Students speak out

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – High school students usually do a lot of listening, but they did most of the talking in a meeting with the Marysville School Board Jan. 19. Thirteen students from Marysville high schools took part. Board president Pete Lundberg asked them not to hold back. “We want you to be honest and speak the

truth,” he said. “That’s what we need to hear.” Superintendent Becky Berg added, “You are here because we want to hear from you.” The meeting is part of a series the board is having in an effort to “listen to the people we represent,” Lundberg said. They met with civic groups last week and will meet with parents next week. The students were asked what they like about school.

Cyrus Wi l l i a m s of Arts and Tech said he liked that the board and school Williams administrators want to hear the student perspective. At his school, there is the “teacher connection that shows they care.” SEE SPEAK, PAGE 2

Hirashima said the idea actually came from a local pastor, and the city stepped in to help get it going. Organizers got the Everett Gospel Mission involved, since they are the local experts on the topic of homelessness. They want to model it after the Lydia

In an attempt to make more balanced and safer leagues, plus a better playoff system, Northwest high school athletic directors are seeking to implement footballspecific leagues. The plan calls for combining the football teams from the Northwest Conference, the Cascade Conference and the Wesco 4A and 3A into five classificationspecific leagues. While unofficial, the unnamed leagues are all but a certainty, with the athletic directors hoping to finalize schedules by next month. Lakewood’s 2A Coach Dan Teeter is glad the leagues are thinking of safety. In one instance last season, Lakewood had to play three games in nine days. “To me that doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s not in the best interest of the kids,” Teeter said. Under the plan, all of Snohomish County’s football leagues will undergo at least a slight change. In 3A, the Wesco North will add Ferndale and Squalicum to go along with Arlington, Marysville SEE FOOTBALL, PAGE 9

SPEAK FROM Page 1 Jared Greenleaf of Mountain View said teachers treat students like adults. “We get so much more done,” he said. Trevor Ashley of Marysville Getchell said he likes the Advanced Placement classes and that there is “little bullying.” Jaylin Rivera of Tulalip Heritage said she likes the sports. “We all get pumped,” she added. The students also were asked what they would like

to see improve in schools. Greenleaf said cut down on state testing. “No one likes doing all the tests,” he said. He added that because he goes to a small school, they receive a basic education, but he’d like more opportunities. “I wish there were a lot more options,” he said. Veronica Johnson of A and T said the student store has had to cut back on what it sells, which means less money. She also said the school needs a marketing class. Williams said when he

was a freshman the school had psychology but it was only for upper classmen. Now that he’s old enough, the class was taken away when the teacher left. “There are classes we want to take,” he said, adding the number of foreign languages offered is limited. Keller Kahl said it’s ironic that at A and T there are not many arts or technology classes. Jessica Iglesias of MG said it is hard to pick an academy there. “In eighth grade you don’t know what you want to do,”

she said, adding she wishes students could cross over more into other academies. “We want to branch out and see what there is.” Ashley said because they have to choose an academy, “It limits discovering the passion you have.” He also said he doesn’t like taking tests online because some people can’t type very fast. Ashley also said he thinks all students should be held to the same standard. For example, he said if students go to a party they should all be reprimanded the same way. Courtney Stevens of MG said having the different academies makes it hard to get to know everyone. “It hurts the school spirit,” she said. “It’s hard to come together as one.” Alisha Purdom of Marysville-Pilchuck said there is a “bad vibe this year,” and they would like some help developing “better school culture.” She said there were some huge issues during Homecoming, and they tried to talk out the problems but it didn’t work. Bailey Nelson agreed, saying the school could use some help with cliques. Students then were asked about technology in school. The consensus was that Chromebook computers have helped in many ways,

but there also have been issues. Some students don’t “take them to school on purpose,” Stevens said. Others forget them or don’t charge them so the battery goes dead, Mikaylee Pablo of Heritage said. Selma Marin of MV said people who don’t use them correctly cause distractions. Alexis Harmon of MG said many “teachers don’t know what to do with them.” Nelson agreed that some “teachers are clueless.” Purdom said not all teachers have received training, so that will help, but she sees lack of curriculum as an issue. But she also said Chromebook provides new tools for students to collaborate more, and gives access to computers to some who may not have them. “A lot more people have access,” Ashley added. Iglesias said, “I use it in almost every class I’m in now.” At the end of the meeting, the students exchanged contacts with the hope of including all of the high schools in some future activities. “Thanks for keeping it real,” Berg said. She said later that the event went well. “Whenever we can listen

to the voice of students we are better connected to the classroom, and our ultimate purpose in this work,” she said.

Drug talks

ARLINGTON — U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen met with representatives of the Arlington Drug Awareness Coalition at Haller Middle School Jan. 20. Larsen met with Arlington police officers Rory Bolter, Curtis Hirotaka and school resource officer Stephanie Ambrose. Bolter had already worked with Larsen in curbing the meth epidemic, and deemed those efforts successful enough that he estimated he hadn’t gone on a meth lab bust in at least four years. “We learned a lot from that work,” Bolter said. “You can reduce or even eliminate drug use through raising awareness, focusing on prevention and offering rehabilitation. It’s not just about cutting the supply, but addressing the demand.” “What we really want is to be able to pick somebody up, who’s addicted to drugs, and take them right to treatment,” Bolter said. “No waiting one or three days, long enough for them to change their minds, just boom, right into it.”

Memorial honors ‘The Sign Guy’

Kirk Boxleitner /Staff Photo

Gary Haga used to walk all over Mar ysv ille with a sandwich board sign praising Jesus. He died of cancer Dec. 13. But at his memorial Jan. 16 people came and talked about how much he meant to them, even though they only knew him from his walks with the signs. Pastor Craig Laughlin said the Nazarene c hu rc h’s Facebook site had 68,000 hits connected to entries about Haga.

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — If you’re curious about the impact that James “Gary” Haga had on his community, you need only ask those who knew him, and even many who didn’t. As Dusty Leavitt wrote on the Marysville Church of the Nazarene’s Facebook thread about Haga’s death, “I didn’t know him personally, but my family and I always loved to see his smiling face walking the streets. We always waved and smiled back at him, as if we had known him forever.” Shannon Curtis replied: “He would always talk to me and my children while we were on our morning walk/run! We will miss seeing him, and he was such a great testimony.” As Pastor Craig Laughlin read these online comments aloud, he credited Haga with living up to the example set by his savior. “You’ll see all sorts of stories from people who didn’t know him, but he stopped to

pray with them,” Laughlin said. “That was something Jesus did, was make everyone feel important.” During the church’s Jan. 16 celebration of life ceremony for Haga, who died of cancer Dec. 13 of last year, Laughlin and fellow Pastor Dennis Howell solicited testimony from Haga’s family and friends. Also speaking were those who simply saw and met him on the streets of Marysville the past four years, during his walks as “The Sign Guy,” wearing sandwich boards that evangelized on behalf of Jesus. “I knew Gary was popular in the community, so I could tell that his passing would have a big impact,” Laughlin said. He hadn’t expected his church’s Facebook post on Haga to receive more than 200 comments, nearly 800 shares and 1,000 likes, and close to 68,000 hits. “That’s more people than we have in this community. It goes to show that Gary was a super high-impact person.” Mark Epstein wrote that, “When I asked [Haga] if he would pray for our three

boys, he quickly pulled out a pad and pen and asked, ‘Tell me their names.’” “Never knew his name, waved to him nearly daily, touched my heart always,” Kristin Hager-Cook wrote. “Gary, you are the best in all of us!” Jennifer Bower, Haga’s youngest daughter, thanked the community on behalf of his family. “Dad touched so many of you, and that really helped him toward the end,” Bower said. “You were there for him when he really needed it.” “The folks Gary talked to weren’t always receptive,” said Ralph Woodall, a friend and fellow hot rod enthusiast of Haga. “If you can get one out of a hundred folks, I figure you’re doing great. Gary got a lot more than that.” Glenn Beers recalled walking with Haga to Planned Parenthood in Marysville, “to witness the power of God and the

blessings of life.” Laughlin emphasized that Haga’s way of witnessing was not about “beating people up or cursing them for their sins,” but about loving them. Tom Winter, another friend of Haga’s, credited his passion with giving him the strength to go on as long as he did. “He was dying of cancer, and I asked him, ‘How are you still walking?’” Winter said. “Gary said, ‘I don’t know. My nurse and my doctor say I shouldn’t be able to do it, and my wife says I shouldn’t do it.’ I told him, ‘That must mean God’s not done with you yet.’” Indeed, after his diagnosis, Haga’s most pressing concern was continuing to give witness for as long as he could. “Gary was a naturally quiet person, not extroverted at all, so for him to do this took amazing courage,” Laughlin said. “If you didn’t know Christ, you could see him in Gary.”

LETTERS TO EDITOR It’s not a new tax

I am writing this letter to urge the voters in the Arlington School District to vote “yes” on the upcoming renewal of the Educational Programs and Operations Levy. This levy is not a new tax, but a renewal of the existing tax that we all have paid over the last several years. Rest assured, our real estate taxes will not be increased by the renewal of this levy. As a member of this community for over 25 years, as well as a volunteer coach, I believe it is our paramount duty to reinvest in our children’s future. These are ever-changing times, and our educational system must keep up with the changes in order for our children to succeed. The renewal of the levy will ensure that our children continue receiving the high-quality education that district prides itself on. In addition, the renewal of the expiring levy will guarantee that the programs that our children rely on will continue. These programs include technology, teaching materials/curriculum, academic support, transportation, special education and extra-curricular activities (i.e., athletics, robotics, arts and other activities). Voters in Arlington have a great history of showing support for our school district. When your Feb. 9 ballot arrives in your mailbox this week, please join me in voting “yes” so that this tradition continues. Dennis Modahl, Arlington

Vote ‘Yes’ on levy

It is with eager anticipation that I write this letter to my fellow community members urging them to vote “yes” and renew the expiring Educational Programs and Operations Levy on Feb. 9. Our students are our future. As a parent of three children in the Arlington School District, I have experienced the exceptional educational opportunities and athletic programs offered over the past 10 years my family has lived here. We came to Arlington because of the “smallness” of the environment and how personal it felt. We stay for the educational experience that our children receive-the teachers, the programs, and also the support and engagement from the community. Even people who haven’t had children in schools for years still come out to support our schools. This levy is not a new tax, but a renewal of a current tax expiring at the end of 2016. These levy funds make up 28 percent of the district’s general fund. It is essential to the education of this generation and those to come that we support this. Passing this renewal fights back the cuts our schools have experienced over the years by legislators, who continue to be in noncompliance and violate their constitutional “paramount duty” to amply fund the education of all K-12 students. Arlington has an incredible number of long-term residents who have raised their families and taken advantage of the outstanding education offered in Arlington schools. Every voter should want young families to have the same opportunity to raise a family and get the best education possible. Remember to vote on Feb. 9. And support the students and families of our great city by renewing the levy. Virginia Muniz, Arlington

What about seniors?

The Stillaguamish Athletic Club no longer accepts Silver Sneakers. They turned their backs on seniors; they don’t care about your physical exercise. All other physical exercise facilities in the area take Silver Sneakers. It’s what’s wrong with America-greed and money. I find this to be very disappointing and sad. Les Pederson, Arlington

MLK challenge more than race equality Great leaders do more than give great speeches. They inspire hope and challenge us to set aside our fears, expand our thinking and consider a future that is radically different than anything we experienced in the past. For our founding fathers, it was liberty and democracy. For Abraham Lincoln, it was unity. One hundred years later, Martin Luther King Jr. challenged us to consider equality. Every year around this time, I read his “I Have a Dream” speech and often take notice of a different section. This year, it was about cashing checks: …”In a sense, we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir…” …”But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check—a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice”… The equality that King challenged us to consider was, in many ways, a simpler message then than it is now. He asked if we could imagine a future where blacks and whites could coexist, not just in the same coun-

try but in the same towns, as neighbors, colleagues, equals and even friends. Somehow, in a country founded on the principal of all men being created equal, this had alluded us for 187 years. Wit h out taking a w a y from the incredible Lee progress we have made in this regard, in many ways it alludes. We no longer view equality only in terms of black and white. Today we seek equity in the areas of gender, religion, lifestyles, and, of course, access to education, to name a few. The challenge is greater than it was in the past, but the message is the same. Can we set aside our fears, expand our thinking, and consider a future that is radically different than anything we experienced in the past? Those of us in the education profession have historically found it difficult to take an unfiltered look at our practices and begin asking some hard questions. We must ask if the access to a high-quality education is equal for boys and girls, rich and poor, rural and urban, regardless of the child’s race or religion. As in so many other areas of equality and civil rights, I believe the honest answer is that while we have made incredible progress, we still have a long way to go. Discipline rates for

minority students are still much higher than those of whites. Graduation rates for white students are almost a-third higher than those of black and Hispanic kids. An honest look at school funding, not necessarily in terms of race but region, shows that not all areas are equal. Some of these disparities are issues of policy and in many ways out of our control, but others are not. This year, while I reflect on achievements that our country has made in areas of equality in response to the challenges of Martin Luther King, I find myself pondering something else. Every year, when parents enroll their children into kindergarten, we are essentially writing them a check, a

promissory note guaranteeing that their child, regardless of sex, race, religion, or station in life, will have access to an education that will prepare them to compete in the workplace of the future. Twelve years later, as adults, those students will cash that check, and expect there to be sufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. We can all say this is our desire for our own children. The question that remains is how will we as educators respond to this challenge? Let’s not wait another 100 years to find out.

Fireworks: Independence or inconvenience ?

This may surprise many of you, but I am not a huge fan of fireworks. But I am a huge fan of this country and our rights people have fought and died for. I don’t like the big booms that shake my house. I don’t like picking up litter in my yard. But to me it is a small sacrifice to pay one day a year to allow people to celebrate our country’s freedoms. To me it comes down to independence or inconvenience. Many of you are probably tired of me writing about fireworks. Aren’t there more-important issues to write about? Yes there are. Drugs are a

huge problem here. And we just wrote about how hard it is to prosecute those cases. But drugs are a big problem almost everywhere. That and other problems such as homelessness, mental illness, dropouts and so many more are issues nationwide that obviously will be hard to solve. But fireworks is an issue we can solve at the local level by working together. This isn’t Democrats vs. Republicans at a loggerhead at the federal level. It isn’t the legislature trying to figure out funding for schools at the state level. This is neighbor working with and respecting

neighbor. It doesn’t have to be my way or the hig hway. The great t h i n g Powell about our form of government is that everyone can have a say and compromises can be made. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Supporters of a ban say they won a recent vote 60 percent to 40 percent. But that was supposed to be advisory only. If it was going to be binding the city should have been upfront about that.

Many people didn’t take it seriously because it was “advisory.” There probably would have been a larger turnout and closer vote if the measure was binding. Also, that vote only gave two options-a ban or not. Why aren’t other choices being discussed? Everyone for a ban has one reason or another why they want one. But they may back off if those reasons were addressed in a new law. Such as: •Limit more the types of fireworks. •Limit more the hours they can be set off. •Limit more when fire-

works can be sold. Government should limit things and pass laws to keep us safe. But there is no pressing reason to ban fireworks now. Actually, this community did an amazing job last Fourth of July. There was a real danger because of the hot, dry weather, and yet problems associated with fireworks were lower than they have been in years. Government is supposed to be of the people, for the people, by the people. It needs to be responsive to all citizens-not just the majority. So often government looks out for the minority opinion, respects it and

sometimes applauds it. But that is not happening so far when it comes to fireworks. It is frustrating to not have a voice at the federal level. It’s a little better, but not much, at the state level. But the local level is where citizens still have a voice and can fight City Hall. I urge all of you not to look at fireworks only as a ban-or-not issue. Think out the box and work together to come up with a solution that everyone can live with. And attend Monday’s meeting at 7 p.m. to voice support for a compromise. Steve Powell is the managing editor of The Marysville Globe-The Arlington Times.

Arlington’s popular Republican Koster set to run for state office again By Jerry Cornfield Herald Columnist

John Koster is done thinking about running for a seat in the state Legislature. He’s doing it. Wednesday the Arlington Republican announced he will seek the seat in the 39th Legislative District. Rep. Elizabeth Scott, R-Monroe, is forgoing re-election to run for Congress. A victory would return Koster to Olympia, where his lawmaking career began two decades ago. Koster said the reason he’s running is no different than it was before. “I

want to serve. I feel like it’s a calling, a call to duty,” he said. The former dairy farmer said the issues he’ll tackle aren’t much different either: prioritize spending, erase burdensome regulations and restore accountability. While his motivation and agenda are unchanged, the 64-year-old social and fiscal conservative said he’s not the same guy that won a seat in the state House of Representatives in 1994. With six years in Olympia and 12 years as a Snohomish County councilman he’s gained a clearer understand-

ing of how decisions made in the state Capitol affect those entrusted with steering local governments. “With age comes a little experience, and a little wisdom, and the ability to navigate issues,” he said. “And as someone that has conservative credentials and can get along with people on both sides, I think I can help bring people together.” Koster’s announcement didn’t surprise Democrats. “We’ve known for some time now and with great certainty that Koster was going to run,” Richard Wright,

chairman of the Snohomish County Democratic Party, wrote in an email. Koster is arguably the bestknown and most-popular Republican in Snohomish County. In the Legislature he carried the torch for the party’s conservative voices and around the state. Koster then spent three terms on the county coun-

cil after which he joined the administration of former County Executive John Lovick in 2014. He served as the county’s first ombudsman but didn’t get re-appointed amid concerns about his penning of an anti-union fund raising letter for the Freedom Foundation, a conservative think tank led by a former Koster campaign advisor. Koster has filed a

claim for wrongful termination. Along the way, Koster lost three races for Congress. The last, in 2012, sapped him, and he took a break from the rigors of seeking political office. No Democrat has entered the race, but Koster doesn’t expect to go unchallenged. “I don’t relish getting into campaigns,” he confided. “But once I’m in, I’m all in.”

Retrial delayed in 2002 murder of Marysville teen By Scott North Herald Writer

EVERETT — A June trial is scheduled for the only defendant to successfully appeal his conviction and life sentence in the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Rachel Burkheimer. John Alan Whitaker appeared briefly in Snohomish County Superior Court on Thursday for a hearing on the status of his retrial in the 18-year-old’s death. Lawyers on both sides of the case told Judge Linda Krese they need more time to prepare. Whitaker’s trial was rescheduled from March to June.

The defendant will remain behind bars while awaiting trial. A decade and a half ago, he was part of a group that called itself the “Northwest Mafia.” They specialized in home-invasion robberies of Snohomish County drug dealers and adopted nicknames in a homage to the fictional thugs in Quentin Tarantino’s violent crime thriller “Reservoir Dogs.” One member of the group, Burkheimer’s jealous ex-boyfriend, John Phillip “Diggy” Anderson, decided she needed to die. He lured her to a south Everett duplex where she was bound and beaten. Later, she was stuffed into a

duffle bag and driven to the hills outside Sultan. Her killers dug a grave. Anderson shot her. The group’s members turned on each other once detectives began investigating the Marysville teen’s disappearance. Investigators were led to her grave. Most of the eight involved in the crime cut deals, exchanging testimony against codefendants in exchange for lighter punishment. Anderson and Whitaker both went to trial and were convicted of aggravated murder. They received life sentences. Jurors in the earlier trial were told how Whitaker had helped bind Burkheimer, how he’d robbed

her and helped dig her grave. His conviction was upheld on appeal in 2006, but a ruling in a separate case opened the door for him to seek another trial. During Whitaker’s 2004 trial, the courtroom was briefly closed to spectators while six prospective jurors were questioned individually about their ability to hear evidence in the case. Whitaker’s attorneys successfully argued that breach deprived their client a public trial. There are challenges in preparing for the new trial, one of Whitaker’s attorneys, Cooper Offenbecher, of Seattle, told the

judge. Among other things, it has been difficult arranging interviews with Whitaker’s former associates. Many of them are in prisons around Washington and some have since retained lawyers of their own, he told the judge. The passage of time also has been a complication, deputy prosecutor Edirin Okoloko said. A forensic scientist who testified in the earlier trials has since died. On Thursday, the prosecutor got the judge’s permission to submit evidence he’d earlier tested to a fresh examination by another expert. The trial is expected to take up to five weeks.

Kids help out on MLK Day BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Many people may have a hard time answering that question. But not the dozens of Marysville School District students who volunteered to help others on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Most of the local volunteers were at Jennings Memorial Park. Christmas trees collected by Boy Scouts were chopped into mulch, which the volunteers spread over trails so weeds wouldn’t grow in the paths. Dania Vasquez, a junior at Marysville Getchell High School,

Students from all over Marysville performed community service on MLK Day.

FOOTBALL FROM 1 Getchell, MarysvillePilchuck, Oak Harbor and Stanwood. The 2A league will be made up of Lakewood, Anacortes, Archbishop Murphy, Bellingham, Blaine, Burlington-Edison, Cedarcrest, Granite Falls, Lynden, Mountlake Terrace, Sedro-Woolley and Sehome. “I think when we were sitting around the table the onus was, listen, if we keep matching up 1As against big 2As, football is going to go away at a lot of places,” Archbishop Murphy athletic director Erick Streelman said. “We don’t want anyone to get beat up.” Adjustments will

WOMEN FROM Page 1 that the Marysville facility would be nothing like a halfway house, or the mission. Instead, it would provide longer-term housing for women out of recovery who could hold down jobs, but could not afford permanent housing yet. “It’s a bridge to re-enter society,” Nehring said. “If they relapsed we wouldn’t throw them back out on the street, but they would go back to the mission.” He mentioned that the Snohomish house has had few remissions.

has been volunteering on MLK Day for three years. She enjoys volunteering anyway, such as at her church and the YMCA, but MLK Day isn’t just a day off from school for her. “He taught equality and to give back,” she said. “Instead of staying at home we should help those in need, especially on this day.” About 250 students countywide were expected to participate. Marking its seventh

year in Snohomish County, the MLK Day of Service brings high school students and community volunteers together to serve the most vulnerable. Oscar Bello, a ninthgrader, was building up a sweat on a cool day actually running with a wheelbarrow full of mulch from one end of a field and emptying it at another. He works for his uncle sometimes doing landscaping.

“If you don’t like this kind of work you better do good in school,” Oscar quoted his uncle as saying. Oscar also said he was taught to be thankful for having work to do and to be thankful for those you work with. Oscar said volunteering was much better than staying home playing games. “That doesn’t give you stuff to learn about life,” he said.

make the 3A North and South have seven teams each. Currently it is six for the 3A North and seven in the 3A South. In the playoffs, the Wesco 3A North and South each get three berths, with the possibility of a seventh that would be shared between them. If the seventh spot becomes a reality, the fourth-place teams from each conference would play to decide the berth. “It makes things very clean for advancing,” Arlington athletic director Tom Roys said. Adjustments will also divide the 2A into two six-team divisions. The 2A playoff format is still to be determined. The schools will be divided based on a ranking sys-

tem devised by the athletic directors to ensure a competitive balance. The new league figures to be a powerhouse — its members have claimed seven of the past 10 Class 2A state champions. “I’m really excited. I think it’ll make us the most competitive in the state,” Teeter said. Leveling the playing field will help smaller schools that don’t have many kids turning out for football. “If your numbers are down, then you probably have players that shouldn’t be playing high school football,” Teeter said, adding there were many inequities in the 2A division, with rebuilding programs facing elite teams.

Marysville athletic director Greg Erickson said, “Some teams were having a hard time maintaining teams and didn’t want those programs to fold. And plus it wasn’t much fun.” Roys added: “Football is kind of a unique sport in that the size of the school plays a big factor on football” because of how large the talent pool is to choose from. The athletic directors hope to have the leagues finalized soon after the WIAA meets to hear appeals on Jan. 24-25. The leagues involved will remain in their current formats for all other sports. -David Krueger of The Herald contributed to this report.

“They’ve already been on a long road to recovery,” he said. Volunteers will be trained by the mission in how to deal with clients. The mayor said the help is social in nature. “Showing we care about them,” he said. “Social contact that will help them integrate into the community.” Nehring said the women who make it this far want to succeed. “Everybody wants to help those who truly want help,” he said. While in the house, clients would pay about $300 a month in rent, plus food, utilities, etc.

Dan Hazen, executive pastor of Allen Creek Community Church, said faith groups have addressed the issue individually in the past, and are looking forward to combining forces on this effort. “We have a great network of churches in town,” he said. “We just don’t want to step on each others’ feet.” Hazen said in other communities cities don’t work with churches. “I’m super proud of city government for stepping in,” he said. At some point, Hazen said he hopes churches can combine available finances

and purchase an abandoned, foreclosed home, for example. Another option might be a church with an adjoining house their pastor may not use. Hazen said his church got involved in the issue a few years ago when a homeless person who sometimes went to church there died. Hazen said Marysville citizens don’t have to worry about residents of the house being just from the freeway offramp. He said those folks are “still doing research” on homelessness.

bilitation stages and have moved on to the development stage. “They are through the crisis, at a place in-between,” he said. Sylvia Anderson, chief executive officer of the Everett Gospel Mission, said she also is excited about partnering with Marysville’s faith community. “It’s an underutilized resource,” she said. “We share a common vision of helping neighbors. I have a dream that every church (in the county) would have one house (to help the homeless). Then we could make a dent” in housing the homeless.

“We’d love for the faith community to step up and own this,” she added. Anderson said the mission is based on Christian principles, but that is not a requirement for clients. “God will lead them where they want to go,” she said. Anderson said some people are worried that, “If you build a house (for the homeless) they will come.” But she said the homeless already are here in Marysville. “I drove by three on the way here,” she said, adding it’s crazy that, “Houses are empty, and we have a homeless problem.”

M-P’s more-complete guard scores 34 in win BY BRANDON ADAM

North City AAU to develop his inside skills and putting on mass to “get past those big guys” under the rim. Bevan burst onto the scene as a sophomore who lacked height but had great shooting ability. But since maturing and expanding his basketball skills, the fivefoot-10 guard has proved to be a versatile offensive weapon for the Tomahawks. “He might not have all the tools as a sophomore like the strength or speed, but he can still shoot it back then,” coach Bary Gould said. “But his game has evolved in the three years he got here.” Bevan’s career in basketball started as early as he could remember. His dad had him play at the YMCA since he was 4, and he’s never taken a year off. Though a near lifelong tenure, Bevan isn’t sure if

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck senior Josh Bevan has become a more “complete” player. Bevan shined in M-P’s game against Oak Harbor Jan. 19, when he scored a season-high 34 points. He hit six shots from the 3-point line. As a result, he is the Marysville GlobeArlington Times Athlete of the Week. “My teammates were getting me the ball, and the shots were going down,” Bevan said. “I told my coach my shots were on during warm ups.” But he also scored his remaining points from under the rim and from the free throw line — a dimension of the game he wanted to get better at last year. “Teams were able to shut me down in the perimeter,” he said, so he trained at the

Gould is one of his teachers and is “very passionate about basketball,” Bevan said.

“We talked about it’s a really good life teaching,” Gould said. “He wants to have an impact on this world — he already is — but it’s pretty cool to see someone get the bigger picture.” Bevan wants to teach history and language arts.

He’s creating a highlight reel. “We’ll see what happens,” he said. “I think if he was 6-foot-4 and doing what he’s doing now, he would be getting all kind of college looks,” Gould said. “Since he is undersized that scares some colleges away.”

Boeing in Puget Sound

Boeing moves into its second century

Staying competitive a key focus for 2016

oeing wrapped up a strong performance in 2015 with a record number of airplanes produced and many other accomplishments. But its centennial year will be challenging with a major focus on being more competitive seen as key to the company’s long-term success. Thanks to a tremendous team effort, in 2015 Boeing produced a record 762 commercial airplanes. In 2014 the company delivered 723 airplanes – the previous year, 648. Climbing this hill was not easy, and the entire company takes pride in this achievement, which leads the industry. Other accomplishments in 2015 include building the first 737 MAX, achieving firm configuration of the new 777X airplane design and celebrating the first flight of the KC-46A Pegasus refueling tanker. Boeing also set a record for parts and services orders, expanded the 737 Seattle Delivery Center at Boeing Field and hosted China President Xi Jinping. It’s a different dynamic when it comes to new orders for airplanes. In 2015, Boeing booked 768 orders – a substantial number, but a 50-percent drop from 1,432 in the previous year. And Airbus recently reported they booked more than 1,000 orders – besting Boeing by nearly 25 percent.

In looking at the numbers, the important thing to note is that airline customers’ priorities have shifted. They are more focused than ever before on the prices they pay for airplanes. Price is what matters and Boeing must respond. “We build and support great airplanes – still the best in the world – but Airbus has improved its quality while

maintaining lower pricing – presenting a tough choice for even our longest-standing customers,” said Ray Conner, Boeing vice chairman and president and CEO of Commercial Airplanes. Boeing believes the competition with Airbus will grow more aggressive this year – especially since timing and external forces could affect large airplane sales. To ensure its long-term position in the market, in 2016 Boeing is sharpening its focus on designing and building quality while accelerating efforts to reduce costs. “This is the first time in our history where we are competing in every single market segment,” Conner said. “It’s head-to-head competition with Airbus, and we’re also preparing for future competition from China, Brazil, Canada and other countries.” The good news is that Boeing announced production rates will climb again this year as the 767 program moves to build two airplanes per month and the 787 rate climbs to build 12 per month. Meanwhile, the 737 program will lay the groundwork for next year’s jump from 42 to 47 jets per month. In July, Boeing will celebrate 100 years of worldchanging innovation. It’s a reminder that together with our local communities, we do great things – each and every year.

oeing and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA), representing more than 20,000 employees, recently announced a tentative agreement on a new six-year contract extension, following several weeks of discussions. “This tentative agreement recognizes the significant contributions of our engineering and technical workforce and reinforces Boeing’s commitment to the Puget Sound region,” said Boeing Vice Chairman and Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner.

Highlights of the tentative agreement include: ■ Market leading compensation ■ Expanded workforce stability protections relative to Puget Sound engineering work movement ■ A transition benefit to a new retirement program ■ Modest increases in employee contributions for market-leading health care “These negotiations were possible because SPEEA and Boeing decided not to let our areas of disagreement prevent us from making progress on items where we do agree,” said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director in a news statement. “These contract extensions are the result of a lot of hard work and good will. Hopefully, this gives us a template for the future.” For additional information, visit www.boeing.com/speea.

Linking up for the long game: Boeing, Callaway fulfill need for speed Golf company calls on aerospace engineers to help design faster club

hen engineers from Boeing and the Callaway Golf Co. got together for a cross-industry collaboration last year, the knowledge and experience applied to airplanes on the runway resulted in a golf club that can drive a ball farther down a fairway. An innovation by Boeing engineers to modify air flow around the club contributed to what they have validated through testing as a faster driver — Callaway’s XR 16. The project began last year when Callaway sought the expertise of the world’s leading aerospace company. “We’ve made a lot of strides over the years to improve aerodynamic efficiency in our products, but we decided it might be a good idea to call on the experts at Boeing and ask, ‘could your expertise help us design a faster club?’” said Alan Hocknell, senior vice president of research and development at Callaway. That simple question led to a special assignment for a small team of engineers led by Wayne Tygert, chief project engineer of 787 Airplane Development, and Jeffrey Crouch, Boeing Senior Technical Fellow, Aero Flow Physics, who saw it as an opportunity to learn from experts in other industries. “Reducing drag, controlling air flow and improving aerodynamic performance is a critical part of airplane de-

sign and something we take a lot of pride in doing extremely well,” Crouch said. “I was very curious to see how we could translate our experience to golf club design.”

Newer team members like Adam Clark, an aerodynamics engineer in Flight Sciences, and Harrison Chau, a configuration design engineer in Airplane Configuration and Integration, gained valuable experience on shortflow product development and innovation cycles. Despite the collective knowledge of the Boeing and Callaway group, the project presented some unique challenges, the engineers said. For example, unlike airplanes, drivers move through space with rapid changes in orientation. Crouch, with Clark and Chau, determined that the best method to increase the speed of the driver was to use a local air-flow modifier, called the Speed Step, on top of the club head. The Speed Step essentially alters the flow of air around the driver head enough to improve its speed from the top of the swing through impact with a golf ball. The increased speed upon impact can lead to greater distance for the driven golf ball — something every golfer of any talent level seeks. “I love my job as an aerodynamicist at Boeing, but it’s always great to learn from engineers in other industries,” Clark said. “This was a great opportunity to push myself and grow my skills and experience.”

Seahawks linebacker pops the question

Seattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright pops the question in Boeing’s Everett facility.

You keep innovating. We’ll keep caring for you.

eattle Seahawks linebacker KJ Wright (#50) can be forgiven if years from now he doesn’t remember everything he saw during a tour in late December of Boeing’s facility in Everett, Wash. That’s because his VIP tour of the Everett Flightline and factory ended with him on bended knee before his longtime girlfriend, Nathalie. As two Boeing employees, wearing bow ties with their coveralls, unfurled a banner saying, “Nathalie – will you marry me?” down the side of a 787, Wright popped the question before his shocked girlfriend and her family who were visiting for the holidays. Needless to say, the answer was yes! Wright devised the unique proposal plan because his nowfiancee’s father is an aviation enthusiast who he knew would enjoy a tour of Boeing’s Everett site. Wright was joined on the tour by another notable guest – teammate Jimmy Graham – a registered pilot.

Airplane 101: Teachers become students

A group of teachers from the Puget Sound area attended Airplane 101, hosted by Boeing as part of the company’s STEM outreach efforts.

As part of its STEM outreach efforts, Boeing gives teachers an interactive lesson about airplanes and aerodynamics they can take back to their classrooms ecoming students for the day, a group of Puget Sound area teachers participated in interactive exercises illustrating basic aerodynamic principles such as lift, thrust, drag and weight that they could take back to their classrooms during a recent day-long Airplane 101 class in Everett, Wash. The program, hosted by Flight Services Marketing and the Museum of Flight, is one way Boeing aims to build students’ interest and skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). By bringing teachers in to experience airplanes up close and talk with experts, Boeing gives them a unique perspective on the principles of flight, which they can then share with their students. Larry Seto, product marketing manager of flight training for Flight Services, led the teachers through the interactive exercises. Later, the lessons came to life when the group toured the Commercial Airplanes factory and the 787 Dreamliner static test bed, where they saw how Boeing simulates stresses on the airframe.

“I now can offer my students realworld examples of careers in aviation,” one teacher wrote in an anonymous evaluation of the class. Another wrote, “I plan to use these teaching techniques and examples in my class.” The teachers indicated that touring the production line — and taking aerospace knowledge beyond books — was particularly important to them. “I like having personal experience to refer to when teaching,” one teacher wrote. As Boeing prepares to celebrate its centennial in 2016, preparing and inspiring future innovators is a key focus, and programs like this can help influence the education environment, according to Sherry Carbary, vice president of Boeing Flight Services. “Teachers play an incredible role in shaping our future workforce,” Carbary said “This was a great opportunity to give teachers the tools they need to incorporate basic aviation principles into their curriculum.”

AHS robotics team tells Olympia thanks BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School’s Robotics Team gets plenty of practice developing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills through their annual robotbuilding competitions, but what might be less evident is how well-versed they’ve become in communications and politics. Although members of the AHS team have traveled to Olympia to talk with state legislators about their robotics club, Jan. 13 marked the first time the organization that stages those competitions set aside a day for the teams to visit the state capitol. Martin Luther King Day saw Washington FIRST Robotics arrange meetings between students and the legislators’ staffers to thank those elected officials for their support of STEM education, including $700,000 for grade 9-12 robotics competitions, grade 7-12 technology challenges and grade 4-8 LEGO leagues. “We were able to tell them, through our firsthand experiences, how funding STEM has inspired students,” AHS Robotics Club President Elizabeth Burnham said. “When we’ve talked to younger kids in other schools about robotics, they get excited and want to learn more. We’ve had several who have graduated from elementary or middle school, and become valuable members of our

Kaylee Wren, public relations manager club.” Kaylee Wren, the club’s public relations manager, credited STEM with offering students a preview of possible fields of study in college. “You can dabble in a bunch of different subjects and get a better idea of what you want to go into,” Wren said. Although the legislators were in session and unavailable to meet, their assistants expressed enthusiasm for the students’ efforts. “I think most folks who meet with them come to them with a laundry list of requests,” AHS Robotics Club faculty member Mark Ehrhardt said. “They weren’t expecting us to express our appreciation.” Wren agreed: “Even after we told them, ‘Thank you,’ they were asking, ‘Okay, so what do you want?’” Burnham noted that robotics requires more social skills than one might expect, since students have to speak to judges “in a professional manner” at competitions, explaining how their teams have promoted STEM to their peers and throughout the community. “After three years in the club, I’ve done a lot of talk-

ing,” Burnham said. Wren added: “When we get new members, we prepare them with lists of questions and role-play their responses.” Although Wren remains uncertain as to her future, doing PR for the club has given her enough insights on the human condition for her to be interested in psychology. “Doing PR, you learn to read other people, to see what they’re interested in, and figure out how to use language to motivate them,” Wren said. As for Burnham, she’s leaning toward bioengineering, and has applied for a scholarship at Montana State University, but plans to attend Washington State University otherwise. In the meantime, both Burnham and Wren are looking forward to their competitions in March, which Burnham characterized as a combination of the last few years of challenges.

“Our robots will have to shoot to make high and low goals, be able to climb and deal with obstacles,” Burnham said. Ehrhardt reported that this year’s competition will have a Medieval theme of “Strongholds,” in which the robots have to throw “boulders,” breach castles and capture flags. “Our art club is decorating our robot this year, to make it look cooler and more suited to the theme,” Wren said. Looking ahead, the team members hope the legislature and community will continue what they deemed very generous support, and invited youngsters to study up on robotics and pursue membership in the club. “We’re very welcoming,” Burnham said. “Even if you don’t go to our high school, we’ll give you plenty of opportunities to become a valued member of the team.”

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council made progress on the Arlington Valley Road and its water and sewer comprehensive plans Jan. 18. After Debora Nelson was officially selected as the new mayor pro tem, the council approved using $31,800 from the Transportation Improvement Fund to contract Roland Resources’ services in making all the real estate arrangements needed for right of way on the planned Arlington Valley Road. City staff reviewed several proposals from the Municipal Research & Services Center and recommended Roland Resources to analyze, negotiate for and acquire real property interests for up to 11 parcels along the proposed threequarter-mile road. “They’ll need to coordinate continuously with those landowners, as well as hire consultants,” city engineer Eric Scott said. The council also approved a $96,300 supplement to the city’s engineering design contract with Reid Middleton, likewise for the Arlington Valley Road. “We’re adding utilities which were not part of the original plan,” said Scott, who added that a reevaluation of the traffic impacts on 74th Avenue and 204th

The original contract was for $176,229.61, and its new total is $272,529.61. Although the updates to the city water and sewer comp plans were largely routine, having already gone through planning commission public hearings and been met with the approval of the Department of Ecology, Nelson reflected on Arlington’s relative good fortune. “When I see what’s happening in Flint, Mich., I’m so thankful that we have this system in place,” Nelson said. “We don’t have to worry whether our drinking water is healthy.”

‘Dream Team’ tries to equal playing field BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – They don’t look like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird or Charles Barkley. But Superintendent Becky Berg says they are the Marysville School District’s “Dream Team.” They are Kyle Kinoshita, Anthony Craig, Chrissy Dulik-Dalos and Jack Monpas-Huber. At the school board work session Jan. 19 the four talked about their efforts regarding Culture, Equity and Respect in the district. The goal is to provide hands-on support to close opportunity and achievement gaps. As an example, the reading gap in fourth grade was 22 percent passing for Native Americans compared with 61 percent for Asians. Kinoshita, executive director of learning and teaching, said they are going more into buildings this year and seeing subtle racism. “It’s just under the surface,” he said, adding that some people say racism is gone because we have a

black president, but that’s not true. “Racial slurs impede student growth,” he said. Craig, director of cultural competency and school support, said they have looked at each schools equity work and found few minorities in Advanced Placement/ Honors courses and more minorities in things like intervention programs. As for next steps, Kinoshita said teacher microaggressions need to be studied. “They can be small and inadvertent but very damaging,” Kinoshita said. There also will be an effort to engage with Native American students and their families. That could be challenging, Craig said. “There’s hundreds of years of history,” he said, “with feelings about boarding schools just as strong today. That can be hard for others to understand.” It is amazing how little some people know about their next-door neighbors, the Tulalip Tribes, he added. “Some people have never been on that side of the freeway,” Craig said. “That’s somewhat shocking to us.” In other school board

news: •Members of the SIEU again talked about the need for a contract. They said safety of students should be a concern. Examples included: two workers instead of five supervising playgrounds of up to 200 kids, and the lack of crossing guards at busy intersections such as 47th and Grove. Others said they are on the front lines and need better support if injured on the job. “Our resources are smaller, but needs bigger,” said Bonnie Krueger, a Marysville-Pilchuck 22-year employee. “There’s no consideration there, and it’s insulting. Were told the money’s gone. Why?” Diane McCarthy, a 25-year employee, said she’s been involved in negotiations since the 1990s, and these are among the worst. “You don’t feel appreciated when negotiations drag on this long,” she said. “The safety of the kids is out the door.” Victoria Grace, another 25-year employee, said workers don’t even make the poverty level of $24,000 a year. “A lot of us don’t even come close,” she said.

Chrissy Dulik-Dalos, Becky Berg, Jack Monpas-Huber, Anthony Craig and Kyle Kinoshita talk after the meeting where Berg called them “The Dream Team.” •Principal Stephanie Clark and staff talked about improvements at Cedarcrest Middle School. They talked about activities being done to help students bring up scores: homework club, working lunch, Saturday school, before and after school academy, and interventions during P.E. or electives. As a result, more students are at grade level in reading and math. Students are also learning to analyze their work, leading to a deeper level of thinking. “Mistakes are expected, respected and inspected,” Clark said, adding students learn, “I can fix it myself.” As for attendance, the school has identified 32

students who are absent 80 percent of the time and focusing on improving that. On Mondays, staff wears t-shirts supporting, “Respectful, responsible, safe and determined.” “They see it all the time,” Clark said. Students also are asked not only what they have learned but also how it applies to their life. And, parents are learning about computers from their kids. •Tami Farber and Craig Chambers of the YMCA talked about the Minority Achievers Program. The effort helps minorities and children of poverty level the playing field by getting after-school academic and social-emotional support.

The program partners will schools on Common Core standards and reducing summer learning loss. They help participants get college and career ready with activities such as field trips. Farber said they would love to expand into the schools, similar to Advancement Via Individual Determination. •The school approved a value-engineer study that will save $374,000 on the new cafeteria at MarysvillePilchuck High School. State funds are paying for the $7.5 million project. “Even though the state is footing the bill we’re still being responsible to the taxpayers,” board president Pete Lundberg said.

Supporters of Blaze the dog in Arlington dealt a blow in court BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Citizens hoping to hasten the prosecution of the owner of Blaze the dog were dealt a serious blow in court. Linda Perri, organizer of Unchain in Washington State, retained Adam Karp to petition the court for the private prosecution of Kari Ilonummi for gross misdemeanor charges of animal cruelty in the second degree. Judge Kristen Olbrechts, of the Cascade Division of Snohomish County District Court, expressed her sympathies Jan. 14 with the

passions of Perri and her fellow UWS members, who object to the chaining and coning of Blaze. But as a matter of principle, she refused to take the job of any possible prosecution of this case out of the hands of Zachor & Thomas, who serve as the city of Arlington’s prosecuting attorneys. “It’s bad policy for judges to step into the shoes of prosecutors,” said Olbrechts, who told Karp that he should have sent Zachor & Thomas his 90 pages of documents in hard copy, rather than via email. “Perhaps you’re more new-school in that regard, but if I

Choose bike ride of various lengths ARLINGTON – The McClinchy Mile will take place March 20 on the rural roads and quiet trails north of the Stillaguamish River Valley. McClinchy Mile supports recreational bicycling, advocacy and bike-related local grants through B.I.K.E.S. Club of Snohomish County. Riders can choose flat or hilly routes that are 34, 48, 52 or 100 miles. The cost is $35 on the day of the ride, or save $5 by signing up early. The first 200 registrants get a reflective McClinchy backpack. Riders can register and start from 8-10 a.m. March 20. Learn more about the ride at bikesclub.org/mcclinchy.

were them, I wouldn’t know what all I had in front of me.” Olbrechts also asserted that Karp didn’t give Zachor & Thomas enough time to review those documents before petitioning the court to conduct a private prosecution, even though she echoed Perri’s concerns about Blaze’s ability to seek cover from the elements inside his doghouse while still coned. “That bothers me,” she said. “But you were premature in bringing this case before me.” Olbrechts explained that Zachor & Thomas have two years from the date of the offense to charge

Ilonummi. She elaborated that Zachor & Thomas are likewise granted leeway to determine a specific date for the offense, in the case of an offense which was committed over multiple days. “This is going to involve a lot of investigation on their part, including lining up their own interviews,” Olbrechts said. “For them to prosecute, they can’t just have probable cause. They have to be able to prove the case.” Perri lodged complaints about what she saw as the non-responsiveness of the Arlington Police Department to this issue. When

Service available on Hondas, Yamahas & most other makes!

Olbrechts informed her that public records requests can’t be granted for ongoing investigations, Perri claimed to have heard contradictory accounts of whether Blaze actually was the subject of an ongoing investigation. Attorney H. James Zachor, who was in attendance during the hearing, told the UWS members that his family cares passionately about animal welfare, but must follow proper procedures. “We have eight cities we have to review,” Zachor said. “We probably prosecute more of these cases than the county does.”

Mayor talks fireworks, development, crime at meeting BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Although he personally favors a fireworks ban, Mayor Jon Nehring said he encourages citizens passionate about the issue to come to the Jan. 25 City Council meeting. A decision could be made that night. The meeting will start at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Nehring said he has never seen an issue polarize the community as much as this one. People seem to be strongly for or against it. At the last meeting, new council president Kamille Norton suggested coming up with a compromise. “You owe it to yourself to contact your council members,” Nehring said. “But the most powerful way is coming to the meeting.”

The mayor said even though it was officially just an advisory vote, almost 60 percent of those who voted in November favored a ban. “If I won an election by that amount it would be a mandate.” At the mayor’s Coffee Klatch Jan. 14 at the Baxter Community Center, participants also discussed a number of other topics. Redevelopment of downtown was talked about in detail. Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima said the city is trying to attract the right kind of development. The city realizes, “Wow, this could really be something,” she said, but the image of the area needs to change. One thing already helping is downtown is a Stay Out of Drugs

Area. Anyone with a drug background can be arrested if they are caught there. Also, Hirashima said in March a consultant will present ideas to the city on how to change its image. The mayor said the city would like to develop 10 things people can do downtown. “Then there would be all types of things for folks to enjoy,” he said. Walking trails along the waterfront to the estuary will be constructed soon. “It’s magnificent,” Nehring said of that nature area. People wonder, “Am I even in Marysville anymore?” One improvement already helping downtown is the city taking over the historic Marysville Opera House. “Marysville lacks culture. People are hungry for it,” he said.

Nehring said when he first became mayor people wanted him to bring in commercial businesses so they could shop at home. Since that has happened, now people want to improve their quality of life, with parks and cultural events. Hirashima said a new Highway 529 interchange off of Interstate 5 in the next decade will bring a new gateway to the city, which will make development along the waterfront even more attractive. Hirashima also talked about the effort to fix up the State Avenue corridor. The old Highway 99 is mostly strip commercial, “very old and low rent,” she said. “It tends to get rundown.” The city is doing an online poll to see what the community wants to do to improve it. The mayor was asked about ille-

gitimate massage parlors in town. Police Chief Rick Smith stepped up to answer that question. “We find it, and we root it out,” he said, adding those businesses often don’t follow code enforcement laws so police can get them to move out of town. Another concern was pawn shops. But Smith said police have a great relationship with those businesses in town in getting stolen property. Still another crime concern had to do with trails and homeless near Wal Mart. While crime is down in the city overall, Smith said if crimes flare up, people need to report them so police can refocus on those areas. “It’s a prime function of government, to drive criminals out of here,” Nehring said.

Local teams compete in Hi-Q

Marysville-Getchell won Round 1 Hi-Q match recently. MG hosted Jackson and Lynnwood, and was in last place at halftime with just 15 points. Midway through the second half, however, the Chargers caught fire, claiming both the team choice and math toss-ups, and sweeping the world history category to finish with 37 points to Jackson’s 27 and Lynnwood’s 24. Marysville-Pilchuck was third in its match with 25 points. Lake Stevens won with 40 and Archbishop Murphy had 29. Hi-Q, which started 40 years ago and has nine Everett-area teams, challenges high school teams with questions in 13 categories, including art history, literature, chemistry and mathematics. Round 2 contests will have M-P at Lynnwood Feb. 8 and MG at Lake Stevens Feb. 11.

Arlington woman accused of stealing from Salvation Army kettles By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

EVERETT — It really wasn’t in the spirit of the season. An Arlington woman has been accused of stealing hundreds of dollars that had been collected from Salvation Army donation buckets in the week before

Christmas. The suspect, 26, once worked on behalf of the nonprofit organization and knew how the money was collected, an Everett police report says. Police allege that on Dec. 17 she passed herself off as a current Salvation Army employee and was

able to get a key to the money collection pots at an Everett Fred Meyer store. She then replaced the full pots with empty ones. Police estimate that she stole about $400 that day. She reportedly tried the ruse again two days before Christmas

at a north Everett QFC. “This time the bell ringers had been warned that someone was pretending they worked for Salvation Army and not to release the collection pot to anyone unless they had proper identification,” the police report says. She reportedly told them that

she forgot her identification and eventually left. Police showed up at the woman’s doorstep Jan. 13. She allegedly confessed. She was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of criminal impersonation with the intent to defraud.
