ACLU challenges Arlington on homeless laws

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The city’s measures to deal with the problems of homelessness and aggressive panhandling have drawn fire from a

national civil rights group.

On Feb. 9, city attorney Steve Peiffle presented a revised draft of the city’s law regarding solicitation and unlawful camping. The city had received a letter from the American

Civil Liberties Union, suggesting the changes. After Peiffle had sent the ACLU a revised draft in line with their suggestions, the ACLU sent another reply, which he and city staff haven’t reviewed yet.

When council member Debora Nelson asked for the police perspective on the ACLU’s suggestions, Deputy Police Chief Jonathan SEE ACLU, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE – Mayor Jon Nehring has a dilemma concerning the homeless.

While he has compassion for their plight, he also has compassion for the community that may not want to deal with some of the issues the homeless can cause. He wants to strike a balance.

He said the problem is too big for

$79

the city to handle alone. It will take a regional solution, and he will be meeting this month with Snohomish County and Everett officials to discuss what can be done.

He mentioned a psychiatric hospital planned at Smokey Point and homeless shelter planned in Everett as bigpicture solutions.

“The elephant in the room is mental health,” Nehring said. “We just don’t

have the facilities. They need help to be self-sustaining.”

The county has requested $1.6 million in state funding to renovate the Carnegie Library, adjacent to the county jail in Everett, for low-level offenders with addictions and/or mental illness, many of whom are homeless.

The renovation cost is $2.1 million.

MARYSVILLE – On a cold December morning, Father Dwight P. Lewis woke up and found four homeless people sleeping on his porch.

The rectory was undergoing renovations, and the four used leftover cardboard to block themselves from the wind.

Later, Lewis found three more homeless in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church dumpster. And three more were sleeping across 88th Street from the church at the cemetery. Lewis said that convinced the parish that they needed to help.

“They were already here on the property, sleeping in the yard,” he said.

“Regardless of what you think of them, they are not trash, they are human beings. You cannot just wish them away.”

Lewis admitted not everyone was excited about opening a shelter at the church.

County’s 10-year plan to end homelessness won’t hit mark

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

In 2006, Snohomish County set a goal of ending homelessness by 2016. In hindsight, the county can see how naive that goal was.

But there has been progress made in parts of the plan.

One thing the Everyone at Home Now plan helped initiate is community partnerships that led to a continuum of care homelessness governing board. It receives and disseminates grants for the homeless, said Robin Hood, a grants manager for county Human Services.

Another thing that started nine years ago is the Point In Time count. Volunteers ask homeless people a short list of questions, such as

how long they have been homeless. Then the volunteers inform them where they could get temporary housing, mental health services, and drug and alcohol counseling.

During the 2014 count, 1,272 individuals in 922 households reported they had no permanent place to stay. Of those individuals, 314 (or 26 percent) were younger than 18. The yearly survey is required by federal agencies that send taxpayer money to the county and to local community groups that provide social services to the homeless.

“These really need to be accurate,” Hood said of the data. So now, homeless also are asked for their birth date and initials to their name,

too. That kept some homeless from being counted.

“There needs to be a balance,” Hood said. “We don’t want to be scaring people away.”

10-year plan at a glance Vision: We view homelessness as intolerable. Our vision is that every person in Snohomish County has safe and affordable housing.

Prevention: Every day homelessness erodes the stability of all county residents. The causes of homelessness are numerous and complex. Preventing homelessness is the most costeffective solution, in both financial and human terms.

Six long-term initiatives: • Increase housing for the homeless by 2,500 units

“These really need to be accurate. There needs to be a balance. We don’t want to be scaring people away.”

Robin Hood, county Human Services grants manager over 10 years.

• Increasing resources for prevention will keep families and individuals housed, conserving limited community resources.

• A community-wide system that reduces the duration of homelessness, improves the use of housing resources, and assists in improving identification of housing and service needs will make rehousing and prevention efforts more efficient.

• Accurate and timely needs assessments and outcome data will be used to make sure appropriate funding decisions are made.

• Provide funding to maintain existing housing and services that demonstrate measurable outcomes

and overall progress towards ending homelessness.

• Creation of and increase in the number of housing types and resources, including creating barrier-free housing for individuals not eligible for other housing options due to their history of criminal activity, difficult behavior, drug addiction, sex crimes, and/or chronic mental health issues.

The county plan advocates for partnership between the Department of Social and Health Services and service providers to improve procedures contributing to homelessness.

Among the actions: advocating for policies that ensure viable housing plans are in place for youth exiting foster care, for the tem-

porarily unemployable due to disability, and for those being released from jails, hospitals and similar institutions.

The plan also says the county needs: • to provide longer-term, career-based employment services.

• more primary healthcare providers to serve the homeless.

• more treatment resources and housing for people with mental illness and chemical addition.

• more housing for people with disabilities to help them become as independent as possible.

• at least 50 units of housing for the chronically homeless, those with mental illness who can access services and live independently.

• to increase services for youths 16-24 so they don’t become homeless.

• 200 housing units over the next 10 years for veteran housing.

• to help prisoners better understand how to re-enter society after incarceration.

Hood said he was unable to give an update on how far the county has come in the nine years in meeting its goals.

Ventura said there needs to be “more conversations.”

“Is the ACLU going after everyone with similar ordinances?” council member Jan Schuette asked.

Peiffle replied: “I don’t know about anyone other than us, but I have to assume this is a high priority for them.”

Even as a self-described supporter of free speech, Schuette admitted she was “upset” by the ACLU’s suggested revisions to a law that she characterized as effective and popular with citizens.

“I think the intent of what we were trying to do with it is still there,” Mayor Barbara Tolbert said, “as long as we focus on highlighting public safety, because we need those tools in our box.”

Schuette asked Peiffle if the Association of Washington Cities had offered any guidance on this matter, but Peiffle was not aware of any.

“Ordinances like these tend to vary so widely between cities anyway,” Peiffle said.

Jeff A., right, says hi to a man he has seen on the streets while eating at the new shelter.

not in my back yard,” Lewis said. “They look to somebody else. We couldn’t do that because they are here. They showed up for us to help them.”

St. Mary’s decided it could open a shelter one night a week. They decided on Friday because that’s when most of the 100 volunteers said they could work.

One of the volunteers, Willie Cardona, is a cook.

“It’s sad to see their situation, but we can give them a leg up, a safe place to sleep and a nice meal,” Cardona said. They are “just like anybody else, through no fault of their own at times.”

Not only do volunteers cook dinner and breakfast, homeless also take with them when they leave a sack lunch of fruit, water, energy bars and sandwiches.

The helpers show up around 6 p.m. In the cafeteria they put out cots, mattresses, blankets and dividers to separate men, women and women with kids.

The homeless show up around 7 p.m. and eat a hot meal. They go to bed at 10 p.m. and awake at 6 a.m.

They eat breakfast then are sent on their way.

The first night the shelter opened, Jan. 9, they had four homeless. But as word got out that number grew to 14. With Mayor Jon Nehring helping to speed up the permitting process, the church got the shelter going in just about a month.

“My dream is that other churches will participate and take another day,” Lewis said. “We can’t really do it here yet every day.

Everybody should do something to help these people.”

He said the community is helping the night become a success. While the church has put $3,000 into it, many

“Before we didn’t see them. They were invisible.”

Father Dwight P. Lewis donations of food are coming in, and a laundry service has agreed to wash linens for free. Lewis said while 10 percent of homeless want to be that way, for 90 percent it is “just life. They are us. We are not that much different.

It doesn’t take much” to end up homeless.

Lewis said he is proud the parish took on the mission.

“It’s not me playing goody two shoes,” he said. Lewis said he didn’t want to run the homeless off to Everett where there are more facilities if they want to live here.

He referred to the bible verse of Matthew 25:35, which reads: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”

“Before we didn’t see them. They were invisible,” Father Lewis said.

As for the homeless, Dusty Stogdell, who has been on the streets since Jan. 16, said he was treated really well at St. Mary’s.

Along with the night stay and meals, Stogdell received a bed and food for his cat, Zander. “They’re generous, giving, thoughtful, helpful and spiritual,” Stogdell said.

“This is really nice that they set this up for people without a home.”

He said the facilities were excellent, and he was even able to get some clothes washed and was given a warm coat. Stogdell said he has had problems making ends meet since his mom died 2 1/2 years ago. He has a voucher for state Section 8 housing, so he knows he will get a place eventually.

He’s been homeless before,

but “not this long.”

Jeff A. said he came to the mission for food. “I thought they just fed people,” he said.

“Then I found out I could stay the night if I wanted to.”

Jeff said he has been on the streets for a month, “but I’m making it work.”

He was happy to find out that the parish is putting in showers. Lewis said showers being built in the men’s and women’s bathrooms near the kitchen should be ready in a few weeks. Jeff said that is a huge problem for the homeless.

“There’s no place to take a shower,” he said. “They get dirty and stinky. How are you supposed to get a job if you can’t present yourself?”

Jeff said some homeless turn to drugs and alcohol to “dull the senses because they don’t want to be in touch with their feelings.”

“Not everybody is helpable,” he said. Jeff said it is “hard on the street,” trying to find out what all is available. He said he tried to call the social service emergency number 211, but had to “jump through a lot of hoops.”

Another problem he has had is people stealing his stuff. He said he wished there was somewhere where possessions could be locked up. “Why do people have to steal,” said Jeff, who travels by bicycle. He said homeless have to find hiding places. “I hope my stuff is still there,” he said.

• Causes of homelessness include: poverty, fleeing domestic violence, mental illness, alcohol and substance abuse, criminal background, and aging out of foster care.

• Needs are day and night shelters; transitional housing; linkage to services for children; and day care.

• Homeless lists their needs as: Affordable housing, job search assistance, laundromat, food, educational information, a place to clean up/shower, budget assistance, dental care, help getting food stamps and bus tickets.

• The majority of homeless students live in doubled‐up accommodations, and a large portion live in a shelter or hotel. Marysville reported 145 students were homeless.

• A need is a shelter that would allow students to remain in the

If it receives approval from the state Department of Health, it could open late this year or early 2016.

Nehring also said that Gordon Meade, 425-9213478, can help homeless who are veterans as part of a Workforce program.

The mayor said the city isn’t big enough to build a shelter, staff it and provide insurance. But it can partner with service groups and faith organizations, which “fortunately have stepped up.” He cited the Damascus Church as opening a coldweather shelter last year.

Nehring said as mayor he can clear obstacles in permitting to help groups who want to help the homeless. He did just that when helping St. Mary’s Catholic Church start up a shelter on Friday nights just this year.

On the other side of the coin, both the cities of Marysville and Arlington have cracked down on homeless, especially panhandlers, who prey on other citizens. Marysville has focused on getting home-

less out of downt o w n , especially near Comeford Park and the boat launch. “We’ve had business owners who’ve crawled over homeless to get into their stores,” Nehring said.

The city also has tried to clean up around Safeway and Fred Meyer. There have even been issues with fires at homeless encampments on 116th. “Crews cleaned up a real mess there,” Nehring said.

Signs have been put up at ramps off of Interstate 5 to try to keep away panhandlers. It is a safety concern for them and others when they dart in between cars trying to get money.

“The police just try to move them along,” Nehring said. “It’s not productive putting them in and out of jail.”

The mayor said the city really wants to crack down on the homeless involved in criminal activity. He talked of a van from the Mountlake Terrace area that fills up with panhandlers coming to this area to beg.

“We want to help the truly vulnerable who are part of this community,” Nehring said. “But we don’t want to attract people to come and prey on our community.”

The jail is seeing an increasing number of inmates with mental illness and/or addictions, and is not equipped to handle psychiatric treatment or detoxification, presenting safety concerns for inmates and staff. Managing resultant behaviors drives up jail costs and low-level offenders are released before adequate care can be provided, resulting in re-offense, the county says.

Homeless offenders are released with nowhere to go, resulting in revolving door jail bookings. The county is proposing transitional housing with 20 beds, chemical dependency and mental health counseling, employment assistance and enrolling participants in health plans.

State Sen. John McCoy and Rep. June Robinson are leading the way in obtaining the state money.

Also, a Texas-based company plans to build a 75-bed psychiatric hospital in Smokey Point that would include the county’s first inpatient psychiatric unit for children and adolescents. The $18.8 million, 60,000-square-foot facility would be built on a 4-acre site at 15621 Smokey Point Blvd. and would have a workforce of about 200, said

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

IN OUR VIEW

Help the homeless The homeless in Marysville and Arlington need shelter, one of life’s three basic needs, along with food and water.

Many of them would be satisfied with a tent city, but we can do better than that.

Both towns have been behind many other communities in helping these forgotten people. Marysville just got started last year with a cold-weather shelter, thanks to the Damascus Church. In Arlington, various churches share the responsibility, but again, only in freezing temperatures.

St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marysville is leading the way in a new effort that would surpass what most other communities are doing. It is opening its doors on Friday nights starting this year to provide shelter for the homeless.

They provide a hot dinner and breakfast, along with a sack lunch to take with them. They provide cots, mattresses and blankets to sleep on. But St. Mary’s needs help. They, and we, would like to see the local faith community provide shelter the other six days of the week.

The amount of money St. Mary’s has spent on its shelter is minimal. While it has 100 volunteers it certainly wouldn’t take that many to operate most church shelters. Donations of sleeping supplies certainly could be obtained for free or low cost in these two generous cities. Food certainly should not be hard to come by in donations either, from places such as food banks and grocery stores. Most of the towns’ churches have as much space as St. Mary’s does for a shelter. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring helped St. Mary’s get its needed permits in record time. Arlington likely would do the same.

While both cities have gotten tough on panhandlers especially and homeless loitering in public areas, they also have shown compassion toward the homeless, specifically those with mental illness who have no where else to turn.

Homeless, at least in Marysville, seem to be able to get food and water every day but Sunday at either a church or social agency. But finding shelter is a constant battle.

Most churches have a goal of helping those in need. They have missions all over the world. So why not help those in our own community who have fallen on hard times, sometimes through no fault of their own. Many of us are only one job loss away from joining them.

The homeless are among our most-vulnerable citizens.

We as a society look to help so many others, why not them?

Letters to the editor Support tourism bills

Tourism is the fourthlargest industry in our state, yet Washington is the only state in the U.S. that does not have a robust tourism promotion program – since the legislature closed the state tourism office in 2011.

Now two equivalent bills, House Bill 1938 and Senate Bill 5916, have been introduced that would enable the state to begin actively marketing again to potential visitors.

Visitors are good for local business.

When out-of-state travelers spend money on hotels, restaurants, shopping and transportation, they not only help those businesses, they pay taxes that benefit Washingtonians.

Visitor spending in Washington generates $400 in tax revenue for each Washington household – which means a $400 reduction in annual household taxes for each

family.

Snohomish County benefits greatly from tourism.

Visitors spend $930 million in the county annually, contributing more than $67.3 million in state and local tax revenues.

By spending money at local businesses, visitors support employment of county residents.

The Washington Tourism Alliance is aiming to re-establish a statewide tourism marketing program via HB 1938 and SB 5916. These bills don’t contain any state

funding; instead they ask the state to help collect funds – because the state already has the collection mechanism in place while the WTA doesn’t. Funding would be generated by the tourism industry through assessments and voluntary contributions. Through these assessments, the WTA estimates a $7.5 million target budget.

HB 1938 and SB 5916 make good business sense – they will help increase travel to Washington, visitor spending, jobs and tax revenues.

Transportation deal closer

The wait is nearly over.

Senate Republicans, after two years of avoidance, are putting the final touches on a multibilliondollar transportation package.

It’s what Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee has persistently demanded of GOP lawmakers. His public pressure — remember how he called them out in last year’s State of the State address — coupled with the private lobbying of business leaders, certainly motivated Republicans to reach this point this early in the session.

But the governor is likely to be sparing in his praise of their handiwork. This package — crafted in part through negotiations with Democrats — delivers a bipartisan rejection of his signature climatechange initiatives.

Its major funding source would be a gas tax increase of between 11.5 and 14 cents, not revenue from the cap-and-trade program for carbon emissions he’s pushed.

And Republicans apparently are ready to pump more dollars into public transit in exchange for Democrats agreeing to delay — maybe even halt — action on a new carbon fuel standard that Inslee’s administration has begun writing. The deal also calls for

GOP senators to allow Sound Transit to ask voters to fund expansions into Everett and Tacoma.

Inslee’s not going to wave the Cornfield white flag on his initiatives. Instead, he can focus on making sure the counterproposal that will be drawn up in the Democrat-controlled House keeps one or both of them alive.

Meanwhile, don’t look for House Speaker Frank Chopp, D-Seattle, to applaud the accomplishment of Senate Republicans too loudly either.

By this time next week, that bundle of transportation joy could be outside his door, and he’ll be fielding questions about what he wants to do and when he wants to do it.

Some around the Capitol think Chopp should press for swift action by the House, rapidly consummate a deal with the Senate and get it signed by the governor. This would give everyone a chance to collectively relish an accomplishment on what’s been a divisive issue.

Acting soon, they argue, also would give Democrats a little breathing space before they start

seriously talking about taxes they want to raise to pay for education and government services. That’s going to be a difficult conversation that will last until the end of session in late April and maybe beyond. Leaving a decision on a gas tax increase until then would only make it harder.

On the other hand, Chopp may find more value in waiting and using the transportation package as leverage for securing votes for those other taxes.

There are those who contend there will be lawmakers in both parties willing to pledge support for a new or higher tax for the budget if their pet transportation project is funded.

But, they contend, acting too soon on transportation could allow those lawmakers to change their minds later.

Back in the Senate, after two years of being the ones watched, Republicans surely can’t wait to be the ones watching.

Course gets new leader

MARYSVILLE – The City Council voted Feb. 9 to have Premier Golf Centers take over management of the city’s Cedarcrest Golf Course.

The cost will be $8,000 a month, plus more depending on if incentives are met, Mayor Jon Nehring said Feb. 10.

Nehring said parks director Jim Ballew went through the contract with the council to make sure it was what everyone wanted.

Premier has helped other troubled Northwest municipal courses turn a profit quickly, including Walter Hall and Legion Memorial in Everett and Lynnwood Golf Course.

Premier’s call center directs golfers to other courses within its family when tee times are filled.

Premier also bundles packages to give golfers more bang for their buck.

Premier officials say they also market the entire operation, not just green fees, including: the pro shop, golf lessons, golf carts, and food and beverage. They also would like to expand the use of the facility with events such as small corporate tournaments, and summer jazz and dinner offerings.

State agency provides $5 million for M’ville railroad bypass freeway project cwinters@heraldnet.com.

MARYSVILLE — The city’s plan to build a new freeway interchange at the south end of town got a boost from a little-known government agency.

The state Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board has pledged $5 million for the proj-

ect, which would allow traffic to get on or off Interstate 5 using Highway 529. The project would add an offramp from northbound I-5 to Highway 529, and also an onramp from southbound 529 to I-5. That would allow traffic to get to the freeway without having to cross the railroad tracks at Fourth Street. Long trains passing through

Marysville frequently back up traffic onto the freeway and cause gridlock in town.

City leaders hope the contribution from the board will make it easier for the city to obtain the rest of the project’s funding from the state or federal government.

So far, planning, permitting and design of the project has cost about

$3 million, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said. The city also has been working with other local governments, including Snohomish County, which contributed $500,000 to the project.

The board’s action comes with a deadline, however: the $5 million promise is only good through the 2019-2021, said Ashley Probart,

BUSINESS SERVICES Landscaping

the board’s executive director.

The interchange project is estimated to cost up to $40 million.

Nehring said that ideally the project’s funding would be included in the state transportation package. But if it has to go the federal route it might mean that not all the money would be available at once, requiring it to be done in phases.

Childcare will be provided.

M-ville to ask for delay in 24 credit requirement “It’s in the best interest of the students.”

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville School District has decided to ask the state for a two-year delay in requiring students to earn 24 credit to graduate from high school.

“It’s in the best interest of the students,” Ray Houser, assistant superintendent, said at the school board meeting Feb. 9.

The district gave the State Board of Education a number of reasons why a delay is needed, even though it would only increase the credit requirement by one.

“We had a significant tragedy that set work back,” he said. Also, “there’s inequity in the high schools; they don’t look alike right now.” He added that more teachers will be needed.

Superintendent Becky Berg said a lot of planning and communication needs to take place before 24 credits should become a requirement. School board member Pete Lundberg added, “Support must be in place to help students who need it.”

In other school news: • Shelly Johnson and Brandon Carson, two coaches at MarysvillePilchuck High School,

Johnson was named to the Washington State Athletic Association Volleyball Hall of Fame for coaching 20 years at M-PHS and obtaining a 415-115 record, including a runnerup at state. Carson was named state Football Coach of the Year by the Seattle Seahawks.

• Marysville-Pilchuck coprincipals Rob Lowry and Deann Anguiano and vice principal Lori Stolee gave an update on their school.

Anguiano said teachers are working collaboratively on classroom assessments and that students in biology and math are receiving extra help if needed. Stolee said a multi-tiered matrix of behavior expectations and systems of support is being developed. “We plan to teach expectations to kids on the first day” of school, she said, adding mental and emotional needs also are being addressed. Lowry said students are learning the eight basic questions of “elements of thought” so they can analyze and have a deeper understanding and full comprehension of material. Berg said: “Thank you on so many, many, many, many levels. You have rallied the students and staff emotionally and spiritually to keep that school moving” since the shooting in October.

• Board members Chris Nation and Lundberg talked about a recent trip to

Washington, D.C., to talk to U.S. Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, and U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen.

Lundberg said the federal government looks like it finally will update No Child Left Behind. “Both sides want change,” he said of Republicans and Democrats.

He and Nation also pushed for 40 percent funding for special education students, a law passed in 2004 that still hasn’t happened. Lundberg said Marysville’s district now gets 17 percent. Nation said they expected a blockade like last year, but “it’s a different atmosphere this year,” he said. Hopefully we will “get more opportunities for children.”

• Athletic director Greg Erickson presented awards to “Get up and go” winners: students Terrell Rosario of Liberty Elementary, Chirag Mahant of Grove, Stacy Chermomor of Cascade, Carson Serge of Kellogg Marsh, Mariah Ferrell of Allen Creek, and fitness teachers Shawn Sparks of Liberty, Todd Smith of Kellogg, Cathy Johnson of Allen Creek, Ross Hawkins of Cascade and Gayle Bluhm of Grove.

Arlington’s bus levy failing again

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Less than a third of the Feb. 10 special election ballots have been counted, but it doesn’t look good for the Arlington School District’s proposed transportation levy if current trends hold.

Of the 18,915 ballots issued, 5,646 were counted as of 3:31 p.m. Feb. 11. Of the 5,639 that voted on the transportation levy, 2,961

voted no, while 2,678 voted yes. The levy is losing by 52.51 percent to 47.49 percent.

When the district ran its $3 million levy proposal last fall, to replace 26 of its 53 buses, the measure received around 48 percent approval, just shy of the simple majority needed to pass.

Andrea Conley, public information coordinator for the district, noted that the previous proposal asked for 49 cents per $1,000 of

assessed valuation, whereas the February measure would have lowered that to 43 cents in the first year and 41 cents in the second year.

“We believe we presented to our voters the most prudent plan which would have maximized the use of state dollars,” superintendent Kristine McDuffy said.

“Unfortunately, the ‘make do’ plan will necessitate the use of dollars that would have otherwise been available for classrooms.”

expect to dispense an estimated $13,800 before the show this fall.

Sue Keezer of the Arlington food bank and Dell Deierling of the Marysville food bank credited the monies with helping them serve not only Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, but also backpacks full of food for school kids over weekends.

“Unfortunately, we’re still a growing business,” said Deierling, who noted that 13 Marysville, Tulalip and Lakewood schools have received 9,000 backpacks and 72,000 pounds of food among them.

Keezer pointed out

that last year’s move to a new food bank facility in Arlington, coupled with the demands of the Oso slide, complicated their work further.

“Without what you’ve given us, we wouldn’t have been able to provide for our clients,” said Keezer, who reported that Arlington served 5,000 people.

Chuck Nichols, faculty advisor for the MarysvillePilchuck High School auto shop program, has been able to expand the program to serve all six high schools in the district.

“It’s the first year in some time that we’ve had girls in the program,” Nichols said.

Car show funds distributed to locals

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

As proceeds from the 11th annual Arlington Drag Strip Reunion and Car Show were distributed to community groups, Bill Kinney talked of what that money has meant to the Arlington Boys & Girls Club.

Kinney recalled that when the club started in Arlington, the city only had about 2,000 residents.

Twenty-four years later, the club has 2,400 members.

Kinney conducts the car show in conjunction with the Port Gardner Vintage Auto Club each September.

Local teams advance

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

TULALIP — The Tulalip Heritage boys basketball team won its first 1B district playoff game against Cedar Park Christian 76-50 Feb. 10.

The Hawks came into districts with a 13-5 record, but coach Marlin Fryberg wanted to approach the playoffs with a different mindset.

“What we focused on with the kids is that it’s a new season, and all those league games mean nothing,” he said. “They showed that intensity. The boys are really excited and played good basketball.”

Ayrik Miranda led the Hawks with 22 points with four 3-point goals.

Teammate Jesse Louie added 21 points.

“It’s just one game at a time I keep telling the kids,” Fryberg said. “Hopefully we can get to Spokane again for the state tournament.”

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Getchell girls basketball team lost to Arlington 62-40 Feb. 9, won a 3A North tiebreaker against Oak Harbor 36-22 Feb. 10 but fell short of entering districts losing to Shorewood 54-42 Feb. 11.

“We played over twenty games. That’s huge,” coach Shannon Grandbois said.

Jesse Louie drives down the lane in the playoff game.

“To make it to a play-in game is huge for this program. It says a lot about what these girls went through.”

In the Chargers final game, Carley Wika led with 10 points but Gabby Grandbois combined for 35 points and 10 3-pointers in the previous three games.

“They’re fighters,” Grandbois said. “We battled the entire time I coached in this program. The Lady Chargers never gave up and they showed that.”

MG finished with a 10-12 record.

MARYSVILLE — A three-pointer in the final seconds of overtime put the Tomahawks back 69-66 against Stanwood Feb. 10.

Despite MarysvillePilchuck’s Michael Painter

scoring a game-high 30 points, Stanwood’s Karsten Chaplik scored 29 and the game-winning shot.

“That was an unbelievable shot,” M-P coach Bary Gould said. “And he was an unbelievable player too, and proved it in all aspects of the game.”

But M-P is still in the 3A district playoffs, seeded No. 3 against No. 6 Ferndale Saturday, Feb. 14.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys basketball team defeated Marysville Getchell 78-50 Feb. 10 Nathan Aune led the Eagles with 19 points and teammate Drew Bryson added 17. For MG, Cameron Burns scored 11 points and Deyon Robertson added 10.

SEE BALL, PAGE 11

MARYSVILLE — Marysville Getchell senior captain Deyon Robertson plays guard and is also a “second coach” on the court.

Along with being one of the team’s high scorers, Robertson had to bring fusion to his team and help out with coaching.

“It’s hard to talk to all five guys on the floor,” MG coach Corby Schuh said, as Robertson helped coordinate plays on the court.

“I’m really impressed with how the team has come together with all the new players we had,” Robertson said. “At the end of the day we have to be happy with what everyone put in.”

Though MG has only won four of its 19 games, they’ve still played close games against some of the topped ranked schools in the Wesco 3A. MG’s basketball program has only been around for four years.

“We’ve played against the toughest teams in the league, they’ve all been good,” Robertson said. “A lot of teams respect us for that.”

Robertson has averaged 16 points a game, along with eight rebounds and two assists, and has completed three dunks.

“He’s very athletic for sure,” Schuh said. “He can jump very well, has good hands and knows how to use his body when getting rebounds.”

Along with his skills and leadership, Robertson also maintains a 3.47 GPA. “I think kids that work hard in the classroom also shows up on the basketball court,” Schuh said.

Robertson will lead his team in one more league game, against No. 3-ranked Arlington.

“Personally I have goals in getting another dunk,” he said. “As a team, I hope we flow as an offense and play good basketball.”

Robertson has improved his perimeter shooting as well as his leadership skills, Schuh said.

“He’s pretty much made me into a leader,” Robertson said. “My coach has really pushed me to do my best and has set the bar higher.”

MG Charger guard Deyon Robertson spins a ball on his finger.

His outside game will be important when he plays in college, Schuh said.

“He needs to work on his jump shot and ball handling,” Schuh said. “He has the work ethic.”

Robertson is an athletic kid but is only 6-foot3. What he lacks in inches he makes up for with hard work and discipline.

“I take pride in the weight room,” he said. “A lot of kids that are tall do not have the upper body strength that I do.”

It’s also helped that he’s played other sports to hone his athletic skills like track and football.

“In football you gotta be tough, and it’s helped me

learn how to drive through people,” he said.

Skills Robertson has learned from the hardwood are teamwork and “mental toughness.”

“Everything is mental,” he said. “You have to have the right frame of mind to get the job done” and also “being open to criticism and taking the time to do the things the right way.”

After high school, Robertson wants to study engineering and computer science.

He has received invitations from NCAA Division 2 and 3 schools and has desires to play Pacific Lutheran, Saint Martin’s or Seattle Pacific.

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck junior Calvin Walker started a boys volleyball team for fun last year.

“I love the atmosphere and playing with all the guys,” he said. “People are having fun and are all talking friendly trash.”

This year, they will “play for Todd,” Walker said.

Todd Bevan was M-P’s assistant basketball coach but has been diagnosed with cancer. His son, Josh, is a star on the team.

Walker wants his volleyball team, of which Josh is a member, to do well in the Mash Volleyball Tournament, which started Feb. 11. If it wins the tourney, it can win prize money, which the team will donate to the American Cancer Society in honor of Bevan.

Walker’s team was second in the tourney last year, and is 6-1 so far this year.

Josh is happy with the team’s effort to support his dad. “I feel good.

“Everybody loves my dad and is like everyone’s second dad,” Josh said.

Walker added: “I love Todd. He’s so impactful and was really into basketball.”

Calvin has known Josh since they played Little League on a team Bevan coached.

Walker’s team is inspired by his favorite movie, “Semi-Pro,” starring Will Ferrell. He bought replica jerseys, shorts and other accessories for about $400.

“Let’s get Tropical” is their motto.

“I found them and then I had to piece them together,” he said.

“I pretty much wanted to make a team like them.”

Eagle has landed in Arlington

By Kirk Boxleitner

kboxleitner@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON – Even at the 8th Annual Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival, “You don’t argue with an eagle.”

That’s what Robert Lee, the handler for a 17-year-old bald eagle named Freedom from the Sarvey Wildlife Center, said to festival goers at the Arlington City Council Chambers Feb. 7.

“These are still wild animals, even if they are tame,” he added.

Sarvey matches its birds with their own handlers to avoid agitating the animals.

Justin Vallesillo of Whidbey Island uses a chainsaw to carve a bird of prey. And Joe Ancheta shows off a red-tail hawk named Ista at the event.

“When you look them right in the eyes, it’s a different experience.”

Kestrel SkyHawk, Sarvey Wildlife Center “When she was three months old, she fell out of her nest and broke both wings,” Lee said. “Her right wing healed just fine, but her left wing was broken in three separate places, so she never gained full extension and can’t fly.”

Fellow Sarvey volunteer Joe Ancheta handles Ista, a 10-year-old

peregrine falcon who’s suffered psychological damage.

“She refuses to hunt, but she’ll eat dead animals,” Ancheta said. “This makes it impossible for her to survive in the wild.”

Kestrel SkyHawk noted that Sarvey spends an average of $152 per animal, with a total of 2,951 patients in 2013. As such, the nonprofit is always seeking donations.

“We really like bringing our birds here for the festival, so people can see animals that they wouldn’t normally have a chance to study this close,” SkyHawk said. “When you can look them right in the eyes, it’s a different experience.”

New center shortens trips for local kidney patients

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Marysville might not seem like a short commute from Burlington, but for dialysis patient Patrice Romero, it’s more convenient than going to Oak Harbor.

“At least I can take the freeway, rather than winding my way along mountain roads and Deception Pass,” said Romero, who comes to the recently opened DaVita Pilchuck Dialysis Center at 1250 State Ave. Romero is at the clinic three days a week, five hours daily. She was connected to DaVita through National Kidney Foundation, since she can’t buy insurance.

Will Penrose, group facilities administrator for the seven DaVita clinics from West Seattle to Whidbey Island, noted that

DaVita has a dialysis clinic in Everett, and the Puget Sound Kidney Center in Smokey Point also offers dialysis. But given that Romero’s clinic hours are typical for his dialysis patients, even those short distances are prohibitive.

“In terms of hours and days per week that they have to come into a clinic to do this, it’s practically a part-time job for them, just to be able to receive life-sustaining care,” Penrose said. “That’s why we work around their lives as much as we can, with three shifts each day we’re open. We’re concerned with their clinical outcomes, but also with their quality of life.”

Of the Marysville clinic’s 10 patients, eight had previously gone to DaVita’s Everett clinic, including Charles Moorhead of Tulalip and Glenn Kumura of Lake Stevens. Like

Romero, they agreed that the hours spent sitting in their chairs and receiving dialysis was the toughest part, but they all credited the clinic’s staff with making the experience as pleasant as possible.

“Jeanne [Rather] is my favorite person,” Romero said, referring to the Marysville clinic’s facilities administrator who arranged for her to come here from Oak Harbor.

Rather and her staff of one nurse and two patient care technicians serve patients Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, but she expects staffing to expand to 18. Likewise,

the clinic has eight dialysis chairs, but has the capacity to expand to 14, which would allow the clinic to serve as many as 48 patients.

Rather explained that the clinic not only offers in-clinic hemodialysis, such as Romero, Moorhead and Kumura receive, but it also provides patients with the twoweek training for at-home peritoneal dialysis, which affords them more flexibility in their work and life schedules.

“We educate patients about what dialysis entails, and what their options are, so there are no misconceptions,” Rather said.

Penrose added: “Even outside of the dialysis treatments, we do social work and surveys to determine what areas they’re experiencing difficulty with, whether it’s insurance issues or making doctor’s appointments, and we work with them to overcome those things.”

Schools to help parents be tough regarding academics

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Parental apathy is a concern in Newtown, Conn., two years after 20 children were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Marysville School District Recovery Director Mary Schoenfeldt found that out during a recent trip to the East Coast. Following the killings at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in October, Schoenfeldt is trying to learn all she can to help this community heal.

“They are not parenting the same way as before the shooting,” Schoenfeldt said at a district work session. “They are trying to avoid conflicts with their kids. They’re so thankful their child is alive.”

While that is understandable, the local school board agreed that is not in the best interest of the child. As an example, Schoenfeldt said a parent won’t take an I-phone away or stop their child from playing video games to make them do their homework. “Parents won’t draw that line,” she said.

Board member Mariana Maksimos said: “We can’t let that happen. The kids will get lost.”

District officials agreed they will need to reach out to parents and help them in their efforts to make sure their kids continue to care about academics. Superintendent Becky Berg mentioned the district’s Parent Academy could be one way to connect with parents.

Schoenfeldt said in Newtown she talked with the superinten-

dent, police chief, board members, counselors, teachers and community members. We should have sought “mental health help sooner” was a common comment from all, the recovery director said.

That was done from the start at M-PHS. “We have built an infrastructure of services for community wellness,” Schoenfeldt said, adding building relationships with people is key.

She said one Newtown board member teared up during their discussion. “Nobody came to us” to see how we were doing, she quotes the board member as saying. “Don’t forget to support leadership,” Schoenfeldt added.

Another thing she learned in Newtown is to reach out and partner with the community, possibly

even getting employees on loan from businesses and organizations. As an example she mentioned Children’s Hospital in Seattle, which has been asking to help from the start. Now, they are starting a conversation about sharing their expertise on mental health with the Marysville district.

Also, M-PHS is dealing with more transfers than ever, and absentees were up among students and teachers after bomb threats.

Board member Bruce Larsen asked when was it that instead of just taking their own life, students wanted to take the lives of others.

Board president Tom Albright said, “It’s that fifteen minutes of fame.” Schoenfeldt agreed, saying it seemed to start with the Columbine tragedy in Colorado.

Arlington council signs numerous agreements

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council considered a couple of professional services agreements, then welcomed the latest applicant to the Parks, Arts and Recreation Committee, during its Feb. 9 workshop.

Marc Hayes, of the community and economic development department, presented the proposal to continue the city’s contract with the Shockey Planning Group, to assist the planning department in completing the city’s Comprehensive Plan update for Growth Management Act compliance by June 30.

When council member Jan Schuette asked about the use of the term “cottage housing” in the draft, Hayes

noted that the area above the Country Charm Park is currently zoned for highdensity housing, but added that the city is exploring the possibility of smaller residential units. Hayes then reassured council member Jesica Stickles that the $57,000 for the contract has already been factored into the projected budget.

“I’d like to see a list of measurable accomplishments that we’ve achieved with this group,” council member Debora Nelson said. Hayes responded by promising such a list would be forthcoming for 2014-15.

The city eliminated the medical services administrator position that had been occupied by Doug Schmidt, former division chief of the Arlington Fire Department.

Public safety director Bruce

Stedman presented a proposal to retain Schmidt for limited medical services administrator duties for six months.

Kristin Banfield welcomed Christopher St. John, an applicant for one of the PARC vacancies. St. John was interviewed Jan. 27, and his interview panel

Jacob Percivel Young January 14, 1987 — February 5, 2015

unanimously recommended he be appointed to a four-year term.

“At our last meeting, he actually stuck around and provided some valuable insights,” Banfield said.

Raezer told St. John: “We definitely need volunteers like you to help make this city run.”

New solar panels save electricity costs at Marysville YMCA MARYSVILLE – Installation is complete on a new solar energy system at the Marysville Family YMCA. As part of its focus on social responsibility, the Marysville YMCA is committed to exploring ways to maximize energy efficiency, reduce waste and minimize its carbon footprint.

Bob Graef, a former Marysville YMCA board member, approached the YMCA with the idea of installing solar panels. Now, the Marysville YMCA is working with Jayne Joyner, a branch board member and instruc-

tor at Everett Community College, on developing a curriculum focused on sustainability.

A grant funded through Snohomish County PUD’s Planet Power program made it all possible.

The project was selected through an application process that evaluated technical feasibility, site visibility, costcompetitiveness, the availability of matching funds and outreach/education plans.

A 9.9 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system on the southern roof of the

building is generating clean electricity.

This grid-connected PV system includes 36 made-in-America solar panels and an inverter to convert DC current to AC current.

Energy production is monitored and displayed in real-time in the branch.

The system is the first Planet Power installation in Marysville and is expected to produce around 10,000 kilowatt hours annually yielding a cost savings of approximately $900 per year.

All produced electricity will directly offset YMCA electrical costs.

Lower fire rates

MARYSVILLE – Property owners served by Marysville Fire District may be eligible for a reduction in fire insurance premiums next year.

The Washington Survey and Rating Bureau upgraded its fire protection class rating. Most insurance companies use this classification to set fire insurance rates.

Marysville upgraded from a Class 4 to Class 3, within the top 6.2 percent for the state. The rating for Fire District 12 has remained the same Class 4.

No department in the state has a Class 1 rating and just four have a Class 2 rating.

Factors evaluated include: training, staffing, water supplies, capabilities of the 9-1-1 emergency dispatch center and community fire prevention activities.

Art class set

MARYSVILLE – The Bridges to Learning Center in Marysville is offering the unit study “Art Masters,” a studio on masters of the impressionists and postimpressionists period, for homeschooling students.
