Courthouse plans may be shelved A controversial project for a new justice building could be put on hold; the County Council is expected to vote next week on whether to proceed with construction.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — There’s an emerging consensus that Snohomish County needs to stop and rethink its new courthouse, even if that means mothballing the project altogether.

The County Council plans to take a formal vote next week.

Their decision could delay the scheduled mid-2015 groundbreaking date — how long is unknown. They could ponder other sites, despite having spent millions of dollars to date preparing a spot across the street from

the aging building they intend to replace.

“The last few weeks we’ve all had a lot of new information regarding the courthouse project,” Councilwoman Stephanie Wright said. “In evaluation of the new challenges to the budget, the new challenges to the timeline, I feel at this point we need to stop and reevaluate how we’re going to move forward.”

Wright’s council colleagues all supported the idea, at least

in theory, when it came up at a meeting Monday. They directed staff to draft a written proposal for their regular meeting at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 2.

Council members also have asked Executive John Lovick to provide a recommendation on how he’d like to proceed.

The Everett City Council put the $162 million project in doubt last month by taking emergency action to ensure that the new building would provide enough

parking downtown. Before then, zoning in the city’s downtown business district didn’t specify any parking requirements for the project.

The emergency action would require at least 300 parking spaces.

Cost estimates for a new parking structure range from $20 million to $45 million. With See PLANS, back page, this section

SULTAN — Biology students at Sultan High School are raising salmon in a hatchery on campus and expect to release them into the wild later this year.

The school’s hatchery apparently is

unique in the state. Students also visit nearby spawning streams to learn about the life cycle of salmon.

Principal Tami Nesting said the hatchery program encourages students to solve real-world problems to keep the fish healthy.

EDMONDS — It’s not canceled — just “postponed indefinitely.”

Comedian, TV and movie star Bill Cosby, accused by numerous women of sexual assault, won’t be performing at Edmonds Center for the Arts.

There is no new date for Cosby’s comedy show, which was set for April 17.

Edmonds Center for the Arts officials have been talking with Cosby’s touring agency and management team since October Bill Cosby regarding his scheduled performance, said Joe McIalwain, executive director.

Both parties agreed to postpone the show, he said.

The decision was announced Monday morning.

Edmonds Center for the Arts is offering options for people who bought Cosby tickets.

Tickets can be refunded or exchanged for another concert this season. Or the ticket value can be converted into a tax-deductible donation to the nonprofit performing arts center.

Cosby, 77, hasn’t been charged with any crime. Through his lawyer, he has denied the claims of

nearby hatcheries. But Nathan Olson, a spokesman for the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, said he knows of no others that have a hatchery on campus.

“It’s nice for our students to see that we have something most schools don’t,” said Ryan Monger, the science teacher who oversees the hatchery. “Salmon are our most important resource in Washington state. It connects them to that.”

Without the hatchery, students would be stuck in the classroom because the district lacks money for field trips or expensive lab experiments, he said.

Monger estimates that his yearly budget for labs is about $3 per student. With the hatchery, students get a chance to go beyond memorizing facts and put their knowledge of biology to work.

“Any chance I get to have students doing real-life science, I like,” he said. “It’s a very cool project.”

salmon swim to the ocean, where they grow until they return to the river to spawn.

“It’s going to be a good feeling to release hundreds of fish into the river,” said Jessy Moore, the Sultan High senior tasked with running the hatchery this year. “It’s definitely a changing experience to be a part of this.”

Throughout the school year, Moore and his classmates care for the fish.

They collect data by catching the coho and averaging individual results.

It’s Moore’s job to feed the fish.

“This is the best part, watching them come up

and eat,” he said, sprinkling fish food over the murky water.

Don Foltz, a retired Sultan teacher, fills in for Moore, 17, during vacation breaks and has long volunteered to help students continue the project throughout the year.

Raising coho comes with challenges that aren’t common in the classroom. In October, a trough at the hatchery broke. All of the salmon were killed.

“Not everything runs smoothly like in a textbook,” Monger said.

got several hundred more coho, and his classes went about raising them.

But just before winter break, the fish were infected with a fungus that started killing some of the weaker ones. Students had to figure out how to control the fungus so their fish would survive.

Now they’re waiting for the coho to grow large enough to have their fins clipped. Workers in hatcheries clip salmon fins to indicate to fishermen that they are not wild. Monger wants his students to start doing that this year.

Moore is also planning to renovate the hatchery building before he goes off to college next year.

He wants to leave it better than he found it for the next group of high school scientists.

Moore isn’t alone in taking ownership of the hatchery project. Senior Kerrin Reynolds so enjoyed working with salmon at school, she started volunteering at the Wallace River Hatchery.

Reynolds, 18, credits those experiences with helping her choose a career path. She wants to study at Washington State University and go into fish management.

“It feels good knowing you’re helping the local salmon run,” Reynolds said. “Putting those extra salmon into the river helps more than people think.

And it’s fun, too.”

Blind rapper skips out on sentencing The Everett man, who was convicted of gun and drug charges, is nowhere to be found.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — When the blind rapper showed up late he claimed he got lost in the courthouse.

The judge cut him a break and ordered Wayne Frisby, aka Mac Wayne, to come back in a

month to be sentenced for his latest round of crimes. Frisby was warned to be on time, no excuses.

Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Joseph Wilson, shaking his head, signed a warrant for Frisby’s arrest last week.

The convict’s lawyer was there.

So was his mom. The Everett man was a no-show.

Defense attorney Gurjit Pandher looked in another courtroom before confirming that he didn’t know where his client was. Frisby wasn’t answering his phone, even when his mom called.

“He is legally blind and relies on other people to assist him,” Pandher tried.

Wilson signed a no-bail warrant, meaning once Frisby is picked up he won’t have the chance to bail out.

Frisby pleaded guilty in November to gun and drug charges. He is facing a prison sentence whenever he ends up in front of a judge.

This isn’t the first time Frisby has been on the lam. He skipped town in 2013 when he was facing a robbery charge. He even released a single taunting cops to catch him.

Frisby beat the robbery charge after the woman who first reported it recanted her story. He later did a short stint in jail for a drug conviction. He had been found with heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine while being booked into the Snohomish County Jail in connection with a bizarre robbery in Marysville.

He ran afoul of the law again last year when Everett police caught him with a .40-caliber Glock pistol in a backpack. The convicted felon is banned from having any guns.

A month after that arrest he

Like a spring day

was found in the parking lot of the Tulalip Resort Casino with a bag of heroin in his pocket and two pair of brass knuckles.

Frisby has described himself as “the undisputed Ray Charles of rap, 100 percent blind and 100 percent raw.” The rapper advertises that “a gunshot to the head took his sight and in the same instant gave him the ability to see whole songs in his mind.”

He’s released videos that include cameo appearances by a Snohomish County Superior Court judge and a public defender.

Cities pony up for fire services rendered The $2.5 million total bill took Edmonds, Brier and Mountlake Terrace a bit by surprise.

By Rikki King and Sharon Salyer Herald Writers

EVERETT — One city has paid, one has started a payment plan and another still is negotiating.

After receiving retroactive bills last year from Fire District 1, three south Snohomish

County cities have taken different approaches to settling up.

The size of the bills — totaling $2.5 million — came as a bit of a surprise to the cities this past summer. Fire District 1 said it needed help for retroactive employee pay raises covering two years, a change in the contract with the firefighters’ union.

The district provides fire protection service to the cities under long-term contracts. Annual increases in the contract costs were expected, but not to that scope, officials said.

Brier and Mountlake Terrace already have negotiated reductions to their bills. Talks between Edmonds and Fire District 1 continue.

Edmonds got the biggest bill, for $1.67 million.

On Friday, Edmonds Mayor

Dave Earling said the city has plans to meet with fire district officials next week.

“We continue to work with them and we’re optimistic in coming to an agreement,” Earling said.

Mountlake Terrace initially was charged $661,318.

After months of talks, $40,300 was taken off the bill, City Manager Arlene Fisher said.

Ex-CIA officer convicted of leak

By Matthew Barakat Associated Press

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A former CIA officer was convicted Monday of leaking classified details of an operation to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions to a New York Times reporter.

Jurors convicted Jeffrey Sterling, 47, of O’Fallon, Missouri, of all nine counts he faced in federal court. On the third day of deliberations, jurors told the judge that they could not reach a unanimous verdict. But they delivered guilty verdicts later in the afternoon after the judge urged them to keep talking.

At issue in the two-week trial: Who told journalist James Risen about the secret mission, one that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice testified was one of the government’s most closely held secrets as well as one of its best chances to thwart Iran’s nuclear-weapons ambitions?

The case was delayed for years as prosecutors fought to force Risen to divulge his sources, though they ultimately decided not to call him to

testify once it became clear he would not reveal those sources.

Prosecutors had acknowledged a lack of direct evidence against Sterling but said the circumstantial evidence against him was overwhelming.

Defense lawyers had said

the evidence showed that Capitol Hill staffers who had been briefed on the classified operation were more likely the source of the leak.

The plan involved using a CIA asset nicknamed Merlin, who had been a Russian

nuclear engineer, to foist deliberately flawed nuclearweapons blueprints on the Iranians, hoping they would spend years trying to develop parts that had no hope of ever working.

Risen’s 2006 book, “State of War,” describes the mission as hopelessly botched, and possibly backfiring by giving the Iranians blueprints that could be useful if they sorted good information from the errors.

In his closing arguments, prosecutor Eric Olshan said the chapter of Risen’s book seemed to be clearly written from Sterling’s perspective as Merlin’s case handler. The book describes the handler’s misgivings about the operation while others at the CIA push the plan through despite its risks.

Furthermore, Sterling believed he had been mistreated and was angry that the agency refused to settle his racial discrimination complaint, Olshan said.

Risen had written about that complaint, and he was known to have a relationship with Sterling.

Monster snowstorm blasts Northeast

By Meghan Barr Associated Press

NEW YORK— The Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor of more than 35 million people shut down Monday as a monster storm that could unload a paralyzing 1 to 3 feet of snow swirled into the Northeast.

Snow was blowing sideways with ever-increasing intensity in New York City by midafternoon as flurries began in Boston. Forecasters said the storm would build into a blizzard, and the brunt of it was to hit Monday evening and into Tuesday.

More than 5,800 flights in and out of the Northeast were canceled, and many of them may not take off again until Wednesday. Schools and businesses let out early. State government offices closed.

Cities mobilized snowplows and salt spreaders to deal with a dangerously windy blast that could instantly make up for what has been a largely snow-free winter in the urban Northeast.

All too aware that big snowstorms can make or break politicians, governors and mayors moved quickly to declare emergencies and order the shutdown of highways, streets and mass transit systems — perhaps for days — to prevent travelers from being stranded and to enable plows and emergency vehicles to get through.

“It is not a regular storm,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio warned in ordering city streets closed to all but emergency vehicles beginning at 11 p.m.

“What you are going to see in a few hours is something that hits very hard and very fast.”

Boston is expected to get 2 to 3 feet, New York 1½ to 2 feet, and Philadelphia more than a foot. The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning for a 250-mile swath of

WASHINGTON — A twofoot-long drone apparently flown by a hobbyist crashed on the White House grounds Monday in an extraordinary, if unintended, breach that raised fresh questions about the president’s security — and a growing threat from the sky.

Obama at India’s Republic Day parade NEW DELHI — President Barack Obama on Monday took in a grand display of Indian military hardware, marching bands and elaborately dressed camels at India’s annual Republic Day festivities. The parade in New Delhi was the centerpiece of Obama’s three-day visit to India, which is aimed at strengthening a relationship between the world’s largest democracies that has at times been fraught with tension and suspicion.

Republic Day marks the anniversary of India’s democratic constitution taking force in 1950. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s invitation for Obama to attend the parade surprised White House officials. Modi is well aware that Obama’s presence at a showing of India’s military strength could upset Pakistan, New Delhi’s bitter rival and Washington’s long-time ally in the subcontinent.

Canada: Bird flu found Health authorities said Monday they have diagnosed a case of bird flu in a British Columbia woman who recently returned from China and suspect a man who travelled with her also had it. This is the first time this particular type of bird flu — H7N9— has been detected in a Canadian or American. Health Minister Rona Ambrose said the risk to Canadians is low. This virus does not appear to transmit easily from person to person.

Spain: 10 dead in jet crash A Greek F-16 fighter jet crashed into other aircraft on the ground during NATO training Monday, killing at least 10 people, Spain’s Defense Ministry said. Another 19 people were injured in the incident at the Los Llanos base.

Most victims were believed to be military personnel from NATO member countries participating in the program.

Yemen: U.S. drone strikes A U.S. drone strike targeted al-Qaida in Yemen on Monday, signaling Washington’s determination to keep fighting the militants despite political paralysis brought on by a Shiite power grab.

Yemeni officials in the central province of Marib said the missile hit a vehicle carrying three men near the boundary with Shabwa province, an al-Qaida stronghold. The strike killed two Yemeni fighters and a Saudi fighter, an al-Qaida member told The Associated Press. A boy also was reported killed.

Pedestrians make their way through driving snow in midtown Manhattan on Monday. More than 35 million people in the Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor rushed to get home as the storm blows in.

A plane undergoes de-icing at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Monday. Airlines canceled more than 5,800 flights into and out of East Coast airports.

the region, meaning heavy, blowing snow and potential whiteout conditions.

On the snowy Metro-North commuter train platform in White Plains, New York, postal worker Peter Hovey said he will be playing it safe when he has to deliver packages Tuesday.

“If you’re telling me the trains might not run tomorrow, I’m telling you this: I’m not driving,” he said. “It’s going to be ridiculous out there, frightening.”

Supermarkets and hardware stores did a brisk trade.

About half of all flights out

of New York’s LaGuardia Airport were called off Monday, and about 60 percent of flights heading into the airport were scratched. Boston’s Logan Airport said there would be no flights after 7 p.m. Monday.

Coastal residents braced for a powerful storm surge and the possibility of damaging flooding and beach erosion.

Officials in New Jersey shore towns warned people to move their cars off the streets and away from the water.

Utility companies across the region put crews on standby to deal with anticipated power outages from high winds.

The Washington area was expecting only a couple of inches of snow.

But the House postponed votes scheduled for Monday night because lawmakers were having difficulty flying back to the nation’s capital after the weekend.

recreational use of the device,” said Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary.

President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, were overseas when the quadcopter struck the southeast side of the grounds at about 3 a.m.

Daughters Sasha and Malia stayed behind in Washington; it was not known whether they were at the mansion.

Officials believed the intrusion to be the first of its kind on the White House grounds, although not the first in the vicinity.

Low-flying drones like the quadcopter — a craft lifted by

four propellers — have become increasingly sophisticated and affordable instruments that authorities worry could also become tools for terrorists or others meaning to do harm.

Police, fire and other emergency vehicles swarmed the White House just after the crash. The White House was dark and the entire perimeter was on lock down until around 5 a.m. After daylight, more than a dozen Secret Service officers fanned out in a search across the White House lawn.

At the urging of the drone industry, the Obama administration is on the verge of

proposing rules for drone operations that would replace an existing ban on most commercial flights.

Although remote-controlled airplanes and related toys have been available for decades, the recent proliferation of inexpensive drones has prompted growing fears about collisions with traditional aircraft.

Technological advances have also made it easier to equip drones with advanced capabilities such as cameras, raising privacy issues as well as concerns that such devices could be used by terrorists to carry weapons.

ACROSS THE U.S. N.C.: Ex-Army prosecutor is found guilty of rape A former U.S. Army prosecutor who handled sexual-assault cases has been found guilty of rape charges following a six-day court-martial at Fort Bragg. The Army said Monday that Maj. Erik Burris was found guilty of rape and forcible sodomy, and of assault and disobeying an order. The Army said Burris was sentenced to 20 years in prison, dismissed from the service and ordered to forfeit all pay.

N.Y.: Russian spy ring Three Russian citizens were charged Monday in connection with a Cold War-style Russian spy ring that spoke in code, passed information concealed in bags and magazines, and tried to recruit people with ties to an unnamed university, authorities said. The defendants were directed by Russian authorities “to gather intelligence on, among other subjects, potential United States sanctions against Russian banks and the United States’ efforts to develop alternative energy resources,” according to a complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan. Prosecutors said one suspect was arrested in the Bronx. The two others were protected from prosecution because of their diplomatic status and are believed to have returned to Russia.

Hawaii: 2 planes crash at sea Two small planes ran out of fuel and crash-landed into the Pacific Ocean off Hawaii, with one nose-diving before leveling out and drifting down to the water beneath a massive parachute.

One of the planes, a single-engine aircraft carrying only a pilot, crash-landed about 250 miles off Maui. The other plane was carrying four people and went down several miles off Oahu. The five people aboard the planes survived after dramatic rescues, authorities said.

Medicare payments face overhaul Quality, not quantity, will determine payment to hospitals and doctors, the federal government says.

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Medicare will change the way it pays hospitals and doctors to reward quality over volume, the Obama administration said Monday, in a shift that officials hope will be a catalyst for the nation’s $3-trillion health care system.

“It is in our common interest to build a health care system that delivers better care, spends health care dollars more wisely and results in healthier people,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell.

A broad cross-section of health-care industry representatives attended Burwell’s announcement.

The shift won immediate

support from insurers and the American Hospital Association.

The professional group representing primary care doctors also said it’s “on board.” But American Medical Association President Robert Wah stopped short of an endorsement, telling reporters his group wants specifics.

Supporters say the ultimate goal is to promote and reward quality care, not just the sheer volume of services like imaging scans and some elective surgeries.

Medicare and employers were already moving in that direction, but Burwell’s announcement sets specific goals and timetables. “It’s time we put our money where our mouth is,” said Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, the top Democrat on the committee that

oversees Medicare.

Still, the outlook for the administration’s initiative is unclear.

Other lofty aspirations have not been fulfilled. Although there’s been real progress, President Barack Obama’s goal of providing every American with a secure electronic medical record has not been met.

Medicare continues to grapple with financing problems, despite a welcome slowdown in spending over the last few years. Among the issues is a budget formula that will cut doctor payments by about 20 percent in April unless Congress acts.

Building on experiments under the president’s health care law, Burwell set a goal of tying 30 percent of payments under traditional Medicare to new models of care by the end of 2016. That would rise to 50 percent of payments two years thereafter.

Those new models include

so-called accountable care organizations, in which doctors coordinate care to help keep patients from landing in the hospital for avoidable problems.

Another approach is known as a medical home, in which nurses monitor patients with chronic conditions like high blood pressure, to make sure they are within acceptable ranges.

HHS also set a goal of tying 85 percent of all payments under traditional Medicare to measures of quality or value by the end of 2016. That would rise to 90 percent two years thereafter. Some of those measures are already in effect. For example, hospitals with high rates of patients re-admitted within a month of being sent home face financial penalties.

Medicare is the government’s flagship health insurance program, serving about 55 million seniors or disabled people.

Boeing, SpaceX will beat Russia on price

By Marcia Dunn Associated Press

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA expects to save millions of dollars sending astronauts to the International Space Station, once its commercial crew program starts flying in a couple of years.

SpaceX and Boeing said Monday that they are on track to carry out their first manned test flights to the space station in 2017. NASA chose the two private companies last September to transport American astronauts to and from the orbiting lab.

U.S. manned launches ended with the retirement of the space shuttles in 2011. Until SpaceX and Boeing begin flying crews from Cape Canaveral, NASA astronauts must continue to hitch rocket rides with Russia.

NASA’s commercial crew program manager, Kathy Lueders, said the average price for a seat aboard the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 capsules will be $58 million. That compares with $71 million a seat charged

by Russia under its latest NASA contract.

“I don’t ever want to have to write another check” to the Russian Space Agency after 2017, said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, a former shuttle commander.

“If we can make that date,” he said, referring to 2017, “I’m a happy camper.”

Unlike the Russian charge, the $58 million per-person cost estimate includes a fair amount of cargo to be flown aboard the SpaceX and Boeing spacecraft, along with four crew members.

NEW YORK — As Americans continue turning away from milk, an industry group is pushing back at its critics with a social media campaign trumpeting the benefits of milk. The association says it needs to act because attitudes about milk are deteriorating more rapidly, with vegan groups, non-dairy competitors and other perceived enemies getting louder online.

Julia Kadison, CEO of Milk Processor Education Program, which represents milk companies, says the breaking point came last year when the British Medical Journal

S&P lowers Russia’s credit rating to junk LONDON — Standard & Poor’s rating agency Monday downgraded Russia’s credit grade by one notch to junk status, citing a weakened economic outlook. The agency dropped the rating to BB+ from BBB- as it sees the country’s financial buffers at risk amid a slide in the country’s currency and weakening revenue from oil exports.

The Russian currency tumbled on the downgrade, dropping some 7 percent to about 68.5 rubles to the dollar.

Union retirees’ benefits The Supreme Court cast doubt Monday on the future of old union contracts that had promised lifetime health benefits for retired workers and their families. In a case seen as a victory for corporate America, the justices ruled that those promises are not “vested” rights unless they are spelled out in “clear and express language.” And if they are not, they may be canceled when a new contract takes effect, the court said.

All apples to China For the first time, all varieties of apples from the United States will go on sale in China, instead of just Red Delicious and Golden Delicious, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday. The deal culminates 20 years of efforts to send more varieties of apples to China.

The SpaceX Dragon-2 spacecraft is shown here being released from the International Space Station on March 26.

That price tag is based on a fiveyear period, Lueders said.

The Russian Soyuz holds a maximum of three people, with at least one a Russian to pilot the craft.

SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell said the future enhanced Dragon capsule could carry five astronauts — one more than NASA’s stipulated four — and still meet all the cargo requirements.

The Hawthorne, California, company, led by billionaire Elon Musk, was the space station’s first commercial shipper. It’s been successfully delivering supplies since 2012 with the Dragon.

Virginia’s Orbital Sciences Corp., NASA’s other contracted supplier, has grounded its rocket fleet following a launch explosion last fall.

Lueders said the plan is to have two “robust providers” for crew transport, in case one of them ends up grounded by technical problems. NASA awarded SpaceX $2.6 billion for crew transport, while Boeing got $4.2 billion. Each is to provide two to six missions.

Boeing’s vice president and general manager for Houstonbased space exploration, John Elbon, said an unmanned test

flight of the CST-100 capsule in 2017 will be followed a few months later by the first crewed test flight. That first manned mission will include one Boeing test pilot and one NASA astronaut, he said.

Shotwell said the SpaceX unmanned test flight could occur as early as 2016, followed by a crewed flight in 2017. She said the company is still working on the number and makeup of the first crew.

It was the first in-depth public description of the commercial crew effort by NASA and winners SpaceX and Boeing.

Declining milk industry is fighting back

published a study suggesting drinking lots of milk could lead to earlier deaths and higher incidents of fractures. The study urged a cautious interpretation of its findings, but also prompted a wave of posts online about the dangers of drinking milk.

“I said, ‘That’s enough.’ We can’t have these headlines that ‘Milk Can Kill You’ and not stand up for the truth,” Kadison said in a phone interview.

dairy farmers. The campaign is intended to drown out milk’s detractors with positive posts about the nutritional benefits of milk on Facebook, Twitter and elsewhere. Milk brands, their employees and others in the industry will post the messages and direct people to a website where they can get more information.

The campaign comes as milk’s dominance in American homes continues to wane as beverage options proliferate.

Port labor agreement West Coast dockworkers and their employers have resolved a key dispute in new contract talks. A spokesman for the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents operators of port terminals, said Monday companies and union negotiators reached a tentative agreement on whether the union would maintain and repair truck beds that haul containers that have been unloaded from ships. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union wanted those jobs.

IBM denies layoffs Calling it “ridiculous” and “baseless,” IBM on Monday dismissed a report that said it plans to lay off 1 in 4 of its workers, or 100,000 people.

The company “flatly denies” the Forbes report, IBM spokesman Ian Colley said in a phone interview. IBM previously has announced layoffs affecting “several thousand people,” only “a small fraction” of the number predicted last week by a blogger on Forbes. com, IBM said.

A few tweaks to election laws more than $20 million in 2011. With that much money flowing to campaigns, it’s imperative that voters know where that support is coming from, whether its from the left or the right, from corporations or unions.

House Bill 1323 would do away with the annoyance of voting for ballot questions that are little more than straw polls. The legislation would scrap the “advisory” questions found on statewide ballot that seek nonbinding votes for tax measures the Legislature has already voted on. The advisory votes were a provision of Tim Eyman’s I-960, passed in 2007. But during the last two general elections the state has spent more than $250,000 to include the advisory votes in the voter’s pamphlets. That’s $250,000 spent on advisory votes that carry little weight among legislators.

Another bill, Senate Bill 5344, would the pay the postage on all ballots, saving each voter a 49-cent stamp. Counties would pay the postage for each ballot and then be

reimbursed. A fiscal note on the bill estimates that it would cost the state $2.7 million during the 2015-17 biennium and $2.3 million during the 2017-19 biennium. Backers see requiring a stamp as a poll tax, as minor as it is. But voter turnout could use some help.

Turnout for general elections was as high as 81 percent statewide in 2012 for the presidential election, but dropped drastically to 45 percent in 2013 and 54 percent in 2014.

And nothing stops a voter from putting the stamp on the envelope and saving the state that cost.

Finally, Senate Joint Resolution 8201, seeks an amendment to the state constitution’s provision for initiatives that would require initiatives not have a significant effect on the state budget.

The legislation is, supporters admit, a reaction to the passage of I-1351, which now requires the state to hire thousands of teachers and other education workers at a significant cost, but it provided no method of funding for itself.

Its passage would require a two-thirds majority in the Legislature and approval by the voters, but the bill already has about 40 senators, Republican and Democratic, lined up in support.

Not surprisingly, the bill has drawn criticism from Eyman, who has made initiatives, especially those on tax issues, his career. Eyman makes the point that any initiative that would attempt to make itself revenue-neutral by imposing a tax or by cutting programs would violate the constitution’s prohibition against initiatives addressing more than one issue, and he speaks from personal knowledge on that point, having had initiatives overturned because of it.

The frustration with I-1351 is understandable, but the Legislature should be careful with amendments to the constitution and with the people’s right to place initiatives on the ballot. The Legislature’s effort to secure agreement among two-thirds of itself would be better spent in amending or suspending I-1351.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■ROAD PROJECTS

Common sense can pave the way A quick note to Gov. Inslee: If our Snohomish County legislators are not willing to vote for the taxes to fund the road projects that they support I must point out that this at least represents an improvement in attitude. (Sunday article, “Inslee to area lawmakers: Step up for transportation package.”)

A decade ago this paper published state plans to use the first round of the nine-cent gas tax to rebuild the 172nd Street and I-5 interchange at Smokey Point so that it would not have to be worked on again for 20 years. Then state Sen. Val Stevens called the design a “Taj Mahal” and said not to bother. Since then, local agencies have funded a continuing rebuild, so now the interchange is a confusing spaghetti of concrete that took longer, cost more and does less than the original plan.

If our legislators now actually want to spend state money, that is an improvement. At least we are not like Vancouver, which last year walked away from a half-billion dollars in federal funding for a much needed new bridge over the Columbia. Their final excuse (among many) was that the trains that would use the bridge to connect Vancouver and downtown Portland were socialist.

I am not sure this is any better than calling a well-designed roadway a “Taj Mahal.” Perhaps some of the business people the conservative wing of the Legislature claims to represent can give them a few lessons in common-sense business practices. In the meantime, good luck to the governor in getting something — anything — accomplished this year.

IN OUR VIEW | 2015 Legislature

The Legislature is considering a few pieces of legislation regarding elections, some more helpful than others.

Senate Bill 5153 would bring some badly needed transparency to campaign donations, creating a new class of political action committee. As reported

by Herald Writer Jerry Cornfield last week, groups have taken advantage of the current system to shield the source of donations. The bill would require “incidental committees” to file reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission if they spend $25,000 or more on a campaign for a statewide ballot measure or office and would require identification of donors who contribute $2,000 or more.

Recent political campaigns, particularly for initiatives, have seen incredible growth in spending. The campaign against I-522, which sought labeling of food products using genetically modified ingredients, raised more than $21 million in 2013. And the drive to privatize liquor sales in the state, I-1183, raised

Editorial Board

Weather at work, not conspiracy I have heard altogether too much regarding “Deflategate.” Has anyone had the novel idea that the explanation of the loss of two pounds of air pressure in football has a simple, natural explanation?

The footballs are inflated in a building with room temperature near 70 degrees. The footballs are then taken outdoors where the temperature is somewhere close to freezing. The lowering of the temperature will naturally lower air pressure in the football by approximately two pounds.

Where, therefore, is the conspiracy? Where is the crime?

Where is the common sense?

Why no story on Right to Life rally

Just because Mr. Lynch adjusts his protective cup, the NFL fines him thousands of dollars. Has the NFL seen a baseball game? Players at bat spit and adjust their cups.

Everybody sees and understands what they are doing.

If they cheat they are thrown out of the game.

Now let’s get serious: “Deflategate.” Footballs do not deflate in cold weather, just ask the Packers, Bills or Jets/Giants.

Someone was told to deflate them; I wonder who would benefit from a deflated football the most? Come on NFL, quit stalling and do your job. Do it, do it right, do it now.

I am very disappointed in the Everett Herald for its total lack of reporting or coverage of one the most peaceful rallies of the year. In Washington D.C. and in Olympia. I mean the annual “Right to Life March.”

Both were unusually large gatherings, especially this year.

The one in Olympia was the largest ever held.

After 69 years of subscribing to The Herald, I am considering cancelling my subscription. There is scientific evidence that the total genetic code is present at conception —the blueprint for what and who that person can become. Their personality, body shape and size, eye and hair color.

Education can beat back inequality

I

t’s good that many Republicans have joined Democrats in declaring the growth of economic inequality a problem. And some are even looking to solutions beyond making the rich richer through tax cuts. As we’ve seen, rising stock prices do not necessarily lead to jobs — for Americans, that is.

The crumbling of the once-mighty American middle class has two unstoppable causes, globalization and automation, and one stoppable one, a poorly educated FROMA HARROP workforce. A high-school diploma no longer guarantees a decent income.

That’s something we can fix.

President Obama’s proposal for a free community college education is a good start.

Two-year colleges are the gateway to more job training or a four-year college degree.

Let’s dispense with defeatist talk that we can’t afford to educate our people.

Obama’s plan is to pay for the schooling with higher taxes on America’s economic elite. It wouldn’t even bother with the upper middle class, just the super-rich.

Do we hate the super-rich? We do not.

We can thank them as they contribute more to the country that made their fortunes possible.

Some less visionary Republican leaders have framed the proposal as an income redistribution plan. But the money would be redirected not from the rich to the nonrich but from the very rich to education.

A more productive labor force makes the entire country more prosperous.

Not everyone gets this. There remains a view of education chiefly as an expense rather than an investment in human capital.

An example can be seen in the House Republicans’ recent bill calling for “dynamic scoring” of legislation. It would require the official bean counters to include the economic benefits of tax cuts in scoring the cost of legislation. That would make tax cuts easier to pass.

The idea of “dynamic scoring” is not without merit, but the House’s vision has eyes only for tax cuts. Spending on things like roads and bridges also produces economic benefits. So does improving the workforce. Universal education is what made America great in the 20th century.

Some Republicans, especially on the state level, seem more enlightened on the importance of education as an investment in the future. Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has proposed a $1 billion tax increase to strengthen the state’s schools. Some fellow Republicans in the state Legislature think the conservative thing is to kill it and have vowed to do so.

In successful advanced economies, such as Germany’s, education is free right through med school. Here education has become a luxury item. It’s nuts that U.S. student debt has passed $1 trillion and that undergraduates who borrow for school now owe an average of $30,000.

Nearly 20 percent are in default on their student loans.

True, many students arrive at community college without the math they should have learned in fifth grade. Why? Lousy public schools? Chaotic home life? Newly arrived with little English?

Never mind why. Set up a classroom and teach them the math again — and, if necessary, again. For education, America should be the land of second chances, third chances and fourth chances.

As for the ages of those in the classroom, forget about that. Young to elderly, all should be welcome. And the learning should be free or just about.

Online classes already provide cheap and convenient instruction in almost every discipline. Perhaps Internet-based courses can break open the cages in which elite institutions trap students in ludicrously expensive degree programs.

Meanwhile, fight any effort to direct student aid at poor people only. Education should be regarded not as welfare but as basic, like water. So open the spigots, and let it flow.

Max I know he would’ve been rather sorry to hear all of the well meaning, yet ever so cliché things they said when he died, the things that are always said when somebody dies. Luckily, he has me, his younger sister, to write a demi epic eulogy written in his memory.

Like an onion, Max was a man of many layers. He was reserved to strangers, but those that knew Max, knew of his spicy spirit and passionate personality. He had an opinion about most ever ything, and he shared h i s t h o u g h t s f r e e l y. N o t merely smar t, he was an intellectual with imagination.

His favorite thing to study was history, and his favorite age in histor y was the medieval era. He liked to learn all about the world. He had hoped to travel and see it, someday. He lived most o f h i s l i fe i n Wa s h i n g to n State, though he spent two years in Georgia. He hated the weather there. He loved it in Washington State. He preferred the rain over the sun.

M a x l i v e d fo r t h e l i t t l e things in life. He enjoyed baking bread and cooking food for his family. He was an avid fan of books, The Game of Thrones, black classic converse, metal music, and mead wine. He loved our cats and dog. He w a s a b r o t h e r, a s o n , a friend, and a mortal man.

Max was here on earth for just a ¼ of a centur y. He should have stayed for another ½ century. Had he lived, he would have gone on to do whatever he wanted with his life. Maybe he’d brew his own mead and be the founder and owner of “Maxwell’s Mead Co.” Possibly he’d become a scribe, retire in time, and be revelry for years. Then, ever so old and wrinkly he’d die peacefully in his sleep knowing he had lived a long and well lived life.

Unfortunately, all of that is never to be. The fact is that far too soon, he lost his life, suddenly, and tragically. He is gone, but not forgotten….

Well, eventually we all will be, but until then…He will be remembered.

Janey was born February 4, 1926 in Seattle, Wash. If you met her she would introduce herself as, “Jane”, as in “Calamity Jane”, however, her family knew her as the true life “I Love Lucy” Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother that she was.

She was raised in Seattle and graduated from Franklin High where she started an intern job at Frederick and Nelson’s and with her delightful personality sold anything to anyone!

In 1943 her love for dancing took her to a USO dance where swinging to the big band sound she met and fell in love with her husband, Leon who was in the Navy.

Shortly thereafter they were married and star ted their family. After a short time in Mount Vernon, Wash. and then El Centro, California they came to Everett and then settled in Lake Stevens where they raised their five children.

Along with raising the five children Janey worked for JC Penney’s in Everett, a doctor’s of fice in Lake Stevens and then a doctor in Everett and then moved to Mukilteo for the later part of their life. For the most part of her life Janey spent helping others and would literally give the clothes off her back and has! She always loved true crime and created her own drama if she could not find it in a book or on TV. She also had a passion for painting and was noted for her talented watercolor pictures some of which were Mud Bay, Mukilteo Boathouse, Birches in the Snow, the ski slopes and the beautiful colors of the deserts of Arizona. Janey attracted all people with her open, friendly, comedic and innocent ways.

Up o n L e o n ’ s r et i r e m e n t they commenced traveling throughout the Southwest.

They loved the Arizona Canyons and back roads.

T h e t wo o f t h e m e n j oye d snow skiing, golf and dancing. Their favorite times found them once again on the dance floor enjoying the m u s i c o f t h e m a ny D i x i e Land Festivals they attended. Leon passed away in 2002 and Janey lived life to the fullest even as the d e m e n t i a t o o k h o l d . We picture Janey and Leon together once more in each ot h e r ’ s a r m s s w i n g i n g to their favorite tunes on the dance floor they so loved.

State officials unaware at first of November oil spill

By Curtis Tate McClatchy Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON — State and federal officials are investigating an oil spill from a railroad tank car at Washington state’s largest refinery last November, but key agencies were kept in the dark about it for at least a month.

The delayed notification of the spill highlights gaps in communication and enforcement as more crude oil shipments travel by rail.

According to reports reviewed by McClatchy, when the tank car arrived Nov. 5 at the BP Cherry Point refinery, Federal Railroad Administration inspectors discovered oil stains on its sides and wheels. A closer inspection revealed an open valve and a missing plug.

The car was also 1,611 gallons short.

Neither the railroad, nor the third-party company that unloaded the oil at the terminal, however, could determine where the missing oil had spilled, making it likely that it had leaked somewhere along the train’s 1,200-mile path between the loading terminal in Dore, North Dakota, and the refinery, near Ferndale.

The oil train route to Northwest refineries passes through national parks, along rivers and through the region’s population centers.

An oil release of that size from a marine tanker, a refinery or a storage facility would automatically trigger a well-established set of notification requirements that would result in the information about the incident flowing promptly to local, state and federal agencies.

There are state and federal hotlines for reporting an oil spill, yet the November incident was not initially reported to any local or state officials. The Washington state Utilities and Transportation Commission found out on Dec. 3 when it received a copy of the report BNSF Railway submitted to

Plans From Page A1

the eight-story building already on a tight budget, there’s no money to add that into the project.

A majority of the council members have said they’re dead-set against spending more on courthouse construction.

“I’m not in favor in any way of expanding the courthouse budget,” Councilman Terry Ryan said.

County officials insist they’re designing a replacement building that won’t add employees — or create any new parking demands.

“The courthouse project management team is disappointed by this last-minute change of direction mandated by the City Council,” reads a handout that county facilities director Mark Thunberg presented to County Council members Monday. “It seems reasonable that this requirement could have been communicated at any of a number of meetings or email exchanges over the past (two years), allowing the county team to work jointly with the city to resolve the issue.”

Mayor Ray Stephanson said county officials led him to believe there would be hundreds of spaces at the new courthouse. The plans actually include only 30 high-security parking spaces.

the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Railroads have 30 days to file such reports.

Courtney Wallace, a spokeswoman for BNSF, said that the train “was not in transit, not on our property and not in our custody” when the spill was detected and that the company submitted the required reports to state and federal regulators. She also said that no one reported evidence of spilled oil along BNSF track, which follows the Columbia River and parts of Puget Sound and passes through at least five of the state’s 10 most populous cities.

Scott Dean, a spokesman for BP, said the company “took this issue very seriously” and notified BNSF and Savage Services, which unloads the tank cars at the refinery. He added that federal regulators confirmed that the company had fulfilled its responsibilities.

The information never reached the Washington state Department of Ecology, which responds to inland oil spills; the U.S. Coast Guard, which responds to oil spills along navigable waterways; or the Whatcom County Unified Emergency Coordination Center. All three first learned of the incident last week from McClatchy.

The report BNSF filed to federal regulators indicates that no local emergency services were notified at the time of the incident.

State law requires railroads to report any hazardous materials release to the state emergency operations center within 30 minutes of learning of the incident. The center’s 24-hour duty officer shares spill information with all levels of government.

Karina Shagren, a spokeswoman for the state Emergency Management Division, said the department has no record of anyone calling to report an oil spill from a rail car at the refinery in November.

State and local officials

could have known about the spill sooner if it had been reported to the U.S. Coast Guard’s National Response Center hotline.

The center shares information about reported spills to state and local agencies.

Federal and state regulators are investigating.

“If we discover that the shipper or the railroad ran afoul of federal safety regulations,” said Kevin Thompson, a spokesman for the Federal Railroad Administration, “we will take appropriate enforcement actions.”

Kathy Hunter, rail safety manager at the state Utilities and Transportation Commission, said the commission is assisting with the federal investigation.

The Department of Ecology also has launched an investigation.

“There may have been a gap in reporting protocol,” said David Byers, spill response manager for the department. “We’re investigating to determine if there was one.”

The rail industry and its regulators have been working to improve communication with state and local emergency response officials following a series of high-profile oil train derailments and spills in the past few years. Still, the November oil spill shows the kinds of hidden risks that continue to emerge in communities where the oil is transported by rail.

It also has shown enforcement gaps, especially at the state level.

Washington state has four inspectors on its payroll who are certified by the Federal Railroad Administration, one each for track, signals, operations and hazardous materials.

The state, however, does not have an inspector for locomotives and equipment. A state inspector would report any oil spill immediately to other state agencies. Had a state inspector been present at the Cherry Point refinery when the oil-stained car arrived in November instead of just federal ones, the state would have been notified sooner.

The new building also will eliminate more than 130 spaces in a county-run parking lot at Wall Street and Oakes Avenue. While not in heavy use most days, those spaces do fill up during events at the Xfinity Arena across the street.

The city also maintains that the county has fallen short of a 2002 agreement to provide at least 1,385 off-street parking spaces around the county’s downtown administration buildings. That was one of the reasons the city used to reject the county’s environmental application for building the courthouse.

Everett’s demands are firm, Stephanson said.

County officials, however, say they’re still confused about what the city expects.

“From my standpoint, it makes some sense that we might have to replace the surface parking that we’re displacing. That seems reasonable to me,” Council Chairman Dave Somers said. “Three-hundred spaces for a new courthouse when we’re essentially moving across the street doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Postponing courthouse construction will cost money.

Contractor Hoffman Construction Co. of Seattle estimated that every month the groundbreaking gets pushed back will increase costs by at least $193,000, mainly because of market forces.

The county has spent nearly $7 million on the

new courthouse so far, without a single shovel of dirt being turned. At least $3.4 million was used to buy six properties condemned for the new building, county figures show. The total includes relocation costs for affected businesses.

Thunberg suggested that the county might consider building its new courthouse outside of Everett.

The county charter specifies that the county seat must be in Everett.

However, there is precedent for putting major court facilities outside the county seat, as with King County’s Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

If Snohomish County officials were to consider another city, they would need to evaluate what long-term inefficiencies that could create, such as added costs for transporting prisoners there from the county jail in downtown Everett.

Reevaluating the courthouse plans could entail more stakeholder meetings among elected leaders, judges and other court personnel, Wright said. She’s worried about the long-term consequences if county leaders move ahead with the current plan.

“I am committed, we do need a new courthouse, we do need to move forward on something,” she said. “I’m just afraid that under these constraints, we’re not going to make the best possible decisions.”

Barber school in Everett offers cheap haircuts for students to learn

PHOTOS BY MARK MULLIGAN / THE HERALD

Jarrod Grooms has a Seahawks logo razored into his Friday hair by barber student Angel Mayi at Paroba College in Everett. Grooms, who once was a student at the school, is now a regular customer. Mayi has been using his skills to put a lot of Seahawks logos into people’s haircuts in the past week.

A little off the top A

haircut for $1?

No way.

Yes way. That’s what the sign on Everett Mall Way said, with “Go Hawks” above the $1 deal to grab attention, as if it needed more attention.

That’s two haircuts for the price of one gallon of gas. That’s crazy.

What’s up with that?

It’s typical of the deals at Paroba College to drum up business for its barber students.

Sometimes, it’s $3. Or $1.99.

Different specials. Different days.

“When it’s slow for the barbers, we just randomly come up with them and post a sign by the road,” said Amber Edwards, receptionist at the beauty career school that also has cosmetology and esthetics services.

Barber cuts aren’t for men only.

“We get women with long hair in here who want it trimmed.

Anybody, no matter how long your hair is, how thick,” Edwards said.

Barber students learn cuts and styles for all scalps as well as braiding, clipping, designing, shaving, shampooing and working with artificial hair.

Barber cuts are normally $5 at the walk-in friendly school.

It gives the students experience, said barber instructor Patience Hoffman, who has a

“We do senior centers for free,” Hoffman said. “We need a lot of guys to practice haircuts with.”

The more heads the merrier. Nonprofits can contact the school to arrange free cuts by barber students, said Mary Kay Jurovcik, Paroba marketing director.

“In the last several years there’s been this resurgence of the traditional barbershop,” Jurovcik said.

“The hot water shave is really in fashion right now. Men’s grooming has become more popular.

We’re seeing a huge uptick in men taking care of their nails, their skin, getting facials. That is universally true in our industry.”

For barbers, it takes 1,000 hours of training to get eligible for the state exam. The cosmetology program is 1,600 hours and a different curriculum.

Everett resident Alexis Abarca, 21, is halfway through the

eight-month barber program.

“By May, I should be graduating from here and starting on my new journey,” he said. “I’m going to get my foot in the door somewhere and after that build my own shop, and then from there start an empire.”

Abarca and clippers go way back. “When I was about 12, I grabbed the clippers and did my own hair. I cut my brother’s hair, my dad’s hair,” he said. “When I was little, I was a troubled kid.

I changed my life around. I like cutting hair. It’s kind of therapy.

It makes people feel good about themselves.”

It was from a $1 “Go Hawks” haircut customer that Abarca got his biggest tip ever: $20. “The guy really liked his haircut,” he said.

Student Roy Buch, 18, commutes from Seattle.

“My mom’s a barber,” Buch said. “I just didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself and I was going to join the military at first. I never really paid attention before, but after I started watching my mom I got more interested.”

It’s harder than it looks.

“Just knowing all the angles you need to know to cut the hair,” he said. “And women’s hair. I get more nervous.”

Paroba for cuts.

“I know they’re just students cutting the hair,” she said, “but they do just as good of a job as a professional salon for less than half the price and they get the experience. I’ve always been satisfied.”

Ditto for her son, Kaiden Jay, 10. “I always get a haircut I like and it gets done really well, too,” he said. “I try different ways.”

That included a big Seahawks logo shaved into the side of his head.

All for an extra $5.

Cardiovascular disease linked to chronic infections

W

e all know that cholesterol and saturated fat are bad for your heart.

But what about gum disease and other chronic infections? Current evidence indicates that infection may be a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and hardening of the arteries.

Scientists suspect that certain infections may set the stage for heart disease by triggering chronic inflammation of blood vessel walls. Step by step, here’s how it could happen. First, an infection attracts white blood cells to the infected area. Second, these cells secrete substances into the bloodstream that can damage arterial walls and cause scar tissue to form. Third, scar tissue and fat develop into thick layers of artery-plugging plaque.

Several chronic infections are associated with heart disease:

infections, especially those caused by the bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae, may be linked to heart disease.

Viral infections. Certain flulike viruses have been detected in the arterial plaque of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Infection-control measures may help prevent later development of heart disease. Here are some simple prevention tips you can use: ■■Each day brush your teeth twice and floss once. Schedule a dental checkup at least every six months.

■■Wash your hands before meals and after using the bathroom.

■■Stop smoking. Chemicals in tobacco cause both gum and heart disease.

■■Contact your primary care physician promptly for the treatment of infections.

■■Get all recommended vaccinations. Future research may

What is genomics research?

The term genomics describes the study of all the genes in a person (the genome) and how the genes interact with each other and with the person’s environment. Genomic research looks at complex diseases such as heart disease, asthma, diabetes and cancer since these disorders are usually caused by interactions between multiple genes and the environment. In contrast, traditional genetics examines diseases caused by a single gene such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia.

Studying both genetic and environmental factors in combination has helped genomic researchers find new ways to improve health

and prevent disease. Diet and exercise plans can be personalized, for instance, to help prevent diabetes in a person genetically susceptible to the disease.

Medications can be chosen based on a person’s likely response to certain drugs given their genetics.

Genomic research will continue to bring greater options for individualizing medical care.

How to stay connected to friends with kids?

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: Is it normal that friends with kids, once they have kids, become harder to feel connected to? We all graduated college together, started getting jobs, married, etc. Now I’m the last of the group that doesn’t have kids — and I have a hard time feeling connected anymore to those who have kids. I don’t know how to relate to their primary focus, and it’s so much harder to find time to just get together. It’s even harder to say, “Hey, it’d be great if we could get together without your kids,” just so that we’re not being interrupted every few minutes by a needy child. I love their kids, but don’t want those to be the only get-togethers we have.

— Friend of Friends With Kids It’s normal, but this is normal too: People with jerk tendencies keep those when they have kids, and people with non-jerk tendencies tend to keep those when they have kids. (As do their friends, not coincidentally.)

The practical application being, someone with a me-centric worldview will find it difficult to impossible to hear that you aren’t as charmed by their precious offspring as they are, and will make you pay for your honesty.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Someone less self-absorbed will have no trouble remembering that being around other people’s snot-encrusted, impulse-controlchallenged need factories is not everything you had hoped your Saturday night would be.

Plus, few people are so absorbed in their kids as to miss a judgmental subtext. (On the contrary; they’ve likely been subject to so much judging just during pregnancy alone that they spot it instantly.) If you genuinely accept the reason their attention has shifted from you in a fundamental and necessary way, then they will be much more likely to respond warmly to your request for a justadults evening (if they’re not jerks; see above): “Hell, yes, I need one more than you do” is often how those responses go.

But if your tone implies that your

friends have lost all perspective and that when you have kids you’ll be much more grounded, oh, and by the way, your kids won’t cry and will walk, talk, poop in the toilet and prefer broccoli by six months, max, then your suggestion they get a baby sitter will be as welcome as a loaded diaper after a day of cheese and blueberries.

Balance helps, too. Put in a couple of hours helping them wrangle their monsters at the zoo, and you’re good for at least a couple of invitations that require them to get a baby sitter. As with everything else, everyone needs either to be flexible or to live with the results of not being so.

Re: Without Kids: You know how I’ve solved this in a win-win way? I bring ingredients, and we cook dinner together after the kiddos go to bed. I can help with bedtime and read a story or whatever, then we get to have adult time after, all without baby sitter expenses. I think what I’ve found is that if you’re flexible, you can get the best of all worlds!

Woman is not that into her boyfriend Dear Abby: I am considered to be a quite attractive — easily a nine or a 10 — professional dancer here in Las Vegas. I recently met a guy who has literally met almost all my dream qualities for a life partner, husband and father of my future children.

The problem is, I’m not attracted to him. He’s not ugly; he has symmetrical features, straight teeth, nice skin and is in pretty good shape, if a little on the skinny side. I have always dated muscular, very fit men who get me excited at the sight of them, and I’m wondering if there’s something wrong with me because after nine months I’m still struggling with his looks.

I feel like there is no sexual chemistry. But we have another kind of chemistry because we get along great, and he motivates me to be a better person.

Am I shallow, or is the lack of sexual chemistry a sign that maintaining a successful long-term relationship won’t happen?

— Miss Picky In Las Vegas Dear Miss Picky: I’m not going to call you shallow.

Whether lack of sexual chemistry is a deal-breaker for you depends upon how important sex is to you.

From what you have told me, looks are a primary factor in what draws you to men.

Bear in mind that men who are Adonises can lose their looks if they don’t consistently work at it — just as women do. That’s why, if you’re looking for a long-term relationship, it’s extremely important to take into consideration qualities that will last.

DEAR ABBY conversations we had before the dementia began, we (Mom, my sisters and I) have decided to forgo treatment. She has been widowed for 17 years; she watched her husband — our father — die from cancer. She lives in an excellent health care facility that will provide her with palliative care when the time is right.

How do we inform family and friends of her diagnosis and of our treatment plan?

Without knowing the whole story, without having seen her very recently, it seems everyone has an opinion on what we “should” do. How do we tell these people that, while we appreciate their concern, this is her decision without hurting their feelings and our relationships?

— Family With A Dilemma Dear Dilemma: How do these unwanted advice givers know that you do not plan to subject your mother to treatments that would only prolong her decline? If you solicited their opinion, you made a mistake. If you didn’t, then the last sentence of your letter — if said kindly — is an appropriate way to phrase the message.

Your mother’s treatment plan is nobody’s business but yours and your sisters’.

If these are her wishes as stated in her advance directive for health care, then you should respect them.

To do otherwise would be a betrayal of her trust.

Rogen apologizes for ‘American Sniper’ tweets LOS ANGELES — Seth Rogen responded to the outrage incited by a series of tweets he wrote regarding the film “American Sniper” in a statement last Thursday, saying it wasn’t his intent to offend anyone or to say anything with political implications.

The actor and filmmaker, fresh off of the whirlwind, Sony-hack-addled release of his film “The Interview,” was thrown back into the spotlight Sunday when he tweeted that “American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that’s showing in the third act of (Inglourious) Basterds.”

Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 revenge

fantasy film shows clips from a fake propaganda movie about a skilled Nazi sniper.

Online outlets concluded that Rogen’s intent was to liken Clint Eastwood’s factSeth Rogen based drama about the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle to “Nazi propaganda.”

On Monday, Rogen went back to Twitter to clarify that he “actually liked” Eastwood’s film and that he wasn’t comparing the two at all.

In his statement, Rogen reiterated

that the movie only reminded him of the other “because they both involved plots about the most lethal of snipers.”

“My comment about the movie was not meant to have any political implications,” he said. “Any political meaning was ascribed to my comment by news commentary.”

Rogen also apologized for any offense his tweets might have caused. The actor concluded the statement by saying he hoped that “this clears things up.”

Cumberbatch sorry for calling black actors ‘colored’ LONDON — Benedict Cumberbatch says he was an “idiot” to refer to non-white actors as “colored.”

The Academy Award-nominated actor used the word on PBS talk show “Tavis Smiley” last week while discussing diversity in the entertainment industry.

He said that “as far as colored actors go,” there were more opportunities in the U.S. than Britain,

“and that’s something that needs to change.”

British anti-racism charity Show Racism the Red Card said it welcomed Cumberbatch’s comments Benedict on diversity but felt Cumberbatch the term he used was “outdated.”

In a statement Monday, Cumberbatch apologized for his “thoughtless use of inappropriate language.”

“I’m devastated to have caused offence by using this outmoded terminology,” Cumberbatch said. “I offer my sincere apologies. I make no excuse for my being an idiot and know the damage is done.”

Collins regrets inappropriate actions with young girls LOS ANGELES — Veteran television actor Stephen Collins and his wife of nearly 30 years have finalized their divorce, an acrimonious breakup that revealed the former “7th Heaven” star had inappropriate contact with underage girls decades ago.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael J. Convey on Friday approved a divorce judgment that ended Collins’ marriage to Faye Grant, who first disclosed molestation allegations against her estranged husband in court filings.

Collins acknowledged he acted inappropriately with three underage

girls in incidents that occurred between 1973 and 1994.

The revelation cost Collins several roles after audio of a 2012 therapy session in which he discussed Stephen the incidents was Collins posted by celebrity website TMZ last year.

Collins sought to deny his wife any future spousal support payments.

Collins filed for divorce in May 2012 and the case received little attention until the molestation allegations became public.

The actor acknowledged in an interview with Katie Couric that he molested one girl and engaged in sexual misconduct with two other underage girls. He denied he was a pedophile and said he has controlled his urges since 1994.

The incidents occurred between 1973 and 1994, according to a statement Collins released to People magazine in December.

“Forty years ago, I did something terribly wrong that I deeply regret,” Collins wrote. “I have been working to atone for it ever since.”

On Friday night, the Jackson boys basketball team lost to a conference opponent for the first time in more than 50 games, a streak that dated back to the 2011-12 season.

The run is not all that surprising given the talent that has come through Jackson the past five years. The fact the streak extended so far into this season — after the Timberwolves lost 10 seniors from a group that placed fourth at the Class 4A state tournament last year — might have surprised some, but not the Jackson players.

Jackson rolled through the first half of the Wesco 4A schedule with an unblemished record and beat Mount Vernon for a second time last Tuesday, adding eight victories to the streak before losing to Snohomish on Friday.

“I certainly thought we’d be in the mix,” Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said. “I still think, and I know it’s a lot of coach speak, that’s it’s a very even league, a very balanced league and there’s a lot of basketball still to be played. I really think anybody can beat anybody. I really do believe that.

“I thought we’d be in the mix and we’d be a contender and that’s where we are, we’re in the mix and we’re a contender.”

Despite Friday’s loss, Jackson (8-1 in league) still leads Snohomish (7-2) by one game in the Wesco 4A standings.

While the Timberwolves’ conference record looks similar to that of recent teams, their overall mark of 10-5 is a bit of a change from the norm. Jackson lost its first two games of the season by 20-plus points to Glacier Peak and Stanwood, respectively. The Timberwolves didn’t lose their second game last season until the state quarterfinals.

“We really came together (after the second loss of the season) and really buckled down and just said, ‘We’re not going to let this define us,’” junior guard Sam Saufferer said. “A season is a long time, so we’re going to show what we’re capable of.”

With an inexperienced group that, for the most part, is getting its first taste of full-time varsity action, Jackson put much of its focus on its league games.

“I don’t want to say we wanted to lose nonleague games or that we really played them in any different way,” Johnson said, “but I think the kids have showed some maturity in that they realize the league games are obviously what count the most.”

Led by Jason Todd, Dan Kingma and Brian Zehr, last year’s Jackson team had a group of senior leaders with a wealth of varsity

fast start in league play.

“Considering the past five or six teams have all done it, there’s no reason that we should expect different from us,” he said. “Nothing against any other team, but we should expect to go undefeated in league. That’s just what our program produces. We should expect, not perfection, but we should definitely expect greatness.”

Saufferer leads the team in scoring at 14.0 points per game. Although he saw varsity time last season, he’s still adjusting to his new role.

“I think we still have a lot of room for improvement,” Saufferer said. “I don’t think we’ve peaked yet. We’ve played some good games, but we need to clean up our play. I think that will happen within the course of this season. It starts with practice and we come in every day ready to work.”

The other coaches in the league voted Jackson third in the preseason coaches’ poll.

The 0-2 start to the season made that prediction look kind, but the Timberwolves never lost faith in themselves — and never paid any attention to the polls.

“We knew nothing about that and, frankly, we don’t care,” Saufferer said. “We’re coming in here to play our game with each other.

We’re a family — on and off the court. We’re just trying to do what we can do best. We don’t really care what anyone else thinks. We just care (about) what we can do and what we’re capable of.”

Johnson said he expects his team to have a target on its back the second half of the season.

“Sort of another step in their progression is how they can handle success,” Johnson said.

“It’s nice to have a program that can quickly turn it around after losing such a great group of guys and be competitive. I can see why it’s newsworthy, but by the same token, handling success and trying to beat teams the second time we play them and the third time we play them is kind of a whole different deal.”

Each year brings new challenges and experiences, Johnson said, but he said he relishes coaching this group, just as he did those that came before.

“I really do believe that high school sports are about developing kids and leaders,” Johnson said. “Having some of these kids stepping into a leadership role and trying to give them some tools and some structure and letting them kind of understand that they can become leaders and they can become good role models for others, that’s been, so far at this midway point, really rewarding.”

experience. But it was the depth of the roster that forced many of the players who are excelling this season to wait their turn.

“The starting five were pretty well celebrated and that wasn’t a big mystery really all over the area that they were really good players,” Johnson said of last season’s team. “The five seniors that didn’t start, they were good enough that you had to give them the nod over some pretty good (younger) players.

“You usually have a situation where a guy might be a role player as a junior and then as a senior he goes from a role player to more of a prominent player. These guys had to go from not even on the roster to a prominent player.

There’s no question that was challenging.”

Guard Frank Rossi was listed on the varsity roster last season, but saw limited action.

Guard Dolan Tierney and guard/forward Yegor Gorbenko didn’t see any varsity action.

Now seniors, all three have been a major part of the team’s success this season.

“The change of roles from going to a starter from a complete end-of-the-bench player made me more hungry as a player and made me want to come out this season and give it my all because we’ve only got one year,” Rossi said. “You might as well, right? That’s what we all came out here to do.”

Another senior, guard Isaiah Patrick, saw some varsity time a year ago, but won’t play this season because of a torn ACL in his left knee. He’s remains with the Timberwolves in a mentor/coach role, and downplays the team’s

HOENIX — Despite what you might have heard from Seattle cornerback Jeremy Lane last week, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski has the undivided attention of the Seahawks heading into Super Bowl XLIX. “Today I went back to a cut-up of Rob just to check him out, to see if there’s some things we could help our guys out on, because he’s such an effective player,” Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Monday.

“He really has all of the elements that you’re looking for

One of the best matchups in a Super Bowl full of them figures to be Gronkowski against Seattle’s strong safety/damager of souls Kam Chancellor. But while I hate to be the one to ruin a juicy storyline, Sunday’s game won’t really be a matchup between “Gronk” and See BOYLE, Page C2

reetings from Thank-Goodness-This-Isn’t-New-York, Arizona.

As you might remember, last year’s freak-out over playing the Super Bowl in a cold weather city turned out to be much ado about nothing. Well, until everyone tried to go home the day after the game at least. But with a big storm hitting the east coast Monday, everybody in Phoenix is thankful that Mother Nature waited a year to slam New York with a late January storm.

Then again, it did rain a bit in Phoenix Monday, so maybe we should complain about that … nah.

As expected, my Alaska Airlines flight was packed with Seahawks fans. I learned that people wearing Russell Wilson jerseys are apparently more important than me when it comes to boarding a plane. Before landing, flight attendants handed out rubber wrist bands to celebrate Wilson, their “Chief Football Officer” — surely you’ve seen the commercials a few (hundred) times.

The bands had different slogans, including “the separation is in the preparation,” leading me to dub them clichecelets. And no, I’m not proud of that joke. OK, I sort of am.

After arriving in Phoenix midday, checking into the hotel and getting my credential, it was off to the Seahawks’ team hotel for Pete Carroll and player availability. It was mercifully free, or almost free, of deflatedfootball questions (have I mentioned yet that I’m really glad to not be covering the Patriots this week?)

Of course getting from the media center involved a bus ride. And as I learned last year, bus rides at the Super Bowl mean ridiculously excessive police escorts — we had at least 12 police motorcycles leading our convoy. And by the way, it’s still funny the second time around to see people look at our bus and wave, assuming it must be a team or something to demand such a large police presence. They’d be so disappointed if they knew who was really inside.

Tuesday is media day, which should be, well, a disaster, but hopefully a fun disaster. Media day is the least productive day for those of us who are here to actually write about football. OK, gotta wrap this up; it’s time to find a very late dinner. Hopefully if I’m out too late I can find 20 cops to walk me home.

Staff writer John Boyle will be writing a postcard from Arizona each day leading up to Super Bowl XLIX.

Huskies’ Upshaw dismissed for violating team rules 7-foot junior center leads the nation in blocked shots

SEATTLE — Robert Upshaw stood outside Washington’s locker room on Sunday at the Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, vowing that the Huskies would work harder in practice this week to atone for their 77-56 loss at No. 12 Utah.

He spoke passionately — frustrated by the loss, but optimistic about the future.

“I believe in all my teammates,” said Upshaw, who scored 13 points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked five shots in the game. “They believe in me, and I’m not going to give up on them.

Whether they have a bad day or they put their head down, I’m not going to give up on them.”

Just like that, Washington’s already uncertain path to the NCAA tournament has taken a disastrous turn.

“We wish Rob well as he moves forward in his life,” UW coach Lorenzo Romar said in a statement, “and we will do our best to support him in the future.”

Browner: Patriots should target Sherman’s and Thomas’ injuries

By John Boyle Herald Writer

PHOENIX — Brandon Browner signed with New England in free agency before the 2014 season, but as a member of Seattle’s secondary for three seasons in which the Seahawks came of age, he still has a special place in the hearts of the former teammates he and the Patriots will face in Super Bowl XLIX. “He’s still a (Legion of Boom) member,” cornerback Richard Sherman said, referring to the nickname given to the Seahawks’ secondary while Browner was still in Seattle. “He’s still a great friend of ours. ... It’s like playing your brothers — you play against your brothers, it’s going to be a fun game. At the end of the day, you hug, shake hands, and we’ll hang out this offseason. But this 60 minutes, it’ll be a fun battle and it’ll be a joy to play.

“We’re happy to see his success.”

Well apparently in football, like in real life, brothers don’t always play nice.

In an interview with ESPN’s Josina Anderson that aired Monday, Browner said his friendship with players like Sherman, free safety Earl Thomas and strong safety Kam Chancellor ends on the field. In fact, when asked about his injured former teammates — Sherman (elbow) and Thomas (shoulder) are both recovering from injuries suffered in the NFC championship game — Browner praised his teammates’ toughness, but he also suggested that his Patriot teammates should target those injuries.

“Those dudes are tough,” Browner told Anderson. “Watching the game, you see Sherman was holding that arm like he had a sling on. But at the end of the day, this is about the Super Bowl. I’m gonna tell my teammates ‘go hit that elbow, go hit that shoulder,’” Browner said.

“Most definitely. Hit it, yeah. Try to break it if you can. You can be

my best friend after the game but, at the end of the day, I know you want the Super Bowl just as bad as I do.”

Both Sherman and Thomas had press conferences Sunday, so neither was available to address Browner’s comments Monday, but several Seahawks players did.

Linebacker K.J. Wright wasn’t happy with those comments, saying, “We don’t play like that.

We don’t go out there and try to hurt guys. And I don’t care if they do have an injury, we’re not going out there trying to hurt people, and especially guys you’re close to.”

Other players asked about Browner, however, didn’t seem bothered by what he said.

“B.B. is like a brother to us, man,” Chancellor said. “All I can say is God bless his heart. His heart, it tells everything. The man upstairs knows, so bless his heart.”

Receiver Doug Baldwin said that while Browner’s comments weren’t politically correct, they’re not that different than what any player might be thinking before playing the biggest

game of their careers.

“I would expect nothing less,” Baldwin said. “This is the Super Bowl. What do you expect? I understand the fans want it to be classy, said publicly, and everything to be said politically correct, but that is the truth of the matter. We want this game just as much as they do and they want this game just as much as we do. I expect nothing less from Brandon Browner. We go after them in an aggressive fashion just as much as they are going to go after us. ... You find whatever edge you can or whatever weakness your opponent has and you try to take advantage of it so you can take the upper hand.”

Carroll will talk to Lynch Running back Marshawn Lynch has twice been fined by the NFL this season for grabbing his crotch to celebrate touchdown runs, and the league warned the Seahawks doing so again would result in a 15yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Seattle head coach Pete Carroll was asked about the topic for the second straight day Monday, and said he would be talking to his star running back, while also going out of his way to point out that Lynch is a

Sherman’s opinion Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman made waves Sunday when he said the New England Patriots wouldn’t be punished for this deflated-ball scandal because of the close relationship between NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Patriots owner Robert Craft.

Asked about those comments a day later or if he would talk to Sherman about them, Carroll said, “That is what he said. Richard has an outlook that Richard owns and he had an opinion about something. I don’t think he knows the commissioner and Mr. Kraft very well. I don’t think they have a longstanding relationship, but he has an opinion of that and he expressed it.

“Whether I talk to him about it or not, he’s still going to have his opinion. We actually talk about most everything that is spoken, so eventually that will come up. I don’t think — we won’t share with you how that comes out and all, but we will talk about stuff. We always have.”

Asked if he agreed with Sherman’s assessment of the Goodell-Kraft relationship was accurate, Carroll said, “I don’t know that. It’s just Richard’s opinion. That’s the easy part of this, that’s what he thought.”

Report: NFL eyes Pats’ locker room attendant

By Tom Rock Newsday

ELISE AMENDOLA / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cornerback Brandon Browner, who signed with the Patriots prior to the 2014 season played his first three NFL seasons for the Seahawks.

unique character.

“We’re just going to talk as we would to make sure that everything that comes into this game will be in alignment with how we want to go about the game,” Carroll said. “I would just tell you that it’s no different than when I would talk to other players about other issues and all kinds of situations that will come up.

It’s pretty typical for us to do that, so we’ll address it.”

“We have a great understanding on our team that allows us to talk about whatever we have to talk about and to address all of the issues when we need to. But I’ll say this, and let me say it again, we still celebrate the uniqueness of our players. We celebrate their way that they see the world as they fit in with our football team.

“When things come in conflict with what we’re going to do as a team, we always address those things the best we can and hopefully we head off things that are going to hurt us and get in our way. We have to be really good at that. We have been over the years and hopefully we’ll do it again here.”

Has the NFL found the smoking deflator?

A New England Patriots locker room attendant has become a “person of interest” in the NFL’s investigation into the use of deflated footballs in the AFC title game, according to Fox Sports.

The unnamed attendant already has been interviewed by league investigators, according to the report, which emerged on Monday afternoon. Fox Sports cited unnamed sources saying the NFL is “trying to determine whether any wrongdoing by this individual occurred,” but also reported that there is surveillance video showing the attendant taking the footballs from the official’s locker room into another room at Gillette

“Bam Bam” unless the Seahawks go way off script.

Yes Chancellor will cover and/ or try to tackle New England’s All-Pro tight end plenty, but so too will linebackers K.J. Wright and Bobby Wanger and free safety Earl Thomas, to name a few. Think back to Seattle’s playoff game against New Orleans last season; there was no single player responsible for taking Jimmy Graham out of the game, it was a group effort.

It has been discussed so often now it’s almost easy to take for granted as the Seahawks once again were the best defensive team in football. But part of what makes Seattle’s defense so dominant is its simplicity. With very few exceptions, Seattle’s defense isn’t out to fool you; instead the Seahawks line up, either playing Cover Three or man-toman coverage, and just try to

Stadium before bringing them out to the field.

If the Fox Sports report is true and the video shows the footballs entering another area of the stadium between the officials’ inspection and the field, there is a chance they could have been tampered with at that point.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have professed their innocence publicly in the matter. In a radio interview on Monday morning, Brady was asked if he ever requested any members of the Patriots staff deflate footballs below the 12.5 pounds per square inch threshold set by NFL rules.

“Absolutely not,” he said on WEEI. “No, I didn’t. And I haven’t. And I never will. I think that’s obviously how I feel and the kind of person that I am.”

Brady said last week that he also questioned members of the

Patriots staff himself about the footballs to try to find out why they were deflated. He said they told him they had no knowledge of anyone deliberately taking air out of footballs. “And I believe them,” Brady said.

Belichick said on Saturday that the Patriots re-enacted their process of selecting and prepping gameday footballs in an effort to find out why they could have become deflated. Belichick claimed that the handling of the footballs along with atmospheric conditions indoors and outdoors could have led to a decrease in pressure.

The league found that the footballs used in the first half of the AFC Championship against the Colts at rainy Gillette Stadium were deflated. According to the NFL’s statement last week, the footballs were re-inflated to proper specifications at halftime

and returned to the game for the second half. At the conclusion of the game, the balls had retained their proper pressure.

There have been reports that the NFL was aware of the Patriots’ use of deflated footballs in the past — the Colts suspected it when they played them in the regular season, Newsday and others have reported — and that the league was prepared to inspect the footballs at halftime of the AFC Championship even if the Colts had not issued a challenge during the game.

The NFL’s investigation is being led jointly by NFL executive vice president Jeff Pash and Ted Wells of the law firm of Paul Weiss. The league also has retained Renaissance Associates, an investigatory firm with sophisticated forensic expertise to assist in reviewing electronic and video information.

out-execute and out-hit you.

Even when they’re facing one of the most dominant players in the NFL this season.

“It’s clear cut, it’s basic, it’s simple,” Chancellor said.

“Whether it’s me playing in the box, whether it’s me playing man-coverage, whether it’s me playing robber, whether it’s Cover Three, it’s just plain and simple rules. Beyond that, it’s just reading and reacting, studying film, it’s how teams are going to attack you. That’s it.”

And make no mistake, the times Chancellor, arguably the best strong safety in the game, and Gronkowski, who had 1,124 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, do face off, it will be must-see TV. Asked what would happen if those two physical players collided at full speed, Richard Sherman said, “I don’t know, but I’ll be sitting there with popcorn.”

Or as Wright puts it, “It would be a classic matchup. Our best against their best.”

But what it won’t be is a matchup that is forced on Chancellor down after down. That’s not how the Seahawks operate.

In the eyes of Carroll, one of the best defensive minds in the game, the best defense is a fast, physical and disciplined one that doesn’t require too much thinking in the heat of the moment.

“We have a simple scheme that we play with on defense, because we found that it allows these guys that we have to really demonstrate the wonderful stuff that they can bring to the football game,” Carroll said. “So that’s why we’ve done it and how we’ve done it in all phases.”

As for Lane’s “I actually don’t think he’s that good” comment about Gronkowski, it obviously wasn’t the smartest thing to say.

Well, unless Lane’s goal was to earn some notoriety before the Super Bowl, in which case, mission accomplished. But I don’t think Lane was saying it to be malicious, but rather that he was just reflecting the extreme confidence — the borderline arrogance, if you

prefer — that helps make this historically great defense tick.

It isn’t that the Seahawks don’t think Gronkowski is a good player — “great” was the word repeatedly used by just about every member of Seattle’s defense besides Lane — it’s that the Seahawks truly believe they are better than any offense they’ll face if they are taking care of their business.

The way these players see the world, if everyone just does their job, whether that’s Chancellor or Wright or Thomas or anyone else dealing with Gronkowski, that will be enough.

“We worry about what we have to do,” Thomas said. “We worry about our job and it is just the personnel and the matchups. We match up very well in this game, so we are going to focus in our job and own our role. I want to be the best free safety for the Seattle Seahawks and we will see what happens at the end of the game.”

New faces, same results Despite losing 10 seniors off last year’s state-tournament team, the Jackson Timberwolves have continued their winning ways

By Aaron Lommers Herald Writer

On Friday night, the Jackson boys basketball team lost to a conference opponent for the first time in more than 50 games, a streak that dated back to the 2011-12 season.

The run is not all that surprising given the talent that has come through Jackson the past five years. The fact the streak extended so far into this season — after the Timberwolves lost 10 seniors from a group that placed fourth at the Class 4A state tournament last year — might have surprised some, but not the Jackson players.

Jackson rolled through the first half of the Wesco 4A schedule with an unblemished record and beat Mount Vernon for a second time last Tuesday, adding eight victories to the streak before losing to Snohomish on Friday.

“I certainly thought we’d be in the mix,” Jackson head coach Steve Johnson said. “I still think, and I know it’s a lot of coach speak, that’s it’s a very even league, a very balanced league and there’s a lot of basketball still to be played. I really think anybody can beat anybody. I really do believe that.

“I thought we’d be in the mix and we’d be a contender and that’s where we are, we’re in the mix and we’re a contender.”

Despite Friday’s loss, Jackson (8-1 in league) still leads Snohomish (7-2) by one game in the Wesco 4A standings.

While the Timberwolves’ conference record looks similar to that of recent teams, their overall mark of 10-5 is a bit of a change from the norm. Jackson lost its first two games of the season by 20-plus points to Glacier Peak and Stanwood, respectively. The Timberwolves didn’t lose their second game last season until the state quarterfinals.

“We really came together (after the second loss of the season) and really buckled down and just said, ‘We’re not going to let this define us,’” junior guard Sam Saufferer said. “A season is a long time, so we’re going to show what we’re capable of.”

With an inexperienced group that, for the most part, is getting its first taste of full-time varsity action, Jackson put much of its focus on its league games.

“I don’t want to say we wanted to lose nonleague games or that we really played them in any different way,” Johnson said, “but I think the kids have showed some maturity in that they realize the league games are obviously what count the most.”

Led by Jason Todd, Dan Kingma and Brian Zehr, last year’s Jackson team had a group of senior leaders with a wealth of varsity

experience. But it was the depth of the roster that forced many of the players who are excelling this season to wait their turn.

“The starting five were pretty well celebrated and that wasn’t a big mystery really all over the area that they were really good players,” Johnson said of last season’s team. “The five seniors that didn’t start, they were good enough that you had to give them the nod over some pretty good (younger) players.

“You usually have a situation where a guy might be a role player as a junior and then as a senior he goes from a role player to more of a prominent player. These guys had to go from not even on the roster to a prominent player.

There’s no question that was challenging.”

Guard Frank Rossi was listed on the varsity roster last season, but saw limited action.

Guard Dolan Tierney and guard/forward Yegor Gorbenko didn’t see any varsity action.

Now seniors, all three have been a major part of the team’s success this season.

“The change of roles from going to a starter from a complete end-of-the-bench player made me more hungry as a player and made me want to come out this season and give it my all because we’ve only got one year,” Rossi said. “You might as well, right? That’s what we all came out here to do.”

Another senior, guard Isaiah Patrick, saw some varsity time a year ago, but won’t play this season because of a torn ACL in his left knee. He’s remains with the Timberwolves in a mentor/coach role, and downplays the team’s

fast start in league play.

“Considering the past five or six teams have all done it, there’s no reason that we should expect different from us,” he said. “Nothing against any other team, but we should expect to go undefeated in league. That’s just what our program produces. We should expect, not perfection, but we should definitely expect greatness.”

Saufferer leads the team in scoring at 14.0 points per game. Although he saw varsity time last season, he’s still adjusting to his new role.

“I think we still have a lot of room for improvement,” Saufferer said. “I don’t think we’ve peaked yet. We’ve played some good games, but we need to clean up our play. I think that will happen within the course of this season. It starts with practice and we come in every day ready to work.”

The other coaches in the league voted Jackson third in the preseason coaches’ poll.

The 0-2 start to the season made that prediction look kind, but the Timberwolves never lost faith in themselves — and never paid any attention to the polls.

“We knew nothing about that and, frankly, we don’t care,” Saufferer said. “We’re coming in here to play our game with each other.

We’re a family — on and off the court. We’re just trying to do what we can do best. We don’t really care what anyone else thinks. We just care (about) what we can do and what we’re capable of.”

Johnson said he expects his team to have a target on its back the second half of the season.

“Sort of another step in their progression is how they can handle success,” Johnson said.

“It’s nice to have a program that can quickly turn it around after losing such a great group of guys and be competitive. I can see why it’s newsworthy, but by the same token, handling success and trying to beat teams the second time we play them and the third time we play them is kind of a whole different deal.”

Each year brings new challenges and experiences, Johnson said, but he said he relishes coaching this group, just as he did those that came before.

“I really do believe that high school sports are about developing kids and leaders,” Johnson said. “Having some of these kids stepping into a leadership role and trying to give them some tools and some structure and letting them kind of understand that they can become leaders and they can become good role models for others, that’s been, so far at this midway point, really rewarding.”

four weeks as he recovers from knee surgery.

Washington (14-5, 3-4 in Pac-12) is down to just nine scholarship players — Jarreau included — and its only available players taller than 6-foot-7 are starting forward Shawn Kemp Jr., who is 6-foot-9, and seldom-used reserve center Gilles Dierickx, who is 7-foot.

And Upshaw’s skills are irreplaceable. He was the best shot-blocker in UW’s history, and his presence in the paint changed how opponents attacked the Huskies’ defense, which improved significantly this season.

UW ranks eighth nationally in field-goal percentage defense at 36.5, and Upshaw is the primary reason. He set the school’s single-season blocks record in his 16th game, and finishes the season with 84 blocks in 19 games — a nation-leading average of 4.4, nearly a full block per game better than the next player on the list.

Upshaw also averaged 10.9 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, and is projected by some NBA draft analysts as a potential firstround pick.

Yet as sudden as his dismissal was, it’s not the first time Upshaw has found himself in trouble. The Fresno, California, native originally chose to stay home and play for Fresno State, where he lasted only one season before being dismissed for multiple violations of athletic department policy.

He later transferred to Washington, where NCAA rules required that he redshirt during the 2013-14 season. But during the final several weeks of the season, when he wasn’t seen on the bench during games, it was revealed that Upshaw hadn’t been practicing with the team while dealing with what Romar would describe only as off-court issues.

Romar said at the time that he was unsure if Upshaw would be able to play in 2014-15.

“This is a situation,” Romar said in April, “(where) before you can get on the court, whether it’s here or somewhere else, you just have to take care of your business away from the court.”

An ESPN report on Monday indicated that Upshaw battled drug problems while at Fresno State, and a Yahoo Sports story written earlier this season noted that he spent time at John Lucas’ Houston-based treatment program after leaving Fresno.

But once practices began for the 2014-15 season, Upshaw was a full participant with the Huskies, and had coaches and teammates raving about the impact he could make on the court.

Romar saw personal improvements, too, noting that Upshaw had made “huge strides” since last year.

“He’s not the same person or player,” Romar said on Dec. 27. “So he’s come quite a ways.”

Upshaw said in mid-November, prior to UW’s season opener, that he felt he matured during his year off.

“I think the time that I took off at the end of the season was to really mature and get myself better and get ready for the next year, and coach Romar really helped me on that,” Upshaw said. “So toward the end of the year when it was time for me to jump back into things, start working out with the team, doing those things, I just really bought in.

“I left all the frustrations, the disappointments, all the letdowns that I had been through and what I went through at Fresno State. I let it go in the summertime, and I really bought into my team.”

Now, he can only watch as the Huskies navigate the rest of their seemingly ill-fated season without him.

Jackson looks to bounce back

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Familiarity can also breed contentment.

That’s Austin Jackson’s view as he prepares for his first full season with the Mariners after two disappointing months last year following his July 31 arrival.

Jackson batted just .229 in 54 games after the Mariners acquired him from Detroit in a three-way trade on July 31 that sent infielder Nick Franklin to Tampa Bay. Throw in a .267 on-base percentage and a .260 slugging percentage and — let’s face it — Jackson was an absolute flop in terms of providing the spark the Mariners anticipated at the top of their lineup.

So what happened?

“A lot of things,” he said between FanFest appearances at Safeco Field on Sunday. “Not making excuses, but I think getting traded and trying to get used to the (longer) travel and the sleep — those things affect your play on the field.

“When you’re going from an hour (flight) to a losing three hours; that kind of plays with your sleep schedule.

Trying to get used to a different team and all that, I had a lot of distractions, I think, that crept into my head a little bit.

“Hopefully, getting started here and staying here, those distractions won’t be there.”

But it was more than that.

“Offensively,” manager Lloyd McClendon said, “he’s doing some things mechanically that we need to clean up.

It’s nothing major. We’ll work on that in spring training.”

Jackson acknowledges McClendon knows his swing as well as anybody from their time together in Detroit, where McClendon served as hitting coach before getting hired prior to last season by the Mariners.

“My first four years being with Lloyd,” Jackson said, “he was able to iron out some of the problems I had in my swing — he knew the key things we can go back to, to get me locked back in. I didn’t have that last year.

“It was kind of tough to make adjustments on the fly. ... Last year, I would try to find it, but I think I created some bad habits, and it was kind of tough to get out of them.

“This off-season, I tried to work on those things as much as I can. Hopefully, when

A goaltender in Seattle has decided to hang up his skates.

Danny Mumaugh, who spent the past three seasons with the Thunderbirds, chose to end his WHL career, the team announced Monday.

Mumaugh, an 18-year-old from Centennial, Colorado, was in his third season as Seattle’s primary No. 2 goaltender, backing up Brandon Glover in 2012-13 and Taran Kozun the past two seasons. He ended up appearing in 61 games with the T-birds, going 18-21-4-4 with a 3.76 goals against average, .887 save percentage and one shutout.

This season Mumaugh saw little game action as the T-birds have leaned heavily upon the overage Kozun.

He was 2-4 with a 4.18 goals against average and .858 save percentage in eight games before announcing his retirement.

To replace Mumaugh the T-birds called up 17-year-old Logan Flodell for the remainder of the season. Flodell, who

made one start for Seattle at the beginning of the season, had been playing with the Nipawin Hawks of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Around the WHL Kootenay has a new all-time leading scorer as 19-year-old forward Sam Reinhart surpassed the previous Ice franchise record of 287 points set by Jarret Stoll. ... Portland has lost defenseman Nick Heid for the remainder of the season. The 17-year-old elected to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his shoulder. ... Moose Jaw fired its assistant general manager and head scout, Rob MacLachlan, who had been the team’s head scout for 10 years. ... Kelowna’s Tyrell Goulbourne was named the WHL Player of the Week. The 20-year-old forward had three goals and four assists as the Rockets went 2-0, both victories coming against the Everett Silvertips.

spring training starts, we can get some good work in.”

That work, in one area, is already under way. Jackson wore down last season in the closing weeks, which prompted a revamped offseason conditioning program.

“I think it will be a little better this year,” he said. “I was able to put a little weight on and get some strength back.

Hopefully, I can maintain that throughout the season.”

Jackson’s time in Detroit suggests his two-month struggle after joining the Mariners was an anomaly; he posted a .277/.342/.413 slash over fourplus seasons with the Tigers.

The Mariners would take similar production this season in a heartbeat.

“Two years ago,” McClendon said, “Austin Jackson was probably the fifth-best center fielder in all of baseball. He struggled a little bit last year.

That goes to show you that he’s human.

“He made a transition from the Tigers to the Mariners, and it was a tough transition. I suspect this young man will be pretty good for us. I think he’s settled in. He’s happy to be here.”

Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — Maria Sharapova moved closer to another Australian Open title, set to face a fellow Russian in the semifinals who has never beaten her.

Sharapova made all the big points look easy Tuesday in defeating 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-2 — her fourth consecutive win over the Canadian — and advance to a semifinal against Ekaterina Makarova, who earlier beat third-seeded Simona Halep 6-4, 6-0.

Rafael Nadal is out of the Australian Open, beaten 6-2, 6-0, 7-6 (5) in the men’s quarterfinals by seventhseeded Tomas Berdych.

The third-seeded Nadal, a 14-time Grand Slam singles champion, said before the tournament began that his lack of match fitness due to injuries and illness in the last half of 2014 made him unlikely to win more than a few rounds in the tournament.

Summons No. 12-3-03210-8 Summons by Publication (SMPB) Superior Court of Washington County of Snohomish

In re: Syed Khalid Mohiuddin

and Katherine Miller

Chavez, Gutierrez sign The Mariners made it official Monday: veteran outfielders Endy Chavez and Franklin Gutierrez are returning to the club on minorleague contracts that include invitations to big-league camp.

Chavez, 36, is a 13-year veteran who split the last two seasons with the Mariners and Triple-A Tacoma. He batted .276 last year in 80 big-league games with two homers and 23 RBIs. Gutierrez, 31, played five years for the Mariners from 2009-13 before missing all of last season because of severe gastrointestinal issues. That illness and other injuries limited him to 173 games from 2011-13.

Pitchers and catchers report for spring training on Feb. 20 at the Mariners’ year-round complex in Peoria, Ariz. The first fullsquad workout is Feb. 25.

course, but McClendon is tentatively planning to insert his projected right-field platoon of Seth Smith and Justin Ruggiano into the No. 2 slot in the batting order.

That would place the Smith/ Ruggiano tandem behind Jackson and in front of the All-Star trio of Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager.

The Mariners ranked 30th (i.e., last) among all clubs last season in on-base percentage from their No. 2 hitters at .260. No other club was lower than .279.

Smith had a .367 OBP last season in 136 games for San Diego, while Ruggiano had a .337 OBP in 81 games for the Chicago Cubs.

Petitioner,

Respondent.

To the Respondent: Katherine Diane Miller 1. The petitioner has started an action in the above court re- questing: that your marriage or domestic partnership be dis- solved.

2. The petition also requests that the court grant the following re- lief: Dispose of property and liabilities.

The last time Sharapova and Bouchard met — in the semifinals at the French Open last year — Bouchard won the first set before Sharapova came back to take the next two. The Russian then won the title at Roland Garros.

This time, Bouchard, who made the finals of Wimbledon and two other Grand Slam semis last year, didn’t come close to taking a set, looking flat from the outset while being broken in her opening service game.

The Genie Army, a group of young Australian men who croon about the Canadian player, was left to sing another day.

Bouchard had 30 unforced errors and had her service broken four times.

“She didn’t give me many chances, and against the great players you have to take any chances you can get,” Bouchard said. If you don’t have time, you have to go for riskier shots, and I made a few too many unforced errors because I was under pressure.”

Summons 3. You must respond to this summons by serving a copy of your written response on the person signing this summons and by filing the original with the clerk of the court. If you do not serve your written response within 60 days after the date of the first publication of this summons (60 days after the 13th day of January, 2015), the cour t may enter an order of default against you, and the court may, without further notice to you, enter a decree and approve or provide for other relief request- ed in this summons. In the case of a dissolution, the court will not enter the final decree until at least 90 days after service and filing. If you serve a notice of appearance on the under- signed person, you are entitled to notice before an order of default or a decree may be entered.

4. Your written response to the summons and petition must be on form WPF DR 01.0300, Response to Petition (Marriage).

Information about how to get this form may be obtained by contacting the clerk of the court, or by contacting the Adminis- trative Office of the Courts at (360) 705-5328, or from the In- ternet at the Washington State Courts homepage: http://www.courts.wa.gov/forms 5. If you wish to seek the advice of an attorney in this matter, you should do so promptly so that your written response, if any, may be served on time.

6. One method of serving a copy of your response on the peti- tioner is to send it by certified mail with return receipt request- ed.

Sounders to play on same surface

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

The Seattle Sounders apparently will play one more season on the existing FieldTurf at CenturyLink Field.

The only available replacement period — between the Seattle Seahawks’ final home game and the start of the Sounders’ season in March — has arrived, but there are no plans in place for a new surface, sources confirmed.

However, the Sounders are believed to be negotiating a lease extension with

Meet the Pill that Disintegrates Fat Cells …While You Sit Still.

Shred360™ originally shook up the fitness industry because of the way it DOUBLES your fat-burning potential and made fitness models “camera ready” in dramatically less time.

Shred360™ allows ANYONE, not just fitness professionals, to LOSE INTENSE AMOUNTS OF FAT — without grueling workouts or tasteless diet foods. It works by first breaking apart, then disintegrating your stubborn fat cells – so you drop pounds and inches even while you SLEEP! And best of all, Shred360™ was just released to the general public. That means you can experience unprecedented weight loss too.

• Fool your body into BURNING Stored FAT through Thermogenesis and lipolysis

Let’s be honest. For most of us, the absolute ease of losing fat with Shred360™ is much more important than the science of “how it works”. As one Wall Street Investor put it, “By using Shred360™ - you can eat like a normal person, skip the gym, and lose the fat you want while you sleep – so who in their right mind would ever use a company like Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers? The answer, clearly, is no one.”

• Fool your body into feeling full – the ultimate appetite suppressant • Enable your body to PRESERVE Lean, Healthy MUSCLE • Increase energy and mental clarity almost immediately – guaranteed And unlike highly ineffective, slickly marketed “diet supplements” (that are usually glorified caffeine pills) – Shred360™ (originally formulated for top athletes) will: • NEVER make you jittery • NEVER make your heart race • NEVER leave you feeling hungry Shred360™’s formula includes well documented Green Tea, Vitamins B6 & B12, Green Coffee and Raspberry Ketones, among others. Together, they are unconditionally guaranteed to make every surplus bit of your unwanted fat disappear - effortlessly without starvation diets and painful exercise… while at the same time preserving the lean healthy muscle that your body needs.

Fitness Professionals Praise The Fat Burning Power of Shred360™ “Shred360™ Is the Best of the Best. In all my years of being a Fitness Professional, I’ve never recommended a fat-burner because almost all fat burners fall short… but I was so impressed with the science, the ingredients, AND the personal

case publicly.

Solo was ordered to refrain from drinking alcohol last June after she was arrested on domestic violence charges at her sister’s home in Kirkland, Washington.

The charge was dropped this month.

Speaking on a conference call with U.S. coach Jill Ellis, Gulati said he had to speak carefully because of the involvement of “healthrelated issues.”

Asked whether Solo had been asked to undergo alcohol counseling, Gulati said “I think neither of us denied or confirmed that.”

Goalkeeper Hope Solo faces the possibility of being left off the American roster for this year’s Women’s World Cup if she fails to complete tasks set for her by the U.S. Soccer Federation, which may include alcohol counseling.

The 33-year-old was suspended for 30 days last Wednesday for what the U.S. Soccer Federation called “an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp” in Carson, California.

Asked whether she could be omitted from the team’s

World Cup roster, USSF President Sunil Gulati said Monday: “Look, that’s possible. We hope that’s not the case. We hope she’s making progress and joins the team.

That’s certainly the goal, hers and ours.”

Jerramy Stevens, Solo’s husband, was driving a team vehicle when he was arrested last week on suspicion of driving under the influence, a person familiar with the details of the arrest told The Associated Press last week.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because they could not discuss the

No more tasteless “diet frozen meals”, no more prepackaged “food”, no more time consuming trips to the gym, and no more clubs to join - PLUS Shred360™ nearly doubles your metabolism and burns fat while you SLEEP – making it the most important breakthrough in weight loss history… and that has mainstream companies worried…

Produced Under Highly Controlled Environmental Conditions In Small Batches, So Supplies Are Very Limited Shred360™ was originally developed for Top Fitness Professionals (a very small market) and was never meant to be the all-around fat burner that it, thankfully, turned out to be. Because of this, Shred360™ is produced under highly controlled conditions, in one of America’s Top Certified Supplement manufacturing facilities, in very small batches… making supplies quite limited. This production method guarantees that Shred360™ is always pure, always safe, and always effective. Shred360™ truly is a “Professional Grade” supplement.
