Cliff Nelson of the Snohomish County Human Society and his aide Edwin Knipfer came to the rescue at 628 61st St. A six-month-old gray, black and white kitty was some 70 feet up a fir tree and its caterwauls weren't appreciated by the neighborhood. Nelson climbed the tree to get the cat.

There were gillnets in the Stillaguamish River last week after tribal commercial steelhead fisheries were through for the winter season. Stillaguamish tribal biologist John Drott said a test fishery was run to gather winter steelhead run-timing and age-composition data. All fish were released.
