The Marysville Globe
MARYSVILLE ~— Seniors
Michaela Caldwell and Jeremy
Goldman are the December Stu-
dents of the Month for the Marys-
ville School District.
Both are standout track ath-‘
letes and have high marks on
their academic transcripts as
well. The pair were selected by
the Marysville Soroptimist and
Kiwanis clubs which fund several
scholarships to reward worthy
graduating students at the end
every school year.
Class president Caldwell
boasts a nearly flawless grade
point average of 3.9, earned with
a heavy load of advanced place-
ment classes. The honors stu-
dent has been in highly—capable
classes since her days at Pine-
wood Elementary School and is
used to carrying larger workload
that most other students. She
said the more rigorous syllabi in
AP classes helps keep her on her
toes.
“I need pushing in my stud
ies or else I slack off," Caldwell
laughed during a break from her
college-level algebra class.
That’s one of her favorite sub—
‘ jects. The 18-year-old took AP cal—
culus as a junior and would have
completed all the math offerings
Tickets on sale for Valentine’ 3 Day dance '
by Tom Corrigan
The Marysville Globe
MARYSVILLE The city parks
and recreation department will
begin selling tickets Jan. 11 for
it's annual Father—Daughter Val-
entine’s Day Dance events.
Dances are slated for Feb. 2
and Feb. 9. The early dances are
5:30-7 pm, while the evening ses-
at M—P until the new advanced
algebra class was created this
year. Math and science might be
hard for others but Caldwell said
they are her favorite subjects.
“They both just come really
easy for me,” she said. “Honestly
I don‘t know why they are easy.
I can do math in my head a lot.
I can see the problems, I can do
them out in my head. But I'm also
really good with computers and
that kind of stuff.”
Math appeals to her because of
the objective nature, the certainty
that there is always a right answer,
always the same correct answer.
Math has structure and she likes
that. Science on the other hand is
also objective, but there are often
several ways to reach a correct
answer and that appeals to her
creative side.
“I really like doing labs," she
laughed. “I really like dissect-
ing things. I think that's a lot of
fun."
She plans to attend either
Seattle Pacific University or West-
ern washington University on
her way to a career as a math
or science teacher. Even though
many industries are clamoring to
hire more women in engineering,
Caldwell took a pass after briefly
considering the field. During a
summer leadership camp earlier
this year Caldwell was a facilitator

will be held in the Cedarcrest
School cafeteria, 6400 88th St. NE,
Marysville.
Tickets include a 5x7 photo,
cookies, punch, a DJ, dancing and
door prizes.
The dance is designed for all
ages. Tickets are $12 per couple,
$3 for each additional daughter
and can be purchased at the parks
and said she could sense her com-
ing into her own when she taught
her peers, and that helped make
up her mind.
“I’m pretty good at it and I’ve
taught kids in the past."
Away from the books the
Marysville native is a hit with the
track and field and Swimming
teams, going to state for both
sports. In fact, Caldwell holds the
school record for the pole vault,
which she notched her sopho—
more year and then beat by two
more inches last year as a junior.
She frequently practices vaulting
at the University of Washington,
where they hold a weekly clinic
for prep athletes.
If there‘s ever a CSI: Marysville,
Jeremy Goldman will be starring
front and center. Goldman is
hoping to build on his family's
impressive law enforcement ped—
igree by forging a career in the
forensic sciences. His father is
Jeff Goldman, a newly promoted
lieutenant with the Marysville
Police Department, who inspired
his son to study in the fields of
criminology and forensics when
he graduates.
“My dad’s background, see-
ing him with police work - It's
always been interesting to me,"
Goldman said.

Campaign.
Those who want to help may
donate new or gently worn coats,
hats, scarves or mittens. All dona-
tions will be distributed in west~
ern Washington through local
social service agencies.
“As people consider the gifts
of clothing they've received, we
ask them to consider those less
fortunate since the coldest days
of winter are approaching,” said
Becky Skaggs, spokesperson for
Haggen, Inc.
Customers of Haggen and
TOP Food and Drug have donated
between 5,000 and 6,000 coats

ate glevel. He considered Wearing
a gun and a badge himself but his
father urged him to reach higher.
“My dad’s told me he wants
bettér fer me than to be a police
officer."
honors student for his
entire high school tenure, Gold-
manlwon a leadership award
in French and has numerous
extra-curricular activities on his
calendar. Serving as activities
coordinator puts him squarely
in the middle of most campus
events, including You Gotta Love
This Place, the annual spruce up
at the start of each school year
and many others, freshman ori-
entation and homecoming.
His favorite subjects are math
and English; creativity for the lat-
ter and structure for math.
“1 guest I’m just and organized
person and I like to do something
where there is a right answer," he
explained.
Goldman is an unlikely track
and field star, where he went to
district competitions in the shot
put and discuss. He can throw
the sphere 47 feet, the disc 130,
but the tall young man laughs
because he’s at least 50 to 100
pounds lighter than the athletes
he competes against.
“1 like to be the odd man out,
I guess," Goldman said. “I like to
Michaela Caldwell
stand out in things like that.“
That’s a change for the reti-
cent young man, who came from
a debate class where he and
his partner argued successfully
for mandatory drug testing in
schools. They won by arguing
that it would eliminate drugs on
school campuses, citing supreme
court cases affirming the practice
doesn't violate the Fifth Amend-
ment.
English teacher Margaret John-
son has taught Goldman for two
years said he is well—liked by his
peers and has a low—key manner

endeavors.
“They accept what he says
with a modicum of grace. That‘s
great for me, because I can rely on
him,“ said Johnson. “He's a great
writer.”
Her husband is a retired cop,
so she knows the pressure on a
police officer‘s children. Johnson
has nominated him for student of
the month honors every month
since the beginning of the year, so
it's safe to say she’s a big fan.
"He’s just a really well rounded
kid," Johnson said. “I wish I had a
hundred of him."

The Marysville Globe
The Community Transit
Board of Directors last week
unanimously approved the
agency’s six—year transit devel»
opment plan, which includes
several projects that will — or
potentially could — impact both
Marysville and Arlington.
Potential projects or stud-
ies could include Community
Transit collaborating with local
governments to determine how
mass transit might improve traf-
fic flow along congested traffic
routes.
Some of the traffic corridors
affected» include: North Broad-
way/State Avenue/Smokey Point
Boulevard in Everett, Marysville
and Arlington; Fourth Street/
64th Street NE in Marysville;
and, SR S31/172nd Street NE in
Arlington. '
Community Transit" spokes-
man Tom Pearc‘e's’aidt‘those
three routes are among 10
“transit emphasis corridors" in
Snohomish County. The streets
could end up hosting branches
of the new Swift bus rapid tran-
sit system, the first stretch of
which is included in the new six-
year plan.
According to Pearce, the first
Swift bus line will run from
Everett to Aurora Village near
the Snohomish/King county
border. The line should be up
and running in 2009.
More immediately, the six-
year plan calls for develop-
ment of a number of park and
ride facilities, including one
in Marysville and one in the
Smokey Point area.
At the same meeting during
which they approved the six-
year plan, the transit board also
selected Perteet Inc., to com-
plete design and engineering
work for a new Marysville park
and ride to be constructed at
the corner of Cedar Avenue and
Grove Street.
The Everett—based company
will complete soil and water
studies as well as designing
the park and ride. The facility
should accommodate between
200 and 250 vehicles, along
with a bus platform. The cost
for this portion of the project
was given as $350,000. Commu-
nity Transit expects to open the
new complex in 2009.
Pearce said the Grove/Cedar
park and ride will supplement,
not replace, any existing facili-
ties in Marysville. The transit
systemsalready. has facilities at
ssh ,AYPQPQfEHF’, Sign; Street:
"at 'ASh and. Second Street; and,
at 116th Street just west of 15.
Even with a combined total of
346 parking spaces, Pearce said
those facilities generally are at
or near capacity.
"We already have a lot of
parking in Marysville," Pearce
said, “but the demand is there
and we want to meet the
demand.”
“There is a real need for more
park and ride space in Snohom-
ish County,” Joyce Eleanor,
Community Transit CEO said
in a press release. “We expect
the need to double in the next
10 years. The demand in North
Snohomish County continues
to grow and we appreciate the
Transit plan includes local projects
cooperation we’ve had from the
city of Marysville."
Pearce said the transit sys—
tem still is in the process of
selecting a site for a Smokey
Point area park and ride.
Overall, the six-year plan
calls for increasing Community
Transit ridership by 50 percent
from 2005 levels to 13 million
passengers in 2012. According
to Pearce, the Swift bus rapid
transit system, or BRT, will be a
key factor in meeting that goal.
Pearce added that, essen-
tially, the BRT is designed to
rapidly move commuters over
short distances. The system is a
sort of combination of bus and
light rail, with stations instead
of stops. The stops will number
fewer than on a normal bus line
and will sit one to two miles
apart. The first stretch from
Everett to the county line should
have 15 stops in bothdirections
along-it;sr16.7—mile length.- l .. w.
Peartce continued that at sta- ‘
tion houses, lighted signs will
announce how long until the
next bus arrives. Buses also can
make use of a system which
forces traffic lights to stay green
a few seconds longer, allowing
buses to move more quickly
along their routes. Pearce noted
the traffic light control sys—
tem will not be as dramatic as
that employed by many police
departments, that traffic lights
will not switch automatically
when a bus approaches.
