Pat Paulsen was leading the charge to bring more recreation facilities to the Marysville area to give young people more to do. He headed a committee of citizens who were trying to form a recreation district to build a $4 million public recreation center. The owner of the Coast to Coast store said he wanted to give back to the community.
Tom Hughley, of Marysville, demonstrated the diagonal raking motion needed to rid a friend’s garden of weeds. Spending four hours a day working in the garden made the 85-year-old something of an expert. He joked there were more weeds here than in the whole country and that it was getting worse.
