ARLINGTON — Snohomish County election results show Arlington Mayor Barbara Tolbert narrowly retaining her seat, while a permanent Emergency Medical

Services property tax levy for North County looks likely to pass.

In the Arlington mayor’s race, first-term incumbent Barbara Tolbert received 53 percent, or 1,084 votes, while challenger Craig Christianson received 47 percent, or 958 votes.

This close margin gives Christianson plenty of hope, but even if he doesn’t win, he’s been blown away by how much support he’s received, and he appreciates how much he’s learned about the political process and what’s going on in his hometown.

“It’s been an emotional roller-coaster,” Christianson said. “If I don’t win, I don’t know if I’d run again. It wears you out. Then again, I said I wouldn’t run again four years ago.”

ARLINGTON — The construction of Cascade Valley Hospital’s new helispot was met with some criticism Nov. 2, as two neighbors addressed the City Council with concerns.

Jesse Scott and Brian White both have homes on Medical Center Drive.

“This morning, I walked out my door to find the earth moving,” said Scott, who received a letter notifying him of construction

Nov. 2. “It doesn’t seem like they care about the folks who live around here.”

White read about construction over the weekend, but criticized the vague description of the helispot’s location. Like Scott, he argued the hospital’s neighbors should have been sent prior notice much sooner, preferably through a community meeting with a period for public comment.

Heather Logan, assistant administrator of the hospital, later clarified that

the helispot will occupy a 1,600-square-foot space east of S. Stillaguamish Avenue and north of E. Highland Drive. This space is currently a grassy field, with trees being cut down as part of the first phase of construction, which is expected to last up to six weeks.

“We’ve had some of those trees blow over and come down on cars in the parking lot during heavy windstorms, so this is a bonus,” Logan said.

Logan confirmed what

city administrator Paul Ellis told Scott and White at the council meeting, that the helispot is small enough to fall within existing hospital zoning, and is therefore exempt from permitting or public hearings.

Construction will include ground work, installing a concrete pad, painting and lighting. Patients now needing air transport are driven to Arlington Municipal Airport by medic units.

Logan had intended to get word out to the commu-

nity two weeks prior to the start of construction, which was originally scheduled for Nov. 16, but when the contractor reported it was ready to start work early, the hospital didn’t want to pass up the opportunity.

When Scott suggested building the helispot at a different location, one that he estimated would add only a few minutes to EMS crews’ trips, council member Chris Raezer made the SEE SPOT, PAGE 2

ELECT FROM Page 1 to numerous requests for comment.

In the Arlington City Council races, first-term Position 4 incumbent Randy Tendering received 48 percent, or 946 votes, while challenger Sue Weiss received 51 percent, or 1,004 votes.

Weiss will remain “cautiously optimistic” until the results are certified.

“I hope to work with the

The Arlington Times / The Marysville Globe

council and the mayor to keep taxes down and the budget in check,” said Weiss, who also favors keeping the city’s fire and emergency medical services fully funded and staffed.

Tendering is “not ready to throw in the towel yet,” citing more than 1,000 ballots that have yet to be counted.

Tendering’s greatest dismay was the low turnout of the election, in which roughly two-thirds of eligible voters didn’t cast a ballot. “It’s sad to think

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE ADOPTION

You are hereby notified that on November 2, 2015, the City Council of the City of Arlington, Washington, did adopt Ordinance No. 2015-027 entitled, “AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CITY OF ARLINGTON BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2016” This ordinance is effective five days from passage and publication, except as otherwise specified in the ordinance.

that many people don’t care who their mayor will be, or how their tax money will be spent,” Tendering said.

In the open Position 6 race, Mike Hopson received 65 percent, or 1,259 votes, while Jacob Kukuk received 27 percent, or 523 votes.

First-term incumbent Austin DeFreece III, who was appointed to the seat a few months ago, ran as a write-in candidate. Writeins received 8 percent, or 157 votes.

Hopson first ran for a seat on the council two years ago, but he’d begun attending council meetings four years ago.

SPOT FROM Page 1 same assertion that Jennifer Egger, community relations coordinator for the hospital, would reiterate later, that a few extra minutes can mean the difference between life and death.

“We’re dealing with the critically ill and injured, and everything from pregnancies to strokes,” Egger said.

“When we’re transporting patients to the Harborview

“I was a relative unknown who got beat pretty handily, but I got my name out there and found some support,” Hopson said. “I’m gratified that the issues I addressed touched a nerve.”

Among Hopson’s top priorities has been a Manufacturing Industrial Center for Arlington and Marysville.

“We need to get that up and running so we’ll have a tax base that can support city services such as fire and police, which are very expensive in a city this size,” Hopson said. “I won’t be a lone wolf on the council, but I won’t be afraid to speak my mind, either.”

Kukuk thanked his supporters for believing that a 26-year-old like him could get elected, and pledged to continue his efforts to “shrink the age gap in our political system.”

DeFreece’s plans for the future are more nebulous.

While he isn’t ruling out another council run, he emphasized that such a decision would depend on several factors.

“I’ll be staying aware of the issues,” DeFreece said.

“I’ve learned so much already. I hope the right opportunity will come along again.”

Fourth-term Position 5

incumbent Marilyn Oertle received 68 percent, or 1,295 votes, while challenger Natalie Reed received 32 percent, or 603 votes.

The North County Regional Fire Authority’s EMS property tax levy, asking voters to authorize a permanent regular levy of 50 cents or less per $1,000 of assessed property value, received 64 percent, or 1,672 “Yes” votes, and 36 percent, or 941 “No” votes.

“Our Emergency Medical Services don’t go unnoticed,” said Fire Chief John Cermak, who estimated that EMS makes up as much as 80 percent of North County’s calls.

stroke center, just that much more time could result in permanent brain damage.”

To make the construction period more convenient, work will be limited to daylight hours during weekdays. Another concern Scott voiced was about how motorists’ visibility would be impacted by bright helicopter lights during heavy rain or darkness.

Ellis and Logan both noted that the hospital’s current volume of helicop-

ter flights is no more than two a month, with Logan adding that not all of those flights take place at night.

“Besides, this has been a hospital zone for decades, with the noises and lights of ambulances and other emergency traffic,” Logan said. “Those helicopters certainly won’t be any brighter than the football stadium we’ve been using as a temporary landing pad for them.”

Indeed, Ellis and Logan

both reminded the community that the football stadium had only been intended as a temporary landing pad for helicopters.

“This is a replacement for the helispot that we already had and lost, when the hospital was renovated a few years ago,” Logan said.

“We empathize with our neighbors and don’t want to diminish their concerns, but our whole focus here is on ensuring better patient outcomes and safety.”

Locals share shooting knowledge said unexcused absences are down slightly. In academics, Monpas-Huber said the goal in reading is 100 percent at the end of first grade, and right now just 50 percent are at grade level.

He said reading skills improve every year until high school, and then it spreads out. By 12th grade, some students are reading at standard but others are as low as fifth-grade level.

As for graduation rates, Monpas-Huber said Marysville is in the 50th percentile in the state at 70.3 percent, compared with its goal of 85 percent. “It’s a little discouraging considering our focus on this.”

Also at the meeting, Principal Kelly Sheward and staff talked about Marshall Elementary. In their powerpoint school officials talked about the goal of getting 95 percent attendance at each grade level, decreasing late arrivals and early dismissals to keep kids in school learning. To help first-graders improve reading skills 20 percent, they are using intense intervention for 30 minutes four times a week.

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville School Board Nov. 2 decided to send three administrators to Roseburg, OR to advise Umpqua Community College about a campus shooting.

Superintendent Becky Berg, assistant superintendent Ray Houser and director of counseling Josh Webb went there Nov. 3 and talked to Umpqua officials about what to expect in the days, weeks and months ahead.

“Although we were just meeting their leadership team for the first time, their faces looked very familiar,” Berg said Nov. 5. “They looked like we did a year earlier: exhausted and still in a bit of disbelief.

“Our hope is that we were able to provide some practical advice, but perhaps more importantly some understanding and kinship during the worst of times.”

Five Marysville-Pilchuck High School students died in a shooting Oct. 24 of last year. Ten people died in a shooting near Roseburg at the college Oct. 1.

At the board meeting, Jack Monpas-Huber, director of assessment and student information, talked about North Star Indicators.

Regarding attendance, he

Engagement, Courage and Responsibility.

Students also are sharing senior presentations on what they have learned, and also talking to younger students about what they wish they would have done.

School Board Member Pete Lundberg said he’s proud of MG for continuing senior presentations. “Some are giving it up. I wish all were doing it,” he said.

Staff also talked about how many students have to get themselves out of bed and to school each morning because their parents work nights, some having two jobs. So the school has staff at MG as early as 5:30 a.m. to help kids. Berg said discussions are going on to possibly allow some credits to be valid from eighth grade once the graduation requirement increases to 24 credits needed for graduation. “Then there’d be some room for error in high school,” she said.

They also talked about trying to get more kids to think about higher education, and bringing graduates back to talk to students about the need to get serious about school to be successful.

“That has more impact peer to peer than with a teacher,” school board member Chris Nation said.

Berg Dec. 5 parade marshal

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – School district Superintendent Becky Berg will be the grand marshal at the Merrysville for the Holidays Dec. 5.

Parks director Jim Ballew made the announcement at the City Council work session Nov. 2.

He also said the Farmer’s Market will be back next summer, after more than $36,000 in sales this year.

He said 4,500 people went to the market, about 300 a week, with 45 total vendors participating, averaging about 17 a week.

Ballew added the Snohomish Health District is paying for 40 signs that will be put up in city parks about Marysville’s new “no vaping” policy.

Meanwhile, the council will consider an ordinance that prohibits occupying a residence that does not have water or sewer service.

Following the economic downturn there has been an increase in foreclosed and vacant properties.

City Attorney Jon Walker said the law would help

police who deal with people trespassing on vacant property. It forces homeowners to secure the premises. If they don’t, city public works can board up the house.

Walker said the situation mostly arises w h e n Berg ownership of a home is in limbo after lenders package mortgages.

Also, the council looked at funding recommendations from the Community Beautification Program Grant Review Committee.

“It’s a good partnership,” Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima said. “It’s an example of neighbors trying to help themselves.”

Most of the funds are going to HOA groups that will add funding and/or labor. Others are to groups of people with no HOA, but who want to fix up common areas for safety or other reasons. That panel recommended $5,000 grants to:

•Tuscany Homeowners Association, replacement of fence along community park perimeter •Kellogg Village Homeowners Association, replacement of fence around park at entrance to neighborhood •102nd Place NE, cleanup of stormwater ponds at entrance to neighborhood •Rolling Green Estates, replacement of trees in community park •Otter Creek, fencing of detention pond and vegetation cleanup/removal The committee recommended $500 for Sunnyside Estates to replant the neighborhood gateway at the subdivision entrance.

The council also came out of executive session and approved buying two properties on First Street for a future bypass. Mayor Jon Nehring said the bypass will help traffic flow in the future when Highway 529 off Interstate 5 gets its onramp and offramp. The council also discussed condemnation of properties to widen First Street, “if we can’t negotiate a sale,” Hirashima said.

IN OUR VIEW

Praise and raze Praise to all who put together and participated in the Walk of Strength at Marysville-Pilchuck High School on the anniversary of the shooting. It was a fitting way to honor the victims.

Praise to Arlington for being flexible enough to get the Gayteway Project to come to town. It will be a boom for both Arlington and Marysville, providing 2,000 jobs.

Praise to the Marysville high schools’ volleyball teams for raising money for a family whose mom just died of cancer.

Praise to Cascade Valley Hospital’s “Pink Night Out” to encourage women to take care of health issues.

Praise to all who voted in the election this week.

Raze to those who wanted this newspaper to do hatchet jobs on candidates by providing information late that they could have given us months ago. We can do accurate stories only if given time to check out the facts. We were not protecting anyone, just being fair.

Praise to the Arlington Arts Council for honoring George Boulton. By George it was about time.

Praise to Marysville Middle School for attempts to get students to want to come to school.

Praise to Grace Academy for honoring local first responders at a luncheon.

Praise to Angela and Chris Kuhn for putting Arlington on the map when it comes to skateboarding.

Raze to the kidnapper who raced through Marysville, putting lives at risk.

Praise to local police for backing off the chase because of the danger.

Praise to the Recovery Cafe for their Marysville Opera House event to raise funds for the homeless.

Praise to Arlington firefighters for coming forward and saying they are feeling overwhelmed. We don’t want our firefighters to feel that way. The city needs to return to having both a fire and police chief because the public safety director can’t be everywhere at once.

Praise to Arlington for its first Viking Fest. Not only is it a fun way to look at history, it’s also a good way to bring tourists to town in the fall.

Praise to the Rhodes River Ranch for putting on events like the Seattle Knights so we don’t have to go to the big city to get big-city entertainment.

Praise to Marysville for buying more land on Ebey Slough. We are going to have an amazing waterfront.

Raze to the two locals who were arrested recently on charges related to sex and children. Leave our precious kids alone.

Economic development booming In Arlington, we’re growing rapidly throughout many areas of the city, which is wonderful to see because it means that businesses, industries and new residents are attracted by a friendly, well-located, prodevelopment community.

We also have another distinction – being one of the few remaining areas where businesses can find parcels of undeveloped land with good utilities, roadways, local workers and communications networks already in place.

Economic development is essential to provide employment, housing and additional retail investment in a community. All of that is necessary for a community’s growth, expanded tax revenue base and the economic strength needed to produce a quality living environment for residents.

We experienced the devastation to the local economy when the Meridian (former Bayliner) plant closed in 2011 and 800 employees lost jobs. One great recent example of the benefits of having resources like our Arlington Manufacturing Center is that businesses

and industries find us when the y’re planning their own growth, giving access to family wage jobs for our Tolbert residents.

Bellevue developer Chris Gayte approached us recently about developing land for a $100 million manufacturing and industrial park that will ultimately provide for up to 2,000 family wage jobs. Four months of land clearing was to begin by late October, followed by the construction of 11 state-ofthe-art buildings. He was attracted not only by the well-situated property of the former NW Hardwoods site and Weyerhaeuser log processing center but also, as he told us, by the city’s professional attitude and our streamlined online permitting system we developed over the last several years.

That makes a big difference to developers.

Gayte said he had researched the whole Puget Sound region and

found 54 acres of readyto-develop property in an area with plentiful utilities, housing, shopping centers and a transportation grid that provides access to I-5, Highway 9 and 67th Ave. NE, as well as access to the adjacent Arlington Airport.

His development will not only create many construction jobs but also provide incentives for retail development in the area, including downtown Arlington, which will help broaden the city’s tax base.

Economic development is promoted in many ways, some more subtle than others. Over the past four years, for instance, I’ve networked with many groups and individuals to spread the word of Arlington’s prime location and advantages for business and industrial investments. Arlington is an economic development partner with Economic Alliance Snohomish County, I hold a seat on the Puget Sound Regional Council, and I stay in touch regularly with the Snohomish County Council, Everett Community College, state Department of Commerce and political leaders in

Olympia to tell Arlington’s story. We have a great community to talk about, including our focus on developing new businesses and industry to create new jobs.

Another reason I believe in a variety of economic development is that for 22 years I’ve contributed my own share of bringing economic benefits to our community as executive director of the annual Arlington Fly-In. Each event draws some 50,000 people to enjoy aviation exhibits and air shows, a crowd that also benefits the downtown Arlington street fair during the same days. Being a parttime mayor – although it doesn’t always seem like it’s part time – I can continue to manage the Fly-In and contribute my own slice of economic development and public entertainment to our community. Those are just a few of the reasons that I believe economic development of all kinds benefit our whole community in so many ways.

Barbara Tolbert is the mayor of Arlington.

5 tips on how you know you are ready to buy Buying a house is one of the most exciting events in your life — especially when it’s your first. But wanting to buy and being ready to buy can be two different things.

Here are five indications that you’re ready: 1. You’re relatively settled.

Are you in an area you like, and that you can see yourself staying in for at least three years? If you don’t think you can stay put for that long, it may be cost-prohibitive to buy now. Closing costs can be thousands of dollars, and unless your home appreciates quickly, you will not likely recoup those costs if you sell sooner.

2. You have a savings account. This is vital because you’re going to need it. First-time buyers are often surprised by how many costs pop up in the course of their home-purchase.

Here are the basics: a. Earnest money. Think of this as “skin in the game.”

The seller wants to make sure you have something at stake in this deal. If you walk away from the house because your financing

falls through, or you don’t like the inspection report, you won’t lose your earnest money (as long as you’ve included those contingencies in your contract). But if you simply decide at the last minute that you don’t want to buy the house, the seller could potentially keep the earnest m o n e y. b. Down payment.

This is the amount re qu i re d by your lender Woodward for your particular financing. If you qualify for a VA loan (meaning you’re an eligible military veteran), your loan doesn’t require a down payment. Down payment on an FHA loan can be as low as 3.5 percent, where a conventional loan is typically between 5 percent and 20 percent. Bear in mind, though, that any time you put less than 20 percent down on your mortgage, you will automatically be charged a monthly PMI (private mortgage insur-

ance), which can add between .5 percent to 1 percent of the entire loan amount on an annual basis. c. Inspection fee. You can decline to have an inspection on the house you’re trying to buy, but I would never counsel a client to do so. You need to know what you’re buying. Inspectors’ fees vary, but you can expect to pay from $300 on up depending on the size of the house, and this cost must be paid upfront.

3. You’re pre-approved.

Shopping for houses before you’ve met with a lender and gone through the steps to get a pre-approval letter is a little like shopping for a car before you’ve gotten your license. In today’s competitive market, you can’t make an offer on a house without that all-important letter. But there’s another good reason for getting that pre-approval: knowing your shopping limit prevents disappointment. It’s best to know that number before you look at even one house, because if you get your heart set on a more expensive house than what you can actually

afford, nothing you look at afterwards will compare.

4. You’re realistic. You understand there’s no such thing as a perfect house, and you’re prepared to compromise on less-important features. You’re also aware that the home-buying process takes time and patience; that you’ll be asked to gather and provide all sorts of documents; that negotiating is a give-and-take process; and that set-backs and detours can and do happen.

5. You’re as excited as your realtor. This may sound funny, but it’s never a good sign when I am more motivated to look at houses than my client is. If you’re anxious to get out there and tour homes, and you are willing to adjust your schedule in order to see a house that just came on the market, that’s a good indication that you’re ready to buy.

Details on disasters

By Steve Powell

Our final CERT classroom experience Nov. 3 was mostly a review for the fake disaster we will be a part of next week. Some of the material for the Certified Emergency Response Team was new and more in-depth.

Such as, when starting triage, if a disaster victim is not breathing, tilt the head back to open the airway. If respirations are over 30 or

under eight move them to red, which means they need urgent care. If they have a pulse and can follow simple commands move to yellow, which means care can be delayed. If they can’t follow commands move to red.

Instructor Chris Badger explained the organizational chart in a disaster. An incident commander will have section chiefs for operations, logistics, planning and administration. CERT volunteers are worker bees in operations. They will help with fire suppression, search and rescue, and medical.

When volunteers show up they are asked what they are

PROPANE $ 9 Gallon*

most proficient at or comfortable doing, and they are given those jobs.

If a building is lightly damaged, the fire team will put out small fires with extinguishers, shut off utilities as needed and document. Make sure to use the correct extinguisher and remember PASS, for Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep at the base of the fire.

The SAR team will locate victims, provide initial triage, treat airway and major bleeding, and document.

Draw a slash (/) when you go

into a building and put what time you went in. When you come out, complete the X and note the time and other important information - number of dead and live victims, personal hazards, etc. Remove the walking wounded and get them to help if you can. Tag the rest Immediate, Delayed or Dead. The medical team will triage in more depth, move victims to areas for treatment, do head-to-toe assessments and document.

If a building is damaged more than that, it is best

for CERT team and volunteers to wait for professionals because of the danger.

In a disaster help family and neighbors then go to the nearest fire station to help.

Bring your personal safety kit, and tools such as extinguishers, shovels, etc.

Other training was reemphasized, such as don’t just run into a disaster. Size up the situation first. What will you safely be able to do?

You can’t help anyone if you get hurt. Always work with a buddy, for your safety and theirs. Other reminders:

Town Hall about schools MARYSVILLE – A Town Hall meeting will take place Nov. 12 regarding a possible $212 million bond to pay for new schools in Marysville.

The Marysville School District is seeking public input on priorities on how to spend the money.

Taxpayers would pay 88 cents per $1,000 valuation.

The meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, in the board room at the Service Center, 4220 80th St. N.E. Priorities so far include replacing Liberty and Cascade elementary schools and Marysville Middle School.

All of the schools would receive upgrades. The major debate seems to be between a complete replacement of Marysville-Pilchuck High School or upgrading that one and replacing Totem Middle School. The district also is obtaining public input online through msvl. thoughtexchange.com.

More than 600 took part in the first step of the district’s ThoughtExchange survey, sharing over 2,750 “thoughts” about different scenarios presented. That helped set the priorities.

The second step in the online process through Nov. 9 gives community members a variety of choices to make. Participants can read a subset of thoughts contributed by others and assign stars to the thoughts they value. People can complete that survey even if they weren’t among the 600 in the initial process.

Blaze’s owner bites back

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The owner of Blaze the dog threatened to fight back if the city attempts to charge him with violating recently passed animal care laws.

On Nov. 2, Kari Ilonummi presented the Arlington City Council and various

November 7, 2015

city staff with copies of a handwritten note from Dr. Tim Cavanagh, director of All Creatures Veterinary Services in Arlington.

The letter, dated Oct. 27, explained that Cavanagh had cleared up Blaze’s infection, but is still treating him for Sarcoptic Mange, a disease that’s highly contagious between dogs, and caused by mites burrowing into the skin, causing the animal’s hair to fall out and creating a persistent itch.

As such, Cavanagh insisted that Blaze “temporarily needs his collar to prevent self-mutilation” until his skin condition clears.

When asked how long that might be, Cavanagh declined to offer specifics, but did note that he would be rechecking Blaze in about three weeks.

“Obviously, the end game is to get the collar off him,” Cavanagh said. “This case has gone on a long time, but chronic disease can

Blaze “temporarily needs his collar to prevent selfmutilation.”

Veterinarian Tim Cavanaugh take a long time to clear up.

Believe me, I’m as frustrated as anybody right now.”

In the event that Cavanagh is unable to resolve the matter, he said he’d probably refer Blaze to a dermatologist.

In the meantime, Ilonummi claimed to have received a visit from Officer Val Copeland two weeks prior, ordering him to remove Blaze’s collar.

“I took that cone off, we stood back about ten feet, and he went to town on himself like a steak,” Ilonummi said, adding that Copeland ultimately instructed him to place the cone back on Blaze. “She told me to break the law, so if I receive a ticket for this,

11

I’m taking it to trial.”

In a statement that was called out twice for going beyond the two minutes allotted for public comment, Ilonummi claimed the city would look “very foolish” for adopting tighter restrictions on the tethering of animals in September, a move that he derided as “appeasing the masses” without considering the consequences. “I’ve tried to alleviate this situation, but I’m prepared to fight.”

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership

B

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone.

They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work.

Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area.

Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region.

Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support.

The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District.

Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service.

For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide.

The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites.

Boeing also supports military personnel and families. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month.

Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support.

With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

The weather cleared when an aircirculation system was installed.

Is there a maze of walkways running below the factory?

TRUE. There are 2.33 miles or 3.7 kilometers of pedestrian tunnels running below the factory. The tunnels are also utilized for operating the utilities and comes in handy during winter when getting around in the cold and snow can be a challenge.

Boeing employs more than 165,000 people worldwide.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth

C

hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial airplane market by 2030, creating opportunities worth billions for the Puget Sound region.

The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, including apples, cherries, hops and wine.

Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing.

China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release.

Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion by 2034, making them the company’s largest potential customer.

While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus.

The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the

competition with its Sept. 23 announcement to open a similar facility in China.

The company’s 40-year business relationship with China, which helped develop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advantage to come out on top.

An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework

for broader investment in U.S. and Chinese economies, according to previous reports.

Supporters say, if signed, an agreement with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” according to The Daily Herald. The agreement would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonetheless, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement.

With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be reduced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal announced Sept. 23 also involves delivering 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China.

Despite the competition and obstacles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamentals as in others: relationships, patience and investment.

For Boeing, all three are covered.

Q&A on

Boeing and China

Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others - in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.

Q:

What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?

A:

Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.

Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs

T

he Seattle metro area has experienced an impressive 15.5 percent growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a September report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth during that same time period.

Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a long-established presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are re-

sponsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employers over the past five years has been directly linked to the addition of thousands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, ensuring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintaining a healthy regional economy.

You keep innovating.

We’ll keep caring for you.

Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing production and employment in the United States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we produce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes valued at nearly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the entire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.

Q:

The Chinese economy seems to be struggling. Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?

A:

Our forecast for airplane demand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period. We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong growth over the long term.

Q:

What are the factors that determine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?

A:

First and foremost, Boeing has to deliver the best and most fuelefficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business

plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth. This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.

Q:

Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and delivery center in China?

A:

China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chinese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and delivery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese customers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will enable our planned production-rate increases in Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to collaborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.

Q: Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound?

A:

No. This facility in China increases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers combined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 production rates on the 737 program in coming years.

The people of Snohomish County have been fishing, farming, teaching, protecting our nation and building amazing things for over a century.

For most of that time, The Everett Clinic has been here too, providing innovative healthcare to our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your support. We’re proud to be part of your extended family.

Boeing recruiters also have accelerated their efforts at Puget Sound schools with strong aerospace programs. In addition to career fairs, information sessions and factory tours, job offers are now presented more quickly to qualified individuals. Once hired, employees participate in a five-day enhanced orientation focused on quality and safety followed by hands-on training with Airplane Programs or Boeing Fabrication. The second wave of more than 30 new hires from high schools and skills centers start the program this month.

“The goal of the Pierce County Skills Center is to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Michelle Ledbetter, director, Pierce County Skills Center in Washington state. “Our aerospace manufacturing students are excited about the opportunity to start their careers in manufacturing at Boeing. These are viable, well-paying jobs with great opportunities for professional development and advancement.”

Shevchuk echoed that sentiment. “I’m looking forward to starting my Boeing career and taking on some new challenges. And, at some point, pursue a college degree on the company.”

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

B

oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million.

The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack

of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education.

“This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,” Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.”

The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future, officials said.

“It allows us to reach more kids, allows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dramatically to reach underserved audiences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s investment. “What we find in our immer-

sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up going into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.”

Meanwhile, June Boeing represented her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match.

“He cared so deeply about the educational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

“Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing is really a special way for us to recognize local students like you who are committed to school, demonstrating leadership, are active in your local communities and are setting a great example for your peers,” Conner said in the video. “That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that the youth-focused organization you are part of has been selected as one of our 2015 Legion of Youth recipients.”

Giving Back...

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community.

GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand

$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, oneday event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medical screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

Senior running back Tyler Courtney of Lakewood cuts through defenses with his powerful and sprint-like running ability.

Cougar back runs Lakewood into playoffs

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

LAKEWOOD — Senior Tyler Courtney of Lakewood played his best game rushing for 182 yards and accounting for three touchdowns in the Cougars victory against Shorecrest 24-19 Nov. 3.

It was a 2A district playin game, and now the Cougars will play undefeated Squalicum Nov. 7 in Bellingham at 7 p.m. As a result, Courtney is the

Marysville Globe-Arlington Times Athlete of the Week.

The 6-foot, 190-pound running back credits the offensive line.

“I give all the props to my line,” Courtney said. “I run my hardest for them.”

Courtney’s offensive line was able to create cutback lanes, which he was able to hit, running through arm tackles. His longest TD was 62 yards, and he also caught a TD pass for 16 yards from sophomore quarterback

Austin Lane.

He exceeded his previous best of 150 yards against Cedar Park Christian Oct. 9.

Courtney has honed his “fluidity” as a running back such as waiting for lanes to develop and ball security, coach Dan Teeter said.

It also helps that he is fast — he’s on the 4x100 relay for the track team.

“He’s got sprinter speed, and he doesn’t go down easily,” Teeter said.

Courtney likes to play

“He’s got sprinter’s speed, and he doesn’t go down easily.”

Coach Dan Teeter defense too. Playing outside linebacker, he recorded a sack in his recent game.

Above carrying the ball and “knocking the snot” out of opposing players, Courtney loves the team aspect of the game.

“All 11 of us are working

as one,” Courtney said.

When he was young, his dad wanted him to play, but he was too shy. But that changed in the sixth grade.

“Becoming a part of a team really brought me out to make new friends,” Courtney said. “It’s helped me be more outgoing. I’ll take challenges head on.”

A team captain, he is looked up to both on and off the field by teammates, Teeter said.

“He has been highly com-

mitted to the program,” Teeter said. “He puts his teammates first.”

Football has encouraged him to help his community as well, such as working and bringing an awareness to a local homeless shelter.

He wants to continue playing football at Eastern, University of Washington or Pacific Lutheran University.

“He can play football at some kind of level,” Teeter said. “But at what level has yet to be seen.”

Annie was accompanied by Mike Gilbert, her former K-9 officer, as Stedman reported that she “is enjoying retirement, and is adjusting to home life and being an indoor family dog.”

Annie was retired due to changes in state drug laws with the legalization of marijuana.

Molly Ingram, who had also served as Annie’s former K-9

officer, then presented her newest partner, a 2-year-old black Lab named Tara.

Stedman recounted how Ingram and Tara bonded after three weeks of Ingram training with four different dogs.

“They had a connection and make a wonderful team,” Stedman said. “Officer Ingram says Tara has a great temperament and is a hard worker.”

K U B O TA

ARLINGTON – Norm Ross of Arlington knows a lot about building hot rods.

He’s been doing it for more than 25 years.

But as part of a recent nationwide competition, he had to build one in 30 days.

Rat Rod magazine chose Ross at random to be one of the competitors in its

annual Build-Up competition. He had to take a picture of the piled up parts he was going to use to prove he didn’t get a head start on building it.

Ross, 59, got help from his son, Travis, 38, and friend Stephen Kolbeck, working up to five hours evenings and all day Saturdays and Sundays to get it built.

Ross said he got into the sport because hot rods are “fast, loud and cool.” He started building hot rods with Travis when he was 8.

“But like any kid he loved it for a while then got over it,” Ross said.

Travis picked it up again in high school when they started building race cars together. Ross’s grandson, Tyler York, 16, has taken it up, too. “It’s a three-generation thing,” Ross said.

It’s been good for them, he said. “It gets them away from (video) gaming and all that, and gets them out in the garage and building stuff,” Ross said. They know what they are doing.

“We can work all day and not say two words to each other,” he said.

Part of the fun of building hot rods is finding parts.

Ross said they go as far away as California to swap meets.

“Parts are a little rusty around here,” he said of the Northwest.

In the Rat Rod competition, the trio took the vehicle by trailer to Grafton, Ill., where it was part of a major car show. The next day they drove across a bridge over the Mississippi River with a police escort to St. Louis, Mo. “It was a super cool parade of hot rods,” Ross said. He said unlike some car enthusiasts, his team does not have a win-atall-cost mentality. Just the opposite is true.

“We’ll even part out our own car to help anybody,” he said. In this competition, they helped another driver who had a car that wasn’t running. “He drove it to St. Louis the next day and even won an award,” Ross said, adding that the truck driver-owner was thrilled about that. “It’s fun. We like doing what we do.”

Ross’s team also won an award called the Road Warrior for being the most road-worthy vehicle in the competition. “We don’t just go to car shows,” he said.

“We use our cars.”

Ross, who owns Norm’s F100 Parts and Service in Arlington, said the Rat Rod Build-Up was a once-in-alifetime experience, but he’s not done. “I want to build another hot rod,” he said.

Rain doesn’t deter kids at Halloween

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Among the superheroes, princesses, action figures, video game characters and horror movie villains to descend on Third Street in Marysville Oct. 31, there was only one Jake from State Farm. “They’ve been calling me Jake from State Farm at school for years,� said 13-year-old Jack Sulya, clad in a red polo shirt, name tag and, of course, khakis. “So I decided to make it my costume.�

Jack was one of about 300 kids who attended the annual hourlong event despite light rain, Hilton Pharmacy owner Mary Kirkland estimated. Her staff dressed as clowns, except for Kassidi Neal, who was Elsa from “Frozen.� “They would yell, ‘Elsa,’ as they walked in, and then want pictures.�

Bryan Fosmark and his family had never gone trickor-treating on Third Street before. “It’s much better

Quincy Bontrager has been taking his family trickor-treating on Third Street for five years, and the freshbaked goods at Oosterwyk’s Dutch Bakery remain their favorite treats. “It’s fun, and safe, and the kids enjoy it,� Bontrager said, as his 5-year-old son Jesse contemplated whether to lift his Spider-Man mask

to bite into his maple bar. “Plus, where else are you going to get handmade cookies?�
