EVERETT — Marysville’s Laikyn Drake was one week old when her daddy finally came home.

Laikyn’s mom, Ashley Drake, arrived at Naval Station Everett on the morning of Dec. 16 with her other daughter, 5-year-old Riley, in tow, as they waited to greet Ashley’s husband, Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Drake, with the return of the USS Nimitz from its extended deployment.

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier had left Everett on March 30 for what was originally planned as a six-month deployment, which turned into nine months when the Nimitz and its strike group were called upon to remain in the 5th Fleet area of responsibility in response to what the U.S. Navy deemed a tense international situation.

This left local moms like Ashley Drake hold-ing the fort without their husbands for a bit longer than they’d expected.

“The Navy family is a great support system,”

said Ashley Drake, who’s been married to Ryan for six years, with Ryan serving in the fleet for nearly two of those years. “I was also able to lean on my friends and family back home in Oklahoma. I came back to the area in August, because I thought he’d be back by October. It was sad for us when we heard that he’d be stay-ing out for a while longer, but we knew we could handle it.”

Drake acknowledged that raising their 5-year-old daughter on her own in the meantime has been her biggest challenge, “since she didn’t understand why Daddy had to be so far away for so long,” but the two parents had already planned to stay at home, order takeout and simply spend their first day back together as a family.

“It’s just good to be home,” said Ryan Drake, who apologized to his daughter Riley for not being able to pick her up and hug her right away, since he was still loaded down by carrying his bags. Although Riley had a few tearful moments

MARYSVILLE — The holiday toy store that was started to serve clients of the Marysville Community Food Bank has expanded to serve a broader base of shoppers in the community, but its number of customers this year seems to be hold-ing steady from last year’s total, according to Bonnie Ramsey, who’s long co-chaired the toy store with fellow veteran volunteer Sue Kendall.

“It’s not just the Marysville Community Food Bank,” Ramsey said on Dec. 18, the first of two days during which the toy store served registered clients this year, with crews averaging rough-ly 20 volunteers an hour,

out of a total of as many as three dozen volunteers. “Allen Creek Community Church’s Seeds of Grace food bank has also started referring their clients to our toy store. We’ve registered families through churches and even school counselors. It’s not a bunch of miscel-laneous toy stores scattered throughout the community anymore. We’re all working together now, and becoming one home.”

Ramsey estimated that the toy store would provide toys for about 1,100 chil-dren, “pretty much the same as last year,” and thanked the host of organizations whose support has remained con-stant throughout the years, including Zumiez, which

as she waited for her daddy on the pier, she was com-forted by her mother and Arlington’s Andrea Daniels, the “New Mommy” coordi-nator for the Nimitz, who was waiting for her own husband, Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Daniels.

“I have twin 4-year-old boys and a 1-year-old

daughter, but I couldn’t bring them today and coordinate things for the new mommies,” Andrea Daniels said, as she held up a sign informing her hus-band, “I can’t wait to lift with you,” since the couple shares an enthusiasm for fitness, and had planned to visit Pilchuck CrossFit in Arlington. “The exten-sion was a bummer, but this deployment actually went by really fast for us.”

For Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Blanton, who also lives in Arlington, those nine months felt a lot longer, not in the least because he spent most of them waiting to meet his now 6-month-old daughter Bailey.

“It’s overwhelming,” Charles Blanton said, as he kissed Bailey on the fore-head and embraced her mother, Kate Blanton, who met him at the pier with her parents, Tom and Linda Briggs.

“He wasn’t there to see her being born, but he was able to watch it on Skype when he was in port,” Kate Blanton said. “It’s been stressful without him, but thankfully, she’s a very good baby.”

“She’s her daddy’s baby in that regard,” laughed Linda Briggs.

Although Arlington’s Jennifer Bueso is not a new mom, since her son Benny is 3 and her daughter Lydia is 8, this was nonetheless only the second deployment of her 11-year marriage to Petty Officer 2nd Class Holmer Bueso.

“I got lucky,” Jennifer Bueso said, while her chil-dren held up signs on the pier for their daddy. “I just

have to be as independent and positive as I can be while he’s gone, and have faith in God that he’ll see me through.”

Because of the deploy-ment’s extension, Jennifer had to complete the process of buying a new home with-out Holmer this June.

“We were sending paper-work back and forth, from

ship to shore,” Jennifer Bueso said. “He hasn’t even seen the new house yet.”

“And he needs to help me clean my room,” Benny Bueso said, drawing laugh-ter from his mother.

After Holmer Bueso helped his kids take care of their chores, he and his wife planned to enjoy some Chicken Alfredo, which

was their wedding entree and has become the tradi-tional meal for his home-comings.

“He also wanted us to wait to put the Christmas lights up until he came back,” Jennifer Bueso said. “He’s looking forward to catching up on his movies and telling our kids stories about his time at sea.”

MFD asks public to help them ‘Keep the Wreath Green’

MARYSVILLE — It’s that time of year again, when the Marysville Fire District asks the city’s citizens to help keep the wreath green.

As you drive by any of the district’s fire stations, you’ll notice a giant wreath cov-ered in green bulbs, which is part of the district’s annual “Keep the Wreath Green” program.

As part of the program, the green bulbs are changed to red whenever there is

a structure fire in the Marysville Fire District. The bulbs are changed to white when a firefighter anywhere in the United States dies in the line of duty.

It’s the Marysville Fire District’s way of reminding people that, although there is a lot to keep people busy during the holiday, fire prevention should be on their minds every day.

The “Keep the Wreath Green” program runs through New Year’s Day, and will serve as a reminder, to those who pass the fire stations, to keep this holiday season a safe one.

For more information about how to keep your family fire-safe this holiday season, visit the Marysville Fire District’s website at www.marysvillefiredistrict.org.

Robinson appointed as new state Representative for 38th District

On Monday, Dec. 16, the Snohomish County Council unanimously adopted a motion naming June Robinson as the new state Representative for the 38th Legislative District.

Robinson will fill a vacancy created when John McCoy was chosen in November of this year to serve in the state Senate.

In accordance with state and county laws, the County Council began the afternoon by conducting interviews with three can-didates whose names were forwarded by the Snohomish County Democratic Central Committee — Deborah Parker, Jennifer Smolen and June Robinson.

“We were impressed by the quality of these candidates,” Council Chair Stephanie Wright said. “Their diverse experiences and commitment to public service would make

each of them a valuable addition to the legislature.”

Following the interviews, the Council met in a special session, during which Robinson was nominated and approved on a 5-0 vote.

Robinson will fill the vacancy until a suc-

cessor is elected and qualified in the 2014 general election.

“It was a difficult decision, with such qualified candidates, but I am very happy with our choice,” Council member Brian Sullivan said. “June will do an outstanding job representing her district.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council’s final meeting for the year, on Dec. 16, included a final farewell to two of its Council members, who were hon-ored by city officials.

Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert prefaced her remarks by praising city of Arlington staff members for the information with which they had provided Council members throughout the year, which Tolbert credited with helping the Council work through the issues fac-ing the city with forward-thinking solutions, before she turned her attentions to Klein.

“Ken, we’re so sorry to see you go, but we look forward to working with you again on the Snohomish County Council,” Tolbert said to Klein, whose wife Julianna and three small children — sons Jackson and Grant, and daughter Alyssa — sat in the audience. “It’s been a pleasure to serve with you. You brought to this Council a depth of knowledge and

a real heart for the city of Arlington, which never failed to shine through. I hope your lovely family will continue to visit us.”

When Tolbert addressed Baker, she asked him to stand and presented him with a plaque in recognition of his years of service on the Council.

“You’ve had a rare heart for public service, and for 12 years, you’ve acted on behalf of the betterment of this community, helping it stay on the right direction and giving generously of your time and expertise,” Tolbert told Baker. “The last two years have been especially notable, as you’ve welcomed debates and everyone has come out better for it.”

While Klein will be tak-ing up fellow Republican John Koster’s former seat on the Snohomish County Council, Baker joked that he’s already been asked by the Arlington Arts Council to serve as a lobbyist for their works, drawing laugh-ter from the crowd.

As the two outgoing Council members reflected

on their respective tenures, they echoed each other on a number of points.

“I’ve enjoyed serving the citizens of this city,” Baker said. “I’m also proud of the changes we’ve made, because I think they’ve left this city in a lot better shape.”

“Absolutely,” Klein agreed, as two of his children joined him at his now-former Council seat, while his youngest son Grant napped in the audience seats. “What we’ve done is focus on the long-term issues, rather

than limiting our planning to every couple of years.”

Baker and Klein likewise shared many of the same opinions in the advice they would offer to their succes-sors — Jesica Stickles and Jan Schuette, respectively, both of whom were in atten-dance that evening.

“Study well,” Baker said.“Read up on everything,”

Klein agreed. “Be prepared with questions. No one has all the answers to any ques-tion, so I always saw it as my duty to bring up a differing point of view.”

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring is seeking indi-viduals interested in serving on his Diversity Advisory Committee.

Established in 2011, the committee’s role has been to identify and prioritize issues concerning diversity and inclusion, and to be a sounding board for guiding the dialogue important to the community’s social and cultural future.

“Marysville is commit-ted to becoming a more diverse, inclusive and pros-perous community that val-ues diversity,” Nehring said. “We strive to be a com-munity that takes pride in our diversity, creates an environment where differ-ences are valued, and builds a sense of belonging.”

The Diversity Advisory Committee has taken actions contained in its two-year work plan to promote diver-sity, and to help Marysville become a more welcoming, inclusive community. The committee has conducted several community presen-tations with local stakehold-ers, developed publications in different languages, put together plans for an annu-al multicultural fair, and

reached out to minority pop-ulations in Marysville.

Nehring is looking for citi-zens who reflect the racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity of the Marysville and Tulalip communities. The committee advises him on policy matters involv-ing the community’s cul-tural and ethnic differences, ensuring that these differ-ences are considered in the decision-making process.

If you are interested in serving on the committee, please send a brief letter of interest no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 27, to:

SMOKEY POINT — The food bank program at Jake’s House Prayer & Worship Center, located in Suite 105 at 18824 Smokey Point Blvd., was able to help at least three families in need during its inaugural Friday afternoon on Dec. 13.

Jaymi Graham, one of the coordinators of the food bank at Jake’s House, credited Arlington’s Mission Motors with donating $500, which will allow the food bank to supply meals to many more families, as its Friday after-noon distributions continue through the winter months and beyond. She also noted the roughly 15 volunteers who pitched in, a number which she acknowledged is likely to vary from week to week, depending on pro-spective volunteers’ avail-ability.

“One person even got saved, which is most impor-tant, and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior,” Graham said. “This is not forced on our clients, but offered.”

Graham hopes to see at least as many volunteers and families during the food bank’s second Friday, from 12:30-2:30 p.m. on Dec. 20.

“We are ready to serve

as many people this com-ing Friday as God sends our way,” Graham said. “God will equip us with the blessings to provide to others.”

Graham explained that food bank clients on Dec. 13 were free to choose one of each type of food, from four cafeteria-sized tables of non-perishable food items, as well as enough individual items of clothing to assemble one complete outfit, also from four cafeteria-sized tables of neatly folded clothing items and shoes.

“Our clients could get dressed from head to toe with our clothes, and even received knitted blankets from Knit Wits and Happy Hookers,” Graham said.

Graham welcomed any new donations of non-expired non-perishable foods, as well as winter clothes for all ages.

“Non-alcoholic beverages, baby food and other baby items were among the sup-plies that we weren’t able to give this past Friday, and we have no bread connections,” said Graham, who expressed her preemptive apprecia-tion to any other local busi-nesses that might choose to contribute to the food bank at Jake’s House. “We could really use gift cards for retail

stores, gas, oil changes and shoe stores. They can mail these to Jake’s House, and designate that they should be used for the food bank and clothing drive. We can supply them with tax ID numbers for write-offs, if needed.”

Among the other busi-nesses that have already donated to the Jake’s House food bank, Graham listed McDonald’s, Great Clips, Sports Clips, Subway, Little Caesar’s Pizza, Value Village, the Tree of Life Christian Outlet and the Marysville YMCA.

“It’s time for a change in our communities, and the only way to conquer that is to get all our individuals and local businesses involved,” Graham said. “When fami-lies are in need, it’s not only food that is needed, because their everyday living expens-es still have to be maintained. We just want people to think

outside of the box. We want to be the change to set forth the example for our future generations.”

Graham reiterated her belief that coming together to care for one’s community is an essential part of the Christian faith, serving God by serving one’s fellow man, and she insisted that any size of donations would be appreciated.

“Without your donations, none of this would be pos-sible,” said Graham, who also thanked the volunteer and prayer teams of Jake’s House, including pastors Keith Kippen, John Knoch, Terry Bonner and Chuck Sweet. “Your acts of kindness will not be forgotten. We appre-ciate your loving hearts, hard work and dedication.”

For more information, call Jake’s House at 360-659-8900, or Jaymi Graham and her daughter Kaylee at 360-363-4462.


MARYSVILLE — The Marysville City Council recently awarded $90,000 in hotel/motel tourism grants, that will fund costs asso-ciated with the Marysville Strawberry Festival, a holi-day lighting tour at the Cedarcrest Golf Course, and other festivals and events.

The following projects were recommended by the Hotel/Motel Tax Grant Committee, and adopted by the City Council on Nov. 25:

n $30,000 to the city of Marysville for special event support services.

n $25,000 for the Marysville Strawberry Festival’s annual festival costs.

n $20,000 to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce for visitor and tourism sup-port.

n $5,000 for “Merrysville for the Holidays” promo-tional campaign.

n $5,000 for the Holiday Tour of Lights at the Cedarcrest Golf Course.

n $2,750 to the city for a tourism and economic development sub-website.

n $1,250 to the Marysville Dog Owners Group for Poochapalooza.

n $1,000 for the Scrub-A-Mutt annual fundraising dog wash.

The fund was created under state law, by a per-bed tax assessed on hotels and other overnight accommodation establish-ments.

City Council member Kamille Norton chaired the committee, which con-ducted interviews with the applicants on Nov. 6.

MARYSVILLE — The fourth annual holiday bazaar on the Marysville Getchell High School campus on Dec. 14 was its big-gest yet, with 117 vendors in the MG gymnasium drawing an esti-mated 900 shoppers that Saturday, which generated $3,175 in revenue, or about $2,700 in profit, for the school’s Future Business Leaders of America.

Kris Mikesell of the Marysville Getchell School for the Entrepreneur, who serves as the faculty advisor for the MG FBLA, noted that this event began four years ago with only 35

vendors, and attributed the increase since then to effective promotion and positive experiences for the vendors themselves.

“After glancing over the reviews from the vendors, they were happy to be part of this year’s event, and are already looking forward to next year,” Mikesell said. “The kids are getting the word out to the vendors, and the vendors appreciate how the kids go the extra mile with customer service, by loading shoppers’ cars for them.”

While virtually all of the stu-dent volunteers who coordinat-ed the event are enrolled in the School for the Entrepreneur, and most are part of FBLA, other stu-

dents had clubs and other orga-nizations on site representing all four Marysville Getchell Small Learning Communities, including the Academy of Construction and Engineering, the Bio-Med Academy and the International School of Communications.

“Our shoppers love all the help they get from the students, as well as the great variety of vendors’ products and foods,” Mikesell said. “As this becomes a well-known and established annual event, more and more shoppers and vendors alike are catching on, which helps our FBLA defray the costs of participating in state and national-level business-related events.”

For those who missed the holiday bazaar this winter, Mikesell encour-aged them to visit the Marysville Getchell High School campus on May 3, 2014, for the MG FBLA’s third annual spring bazaar.

Mikesell credited School for the Entrepreneur senior Franqui Rojas with coordinating much of the event, while Rojas, who’s been in FBLA since her freshman year, insisted that Mikesell had made the process of preparing for and con-ducting the holiday bazaar relatively easy.

“The first week of this school year, Mikesell asked if I’d mind taking this on,” said Rojas, who’s aiming to enter the University

of Washington’s Foster School of Business. “From September through December, it’s been a crazy amount of work for everyone, but I like crazy. I loved planning this out and talking to all the vendors, because I’d like to plan events like this for my career.”

“This has been a great opportu-nity to help these students experi-ence event-planning and exercise their business skills,” Mikesell said. “It’s all organized by the students themselves. All I do is contact the vendors. The students did a great job, and I’m so proud of them. They problem-solved, practiced outstanding customer service and worked very hard.”

ARLINGTON — It’s been a few years since he’s put in an appearance at Arlington Hardware & Lumber, but Santa Claus will be coming to visit with families and pose for photos on Dec. 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Amanda Jones, wife of Arlington Hardware & Lumber manager Taylor Jones, encouraged families to bring their own cameras, to capture their children’s holiday moments with old St. Nick, and welcomed visi-tors of all ages to check out what the rest of the store has to offer that Saturday.

“We’ve got treats for everyone,” Amanda Jones said. “We’re trying to do a

lot more community events, like when we’ve brought local wood-carvers in. We want to present activities that will bring more people into downtown Arlington, because we’re part of this community too.”

Jones noted that Arlington Hardware & Lumber offers plenty of holiday shopping opportunities, from its toy department to its selection of hard-wearing winter clothing for kids and adults alike.

“This store has an old-fashioned Christmas feel,” Jones said. “Even our toys are old-fashioned. We’ve got a lot of wooden toys and learning toys, and a huge variety of other mer-chandise, including a full lumberyard out back. This

weekend is your last chance to tell Santa what you want for Christmas before the big

day is here,” she laughed.Jones added that

Arlington Hardware &

Lumber serves up free bags of freshly popped popcorn every Saturday.

Arlington Hardware & Lumber is located at 215 N. Olympic Ave. in Arlington.

MARYSVILLE — Santa Claus and his lookalikes are no strangers to storefronts during the holiday season, but the Santa who appeared at the Marysville branch of HomeStreet Bank on State

Avenue on Dec. 17 might have seemed a bit more authentic than most, right down to the white hair of his real beard.

“I’ve been banking here at HomeStreet for several years,” said Patrick Murphy, a.k.a. St. Nick, who’s been

dressing as the jolly old elf for the past two decades or more. “The branch man-ager asked if I’d come in to pose for photos, to help collect food and toys for the Marysville Community Food Bank.”

“When we thought of

doing Santa pictures, to promote our ‘Giving Tree’ for the food bank’s holi-day toy store, one of our employees said, ‘I know exactly the guy,’” said Kirstin Tyner, manager of the Marysville branch of HomeStreet Bank. “We even have a fireplace in our front lobby, so it’s a perfect fit.”

Rita Henry does double-duty as an employee of the Marysville HomeStreet Bank and as chair of the ad-hoc committee for the toy store, and she was thrilled to have Murphy bringing his twinkling eyes and belly-shaking laugh-ter to HomeStreet for the afternoon of Dec. 17.

“This is one of the best collection years we’ve had, here at HomeStreet and in general,” Henry said that day. “We’ve got about 50 gifts under our tree, and a red barrel full of food that

needs to be weighed. Our customers have been very generous.”

HomeStreet Bank wasn’t the only location in Marysville where Murphy was set to spread his sea-sonal spirit, since he was also scheduled to appear at Marysville-Pilchuck High School and Marysville Mountain View High School during that week.

“It all started about 20 years ago, when I was driv-ing north on State Avenue, wearing a red fleece and hat,” Murphy said. “There were these kids in the car in front of me, sitting in the back of this station wagon, and I kept seeing their little heads pop up to look at me, and when they did a little wave, I realized they’d mistaken me for Santa, so I’ve decided to be Santa ever since.”

Murphy cherishes the enthusiastic reactions he

receives from children and parents alike, and has become very well-versed in the latest trends in Christmas wish-lists among young people.

“I get asked for a lot of Matchbox cars and Barbies,” Murphy said. “Legos are still very popu-lar. I had one girl ask me for a Dragon, and I didn’t real-ize she was asking for the speech recognition soft-ware, so I said, ‘Well, we’re fresh out of dragons, but I might have some snakes,’” he laughed. “Most of the kids are pretty realistic in the gifts they’re asking for.”

To Murphy, the material gifts of the season are far less important than the joy that he can help share with others.

“I do it for the smiles,” Murphy said. “There’s so much sadness in the world that I love being able to bring cheer to people. I get as much pleasure out of it as they do. It’s such a bless-ing.”

LEGAL NOTICES

MARYSVILLE — The Snohomish County Express Fastpitch Organization would like to thank the community members who have donated to its 2013 food drive that supported a number of area food banks this past month.

The Sno Co Express’ five teams are made up of 88 girls, who range in age from 8-14. This year’s collection of non-perishable food was more than 3,500 pounds.

The five teams were asked to collect items for the food banks from Dec. 1-15, and their young ladies were challenged to collect more than 1,300 pounds, but they

far exceeded those expecta-tions.

“Our young ladies hit a grand slam with our drive this year,” Sno Co Express President Jeff Perrine said of this annual contest between the teams.

“We ask our community for so much, and raising this much food demonstrates how much our girls appre-ciate our community,” said Aaron Zachry, also of Sno Co Express.

Sno Co Express is an orga-nization that aims to mold young athletes into out-standing fastpitch players through hard work, dedica-tion, passion and teamwork.

Through its sport, the organization strives to create opportunities to help raise strong, confident young ladies who are a true asset to their community.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Gethcell boys swim-ming teams competed against Shorecrest on Dec 17.

Though both M-P and MG teams lost to Shorecrest, M-P’s final score was 147-31, while MG’s final score was 135-50.

M-P and MG’s Head Coach Meredith Jenks was pleased with the outcomes of the swimming meet despite the losses.

“We had some improved times,” Jenks said. “Many of our swim-mers tried events they have never swam before.”

The outcomes that Jenks was most pleased with were some record-breaking times set by both M-P and MG swimmers.

MG freshman John Snider broke a school record while plac-ing third in the 200 IM with a time of 2:23.46, as did MG sophomore Connor DeMarco, who placed first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.65 seconds.

DeMarco also placed second in the 100-yard butterfly, finishing with a time of 1:00.56

Other swimmers qualified for state meets as well.

MG freshman Nathaniel Ludwig qualified for district in his 100-yard breaststroke, finishing second with a time of 1:14.17.

Ludwig also swam well in the 200-yard freestyle, placing in third with a time of 2:24.25.

M-P also had swimmers qual-ify. Senior Owin Ell qualified when he placed third in the 100-yard fly with a time of 1:07.57. Another qualifying M-P senior was Jonathan Pusateri, who placed fourth in the 100-yard freestyle with a time 56.44.

In the dives, sophomore Tyler Dukleth from MG was the highest scorer. “He is a returning diver from just last year, and he has made huge improvements already,” Jenks said. “Our diving program is growing, and we will be looking at some great potential for the end of the season.”

Dukleth contributed four points to M-P’s team, while placing sec-ond in the dives.

Jenks hoped the successes from their third swimming meet of the season will continue into impor-tant meets. “After we return from some intense training over win-ter break, we will come back into competitions, looking at potential relays to make State qualifying times,” Jenks said.

M-P and MG currently prac-tice and train together. Marysville Getchell, does not have a swim facility. Jenks coaches both teams.

“We do not compete against each other,” Jenks said. “We work hard together, and we play hard together.”

As she oversees the two teams, Jenks mentioned the benefits of having the older swimmers influ-ence the younger, inexperienced swimmers. “Our veteran athletes encourage the new team mem-bers, and our new teammates learn to give all their effort, while still having a lot of fun,” Jenks said.

Jenks said the bonding aspect is a crucial part to the team during practice. “We build a sense of team for Marysville swimming, and we are with each other every step of the way,” Jenks said.

Jenks said that the sense of camaraderie the team has devel-oped through practice will play an important role in future meets. “That kind of support really pays off at the end of the season,” Jenks said. “When our athletes are trying to have their best swims and dives, they know their fellow team mem-bers are cheering them on.”

As of Dec. 19, M-P’s record is 0-3, and MG’s overall record is 0-3.

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood Cougars girls basketball team ended its losing streak, topping Granite Falls in a 49-11 vic-

tory. Lakewood’s record was

0-4 prior to hosting the 1-4 Tigers.

With experience on their side, the more developed Cougars had no problem with their inexperienced

opponents. “We came in knowing they were a young-er team. We’ve been there,” Lakewood Head Coach Chris Walster said. “We played with a little more confidence and intensity then we have in the past.”

From the tipoff, Lakewood found its shots from outside and waisted no time scoring. Lakewood sophomore Marissa Blair hit an opening three on her first shot, foreshadowing the dominance the Cougars would have throughout the game. Blair was also Lakewood’s highest scor-ing player that night. She totaled 19 points and led in three pointers, making three.

Walster thought Blair could have scored even more points if she was left in the game longer. “This is probably the most she’s sat out in a game for the last two years,” Walster said.

Blair was also the team’s leading scorer, and made second team all-league last

year as a freshman. “We had a lot of confidence in her,” Walster said. “Sometimes we don’t get the ball in her hands as much as we should.”

The Cougars began their scoring spree in the first quarter. Another high scor-ing player was 5’11” sopho-more post Reille Jones, who powered her way inside the paint, scoring four in the first quarter. “She’s one of the best post-passers we’ve ever had,” Walster said. “She really has a nice touch on the ball.”

Jones was the second highest scorer, totaling 10 points by the end of the game.

Junior forward Hailey Malakowski got her first bucket of the night as well, in the first quarter.

The Cougars proved they were just as effective on defense, only allowing four points from Granite Falls in the first quarter, which ended at 18-4.

In the second quarter,

the Cougars increased in scoring and stepped up on defense, denying any scor-ing from the Tigers.

Blair sunk another three-pointer and Jones stepped up again as another key scorer, scoring four more points for Lakewood.

Scoring was more distrib-uted in the second quarter, with three other Cougars scoring.

By halftime the score was 33-4.

The third quarter began slowly, with no scoring from either team until nearly halfway through the quarter.

The Cougars, comfort-able with their lead, only scored 10 points in the third quarter.

In the third quarter, it was sophomore guard Taylor Storm who got three points on the board for Lakewood. “She hasn’t played a great deal in the past,” Walster said. “Her shots weren’t dropping, but she was doing a lot of good

things like getting open for shots.”

The Cougars cooled down, allowing the Tigers to get their shots off. The Tigers managed to score seven points, but it’s all they scored in the remainder of the game.

Along with Storm’s three-pointer, the Cougars contin-ued their scoring, closing the third quarter with a score of 43-11.

Scoring was the low-est for the Cougars in the fourth quarter, in which they only scored six points, with another three-pointer and free-throw from Blair, and two points from fresh-man guard Natalie Neer. The Cougars ended the final quarter leading 49-11.

Walster is optimistic that the Cougars will improve for the games to come. “I just hope we can continue to improve,” Walster said. “ I’m always finding ways to improve.”

As of Dec. 18, The Cougars’ current overall record is 1-4.

has furnished the toy store with coats and blankets for children and adults alike for a number of years.

“The Rotary is always a huge sponsor, and the Kmart and Fred Meyer stores helped us shop for toys and gave us big discounts,” Ramsey said. “I feel like the entire community deserves some credit, because offic-es throughout Marysville have contributed, including local chiropractic and den-tal clinics, which gave us candy to hand out, and the Soroptimist and Kiwanis clubs, which have served up hot chocolate.”

While Target donated a number of toys, Costco provided larger items that Ramsey explained would be raffled off. She likewise credited Vans of the Seattle Premium Outlets with giv-ing several pairs of shoes, and noted that “entire neighborhoods” within the city had organized their own collection drives for this year’s toy store.

“We even got a Christmas tree from Rotary, which we’ll be Saran-Wrapping to use again for other com-munity events,” Ramsey laughed. “The only thing I don’t like about naming our supporters is that I know I’m going to leave a lot of people out who deserve rec-ognition.”

While the number of cli-ents remained relatively sta-ble from last year, a few new families found themselves shopping at the toy store this year, many of them for the same reasons. Both Darren Shales and Mikki Root are stay-at-home par-ents who care for their chil-dren, and came to the toy store for the first time this year because of how hard it is to celebrate the holidays on their spouses’ salaries.

“Our oldest is out of the house, but we’ve still got

our 8-year-old boy, whose birthday on Dec. 23 is back-to-back with Christmas,” Shales said. “How do you afford another set of pres-ents when you’re already broke? Times are so tough that I couldn’t even buy coal for his stocking,” he joked.

Shales remained in a jovial mood as he was guided through the aisles of toys by city of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Andrea Kingsford, but even

as he insisted that “some-how, we still would have been able to swing it” to pro-vide a traditional Christmas celebration for his family, he also spoke of selling car parts on Craigslist to help make ends meet.

“In a single-income household, there’s not a lot left over,” Shales said, before he gushed over how toy brands such as Legos and Transformers have changed since his own youth.

“I’m so happy I landed in Marysville. I couldn’t have asked for a better commu-nity. You guys are awesome,” he told Kingsford.

Root is raising four chil-dren, ranging in age from 3-11 years old, two of them adopted, and like many par-ents, she’s facing the Catch-22 of providing for her kids.

“It’s hard when you only have one person working in your household, but if I got a job, my paycheck would just be going to cover day-care anyway, so I might as well stay at home to be there for the kids,” Root said. “Our oldest boy wanted a longboard, but fortunately, my brother came through for him.”

Both Root and Christina Leslie, the volunteer who helped Root shop for her three girls, were impressed by their first experiences with the toy store this year.

“It’s really nicely orga-nized, so it’s not just chaos,” Root said, as she picked out a tea set for one of her daughters. “I love that you have on-site daycare here, because otherwise, all four

of my kids would be fol-lowing along right behind me.”

“One of the reasons why I do this is because I was raised on the other side, where those folks are now,” Ramsey said, as she pointed to the line of toy store cus-

tomers. “I had people who were there for me, from my neighborhood and my church, so I want to pass on the message that we need to help people in need. It’s not just about giving; it’s also about learning to serve others.”

What makes Russell so good?Despite boasting an impressive

college resume, Russell Wilson watched NFL teams pick 74 players ahead of him in the 2012 draft, including a punter. The snub was not based on Wilson’s skills or

productivity, but on something beyond his control — his height.

Yet where most teams saw 5-foot-10 5/8 as an insurmountable hurdle for an NFL quarterback, the Seahawks saw a player

with enough going for him to overcome his lack of height. Here’s what has allowed Wilson to transcend his diminutive — by NFL quarterback standards, at least — stature:

Story by John Boyle l Photo by Jennifer Buchanan l The herald

HEADWilson’s work ethic is legendary. He will out-work, out-

study and out-prepare just about any opponent, and has the intelligence not just to be prepared for a game, but

also to know how to keep himself safe on the run, a key element for a mobile quarterback.

LEGSWilson’s weekly Houdini acts don’t just keep him

out of harm’s way, they set up some of the Seahawks’ biggest plays. Wilson could

thrive as a pocket passer, but his elusiveness and running ability only make Seattle’s offense that much more

difficult to defend. Heading into Sunday’s game against Arizona, he ranks second on the team in rushing

yards with 508.

WILSON’S 2013 NUMBERS

Height ................5-10 5⁄8

Weight .................... 206Age ............................25Experience ........2nd yearGames ........................14Attempts ................. 357 Completions ............ 231Passing Yards ........ 3,077Touchdowns ...............24Interceptions ................8QB rating .............. 105.0

FEETWilson’s arm strength helps him make those impressive throws on the run,

but so too does his ability to get his feet in proper position even while evading pressure. Proper footwork within the pocket is essential for any

quarterback, but especially for an undersized one who needs to be in the right place to find the right passing lanes.

EYESPlenty of quarterbacks

can buy time with their legs; few are as adept at keeping their eyes downfield as they move, leading to huge plays when the cover-

age breaks down. Vision is also key for shorter quarterbacks who need to be able to find passing lanes

through taller linemen.

HANDSWilson may be undersized for a quarterback, but he actu-

ally had the biggest hands of any quarterback at last year’s NFL Scouting Combine. That’s imperative for ball security, es-pecially for a quarterback who

plays in a soggy climate.

ARMOften times undersized quarterback

means undersized arm, but that’s not the case with Wilson, who has a powertful

arm, even by NFL standards. And, perhaps just as important, that arm is extremely accurate.

HEARTNo matter how physically talented or intel-ligent Wilson is, he still had to overcome a lifetime of people telling him he was too

small, that he should stick with baseball or move to safety or wide receiver. Wilson’s

unwavering belief in his ability to be great is a big reason why he’s become one of

the NFL’s best quarterbacks.

Seattle’s Byron Maxwell, No. 41, goes up after the ball while defending the New Orleans Saints’ Robert Meachem.

BY JOHN BOYLEHerald Columnist

RENTON — Hit on one late-round draft pick and you might have just been fortunate to see something other teams missed.

Do it over and over and over again, however, and something else is going on; something very unusual in a sport in which teams invest so much time and so many resources into making sure they get their draft picks right.

Yet somehow, despite the value all 32 NFL teams place on scouting, the Seahawks

have repeatedly found late-round steals at cornerback, a position, by the way, that is highly valued in the league, meaning there shouldn’t be many bargains available.

Richard Sherman, that All-Pro cornerback who is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate? He was a fifth-round pick in 2011. Byron Maxwell, who is currently starting on the other side of Seattle’s defense, was taken one round later in that same draft, and Jeremy Lane, who is currently the team’s nickel

corner, was a sixth-round pick in 2012.

Maxwell and Lane, who until last month were Seattle’s fourth and fifth options at corner-back, are playing so well that it’s fair to wonder if the Seahawks’ secondary is playing even better since Brandon Browner (undraft-ed in 2005/signed out of the Canadian Football League in 2011) went down with a groin injury and Walter Thurmond (fourth-round pick) was suspended for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy

(Browner has since also been suspended for a sub-stance-abuse violation).

So to sum all that up, the Seahawks assembled the league’s best and deep-est group of cornerbacks by using a fourth-, fifth-, and two sixth-round picks and by signing a guy out of Canada. Oh, and they also released three-time Pro Bowl corner Antoine Winfield before the start of the season, as well as Will Blackmon, who has been a playmaker in Jacksonville’s secondary. How is that even possible?

“I would like to think that we have a real good style about us in the way we’re

coaching and what we’ve done,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ve done this for years, and you look back, there’s been a lot of corners that we’ve coached over the years that have done real well, and they’re all get-ting coached the exactly the same way that they were years ago, so there’s a real formula to it, and fortu-nately we’ve drafted guys or acquired guys that could take to it. (secondary coach Kris Richard) and (defen-sive passing game coordina-tor Rocky Seto) and I, we’ve been working on this for a long time. I’m not surprised by it, I’m just thrilled that we have the kind of depth that we have and the guys, with the challenges they’ve been faced with there, they nailed it. So hopefully we can keep going with it.”

To get the best out of a player, it takes good coach-ing; to find value in the draft, it takes good scout-ing and knowledge of what kind of player fits a team’s system. To consistently hit home runs on late-round picks? That takes an incred-ible combination of both.

Asked if it was more coaching or scouting that has led to Seattle’s consid-erable cornerback depth, Carroll fittingly answered,

“Yes.”It should hardly come a

surprise that Carroll and his coaching staff are getting the most of out their corner-backs. A safety during his playing days, Carroll made a name for himself early in his coaching career as defensive backs coach in Buffalo and Minnesota. Carroll and his assistants drill proper tech-nique into their defensive backs, and their approach is one they’ve honed since Richard and Seto were assis-tants under Carroll at USC.

“It’s coaching,” said Maxwell, who has three interceptions in the past two games. “Coaching, the tech-nique, getting guys to believe it in, that’s what it comes down to. Coach Richard, he does a great job coaching the technique, and you see it work. It’s not just coaching it, there’s got to be results, and there are results.”

Seattle’s scheme, which frequently has Earl Thomas playing as a single-high safe-ty, is also a big part of the cornerback success, allowing cornerbacks to be aggressive knowing they have one of the game’s best and fastest safeties serving as a security blanket behind them.

Yet as much as coaching and scheme help Seattle’s corners excel, perhaps just

as important is the mental approach that instills confi-dence in everyone from an All-Pro like Sherman to a newly signed member of the practice squad like Akeem Auguste.

“We need everybody,” said Richard, who played for the Seahawks from 2002-2005 and began his coach-ing career under Carroll at USC. “There are no weak links, and that’s something we decide on in our meeting room at the beginning before we start to play football. You know that old saying, ‘You’re only as strong as your weak-est link.’ Well how about no weak links? How strong are you then? There’s no such thing as a weak link, you’re just waiting your turn. … Everybody is as important as the next man, because the next man is the best man.

“When you come in, you’re part of this group, you’re one of us. There are no letdowns. It doesn’t mat-ter who’s out there, there are no letdowns. We’ve got to go out there and execute.”

And the Seahawks have been executing, even when their cornerback depth is tested. The Seahawks lead the league in interceptions and fewest passing yards allowed, a feat only accom-plished three times in the

NFL, and two of those teams, the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the 1963 Chicago Bears, won titles.

Seattle also has held opposing offenses to 5.8 yards per pass attempt while limiting quarterbacks to a 65.5 passer rating, both of which lead the NFL by a considerable margin. A recent New York Times article, using net yard per attempt adjusted to the league average to account for the NFL’s increase in passing production, put the Seahawks as the fourth-best pass defense since 1970. And again, that’s with a sec-ondary full of late-round picks.

It seems shocking to any-one on the outside that the Seahawks could continue to thrive despite the losses of Browner and Thurmond, but nobody inside the lock-er room is surprised.

Ask Thomas how losing two key players has changed the defense, and he’ll simply tell you, “It hasn’t.”

“I’ve been saying it,” Thomas said. “I told you it was going to happen, because that’s just who we are, that’s the way we do it every day, that’s the way we practice, that’s the way we prepare, we have great coaching that stays on us.”

MARYSVILLE — The Bio-Med Academy on the Marysville Getchell High School Campus has been named a 2013 “School of Distinction.”

The School of Distinction honors — awarded through a joint effort of the Washington Association of School Administrators, the Washington State School Directors

Association, the Center for Educational Effectiveness, the Association of Washington School Principals and the Association of Educational Service Districts — are reserved for schools in the top five percent of schools in the state of Washington, which have increased their reading and math achievements.

The Bio-Med Academy is one

of 23 high schools in the state to receive this award.

“We are very, very proud of the Bio-Med Academy staff and stu-dents,” Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg said. “To be one school out of 23 in the state is monumental, and the award a fitting tribute for their hard work to increase student achievement.”

“These schools are from all regions of the state, and all sizes of towns,” CEE President Greg Lobdell said. “With enrollment of English Language Learners as high as 49 percent, these schools dem-onstrate that significant improve-ment is occurring all across our diverse public schools.”

The School of Distinction awards were created in 2007 to

recognize the highest improv-ing schools in Washington State. The awards are not intended as a replacement for state and federal accountability measures of school performance, but rather as a sup-plemental measure to recognize and celebrate school staff, students and leadership who improve the performance of all students over a sustained period of time.

ARLINGTON — Members of the Bark-n-Time 4-H Dog Club of Arlington acknowl-edged that their first holiday gift-wrapping fundraiser on Dec. 14 met with less success than they would have liked, but they remained optimis-tic that they’d helped to raise awareness about their club’s activities.

“The kids had a great time and their spirits were high,” said Lisa Cisneros, one of the adult volunteers of the group. “There were only two customers, but they gave us 10 gifts to wrap. Of the 13 kids who participated, four of them stayed all day, just to try and get more people in the door. They handed out flyers, waved, walked into the stores up and down Olympic Avenue, and even enjoyed riding the horse-drawn wagon, twice.”

Cisneros noted that three of the parents likewise

remained at the Co-op Supply all day to sell candies, includ-ing the club’s leader, Charlotte Knutson.

Although the Bark-n-Time 4-H Dog Club of Arlington already charges a fee of $20 per child, per year, Cisneros explained that the proceeds from such sales help the club pay for the kids’ county dues and fair fees, as well as insurance if it’s required by the facilities that the club is renting from, plus barn rentals that run $25 per week.

In exchange, the kids spend all year practicing obedience and showmanship with their dogs, so that they’ll be ready to be judged for real at the local Silvana and Stanwood/Camano fairs, as well as the county fair in Monroe.

“We’ve even had a few kids go on to the state fair in Puyallup,” Cisneros said. “It isn’t just handed to them. They have to work very hard to earn their spots.”

Cisneros explained that

the kids are expected to know their dogs well, down to their breeds, the names of their body parts and which groups they belong in, according to American Kennel Club stan-dards. The dogs themselves are judged based on their stance, grooming, presen-tation and obedience, the latter of which requires the dogs to maintain a variety of poses for one or more min-utes each, as well as to fol-low the commands of their young masters.

“Our kids are dedicated to their dogs, and are extremely

passionate about 4-H and all that it entails,” said Cisneros, who added that the kids also participate in Arlington’s Fourth of July and Santa parades each year. “Arlington is unique, because the next closest 4-H dog clubs are in Monroe and Lynnwood. The one that was available for the kids on Camano Island and Stanwood is no longer a group, and there’s nothing in Marysville or Everett, so we really have the potential to help a lot of kids in the sur-rounding area.”

Cisneros thanked not only

the Co-op Supply for donat-ing the use of its parking lot and building space for several of the club’s fundraisers, but also the Lakewood Costco, the Arlington Walmart and Karl’s Bakery in Everett for contributing to those fund-raisers.

“We are so appreciative that the community supports the

kids’ success in their endeav-ors,” Cisneros said. “We hope to draw more kids into the program, and to have contin-ued growth in Arlington.”

The Bark-n-Time 4-H Dog Club of Arlington meets every Monday from 7-8 p.m. For more information, call Knutson at 360-435-3734 or Cisneros at 425-737-2943.

Robert W. Glein, long time family doctor and resident of Ma r ysv i l le, Washington, passed away at age 88 at home on December 14, 2013 after suffering three major health events this year. Bob was born to Henry and Elsie Glein on July 17, 1925 in Pomona, California, joining older sister, Esther. The family was complete soon thereafter when sister, Josephine, and brother, Richard were born.

A f ter relocat ing numerous times and attending a different school each year, Bob attended Anacortes High School in 1942 and met his life-long friend Cam. They were best friends until Cam’s death in 2000, owning property together and enjoying many years of family vacations and poker parties. Bob was commissioned a lieutenant in the Army Air Corps in 1945 as a navigator and was stateside for the 2 ½ years he was in the service. In 1946, Bob met the love of his life, Pat, at the University of Washington, and they were married in 1948. The following year Bob graduated from the UW in chemistry and the two headed to Saint Louis University where Bob graduated from medical school in 1953. Those four years were a struggle and left an indelible mark on them, one they often reminisced about. After internship and a surgery residency in the Bay Area where their first child, Randy, was born, Bob and Pat settled in Marysville, Washington, and Bob practiced medicine for almost 40 years. Four years

later with three more children (Sharon, Judy and Keith), Bob made his final move in 1959 to the home and property he and Pat so

loved, where they lived until his death. Shortly after this move their last child, Susie, was born.

The things Bob loved most in life were his family and friends, his medical practice, “the island” he owned with Cam, his vast rhododendron collection of over a 1,000 species, and skiing. In retirement he and Pat travelled in their truck and camper throughout Alaska, Canada, the continental US and Mexico, cruised to Alaska in a boat caravan, and had many international travel adventures in Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Bob is dearly loved and will be forever missed by his family and friends. In addition to his five children and their spouses, he is survived by 8 grandchildren, Chris, Natasha, Shelby, Michael, Sara, Wendy, Jay and Annie, and great-granddaughter, Sabrina. A celebration of his life was held at the Marysville United Methodist Church, on Friday, December 20 at 3:00 p.m. Remembrances can be made to Saint Louis University, DuBourg Hall Room 319, 1 North Grand Blvd, Saint Louis, MO 63103, attention Medical School Annual Fund #10438.

A special thanks to Doctor Phil Smith, nurses and doctors at Providence Medical Center Colby who provided loving and high quality care to Bob this year – you’re top notch.

Robert W. GleinJuly 17, 1925 — December 14, 2013


ARLINGTON — After 10 nights, the Arlington Fire Department’s annual “Santa Run” for 2013 wrapped up on the evening of Sunday, Dec. 15, with another year of record-breaking totals.

Even before their festively decorated fire truck set out to cover the last remain-

ing neighborhoods on the map for this year’s food and financial collection drive for the Arlington Community Food Bank, Arlington Fire Capt. Phil Knepper esti-mated that the nightly hauls were between 30-40 percent larger than they’d been the year before, when the “Santa Run” set its previous records of more than 6,000 pounds of food and $500 in cash dona-

tions in the winter of 2012.“The cash donations this

year have been through the roof,” Knepper said, before the “Santa Run” fire truck left the station garage that Sunday evening. “One indi-vidual presented us with a check for $1,000, which was pretty awesome. Cascade Valley Hospital has been setting sandwich boards out in each of the neighbor-

hoods, to pre-notify them when we’ll be showing up, and we’ve done very well as a result. We used to show up, and if people had any canned food items in their pantries that they could spare, they handed them to us, but now, they’re planning for our arrivals. We’ve literal-ly had to stuff the collection truck to make all the food fit, and we’ve gotten cash dona-

tions ranging from dimes and quarters to hundreds of dollars. This community has been very generous.”

Fellow Arlington Fire Capt. Dave Kraski was able to quantify that generos-ity after the final totals were added up on Monday, Dec. 16, and he realized that he had 8,107 pounds of food and $2,340.75 in monetary donations to present to the

Arlington Community Food Bank this year.

“Remarkably, the weather cooperated nicely,” Kraski said. “Although it was real-ly cold on a few nights, it remained dry for most of the event. We’ll take cold over wet anytime.”

In return, the Arlington Fire Department present-ed candy canes to kids and adults alike, all along their “Santa Run” routes, whether those residents were donating or not, and as a result, what started as a supply of 10,000 candy canes had already dwindled down to nearly nothing by the time that final night rolled around.

“Most everyone we met donated, though,” Knepper said. “We always do well in the High Clover Park and Magnolia Meadows neigh-borhoods. It got to the point this year where there were some nights when we could not possibly put more food in our collection truck.”

Knepper was equally effusive in his praise for the volunteers who accom-panied the Arlington fire-fighters and Santa Claus every night on their routes, starting on Friday, Dec. 6, from members of the local Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, to the employees of Cascade Valley Hospital and the city of Arlington. Debora Nelson was among the Arlington City Council members who received bags full of food from neighborhood resi-dents and loaded them in the back of the “Santa Run” collection truck this year.

The Arlington Fire Department had planned one last night of collec-tions for the Arlington Community Food Bank, at Arlington High School on Friday, Dec. 20, as AHS’s varsity boys took on the Lake Stevens Vikings, but the results of that donation drive were unavailable as of press time.

Little Tiny Tim was left alone outside the shelter, running around in the cold and now he needs a nice, warm place to go! His new home needs to be a home without cats or other dogs. His new home should be with experienced adults only. He's timid and in need of people who can constantly work on boosting his confidence.

I am one of those quiet and calm cats. Since I enjoy tranquility and peaceful surroundings, I should go to a home without too much foot traffic and noise. I am a big head-butter when you are by me and petting me. Give me as much as you can! We will be immediate friends :] I came in as a stray so it is unknown how well I do with other animals. Just be sure to do a slow introduction and everything should go well. Take a visit with me to see how we get along.

MARYSVILLE — The store owners of the Downtown Marysville Merchants Association reported that the seasonal shopping spe-cials which began with “Merrysville for the Holidays” have continued to boost their business, even as they’ve added new deals to entice

customers.“More and more customers

are taking advantage of our late-night hours to finish up their holiday shopping,” Mary Kirkland of Hilton Pharmacy said of the “Late ‘til 8” extend-ed shopping hours of roughly half a dozen businesses in and around the “old town” block of Third Street, which contin-ued through Dec. 21.

Kirkland reported that

Marysville merchants are offering individual sales spe-cials to add value to their customers’ holiday shop-ping, with Hilton Pharmacy kicking off its own unique discount promotion with its “Snowflake Saturday” on Dec. 14, during which any-one could bring in a hand-cut paper snowflake, to add to the store’s collection, in exchange for a free snowflake orna-ment and 20 percent off their entire purchase. Kirkland collected 11 snowflakes that weekend, and chose to extend the “Snowflake Saturday” deals through the following Wednesday, Dec. 18.

“We’ve had positive reactions to our events on Facebook,” Kirkland said. “We even posted our own video on Facebook, show-ing how to make hand-cut snowflakes, which brought in more customers and gener-ated some fun comments.”

This Saturday, Dec. 21, the family-owned pharmacy will follow its “Snowflake Saturday” on Dec. 14 with its first-ever ugly Christmas sweater contest on Saturday, Dec. 21.

“Our ugly Christmas sweater party is a way for us to inject some quirky fun into the last week of hectic holiday shopping and prepa-ration,” Kirkland said. “We’ll all be wearing our version of ugly sweaters that Saturday, and we’re inviting customers to wear theirs into the store that day, too. We’ll be award-ing prizes for the wackiest, tiniest, worst-fitting and, of course, ugliest sweaters. We’ll even have a pet category. We plan to take pictures of all the entries and post them to our Facebook page to announce the winners.”

Several other downtown Marysville merchants are having in-store promotions during the week, among them Trusty Threads on Third Street.

“We’ll have a ‘Time to Shop’ sale this Saturday,” said Patricia Schoonmaker, owner of Trusty Threads. “From 10-11 a.m. on Dec. 21, we’ll be offering 30 percent off everything in the store. From 11 a.m. to noon, we’ll be offering 25 percent off, and from noon to 1 p.m., it’ll be 20 percent off, so it pays to get in early and save more.”

A number of down-town merchants have gift cards available, which Schoonmaker touted as per-fect for last-minute shop-pers, while the Downtown Marysville Merchants Association’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/marys-ville.merchants features an online guide for gifts of $25 or less.
