ARLINGTON — “It’s the biggest news in Arlington in a long time,” Mayor Barbara Tolbert said of a $100 million development expected to bring as many as 2,000 family wage jobs to the area.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring agreed that the development of the vacant 54-acre site, just northeast of 67th Avenue and 197th Street in Arlington, will yield benefits for both cities.

“As we attract more development and more jobs to the north Marysville/south Arlington area, it will continue to expand the opportunities and highlight the region as a creator of job growth,” Nehring said.

— The race for mayor in Arlington is pitting embattled first-term incumbent Barbara Tolbert against returning challenger Craig Tolbert Christianson over questions of whether the city has been heading in the right direction.

Christianson, 58, a retired firefighter who touts his fifth-generChristianson ation Arlington roots, has asserted that morale is

Although Christianson acknowledged that “Arlington is doing a lot of things right,” including the marketing of the city, he’d like to see more emphasis on downtown.

Tolbert credited much of Arlington’s success in attracting new businesses to “one of the fastest permitting processes in the state.” She reported that, through September, SEE MAYOR, PAGE 2

Times wins 8 WNPA awards Times staff

The Arlington Times won eight awards at the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association 128th annual convention in Everett Oct. 9.

Its sister paper, The Marysville Globe, won five more.

Publisher Paul Brown noted that is the most awards the papers have won collectively.

Powell “The news awards are testimony that the paper has taken the next step in in-depth community reporting,” Brown said.

The team of Kirk Boxleitner, Brandon Adam and Steve Powell placed first in Investigative Reporting for the Times for its series on “Michelle Donohue,” an

Arlington woman who killed her husband and was able to hide it for almost a decade.

Boxleitner and Powell teamed Boxleitner up to place first for the Times in Comprehensive Coverage for their work on the tragic “Oso Landslide,” from the tragedy itself to the year anniversary.

“It takes great reporting to win those two categories, so I couldn’t be prouder” Powell said.

MAYOR FROM Page 1 the city has issued 25 new retail business permits in 2015, and experienced a net gain in business and jobs since she was sworn in.

Tolbert agreed with Christianson that Arlington could be marketed better, and cited a direct marketing campaign that’s been included in the 2016 budget.

Christianson was hardpressed to lay out any issues on which his decisions would have differed from

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

Tolbert’s if he’d been elected four years ago, aside from pledging greater transparency and proposing a city manager may be needed, instead of a mayor.

“She had to make some tough decisions to make things work,” said Christianson, who nonetheless criticized the low staffing levels of the police and fire departments, especially in conjunction with what he sees as “big raises for higher-ups.”

Tolbert countered that the reductions in personnel were made with an eye toward shifting responsi-

bilities between the remaining employees, so that citizens would experience no significant cuts in services.

Although she was reticent to raise property taxes, which were among the lowest in the county and had never been banked to capacity, she pointed out that it was put to the voters, who approved doing so.

Christianson further expressed concerns about a conflict of interest between Tolbert’s roles as mayor of the city and executive director of the Fly-In, especially in light of the Arlington Airport’s recent state audit

findings. But Tolbert dismissed those claims by asserting the airport’s lease processes have remained largely unchanged since the 1970s, well before she was mayor, and adding that the airport has findings just about every year.

On the subject of fire and emergency medical services, Tolbert explained that the demand for fire and EMS has grown 40 percent over the past seven years, and that 80 percent of that demand is for EMS. This presents a problem when state law sets a maximum of 50 cents per $1,000 of

assessed property valuation on EMS taxes.

Christianson proposes a single fire and EMS agency for Snohomish County to handle this demand, so that individual fire stations can share personnel, equipment and other resources.

Tolbert praised the ability of the Arlington, Oso and Darrington fire departments to handle the demands of the Oso slide last year, which she ranks as one of the city’s worst tragedies and greatest successes during her time in office.

She and Christianson are united in their support of the Arlington Community Resource Center.

“I care deeply about what happens here,” said Christianson, who pledged to keep working on the city’s issues even if he’s not elected. “We need to get everybody involved, because downtown Arlington is America.”

“I have passion, energy and an understanding of the city’s systems,” said Tolbert, who came into office when the city’s reserves were $77, and noted they’re now at 85 percent of their required level. “With that expertise, I can continue to lead us in the right direction.”

Challenge in M’ville MARYSVILLE – Even though Rob Toyer is the incumbent and a longtime resident, he is facing a formidable challenge for reelection to the City Council Nov. 3 from Clarence Shaw.

Shaw, 53, has experience as a city councilman and school board member. And even though he has only lived here for four years, the retired Army Reserve major is active in the local American Legion and on the Snohomish County Solid Waste Board. “The city needs a new perspective, a new voice, a look through a different lens,” he said.

Toyer counters that the City Council works well with Mayor Jon Nehring and the city’s department heads, so why make a change?

Mayor Jon Nehring and council members Stephen Muller and Kamille Norton are running unopposed for re-election. Marysville School District directors Mariana Maksimos, Pete Lundberg and Tom Albright are also unopposed.

Lakewood candidates similar

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School Board’s race for the Director District 4 seat offers voters a choice of two moms with strong ties to the community.

A m y Williams not only atte nd e d Lakewood schools, but also has four children Smith in the district, while Jahna Smith, who was appointed to the post six months ago, after David Kiefer resigned, has lived in the district 14 years, but helped to organize a successful campaign for the $66.8 million bond that’s paying for the new Lakewood High School.

Smith has seen two of her children graduate from Lakewood, and like Williams, she was encour-

aged to apply for the 4 seat by superintendent Michael Mack.

Williams and Smith agreed on the importance of promoting student achievement through reduced class sizes, improved teacher salaries and a moreequitable distribution of state funding.

W h i l e Williams Williams acknowledged that these measures were not without their costs, Smith argued that she’d had six months of experience to learn the nuances of how much power school board members have to suggest policies, as opposed to implementing them.

When The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times received an anonymous letter from those identifying themselves only

as taxpayers in the district, Mack agreed to address their concerns. Smith and Williams both cited the letter’s anonymity as what made it most difficult to deal with its issues.

“Because they didn’t come to any of us with evidence, there was nothing to back up what they were saying,” Smith said. “I have a lot of relationships within the community, and not one person came to me to discuss this. If they had approached us, we could get more details.”

Williams added: “Voicing those concerns anonymously strikes me as sort of cowardly, like they didn’t want a resolution. Dr. Mack is excellent. All the kids are impressed with him. My kids say, ‘He’s everywhere!’

Now, in the parent survey last spring, communication between parents and administration was rated quite low, but that just SEE LAKEWOOD, PAGE 17

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

IN OUR VIEW

Arlington mayor The city of Arlington has faced some tough decisions the past few years. Mayor Barbara Tolbert has had to make many of them.

When the budget was next to nothing, she met with city departments to figure out a solution. The final decision included getting rid of some longtime, high-paid employees. Those moves have come back to be troublesome for her this election season, as opponents have come out strong against Tolbert’s bid for re-election.

The problem is, when asked by The Arlington Times Editorial Board what he would have done differently, Tolbert’s challenger, Craig Christianson, said, “Changes needed to be made,” including cuts.

And that was not the only issue for which he lacked a different plan.

A lifelong Arlington resident, Christianson really cares about his community. He said he actually likes many of the things Tolbert has done as mayor. He said he does not want to be as negative toward her as some of his supporters are. He said even if he loses the election he wants to continue to work behind the scenes to help Arlington be the best that it can be.

We think that is the better role for him, and that Tolbert deserves to be re-elected mayor.

She has immersed herself in the what is supposed to be part-time job and become a leader with regional power. She excelled at leading the community during the Oso slide. While some say they saw it as self-serving, we saw it as doing just what a leader needs to do during a tragedy. She was supportive and empathetic, and later worked hard to get financial and other help to aid the communities in their recovery.

Sure, we have concerns, such as her close ties with the Arlington Fly-In. But just remember, it’s because of that experience she was elected mayor in the first place.

We also worry that people perceive that public safety and city morale is lacking, and all the problems with the airport are taking so long to fix. We encourage the mayor and City Council to work on those issues with improved communications. Maybe the mayor needs to tout her successes even more and be more open about answering her critics.

Tolbert has been very professional during this time of growing pains in Arlington. While her term has had some issues, the good far outweighs the bad. She deserves your vote.

Disaster tips on search, rescue operations In a disaster, your own safety is paramount. You can’t help others if you get hurt. That was a key message in our fourth CERT training class Oct. 13. Matt Campbell, a captain with the Marysville Fire Department, was the instructor.

The 25-member class learned that in a disaster involving buildings you have to size up the situation, search for victims and possibly extricate them. As in other aspects of our training we were told not to spend much time with each person so we can help the most people we can.

When deciding to attempt a rescue you have to figure out the risks involved and if you have the manpower to do it. If not, you’ll have to wait until more help is available. Get the walking wounded out first then rescue lightly trapped people.

When sizing up a situation, assess the damage, consider probabilities, establish priorities, develop a plan of action, take action and evaluate constantly to see if changes are needed.

When assessing the situation note the time and day.

If it’s a Sunday and you’re at a school at 11 a.m. there probably aren’t people there. But if you are at a church there may be. Note

CERT students use leverage to free a dummy under a bin. the building’s construction, the weather and any hazards, such as downed lines.

If damage to a building is minimal it is safe to enter.

Light damage means there are only broken windows, cracks in walls and minor damage to the interior. If a building has moderate damage, only enter to save a life. That building would have major damage to the interior, and visible signs of damage. Lastly, never enter a building with heavy damage. If it’s collapsed, off its foundation and obviously not stable don’t enter.

Rescuers should try to wear safety equipment.

Also, it’s best to work with a buddy. When looking in buildings search areas where victims might seek safety, such as bathtubs,

underneath desks, etc.

If you search a building mark it with an X and provide information such as the date, time you went in, time out, areas of building searched, and victims, living or dead, so that when responders arrive they know what is going on.

“That’s a huge weight off our shoulders,” Campbell said, adding the more information they get the more people they can help.

When searching a building, ask, “Come here if you can hear me.” That can help someone who is disoriented focus and get out. Those folks also can tell you if anyone else is inside and where they might be. Search from the bottom floor up or top down for multi-level buildings. For one-story build-

trends. By working and developing relationships with students, SROs are in a unique position to not only understand the dynamics that drive crime within schools and among youth, but to find unique solutions to solve youth crime.

The tragic events of Oct. 24, 2014, made this even more urgent as a means of putting extra emphasis on providing students and staff with a safe learning environment. They have made it clear that they feel safer having an SRO on campus.

More than doubling the existing number of SROs will help improve student safety and give officers a greater chance to develop positive relationships with community youth.

Outside of school and in the summer months, SROs continue to reach out to community youth as they patrol neighborhoods and community locations where

ings, search from the right wall to the left. Constantly listen for tapping, movement or voices.

Campbell, who has 19 years of experience, said when he worked the Oso slide searchers started from the top down because buildings were underground.

When attempting a rescue, a bar or shovel can be used to lift objects off a trapped person. If the objects weigh too much, try to find something to use as leverage to help you lift.

Campbell said a person can lift 24,000 pounds using four 4 by 4s. Go slowly and watch the load to make sure it doesn’t shift.

Once the victim is freed, the person can be carried to safety in a number of ways.

•If they are small enough, lift around their back and knees.

•Put their arms over your shoulders and carry them on your back.

•You can lay them on a blanket and drag them.

•With another person, one of you grabs under the legs and the other under the victim’s arms. A chair could be used in a similar manner.

This is the fourth of a series of columns on CERT training by Steve Powell, managing editor of The Marysville Globe-The Arlington Times.

Grant allows more school officers

For many years, Marysville has applied for a Community Oriented Policing Services grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. And for many years, we’ve been passed over for funding. This year, thanks to support from U.S. Sens. Maria Cantwell and Patty Murray and Rep. Rick Larsen, Marysville received $375,000 in COPS funding.

This will enable us to hire three new, full-time School Resource Officers to bolster our program.

We’ve had a vision for many years of expanding the SRO unit and developing a dedicated Youth Services Unit. Creating and maintaining a safe learning environment in our schools and safe community gathering places for our kids is vitally important. More than 21,000 students attend 19 schools throughout the Marysville School District.

Only two School Resource

schools throughout the day, they frequently must leave to address issues that crop up at other schools in the district.

Adding three new officers means SROs will be able to interact with more students and be a visible presence in more schools.

SROs are much more than just uniformed officers in schools; they often act as counselors, mentors or coaches who directly affect the students with whom they work. These officers also work with parents and school staff to help them better understand school safety issues and local crime

they’re likely to gather. With the addition of three new SROs, our police department can explore the development of a Youth Services Unit that would be a visible presence after school hours, at places like the Spray Park, Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, sporting events and more.

Dedicating five officers to work with kids means more opportunity for relationship-building between our community and our law enforcement officers. We’ve seen in the past that this relationship helps encourage kids to report crimes or concerns, and enables our officers to have a better understanding of crime trends among youth. We look forward to building this program and working with our community to make it a success.

Jon Nehring is the mayor of Marysville. His column runs each month.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vote for Tolbert

I read Don Vanney’s letter Oct 3. Interestingly, he doesn’t mention the name of the candidate he supports, or any way that his candidate has improved or plans to improve Arlington, but only complains about our fantastic Mayor Barb Tolbert.

At first glance, his complaints might seem worrying, but on closer read are inaccurate or misconstrue completely acceptable actions, some even innovative ways to benefit those who live and work here.

I met Barb in 2004 when we worked together on a project to benefit Arlington. She is tireless and hardworking, with integrity and honor, trying to find ways to better Arlington, especially on a tight budget. There’s no need to ask her about the specifics of Vanney’s letter; I know that Barb’s actions were above board and helpful to our town.

Vanney says Tolbert keeps information from the City Council, yet six of seven members support her re-election. When she took office in 2012, Arlington’s finances were in terrible condition. With administrative and financial background, she knew belt-tightening was required and asked department heads for help. They let seven employees go, keeping the most-productive, who worked extra hard. The pay raises came when finances improved, all but one from promotions when others retired or left to work elsewhere.

Barb helps our airport. Yay! Our airport is a major economic benefit to Arlington; whatever Barb does to help it benefits Arlington.

City employees fly her to meetings on city time. Yay! Barb has been in Olympia successfully fighting for funding to widen 172nd Street (which none of her predecessors accomplished) and to resolve flooding in Jensen Park. Flying to Olympia, rather than spending her day in traffic, is a huge benefit to us.

There’s much more to praise about Mayor Barb’s accomplishments and plans to improve our town. Vote for Mayor Barb Tolbert.

Eileen McCluskey-Shouman, Arlington

Check the facts

After reading Mayor Tolbert’s “Setting the Record Straight” letter in the Oct. 10 Arlington Times, I urge citizens to not believe everything you are told. All the information I wrote about was obtained through public records requests.

Several months ago, concerned with the financial condition of our city, I was curious if there were ways our city could budget better.

The mayor has been stressing the city’s financial crisis ever since she took office in 2012. She had the entire city running scared that if a vote for the tax increase did

not pass, we would have further reductions in emergency and public safety services.

Then in March of 2014, when the Oso landslide hit, she took the opportunity to run with that huge tragedy to our community to raise the importance of her agenda, and with that, in April, Arlington residents permanently raised taxes to $1.9555 per $1,000 assessed value.

Per the public records request I obtained from the city, I noticed that there were a number of huge salary increases in June of 2014.

The most prominent being the city administrator, who appears to have a salary increase to $1,954 month and over $200,000 a year.

Also, our public safety director received a payroll increase to $2,824 a month, making his salary over $200,000 a year.

And many individuals is the police and fire departments are raking in over $100,000 a year.

I don’t see anywhere where these payroll increases were authorized by the City Council. So, who authorized these increases?

I attended a council meeting, and it had no idea about the increases.

Doesn’t it seem ironic there has been such a large turnover at the city in the last four years? I urge you to speak to any one of the number of people who have left the city to go elsewhere or for “early retirement”. I encourage you to do your research and not just rely on hearsay.

Don Vanney, Arlington Editor’s note: The public safety director makes about $163,000 and the city administrator almost $155,000 a year. The chiefs make over $118,000 a year. Five police sergeants and six fire captains make over $90,000 a year.

She’s successful

I have resided in Arlington for 65 years and have seen the town go through many changes and many mayors. Arlington’s population was between 3,500 and 4,000 for many years, and the mayors were mainly figureheads with little responsibility.

As our town experienced growth everything changed. With the growth of the city, we must have a mayor with experience and the background to cope with these problems.

Mayor Tolbert has had many successful years of managing the Fly-In for Arlington. She has also volunteered for various committees and is currently an active member of the Arlington Lion’s Club.

We all know of her unselfish commitment to the Oso disaster.

Here is a candidate for mayor who has managed a business, has worked diligently for the betterment of the city and has unlimited experience and integrity, solving the many problems that have surfaced during her tenure in office.

She has shown her willingness to work with the council, the people of Arlington and the surrounding area.

Mayor Tolbert has the skills, knowledge and integrity to be an outstanding mayor. Let’s all support her and put her back in office.

Ruth Munizza of Arlington

Pick the write-in

We have a unique opportunity Nov. 3 in Arlington. We have a write-in candidate for City Council.

After the passing of longtime council member Dick Butner, there were interviews held, and the seat was filled until we could elect a four-year member to that position.

The person chosen to temporarily fill the position was Austin DeFreece. And now he has decided to be a write-in candidate for the permanent position.

He has been a great addition to our council. As Arlington voters make their choices, to write in DeFreece’s name for that seat would be a very positive step for Arlington. He brings a great deal of knowledge to the council both business and legal. Vote for Austin DeFreece Nov. 3.

Maxine Jenft, Arlington

Charter choice

With the upcoming elections most of the focus of voters is on city and county races. Also the state ballot issues are in the forefront of many voters.

But one ballot issue that will affect county citizens for the next decade is electing responsible citizens to the Charter Review Commission.

I support a lifelong member of Snohomish County, Jim Donner, for one of the positions.

Jim, who grew up in Snohomish, has been involved in many community activities over the years and has been a resident of Warm Beach for 35 years.

Jim is civic-minded and has worked on political campaigns for Republicans and Democrats – preferring to support the best candidate rather than just a member of one party or the other.

He has been involved in county governmental affairs and was recognized by the County Council several years ago by having a bridge named in his honor.

Jim is a veteran who is proud to have served his country. He also served on the last nonpartisan appointed Council Re-Districting Committee.

Jim has been a small-business owner and is now retired so he will have time to spend on work on this very important committee to benefit all citizens of the county.

Don Wlazlak, Marysville

Seek documents

The citizens of Arlington have

a unique opportunity to examine both sides of a controversy that is tearing our town apart. State auditors have completed an audit of city financial transactions amid accusations of mismanagement and fraud.

The audit is for city of Arlington operations, including the airport, and a separate investigation is referenced addressing the diversion of federal funds.

You can find the federal information at a report reference number 1013812 “The City of Arlington Lacks Internal Controls Over Airport Financial Activities”.

The audits include many more findings, as well as the city response to each. Included in the report are findings regarding city of Arlington’s use of the Arlington Airport. They are as follow: •The city does not have a contract for each space leased at the airport.

•The city does not have an agreement with the nonprofits that would define benefits for both parties, although it has a relationship that provides services and lease space that mutually benefit both.

•The city is not billing for leased spaces in a timely manner, which results in a lost revenue for the time that funds are owed and not received by the airport. When in conflict, written contract terms are not ensured compliance by the City Municipal Code.

•The review process for shared costs of police, fire and emergency medical services is an inadequate process that, when modified and put in place, would ensure equal shared costs between the three aforementioned services and the Airport Fund.

•The city’s General Fund has benefitted from the use of the airport facilities by providing office space, without compensation, for an unrelated general government service. This is in violation of state law.

Ask for document copies and pertinent links at Arlington City Hall. As citizens it is our duty to be informed.

Janice Bauer, Arlington

Decline of EMS

After working for over 39 years in public safety in Arlington (EMS & Fire), and being a part of building a program that was second to none, I have watched the decline of a first-class Emergency Medical Services program and can no longer be silent.

The elected officials in Arlington (mayor and two council members) are asking you to support them, and they will tell you of great things they have accomplished.

Read what they haven’t told you.

They asked you to vote for an EMS levy five years ago and promised to maintain and improve the level of services.

Voters responded with overwhelming support of over 80 percent approval.

The elected officials kept in place “hold-the-line budgets” or reduced them by up to 10 percent.

This continued following the recession. Emergency call responses have continued to increase, still no priority given to the fire or EMS budgets.

In April of 2014, they proposed an increase in (public safety) taxes.

The public was told if you pass this the fire, police and EMS services will be stable for 10-20 years.

The mayor and council told the staff that if the tax passed, Arlington Fire Department could finally look forward to hiring more needed staff and purchasing new equipment.

Unfortunately this didn’t happen. Five months later, the fire department was told of major financial mistakes and shortfalls especially in the EMS program.

The financial problems include a breakdown of a 16-year relationship with Fire District 21.

Noteworthy: about 85 percent of the fire department’s responses are EMS related.

In September of 2014 the department was told that the Medical Services Administrator (MSA) position was being eliminated. The MSA was a paramedic chief officer who provided oversight to the paramedics and EMT program for the previous 12 years. The MSA worked with Snohomish County EMS and the county Medical Program director.

There is still no oversight for EMS service.

Over the last two years, several very skilled FF/paramedics and FF/EMT’s have left Arlington Fire for other fire department jobs, mostly in this county.

The majority who were hired to replace staff have little-to-no experience. The mayor asked firefighters for their endorsement; they declined. They provided several reasons why they would not endorse her.

Your mayor and council have allowed a continued degrading of your emergency services.

They have placed money in the bank, given raises to administrative staff, all at the peril of public safety. They did purchase a new ladder truck ($1 million), but have no staff to man it.

The incumbents should be replaced, and those still in office held accountable.

For full discloser, I am the MSA mentioned. I also worked on the medic units, along with Harold Smith, a 40-year veteran of the department.

We were honored July 4 as the parade grand marshals. Please consider your public safety when you vote.

Marysville goes for grant to reimburse for M-P shooting costs

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – A proposal could lead to city entities and the Tulalip Tribes receiving a $2.1 million grant to help pay for costs associated with the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School almost a year ago.

Tara Mizell, parks and recreation manager who has been working on the proposal, said the money could be finalized in the next few weeks.

Those who could receive money include: •Victim Support Services – $638,574 for three therapists, a case manager and more.

•Tulalip Tribes – $568,413 for a trauma center and therapists.

•Marysville School District – $535,075 for counseling, support and trauma specialists, and trauma care.

•Mar ysville Recover y Committee - $105,555 for information, trainings and website.

•Volunteers of America $102,632 for crisis chat services.

•Marysville area Crisis Support – $95,871 for first responders, their families and others.

•Marysville Fire Department – $41,900 for overtime and support services.

•Marysville Police Department – $23,376 for overtime and support services.

The money would come from the Anti-terrorism and emergency assistance program.

Mizell mentioned the movie “Paper Tigers” will be shown locally in November as the city will be looking at mental health and the very fabric of the community.

In other news at the work session Oct. 12: •The council accepted a $342,369 Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account grant to build a 1.7 mile trail with two lookouts along the Qwuloolt Estuary.

•The council accepted an $11,410 grant from the Department of Justice to purchase

a laser, three radios and a portable breath tester.

•Nicolai Piffath was sworn in as a custody officer at the Marysville Jail. He went to Liberty Elementary, Marysville Middle School and Marysville-Pilchuck High School. Since 2008 he has worked for the Department of Corrections in Monroe.

•Mayor Jon Nehring declared October Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

•Police Chief Rick Smith taught leadership training to some city employees. Public Utility District director Kevin Nielsen said it was hands-on, real world, and they didn’t have to go outside the city for someone with a doctorate

degree.

•Nielsen also said on Oct. 19 the speed limit on Ingraham near Marysville Getchell High School will increase to 35 miles per hour.

•Council Member Donna Wright was reappointed to the county Board of Health.

•A resident asked the city to amend a law so a neighbor could no longer operate a gym business out of a home at 5 in the morning.

The gym is not supposed to operate before 8 a.m., but there is no enforcement part of the law.

The mayor directed staff to look into it.

•Tom King and Amanda Garlock were named to the salary commission.

else, and five of his eight grandchildren live in town too.

Sue Weiss, Tendering’s 56-year-old challenger, has 25 years experience as a financial accounts manager and is serving on the advisory committee of the Arlington Community Resource Center. She was inspired to run because she wants to raise her daughter in a safe environment.

“This community is encouraging,” Weiss said.

“I want the city to be all it can be. I’m willing to speak up and ask tough questions, and I’m retired, so I have time to do research.”

Although Tendering still works, he cited his job as a school bus driver for special need students as something that allows him to make connections in the community, just as Weiss does through the host of local

community organizations to which she belongs.

An Arlington resident since 1974, Oertle described herself as very supportive of growth, although she wants to make sure the city’s utility rates and EMS keep pace with that growth.

as essential to fostering the growth of industry in the city. While Arlington has no shortage of families, he sees himself as representative of many younger parents and hopes to lend his perspective to the council.

“As both the mom and the dad to my little girl, I understand what it’s like to struggle,” Kukuk said.

Hopson brings 40 years of experience in education, and spoke of his vision of Arlington as a small but thriving city. He believes in holding the line on taxes, supports a manufacturing and industrial center in south Arlington and north Marysville, and suggested federal grants to help revitalize downtown. Hopson also advocates for more mixed land use and affordable housing to turn the city into “an economic powerhouse.”

DeFreece is a three-year resident of Arlington who loves taking an active role in government, and touted both his experience in shaping budgets and his work with the Federal Aviation Administration as a corporate attorney.

“I hope to add a different vision on the council,” DeFreece said. “I want to harness the business and recreational potential of resource like Centennial Trail, that add value to our quality of life.”

Kukuk agreed that Arlington’s trails can be an excellent source of revenue, for all ages.

Indeed, most of the candidates shared similar views. Oertle and Kukuk both touted the value of promoting the arts and trail development, while Kukuk and Hopson were simpatico on fiscal responsibility.

Arlington council candidates agree on many issues

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — The candidates for Arlington City Council positions 3, 4 and 5 made their cases to voters at the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce’s candidates forum Oct. 13.

Position 4 First-term incumbent Randy Tendering, 63, was shocked when he stepped into office and learned the city only had $77 in the bank, and he expressed pride that Arlington ended last year with $925,000.

He also thanked voters for approving a Transportation Benefit District that has used a sales tax increase to improve the city’s roads.

Although he originally hails from Illinois, Tendering has lived longer in Arlington than anywhere

Position 5 Marilyn Oertle, 68, is not only the incumbent, but has also served 16 years on the council. Her opponent, Natalie Reed, did not attend the forum.

Oertle echoed Tendering’s praise for the TBD and is excited about the prospect of bringing new manufacturing businesses to the city.

She believes her experience qualifies her for this task, since she’s “well-connected to the community” and works well with her fellow council members.

“I believe in having a collaborative vision,” Oertle said. “We have to work together to get through our problems.”

When asked what sets her apart from her opponent, Oertle said, “I’m present,

Position 6 Jacob Kukuk, 26, and Mike Hopson, 67, are challenging appointed incumbent Austin DeFreece III, 43, who stepped in to fill Dick Butner’s seat after his death, but failed to file his paperwork in time to appear on the ballot. As such, while Kukuk and Hopson are listed on the ballot, DeFreece is running as a write-in.

Kukuk introduced himself as a single father and 10-year volunteer at the Arlington Fly-In, who sees Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) school curricula

Public safety leaders from across Snohomish County have voted to launch New World Systems, a new countywide dispatch and records management system. The system will go live Oct. 27 for all of the 50-plus first-responder agencies.

It has been more than 20 years since the county’s last overhaul of the computeraided dispatch/records management system.

Approval to go live was finalized Ot. 15 at a meeting of representatives from all law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, corrections and 911 centers.

NWS will allow first responders to share information across county jurisdictional boundaries.

For example, an officer in Lynnwood would know a suspect had recently been arrested for a violent crime in Marysville. The previous technology developed

MARYSVILLE – She may not be J.K. Rowling or Stephen King but author Christy Anana has her own fan base at Quil CedaTulalip elementary school.

That’s where she announced a second book being published and gave a Powerpoint presentation about the struggles of becoming an author.

She spoke to Carol Beyer’s fourth-grade class. Beyer has been reading Anana’s first book, “A Finder of Lost Things,” to her class this year because she found it to be just a little too hard for her students. They are about halfway through the 88-page, 27-chapter book.

Beyer said she uses Anana’s book to teach her class about story elements: characters, events, problems, solutions, etc.

“It makes a big difference that they know the author,” Beyer said of the school’s counselor. “It gets them excited about writing.”

It also gets them excited about reading. Student Bryce Mizell liked it so much he checked it out at the library and has read it all. Bryce said he likes the adventure of the book.

AWARDS FROM Page 1 Marysville Strawberry Festival. Brown, Powell, Boxleitner and Adam were cited for their work.

“It’s our largest initiative of the year,” Brown said. “It’s a top-quality community product.”

Adam, the papers’ sports reporter, stood out in the making of online videos.

Competing against all of the other circulation categories, he took all three awards. His first-place video was “Arlington downs Marysville Getchell,” a football game last year. Second place was the “Arlington Fly-In.” And third place was for “Marysville opens Spray Park.”

“Adam came out of college with a special skill, and it looks like it paid off for us,” Powell said. “Not too many papers our size are as good at that as we are, obviously.”

Brown also was

(Spoiler alert:) It ends up only they can see the boy because he is a ghost. But when they find the boy’s family they find he is still in their hearts.

Anana said the theme of the book is we have to learn to move on, even after such devastating losses as divorce and death. About being an author, she explained to the children that reading her books “is like having a conversation with you.” She said the characters often are similar to people she knows.

She said one of the main characters, Toni, is a tomboy like Anana is.

She said early in schools she learned she loved writing and talking about feelings so her stories come from her heart. She said her dad worked two jobs and her mom worked in a factory. “I looked up to them,” she said. “I learned if you work hard you get respect.”

Anana said she had to work hard to sell her book.

Many publishers told her no. When she found a publisher, they said they wanted at least two more in the series. The book is available online on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble. She will be signing the books Nov. 5 at the University of Washington bookstore in Mill Creek.

impressed.

“We’ve never even done videos before,” he said.

Along with those four first-place honors, the papers also won three second-place awards.

The Globe placed second in Special Sections for the Health and Wellness tab.

And Boxleitner placed second for the Times in Best Business Feature for a story he did on “Local video interpreters help the deaf communicate.” The story is about Smokey Point’s Sorenson Interpretation Center, which facilitates phone calls with visual signing.

The papers also took six third-place awards.

For Best Breaking News Story for all circulation categories, the Globe placed third for its initial coverage of the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck with Powell, Boxleitner and Adam mentioned. The paper delayed its press time six hours to get the story in.

For Best Online Photo Essay for all of the circulation groups, Powell placed third with “Audience walks around Marysville farm to watch unique play.” A Seattle group made up the play, being inspired by a local barn.

Powell took a third place in Best Education story for the Globe for “Students MAP out their futures,” about the Minority Achievement Program at the Marysville YMCA. For Best Sports Feature, Adam took third place for the Times with “Arlington Eagles deaf wrestler inspiring to others.” Aspen Carbajal not only can’t hear, but she was also one of few girls on the team.

For Best Sports Personality, also for the Times, Powell was third with “Former Bulgarian star now Tulalip athletic director.”

Tori Torrolova-Santiago defected to the area while playing basketball for the Bulgarian national team.

Arlington Airport. In the years since, they not only fully leased up that space, but also bought the 67th Avenue property, which they sold to Gayte in September.

“I was encouraged by how fast they’d leased up the Bayliner site, but really, what sold me was its size,” said Gayte, whose GS Venture Partners will develop the former NW Hardwoods and Weyerhaeuser Log Mill site into Gayteway Business Park. “They just don’t make sites like this anymore. If you’re a business that’s looking to expand in this area, it can be hard to find buildings with enough size to suit your needs.”

Gayte’s master plan will utilize roughly 1 million square feet of the site to create 11 concrete tilt-up buildings, ranging from 41,000 to 200,000 square feet each.

The business park will be fully funded, as multiple potential tenants are ready to sign letters of intent for one of the custom-built manufacturing and industrial facilities.

Gayte likewise considers it “an incredible added value” that Burlington Northern has agreed to install two spurs on the railroad line that runs through the property.

“Future tenants could use

the tracks for their business,” Gayte said. “Within three to five years, we expect to have this entire business park built out. In the meantime, we expect to start cleaning up the property, tearing down old buildings and chipping away at the existing asphalt and cement to recycle it, by the middle of next week.”

Of the City Council members who joined Gayte, Tolbert and city administrator Paul Ellis at the site Oct. 15, Debora Nelson deemed projects such as the Gayteway Business Park one of the reasons why she goes to the Puget Sound Regional Council.

“We’re thinking of the long-term future of the city,” said Nelson, who credited anticipatory zoning with facilitating the process.

“We hope to attract retail, improve quality of life and relieve congestion on I-5, by letting people work closer to their neighborhoods.”

Fellow council member Randy Tendering echoed Tolbert’s assessment that the business park would provide “a better gateway to downtown Arlington.”

He also believes it would boost the planned Arlington Valley Road, which would link 74th Avenue to 191st Place, providing a more direct route to Highway 9 for businesses along 67th Avenue.

“If two thousand people

• • • •

are going to be working here, they’re going to need to shop and eat lunch somewhere,” Tendering said.

Council member Jan Schuette credited Ellis, community and economic development director Chris Young and city staff with streamlining the permitting process for this project.

“This project is a major beginning to boosting the local economy, adding jobs and growing our tax base, as well as branding Arlington as a major destination for industrial growth that’s rarely available in Snohomish County,” Tolbert said.

Nehring believes this project will improve the jointly proposed Arlington and Marysville manufacturing and industrial center’s odds of being designated by the PSRC. Tolbert and Schuette pointed out that the business park could even move up the scheduling of the widening of Highway 53.

“Because we are a growing job sector, Arlington earns a priority with federal transportation agencies for providing highway funds,” Tolbert said. “Each success builds on another.”

At the same time, Tolbert assured residents that development near the Gayteway Business Park will be controlled in ways that will enhance and protect the “Old Town Arlington” atmosphere.

The board chairman at Grace, Tom Greene talked about how he appreciates first-responders as he was one for 36 years, retiring from the sheriff ’s office in 2008.

“You do God’s work,” he told them.

Pastor John Zimmer said the book of Romans in the bible talks about “obeying those in authority,” and that the school hosted the event to show honor and gratitude for their work.

Administrator Tim Lugg said the school has talked for years about having such an event.

“We just want to give them thanks for all they do,” Lugg said.

mentary schools as priorities at a ballpark price of $25 million each. It would also like to replace Marysville Middle School for about $50 million. It would like to see major upgrades at all schools at a cost of about $20 million. If the district replaces MarysvillePilchuck High School, the cost would be $90 million.

But another option would be to put $40 million into M-P and replace Totem Middle School for $50 million.

The total pricetag would be $210 million. The estimated cost per thousand valuation for property owners would be 88 cents. The tax on a $300,000 home would be about $264 a year.

All that is preliminary.

The district will be using its online Thought Exchange program to gather informa-

tion from the public.

Board member Chris Nation expressed concern about the growing cost of building schools.

“It’s totally different construction now than five years ago,” board president Tom Albright said.

As for enrollment, the district is going to study attendance so it can moreaccurately predict the budget in the future.

The district had planned on 10,760 students, but now is figuring on 10,600. As a result, it is looking at making almost $1.04 million in cuts.

District officials pointed out that the cuts are not really reductions because it is all new money from the legislature. Finance director Jim Baker said the district still is getting $10 million more than last year.

Miles stars in lopsided loss to 2-time champs

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

TULALIP — Robert Miles Jr. can do it all.

Playing wide receiver as a senior for Heritage High School’s eight-man football team, he came up with six catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns. That is especially impressive since it was against two-time state champion Neah Bay in a 70-12 loss Oct. 10. For his effort overcoming adversity, he is the Marysville GlobeArlington Times Athlete of the Week.

Miles Jr. said he was pleased with his team’s improvement in the four years the Hawks have played Neah Bay. “My goal is to always compete with them and try my best,” he said. “In the past few years we haven’t really scored on them.”

His motivation to stay competitive was to “not give up as the leader on the team and work to keep my guys positive,” he said.

The loss hasn’t lowered his expectations for the season.

“I still think we’re a good team,” he said. “I think they’re going to do that to everyone so it doesn’t really bring my hopes down.”

Though he specializes in wide receiver, Miles Jr., can play many offensive skilled positions. It’s the nature of the game in eight-man football. He leads the team with 14 touchdowns having played wide receiver, running back and quarterback.

“You can’t just lock in on

a position, it just doesn’t work” in eight-man football, coach Jim Kavaney said. For example, “All guards can snap the ball and play center.”

Miles Jr.’s versatility is what makes him so good, his coach said.

“He can play anywhere on offense,” Kavaney said.

“Even quarterback if that

was his forte.”

Fryberg had to play quarterback in the Hawks’ first few games of the season.

In prior seasons, Miles Jr, has won All-League for best all-purpose player, wide receiver, running back and linebacker.

This year, Kavaney projects Miles Jr. to be AllLeague wide receiver.

Miles Jr. has always been involved with Tulalip football. He has played since he was little, also playing basketball for his school.

Bubba Fryberg, who cocoaches with Kavaney, said that he has no doubt his son could’ve played at a bigger high school.

“He prepares himself and never misses practices,”

The Marysville Getchell boys placed 20th overall with 48 points. Their top finishers were: Cameron Wagstaff 53rd in 17:15.3; Zachary Arcaro-Frazier 119th in 17:55.7; Thomas Lindgren 122nd in 17:57.5; Channing Frolich 123rd in 17:58.4; and Gregory Panther 131st in 18:04.6.

Fryberg said. “He plays anywhere we ask him to play and plays very hard.”

But Miles Jr. chose Heritage because of his dad, and the practice field is within walking distance of their home.

Sports is Miles Jr.’s focus; he is grounded in it, Fryberg said.

“He could be out running around and doing his thing,” Fryberg said. “Sports is his life right now.”

Miles Jr. plans to play football at a small college, Fryberg said.

“I’ve been trying to get his name out there,” Kavaney said. “He can play football out there no doubt.”

His skills in eight-man football will have plenty of

carryover to 11-man football, Fryberg said.

Eight-man football is faster-paced, where players have a big field to work with, and players must be able to play a number of positions, especially if a player is injured, Fryberg said.

“He’s got good speed and hands,” Kavaney added.

Defensively, he has the skills to play safety at a high level too, though he’d have to gain weight.

“He can carry another fifteen pounds easy and be pretty fast,” Kavaney said.

Other nominees were: Arlington quarterback Andrew Kalahar, Marysville-Pilchuck’s Erik Lind and Garrett Anderson.

LAKEWOOD — Lakewood running back Tyler Courtney scored

three touchdowns while rushing for 144 yards as the Cougars defeated Cedar Park Christian 39-14 Oct. 9, but coach Dan Teeter credited the offensive line.

“We challenged our o-line to dominate up front and work their 4-2 stack defense,” he said.

“We worked all week on the various parts of the run-

ning game.”

It turned out that the offensive line was over-prepared, Teeter said.

“We’ve been throwing the ball a bunch all year and we were expecting sloppier conditions,” he said.

“Some of the ways were just challenging them to up their game [during practice] and we simplified.

“We only had a handful of running plays and they were all physical — involving double teams and coverage.”

But Lakewood also had big plays on special team and defense as well, such as a blocked punt by Sean Dawson, a 100-yard kick return by David Le and a pivotal interception by Matt Ramirez in the third quarter.

And not to be outdone, sophomore quarterback Austin Lane was 7-13 in passing for 81 yards.

Decisions were also made

by Lane as to give or keep the ball on running plays,

Teeter said.

“Last week was when we got our big breakout plays, and this game we got them on defense and on special teams as well.” Teeter said.

“It’s exciting to be gelling at this time.”

Two other local football teams also won big, while two others lost by large margins.

Arlington quarterback Andrew Kalahar connected on 25 of 31 passes for 368 yards and four touchdowns in a 50-19 romp over Stanwood.

He also ran for a score.

Kyle Bayer caught six of his passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns.

Donavan Sellgren caught eight for 84 yards and two other scores.

Kalahar accomplished all that in the first half before injuring his throwing arm.

Meanwhile, MarysvillePilchuck beat up Everett 51-33.

Ray Pimental ran for 184 yards and a score on 17 carries.

Garrett Anderson added two touchdowns running and quarterback Erik Lind passed for two more.

Marysville Getchell was held to just 104 yards in offense in being routed by Oak Harbor 46-9.

Local man accused of sexually abusing girl online The 13-year-old girl reportedly agreed to call herself ‘Kitten’ and call Foster ‘Hero’ or ‘Daddy.’

Minnesota officials say.

She reportedly agreed to call herself “Kitten” and call Foster “Hero,” or “Daddy,” according to Minnesota officials.

Investigators said in court papers they believe “this may be a copycat from the character in the novel and movie “50 Shades of Grey,” where the dominant male character uses a contract

and rules to control a submissive female.”

The girl’s parents report-

edly contacted Foster after they learned of the alleged contact. They went to authorities in March.

Foster reportedly knew of the investigation but in September was still directing the girl to engage in sexual activity, court papers say.

An Arlington man was being held without bail Oct. 9 awaiting extradition to Minnesota, where he is accused of sexually abusing a girl he met online.

Cheyenne Cody Vedda Foster, 19, is charged with two felony sex crimes.

Minnesota prosecutors say he met a 13-year-old Stillwater girl online late last year and convinced her to enter into a “contract” that included her engaging in sexual activity and sending him nude photos.

The girl also said that at Foster’s urging she choked and otherwise harmed herself physically, court papers

Fireworks vote

Proposition 1 asks if the Marysville council should “prohibit the possession, sale and discharge” of fireworks within city limits.

The council started discussing a ban in 2014.

Despite numerous meetings, a committee that included council members, residents and police representatives could not come to a consensus. An unscientific online survey showed 51 percent of city residents favor fireworks.

LAKEWOOD FROM Page 3

and she sees the potential to run more levies.

“For that to happen, we really need to communicate what bonds and levies will do for the district,” Smith said. “With the new high school, I get concerned when I hear people ask when each step will happen. Until they see people digging in the ground, it doesn’t become real to them.”

Williams concurred that the district could do more to keep parents up to date on the progress of the high school.

“How many people don’t know we’re in the permitting process?” she asked.

“They should know when the groundbreaking will be, and how much money is being spent, especially since we passed the bond as a remodel, and it became a rebuild. A levy will be a hard sell. The bond was.”

MARYSVILLE – On Nov. 3, voters get a chance to say whether they want fireworks banned.

An advisory measure asks if a law should be passed to ban the sale and use of fireworks year-round. The results are non-binding.

In Marysville, sales of fireworks are allowed from June 28 through July 4. But fireworks can only be set off between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m.

School board members Jim Weiss and Karl Olson get down on the floor to play games with Hudson and Addie Kinney during a City Council meeting Oct. 12. Terri Bookey, in background, talked about early learning in Arlington schools at the meeting.

Council, kindergarteners play

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — With the implementation of fulltime kindergarten this year, the Arlington School Board was treated to a firsthand look at how students learn how to teach themselves.

Kent Prairie Elementary Principal Karl Olson quoted Albert Einstein’s assertion that “Play is the highest form of research,” which he demonstrated by having two kindergarten students, accompanied by their older grade-school brothers, engage in learning activities with school board members Jim Weiss and Bob McClure, on the carpeted floor of the boardroom Oct. 12.

“Can you color inside the lines?” Weiss asked kindergarten student Addie Kinney, while McClure played a matching game with her classmate, Delaney Cooper.

When she said yes, Weiss replied, “I can’t do that.”

While Weiss grudgingly agreed to share the blue pieces of a set of pattern blocks, Olson said that students are guided through sessions of play, with such toys and games, in ways that teach them how to take turns, how to win graciously and how to lose without feeling bad.

“It lets teachers see who’s ready to cooperate and learn more, in addition to developing the students’ fine motor skills,” Olson said. “Teachers are able to get important data this way.”

In addition to getting kindergarten students accustomed to more structured

activities, they learn how to prepare for their play sessions, as well as what to do when they’re done.

“This is where the ‘I noticed’ stage comes into play,” Olson said. “The first time they finished playing and left everything out, their teacher asked them what they noticed. The students saw that no one had put anything away, so they learned that they needed to clean up after themselves.”

By coaxing the students to make observations on their own, they’ve developed their own routines, such as making sure not to dump all the Lego pieces onto the floor at once.

“It gives them ownership over those habits and makes it more likely that they’ll carry those behaviors forward into the future,” he said.

Terri Bookey, director of early learning and categorical programs for the district,

cited research connecting “Learning to Play” to stronger academic performance.

She reported that every kindergarten classroom has the materials needed to accommodate this learning style, which she said the teachers have embraced. “It allows all the students to go at their own pace,” Bookey said.

“Sometimes, you have to go slow in order to go fast later on.”

means there’s room for improvement.”

Williams also defended Common Core as consistent in its standards and proved through its use in other states.

“It’s not about what we teach the kids, but what they know how to do by the end of the year,” Williams said. “Each department in each school should be able to choose its own curriculum. The teachers should have control over this.”

As for Smith, she looks forward to helping the district develop its long-term strategic goals, based on information gleaned from testing and academic performance. Although she’s still in a “learning role” on the board, she wouldn’t mind taking up the duties of legislative representative,

Skateboarders come from all over nation despite rain

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Joe Mazzone came all the way from Chicago to skateboard in Arlington, so he wasn’t about to let a little rain discourage him, even when it turned into a lot of rain.

The Centennial Sk8 Festival Oct. 10-11 saw participants come from as near as Oregon, Idaho and California, and as far as Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Maine, New York and New Jersey.

And while they each weathered the elements in their own way, they were all more than willing to get wet for the third annual local skateboard and longboard racing event, sanctioned by the International Distance Skateboard Association.

“It shows that longboarding is not just a punk kid sport. It’s such a great sport for all ages, male and female.”

Angela Kuhn, Event producer

Mazzone came in first in the 5K race on Centennial Trail that Saturday with a time of 11 minutes, 37 seconds, while Colby Cummings of Portland followed close on his heels at 11:38.

While Cummings stayed warm in skintight leggings, Mazzone went bare-chested in the downpour, reasoning that the weight of a wet shirt would slow him down.

It was Mazzone’s first time

in Washington, while the Puget Sound area is familiar ground for Cummings, but both agreed that the climate was no more harsh than what they’ve braved back in their home states.

“It’s not too cold,” Mazzone said, even as the rain turned his chest hair into a damp carpet.

“Chicago is still worse.”

The 24-year-old Mazzone began boarding seven years ago, after he borrowed his

older brother’s longboard.

When big brother encouraged him to start racing a couple of years ago, he was hooked.

Cummings, 22, has also been boarding competitively for two years, but he started when he was 7. He credited his second-place finish to sticking to his goal time and staying with the pack.

Event producer Angela Kuhn noted that Sunday saw the skies clear, just in time for a half-marathon along Centennial Trail, but acknowledged that Saturday forced festival vendors to try everything they could to keep their tents from launching in the wind.

“Water jugs, cinder blocks and creative tie-downs were no match for the gusts,” Kuhn said. “One ten-foottall tent flew up and landed on top of Atskuki’s Food Truck.”

Kuhn described the 5K as “a hydroplane of a race, with puddles, wet leaves and droves of fuzzy caterpillars.”

During the “Cape Race” that followed, boarders were required to wear capes, and Cummings won a tandem skydive donated by Skydive Snohomish.

Menck walked away with zip-line tours from Canopy Tours NW. The Slide Jam, hosted by Omen Longboards, took place on the closed Third Street, and was “way better than I even imagined it would be,” Omen rider Nathan Blackburn said.

Riders slid down the hill individually and in formations, with some wiping out safely into bales of hay at the bottom.

The one-mile race took place Saturday night, through the closed streets

of downtown. It began on Olympic Avenue and went uphill and downhill through slick streets.

“I was impressed with the turnout for the over-forty age category,” Kuhn said of the Sunday half-marathon.

“It shows that longboarding is not just a punk kid sport. It’s such a great sport for all ages, male and female.”

Angela and Chris Kuhn said they plan to keep Arlington on the map as a Pacific Northwest longboarding destination.

MARYSVILLE – A felon wanted for kidnapping was arrested Oct. 13 after racing through Marysville in a stolen sports car with police giving chase.

The 34-year-old Coupeville man is wanted by the state Department of Corrections regarding a prior kidnapping conviction. The man told police he fled because he didn’t want to go back to prison. He was booked into the Snohomish County Jail for possession of a stolen vehicle and eluding a police officer.

The incident started at about 4:30 p.m. when a

Marysville officer patrolling on Cedar Avenue did a check on a car and found out it was stolen in Pierce County. The officer initiated a traffic stop, and when the car pulled over two passengers jumped out and fled on foot near the Marysville Boys and Girls Club.

The driver sped off.

Because of the danger the officer stopped the pursuit, police spokesman Cmrd.

Robb Lamoureux said.

Shortly after that, the car drove by another Marysville officer, who was able to deploy spike strips in the Jennings Park area. The

spikes flattened the tires in the sports car, and officers again pursued. The felon drove into a residential area near the Marysville YMCA, left the stolen car and fled on foot. Officers were able to find and arrest him.

Nancy Anderson, who works at the Marysville Globe, was leaving work and saw the car speeding south on Beach Avenue. She pulled in front of the sports car. “I guess I watch too many cop shows,” she said of her effort to try to slow the culprit. “But they just went around me. My heart was in my mouth.”

Free dinner in Marysville to raise funds for homeless through donations “Everybody knows what’s wrong with them.

They are told all the time. ” Bill Kluin, Recovery Cafe board member Kluin said the cafe is not faith-based, but they do

have a moment of reflection, rather than praying.

refer homeless to resources, such as Alcoholics Anonymous. And it’s not just for homeless. People have come who have suf-

fered a close death or even who have an eating disorder.

“We are all recovering from something,” he said.

MARYSVILLE – The Recovery Cafe is having a fall fundraiser dinner and entertainment at the Marysville Opera House Saturday, Oct. 24.

The event is for 200 people.

RSVP by going to reservations@everettrecoverycafe.org.

Wild Rose Bistro and Catering will provide the food.

The dinner is by donation.

Bill Kluin, a board member for the cafe, said the nonprofit opened March 30 to feed the homeless.

Even though the cafe itself is in north Everett, it serves many Marysville homeless and has a number of supporters here.

About 25-30 homeless eat there daily.

To be served they have to be 24 hours clean and sober. They also must participate in a recovery circle once a week and have a one-on-one session with a staff member once a month. Most clients come back a couple times each week.

Kluin said the different approach works.

“Everybody knows what’s wrong with them,” he said.

“They are told all the time.

But they have unique gifts.

We help them find what it is. We lift people up so they can breathe and flourish.”

Kluin said the homeless help operate the cafe by doing dishes, cleaning, etc.

Tasks are mapped out.

“We’ve created a community,” he said.

Come Tour Our Community.
