M’ville: Somber but strong “Never, never be afraid to do what’s right … Society’s wounds are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

MARYSVILLE – A year ago today was the worst day in Marysville school history. But rather than look away, Marysville and Tulalip

Tribes officials worked to open communications so another tragedy won’t happen. Schools superintendent Becky Berg said listening to students is key. “The best prevention is

having relationships with kids so they will share concerns,” Berg said. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said one thing parents learned is to watch social media. Classes were

taught to teach parents to look out for red flags. “The walls are slowly coming down. The culture’s starting to change,” he said SEE MPHS, PAGE 2

Event helps family of mom who died By BRANDON ADAM badam@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — It was a special night at MarysvillePilchuck High School Oct. 22. Not because it was a crosstown-rivalry volleyball game against Marysville Getchell, but because the community came together for one “Miracle Minute.” The fundraiser was held in support of Karrie Spitzer, who died from breast can-

cer three weeks ago at the age of 40. After the second match, fans from MG and M-P emptied their pockets in support of Spitzer’s family into buckets past around by the M-P booster club. They raised $572. Spitzer’s family was grateful. “It was certainly very generous,” said Karrie’s father, Jerry O’hail. “Karrie was a very special daughter as all daughters would be.” She was also a very spe-

cial mother, O’hail said. She left behind two kids — Mason, a freshman at MG, and Emily, a senior at M-P. “She was a very good mother,” O’hail said. “If you knew her kids you’d get a good idea about their mother.” Karrie’s mother, Carol, was stunned by the kindness. She had “no words” but was “just blown away by what the school has done.” SEE CURE, PAGE 2

Adults also need to be involved. “There’s a great awareness to be involved in kids’ lives,” he added. “We need to be aware of our own family and friends and watch out for one another.” Walk today On Oct. 24, 2014, a Friday, a distraught MarysvillePilchuck freshman killed four friends and then himself in the high school cafeteria. Upon reflection, even after reading hundreds upon hundreds of pages of investigative reports, Berg still has a hard time believing it happened. “We had the unthinkable happen last year,” she said. “I don’t know how you could know anything” like that was going to occur. In remembrance of the victims, MPHS is having A Walk of Strength today; gates at the school will open at 9 a.m. A brief ceremony and time of reflection will take place at 10:20 a.m. The community event will

include a 1.6-mile walk around the high school and the opportunity to plant 10,000 tulip bulbs beneath the football field scoreboard. The tribes provided about 2,000 t-shirts for school students, faculty and volunteers for the walk. “The Marysville and Tulalip communities are defined by our coming together to heal and chart a course of recovery,” Berg has said. “We will never forget, but we are united and are working to create a better, more hope-filled future.” Mental health Both Berg and Nehring said one of the best improvements for the community has been an increase in mental health resources. “It’s healthy to talk about mental health without the stigma attached,” Nehring said. “It’s a big piece of the problems in society.” Berg said going forward mental health of students has to be part of the equation at schools. Out-ofschool factors are so important in teaching the whole child that counseling should play more of a role, she added. Berg said many students

have been amazing about seeking emotional support. “A lot want to go somewhere and talk and open up, talk about their feelings,” she said. “It’s safer to talk about mental health, which is critical to overall health.” Along with the social services community, Nehring said the faith community also has stepped up in a “dramatic way. They did whatever they could do to help, with no strings attached.” School safety School security also is something that has improved. Nehring said the school district re-evaluated its security and did whatever it could to make sure it’s safe and secure as much as possible for students. Part of that is the school resource officers, which soon will be increasing to five. Nehring said students develop relationships with them and learn to trust the officers. So if something goes wrong, they are not afraid to talk to them. Also, out of school, the officers go to places where students hang out, to keep in touch with them, through the Youth Services Unit.

Berg also said SROs have been outstanding. “The city does a great job of picking officers who will connect with kids,” Berg said. With heightened anxiety due to the anniversary, the SROs had daily visibility this week on the M-P campus. Closer community Berg said the community has become closer in the past year. Partnerships have formed, and they are more united. “It’s not one big happy family, but I see more unity than a divide,” she added. Nehring agreed that while there was a sense of community before the tragedy, it actually brought everyone closer. “We helped people through difficult times by loving, caring and supporting one another,” he said. Berg credited the Recovery Committee with playing an important role along with pastors, agencies, the tribes, the city and the district. “They keep coming, keep caring. It’s phenomenal how selfless people are at times,” she said.

Berg said a memorial for the victims will be the district’s next project. As for the cafeteria, ground will be broken to build a new one in December. A new evacuation site also is being planned. “It took an emotional toll” on students returning to that site during a bomb threat late last year, she said. The schools chief said she talked with local police chiefs about things to be looking for around the anniversary. “Some can’t move on. They have hidden things,” Berg said about pent-up emotions. Somber anniversary Nehring said he is somber about the anniversary of the shooting. “It brings back memories of the dark days,” he said. “The remembrance of families who lost their loved ones, and the kids and first responders who saw it and will never get it out of their minds.” But like it says on the MP Memorial Foundation website, “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed, it means the damage no longer controls our lives.” With a similar thought,

Nehring said, “We need to continue to heal and move forward as a strong community.”

CURE FROM Page 1 “It’s overwhelming I didn’t think anyone would ever do anything like that,” Karrie’s husband, Mike, added. The team has done a “Dig for a Cure” in the past with funds going to breast cancer agencies. This year they wanted to help a local family. “It was kind of unanimous,” M-P coach Brittany Fitzmaurice said. M-P volleyball player Samantha Lilgreen knows the Spitzers quite well. She played volleyball with Emily when they were little, Mike said. “She was really touched and wanted to help anyway she could.” She was described as a “warrior” and “strong” by her family. She was most remembered for her love for animals and her range of interests, such as gardening and being a concrete artist. Life’s hard without her. “We’re a team now and take it day by day,” Mike said.

‘Night Out’ makes breast health easier

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Every October, in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Michelle Crawford and her friends swing by the Cascade Valley Hospital for the first leg of a “Mammograms and Margaritas” night. This year, that night coincided with the hospital’s first “Pink Night Out” Oct. 21, which offered not only sales of baked goods and jewelry and handmade Seahawksthemed Christmas ornaments, but also opportunities to learn more about women’s health and breast cancer prevention. Jacqueline Johnson, director of imaging for the hospital, guided women through a model of how to check for lumps on their own breasts, while also scheduling them for mammograms. Meanwhile, vendors will

donate 10 percent of their sales from the evening to the Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation, which has used those proceeds to provide a portable mammogram van on-site to the Arlington Relay For Life for two years. “We hope to continue that in the years to come,” said Jennifer Egger, community relations coordinator for the hospital. “During those mammograms, we found several women who had issues that needed to be followed up on, for which they received treatment. About one in every eight women have findings from their mammograms that require follow-ups. Early detection saves lives.” Although a number of health care professionals have recently begun saying that women can wait until 45 to begin mammograms, Egger still recommended checking with one’s doctor as early as 40. “It depends on your fami-

Egger touted Cascade Valley’s mammography services, including staff member Donna Marler, whom Egger claims has “a fan club” in the community. “She’s so good at what she

also received fluffy pink bathrobes, Egger reminded the community that the “Taking Steps to Beat Breast Cancer” walk will take place Oct. 31. For details, visit www. takingstepstobeatbreastcancer.com.

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

IN OUR VIEW

Marysville council It takes a lot to beat an incumbent, especially one who is a hometown guy who has done a fine job the past four years on the Marysville City Council. But Clarence Shaw not only would fit in well on the council, he also would be superior to incumbent Rob Toyer because he would be a leader, something the council needs. The city has a terrific mayor and staff, and the council normally agrees with what they do unanimously. But the board needs someone who will question things. The best decisions are not made in a vacuum. They are made when healthy discussions take place. If plans are not questioned, that detailed look into them doesn’t occur. Shaw is a man who will professionally question city actions to make sure the best decisions are made. Shaw, 53, has experience as both a city councilman and school board member. As a councilman his major accomplishment was an anti-gang measure. There was an uproar when he left quickly around election time, but that was because of a deployment. Now retired as an Army Reserve major, he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. While he has only lived here four years that could be a good thing because he has an outside worldly perspective that others on the council do not have. His experience could be invaluable to the city. But what also makes his candidacy intriguing is many of his goals are similar to what the council and city already are doing. He wants the city to market itself. He wants the city to have an identity. He wants the city to have a healthy downtown. He wants the city to quit losing business to surrounding areas. He said revenue sales are not where they should be because too many people spend their money elsewhere. That echoes what the mayor and council have been saying for some time. Toyer works well with the council and city departments. But he has fallen short in leadership roles. Specifically, he could have played major roles on two of the city’s most-controversial issues - fireworks and the rural fire authority. Instead, in both cases, the issues are still undecided. Another question about Toyer is he does not rule out another run at state government. He said he can handle both jobs. But with the city doing so much, should he really share his time? We say no. We want a council member who will give his all to the council, Clarence Shaw.

Playing important to early learners

For the past several years, increasing learning opportunities for our youngest students has been a focus of Arlington Public Schools. As research shows, the benefits of investing greatly in early childhood education are many. Early childhood experiences, occurring between birth and age 8, positively impact a child throughout their school career and beyond. As adults, children with strong early learning experiences are more likely to be employed, will earn higher wages and are likely to become good citizens. This past summer, the district made great strides with our early learning offerings when over 350 preschool through fifthgrade students took part in one or more of the district summer learning experiences. Whether it was a weekly trip to the “Books on the Bus” bookmobile, third-grade summer literacy camp or the bilingual summer program, students were immersed in meaningful learning that provided many opportunities to strengthen academic skills and interact with adults and

peers in a relaxed, fun environment. As we begin the 20152016 school year, early learning continues to be a priority. For the first time, we are providing full-day kindergarten for all students at no cost to the family. This has resulted in restrucBookey turing the kindergarten program based on research and best practices. If you walk through any kindergarten classroom in Arlington Public Schools, you will see puppet theaters, play kitchens, dollhouses, train sets and Legos. All of these materials are part of the learning-through-play component embedded within the kindergarten day. Few would disagree that children develop skills at different rates and ways. Providing a kindergarten child with open-ended play naturally differentiates learning based on the interests, skill level and unique needs of that child. When

young children have the opportunity to engage in play on a consistent basis, they will develop stronger vocabulary, language comprehension and problemsolving skills, and increase their attention span. These skills all link directly to the child’s ability to master academic content in areas such as reading and math. Learning through play is not a new concept nor are the benefits limited to primary-aged students. Students of all ages and adults learn through play. Whether it is building a robot, taking violin lessons or creating a structure with wooden blocks, learning through play allows children to build cognitive skills, develop socially and emotionally, and gain the self-confidence needed to participate in new experiences and environments. The value of learning through play doesn’t begin in kindergarten. Beginning at birth, immersing a child in play activities is critical to development. These play times need not be structured and planned by an adult, but rather let the child take the lead in their play.

Exploration and experimenting should be at the heart of all play. Touching, banging and throwing all are fascinating to children as young as 4-months old while an 18-month-old might be captivated with kicking, rolling and pushing a ball. As children grow and develop new skills, their play will become increasingly complex and more imaginative. Pretend play and using familiar objects in new and creative ways are ideal for a toddler making connections and learning about the world around them. As Arlington Public Schools continues our work to provide the best possible programs for our youngest learners, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships with families and our community early learning providers. These partnerships are critical in ensuring all of Arlington’s children have what they need to be successful in school and in life. Terri Bookey is the director of Early Learning and Categorical Programs for Arlington Public Schools.

Dealing with fires and other disaster tips Preparation is key in dealing with fires during a disaster situation. People need to know how to turn off utilities that may fuel a fire. They need to have and know how to use a fire extinguisher. And they need to know when to leave to keep themselves safe. Dave Van Beek, Marysville’s assistant fire marshal, gave the presentation to the Community Emergency Response Team Oct. 20. Van Beek talked about extinguishing small fires, preventing additional fires by removing fuel sources and shutting off utilities. He explained that fires need heat, fuel and oxygen. To put out a fire, one of the three needs to be taken away, such as by suffocating a blaze with dirt. There are five classes of fuel for fires: A. Ordinary combustibles like wood and paper. B. Flammable liquids such as gas. C. Energized electrical equipment such as a heater. D. Combustible metals. E. Cooking oils. Most extinguishers work on the three most-common

sources: A, B and C. Reducing electrical hazards can help avoid fires. Don’t plug too many items into an outlet, run cords under carpet or let cords become frayed, without replacing. Also, know where shutoff valves are for appliances, circuit b re a k e r s and fuse boxes. Natural gas can be a probPowell lem, as an explosive and asphyxiant. A rotten egg smell will show there is a leak. Be sure to install natural gas and carbon monoxide detectors, test every month and replace batteries every six months, just like with smoke alarms. If you need to shut it off at the meter, turn the valve closest to the ground a quarter of a turn. Likewise, people should store liquids remembering the acronym LIES (Limit, Isolate, Eliminate, Separate). That means some chemicals

can be dangerous to mix in a spill, such as during an earthquake, so it is safer not to store a lot of that material close together. When sizing up a fire, people need to determine if they have the right equipment, if there are other problems such as downed lines that could be even more dangerous, is the building structurally damaged, if there is an escape route and if the fire can be fought safely? A hose and water can put out some fires, but a fire extinguisher works better on many fire sources. Labels say not only what type of fire the extinguisher works on, but how many square feet it can put out. Such as one that says 40A can put out a fire with paper as its source up to 40 square feet. When using an extinguisher, remember the acronym PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). People have to pull out the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger and sweep it across the bottom of the blaze. Move closer as

it starts to die out. Van Beek said that more people die from smoke inhalation than burns, and people should only try to battle a blaze with a partner. Hazardous materials are something people don’t want to mess with, he said. They can explode. Water cannot put them out and can sometimes make them worse. There is a rating system, with red 4 being the most dangerous. There are many types of warning signs. If you see one, it’s like seeing a stop sign. “Don’t go there,” Van Beek said. “The rule of thumb is if you can’t block it out by holding up your thumb you are too close.” He suggested everyone go online to SMART 911 and enter as much information as you want, which will help responders in the event of a disaster. Steve Powell is the managing editor of The Marysville Globe-The Arlington Times. He is writing a weekly series on CERT training so others can know what to do if a disaster occurs.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Who will pay?

Regarding the $100 million project in Arlington, are there any plans to expand the roadways? 2,000 new jobs will greatly increase the traffic, as well as industrial traffic with large delivery trucks and semi trucks. If so, where will the money come from? Does the projected $100 million include roadway expansions and other traffic issues? Doug Colburn, Arlington

Fire service

On Aug. 7 our home and everything we had burned to the ground, along with our precious babies (cats). How, in this day and age, when we are in-between two fire departments and other stations are close by, could this happen? We were camping at the time of the fire. When we got home, or what was left of our home (a wall), our neighbors came over and most wept with us. They told us how long it took for the fire department to get there and how upset they were. The first week after our house fire, I asked Bruce Stedman, public safety director, to arrange for a meeting, so our Smokey Point neighbors could vent their frustrations and get their side of what happened that afternoon. There was such a difference in the timeline, and they, too, are wondering where help was. I have not heard back. I also asked other questions that have gone unanswered. Such as: •How many engines are at each station? •How many fire and aid staff/ crew were there (on call) at each station that day? •Didn’t we just vote on Emergency Management Services, which we are paying taxes on right now? •And the big question is, so have you hired any “new” staff since it took effect like you said you would? I’m not talking about shuffling staff around. We have a nice new engine coming to the Smokey Point fire station that taxpayers paid for. But what is the point if you don’t have anyone to man it? And I’m not talking about a jump crew that is on aid calls and then jumps to fire. When time is vital for aid or fire, heading back to get the ladder truck makes the difference in our home and pets having a chance and nothing left. I’d like to know this will never happen to anyone else. Everyone should be concerned about not having enough staff at our fire and aid departments, especially since we were told we were covered. It could have been your house. It could have been your pets that died horrifically or worse it could have been your loved ones. We are being told by the city and fire department in this political season that all is well. But my poor home and pets are evidence that this is not the case. Maybe someday we will get that meeting

and questions answered, Paige Richards, Marysville

City fortunate

The city of Arlington and the surrounding community has been fortunate to have had Mayor Barb Tolbert at the helm for four years. Her stoic and compassionate concern brought us through the horrific disaster of the Oso landslide where she dealt with state and federal officials on a national scale. She helped many citizens with her warmth of spirit and strong, tenacious nature to resolve much of the “red tape” and get help where it was needed, and she continues to fight for disaster help. Her strong leadership has made city government run more efficiently as well as the Arlington Airport. In the first eight months of this year 84 new businesses have opened within the city limits and at the airport with the potential of 2,000-plus jobs in manufacturing, retail and services. Another 20 businesses have opened in the surrounding Arlington community and that is just for this year. For continued growth and prosperity to the Arlington area reelect Mayor Barb Tolbert. Don and Terri Munson, Arlington

Integrity lacking

I retired as finance director for Arlington in September 2014. In May Mayor Tolbert gave then City Administrator Johnson a pay increase from $150,000 to $170,000 and told the assistant finance director who processed the monthly payroll not to tell anyone. I found out after reviewing the payroll records, as I did each month. This happened just a month after taxpayers voted to approve a 42 percent increase. Tolbert did not discuss this with the City Council or get approval. The Arlington Municipal Code states that the CA’s salary is established each year in the budget. The budget for 2014 was approved using a salary of $150,000. I asked the city attorney if he was aware of this. He told me he was not. In December of 2014, the General Fund budget was up by $250,000. Only $190,000 of detail was provided in the explanation. This kind of secrecy in government absolutely should not occur. I was appointed to the newly created Salary Commission last spring. The commission was formed to review the salaries of the council and mayor to see if they are appropriate compared to other similar-sized cities. Arlington’s part-time mayor earns $1,500 per month. Council members receive $200 for each meeting they attend. The mayor and council also can receive compensation for other meetings. The commission asked the mayor and council how much extra meeting pay they received from January through June 2015. The mayor always had the maximum number of meetings (20)

while the council seldom reached their maximum of eight. It was discovered that Tolbert was inappropriately receiving extra pay for meetings with city staff, which is part of her monthly salary. The mayor was receiving up to $500 per month more than she was entitled to. The position of mayor should be one of the highest integrity and trust. The mayor does not have the power to do what she wants without the approval of the council. If the mayor is telling someone to do something and to not tell anyone, then she does not possess the integrity that I feel is essential for the position. I will be voting for Craig Christianson for mayor. I will also be voting for Marilyn Oertle, Mike Hopson and Sue Weiss for council. These people possess the integrity to make decisions that would be in the best interest of the city. Jim Chase, retired finance director, Arlington

Craig unprepared

Recently, I attended a candidates forum with approximately 75 other citizens of Arlington. It was wonderful to see people cared enough to come and listen to all sides of questions that were asked. There were some thoughtful answers that I appreciated very much. I left the meeting able to clearly decide which council candidates were receiving my vote. When it came to the 30 minutes of mayoral statements things were not so clear. It was evident that Mr. Christianson was unprepared. He brought his “people” with him that he constantly referred to, that he looked at exclusively. I heard a man in Mr. Christianson who is angry, and rather than putting that anger aside and clearly stating why he wanted to be mayor and what his plan was for the next four years, instead he chose to insinuate several times that things are not healthy at the city. Yet, when asked about the airport issues, he admitted that they predated the current administration and that the work was in process to correct every problem that a recent audit brought forth. Same thing for the economic plan, he stated that plans were already in the works to better our city. I heard a man speaking in circles with no clear plan to do anything different than what is already being and has been done for four years by Mayor Tolbert. He seemed to think that simply because he’s lived in the city all his life, he was automatically qualified to be the mayor. With the lack of passion and plan that he exuded, nothing could be further from the truth. Every complaint or negative comment that Mr. Christianson voiced was quickly refuted and proved to be incorrect. During the four years under Mayor Tolbert’s leadership, we have grown stronger. Economically, we have a great number of new businesses that are coming and will continue to come. We have

become stronger as a community after the Oso slide. There is a 10-year plan with goals to further increase our financial health, our public safety and to balance the growth of retail, manufacturing and affordable homes. Let’s continue our forward movement. Re-elect Mayor Tolbert. Vikki McMurray, Arlington

Thanks newspaper

Congratulations to the GlobeTimes staff for winning the recent journalism awards. It shows that quality newspapers still have a valuable place in the community. One other part of the newspaper that stands out is the letters to the editor section. The Globe provides space for readers to give their opinion and add to the conversation about the important issues of our world, locally and globally. There are more letters printed than many other papers, large or small. So thanks to the Globe for sharing our voices to make a difference in our world, from local politics to ending preventable deaths of mothers and children in our world. Willie Dickerson, Snohomish

Union support

Over these past several weeks union members have had the opportunity to observe and evaluate the perspectives and agendas of the various candidates in the upcoming elections. Craig Christianson is honest, pragmatic and has a hopeful insight into our community’s problems and needs, and his willingness to examine the issues and listen closely to the public’s and employee’s questions and concerns, sets him apart from the other candidate’s techniques and management style. Craig was born and raised in Arlington. He has made his life here and raised his family here. Craig is an outstanding public servant who believes in clarity of government. If it can’t be put on the front page of a newspaper there’s no place for it in city government. We have observed his dedication to Arlington as he seeks what is best for our city. He is a person of the highest integrity, and you can depend on his word. With him a handshake is as ironclad as most people’s contracts. AFSCME Council 2, Local 2849 the largest union group in Arlington, endorses Craig Christianson for mayor as his values, vision and ethics most resemble those of our membership. Monica Schlagel representing Local 2849 in Arlington

Vote for CT tax

United Way of Snohomish County is proud to urge a “Yes” vote on Proposition 1 in the Nov. 3 election. The measure provides much-needed transit investments to ensure our residents can access jobs, education and vital services. At United Way of Snohomish

County, we are committed to building strong, healthy communities. We have long recognized the role transit plays in expanding economic opportunities and protecting our quality of life. Community Transit is more popular than ever. Every day, about 40,000 people ride CT. Its ridership continues to grow, and even with every bus and every driver pushed into service, many routes are jammed to capacity. Prop. 1 would increase the sales tax by three-tenth of 1 percent to fund a package of transit improvements that would benefit the entire county. Service improvements would begin right way, including more mid-day, weekend and nighttime service, starting as early as March 2016. Extensive service would added in September 2016, after a public process identifies key priorities. Prop. 1 would cost the average adult $33 per year. We believe this an appropriate investment for the benefits we’d all enjoy, even if you never board a CT bus. To ensure we all have options that get us to work, school and other destinations, we need to meet the demand for transit with more services and greater options. We hope you will join United Way of Snohomish County and support Prop. 1. Katrina Ondracek, executive vice president

Morale is low

The morale at the city is at an all-time low, and there is a deep divide within. On one side you have a group that works hard to provide citizens the services they have come to expect. These people nobody hears from. On the other side you have management who want to improve their position by doing the mayor’s bidding as they are too afraid of losing their jobs because they are “at will” employees. There is a concentrated effort to micro-manage every department. Every decision has to go through the mayor. She is a part-time mayor who needs to let the City Council, directors and administrator do their jobs. There is undermining/bullying/and isolation of the working employees because they got tired of the treatment and stripping of their benefits and went union. The former city administrator called a meeting under false pretenses and threatened the staff that if they went union he would “wash his hands of them.” That threat was illegal, and mysteriously the videotape of that meeting disappeared. This is the same man the mayor secretly gave the enormous raise to. Yes he did take a 5 percent cut in his extravagant salary for two years, but everyone took those cuts. He walked away with a 13 percent raise just prior to retiring. The staff took many furlough days over those lean years SEE LETTERS, PAGE 6

co-workers the city laid off. These folks never recouped their losses. The poor treatment of the workers is why the biggest union in the city, AFSCME, has endorsed Craig Christianson and is also why the fire department declined the mayor’s

equaling 5 percent plus, their medical incentive was stripped and they were made to do many job duties to cover the loss of their

request for endorsement. Look at the three unfair labor practices the unions have against the city. Look at the thousands of dollars the city is paying lawyers to fight the unions for a costof-living increase like those awarded to management. Management received raises ranging from 9 percent to 23 percent, and the workers can’t even get 3 percent. The fire chief was promoted to public safety director with a $2,500 per month (23 percent) raise, and the mayor just renewed his contract. The mayor has done some fine and kind deeds, but she has not done everything she claims. Issuing 40 new business licenses doesn’t really matter if storefronts are still vacant. Let’s put Arlington back to the form of government it is designed for. Get rid of the lawyers and spend that money on working staff. Craig Christianson will make that happen. R.L.

Lakewood residents still heated about M’ville plans

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Speaking at the Marysville development meeting in Lakewood were, left to right: Chris Holland, Jeff Laycock, Jeannie Lish and Kevin Nielsen. Nielsen proposed that traffic could be alleviated at this intersection by diverting motorists further west, to the roundabout at 23rd, where they could make a quick U-turn. Nielsen also proposed connecting to 27th Avenue NE, on the west side of the shopping center, by constructing a connection between 23rd, south of 172nd, and 169th Street NE, west of 27th. Although Lakewood resi-

dents had previously asked the city to consider an overcrossing or under-crossing at the intersection of 172nd Street NE and the railroad tracks, Nielsen noted this would require a vertical clearance of 23.5 feet. Such a project would incur significant costs and impacts on surrounding property, both of which make it unlikely at this time, he said. City engineer Jeff Laycock forecast a new $6 million sewer system for the

area. Nielsen said developers would be expected to pay for the new lines, when they’re needed in 5-15 years. Planning manager Chris Holland came under fire from several attendees, who voiced their skepticism of his assertions that existing businesses and residences along 172nd Street NE wouldn’t be forced out by development. One resident said, “Not everyone wants to live in apartments,” such as the ones currently under

construction. Holland mentioned that the Tulalip Tribes had purchased the Plant Farm at Smokey Point, and agreed with calls for a local grocery store. “We’re looking to build on the existing character of this area,” said Holland, who envisions mixed-use development of ground-floor merchants with living spaces above them, as well as a network of pedestrian and bike paths to connect residential, rec-

reational and shopping areas. “It sounds to a lot of us like this is all already cut and dried,” area resident Jeannie Lish said near the end of the meeting. “I disagree,” Holland said. “Nothing has been done yet. We’re just in the draft phase now. The planning commission has yet to make its recommendations to the City Council.” For details, visit www. mar y s v i l l e w a . gov / 7 0 5 / Lakewood-Subarea-Plan.

LAKEWOOD — “It’s like déjà vu all over again,” one Lakewood resident quipped, as Marysville officials conducted their second Lakewood Master Plan meeting at Lakewood Middle School. While the Oct. 21 meeting was more subdued and sparsely attended than the first meeting in March, its attendees were no less concerned with the fate of their neighborhoods. Addressing the work being done on 172nd Street NE, public works director Kevin Nielsen reported that the intersection with 23rd Avenue NE would be the site of a new roundabout. Although Nielsen was initially skeptical of roundabouts, he’s since become a believer in that capacity to handle traffic and alleviate choke-points. Nielsen cited the 27th Avenue NE intersection as one such choke-point, since motorists heading onto 172nd westbound off I-5 southbound have to cut across several lanes of traffic if they want to go south on 27th, to enter the Lakewood Crossing Shopping Center.

Marysville provides state of schools report BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Marysville School District Superintendent Becky Berg gave her version of the State of the Union to the school board Oct. 19. In her annual report, Berg said her staff “did not skip a beat” when it came to goals last year, even though they spent hundreds of hours dealing with the MarysvillePilhuck shooting and its aftermath. “It was amazing heavy lifting they did,” Berg said. She said the district is made up of tremendous diversity, adding families

speak 49 different languages and 44.5 percent of students are not white. “It’s quite a mixture of cultures. We’re no longer a farming community,” she said. Berg said poverty is an issue, as 46 percent of students are on free or reduced lunch. “So if their parents don’t show up it’s not because they don’t care about their children,” she said. “It’s because they’re exhausted working two or three jobs.” Chief Technology Director Scott Beebe said teachers are “charging ahead” using new technology. Service available on Hondas, Yamahas & most other makes!

“The transition is challenging, but they are starting to teach using the devices,” Beebe said. Berg said the district didn’t want to wait until everything was perfect before students and staff received the Chromebooks. School board member Pete Lundberg said it’s better to learn by mistakes anyway. “We encourage teachers to take risks and celebrate failures as well as successes,” Beebe said. Berg said of teachers: “It’s a heavy burden, and they’ve been given no time to do it.” Of their acceptance of the challenge, union president

Randy Davis said, “It’s all across the board. It will take patience.” Beebe said old technology is being phased out as it is slowing down the entire system. In other news: •Public comments are being sought online regarding $210 million in bonds for new schools. To participate in the survey go to: msvl.thoughtexchange. com/invitation by Oct. 27. •Chief Academic Officer Cinco Delgado kept track of student achievement, positive behavior and STAR assessments.

He also worked on closing the Achievement Gap and help bring tribal curriculum to the district. •Special education brought in $40,000 more than the previous year in grants. It also is having weekly trainings and continues to place students in their least-restrictive environment. •Berg noted that $700,000 was put into reserve funds. •Human Resources reorganized to be more efficient.

Volunteers from all over help with M’ville food drive MARYSVILLE – Volunteers from several organizations will kick off the Marysville All City Food Drive Nov. 7 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. The effort collects donations of money, food and unused toys for neighbors in need. Volunteers from Kiwanis, Lakewood High School leadership students, Girl and Boy Scouts, city of Marysville employees,

Soroptimists, HomeStreet Bank employees, ROTC, 11U MBA Hawks Baseball Club, Marysville Fire District and local youth groups will be collecting donations at various local grocers and retail stores. “You can make a real difference in lives of children and families knowing that your donations and gifts will go directly to families in

the community,” food bank director Dell Deierling said. He added that food and financial donations are down this year, while the number of families coming to the food bank is only down marginally. Deierling also said that one out of 10 Marysville-Tulalip residents uses the food bank at least once throughout the year.

Rather than renewing it in six years, North County Fire/EMS, also known as North County Regional Fire Authority, is asking voters to renew the Emergency Medical Services levy indefinitely on Nov. 3. If renewed, the levy would continue funding EMS at 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. Fire Chief John Cermak noted the levy accounts for about 20 percent of the budget. “Without it, we would have to lay off up to eight firefighters, which would result in longer response

times and no more (24hour) emergency response,” Cermak said. He will conduct a public meeting from noon to 1 p.m. Oct. 26 at Kackman Station 90 at 3002 252nd St. NE in Arlington. Cermak explained that the fire authority provides fire and EMS to approximately 25,000 people over 107 square miles, with EMS accounting for nearly 75 percent of calls in 2014. “That degree of need is not going away,” Cermak said. “As the public gets more educated about health, and looks after their diets, and receives more access to more advanced medicine, the average population is going

to live longer and grow older, which is going to make EMS that much more important.” By asking voters to remove the levy expiration date, the authority hopes to stabilize funding. Each election costs $22,500, money that could go to equipment. The levy renewal would continue to cost the average homeowner approximately $8.33 per month, or $100 per year, and would pay for basic and advanced life support services, personnel, training and certifications, ambulances, maintenance, equipment and supplies.

Marysville Getchell junior Collin Montez primarily plays running back, but also plays middle linebacker and occasionally quarterback.

Getchell’s Montez keeps trucking for yards

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

MARYSVILLE — Hurt or not, Marysville Getchell junior running back Collin Montez keeps trucking. In his last game, Montez rushed for 134 yards and scored a touchdown leading the Chargers to a 31-12 win over Everett Oct 16. As a result, he is the Marysville Globe-Arlington Times Athlete of the Week. “I do what I’m told and go as hard as I can every play,” Montez said.

That focus has got him to rush for 532 all-purpose yards this season, playing primarily as running back but also middle linebacker, punt and kick returner and occasionally as quarterback. Last season, he led the league in the rushing with more than 2,000 yards. MG coach Davis Lura expected those yards to be at about 1,000 this year had it not been for his injury in week two against Arlington. “When it first happened he had tears in his eyes so I

knew it was hurting,” Lura said. “And he still wanted to play. The games he was missing were very frustrating for him.” Montez is big, strong and fast. At 6-foot-2 and 205 pounds he is ideal at his position to deliver a heavy blow as a running back. “He can lay a hit on the defense without him taking the blow — gets him extra yards,” Lura said. With his ankle not hurting anymore, he feels confident in helping his team

finish the season strong. “Our goal now is to not lose another game,” Montez said. “And to do that we need to practice hard and do our job.” “As an individual in the game he will get the yards but also builds confidence for our players,” Lura said. “He’s a great leader.” He also stars on MG’s baseball and basketball team — a rare three-spot letterman in today’s high school sports world. Montez has an “uncanny”

football ability and “IQ” that allows him to be a versatile player, Lura said. In one instance, Montez had to step in to play quarterback in MG’s first game against Auburn Riverside because starter Taylor Koellmer was injured. MG won that game 29-26 Sept. 4. Taylor’s younger brother, Caleb — a freshman — now starts as quarterback. “[Caleb] was just learning the offense so he didn’t start the first couple of games,” Montez said. “Now he’s get-

ting it and doing a good job.” Though he is getting invites from NCAA Division I schools, Montez doesn’t have a preference on a school yet. Lura thinks he can play baseball, football and basketball at the college level. He can throw a 90 mph fastball, and is athletic enough to play basketball, Lura said. Like all sports, it requires “discipline, giving it your 100 percent and going hard,” Montez said.

Property tax increase debated

By George, I think he’s got art award BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — When George Boulton first came to town, the chamber of commerce assigned him to the beautification committee because he was the new florist. Nearly 50 years later, the Arlington Arts Council has honored Boulton as the Art Advocate of 2015. While the AAC cited Boulton’s role in supporting the arts in Arlington since the council began its efforts with the city’s centennial in 2003, members also recalled his other contributions. “He never failed providing donations to all of our causes,” council president Sarah Arney said, including the grand piano that Boulton’s family donated to the Byrnes Performing Arts Center at Arlington High School. “That was quite some time ago now, but the council still benefits from the piano with each concert presented at the performing arts center.” The arts council is but one of many organizations supported by Boulton

over the years, with others including the Arlington Kiwanis Club and Dollars For Scholars. “When a community supports a business in town as much as Arlington has supported my family, how can I not give back?” Boulton said. Boulton started Flowers By George in downtown Arlington in 1968. He’s since handed the business over to his son, David, but he can still be found frequently in his closet office at the store. Arney credited him with playing an instrumental role in forming the city’s annual Frontier Days summer festival in the early 1970s, as well as Arlington’s Grand Parade on the Fourth of July, Rotary’s Great Stilly Duck Dash and the Arlington Street Fair, scheduled to coincide with the Arlington Fly-In. Boulton was also a founding member of the Arlington Business Community Development Association, to help make downtown Arlington an attractive business community. “It was a wonderful plan,”

George Boulton Boulton said. “Our ultimate goal was to generate new retailers in town, while helping to improve existing ones. We wanted this community to be valued. It’s still under-capitalized.” Boulton likewise credited the beautification committee he was part of with helping establish a tastefully uniform look for many of Arlington’s storefronts that can still be seen today. But much of his highest praise was reserved for the AAC. “They’ve just done terrific stuff,” Boulton said. “The gateway signs heading into town are all different and all beautiful, and the murals around town are outstanding.” “We are lucky to have George’s ongoing support of the arts through the years,” council board member Virginia Hatch said.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council expressed reservations Oct. 19 about whether to accept a staff recommendation that the city not increase property taxes for 2016. The city is allowed to increase its property taxes by either 1 percent or by the rate of inflation. For 2016, the inflation rate is set at 0.251 percent. This is only the third time since 1998 that the inflation rate has fallen below 1 percent. Finance director Kristin Garcia recommended not only that the general fund property tax be increased by zero, but also that the city preserve its capacity to take a banked 1 percent increase in the future. By contrast, Garcia proposed that the city take a 1 percent increase on the Emergency Medical Services property tax levy. The council would need to declare “substantial need,” both to bank its 1 percent capacity for the general fund and to exceed the inflation rate of 0.251 percent for the EMS levy.

“It’s not like we’re rolling around in money here. As long as we’re funding things efficiently, I don’t see why it can’t be done.” Debora Nelson, council member “A statement of substantial need, is that a challenge to draft?” council member Austin DeFreece III asked. “No, it’s entirely up to the council to decide,” Garcia said. “There’s no test to it.” Council member Jesica Stickles wondered whether banking the general fund increase for 2016 would allow the council to increase it by 2 percent the following year. Garcia confirmed that this was the case, and even agreed with council member Chris Raezer’s assessment that the compounded interest could allow for an increase of potentially more than 2 percent. When Raezer and council member Debora Nelson asked why the city shouldn’t take at least an increase of 0.251 percent for the general fund, city administrator Paul Ellis reminded them of the recent increase in property taxes due to the levy

lid lift. “We have several departments in need here,” Raezer said. “It’s not like we’re rolling around in money here,” Nelson said. “As long as we’re funding things efficiently and thinking prudently, I don’t see why it can’t be done.” Council member Jan Schuette echoed their assessments, asserting that a property tax increase of 0.251 percent would not be that much when distributed among individual property owners. Garcia and Ellis agreed to present alternative versions of the budget during the council’s Oct. 26 workshop. The council is slated to vote on the budget Nov. 2. Because hearings on the budget and property taxes were conducted Oct. 19, no further hearings are required.

MMS tries to get students to want to come to school BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Marysville Middle School is trying to change its culture so students want to be there. That’s what Principal Angela Hansen and some staff told the school board Oct. 19. They said they are creating a safer learning environment, and suspension rates are way down. One of the things being done is creating a comfortable commons area for students to hang out together at lunch. Last Friday, on a day off from school, 60 students came in anyway to help paint the area, along with five staff. In the area are some bean bag chairs and a big-screen TV. Movies, like the “Toy Story” series, are being played this week. In the future, Hanson wants students to be able to play video games there, too.

Eventually she wants music piped in during lunch. She hopes by students hanging out together more and having fun, they will find they have more things in common, and there will be fewer disciplinary issues. “It’s student created and student owned,” teacher Che-Mai Gray said. “The kids take care of the space,” even cleaning up afterward. Also, the school is rewarding positive behavior and attendance. This year, two-thirds of students have not missed a day. The office is calling and sending letters to parents, reminding them of the importance of school attendance. Teacher Laura Maaradji said they look for “The story behind the kids.” Some live with chronic pain. Others face anxiety. The staff has identified students who struggle going to school.

“They’re being flexible and thoughtful, and their working their bahoogies off.”

Students hang out in “their” new area with a big-screen TV. When they are there, teachers make sure to say, “I’m glad you’re here,” she said. Some teachers and students talked about things going on in the classroom. Teachers Travis Hammond and Jenny Trevitt talked about how stories are used to get students interested in words,

their meanings and sentence structure. Students David Hanson, Selena Morales and Anthony Sanchez explained the MMS code. Morales said they Model respect by doing things like using good language. She said last year bad language was common. Sanchez said they Make

good decisions, by not rushing when eating for example. And Hanson said they Solve problems, like not bullying each other. Teachers Mike Cull and Bary Gould talked about their Advancement Via Individual Determination classes. Twins Mohamed and Amir Aldowairi said AVID has helped them. Mohamed said coming up with 30-second speeches helped him become more comfortable with them. “I had mediocre grades until AVID,” he said.

Amir said repetition was key for him learning. “Before I was shy, but now I’m more open,” he said. Hansen also said special education is a focus because it did not meet those students’ learning needs previously. She said general education, paraeducators and a resource room should improve those efforts. Vice Principal Dan Alderson said teachers are happy overall with Chromebooks for students, but professional development is going to help. He also said MMS is having Parents Nights Nov. 3-5 to inform them what’s going on. “They’re being flexible and thoughtful, and they’re working their bahoogies off,” Alderson said of the teachers and technology. “There will be roadblocks ahead, but we’ll just get back up.”

Man reportedly shoots son in domestic dispute

MARYSVILLE – A 30-year-old son allegedly shot by his 64-yearold father Oct. 16 was in “grave and life-threatening” condition, a police report says. The dad, identified as Gordon Ayers of Tulalip, reportedly shot the son twice in the chest after a family argument. “My father shot me. My father is Gordon. My father tried to kill me?” the victim allegedly told a

deputy, as reported in probably cause papers. Detective Tedd Betts reported that in his experience, without immediate proper medical treatment, that kind of injury could be fatal. The son was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett and was too unstable medically to be moved to Harborview Medical Center in

Seattle for emergency higher-level trauma care, the report says. Hilary Ayers, the wife and mother, said her husband was excited about a family gathering that day but had been acting out of character lately. They have been married 42 years. Earlier that night, another son, Andrew, confronted Ayers about his behavior. The pair argued, and the dad told the son to leave,

which he did. No drugs or alcohol were present, police said. Later, Hilary asked Ayers if she could call 9-1-1 because she was concerned about him. That enraged Ayers, who told his wife to be gone in the morning. She decided not to wait and started to pack. That’s when she heard Ayers and the victim scuffling in the next room. She then heard the

bolt action of a rifle and later gunshots. She fled and called 9-1-1. The incident occurred at around 10 p.m. in the 2800 block of 72nd St. NE. During questioning, the detective noted dried red stains on Ayers’ pants and hands. Ayers was booked into the Snohomish County jail in Everett for suspicion of first-degree domestic violence assault with a weapon.

Karmin Kipper of Design Matrix said the 30-year Marysville company made 2,000 shirts in about five hours for students, faculty and volunteers to wear in today’s Walk of Strength at MarysvillePilchuck High School. The t-shirts were designed by the students. They are available for purchase at www.mpmemorial.org. Clockwise from top left, red ink is placed on the shirts, and later they come out the dryer. Abby Fernandez folds the shirts once they are dry. To start the process, Luis Ramirez carefully places the shirts on a carousel that takes each one through the coloring procedure.
