Beauty and the Beast comes to M-PHS stage By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville-Pilchuck High School drama department will present Disney’s Beauty and the Beast for their spring musical this April and May. “This is the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast from Disney converted to a Broadway production,” said Victoria Steward, who is playing Belle in the production. Many of the students said they enjoy stepping into roles they knew from childhood. “I watched Beauty and the Beast as a kid so now to be able to step on stage and be Belle is wonderful,” said Steward. “It’s tough and a little bit scary, because like with any famous story everyone knows it and has a straight idea about it. You worry that if you don’t get it right they may not like it,” said Morgan Reed, a Marysville student who is playing Beast.

Arlington children raced across the Arlington Airport field during the city of Arlington's annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 20. The egg hunt takes place near the Stillaguamish Athletic Club as children are separated into age groups and line up in the field before being released all at once to grab Easter eggs from the grass. Local parents said that their kids enjoyed the local Easter event. "We love it," said local parent Cody Najera. "We were here awhile back, when she [Najera's daughter] was about three years old." Najera said he was looking forward to returning to the event in the future.
"They had a fantastic time, we're going to come back next year," he said. The plastic Easter eggs are filled with candy or with prize tickets that could be redeemed for gift cards to local businesses or for gift baskets, such as art-themed baskets from the Arlington Arts Council. Local grandparent Brenda Martin came to the Easter egg hunt with a couple of her granddaughters. "It's our first time but we had a blast," said Martin. "This one likes the competition and this one is really into the Easter Bunny," she said. The Easter Bunny was available for pictures with the kids before and after the Easter egg hunt and the Arlington See ARLINGTON on page 2

Assistant director Ashlyn Stoker said she enjoyed being able to bring the play to the M-PHS stage. “It’s really amazing being able to watch something I grew up watching and being such a large part of bringing it to life, especially on the 25th anniversary,” she said. Stoker said that this is the first Disney show that she’s help direct, which has presented a unique set of challenges. See BEAUTY on page 2

More than 12,000 plastic eggs were hidden around Marysville's Jennings Park as part of the Easter egg hunt by the city this year. The annual event was held on April 20. "We are having our annual Easter egg hunt that has been part of the community for many, many years," said Andrea Kingsford, recreation coordinator for the city of Marysville's Parks, Culture and Recreation Department. Parents and kids come to the park to find Easter eggs and meet the Easter Bunny. Local parent Sara Randolph said the event was well organized and fun. "We haven't been here in
two years and it was crazy busy then," she said. Younger children look for their eggs next to the Rotary Ranch while slightly older kids go the Jennings Park Master Garden as part of the event. "The garden has been such a fun venue because it has little hiding places for the eggs and it's so pretty in the garden. It is just so cheerful as the kids are going through," said Kingsford. Kingsford said that the event is a good way for Marysville residents to come out and meet each other as well. "It is such a wonderful event for families to come

The event is put on by the city of Arlington with help from local nonprofit organization Youth Dynamics and the Arlington United Church. In addition to volunteers, the Arlington United Church also provided the refreshments at the event. "I like to see the community coming together, with the church and Youth Dynamics and other people from the community all partnering to do stuff for the families," said Jessica
Ronhaar, executive director of the Stilly Valley Youth Dynamics. She said that the local organizations like to help out with the event to provide children and parents with a fun holiday.

“Disney is very meticulous in the way that they want their characters to be portrayed,” she said. “It’s a balance of helping the kids find little things they can add to their own character while staying true to the original Disney tale,” she said. Many of the students enjoyed getting into their characters. “Compared to the film, he’s a lot more humorous in what he does instead of just being cocky. He’s a lot more flashy,” said Rylee Worth, who plays Gaston. Reed said it has been a challenge getting into the mindset of the Beast. “My favorite part is trying to get into his emotional state to get better into the character when I’m on stage,” he said.

Students said that there will be a lot to enjoy with the musical, and many of the classic Disney numbers are part of the show.
“The music is phenomenal. I think that’s why it became so well-known in the first place,” said Reed. There are some additional dance sections of the play as well. “It’s a little different from the cartoon, there’s a few more dance numbers,” said Stoker. “Our choreographer took a long time to get them right and they look really good,” said Worth. Students involved with the play also said they enjoyed being part of the drama department at the school.
“It’s my first play at M-P, but my seventh play total and it’s been super fun and everybody is really supportive about helping each other’s characters,” said Worth. “Being around everybody all the time is awesome. I love this group and it’s so much fun,” said Reed. The play begins showing on April 25, 26 and 27 and continues May 2, 3 and 4 at 7 p.m. at the M-PHS auditorium. In addition there is a matinee on May 4 at noon. Admission is $12 for adults, $10 for students and seniors and $5 for children five years of age and younger.

Larsen visits CTE programs at Marysville, Arlington schools By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen visited Arlington and Marysville schools on April 16 to tour local career and technical education opportunities for students. He talked to students and stopped by both school districts to look at a variety of programs offered at the schools. Larsen’s first stop was Totem Middle School’s communications program, where he was interviewed live by a couple of the students there. “One of the top things I want to learn about so I can be more effective in Congress is about the career and technical education opportunities that students like you have, so at the federal level we can fund those programs and make them better,” he told the two Totem Middle School students. The two student broadcasters said they have enjoyed working on the morning school news broadcast. “I enjoy it, not just for all the stuff you’re able to do, but it’s helped me work with others with teamwork,” said student Anthony Cabillaje. “It’s very interesting and there are a lot of new things to learn and that I haven’t tried yet, but I feel I’ve grown as a person,” said student McKenna Stewart. Larsen also looked at the school’s graphic design program. Students use either touch-screen tablets or silver drawing tablets to learn Photoshop and graphic design, according to teacher Sandy Chapin. “Two different experiences for them and we switch halfway through,” she said. “It takes a quarter just to learn all the basic Photoshop skills so the second half is where it gets really fun,” she said. Finally, Larsen looked at Arlington High School’s manufacturing classes and talked to students who will compete in the Skills USA state competition. “I’ll be tested on my welding knowledge and skills,” said student Ian Seward. Student Cody Clark is also planning to demonstrate his welding skills at the competition. “I started this class my sophomore year and I didn’t even know what a welder was, but I went to regionals and state last year,” he said, adding he looks forward to going to the state competi-

The students are also competing in the community service category for the competition, and will give a presentation about their contributions to Arlington. “We’ve made some metal bike racks for downtown Arlington and we’re presenting those as our community service project,” said Seward. Larsen said he was glad to get a chance to see how the CTE programs are cur-
rently operating. “I want to use my office to send the message that career and technical education is an important part of the education system,” he said. “We need skilled labor and these CTE programs are a foundation to build that skilled labor for the future,” Larsen said. CTE programs are supported in part by federal funding, he said. “There are federal dollars
that help fund portions of career and technical education programs,” he said. Larsen said he has introduced the Youth Access to American Jobs Act to create a stronger path for students into trade jobs. “This would help states connect high school CTE programs with career and technical education programs in colleges and to apprenticeships, to create a clear pipeline for students to get those jobs,” he said.

Arlington police arrest man after standoff At approximately 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, April 20, Arlington Police responded to a report of a suspicious person at the Arlington Municipal Cemetery, located at 20310 67th Ave. NE. Callers to 911 were reporting the individual was acting unusual and possible gunshots were heard. On arrival, officers located a man and a vehicle in a wooded area at the rear of the cemetery. Officers reported he was acting erratically and ignoring attempts by officers to communicate with him. Based on the man’s conduct and possible presence of firearms, officers backed out of the wooded area and requested assistance from Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office for additional personnel, Marysville Police Department’s BearCat (armored vehicle), and Snohomish County Fire District #22 (Getchell) with an unmanned aerial vehicle (drone). Snohomish County Fire District #22 personnel were able to deploy the UAV so that law enforcement could observe the man safely and attempt to establish communication. Officers noted that
the man had access to weapons and was clearly in crisis, continuing to act erratically, spray painting his vehicle, and then climbing on top of his vehicle. The man continued to ignore orders from officers. The BearCat was used by officers to safely approach the man to establish communication and bring him into custody. After more than an hour of attempting to communicate with the man and deploying less lethal force twice, the man surrendered and was taken into custody. The man was identified as a 21-year-old from Deming, Washington. After initial evaluation and treatment by personnel from the Arlington Fire Department, officers transported the man to Cascade Valley Hospital for evaluation and assessment. Officers intend to book the man into Snohomish County Jail on multiple charges, including unlawful discharge of fireworks, disorderly conduct, and obstruction. Officers recovered drug paraphernalia, fireworks, and multiple weapons including a knife, throwing stars, and a hatchet at the scene.

Eagles remain undefeated with win over M-P By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The the undefeated Arlington baseball team took on the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks in a 3A Wesco North matchup on April 17. The Tomahawks had a good start as they earned two hits in the top of the first while shutting out the Eagles in the bottom of the same inning. They continued to ride their momentum by scoring the first run of the game in the top of the second. Arlington answered as they scored a run in the bottom of the inning to tie up the score 1-1. In the third inning the Eagles took their first lead of the game as they shutdown the Tomahawks and scored two more runs to hold the score at 3-1 heading into the fourth. Arlington dominated over the next three innings as they scored eight
runs and finished the game in the sixth inning by a score of 11-1. After extending the lead to 10 runs the Eagles took the victory over Marysville-Pilchuck. “It was a tight ballgame early and it was good for our team to be put in that situation, and then be able to come out to play with that pressure. We have a really deep pitching staff, a deep lineup, and defensively we make plays. I think that separates us from a lot of teams and when you have all of those pieces you can find some success,” said Arlington Head Coach Scott Striegel. The Eagles were led by their strong upperclassmen in Paul Chung, Jack Sheward and Owen Bishop. Chung, senior shortstop, finished the day with one single but recorded one run, an RBI and three stolen bases. Sheward, senior catcher,
had one hit as well to go with one walk, two runs, one RBI, two stolen bases and a double. Bishop, junior outfielder, had a perfect day at the plate as he went 2-2 with two walks, three runs, one RBI, three stolen bases, one single and one double. Arlington also had big contributions from their sophomore duo of Jacob Burkett and Michael Tsoukalas. Burkett, pitcher, started on the mound for the Eagles as he totaled three innings pitched and five strikeouts. Tsoukalas, outfielder, went a perfect 2-2 at the plate with two doubles, one walk and one RBI. “We fought all day but you’re not going to win many games when you leave 11 guys on base. We need to be able to focus on all the little things and right now we aren’t doing that. Once we can hit all of the details then we can start driving
in those runs and finishing games,” said MarysvillePilchuck Head Coach James Day. Mar ysv i l le-Pi lchuck was led by Jordan Justice, Hunter Janisko, Treven Southard and Michael Testa. Justice, junior pitcher, started on the mound for the first four innings as he tallied two strikeouts over that time. He also contributed at the plate with one hit, two walks, a stolen base and a single. Janisko, senior infielder, went 2-3 at the plate with two singles on the day. Southard, junior shortstop, went perfect at the plate going 2-2 with two singles and one walk. Testa, junior catcher, had one walk at the plate but also earned the only run for the Tomahawks on a stolen base. If you want to come out and cheer for the Eagles their next home game will be against the Oak Harbor

M-P holds on for win over Eagles Pet By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com
The Marysville-Pilchuck softball team hosted the Arlington Eagles in a backand-forth game on April 15. The Tomahawks got off to a hot start as they dominated from both sides of the plate early on against the Eagles. Marysville-Pilchuck had two back-to-back fourrun innings while shutting out Arlington through the second. Heading into the third inning, the Tomahawks held a commanding 8-0 lead. The Eagles were able to change the momentum in the third as they earned their first shutout inning over Marysville-Pilchuck. Arlington looked to close the gap in the fourth as they had a four-run inning of their own while keeping the Tomahawks from putting any more on the scoreboard. The Eagles continued to inch closer to M-P with a two-run fifth inning, putting them behind by 8-6 heading into the final two innings. Unfortunately for Arlington, MarysvillePilchuck managed to allow zero runs through the final stretch and walked away with the 8-6 victory. “It was a good win, but we have to do a better job at finishing plays because you won’t win many games
when you give a team extra outs. We did a lot of good things with such a young team and the future is bright for the program,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach Aaron Zachry. The Tomahawks had contributors all over their lineup including Sydney Zachry, Lauren Lewis, Cassidy Phelps and Emily Downing. Zachry, senior catcher, and Lewis, junior center fielder, had the same statline as they each finished the day with two hits, two runs, one RBI, one stolen base, one single and one double. Phelps, sophomore shortstop, led the team with three hits, one run, three RBIs, two stolen bases, two singles and one double. Downing, freshman pitcher, controlled the mound through the first four innings while recording four strikeouts. She also had a perfect day at the plate going 2-2 with two hits, two walks, one run, two RBIs, a double and a home run. “We showed how we could play in the second half of the game. It is a little frustrating to see them start competing late, but I think it also showed their ability to work hard and make it a close one against a very good team,” said Arlington Head Coach Ashleigh Beard.

the bottom of the fifth. “Regardless of the outcome I wanted to make sure that they stayed in the moment and focused on every part of the game as it came. We have such a young core and the goal is for them to take it game by game and understand the opportunity they have in front of them to finish this season strong,” said Marysville Getchell Head Coach Gabriel Rochon. Marysville Getchell had contributions from the young players on their roster including Trevor Loucks, Josiah Koellmer and Cannon Van-Dalen. Loucks, sophomore center fielder, had a great day at the plate as he went 1-1 with a double, two walks and one run. Koellmer, sophomore shortstop, didn’t record a hit but earned one walk and one run. Van-Dalen, freshman third baseman, filled the stat sheet as he went 1-1 with a single, two walks, an RBI and one stolen base. The Chargers also had their seniors Ryan King and Caleb Koellmer make plays for them throughout the game. King, senior pitcher, earned two strikeouts over two innings while also going 1-2 from the plate with a single and a walk. Koellmer, senior right fielder, finished going 1-2 with a single and one stolen base. If you want to come out and support the Chargers their next game will be against Marysville-Pilchuck on Wednesday, April 24, at 4 p.m.

MSD holds Native Art Festival By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Tulalip students and Native students from the Marysville School District got to show their art on April 18 at the annual Native Art Festival. This year’s festival was at the Don Hatch Youth Center and was held in partnership by Tulalip Education officials and the Marysville School District. “The Tulalip student Native American Art Festival has been going on for a long time and it’s an opportunity for us to showcase our Native students and the work that they do,” said Jessica Bustad, positive youth development and leadership manager for Tulalip Education division. Students got to show a variety of different types of art, including sculpture, painting, drawing, photography, digital media and other mixed media projects. “It’s an opportunity for us to inspire them to be creative and use positive forces to express themselves,” said Bustad. Bustad said she enjoys seeing the variety of different art that gets submitted and the new trends that come in every year.
“My favorite part of running this is just seeing the creativity come out of all of the students and seeing how different all the art pieces are every year,” she said. One of the memorable pieces this year was a piece of re-used material, she said. “He [the student] did a beautiful piece made out of recycled water bottles, and that is one thing that we hope to do in the future, is promote recycled art,” said Bustad. The annual festival is a good way to support kids creativity, she said. “I think the kids feel a sense of pride and they take ownership in the pieces that they have created,” she said. Students from kindergarten to 12th grade submit pieces for the annual festival. “I think the kids take a lot out of it because not only are they seeing their own art pieces, but also their peers' art and getting ideas,” said Bustad. Students get to show their art to their parents at the festival as well. “It builds up their self-confidence and they are able to bring their families to show them their art. Even if they didn’t place, their art is still displayed here and it’s just a fun event for

them,” said Bustad. “I think the families like to come and see all the art and the kids get prizes and the families get prizes. It’s just a fun time to have dinner and enjoy people’s company,” she said. Winners from the festival will have their art displayed at the Hibulb Cultural Center for a two-week cultural exhibit.

to. It's great to have the families come into the park and it's fun for families to come see their neighbors," she said. "It is just really good community building." Local parent Christie Smith said she enjoyed the community at the event. "I love community events and that so many people come, and it's a great event for the kids," she said. Many local organizations also come down to the park to provide more to do for kids. "The families love the eggs, the little ones love visiting with the Easter Bunny, they love participating in the activities that the organizations provide and I think they just love the feel
of community while they're here," said Kingsford. Besides the Easter egg hunt, other organizations provide a variety of things for children to do. "We have the bunny hop challenge [obstacle course], we have a free book giveaway, we have the inflatable foosball, we're collecting food for the Marysville Community Food Bank, and we have different games for the kids to play," said Kingsford. Kingsford wanted to thank Marysville Rotary and Steve Fulton State Farm Insurance who are both long-time sponsors of the event and support it every year. "Without them we wouldn't we be able to do the Easter egg hunts," she said.

Allen Creek Elementary celebrates 25th anniversary By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Allen Creek Elementary celebrated it’s 25th anniversary on April 18 with former and current students, parents and teachers coming out for an open house. Community members came down to the event to look at old yearbooks, see slideshows of past events and talk with each other. “We have a lot of former students and teachers that have come out,” said Janelle McFalls, principal of the school. “We knew that 25 years is a big milestone to celebrate and we want to show off our school,” she said. McFalls has been at the elementary school for eight years now and said that the area has lots of homes that people return to. “I think people stick around the area a lot, so we have a lot of people who have kids or grandkids that have been through here,” she said. “It’s nice because we have people that come back to help." Caitlin North is a teacher at the school right now but was also a student. “Allen Creek was always my home,” she said.
“When I was a student I always wanted to teach here just because it was such a great place and a great community,” she said. North said that she was happy to be able to return to the same community she grew up in. “They did so much for me and now I get to give back,” she said. Allen Creek Elementary feels different now for her, she said, but “a lot of stuff is still the same,” as well. “I always joke around with my kids that they could find one of my textbooks,” she said. McFalls said she enjoys working at the school because of the kids, the families and the staff. “To see the kids smile and the parents come and support their kids during all the events is really inspiring,” she said. “My staff works really hard and I appreciate that greatly." Jim Brennick was a board member with the district when the school was built and said that the school has done a good job through the years. “I think it’s done an outstanding job. It’s had a great staff,” he said.
Lakewood drama presents 'Footloose' The students of Lakewood High School bring their enthusiasm and joy of dance to life in their rendition of “Footloose,” a story of a teenage boy recently relocated from Chicago trying to find his way in a small town where he finds himself at odds with most of the town, including a very influential reverend. “Footloose” is powerful story of redemption, inclusion, reputation and significance. They are in their second year of musical theater production at Lakewood High School. Even though they are a small school, their musical program has won many awards for its musical talent while competing
against much larger schools. Directors Emily May, theatrical director and producer, Katy Trapp, musical director, and Ashley Bayha, Choreographer, have collaborated with the students to once again provide a fun night of entertainment. The talented cast will keep your toes tapping in their production of “Footloose.” Performances will be May 2, 3, 4, 10 and 11 at 7 p.m., and May 11 at 2 p.m., in the new Lakewood High School Performing Arts Center 17023 11th Ave. NE, in Arlington. Tickets are available at the door and are $10, and $8 with ASB card. Cash or check only at the door.

“We’ve had a lot of great people that have come through here and some who have left and moved up the ladder and some who have retired,” he said. The school was built on a good location for a lot of families, he said. “When we were buying the property the sellers wanted $38,000 an acre, and some of the board members didn’t want to pay that, they wanted to pay $35,000,” he said. Brennick said he worked for the PUD as a design engineer and brought up the public records to show how many homes were within a mile and how many homes were planned for the area as well. “And I showed them that at executive session and so we decided to buy it then,” he said.

getting a new playground for the school as well,” said McFalls. The district has received a grant for a new playground and construction is sched-
uled for this summer. “We were able to tie it in so nicely with the celebration,” said McFalls, who said it was good to bring in something new for the school.

MSD students connect with opportunities Marysville School District held its seventh annual Opportunity Expo at EvCC on April 18 By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
The Marysville School District’s seventh annual Opportunity Expo was held on April 18 to give students the chance to learn about colleges, universities and industry opportunities. The district brought more than 100 vendors down to the Everett Community College gym for students to talk to. “We’ve got college, fouryear universities, two-year colleges, tech, trades, businesses, and civic opportunities. We have the whole gamut,” said Jodi Runyon, director of engagement and outreach with the district. “I’ve been really proud of our students. They have been networking and are engaging with the vendors,” she said. Mountain View Arts and Technology High School student Zach Randle said the event was a good idea. “Honestly, I wanted to stay at school and get my learning done, but it’s productive to go here and think about my future,” he said. Randle said he spent most of his time talking with the representative
from Northwest University. “I’ve had my heart set on Northwest for about a year now,” he said. Most juniors from the school district are sent to the expo, along with many AVID students and some seniors as well. Runyon said she hopes students begin thinking about all the possibilities for their life after graduation that are on display at the expo. “The reason we do this is we recognize that we want all of our students to consider their futures,” she said. “It’s part of our district goals, our vision and our mission that we ‘engage, inspire and prepare.’ So this is to prepare them for life after high school,” she said. Because of the variety of options, form Boeing to trade jobs to tech jobs, Runyon said she hopes students find something that they hadn’t considered before, even if they’re not ready to make a final decision about their future yet. “We hope that something resonates with them. They may not be ready today to make a decision, but this helps give them a jumpstart in thinking about it,” said Runyon. “Maybe they walk away thinking ‘I never thought about that but maybe I will consider going into banking or going to Everett Community College,” she said.
The event is a partnership between the Marysville School District and Everett Community College, Washington State University and the University Center. “Everett Community College opens up this gym and allows us to bring in other colleges and universities that may not be directly tied to Everett Community College,” said Runyon. The Tulalip Tribes, the city of Marysville, Boeing and other local organizations come out to talk with students as well. “We want students to see there is a path where they can go here, learn a trade, and then come back to the Marysville and Tulalip community,” said Runyon.

The lofty Gothic ceiling arched far above my head and through the stained windows the light came but dimly — it was all still, solemn and religious."

sors and volunteers who help make this happen every year. RANT: The traffic in Marysville is getting really bad, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Maybe we should put more attention on improving the traffic problems, and less attention on trying to attract more residential development which would only make the traffic even worse.

Dollars for Scholars bingo night set for April 27 By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Arlington’s Dollars for Scholars organization will hold their bingo night, the organization's largest fundraiser of the year, on April 27. The event will be held at the Arlington High School Commons from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., with doors opening around 5:30 p.m., according to Holly Sloan-Buchanan, the president for the local Dollars for Scholars organization.
Food will be available for purchase throughout the evening, she said. Cost to enter the event is $15 for adults and $10 for accompanying children. Sloan-Buchanan said that people enjoy coming out to the event for a fun evening with other community members. “People always tell me how it’s a fun night to come out to,” she said. Locals also like to support the organization, which provides scholarships for
Arlington students each year. “We are very blessed because the community is very supportive of us,” said SloanBuchanan. There are also a number of donated prizes for the bingo night, she said. There are a number of $25 gift cards from Arlington stores and from “basically every restaurant in town.” Some $50 gift cards will also be given out for the blackout games. “So, for a $15 admission
we think those are some good prizes from the community,” said Sloan-Buchanan. This is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the local nonprofit group which is meant to support student’s furthering their education. “We provide scholarships for Arlington students, and not just Arlington High School students but Weston High School students as well,” said Sloan-Buchanan. She said that the organization provides scholarships
not just for students going to university, but those going to technical schools or other colleges as well. “Last year we gave out $90,000 in scholarships to 77 students,” said Sloan-Buchanan. The organization is entirely volunteer driven and relies on community support to provide those scholarships each year to Arlington students. “Our missions is to support kids and their futures,” said Sloan-Buchanan.
She said that she values the work that Dollars for Scholars does each year because it helps the kids and the future of our community. “Whether it is in Arlington or elsewhere, the kids are our future,” she said. Dollars for Scholars scholarships are open each year, usually from Feb. 1 to April 1. To learn more about the local organization or how to apply for future scholarships go to www.arlingtonwa.dollarsforscholars.org.

the tender emerging new shoots. In addition to herbaceous peonies there are also tree peonies, which aren’t actually trees but are more like a woody shrub. They have flowers that come in colors of yellow, orange, purple and of course red, pink and white and they can reach 9 to 12 inches in size. The plant itself grows to a 4’ by 4’ woody shrub lacking in form and equally as hard to work into your landscape arrangement but the incredible flowers make it all worthwhile. Now here comes the best of both worlds, Itoh Peonies. These are hybrids (called intersectional) between the herbaceous and tree peonies mentioned above. The plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall with sturdy stems that do not need any staking and the flowers are a happy average between the species, measuring in at 6 to 9 inches with a good range of colors. The
plants develop a woody nature by the end of the season, but are actually herbaceous and need to be cut all the way to the ground before spring. Originally introduced in the late 1960’s, recent breeding work has brought us many new commercial varieties. These peonies are not cheap, but they are well worth the investment — they will last for years and you can pass divisions on to your grandkids. Itoh’s are the ‘Yin and Yang’ of the peony world all rolled into one plant and with as many as 50 flowers per plant, no gardener will be able to resist these beauties. Now is the time to buy and plant them, while they are still small and easily removed from their containers. Put them in a rich soil with lots of organic fertilizer and compost, since they will be in that same spot for years to come. Steve Smith is the owner of Sun-
