MARYSVILLE At noon on Saturday, June 9, the Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life had already raised $116,000 for the American Cancer Society.

By 9 a.m. on Sunday, June 10, Relay organizers were asking the remaining participants for $100 to give them an even col-lection total of $137,000.

They actually wound up going a bit over, and collecting $333 in that final hit instead.

This has been a tough year for everybody in a lot of ways, Mo Olason said. Everybody whos here wants to be here,

though, and has worked hard to be here. Im proud to be part of this cancer-fighting army.

This year at the Marysville-Pilchuck High School stadium marked Olasons last as event chair for the Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life, since Kristin Banfield will be taking over that role for next year.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring joined former Mayor Dennis Kendall at the event, and praised the dedication of all the volunteers who have put together the annual Relay.

That this many people have raised this much money makes

MARYSVILLE The gymnasium of Marysville-Pilchuck High School was overflowing on the evening of Monday, June 11, as the M-PHS Class of 2012 became the first to have its own graduation ceremony since the creation of the Small Learning Communities that now make up Marysville Getchell High School.

Youve accomplished more than any other graduat-ing class Ive seen in the past 15 years, M-PHS Principal Andrew Frost said of the stu-dents, who totaled $2 mil-lion in scholarship awards. Frost went on to praise the parents and guardians in the gyms bleachers, as well as the school staff seated before him, for helping the students achieve this milestone.

We dont make widgets at this school, Frost said. We support and challenge young people to dream big.

Valedictorians Melanie Shelton, Chris Mischenko, Courtney and Corey Coombs, John Ell and Alexa Plant elicited laughter by tak-ing a tag-team approach to their speeches at first, before each one settled into their own topic. Shelton recalled a motivational speaker who had asked her to imagine what it would be like if everyone wore chalkboards that told others the things that they couldnt say.

The point of this would be to help people realize and appreciate what those around them are going through, said Sheldon, who touted her classmates caps and gowns as akin to such

chalkboards in commu-nicating the work theyd invested in achieving their shared goal of graduation. Think about the things you have accomplished, and consider the messages that would have been displayed on your chalkboards these past four years. I especially want to commend those of you who have had personal challenges that you have overcome to get here. Those of you who have had I have a learning disability or My home life is terrible per-manently engraved on your invisible chalkboards.

Mischenko praised M-PHSs selection of sports, clubs and classes for foster-ing his classmates personal growth, and anticipated that college would help do the same.

Throughout our four years, we experienced amazing extra-curricular activities, made wonderful friends from nearly every part of the school, and learned from some of the greatest teachers how to be better people, Mischenko said. Since weve already taken such a huge step from middle school to high

school, well all be ready for the next big step in our futures.

Courtney Coombs like-wise credited the friends shed made at M-PHS with steering much of the course of her development, while Corey Coombs offered a tongue-in-cheek account of the perils of procrastination as a student.

Im no psychologist, but I think having friends with similar goals in life allows for a strong support sys-tem and is great encour-agement for anyone to accomplish what they want in life, Courtney Coombs said. I urge everyone sit-ting before me to remember these relationships youve had with others during your high school experience and, wherever you go, never for-get the memories which will forever link us together.

Procrastinating has become a habit for many of us, but we need to change that in college, the work force or whatever any of us are going into, Corey Coombs said. We cant depend on waiting until the last moment possible to get things done. We need to be responsible with our time and efficient with what we do, but that change can wait till tomorrow, he laughed.

Ell underscored Sheltons message about the impor-tance of hard work by

identifying it as a neces-sity in both high school and beyond.

In high school, working hard isnt just in the books, Ell said. Its in every part of your life, whether its sports, music, jobs and stress, not to mention getting up every morning at 6 a.m. to walk around in this gorgeous Washington weather, he laughed. Hard work takes sacrifice. Otherwise, why it would be hard?

Plant quoted two former presidents in her remarks, first by echoing Woodrow Wilsons calls to enrich the world, then by recall-ing a question shed asked Jimmy Carter at the 60th anniversary of the World Affairs Council in Seattle this January.

How might young people like us make a difference? Plant repeated her question. President Carters response was basically, Go do some-thing. If there is something we want to see change or happen, then we need to get together, talk about it and plan a course of action. As simple as it sounds, this is both empowering and true. Our voices need to and can be heard. If we follow our passions and stick to our goals, we will all find success and achieve greatness along the way.

For their reflection speech-es, Hailey Zurcher lauded

the M-PHS Class of 2012 for establishing an identity of its own, in the face of a sud-denly diminished student body on the M-PHS campus and stadium stands going from packed to nearly empty during certain events, while Morgan McFalls submitted a somewhat counterintuitive piece of advice.

I have no wise words, because Im as lost as the rest of you, said McFalls, who nonetheless went on to encourage his classmates to embrace failure. Every one of us will fail, but every remarkable thing has come from countless failures lead-ing to success.

After graduation, like many students, Jesaikah Tagi received multiple leis of dol-lar bills and candy from her family, which is a Hawaiian tradition.

Its so exciting, said Sue Tagi, Jesaikahs mom, who still has a fourth child left to graduate from the Marysville school system next year. You have to encourage your kids as they go through this.

Make sure you get involved, Fia Tagi, Jesaikahs dad, advised other parents.

Jesaikah herself plans to attend first Everett Community College, then Seattle Pacific University to become a dental hygienist, but in the meantime, she advised other students, Live life to the fullest.

me so proud of this commu-nity as its mayor, Nehring said. I hope it inspires you as much as it does me. The city of Marysville backs this event 110 percent.

J.D. Drollinger, of the National Relay Advisory Team, visited this years Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life to credit its par-ticipants with contributing both directly and indirectly to the American Cancer Societys efforts.

Relayers raise money for research, and research-ers are working to find a cure for cancer, Drollinger said. Therefore, Relayers are responsible for finding a cure for cancer.

Marilyn Hatch was named the events Hero of Hope survivor, having participated in Relay pre-viously and weathered six bouts with cancer within the past 12 years.

To this day, I dont understand why they dont give out those little packs of Kleenex at Relay, Hatch laughed, as she recalled her first Relay. It was very emotional, and from there,

I went home and let my family know that Id signed them up for Relay the next year. Ive been going to Relay ever since.

Owain Weinert was one of the younger cancer sur-vivors at this years Relay, having been diagnosed two years ago, and he and his dad Alex both touted the benefits of Camp Good Times, which takes in kids like Owain and their siblings, such as Owains brother Dylan, for a full week of activities.

It might be less practi-cal than spending money on scientific research, but it brightens the days of young cancer patients, Owain Weinert said.

We were tired, Alex Weinert said. All we saw were dark days ahead in that infusion room. Camp Good Times received our boys with open arms, and when they came back, they were different kids. Theyd even made new friends.

The national average for Relay fundraising is $33 per person, Olason said. For us, its been more than $200 per person. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.

LAKEWOOD As Lakewood High School graduates prepare to enter the real world, hundreds of LHS students spent their June 11 commencement ceremony celebrating the past and looking toward the future.

The Lakewood High School gym was filled with graduating seniors, staff, friends and family who came out to support those who were heading out to face world ahead.

Valedictorian Aaron Nech spoke to his fellow classmates. High school is much more than a public learning institution. Its a memory, he said.

I know that each one of you will move on to do great things. I see a room full of fantastically talented adults that will find their own unique place in this world whether it be as an engineer, a doctor, a teacher or simply that smiling person you can always count on.

Nech went on to dis-cuss how his experiences at Lakewood helped shape him into the person he is today.

Ive watched heartbreak, triumph and fortitude. Ive experienced love, commit-ment and selflessness. I love you guys and wouldnt trade these memories for any-thing, he said. Nech ended his speech with some wise words for the future. Keep fighting through life and never, ever give up.

Fellow valedictorian Kiley Brown said she was inspired by the stories of the indi-viduals with whom he was graduating. These indi-viduals that sit in front of you today have faced many obstacles, such as senior projects, cougar PATH

notebooks, coursework and senior presentations, all while trying to fight off senioritis. But we all made it here, for graduation, she said. But graduation is not the end of the road for Lakewood seniors.

The possibilities are endless when we believe in ourselves and our capabili-

ties, said Brown. Although we are now done with high school and it might sound clich, but it is not the end, but a new beginning. There is so much in store for the Class of 2012 and life will allow us to go further than we ever thought possible.

Student speaker Jacob Micheletti urged classmates

to embrace the future and themselves. Ill leave you with this never be afraid to follow your dreams, he said. Everything you do, do it with love in your heart. And dont be afraid to feel something for what its worth, because not much in this life is guaranteed. I wish the best of luck to every one of you.

Jeff Sowards, Lakewood history teacher and coach

for track and cross country also addressed the crowd. To graduates, he challenged them to go forward with a set of morals in mind. I challenge you to be patient, kind, respectful, committed, accepting, selfless, honest and humble, said Sowards. In short, do these things with love in your heart and your memories will be rich, full and numerous.

LHS senior Patricia Rivera

said she felt as though her time at Lakewood wasnt quite done. Im a little excit-ed, but I feel like schools not over, said Rivera.

Jacob Bruley said he was glad to be finished with high school. Im pretty excited, said Bruley, who plans to become a computer techni-cian after attending Western Washington University. I feel like Im ready to move on.

4 The Arlington Times The Marysville Globe June, 13, 2012THE PUBLIC FORUM

While community volun-teers, merchants and city of Marysville employees pulled together last April to give downtown Marysville a successful once-over spring cleaning to pol-ish its image during Clean Sweep Week, there were plenty of citizens and business owners throughout the community putting hard labor into their own yards, homes and store fronts to usher in spring.

A drive around Marysville streets and neighborhoods on a sunny day presents abundant examples of spruced-up homes and business-es tended by people who care about their properties, and take pride in their neighborhood and community.

If you are one of those residents or business owners, or you know someone who is, we want to hear from you. The city earlier this year kicked off the new Pride of Marysville neighborhood improvement awards as a way to recognize residents and business people who take pride in cleanliness, appeal and livability where they live or work.

If you havent yet nominated a home, business or neighborhood, you still have until the deadline of July 2. Nominating someone couldnt be easier; it only takes three minutes to complete our brief online form at http://marysvillewa.gov. All that is needed is the nominees address, type of property (residential or commercial), selected award category, a short sentence or two on why the property deserves to be honored, and contact information in the event that we need to reach you. We dont even mind if you nominate yourself or the other handy person or green thumb under your roof!

If you dont have access to the web, nomination brochures are also available at city offices. Complete the form in the brochure and return to Marysville City Hall, Attn: Doug Buell, Pride of Marysville Awards, 1049 State Ave., Marysville, WA 98270.

A committee will review the different selections and choose the honorees. Winners will be notified in advance, then publicly hon-ored at the July 16 City Council meeting, where they will be present-ed with engraved yard markers for placement in landscaping, yards or store frontage as a way to share their accolades with others for a much-appreciated job well done.

There are four award categories to choose from, but choose only one:

Best Home/Pride of the Neighborhood Homes consistently well-kept with well-manicured lawns and colorful landscapes, or enhanced with new paint, landscaping or other significant aesthetic improvements.

Best Block/Neighborhood Based on general/neighborhood entrance/gateway appeal and improvements made.

Partnerships with our com-munity now more than ever help us through tough times.

Marysville Rotary and Soroptimists recently provided more than $60,000 in scholarships for Marysville seniors. The Tulalip Tribes $1.26 million grant reduced class size, provided new middle school science materials and much more. Opportunity Expo 2012 brought dozens of partners together to expose 1,000 students to hun-dreds of college and career options. We celebrate success together with so many great partners includ-ing United Way, Marysville and Tulalip Boys & Girls Clubs, city of Marysville (city, police, library), Rotary, Soroptimists and Kiwanis, Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, YMCA, PTSAs, GAC,

and many, many more community businesses and parents that support our students and schools.

The National Education Association has provided multiple grants, quality professional develop-ment and featured Marysvilles work on the national stage many times. Quil Ceda and Tulalip have been recognized nationally for the way their staff works together to use data to improve student learning.

Marshall, Marysville Cooperative Education Program, and Mountain View outperformed their peers statewide in reading, math and sci-ence. Many other schools outper-formed in specific areas. Totem was recognized for their success in 8th grade Algebra. Marysville Getchell took another national grand prize for instructional design. Tenth Street Middle School and A&T High School were named two of the states Innovative Schools.

More teachers received their National Board Certifications including Sherri Ballew, Carol Beyer, Che-Mai Gray, Joseph Klomparens, Stephen Parker, Debbie Vincelette and Theresa Blake. Susan Melton earned a Fulbright Scholarship, Jim Strickland was named PTSA

Shining despite difficult times

As a district, we believe that every student can be suc-cessful so we work to pro-vide as many different opportunities as possible to engage students and foster success.

Weston High School, founded in 1986 by Linda Weston, is one of those opportunities. At that time, Linda Weston was an Assistant Principal/Vocational Director at Arlington High School. She was concerned that students who dropped out of school had no other options within the district; they needed a place to go.

With this vision in mind, Linda created the Arlington Alternative School where she remained prin-cipal until 1992. Upon retirement in 1994, the student body voted to change the name of the school

to Weston High School in Lindas honor.

Since that time, Weston High School has evolved, as have gradua-tion requirements and the needs of high school students in Arlington and the surrounding community. Currently, 172 students are enrolled for some portion of their educa-tional program. Weston offers a traditional six-period day experi-ence, houses the Online Academy

and offers a combination of the two programs to provide flexibility and engage students.

Within the traditional six-period day, Weston includes a daily half hour intervention support period called Panther Period, and the district Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) Robotics program. Panther Period provides half an hour of inter-vention support for all students. Students are assigned a specific intervention based on current per-formance data for three-week incre-ments. At the end of each three-week cycle student placement is re-evaluated and placement changes are made as needed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

has had many positive ben-efits. Students come from the other high schools in the district to participate in a year long Robotics class that meets the requirements for a third year math credit, Video Game Programming and/or 3D Animation. These three classes lay a foundation for students who wish to con-tinue their study through the Sno-Isle Skill Center DigiPen program. However, the engaging nature of these classes make them extremely enticing to students who do not wish to continue in this specific field.

Weston is looking forward to expanding our STEM offerings next year with the addition of a Guitar Manufacturing course where students will apply significant science and math to actually build an electric guitar by the end of the school year. Another new offering will be Forensic Science, where students will

participate in a year-long simulation-centered around forensic investigation of a crime scene. Both these options provide an engag-ing, hands-on experience for students to learn and apply science, technology, engi-neering and math.

For students who cannot attend the regular daytime program classes, the Online Academy is an alternative learning experience program where students develop an individualized learning plan for their progress via online curriculum. Students do most of their work inde-pendently and meet with an instructor a minimum of once per week, usually after regular school hours. What makes the Online Academy a step above other online programs is the fact that we have a district instructor on site in the evenings four days per week to meet with students, provide additional assistance, and work with parents as needed.

Westons mission doesnt stop at the end of the school year. Summer School pro-

grams are also offered at Weston High School. This year students have three different format options to continue learning and earn-ing credit through the sum-mer. Students can retrieve credit in classes they had previously failed by attend a two-hour class each day between July 9 through Aug. 3. In this option, students are required to attend for the full two hours, every day and receive individualized help of a teacher during this time. The cost is $125 for each .5 class retrieved.

Another model through the Online Academy allows students to earn credit in any online course by working independently throughout July and August and meeting with a teacher once a week. This is a great option for students who have travel plans, who have challenges with daily trans-portation or who want to take extra classes to free up their schedule for next fall.

Finally, students who have an IEP can participate in an independent sum-

mer school program, for IEP Math, IEP English, as well as an accommo-dated curriculum for World Geography, Economics, Government, U.S. History and World History. The cost for this program is $150 per class, but costs for summer school classes for all students in the Arlington School District who qualify for free or reduced lunches, and to 11th and 12th grad-ers who are behind in meeting their graduation requirements.

If you are interested in discussing any of these options for your student, please contact Amie Verellen-Grubbs at 360-618-6340. Weston High School has an incredible staff dedicated to the suc-cess of every student and we are so honored to serve the students and families in this community.

Amie Verellen-Grubbs is the Principal of Weston High School and can be reached by calling 360-618-6340 or via email at [email protected].

Whether its landscaping or remodeling, building renovations or impressive architectural design, or improvements that make a neighborhood stand out,

these efforts reflect well on the community, enhance Marysvilles appearance, and could inspire others to do the same.

The way that we improve and maintain our homes, landscaping, businesses, buildings, and gardens communicates an image of Marysville, one that we hope will promote more community and neighbor-hood pride.

Play it safe with fireworks July 4th

With the July 4th holiday

fast approaching, remember that if legal safe and sane fireworks are a part of your family and friends celebra-tions, Marysville Police and Fire District officials caution you to obey local laws and take safety precautions to prevent injury to yourself and others.

Discharging of legal fireworks is permitted from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Wednesday, July 4 only. Use of illegal fireworks, or any fireworks outside the pro-scribed day and times, car-ries stiff fines and penalties.

See the city website for more details.

Safety of individuals and property is our utmost concern. Finally, keeping in the spirit of our initiatives such as Clean Sweep Week and the Pride of Marysville Awards to create and main-tain a cleaner community and neighborhoods, we ask fireworks users to remem-ber that after you light it up, clean it up.

Mayor Jon Nehring can be reached at [email protected] or 360-363-8091.

Outstanding Advocate, Anne Carlson, was named School Security Officer of the Year, Randy Davis earned state recognition (M-P track and field), Doug Pellerin (eighth-grade football) and Marlin Fryberg, (Heritage basketball) were honored at the state and local levels by their coaching associa-tions, Heritage High School Principal Shelly Lacy was honored by Women of Color, and Anthony Craig completed his Ph.D.

In addition, students were invited to meet with President Obama (Dallas Duplessis, Tisen Fryberg, Katia Brown and Laura Enick), earned a National Merit Scholar as a junior (Stephani Hren-Graham), led their teams to earn high marks in the Knowledge Bowl, earned a perfect score on the national Latin exam, and excelled in sports, music, and drama competi-tions as well as robotics,

writing, NJROTC, and business. Miranda Cooper (Bio Med) and Theresa Ambat (Totem) were recog-nized at the state-level for PTSA Reflections, Kais Ben Mariem (ACE) received the presidential award for his community volunteer work and Haley Spooner and Stephanie Neel (MMVHS) will represent Marysville in national competition in Florida and Rafael Achacoso represented M-P at the DECA state competition.

Our Board of Directors was recognized as a Board of Distinction for their student achievement goals. Thanks to a dedicated teaching force and caring support staff, the district continued to make gains in three critical steps to success third-grade reading, eighth-grade Algebra and a 20 percent increase in graduation rates. District and school report cards (on the web) high-light other successes.

Marysville has now completed all 2006 bond construction projects

on-time and under budget including Grove Elementary, Marysville Getchell High School, land for future growth, more than promised in technol-ogy, and completion of all major repairs. Thanks to good stewardship, a part-nership with Lakewood Schools, and $8 million in state funding, we will meet one more critical need with a transportation co-op facil-ity that will reduce operat-ing costs. The district has also qualified for more than $1 million in energy grants and rebates over the last four years.

Hope and Hard Work All of this is a tribute to

the hope and hard work of our students, staff and com-munity partners. Despite $21 million in recent budget cuts, and a Supreme Court ruling that Washington state is not meeting its con-stitutional responsibility to fund schools, we still find ways to make progress on our mission: every student

100 percent proficient in reading and math, gradu-ating on time and prepared for college and career.

Hope and Hard Work a positive growth mind-set continues to be our focus. Hope and hard work matter. Hope and hard work make a difference espe-cially now in these tough times. Now, more than ever, our students need a good education and the under-standing that hope and hard work will serve them well in the future.

Thank you, Marysville partners. Thank you, Marysville staff. Thank you, Marysville students. You have demonstrated the importance of hope and hard work by creating suc-cess despite difficult finan-cial times.

Dr. Larry Nyland is the Superintendent of the Marysville School District and can be reached at 360-653-0800 or via email at [email protected].

Thanks to the Sheriffs Office

Our students, parents and staff are indebted to the Snohomish County Sheriff s Office for the rapid response and aid provided when addressing a potentially dangerous situation in our school district recently.

On behalf of Lakewood School District Staff and Board of Directors, I wanted to express my sincere grati-tude in particular to Capt. Ty Trenary, Lt. Kathi Lang, Sgt. Robert Martin, and Director of Communications Shari Ireton. Thanks to all the offi-cers as well who assisted in the recent lockdown incident having occurred throughout our district on Monday, June 4. Their approach, support and communication provid-ed throughout the incident were exemplary.

We live in tenuous times and are not insulated from potentially disastrous cir-cumstances in our area. The expeditious emergen-cy response performed by Sheriff Lovicks officers and workforce further instills in us a great deal of confi-dence and gratitude here in Lakewood School District.

Dennis Haddock, Ed.D.Superintendent

Dont be rude at Post Office

I go to the post office a couple of times a month. I have never met so many rude people that go there too.

They dont let you out of your space. They keep creep-ing forward so theres a dan-ger of backing into them. They want to be sure to get the space you are leaving.

I dont know any of them or even seen them before.

MARYSVILLE The Adult Trike Races have been cancelled for a second year a row, but the rest of the Marysville Strawberry Festivals events are still set to take place as planned.

Jodi Hiatt confirmed that the Adult Trike Races that had been scheduled for Friday, June 15, will not be able to go ahead due to a lack of participating teams.

It is a really fun spectator event and I know the teams that have participated in the past had fun, said Hiatt, who still hopes to revive the event for future Strawberry Festivals.

In the meantime, Funtastic Shows worlds finest carni-val will come back to the Marysville Middle School play field from June 14-17. The carnival hours will run from 4-10 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, and Friday, June 15, as well as until 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and until 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 17. Opening times for June 16 and 17 will depend on the weather.

This years Market in Asbery Field will also return

through the weekend of June 15-17. The Market will run from 2-9 p.m. on Friday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 17, at Asbery Field.

The Emerald City Car Club Car Show on Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will also present a vari-ety of classic restored and custom cars and trucks on site.

The Marysville Kiwanis Club will likewise be repre-sented at this years Market, through their beer garden on Friday, June 15, from 5-10 p.m., and Saturday, June 16, from noon to 6:30 p.m., on Seventh Street between Asbery Field and Totem Middle School. On Sunday, June 17, the Kiwanis will serve up a pancake breakfast from 7-11 a.m.

The Mar ysvi l le Community Food Banks raffle to raise funds for their Food For Thought program will follow the same hours as the Market at Asbery Park. This program has provided 19 low-income elementary students with enough food on Friday afternoons to feed

them through the weekends during the school year.

The children come to school on Mondays with their thoughts on school and not their stomachs, said Dell Deierling, director of the Marysville Community Food Bank. We have been providing this service to 19 kids since the start of May and the results are remark-able. Given the success of this program, we are gearing up for the 2012-13 school year in hopes of serving even more kids.

Raffle tickets will be on sale at the food banks booth at the Market. Purchase tickets for $1 each for your chance to win a $50 spa gift certificate, a $20 gift certifi-cate for Dons Restaurant, a Starbucks gift card and more. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of food to support the Food For Thought program.

The Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will take to the stage of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School audi-torium again at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 14.

The M-PHS auditorium is located at 5611 108th St. NE in Marysville, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. before the Talent Show starts. Tickets are being pre-sold for $4 and will go for $5 at the door, and children under 7 years old will be admitted for free. Call Marcy Giesler at 360-653-6584 for more information.

This years Marysville Strawberry Festival Rose Planting ceremony contin-ues on in the venue it gained in 2010.

The annual ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, at Totem Middle School, located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.

During the ceremony, which is slated to take about

an hour, representatives from the Portland Royal Rosarians will plant roses in honor of individuals in the community.

This free event is open to all ages, and light refresh-ments will be offered after-ward.

With its registration and setup time starting at 4 p.m. followed by judg-ing which commences at 5 p.m., the parade partici-pants lining up around 5:45 p.m. and the parade proper kicking off at 6 p.m. the Kiddies Parade on Saturday, July 16, offers a host of sur-prises each year, as entrants ranging from individuals to groups of 20 or more sign up for one of five catego-ries.

Bobbi Easley, who began coordinating the Kiddies Parade just last year, explained that the catego-ries have remained the same each year, from the costume categories for both indi-viduals and groups, to the animals category for pets

ranging from dogs to horses that their owners (or riders) have dressed up.

The floats categorys restriction is that its entries cant have motors, while the wheels category can include everything from bicycles to wagons.

Each of the five catego-ries of entrants will have its own staging area at the start of the Kiddies Parade route, at Totem Middle School on Seventh Street. The parade will then head south on State Avenue until it reaches Fifth Street, at which point awards will be given to the partici-pants in Comeford Park.

The grand prize winners of the Kiddies Parade will get to appear in the Grand Parade later that same day. Entry forms for the Kiddies Parade can be found online at http://maryfest.org.

The Grand Parade offi-cially starts at 7:45 p.m. on 76th Street, to ensure that entrants are rolling south-bound on State Avenue in front of the TV cameras by 8 p.m. With any luck, the parade wraps up on Third Street and Alder Avenue by 10 p.m., just in time for the half-hour fireworks show.

Carol Kapua reported that this years high school march-

ing bands are set to include both Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell, the latter making their Strawberry Festival Grand Parade debut. Likewise, while the Dolls have put in Grand Parade appearances in previous years, this year also marks the first combined performance by the Dolls & Gentlemen Drill Team and Drill Line. Although American Legion Post 178 and the Arlington Drag Strip Reunion are familiar fixtures in the area, theyve never had entries in the Grand Parade before, but like Survivor contestant Michael Jefferson of Marysville, theyll be cruising down State Avenue as part of the event this year.

Call 360-659-7664 for more information.

The Boys and Girls Clubs Marysville Unit is hosting its own open house to coin-cide with the Strawberry Festival on Friday, June 15, from 6-8 p.m. at 1010 Beach Ave. The open house is free and will include a barbecue, games and other activities. The event will also includes sign-up opportunities for the clubs summer camps. For more information con-tact Christina Trader at 360-659-2576.

MARYSVILLE Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed laughed as he described his visit to the Rotary Club of Marysville on Wednesday, June 6, as part of his farewell tour, but even though this marks the last of his 45 years of public service, Reed offered a serious message of con-cern for the future.

Reed urged the Rotarians and their guests at the noon luncheon to focus their efforts on fostering civility, moderation and bipartisan-ship, not only within their local community, but also among those whom they support for elected office, on up to the state and national levels.

Between talk radio, cable and blogs, the noisi-est get the most attention, Reed said. The debt cri-sis just last year was one of the worst examples, but even when we discuss whats going on in the National Association of Secretaries of State, everyone agrees that nothings happening right now. Its all gridlocked.

Reed identified the mem-bers of community ser-vice organizations such as Rotary and Kiwanis, the lat-ter of which he belongs to, as the leaders within their communities, and antici-pated that candidates for office would seek out local Rotarians endorsements.

Dont support people who operate in a polem-ic way, said Reed, a Republican who has none-theless advised candidates from his own party not to adopt overly strident con-servative stances. When one party has a majority

in both houses of the leg-islature, what happens all too often is that theyll just ram through policies, which the other party will rush to undo as soon as they come into power. We saw that with healthcare reform.

Looking ahead to November, Reed expressed optimism over both the degree of voter turnout that he expects and the ways in which the political cam-paigns and the election process alike will be con-ducted. By contrast to the recent Wisconsin recall elec-tion, Reed doesnt believe the Washington governors race will engender anywhere near the same amount of acrimo-ny, and he sees Washingtons vote-by-mail system yielding greater turnout and offering better security from voter fraud than the traditional polling places.

Weve got open seats for governor, attorney general, auditor, secretary of state, the Senate and the House of Representatives, and weve also got a good presidential race shaping up, Reed said. This is the first race for lieutenant governor since 1996 thats been hot. Control of the state Legislature is in play, and weve even got ballot measures on medi-cal marijuana and same-sex marriage. If you cant find an issue or a candidate to care about this year, then my goodness, he laughed.

Among Reeds lasting achievements is his defense of Washingtons open pri-mary, which he took pride in being able to justify as a top two primary, by using lan-guage from Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, whom Reed acknowledged had actually been using those arguments to speak

out against the open pri-mary.

Its fun, because Im sure Scalia was saying, How can your Secretary of State even say that? Reed laughed.

After this year, Reed is looking forward to spending more time with his wife, who

had requested that he retire, as well as his grandsons.

Unlike my friends who have gone into lobbying and consulting, I really am retir-ing, Reed said. I might do short stints as an advisor, but Im not making any commit-ments.

Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed addresses the Rotary Club of Marysville on June 6 about the upcoming elections and his 45 years of public service.

The ongoing whoop-ing cough epidemic in Washington is driving higher demand for vaccine among adults, as people protect themselves and their families from pertus-sis. More adults are getting vaccinated, showing that theyre getting the word that prevention measures like vaccination, and stay-ing home when theyre sick, help protect those most at-risk.

Adults in Washington are doing their part by getting the whooping cough boost-er, called Tdap, said state Secretary of Health Mary Selecky. The increase in adult vaccination is vital to protecting babies, who are the most vulnerable because theyre too young to be fully vaccinated. Thank you to everyone whos gotten vac-cinated, and I want others to follow their example.

Between March 25 and May 26 of this year, the state immunization regis-try recorded 82,453 doses of Tdap for adults age 19 and older. Thats well more than double the 34,171 doses recorded in the same time period last year, show-ing the growing demand for Tdap in the face of the epi-demic.

Data from health plans also show an increase. Group Health gave almost 60 percent more Tdap to adults in April of this year compared to April of 2011. Premera Blue Cross is see-ing a similar trend, with the number of Tdap vaccina-tions in April of this year up by more than 70 percent for its members compared to an average month. These increases are good news, especially with the total reported pertussis cases for the year to date now at 2,092, the highest since the 1940s.

Were asking every-one to double-check with their health care providers to make sure theyre up-to-date on vaccinations, Selecky said. Our report-ed case count has climbed above 2,000 already, with half of the year to go. Its vital that teens and adults get the Tdap booster.

The state Department of Health bought more than 27,000 doses of Tdap vaccine for uninsured and underinsured adults, to remove a cost barrier. Making these extra doses easily available means more people can get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated protects the person getting the shot and helps protect people at highest risk for complica-tions, like babies and preg-nant women.

The Tdap vaccine is for people 11 years and older, and can be found by con-tacting your health care pro-vider, local health agency or pharmacy. Only one shot is needed. Younger children need five doses of DTaP by the time theyre 7 for best protection. It takes about two weeks from the time of vaccination to be protected.

For more information about the epidemic, visit the state Department of Healths whooping cough epidem-ic website at www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/I l l n e s s a n d D i s e a s e /WhoopingCough.aspx.

EVERETT On Wednesday, June 6, Snohomish County officially welcomed officers and sail-ors from USS Nimitz to the community with a luncheon event attended by more than 200 business and commu-nity leaders.

United Way of Snohomish County and Economic Alliance Snohomish County, organizers of the event, used the proceeds to make a $6,000 contribution to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, which provides financial, educational and other assistance to mem-bers of the military and their families.

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson issued a proc-lamation declaring June 6, 2012, as USS Nimitz Appreciation Day, and said, Our community is enriched by the vitality, spirit and diversity of Navy families. We look forward to engag-ing the USS Nimitz family as neighbors, friends and col-leagues.

Stephanson, the states con-gressional delegation, local

business leaders, the Port of Everett and Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon had worked to bring USS Nimitz to Snohomish County.

At the event, Reardon echoed Stephansons senti-ment when he told attend-ees, We are honored to have USS Nimitz and her crew in Snohomish County. Weve worked vigorously to get you here, so please know that the work you do is appreciated and embraced by everybody in the community.

According to Troy McClelland, president and CEO of Economic Alliance Snohomish County, Naval Station Everett pumps $463 million into the local econ-omy.

Thats 5 percent of the local economy, McClelland said. Although most of that is salaries, goods and ser-vices for the ship, a lot of that is the money sailors are spending at local businesses, car dealerships and in the housing market.

Military personnel posted at Naval Station Everett have

also been generous to the community. Navy personnel frequently volunteer with local community groups, and since 2006 they have contributed $1.5 million to the Combined Federal Campaign, managed by United Way of Snohomish County.

The Navy is interwoven into the fabric of our com-munity, said Dr. Dennis G. Smith, president and CEO of United Way of Snohomish County. It was our pleasure to welcome them to their new home.

The highlight of the event was a presentation by Capt. Jeffrey S. Ruth, command-ing officer of USS Nimitz. After offering his thanks for the exceptional welcome theyve received, he told attendees it was reassuring to be able to leave our fami-lies in the warm, welcoming Snohomish County commu-nity while we go out to sea.

Approximately a dozen sailors from USS Nimitz attended the event, includ-ing members of its Color Guard.

ARLINGTON While this years Marysville-Tulalip Relay For Life is done, the 2012 Arlington Relay For Life still lies ahead, on the weekend of June 23-24.

Kay Duskin has been actively involved in helping to coordinate the Arlington Relay For Life since its debut in 2010, and she reported that its already recruited 121 teams made up of 1,148 registered participants, who have raised more than $176,000.

Well have lots of new and expanded events in this years Relay, including a Mr. Relay contest, two enter-tainment stages, stadium scavenger hunts, a cock-tail party for survivors, and some great food conces-sions, Duskin said. With our Disney theme, we have plenty of kid-friendly activi-ties planned too.

This years Arlington Relay will also help pitch in for the Arlington Community Food Bank, as each of its Luminaria bags will be anchored by cans of food, all of which will be donated to the food bank after the Relay.

As always, this years Arlington Relay For Life will take place in the John C. Larson Stadium at Arlington High School. The opening ceremony is set to kick off on Saturday, June 23, at 1 p.m., followed by the

survivor lap at 2 p.m. The Luminaria ceremony will take place at 10 p.m. that same day, while the Fight Back closing ceremony will wrap up the event at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 24.

In the meantime, those looking to support this years Relay still have a suc-cession of fundraisers to take part in between now and then, with a vendor fair at 202 N. West Ave. slated to run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 16. That same day, the Relay Team Hope is offering a car wash at the Co-Op on

Olympic Avenue from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Champions of Hope Relay teams are con-ducting a Zumba fundraiser on Friday, June 22, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. for $10 per person.

Last years Arlington Relay For Life raised more than $290,000, beating the American Cancer Societys goal of $250,000 for the event, with 155 teams and 1,849 individuals.

MARYSVILLE The memory of Juan Mendoza, a 16 year-old Marysville Getchell High School student and athlete who lost his life in an Oct. 24, 2011, car acci-dent, is not being forgotten by his classmates or his community.

The Marysville Getchell High School track was host to the Juan Mendoza Memorial Mile on June 1 at 5 p.m. At least 100 people attended the event to either partic-ipate in the mile run, or cheer on runners as they finished each lap. The MGHS athletics booster club served refreshments and hand-ed out the green Juan Mendoza Memorial Mile 2012 T-shirts depicting a lightning bolt and a soccer ball, after Mendozas sig-nature sport. They also sold blue lanyards that read Win it for Juan Mendoza 2012.

Win it for Juan became a theme for fall season, said Jaci Legore Hodgins, a teacher and multi-sport coach at MGHS. We want-ed to do something to honor Juan because he was such an incredible

individual.Mendoza was very involved in

athletics and the memorial mile was organized as a way to both memorialize him and represent the first year of MGHS athletic departments.

Participants ran the Getchell Mile an MGHS physical edu-cation department invention that equates to roughly 1.66 miles. The group huddled prior to begin-ning and Legore Hodgins spoke to them all.

You are all here for the greatest reason, she said. You are going to make choices like this one all summer long and for the rest of our lives. We need to make good choices and take care of ourselves and each other. If youre running this, know hes running this with you.

The crowd put their hands together and shouted Juan on three, before lining up to start the race.

Not all of those who attended the memorial mile decided to run, but many still attended as a way to memorialize Mendoza.

I dont even go this school, said Alex Wright, who cheered on the sidelines and wore one of the green Juan Mendoza T-shirts. Wright said she has been close to Mendoza for years.

Hes my best friend since pre-school, she said. I think these things are cool. They support him and remember him. I just saw his name and new I had to come.

Lars Kundu, a friend of Mendozas who has also involved in the Oct. 24 accident, attended the memorial mile as well.

I was just a part of the dedi-cation of the Marysville Getchell Memorial Garden, said Kundu. Its a way to commemorate Juan Mendoza and Alyssa Grant by cre-ating a living memorial.

Kundu said that the memorial mile was just the sort of thing that Mendoza would enjoy.

It makes me glad that people are showing up to support Juan, he said. He was a runner, we met in cross country. Hed be happy to see all these people running for him.

Also in attendance was Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and his family.

Juan was a very close friend of my son Nathan and we are close with his family. Juan was really special to our family, said Nehring. But also as a mayor, anytime I can attend an event that raises money for a good cause I like to do that.

Nehring said he was impressed with the turnout, despite the rela-tively short notice.

I thought it was a great event for a good cause, said Nehring. It really shows how much people care about Juan.

Runners take off at the start of the Juan Mendoza Memorial Mile on June 1 at the Marysville Getchell High School track.


LAKEWOOD The annual Strawberry Festival Berry Run was a success on June 9, as more than 100 runners signed up for the one mile and 5-kilometer

courses.The turnout this year

was a little bit smaller than in previous years, and although the decline was unexplained, cloudy and muggy weather on Saturday, June 9, may have

been a factor.People of every age and

physical fitness level joined the race, for many different reasons.

I first started doing 5Ks while trying to lose weight, said Michelle Fancher of Marysville, who raced in the Seattle Marathon six years ago. Ive been doing it ever since.

Fancher brought two of her friends with her to the Berry Run, who are glad to have a new physical fitness habit.

She sucked us into it last year, said Valencia McNair. I love it. Theyre addicting. McNair said she uses race opportunities to challenge herself.

Its not a competition with everyone else. I keep all my numbers and write my times on them, so I can see how Im doing, she said.

The Berry Run was the second 5-kilometer race in one week for Cindee Lyons and her second race overall. I love it, she said. After my first one I was already addicted.

The women said that the location of the Berry

Run, at the Plant Farm in Lakewood, was particularly appealing since they all live fairly close.

Its nice that its a local race, said Fancher. Most of these races are in the Seattle or Kirkland areas.

It always goes toward a good cause, said McNair, who grew up in Marysville and was involved in pre-vious Strawberry Festival events. I like to do 5ks that actually support some-thing.

The Berry Run is host-ed by the Lakewood High School cross country team, and funds raised at the event help send their top runners on a yearly trip to Stanford, where they can learn a lot from collegiate level run-ners.

Preston Davis, a Lakewood junior, is hoping to be one of the top runners next fall so that he can have a shot of going on that trip.

The top seven runners get to go. Im about seventh or eighth right now so I am going to have to work really hard over the summer, he said. Support for the trip is not the only reason Davis

enjoys working the Berry Run.

I like it because it helps support Lakewood and peo-ple get to come out and be active, said Davis.

As the first event in the Strawberry Festival week, festival organizers view it as an important race.

The Berry Run is the kickoff to our festival, said Jodi Welch, vice president of Maryfest, the Strawberry Festival nonprofit.

Lynne Walker-Kramer, another Strawberry Festival organizer, agreed.

It pumps them up and says, this is the start of the Strawberry Festival, she said.

Lakewood cross coun-try coach Jeff Sowards announced winners once the races were complete, and Strawberry Festival roy-alty handed out medals and ribbons to those who placed in the top three of their age division. He also announced winners for drawings of sev-eral prizes including mem-berships to Team Fitness, free admission to the Imagine Childrens museum and one-month unlimited

tanning certificates.The first place winner for

the womens 19 and under mile group was Jessey Lian. First place for womens 20-29 mile was Nikki Bristol. First place for womens 40-49 mile was Marci Dehm. First place for the mens 19 and under mile was Samuel Campbell. Steven Brown placed first in the 40-49 mens mile and Peter Thompson placed first in the 50-59 mile group.

First place in the wom-ens 5K age 19 and under is Veronica Hall. Casey Brown placed first in the 20-29 age group. Rene Guisti took first place in 30-39 and Kris Tebb placed first in 40-49. Nancy Patrick placed first in 50-59 and Angela Elgee placed first in 60 and up.

Kris Mugrage took first place in the mens 5K age 19 and under. Taylor Guske was first in 20-29 and Jonathan Murry was first in 30-39. Patrick Phares placed first in the 40-49 group, Joe Sager placed first in the 50-59 group and Harold Freilinger was first in the 60 and up group.

MARYSVILLE Bouncy houses, baseball players, balloons and boa constric-tors could all be found at the Strawberry Festivals fourth annual Kids Party in the Park on June 9 at Asbery Field.

We definitely have more people here than last year, said Kids Party director Dave Clemmons. And its great that we have the Reptile Man here. Hes great, hes been around for years.

Hundreds of people attended the six-hour event and had opportunities to participate in dozens of free activities. Kids lined up to have their faces paint-ed, took turns playing in a choice of three bouncy houses, built projects with tables full of building sup-plies, practiced gymnastics with Rising Stars, practiced pitching with the Everett Aquasox and met Rowdy, the Everett Raptors mascot.

Possibly the biggest crowd at the event gathered

around the Reptile Man, who displayed several dif-ferent species of snakes, liz-ards, tortoises and even an alligator.

Children responded in shock and awe as the Reptile Man pulled every-thing from a massive dia-mondback rattlesnake to a gaboon viper the worlds second deadliest snake out of his stack of bins. He allowed kids to pet a young American alligator, a tor-toise and a python.

Bouncy houses, which made their first appearance at the Kids Party this year, were very popular among the younger crowds. Shelley and Richard Tucker have been taking their children to the Kids Party in the Park for three years and were happy to see the bouncy houses this time around.

She loves the bouncy houses, said Shelley Tucker, of her 5 year-old daughter Maria. I think its so much more fun, theyve never had bouncies here before. Maria agreed with her mother and

said her favorite bouncy house was a tall one with three slides because its bouncy and its the biggest.

For newcomers, the Kids Party was a great free event for a warm Saturday after-noon. We just moved here last August from Seattle and Lynnwood, said Christina Pluschke, who brought her 7 year-old nephew Troy Stedman. We are learning all about the Strawberry Festival.

Pluschke said so far, the Kids Party was very enter-taining. Its fun and he real-ly loves it. He usually gets bored but its not boring. Its great.

Attendees had the oppor-tunity to buy ice cream, cot-ton candy, piroshkies, subs, shaved ice and more from a variety of food vendors. The radio station Movin 92.5 provided some entertain-ment and contest oppor-tunities. Kung Fu 4 Kids offered presentations and information for the young-sters. Kids also received various free goodies from

different vendors including beaded necklaces and piggy banks.

The Kids Party was enough fun to guarantee attendance in the years to

come.Well definitely come

back again, said Pluschke.

EVERETT Marysville Police Officer Derek Carlile pleaded not guilty to the charge of second-degree manslaughter in Snohomish Superior Court on Tuesday, June 5, as his attorneys echoed previous statements theyd made to the press about the shoot-ing death of Carliles 7-year-old daughter, Jenna.

The Marysville Police Department also announced on June 5 that they plan to conduct an administrative review on Carlile, pending completion of any criminal proceed-ings for his being charged with second degree man-slaughter by the Snohomish County Prosecutors Office on May 22. Carlile current-ly remains on paid admin-istrative leave.

Seattle lawyer David Allen deemed it a trag-ic accident that Carliles 3-year-old son fatally shot Jenna with a loaded handgun that Carlile him-self had left within reach, while Carlile had also left

his four children, aged 1 to 7, alone in the family van during a brief stop in Stanwood on March 10. Allen nonetheless denied that this qualified as crim-inal negligence, contrary to the charges filed by Snohomish County prose-cuting attorneys Mark Roe and Lisa Paul.

In the affidavit of prob-able cause filed by Paul, Carlile was accused of cre-ating a substantial risk of death by leaving his unse-cured handgun in a center console of the minivan, with the safety off.

While Paul alleged in charging documents that Carliles actions constituted a gross deviation from the standard that a reasonable person would exercise in the same situation, Allen argued that Carliles care-lessness did not qualify as gross negligence. Carlile himself reportedly told detectives that he hadnt used the ankle strap of the guns holster or a locking compartment in the van

where the gun could have been placed, as he usually did, because he was in a hurry that day.

According to the affi-davit, Carlile and his wife knew the boy was fasci-nated with guns.

Although Carlile began lifesaving efforts immedi-ately after hearing the shot and rushing back to the van to discover Jenna bleeding, she died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle on March 11.

Paul did not ask the judge at the June 5 hearing to impose bail on Carlile, whose trial date was set for Aug. 24. The June 5 hear-ing marked Carliles first court appearance since he was charged by prosecu-tors on May 22 in connec-tion with the shooting.

While Carliles wife is not being charged, given that prosecutors credit her with alerting him to the unsecured gun in the van, Carlile himself could face 27 months in prison if convicted.

Carlile pleads not guilty in daughters death


MARYSVILLE Thousands of local kids, teens and adults spent Saturday, June 2, learning ways to become and stay healthy, despite rainy morn-ing weather.

The fourth annual Healthy Communities Challenge Day was held at the Allen Creek Elementary Schools play-field and host-ed dozens of vendors and informational booths all with the intent of inspir-ing more active lifestyles in local families.

It was a lot of fun and very high energy, said city of Marysville Recreation Coordinator Andrea Kingsford. People were

definitely engaged. The families that were there stayed the whole time.

An estimated 2,500 people attended the day filled with fun and 892 people signed up for Snohomish Countys Get Movin program.

In addition to a multitude of organizations and groups with booths, the Parks and Recreation department dis-tributed 144 hula hoops, hundreds of small beach balls and whirligig toys that twirl in the air for the chil-dren.

The event was host to a number of exercise and physical fitness demonstra-tions including Zumba, rock-climbing, bouncy houses, rowing machines, tumbling, hula-hooping,

calisthenics, golfing, jump-ropes and weightlifting. Several booths offered healthy snacks and infor-mation on recreational activities including trail hiking, dancing and gym-nastics. Nutritional and health information was also at hand, including anti-smoking materials and food intake education.

Children enjoyed the more exciting aspects of being active, including Jasmine Steward, 7, who said the day was really fun.

And the kids werent the only ones pleased with Healthy Communities Challenge Day.

This is our second time here, said one local moth-er who directed a hula-hooping tutorial under the pseudonym Turnity. Its great. It gives us an idea of what to do this summer and I love all the positive mes-sages.

Members of the Marysville Cooperative Education Program were in attendance and glad to have a sizable crowd.

Its a great event, said MCEP Public Relations Coordinator Andrea Gipson. Its so involved. I think its just wonderful.

The challenge day also

featured live entertainment, including performances by the Hot Dog USA Jump Rope Team and Seattle magician Louie Foxx, who was recently featured on NBCs Americas Got Talent. They also hosted ZumbaAtomic dancers and a performance by members of the Arlington School of Dance.

Michael Jefferson, a recent Survivor: One World contestant and Marysville native, also attended the event and was open to giv-ing out autographs.

People were able to meet him and ask questions about his experience on Survivor, said Kingsford of Jefferson, who has previously worked in the Marysville Parks and Recreation Department.

Parks and Recreation offered information on 95210 for Health a new campaign developed by Community Health Solutions for promoting child health and life-long healthy habits for individu-als. Its a list of five tips for staying healthy get nine hours of sleep, eat five serv-ings of fruits and vegetables, limit screen time to two hours a day, and eliminate sugary drinks and tobacco.

The event was hosted

in collaboration with the Marysville Community Coalition, Healthy Communities Project, Snohomish County Get Movin, Marysville School District, YMCA, United Way/Marysville Kids Matter, Sno-Isle Library, Cedar Grove Composting, Summit Rehabilitation, Hillside Church and many other organizations.

The Marysville Lions Club brought in health screen-ing vans for participants to check their blood pressure,

heart rate, vision, hearing and blood sugar levels, free of charge.

A number of local spon-sors helped to make the event possible, as well as sev-eral volunteers.

We also had some incred-ible teen volunteers from the Marysville YMCA and athletes from the Marysville School District. Their volun-teerism is so valuable for this event, said Kingsford. They do a fantastic job and are so appreciated by all of the exhibitors who they help.
