For 9 1/2 years, Byron Wright’s family held out hope that he was still alive.

“We all hoped by some miracle that he was sitting on a beach in Mexico having a good time,” his youngest sister, Sharon Diehl, says in court papers.

He wasn’t. He was killed almost 10 years ago by his wife, Michele Donohue, in their rural home in the hills between Arlington and Marysville. He was stabbed in the back of the head about a dozen times sometime in September of 2004.

Donohue pleaded guilty to second-degree murder July 11. She was sentenced to 16 years in prison July 29.

Humble beginnings Wright’s father left the family when Byron was 4 or 5, so he and his three siblings were raised on welfare by their mother, who had multiple sclerosis.

Wright’s younger brother, Norman, says it was a closeknit family. “My mother raised us in a loving home before she became ill,” he says in court papers.

When their mother could no longer care for them, they went to live with their aunt and uncle in Ballard in 1967. Wright was 15.

Larry Ringstad, a neighbor, became Wright’s best friend. They loved cars and working on them. They would cruise the Renton Loop and Colby Avenue in Everett. Wright raced at Seattle International Raceway. He joined the Coast Guard for four years and enjoyed some adventures.

“Even though he got motion sickness it was a means for him to get ahead,” family friend Joan O’Malley says in court papers. “He came home from being at sea talking about playing football with the penguins.”

ARLINGTON — With Arlington’s National Night Out Against Crime coming up on Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 5-8 p.m., city Public Safety Director Bruce Stedman gave the City Council a preview July 28 of the “All-In Campaign” that he’ll be presenting.

Stedman explained that, rather than the city coordinating the Night Out, seven neighborhoods will be conducting their own barbecues and block parties for the annual event, which city officials will visit.

In addition to Stedman, citizens can

expect to see Mayor Barbara Tolbert, Assistant City Administrator Kristin Banfield, Public Works Director Jim Kelly, Community and Economic Development Director Paul Ellis and members of the City Council, police and fire departments.

“We’ll be talking crime prevention, handing out stickers and having people take ‘All-In’ pledges,” said Stedman, who noted that officials would probably only be able to devote 20 minutes to each neighborhood to hit all of the locations.

Jacob Rengen of Arlington shows how rainwater off of roofs could be used as toilet water.

Kids flush with energy-saving ideas

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Close to 40 high school students in the Arlington School District gathered at Weston High School July 30 to present ideas on how the district could decrease its carbon footprint by utilizing renewable energy resources.

The students’ presentations were the culmination of a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math program July 21-30, during which they took field trips throughout the state to gain hands-on lessons in

real-world, energy-saving measures.

Arlington High junior Blake Kucera compared the costs of installing two types of solar-power systems at the high school and stadium. In both cases, the solar panels alone would cost $250,000, while an inverter from Blue Frog Solar would add $39,600.

By contrast, an inverter and battery system from Outback Power would add as much as $80,000, but Kucera touted its additional benefits.

SEE STUDENTS, PAGE 2

August 02, 2014

“An inverter converts direct to alternating current, so that you can run straight off the solar panels, but if the power grid goes down, you can’t use it, in case they’re trying to fix the power lines,” Kucera said. “With batteries, you can store energy from the panels, and still run off the batteries while the grid goes down.”

If the power went out in the middle of a school day, Kucera explained that the computers would likely go down as well, but everything from the lights to the freezers for school meals still could be powered.

“You could still teach classes on the whiteboards,” said Kucera, who will enroll at Everett Community College next year and plans to open a green business someday.

Fellow AHS junior Jacob Rengen demonstrated a model for how rainwater runoff from the school’s roof and parking lots could be used for its toilets, as well as to water its grounds, sports fields and Future Farmers of America greenhouse.

“We’d still need to use treated water to wash our hands,” Rengen said. “When water is treated by the PUD, though, it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, so we want to minimize that.”

Rengen explained that the school could run off a vault of stored rainwater for nine days, thanks to the precipitation levels of the Northwest. While installing such a system would cost $180,000, he said it would pay itself off in nine years, after which it would save the school $20,000 and 2 million gallons of water a year.

cRiMe FROM Page 1 During the council’s workshop, Stedman described the Crime Prevention League as “a program that could be a model for the nation,” by involving the council, police, city employees and committees, citizens and businesses as five prongs to respond to crime.

“I’ve seen how this community has responded to the Relay For Life and the Oso slide, so I know we can do this,” Stedman said. “For someone like me, who came from Los Angeles, that level of community response is impressive.”

Stedman credited the council with already supplying the legislative tools to deal with illegal camping and aggressive panhandling. Although he acknowledged that a pro-

Hello Neighbor Community has always been an integral part of our business and company values. We are proud to say that throughout our 124 year history we’ve been family owned and operated.

posed law for tobacco-free parks would be difficult to enforce, he touted the measure as a means for police to make contact with those who might be engaging in other illegal activities.

Stedman asserted the ability of data-driven policing to target the hot spots of when and where crime is most active, and listed the Pro-Act Team and a new police substation in Smokey Point as resources that the police could use to increase their responsiveness. He also plans to trade out the school resource officer and foster stronger partnerships between the police and social service organizations, including Volunteers of America and Cocoon House.

Stedman called upon the city’s employees, citizens and businesses to take a more active role in reporting suspicious activity, both to police and each other, through neighborhood and business watch programs. To facilitate those discussions, community crime prevention meetings are set for 7-8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 6, at the Stillaguamish Senior Center, and on Thursday, Aug. 7, at Haller Middle School.

“This is an inclusive program that will take everybody being ‘All-In,’” Stedman said. “It’ll work as long as everyone does their own small part.”

Aspen Brisbin, 8, sells lemonade to help others.

Helping fire victims

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Arlington’s Aspen Brisbin, 8, sells lemonade to help some friends in need.

Family friends Jesse and Jessie Schumsky were burned out of their home weeks ago on 61st street.

“All of a sudden she just wanted to help them get money for their house,” Aspen’s mother, Annette Brisbin, said. “It’s just one of those proud-mommy moments.”

When Aspen heard the news, she and her brother, Kane, 5, built a stand to raise money for Jessie and Jesse.

“They’re really nice people and very caring,” Aspen

said. “I know I’m doing something nice for them.”

So far she has raised $208 since she first opened the stand July 28. Her goal is to raise “a lot” of money.

“Her mindset is to be out here indefinitely,” Brisbin said.

The Brisbins started using a mix to make their drinks but then switched to buying and squeezing fresh lemons.

The support shown by the community has been tremendous, Brisbin said.

“Once she tells them what she’s doing it for, they will hand her a ten-dollar bill,” Brisbin said.

Aspen’s lemonade stand can be found near the end of 211th right before 67th Ave NE.

Proposed coal plant could help with rail bridges spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Mayor Jon Nehring has a love-hate relationship with the proposal for a new coal terminal in Cherry Point.

What he wouldn’t like would be increased train traffic in town.

What he would like is federal and state money to build more bridges over the railroad to improve traffic flow with fewer delays waiting for trains.

Nehring said he’s been fighting the proposed Gateway Pacific Terminal north of Bellingham for 3 1/2 years.

“They were trying to slide that through with no comments,” Nehring said.

But he and others met with then-governor Chris Gregoire, who slowed down the process.

“There’s so much opposition now” to it going to Ferndale. “It’s hard to predict” where it might

end up, although he said Longview might be a good choice.

The City Council passed a resolution against the terminal in May of 2012.

A survey published July 24 by the Puget Sound Regional Council showed that a new coal terminal north of Marysville would bring up to 18 new trains per day through town. That would slow down commercial and commuter traffic, emergency response times, and ultimately have an economic impact of $1.65 million per year in Marysville alone, the report says.

“The beauty of this is it brings attention to our railroad problems outside of Snohomish County,” Nehring said of the publicity surrounding the survey.

Currently the only routes that bypass the train tracks to get in and out of the city are north and south of town. But if you live, work and/or need business ser-

vices from 4th to 116th streets, “You have to wait the trains out,” the mayor said.

The mayor and council favor on- and off-ramps at Interstate 5 and 4th Street in a $50 million project.

Nehring said increased coal train traffic wouldn’t bring much help to Marysville. He said Ferndale would see all of the job growth.

The mayor also said the city will see an increase in train traffic no matter what. The report, prepared by a team of consulting firms, points out that freight rail traffic in Washington by 2035 is expected to grow 130 percent to 238 million tons of cargo, even without the new coal terminal. Rail freight already has increased 81 percent from 1991 to 2012, from 64 to 116 millions tons.

Marysville has 16 at-grade crossings on public streets along

the north-south rail line. Long trains frequently create backups in town, often clogging the offramps from I-5. Wait times at crossings, which range from a total of 22 minutes to an hour and a half per day, could increase by as much as 147 percent per day within Marysville.

The trains are expected to be about 1.6 miles long. One report Marysville commissioned in 2011 noted that a single long train could simultaneously block all the railroad crossings between First Street and NE 88th Street.

Train noise and vibration, vehicle circulation and access impacts, and safety concerns, along with lower property values, are key concerns about increased railroad usage.

The mayor also said he’d like to city BNSF pay more for mitigation of increased train traffic. Federal law limits its cost to 5 percent,

Field day gives insight on soils

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Soil scientist Dave Peterson stood in the shallow pit that he’d dug on the Graves family’s property, surrounded by trees and woodland owners.

“Most of what we see is above the ground, but soil is the source of all our productivity,” said Peterson, who owns a 20-acre tree farm in south Skagit County.

“There’s such a great diversity in soils, from wet to dry, and poorly to well-drained, that even soil scientists can only be experts in relatively small geographical areas.”

Peterson used a digging tool called a sharp-shooter to lay out multiple layers of soil from the pit, which he described as a dynamic system affected by water filtration and the layers of organic matter that settle onto the forest floor.

“And if anybody thinks that soil profiles aren’t important, I’d just tell them to think of the Oso slide,” Peterson said.

Peterson served as the

instructor for one of six stations at the North Puget Sound Forestry Field Day, which was coordinated July 26 by the WSU Forestry Extension program, the Department of Natural Resources and the Snohomish Conservation District. He used the Mattson Road property near Arlington to illustrate how the surrounding environment and human development affect soils.

“We’re on a flat surface in the middle of hills, so water drains down into this valley,” Peterson said. “There’s a lot of cedar trees here, since the soil is more moist.

With just a few observations, we’ve already interpreted some key traits of the soil here.”

WSU Regional Extension Specialist Kevin Zobrist, who provided tips on pruning trees and growing edible mushrooms that day, noted that eight Darrington High School students joined two WSU interns, 10 instructors, 10 exhibitors and 65 public attendees at this Reach

year’s forestry field day.

“Especially after the slide, we wanted to provide youths with an opportunity for gainful employment with the U.S. Forest Service, which builds their careers and is helpful to us,” he said.

By covering subjects ranging from tree planting and seedling care to invasive species and fire prevention, Zobrist hopes that attendees’ appetites were whetted for WSU’s Forestry Extension courses.

“Half of them had never been to a forestry extension event before, so this was all new to them,” Zobrist said.

“Our classes are usually multi-week affairs, so a field day like this lets them take in a sampler platter of our offerings with a minimal commitment. We have people enrolling in more in-depth classes that they didn’t even know existed

before.”

Although WSU Forestry Extension will return to Snohomish County to offer forest stewardship classes in the early spring of next year, its on-site courses in the county are wrapping up for this year. On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the extension office at McCollum Park will host the debut of the North Puget Sound Chapter of “Women Owning Woodlands” starting at 6 p.m.

“Women represent an increasing segment of woodland owners, but they might not feel as free to speak up or ask questions in a more male-dominated environment,” Zobrist said.

“This gives them a chance to do peer-to-peer learning and networking with each other.”

Admittance is free. RSVP at 425-357-6023.

about what Wal-Mart paid for traffic mitigation for its new store at Highway 529, the mayor noted.

Seattle-based SSA Marine’s Gateway Pacific Terminal project is in the planning stages and isn’t expected to be operating at full capacity until 2019.

City leaders in Marysville have studied their rail problems for years and recently hired a consultant to research alternatives to the city’s multiple at-grade crossings.

The new PSRC report estimates that mitigation projects would cost $50 million to $200 million each. Two environmental impact statements are expected in mid2015, at which time a public comment period will begin.

If the terminal does end up at Cherry Point, Nehring just wants government to mitigate the impacts.

“Just don’t clog our city down,” Nehring said.

Only we can prevent forest fires

Today’s news is filled with images of the massive wildfires roaring through the OkanoganWenatchee National Forest in Central Washington.

The arid pine forests east of the Cascades are prone to wildfire, especially when they are attacked by bark beetles that bore into the trees and suffocate them. Now those tiny insects are boring into healthy majestic trees in the pristine Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area.

One way to prevent such infestations is through selective thinning and removing dead and diseased trees. But many community organizations and “Friends Of ” groups want our public forestland left untouched. But the fact is nature is dynamic and changing, and no matter how intricately lawmakers design their legislation and rules, fires, insects and disease respect no boundaries. Like it or not, we have to deal with reality.

Private forest landowners understand that, to have healthy lush forests, they have to be managed and

that includes logging, which many folks oppose.

While harvests have decreased in our state, Washington’s Department of Natural Resources actively manages our state forests, harvesting timber to generate income and thinning stands to protect against wildfires, disease and insect infestation. But the federal government continues to have a virtual “hands off ” policy in our national forests — a policy that increases the chance of massive fires and disease.

More than a century of fires provides stark evidence of the economic and environmental devastation wrought by massive wildfires.

Last year, a fire in Yosemite National Park burned 250,000 acres of timber and meadows at a cost of $100 million. Experts will be working for years to repair the environmental damage to wildlife habitat and streams.

The 1988 Yellowstone Park fire burned almost one million acres at a cost of $111 million.

largest forest fire in state history which ignited in the Gorge, killed 38 people in Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania counties and destroyed 238,920 acres of timber, worth more than $750 million today.’

In 2013, the House Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulation held a hearing on forest management presided over by U.S. Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA).

Witnesses contrasted Washington state’s forest management with that of “the other Washington.”

National forests were created in part to provide timber income for the taxpayers. But political pressure has slowed harvests to a trickle, resulting in a loss of income for

Quilceda carvers in M’ville offer hands-on lessons

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

Kirk Boxleitner/Staff Photo

Bremerton woodcarving instructor Jeff Iller shows off some of his pieces.

MARYSVILLE — The Red Curtain Arts Center in Marysville played host for the first time to the Quilceda Carvers’ annual Spit ‘n’ Whittle July 25-27.

Carl Knust, president of the carving club, estimated that between 60-70 people attended over the three days.

“Based on the feedback we got from our members, this arts center is an excellent venue for many things,” said Knust, who noted that Spit ‘n’

Whittle has been hosted by many sites within the past 14 years, most recently near Burlington.

“We just try to get as many people in one place as we can. Everybody who went had the opportunity to have hands-on lessons in whittling.”

While Ted Rumsey of Camano Island carved walking sticks, S n o h o m i s h’s M i l d r e d Holder and Sultan’s Annette Schalo learned how to craft a miniature 3D

Japanese anime-style figure from Bremerton instructor Jeff Iller. Ferndale’s Larry Wickkiser received instruction on how to fashion whimsical treehouse decorations out of 200-year-old cottonwood bark from Arizona.

Knust said the club will again staff a booth at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe from Aug. 21 through Sept. 1, which he asserted “always generates a lot of interest.”

The group typically meets in the red barn at Jennings Park on the fourth Saturday of the month. But the Aug. 23 meeting will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the park’s barbecue shelter. For more information, call Knust at 360-657-4611 or go to www.quilcedacarvers.org.

Arlington mural project offers outlet to at-risk youth

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe

ARLINGTON — Although the City Council won’t vote until Monday, Aug. 4, to approve an art project, the council members informally gave the go-ahead July 28 for project organizers to schedule a work party the day after the council’s official decision.

Snohomish County Superior Court Probation Program Manager Mike Irons explained how the mural on the public worksvacated water treatment facility, on West Avenue bordering the Centennial Trail, could tell the city’s

history while enriching the lives of young people at risk.

“It would connect those youths with positive prosocial adults,” Irons said.

“It gives them a positive alternative and lets them know they’ve made a difference,” added Henri Wilson, program coordinator for the Denney Juvenile Justice Center’s Promising Artists In Recovery.

Arlington Arts Council President Sarah Arney explained that the arts council aims to raise $2,000 to add to the two community donations of $1,000 each toward the project.

City Public Works Director

Jim Kelly’s staff already has applied primer to the surfaces.

“The city purchased that building in 1939, and it’s fully paid for,” Kelly said, drawing laughter from workshop attendees.

Kelly added that the mural would receive the same treatment as the retaining wall along the newly refurbished section of 67th Avenue, which allows graffiti to wash right off.

Indeed, Arney cited a public meeting earlier this year between Arlington police and downtown business owners, to prevent graffiti and other vandal-

ism, as the inspiration for this project.

The county’s juvenile court system ran PAIR as a pilot program in 2011.

Wilson and Arney already had talked about potential art projects for young people in Arlington, and local artist Jillian Mattison sketched out a mural, which

summed up the city’s history through portraits of its people’s activities over the past few centuries.

Among the sketched subjects were an Indian woman paddling a riverboat, farmers digging potatoes, an Indian village and trading center, log trucks and tractors, a milk truck making

deliveries, a railroad engine, utility workers in bucket trucks, a pilot in an airplane, skate boarders and fishers in the river.

Work parties are being slated daily to accommodate variable schedules.

For more information, call Arney at 360-435-3778 or Wilson at 425-314-2251.

Expect August detours on Hwy. 530 OSO – Drivers traveling through the section of Highway 530 near the site of this spring’s tragic landslide should allow extra time for their trips on certain midweek dates during August.

Contractor crews have

been making progress since June on building the new, elevated 530 just south of the existing roadway. To advance to the next phases of construction they will need to divert traffic for 31-hour periods each week

in August.

During those times, traffic will return on a one-way, piloted basis to a neighboring single-lane gravel road, known as the Seattle City Light access road. Pilot cars will escort westbound traf-

fic at the top of the hour and eastbound traffic on the half hour, around the clock.

“The detours for this project are scheduled during the middle of the week to minimize traffic impacts to the community, and avoid conflicts with major summer events,” said Washington State Department of Transportation Regional

the roadway for improved fish passage and complete paving, guardrail and restriping work to connect the new, elevated eastern section with existing 530.

At all other times in August, traffic will continue to operate on a two-way basis on the existing 530.

The reconstruction project costs $28.1 million.

Rabbits, hogs, cows draw 3,500 to Silvana Fair

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SILVANA — The 67th annual Silvana Community Fair drew up to 3,500 attendees to the fairgrounds outside Viking Hall July 26, which fair treasurer Darlene Strotz deemed one of the best levels of turnout yet.

“Of course, the animal showings were most popular,” Strotz said of the event that marks the start of fair season in the Northwest.

“We had a terrific dairy selection, and lots of good beef entries. There were plenty of fine rabbits and goats and chickens.”

While Stanwood’s Ethan Johnson showed his Angus/ Simmental cow Manny, and Monroe’s Katelyn Peterson took the third place ribbon for novice showmanship of her Angus, K.C., Marysville’s Taylor Kendall was competing in her third year of rabbit showing, earning her the best-in-show ribbon for ages 9-11.

“The most important thing is to keep their cages clean because otherwise they can get diseases,” said Taylor, 11, whose rabbit, Cinnabun, was named the overall grand

champion. “The first year I showed rabbits, I was really nervous, but as I started winning awards, I got to like it.”

Taylor cares for four baby rabbits and 10 adults, and has been raising rabbits for four years.

Marysville’s Sam Rush, 12, hadn’t even bothered to name

the 6-month-old crossbred Yorkshire/Hampshire pig that he showed at this year’s fair, since he’ll be selling it.

“You make good money from raising hogs,” Sam said.

“You have to put a lot of money into it, though.”

Sam also cited the importance of commitment.

“You have to train them

all year,” Sam said. “Hogs can be very stubborn, so you just have to walk them through and not give in. If you don’t control them, they’ll control you.”

“This fair is a great experience for these kids,” Strotz said. “They learn so much, and it prepares them for the rest of the fairs to come.”

Building a Business Foundation

DARRINGTON — In partnership with the Northwest Agriculture Business Center, a Value Added “Building a Business Foundation” workshop will be available Thursday, Aug. 7, at the rodeo grounds in

Arlington gets new turf field

Aug. 2, 2014

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

Brandon Adam/Staff Photo Brandon Adam/Staff Photo

Workers stretch out the turf in Arlington. A $200,000 grant helped with the $1 million project. said. “They want to be a part of it.”

Conley isn’t sure when and where the Seahawks could show up but she does know that they are very involved with youth football.

Other than that the field is progressing as planned.

It is expected to be ready before Arlington’s 2014 football season Sept 5.

“The football team

should have some time to practice on it as well,” Logan added.

The turf renovation replaces the grass field with an artificial turf.

Workers have removed six inches of sand and the drain line to expose the regular pea gravel to place a layer of permeable gravel and the synthetic turf.

“A tremendous amount of leveling was involved,”

Logan said.

The new turf will help Arlington athletically and academically. Players were becoming injured on the muddy soil and PE classes were unable to use the field because of its slippery conditions.

“I’m super excited,” Arlington athletic director Tom Roys said. “We’ve always been looking to have this done.”

ARLINGTON — Arlington High School has received its $200,000 NFL Grassroots grant it applied for earlier this year for its turf reconstruction.

Arlington was one of 15 high schools in the nation to receive an NFL grant.

“It helps us out financially. We’re responsible for the public’s money and having a grant that pays for a fifth of it is huge,” AHS executive director of operations Sid Logan said. The total cost of the field is $1 million.

That grant means more capital to work on other projects including roof and gym repairs later in the year.

But it doesn’t stop there.

“We’re definitely working on involving the Seahawks,” ASD public information coordinator Andrea Conley

Aqua Sox first baseman Kyle Petty and teammate and catcher Adam Martin sign autographs at Britt’s Sports Cards in Arlington. Players on the Class A minor league team in Everett often provide such services in the public to bond with fans.

Everett ballplayers sign autographs in Arlington

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

ARLINGTON — Avid sports lover Mike Britt hosted the 2nd Annual AquaSox signing at Britt’s Sport Cards in Arlington July 26.

The free event featured AquaSox first baseman Kyle Petty, catcher Adam Martin and mascot Webbly signing autographs and items, as well as a free drawing.

Petty was born in Stewartsville, N.J. and attended the California University of Pennsylvania, and Martin was born in Marietta, Ga., and attended Western Carolina University. “They have busy schedules and the fact that they came out to visit our community is humbling,” Britt said.

The winner of the drawing was Connie Rice, who won a chance to deliver the first pitch for the Aqua Sox game on Aug. 10, tour the facility and meet coaches.

“She’s a hardcore fan; you never know where the tickets are going to,” Britt said.

“So it’s good to know the tickets went to a dedicated fan.”

Petty and Martin enjoyed their opportunity to meet the Arlington community.

“It’s good to see a smile on the kids’ faces,” Petty said. “It’s never something

I got to do as a kid, because there was no minor league team where I was from.”

“This is just another way to give back to the community,” Martin said.

One of those lucky kids was Connor Engbert, who pitched for the Stilly Valley 11-year-old team.

“I just met them today, and they seemed like cool guys,” he said. “I saw the passion that they have, and they love the game.”

Connor also hopes to climb through the minor league system when he advances in baseball.

Britt became involved with the AquaSox through a business partnership established last year. How the small-business owner and the AquaSox met was a “funny story.”

“We were actively looking for new businesses to get involved with the team.

I called what we thought was to be a repair shop, but Mike picked up the phone,” AquaSox account executive Duncan Jensen said. “He seemed really interested in working with us.”

It turned out to be the perfect fit.

“Mike has been a good sponsor for us, and the sports theme is a natural tiein,” AquaSox executive vice president Tom Backemeyer said.

MURDER FROM Page 1 Loved his family As he got older, Wright stayed in touch with his family.

“He never missed a holiday with his youngest sister, Sharon, and her family. He would never miss his nieces’ birthdays. He came to most of the milestone events in my life,” Ringstad says in court papers.

Wright’s oldest niece, Jennifer Wheeler, says: “My ‘Uncle By’ was the silly, fun uncle that bought goofy presents because he had no idea what to buy a young girl, but they always turned out to be the present my sister and I loved the most.”

At Easter he would dye eggs with them and at Christmas stay after everyone else to listen to the record “T’was the Night Before Christmas.” He would help their parents put together bikes, Barbie houses or other presents.

“He didn’t have any children of his own; we were his kids,” Wheeler says in court papers.

Some success Wright worked hard at Boeing for 23 years and was able to save some money.

He was proud of the doublewide mobile home, huge shop and land he bought.

“He was a happy and proud man because he had done it on his own,” Diehl says of his “little piece of heaven on earth.”

Being a “car guy,” he also had a collection of eight automobiles, including a Corvette Stingray and a ‘65 Chevy Malibu.

‘Shelly’ enters his life Wheeler says the family first met Michele “Shelly” Donohue when Wright brought her over for a Thanksgiving dinner.

“Byron was a car nut. He could talk cars for hours.

She knew more about cars and their parts than any woman I ever knew,” O’Malley says of Donohue.

But the family says she became controlling.

“We would have loved to have spent more time with Byron, but Michele didn’t allow that to happen,” Norman says.

Norman said family tried to contact Wright by phone or by sending cards, but Donohue would intervene.

“I’m not even sure my brother knew we were trying to reach him,” Norman says.

The niece, Wheeler, says she spent years feeling guilty that the family had done something to push

Prosecutor Cindy Larson and her team discuss strategy.

Byron Wright’s sister, Sharon Diehl, and friend Larry Ringstad tell the judge that Michele Donohue needs to spend more time in prison because of the heinous murder.

Family Portrait

Byron Wright him away.

“The uncle that was once at every event in my life suddenly stopped after he met this woman,” Wheeler says.

Ringstad said there were always excuses for not getting together. He and Wright would see each other in the parking lot at Boeing, but that was it.

“We had said we would get together soon — we never did — now I know why,” he says in court papers.

The murder In the heat of an argument, Donohue stabbed Wright multiple times in the head and neck. Despite his pleas she let him bleed to death. With an axe and knife she cut him up in her

kitchen. She then buried the dismembered body under 36 yards of dirt, saying she wanted to create a “hill for her daughter to sled on when it snowed.”

She divorced Wright in absentia and received almost everything he owned.

She got married in 2005 to Joel Donohue and told him about the killing, saying Wright was abusive. The new husband was worried about the body’s location so he recruited two friends to help relocate the body, re-bury it and cover it with concrete so a “ground penetrating radar” couldn’t detect it. A large “blue tote” filled with concrete concealed Wright’s torso and head, with two smaller bags containing his arms and legs.

Realizing he’s gone The family started to realize Wright was missing a few years later. Diehl tried to contact Wright, but Donohue called back.

Donohue told her Wright had run off with a young, red-headed woman who had money.

The family said it was skeptical of the story.

“After I heard Michele’s outrageous story that Byron had run off with a young, red-headed gal, stat-

ing he left his passion job at Boeing, I didn’t believe it,” Linda Wright Kezele, Wright’s cousin, says in court papers.

Kezele says he loved his job as a mechanic, wouldn’t leave his money behind, or his cars, or the large shop he built.

Norman also didn’t believe it.

“As much as he loved to race and collect cars, I never believed that he would leave them all behind,” Norman says.

The family tried to file a missing person’s report with law enforcement in Arlington, but were told sometimes grown men disappear, court papers say.

Diehl says she was told “unless I have proof of foul play there was nothing they could do.”

The family even set up a Facebook page, using social media in an effort to find Wright.

“Years went by and no evidence of Byron surfaced anywhere. It was heartbreaking,” Kezele says.

Finding out the truth The break in the case came when Michael Huselein, one of the friends who helped re-bury Wright’s dismembered remains, unwittingly told a jail informant

in December 2013 about the killing.

There was some concern between the two that Michele might tell police about illegal activity going on at the home because she was upset that new husband Joel Donohue had a pregnant girlfriend living there.

Huselein told the informant not to worry because they had something on Michele she had killed her previous husband. Police wired the informant, and they got that information on tape.

Police issued a search warrant for Donohue’s property on Feb. 13, 2014.

Police broke apart the concrete at 8121 Wade Road and found Wright’s remains.

Donohue caught Donohue was arrested Feb. 13 when Wright’s body pieces were dug up. She was held on $1 million bail because of the “cold and calculating behavior after the offense, the years of hiding evidence, recruiting others to assist in the covering up the murder of Wright, and her recent discussion about needing her current husband to disappear and possibly be murdered,” court papers say.

Donohue pleaded guilty to second-degree murder July 11. Prosecutor Cindy Larson said there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Donohue of first-degree murder — that would require premeditation.

Extra prison time When the family learned what happened, it wanted extra prison time for Donohue.

“I feel Michele got to play and live the high life for free for ten years on Byron’s hard-earned life savings. He should have been planning his retirement right now.

After he was brutally murdered, I feel she deserves to live in a prison cell until she is really old,” O’Malley says.

Wheeler says: “Because of her, he was not part of

the important milestones in my life: graduating high school and college, my wedding, the death of my father, and the birth of my son. I miss my Uncle By every day and cannot imagine what he went through because of her.”

Norman says the murder was pre-meditated because Donohue waited until her daughter, Heather Wagonblast, who had been living with the couple, was vacationing in Europe before killing Wright.

Ringstad said Donohue deserved a stiffer sentence because she showed no remorse, was a “very evil person” and that she would do it again if she had the opportunity.

She “lied and deceived the court system in order to acquire all of his possessions,” Ringstad says. “Shelly not only took his life, but everything he worked hard for.”

Diehl says her brother’s property has been completely destroyed by Donohue, her new husband and his friends. There are reports of a chop shop and drug use there. Donohue also sold much of Wright’s car collection on Craigslist.

“Michele lied to everyone,” Diehl says.

Some family members are having recurring nightmares. “My youngest dreamed on the night of her wedding (three years ago) that Uncle Byron came to the wedding,” Diehl says.

Laurie Wright, Wright’s sister-in-law, in court papers says: “The scene keeps replaying itself in a neverending loop in my mind. I can only imagine the shock and terror Byron must have been feeling. I can hear him pleading desperately, knowing that he would bleed to death if someone didn’t come to help.”

Laurie cited Donohue’s “cruel, calculated, twisted determination” to kill Wright for money. As a nurse, Laurie says she understands Wright’s demise.

MURDER FROM Page 11 “I know he would have felt himself become colder

and more and more thirsty as the seconds and minutes ticked by … until he finally succumbed alone, afraid, in disbelief at what had occurred.”

She asked the judge for an extended sentence so that Donohue could never hurt anyone else.

“Apparently she has become indifferent or numb to the pain and suffering that other people feel from her actions and has an utter disregard for the value of another human life.”

Sentencing Snohomish County Superior Court Judge George Bowden’s sentence is more than the 15 years

Superior Court Judge George Bowden sentenced Donohue to 16 years in prison. agreed to in a plea deal, but less than the maximum of 18 years. Bowden said

he did that to make sure Donohue would get the maximum three years of supervision once she gets

1079470

out of the women’s prison in Purdy.

Bowden explained he could only sentence according to the agreed upon guilty plea of second-degree murder. He said he’s not sure if the state could have proved pre-meditation.

“She needs the maximum time regardless,” Bowden said. “She needs to be locked up.”

The judge sentenced her to 192 months. The plea deal was for 180.

“One more year is scant solace for the family of the victim,” Bowden admitted.

He gave Donohue credit for pleading guilty, accepting responsibility, not having any prior criminal record and not putting Wright’s family through a trial.

But he added it was “distressing” that Donohue allowed Wright to bleed out.

He said it “concerned him greatly” that she kept the killing secret for almost 10 years, and that she put great effort into the disposing of the body.

Donohue apologized to Wright’s family, saying she was “so very sorry” for taking his life. She talked quietly, saying there was nothing she could do to ease their pain, in between sniffles. “I did not plan this.”

Donohue said counseling has helped her realize Wright’s death could have been prevented. She said by learning to deal with her anger she could have dealt with marital problems.

Ringstad spoke about what a nice man Wright was. “He was simple. He treated everybody fair. I never heard him say a sour word to anybody,” he said.

Wright’s sister, Diehl, spoke on behalf of the family. She said they loved Wright: he was “kind, funny, loving.” Diehl said Donohue manipulated not only Wright but the entire family, and included the court system, too. She said the family can’t understand how Donohue couldn’t get more prison time for this “horrific thing.”

“Think of what you did and how many lives you changed,” Diehl said to Donohue.

Karen S. Christensen (1948 – 2014)

K a r e n Christensen, 65, of Edmonds, passed away peacefully du r ing t he early morning hours of Saturday, June 28, 2014, in a house full of love and with her family by her side. Her love for life, her sense of humor, and her hopeful optimism inspired everyone around her. She lived each and every day to its fullest.

Boy, 9, gets honor for calling 9-1-1 about ‘suspicious’ adults

By STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Noah Allen, 9, didn’t look intimidated at all, even though he was surrounded by six uniformed Marysville police officers. “The officers have your back, just like you had ours,” Police Chief Rick Smith said July 28 at the City Council meeting.

Noah went to the podium to receive a Good Citizen Award.

Smith said Noah also would be adopted as a Junior Officer of the Year. Noah was being honored for “stepping up” and calling police when he saw two suspicious adults in his neighborhood. He had learned that was what he was supposed to do during a Block

Watch presentation.

“It showed courage,” Smith said.

“I don’t know at 9 if I was bold enough to do that.”

The chief said many adults don’t do the right thing in that situation, and that they could learn a thing or two from Noah. As a result of Noah’s actions, one of the pair was arrested for suspicion of a controlled substance.

Also at the City Council meeting, Eric and Patricia Schoonmaker were honored as Volunteers of the Month.

The couple, who own Trusty Threads on 3rd Street, received kudos for starting the new city festival called Rodz on 3rd, now in its third year. They also were

praised for their involvement in Homegrown, the August festival that features music, a food court and a broad group of vendors.

They are also heavily involved in the Strawberry Noah Allen Festival fashion show, helping with prom dresses and the Flashback to the 1950s and ‘60s. Eric, a state trooper, and Patricia, a fashion designer, have owned their store for five years.

“There’s only so much government can do” for downtown revitalization, Mayor Jon Nehring

said. “It’s up to businesses, too. I know they believe they get what they put into it.”

In other council news: • Judge Laurie Towers received her five-year service award.

• Chief Administrative Officer Gloria Hirashima talked about jail expansion. It’s getting tougher to get prisoners into the packed Snohomish County Jail, Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said. Cost for the consultant would be $89,500.

Hirashima also talked about possible bee regulations.

• Kevin Nielsen, public works director, talked about the possible use of condemnation to get land to expand State from three to five lanes. That would include taking

a strip of about 13 feet of land from each of six parcels. The land in question is from 116th Street to 136 Street NE. It also includes Burlington Northern Sante Fe property. The work would include curbs, gutters and sidewalks.

• Planning retrofit at Waste Water Treatment Plant Office Building for $375,672.

• The council also named: Steven Edin to the Salary Commission; Cheryl Deckard to the Library Board; Jennifer Caveny, Carol Kapua, Mary Kirkland and Charles Lee to the Hotel/Motel board; and reappointments to the Planning Commission to Katherine Smith and Roger Hoen.

Dry & CustomSplit Alder, Maple & Douglas Fir Speedy Delivery & Best Prices!

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Ex-police chief now with county

Blueberry Festival draws record crowd

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER

kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — The Bryant Blueberry Farm’s sixth annual festival returned to its fields July 26, drawing a thousand attendees from throughout the western side of the state and beyond.

“We had a few more show up than last year,” farm owner Jamie Flint said.

“Our crowds have been growing every year.”

While the farm’s pony

rides, face-painting and balloon animals all proved popular, the biggest draw were the blueberries themselves, which visitors picked by the literal bucketful.

“We’ve had a really heavy crop this year,” Flint said. “A mild spring gave us a terrific bloom and a great foundation for a plentiful crop.”

Flint also credited the area’s peat bog with providing ideal grounds for the berries.

“That’s why our berries are a lot bigger than nor-

mal,” Flint said. “Peat is the natural environment for blueberries, so you don’t have to amend the soil.”

Indeed, this year’s crop produced so many berries that Flint is eager to see people return for the summer weekends to come.

“We’ve still got lots of berries on our bushes,” Flint said. “They look like they’ve hardly been picked at all.”

The farm’s “you-pick” blueberries are $2.50 per pound, and are available for picking through late

Flint encouraged people to stop by the 15 other area farms on the Red Rooster Route.

Those who visit at least 10 farms become eligible to win its “Road Rally,” which offers a grand prize of a one-night stay for two at the LaConner Country Inn, including dinner for two at the inn’s Oyster Thistle Restaurant & Pub. For more information, log onto www.redroosterroute.com.

The embattled former police chief in Arlington has accepted a new position as the bureau chief of the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office.

Nelson Beazley started working with Ty Trendary’s sheriff ’s office July 28.

Beazley will serve as the Sheriff ’s Office Bureau Chief of Operations, which includes patrol services for all precincts and contract cities.

Prior to his stint in Arlington, Beazley worked for 32 years with the Fresno County Sheriff ’s Department in California.

He started his career in patrol, and served as a field training officer, search and rescue team member, and worked in the Boating Enforcement Unit and ViceIntelligence Unit. Beazley also served as supervisor for patrol area property crimes, the training and crime prevention units, as well as watch commander, patrol area commander, com-

munity and youth services commander, and emergency services commander.

When he was promoted to captain, he oversaw the detective bureau and operations support bureau.

After retiring from FCSD, Beazley and his wife moved to Snohomish County to be closer to family in the Seattle area.

However, as Arlington police chief he ran into problems. He resigned suddenly May 20, and no explanation was given.

But a report done by the Matrix Consultant Group said there were prevalent problems with the police department under Beazley, including management, administration and communication. About 70 percent of the department’s 29 officers said they were dissatisfied with their jobs, citing lack of training and low morale.

Former Arlington Fire Chief Bruce Stedman has been promoted to Public Safety Director in an effort to clear up problems in the police department.
