MARYSVILLE — It was simple hair-cut, provided for free by students of the Everett Community College School of Cosmetology, but for families like the Christiansens, it made a huge difference.

As 11-year-old Xander and his 9-year-old sister, Samantha, received their trims in the Marysville Family YMCA Jan. 24, their mother, Christina, reflected on the impact that her husband’s departure has had on the family.

MARYSVILLE – While the city and faith commu-nity work on getting a facil-ity for homeless women-children here, those who live at a similar-style home in nearby Lowell say more such housing is desperately needed.

Susan, who doesn’t want to be identified for safety concerns, goes so far as to say it saved her life. “I don’t know how I could have sur-vived all that” without the Everett Women’s Shelter, she said. “We need more places like this. It’s harsh out there without work.”

Susan worked for years at Boeing, living with three kids in a 3,000-square-foot house. Then, in her late 50s, she lost everything within six months. She quit her job after developing a bor-derline personality disor-

der, along with depression. When she had to move she lost about half of her pos-sessions when they were stolen by a moving busi-ness she found on Craigslist. She lived in her car for a few months and then used unemployment to live out of a motel.

“If this hadn’t been here…,” she said of the shelter. “Being homeless is unnerving. Where do I put my stuff? Where do I lay down to rest? Where do I lock up my medicine?”

Susan is now back at Boeing, working the swing shift, plus some overtime, on the 767 so she can move into her own place in a few months.

Counselors there helped her with mental health. “When you find out you have something - now you have something to work with,” she said.

Susan has found that she

appreciates so much more in life now. “A set of keys is like gold to me,” she said. “I know I’ve made it when I have the jingle jangle of keys” signifying a house and a car. “We take those things for granted.”

She remembers her first night at the shelter, sleep-ing on the couch with a fan blowing in her face. “It was paradise,” she said.

She’s looking to buy a

’97 Toyota from a friend. “It’s like a BMW to me. It’s the cutest little thing in the world,” she said.

She’s even excited about bright red sheets. “Everything looks better, seems better,” she said.

One important reason Susan is working hard to get her life back in order is her youngest daughter. She lost her father in 2007, and then became homeless with

Susan in 2011. “I was the strong, cen-

tral parental unit,” Susan said, adding her daughter ended up dropping out of high school. But, like Susan, she is now recovering men-tally and physically, thanks to Boeing’s great benefits. Susan is making sure she can attend college.

LEGAL NOTICES“I was already working

full-time, but without his income, I can’t afford our groceries, bills or costs of living,” said Christiansen, who estimated that she’s “in the hole” about $600 a month now. “We’ve started going to the food bank, and relying on charity programs for the kids’ school clothes. Everything changed over-night.”

With no one else avail-able to watch her two chil-dren, and day care cost-ing enough that it would consume whatever extra income she could earn, Christiansen admitted that she feels like crying some-times.

But like fellow Marysville mom Dea Kim, who also attended the Y’s first “Connecting Community” event for those in need, what matters most is mak-ing sure her kids don’t feel the sting of their circum-stances.

“I’m a stay-at-home mom to our own two kids, but also our two nephews that we took in,” Kim said. “My husband is holding down two jobs as it is. We’ve already asked for help from folks for food, but you do what you’ve got to do.”

Stylist-in-training Kylee Johanson of Arlington was happy to spend her Sunday evening giving trims to those in need. She’s been doing other people’s hair since high school, and has taken part in charitable community events for those who can’t afford to beautify themselves.

“I like making people feel good,” Johanson said, before applying the clippers to Xander. “You meet all kinds of people doing this, and it’s nice knowing you’ve made them more content with how they look. It’s a way of giving back.”

YMCA member ser-vice personnel Amanda Knight and Melissa Willet helped coordinate the event, the first of its kind for the Marysville Y, and are already planning for follow-up events on the Sundays of Feb. 28 and March 20. Dinner again is scheduled from 4:30-6 p.m. and showers and haircuts running from 5:30-7 p.m.

“This was a long time coming,” said Knight, who explained that the “Connecting Community” event began with a plan to offer free showers at the Y for the homeless. It expand-ed into haircuts, dinners and dispensations of winter clothes and hygiene sup-

plies. “With the number of homeless families in the area, especially these past couple of years, this was a no-brainer.”

Although the Y’s staff and members made arrange-ments to serve as many as 300 people, Knight noted that the Jan. 24 event was a pilot for the rest of the program.

“Even if just one person had stopped by, we would have done something to make his day, by giv-ing him a full belly and a shower that he couldn’t afford,” said Knight, who credited the House Church of Snohomish with donat-ing “blessing bags” stocked with toiletries and non-perishable snack foods.

Willet hopes to enlist the Salvation Army and the Goodwill Job Training and Education Center next time, and reported that she’d contacted a host of community service agen-cies about partnering with the Y in its efforts.

“We really are trying to get everyone in the com-munity connected through this,” Willet said. “There are a lot of great services in this area, available to those in need, that they just don’t know about.”

BY STEVE [email protected]

MARYSVILLE – About 14 people spoke at the public hearing on fire-works Jan. 25, with many supporting finding an open area where people could set them off.

Virginia Seubert said she supported a ban.

“Marysville is ridiculous. The Fourth is so loud - miserable,” she said, but added a designated open area that people could use to set fireworks off would be a “win-win for everybody.”

Jack Easterbrook said the city should have two or three designated areas were fireworks could be discharged.

“They shouldn’t be eliminated entirely,” he said. “Fireworks in a clear area I have no problem.”

Personally he’s not that crazy about them. He said one year his front lawn looked like a war zone but a neighbor came over and cleaned it up.

“I tell my neighbors the only time I don’t like them is on the Fourth of July,” he said.

Rebecca Lohman said there are other options to a ban, such as letting people shoot them off in an open-field area, such as off 152nd, or having a public display.

She was more upset that the council has taken so long making a decision. “It’s had a life of its own,” she said.

Lohman said the fireworks advisory vote ban passed in November, and where she comes from, “Whoever gets the most votes wins.”

She said she knows its a tough decision, weighing individual rights against the needs of police and fire.

Kathleen Hamel said a simple way to celebrate the Fourth with family and tradition would be an organized public fireworks display.

“We had magnificent fireworks” growing up in D.C. with kids shooting off smaller fireworks, too, she said.

Karen Gower suggested cutting

back the time to discharge fireworks.We could “honor traditions and

families allowing fireworks for two hours, from 9-11 p.m.,” she said.

Gower added that bans next to trib-al lands do not work, specifically men-tioning Everett.

She said if legal fireworks are banned, more people will just buy them from the tribes. She also sug-gested limiting sales of fireworks even more.

Nonprofits also would be hurt by a ban, two speakers said.

Danny Richards of Mountain View said selling fireworks has been a great fundraiser.

“Most people celebrate responsibly. A full ban is too much. It’s not a real solution,” Richards said.

He said police just need to enforce the law that’s in place.

“It’s an honored tradition, one day a year,” he said of fireworks.

Brandon Hart, youth pastor at Mountain View, said a fireworks ban would hurt nonprofits who “try to do the right thing the right way” by sell-ing the regulated and safe ones.

“It’s great to think all the problems will go away” with a ban, but they won’t because we’re right next to Boom City, he added.

Garrett Mackey said he is a fan of fireworks.

“I’m proud to be an American. It’s a tradition, a way we celebrate our freedom.”

But two others spoke strongly against any fireworks.

“Every year the celebrations get lon-ger and louder,” Robert Weiss said.

Like Lohman, Robert Pearce said he was fed up with the inaction of the council.

He said as a veteran he is as patriotic as anyone, but he is tired of all of the illegal fireworks.

“Failure to act is akin to aiding and abetting,” he said.

Public views varyBY STEVE [email protected]

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville City Council voted Monday night to ban fireworks within the city limits.

The vote was 4-3. Council mem-bers Stephen Muller, Jeff Seibert, Michael Stevens and Donna Wright voted for the ban. Jeff Vaughan, Rob Toyer and Kamille Norton voted against it.

Because of a state law, the new law will not go into effect for a year. That means it will still be legal to shoot off fireworks this Fourth of July and on New Year’s Eve.

Vaughan had concerns that pos-session of fireworks in the city would be a crime, even if they weren’t being shot off.

“This still needs work. We have time to do this right,” he said.

Norton said she was open to exploring other options.

“It’s the illegal activities people object to,” she said.

Norton said she would support a partial ban, so people could still enjoy July 4 with smaller fireworks, such as sparklers and fountains. They don’t create a lot of noise or a lot of trash, she said, adding she also would like to look into the idea of having an area where people could set off fireworks.

Wright said it was a tough deci-sion for her because the money raised by nonprofits selling fire-works does good work.

She also likes that it brings fami-lies and neighbors together.

On the other hand, she lost a pet to fireworks, veterans suffer trauma from them and it cost tax-payers money for Public Works Department to clean up afterward.

“The mess that’s left,” she said.Muller said he also lost a pet to

fireworks.

“It’s gotten out of control,” he said. “We need to start to reign it in.”

Council Member Michael Stevens said he was disappointed in the process of having an advi-sory vote, something the council had never done, Vaughan has said.

Stevens said he has “amazing memories of watching organized displays in the Washington, D.C., area.

Even though personal fireworks were outlawed, he recalled playing with sparklers and feeling “naughty but fun.”

In Marysville, he recalls setting up lawn chairs and watching “the hillside blow up.”

But because of public safety con-cerns, he decided to vote for the ban, “and I say this with a heavy heart.”

Police Chief Rick Smith fire-works complaints calls actually are down the past few years, from 251 to 198 last summer. He admitted officers have a difficult time citing fireworks violators.

With a ban, “It would be easier for us to enforce the law.”

Muller added, “They don’t have the manpower to enforce it.”

Vaughan said the City Council has tried many different things to try to reduce fireworks woes in his 14 years on the board.

The time has been cut back from three days to 14 hours, for example.

“I love fireworks. I love shooting them off. But I’m scared to death to be away from my house on the Fourth of July,” he said.

Vaughan said he is glad the council has taken its time on the issue and tried to consider every-thing because it will “impact the city for years to come.”

“I’m disappointed on the (sud-den) fast move to act,” he said.

Vote yes on levyOn Feb. 9 voters in the

Arlington School District will be asked to vote “Yes” on the renewal of expiring Education Programs and Operations Levy, ensur-ing every hour, every day, every child achieves his or her potential.

As the parent of a special needs child “achieving your potential” holds significant meaning. It is critical that our students have every opportunity to succeed. To succeed means having a properly funded Special Education Program, safe and appropriate student-to-staff ratio, transporta-tion availability, up-to-date computers and technology, as well as athletics and music and arts, which so many of our students par-ticipate in helping them to flourish and become active citizens within our com-munity.

How our children are educated should matter to each and every one in our community. A sound and well-founded school system leads to a healthy community generated by students that will represent our future workforce and give our economy the best chance to succeed.

Take a moment to inform yourselves about the renewal levy for our schools.

•The levy is a renewal of an expiring Levy.

•Levy funds make up 28 percent of the district’s general fund.

•The levy pays for edu-cational programs and operations.

•Most important – until such a time when the state of Washington ful-fills its responsibility and adequately funds educa-tion for all K-12 students, the reliance on local levies passed by Arlington voters is imperative in maintain-ing current educational programs and operations.

Please cast your “Yes” vote, and mail your ballots by Feb. 9.

-Deborah Marr, Arlington

Schools are greatThis year my husband

and I enrolled our two sons in the Arlington School District for the first time. At both middle school and elementary levels, both of my boys were able to take advantage of district programs in their schools such as art, advanced math,

engineering and science-based math curriculum (STEM), as well as the use of technology in the class-room.

These programs are funded by our existing tax that is set to expire at the end of 2016. These oppor-tunities both facilitate our children’s learning today and advance them toward future endeavors as they become young adults and our next community mem-bers and leaders.

Along with many other vital school programs, this levy also supports the school nurse and health rooms in the district. I recently had the opportu-nity to work as a substitute nurse in the district. I was amazed to find a multitude of complex health care issues that are addressed by the school nurse on a daily basis. I cannot imag-ine this specific resource not having the funds it needs to operate to its full potential. The health and safety of our children is a fundamental need and is a priority when it comes to educating the children in the school system.

The upcoming levy is not a new tax to our com-munity. It merely replaces the existing tax that we, as taxpayers, already pay. By voting “Yes” on the upcom-ing Arlington School District levy, we are invest-ing in our children’s educa-tion, health and safety, as well as our future commu-nity. Please vote “Yes” on Feb. 9, 2016.

-Krissa Cramer, Arlington

Board backs levyOn Feb. 9, we have

asked you to vote on the Educational Programs and Operations Levy for the Arlington School District. As your elected representa-

tives, we do not take this action lightly. We under-stand the fiscal responsibil-ity that is placed squarely on the shoulders of each board member. While we realize any kind of tax is a burden, we also must acknowledge that the state does not fully pay for all of the programs that it man-dates, nor that our commu-nity has determined that we need.

In order to fund all of our day-to-day operational expenses, we are forced to ask our local voters to fund 24 percent of our educational programs. We want to stress that this is a replacement levy – not a new or additional tax. The $3.56 per thousand will replace the rate that you are currently paying. We want to also assure you that, if the state legislature finds a way to reduce the need for local levies, we will roll back the amount collected accordingly.

What does this money do? It pays for 35 percent of our school transporta-tion costs, 30 percent of our staffing needs and 100 percent of all extracurricu-lar activities. In addition it also funds technology, spe-cial education and teaching materials.

Our district was recently cited by the state auditor as one of the most-efficient school districts in the state. We’re proud of that recog-nition. We’ve worked hard to provide a comprehensive school program for our kids. We urge you to vote on Feb. 9.

-Arlington School Board

All vested in schoolsRenewal of the Arlington

School District’s levy for Educational Programs and Operations is of high pri-ority for all of us because “Good Schools Make Good

Communities.” This gives us all a vested interest in seeing that the proposition passes.

We agreed to chair the Citizen’s Committee work-ing on passage of the issue because we have additional vested interests. John and Kimberly have four chil-dren being educated by our schools, and Dave has two grandchildren in school with one more soon to join. He also has several nieces and nephews still attending Arlington Public Schools.

About 24 percent of the district’s revenue comes from our local levy. It includes funding for basic education, which the state Supreme Court has said should be paid fully by the state, but is not. So far the legislature has not figured out a way to accomplish this, so reliance on the spe-cial levy is necessary. Our school directors are com-mitted to rolling back that portion of the levy used for basic education if the legis-lature acts.

Think how it would be if suddenly your family lost 24 percent of its income. Something would have to be cut.

Not only would funds for basic education have to be cut but funding for safety, emergency pre-paredness, transportation, technology, staffing and extracurricular activities would be in jeopardy.

The Arlington School District has been recog-nized by the state auditor and at the federal level for its sound fiscal manage-ment. The Puget Sound Business Journal has recog-nized our neighborhood as the fourth best in the Puget Sound based on the quality of its schools.

We urge you to join us in voting “yes” for

the district’s Educational Programs and Operations Levy. It is not a new tax but a renewal. Ballots are due back on or before Feb. 9.

-Kimberly and John Meno, and Dave Duskin,

co-chairs, Citizens Committee for Arlington

Schools

State funds lackingArlington Public Schools

needs your “yes” vote on Feb. 9 to continue provid-ing high-quality education programs not funded by the state.

Both of my daugh-ters graduated from Arlington High School and recently graduated from Washington colleges. They were very well-prepared for college work by the educa-tion system in Arlington.

I believe current and future Arlington students need to be guaranteed the same level of educational excellence. We cannot wait for the state to honor its obligation to amply fund education, so please join me in voting “yes” for this renewal of an existing levy.

-Megan Logan, Arlington

Invest in childrenI am in support of the

upcoming Arlington School District Levy. Education is one of the single-best measures to invest in our children and our future.

In an article in Forbes (July 5, 2012) titled, “What makes a great school,” there is a formula for success: Robust teacher support; Active family engagement; Supportive environmental conditions; Strong social and emo-tional student growth; and

a school-wide climate of high expectations

What do these five ingredients have in com-mon with voting for a levy? It sends a message loud and clear that we care about our children and youth.

The fact is that Arlington’s levy renewal will not cost taxpayers additional money. This is not a new tax, but a replacement of our expir-ing levy ending this year. The estimated tax rate is expected to be $3.56 per $1,000 of assessed value, lower than the current rate of $3.60.

Arlington School District will use this money for materials, curriculum and academic supports in:

•Health and safety for emergency preparedness and transportation,

•Early learning and spe-cial education,

•STEM – Science, tech-nology, engineering and math, and

•After school clubs, activities and summer pro-grams.

According to the League of Education Voters, last year, in nearly 60 local bond and levy elections across the state, voters sent a firm message by approv-ing 55 school levies, raising more than $817 million. Arlington students deserve the same opportunities as students in the rest of the state as they compete for job opportunities and a chance to go to college.

Please, vote “yes” for the upcoming Arlington School District levy and give our children a chance to succeed.

Globe staffBrian H. Jones of Tulalip

faces up to 100 years in prison after being convicted Jan. 21 of assault by stran-

gulation, witness tampering and other charges in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

All of the charges are related to repeated assault

of an intimate partner, U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes said.

Following a six-day trial, Jones Sr., 46, only had to wait six hours for jury delib-eration.

Court papers and testi-mony say:

Jones assaulted both his ex-wife and her then-cur-rent husband in December 2014, holding them at gun-point.

In April 2015, Jones

assaulted his ex-wife a sec-ond time, strangling her and beating her.

Medical records indicate Jones’ ex-wife suffered inju-ries to her head, arms and legs, and throat trauma.

Following his arrest in both assaults, records reveal Jones repeatedly contacted his ex-wife and convinced her to refuse to testify in a tribal court trial, as well as to seek a dismissal of the federal charges or recant in

federal court.Prosecutors used evi-

dence including the ex-wife’s prior sworn state-ments, medical records and other witness statements to prove Jones’ guilt.

U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones scheduled sentencing for May 6.

Jones faces up to 20 years in prison for each of the crimes of assault by stran-gulation, assault resulting in serious bodily injury, assault

with a deadly weapon and witness tampering.

He also faces up to 10 years for being a felon in possession.

He faces a mandatory minimum term of seven years in prison consecutive to the other sentences for assault with a deadly weap-on.

The case was investigated by Tulalip Tribal police and the FBI.

MARYSVILLE – The Marysville Museum is clos-er to having a future along with its past, after receiv-ing $50,000 from the City Council Jan. 25.

That, plus $25,000 raised the past few months, still leaves the museum $75,000 short of its “Over the Top”

fund-raising goal, historical society president Ken Cage said.

“We were doing good for awhile, but it has slowed down,” Cage said.

Cage had hoped the museum would be done by the city’s 125th anniversary March 19, but now it looks

like that won’t happen. Sheetrock is being put up in the building on Armar Road this week.

“It won’t be ready for the open house, but we will still have speeches and a little program. People will have to imagine the rest,” Cage said.

He added that later in the year, when all the exhibits are ready, the museum will have a real grand opening.

In exchange for the city’s $50,000 donation, it will receive 750 hours in use of the museum over five years for classes, meetings and events.

Council Member Jeff Vaughan voted against the funding, saying it would set a precedent for other groups with worthy causes to ask for funds. He said the historical society used the wrong process. It should have asked for hotel-motel tax money.

MARYSVILLE – What do Munich, Germany, and Marysville, Washington, have in common.

Well, next year, it will be an OktoberFest celebration.

Jesica Stickles, chamber president/CEO, made that announcement at her State of the Chamber address Jan. 29 at the Tulalip Resort Casino.

“We will have brewer-

ies, wineries and distilleries featured from all over the Pacific Northwest,” Stickles said. ”There will be festive music, décor and food that will pull your senses so you feel you have transported to Munich, Germany.”

The entrance fee will give you five drinks, a mug, promotional materials and entries into the drawings.

The Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce also will return its carnival after July 4 and the Christmas

Party in December.The carnival will move to

a new location and will be adding performances and entertainment pieces.

The Christmas Party sold out in its first year and fea-tured auction items such as Seahawks gear, jewelry and resort packages.

Last year the cham-ber brought in $63,000 of revenue from new events. The funding helps support the Visitors Information Center, since the funding is

no longer available from the city or county.

“We are hoping to increase that bottom line so we can add technology to the VIC,” Stickles said. “We would like to have more of an appeal to the millennial guests.”

She would like to add phone charging stations, free wi-fi, self-service com-puters/kiosks.

The chamber has 192 businesses, serving over 10,000 people. About 68 percent are in Marysville, 18 percent in Everett, 10 percent in Tulalip and 4 percent in Arlington.

Over the next several months, the chamber will be doing studies of the busi-ness community, including priority reviews, relevant standards and models, and surveys, polls and inter-views.

It also will be doing one-

on-one interviews with business owners, looking for incubator buildings for commercial sites and offer-ing entrepreneur programs for innovative new busi-nesses.

Stickles said the cham-

ber does a lot more than economic development, although it does help the city and tribes with that.

She said the chamber cel-ebrates businesses once they are here, with things like ribbon cuttings or grand opening events. The cham-ber works on retaining busi-nesses to make sure they succeed in all they do.

Stickles said the chamber is a support organization, for when your business is growing and doesn’t know what the next steps are, for when your business is being regulated by laws that make no sense and you need help fighting them, when you are out of resources and don’t have time to research a quality option or learn how to do everything yourself.

“Let us help promote you, engage you and add positive exposure to your business,” she said.

MARYSVILLE – While Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring’s State of the City address was titled, “Moving Forward,” he spent most of his time looking back at 2015 in the speech Jan. 29 at Tulalip Resort Casino.

In the future, he did say police have some big things coming up. Three new school resource officers will be in Marysville schools, for a total of five. And police

will part-ner with the city and social s e r v i c e a ge n c i e s to address homeless-ness.

Tenants will be coming to the Lakewood Marketplace, with 910,000 square feet of retail space. There also will be 750 new housing units opening in 2016.

Other development in the future will be thanks to the Arlington-Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center market study. The Lakewood and State Avenue master plans will be worked on, as will a new cafete-ria at Marysville-Pilchuck

Arlington seniors Donovan Sellgren, left, and Drew Bryson have scored some high numbers in their past games, but have also assisted in coaching younger players on the team.

BY BRANDON [email protected]

ARLINGTON — It hasn’t been an easy season for the Arlington boys basketball team, but seniors Donovan Sellgren and Drew Bryson are waiting for that “signa-ture win.”

Sellgren led Arlington with 16 points and Bryson added 14 in a loss against Marysville-Pilchuck Jan. 26.

A loss the team wasn’t pleased with as M-P already defeated them earlier in the season.

Sellgren was experienc-ing some jetlag from a football recruiting visit to Chadron State in Nebraska, which hindered his perfor-

mance in the first half, he said. Arlington coach Nick Brown then had a talk with Sellgren.

“He said, me and Drew need to be there to push our team, and I got in my head that I need to carry this team,” Sellgren said.

“We got out in the sec-ond half and played a lot better.”

The duo has led Arlington in scoring in many of its games, but Brown wishes that would spread to the rest of the inexperienced team.

Execution and team cohesion has been the prob-lem for Arlington through-out the season, much ado to the lack of varsity expe-rience, a problem Sellgren and Bryson are working to

correct. But even the experience

between them is lacking. “They’re very tight

together, but they haven’t always known each other,” Brown said.

“They haven’t spent a lot of youth together and now they’e making up for lost time.”

Brown appreciates the extra help in coaching.

“Donny and Drew have been able to pick up some of that slack that I have not been able to do,” Brown said.

“They both understand the game so it’s nice to have them out there.”

The skill the two possess are unique and complimen-tary to each other.

“It helps a lot being the backcourt. Being together in the back court really helps us read each other and know where we’re each going to be,” Sellgren said.

Bryson plays guard, and Sellgren is the pointguard.

“It relieves a lot of pres-sure on me because some-times I’ll be getting double teamed, and Drew is right there, and he can get it and go, and it’s open for him,” Sellgren said.

“And when I’m driving it’s a nice kick to him because I always know where he’s at.”

Bryson envies Sellgren’s ball handling and ath-leticism to get to the rim and Sellgren compliments Bryson’s ability to score.

“I put up points, but

Drew just has that instinct that when he gets the ball, he knows how to score,” Sellgren said.

“I think that what one of us doesn’t bring to the table, the other one does,” Bryson said.

Sellgren came from Oak Harbor his sophomore year, and Bryson was one of his first friends.

The two have had a lot of experience playing together “But a lot of these guys are from JV last year — so its been hard adjusting to the new team,” Bryson said.

“We’ve shown spurts on what we can do, but then we go back to making the same mistakes,” Bryson said.

The team has great shoot-ers, so if they heat up some-

thing could happen, Bryson said.

The team is close, and they pretty much do every-thing together, going to Burger King after practice and playing other recreation sports.

“This is one of the clos-est groups I’ve ever been around,” Bryson said. “And it doesn’t really translate to the court.”

Sellgren is committed to play football at Chadron, but also plans to walk on for basketball.

Bryson has been getting letters but is more focused on summer AAU.

“They do a great job,” Brown said. “We have a huge learning curve right now.”

High-scoring duo helps coach Arlington

BY BRANDON [email protected]

MARYSVILLE — Marysville-Pilchuck boys basketball coach Bary Gould was pleased with younger players stepping

up in the Tomahawks 57-45 win over Arlington Jan. 26.

M-P senior Josh Bevan led with 17 points, but sophomores Josiah Gould added 16 and Freddy Brown scored 10, and freshman Raequan Battle scored six

and grabbed eight rebounds.“[Bevan] is creating so

much for his teammates. He’s beginning to trust and believe in the younger kids and creating shots for them,” Gould said. “It’s fun when you have that bal-ance between Josh” and the younger players.

And not to be outdone, Arlington’s Donovan Sellgren led the Eagles with 16 points and teammate

Drew Bryson added 14. M-P improved its record

5-10, and Arlington’s dropped 7-9. M-P plays Everett Feb. 2 at 7:15 p.m., and Arlington hosts Stanwood same date and time.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington boys wrestling team endured some tough matches to defeat Marysville Getchell 59-15 Jan. 26.

After three forfeits given to Arlington, 120-pound Christian Evanger “gutted out a win in his first match back since a severe shoulder injury in early December,” Arlington assistant coach Ben Mendro said.

Then at the 145-pound weight class, Arlington’s Jeremy Nygard took on MG’s Rage Quick in a “val-iant” match, but “Nygard broke open a close match

in the third round and was able to get the pin with 14 seconds left,” Mendro said.

The best match of the night was between Arlington’s Riley Oakes and Michael Stewart in the 152-pound weight class. “It was back and forth to a 6-6 tie at the end of reulation,” Mendro said. “In sud

SMOKEY POINT — The local area has no shortage of medical clinics and prac-titioners of health and well-ness, so when North Sound Physical Therapy conducted its open house at its new location, its members offered their thoughts.

“It’s not just here,” said Kathleen Buchanan, who offers yoga, nutrition and wellness coaching through Be Well. “I think it’s every-where. Everyone is getting older, and there’s been an explosion of both access to and information about dif-ferent avenues of health care, and the Pacific Northwest in general has always been willing to look outside the mainstream for advice.”

Dr. Jason Hontz, who offers neck and back pain relief as a chiropractic phy-sician, relocated from South Everett because he prefers the “nice, down-home feel of the community” in Arlington and Marysville,

while physical therapist Marty Stanton, who owns all four branches of North Sound, simply sees Smokey Point as an area where he’s managed to generate inter-est and trust by offering a range of services.

“A lot of places will hire professionals and try to mold them into a shared philosophy,” Stanton said. “Unlike generalists, we can provide multiple specialists on site, each of whom has their own fields of inter-est, whether it’s treating ver-tigo, sports-related injuries or Parkinson’s. You’re not limited to just one type of health care here. It’s a real one-stop shop.”

Stanton also takes pride in North Sound being locally owned and operated,

“rather than answering to an office in Tennessee or somewhere.”

Although this winter has been relatively light in snowfall, the folks at North Sound all acknowledged that adjusting to the coming spring will involve getting more active physically, so each offered a few tips.

“If you’re preparing to play a sport, be specific in how you do it,” Stanton said. “Don’t worry about bench-presses if you’re going to be skiing. You should mimic the stretching of the mus-cles that will tend to pull most during those activi-ties.” Hontz encouraged those who experience any significant discomfort to have it checked out, rath-er than merely assuming that it will pass. Buchanan echoed Stanton’s advocacy of diversity in care by telling prospective clients to seek out a program of care that will work for them.

“We’re all individuals, down to the biochemical level,” Buchanan said. “If

there was one food plan or exercise routine or lifestyle that worked for everyone, then everyone would lose weight and be fit. Don’t try to cram yourself into a box just because it might fit

someone else.”North Sound Physical

“It can’t just FEEL like home,it has to BE home.”

Jim Wilde watches over Lowe’s employees working on a deck at the Everett Women’s Shelter.

SMOKEY POINT – The Lowe’s here is one of 13 from Bellevue to Bellingham that is fixing up four housing units for homeless women and children in Lowell, near Everett.

Jim Wilde, human resources manager, said Lowe’s likes to give back to the community, and it has been helping the Everett Women’s Shelter for about five years. It spent $30,000 on new appliances a few years ago and has also done cabinets, countertops and

landscaping. This year, $20,000 is

being spent on new decks that will last a lifetime. The composite is made of recy-cled sawdust that is painted and waterproofed all the way through, so mainte-nance is zilch.

“We help these ladies get ready, back to work and then we hire them,” Wilde said.

He talked of one woman in Arlington who was homeless. She went to the McDonald’s, got cleaned up,

went to Lowe’s and got a job. When he found out she was homeless, he went with her to her campsite, helped her gather her things, then called to get a room at the Everett Women’s Shelter.

“They just need a start and a stable place to live,” Wilde said.

He said there is a miscon-ception that the homeless are not clean and sober.

“Anybody can make bad choices and life can throw anybody a curve ball,” he said.

Workers give back by helping shelter

Susan is in such a good state of mind that she feels she can help others. She met a woman who said she has been homeless for 10 years. She tried to recommend her to places that have helped her.

“But the only person who can help you is you,” she told the woman. “If drugs are your first love, you will never be free” of homeless-ness.

Susan said, “I’m the new face of homelessness - 60 and starting over.”

Charlene Jackson has been living at the shelter since June. She had been living in an apartment in Marysville and was facing eviction. She moved out and turned to couch surf-ing with her 19-year-old daughter.

They went to the wom-en’s shelter, and while her daughter has since moved out with friends, Jackson stayed and entered a train-ing program at Everett Community College in property management. She did an internship with Housing Hope using her new skills and hopes to get hired there full-time.

Until then, she works at the shelter as a resident

assistant, adding more skills to her resume.

Jackson said she used to work in customer service, but felt under-appreciated and wanted to learn some-thing new.

Born and raised in Seattle, Jackson moved to Snohomish County when her daughter was in the sec-ond grade.

“I prefer it; it’s not as crazy, and I like the schools,” she said.

Jackson said she had a hard time holding down jobs. “I’d quit and not worry about the consequences until the rent started piling up,” she said.

Jackson said because of the family shelter, “it’s not as bad as it could have been,” but she has had to live without her boyfriend of 15 years. She hopes to solve that issue by getting a job and her own place soon.

She said at EvCC she learned about fair hous-ing laws and time manage-ment. At the shelter she has learned conflict resolution but also how to rest, rejuve-nate and be positive.

“I just need to get my foot in the door somewhere,” Jackson said.

Suzanne Peterson is the program manager at the women’s shelter. As for Marysville’s effort to have

one, Peterson recommend-ed that churches, social services and the commu-nity need to all embrace the home. “It’s all about developing relationships,” Peterson said.

She said many clients who have left that shelter for jobs actually come back to volunteer because they want to stay connected.

Peterson said there are 800 homeless families in the county so a Marysville shel-ter certainly is needed. She said homeless are living in tents, cars and hotels try-ing to get their kids off to schools. “The community needs to wrap their arms around them,” she said.

Peterson said the reces-sion and the reduction in public services as a result reduced the ability of home-less to get back on their feet.

The goal is for women and children to only stay there up to 90 days, but it can be longer if they go to school, work or enter a recovery program.

“Our goal is not to make them homeless again,” Peterson said.

They can be more flex-ible because they operate through public donations, not government grants.

“They need to have a place to begin to rebuild and be safe with their chil-dren,” Peterson said.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington City Council looks likely to relax its stan-dards on marijuana pro-ducers and processors in February.

During the council’s Jan. 25 workshop, Chris Young, community and economic development director for the city, explained that cer-tain restrictions had already expired.

“When the state origi-nally legalized the sale of recreational marijuana, Arlington didn’t contest it,

but there was such a large pool of applicants initially that we were worried about the impact on our industrial economy,” Young said.

He pointed out that Arlington and Marysville’s joint goal of a Manufacturing Industrial Center in the area is based on employers bringing in a certain ratio of workers per square feet of workspace.

In July of 2014, Arlington limited the number of mari-juana producers and pro-cessors allowed within city limits to 14.

It also limited their cano-

pies to 10,000 square feet, or 15,000 square feet for com-bined producer/processors, while city staff conducted studies to determine what sort of economic and envi-ronmental impacts such facilities might have.

On Dec. 31, 2015, the cap on the number of producers and processors sunsetted, so the city’s marijuana laws already need to be revised.

“What we’re additionally recommending is that we remove the city’s restric-tions on canopy size,” said Young, who noted that this would allow producers and

processors to expand their canopies to as many as 30,000 square feet, which is what state laws allow.

“What we found was that there were no nega-tive impacts, and hardly any odors, so we might as well let state law regulate it,” Young said.

Although Arlington’s number of allowed mari-juana retailers has doubled, from one to two, thanks to the state merging medical and recreational retailers, Young clarified that the city has never regulated retail-ers.

“We did have a setback for growers whose location abutted residential areas, but again, there were no real odor problems or significant complaints,” Young said. “So

when the state reduced its buffers for everything but playgrounds and schools, we saw no reason to main-tain the setbacks.”

Young elaborated that the merger of medical and recreational retailers led to the state to realize that the 1,000-foot buffer it main-tained for playgrounds and schools was less practical for areas such as transit cen-ters and recreational facili-ties, whose buffers are now allowed to be as few as 100 feet.

The council will vote on the proposed amendments to its marijuana laws on Monday, Feb. 1, at 7 p.m.

Beloved father, son, brother, and friend, died peacefully with family at his side.

All who knew and loved him will sorely miss his generous smile, bountiful creativity, intense curiosity, and his loving heart. Ward was born in Lakeview, Oregon, the eldest son born to Everett and Dorothy Lynch (Ward). He moved to the Portland, OR area as a young child and attended school there until he moved to Tonasket, WA where he received his diploma from Tonasket High School. With World War II raging, he joined the Merchant Marines where he saw duty in the Philippines and the ports and convoys in the Pacific Theater. He took pride in his shaved head after crossing the Equator, a tradition in the Navy and Merchant Marines. He met his first wife, Constance Lynch (Dieffenbach), during a port call in Seattle, WA. She took his heart and name before he went back to sea. Upon his return, he settled in Tonasket with his new wife and first born child Caroline. He owned a Record Store in Tonasket for a number of years where his daughter Catherine (Lorraine), Jane Ellen, and Elizabeth, were born. He and his family moved to Mountlake Terrace, WA in 1954 where he worked at Kelly’s Television Repair shop in the Loyal Heights area of Seattle until 1956 when he took a position at Boeing Airplane Manufacture in Seattle. He spent the next 29 years supporting a growing family.

He and his wife Constance’s family continued to grow with Thomas, Christopher and Christina (the twins), Michael, Peter, Theresa, and Anthony.

He turned to art in his mid 40s, an interest he had had since his youth. Ward was well known for his three dimensional macramé hangings and inclusion of local material and of other artists’ works into his own. His macrame led to an in interest in jewelry and fine metal work. He soon found another passion and started teaching art classes. In 1973 he lost his first wife of 29 years, Constance, to cancer.

He met his second wife, Barbara Darilek (Bovela) shortly after and found new love and more children, as Barbara had 4 young children, Angela, Paul, Ronald, and Diane.

A family vacation led to an opportunity in Okanogan, WA which Ward thought too good to miss. He purchased a rock and gem shop and he and new wife Barbara, along with their 7 youngest children relocated to Okanogan, WA.

The Okanogan Artisan rose from the ashes of the Rock and Gem Shop he had purchased in 1976. He continued his artwork expanding into different mediums and techniques. For many years he taught numerous classes devoted to art history and technique part time at the local Community College in Omak, WA and at his business in Okanogan. His attention was then captured by the local Omak

Community Theater where he was able to provide the knowledge and expertise learned from many years in electronics and art to install theater lighting and direction which continued for many years.

With the departure of their offspring and Barbara’s retirement, they moved to Everson, WA where he continued his art and teaching up until his last days. Ward had many interests and found the most joy in teaching and sharing his love of art and the world around him with his many friends, students, and children.

Ward is survived by his wife Barbara, his daughters Lorraine Tedrow, Jane Ellen Lynch, Elizabeth Lynch, Christina Lee, Anastasia Miller, Angela Doty (Darilek), Diane (Darilek) McKinney; his sons Tom, Christopher, Michael, Peter, Anthony Lynch, and Ron and Paul Darilek, and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren, and many sons and daughters he “adopted” along the way. He is preceded in death by his mother, father, older sister Dorothy, younger brother James, oldest daughter Carolyn Sue Pierce (Lynch), oldest son John Ward Lynch, Jr., and a son who died at birth.

ARLINGTON — The Arlington-Stillaguamish Eagle Festival is returning for its ninth year Feb. 5-6, with arts and crafts, river trips and exhibits celebrat-ing the local environment and its wildlife.

The Country Carvers Chainsaw Carving Show will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 5-6 at Legion Park downtown. Twelve chain-saw carvers will carve eagles and other art. On Feb. 6 at 2:30 p.m., Nyal Thomas will carve an ice sculpture that will be auctioned off at 3 p.m., along with an assort-ment of wooden carvings.

The Rock, Paper, Scissors Show will feature art in all media Feb. 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Magnolia Hall at 225 E. Third St.

You can embark on an

hourlong bird identifica-tion walk by meeting at Country Charm Park, at 604 E. Gilman, at 9 a.m. on Feb. 6. From 10 a.m. to noon, wildlife biologists will offer eagle-spotting tours of the Port Susan Bay Nature Conservancy, at the mouth of the Stillaguamish River.

The Arlington City Council Chambers will host an open house with the Sarvey Wildlife Center from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 6, featuring birds of prey that have been rescued but are unable to be released back in the wild.

The Arlington United Church at 101 E. Fourth St. will conduct hands-on arts and crafts projects for kids from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 6, along with a bake sale and soup lunch.

BRIEFSGrant cleans up streetsMARYSVILLE – The city is going to

be able to literally clean up its streets, thanks to a Department of Ecology grant. The grant will pay $505,511 of the $674,015 cost of a street sweeper.

The project will improve water qual-ity in the Allen/Quilceda Creek water-shed by enabling the city to purchase, operate and maintain a high efficien-cy/regenerative air sweeper.

This project will add additional capacity to the city’s street sweep-ing program by increasing the vol-ume of sediment and other pollutants removed from city streets up to 55 percent, or 763 cubic yards, for each of the next four years.

Medical license revokedMARYSVILLE - A Marysville phy-

sician who had her medical license revoked in September 2015 has now had it permanently revoked and will never be allowed to be reinstated.

Ann C. Kammeyer waived her right to a hearing after the suspension. The

final order completes the legal process in this case.

The state Medical Commission took action based on charges that Kammeyer committed unprofession-al conduct by improperly prescrib-ing opioid medication to numerous patients. Kammeyer routinely pre-scribed high doses of opioids that exceeded daily limit rules. According to charging documents, two patients died after taking the high doses they’d been prescribed.

Grief counseling set to beginMARYSVILLE – In its fourth year

of providing weekly grief support ses-sions, Mountain View Presbyterian Church begins its 2016 Spring GriefShare® Series starting Feb. 11 through May 12.

GriefShare helps individuals cope with the death of someone close. Group meetings will occur each Thursday at the church, 1:30–3:30 p.m. Preregister by contacting 360-659-7777 or [email protected].

Locals part of ‘Masquerade Party’MARYSVILLE – Local residents

Steve Smith and Amy Nansel are among the Everett Chorale members who will perform at “A Masquerade Party” Annual Gala Sing-Along event Feb. 20 from 5:30-9 p.m. at the Everett Holiday Inn.

Cost for the chorale’s 50th Anniversary Celebration is $50 a per-son.

A buffet meal will be served, and the evening will include silent and live auctions and a variety of raffle baskets

For tickets call 425-290-6299.

Pinewood school gets mini grantMARYSVILLE – Pinewood

Elementary 5th-grade teacher Suzette Nielson has received one of 13 Snohomish County PUD mini-grants.

Her students will use Snap Circuit kits to learn about energy systems, giving students a chance to evaluate subsystems, transfers of energy, forms of energy, and the inputs and outputs of each system.

ARLINGTON — Tony Bravo dedicated his life to Jesus after kicking a year-long addiction to heroin, but it’s been through the H.U.G.E. Men of God that he’s found fellowship.

“Even after I’d quit doing drugs, I wanted to do things my own way, and that wasn’t working out,” said Bravo, now 23, who was saved two years ago. “As men, we wear masks. But I come here, and it’s so cool to see a bunch of men, all different ages and colors, from different denominations and church-es, and we unite as one.”

Bravo was one of the attendees who filled the Arlington Assembly of God Jan. 26, for the first of five weekly nights of prayer, song and working through personal problems with other men.

“There’s a spirit of wel-coming here,” Bravo said. “You can walk in and get a bro-hug from a complete stranger. Other church groups I’ve gone to, it’s been all about telling me what I’m doing wrong, what I need to do, but this is a place of love, where they ask, ‘What can we do to help you get better?’ It’s about progress,

not perfection.”Dan Hazen, pastor of

Allen Creek Community Church in Marysville, served as the keynote speaker, drawing laughter by comparing the imperfect practice of Christianity to the manly pursuit of sports, which can be entertaining and uplifting, but is ulti-mately inconsequential.

Citing the Book of James, Hazen asserted that fol-lowing the rules laid out by scripture makes no dif-ference if a man is simply checking off items on a list, without reading those pas-sages in the context of the rest of the Bible, and with-out being transformed from the inside by God.

“It’s not just a manual for sin management,” Hazen said, as he argued that the Books of Paul and James

don’t contradict each other, but instead complement one another.

“Paul tells us that salva-tion is by faith alone, but when James talks about faith without works, what he’s really saying is that true faith should automatically result in you taking a differ-ent action than you would otherwise,” he added. “You don’t just want to behave better, or even think bet-ter, but be better. Faith plus deeds is transformative.”

Hazen cited himself as an example of an imperfect man who still needs to be

reminded to give himself over to God, as he recalled how he caught himself unfairly judging a group of homeless people, even as he served them through his church. “In that moment, I just broke down,” Hazen said, close to tears as he spoke to the crowd. “I had to let God be my empathy.”

James Brooke, one of the organizers of H.U.G.E., ambled through the eve-ning’s musical perfor-mances and group prayers and announcements with an approachable amiabil-ity, as he explained that the

group’s acronym stood for “Honoring God, Unifying Men, Growing in Christ and Equipping Disciples.”

“What I see and hear from so many of these men is that they’re suffering from a lack of identity,” Brooke said. “If you don’t know who you are, you can’t move forward.

“Instead, you often make selfish choices, that satis-fy you in the moment,” he added. “Having an identity helps give you a sense of purpose. It’s the difference between what it means to live, rather than just to exist.” Through each eve-

ning’s breakout groups, the men who attend are able to explore the sources of the pain they’ve experienced and are given tools to deal with those issues.

“What matters is not just what the Bible says, but how we apply it to our own lives,” Brooke said. “We need to take what we hear in this church outside to the rest of the world.”

The H.U.G.E. Men of God will return to the Arlington Assembly of God at 7 p.m. on the Tuesdays of Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23. For details, visit www.hugemenofgod.org.
