MARYSVILLE – Being one of the most-famous people in the world, it’s probably not surprising that Santa Claus is hounded by fans even when it is not Christmas.

“He gets stopped in restaurants no matter what time of year,” Mrs. Claus said prior to an engagement at Haggen’s in Marysville recently.

Parents and kids sit on his lap even when he is not dressed in red. They tell their kids “they better be good” because Santa’s watching.

No one wants to get on Santa’s “Naughty List.” They said most people in Marysville don’t have to worry about that.

“It’s a nice town,” Santa said. “At least they’re nice when they are around us.”

Mrs. Claus added: “Naughty people don’t even try to come around us.”

Santa said one time they were at a local senior center where a White Elephant gift exchange was taking place. Nobody even stole away any of the gifts because they didn’t want to get on the “Naughty List.”

Santa has received some interesting wishes from children sitting on his lap.

Recently, a boy about 9-years-old asked him for a Ford F-150. Another youngster asked that a pet that had just died be brought back to life.

“Santa makes toys,” he told them.

Even Santa gets embarrassedAs you might imagine, Santa has had some embar-

rassing moments. He once sat on a chair wrong and split his pants.

“I walked behind him pretty closely when he was leaving,” Mrs. Claus said with her ever-present smile. “You protect the ones you love.”

Another funny thing happened one of the first times they took over for the previous Santa and Mrs. Claus about 17 years ago.

TULALIP — Tulalip Tribal officials met with elected officials and representatives of the state Department of Transportation and Granite

Construction Dec. 18 to update them on the 116th Street overpass, and to push for it to be upgraded.

Tribal Chairman Mel Sheldon Jr. touted the proj-ect as a benefit not only to Tulalip and Marysville,

but also North Snohomish County.

Vice Chairman Glen Gobin said, “It’s been a long road. For years, this only fed into Marysville. We didn’t even have enough money to continue the street.”

Gobin noted that the tribes have kept the permits valid for the project for 18 years, and made their case over and over again as each new wave of elected officials have come through. He reit-erated that, if the overpass

interchange ramps can be improved, it will save the state time and money in the long run, in addition to alle-viating traffic congestion in the area.

A family had rented a place for a private party and wanted to surprise the kids. But the Clauses, who only use the sleigh at Christmas, arrived in a new car.

“We did not know about all the whistles and bells,” Mrs. Claus said, adding the car alarm went off, spoiling the surprise.

Santa also has had a 504-pound man sit on his lap, along with a 104-year-old.

Santa often visits hospi-tals with his wife to cheer up people. On one such visit he was called into a delivery room and held a baby not 15 minutes old.

On a similar visit, Santa met with someone who had severe deformities. When they came back around a while later, the mom was in the doorway crying.

“That was the first time he smiled in weeks,” Mrs. Claus said the mom told them. “We’re just there hav-ing fun, but we do really make a difference.”

Staying with friendsWhen Santa and Mrs.

Claus are in Marysville they stay with friends Bill and Sally Alexander, who have been married for 52 years. The reindeer stay up in the mountain passes “and play in the snow” because, despite their name, they don’t like rain, Santa said.

Despite having the elves around, and all the kids in the world for that matter, the Clauses sometimes wish

they had their own children, although the Alexanders have four.

“Sometimes I have a baby on my lap I don’t want to give back,” Santa said with a ho-ho-ho belly laugh.

Mrs. Claus replied: “You gotta have kids around. They keep you young and on your toes asking questions.”As for what they like to do in their spare time, Mrs. Claus said she likes to travel. But then she doesn’t have to go around the world every year in 24 hours like Santa does using

his “Christmas Magic.”Santa has liked photogra-

phy since he was 12. He also enjoys the Mariners.

As for the elves, Santa said they usually are ener-getic, but when they need motivation he handles them positively and gently.

“Cookies and hot choco-late,” that’s what gets them going, Santa said.

Mrs. Claus added: “They can smell when I’m baking, and they’re right around the corner.”

Mrs. Claus said she does

worry about Santa’s health but she doesn’t nag him about it.

“The doctor is on his back, his dietician and insurance. He doesn’t” need me to do it, too, she said.

Asked if she’d like if Santa was clean shaven, Mrs. Claus pondered a few sec-onds.

“No, I kind of like the beard,” which he’s had for 30 years, she said. He lets it grow scraggly long in December, but she likes it best in “January when he trims it up neater. It’s so pretty.”

Tough times, tooBeing Santa is not all fun

and games. The Clauses have sad times, too.

Each year they go to Eagle Glen, a prison for young-sters ages 11-14. Some of the kids are in shackles.

“And when the metal door closes behind you, it’s rough,” Santa said.

Mrs. Claus added: “Some look like the kid next door. They were just in the wrong place. They need love, too.”

Santa said there are about 150 youngsters there. They have a donut and hot chocolate, “And that’s their Christmas party.”

But what the Clauses like most about Christmas are the “smiling faces,” not just from kids on his lap at stores, but in the people they see all over town.

They recently went to a Marysville school to meet

with some special needs children.

“They were so excited, just screaming,” Mrs. Claus said.

She added that they also like going to retirement centers.

“We should probably be in one ourselves,” she joked while giving a motherly smile with eyes twinkling.

She said they see mira-cles there, especially from Alzheimer’s patients.

“They remember Santa. They are so happy to see him,” she said.

Mrs. Claus usually reads “The Night Before Christmas.”

“We can see the people mouthing the words right along with me,” she said.

“That’s better than dis-rupting the flow of traffic with a second round of con-struction down the line,” Gobin said.

“If you can find the money, we are shovel-ready right now. After eighteen years, we know what it’s like to work on a project piece-meal.”

Tribal Treasurer Les Parks and Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring praised the leg-

islators in attendance, state Rep. Mike Sells and Sen. Steve Hobbs, for including the overpass in the $16 bil-lion transportation package approved last summer.

“We’re about thirty per-cent of the way through the project now, and I’d love to see it through to comple-tion,” Parks said.

“It’s just great to see con-struction crews out here,” state Sen. John McCoy said.

Debbie Bray, manager of the project for the tribes, explained that the project

was 100 days through its 290-day construction peri-od, expanding the bridge from two to six lanes, and echoed Gobin by touting the proposed upgrade of the interchange as “a way to get everyone home faster.”

The proposed upgrade would replace the current diamond-shaped inter-change, with traffic signals and intersecting ramps to the west and east of the bridge, with a single-point exchange, which would have all the ramps converge

at a central traffic intersec-tion.

Bray predicted half the bridge’s 29 shafts would be completed by the end of December, and forecast the arrival of the girders in January.

With the shafts running 120 feet deep, Bray prom-ised both they and the crane

on site will remain very sta-ble, even in high winds.

“Our chairman has asked if a time capsule can be included on site,” Bray said, ribbing Sheldon. “I told him that the utility conduits that the bridge will house, between Marysville and Tulalip, will be your time capsule.”

Tribal artist Ty Juvenal then presented the salmon designs created by fellow Tulalip artists Joe Gobin and James Madison for the bridge’s retaining wall, while Bray explained that an additional noise-cancelling wall would be built to pro-tect nearby housing.

MARYSVILLE — As the Marysville Community Food Bank kicked off its Christmas dinner basket distribution Dec. 18, Dell Deierling reflected on the changes that the food bank has seen over the past year.

Deierling, president of the food bank, estimated that he and his volunteers would serve close to 630 Christmas baskets this year, as opposed to the 690 Thanksgiving baskets.

It’s normal for the food bank to serve more Thanksgiving than Christmas baskets. However, even this year’s number of Thanksgiving baskets is down from the roughly 700 served last year.

“The numbers of people that we’ve served this year have been down overall, but

in talking to them, I feel like the ones we are serving are in greater need,” Deierling said. “I’ve heard more hor-rific stories of circumstanc-es that have befallen people this year.

“A lot of our Christmas clients are just starting to face issues, right now, that are entirely new to them, and it’s heartbreaking,” he added. “I think the gap between the haves and have-nots is getting bigger.”

Deierling sees this gap when he meets with one family that’s struggling to find a place to stay, and the next person to walk through his doors is able to hand off an armful of donations for the Toy Store.

“It’s great when people who have the resources can contribute and say, ‘Merry Christmas,’ as they walk out the door, but a lot of our clients have a much harder

time saying that,” Deierling said. “I’ve told my volun-teers that, regardless of what state our clients are in, we want to do our best to make their holidays merrier.”

The food bank had plenty of help in giving its clients happier holidays Dec. 18, with a crew of nearly 50 volunteers that included not only plenty of familiar faces from the Rotary and Kiwanis, but also a num-ber of missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“If we’re talking about the year as a whole, the kids from Marysville-Pilchuck High School rebounded from last year,” Deierling said, reporting that high schoolers generated 24,000 pounds of food and $1,250 in financial donations in 2015. “We were actually lagging in our year-to-year donations to date, until the

school kids and the fire department came through for us.” Looking ahead to next year, Deierling hopes to seek out what he deemed “pockets of need” through-out the community.

“The question is, who is it that we’re still not serving?”

Deierling asked. “What can we do to take care of them? We’ll have to conduct a needs assessment, and yes, that probably means asking for more financial support to fund it. “But we have so many partners in tak-ing care of people, from

the All-City Food Drive to the grants we get from the Tulalip Tribes, that I don’t think it should take that much,” he added. “We’ve set some big goals, but with the community’s continued assistance, I think we can meet them.”

Lower numbers, greater need

Manufacturing is one of the chief economic forces in Arlington, as well as most of Snohomish County. Locally, we have companies that manufacture parts for aero-space, medical devices, solar power systems and many other items. Both commu-nity colleges and K-12 pro-grams are responding to the increased need for employ-ees in the manufacturing industry.

In the K-12 system, Career and Technical Education is the vehicle to meet this growing need. CTE is enhanced funding that specifically supports educational programs in high demand, high-wage fields in grades 7-12. During the 2014-15 school year, Arlington Public Schools had the wonderful oppor-tunity to work with mem-bers of our local manufac-turing industry, the General Advisory Committee for CTE, the city of Arlington, Everett Community College and the Aerospace Joint Apprenticeship Committee to develop a manufactur-ing program for high school students.

This collaborative team worked to determine the local skills needed for entry-level positions in the manu-facturing field and translate those to a local certificate, choose a curriculum that would be used within the program and, most impor-tantly, select a teacher who embraced the skills and enthusiasm necessary to help get the new program off of the ground and con-

tinue to b u i l d on the M a n u f -ac tur ing F o u n d -a t i o n s c o u r s e that had b e e n

developed.A Manufacturing Task

Force was established to determine the key skills that should be outcomes for our local manufactur-ing program. The task force was made up of representa-tives from the Agricultural Mechanics, Construction, Manufacturing and Aerospace Manufacturing fields. This group first gave input on the curriculum that would be utilized for the program. Three curric-ulums had been reviewed, and the task force strongly recommended ToolingU.

ToolingU is an online curriculum where students can earn industry certifica-tion. It allows for the teach-er to have small groups learning different skills and utilizing different equip-ment throughout the shop on a rotational basis, rather than having students wait-ing to all work on one piece of equipment.

In addition, ToolingU is a curriculum used by some of our large local industry partners to increase the skills of their staff within the companies. Using the assessments in ToolingU and local classroom-based assessments, students can leave our manufacturing

courses with a local certifi-cate that gives their assessed level of skill in the areas identified by our task force.

In the late spring the Arlington Education Foundation held a “frien-draiser” to support the broadening of the base of partners for the manufac-turing program. We were incredibly lucky to find a number of local industry partners that were willing to support the program in a variety of ways, such as reviewing resumes, opening their business to students for field trips or intern-ships, conducting mock interviews, and donating materials and equipment to support the program.

With a good start on the structure of the program, we designed an interview team comprised of repre-sentatives from both the Agricultural Mechanics and Trade and Industry back-grounds.

Knowing how impor-tant it was that the person hired for this position had strong interpersonal skills to work with students and the community, coupled with strong industry skills and a passion for innovative thinking, we were pleased to hire Chris Whiteman as our Engineering and Manufacturing teacher. A graduate of Central Washington University, Whiteman previously taught at the Ephrata High School prior to teaching at Columbia Basin Technical Skill Center in Moses Lake. He comes highly recom-

mended and has a history of developing strong rela-tionships and partnerships with local industry. It will be with this partnership that we further develop the next courses in our Manufacturing program of study.

The tremendous amount of support from local indus-try partners and the city of Arlington has made a wonderful opportunity available to the students in our community. In turn, we are committed to continu-ing to develop our program to meet the local economic needs. It is this collabora-tive partnership that makes Arlington and Arlington Public Schools a very spe-cial place to be.

Amie Verellen-Grubbs is the director of Innovative Programs and College/Career Ready for Arlington Public Schools.

Students, teachers, administrators and staff at Lakewood School District are anticipating, planning and engaged in a myriad of projects that herald not only a new year, but also a beautiful new facility and additions to our campus.

Because of the generosity of the voters, we are heav-ily into the planning stages for our new Lakewood High School building and look forward to breaking ground in early spring.

As we are mindful of our fiscal responsibilities to this community, Lakewood school administrators are carefully and strategically planning this major capi-tal project. We are working with Snohomish County to acquire necessary per-mits for construction. We also are preparing project bid documents and plan to award the high school proj-ect to the contractor that submits the most competi-tive bid in February.

Not only are administra-tors planning for our new high school, but also for the upcoming propositions that fund the daily operations of the district and its technol-ogy needs.

These two propositions will appear on your bal-lot Feb. 9. Proposition I is called the Replacement, Education, Programs and Operations Levy. The rev-enues from this proposi-tion help the district pay for teaching staff, support staff, health and counseling ser-vices, curriculum, programs for students with special needs, and extracurricular activities. Proceeds account for about 24 percent of the

district’s revenue.Proposition 2 will be

a Capital Projects and Technology Levy. This levy will allow the district to address computer and soft-ware upgrades in order to stay current with constantly evolving technology needs,

and to cont inue to make upgrades to our e x i s t i n g f a c i l i -ties. Both prop os i -tions will be levied

for four years with assess-ments starting in 2017. In the chart below, for each year, the numbers show the amount needed and cost per $1,000 valuation first for the replacement levy and then for the technology levy.

•2017 $6,401,810 $3.18$675,000 34 cents•2018 $6,561,855 $3.19$700,000 34 cents•2019 $6,725,902 $3.21$725,000 35 cents •2020 $6,894,049 $3.22$750,000 35 cents For detailed information

on the two propositions go to www.lwsd.wednet.edu.

The school district offers many thanks to the Lakewood community for its support of our schools. Your help makes it possible for us to reach our goal of a quality and comprehensive education for every student.

We wish you a safe and happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.

David Cram is the director of finance for the Lakewood School District.

When Deb and I went to the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club auction last spring we felt we were giving to a good cause. Little did we know we also were going to receive - in a big way. She won a trip to “The Voice.”

We went last week and had an amazing vacation. We applaud auction orga-nizers for obtaining such an awesome prize.

We had great seats, with a straight-on view of the judges. Unfortunately, they paid little attention to the audience, which took away from seeing these famous singers so close up.

Same went for actress Eva Longoria, who was there to plug her new TV show.

The top nine who were still in contention sang their hearts out. They all sounded better in person than on TV.

Jordan Smith was by far the best. We are so glad he won. His version of Queen’s

“Somebody to Love,” brought the house down. No one else was even close.

We played the TV game of standing up and cheering on command, but the ova-tion for Jordan was real.

We really enjoyed watch-ing the set crew work dur-ing commercials. They did so much to set up the stage for each singer. And the

light crew made each set better than it looked in real life.

Along with Jordan, we also were impressed by Blake Shelton, who sang “Gonna,” and Weeknd, who sang a medley of his hits. I’d never even heard of the latter but then found out he was nominated earlier that day for four Grammy awards.

His song was taped and actually shown on the finale so you might have noticed us in the crowd.

As part of the prize we also won three days at Universal Studios, where The Voice is filmed. Lines were so short, despite the 75-degree weather, that we saw it all in two days.

We went on rides like Jurassic Park, The Mummy, The Minions and Shrek. We also went on the studio tour, where we saw Fast and Furious, Earthquake and

the Jaws filming sites. As a special bonus, we

were in groups watching Mario Lopez shoot “Extra,” Nick Cannon shoot his “Caught on Camera,” and we also appeared in the making of a “Star Wars” chips commercial. We will have to wait and see if we end up on the cutting room floor.

With our prize paying for all of that, our Marriott hotel and the Southwest plane flight, it was a very inexpensive vacation.

It was free anyway, but we also went to see “2 Broke Girls.” As a longtime Saturday Night Live fan, it was an honor to see Garrett Morris in person, along with Mrs. Stifler of “American Pie” fame. Providing the most fun was our host, Roger Lundblade, a standup comedian extraordinaire. We were there six hours, but he kept us laughing the

whole time. I told him it was Deb’s birthday so he gave her a shirt and a cup-cake straight from the set. I found out later he also did warm up for other funny shows, like “Will and Grace” and “King of Queens.”

What was most impres-sive about the show itself was the writers. If the audi-ence didn’t laugh enough at a joke, the writers would gather to try to improve the line.

Sometimes it was bet-ter, sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes the actor would recite the old line, leading to a blooper, which we all loved.

Deb and I also went to Disneyland, after picking up one of our granddaugh-ters, Patty, in Long Beach. We’d never been there at Christmas, and it was won-derful seeing The Happiest Place on Earth decorated in colorful lights.

The parade, featuring the jolly old elf himself and dancing reindeer, was fun, as were the fireworks with a Christmas theme. Even the Jungle Cruise became the Jingle Cruise.

We also went to the Queen Mary to see its win-ter festival “Chill.” We got to see the engine room, and I went inner tubing down a makeshift hill. We also donned parkas to go inside a minus 9 degree, 13,000-square-foot igloo to see 2,000 pounds of ice sculptures made in a Scrooge theme.

Deb and I agree it was one of our best vacations ever. If we get another chance to buy a glowing ring at a Tulalip Boys and Girls Club auction you can bet we’ll be giving it a try again.

Tulalip auction prize provides memorable vacation

Eight lawmakers entrusted with drafting a school funding plan in line with the tenets of the state constitution and dictates of the Supreme Court won’t complete their task this year.

The contingent of Democratic and Republican lawmakers met for a final time recently, adjourn-ing without agreement on the con-tours or content of a proposal to put forth in the 2016 session.

They plan to gather again Jan. 4 — one week before the session begins — with hope but uncer-tainty of reaching an accord.

“We’re still negotiating. We’re taking our task very seriously,” said Rep. Norma Smith, R-Clinton, one of the lawmakers involved in the group. “What we’re trying to do is craft something that can be

well-received in the Legislature.”What this means is the

Legislature will begin 2016 just as it did in 2015: in contempt of a

Supreme Court order demand-ing a blue-print for amply funding pub-lic schools by the 2018 dead-line set in the McCleary case.

In addition, a $100,000-a-day fine levied by justices in August continues to pile up. Sanctions are nearing $13 million.

Any notion those sanctions will push lawmakers toward a more rapid conciliation hasn’t occurred as some lawmakers, including a

couple members of the McCleary 8, think the Supreme Court exceeded its authority. There is resistance to any action perceived as placating justices.

“Our focus has been on doing the right thing for the education system not on responding to the Supreme Court,” said Rep. Chad Magendanz, R-Issaquah. “The fines are not really a fine. No one will drop a bill to pay the fine.”

Though the group is not “fix-ated on the fine issue, there are members, and I am one of them, that would like us to be out of con-tempt,” said Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-Bainbridge Island.

To recap, the McCleary deci-sion dealt with the entire tab for the basic education of a million students.

Lawmakers and Gov. Jay Inslee figured out how to spend billions of additional dollars on things like supplies, all-day kindergarten, smaller class sizes and buses in the last two state budgets.

But they are still wrestling with how to end the reliance on local property tax dollars to pay teach-ers, principals and staff. It will require a new method of compen-sating school employees with state funds. That will cost money and could see some residents paying new or higher taxes.

The Democrat-controlled House and Republican-run Senate couldn’t find a solution in this year’s record-setting 176 days of session. And their leaders don’t plan on finding one in 2016 — an election year session — either.

Since September, the work group, with help from two of Inslee’s top aides, is deciding what information must be gathered next year so lawmakers are able to take some tough votes in 2017.

They are not negotiating levy rates and salaries but a timeline for collecting data, explained House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington

“If we could agree on a plan we could act early in session,” he pre-dicted. “It shouldn’t be that hard.”

But it has been so far.

Plan to fund schools will have to wait until next year

Gwen, Deb and me.

President Obama’s signature on the Every Student Succeeds Act, a bipartisan bill crafted through the leadership of Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and others, represents a victory for all of us who care deeply about meeting the needs of our students and their families.

The ESSA replaces the flawed standards of its predecessor, No Child Left Behind, which set academic standards that most school districts could not possi-bly achieve. As a consequence, Marysville and many other dis-tricts have been required to send out yearly notifications that their schools were “failing” when that

clearly wasn’t the case.

The new ESSA system is better for our kids. It builds on innovation – something we take pride in

here in Marysville - in measuring school quality. At the same time, it ensures that there is account-ability to provide resources for the our most at-risk students, includ-ing required action to improve student learning in the lowest-performing schools and schools in which any subgroup of students is

consistently underperforming. Teachers, parents and students

alike know that schools are much more than a test score. The new law requires states to use other indicators of student achievement and school quality, such as student engagement, access to and com-pletion of advanced coursework, and school climate and safety.

States will still be required to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school. But states will no lon-ger have to tie teacher evaluations to student outcomes. What’s more, the framework allows for the use of nationally recognized tests at

the high school level, with state permission. So a district could, in theory, use the SAT or ACT as its high school test, instead of the traditional state exam.

In Marysville, we are grateful for Rep. Rick Larsen’s inclusion in the bill of a provision to pro-vide timely payments of “Impact Aid” to school districts that serve large numbers of military families and tribes. This will ensure the annual federal Impact Aid grant that Marysville qualifies for will continue to be available.

The new ESSA also includes funding for another program vital to our District, the 21st Century

Community Learning Centers program, which pays for after-school programs at Liberty and Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary.

We are deeply appreciative to our federal legislators — Sens. Murray and Maria Cantwell, and Reps. Susan DelBene and Larsen, for their support of ESSA on behalf of our students and their families. I want to thank our Marysville and Tulalip communities for your continued support of our schools this year. Happy holidays.

ARLINGTON — Shoppers at this year’s Toy Store for families in need no longer had to ascend three flights of stairs to browse through the selection.

While Tina Davis and her fellow Toy Store organizers deeply appreciate the use of the Arlington American Legion Post 76 building in previous years, the fact that the Arlington Boys & Girls Club allowed families to shop on the ground floor Dec. 18 made a huge dif-ference. Davis estimated that the Toy Store served at least 700 children this year, up from roughly 600-plus last year, with donations of more than $7,800 in cash, checks and gift cards.

She credited virtually all the area banks with chip-ping in, and cited business-es ranging from Arlington family Chiropractic to the

Grocery Outlet for staging toy drives.

The Stillaguamish Tribe supplied $1,400 and 50 gifts, while the Stillaguamish Athletic Club presented 62 toys and 558 gift cards.

Arlington Hardware gave $500, while Arlington Rotary supplied 38 toys and 400 gift cards.

Not only did Walmart donate $1,500, but for every nine purchases made for the Toy Store, they gave the 10th one for free.

Symmetry Chiropractic generated $1,000, while Davis estimated that nearly $8,000 came from Environmental Abatement Services.

With so many contribu-tions, it took the Toy Store’s crew of 20 volunteers from Dec. 14 to set up the shop-ping area at the Boys & Girls Club, as well as to sort and move the toys from their storage at the Arlington

Legion building.Davis explained that

the Toy Store’s shoppers are referred by the Apple Preschool, the Community Resource Centers of Arlington and Darrington, the Department of Social and Health Services and the Arlington Community Food Bank.

“Rotary, the Stillaguamish Athletic Club and the Stillaguamish Tribe were new participants this year, and they did great,” Davis said. “We still want to raise awareness and help create a smoother path for families to use our services, but it’s a far cry from three years ago, when we were first figuring out how we’d pull all this off.”

Among the Toy Store’s targeted age and gender groups, older kids remain difficult to shop for, with older girls from 14-18 prov-ing to be the greatest chal-

lenge this year.“We’ve bought a lot of

wallets and purses, and then put gift cards in them,

so they can pick out what they’d like for themselves,” Davis said. “This commu-nity really wants to take

care of its kids. It’s all about letting these kids know that they community cares about them.”

L a k e w o o d boasts school of distinction

LAKEWOOD – At the Dec. 16 Lakewood School District board meet-ing, it recognized the staff at English Crossing Elementary School for

earning the title of a “2015 School of Distinction.”

Principal Bill Landry and his staff were given a School of Distinction banner.

Outstanding improve-ment in reading and math sustained over a five-year period is the reason that nine schools in the Northwest Educational

Service District received the award. The ninth annual award went to 92 schools statewide. The awards rec-ognize school staff, students and leaders who improve performance for all students over a sustained period of time.

The design principles of the awards have remained

unchanged. However, with the spring 2015 Smarter Balanced Assessments, some challenges were pre-sented in celebrating sus-tained improvement. One change that was made this year was the addition of 4-year and 5-year gradua-tion rates for high schools. It was also determined to

use percentile ranks (nor-malized data) over five years in ELA and math for elementary and middle school awards.

“I am excited and hon-ored to be celebrating this outstanding achieve-ment with nine schools in our region,” NW ESD Superintendent Jerry

Jenkins said. “Teachers and leaders in our districts are working tirelessly to build better systems and provide a first-rate education for every child, every day. This award recognizes the benefit of that sustained hard work over several years, which is a tremendous accomplish-ment.”

MARYSVILLE — Single mom Cally Ann Lewis needed to buy Christmas presents not only for her two daughters, ages 6 and 8, but also her 3-year-old granddaughter, whom she’s also raising.

“This Toy Store is just a blessing,” she said, as vol-unteers guided her through the shopping area of The Grove Church Dec. 17.

As she signed people in to go shopping, Rita Henry estimated that the Marysville Toy Store is on track to serve an estimated 350 families and more than 1,000 children this year.

After Dunn Lumber sold the building that’s served as the Red Curtain Arts Center, Henry and her fellow Toy Store volunteers were faced with the prospect of not having a space where fami-lies in need could shop for holiday presents, until The Grove Church stepped in.

“Not only has the church

supplied numerous volun-teers of their own, but they also did all the signage for this event,” Henry said. “We have more volunteers this year than we’ve ever had.”

In addition to the 20-plus volunteers from the church, and the nearly 30 volun-teers from the Marysville Community Food Bank’s Toy Store Committee, rep-resentatives of the local

Kiwanis, ECEAP and Head Start, and the Marysville Police Department, were on site Dec. 16-17, with police ensuring that the church’s parking spaces were used properly.

Those volunteers were needed to move in and sort all the toys and other gift items Dec. 14-15, as well as to prepare the space and make it presentable for shoppers.

Henry estimated that the Toy Store received $15,000

in financial donations this year, and couldn’t even begin to guess at how many toys and other gift items they got. The city of Marysville and the Marysville Fire District were the two larg-est financial contributors, although Henry admitted that she’s not sure which of the two would qualify for first or second place. Third place definitely goes to HomeStreet Bank for its contributions.

“The firefighters’ fill-the-

boot collection drive goes to us, and that’s one of the larg-est sources of our monies,” Henry said, adding that “a good number of Marysville businesses” have chipped in between $500 to $1,000 each. “And the police even did a winter coat drive for us.”

Perhaps the most chal-lenging age and gender demographic to shop for this year has been girls aged 8-12 — “Teens are usually the hardest,” Henry said — to the point that the Toy

Store Committee is consid-ering breaking that up into separate age categories.

“On the younger end, they want things that are more for little girls, but on the older end, they’d regard those sorts of presents as immature,” said Henry, before she praised the church and the community as a whole for their gen-erosity. “We hope we can use these facilities again next year. They’ve just been great.”

As leaders of nonprof-its, Brandon Wilson and Suzanne West know how tough it is to raise money through donations.

So they are among 342 people and organizations in Marysville and 243 in Arlington are seeking finan-cial help from the public through the internet’s GoFundMe site.

Wilson, general man-ager of the Living Room coffee house, and West, executive director of the Sarvey Wildlife Center in Arlington, are both trying to raise money to fix up their facilities.

Coffee shopBecause of a miscom-

munication with the health department, the Living Room had to almost shut down after eight months of operation because it lacked necessary permits and needed some upgrades.

At the time, “We were just making enough to keep the lights on,” Wilson said.

For about five weeks, they could only sell drip coffee and packaged food. They almost went out of business.

A GoFundMe site was set up, and “we were blown away by their generosity,” Wilson said. In five months, 47 people donated $3,680, and the business had not even been open a year.

The neighboring Hillside Church and community helped with funds and vol-unteers to remodel half the kitchen, put in a sink and plumb under the floor.

The updates are done, but the bill paying isn’t.

“We’re trying to catch up, like on rent. We had some difficult choices to make on which bills to pay and not pay,” Wilson said.

The all-volunteer staff, which works for tips only, and customers stuck with the business. The nonprofit helps its baristas get trained in return for asking them to work a few hours a week.

The Living Room is doing better, thanks to an adult coloring night that packs the house. They also offer jazz band and open microphone nights.

“It’s something to do, a place to go to hang out,” Wilson said.

Wildlife centerMeanwhile, in Arlington,

Sarvey has received $2,069 for repairs from 35 donors in the past two months. The nonprofit started in 1981

and is in need of upgrades after all those years. The center needs a new roof, major flooring renovations and a special bathtub for animals.

Sarvey has regular donors who help it keep going year after year, which costs about $325,000 annually, West said.

“We wanted to find a way

to reach out to new donors,” for the upgrades, she added.

They put on video on GoFundMe.com on Sarvey’s program, which is “Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release.”

“It has generated brand-new interest,” West said, adding, “How do you get it to go viral?”

Except for a Fish and Wildlife grant every two

years totaling about $13,000, the nonprofit center relies only on donations.

“It’s not like we’re sitting on a pile of cash,” West said.

How site startedBased in San Diego

and Menlo Park, CA, GoFundMe was launched on May 10, 2010, and has

become the world’s No. 1 fundraising site for personal causes. Millions of people

10 THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLEGLOBE December 26, 2015SPORTS

BY BRANDON [email protected]

ARLINGTON — He’s missed two dual meets and two tournaments but Arlington junior wrestler Cooper McAuslen is now eligible and has won his last two matches by pin both in a double dual Dec. 16.

The first pin was against Mount Vernon’s River Greenwood in one minute, 33 seconds and then he eas-ily defeated Snohomish’s Mel Miller in 48 seconds.

“I haven’t wrestled any-one this year but my team-

mates, so that was nice,” he said.

McAuslen made sure to stay in shape during his pending eligibility. For that, and since he’s come back from adversity after plac-ing fifth in state last year, he is the Arlington Times-Marysville Globe Athlete of the Week.

He was having trouble with a course earlier in the season, but with his grades up, McAuslen is back on track with the intent of tak-ing the state title.

“It feels good. I’m happy

that I’m able to keep it up,” he said.

McAuslen is a promis-ing wrestler on the team, assistant coach Ben Mendro said.

He is ranked second in state in the 152-pound weight class.

McAuslen also has a pas-sion — racing dirt bikes.

He does that mostly in the summer when its dry, but also in the winter some-times.

“I think I’m better at wrestling, but I think dirt biking is more fun,” he said.

There’s the obvious thrill

of competing and winning in sports, and competitive dirt biking is no differ-ent, but McAuslen says he enjoys all aspects of driv-ing through trails, going off jumps, races and even prac-ticing.

“I think the practicing can be just as fun as racing,” he said.

“With dirt biking, both [competing and practicing] is fun.”

Though dirt biking is a motor-sport, its just as physically rigorous, even helping his conditioning for wrestling, he said.

“It seems easy to ride but it takes a lot of endurance,” he said.

“You’re using your whole body the whole time.”

He races at a track in Monroe and goes around the state to ride on trails.

Every year, he even goes to Washougal for Camp Rev — a professional camp that ex-pros conduct.

One of his favorite rid-ers is 450cc class Monster Energy Supercross cham-pion and American Motorcyclist Association 450 Motocross Champion Ryan Dungey.

McAuslen started wres-tling when he was 6, but began dirt biking before that.

He wants to continue dirt biking but he’ll “wait and see for wrestling,” he said. It’s harder to continue college wrestling, he said, because of the programs that go along with it.

After high school, McAuslen wants to attend Arizona State University or Texas Christian University to study pyrotechnics or building demolition.

“That’d be a fun job,” he said.

M-ville swimmers, divers place in loss

The GlobeMARYSVILLE – When

people have items stolen, they never really think they will get them back. But some local residents may be in for a Christmas surprise.

Detectives with the North Snohomish County Property Crimes Unit recovered a large cache of stolen property Dec. 16. Recovered items include: a laptop, jewelry, cattle horns and car keys, on the agen-cy’s Instagram account.

The property was recov-ered after detectives served a warrant on 40-year-old Jesse Averhart, who was staying a Marysville hotel. Averhart had an out-standing Department of Correction warrant and is a suspect in identity theft.

When detectives entered the hotel room to take Averhart into custody, they reportedly found the room full of miscellaneous stolen property, as well as evidence of financial fraud, including identity theft and forgery.

Averhart was booked into the Marysville Jail on the outstanding warrants. Other charges are pending.

“Property crimes directly impact our communities, creating a threat to our sense of security and the quality of life,” detective Glen DeWitt said.

The property crimes unit was launched early this year as collaboration between the sheriff ’s office and the police departments of Marysville, Lake Stevens and the Stillaguamish Tribe. The unit is supported by the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Together with a crime

analyst, they collaborate to track down and prosecute the most prolific thieves in the county. The unit

focuses on crimes such as burglary, major theft, fraud and trafficking in stolen property, as well as crimes

that stem from these types of incidents. The unit oper-ates out of the Marysville Police Department. If you

think the property is yours, contact DeWitt at [email protected]. Proof of ownership will be required.

The items can be seen on the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office Instagram account.

have raised more than $1 billion in the past year.

In Marysville, people are asking for money for causes ranging from helping with medical expenses to helping “me buy nice clothes.”

Other requests ask for dona-tions to pay for or attend funerals while another asks for a BMW to “bring me women.”

Other accounts ask for money for band, choir and sports team trips.

Still other requests seek money for things most people would pay for on their own, such as a wed-ding, honeymoon and vacations.

Others want help paying rent, car-repair bills, moving costs, vet bills, a 3-D printer and buying food.

Some of the sites are very suc-cessful.

One, a memorial for Zoe Galasso, one of the victims in the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck

High School last year, has received $29,824 from 500 donors.

One for Emily Fletcher, who has brain cancer, has received $10,159 from 139 donors in seven months.

And Lyndsie Jeske, who was severely injured in a fireworks accident, has had 39 donors give $1,995, also over five months.

Some of the requests are small, such as for a birthday present; some cost hundreds of dollars, such as for driver’s education and a lawyer for a paternity test; and still other requests are quite costly, such as for studying abroad and business startup funds.

In Arlington, the most suc-cessful site by far is that of Seth Jefferds, a volunteer firefighter who lost his wife, granddaughter and house in the Oso slide last year.

His Mudslide Recovery Fund has raised $57,496 from 611 peo-ple over the past 20 months.

Other requests ask for help pay-ing for dentures, glasses and a new oven knob.

ARLINGTON — When Tori Anderson was in her junior and senior years at Arlington High School, she volunteered regularly at the Arlington Community Food Bank.

She’s now a freshman at Eastern Washington University, but when the food bank began its Christmas dinner bas-ket distribution Dec. 18, Anderson was on her winter break, so she swung by the food bank to help out again.

“I had some extra time on my hands,” Anderson said. “Besides, I had a good expe-

rience volunteering here before, so I wanted to come back for more.”

Anderson helped serve a community whose families in need are changing, said Jerrie Inman, who’s on the food bank’s board.

“We’re giving out more baskets to younger, smaller families,” said Inman, who reported that 325 families signed up for Christmas baskets this year.

Inman listed the food bank’s clients for 2015 as including 156 infants aged 2 and younger, 2,000-plus children aged 3-18, and its largest demographic, adults aged 19-54, num-

bering 2,654. With seniors aged 65 and older adding up to 1,587, that comes out to around 6,400 clients, of which the food bank serves about 2,000 on a monthly basis.

“It’s hard when the fami-lies are smaller, because you can’t split up individual cans of food,” Inman said. “Everett has so many food banks that it can actually divvy up its clients’ demo-graphics to each one.”

Inman noted that Arlington families’ needs often have subtle shadings.

“In terms of homeless families, we’re seeing fewer who are living under bridges and more who are sleep-

ing on other people’s couch-es,” Inman said. “We’re also differentiating between how we serve younger people versus seniors. Our seniors love to cook, so while most of our other clients prefer

meals that are pre-made to an extent, our seniors appre-ciate having flour, sugar and baking mix. We gear our services to our clientele.”

Inman acknowledged that the food bank was especially fortunate in the

donations it received this year, between the annual “Santa Run” generating 7,600 pounds of food and the Safeway Northwest Harvest gaining the Smokey Point Safeway as a partner, to supply more than 1,000 shopping bags full of food, in addition to the Arlington Safeway’s 900 bags.

Looking to next year, Inman credited fellow food bank board member Amy Butchart with stepping up to write grant applications to fund the purchase of a van, which would aid pro-grams such as its “Meals ’Til Monday” for hun-gry students.

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School again hosted the annual Northwest Drill and Rifle Competition Dec. 12, with the AHS Air Force and Marysville Naval Junior ROTC cadets distinguish-ing themselves in a field that included five other high schools and more than 400 students.

Retired Air Force Maj. Mike Blue, senior aero-space science instructor for the Arlington program, reported that Cadet Amber Blankenship scored third in the Armed Drill Team Commander category, while Cadet J’Lanaye Julien ranked second in the “Iron Woman” Female Physical Fitness Scores.

Arlington’s other place-ments included fourth in Color Guard 1, seventh in Color Guard 2, fifth in Unarmed Drill Team, fourth in Unarmed Drill Team Commander, fifth in Armed Drill Team, fourth in Dual Unarmed Exhibition Drill, sixth and 10th in Iron Woman and ninth in Iron Man.

Arlington’s Physical Strength Team of Julien, Cloey Archey, Hallie Williams, Joseph Shipley and Cameron Freeman

came in third. Blue explained that PSTs are either three men and two women or three women and two men, which means that a minimum of 22 women competed. All of the Arlington women finished in the top 10.

For Air Rifle Marksmanship, Arlington’s top finisher was Cody Barschaw, who ranked 19th out of 64 competitors.

Blue is just as proud of his cadets’ service outside the classroom and competition floor, noting that they’ve clocked more than 300 hours of community service for 12 local organizations in 2015.

Navy Chief Kathy Wilde, naval science instructor for the Marysville program, had plenty to crow about with her own cadets’ per-formances.

Among Marysville’s first-place scorers were Cadet Tyler Archambeault in the Individual Armed category, the Unarmed Drill Team led

by Cadet Micah Adriano and the Armed Drill Team led by Cadet Sydney Vidal. Adriano and Vidal also won first place in the Unarmed and Armed Drill Team Commander categories, respectively.

Marysville took second place for Color Guard 1, led by Battalion Commanding Officer Cadet Tiffany Johnstone, and for cadets Lyndon Gonzales and C.J. Pamintuan’s performance in Unarmed Duals.

Cadets Fitz Varias and Joshua Docuyanan earned Marysville third place in Unarmed Duals, while Battalion Operations Officer Cadet Lester Flores led Marysville’s Color Guard 2 to another third-place score. Cadet Joshua Nye led Marysville to its first-ever third-place score in the Air Rifle Teams cat-egory.

Out of 64 shooters, Marysville Cadet Carol Kovalenko ranked fifth, and

Marysville had seven shoot-ers in the top 25.

Wilde pointed out that Marysville’s cadets are drawn from seven high schools, not just Marysville-Pilchuck.

“All of the competitors looked amazing, and it was evident how hard everyone has been working,” Wilde said. “This was the first of our meets for the season, and we could not be more excited.”

Marysville’s next meet is at Oak Harbor Jan. 16.

“We know we are com-peting against the best lead-ers from these schools,” Wilde said. “We are looking forward to the challenge.”

This December, the Marysville cadets have vol-unteered for the Salvation Army, the Marysville Community Food Bank, Providence Hospital and the Lights of Christmas.

MARYSVILLE – Going on a music trip to Disneyland to perform during spring break is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Unfortunatley, it is something many Marysville-Pilchuck High School students can’t afford.

To help them, the M-P Band Boosters are putting on various fund-raisers. Students, and/or their parents, can work at the events to help pay the $850 needed for each band member.

For example, M-P is working at one of the concession stands at Everett Silvertips hockey games. If a student and both parents worked one hockey game, they would get $150 toward the trip. Some already have paid for the trip that way.

Band Booster parent Brian Patrick said it’s not that hard to “knock it out

and get it paid for.”He said about 90 students plan to

go. Some are in choir, marching and jazz band. They will do live perfor-mances and be part of a parade. The group had to try out and was picked by Disney to perform their songs. M-P likes to go on such trips once every four years.

Other fund-raisers are coming up.Students will be selling tickets for

a breakfast at Applebees Jan. 30-31. The kids will be doing the serving, possibly in Disney costumes.

Value Village is having an ongoing fundraiser with some clothing sales going to the cause.

The students sold cookie dough and entertainment books to raise funds. A Valentine’s Day dance also is in the planning stages. A gofund-me.com account also is set up.

Tooting horns for Disney trip


Part of the M-P jazz band has formed a group called, The Dominant 7, which performs for money for the trip.
