MARYSVILLE — The United Way of Snohomish County and the AARP are offering area taxpayers a few different ways to pre-pare their income taxes free of charge this year.

The Marysville Goodwill’s Job Training and Education Center on 9315 State Ave. is providing free tax prepara-tion services Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-8:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., through Tax Day on April 15.

Marysville’s American Legion Post 178 at 119 Cedar Ave. is likewise pro-viding free tax filing help, albeit for military person-nel and taxpayers with low to moderate incomes, Mondays and Fridays from 4-8 p.m., and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Both the United Way and the AARP sites are accept-ing clients on a first-come, first-served basis, but the AARP site allows clients to call 425-220-4940 to reserve meeting times in advance, whereas the United Way site cannot schedule appoint-ments.

“We helped prepare 28 returns within our first two weeks, and the aver-age return had a $3,043 tax refund,” said Sue Fernalld, free tax preparation cam-paign site manager at the Marysville Goodwill. “We work with clients one-on-one and use the latest computer software to make sure they receive all the tax credits for which they’re eli-gible.”

“There are a lot of ben-efits out there that we try

MARYSVILLE — Denise Jantz has a gutted base-ment and a torn-up backyard, and like her neighbor Roy Meyer, she believes that someone should be held accountable for it.

Jantz lives in the 3800 block of 122nd Street NE in Marysville, and like Meyer, she found her basement flooding within a matter of minutes on the afternoon of Jan. 28.

“It was 5:30 p.m. when I first noticed it,” Jantz said. “By 6 p.m., I’d gotten to the Arlington Hardware store just before it closed, to buy a sump-pump and a five-gallon bucket. Within an hour and a half of first noticing it, I had three inches of standing water in my basement. By 8 p.m., I’d called the fire department, but there wasn’t much they could do. My daughter pumped out 500 gallons with the shop-vac by 11:30 p.m. and the water level was still rising. That water just came in like a flood.”

In spite of Jantz’s brother digging a 60-foot-long

ditch in her backyard to help drain out the excess water, she recalled that her backyard was filled with 6-9 inches of standing water at one point, deep enough that “I couldn’t even see the trench.” The erosion from the one end of the ditch, just under the concrete of her back porch, has cracked the concrete,

and make them aware of,” said Linda Jacobus, one of the vol-unteers at the Marysville site. “If they can save money on medi-cal, dental, food or utilities, that’s more money that can be put to other needs.”

Fernalld stipulated that the upper income limit for filing at the Marysville Goodwill is $51,000, and that clients need valid photo IDs for themselves and original Social Security cards for all their claimants.

“We’ve had to turn people away some evenings, and we’re still down from the number of clients we saw by this time last year,” Fernalld said.

Neil Parekh, vice president of marketing and communications for the United Way of Snohomish County, explained that, as of Feb. 4, the Marysville site’s earned income tax credits added up to $25,433, and its total refunds amounted to $72,819, with an average income of $23,505 for its clients.

“Countywide, we have filed about 100 fewer returns com-pared to the same period last year,” Parekh said. “This is due mostly to the IRS’ delay in the start of the filing season, to Jan. 30 this year instead of Jan. 15. Our free tax preparation sites opened Jan. 22, but many people had not received all of their tax forms yet. Some taxpayers may still actually be waiting for forms they need to file an accurate return.”

Although the IRS will not be ready to accept certain forms associated with the education tax credit until mid-February, Parekh reassured those who have already

filed their taxes through a United Way of Snohomish County free tax preparation site that they don’t need to come back.

“We have their paperwork on file and will submit their return once the IRS is ready,” Parekh said.

Marysville’s Bianca Galvan has been coming to the United Way’s free tax preparation centers for the past three years, and for this busy mom of six children, the price is just right.

“Some places charge a lot of money for the same services,” Galvan said. “Not only do they try and find me as much money as possible in my returns, but they also give me ways to save money on shopping and transportation. They do a really good job and really help a lot of people without asking for anything in return. Not many people do that anymore.”

Pete Stachowaik is volunteer-ing as a tax preparer at both the Marysville Goodwill and the Legion Hall this year, attributed many of his clients’ concerns at both sites to TV commercials by for-profit tax preparers.

“These companies have people scared to do their own returns out of uncertainty,” Stachowaik said. I really enjoy doing taxes for people, because I get to meet new people and help them out. Many of them don’t even realize they’re eligible for things like the earned income tax credit.”

“One lady was so happy to get a refund that she almost cried,” said Amy Howell, one of Stachowaik’s fellow volunteers at the AARP free tax preparation center. “Another got so much more than she expected that she swore she’d buy her daughter a car.”

and Jantz is already dreading the power bill she’s going to get from running three dehumidifiers simul-taneously to try and combat the mold that’s already started sprout-ing in her attic.

“My sump-pump was pumping 2,000 gallons an hour for 24 hours before the water started receding,” Jantz said. “I had to tear out 1,000 square feet of carpet, and take out all the cabinets and the hearth of the fireplace, and I can smell the sewer effluent from when people’s septic systems failed.”

Meyer likewise reported that the 100-foot-by-25-foot backyard of his parents’ property was under eight inches to a full foot of water.

“I was pumping for a solid week,” Meyer said. “For a while, I was literally working 24 hours a day to try and get it out.”

Jantz believes WinCo Foods, in the 3900 block of 116th Street NE in Marysville, exacerbated the flooding at least by pump-ing out an overflowing retention pond at the height of the storm, but Michael Read, vice president of public and legal affairs for WinCo, asserted that this water was pumped through a hose into another retention pond, near the Kohl’s store in the 3700 block of the same street.

“As per the city’s instructions, we will now pump our overflow into another retention pond even further away, but not because of this issue,” Read said. “It will be to use a retention pond with an even larger capacity. This is nothing new. Everyone is experiencing the same issues here.”

City of Marysville Public Works Director Kevin Nielsen agreed,

pointing out that flooding is not an uncommon occurrence in the area due to the high ground water level of the region, which was com-pounded by the intensity of recent precipitation in the area.

“We had eight inches of rain in January, which is not normal,” said Nielsen, who actually agreed with Jantz that the sandy soil poses a problem. “WinCo’s system is totally separate from the water conveyance lines in this neighborhood, and their water flows south, whereas this neighborhood lies to the north of WinCo.”

Nielsen met with Jantz, Meyer and roughly two dozen other resi-dents of the neighborhood on Feb. 5, all of whom reported either standing water in their basements and/or failures of their septic sys-tems. Since then, Nielsen has dis-patched crews to check the convey-ance lines to ensure that the flow of water out of the neighborhood is not being interrupted.

In the meantime, Denise Jantz has a carport full of foul-smelling carpets and a basement that’s been stripped to the bare concrete, while Meyer has an 80-year-old widowed mother living in a home that she and her husband bought 48 years ago, but which the sewer effluent has rendered “contaminated.”

“My insurance wouldn’t cover this even if I had flood insurance,” Jantz said. “It’s considered ‘ground-water intrusion,’ so it doesn’t even fall under the heading of a flood. I’m supposedly at fault for not maintaining my property to pre-vent this.”

“My dad passed away just last year,” Meyer said. “My mom is already paying nearly all her money in taxes. Who’s going to pay for these damages? Who is responsible for this?”

ARLINGTON — As of approxi-mately 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5, Arlington Police were on the scene of a reported armed robbery of an espresso stand in the 100 block of W. Division Street.

The suspects are two white males in their late teens, who reportedly displayed a weapon during the robbery and fled from the scene on foot heading north.

The Arlington Police Department had additional units from the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office — as well as the Marysville,

Everett and Stillaguamish Tribal police departments — assisting in trying to locate the suspects, but as of approximately 4:30 p.m., the K9 track was unable to lead officers to locate the suspects.

Security camera footage shows one suspect wearing a blue hood-ie, blue plaid pajama pants and a beanie, and the other suspect wearing a gray hoodie, a black backpack and a black beanie.

Further information on this case will be released as it becomes avail-able.

MARYSVILLE — A convicted sex offender was charged with two counts of domestic violence — one for unlawful imprison-ment with a weapon other than a firearm, and the other for fourth degree assault — by the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office on Feb. 1, after his Jan. 14 arrest for allegedly punching his girlfriend in the face and then barricading himself in the wom-an’s apartment in Marysville, with a knife and her 4-year-old daugh-ter, for almost 13 hours before SWAT members broke through the door.

Jason Tryon — a 33-year-old Level 3 sex offender who was convicted of second degree rape of a child in 2005 and failure to register as an offender in 2011 — was jailed on $500,000 bail in Snohomish County Superior Court on Feb. 4, after plead-ing not guilty to the two felony charges.

Shortly before 4 a.m. on Jan. 14, Tryon’s neighbor called 911 to report that Tryon had threat-ened her with a knife, punched his girlfriend and was inside his

girlfriend’s apartment, in the 1300 block of Cedar Avenue in Marysville, with the knife and his girlfriend’s 4-year-old daugh-ter. When police officers arrived on the scene, Tryon’s girlfriend explained to them that she and Tryon had gotten into an argu-ment after smoking marijuana and methamphetamine, after which Tryon threatened to cut himself with a large kitchen knife and his girlfriend threatened to hit him with a metal baseball bat if he didn’t drop the knife.

According to Tryon’s girlfriend, Tryon grabbed the bat from her, threw her to the ground and punched her in the face, bloody-ing her nose, after which she ran to the apartment next door for help. The neighbor told officers that Tryon’s girlfriend knocked on her door shortly after 3 a.m., and when the neighbor attempt-ed to retrieve the daughter of Tryon’s girlfriend from him, Tryon grabbed the handle of the knife in his waistband and told her to back off. The neighbor reported that the 4-year-old girl was repeatedly pleading with Tryon to let her leave, and after Tryon rebuffed the neighbor’s pleas to release the girl a second

time, the neighbor called 911.Negotiators with the Marysville

Police SWAT spent more than 12 hours communicating with Tryon, both face-to-face and via telephone, to try and convince him to let the girl go. Although Tryon had barricaded the apart-ment door with furniture, he went to the window to speak with officers, allowing them a view inside of the apartment. Although the girl was found physically unharmed in the clos-et of the apartment when SWAT finally forced entry, she told a child interview specialist how scared she was when Tryon and her mom started fighting, as well as when Tryon refused to let her leave.

Tryon was under the super-vision of the state Department of Corrections at the time of the standoff. According to the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, he had no fixed address, and the conditions of his freedom included avoiding illegal drugs and staying away from children. At the time of his arrest, he was already awaiting trial for moving from a Marysville home and fail-ing to register as a sex offender at his new address.

4 TheArlingtonTimes•TheMarysvilleGlobe February13,2013THE PUBLIC FORUM

A few years ago the talk of the town was the size of Marysville-Pilchuck High

School — about 2,800 students on the only high school campus. Not many were happy with so many students in one school.

There were concerns about student safety, but just as unsettling was the knowledge that many of the students could go through school without really being known by school admin-istration, counselors, and many teach-ers. There was very little in the way of personalized education focused upon the individual student. Counselors were swamped with the sheer num-bers of students that they were expected to monitor toward gradua-tion. The graduation rate hovered at just over 50 percent.

The school, which had received a grant to learn about smaller high schools, implemented a study of what schools should provide for each and every student. Through the work of

teachers and staff at the school and district level, a set of guidelines were developed (Guiding Principles for Secondary Schools). It states that a school should be relationship driven; that each student should be known, valued and engaged. Curriculum should be rigorous, meeting district and state standards. Schools should have a relevant identity, one that is connected to relevant career path-ways, and that they should partner with the community providing stu-dents real life experiences doing real work. Schools need to be accountable to their students, parents, guardians and our mission and vision. That

mission states that every student will be proficient in literacy and math; that they will graduate on time, and be prepared for success beyond high school.

As a result, the development of smaller high schools within the large high school campus began to take shape, and was implemented. In 2006, with an assist from the Marysville community in the passing of a suc-cessful bond, Marysville-Getchell High School campus was created, and four of the smaller high schools moved to the new campus. Now instead of one gigantic high school, we have eight smaller high schools. Marysville-Pilchuck, the largest, has fewer than 1,200 students. Marysville Getchell is really four small schools, each with less than 400 students. Marysville Mountain View, Arts and Technology High School, and Heritage High School complete the

Smaller high schools, greater success

In the Arlington School District, teachers work in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs).

These PLCs are made up of grade level teachers (such as teachers in a school who all teach third grade) or teachers who teach the same subject (such as teachers in the high school who teach Algebra 1).

In the PLC model teachers work together interdependently to inform their professional practice in order to improve learning for all students. Collaboration in the PLC model must be intentional and focused on four key questions regarding student learning:

1. What is it we want students to learn?

2. How will we know if they have learned it?

3. How will we respond when they don’t learn?

4. How will we respond when they

already know it?The benefits to teachers who work

in PLCs are numerous. The research cites gains in student achievement, higher quality solutions to problems, increased confidence among all staff, teachers support one another’s strengths and accommodate weak-nesses, ability to test new ideas, more support for new teachers, and an expanded pool of ideas, materials and method (Little 1990).

Finding time for teams to meet is critical for PLCs to flourish. Teams

find time in many creative ways so that they can meet on a weekly basis with their PLCs. The time is usually found by teams meeting before or after school, or instead of holding a staff meeting. PLCs also need longer periods of time to meet that can’t be found within a weekly schedule. District inservice days provide the necessary continuity for teachers to expand their building PLC to include their colleagues in like grades/sub-jects from across the district. These opportunities allow teachers from across the district to identify what all students in the Arlington School District “must know and be able to do” no matter what school they attend. We refer to these standards as our “guaranteed and viable cur-riculum” which are those standards considered essential for all students

A few weeks ago, Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima and I

met with a prominent real estate investor who had recently visited to walk around Marysville’s down-town and waterfront district. He is a smart entrepreneur who knows a thing or two about what it takes to help revitalize a downtown, because he has done it before.

While he found many favorable traits to match our own commu-nity’s vision for downtown, he said that all the large-scale planning to create an urban, pedestrian-friendly downtown are premature if you can’t first address the seem-ingly insignificant little things first.

Litter is high on that list.Litter sounds like a simple

enough problem to contain, yet all too often, a look around our neighborhoods, businesses, parks, sidewalks and streets says oth-erwise. Litter is a blight that can drag down neighborhoods, no different than the other commu-nity issues we are tackling, such as graffiti, potholes, and yard and building clutter visible from city streets and alleys.

Marysville has been working hard in recent years to inspire community pride through a vari-ety of different actions and initia-tives such as our annual Clean Sweep Week, Graffiti Paint Out, and Pride of Marysville Awards that honor residents and busi-ness people who take pride in their homes and property. But if we can’t first set a good example for ourselves, how can we create a good first impression for a cor-porate partner looking to invest, build or relocate here?

We all share in the responsibil-ity.

Keeping Marysville clean is a priority of mine, as well as our residents of Marysville, and we all look forward to seeing Marysville sparkle as the spring season approaches. Here are just a few ways that you can help:

Report litter — the city, through adoption of the state Uniform Litter Control Code and our Park Code, prohibits littering and enables the levying of fines in an effort to promote public clean-liness and clean parks.

Volunteer during Clean Sweep Week this April 21-28 — Clean Sweep is becoming a great tradi-tion. It’s all about establishing civic pride, creating a better quality of life in Marysville and our down-town, and inspiring residents and businesses to take ownership of our neighborhoods not just for one week, but every week. Our goal with Clean Sweep is to cre-ate as much visible change as we can in a short period of time, and done successfully, transplant this same approach to other parts of the community. Keep informed regarding more details, coming in March.

During Clean Sweep Week, or any time year-round, start your own self-initiated neighborhood cleanup or community service project any time. The Council budgeted funds for a few neigh-

After being away from Lake Stevens for a few weeks I tuned I tuned

my radio to AM 1090 to pick up Thom Hartmann, a favor-ite talk show host. Alas, no Hartmann, just sports babble. I checked the frequency. Yup, it was 1090. Where had Hartmann gone?

So I checked the web. Not only was Hartmann gone from Seattle’s KPTK Radio 1090 but from Portland’s radio KPOJ and also WTDY of Madison Wisconsin and he also turned up missing in San Francisco and Bangor, Maine. It seems that progressive radio is being selectively shut down in areas where the last election tipped strongly toward Democratic candidates. Might these changes be due to random broadcast economics or could something else be at work?

So I did some checking. In each case, the stations involved were controlled by Clear Channel and its subsidiaries — the ones that feature Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. The Clear Channel name refers to Class-A ratings which means they enjoy maximum freedom from interference from other stations and nighttime atmo-spheric issues. Another char-acteristic is that Clear Channel

invented Fox News. This level of media control

sounds so ... Italian! In Italy, four-time prime minister Silvio Berlusconi owns half of Italy’s TV channels, most local stations, the biggest advertis-ing and publicity agency, Italy’s top publishing house, the nation’s most popular news magazine, major newspapers, banks, insurance, cinema, video distribution and Italy’s best soccer club, AC Milan. With that clout, it wasn’t diffi-cult for Berlusconi to promote himself into high office. He recently hinted that he might be aiming for a fifth election as Prime Minister.

With time and practice, Mitt Romney might do the same. His investment firm, Bain Capital owns Clear Channel and its subsidiary, CBS. Total holdings include 1,200 radio stations that dominate American markets from sea to shining sea. Clear Channel owns four stations in the greater Seattle area, including KPTK 1090 where

Hartmann once held the 1:00 to 3:00 slot.

The fact that Boston-based Thomas Lee Partners Inc., also holds an interest in Clear Channel weakens my argu-ment. That firm has a record of large contributions to Democratic candidates includ-ing Obama. Nevertheless, the patterned erosion of progres-sive radio can’t help but raise suspicions in conspiracy-theo-ry nuts like me.

There was a time when government thought that owning two stations or news-papers in a single market was unhealthy. Such limitations were relaxed in the 1990s rush to de-regulate, opening the door for Clear Channel to control four radio stations in Seattle. Current limitations hold a broadcast empire to less than 39 percent coverage of the nation but it doesn’t take a genius to understand that shrewd distribution can make that 39 percent a telling influ-ence on public opinion.

I make a point of listening to conservative broadcasters to know what the Right is trying to do and how they’re trying to do it. As a lapsed Republican, I appreciate certain of their arguments. Likewise, I like to listen to progressive radio to get a sense of where leftist

policies might lead — but now that’s been made unavailable to me.

For those who have never tuned in to his show, Thom Hartmann is a psychothera-pist, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist who has a glob-al grasp on not just politics and economics, but the pushes and pulls that move society. He is an interviewer who shows unfailing courtesy to his guests, no matter how strange their beliefs. Then he leaves it to us to form opinions. Hartmann is also an ordained Coptic priest.

Given FCC laws, or the lack of them, GOP strategists are making a smart move. They lost the last election by a large enough margin to call for a revised game plan. Since vot-ing trends ride tides of public

opinion, the GOP is directing its planners to paint the party’s agenda in more friendly col-ors. I expect that its strategists are doing whatever it takes to mute voices that poke holes in certain conservative argu-ments. Silencing Hartmann would help.

The GOP’s backroom boys found Mitt Romney licking his wounds. “Sure,’ he said. ‘What can I do?” Coincidentally, Romney’s firm, Bain Capital, owned Clear Channel, the nation’s most potent radio empire. Coincidentally, that empire moved to silence pro-gressive programming across the map.

The GOP doesn’t like to lose. They had thought they had a full quiver, leaving little to chance. They were sure that gerrymandering of vot-

ing districts, purging rolls of qualified voters, shorting Democratic districts of voting machines, losing ballots, scare tactics, throwing millions from the Republican National Committee’s war chest at touchy local elections and, if necessary, backup from the Supreme Court, would win the day. But they lost, big time.

What took them down was that voters believed that Obama was the better choice. It is as simple as that, a matter of what voters believed. That being the case, the GOP’s mission is to make the pub-lic believe otherwise. Thom Hartmann and friends are in the way.

Each school provides a state accred-ited comprehensive high school education. Teachers and counselors, using the guidelines mentioned above, are better addressing each individual student’s needs. Accountability to student learning is at an all time high and dis-trict on time graduation rates have grown to over 70 percent.

The time is upon us for our next group of eighth grade students to choose what they

want their high school to offer them. If you have one of these students, I urge you to engage in learning about the schools, and making an informed decision. In Marysville, even though we are a large school system, your student will get the individual and focused help they need as they navigate high school. The system is designed for them, not the other way around. For information on scheduled dates for the upcoming high school informa-tion fairs go to www.msvl.k12.wa.us.

to master to be successful at the next level of learning.

PLCs use a number of structured protocols to do their work. These protocols create a level of accountability within a team as well as between teams and their building prin-cipals. Protocols may include team norms (commitments team members make to one another about their meetings). They may also include the examination of student work or to reflect on a teacher’s pedagogy. Protocols can facilitate data analysis, allow teachers to track student progress over time, or provide communication and accountability with other colleagues and supervisors.

How do PLCs know if students are learn-ing? PLCs use formative assessments to inform them on how their students are doing. Formative assessments are those assessments given to all students in a given grade or subject area to measure learning on specific

learning targets. The research tells us the practice of PLCs using formative assessments leads both to higher levels of student achieve-ment as well as provide for teacher profes-sional development. “A focus on the use of formative assessments in support of learning, developed through teacher learning commu-nities, promises not only the largest potential gains in student achievement, but also pro-vides a model for teacher professional devel-opment that can be implemented effectively at scale (William & Thompson 2007).

PLCs in the Arlington School District have transformed how we work together. They have created a common language among educators about our core work, ensuring all students are learning at high levels, while providing a venue for teachers to learn from one another and improve their professional practice.

Your volunteer group or orga-nization agrees to remove litter from an agreed-upon area at least four times a year over a two-year period. We provide the safety vests, hard hats and trash bags, and put up perma-nent signs recognizing your group as the sponsors. Visit

City Public Works and Parks maintenance workers do an outstanding job sweeping streets, mowing grass main-taining city properties, alleys and streets, removing graffiti, plantings flowers and other beautification features. But a more attractive and livable

city takes everyone pitching in together — citizens, business owners, civic groups, churches and others.

At the end of the day, these good works will contribute to our broader initiative to create a safer, more attractive and inviting downtown to live or play, keep our momentum going on downtown revitaliza-tion, and improve the city’s business climate. The impres-sion we make today could be the one that catches the eye of prospective employers looking for a new place to relocate or call home.

ARLINGTON — With its online fundraising campaign wrapping up at the end of the month, the “Save the Olympic Theatre” campaign is already exploring other options to bridge the fund-ing gap for the 73-year-old movie theater in Arlington.

William Frankhouser manages the online promo-tions for Norma Pappas, owner and operator of the Olympic Theatre in Arlington, and he’s set up a website, a Facebook page, an email contact and a phone number for community members to learn more or get in touch with the orga-nizers of the campaign to save the theater.

“Right now, what we’re looking to do is find a digital projector that we can rent, on the low end of pricing, so that we can extend our fund-raising deadline for the pro-jector that we would eventu-ally purchase,” Frankhouser said. “The problem is that the number of film copies of the movies that studios are releasing anymore is going down, which means that multiple remaining film the-aters are vying for fewer film copies, and an ever-increas-ing number of movies are being released digital-only, and not on film at all.”

In the meantime, the Olympic Theatre has started

selling “Save the Olympic Theatre” stickers for $5 each, as well as setting out a col-lection bucket during show-ings.

“Every little thing helps,” Frankhouser said. “Norma said she set that bucket out one night and got $70. We’re even looking into printing ‘Save the Olympic Theatre’ T-shirts, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet. The point is, we’re looking into all sorts of avenues.”

As of Feb. 7, the online fundraising campaign on www.indiegogo.com/savethe-olympictheatre had raised $2,472 online, not counting sticker sales and donations made at the Olympic Theatre itself, but with a deadline of Feb. 28 for the Indiegogo campaign, Frankhouser is thinking about what could be done with whatever

money is raised even if it doesn’t reach the campaign’s $30,000 goal.

“People have even talked about organizing a char-ity concert for the Olympic Theatre, but the problem there is that it’d take longer than the end of February to put together, so we’re think-ing more of coming up with some smaller events before then,” Frankhouser said. “I’d hate to see this theater close, even if it’s just for a week, but Norma is really feeling the pinch.”

The “Save the Olympic Theatre” campaign has been meeting on an almost weekly basis recently at the Local Scoop restaurant in downtown Arlington, and for more information, you can log onto its Facebook page at www.facebook.com/SaveTheOlympicTheatre.

Marysville invites citizens to give city park a name

MARYSVILLE — Marysville residents are being asked to put on their thinking caps, because if any of them have a gift for names, the city has a park that needs one.

In 2002, the city’s Parks Department acquired six acres of property known as the Doleshel Tree Farm. For sev-eral years, the Doleshel family operated a small Christmas tree farm during the holidays at the property, located on 67th Avenue NE near Kellogg Marsh Elementary.

Over the course of the past three years, volunteers with the Marysville Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other commu-nity members have donated

hundreds of hours to clear-ing, cleaning and adding improvements to the site that will become a passive park when it opens later this year, according to Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is seeking help from com-munity members for name ideas. The Park Board has submitted three names to get the contest going:

n Rita Matheny Park, in recognition of the former Marysville mayor.

n Doleshel Tree Farm Park, recognizing its former use and ownership.

n Don Arndt Park, in rec-ognition of slain police offi-

cer Don Arndt.The deadline for entries

is 5 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15. The Park Board will make its final recommendation to the City Council. The win-ner will be credited in city media for the winning name, and invited to cut the rib-bon with Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring when the park opens later this year.

Suggestions may be emailed to [email protected], voted on at the city’s website at http://marys-villewa.gov or postal-mailed directly to Marysville Parks and Recreation, 6915 Armar Rd., Marysville, WA 98270. For more information, con-tact Marysville Parks and Recreation at 360-363-8400.


MARYSVILLE — Barely a year after opening Marysville Tobacco Joes in 2011, Michael Thorn closed the store’s doors last summer, but with the New Year came a new bid to make a go at his business, as Marysville Tobacco Joes reopened at its old location, at 450 State Ave. and 1508 Fifth St., on Jan. 28 of this year.

“We tried to cater to the roll-your-own crowd, but legislation and litiga-tion tied up the usage of the machines,” Thorn said. “We’re still hoping we can be grandfathered in, because our business was already using the roll-your-own machine when those laws were passed, and the federal government can’t take your property without due process, so that should allow the roll-your-own tobacco stores that were preexisting to haul their machines back out of stor-age.”

In the meantime, Thorn has branched out into offering custom glass and bamboo pipes, as well as

vaporizers and electronic cigarettes, the latter of which he’s already antici-pating will be one of his store’s biggest sellers.

“We’ve had a lot of inqui-ries about the e-cigarettes,” Thorn said. “We’ve also talked about getting tobac-co leaves to sell people, but we want to finish our dehumidifier before that. We’ll be carrying a lot of consignment and novelty items that you can’t just get at any chain. We’ve also applied for our beer and wine license, but we’re not ready to start selling those just quite yet.”

Thorn took advantage of his store’s downtime to remodel and expand its interior by an additional 500 square feet, and he reassured his former cus-tomers from before the store’s closure last year that Marysville Tobacco Joes will continue to carry roll-your-own supplies such as tobacco and paper, but without the machine to make the roll-your-own process more convenient for them.

“We’ve still got that machine, just sitting

around,” Thorn said. “We just can’t use it now. The law put us in a tight spot. It’s an extremely unfair hardship. E-cigarettes are the biggest move the tobacco indus-try has made since then, so we’re obviously hoping that the FDA will rule that they’re less dangerous than smoking.”

Marysville Tobacco Joes is now open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. For more information, call 360-454-0603 or log onto www.joessmokes.com.


ARLINGTON — Arlington locksmith Anna Fouts is content to work out of her “office on wheels” — the Ford Escape that currently contains all of her equipment — because she believes that the most important part of her trade is simply lending a hand to others, as her mentor in the field did for her when she got started more than half a dozen years ago.

Still, Fouts’ lack of resources has forced her to send potential customers elsewhere, so she was grati-fied to be able to expand her service capacity on Feb. 4, when she received a shipment of roughly $5,000 worth of locksmith-ing equipment from Intuit’s “Small Business Big Wishes” campaign, which select-ed her as one of their 15 recipients as of December of 2012.

“I’ve had to turn away an average of 10 custom-ers a week, just on car keys alone,” said Fouts, whose new tools will include two separate key cutters, one for code keys and another for

high-security keys. “To be honest, if it hadn’t been for this gift, I probably would have had to quit doing this job in January.”

Fouts’ interest in lock-smithing was initially inspired by the number of times she locked her-self out of her home and office, and wound up calling on the services of 40-year Arlington locksmith Wayne Barber, who then agreed to teach her his trade when he learned that he had lung cancer. Fouts still uses the locksmithing tools she inherited from Barber, who passed away in 2007, and she still measures her own conduct against that of her altruistic mentor in their shared profession.

“I absolutely love to help people in need,” said Fouts, whose 24-hour emergency service calls send her to neighborhoods and backroads throughout

Arlington, Marysville and even Stanwood. “I get a lot of elderly folks who have locked themselves out of their houses or cars. A lot of the people I help out are living on fixed incomes, so they’re especially in need of my skills at an afford-able price. Wayne gave me the opportunity of a life-time when he got me into this job, so I do whatever I can to make sure the good that comes around goes around.”

“Anna’s Lock and Key” can be reached by phone at 425-418-8332 or via email at [email protected]. Her website at www.annaslockandkey.com includes not only her con-tact information, but also do-it-yourself solutions for people to solve a number of common lock and key prob-lems on their own, as well as a list of Fouts’ favorite fellow local locksmiths.

MARYSVILLE — Alexis Wilson is a senior at Marysville Getchell High School and a three-sport athlete who just finished up her season as captain of the Lady Chargers varsity bas-ketball team and is looking forward to track and field this spring.

Known as Lexy to her friends and teammates, Wilson showed incred-

ible leadership and athletic progress during her final year playing high school basketball.

“She is the one that will push through tired-ness or soreness and just keep going,” said her coach Shannon Grandbois. “She is constantly asking for ways to improve. She never stopped wanting to learn. She just kept asking, ‘How can I improve? How can I get better?’”

Wilson began playing bas-

ketball in second grade and continued to play through middle school.

“I was always tall for my age and people would ask, ‘Do you play basket-ball?’” said Wilson. “My dad played too so he helped me get started.”

Wilson took time away from the sport during her freshman and sophomore years, and focused instead on playing soccer. That was until one of her gym teach-ers inspired her to go back.

“I started to play basket-ball for MG as a junior,” she said. “At first the big-gest struggle was the men-tal toughness. You couldn’t just hang your head when you made a mistake. That was hard for me because I’m usually pretty tough on myself, especially with sports. But you just have to play through it.”

Although mental tough-ness was one of her first challenges playing for the Chargers, it became one of her greatest characteristics.

“I think that’s where I grew the most. We went to Western [Washington University] for basket-ball camp this summer and played for 12 hours straight,” said Wilson. “It was tough but when we were done I knew I loved the game. I’m only 5-foot-10 but I was ready to go out there and show those 6-foot-tall girls that I could play too.”

And she did. Wilson was chosen to be the captain of the team and her tenac-ity and eagerness to play

proved to be an inspiration to younger players.

“I’ve always been a posi-tive person and I always wanted to play,” she said. “I’d go to my coach and ask her to tell me what to work on.”

“She made huge improve-ments in strength and court ability,” said Grandbois. “She was a part-time JV player her first year and went from that to being a full-time varsity starter all year. She was pivotal on the court. She was one of the foundations that we built the program around. They saw that work ethic and the other girls would rise to that level as well.”

The Lady Chargers played their final game against Oak Harbor at home on Wednesday, Jan. 30.

“The last game of the season the entire team played phenomenally,” said Grandbois.

It was tough for Wilson, who felt that the team had become a second family to her.

“That was one of the hardest nights to deal with,” she said. “It’s hard to know I won’t be able to play with them again.”

Although her physical presence will be gone from the team, she leaves a legacy behind.

“It’s only our second year building the program,” said Wilson. “I was always tell-ing them that we are young and we are going to be a

Alexis Wilson just finished her senior season as captain of the Lady Chargers basketball team at Marysville Getchell High School.

MARYSVILLE — Athletes from three local high school bowling teams are gearing up for the WSBPA High School Varsity Championships on Feb. 16-17, at Acme Bowl in Tukwila, Wash.

The Marysville Arts and Technology first team, the Lakewood High School bowling team and two singles competitors from Marysville-Pilchuck High School have qualified for the championship event.

Bryson Parker, a Marysville-Pilchuck singles bowler, is in fourth place in Division A with a 197 aver-age, while teammate Matt Altoff is in ninth place in Division B with a 154 aver-age.

For Arts and Tech, the team consists of Jered James, Baylie Self, Joel

Scott, Chance Mair and Kylee Heath, and one alter-nate in case of injuries, Gary Dunham. The team average is 729.

Lakewood competitors are Ellen Dowell, Garrett Browning, Spencer Valley, Ryan Zaffarano, Charles Davis and Kimberly Pitts, with a team average of 715.

Parker, Mair and Self were three of the five mem-bers on the winning team for the Snohomish County All-Stars High School Tournament in December.

“Strawberry Lanes has graciously let both Lakewood and Arts and Tech keep practicing for the upcoming tournament,” said Christine Mair, Chance Mair’s mother. “We are all very grateful to them for their generosity.”

MARYSVILLE — As bas-ketball season comes to an end, Marysville-Pilchuck captain Nick Henry is looking back on the years he spent playing for the Tomahawks.

Henry has been playing competitive basketball since sixth grade, first starting out in recreational leagues and then AU teams. He played for the Tomahawks C team his freshman year and spent his sophomore year at the

junior varsity level. He moved up to varsity for his last two seasons.

“At first I’d say I struggled with the pressure of being a point guard,” said Henry, of what obstacles he’s over-come in his basketball career. “That and shooting, I think shooting is a strug-gle for everyone at first.”

But Henry never let the pressure of the game stop him from doing his best, and in the last few years, leading other players to do their best as well.

“I think I’ve grown the most in my attitude,” he said. “Even when things are going wrong I can grow and be positive.”

M-P’s head basketball coach Bary Gould thinks of Henry as a leader for the team.

“Nick is very well liked in our program amongst all of the players,” said Gould. “He leads by example with how hard he works and by getting it done in the class-room and being a leader on campus as well. If there was

ever a player asking how to act in a certain area, we could point to Nick as to how it should be done prop-erly.”

Gould is also proud of how skilled Henry has been as a varsity starter and how he’s improved throughout his basketball career.

“Nick is a defensive stop-per who has had to defend the best guards in our league,” said Gould. “He is a two year starter that improved all four years in

our program. Nick brought the leadership that we needed during practice and games. He is the type of player that does all the little things that make a team go but do not necessarily show up in the paper or in the box scores. He is a consistent ball-handler that gets us into our offenses. He is also, as I said before, our best ‘on-ball’ defender. Nick was constantly forced to guard guys that were quicker and more athletic than he is, but he was somehow able to keep them in front of him. We talk about how defense is desire and he definitely has a deep desire to play at a high level. Nick is our ASB President so he brought a lot of leadership to the table for our program.”

In addition to being stu-dent body president, Henry is also an active member of

the National Honor Society and participates in a lot of community service proj-ects.

“Last year we did a fundraiser for the Special Olympics and we are put-ting together a Bowl-a-thon this year,” he said. “All the money we raise goes to the Cocoon House for homeless kids or kids with a tough life.”

Overall, Henry is a player and a student with passion for everything he does.

“Nick is a pleasure to coach because he pours his heart and soul into the game,” said Gould. “Nick is always at practice with a great work ethic. He is someone I have depended upon heavily the last two years and he has really come through for us. He leaves a legacy of how things should be done with excellence.”

Henry is looking forward to the baseball season start-ing this spring, when he’ll

play for the Tomahawks as well. He is also looking for-ward to attending a four-year university in the fall but hasn’t settled on which one.

“I’m going to a four-year but I’m still decid-ing between Arizona State University and [Washington State University],” said Henry. “I’m hoping to study mechanical engineering.”

Henry is thankful for the coaching staff he’s had throughout the years, espe-cially at the varsity level.

“I enjoyed the season whether we won or lost,” he said. “I had fun with my team and my coaches. Our varsity coach, Bary Gould, is a great coach,” he said. “We have an assistant coach, Todd Bevan, who is so inspi-rational. He is always posi-tive.”

His coaches are proud of his sportsmanship and believe it will translate well into his life after high school.

“I wish Nick nothing but

the best,” said Gould. “He has learned a lot through the adversity we have fought through together the last few years. He will be stronger for it and will be successful in anything he puts his mind to do. My wish for him is that he continues to find the joy in the process of life. The joy that comes from rela-tionships, friendships, and struggling through things to be better on the other side. My wish for Nick is that he seeks to find out that the definition of success is in knowing he gave his best in everything.

really great team someday.”Grandbois agrees and is

proud of Wilson’s attitude in the face of a tough season record this year.

“She always has a smile on her face and she is always happy,” she said. “You need to have that person on the team — it’s important because there are always going to be trials and tribu-lations.”

Wilson graduates this year and although she has not yet decided which uni-versity she will attend in the fall, she does know what she wants to in the future.

“I really want to major in early childhood education

and become a first or second grade teacher,” said Wilson, who volunteers as a read-ing buddy at Kellogg Marsh Elementary and is involved in her church’s worship team. Although her talents at leading and inspiring as an athlete will help her in the classroom, she isn’t tak-ing all the credit.

“I would like to say that I am so lucky to have played for such a great coach,” said Wilson. “She always pushed us and believed in us.”

Grandbois hopes for the best for Wilson’s future.

“She is such a fun person, she is great with kids,” she said. “I think that no matter what she chooses to do in the future, she will be very successful.”

ARLINGTON — The Department of Fish and Wildlife’s reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter of four bald eagles, found dead east of Granite Falls on Jan. 9, now totals $20,250.

Fish and Wildlife

Sgt. Jennifer Maurstad explained that the Campbell Group Timber Company contributed $6,500 to the reward, after the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians had already donat-ed $10,000 to the original reward amount of $3,750 raised by not only her own department, but also the Humane Society and Conservation Northwest.

“Unfortunately, we don’t really have any new information at this time,” Maurstad said. “We are still confident that some-one knows something, or saw something, so no matter how insignificant they might think it is, we’d appreciate any informa-tion, and we’re asking them to do the right thing and report it.”

In addition to being a misdemeanor under federal law, killing an eagle is also a state crime, with a maxi-

mum penalty of $1,000 and 90 days in jail, as well as a $2,000 fine per eagle.

To report any informa-

tion related to the deaths of these eagles, call 1-877-933-9847 or email [email protected].

STANWOOD — Safe Harbor Free Clinic, a state-of-the-art medical facility providing qual-ity health care and referral services to uninsured and under-insured patients in Arlington and Marysville, is scheduled to conduct its third annual pancake

breakfast and silent auction on Saturday, Feb. 23, at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Stanwood, with the goal of raising nearly $10,000.

“This is a chance for our community to come together and eat good food, bid on great gift items at our silent auction, and

enjoy locally made baked goods, all while support-ing Safe Harbor,” said Julie Vess, executive director at Safe Harbor.

Safe Harbor relies heavily on this pancake fundraiser to raise money for life-sav-ing medical programs and services for patients who

are underinsured. In addi-tion to financial contribu-tions, an anonymous donor has offered a $5,000 match-ing grant at the pancake breakfast.

Artist Jack Gunter is donating an original paint-ing called “Victoria Straits” for the silent auction.

Among the other silent auction gifts to be made available are a $500 gift certificate for the Harman Eye Clinic in Arlington, restaurant and hotel pack-ages, and assorted gift bas-kets. There will also be gift certificates available for acupuncture, massage and

dental services. The pancake breakfast is

slated to run from 8 a.m. to noon, in conjunction with the Port Susan Snow Goose & Birding Festival.

The first 350 guests at the pancake breakfast will receive coupons to Cabela’s.

Wright appointed to steering committee

TULALIP — If you can volunteer to check in or cheer on walkers, or pass out food, you can help people living with multiple sclerosis on Saturday, April 13, when the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Northwest Chapter, conducts its annual Walk MS in Snohomish County.

The Chapter is looking for volunteers — individuals and groups alike — for the event, which begins at 9 a.m. at the Tulalip Amphitheatre, located at 10400 Quil Ceda Blvd. in Tulalip.

Funds raised by this year’s Walk MS will support direct services for the more than

12,000 people living with MS — as well as their families — in Alaska, Montana, and Western and Central Washington. Proceeds also fund national MS research, to find new treatments and a cure for this chronic disease of the central nervous system.

For more information or to volunteer for Walk MS 2013, contact Volunteer Coordinator Cara Chamberlin of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Northwest Chapter, by phone at 800-344-4867 — press 2, then dial 40205 — or via email at [email protected]. You can also log onto www.walkM-Snorthwest.org.

Mac is one smart cookie. He loves tossing his big red ball back and forth like he's playing soccer with his family members & could do it for hours. He loves other dogs and needs to go to a home with dogs. He knows sit and shake, but sometimes get distracted & gets focused on one thing at a time, like when he's playing soccer. Mac would do well w/any family as he likes cats too.

Hello, I'm Nugget. I've recently had some medical attention. I had a non-cancerous cyst removed from my back & once the hair grows back, you won't be able to see a thing. I also had a dental cleaning while here. My foster family says I am very mellow & I purr up a storm while being petted. I am shy in new situations so I will need a quiet household at first.

ARLINGTON — Three Arlington public schools were placed in lockdown on Tuesday, Feb. 5, while Arlington Police searched for a suspect in an assault with a weapon.

Arlington Police were dis-patched to the 1100 block of E. Fifth Street at approxi-mately 12:15 p.m. on Feb. 5 for a reported assault with a weapon. The victim reported that he was being assaulted by a man who had also threat-

ened him with a shotgun before fleeing the scene. The suspect was arrested shortly thereafter in the 1200 block of E. Fifth Street.

Post Middle School, Eagle Creek Elementary School and the Stillaguamish Valley School were all placed in lockdown during this inci-dent as a precaution. The lockdown was in place for approximately 20 minutes.

The victim, a 34-year-old Arlington man, was treated

and released at the scene by medics from the Arlington Fire Department.

The Arlington Police Department has recovered the shotgun and placed it in the department’s evi-dence room, and is con-ducting additional inves-tigation on the suspect, a 35-year-old Stanwood man, before forwarding this case to the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office for a charging decision.

“I Can’t Live With theExcruciating Foot and Leg Pain!”

Announcing a new, high tech method for the treatment of Peripheral Neurpothay of the feet, leg or hands...

Don’t let numbness, tingling and pain hold you back from enjoying life.

“Doc, I can’t live with this excrutiaing foot and leg pain!”.

When you hear this from a patient it gets your attention. Typically, I get the worst of the worst pain patients but when I recently heard this exclamation, my attention was particularly peaked. Let’s call this patient Ken. Ken is 58 years old with SEVERE neuropathy in his feet. He had been told by his MD that his neuropathy was permanent and was given increasingly strong medicines for his symptoms. His life was literally as he described it, “a living hell.” Clearly he was coming to the end of his rope. The nerves in his legs and feet were damaged and he was in HORRIBLE CONSTANT PAIN.

“I Can’t Sleep at Night”

He complained to me, “I can’t sleep at night because my feet feel like they have a thousand razor blade cuts which prevents me from falling asleep every night”.

During the day, most neuropathy patients can hardly walk as every step sends shooting pain like lightening from the feet. Ken had numbness in his feet and couldn’t feel his feet very well and was developing progressive balance problems. He was worried he might fall and injure himself.

He told me he could not go on living with this constant, debilitating pain that had made every day increasingly dif� cult, to the point where he had to retire from his teaching job!

I Had to Help This Man

I recently was fortunate enough to discover a new non-invasive and non-drug treatment for severe and constant foot, leg and arm pain caused by neuropathy. I learned about a new type of non-surgical and painless treatment that was working wonders with severe, constant chronic pain. Including pain caused by neuropathy.

It had the ability to quickly increase circulation to an area (much needed in a neuropathy patient). It could reduce and/or eliminate pain in as little as a few treatments and was changing the lives of patients with severe debilitating pain in of� ces across the nation.

Based on the information about this new type of technology and because of the almost immediate type of pain relief, I had to have this technology in my facility no matter what the cost.

I invested in and implemented these new treatments and we now offer them to neuropathy patients.

I traveled to another state and enrolled in extensive training. My staff and I witnessed some amazing reductions and eliminations of some of the worst pain syndromes I had ever seen...and it was FAST! After just a few treatments on patients with extreme and chronic pain of the worst kind, including neuropathy of the feet, legs and hands, we had patients telling us how their pain levels had decreased and they were shocked. Some of them had their pain even alleviated after only a few treatments.

We Were Able to Reduce or Even Eliminate Neuropathy Pain of the Worst Kind

Using the latest and most recent technologies,

I now offer a non-invasive, non-surgical and painless neuropathy pain treatment. I help patients reduce or even eliminate their neuropathy pain using nutritional therapies, deep tissue super-pulsed cold laser treatments, combined with speci� c non-surgical, non-invasive spine decompression therapy aimed at reducing or eliminating pressure on nerves exiting the spine that control foot and hand function.

So, Just How Can You See if Dr. Peseau’s NEUROPATHY PAIN RELIEF TREATMENT Will Help YOU to Reduce or

Eliminate Your Foot, Leg or Hand Pain?

“My feet either felt painfully encased in ice or they felt like there were a thousand razor blade cuts on the top of each foot. I was diagnosed with severe diabetic neuropathy by a specialist who told me there was nothing that could be done! Then, I met Dr. Peseau, and began his program and after 4 treatments my foot pain suddenly stopped!”

~ Patient K.T., Age 58

“I was miserable standing for any length of time or sitting. I could not sleep and had constant leg pain and weakness in the leg and foot. Actually, I was thinking I was crazy! Now, after starting Dr. Peseau’s Neuropathy Program, I am sleeping at night, can go shopping without excruciating pain, my posture in much better and I mentally feel much better. My results are UNBELIEVABLE! After 1 1/2 years of ping pong between specialists only to be told they could do nothing for me, now I have renewed hope and have seen bene� ts after only 10 visits of treatment. I wish I would have done this sooner! I learned more about my back pain and spine in two visits with Dr. Peseau than in a year with other medical professionals. I feel they truly listen and care. ”

~ Patient A.S., Female, Age 54
