TULALIP — Beavers are natural engineers, but can be a nuisance if they’re residing in residential or city areas.

This was the case for “Beatrix” a name given to a female North American beaver by the students at Brookeside Elementary, who was flooding the school’s play field with her dams.

Beaver dams are actually beneficial for the environment, creating freshwater storage from the ponds they form.

“Without beaver dams, salmon don’t have a future,” supervisor of northwest wildlife Ben Dittbrenner said. “They will make a dam and a pond forms behind it which creates a habitat in itself.”

Those wetlands are beneficial for ungulates like moose and elk, and aquatic

mammals such as otters and muskrats. They are the base of the food chain, Dittbrenner added.

But beavers can become a problem when their dam construction damages property.

With the school wanting no more flooding, and the city wanting to construct over the stream, it was Beatrix’s time to go.

Some trappers were hired to try and remove Beatrix but could potentially kill her.

But Beatrix was in luck because the “Beaver Bill” and the agreement of the Tulalip Tribes meant that there are government regulations on who can handle and relocate beavers.

“We thought this was a perfect time to relocate this animal and get her to a better place,” Dittbrenner said.

She was finally captured SEE DAM, PAGE 2

Arlington chamber needs funds for website ARLINGTON — The ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce is looking to connect its members to new business opportunities online, but it needs some help.

Chamber board member Dan Bliven admitted the organization has needed a new website for a while, but couldn’t afford it. To that end, the chamber has started a GoFundMe online fundraiser to generate the $3,900 that a new website would cost.

Bliven explained that this price tag allows the chamber to pay ChamberMaster, an organization that specializes in designing websites for chambers, to tailor a new site to fit this chamber’s specific needs.

“Their websites come complete with

all the tools we would need to set up events, update our calendar and accept credit card payments. Our current site is pretty basic, and not very functional or user-friendly,” Bliven said.

The existing site will be scrubbed, leaving a new site with backdoors built in for the chamber’s administration to change its content as easily as possible.

“We want chamber members to get the maximum value out of this site, since websites are one of the most powerful tools that can drive business in the modern age,” Bliven said.

In addition to listing its member businesses by their categories of service, the chamber’s new site will be compatible with mobile devices.

“You can’t really read our newsletter

on a cell phone or an iPad right now,” Bliven said. “Our site will also be linked with other social media sites, to help grow and support not only our local businesses’ services and products, but everything else the community has to offer.”

Some benefits include: • An easy-to-use directory.

• “Hot Deals” to promote businesses.

• Business profiles, that can be updated by the businesses themselves.

• Job postings.

• Quick links, making it easier for consumers to find types of business.

• And an interactive map, to direct consumers to businesses.

M’ville Kiwanis Club plans to celebrate 100th anniversary MARYSVILLE – The Marysville Kiwanis will have an open house and dessert social to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis International from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, at Rotary Ranch in Jennings Park, 6915 Armar Road.

“We wanted to do something special to mark the 100th anniversary,” club president Walt McKinney said. Kiwanis began in 1915 as a single club in Detroit.

It has grown to include

600,000 adult and youth members in 80 countries, and dedicated more than 18 million service hours annually to communities.

Since its charter in 1956, the Marysville club has provided charitable service to the city, focusing on promoting family values, supporting the community and youth services.

Participation includes All City Food Drive and community food bank assistance, the annual Youth

Fishing Derby, Father Daughter Valentines Dance, Easter Egg Hunt, Popcorn in the Park movie series, Touch A Truck and the Merrysville for the Holidays Winter Festival. Kiwanis provides pancake breakfasts for the “Cruizn for a Cure” American Cancer Society Relay For Life team and the Oyster Run ride at Sound Harley-Davidson.

The club also participated in the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program. In April,

members join together for Kiwanis One Day, hands-on community service.

The club also has: college scholarships for students, scholarships for low-income youths to participate in the Marysville Parks and Recreation’s Youth Basketball program and an active Key Club at Marysville Getchell High School.

For details, go to snohomishkiwanis.org/Marysville.

DAM FROM Page 2 in July until Aug. 6 she was released into the Skyhomish River.

“First thing we do is wrangle the beavers, this should be a relatively easy process,” Dittbrenner said.

Before Beatrix was captured, it was revealed that she was a single beaver through wildlife surveillance. Cameras were set up around her beaver lodge to monitor before capture.

Though Beatrix is without a mate, she is a highly social animal and should be able to pair with a beaver at her new location.

“They’re just so happy to see another beaver, and take to each other really well,” assistant wildlife supervisor Molly Alves said.

Beatrix was captured by using beaver lure to coax her out of the lodge at the elementary school. The lure was placed on some harmless traps.

Beavers will instinctively run into dark confined areas, so a large bag called a “beaver bag” was placed in front of the trap.

“As soon as it gets dark they calm way down,” Dittbrenner said. “They’re

not stressed out, and we can work with them.”

Beatrix was kept in an old salmon raceway in a hatchery in Tulalip where she was fed rat food, which has a variety of nutrients that she would eat in the wild.

She was also given wood; beavers eat the cambium a layer beneath the bark.

They will then use some of the shredding to make their nest.

At her temporary home, she made her lodge. As she was removed, they took some parts of her lodge to her relocation site for the smell.

Before sending beavers off to the river, they are weighed before and after their release to ensure they are healthy.

Beatrix maintained an ideal weight of 20.60 pounds.

“Seeing what they do when we relocate them is the most gratifying feeling,” Alves said.

On the day Beatrix was removed, her containment area was sanitized for other beavers to be relocated.

“The last thing we want to do is give a beaver a disease and put them back into the environment,” Dittbrenner said.

Teens can learn work skills on job this week

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — Snohomish County has identified the need to bolster its industrial ranks, and Arlington will serve as a site to get area teens involved.

Workforce Snohomish is partnering with the Snohomish County Labor Council and other organizations to connect 16- to 18-year-olds with a dozen local agencies in the construction and advanced manufacturing fields.

The Arlington Municipal Airport offices at 18204 59th Dr.

NE will host the free “Constructing Futures” program from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 17-20 to provide young people with hands-on opportunities to test-drive different types of construction and manufacturing jobs.

Exhibitors will teach transferable skills to youths in real-life work environments such as driving a truck or using an engineering simulator.

Stanwood Mayor Leonard Kelley, who serves as secretary/ treasurer of the labor council, met with Erin Monroe, executive

director of Workforce Snohomish, earlier this year about connecting teens who are entering the workforce with union skills training programs and personnel who are willing to share their knowledge.

“The idea came from bits and pieces I’d heard all over, from the state legislature to Economic Alliance of Snohomish County,” Kelley said. “As our county grows, so too does the demand for these types of jobs. Especially since college is not for everybody, we need to show kids how they can live a decent life working in the trades.”

Kelley explained that the program’s goal is to recruit 40 students, who will then be split into groups of eight, and rotated through a variety of job fields.

Monroe added that the program will cover the soft skills of employment, such as time-keeping and work policies, as well as safety procedures, continued education and apprenticeship programs.

“These are the sorts of skills that we hear from employers all the time that they need more of from their new employees,” Monroe said. “It also gives the kids

a chance to try out a wide range of possibilities, to see which ones might be for them.”

Those between the ages of 16 and 18 can register online at www.workforcesnohomish.org/ advance/cfutures, and will receive certificates of completion after taking part in all four days.

Anyone interested in helping or donating to this or future programs should contact Workforce Snohomish by phone at 425-9213442 or online at www.workforcesnohomish.org/company/ staff.

Early Learning Academy to boost Tulalip education

BY BRANDON ADAM badam@arlingtontimes.com

Brandon Adam/Staff Photo

Eli Henderson, 6, learns at a computer at the new Early Learning Academy at Tulalip.

TULALIP — After 12 years of planning, the Tulalip Tribes have finally opened their doors to the Betty J. Taylor Early Learning Academy.

Taylor, whom the academy was named after, was a Tulalip Elementary School teacher for 33 years. She is revered by the Tulalip Tribes for her passion in educating young children.

The academy is divided into two atriums, with one for newborns to 3-year-olds which can fit 120, and the other for preschoolers which can fit 200, complete with a playground in the middle.

The academy will use the Creative Curriculum to prepare kids for kindergarten, director Sheryl Fryberg said.

“Our dream is that our kids reach kindergarten with the self confidence to be successful in the K-12 system with a strong cultural and academic foundation,” Fryberg said.

Children will learn reading, math and other topics in order to get a head start in learning. Right now they have 80 people

on staff with 10 more positions to fill. Every classroom has a specified topic, with a teacher with an early childhood certificate or degree.

The preschool teachers will work with kindergarten teachers so they know about the kids entering the K-12 program.

It’s been an arduous road because of questions on where to get finances and property for the academy, but Fryberg was pleased the establishment was opened Aug. 7 at 7730 36th Ave NW in Tulalip.

The project cost $18.8 million. But the General council had agreed to put money into it, Fryberg said.

“Our babies are worth it,” she said.

Parents were just as pleased with the opening. Darcy Enick who was excited for her child, King, to start there.

“I’m excited he is going to be here for a while,” Enick said. “He will be able to become familiar with the staff.”

Another parent, Alicia Pacheco was excited for the new space for her two kids to go.

“It will be nice to see them take on more kids,” she said. “I think it will also be a great opportunity to make more jobs in the community.”

Single dad with 3 kids brings ABC Learning Center to M’ville

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Abbas Alnahi was a single dad to three kids when he decided that he could provide childcare as good as anything he would have had to pay for.

That was five years ago, and Alnahi’s ABC Learning Center chain has since expanded from Lynnwood and Mukilteo to open a branch in Marysville Aug. 8.

“I’m not the type of owner who just comes in once a month,” Alnahi said. “If you come in, you’ll see me playing with the kids.”

Alnahi’s previous background was in business and engineering, which led to him working in finance before he began working with the state Department

of Early Learning to complete all their requirements.

“It wasn’t easy at first, but it was definitely fun and interesting,” Alnahi said. “Most of it was focusing on the Washington Administrative Code and child development.”

The childcare, preschool and pre-kindergarten learning center is starting out with only three other employees in Marysville, but Alnahi hopes to expand it to as many as 25 soon, based on growth patterns at the other two branches, both of which are at capacity with 35 employees.

“Getting the right people in the right place is the most important thing,” Alnahi said.

“I meet with these people for their interviews because

I want to see their compassion before I hire them.

I don’t want them to be doing this just for a paycheck. I want them to enjoy what they’ll be doing here because that helps them create a great environment for kids to grow, learn and be safe.”

All of Alnahi’s employees are certified teachers.

Many of them hold college degrees and have been teaching preschool for years.

Alnahi is trying to cover as much of Snohomish County with his chain as he can.

He praised Marysville as a welcoming and “booming” business-friendly city, and pledged to do what he could to make a positive difference in the community.

Abbas Alhahi shows off ABC’s preschool area.

“Our ultimate goal is to make sure these kids are more than ready for kindergarten,” Alnahi said. “We want them to learn and get comfortable with the basic school routine, and to give them a foundation for scho-

lastic success for the rest of their lives.”

At the start of each school year, the learning centers visit local schools, to collect kindergarten readiness checklists from their teachers — one for academic

readiness, and one for social readiness.

“This allows us to build our curriculum around the specific needs of the children in our care, and around the communities we serve,” Alnahi said. “We integrate emergent curricula, that allow input on their themes and length of them. This has been proven to add interest and commitment from children and teachers alike.

“Of course, if the interest level is high, so is the learning.”

The ABC Learning Center is open from 5 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays though Fridays, and is in Suite A at 9315 State Ave. in Marysville.

THE ARLINGTON TIMES.THE MARYSVILLE GLOBE

Our online photos tell more of story If a picture is worth a thousand words, then The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times are covering our communities better than any other media.

We take pride in our photography, along with our award-winning stories. So, after many of the events we cover, we put slide shows on our websites as soon as possible – often days before the newspapers are even delivered. We are often able to provide our readers longer, more in-depth stores on our websites – and certainly Brown m o r e photographs. Why? Because our websites have virtually unlimited space!

In the past week, we published six online slide shows: The Stillaguamish Festival of the River, the busy weekend of events, the two-alarm fire in Smokey Point, the National Night Out Against Crime, the Qwuloot Project and a woman who makes lifelike dolls. Almost 200 people checked out the fire photographs alone. In total, almost 600 people viewed the six slide shows.

A great many of our news stories are getting more views online with the slide shows that accompany the articles. In just the past year, 35 of our slide shows were viewed by more than 100 people each. The top story with a slide show was 929 views. This particular article and slide show depicted the red-ribbon event

showing the community’s support after the tragic Marysville-Pilchuck High School shootings. The nexthighest recorded views was 417, the opening of the new Angel of the Winds hotel.

Then came the vigil after the M-P shooting with 409 views. The shooting itself drew 380 views followed by Nate Hatch’s return home with 304 views. Sixth was the Stillaguamish Center opening with 259, followed by the Confederate flag funeral at 223. Christmas lights were next with 205 views and Marysville code enforcement officer came in ninth place at 203. The Arlington fire story came in 10th with 194 views.

Putting together slide shows is fun for us because there are so many great shots that we can’t get in the printed paper. More photos not only tell more of the story, but they also can be fun for those in the photos to email to relatives who live out of the area.

We would like to encourage you and your family to check out our wonderful pics of local athletic events and the athletes. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see these amazing sports slide shows, we encourage you to check them out.

Possibly you weren’t aware that the slide show feature on our websites was available. We hope you’ll take a few moments and visit www.marysvilleglobe. com and www.arlingtontimes.com soon. We know you won’t be disappointed.

ity. In the past seven months, they’ve made 306 arrests – 166 of which have come in Marysville. Since January 2015, they’ve also served 43 search warrants that resulted in charges for 305 crimes and recovered 93 items of stolen property worth more than $310,000.

Later this month, we’ll begin work on the Ebey Waterfront Trail, which will open up recreation opportunities available in our downtown waterfront. In conjunction with the Tulalip Tribes Qwuloot restoration project, we’ll add more than 1.8 miles of new trail and connect two popular parks – Ebey Waterfront Park and Harborview park. Residents and visitors will enjoy new interpretive signs, birdwatching and the chance to explore new non-motorized boating and paddling opportunities in an area that hasn’t been accessible for more than 100 years.

Local businesses are also thriving in downtown and throughout the city. We’re excited to welcome Coastal Community Bank and MOD Pizza to a great location in their new facility at the corner of Fourth and State. Our Marysville Mall is once again fully occupied with the addition of Play It Again Sports, and we’ve been proud to cut the ribbons on several new local businesses around town. We’re also thrilled to finally enjoy our own Farmers Market, thanks to the great work of Allen Creek Community Church.

Only 15 percent of the population chose the candidates for county executive: about 8 percent chose Dave Somers and 7 percent chose John Lovick. That is a pitiful number of voters.

We live in a country founded on the principles of a representative republic in which it was thought that the electorate would always be involved in the way their government worked as well as who would represent them in that government from the local to the national level.

And, the first thing a voter gets to decide among the candidates running, who will even be on the ballot in the general election.

It is with that first decision that everything else takes a distant second, third or last place, so wouldn’t that be the mostimportant decision?

Well, apparently not.

Only about 61,000 out of a possible 420,529 voters actually took that decision to heart and cast a ballot for who they wanted on the ballot for the general election.

Do you feel comfortable with such a small number of people deciding the “first decision” for you?

It is certainly not the result of a truly “representative republic.”

Most citizens will have nothing to complain about since they have largely abdicated their responsibility as a citizen.

Besides running for office yourself, voting is the one thing you can do to participate in your government and the people entrusted to run it for you.

So, please vote.

Marysville so busy this summer with roads, recreation, more It’s been a busy summer for us at the city. Not only have we put on some amazing outdoor movies and concerts, we’ve celebrated health and wellness with our new Free Fit Saturday workouts and promoted community safety with our annual National Night Out event.

But that’s not all. We’ve put in a lot of effort around town to make your roads smoother, your community center more modern, your homes and businesses safer, your recreation opportunities more diverse and your local business options more robust.

If you’ve driven around town this summer, you’ve probably seen one of our many road-improvement projects. In addition to our major widening project on State Avenue north of 116th, we’ve repaved many streets around the city.

Thanks to more than $1.3 million from the Transportation Benefit District, we’ve been able to repair and resurface 10,000 feet of Sunnyside Boulevard east of 47th Avenue NE, about 3,700 feet of 60th Drive NE between Grove and 88th streets, and 2,500 feet of 100th Street NE between State and 51st avenues. This work comes in addition to several resurfacing projects we completed last summer and fall.

We also received federal grant funding to repair and repave 67th Avenue NE between 88th and 108th streets. Parkside Manor residents this summer also got new, wider shoulders and a repaired and repaved neighborhood thanks to city funds.

Many of you who’ve visited the Spray Park this summer may also have noticed improvements to our Ken Baxter Community Center. In addition to new fencing along the State Avenue side of the Spray Park, we spruced up the front of the center with a new concrete plaza and benches and beautiful hanging baskets. Inside, we have new flooring and car p eting, new appliances for our kitchen, Nehring new lighting and fresh paint on our walls.

If you haven’t stopped in to check out the upgraded facility, it’s well worth the time. The Baxter Center is a wonderful location featuring many great events for our seniors and others, while also being a great place for family reunions, private parties or community gatherings.

Our police continue to partner with local businesses and residents to make our community a safer place to live, work and play. By proactively addressing problem areas, such as the downtown core and Lakewood Crossing shopping area, we’ve greatly reduced criminal activity. Our Regional Property Crimes Unit, made up of Marysville and Lake Stevens police and Snohomish County sheriff ’s deputies, has been a major part of our success.

Their focus is on identifying key offenders who engage in property crimes around our region and putting an end to their criminal activ-

the Marysville library, said he could not comment on his wish list.

The tax-supported library district serves nearly 700,000 residents in Snohomish and Island counties and has 21 libraries. As part of the planning process, people in each community will be invited this fall to say whether and how their library building should change.

“About a third of our

libraries are undersized for their service areas,” said Jeanne Crisp, director of facilities. New buildings are needed in some cities, while others need remodels or additions and others are so new they don’t need anything done, she added.

Population growth in formerly rural areas may warrant construction of new libraries, Crisp said.

New M’ville Coastal bank all about community kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE — Erin Reynolds had been working for Coastal Community Bank for only a couple of weeks when the Oso slide hit last year.

Reynolds had been hired to serve as manager for the planned Marysville branch of the bank, which finally opened this month. But the aftermath of a tragedy that hit close to home taught her how her employers take community involvement seriously.

“I live in Darrington, and they paid me to volunteer for the relief efforts for three weeks,” Reynolds said. “We were cooking meals, bringing in supplies and writing off loans. Julie [Kuntz], our marketing coordinator, lost her home and her aunt in the slide.”

Reynolds sees this local focus as Coastal’s strongestselling point, especially now

that it can serve Marysville in town, rather than at its Everett or Smokey Point branches.

“I worked at those two branches before we opened our doors here, and I’ve already seen quite a few of the same customers,” Reynolds said. “We offer checking and savings accounts, just like anyone else, but we don’t have an 800-number. If you’re overdrawn, or you bounce a check, it’s going to be me or one of the other folks at this office who will call you.”

The staff at Marysville includes relationship manager and commercial lender Jan Buckner, assistant manager Whitney Warner and customer service representative Michelle Wetzel.

Reynolds explained the Marysville branch has the capacity for nine employees, but expected it would only add one a year at the most, if business is brimming.

BRIEFS Bank robber gets 9 years EVERETT – Ben McClean of Texas was sentenced to nine years in prison Aug. 10 for robbing a Marysville bank in March.

Court records say McClean brought two guns from Houston because he figured he would lose his life savings gambling and would need to rob a bank.

He followed through after losing $8,000 in casinos.

The day before McClean scouted out the bank.

The next day he walked in and pointed the weapon at a teller.

He demanded cash and told her she had 20 seconds or the people in the bank were going to die.

Another bank employee called 911.

McClean noticed and pointed the gun at her, ordering her to hang up.

He ran out of the bank with $7,000.

A police dog found him in bushes about 200 feet away.

He pleaded guilty last month to first-degree robbery with a firearm and second-degree assault.

Hatch accused of poaching, possible illegal trafficking harmed those resources over time, he added.

People who harvest, buy and sell wild-caught fish and shellfish are required to carefully document each step — and those records are inspected.

The case helped investigators better understand the ways people are bypassing regulated harvest and sales, Cenci said. “I think it was important to be able to demonstrate that we could look through the layers of deceit and catch them.�

More suspects might face charges and other legal consequences. For example, a truck was seized last week from a man accused of buying and selling illegally harvested shellfish.

The state office has more resources and the investigation spans several jurisdictions, Cavagnaro said.

Fish and Wildlife officials worked with the Tulalip Police Department during the investigation. Tribal officials confirmed their police department helped secure search warrants for the arrests.

During parts of the investigation state game wardens were accompanied by TV crews from Animal Planet, shooting episodes for “Rugged Justice,� a program about wildlife enforcement.

TULALIP — Joe Hatch was supposed to be managing the shellfish he’s now accused of poaching.

The former co-director of the Tulalip Tribes fisheries and wildlife division is facing criminal charges for allegedly trafficking in crab and shrimp.

Hatch, 51, resigned his tribal post July 29, five days after his arrest.

A former tribal official, he is part of a larger investigation by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife and the tribes into the illegal sale of shellfish.

His son, Joseph Hatch Jr., 25, also was arrested. Illegal trafficking in shellfish can be a felony under state law.

The Tulalip Tribes have charged both Joe Hatch Sr. and Jr. with 13 counts of fishing in closed waters. “Those who fail to abide

by Tulalip fisheries laws will be held accountable, regardless of the position they may hold with the Tribes,� tribal officials said in a statement Tuesday. “These alleged crimes are the actions of an individual and the case is currently going through our

reportedly documented the first clandestine sale in April. They didn’t move in for an arrest out of desire to identify the extent of the illegal seafood market, including others involved in distribution and sales. “We have an illicit marketplace that really encourages poaching,� said Deputy Chief Mike Cenci, who oversees marine enforcement for the Fish and Wildlife Department. Hatch allegedly sold crab and shrimp well below the price charged for legitimately harvested shellfish, undercutting those who follow the rules, Cenci said.

The tribal prosecution is in addition to any state charges the father and son may face.

The state fish and wildlife investigators’ statement, filed when the Hatches were arrested, makes clear that officials in late March had reason to suspect the father and son were engaged in illegal fishing. They were reportedly observed on their boat fishing during a closed season, with 30 Dungeness crab aboard.

Surveillance began after a tip that the pair was trafficking in illegally harvested shellfish, primarily shrimp and crab. Investigators

Tom Albright’s “daughter” is all smiles after graduating from the University of Kenya. Africa is an amazing place for Albright to practice is hobby, wildlife and nature photography.

Albright takes burden off people to give

BY STEVE POWELL spowell@marysvilleglobe.com

MARYSVILLE – Tom Albright knows it makes people feel good to give.

He’s seen it firsthand as the Marysville School Board president after the Marysville-Pilchuck High School shooting last year.

He saw it as the chaplain first at the shelter after the Oso landslide last year. And as a pastor at the United Methodist Church in Marysville from 2000-2011 he saw it week after week.

People like it when they can help others, especially if the others are in need.

He’s adopted this motto, “I relieve people of the need to give.”

He said that’s his favorite part about being in charge of fund-raising in the United States for the University of Kenya in Nairobi, Africa. He has helped raise $110,000 already this year, helping 45 students pursue their dreams.

Albright, who turned 69 Aug. 10, said the scholarships pay 80 percent of the tuition. Students can get a bachelor’s degree for only $6,000 and become doctors for just $16,000 because of low prices there. There are 9,000 students on the six campuses with more than 3,200 graduates a year. The college’s beautiful administration building cost just $1 million 15 years ago.

Albright said prices were kept down because at 6,000foot elevation the high temperatures are 84 and the

Albright, who was a pastor for 39 years, first went to Kenya in 1986 attending a conference. He stayed a bit longer than planned to help build a church.

Albright met the head of The Methodist Church of Kenya, Lawi Imathui. “He’s the most charismatic man I’ve ever met,” Albright said. “He’s like the Bishop (Desmond) Tutu of Kenya.”

Albright became president of the university’s foundation about 10 years ago. The small nonprofit was only bringing in about $100,000 a year for scholarships. “It was on its last legs,” Albright said.

He said he has enjoyed bringing it to prominence.

“It’s the dream retirement job,” he said. “I get to travel, meet interesting people and make a difference in the world.”

He has helped to make a difference in the lives of

some of the most mistreated people on the globe. Among the impoverished people he’s helped are refugees from Sudan and Rwanda.

The parents of one young man were killed in Sudan, so he’s trying to attend school and take care of his four brothers and sisters.

Albright helped raise money so the man’s youngest sister and brother could stay in an orphanage. Albright said the man was crying on the phone when he called to thank him this week.

He’s developed many other personal relationships in Kenya, but none more important than with Christine Mwaniki Nthamburi. His Marysville church raised the funds to specifically send her to college. He visits her every

time he goes there.

“She’s like a daughter to me,” he said.

About a dozen folks from his Marysville church went to Kenya to watch her graduate. They went to her family’s home afterwards to celebrate.

They are so close when Christine found out she was pregnant, she asked Albright if he would be its grandpa. “It was an easy decision,” he said.

Albright said the University of Kenya is not backwoods at all. It is known for its science and technology, but it also has a medical school and business school.

As the leading fund-raiser in the U.S. for the school, Albright travels to universities such as Duke, North

Carolina and Boston. Along with fund-raising, he also tries to recruit professors if they are interested in doing research in Kenya.

Albright said working with people from another culture is not simple.

“Bridging the gap is challenging,” he said.

He said in America people are all about money and possessions. But in Africa, they are all about relationships.

“Face-to-face relationships,” he said, adding he can accomplish more in one morning over there than he can sending six months of emails. “They find security in relationships.”

He said there is no shame there in asking for help. If you do, that means you are committed to returning the

favor. “The more friends you have the more secure you are that they will back you up,” Albright said.

When he was preaching full-time, he said he used to tell people to find their personal mission in life.

After preaching it so long, he decided he had to do it himself. So he retired five years ago, was appointed to the school board and started fund-raising for the university. There he is called “marete, the one who brings news and gifts.”

Albright said it’s a good thing that “70 is the new 50” because he has signed on to do the fund-raising for two more years. He said he’s never seen people who give regret what they’ve done.

“It’s better to be the giver than the receiver,” he said.

Which is what brought him to the 3-on-3 basketball tournament at the Arlington Airfield Aug. 8.

Rick Smith, 33, traveled with his team from the greater Seattle area. “We’re just out here to have some fun,” he said.

He has participated in Hoopfest in Spokane in the past and heard about 3-on3 through a friend. Smith played basketball for Port Angeles High School years ago but even at 33 he still felt spry enough to play.

“I feel alright,” Smith said.

“I still stay pretty active.”

Marty Shoemaker, 46, of Arlington has been with the tournament for eight years and enjoys getting back into basketball whenever he can.

“I’m just down here with my family,” Shoemaker said.

“It’s good to see participation from the community.”

Low river levels concern Stilly Fest organizers

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

ARLINGTON — After 26 years, the Stillaguamish Festival of the River and Pow Wow packed the grounds of River Meadows County Park as full as ever Aug. 8-9.

However, the Stillaguamish Tribe admitted to concerns about how continued low levels on the river could affect future salmon harvests.

There was no shortage of freshly cooked salmon for festival attendees. Jason Griffith, a fisheries biologist with the tribe, answered festival-goers’ questions, and noted that any possible impact on the salmon, due to current river levels, wouldn’t be felt for a while.

“We are concerned, but we simply don’t have enough information yet, to know how much this will affect fish right now,” Griffith said. He added that such impacts could take as long as six years to make themselves evi-

dent. “We’ll be measuring the smolt levels in the spring, and checking spawning levels, but we’re still in a holding pattern.”

Griffith speculated that predicted cooler and wetter conditions later in August could compensate for the year’s warmer, drier weather to date. “This is all too soon for it to have had much of an impact on the adult and juvenile salmon, but it could affect the coho, chinook and steelhead coming up,” Griffith said. “We’re concerned because low flows and high temperatures will obviously put stresses on the fish, but we don’t have the hard data yet to measure any mortality rates.” In the meantime, the tribe will continue to do what it’s done for 25 years, by supplementing levels of coho, chinook and chum through their hatcheries.

“We make sure they don’t imprint on hatchery waters, so they have a higher rate of survival, to bolster runs of those species in the wild,” Griffith said.

Griffith cited the tribe’s success in stabilizing coho levels, which had previously been unsteady.

“They’re not fully recovered, but they’re a lot better than where they were before,” Griffith said.

For many attendees, the festival was less about ecological concerns and more about recreation and self-expression. Kevin Ricco of Mount Vernon was one of the lumberjacks to take part in the pole-climbing contest, while Vancouver’s Delayne Corbett and Poulsbo’s Charlie Beaulieu collaborated on a towering sand sculpture. Jimmy Kitchens came all the way from Alaska to demonstrate his chainsaw-carving skills, and the annual pow wow drew dancers from as far away as New York, such as Dianne PalmerManheimer, who takes pride in her combination Mohawk-German heritage.

“It’s a very social thing,” said Bob Red Elk, a Sioux Indian who’s lived in and around

Seattle and Bellingham for 20 years, and attended pow wows for just as long. “You get to see people you haven’t seen in a while.

It’s not about fulfilling anyone else’s expectations. We’re just in harmony with each other and can enjoy ourselves.”

Fellow Washington native McHale Mansfield is much younger, but the 21-yearold Yakama Indian has been going to pow wows as far away as Utah since he was 5.

Much of Mansfield’s pow wow regalia comes from his father, who passed away when he was very young, so the younger Mansfield sees it as a way of carrying on traditions. “I love the friendships and family that are part of pow wows,” Mansfield said.

“It gets you more socially involved. When you do pow wows, you have more success in school, and you join more clubs. Those things build on each other. It’s a great way to get rid of fear, because you can’t have performance anxiety when you dance.”

9-1-1 calls delay firefighters

ARLINGTON – There was some delay in getting to a house fire Aug. 7 because all four units from Arlington Fire were on other 911 calls, city spokeswoman Kristin Banfield said.

The crews had to complete those calls before heading to the blaze at 2:48 p.m.

Friday. No one was home at 17700 block of 31st Dr. NE, but three structures

were destroyed with a loss of $350,000. Two cats are missing. The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s office is investigating. In addition to the home, the fire also destroyed a shed, a recreational vehicle and two boats.

The primary focus of the responding crews was to protect adjacent homes.

Crews encountered a leak in the natural gas line that

serviced the home, which fueled the fire for more than one hour and 30 minutes.

After the line was shut off by Puget Sound Energy crews, the fire was extinguished, Banfield said.

Responding were: Alington Fire, Fire District #19, North County Regional Fire Authority, Arlington Rural Fire, Fire District #22 and Marysville Fire District.

MARYSVILLE — The city is asking residents to reduce water usage by 10 percent because of the increased chance for a water shortage.

Ways to reduce water use include letting lawns go dormant and watering plants only twice per week, reducing shower times at home or the gym, and checking indoor and outdoor plumbing for leaks.

“We’re asking people to reduce their use so we can continue to meet the

demand for water throughout the summer and fall,” Marysville Public Works director Kevin Nielsen said.

“It’s equally important that we have enough water in our local streams and rivers to keep our salmon population healthy.”

The city is taking its own steps to conserve water.

Cedarcrest Golf Course has sharply reduced its use, saving up to 50,000 gallons per night by only watering essential turf and landscape areas. The Parks

and Recreation department has shortened Spray Park hours by two hours a day — instead of being open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., the park is now open from noon to 7 p.m. — and has reduced watering at Comeford and Jennings parks by 33 percent.

Everett, Seattle and Tacoma earlier this week asked residents to do the same thing. For details on the Puget Sound drought response plan, go to marysvillewa.gov/drought.

Expert gives tips on how to use social media

BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com

SMOKEY POINT — “We work in an online world every single day,” Matt Cail of Super Charge Marketing told the ArlingtonSmokey Point Chamber of Commerce Aug. 11. “The ways that local and small businesses can take advantage of that are different from larger national businesses.”

During his presentation on “Social Media: Best Practices for Businesses,” Cail pitched Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ as the three best platforms for promoting one’s business online, in that order.

“Your clients are already spending gobs of time on Facebook,” Cail said, noting how many attendees of the luncheon admitted to checking Facebook at work. “You can increase your customer engagement by answering their questions directly and receiving quick feedback.”

Cail conceded that not everyone who visits a company’s social media sites will become a customer, but without those online access channels, none will be.

“Millennials especially have certain expectations,” Cail said. “It used to be, ‘Do you have a website?’ Now, if you offer to connect with you on LinkedIn and you’re not on it, that’s when you cue the judgment.”

Cail also acknowledged not every business will get

“Your clients already are spending gobs of time on Facebook.”

Matt Cail, marketing expert, the best results out of the same social media platforms, since some of his clients get great mileage out of Twitter.

However, in general, if a business is targeting an age range of 20-40 years, he recommends it has Facebook.

“I hear a lot of people say, ‘But my sixteen-year-old isn’t on Facebook anymore,’” Cail said. “To which I’ll respond, ‘Do you know a lot of sixteen-year-olds who are buying or selling houses?’”

Cail advised businesses to choose a Facebook cover image that attracts attention and humanizes its members.

He also urged them to place their contact information near the top of the page, so visitors don’t have to scroll down to see it and to activate the “Contact Us” button.

“Make sure you also link your contact info, a map of your location and your regular website,” Cail said.

Cail deemed Facebook’s paid advertising to be worthwhile, as long as it’s targeted toward the location, interests and other demographics of your clients.

“It cost a home-seller two dollars to boost a post that wound up getting three calls because of it,” Cail said.

Because Facebook rec-

ognizes users’ current locations on their mobile devices, geographically targeted Facebook advertising can also lead customers to your business if they happen to be visiting the area.

Just as Facebook is the most active social media site online, so too is LinkedIn the largest online professional network. “If you Google someone’s name, their LinkedIn profile will be at or near the top of those search results,” Cail said.

This is why it’s especially important that your profile photo look professional, your contacts and resume remain up to date, and your profile summary avoid “keyword stuffing.”

“There are people who load their profile summaries with keywords which will make them turn up on search engine results,” Cail said. “You want your summary to be authentic and about you.”

While it’s essential to have your current phone number, email address and website on LinkedIn, as on your Facebook page, you shouldn’t add contacts on LinkedIn without context.

“I call it the business card test,” Cail said. “If you’ve met in person and gotten close

“It’s better to post one or two times a week... ” enough to exchange business cards, then you can connect with that person.”

LinkedIn also allows you to check who’s been visiting your profile page.

“You might try reaching out to those people,” Cail said. “Nobody stops by your LinkedIn profile without a reason. Just ping them back and say, ‘Hey, I saw you stopped by, so if you have any questions, I’d love to hear back from you.’ I heard back from about one out of every three people I contact that way.”

Although Google+ is far

less used than Facebook, its pages still receive large amounts of display space in Google’s search results.

“And you don’t have to pay anything for it,” Cail said. “It also tells you right up front how many page views you’ve gotten.”

Regardless of whether you post on Facebook or Google+, Cail warned against inconsistent posting, overly aggressive sales posts or political posts of any kind.

“It’s better to post one or two times a week than to post multiple times a day at first, and then hardly ever,” said Cail, who deemed three posts a week ideal. “You want to tell the story of your business and your community. Talk about industry trends. Pass on happy cli-

ent testimonials. But if it’s about a political subject that you wouldn’t talk to a client about in person, don’t post it.”

Strong visual images draw more eyes and “likes” than lots of words, but however many words you do use, make sure they’re correctly spelled and follow proper grammar.

“You can monitor your audience’s response, and track roughly what days and times of day they’re looking at your page,” Cail said.

“Respond to their feedback, and hold yourself accountable to a schedule. Follow the rule of three; whichever three online avenues you’re going to focus on, prioritize those and put the rest aside.”

Marysville mom accused of keeping gun son allegedly stole Howard Wayne Lee

By Eric Stevick

April 24, 1933 — August 8, 2015

MARYSVILLE — A Marysville mom is in hot water after allegedly keeping for herself a militarystyle rifle her teenage son is

Howard Wayne Lee, 82 years of age, of Arlington, Washington passed away August 8, 2015 after dealing with numerous health issues.

Howard was born April 24, 1933 in Stilwell, Oklahoma. He was the second of seven children and oldest son of Marcus and Evelyn Lee. In 1944, the family relocated to Washington, where Marcus secured employment with Weyerhauser and settled in the Marysville area.

After a brief National Guard stint, on March 6, 1952, Howard enlisted in the US Navy as a fireman recruit. He later went on to become a veteran of Navy service, serving a total of 22 years. Howard was a Machinist Mate and was, over his career, attached to the USS Kearsarge, the USS McDermott, the USS Preble and the USS Klondike. He served in the Korean conflict, received numerous decorations and ultimately became a Chief Petty Officer. After a period of “pushing boots”, Howard retired from the Navy on June 21, 1971.

During Navy service, Howard was relocated to San Diego, California. It was there that he met the woman who would become his wife – Darlene Eimar. They married on June 16, 1956 in National City, California, embarked on one of the steadiest marriages ever created, and started a family that included four children.

Upon retirement from the Navy, Howard became the operator of Lee’s Highland Avenue Service, a Mobil service station in National City, California. While there, Howard met many wonderful people and was able to combine his love of having and fixing cars and a keen ability to work with people to create a good and happy business.

In 1981, family matters became important and the family returned to Washington and settled in Arlington. Howard and Darlene purchased a house that required an extraordinary amount of work to make it habitable due to a previous house fire.

Howard did a lot of scraping, drywall installation, painting and electrical work (which was never his favorite) and ultimately put together the beautiful house the family still lives in. Howard went to work for EASE airport shuttle service in Everett, Washington for a short time before securing employment with Frontier Bank, also in Everett. Howard retired from Frontier and, ultimately, retired permanently.

Howard was proud of his Indian heritage and its association with the Standing Rock Tribe in the Sioux nation. He appreciated firearms, loved cars, took lessons to learn to play banjo and had a serious thing about two pocket shirts. He also had a somewhat off beat taste for eclectic food items, such as clams a nd oysters, k ipper snacks, pickled pigs feet, chicken gizzards and spaghetti with carrots in it. His drinks of choice r a nged f rom Black Velvet and ginger ale to buttermilk – thankfully not at the same time. He read every single Louis L’Amour western book ever written – sometimes more than once – on a Kindle which was rarely out of reach. Howard would wear every crazy hat presented to him, made a mean batch of biscuits and gravy, and always, simply, wanted “a good cigar”.

Howard is survived by his sweetheart and wife of 59 years, Darlene; his children, Deborah (Ronald) Wilson of Everett, WA, Howard (Merrilee) Lee, Jr. of Everett, WA, Randy Lee of Arlington, WA, and Brian (Chantale) Lee of Coquitlam, B.C.; his sisters, Wilma (Larry) Gray of Lake Stevens, WA, Barbara (Mike) Kane of Cathedral City, CA, Virginia (Fred (Fritz)) Anderson of Kent, WA and Wanda (John) La Rose of Arlington, WA. Howard was preceded in death by his two younger brothers, Robert Elwood Lee of Niceville, FL and Mark Allen Lee of Kent,

stevick@heraldnet.com

WA. Howard had seven grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren and numerous extended family – and loved them all.

The family cannot begin to express their thanks to Dr. Charles Chaffee, Howard’s primary care physician for over 30 years. In addition, recognition goes to Dr. Mark Gunning and Dr. Vinaya Chepuri for their help and assistance over the last several years. The family also deeply appreciates the Puget Sound Kidney Center at Smokey Point, its nurses and staff, who made Howard comfortable during trying times. And, finally, there aren’t enough words for Travis Hots and the many Snohomish County medics and emergency personnel who attended Howard in his final moments. Everyone was professional, kind, considerate and made a difficult time as gentle as it could possibly be.

To say Howard was loved is an understatement.

His love for his wife was not often spoken out loud, but it was deep, solid and unconditional. His children and other family members had no doubt about his love and affection for them. Howard had the extraordinary blessing of being able to share his birthdays with his eldest son, Howard Jr., who were born the same day 25 years apart.

Howard was a “nice guy” who was loved, admired and respected by all who knew him. He was a strong man but calm and reserved. He was quietly opinionated and not always politically correct.

He knew all the swear words but never said anything that might have offended his mother.

A Celebration of Life for Howard, including military honor guard, will be held at Evergreen Funeral Home and Cemetery, 4504 Broadway, Everett WA on August 20, 2015 at 2:00 p.m.

A small inurnment ceremony will follow shortly thereafter and all are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Navy Relief or the Wounded Warrior Project.

John Thomas (Jack) Welch Jr. June 1, 1926 — August 9, 2015

J o h n Thomas (Jack) We l c h J r. died Sunday, August 9, 2015 at Cascade Hospital in Arlington.

Born in 1926 in Missouri, Jack lived a long, interesting, and fruitful life. Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Emma Dee, and is survived by ten children (and spouses) from his marriage to Dorothy Swanson: Jackie (Tom) Milroy, Tom (Jennifer) Welch, Mary Lou Nicol, Terri (Monte) Jensen, Beverly (Barry) Madan, Bill Welch, Ed (Basia) Welch, Kevin (Marianne) Welch, Wendy (Bobby) Orr, and Janet (Jeff) Tapp.

His descendants include 21 grandchildren and 15 great –grandchildren. He is also survived by Emma’s daughters, Maureen Ray and Sherry Peterson.

Jack was a proud member of the Arlington Masonic Lodge, enjoyed hunting and fishing, liked to travel and visit friends and relatives, and had a

deep love for the outdoors.

He was a Navy vet e r a n of WWII Korea, worked at a nu mb e r of p r ofe s sio n s, including many years operating the liquor store in Arlington, and was a well-known and respected member of his community.

Dad was a cowboy at heart; he loved country and western music, watching the rodeo, and being anywhere in the West. He liked to ride, he rode a good fence, and he enjoyed working cattle.

He was a longtime sufferer with the Mariners and an avid fan of the Seahawks.

Dad played a mean hand of pinochle and could beat most at cribbage.

Jack Welch lived a long, full life, and will be deeply missed by his family and friends. We love you, Dad. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 PM on Monday, August 17, 2015 at Weller Funeral Home, 327 N. McLeod Ave, Arlington WA. 1393959

teens posing with a stolen AR-15 and a stolen handgun. In another picture, the mother stands in the background as her son points the handgun toward the cellphone camera. There is a separate photo in which she is seen wearing a yellow dress and smiling while holding the rifle.

Both teens were charged in juvenile court with possessing stolen property. The mother, 31, was booked into the county jail for investigation of possessing a stolen firearm. She later was released, pending charges.

The Herald generally doesn’t identify juveniles charged with crimes.

Naming the mother likely would identify her son.

The investigation began early July 10 when the teens were found sleeping on a bridge along a trail in Marysville. The woman’s son, 16, reportedly had a handgun beneath him. The serial number had been filed off, but the weapon matched the description of a handgun reported stolen from a Marysville home the day before.

The burglary victim discovered that someone had used a Japanese-style sword to break into his weapons safe. He came home to find a rifle had been removed from the safe and left in the living room. Taken was the AR-15, a handgun, a video game, a wedding ring, roughly $500 in cash and a pair of sunglasses.

After police recovered the missing handgun from the teen, the victim told detectives he went to the Facebook page of the 16-year-old, who lives nearby. The victim told police it appeared in a photo that the teen was wearing his stolen sunglasses and was holding his stolen handgun.

When police went to the boy’s home, his mother gave them permission to search his room. They found two AR-15 magazines but not the rifle. The woman allowed police to search other parts of the house, but “never allowed us to search her bedroom,” detectives wrote.

Later, the other boy — a 15-year-old runaway — told police that his friend’s mom “saw the AR-15 in the room and she wanted it for herself.” They returned to the home where they found the rifle on a shelf in her locked closet. When confronted by police, the mom allegedly admitted that she had the rifle and was trying to figure out a way to return it to its owner.

Pray for school event set Aug. 23 MARYSVILLE – The Prayer for our Schools event Sunday, Aug. 23, takes on even more meaning this year after the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck High School.

Steve and Lynn Reid of the

August 15, 2015

local Christian Community Matters group said that last year 11 churches prayed at 16 schools.

“What a blessing that we can come together for our children and workers in the education community,” he said in an email. “Our hearts were broken like yours with the tragedy of events last year.”

Reid said a prayer has been distributed to churches in Marysville-

Tulalip. “Our hope is that every church adopts a school or schools closest to their location with the intent of saying this and other prayers,” he added.

The prayer reads: “Father God, please hear our prayer. We bring to you today our prayer for our community schools. We ask you to surround this building and grounds, our

teachers, workers, volunteers, administrators and your children with your safety and protection.

We ask for your intercession that all people, each day express your tolerance, forgiveness, acceptance and grace for one another. We ask in your name that all confusion, stress, doubt and lack of resources be removed from these premises.

“We thank you, Father God

17

for these facilities, these children, their families and the dedicated teachers and staff.

“We give thanks for the support of the Marysville/Tulalip community. In your name we pray for covering of everlasting blessings, a renewed promise of hope and your unfailing love for our community. In your powerful and mighty name, amen.”
