MFD holds ceremony to commemorate 9/11
By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
The Marysville Fire District held their annual 9/11 ceremony to commemorate the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and to remember former Marysville firefighter Jeff Thornton. The day marked the 17th year since the terrorist attacks that caused both towers of the World Trade Center to collapse, hit the Pentagon, and claimed United Airlines Flight 93. “Most of us will always remember the horror and helplessness we felt as the devastating news reports came across our screens on Sept. 11, 2001, and in the many weeks that followed,” said Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring. “I know on the national stage that all of us, as firefighters, are looking to keep the memory of that day See CEREMONY on page 2

Music, food and farm fresh vegetables were available at Legion Park for the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce's Harvest Festival on Sept. 15. This is the first year that the local chamber has held an event like the Harvest
Festival. They were hoping to provide something for local families. "We wanted to do a fun, family friendly event downtown with a harvest theme. There really hasn't been anything like that before down here," said Jennifer Egger, executive director of

New center supports young adults with disabilities By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Young adults with disabilities now have a new option to help them transition to postschool life at the recently opened Marysville Tulalip Integrated Learning Center. The program being run by local nonprofit Eagle Wings disAbility Ministries held their grand opening on Sept. 11 and had started classes less than a week before that. The center has been three years in the making. Many community members were concerned about what happens to those who graduate from the Marysville School District’s 18-21 transition program without the
structure and social support. Once students reach the age of 21 they have to leave the program. “This is an amazing day. It was probably three years ago that we started a committee for creating sustainable opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring. “Parents came to me and said ‘it’s really disturbing that after 21 years of age our kids don’t have anywhere to go. The bus stops coming and they sit in front of the TV,’” said Nehring. That abrupt change can be tough on many of them. See CENTER on page 10

alive,” said Marysville Fire District Chief Martin McFalls. Nehring said that 14,000 to 18,000 people worked in the World Trade Center. “Most were evacuated safely thanks to the first responders and rescue personnel on the site,” he said. “Their heroic efforts are forever etched into our country’s memory.” More than 3,000 people perished because of the attack, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers. “Sadly, some of the first responders that did not perish on that day continue
today to pay a very heavy price for their efforts. Just last week I read about 15 FBI agents who have died due to cancers linked to toxic exposure during the Sept. 11 investigation and cleanup,” said Nehring. “These sobering numbers underscore how our first responders literally risk their lives in service to others, both during an event and after,” he said. Nehring said it’s important to keep remembering 9/11, even as it moves further into the past. “Even those that are high school seniors do not remember what it was like on 9/11, and many of them weren’t even born yet,” he said.
“It’s important that our kids get an opportunity to learn about 9/11 and carry on this memory,” he said. For the Marysville Fire District the day was also difficult. “When it occurred back in 2001, one of our members was in the midst of a yearlong battle with cancer,” said McFalls. Jeff Thornton, an 18-year veteran with the Marysville Fire District, had recently received some experimental therapies in California but passed away on Sept. 11, and McFalls said members of the district were notified just a couple of hours after the towers fell. “So our feelings about the day we’re pretty bowled up

with what happened to Jeff as well,” he said. “It’s just become another reason for us to always remember,” he said. Thornton was a popular member of the fire district. “He worked hard, he played hard and fought hard as a pillar of this community,” said Nehring. “Jeff started a lot of what we strive to continue in the department to this day,” said McFalls. McFalls said Thornton was involved in many charitable causes, such as helping to start the district’s Relay for Life team and was one of the first members to enter into the Seattle Firefighter Stairclimb, an event that raises funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thornton’s family is still a part of the community, even though they don’t live in Marysville. “They don’t just come on 9/11, they make the trek to Marysville on multiple occasions,” said Nehring. McFalls said one member of his family continues to visit Marysville’s fire stations once a month, and used to always stop by on the 11th of the month. “They are still very much a part of this community,” said McFalls. “I want them to know, and all of us to know, that Jeff will always be remembered as a favorite son of our family,” said Nehring. Nehring thanked the many locals who stopped by to pay their respects at the annual 9/11 ceremony. “It’s important we never forget what happened, those feelings, that gnawing lump in our throat,” he said. McFalls said the Marysville Fire District plans to continue running the ceremony each year. “It’s important to never forget the 3,000 lives that were lost that day, and the biggest attack ever on American soil, but for this community there is something else that makes the day special as well,” he said.

Know when to stop for school buses ____ By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
As students return to school, school buses will be out again every morning and afternoon, and local officials urge you to remember to keep student safety in mind while driving. Drivers should be careful around buses and “look at the lights at the back of the bus,” said Traci Tobler, transportation manager for the Marysville School District. “If they’re working at all, that means the bus is getting ready to or in the process of unloading and loading students,” she said. Flashing yellow lights mean that the bus is getting ready to stop and red means children are getting on or off the bus, said Tobler. Parents can also encourage their kids to keep safe while walking around the bus to go to school or to go home. “Students should make eye contact with the bus drivers while walking around the bus,” said Tobler. That will help the bus driver be aware of where the kids around the bus are, she said. The Lakewood School District also encourages students to help out the bus driver as well, said Sheri Sandquist, transportation supervisor for the Lakewood School District. “It can get very distracting for the bus driver,” she said, and the more students that are facing forward in their seats and using their “classroom voices” to talk, the better the bus driver will be able to drive. “We want to be sure that

our bus drivers are focused on the road because problems can happen when they have to split their focus on the kids they’re driving,” said Sandquist. Drivers should also remember the rules of the stop paddle that school buses put out when dropping off or picking up students. Sandquist said that the stop paddle is mainly about the lane the bus is in and the lane directly next to it. “If we are on a two lane road, that means both directions of traffic have to stop,” she said. “If it is three or more lanes, we can only control the lane next to us,” she said. Which means that the other direction of traffic doesn’t have to stop on a four lane road. Last year was the first full year that the Marysville School District used cameras installed onto their buses which were meant to catch drivers breaking the law. In total, 531 citations were issued and the district received $42,793 last school year, according to Emily Wicks, coordinator of communications at the district. Ticket revenue from the program goes partially to courts to handle the cases and partially to the school district, which must spend the funds on safety and se-
Community invited to Sept. 27 RFA meeting As Snohomish County Fire District 12 and the city of Marysville continue to consider proposing the formation of a Regional Fire Authority (RFA), residents and business representatives are invited to learn more about the process, ask questions and offer input. An ‘RFA Community Conversation’ is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 27, at 6:30 p.m. at Marysville City Hall, 1049 State Ave., immediately following the RFA Planning Committee meeting. These meetings will be in Council Chambers on the second floor. Members of the media are also welcome to attend. Fire and emergency medical services are some of the most important services that jurisdictions provide to their residents.
Because population growth and changing demands are impacting service delivery, the city and fire district are exploring an RFA to meet increasing demands, enhance operational efficiencies and provide sustainable funding for these critical services. If the city and fire district agree on a proposed RFA plan, Marysville voters will decide whether to form an RFA and if so, approve how it is funded. A second opportunity for public input in the RFA planning process will take place at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 17, at Marysville Fire District Station #62, 10701 Shoultes Rd.

curity measures. “From the driver’s perspective, they are appreciating the cameras,” said Tobler. Before, getting the license plate of a driver running the stop paddle was the responsibility of the bus driver, she said. “They don’t have to concentrate on getting the information of cars that break the law,” said Tobler, “so they can stay more focused on the safety of the kids and their attention isn’t split or distracted.”

Eagles battle for a 21-13 Stilly Cup victory By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Arlington football team hosted a rivalry game as the Stanwood Spartans came to fight for the Stilly Cup, on Sept. 14. The Eagles started off the game on offense as they
slowly pounded out their first drive with a lot of short passes and positive rushing plays. They were able to cap off the drive with a short touchdown pass down the middle of the field. Arlington’s defense managed to stand strong on back-toback drives and forced a sec-

ond punt in the first quarter. With time expiring, the Eagles scored yet again on a 47yard bomb and converted a two-point conversion to secure the 15-0 lead. Arlington’s offense had a rough time in the second quarter as they had a pair of interceptions thrown to the Spartan defense. Stanwood still had a tough time on offense but were able to put together one strong drive near the end of the quarter to put up seven points on the board. Going into halftime the Eagles led 15-7. Stanwood started on offense in the second half, but the Eagles' defense stood tall and forced a punt early. Arlington came back strong on offense as they kept moving the ball downfield and eventually took a shot deep for a 35-yard touchdown pass, but unfortunately had their PAT blocked. After the touchdown, there would not be another score until late in the fourth as Stanwood crossed the goal line with a short run with a blocked PAT. With a consistent offensive game plan, the Eagles
walked away with the 21-13 victory. With this victory, Arlington secures it’s ninth straight Stilly Cup victory. “We have a lot of new starters out there that are making a lot of plays. The plan is that they will continue to learn throughout the year and just get better. We got this rivalry game early on in the year so getting the win is great for momentum and seeing where we’re at,” said Arlington Head Coach Greg Dailer. The Arlington offense was led by their senior third-year starting quarterback Anthony Whitis. He had a good day through the air with over 250 passing yards to go along with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He was also able to extend plays with his legs and picked up over 30 yards on the ground. There were multiple weapons for Whitis to go to as Michael Tsoukalas, Dylan Simmons, Joey Stretch and Brayden Whetstone contributed heavily. Tsoukalas caught the first touchdown

Arlington’s senior running back Daylin Pierce cuts to the outside and looks upfield at Arlington High School on Sept. 14. of the game as well as recording 42 receiving yards and two tackles on defense. Simmons caught the final touchdown for the Eagles to go along with over 40 receiving yards and four tackles on defense. Stretch had the longest touchdown grab of the day, 41 yards, and finished with over 62 yards total. Whetstone was a consistent check-down option and totaled over 40 yards receiving as well. On the defensive side,
Will Shoemaker and Kristian Fairbanks played huge for the Eagles. Shoemaker totaled six combined tackles as well as notching an incredible two sacks on the Spartan quarterback. Fairbanks finished with a handful of tackles as well as tallying a few key pass deflections late in the game. If you want to come out and cheer on the Eagles they will be hosting the Ferndale Golden Eagles on Friday, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m.

Tomahawks host cross country meet By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville-Pilchuck cross country team hosted the Arlington Eagles, Glacier Peak Grizzlies and the Shorewood Thunderbirds on Sept. 12. The Tomahawks only had two girls compete in the varsity race, so they were unable to put up a score for the team. However, Marysville-
Pilchuck’s boys team ended with a score of 88 which put them in last out of the four teams. Arlington competed hard from the top of their roster to the bottom as they secured a second-place finish for the girls with a score of 54, compared to Glacier Peak’s score of 16. On the boys side, Arlington had a tough battle as they ended with 55 points, third place, right behind

Shorewood who scored 52. “This is the biggest team that we’ve had over the last few years so it’s exciting to have more athletes come out and compete. We have a young team so we’re trying to train them in a wide range of activities and make sure that we keep them healthy,” said Marysville-Pilchuck Head Coach Cali Burnett. Mar ysville-Pilchuck’s two girl runners were junior Alexia Sandoval and sophomore Elizabeth Turral. Sandoval narrowly missed the top 20 as she finished 21st, out of 65 athletes, with a time of 22:51. Turral finished in front of 15 other runners with a 50th place finish and a time of 26:40. The Tomahawk boys were led by three seniors, Trever Stone, Tanner Lauzon and Jeffery Richner. Stone had an impressive performance as he finished in fifth, 16:48, out of 35 runners and missed the fourth-place spot by one second. Lauzon placed 15th with a time of 17:33 and Richner finished just outside the top 20 at 21st, 18:02. “The biggest strength of our team is our ability to have a tight pack of guys and girls near the front at all times. Having that amount
of depth and consistency is how we’re going to be able to compete in a lot of the meets this year,” said Arlington Head Coach Mike Shierk. Arlington had a lot of athletes at the top as they had eight girls finish in the top 20. Their trio of juniors led the team, which included Tailer Cochran, Paige Nelson and Jensyn Smith. Cochran crossed the line in fifth place with a time of 20:26. Nelson and Smith came in close together with an 11th place, 21:35, and 13th place finish, 21:42, respectively. The Eagles boys team also grouped up near the top as they had seven athletes finish in the top 20. They were led by junior Chance Pearston, sophomore Quincy Fankhauser and senior Favian Villanueva. All three of them finished alongside each other with a ninth, 10th and 11th place finish. Pearston led them with a time of 17:27 while Fankhauser and Villanueva finished one second behind at 17:28. If you want to cheer on the Tomahawks or the Eagles, their next local meet will be the Nike 11th Annual Twilight Invitational hosted by Marysville Getchell on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 2:30 p.m.
Marysville swimmers compete against Oak Harbor Wildcats By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell girls swim teams hosted the Oak Harbor Wildcats on Sept. 11. The Tomahawks started out hot winning the first race of the day in the 200-meter medley relay. Throughout the rest of the competition they continued their dominance as they won eight out of 12 events and finished with the 10059 victory over Oak Harbor. The Chargers began the competition with domi-
nance as they secured first place in four out of the first five events of the day. However, the Wildcats managed to turn it on late and finished with first-place finishes in six out of 12 races. With the close score, Marysville Getchell lost to Oak Harbor by a score of 69-65. “It was a great first meet against another small team so we weren’t overmatched with numbers or anything. As a coach I saw a lot of great effort and pretty solid technique work, which means we should be able to
grow a lot throughout the season. We’re starting the season looking at the details and that’s huge,” said Marysville Head Coach Meredith Franks. The Tomahawks had incredible performances from Katelyn Leary, Cassidy O’Neal and Maddy Sulya. Leary finished first in two solo races including the 200-meter individual medley, 2:38.46 and the 100-meter butterfly, 1:10.09. Leary also finished first in two relays including the 200-meter medley relay, 2:14.67, and the 200-meter

freestyle relay with a time of 2:08.69. Sulya earned a victory in the 50-meter freestyle, 30.79 seconds, as well as competing on the medley and freestyle relays. O’Neal capped off the dominance with a win in the 100-meter freestyle with a time of 1:12.28 and was also a part of the freestyle relay. The Chargers were led by Lexi Kilbourn, Maddy Grandbois and Isabella Bennett. Kilbourn took control of the diving event as she outscored every other diver by more than 30 points, with a score of 182.8. Grandbois earned three first-place finishes in the 50-meter freestyle, 31.08 sec., 100-meter freestyle, 1:13.20, and as part of the 200-meter medley relay with a time of 2:34.52. Bennett finished with three victories in the 200-meter individual medley, 2:47.60, 100-meter backstroke, 1:11.48, and competed on the medley relay team. If you want to come and support both of the Marysville swim teams their next home competition will be against the Cascade Bruins on Thursday, Sept. 20, at 3:15 p.m.

Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will overwinter successfully. “You can get planting done and not have a whole summer of watering ahead of you,” said Aaron Hall, owner of Fruitful Farm and Nursery located near Arlington, which will open for its fall season Oct. 1. He added the fall is a good time to plant new shrubs and trees. A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year. The fall is also a good time to repair lawns because even though the temperature is cooler, it’s still warm enough for germination, Hall said. Gardening enthusiasts can focus their attention on these areas this fall. Pamper perennials. As annuals and perennials start to fall back, mark the spots where perennials are located so they can be easily identified later on. This way, when planning spots for spring bulbs or other spring layouts for next year, perennials won’t be over-

looked or covered over. Prune shrubs. Look at shrubs and trees and cut out dead or diseased wood. Hall recommended people wait until the late fall, when the leaves have fallen, to prune shrubs. Clean up borders. Weed and tidy up borders and lawn edging. Install pavers or rock wall. Embrace the cooler temperatures to work on labor-intensive projects, such as putting in a garden bed, retaining wall or walkway. Remove spent summer veggies. Take out vegetable garden plants that have already bloomed and borne fruit. Tidy up vegetable gardens and start to sow cooler weather plants, such as onions, garlic, beans, and sweet peas. Rake and compost. Rake the leaves and gather grass clippings to add to the compost pile. Plant spring bulbs. Get tulips and other spring bulbs ready for planting so they’ll burst with color next year. Gardeners can also plant some cooler weather crops such as kale and cabbage, Hall said. For the tomato plants that still have some green fruit remaining, snip off the plant above the first cluster of fruit to encourage it to ripen. Dig up herbs. Relocate herbs like parsley or basil to indoor gardens. Otherwise, strip all leaves and freeze for storage during winter. Consider mums. Chrysanthemum plants are perennials. While they look beautiful in pots, if planted, maintained and winterized, they can bloom every fall. Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizing in autumn helps ensure grass will stay healthy throughout the winter. Add mulch and compost to the garden. Replenish spent soil with mulch and compost so garden beds will be revitalized for spring planting. Prune hedges. Tidy up hedges, as they won’t be growing much more this year. Clean and store equipment. Clean, sharpen and oil all equipment, storing lawn and garden tools properly so they are ready for spring and not lying out all winter. Autumn may not seem like gardening season, but there are plenty of lawn and garden tasks to tend to during this time of year.

The are a variety of fall blooming bulbs that can add color to your garden stem coils up like a spring and when the seeds are ripe they are thrown several feet away from the mother plant. There also seems to be some symbiotic relationship with ants whereby the ants also spread the seeds around. September is when you can usually find them blooming in 4 inch pots in the nursery. These fall bloomers are
usually only available for a few weeks in the fall so don’t miss out on this opportunity to interject some color into the garden. You will be rewarded for years to come.

Buffalo Field Campaign comes to Tulalip By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Tulalip’s Hibulb Cultural Center hosted the Buffalo Field Campaign’s road show for an evening of music and stories in support of wild buffalo. The Buffalo Field Campaign is a nonprofit organization that has worked for the past 21 years in support of the last wild buffalo herd
in America, which is at Yellowstone National Park. “We like to educate people about’s what’s happening to our national mammal,” said Mike Mease, cofounder of the Buffalo Field Campaign. “The last American, freerange, genetically pure Buffalo herd resides in the ecosystem of Yellowstone and when they walk out they get shot,” he said.
Mease said that some estimates put the number of buffalo in America around 600,000, however those include “what we call ‘beefalo,’” which are a hybrid of American cattle and American bison, that look similar to buffalo. Pure buffalo numbers are down to less than 10,000. “The only ones that don’t live behind fences and are domesticated are the herd

in Yellowstone,” he said. The nonprofit organization has volunteered to work with the buffalo at Yellowstone and has a road show that helps spread awareness. Lakota tribal member Goodshield Aguilar has provided music for the group for many years now. “I knew after watching that film and talking with her [the campaign’s cofounder] that I needed to be a bigger part of saving the Yellowstone buffalo,” he said. “To the Lakota people the buffalo are very much like what the salmon are to tribes in this area,” he said. The destruction of natural resources has direct negative impacts on tribes, said Aguilar. “The epidemic of diabetes in Native Americans is rooted in our traditional diets not being there for us anymore,” he said. The campaign stopped by Tulalip on Sept. 14 to show a documentary, tell stories and play some music. Mease said they typically move all over the west coast. “I think people like the music and the cultural ways we present the information,” he said. Mease enjoys meeting the people and learning about the different areas he visits as well. “It’s a really neat cultural exchange,” he said. Raising awareness for

the buffalo is also a good thing, he said. “People are really astounded because they really don’t know about this issue and it’s kind of eyeopening to them,” he said. “It’s definitely a sad cause, but sad causes can sometimes unite people, and the more people that are united the more we can get to some changes in this world,” he said. The organization is currently working to get the buffalo listed as an endangered species. “And we started that in 2014 but it takes at least eight years,” said Mease.
“last year we won a couple of major victories in the courts,” he said. The group’s goal is to protect the Yellowstone and one day see them be able to roam more freely around the Wyoming and Montana area. Concerns over cattle disease have resulted in court orders for park rangers to prevent the growth of the herd and rein them into the Yellowstone area mostly, although opponents say that free-range elk are a much greater threat of spreading disease and are not culled to the degree bison are. “All this is being done with our taxpayer dollars for the benefit of the cattle industry of the state of Montana, but we believe they can live together, that there’s room for Montana, Wyoming and Idaho to have a significant real buffalo herd,” said Mease.

Reduce your risk for infection, keep immune system strong A chill settles into the nighttime air as summer draws to a close. With the transition into fall, kids return to school, and inevitably the cold and flu season nears. Colds and flus are viruses that spread easily from person to person. Therefore, it doesn’t take long for these viruses to spread through a classroom or office. In this article, you’ll learn some important diet and lifestyle approaches to reduce your risk for infection and help keep your immune system strong. Good hygiene practices are important to help prevent the spread of illness. Teaching these practices to children and changing habits for adults reduces the risk for contracting respiratory viruses. Quality and amount of sleep have an effect on immune function. During our deepest phase of sleep, the body’s healing and repair processes occur. Research demonstrates that not only does lack of good sleep contribute to making a person more vulnerable to become ill, it also impairs the body’s ability to fight the illness. The amount of sleep a person needs varies by age. The National Sleep Foundation recommends children ages 6-13 get 9-11 hours of sleep; teenagers ages 14-17 get 8-10 hours of sleep; adults ages 18-64 get 7-9 hours of sleep and adults 65 and up get 7-8 hours of sleep. Set a regular bedtime to make sure that your a getting adequate amount of sleep. Dietary choices also have a profound impact health and greatly influence the body’s ability to prevent and fight disease. When it comes to cold and flu prevention focus on: Adequate protein intake ensures the immune system has the building blocks it needs to fight illness. Eat at least five to seven servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Aim for a variety of colorful produce, these plant pigments contain antioxidants, nutrients that help boost immune system function. Sugar impairs immune system function. Lower the amount of sugar in your

Dr. Stacie Wells diet; instead of sugary treat, grab a piece of fruit. Reduce consumption of foods that promote the formation of mucus in the body which can exacerbate already present congestion. Foods known to have a mucus forming effect include dairy, red meat and sugar. There are numerous natural medicines that help boost immune system to help fight or prevent colds and flus. Some of my personal go tos are vitamins A, C, D. These all have good evidence of helping to prevent and fight upper respiratory infections. I typically use lower levels for prevention and higher doses for treatment. It’s important to talk to a physician trained in nutrition to determine safe and effective dosing.
Vitamin A should not be taken in amounts greater than 10,000 IU by pregnant or nursing women. Vitamin D supplementation should be based on a person’s blood level determined by lab testing. Vitamin C in excess causes diarrhea and the dose that causes this varies widely from person to person; age is also a factor. Dietary sources of these nutrients pose little risk for adverse effects, unless of course a person is allergic to the food. Sources of vitamin C in the diet include kiwi, oranges, strawberries, yellow peppers. Foods rich in Vitamin A include wild salmon, eggs, button shiitake mushrooms. Vitamin A can be found in shrimp, eggs, and wild salmon. The most important thing to do when you are sick is to stay home. Do not load yourself up on overthe-counter cold medicines and power through the day. Take time to heal: enjoy a hot bath (this also improves immune system function), watch a movie and rest. Allowing yourself to have some downtime helps quicken recovery. Most importantly, staying home when sick pre-
vents the spread of illness to others. Even if you are feeling “better” you can still be contagious. Those who contract the flu can be contagious for 5-10 days after symptoms begin. Children and those with impaired immune systems tend to
clear the flu slower and remain infectious longer. The common cold can be contagious for up to two weeks. Talk to your doctor about a more personalized immune support plan. Dr. Stacie Wells, ND,

“Students who have graduated from the 18-21 transition program oftentimes suffer when their entire world comes to an end,” said Kinder Smooths, director of Eagle Wings disAbility Ministries. Routines, schedules and, oftentimes, friends are now gone, she said. “These are key components for some people. For example, if you have autism you often rely on that structure,” said Smoots. Marysville teacher Jim Stickland said it is a problem for many of the students. “A lot of our students when they turn 21, school ends, and that means their connection to their friends, their connection to learning, their connection to productive involvement in the community ends as well,” he said.

Put the pieces together so you will be able to have a routine that keeps you connected with other people,” said Strickland. Many of the parents and young adults were excited about the opening of the center at 4011 81st Place NE, Marysville, an annex of the Damascus Road Church. “We now have something beyond our wildest dreams from three years ago,” said Nehring. Especially recent graduates who were not sure about how they were going to keep seeing their friends. “Students that were really nervous about aging out last year, they were really anxious about not seeing their friends, and this has allowed that to continue,”
said Strickland. Parents have an easier time continuing work when their children have a place to go as well, said Smoots. “When students are gone it gives a little bit of relief for the parents because they’re gaining skills for independence, but also they have an easier time keeping their jobs,” she said. Smoots said that the program is “100 percent free” because “our students are all adults with limited to no income.” “If you’d like to help you can always designate funds to MTILC at your local Coastal Community Bank,” she said. Strickland said that the program is starting small because they want to get it right. “It’s something I think is not only going to change the lives of the students, but change the community as well, and could be a great example for other communities too,” he said.

Hair Bar opens in Marysville By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com A locally owned Marysville salon, the Hair Bar by Salon Zuberenz, held their grand opening on Sept. 8. The new business is at 1606 Fourth St., Marysville, and had a soft opening this summer. They offer a variety of hair care services, including coloring, highlighting, low-lighting, facial waxing, deep conditioning and more. “I do some permanent waves, even though they’re not really in style, but I can do them,” said Molly Hackett, owner of the new business. Hackett said she has received a lot of training on the products she uses and understands how to keep hair in good condition. “I really pride myself in keeping the hair in good shape. That’s part of my certification with Redken, I know a lot of the chemistry and what these products will do to the hair,” she said. Although Hackett is the only stylist currently at the business, she
plans to bring in others soon. “I’m just easing myself into it because I’ve never owned a business before, so I’m learning the ropes,” she said. She hopes to help train local stylists at her place. “I plan on training and mentoring young stylists straight out of beauty school and helping them with my 15 years of experience,” she said. “That way when they’re on the floor they’re ready and confident,” she said. Hackett said she has spent the last 11 years in Lynnwood at Salon Zuberenz there. Her business is affiliated with the Lynnwood salon and has a silent partner there. It was her years working there, Hackett said, that taught her to keep learning. “When I started at Salon Zuberenz, that’s when I really started focusing on my continuing education,” she said. She continues to go to trainings and hair shows around the country, she said, “and that’s days of hands-
on, in-depth training.” About eight years ago Hackett and her husband moved out to Kayak Point, and about five years ago they had their daughter. Since then she has been hoping to find something closer to home. “It’s just been harder and harder to juggle the commute and the time away from her,” she said. Hackett said she has always wanted to start her own business as well, and is part of the reason she began her stylist career. “I’ve always wanted to start a business … to do my own thing and follow my own path,” she said. Her favorite part about working as a stylist has been getting to know her clients, she said. “A lot of my clients know that I like to have a lot of fun,” she said. There’s also always more to learn, she said. “I like doing hair because things are always changing and there’s always room to grow, and that’s exciting,” she said. The Hair Bar is currently open by appointment only, Tuesday

Opinion
n BEING FRANK
Move forward on water quality standards In an unfortunate reversal, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has decided to reconsider our state’s new water quality standards – the most protective in the nation – based on an industry trade group petition that argues the rules will increase their cost of doing business. Treaty Indian tribes in western Washington believe a pollution-based economy is not sustainable and that no price can be placed on the value of human health or the resources that sustain us. It’s been less than two years since EPA stepped into the rulemaking process to ensure that our water quality standards are based on the best available science. The federal Clean Water Act requires states to develop rules that ensure our waters are clean enough to provide healthy fish and shellfish that are safe to eat. Water quality standards include human health criteria based on how much fish and shellfish we eat. The more we eat, the cleaner the water must be. Two numbers drive the standards: our fish consumption rate and our cancer risk rate from eating local seafood. For more than 25 years the state used a fish consumption rate of only 6.5 grams per day – or about one big bite – to determine water quality standards. The cancer risk rate from consuming toxics in seafood was set at one in 1 million. After EPA got involved,
Lorraine Loomis Washington’s water quality standards were revised about 18 months ago to include a more realistic fish consumption rate of 175 grams (about 6 ounces) per day. The cancer risk rate remained unchanged. The updated water quality standards were the result of years of extensive public processes at the state and federal levels, involving tribal governments as well as industry representatives, environmental groups and other stakeholders. The standards are based on science that accurately reflects what happens when we are exposed to pollution in our waters. They also include a wide range of implementation tools and generous timelines for implementation. Now our hard-fought gains to protect human health are threatened. There is no new science or law that justifies EPA’s reconsideration or that would lead to a different result. EPA’s response to industry’s petition is simply an agreement to participate in rehashing issues and concerns that were discussed, debated and re-
solved through lengthy rulemaking and public process that spanned decades. What has changed is the current anti-regulation approach to a strong economy. We believe that human health and environmental quality are the keys to economic health. We agree with Maia Bellon, director of the state Department of Ecology, who told EPA that she opposes any reconsideration of the current water quality rules. “What Washington State’s communities and businesses need the most right now is predictability, certainty and flexibility to meet clean water requirements. We are well on the path of providing just that.” We also agree with Gov. Jay Inslee who said in 2015: “We will not fall victim to the fear mongers who have attempted to block every clean-air and clean-water law since Earth Day 1970 by arguing we cannot have a healthy environment and a healthy economy. They have been wrong every time.” For 17 days we all watched with great sadness as a grieving mother orca carried her dead calf around the Salish Sea. Toxins in our water and fish are part of that story. Those orcas are us, the late tribal leader Billy Frank Jr. would say. What happens to them will one day happen to us. Lorraine Loomis is the Chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission.

Candidates speak at local forum By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Six candidates for the 39th District seats in the state legislature talked to local residents at a candidates forum on Sept. 11. The 39th District covers much of Arlington and large parts of northeast Marysville, as well as rural Skagit and Snohomish counties. Both house seats and the senate seat will be on the ballot this Nov. 6. Candidates were hosted by a joint meeting between the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce and Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce. Pos. 1 - Ivan Lewis and Robert Sutherland Democrat Ivan Lewis is running against Republican Robert Sutherland in the vacant Pos. 1 seat. Lewis owns and manages a small business in Mukilteo. He said he would focus on issues that “directly impact the families.” “Issues of how do I ensure that I have a family-wage job that pays for the things I need, afford the house I want to live and get to work and back in a reasonable amount of time and healthcare that guarantees I never have to worry about going bankrupt,” he said. Tax reform is also important to Lewis, he said. “It is a massive problem that we have a tax code set up to nickel and dime,” Lewis said. If the state is adding a tax, it needs to replace more re-
gressive taxes, he said, and not just add onto the cost for local families. Sutherland is an Air Force veteran and a retired scientist who has four children. He supports reducing taxes. “In my opinion, we’re being overly taxed on our property, our homes and our automobiles for our registration tabs and so forth,” he said. Sutherland believes that reduced taxes will help the economy which will offset lost government revenue. Traffic gridlock is a major problem in the district, he said. “It has gotten much worse since I retired … we need to start building bridges over busy intersections,” he said. Sutherland is also an advocate for a system similar to school vouchers, where tax funds can go toward schools other than public schools. “I believe we can do a lot better in education by giving parents a choice,” he said. “One size does not fit all for many kids.” Pos. 2 - Carolyn Eslick and Eric Halvorson Incumbent Republican Carolyn Eslick will run against Eric Halvorson for the Pos. 2 seat. Eslick was appointed to the Pos. 2 seat recently and served in the legislature last session. She is the former owner of the Dutch Cup restaurant in Sultan and was formerly mayor of the town as well. She supports more traffic
improvements to the area. “The voice for transportation needed to be louder than it has been,” she said, and cites U.S. Route 2 as one of the roads in need of funds. Mental health programs are also a goal for her, said Eslick. She looked at the $180 million the state spent last year “to make sure our money is spent well” and said there was more work to do. Eslick plans to push a bill that would allow rural area schools to have better access to mental health providers, she said. Halvorson is a local accountant whose wife is a hospice physician. They also run a rescue farm outside of Monroe. The couple has two children with a third on the way, which “has put education and economic stability at the top of my mind,” said Halvorson. He sees the biggest issue of the district as transportation. “When I’m out door belling I’ve had to change the question and ask ‘what are your top priorities besides transportation?’ because they all say transportation,” he said. State Route 522 and U.S. Route 2 are both priorities he said, to reduce congestion but also to improve safety. “Google Maps tells peo-

Candidates for the 39th District Pos. 2 house seat, Eric Halvorson, left, and Carolyn Eslick, talk at a candidates’ forum on Sept. 11. ple all the side roads to get around and people zip by at 50 mph where kids play, so it is a big deal,” he said. Senate - Claus Joens and Keith Wagoner Democrat Claus Joens and incumbent Keith Wagoner are running for the state senate seat. Joens is a high school teacher and father of three. He said his main priority would be tax reform. “We have over 700 loopholes out there that we need to close that are not protecting the poor,” he said. Tax cuts and additional government projects are unrealistic, he said. “How many times have you been told of all the things that your representa-
tives are going to do for you and give cut taxes,” he said. To that end he said he wouldn’t make campaign promises that cost additional taxpayer money. Joens hopes to help the district attract businesses so residents are less reliant on commuting. “Listen to how many times you’ve heard people talk about transportation today,” he said. “We need to develop businesses and put them in the communities where people live.” Wagoner agreed about putting businesses in the district and said his biggest priority for the district would be transportation improvements.
State Route 522 was one of his targets for funds. “If you’ve ever had to go across it, it is an absolute failure of government for the last 20 years,” he said. The funding would come from less bicycle lanes and trails, he said. “Not that I don’t like those, but we have to put our money where the most people are effected,” he said. Affordable housing is another one of Wagoner’s goals for the district, “because we have these jobs, but we don’t have affordable places for them to live,” he said. He hopes to lower barriers for new businesses. “We need to get out of the way on economic development,” said Wagoner.

Arlington to rebid innovation center By Sarah Arney sarah@northcountyoutlook.com After a month-long summer hiatus from meetings, Arlington City Council was back to work for a workshop meeting on Monday, Sept. 10, when they learned that the city received only one bid for the renovation of the Howell Station for an Innovation Center and Pocket Park. The one bid of $583,750 from Bouwer Construction was $301,000 over budget and so staff recommended rejecting the bid and readvertising the project in January 2019. The city of Arlington purchased the Howell Station, 404 N. Olympic Ave., in April 2018 and applied for funding from the state Department of Commerce to create an Innovation Center and Pocket Park. The state’s approved funding will be extended into next year, according to Paul Ellis, city administrator. Meanwhile, another project that had to be rebid, the Haller Spray Park, has just recently launched construction. The decision to reject the innovation Center bid was included in this Monday’s consent agenda, along with changes to an inter-local agreement with the city of Marysville for storm water billing. According to council documents, the city of Arlington has about 900 to 1,000 residents in the Smokey Point area who receive some utility services from the city of Marysville and since Marysville collects payment for those services, they were also billing for surface water, even though Arlington was providing the service. Staff is now suggesting the city of Arlington should collect the revenue for surface water bills, saving the city more than $10,000 according to Kristin Garcia, finance director. The new billing will begin Nov. 1 for October services. At this week’s Sept. 17 regular council meeting, a public hearing was planned on a development agreement with Baker-Mor LLC, for a housing project at 3905 172nd St. NE. The city of Arlington had requested that 40th Ave. NE be constructed as part of the project, but Baker-Mor LLC contested, noting that the full 60-foot right-of-way for the future 173rd Street NE had already been dedicated to the city from the subject property, and that the additional requirement to dedicate as well as construct 40th Ave. NE, “would be burdensome on the development,” according to council documents. In the proposed development agreement, city offi-
cials agreed to allow credit of mitigation fees to be applied to the construction of 40th Ave. NE. City code requires a public hearing before any decisions by City Council on development agreements. Also at this Monday’s meeting, council was scheduled to approve a right-of-way dedication for another housing project, the Villas at Arlington, on Smokey Point Boulevard at 31st Ave. NE, near the Stillaguamish Senior Center. According to the discussion at the workshop meeting, that project will require the demolition of one house. This Monday, Marc Hayes, the city’s director of Community & Economic Development, requested changes to a professional services agreement (PSA) with SAFEbuilt Washington, LLC, that was approved in 2017. Due to “unprecedented development activity … and the lack of available personnel,” a revised PSA with SAFEbuilt was required, to address the numerous inspection and review hours required to keep pace with current projects, Hayes said. We “came to an agreement that their services would be reduced to 70 percent of the permit and review fees, down from the current 75 percent, with city staff providing 30 percent of the services. “The hourly inspection fee of $100 would be incorporated into the 70 percent,” Hayes said in documents. “This places the responsibility in SAFEbuilt hands to review, inspect, document and create a project file, essentially from ‘cradle to grave.’” City staff will continue to review and inspect smaller projects such as single family residences, tenant improvements, re-models and so on, at 100 percent. At the Sept. 10 workshop meeting, council reviewed the city’s plan for use of funds from the new Ambulance Utility Fee. As part of the approval process, council requested regular reviews of the public safety resourcing plan that will be implemented over the next three years. Council will review projected revenues and expenses associated with the new ambulance utility. The plan includes strategies for hiring new police and fire personnel and equipment in the next two years, as discussed at the March 2018 Council Retreat, when council reviewed a three-year resourcing plan for public safety along with financial options to fill the funding gap in the EMS Program. Council approved the formation of an Ambulance Utility on Aug. 6.

the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce. The Harvey Creek Band provided music at the Legion Park stage while local farms sold produce, flowers and other products. A beer garden and multiple food trucks also provided dinner and drink. "The food trucks are a really big hit," said Egger, "I keep seeing people pass by with some food that looks amazing." The food also attracted more to the Harvest Festival. "We smelled the good food and thought 'well, we're coming over,'" said local Becca Maucher. "We just came over. We were very surprised that it was even going on. We heard the good music," said local Randy Maucher. The chamber brought in a number of vendors they've worked with at other events. "We have our farmers market vendors here and the Skookum Brewery and Elemental Brewery, which is the new place that is going in next to Skookum," said Egger. A pumpkin patch at the festival was also raising money for Arlington Police

Department's K-9 program. "It's just a fun mix of stuff I think," said Egger. Many said they liked seeing the community at the festival. "We just wanted to come out for a community event and the weather is nice," said local parent Stephanie Rix. Egger said that the response to the festival has been pretty positive so far. "It's fabulous. We were really excited about the re-
sponse that we saw on Facebook and we're really lucky that we got this amazing stage that the Downtown Arlington Business Association helped fund," she said. "The stage just gives us this great resource to be able to use this park for some different stuff and we're really excited about that," she said. Egger said the festival is something that the chamber will consider again for next year.
"We'll see how successful it is at the end of the night, but I think even an hour into it we're thinking 'yeah, we could do this again next year,'" she said. They are considering working with the Downtown Arlington Business Association to put together a possible multi-day fall festival, she said.

Viking fun, history featured at local festival By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com The Northwest Viking Festival celebrated Scandinavian heritage and history with re-enactors, family activities and other demonstrations in Arlington on Sept. 15 and 16. The event is successor to the Arlington Viking Festival, which ran for the last three years in downtown Arlington's Legion Park. The festival is being run by Skagit County nonprofit Norse by Northwest. "The festival was defunded by the Downtown Arlington Business Association because it wasn't sustainable. Our organization saw the outcry from the community of Arlington and being a heathen-based nonprofit we thought 'why are we letting our culture die?'" said Shauna Olds, coordinator of this year's festival and a member of Norse by Northwest. "So we picked it up knowing that we might not make any mon-
ey," she said. A number of families activities were available at the festival, including archery and other historical demonstrations. Olds said that people liked the kids booth, the forges (including a white forge that handles metals like silver or gold) and the multiple weavers. "We have ton of a demonstrators this year and people are really digging the wool-dying," she said. Participants usually like the weapon demonstrations each year as well. "It's actually pretty fun, the kids have been having a great time. They got sword lessons and have been enjoying themselves," said parent Isis Roland. "I like that it celebrates different cultures," said Isis' daughter Athena Roland. Mariah Osborn said her child was enjoying the event as well. "I think it's been great, we love it," she said. Norse by Northwest is a non-
profit that's main mission is to support homeless individuals. Olds said that the organization tried to make sure there were enough free activities for low-income families to come to the event and still have fun. "Being homeless or poor is very hard on the kids and we don't want them to miss out. This event was set up so families had a way to make memories with their kids without any money," she said. It's a good way to make history engaging, said Olds. "That's what's important about these cultural festivals, that they can learn about their heritage, their history and gaining knowledge while making memories with their families," she said. This year's festival has had around 15 volunteers, 10 re-enactment groups and 40 vendors, said Olds. Toward the end of the first day Olds said they had met their attendance goal as well. "Last year at Arlington Viking

Festival we had about 1,200 to 1,500 attendees, and this year we have counted 800 cars," she said. The festival moved to Snohomish County's Twin Rivers Park this year in north Arlington. "Parking has been a little tough. We are considering other locations for next year, but it will still be in
Arlington," said Olds. "We're hoping that this will become an annual festival and a staple of the community," she said. More information about the Northwest Viking Festival and the non-profit Norse by Northwest is available at their website at norsebynorthwest.org.
