A look back at some of
the stories that appeared
on the pages of The
Marysville Globe 2008.

Jan. 9
Lakewood School
Superintendent Larry
Francois said his district
would need to make some
$3 million to $4 million in
budget cuts should voters
ultimately decide against
renewal of an existing
maintenance and operat-
ing levy.
Francois said the levy
currently generates about
17 percent of the district's
budget. "There's no way
we could absorb that kind
of hit," he said.
Jan. 16
Chancellor Kenyon
Chan, of the University
of Washington's Both-
ell campus, shared his
thoughts on the value of
higher education with the
Arlington-Smokey Point
Chamber of Commerce
Jan. 9 and; perhaps, inad-
vertently, offered tidbits
of home to advocates of a
north county campus.
After relaying statistics
on the economic benefit of
college degrees CA B.A.
gets an average income
of $54,000 and a M.A.
gets an average income
of $71,000), he went on
to say that college gradu-
and college campuses are
huge economic engines
as well as cultural institu-
tions.

When Joseph Spengler
retired at 62, he wasn't
entirely sure what he
wanted to do.
He was certain of one
thing. "I didn't want to sit
down and do nothing,"
gler started hiking. One
walk took him past a gym
where a flyer advertised
organized climbs of Mt.
Rainier. Spengler even-
tually did take a shot at
Rainier and made it up a
number of the mountains
that border 1-90.
All those experiences,
however, turned out to be
a warm up to the morning
of Dec. 24. That's when
Uhuru Peak, the 19,340-
foot-high summit of Mt.
Kilimanjaro, the highest
point on the African con-
tinent.

Your calendar most
likely tells you it is late
in January. So why then
is The Marysville Globe
carrying a story on flu
season? It's over, or at
Actually, according
to Dr. Gary Goldbaum,
health officer for the
Snohomish Health Dis-
trict, flu season normally
arrives in western Wash-
ington along with the end
of December. This year it
arrived even later, Gold-
baum said, actually just in
the last few weeks.

Washington Secretary
of State Sam Reed noted
the upcoming Feb. 19
primaries, as well as the
November general presi-
dential election, are his-
toric in that, for the first
time since 1952, neither
an incumbent president
nor an incumbent vice
president will be run-
ning.
And with the state
tial primaries since 2000,
Reed and other observers
also are convinced Wash-
ington voters can have a
direct effect on who gains
the major party nomina-
tions later this year.
