MARYSVILLE — More than 2,500 people crowded Jennings Park on Saturday, March 30, for the Marysville Easter Egg Hunt, collecting 11,000 candy-filled eggs in the warm spring weather.

“It went really well. It was a beautiful day and we had a great turnout,” said Andrea Kingsford, Marysville recreation coordina-tor. “We had wonderful support through our sponsors and vol-unteers.”

Kingsford thanked the spon-sors of the event, including the Marysville Noon Rotary, Steve Fulton State Farm Insurance, Grandview Village, United Way, Hillside Church, Ivar’s, Kiwanis Club, Piink Ink Face Painting and Marysville Getchell High School

students.“We had so many volunteers

from Marysville Getchell and community members who helped put on the event,” said Kingsford. “Everybody was so pleasant and it was just such a wonderful day.”

The city prepared 12,000 plas-tic eggs, and although 10,000 were pre-filled, the additional 2,000 were filled by student vol-unteers from Marysville Getchell High School.

Donations to the Marysville Community Food Bank were col-lected, although the totals were not tallied as of press time. In 2012, the event drew more than 900 pounds of food donations and almost $100 in cash.

MARYSVILLE — Dr. Becky Berg is still mapping out her transi-tion between the Deer Park School District, where she currently serves as superintendent, and the Marysville School District, for which she was selected as the new superintendent on March 28, but between now and when she officially starts her new job on July 1, Berg aims to get up to speed in short order.

“I intend to hit the ground run-ning, listening and learning,” said Berg, whose career in education opened with stints as a classroom teacher in the Renton and Enumclaw school districts from 1986-91, after

earning her B.A. in education from Eastern Washington University in 1984. “I’m open to meeting with as many constituents and community groups as possible so that I can learn as much as possible during those golden hours when I’m still new to the school district. I have no agenda other than continuing the great work that’s already been done in the district and understanding its future needs.”

Indeed, Berg cited what she deemed the healthy relationships between dis-trict leaders, staff members, students, families and surrounding community members as one of the traits that drew her to the Marysville School District in the first place.

“I was impressed,” said Berg, whose past positions as acting, associate,

assistant and full principals in the Bainbridge Island and Mead school districts, the latter in Spokane, ran from 1991 through 2010, when she began her current job as superinten-dent of the Deer Park School District. “Innovations such as the Small Learning Communities are the kinds of bold measures that it will take to keep up with the needs of the 21st century. This district’s diversity was also a huge draw for me, since I’m looking forward to working with the Tulalip Tribes, the growing Hispanic community and other partners.”

Berg eagerly anticipates familiar-izing herself with Marysville as a resident, a process that she referred to

as “knitting in” rather than “fitting in.”

“This really isn’t about me, though,” Berg said. “It’s about the Marysville com-munity and its students. This district demonstrates that dynamic, effective edu-cation is possible, and I’m incredibly excited to be part of it.”

Berg was one of three finalists selected by the Board on Saturday, March 23, along with Dr. Carl Bruner and Dr. Tony Byrd, based on the interviews and information from the participants. These finalists spent one day each of visi-tation in the district — on Monday, March 25, through Wednesday, March 27 — which included a formal interview with the Board. On the evening of March 27, the Board deliberated in closed session, during which they reviewed feed-back received, discussed what they heard, and com-pared all against the selec-tion criteria, as well as the district mission and vision.

At the close of the Board’s March 28 meeting, each Board member shared their thoughts about the process

and the final decision.“This was a very difficult

decision for the Board to make as all three finalists were very strong,” Board President Chris Nation said. “We appreciate the work of Northwest Leadership Associates to recruit such strong candidates who best met our criteria, mission and vision of the district. We are also very thankful for the work of the com-munity and staff members. Their participation was a vital part of the search pro-cess.”

“I am honored to be a part of this process and of making this very important decision for the district,” Board Vice President Wendy Fryberg said. “All candidates were great options for us. We are moving in the right direction and I think Dr. Berg will be a perfect fit for our future work. I was so appreciative of all the input we received from staff and the community. It shows that we all care about all children and want the best for our school district.”

“We listened to many in setting our criteria, and to the responses of all of our candidates,” Board Director Dr. Tom Albright said. “All five of our semifinalists were capable of doing the job.

The three finalists all could provide the leadership and skills we need, but in differ-ent ways. For us, given the challenges that our district faces, I am confident and excited that Dr. Becky Berg can lead our Board, leader-ship team, principals and teachers to the next level.”

“This was a great experi-ence to have the staff and community involved deep-ly in the process,” Board Director Cindy Erickson said. “It was a very tough decision, one we did not take lightly. All finalists were very strong and qualified to serve as superintendent.”

“In the end, the result was keeping our goals, mission and vision in mind, know-ing that we do not want to stray from the path we are on, and knowing that we need to engage our commu-nity,” Board Director Pete Lundberg said. “Dr. Becky Berg is the right person at the right time to move us forward. We will not allow anyone to lose sight of the mission and vision, and we will continue to reach out to all stakeholders, folding them into our district so that all students are profi-cient in reading and math. I am very thankful to all the community and staff for their diligence.”

his first Easter egg hunt by happily playing with the eggs that he found in the grass.

“This is our first time here,” said his mother, Susan Bigbey. “We live right next to the park and our neighbor told us about it. I think we’ll probably make this a yearly thing.”

Summer McBride, 5, searched through the western part of the park for her eggs, while her mother, Hannah McBride, looked on.

“I think this is our third year here,” she said. “I like that they have the egg limit and it’s not a free-for-all.”

The hunt was divided into sections by age groups and the kids were given an eight-egg limit. Once the sections had been emptied, organizers placed more eggs on the grass.

“It was an almost perfect day,” said Jim Ballew, Parks and Recreation director. “I think it’s really impressive that we can put on a free event for the community and visitors, and those community members bring canned food with them for the Food Bank. We have a huge truck full of food ready to be dropped off. It’s a tight-knit

community and everybody is looking out for each other.”

The egg hunt has been a part of Marysville Easter celebrations since 1991, and the city plans to bring it back again for another year in 2014.

MARYSVILLE — Before the Marysville/Tulalip Relay For Life returns to Asbery Field on June 29-30, Relay teams and organizers are offering the com-munity a cavalcade of activities and opportunities to contribute, starting with the “Team Captain Experience” event on Saturday, April 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stillaguamish Senior Center.

“The American Cancer Society is passionate about giving tools and information to our Relay teams to help them be successful,” said Stephani Earling, commu-nity relationship manager for the Great West Division of the ACS. “This event is designed specifi-cally for Relay team captains, and will include powerful informa-tion about the latest in the fight against cancer, tips to make the biggest personal impact you can, networking opportunities, food, fun and more.”

Marysville/Tulalip Relay team captains will be joined at the event by those from Arlington, Stanwood, Granite Falls, Lake Stevens and Camano Island who will be treated to a speakers’ panel on the best practices for getting

their teams and communities motivated. Earling advised the team captains to RSVP at least a couple of days before the event by logging onto www.relayrumble.org/westernwa.

Earling explained that such measures, to provide an addi-tional push to get folks inter-ested and involved, tie into this year’s Relay theme of “Relay Big,” which is likewise reflected in the Marysville/Tulalip Relay organiz-ers’ goals of recruiting 80 teams to raise $200,000 this year.

“The ACS does a great job of furnishing participants with the tools and resources to conduct successful Relays, but I’ve already seen great energy from Marysville and Tulalip,” Earling said. “These communities’ levels of awareness about cancer research, and the steps that are being taken to fight back, gives me a lot of hope. They’re on an awesome trajec-tory.”

The Relay activities on Saturday, May 18, aim to keep that momen-tum going with “Bark For Life,” “Paint the Town Purple” and “Brewin’ Up the Cure.” For the third year, “Bark For Life” will also return to Asbery Field, from 9 a.m. to noon, for a fee of $20

per dog.“We’re anticipating a great

turnout,” Earling said. “Last year, we had about 35 dogs and their owners attend, and we raised more than $4,000.”

Those who are interested in attending the event, starting a team or making a donation can go to http://relay.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/BFLFY12GW?fr_id=46074&pg=entry, or go to www.relayforlife.org and search for “Marysville.”

Earling expressed equal opti-mism about “Paint the Town Purple,” which gives businesses in the downtown Marysville area the opportunity to decorate their storefronts, in the week leading up to “Bark For Life,” to show support for the Bark and Relay For Life.

“These events are an awesome way for these area businesses to come together for the common cause of bringing awareness to finding a cure for cancer,” said Earling, who elaborated that “Brewin’ Up the Cure” is the cof-fee stand-specific part of “Paint the Town Purple.” “Each coffee stand will be able not only to decorate their stands, but also to sell little paper stars and moons

to their customers, which will be displayed in their windows. All the money raised will go toward the Marysville/Tulalip Relay.”

Earling encouraged partici-pants in both “Paint the Town Purple” and “Brewin’ Up the Cure” to come up with fun and wild decorations and displays, since Relay organizers are fram-ing it as a friendly competition and will be recognizing the busi-

nesses who raise the most money and have the best decorations.

In the meantime, Marysville/Tulalip Relay Committee meet-ings start at 6:30 p.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, and Relay team captains meet at 7 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, at the Marysville Holiday Inn Express’ banquet room, across the parking lot from the hotel itself.

4 The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe April 3, 2013THE PUBLIC FORUM

I drive 144 miles round trip to ski at Stevens Pass. Or on better days I bum a ride with

someone else but the distance is the same. We take Highway 9 southward to where we pick up U.S. 2 that carries us all the way to the pass. Given Highway 2’s grim record of fatal accidents, each trip is a little like Russian roulette but hey, if I craved safety would I be skiing?

I wouldn’t be skiing at all if there weren’t roads to take me to the snow. It takes road construc-tion, maintenance, snow-plowing, police, bridges, traffic control, and whatever to get me there and back. Every citizen with an income gets to share in that expense as they ante up taxes to the Washington Department of Transportation. Add the state’s $1.7 billion in fed-eral highway funds for this bien-nium alone.

It’s hard to pin down the total cost of the double-lane 72 mile stretch because of the history of highway construction and main-tenance that continues to be used, dating all the way back to 1925. And the work goes on. Figures are available for a new per-lane cost of a mile of blacktop highway but they escalate whenever roads carve into mountainous terrain. Bridges and cut-and-fills in the Cascade Mountains send flat land per-mile estimates through the roof.

About three-quarters of it is

two-lane. A stretch of four-lane plus passing or turning lanes help to run the total cost up. Little add-ons like the Sultan roundabout and chain-up areas have to be consid-ered. A good starting number for figuring current value of the high-way is the DOT’s average of $4.5 million for a mile of single lane of highway construction, barring complications.

If my 144-mile round trip were based on that single lane esti-mate, I use $648 million worth of highway to go skiing. But the 20 bridges between Lake Stevens and Stevens Pass that vary from glori-fied culvert lids to soaring bridges would cost somewhere between a hundred thousand and a hundred million dollars at today’s prices. So double the $648 million to $1.3 bil-lion for a somewhat realistic value to my ski route.

I use it toll-free! That $1.3 bil-lion trumps the entire history of Power Ball wins. It’s almost as large as the annual Gross Domestic Product of Belize. I can drive on past Stevens Pass to access all the rest of the roads and highways from sea to shining sea, all con-

structed for my (and others’) use. How’s that for tax dollars at work?

Voters don’t tend to think that way. All they see is govern-ment chipping away at disposable income. They think in terms of taxes making a slick new car unaf-fordable but what sense does it make to own a smooth-riding car if it doesn’t have decent roads to travel on?

Good roads are expensive. Seattle’s Alaskan Way project is estimated at $180 million to $267 million per mile, depending on which segment we’re talking about. The fix for I-5 in Everett between SR 525 and US 2 penciled out at a modest $15 million per mile. And $91.3 million is allocated for wid-ening the Mukilteo Speedway.

As with children, the cost of bringing new roads and bridges into the world is only the begin-ning. They all have to be main-tained in a timely manner. And when they aren’t, delayed mainte-nance proves over and over again that there is nothing as expensive as procrastination. Roads require crack sealing, de-icing, sign-washing, striping, applied herbi-cides and mowing of shoulders. Sometimes it doesn’t get done. I once got so irritated with algae-coated signs along Marysville’s 83rd Avenue that I washed them myself.

Not everyone has equal reason to feel my sense of ownership of

roads. It’s easy and natural for me because I travel a bit. It’s also natu-ral that shut-ins who use only local streets might balk at paying taxes to fund far-flung roads they may never see.

I don’t make a lot of money so, aside from gas tax, I probably don’t pay my fair share in taxes. I use roads for a mix of necessity and pleasure while truckers, tradesmen, buses, emergency services and farmers absolutely need them. The system might not be entirely fair but it works.

The reason it works is that everyone is obliged to support it. The shut-in benefits because caregivers, visitors and emergency vehicles are within reach. The same goes for armchair travelers who ride along with KCTS Channel 9’s Northwest Traveler or Rick Steves on road trips. The fact that some benefit more than others is a poor argument against a system that, in many ways, serves everyone.

Here’s a thought: The system of support for roads and the use of them could be a model for univer-sal health care. Though I’m not yet a heavy user of medical services I hope to see my taxes supporting a national health care system that serves everyone, regardless of their circumstance, the same way our highway system serves us all.

TULALIP — Marysville’s Samantha Love knows all too well the devastating, yet deceptively invisible, impact that multiple sclerosis can have on someone’s life, since it ended her military career.

Love served four years in the Army, including time on the ground in Afghanistan, but after experiencing a range of symptoms — among them tingling in her limbs, random periods of shaking, headaches and round-the-clock fatigue — she was diagnosed with MS in September of 2010, just before her 21st birthday, and honorably discharged in July of 2011.

Love and her friend and fellow MS sufferer, 57-year-old Linda Goldberg, are leading the “All You Need Is Love ... and a Cure” team for this year’s Walk MS fundraiser in Snohomish County, whose three-mile walk route will start and finish at the Tulalip Amphitheatre on Saturday, April 14. Their team has raised nearly $13,000 toward their $15,000 goal as of April 1, making them one of the top fundraising

teams for this year’s Walk MS in Snohomish County, but Love’s medical expenses underscore the degree of financial need facing MS patients.

“I wasn’t able to start collecting disability until November of last year,” Love said. “Until then, all of my medical bills were being covered by my own insurance and out-of-pock-et co-pay. Medical bills last year ran me $6,000 out-of-pocket. The injections I have to take would have cost me $14,000 without insurance.”

While Goldberg suf-fers from progressive MS, Love’s MS has been diag-nosed as relapsing and remitting, which poses its own problems.

“One week, I might be fine, but not the next,” Love said. “My legs will go out at random, but sometimes, I don’t need a cane at all, and that can change in an instant. People start to think you’re a hypochon-driac, because they’ll look at you and say, ‘Oh, but you look so good,’ but you never know when the MS will strike, or when it will stop.”

While Love is forced to

worry about her own symp-toms, she also expressed concern for the long-term plight of progressive MS patients such as Goldberg.

“It’s awful to see Linda getting worse, especially after all that she’s done for me,” Love said. “I’m really doing this for her, before it’s too late, because the aver-age person with MS tends to die seven years sooner than those without it.”

For more information on Love and Goldberg’s “All You Need Is Love ... and a Cure” team, log onto their website at http://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/AllYouNeedIsLove.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central ner-vous system. It usually affects people between the ages of 20-50, with varied and unpredictable symp-toms including numbness, loss of balance, vision prob-lems and paralysis. There is no cure for MS, but the Walk MS fundraisers aim to continue improving the treatments that help people live with and manage the disease.

The three-mile Walk MS in Snohomish County is set to kick off at 10 a.m. on

April 14, after a 9 a.m. reg-istration followed by a short program at 9:30 a.m., all at the Tulalip Amphitheatre.

For more informa-tion, contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Greater Northwest Chapter by phone at 1-800-344-4867, ext. 2, or online at www.walkmsnorthwest.org.

Walk MS helps those fighting the disease

ARLINGTON — Local high school students can win one of two $1,000 prizes in the “Four-Way Test Speech Contest” through Rotary District 5050. Students in grades 8-12 living in Arlington, Lakewood or Darrington can apply under the Rotary Club of Arlington. Public, private, home-schooled and exchange students are encouraged to participate.

Two $1,000 prizes will be awarded to the top two contestants. Both prize winners must be avail-able and able to travel to Vancouver, B.C., between May 30 and June 2 to deliv-er their speeches.

The contest is based on the Four-Way Test, a set of values and ethical stan-dards that Rotarians strive to follow. This test, which has been translated into more than 100 languages, asks, “Of the things we think, say or do: Is it the

truth? Is it fair to all con-cerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

Contestants may choose from a list of topics to develop a five- to 10-min-ute speech, and deliver a five- to seven-minute speech on the chosen topic. Speeches must address the four values of the Four-Way Test.

Applications are avail-able from A.J. Chase at the Rotary Club of Arlington, or online at www.rotary-clubofrlington.com. The entry form includes guide-lines, rules and recommen-dations for the speech, and a copy of the Four-Way Test.

Applications must be received by 11:59 p.m. Friday, April 5, and should be submitted to [email protected].

ARLINGTON — The boards of commissioners of three public hospitals in Snohomish and Skagit counties are conducting community forums to hear from the public what they think about proposals to affiliate with a larger health care system.

Recently, the boards

of commissioners of the Cascade Valley, Island and Skagit Valley hospi-tals unanimously approved sending out requests for proposals to the MultiCare Health System, PeaceHealth, P r o v i d e n c e - S w e d i s h , Virginia Mason Medical Center and University of Washington Medicine.

Partnerships and consoli-dations among health care systems have been occur-ring across the country and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Health care sys-tems are forming alliances to combine their strengths, focus on improving patient care, access capital and reduce the costs of health

care through the streamlin-ing of services.

The Cascade Valley, Island and Skagit Valley hospitals are seeking a part-nership with a larger health care system to enhance their patient care, extend their access to specialty services and augment clinical qual-ity, continue to recruit and

retain physicians and other providers, seek efficien-cies and cost containment opportunities, ensure long-term economic viability, and prepare for the rigors of health care reform and bud-get reductions at the state and federal levels.

The overarching goal of the process is to retain and

expand excellence in local health care for the people served by the three hospi-tals.

The Arlington commu-nity forum is scheduled for, Wednesday, April 10, at 7 p.m. in the Rainier Conference Room at Cascade Valley Hospital, located at 330 S. Stillaguamish Ave.

MARYSVILLE — Three years after receiving a less auspicious designation from the state, Totem Middle School has been spotlighted by the League of Education Voters for its significant accomplishments in those intervening years.

League of Education Voters CEO Chris Korsmo explained that the LEV’s 2013 Citizens’ Report Card, which was released on March 26, cited Totem Middle School’s push to up the numbers of students in its higher level math class-es, which prepare them for high school and beyond.

“This school’s success is a bright spot for Washington,” Korsmo said. “Their inno-vation and dedication to helping students reach their potential should be a model for schools across the state.”

Korsmo noted that half of Totem’s students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches, and yet almost all of the school’s students take Algebra I before they move on to high school, which he pointed out makes them better prepared to take the math courses that colleges and technical schools look for when admitting stu-dents.

Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Larry

Nyland expressed his pride in Totem’s staff for helping so many eighth-graders succeed in Algebra, which is traditionally a ninth-grade class.

“They have added extra periods and extra tutoring,” Nyland said of the Totem staff. “They constantly chal-lenge students to step up a notch. They have visited other schools to learn what else they can do. They have developed roadmaps that let students work at their own pace. Totem staff don’t give up. They find a way.”

Totem Middle School Principal Robert Kalahan recalled how, three years ago, Totem received a fed-eral school improvement grant as a “priority school.”

“It was a disheartening designation because for each of the three years in a row prior to that we’d seen gains of 11 percent in our reading scores,” Kalahan said. “We were making solid, steady gains in reading, but we realized we hadn’t made any

gains in math during that same time. So, we called a state of emergency and got everybody on deck to teach math.”

Totem began by doubling its Algebra classes from 30 to 60 students, and then expanded further by sched-uling double-periods of Algebra and working to help an additional 25 students get ready to take the state test. By the time Totem had enrolled nearly 100 eighth-graders in Algebra classes, 89 percent of them passed the end-of-course exam.

“We passed more Algebra students than all the other middle schools in town combined,” Kalahan said. “From there, we asked our-selves what more we could do, which led to us focusing on the sixth- and seventh-graders, to try and give them a math curriculum that would get them ready for Algebra by the eighth grade.”

Additional Algebra class-es, further double-periods

of Algebra and Totem teach-ers working on an elective basis to pre-teach Algebra skills soon added up to 180 Algebra students, 80 percent of whom passed the regular Holt curriculum.

“They weren’t as success-ful as the students the year before, but there were so many more students taking Algebra,” said Kalahan, who confirmed that nearly every eighth-grader at Totem now takes at least an Algebra class. “There’s been concern expressed over whether stu-

dents are being pushed to take Algebra too early, but my research of our local ninth-graders has found that their learning has con-tinued to accelerate in high school.”

Kalahan credited the suc-cess of Totem’s aggressive promotion of Algebra not only to teachers who believe that students can achieve at high levels, but also to teachers who are afforded extra time during the school day to intervene on behalf of struggling students.

“Thanks to the work being done at the Totem and 10th Street middle schools, as well as more students taking eighth-grade Algebra at the Cedarcrest and Marysville middle schools, we are now ahead of schedule in meet-ing our district goal for students taking and pass-ing eighth-grade Algebra,” Nyland said. “Eighth-grade Algebra is one of our steps to success, as a leading indi-cator of student success in graduation and college readiness.”

MARYSVILLE — The Eagles got quite the head start in game against Marysville-Pilchuck on Wednesday, March 27, but the Tomahawks gave them a run for their money in the last inning of the game which Arlington won 7-5.

The Eagles scored a run in the first, three in the third and three in the sixth, with the Tomahawks scoring only one run in the fourth inning. With Hayley Fields striking out 12 batters and going 2-4 with two RBIs, it was looking like an easy win for Arlington.

That is, until the seventh inning, when Marysville-

Pilchuck rallied a bit of a comeback.

“Haley Fritz scored a solo home run in the fourth inning, and Jordyn Nickolson hit a 3-run dou-ble in the seventh,” said M-P head coach Aaron Zachry. “She leads the league in doubles right now. We were down 7-1 and ended up scoring four runs in the

seventh inning. We had a lead-off single, a walk and a single to load the bases. My girls made adjustments at the plate and started playing off the rise ball.”

Putting in a comeback against the undefeated 4A team said something about the softball mentality of the Tomahawks. “Hayley Fields had 12 strikeouts in that game, so that helped them out a lot, but we made some adjustments and scored, and that makes a difference.”

Jordon Willard, a fresh-man pitcher for the Tommies, pitched four innings and proved to be a benefit to the team. “She’s been getting innings right from the beginning,” said Zachry. “She keeps hitters off balance and she’s han-dling herself really well.”

Fritz finished out the pitching for the last three innings, as the Eagles grew accustomed to Willard’s pitches. “Once she gets once or twice through the lineup, they get adjusted to her off-speed pitches,” said Zachry. “We brought in Haley Fritz and she started out throwing a change and got Hayden Fields out.”

Although the Tomahawks caught up in the seventh, Fields got her third out in the inning and closed the door on the Marysville comeback.

The Tomahawks went on to top cross-town rivals Marysville Getchell on Friday, March 29, 13-1. Casey Zachry went to 2-4 and hit a grand slam to fin-ish the game with five RBIs and three runs. Fritz was 3-4 and Nickolson was 3-4.

Arlington went on to compete in their first league match-up at Monroe on Friday, March 29. The game was close throughout, with a deadlock at 6-6 drawing it out to 12 innings. A final run by the Bearcats gave them the lead and dealt the Eagles their first loss of the season. Batting highlights include Katelyn McDonald being 3-6, with two doubles.

The Tomahawks, whose record is now 1-0 league and 4-4 overall, face Oak Harbor at home at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 9.

The Eagles, whose record is now 0-1 league and 5-1 overall, face Snohomish away at 4 p.m. on Friday, April 9.

Tomahawks’ rally falls short against AHS


MARYSVILLE — The Tomahawks earned an impressive 11-1 victory over Oak Harbor in a home game on Wednesday, March 27.

M-P’s Jake Luton pitched seven innings and allowed only one run from the Wildcats, in the second inning.

“Our starting pitcher, Jake Luton, came out and got off to a little bit of a slow start, but once he gets started he’s really great,” said head coach Kurt Koshelnik. “He started against Shorecrest last week, and it takes him a little while to get comfortable, but once he does, he’s in pretty good shape.”

On the offensive side, the Tomahawks earned consistent runs throughout the course of the game, scoring four in the first inning, three in the second, two in the third and two in the fifth inning.

“Our lead-off guy, Kyle Nobach, usually sets the pace for us, and when he gets us going, usually good things follow that and the kids feed off of that,” said Koshelnik.

The win followed a victory

against Oak Harbor on Tuesday, March 26, and was followed by another on Friday, March 29.

“Oak Harbor, they compete,” said Koshelnik. “We got up on them pretty good there and they didn’t quit, so I always admire that. I’m always nervous that my kids are going quit when we get down, you know, they are high school kids and sometimes they’ll do that. I admired how Oak Harbor fought the whole time.”

The Tomahawks’ record is now 4-1 in league and 5-1 overall. They face Mountlake Terrace at home at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3.

“Every game is just as important. They all count the same. We only have three non-league games this season, so they all count. It’s just one at a time,” said Koshelnik, who spoke briefly about the team’s ultimate goal.

“Obviously the answer that every kid will tell you, and I prob-ably would too, is to be the state champs. But it’s one thing at a time and, truly, our goal is to play our best baseball and whatever hap-pens, happens. We can be happy with that.”

MARYSVILLE — The city of Marysville is working in partnership with various local businesses, churches and nonprofit groups to bring back “Clean Sweep Week,” a series of free activi-ties to help residents get their spring cleaning off on the right foot, for the second year in a row, from April 20-27.

The tax preparers, work-ing out of Goodwill’s Job Training and Education Center, have helped resi-dents get back $566,237 in refunds, including $176,218 through the Earned Income Tax Credit, saving taxpay-ers more than $42,405 in preparation fees. The aver-

age income for those mak-ing use of the program is approximately $23,000 a year.

In addition to the Free Tax Preparation Center in Marysville, United Way has also established sites in Everett, Lynnwood and Monroe. The tax sites are staffed by IRS-certified vol-unteers. At each site, volun-teers are able to help people in English and Spanish.

The free service is intend-ed to help people who make $51,000 or less annually.

Over the past four years, United Way volunteers have prepared 9,181 tax

returns worth more than $15 million in refunds for Snohomish County work-ing families.

This year’s sponsors and partners include Boeing, the Washington State Department of Commerce, Moss Adams LLP, Goodwill, the Walmart Foundation and the Internal Revenue Service.

Although no appointment is necessary, people should bring picture IDs, as well as social security cards or tax identification numbers for everyone on the return, W2s or other income statements from all employers, any 1099

forms, records of student loan payments, records of payments for educational expenses such as college tuition, mortgage interest and property tax statements, bank account numbers to receive their refunds via direct deposit, last year’s tax returns if possible, and the names, addresses and tax ID numbers for child care pro-viders. If you’re filing jointly, both spouses must be pres-ent to file electronically.

United Way’s Tax Preparation Center in Marysville is at Goodwill’s Job Training and Education Center, located at 9315

State Ave., and is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-8:30 p.m., as well as on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

MARYSVILLE — While most other 10-year-olds wonder what sorts of pres-ents they might be getting for their birthday, Fallyn Gentry devoted her 10th birthday party to giving to others.

Fallyn’s birthday was Friday, March 15, but the party was scheduled for Saturday, March 16, and she was already discussing with her mom Rhesa in late January how they might turn the party into an opportuni-ty to bolster the inventory of the Marysville Community Food Bank.

“We’d sent out our invita-tions to everyone by early February,” Rhesa Gentry said. “We got about 11 girls, with Fallyn, as well as their adults. The Food Bank had never done anything like this before.”

The birthday party took place at the Food Bank itself, and instead of gifts for Fallyn, guests were asked to bring food items or financial donations, which yielded totals of 459 pound of food and an estimated $100 in cash for the Food Bank.

“It was cool to see how many pounds it went up to as we weighed it,” Fallyn Gentry said. “We were tak-ing guesses. Plus, we all got to go into the big freezer, which was really fun.”

The Gentry birthday party even managed to gen-erate half a dozen bins full of plastic bags in good enough condition for the Food Bank to reuse them.

“It looked a lot different from the first time I was there,” said Fallyn Gentry, who had previously visited the facility during the win-ter with her mother to drop off some donations. “There were a whole bunch of peo-ple there back then, and all the shelves looked really full. It was cool to see the freezer because even when we helped fill it up, it still had a lot of space. It felt like a fun dungeon.”

Rhesa Gentry explained that, as a student at the Northshore Christian Academy, Fallyn has been eager to go on the missions in which her older peers have been able to partici-pate.

“That’s how I knew she would want to help out with something like this,” said Rhesa Gentry, who assisted

Fallyn by getting the word out through Facebook and enlisting the aid of a num-ber of adult friends. “I’m so proud of her. I can only hope that this signals that she’ll continue to do positive things.”
