Summer months bring swimming, boating and other fun water activities, but police and fire fighters are reminding citizens to be careful. Rivers are especially hazardous. On Sunday, 33-year-old James C. Bryant of Federal Way drowned while rafting on the Skykomish River. But mindfulness is important on all bodies of water, rescuers say. “People overestimate their abilities and underestimate their surroundings,” said Kim Schroeder, a safety education specialist with Snohomish County Fire District 1. Although air temperatures are rising, surrounding waters are still startlingly cold. Everett already has seen an 85-degree day, on May 1, but water temperatures remain in the low- to mid-50s, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “The air temperature is warm and you may be hot and sweaty on the beach, but the water 12 hours ago was snow,” said

EVERETT — Paula HincapieGuerra wanted to learn English so she could get a good job and have a good life. In her native Colombia, she’d worked as a flight attendant. Hincapie-Guerra, 29, was studying English at Everett Community College. She made friends easily there, inviting others to lunch or to go shopping. She and her husband, Hector Moreno, a 41-year-old Boeing worker, were killed in a small-plane crash in Nevada
over Memorial Day Weekend 2011. They’d lived in south Everett. On Tuesday, about a dozen friends from EvCC and English instructor John Bruemmer gathered for a memorial on campus. They set up vases of irises and daisies next to a small maple tree that was planted in HincapieGuerra’s memory. The maple tree is in the college’s Legacy garden, alongside other memorials.
