Local school districts have begun meal programs to help provide children with a supply of food during the shutdown caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19). Marysville and Arlington school districts began with programs at their schools on March 16 and were slated to expand their programs in the week of March 23. The programs are purely "grab-and-go," so students can come pick up some food and eat elsewhere. "There was some confusion on the first days," said Jodi Runyon, director of outreach and engagement with the Marysville School District, and parents thought it was a sitdown lunch. Due to the guidelines from Gov. Jay Inslee and the Snohomish Health District, schools are not supposed to create large gatherings, said Runyon, so the meals are picked up outside on the curb. The school meals are available, even for

Marysville Historical Society cancels auction By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com

The Marysville Historical Society is in a tough spot after canceling their 17th annual Spring Tea and Silent Auction. Due to the coronavirus and the subsequent mandates from Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee the local nonprofit canceled the event. The Tea and Auction is usually held in April and typically raises funds to keep the Marysville Historical Society's museum running for more than half the year. Marysville Historical Society board member Dawn Robertson said the organization typically makes $9,000 to $10,000. "Our heart is breaking that we're so stuck right now," said Robertson. "Obviously this is an uncontrollable circumstance."
The society's museum at 6805 Armar Road was completed in 2016 and the auction was used to raise funds for the construction of the building. "Now it goes to pay for our mortgage and for all the expenses of running this space, such as keeping the lights on and keeping the phone bill paid," said Robertson. The museum serves the community as a gathering place and helps preserve local history. "What really excites us are the displays that were cycle in and out," said Robertson, which often include artifacts that have been donated by longtime community residents. "We often have the opportunity to bring in students," to learn about the history of Marysville as well, added Robertson. See MUSEUM on page 11

students who do not go to school in the district, and no paperwork or money is required to receive a meal. The Arlington School District began with meals at Arlington High School and Presidents Elementary, but will expand with 10 pickup locations. Those sites are the Lutheran church in Silvana, Arlington Heights Community Club, Oso Fire Station, Bryant Community Grange, Angel of the Winds Casino south parking lot, Sisco Heights Church, Kent Prairie Elementary School, Mobile Estates, High Clover at 47th Avenue and High Clover Boulevard and the Trafton General Store. Those sites will be open from 9:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. "Our order form will be available online," said Brian Lewis, executive director of operations for the Arlington School District. Parents can pre-order for a specific day or for every day in a week. Presidents Elementary and Arlington High School will continue providing meals from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Marysville School District is also providing meals
at all of their K-12 school sites from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Beginning March 23 they began taking meals out to students along every elementary school bus route. "We now have bus routes and set up a time schedule for every route," said Mike Sullivan, director of finance for the Marysville School District. "For any student that comes to their stop they will receive a meal," he said. The earliest stops will happen around 10:10 a.m. and the latest will be around 12:40 p.m., he said. Lewis said that the Arlington School District was considering a similar program, however had concerns about how many kids would get together at the stops. "We don't want kids to gather en masse," he said. The Marysville School District has stops that are fairly spaced out, said Sullivan. Although he said there are still some stops in the district that may attract a larger number of kids. "On the first day there may be some more kids at some stops, and we will probably have to talk to the kids about social distancing," said Sullivan. Districts are following a state mandate from Gov.

he said. "When the governor closed schools his first priority was feeding the kids," he said. Both districts have seen their number of meals rapidly increase over the first week. In Arlington the district gave out 179 meals the first day and 401 on the third. "So we've been seeing an increase every day so far," said Lewis. "We expect the need will increase as more people are put out of work." Marysville schools gave out 971 meals on the first day, which had increased to 3,040 by the fourth day. "It's going up every day pretty well," said Sullivan. Both school districts are also partnering with food banks to continue weekend food programs. "We're also connecting with our community partners," said Runyon, who said the Marysville Community Food Bank's Food for Thought program will continue through their meals. "We will be providing those weekend meals for the kids that need it," she said. Arlington school staff are also working with the local food bank to deliver 'Meals 'til Monday,' which is also a weekend food program for families who need support. When Gov. Inslee mandated that schools be closed in response the new coronavirus he also said schools should prepare work for their staff. Bus drivers and nutrition staff are finding work with the meal programs. "Not only our child nutrition staff but also our bus drivers are getting work from this program," said Lewis. Sullivan said that Marysville continues to work on programs to provide work for any employee who is safe to come to work. "Some of our employees are at risk and some will be sick, whether that is with the coronavirus or not, and we don't want to take any chances with those employees," he said.

Local service clubs help kids, seniors in Vietnam By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
Members of the Marysville Soroptimist and Sunrise Rotary clubs helped support a Vietnamese center for vulnerable children and seniors this February. Late in the month members brought grant funds to pay for supplies to help the Quang Nam Social Sponsor Center, which supports children with disabilities and seniors that do not have anyone to care for them. "I got a $500 grant from the Sunrise Rotary Club and $200 from the Soroptimist Club," said Sherry Cannal, a member of both the Marysville Soroptimist and Rotary clubs. "We brought them food and supplies," said Cannal. "If they had children we would buy pertinent supplies." Those donations included 800 pounds of rice, vitamins, seven cases of noodles, balm for aches and pains, fruit and toilet paper.
M'ville suspends utility shutoffs through April 30 'Help to bridge the gap for those hit hardest,' says Mayor Nehring Effective March 18 the city of Marysville will not shut off utility service to customers for failure to pay. The action, in compliance with the Mayor’s emergency proclamation, is in effect through April 30. No late fees or penalties will apply during this time. .“We know that many residents are out of work or otherwise financially impacted by the COVID-19 virus response, and that our local business community and non-profits are also under great strain at this time,” Mayor Jon Nehring said. “It’s the right thing for the city to help bridge the gap through this crisis for those hit the hardest.” .The city encourages customers to continue to make their payments or to call Utility Billing to make payment arrangements if they are unable to pay at this time. n Use brown drop box behind City Hall. n Pay online at www. marysvillewa.gov. n Call 360-363-8777.
"We spent a lot of the money, and with the exchange rate your money goes quite a long way," said Cannal. The group still had money left over and were able to give each senior about $5. "Five dollars doesn't seem like a lot to us, but we went out and could afford a seven-course meal at a high-end restaurant with $5," said Cannal. The Marysville group stopped by the center for a day to visit with the residents there. "We stopped at that orphanage and spent half a day with the young and old there," said Mark James, a member of the Marysville Rotary. "They were extremely happy just to get the visit, just to see all those happy faces, that was really worth it," he said. Soroptimist member Renae James agreed it was good to see the smiling faces. "It was good to give them some extra things they don't normally get," she said.
Cannal, who is Vietnamese, said she enjoyed going to a country where she could speak Vietnamese to others. She also enjoyed interacting with the people at the center. "It was really rewarding interacting with all the kids and babies," she said. "It was good we could see all the needs and help with what I had." Cannal said we take a lot for granted here in the U.S. She said she talked to a 16-year-old girl in Vietnam. "She said she was working to save money to put her brother through school. It was like that everywhere I went," said Cannal. Renae James appreciated the two local groups coming together to provide service as one. "I really thought it was a great example of a couple of service clubs getting together," she said. "I'd like to see more of that in the future. I think we could make a bigger impact on whatever we choose to do," she said.

Depending on the seed mix, you could be mowing your lawn anywhere from as little as 3 to 4 times a year to possibly even only once, the whole time drawing in pollinators from all around the neighborhood. This is an intriguing concept that our own Washington State Department of Agriculture is working on and we should see more information available about it later in the year. “Insect hotels” are a fad that I observed starting at least 10 years ago while

Get ready: Spring landscaping tips During the cold months of winter, many people stare longingly out of the window dreaming of spring and time spent outdoors. For those with green thumbs, images of tending to the garden and other aspects of their landscapes no doubt dominate such daydreams. Draw inspiration from those budding crocuses and daffodils pushing through the last remnants of winter and employ these tips to prepare for the upcoming gardening season. “The first thing they should do is finish up their fall cleanup,” said Farmer Mark Lovejoy of Garden Treasures Nursery and Local Farm, which located on 20 acres on Highway 530 near Arlington. For fruit trees, the early spring is a good time to prune and remove nonfruit producing branches. He said it’s a process that evolves over the years. It’s also a good time to remove dead or decaying canes on berry bushes and re-trellis the healthy ones. For blueberry bushes,

people have to fight against Mummy berry, which infects blueberries. Lovejoy said bushes should be growing on a crown and not a depression in the ground and suggested to rake away old mulch and debris and work in new mulch. Lovejoy recommended consulting online videos to learn about pruning trees and bushes. Other things to consider for spring landscaping projects include: n One of the first steps is to apply a pre-emergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season. Killing weeds at the roots early on can mean far fewer hassles in spring and summer and may prevent new

generations of weeds from cropping up each year. n While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it’s better to know the last of the possible frost dates (check “The Farmer’s Almanac”), otherwise, you may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day. n Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency — just crumbling when lifting it. Soil that is too muddy after spring thaw can harden, making it difficult for plants to flourish later on. Speak with representatives at a local lawn and garden center about which types of

The early spring is a good time to add manure or compost to the soil, which should be added 90 to 120 days before food is harvested. “You want to think about soil four-to-six-toseven weeks before plant-

Signs your tools may need some TLC A do-it-yourselfer is only as good as his or her tools. Without the proper tools, even the handiest men and women may struggle to complete jobs well within their abilities. It doesn’t take a seasoned doit-yourselfer to recognize when hammers and screwdrivers need to be replaced. And such tools are generally so affordable that replacing them, even when they still have some utility, won’t affect too many DIYers’ budgets. However, power tools are considerable investments that do not necessarily need to be discarded when the first signs of trouble pop up. In fact, sometimes power tools just need some TLC to become useful once again. The following are some common symptoms of power tool problems, and what may be behind those problems. Difficulty starting A power tool that won’t start can delay a project. But a tool that won’t start should not be immediately written off, especially not before DIYers employ a mul-
timeter. The cost of digital multimeters varies widely, with some retailing for less than $20 while others sell for hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Serious DIYers who spend every weekend working on one project or another may find the more expensive multimeters more to their liking, but many weekend warriors can get by with less expensive alternatives. Multimeters are useful because they can measure voltage on a power tool to determine if power is effectively moving through the tool. Dust and dirt also can compromise power tools. This may be especially likely in spring, a time synonymous with home renovations, when many homeowners pick up their tools for the first time in months. Inspect a power tool that’s not starting to see if dust or dirt is the culprit. If so, clean the tool and then try to start it again. Loss of power Some power tools may start but still lack the extra muscle
Properly caring for tools is important for do-it-yourselfers. that make power tools more beneficial than manual tools. In such instances, the carbon brushes might need to be replaced. The

tools like sanders contain drive belts, and these belts should be the first place to look when tools produce a burning smell. When the drive belt is to blame, the tool will typically stop working even when the motor is running. Capacitors may be behind the burning smell when using tools without drive belts. Sometimes tools have simply overheated. Whenever DIYers get a whiff of that burning smell, turn off the tool immediately and let it sit for 30 minutes before trying to diagnose the problem. Replacing these parts can restore them to full usefulness and get rid of that unwelcome aroma. Replacing worn or damaged power tool parts as opposed to the tools themselves is often the most budget-friendly way to get these must-have DIY accessories back on track.

Schedule for filling MSD board vacancy in limbo ____ “ By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com
The Marysville School District currently has a vacancy for one of their board member positions, however the current application deadline may be pushed back due to the coronavirus. "We've put out an application online," said Jodi Runyon, director of engagement and outreach for the Marysville School District. Those applications were originally scheduled to be due March 27. "With everything happening right now, I don't
know if that will be the final deadline or if it will be extended," she said. The school district has been busy planning a number of programs in the wake of school closures because of the coronavirus outbreak. Most staff have been working to put together meal programs, childcare and other work for district staff. "The board of directors is working on forming a community subcommittee," said Runyon, and that committee will look at the
applications, "and determine which of them they will move forward for a public interview process." That process was originally planned to conclude at the April board meeting with a new appointment. "But with everything up in the air it may not happen in April," said Runyon, who added at this point it looks as if the April school board meeting will be canceled. The board member position is open after Tom Albright resigned due to health reasons in February. He served District 5,
which is in the Sunnyside and Allen Creek area. Any applicants will also have to reside in that area. "The best way to confirm that is to call the county and verify your address is in the boundary," said Runyon. A map of the director districts is also available at the School District website at msd25.org. "School board members or directors are elected officials who serve as the governing board for the district," said Runyon. The three biggest duties

Firefighters on front lines of COVID-19 pandemic Marysville Fire District firefighter/EMTs and paramedics are playing a vital role on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic as they respond to treat sick patients. In this challenging time for our community, our state and our country, MDF dedicates themselves to continuing excellent emergency service. MFD's number one priority is keeping the community and first responders safe. That is why MFD is taking measures to further
reduce the risk of spreading this virus: n Firefighters are currently wearing extra protective gear on every medical call, including gloves, goggles and a mask. n All fire stations and the administration office are closed to the public until further notice, in adherence with social distancing recommendations. Services including blood pressure checks and business inspections will not be provided at this time. n Public education events are currently suspended, including the in-person car seat checks. Caregivers can receive a free car seat consultation over the phone by calling 425446-0297 or by emailing cveley@marysvillewa.gov. Firefighters continue to respond to all emergency calls. If you do need to call 911 for any reason, it is critical to tell the dispatcher if you have symptoms including a cough, fever or difficulty breathing so firefighters can respond with appropriate equipment. Patients who may have contracted COVID-19 but are not experiencing severe symptoms are encouraged to call your healthcare provider instead of calling 911. Everyone can play a role in reducing the spread of COVID-19 by staying home if possible, limiting physical contact with others, washing hands frequently and sanitizing frequently touched surfaces.

“This was a difficult decision and was made based on Snohomish Health District recommendations, the Governor’s emergency declaration regarding social distancing, large groups and closing schools,” Thompson said. “We want all customers to have access to digital materials during the current public health crisis,” said Jessica Russell, Assistant Director of Technical Services-Collection Ser-
vices for Sno-Isle Libraries. Overdrive offers ebooks and audiobooks, online learning courses, digital magazines, and digital streaming of movies and TV shows with Kanopy and Hoopla. Sno-Isle Libraries worked with Overdrive to “reduce the friction” of online library card registration, said Sno-Isle Libraries Assistant Director of Communications Jim Hills. Before this change, cus-
tomers who registered online for a Sno-Isle Libraries card could place holds to pick up materials in a community library and had limited access to Overdrive digital services until they visited their community library to verify their physical address. Additionally, Sno-Isle Libraries customers with blocked accounts won’t have to resolve the issues to continue using digital materials, Russell said.

It's time for Washington to outlaw suction dredge mining
Treaty tribes are encouraged that the Washington State Legislature may finally put an end to the destructive practice of suction dredge mining, for the protection of threatened salmon and their habitat as well as southern resident orcas that depend on salmon. Tribes support ESHB 1261, which would prohibit suction dredge mining in Washington’s rivers and streams that provide critical spawning and rearing habitat for salmon, steelhead and bull trout. We’re not alone. More than 160 tribes, conservation and environmental groups, and regulatory agencies also support the bill. Suction dredge mining destroys salmon habitat when miners enter streams with a powerful pump mounted on a small raft to suction tons of gravel and sediment – and sometimes fish and fish eggs – from the bottom of a stream. The dredged spoils are then dumped back in the stream, further damaging salmon habitat. The results are erosion, loss of streamside vegetation, higher water temperatures and decreased water quality, all of which can kill salmon and their offspring. Suction dredge mining also stirs up highly toxic mercury from streambeds and sets it loose in the water again. The miners are looking for gold and precious stones,
Lorraine Loomis
but for most it’s a weekend hobby. The small amount of gold they find isn’t worth the cost to the salmon. Washington is the only state with endangered salmon and steelhead that still allows recreational suction dredge mining with almost no regulatory oversight. As a result, suction dredge mining in Washington has increased as miners were blocked from surrounding states. Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and several other states ban the activity in critical habitat for endangered fish. California has completely banned suction dredge mining. Miners in Oregon appealed the state’s moratorium on suction dredge mining all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to hear the case. ESHB 1261 would permit other less harmful prospecting methods in streams providing critical salmon habitat but would still allow suction dredge mining outside those areas.
www.northcountyoutlook.com
The legislation supports court rulings that discharges from suction dredge mining require a permit under the federal Clean Water Act – something Washington has never done. Instead of permits for potentially harmful practices being considered on a case-by-case basis, ESHB 1261 simply prohibits them in salmon streams with critical habitat. This is the kind of common sense and cost-effective regulation that we need. Salmon are declining because their habitat is being lost and damaged faster than it can be restored. We’ve been working too hard for too long on salmon recovery to allow suction dredge mining to continue to destroy Washington’s critical salmon habitat. Our tribal cultures depend on salmon and our treaty rights include the right to have salmon protected so that they can be harvested. To us it is the salmon – not the few flecks of gold that recreational miners can suck out of our rivers and streams – that is the real treasure. Being Frank is a monthly column written by the chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. As a statement from the NWIFC chair, the column represents the natural resources management interests and concerns of the treaty Indian tribes in western Washington.
"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones."

RAVE RAVE: These are challenging times for everyone, including our local businesses — with some specific industries, such as restaurants, bars, etc., being especially hard hit by mandated closings. We must keep them in mind and support them in any way possible. The local business owners and their employees are our family members, friends and neighbors
who have made significant contributions to our community.
RANT: I understand the need for, and don't mind practicing social distancing as it is for the benefit of all of us, so I get a bit disappoint when I see people ignoring the warnings and congregating in places like our parks.

MEALS Continued from page 1
Marysville Salvation Army, said their meals program has doubled over the last couple of weeks. "We're definitely in need of food, because I don't want to stop the meals," she said. "We will continue to give our support, we're just hoping for more community support," said Roodzant. Typically the majority of people served are homeless individuals, but now the program is attracting many who have found themselves without income because of COVID-19, the coronavirus. "We've had more seniors and families come in," said Roodzant. She added that all are welcome to come down for the meals. "This is for seniors, families or anyone in need," she said.
MUSEUM Continued from page 1
Different groups, including the Marysville Noon Rotary Club, use the building as a meeting space. The Marysville Historical Society also holds their general meetings which the public is welcome to come to and learn about the museum. "If we don't have enough income that will prevent this building from being open to the community as often," said Robertson. She said that the organization does not want to be in a situation where they have to start "nickel and diming" people. Currently the museum is free to visit for the public. The Marysville Historical
One local group, the Girls of Promise, have helped with what they have. The club is a partnership between the Marysville YMCA and the Marysville Soroptimist Club and helps Marysville middle-school girls participate in their town. "We talk about how to give back to the community," said Renae James, a member of the Soroptimist Club. "The one thing that often comes back to is helping the needy and helping the homeless, and that is something that they wanted to do," she said. The girls of the club had secured a $250 grant from the local Soroptimists earlier this year. "We were just gearing up to use those funds when the coronavirus really began happening here," said James.
James helped to use the funds to assist the Salvation Army for their meals. "We know what their wishes were, and with the grant it was really 'use it or lose it,'" she said. The Salvation Army has had to close their office building but is still providing meals in to-go boxes from out in the back of the building. There are no sit-down lunches for individuals to encourage the social distancing guidelines of the Snohomish Health District. "And it's the same food we've always provided," said Roodzant, with the local Salvation Army providing a hot meal as part of the program. The local organization has suspended their program to provide vouchers to provide utility assistance as of March 22. Many cities, including
Marysville, have pledged not to shut off utility service while the coronavirus quarantine is in effect. The need for the utility vouchers was high , said Roodzant, and the organization did provide many to local families. "I did seven of those in one day, so there's been a huge increase in the need," she said. As the cold weather shelter has closed for the season, the meal program is the main service that the Salvation Army can provide during the quarantine, said Roodzant. She said she doesn't need volunteers, although any food or cash donations to continue providing meals would be appreciated. "All donations are helpful," she said. "If there are churches or people who want to help prepare food that is also welcome."
Society didn't have the opportunity to reschedule their fundraiser as venue and support staff are often reserved a year in advance. "It's like planning a wedding every year," said Robertson. "Half the expenses have already happened." Robertson said the checks of those who already purchased tickets will not be cashed. The society will be having a teleconference board meeting soon and Robertson said they hope to come up with some options for alternative fundraisers. They still have all of the auction items that were donated to them. "We're going to still use them, we're just not sure how yet," said Robertson. "We may have smaller
events throughout the rest of the year," she said. The other main fundraising method for the organization is renting out the museum. "Those are few and far between right now," said Robertson. With the Marysville Opera House offering similar options, the organization has had more competition recently as well. Robertson said the Opera House is also great, but she hopes to get the word out more that the museum is available for rental. The organization also hopes to hold their June 8 potluck this year as well. It is still scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and typically the Marysville mayor and city council are invited.
"The community is invited, as well, and it is a potluck so they can show up with some food or not," said Robertson. Robertson encouraged anyone who wants to donate to the historical society's museum to head to marysvillehistory.org for more information. She also said anyone with experience holding fundraisers or online auctions is also welcome to coordinate. "We would really love if people reached out to my email," she said. Robertson's email is available at dawn@ marysvillehistory.org. People can also call the museum at 360-659-3090.

Bayya, Lindstrand named Students of the Month By Christopher Andersson christopher@northcountyoutlook.com Marysville Getchell High School seniors Divine Grace Bayya and Colton Lindstrand received the March Students of the Month awards for their volunteer service. The Marysville Kiwanis and Soroptimist clubs give out the award each month to two students in the Marysville School District. Divine Grace Bayya was recognized for her participation in her school community and her volunteer service. She has a 3.7 cumulative GPA and is on the Dean's Honor Roll and is a member of the National Honor Society. During her sophomore
year she was an active participant in the district's NJROTC program, where she was team coordinator. As part of the 2018 Academic Team she qualified for the Regional Academic Test. With the program she also received honors for Exemplary Personal Appearance, Aptitude and a Community Service Ribbon. In Getchell's student government she has served in the role of club coordinator during her junior year and in communications this year. She is also the senior class of 2020 Secretary. Since 2017 she has served in the Key Club, a Rotary-affiliated service club for youth. Over the last
school year she has served as the club's webmaster. She has helped with various events serving as a volunteer, including at the local Festival of World Cultures, Summer Movies in the Park, Touch-a-Truck, the YMCA Family Carnival and the annual YMCA Costume Party. Her volunteer service also extends to local blood drives and food drives. After graduation she hope to major in biochemistry to eventually pursue a career in the medical field, likely in radiology. Colton Lindstrand received the award in recognition of his participation in band and his community service. He has been a leader in
his high school band and pep band and is one of two specially selected trumpet section leaders. During the district's drama club performances Colton practices and performs with the 'pit,' which is the orchestra section that provides the music during musical productions. Over the last couple of years he has been part of multiple tryout bands, including the All-State Concert Band and the AllNorthwest Concert Band. In Colton's junior and senior years he has qualified for the state band competitions. Colton has also volunteered a lot in his community and abroad. In Guatemala he served
