As a personal trainer for over 20 years, she helps her students achieve their fitness goals. Since being trained on how to teach Kettlebell, it has been her primary source of training clients ever since. Tracey’s made a smooth transition from a gym environment to her own success- ful personal training business, and we are excited to have her teach classes through Marysville Parks and Recre- ation. Sharing the gift of health is Trac- ey’s passion and you can see it in the success of her students. Several of her students have lost over 50 lbs. this year and gained muscle in the process! In addition to Kettlebell classes, Tracey has taught self-defense, spin, kid fit and aquatics. When she isn’t training, Tracey enjoys spending time home decorat- ing for herself and others, reading, cooking and running. Meet Tracey Mackie Kettlebell instructor Instructor Kim Reynolds Kim Re ---PAGE BREAK--- You can breathe easier now. Marysville city parks are smoke free zones. For several years, the City had only an advisory in effect discour- aging people from smoking in the parks to cut down on exposure to second-hand smoke. Now it’s a law barring smoking and other tobacco use in city parks, and pun- ishable by a fine of up to $500. “For children who are coming to the parks to play and exercise, second-hand smoke is a real health risk,” says Parks Director Jim Ballew, who led the cam- paign along with support from the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. In honor of these efforts, the Snohom- ish Health District (SHD) presented the City with a Healthy Workplace Award at the Nov. 25 City Council meeting. “Marysville is taking very seriously the health of its employees, residents, and visitors by addressing smoking the leading underlying cause of death in Snohomish County,” says Dr. Gary Goldbaum, Health Officer and SHD Director. Second-hand smoke isn’t the only problem in the park system – so are cigarette butts. Health experts say it’s more than a litter control problem; it’s also the number one call to poison control hotlines that a child has ingested a cigarette butt, which is toxic. Signs advertising the new law barring smoking and other tobacco use in Marysville city parks are posted in select parks.

The City of Marysville is hoping to make a big splash by constructing a new spraypark that could open as early as next summer. In addition to the fun factor, the spraypark will draw more visitors and help revitalize downtown, and add additional amenities at the park. Two-thirds of the funding is in place for the $325,000 project; the balance must come through local support from individual, group and service club donors. For more information about donating, please con- tact Parks Director Jim Ballew at (360) 363-8400 or email [EMAIL REDACTED].

She brought a smile to mile to every visitor, and her humor and genuine team spirit made the office a welcome place for staff and visitors.” Her service to the community during her tenure included participa- tion in American Cancer Society Relay of Life events, and volunteer- ing with Operation Marysville Community Christmas. “We are going to miss her,” Ballew says.

Public Works and Emergency Management staff in recent weeks also hosted pre-snow and ice meetings to share strategies and information with neighboring jurisdictions and utilities. “We are well-prepared for any major snow and ice events that ef-f-f fect Marysville this year,” Mayor Visit the City website to view updated Snow Routes interactive map (includes WSDOT I-5 traffic cameras). Works on smart phones, too. Jon Nehring says. “Our dedicated snow and ice response teams are ready to keep traffic moving and motorists safe on local roadways to the best of our ability and with the least amount of disruption, while protecting lives and property.” Road safety is the top priority, keeping traffic moving throughout Marysville as efficiently as possible, says Kevin Nielsen, Public Works Director. The Street Depart- ment maintains 196 miles of streets within the City. Street crews provide 24-hour coverage, conducting periodic sanding and snow-ice removal to mitigate condi- tions during a severe weather event. An in-house database system tracks response to dispatched crews in order to create more efficient work flow. Marysville’s fleet includes several ve- hicles equipped for snow and ice control, including three 10-yard trucks for plowing and sanding and another 10-yard truck that sands; 2 five-yard trucks, a 1-ton truck for plowing and sanding, and another that dispenses anti-icing liquid, says Charlie Burke, Streets and Surface Water Manager. The City’s Snow and Ice Removal Plan designates snow and ice routes for sand- ing and plowing using a zoned system, Nielsen says. Within each zone, a system of priority has been established taking into consideration topography, traffic volumes and special usage. During events where snow and ice con- ditions are widespread, Street personnel concentrate their removal efforts based on the following: • Arterials leading into and out of the City • Arterials located on hills within City boundaries • Fire and Police access • All other arterials within City boundaries That means response is focused on priority routes and arterials, such as State, 51st, 67th, 83rd and Twin Lakes avenues; 4th, Grove, 88th 116th and 136th and 152nd and 172nd west of I-5 in the Lake- wood area; and Sunnyside, Ingraham and Smokey Point boulevards. (To view the Snow Routes map, visit the City website at http://marysvillewa.gov.) When “Snow Closure-Do Not Enter” signs and barricades are placed at these locations, in the interests of public safety, motorists are advised not to go around them (same goes for pedestrians), says Burke. “In general, be cautious and use common sense when out driving or walk- ing in freezing weather.” Left, Marysville Public Works crews ready vehicles and attend snow and ice training; above, the snow- w- w plows are out well ahead of com- muters’ drive to work. ---PAGE BREAK--- WINTER/SPRING 2014 ● MARYSVILLE PARKS & RECREATION ● (360) 363-8400 ● marysvillewa.gov 32 SEPTEMBER Between September and November 2013, the Marysville City Council took action more than 81 agenda items.
