Is 911 software ready for action?

Pricey technology for SNOPAC and SNOCOM dispatch centers is set to go live June 9, despite delays and disputes.

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — A long-awaited and pricey overhaul of Snohomish County’s emergency dispatch software is set to go live June 9.

Supporters say the bugs are worked out, and the project is ready. Others say the rollout should be more gradual in case of problems.

The software, made by New World Systems in Michigan, has

been controversial for years.

Together, the county’s two primary dispatch centers — SNOPAC, based in Everett, and SNOCOM, based in Mountlake Terrace — have spent nearly $10 million. New World initially was supposed to launch here in 2011, but the project has been plagued by delays and disputes.

Earlier this month, Sheriff

Ty Trenary sent a letter to his staff acknowledging it’s been a “difficult road” but that they should stay committed as June approaches.

“Every tool we use currently to perform our jobs — from records to booking to patrol — will change,” Trenary wrote. “In the end, however, it will be worth it.”

New World software is set to

“I knew how to care for plants and stuff from my grandmother and gardening,” Burton said. “I thought it would be a good project for my day off.”

OLYMPIA — Fire officials this week are rekindling their effort to make sure a law that lets them mobilize resources to fight wildfires also applies to major emergencies such as the Oso mudslide.

Public hearings are planned in the House and Senate on bills that would revise the state wildfire mobilization law to make clear it can be used for non-fire incidents, such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and outbreaks of contagious disease.

The bills also spell out that fire departments are eligible for reimbursement of mobilization expenses.

Fire chiefs from around Snohomish County and the state have been pushing for retooling the law for years.

In Oso in March, a request for the mobilization was denied because there was no fire. That has fueled a sense of urgency to get clarification this session.

“We need to give them the authority to act and coordinate,” said Rep. Dave Hayes, R-Camano Island, a member of the Public Safety Committee and a co-sponsor of the House bill. “It’s unfortunate that something bad has to happen before we act.”

Teens realize what the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is all about Herald Writer

LAKE STEVENS — On Jan. 19, teens across Snohomish County went out into their communities on a day off from school to give back in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr. The activities were all coordinated by the United Way of Snohomish County as part of its annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service, which marshals hundreds of teens into volunteer activities across the county.

All told, 268 teens came out to lend a hand Monday, as well as

41 adult volunteers. A total of 16 agencies, hosting projects at 14 sites around Snohomish County, helped make the day off school and work into one dedicated to giving back to the community.

In Lake Stevens, about 20 volunteers got their hands dirty potting tree saplings at Sound Salmon Solutions, a nonprofit regional fisheries enhancement group working in the Snohomish, Stillaguamish and Island County watersheds.

Over the course of the year, Sound Salmon Solutions relies on more than 1,000 volunteers of all ages who come out to work

Monday’s marathon treepotting session was just one part of that year-long initiative to restore the region’s waterways, said Robert Sendrey, the nonprofit’s executive director.

“We’re always out in the community getting volunteers to help us,” Sendrey said.

World. The delays have allowed more time to vet and solve problems, he said.

A regional incident management team — similar to those sent to the Oso mudslide and the Skagit River bridge collapse — is expected to oversee the launch.

During the earlier delays, those involved in the project did look at alternatives, including dropping New World and finding a different vendor. No other company was up to the task, Guptill said. Walking away now, after the money that’s been spent and the staff time invested, would be irresponsible and “crazy,” he said.

minutes from November reference the New World delays as “reaching the point of ridiculous.”

NORCOM, the dispatch center serving northeast King County, including the Bothell Fire Department, also has had a troubled relationship with New World Systems. In June, NORCOM and New World signed a settlement to resolve legal disputes outside of court. NORCOM is using New World for police dispatching but dropped the fire dispatching part of the project after repeated problems. In the settlement, New World agreed to pay NORCOM $850,000, public records show.

In January 2014, New World and SNOCOM also signed a settlement. In that dispute, the company wanted SNOCOM to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance fees on software that

wasn’t functioning.

SNOCOM’s concerns about New World weren’t resolved, though. In October, board chairman Jerry Smith, also the mayor of Mountlake Terrace, wrote New World asking the company president to come meet with SNOCOM leaders and ease their minds.

“Our confidence in NWS (New World Systems) performance is low and project credibility has suffered,” Smith wrote.

New World declined the offer.

It’s unusual for the New World president to travel, and the company has sent someone to SNOPAC anytime that’s been requested, Guptill said. New World routinely sends people to Snohomish County to work on the project, he said.

Regardless, June still looms.

That go-live date was

announced by SNOPAC at a joint SNOPAC-SNOCOM meeting Jan. 8. At that meeting, Bob Colinas, vice chairman of SNOCOM’s board and the Brier mayor, read a statement asking SNOPAC to reconsider and explore more “alternatives and precautionary measures,” such as a multi-step rollout.

Colinas’ statement and other documents related to the New World project were obtained by The Herald through a series of public records requests.

On Thursday, Guptill sent SNOCOM a response, saying the launch is planned “in a manner that minimizes and mitigates our challenges.”

Once live, the software will be used by more than 40 police and fire departments serving a county of roughly 750,000 people.

software with unlimited data-sharing between all public safety agencies,” Guptill said. “Nothing exactly like this has been done anywhere.”

At the same time, New World continues to irritate some. Barbed exchanges have taken place between SNOPAC and the Marysville Fire District.

In September, the Marysville district’s board asked SNOPAC to consider whether the project is already a failure and to end the relationship with New World, public records show. The Marysville board wrote that if the go-live isn’t successful, the dispatch center should declare a breach of contract by New World.

SNOPAC wrote back that the project would not be launched until it was ready, but that a “solid fallback plan” had been created.

Lake Stevens fire district

Senate version, echoed the sentiment.

“The tragedy highlighted the problem,” he said. “We’re going back to the intent of the original (mobilization) law. I think everyone around the state realizes we need this.”

House Bill 1389 and Senate Bill 5181 are under consideration.

The House Public Safety Committee has scheduled a hearing on HB 1389 at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. The Senate Government Operations and State Security Committee is set to consider SB 5181 at 10 a.m.

Thursday.

Gold Bar Fire Chief Eric Andrews is among those

slated to testify Thursday.

He requested the statewide fire mobilization after the deadly mudslide. He knew it would be denied.

Chiefs from other parts of the state also will appear at each hearing, said J. Dylan Doty, lobbyist for the Washington fire chiefs group.

It’s not just firefighters pushing for change.

The state commission on the Oso mudslide also recommended the clarification. Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick created the panel to review the disaster response and identify ways to improve public safety.

The mobilization is a significant tool for major emergencies that’s been

proven to work, according to the panel’s final report.

The report calls mobilization “a well-tested plan that has earned the faith and confidence” of responders.

The mobilization has been requested 180 times since 1994.

Oso was the only formal denial, because chiefs had been putting the brakes on nonfire requests since the state Attorney General’s Office issued an opinion criticizing application of the law for the 1999 World Trade Organization riots in Seattle. The only other nonfire mobilization was for a motorcycle rally near Spokane in 2005.

Revising the law is not a new debate in Olympia.

Last year, bills to clarify the law passed out of the House public safety and Senate government operations committees but died in the budget committees.

That’s been attributed to the potential costs to the state if it had to reimburse additional, unpredictable mobilizations.

For the two non-fire mobilizations, the state paid out nearly $1.4 million for the World Trade Organization riots and $232,693 for the motorcycle rally, documents show.

Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, chairman of the Public Safety Committee and prime sponsor of the House bill, said money should not be a concern.

“There’s no effect on this

budget,” he said. “If it costs money it is going to be worth it.”

Goodman is hopeful for success this year as lawmakers better understand the need for changes because of what occurred in Snohomish County.

“We cannot say lives would have been saved but the recovery efforts would have been initiated faster,” he said.

Another difference is that fire chiefs and fire commissioners are making an organized full-court press on lawmakers, he said.

“We’re going to get this done this year,” Goodman said.

MARYSVILLE PILCHUCK

Suicide prevention team to meet students Three months after the MPHS shootings it’s time for re-assessment, experts said.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer

MARYSVILLE — It is a sensitive subject, but one Marysville School District leaders believe is timely.

This week, suicide prevention experts will be talking with students and training others on how to look out for those at risk.

Robert Macy, a clinical psychologist and founder of the International Trauma Center

in Boston, is heading up a team to lead assemblies Tuesday at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

A freshman shot five classmates, killing four, and then himself in the cafeteria Oct. 24.

They’ll also be talking to students from other high schools and some from Totem Middle School. Similar conversations will occur at local schools in the months ahead.

Macy was introduced Monday to several dozen parents at a gathering on campus.

After this kind of tragedy, three months is a time to re-assess how people are doing, he said.

In many cases, it gives students tools to get help for classmates

who might be struggling.

District officials said they have received reports of about 20 cases of people experiencing suicidal thoughts since the shootings.

Macy’s team also is scheduled to meet with parents and people from the community from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Mountain View High School, 4317 76th St. NE, and from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Tulalip Administration Building, 6406 Marine Drive.

Macy plans to talk about suicide prevention, screening and recovery, and how to use social media for outreach.

Misinformation spread by social media proved a challenge after the October shootings, but it

also can aid in prevention.

“Just as it can cause a lot of harm, it can do a lot of good,” he said.

Police and school leaders also brought up the trio of bomb threats last week at Marysville Pilchuck.

Similar threats have targeted schools across the country where shootings have occurred, said Mary Schoenfeldt, a trauma expert hired by the school district to lead the recovery effort.

The Marysville Police Department continues to investigate the threats, Chief Rick Smith said.

The chief described the threats as outlandish, each one worse than the previous, and “fully and

completely debunked.”

Nevertheless, they all had to be taken seriously, Smith said.

He, too, knows bomb threats are common at campuses where violence is a fresh memory.

“I anticipated the threats coming in within the first three weeks,” he said.

Schoenfeldt said she hoped TV stations will listen to people in Marysville. The sounds of news helicopters hovering over the campus last week took many back to the trauma from the day of the shootings, she said.

She encouraged those experiencing stress related to the tragedy to call the Care Crisis line at 1-800-584-3578.

families know best when someone they love needs to be involuntarily committed.

Under the bill, if a mental health profession does not detain someone, family members can petition the Superior Court for review.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the public defender’s office testified against the bill.

They said the problem lies with a lack of state funding for mental health issues, not with the involuntary commitment process.

“Olympia should focus on solving mental health issues on the front end by restoring funding for outpatient treatment for people in the community,” said Michael De Felice, a criminal defense lawyer who supervises the public defense team at the Harborview Civil Commitment Court. The court has seen a 60 percent increase in cases in recent years, which shows that

EVERETT — The owners of a key piece of industrial property in Everett are hoping to get a new tenant soon.

But first, they will have to clean up the mess left behind by the previous tenant.

The 7.7-acre industrial lot at 101 E Marine View Drive, just below the Highway 529 bridge over the Snohomish River, was the site of Busy Beaver Recycling, a company that recycled a wide variety of materials, including some things not normally considered recyclable, such as polystyrene foam.

Busy Beaver, however, was forced to shut down last year after running afoul of many Snohomish Health District regulations.

These included operating without a permit, improper storage of materials and failing to abide by a plan of operations and subsequent voluntary corrections agreements with the district.

The health district sued Busy Beaver in February 2014, and by September had won court decisions forcing the company to halt all business activity on the site and to pay out about $12,000 in fines. The district had to go to Busy Beaver’s bank, Heritage Bank, with a garnishment order to receive payment.

“Things really came to light when we found out they no longer had a permit to operate, which put them in violation of their lease immediately,” said Cory Burke, who manages the company that owns the property, Blunt Family LLC. Blunt Family LLC is a holding company for the assets of local business executives and civic boosters Kim and Sharon Bargreen Blunt, who died in 2010 and 2008, respectively.

The family evicted Busy Beaver in late 2014, but the recycler left a mess behind, including garbage and recyclable material stacked both indoors and

Families say ‘Joel’s Law’ will save lives

SEATTLE — One by one, more than a dozen parents and other family members choked back tears Monday as they urged lawmakers to pass a bill to remove what they say are roadblocks to getting treatment for mentally ill people in crisis.

“Joel’s Law” will save lives, they testified, by allowing family members to ask a judge to review cases whenever a designated mental health professional decides against detaining someone who could be a danger to themselves or others.

The measure was named for Joel Reuter, who was suicidal when he was fatally shot by Seattle police in 2013. His parents, Doug and Nancy Reuter, told the Senate Committee on Human Services, Mental Health and Housing that they repeatedly tried to get the state to

Doug Reuter said those state professionals “are out of control.

Most car prowls in the city involve unlocked vehicles, he wrote. In addition, there were 107 burglaries in the city in 2014. One trend involved thieves breaking into detached garages and unlocked garages.

Joel’s: ACLU disagrees, wants treatment before detainment From Page A3

people actually are being committed, he said. The problem is not with detaining people, it’s treating them so they don’t need to be detained in the first place, he said.

Like the Reuters, Gretchen Allen said she tried and failed to get help for her son, Kirk. He was taken to an emergency room a half-dozen times but “told to go home, rest and heal,” she said.

Without getting proper

treatment, Kirk took his own life, she said.

Mary Jane Thomas testified that she ended up taking her son to California to get treatment. Since he had been unable to get help in a timely manner, he was acute and had to

be institutionalized for six months.

Shankar Narayan, with the ACLU, said he is sympathetic with the families, but the bill is not the answer.

“Our dollars are betterspent upstream,” he said.

“We have failed to fund

pre- or post-commitment treatment. Until we invest into the communitybased treatment systems, we should not send more people into a system where they will not get treatment.”

Following the hearing on the “Joel’s Law” bill,

the committee heard testimony on another O’Ban bill. Senate Bill 5078 would require that 22 percent of funds from the marijuana excise tax be used for community treatment for people with mental illnesses.

outdoors on the site.

“In their haste to get out, they commingled everything,” Burke said.

He said the company also damaged the 95,175-square-foot warehouse building during its move.

The family brought in workers to repair the building and begin the process of cleaning up, recycling what can be reused and taking garbage to the dump.

They’ve been at it two months, and Burke said it may be another six to eight weeks before the cleanup is complete.

The site is still stacked with the leftovers of the Busy Beaver operation, including quantities of a variety of plastic, wood and a large pile of asphalt shingles out in the yard.

The shingles were one of the issues the health district cited because of the potential for the chemicals in the shingles to leach into the groundwater.

“That’s what the owner is dealing with, the remaining material that was just left there when Busy Beaver ceased operations,” said Kevin Plemel, the environmental division director of the Snohomish Health District.

The exposed trash is now covered by tarps to keep the rain off it while the

cleanup is underway.

Plemel said the enforcement action taken against Busy Beaver was unusual, because the district prefers to get voluntary compliance out of code violators and avoid lawsuits if necessary.

“It’s expensive and time consuming,” Plemel said, referring to the sevenmonth suit that shut down Busy Beaver. “Generally, our first goal is to settle things administratively.”

The health district has been working closely with the Blunt family on the cleanup, Plemel said, so that if the family were to lease the site to another tenant, that tenant will be able to get started on the necessary permits early, and not find itself struggling to deal with compliance after the fact.

Burke said he’s been meeting with commercial agents to find out what kind of market would exist for leasing or possibly even selling the lot.

He said he doesn’t have a specific tenant lined up yet, and is not sure who might step forward to rent the property.

“It does lend itself to a recycling facility or something like that, though,” Burke said.

ARLINGTON — Some batches of raw milk from the Old Silvana Creamery are being recalled out of concern they may be contaminated with Campylobacter, bacteria that can cause vomiting and diarrhea.

The recall affects raw milk from the farm with expiration dates of Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, according to Jim Sinnema, who manages the farm.

The milk is sold in 15 stores in Western Washington. The creamery produces several hundred gallons of raw milk a week, he said.

The recall, announced Monday evening, was launched after an independent lab discovered Campylobacter in a routine weekly sample sent to a laboratory for testing, Sinnema said. It had an expiration date of Jan. 23. As a precaution, raw milk from Old Silvana Creamery with an expiration date of Jan. 24 also was recalled, Sinnema said.

Testing showed batches with recall dates of Jan. 26 and Jan. 27 were not affected, he said.

Most people who become ill from the bacteria get diarrhea, cramping,

abdominal pain, and fever within two to five days after exposure, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness in the United States, according to the federal health agency.

It can cause the most serious illness among young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.

Sinnema said he has not heard of anyone becoming ill from the milk.

He said he doesn’t know how the milk was contaminated.

Fired Terrace officer won’t get job back Herald staff MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — A former Mountlake Terrace police commander has lost his appeal for his job back after nearly a year of legal wrangling.

The Mountlake Terrace Civil Service Commission recently upheld the firing of Don Duncan, 50, according to a city press release.

Duncan was arrested in January 2014 and charged with drunken driving. Late

last year, the case ended when the charge was amended to second-degree negligent-driving.

Judge Steven Clough ruled Duncan had committed the offense. The judge ordered him to pay a $550 fine.

Duncan was fired in

spring 2014 after an internal investigation into the circumstances surrounding his arrest. The city determined that Duncan had violated police department policies.

Duncan worked for the city for nearly 18 years.

News. Avian flu is carried by wild ducks and spreads from their feces.

State officials are warning backyard chicken and duck owners to keep their fowl away from wild birds.

State Department of Agriculture spokesman Hector Castro said the home where the birds were located in the Agnew area is owned by Sherry and Gary Smith.

Sherry Smith had alerted state officials after several of her birds got sick, Castro said.

U.S. and state agriculture workers dressed in biohazard suits euthanized the birds at Smith’s home Sunday, federal Department of Agriculture spokesman Dr. Alan Huddleston said.

Avian flu does not affect meat or eggs, which are safe to eat.

“There are no people with any illness related to (flu-infected) poultry anywhere,” state Department of Health spokesman Don Moyer said.

About 700 birds in two backyard flocks in the TriCities area were affected by the outbreak earlier this month.

Some birds died from the fast-acting H5N2 virus.

The remaining were destroyed to prevent the disease’s spread.

Scientists are trying to determine whether the Tri-Cities outbreak was caused by the same H5N2 responsible for a December outbreak in southwest British Columbia that led to nearly 250,000 chickens and turkeys being destroyed.

A northern pintail duck in Whatcom County south of British Columbia

tested positive for H5N2 in December.

The state Department of Agriculture has ordered a quarantine of at least 240 days for a 20-mile zone in Benton and Franklin counties around the Tri-Cities properties with the infected flocks.

The quarantine prohibits the movement of eggs, poultry and other poultry products outside the zone.

The virus has not been detected in the state’s commercial poultry operations or anywhere else in the U.S., state officials have said.

But the Canadian government has banned imports of birds, raw poultry and poultry products from Washington and Oregon.

China has also banned all U.S. poultry, eggs and poultry products.

State House bans openly carried guns in public gallery

By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

OLYMPIA — The state House on Monday joined the Senate in prohibiting people from openly carrying firearms in the public viewing area located over the floor where lawmakers sit.

The decision was made Monday morning after a meeting between leaders from both sides of the aisle in that chamber, and also applies to openly carried knives. The House gallery rules will now include a line prohibiting “open-carried weapons such as guns, firearms, and blades.”

House Majority Leader Pat Sullivan, D-Covington, said that the clarification of the current rule banning demonstrations in the public galleries takes effect immediately, and that security staff have been notified and will hand

out the list of restrictions to people who show up with openly carried weapons.

“This is about how we operate within the House framework that allows us to get our work done,” Sullivan said. “This isn’t a question of Second Amendment rights. The fact that you can’t bring a sign into the gallery, although you have a First Amendment right of free speech ... there are limitations. Within our rules, we believe we have the ability to restrict certain things that would distract from our ability to get work done.”

Sullivan said the attorney general’s office was consulted over the weekend regarding constitutional issues surrounding the decision.

“We believe that we’re on solid ground,” he said.

Bob Calkins, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol, said

to make this clarification, because I think it’s a common sense issue for most people,” he said. “It’s very unfortunate that some people took advantage of what may not have been a clarified piece of the rules. The question now is: Is everyone going to have to pay for this?”

The move by the House comes just days after a similar decision by Lt. Gov. Brad Owen, a Democrat who serves as president of the Senate. Owen announced Friday that he considered openly carried guns the same as any prop used for a demonstration, which is not allowed under each chamber’s rules.

Owen’s decision came a day after a dozen protesters went to the House gallery with their weapons after a gun-rights rally on the Capitol steps protesting a new voter-approved gun

background check law.

People can still bring their concealed guns into the galleries, as long as they have a concealed pistol license.

Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee supports the decision by both the House and Senate, said spokesman David Postman.

Postman said the chambers “made a commonsense decision that’s going to make their members and the public feel better.”

Alan Gottlieb, founder and chairman of the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, said in an email Monday that the move by the legislative chambers was “the result of a few stupid extremists on our side who not only handled their firearms unsafely, but made the hundreds of Second Amendment supporters at the rally look foolish.”

Monday or Tuesday to look for damage at Gig Harbor and determine whether a wind event Sunday afternoon was a tornado.

Meteorologist Josh Smith said the office received reports of branches and small trees blown down, broken windows and loose objects such as kayaks blowing around.

There are no reports of injuries.

earlier constitutional concerns that the patrol had have been resolved and that the agency will abide by the House and Senate’s chamber rules.

Calkins said that if someone openly carries in the gallery, they’ll be directed to leave, and if they decline, they will be subject to arrest for criminal trespass.

House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, said that while there will likely be ongoing conversations about the rule, for now, he said there is “reluctant agreement” from both him and others in leadership in his caucus on the issue.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY

Arguments begin in copkilling trial SEATTLE — Opening arguments are scheduled Tuesday in Seattle in the trial of a man accused of killing a Seattle police officer on Halloween in 2009.

Christopher Monfort has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors said they’ll seek the death penalty if he’s convicted.

Monfort is accused of ambushing Officer Tim Brenton, of Marysville, and Officer Britt Sweeney as they sat in a patrol car. Sweeney survived and Monfort also is charged with attempted murder.

Monfort was wounded by police about a week later during his arrest in Tukwila. He is paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair.

CAN-AM COINS

Opening arguments are scheduled Tuesday in Seattle for a man accused along with a woman of killing six members of her family on Christmas Eve 2007 at Carnation.

The trial of Joseph McEnroe has been delayed by arguments over a possible death penalty and whether he can change his not guilty plea to not guilty by reason of insanity.

McEnroe and his girlfriend at the time, Michele Anderson, are accused of shooting her parents, brother, sister-in-law, 5-year-old niece and 3-year-old nephew.

Man accused of robbing Lynnwood, Shoreline banks A man suspected of being the “Alabama Band Bandit” faces felony charges of robbing five banks in July in Lynnwood, Bellingham and Shoreline. Federal prosecutors on Friday also charged Michael Ryan Hardesty with possessing a stolen firearm.

Hardesty had recently been released from federal prison after being sentenced to seven and a half years in 2008 for possession of an unregistered firearm. He had previous convictions for burglary, grand theft, and drug charges in Washington, Florida and Michigan, according to court records.

The robber had taken $3,500 from the Bank of America in Lynnwood on July 7, and then hit the Whidbey Island Bank in Shoreline for $4,200 on July 11. One week later, he went

Kennewick Man’s DNA likely that of a Native

By Sandi Doughton The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — Nearly two decades after the ancient skeleton called Kennewick Man was discovered on the banks of the Columbia River, the mystery of his origins appears to be nearing resolution.

Genetic analysis is still underway in Denmark, but documents obtained through the federal Freedom of Information Act say preliminary results point to a Native American heritage.

The researchers performing the DNA analysis “feel that Kennewick has normal, standard NativeAmerican genetics,” according to a 2013 email to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is responsible for the care and management of the bones.

“At present there is no indication he has a different origin than North American Native American.”

If that conclusion holds up, it would be a dramatic end to a debate that polarized the field of anthropology and set off a legal battle between scientists who sought to study the 9,500-year-old skeleton and Northwest tribes that sought to rebury it as an honored ancestor.

In response to The Seattle Times’ records request, geochemist Thomas Stafford Jr., who is involved in the DNA analysis, cautioned that the early

conclusions could “change to some degree” with more detailed analysis. The results of those studies are expected to be published soon in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Stafford and Danish geneticist Eske Willerslev, who is leading the project at the University of Copenhagen, declined to discuss the work until then.

But other experts said deeper genetic sequencing is unlikely to overturn the basic determination that Kennewick Man’s closest relatives are Native Americans.

The result comes as no surprise to scientists

who study the genetics of ancient people, said Brian Kemp, a molecular anthropologist at Washington State University. DNA has been recovered from only a handful of so-called Paleoamericans — those whose remains are older than 9,000 years — but almost all of them have shown strong genetic ties with modern Native Americans, he pointed out.

“This should settle the debate about Kennewick,” Kemp said.

Establishing a Native American pedigree for Kennewick Man would also add to growing evidence that ancestors of

the New World’s indigenous people originated in Siberia and migrated across a land mass that spanned the Bering Strait during the last ice age.

And it would undermine alternative theories that some early migrants arrived from Southeast Asia or even Europe.

It’s not clear, though, whether the upcoming study will provide tribes the legal ammunition they need to reclaim what they call “The Ancient One.” Controversy flared over the skeleton almost from the moment in 1996 when two students stumbled across human bones near

the southeastern Washington city of Kennewick.

Bothell archaeologist James Chatters, the first scientist to examine the skeleton, said the skull looked “Caucasoid,” not Native American. A facial reconstruction that bore a striking resemblance to Capt. Jean-Luc Picard (actor Patrick Stewart) of the television series “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” further inflamed members of local tribes, who argued that the remains were rightfully theirs under the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. After eight years of litigation, a federal appeals court ruled in 2004 that Kennewick Man’s extreme age made it impossible to establish a clear link to any existing Northwest tribes.

A scientific team led by Douglas Owsley, a physical anthropologist at the Smithsonian Institution, won the right to study the skeleton, which is stored at the University of Washington’s Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.

The results, including a new facial reconstruction based on more thorough analysis of the skull, were published last year in a 669-page book. Owsley, the lead author, told Northwest tribal members in 2012 that he remains convinced Kennewick Man was not Native American.

In an interview last week, Owsley explained that he bases that conclusion on the shape of the skull, which doesn’t look

anything like the skulls of modern Native Americans.

Its narrow brain case and prominent forehead more closely resemble Japan’s earliest inhabitants and people whose genetic roots are in Southeast Asia, not Siberia and other parts of Northeast Asia.

“His origins are going to go back to coastal Asia,” Owsley said.

That wouldn’t preclude the possibility of some distant, shared ancestry with Native Americans, he added. But chemical analysis of the bones suggests Kennewick Man ate a lot of marine mammals, which means he probably spent most of his life along the coast of Alaska or British Columbia, not on the Columbia Plateau where his bones were discovered, Owsley said.

With its ability to settle questions about lineage, DNA analysis has become one of the most powerful tools for the study of the ancient world, said Peter Lape, curator of archaeology at the Burke Museum.

“This is yet another case where genetics are really revolutionizing the way we think about ancestry and calling into question older scientific methods that rely on looking at the shape of bones,” he said.

Nevertheless, the majority of visitors he encounters at the museum still have the impression that Kennewick Man is Caucasian.

“That initial media storm from 1996 just kind of stuck,” Lape said.

Historic Flight Foundation is honored to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain with a series of presentations by elite aviation historians. Mike Lavelle will answer the scramble bell with “Battle of Britain 75 Years On.” John Sessions will follow with a tribute to “The Other Few” including American, Canadian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish and other non-British, Battle of Britain pilots.

where they will help create a better ecosystem for fish and the insects and macroinvertibrates they eat.

Last year, volunteers planted trees along Jim Creek near Arlington and in the lower Snoqualmie River near Duvall.

They also removed invasive plants like Himalayan blackberry and Japanese knotweed, Syravong said.

In the yard at Sound Salmon Solutions, Hunter Carlson, 16, a sophomore at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, was helping remove leaves and other debris from the potted trees. “I was looking for something that involved salmon or wildlife,” he said.

His brother, Trent Carlson, 13, a seventh-grader at Valley View Middle School, reminded him that a few years ago they had done a salmon count at a hatchery in Woodinville.

“Before I could even remember I just loved the outdoors, fishing and the environment,” Trent

Carlson explained.

Inside the work shed, a group of students from Mariner High School in Mukilteo were potting 2-foot-tall black cottonwood saplings. About 500 saplings awaited attention.

One student pushed in a wheelbarrow full of soil and spread it on a work table, while the others scooped it into the pots for the trees.

“I haven’t done this in a long time,” said Darinka Cereceres, 16, a junior who, like the other students there from Mariner High, also takes part in the YMCA Snohomish County’s Minority Achievers Program.

That program seeks to motivate and support students of color and immigrants to achieve their educational career goals. Getting the students involved in the community is a big part of that, said Alex Costumbrado, the YMCA’s youth development director.

“I used to help my mom out with her garden,” Cereceres said. Spending the day potting trees at Sound Salmon Solutions was fun, she said, “especially while hanging out with friends.”

Mideast drama at Miss Universe pageant Associated Press JERUSALEM — Explosive confrontations are nothing new for Israel and Lebanon, but the latest spat between the longtime foes is perhaps the first to have been caused by an alleged photo-bomb.

A seemingly innocuous selfie at the Miss Universe pageant in Miami has sparked criticism in Lebanon because it featured a smiling Miss Lebanon alongside Miss Israel.

The Israeli beauty queen, Doron Matalon, posted a picture of herself with colleagues from Japan, Slovakia and Lebanon on her Instagram account.

The result? A formal Lebanese investigation into the scandal.

Lebanese Tourism Minister Michel Pharon told The Associated Press that “if there was bad intentions” from Saly Greige, measures could be taken against her. In her defense, Miss Lebanon says she was photo-bombed.

Matalon said the joint photo was genuine and

was saddened that Greige was under fire at home.

“I hope for change and I hope for peace between us, and even just for three weeks, just between me and her,” she told NBC News. “We need to remember that we represent the country and the people, not the government and not the political issues.”

Under fire from critics

angered by her fraternizing with the enemy, Greige took to Facebook to defend herself.

“The truth behind the photo: Since the first day of my arrival to participate to Miss Universe, I was very cautious to avoid being in any photo or communication with Miss Israel (that tried several times to have a photo with me),” she wrote. “Suddenly Miss

Israel jumped in, took a selfie, and put it on her social media.”

In a statement, the Miss Universe Organization said “it is unfortunate to know a photo of four smiling women from different parts of the world, working together at an event, could be misconstrued as anything other than what it is, a celebration of universal friendship.”

State of the Union: Yay or Nay? How Obama did with 5 goals spelled out in his 2014 address

By Nedra Pickler

hasn’t acted on that, so Obama offered the more modest myRA plan. The Treasury Department has set up a new security as the basis for the investment and for the past month has been running a pilot program with a small group of employers, with plans to expand the program by the end of 2015.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama used his previous State of the Union to declare 2014 a “Year of Action,” and he can claim credit for accomplishing several of the goals he laid out. The smaller ones.

That’s because while he was able to check off most of what he promised to do through executive action in last year’s speech, Obama was unable to get Congress to go along with the bigger plans he had for the country that required its approval.

As Obama prepares to make the trek up Pennsylvania Avenue to address Congress once again, here’s a look back a year later at five of the promises he made — and which got fulfilled and denied.

Immigration “Let’s get immigration reform done this year,” Obama declared to a Congress that had long blocked his efforts. And so he did, although it was not the broad plan he envisioned that would have allowed a path to citizenship for more than 11 million immigrants here illegally. Instead, Obama took executive action to make more than 4 million of those

Minimum wage One of Obama’s most ambitious ideas was to raise America’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour, upping the ante from the $9-an-hour proposal he made in the 2013 State of the Union.

Congress wasn’t keen on the idea, but Obama was able to

unilaterally make the change for new federal contractors.

Retirement savings Obama was able to create a new retirement savings account — dubbed “myRA” for “my IRA” — geared toward low- and middle-income Americans who don’t have the upfront investment that many commercial IRAs require. For years, Obama has been asking Congress to encourage more Americans to grow a retirement nest egg by allowing all workers to be automatically enrolled in IRAs unless they specifically opt out. But Congress

While most of Obama’s proposals last year were positions he had long advocated, one of the few new proposals he offered was extension of the earned-income tax credit, which helps boost the wages of low-income families through tax refunds. Obama wanted it broadened to provide more help to workers without children, a view embraced by some Republicans and conservative economists. The proposal never passed.

Energy Obama said the goal of his energy policy is to create jobs and a cleaner planet and announced that he wanted to set higher fuel economy standards for trucks. The process for making the change is underway, with a new regulation planned to be proposed in March 2015 and finalized in March 2016.

MLK remembered with tributes and rallies

By Kate Brumback Associated Press

ATLANTA — Speakers honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at his spiritual home in Atlanta repeated the same message on his national holiday Monday: We’ve come a long way, but there’s still much to be done to fulfill King’s dream.

King’s daughter, the Rev. Bernice King, urged those gathered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta for the 47th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Annual Commemorative Service to act out against injustice.

But she also said they should heed her father’s message of nonviolence.

The courage and sacrifice of those who participated in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a model for those seeking to effect change today, Bernice King said, adding, “We praise God for a new generation of activists.”

Commemorative events and service projects were organized nationwide to celebrate King’s life and legacy. In cities nationwide, demonstrators also used the occasion to protest persistent inequality.

This year’s King holiday follows several high-profile incidents in which unarmed black men were killed by police. Bernice King invoked the deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City and the fatal shooting of 12-yearold Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Ohio.

“I cannot help but remember many women and men who have been gunned down, not by a bad police force but by some bad actors in a police force,” she said.

Others at the Atlanta tribute said it wasn’t time to rest or be quiet.

“We look at the yellow crime scene tape that is wrapped around America right now,” said Alabama State University

President Gwendolyn Boyd, delivering the keynote address at Ebenezer Baptist. “We know we still have a lot of work to do.”

Those deaths sparked protests and debate over police use of force. The tensions grew after two New York City police officers were shot to death last month by a man who suggested in online posts that he was retaliating for the deaths of Brown and Garner. The gunman, who was black, committed suicide.

Six months after Garner died in a white police officer’s chokehold protests and speeches invoking Garner’s name provided a backdrop to King tributes in New York.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had supported the demonstrations that followed a Staten Island grand jury’s decision not to indict the officer in Garner’s death, fracturing his relationship with the city’s police unions. Yet he vowed Monday that New York would

emerge a more unified city.

“We will move forward as a city. We will move forward to deeper respect for all,” de Blasio said at the annual MLK Day event at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Elsewhere, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that two dozen protesters interrupted a King event at Harris-Stowe State University, leading to angry confrontations with students outside a campus auditorium. Police kept watch, but no arrests were reported.

In Denver, tens of thousands made it one of the biggest turnouts in years for the annual King march and parade.

In Washington, President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, went with one of their daughters, Malia, to a site for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington to paint murals and assemble “literacy kits” of flashcards and books to help youngsters improve their reading and writing skills.

‘Step toward coup;’ Yemen battles rebels

By Ahmed Al-Haj Associated Press

SANAA, Yemen — Yemen’s U.S.-backed leadership came under serious threat Monday as government troops clashed with Shiite rebels near the presidential palace and a key military base in what one official called “a step toward a coup.”

The militants seized control of state media in fierce fighting that marked the biggest challenge yet to President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi by the rebels, known as Houthis, who swept down from their northern strongholds last year and captured the capital in September.

The violence threatened to undermine efforts by the U.S. and its allies to battle al-Qaida’s Yemeni affiliate, which claimed responsibility for the attack on a Paris satirical magazine this month and which Washington has long viewed as the global network’s most dangerous branch.

The Houthis and forces loyal to Hadi have been in a tense standoff for months and the two sides traded blame for the

Houthi Shiite rebels go on patrol Oct. 4 in Sanaa. Yemen’s President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi rushed to reach a cease-fire with the rebels fighting near the presidential palace Monday.

outbreak of violence Monday.

Witnesses said heavy machine gun fire could be heard as artillery shells struck around the presidential palace. Civilians in the area fled as smoke rose over the palace and sirens wailed throughout the city.

Hadi, whose government has ceded control over nearly the entire capital, doesn’t live at the palace, and extra soldiers and tanks deployed around his private residence nearby.

As fighting escalated Monday, the convoys of Yemen’s prime minister and a top official affiliated with the Houthis came under fire, and rebel fighters took over Yemen state television and its official SABA news agency, Information Minister Nadia Sakkaf said.

“This is a step toward a coup and it is targeting the state’s legitimacy,” Sakkaf told The Associated Press.

Cease-fire negotiations

continued throughout the day by a presidential committee that included the interior and defense ministers, a presidential aide and a tribal sheik close to the Houthis. By the end of the day, a tenuous truce appeared to be holding.

The announcement of a cease-fire came after witnesses said the rebels had seized control of strategic hills that overlook both the palace and the military camp south of it. There was no government confirmation of the loss of territory.

At least nine people were killed in the fighting, Yemen’s deputy health minister, Nasser Baoum, told the AP. Yemen’s Western and international allies, including the U.S and Saudi Arabia, called for steps to implement and consolidate the cease-fire, expressing their support for Hadi.

The Houthis blamed Hadi for the escalation in hostilities, saying he reneged on a U.N.sponsored agreement with the group in September that promised better representation on a committee to oversee the drafting of a new constitution.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Crews clean up oil spill in Montana GLENDIVE, Mont. — Crews working to clean up crude oil that spilled in and near the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana and prevent it from traveling further downstream were hampered by ice covering much of the river, officials said Monday.

Officials with Bridger Pipeline LLC of Casper, Wyoming, have said the break in the 12-inch steel pipe happened Saturday about 9 miles upstream from Glendive. A Bridger spokesman said Monday that the company is confident that no more than 1,200 barrels — or 50,000 gallons — of oil spilled during the hour-long breach.

Ky.: Toddler killed by train A 2-year-old Hokpinsville boy who was wandering around with a dog a couple of blocks from home died after they both were hit by a train. Police said Trayton Joiner was pronounced dead Monday. Police said officers had to go door to door to find the child’s home.

Ray said the boy’s mother was located and taken to the hospital where her son was being treated. The dog was hurt and is being treated by an animal clinic.

Calif.: Actor hit by train A fitness model and actor who previously shot workout videos on railroad tracks was struck and killed by a train during filming near Los Angeles. Two men were videotaping George Plitt Jr., 37, on the tracks north of the Burbank train station when Plitt was hit by a Metrolink passenger train, according to Burbank police. Investigators have ruled out a suicide. Plitt was a fitness model, actor and West Point graduate who has appeared on more than 200 magazine covers, Bravo’s reality television shows “Work Out” and “Friends to Lovers” and NBC’s daytime soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” according to a website in Plitt’s name.

AROUND THE WORLD Cameroon: Hostages freed At least two dozen hostages seized over the weekend by militants of Boko Haram have been rescued, the nation’s military said Monday, as the conflict in neighboring Nigeria again threatened to spill across the region. Reports on the number of people kidnapped varied between about 60 and 80. About 30 herders and 50 children were taken, Reuters news service said. The militia burned down about 80 houses, Cameroonian officials said.

Guinea: Schools reopen despite Ebola fears, rumors Schools shuttered during the height of the Ebola crisis in Guinea began reopening Monday, but many parents were still too afraid to send their children to classes. Employees at the doors of schools in the capital were taking temperatures of everyone who showed up Monday. Only those with normal readings were allowed to enter. Yet many pupils remained at home after rumors flew through the capital that masked workers were seen at a school building, raising questions about how safe the buildings were.

Iraq: Canadian soldiers exchange fire with ISIS Canadian soldiers opened fire on Islamic State group extremists in Iraq over the last week in what was apparently the first ground firefight between Western troops and ISIS.

Richest see share of wealth jump

By Danica Kirka Associated Press

LONDON — The richest 1 percent of the population will own more than half the world’s wealth by 2016, Oxfam International said in a report released as the World Economic Forum begins in Davos, Switzerland.

Oxfam said the world’s richest people saw their share of global wealth jump to 48 percent last year from 44 percent in 2009.

Rising inequality is holding

back the fight against global poverty as the world’s biggest companies lobby the U.S. and European Union for beneficial tax changes at a time when average taxpayers are still paying the bill for the financial crisis, Oxfam said.

“Do we really want to live in a world where the 1 percent own more than the rest of us combined?”

Winnie Byanyima, Oxfam’s executive director, said in a statement.

“The scale of global inequality is quite simply staggering, and

despite the issues shooting up the global agenda, the gap between the richest and the rest is widening fast,” she said.

While world leaders such as President Barack Obama and International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde have talked about tackling extreme economic inequality “we are still waiting for many of them to walk the walk,” Byanyima said.

The healthcare and financial services industries spent almost $900 million to lobby the U.S. government for favorable legislation

in 2013, and more than $200 million was spent on lobbying in the EU, Oxfam said.

At the same time, one in nine people don’t have enough to eat and more than a billion people live on less than $1.25 a day, Oxfam said, ticking off statistics that paint a grim picture for all but the world’s richest.

The charity is calling for a crackdown on tax avoidance by corporations and rich people, as well as increased investment in health and education and equal pay legislation.

Amazon to create feature films

World leaders must do a better job of coordinating their actions if they want to effectively combat terrorism and the grave risks from conflicts and volatility around the globe, the founder of the World Economic Forum said Monday.Speaking on the eve of an annual gathering of the world’s financial and political elites in Switzerland’s Davos, Klaus Schwab also said that the big risk now is the world moving into a cycle of deflation.

The center in the Department of Mechanical Engineering focuses on advanced assembly and manufacturing technologies for aircraft and spacecraft.

Unity call from Davos

The Washington Post

Amazon on Monday took a big step forward into the world of Hollywood, with plans to create 12 feature films a year that will be released first in movie theaters and then, weeks later, streamed to customers.

Amazon Studios is fresh off the success of series “Transparent” at the Golden Globes, winning best comedy, and its deal with Woody Allen to produce a new streaming series — accomplishments that have drawn comparisons to online giant Netflix. Both streaming services, with their roots as technology firms, started first with original television series.

But unlike Netflix, which is producing movies that will be released simultaneously online and in theaters, Amazon’s move will follow the traditions of Hollywood’s delayed release into homes.

Amazon Studios said it will begin production of films later in the year with budgets of $5 million to $25 million per project. One or two months after theatrical release, the films will be exclusively provided to Amazon Prime Instant Video customers.

Amazon viewers will see the films much sooner than the typical cycle of releases to DVDs, cable on-demand and then streaming service providers, said Roy Price, vice president of Amazon Studios.

“Windowing” a typical film takes 39 to 52 weeks to reach Amazon or Netflix, he said.

Amazon announced that Ted Hope, who produced “Eat Drink Man Woman” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” will head production for Amazon Original Movies.

It is unclear if theaters will be interested in showing Amazon’s films. The National Association of Theater Owners declined to comment.

Theater owners criticized Netflix’s plans to release “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Dragon” simultaneously online and in IMAX theaters. When Sony Pictures Entertainment’s released “The Interview” last month in theaters and online at the same time, the theaterowners group said the studio probably didn’t make up for the cost of the film because it only played in a small number of theaters.

Cheap oil means change

Fallout from lower prices felt beyond the gas pump

By Henry C. Jackson Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Cheap oil doesn’t only mean cheaper gas in the tank. It means that a car dealer in Illinois is shuffling the inventory of models he’ll be selling, that more students in Wisconsin may get schoolprovided iPads, that some projects in a California city will be delayed, and that some expected oilfield hiring in North Dakota and Texas may not happen.

Plummeting oil prices are reverberating through businesses, towns, schools and family budgets, causing confusion and changing plans. With prices having fallen by nearly half in just six months, the potential impact has been sudden and wide ranging.

“I’m always chasing my tail,” said Ron Hicks, who has sold cars for 10 years in Galesburg, Illinois, and overall for 38 years, and suddenly finds himself with too many smaller fuel-efficient cars when trucks and sports cars might sell better. “I need to be smarter even than I’ve been in the past. I need to find the balance.”

Fuel is a major cost item for many businesses and local governments, and the recent changes are upending budgets that were drafted month ago and used to plan hiring and authorize projects for 2015. For a medium-sized city with police cars and garbage trucks to fuel, gasoline costs can amount to several hundred thousand dollars annually.

But oil also is a revenue source in more than two dozen states. In Alaska, where up to 90 percent of the budget is funded by oil, new Gov. Bill Walker has ordered agency heads to start identifying spending cuts.

Drugmaker AbbVie Inc. said Monday that its new, all-pill hepatitis C combo treatment has been approved for patients in the 28 European Union member countries.

The company said the European Commission granted marketing authorization for the combination of Viekirax and Exviera. Viekirax itself is a combination pill containing antiviral drugs ombitasvir, paritaprevir and ritonavir; Exviera is a single pill containing dasabuvir.

Chelsea Schmidt shows Aaron Brown a problem on an iPad on Wednesday at Lincoln Intermediate School in West Allis, Wisconsin. In the West Allis-West Milwaukee school district, an initiative to provide IPads for all students may be accelerated, thanks to $16,000 in fuel savings.

“This pullback caught most everyone by surprise,” Brian M. Youngberg, a senior energy analyst for Edward Jones wrote in analysis last week.

The stakes are especially high for transportation companies.

But at Delta Airlines, which projects $1.7 billion in fuel savings in 2015, no adjustments are envisioned, at least in ticket prices.

“When it comes lower, hang on to all of it,” Delta CEO Richard Anderson told investors in December about likely profits.

“That’s kind of our philosophy.”

In states like North Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas, which have reaped the benefits of an oil boom, the retrenchment is beginning.

But because of the “flying pace” of growth, a slowdown actually could be healthy, said Rob Lindberg, director of a group that promotes business growth in western North Dakota.

Lee Sapp, who runs a Ford dealership in Ashland, Nebraska, said he’s wondering what the price drop will mean for customers. It’s not that simple, he said.

Road help for mid-sized cities oversight that the Legislature will correct.)

Since 2009, Congress has appropriated $4.1 billion in grants for transportation projects through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s TIGER program, Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery. The grants are awarded through a competitive process, but a quarter of the funds are targeted for rural areas with the balance going mostly to larger cities and statewide projects.

Typically, projects in mid-sized cities don’t have the resources to compete with the larger cities, said Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash. And to date, TIGER has not funded any projects in this state north of Seattle.

Larsen, who says he will focus much of his effort this session on transportation issues, has introduced a bill that could help those

mid-sized cities by tacking on three more letters to the TIGER acronym, CUBS, Cities Underfunded Because of Size. Congress loves a good acronym, but the bill’s worthy intent seeks to more fairly distribute funding by setting aside 20 percent of the grant program for cities between 10,000 and 50,000. The bill, of course, doesn’t guarantee that Snohomish County’s mid-sized cities would receive funding, but it should increase their chances.

For a city such as Arlington, funding from the CUBS program would allow it to invest in upgrades to the access roads from manufacturing and industrial businesses to the state-funded improvements being planned for Highway 531, said Mayor Barb Tolbert. The federal grants would allow investments that the city can’t put solely on the

backs of its taxpayers or for which it can’t count on state funding, she said.

Even if the Legislature does allocate funding for transportation projects above what is in Inslee’s budget, it’s not likely to provide all $1.067 billion in projects advocated by Economic Alliance Snohomish County. So any federal funding that could go to projects in the county’s mid-sized cities would “make sense not only for the state but for the U.S. economy as a whole,” the alliance’s CEO Troy McClelland said in a statement supporting Larsen’s legislation.

Every $1 billion invested in transportation projects for roads, bridges, highways and transit creates more than 13,000 jobs in those communities, Larsen said.

Just as important, it makes it possible to keep the jobs that are already here.

aging buses.

This year’s amount is the $217,683 — the reimbursement dollars decrease as the buses age. But, the amount will increase as the buses are replaced. Basic math tells us that every four years the district has received over $1 million for replacing buses. In the past six years, Arlington School District has received the wanted $1.5 million for the supposed 2016 need. So why does the district have a 28-year old bus? Furthermore, why would the district need the voters to approve a new levy when they get funds for yearly replacement already?

In studying the OSPI website, there are four bus manufacturers contracted to sell to Washington school districts. Buses range in size and equipment for special needs students. The site shows the buses range from $48,000 to $113,000. Why, then, would the district dare ask us for money they have already received? Replacing one half of the bus force all at once is ridiculous. And we know from the last levy failure, the district, I am certain, will ask for another $3 million in 2018-19 for the other half of the fleet!

A honest and proper levy would be one that asks for funds to grow the district’s fleet due to increased student population. This is a “replacement” levy. So apparently the district wants us to replace the money they used elsewhere.

Vote no on this administration spending mess.

From 2006 to 2013, I was an employee of the Everett School District and worked at Cascade High School as an On Time Graduation Success Coordinator, dealing with at-risk students who were not only in jeopardy of not graduating on time, but were at risk for a number of reasons — most beyond their control.

I worked collaboratively with administration, counseling, teachers and outside organizations. I was always impressed with the support I was given, especially by many of the dedicated teachers at Cascade. I was very troubled by the articles in the Herald regarding Steve Bertrand. In my experience working with Steve, I always found him to go the “distance” for each student academically, socially and personally. He was always willing to negotiate and explain expectations to students while maintaining compassion for what their individual challenges might be.

I can honestly say that many of the students I worked with would not have graduated on time without Bertrand’s willingness to go the extra mile to assist them in meeting the many and varied requirements that students face today. The fact that the district wants to go in “a different direction” when this individual has dedicated his career to our children and their future is the only direction we as a community should aspire to.

I am disappointed that our district leaders have taken an individual’s 37 years of unwavering commitment to Cascade, students and the community and minimized it in such a trivial way. Of course certain people were not available for comment or could not speak due to policy constraints. This to me is merely another example of how far we have come and how little we have learned.

There have been several articles and letters written about the proposed motocross project near Granite Falls. Much of it is wrong.

Allow me to correct a few mistakes.

Gary Strode, the project proponent, is not the owner of the property where the project is proposed. The owner is Bascom Pacific, an out-of-state timber company.

One letter writer says that motocross riding is “the same as digging a hole, which doesn’t seem to be a big deal.”

I dig holes all the time, and I never make the amount of noise that motocross riding creates. I certainly never create the amount of noise that 40 motocross riders will make in each race, and there could be 40 such races per day, according to the project description. When I dig holes, I never throw dirt clods 10-15 feet into the air. I never pollute the air with gasoline exhaust.

I never drip gasoline or other toxins onto the ground, where they can enter the water table, and pollute it. Somehow, when I dig a hole, nobody is bothered by it, yet a single motocross rider can produce enough noise to irritate people several miles away. I guess my digging a hole is different from that letter writer.

Agreed, when I dig a hole, I really never bond with others, as the letter writer notes motocross riders bond. It’s nice that motocross riders bond with one another, but it would also be nice if they didn’t irritate others, or degrade their property values through their activities. My hole digging never degraded anyone’s property values, or the peace and quiet they seek at their home environment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■POLICE SEIZURES

Put drug money in general fund I find it troubling to read about how the Snohomish Police Department is planning to use funds that were confiscated from drug dealers. (Saturday article, “Snohomish police hope to spend seized drug money on remodel.”)

Money obtained in this way should not go to the department that confiscated it — that’s a clear conflict of interest. This is only one step away from an arresting officer keeping it for himself, and obviously we wouldn’t think that to be acceptable. Confiscated money and goods should go into the general fund, and the police department should have to justify getting that money back when competing with all the other global wants and needs for general funds.

This same issue causes traffic arrests to be made strictly for the revenue involved, rather than for promoting public safety. To eliminate this conflict of interest, fines collected beyond the direct cost of making the arrest should be directed to a general fund, rather than the local municipality.

That’s ignoring the inequality of seizure itself. When a seizure occurs, there is no matching of the crime and the penalty. Another example of this is when the Fisheries Department seizes a boat from someone illegally fishing. If the miscreant happens to be in a nicer boat, should he have to pay a higher fine than someone in an old beater boat doing the same misdeed? The fair way of dealing with this would be to sell the seized asset, then use the proceeds to pay the fine which would be independently determined. If the criminal needs to add to the seized value for his fine, that should be the case, and if he should get a refund, that also should be the case.

IN OUR VIEW | Rep. Larsen’s transportation bill

You can forgive Mountlake Terrace, Arlington, Monroe and Snohomish County’s other mid-sized cities, those with populations between 10,000 and 50,000, if they sometimes feel like the overlooked middle child, especially when it comes to funding for transportation projects.

Bigger cities with greater populations and larger job bases usually have an easier time winning state and federal funding for their projects. (We will note the one recent exception being the entirety of Snohomish County, which was treated more like an orphaned child in Gov. Jay Inslee’s 2015-17 transportation budget. Only $81.8 million was set aside for projects in the county in his budget, compared to $3.9 billion for King County.

Noise, pollution degrade, harm

Turn up heat on Congress to act on climate

W

e now know that 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history.

We also know that President Obama can expect little help from Republicans in Congress — some of them cynical, others clueless — in facing the most daunting environmental challenge of our time.

Scientists from NASA and NOAA announced Friday that last year narrowly edged out former record-holdEUGENE ROBINSON ers 2010 and 2005 as the warmest since reliable temperature measurements began. Unlike those other scorchers, 2014 did not have the benefit of an El Nino meteorological phenomenon, which tends to boost temperatures.

“Hold on a minute,” I hear someone objecting, “I seem to recall that last winter featured the dreaded polar vortex, which brought frigid arctic air to much of the United States. Some warming!”

Is that you, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., new chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee? The U.S. Senate’s point man on climate change? Let me try to put this in a way you might understand. The planet we live on is really, really big — so big that when it’s cold in our country, which covers only a small percentage of earth’s surface, it can be hot in other places. At the very same time!

OK, I’m being somewhat unfair. Inhofe actually reacted to the news of 2014’s record heat by calling the reported increase tiny and meaningless. But his long-held position is not that climate change is overblown or misinterpreted or poorly understood, but that it is actually a “hoax” and a “conspiracy.” He wrote a book taking this stance. At times, he has claimed that global warming, if it were indeed taking place, would be a good thing. And he has scoffed at the notion that humans could ever have such a massive impact on God’s immense creation.

Let me repeat: This is the man whose task is to lead the United States Senate in setting environmental policy.

GOP leaders in both houses tend to take the standard party position on climate change, which is basically to absolve themselves of the obligation to take a position by asserting that they are not scientists.

“Clearly we’ve had changes in our climate,” House Speaker John Boehner said last week. “I’ll let the scientists debate the sources, in their opinion, of that change.

But I think the real question is that every proposal we see out of this administration with regard to climate change means killing American jobs.”

As Boehner knows, but finds inconvenient to admit, scientists have had their debate. It’s over. Among climate scientists, there is consensus approaching unanimity that climate change is being driven by the rapidly increasing concentration of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which, in turn, is being caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

It is known through direct observation that carbon dioxide levels have risen an astounding 40 percent since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The rise began after human society began burning coal and petroleum products on an unprecedented scale.

Obama can, should and must make climate change one of the major themes of his remaining time in office. If he gets no help from Congress, he has the obligation to do what he can on his own.

He is off to a good start. Last fall’s unexpected agreement with China on restricting carbon emissions gave new impetus to the quest for an international treaty on climate change. With the world’s two biggest economies — and biggest carbon emitters — now putting new focus and resources into alternative energy sources, new economies of scale and potential breakthroughs are possible.

Domestically, Obama’s biggest impact will come not from whatever happens with the Keystone XL pipeline but from the Environmental Protection Agency’s rule-making on carbon emissions from power plants.

Reasonable limits will require a transition away from coal toward cleaner fuels.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who comes from the coal-mining state of Kentucky, will squawk. But the EPA’s authority to regulate carbon is well established. Instead of pretending there’s some kind of debate about climate change, Congress ought to be working on economic development alternatives for coal-mining regions that will inevitably suffer.

“Hottest Year On Record” is a headline that encourages sanity on climate change.

Break it to Sen. Inhofe gently.

Weight-loss barriers can be overcome

A

n overweight woman, Amy, consulted her doctor about knee pain. She had wear-and-tear arthritis in her knee caused by her overweight condition. In a way, Amy’s pain was lucky since it allowed her to address the consequences of her obesity early.

Millions of Americans are not as fortunate. A more-common scenario is for people to ignore weight-related health issues until they’re forced to face serious or life-threatening diseases.

Here’s good news, though: You can significantly improve your health by losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight. An initiative to help you achieve this is the Americans in Motion campaign sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians.

Here are campaign highlights about obesity-related disorders and how you can overcome barriers to weight loss: Obesity complications. Conditions associated with overweight and obesity that may place you at increased risk for death include high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, high LDL (bad) cholesterol, low HDL (good) cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

Compared to people of normal weight, overweight people are much more likely to develop a potentially serious condition called metabolic syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by increased abdominal girth, low HDL (good) cholesterol, and elevated levels of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood fat triglycerides. People with metabolic syndrome have an increased risk for heart disease, hardening of the arteries, and diabetes.

Excess weight evaluation.

An evaluation should include a body mass index and waist circumference. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that all adult Americans regularly get screened for obesity.

Part of an obesity workup may consist of a search for factors that accelerate weight gain. Common culprits include diabetes, thyroid disease, heart failure, depression, sleep problems, and eating disorders. Some medications may contribute to weight gain such as insulin, cortisone, progestins, and certain drugs used to treat depression or high blood pressure.

Aiming to change. Making healthier choices about diet, exercise, and emotional wellbeing is the most important change you can make in your life.

Here are tips from the Americans in Motion campaign.

Be your own expert: Lasting success often incorporates these simple principles: Consume a variety of foods. Avoid large meals that make you feel too full.

Aim for a balance between eating for health and enjoyment.

Find joy in exercise: Choose to do a physical activity you enjoy every day. First consult your doctor if you’re unaccustomed to exercise.

Record your progress: Track your food intake, daily calories, and physical activities in a journal. The awareness you gain can lead to wiser food choices.

Teresa Busch (right) enjoys a glass of wine while waiting at The Vault Hair Lounge in Snohomish recently. A law that went into effect in June allows qualified day spas to offer a 6-ounce pour of wine or a 12-ounce beer to customers older than 21.

Now serving at the salon New legislation gives day spas the ability to serve alcohol

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH ­­— As the sunset sparkles over the river in historic downtown Snohomish, there’s no prettier place to sit back and enjoy a glass of wine.

And to get prettier while you’re at it.

Patrons at The Vault Hair Lounge sip red or white wine as their hair is coiffured and colored.

Raise your glass in a toast to the folks at the Legislature.

The state law, effective last June, allows qualified day spas to give a 6-ounce pour of wine or a 12-ounce beer to customers at least 21.

But there’s a catch: It’s not a guzzle-and-go. In order to imbibe, clients must get services lasting over an hour.

In other words, women are the

I love it. It’s amazing. Come and relax and get away from the kids.

main benefactors of this bill.

That’s right, fellas. Beer won’t be flowing at the barbershop, at least not anytime soon. To qualify, a spa must offer at least three aesthetic services: hair care, nail care, skin care or body care (massage, wraps, waxing).

Clients get one glass at no charge. They can’t buy a second

glass nor can they BYOB. Washington State Liquor Control Board spokesman Mikhail Carpenter said about 30 day spa permits have been issued so far. The annual permit fee is $125 and each employee serving alcohol must complete the limited alcohol server training program.

At The Vault Hair Lounge, bottles of wine are kept in a safe in the vault. The salon is in the old city hall and jail built in 1927.

A vault door leads to an office and storage.

Co-owner Angela Mahlman opened the salon last spring with intent to add wine as a perk.

“With the river view and just being downtown Snohomish it’s a nice place to do it,” she said.

“There’s a lot of shopping on the street. Especially on Friday, it sets the mood.”

Clients tip their glass to it.

“It’s nice to be pampered,”

said Teresa Busch as she relaxed under a hair dryer with a glass of red wine at the ready. “It’s a fun atmosphere at the salon. Then you walk out of here looking beautiful.”

“I love it. It’s amazing. Come and relax and get away from the kids,” said Leslie Anderson.

Sometimes there are truffles or treats to go with it.

Occasionally a beer comes out of the vault.

“We don’t serve very much of it,” Mahlman said. “Mostly men like it, but men’s haircuts don’t take an hour.”

Not to worry, though. It’s doable. Guys just have to up their beauty game.

“We can add on a conditioning treatment or another service,” she said.

It was a hit. Since then, other new famous faces have been added to the Barney clan. Ashley Judd. Johnny Depp. Washington’s own Hilary Swank.

David Barney, owner of Barney’s Pastrami on Evergreen Way in Everett, has photos of dozens of celebrities on the wall of his restaurant — all with their last names changed to Barney.

Plastic lawn furniture is as fancy as it gets at the four-table diner at 5130 Evergreen Way. It sits in a nondescript plaza, between a camera repair shop and a mobile device store. If you didn’t know it was there, you wouldn’t know it was there.

But once people come, they come back for more. More pastrami. More Barney.

“People say they want their photos up there, and I say, ‘Bring it in and I’ll put it up, I promise,’” he said.

Nobody has taken him up on it.

DAILY CROSSWORD

Ask 70-year-old father his reason for not visiting Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi Carolyn!

My healthy-enough-to-travel 70-year-old father just told my mother he doesn’t feel like taking a trip to see me. They’ve visited me at least annually for 20 years and it’s something we all look forward to, or so I thought. After I got over the initial sting of rejection by realizing it wasn’t personal, my emotions ran from concern (“He’s becoming more and more of a shut-in”), to annoyance (“He’s just being lazy,” “He would flip if I don’t visit them as planned”), to helplessness (“What can I realistically do from 250 miles away?”).

Can you give me some tips for sorting myself out, especially so that I don’t endlessly loop back to annoyance/rejection, which isn’t a healthy place to be? — Feeling Rejected I know this is one of the hardest resting states to sustain, but what suits this situation best is a calm wait-and-see. Your father could just be slowing down normally; he could have a health issue that’s just starting to announce itself; he could be in the middle of a tiring stretch of life right now, and bounce back to eager traveling after he catches his breath.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT These can sneak up on people of any age.

And if he is just lazy — don’t we all have that right sometimes?

Sure, it’s not fair for him to be lazy and then scold you for doing the same down the road — if that indeed is what’s happening and it’s not just your imagination talking — but even then, you’re an adult. You can look at that and say to yourself, “Whatever, Dad,” and shake it off based on two decades of mutual, faithful attention.

So, keep living your life as you see fit and grant him leeway to do the same; overrule your impulses to respond emotionally; and keep an eye open to whatever comes next.

Remember, too — past performance does not guarantee future results. Somehow, at some point, this 20-year ritual was destined to change. If you can find a way to be

Re: Dad rejection: Why “wait and see”? If “Rejected” is so close to pops, why not pick up the phone and ask why he doesn’t feel like visiting?

Chances are about 99.9 percent that it has nothing to do with how he feels about Rejected.

— Anonymous I meant wait and see about any larger meaning but, yes, a call could nip this. It’s also possible pops wouldn’t tell or wouldn’t be able to tell the whole story; remember, Rejected heard this via Mom. Re: Rejection: My mother visits regularly, but the first time she turned down an invitation I was surprised. She’s a widow and I had this view of her just sitting around the house missing my father and going to the occasional prayer group and waiting to visit me so she could dote on her grandkids. She’s actually very active, travels to visit a lot of other friends, has a lot of friends visit her and occasionally just needs a break.

It took me a while to realize that.

Gay grandma is unhappy being kept from grandkids Dear Abby: I came out of the closet when my son was 4. I thought I had taught him not to judge because of a label. He’s now 30, with a wife and two adorable children who own my heart.

When my granddaughter was born, my partner and I were at the hospital and have visited with them often and they with us.

However, after my grandson was born last year, my son quit speaking to me.

I have asked him numerous times what the issue is. His response is: “I have to protect my children from people who are gay.

I don’t want them to know anyone who is gay.” His wife and her family are very religious, and I feel this is the real reason. What can I do? — Heartbroken Gay Granny Dear Hearbroken: If your son is under the mistaken impression that he is going to somehow “protect” his children by isolating them from gay people, he must be living in an alternate reality. Does he also plan to emigrate to the moon?

I suspect you have put your finger squarely on the reason why your son is now ostracizing you. His wife appears to wield the power in that family, and could benefit by learning more about homosexuality AND her religion, which I assume preaches love and tolerance for one’s fellow man rather than judgment and exclusion.

You can’t force your son and his wife to have contact with you if they don’t want to. Leave open the possibility that they may, over time, reconcile their love for you with their faith.

For your own emotional well-being, it’s important you find other outlets for your maternal instincts and go on with your life RIP HAYWIRE

Dear Abby: My boyfriend is a widower. We have been dating for more than a year.

He has his house and I have mine.

How do I suggest we get another bed at his place?

I try to have him come to my home as often as I can.

But there are still times we end up at his house, and it’s creepy. — Sleeping Poorly In Florida Dear Sleeping Poorly: I agree. Tell him how you feel and suggest the two of you select a new mattress for his bed together. You have been a couple long enough that you should be able to speak frankly with him.

When East wins the first spade, he should wonder why South, who is marked with the nine, didn’t play the six from dummy, making it ineffective for East to continue spades. A logical answer: South has made it easy for East to continue spades because he wants to avoid a shift — which can only be to diamonds. If East leads the king of diamonds at Trick Two, South will surely fail.

St. Martin’s Press announced Wednesday that it had acquired A.E. Hotchner’s “Hemingway in Love.” Hotchner, 94, befriended Hemingway in the 1940s and would later write a

controversial biography, “Papa Hemingway,” that came out in 1966. The author’s widow, Mary Hemingway, attempted unsuccessfully to block publication, alleging that Hotchner had included private conversations without permission.

According to St. Martin’s, Hotchner will draw upon taped

conversations and “assiduous” notes to provide new details on Hemingway’s romantic life in Paris, where he lived in the 1920s.

Hotchner said in a statement that he left out the material from the first biography because some people involved were still alive.

B5

Here are the features missing from Monday’s Herald due to a production error.

Couple can overcome challenges of age gap Dear Abby: I am dating a man, “Richard,” who is significantly older — 17 years, actually. I’m in my mid-20s. I have no problem with it, as I have always been attracted to men who are older and have their lives together.

My parents are cool with it, but I know they have their reservations. Richard is not a sugar daddy; I don’t love him for his money.

I have my own success. I don’t have “daddy issues,” as my father is an amazing person who has raised me and my siblings well. My parents are still together and are great role models.

My friends can’t find anything in common with Richard when we all hang out. It seems everyone around us is giving us grief — including his parents. I understand the concern, but how can I convince everyone that I’m happy and willing to take this relationship wherever it goes? — Age Is Just A Number Dear Age: The way to do that is simply to BE happy and take the relationship one step at a time. While you’re doing that, accept that relationships with this kind of age disparity are not without challenges.

The friends you have now may never be comfortable around Richard, and you may have to make new ones closer to his age.

Also, the women may look askance at you for being so young.

These things can be overcome. What bothers me about this scenario is that this man’s parents are weighing in. By now one would think they would have accepted that their son is an adult and capable of making his own decisions about the women in his life.

THE NEW YORK TIMES CROSSWORD PUZZLE 5 10 14 15 16 17 18

DEAR ABBY Dear Abby: A good friend and I are having a disagreement. My 17-yearold son has a 16-year-old girlfriend. I know they are sexually active.

I spoke to my son and asked if she’s on the pill.

He said her mom refuses to put her on the pill. I gave my son $10, had a long talk about unwanted pregnancy, and told him to buy a box of condoms every few weeks and bring me the receipt so I know the money is being spent on condoms.

My problem is, my friend disagrees with me about what I did. She accused me of encouraging them.

If I had a daughter, I’d buy the pill for her, so why not pay for condoms for my son? Who is right and who is wrong here? — Missouri Mom Dear Missouri Mom: The girl’s mother may think that by not providing her sexually active daughter with birth control, she is discouraging her from having sex. Clearly that hasn’t happened. Of course you are right to make sure your son doesn’t impregnate his girlfriend. Neither one of them is ready for the financial and emotional responsibility of a child.

Something I’m unclear about is why your friend is trying to guilt you out of it, when she should be minding her own business.

Please tell her I said so.

City of Lynnwood Notice of Decision EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT MAINTENANCE AND TRANSPORTATION FACILITY PROJECT DESIGN REVIEW (PDR-002124-2014) On January 20, 2015 the Community Development Director approved a Project Design Review application to construct a new two-story, 56,200 square foot maintenance and transportation facility. The 19.2 acre site would also have a 6,700 square foot fuel and wash island as well as a 2,000 square foot outdoor storage area. Parking will be provided for 158 buses, 50 maintenance and fleet vehicles and 275 staff/employee parking spaces. A wetland is located partially on-site for which mitigation will be required. The applicant has received Hearing Examiner approval for an increase in building height inclusive of the roof mechanical structures (twelve feet over the code 35 ft. height limitation) and a reduction of the landscape requirements on the north and south perimeters.

The development site is located at approximately 20525 52nd Ave. W. and is zoned Light Industrial (LI).

An earlier version of this project had been approved by the City. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (2006CUP0002) was approved by the Hearing Examiner on July 9, 2007 and a PDR (2007PDR0005) was approved by the Community Development Director on August 10, 2007. Both the previous CUP and PDR expired requiring the submittal of new applications for development.

A new CUP decision (PDR-002063-2014) was issued by the Hearing Examiner on November 12, 2014. The Examiner issued a clerical correction to the November 12th decision on November 20, 2014 which reflected bus parking of 158 vehicles.

A SEPA MDNS was issued by Edmonds School District (as lead agency) on April 4, 2007 for 132,000 sq. ft. of building area, a 6,700 sq. ft. fuel area, 152 buses, 116 service vehicles and 488 parking spaces for staff and visitors. The SEPA Mitigation measures were related to mitigation for the wetland and transportation improvements. A SEPA addendum was issued by the ESD on November 4, 2014, which removed as a condition of approval of the 2007 SEPA MDNS, the construction of a sidewalk on the south side of 204th Street SW. Conditions of Approval: The following conditions of approval must be fulfilled prior to issuance of the Building Permits: 1. Provide landscape plan verifying compliance with 20 foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to 52nd Avenue W. (All Districts Location of Parking Lots Guideline #3) 2. Provide landscape plan illustrating four-foot wide overhang where parking is adjacent to landscaping (All-District Parking Lot Landscaping Guideline #5).

3. Provide cut sheets and specifications for exterior lighting that meet all Commercial District Lighting requirements, subject to staff approval (All Districts Lighting Guidelines #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

4. Provide landscape and fence plans illustrating a vinyl cover cyclone fence and the following landscaping (All Districts Guidelines Walls and Fences Guideline #2): * North perimeter - Five foot wide buffer, evergreen trees thirty feet on center and shrubs to a height of four feet. * South perimeter - No landscaping where fence is behind the berm and hedge (approximately the first 300 feet of fence from the west property line). The remainder of the perimeter to consist of code required plantings in a 10 foot wide buffer. * West perimeter - Code required plantings in a 10 foot wide buffer.

The complete decision and/or findings of fact and conclusions of law are available for review at the City of Lynnwood Community Development Department located at 4114 198th St. SW, Suite #7, Lynnwood, WA. When requesting any infor mation on this application please use the file number and file name indicated above.

Any person who participated in the decision may appeal the Director’s decision by filing a written request with the Community Development Department by 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., within 14 days of the decision, Tuesday, February 3, 2015.

Any affected property owner may request a change in valuation for property tax purposes resulting from this action, notwithstanding any program of revaluation.

CITY OF LYNNWOOD NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING LOWE’S SPECIAL USE PERMIT MODIFICATION/ CONDITONAL USE PERMIT AND SIGN VARIANCE (File No. CUP-001937-2014) Application and Project Description: On July 29, 2014, Ed Hale, of 4G Development and Consulting, representing Lowes Homes Centers (Lowes), submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to modify a Special Use Permit (SUP) that was granted, subject to 18 conditions, by the City Council in 1994 for construction of an Eagle Hardware (now Lowes). 16 of the conditions related to development of the site and were satisfied during, or prior to, construction. One of these conditions prohibited Lowes from constructing a freestanding sign (pole sign). The other condition related to outdoor storage which current City Code (LMC 21.46.110(B)) better addresses.

Lowes has applied to remove the pole sign prohibition; Staff will, however, recommend that the entire SUP be repealed. If the Hearing Examiner approves the modification as requested by the Applicant, they (Lowes) would then erect a pole sign meeting the requirements of Chapter 21.16 LMC (Signs) in the northwest corner of the property. The applicant is also requesting a sign variance to reduce the required setback from the 196th St. SW right of way for placement of a new monument sign and to increase the height allowance of the proposed sign. The application was deemed complete on August 13, 2014.

Location: The site is located at 3100 196th St. SW. Conditional Use Permit Approval: The proposal will be reviewed for compliance with City of Lynnwood requirements.

Sign Variance: The proposal will be reviewed for compliance with the variance criteria in Chapter 21.26 as well as Chapter 21.16.320.LMC. Public Hearing: A Public Hearing before the Lynnwood Hearing Examiner will be held at the Lynnwood Civic Center, Council Chambers at 19100 44th Ave. W, Lynnwood, WA at 2:00 PM on Thursday, February 12, 2015.

HOROSCOPE Happy Birthday: Take care of responsibilities and prepare to move forward.

Living in the past or harboring regrets will hold you back. Forge ahead with optimism and the intent to give your all and reach your goals. Don’t let what others do cost you. Your numbers are 6, 13, 21, 27, 33, 39, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Participate and give back to your community or someone who has been there for you in the past.

You will attract the attention of someone who can and will benefit you. ���� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When dealing with time or money management, you will be at a loss. Put your energy into something that will help you get ahead. Try to learn more and be positive about new developments. �� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Consider your options and it will become clear what you should do next. Follow your heart and assess what needs to be changed in your life to make things better. Doing your own thing will bring positive results. ����� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Concentrate on financial deals or adding value to something you already own. Don’t be afraid to take a unique journey to reach your destination. Changing your attitude will bring interesting results. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Time is precious, and you can accomplish plenty if you focus on what’s important to you. Think big and work in conjunction with people who are intent on reaching similar goals. ��� VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Step up and

share your unique plans with others. A change in the way you live may be necessary in order to follow your dreams. Get together with people who are heading in the same direction as you. ��� LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t worry about what others do or say. Stand up and be counted and you will make a difference. Your participation in various affairs will show others you are not one to push around. ����� SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t overlook fine but important details that can affect an important relationship. Let your intuition guide you when it comes to matters of a personal nature. ���� SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take on more if it will allow you to show your finer attributes. A chance to impress someone who may be able to help you reach your goals will present itself. ��� CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Emotional matters will set you back if you don’t take control and put your plans in motion before it’s too late. You don’t have to follow the crowd, and you shouldn’t pay for others’ mistakes. ��� AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep your intentions a secret until you are sure you can deliver. Planning something special will bring high returns. Expanding your awareness, your family or your expectations is within reach. ��� PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep an eye out for anyone trying to mislead you. Jealousy is likely to take place if someone you compete with gets ahead. Use your energy to get ahead, not to find fault in what someone else does. ��� Universal Uclick

Lynnwood girls lose first game Todd Beamer beats Royals 55-43

By David Krueger Herald Writer

KENT — Todd Beamer gave Everett Edwards exactly what he wanted.

“We’ve been on a heck of a run.

We look for losses,” the Lynnwood head coach said. “We schedule tough to try to play the best teams and to play teams that are going to challenge us.”

The Titans, the No. 3 4A team in the Associated Press poll, handed 3A No. 1 Lynnwood its first loss of the season, with a 55-43 win over the Royals in the King Showcase at the ShoWare Center Monday afternoon.

The loss was Lynnwood’s first since a state semifinal game on March 7, 2014.

“It was a good game. We scheduled tough and we looked to play the top teams and Todd Beamer is one of the top teams here in the state of Washington,” Edwards said. “They played great defensively. It’s the first time we met a team that played that style of defense where it had us a little bit uncomfortable.”

Lynnwood (12-1 overall), which is known for its aggressive defense, found itself on the other side against the Titans. The Royals led by as many as eight in the first half, but Todd Beamer overtook Lynnwood with an 11-3 run to start the third.

Mykitiuk has a point to make The Silvertips’ Jake Mykitiuk, who began his WHL career in Prince George, is looking forward to Everett’s two road games against the Cougars.

By Nick Patterson Herald writer

needing only a field goal to win the game.

Then again, that overtime drive never happens if backup wide receiver Chris Matthews doesn’t recover an onside kick late in the fourth quarter to set up Seattle’s go-ahead touchdown.

And there’s a very good chance that dramatic comeback wouldn’t have been possible had backup offensive tackle Garry Gilliam not caught a touchdown pass from punter Jon Ryan on a fake field goal early in the third quarter.

So many big plays had to happen for the Seahawks to come back from a 16-point deficit against the Green Bay Packers. And while those plays were all very different in terms of what happened and who was

Jake Mykitiuk is headed to Prince George, B.C., with something to prove.

The Everett Silvertips winger is hoping to show the Prince George Cougars just what they’re missing.

Everett kicks off its second long road trip of the month when the Tips face the Cougars in games Tuesday and Wednesday at Prince George, and nobody is looking forward to those games more than Mykitiuk.

“I’m really excited,” Mykitiuk said about the prospect of facing his former team. “I haven’t been to Prince George since I left. I’m excited to see my old billets and some old buddies, for sure.”

Mykitiuk, a diminutive 19-yearold from St. Albert, Alberta, broke into the WHL with Prince George as a 16-year-old in 2011-12. He spent two seasons with the Cougars, totaling seven goals and 14 assists in 126 games. However, he was unceremoniously dumped

by Prince George during the 2013-14 preseason. He kicked around the Alberta Junior Hockey League for one-plus seasons before being handed a second WHL chance by the Tips earlier this season.

Mykitiuk has proven a good addition for Everett, especially for a player plucked off the waiver wire. He’s added some grit and attitude to the lineup, despite his 5-foot-7 frame. He’s also scored goals in each of Everett’s past two games since being placed on a line with leading scorer Nikita Scherbak. He’s hoping to keep his offensive momentum going against the team that released him a year-and-a-half ago.

Wilson, the sixth ranked team, and Glacier Peak, appeared to be a great matchup on paper.

By game’s end it proved to be a learning experience for the Grizzlies and Wilson proved itself worthy of its ranking, racing to an early lead and never letting it go, winning 77-55.

“They’re definitely a top-five team,” Glacier Peak head coach

Brian Hunter said. “They have aspirations of not going to state, but winning the state tournament. Those are probably valid hopes for them. For us, it’s a chance to see what we can be, how we can play and where we need to go to get to the level that we want to get to.

“I think we learned a lot about what it takes to kind of take that next step.”

Associated Press CORVALLIS, Oregon — Jamie Weisner felt the best way for her to help Oregon State was to score, especially with Washington’s defense swarming Beavers center Ruth Hamblin with weak-side help.

“That opened up the outside for me to hit open shots,” Weisner said.

The junior guard scored 26 points, shooting 6-of-9 on 3-pointers, and No. 9 Oregon State held off Washington 75-67 Monday night.

Hamblin added 19 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks for the Beavers (16-1, 6-0 Pac-12), who only have lost at Tennessee this season.

“I thought we showed a ton of heart in closing this one out,” said Oregon State coach Scott Rueck. “Executed well on both ends of the floor, got the

rebounds we needed and so I thought it was another gut-check win that showed the character of this team,” he added.

Talia Walton had 22 points and Jazmine Davis added 15 for the Huskies (14-4, 3-3).

“I think Oregon State is one of the best teams in the country on both ends of the floor,” said Washington coach Mike Neighbors. His team, shooting 45. 2 percent from the floor for the season, hit 32.8 percent on Monday.

The Huskies trailed 68-67 with less than two minutes left, but Weisner was fouled on a drive and sank both free throws. Washington guard Kelsey Plum was stripped by Ali Gibson on the next possession, and Hamblin then scored for the Beavers to give Oregon State a 72-67 lead.

Neither team was able to gain much separation early, and the

game was tied at 22-all when Oregon State went on a 12-3 run capped by a Weisner jumper with 3:18 left in the first half.

Weisner had eight points during that stretch, while the Huskies missed seven of eight shots.

The Beavers went into the break up 34-30.

Washington trailed by as many as 9 in the second half.

The Huskies clawed back, going on a 13-2 run to take the lead, 63-60 on a Walton 3-pointer with 6:26 remaining.

The Beavers outrebounded the Huskies 46-35.

Hamblin was leading the Beavers with 14.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game entering Monday.

Plum came into the game averaging 25.4 points, the second-best mark in the nation.

She had 10 points on 3-of-16 shooting.

Djokovic, Wawrinka advance at Australian Open

By John Pye Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Four-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic returned to Rod Laver Arena for the first time as a husband and father, shrugging off the effects of a cold to beat No. 16-ranked Aljaz Bedene 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 in his first-round match on Tuesday.

Djokovic won the first of his seven major titles at the 2008 Australian Open, then won here in three consecutive years from 2011 to 2013.

His 25-match winning streak at Melbourne Park ended in a quarterfinal loss to Stan Wawrinka, who went on to win the title.

Wawrinka began the defense of a major crown for the first time with a 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 win over No. 100-ranked Marsel Ilhan, taking less than 11⁄2 hours to breeze through the first round.

In a breakthrough 2014 season, Wawrinka claimed his first Grand Slam title, reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 and helped Roger Federer win the Davis Cup for Switzerland

for the first time.

He warmed up for the season-opening major by successfully defending his title at the Chennai Open.

“It’s great, bringing me a lot of memories from last year,” Wawrinka said of his return.

“It was great to come back here feeling happy, happy with my game.”

Top-ranked Djokovic had the next match on center court and appeared to be tired and still recovering from illness after his match, saying he’d had a “rough two weeks health-wise but I’m getting up there.”

His mood changed suddenly when a court-side interview turned to reflections of 2014, when he won Wimbledon for the second time, married his long-time partner, Jelena, and the couple had a son, Stefan.

“Well those two events are the two most beautiful events I experienced in my life,” he said. “Stefan, he’s a blessing we received ... now I have even more motivation.”

Two other men widely considered to be in the next generation of major winners advanced in straight sets, with

No. 5 Kei Nishikori beating Nicolas Almagro 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-2 and No. 8 Milos Raonic firing 30 aces in a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3), 6-3 win against qualifier Illya Marchenko.

No. 12 Feliciano Lopez struggled past American wild-card entry Denis Kudla 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, 10-8, No. 18 Gilles Simon beat Robin Haase 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 and No. 19 John Isner beat Taiwanese qualifier Jimmy Wang 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4.

No. 16 Fabio Fognini lost in four sets to Alejando Gonzalez.

Nishikori, returning to Grand Slam action for the first time since his run to the U.S. Open final, dropped his opening service game but recovered the break quickly and weathered a difficult opening match against Almagro.

Nishikori is coming off a big year in 2014, when he became the first Asian man to reach a Grand Slam singles final. He’s determined to go one better and win a major.

“Yeah for sure that was one of my best results in my career that gave me a lot of confidence,” the Japanese star said.

“I beat a lot of top 10 players.”

Offensively, the Rams were too much for the Grizzlies to overcome. Wilson put up 44 points and shot over 60 percent from the field in the first half.

“They shot the ball so well,” Hunter said. “They are very difficult the way they can attack the rim and shoot the basketball.”

The Grizzlies didn’t have an answer for Wilson junior guard David Jenkins, who scored 20 points before halftime and helped the Rams build a 45-25 lead.

The lead proved to be insurmountable, but the Grizzlies defense did clamp down on Jenkins in the second half, holding him to just two more points.

“He did a really nice job of getting to the basket and he shot the ball well from three as well, but we were trying to make him earn a little bit more,” Hunter said of the defense’s second-half effort against Jenkins. “For whatever reason, his looks were maybe a little too easy for him in the first half, so

Tood Beamer 11 8 18 18 — Lynnwood 15 11 4 13 —

in the second half I think we played a little bit more focused as a team on defense and collectively the guys did a little bit better of a job of finding him and making him work a little bit.”

The improved defense helped Glacier Peak slowly chip away at the Wilson’s lead. Glacier Peak was never able to get any closer than 12 points in the second half, but Hunter saw his team battle throughout and some individual performances the team can build on.

Junior Zach Argue and his older brother, senior Jacob Argue, have both struggled with injuries at times this season. On Monday, both played well in spurts. Zach scored nine of his 11 points in the first half and Jacob scored all five of his in the fourth quarter.

“They battled and we need that out of those guys,” Hunter said. “They have different skill-sets, but one thing that they both do is they both play extremely hard.”

Other players played well at times for the Grizzlies, but overall they just didn’t shoot the ball well enough to win. The poor shooting started with a 3-for11 effort in the first quarter and

persisted through the majority of the game.

“I felt like we actually had shots that we wanted to shoot,” Hunter said. “We had some inside stuff that I thought was pretty effective. Our guys have hit those shots all year. It’s high-school sports and it’s basketball. Those (shots) don’t always go in.”

The Rams were able to extend the lead back up to 20-plus late in the fourth quarter, but the Grizzlies never stopped putting out maximum effort, something that Hunter said is a good sign with his team in the hunt for a Wesco 3A South championship.

“It’s a simple play and it doesn’t mean a whole lot and it doesn’t show up in the scorebook, but with 10 seconds to go Austin Petz was diving for a loose ball in front of our bench.

To me, that’s how you win league championships, district titles and go to state. Our kids our ingrained with the fact that they play as hard as they can and our kids put effort on the floor.”

Scherzer, Nats agree to 7-year, $210 million deal Associated Press WASHINGTON — AL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer will become the highest-paid right-handed pitcher in major league history after agreeing to a $210 million, seven-year contract with the Washington Nationals that includes a record $50 million signing bonus.

Scherzer’s signing bonus tops the previous high of $30 million for any player, given by the Cubs to pitcher Jon Lester this offseason. Scherzer plans to establish residency in Florida, which would shield his signing bonus from D.C. income tax, the person familiar with the negotiations said.

Kamiak’s Mack headed to HOF Herald Staff

Back on the mat

After a year in which low turnout forced Archbishop Murphy to disband its wrestiling program, the school is once again fielding a team

By David Krueger Herald Writer

A poster hanging in Archbishop Murphy wrestling coach Blaine Gilchrist-Smith’s office shows the members of his 201415 team dressed in Western regalia under the heading “Back in the saddle.”

The Murphy wrestling program, established in 2003, disbanded last season when Gilchrist-Smith couldn’t get enough wrestlers to field a team. This year, his recruiting efforts were more successful, and the result has been a new beginning for the Wildcats, who proudly wear sweatshirts that read: “Murphy Wrestling reestablished 2014.”

“That’s the whole idea,” Gilchrist-Smith said. “We lost it, now we’re back. It’s going to get bigger and better like it was initially.”

The wrestlers are excited to be back on the mat. Several, such as senior captain Sean Callaghan, wrestled at other high schools last season. Callaghan and former Wildcat Foster Wade competed at Stanwood High School, where Wade won a state title at 195 pounds.

“It was kind of weird,” Callaghan said. “It was nice being back there, but it’s nice being back here at your

Royals From Page C1

The third quarter was when things began to get away from the Royals, who were outscored 18-4 in the period. Lynnwood missed 19 straight shot attempts over a nine-minute period that spanned the third and fourth quarters.

“That third quarter got us,” Edwards said. “Bria Rice got loose in transition a little bit and was able to get into our six- and seven-point lead. I think that got their confidence going and the doubt going into our minds.”

Monty Cooper capped a late Lynnwood rally that got the Royals to within one point, 41-40, with a 3-pointer at 2:58 left in the game. But that’s as close as the Royals would get. Lynnwood

actual school. I love Stanwood, but it’s good to be back here.”

Others took a year off from wrestling. Senior Reagan Gordon spent the winter sports season recovering from football and working in the weight room.

He’s thrilled to have the opportunity to compete again during his final year of high school.

“Not having last year really sucked. You missed it,” Gordon said. “Coming back this year, you just have to pick up where you left off. You kind of get back in the swing of things.”

Missing just one year can set a wrestler back quite a bit, Gilchrist-Smith said.

“We have a lot of students who missed a year completely,” the coach said. “It takes a long time to develop the skills that you need to be competitive at the varsity level. It definitely set us back. ... But they’ve done a really good job. They’ve worked hard and improved a lot.”

The Wildcats got to show their peers what wrestling is all about in a daytime exhibition match against Lakewood on Dec. 12 that was designed to showcase the sport to the student body.

“They’re starting to embrace it a lot more here,” Callaghan said of the students. “Before, when

we had a team, nobody really knew about it but now they’ve heard about it and a bunch of kids have started coming to matches. It’s pretty fun.”

As one might suspect, there have been ups and downs for Murphy in its first season back.

“Our No. 1 goal is to get reestablished and we did that, so we can check it off the list. The other thing is we want to be competitive,” Gilchrist-Smith said. “… We want to make sure we can compete against them. And we have been for the most part.

“We got killed against Sultan (on Jan. 8). But they’re very good and we’re not at that level yet.

But that’s where we’d like to get.

We want to be more like Sultan, as far as being accomplished as a team. That will come in time.”

The wrestlers and their coach say there’s pressure being a team from Archbishop Murphy, which expects success from its athletic programs.

“We’re so successful here, athletically and academically speaking, that I think it’s probably tough, psychologically, to come in here as a freshman, tryout for wrestling and then get beat in your matches,” Gilchrist-Smith said. “That’s going to happen.

You’re going to get beat. And all of your classmates are on teams

that are winning. That’s hard to do. … You’ve got to be patient. It’s going to take at least two years.”

Watching those new wrestlers is fun for the Wildcat veterans, who remember when they first started out.

“We’ve had a lot of new kids.

It’s been a lot of working on the basics and stuff,” said Callaghan, who’s been wrestling for better than 10 years. “It’s really fun to pass the sport on down to a bunch of new kids and see a lot of potential in the new guys who just scrap. It’s really cool. Especially the kids who wrestled their sophomore year, but weren’t able to wrestle their junior year but are back. It’s fun to watch them get back in the swing of things.”

Some wrestlers, including Callaghan and junior Euiseok Jeong, hope to make a run at a state title. Others, such as Gordon, “just want to have fun and know that I gave it my all, no matter what place I take.”

Regardless of how far they get, the biggest thing for the Murphy wrestlers is to make sure what happened last year doesn’t happen again.

“It was kind of a sad thing,” Jeong said. “But now it’s time to rebuild our team.

“We have a new start.”

scored three points the rest of the way as Todd Beamer (13-1) made free throws to pull away and clinch the victory.

“I love our effort,” Edwards said. “There was a point where we were down 10 points with about five minutes to go and things were looking bleak — like we were about to get blown out and we made a few adjustments and we made a run and I think we cut it to (one).”

Rice led the Titans with 16 points and nine rebounds. Quinessa Caylao-Do scored 14 points and Makenna Woodfolk added 11 — with both players making key free throws late for Todd Beamer.

The Titans forced three shotclock violations by Lynnwood in the second quarter as the Royals tried to pass around Todd Beamer’s defense. Both defenses shined, forcing double-digit

turnovers for each team — 12 for Todd Beamer and 10 for Lynnwood — in the first half.

Lynnwood began the second half with a lot of the same. A steal

by Reily Walsh led to a steal by Todd Beamer’s Quinessa CaylaoDo. Both teams finished with nine steals and 16 turnovers apiece.

“It’s a big win, a big confidence boost,” said Todd Beamer head coach Corey Alexander.

“To have the challenge like this, to beat the No. 1 team in 3A, it’s a big confidence boost. A couple of months ago it would’ve been a close game. They probably would have took it to us. It shows where we’ve matured at.”

Royals junior Mikayla Pivec posted a double-double for Lynnwood with 16 points and 15 rebounds — both team highs.

Cooper scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds, as did

sophomore Kelsey Rogers.

Despite the loss, Edwards believes the loss will be a positive for Lynnwood as it hopes to make another deep run at the state tournament. The Royals lost one non-league game last season, to Cleveland, in a year where they finished third at the state tournament.

“I truly believe that this loss could be the best thing that could happen to us at this point in the season,” Edwards said. “This is the first loss that this group has had, starting from the summer. ... We love to play good teams. It’s really easy to schedule easy games and to try not to face adversity but we schedule tough. This game, it might not show now, but hopefully in a few weeks as we prepare for our district tournament we’re going to face some other adversity and we can draw on our experience here.”

Kamiak head coach Dan Mack will be inducted into the Washington State High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame on Saturday.

In an email to the Kamiak staff, Knights athletic director Sean Monica said he is extremely excited for the longtime Kamiak football coach.

“We are so proud that Coach Mack will be representing Kamiak High School as he accepts this prestigious award,” Monica wrote in the email. “Coach Mack has been an extremely successful football coach throughout his coaching career, but more importantly he has served as a mentor, a friend, and a positive role model for a countless number of young men in his football program. His tireless efforts have made a positive impact at Kamiak and in the Mukilteo community.”

Kamiak went 7-3 in 2014, finishing second in Wesco 4A and earning a berth in the 4A quaddistrict tournament, where the Knights fell 17-13 to Todd Beamer.

Local lacrosse players commit Two members of the Everett Lacrosse Club have made verbal commitments to play in college.

Defenseman Kain Davis, a senior at Marysville Pilchuck High School, has committed to Hood College, an NCAA Division III school in Frederick, Maryland.

Bradley Strong, a senior goalie from Jackson High School, has committed to play at Adams State University, an NCAA Division II school in Alamosa, Colorado.

Tips From Page C1

“That definitely would be nice if I could (score some goals),” Mykitiuk said. “But obviously the most important thing is going there and getting four points. But if I can chip in a little offensively that would be great, too.”

Tuesday’s game kicks off a challenging fourgames-in-five-nights trip for the Tips. First come two games against Prince George. Then on the way back to Washington Everett stops off in Kelowna for games Friday and Saturday against the league-leading Rockets.

The trip comes right on the heels of Everett’s sixgame swing through the East Division. The Tips were home less than a week from that trip before they headed out Sunday morning for Prince George. But Everett did well on its trip east, going 5-1, and the Tips are confident heading into this road trip, too.

“We’ve been ready,” winger Carson Stadnyk said. “Right after Christmas we knew these (road trips) were going to come quick.

“It’ll be hard, but we just have to play within our systems and have a lot of fun on the road,” Stadnyk added. “We have to play our game, not play their game, and not get into the stuff after the whistle.”

Everett will have to navigate the two games in Prince George minus a defensive stalwart.

Defenseman Noah Juulsen will not be with the team as he will be participating in the CHL Top Prospects Game in Toronto. The game, which features the 40 best draft-eligible players from the WHL, Ontario Hockey League and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, is Thursday.

Juulsen is Everett’s leading scorer among defensemen with 32 points (five goals, 27 assists) in 44 games, and he’s tied for second on the team in plus/minus with

a plus-19.

“He’s been a big part of our team this year,” Everett coach Kevin Constantine said. “He’s so productive for us offensively, he’s part of that (Ivan) Nikolishin powerplay group, he’s our top plus/minus defenseman.

We will miss him, he’s a very good player. But at the same time we’re just so excited for this opportunity because he’s worked incredibly hard over the last yearand-a-half. He’s earned his chance to be a part of that Top Prospects Game. As big a loss as it is for us, it’s a huge plus for him in his career and we’re proud of him for being able to be a part of that.”

Prince George also loses a key player to the Top Prospects Game as leading scorer Jansen Harkins is also taking part.

Juulsen is scheduled to meet the team in Kelowna on Friday and should be available for the games against the Rockets.

Around the WHL Brandon Magee became the all-time leading scorer in Victoria-Chilliwack franchise history. The 20-yearold forward had an assist in the Royals’ 4-3 overtime victory at Edmonton on Sunday, giving him 242 career points. That bests the previous franchise mark of 241 points set by Kevin Sundher. ... Tri-City received a commitment from one of its top prospects when 15-year-old forward Michael Rasmussen, the team’s first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2014 bantam draft, signed a WHL education contract with the Americans. ... Brandon’s Tim McGauley was named the WHL Player of the Week. The 19-year-old forward had two goals and four assists as the Wheat Kings went 3-0.

SEAHAWKS | Notebook

From page C1

involved, the four huge plays highlighted above all had one thing in common.

On some of the most meaningful plays in one of the biggest wins in franchise history, at least one undrafted player was prominently involved.

There are plenty of impressive things that head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider have done to turn the Seahawks into a championshipwinning franchise. But one of the most impressive is their ability to find, then develop, talent that other teams deemed unworthy.

It’s routine for the Seahawks to get big contributions from players who went undrafted out of college. Baldwin and Kearse, Seattle’s starting receivers this season, were passed over through seven rounds by all 32 teams in (Baldwin) 2011 and (earse) 2012. Carroll doesn’t even think about how unusual it is unless somebody else brings it up.

“That’s kind of how it’s just been,” Carroll said. “We’re kind of numb to that right now, but it’s the facts. That’s why we talk about the work that John and his guys have done. It’s illustrated so many times with so many great examples of finding guys and getting them into the system, and then they play winning football for us.”

Sure Wilson was a third-round pick, despite a decorated college career, because of his size. But compared to many of his teammates who stepped up Sunday afternoon, Wilson was a hot commodity on draft weekend.

Before Gilliam could catch a touchdown pass that helped spark one of the greatest rallies in Seattle sports history, he went undrafted out of Penn State. Then had to fight for a roster spot in training camp as a rookie last summer.

And before Matthews could recover the onside kick Sunday, he had to hone his craft in the Canadian Football League for two seasons after going undrafted in 2011 and briefly spending time with the Cleveland Browns.

Matthews, who wasn’t even added to Seattle’s active roster until Dec. 6 — he spent most of the season on and off the practice squad — has never caught a pass in an NFL game. But he made a role for himself on special teams and ended up catching a bouncing ball that helped prolong the season.

(We’re leaving Ryan, who threw the touchdown to Gilliam, out of the discussion because almost all teams find their punters outside of the draft. Well except for teams that decide to take a punter in the third round, five picks before Wilson. ... Sorry, Jacksonville Jaguars fans).

Kearse was so excited for his fellow undrafted receiver that on Monday he cut off a question to say, “Can I talk about the Chris Matthews play? That was huge.”

“I talk to Chris a lot. And just to see his progression, even when he was on the practice squad. And when he got elevated to the 53 (active roster), just to see him maximize his opportunities is definitely joyful because I talk to him a lot.

“And for him to make a humungous play like that — that may be the play of the game right there. For him to get the onside and have a heads up play like that was truly incredible.

“It’s what Pete instills with his philosophy and this organization of just competing,” Kearse said. “He gives everyone an equal opportunity to compete and I feel like that brings the best out of players.”

It’s hardly unique for a football coach to preach competition, to tell veterans that no job is safe. But few teams, if any, are as committed to that philosophy as the Seahawks.

Year in and year out, undrafted players beat out those picked ahead of them for roster spots.

Whether it was safety Jeron Johnson beating out fifth-round pick Mark Legree in 2011. Or Alvin Bailey, who started Sunday’s game at right tackle, winning a roster spot last year ahead of seventh-round pick Ryan Seymour. Or fourth-round picks like defensive end E.J. Wilson and wide receiver Chris Harper not being able to out-play undrafted players at their positions.

As odd as it sounds, the Seahawks in a way are proud about the picks that don’t work out. Because it shows their willingness to give everyone an equal shot at playing time. Before the draft, the Seahawks send player agents a 12-page document that is essentially a recruiting brochure for undrafted rookies, detailing how the Seahawks have cut more draft picks under Carroll and Schneider than all but one team in the league.

“History has shown that the Seahawks keep and develop the Undrafted Free Agents they sign, even at the expense of draft choices,” the document concludes.

“The Seahawks are more likely than most teams to give your Undrafted Free Agent play time in the preseason, giving your client the best opportunity to make the Seahawks or other team’s roster.”

For five seasons, we’ve seen how Schneider’s knack for finding hidden gems and Carroll’s openness to competition have helped turn the Seahawks into contenders. And on Sunday, in four very huge plays, undrafted players played pivotal roles in sending the Seahawks back to the Super Bowl.

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman sprained his left elbow in Sunday’s NFC championship game agaisnt the Green Bay Packers.

DBs Sherman, Thomas are expected to play in Super Bowl

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — After finishing Sunday’s NFC championship game with injuries, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and free safety Earl Thomas were insistent that they would be fine for the Super Bowl in two weeks.

A day later, there were no reasons to doubt those guarantees from Seattle’s All-Pro defensive backs.

Thomas dislocated his shoulder, which had to be reset during the game, then came back after missing a series.

Sherman hurt his elbow on the first play of the fourth quarter after being hit by strong safety Kam Chancellor as the two made a tackle at the sideline. Sherman never left the game, but played the rest of the way one-armed while pinning his left arm against his body.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll gave no update on either player, saying, “No, I have nothing yet. ... I don’t have anything on anybody that is getting the MRIs and stuff like that yet, sorry.”

But not long after Carroll didn’t have an update in his press conference, reports from the league’s website and from ESPN said Sherman had a sprain and would be OK, confirming what he said after the game. ESPN also reported that Thomas’ injury is a non-issue going forward.

After the game, Thomas, shoulder heavily wrapped, said, “I’ll be fine. I’ll be fine.

There’s too much at stake for me to be sitting in here while my teammates are out there battling. I’m going to be out there with my teammates no matter what.”

Sherman, whose father had to help him put on his shirt in the locker room after Sunday’s game, said “I’ll be out there, I promise that. ... I will 100 percent be able to play.”

While Carroll had no update on the injuries, he reiterated how impressed he was with the way both toughed it out to finish the game.

“It’s worth mentioning again the effort that those guys put out,” he said. “... Both of those guys were in dire straits — could they play? They didn’t flinch, not for a second. When they played, they played their hearts out.

“Their courage and toughness and standing up for who they are and what they mean to this team couldn’t have been more evident. Their willingness to throw their bodies out there again to try to finish this game — and they would not allow it to be any other way — it was so impressive, it really was.

“There are a lot of guys who do that, it was just really symbolic,” Carroll said. Here’s Earl with the big brace on his shoulder back out there playing, and Richard couldn’t straighten his arm out.”

NFL investigating whether Patriots used deflated footballs

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

The NFL is investigating whether the New England Patriots deflated footballs that were used in their AFC championship game victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

“We are looking into it,” league spokesman Brian McCarthy wrote in an email to The Associated Press on Monday.

“We’ll cooperate fully with whatever the league wants us to, whatever questions they ask,” Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said Monday during his regular conference call with reporters.

He said he was unaware there was an issue until Monday morning.

The Patriots have come under scrutiny with regards to NFL rules in the past, most infamously when they were punished for videotaping sideline signals used by the New York Jets during a 2007 game. Belichick was fined

$500,000, and the team was docked $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft pick.

According to the NFL rule book, home teams are responsible for furnishing playable balls at all times.

Each team brings 12 primary balls, while home teams are required to also bring 12 backup balls.

Once the referee makes sure the footballs are properly inflated, they’re delivered to ball attendants provided by the home team.

The league’s game operations manual notes: “If any individual alters the footballs, or if a non-approved ball is used in the game, the person responsible and, if appropriate, the head coach or other club personnel will be subject to discipline, including but not limited to, a fine of $25,000.”

Deflating a football could change the way it would be gripped by a player or the way it travels through the air.

Other injuries Only two players on Seattle’s current 53-man roster missed the NFC championship game because of injuries, with right tackle Justin Britt sitting out because of a sore knee, and backup safety Jeron Johnson missing a second game after dislocating his elbow in the regular season finale. Both practiced last week, however, and with another weekend off before the Super Bowl, Carroll sounded optimistic about both making it back, even saying Britt could have suited up for Sunday’s game.

Quinn to Atlanta?

According to multiple reports, the Atlanta Falcons were in Seattle Monday for another interview with Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn and plan to make him their new head coach after the Super Bowl. The Seahawks losing Quinn would hardly be a surprise. Going back to last season it seemed inevitable he’d get a head coaching job eventually. And Carroll said the possibility of Quinn interviewing this week wouldn’t be a distraction.

“It comes along with the good fortune that guys get good opportunities like that,” Carroll said. “I am pretty wide open and flexible about making sure that it works out, and that it won’t be a distraction. There will be questions and stuff like that that will come up.

“But we have such a big mission that we are on and Dan wants nothing more than doing exactly right to help us do what we have to do these next couple of days and the next week. He has no intention other than that. He is dead solid on that, so that’s what we will get.

But some logical questions will come out.”

Carroll praised Quinn’s qualifications to be a head coach, raving about his character, leadership

and communication skills, while also calling him “a baller.”

Yet as qualified as Quinn might be, it wasn’t a given that he’d get a head coaching job this offseason.

Quinn might have been a head coach last year if not for the Seahawks’ Super Bowl run. But after he interviewed for several jobs, teams filled their head coaching vacancies before the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory over Denver.

And again this year, most of the openings have been filled, though it appears Atlanta is willing to wait.

Even if it meant losing coaches like Quinn or offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, Carroll would like to see the hiring rules changed so that assistants of teams playing in the Super Bowl aren’t hurt by their team’s success.

“I really think that would be a good idea if they can do that,” Carroll said. “They’d have to figure it out; not everybody would agree with me on that I’m sure, but guys should not be restricted because of their success. It does give other guys opportunities too, but in our situation, I wish these guys had a level playing field.”

Super Bowl preparation While some teams playing in the Super Bowl have waited until the week of the game to install the full game plan so as to avoid overloading players with information over the span of two weeks, Carroll said the plan in practice this week is to, “have the game-plan in before we leave.”

Carroll says that’s something he took from legendary 49ers head coach Bill Walsh, and it’s how the Seahawks approached things last year on the way to a 43-8 victory over the Broncos.

“It’s exactly the same,” Carroll said of this week’s schedule. “We kind of liked the way it worked out.”

Kubiak hired as Broncos head coach

By Arnie Stapleton Associated Press

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — John Elway and Gary Kubiak are back together drawing up blueprints for the Denver Broncos to get back to the Super Bowl.

Elway hired Kubiak on Monday, inking his former backup quarterback and offensive coordinator to a four-year contract. Kubiak replaces John Fox, who was ousted last week following Denver’s stunning loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC divisional playoffs.

“Having coached on three Super Bowl teams and 11 playoff teams, Gary knows what it will take to deliver another world championship” to Denver, Elway said in a statement.

Fox went 49-22, counting playoffs, in four seasons in Denver, where he won four AFC West titles. But Elway didn’t like the lack of fire the team displayed in its biggest games, including a 35-point loss in last year’s Super Bowl

and a 24-13 loss at home as a heavy favorite two weeks ago.

Fox was hired as the Chicago Bears’ new coach on Friday.

Kubiak and his staff are expected to bring a discipline and toughness that Elway deemed was lacking in Denver, where a talent-laden roster lost at home in the playoffs after a bye for the second time in three years.

In each of the past two seasons, Elway, the team’s general manager and executive vice president, found it necessary to address the players himself following particularly bad performances.

Kubiak’s relationship with Elway includes nine seasons as his backup QB, from 198391, and four seasons as his offensive coordinator.

After winning his first Super Bowl ring as the San Francisco 49ers’ quarterbacks coach in 1994, he returned to Denver on Mike Shanahan’s staff and helped draw up the blueprint for the Broncos’ two Super Bowl championships following the 1997 and 1998 seasons.

Lindsey Vonn celebrates after winning the women’s World Cup super-G on Monday in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

and celebrated with family members who rarely attend her races, including her once-estranged father.

“I didn’t think this could get any better than yesterday with my entire family here but now with Tiger here, this is unbelievable,” Vonn said. “I said, ‘I can’t believe you came.’ And he said, ‘I told you.’

“I had no idea he was here,” Vonn added. “He told everyone to keep it a secret and I’m surprised.

Normally no one can keep a secret in my family. ...

He just showed up. ... He has a tournament soon. So he’s got a lot of work and I’m surprised that he was able to come all the way over here for a few hours to

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Lindsey Vonn won a super-G Monday for her record 63rd World Cup victory and celebrated with an embrace from a surprise visitor — boyfriend Tiger Woods.

The American broke Annemarie Moser-Proell’s 35-year-old record of 62 World Cup wins with a flawless run down the Olympia delle Tofane course, finishing 0.85 ahead of Anna Fenninger of Austria. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was third, 0.92 back.

Wearing a mask, Woods weaved through the crowd unnoticed until he shared an emotional embrace with Vonn, who had no idea the golfer was coming.

“No way!”

Vonn exclaimed when she spotted him.

Vonn tied the record of 62 victories when she won a downhill here Sunday,

watch me ski.”

Woods did not speak with reporters and did not take part in the victory celebration, when Vonn was joined on the podium by teammates, coaches and family members.

In an apparent gesture to leave the stage to Vonn, Woods watched by himself from a small white tent protected by police, then was quickly ushered away on a waiting snowmobile.

Vonn and company went on celebrating, wearing T-shirts that said “63 victories” and “Make History LV63.”

It was a big relief for Vonn after facing intense media pressure to match

Moser-Proell in recent weeks.

“I know it’s a big achievement,” Vonn said. “But I have to focus on the skiing.

I can’t let everyone else’s expectations get into my head. So that was my goal this weekend, just trying to ski my best. And I thought I did a really good job.”

Moser-Proell, an Austrian great, established her record between 1970 and 1980.

“Moser-Proell was skiing in the 70s and all the young people in Austria don’t know what that record means,” Fenninger said.

“For the newer generation it’s very important that Lindsey make history. ... It’s time to have a new record.

She’s very important for us, because in America she’s a real superstar.”

Swedish standout Ingemar Stenmark holds the men’s record of 86 wins.

Breathing heavily and gritting her teeth in the start house, Vonn attacked all the way down and increased her lead at every checkpoint to win by a large margin.

She was relatively subdued in her celebration, having said that win No. 62 was more important to her.

Vonn was the last of the favorites to come down and flashed a big smile upon reaching the finish before doing a slight fist pump.

“I was definitely pushing the limits the whole way down,” Vonn said. “Sometimes I was a little bit out of control but I maintained the speed, especially on the bottom of the course. I’m so happy to have finished the weekend with win No. 63. My family and Tiger is here. It’s a really, really special day.”

It was Vonn’s first win in super-G this season and her fourth overall this campaign, showing a return to top form after two knee injuries kept her out of last year’s Sochi Olympics.

Golfer Tiger Woods walks in the finish area of the women’s World Cup super-G on Monday in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy.

His girlfriend, Lindsey Vonn, won the race.

Camera knocks out Tiger Wood’s front tooth Associated Press C O R T I N A D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Tiger Woods has another reason not to like cameras — one cost him a tooth.

Woods made a surprise visit to Italy on Monday to watch his girlfriend, skier Lindsey Vonn, capture her record 63rd World Cup win. The photo that generated all the buzz was Woods missing a front tooth.

Mark Steinberg, his agent at Excel Sports, explained the missing tooth in an email.

He said during a crush of photographers at the awards podium, a media member with a shoulder-mounted video accidently hit Woods in the mouth. That’s what knocked out the tooth.

Steiberg did not say when Woods would have the tooth replaced. Golf’s biggest star is scheduled to return to competition next week in Phoenix.
