Finding effective justice Alternatives Program seeks to hold offenders accountable but also figure out solutions to underlying social issues. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — The judge ordered the woman to write an essay about how her crimes affect the community. Two other women were told they likely will be kicked out of the program for not obeying the rules. For more than an hour Everett Municipal Court Judge Laura Van Slyck checked in with about 15 defendants participating in the city’s Community Justice Alternatives Program. She asked about their medications and reminded some that they needed to work on getting a job or finding more stable housing. The majority of the participants in the year-old program See JUSTICE, Page A8

Recently appointed Snohomish County AIrport director Arif Ghouse has a wide-open view of the tarmac and tower at the 1,300-acre facility.

The view from Paine New director has plenty of experience with passenger airports, but says he still has some listening to do here By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

EVERETT — No two airports are exactly alike, but Paine Field’s new director says he’s never seen one quite like the Snohomish County airport. Arif Ghouse has worked at major airports serving London, Houston and Seattle, but none serve as many distinct groups as Paine Field. The airport’s users and tenants include flight schools, manufacturers, museums, private fliers, schools and maintenance, repair and overhaul operations. “I’ve been here two months, so I’m still in the listening mode,” Ghouse said in his

lilting British accent. The 49-year-old was born in Hyderabad, India. His family moved to the United Kingdom when he was 3, and he lived there until he moved to the U.S. at 29. “My job is to understand everybody’s interests,” he said. That means learning about manufacturing and general aviation, two things he has little experience with. This fall, Snohomish County Executive John Lovick and two County Councilmen — Dave Somers and Brian Sullivan — picked Ghouse to succeed Paine Field’s longtime director, Dave Waggoner. The County Council is expected to approve Ghouse’s selection this month.

Ghouse came here from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. He was drawn to Paine Field, in part, by its reputation in the industry, he said. “People always want to be associated with success.” “I have inherited a very wellrun” airport with “a great staff,” he said. Paine Field has about 50 employees and a $19 million budget. It has rapidly grown in recent decades, and more growth is on the horizon. The airport’s biggest user — the Boeing Co. — has substantially increased and expanded production at its adjacent Everett factory in the past 20 years. To support the

787 Dreamliner assembly lines, Boeing and the airport collaborated on building facilities to support Atlas Air’s Dreamlifters — the over-sized 747 cargo planes that deliver 787 wing and fuselage sections. Boeing is growing again. In 2014, it broke ground on new buildings for the new 777X jetliner. Several workforce training programs also call the airport home. Four aerospace museums operate facilities, including the Future of Flight & Boeing Tour, which draws more than 250,000 visitors a year. Another tenant, Aviation See PAINE, Page A8
