these hours could prove challenging for working parents.
Marysville’s Karen Totten made it that afternoon with her eighth-grade daugh-ter Leanna, and they both learned a great deal about the options available to Leanna.
“I didn’t know there were this many colleges,” laughed Leanna Totten, who is con-sidering careers in psychol-ogy or social work because she wants to help people.
“Seeing something like this right before she starts high school not only helps
her plan which colleges she might want to attend, but which classes she should take in high school to get there,” Karen Totten said.
Kalob Boston had attend-ed the Opportunity Expo earlier in the day with his fellow Marysville 11th-graders, but he came back with his mom Amy to con-tinue checking out its selec-tion.
“Each booth had its own completely different feel,” said Kalob Boston, who is weighing engineering, chemistry and computer programming as career options. “But they all had information on what I needed to do to prepare.”
“I had no idea what to do for him, so this was really helpful for me as well,” Amy Boston said. “Everyone was really easy to talk to.”
Not only was eighth-grader Faith Verburg able to explore options beyond her tentative preference for nursing as a career, but so too was her mother Jennifer able to find pro-grams that would help her complete her own career goal of becoming a certified nutritionist. Likewise, 11th-graders Emily Romeis of Lakewood and Sierra Reed of Lake Stevens consulted with college representatives who advised them how they should proceed given that
they’ll both graduate high school with the equivalents of associate’s degrees.
“It’s nice to have someone help you figure out how long different degrees would take to get,” Romeis said.
“There’s a lot of differ-ent paths that are available here,” Reed said. “I’d defi-
nitely recommend it.”Marysville School
District Superintendent Dr. Larry Nyland deemed the Opportunity Expo in keep-ing with the district’s goals of success for students in a variety of career paths, and echoed Runyon in crediting the partnerships between
the district, the Tulalip Tribes and the Marysville Rotary with making the event possible.
“The entire community comes together through this Opportunity Expo to com-municate the importance of education to these young people.”

Dennis.At the age of 16, this year marked the
fourth “Clean Sweep” for Alex Stribling, but her first planting trees and shrubs at the Qwuloolt Estuary.
“I just like to help out,” said Alex, whose 13-year-old brother Nick was shoveling mulch while she applied mulch around a freshly planted sapling. “I’d done the graf-fiti paint-out a couple of times, and picked up trash too. I like to see the community benefit from the things we do. If you can help out, you should. Plus, it’s a great way to get together with your family and meet new people.”
Marysville’s Bennett Nier, 8, looked on in rapt fascination as Walt Rung, an ecolo-gist with the Adopt A Stream Foundation, explained how placing protective sleeves around the bases of young trees not only prevents rodents from eating them or weeds from crowding them out, but also serves as a mini-greenhouse.
“This is actually the second wave of planting in this area,” Rung said. “The first one was by Sound Salmon Solutions, but a number of those plants died, at least a few from being choked out by reed canary grass. Once these trees grow tall enough, they’ll shade out the reed canary grass, but in the meantime, the reed canary grass always runs the risk of shading them out.”
“It’s nice that everybody came come out to do this, even if it is just for one day,” said
Bennett’s dad, Chad Nier. “When you come out to clean up your neighborhoods and plant some trees, you get to meet more of your neighbors, and who knows, maybe you’ll decide to do it again the next week.”
Erin Martin of the Washington Conservation Corps estimated that approx-imately 100 volunteers planted about 300 native trees and shrubs at the Qwuloolt Estuary, which she deemed important not only for the ecosystem, but also to foster environmental mindsets among future gen-erations.
“We have to teach the young people, because they’re the ones who will keep this going,” Martin said. “I’ve overheard these kids using the proper plant names while they were working, which means they’re learning.”

MARYSVILLE — Plans for a new roundabout on a busy stretch of State Route 9 are taking shape, and local drivers and residents are invited to attend an open house to learn more about it. On Wednesday, April 24, the pub-lic will have an opportunity to review plans for the roundabout at the intersection of SR 9 and 84th Street NE (Getchell Road), look at before-and-after images and talk with Washington State Department of Transportation staff.
“This road is getting busier for commuters and freight traffic,” said WSDOT Engineering Manager Bill James. “Replacing the signal at Getchell Road with a round-
about will improve both safety and the flow of traffic. Drivers won’t need to stop at a light anymore, or, worse yet, try to beat it. The roundabout will not only get cars through there faster, it’ll get them through more safely.”
The open house will be held from 5-6 p.m. at the Marysville Getchell High School campus, and a formal, limited-access hearing will follow. Presided over by a judge, the hear-ing will provide an opportunity for nearby property owners and inter-ested citizens to comment on limit-ing access to properties immediate-ly next to the planned roundabout. The testimony will be confined to limited-access issues. Residents who want to offer thoughts on the
roundabout may submit written comments.
The meeting site is acces-sible to persons with disabilities. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be arranged with advance notice by calling 206-770-3500. For those unable to attend the meeting, public testimony and comments can be mailed to Omar Jepperson, Project Engineer, 600 108th Ave. NE, Suite 405, Bellevue, WA 98004.
This intersection was the site of 43 collisions from 2007-12. Studies by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Federal Highway Administration have shown that roundabouts can reduce overall collisions by more than 30
percent and injury collisions by 75 percent. Additionally, round-abouts can increase traffic flow at an intersection by 30-50 percent. The WSDOT website has more
information about roundabouts at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/SR9/84thRoundabout and www.wsdot.wa.gov/Safety/roundabouts/washingtons.htm.

4 The Arlington Times • The Marysville Globe April 24, 2013THE PUBLIC FORUM
Medical experts say eat-ing a Mediterranean diet that’s high in
fruits, vegetables, nuts, olive oil and fish is one of the best things we can do to reduce our risk of heart attack and stroke. Eating more fish and other seafood is a healthy choice as long as those foods don’t come from polluted waters. We think the state of Washington needs to make sure our waters stay clean.
Washington uses one of the lowest fish consumption rates in the country — about 6.5 grams a day, or one 8-ounce fish meal a month — to set rules for how much pollution that industry can put in our waters. That rate is supposed to protect us from more than 100 toxins that can make us sick or kill us, but it was set more than 20 years ago. Even the state Department of Ecology recognizes that the inaccurate rate does not protect most of us who live in Washington, a state with one of the largest popula-tions of seafood consumers in the country.
We should not face an
increased risk of illness from toxic chemicals when we try to improve our health by eating seafood. Washington’s fish con-sumption rate should be at least as protective as Oregon’s, which has been raised to 175 grams, or about one fish meal per day. Plenty of scientific evidence sup-ports an increase to that amount or more.
Treaty tribes have been try-ing for years to get Ecology to update the fish consumption rate. Our health and our treaty rights depend on our food being safe to eat.
Work to raise the rate finally began last year, but about half-way through the process Ecology did an about-face and progress skidded to a halt. The cause? A phone call from industry repre-
sentatives who said revising the rate would be bad for our econo-my because it would increase the cost of doing business.
We’re trying to get the pro-cess back on track, and remain hopeful that Gov. Inslee and new Ecology Director Maia Bellon can help make it hap-pen. We’re also working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to form a Government Leadership Group to move for-ward.
It’s not going to be easy, though. We’re up against some powerful interests.
Opponents claim federal water quality standards in place here already protect all of us. But how can that be, if we already know the fish consumption rate is wrong? Their answer is that existing rules can include a larger fish consumption rate as long as those who eat more fish accept a higher risk of getting cancer.
Imagine that. What they’re saying is that most people in Washington would be protected by a rate of risk that one in one million people will get cancer
from toxins in water. But for anybody who eats more than one seafood meal per month, includ-ing Indians, Asians and Pacific Islanders, that risk rate can be as high as one in 10,000. That’s unacceptable. Current state law requires cancer risk rates to pro-tect everyone at the rate of one in a million. That standard should remain unchanged.
There’s no question that sea-food is good for us, but it won’t be that way for long if pollution is allowed to contaminate the waters it comes from. It is unjust for Indian people and others who consume a lot of seafood to be at greater risk for getting cancer than everyone else.
Developing a more realistic fish consumption rate and keep-ing risk standards in place to protect our health is a matter of justice — social justice and envi-ronmental justice — for every-one who lives here. None of us deserves anything less.
Billy Frank Jr. is the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

ARLINGTON — The Getchell Firefighters Association’s annual pan-cake breakfast took on a collateral duty on Saturday, April 20, as the firefight-ers and emergency medical technicians of Getchell Fire
Station 68 raised funds not only for themselves, but also for their fellow firefighters and EMTs in West, Texas, in the wake of the deadly fertilizer plant explosion on Wednesday, April 17.
“We were up late the night before deciding how to do this,” said Getchell
Firefighters Association Public Information Officer Nat Burnett, who explained that the GFA would be matching up to $1,000 of the dollars donated by breakfast attendees. “We’re still determining the exact organizations that we want this routed through, but we
know that we want it to go to the guys who were on the scene and fought the blaze, as well as the families of those whose perished doing their duty that day.”
Mitch Pearson, the fire-fighter and EMT who coor-dinated this year’s break-fast fundraiser, estimated that the more than 1,200 attendees between 7 a.m. and noon contributed at least $1,500 in exchange for freshly cooked pancakes, eggs and sausages, plus milk and other beverages, served up by a dozen firefighters and 17 applicants for their upcoming academy.
“That money usually gets
devoted to something big during the year, like supplies or training,” said fellow fire-fighter/EMT Zack Smith. “I don’t believe that purchase has been determined for this year, but every contribution from the community helps since our budgets are down just like everyone else’s.”
Smith and Pearson agreed that the community has remained commendably supportive of this annual event, even in the midst of this year’s dreary downpour.
“I was expecting a lot less people due to the weather,” said Pearson, who reported that one breakfast attendee has shown up for pancakes
and eggs five years in a row.Pearson thanked National
Foods for supplying the eggs, Silvana Meats for donating all the sausage links and Fred Meyer for providing the pancake batter. The Getchell Firefighters Association bought the beverages from Costco with their own money.
“All things told, it went pretty smoothly,” said Pearson, who coordinated the event for the first time this year.
Getchell Fire Station 68 is located at 8424 99th Ave. NE in Arlington. If you have questions, please call Fire Station 68 at 360-659-6400.

Naval Station Everett Festival canceled this year
EVERETT — Naval Station Everett has traditionally offered the public a chance to visit the base and see a ship tour as a part of the local community’s annual summer Independence Day celebration. After care-ful consideration, the decision has been made to cancel the event this year in order to meet budget constraints.
Last year, approximately 5,000 people attended the event. The base had also cancelled its festival in 2011, due to height-ened security posture required of all Navy installations and units.
Army Reserve unit to hold remembrance run May 4
MARYSVILLE — The 364th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit headquartered locally, will hold a five-kilometer run on the morning of May 4, in memory of those killed and injured during the April 15 bombings at the Boston Marathon.
The event will start at 7 a.m. at the Armed Forces Reserve Center located at 13613 40th Ave. NE in Marysville.
A moment of silence for those killed and hurt in the blasts will be held before the start of the run.
MARYSVILLE — With its change of venue from Arlington to Marysville the third annual prom dress exchange and second annu-al accompanying fashion show on Saturday, April 20, bolstered the previous years’ numbers of dresses, shop-pers and models.
“Last year, we had 10 models who were all from Arlington,” said event organizer Emily Peterson, who noted that this year’s models num-bered five from Arlington, four from Marysville, two from Lakewood and one each from Darrington and Stanwood. “We also had a little more than 125 prom dress shoppers this year, and close to 200 people overall, including parents and other family members, who came from Darrington and Everett and everywhere in-between. That’s about double the attendees from the previous year.”
Also double the previous year’s totals were the nearly 500 dresses collected this
year, an estimated 125 of which left with new owners on the day of the exchange.
“Another 50 or so are going into storage for next year’s event, and the remaining 325 are going to Kids’ Kloset in Arlington to be sorted,” Peterson said. “We work hand-in-hand with Kids’ Kloset so that many of the dresses they store and keep we’ll have access to again next year, as well as the ability to allow girls to borrow dresses year-round for formal events. Any dresses remaining after that are going to a similar dress exchange event that happens in Tacoma.”
Peterson explained that Arlington and Marysville businesses sponsor this annual event to assist par-ents of high school seniors as they struggle to cover the costs of formalwear and cosmetics for all the social and career occasions that are slated increasingly close together as graduation approaches.
“Not only are we able to collect hundreds of dresses to gift to those in need, but we’re also able to partner
students with local business-es that can provide services at discounted prices, some-times even for free. These young ladies and gentlemen also get a chance to partici-pate in a photo shoot and fashion show, which is an opportunity many of them will never get otherwise and, again, the businesses who help make this happen are incredible.”
Peterson deemed this year “fantastic” and cited the numbers of students who return to volunteer and donate to the event, as well as the families who con-tinue to spread the word
about it.“By keeping this a close
grassroots type of event, we’re able to work direct-ly with the young women whom we’re helping,” Peterson said. “One hun-dred percent of the costs to put this event on are raised or donated within the plan-ning committee — and I estimate that at $7,000 eas-ily — so 100 percent of any donations received for the event are donated to Kids’ Kloset to support its ‘Prom Closet’ year round. If it wasn’t for the businesses, there is no way this event could happen.”

TULALIP — The discov-ery of a suspicious object at the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino on the evening of Tuesday, April 16, was met with caution in the wake of the Boston bombing on the previous day, but no one was harmed by the object.
“There were no threats issued by anyone,” said Ken Kettler, president and COO of the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino. “It was just this guy who came in with it, saying, ‘Hey, look at what I found.’ I actually think he was trying to be a hero.”
According to Kettler, the object’s discovery resulted in a shutdown of the front entrance area for at least an hour as Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino staff waited for the arrival of law enforce-ment personnel.
Shari Ireton, director of communications for the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s
Office, explained that the object was found outside of the hotel’s entrance, and was called in as resembling a black bottle.
The Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad, whose members include Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office personnel, respond-ed by taking the object to “Boom City” and detonat-ing it with C-4.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Mark Francis con-firmed that the call report-ing “a suspicious package containing an unknown substance” was placed at 9:54 p.m., and that the object was removed and disposed of at 12:21 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17.
“The threat wasn’t consid-ered high enough to require an analysis,” Ireton said. “It was just considered safer to detonate it. There was a person whom we detained for questioning, but he was later released.”

MARYSVILLE — The Charger boys soccer team fought against Oak Harbor on Friday, April 19, in a home game that ended in a scoreless tie.
Despite not scoring a goal, the MG team sees the
outcome of Friday’s game as an improvement.
“Our team started out 0-5,” said head coach Geoff Kittle. “Now in the last seven games we’ve won four, lost two and tied one. We are really starting to do well. The last time we played this team we lost 4-2 and now
it’s 0-0, and for our team to continually get better is great. I feel like our team is getting hot at the right time. To be in second place right now in the Wesco 3A North division is great considering that at the beginning of the season, after a couple games, we were dead last. To make
that jump right now and be in a good position to be in a playoff spot, it’s great.”
The Chargers’ defense had a lot to do with keep-ing them on top, as sev-eral players noted after the game. Goalkeeper Cameron Carter had at least four major saves in the last 12 minutes of regular play and the two five-minute over-time quarters.
“Cameron’s got his third shutout of the season and I believe he is leading the Wesco 3A North with shut-outs right now, so that’s really great,” said Kittle.
Marysville Getchell is in their second year of varsity athletics and the team has had some changes from last season to now.
“Last year we had a bunch of foreign exchange stu-dents,” said Kittle. “We had a guy who scored 20 goals for us up top. Whereas this year, we have had to restruc-ture to figure out how to score. Nate Nehring has been doing a lot of that for us. We started out the sea-son with him as an outside back, but now that we are putting him as forward he
has been doing a great job of combining working the middle and giving us a lot of attack. Since we moved him up to forward he has scored four goals for us. A lot of the other guys are stepping up, like Tanner Shauger who scored two goals in the last game, and our center back who is the second leading scorer on our team. Our seniors have stepped up to start putting things in the back of the net and help us start winning games.”
The Chargers competed against their crosstown rivals, the Tomahawks, on Monday, April 22, and bat-tled to a 2-0 victory over Marysville-Pilchuck.
“About one more win and we’ll make the playoffs. If we can get through M-P and Shorecrest, if we can get a win there, that would be great. And it would be amazing if Stanwood can slip and we can catch Stanwood. I think our guys are hoping that we can beat Stanwood in our last game of the season and be Wesco North champs.”
The Chargers face Shorecrest away on Wednesday, April 24.
MARYSVILLE — The Tomahawks boys soc-cer team beat Wesco 3A south opponent Mountlake Terrace in a home game on Friday, April 19, 1-0.
Freshman Ariaan Cardenas scored the lone goal in the 78th minute, with an assist from junior Ryan Spiva. Marysville’s goalkeep-er was also a freshman, Cole Bradley-Kuk, who along with the Tommies’ defense, kept MLT shut out.
“I thought our midfield played really well,” said head coach Paul Bartley. “Our starting goalie, Ryan Spiva, we moved to outside mid, because we’ve had so many injuries in the midfield. He’s been doing really well. He got the assist on the goal, which was scored in the 78th minute, and since we play 80 minutes, it was kind of dramatic.”
The Tomahawks compet-ed against the Chargers at home on Monday, April 22, and lost to their crosstown rivals 2-0.
“We have to win out if we are going to make it into the playoffs,” said Bartley. M-P is currently fourth in the Wesco 3A North division.
“Last year we made it into the playoffs, but we had 14 seniors graduate last spring as well,” said Bartley, who hopes the team will make it to the playoffs despite being relatively young. “I think we can do it if we put every-thing together. We’ve been playing better together as a team, and since we only have one senior on our team, everyone is learning their roles. If we bring it all together, I think we have a good shot of making it into the playoffs.”
Following the Monday game against the Chargers, the Tomahawks face Everett at home on Friday, April 26, at 7 p.m.

TULALIP — Dr. Robert Ballard discovered the sunken wreckage of the Titanic in 1985, but rather than rest on his laurels he’s started programs designed to allow future generations to make far more sig-nificant discoveries after he’s gone, and he wants to give the kids at the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club a chance to count themselves among those explorers.
Ballard spoke to children and adults alike at the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club on Wednesday, April 17, about how their club’s Immersion and Tech Center will let them join him at the bottom of the ocean this summer, when he sends out a fleet of underwater robots to serve as their eyes and ears in environ-ments that are deeply inhospitable to humans.
“We’re not designed for the oceans,” Ballard told the crowd of children in the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club gymnasium, as he com-pared the process to putting his mind into the body of a Na’vi in James Cameron’s Avatar. “I wanted
to send my spirit out at the speed of light. By sending my own avatar down to the depths, other people can take over its operations when I go to bed, so I never have to bring it back up.”
Not only did Ballard proudly declare that he appreciates this remote technology because “I like being at home with my children on the beach,” but he boldly pre-dicted that such high-speed com-munication will eventually allow most people to work from home, in his case while being able to tele-conference with his researchers on the water 24 hours a day.
“With signals beaming off those ships in real time, you’ll see them here at the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club the exact same moment that I see them,” Ballard said. “God bless the Tulalip Tribes for invest-ing in high-bandwidth Internet.”
Ballard made no attempt to conceal his goal of recruiting some young people from the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club to take part in his ships’ next voyage, and noted his progressive policies of not only maintaining a mandatory mini-
mum of 55 percent women in posi-tions of leadership and authority on his teams, but also deliberately diversifying the education levels of his team members.
“A football team has about 50 members, but only about three of them are quarterbacks, because you need people who can play all sorts of other positions,” Ballard said. “I see people with PhDs the same way. If I had a boat full of nothing but PhDs, it would run aground. I need an entire cornu-copia of talent, and I want to brag about you guys to other people.”
When Ballard met with Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. and Vice Chair Deborah Parker, Ballard and Parker expressed sim-ilar sentiments about the spiritual nature of his explorations, with Parker pointing out Ballard’s deci-sion to leave the remains of the Titanic in place.
“I’ll admit, there was that devil sitting on my shoulder when I found a safe in the Titanic, but ultimately I decided that would have been grave-robbing,” Ballard said. “You don’t go to Gettysburg
with a shovel.”Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino
President and COO Ken Kettler, who helped run Ballard’s audiovi-sual presentation to the children, received praise for the proceeds that made the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club’s Immersion and Tech Center possible.
“We have more children in
school now than at any time in our nation’s history,” Ballard said. “Their generations will explore more of this Earth than all the pre-vious generations. They’re not the mop-up crew, but the vanguards of history. One of my grandma’s sayings was that a great person plants a tree knowing he’ll never get to sit in its shade.”

Dr. Robert Ballard, who discovered the Titanic in 1985, is lauded by Robbie Callaway, who was instrumental in bringing Boys & Girls Clubs to Native American reservations such as Tulalip, for the remote exploration that he’ll be bringing to the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club this summer through its Immersion and Tech Center.

Unintentional poisonings are at a record high in Snohomish County. The most recent information shows that, in 2011, the number of such poi-sonings affected 150 county residents, more than triple the 46 reported in 2000.
You can help reduce the chance of unintentional poisonings by dis-posing of your unwanted medicines on National Drug Take-back Day on Saturday, April 27, at multiple loca-tions in Snohomish County.
“Unintentional poisonings frequent-ly involve prescription drugs,” said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, Health Officer and Director of the Snohomish Health
District, who added that such poison-ings not only harm people, but improp-erly discarded drugs can also harm the environment when they enter septic systems and household trash.
To help protect the public’s safety and health, area law enforcement agencies and Bartell Drug will partici-pate in National Drug Take-back Day on Saturday, April 27, at sites through-out the county. Locations and hours are listed on the Snohomish Health District’s website at www.snohd.org, or can be obtained by calling 425-388-3199. These sites will accept unused, expired and unwanted prescription drugs, including narcotic painkillers
and other medications.All police departments in the
county have drop-boxes available year-round, Monday through Friday, including the NCIS office at Naval Station Everett, the Washington State Patrol office in Marysville, and tribal police stations on the Tulalip and Stillaguamish reservations.
Only law enforcement locations can accept controlled substances, such as Ativan and OxyContin. All items should be left in their original containers.
The Saturday drug-return hours support the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s “National Drug Take-back
Day,” through participation by the Snohomish County Partnership for Secure Medicine Disposal. Partnership members include the Snohomish Health District, Snohomish County, the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s office, the Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force, the Washington State Patrol and all local law enforce-ment agencies.
The Arlington Police Department’s drop-off location is open from 10 a.m. to noon at 110 E. Third St. in Arlington, while the Marysville Police Department’s drop-off location is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1635 Grove St. in Marysville.
Get rid of unwanted medicines on April 27
MARYSVILLE — The seventh annual Marysville Poochapalooza is seeking interested pet-related busi-nesses and “people food” vendors for Snohomish County’s biggest outdoor dog event, a summertime dog festival celebrating pet lovers and their four-legged best friends.
This year’s event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, at Strawberry Fields Athletic Park, located at 6100
152nd St. NE in Marysville. Poochapalooza is spon-sored by the Marysville Dog Owners Group.
“It’s like a county fair for dogs, without the rides,” Poochapalooza Founder and M-DOG President Leslie Buell said. “We host Poochapalooza as a fun day out for pet lovers, and to highlight pooches at their best and brightest.”
Public admission is free, but $5 minimum donations are greatly welcomed, with
goodie-filled “wag bags” provided to the first 400 vis-itors. Poochapalooza dona-tions, event sponsorships and vendor fee proceeds support park improvements at Marysville’s Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park, and ongoing steward-ship of the park as provided by M-DOG on behalf of the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department, as well as contributing toward costs for making “The Pooch” bigger and better
for participants.“This is M-DOG’s major
fundraiser for the off-leash dog park, and the proceeds from this event go toward supplies, repairs and special projects,” Buell said. “We are 95 percent to comple-tion of our small dog area within the dog park. The small dog area is for dogs 25 pounds or smaller, so they can socialize and enjoy the park with dogs their size.”
Dozens of pet vendor booths, a regional flying disc
championship, a Flyball competition, a couple of surprise new additions, including a wiener dog race and Skyhoundz discs, and many “Best in Show” con-tests are just some of the activities and exhibitions rounding out a full day of activities for dogs and their owners.
“Dog tournaments are back,” Buell said. “We still have our pet contests and pie-eating contest, along with canine ‘Good Citizen’ testing all day long, Seattle Flydog Flyball, demon-strations on First Aid and CPR, ‘Reading with Rover,’ nail-trimming and our third annual ‘Fashions and Rescues’ runway dog show, showcasing adoptable res-cue dogs from five local rescue groups.”
Vendor forms, booth
prices and general event information are available on the Poochapalooza website at http://poochapa-looza.org. Submit forms by May 1 to take advantage of cost-saving early bird rates. For more information, contact Buell by phone at 425-268-5285 or via email at [email protected].
M-DOG is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group made up of all volunteers. To find out more about M-DOG, its meetings and work par-ties at the dog park, go to www.m-dog.org.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring honored Jodi Hiatt and Carol Kapua as the Volunteers of the Month for March for their hard work and dedication to the community’s crown jewel of events, the Marysville Strawberry Festival.
“By far and away, Carol and Jodi’s greatest legacy to our community is their long-time involvement and lead-ership with the Strawberry Festival,” said Nehring at a recent City Council meeting where the two were hon-ored. “It is with great thanks to people like Carol, Jodi, the Maryfest Board and vol-unteers for all the behind-the-scenes work and dedi-cation that goes into mak-ing the Strawberry Festival a success each year.”
The Strawberry Festival has drawn more than 100,000 people to Marysville on the third week of June for going on 82 years.
Hiatt and Kapua are also involved in various other forms of community vol-unteering aside from their work with the festival.
Jodi Hiatt, who co-owns Marysville Everett Ceramic Tile with her husband John, has always reached out to help her commu-nity, according to Beckye Randall, who nominated her. Currently, Hiatt also serves on the board of the Marysville Arts Coalition with Randall, as a strong advocate for creating an arts culture in Marysville. She is also active with Pennies for Puppies and Ponies. Hiatt’s volunteer work for the Strawberry Festival is equally expansive. She has served as president of the Strawberry Festival for multiple years. Some of the roles she has served for the festival include on the Market Committee, and as the Car Show liaison and Pageant director.
Carol Kapua, although retired, still works by help-ing out her community in more ways than one. Like her fellow Volunteer of the Month award-winner, Kapua has also been a multi-year past president for the Strawberry Festival.
She serves on the Grand Parade and Fireworks com-mittees, as the Carnival and School District liaisons, and on the Sponsorship and Donation and Royalty committees. The amount of time and effort Kapua puts into the Strawberry Festival is comparable to that of a full-time job. Kapua also volunteers at the Tulalip Senior Center, where she helps the seniors with arts and crafts projects once a week. She is also an advo-cate for a special-needs woman.
“She is always one of the first people to offer her help when needed,” said Angie Miller, current co-vice president and a past presi-dent for the Strawberry Festival, who nominated Kapua. “I feel very honored to know her and call her a friend.”
Nehring said that many people may not realize that there is an entirely different side of the festival that resi-dents don’t see, that makes their involvement a year-round commitment. The Strawberry Festival is part of the Northwest Festival Hosting Association, an organization made up of festivals throughout the Pacific Northwest. The fes-tivals work together and commit to supporting each other’s events by sending a delegation to each mem-ber festival. Nehring noted that this is especially help-ful for making sure that parades have plenty of col-orful floats from one city to the next, but also acknowl-edged that this means lots of travel and hosting through-out the year. Typically, the Strawberry Festival float and crew, along with the festival royalty, attend more than two dozen parades during the sum-mer through Washington, Oregon and across the bor-der in Canada.
“In that respect, Carol and Jodi are frontline ambassa-dors for Marysville, so they know how important it is to leave a good and last-ing impression with other festival communities,” Nehring said. “Marysville has an outstanding reputa-tion among festival com-munities, and it’s because of hard-working volunteers like Carol and Jodi.”
Nehring said Hiatt and Kapua are incredible exam-ples for people to look up
to, and are loved by their friends and families for their kindness and spirit. It is for their hard work and community involvement that they have been recog-nized as the Volunteers of the Month for March.

Strawberry Festival’s Hiatt, Kapua honored for work, dedication
MARYSVILLE — The Strawberry Fields Athletic Park gained even more green-ery during an otherwise gray rainy morning on Friday, April 19, as 75 students from
the Marysville Cooperative Education Program at Marshall Elementary braved the downpour to plant more than 1,000 trees along the park’s western border.
“We’ve got Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and Shore Pine all well represented here,”
said Michael Kundu, found-er and director of Project SeaWolf, which has coor-dinated several such tree-plantings, often by local students, throughout the Marysville area and its sur-rounding environs. “This planting is looking especially good. I think we’ve got a record for muddy faces,” he laughed.
“I’m soaked and filthy, but I had fun,” said Gabe Kuhlman, a fifth-grade stu-dent at the Co-op. “Trees help prevent erosion because their roots hold in the soil.”
“These kids had a great time,” said Kundu, who asked Kuhlman if he planned on coming back in future years to check up on the trees that he helped to plant, and was answered with an emphat-ic “yes.” “I remember one year, we got a letter from one kid who said that the tree-planting he went to was such fun because he got to hit another kid with a mud-ball, and the very next letter was from another kid who said how much fun he had at that tree-planting, except that he got hit with a mud-ball,” he laughed.
Marshall Elementary Principal Kelly Sheward joined her students for the early part of the planting process, and was gratified by how they seemed to be responding to the experi-ence.
“Our kids were proud to be able to give something back to the community,” Sheward said. “Some of them connected this work to the fact that they play soccer out here. Some of them even said how they’d like to see how big the trees they plant-ed will have grown, by the time they’ve grown up them-selves and are bringing their own kids to play out here. They get a sense of this tree-planting as being something much bigger than just what they did during a school day through Marshall.”
Sheward added that, due to the numbers of dis-abled students at Marshall Elementary who are unable to take part in such field trips, the school has arranged for a petting zoo to bring its animals to the school near the end of this school year, to help foster a similar emo-tional connection to nature among those students.
“We’re always looking for ways to involve all of our students,” Sheward said. “We even use the trees on our school campus for our stu-dents’ science studies.”

Marshall Co-op students plant trees at Strawberry Fields
Seventy-five students from the Marysville Cooperative Education Program at Marshall Elementary planted more than 1,000 trees at the Strawberry Fields Athletic Park in less than half the time they’d set aside on April 19.
