    MARYSVILLE When Doleshel Park was officially dedicated on Feb. 22, city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew promised that they would return to plant wildflowers in the spring.

    On Tuesday, May 6, city of Marysville Parks Maintenance Manager Mike Robinson was aided in keeping that prom-ise, not only by members of Cub Scout Pack and Boy Scout Troop 106, but also by members of the Marysville stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose thousands of hours of volunteer labor over the past three years were cited by Marysville Mayor John Nehring on Feb. 22 as instru-mental in transforming a former Christmas tree farm into a pas-sive nature park.

    Robinson estimated that the 35 wildflower seed packets that he dispensed to parents and children alike that afternoon contained 75 seeds each. Given that his goal was for his vol-unteer crew to plant 25 seeds per square foot, that meant that each seed packet could cover three square feet.

    EVERETT The cities of Arlington and Marysville made a significant step in the progress of their work to des-ignate 4,091 acres of indus-trial and highway commercial properties between them as a Manufacturing Industrial Center with the help of the Snohomish County Council on Tuesday, May 6.

    The Planning and Community Development

    Committee of the County Council met that morning to approve a public hearing on the subject for Wednesday, June 4, at 10:30 a.m., after which the Council itself is slated to vote on the ordinance introduced by County Council member Ken Klein, which would amend countywide planing policies to identify the Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center as a candi-date for designation by the Puget Sound Regional Council.

    That would put the countys stamp of approval on it, which is a crucial step, Klein said. The cities can love this idea all day long, but without the countys approval, it cant be brought up before the Puget Sound Regional Council.

    Klein, a former Arlington City Council member, was credited by representatives of both the cities of Arlington and Marysville with being an out-

    spoken supporter of the Manufacturing Industrial Center, which would have the potential to become Snohomish Countys second largest manufacturing and industrial employment center, after Paine Field, with a current capacity of 5,315 jobs and a future capacity for 77,800 jobs.

    Theres a lot of good evidence that this site should be designated as a Manufacturing Industrial Center, Klein said. Manufacturing provides good jobs, with technical skills that are in demand in the modern workplace. This Manufacturing Industrial Center would be near other manufacturing and industrial employment centers, in Everett and Seattle. Its a large area of flat land that can be developed quickly. One of the best benefits is that it would allow our manufacturing and industrial employees who live in this area to work closer to home, thereby decreasing their commutes. From eco-nomic development to traffic, its the right move.

    Paul Ellis, community and economic development director for the city of Arlington, touted the May 6 meeting as short but monumental for the two cities, and elaborated on the value of the Manufacturing Industrial Center designation.

    It would be a status symbol for the businesses that were part of the Manufacturing Industrial Center, and it would inspire other businesses to look at this area, Ellis said.

    Ellis reported that one of the ques-tions that citizens have most frequently

    asked him is how the Manufacturing Industrial Center designation would affect the existing zoning of the site.

    The short answer is that it wouldnt, Ellis said. It fits within all the existing zoning. It wouldnt affect the airport, or the flight line, or any of the sur-rounding residences. We already have a utility plan in place. The cities of Arlington and Marysville have worked together for several years to streamline our permitting processes and align our roadwork to make sure were all on the same page.

    Its a long process thats nowhere near complete, but this is one more step, said Gloria Hirashima, commu-nity development director and chief administrative officer for the city of Marysville. Through Snohomish County Tomorrow, weve seen vir-tually uniform support for this Manufacturing Industrial Center from the cities in this county, because they recognize that this will benefit not only Marysville and Arlington, but the county and the region as a whole.

    If the Snohomish County Council approves the Manufacturing Industrial Center designation, Hirashima expects that the Puget Sound Regional Council will deliberate on the matter for six months to a year, enough time that such a designation would likely coin-cide with the countys revisions to its comprehensive plan.

    The Puget Sound Regional Council is also conducting an industrial land review which I expect would affect this, Hirashima said. If this goes through, its just one of a number of steps that we plan to help strengthen this areas economy and infrastructure.

    soil, one of them barefoot, to help further turn the soil, as Robinson explained to his younger volunteers the importance of sprinkling the seeds over the ground fairly evenly.

    Since some of these seed packets are for shorter wild-flowers, what I might have you do is line the edges of the plot with the shorter wildflowers, and plant the taller wildflow-ers in the middle, Robinson said. We didnt want this plot to be too close to the fence, because these wildflowers can grow tall enough 48 inches high, in some cases to be visible from the road. This plots location was also chosen because it offers full sunlight for sun-loving wildflowers, which should be blooming in about six weeks from now.

    While older kids, like 11-year-olds Cole Martin and Aaron Abele, took to the task fairly quickly, some of the younger tots, such as Norina Abeles other children, needed their moms and dads to dem-onstrate how to sprinkle the seeds without just dumping them in clumps.

    If theyre crowded too close together, they wind up competing for nutrients, Robinson said on May 6. After they finish planting the

    seeds, Ill go over them with the roller. Between that and everyone walking over the plot as theyre planting, itll drive the seeds even deeper, and by tomorrow or the next day, we should have some nice rain for them.

    My kids love playing in a park that they helped to build, Norina Abele said. Back before this was even a park, we were out here trim-ming the trees and putting the branches into piles for the wood-chipper.

    Although three of Shari Hubberts boys had already completed their Eagle Scout projects in Marysville parks, none of them were for Doleshel Park, but like Abeles children, that doesnt mean that Hubberts kids werent just as active in transforming the tree farm into a city park.

    Kids who serve develop a love for their community, Hubbert said. They see that lots of community members care, and it makes them care, and it inspires everyone to

    become part of building a better community. Our fam-ily recently took a trip to Los Angeles, and our kids were shocked at the amount of trash that wasnt being picked up. Its a good lesson to learn, that caring and doing is what makes the difference in a community.

    The way these wildflowers life cycle works is that theyll grow this spring and sum-mer, and then, when we mow them down in the fall, well be incorporating their seed heads into the soil, Robinson said. That timely mowing will allow us to take advan-tage of their natural regenera-tion.

    Its not a playground, but a place to enjoy nature, Ballew said. We have three resident deer here, and seeing them is quite magical.

    Doleshel Park is located at 9028 67th Ave. NE, adjacent to Kellogg Marsh Elementary and the Wilcox Farm Community Garden, and its hours are from 7 a.m. to dusk.

    SMOKEY POINT This years Village Community Services gala fundraiser on Saturday, May 3, tied into its theme of Its a Wonderful Life, not only by reflecting on VCSs significant accom-plishments over the years, but also by spotlighting a guest speaker who believes shes lived a richer life because of her own disabil-ity.

    Village Community Services Board member Art Hutton again addressed attendees of the annual gala to remind them of how VCS was started in 1963 as Victoria Ranch, whose mis-sion was to serve at-risk youth, before it expanded to provide vocational training and group home living to children and adults with dis-abilities in Stanwood.

    Were committed to enriching the lives of people with disabilities through not only vocational training and residential assistance, but also our music programs, said Hutton, who apologized for the absence of the Voices of the Village ensemble band from that evenings proceed-ings. Voices of the Village will have their own special

    fundraiser event later in the year, but in the meantime, we miss having them here as much as you do.

    To help those with dis-abilities address and over-come life challenges in their homes, at their jobs and as they interact with their com-munities, Hutton noted that VCS employs 75 caretakers and vocational consultants to help serve the needs of its 200-plus clients with disabil-ities in Snohomish County, not counting their volunteer staff.

    Michelle Dietz, director of development for Village Community Services, thanked the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians for donat-ing $5,000 by themselves, while a host of other spon-sors donated an additional $5,000, since not only did these contributions allow event organizers to yield a greater profit for VCSs pro-grams, but they also more than covered the speaking fee for Karen Gaffney, presi-dent of the nonprofit Karen Gaffney Foundation, who routinely speaks to groups around the world about how she has dealt with the dif-ficulties posed by her own Down Syndrome.

    Gaffney has already lived out her foundations

    stated mission, to achieve full inclusion for people with Down Syndrome and other disabilities, by receiv-ing a regular high school diploma from St. Marys Academy in Portland, and graduating from Portland Community College with both an Associate of Science degree and a teachers aide certificate.

    I meet with media and governments and fami-lies of people with Down Syndrome to change their expectations, but I dont do this work alone, Gaffney said. There are all sorts of organizations, like Village Community Services, that bring their communities a vision of hope.

    Joking that she was born with something extra, and it wasnt my height, the petite Gaffney recounted how she became not only the first person with Down Syndrome to complete a relay swim of the English Channel in 2001, but also swam the nine-mile span of Lake Tahoe in 2007 before crossing Boston Harbors five miles in 2009, in addi-tion to completing 16 swims across San Francisco Bay.

    I even swam from Alcatraz, and unlike the pris-oners who tried, I lived to

    tell the tale, Gaffney said. I owe a great deal to the gen-erations who came before me, and to organizations like Village Community Services, who had the cour-age to see people like me differently. They paved the way for new possibilities of education, inclusion and independence.

    Village Community Services is still striving to open more doors for those with disabilities, which is why theyve been seeking to recruit volunteers with expertise in finance, law, facilities management, busi-ness and the culinary arts to serve on their Board of Directors. Community members who possess such expertise but cant commit to Board positions are encour-aged to join VCSs roster of volunteer advisors for spe-cial projects. Either way, VCS is looking for people who passionately believe in the rights, talents and poten-tial of people with disabili-ties, and like Gaffney, want to work toward their full inclusion in the workforce and community.

    The Village Community

    Services Board of Directors meets on the last Tuesday of every month, at 6:30 p.m. VCSs service area includes all of Snohomish County, with a special empha-sis on the North County communities of Arlington, Darrington, Marysville, Tulalip, Everett, Stanwood, Granite Falls and Lake Stevens.

    Young people and adults of all musical abilities are invited to the Village Music

    and Arts Friday music jam sessions, featuring live music by Jon Dalgarn and the Voices of the Village, from 1-3 p.m. at 338 N. MacLeod Ave. in Arlington. Children 16 years or young-er must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.

    For more information on Village Community Services, please contact Dietz by phone at 360-653-7752, ext. 14, or via email at [email protected].

    Our community Arlington, Oso, Darrington has been tested in ways we could not have imagined. These are not tests that I am usually speaking about this has been a test of strength, courage, determination, compassion, resil-ience, collaboration and leadership.

    From the moments following the tragic event of March 22, members of our immediate family/com-munity responded to the test with remarkable skill. In the hours, days and weeks following, we observed hundreds and hundreds of outsid-ers descending upon the com-munity to help. The collaboration, coordination and leadership of this response were awe-inspiring.

    From the moment we opened

    our doors of Post Middle School to become the Red Cross Shelter, and opened the old high school to serve as the incident command, we observed such incredible organiza-tion, compassion and dedication. What a response! At one point, it was reported to us that there were 915 people working representing 117 different agencies, 25 states and Canada! That takes a lot of coordi-nation and collaboration.

    Our schools were also put to the test (again, not the ones they are used to). The loss of three of our students was excruciating. We all felt the pain for these families, friends and classmates. Our team has done an amazing job helping students and staff deal with this loss. Each of our schools held activities that helped to focus ener-gies on making a difference. Letter writing, coin drives, yellow shoe-laces and madalas were just a few examples of these activities.

    We were immediately contacted by so many colleagues and agen-cies from the region to offer assis-tance. Our elected officials offered assistance with potential grants,

    Community Response & Resilience

    Guest OpiniOn

    With the week of May 11-17 being recog-nized as Police Week and May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day in Marysville and across the nation, its a good time to reflect on the men and women of the Marysville Police Department and the essential public service they provide to protect our com-munity, solve crimes and pre-vent crime in partnership with citizens.

    Marysville Police are second to none in their dedication to providing outstanding polic-ing in partnership with the community to enhance safety, growth and neighborhood liv-ability. They carry out their call to duty with honor, courage and integrity, aware of the haz-ards and sacrifices that go with a job in law enforcement.

    City leadership reinforced its commitment to maintaining an innovative and professional police force this year with full-year funding for six new Patrol Officers four are cur-rently out on the beat, another just graduated from the Police Academy, and another one is headed there at the end of the month. This will allow for the addition of one officer to the citys pro-active N.I.T.E. team, and an extra patrol officer on each squad for better area cov-erage. N.I.T.E stands for neigh-borhood livability, intelligence and investigations, targeted enforcement and arresting offenders, and education.

    The city is also being better policed with the recent open-ing of a north annex at Smokey

    Point Boulevard and 156th Street. Through community meetings and conversations with residents in the Lakewood area, we found that they were looking for a stronger police presence in the neighborhoods and retail shopping areas. We heard them. The feedback has been positive, and were seeing quicker response times to calls for service in the north end.

    From a designated Stay Out of Drug Area downtown, a N.I.T.E. Team and innovative crime analysis tools, to crack-downs on drug crimes, auto theft and domestic violence, Marysville has strived to be at the forefront in enforcing some of the strongest public safety laws in our region. Police also team with county and regional entities, such as the Regional Narcotics Task Force and Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force.

    The type and volume of criminal activity in a commu-nity varies from year to year, and Marysville is no excep-tion. With the goal to improve neighborhood livability by focusing on a small group of repeat offenders who are responsible for a disproportion-ately large number of livability crimes, police are heavily tar-

    Its a good time to honor Police

    Revisit Minimum Wage discussion

    Minimum wage is an entry level remuneration while learning a new job as an apprentice, and is never intended to represent a living wage.

    The supposed need to make min-imum wage a living wage is because of the lack of jobs which would nor-mally pay a living wage because of the talent, endurance and/or ability to perform the more complex and/or demanding task at hand. Availability of such jobs requires the coopera-tion of government, business and the workforce to make the economy grow and expand. Too many oppres-sive regulations, too high interest rates, and labor rates which ulti-mately raise the price of products so they are no longer competitive, all will reduce the number of liv-ing wage jobs. So, everyone plays a role in a healthy economy which will provide those jobs. Detroit is an example of what happens when these essential ingredients are not in

    the right proportions. Having to pay $50/hour to install screws to hold tail-light lenses, during the latter part of the last century, is a classic example of why American manufac-turers moved their assembly lines out of the United States, because they could not be competitive if they paid the wages demanded by the unions who were prepared to shut them down, so thousands of good jobs were lost.

    It would be appropriate to look at the cause and effect of an action which would raise the minimum wage, as in the case of Washington state, to $15/hour. All of the entry-level employees with such a nice raise, including high school stu-dents with part time jobs, will be exuberant. If a person has a job, they have a living wage. Hey, why finish school when I can make a living wage just by getting any old job? The years of a lackluster economy combined with the threat of unending regulations and taxa-tion has stymied businesses you

    know, the people who create jobs by expanding existing operations and/or developing new products. All of the stimulus programs prom-ising to create shovel-ready jobs wound up benefitting investors like Warren Buffet and political cronies, while leaving the unemployed, well, unemployed. With no robust expansion of the economy, available jobs became mostly entry level. So, stimulating the economy, and not the pockets of the politically con-nected, is the way to develop a sup-ply of good paying jobs. Corporate America does an excellent job of this when they see their invest-ment will generate income to fuel additional growth, and not wind up being regulated and taxed to the point of becoming too risky to pur-sue. So keep in mind the problem is workable if we go about in the right way.

    As for the effect there are a num-ber of things to be considered:

    A special outreach worth highlighting was that of Gov. Jay Inslee. His quick and compassionate response made a huge impact and was much appreciated. Gov. Inslee received the

    Community Leadership Award on Thursday, May 8, from the Association of Washington School Administrators. The follow-ing remarks were shared to honor him:

    Honorable Jay Inslee, Governor of the State of Washington has demonstrat-ed incredible leadership and support to the Arlington and Darrington Communities during these extremely try-ing times. Within 24 hours of the Oso mudslide, the Governor was on site in our community, listening, learn-ing and offering to help in

    any way he could. He imme-diately took State action to provide resources and people power as needed. He was then instrumental in secur-ing Federal Assistance and encouraging the personal visit by President Barack Obama. Staff and students in both of our communities were stuck on either side of the slide. The Governor played a key role in securing National Guard assistance in transpor-tation across the temporary road. Gov. Inslees leader-ship and efficiency in taking action is accompanied by his caring demeanor. He engages

    and listens to all involved, checking in with victims at the Red Cross shelter and in the hospital. He also made a surprise visit to Post Middle School who was grieving from the loss of one of our students. He did an out-standing job speaking to the entire student body focused on caring for one another and your community. We are so thankful for Governor Inslees leadership, personal care and commitment and his response to this tragic

    event. We are all fortunate to call him the Honorable Jay Inslee, Governor of the State of Washington.

    As a school system, we have been partnering with our sister school district Darrington. We have both felt the deep loss of students, struggled to help our staff and students find ways to heal and recover, worked with the National Guard to transport our staff on either side of the slide to their work sites and part-

    nered to seek grant funds to offset financial impacts. Our relationships are strong Arlington, Oso and Darrington Strong. We may have been tested in unimagi-nable ways. A heartfelt thank you for the incredible response.

    geting vehicle theft, vehicle prowls and residential burglaries.

    A common denominator between these three crimes is that the perpetrators are committing them to support drug habits and drug activity. Crime analysis sta-tistics for 2013 showed a rise in vehicle prowls, vehicle thefts and residential burglaries.

    Our Police Department has crafted and begun to execute a strategy to bring these crime levels down in 2014.

    Through coordinated efforts between the citys N.I.T.E. team, Detectives Unit, crime analysis, patrol and good old-fashioned police work, as of March 2014, we have seen a drop in home bur-glaries and vehicle thefts, while vehicle prowls are more challeng-

    ing and remain on the rise.Its worth mentioning that these

    rates could be driven further down by following a few simple tips thats where citizens can help police. A good start is to always remove keys, roll up win-dows and lock the car when you park it, and never leave valuables in plain sight where thieves can see them.

    Marysville Police have been aggressive and more strategic in combating crime by pooling talent and resources, and thats reflected in a couple of recent widely reported crimes.

    Police in March arrested a 27-year-old man who impersonat-ed a SWAT team member during a robbery. The suspect drove to a Marysville parking lot in a vehicle with tinted windows, wearing a bullet-proof vest and a badge, and identifying himself as task force. He instructed two men to get out

    of a car at gunpoint, frisked them, then made off with a wallet full of cash. Detectives tracked him through cell phone record, leading to his eventual arrest.

    More recently, police last month recovered more than 60 stolen bicycles in Marysville, and arrested a man after investigating neighbors complaints of sus-pected criminal activity. Officers spotted two motorcycles at a house that were believed to be stolen. They also saw an expensive Olympic-style racing bike that had been reported stolen a few weeks earlier, purportedly worth about $7,000. Police searched the house, and recovered more than 60 bikes, stolen guns and other items. Photos of the bikes were posted online, along with police contact information to enable us to give rightful owners the opportunity to reclaim them.

    The N.I.T.E. team has done an

    incredible job this year in address-ing livability crimes. Team members have made 115 felony arrests to date, served 54 warrants, seized $12,000 in cash and recov-ered property through search warrants totaling about $75,000. They have focused extra attention on the Citys SODA (Stay Out of Drugs Area) district downtown, investigating houses with short-stay traffic suggestive of drug traf-ficking.

    On the all-important crime prevention front, the Marysville Volunteer Program (MVP) recently welcomed four new members, and interest in form-ing Neighborhood Watches is on the rise. With summer fast approaching, both programs and the Business Watch program provide services such as vaca-tion house checks, and raising awareness that people should get to know their neighbors and be

    watchful when they notice suspi-cious individuals or activity that looks out of place. Marysville Police are glad to help you become involved in any of these programs. I encourage you to contact them to find out more.

    In closing, remember to always call 911 to report suspicious activity in neighborhoods, parks and places where you shop. You may label what youre seeing as sketchy, but not suspicious. On the other hand, your call may be the one that stops a crime before it happens, or leads to an arrest.

    Thats a perfect example of community members working in partnership with police to deter and prevent criminal activity in an effort to enhance public safety and livability.

    NEHRING FROM PAGE 4

    1. The incentive to improve oneself and learn how to become more valu-able and productive to your employer will be removed because just having a job will provide you with a liv-ing wage.

    2. Everyone, includ-ing part-time high school kids will be making, in Washingtons case, $15/hour.

    3. The person who was hired and trained under the old minimum wage, and was given, say, a $3/hour raise while they improved their skill set to the next level will want $18/hour, because after all they earned a $3/hour raise after they were hired.

    4. The lead/crew chief will want his or her wages increased at least the equiva-lent of the minimum wage adjustment, or possibly more if his/her old wage was, say, twice the minimum wage.

    5. Then we have the supervisor, the manager and so on, who will want their wages/salaries adjusted because the newbie with limited skills is making $15 per hour.

    The owner will be faced

    with the dilemma of how he can keep his team intact and satisfied. The easiest solution is to give every employee a raise, then raise prices to compensate for the additional cost of opera-tion, which will affect the volume of business, his bot-tom line, and the perception of his customers. Take, for example, McDonalds. The $5 meal will go to $7 or $8. The fellow with the lawncare business will soon realize he has to raise his rates, as will the hairdresser and the FedEx driver, and on and on it goes, everyone needing more and more income to maintain their necessary lifestyle. Forget about frivol-ity, lets just stick with basics. The wage/salary creep will affect everyone and those with real-time income of wages and salaries will probably be able to secure increases to offset the inevi-table inflation spiral that will be spawned with such a large increase in minimum wage. In the end, prices will increase, wiping out the benefit of this increase in minimum wage and every-thing will be back to where it was before such a large increase in minimum wage was initiated ... except for

    one thing. Those who are retired, on a fixed income, or reliant on Social Security will have no way to adjust to the inflationary spiral that will surely follow such an ill-conceived solution to a serious problem. Clear the way for job creation and for-get about throwing money at the problem, money which the economy doesnt have, the implementation of which will only make matters worse, especially for seniors. If the minimum wage is almost doubled, you cannot imagine the hurt it will put on someone with a fixed income.

    As a small business owner who has dealt with mini-mum wage increases, I know how employees will react, what effect it will have on inflation, and it doesnt take a rocket scientist to realize what the impact will be on seniors, the most vulnerable and the least able to cope. So lets rethink any adjustment to the minimum wage and keep in mind the effect it will have on those who have worked hard all their lives and are no longer in a posi-tion to cope with the effects of such a drastic change in the economy.

    MARYSVILLE The Marysville chapter of Soroptimist International hopes bargain shoppers will again help them support the community through their annual Junktique sale on Saturday, May 10, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Jennings Park barns, located at 6915 Armar Rd. in Marysville.

    We made a net profit of about $5,000 on last years Junktique, and we want to beat that by at least $50 this year, said Carol Biegler, as she and fellow Marysville Soroptimist Marge Due sorted through the storage garage that Harv Jubie had donated to them to house their donated gods prior to the sale.

    Weve received three Royal Doulton Figurines, that are worth about $800, Biegler said. Weve also got one of those vintage big Barbie dolls, plus a bunch of sportswear.

    Its amazing what people will part with, Due said, as she held a Cabbage Patch doll. Weve gotten a lot of really nice kids toys this year, and more mens items, so theyre not stand-ing around twiddling their thumbs while the women shop.

    While the event is a glori-fied garage sale, Marysville Soroptimist members named it a Junktique to indicate the upscale quality of its goods, which include furniture and other gen-tly used household items. The garage sale portion of Junktique is held in con-junction with a bake sale, and both fundraisers go toward the variety of proj-ects that the Marysville chapter of Soroptimist International conducts on behalf of the community.

    Well have pies, cakes cookies and brownies, all homemade, Due said.

    Biegler emphasized that the Marysville Soroptimists keep not one penny of profit from those sales, whose monies are all rein-vested in programs for women and girls, while Due added that any unsold goods left over at the end of the Junktique are donated to the Marysville Goodwill.

    TULALIP With the number of Arts &

    Technology High School seniors who are graduating out of the drama club at the end of this school year,

    Arts & Tech theater faculty advisor Aleesha Paddleford wanted to give them one last hurrah, while also enticing underclassmen to give act-ing a shot.

    To that end, Arts & Techs two-night Blitz Theatre Show contin-ues on Saturday, May 10, with The Last Days of

    Sherlock Holmes and The Neglected Husbands Sewing Club, two one-hour, one-act plays running from 7-9 p.m.

    Paddleford explained that students and faculty started prepping for the plays in mid-February, and proudly touted how the brisk pace of production has put all

    the segments of the cast and crew through their paces, from script analysis and character breakdowns to set designs and even finding props.

    Theres a reason this is called Hell Week, Paddleford said on Wednesday, May 7, as makeup artists tested out their techniques on the actors. We have about 50 kids total, split up among four different plays over two consecutive nights. Some of them get stage fright, if its their first time, but theyre such amazing kids that they never fail to step up on show night and wow us all.

    Arts & Tech senior Jared Ramey had never performed in a school

    play before this year, but he enjoyed his first time on stage so much that he decided to do it again.

    I enjoy taking on a new persona, Ramey said. For a small school, I think we did a pretty good job with these plays.

    These plays are really funny, and weve worked really hard on them, said Arts & Tech junior and cast-mate Mystik Kays, who had previously acted as a freshman. Id like for more people to see what weve done.

    Admission is $5. For more information, log onto the Facebook event page for the Blitz Theatre Show at https://m.facebook.com/events/1477830132435098.

    MARYSVILLE Marysville-Pilchuck track and field placed third in boys and eighth in girls during the Tomahawk Classic on May 3.

    The invitational was created 11 years ago as a Saturday event that wouldnt conflict with multi-sport athletes schedules. We have had issues with Saturday events in the past, M-P head coach Randy Davis said. We have had kids that had conflicts on that day.

    It was an especially strong day for the boys jumps.

    The event starts later than other track events, allowing for athletes to avoid constraints in their sport-ing schedules.

    It was great seeing all the teams coming out for the Tomahawk Classic, M-P jumps coach Mike Cull said.

    M-P senior Chris Jones took first in the long jump, leaping for 21-06.25. Were putting our jump-ers in a good position to do well at the end of the season, Cull said.

    M-P senior Clifford Paulk placed third in the same event, with his longest leap being 19-10.25.

    We have kids that just keep improving, Cull said. Over the

    years, we see more and more ath-letes compete at the college level.

    In the triple jump, M-P junior Zach Verge placed second, with a distance of 41-02.75.

    M-P senior Dante Fields placed fourth in the triple jump, reaching a distance of 38-11.75.

    Verge also achieved third place in pole vault, with a height of 11-06.00.

    M-P junior Ilya Nikitenko and senior J. Owin Ell tied for seventh in the pole vault, with a height of 10-00.00

    The girls had success in their jumps as well.

    M-P senior Charlee Pilon placed third in the girls long jump, with a distance of 16-00.25.

    Shes been pretty consistent around 16 feet. Cull said. Were trying to get her feeling good about entering districts.

    The track events also went well for M-P.

    In the tack events, M-P placed first in the boys 4x100 relays, with a time of 43.44 set by senior Deion Stell, Fields, Paulk and junior Austin Joyner.

    Joyner also burned up the 100 meters placing second with a time of 11.3,5. Paulk placed fifth in the 100 meters, with a time of 11.75.

    Jones was eighth in the 100

    meters, with a time of 12.17.Stell placed third in the 200

    meters, finishing with a time of 23.40.

    Fields placed fifth in the 400 meters, with a time of 52.39.

    Freshmen Alexa Covert and Catrina Wright, senior Wesley Bradley and Pilon placed third in the girls 4x200 relay, with a time of 1:52.55.

    In the girls 100 meters, M-P sophomore Bianca Acuario placed fifth with a time of 13.55, and freshman Alexa Covert placed sixth with a time of 13.55.

    In the girls 400 meters, Bradley placed sixth with a time of 1:03.73.

    M-P junior Cassie LaBake was sixth in the 800 meters, finishing with a time of 2:3.10.

    Covert, Wright, and freshmen Stephanie Vargas and Isabella Cruz placed fifth in the 4x100 relay, finishing with a time of 55.35.

    In boys discus, M-P junior Corbin Ferry placed third, throw-ing for 146-00.

    In boys shot put, senior Juan Ventura placed fourth heaving for 49-2.00. In girls shot put, Lauren Edgar placed sixth, throwing for 31-05.00.

    BY BRANDON [email protected]

    MARYSVILLE Lakewood High School stood out once again in track and field during the Tomahawk Classic on May 3.

    The Classic, for the past 11 years, has invited schools from various leagues and conferences to com-pete.

    Almost all Saturday meets are invitational, so it doesnt matter what league the schools come from, Marysville-Pilchuck head track and field coach Randy Davis said.

    The Cougars placed second overall among the boys, and the girls finished fourth.

    Both teams showed depth and excellence across many events.

    Overall, we competed very well, Lakewood track and field head coach Jeff Sowards said. In events like these, we dont put our best people in our best events.

    The 2A team excelled particu-larly in the boys track events, plac-ing second fastest in state this year in the 4x800 relay with a time of 8:04.90.

    The season has gone really well, Sowards said. We broke 15 school records, and that is phenomenal.

    And it was no surprise when Lakewood seniors Drew Cabalas and Preston Davis, and juniors Alex Cooper and Douglas Davis, all set personal records in their legs, as well as breaking the previ-ous record.

    Im really pleased with all of them, Sowards said. They set a goal to break on their own.

    That goal was to finish the relay in 8:10, and the team went above and beyond that goal.

    I dont think it was any surprise. Everyone wanted to go under two seconds, Cooper said.

    The team agreed that it was the selfless effort that lead to the break-ing of the record.

    I was kind of out there by myself, but I kept thinking about my team, Cabalas said. Were a really close team. We use each other to empower ourselves.

    We had a good start, Preston Davis said. We had personal records all around, and great work from everyone.

    I just know I can always count on my teammates, Cooper said.

    Douglas Davis faced adversity when he was pitted against a rival in the 4x800 relay who had bested him in cross country earlier in the

    school year. I knew there was a rival,

    Douglas Davis said. It drove me to take the lead and PR.

    The girls 4x800 relay didnt do too badly either, with freshman Abigail Graf, sophomore Autumn Jensen, and juniors Darby Throndsen and Chloe McCann finishing second with a time of 12:19.06.

    The hurdles were also a focal point of Lakewoods presence.

    Lakewood junior Andrew Stich burned up the 300-meter hurdles and the 110-meter hurdles, placing first in both events. He clocked in with a time of 39.55 in the 300-meter hurdles, and a time of 15.17 in the 110-meter hurdles.

    His self-driven nature is infec-tious with the others on the team, Sowards said.

    Behind Stich in the 300-meter hurdles was Lakewood senior Tyler Dalton, finishing second with a time of 42.49.

    Dalton also placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdles, with a time of 17.42.

    Stich was also in the 4x400 relay, along with Cooper, Cabales and senior Ryan Whitehead, in which they finished second with a time of 3:36.20.

    Stich also stood out in javelin, placing second overall with a throw of 168-11.

    Ryan Whitehead was seventh in the 110-meter hurdles, with a time of 17.60, and was sixth in the 300-meter hurdles, with a time of 44.26.

    In the girls 300-meter hurdles, sophomore Stephanie Smith placed first with a time of 49.33.

    Smith also placed fourth in the 100-meter hurdles, with a time of 17.68.

    Lakewood freshman Josephine Cox placed fourth in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 51.16.

    The speediest finish from Lakewood came from sophomore

    MARYSVILLE The Marysville communitys Cinco de Mayo celebration marked its eighth year in a row on Friday, May 2, in the Totem Middle School cafeteria and gymnasium, with appearances from com-munity dignitaries including Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Becky Berg and Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, the latter of whom delivered opening remarks for the event that touched upon the sense of community and inclusive-ness that he believes events such as Cinco de Mayo help to foster in Marysville.

    I thought it was fan-tastic, said Nehring, who also let attendees know about the citys Diversity Advisory Committee booth at the evenings event. Many members of the Diversity Advisory Committee were actually in attendance, so we encouraged the community to check out their booth. It was also great to see all the kids getting to climb around on the police and fire vehi-cles, and getting to know our police and fire person-nel. And I had to thank the events organizers for the great food that my family

    and I enjoyed that night.While the complimentary

    Mexican food was prepared by Marysville School District food service students in the School House Caf program, music and entertainment were provided by Marichis Mi Pais and other area groups, including a crew of breakdancers from the Marysville Family YMCA, made up of students from Marysville Middle School and Marysville Getchell High School.

    Free food and our band are always big hits, said Marjorie Serge, who has coordinated the Cinco de Mayo celebration with Wendy Messarina Volosin and Jim Strickland since its inception, and is part of the citys Diversity Advisory Committee. The kids activ-ities are always pretty popu-lar too, whether its playing soccer or breaking pia-tas in the gym, or Molina Healthcare with its station-ary blender bike and its mas-cot, Dr. Cleo.

    Molina Healthcares unique stationary bike allows guests to make them-selves frozen non-alcoholic drinks, by working up a sweat through pedaling as fast as they can.

    Messarina, also a Diversity Advisory Committee mem-

    ber, emceed this years Cinco de Mayo celebration with the assistance of Ada Garza, the Spanish liaison at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, who served as an interpreter. Messarina and Serge thanked the Marysville Rotary, the Marysville YMCA, Molina Healthcare, the Marysville Free Methodist Church and Marysville Ford for monetary donations which allowed the event to be free to all attendees again this year.

    Its always a challenge raising money, but its so rewarding seeing people coming together for food and music, especially when its free for them to enjoy, Serge said. I also think a lot of families get information at Cinco de Mayo, about the services that are available to them, that they might not get otherwise. I hope it gives them a feeling of inclusion in our community. For our community to appreciate how wonderful our diversity is, we need to get together and celebrate each others cultures.

    We do need more donors for next year, Messarina said. We could also use more students and families with talents, such as sing-ing and dancing, that theyre willing to perform.

    ARLINGTON The Arlington Garden Clubs annual plant sale is return-ing to the Arlington City Hall Plaza, located at 238 N. Olympic Ave., from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, May 10, with a goal of rais-ing 25 percent more in proceeds for the beautifica-tion of Arlington and the enhancement of Arlington High Schools horticulture programs.

    Wed like to restart our scholarships for local stu-dents, Diane Jochimsen, a Garden Club member whos found herself tending to several hundred plants that were donated to her and her husband, Mike Conner, for the plant sale. We do hostas and vari-ous specialties, and weve received lots of donations of seedums.

    In addition to provid-ing support for seven area high schools agricultural classes and chapters of the Future Farmers of America, the Arlington Garden Club pitches in for city proj-ects, including their recent sprucing up of the Mayors Flower Garden at the City Hall Plaza, which they accomplished by installing new plants, rocks, flowers and a pink dogwood tree. The Arlington Garden Club

    dedicated that flower bed in 2006, and its members have maintained it ever since.

    As for our scholarship, were only doing one this year, Jochimsen said. Well be accepting applications until June 1, because weve extended the deadline.

    Jochimsen and Conner praised their fellow mem-bers of the Arlington Garden Club for contrib-uting not only so many perennials, annuals, vege-table starts and more to this

    years plant sale, but also a host of baked goods for the bake sale that will be run-ning concurrently with that event.

    We have at least 40 folks who have contributed to the plant sale, but the bake sale is a bit more difficult to reckon, Jochimsen said. Baking is a special talent.

    The couple noted that all the proceeds from this years bake sale will be going to the Oso Fire Department.

    Theyre rapidly reaching

    the point of exhausting all their resources, Jochimsen said.

    Conner added that plants recycled from the Mayors Flower Garden will also be included in the May 10 plant sale.

    So come on down, because weve got every-thing from rhubarb to red

    twig dogwood, Conner laughed. Our selection runs from R to R, and includes everything in between.

    Were going to have better-looking plants than I think weve ever had in the past, Jochimsen said. In fact, our members have been directed that, if it

    doesnt look good, it doesnt go on our sales shelves.

    Those with any questions at the event can consult with Snohomish County Master Gardener John Marsh, and those with questions before or after the event can email [email protected] or log onto www.arlingtongardenclub.org.
