"We’ve been

“We ’re looking
to some
sleepless nights.”
“Our older kids know what ‘no‘
means, though. It'll be a while
before this one can understand
that yet.”
“He‘s been good so far, like
our other kids were," Mindy said.
"He didn’t cry. Our others lise

since November.
“We’ve been try-
ing to conceive for so long. We
already have two, but we really
wanted a third child.”
Jaden can look forward to being
cared for not only by his parents,
but also by his older brother Mark,
16, and sister Samantha, 14. Mom
and dad admitted that raising a
younger child again would be an
adjustment, but they pointed out
that they have more experience
now in doing so.
“You have to learn to be patient
with kids of any age," Dennis said.
New business has gone to

The Marysville Globe
MARYSVILLE — “Quite hon<
estly, I’ in here to play with dogs,"
confessed Sandy Rutledge as she
tried to explain the motivation
behind Camp Ruff House, a new
day care for canine types and
another new business in the city.
Located near the intersection
of State Avenue and 88th Street
NE, Camp Ruff House opened its
doors about a month ago.
The business features a large
indoor play area, complete with a
couch and toddler bed for furry
visitors to curl up on. There’s also
900-square-feet of outdoor play
space, something Rutledge feels
is particularly important.
“We looked hard for some
place where we could have an out
door area," she said, adding she
didn't want to keep her campers
.coepeciup inside all day. 7

up , said Rutledge,
{also added she and co-workers
are somewhat picky about what
dogs are accepted as campers.
“We want it to be a good fit for
the owner and the dog," Rutledge
said. '
New customers are inter-
viewed and their pets are put in
the mix with other campers to
see how they do. Rutledge simply
won’t take excessively aggressive
or mean dogs.
Last week, about a dozen dogs
roamed around the indoor space,
all calm and surprisingly quiet.
There is a space where dogs can
be separatedif need be.

having contrac-
tions. Mindy
started pushing,
and 10 minutes
later, she delivered laden, who
weighted 6.9 pounds and was
18.75 inches'long.
“Watching him breathe is
amazing," Dennis said. “We miss
playing with our two older ones,
when they were younger. We were
watching a Christmas video with
them, from when they were 3 and
5 years old, and we joked, ‘We
wish you were that small again!”
"We’re looking forward to
some sleepless nights," Mindy
“We can give them a little time
out," Rutledge said, though she
also said she has used that “time
out" space sparingly so far.
Among the regular campers is
Rutledge’s own dog, Rosy, a half
Golden Retriever, half Border col-
lie who has earned a whole new
reputation since the opening of
Camp Ruff House.
' On a cold, rainy afternoon,
one of Rutledge’s co-workers
accidentally locked herself out of
the facility. The dogs inside were
confined to their usual space and
never at any risk, according to
Rutledge. Still, the co-worker tried
to get back in and called through
the door for to Rosy for help.
Somehow, the dog not only tore
open the gate to the play area, but
pushed on a lever that allowed
the front door to the facility to
be opened as well.
Rutledge described Rosie’s
heroics as “pure, dumb-"luck."
v “We tried to'regreate it 3 mil-
lion times," Rutledge said.
Besides day care service, Camp
Ruff also offers do—it~yourself
grooming facilities, which Rut—
ledge said have proved pretty
popular. One reason is, she
believes, the decision to install
people-sized bathtubs to accom-
modate large size dogs. Further,
those tubs sit at a level that
allows owners to scrub their pets
without bending over. '
For the future, Rutledge hopes
to offer doggy events, the first
likely being a Valentine's Day
party for owners and dugs alike,
with special, homemade treats for
the dogs.

they’re still kids, and they’re still
entitled to make mistakes."
“It’s not going to be easy," Den-
nis said. “Just from raising our
teens, we know how much things
have changed since we were grow—

lives with our kids."
The Capiendos thanked the

Sandy Rutledge has a little fun with a few of the guests at
Camp Ruff House.
Rutledge said the idea of
Camp Ruff developed during con-
versations with a neighbor over a
backyard fence. Both expressed
dissatisfaction with their * jobs
and eventually Camp Ruff became
a way out of what had become
Rutledge‘s daily grind. She said
business has so far been pretty
good, but in any case she's not
complaining.
Lakewood schools send levies
$1.85 in 2009, $1.73 in 2010,
$1.62 in 2011 and $1.54 in 2012.
The current levy is costing
property owners $2.17 per $1,000
in property valuation. The district
claims that puts Lakewood among
the least costly of local school dis-
tricts.
By comparison, other dis-
trict. basic property tax rates
are: Arlington, $2.32; Marysville,
$2.62; Lake Stevens, $2.63 and
Darrington, $3.12.
Francois said the operating
levy covers about what you would
expect it to cover, namely the day-
to-day expenses of the district.
He said the levy proceeds are
very close to equaling every cost
incurred by the district outside
of employee salaries, paying for
everything from transportation to
textbooks.
“People need to understand
the state and federal govern-
ment don‘t fully fund the basic
education of our children," Ross
added.

MARYSVILLE — The North-
ern Snohomish American Cancer
Society kicks off the local celebra-
tion of the 2008 Relay for Life at
6 p.m. Jan. 17 in the “The Barn"
in Jennings Memorial Park, 6915
Armar Rd., Marysville.
Taking place at locations
across the country, the Relay for
Life is billed as the largest non-
profit fundraiser in the world.
David Kiefer is the other co—chair
of the levy committee. In regard
to the technology levy, Kiefer
said the issue would allow Lake—
wood to “bring our kids up the
current level of technology and
allow our teachers to teach more
efficiently."
The district projects the tech-
nology levy would cost 33 cents
per $1,000 in assessed property
value in 2009. The figure drops
one cent each year over the four—
year life of the levy.
Again according to district
figures, the technology issue
would raise about $800,000 next
year with collections increasing
approximately $100,000 each
year over the life of the levy.
State law allows districts to
go to voters with operating lev-
ies every four years. Should the
operating issue fail in February,
Francois feels Lakewood schools
would have no choice but to
approach voters again later this
year. Under Washington rules,
districts only get two Chances
Life kick-off is Jan
The kick-off event will feature
inspirational speeches from cancer
survivors, information on the Relay
for Life and food and prizes.
Founded 20 years ago by a
Tacoma physician, the Relay for
Life has grown to be what the
American Cancer Society touts as
its best known fundraising event,
held in 4,200 communities and
having raised more than $1 billion
toward cancer research, education
and patient services.
“Relay for Life is about inspir—
each year to convince voters to
pass operating issues.
Ross said she is “cautiously
optimistic” about the chances of
both levies. She said voters state—
wide may have done Lakewood
a favor late last year when they
changed rules requiring school
levies earn 60 percent of all bal-
lots cast in order to pass. Levies
now need a simple majority from
voters to gain approval.
When the current operating
levy initially went before voters
in 2004, it earned less than 60
percent of the vote and therefore
failed. Voters approved it with
a better than 60 percent margin
during a second election, but Ross
said it would have passed the first
time had only a simple majority
been needed.
Like all Washington elections,
Lakewood School District voting
is done by mail. For the Febru—
ary vote, initial ballots should go
out from the county Jan. 31 and
must be postmarked by Feb. 19 in
orderrto be counted. Ross said it‘s
ing hope, celebrating survivors,
remembering those we lost and
finding a cure for cancer," said
’ Tracy Anderson, local event co-
chair. "This kick-off is to rein-
force the‘ fact. that a community
can make a difference in the fight
against cancer.”
This year‘s North Snohomish
Relay for Life takes place June
7-8 at Marysville-Pilchuck High
School. Described as a family
oriented event, Relay for Life asks
teams of participants to walk, run
“Our worst day here would
probably be about equal to our
best day at our old jobs,” she
said.

to voters
her committee‘s primary goal to
make sure voters in favor of the
levy return their ballots.
“Our message is that every
vote truly is needed," she said.
Toward that end, the commit—
tee will have so-called “ballot bud-
dies” calling voters known to be
in favor of the levies and remind-
ing them to mail in their ballots.
The committee also plans three
mailings and some computerized
phone calling. Ross’s daughter
Hannah will voice the message
on the automated calls.
The committee has about
$3,000 to spend on the campaign
so far. Ross said they would like
to raise about $2,000 more, partly
to leave Some money in the bank
for any future needs. To contact
the committee, call Ross at 360—
