MARYSVILLE — The fifth annual Healthy Communities Challenge Day at Allen Creek Elementary on Saturday, June 1, was the event’s “biggest year yet,” according to city of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew. “We had more than a couple of thousand attendees and at least 85 vendors,” Ballew said. “And again, we enjoyed perfect weather for the day.” Ballew himself took part in the X8 Interactive Drumming exhibition, and deemed the Hot Dog USA Jump Rope Team a definite

draw for the day’s crowds. “Participatory activities attract large audiences, so we’ll be focusing more on those next year,” Ballew said. The Get Movin’ campaign unloaded nearly all of their 1,000 T-shirts during the four-hour event, which Marysville YMCA volunteer Rick Lawson saw as evidence of how entrenched the Healthy Communities Challenge Day has become in the Marysville community. “People are a lot more in tune with getting healthy than they used to be,” Lawson said. “This event SEE HEALTHY, PAGE 2

TULALIP — Marysville School District Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland and Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller were both feted by friends and colleagues at the Hibulb Cultural Center on Thursday, May 30, in anticipation of their impending retirement. “It was turbulent time when they first took over,” Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. said, before laughing, “We had a betting calendar on how long they’d last, but nobody won, because it didn’t go nine years.” Sheldon turned serious to praise the leadership and partnership between Nyland and Miller, just as Sheryl Fryberg, general manager of

the Tribes, cited the complimentary strengths of Nyland’s “linear thinking” and Miller’s creativity. “They’ve made so many connections, and we’re just grateful for our relationships with them,” Fryberg said. Marysville School Board President Chris Nation credited Nyland with pushing him to run for that office only four years before, and echoed Sheldon in attributing the healing of the “fractured community” to Nyland’s influence. “He’s always done the most he can to make sure that every child can be a success,” said Nation, who noted that, during Nyland’s tenure, the district saw the completion of an elementary SEE NYLAND, PAGE 2

HEALTHY FROM PAGE 1 gets bigger every year.” Greg Erickson, athletic director for the Marysville School District, was again supervising groups of elementary, middle and high school students as they completed the district’s physical fitness challenge, running them through rounds of push-ups, sit-ups and step aerobics. “They select which levels they want to perform at, and are rewarded by having their names written down on our boards,” said Erickson, who estimated that more than 130 Marysville students had tackled the physical fitness challenge. “Our philosophy is that any type of physical activity is awesome.” John Paul Kunselman and Kevin Gallo of the Marysville Youth Football League watched close to 200 kids toss footballs and try out the tackle-sleds at

John McCoy chuckled as he recalled how Nyland and Miller were just as active in con-

Allen Creek Elementary that Saturday. “Some kids who are heavier aren’t embraced by all sports, but there’s a place for every size and shape of kid in football,” Kunselman said. “When they show up, they might not be in the best of shape, but we’ll work with them, to help them develop discipline.” “It teaches them responsibility and structure,” Gallo said. “You’ve got to eat good all week long before a game.” While Dawn Mosteller, owner of Rising Stars Gymnastics in Marysville, supervised at least a hundred kids as they tumbled on her mats, Carlton Doup, the senior instructor at Kung Fu 4 Kids in Marysville, estimated that the kids who stopped by his booth broke as many as 300 wooden boards. “Gymnastics is great for physical fitness even if you don’t go competitive with it,”

Mosteller said. “A lot of folks think you have to compete if you do gymnastics, but it can be just a fun way to get fit without even realizing that you’re exercising. It builds a lot of self-confidence for kids, who love a challenge.” “It’s awesome that a lot more people are getting involved in health and fitness,” Doup said. “Of course, it’s easy when this day makes it such a fun deal.” “It’s hard to pick a favorite activity,” said Josiah Frank, a third-grader at Grace Academy. “I like that there’s new things every year we come. I enjoyed seeing the jump-ropers this year.” “Any community event is great, but this one lets us see things that we might not find out about otherwise,” said Melaina Smith, who brought sons Montaeo, 4, and Kilean, 10. “Kilean is more into soccer, but Montaeo wants to play football very bad,” she laughed.

tacting members of the Legislature about their own concerns. “I hope they enjoy retirement, especially since they’re still young enough to impact the community in other ways,” Hatch said. “I have every confidence that, if the new superintendent believes in their vision, the school district will continue to move in the right direction,” McCoy said. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and Caldie Rogers, president and CEO of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, agreed with the Tribal members who commended Nyland and Miller for building bridges into the broader community, even

beyond the Tribes and the city of Marysville. “It was difficult to lead the school district through such tough times, but they passed that test and left a legacy,” Nehring said. Rogers recounted how Nyland had responded to Legislative budget cutbacks, on behalf of the district’s students, and described his work as so important to the economic climate of the region that the Chamber once named him their Businessman of the Year. “Education is our business,” Rogers said. Ray Houser, the district’s executive director of teaching and learning, will be taking over Miller’s

job as assistant superintendent, and he joked that he felt like a kid who’s been left home alone by his parents. “Larry and Gail have been so inseparable, and I’ve learned so much from them,” Houser said. “There’s no way I’ll be able to live up to your example, but I’ll do my best to honor you, and I’ll call upon you often.” For her part, Miller plans to use her retirement to travel abroad, while Nyland aims to spend more time with his family. “It still doesn’t feel real,” said Miller, who’s been happy to cede the spotlight to Nyland. “I like to lead from behind,” she

laughed. “The nine years I spent in Marysville were the longest I’ve stayed put anywhere during my nearly 40 years in education. It’s all been wonderful. Ray and I came up together and worked closely with one another, so I’ve got a lot of confidence in him.” “What a blessing it’s been to work with all of you,” Nyland told those in attendance, as he came close to tears while addressing his wife. “Thank you, Kathy, for letting me do this work. I’m looking forward to only working 30 hours a week in retirement, and I’ll be watching what I’m sure will be the great success of Dr. Becky Berg.”

Olympic Theatre Foundation moves forward with nonprofit status campaign, capitalizing upon social media and other outlets, including news media such as The Arlington Times, to generate enough interest to form what would become the Olympic Theatre Foundation. “We reviewed the overall situation and case studies from other theaters that have been in the same situation,” Clarke said. “We determined that the business is viable, with reasonable and achievable annual support from the community. It became evident that the best way forward was through a nonprofit structure, such that donations and membership fees could augment the revenue from theater operations. It’s going to take the ongoing commitment of a strong and experienced team of leaders to take this forward.” The Olympic Theatre Foundation’s first order of business is transitioning the old movie theater to digital equipment, and OTF Board member Val Kellogg has consulted with the volunteers who have conducted the necessary technical and

procurement analyses. “We’re fortunate that a generous donor has stepped forward to help fund this significant purchase,” Kellogg said. “It’s now our obligation to make sure the investment takes the theater solidly into the future. It’s not a simple task, and we have some work left to do before the equipment can be ordered and installed.” “I’m thrilled that we were able to find a formula for success,” said Arlington Mayor Barb Tolbert, who’s also an OTF Board member. “The theater is important to the vitality of downtown, and it is an incredible win that this foundation has come together to take the reins.” Community members are encouraged to visit the Olympic Theatre website at www.olympictheatre. net, which provides links to the Olympic Theatre Foundation’s website, currently under construction. FAQs are expected to be posted within the next few weeks.

ARLINGTON — Members of Save the Olympic Theatre met on Saturday, June 1, to discuss the status of the Olympic Theatre Foundation, which was issued its Certificate of Incorporation by the Washington Secretary of State on May 7, and had already filed for expedited nonprofit status with the IRS. On Friday, May 31, at 9:25 a.m., the IRS officially received the application, which was signed for by K. Scheit of the IRS office in Kentucky. “Let’s face it, we’re dealing with the IRS here, but we are optimistic that the application will go right into the process, and that we’ll see a favorable result,” said Lisa Clarke, president of the Olympic Theatre Foundation. “Foundations can come together quickly, but obtaining tax exempt status generally takes some time. We’re fortunate to have a strong team of professionals supporting us, who know

what they’re doing.” The Olympic Theatre Foundation plans to staff volunteer committees and ultimately launch a membership campaign, with its first gala scheduled for October. It grew out of the Save the Olympic Theatre volunteer campaign, made up of community members who rallied around Olympic Theatre owner and operator Norma Pappas when she realized that, after 36 years of running the single-screen movie theater in downtown Arlington, an impending and expensive transition to digital equipment would force her to make some difficult decisions. “I really wanted the theater to remain in operation for the benefit of the community, but it wasn’t clear how we could make that happen,” Pappas said. “Once it became apparent that the community was willing to step up, we knew it was worth the continued effort to find a solution,” said William Frankhouser, who helped spearhead the Save the Olympic Theatre

Michael Jackson, Macarena and the Inclusion Revolution

very year around this time, the MarysvillePilchuck High School cafeteria is transformed for one special evening into a magical wonderland of music, dancing, and fine dining at our annual Life Skills Prom. Organized by parents and National Honor Society students, with the help of generous donations from the PTSA, Tulalip Tribes and other community members, this event gives students with developmental disabilities an opportunity to dress up and have a real night on the town. At this year’s event, Life Skills students and their guests were formally announced as they entered the building where they walked down a literal red carpet to their places at beautifully decorated tables. Then dinner was served, followed by entertainment, professional photographs and hours of footloose fun. Life Skills students danced together with normal-ability peers in an indistinguishable mix of lights, music, motion,

Guest Opinion Jim Strickland and laughter — everything from Michael Jackson and the Macarena to Conga Lines and Gangnam Style. It was an absolute blast for everyone! Toward the end of the evening, several of the National Honor Society students commented that they had a much better time at this prom than at some of the regular high school dances. Here they were able to just be themselves and have fun instead of feeling pressured to live up to some Hollywood standard of coolness and hyper-sexuality. There is just something about these Life Skills students that is so authentic and unpretentious that it simply erases any veneer of artificiality one might be

tempted to put on. This is the revolutionary power of inclusion — a power that serves to humanize and liberate any activity, from school to play to work and beyond. We have all heard powerful stories about businesses that were so caught up in the relentless competition for maximum efficiency and market domination that they found themselves in real danger of losing sight of their very reasons for being in the first place, only to be radically transformed by the inclusion of a person with a developmental disability. Their presence served to humanize the pace and priorities of the businesses in ways that actually improved their overall performance and got them back in touch with their own core values. The same is happening in countless classrooms around the nation. Students with disabilities are learning side by side with normal-ability peers and are enriching the educa-

tion and growth of all in the process. Students are achieving academic goals as well as learning how to live in a society that has a place for everyone. It’s a win-win situation for all. We have come a long way toward building a more inclusive society, but we still have far to go. In the end, we have to decide whether we are willing to submit to the status quo by allowing economic, social, and cultural forces to exclude people with developmental disabilities from full participation in the world as it is, or commit ourselves to including these remarkable human beings and the gifts they bring in our hope for the world that can be. Inclusion is not simply a token act of political correctness. It is a very real revolution that may just wind up saving us all.

Local police departments introduce ‘Business Watch’ BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — Members of the Marysville and Tulalip Tribal police departments introduced their “Business Watch” program to the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce on Friday, May 31, but while they pledge to provide resources and consultation to the program, they made clear to the Chamber members that the “Business Watch” is the community’s program more than it is the police departments’ program. “There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, between difficult fiscal times and manmade and natural disasters,” Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith said. “We hope this will bring some certainty back to your lives.” “As the primary law enforcement for Quil Ceda Village, I understand the importance of business to the community as a whole,” Tulalip Tribal Police Deputy Chief Carlos Echevarria said. Recently promoted Marysville Police Lt. Mark Thomas, whom Smith touted as a creative people-person, presented the bulk of the program, which he com-

pared to the Marysville Volunteers Program of the Marysville Police Department. “Perfection is unattainable, but in its pursuit, we find excellence,” Thomas said. “Every good police officer has the goal of driving crime down far enough to put himself out of a job. Realistically, that’s not attainable, but we do excellent work by pursuing that goal.” To that end, the Business Watch program is designed to work by encouraging businesses to focus on ways they can safeguard themselves from being victimized by crime, with credit card fraud, forgery and shoplifting ranking along the primary illegal perils that they face. “The Business Watch will never be made into a Hollywood action film,” Thomas laughed. “It’s a coalition of individuals who get together to take care of simple things that might make them vulnerable. Shoplifting alone costs retailers more than $13 billion a year.” Not only will Business Watches run on the partnerships between businesses, and between businesses and their respective police departments, but Thomas also

“There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world, between difficult fiscal times and manmade and natural disasters. We hope this will bring some certainty back to your lives.” Rick Smith Marysville Police Chief encouraged Business Watches to forge partnerships with the school district and community service organizations. “It’s a platform to help teach merchants to crime-proof their own properties, watch over their neighbors’ property, and report and document any suspicious behavior,” Thomas said. “The Business Watch philosophy is straightforward; take control of what happens in your community, and lessen your chances of becoming a victim.” Among the habits that Thomas identified as contributing to successful groups, Thomas advised Business Watch members to promote communication between law enforcement and business, encourage cooperation among merchants and offer training to their employees. Thomas broke down the process of creating a Business Watch into five steps, starting with form-

ing a committee to list potential problems in their area, followed by involving law enforcement. “We can provide training and data on what kinds of crimes are common to your areas, so that you can focus your resources properly,” Thomas said. “From there, you should conduct a survey of your fellow businesses, to identify the issues that you face and establish your common interests.” According to Thomas, every Business Watch should be launched with a kickoff event, lasting about 45 minutes at a place and time that’s convenient for everyone, after which the Business Watch’s first official meeting should include plenty of questions and answers, to ensure that all of its participants are getting what they want out of the group. “The difference between a good idea and a great idea is followthrough,” Thomas said. “We can provide you with the tools, but

Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith hopes the ‘Business Watch’ program, in partnership with the Tulalip Tribal Police Department, will help area merchants and retailers safeguard themselves from crime. it’s not our place to go out and impose a Business Watch on you.

M-P seniors reflect on fast-pitch careers BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — For Haley Fritz, Jordyn Nickolson and Casey Zachry, fast-pitch softball isn’t just a sport or recreational activity — it’s a family. The three girls are seniors at Marysville-Pilchuck High School and have been playing softball together since they were in elementary school. Now they are moving on to college, but won’t be soon forgetting the times they had as Tomahawks. “I’ve been playing for about 10 or 12 years, since I was 6,” said Fritz, who played Little League in Marysville until she was 10, SnoCoExpress from until she was 14 and select team Lake Breeze until she was 18. “I’ve grown up here my whole life.” Like Fritz, Nickolson has been playing since she was 6 years old. “I started T-ball when I was 6,” she said. “I used to play on Alderwood Little League, but when we moved up here I played in Marysville Little League and then on the AllStars, SnoCoExpress and Snohomish Shock.” When she first moved to Marysville, Nickolson played with Fritz and Zachry, and so began their

growing friendship and love of softball. “When I moved up here they were my first teammates,” said Nickolson. “Ever since I moved to Marysville, I’ve been playing with them. It’s been so much fun.” Zachry, who also played for Marysville Little League and SnoCoExpress, as well as the select team, sees her friendship with Fritz and Nickolson as being more like a family. “It was actually a really good experience, and really helpful my sophomore year when we went to state,” said Zachry. “The fact that we were playing together since we were little, and we had not only known each other on the softball field but also off the field, made it more of a family than a team.” In 2011, the Tomahawks took second place at state and all three girls consider it their best year. “Playing for M-P has been so cool, especially my sophomore year,” said Fritz. “My older sister and her team all played together with us that year. That was my favorite because everyone we played with for years was on the team.” Nickolson agreed. “Sophomore year was my favorite year. We went to state and ended up getting

second place,” she said. “It was so amazing, there’s not even words for it. We knew, after that year, we probably wouldn’t get that far again. All the five seniors that we’d played with for so long were graduating. We knew that was the year we were going to win if we had a chance. We were little sophomores on varsity, and you rarely have teams that ever go that far.” Zachry, whose father Aaron Zachry is the Tomahawks’ head coach, also has fond memories of her sophomore season at M-P. “Not only did we go to state, we were also academic state champions that year,” she said. “The fact that we were not only good at the sport, but also in school — that was kind of cool.” Being both athletically and academically skilled will be useful for the trio, as they graduate and move on to college in the fall. “I am going to Central Washington University and I think I’m going to try to walk onto their team,” said Fritz. “I plan to study secondary education because I want to teach math.” Zachry has a similar goal to Fritz, who mentioned coming back home after college to share her skills with a younger generation by helping to coach softball

Haley is walking on, but I don’t want to. She is doing the same thing as me, going to Central for teaching to come back and teach math at M-P, and maybe coach with my dad as well.” Nickolson also mentioned returning to visit Coach Zachry after college. “He has taught me so

much growing up,” said Nickolson, who will play volleyball and softball at Olympic College in Bremerton next year. “He’s put up with me since I was a rotten little kid, all the way up to now, and I’m going to miss him a lot. I will definitely come back and see him.” Nickolson’s career goals echo those of Fritz and Zachry, but she is keeping her options open. “I either want to be a kindergarten teacher or do something with sports med-

icine,” she said. Despite the excitement and uncertainty involved with going off to college, this trio of Tomahawks will always have each other to lean on. “The senior season was really sad because we all knew it was going to end eventually,” said Nickolson. “I’m glad how it ended. I made so many new friends. I’m never going to forget them. It’s great to finish out my senior year with the other girls I played with growing up.”

Marysville celebrates Juan Mendoza with Memorial Mile BY LAUREN SALCEDO lsalcedo@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Hundreds of Marysville community members gathered at the Marysville Getchell High School track on Friday, May 31, to honor

the memory of 16-year-old student and athlete Juan Mendoza, who was killed in a car accident on Oct. 24, 2011. The Juan Mendoza Memorial Mile is an event that was held for the first time last year, created by

Lauren Salcedo/Staff Photo

Runners take off from the starting line of the Juan Mendoza Memorial Mile on May 31.

MG teacher and coach Jaci Legore Hodgins, who had Mendoza in one of her classes. “Jaci had Juan as a student and decided last year that we should host an event to honor him. He was so popular — he was one of those magic kids who everyone loved. Teachers, coaches, staff and students loved him,” said Sheila Anderson of the Marysville Getchell Booster Club. “We wanted to do something near the soccer field because he was such a talented soccer player. Eventually we settled on the track, doing three events.” The first event is known as the “Getchell Mile” — an MGHS physical education department invention that equates to roughly 1.66

miles and involves exiting the track to run around the tennis courts and back on each lap. That was followed by a mile run and a one-lap memorial walk. “The best part about this is that it is a family event,” said Anderson. “The last lap is so everyone can participate — wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, anyone.” Juan’s younger sister Kristina Mendoza, a sophomore at MG, designed shirts for the runners. The shirts, depicting a soccer ball with a halo and wings on the front, and the words “Drive Safe” on the back, were donned by a majority of race participants. “I knew I wanted to design a shirt, and I thought of this because I think of Juan as being my little

angel,” said Mendoza, who described the difficulty in dealing with the loss of her brother. “It was hard to come back to school,” she said. “This is amazing though. This is a way for his legacy to continue. I don’t want people to forget about him. I want people to come so he’ll be remembered.” Kristina plays soccer for the Chargers, and said she was influenced by her older brother Juan. “I got into soccer because of him,” she said. “My older brothers were always my role models.” When Kristina first heard about the idea of hosting a memorial run for Juan, she was surprised and happy. “I was excited. I realized how many people really cared for him,” she

said. “It’s hard for me to see his friends graduating this year, because he would have been doing the same. But I’ve surrounded myself with great friends, and Jaci Legore has been such a big help to me.” Mayor Jon Nehring was once again in attendance, both as a community leader and a friend of the Mendoza family. “We are here to support Juan and his family — they are close friends of ours. Juan and my son Nathan were very close friends and I think it’s important to keep his memory alive,” said Nehring, who plans to attend the memorial mile every year. “I think this is something Juan would have loved and we’ll mark our calendars every year.”

Lakewood School District considers bond

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Lakewood School Board’s study session at the Arlington Airport on Wednesday, May 29, addressed the ways in which the Lakewood School District will strive to inform its constituents about issues such as its capital project and its planned bond. Lori Simpson and Kelly McPherson of Educational Service District 112 explained the importance of conducting research, paying attention to the voters’ feedback, branding the bond campaign, identifying effective communication tools and being proactive with the media. “You need to figure out

the voters’ concerns and priorities, so that you can increase their investment,” said McPherson, who noted that the Lakewood School District’s voter base of approximately 8,000 has a turnout of 55 percent, which increases to 68 percent among voters older than 45 years. “It’s not just about facilities,” Simpson said. “You can use online videos as testimonials. It doesn’t have to be expensive. It can even be student-produced.” Simpson added that the district should engage its stakeholders, and pledged that a timeline of the bond process was in the works to help inform voters further. Fred Owyen, with facilities support for the

Lakewood School District, provided the summer capital project update, and explained that the district is taking part in purchasing cooperatives that allow it to secure lower bids than it would be able to obtain independently. “These are top-tier companies and subcontractors who have reputations at stake, because they don’t want to jeopardize their national-level contracts,” Owyen said. “It’s a very collaborative process as well, where they’ll work with what we want.” Michael McGavock of McGranahan Architects and David Hruska of Areva T&D closed out the evening by detailing phase one of the district’s bond planning,

which they emphasized was in its most initial stages. “We’re trying to uncover a lot of unknowns, because getting a sense of the scope after we’ve worked on the bond is backward,” said McGavock, who nonetheless projected a need for a capacity of 900 students at the new Lakewood High School facility. “Because property values are down, just to collect the same amount of dollars, the tax rate will have to go up.” McGavock and Hruska identified the current Lakewood High School facility’s multiple unregulated entry points and ambiguous front entrance as just a few of

its functional problems. To that end, Hruska proposed extending the main building to the east in a wishbone configuration, to cover the areas currently occupied by multiple portable buildings, while also providing a relatively enclosed outdoor commons for students. “This design takes down the 47 blue dots of entryways to two,” Hruska said. “It also gives us room to expand further.” McGavock pointed out that the proposed design would also create more cohesive groupings of classroom subjects and open up more instructional spaces to daylight. However, with

the $48 million in property tax revenues projected in the 2010-11 school year having shrunk to $32 million in 2011-12, he acknowledged that there is a considerable gulf between the projected revenues and the range of $63 million to $68 million for the estimated price tag of such a facility, even as he reiterated that this is still an extremely initial estimate. “Which is why we need to find out where the voters see the most value,” McGavock said. “At the same time, we don’t want to miss the current window of lower interest rates and construction costs. Either way, these stats will change.”
