The Marysville Police Officer's Association kicked off their annual Coat Drive early this year by collecting coats at the Marysville Kohl's on Oct. 13. The coats are given out at the Marysville Toy Store which provides holiday toys to local low-income families in early December. Police officers will continue collecting coats through November at three later dates. Those dates include Oct. 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Marysville Walmart at 8713 64th St. NE, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lakewood Marshalls at 16414 Twin Lakes Ave., and Nov. 10 from noon to 4 p.m. at the Marysville Fred Meyer at 9925 State Ave.

Arlington School District officials talked about recent efforts to improve student safety and security at the first of three public forums on Oct. 11. They also listened to feedback from local community members and encourage those who have opinions about school safety to attend one of their remaining forums on Oct. 16 at Arlington High School at 6 p.m. or on Oct. 25 at Post Middle School at 6 p.m. Officials talked about what they have done and what they are hoping to do.

Executive director of operations Brian Lewis talked about district employees changing the structure of buildings to make crime less likely to occur. “It is an approach to help us deter criminals both inside and outside the building,” he said. Surveillance is one of the ways to do this, he said, such as the recent cutting of low hanging branches from trees at Weston High School. “Nobody has an opportunity to hide out

The Marysville Police Officer's Association runs the drive to support local kids. "Being in the schools we see the need," said Marysville Police Sergeant Rick Sparr, who is one of the organizers of this year's coat drive. "We know that there is a need for kids in particular to have warm clothing in the wintertime. For us, working in the schools, we see it all the time where it will be 30 degrees or lower and they're wearing shorts and short sleeves sometimes," said Marysville School Resource Officer Angie Fawks, another organizer of this year's coat drive. Fawks said she enjoys taking part in the coat drive so that she can help people her community. "I like interacting with the community and talking with people, knowing that we can help children and families that are in need,"

she said. "Maybe they only have enough money for one coat and if that coat is lost or torn up, then they don't have a coat," she said. Local parent Jenny Lamie donated some items on Oct. 13 and also enjoys providing assistance to those in need. "We think it's cool. We were just saying that it's nice to be able to support the community," she said. Members of the Venom youth baseball club have also helped with the coat drive for a number of years, and will return to support the drive this year and collect coats. The coat drive started earlier this year and spread out across the city. "A lot of people are strapped for money around the holidays because they're buying and donating to so many organizations," said Fawks. Fawks said that they tried to hit all the parts of Marysville "so that people didn't have to drive a long badges themselves, so the money isn’t coming from taxpayer dollars for these,” he said. A portion of the sales for those pink badges goes to funding which supports breast cancer research and programs. The badges also help raise awareness as community members ask about

The coat drive only accepts new coats. Sparr said that used coats can be donated to local nonprofit organization Kloz 4 Kids. More information about that organization is available at 360-658-1021. The coats are collected and given to the Marysville Community Food Bank, said Fawks. The food bank and volunteers who run the Marysville Toy Store then give out the coats. It is being run at the Grove Church again this year and families who want more information on registering can contact the Marysville Community Food Bank at 360-658-1054.
why the officers are wearing the pink badges. “I can’t stress enough that it really is a good conversation starter and that people will come up to the officers just to talk about the badges,” said Ventura. Because of that, the pink badges help with community engagement as well, said Ventura, as people can get
to know their local police officers. The department’s second initiative is to allow officers to grow out their beards. The Arlington Police Department, like the majority of police departments, usually requires its officers to have clean shaven faces. Local officers who want to grow their beard have to make a donation to be able to, which goes toward charities relating to breast cancer. The initiative was inspired by No-Shave November and allows local officers to grow out their beard for a while. “We’ll probably keep that going into next month, with officers having to donate again,” said Ventura. No-Shave November is an annual program which focuses on men’s health issues. At the end of November local officers usually give out awards for things like ‘best beard’ said Ventura, so it helps the department have something to bond over. “It’s a huge morale boost as this is something officers don’t always get to do, and it’s also raising money for charity at the same time, so it’s a win-win,” said Ventura. Ventura said that the department wants to support causes like breast cancer as it is something that affects many people. For Ventura, he said it is a personal issue, as both his sister and mother-in-law are cancer survivors. “Just about everybody knows someone who has been affected by cancer,” he said. “We have some of our own law enforcement family that have been affected."

"Last year, with the cash donations and the donations of coats we got 365 coats, but we had over 1,200 items, which included gloves, hats and scarves, as well," said Sparr. Donations can also be dropped off at a police station. "If they can't make it to the one of the four coat drives but they want to bring coats to our police department, we'll take them," said Sparr.

Community can discuss MIC at open house The public will get a chance to discuss what they want from a Marysville-Arlington Manufacturing Industrial Center By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville and Arlington have completed the first draft of their plan for their Manufacturing Industrial Center and are looking for public feedback at an Oct. 17 open house. The open house will be held at Crown Distributing at 17117 59th Ave., Arlington, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A presentation and interactive session begins at 5:30 p.m. Officials from Arlington and Marysville are working to designate a large area near I-5 that includes large parts of Smokey Point and north Marysville as a Manufacturing Industrial Center. That designation, given by the Puget Sound Regional Council, would open up
funding for infrastructure and hopefully attract manufacturing jobs that local officials say will create familywage jobs in the area. Part of the requirement to become a Manufacturing Industrial Center is to create a subarea plan, said Dave Koenig, community development director with the city of Marysville. "We have now finished a draft of the plan for the Marysville-Arlington Manufacturing Industrial Center,” said Koenig. The subarea plan is meant to provide direction, so if it gets approved it doesn’t mean those directions will get immediately enacted. "It's a policy plan, so it isn't a list of specific actions that are going to be taken, but a list of goals for down the road,” said Koenig. Work on the subarea plan began earlier this year after an earlier public meeting in April, which was followed by stakeholder interviews, online community surveys and a technical ad-
visory committee. Koenig said that community members often talked about infrastructure as one area that they were concerned about, especially as it concerns traffic and transportation. "We looked into how to put improvement into the transportation network,” said Koenig. The plan includes future direction for road improvements and other means of transportation such as trails. "We're looking at Community Transit and how it's been involved in the area and what it can do in the future,” said Koenig. The plan also includes other infrastructure goals such as stormwater management. One of the other big concerns from the public was about the number of trained employees available in the area. "People have come forward and talked about the need for a highly skilled workforce,” said Koenig.
Public invited to Oct. 17 RFA Community Conversation 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 have a second opportunity to learn more about the process, ask questions and offer input. An ‘RFA Community Conversation’ is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 17, at 4 p.m., at Marysville Fire District Station #62, 10701 Shoultes Road. The regularly scheduled board of directors meeting will immediately follow. 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, voters will decide whether to form an RFA and if so, approve how it is funded.

The subarea plan contains some goals to work with local community colleges to get more education available to residents. The draft of the plan has to be approved by the city councils of both Arlington and Marysville. Before it goes through that approval process, local officials wanted to give the public a chance for another round of feedback, such as with their Oct. 17 open house. "We're hoping to see what the public thinks of what we put together,” said Koenig. More information about the Marysville Arlington Manufacturing Industrial Center plan is available at Marysville’s website at www. marysvillewa.gov/978.

Eagles defeat Tomahawks on the pitch By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com
The Arlington girls soccer team hosted the Marysville-Pilchuck Tomahawks for a tough match on Oct. 11. From the start of the match the Eagles came out with aggressiveness as they took multiple shots on goal over the first 10 minutes. The Tomahawks' defense stood tall and made some
impressive saves as they began to shift the momentum back in the second 10 minutes of the half. Through the rest of the first half both teams made runs deep into opponent territory, but the Eagles managed to earn a penalty kick and convert it for the first score in the 36th minute. The second half was more of the same as both teams competed back and forth with a tremendous
amount of physicality. The second goal of the game came from a quick run up the middle of the Tomahawks’ defense, and the Eagles extended their lead 2-0 with 14 minutes left in the match. MarysvillePilchuck refused to give up as they pressured the Arlington defense and scored their first goal in the 74th minute. Unfortunately for the Tomahawks, they couldn’t manage another

late-game score and the Eagles walked away with the 2-1 victory. “We had a lot of dangerous balls in the box and had a lot of opportunities to score from beginning to end. We’re looking to keep improving over the last couple of games because we are so young. And if we win out, we can get into the playoffs, who knows,” said Arlington Head Coach Nathan Davis. The Eagles were led by Hannah Hiester, Jersey Heiss, Jordan Bartlow and Lexi Miller-Wood. Hiester scored the first goal of the game off of the penalty and played a key role in the middle of the field. Heiss scored the second goal of the night to put the Eagles up 2-0. Bartlow assisted on the goal scored by Heiss and spent a lot of time with the ball all night as she was pivotal in shifting the offense during their possessions. The freshman keeper, Miller-Wood, had a great night as she picked up a handful of saves and held a shutout until the last six minutes of the game. “I liked the way the girls worked, and I think we were a little unlucky near the end. We need to work on our ability to shift, clean some stuff up and put

the ball in the net, that’s about it,” said MarysvillePilchuck Head Coach Paul Bartley. Marysville-Pilchuck was led by their offensive duo of Trina Davis and Mackensie Connelly, as well as their defensive leader Brynn Pilkenton. Davis scored the lone goal for the Tomahawks late in the second half and Connelly played a key role in being the primary facilitator for the offense. Pilkenton made a lot
of big plays all over the field as she contested every Eagles possession and made a few plays to shift momentum late. If you want to support the Eagles their last home match will be against the Oak Harbor Wildcats on Thursday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. Or if you want to root on the Tomahawks their last home game will be on the same night as they will be taking on the Everett Seagulls.

Marysville-Pilchuck’s 200-yard medley relay team of Maddy Sulya, Katelyn Leary, Jennica Harper and Alexis Bennett dominated across the entire meet. They finished in second place with a time of 2:10.70 and also competed together in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a second-place finish, 1:58.60. Sulya competed solo in the 100-yard butterfly on a third-place finish, 1:19.65, as well as the 200yard freestyle with a firstplace finish, 2:30.75. Leary took the victory in the 100-yard butterfly, 1:07.30, and earned second place in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 6:35.67.

Lakewood pummels Orting 41-6 By Andrew Hines sports@northcountyoutlook.com The Lakewood football team had their homecoming game as they battled it out on the gridiron with the Orting Cardinals on Oct. 12. From the kickoff the Cougars began to dominate on both sides of the ball. Orting couldn’t move the ball on the Lakewood defense and were forced to punt early in the first quarter. After a few short runs, the Cougars put the first points on the board with a huge 53-yard bomb over the top of the Cardinals' defense. With a successful twopoint conversion they went into the second quarter up 8-0. In the second quarter, the Cougars started to take more shots through the air as they kept scoring consistently. Through the rest of the first half Lakewood maintained their shutout while putting up two more touchdowns through the air. They went into halftime up 21-0 over the Cardinals. Early in the second half Orting finally got on the board after creating a turnover deep in Lakewood territory. After a short run, and a blocked PAT, the Cardinals began to close the gap with a score of 21-6. Through the rest of the half Lakewood made sure to keep the foot on the pedal and were able to dominate Orting as they finished with a score of 41-6. “[Jared Taylor] makes you look like a good coach in a hurry because when things break down he can make something happen. He’s an accurate passer, a dynamic threat running the ball and he makes our offense go,” said Lakewood
Head Coach Dan Teeter. Jared Taylor, junior quarterback, was a huge factor on the Lakewood offense. He finished with a total of six touchdowns, four through the air and two on the ground, while only committing two turnovers. He also put up 134 rushing yards on 20 carries and 338 passing yards on 26 completions of 37 attempts. The Cougars had weapons all over the field but Michai Harris, Ian Ware and Landon Pruitt made a big impact. Harris, senior wide receiver, finished with 145 receiving yards on eight receptions and also grabbed two touchdowns. Ware, senior wide receiver, came down with four receptions for 50 yards and one touchdown. Pruitt, junior running back, finished with a total of 57 all-purpose yards. “We came out of this healthy and
we’ll work on the little things. After looking at film, we’ll tune a few things up and look at trying to get our first win in the Sky Division over BurlingtonEdison,” said Coach Teeter The Lakewood defense was led by Spencer Neiffer, Jack Legore, Tavion Henderson and Derek Robbins. Neiffer, senior captain linebacker, and Legore, sophomore linebacker, were huge in the middle of the defense as they led the team in tackles and organized the team. Henderson, senior defensive back, grabbed the one interception of the day for the Cougars as well as a few pass deflections. Robbins, sophomore linebacker, rotated in throughout the game and picked up the only fumble recovery for Lakewood.

Halloween events for kids of all ages By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Halloween festivities will be available at multiple events for children and for adults in Marysville and Arlington this year. Those events include trick-or-treating on Marysville’s downtown Third Street, Arlington Assembly’s Fall Festival and Ar-
lington’s Hometown Halloween. The second year of the Monster Mash at the Marysville Opera House will also be held this year, which is an event for those 21 years of age or older. Arlington Hometown Halloween The annual Hometown Halloween events return this year on Oct. 27 with a

number of activities, such as the pumpkin rolling. “People can come up the Third Street hill and meet with Youth Dynamics and then roll the pumpkins down the hill for prizes,” said Sarah Lopez, Arlington's community revitalization project manager. “The pumpkin roll is always fun to watch the kids running up and down the hill,” she said. That event is held from 11 a.m. to noon. At noon kids can head down to Olympic Avenue where local businesses are handing out candy until 1 p.m. “I think the families like interacting with the downtown businesses,” said Lopez. This year the Arlington School of Dance will also give a demonstration. “People can head over to the stage at Legion Park where the Arlington School of Dance will be putting on a performance at 12:45 p.m.” said Lopez. The Arlington Arts Council's annual costume contest begins at 1 p.m., also at the Legion Park

Stage. Arlington Hardware’s Pumpkin Decorating Contest will be judged at 1:30 p.m. Marysville Merchants Trick-or-Treating The Downtown Marysville Merchants Association will again host trickor-treating on Halloween from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. “We have some new businesses that are going to be here and open for the event,” said Lorene Wren, member of the association and owner of downtown business Wrenhaven Vintage Market. She said that the business owners enjoy putting on a costume and handing out candy. “We run this to give back to the community. We
have great customers and we look forward to doing this every year,” she said. People also enjoy seeing the shopkeepers, she said. “They are our customers and it’s fun for them to see us in costume,” said Wren. Parents also appreciate a trick-or-treating location that they know is safe for Halloween, she said. Arlington Assembly Fall Festival The Arlington church at 201 N. Stillaguamish Ave., often holds a free festival event on Halloween and continues the tradition this year. “This is an event for the community and we like to open our church up and have people come in,” said Amy Findley, who serves on the festival leadership NEW

The event will be held on Halloween from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. “We’re going to have pony rides, a food truck that people can get food from and many, many game stations,” said Findley. “The kids can play the games and get lots of candy,” she said.

It will be from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and costs $15 per person. This is the second year for the Monster Mash. Lauren Woodmansee, cultural arts supervisor with Marysville’s Parks, Culture and Recreation Department, said that last year’s event went well. “They had a good time last year. It was a local event with a lot of great music,” she said. “The Opera House is the perfect venue for it and we were able to put up a lot of cool decorations." This year Seattle band The Mix will be playing. “They have a lot of great music from the ‘70s to the present,” said Woodmansee.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring, right, presents the Volunteer of the Month award to Kim Shumway.
Shumway is Marysville's Volunteer of the Month Congratulations are in order for Kim Shumway who was honored by Mayor Jon Nehring as Volunteer of the Month at the Sept. 24 meeting of the Marysville City Council. Shumway is the concessions manager for the Red Curtain Arts Center, where she volunteers up to 50 hours per month managing concessions inventory, staffing events and pouring wine and beer. Revenue from concessions is critical to Red Curtain’s nonprofit operations. “Your contributions and dedication to the Red Cur-
tain Foundation for the Arts promote accessibility and appreciation of the visual and performing arts in our community,” Mayor Nehring said in presenting the award. Shumway was nominated for the award by Beckye and Scott Randall, Red Curtain’s business manager and founder/artististic director. “Kim is trustworthy, dedicated and gracious to our patrons and her fellow volunteers,” Beckye Randall wrote. “Her service is tremendously important to Red Curtain’s mission.” Shumway also is a leader with the local Girl Scouts.

The Stilly Valley Collective is about to open and it will provide business space, office space and classroom space for small businesses. The collective is the latest project from the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce, which is also moving their offices into the collective. The location at 103 Third St., Arlington, is in the downtown area. “We have been thinking of ways the Chamber could more proactively serve the community, and one of the things we kept running up against is lack of space to do something,” said Jennifer Egger, executive director of the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce. “One day we wandered over here and thought ‘this building has been sitting empty for a while,’” she said. Upon investigating they thought it would be a good fit for this project from the chamber. There are a dozen private offices that small businesses can rent, as well boardroom space and classroom space that can be rented by the hour.

Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Jennifer Egger and member Mary Andersen at the lobby of the new Stilly Valley Collective on Oct. 11. The collective is meant to be a transition space for small businesses, so they can “come in here, grow, gain a network of support and then be able to move into a storefront space or a bigger office because they need more employees,” said Egger. The location already has a few clients that are moving in, she said. “There is a couple that opened a travel agency that specializes in travel to Tuscany and they were working out of their kitchen. By moving into this place they have a great place to meet with their clients,” Egger said. Jamie Sawdon, co-owner of Emergency Medical Education, and her husband were some of the first clients to move it. Their business helps medical professionals obtain or renew certifications and also provides CPR and first aid training to the public. “We’ve done this out of house for the past three years and my husband wanted to get out into the community so we could bring people here for classes,” she said. “It’s very exciting. It will get our name out there, and to have an actual location is very helpful,” she said. Egger hopes it’s a place that small businesses can

grow and also help each other. “Not only is it going to allow these small businesses a place to get a foothold and grow, but it’s going to be a good place where nonprofits can meet or people can share their talents and potentially make a little money,” she said. There will be the potential for pop-up retail space and/or a coffee shop at the location in the future as well, said Egger. Other future improvements may include things like space for kids. Chamber member and working mother Mary Andersen said that a place where her kids could play and she could work would be a huge advantage. “This is something that a lot of people need,” Anderson said. “Being able to have a place for the kids would be great, but that’s the next level. We’re not really close to making that a reality yet,” she said.

The downtown Arlington building is more than a century old, although the majority of it has had renovations since it was built. It’s currently owned by Reaction Physical Therapy and was formerly used by the Advanced Orthopedic Institute. Reaction Physical Therapy is still there, although most of the building is being used for the Stilly Valley Collective now. The Visitors Information Center that the Stilly Valley Chamber of Commerce runs will continue, and Egger said moving the chamber’s offices out will give more room at the center. Egger said that the collective was a big move for the chamber. “You have to be bold sometimes,” she said.

It important to think about oral health as Halloween approaches With Halloween around the corner comes scary costumes, jack-o’-lanterns and of course candy, so it is as important as ever to think about oral health. All those sugary treats can do damage to the teeth and gums. That is not to say that candy should be avoided entirely as trick-or-treating is an integral part of the holiday fun for children. It just means it is a time to be vigilant about keeping up with oral hygiene, limiting other sources of sugars and making candy choices wisely. Cavities are a result of bacteria in the mouth, specifically Streptococcus mutans, that when left unchecked by inadequate oral hygiene will build up forming plaque on teeth. Then upon food consumption the Streptococcus mutans colonies break down carbohydrates by fermentation secreting acid as a by-product. It is that acid which dissolves the mineral surface of teeth known as enamel leading to soft spots and eventually dental caries. The acid forming bacteria can use sugars such as sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, and mannose as well as sugar alcohols such as mannitol and sorbitol to produce acid. To make matters worse, Streptococcus mutans thrives in a low pH so by secreting acid it is creating an ideal environment for the species to overgrow further making for a nasty cycle. Our bodies naturally try to counter the pH shift and resulting damage that happens with eating in the time between meals. Salvia sweeps away leftover food particles and contains minerals such as calcium and phosphorus that remineralize the enamel. Thus, besides being uncomfortable, having dry mouth is an issue that needs to be addressed as there is a potentially higher risk of developing cavities. Another thing that interferes with the body’s protection and repair mechanisms is frequent snacking. When we eat between meals the amount of time our teeth are subject to a low pH and demineralization increases and the time for healing decreases. Cavities are one of the most common diseases for both children and adults, but they are especially prevalent in children. This is due to various reasons; from a misconception of the importance of baby teeth, inadequate oral hygiene, or too much snacking. In reality dental disease of baby teeth can damage permanent teeth and although we like to think kids do a good job brushing their teeth, they usually need supervision until 6 to 8 years old. It isn’t all about kids though; dental health in adults is just as important. Oral disease has been linked to cardiovascu-
Dr. Jennalyn McBride lar disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, osteoporosis, pre-term birth, and autoimmune disease. Your mouth is also the place where digestion starts and there is growing evidence that oral disease is associated with gut dysbiosis and disorders. So what can you do to prevent cavities for yourself or your family? Maintain good oral hygiene: n Brush twice daily – for kids this should start at the eruption of their 1st tooth. n Floss daily – for kids this should start as soon as two teeth are touching. n Visit the dentist every 6 months – the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids see a pediatric dentist by 1 year old. n Use a toothpaste with minerals such as calcium
and phosphorus for remineralization and L-arginine, an amino acid that may have anti-cavity and desensitizing benefits. n Use mouthwash or as a natural alternative practice oil pulling with sesame oil. n Replace toothbrush every 3 months. Dietary/Lifestyle Recommendations: n Avoid sugary drinks like soda and juice – an alternative is diluted unsweetened cranberry juice which can inhibit bacterial adhesion to teeth. n Limit sources of sugars such as cakes, cookies, donuts, pastries, ice-cream, custards, etc., as well as refined carbs such as crackers, pretzels, breads, etc. — although natural sugars and complex carbs are better, if cavity-prone then even limiting fruits, grains and potatoes can be helpful n Substitute cane sugar with stevia — Streptococcus mutans does not ferment the steviol glycosides so it can be used as a sweetener without contributing to cavities plus it will not affect blood sugar levels. n Limit snacking between meals and don’t eat after brushing your teeth before bed. n Chew sugarless/xylitol
gum – this can increase saliva production plus Streptococcus mutans does not ferment xylose/xylitol. n Use oral probiotics – this can help to maintain a healthy bacterial balance in the mouth minimizing Streptococcus mutans. Halloween Specific Rec-

Tax would fund new emergency radio system By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Snohomish County’s emergency radio system is nearly at its expiration date
and a 0.1 percent sales tax increase on this November’s ballot would allow for a replacement of that system. The Snohomish County

tion between 911 dispatchers and local police officers, firefighters and other emergency services. If passed the funds would go to Snohomish County, however that money can only be used for emergency communication services by state law. SERS would likely be the biggest priority for those funds, said Brad Steiner, executive director for the organization. “It really is for everyone. Since we’re the primary communication service we’re likely first on the list, but it’s not just for us,” he said. In the future, other jurisdictions could request some of those funds for special projects, said Steiner. The current radio system was first purchased in 2001. “While we have done a couple of upgrades, there’s only been minimal work done,” said Steiner. “Now we’re at the point where the majority of the system is going to run into its expiration date,” he said. Because of the age of the system, replacement parts are getting harder to acquire. “If I wanted to buy a new radio, and I’m talking here about the things that we put on the mountaintops, our manufacturer doesn’t make them anymore,” said Steiner. They have been informed that in 2020 their
manufacturer will not be able to provide any more spare parts, he said. “So if something were to break, we’re on our own,” said Steiner. The current radio system sometimes has problems as well, according to local officials. “We work off a system that is almost 20 years old and that has shown some wear and tear and some gaps,” said Marysville Fire District Fire Chief Martin McFalls. He pointed to the Big Four Ice Caves collapse in 2016. “There were some communication issues during that rescue because of the radio tower,” he said. Jonathan Ventura, Arlington’s Police Chief, also said they have seen occasional failures. “Not to cry wolf, but we are starting to see critical failures in the system,” he said. “There have been times we’ve lost communications, now, thankfully, we still have redundancies so we’ve always been able to restore it fairly quickly, but that is a problem,” he said. A new radio system would likely be a big technological upgrade for local emergency responders as well. “You think back to the kinds of computers Apple was making in 2001 and they were very different, just for example,” said Steiner.
“Like most of technology, it has only gotten better over the last 20 years,” said Ventura. Ventura said that it is a vital part of emergency response that needs to be replaced, although he understands many community members are tired of taxes. “It is a very expensive system and people are taxed to death so I sympathize with that,” he said. “There are some people who say to me ‘well, we should have planned our budget 20 years ago to replace this,’ and I understand that viewpoint,” he said. Steiner said that SERS works through approximately 40 different agencies throughout the county. “Working with those 40 agencies to collect for a rainy day fund is simply impossible to coordinate,” he said. SERS does not have the power to force collection and the different emergency response departments vary wildly in size, budget and financial stability, said Steiner. If passed the tax will last indefinitely, which Steiner said will allow the organization to create a reserve fund for future replacements. “By moving to something we can plan with, we can do more than we have ever in the past,” he said. If not passed, the system will still likely need to be replaced, and Steiner said the funding option most likely would be requesting funds from the Snohomish County emergency response departments. “It’s going to fall back on the individual agencies to collect and pay for this and that is going to be a humongous burden,” said McFalls. With the tax proposition “it will be paid for by every user in the county,” he said. Much of the cost for a new system comes from the fact that you can’t replace a single component, said Steiner, and it will need to be replaced all at once. If the proposition passes, Steiner said it will still take about three years to completely install the new system. Ballots for this November’s election are scheduled to be mailed out on Oct. 18 and are due by Nov. 6.

Unity Month continues with Kindness Dance
By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Tulalip Youth Services continue their third annual “Unity Month” with efforts to promote kindness and anti-bullying by holding a Kindness Dance on Oct. 11. “For the month of October it’s Unity Month and each week has a theme” relating to mental health and well-being, said Deyamonta Diaz, one of the organizers of the event. The first week was about suicide prevention, while the second week was about promoting kindness. Tulalip employees hoped to do a little more for this week than they have in the past. “Since we started this for the elementary level we’ve done flyers and promotional stuff, but this year we wanted to have an event to make them feel good and welcome them,” said Diaz. Malory Simpson, one of the organizers of the event, said that they began looking for a more active event for local students. “It just started out by looking up things we could do for kindness week and
seeing what other cities and states are doing,” she said. The dance at Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary was meant to bring kids together and have a good time. “As long as I’ve been here I don’t think we’ve ever had a dance. It’s something different to get the kids active and hopefully promote kindness,” she said. Other staff members said that it’s been a while since any kind of dance was held at the elementary school. “We haven’t done the dance before. We were actually talking with the school staff and they said this is the first dance that they’ve had in a while and it is something that the kids are hopefully looking forward to,” said Diaz. Organizers hoped that the kids would appreciate the positive event and get to know each other. “Hopefully it’s opening more relationships between the kids,” said Simpson. “We have some activities like going out and talking to someone you don’t know or complimenting your neighbor that we’re going to do,” she said.

Nickolas Hatley dances at the Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary gymnasium at the Kindness Dance on Oct. 11. Diaz also hoped that the dance would make students feel safe in their school and trusting of the people around them. “The main thing is enjoying the event and feeling like their school is a safe, fun, caring environment,” said Diaz. “So they can feel like it is a second home to
them. They are at school for a lot of their day and we want them to feel like it is a place that they want to be,." Tulalip Youth Services are running more activities through the month of October in honor of Unity Month and the full list is available at tulalipyouthservices.com.

Sarah recently completed an internship position with the City of Marysville Prosecutor’s Office, where she appeared frequently in Court on criminal misdemeanor court dockets.

n SECRETS OF THE TULALIP CHEFS
Chardonnay Poached Pear Salad When you think of fall flavors, what foods come to mind? For me, images of pears, apples, pumpkins and squash dance before my eyes shouting for attention Pick me! Pick me! Although each of those dancing ingredients presents plenty of playful options, pears are what interest me the most for this recipe. And with the colorful months of autumn upon us, I am inspired to do a creative, colorful salad featuring seasonal Bosc pears. To add a twist to the poached pears, I’ve taken a traditional dessert poached pear recipe and modified to be a more savory version for this salad recipe. For the optional salmon lox, visit your local grocery market to purchase an already prepared high-quality lox. If you want to really impress your guests, you can take the extra time to make your own sockeye salmon lox for the salad - follow this link to one of my lox recipes. The salad is designed

This leaves a lot of “white space” around the salad, which helps accentuate the beauty of the salad and really helps to make the colors come alive before your eyes. And lastly, the drops of chive oil add an extra visual flair as well as flavor. I especially like the artistic plate presentation on this dish. Enjoy!

Simmer at about 180 degrees F heat until tender. The pears are done when a toothpick can be inserted into them with little resistance, which is similar to testing a baked potato.

Two one-act plays deliver twice the comedy Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts presents two one-act comedies — “The Real Inspector Hound” by Tom Stoppard, and “The Actor’s Nightmare” by Christopher Durang — Oct. 19-Nov. 4 at the Red Curtain Arts Center, 9315 State Ave. #J, in Marysville. "The Real Inspector Hound" follows two theater critics, Birdboot and Moon, who are watching a ludicrous setup of a country house murder mystery in the style of a "whodunit." They become involved in the action, causing a series of events that parallel the play they are watching. This absurdist comedy examines the ideas of fate and free will. "The Actor's Nightmare" is a comic play that introduces us to George Spelvin, an accountant who is somehow mistaken for an actor's understudy and forced to perform in a play for which he doesn't know any of the lines. The abstract play was inspired by dreams

Directed by Joe Goins, the two plays share one cast, which includes Dave Morrison, Morgan Peeler, Jeryn Pasha, Lydia O’Day, Jeannine Early, David Persson, Mike Merz, and Jesse Collins. Performances are Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Red Curtain Arts Center, 9315 State Ave, Suite J, in the Goodwill shopping center, behind the EvCC cosmetology school. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 for seniors (62+), students and military personnel.

the front doors locked and when a person wants to get in the building, they push the button and speak through the microphone,” he said. At one of the district’s elementary schools and one middle school the district is also piloting a new program from SafeVisitor Solutions, said Gary Sabol, Arlington School District’s director of communications. The program prints visitor badges which expire after one day and also automatically runs a background check on visitors. Sabol said other technology solutions, like School Messenger, help the district more quickly inform parents of situations that happen at school. The SafeSchools Reporting Tip Line also provides students a way to provide anonymous tips of harassment or other problems. Sabol said that students are encouraged to inform their teachers, principals or other staff, if they are comfortable with that, but if they are not the tip line provides another option.
“As soon as they submit this, Brian [Lewis] and myself get an alert and we receive these at all hours of the night and day,” said Sabol. Assistant Superintendent Kathy Ehman said that the district was focused on the emotional well-being of the children as well. “One of the things that is critical, especially in this day and age, is to really develop trust,” she said. “Students need to feel that it is a safe place for them emotionally." The district has been training teachers on adverse childhood experiences, which are experiences that often cause emotional trauma and can interfere with someone’s behavioral development. “Their brain chemistry and the development of the brain can be very different, so the standard traditional approaches need to be modified,” said Ehman. For students of all ages more mental health support systems are needed, she said. “Mental health services
for children have been lacking and is one of the things over and over that teachers and administrators have been saying,” she said. “Recently we’ve been working with Hospital District No. 3 and they have a mental health counselor come into two of our elementary schools,” said Ehman. They are also working with Smokey Point Behavioral Hospital to provide more mental health services
for high school students. “Sometimes families don’t have access or the ability to get children that help,” said Ehman. Arlington School District Superintendent Chrys Sweeting encourages local parents to provide their feedback about how to improve the safety and security of local schools. “As you know, we have not arrived, so we need your feedback about our practices,” she said.

Fire destroys garage Fire destroyed a detached garage at a home in the 3900 block of 119th Place NE on Oct. 12. Quick action from Marysville firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to nearby homes. Firefighters were dispatched to the fire shortly after 2:40 p.m. and arrived to find a detached garage on the property fully engulfed in flames, with fire also spreading to nearby trees. Responding crews kept the fire
contained to the area immediately surrounding the garage, protecting the home on that property and another home immediately to the south. The garage is a total loss along with a car inside the garage. Preliminary damage estimates are between $75,000 and $100,000. No one was injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation by Marysville Police in conjunction with the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office.
Crews from the Marysville Fire were able to prevent the fire that destroyed this garage from spreading to a nearby home.
vaccinating your whole family
Fall is here, which means school, football and flu. Flu illness has begun circulating in Washington communities and flu vaccine is now widely available to protect everyone in the family. “Getting vaccinated every year against the flu is essential to protecting yourself and your family from this very serious illness,” said Dr. Kathy Lofy, State Health Officer. “Flu vaccines to protect you this fall and winter are available at many pharmacies and healthcare providers. Everyone 6 months and older, even healthy teens and young adults, should get vaccinated.” Flu is a highly contagious and serious disease that can cause moderate to severe illness, and can lead to hospitalization and even be fatal. Last flu season, 296 people in Washington died from influenza-related conditions; thousands were sickened, and thousands more were hospitalized. Young children, pregnant women, people with

chronic health conditions and people 65 years and older are at higher risk from complications of flu. However, anyone can get flu, including healthy young people. “Last year was one of the most severe flu seasons on record for Washington, and data just released shows only 61 percent of Washington children and teens were vaccinated. It’s important for us to protect each other this year. Flu vaccine is available everywhere. Don’t wait – get the vaccine for protection now,” Dr. Lofy added. Washington provides all recommended vaccines at no cost for kids from birth through age 18, available

through health care providers across the state. Providers may charge an office visit fee or a vaccine administration fee, however any family that can’t afford to pay can ask that the administration fee be waived. For help finding a health care provider or an immunization clinic, or to learn the signs and symptoms of flu, visit KnockOutFlu.org. Weekly reports throughout flu season track flu activity in Washington. Influenza tests are not routinely reported to state health, however selected hospitals, labs and health care facilities voluntarily submit information to help monitor activity and impact in our state.

APS uses new visitor management system Arlington Public Schools is using a new visitor management system called SafeVisitor Solutions. Visitor management systems strengthen safety and security in schools by conducting an instant background check on all visitors, creating an electronic visitor log, and streamlining the volunteer approval process. Eagle Creek Elementary and Haller Middle School are the first schools to use the system in September, with all other schools following in October. “Currently, volunteers and visitors sign a paper log and receive a visitor badge when entering our schools,” said Brian Lewis, Executive Director of Operations for Arlington Public Schools. “With the new system, visitors will be asked to show
a state issued identification like a driver’s license, or answer a few questions about their name. Their names are checked against the National Sex Offender Registry and, once cleared, staff print a self-expiring name badge for the visitor that cannot be reused.” This system also simplifies the volunteer background check process. Volunteers will be asked to complete an on-line application, review the district’s volunteer policy and expectations, and answer questions about their identity and criminal history. By completing the online application, volunteers submit their names for a Washington State Patrol background check. Once approved, volunteers will be sent an email with a barcode they

allows volunteers to store their approval barcode on their phones. The app barcode can also be used to print a badge at their school.
To complete an application, volunteers can go to the school district’s website, select “Community” and then “Volunteering.”
“The purpose of the system is to further improve the safety and security of our students, staff and visitors,” said Lewis.

Our Favorite Quotes "Bullies want to abuse you. Instead of allowing that, you can use them as your personal motivators. Power up and let the bully eat your dust." Author — Nick Vujicic Submitted by North County Outlook editor Scott Frank.
n LETTERS TO THE EDITOR I support Cantwell for U.S. Senate I watched the U.S. Senate candidates debate on Channel 5 which was handled excellently as each candidate was allowed only a short time frame to respond to the questions. My vote is for Maria Cantwell, Democrat, as she answered the questions truthfully and in my opinion her work in Congress proves she works for all of the state of Washington citizens both Democrat and Republican. Our state has a large diversity of businesses, various foods, both from our land and our sea, and technology. For years our foods have been shipped to other countries and our technology is known all over the world, Boeing and Microsoft, as well as other businesses that work with other countries. Our country doesn’t need any more large tariffs on foods, tax increases so
the rich can get richer while the average citizen gets poorer. Virginia Carpenter Tulalip
Vote for the person, not the party I’m voting Democrat and Republican. The bitter partisanship in D.C. this year has shown me how much I don't want that to become a reality in Olympia, or more importantly Snohomish County. In the 39th District Pos. 1 race I am voting for Republican Robert Sutherland. Sutherland is a dedicated community activist that taps into true issues locals care about from taxes, to property rights and car tabs. Sutherland has been on the ballot before and if you go to his campaign website, you will see a display of his dedication to the issues he believes locals are concerned about. If you view it for yourself, you will see he is serious, which is
what we need. In the Pos. 2 race I am voting for Democrat Eric Halvorson. Halvorson was a surprise in my primary pamphlet, and after looking at his website I learned that he is something Democrats need in our state as Seattlestyle Democrats (spend now, ask questions later) are creeping into Olympia. He is openly against the income tax, pro 2A (Republicans are you listening?), and he does this while holding onto blue state values that we want to keep in our state, like LGBT rights, legal marijuana and women's rights. Halvorson and his wife run an animal shelter out of their home as well. Both men are family men with children. Fierce tribalism in our parties will only lead to our parties becoming more radical and ultimately more distasteful. Mitigate this by voting for the person not the party. Avery Hufford Arlington

Your ideas are of value to us and we want and need your input to help us make your community Festival bigger and better than before. Thank you, in advance, for your support. Cheryl Deckard
