That’s why Arlington workers set aside at least three days to decorate the towering tree in Legion Park. “We want to get everything to flow right, so there aren’t any big gaps in the lights,” Ray Drake said, as he and fellow senior maintenance worker Eric Hentila wrapped the multiple strings of lights around the tree. “You kind of have to adjust as you go regardless, you’re not always going to have a limb where you need a limb.” People can enjoy their decora- tions firsthand Saturday, Dec. 6, when the city has its tree-lighting shortly after the Santa parade on Olympic Avenue at noon.

ARLINGTON — Trimming a Christmas tree can be challenging, but it becomes even more so when you need a bucket truck to string lights on its uppermost branches.

That’s why Arlington workers set aside at least three days to decorate the towering tree in Legion Park.

“We want to get everything to flow right, so there aren’t any big gaps in the lights,” Ray Drake said, as he and fellow senior maintenance worker Eric Hentila wrapped the multiple strings of lights around the tree. “You kind of have to adjust as you go regardless, you’re not always going to have a limb where you need a limb.”

People can enjoy their decora-tions firsthand Saturday, Dec. 6, when the city has its tree-lighting shortly after the Santa parade on Olympic Avenue at noon.

Even with the tricks that Drake and Hentila have learned from nearly two decades of trimming the tree for Hometown Holidays, they have to put some thought into it.

“One thing we’ve figured out is to string the white lights in one direc-tion and the red lights in the other,” Drake said. “Plus, with the new LED

lights we got last year, we’re able to string up more lights without blow-ing the circuit-breaker.”

Recreation Manager Sarah Lopez said Arlington chose the energy-saving LED strings after consulting with Leavenworth officials. “The lights are also photosensitive, so they only come on after it gets dark.”

“Traditionally, we start deco-rating the city the day before Thanksgiving,” said Lopez, who

credited city workers with rising at 4 a.m. to place 19 12-foot candles at Smokey Point, and Island Crossing, as well as 13 eight-foot candy canes and 35 three-foot snowflakes at Olympic Avenue.

Jay Downing, who’s in charge of the city’s maintenance and opera-tions, reported that approximately 3,500 lights have been strung up citywide, including about 2,000 LEDs on the tree alone, which have

saved the city up to 80 percent in energy, compared with the old incandescent bulbs.

“Each and every decoration is meticulously placed, while brav-ing all types of inclement weath-er,” said Downing, who estimated that roughly 200 hours are spent annually on prepping and installing Christmas decorations.

ARLINGTON — As Arlington prepares for the possible impact of winter weather on its streets, Jay Downing, who’s in charge of the city’s maintenance and operations, sees three rea-sons to be optimistic:

ARLINGTON — More than 40 Christmas trees and wreaths will be on display and up for bid on Saturday, Dec. 6, as part of the return of the Festival of Trees to Cascade Valley Hospital.

The open house from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. will give visi-tors a chance to check out the full selection for free, while the gala and auction from 6:30-9 p.m. offers attendees the opportunity to purchase trees and wreaths.

Jennifer Egger, commu-

nity relations coordinator for the hospital, noted that the Mickey and Minnie Mouse trees each come with two “park hopper” passes to Disneyland, worth $350, plus an inflatable Mickey-and-Minnie set.

“One of our two ‘Frozen’ wreaths comes with passes to all sorts of Seattle attrac-tions,” Egger said. “Our Seahawks-themed tree is one of our three big trees, and not only does it come with a helmet signed by

Jermaine Kearse, but the tree itself revolves.”

Egger has seen more “fun and quirky” items this year, but reassured those who prefer traditional decor that this year’s selection “offers something for everyone.”

More importantly, Egger explained that the Festival of Trees helps raise money for the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation, which provided relief to those impacted by the Oso slide, in addition to paying for 32 mammograms during this year’s Relay For Life. “It helps us enhance the lives of our patients, visitors and staff, and to be a good com-munity partner,” Egger said.

Tickets to the gala are $10, which include dinner, appetizers and two drinks, plus live jazz music courtesy of the students of Arlington High School. To buy tick-ets or learn more about the foundation, log onto www.cascadevalley.org.

MARYSVILLE — For most people, the bombing of Pearl Harbor 73 years ago is a historic event, but for World War II veterans such as Marysville’s Art Olsen, it was a defining moment in his life.

Not only did Olsen go on to serve his country over-seas in the Army, but he also preserved an artifact of the attack that plunged America into the war.

In 1941, Olsen was living in Chicago, and he saved the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune from Dec. 8 of that year, reporting that the U.S. was at war.

“That really was the Big One,” Olsen said. “You had

everyone from Europe to the Pacific Rim involved, all the way to China and Burma. And it wasn’t just the men. All the women went to work, like Rosie the Riveter. We got through it in three or four years, but we didn’t know back then how long it would last. All you could do was take it one day at a time.”

Olsen joined the service in January of 1943, and his first deployment saw him spending 23 days at sea, between San Francisco and

Sydney, Australia.“We were all alone on

the water, with no convoy,” Olsen said. “We cut a zig-zagging course, because submarines back then needed five or six minutes to set up their guns to fire. If you stood at the back of the boat, you could see the captain changing course.”

Olsen’s next deployment was to the New Guinea region of the South Pacific theater. He was still in his late teens when he hit the beachhead on April 22,

1944, which he described as the longest day of his life.

“I was part of a convoy so large that, when you looked in front of you and behind you, all you could see were ships,” Olsen said.

Olsen lamented the lives that were lost, not only dur-ing his own war, but in all the wars since, given that he’d hoped that WWII live up to the first World War’s original title as “the war to end all wars.”

“This is the greatest nation on earth, so I’d still defend it again, but it’s sad that we’ve lost so many,” Olsen said.

“There’s a lot of turmoil in our country, but I still appreciate being able to live in such a great land.”

The longest line of shoppers at the Seattle Premium Outlet mall in Tulalip was at the Coach store, where about 50 people stood in line prior to it opening on Thanksgiving morning.

BY STEVE [email protected]

TULALIP – Who would give up their Thanksgiving to go shopping?

Canadians, eh?The Coach store at Seattle Premium

Outlets in Tulalip was one of dozens of stores there that beat the Black Friday rush and opened for business at 10 a.m. on Thanksgiving day. About 50 people were in line by the time the doors opened, but at the front were Lisa Evans and Irene Robinson of Victoria, B.C.

They said they had only been in line for about an hour, but “we’ve never been first in the lineup,” Evans said.

She said the duo has been in the area since Saturday, and they go shopping from Bellingham to Lynnwood, with stops here, Everett and Mount Vernon-Burlington. They’ve been doing it for about nine years.

Evans said they love Coach and buy something there every year. In fact, they had just been to that same store the day before, “But the deals are today,” Evans said.

She said they don’t mind shopping on Thanksgiving because, “We’re Canadian,” and they don’t do Thanksgiving. But they do celebrate Christmas. They got a free tur-key at Winco for spending $150, and they will save it for that holiday.

“I can’t believe how caring people are around here for Thanksgiving,” Evans said.

Another Canadian family, this one from Vancouver, was first in line at the Michael Kors store.

They also had only been in line for about an hour. Harmeet Singh said they don’t cel-ebrate Thanksgiving either, but do celebrate Christmas so they were there to buy gifts for upcoming trips they are planning to India and Australia.

IN OUR VIEWPraise and raze

Anyone thinking of selling their home in December inevitably wres-tles with the decision. “Is it all right to go ahead and list my house now,” they ask, “or would it be wiser to wait till all the holiday madness is over?”

Many real estate agents counsel their clients to wait. Their reasons are understandable; December is, after all, the busiest month on the calendar. The thinking is that with all the hurry and scurry and hustle and bustle and shopping and spending, buyers won’t have the time or energy to focus on the house-hunt.

But the fact is, there are always buyers out looking for houses. People relocate. People downsize. People decide they can’t live for one more minute in their too-tiny home. So the market will never lack for buyers — not even during December. And this time of year offers a few benefits that outweigh

the short list of concerns.Here are just a few reasons for

listing or keeping your home on the market during the holidays:

• Reduction in inventory means less competition for your house. Unlike the spring-into-summer season, when the market ramps up and there’s a big spike in inventory, the market winds down during December and January. With fewer homes for sale, yours has a better

chance of shining.• December

buyers are moti-vated buyers. Anyone willing to trudge through rain or snow or slush to look at houses is serious about buying. That means that

if you do your part (and your part is setting a competitive price and making sure your home is in top condition), you will likely get the attention of those serious-minded buyers.

• You’ve already done a lot of the work. There’s probably not another time of the year when your house looks more festive, so why not get some mileage out of the decora-tions you’ve put up? When my daughter was young, she always told me our house was “magical” during the holidays. That’s not a bad effect when you’re trying to put your best foot forward.

So how do you make your home shine during this slower home-buying season?

• Skip the inflatable penguins. Enough said.

• Keep it simple. When I was growing up, everyone had the same Christmas lights in the same five colors: red, green, blue, orange and white. They were big and blister-ingly hot – and we put them on our trees. it’s really amazing that any of our homes made it through

unscorched. Today, you can proba-bly buy taupe lights and chartreuse lights and flamingo pink lights. But should you? No. If your house is on the market this season, the wild lights need to stay in the attic. This is a year for white lights, which will not clash with your year-round furniture and will not distract buy-ers’ eyes from what they should be looking at.

• Highlight your home’s best architectural features. Every win-dow looks beautiful framed in lights, as do porch rails, the front door and the eaves of your roof. Take a little time to dress up the front of your home, stepping back now and then to check it from the curb. Highlight the landscaping too, but remember not to overdo it.

• Switch to warm lights. Even though those bulbs may be quite small, there’s a big difference between “cool white” and “warm white.” Cool white are harsher than the warm white lights, in my opin-ion, and less-than-welcoming. They make me feel like I’m strapped to an uncomfortable chair with a giant “cool white” light bulb hanging over my head and a foul-breathed interrogator hunkered tortuously close to me yelling, “Where were YOU on the night of June 3rd?” Warm white lights, on the other hand, make me feel like I’m in my Grandma’s kitchen eating a fourth warm-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookie and watching the flick-ering flame in her antique kerosene lamp.

And on the subject of cookies … bake a batch, and arrange them on your prettiest holiday plate with a note that says, “Please help your-self.”

What says “Welcome Home” like a plate of freshly baked cookies?

December not a bad time to sell

THE PUBLIC FORUM

Praise to the Marysville-Pilchuck High School football team for making it to the semifinals and giving Bellevue such a tough game. We would be proud anyway, but especially considering the shooting what you’ve done for this community’s spirit is amazing.

Praise to our Pearl Harbor veterans. Thanks to you we still are the land of the free.

Praise to our road crews in Marysville and Arlington. We would be lost without you on icy and snowy days. We are glad you are willing to work in those weather condi-tions so we don’t have to.

Praise to the Festival of Trees celebrations in Tulalip and Arlington. The huge amounts of funds you raise are for such great causes.

Praise to the cities of Arlington and Marysville for putting on such wonderful Christmas events. Even if you don’t have much money for gifts, you can still have a tremendous holiday by going to these activities.

Praise that Sgt. Jim Maples is back at work for the Marysville Police Department. We are so thankful your injuries in that shootout weren’t worse.

Praise to Mountain View Presbyterian Church and Sherwood Community Services for helping Ron Peters get a job. Peters, who is in his 50s, has cerebral palsy and got his first paycheck ever this week.

Praise to the Minority Achievers Program for also helping students in poverty now. Our future is brighter thanks to organizations like yours.

Praise to all of you who helped the Marysville and Arlington food banks.

Raze that more help is needed, but unfortunately those are the times we live in.

Raze that Driving Under the Influence emphasis patrols are needed. People need to drink responsibly or not at all. Or at least have the sense to take a taxi. That $20 could save you thousands of dollars or even a life.

Praise to the churches in Marysville and Arlington that help the homeless when cold weather hits.

Raze that more don’t step up to help the few that do.Praise to all of those athletes honored for their hard

work with all-league honors.Praise also to their coaches for their encouragement

and their teammates who made them better by compet-ing against them every day in practice.

MARYSVILLE – It wasn’t just a Christmas wish or a New Year’s resolution, it’s been a lifelong goal.

Ron Peters of Marysville is in his 50s and has always wanted a job. But since he has cerebral palsy the possibilities are limited, some said impossible.

But Peters, with the help of Jo Lynn Rothrock of Sherwood Community Services, proved them wrong.

Peters received the first paycheck of his life Dec. 1 after working for three weeks at the Mountain View Presbyterian Church. He helps in the office shredding papers.

Church office manager Stephanie Clark said Peters directly helps her.

“It’s a win-win,” she said. “We want to be able to help folks. It helps make him feel a little independent.”

Alpha Jawneh, one of Peters’ Volunteers of America caregivers, said he has noticed a difference in his client since he got the job.

“He’s always happy to come to work,” Jawneh said.

Sherwood Community Services helps people with disabilities find jobs. Rothrock has been working with Peters for about six months to train him for a job he could do.

“We took little steps,” she said. “He took

one step forward then one back. It’s like a Christmas miracle.”

He can’t communicate verbally, but he has about 200 personal signs he uses to try to get his message across to others. He pat-ted his pocket when he was paid his first check by Clark, then showed his trust in Jawneh by handing the money over to him as Peters got back to work.

“It’s got to be frustrating to understand but not be able to verbalize,” Rothrock said. “People judge him, but he’s smart.”

She said Peters is excited about getting paid right before Christmas. He has a broth-er in Everett he wants to buy a present for.

Setting up Peters to shred paper was not easy. They had to find just the right shred-der so it would be safe for Peters. And they had to build a box and a short ramp that leads to the shredder because of Peters’ limited movement in his left arm. Peters can work a few hours at a time before fatigue sets in.

Sherwood Community Services is look-ing to help Peters even more. They want to get him an I-Pad with an app that can help him communicate simply by touching it to his cheek.

Rothrock said Peters is a very determined worker. “He doesn’t like when I try to help,” she said. “He has to do it on his own.”

MARYSVILLE – Union leaders tried to give Wal Mart a black eye on Black Friday.

About 20 union support-ers, including state Rep. Mike Sells and Stanwood Mayor Leonard Kelly, were at the Marysville Wal Mart on 64th Nov. 26. Other groups planned to go to Arlington and Tulalip.

The union members

came from all types of pro-fessions and trades. Similar efforts took place at all 64 Wal Marts in the state and also nationwide.

Walmart representative Kayla Wayling noted the union members are paid to demonstrate against the company on Black Friday, and “They are not repre-sentative of our 1.3 million associates.”

two workers sanded hot spot intersections, and when roads dried out the anti-ice chemical Calcium Chloride was used.

Kinney said since that program started two years ago it has saved taxpayers a lot of money.

“Since it’s liquid instead of sand we don’t have to sweep it up afterward,” he said.

Maintenance worker

Brent Potter said they take the temperature of the road at every location they de-ice to make sure the amount is safe. He also said the trucks used for plowing are used almost every day for other jobs, such as hauling rock, backhoes or other projects.

Kinney said the city only had one snow event last

year, around Dec. 20. He said he’s not worried about the earlier snow this year.

“We have a pretty healthy budget for snow and ice removal,” he said. “We’re prepared for any major events.”

The Street Department maintains 196 miles of roads within the city. A

system of priority has been established taking into con-sideration topography and traffic volumes:

• Arterials leading in and out of the City

• Arterials located on hills within city boundaries

• Fire and police access• All other arterials with-

in city boundaries.

Red barrels for donations will be placed around the Ken Baxter Community Center. Because of prob-lems at the center the annu-al craft fair won’t be held there, but artisans will be outside, along with food vendors.

Parks director Jim Ballew encouraged people to bring canned food and toys.

“We’re struggling with the current level of giving,” he said.

Meanwhile, Marysville’s Cedarcrest Golf Course will become an after-dark winter wonderland starting Dec. 11, when fairways are transformed into a show-case for dazzling light dis-plays at the 4th Annual Holiday Tour of Lights.

Two four-car Merrysville Express Rotary Trains will take 12-14 visitors each on winding paths, taking guests on a 15-minute ride through rolling hills on the west side front nine of the course. They go around the pond, and see animated dis-plays, such as at penguin village where they fall off an igloo. They also go through polar bear forest and Santa’s Workshop on Hole No. 3, where kids can get out, meet with Santa and his elves, and get a candy cane.

Tours will be available from 6-9 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays Dec. 11-27 at the course, 6810 84th St. NE. The tour will be closed for Christmas.

While there is no admis-sion, a donation of $3 per child, $5 per adult or $20 per family is suggested. A bonfire, s’mores and cocoa are included.

About 2,000 people a year attend the event, look-

ing at the 35 displays. Most of the displays and lights have been purchased with $10,000 in grant money and $4,000 in sponsorship fees.

Parks maintenance man-ager Mike Robinson said just like people in their homes they sometimes have to deal with lights going out.

“A fuse may go bad or some might shut off because of too much moisture,” Robinson said. “It sounds comical now, but a display might deflate, and we don’t know why. Or a generator might run out of gas. We just scratch our head, roll up our sleeves and unplug one circuit at a time just like at home,” he said with a chuckle.

Robinson said the event takes about six days to set up, but snow last week made it easier because there were no golfers.

“It’s usually harder because we have to keep an eye out for the golfers,” he said.

The back nine isn’t used because bridges are too narrow for the trains, and there’s not enough electric-ity there.

“Power is everything when it comes to displays,” he said.

Guy wires are left up all year to make setup quicker.

The event brings in much-needed revenue for the golf course. Weather permitting, even when ground displays are put up next week golfers will be playing. They just get a free drop if their ball falls near a display.

“Ideally we’ll have golf during the day, and the tour at night,” Robinson said.

For details on any of the events, call the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department at 360-363-8400 or visit the website at marysvillewa.gov.

MARYSVILLE – Sgt. Jim Maples was expected to be back at work Dec. 2. Maples is the Marysville police sergeant who was shot when Hans Hansen, 43, of Granite Falls went on a three-city shooting spree Oct. 15 with an automatic weapon.

After shooting up Granite Falls and Lake Stevens, then shooting at Marysville police, Hansen drove his pickup at Maples. The sergeant grabbed his rifle, positioned him-self behind his police car and felt bullets striking all around him.

He fired at Hansen. As the truck got closer, Maples felt severe pain in his lower leg and dropped to the ground. He then felt a bul-let whiz past his wrist, burning the skin, court papers say. He was hit again in the leg. Officers arrived to help the sergeant, plac-ing a tourniquet on his leg. Maples, who has been with the depart-ment for 19 years, was rushed to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, where he was treated and released. Hansen was

shot in the head by Marysville police. He has since recovered and has been charged. Cmdr. Wendy Wade made the announcement about Maples’ return at the City Council work session Dec. 1.

The council also discussed:• Spending $59,332 on Kennedy/

Jenks Consultants. “We don’t like to raise rates for water-sewer, so they will look to lower chemi-cal costs and energy costs, too,” Nielsen said.

• Continuing a pact with the

Yakima jail. Wade said Marysville is housing about 10 long-term prisoners there. Yakima charges about $54.75 a day per inmate, plus it provides transport to and from Marysville. “We often don’t have enough beds, and we want to keep space open for new arrests.”

• Hiring Strategies 360, Inc. for consulting services related to fed-eral and state government. The consultants would focus on train transport and grants from the feds, and capital projects, transporta-

tion and tax exemptions for new manufacturing businesses with state government.

• School impact fees will go down by half for multi-family dwellings in Marysville, while Lakewood will have an increase.

• A law that would make it ille-gal to use recreational vehicles to house caretakers. It is illegal to have an RV anywhere but an RV park for more than 14 days. Then it becomes camping, which is ille-gal in the city.

MARYSVILLE — Tomahawk fans stick together. That was the idea when the Marysville-Pilchuck Booster Club hired a charter bus to take M-P parents and other support-ers to the Tacoma Dome for the state 3A football game against Bellevue.

“Most parents don’t want to ride down on a full bus of students,” said Karri Hansen, treasurer of the booster club. “It also shows that we’re supporters of the team.”

It was the second time the booster club used a bus as transport. The first time was used during M-P’s visit to Vancouver, Wash. to ease the driving distance for fans in the quarterfinals game against Columbia River.

The bus boarded 28 eager fans as they awaited the Tomahawks to take on

Bellevue. Monica Zatarain was

excited for her son, Cesar, to get some playing time as a varsity player.

Along with hoping for a win, she hoped the team would have fun and be safe.

“They’re very excited,” she said. “This game means a lot to them, and it will be something that they will remember for the rest of their life.”

Darren Lester, father of Nick, was also pleased with the accommodation and also excited for his son and his team.

“Not having to drive myself makes it easier,” Lester said.

Though M-P fell short of a win against Bellevue, the Tomahawk supporters were still thrilled for their team.

“They worked really hard, and to be third in state is an amazing thing,” Hansen said.

TACOMA - The team of des-tiny, Marysville-Pilchuck, lost to the team of dynasty, Bellevue, in the state 3A High School Football Championships 20-10 Nov. 28 in the Tacoma Dome.

The score was tied 10-10 with three minutes left in the third quarter after M-P quarterback Eric Lind threw a 14-yard touch-down pass to end Drew Hatch on a slant route. The loud crowd from M-P, which numbered about 7,000, let out a roar as Hatch went

in untouched. That play conclud-ed a 75-yard drive, with speedy and powerful tailback Austin Joyner leading the way with runs of 17 and 14 yards.

But Bellevue, which has now won 67 straight games, took the kickoff and methodically went 80

yards on 14 plays, chewing up about seven minutes on the clock. Wolverine quarterback Justus Rogers did most of the damage, keeping the ball on read-option plays and also on QB draws. He had runs of 13 and 11 yards and passed twice to running back Sam

Richmond for 14 more setting up Richmond’s 2-yard smash up the middle to make it 17-10.

After a four plays and out by M-P, the Wolverines put the game out of reach with a 19-yard field

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood senior Paul Coleman is the product of hard work and selflessness.

Coleman practiced dili-gently over the summer, lift-ing weights and improving his ball handling before the start of his final year.

“I surrounded myself with basketball,” Coleman said.

It showed in Lakewood’s debut game against the Mornington Breakers from Australia Dec. 3, a team Lakewood hosts every four years.

The Cougars took apart their guests from down-under 72-43 with much of the damage dealt by Coleman, who scored 25 points.

Lakewood executed what they worked on in practice, Coach Anthony Wiederkehr said. They moved the ball around, forced turnovers and scored lots of points.

Teammate senior Chance Schueller was second in scoring with 17 points and led with 10 rebounds.

There were some miscues on offense that need to be worked on, he admitted, but Coleman was on fire in the second half. He was all over the place, shooting from afar and laying up from under the hoop.

With his improved ball-handling and his ability to score from inside and behind the paint, Coleman also has the unique ability to have the offense “come to him,” Wiederkehr said.

As a result Coleman wasn’t able to warm up and do most of his scoring until the third period.

“I feed off my teammates’ energy and let the ball come to me,” he said.

While it was a momen-tous start for Coleman, Wiederkehr said it’s only just the beginning.

“We’re expecting big games out of him,” Wiederkehr said.

Lakewood’s next games are away Wednesday, Dec. 10, at Granite Falls and Friday, Dec. 12 at Archbishop Murphy.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball team pulled through Cascade in overtime 68-65 Dec. 2 in a non-con-ference season-opener.

M-P junior Bryce Juneau, who led his team in 21 points, hit a clutch 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter to send the Tommies into over-

time.Juneau and teammate

senior Cole Grinde put together eight points to help M-P edge out Cascade in overtime.

“Juneau seemed to be will-ing us to win,” coach Barry Gould said.

M-P’s next games will be today hosting Bellingham, and Tuesday, Dec. 9, against Snohomish.

ARLINGTON — Even with a new set of starters, the Arlington boys basket-ball team put away Mount Vernon 86-57 Dec. 2 in its season-opening non-confer-ence game.

“We had too many turn-overs, but we shot well,” coach Nick Brown said. “We played much better defense in the second half.”

Team leaders were junior Donovan Sellgren netting 21 points, and sophomore teammate Drew Bryson scoring 22.

Arlington’s next games are Saturday, Dec. 6, at Shorewood, and Tuesday Dec. 9, at Cascade.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell boys basketball team lost its sea-son opener to Meadowdale 65-37 Dec. 2 in a non-con-ference game.

MG will host Granite Falls Saturday, Dec. 6, and Mariner Tuesday, Dec. 9.

All Marysville and Arlington basketball games start at 7:15 p.m. All Lakewood basketball games start as early as 6:45 p.m.

ARLINGTON — To “spread the wealth around” was part of Arlington’s plan to get back into the bas-ketball season, coach Joe Marsh said.

The Arlington girls show-cased that in their season-opener with a dominant win over Meadowdale 65-24 Dec. 1.

“This is a team that has to win by getting multiple points from different play-ers,” Marsh said.

The Eagles did what Marsh wanted — getting scores from 10 players.

But for a team that only has one senior, it was the “junior-heavy” roster that stole the show.

“That pays off over the course of the years,” Marsh said. “These kids know what to do, and now we can just come in and get better

and better.” Juniors Jayla Russ and

Sevi Biesler scored 11 points apiece. Biesler was the sharpshooter on 3-point goals.

“I feel like it was the beginning of the setting on where we need to be,” Biesler said. “We’re all try-

ing to figure out what we should be doing and where we should be on the court.”

“Our defense and energy was fantastic and that’s the way we wanted to start our season,” Marsh said.

Page honoredMARYSVILLE – Killian

Page was named Athlete of the Week by the WIAA for his game against Columbia River, which Marysville-Pilchuck won 63-6.

Each week the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rec-ognizes 12 varsity athletes,

a male and a female from each of the six classifica-tions, who exhibit an out-standing performance.

Page, a senior, had 14 car-ries for 187 yards and three touchdowns in the victory over Columbia River in the

quarterfinals. On defense, he picked off two intercep-tions and recovered a fum-ble.

The win put the Tomahawks into the semi-finals in a match-up against Bellevue at the Tacoma

Dome. The Wolverines won that game 20-10, adding to their 67-game winning streak.

December 06, 2014 13The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

goal by Kian Khodamorad to make it 20-10 with 2:46 remaining. Working with a short field after a short M-P punt, Bellevue took over on its own 42-yard line. Rogers had runs of 17 and 15 yards to key the drive.

An M-P fumble on the next series basically ended the game.

After battling to a hard-fought 0-0 tie in the first quarter, Bellevue scored on the first play of the second period on a 1-yard run by Richmond. The Tomahawks came back to make it 7-3 with 4:56 left in the half on a 24-yard field goal by Sebastian Navarro.

In a gamble that didn’t pay off, M-P went for it on fourth and one from its own 35, giving the ball back to Bellevue. After giving up a 15-yard run to Rogers, the defense held the Wolverines to a 28-yard field goal with three seconds left.

At the half, Joyner led M-P with 48 yards rushing on 11 carries. Richmond had 41 yards on 13 tries and Rogers 21 on two attempts. By the end of the game, Joyner had 90 yards on 16 tries, Killian Page 18 tries for 59 yards, Richmond 99 yards on 29 tries, and Rogers 11 attempts for 92 yards.

Both defenses domi-nated the game, with M-P giving up just 294 yards. Linebackers Hatch and Joyner led the Tommies in tackles with 14 and 11. The Wolverines held M-P to just 172 total yards.

It was the fourth-most points given up by Bellevue all season. And it was the fourth-most points given up by M-P all year.

M-P picked up the third-place trophy, finishing the season 10-2.

Bellevue, 13-0, played for the state title Friday night against Eastside Catholic. The Wolverines are going for their seventh straight title and 12th in the last 14 years as the dynasty con-tinues.

M-P was known as the team of destiny after reeling off four impressive victories since a tragic shooting at the school six weeks ago.

ARLINGTON — Citizens will get another chance to review the city budget, along with City Council

members, when it’s present-ed during the workshop at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8.

Paul Ellis, community

and economic develop-ment director for the city, explained that some of the terminology of the last

budget presentation was deemed confusing, so city officials will make it clearer at the next meeting.

“There was a bit of finan-cial jargon in there,” Ellis said. “We’re drawing up a

terminology key to make it more understandable.”

The proposed budget for 2015 includes almost $42 million in expenditures and $41.7 million in revenue. It would start with $18.82 mil-

lion and end the year with $18.55 million.

After the council dis-cussed the budget Dec. 8, it will be brought up again for a vote on Monday, Dec. 15.

ARLINGTON — Although Dec. 7 marks the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Stillaguamish Valley Pioneer Hall and Museum take time during the day to honor the service of all American military members as part of their annual “Military Day.”

From 1-3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7, the Pioneer Hall will host yet another gath-ering of veterans and civilian members of the public alike, to recognize and pay tribute to all those in branches of service, both those who have served and those who are currently serving.

Pioneer Association President Myrtle Rausch recalled that Military Day began in 2000, with the dedication of a military memorial on site, and has been observed each year since on Dec. 7, making this the 15th annual event.

Myrtle’s husband, Pioneer Museum caretaker Marty Rausch, noted that re-enactors and military vehicles have appeared frequently at previous Military

Days, but he agreed with his wife that the day’s main purpose is to afford com-munity members an opportunity to meet veterans, and for veterans to exchange ideas with each other.

“My brother was in the Korean war, and it wasn’t until after he died that I found out that he’d earned a Purple Heart,” Marty Rausch said.

“We enjoy having the veterans here to tell their stories and show their pho-tos,” Myrtle Rausch said. “The commu-nity should come on by and say thanks to those who help keep them safe.”

This year’s Military Day will feature the Pioneer Museum opening its doors to showcase military history through the lens of local veterans.

Previous years’ Military Days have fos-tered lively discussions among veterans about the meaning of their service, and have occasionally even included obser-vances such as the POW/MIA remem-brance ceremony, whose empty table represents all the military members who have been prisoners of war or gone miss-ing in action.

Stilly honors veterans with Military Day Dec. 7

Due to confusing language, Arlington will vote on budget Dec. 15

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Marysville and Arlington as this photo of holiday lights shows. If you want to show off all the work you’ve done setting up lights this year we have just the venue for you. Email pictures to [email protected] or [email protected], and we will use them online and in the paper.

MARYSVILLE – The Community Center has been moved temporarily to 156th Street due to a sewage problem.

Parks director Jim Ballew said Dec. 2 that a storm combined with a plugged sewer pipe led to a back-up that flooded the Ken Baxter Community Center with sewage. The city had planned to replace the floor and paint the building any-way, but now that timetable had to be moved up.

“This will force us to do it ear-lier,” Ballew said.

He said within 24 hours of the Nov. 20 storm the city relocated the center to an annex at 15524 Smokey Point Blvd. Ballew said the quarters will be used for at least 30 days. The heavily used center was able to transfer all but three of its programs to the annex and other city or school buildings .

Along with fixing up the center, the city also plans to update its sew-age system in the area, which was built in 1946. “It was older infra-structure,” he said. “We’re going to upgrade that, too.”
