MARYSVILLE — The Cedarcrest Middle School cafeteria has remained as much of a packed house as ever for the annual city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Department’s ninth annual Father/Daughter Dances, which have booked a near-record total of 840 for the Saturday evenings of Feb. 1 and 8, with two separate dances slated for each night, as always.
Clear Image Photography of Marysville again pro-vided portraits of the dads and daughters dressed in their finest on the eve of Valentine’s Day, while Seattle
DJ Canon Snyder took pride in having provided the music and taught the dance moves for all nine years of the Father/Daughter Dances.
“We love to find ways to support local communities, and this community gets so into this event,” said Snyder, who arrived with his wife. “We can take care of people while enjoying ourselves at the same time. It took a few years for us to convince the dads they could learn the dances we were teaching without them looking dorky, but they’ve gotten into it.”
“The John Travolta is fun, because it gets you loose,” said Jeff Miller, referring to

TULALIP — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring’s State of the City address for 2014 on Friday, Jan. 31, sounded a cautiously optimistic note for the year to come, as he acknowledged the city’s partners and cited the city’s investments in the community.
Nehring opened by thanking not only city officials and staff, but also repre-sentatives of the Tulalip Tribes and the cities of Arlington, Everett and Lake Stevens, as well as Snohomish County,
the local Chambers of Commerce, and other business and economic groups.
Nehring likewise cited what he deemed as evidence of the city’s com-mitments to its own taxpayers, from the three years that the city has held off on rebuilding funding for core govern-ment services until the economy had improved, to the city’s current plans to invest in public safety, streets and roads, parks, neighborhoods, the downtown, and job creation and retention.

Snyder’s line-dance set to the tune of “Staying Alive.” The Marysville dad donned a Seattle Seahawks jersey to join his daughter Ava for their second year at the Father/Daughter Dances on Feb. 1, and echoed many other fathers in praising the city of Marysville for pro-viding an opportunity for them to spend some time with their daughters.
“It’s really great that the city can put this together,” agreed Michael Edwards, who has accompanied his daughter Brianna, now 11, to five years of the Father/Daughter Dances. “It can be really hard to find daddy/daughter time during busy work weeks, so just having this time together means a lot.”
Doug Cannon estimated that he’s attended at least half a dozen years, while his 12-year-old daughter Makenna teasingly chided him for the one year that he waited until too late to
purchase their tickets.“I made sure not to make
that mistake again,” Doug Cannon laughed. “We love getting some dinner and then coming here to make memories that we’ll be able to share.”
Maryke Burgess and Andrea Kingsford, of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department, explained that the first dance on Feb. 1 had already sold out within the first 10 days of registration, while three of the four dances were sold out within three weeks of going on sale, and the last dance on Feb. 8 sold out in January.
“There were wait-lists of up to 20 people for all of the dances, but we were able to get some of the participants off the wait-list by starting the 5:30 p.m. sessions early with the photographer,” Kingsford said. “For those families who still want a father/daughter experience for this year, we encour-age them to check out our friends at Everett Parks and Recreation, who still have
openings for their father/daughter dances.”
Kingsford and Burgess praised not only Snyder and Clear Image Photography, but also Bob’s Burgers & Brew, Golden Corral, HomeStreet Bank, the Marysville Kiwanis Club and, new to the event this year, The Cottages at Marysville, for their role in helping keep the price of admission for the dances relatively low over the years.
“We’re also proud of what this event has done for the community in general,” Burgess said. “Over these two weekends, we know that many businesses expe-rience some economic ben-efits, as girls buy dresses, floral shops make more cor-sages, restaurants see lots of daddy/daughter groups eat-
ing out, and salons do hair and nails for lots of custom-ers. More importantly, we love that people can create lasting memories together.”
Burgess reported that a number of the high school volunteers, who helped check the guests’ coats, told her that they also attended the dances with their dads when they were younger.
“We have girls who are now mothers, coming to the dances with their own daughters,” Burgess said. “It’s come full circle.”
Kingsford agreed with Burgess that the dances have become an event that fathers and daughters look forward to all year long, as she relayed her own anec-dote about how much an evening out can mean to some families.
“One dad called to regis-ter, and explained that their family friends had recently gone through a divorce, and that family’s father had since moved out of state,” Kingsford said. “The local dad knew how much this dance meant to his daugh-ter’s friend, so he brought both girls to carry on the tradition.”
Looking ahead, while the city of Marysville is still working out how to accommodate the numer-ous requests it’s received for a similar mother/son type of activity, in the meantime, Parks and Recreation is inviting the community to its first “Princess and Pirate Breakfast Bowl” from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, March 2, at the Strawberry Lanes, during which families can dress up, compete in cos-tume contests, create crafts, and enjoy both breakfast and bowling. Admission is $15 per person and pre-registration is required. For information or to register online, please visit “Parks & Rec ePlay” at http://marys-villewa.gov, or call the Parks and Recreation Offices at 360-363-8400.

LAKEWOOD — Although Elwood Barker wasn’t born in north Snohomish County, he’s lived literal lifetimes longer in the area than many people who were born here.
On Feb. 17, Barker will turn 90 years old — a leap year and his father’s faulty math meant that his birth-day was incorrectly recorded as Feb. 15 — and the for-mer North Dakota native has spent nearly seven full decades in the local region, moving here after his two-year tour of duty through Europe in the Army during World War II.
“I didn’t know how to swim, so I joined the infan-try,” said Barker, who served as a front-line wireman. “I
missed D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, but a German sub torpedoed the ship tak-ing us from Massachusetts to France in January of 1945.”
Barker nonetheless served in the 3rd Army under Gen. George Patton, and took pride in the fact that the Germans surrendered to the Americans rather than the Russians.
After returning stateside in 1946 and enrolling in college to study accounting, Baker began working for Weyerhaeuser and Railway Express in 1949, the same year that he met his future wife Marilyn, whom he married on June 11.
“My sister went to high school here, so I asked her to introduce me to Marilyn, who was a senior at Everett High School,” Barker said.
Barker’s two jobs came to an end in 1951, but his farming background came in handy when he began working at Van Soest Dairy in Snohomish later that year.
By 1957, the Barkers had moved to their current loca-tion, just southwest of the intersection on I-5 and State Route 530, and Elwood was again working two jobs, driving a school bus for the Lakewood School District during the day and pulling night-shifts at the Thunderbird Drive-In.
“By 1965, I was half-own-er of the Quil Ceda Feed and Mini-Mart,” Barker said. “By 1967, I’d started building houses. I’d built 39 homes by 1969.”
Baker helped build 38 more homes in Oak Harbor
from 1969-73, and contin-ued building and remodel-ing homes until he himself turned 73 years old.
“From 1940 to 1997, that’s 57 years of work,” Barker said. “I averaged about 60 hours a week.”
Barker is just as proud of another set of numbers — four children, 10 grandchil-dren and 16 great-grand-children.
In the 68 years that he’s lived in the area, one of the biggest changes he’s seen has been the winnowing of smaller farmers.
“They’ve been replaced
by bigger farms, or sold their land to developers,” Barker said.
Barker is acutely aware of the growth in the Lakewood School District since then, given that he served on the Lakewood School Board from 1973-79.
“How did I get to my 90s?” Barker asked rhetori-cally. “I always knew I had to work hard. I married a woman who was a good cook, because good food goes a long way. And I real-ly enjoyed building homes, because I got to see some-thing from start to finish.”

Several years ago a phrase was coined that it takes a village to raise a child. That short
group of words is more important today than ever before. I have, and continue to believe that every child deserves the best education that we can offer. However, many of our children come to school tired and hungry or sick and in need of basic health care. Many students within our own community are homeless or do not have a safe environment in which to live.
How can we expect these chil-dren to be successful in the class-room when academic performance is the last thought on their minds? Schools and community partners must work together to improve the quality of life for these children before they truly can succeed. It is
about each of us taking an active role in changing the culture of Marysville. We can and we must seek out and develop programs to assist our neediest of children if we are to become a community of one.
Our public schools provide an incredible amount of social and academic services for our children, but we cannot do this alone. Public schools are the cultural center of every community and research con-tinues to prove that students achieve
at greater success when the commu-nity is engaged in the conversations around improving performance.
In January of 2013, your Board of Directors developed a long-range plan to listen and engage our com-munity in the future development for Marysville Schools. We began with over 30 community meetings seeking input and feedback on the characteristics needed in a new superintendent. Using what we learned from community leaders, parents, staff and most importantly, students, the board embarked upon a journey to find a person that met the needs and wishes of the Marysville/Tulalip communities. We invited over 40 individuals to inter-view and evaluate our final candi-

I recently had the opportu-nity to present the 2014 State of the City address to business and community leaders, shar-ing an optimistic message that this year citizens can expect to see significant investments back into our community after guiding our financial resources responsibly through a challeng-ing economic period.
Citizens with cable TV ser-vice can currently watch a video presentation of the address on Marysville Community Cable Channel 21 (Comcast) or Channel 25 (Frontier) daily at noon, 4 p.m., 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. You can also view it on the city website starting Feb. 10.
In last month’s column, I wrote about investments on tap this year that will raise our quality of life and build toward the future, through more innovative means and a continued disciplined operating philosophy. Investing back into our community is about put-ting our resources where they can do the most good; in other words, public safety, streets and roads, parks, neighborhoods, downtown, and job creation and retention.
In this column, I want to take a look back at 2013, to review some of the successes accomplished by the city of Marysville, thanks to a solid working relationship between the City Council, department directors and dedicated staff, and our indispensable partner-ships with citizens, business owners, neighboring govern-ments and regional organiza-tions.
The city of Marysville made significant headway in re-
building funding for some core government services put on hold while we waited for the economy to improve. We have accomplished much.
All roads begin — and end — with the city budget. At the end of 2013, the City Council adopted a $139 million budget for 2014 that includes a $42.1 million General Fund budget for funding basic public ser-vices. It’s worth sharing with taxpayers that our departments under-spent their budgets by a $1.5 million.
Public SafetyPublic safety is a very high
priority in Marysville. The men and women of the Marysville Police Department provide “service with honor,” and they remain committed to providing outstanding service in part-nership with the community to enhance our city’s safety, growth and livability.
Among highlights:n Police carried out a series
of commander, lieutenant and sergeant promotions in 2013 which, combined with new hires, reinforces the value we place on public safety.
n Police and other city departments took sev-eral steps to more vigorously address quality of life issues in Marysville that included
A look back at our accomplishments in 2013
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is the law that
ensures schools provide services to children with disabilities. In Washington State, IDEA and state special education law governs how local districts and other public agencies provide early inter-vention, special education and related services to students from birth through to age 21. Special Education is defined as: “specially designed instruction, at no cost to parents, to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability.”
Students become eligible for spe-cial education following an educa-tional assessment that documents a disability and a need for special education services. Special educa-tion is in place to provide addi-tional services, support, programs, specialized placements or environ-ments to ensure that all students’ educational needs are provided
for. These services are described in an Individualized Education Program (IEP). IEPs describe the educational program that is indi-vidually planned for each child and monitored through teaching, adapted equipment and materials, accessible settings, and other inter-ventions designed to help learners with special needs achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency and success in school and the com-munity.
Arlington School District’s special education services range from children birth to age three, preschool services for three to
five year olds, and programs for students in kindergarten through age 21. Special education services are different for every student and include supports such as academ-ics, speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, vision, adaptive and social skills.
Services for students qualify-ing for birth to three are provided outside of Arlington Public Schools through birth to three education centers. Parents who are interested in having their child evaluated for services may contact the Special Education Department at 360-618-6215.
The district provides on-site services beginning at age three with the preschool program at Presidents Elementary. The devel-opmental preschool serves children who are demonstrating delays in one or more areas of develop-

Thanks for supporting the Olympic Theatre
In regard to the closure of the Olympic Theatre, I wish to sincerely thank my patrons, staff and many friends of the Olympic Theatre for all of their support and patronage the past 37 years of my ownership and operation of the theater here in Arlington.
In particular, I wish to thank Will Frankhouser for his web services, expertise and creation of Save the Olympic Theatre group, as well as all those in involved in the SOT group. I especially want to note Janelle Wilton and the Sno-King Saddle Up group, to whom I am extremely grate-ful to for all of the group’s extensive efforts in making an amazing movie fundraising event last spring very successful and fun. I also want to thank Andy Anderson for his theater handiwork, and appreciate all the people who volunteered time and effort toward the goal of keeping the theater operating.
I truly thank all those who donated funds toward the now-required digital pro-jection equipment in these difficult eco-nomic and challenging times. Mere words cannot express my gratitude for all the efforts and donations from all involved.
Movies on film format have now ended. With no digital transition, and after 37 years of continuous operation, it is time for me to retire. The recently formed nonprofit group, the Olympic Theatre Foundation, has all of the donated funds and, as I understand, are still seeking a solution. I remain hopeful that soon another dedicat-ed person, or group, will take the Olympic Theatre forward for the community of Arlington into the future in this new era of movie exhibition.

Vote ‘Yes’ on levy proposals
On Tuesday, Feb. 11, the Marysville School District is asking voters to replace the Educational Programs Levy for tax years 2015-18. This levy is not a new levy but replaces the previous levy that will expire this year. This levy is essential to help cover the costs in several areas includ-ing lowering class sizes, transportation, athletics, special education, professional development for staff and school supplies.
The school district is also asking for a new levy for technology that would replace outdated computers in each classroom. The last levy for technology expired in 2005.
After reviewing the information and understanding that supporting our schools is paramount for the future of our children, we encourage all community members to vote “Yes” on both levy proposals.
Thank you for your support of our Marysville children.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR nuisance houses, panhandling and encamp-
ments.n Worked with county and regional enti-
ties on targeting certain crimes that impact us all, such as the Regional Narcotics Task Force and Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force.
n Began planning for a new evidence building to be constructed this year.
n Contributed to neighborhood livabil-ity through expanding our Neighborhood Block Watch program, which has 18 groups plus six new ones.
n Implemented a new Business Watch program to help provide businesses with a way to actively reduce and prevent crime through cooperation and education, work-ing together with police.
n New crime mapping on our website offering residents a unique way to access and analyze interactive maps of recent crime activity near any address.
The Municipal Court stayed very busy in 2013. Judges Fred Gillings and Lorrie Towers, and Court Administrator Suzi Elsner and her staff, and our great team of City Prosecutors kept the wheels of justice turning smoothly.
The Court:n Received 7,920 filings from the three
cities served by the court.n Our judges heard 2,500 arraignments.n Heard more than 3,387 in-custody
cases, 2,051 of them at the Marysville jail. n Handled 293 cases requiring the use of
interpreter services, mainly Spanish.Last year was our first full year provid-
ing domestic violence advocacy services. The Executive Department, Prosecutors Office, Court, Police and Community Development department worked together for seamless integration of these services into the city’s law and justice system. These services assist those in our community who fall victim to this horrible crime.
Fire Chief Greg Corn and his dedi-cated firefighting crews, EMTs and staff are always there for us with the best “first response” resources and emergency ser-vices.
Some highlights from the Fire District:
n Acquired a firefighters staffing grant, or SAFER, that helped the District refill two firefighter positions that had been cut due to the poor economy.
n The Fire District responded to 10,700 calls for service, with EMS calls represent-ing about 80 percent of them.
n The District plans to add two new aid cars to the fleet this year, replacing a couple that now have more than 240,000 miles on them.
Public Works and Community Development
Public Works accomplished a multitude of projects in 2013.
Road improvement projects were high-lighted by:
n Complete overlay of State Avenue from 92nd to 100th Street, and
n Widening of 51st from Grove Street north to 80th by Public Works crews, as well as shoulder improvements to help pedestrians and bicyclists.
In utilities, Public Works maintenance crews spent more than a year installing required infrastructure improvements in the Sunnyside area in order to complete the transfer of water service from Snohomish County PUD to the city. Crews gave it their all, even working through the holidays in December to “turn on the taps” in time to meet our commitment of Dec. 31 to pro-vide Marysville water to 4,000 new custom-ers.
The city also dedicated its new decant facility that will help us process our own waste materials picked up by our street sweepers and vactor trucks, and ultimately eliminate pollution runoff and keep our surface waters clean.
Public Works also took steps to construct the Qwuloolt interpretive trail which take advantage of water recreation and ecotour-ism opportunities embodied along Ebey waterfront and the Tulalip Tribes’ Qwuloolt estuary restoration project.
The Community Development worked at fever pitch to keep up with significant increases in permit and building activity last year. The city issued permits for 173 single-family residential units, a sign that the housing industry sees Marysville as a good market.
Commercial buildings that opened
included Wal-mart, Big Lots, Lakewood Pointe office area, and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Community Development staff also con-tinues to work with an assortment of com-mercial and residential projects.
Parks and RecreationAmong Parks and Recreation
Department highlights, staff did their usual impeccable job of coordinating numerous family-friendly annual events and activities — most of them free — that are appreciated by our community and integral to the qual-ity of life for any community. The Holiday Tour of Lights, Merrysville for the Holidays and Electric Light Parade, Challenge Day, Easter Egg Hunt, Fishing Derby, and sum-mer concerts and movies are just few calen-dar favorites.
Thanks to the many businesses and indi-viduals who provide valuable sponsorship to keep these favorite activities going in Marysville.
Marysville benefits from hard-working and selfless individuals who don’t hesitate to answer the call to volunteer.
With limited tax dollars to do everything we might otherwise wish we could, we depend on volunteers to make our com-munity better.
Total volunteer hours contributed by residents through Serve Day events, Graffiti Paint Outs and other park maintenance, Parks and Recreation youth sports, com-munity center support and program volun-teer events totaled 3,399 hours in 2013.
Nowhere is volunteerism more abundant than during our community Clean Sweep Week code enforcement and neighborhood cleanup. This event in April is a highly suc-cessful partnership between the city, neigh-bors, community volunteers and groups, and businesses, and 2013’s event just in time for spring improved Marysville’s appearance by addressing code enforce-ment issues, painting over graffiti, land-scaping and other improvements.
To Marysville citizens, we look forward to meeting and working with you to do great things in our community in 2014 that we can all be proud of at the end of the day.
Mayor Jon Nehring can be reached at [email protected] or 360-363-8091.

dates using standards developed from the input received. We are most pleased with the outcome and believe that Marysville schools are fortunate to have found a new superintendent that can build upon the strengths of our district and improve the quality of education for all stu-dents.
However, we have just begun what we believe to be a long
lasting engagement with our community. Superintendent Dr. Berg and board members continue to conduct “Coffee and Conversations” through-out our neighborhoods to hear your thoughts about Marysville schools. We would like to hear from you so if you have an opportunity to attend one, please do so.
To help the board develop and plan for the future of your Marysville schools, we will be conducting a commu-nity engagement event entitled
“Dream Big for Kids.” At this event, our goal is to gather feed-back on what you would like the Marysville School District to look like 10 to 15 years from now. Our hope is to develop a strategic vision that will meet the needs of our community today, tomorrow and in the future. We would be most honored if you would join us on Saturday, March 29 for this very impor-tant day. Let’s partner together for the future of our children. For more information about the Superintendent’s Coffee
and Conversation visits or the Dream Big for Kids event, please contact the Marysville School District superintendent’s office at 360-653-0800.

ment including language, cognition, social/emotional, speech and/or motor skills. This program has the primary goal of encourag-ing the development of critical attributes to communicate, listen and follow directions, solve problems, calmly make transitions and be responsible in the classroom setting.
All of our schools provide support for students with disabilities and we house programs for students with more signifi-cant needs at individual school sites. These
include services for students with autism, students with developmental delays, and students with social emotional challenges. Students eligible for special education may receive services until they meet gradua-tion requirements or until age 21 in our Transition Program. This program further prepares the students for their future needs, which may or may not include job skills. The goal of the Transition Program is to connect the students to the community and the services available to them.
Arlington Public Schools is very proud of the level and quality of services we have been able to provide for our students with
special needs. Our staff includes dedi-cated teachers, para-educators, speech and language therapists, physical therapists, teachers of the visually impaired, school psychologists and other specialists. We will continue our commitment to all students and their families and strive to provide these exceptional programs for our students with special needs. We truly believe in our focus on every child, every hour, every day.

The Arlington and Marysville school districts are among those whose schools have received a total of 10 mini-grants for science-related educa-tional projects from the Snohomish County Public Utility District. These grants help schools incor-porate energy and water education into their cur-ricula.
Energy education was the subject for which Donnica Farnsworth, a fifth-grade teacher at Kent Prairie Elementary in Arlington, and Cindy Vetter, a sixth-grade teach-er at Totem Middle School in Marysville, were award-ed grants of $500 each by the PUD.
Both Farnsworth and Vetter will be able to sup-ply their students with kits to build their own solar-powered cars.
In Farnsworth’s class in Arlington, students will test variables to determine
the efficiency of their cars, which should, in turn, help expand their knowledge of electricity, their apprecia-tion for energy conserva-tion and their understand-ing of solar energy’s poten-tial.
“It’s taking what we’ve already done and taking it another step further,” Farnsworth said, noting that this will mark the third year in a row that the PUD has awarded a $500 mini-grant to her classroom, to incorporate energy and water educa-tion into her curriculum. Last year’s grant funded a solar energy classroom kit, which allowed her stu-dents to explore how solar energy can be transferred
and transformed into other forms of energy. “This year’s kits will let them put things together in different ways, by connecting their circuits parallel or in series, and then seeing what those changes in the solar panels yield in terms of output.”
Farnsworth appreciates that such lessons allow students to educate them-selves to an extent.
“I try not to dictate too much,” Farnsworth said. “This allows them to build experiences on their own, and to open their minds to science. It’s about fostering curiosity.”
This month, Farnsworth will be joining teachers from other districts for a “Solar Derby Day,” spon-sored by Bonneville Power, to teach the teachers how to teach their students to build solar cars. Each teacher will receive an additional $700 in supplies, and their students will be able to race their cars at Safeco Field.
In Vetter’s class in Marysville, constructing the cars will serve as the hands-on component of a science enrichment class, focusing on engineer-ing and design, intended
to teach students about alternative energy. It will also include car races that will be broadcast on the school’s TV station.
“Our students are brain-storming with other kids, and then building their own contraptions,” Vetter said. “They’re coming up with their own questions and hypotheses, and then they’re putting them into action. Yes, they have to get procedural approval from me, but they’re the ones carrying out the processes and leaning through trial and error.”
Vetter praised the dura-
bility of the kits, which will allow next year’s stu-dents to conduct their own experiments, and lauded the PUD for its gifts to schools such as hers.
“The PUD wants chil-dren, as future consum-ers, to know more about energy,” Vetter said. “It’s encouraging them to get
involved in environmental issues.”
“This relates to society and real-world experienc-es,” Totem Middle School Principal Tarra Patrick said. “It’s problem-solving on a level that engages them more than just exercises on a computer, or with pencils and paper.”

Jarolene M. EarnheartDecember 26, 1938 — February 1, 2014
Jer i passed away peacefully on February 1, 2014 at the age of 75.
Jeri was a loving a n d c o m p a s s i o n a t e wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, and friend. Born December 26, 1938 to Lendon and Mary Brown in Edgecomb, WA, she grew up working at the family’s restaurant the White Spot Cafe in Arlington, WA where she developed her claim to fame on “how to pick a turkey carcass clean.”
She married Bryce Earnheart on July 16, 1958. Always a stay at home wife and mom, she was more than a mom of three. She was a mom to the entire neighborhood. Growing up was like a giant game of hide and seek, always knowing that when you got home you would be safe because she was there. She taught us all unconditional love. Even if you strayed, with a glance or a gentle touch, you knew that you had been forgiven. She always had unlimited patience while teaching her children, grand-children, and great grandchildren,
be it reading, writing, or just lessons in life.
Jeri is survived by her husband of 55 years, Bryce; sister, Darlene Bickford; three children: daughter, Brenda (Kevin Lewis); sons, Brian (Heather) and Mike (Erin); seven grandchildren: Kyleigh (Kevin); Nathan, Kameron, Megan, Kallen, Drew and Avery.
She was lovingly known as “GG” to her three great grandchi ldren: Madi, Joshua and Brycen.
She was preceded in death by both parents; and two brothers, Mack and Griffin Brown.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Ken Baxter Community Center at 514 Delta in Marysville on Saturday, February 15, 2014 from 2-4 p.m. hosted by her family, light refreshments will be served.

ARLINGTON — Jeff and Becky Phebus brought seven years of experience in the secondhand goods trade to their latest store-front, when they officially opened the Lil’ Thrift store in downtown Arlington on Saturday, Feb. 1, and they want their customers to benefit from their knowl-edge and connections.
“We buy 98 percent of our inventory,” Jeff Phebus said. “We’re continually buying goods, at least once a week. Our goal is to supply folks with both their usual needs and their unusual wants, while keeping the prices for all of our merchandise at thrift store levels.”
The Phebuses have moved into the former location of Fogdog Gallery at 233 N. Olympic Ave., and while their wares range from vin-tage original movie posters and antique newspapers to household items and mov-ies on VHS and DVD, all of their merchandise is artfully displayed on custom-built shelves and immaculate glass tables.
“My wife, that’s her baby,” Jeff said of Becky’s main-tenance of the store space. “She likes to keep it clean, organized and shoppable. You won’t find a cluttered environment here, not in the least because we want our
store to be easily maneuver-able for shoppers with dis-abilities, whether they’re in walkers, wheelchairs or scooters.”
One type of item that Lil’ Thrift tends not to carry as much of, however, is cloth-ing.
“We donate most of the clothes we receive to local families in need,” Jeff Phebus said.
Jeff and Becky’s long and winding road to their cur-rent storefront, right across the street from the Arlington City Hall, began with estate sales, after Jeff had retired from his job as an inter-nal auditor and Becky had retired from her own posi-tion in the courts system.
“We were into storage units before they got hyped up,” Jeff Phebus said. “About three years ago, we moved from Florida to be closer to
our son here in Arlington. We had a successful location in the Arlington Plaza for a couple of years, but eventu-ally we just needed a larger store.”
Lil’ Thrift’s current loca-tion has room enough not only for a big comfy couch in which customers are invited to sit and relax, but also a padded chair next to a shelf for used books that extends nearly to the ceiling.
“This is a family business, and one of the things that we love most is that the people who walk through our doors come from all walks of life,” Jeff Phebus said. “You can stop in, say hello, look at the wall and have a conversa-tion about the poster for the Western movie that Whip Wilson starred in.”
For more information, call the Phebuses at Lil’ Thrift at 360-403-0424.

MARYSVILLE — Greg McCarthy knows the impor-tance of hard-wearing cloth-ing, having worked 35 years in the building industry, in construction and lumber.
“For the past couple of years, though, I’ve been more involved in the textile side of it,” said McCarthy, during the official grand opening of his Button Gear Work Wear store, in Suite A of 9317 State Ave. in Marysville, on Tuesday, Feb. 4. “It had sparked a few ideas, and my wife and daughter and I decided to make a go of this business.”
McCarthy explained that not only does he stock pre-mium brand-name work wear such as Carhartt, but
also more affordable gear that’s no less hard-wearing.
“Carhartt was the big-gest nut to crack, because we obviously had to carry their clothes, but we also wanted to stock products that offered the same quality and craftsmanship at a lower cost,” McCarthy said. “Either way, you’ll be able to get quality non-slip work boots here, with durable safety fea-tures like steel toes.”
McCarthy himself is a big fan of Key apparel, another brand he carries, thanks to his experiences of testing the durability of items such as its double-front pants out in the field.
“Even though we live in Monroe, we shop here in Marysville all the time, which is how we found out that this store space was available,”
McCarthy said. “We’re run-ning this business based on how our local clientele is pushing us. Over the course of the past month, we’ve found that our customers prefer larger sizes, so we’ve tailored our purchases to accommodate them. We’re asking the community to make this their store, by making it more customer-driven.”
Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, who conducted the ribbon-cutting for Button Gear Work Wear on the morning of its official grand opening, touted its uniqueness within the com-munity.
“Supplying this type of work wear fills a need locally,” Nehring said. “I’m excited by the success that they’re going to have here.”

Doctors’ Discovery Helps DiabetesPHILADELPHIA – A team of doctorshas found that a formulation of exoticsounding herbs and spices gives diabeticsnew hope. The formula, called Cinnatrol™promotes healthy blood sugar levels by ef-fectively metabolizing glucose into energy.In a research study, all patients taking justone capful of the liquid (one ounce) daily,dramatically lowered their blood sugar lev-els compared to a placebo group. Anotherscientific study found that an ingredient inCinnatrol™ made insulin 20 times morecapable converting blood sugar to energy. While individual results vary, one pa-tient in the study lowered his blood sugarfrom 220-245 to the 100-130 range in only
28 days, despite being instructed not tochange his dietary habits or physical activ-ity. Some patients, under their doctors care,have been able to reduce or eliminate theirneed for diabetic drugs. Scientists say thatCinnatrol™ actually helps diabetic drugsto work more efficiently. Additional infor-mation is available at www.cinnatrol.com.

MARYSVILLE — Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary’s visit to Marysville on Wednesday, Feb. 5, had a slightly sparser attendance than the community gather-ing in Stanwood on Saturday, Jan. 25, which kicked off his “Coffee with the Sheriff ” series of meet-and-greets, but however many members of the public turn out, Trenary wants to ensure that they have access to their sheriff.
“There were about 50 peo-ple in Stanwood, but I used to be the chief of police there,” Trenary said, while sharing cups of Vinacio Coffee with citizens in Marysville that Wednesday morning. “It also helps to hold these events during the weekends, we’ve found.”
Throughout his career in law enforcement, Trenary has witnessed the value of con-necting with the community, which he’s sought to continue doing as sheriff.
“Law enforcement is retool-ing to be even more commu-nity-oriented,” Trenary said. “Police precincts should be full-service stations and one-stop shops, where citizens can go to get things like weapons
permits without having to go to the courthouse.”
While Trenary doubts he’ll do another series of four “Coffee with the Sheriff ” meetings within two weeks, he’d like to maintain a pace of one a month, so that he can continue to solicit input from community members about how local law enforcement can best serve them.
“What I’m hearing from people is that they want more access, and more services at their precincts instead of just at the courthouses, and increased patrol staffing in their areas,” Trenary said. “They want that connection to the community too.”
Trenary cited the Snohomish County Violent Offender Task Force as an example of how local, county and federal law enforcement have partnered to accomplish the same goals, and touted Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith as a valuable partner in achieving those aims.
“Historically, it used to be the case that we did not do a good job of going after those who committed violent assaults and then absconded to another state,” Trenary said. “But now, we’re able to reach out and bring many of those people back here. It’s
not just the Marysville Police or the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office, but everyone working together.”
“Having the Sheriff ’s Office as a partner has been a force multiplier for our efforts,” said Smith, who joined Trenary at his Marysville meeting. “We’ve been proac-tive in apprehending offend-ers and fugitives, and Ty has done a great job through dif-ficult circumstances.”
Trenary acknowledged that members of the public haven’t hesitated to deliver their criti-cisms of local law enforce-ment to him, from their com-plaints about drug houses in their neighborhoods — “Snohomish County, like many other regions, is going through a heroin epidemic right now,” Trenary said — to voicing their concerns over the number of deaths at the Snohomish County Jail since 2010, which reached nine on Jan. 13.
“We’ve pulled out all the stops at the jail,” said Trenary, who had already been work-ing to improve conditions and medical care at the jail, including placing limits on bookings for arrestees with serious health problems or
mental illness. “We’re cancel-ing all 18 of our contracts with outside agencies to house their inmates. Too often, this jail has been used for those in need of detox or with mental health issues, when that’s not what it’s designed for.”
That being said, Trenary remains neutral on US HealthVest’s plans to estab-
lish a 75-bed psychiatric hospital in Smokey Point, declining any comment until he can further study their proposal, whose Certificate of Need application was recently approved by the state Department of Health.
“What’s most impor-tant for me to do is listen,” Trenary said. “When I started this ‘Coffee with the Sheriff ’
series, I thought I’d mostly be briefing people on what the Sheriff ’s Office has been up to recently, but I’ve been spending more time hearing from individual folks, as they tell their stories and ask for our help. If they’re unhappy with our service, I need to know about it. It’s important that they have access to their sheriff.”

MARYSVILLE — Colton McGuire hopes to help clients of the Marysville Community Food Bank not need to decide between feeding themselves or feed-ing their pets.
The Marysville Arts & Technology High School senior was initially inspired by a story in The New York Times, which reported that elderly people in need were actually eating less them-selves in order to keep feed-ing their pets.
“I wondered if that might be a problem locally,” McGuire said. “I know that pet food can be very expen-sive, because my grand-mother owns many cats.”
With his mission select-ed, McGuire spent two Saturdays at Albertsons this past December, collecting approximately 840 pounds of pet food, which he and his friend Kaliene Kopp began dispensing outside of the Marysville Community Food Bank on Monday, Jan. 27.
“Mondays are the day that the Food Bank sets aside for its senior and disabled cus-tomers,” McGuire said on the following Monday, Feb. 3, as he and Kopp handed over bags and cans of pet food directly from the trunk of their car. “I expect we’ll be here for at least two more Mondays.”
McGuire noted that dog food has been more popu-
lar than cat food so far, but emphasized that he’s got enough for Food Bank cli-ents’ cats as well.
“Cats can eat a lot too,” McGuire said. “I think pet owners might not notice it as much, because they tend to have more of a set feed-ing schedule for their dogs, whereas cat owners are used to their cats snacking from the food bowl throughout the day.”
McGuire and Kopp are parceling out one bag and two cans of food to each pet owner, depending on the number and size of their pets.
“Usually, the Food Bank will divide the bags of pet food up into smaller por-tions, but we want to be able to give each pet owner a whole product,” said McGuire, who praised the Food Bank and its volun-teers for their support.
“We’re always glad to accept more donations of dog and cat food,” Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling said. “When I heard that Colton wanted to hand it out himself, I thought that was super. He’s come out here in a
jacket and tie, dressed to the tees.”
Deierling estimated that roughly around half of the Food Bank’s clients have pets they’re supporting, in addition to themselves.
“People shouldn’t be put in a position of having to choose between feeding their pets or feeding them-selves, or getting rid of their best friends,” Deierling said. “It’s nice that Colton can serve as the conduit for so many people’s generos-ity. Even a small amount of pet food might be enough to help out our folks.”
Deierling characterized McGuire and Kopp as rep-resentative of many local youths as a whole, in terms of their interest in and com-mitment to contributing positively to the Marysville community. He added that the annual Scrub-A-Mutt event has also played a vital part in supplying the Food Bank with pet food.
The Marysville Community Food Bank is located at 4150 88th St. NE. For more information, call 360-658-1054, email [email protected] or log onto http://marysvillefoodbank.org.

TULALIP — The Tulalip Tribes will be one of three American Indian tribes in the nation to exercise special crimi-nal jurisdiction over certain crimes of domestic and dating violence, regardless of the defendant’s Indian or non-Indi-an status, under a pilot project autho-rized by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The two other tribes are the Umatilla in Oregon and the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona.
“The Tulalip Tribes is honored to be among those chosen for the Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction pilot program,” Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. said. “Getting justice for our tribal members, where it con-cerns domestic and intimate partner violence, has been a long time coming. Together, with our fellow tribal nations, we celebrate the fact that the reautho-rized VAWA of 2013 has recognized our inherent legal jurisdiction to bring all perpetrators of domestic violence against our members, on our lands, to justice. We lift our hands to all those who fought for the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, including our own Tulalip Tribes councilwoman, Deborah Parker.”
“The Tulalip Tribes has shown great leadership with a robust and compre-hensive justice system,” U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan said. “This special criminal jurisdiction will translate into better protection for members of the tribal community and their families, and ensure that all offenders are appropri-ately prosecuted and sanctioned in tribal court. I am grateful for the strong lead-ership exercised by the Tulalip Tribes, particularly Chairman Mel Sheldon, Council member Deborah Parker and
Judge Theresa Pouley. We look forward to continuing our important work with the Tulalips Tribes.”
Deborah Parker, vice chair of the Tulalip Tribes, worked alongside Sen. Patty Murray and many others to advo-cate for the new tribal provisions includ-ed in VAWA 2013.
“It’s amazing to be at this time and place and to witness such a critical change in law,” Parker said. “Justice will now be served because we have the nec-essary legal tools to prosecute those who perpetrate against our tribal members on our reservation, regardless of race, religion or affiliation.”
Although the provisions authorizing the special jurisdiction take effect gener-ally in March of 2015, the law also gives the Attorney General discretion to grant a tribe’s request to exercise the jurisdic-tion earlier, through a voluntary pilot project. The authority to approve such requests has been delegated to Associate Attorney General Tony West, who con-gratulated tribal leaders on this historic achievement in letters to their three tribes.
“This is just the latest step forward in this administration’s historic efforts to address the public safety crisis in Indian country,” Attorney General Eric Holder said. “Every day, we’re work-ing hard to strengthen partnerships with tribal leaders and confront shared challenges, particularly when it comes to protecting Indian women and girls from the shocking and unacceptably high rates of violence they too often face. With the important new tools pro-vided by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, these criti-cal pilot projects will facilitate the first
tribal prosecutions of non-Indian perpe-trators in recent times. This represents a significant victory for public safety and the rule of law, and a momentous step forward for tribal sovereignty and self-determination.”
“The old jurisdictional scheme failed to adequately protect the pub-lic, particularly Native women, with too many crimes going unprosecuted and unpunished amidst escalating violence in Indian Country,” West said. “Our actions today mark an historic turn-ing point. We believe that by certifying certain tribes to exercise jurisdiction over these crimes, we will help decrease domestic and dating violence in Indian Country, strengthen tribal capacity to administer justice and control crime, and ensure that perpetrators of sexual violence are held accountable for their criminal behavior.”
Since the Supreme Court’s 1978 opin-ion in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, tribes have been prohibited from exercising criminal jurisdiction over non-Indian defendants. This included domes-tic violence and dating violence commit-ted by non-Indian abusers against their Indian spouses, intimate partners and dating partners. Even a violent crime committed by a non-Indian husband against his Indian wife, in the presence of her Indian children, in their home on the Indian reservation, could not be prosecut-ed by the tribe. In granting the pilot proj-ect requests of the Tulalip, Pascua Yaqui and Umatilla tribes today, the United States is recognizing and affirming the tribes’ inherent power to exercise “special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction” over all persons, regardless of their Indian or non-Indian status.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck ath-letes signed their letters of intent to play in college on Feb. 5.
Former M-P quarter-
back Jake Luton signed for University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, as his school of choice.
“I feel really prepared,” Luton said about attend-ing the NCAA Division 1 School. “I have had the
greatest coaches and men-tors.”
Luton still plans on play-ing quarterback at UI, with his intended studies focus-ing in sports psychology and exercise science.
Luton started for three
years as M-P’s quarterback. “I had a great individual year and so did our team,” he said about his senior year.
M-P soccer play-ers Amanda Klep and Mackinzie Nolte signed their letters of intent for their respective col-leges as well. Nolte signed for Central Washington University and Klep signed for Concordia University in Portland, Ore.
“Concordia won the NAIA National Championship, and that kind of led me toward that,” Klep said.
At Concordia, Klep will continue to play soccer and study athletic training.
Alex Gray signed his let-ter of intent to play football for CWU while studying engineering. Gray intends to play outside linebacker.
“It’s my best offer,” Gray said. “I like the coaches and
players.” Gray said his football
experience at M-P will ben-efit his athletic career at CWU.
“We do the same thing here on defense as they do,” Gray said. “We play in the same spot, but I’m going to step up my game when I get there.”
M-P basketball player and football player Dante Fields signed his letter of intent for CWU. “They want me to play tight end there,” Fields say.
At CWU, Fields wants to study law and justice. “I want to become a police officer or a federal agent,” he said.
Fields said M-P has pre-pared him both academi-cally and athletically. “All the coaches are great. They love the sports they coach, especially football,” he said. “And, academically, I had great teachers. I learned a
lot.”Deion Stell also signed
his letter of intent for CWU. “It was a place I felt com-fortable with,” he said.
What particularly drew Stell to become a Cougar was the balance between independence and still being close to home. “I like the proximity of the homes,” he said. “I’m far enough away to be isolated to feel a change, but I’m also close enough to come home.”
Stell plans on playing corner and kick return for CWU while studying busi-ness. “I’m not sure what it will be in, but it will be busi-ness,” he said.
M-P head coach Brandon Carson was pleased with four of his football play-ers signing their letters of intent. “They all have worked very hard,” he said. “Their work ethic is what got them to where they are now.”

Marysville — Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball was defeated by Everett, 56-53, on Feb. 5. Victory was in reach for the Tomahawks, but a couple of faulty defen-sive plays allowed Everett to escape with the win.
The Tomahawks were looking to take the sec-ond seed in the playoffs by defeating Everett, which was ranked second in Wesco 3A North. “We made some unforced errors,” M-P head coach Bary Gould said. “We took some question-able shots, and we maybe should’ve been a little more cautious.”
Despite the loss, M-P managed to clinch a play-off spot when Marysville Getchell beat Oak Harbor the same night. “Oak Harbor played Getchell tonight, and Oak Harbor was going to be the team on Friday we had to play a playoff game against,” Gould said. “But Getchell ended up winning that game, so now we’re in the third seed in the play-offs.”
M-P has already defeat-ed MG twice in the regu-
lar season. “The [MG and Oak Harbor] game was for second place, and if Oak Harbor would have won ,they would have also been in third, so then we would have to face them in a playoff game,” Gould said. “When they came here, they beat us, and we went there, we beat them. Now we don’t have to, because Getchell beat them.”
With M-P guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, Gould said the Tomahawks must cut down on their in-game errors. “We can’t play like we did right there,” Gould said. “It’s our goal to get in the playoffs every year.”
The Tomahawks did have highlights, putting their shooting skills on display as they competed against the No. 2 team in 3A Wesco North.
Sophomore guard Josh Bevan was M-P’s high-est scorer. Bevan hit for 13 points, with nine of those from three-pointers.
Junior guard Cole Grinde proved to be a sharpshoot-er as well, as he matched Bevan’s three-point scoring. Grinde scored nine points in the game.
Second in M-P scoring was junior wing Michael Painter, who scored 11 points. Painter hit two three-pointers in the game.
The first quarter did not start so well for M-P. Both teams were slow to warm up in scoring, but Everett got on the board first.
M-P sophomore Bryce Juneau hit both of his free throws to tie the score to 2-2. After a brief Tomahawk run, M-P found itself in the lead, 5-2, only to have Everett tie it again, and then take the lead.
Everett led at the end of the first quarter 13-7.
M-P came back to take control of the second quar-ter by scoring 18 points to Everett’s nine. The Tomahawks slowly climbed their way back to the top by scoring consistently and hitting threes. By halftime, the Tomahawks led Everett, 25-22.
After halftime, Everett went back on top in the third quarter. In the third quar-ter, M-P and Everett traded goals, but Everett was getting the better of the two. Everett outscored M-P in the third quarter by six. Within the
third quarter, Everett man-aged to put M-P in a hole at 40-35. M-P’s Juneau got one more goal in for M-P before the third quarter ended. Everett led M-P 40-37 as the
third quarter ended. In their final quarter
effort, M-P was able to gain a 50-43 lead. M-P was unable to hold the lead as Everett scored nine more points to
M-P’s three. Everett won 56-53.
As of Feb. 8, M-P is 5-8 in conference and 8-11 overall. M-P is No. 3 in Wesco 3A North.

MARYSVILLE — The Lakewood Cougars bas-ketball team was defeated, 67-47, by South Whidbey on Jan. 31.
“We worked hard but they played an extremely good game,” Lakewood head coach David Choi said. “They were knocking down their shots.”
Lakewood junior Paul Coleman led the Cougars in scoring, hitting for 14 points at the end of the game.
Second in scoring was junior Ryan Alford, hitting for 12 points. Alford was able to sink six out of his seven free-throw attempts.
In the first quarter,
Lakewood fell behind 18-4. It got worse for them at halftime when they trailed Whidbey 37-15.
Scoring improved for the Cougars in the second half. They scored 18 points in the third quarter, making it their highest scoring.
Junior Hunter Fritz sank a three-pointer and then followed up with one more in the fourth.
Coleman scored nine points in the third quar-ter, and converted three of those points at the free-throw line.
The fourth quarter turned out to be decent as well, when the Cougars were able to score 14 points. Sophomore Matthew Keen sank a three-pointer and
Alford scored a goal and converted for two at the free-throw line.
The second half effort wasn’t enough to turn the game around for Lakewood.
Choi was proud of his team for sticking it out all four quarters. “We played to the final horn, which is good,” Choi said.
Choi was particularly impressed with his start-ers supporting the younger players playtime.
“It really showed, despite the outcome,” Choi said. “Our guys are mentally strong and can move on from it.”
Choi said team cohe-sion is what currently car-ries the Cougars’ season. “I really emphasize the family
environment,” Choi said. “We treat each other like brothers.”
Lakewood also lost to Granite Falls, 65-52, on Feb. 1, and to Kings, 62-34, on Feb. 4.
“On Saturday, we put up a good fight,” Choi said about the Granite Falls cat-fight on Feb. 1.
As of Feb. 5, Lakewood’s league record is 2-10 and 5-13 overall.
Lakewood’s last home game will be Friday, Feb. 7, at 6:45 p.m.

MILITARY BRIEFSBrandon T. Lewis
Navy Seaman Apprentice Brandon T. Lewis, son of Gary and Pamela Lewis of Marysville, Wash., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Lewis completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard
and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations”. This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.
Lewis is a 2013 graduate of Marysville-Pilchuck High School in Marysville.
darren M. edwards
Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Darren M. Edwards has graduated from the U.S. Navy’s Enlisted Nuclear Power School at Naval Nuclear Power Training Command in Goose Creek, S.C.Nuclear Power School is a rigorous six-month course that trains officer and enlisted students in the science
and engineering fundamental to the design, operation, and maintenance of naval nuclear propulsion plants.
Graduates next undergo additional instruction at a prototype training unit before serving as an Electronics Technician, Machinist’s Mate or Electrician’s Mate aboard a nuclear-powered submarine or surface war-fare ship.
Edwards is the son of James and Sheri Edwards of Arlington.
He is a 2006 graduate of Arlington High School.

He is a senior statesman but has lots of years to go and energy to spare. He really, really loves to be with his family and sometimes can be upset when left alone at home in his crate. He loves hanging out with his family. He is bothered a bit by young children but gets along great with family members over the age of 12 years. HE LOVES BATHS!!!
Now isn't Sunshine the cutest ever??? She is a beautiful girl who wants to come live with you. She came to the shelter as a stray, but what we have observed so far, she is very mellow and calm and would love to be in a calm and friendly home. Come down and see if your home would be the right one for this lovely little lady.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves
NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

MARYSVILLE — Longtime local business owner Mike Leighan is often quick to credit his fel-low Marysville Rotary Club members for their commit-ment to serving the needs of their community.
On Jan. 27, it was Leighan’s turn to be in the spotlight, as he was honored as December’s Volunteer of the Month by the Marysville City Council, a governing board that he himself served on for 13 years.
Much of Leighan’s com-munity involvement comes through his years of service with the Marysville Noon Rotary Club.
The time that Leighan puts into service projects exemplifies Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self,” according to his nomina-tors.
Leighan was credited with being instrumental in a number of commu-nity events, including last December’s third annual Holiday Tour of Lights at Cedarcrest Golf Course. He took on conductor duties driving the Merrysville Express Rotary Train, that whisked people on a ride along winding cart paths to enjoy a dazzling drive-by display of lighted holiday scenes. He also coordinated the roster to make sure that the trains were never with-out a conductor.
“I can attest to the time that it takes, especially if you step in at the level that Mike does,” said Mayor Jon Nehring, who is also a Rotarian. “Mike has com-mitted countless volunteer hours coordinating, helping set up and lending a hand at some of our most popular events in Marysville, mak-ing sure that these events give families and all par-ticipants an experience to remember.”
In October, Leighan dedi-cated his time to Rotary’s Pumpkins for Literacy cam-paign at the Club’s Pumpkin Patch at the Plant Farm at Smokey Point. Over three weeks, Rotary brought in more than 30,000 pump-kins, raising thousands of dollars donat-ed to local schools to buy hard-bound dictionaries and books for students.
Leighan also serves as the Public Relations Coordinator for Rotary. His latest project will be lead-ing a project to remodel the Rotary Ranch Building at Jennings Memorial Park, to convert it into community meeting space.
Even with all those vol-unteer activities to keep Leighan busy, he can add one more to the list, as he was appointed to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board later on the night of his award presentation.
Leighan’s wife Sarah,
co-owner of Vinyl Signs & Banners, also attended the award ceremony.

“While today we are by no means flush with money, 2014 should right-ly be remembered as the year that we began to invest back into the community,” Nehring said. “It’s a com-mitment to taxpayers that, while we continue to look for ways to increase rev-enues to keep Marysville sustainable, and continue a
quality of life that builds toward the future, we will always look for new oppor-tunities to save dollars, to be more innovative and oper-ate more efficiently.”
Nehring touted how the city has reduced its expen-ditures, built its reserves in excess of its 10 percent goal, paid down city debts such as the golf course inter-fund loan, set aside funds for fleet, IT and building main-tenance reserves, and start-ed a capital reserve fund for
key future investments.According to Nehring,
the Marysville Police Department’s six new patrol officers — one of whom was hired through grant fund-ing — and its series of com-mander, lieutenant and ser-geant promotions in 2013 have brought the depart-ment near full strength in 2014. Local law enforce-ment will additionally be augmented through the opening of a north annex at Smokey Point Boulevard
and 156th Street, to serve as a support facility for patrol and city crews when they’re in north Marysville.
Turning to other depart-ments, Nehring sees the renovations of Foothills Park and other neighbor-hoods parks as enhancing those neighborhoods, and promised to extend Bayview Trail to 84th Street, creat-ing a 1.24-mile corridor for pedestrians and bicyclists.
“We’ll be making a big splash when we turn on the
taps at the new Spray Park in Comeford Park this sum-mer,” Nehring said. “The spray park will become a refreshing new way for fam-ilies to safely enjoy fun in the water on hot summer days, and it will be a great attraction for helping create a sense of community in our downtown.”
The city is seeking to further revitalize the down-town through $150,000 in gateway improvements, waterfront trailhead and
other infrastructure invest-ments, while $200,000 will be used to design and con-struct the Qwuloolt inter-pretive trail, which is tied to the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project, and which Nehring character-ized as a regional recre-ational opportunity.
Among the city’s other investments are $60,000 in funding for the annual “Clean Sweep Week” code enforcement and neighbor-hood cleanup, $500,000 for surface rehabilitation treat-ments to extend the life of the pavement for well-trav-elled roads determined by Public Works to be most in need of repair, and fund-ing for an Interchange Justification Report to build a full interchange for I-5 and State Route 529. Prior to delivering the State of the City address on Jan. 31, Nehring had spent much of that week in Olympia to advocate for forward motion on this process, to which Snohomish County has pledged $500,000.
“We have no grade sepa-ration for the railroad at the intersection of Fourth Street and State Avenue, and we can’t go over or under it,” Nehring said. “We have to fix this failing traffic situ-ation, and we hope to get federal approval by showing that we would be shovel-ready this year.”
Nehring praised city staff for securing grant funding for a number of programs, including the state Transportation Improvement Board’s $3 million award to widen State Avenue from 116th to 136th streets, and the state Department of Ecology’s $170,000 storm water capacity grant and $61,276 source control grant for the city’s new decant facility.
Returning to public safe-ty, Nehring credited a fire-fighter staffing grant with helping the Marysville Fire District refill two firefighter positions that had been cut due to the poor economy. He presented these posi-tions as vitally important, given that the Fire District responded to 10,700 calls for service last year, with EMS calls representing about 80 percent of them. The District likewise plans to add two new aid cars to the fleet this year, replac-ing two existing cars that currently have more than 240,000 miles each on them.
“We’re doing everything possible to serve the public, because the taxpayers are our customers, and I’m a big believer in customer ser-vice,” Nehring said. “We’re not perfect, but we’re striv-ing for it.”
