked all the time.

5. ARLINGTON – For 9 1/2 years, Byron Wright’s family held out hope that he was still alive. But he wasn’t. He was killed almost 10 years before by his wife, Michele Donohue, in their rural home in the hills between Arlington and Marysville. In the heat of an argument, Donohue stabbed Wright multiple times in the head and neck.

Despite his pleas she let him bleed to death. With an axe and knife she cut him up in her kitchen. She then buried the dismembered body under 36 yards of dirt.

Years later Wright’s family was told by Donohue that he had run off with another woman. But the truth came to light when Michael Huselein, one of the friends who helped rebury Wright’s body, unwittingly told a jail infor-

mant in December 2013 about the killing. Police issued a search warrant for Donohue’s property on Feb. 13, 2014. Police broke apart the concrete at 8121 Wade Road and found Wright’s remains.

6. MARYSVILLE – Caldie Rogers resigned after 22 years as president and chief executive officer of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce.

She has a terminal illness.

In 1992 Rogers started building a bridge over Interstate 5 to join together the Marysville and Tulalip communities.

She has been a leader in the area on a number of key issues, and has won state and national awards.

7. ARLINGTON – The Arlington Food Pavilion closed suddenly after 55 years in Arlington on Oct. 14, surprising customers and workers alike.

The chain already had closed stores in Mount Vernon, Burlington and Bellingham.

Workers blamed larger chains for taking away business.

8. MARYSVILLE — City voters approved a twotenths of a percent salestax measure that paved the way for fixing roads, taking

care of unmet transportation needs, and improving pedestrian and bicycle safety and access.

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.

9. SMOKEY POINT — Only one recreational marijuana retailer has opened in Marysville or Arlington.

In the middle of summer, Brad Kihm and his mother, Lisa, opened the doors to Cascade Kropz at 19129 Smokey Point Blvd.

Marysville has banned such businesses.

10. MARYSVILLE – Fireworks are popular for residents of Marysville, but 2015 could be the last year for them.

The City Council has a committee that is looking into an outright ban on fireworks for the Fourth of July.

Council members say complaints against fireworks have increased over the years.

Police Chief Rick Smith said 28 people were cited for fireworks use on July 3 and

Thank You

11. ARLINGTON – An icon in downtown Marysville has been saved by a local church.

The historic Olympic Theatre and the vacant Best Cafe and Steakhouse next door are getting new life thanks to Lifeway Foursquare Church, which plans to reopen the theater and repurpose the restaurant as a not-for-profit coffeehouse.

The iconic single-screen theater closed in July, after 75 years of operation.

12. MARYSVILLE – Thousands of youngsters flocked to Comeford Park in Marysville this summer as the city opened its popular Spray Park.

The “sprayground” features an array of spray units that shoot from the ground.

But perhaps the most innovated of features is that all watering apparatuses are hand-operated.

The park will open again this summer.

13. ARLINGTON – Interstate 5 bridge work over the Stillaguamish River tied up traffic for months.

Mowat Construction had a window of 120 days to replace the southbound bridge deck, and some of the steel frame underneath.

Mowat actually finished the job early. The cost of the project was $8.7 million.

14. LAKEWOOD — After first looking at a major remodel, the Lakewood School District has decided to build a new high school for about the same cost.

Voters approved the bond to improve the existing school back in May, but their money will get them a completely new school instead. Lakewood Superintendent Michael Mack explained that value engineers who toured LHS offered a surprising observation.

Dec. 8.

Weed is known for his wit, humor and puns during his 24 years as city attorney.

Weed resigned because he said the city has grown too much to hire outside legal help. It needs its own staff. The city is in the process of hiring a legal department now.

16. ARLINGTON – Arlington Police Chief Nelson Beazley resigned amid reports that the department was not doing a good job.

Bruce Stedman has taken over as Public Safety Director, leading that department, plus the fire department. Beazley had served in the position for three and a half years.

17. MARYSVILLE – The school district opened a state-of-the-art $10.75 million Transportation Center, with the help of the Lakewood School District and the state, which kicked in $8.16 million.

The district now has a 37,816 square foot shop and office building at 4302 134th St. NE. The local part of the cost, $2.6 million, actually was left over from a bond passed in 2008 to build Marysville Getchell High and Grove Elementary.

18. ARLINGTON - A 25-year-old Arlington man has been charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend. Jessica Jones, also 25, of Tulalip died April 9.

Daniel Lyle Rinker allegedly shot Jones in the head during an argument April 8.

She died the next day at a Seattle hospital.

19. MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck graduating senior Chris Franklin walked June 11 in spite of a critical injury sustained weeks prior.

The injury was an accidental gunshot wound entering Chris’ spine, just missing a vital artery.

Not only did Franklin walk at graduation at Comcast Arena in Everett, but he also attended prom days before.

20. ARLINGTON – A rift took place between some City Council members and city staff over salaries.

Council Members Marilyn Oertle and Debora Nelson spoke against the increases at a council meeting. They wanted staff to provide comparable salaries of cities the same size. They also wanted exact numbers instead of generalizations.

Others said the information was available if they would have sought it out.

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

I want to extend my best wishes to the citizens and families in Marysville for a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year.

The city accomplished a lot in 2014 in the areas of positioning public finances for the long range, reducing crime, improving our transportation and utility infrastructure, enhancing our parks and trail system, and expanding our delivery of core public services.

With the New Year just around the corner, Marysville residents can look forward to seeing many new projects and initiatives that will continue to hold the city in solid well-being for the next several years.

This progress comes at the hands of hours of planning, from elected officials and department members, business leaders, citizens and organizations working together to identify and prioritize investments that will bring out the best in this community of Marysville where we live, work and play.

Investing back into our community is about public safety, streets and roads, parks, neighborhoods, downtown, and job creation and retention. Marysville also has several Public Works projects on tap for 2015 that will help improve traffic flow and maintain the integrity of our sewer and water utilities against future growth.

Here are highlights: • State Avenue improvement project widening from three to five lanes from 116th Street.

• Transportation Benefit District pavement preservation projects, including overlays for 67th north to 108th.

• Shoulder and sidewalk improvements serving some local schools are being pursued, depending in part on successful acquisition of safety grants.

• Corridor safety improvements along State Avenue.

• Interchange Justification Report to build a new I-5/SR 529 full interchange that requires permitting, design and federal approval before proceeding to construction • Third Street retrofit project that will use low-impact development downtown.

• Sunnyside Well Treatment Project.• Edward Springs water right utilization to help with water rates stability.

• Whiskey Ridge Sewer Pump Station.

• Sunnyside Well Treatment Project.

• Central Marysville expansion of garbage service and replacement of three solid waste trucks.

Parks and Recreation is focused on the renovation of Neighborhood Parks this year with improvements slated for Tuscany Ridge Park and Parkside Way Park.

Master planning will happen this year for the Mother Nature’s Window Park, which will provide design and cost estimates for proposed development.

We are very excited to begin work in 2015 on providing shoreline access in the development of the Qwuloolt Trail project, which will provide a trail from Ebey Waterfront Park towards Sunnyside Hills and another trail from Harborview Park to the Slough.

Summer programs and events will be announced this winter and will include something for the entire community.

Local sailor honored for work

ARLINGTON – Petty Officer Marco Wood, a native of Arlington, was named Senior Sailor of the Year Dec. 12 at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

Wo o d assisted with the drafting and implementation of a new Self Help Wood mentorship program that provided a solid mentor/mentee relationship among 18 sailors.

He led the sailors in the production of more than 75 construction projects throughout Navy Region Hawaii, worth an excess of $1.5 million.

Additionally, he instituted a training plan that led to a 50 percent increase in advancement scores and three sailors advancing to the next pay grade.

Youth academy graduates 3 locals

The Washington Youth Academy celebrated the graduation of three students from the Arlington and Marysville areas during

commencement ceremonies on Dec. 20.

The students include Anthony Rodriguez of Arlington, and Jayden Kyle and Mitchell VonRuden of Marysville.

The students were among 144 graduates.

The class is the largest to graduate from the Youth Academy since its first class in January of 2009.

This year’s cadets donated more than 11,000 hours of community service worth an estimated value of $273,000.

The mission of the academy is to provide a disciplined, safe and professional learning environment that empowers at-risk youth to improve their educational levels and employment potential and become responsible and productive citizens.

Summer activities will kick off with the opening of the Spray Park on Memorial Day weekend at Comeford Park followed by the Healthy Communities Challenge Day, which will be held on June 6.

Look for new dates for Outdoor concert venues and our popular Popcorn in the Parks Movie Series at Jennings Park.

Marysville Police, the Fire District and several other agencies ended 2014 responding to the tragic fatal shooting at MarysvillePilchuck High School.

All of them conducted themselves with the utmost level of professionalism, leadership integrity and courage. Our police continue to drive crime down around the community and keep citizens safe.

In 2015, our police will continue to focus on reducing overall crime by 20 percent by enhancing our community partnership programs. 2014 saw an increase in active Neighborhood Watch Programs and our Business Watch Program will be given greater focus.

We have reduced major crimes by more than 7 percent. We will be adding one detective position in 2015 to help with sex offender tracking and monitoring, as well as to assist with case investigations.

Among new initiatives, we will be partnering with the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, Lake Stevens police and the Stillaguamish police to create a Regional Property Crimes Unit to address property crimes in the north end of the county.

This is an endeavor to reduce all property crimes that plague our community and will combine an element that will look at drug use and abuse with an effort to help potentially provide services to those who are addicted. No additional staff will be added for this new unit.

Among facilities projects, the city is studying the need to expand the jail and Public Safety Building where the jail is located. We anticipate that police communication and record systems will be upgraded to help better serve citizens.

Within the Executive Department, renewed emphasis is being put on emergency management, which would involve more outreach and coordination of neighborhood-level disaster planning and emergency management preparedness.

In 2015, the city will also establish an inhouse Legal Department to include a fulltime City Attorney and existing legal and prosecutor’s office staff. Marysville has been the largest city in Washington state without an in-house Legal Department, contracting out city attorney services.

We have reached the point where it is more cost effective and will better serve the community to move in this direction.

Community Development in the New Year will conduct an update of the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

The long-range growth management planning document will include a full review of land use and transportation elements, along with overall policies for city land use and development.

Special focus will key on transportation and the Lakewood area, and projects to help with mobility such as pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and other non-motorized uses.

I look forward to meeting and working with Marysville citizens as we move forward to do great things in our community in the New Year for which we can all be proud at the end of the day.

IN OUR VIEW

Praise and raze Praise to the Marysville School District for approving a Native American curriculum for students. It is long overdue.

Knowledge is the best tool for breaking down barriers.

Praise to the Snohomish County Red Cross for recognizing local heroes. So much good goes on in this community.

Events like that help bring some of it to the forefront.

Praise to those who attended the Marysville School District meeting on what to do with the cafeteria at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Sounds like if at all possible it needs to come down.

Praise to Peter Condyles, 16, for giving Christmas bulbs to the Marysville City Council year after year. What a sweet gesture we all can learn from.

Praise to Grant Weed, who has stepped down as city attorney after 24 years so Marysville can hire its own staff.

Thank you for your service.

Praise to the state auditor’s office for taking its time on the findings regarding Arlington. The auditor needs to get it right so if there are any problems they are fixed.

Praise to everyone who participated in Christmas events in Arlington and Marysville. The towns work hard on them, so it is great to see when the communities support the efforts.

Raze to 2014. Sure, many good things happened. But the two national tragedies that occurred here means we are ready for 2015.

Praise to the food banks in Arlington and Marysville for all they do in helping poor families at Christmas time. The food they provide helps hundreds have a healthy, traditional meal. And the toys they provide help needy children not feel left out. Of course, all the food banks do would not be possible without the donations of so many.

Praise to Arlington preschool teacher Heide Scrimgeour for winning Teacher of the Year honors.

Praise to all who took the time to put up Christmas lights this holiday season. It was so much fun to drive around at night and see all the displays in both Arlington and Marysville.

Community makes CTE work Career and Technical Education is offered in almost every high school in our area, but most people know little about it and the purpose behind it. CTE offers the community an opportunity to engage in the development of educational programs that meet the unique needs of its community workforce in high-demand, high-wage fields. Every CTE course falls into one of 16 “career clusters.” A cluster is a group of jobs and industries that are related by skills or products. Some examples are: Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Hospitality and Tourism, Manufacturing and Health Science. In addition to traditional programming requirements, CTE programs have a local advisory structure, requires staff to attain CTE certification, requires approval of course offerings through the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and also must connect those offerings to a recognized Career and Technical Student Organization.

CTE programs are fostered through an advisory committee structure. Each program area staff member works with a Program Advisory Committee. This PAC is made up of community members employed in the industry who give input and support to that specific school program. This allows staff to provide current programming and skills to students and for employers to have candidates who are prepared to enter the workforce with minimal additional training required. One member of each PAC then serves on the General Advisory Committee.

The role of the GAC is that of

general oversight, approving new courses and texts before engaging in the district approval process, approval of course frameworks, approving conditional certification of staff who do not have their CTE credentials and serving as the conduit of information between the programs and the community.

One of the most important roles in the spring of PAC is to complete an evaluation of the program being offered to students and help set goals and next steps for program development.

These evaluations are then taken to the Grubbs GAC for a comprehensive review of our overall CTE program and its alignment with the economic development needs for Snohomish County and our local community.

While there are 16 recognized career clusters, there are many courses offered under each cluster.

For example, Medical Careers is a course that Arlington High School offers under the Health Sciences career cluster. To develop a course, CTE staff must create a “framework” for each course that outlines the units of instruction and assessments. These are aligned to the Common Core Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, Industry Standards for that area, and 21st Century Skills. Washington state’s recent contracting with Precision Exams, allows CTE instructors to assess students’ progress toward industry standards, and gives students the opportunity to earn

a certificate of competency on those skills and can be shared with employers. Many CTE courses are articulated with the local community colleges, allowing students to earn Tech Prep credit (college credit) at no cost to the student.

Opportunities to continue to learn and develop their skills are facilitated through the Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) connected to courses.

CTSOs that we offer in Arlington, and are familiar to our community, are Future Farmers of America (FFA), Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA), Technology Student Association (TSA) and Skills USA. Students in these programs contribute to our community through service and participate in competitive events at a district, state, national and international level.

As we work to ensure Career and College Readiness for all students, CTE plays an integral role.

It allows students to evaluate their strengths and interests and develop their skills they are passionate about while supporting the economic needs of their community.

We are so blessed and thankful to have the time, commitment and energy of the community members involved in our CTE advisory committees.

It is their support and collaboration with our dedicated CTE instructors that allows the program to embrace a culture of continuous improvement and innovation and benefits the overall Arlington community.

Amie Verellen-Grubbs is the principal and CTE Director

Five new homebuyer resolutions

Happy 2015! As always, new years mean new resolutions. Soon, we’ll see joggers in their spanking new running shoes trudging and panting along roads and trails. Registration at the YMCA will skyrocket, and for a little while, fitness center parking lots will be full of hopeful exercisers. You have to love the collective optimism that binds us all together every January. And who knows? Maybe this is the year we’ll all lose those unwanted pounds for good.

But this column isn’t about diet or exercise. This column is a plea for resolutions from a different group of people: homebuyers.

When working with buyers, the role of your agent is a combination of counselor, teacher, warrior and cheerleader. He or she will do everything they can to negotiate a good deal for

you and secure the home you want. To that end, some things make the job easier (and result in an easier transaction for y o u ) .

Consider the following resolutions a Woodward gentle n u d g e from someone who has your best interests in mind: 1. I will get pre-approved by a lender before beginning the search for a new home, and I will resist the urge to look at homes priced higher than what I am preapproved to buy.

Why? A pre-approval letter makes you look both ready and serious (and therefore more attractive) to a seller. In a multipleoffer situation, a buyer with

a pre-approval has a giant advantage over one without. As to staying within your price boundaries, the simple fact is that looking at more expensive homes only makes you discontent with the homes you can afford.

2. I will resist the temptation to search for homes on one of the popular apps, but will instead search real estate websites.

Why? Sites like Zillow and Trulia are not run by Realtors; they’re run by marketers who make their money by attracting as many people as they can to their sites. To do this, they will often keep homes on the site long after they’ve been sold. This keeps their inventory high (which attracts more homebuyers), but also creates frustration.

Why get your hopes up about a house that actually sold three weeks ago? When

you confine your search to actual real estate websites, you can be sure that the status of the home you see is in real time. Also, real estate agents and firms see new listings on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) immediately. It can take up to nine days for a listing to appear on Zillow and Trulia. And in this market, you can’t afford to be nine days late.

3. I will make a priority list that includes one or two deal-breakers (such as size or location), then a few high wants (such as an upgraded kitchen or a bonus room), and finally a short list of things that would be nice, but aren’t necessary ... and I won’t reject a house based on those bottom items.

Why? You don’t want to lose an otherwise wonderful house simply because you

5

don’t like the cabinets.

4. I will keep in mind that no home is perfect, and no home will have everything I’m looking for.

Why? Buyers often believe that the perfect house is out there, and our job is to track it down. In actuality, even people who build their own homes from the ground up (and I am one of those) will tell you that they would change a dozen things if they could do it over. Aim instead for a 90 percent perfect home.

5. I will trust that when my Realtor says, “We need to see this house now,” he or she knows what they’re talking about, and I will make the effort to see the homes my Realtor suggests. Why? In a seller’s market, or in a market with low inventory, homes can be snatched up quickly. Your Realtor knows when time is of the essence.

She was arrested for theft and told to report before a judge. However, rather than send her home without anything at all, Ingram purchased $185 of goods the woman and her child could use, including gifts.

Now that’s what community policing is all about.

Dog blessed

While I strive to be a good person, there have been times when that wasn’t my goal, usually because of the absence of love. Over this past holiday a great stress was placed at my door, the potential loss of love, my dog. I understand there are children dying of cancer, and that today about 8,000

and broken I sat there bawling at the prospect of losing the last great thing in my life for no other reason than I lacked enough money to pay for the surgery.

The doctor and her staff cut their charges by more than half, and I began selling my hunting gear and begging my family for enough money to save him.

The doctor volunteered to give him post operation care on Christmas, along with a spouse in tow, when most people were at home celebrating.

So many people don’t understand the depth of love or the special love some of us have for our pets, but they are family, and mine is my only child.

With all of the negative police press lately, your readers should know what kind of police they have taking care of their community.

Arlington officer Molly Ingram, out on patrol Christmas Eve, was called to Walmart responding to a report of theft. The woman in question was a single mother with four little girls and very little money. In her cart was healthy food, Christmas gifts for her girls

people will awaken for their last day on Earth, but he really brought love into my life when there was none.

On Christmas Eve he was at the emergency room with a 50/50 chance, and sadly my desire to love anything began to dissipate.

Then, the staff at Arlington Animal Hospital and their families sacrificed their time to save my best friend and perform surgery.

His mom was put to sleep in January, my wife left two weeks later, a partner embezzled all the money from my company forcing it to close, and I had to take a protection order out against my landlady because she was poisoning my dog, stalking me and breaking into my home while I was out.

Pilchuck Soccer Alliance StrikeForce Girls U17 won the state title Dec. 14 in Tukwila.

Tied 0-0 after 90 minutes and two 5-minute overtimes, it came down to a shootout, which Pilchuck won 3-1 over Federal Way FC. Pilchuck goalie Jourdyn Tollum stood out in the contest.

“In our five-year history we have drilled into the players that defense is what matters on the field.

From the forwards to the defenders they know their job is to not allow any shots on goal, and it showed as they shut out every team in the tournament,” co-Coach Cary Stuart said.

ARLINGTON – Even though the Arlington Aviators lost at the Tacoma Stars 9-1 Dec. 20, stand-in coach James Doherty said goalie Erik Cruz stood out.

Pakistani students want to tell others about their country

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

Steve Powell/Staff Photo

Rashid Rehman puts a turban on teacher Johnny Booker.

Fatima Saeed

“The prophet says we’re supposed to smile at every person we see,” Fatima said.

Fatima lives in north Pakistan, where there are houses ranging from mud to castles. Rashid lives in the south in a village. His dad is a laborer.

They both agreed school is easier in the states. In Pakistan they go to school six days a week from kindergarten through their sophomore years. Then they have to pass national exams to go to college and then a university.

work in south Pakistan are mostly teachers, but Fatima said she wants to be an environmental engineer. She said her mother is a college graduate, and her dad has worked in safety in the oil fields for 30 years. Her passion is physics and math, and she has two younger brothers.

“I need to show them the path they need to go,” she said.

Rashid has four brothers and two sisters. Two of his older brothers are in the military. He had thought about joining them, but

MARYSVILLE – All Muslims are not terrorists.

But ever since Sept. 11, 2001, some Americans think they are.

So, Youth Exchange KLES has been involved with the American Consulate in sending Muslims to the states since then to exchange cultures.

“You know us, we know you,” Fatima Saeed of Pakistan said.

Just recently, a school in Pakistan was victimized by terrorists as dozens of schoolchildren were slain.

Fatima and Rashid Rehman, a junior at Marysville Getchell High School, condemned those actions, and said their country is fighting to reduce those acts of terrorism.

Rashid said it was an act of revenge at a military school. The terrorists asked all of those with fathers in the Army to stand up.

When they did, they were shot.

“This is a huge loss of Pakistan because those students were a great part of our future. May their souls rest in peace,” Rashid said.

Fatima and Rashid have been in the local area since August. As part of their foreign exchange program they are supposed to inform

others about their country.

But they are both running into some roadblocks at school. Their presentations are limited to their own classes because schoolwide assemblies are booked for 2014-15.

So, they would like to be able to speak to community organizations, such as churches, civic groups, chambers, etc. While the presentations they give at school are more general information, they both said they can tailor their Power Points to the desires of the audience.

Rashid said while everyone in Pakistan knows where the United States is by age 5, many in high school don’t have any idea where Pakistan is. He said he gets asked weird questions, too, like, “Do you ride camels to school?”

Rashid said many things in the United States are different, some better, some worse.

“People are more frank,” he said. “They smile every time.”

Fatima concurred.

Back home “if a stranger smiled at you – there’s something wrong with that guy – they’d stare back like they’d want to eat him,” Fatima said.

She added that’s exactly the opposite of what they are supposed to do.

“It’s easier here, too easy,” Fatima said, adding she’s taking Advanced Placement calculus, which she took last year in Pakistan.

They agreed student behavior also is different here.

“They’re on their cell phones, and they can eat and drink anything they want,” Rashid said. “We can’t do that. It distracts students from concentrating.”

Fatima said school security is tighter in Pakistan due to the threat of terrorism.

Rashid said women who

they advised him to become a scholar.

“They guide me, I guide them” (his younger siblings), he said.

Rashid said he enjoys his American folks, Lloyd and Jacqueline Trout, but Fatima had a rough start with her first American home. She was placed in another one that she just loves.

“They’re awesome,” she said. “Their get togethers are so Pakistani” with the cooking, sports, politics...

Sports are not as big in Pakistan as they are here, Rashid said, adding cricket and hockey are the most popular ones.

Fatima, a junior at Cascade in Everett, said there are some students who are just into sports, parties and video games like in America, but there are many more who focus on academics and helping others.

Rashid and some of his friends actually have started an organization that helps others in society.

Fatima wears a covering over her head called a hijab.

She said doing that has become a personal choice in Pakistan.

“Religion defines your culture,” Fatima said of the Islam tradition.

“It means that you respect yourself and others in front of you. Modern people forget religion.”

3 disagree ARLINGTON – Three City Council members have called out colleague Marilyn Oertle for comments she made regarding salary information.

Council Members Jan Schuette, Jesica Stickles and Mayor Pro Tem Chris Raezer said information was available, if she only made the effort to get it.

“Paul Ellis and other city staff offered to meet with us; go over any figures and really dive into the details as much or as little as we saw fit,” the letter says.

“Several of us took advantage of that offer … you chose not to do that.”

Oertle declined comment for this story.

In an interview, Schuette said council members copied email questions and answers to each other regarding the budget so everyone would be in the know. At a council meeting in December, members Oertle and Debora Nelson asked for salary information that wasn’t given to them.

M-P wrestler Hatch keeps pinning, winning

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck senior wrestler Drew Hatch wants to win state this year.

He was a few matches away last year, losing in the quarterfinals in the 170pound weight class, where he placed third.

Now wrestling at 182 pounds, Hatch feels like this is his year. “I’m looking to have fun this year and lead my team to success,” he said. “To keep winning is my goal.”

Though he got a late start because of the football team’s success, Hatch has done well for himself on the mat, winning all eight of his matches by pin so far.

“He’s a very athletic and an aggressive wrestler,” coach Craig Iversen said.

“He’s always looking for a pin, and it’s what made him play football at a high level.”

Hatch was all-leauge linebacker for the Tomahawks.

And the transition from the football pads to a wrestling singlet has been a little rough but has smoothed out.

“It was kind of difficult,” he said. “My body was beat up for a bit, but I got a week break, and I’m back in my groove.”

Though physically gifted, Hatch is also cunning and observant when it comes to securing pins.

“I just look at leverage and positioning,” Hatch said. “If I see someone out of position, I will try to exploit that weakness and get them on their back.”

Hatch’s strength and knowledge of wrestling comes from participating in it since he was 3.

His earliest memory was of him getting slammed on his back having the wind knocked out of him — but it hasn’t happened since, he said.

“I’ve had fourteen years of practice,” Hatch said.

“I’ve been in the game for quite awhile. I have a feel for it.”

M-P football top local sports story

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

1. MARYSVILLE — Despite the school shooting Oct. 24, the Marysville-Pilchuck football team advanced to the 3A state playoffs, taking on perennial power Bellevue at the Tacoma Dome Nov. 28. The Tomahawks didn’t win, falling 20-10, but they did make the semifinals for just the second time in school history.

M-P was led by running backs Killian Page and Austin Joyner, who both ran for more than 1,000 yards. The defense was led by all-league linebacker Drew Hatch. Bryce Vitcovich made second team all-state as both an offensive and defensive lineman.

2. MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck volleyball team also advanced to state.

Standouts included first team All-Wesco 3A outside hitter Bailey Nelson and second team

libero Kendall McCoy. 3. ARLINGTON — Arlington graduated thrower Lyndsay Leatherman, who heaved the discus 142 feet to win the 4A title May 29. She also won the javelin, throwing for 146-0. She had planned to throw for the University of Washington.

4. MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell senior Brooke Wherley won the 3A State Diving Championship Nov. 15, achieving the sixth-highest score in state history of 438.85 points.

She took up diving just last year.

9. MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck baseball team made its way to the 3A District third-place game against Shorewood but fell short 3-1 May 17. They were led by pitchers Alex Gray, Jake Lutton and Cody Anderson.

10. ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys basketball team went 20-4, losing twice in the regular season and winning two playoff games before falling to Jackson at districts and Kentridge at regionals.

Arlington was led by graduated Wesco 4A first teamer Noah Jones and second teamers Kaleb Bryson and Brady Brummel.

MARYSVILLE – Two Marysville running backs made the All-State First Team in football, and a lineman made the second team on offense and defense, according to The Associated Press.

Senior running back Austin Joyner of Marysville-Pilchuck and sophomore standout Collin Montez of Marysville Getchell received the honors.

A third Marysville running back, senior Killian Page, also of M-P, was named to the second team.

The all-state selectors realized Page and Joyner had to have some help getting all those yards. Two senior offensive linemen, Corbin Ferry and Bryce Vitcovich, joined Page on the second offensive unit.

The Tomahawks placed third in state, and they couldn’t have done it without a strong defense as three players were named to the second team.

Vitcovich also was named to the second team as a defensive lineman. Drew Hatch, another senior, was named as a linebacker. And senior defensive back Nicholas Alonso also made the second team all-state defense.

Despite winning only a few games, Marysville Getchell also had another player besides Montez on the all-state squad. Senior John Clark was named to the second unit’s defensive line.

Lakewood boys, MG girls win

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD - The Marysville Getchell girls basketball team curbed its four-game losing streak with a win over Lakewood 46-36 in a non-league game Dec. 30, improving its record to 5-4 while damaging Lakewood 2-7.

“It’s tough to be on vacation,” MG coach Shannon Grandbois said. “During the season, you’re at school, you’re up and going all day.

It makes it tougher to come in and play a tough game.”

MG’s Gabrielle Grandbois led her team with 14 points and teammate Jada Romulus scored 13.

Lakewood’s Marissa Blair led her team with 14 points.

Next week, Lakewood travels to Cedar Park Christian in Bothell Tuesday, Jan. 6, and hosts Mornington, Wednesday, Jan 7.

LAKEWO OD Lakewood’s Phillip Hofmann tipped in a basket right before the final buzzer to give the Cougars a 61-59 win over Marysville Getchell Dec. 30.

Lakewood was fighting off a five-game losing streak, after defeating Port Angeles 64-47 the week before.

During the losing period, first-year coach Anthony Wiederkehr talked to his

“What I told them is when you hit adversity, you have to work harder.”

Anthony Wiederkehr, Lakewood boys coach captains.

“I told them that just because you work doesn’t mean it will always result in a win,” he said. “You also need a certain will, or belief.”

The Cougars weren’t used to winning and would crumble under adversity, Wiederkehr said.

Arlington turns mound upside down

Bill Quakes Memorial Field gets one ARLINGTON — When it comes to baseball fields, the pitcher’s mound often gets in the way, especially when playing softball.

In recent years, some organizations have purchased movable mounds.

But if they are too heavy they are hard to move.

And if they are too light they wobble are unstable to pitch from.

Bud Adams of Sports Complex Design Group of Everett may have found the answer to the baseball mound woes.

It is called the flip mound.

He recently chose Bill Quakes Memorial Field as a test site for the new “precision fit mound.”

On Dec. 18, he and some business partners dug a huge pit at the field.

The hole is needed to turn the mound upside down when the field will be used for softball or soccer - anytime an inclined pitching mound isn’t needed for

baseball.

“Girls would have to pitch with a big hump behind them,” Adams said.

The mound weighs 150 pounds but can be easily flipped over to a flat surface in seconds by two people to accommodate other sports.

Both plastic and rubber cleats can be used on the mound.

“That’s always been the problem with portable mounds,” Adams said, who recalled baseball players having to change shoes as they pitched or left portable mounds.

The product is currently patent pending but has so far received leads from distributors and companies, and is scheduled in January for a trade show in Denver, Color., Adams said.

Under the trademark name Big Brown Mound, the flip mound eliminates the problem of dirt mounds, which are hard to build and maintain, especially when it rains.

Installation of the product is valued at $20,000.

“What I told them is that when you hit adversity, you have to work harder,” he said. “Now with two wins in a row, it’s all about taking another step forward.”

Lakewood improved its record to 4-5. Ryan Alford led the Cougars with 23 points. Teammates Paul Coleman contributed 12 points and eight rebounds and Chance Schueller added 10 points and led with 10 rebounds.

MG’s Deyon Robertson scored a game-high of 26 points.

73-66 Dec. 30.

Despite senior Connor Bovard opening the game with a 3-pointer, it was the previously winless 2A underdog Edison that found itself leading much of the first quarter. The Eagles found themselves down 16-9.

It got a little better for Arlington in the next quarter, but the Eagles were still down 35-27 entering the half.

The Eagles continued to get outscored in the third quarter, but Arlington made it a game in the final quarter when they began warming up with threes.

Donovan Sellgren, Cole Kingsberry and Bovard hit their 3-pointers to help the Eagles get back in the game.

With the Eagles just behind 62-61 it seemed victory was in Arlington’s reach, but another Edison run in the waning minutes handed the Eagles a defeat.

Next week, Arlington is away playing EdmondsWoodway Tuesday, Jan. 6, and Marysville-Pilchuck Friday, Jan. 9.

Parents, students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fans of senior projects spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Parents and their teenage children may not agree on much, but when it comes to Culminating Projects in school they think alike.

Get rid of them.

A survey done by the Marysville School District shows 80 percent of the 494 parents who responded want to eliminate having high

school seniors do the Culminating Projects.

The 110 students who took the survey agreed, with an overwhelming 87 percent wanting to get rid of the senior projects.

Teachers were split on the issue, with 50 percent of the 173 teachers wanting to keep the projects and 50 percent wanting to get rid of them.

Assistant Superintendent Ray

Houser will present the survey findings at the first school board meeting of the new year Monday, Jan. 5, at both the work session at 4:30 p.m. and the regular meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Also at the regular meeting, the board is expected to vote to have a company called eduro educate district teachers on the use of technology in the classroom in the 21st century.

In February, Marysville voters approved a four-year technology levy.

The majority will be spent on networked computing resources.

But some also will be spent on teaching teachers how to use those resources effectively.

Two finalists gave presentations on professional development for teachers regarding technology to the district, with eduro ending up

the better match, the district said.

Also at the meeting, Principal Tarra Patrick will talk about Totem Middle School, and Sevtap Alisa Sahin and Matthew McFarlane of Marysville Getchell will be honored as students of the month.

At the work session, Recovery Director Mary Schoenfeldt will give an update, and Principal Lynn Heimsoth will give a school report on Shoultes Elementary.

M’ville builder writes book to help others succeed

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – D.B. Johnson is a local success story.

No, he didn’t win American Idol, The Voice or America’s Got Talent. He didn’t have his own Reality Show. And he didn’t win the lottery.

He did it by starting a business and working hard at it for years.

More people actually have made money that way than the more splashier ways. But many young people want to become famous without working at it. He says there are 28.3 million high school graduates each year, and many have no skills so they don’t enter the workforce until age 30.

Born and raised in Marysville, Johnson has started a nonprofit called Begin Young, which will provide educational materials that emphasize selfeffort to schools and civic organizations.

Johnson and his wife, Erin, have spent 30 years building 4,000 homes in the area under the names D.B. Construction and Burton Homes. He retired 1 1/2

years ago and now, at age 57, he wants to focus on improving young people’s lives.

He said he could write checks to help, but decided a better way would be to give advice about success to youth. “ We’v e messed up here financially, spending before earning,” he said.

Johnson Johnson has written a self-published book called “Don’t Feed The Squirrels” to raise money for the nonprofit. It can be purchased at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. For details, go to information@ beginyoung.org.

Johnson admits his book is “harsh and may offend some people.” But it’s the truth as he knows it.

Johnson’s book talks about how half the country does not pay income taxes, putting a tremendous burden on those who do, creating a lazy lifestyle for those who don’t. His overlying theme is “Don’t Feed

The Squirrels” because they just will want more, and more people will want to be like them. So many people believe they are entitled to free housing, free food and free health care that it gives little incentive for folks to work.

The book also talks about how the debt keeps growing because everyone wants free stuff. Politicians love to oblige so they can get reelected. But some day the United States will have to pay the bill, and that’s when this country finally will realize it has gone too far.

“Nothing comes without sacrifice,” Johnson said. “So many want everything now.”

Johnson also talks about how he has served his country, even though he never was in the military, and that “effort equality” should be more important than income equality.

When it comes to raising children, he describes how more is less – that if you give your kids too much, they will expect handouts their entire lives and won’t do much on their own, which is what gives true satisfaction in life. Children who are held accountable

actually learn from their mistakes, he writes.

As for higher education, Johnson believes in it, but it’s not for everyone. His education was at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. He said students today seem to be “brainwashed into looking down” on construction workers as “not an honorable thing.”

But Johnson knows from making millions of dollars that he’s “contributed more than taken.”

Johnson said going to college can actually lead to huge debts early in life that

can get them “stuck in a rut.” People want more so they go further into debt.

“Somebody out there’s paying for it,” Johnson said.

He said it’s a myth that the top 1 percent don’t pay their fair share of taxes.

Johnson said many people “gripe about paying taxes” but they don’t pay anywhere near what the benefits are that they receive.

Johnson’s family helped him come up with the title for the book. They used to go on a trip every year, and the kids would feed the squirrels even though they

were told not to. After a few years the squirrels were gone. Johnson theorized they became extinct because they no longer could fend for themselvers.

Johnson is writing a second book, with the working title “18 to 29 101.” He wants to give that age group the basics for success.

“Before they go out and make all the mistakes, this is all the stuff that can go against them,” he said.

Johnson’s overall message is that handouts aren’t as meaningful as earning something..

Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ville arts center needs donations to stay open

MARYSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The final curtain could go down on the nonprofit Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise $50,000 by the end of January.

Foundation president Scott Randall said a crowdfunding campaign is being kicked off the first week of the new year. The goal is to find 1,000 contributors who can donate $50 each, although of course any amount is appreciated, he said. People can go to indiggo.com to donate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crowd-funding on the internet is big right now,â&#x20AC;?

Randall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It broadens your spectrum so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just asking your friends and family for money.â&#x20AC;?

Randall said owners of the former Dunn Lumber building used by the center are excited to sell as the economy improves. He said he new at some point the partners would want to sell, but the process was accelerated as property values go up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It caught us by surprise.

We were not prepared,â&#x20AC;? he said.

He added that the partners are giving the center a good deal, and they feel they

Rotary gives food baskets ARLINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Rotary Club of Arlington recently assembled and delivered 68 baskets of food to families served by the Arlington Food Bank.

Rotarians donated money to buy the food for the Christmas baskets. The club matched each contribution and will give a cash donation to the food bank later when the need is greater.

Rotarians delivered the baskets directly to doorsteps from Smokey Point to Darrington.

Club members also met at the Stillaguamish Senior Center to serve lunch and visit with its members. The lunch is donated each year by the club. Door prizes were awarded, and Santa paid a visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what Rotary is all about - Service Above Self,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy Huleatt, president of the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look forward to these annual events and see really high participation from our members and families to give back in one more way to our community.â&#x20AC;?

can come up with $70,000 through grants, sponsors, etc., but more is needed.

He said it is an attainable goal. Prizes are awarded for various levels of giving.

Anyone who donates $50 will be invited to attend a big celebration when the effort ends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big hurdle but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very sure weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make it because we believe in what we do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The arts have to answer to economics from time to time.â&#x20AC;?

Marysville had not had a community theater group in town for 40 years when Red Curtain moved in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an underserved communityâ&#x20AC;? for arts and culture, he said, adding both Everett and Arlington are strong in the arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like it passed over Marysville and Smokey Point.â&#x20AC;?

The foundation offers a number of arts programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to have activity at the arts center every weekend, and classes/ rehearsals each weekday,â&#x20AC;?

Randall said.

The center, at 1410 Grove St., does charge fees for its classes and programs, but it keeps the prices low. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Price is not a reason for people not to enjoy the arts,â&#x20AC;?

This artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition shows what the Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts hopes to be someday.

Randall said, adding people can volunteer to usher or at the concession stand to offset costs.

Classes set to start Jan. 11 include: guitar, $15; acting, $25; kid or teen theater, $15; and more. Private acting and piano lessons also are available.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Got You Covered

The foundation also puts on 10 plays each year.

The next one is scheduled for Feb. 20 and is an Agatha Christie play called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spiderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web.â&#x20AC;?

As for music, for six years now it has offered a musi-

cal series called Hometown Hootenanny. It focuses on country, folk and bluegrass music. Its next auditions are set for 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13.

How long the center stays open depends on donations.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Restaurant workers help make it a wonderful life for girl

SMOKEY POINT – Clarence is to Jimmy Stewart in “It’s A Wonderful Life” as Carrie Viig and Beth Nordine are to Sherrill Swallow in real life. “They saved Christmas for my granddaughter” Isabella, Swallow said.

Swallow went to the IHOP at Smokey Point a few weeks ago because they give free meals to children. Strapped for cash, Swallow asked how much she needed to spend to get the free

meal. General Manager Viig not only gave them a meal, she also asked if the restaurant could “adopt” Isabella and give her Christmas gifts. All of the workers pitched in, and on Christmas Eve Isabella, 3 1/2, received a bunch of clothes and toys.

“It’s like what you see in movies,” Swallow said. “People are not like that, not usually. She has a whole wardrobe now.”

Swallow said she survives on

$231 a month in disability, and what her daughter, Auna Rose, brings home from her retail job.

“We had zero for Christmas,” Swallow said, adding she was surprised at how caring the people are at IHOP. “Maybe because it’s rural, not such a big town.”

Swallow said she is extra appreciative of Viig, who was making trips to Portland, Ore., to see her father, who is on hospice. “She focused on us even

though her dad was dying,” Swallow said, adding Hostess Ambassador Nordine helped when Viig wasn’t available.

Swallow decided to pay it forward to help IHOP by donating 43 pounds of food there that Auna Rose, 22, collected at a food drive at her work. “I feel this is such a wonderful act of kindness,” Swallow said. “It has restored my faith in mankind. It has given me hope in life.”
