BY KIRK BOXLEITNER [email protected]MARYSVILLE — The ongoing replacement of the State Route 529 Ebey Slough Bridge has seen some significant milestones since this winter, and if the weather permits, March 8-11 will mark yet another key step toward the comple- tion of the nearly three-year construction project. “We’ve completely demol- ished the existing bridge structure, well below the ground line, to the point that no remnants are vis- ible,” said Joe Rooney, chief inspector for the proj- ect with the Washington State Department of Transportation. “Once that was complete, we were able to build the approach fills on the west side of the new bridge, which put us in place to pave the full width, not including the final overlay we’ll be doing in April.” According to Rooney, so long as the construction work doesn’t get rained out, SR 529 is set to be closed from First Avenue to Milepost 6, including the Ebey Slough Bridge, starting at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 8, and lasting until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 11. “We’ll finally be pulling out that temporary barrier to put in temporary striping along where the permanent channels will be,” Rooney said. “The plastic imprinted striping will go in place this spring, but the new bridge will be at full capacity for the first time. With a little bit of landscaping work left, we should be completely out of here by May.” SR 529 bridge nears completion Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo Construction worker Sergio Rojas puts the finishing touches on a stretch of sidewalk leading to the new Ebey Slough Bridge.

including several students in wheelchairs, as well as all of the instructional interns, who are general education students serving as interns in the program as an elec-tive. Auction funds also went toward Fred Meyer gift cards that were used to purchase food and supplies for ongoing cooking activi-ties for the Life Skills stu-dents, since shopping and meal preparation are part of the program’s independent living curriculum.
Strickland was gratified to see this year’s silent auction sync up with the monthly open-mic pizza party, because he believes that the socialization afforded by such events is as vital as the funds raised throughout the evening.
“Students who have autism, intellectual disabili-
ties or trouble communicat-ing simply come alive with music,” Strickland said. “It somehow reaches beyond the barriers imposed by their disabilities, and serves as a common language where they can meet the world as equals. We not only use music in the classroom, but many of our Life Skills stu-dents also participate in our M-PHS Open-Mic Club, that meets every Thursday after school.”
Strickland credited the Life Skills Program’s par-ent group with coming up with the open-mic pizza party while brainstorming ideas for fun social oppor-tunities for the students, and expressed his gratitude to Alfy’s Pizza for donating the use of their party rooms for the monthly event.
“Given the power of music and a microphone to bring out a side of our students that nothing else can, we
naturally thought of a public open-mic event,” Strickland said. “My hope is that these events can become a time when people, both with and without disabilities, can come together to celebrate the joy and universal lan-guage of music.”
The M-PHS Life Skills Program’s open-mic pizza parties run from 4-6 p.m. on the second Friday of the month, and the next such event is scheduled for April 12.
“Come out and join us, to sing or just enjoy some great pizza and a heart-warming show,” Strickland said.
Rooney noted that the original construction time-line afforded WSDOT and its contractor, Granite Construction, well into the summer months to wrap up their work, so they’re ahead of schedule and well within their budget.
“We’ve just been extreme-ly fortunate,” Rooney said. “There haven’t been any significant change orders or design errors or sur-prising site conditions, and when you’re working that far under the surface, who knows beforehand what you can find. Granite Construction have been great partners as well.”
The project typically employed between 50-60 personnel on site, between
subcontractors and special-ists in fields such as pile-driving stone columns into the ground to form the sup-ports for the new bridge.
“We built the new bridge well before we demolished the old one, which allowed us to keep traffic flowing throughout construction,” Rooney said. “We also bene-fitted from replacing a two-lane bridge with a four-lane bridge, so we were able to set up the two lanes on the west side of the new bridge as a staging area for con-struction without reducing the existing traffic capacity of the bridge. People had two lanes of traffic on the old bridge, and they’ve had two lanes of traffic on the new bridge, so they haven’t seen much difference yet.”
Rooney acknowledged the challenges of demolish-
ing an old bridge directly over a waterway in an eco-logically conscious fashion, so as not to contaminate the surrounding wetlands.
“We couldn’t have any debris at all, which is pretty difficult when you’re taking out a 700-foot-long span,” Rooney said. “To their cred-it, Granite Construction took this task seriously, and still managed to take out the existing structure to 10 feet below the mud line.”
Rooney reiterated that the scheduled closure of the SR 529 Ebey Slough Bridge from 8 p.m. on Friday, March 8, until 5 a.m. on Monday, March 11, is entirely weather-dependent, so check the WSDOT site at www1.co.snohomish.wa.us/Departments/Public_Works/Services/Roads/roadsup for the latest information.

ARLINGTON — The Olympic Theatre’s ongoing fundraising efforts to con-vert to a digital projector will receive some helping hands and hooves on Saturday, March 16, from the Sno-King Saddle Up group of adult horse-owning enthu-siasts in Snohomish, King, Skagit and Island counties.
Saddle Up will stage a benefit showing at 8 p.m. of “Wild Horse, Wild Ride,” a documentary about the 100-day mustang challenge, which follows those who take a horse from wild to competition-ready in 100 days.
“This well-crafted docu-mentary teaches about the process, the horses and some of the big-hearted people who work diligently at bringing public attention to our nation’s wild horse crisis,” said Laura Clarke, Sno-King Saddle Up assis-tant organizer. “Many of these horses are not adopted and are sent to slaughter each year. Out of the desire to peak awareness, and the
hope of changing the odds in the horses’ favor, was born the 100-day mustang challenge.”
The trailer for the film may be viewed online at http://vimeo.com/20345947.
Clarke noted the crisis facing the Olympic Theatre as well, which needs to raise a minimum of $30,000 to covert to digital, instead of running film reels as it does now, since all film media will be converting to digital by the end of 2013.
“If Norma [Pappas, owner and operator of the Olympic Theatre,] can’t raise the funds for that digital equip-ment, the theater won’t be able to bring in feature films
and make enough money to keep the doors open, and we’ll all lose our fun, home-town theater,” Clarke said. “So come out to support a great cause and help this his-toric Arlington icon. Bring everyone you know and call everyone you know. There are about 250 seats, and we need to see the theater full for our benefit showing.”
Saddle Up’s goal is to raise $5,000 through this benefit showing, with tickets run-ning $10 at the door and an open donation jar inside. For more information, log onto the event’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/425747304176791.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Police Department recently announced the promotion of Officer Rick Sparr to the rank of sergeant.
Sparr, an 18-year veteran on the force, was sworn in at his new rank by Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring at the Feb. 11 City Council meet-ing, with Sparr’s family and several fellow police offi-cers present, along with city staff members. In addition to patrol, Sparr has served in many capacities with-in the Marysville Police Department, including eight years as a field training offi-cer, a stint in the Detective Division from 1998-2001,
membership in the SWAT team since 1999, and roles in the ALERT civil disobedi-ence team, the street nar-cotics team, and as one of the original members of the department’s Tactical Team, for which he currently serves as assistant team leader.
Sparr filled in as an acting sergeant in 2011. Among his accolades, Sparr was named the department’s Officer of the Year in 2005.
Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith told attendees of the Feb. 11 City Council meeting there was no doubt that Sparr was on the pro-motion track, noting that from customer service and communications to leader-
ship and management skills, Sparr hit the mark on all supervisory dimensions.
“His ability to protect our public, and his ability to work with team members and put their needs ahead of his own” are key to Sparr’s tactical-minded approach to police work, in Smith’s words.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
We’ve been hearing a lot about Abraham Lincoln in recent
months after the release of the movie about how he abol-ished slavery by pushing the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution through Congress.
Not many people know it, but Lincoln’s birthday on Feb. 12 also holds a special place in the hearts of the treaty Indian tribes in west-ern Washington.
It was on that day in 1974 that federal Judge George Boldt hand-ed down his landmark ruling in U.S. v. Washington that upheld our treaty-reserved fishing rights and established us as co-managers of the salmon resource.
Although he was ready to rule sooner, Judge Boldt purposely delayed the court proceedings so that he could deliver his deci-sion on the birthday of one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had, a president who upheld the basic human rights of all people. And that’s what Judge Boldt did. He upheld our rights, and for that we will always be grateful.
It’s been 39 years now since Boldt’s decision, and things have changed a lot since then.
More than 1 million people have moved into western Washington, making a big impact on our natural resources.
Herring populations in Puget Sound — an important food for salmon — have shrunk to a small fraction of former levels.
Our floods and droughts have gotten worse because of climate change and changes we’ve made to our landscape.
We’ve lost nearly all of our old-growth forests, native prairies and salt marshes.
We’ve also lost most of our
salmon harvest. Ongoing damage and destruction to salmon habitat have led to tribal harvest levels that are lower than they were in 1974, and this trend isn’t showing signs of improvement.
Nonetheless, we are hopeful as we begin planning for the 40th anniversary of the Boldt decision next year.
As part of the celebration, a pair of movies that focus on the treaty fishing rights struggle were recently released by our friends at Salmon Defense, a non-profit organization working to turn the tide for salmon.
The first is “As Long as the Rivers Run,” the fundamental documentary about the Fish Wars of the 1960s and ‘70s by Carol Burns and Hank Adams. They generously donated the film to Salmon Defense so that it can be preserved and shared. The sec-ond movie is “Back to the River,” which was produced by Salmon Defense to provide additional perspectives on treaty rights and the natural resources manage-ment challenges we face today.
Both of these movies are avail-able for free by contacting Salmon Defense at http://salmondefense.org or by calling 360-528-4308.
Billy Frank Jr. is the chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Look at expanding mental healthservices
Boom. Kaboom. Bang. Shots ring out in our schools, shopping malls, streets, and we believe we are pow-erless to stop it. Responding to the chaos, police around the U.S. end up shooting mentally ill individuals because the police don’t know of any other way to interact with them — to calm the storm of symptoms. Enraged and scared, citizens yell for gun control, arming children, armed guards in schools, return to religion — anything to save a child, anything to stop the madness.
But is that the way? What if we looked closer at the idea of expand-ing mental health services? What if we treat the “madness?” rather than fear it? Obama has not just been calling for gun control (though his other messages are getting lost in media soundbites). Obama is also calling for mental health treatment — for helping people and stopping violence before it starts. If we have more counselors and resources in schools, if more people have access to services in the communities,
then maybe … maybe that next shooting won’t happen.
I work at a community mental health facility most known for serv-ing those who suffer from the most acute mental illnesses in Seattle. My clients are not scary. They are not overwhelming. They are not the throw-a-ways in our society that people think. They are people who have often gone through traumatic events that would break and shatter the best of us. They are people who were given the worst lots in life. But the takeaway is that they are people.
Yes, some clients will have psychi-atric symptoms that make me worry they may get violent, but because they can access our services, and because I meet with them regularly, I can assess these issues, and I can recommend treatment. My clients can go to the hospital for as little as three days, and often reach a point that they return to stability. If they do not, they can be hospitalized lon-ger. The point is, the mental health system acts like a net, like a safety valve — we catch things before they go too far—without the need for more guns in society and more pos-sibilities of violence because of those guns.
The Affordable Care Act (known as Obamacare) is preparing to cast a larger net — people not hitherto insured for mental health care coverage will now be. It will be interesting to see how that changes the scene, and how treatment of the diseases rather than the symp-toms helps society at large. Please consider that when you think of Obamacare next, and argue about its merits with friends. These are real people who should be treated with respect and dignity and offered the treatment they deserve and need. Anything else damages our country as a whole and leads to further tragedy.

TULALIP — The closest Wayne Brady has been to the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino is Seattle, but he told The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times that he’s eager to try out a new venue.
“I’ll go wherever the audi-ence is, from Manhattan to small towns,” Brady said, as he looked forward his two showings on March 29 in the Orca Ballroom. “And this won’t necessarily be the last time I’ll be here, either.”
Although Brady’s work in the entertainment industry ranges from starring roles in Broadway musicals to guest-starring parts on scripted TV shows and voi-ceover work for cartoons, many people probably know him best from his long-running stint as part of the cast on the improvi-sational comedy show “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” which will be returning with new episodes later this year. However, Brady has never seen such high-profile jobs as the end goal of his career, because throughout the rest of his hectic schedule he’s always found
time to stay on the road.“There are stand-ups who land
those sitcom gigs because that’s what they were aiming for, but I’ve never stopped performing live,” Brady said. “It’s how I’ve stayed sharp. No matter what I’ve done, whether it was ‘Chicago’ or ‘Let’s Make a Deal,’ it would have suf-fered if I hadn’t kept doing that.”
According to Brady, he thrives on contact with live audiences, and described the sense of imme-diacy in their interactions as dif-ficult to duplicate even in live television.
“There’s just this rush of instant reaction,” Brady said. “If you’re doing comedy onstage, you don’t have to wait for a critical review or a Nielsen rating. The club or theater or whatever the venue is will let you know, yea or nay, how they think you’re doing. It can be through a hush in the crowd or in the rattling of drinks, or more positive affirmation if you’re doing good. Either way, you get that feedback right away.”
Brady sees the challenges of live performance as akin to the enjoy-able challenges that he feels every-
one should choose to take on, regardless of their professions.
“The joy of live performance is that it’s live,” Brady said. “Nothing can replace it. Not everyone can do live performances, but we should all challenge ourselves, whether at work or in our lives.”
While Brady promised his Tulalip audiences that he would arrive fully engaged, he requested that they return the favor.
“I’m happy to come out here and bring my A-game, but I’d only ask that those who come out to see me do the same with their sugges-tions,” Brady said. “I’m going to challenge you guys too. This isn’t just going to be a show where you sit back and put your feet up. It’s improv, so you need to be ready for me to do anything, even if it means coming out into the crowd and interacting with you.”
Brady’s 8 p.m. show on March 29 is already sold out, but as of March 4, tickets were still avail-able for his 11 p.m. show later that same night. For more informa-tion, log onto www.tulalipresort.com/entertainment/orca-ballroom.aspx.

EVERETT — Veterans of Foreign Wars Old Guard Post 2100 is inviting veterans and their families to see what the VFW is all about during its St. Patrick’s Day Open House on March 17 from 1-6 p.m. at 2711 Oaks Ave. in Everett.
Post 2100 Cmdr. Donald Wischmann explained that visitors can tour the post and
talk to its members, as well as to representatives of not only the VFW, but also the Ladies’ and Men’s Auxiliaries, the Veterans Administration and a number of other groups.
“Our main concern is helping veterans and their families, but to do that we need more members,” Wischmann said. “Post 2100 has more than 840 members, but about 700 of those are folks who served in World War II and Korea, and with-
in about 10 years, we’re not going to be doing much as a post if we can’t replenish that membership.”
Wischmann touted the VFW as a means of con-necting service members both past and present with a number of useful resources, whether they’re deployed or retired. He noted that his post has even “adopted” the 477th Transportation Company at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Marysville, and has sent word of the open house out to 46 commands around the area, so he expects quite a bit of turnout for the event.
“We know people will be
coming armed with ques-tions about their VA ben-efits,” Wischmann said. “We know that our veter-ans are concerned about the amount of time it takes to get their claims processed and approved, which is why we’ll have representatives of the VA here to answer those questions.”
Wischmann worries about the membership of the VFW because he wants to ensure that the group will retain a strong voice in Washington, D.C., to keep veterans’ con-cerns on the forefront of leg-islators’ priorities, but if too many older members pass away without younger mem-
bers stepping in to fill their roles, he sees difficult times ahead for the organization and those whom it seeks to serve.
“I’m a Vietnam veter-an,” said Wischmann, who retired from the U.S. Navy. “I’m 60 years old, and I’m one of the youngest mem-bers of this post.”
Wischmann recognizes that certain stereotypes may exist in the public’s percep-tion of VFW posts, but he assured veterans and civil-ians alike that VFW Post 2100 is active in the sur-rounding community, seek-ing out ways to benefit cit-ies and towns in addition to those who have served.
The Post 2100 St. Patrick’s Day Open House will feature not only a meal of corned
beef and cabbage from 4-6 p.m., for a $10 suggested donation, but also a guest appearance by Edmonds’ Michael Regan, whose por-traits for the Fallen Heroes Project showcase military men and women who have given their all.
“They’re just sketches, but they look like minia-ture wallet-sized photos,” Wischmann said. “He just finished drawing the kids and teachers who lost their lives in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.”
Children at welcome at the St. Patrick’s Day Open House, and for more infor-mation, you may contact Wischmann by phone at 425-252-2100, or via email at [email protected].

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell Lady Chargers fast pitch team is gearing up for the start of the season and hoping to make an impact in what is only their second season having a varsity softball program.
Practice began on Monday, Feb. 25, and the Chargers wasted no time getting out on the field, despite less than per-fect weather, and focused on simply building their team.
“So far we are mostly get-ting to know one another as a team,” said head coach Mike Moran. “We do have a lot of
new players on our varsity this year, so I think that the team chemistry part of it is going to be a huge part of what we do.”
There are only five return-ing letter earners and only one returning senior on the team.
“We’ve only got two seniors on varsity this year,” said Moran. “One of them is new to Getchell.”
The 2012-2013 season is only the second for the 3A school’s varsity athletics pro-gram.
“Last year was the first year for varsity sports and I think that skill-level wise we will be better this year,” said Moran. “How that equates to wins and losses is still to be determined. Our whole group is better, with their off-season work and overall knowledge of the program. We have some new additions to the team of fresh-men and new players.”
The inaugural year for the Chargers’ fast pitch team was a bit rough, with only one win all season, against Mariner.
“I expect the team to have success this year,” said Moran. “It was a lot of learning how to compete at a varsity level. It was successful in that they did a lot of growing and learning about team unity, team chem-
istry and program unity. Now it’s time to take another step and improve on that. They did really great for the amount of experience they had.”
The team has not only been working on building camara-derie, but also improving their game skills and showing some real promise.
“I think that Savannah Duce, our junior shortstop and pitcher, will be key for us,” said Moran. “Kymberlie Devlin, our pitcher, has improved her game greatly as well. We have a couple of newcomers too. Senior Kirsten Willis will be a big factor and Ashlin Severs is a freshman catcher that will be huge for us. I think that those four will make a big impact right away.
The Chargers will compete in their first game of the sea-son against Granite Falls at 4 p.m. on Monday, March 11.
“Our first week will actu-ally be to see if we can answer some questions about who we are and if we are headed in the right direction,” said Moran. “Granite Falls is a strong 2A team, and it will be fun to see them play. We are going to be able to play, learn and grow to compete as a part of the 3A North.”

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood and Arlington Composite Mountain Bike teams are still looking for more riders for this sea-son and have already hosted a “lap-a-thon” fundraiser at the end of February.
“We have six kids on the Arlington com-posite team, two middle schoolers and six Lakewood High School kids,” said coach Heidi Klippert, “We are still looking for more riders, for anyone who is interested.”
The fundraiser was held on Sunday, Feb. 24, when riders were sponsored for each lap they completed.
“The total driven with kids and coaches was 78 laps and 468 miles,” said Klippert. “We don’t have a final tally for how much money we raised but we hope it’s enough to buy our jerseys.”
Although the teams are made up of stu-dents from area schools, mountain biking is not yet a school sponsored sport and requires self-funding.
“Since we are self-funded the kids pay their dues and race fees, and we hold fundraisers for other expenses,” said Klippert. “We are always looking for more sponsors as well.”
While the school does not officially spon-sor mountain biking, Lakewood High School is hosting professional mountain biker Ryan Leech in an assembly on Thursday, March 7.
“He is presenting on the trials of life,” said Klippert of Leech, who is known as a trials mountain bike rider for his style of extreme testing of bike handling skills, balance and control. “His main goal is to inspire this gen-eration and help them be strong through the hardships, criticisms and social conditioning that they face.”
Leech will be doing a show at the Seattle Bike Expo on March 9-10.
The teams will take their third trip down to Tacoma for the first race of the year at Steilacoom on April 7.
“The kids are having a great time. It’s a lot of fun,” said Klippert. “If people are interested in joining they can contact me for more infor-mation.”
Practices take place three days a week. Klippert can be reached at [email protected].

MARYSVILLE — For the second year in a row, Marysville native and two-time Olympian Jarred Rome will be hosting a throwing clinic for athletes and coaches, on Saturday, March 9, at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.
Registration is open to athletes of all ages who are looking for ways to improve on their throwing skills for shot put, discus and javelin, as well as coaches interested in learning more about training. Pre-registration is available at www.jarredrome.org/register or the day of the event from 9-10 a.m.
Rome competed in the 2004 and 2012 Summer Olympic Games as a member of the United States Track and Field team. He is a two-time nation-al champion and a six-time NCAA All-American.
He graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High
School in 1995, and hosted the first throwing clinic as a way to give back to his home town.
“I started this clinic to get Snohomish County throwers together and teach them the skills they need, while team-ing up with Randy Davis and the M-P Boosters,” said Rome. “That’s the one thing I wanted to do in Marysville and last year we had 30 kids. I had such a big response that I’m trying to get the community aware that there is still time to join. This is something that I want to continue to do for the next 10, 15, 20 years.”
Rome got his start com-peting as a member of the Tomahawks’ track and field team, and credits the program with giving him a sense of purpose.
“The reason I love track and field so much is that it’s the largest high school sport in America and every kid can find an event — the big kids throw, the skinny kids run, the tall kids high jump, the
fast kids sprint. It’s the greatest sport and I want to get more kids involved so that hopefully we’ll see another Olympian in a Marysville school or Snohomish or Everett.”
This year, Rome teamed up with two-time Olympian Duncan Atwood, who com-petes in javelin and has won three national championships.
“This year I added jav-elin,” said Rome. “Each year I hope to add events, perhaps high jump or pole vault next year. I foresee this becoming something bigger than throw-ing events. I’m just trying to bring knowledgement to the area. An Olympic level clinic can change the knowledge of coaches at each high school for what they can get out to the athletes.”
The clinic is $90 for athletes and $100 for coaches. Groups of five or more from the same school pay only $70 per ath-lete. A portion of the fees go to support the Tomahawks’ track and field team. Check-in
begins at 9 a.m. on March 9 at Marysville-Pilchuck High School at 5611 108th St. NE. The clinic runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break. Athletes are required to bring running shoes, throw-ing shoes, implements (shot puts, discs and javelins), ath-letic clothes, paper, pen, lunch and snacks.

MARYSVILLE — Of the 22 attendees of the March 1 fundraiser for the Marysville-Pilchuck High School Class of 2013, 12 sat down for rounds of Texas Hold ‘Em while 10 played Bunco, but between them, they raised an estimated $850 at the Marysville American Legion Post 178 Hall.
“This was pretty com-parable to our prior Texas Hold ‘Em and Bunco tour-nament,” said Kris Hanson, one of the event’s coordina-tors. “Still, our most profit-able fundraiser was man-ning a concession stand at the Seahawks game this
past fall. We raised more than $2,000 in one Sunday. Another really fun fundrais-er we’re doing on an ongo-ing basis is our ‘Flamingo Fundraiser,’ so the com-munity should beware, lest they find their front yards ‘flocked’ with pink flamin-gos.”
Hanson explained that donations to the M-PHS Class of 2013 would result in the flamingos being removed from those yards, and allow those yard-own-ers to suggest the next per-son’s yard to get “flocked.”
The parent volunteers behind these fundraisers aim to cover the costs of not only the after-graduation party, but also transporta-
tion to and from the gradu-ation night party.
“The senior parents are partnering with Grad Nights to create a unique, fun and safe experience for our graduates, to celebrate past achievements with their classmates while they look forward to the future,” Hanson said. “Two venues are chosen, that are kept secret until the graduates arrive at their destinations, and each destination pro-vides entertainment, lots of food and fun. Our goal is that every senior have the opportunity to attend, so the money we raise beyond the actual costs of these events will be used to pro-vide scholarships.”
Hanson invited the com-munity to participate in the parents’ fundraising events, as a means of congratulat-ing this year’s seniors on their academic achieve-ments. The cost to attend the after-graduation party is $100 per senior, and donations may be mailed to:
Grad NightsP.O. Box 1202Marysville, WA 98270“Any member of our
community, including local businesses, are encouraged to donate money, so that all M-PHS seniors can par-ticipate in this last celebra-tion for the Class of 2013,” Hanson said. “Thank you
to all the senior parents and other volunteers for all the hard work you’ve already contributed, and for those who want to get involved, come to our next meeting March 20 at 6 p.m. in the M-PHS library.”

SILVANA — The Silvana Fair Board Auction for last year drew more than 300 attendees and raised an above-average total of earnings, but the annual event’s organizers hope to equal, if not exceed, those totals on Saturday, March 9, when the auction is set to return to the Viking Hall at 1331 Pioneer Hwy. in downtown Silvana, west of I-5 off Exit 208.
Lynn Pattison, a member of the Silvana Fair Board, promised attend-ees that they could look forward to bidding on homemade cinnamon twists, gift certificates “from nearly every local restaurant and shop,” livestock and pet food, fresh baked pies, quilts and blankets, yard art, garden plants, gift certificates for hair and dental care, veterinary care, chiropractic care, auto and home repair services, tools, toys, artwork and more.
Although the evening begins with the opening of the doors and snack bar at 5 p.m., the silent auc-tion doesn’t commence until 5:30 p.m., with tables closing at staggered times throughout the night.
“At 6 p.m., the excitement really builds when the live auction starts,” Pattison said. “Sharp-eyed spot-ters will watch the crowd for raised paper plates indicating bids. Tickets will be drawn to win prizes several times throughout the evening, and
at the end of the night, one bidder will win a large cash prize, which they must be present to win. All ages are invited and are sure to have a great time. Come early to get the best seating, plan your bidding strat-egy, and enjoy the atmosphere and the snack bar, or come when you can — either way, you’re sure to find something you want, and the money raised goes to a good cause.”
The Silvana Fair Board Auction raises funds each year to oper-
ate the Silvana Community Fair, which always takes place on the last Saturday in July, at the fairgrounds behind Viking Hall. The Silvana Fair is free to enter and to attend, even the parking is free.
“Have a fun evening helping raise money for our local all-volunteer fair, and see what wonderful trea-sures and bargains you can take home,” Pattison said.

Wyatt had bladder stones when he arrived which our vet removed, but Wyatt will need to be on a prescription diet (UD) for the rest of his life. He came to us as a stray so we don't have any history on him, but the Bichon makes an excellent companion and are a gregarious breed.They generally love other animals & people. They are friendly, love attention and love to go everywhere with you.

Mordecai is an all-around nice guy who loves to give head bumps and have his whole body scratched and pet! He's about 10 years old, middle aged for a cat, but he's still playful and active. He's got a couple of cysts that don't trouble him a bit and he even likes to be brushed! Do Mordecai a "solid" and come check him out. He's looking for a pal!

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring is proud to honor Mike and Elaine Ferri as Volunteers of the Month for February for their vol-unteer work through the Marysville Kiwanis Club and the Marysville Community Food Bank.
Mike Ferri has been active in the Marysville Kiwanis Club for more than 40 years, while Elaine Ferri has been a member for 15 years. Both have served as president and in various officer positions with the club. Mike is cur-rently serving as the club’s treasurer, while Elaine is currently serving as its past president.
The Ferris are actively involved with the Marysville Community Food Bank on behalf of Kiwanis, and they play a large part in the annual holiday All-City Food Drive, which kicks off on the first Saturday of November. The Ferris coordinate distribution of the red holiday food bar-rels to more than 70 stores and other public places for the food bank.
Mike Ferri has been volun-teering at the food bank for eight years, serving on its Toy Store Committee and helping out on food distribution days when he can. He makes the rounds regularly to distrib-ute and pick up the barrels, and to ensure they’re in good shape. The barrels provide an easy way for people to donate food and toys to less fortu-nate families. Last year’s drive and related donation activi-ties generated 20 tons of food to assist about 1,300 families, and put about 1,000 toys in the hands of happy children, making their holidays a little brighter.
“It goes without saying that Mike and Elaine go above and beyond in their commu-nity service, giving selflessly of themselves to make the lives of others better,” said Nehring, who added that the Ferris are quick to share credit and accolades with the entire volunteer corps.
Mike Ferri is a retired Postmaster, while Elaine Ferri worked as a secre-tary at Central Washington University in Ellensburg where they met, and retired from Everett Community College in November of 2005. Both are from Yakima and moved to Marysville in 1984. Though both are retired, they haven’t slowed down in work-ing to make Marysville a bet-ter community.
The Ferris are also active in the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association.
From fundraisers to food drives, the Ferris have reached out to their commu-nity to help make Marysville a friendlier and more caring place, mostly through their involvement in Kiwanis.
Nehring applauded
Marysville’s service clubs — such as Kiwanis, Rotary, Soroptimists and the Lions — that regularly give of their time and resources to con-tribute toward a better future for children and all members of the community.
Nehring noted that the city’s Parks and Recreation Department trusts that it can count on support and involvement from Kiwanis to help with some of their
most popular commu-nity events, including the annual Youth Fishing Derby and Pancake Breakfast at Kiwanis Pond in Jennings Park, the Father/Daughter Valentine’s Dance, providing free popcorn at the Popcorn in the Park Summer Movie Series, and through food ser-vice at events like Touch-a-Truck, Poochapalooza, and Merrysville for the Holidays, among other venues.
