MARYSVILLE — Elizabeth Bensch arrived at the old Dunn Lumber building in her camouflage uniform on Friday, Dec. 16, to make sure her children could celebrate the holi-days.

“I’m shopping for four kids,” said Bensch, a first-term Navy enlistee who’s been serving at Naval Station Everett since January of this year. “Dad stays at home to look after them so that I can be the worker bee.”

Bensch’s husband had to quit his former job before he and his wife moved to the area, and he hasn’t been able to find work since.

“We just want to make sure the Santa gifts are all

there,” said Bensch, whose children were among the more than 1,100 served by the Marysville Toy Store this year.

“The Marysville Toy Store served about 800 kids last year, said Sue Kendall, who co-chairs the Toy Store with Bonnie Ramsey. “This year, we served 822 kids from 265 families on Friday, and 265 kids from 94 families on Saturday. That’s an increase of about 200 kids since last year, and a total of almost 360 families served between the Toy Store’s two days this year.”

While all the families interviewed made it clear that they would have done their best to keep the econo-my from affecting their chil-

The Spirit of Giving in Marysville


MARYSVILLE — A trio of personal testimonies as to the benefits of medical marijuana was met with interest by the Marysville City Council on Dec. 12, as two citizens of Marysville and one from Lake Stevens urged them to allow the city’s moratorium on medical marijuana dispensaries to expire on Jan. 5 of next year.

Nonetheless, the Council voted unanimously to extend the moratorium into June of 2012, after Marysville City Attorney Grant Weed warned of potential confusion in interpreting the existing laws regulating medical marijuana, as well as conflicts that could arise between municipal, state and federal laws on the subject.

“There are several moving parts to the law which

have yet to be resolved,” Weed said. “The provisions have become more vague, and the state Legislature is interested in clarifying them. The federal Controlled Substances Act is still in effect, under which marijua-na is deemed to have no medical value, and its use, possession and sale remain illegal, which preempts any state law. The law is anything but settled.”

After city of Marysville Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima noted that the city of Marysville has been discussing zoning responses with the cities of Arlington and Lake Stevens, which are also considering such an alternative, Lake Stevens resident Laura Healy spoke to the Council about the collective garden that she’s operated for the past two years in Shoreline.

“We want to be regulated rather than elim-

dren, they all acknowledged how tough that would have been without the Marysville Toy Store. While some first-time Toy Store customers, such as Nancy Klein, have only been on unemploy-ment for a few months, oth-ers have had to tighten their belts for far longer.

“I’ve been unemployed for a year,” said Jamie King, who shopped on Dec. 16 for her six children. “Even with my husband working full-time, it’s hard to find a job when you’re raising six kids. Even if I did get employed, I’d just be working to pay for their day care.”

Kendall and Ramsey credited a host of organiza-tions and individuals with making the Marysville Toy Store possible, and not just by chipping in for toys. The Zumiez store in Quil Ceda Village provided jackets, blankets, hats, gloves and socks, while the Marysville Noon Rotary purchased 100 gift certificates for the mov-ies, worth $25 each, which Kendall explained served a useful purpose to the Toy Store’s customer families, in addition to keeping them

entertained.“That’s enough for two

kids from each family to go to the movies, which the parents were ecstatic about because it gave them a chance to get the kids out of the house so they could wrap their presents,” Kendall said.

Among those who also donated $500 or more to this year’s Marysville Toy Store were the Marysville Chapter of Soroptimist

International, Fred Meyer and the city of Marysville, with Kmart and St. Mary’s Catholic Church also con-tributing significantly to the cause.

“Dunn Lumber donated the building, which was vital,” said Ramsey, who noted the number of busi-nesses in town that host-ed “giving trees” for the Marysville Toy Store. “The community’s response has been overwhelming. It’s

come alive with all these people who have shown support for each other.”

Those people included more than 200 volunteers at this year’s Marysville Toy Store, many of them area high school students.

“We used up just about everything this year,” Ramsey said.

“And it all went to Marysville children,” Kendall said.

inated,” said Healy, who’d pre-viously spoken to the Council in July of this year, just before they imposed the initial six-month moratorium. “Our patients need safe access to their medicine. We don’t want them to have to call somebody up and pick it up in a parking lot out in the open. The public shouldn’t have to see it.”

When asked by Council member Michael Stevens, Healy elaborated that such co-ops follow self-imposed boundaries, such as not estab-lishing locations within 1,000 feet of schools or day care establishments, because they respect the right of parents to shield their children from what may be a taboo subject to many families. Council member Carmen Rasmussen requested copies of the ordinances of cities such as Shoreline and Mukilteo, which Healy cited as bal-ancing the needs of medical marijuana dispensaries with their surrounding communi-ties. Healy promised to send those to Hirashima for city of Marysville staff to study.

Marysville resident Joanna Kasner followed Healy by recounting the centuries of

historic precedent for legal medical marijuana usage before sharing how medi-cal marijuana had given her back a part of her life that she’d thought she’d lost after a physical assault left her unable to function without narcotics.

“It damaged my lower back, my shoulders and my knees,” Kasner said. “I lost my job as a long-haul trucker. Medical marijuana minimized the side-effects I’d experienced with opiates, and the people at the dispensaries have treated me with respect and kindness.”

Marysville’s Lonnie Smith is a 58-year-old fibromyal-gia sufferer who’s also cop-ing with a hernia, and she touted medical marijuana’s “instant results” without any side-effects.

“I’m not laid out in bed with chronic pain,” Smith said. “I just want safe access to my medicine. Please don’t make me go out on the streets to get it.”

Weed’s final advice to the Council that evening noted that, regardless of state laws, the city could potentially be charged with aiding and abetting violations of the Controlled Substances Act under federal law if it allowed such dispensaries within city limits.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck High School’s Life Skills program hosted a Holiday Silent Auction at M-PHS on Dec. 10, the proceeds from which will go toward a new van for the class’s trips and activi-ties.

M-P’s Life Skills class serves M-P students with developmental disabilities and helps them to prepare for the next stage of their lives with job shadowing and participation in work crews.

“It’s about pulling par-ents together and helping students,” M-P Life Skills

teacher Jim Strickland said. “It strengthens connections and tells the community who we are. Any money we raise, of course, goes to the program.”

Blue and white balloons, paper snowflakes and winter wonderland-themed tables bearing Christmas cookies for all to enjoy set a fes-tive mood for the evening’s events. Dinner, Jamba Juice and popcorn were available for all in attendance.

Items up for bidding included jewelry from Cookie Lee Jewelry, a “Scene It?” movie trivia game, an Apple iHome system, a set of golf clubs, fudge and caramel apples from The Fudgery in Marysville, a Gibson “Epiphany Special” electric guitar, a “Toy Story 3” play set, baskets of fruit and chocolate, and a Cookie Master Plus cordless cookie press.

The program’s active and growing parent group sug-gested the auction to raise funds for the program, though they insisted that Angie Wilson, mother of Life Skills student Parker Wilson, came up with the

idea and worked for six weeks to make it happen. Wilson found the auction items through donations from stores and business-es in the Marysville com-munity. Dana Strickland, Jim’s wife, handled the event’s decorations and the arrangement of the gifts. The program spread word of the auction through fly-ers and emails.

“We wouldn’t be here without donations,” Angie Wilson said. “This is just the beginning. We hope to do this next year.”

A 50-50 raffle, of which half the proceeds went to the Life Skills program, was the evening’s entertain-ment.

Zach Keefe, Parker’s cousin and a racer at Deming Speedway, which

donated two family passes and $60 in food vouchers, was in attendance. Keefe’s 1200 Mini Sprint car bears an “Autism Speaks” sticker to support those in need.

At the end of the night the program had raised a total of $1,567.

Anyone can make dona-tions to the nonprofit Parker’s Cure through U.S. Bank, Wilson said

ARLINGTON — They consider themselves one of the best-kept secrets in the area, albeit not by choice, so on Friday, Dec. 16 the organizers of the Blue Sky Swap Meet at the Arlington Municipal Airport did their best to get the word out for themselves and for Operation Homefront.

The Blue Sky Christmas Festival ran for 11 hours in the hangar at 19010 59th Dr. NE that serves as the swap meet’s regular site, and generated $1,800 in dona-tions toward Operation Homefront’s annual holiday toy drive.

“Operation Homefront partnered with the Dollar Tree to purchase the kids’ toys with donations from the community,” said Christina Vasquez, event coordinator for Operation Homefront of Washington. “Laberta and Dale Pitcher, the proprietors of the Blue Sky Swap Meet, donated their space for this event, and we’re already

talking with them about a baby shower for hundreds of mothers on March 24 of next year, where people could donate clothes as well.”

The Blue Sky Swap Meet touts itself as an indoor, heated, secure, lit and dry flea market and craft fair, where the Pitchers estimate they’ve seen about 6,000 browsers and shoppers walk through since the start of October this year.

“Our first Saturday, we saw 216 people,” Dale Pitcher said on Dec. 16. “We aver-age between 360-420 people per Saturday now, although we’ve had up to 432. We have 76 vendor spaces available, and we had 52 vendors here this Friday.”

From the amount of foot-traffic they receive, Dale and Laberta believe that they have an opportunity to serve a couple of community needs, not only for thrifty shopping, but also for folks who are looking to sell their wares because a number of them are unable to support themselves in the current economy otherwise.

“A lot of them have been laid off and can’t find jobs because they’re too old or they’re handicapped in some

other way,” Dale Pitcher said. “That’s why we try to make the lease and keep the lights on, even though we’re not really making any money ourselves.”

Vasquez thanked the Pitchers for helping to chan-nel support back to mili-tary families in need, which Operation Homefront also serves through its Backpack Brigade, an annual event that collects new backpacks filled with school supplies for the school-aged children of military families.

“Each year, Operation Homefront chapters help military families get their children ready to go back to school,” Vasquez said. “This assistance allows families to focus on the other important back-to-school expenses, like new clothes and shoes. Taking some of the finan-cial pressure off during that important time of year ensures that military kids can begin their school year with pride and confidence. In 2009 alone, more than 19,000 backpacks were pro-vided to military children.”

For more information on the Blue Sky Swap Meet, call the Pitchers at 360-913-8181.

Mendoza Family Grateful for Community SupportIt has been almost

two months since the Mendoza family was faced with the tragic loss of their son Juan. The last two months have not been easy on the Mendoza family but with the help of their faith and the support from the Marysville community it has

MARYSVILLE — Misako Sevon has been dancing since the fifth grade, but other than a role in a production of Pinocchio last year, it wasn’t until late this year that the 16-year-old Marysville Getchell High School sopho-more became part of a major production.

“I’m one of the fight-ing mice,” Sevon laughed, acknowledging that “my part isn’t as big” in the 2011 Pacific Northwest Ballet production of “The Nutcracker.”

Her role nonetheless required her to attend 10 lengthy rehearsals early in November, to prepare for the 36 performances of the holi-day classic between Nov. 25 and Dec. 27 at Seattle Center’s Marion Oliver McCaw Hall.

“It’s been hard to keep up with school, with the late-night rehearsals and perfor-mances, so I’ve had to skip a

few days and then make up,” said Sevon, who trained at the Pilchuck Dance Academy and Northwest Dance and Acro.

While Sevon’s fighting mouse mask makes it hard for her to see while she’s dancing, she enjoys the free-dom it gives her to “go crazy” onstage.

“It’s an honor to dance with the members of the com-pany,” Sevon said. “It’s really inspiring. If you haven’t seen ‘The Nutcracker’ live, you need to because it’s so beau-tiful.”

MARYSVILLE — Five years ago, the Marysville Community Lunch non-profit group started serving hot meals to the homeless in the Ebey Waterfront and Comeford parks.

Two years ago, the Marysville Community L u n c h moved into the base-ment of the E v e r g r e e n U n i t a r i a n Universalist Fel lowship C h u r c h , at Fourth Street and C o l u m b i a Avenue, where their volun-teers still serve free meals to those in need starting at 1 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

This coming Christmas Day, the Marysville Community Lunch will move its Friday serving to Saturday, Dec. 25, start-ing at 1 p.m., with gifts from the Mountain View Presbyterian Church’s “giv-ing tree” to follow.

Teri Branan, who took over the Marysville Community Lunch from Kay Cannell after her passing two years ago, explained that the group’s needs remain much the same, except for the degree of need among those they serve.

“We average about 37-40

diners per meal, but we can get as many as 50 in a sit-ting,” Branan said. “There’s no RSVPs, so we just cook for 50-plus people.”

Within the past year, the Marysville Community Lunch has seen two of its frequent guests pass away, at the same time that they’ve gained a small group of

young adults among their patrons.

“It just reminds us how dear those old guests have become to us,” Branan said. “We’re trying our best to get

the young ones to trust us, but it seems like they’ve just been so hurt that they’re keeping us at arm’s length.”

Among the more familiar returnees, some of whom Branan remembered seeing back when the Marysville Community Lunch still took place in the parks, she reported that they help the volunteers set the tables beforehand and clean up afterward, taking a sense of pride and ownership in the thrice-weekly meal.

“I’ve never had to call the police on them,” Branan said, before laughing, “I have had to be ‘Mom’ with a few of them, though.”

Branan credited the Evergreen Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and Mountain View

Presbyterian churches with helping to sustain the Marysville Community Lunch through offerings from their congregations, and thanked the folks who have anonymously donated cans of soup, vegetables and even entire turkeys, but she emphasized the degree of need that still exists.

Among the items that count as valuable gifts to the

homeless and needy diners are disposable hand warm-ers, gloves, hats, sleeping bags, small-denomination food gift cards for Safeway and Albertsons, and water-proof clothing, all of which Branan would welcome as donations to the Marysville Community Lunch.

“We give them their gifts in black garbage bags,” Branan said. “They’ve got-

ten hurt because we’ve given them things that were too nice before. If it’s too sparkly or new, they’ll get jumped for it.”

However cold the weather and the treatment they encounter outside, Christmas Day offers the Marysville Community Lunch patrons the chance to have their food brought to them once a year, rather

than lining up for it cafete-ria-style.

“People don’t look at them as being human out there,” Branan said. “In here, they get presents with their names on them, and they’re so thankful.”

For more information, call Branan at 360-658-4472 or look up “Marysville Community Lunch” on Facebook.

BERET A. DUNN

Navy Seaman Recruit Beret Dunn, daughter of Patricia A. Dunn of Seattle, Wash. and James W. Dunn, of Marysville, Wash., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program, Dunn completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practi-cal instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety.

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.

The scene: Members of a Snohomish County school board stopped for coffee

when returning from a visit to the Education Services District (ESD) facility in Mount Vernon. Matt, the board’s chairman, said, “This isn’t a meeting, you know.”

Liz: “Gotcha. No official business, go easy on the shop talk. Even so, let’s try not to waste each other’s time like in the board room last week.”

Larry: “Yeah. The press really creamed us after the last budget ses-sion. ‘School Board spends two hours playing what-if.’ Trouble is, they were right.”

Anica: “So? We’d just found out that even after the last round of cuts, we’re still dealing with about nine dollars for every ten dollars of need. The press wanted all the answers. We didn’t have them. We still don’t.”

Matt: “Well, we can’t sit on our hands. We’re pretty much agreed on across-the-board cuts with excep-tions. You know, so everyone feels the squeeze.”

Larry: “That’ll be different. Usually when we squeeze, we dodge upset-ting the community by limiting cuts to areas that are less visible, cutting program without seriously offending voters. We obviously need a different way of looking at this mess.”

Matt: “If you’re about to lay a sug-gestion on us, do try to keep it theo-retical. We can’t let this become a meeting so please, try to stay within the spirit, if not the letter of the law.”

Larry: “Okay. Well, first off, given the funds we have to work with, it’s impossible to do everything well. In focusing on things that most deserve support, then other areas will suf-fer. That is if we’re of one mind that certain parts of our program must thrive no matter what.

Liz: “We know that. Just which sacred cows would you have us slaughter?”

Anica: “Sacred cows? We have an entire herd of them. They’re all sacred. Threaten any one of ‘em and

there’s hell to pay. That’s our prob-lem.”

Liz: “Or maybe we should consider losing part of the cobbled-up mission public schools have taken on. It’s all costly.”

Matt: “Cobbled up mission?”Liz: “Uh-huh. Educate the citizen-

ry, run a college-prep program, be society’s biggest day-care system, run extracurricular activities, minister to every kind of exceptional kid. Maybe it’s too much even for normal times.”

Larry: “The reality is, with salaries accounting for the lion’s share of the budget, there’s no way we can bal-ance the books by tinkering with slivers of the pie-chart. We have to cut more staff!”

Mindy: “Sorry, Larry, but we’ve already cut staff to where it’s unlikely that any program can thrive. I know that this won’t fly, but we might take a look at how much could be saved by dropping athletics.”

Larry: “Are you out of your head? Most of our voters reach for the sports page first. Sports! Aside from their own kids, they don’t give a damn about academic achievement.”

Anica: “Whoa! First, I’m biased here because my kids are athletes. You have to consider that the average GPA of athletes is higher than that of the general student population. Doesn’t that say that sports bolster any school’s academic standing?”

Liz: “Normally, I agree with you, Ani, but you’re pushing a bad cor-relation. A varsity team is made up of the strongest, healthiest, quickest-thinking kids in school. Sure, they have better GPAs but that’s due to genes, not high school sports.”

Matt: “It’s not a new thought. Listen to a few things I picked up cruising the web; Minnesota pro-posed trimming back the number of games per season. Tournaments, too. Virginia’s Lee County is about to cut athletics, depending on what their state assembly comes up with. Oregon’s north Clackamas and Forest Grove districts have stopped funding cross-country, swimming, tennis and golf. Eugene cut $400,000 from its athletic budget. Florida’s High School Athletic Association is planning cuts to every sport except football. How’s that for a sacred cow?”

Larry: “Sacred? Yes, but we have to remember that public school sports are more than an activity. They’re rooted in local culture. Dads and granddads played sports and spend their Friday nights watching their kids play. I’m warning you, guys. Mess with this at your peril.”

Liz: “Larry, dear, that was shame-fully sexist and I totally disagree. Given the budget shortfall and what already done to classroom education, we can’t leave anything off the table. No, no, no. I totally oppose wimpy behavior like Florida’s in singling out football. Let’s show some courage here.”

Larry: “Sorry Liz. I just think it’s wise to remember that there will be consequences and that it’ll be up to us to deal with that, too.

Matt: “Are we getting anywhere?”Anica: “ Maybe. We’ve stirred

some new thoughts, but like you said, this isn’t the proper time or place to bring them up.”

Matt: “Anyone else?”Mindy: “I’m okay. I think my

mind’s in a better frame for our next scheduled meeting.” She stands and collects her purse. “Time to go now. Kids will be coming home soon.”

Matt: “Thanks, guys. Coffee’s on me.”

BOB GRAEFOPINION

I love the Lakewood School District

I have been a member of the Lakewood School District community for over 30 years, as a resident, a taxpayer, a par-ent of two Lakewood gradu-ates and one child to begin school at Lakewood in the fall. I have had the privilege of being a teacher and librarian for Lakewood School District since 1977. This is my com-munity, my home, and I love living and working here. This fall I have been reminded that Lakewood is a great place by community participation in several venues.

First, our high school foot-ball team was an awesome force this year, taking the school to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. This is due in part to the immense support of the community. This year’s team was incredible. What made it more incredible was the community’s focus on the school, the team, and the coaches throughout the entire season. I think Lakewood may be one of the only school districts around where al the schools wear the high school team colors. We wear them proudly.

Second, as librar-ian at English Crossing and Lakewood Elementary Schools, I have lived through incred-ible times in the last year. We took a K-2nd grade school and a grades 3-5 school, redrew lines within the district and transformed both schools into K-5 configurations. This was accomplished by the amaz-ing work of teachers, support and facilities staff, many who worked without pay for count-less days this summer. The people who choose to work at Lakewood are special. They give 150 percent, because they love this place and the people here. I’m truly proud of the people I work with, and grate-ful to be a part of the team.

Third, I recently finished running two book fairs dur-ing conference week. Not only were parents supportive in helping out, we sold a record number of books for kids to read and raising more money to help stock the newly recon-figured libraries. Seeing our parents visiting the book fair reminded me again how lucky we are to have such a wonder-ful community. My sincere thanks to the community for a wonderful book fair.

SMOKEY POINT — Members of the Marysville and Arlington communi-ties have already pitched in on behalf of Operation Christmas Child, but with the number of suffering children served worldwide by the non-profit program its organizers hope that local residents will take advan-tage of one last chance to contribute to its cause before the end of the year.

According to Jennifer B u t l e r of OCC, A r l i n g t o n r e s i d e n t s went from packing 830 g i f t - f i l l e d s h o e b o x e s for OCC last year to pack-ing 1,006 OCC gift boxes this year. While Marysville residents went from packing 901 gift-filled shoeboxes for OCC last year to packing 603 OCC gift boxes this year, Butler emphasized that both Marysville and Arlington residents can still log onto the OCC website, at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ, to take advantage of its “Build a Box” program on behalf of

needy children overseas.“It’s a simple, quick, yet

meaningful way to impact a child in need,” Butler said. “Volunteers can select a child’s age and gender, shop through an online selection of gifts, ‘pack’ them in an empty shoe box, and finish it off with a note of encour-agement. Then, through

t r a c k i n g technology, donors can ‘follow’ the box to the destination c o u n t r y where it will be hand-delivered.”

Although OCC’s offi-cial National Col lect ion Week ran from Nov. 14-21 this year, donors can still pack gift boxes

for needy children virtually through “Build a Box” until Dec. 31.

“This is such a neat way for residents to continue to spread the joy of Christmas worldwide,” Butler said. “It’s a convenient way to join in a project that will bring hope to more than 8.5 million children suffer-ing from natural disaster, war, terrorism, famine and

poverty this year.”Operation Christmas

Child, a project of inter-national Christian relief and evangelism organiza-tion Samaritan’s Purse, uses these gift-filled shoeboxes

to let hurting children know they are loved and not forgotten. For many of these children, the shoebox will be the first gift they have ever received.

Since 1993, OCC has

hand-delivered more than 86 million gift-filled shoe boxes to needy children in more than 130 countries.

For more information on how to participate in Operation Christmas

Child, call 253-572-1155 or log onto www.samaritans-purse.org/occ.

“For families who haven’t yet packed their gift of hope, it’s not too late,” Butler said.

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring is proud to announce Danyon Heacock as commu-nity Volunteer of the Month for November for his Eagle Scout proj-ect to build a bridge across Allen Creek on city-owned park prop-erty.

Heacock, 15, led a party of vol-unteers last September in building a bridge for a new park that is being built on the former Doleshel Tree Farm property on 67th Avenue north of 88th Street, near Kellogg Marsh Elementary.

The project entailed removing an old bridge, then replacing it with a new one that spans 25 feet, with

handrails, pressure-treated wood and a sturdy deck.

Heacock put in many hours into planning and coordinating the proj-ect. He managed 44 volunteers over three days (contributing 225 hours), designed and gathered materials from donors, and raised donations from businesses that totaled $3,000. Donors were E & E Lumber, Parr Lumber, Carr’s Hardware, Matheus Lumber in Woodinville and Fraser Bronze Foundry.

Marysville Parks and Recreation crews were a big help as well.

“This was a huge undertaking for an Eagle Project,” Mayor Jon Nehring said during an award presentation at

the Dec. 12 City Council meeting. “Danyon accomplished his goal, and build a bridge that families, individ-uals and young people like him will be able to enjoy for years to come.”

Eagle Scouts have continued to make lasting contributions around Marysville, most notably through community service projects that have improved and beautified our Parks system, adding enjoyment and convenience for park users.

Nehring also congratulated Heacock’s parents, Mike and Carleen, for raising and guiding their son along a positive path in scouting that is sure to lay the course for many other accomplishments.

Heacock named Volunteer of the Month

S N O H O M I S H COUNTY — Snohomish County’s Human Services Department is gathering input on community resi-dents’ experiences when trying to find housing for purchase or rent.

Specifically, it’s con-ducting an online survey to measure the impacts of potential housing discrimi-nation and housing choice in Snohomish County. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires communities receiving federal funding for housing and develop-ment activities to analyze barriers to housing choice.

Snohomish County is conducting the study because it receives more than $5 million annually in federal grants from the Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnership and Emergency Shelter Grant programs. These funds are used to support affordable housing and community development projects for low-income people, families and neighborhoods.

Through the results of the survey, and a series of com-munity meetings and focus groups being planned for January, the county’s Human Services Department is looking to identify hous-ing barriers and ways to improve access.

Two versions of the sur-vey are available. One ver-sion is for residents, while the other survey is for social service and housing provid-ers, as well as real estate professionals including landlords, property manag-ers, real estate agents and lenders.

The survey for residents can be found at http://svy.mk/t8frGw. A Spanish-language version of the resi-dents’ survey is available at http://svy.mk/s0SygK. The stakeholder survey may be completed at http://svy.mk/sgGrgR.

Paper copies and trans-lated copies of the resi-dent surveys in Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Arabic and Somali also are available upon request from the Human Services Department. Service and housing providers may also request paper copies of the resident surveys for pro-gram participants.

ARLINGTON — Marysville Getchell, Lakewood and Granite Falls wrestling competed in Arlington High School’s double-dual event on Dec. 14 with the chance to show what their teams were made of.

“Let’s make a statement of who we are, right now,” Lakewood coach Tom O’Hara told his wrestlers before the matches began. “Leave it all on the mat.”

Getchell impressed by tak-ing down Lakewood, 43-26, to open the night and fin-ished strong against Granite Falls, 39-30. Lakewood lost its second match, the Crosstown Showdown, against Arlington to finish 0-2.

“We had some guys out and (Arlington) had some guys out,” O’Hara said. “It was a tough night, but a good one. I thought we

wrestled our best in the sec-ond match. We fought hard and didn’t give up, but what we didn’t do is the moves we worked on in practice.”

Against Lakewood, Getchell seniors Luis Cordona, Daniel Reznikov and Zack Perkins, junior Billy Almachar and fresh-man Riley Kalamen pinned their opponents. Juniors Cody Stone and Alfredo Diaz won by decisions after three rounds. Freshman Rashad Abu-Al-Halaweh won by forfeit.

Getchell recorded pins from Reznikov and Perkins against Granite Falls. They lost five bouts in the match but Alex Summerfield, Dylan Smith and Alfredo Diaz won by forfeit.

“Go back and talk it up at school,” said Getchell coach Todd Freeman to his team that had improved its record to 5-3 and secured a winning record through the holiday break. “You’ve earned it.”

Lakewood quickly found itself trading pins with Arlington in the Crosstown Showdown.

Arlington sopho-more Wes Conley pinned Lakewood’s Hunter Olsen after 1:04. Cougar Sawyer Almasi pinned Eagle Conner Holdoway after 3:27. Lakewood’s Tanner Stewart pinned Brock-Anderson after 1:02. Eagle sophomore Scotty Bardell pinned Jeremy Peterson after 18 seconds. Lakewood’s Nolan Bingaman pinned Arlington senior Blake Thuline after 3:47. Cougar Waylon Gwyther pinned Davis after 1:16. Eagle senior Shawn Berg pinned Nick Kragseth after 1:52. Chase pinned Lakewood’s Dan Brower after 5:11. Ferro pinned Cougar Brandon Kilham after 1:29. Arlington senior Blake McPherson pinned Lakewood’s Jeff Harris after 3:54. Cougar Tug Giorgio pinned Eagle freshman Gareth

Henderson after 1:26 and Lakewood’s Tristan Nelson pinned Arlington sopho-

more Tanner Gaskin after 1:39. Arlington freshman Clayton Hunter received a

forfeit victory and Thomas outlasted Lakewood’s Drake Mosteller, 8-5.

Chargers defeat Lakewood, Granite Falls


MARYSVILLE — It just wasn’t Marysville Getchell’s night when they looked for their first-ever win as they hosted undefeated Mountlake Terrace and its travel-ing entourage of student fans on Dec. 16.

The Hawks wasted no time in maintaining their perfect record, overpowering the Chargers to a 77-17 win.

“I don’t think we came in with a lot of confidence,” said Charger sophomore guard Omar Sakin-Romulus, who finished with four points on the night. “We were told before the game that this was the best team in the league, so I think we got down on ourselves.”

Mountlake Terrace’s 6-foot-7 senior post Ryan Shannon and 6-foot-7 sophomore post Greg Bowman anchored MLT’s man-to-man defense, blocking layups left and right and zipping the ball out to their runners on the way to a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter.

Getchell tried to regroup with a timeout, down 14-0, less than a minute later.

The Hawks outmuscled the Chargers on rebounds and

swarmed the Getchell guards looking to pass into the key. MLT jumped in front of Getchell’s pass-es on the perimeter, taking the ball the other way for fast break layup after fast break layup.

The Chargers spent another timeout, down 28-0 with a minute left in the opening quarter.

Total MLT domination on the boards put Getchell on their heels after every one-shot possession.

Getchell took another timeout down 34-2 with 5:05 to go in the half. They stepped up to keep the Hawks on the perimeter, but Shannon and Bowman snagged rebound after rebound and made the much shorter Chargers pay for their lack of size beneath the basket.

Hawk sophomore post Loren Lacasse put a statement on the first half with a buzzer-beating put-back basket off of a rebound to put his team up 48-7 as time expired.

The Chargers showed no signs of retreat or surrender in the sec-ond half. They stayed tough and drove to the basket on every trip down the floor and fought back on rebounds to challenge Shannon, Bowman and Lacasse. Getchell sophomore guard Nathen Grimm, who led the Chargers in scor-

ing with seven points, stole the ball from MLT junior guard Jesse Zerom and took it the rest of the way for a layup.

The Hawks led 58-11 after three quarters.

Getchell took on a zone defen-sive approach to keep MLT’s big men out of the paint, but senior guard Eric Moisant and his Hawks had no qualms about knocking drilling threes and dooming the

Chargers to a 77-17 loss.“We practice tough and work

hard,” Sakin-Romulus said. “It’s all we can do. Whether we’re down 25 or 100, we want to do what Coach tells us and keep competing.”

Chargers fall to unbeaten Mountlake Terrace

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell welcomed Sedro-Woolley, Burlington-Edison and Sehome high schools on Dec. 13 for a five-team meet between the Wesco and Northwest confer-ences.

M-P and MG both struggled against Sehome to start the evening but rebounded for back-to-back wins against S-W and B-E.

“We’re actually missing some Getchell guys,” M-P and MG coach Meredith Jenks said. “Our top swimmer’s out with bad ten-donitis and some other guys still have to be cleared. I’m very impressed, and we knew we had a chance.”

The Tomahawk A team of seniors Andrew Winquist (28.92 seconds) and Jon Ell (29.85), and juniors Colin Willis (24.44) and Jacob Blomberg (25.78) took second in the 200-yard medley relay at 1:48.99.

“M-P swam really well too,” Jenks said. “Sehome’s guys (who won the 200-yard med-ley relay) are three-time state champs, so we knew what we were up against.”

Getchell’s A squad of seniors Matt Knowlton (30.49) and David Fugate (32.61), sophomore Taylor Dalton (28.91) and junior Kevin Korte (25.46) took third at 1:57.47.

Winquist qualified for 4A Districts with a second-place finish in the 200-yard free-

style, seventy-nine hundredths of a second behind first-place Sehome junior Andy Small. Blomberg made 4A Districts with his fourth-place finish at 2:02.16.

Willis qualified for 4A Districts with sec-ond place in the 200-yard individual medley at 2:05.06. Tomahawk sophomore Jonathan Pusateri made 4A Districts with a fourth-place time of 2:26.76. Junior Thomas Durand qualified for 4A Districts as well with a fifth-place 2:32.86 finish.

Ell took fourth in the 50-yard freestyle with a 4A Districts time of 24.44. Fugate took fifth, good for 3A Districts, at 25.79.

M-P senior Tyler Russell won the 1-meter dive with 127.85 total points. Getchell junior Dominique Gray took third with 84.35. Tomahawk sophomore David McCall took fourth with 77.45.

Dalton took third in the 100-yard butter-fly with a 4A Districts time of 1:06.46. M-P senior Justin Cram finished fourth with a 4A Districts time of 1:06.63.

Willis won the 100-yard freestyle with a 4A Districts time of 50.07. Getchell senior Matt Knowlton took fifth with a 4A Districts time of 56.12.

Winquist finished second in the 500-yard freestyle at a 4A Districts time of 5:17.13. Pusateri made 4A Districts in fourth place at 6:09.36.

Getchell’s A squad took second in the

200-yard freestyle relay with a total time of 1:46.34. M-P’s A team took third at 1:50.53.

Cram finished third in the 100-yard back-stroke with a 4A Districts time of 1:08.18. Knowlton finished fourth with a 3A Districts time of 1:09.15 and Durand finished fifth with a 3A Districts-qualifying 1:10.37.

Ell took second in the 100-yard breast-stroke with a 3A Districts time of 1:08.22. M-P senior Corey Coombs made 3A Districts in fourth place at 1:12.67. Fugate finished fifth with a 3A Districts time of 1:13.03.

The Tomahawk A team took second in the 400-yard freestyle relay at 3:41.06. The Charger A team took fifth at 4:15.63.

The Smokey Point Church Of ChristSimply Christians

It really is not important that you are happy with your religion, what is important is that God is happy with your religion.

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

SUNDAY SERVICE — 11:30am

MARYSVILLE — City of Marysville employees recently collected 5,519 food items and nearly 300 toys for families in need during the holidays, along with $3,583 to purchase yet more food and toys for the Marysville Community Food Bank.

In a head-to-head clash of

city departments, only one could become champion (of those in need) in the city’s Holiday Food and Toy Bowl, and that title went to the team of Streets and Surface Water divisions in Public Works. Their employees raised the most food items — 1,391 or about 70 items per employee

— while the combined team of Parks and Recreation and the Cedarcrest Golf Course collected the most toys — 118 — according to city Public Works Administrative Services Manager Tonya Miranda, who tracked dona-tions on behalf of the city Wellness Committee that

coordinated the challenge. The winners were based on the per-employee totals for their teams.

The trophy-winning team was announced at the annual Employee Holiday Luncheon on Thursday, Dec. 15, at the Ken Baxter Community Center, where Marysville

Mayor Jon Nehring com-mended the employees for their outstanding job.

“I would like to express my deep appreciation to all who participated,” Nehring

said. “At this time of year, city employees’ efforts to give back to the community they serve is greatly appreciated. The competition was a lot of fun for a good cause.”

Q: I am really interested in a Ductless Mini Split what Brand does Andgar use and will it heat up my whole house?

A: We have been installing these systems for a long time. We are a Mitsubishi “Mr. Slim” Diamond Dealer. There are several EnergyStar models to choose from that qualify for the PUD program that we are a part of. They have db ratings as quiet as 19 in the FE models and 22 db in the GE models which are amazing. They are offered in a single zone system, two zone systems, three zone systems, up to an eight zone system with one outdoor unit. They come with a wireless remote and washable 10-year Catechin filter and Anti Allergen Enzyme filter. You can choose to do part of your house or your whole house if ductwork is not an option it is a great alternative.
