ARLINGTON – “The World’s Friendliest Casino” at Angels of the Winds north of Arlington now has “The World’s Friendliest Hotel.”

That is according to Jeanine Russell, one of the Stillaguamish tribal mem-bers who stayed at the $27 million hotel on its opening night Dec. 15. “The employ-ees are so accommodating,” she said. “And it’s absolutely gorgeous.”

General Manager Travis O’Neil said things went so well that the hotel planned to open for business Friday, Dec. 19. Cost of the 125 rooms over five floors rang-es from $114 to $279 a night.

LaVaun Tatro, whose house used to be where the smoke shop now is, said it was an honor to stay there opening night. “We’ve come a long way,” she said of the tribe. “I’m very proud. Everything is so nice.”

Iris Meyer said the hotel is fantastic. “It’s finally here,” she said. “They worked really hard for this. My dad would have loved to see it.”

Stephanie Blount said she does a lot of traveling, to Las Vegas up to three times a year, for example, and she said the hotel is top rate.

“The decor is both mod-ern and rustic,” she said, adding she enjoyed the fur-nishings, artwork and pho-tographs of nature in the nearby area. “It doesn’t feel like a casino hotel to me.”

O’Neil said it was very important for the elders to stay there the first night.

“Those were their hous-es” that were torn down to make room for the hotel-casino, he said.

The Stillaguamish got into the gaming business later than most tribes, open-ing the casino 10 years ago. The tribe didn’t have enough land for a casino until the tribal council decided to clear out housing in the early 2000s where the casino, hotel, gas station and smoke shop now sit.

O’Neil said the hotel is ready, except for some minor decor additions. So while online reservations won’t start until Jan. 2, 2015, the staff is prepared to go.

Only one staff member is from the tribe. O’Neil said he would like more, but they all have other careers as the Stillaguamish were late join-ing the gaming industry. The 280 tribal members are spread out all over the country. Blount, Russell and Meyer represent three gen-

erations of the tribe who now live in Alaska and came down just for the opening.

O’Neil wanted to empha-size that all of the construc-tion is done not only at the hotel but also in the sur-rounding area, so traffic is no longer a problem.

“We had construction on top of construction,” he said. “It’s easier access now.”

One item that has not been built yet is a pool, which will go in to the west of the casino. But that work won’t start until spring or summer, O’Neil said.

The hotel offers a meeting room for up to 16 people. There is also a workout room, although O’Neil is still waiting on the weights.

The tribe had around 30 employees in the mid-1990s. Now, tribal administration employs 250 and the casino, gas station and smoke shop employ another 500. The casino added 57 employees to staff the hotel.

BY KIRK [email protected]

ARLINGTON — Sara McCarter has two daughters, ages 7 and 9. She and her husband are both unemployed, and while he’s been looking for work, health issues have prevented her from doing the same.

Although they receive a small amount from her Supplemental Security Income, they’ve lost their house and have

been looking for other lodging.

“If it wasn’t for this, I wouldn’t be able to give my girls any Christmas at all,” McCarter said of Operation Christmas Hope, a joint project of the Arlington American Legion and Arlington Community Food Bank.

McCarter’s fam-ily is one of more than 600 that was referred to the toy store in the Legion Post Hall on

Dec. 18 by not only the food bank, but also Arlington Kids’ Kloset, the Apple Preschool, the Department of Social and Health Services, and the Darrington Family Support and Resource Center.

“We’ve had lots of people this year who were both directly and indirectly affected by the Oso slide in some way,”

Santa shows just how cool he is at the Holiday Tour of Lights, which runs the next two weekends.


MARYSVILLE — Hundreds of families turned out for the first weekend of this year’s Holiday Tour of Lights at the Cedarcrest Golf Course Dec. 12-13.

High winds saw the first day cancelled Dec. 11.

The Holiday Tour of Lights returns to the Cedarcrest Golf Course from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 18, and the Fridays and Saturdays of Dec. 19-20 and 26-27.

For Chris Strovas, the light show has become a family tradition.

His six kids enjoyed their first outing so much last year that they were joined by nieces, nephews and grandparents this year.

“Beyond the fact that

the kids all love the lights, it’s something fun we can do together, as a family,” Strovas said.

“We can all look forward to coming out, enjoying hot cocoa and roasting marsh-mallows before we go.”

The golf course served free cups of hot chocolate, as its fire pit bustled with attendees making their own s’mores, which Marysville mom Bradi Conner appre-ciated as she and her four kids waited in line.

“This way, they weren’t bored with waiting,” said Conner, who first heard

about the event when she attended the Sept. 13 Touch-A-Truck, another Marysville tradition.

“Everyone’s been really nice. If it wasn’t for this, we’d just be sitting on the couch at home right now.”

Fellow first-time attend-ee Candy O’Donnell of Arlington was taking her four grandkids out for the night.

“We usually go to Stanwood’s holiday lights, but we saw this on Facebook, and it seemed closer by,” O’Donnell said.

“We wanted to try some-thing a little different. I like the reflections of the light on the water, and the kids are looking forward to see-ing Santa, but the highlight of this day has been no rain,” she added.

Light show draws hundreds

said Tina Davis, one of the coordinators of Operation Christmas Hope.

The community has responded to this level of need with strong support.

Every shopper, regardless how many kids they have, is not allowed to leave with-out taking a board game and a bobble-head doll, and they’re all given a chance to enter a raffle for three children’s bicycles that were donated.

“People love to buy things for little kids, but we usu-ally have to shop for the older ones,” Davis said.

“Fortunately, we got plenty of gift cards to do the job.”

In addition to Arlington Hardware & Lumber donat-ing $600 in gift cards to its own store, people have bought gift cards for Starbucks, Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond, for an esti-mated total of $1,000.

“When I was fourteen, my dad was diagnosed with cancer, and back then, it took months for Social Security to start,” Davis said. “That year, our fam-ily received boxes full of food and gifts. When the opportunity opened up for me to coordinate this event last year, I took it, because I wanted to give back. If we can show these kids that

the community cares about them, maybe they’ll do the same.”

While Operation Christmas Hope has received donations of $1,500 from Walmart and $1,000 from Union Bank, Kathy Marquez has been one of its largest individual donors for 15 years. This year, as she did last year, Marquez will be donating around $7,000.

“It just breaks my heart,” Marquez said. “I always want every kid to have a toy for Christmas. I moved up north a few years ago, but I lived in Arlington for years. It’s a small community, so it’s harder to get donations here.”

MARYSVILLE — The first day of this year’s Christmas meal distribu-tions at the Marysville Community Food Bank held steady with previous holiday seasons, and so have the needs of the families that it serves.

Food Bank President Dell Deierling reported that 225 clients were served more than 12,000 pounds of food on Dec. 16, by 77 volun-teers from the Marysville Sunrise and Noon Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, mission-aries from the local stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sailors from the USS Nimitz, Boy Scouts, and students from the Marysville-Pilchuck and Getchell high schools.

Last year, the food bank served 155 clients on its first day, but that was a Monday. On the Tuesday of last year, it served 250.

As Deierling looked ahead to the remaining two days of Christmas meal dis-tributions on Dec. 19 and 22, he took stock of which items the food bank needs most heading into the New Year. Canned fruit, beans

and corn, as well as tuna, chili and tomato sauce, are all in demand, as are Size 4 and 5 diapers.

At the same time, Deierling praised the com-munity for coming together to assist each other, even more than he’s seen in pre-vious years, as well as with assisting in new ways, such as the Kiwanis providing coffee and hot chocolate to waiting families.

“That’s such a nice touch to lift the spirits of folks,” Deierling said. “One gentle-man called me, in desperate need of food for his young son and himself, and made a special trip to the food bank before hours, to just get enough food for break-fast and lunch. When I saw him again, later that day, he’d landed him a much-needed job. Taking care of the basic need of food can move people into a position where they can focus on the

next level of priorities to better their lives.”

Besides food and money, Deierling’s biggest request for 2015 is for more vol-unteers, ideally for the 8:45-11:30 a.m. shifts on Mondays and Fridays.

“I think you’ll really enjoy the experience,” Deierling said. “The need for help-ing others is year-round, so as spring approaches, think about planting extra veggies to bring to the food bank, in support of our ‘Giving Gardens’ program.”

Deierling likewise encouraged donations to the “Food For Thought” program, which serves more than 300 grade school children in Marysville, who would otherwise be at risk of not getting enough food to get them through the weekends.

“It’s truly amazing the amount of good people do in this town,” Deierling said.

ARLINGTON – This time of year, because of Christmas gift buying, many people have buyer’s remorse.

But Arlington City Council Member Marilyn Oertle is having voter’s remorse.

Despite reservations about giving city employ-ees such large pay increases, Oertle voted to approve the budget Dec. 15.

Oertle, who has been on the council for 15 years, said she felt pressured to OK the budget because of Christmas coming up, and it needed to be passed by the end of the year.

“I’m concerned the large salaries are too high for our city,” she said, adding most people in town make clos-er to $50,000 a year than $150,000.

“I was torn. We waited so long” to vote, she said. “I didn’t want to hash it out in the last hours.”

She said she decided to vote with the majority because she was assured by

Mayor Barbara Tolbert and other city officials that Arlington would address the entire pay structure after the first of the year.

Oertle said she wants the council to start looking at the budget in the spring

instead of the fall.

“It’s all done in a short period of time,” she said, add-ing city staff was

unable to get her all of the information she needed.

For example, Oertle asked for comparable wages of city officials in towns similar in size to Arlington. She also never received itemized information on exactly what the pay raises would be. Both are common requests in budget and salary nego-tiations.

Arlington communi-cations director Kristin Banfield said in an email to the Arlington Times that the salary increases are within the pay ranges set up by the city. So the raises

are actually standard merit increases.

“The council and mayor work for taxpayers, not to stuff the staff ’s pocket-books,” Oertle said Dec. 16, adding city government is “broken.”

Oertle said it’s not that staff doesn’t deserve any increase, but this is “out of control.”

Oertle said it bothered her that the city increased property taxes to pay for services, not for raises. And she could not even find out what the city administrator was going to make. Oertle said previously she had to find that out on the street.

Oertle wasn’t the only council member against the budget. Debora Nelson previously also had some objections. But like Oertle, she voted with the major-ity. She was unavailable for additional comment.

Tolbert had said previ-ously that the city actually will be spending less on sal-aries than in 2014. That is because the police chief and fire chief are now combined

IN OUR VIEW

When a city wants to give its workers raises, it is wise to give the public as much information as possible to get buy-in from the people who pay the taxes to support the government. Most cities know the backlash is not worth it, and being open and honest pays off.

The city of Arlington apparently did not get that memo. That city’s politicians did not do a good job of playing politics during recent budget discussions.

Council members Marilyn Oertle and Debora Nelson were on target last week, asking for exact numbers for the raises and wanting to know what cities of similar size pay their workers.City staff did not respond to their concerns, but it should have.

The city would only say that the raises are within the pay scale set for each job. While that is true, the council – repre-senting taxpayers – has a right to know how much a position was paid last year, and how much that position will be paid in 2015. The council was told that $161,000 less would be spent on salaries because of staff reductions. But maybe the council wanted to spend at least some of those savings elsewhere.

It is not like we don’t think city employees in Arlington deserve a raise, especially if they haven’t received one in years or they are taking on new or additional duties. It is just that we believe taxpayers deserve to know what is going on. By not being open about it, that makes us skeptical. Oertle could not even find out how much the city administrator would make, having to hear about it on the street.

It is a shame Oertle and Nelson didn’t hold strong to their objections. They voted with the majority and approved the budget this week. Oertle said there wasn’t time to fight it because of the holiday and the looming Dec. 31 deadline for budget passage.

One good thing that should come about from this is the city will start discussing the budget in the spring instead of fall so the council, and taxpayers, will have more time to get the answers they deserve. Also, Oertle said she was promised that the city’s entire pay structure will be looked at in 2015.

That would be a good idea. If the state’s governor makes $170,000 a year, how can the city administrator in Arlington make $154,000 annually. Oertle said it best, “The council and mayor work for taxpayers, not to stuff the staff ’s pocketbooks.”

We all would love to decide our own raises. But government has checks and balances for a reason.

Taxpayers should decide city raises

Last month the City Council approved the city’s biennial budget for 2015-2016. It was the culmi-nation of a lot of planning and work done by the administration and council during the past sev-eral months. Special thanks to the Finance Department for its count-less hours preparing the plan. The city’s financial condition continues to strengthen—the result of a recov-ering economy, growing community and careful financial planning. The budget maintains financial pru-dence and discipline, while allow-ing progress on strategic initiatives important to our community. The two-year budget encourages us to anticipate oppor-tunities and chal-lenges in the years ahead. The longer-term planning will further enhance our financial stability and allow us to bet-ter serve our com-munity.

Looking forward We must make progress on

several initiatives. These include: solutions to train traffic, downtown revitalization, street maintenance, replacement and expansion of aging facilities, and promoting public safety and security. We are seeking state and federal funding but recog-nize many of these challenges will need city resources.

The increased traffic from coal and oil trains have hampered mobility in Marysville. This budget provides funding for the design and permitting of an interchange at SR529 and I-5 to improve traf-fic flow as well as provide a critical access point unimpaired by trains. The construction has a pricetag of up to $50 million.

Downtown revitalization and waterfront access has been a prior-ity for years. The city has continued to assemble properties and pursue cleanup to enable shoreline access and redevelopment on these sites. We have worked on attracting peo-ple into downtown through civic improvements and development of recreational opportunities. This budget continues this initiative with progress on trails, downtown spaces and property assembly and cleanup.

Street maintenance is a clear pri-ority for citizens. Last April, voters approved a Transportation Benefit District, funded by a .2 percent increase in the sales tax within the city that will be dedicated to street maintenance and improvements. This budget provides additional resources for maintaining our rights of way in order to promote safety, mobility and street image within our community.

Our city facilities are in need of attention. Most dire is the Public Safety building, built 27 years ago with a community 1/10th our size. The building provides space for Police, Fire, Investigations, jail, records and evidence. The budget

includes funds to determine future needs of this facility.

HighlightsHere are some of the key initia-

tives in the budget that will enable us to advance our goals for eco-nomic development, transportation infrastructure and other key service priorities:

•Pavement preservation – $500,000.

-100th Street NE from State Avenue to 48th Drive NE

-67th Avenue NE from 88th Street NE to 100th Street NE

-60th Avenue NE from Grove Street to 93rd Place NE

-Sunnyside Blvd. from 51st Avenue NE to 52nd Street NE; and from 46th Street NE to 71st Avenue NE

-116th Street NE from State Avenue to 47th Drive NE

-128th Street NE from State Avenue to 43rd Avenue NE

-122nd Street NE from State Avenue to 38th Avenue NE

-Beach Avenue from Grove Street to Short Street

•Capital Facility Maintenance Plan - $300,000.

•Downtown revitalization - $150,000 to create a downtown and waterfront area that is a more vibrant, attractive and pedestrian-friendly for visitors and shoppers. The city will continue to improve infrastructure, fixtures, landscap-ing and signage, as well as support police and code enforcement mea-sures designed to make downtown more beautiful and crime-free.

•Code enforcement/Community cleanup - $30,000 for multiple cleanup activities deployed as part of Clean Sweep Week, a cost-effective, community cleanup event last year that rallied volunteers, merchants and city employees for a once-over spring cleaning.

•Park trails construction - $100,000 for a future extension of Bayview Trail

•Consulting services - $150,000 for analysis of specific city services, including courts and jail, to review current practices for efficiency and cost effectiveness.

•Economic development - $50,000 to expand services and con-tact to the business community.

•Transportation - $1.4 million to continue the design of an inter-change at SR529 and I-5; $7.726 million for improvements along State Avenue, 67th, 88th and vari-ous locations throughout the city. These funds, along with the TBD funding of more than $3 million for the biennium, provides for a sub-stantial boost to address the city’s transportation needs.

Our emphasis on creating a regional manufacturing, light industry job center in the Smokey Point area is a strong long-term endeavor. We signed a joint resolu-tion between Marysville, Arlington and the Tulalip Tribes supporting regional coordination of a manu-facturing and industrial center to

support The Boeing Co. and manufacturing and supplier expan-sion in north Snohomish County. The Smokey Point area is master planned with the potential to cre-ate thousands of jobs in aerospace, technology and other light industry and manufacturing. In 2015-16 the city will be working to identify industry needs in order to establish a stronger relationship with our business partners.

The completion of key transpor-tation projects in 2014 assisted with improving driver and pedestrian safety while easing some conges-tion.

Key transportation projects com-pleted in 2014:

•Signalization at 53rd and SR528•Pavement Preservation/overlays-108th Street NE from 51st

Avenue NE to 67th Avenue NE-Grove Street from 73rd St. NE to

79th Dr. NE-State Avenue from 88th Street

NE to 92nd Street NE-44th Avenue NE from Grove

Street to 76th Street NETransportation remains one of

our top priorities, and we con-tinue to maximize local resources to leverage outside funding from state and federal grant sources. Our engineers and project managers have established a track record of acquiring grants and using taxpayer resources to maintain streets and to construct improvements that will improve travel for residents and businesses.

SummaryThis spending plan seeks to

maintain our city’s status as a desir-able community in which to live, work and play while maintaining the sound economic foundation our citizens have come to expect. We are committed to prudent fiscal management, effective service deliv-ery, and providing our citizens with the highest quality of life possible.

-Jon Nehring is the mayor of Marysville.

under Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman and Chris Young has been appointed director of economic and com-munity development, as well as the head of the airport. Arlington will have 126.11 employees in 2015, compared with 128.9, a reduction of 2.69. That will drop payment for sala-ries 169,048, from $11.12 mil-lion to almost $10,952 million.

Oertle argues those savings could go to other needs, rather

than salary increases.Banfield’s email to The Times

says the city administrator who replaces Allen Johnson, who is retiring at the end of the year, will make $154,000. The city administrator in Marysville, a town three times its size, makes $161,000 a year. And the gov-ernor of the state makes just $170,000.

Other changes: Building Official to Community Development/Airport Director 6 percent raise; Assistant City Administrator moving to HR Director/ Communication has a 6 percent increase; and

Community Development Liaison to Permit Center Manager is up 4.3 percent.

Banfield’s email says when an employee is re-classified/promoted the pay increase nor-mally is about two steps, or 6 percent. In some cases the pay increase may exceed that due to the complexity of the job.

Following are various Arlington city officials and their monthly salaries. The pay rang-es are $8,262-$11,780, except where noted, according to the email.

SMOKEY POINT – Two Arlington resi-dents sustained minor injuries in an acci-dent on Smokey Point Boulevard Dec. 17.

A city crew clears a sidewalk of debris after a huge limb toppled a utility pole.

MARYSVILLE – The city of Marysville helped out residents who were hit by the wind storm Dec. 11.

Two city crews responded to calls or emails from residents who needed excess debris picked up from their property.

The crews started the project early Dec. 12, cutting up fallen trees on roads and sidewalks to try to keep them clear.

Dec. 15 they were on Cedar north of Grove where a huge limb had broken off

of a tree and knocked down a power pole. After the pole was replaced, crews came back to cut up the rest of the debris and haul it off to city property.

Once all of the debris is collected, it will be sent through a chipper.

Waste Management kept up its regular yard-waste pickup schedule, but city crews handled leftover debris up until Dec. 19.

When the effort ended, a huge pile of debris had formed near the lagoon.

ARLINGTON — Even after its Christmas meal distributions on Friday, Dec. 19, and Monday, Dec. 22, the Arlington Community Food Bank will still be in dire need of more volunteers to support its basic operations.

Food Bank President Sue Keezer pointed out that the nonprofit relies entirely on an unpaid volunteer staff to function, which can become especially challenging during the holidays.

“A lot of our volunteers are retired snow-birds, so either they head south for the winter, or they’re old enough that they can’t do heavy lifting,” said Keezer, who suffers from a bad back.

While Keezer would welcome volunteers who can lift up to 50 pounds, she added that the food bank could use help in a variety of positions.

“In addition to organizing and sorting through food donations at our warehouse, we could use more people to greet our clients and help them shop for what they

want,” Keezer said. She explained that vol-unteers escort clients through the aisles, allow them to choose their own items.

Keezer asked that prospective volunteers make a weekly commitment, even if it’s only for an hour or two at a time.

“You can help us set up and break down for one of our three food distribution times each week,” Keezer said. “You can also drive our truck to local grocery stores, or even just ride along to help load and unload the items that get picked up.”

The food bank distributes meal items at 19118 63rd Ave. NE in Arlington from noon to 1 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays, and from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesdays.

You can download a volunteer applica-tion form online at www.arlingtonwafood-bank.org or pick one up at its warehouse during distribution hours. Volunteers must pass a Washington state background check.

Amy Butchart, a member of the food bank’s board, reported that the nonprofit is on track to serve more than 5,000 clients in Arlington by the end of 2014.

ARLINGTON – An Arlington K9 police officer was involved in a two-car collision Dec. 17 en route to a domestic violence call.

Shortly before 9 p.m. the police car col-lided with another vehicle at the intersec-tion of State Route 531 and Smokey Point Boulevard, even though he had his lights

and siren on. Four people were transported to Cascade Valley Hospital in Arlington for evaluation, including the officer. All have been released. The officer’s K9 partner was transported to a veterinary clinic and released. Arlington police has requested Washington State Patrol to investigate.

ARLINGTON – This fall, Eagle Creek Elementary students joined the rest of the Arlington elementary schools participating in the Snohomish County Gear Up & Go! fitness program.

Arlington is taking the lead with more than one-third of its fifth-graders reg-istered and earning points. Eagle Creek Elementary is in first place in their par-ticipation and activity level.

Gear Up & Go! is a Snohomish County Health Leadership Coalition initia-

tive to encourage healthy habits in children. The vol-untary program provides Skords for free to partici-

pants. Skords can be worn on the wrist or ankle to measure activity level throughout the day.

Arlington school No. 1 ARLINGTON – Fifth-grade students

at Presidents Elementary heard a message from Sierra Sandison about what it is like to be diagnosed with Type I diabetes and how everyone has something about them that doesn’t measure up to the standards set by others.

Despite all that, on July 13, 2014, Sandison won the crown of Miss Idaho.

She talked about the anger she felt when she received the diagnosis. As a teenager, she went through a challenging time of not taking care of herself, which ended when she heard about Nicole Johnson, winner of the 1997 Miss America title, who also has diabetes. Ms. Johnson wore her insulin pump during the Miss America contest and is now an advocate for diabetes and has written three cookbooks.

Sandison said she was inspired by Johnson’s courageous approach to diabetes.

Sandison was then willing to wear her insulin pump openly. She expressed her desire to make a difference in the lives of children by being open about her diabetes. She told the story of a girl who approached her before a beauty pageant and asked about her insulin pump.

When Johnson found out the girl was also diabetic, she felt that even if she only made a difference in that one girl’s life and outlook, she had met her goal.

Sandison now speaks to children around the country, bringing the message that it is good to appreciate the difficult challenges in life because they help you become the person you want to become.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball team improved to 5-0, defeating Shorewood 69-47 Dec. 16.

The Tomahawks were unselfish in sharing the ball, and along with communi-cating on defense has led them to a winning season, M-P’s coach Bary Gould said.

“We often times pass up good shots for great ones,” Gould said. “I also like how balanced we are with mul-tiple guys able to step up and carry the scoring load on any given night.”

M-P junior Josh Bevan scored a game-high 26

points. It was also his second game sinking six 3-pointers.

“He is playing inspired basketball right now,” Gould said. “He’s a very special player who has worked hard to develop his range.”

Next week, M-P will be playing at the Mountlake Terrace Tournament

Monday, Dec. 29, and Tuesday, Dec. 30.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington Eagles boys bas-ketball team improved to 5-0, topping Mountlake Terrace 62-60 Dec. 16.

Snohomish County Council Member Ken Klein vowed Dec. 18 to fight for all of the $5.25 million request for the Stilly Valley Youth Project in Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2015 state budget.

The project would fund the expansion of the Arlington Boys & Girls

Club, including the addition of a technology center, the renovation of two ballfields and the addition of two new ballfields adjacent to the club, construction for a new skate park in Darrington and renovations to Old School Park, the construc-tion of new restroom facili-

ties at Darrington’s White Horse Community Park, and improvements to the Darrington School District’s facilities. “We are very excited to see improvements coming to recreational and athletic facilities throughout the Stillaguamish Valley,” Klein said.

A fire caused $300,000 in damage to a new home under construction in Marysville.

MARYSVILLE — A fire caused an estimated $300,000 damage to a two-story home under construc-tion in Marysville Dec. 13.

The fire was reported shortly after 5:15 a.m. in the 7300 block of 51st Avenue.

Firefighters arrived with-

in six minutes, Fire Marshal Tom Maloney said, adding it was brought under con-trol within 30 minutes.

Reports stated there was “a house on fire was fully involved”. Firefighters fought the blaze defensive-ly, protecting neighboring

properties, but one nearby house was damaged.

At the height of the inci-dent more than 26 firefight-ers battled the blaze. The fire is being investigated by Marysville fire and police and the Snohomish County fire marshal.

TULALIP — Members of the Marysville and Tulalip commu-nities came together in the wake of this year’s tragedies during the “Hope & Healing” candle cen-terpiece workshop at the Tulalip Tribes administration building Dec. 13.

Nikki Cleary, director of communications for the tribes, explained that this first-time event was inspired by the Oct. 24 Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting. Anita Rutherford, administrative assistant of the Tulalip Resort Casino, elaborated that they hoped the event could help people deal with other trag-edies, including the March 22 Oso slide.

“Lots of people have their own personal landslides that they’re dealing with, especially at this time of year, whether it’s put-ting food on the table or making enough money to pay the bills,” Rutherford said.

Cleary added: “A lot of times, we heal by taking action. The holi-days can be a stressful time anyway.”

The tribes’ forestry department worked with community partners, including the Snohomish County Master Gardeners, to harvest cedar, pine, spruce and holly branches for people to make into wreaths and table centerpieces.

“I like the branches that still have moss on them,” said Rutherford, who noted that half a dozen donated Christmas trees were

raffled off that day as well.Cleary credited the “healthy gardens” of

the Hibulb Cultural Center with providing support not only for this event, but also for the Marysville and Tulalip food banks as they prepare Christmas meals for clients.

“We’re not focused on the tragedies, but on healing as a community,” Rutherford said.

MARYSVILLE – The future is now for education in the Marysville School District. The district wants to move to the forefront in using technology in the classroom.

The district will pick among two finalists – eduro and Discovery Education – to help them do that. Both gave presentations to the school board this week.

Jeff Utecht of eduro said to get the most out of tech-nology the goal is to provide new learning experiences, not just rehash things the old way using technology.

Instead of teachers teach-ing all students the same thing, they will need to help students create projects that are personal learning expe-riences that they are pas-sionate about.

He gave an example about a student who loved

to skateboard, but didn’t like anything about school. By the time he was done with his project, he had improved his skills in research, math, presentation and more.

Getting teachers to do things differently is one of the biggest challenges. “It’s a shift in the mind of teach-ing,” he said. “It’s tough to get there. It’s a slow process.”

School Board member Pete Lundberg said, “They (students) will get it before the teacher does.”

Utecht agreed, adding students have grown up with technology. Teachers become facilitators, helping students learn what infor-

mation on the web is reli-able and things like that.

“Youtube might be the best education platform ever,” Utecht said.

He said eduro would help the district set up profes-sional learning communi-ties. Teachers would learn about what tools are avail-able and develop a philoso-phy on how to use them.

He said eduro offers 24-hour help, and 1.2 mil-lion teachers worldwide who share information. “We have one heck of a network,” he said. “It does not matter where we are on the planet.”

The company showed that by having the other five top

members of the company participating in the meeting via the internet. Utecht said even if one of them can’t be there physically, they can be there visually. “The internet is about connecting people and ideas,” he said.

Kim Cofino of Connecticut said most of the members work or have worked at international schools and that perspec-tive is important and would benefit students in Marysville. “The world is a global place,” she said, with different backgrounds.

Discovery Education is an older company with 10 years of experience. Its goal also is to transform teaching and learning, and to lead the district through its digi-tal transition. It offers more diversity in its educational

offerings, but its goal is the same – to inspire student achievement. Spokesman Todd Pellegrino said it works to collaborate and have quality interactions with clients.

Professional development for teachers is first and fore-most. “We teach the teach-ers before giving them the tools,” he said.

Toni Robinson, director of professional development for the company, said train-ing would take place over five years, compared with three for eduro. The dis-trict’s 450 teachers would be broken up into 150 taking the course each year.

Professional Learning Communities would be set up with teachers sharing information to learn from each other.

Meet Kramer! He's a sweet young dog looking for his forever home. He enjoys his walks and sitting in your lap. He has lived with other small dogs. Cats would be ok with a proper introduction. He is not yet housebroken so crate training is recommended. No small children please. Come meet him today!

Delivery & Best Prices!

425-312-5489

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