Social service groups were on hand to help the home-less and other folks in need at the first The Hand Up Project in Marysville this week. Clothes, food and other basic needs also were available.

MARYSVILLE – Debbie wrapped a warm London Fog coat around the other two jackets she was wearing, smiled and said, “This is a Merry Christmas.”
She was one of dozens of local homeless people who attended the Hand Up Project Resource Lunch at the Reset Church in
Marysville Dec. 16.One battle the homeless
constantly fight is that ser-vices are spread so far apart. At this event, the homeless had a variety of resources available under one roof.
“I’ve been telling every-body about it,” Debbie said. “I’m so excited. It can take three months to go every-where, and here just three

MARYSVILLE – The classic movie “Miracle on 34th Street” debates if Santa is real.
With the Miracle on State Street program in Marysville, there is no doubt.
Santa works every year with students in the lead-ership class at Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Four girls took the lead this year: seniors Claire Dobler, Amanda Kalab and Megan Stuart, along with sopho-more Bailey Nelson.
“It’s our baby,” Dobler said, adding they started the project in October.
Stuart said counselors at every elementary school in the district come up with names of families who are most in need of help at Christmas time. This year Miracle on State Street is helping 15 families, with one-to-five kids, ranging in age from 4 months to 21 years. Every class at M-PHS is assigned a family and either buys presents on the
kids’ wish list or donates the money so the leadership class can buy them.
The four girls were wrap-ping the presents this week. If there weren’t the same number of presents for each child, or if they really want-ed something they didn’t get, the girls made sure they “filled in the gaps,” Stuart said.
Dobler said items donat-ed included: three bicycles, a scooter, roller blades, $150 hair salon gift certificate, blankets, coats, socks, shoes and so much more.
“I don’t know how many ‘Frozen’ dolls” of Elsa and Anna, Dobler said.
Kalab said she’s had a good feeling working on the project.
“We’re helping out the whole community,” she said.
Nelson said it also makes her feel good inside.
“It’s one-hundred times better to give” than receive, she said.
“It’s heart-warming to know the kids will have something for Christmas instead of nothing at all.”

hours.Kari Torchia, an admin-
istrator with Hand Up, said, “Even I like one-stop shop-ping.”
She said clothes were donated by the truck load from places such as Walmart. About 50 hats were donated, along with health and knitted items.
Torchia said the leader of Hand Up, Robert Smiley, took backpacks full of sup-plies into the woods where homeless people sleep.
“That takes away the fear element and shows them a familiar face,” she said.
As a result of the trust he built with them, many showed up at the event.
“You establish the trust,
then they go back and tell their friends,” Smiley said. “They get help, and then their friends see what hap-pens.”
For example, he said at the mission in Everett five people said they want to be homeless. But months later three have jobs and hous-ing. Of the other two, one is in prison and the other on drugs, but that’s still a good percentage.
Smiley said building trust is key.
“They have a tendency to back away because they’ve given up on help,” he said. “Some people do it half-heartedly” to look good.
One of the more popular tables was that of Budget Mobile, which advertised free phones and texting. Babu Keita said they often go to shelters and food
banks to find clients. The state contracts with carriers to provide up to 250 min-utes of phoning and texting, as long as people can show they are receiving some type of public assistance, such as food stamps. Since 54 per-cent of Americans receive some type of public assis-tance, many people qualify who don’t know it, espe-cially seniors, he said.
Bill Gable of Worksource said he was there to help homeless veterans. He can help them find housing, training, jobs and even bus fare and clothes for an inter-view.
Dan Shedd, a deacon at the Reset Church, said he became interested in help-ing the homeless after a man came to the church just before Thanksgiving when temperatures were freezing,
asking for money to buy diapers.
“There’s such a need,” he said. “God put a burden on my heart to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless.”
Shedd has big dreams, including providing shelters for men, and women and children.
“This is more than the church,” he said. “This is community-wide, partner-ing together.”
Of the Hand Up event, he added: “This is a good beginning. This will help people who don’t have homes and are living on the streets.”
Smiley’s wife, Theresa, explained why her husband is so driven to help the homeless.
“He’s been in their shoes,” she said, adding he’s been clean for three years. “It
helps him stay sober.”She said the people at the
event in Marysville needed the help more than in other communities.
“They were a little more desperate and in need of stuff,” she said.
And Smiley himself said Hand Up is not done. Its volunteers will be transport-ing homeless who attended the event to various doctor and dental appointments.
“We’ll do everything we can for them,” he said. “We pick people up and drive them all over the place.”
Smiley said the event was rushed, put together in a month, but he’d like to “dig in here and stay here for awhile.” He said he seems to have the support of the community, churches, mayor and police.
“What can we do to make a difference here?” he asked.
Smiley said one change that could help the home-less tremendously is if EBT cards could be used as bus passes. That way they could get to jobs, job interviews, recovery appointments, etc. If their picture was on it, too, as identification, that would mean it couldn’t be traded for drugs.
“If they were found fro-zen somewhere there’d be I.D. on them,” Smiley said.
Smiley, who said he served 13 years in prison, added that people live on the streets for many reasons: drug addiction, mental ill-ness, runaways and so on.
“They just need an envi-ronment of support,” he said. “They are fighting each day.”
Just then, a woman came into the church bundled up as if she had come from Alaska. She recog-nized Smiley, but he didn’t remember her.
“I need your help,” she said, then broke down cry-ing.
He gave her a long hug, put his arm around her, and led her to the tables where she could get help.

MARYSVILLE — The negotiations between the Marysville School District and the Service Employees International Union Local 925 escalated when about 30 employees braved the cold, wet weather Dec. 14 to picket outside Totem Middle School.
That came after close to 50 picketed the district’s service center Dec. 11.
Donna Chrisman, the union president, voiced her objections to working on an expired contract, with not enough staff to cover the cafeteria shifts, and what she deemed insufficient health care and wages to attract new workers.
“Ensuring that there’s adult supervision for those kids is what’s most impor-tant,” Chrisman said.
“If one of us gets pulled away for another assign-ment, we don’t have enough folks left to cover for us. If our health care and wages aren’t competitive with the market, we won’t have peo-ple to replace us when we get sick or leave.”
Although Chrisman acknowledged that the union and the district had made progress in some areas, she could not com-
ment on the specifics. With the next session with a state mediator scheduled for Dec. 15, she expressed hope that their remaining issues could get settled.
“A lot of our people have to go to work now,” Chrisman said, “which lim-its how much time they can spend protesting.”
Craig Degginger, direc-tor of communications and community relations for the district, contended that the district has made “an extremely fair” offer and bargained “diligently in good faith” with the union since the early spring.
“The district and union have agreed on many items, and there are only three general areas of dis-agreement remaining,” said Degginger, who noted that both parties had agreed to state mediation.
SEIU members include custodians, maintenance workers, grounds workers, food service staff, para-professionals, health room assistants, nurses, bus drivers, dispatchers, bus mechanics, security officers, and staff from the building trades and print shop.
Degginger cited the eclec-tic needs of this group, and contrary to Chrisman’s claims, he asserted that
the district has developed its compensation and ben-efits offer by examining comparable positions in other regional school dis-tricts, complete with wage increases for each position in excess of the state’s 3-per-cent cost-of-living raise for school employees.
“It has been said public-ly that we are bargaining about safety for our stu-dents,” Degginger said.
“The safety and security of our students is not a bar-
gaining chip at the table, and the district will not allow it to become part of the discussions. The care and supervision of students entrusted to the district is our paramount obliga-tion, and we embrace that responsibility.”
MARYSVILLE – Gary Haga, Marysville’s walking evangelist, has died of can-cer.
Haga was well-known in the community for walking around Jennings Park wear-ing a sandwich board sign.
There were four sayings on it:
•Jesus maker of all things•Jesus 4Gives when
asked2•Jesus is the only way to
heaven•Are you saved? It’s EZ
John 3:16He would smile and wave
at people, and many would wave or honk back. He would wear his headphones and listen to Christian music.
When the community first found out he had ter-minal pancreatic cancer in August it responded with hundreds of Facebook mes-sages of support.
He found out about the cancer in March and did receive chemotherapy treat-ments despite the initial prognosis that he should just go on hospice.
Haga continued walk-
ing because he wanted to inspire people to get ready for the end of days.
“I believe the Lord is coming back soon. All signs point to it,” he told the Marysville Globe in August. “If you’re not ready, you won’t go. I’m ready.”
The Marysville Church of the Nazarene that Haga attended confirmed his death.
He leaves behind his wife, daughter, 40, granddaugh-ter, 15, and grandson, 5. He was 64.

Christmas is always a giving season, and many Arlington nonprofit organi-zations are at the forefront, not only during this season but all year around. Yet they are not always recognized for their unselfish help, and they always need your con-tributions and assistance.
Here’s just a sampling of the local groups that focus on helping families in need, seniors, youth and those seeking a “hand up” to ease their challenges in life.
•The Arlington Community Food Bank, 19118 63rd Ave. NE, offers food services Mondays and Fridays from noon-1 p.m. (for seniors and handicap), and Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30 p.m. For details call 360-435-1631.
•Arlington Kids Kloset, in the old Arlington High School, 135 S. French St., (360-435-4875), provides free clothing for eligible children, including jackets, socks and shoes. Services help low-income students in the Arlington, Darring-ton and Lakewood school districts, students in the Early Childhood Education Assistance Programs and any homeless and unac-companied youth within those districts.
•The Stillaguamish Senior Center Thrift Store, 18218 Smokey Point Blvd., provides clean, used cloth-ing and household items at low prices, often with sale prices up to 50 percent off. It’s a great source of help for seniors in the Arlington
area and beyond.•The Arlington Boys
and Girls Club, 18513 59th Ave. NE near the Arlington Airport, offers youth oppor-
t u n i t i e s for sports, g a m e s and many other ser-vices in a clean, safe envi-ronment. The club
is always in need of gift cards, board games, sports equipment, toys, art sup-plies, backpacks and health-ful snacks.
•Low-income expect-ant mothers and children receive a variety of ser-vices from the Pregnancy Aid Women, Infant and Children program in Arlington (360-435-3735), sponsored by Pregnancy Aid of Snohomish County, a nonprofit agency based in Everett. Participants receive nutrition education by trained staff, supplemental foods and infant formula. WIC vouchers are issued for purchasing approved foods. Counseling about healthful meals for both mothers and their children is provided by staff. The program is dedicated to improving the nutrition of infants, includ-ing instruction about breast feeding, the optimal infant feeding choice, plus WIC shopping vouchers for purchasing enhanced food packages.
•Cocoon House, based in Everett, also has a facil-
ity in Arlington that pro-vides supportive, super-vised group housing for homeless teen mothers and their infants, as well as pregnant teens 13 to 17, in a home-style, supportive environment. Donations of clothing, household items, backpacks, hair dryers and gift cards for Target, Fred Meyer, restaurants, hair salons and other services, as well as infant clothing and toys, are always needed. Phone number is 425-259-5802.
•Arlington Community Resource Center at 18308 Smokey Point Blvd. in Arlington, provides services and support for a variety of needs. Monetary donations and volunteers are always needed. Priorities included
providing job readiness preparation, financial coun-seling, access to resources for housing, medical care, substance abuse and family support. Current items in need include hats, gloves, rain ponchos, high protein canned food, manual can openers and large zip lock bags. Phone number is 360-386-7989.
As members of our com-munity in Arlington, I hope you will consider providing help and donations to these groups as well as other local nonprofit organizations that make our community better by helping others.

IN OUR VIEW
So, is there a problem or not?Right before the Nov. 3 election, we received a
letter from the Arlington firefighters union and vol-unteers saying their department was in dire straits.
We did not think it would be fair to do a story then because we didn’t have time to check the facts. But we have been trying to do one ever since and have been stonewalled by firefighters and the city.
The only comment we have received is from Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman, who said the letter was only “politically motivated.”
The letter sure seems worse than that. It says the community isn’t safe with the public
safety director position. It says Stedman is stretched too thin, and the fire department is hurting as a result.
It also says:•There is a loss of direction, a decrease in commu-
nication and significant decrease in morale.•There is an increase in turnover, losing six people
in two years. Another five are trying to leave, it says, “causing significant impact to our service level.”
•Emergency medical services also are dropping in the level of care, due in part to the loss of its director. Nobody is overseeing a program that is 80 percent of what they do, the letter says.
•Training is deficient, with business inspections not being done, and fire hoses not even being tested.
The letter goes on to say Chief Tom Cooper has done his best but tensions are high. He is simply “overwhelmed with the workload and little support,” the letter says. It notes administration has dropped from four to 2 1/2 in two years.
Despite that, call volume has increased 40 percent over six years.
The letter says, “At what point do we stop and ask, ‘Is this effective and safe?’”
We wonder the same thing. If things really are this bad why aren’t the firefighters and city letting the public know so something could be done.
It should not matter who was elected mayor or to the City Council. If this letter is correct, action needs to take place now. Public safety is nothing to play with.
The city will be looking into discontinuing the public safety director position and hiring a police chief next year. But if things really are this bad some-thing needs to happen in the interim.
But if this letter was just politically motivated, as Stedman suggests, shame on those behind it. Maybe firefighters don’t think city government appreciates them, but the public does. We hold firefighters in high regard. The profession should be above this type of political wrangling.
Does Arlington have safety issue?

Shoebox giftsMARYSVILLE —
Thousands of children will experience the joy of Christmas, thanks to the Marysville community.
Residents packed empty shoeboxes with small items like toys, school sup-plies and hygiene items for Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse that sends gifts to children worldwide.
Marysville volunteers and residents contributed to the Snohomish County Operation Christmas Child Area Team collection of more than 11,900 shoebox gifts for the project this year, a record over last year’s area collection of 10,589 gifts.
People can still get involved. Through the Samaritan’s Purse website, you can virtually “pack” a shoebox. For details, call 253-572-1155 or visit samaritanspurse.org/occ.

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville Rotary Club has just started giving out a monthly Community Service Recognition Award for Marysville School District high school students.
Tiffany Johnstone of Marysville-Pilchuck High School is the most-recent winner. Rotary members Mitch DePriest and Daryn Bundy presented the award to her at her school.
Tiffany is a tutor at M-P and Cedarcrest Middle School. She not only has given countless hours vol-unteering for the Marysville School District, but she also gives countless hours to the community. For exam-ple, she helped with the Marysville Rotary’s annual auction, which raises money to help with projects both for the community and internationally. Last summer Tiffany also earned a varsity Letter in recognition of her “Gift of Giving.”
The initial winner of the award was Elana Everybodytalksabout, another M-P student. She has regularly helped with the Marysville Food Bank. She also steps up on campus cleanup on a regular basis and also has volunteered
at the YMCA.She also helps with the special needs
students for their party. “We know that it is not a require-
ment for graduation to have commu-nity service in our district, so it is even
more special that students like Elana step up on their own to help out,” a Rotary news release says.
Along with a plaque, winners receive a $100 gift card, sponsored by Marysville Les Schwab.
MARYSVILLE – Michelle Wolford believes “Everybody Matters.”
She is part of that pro-gram, which helps young adults with special needs.
As a result, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring pre-sented her with the city’s Volunteer of the Month award Dec. 14.
“She has a heart for this type of work,” Nehring said.
Wolford is a long-time volunteer for the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Life Skills Parent Group. The program now extends past graduation as the group “Everybody Matters,” and is committed to advocacy and the development of opportunities for those with disabilities. She also serves on Nehring’s Committee on Creating and Sustaining Opportunities for People
with Disabilities.“She never hesitates to
step up. She has the ener-gy to give back,” Nehring said, adding that’s not easy considering work and other responsibilities.
Nehring said Wolford has a 19-year-old son with dis-abilities, so with her it’s “real life, not just theory.”
He added that before “Everybody Matters,” spe-cial needs students in “early adulthood had fallen through the cracks.”

MARYSVILLE – Police have arrested a 19-year-old Everett man in connection with this week’s drive-by shooting in Marysville.
City spokeswoman Bronlea Mishler said no one was injured.
Just after 2 a.m., officers were alerted to a shooting in the 4300 block of 88th
Avenue. Officers learned a house party was taking place when a fight broke out in the front yard. Some of the participants were told to leave. Several individu-als got into a vehicle and as they sped away fired shots towards the residence, Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said early
this afternoon.A few blocks away an
officer stopped the vehicle, which was impounded for evidence Dec. 15.
The arrested man was one of the passengers. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of first-degree assault and drive-by shooting.
Detectives are obtaining search warrants to both the house and the suspect vehi-cle to search for firearms and other evidence.
With assistance from the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office Collision Investigation Team, Marysville detectives mapped and measured the
street in front of the resi-dence.
The investigation required the closure of 88th Avenue for about 10 hours, but it is now reopened.
Detectives are asking for anyone who may have information about the shooting to contact them at 360-363-8326.

MARYSVILLE — Although many of the military members who assembled at the Marysville Cemetery Dec. 12 had years of service, the ceremony that took place was new to almost all of them.
“Wreaths Across America” officially became a nationwide event in 2007, after starting as a local event in Arlington, Va., in 1992. The purpose of lay-ing wreaths on the graves of veterans was to ensure their
sacrifices would not be for-gotten, during an occasion outside of Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Members of the local Arlington American Legion Post 76 served as the Color Guard, while soldiers from the 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command and the Marysville Armed Forces Recruiting Station, among others, stood at attention for the obser-vance, which was mirrored at more than 1,000 locations worldwide.
“The freedoms we enjoy
today have not come with-out a price,” Master Sgt. Mark Fogh said. “Lying here before us, and in cemeteries across the nation, are men and women who gave their lives so that we can live in freedom and without fear.”
Fogh cited the role of vet-erans not only in ensuring the freedoms to worship, speak, vote and raise our families as we see fit, but also in standing up for the oppressed.
“There are many men and women serving today in all branches of the mili-
tary, here at home and in places far away that most of us have never heard of,” Fogh said. “We honor them and their families for the sacrifices they make each day to keep our country safe from terrorism, hatred and injustice that plague the world community.”
Fogh noted that he’s served 23 years in the Army, and handles funeral services for the 364th ESC.
“Whenever you’re able to take part in an event like this, you always hear amaz-ing stories of what our vet-erans have endured,” Fogh said.
Sgt. Benjamin Wagner has served nearly nine years in the Army, and even after tours of duty in Iraq and
Afghanistan, he laughed and insisted, “They’re going to have to kick me out.”
Wagner followed in his father’s footsteps by join-ing the Army, and while he conceded the difficulties of the service lifestyle, he’s also found it rewarding.
“Sometimes we forget what the folks who came before us have done for this country, so it’s good to get everybody together to remember,” Wagner said. “The Army has been a great experience, and I’d do it all over again.”
Lt. Joshua Donaldson, commander of the 334th Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear Operations Company, had the option to allow seven
of his soldiers to volunteer in the wreath-laying cer-emony.
He chose to include his whole company, because “Wreaths Across America” was a new experience to him, and he’s always look-ing for new ways to honor veterans.
“And we’re just a couple of minutes away, so there’s no excuse,” Donaldson said. “This gives us a chance to engage with what the ser-vice should be about.”
David Delancy, of the Arlington American Legion, simply added: “We’re here because it’s a way to give more recognition to those who have been in uniform, including the ones who never made it back.”

LEGAL NOTICES
ARLINGTON — Sally Lien served on the Arlington City Council for 16 years before she left office
in 2011, and on Dec. 7, she died nearly a month shy of her 82nd birthday.
Sally was the sister of Ken Riker’s grandmother, but he always saw her as more of an aunt than a great-aunt because of how close they were. “She was very smart, very articulate,” Riker said.
“In a different time, under different circumstances, she might have gone further in her education, but to the extent that she was opinion-ated, it was because she was well-informed.”
Signe A. “Sally” Lien was born Nov. 11, 1933, the sixth child of Norwegian immi-
grants Andrew and Sigrid Lien. Riker noted how proud Sally remained of her heritage and her Lutheran faith, and how she embraced improvements and learning new things even as she held fast to traditions. “She loved Arlington and its people,” Riker said of Lien, who
graduated from Arlington High School in 1951. “She didn’t want to overhaul it. She wanted the town to keep its character. Sally wanted things to be more efficient, but she didn’t want them to change all that much. She was a very thoughtful per-son.”
Council member Marilyn Oertle served alongside Lien for 12 years, and felt wel-comed by her from the first. “She was always engaged and very knowledgable,” Oertle said. “She was very dedicated to the city on every level, and it was a privilege to work with her.”

LAKEWOOD — Senior Marissa Blair of Lakewood scored 28 points against Cedarcrest Dec. 12 and Lakewood won 66-57.
As a result she is the Marysville Globe-Arlington Times Athlete of the Week.
“My shot was on,” Blair said. “Our team, the practice before, worked on entries to the post — making sure you hit the post player when they’re open.”
She has been a consistent high scorer for Lakewood mostly play-ing wing but now playing more post. She’s 5-foot-10 and scores mostly inside, but can also hit 3’s, which make her tough to guard.
With her team’s record now 2-1, she has high hopes for the season.
“Our goal is to make it into regionals. No Lakewood team has ever made it to regionals,” she said.
Blair has had quite the career at Lakewood. She was the team’s leading scorer last season and has lettered numerous times. But despite her skills and passion in basketball, she wants to do some-thing else after high school. She wants to be a nurse.
“It’s really hard to be a nurse so now I’m like, ‘I really got to focus on my grades,’” she said.
Blair hopes to open an adult care home for the elderly, particu-larly for those with dementia or Alzheimers. It will be a lot of work in which she will need schooling, training, volunteer hours and state licensing to open a home.
Blair said she’s always liked help-
ing people, but her interest in car-ing for old people started when she visited care homes owned by friends and families.
“They say it’s the best thing they’ve ever done,” she said.
She has some fond memories visiting with the elderly.
“Old people are so cute and funny,” she said. “They love atten-tion when you hang out with them,” like playing with blocks.
She has an internship coming up after basketball season where she
can gain more experience required for a senior project.
But she also thinks her experi-ence in basketball will have some carryover.
Even her coach, Chris Walster has seen compassion Blair when she helps younger players on the team.
“If you work hard in life in gen-eral you’re going to get what you deserve to get,” Blair said. “And again, caring about people — I love my teammates.”

MARYSVILLE — Tulalip Heritage girls basketball player Adiya Jones scored a game-high 35 points to soar the Hawks over Grace Academy 57-36 Dec. 15. Heritage improved 4-0 and will play next Dec. 21 at Neah Bay.
MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell boys basketball team held off Lynnwood in the final quar-ter to win 50-42 Dec. 15 and improving their record 3-3. Collin Montez led MG with 18 points. MG’s next game will be against Bellingham, Saturday, Dec. 19.

EVERETT — An Arlington man admitted Dec. 14 that he is responsi-ble for killing Jessica Jones, a young mother who grew up in Marysville and on the Tulalip Reservation.
Jones was shot in the head April 8, 2014, dur-ing an argument with her boyfriend, Daniel Rinker. She died the next day when life-support measures were removed. She was 25.
When detectives con-fronted Rinker, he denied that he pulled the trigger. Instead, he insisted that Jones was hit by gunfire from a passing car.
A witness saw Rinker run from the garage and
toss something into a near-by field. Detectives found a silver revolver in some grass near where Rinker was spotted. The gun appeared to be the same revolver Rinker was holding in a pic-ture posted on Facebook.
Police believe that Rinker was becoming paranoid that Jones would leave him if he went to prison again. He has five felony convictions.
Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Millie Judge questioned Rinker, 26, about his change of plea. He quietly admitted that he killed Jones.
Rinker faces nearly 30 years in prison when he’s sentenced in February.
Rinker’s legal troubles may not be over. He remains charged with two counts of second-degree rape of a child. Detectives say Rinker was having a sexual relation-ship with a then 13-year-old girl, who reportedly told them the two had sex mul-tiple times, including after Jones was shot.
Prosecutors allege that Rinker told the girl, then 13, to get an abortion. He advised her to drink bleach and Pepto-Bismol, charging papers say. The conversa-tion happened while Rinker was in jail. Inmate phone calls are recorded. That trial is scheduled to start in March.

MARYSVILLE — Bicyclist Paul Rodriguez arrived in Marysville dur-ing a typical bout of Pacific Northwest weather, but in his five years of pedaling across the country to raise awareness for brain can-cer, it was hardly the worst storm that the Jacksonville, Fla., native has weathered.
“I had my bike sto-len in Hollywood,” said Rodriguez, whose latest trip began in his home state on June 7. “I also lost my glass-es.” Rodriguez rates these inconveniences as minor compared to the cause that he’s promoting, one with which he has a personal connection.
Rodriguez’s brother, Philip, was diagnosed with
glioblastoma, the most common and deadliest of brain cancer, in November of 2009.
“It was embedded in his spinal cord, so it wouldn’t allow them to remove it all,” Rodriguez said. “He had to relearn how to walk and talk.” In March of 2010, at the age of 37, Philip died after falling into a short, sudden coma.
One month later, Rodriguez had sold his house and cars, bought a bicycle and began the first of his many cross-country rides. “I spoke to my broth-er every night on the phone, as he regained the power of speech,” Rodriguez said. “One night, I said how I wanted to let people know what I’d learned about brain cancer, and I thought of rid-ing my bike across America
to do it. He told me I should do that. The next morn-ing, our mom couldn’t get him up. Eight hours later, he passed away.”
Five years later, at age 51, Rodriguez can tell those he meets that there are more than 150 types of brain can-cer, just about all of which are extremely difficult to treat. “It’s like stepping on a piece of old gum on a hot day, and you can’t quite get it out of your sneaker treads,” Rodriguez said. “If even a little bit is left behind, it grows back aggressively.”
Rodriguez’s ride last year took him to Maine, with a stop in Phoenix, N.Y., to meet its mayor, Anthony Fratto, before he died of brain cancer. Although brain cancer has afflicted public figures ranging from professional baseball player Tug McGraw to Sen.
Edward Kennedy and Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau, Rodriguez pointed out that it has relatively few celebrity spokespersons.
Still, Rodriguez has made connections with brain cancer patients, and oth-ers affected by the disease, across the country. He posts photos and updates of his travels on his Facebook page, titled “The Mission: cycling for brain cancer awareness,” and makes con-nections with members of local support groups.
“Everybody knows some-body who’s suffered some form of cancer,” Rodriguez said, “but the frustrating thing about brain cancer is that we know so little about what causes it. My mom is a breast cancer survivor, so I’m glad that cause gets as much attention as it does, but I just wish that we could be as proactive in dealing with brain cancer.”
As he headed out from Marysville Dec. 11, Rodriguez explained that he planned to hit the Canadian border, then swing down to Ashland, Ore., to meet with the family of Alex Shepherd, who died of brain cancer in May at the age of 13.

The Washington Traffic Safety Commission would like to remind people to plan ahead and use alternative trans-portation after drinking alcohol or using marijuana during holiday celebrations. The WTSC is partnering with police to help end traffic deaths by 2030 as part of Target Zero.
Bars will be featuring anti-DUI materials and encourag-ing patrons to take a safe ride home. Uber will be offer-ing riders $20 off their first trip, with the promo code RIDESAFEWA. Preliminary Fatality Analysis Reporting data shows more than 500 traffic deaths this year, nearly 100 more than last year. Extra DUI enforcement patrols will end Jan. 1 in Arlington, Marysville and elsewhere. For details, visit www.targetzero.com.

Sally Lien passed away D e c e m b e r 7, 2015. She wa s b o r n N o v e m b e r 11, 1933 in A r l i n g t o n , WA. She was the sixth child of Andrew and Sigrid Lien, immigrants from Norway. She graduated from Arlington High School in 1951.
Sally married Bill Bacon in 1958. They later divorced.
She studied bookkeeping and accounting and worked her entire adult life up until a few months ago. Sally loved her siblings and their families and always made sure to stay in touch with the whole family, taking an interest in how each one was doing. The family returned this love and will miss her dearly. She was an Eisenhower Republican and served as a precinct committee woman for many years. She was elected to the Arlington city council in 1995, earning a reputation as a diligent, practical leader over the next 16 years as the city grew and went through many changes. Sally was an infant baptized, childhood confirmed member of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Arlington. She was active in church activities and services, including singing in the choir.
She was preceded in death by her parents,
b r o t h e r s Alfred Lien a n d h i s wife, Julia, and Conrad Lien; sisters G e r t r u d e , Cla ra and Agnes and their husbands
Olaf Floe, Sigvald Sande and Palmer Molstad; nieces Susan Floe, Phyllis Thoms, Elaine (Bud) Anderson and June (Walter) Dellwing; and nephew, Merle Sande.
She is survived by special niece Chris (Jim) Cochran; nieces Carri (Jim) Nielsen and Dorothy Ross; nephews Ivan (Marian) Molstad, Andrew (Dottie) Lien, Melvin (Anne) Molstad, Jim (Alice) Brisbin, and Howard (Leona) Brisbin, and niece by marriage, Mary Ann Sande. She also leaves many much loved great and great, great grand nieces and nephews too numerous to list, as well as cousins, extended family, colleagues, neighbors and friends.
The family would like to thank the Staff and Administration of the Josephine Sunset Home for the care, love, and kindness they showered on Sally the past few months.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church (Arlington) and The Loyal Heights Cemetery Association, or the charity of your choice.

BY STEVE [email protected]
MARYSVILLE – Peter Condyles believes “it’s bet-ter to give than receive” but he didn’t mind getting at the Marysville City Council meeting Dec. 14.
For six years or more Condyles, 17, and a senior at Lake Stevens High School, has been giving gifts to council members Christmas presents at their final meeting of the year.
Last year he gave them Christmas tree ornaments, but this year he gave them Christmas stockings filled with candy. “I got to eat the leftover candy,” he said.
Condyles started going to council meetings when the late Dennis Kendall was mayor in 2008. “He was so nice to us,” Condyles said. “He took me under his wing. We miss him a lot.”
When Mayor Jon
Nehring took over for Kendall, Condyles said it was a seamless transition, and he’s continued to come to council meetings. He also works for council member Rob Toyer so he stays in the know that way.
“When a project is going on I like knowing what it is” before most other people do,” he said. “I like know-
ing what’s going to happen before it happens.”
Even though he goes to council meetings, he’s not interested in being a politi-cian.
“I hate that title,” he said.Condyles went to
Evergreen Boys State to learn about the political process firsthand last sum-mer. He didn’t particularly like it. “The camp’s a breed-ing ground for politicians.”
Condyles said he didn’t like the way other campers tried to cram through laws.
“It just didn’t seem right to me,” he said.
He was totally against the budget his party tried to pass. “It was completely irresponsible,” he said.
Condyles stood up to a party leader who got in his face trying to pressure him.
As for his gift, city staff were appreciative.
“Peter, you’re an out-
standing citizen,” Police Chief Rick Smith said. “You’re so thoughtful.”
Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen said, “It’s the only stocking I will get this year full of goodies.”
Council Member Michael Stevens said his fam-ily always enjoys the gifts from Condyles. “Merry Christmas and God bless,” he said.
For the first time, Condyles in turn received some gifts from city staff.
“That’s pretty cool,” he said. “I can’t wait to open them.”
In other city news:•The council voted to
accept funds to help pay for making pedestrian and bicycle improvements near Marshall Elementary on 116th Street NE. “We love that grant money,” Nielsen said.
•The council also agreed
to an amendment that could ultimately end its Joint Operation of Fire and Emergency Medical Protection Facilities agree-ment two years early on Dec. 31, 2016.
•The council discussed the new Qwooloolt Estuary, with council member Stephen Muller saying people are stopping along Sunnyside Avenue to watch the beautiful sunsets. But council president Jeff Vaughan said there were concerns in the neighbor-hood of flooding with all the rain and then the high tides last week. “We’re keep-ing an eye on it,” said Gloria Hirashima, chief admin-istrative officer. Nielsen remains excited about the estuary. “Scientists are going to study it for years,” he said. Regarding flooding, he added, “With erosion we will get bigger channels.”
Smith said there have been a rash of burglaries on the south end of the city, but a suspect has been caught, as has another burglar who hit the Judd and Black store.
Nielsen said he looks for-ward to the new year when new money comes in for new projects. He said he is working with the state department of transporta-tion to fix the traffic signal at 88th and 36th. “We hear about it every week,” he said.
•Parks director Jim Ballew talked about the holiday lights event doing well despite windy and wet weather causing the first day to be canceled. “Frosty (the snowman) looked like he was doing hot yoga,” when the wind was blowing that Saturday, he said.
•Nehring said, “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and I look forward to a great 2016.”

BY STEVE [email protected]
MARYSVILLE – State Sen. Kirk Pearson was the perfect guest speaker for Andrea France’s class.
Pearson, R-Monroe, per-sonified “perseverance” and “grit” and “getting back on track academically,” she said. He spoke about his education and career to France’s AVID classes this week. Her goal was to show that even successful people struggle in life.
The Advancement Via Individual Determination students heard other themes they have been studying, such as taking advantage of opportunities, believing in self and volunteering.
“There are big themes no matter what our career choices,” France said.
Pearson talked about being interested in poli-tics since the fourth grade, when his grade school had a mock election during the Nixon-Humphrey race. In high school he made “some promises he shouldn’t have” but was elected junior class president and as a senior he
was student body president, graduating from Monroe High School in 1977. He went to Wenatchee Valley Community College and majored in “football.” He then went to Central Washington University and continued to struggle aca-demically after getting mar-ried and finding a job.
“If you go to college do it early on. If you try to go back it’s hard,” he said. He can’t regret not finishing. “Family was first for us.”
Pearson volunteered for various boards and commit-tees before running for state representative in 1992.
“I never ran a campaign before. I didn’t know how to do it,” he said.
He did a lot of door-belling, managed to raise $75,000 and just barely lost to Hans Dunshee.
Two years later he ran again, but that time lost in the primary. “I was devas-tated. You invest a lot of self in campaigns,” he said.
Years later he ran again. At the first count he was down 1,500 votes, and many supporters left. “You find
out who your friends are.”But when the next num-
bers were released he pulled ahead to stay.
He was in the House for 12 years, and is in his fourth year in the Senate.
Pearson said he knows his career could end anytime.
“I’ve lost twice before. It’s not earth shattering. It could happen anytime. It’s the danger of politics. Life goes on,” he said.
Pearson, 57, said even if he lost he still would want to be involved, volunteering somewhere. “I love doing things for other people.”
Pearson said a person has to have a thick skin to be in politics. “Don’t take things personally,” he said. “People say horrible things. You have to forgive and go on.”
He said those lawmakers are not partisan, “like you see on TV. There’s only 49
in the Senate, so we have to work together.”
He said there are a num-ber of bills he doesn’t like at first, but by working togeth-er they can often find things they can agree to.
A low percentage of bills are passed so to get them through the process he has to remember, “It’s not about me.. When you’re thinking about other people you’re not thinking about your-
self,” he said.Pearson said he’s not in
politics for the money, as he makes just $45,000 a year.
“If you love what you’re doing who cares?” he said.
France said she invited Pearson because he is local and makes decisions on bills effecting schools. The class researched and asked ques-tions about his bills.
“It puts a face to the issues important to us,” she said.
