MARYSVILLE — “Just this Monday, one of our customers came to us crying,” said Mary Kirkland, owner of Hilton’s Pharmacy in Marysville, on Thursday, Jan. 12. “Because of the PBMs, her insur-ance told her that she had to go to mail-order for her medication, but she didn’t want to leave us. She’s a cancer patient who requires a lot of medication, which has to be filled right away, but all the mail-order pharmacies fill them from out of state.”
Many people have never heard of Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or PBMs, but according to not only Kirkland, but also Arlington Pharmacy General Manager Cory Duskin and state Rep. Kirk Pearson, the PBMs’ decisions can
impact the quality of prescription drugs and pharmacy services that pharmacy customers receive, as well as the prices they pay for them.
Talking with Duskin about PBMs inspired Pearson to draft a piece of legislation that they and Kirkland hope will help provide less expensive and more attentive health care for pharmacy patients throughout the state.
“I’m always getting differ-ent ideas from my constituents, but this one hit close to home,” Pearson said. “When my father passed away, I remembered how wonderful his local pharmacy was in going above and beyond the call of duty for him. Local pharmacies aren’t just places to buy drugs. They develop real relationships

MARYSVILLE — Marysville’s Randy Heslop has been unemployed for four months, but he started looking for a new job about a year ago, almost immediately after his former employer, Todd Shipyards in Seattle, was bought out.
“It was a company that had been there a long time, so I thought I was on good, solid ground,” Heslop said. “I’ve lived in this area for 46 years, and what I learned growing up on a farm has guided me through life. I didn’t expect this.”
Even with 20 years of experience in his field at companies including Nintendo and Boeing, he still wasn’t able to find new employment by the time he was finally laid off from his old job.
“I made sure the 30 or so people who were
working for me were taken care of because some of them had been there 20-30 years and I felt morally obligated,” Heslop said. “But I never saw any job offers come my way and now I’m faced with hard decisions, like how we’ll make the house payments.”
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray wants unemployed workers like Heslop and Everett’s Deborah Purdom to know that their concerns are her priority, which is why she met with them in Heslop’s house on Wednesday, Jan. 11, after receiving a letter from him.
“Your letter touched me,” said Murray, who’s pledged to extend unemployment benefits through the end of the year, to help support middle-class families like the Heslops. “I’ve heard from a lot of folks whose perspectives

are similar to yours, where they never thought of unem-ployment as something that would happen to them.”
Randy is married to Debbie Buse Heslop — exec-utive director of Washington Home On Your Own, a non-profit that helps people find housing — and they have three daughters. Purdom is a single mother who worked as a painter, but was forced to quit that job due to the toll it was taking on her health.
“Because I chose to leave, I wasn’t able to get unemploy-ment,” Purdom said. “I had too much money to get food stamps, even though I was pretty poor. I couldn’t afford to feed my kids, and I have no savings to fall back on, so I’m robbing Peter to pay Paul for electricity, gas and the mortgage.”
Murray acknowledged that, if Congress doesn’t act in its upcoming session to maintain emergency unem-ployment benefits, as many as 13,000 Snohomish County residents could be cut off by July.
Marc Lampson, exec-utive director of the Unemployment Law Project, echoed Murray’s assertion that unemployed people want to find work and invest active effort into their job searches. He added that unemployment benefits are contingent upon such job searches.
“I’d scrub toilets if you said I could get paid for it,” Purdom said.
Randy Heslop spends sev-eral hours a day looking for work, only stopping when he’s exhausted his contacts and leads for that day. While he checks with recruiters on a regular basis, he noted that a great deal of job search-ing has moved online, which limits access to those with-out Internet connections.
“Plus, I’ve seen how HR operates, and they screen out people whom I would have hired,” Heslop said. “Good people are getting left out.”
Heslop handed a copy of his resume to Murray, who warned that the economic impacts of unemployment on individuals such as Heslop and Purdom create ripple effects that spread through-out their communities.
“This is one of the first issues that’ll be up when the next Congressional session starts,” Murray said. “I’m always looking for more peo-ple to write in. Anyone can make charts and graphs, but we need to hear from people about how this is affecting their lives, their livelihoods and their neighborhoods.”

with their customers.”Pearson explained that
PBMs manage prescription drug benefits for a variety of health plans, and receive rebates and discounts from pharmaceutical manufac-turers for promoting their products, which favors more expensive brand drugs over cost-effective generics.
Both Pearson and Duskin expressed concerns about the fact that PBMs are the only health care pro-fession that’s unregulated within Washington state, and pointed to the 23 other states that have adopted legislation similar to House Bill 2303, which was intro-duced on the floor Jan. 11 with Republican Pearson as its primary sponsor and two Democratic representatives cosponsoring it. Duskin took particular exception to
the number of PBMs that drive traffic toward “pre-ferred” pharmacies and their own mail-order phar-macies, with Kirkland citing the health care value of the personal touch.
“We have a couple of wid-ows who are on Medicare Part D,” Hilton said. “They have questions about how to submit their paperwork, but mail-order isn’t going to give them one-on-one con-tact with professionals who can provide those answers. The staff of a community pharmacy like ours greets the customers and knows their names, and as we’re filling their prescriptions we talk to them at the counter about what these medicines actually are and what their side effects are. Because we have consistent contact with them we can tell if they’ve lost weight, if they’re con-fused or if they’re having trouble ambulating, and we
can call their doctors to let them know.”
Hilton doesn’t object to mail-order pharmacies being offered as an option to patients, but she criti-cized PBMs for mandating such mail order services to many patients, through both explicit and implicit means.
With reimbursements to health care providers going down while premiums go up, Hilton joined Duskin in calling for oversight to ensure that PBMs aren’t pocketing the difference.
“We need transparency, but we don’t need to create any new agencies,” Duskin said. “This is not growing government or increasing government spending. All the enforcement procedures are already on the books.”
“We don’t want to elimi-nate PBMs,” said Pearson, who added that the state Senate has a companion bill
to House Bill 2303, which has also received bipartisan sponsorship. “This legisla-tion simply seeks to create a level playing field. As much as I deal with public safety issues, I wouldn’t be doing
this if I didn’t think it was an important piece of legisla-tion. I can’t tell you the pric-es will go down immedi-ately, but it should make the market more fair and afford people more choices.”

MARYSVILLE — The city of Marysville already solicited input from citi-zens regarding a federal Community Development Block Grant program on Jan. 10, but it’s not too late for members of the public to have their say on which community development needs the city should pri-oritize for this year through 2016.
The next public meet-ing on the Community Development Block Grant will take place before the city Planning Commission on Tuesday, Jan. 24, at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers in Marysville City Hall, and city of Marysville Senior Planner
Chris Holland invites citi-zens to contribute their thoughts, not only on what they see as the city’s most critical needs, but also their ideas about possible strate-gies and potential barriers addressing those needs.
With its annexation put-ting its population north of 50,000, Holland explained that the city of Marysville could receive $218,016 in federal funds in 2012 under this program, which HUD awards for commu-nity development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development and provid-ing improved community facilities and services, prin-cipally for low- to moder-ate-income individuals and neighborhoods.
Of its expected funds for this year, Holland stipu-lated that a minimum of 65 percent, or $141,710.40, would have to be allocated to facilities and infrastruc-ture, while a maximum of 15 percent, or $32,702.40, could be allocated to public services. A maximum of 20 percent, or $43,603.20, could be allocated toward administration. All of these activities must benefit areas that are primarily residen-tial, where at least 51 per-cent of the residents are low- or moderate-income.
For more information, contact Holland by phone at 360-363-8207 or via email at [email protected].

ARLINGTON — Although the initial announcement came in December of last year, it wasn’t until Friday, Jan. 13, that Northwest Hardwoods’ facility in Arlington closed its doors.
Brian Narramore, vice president of human resources for Northwest Hardwoods, noted that not even the mill’s 45-year histo-ry could ultimately insulate it from the nation’s ongoing economic difficulties.
“Wood products are heavily tied to the housing industry, which has been in a slump since 2007,” Narramore said. “As people stop harvesting trees, the raw material for mills dries up.”
With their log sup-ply in decline, Narramore explained that Northwest Hardwoods is taking two months to wait and see which direction the econ-omy will turn next, which he acknowledged will require them to lay off the Arlington facility’s 60 full-time employees, although he believes the company will be able to find new jobs for many of those workers at other branches.
“In December, we told
them we’d be curtailing our operations,” Narramore said. “On Saturday (Jan.14), we laid off the sawmill work-ers, and we’ll be doing the same for the rest of the mill’s employees by the end of this month or the first few weeks of February. We’re working with those employees to try and find them temporary or permanent positions at other mills, depending on their interests or whether they’re willing to relocate, so the total number of actu-al layoffs should be far less.”
Narramore recalled how Weyerhaeuser had acquired the mill in 1980, after its original opening in 1967, before it was sold to American Industrial Partners in August of last year.
“This isn’t the first time these employees have gone through something like this,” Narramore said. “We want to make a good busi-ness decision, but we’re also doing everything possible to help these people land on their feet. We’ve got a very difficult decision to make, and we’re also look-ing into state and federal grants for training for our workers, so those folks can be armed with good data and good directions for the future.”

Marysville seeks input on Block Grant
Jan ClarkJuly 7, 1949
January 10, 2012Janet Louise Clark, 62, passed
away on Jan. 10, 2012 after a brief illness. Jan spent her life caring for her family and others as a wife, mother, sister and nurse. Her passion was art and she excelled at drawing and painting animals. She is survived by her husband, Gary Clark, sons Peter and Michael Johnson, brother Clyde Thoren, and sisters, Geri Harris and Magi Rail. Memorial services will be held at a future time.
An odd thing happened in Iowa — or rather, it didn’t happen. You’d
think that intellectual triumphs like space exploration and gene splicing would show that we’ve become better thinkers but just the opposite has taken place. If the Iowa primary reflected the nation’s quality of thinking, our mental processes definitely need some work.
It operated like a circular firing squad. Over an entire dispiriting hour, presidential hopefuls threw flak at each other, scoring not so much on their own merits, but on how well they tripped up opponents. It wasn’t a thoughtful exercise. It wasn’t pretty. I sincerely hope children didn’t take those party luminaries as role models.
One flabbergasted commen-tator said, “I think ...” and then went on to deliver his opinions on the Iowa circus, which fell short of even kissing-cousins to thinking. How many times in a day do we hear someone say, “I think?” I think the eggs are done. I think we’re almost out of gas. I think you need to turn up the thermostat.
A person might suspect that the eggs are done, see that the gas-gauge reads empty or feel chilly enough to want more heat but those observa-tions fall short of real thought. Real thinking seems to be in short supply and that shortage accounts for quite a lot of the social ills afflicting us.
What too often passes for thinking nowadays is the mull-ing of one-sided arguments. One-sided “thinkers” assemble
self-serving positions from one-sided sources clipped selectively from the whole fabric of reality. That sort of thinking is useful in protecting the bottom lines of businesses or pro-sports where survival needs self-serving agendas but it cripples the national debate.
The right side of the Senate abandoned thinking when it vowed to oppose all new forms of taxation. Although vot-ers elected senators to think through tax issues, what did they do? They abdicated their responsibility to think by sign-ing a pledge to not think about taxation issues. They were voted into office to use their brains to reason out issues, not sign away independence. Every senator who signed that pledge deserves a pink slip.
That ideological line down the Senate’s dividing aisle serves to cripple thought. While name-calling and charges of incompetence flow across it like the tide through Deception Pass, real thinking bounces off it. Parties are stuck with group-think that can’t pass for real thought because it draws its nourishment from fellow ditto-heads.
Thinking senators and rep-resentatives understand that
A timely New Year’s resolution: Th ink
With the challenges of gov-ernment more complex than ever before — from eco-
nomic recovery, local jobs creation and transportation infrastructure — the need for more efficient and responsive government along with intergovern-mental cooperation has never been more critical.
Thanks to a strong focus on part-nerships and collaboration as central to how we do business, the city of Marysville and neighboring govern-ments in North Snohomish County along the I-5 corridor are in an envi-able position to meet these regional and local challenges head-on for the betterment of our respective com-munities. In this column, I’m going to focus most of the attention on eco-nomic development.
For a recent example of this collabo-ration in action, the Marysville City Council and Tulalip Tribes Board of Directors held a rare joint meeting at City Hall in December.
At the meeting, Tulalip Chairman Mel Sheldon and I, with pens in hand, signed a handful of agreements ben-eficial to both Marysville and Tulalip following approval by both the Tulalip Tribes Board of Directors and the Marysville City Council. One of the agreements addresses ongoing graffiti defacing the 116th Street pedestrian bridge over I-5 by creating barriers at both ends to make it inaccessible to taggers (with costs shared by the city and Tribes). Another formalized annual restriping of the 88th and 116th I-5 overpasses, with each government taking turns doing the work every other year.
More important to meeting our mutual long-term goals, we signed a joint resolution between Marysville, Arlington and the Tribes supporting regional coordination of a manufactur-ing and industrial center to support the Boeing Company and manufactur-ing and supplier expansion in North Snohomish County. We can thank the Planning Commissions of Marysville and Arlington for suggesting the resolution as a declaration of our mutual commitment to foster aero-space, manufacturing and industrial growth in the Smokey Point area, and
to both the Tulalip Tribes Board and the Marysville City Council for voting their passage.
Arlington Municipal Airport and the Smokey Point area comprise a major employment center within the entire county, and its strategic value to the regional economy is only going to continue to climb.
That was a key message last May when Marysville, Arlington and the Tulalip Tribes came together to host the North Snohomish County Economic Summit at the Tulalip Resort. We used the opportunity to reinforce our message to prospective business ventures that our govern-ments are working collaboratively to create a more prosperous and thriving future for our businesses and families. We each had assets to tout that we believe give North Snohomish County a competitive edge in attracting new business investment as the economy revives and employment rates rebound — Cabela’s and 2,000 “shovel ready” acres in Quil Ceda Village, 1,000-plus acres of manufacturing and light industrial-zoned land on I-5 clustered within the Smokey Point planning area, 2,251 acres at Arlington Airport — you get the picture.
You cannot underestimate the significance of a united front among neighboring governments when court-ing a prospective corporation. A stable political and economic climate con-ducive to helping businesses succeed, available land, regulatory consistency, willingness to partner, strategic loca-tion and a skilled workforce are an unbeatable combination.
Our objective to promote the Smokey Point area as a potential manufacturing “supersite” for con-tractors and suppliers for the Boeing Company’s next generation 737s and 777s, KC-135 aerial refueling tanker, as well as other players in the aerospace
industry and other manufacturing companies, involves many intergovern-mental relationships across all levels of government.
Over the past year, I have been involved with Project Pegasus, directed by Seattle attorney Tayloe Washburn for Gov. Christine Gregoire. The primary focus has been on ensur-ing that the 737 MAX will be built in Washington state, which we now know Boeing announced last November will be assembled at its existing Renton facility. Just as importantly, Project Pegasus — and the Washington Aerospace Partnership — are work-ing to ensure that Washington state remains the world’s preeminent aero-space hub against intense competition from other states who know that next generation jets in the Boeing line are waiting on the tarmac. The Smokey Point area was and remains a solid candidate as a supplier site for new aerospace and manufacturing.
Washburn visited Marysville last year to address elected leaders at a well-attended Snohomish County Cities and Towns meeting. He was encouraged by the turnout, and con-tinues to applaud and encourage the significant work going on here to enhance our competitiveness in this area.
There are many other examples of venues where we build regularly on our intergovernmental relationships with the Tribes, county, and cities of Arlington, Everett, Lake Stevens, Stanwood, Granite Falls, Darrington, Mukilteo, Snohomish and others. For example, monthly meetings of the North County Mayors group, City-Tribes Governmental Affairs breakfasts, and staff-to-staff meetings all provide a forum to exchange ideas and mobilize on local and regional issues that that impact one or more of our jurisdictions and the citizens we represent.
My goal as Mayor remains to pro-mote a collaborative atmosphere as the means towards creating a prosperous Marysville that we can all be proud of at the end of the day.

Richard C. Kalma passed away on January 4, 2012 at home with his family by his side. He was born on October 3, 1926 in Shacktown Wenatchee, WA to Casey and Mary (Stumpf) Kalma.
Dick was a prominent Marysville pioneer attending school from kindergarten to high school when he joined the Navy at 17. He contracted scarlett fever while at boot camp in Farrogot, ID and received a medical disability discharge. He later received his GED and a two-year Associate’s Degree in Accounting at Everett Community College.
Dick met Dorothy Lambert in 1948 while working for the State Patrol in Wenatchee and they were married on February 19, 1949. After living in Spokane, WA for a short while where Dick worked for a tires, batteries and accessories company they moved to Marysville where they raised and distributed turkeys for many years. He also worked in logging, land development and real estate but he liked working for himself the best and did well at it. Dick was an amateur boxer, and avid fisherman and hunter, he trained and rode horses and had a great love for the outdoors.
In his quiet time he loved to strum the guitar and play his harmonica. Dick was a unique man, self-made, self-taught and loved living on the edge. He played practical jokes and teased with the best of them.
He had many nicknames: Coach, Boss, The Cowboy, Curmudgeon, Trouble, Colorful Character and lived up to each one of the names. He was also a quiet man with a sense of humor.
He touched many lives and helped many people. Besides his
children who adored him, he was instrumental in setting an example for his nephew, Mike Lambert.
He was a second father to his grandson, Mike Gstohl when Mike’s
father passed away of cancer when Mike was five years old. We are sure Mike’s father and grandfather are fishing in the great beyond.
Richard is preceded in death by his parents, Casey and Mary Kalma; his brother, Don Kalma.
He leaves his loving wife of almost 63 years, Dorothy; son, Garry (Monica) Kalma; daughter, Cheryl (Fred) Amundson; brother, Charles (Marcella) Kalma; three grandchildren, Jamie (Scott) Horton, Jason Kalma, Michael Gstohl; step-grandchildren, Scott and Steve Amundson; five great-grandchildren, Taylor and Kamryn Horton, Landon, Ethan and Benjamin Amundson, and numerous nieces and nephews.
Dick was a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
Dorothy would like to thank three special angels God brought to her, Irm, Cindy and Pat for the countless hours of care and love they gave to Dick during his illness. Also to her family for their love and support, to the wonderful Hospice Organization and to his many friends at the YMCA that made his life so much fun and enjoyable this past year.
Funeral Service was held on Saturday, January 14, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. at the Marysville Baptist Church, 4011 81st Pl. NE., Marysville.
In lieu of flowers memorials can be made to Hospice, Children’s Hospital or Marysville Baptist Church.

more can often be learned from enemies than friends. Love your enemies is more than a Biblical injunction to not be a hater. It hints that enemies just might hold some useful thoughts, too. Too bad that party arm-twisters and cash-dispensing lobbyists hold that to a minimum.
Real thinking is flexible though political attack-dogs love to bark at opponents whose thoughts lead them to change course. Waffling, they call it. I call it think-ing when a leader charts mid-course corrections in light of changing realities.
Against this, block-headed ideologues “stay the course” no matter how ill-advised — as did officers who sent the doomed 600 to their deaths in the tragic Charge of the Light Brigade. Real thinkers adjust. Across 99.9 percent of our species’ his-tory, people thought more flexibly than many do now. Shepherds and nomads weighed daily threats from predators and inclem-ent weather and adjusted. Today’s leaders need to think less like sheep and more like shepherds con-cerned with their flocks.
For instance, in our colos-sal vanity we’ve taken to fancying ourselves the only species on the planet capa-ble of thinking. So self-ele-
vated, we’ve made up a self-serving definition for natu-ral areas and wildlife habi-tat, defining them as, “that land or water that holds no potential for human exploi-tation.” A neat parallel with D.C. politics arises if you think of humans as a global Congress and all others spe-cies as their constituents. The human “congress” thrives by driving its natural
world constituents toward extinction.
I once thought that dys-function in government blossomed from differences in what people think. In time, it became clear that it was more a matter of how differing groups think than what they think. One group lists change as the nastiest six-letter word while the other says, change starts
here! One group takes its cues from a dusty album of clippings and old pho-tos. The other welcomes a future where things can be different. One group builds walls of its knowl-edge to protect itself from the unknown. The other uses pretty much the same knowledge to build roads and bridges into an uncer-tain future.
But the recent spike in pandering to moneyed interests has made clear that what really skews Congressional members’ voting has less to do with what or how they think and more to do with whether they retain enough inde-pendence to think at all.

The Smokey Point Church Of ChristSimply Christians
It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion.
Are you tired of all the hype and materialism found in so many religious groups these days? God has already shown us what true religion is. At the Smokey Point church of Christ we are committed to the open study and honest application of God’s word. It may not be entertaining but it sure brings a rest from the burden of sin. Isn’t that the whole point of religion? Let’s talk about it. 360-939-2080

LAKEWOOD — Cougar basketball hosted Archbishop Murphy on Jan. 10 with senior center Dustin Stanton in the line-up for the first time all season as he returned from a leg injury.
Stanton’s presence in the middle did the trick against the Wildcat defense and helped Lakewood hold on for a 54-45 win that boosted the Cougars’ Cascade conference standing to 3-3.
“It feels great and it’s about time,” said Stanton, who racked up 15 points and 10 rebounds. “My leg feels good. It was a good comeback game, but it was a little rusty.”
Senior guard Tyler Duitsman kicked off Lakewood’s night with a three-pointer from the left corner.
Stanton made his presence felt with a pair of free throws after being fouled as he thundered down the lane.
“I wanted to get the feeling of being hacked,” said Stanton of his
efforts to get back up to game speed. “I’ll start taking jumpers soon. I’ve been hitting them from about 10 to 15 feet in practice.”
Stanton grabbed a missed three from Duitsman on the next trip down the court and put it back up and in.
Lakewood led 9-0 before Murphy took an injury timeout.
The game became a run-and-gun contest as both defenses snared drivers and pushed the ball out to the lanes for quick transi-tion strikes.
Murphy cut the deficit to 10-7 with a three-pointer and quick transition points. They stole Lakewood’s post entry passes and countered the Cougar offense with quick drives the other way.
Lakewood led 13-9 at the end of a frenetic first quarter with Stanton making the difference in the paint against Murphy’s restric-tive zone.
Post players collided in mid-air beneath Murphy’s basket as Lakewood fought for second-
chances and put-backs. Duitsman hit another three when Stanton could not be found for a low post score.
“The biggest thing tonight was our chemistry,” Stanton said. “We had the full team together and we’re better when we relax and have fun.”
Junior guard Justin Peterson scored on a put-back off of an inbound play beneath the Murphy net.
Fast break offenses kicked up the intensity in Lakewood’s gym but the teams were tied at 24 to end the first half.
Cougar senior guard Tyler Farrell started the second half by hitting a three-pointer on Lakewood’s first possession and the Cougars began a full-court press. They took a timeout, however, after Murphy hit timely shots from outside to counter Lakewood’s 2-3 and led 33-29.

MARYSVILLE — Winning seven games in a row to end the season isn’t easy, but that’s what the Tomahawk boys have to do to make the District playoffs.
Kamiak made sure Marysville-Pilchuck would have to do just that as they outlasted the Tommies for a 74-63 overtime win on Jan. 12.
“You guys battled,” said M-P head coach Bary Gould after the game. “Your defense and execution were great, and that’s two games in a row where we had a chance to win at the end. You guys are war-riors and you come to work every single day, but for whatever reason things aren’t falling our way.”
M-P and Kamiak met early and often below the baskets with their low post attacks. The Tomahawks stepped up with authority on defense and blocked two of Kamiak junior guard Imaan Vicente’s shots inside the key. Vicente was the center of the Knights’ offense early on, but senior guard Nicholas Kussman bumped inside for buck-ets as well.
The Knights led 12-7 with pres-sure on Tomahawk dribblers when
M-P called timeout with 2:46 left in the first quarter.
Tomahawk junior wing Jalen Apel-Henderson kept M-P’s defense strong by blocking Kamiak senior post J.D. Blacksmith’s shot in the paint. Senior wing Phillip DeSanctis backed his man down in isolation on the outer right of key and hit a jumper to revive the offense. M-P led 15-14 at the end of the first quarter.
Kamiak returned for more low-post physicality as Vicente and Kussman crashed the boards and muscled up against the Tomahawk attack. Vicente avenged his earlier blocked shots with a mean block and sent an M-P layup into orbit.
DeSanctis took off on a dancing drive that ended in a jumper from the right side of the key.
Kamiak put the squeeze on Tomahawk point guard passing. M-P swatted Kamiak layups left and right but the Knights out-rebounded the Tommies to take a 28-23 lead into halftime.
M-P junior wing Conner Martinis hit two three-pointers in a fast-paced third quarter as the Tomahawks went low to DeSanctis for points in the key. Kamiak, con-versely, looked to run M-P out of
the gym with frenzied offense.Knights senior guard Anthony
Berg nailed a three to tie the score at 41, but the Tomahawks outshot Kamiak for a 43-41 lead after three quarters.
Martinis hit another three to bring the Tommies back to within a point at 49-48 with 5:30 to go in regulation.
Kussman took a charge to slow M-P’s momentum, but Apel-Henderson took a charge right back to level the field.
The Tomahawks called a tim-eout down 57-55 with 2:16 left and Apel-Henderson sank a three-pointer from the left shoulder to lead 59-57. Kamiak, however, tied the game at 59 with a quick basket, after which M-P called another timeout with 48.3 seconds left.
DeSanctis missed two free throws and Kamiak called timeout, tied at 59 with 31.7 seconds to go.
Vicente’s careless perimeter pass sailed out of bounds while the Knights attempted to hold for a final shot with 14.6 seconds remaining. The Tomahawks took a timeout with a 59-59 score and the game went to overtime when

Kamiak scored two quick baskets to start the four-minute overtime with a 63-59 lead.
Kiblinger made 1 of 2 free throws to trail only 63-60, but the Knights’ lead became 67-60 with 2:31 left after two more buckets off quick steals.
Kiblinger collided with Knights guard Ron Manchester at midcourt but made only 1 of 2 free throws.
Manchester made a pair of free throws when Kiblinger fouled him to stop the clock and Kamiak notched another steal for a quick layup and a 71-61 lead with 1:39 left.
Kussman made 1 of 2 free throws and two more a min-ute later to lead 74-61.
DeSanctis’ shot would not fall but Kiblinger put in a layup on a hustle drive. Kamiak, however, ran the final seconds off the clock for the 74-63 win.

free throw depth to answer Murphy’s run. Duitsman and Zach Smith slowed the Wildcats’ assaults with charges below the basket. Duitsman stretched around Murphy’s three back defend-ers and hit a fall-away layup. Lakewood led 35-33 after three quarters.
Cougar freshman forward Paul Coleman stuck back-to-back threes to stir the crowd and force a Murphy timeout. Smith hit a sweep-ing shot across the key
and Lakewood controlled rebounds and bodied up to prevent Wildcat layups.
Farrell hit another three to give the Cougars a 46-38 lead with over half of the fourth quarter to go.
Lakewood took care of the ball on the perimeter and went back to a full-court press to protect a 48-42 lead with 1:39 left.
The Wildcats launched threes that would not fall as time slipped away. Lakewood hit free throws to hang on to a 54-45 win.
“Tonight we weren’t afraid of the moment,” Lakewood head coach Matt Hart said.
“We started making shots in the second half and it helped us get our momentum back. Dustin gives us a different look and a second dimen-sion because we don’t have a lot of size.”
Beating Murphy is becom-ing a new trend for Cougar varsity boys as of late. Lakewood beat the Wildcats for the first time ever in foot-ball and at the moment owns the season edge in basket-ball with a set for Jan. 27 at Murphy.
“I feel like my class set the pace for that,” Stanton said. “Every year we progress against them.”

LAKEWOOD — It took a complete team effort and two late three-pointers from senior Caitlyn Darrah for Lakewood to beat Coupeville for their first win of the season.
“It feels so good,” Darrah said. “The atmosphere tonight brought everyone together like we’ve been playing forever. What we were missing from our earlier games was energy. We all had it and our effort was incredible.”
The Cougars broke the Wolves’ full-court press early in the first quarter with senior Ashley Orr’s high-motor scoop-and-score that drew a foul and set the tone for the offense. Orr, who finished with seven points, stole passes and pushed the ball into Coupeville’s end of the floor with regularity and abandon.
Orr’s penetration opened up Lakewood’s passing lanes as she took the ball to the Coupeville basket. Senior Kayley Diggs, who totaled 14 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks in the game, found room for a free throw line jumper, and a second-chance put-back minutes later when Coupeville’s defense cheated down to put the brakes on Orr’s drives.
The Wolves came alive, howev-er, when senior Katie Smith start-
ed her team-high 15-point night with a three-pointer and turned a fast break steal into a layup to cut the Cougar lead to 14-10.
The game reached an electric pace when both squads opted for quick-hitter jump shots to keep the other team’s defense unbal-anced with the element of sur-prise, but Coupeville caught fire and took an 18-17 lead on a quick layup with 4:30 left in the second quarter.
Lakewood looked to create turnovers and force lazy passes with double-team pressure, but Coupeville managed to break con-tainment and find their way to the Cougar paint.
Smith lit it up to end the second quarter, but Lakewood clung to a 23-20 lead at halftime.
Coupeville senior guard Cassidi Rosenkrance jumped Cougar passes and took them the other way early in the third quarter for the first of her 11 points, but Darrah broke Lakewood’s offen-sive stagnation with a three-point-er from the right shoulder. The Cougars began to set screens in the high post to create mismatch-es against the Wolves’ 2-3 zone but the offense continued to stall as Diggs was double-teamed and Smith kept the pressure on with steals for a 33-29 lead after three quarters.
The Wolves toughened up in the rebound battle and controlled the ball, so the Cougars switched to a 1-3-1 zone to stop Coupeville’s perimeter attack. Coupeville called timeout, up 43-37 with 1:36 left in regulation, to come up with a plan for running out the rest of the clock.
Darrah hit a three with 57 sec-onds left to cut the deficit to 43-40 when Lakewood got the ball back off of a Coupeville miss.
The Wolves turned the ball over on their next possession, but Lakewood’s layup would not fall. Coupeville called another timeout with 34.2 seconds, still leading 43-40, when they recovered the ball.
Lakewood turned on a full-court press but were called for a foul that sent Rosenkrance to the free throw line for a 1-and-1 opportunity.
Rosenkrance missed the first attempt and Darrah nailed a three-pointer from the right with 14.4 seconds to go.
Darrah’s joy turned to anguish as she was called for a foul on Smith with 14.4 seconds left. Smith broke the tie by sinking both free throws for a 45-43 lead.
With time running out, Lakewood’s shooters lined the perimeter to find a shot. The ball swung to Darrah who loaded up
against two Coupeville defenders and sank a three off the glass from the right shoulder with 3.4 sec-onds left to take the lead and bring the Cougar crowd to their feet.
“I didn’t expect the shot to go in,” said Darrah, who finished with 15 points to lead the Cougars. “But it did.”
Coupeville had time for only a desperation shot but Darrah
blocked the halfcourt attempt to seal the win.
“We knew we wanted Darrah or Orr to shoot the last shot,” Lakewood head coach Chris Walster said. “If we can make silly mistakes and survive and win, then I guess it works out. We were 13 of 25 on free throws tonight, which is a killer, but Coupeville was 7 for 14.”
