Dorothy Bolton addresses the Lakewood school board Sept. 17.

LAKEWOOD — “It’s my last big power move,” Kelly Allen laughed, as she joined her fellow Lakewood school board members Sept. 17 to vote unanimously in favor of using their bond to build a new Lakewood High School.

Allen was appointed to the Director District 2 position in 2009, and resigned from the board because she’ll be moving out of the district, due to a new job in Leavenworth. During her final board meeting, she made the motion to approve the new plans for LHS.

“Kelly gave us a perspective we desperately needed,” Lakewood Superintendent Michael Mack said. “We’re eternally grateful for her courage in speaking the truth.”

Board President Larry Bean expressed his appreciation to Allen for taking on so much work.

“She dove into it with abandon,” Bean said.

“I’m glad she thought it was fun, because I wasn’t looking forward to doing it.”

Allen’s twins have already graduated from Lakewood and are attending Washington State University, so she looks forward to moving to Eastern Washington, even as she’ll SEE SCHOOL, PAGE 2

OSO — The road is open and the debris is cleared, but the aftermath of the March 22 Highway 530 slide has stayed on Willy Harper’s mind.

“It feels like a long time and a short time both,” Harper said. “It’s like the blink of an eye that lasted 10 years.”

Six months after the mudslide that wiped out an entire neighborhood, claimed 43 lives and made the way between Arlington and Darrington virtually impassible, the Oso fire chief revisited the site Sept. 18 with Heather Kelly, Snohomish County’s long-term recovery lead for the slide.

Fields south of SR 530, that had been covered in debris, now are nearly bare, except for two towering poles that bear the U.S. flag.

“That reminds me of all the people who came out to help us,” Harper said.

“United we stand.”

Harper credited the financial and moral support of government agencies and citizens with enabling search and recovery efforts to con-

Steelhead Drive impressed upon him how large his small community really is.

“Just within a one-mile stretch, how many families were living here, puts things into perspective,” Harper said. “You think you know everybody.”

Kelly emphasized that everyone who worked on the site treated it with respect, due to the fact that it had once been home to so many.

“Our contractor worked long and hard to bring the visible nightmare to an end,” Kelly said.

She elaborated that the county has put in an application to FEMA, for grant money to buy out property owners willing to sell.

SCHOOL FROM PAGE 1 miss her old hometown.

“I learned so much from this school district,” Allen said. “This is such a great board. We never leave a meeting mad, because we always stay until everything gets done.”

The board’s decision to apply the voters’ $66.8 mil-

“The grant would require that this all remain open space, with no commercial or residential buildings, to avoid any future risks,” Kelly said. “It wouldn’t preclude a park, walkway or other temporary use, which is why we plan to work with the families who have been directly impacted, to see what their wishes are.”

While crews apply hydroseed to stabilize the hillside on the south side of SR 530, Kelly reported that the river channel just north of the highway has made progress.

“This whole area was just a lake from the flooding,” Kelly said, as she pointed to the berms constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

“Before, it was green with trees, but the clay from the slide covered everything.

Each week, though, we’re seeing more plant life. We’ve already seen salmon again.

It’s nice to see nature doing its thing.”

While much of the northern slide field remains gray with clay soil, Harper and fellow Oso firefighter Joel Johnson agreed it looks a lot better than when they tromped out into the aftermath of the disaster.

“Imagine walking through soup,” Harper said. “You’d think you were standing on solid ground, until you took a step and sank up to your armpits. It was so sticky that you couldn’t even move your shovel through it.”

In spite of such daunting obstacles, as well as the increasing unlikelihood of finding survivors as their work went on, Harper insist-

ed that all the responders remained committed to seeing the search and recovery work through to the end.

“We wanted to find everybody, no matter what,” Harper said.

The last slide victim was recovered and identified July 22. The removal of debris from the slide area wrapped up Sept. 12, nearly 10 days ahead of schedule.

Snohomish County Executive Director Gary Haakenson, who’s overseen the county’s long-term recovery team, credited dry summer weather and collaboration with community members throughout Stillaguamish Valley.

Haakenson is retiring from 18 years of public service on Oct. 8, three years after coming to the county and one

Since construction began June 30, crews removed and processed more than 200,000 cubic yards of material in the slide area, and recovered nearly 1,000 personal items, many of which were returned to family members.

The majority of the mate-

rial stayed on site — roughly 85 percent was earthen material, with 10 percent woody debris — and has been smoothed and graded to improve stability and drainage, then hydroseeded.

lion in bond money to a new school building, rather than renovating the existing LHS facility, yielded little controversy.

After Mack made his official recommendation in favor of the new plans, Bean praised the Sept. 10 public forum for providing an opportunity for community input, almost all of which favored the new plans.

“When our high school

science teacher, Mr. Fellows, pointed out how they’d have to move chemicals into the portables, I hadn’t thought about that,” board member Greg Jensen said.

Mack noted that the district’s legal counsel had reviewed the resolution for the new plans, and added: “It’s very rare for the value analysis to come back with a suggested revision like this, so I applaud their courage.”

While the board’s decision met with no dissent Sept.

17, the process by which it

arrived to that point was questioned by former district employee Dorothy Bolton.

“Why were these consultants hired to do a walkthrough to review the plans after the bond passed?”

Bolton asked. “Why not before? That’s putting the cart before the horse.”

Bolton described herself as a well-connected member of the community, but was nonetheless surprised by the proposed change in plans, which she only heard about

through The Arlington Times.

“I’m not disagreeing that the old high school needed to be completely replaced,” Bolton said. “I remember that building, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. I’m just saying you need to be more forthright.”

Mack explained that the district had contacted other news outlets, as well as the families of its students, to invite the community to its public hearing. When Bolton pointed out that it’s not just

voters with children in the district who pay taxes toward the district, Mack cited the cost of mass-mailing the district’s voters.

“We had short amount of time to get this information out there, especially with dirt work targeted to begin in the early fall,” Mack said. “It wasn’t our intent to be secretive at all about this decision, and voters can rest assured that they won’t be spending any more money than they would otherwise. The new plans have the same price.”

Time for state to bail out schools

While he said it off the cuff, Marysville School District school board member and legislative representative Pete Lundberg was right. The Boeing Co. should not be treated with any more importance than our schoolchildren.

As important as Boeing is to this state and the world, it is no more important than the education of our children.

If our children don’t learn, there will be no advances of society in the future. Boeing is a power now and has been for years and hopefully will be for many more. But some day some other mode of transportation will be discovered to take the place of planes. Maybe one of our children will be the inventor. That won’t happen without advances in society. And that won’t happen without topnotch schools.

Our schools system has been underfunded for decades.

Our studentsthefall behind schoolglobe systems that have arlington timeseven • the marysville less money. If we are going to be the world power we should be because of our wealth, we have to fund education.

The state Supreme Court is pushing us that direction with its decision in State vs. McCleary. That school district sued the state because it wasn’t funding basic education. The court agreed: The state needs to fund education.

So the state legislature will be tasked with coming up with ways to do that. It will be working with school board members statewide, such as Lundberg, to set priorities in spending.

Everyone seems to have ideas on how to improve the educational system. It is better pay for teachers? Is it smaller class sizes? Is it year-round school? Is it charter schools?

The answer probably is a little bit of all of that. But the only way any of that will happen is with more money.

Yes, that will have to mean higher taxes, along with different priorities in spending. But at Lundberg says, if Boeing deserves a billions-dollar bailout, so does our education system.

I should also point out that the biennial budget process allows for the council to make adjustments in the off year, as needed.

For example, if an unforeseen economic event impacted our region, we would still have the flexibility to make revisions to the budget. Likewise, if unanticipated additional revenue becomes available in the “off year” my administration and the council would be able to go to citizens to hear your needs, and address them in a timely way.

The budget process includes a mid-biennial review with the ability to adjust appropriations that reflect changes in financial conditions, programs or changes in laws that impact ongoing expenditures.

During the first year of the biennium, 2015, budget monitoring and reporting will be done by comparing actual expenditures to the first year’s spending plan.

The city general fund budget for 2014 is $42.1 million, with finances improving and stable due to fiscal discipline, long-range planning, a conservative budget approach, and responsible departmental spending.

One area where annual and biennial budgets do not differ is the importance of input from citizens.

I hope in the coming weeks leading up to the budget public hearing and council adoption of the city’s first-ever biennial budget in November, you will take the opportunity to share with the council and me the priorities and community values that are most important to you.

Arlington Boys and Girls Club needs more room

At the Boys & Girls Club we believe in healthy and positive experiences in sports.

One of our goals is to get as many kids from our community involved in sports as much as possible. We allow all kids to sign up and play regardless of their ability or their financial situation. Unfortunately we just don’t have enough gym space or field space to give adequate practice time to our teams and other community groups.

As an employee of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Snohomish County for 20 years I have witnessed tremendous growth at the

“Boys and Girls Club of Arlington needs to expand their facilities in order to successfully serve the children of our community.”

Kevin Coghill, Athletic director Arlington club. We have outgrown our existing facilities with the many programs that we offer. The Boys & Girls Club of Arlington needs to expand their facilities

in order to successfully serve the children of our community.

In the last school year, we served 75 basketball teams, 56 volleyball teams, 45 flag football teams, 20 baseball teams Coghill and 15 soccer teams in our athletic programs. Almost each and every year the number of teams has grown in each sport. Scheduling is always a challenge each season in finding practice and game times for each team with the facili-

ties that we have. On game days we thrive and enjoy that the place is packed, but so many people in such a limited space can cause problems.

I have enjoyed my time working for the Arlington Boys and Girls Club. I have worked with a lot of great kids and coaches, and look forward to continuing to do so. With your support, we can expand our facilities and make our programs available to every child who wants to participate.

Thanks, Kevin Coghill Athletic Director, Arlington Boys & Girls Club

How do we get children to love learning at school?

What turns kids into students?

Once again a rating system has found Marysville’s schools lacking. Along with the majority of Washington’s schools, Marysville did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress standards which requires every child to pass, whether they want to or not.

AYP standards are part of a noble plan. Wouldn’t it be nice if every child excelled? Marysville would become a Lake Wobegontype Eden where all the children are above average. But reality intrudes with a normal bellshaped curve that distributes things like aptitude and achievement across a range from not much to more than enough.

Given that fact of human nature, it is a wonder that as many as 22 of Washington’s 273 districts made the cut.

In a rational world, the next step would be to analyze those 22 districts to see what it is that sets them apart. If they prove to share

significant advantages, then the fair thing to do would be to toss out the AYP’s punitive measures for the reason that all people’s circumstances are not created equal.

I’m always amused at how society attaches all responsibility for student achievement to schools.

It is a bit like attaching the responsibility for the comfort of boaters on the boats they take passage in, neglecting to factor in sea Graef conditions and the weather that causes them. It is as though AYP’s analysts forgot that there are other aspects to a child’s readiness for learning than school.

In most modern high schools, it is possible that in a single class, a teacher is faced with students who are experiencing unplanned

pregnancy, experimentation with controlled substances, physical or sexual abuse, hunger, recently divorced parents and homelessness.

This is not an exaggeration.

Think about it: How might that teacher make the Periodic Table of the Elements erase the pain and dysfunction that clouds children’s lives? How might he or she level the playing field so that all are equally ready to learn?

Pick a town where the average income is high and unemployment is low. Add an average educational level of a few years of college among parents that sets a higher cultural respect for education among kids, even kids who might come visiting from disadvantaged homes. Show me a town like that, and I’ll show you one of the 22 districts that made the cut.

There’s a simple way to find out if your school is likely to pass next year’s test. Get a visi-

tor’s pass to your high school and take up a station where you can observe what happens when kids exit from classrooms. If you’re on watch at one of the 22 winning schools, you’ll find a significant fraction of the kids will still be discussing what happened during class because school is a part of their life they accept, not tolerate.

In most schools, if a student dares to continue a classroom discussion outside where friends gather, he or she is more likely to get cut off with, “Knock it off, class is over.”

You will know your schools have turned a corner when your children come home eager to share what they’re learning—not what they’ve learned but what they’re learning, because learning is a process without end.

For our schools to succeed, we have to break out of the antiintellectual trend that has swept America, dimming vision and aspirations. School, being a win-

dow on the universe, ought to be a place of excitement where dreams are kindled as kids discover the thrill of experiencing their minds soaring above the here and now.

At the root of it all is a shortage of vision. Every great civilization throughout history was long on vision. The Greeks, Romans, Persians, the Han Dynasty, Ancient Egypt and the Aztecs all had something going for them that kept their leaders and people from becoming slackers. They dreamed and turned their dreams into reality.

Two questions to ponder: So what’s to be done to keep our kids from succumbing to the mind-numbing influences that overshadow education? What’s to be done about a clueless rating system that lacks a basic understanding of what makes a child a student?

Comments may be addressed to: robertgraef@comcast.net

Students at Mountlake Terrace High School know how to innovate. The robots they build, wings they design and medical research they conduct are clear markers of successful students and teachers. When I visited the high school last spring, students not only schooled me in robotics and aerodynamics, they presented their ideas to me clearly and effectively.

Yet in the Edmonds School District and other districts all across the state, schools recently had to send letters to parents indicating the schools are failing. The letters are required under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law because the U.S. Department of Education revoked Washington state’s waiver from the law, meaning schools and student test scores now must be evaluated under those flawed standards.

But these letters in no way reflect a negative change in

the quality of education in Washington state. The requirement to send letters describing schools as ‘failing’ only demonstrates that NCLB’s standards are terribly constructed. These flawed education standards are completely out of touch with Washington state’s schools. It is long past time for them to be scrapped and replaced.

Under NCLB, passed in 2001, schools are required to achieve a 100 percent passage rate on all standardized tests by this year. If even one student fails one test, a school counts as failing. This rigid and unreasonable standard takes an all-or-nothing approach that fails to recognize the critical importance of innovation in classrooms like those at Mountlake Terrace High School.

Congress needs to change this by updating and reauthorizing NCLB. School Board of Directors President Diana White noted

in her recent piece in My Edmonds News that sanctioning Washington schools is “misguided and simply absurd.” I agree that federal education policy should reward school districts for progress rather than punishing them for not meeting rigid requirements.

Accountability is critical, but NCLB does not allow any credit for individual progress that teachers make Larsen with students.

Washington state already has made important progress toward improving education for all students. Our state’s concrete goals create accountability that emphasizes progress by improving outcomes for all students, including those who might face different challenges like students with disabilities, students with learning challenges, or

English language learners. Under our system, every school works to increase achievement for each group of students, even those who might struggle. Schools that are meeting or exceeding expectations adjust their goals upward to improve even more.

Waiver or not, our schools will continue to make progress towards these goals, but will be forced to do so under NCLB’s undeserved label of failure.

Washington state public schools have hardworking students and a strong workforce of dedicated teachers and administrators.

Congress is failing them by not reauthorizing and updating the Elementary and Secondary Education Act so it works for students, teachers, and schools.

In today’s job market, workers need to have a basic understanding of science and math.

These subjects are important for cutting-edge careers in aerospace and engineering, but they also

are important for jobs in health care, car mechanics, construction and more.

Schools like Mountlake Terrace High School are helping students gain both the skills and the curiosity they need to succeed in their higher education and careers. These hardworking students and teachers—and those like them all across the state—should not have to bear the brand of failure because of a defective federal law.

Instead, federal law should promote innovation and progress. I am committed to working with my colleagues to find solutions to federal education policy that foster progress for our students. Washington state’s experience shows that it is imperative for Congress to act, to support efforts like our state’s that are challenging students and preparing them for college and careers.

– U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., District 2

Museum wants stuff you don’t

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – If in doubt, don’t throw it out.

That could be the new slogan for the Marysville Historical Society.

“When people pass away their kids and grandkids don’t know what they’re looking at,” historical society president Kenneth Cage said. “When in doubt, call the historical society.”

He said experts there can look at items found in attics and under beds to determine if they are important to the history of the town.

“It’s crucial to find out how Marysville got to be Marysville,” he said. “If there’s no significance we can get rid of it for you.”

Bobby Johnston was in town this week from Arkansas helping plan the Class of 1965’s 50th high school reunion. Ken and his

wife, Ethel, met with the group and brought a box full of photographs that were donated to the museum on 3rd Street but not identified.

Johnston and his reunion planning group were able to identify Al Young, an art teacher.

That gave Johnston the idea to work with Cage to get items to put in the new Marysville museum being built on 51st near Jennings Memorial Park.

Johnston donated a copy of an old photograph of Ron’s Hamburger Stand, “a famous place in Marysville history,” Cage said.

Johnston said “the old salts of Marysville” used to have their fishing and hunting 8X10 photos on the wall of his grandfather’s restaurant.

Johnston said every time he comes back to town it’s all about the history now.

Jail death tied to Arlington

Steve Powell/Staff Photo

Bobby Johnston, left, talks with Kenneth Cage about the history of Marysville.

He said he “hears bits and pieces” about history, but it’s important to have artifacts to prove things are fact, not just hearsay.

“This is really important.

Does anybody care?” he asked, adding with tangible items, “history really comes alive.”

Johnston said even at his age he’s still finding out new family history. Some longtime friends told him about

a local grave of a distant relative. He went to see it.

“I had an epiphany in the cemetery,” he said. “These are my people.”

He also in recent years found out a longtime friend actually was something like a distant cousin.

To make sure his own history isn’t lost, Johnston asked his kids to give him 150 questions about things they would want to know

about him if he died. He’s in the process of answering them. Johnston said he didn’t do that with his elders.

“They’re gone,” he said.

As for Cage, Johnston has nothing but praise for him.

“He’s an immigrant to Marysville,” Johnston said of Cage, who was raised in Colorado.

“And look at what he’s doing for us.”

New Arlington director ready to get ideas during Airport Appreciation Days ARLINGTON — David Ryan, the new manager of the Arlington Municipal Airport, says it could become a regional business center because of the open space.

Ryan replaces Dale Carman, who was promoted to airport manager last year, after the retirement of Rob

Putnam, who was airport director for more than 13 years. Ryan, 55, spent the last six years as airport manager in Friday Harbor. He will make $90,732.

Ryan is tasked with planning for the airport’s future. His expertise lies in airport operations and construction, but he’s shifting his focus to marketing

and leasing.

He’s trying to gather ideas from pilots, leaders and business owners.

He’ll have a chance to meet many of those people Saturday, during Arlington Airport Appreciation Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Activities include a free lunch, tractor rides, aircraft

BUSINESS

displays, helicopters, bouncy houses, face painting, flight simulators, a flying gizmo showcase, paint-an-airplane booth, aircraft flyovers and free airplane rides for kids ages 8-17. There also will be 5K and 10K Rescue Runs at 8 a.m. For details visit www.arlingtonwa.gov or call 360-403-3471.

Another death has occurred in the Snohomish County Jail in Everett.

The latest person to die was scheduled to be transferred to the Marysville Jail Sept. 10. He was supposed to appear in court on a charge of third-degree theft out of Arlington, sheriff ’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. The 19-year-old man was found dead in his cell late Sept. 9. Travis A. Nelson-Martinez of Sultan hanged himself, the county Medical Examiner’s Office reported.

Nelson-Martinez was being checked on by corrections officers every half-hour in the jail, Ireton said. He was found hanging in his cell during the 11:30 p.m. checks on that Tuesday. Efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Nelson-Martinez was screened when booked, a process that included a mental-health evaluation, Ireton said.

At least 11 people have died in the county jail since 2010. Deaths in the jail have been the focus of multiple multimillion-dollar legal claims and lawsuits against the county, and have led to a series of comprehensive reforms meant to address safety issues such as overcrowding.

OSO – Snohomish County is one of three communities in the nation selected to receive a seedling from the 9/11 Memorial’s “Survivor Tree.”

The Survivor Tree comes from a “Callery pear recovered from the smoldering rubble of the World Trade Center and nursed back to health before it was replanted on the memorial,” says a news release by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York.

The seedlings are given to communities that have endured tragedies in recent years – in this case the Oso slide. Fort Hood in Killeen, Texas, and Gulfport, Miss., were the other two communities selected.

A date for receiving the seedling hasn’t been determined yet, but it likely won’t happen for at least several months, county Parks and Recreation Director Tom Teigen said.

Financing based on 12% interest, all payments based on 10 years (unless otherwise noted), O.A.C.. Actual rate may vary. Prices do not include permit costs or sales tax & are based on a flat, level, accessible building site w/less than 1’ of fill, w/85 MPH Wind Exposure “B”, 25# snow load, for non commercial usage & do not include prior sales & may be affected by county codes and/or travel considerations.

2,000 attend show; raise $12K

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Steve Hecht loves his 1915 Ford T-bucket, even though he can barely get in the driver’s seat.

“Believe it or not, I’ve fit myself and at least one heavyset passenger in here,” Hecht said, even as he struggled to position his long legs in the compact cab of the open-top rat-rod.

“Of course, there were certain gears I couldn’t shift to when we were both sitting here,” he laughed.

The 11th annual Drag

event looks likely to have made more than $12,000 for an assortment of community charities.

Ann Horton, who serves as treasurer of both the car show and auto club, explained that the proceeds are still being added up, but expressed confidence that it had raised more funds than last year, which drew less than 400 cars on an overcast weekend.

“It was still a good show and a pleasant day, but this year, we had a great show with great weather,” said Horton, who estimated that

Strip Reunion and Car show at the Arlington Airport Sept. 13 drew close to 500 such cars.

Among them were Jim Workman’s 1971 Chevy Nova, Don Teel’s 1960 Rambler American and Fidel Lopez’s Frankenstein hybrid of a 1935 Ford with a Nissan 4x4 chassis, assorted other car parts and even dolls from his granddaughter.

More importantly to the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club, which co-organizes the event with the Arlington Boys & Girls Club, this year’s

more than 2,000 attendees filed through the gates, not including show entrants and their passengers.

Jake Jacobsen, who helped coordinate the show for the auto club in previous years, noted that the Marysville-Pilchuck High School automotive students have been among the regular beneficiaries.

“We select seniors who will stay in the automotive field after they graduate, and sponsor them to get tools, so they can get hired immediately out of school,” he added.

Children scoop up truck fun

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — The city’s 2009 Komatsu PC88 excavator is valued at $115,000, but that didn’t stop 3-year-old Wyatt Worthington-Johnson from jerking its controls back and forth like he was playing a video game, even as his toes barely touched the floor.

Kids of all ages got yet another chance to grab the steering wheels and honk the horns of the city’s utility, police and fire vehicles at the annual Touch-A-Truck at Asbery Field Sept. 13.

Marysville Recreation Coordinator Andrea Kingsford reported the city was among 20 organizations presenting 44 vehicles to an estimated 2,500 attendees.

“It was a huge success,”

Kingsford said. “Many of the little ones have attended Touch-A-Truck since not long after they were born.”

New this year was the U.S. Army Reserve, with a Humvee, a Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Wrecker, a Light Medium Tactical Vehicle and a Biological Information Detection System, valued at a total of $1.3 million.

“These were impressive vehicles that were very popular with both kids and adults,” Kingsford said.

Also putting in its first Touch-A-Truck appearance was the Marysville Community Food Bank’s 2014 Ford Econoline box truck, which helped collect the 480 pounds of food and $51 donated at the event.

Other highlights includ-

A line forms to take a closer look at the $115,000 excavator that was part of the city’s fleet at the Touch-A-Truck event. ed the Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management’s Command and Communications Van, that responded to the March 22 Oso slide, as well as Community Transit’s

Enviro 500 Alexander Dennis Limited Double Decker Bus, complete with special guest Oxy Gene, and the Marysville Noon Rotary Train.

Kingsford touted Touch-

A-Truck as a unique way for families to learn about the work vehicles of their community.

“During this handson experience, they get to explore and discover new

vehicles, that they normally only see from a distance,” Kingsford said. “It gives them real insights into the operations of the community, and has that ‘Wow’ factor that kids love.”

Voters can learn Oct. 7 about 2 confusing gun measures on ballot

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – If you are confused about the two gun initiatives on the Nov. 4 general election ballot, Barb Smith of Marysville says that’s just what supporters of Initiative 591 want.

Smith, who supports Initiative 594, says that the goal of her opponents is to make the issue confusing so that both measures pass, which would lead the court system to throw them both out.

“We are very concerned people understand the differences,” Smith said.

So, the president of the League of Women Voters in Snohomish County, Michelle Valentine, will be putting on a presentation on the two initiatives Tuesday, Oct. 7. It will be at 7 p.m. at the Marysville United Methodist Church, on 64th Street near the YMCA. Smith was part of a local contingent that went to Washington, D.C., to take training on how to combat 591.

Smith said the Rev. Sandy Brown of the national Methodist Church helped draft 594 and that Washington state has been targeted by the NRA. Still, 594 supporters, including billionaire Bill Gates, have donated $3 million, while 591 has $1 million. Smith predicts more money will come in as the campaign heats up this fall.

She said 591 ran a TV ad a week ago, and 594 has responded. She said two

League of Women Voters offices had paper targets placed on their doors riddled by bullet holes and signs that said, “This is just the beginning.”

Valentine has been a member of the league since 1998. The league is a political, non-partisan organization that promotes the informed and active participation of citizens in the democratic process of government.

“We never support or

oppose individual candidates, but we do take positions and act on issues which we have studied and have reached national consensus,” Valentine said.

Briefly, this is what the two measures say: • Initiative 591: Prohibits government from confiscating guns from citizens

without due process or from requiring background checks unless there is a national standard.

• Initiative 594: Requires criminal and safety background checks of firearms sales by license dealers, including at gun shows and online.

BRIEFS Churches fix up

ARLINGTON – Two congregations in Arlington spent more than 250 man hours Sept. 10–13 in support of the Puget Sound Day of Service commemorating 9/11.

Members of the Stillaguamish and Arlington Wards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints donned their yellow “Mormon Helping Hands” vests and reached out to provide community service.

Over 50 volunteers from the Arlington ward met at Haller Park. Their mission was to clean up the Eagle Trail and south bank of the Stillaguamish River. Several dozen bags were filled with garbage and debris.

Members from the Stillaguamish Ward held a food drive in an effort

September 20, 2014

to replenish the local food bank. The final tally included over 500 pounds of food and supplies, as well as $113 in cash.

Another group of over 30 members cleaned up the property of a local neighbor.

After three hours, brush and blackberries, thistles and trees had been cleared from his field in preparation for winter.

abilities.

Proceeds benefit Village Music and Arts, including Voices of the Village, a 30-member ensemble that performs at community events statewide.

Festivities start at 11 a.m., and the car wash opens at 10 a.m. Suggested donations are $25 or more for the walk and $10 or more for a car wash.

Volunteers are needed; call Michelle Dietz at 360653-7752 ext. 14 or e-mail michelledietz@comcast.net.

Friendship Walk

Girls, goats win

ARLINGTON – Village Community Services’ Friendship Walk and Car Wash will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Legion Park in Arlington.

The one-mile walk through old town Arlington and on the Centennial Trail leaves Legion Park at 1 p.m. to raise awareness about the talents of people with dis-

Oso buyouts

OSO — The federal government is giving a $1.5 million grant to Snohomish County to buy out properties damaged in the Oso slide.

“The plan is to use the grant money to help people directly affected by the mudslide and flooding,” rather than public projects, county spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said.

Rat battle on

ARLINGTON – Two Arlington girls and their goats have won top honors at the Washington State 4H Fair in Puyallup.

Eva Donnelson won overall Grand Champion and Jacey Wreggelsworth won Reserve Grand Champion at the fair with their goats Beau and Clove Sept. 15.

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District is taking steps to eradicate a rat problem that has been around for years at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

A district email says they have asked for additional services from pest control and more people on their custodial staff.

Rats, and their droppings,

have been seen in locker rooms and the science building.

Teachers union president Randy Davis said housing construction nearby has forced rats to school dumpsters and the school itself.

Davis said this is one more reason why the district needs to pass a bond so the 40-year-old school, and others in the district, can be updated.

charges. Stolen vehicles and parts have been recovered from this address on two other occasions, Snohomish County sheriff ’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said in a news release.

The suspect, who lives at the address, was booked in Marysville Jail on theft of a motor vehicle, illegal wrecking yard and outstanding warrants.

‘Chop shop’ arrest

MARYSVILLE — The brass candle holder and silver chalice used in sacred services at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Marysville have been found.

The items were stolen this summer, along with musical equipment, computers, a picture of Jesus and items collected for the food bank.

Police have arrested two suspects, Randall Marlow, 45, and Todd Joiner, 37.

They are suspects in at least seven church burglaries.

MARYSVILLE – A 29-year-old man was arrested Sept. 17 after detectives found a suspected “chop shop.” Detectives found three stolen vehicles, several dismantled vehicles and numerous vehicle parts at the 3100 block of 87th Ave NE.

2 volleyball teams lose

ARLINGTON — Whether it’s flying through the air knocking people over or catching footballs, Arlington senior wide receiver and cornerback Connor Bovard enjoys doing it all.

Along with being a standout on the Eagles football and basketball teams, he attends church, twice a week playing, guitar in the worship band. And he participates in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club in school.

“Basically that’s my life,” he said.

Bovard is hoping to break out in his final year as an Eagle.

He, along with everyone else, was overshadowed last season by standout receiver Alex Gray, who is now playing in college. Bovard has only lettered once as a sophomore.

“I want to surpass him,” Bovard said.

Bovard is off to a strong start. He has six receptions with two touchdowns and close to 200 yards in his first two games. He wants to add 50 catches, 10 touchdowns and over 700 yards to his stats before season’s end.

The Eagles had an uncharacteristic performance in their first home game, Arlington head coach Whitney Williams said.

“We failed to execute given the many opportunities to do so,” Williams said. “Inglemoor is a solid team with solid players and I have to hand it to them, they executed when it mattered.”

FOOTBALL FROM Page 12 “It’s been going great. It’s been a long time since we were 2-0,” he said.

Bovard has been applying to colleges where he wants to keep playing football, such as Whitworth University, University of the Puget Sound, Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Ore. and the University of Redlands in Calif. He has heard back from Whitworth and Lewis and Clark.

Bovard hopes the accumulation of his efforts and his team will take them to the state playoffs.

“I just want to keep having fun,” he said. “We want to get to state. We have a great receiving corps to do it.”

Throwing balls Bovard’s way is junior Andrew Kalahar, who Bovard credits as a reason for his success.

“Our quarterback is killer,” he said.

“He can run and is good at faking.”

ARLINGTON — Children thronged the collaborative canvas at Legion Park, standing shoulder to shoulder to apply their own choices of colorful paint patterns to their respective segments of the otherwise open white space.

Roberta Baker, an arts council board member who chairs the art show, noted that a number of prospective vendors are hesitant to take part in such a small event.

“The band Cherry Cherry had a lot of followers who came in that Saturday,” Baker said. “We also had a few new artists, including a pottery gal. At least a couple of them have already asked us to put them down for the same spot next year.”

tive feedback this year.

“I heard from all sorts of people that it was a great show with great music, which is more important to me than having more vendors,” Baker said.

“The beer and wine garden was new this year, and it broke even,” Baker said. “We weren’t able to get donations of beer and wine, but we were able to buy them for a good cost, so we’ll probably do that again next year.”

By contrast, the poker run leading up to the weekend art show was a bust.

“Our goal was to bring customers to our downtown businesses,” Baker said. “You could visit five stores to collect five cards, and the winning hand would receive the grand prize. Only one person participated. We won’t be doing that again.”

Baker and her fellow arts council members are soliciting suggestions for next year. Baker would like to promote the show with banners across Olympic Avenue, and is wondering whether a scavenger hunt might drive up interest. “You could look in each of the vendors’ booths to find items, and the first to find them all would in a prize,” Baker said.

In the meantime, the arts council’s annual auction is set to return to the Gleneagle Country Club Saturday, Oct. 18.

“This is our big fundraiser for the year,” Baker said. “It’s where we generate the funds to buy art for the city.”

Touching story moves those at Tulalip gala to fight cancer

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

TULALIP — After an evening of masks, auctions, music and dining, it all came down to nine small children, only one of whom survived.

Alexandra Craft was the survivor, and she served as the featured guest speaker for the American Cancer Society’s fifth annual Night of Hope Gala at the Tulalip Report Casino Sept. 13.

Craft was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on Sept.

10, 1991, when she was only 2 1/2.

Doctors told her family that her bone marrow was already 98 percent impacted with cancer, even though he guessed the cancer had only developed the week before.

Craft’s condition was so severe that her family’s insurance initially refused to cover treatment, since she wasn’t expected to live much longer than 24 hours.

“In order to afford it, my parents were told that either they could go on welfare, or my grandparents would have to adopt

me, so that I’d be covered

by Social Security,” said Craft, now 25 and a graduate of the University of Alaska. “My parents and grandparents had to hold me down, because I was Craft screaming as my bone marrow was drawn. It made my mom pass out.”

Thanks to what Craft deemed a precursor of the patient navigator program, her family learned of clinical trials being offered through the ACS, but even then, the project survival level of ALL patients was 4 percent. Craft was one of nine children to go through those trials, and three years later, she was the only one left alive.

“As a cancer survivor, you wind up with PTSD,” Craft said. “Even now, with every little bruise I get, I instinctively think, ‘Oh, no, it’s cancer again.’”

Craft recalled the 17 pills she had to take every day, which her mother turned into a game to make it easier.

“As a child, I was too young to under-

Gala goers donned masks as part of the Tulalip Resort Casino ball to raise money to fight cancer. stand what was happening to me,” Craft said. “As an adult, I’m sorry to those eight other children for every day I’ve taken for granted.”

Craft reported that, thanks to ACS trials such as hers, 90 percent of patients diagnosed with ALL now survive.

“When I applied to college at seventeen, I was asked to write an essay on the person who’d influenced me the most,” Craft said.

“That’s all the people in this room, right

now, because every dollar that’s gone toward funding cancer research has helped save lives, including mine.

“Because of the American Cancer Society, I’ve gone from twenty-four hours to twentyfive years,” she added. “In the twenty-three birthdays I’ve had since then, I’ve had experiences most people can only dream of, and that’s because of you. Not all of us can be doctors, but all of us can give something, and what you gave me was a chance to live.”

Volunteers model community service spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Days of Caring is all about community service.

The volunteers from businesses that participate know it. The people and agencies that get the help know it. And now the grade school students at Pioneer Elementary in Marysville know it, too.

Young students were telling volunteers “Thank You” Sept. 12 as workers from The Everett Clinic, Marysville Globe-Arlington Times, United Way and Pinewood Parent Teacher Student Association cleaned up their school grounds.

About two-dozen volunteers spent four hours putting flowers in planter boxes, edging sidewalks,

SCHOOLS FROM Page 3 ing the McCleary School District settled a lot.

“The state is in contempt for not meeting the mandate of fully funding education,” Lundberg said. “With money a lot of things are possible.”

Also Monday, enrollment figures show Marysville is down 84 students from a year ago. Lakewood is down 42 and Arlington up one.

Finance director Jim Baker said Section 8 housing built in other communities has led to 118 fewer kindergarteners here. “We did not see that coming,” he said. He added that the district has a history of late arrivals so he hopes to have about 150 more students by Oct. 1.

Baker also talked about new valuation numbers from the Snohomish

cleaning mats, sweeping, trimming brush and cleaning the bottom of chairs.

Pinewood Principal Breeze Williams said the school really needs the volunteers because of its huge campus of 15 buildings. The Marysville School District’s grounds crew came for just a week in the summer, and the school’s janitor has been limited because of an injury.

Williams also said the volunteers were “modeling community service.”

She said Pinewood teachers told the students that community service means donating time and doing hard work.

“The kids were keyed up to see” the volunteers, Williams said. “We’re trying to get the parents and students to learn about

community service. It’s an important part of being a good citizen.”

The principal said the school could use more volunteers on a regular basis, especially to read to students.

One parent who does volunteer there, in fact two to six hours a day, is Brittany Ponjavic, vice president of the PTSA. She said last year not many folks volunteered on Days of Caring, so this year’s turnout was “incredible.”

“The kids love it,” she said. “They are getting their school nicely re-done.”

One of the volunteers from The Everett Clinic was Amy Kass. She’s also involved in her own community service project she started last summer. She

exchanges life jackets for water safety with people who have outgrown their old one.

“I’m really involved with this community service stuff,” she said.

Other projects and volunteers involving Marysville and Arlington included: • Tulalip Boys and Girls Club, painting the Teen Center and placing beauty bark, The Everett Clinic.

• All Breed Equine RezQ, CMC Biologics, Payne West Insurance and Chase Bank.

• Habitat for Humanity, fence painting project.

• YMCA of Marysville helped Housing Hope in Everett.

• Senior Aerospace AMT in Arlington helped the Olde Everett Train Station.

County assessor. He said the numbers are up 10 percent, to $6.1 billion. Taxpayers will pay less per $1,000 valuation than expected – $4.29 instead of $4.35.

Baker said that happened even though $111.5 million is no longer on the tax rolls from improvements made on tribal lands. A court made that ruling last summer. The district will be able to recover that $1.4 million loss in a refund levy in 2015 from the rest of the district’s taxpayers.

Baker also discussed collection of Growth Management Act mitigation fees from new construction.

That is part of the six-year Capital Facilities Plan that is updated every two years.

Snohomish County and the city of Marysville collect the tax and give builders a 50 percent discount from what the school district could collect to encourage con-

struction. The district will now get $1,817 for each new single-family home and $1,108 for each new multifamily home. The formula comes from the governments’ understanding that each new home brings an average of half a student to the district. All new growth doesn’t bring “our customers,” Baker said.

In the work session, Baker also talked about the need for the district to hire a collection agency. People owe the district money for all types of services. Currently they are sent letters to try to get them to pay. They are even given the option for payment plans. Baker said the district would pay a 20 percent fee to a collection agency but something is better than nothing. If they still don’t pay, the debt

could be written off.

In other news: •Superintendent Becky Berg talked about going to Spokane for a meeting about charter schools. She said the main advantage of them is they offer a portfolio of choices. But she said this school district already does that. “We have enough individual choices,” she said. Lundberg added: “We did this already. We offer options. This is for others who don’t have a vision on how to do it.” He made it clear he’s not a fan of charter schools. “I hope we don’t lose control of schools to businesses,” he said. Berg said the district needs to offer as much as it can. “If we don’t do the work, others will,” she said.

• Berg gave a plaque to Dell Deierling and Amy

Countywide, there were 700 volunteers participating in the 21st annual Days of Caring. There were 70 teams helping 28 non-

profits on 35 projects, said Neil Parekh, who handled publicity for the event for United Way.

Howell of the Marysville Community Food Bank for “what they do for families and kids.” They were honored for their Food for Thought Backpack Program, which has grown from 20 to more than 300.

“No one goes hungry in our community” is the vision, Deierling said. “Who are we missing?”

• The Marysville Rotary Education Foundation will sell raffle tickets at upcoming Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell high school football games.

Proceeds will go to education. Tom Albright and Chris Nation abstained from voting as they are members. At the earlier work session, Lundberg was worried it would set a precedent. But because it was done before and funds go to

education it passed anyway.

• Board members paid tribute to Mary Jo Miller, who is leaving Mountain View after 28 years. “There’s still a lot of fire in the tank,” Lundberg said. “If we could bottle that we could solve a lot of problems,” Albright added.

• Mariana Maksimos said of her own kids that they were happy to go back so school. “They want to be something when they grow up,” she said. She added that she is proud of the district.

“There is mercy. There is caring. We want to be there for everyone who needs help.”

• The Tulalip Tribes donated more than $114,000 to the district, the quarterly payment for operating the casino.

Dry & CustomSplit Alder, Maple & Douglas Fir Speedy Delivery & Best Prices!

425-312-5489 DRY Firewood, $250 per cord, delivered.

360-691-7597 NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Bikers ride to raise funds for M’ville grade school

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — A day’s ride by more than a dozen bikers will help provide high-tech tools to all the students at Shoultes Elementary.

Members of the Unchained Brotherhood motorcycle club raised $400 for the school through its second annual 120-mile ride Sept. 13, the same day that a clothing drive gener-

ated an additional $600 for Shoultes.

Principal Lynn Heimsoth said: “They’ve been so generous. Beyond the basic admission fee they paid to ride, they all donated a little something extra.”

PTSA President Lori Pietzsch recalled that the proceeds of last year’s ride went toward the purchase of NFL books for the kids, but this year’s funds will be applied more practically.

“It was important to the club that all our kids have access to whatever we spent this money on,” said Heimsoth, who plans to equip the school’s 30 iPad minis with protective cases and screen covers.

“Through our circulating mobile labs, all the students will use these, so these cases and covers should help keep them in good condition, they can last a long time.”

Don “Gunny” Weddle is

a former Marine, a Shoultes parent and the national treasurer of the Unchained Brotherhood.

He said of the money: “We want it to go wherever the school needs it, whether that’s school supplies, field trips or whatever.”

Heimsoth hopes that the iPads will prepare Shoultes students for the future, by teaching them to approach technology and media proactively.

“We want them to learn apps so that they become not just consumers, but creators,” Heimsoth said.

“We have to get them

ready for a global economic environment that’s far different from what we knew when we were growing up,” he added.

‘MadeYaLook’ debuts at Red Curtain Arts Center

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Stephanie Trepanier of Marysville and Emerald Hosey of Everett paint at the ‘MadeYaLook’ event.

MARYSVILLE — Close to 20 volunteers rotated to complete the mural on the front of the Red Curtain Arts Center.

At the same time, a dozen artists from as near as Marysville and Arlington, and as far as Seattle, demonstrated their craft inside, by creating pieces in real time at the Sept. 13 “MadeYaLook” art show.

Red Curtain President Scott Randall commended his foundation’s new

partners, the Public Servants, for helping organize the event, which began at noon and ended after midnight.

“It morphed over the course of the day from a family affair into being geared more toward young adults,” said Randall, who credited the show’s 10 live music acts with setting the tone throughout. “We started with soft solo acoustic players, and by the end of the night, we’d moved into indy rock and experimental sound-bending with VHS players.”

Randall estimated that between 150200 attendees circulated through the

art center during those 12-plus hours, with those numbers peaking between 50-75 visitors at any given time.

“Our artists’ skill levels ranged from professionals to folks who were just starting out, but by working on their pieces while they were here, they all brought more energy to this show than if they’d just had static displays,” Randall said.

“It was very exciting, but by the end of the day, I think we were all very tired.” For more information, log onto Red Curtain’s website at www.redcurtainfoundation.org.
