Community comes together for Night Out for Mental Health Community groups came together to support county residents in need as part of the Night Out for Mental Health on Aug. 18. Organizations such as the Stillaguamish Tribe, Cocoon House, and the Snohomish Health District all came out to talk about how they could help those struggling with substance use disorders or other men tal health problems.
“I’ve been out and about and saw sales being set up now,” said William Frankhous er, organizer for the event. Inclement weather stalled the start for many of the sales this year. “We had some rain to kick off the event and some garage sales had to delay setting up for a bit,” said Frankhouser. “It’s much needed rain, but it’s not good for a garage sale.”After the rain tapered off, better weather came to the area. “I’ve seen some pretty good crowds com ing out already,” said Frankhouser. This year featured 80 garage sales as part of the event, surpassing last year’s total of 76. “We had a lot of last minute sign-ups as we usually do,” said Frankhouser. “Hope fully we can get back up over 100 next year again.”The first couple years of the event be

“It’s our first year but it’s pretty cool,” said local par ent Reino Garcia.
“This is amazing to see local grass roots efforts taking place in our com munity,” said Stallings. “It’s also been really good to connect with other nonprofits that are doing similar work. It really takes a village and it’s good for us all to come together.”
“We all know that not only our county, but our country is having an epidemic of opioid overdoses,” said Wheat.“In2015, [Washington State De partment of Social and] Health Ser vices provided Narcan to all the law enforcement officers in Snohomish County. It was supposed to be a oneyear pilot program and it ended up going for five years,” she added. That program ended up saving around 300 lives in the county. Goubeau said she was glad with how the event went. “Hopefully, this will just be one of many, and more people can join in the future as well,” she said. “It seems like it could even be a quarterly thing. There really is a need for consistency in these conversations.”

The event also typically attracts a number of people to come to Marysville as it's a garage sale event on the calendar between north Ev erett’s Mother of All Garage Sales and the Gleneagle’s community garage sale. Shoppers also enjoy the variety of items they are able to find at the event. “It brings people into the community to find trea sures,” said Frankhouser, who added his kids have been looking to expand their collection of PEZ dis pensers and dolls. Local parent Jake Bor duy said he saw the signs for the event and decided to walk around for the day. “It’s pretty nice and it’s convenient being so close, and it gives families a good reason to get out and enjoy the good weather,” he said. This year the Cascade Catholic Reform Church was also able to host a num ber of other sales for the community, as well as hav ing their own giveaway, on Saturday, Aug. 20. This is the fourth year the local church has pro vided free items during the All Marysville Garage Sale. “We were inspired by the Buy Nothing project when we were cleaning out our church and realized we had a lot of stuff that could be of use to people,” said Amy Kass, a volunteer at the church. “We had a blast doing that and met so many neighbors that didn’t even know that our church was here."The church members en joy getting out for the event. “Even through COVID, it’s just been a nice outdoor event to participate in,” she said.They plan to continue giving away items for free during the event “as long as our church members con tinue to have stuff to do nate,” said Kass. In addition, this is the first year the church has been able to provide space for others to sell their items. “We hope that next year we will have even more of them here,” said Kass. That has been some thing that some community members were asking about before this year. “For example, there are people who aren’t able to hold a garage sale because they live in an apartment complex and it would go against the apartment poli cies,” said Frankhouser. He said it was good to see that support this year for those who needed it. More information about the annual garage sale event is available at marysvilleg sale.com.
The Center for Justice Social Work was started by Goubeau after she served as a social worker partnered with the Everett Police Department.

It’s nice for all of us to come together and come up with some creative solutions,” said Matt Hickman, a community resource paramedic with North County Fire andJessicaEMS.
Community organizations were also able to connect with each other to work on how to improve services to those who may need them.
A presentation from Snohomish County Opioid Outreach Special ist Amy Wheat was also provided to teach individuals about Narcan, a medicine used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
“I quickly realized how robust the problem was and how multi-faceted it was and I wanted to create an or ganization of my own that could be really creative in how we address things,” she said.

Local families received free clothes for their chil dren as part of Smokey Point Community Church annual Back-to-School Festival on Aug. 19 and 20. The church provides free clothes to anyone who stops by for the event, even those that do not live around Smokey Point. “So far it’s been really well attended,” said Bri Car roll, one of the main orga nizers for the event. “We started at 9 a.m. and there have been around 300 people that have come so far,” she said. The event usually serves between 500 to 700 people each year and Carroll said they were on track to hit that mark“Weagain.are giving away free clothes, infant up through high school age, some free books and then some socks and some underwear,” said Carroll.Local organizations also came out to help connect families with services at the event as “We’vewell.had some agen cies here, such as Citrine Health and some pre-school programs that have been getting some community help to people that could use, so that’s pretty neat too,” saidManyCarroll.families are strug gling with high costs right now from a variety of fac tors.“I think all needs are high right now, in our community and in many others, so any ease of financial burdens that we can give is greatly appre ciated,” said VolunteerCarroll.Hanna Kooy man came out to help at the event to serve the commu nity.“I think it’s important that people receive the re sources they need.

The policy has received many thanks over the years and many local families are glad to see it is continuing every year when the district announces it on social me dia, said Sabol. “We get a lot of positive feed back every year.” The total cost to the district this year is estimated to be about $85,000, which comes out of the district’s gen eralThosefund. tax dollars come mostly from state funds and local levy dollars. The total of all expenses last year from the general fund was about $96.6 million, the majority of which was staff salaries.

Lakewood board approves budget
August 24, 2022 - August 30, 2022 NORTH COUNTY OUTLOOK4 www.northcountyoutlook.comCommunities ASD will provide supplies to students
Toward the beginning of the pan demic federal funding came to schools to allow all families to receive free lunches.That program has remained in place until now, but will end at the be ginning of the 2022-23 school year. Additional funds have been made available to continue the program in select districts and schools though, with the majority of money com ing from the federal government and Washington state supplementing with some“Wefunds.applied for elementary school funding and we were able to get that,” said Kristina Bowman, communica tions specialist with the Lakewood SchoolBecauseDistrict.of that approval free breakfast and lunch will be provided at Cougar Creek Elementary, English Crossing Elementary and Lakewood Elementary.“Ithastaken a burden off of our families to not have to fill out that free/ reduced meal form or worry about those costs,” said Bowman. At Lakewood Middle School and Lakewood High School meal costs are returning, although families can still fill out a free/reduced meal form to see if their student qualifies. Students who receive free or re duced lunch also qualify for other benefits such as waived ASB participa tionFamiliesfees. with students in an el ementary will be asked to fill out a ‘Family Income Survey’ instead. “We will be sending out a family in come survey soon,” said Bowman. “It is a lot shorter than the free/reduced mealAllform.”families will be asked to com plete“Youit. just check a box based on your family size and if you are above or below a certain income level,” said Bowman.Thedistrict is sending out the sur vey because of the free meal program.
A dean of students will be at Lakewood Middle School who will “provide additional support and supervision of students,” said Peacock.
“I think the direction of the board would be to continue in fu ture years, although that is up to them ultimately,” said Sabol.
Finally, a behavioral spe cialist at the district level will help across all schools.
Free meals will be provided for all students at all three Lakewood el ementary schools this year.
LWSD elementary school provide no-cost meals
The Arlington School District will again provide basic school supplies to all students for the up coming school year. Parents of elementary students still need to provide backpacks while parents of secondary school students need to provide binders, dividers, pencils and, optionally, backpacks.Thedistrict has provided the supplies since 2016.

Lakewood schools will largely maintain their staff ing levels with some addi tional mental health support under their 2022-23 budget.
By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
“That is just one less thing that they have to worry about as they’re heading back to school,” said Sabol. “The equity aspect is really important to the district.”
The Lakewood School District board of directors approved the budget during their Aug. 17 board meeting. “We’re generally main taining the basic staffing levels that we had last year,” said Lakewood School Dis trict Superintendent Scott Peacock.Themain changes have been in the areas of mental health and behavioral sup port. The new staff positions include 1.5 counselors at the elementary level.
The district had in creased student enrollment last year with 2,519 students. With continuing growth in the area they are projecting 2,542 students for next year.
The district has found some ways to reclaim class room space at Lakewood Middle School and also added a double portable this year to Lakewood Elementary. After those additions, Pea cock said the current Lake wood facilities will likely be good with growth for a bit. Pandemic relief funds that haven’t been spent yet will continue to be used to support areas such as extracurricular activities and next year’s summer school. “We are continuing our use of ESSER [pandemic relief] funds for student en richment,” said Peacock. For the future, Peacock said the budget is healthy, although some state funding issues may create problems soon.After the McCleary deci sion, which mandated the state legislature fully fund education as is required by the Washington state con stitution, the legislature in creased funding to school districts and included a ‘regionalization’ factor for teacher salaries. That factor was meant to take into account the differ ing cost of living in different parts of the state, and there fore more state funding for teacher salaries went to areas with higher cost of living. However, as part of that initial plan, those additional funds were built to slowly decrease year after year. That decrease will slowly tighten local school district’s bud gets.
“It is a requirement with the pro gram to get the income survey out to families,” said Bowman.
“The board continues to look at where families have costs to par ticipate in the district,” said Sabol. During the 2019-20 school year the board eliminated sports participation fees. “That could be a barrier for some students who wanted to take part in sports,” said Sabol. He said that it is unlikely the district can eliminate every pos sible expense for families, but that district leaders hope to reduce as much as they can. The policy of providing basic supplies is evaluated every year by the board, usually in the begin ning of the summer.
The free meal program is good for the next four years. Survey responses will help determine if it continues after that.“That data will help determine our eligibility for the program for later years,” said Bowman. Family income data is also used to access some state funding or educa tional programs for students, such as the Learning Assistance Program, so the district hopes to receive enough response from their Family Income Survey.Bowman said district officials are happy that they have secured no cost meals for elementary schools.
“This is something that the school board has been interest ed in for a long time,” said Gary Sabol, direction of communica tions with the Arlington School District.The school board directed a committee to look at the total costs of schooling for families in 2014. The district hoped to find ways to reduce financial burdens of school ing for families and eventually was directed by the board to begin pay ing for basic supplies in 2016. “They decided that the school district would begin to cover school supplies and we have con tinued that even as we have gone through COVID and distance learning,” said Sabol. It was an action taken to sup port local families in need. “Certainly some families are more impacted than others by the cost of supplies,” said Sabol. “We want to take the burden off of thoseThatfamilies.”effortalso allows all stu dents to be starting on even foot ing with most supplies.

2. “I’m looking for the bargains” — It is true, like all retailers, there comes a point when we need to turn our inventory. While Nordstrom’s may call it their “rack”, in our case it’s our “Take Me Home Please” department. These are good plants that have just gone past their prime and need to get out of their pots and into the garden. You can usually save 50% on these treasures. It is al ways well stocked this time of year.

3. “I need some inspi ration” — When it comes to surrounding yourself with the beauty of plants, nothing beats a trip to the garden center. I often find customers that had no intention of purchasing anything when they came in and simply needed to get out of the house. You can almost see their blood pressure drop as they move along the tables and dis plays of flowers and foliage combinations that are de signed to inspire and uplift a customer’s spirits (okay, they are also designed to encourage impulse pur chases, mea culpa).

Box 188, 103 North Street, Arlington, WA Court98223of probate proceedings and cause number: Snohomish County Superior Court, Cause No. 22-4-01596-31. 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.I was in the nursery the other weekend looking for some ideas for my next col umn, when it occurred to me: “What is it that draws shoppers into the garden center this time of year?" Considering that there is nary a shy bone in my body, I thought, why not ask a few customers why they were there. This is what I found out. 1. “I’ve gotta keep the magic going” — Although August is a truly slow time of year in the garden cen ter, for real gardeners, it’s just another month in the gardening year which is reason enough to head down to the garden cen ter to see what is new. There are always holes to plug where something just didn’t work out or a hang ing basket that was missed in a watering cycle and is now beyond resurrection. No matter how skilled of a garden designer you may be, there is always some tweaking and editing that needs to be done, and the good news is that nurser ies have just what you need to do just that, even in the month of August. In the annual department you will find gallon-size and larger specimens of Dahl ias, Zinnias, Cannas, Ce losia, Coleus, Begonias and Sunflowers, to name just a few of the options. You can plug a hole pretty fast with these well-estab lished plants. If it’s a shrub you are looking for that has some visual interest this time of year, you can choose from several options in cluding a whole host of Hydrangeas for both sun or shade, a fragrant bloom ing ‘Ruby Spice’ or ‘Vanilla Spice’ Summersweet, or a Hypericum inodorum ‘Red Star’ which has yellow blos soms in early summer and red berries later on, or ‘Flo ralberry Sangria’ with the same yellow flowers and red berries but with dark green foliage accented with deep red undersides. And of course, there is an end less list of perennials that are strutting their stuff in the month of August and beyond. Two of my favor ites are both perennial Sun flowers, one called ‘Flore Pleno’ for its double golden flowers and the other ‘Lem on Queen’ for its clear yel low single flowers.
