Inslee shifts budget blame

He tells local officials it’s lawmakers’ fault for lack of roads funding

Future site of library debated If Stanwood locates the structure out of the downtown floodplain, an action not everyone favors, it could get a $27,000 break.

frustration of mine in the past of getting both sides of the aisle unified to support a (transportation) package,” he said after the meeting. “I suspect the governor may have given us a low amount of spending in his package to get us in Snohomish County to lobby our legislators. That’s my guess.”

Inslee’s plan calls for spending statewide $12.2 billion over a 12-year period on roads, bridges, ferries and expanding bus service. It would complete a new Highway 520 floating bridge and a new Mukilteo ferry terminal. It also opens the door for Sound Transit and Community Transit to seek funding for expanding light-rail and bus services in Snohomish County.

It earmarks roughly $82 million for projects in Snohomish County. More than half,

STANWOOD — City leaders are debating whether to lift a restriction that limits any library construction in the next eight years to downtown, which is located in a floodplain.

And if they take that route, they could avoid a potential $27,000 shortfall in Stanwood’s 2015-16 budget.

Two years ago, the City Council pushed for a location provision in its contract with the Sno-Isle Libraries District.

Officials wanted to focus public investment and fuel private interest in downtown Stanwood, edged roughly by Pioneer Highway on the east and 102nd Avenue on the west.

The area falls within a 100-year floodplain designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It hasn’t been inundated since 1959, after which higher dikes were built. There have been some close calls.

Now, the city is requesting that the library district waive a scheduled fee increase for 2015. In return, Sno-Isle has asked the city to reconsider its location stipulation, which is part of the same contract that outlines the fee hikes.

For some of the council, the proposal seems like a win-win.

Others worry that moving public services out of downtown Stanwood could cripple the area that has long been the heart of the community. Discussions already are under way about moving Stanwood’s City Hall and police station uphill because of the steep costs and safety concerns

It wasn’t just business as usual when Gov. Jay Inslee stopped by the county Wednesday. He joined a basketball game with Mrs. Boast’s 5th grade class at Everett’s Silver Lake Elementary. Inslee stopped by the school to promote the Gear Up program, which prepares kids for higher education.

We still have legislators from Snohomish County who have told us they want projects but they are not willing to pay for the revenue package it takes to finance them.

That just doesn’t cut the mustard.

ARLINGTON — Gov. Jay Inslee didn’t come to Arlington on Wednesday to apologize for giving Snohomish County short shrift in his proposed $12 billion transportation package.

Rather, he came to tell a small group of civic and business leaders the reason why: It’s your lawmakers’ fault.

Only seven of the 21 state lawmakers representing Snohomish County told him they would pass a package and raise revenue needed to pay for it, he said to those seated around a conference table at Universal Aerospace.

“We still have legislators from Snohomish County who have told us they want projects but they are not willing to pay for the revenue package it takes to finance them. That just doesn’t

cut the mustard,” Inslee said.

He declined to name names.

“So Snohomish County has a lot of work to do to convince the legislators to actually put their shoulder to the wheel and tell us they are going to step up to the plate to finance transportation,” he said.

Snohomish County Councilman Brian Sullivan, a former

state lawmaker, agreed with the governor.

“We really do need to put pressure on our legislators to act in a unified fashion,” he said to the group that included fellow Councilman Terry Ryan and Arlington Mayor Barb Tolbert.

Sullivan elaborated after the meeting.

$45.4 million, is for a new interchange on Highway 526 at Hardeson Road in Everett to serve the Boeing Co. and surrounding aerospace firms.

By comparison, there’s around $3.9 billion for King County projects. That includes $1.4 billion for the new floating bridge linking between Seattle and Bellevue and $1.3 billion for improvements to I-405 between Bellevue and Renton.

When Inslee released his

plan, business and community leaders reacted with disappointment at what he allotted to Snohomish County projects.

So, too, did lawmakers working to pass a transportation package.

“This early in session, all proposals should be considered starting points and the governor’s transportation proposal is no different,” said Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Transportation Committee. “The transportation needs of Snohomish

County are critical to not only our community but the state as a whole.”

An effort led by Economic Alliance Snohomish County produced a list of 23 transportation projects with a combined price tag of roughly $1 billion. They figured to get more of those projects supported by the governor because Snohomish County’s economy is rebounding faster from the recession than nearly every other county.

Wednesday’s meeting, the second time Inslee’s met with a group of county

leaders this month, seemed a ripe opportunity to press the governor to defend his decisions.

Instead, participants seemed to quietly agree with the governor’s assessment that they need to focus on motivating those in the county delegation to get on board with something this year.

“We can’t leave this legislative session without a transportation package,” Tolbert said.

at Harborview on Wednesday.

The victim was able to describe his attacker that night.

A police dog was used to try to track down the suspect. Along the way, police found a witness at a nearby apartment complex. He described a man who sat down on some stairs outside. He said the man was carrying a black knife. He also allegedly left behind a coat and scale as well as some paperwork that belonged to the victim.

Detectives obtained surveillance footage from a nearby convenience store that showed the suspect inside while police cars with emergency lights on drove by. When the suspect purchased an item, he emptied his pockets.

An employee told police he found a pawn slip on the counter that was believed to have been left by the suspect.

It was from a pawn shop out of Shoreline.

Surveillance footage from the pawn shop appeared to match the description of the stabbing suspect.

The man, 34, has an extensive criminal history from North and South Carolina that includes assault and property crimes, Marsh said.

“He’s not a new person to the criminal justice system,” Marsh said.

that come with building in a floodplain.

“Recent events with the Oso landslide, potential for flooding, sea-level rise and FEMA flood insurance policies have prompted some members of the community to re-think whether essential public facilities should be sited downtown in the floodplain,” according to a city staff report.

If the library district pursues a new facility, officials want the option to look uphill, as well, Sno-Isle spokesman Ken Harvey said.

“There’s no location currently under consideration,” he said. “We don’t have anything in the pipeline for a new library.”

In 2004, voters rejected a bond measure that would

have built a StanwoodCamano library.

But Camano Island now has its own library, and Stanwood voters might consider a new facility in the coming years, Harvey said.

“We’ve heard, in the last 10 years, a lot of comments about wanting to have a new library,” he said.

“What we haven’t heard is anything from the city or the community as an organized group. But we wouldn’t be surprised to hear that in the future.”

The library has been threatened by flooding at least twice in the past 30 years, Harvey said. Police warned staff to evacuate the building once in the 1980s. In 2009, another warning spurred sandbagging around the building while librarians moved books and supplies off the

floor and low shelves. The current library is a cityowned building, though Sno-Isle manages day-today operations.

Stanwood has paid for library service out of its general fund since 1947.

The upcoming 2015 payment is the city’s last.

Voters chose to annex into the library district, creating a new property tax to support the service. The measure passed in November 2014 with 82 percent approval. It takes effect in 2016.

The city’s final library payment is set to increase $27,000 from the 2014 rate.

Stanwood’s 2015-16 budget is balanced with $289,200 earmarked for the library — the 2014 rate, according to council documents.

With the increase, the city faces a deficit.

It’s not just about saving money, Councilman Rob Johnson said. He doesn’t think it makes sense for the city to tell another jurisdiction where to build.

“I don’t believe that the whole health of the downtown is hanging on where they might build a new library,” he said. “While I respect my colleagues and that they can have differences of opinion, this one kind of took me by surprise.

I’m stumped. ” The council has not scheduled a date to decide on the proposal.

If the council chooses not to change the location requirement, Sno-Isle might still defer the $27,000 payment increase until March 16, 2016, according to council documents.

Rail terminal project deadline extended

Daily Herald.

The project developer, a partnership between Cedar Grove Composting, Concrete Nor’west and other landowners on Smith Island, wants to build a rail loop connected to the BNSF Railway main line.

The rail connection would allow Cedar Grove to ship its compost to new customers in Eastern Washington, something not financially feasible with trucking.

EVERETT — The city of Everett has extended the comment deadline for a proposed rail terminal project by one week after it discovered relevant documents weren’t posted to the city website.

The new deadline for public comments on the Smith Island Terminal is Jan. 30.

City planning director Allan Giffen said people should be given more time to comment on the project,

but that the documents hadn’t been posted when they should have been.

“We try to do that at the same time we issue the notice, and this time obviously we didn’t do that,” Giffen said.

The documents were posted Jan. 20, after an Everett resident called the city to find out more information. The comment deadline for the project’s environmental review was Friday.

North Everett resident Jo Newland saw the first mention of the rail loop in a story published Monday in The

AG wants to raise smoking age to 21

protections, Dilgard said, except to the extent that local preservation groups can use it to strengthen their case to preserve it.

The Swalwell Cottage was designed by architect F.A. Sexton, who Dilgard said pitched a tent in the Riverside area in order to sell his services to buyers rushing in to snap up the newly available land.

Sexton went on to design many important buildings in the city, such as Rudebeck Hall, the Brue Building, the Hotel Everett and the McCabe building. The latter stands at 3120 Hewitt Ave. and is listed on the National Register.

The Swalwell Cottage is a mix of styles, with siding on the ground floor and shingle cladding on the upper story.

“The beauty of this thing is that it’s kind of a throwback,” Dilgard said.

According to historical documents, Albert Swalwell, one of

OLYMPIA — Washington would become the first state in the country to ban tobacco for everyone younger than age 21 under a plan announced Wednesday by Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

Ferguson and lawmakers from the state House and Senate said bills to raise the state’s smoking age from 18 to match the legal ages for consuming alcohol and marijuana were inspired by the effectiveness of smoking bans in several cities nationwide. The first city to do so, Needham, Massachusetts, in 2005, saw a drop of more than 50 percent in its highschool smoking rate by 2012, Ferguson said.

Dozens of cities and counties have followed suit, including New York City, Suffolk County on Long Island, New York, and Hawaii County, which encompasses the state’s Big Island. However, bills to make the smoking age 21 failed the past two years in New Jersey, Utah and Colorado.

Officials in Washington state cited several studies showing most adult smokers started as teenagers as justification for the change.

“For me, it’s really about helping these kids not have a lifetime of addiction, because that’s what they face,” said Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines, the lead House sponsor of the bill in that chamber.

The House version of Ferguson’s bill has been referred to the Health Care and Wellness Committee, which is chaired

by Rep. Eileen Cody, D-West Seattle, a co-sponsor of the bill. State Sen. Mark Miloscia,

Little house with a big history

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — A small house in Everett’s Riverside neighborhood is going up for foreclosure auction Friday.

But the house at 2712 Pine St. is special. Built in the winter of 1891-1892, the house is one of the oldest residences in the city, and probably the oldest that has retained its original architectural character.

Unlike the Rucker Mansion or other grand estates of bygone tycoons, this was a house for the masses, said David Dilgard, a historian at the Everett Public Library.

“This is a classic example of the little houses the real people would live in,” Dilgard said.

The house, a one-and-a-half story cottage with a footprint of 994 square feet, was built by the Swalwells, a family that owned much of the Riverside neighborhood in the 1880s.

The Swalwells platted out the

area as soon as Washington was granted statehood in 1889, just in time for a land rush.

The Swalwells built two cottages next door to each other; one was torn down in the 1970s to make way for a fourplex

apartment building, Dilgard said.

The surviving Swalwell Cottage was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It is also on the state and city registers.

But she found no mention of the $7 million project on the city’s web page.

The city of Everett has followed the letter of state law, which requires a minimum 14-day comment period for projects determined not to have a significant impact on the environment.

A notice advertising the project was published in the newspaper Jan. 9, two days after city planners finished reviewing the proposal. The original comment deadline was 14 days later.

the cost of a stamp — 49 cents for first class — is a barrier to voting. They’ve drawn up Senate Bill 5344 to require that return envelopes for primary and general election ballots include prepaid postage.

Counties would pay and be reimbursed by the state. It might not be cheap.

“The Legislature finds that the postage, while only a small amount, amounts to the poll tax for many of our citizens,” reads the bill.

The traffic study for the rail project said traffic created by the operations of the new terminal largely would be confined to the local road network on Smith Island and be spread throughout the day.

Marla Carter, spokeswoman for Everett’s public works department, said the increase in traffic expected from the rail terminal doesn’t reach the threshold to trigger a new complete analysis.

Carter added that the state Department of Transportation, which uses a different threshold to trigger a full review, could still require further changes in the project.

The 2008 study was for a project to build an anaerobic digester, which Cedar Grove later abandoned. A rail terminal, which would be available for use by many businesses, should require a new study, Newland said.

“To base an approval based on old studies approved for Cedar Grove and not for Smith Island Terminal is not good business,” she said.

Our dearly loved Patti lost her nearly two year war with cancer on Januar y 11, 2015. Her illness started in her pancreas, then invaded her liver. Love was clearly shown for her through the care given her by husband Jack, and several other family members. We want to give a huge “Thank you” to Patti’s cousin Lisa, aka “Sam” and husband Bob Hoover. We are very grateful to them for the many ways in which they showed love and compassion for both Patti and Jack.

They played in the accordion band and garnered several first-place trophies in competition.

In 1971 the family moved from the Paine Field area to Mar ysville, Wash. Af ter graduation, Patti and Dana Lamber t married and two children, Joshua and Corina we r e b o r n . S eve r a l ye a r s later the marriage dissolved.

Patti was soon employed as a parts delivery person for Napa Auto Parts, and later delivered parts for O’Reilly’s in Marysville. In 2005 Patti and Jack Bunkelman married. Having been brought up in a hunting and fishing family, Patti had no p ro b l e m fo l l ow i n g J a c k ’ s tradition of getting gear ready for “the hunt”.

On Tuesday, Facebook dealt a blow to the fake-news industry that could, in all likelihood, wipe it out: Starting this week, the site will cut down on the number of fake news stories that circulate in its News Feed — and add a warning on hoax stories indicating that they’re fake.

No more will tales of lost civilizations flutter through your Facebook feed; no more scammy promises of Audis and million-dollar giveaways; no more surprise celebrity deaths that are (mysteriously!) not reported anywhere else.

Facebook isn’t actually deleting these posts, but it’s setting up a system in which there will be far, far fewer of them.

In other words, it’s cutting off the oxygen that has fed the fakenews industry for the past two years.

“The vast majority of publishers on Facebook will not be impacted by this update,” intones Facebook’s official announcement of the change. “A small set of publishers who are frequently posting hoaxes and scams will see their distribution decrease.”

“Publisher” is a nice euphemism for the likes of National Report, The Daily Currant and Empire News, all sites that profit — handsomely, in some cases — from duping gullible Internet users with deceptively newsy headlines. Their business model is both simple and devastatingly effective: Employ a couple of unscrupulous freelancers to write fake news that’s surprising or enraging or weird enough to go viral on Facebook; run display ads against the traffic; gleefully cash in.

While it’s difficult to gauge exactly how much money publishers and writers make from these schemes, a truly viral story can rake in thousands of dollars a day. Robert Winland, a writer for Empire Sports, told The Post repeatedly that he was in it for “the money”; Paul Horner, the former lead writer for National Report, said he made $10,000 a day in the days following his Banksy arrest hoax of October 2014.

Horner has since branched out and started News Examiner, a hoax news site of his own — joining the growing ranks of hoax sites that have started up since early spring 2013. Not coincidentally, almost all of the major fake-news purveyors — including National Report, World News Daily Report, Empire News and the News Nerd — only started after March of that year, when Facebook released a major redesign to News Feed.

And yet, if you think the change poses some existential threat to the fake-news industry, sites like National Report seem unfazed. After all, points out publisher Alan Montgomery, Facebook’s relying in some part on users to spot and report fakes; past experience would suggest users aren’t always very good at that. Besides, there’s a pixel-thin line between Internet lies and Internet parodies.

If they can play gullible readers once, can’t they play them again?

GOP drops anti-abortion bill The Washington Post WASHINGTON — House Republican leaders abruptly dropped plans late Wednesday to vote on an anti-abortion bill amid a revolt by female GOP lawmakers concerned that the legislation’s restrictive language would once again spoil the party’s chances of broadening its appeal to women and younger voters.

In recent days, as many as two dozen Republicans had raised concerns with the “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” that would ban abortions after the 20th week of a pregnancy. Sponsors said that exceptions would be allowed for a woman who is raped, but she could only get

the abortion after reporting the rape to law enforcement.

A vote had been scheduled for Thursday to coincide with the annual March for Life, a gathering that brings hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion activists to Washington to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

But Republican leaders dropped those plans after failing to win over a bloc of lawmakers, led by Reps. Rene Ellmers, R-N.C., and Jackie Walorski, R-Ind., who had raised concerns.

The House will vote instead Thursday on a bill prohibiting federal funding for abortions — a more innocuous antiabortion measure that the

Republican-controlled chamber has passed before.

A senior GOP aide said that concerns had been raised “by men and women members that still need to be worked out.” The aide said Thursday’s vote will help “advance the pro-life cause” and that GOP leaders “remain committed to continue working through the process on the Pain Capable bill to make sure it too is successful.”

Other aides said that leaders were eager to avoid political fallout from a large number of female Republicans voting against an abortion bill in the early stages of the new GOPcontrolled Congress.

The dispute erupted into the open in recent days and once

again demonstrated the changing contours of the expanded House Republican caucus. The 246-member caucus is seeing rifts on issues where it once had more unity. That’s because there are now more moderate Republicans from swing districts who could face tough reelections in 2016 when more Democratic and independent voters are expected to vote in the presidential election.

The abortion bill pulled Wednesday was strongly opposed by Democrats and women’s rights groups. But a similar version of the bill easily passed the GOP-controlled House in 2013 and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., had vowed to bring it up for a vote.

Obama bounds into Boise In the conservative stronghold, the president laments an America divided by ideology.

The Washington Post BOISE, Idaho — Six rows of parking spaces is all that separates Boise State University’s glittering basketball arena from its arch-roofed football practice field.

Only a few steps from one to the other. But a longer walk for President Barack Obama.

In 2008, he filled the basketball arena with 14,000 screaming fans enthralled by his first presidential campaign, inspired by an energetic and youthful candidate’s vision of uniting Red and Blue America. On Wednesday, grayer and battered by Washington’s unrelenting partisan snarking, Obama settled for the smaller of the two venues, where the crowd fit into a space that holds several thousand with room to spare.

Six years on, Obama sought to deliver the same unifying message, choosing this reliably Republican state to launch a national tour promoting the middle-class and education proposals outlined in his sixth State of the Union address.

“I still believe what I said back then,” a relaxed and conversational Obama told an enthusiastic crowd comprised mostly of students. “As Americans, we have more in common than not.”

“There is not a liberal America or a conservative America, but a United States of America,” said Obama, who bounded onstage with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and no jacket.

In his remarks, Obama lamented an America divided

While criticizing partisan divides, Obama also frequently skewered and belittled his Republican opponents. In a jab that drew loud laughter, he told the audience that he knows Republicans disagree with him because, “I can see that

from their body language.” He also took more pointed jabs, accusing Republicans of “pretending” that child care and student debt are “not important,” and accusing the GOP of refusing to believe that “there’s a lot we can do” to improve the lives of middle-class Americans.

Obama’s speech Wednesday was delivered in a city planted at the base of the Rocky Mountains foothills. ... The training facility where the event was held is on a street named for a liberal icon, the Latino labor

organizer Cesar Chavez. In the audience, a man yelled “Si, se puede” — ”Yes, we can” in Spanish.

Obama said he hoped to pay for his middle-class initiatives by closing tax loopholes for corporations and for the wealthy, and said the government should be investing in training to improve job skills.

He challenged Republicans to come up with alternatives, rather than criticism of his funding plans.

Obama’s remarks were interrupted repeatedly by loud cheers, turning the event into something of a pep rally — not only for his current trip but for what he hinted is to come in what he described as “the fourth quarter” of his presidency.

“Big things happen in the fourth quarter,” he said.

Extending an invitation to Republicans is a big part of the motivation for Obama’s choice of venue, even in state such as Idaho, where Obama told the crowd he “got whooped” in the last two presidential elections.

“He wants to hit some of these red states. He wants to reach out to everybody,” a White House official said during a background briefing this week. Yet Republicans in this state, which voted overwhelmingly for Obama’s opponents in the last two elections, weren’t sounding particularly interested in any group hugs with the man who has been a popular target of their candidates.

“To simply fly in to use our university and our students as a prop in his permanent public relations campaign, well, that’s not leadership or respect.

Just opportunism,” Steve Yates, chairman of the Idaho Republican Party, said on Facebook.

“Our state and nation deserve better.”

Egypt damages mask of King Tut Associated Press CAIRO — The blue and gold braided beard on the burial mask of famed pharaoh Tutankhamun was hastily glued back on with epoxy, damaging the relic after it was knocked during cleaning, conservators at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo said Wednesday.

The museum is one of the city’s main tourist sites, but in some areas, ancient wooden sarcophagi lay unprotected from the public, while pharaonic burial shrouds, mounted on walls, crumble from behind open panels of glass. Tutankhamun’s mask, more than 3,300 years old, and other contents of his tomb are its top exhibits.

Three of the museum’s conservators reached by telephone gave differing accounts of when the incident occurred last year, and whether the beard was knocked off by

accident while the mask’s case was being cleaned, or was removed because it was loose.

They agree however that orders came from above to fix it quickly and that an inappropriate adhesive was used.

All spoke on condition of

anonymity for fear of professional reprisals.

“Unfortunately he used a very irreversible material — epoxy has a very high property for attaching and is used on metal or stone but I think it wasn’t suitable for an outstanding object like Tutankhamun’s golden mask,” one conservator said.

“The mask should have been taken to the conservation lab but they were in a rush to get it displayed quickly again and used this quick drying, irreversible material,” the conservator added.

The conservator said that the mask now shows a gap between the face and the beard, whereas before it was directly attached: “Now you can see a layer of transparent yellow.”

Another museum conservator, who was present at the time of the repair, said that

epoxy had dried on the face of the boy king’s mask and that a colleague used a spatula to remove it, leaving scratches.

The first conservator, who inspects the artifact regularly, confirmed the scratches and said it was clear that they had been made by a tool used to scrape off the epoxy.

Egypt’s tourist industry, once a pillar of the economy, has yet to recover from three years of tumult following a 2011 uprising that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

Museums and the opening of new tombs are part of plans to revive the industry.

But authorities have made no significant improvements to the Egyptian Museum since its construction in 1902, and plans to move the Tutankhamun exhibit to its new home in the Grand Egyptian Museum scheduled to open in 2018 have yet to be divulged.

ACROSS THE U.S.

Millions of gallons of salt water leak WILLISTON, N.D. — Nearly 3 million gallons of saltwater generated by oil drilling have leaked from a pipeline, an official said Wednesday, the largest such spill since the state’s current oil boom began and nearly three times worse than any previous spill. Two creeks have been affected, but the full environmental effect might not be clear for months.

Operator Summit Midstream Partners LLC detected the pipeline spill Jan. 6, about 15 miles north of Williston and told health officials then. Officials said they weren’t given a full account of the size until Tuesday. Some previous saltwater spills have taken years to clean up.

Florida: Black police targets The North Miami Beach City Council has banned its police force from shooting at mug shots of black men for target practice. Dozens of angry residents decried the policy and demanded the police chief’s resignation at a council meeting Tuesday. Some carried poster-sized photos of Police Chief Scott Dennis riddled with bullet holes. The practice came to light after a Florida Army National Guard member spotted a photo of her brother laced with bullet holes at a shooting range last month.

D.C.: Joe Biden could run Vice President Joe Biden is leaving the door open to a possible 2016 White House bid. Biden told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Wednesday that he sees the contest for the Democratic nomination for president as “wide open,” even though former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — widely considered a front-runner — has yet to announce her candidacy. “Yes, there is a chance,” Biden said. “But I haven’t made my mind up about that. We’ve got a lot of work to do between now and then. There’s plenty of time.” He said he wouldn’t decide until summer about another bid for the presidency.

Navy relieves commander The captain in charge of the naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, has been fired and is being investigated in connection with an alleged affair with a woman on the base and the recent death of her husband, U.S. officials said Wednesday. Capt. John R. Nettleton was relieved of duty Wednesday due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command, the Navy said. But U.S. officials said Nettleton is under investigation in connection with the death of civilian worker Christopher Tur, who was found dead Jan. 11.

State of the Union ratings President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address drew the secondlowest television viewership in 15 years.

According to Nielsen data, 31.7 million viewers watched Tuesday night’s prime-time address on broadcast and cable networks. That’s the lowest television viewership for a State of the Union address since President Bill Clinton’s final speech to a joint session of Congress in 2000. The figures do not take into account those who streamed the speech online.

Illinois: Topless activists Chicago on Wednesday filed a motion to dismiss a federal lawsuit over the right of women to go topless in the city, arguing that nudity is not protected expression under the Constitution and that “female breasts are considered erogenous in a way that male breasts are not.” “The (Indecent Exposure or Dress) Ordinance is substantially related to the City’s important objectives in ensuring public safety and protecting unwilling audiences from exposure to nudity, which, consistent with current community standards, includes the exposure of female breasts,” city lawyers wrote.

AROUND THE WORLD Jamaica: Legal marijuana The Cabinet approved a bill that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of pot and pave the way for a legal medical marijuana industry on the Caribbean island, the justice minister said Wednesday. After the Cabinet’s authorization, the minister said he expects to introduce the legislation in the Senate by the end of this week. “We need to position ourselves to take advantage of the significant economic opportunities offered by this emerging industry,” he said.

Fake engine noise irks drivers Consumers want the force and fuel savings of a newer engine — but the classic sound of an old gas-guzzler.

The Washington Post Stomp on the gas in a new Ford Mustang or F-150 and you’ll hear a meaty, throaty rumble — the same style roar that Americans have associated with auto power and performance for decades.

It’s a sham. The engine growl in some of America’s best-selling cars and trucks is actually a finely tuned bit of lip-syncing, boosted through special pipes or digitally faked altogether. And it’s driving

car enthusiasts insane.

Fake engine noise has become one of the auto industry’s dirty little secrets, with automakers from BMW to Volkswagen turning to

a sound-boosting bag of tricks.

Without them, today’s more fuelefficient engines would sound far quieter and, automakers worry, seemingly less powerful,

potentially pushing buyers away.

Softer-sounding engines are actually a positive symbol of just how far engines and gas economy have progressed. But automakers say they resort to artifice because they understand a key car-buyer paradox: Drivers want all the force and fuel savings of a newer, better engine — but the classic sound of an old gas-guzzler.

“Enhanced” engine songs have become the signature of eerily quiet electrics like the Toyota Prius. But the fakery is now increasingly finding its way into even beefy trucks and muscle cars, long revered for their iconic growl.

Chicago O’Hare regains title of busiest airport Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport is again the world’s busiest airport for passenger and cargo traffic, a designation it lost a decade ago, according to data from the Federal Aviation Administration. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport wrested the top honor away from O’Hare in 2005 and had retained it since, according to the official flight count by the Federal Aviation Administration. While 2014 traffic at O’Hare was down by 0.2 percent, it lost less traffic than the Atlanta airport, where traffic declined by 4.7 percent, according to new FAA data.

O’Hare had 881,933 arrivals and departures; Atlanta had 868,359.

Home construction near record levels Construction of new homes rebounded in December, helping to push activity for the entire year to the highest level since the peak of the housing boom nine years ago. Builders started construction at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.09 million in December, an increase of 4.4 percent from November when unusually severe weather pushed activity down a revised 4.5 percent, the Commerce Department reported Wednesday. For all of 2014, builders started construction on 1.01 million new homes and apartments, an increase of 8.8 percent from 2013.

Bloomberg News SEATTLE — Microsoft, seeking to use the next version of its Windows software to win back consumers and keep business customers happy, gave a detailed look at the new operating system and took the wraps off a revamped Web browser.

At an event Wednesday to preview Windows 10, the new iteration of its flagship personalcomputer software, Microsoft showed the browser that will succeed Internet Explorer, codenamed Project Spartan. The update to Windows, coming later this year, will also bring Cortana, the voice-activated digital assistant, to PC desktops, and will have touch-enabled Office applications such as Word and Excel built-in for smartphones and tablets.

Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella, who took the helm almost a year ago, is trying to resuscitate Windows even as mobile computing continues to surge, PC demand sputters, and Microsoft focuses on versions of its Office applications for rival software platforms. He’s also tasked with overhauling the product little more than two years after the last update — Windows 8 — failed to jump-start consumer demand while alienating corporate customers.

“A lot of this is really about making a sharper message for consumer,” said Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft. “How do you appease the enterprise while making it a great tablet operating system and not one thing layered on top of another thing?”

Microsoft also announced Windows Holographic, and a headset with glasses called HoloLens that will enable users to see holograms while tracking a user’s voice, motion and surroundings.

The glasses will be available “in the Windows 10 timeframe,” said Alex Kipman, a technical fellow in Microsoft’s operating system group. The company also showed HoloStudio, software tools for creating holograms, 3-D printing them and sharing them.

The new browser showed Wednesday lets users annotate websites using a stylus and touch or mouse and keyboard, and then send and share comments through e-mail and social media.

The company also announced a new device called the Surface Hub, an 84-inch touch-screen

Microsoft will start distributing Windows software as a service, keeping customers’ versions up to date and supported, Executive Vice President Terry Myerson said at the event in Redmond.

“One can reasonably think of Windows as one of the largest Internet services on the planet,” Myerson said. “The question ‘What version are you running?’ will cease to make sense.”

The new version of Word for Windows 10 has a review tab to look through changes from other people and aid collaboration. The recent document list can roam from device to device. There’s also a new Outlook app that mimics Apple Inc.’s iOS in letting

Microsoft also demonstrated an Xbox app for Windows and mobile devices running the software. The company will allow users to stream games from the Xbox One console to Windows PCs and other devices in the home. Xbox Chief Phil Spencer demonstrated how he joined a game as a second player from his PC. “We want to move from people needing Windows to people choosing Windows to people loving Windows,” Nadella said Wednesday.

The next Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce Business Before Hours event is a State of the City address from keynote

the past decade. Windows 7 was a bid to recover after the debacle of Windows Vista, which was released more than two years late in 2007 and didn’t work well with popular apps and accessories.

Windows 8 itself was a significant revamp — Microsoft called it “a reimagining of Windows” ­— designed to arrest sliding market share, which had dropped to about a fifth of all computing devices sold to consumers.

Windows 10 is a shift from the confusing Windows 8 design, which offered a new touch-screen interface alongside the traditional Windows style. Many users didn’t have touch machines, and corporate customers preferred to use a mouse and keyboard — so Windows 8 didn’t gain much share on tablets or win back consumers.

Instead, it scared off corporate customers, many of which are still on Windows 7, which was released in 2009.

Wednesday’s event wasn’t the first look at Windows 10 — the company gave a preview of corporate features in September.

That demonstration showed an attempt to meld some of the design elements of Windows 8 with the older, start-menu-driven approach that business users favor.

The biggest challenge for Windows in recent years has been the declining importance of the PC. At the same time, Microsoft has failed to succeed in phones and tablets — Windows was installed on 11 percent of all devices shipped in 2014, according to a Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. analysis. That’s because PCs accounted for only about 10 percent of computing devices last year.

Toyota takes lead in sales of autos Toyota Motor Corp. narrowly edged out Volkswagen AG to capture the global auto sales crown for the third consecutive year in 2014. General Motors Co. was third. Toyota sold 10.23 million vehicles last year, including those from its subsidiaries Daihatsu Motor Co. and Hino Motors. That was up 3 percent from 2013.

Volkswagen sold 10.14 million vehicles in 2014, a 4 percent gain from the previous year, while GM’s global sales rose 2 percent to 9.92 million vehicles. Toyota believes its sales will slide 1 percent this year because of declining sales in its Japanese home market.

American Express profit rises 11 percent American Express is reporting an 11 percent rise in fourth-quarter profit, as consumers spent more with the company’s namesake credit cards. American Express said Wednesday it earned $1.45 billion, or $1.39 per share.

That compares with a profit of $1.31 billion, or $1.21 a share, in the same period a year ago.

It said it saw a 6 percent rise in card spending compared to a year ago. The company’s profits were also helped by a one-time $453 million aftertax gain from the sale of its stake in Concur Technologies, a travel and business expense site. Revenue net of interest expense was $8.53 billion, compared with $8.07 billion a year ago. Analysts surveyed

by FactSet expected American Express to earn $1.38 a share on $8.52 billion in revenue.

Among purists, the trickery has inspired an identity crisis and cut to the heart of American auto legend.

The “aural experience” of a car, they argue, is an intangible that’s just as priceless as what’s revving under the hood.

That type of ire has made the auto industry shy about discussing its sound technology. Several attempts to speak with Ford’s sound engineers about the new F-150, a six-cylinder model of America’s best-selling truck that plays a muscular engine note through the speakers, were quietly rebuffed.

Car companies are increasingly wary of alerting buyers that they might not be hearing the real thing, and many automakers have worked with audio and software engineers to make their cars’ synthesized engine melody more realistic.

Volkswagen uses what’s called a “Soundaktor,” a special speaker that looks like a hockey puck and plays sound files in cars like the GTI and Beetle Turbo.

Lexus worked with sound technicians at Yamaha to more loudly amplify the noise of its LFA supercar toward the driver seat.

Some, like Porsche with its “sound symposer,” have used noise-boosting tubes to crank up the engine sound inside the cabin.

Others have gone further into digital territory: BMW plays a recording of its motors through the car stereos, a sample of which changes depending on the engine’s load and power.

Orchestrated engine noise has become a necessity for electric cars, which run so quietly they can provide a dangerous surprise for inattentive pedestrians and the blind. Federal

safety officials expect to finalize rules later this year requiring all hybrid and electric cars to play fake engine sounds to alert passersby, a change that experts estimate could prevent thousands of pedestrian and cyclist injuries.

With traditional engines, some boosters have even celebrated artificial noise as a little added luxury.

Without it, drivers would hear an unsettling silence or only the kinds of road racket they’d rather ignore, like bumps in the pavement or the whine of the wind.

Yet even drivers who appreciate the accompaniment have questioned the mission. A SlashGear reviewer who otherwise enjoyed the new F-150 said the engine sound was piped in “arguably pointlessly.”

Which raises a more existential question: Does it matter if the sound is fake?

A driver who didn’t know the difference might enjoy the thrum and thunder of it nonetheless. Is taking the best part of an eight-cylinder revv and cloaking a better engine with it really, for carmakers, so wrong?

Not everyone is so diplomatic. Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with Kelley Blue Book, says automakers should stop the lies and get real with their drivers.

“If you’re going to do that stuff, do that stuff. Own it.

Tell customers: If you want a V8 rumble, you’ve got to buy a V8 that costs more, gets worse gas mileage and hurts the Earth,” Brauer said. “You’re fabricating the car’s sexiness. You’re fabricating performance elements of the car that don’t actually exist. That just feels deceptive to me.”

IN OUR VIEW | Peoria Home

Building a home for new lives Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe sees prostitution as something best addressed from its demand side and its supply side.

He’s tackling the demand by prosecuting those who promote and solicit prostitution.

But those supplying prostitution often begin as victims and continue to be victimized by human trafficking, Roe said.

The young women who turn to prostitution do so because they, in almost all cases, are escaping abusive situations as children in their own homes.

“Compared to what they’re running from, prostitution looks good,” he said. “And isn’t that sad?”

Of all the proposed solutions for discouraging prostitution, Roe says he’s most impressed with a project

that officially launches tonight called Peoria Home.

Peoria Home, said its founder Paula NewmanSkomski, aims to replicate the success of a similar project in Nashville, Tennessee, that provides a two-and-a-half year residential program for women seeking to leave prostitution. It provides free and safe shelter but also connects women with an array of services, including drug and alcohol counseling, medical and dental care, job skills training and help getting a GED, said Newman-Skomski, a nurse practitioner with Providence Intervention Center.

In its 17 years, Nashville’s Magdalene Home has a 72 percent success rate with women leaving the program clean and sober and able to

sustain themselves independently, Newman-Skomski said. It has grown to six homes in the Nashville area, sheltering 30 women at a time, funded by donations, grants and revenue from a commercial enterprise, Thistle Farms, which makes bath and beauty products.

Peoria Home will start modestly, hoping to begin with a home for four women and an as-yet-undetermined commercial enterprise that will give the women the opportunity to develop job skills. It will also provide some financial support for the program.

To start, Newman-Skomski said, Peoria Home will need about $500,000, enough to purchase a suitable house for the program and a year of operating expenses.

The fundraising campaign launches tonight with an introduction to city officials, business leaders and members of Everett’s faith community.

The public will get its first chance to contribute at Peoria Home’s Beacon of Hope Auction, 5 to 9 p.m., March 21, at the Downtown Holiday Inn, 2105 Pine Street. Tickets, $50 each, are available online at springevent2015.bpt.me/.

The hope, Newman-Skomski said, is to provide an alternative to prostitution and a safe place to turn lives around.

“Many of the women at Magdalene who successfully graduated have purchased their own homes and gotten their children back from foster care,” she said. “We want the same thing here for the women in our community.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■MLK DAY

Lovick, students good role models What a great guest commentary on the day of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. (“Remember King with service to humanity.”) John Lovick is such a role model for our county. I attended a great Dr. King assembly at Mountlake Terrace high School on Jan. 16 to honor the holiday; the students did a fantastic job.

They read some of Dr. King’s speeches and also talked about their personal experiences; it was the best assembly I have ever attended. The guest speaker was John Lovick, our county executive; he was eloquent but also gave good advice of “don’t hate.” Even after Ferguson, New York, Florida and France. Do not hate, but always stand up for what is right. A special thanks to our students who showed us what the future will be, as they become the leaders of our country.

■■SMITH ISLAND

Rail proposal needs more study Regarding the article, “Railroad loop proposed on Everett’s Smith Island”: The proposed railroad loop on Smith Island by Smith Island Terminal LLC/Cedar Grove Compost adds more to the mix than Cedar Grove odor. The rail line is proposed because Cedar Grove Compost has processed more compost than they can market. The Smith Island Terminal LLC proposal is a whole different problem.

Those of us who live in the area are aware that there are only two main routes to travel between Marysville and Everett — I-5 and Highway 529.

The article sets out that a traffic study was performed for the city and found: “the addition of the terminal would likely nearly double truck traffic to Cedar Grove’s facility.”

Further, “the trips generated would be spread through the day” and, more importantly, the study states: “The traffic impacts would mostly be confined to the local road network on Smith Island.”

Highway 529 is central to the local road network on Smith Island and the main route for thousands of residents who reside in Marysville and Everett. The residents of the Northwest Everett neighborhood would also experience extreme delays in the simple task of driving home. I am at a loss to explain the results of the city’s traffic study.

The proposed application should be public and allow time for public comment. The

■■LOCAL ORCA

Join effort to bring whale home The people of the Pacific Northwest should know that it’s time to rally around the life of one orca, stolen from waters in their state on Aug. 8, 1970, off Whidbey Island, and suffering in Miami, Florida. Her name is Tokitae, and her captors renamed her Lolita.

Most Washingtonians know that orcas are extremely social animals and depend on their family for their well-being; this orca has suffered the fate of “entertainment slavery” alone for 40 years. She has survived the suicide of fellow orca, and calls out to be reunited with her family after all this time.

Does it take watching the brutal video of her capture and the death of other orcas (www. orcanetwork.org/captivity/lolitacapture.html) to understand that enough is enough?

What will it take for us to show our humanity toward another innocent sentient being? There is a viable plan in place to allow her release; if you want to understand how much effort has gone into making this a reality, please read it at www. orcanetwork.org/captivity

Wrong approach ■■ENERGY ISSUES on comments All-electric cars Regarding the article, are not a panacea “School board meets, no action on Cascade’s Bertrand”: I would like to express how disappointed I am in the school board’s approach to hearing public comment regarding the school teacher whose coaching contract was not renewed.

I have no position on the matter. However, when the public chooses to engage in an issue that is important to them, the right approach is to welcome comments and accommodate hearing from the public on the issue, even if it’s not a matter the board cares to discuss.

I read that the board tried to manipulate and limit public comment on the matter by splitting the comment time into two periods, one period before the meeting and then a follow-up comment period after hours of school board business was handled. Even if the board didn’t intentionally intend to limit the amount of comments, public perception of how this situation was handled is very negative.

The right thing to do when the public has something to say and there is not enough time on the agenda would be to do whatever it take to accommodate hearing the public voice when there is a significant issue many people care about. Table the normal agenda items perhaps? Or have a condensed agenda of regular business?

Or hold a special session welcoming the public to air their thoughts on the matter.

Either way, the school board is doing a poor job of handling/managing and accepting

Talk about “all electric” vehicles is once more in the limelight and I wonder if our heads of state really appreciate what’s involved in changing from gasoline to electric transportation and haulage. If they were to stand on a bridge overlooking I-5 and watch the 24-hour shoulder to shoulder traffic they might get an understanding of how much extra generating capacity will be needed. All these vehicles will be virtually running off the electric grid.

Therefore, in addition to supplying homes, towns, cities and factories with power, the grid will have to supply cars, trucks and buses with power.

How many extra generating plants do they think they will need to do it? Admittedly, an electric motor is far more efficient than a gasoline motor, but the overall efficiency from oil well (or coal pit or gas pipe) to the driving wheels of the vehicle may not be much different. If it isn’t, then the net pollution will be the same (burning fuel in cars vs. burning fuel in power stations).

Probably the best solution is the fuel cell. If these could be made cheaply, and hydrogen safely produced and distributed, then real progress in efficiency and “green-ness” may be achieved. However, this scenario is way in the future; hence the appealing change from gas pump to electric socket may be a wild goose chase.

Our attention is turned away from terrorism

I

n 1938, Winston Churchill published “While England Slept,” about Britain’s failure to prepare for the Nazi threat.

Let’s hope that, when the history of this moment is written, the 2015 State of the Union address will not be retold under the title “While America Slept.”

Not since before the 2001 terrorist attacks has there been such a disconnect between the nation’s focus and the condition of the world. As threats mulDANA MILBANK tiply in the Middle East and Europe, President Obama delivered on Tuesday night an annual message to Congress that was determinedly domestic.

And his inward-looking gaze is shared by lawmakers and the public.

Thousands of foreign fighters have joined with Muslim extremists in Syria and Iraq, and their fanatical cause has inspired sympathizers across the globe: 17 killed by terrorists in Paris; terrorism raids and a shoot-out in Belgium; a hunt for sleeper cells across Europe; a gunman attacking the Canadian Parliament; an Ohio man arrested after buying guns and ammunition, allegedly with plans to attack the Capitol. Even Australia has raised its terrorist threat level.

And yet, when it comes to countering the terrorism threat in America, the State of the Union is nonchalant. “We are 15 years into this new century, 15 years that dawned with terror touching our shores,” Obama said at the start of his speech.

“It has been, and still is, a hard time for many. But tonight, we turn the page.”

Obama, full of swagger, turned the page — several pages — from the start of his address, when he assured Americans that “the shadow of crisis has passed,” before arriving at his discussion of national security.

He went more than halfway through his speech before mentioning the “challenges beyond our shores.” He said that “we stand united with people around the world who’ve been targeted by terrorists, from a school in Pakistan to the streets of Paris.” But he dwelled on the topic only long enough to say he’d “continue to hunt down terrorists and dismantle their networks” and “keep our country safe while strengthening privacy.”

The proposals were decidedly domestic: Increasing the capital-gains tax, boosting cybersecurity, encouraging paid family and sick leave, reviving free-trade deals and expanding access to broadband and community college.

The response to Obama’s address, delivered by new Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, gave terrorism no more prominence than Obama did. Indeed, the new Republican Congress has been just as domestic in its emphasis.

Meanwhile, Republicans in both chambers are preparing for a showdown with Obama next month — and a possible shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security — as they attempt to defund his executive orders on immigration.

With national leaders averting their gaze from terrorism, only 2 percent of the American public says terrorism is the top problem facing the nation, according to a Gallup poll this month. This compares with 46 percent in October 2001, 19 percent in 2004, dropping all the way to 1 percent in 2010 and then 4 percent last year. Only 1 percent said the Islamic State is the top problem, and 2 percent cited national security generally — versus 3 in 10 who cited economic issues.

At the same time, the administration’s secrecy and misinformation regarding the National Security Agency’s electronic eavesdropping methods have left the public skeptical about programs that will be vital to disrupting terrorism in the United States. A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found that a small plurality of Americans thought such programs would go too far; until the past couple of years, Americans were more concerned that such efforts wouldn’t go far enough.

The fight against terrorism got its mention, and Obama called on Congress to authorize continuing military strikes against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq.

But both had small roles in the speech.

Obama was livelier, and downright cocky, in the domestic portion of his address, speaking conversationally as he recited gains in the economy and health care and departing from his prepared text to proclaim, “This is good news, people.”

If — God forbid — terrorists do here what they did in Paris and attempted in Brussels, the State of the Union in 2015 will be remembered as complacent.

Bill would make fourth-offense DUI a felony

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Washington state lawmakers are revisiting an idea to make a driver’s fourth drunken-driving conviction within 10 years a felony.

Under current Washington law, a felony DUI charge applies only if a driver already has been convicted of DUI four times in the previous decade. That’s the highest threshold among the 45 states that have laws to make repeat DUI offenders felons, said the bill’s author, Sen. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley.

Everybody says, ‘We support the policy, we support the policy,’ but if we really support the policy, we’ll pass the bill.

— Se. Mike Padden, R-Spokane Valley

Padden first proposed the idea last year but said that bill failed because of concerns over the expense of imprisoning more drunken drivers for felony

convictions. He said Wednesday he believes this year’s bill has a better chance because a handful of Senate Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors. The measure

also has support from Padden’s Republican colleagues.

“I think it’s a matter of priorities,” Padden said. “... We may need another prison, or to put one that we have in mothballs into operation.”

He said several victims of car crashes caused by repeat DUI offenders are scheduled to speak at a public hearing Thursday.

Senate Bill 5105 will be before the Senate Law and Justice Committee, of which Padden is the chairman.

Capitol lawmakers have contemplated lowering Washington’s threshold for felony DUI from the

fifth offense to the fourth offense since 2013, upon the recommendation of a work group created

by Gov. Jay Inslee to toughen impaired-driving laws after a series of fatal wrecks.

Padden said he hopes the cost obstacle can be overcome this year to bring Washington’s DUI law closer to those in neighboring states. Both Oregon and Idaho have laws to make a driver’s third DUI within a decade a felony, Padden said.

“Everybody says, ‘We support the policy, we support the policy,’ but if we really support the policy, we’ll pass the bill,” he said.

Pot candy gets new scrutiny

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

DEAN J. KOEPFLER / THE NEWS TRIBUNE

The ferry Kalakala is moored on the Hylebos waterway Tuesday. The Puget Sound maritime icon will be towed early Thursday morning to the Concrete Technology Inc. graving yard facility on the Blair waterway in Tacoma, where it will be demolished for scrap.

Final voyage for historic Kalakala Associated Press TACOMA — The historic ferry Kalakala — once the silver symbol of progress on Puget Sound — will make its final trip Thursday, a two-mile tow to a scrap yard in Tacoma.

The News Tribune reported it will be moved gently on the early tide because of fragile nature of the hull. Pumps are on board should it start to take on water.

Officials expect it will take about an hour to make the trip from the Hylebos Waterway, where it has been moored for a decade, to a graving dock on the

Blair Waterway, where it will be demolished for scrap.

Rhine Demolition is handling the salvage and will decide whether to offer any souvenirs to the public.

Plans to restore the Kalakala never came up with enough money.

Proposed medical school gets a boost

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — Two Spokane legislators introduced bills Wednesday that would help pave the way for a new Washington State University medical school in Spokane.

State Sen. Michael Baumgartner, a Republican, and state Rep. Marcus Riccelli, a Democrat, introduced the bills in each chamber.

Baumgartner’s bill has 17 co-sponsors and Riccelli’s has 60 co-sponsors, which he said showed broad support.

The bills would eliminate a restriction dating from 1917 that gives the University of Washington in Seattle the exclusive right to operate a public medical school in the state. The UW medical school admits only 120 Washington medical students each year.

“A lot of folks on both sides of the aisle support stronger, more

vibrant medical instruction in Washington,” Riccelli said. “Multiple medical schools are the norm in most states.”

Washington State has proposed opening its own medical school in Spokane to address a big shortage of doctors across the state, especially in rural areas.

The school commissioned a study showing it is well-positioned to pursue an accredited medical school.

The University of Washington has proposed that its existing medical programs be expanded, and has commissioned a study showing that is the most costeffective way to produce more doctors in Washington.

The two universities have agreed not to oppose each other’s proposals in the Legislature. Lawmakers will decide which, if any, expansion of medical education to fund.

Washington State University proposes to expand an existing medical

training facility at its branch campus in Spokane into a new medical school.

The university will seek an appropriation of $2.5 million in this year’s operating budget to begin the accreditation process, the lawmakers said.

“I am pleased but not at all surprised by the strong support for this bill,” Baumgartner said.

“We’re saying a law written nearly 100 years ago should not dictate the way we teach medicine in the 21st century.”

The lawmakers said the law has limited Washington to a single medical school, while most states of 7 million people have multiple medical schools.

Enrollment by Washington residents at the UW medical school is limited by funding to 120 each fall.

Yet every year Washington produces 350 students who continue on to medical school, meaning two-thirds are forced to leave the state, the lawmakers said.

Many never return, a factor that contributes to a shortage of physicians statewide and an unbalanced distribution of physicians within the state, the lawmakers said.

Half the state’s doctors are based in King County.

Just to reach the national average for the number of med-school slots per capita, Washington would need space for 440 students, the lawmakers said. Washington State hopes to enroll 120 medical students within a decade.

Riccelli said 67 percent of medical school students settle in the state where they receive their undergraduate and graduate medical training.

“By having top-notch schools on both sides of the Cascades, we can reduce the doctor shortage across the state, particularly in the small communities across Eastern Washington where family physicians are needed the most,” he said.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A key lawmaker says a marijuana overdose in an Oregon resort town shows the need to go slowly on making pot-infused candies, cookies and other edibles available to the public.

Sen. Ginny Burdick cochairs a committee working on implementing the ballot measure approved last fall that legalized recreational marijuana. She said Wednesday she’s not willing to allow the sale of marijuana edibles until regulators figure out how to control potency and keep them away from children.

“I don’t think we are in a position to approve any kind of edibles right now,” Burdick said. “We have to figure out a way to package them, label them, and make sure people understand the dosage.”

Commercial pot sales are not expected to start until late 2016, though Oregonians can legally possess up to a half pound of marijuana at home starting in July.

Measure 91 allows for edible forms of marijuana to be sold, but because it is not a constitutional amendment, it can be changed by the Legislature.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission is developing regulations.

Colorado and Washington, where recreational marijuana is legal, have struggled with the issues of dosage and labeling with marijuana edibles.

Police in Sunriver said an officer called to a condominium Monday found a 37-year-old woman from Washington slumped on a bathroom floor, pale and having trouble breathing. She was numb from the shoulders down.

Police Chief Marc Mills said it was the officer’s first experience with a marijuana overdose and that he initially thought the woman had overdosed on heroin. It soon became clear she had eaten three marijuana candies shaped like raspberries that had been brought by another woman. That woman bought the candies in a shop in Washington, police said.

The candies were in a plastic container with no packaging indicating how potent they were or how to use them.

“The comment was that they tasted pretty good, and she had one, then had another, and had another, and then all of a sudden, ‘Oh, not feeling so good,”’ said Mills.

Medics treated the woman at the scene, and she refused to go to the hospital. Officers confiscated the candy and cited the woman who bought it for having less than an ounce of marijuana, police said.

2 on leave after UO records illegally released Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — The University of Oregon has put two unnamed employees on leave after the illegal release of 22,000 pages of records from the president’s office.

The records weren’t reviewed to see whether releasing them would violate privacy laws, university spokesman Tobin Klinger said.

The material, in

electronic form, was released to a professor who had sought it, Klinger told The Oregonian.

He said it includes correspondence between the university’s last four presidents and parents, students and faculty members but doesn’t contain information that would help an identity thief.

“I don’t want anybody to equate it to a financial institution having their records hacked and spewed all over

the planet,” he said.

The school’s interim president, Scott Coltrane, made the announcement in an email sent out Tuesday night.

“The information was sent to a university professor, and we have already requested that the professor return the information and refrain from any public release of confidential information,” Coltrane wrote. “To our knowledge, only one record has been

shared externally at this point.”

Michael Dreiling, president of the United Academics union that represents faculty and staff members, said the evening email was like nothing he’d seen in his 17 years at the university.

“It’s a mystery,” he said.

Oregon law requires public institutions such as the University of Oregon and state agencies to release information

upon request.

But the public-records law exempts various types of information from disclosure, safeguarding personal privacy, trade secrets, personnel records, financial data and other sensitive material. Officials can redact confidential information before releasing documents.

Klinger said the information was released as officials transferred records from the president’s office

to the archive, which happens routinely when presidents leave office.

Coltrane, a former provost, became interim president after President Michael Gottfredson resigned abruptly in August amid plunging donations, declining faculty morale and allegations of mishandling sexual violence.

He was the university’s fourth president in six years.

Oregon State yearbook dead; students try magazine

By Anthony Rimel Corvallis Gazette-Times

CORVALLIS, Ore. — After a 120-year run, the Oregon State University yearbook is done.

But a group of dedicated students — mostly volunteers or working for class credit — is creating a new free magazine to fill the void left by the publication’s end.

Jodie Davaz, the editorin-chief of the Beavers Digest, said the yearbook had been struggling for years because few students were willing to pay its $50 to $60 cost.

According to Davaz, the tipping point came at the end of the last school year. After two rounds of seeking applicants, university staff couldn’t find anyone to serve as the yearbook’s editor or business

manager. So, they opened up the position for people interested in recreating the yearbook as something new.

That’s where Davaz came in. A senior studying digital communication arts, Davaz was the manager of OSU’s student radio station, KBVR at the time. She said she was looking for an opportunity to broaden her journalistic skills, so she pitched the idea of a once-a-term magazine that focused on OSU’s clubs.

She said her idea was to have the photos and club focus of the yearbook combined with the storytelling of the student newspaper, The Barometer, with the emphasis on in-depth feature stories.

“I thought we could do this in a way nobody had before,” she said.

Davaz and her team,

which includes paid staffers Halie Sutton and Maranda McArthur and about 25 volunteers, celebrated the launch of their first issue Thursday.

Organizing the team and

creating the magazine all came from scratch, Davaz said. She asked friends-offriends and reached out through OSU email lists.

Anyone interested in participating was welcomed.

Whitney Lauren Han and Sutton, both sophomores in digital communication arts, were among those who worked on the first issue of the Beavers Digest.

Its cover is of the crowd at a Beavers football game.

“It’s definitely cool to be part of the first issue,” Sutton said. The cover exemplifies a key difference between the yearbook and Beavers Digest: The yearbook devoted more pages to sports than anything else. But the new publication focuses more on the average student’s experience, which in this case was watching the game from the stands.

“We’re making very deliberate choices,” Davaz said. Because Beavers sports are well covered by other media, the Beavers Digest can offer a more distinct focus on clubs.

Han, who wrote several stories that appear in the inaugural Beavers Digest, said she likes hearing people’s stories.

“It’s been a great learning experience so far,” she said.

The magazine might inspire students to get more involved in the featured organizations, Han said, which in turn could give them a better college experience.

Beavers Digest is funded exclusively through student fees, is free to readers and carries no advertising.

Davaz, who aspires to be a feature writer in print or radio, said the next steps for the publication are to better develop its web presence, and to continue to improve.

“I want this issue we just put out to be our worst issue ever. It’s only going to go up from here.”

the Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported. Gamble told the regents in November that the university system likely will face another substantial gap between revenue and spending despite absorbing a $26 million funding shortfall in 2014.

No inhaler charges seen WOODLAND — Police Chief Phillip Crochet said no charges will be filed against a school principal who gave her prescription inhaler to a student having an asthma attack.

Chief Phillip Crochet said Woodland Middle School Principal Cari Thomson may have acted illegally by sharing a prescription medication, but it may have saved the boy’s life.

The Daily News reported the father of the seventhgrader is sure Thomson was trying to help his son

last month, but he worried her inhaler was too strong for him. Thomson is on leave while the district investigates other complaints brought by teachers and parents.

Alaska: Air quality testimony Fairbanks area residents would be penalized for spreading pollution, under proposed air-quality measure under consideration by the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly.

The Fairbanks Daily NewsMiner reported that about 75 people attended the meeting Tuesday before the Air Pollution Control Commission. Most of the 40 people who testified were against the proposed

ordinance, which outlines smoke opacity requirements as well as possible fines. The panel is to vote on the measure Jan. 29.

Seahawks continue to use doubt as motivation Although at times misguided, many Seattle players play with huge chips on their shoulders

R Connor Hamlett drives towards the basket during a pick-up basketball game at the Harbour Square Athletic Club in Edmonds.

GENNA MARTIN / THE HERALD

At peace moving on

Meadowdale High School alum and former Oregon State tight end Connor Hamlett has decided not to pursue an NFL career due to ongoing knee issues

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

L

YNNWOOD — Having completed his college football career at Oregon State University, it was thought Connor Hamlett would spend the coming months preparing for this spring’s NFL draft.

Instead Hamlett is preparing for life after football.

The 22-year-old Hamlett, a 2010 graduate of Meadowdale High School, went through three minor knee surgeries during and after his junior season at OSU. He then played his final season last fall “at about 80 percent” because of ongoing knee pain and other issues.

Knowing the punishment his knees would endure if he tried to make an NFL roster, let alone if he played professionally for several seasons, Hamlett decided it was better to step away.

“The doctors said I could keep rehabbing and keep playing, but I didn’t think I could get to the level (necessary to play pro football),” Hamlett said. After three arthroscopic surgeries to correct meniscus damage, “my knee just

kept swelling up. I guess it never really healed right. It was painful and it was never really getting better.

“To play (in the NFL), you can’t be at 80 percent,” he said. “So after the season I decided it was time to hang it up. I didn’t want to be in pain every day. I felt like it was time to move on and live a normal life.”

It is an unfortunate outcome for Hamlett, a 6-foot-7, 266-pound tight end who started most of the past three seasons at OSU. After his junior season, some analysts projected that he would be a fifth-round NFL draft pick, and perhaps even higher. He also was named to the John Mackey Award watch list, a preseason listing of the nation’s top collegiate tight ends.

“I would’ve been really shocked if he wasn’t drafted,” said John Garrett, Oregon State’s offensive coordinator and tight ends coach last season.

“He had a very good chance of making it in the NFL. He has the ability (at tight end) to be both a blocker and a pass catcher ... with excellent receiving skills, tremendous hand-eye coordination and excellent See HAMLETT, Page C4

Former Oregon State tight end Connor Hamlett, a Meadowdale High School graduate, started most of the past three seasons with the Beavers.

ENTON — On one hand, the whole thing seemed a bit silly.

After his team pulled off a miraculous comeback in the NFC Championship game, Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin went out of his way to find reporters waiting to be let into Seattle’s locker room and launched into an impassioned speech, calling out everyone who had doubted his team, both in that game and throughout the season.

“You don’t want to believe in us, it’s OK,” Baldwin said Sunday.

“You don’t have to believe in us, because we’re going to believe in ourselves. We ain’t worried about y’all, we’re worried about ourselves.”

Essentially, Baldwin was going out of his way to seek out reporters so he could tell said reporters he isn’t worried about their opinions.

Basically, “We don’t care about you, reporters JOHN BOYLE who I just sought out to tell you I don’t care about you.”

He also kept mentioning everyone counting them out and not believing in the Seahawks, which was the case at times in that game, but all year? The Seahawks are the defending champs and were many people’s — mine included — pick to repeat.

So no, Doug, not everyone has doubted the Seahawks, even when you were 3-3 and 6-4.

But while it’s easy to be critical of an athlete playing the “nobody believes in us” card when in fact many, many people believe in them, Baldwin’s rant was also, to borrow his word, indicative of what has helped the Seahawks get back to the Super Bowl the year after winning it, something that hadn’t been done in a decade.

Monroe edges Kamiak in back-and-forth contest Bearcats avenge close loss to Knights earlier in the season with 65-56 win.

Monroe defeated Kamiak 65-56.

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

MUKILTEO — Earlier in the season, Kamiak edged Monroe by two points in a girls basketball game that featured five ties and 21 lead changes.

For three quarters, it looked as though the drama of Wednesday night’s game between the two teams would surpass that of the first game.

The Knights and Bearcats were tied nine times and there were 17 lead changes

in the game’s first 24 minutes. The last lead change, a 3-pointer by Monroe’s Alex Alexander with 21 seconds to go in the third quarter proved to be the game’s last.

The Bearcats pulled away in the fourth quarter for a 65-56 victory.

“More than anything, I think it’s the confidence we’ve been building along the way,” Monroe head coach Matt Chalfant said of his team’s ability to pull away in the fourth quarter. “I think it started back in the Mountlake Terrace

tournament when we beat Garfield and we beat Inglemoor. The girls started to understand that we can beat quality opponents and then their confidence just started rising. I think that’s helped us in these close games.”

Monroe’s win has the Bearcats tied with Snohomish for second place in the Wesco 4A, each with a 6-2 record. The Panthers and Bearcats are each one game behind Lake Stevens, which See BEARCATS, Page C5

Utes rout Cougars Herald news services SALT LAKE CITY — Brandon Taylor had 18 points and seven assists, and Delon Wright added 17 points and eight assists to help No. 12 Utah beat Washington State 86-64 on Wednesday night.

After losing to thenNo. 10 Arizona 69-51 last Saturday, the Utes (15-3, 5-1 Pac-12) rebounded in a big way by returning to their winning ways at home, where Utah has defeated unranked opponents 31 straight times.

Jordan Loveridge scored 14 points for Utah, which played without Jakob Poeltl (ankle) but exploited a 20-1 edge in points off turnovers to turn the game into a blowout.

DaVonté Lacy scored 15 points and Jordan Railey had 12 for the Cougars (9-9, 3-3). Josh Hawkinson had 12 points and 10 rebounds for his 11th double-double of the season.

The game could have been capsulized in one play that gave Utah a 78-58 cushion. Wright nabbed his third steal on an entry pass, found Taylor on the fast break and he threw an alley-oop pass to Dakarai Tucker for a layup.

Taylor’s 3-pointer gave Utah a 60-42 advantage, but the Cougars took advantage of a Utes cold spell and made three 3-pointers in a row. Brett Boese, who had 12 points, hit a long-range jumper that drew the Cougars to 62-52 with 10:54 to play.

Washington State led by four early and trailed 27-25 before the Utes picked up the pressure and prevented the Cougars from converting another field goal the rest of the half.

On the other end, Loveridge sparked a 19-2 run with a 3-pointer while getting fouled.

The Utes led 46-27 at the break.

Baker Lake sockeye State Fish and Wildlife Department salmon management folks expect a large turnout for the public meeting Jan. 31 in Mill Creek to discuss prospects for a Baker Lake sockeye fishery and management tactics for the lake and for both recreational and tribal commercial sockeye fisheries on the Skagit River.

The meeting starts at 10 a.m. at the department’s Mill Creek office (16018 Mill Creek Blvd.). The phone number there is 425-775-1311.

The meeting will cover the 2014 season, and draft management proposals derived from ideas the public presented at a similar meeting last November, according to state fish program policy lead Ron Warren.

Warren said the “certainty” issue

seems to be of most interest among the recreational fishing fraternity — the timing of fish transport between the river and Baker Lake, the runsize forecast and a reliable estimate of the percentage of that run they can expect to see in the lake.

Prior to Jan. 31, the state will post draft meeting materials online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/salmon/sockeye/baker_river.html.

This past year, 13,788 sockeye were trapped below the lower Baker Dam and 6,819 fish were transported to the lake. The remaining fish were used for spawning.

Area 9 opener Marine Area 9, including Possession Bar, reopened to salmon fishing Jan. 16 and results were pretty good for local waters. State creel checks at the Port of Everett ramp on Saturday tallied 19 boats and 39 fishermen with 12 chinook, which isn’t bad blackmouth fishing.

All Star Charters skipper Nick Kester fished between Point No Point and Pilot Point on Saturday, according to All Star owner Gary Krein, and boated five keepers. Two of those fish were pushing 10 pounds, Krein said.

Small spoons such as the 2½ or 3-inch yellowtail Kingfisher Lite worked well, Krein said, along with a new — and similar — spoon called a Herring Aide, being introduced at the boat show by Gold Star.

Another acquaintance fished that same area Monday and did well, Krein said.

Burbot info A sturgeon fisherman at the sturgeon platform just below John Day Dam on the Columbia brought in an unusual fish for the big river — a burbot. State Fish and Wildlife Department biologist Joe Hymer in Vancouver passed along the information from Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife employee Wendy Martin, and added a list of waters in Washington where burbot, sometimes called “freshwater ling,” can be caught: Lake Chelan, Banks Lake, Lake Cle Elum, Lake Kachess, Lake Keechelus, Palmer Lake in Okanogan County, Bead Lake and Sullivan Lake, both in Pend Oreille County, and Lake Roosevelt.

The state has produced a video on how to catch burbot, Hymer said. See it at https://www.youtube. com/watch?feature=player_ embedded&v=w26msbijPks. For more outdoor news, visit Wayne Kruse’s blog at www.heraldnet. com/huntingandfishing.

Huskies hope to end struggles in Colorado

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

BOULDER, Colo. — Each visit R to the Coors Events Center, the basketball arena with the highest altitude in the Pac-12, has proven to be a difficult climb for the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team.

Since the Colorado Buffaloes joined the conference in 201112, the Huskies have played here twice, and twice left defeated by wide margins. In their history, they have won in Boulder just twice in eight tries, and not since Dec. 15, 1977 — before the Coors Events Center even opened (it’s worth noting, too, that UW holds a 7-1 record against CU at home, with the loss coming in 1956).

In 2012, it was an 87-69 blowout for Colorado. Last season, the Huskies played perhaps their worst game of the year in Boulder against a Colorado team they’d previously beaten at home, losing 91-65.

“They just flat-out beat us both times,” UW coach Lorenzo Romar said.

Their game against Colorado on Thursday should be more competitive. And not just because the Buffaloes are at less than full strength, with junior guard Xavier Johnson suspended for a game — he scored a career-high 27 points in last season’s beatdown — and forward Josh Scott still day-to-day (back spasms).

This year’s UW squad seems a little more capable when playing away from home, though the Huskies did lose their first two Pac-12 road games, at California and Stanford, during the opening weekend of league play. A victory over Seattle University at KeyArena still stands as UW’s only true road win, despite it being played five miles from campus.

But they’re also 5-0 this season on neutral courts — including a win over No. 19 Oklahoma in Las Vegas — and Romar doesn’t

think the Huskies lack confidence on the road.

“You can go on the road, and you can watch teams that (have) just a little doubt — ‘can we really get this done?’ You have that kind of look on your face,” Romar said.

“I haven’t seen that with this team.

“I’ve never sensed that we had doubt or have been afraid to play on the road. I actually feel like we’ve embraced it at this point.”

The challenge in Boulder is always a little different. Folks here are proud of their arena’s altitude — 5,345 feet, a sign outside the visitor’s locker room informs — and Romar believes the thin air can have an impact on visiting teams. For about five minutes, anyway, before they catch their breath. Any lingering effect after that is probably psychological.

More problematic is that Colorado has simply fielded quality basketball teams since joining the Pac-12. But this year has been a struggle. The Buffaloes are 9-8 and coming off an ugly sweep at the hands of Arizona and Arizona State, games they played without either Johnson or Scott.

Washington (13-4, 2-3) saw its rotation shortened with a knee injury to starting forward Jernard Jarreau, and has adapted by playing almost exclusively zone on defense.

“One of the things that’s important if you’re doing something new or changing something is, there has to be a belief that it’s going to be able to work,” Romar said. “And I think the more we do it, the more we’re effective in it, the more our guys believe that it’s something that can work for us.”

Roof open or closed for Super Bowl?

NFL’s deflating controversy as Super Bowl looms

By Adam Kilgore and Mark Maske The Washington Post

Associated Press

On Feb. 1, the New England Patriots will attempt to extend their dynastic run atop the National Football League. The Patriots’ offense, led by the grace of quarterback Tom Brady and the grim formulation of head coach Bill Belichick, will attempt to unseat the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

Yet the nation’s most heated sporting debate revolves around the proper amount of air inside a football.

An alluring Super Bowl matchup has given way to an even more captivating subplot this week. The NFL’s investigation into whether the Patriots improperly deflated footballs in the AFC championship game against the Indianapolis Colts — thereby giving Brady and his receivers a better grip on the ball in rainy weather — has raised more intrigue than even the game itself.

Entering their sixth Super Bowl in 14 years, the Patriots once again find themselves swathed in a controversy that calls into question the ethics of their two most famous faces: Brady, the golden boy quarterback and Belichick, the wicked genius coach.

Apart from the arcane specifics of the incident — allegations league officials regard as “very serious,” a person familiar with the league’s deliberations said Wednesday — the episode has spurred larger questions. What is the line between gamesmanship and fraud? Could their potential punishment affect the Super Bowl? Can the Patriots’ dominance over more than a decade be separated from their alleged — and, in some cases, proven — underhandedness? And since when could the pounds per square inch of air pressure of a pigskin cause so much fuss?

“Listen, if they did it, then it’s cheating,” former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle and likely Hall of Famer Tony Boselli said. “If you did it, if you cheated, there needs to be consequences.

It depends if they all knew or if there was a mistake or it was oversight. A lot could go into it.”

Most of those details involve specifics almost no one cared about last week. According to an ESPN report, the footballs were under-inflated by two pounds per square inch of air pressure. NFL rules require the footballs to be inflated to between 12.5 and 13.5 pounds per square inch and to weigh from 14 to 15 ounces.

Under NFL rules, each team provides footballs for use while it is on offense. The game officials inspect the footballs prior to kickoff, and the balls then are given to attendants who are provided by the home team — not by the league.

Manipulating footballs, several NFL officials said, surely happens all across the league, and quarterbacks have particular preferences. One NFL assistant coach said he had heard of — but never seen first-hand — quarterbacks slipping an inflation needle into their socks in order to adjust footballs on the sideline. Former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart wrote on Twitter: “Every team tampers with the footballs. Ask any Qb In the league, this is ridiculous!!”

“A deflated football is an advantage for a quarterback to throw and a receiver to catch in the conditions they played in Sunday,” said former Washington Redskins general manager Charley Casserly, who once sat on the NFL’s rule-making Competition Committee. “Regardless of that, if the ball is deflated below what it’s supposed to be, that’s a huge issue. If one team has deflated balls playing at any point, especially in bad weather, that’s a huge advantage. And the Patriots should be punished.”

PHOENIX — The Super Bowl location in sunny Arizona will present a dilemma for league officials as they grapple with a question that is faced by many pro sports teams in an era of retractable roofs: whether to play the game with the stadium open or closed.

At this point, the NFL says it plans to keep the retractable roof open at University of Phoenix Stadium for the Feb. 1 game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, but the plan can change as the league gets a better read on the weather forecast for game night. If there is a sign of inclement weather, the roof will be shut.

The fact that the question is even up for debate may seem strange given the location. The game will be played in a place where tens of thousands of visitors flock each winter for the sole purpose of basking in the warm sun, and last year’s Super Bowl took place in New Jersey with the temperature around 40 degrees at kickoff.

But the occupants of the stadium and the other three NFL teams with retractable roof stadiums actually play many more games indoors than with the roof open, even if their counterparts in cold-weather cities like Buffalo, Green Bay and Chicago get by in open-air facilities.

The Cardinals did not play a single game with the roof open this season, despite spectacular weather for some late-season games. The Dallas Cowboys opened the roof of their $1.3 billion stadium once in the past two NFL seasons for Cowboys games. The Indianapolis Colts have played about a third of their games outside since opening their stadium in 2008, while the Houston Texans have opened their roof for about 40 percent of the games dating back to their founding in 2002.

Since the Cardinals’ stadium was built in 2006, the team has played 22 games with the roof open and 71 with it closed.

As for the fan experience, many believe the closed roof makes it louder inside and creates a powerful home-field advantage that was on full display this season when the Cardinals went 7-1 at home.

Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who injured his elbow in Sunday’s NFC championship game, participates in practice on Wednewday.

Sherman practices Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who injured his left elbow in the NFC championship game, insists he will play in Super Bowl.

Herald Writer

RENTON — Following the NFC championship game in which he finished the game playing through a painful elbow injury, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman insisted he will “100 percent be able to play” in the Super Bowl.

And three days later when Seattle returned to practice, Sherman was indeed on the field participating fully. Sherman said his elbow, is still “a little bit sore,” but is “better than it was during the game.”

How much better? Asked about his range of motion, Sherman grinned and said, “If I had to slap my brother, I’d be able to do it.”

As for that 100 percent quote, Sherman wasn’t backing down from that Wednesday, saying, “That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

Sherman acknowledged that trainers will likely make him wear a brace in practice but said, “They think it’ll be better by game day. There shouldn’t

be any limitations, honestly.

My left stiff-arm might not be the greatest right now, but other than that, I think I’ll be pretty decent.”

After Sherman injured his elbow on the first play of the fourth quarter, it was very apparent he was hurting. And with his left arm pinned to his chest, he was basically playing one-handed. Yet Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers never really tested Sherman after the injury, something the Seahawks cornerback thought might happen.

Then again, as Sherman notes, Rodgers paid the price for throwing his way earlier, throwing a first-quarter interception in the end zone.

The Packers did complete one short pass in front of Sherman to Jordy Nelson, forcing the cornerback to make a painful tackle. But that third-down play was followed by Green Bay’s game-tying field goal, and was the last time Seattle’s defense was on the field.

“Was I surprised? Somewhat,” Sherman said. “I thought

Seahawks don’t have much to say about Patriots’ Deflate-Gate

By John Boyle Herald Writer

RENTON — On a day when the biggest story in the NFL revolved around a controversy in New England, it was inevitable that some Seattle Seahawks players would be asked about the deflated football scandal surrounding the Patriots.

A few players smiled or laughed when asked about the Patriots’ reportedly tampering with the air pressure of footballs in the AFC championship game, but didn’t say much on the topic.

“Can I really answer this question? What do you want me to say to this? Can I answer it truthfully?” wide receiver Doug Baldwin said, noting the member of the team’s media relations staff standing directly behind him. “I don’t know.

Sorry.”

Quarterback Russell Wilson didn’t have much to say on the topic either, saying, “I don’t know anything about that, so there’s not much I can

comment on that. They’re a great team, so I don’t think that’s an issue probably, but I have no idea.”

Asked if he has any preference on how inflated or roughed up a football is, Wilson laughed and said, “Just as long as they have laces. As long as the football has laces, I’m good to go.”

As you might expect, cornerback Richard Sherman had a bit more to say, but stopped short of taking any shots at next week’s opponent.

Asked if he’s ever noticed a ball being underinflated, Sherman said, “I have to go back to my collection (of interceptions) and check them now. I’ve got to see if there are pounds missing or anything like that.

“No, I’ve never heard of that, and I’m not sure anything will come of it, honestly, if it’s true or not true. It’s not going to have any effect on this game.

Nobody’s going to get suspended, nothing’s going to happen. They’re going to play this game. Whatever they did,

the risk-reward is better.”

Sherman then turned to a topic that has been an issue in the minds of many players around the league for a while — the inconsistency of punishment handed out by the league.

For example, the NFL reportedly was prepared to not let running back Marshawn Lynch play in the NFC championship game against the Packers on Sunday if he came out in the gold shoes he was planning to wear.

And players are regularly fined large amounts of money for uniform violations, such as wearing the wrong socks. Yet as Sherman notes, there’s a good chance New England won’t deal with any punishment for doctoring balls, at least not before the Super Bowl.

“They were going to suspend Marshawn for gold shoes ... but then you’ve got balls being deflated, and that’s the issue,” Sherman said.

Herald Writer John Boyle: jboyle@heraldnet.com

SEATTLE — Earthquake experts with the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network have analyzed the CenturyLink Field shaking during the Seahawks’ 28-22 win over the Green Bay Packers in Sunday’s NFC title game.

The experts say the biggest event was caused by all the jumping and dancing that followed the touchdown and two-point conversion that gave Seattle its first lead of the game near the end of regulation.

The University of Washington’s Steve Malone calls it a “dance quake” generated by bouncing fans.

Malone said that dance quake was the biggest seismic signal associated with a Seahawks game — even bigger than the 2011 “beast quake” that followed a Marshawn Lynch touchdown run and originally drew the attention of earthquake trackers.

Other earthshaking events Sunday were Seattle’s fake-fieldgoal touchdown and the winning touchdown in overtime.

they’d try at least one. ... The pass to Jordy, it did not feel great at all. Not fun, it wasn’t a fun down for me, but I got him down, they were off the field.

“They kicked a field goal and we didn’t have to go back on the field, so that was a good moment for us. It was sore, but I got an interception earlier in the game. Everybody that told him to throw at me kind of swallowed what they said after that point. ‘Oh, maybe that’s why you don’t throw at him, because he intercepts the football, and he’s caught 27 of them in the last four years, so you probably should stop throwing at him.’ That might have been what they were thinking.”

Free safety Earl Thomas, who separated his shoulder but returned to the game and is expected to play in the Super Bowl, sat out Wednesday’s practice. Also sitting out with injuries were guard J.R. Sweezy (ankle) and long snapper Clint Gresham (neck). Tackle Justin Britt, who missed Sunday’s game with a sore knee, was a full participant in practice.

Solo suspended for 30 days from U.S. women’s team Associated Press Goalkeeper Hope Solo has been suspended from the U.S. women’s national team for 30 days and won’t participate in matches next month in Europe.

U.S. Soccer did not specify the reason for the suspension, announced Wednesday night. It comes after the arrest of her husband, former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, earlier this week on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Solo, who played at the University of Washington, was in the car when Stevens was pulled over in Manhattan Beach, California, about 1:30 a.m.

Monday for driving without headlights. Solo was not arrested or detained.

It is the latest off-field trouble for Solo. Earlier this month, a judge dismissed two misdemeanor counts of domestic violence against her.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper was in Southern California for

training camp with the U.S. national team, which is preparing to play in the World Cup starting in June.

“During our current National Team camp, Hope made a poor decision that has resulted in a negative impact on U.S. Soccer and her teammates,” coach Jill Ellis said in a statement. “We feel at this time it is best for her to step away from the team.”

Solo, who has won two Olympic gold medals with the U.S. team, was released from camp.

“I accept and respect the Federation’s decision, and more importantly, I apologize for disappointing my teammates, coaches and the Federation who have always supported me,” Solo said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press on Wednesday night. “I think it’s best for me to take a break, decompress from the stress of the last several months, and come back mentally and physically ready to positively contribute to the team.”

concentration on the ball.

He made some excellent catches throughout his career.

“Boy, I’m thinking I should call him up and encourage him to give it a shot,” said Garrett, the brother of Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, “because he has a great chance of making a team.”

An MRI early in the 2013 season revealed that Hamlett had meniscus damage in his right knee.

He underwent surgery midway through the season, missed a few games, then had a second procedure after the regular-season finale against Oregon. He returned to play in OSU’s lateDecember bowl game, but then had a minor operation on his left knee following the season.

Even after the corrective surgeries, Hamlett had knee pain and swelling throughout his senior season. It diminished his speed, his ability to plant and abruptly change directions, and to generate power for blocking.

“Some weeks were better than others,” he said. “Some weeks it’d be really sore at the end of the game, but then some weeks it was better. But I wasn’t really having fun because I was in pain and I was worrying about it.”

By late season, Hamlett realized his football career might be winding down. “I was trying not to think about it because I wanted to focus on the games, but it was in my mind,” he said.

After talking it over with his family following the season, including older brother Casey Hamlett who played at Washington State, “I knew it was the right decision. I like football, but I also knew

I could be successful at other things.”

Though Hamlett admits the prospect of an NFL salary “is definitely tempting” — the league minimum was $420,000 in 2014, and it will be higher this year — “I don’t want to (play) just for the money. My whole thing is that I want to be happy. And I don’t want to be in pain and not loving what I do every day.”

After graduating from OSU in December — a business management major, he had a cumulative 3.3 GPA and was an All-Pacific-12 Conference Academic selection as a senior — Hamlett is back living in his family’s Edmonds home. He spends his days playing pick-up basketball and doing other workouts, and pondering his career options.

“I don’t have any work experience at all because I’ve played sports my whole life,” he said with a grin. “But I’m looking at the career paths I could take. Something with finance probably. I’ve always been good at math and I’ve always loved crunching numbers, so probably something in that field.”

“Whatever he does, whether he pursues something in sports or out of sports, he’s going to be a success,” Garrett said. “He’s a guy you’d hire and know he’s going to do a good job because he’s a special kid.”

Of course, the real test for Hamlett’s decision to leave football will come later this year. Because with the 2015 season beginning, he said, “I’m sure I’ll wish I was still out there playing. I’ll probably miss it quite a bit at first. But I think I’ll get over it. And I’m not going to miss all the injuries and the pain of playing.

“I’m in a good place,” he said. “And I’m at peace with moving on.”

is 7-1. The Vikings’ lone league loss came to Monroe, which also has a win over Snohomish.

Both Kamiak and Monroe are very much alive for a league championship, but with the win, the Bearcats control their own destiny. With wins over Lake Stevens and Snohomish already, winning their remaining six league games would mean a league championship for Monroe.

Chalfant knew Wednesday’s game wouldn’t be easy. The games between the Knights and the Bearcats have come down to the wire the last two seasons.

“Both teams are really athletic and really fast, so our game plan coming into tonight was to try to actually limit their possessions,” Chalfant said. “We know that they want to get up and down the floor. We didn’t press.

We just sat back in our man-to-man defense to

From Page C1

Late last season, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll talked about his team’s grit, about how that was one of the defining characteristics they look for in players. Grit can manifest itself in different ways for different players, but for many Seahawks, Baldwin and Richard Sherman chief among them, playing with a massive chip on their shoulders, even after a title, even after awards and recognition, and even after new contracts, is a key element to success.

Maybe it takes a little more effort to manufacture that chip when you’ve got a diamondencrusted ring sitting at home and millions in the bank, but the ability to still do just that has played a role in this team not falling off or getting satisfied after winning a title like so many teams before them have in recent years.

A much calmer Baldwin

try to get stops. The second half was great. We gave up 35 (points) in the first half. I think it was only 18, maybe 20 points in the second, so the adjustments we made at halftime were huge.”

Chalfant was close, the Bearcats gave up 21 points after halftime. Perhaps more importantly, they gave up just one 3-pointer to a team that likes to shoot from long range.

“I think we focused at halftime of really changing where our hand placement was,” Chalfant said. “We really told the girls, ‘hand in the face, contest that shot.’”

The Bearcats outscored the Knights 32-21 in the second half after trailing 35-33 at halftime.

Monroe sophomore Jadynn Alexander led the Bearcats with 18 points, 13 of which came in the first half.

“Jadynn, I couldn’t be more proud of her performance tonight,” Chalfant said. “She’s come a long way. She’s had some

adversity this season.

She’s really learning.

She has all the greatest athletic potential in the world. Everybody sees it, but I think it’s the mental part of the game that’s still growing and it’s getting better every day.”

Not far behind Alexander was Monroe’s senior point guard Kylee Ferreira, who finished with 17 points including three 3-pointers.

“Kylee is our glue of our team,” Chalfant said.

“She’s our emotional leader. She runs the floor and sets the tone for us.

She did a great job.”

Both players benefitted from Monroe’s execution on the offensive end. Chalfant could be heard from the sideline for much of the game encouraging his team to run through their offensive sets and when his team got the shot he wanted them to take, Chalfant was clearly pleased.

“We really believe in putting the defense in

conflict where they’re going to have to choose how to guard us,” Chalfant said. “The girls are getting better every day at reading how the defense is playing us. Based upon that, we’re going to get our looks.”

After winning four straight games and eight of their last nine, confidence is high for the Bearcats, but Chalfant isn’t looking too far down the road.

“We’ve got goals of getting better every single day,” Chalfant said. “We talk about our next opponent. I know it sounds cliche and you hear the Seahawks talk about it and Russell Wilson, but we truly believe it and buy into that because if we don’t take care of tomorrow the things that we want down the road aren’t going to happen.”

openly admitted Wednesday that he seeks out that motivation, saying, “Come game time, I’ll find something to throw out there to my guys to get us fired up.

We’ll be ready come game time.”

“The advantage of it is that you always have something to fall back on in terms of motivation. Not necessarily what people are saying in the media, but having a true chip, a true bolder on your shoulder, finding something deep down inside that motivates you,” Baldwin added. “For me that’s various things.

Sometimes it comes out like you’re yelling at somebody specific, but really it’s not specific, it’s just the built up frustration, whatever it may be, that gets you that motivation.

“That’s for everybody in this locker room. Everybody has something deep down inside of them that pushes them further than their limits. I think that chip on the shoulder, so to speak, is something that helps us and puts us in the situation we’re in, which is going to a second Super

Bowl.”

Sherman said he was still a “raggedy dog” on the day he signed a contract that guaranteed him $40 million; Russell Wilson referred to himself as an “underdog” Wednesday, a reference to his draft status, even though he’s a Pro Bowler and Super-Bowl champion; and even first-round picks like Bruce Irvin find motivation in people criticizing the Seahawks for drafting them when they did.

It might be tempting to say, “Get over it, you’ve made it, nobody doubts you anymore,” but those sometimes over-the-top responses to criticism shown by Baldwin on Sunday and Sherman, well, frequently, are a key part of what makes this team tick. Even if that anger is sometimes misguided, it gets the job done.

“It means something to everyone individually,” Irvin said. “It makes every individually more hungry, but as a team we don’t care about (the criticism).

All we care about are the 12s and the people in this

building; that’s who we play for.”

As Irvin notes, the Seahawks ultimately play for each other, not against their doubters. This team, going back to a November meeting following the loss in Kansas City, is playing together as a team as well as it has in five seasons under Carroll, last year’s championship team included.

It has become routine over the past two months to hear players talk about the love they have for their teammates, their brothers. Defensive backs now say L.O.B. stands for “Love our Brothers” not “Legion of Boom.”

But even amidst all the love, the Seahawks occasionally will make it “us against the world,” even if a lot of the world thinks they’re the best football team on the planet. That grit, that chip, it’s part of these Seahawks; it’s part of what has them back in Super Bowl in a year a lot of people thought they could do it.

Players drop lawsuit, Women’s World Cup in Canada to go forward on artificial turf

By Kevin Baxter Los Angeles Times

A coalition of women’s soccer players led by U.S. star Abby Wambach has withdrawn its gender discrimination suit against FIFA and will play this

summer’s World Cup in Canada on artificial turf.

The men’s tournament has always been played on grass and in their suit, filed before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario last fall, the women alleged that a World Cup played on

artificial turf would alter the game and heighten the chance of injury.

And that, they said, was discriminatory.

But FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Assn. refused to consider the use of grass fields. So on Wednesday,

with the start of the tournament less than five months away, the women said they were dropping their complaint to begin focusing on the games.

The World Cup kicks off June 6 and will conclude July 5.

Attorney Hampton Dellinger of the Washington, D.C., law firm Boies Schiller & Flexner said in an email the legal action produced other positive results.

The surface at BC Place will be replaced, for example, and goal-line

Expo open to city folk as well The event at Stanwood High School includes more than 185 workshops and classes covering a variety of topics, as well as a trade show.

ROSALIE WINARD / COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY

Colorado State University animal sciences professor Temple Grandin will speak about animal behavior and autism at the Country Living Expo and Cattlemen’s Winterschool on Jan. 31 at Stanwood High School.

Levels of communication Temple Grandin to speak about animal behavior, autism in children

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer

Temple Grandin is best known as an advocate for the rights and education of children with autism spectrum disorders.

Autistic herself, Grandin also is a world-renowned authority on animal behavior. Claire Danes played Grandin in the award-winning 2010 HBO biopic “Temple Grandin.”

An agriculture professor at Colorado State University, Grandin will speak at the Country Living Expo and Cattlemen’s Winterschool on Jan. 31 at Stanwood High School.

“I’ll be talking about basic animal behavior and practical handling,” Grandin said during a telephone interview earlier this month. “I want to introduce ways to reduce stress on livestock and help people focus on teaching their animals not to be afraid of new things.”

Grandin has dedicated her life to promoting the humane care of farm animals and pets.

She’s responsible for improving the design of most of the cattle feedlots and slaughterhouses in North America.

“I am a very visual thinker, and for me it’s easy to perceive how an animal would feel,” she said. “I coach ranchers with simple things such as ‘Move your pick-up truck away from that animal’s fence.’ Or I will say, ‘Calm down, don’t yell at your

Grandin has dedicated her life to improving the lives of animals. “I’m a very visual thinker,” she said, “and for me it’s easy to perceive how an animal would feel.”

animal.’ It’s not about being an animal whisperer. It’s about being observant and aware of how your livestock might perceive a situation.”

Grandin isn’t a vegetarian.

“I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we’ve got to do it right,” she said.

“We’ve got to give those animals a decent life, and we’ve got to give them a painless death. We

owe those animals respect.”

Grandin said she is pleased that she will be meeting the Stanwood High School FFA group hosting the expo.

“We need young people interested in farming and we need to help young people get interested in all the wonderful careers in agriculture,” Grandin said. “I am glad to know the Stanwood students are learning other skills,

too. We aren’t exposing enough kids to the trades. We need welders, auto mechanics, diesel mechanics.”

Grandin’s other passion is autistic children.

Perhaps you’ve read this wellknown Grandin quote: “Who do you think made the first stone spears? The Asperger

STANWOOD — It’s not just for farmers.

The annual Country Living Expo and Cattlemen’s Winterschool is replete with information for ranchers, yes, but also for just about anybody who raises backyard chickens, has a garden or even grows tomatoes on an apartment deck.

The expo is 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Jan. 31 at Stanwood High School, 7400 272nd St. NW, home of the host group Stanwood FFA — one of the best farm and trades student organizations in the state.

The event offers more than 185 workshops and classes in skills such as cheesemaking and beekeeping as well as agribusiness, landscape design and small-scale solar power. It also includes a trade show with more than 65 vendors.

Keynote speaker Temple Grandin, Colorado State University animal sciences professor and a world-renowned authority on animal behavior and livestock facilities, plans to talk about her work with cattle and her desire that animals are treated well.

Joan DeVries, with Washington State University’s extension programs in Snohomish, Island and Skagit counties, said she is encouraging people without agriculture backgrounds to attend the expo.

“Our program has grown to include not only rural farmers and cattle producers but also homeowners, backyard farmers and urban apartment dwellers,” DeVries said. “Many people in the area are making the decision to grow and harvest their own fresh, healthy food.”

To register and to take a look at the intriguing list of classes offered, go to skagit.wsu.edu/ CountryLivingExpo.

Registration is $70 for adults and $40 for youths and includes coffee and breakfast pastries, a choice of prime rib or vegetarian lunch and five classes. Some classes have a materials fee, but there is no charge to attend the trade show.

n 18th-century England, most women married when young, had children and learned to cook, take care of the house and children, make textiles or at least create bedding or clothing, and be her husband’s helper when needed.

Hester Bateman was an exception. She married a man who made gold chains.

He died after they had six children. He left the metalworking tools to his wife in his will so he must have known what a skillful silversmith she was.

Hester became a

registered silvermaker in 1761 using the mark “HB” in script. By 1774 she ran her own business with two of her sons. They used the latest methods and made their silverware from thin sheets of silver rather than the Sheffield plate type made by others. They stayed with traditional styles and made everything from tea caddies to inkwells.

Hester retired in 1790, and died in 1794. She was the first well-known female silversmith in England, and her work has always been popular with today’s collectors. I

enise Jordan has seen wallpaper come and she’s seen it go.

She and her husband, owners of Jordan Wallcoverings based in Gastonia, North Carolina, highly rated on Angie’s List, have made a living covering walls in the Charlotte area for more than 30 years.

For decades, the wallcoverings business was dominated by wallpaper, adding accents and personality to rooms, and making cleanup in bathrooms and kitchens an easier task. Then it fell off,

as people chose to remove wallpaper and paint rooms.

Interest in putting up wallpaper has ebbed and flowed over the years, but right now, it seems to be flowing again, Jordan says.

Accents: Instead of papering an entire room, the trend seems to be toward accent walls or even a traditional border style at the top of the wall.

Before you start If wallpaper is hung and installed correctly, it can look fresh for a decade or more. To do this right, you might want to hire someone who specializes in hanging wallpaper instead of opting for DIY wallpaper installation.

A key to hanging it well is sizing the wall. To do this, Jordan applies a substance that creates a slippery surface on the wall that helps

If that step is done correctly, the paper will stick just right and it will come down when you want it to, she says.

Spotlight on heating systems

JANUARY Is All About

STAYING WARM MONTH!

Whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, fireplaces and stoves are second to none where coziness and comfort are concerned.

The cost of installing a heating system in a home and paying for the ongoing heating costs is a major chunk of a family’s budget.

The purchase, as well as the annual operating costs and maintenance of equipment, can entail a lot of expense. Here are a few heating systems that combine savings with cozy pleasure.

Fireplaces and stoves Fireplaces and stoves have no equal in coziness and comfort, whether they use natural gas, ethanol, propane, wood, pellets, or electricity, and whether they are built-in, prefabricated, freestanding, traditional or modern.

Before choosing a heating system, compare the characteristics of different fuels and available models.

Electric baseboards and linear induction With programmable electronic thermo-

Hardware

Radiant heating This type of system does not heat the air but rather the walls, floors, windows and furniture. All of these elements store the heat and then release it into the air, providing exceptional and longlasting comfort. This is an invisible heating system that can be installed in floors, walls or ceilings.

stats, electric baseboard and linear induction heating systems allow you to economize on heating costs without compromising on comfort. During the winter, each room can be heated independently.

Landscaping

Heat pumps, central heating systems, and other devices all have their advantages and disadvantages.

Before making your choice, consider your specific needs and your budget.

And don’t forget to take into account the environment — a heating system that is both efficient and green is possible. Some advice? Before you start spending, talk to the in-store experts.

Here’s how to start your fresh start in 2015

By Nicole Anzia Special to The Washington Post

The beginning of a new year always feels revitalizing, at least for a few days.

But if there are bags, boxes, and papers from the past year still hanging around your house, the new year can feel a little less like a fresh start.

If you’ve vowed to declutter and organize in 2015, now is the time to begin. Don’t get bogged down in trying to decide which room or space should be your first priority; just pick a spot — even a small spot — and get to work. It’s better to start the new year with easy solutions than with empty resolutions. So here are a few project ideas that involve relatively little time

and effort but are sure to leave you feeling both satisfied and motivated to do more.

Return unwanted holiday gifts. Returning gifts is not fun — in fact, it’s kind of depressing. But if you’ve been ruminating about whether you like or need something you received, chances are you don’t.

Stop trying to convince yourself. Return it to the store now.

Clean out your pantry.

The holidays can leave your pantry in total disarray, especially if you were hosting a large group. The best way to restore order is to remove everything, wipe off the shelves, toss expired items and then begin restocking. Categorize and sort items. Nuts, rice, noodles, dried fruit

and other things that come in upright sealable plastic bags can be held together in long rectangular containers. Snacks for kids and lunchbox items should also be grouped together and put in bins to make them easy to find.

Scale down athletic clothes. Most people who exercise grab the same two or three items for each workout, and all the other colorful but ill-fitting stuff they either bought on a whim or received as swag at a fundraising event goes unused. Take an inventory of your leggings, tank tops, sweatshirts, T-shirts and shoes. If they’re threadbare, toss them; if you haven’t worn them in the past few months, toss or donate.

Tidy up underneath the

kitchen sink or bathroom vanity. This is not a huge job, but it can be daunting.

Not only are you not going to find anything fun in there, you’re also probably going to have to deal with a bunch of half-empty bottles filled with hazardous cleaning materials that you aren’t sure how to dispose of. But getting rid of many of those items properly isn’t that hard. Check your local government listings for recylcing information.

Clean and straighten the coat closet. The floor of your coat closet is probably dirty, and it’s hard to clean without taking everything out, so you might as well do just that. Clear the space, clean the floor and put everything you’ll need for the next four months back inside. Throw away

GREAT PLANT PICK

From Page D1

What: Acorus gramineus, or “Ogon,” is a striking chartreuse striped grass-like foliage of sweetflag makes it easy to use in the garden. It is versatile and can be used as an accent in the mixed border, as a container plant, or at the water’s edge.

The soft evergreen foliage gracefully arches to make low layered attractive mounds. It prefers regular watering during dry weather and grows lush when grown in a moist location. Prune the evergreen foliage to the ground in

late winter to tidy the plant if necessary.

Where: This adaptable and easy to grow groundcover succeeds well in open shade to full sun, although the golden leaf color is more intense with more light. Also known as golden variegated sweetflag, it will grow in a wide variety of soil conditions from wet clay to rich well-drained garden soil.

Size: Reaches a height of 1 foot with a spread of 1 foot.

have no use for it anymore.

Can you give me some idea of its worth?

A: Cast-iron anvils have been made in different sizes and shapes for different uses. Anvils weighing several hundred pounds were primarily used in industry, while smaller ones were used by farmers to sharpen tools. Someone who collects old tools or vintage farm equipment might be interested an old anvil, but a large, heavy anvil could be harder to sell than one that’s easier to pick up and display. The date on your anvil adds interest. Recent prices include $192 for a 115pound anvil and $380 for a 160-pound anvil.

Q: I have several figurines (resin, I think) that range from 3 to 5 inches tall. Each is marked with “KFS” on the back. They also are marked on the front of its base with a character name, including Hans, Fritz, Prince Valiant, Popeye, etc. One of them is a man in a sailor suit and is marked “Tim Tyler.”

Can you tell me something about him, how many different figurines were made, and if they are collectible?

A: The initials “KFS” stand for King Features Syndicate, who owned

Grandin didn’t talk until she was nearly 4 years old. But after graduation from Hampshire Country School, a New Hampshire boarding school for gifted children, Grandin went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Franklin Pierce College in 1970, a master’s degree in animal science from Arizona State University in 1975 and a doctoral degree in animal science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989.

She’s been teaching at Colorado State for more than 25 years and is the author of numerous books including “Animals Make Us Human.”

DAILY CROSSWORD

Who’s the controller — fiance or best friend?

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I am happily engaged to a wonderful man. He is renovating a condo that we will move into this summer, so I have picked up his share of the household chores.

I also have some habits from living alone for so long that annoy him and that I am working to fix (forgetting to refill the toilet paper roll, leaving rinsed dishes in the sink instead of the dishwasher; all little things). We are able to communicate these in such a way that gently reminds me of whatever habit I just did, and laugh it off together.

My best friend just informed me that she thinks my fiance is bossy and controlling. I was shocked, but now I can’t get the idea out of my head. Every time he points out that I dropped my clothes on the floor instead of putting them in the laundry, I wonder if I’m missing some sign that I am being controlled.

I do know my friend is unhappy that we see each other far less than we used to (I practically lived with her and her husband, and just after I started dating my nowfiance I got a job across town so it’s hard to get together as much), so I

comfortably yourself around your fiance? Are you making an effort to be a better roommate because you want to, or do you feel you have to for fear of losing him? A marriage to someone controlling means never feeling completely at ease.

Don’t do that to yourself.

And, make more time for your friend. Good policy regardless.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT don’t know if this is a manifestation of her jealousy, or if she’s picking up on something I can’t see.

On the one hand, we’re talking about leaving clothes on the floor, which is rude in a shared home; it’s not like you have to use a level on the hand towels a la “Sleeping With the Enemy.” And if we can’t remind our partners in life not to strand us without TP, then we might as well all live alone.

On the other hand, I imagine being corrected by a partner and cringe. If there weren’t some truth to your friend’s observation, wouldn’t you have laughed it off?

I don’t have enough information to commit to an answer, except this one: Are you completely and

DENNIS THE MENACE

Re: Stranded without TP! When living alone, I often was too lazy to go get the new toilet paper roll when I used up the old one and as a result stranded myself a few times. I got into the habit of putting the empty TP roll on the top of the closed toilet lid so that I could NOT sit down without noticing I was out (don’t ask me why this was less trouble than just getting the new roll). When my roommate moved in, she just about died laughing the first time she saw the empty roll on top of the lid, but at least I didn’t strand her! Who knows, maybe this is a solution for someone else.

Readers share why they choose cremation Dear Abby: I just finished the letter from “Plotting and Planning in Arizona” (Oct. 5), regarding why cremation is so popular. There are also other reasons. My father, a WWII veteran, had planned to be buried in a national veterans’ cemetery. After his death we were informed that the only option currently available was interment in the veterans’ wall of honor columbarium, because the cemetery had run out of space for traditional burials. — Proud Daughter Of WWII Vet Dear Proud Daughter: “Plotting and Planning” guessed one reason was cost, while another might be that we live in a more mobile society. Readers agreed, but offered additional input: Dear Abby: Several people I know prefer cremation because they are claustrophobic. Even the thought of being shut up in a casket gives them the heebie-jeebies. — David In East Moline, Ill. Dear Abby: Rather than be buried in a cemetery ($$$) or be cremated (my kids objected), I’m donating my body to medical science. I have degenerative arthritis, asthma and other minor conditions.

Perhaps by doing this, I can help one of my own or someone else, contribute to medical science and prolong a few lives. — Carol In Long Beach Dear Abby: A few reasons why I have requested cremation: First, due to modern technology, it is now possible to take a portion of one’s cremains and turn them into diamondlike gems, one of which I’d like to leave to my dear mother-in-law to be.

Second, because of the proliferation of fine RIP HAYWIRE

DEAR ABBY mini-urns — which may be used as jewelry — I intend to have a portion of my ashes distributed to a few of the women who have touched my life in various ways over the years. I feel it is not only my right but also my duty to avoid saddling others with the exorbitant costs of today’s funeral extravaganzas. — Kiffin, The Pragmatist Dear Abby: Cremation has a lot going for it. “Green burials” are becoming more popular. You can be wrapped in a shroud and buried in the ground. No chemicals, everything is biodegradable — ashes to ashes, dust to dust. — Keep It Natural Dear Abby: Being an avid scuba diver, I have instructed my family that I wish to be cremated and my ashes turned into part of the memorial reef by the Neptune Society. This will help to create an underwater reef system not only for fish, but for divers to enjoy. That way, I’ll be able to return to nature, give divers a place to enjoy and forever be back in the water that I have always loved. — Scuba Shell Dear Abby: I’m opting for cremation when my time comes. I don’t want to be dug up in the future for someone’s science project, grave robbers or archaeologists. I have “urned” my rest. — Ralphee In Alabama Universal Uclick

BRIDGE Cy the Cynic is a cynic, but a worrier he is not. Cy says that worry is the interest paid by people who borrow trouble.

Cy’s attitude shows in his dummy play, where he seldom makes allowances for bad breaks. When Cy was declarer at today’s six hearts, he took the king of diamonds and drew all the trumps. Next, the Cynic blithely cashed the A-K of spades. When East threw a club, Cy had something to worry about: How he

would explain going down at a cold slam. He could ruff one spade in dummy but still lost a spade and a club.

How would you play to cope with a bad break?

Cy should heed the chance for a 5-1 spade break: about a 15 percent chance. After he draws trumps, he should let dummy’s ten of spades ride.

West’s jack wins, but Cy has four trump tricks, four spades, two diamonds, a club and a diamond ruff in his hand.

Cy was lucky West forgot to lead a club — the lead the auction demanded — which would have beaten the slam.

ANSWER: Take a “false preference” to two hearts.

Partner should expect only a doubleton heart; if you had six to nine points with true support, you would have raised directly. If he has five hearts and four diamonds, he will often do as well or better at hearts. Game is still possible, so give him another chance.

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Jan. 22, the 22nd day of 2015.

There are 343 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight: On Jan. 22, 1901, Britain’s Queen Victoria died at age 81 after a reign of 63 years; she was succeeded by her eldest son, Edward VII. On this date: In 1498, during his third voyage to the Western Hemisphere, Christopher Columbus arrived at the present-day Caribbean island of St. Vincent.

In 1908, Katie Mulcahey became the first — and only — woman to run afoul of New York City’s just-passed ban on women smoking in public establishments. (Declaring, “No man shall dictate to me,” Mulcahey served a night in jail after refusing to pay a $5 fine; the law, which did not specify any fines, ended up being vetoed by Mayor George B. McClellan Jr.) In 1917, President Woodrow Wilson pleaded for an end to war in Europe, calling for “peace without victory.” (By April, however, America also was at war.)

Larry Wilmore aiming to ‘keep it real’ Stephen Colbert had “truthiness.” Larry Wilmore’s got “keeping it 100.”

The former “Daily Show” correspondent taking over the 11:30 p.m. spot vacated last month by Colbert’s “Report” debuted Monday night, rolling in with a show that’s fast, funny and unapologetically black.

“For all you people who don’t know what the expression ‘keeping it 100’ means, it means ‘keep it 100 percent real,’” Wilmore said.

When Wilmore turned to Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., to keep it 100, he asked

Booker, “Do you want to be president?”

“Uh, no,” Booker answered.

Instead of Larry Wilmore a “Keep It 100” sticker, Wilmore chucked a teabag at Booker for his weak tea. (Weak tea is basically boring gossip.)

Wilmore opened with a tight monologue in his trademark deadpan that deftly weaved in Ferguson, climate change and even fair trade “Harry

bits of logic to keep the film moving ahead.

“The Boxtrolls, ★★½: Industrious underground dwellers are threatened by a man looking to wipe them out. An outlandishly funny tale brought to life through beautiful stopanimation photography.

The film combines Monty Python-style humor with the sense and sensibilities of Oliver Twist and is presented in a wonderfully creepy animated style.

“May in the Summer” ★★★★: Politics and religion are such heavy topics that, left unchecked, they

can crush the life out of a feature film. Cherien Dabis not only manages to deftly handle these hot-button topics in her film, “May in the Summer,” she does it while also handling the starring role. This is a film that pulls us in with a sweet and powerful story where major tent poles of religion and politics are presented in a strong but subtle way.
