A stunned Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin reacts to an interception by New England late in Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday in Glendale, Arizona, sealing the Patriots’ 28-24 win. The pick at New England’s goal line, after a play call by the Seattle coaching staff that surely will be hashed over by local sports fans for years to come, destroyed the Seahawks’ hopes of repeating as NFL champions.

YMCA hopes new facilities spur a resurgence

By Chris Winters Herald Writer

EVERETT — The YMCA of Snohomish County is at a critical point in its 100-year history.

That’s the message of the organization’s leaders as they lay out

their three-year development plan.

The YMCA expects to break ground on a new branch in Stanwood later this summer, and it’s shopping around for a new location for its central Everett facility.

Building new facilities is all in service of the YMCA’s greater goal of remaining relevant.

“For families and for seniors and for kids and teens, I think the Y is really the primary the place to look to for a welcoming environment,” said Scott Washburn,

CEO and president of the local organization.

The YMCA has faced challenges recently with falling membership, especially at the Everett branch.

At its peak at the end of 2008, the Everett branch had 5,300 members. That has fallen to 3,600 members this year.

The YMCA attributes that partly to the recession, which forced people to cut back on their spending, including YMCA memberships.

The YMCA also faces some

competition from the burgeoning private-gym industry, where baseline membership costs are often in the range of $20-$30 per month.

Youth membership at the YMCA costs $24 per month, while young adults pay $39 and adults $59 per month. But the YMCA offers a much wider variety of services than a standalone gym, Washburn said.

Instead, the biggest potential boon for membership is upgrading or replacing the Everett

“Simply replacing this facility with a new modern accessible facility, we’d increase our membership two or three times our current membership,” Washburn said.

The old Everett Y has seen better days. The oldest part of the facility is nearly 100 years old, with additions built in the 1960s and 1980s.

Technology, Elliott boost Perry’s halftime show

By Mesfin Fekadu Associated Press

Katy Perry roared loud, possibly because there was a jungle behind her.

Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show Sunday, with its eyepopping, colorful visual effects, illusions and lights was a success mainly because of others — including the energetic Missy Elliott.

Did Perry even break a sweat?

The pop star kicked off the performance atop a robotic tiger, her outfit — one of four — covered in a flame design some likened to Will Ferrell’s skater outfit in “Blades of Glory.” She seemed ready to take the big stage, her voice strong over what sounded like a pre-recorded track.

The stage turned to a futuristic vibe for the Southern, electroflavored “Dark Horse” and into a beach complete with dancing sharks and surfboards and bobbing beach balls for “Teenage Dream” and “California Gurls.” It came off like a music video.

Perry relied too much on spectacle rather than her own talent. That was evident when Lenny Kravitz joined her for a rock-filled version of “I Kissed a Girl,” in which he was the highlight, shining on the guitar.

But the 12-minute performance turned into “The Missy Elliott Show” when the reclusive rapper hit the stage as the beginning beat of “Get Ur Freak On” blasted. A decade later, the song still sounded like a hit as Elliott rapped like a veteran.

Perry joined Elliott, attempting to dance beside her but coming off like a student lost in choreography class. She nicely rocked an oversize jersey, but

had zero swag. Elliott went on to the steal the thunder with performances of “Work It” and “Lose Control.”

Perry ended her set in a shimmery gown, as she rose in the air and slowed it down for the inspirational “Firework” as, appropriately, fireworks burst.

That wasn’t the only fiery moment: Before the game began, “Frozen” star Idina Menzel belted out an outstanding live rendition of the national anthem ahead of the big game in

Glendale, Arizona.

Menzel was confident in allblack, singing what she assured would be live days before Super Bowl. After she sang the last note, she yelled in excitement: “Yes!” “I didn’t want to rush,” Menzel said in an interview after the performance. “I wanted to take in the moment and connect to the song that I was singing, not get swept away by all the grandiosity and excitement, and connect.

And sing from my heart.”

The performance comes a month after the Tony-winning star was criticized for her performance of “Let It Go” during “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.” At one point the crowd booed loudly, but it was because Patriots Coach Bill Belichick was shown on screen.

Asked if she was distracted by the booing, Menzel said: “I knew better. I knew I hit the note well, I wasn’t worried it was me.”

“And they warn you,” she added, laughing.

John Legend, in typical form, brought the soul when he sang “America the Beautiful.” He hit all the right notes while playing piano before the Seattle Seahawks took on the New England Patriots.

Kravitz said he was grateful for Perry’s call to join her onstage.

“This wasn’t my thing. She asked me to come and perform with her and I said, ‘Yes’ and it ended up being a really great experience,” he said in an interview.

Super Bowl ads feature some hits — and jarring misses

By Candice Choi and Mae Anderson

was trying to boost the image of cruises with its first ever Super Bowl ad after several years of bad publicity from illnesses on ships and the Costa Concordia wreck in 2012.

And Coca-Cola’s ad called for positivity in in the face of online negativity.

The company’s “Make It Happy” ad was an update on its long-running strategy of getting people to associate its soft drinks with happiness at a time when people increasingly see them as unhealthy.

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Super Bowl advertisers on Sunday night sought to win over viewers in a variety of ways.

McDonald’s called for loving, Coke demanded more positivity, and Nationwide told the story of a dead boy.

Here’s a look the big game’s ad highlights.

Jarring ads Nationwide insurance company’s ad showed a boy riding a school bus and lamenting he’ll never learn to fly, or travel the world with my best friend, or even grow up, because he died in an accident. The ad for Nationwide was aimed at stopping preventable childhood accidents.

But the ad was so jarring it became the butt of jokes on social media.

Nissan, meanwhile, returned to the Super Bowl after 18 years with an ad featuring the story line of an up-and-coming race driver and his wife struggling to balance work and raising their son.

Some fans noted the ad was set to “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, who was killed in a car crash.

Voiceovers were big

AssociAteD Press

the Super Bowl ad by automaker nissan, featuring the story line of an up-and-coming race driver and his wife struggling to balance work and raising their son, was set to “Cats in the Cradle” by harry Chapin — who was killed in a car crash.

Trying to improve brand image Some companies had a lot to prove — and it showed in their ads.

McDonald’s returned to the Super Bowl with an ad for its latest promotion, which will let randomly selected customers pay for their orders with acts of love, like a high-five, fist bump or a call to a relative. The promotion starts Monday and runs through Feb. 14 The McDonald’s ad was an

extension of the company’s recently launched campaign seeking to associate its brand with the positive emotion of loving as it fights to hold onto customers amid intensifying competition.

According to the contest rules posted online, McDonald’s says each participating restaurant will select 100 winners over the course of the contest.

Carnival’s ad included a voiceover by John F. Kennedy speaking about the sea. The world’s largest cruise company

Toyota’s first ad starred Paralympic medalist Amy Purdy snowboarding and dancing, set to a speech by Muhammad Ali that ends with: “I’ll show you how great I am.”

A Microsoft ad with a voiceover by rapper Common told the story of Braylon O’Neill, a boy who was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs, so he had to learn to live with prosthetic legs developed by the company.

And of course, there was Carnival’s audio clip of JFK.

Puppy love ... again Budweiser’s “Lost Puppy” ad was a winner before it even aired during the Super Bowl. The ad, which shows a puppy running away to find his Clydesdale

buddies, already had 18 million views on YouTube ahead of the game.

It’s a tried-and-true formula.

Last year, Budweiser broke records with its Super Bowl spot, “Puppy Love,” which was a Top 10 branded content video and Top 10 video overall on YouTube.

Pre-game score Chevrolet’s ad “Blackout” appeared to be a live game feed that turned into static and a blank screen. The company used the trick to show its Colorado truck has 4G LTE Wi Fi, so people could stream the game live in the truck. The spot was an early star of the ad game: It came just before kickoff.

Lots of first-timers There were 15 new Super Bowl advertisers this year, the most since 2000, before the economy fell into what would be the first of two recessions. Advertising experts say the rookie interest in Super Bowl ads is a positive sign companies are feeling good in the most recent economic recovery. The newcomers included Skittles and Carnival.

In its ad, first-timer Wix.com showed retired NFL players opening fictional businesses; Terrell Owens starts a pie company, and Brett Favre starts charcuterie business, Favre and Carve.

space don’t get utilized well.

There isn’t an elevator, so the upper stories are inaccessible to people with disabilities. Most of the rooms that once were residences in the 1920s-era building are now used as storage space.

There are eight racquetball courts, for example, a lot for a sport that peaked in the 1980s, Washburn said. Several have been converted to other uses, such as a cycling studio, a squash court and a walleyball court.

“Everett is currently our

smallest membership base in our largest facility,” Washburn said.

Compared with Everett’s membership of 3,600, the Mill Creek YMCA has 7,800 members, Mukilteo has 6,700, Marysville has 6,500 and Monroe has 5,600.

Paid memberships are the YMCA’s largest source of revenue.

Other money comes in from child care services the club runs at local schools, adult classes and other fee-based programs.

Washburn said that when the Stanwood-Camano YMCA is built, he expects it will have a large membership because it will serve

all of north Snohomish County.

So far, the YMCA has raised $8.4 million for the StanwoodCamano branch, mostly from major donors that were solicited directly.

The organization is now reaching out to a wider net of corporate and philanthropic donors to get up to $12 million. The balance of the $18 million would be picked up by a combination of the YMCA’s own resources and lowinterest borrowing, Washburn said.

Replacing the Everett facility is estimated to cost between $22

million and $25 million, he said.

The YMCA is considering three options for the Everett branch.

The first is to renovated its existing location. The others include buying and renovating another building: the Everett School District building at 4730 Colby Ave., or the Everett Post Office building at 3102 Hoyt.

Washburn said the YMCA would decide on a new location in six to nine months.

Scott Forslund, the chairman of the YMCA and self-styled “chief volunteer officer,” said the challenge in the coming capital

campaigns for Everett and Stanwood-Camano is also to “not shoot too low,” he said.

“This is a 100-year inflection point in the Y’s history,” said Forslund, who is also the executive director of the Providence Institute for a Healthier Community.

“Long after we’re gone there will be a facility and community that will benefit, or experience gaps, as a result of the decisions we’ve made,” he said.

Local Hawks fans shocked, sad

By Rikki King Herald Writer

EVERETT — Deafening whistles and resounding chants of “Sea!” “Hawks!” turned to gasps and heads shaking in disbelief during the final few minutes of the Super Bowl, shown live Sunday at the

Historic Everett Theatre.

After the game, the crowd that had filled the rows poured out onto Colby Avenue with utterances of “Bummer, huh?” and “I want to cry.”

Alex Soltman, a freshman at Granite Falls High School, and Stephanie Fosse, a sophomore from Lake Stevens, said they still

were in shock about that last play.

“Should have had that win,” she said.

“How did we not get that?” he said.

They headed toward home with Alex’ dad, Michael Soltman.

“I’m going to cry in a corner,” Alex said.

Lisa Parker, 51, of Gold Bar, and her family watched last year’s Super Bowl, a Seahawk win, at the theater, she said. It was a sad outcome this year, but still a great game, she said.

“We thought we had it,” she said.

EVERETT — An effort to preserve local history is under way around Snohomish County.

The historical societies of Monroe and Granite Fallsare among the groups that

are digitizing old newspapers into searchable archives and making them available online.

“It’s become the thing to do around here,” said Chris Bee, a Monroe volunteer.

Bee has been working since 2012 to get some 30,000 pages of old Monroe newspapers online.

She estimates the project will cost $50,000.

The historical society has copies of most of the city’s newspapers from 1899 to today. Copies of the Monroe Monitor are saved as they hit the newsstand. People have donated older newspapers from

A local teen’s experience Nicole Bagby of Everett was among last summer’s Snohomish County Ecology Youth Corps crew.

Bagby was finishing her eighthgrade year at Voyager Middle School when her grandmother showed her the newspaper, which had a notice about the summer job. She applied and was accepted.

The job wasn’t easy — but it was rewarding.

“It’s hot in the summer, and you’re in jeans and boots. You’re constantly squatting, so your legs and back hurt. But to see how much you picked up ... and look back and see all you’ve done, it’s pretty cool,” she said.

Each person on her team would pick up litter for a roughly one-tenth mile stretch of roadway, sometimes filling four large garbage bags. They would separate recyclables from garbage.

Safety was a big deal, she said.

When out in the field, they had to wear hard hats, gloves, glasses, reflective vests and boots. Staying hydrated was stressed.

What did they find?

“Omigosh, so many disgusting things,” she said. “I was honestly scared sometimes — not because of the cars, but because of the bugs and the snakes. I’ve never seen so many dead birds.”

s we were driving down the interstate the other day, a plastic bag flew out of a truck bed. It ballooned and bobbed through the air like a nonchalant little ghost over the roofs of speeding vehicles.

From the back seat, I heard my 7-year-old gasp. “Pollution!”

These dark, cold days have us seeing more and more litter on roadsides, when most organized clean-up programs are on a seasonal break.

Joyce Lewis of Camano Island recently drove to Portland, Oregon, and was shocked by the amount of debris along the way.

“I don’t remember it ever being so unsightly,” she said.

“There were even stretches where the plastic bags hanging in the trees had started to tear and disintegrate.”

More than 12 million pounds of litter are tossed or blown onto state roads each year, according to the Department of Ecology.

As the weather warms, preparations are underway to start picking up the pace of picking it all up.

Teenagers age 14-17 interested in a summer job with the Ecology Youth Corps can now apply.

There are fewer positions available because of dwindling dollars. But the young litter-bug busters can still put an awful big dent in the problem. Last year’s youth corps of 228 teens picked up 501,275 pounds of litter from 3,051 miles of roadways and 17 illegal dump sites.

Mountain View earns 5-star rating for performance care individual nursing homes are offering and presents that information in an easy-to-understand one- to five-star rating scale with five being the pinnacle of achievement.

That’s why Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care Center’s administrator, Brandon Bodily, is so thrilled with their five-star rating. It doesn’t get any better than that.

“We purchased the facility in July of 2013,” Bodily said. “With new ownership and management in place, we started to look at where we could make improvements. While the facility had already a four-star rating from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, we were looking to take it to the next level and provide the best care possible.”

Bodily was the right person to help guide Mountain View to this goal. He had already led previous facilities to the five-star level as well as to national awards for caring and excellence. Bodily and his team identified areas of focus and went to work.

They made changes to the way they provided services to the residents by including staffing changes with a focus of having more registered nurses, building a diversified therapy team and increasing the number

and quality of the therapy equipment at the facility.

The results of the changes were noticed almost immediately. There have been two annual surveys since the acquisition of the facility in 2013

and the team performed well in both cases culminating in the coveted rating.

Excellence can also been seen in the number of citations received during these surveys.

The average number of citations in Washington state is eight per survey.

Mountain View had a combined total of just six citations for their two years of surveys together.

Bodily said, “I am very

proud of the way the team takes care of our residents and the results we have received from the surveys. This reflects the high quality of care that we provide the residents at Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care Center.”

Bodily says the families of all Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care Center residents are being notified of the nursing facility’s top five-star rating.

It is an announcement he is proud to make on behalf of all of Mountain View’s staff.

The rating is the first of many great things to come in 2015 for Mountain View, Bodily said.

They have been planning a remodel of the facility to match the high quality of care that one would receive at there.

They are also planning on building a 49,000 sq. ft., 88-bed assisted living facility on the property directly adjacent to the Skilled Nursing Facility.

Of these, 18 beds will be dedicated to memory care and the other 70 for assisted living. The management team and state are now finalizing their plans and anticipate starting on construction mid-2015.

hoosing a nursing facility for yourself or a loved one for either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care can be one of the most difficult decisions a family can face. Yet the time to select a home away from home will come for many Snohomish County families in 2015.

When that time comes, families need to give the utmost consideration to quality of care, staff and services when making that all important decision.

In the north Everett and Marysville community, many families who have done their research are now choosing Mountain View Rehabilitation & Care for their own or their loved one’s stay.

This is because Mountain View has earned the prestigious five-star rating from the Federal Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services for their overall performance in health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of medical care.

These ratings, and others, can be found at medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare, an excellent resource for families that want to make sure their loved ones will have top quality care and compassion during their stay.

digitizing papers from 1899 to 1979. Bee and another volunteer, Gary Brooks, log hundreds of hours working on the project each year.

“We think it’s important to preserve our local history,” Bee said. “I personally feel this is the most important service we provide.”

The historical society in Granite Falls has been working on digitizing records for about 10 years, volunteer Fred Cruger said.

It took hundreds of hours to scan in photos and documents. Special software allows the society to digitize old maps and georeference them by overlaying the maps onto current property lines and aerial photos.

After processing the photos and maps, the society found itself with thousands of newspapers, “all turning brittle in their inevitable march toward a destiny of fire-starter or mousenest,” according to Cruger.

The organization sent its papers to be processed by Small Town Papers, a company that specializes in creating searchable digital databases out of old print products. It’s the same company the Monroe society and other Snohomish County groups are using.

“It takes old maps and newspapers and transforms them from basically waste paper into something that’s searchable and really useful,” Cruger said.

Now, the society is using the information to create cyber-tours, where people can get historical photos and information on their mobile device while walking around the same sites today.

There are currently tours for Granite Falls, the Mountain Loop Highway, Snohomish and aviation highlights in Everett and Arlington.

The newspapers from Monroe and Granite Falls are searchable online by names, dates and keywords.

Monroe’s newspapers are available at mhs.stparchive.com and Granite Falls’ can be found at gfp. stparchive.com.

“We’ve found this extremely helpful with our work at the museum,” Bee said.

In addition to making the content available online, Small Town Papers sends an external hard drive with the page files on it.

Both Monroe and Granite Falls have received Snohomish County Community Heritage Preservation grants to help with their projects. In 2014, Monroe got $6,000 from the county and spent another $8,000 of the historical society’s money. The group hopes to get more resources to digitize recent papers, from the 1980s to the present.

The county has awarded a total of $92,419 in heritage grants in the last two years. Of that, $30,075 went toward newspaper digitization projects.

Other historical groups in Snohomish County are working on similar efforts

or hope to start one soon.

The Marysville Historical Society has completed digitization of its newspapers from 1891 to 1911 but they are not yet available online, said Karen Burkhart, a volunteer board member.

“Beyond that, we’re working as time and money permits,” she said.

The group is currently funneling resources into moving the museum to a new building on Armar Road near Jennings Park. In the future, she said, preserving the decaying historical newspapers and making them available online may become more of a priority.

The Stillaguamish Valley Genealogical Society also hopes to digitize some of its records, but doesn’t yet have enough time, money or people to handle the work, spokeswoman Karen Stroschein said.

“We’ve got the idea of doing it in our mind, just not the workforce to do it,” she said. “It’s not for lack of necessity, it’s just lack of spare (volunteers) to throw at the project.”

The society has been busy promoting its Northwest Genealogy Conference, months in advance of the August event that draws hundreds of people from around the country.

The conference is about sharing research, ideas and resources, Stroschein said.

Getting records online is another important way to accomplish that mission.

SNOHOMISH — Detectives were investigating a shooting Sunday night in Snohomish.

The incident was reported at 7:27 p.m. along Lincoln Avenue, near First Street, Snohomish County sheriff’s Lt. Scott Parker said.

Investigators were told the homeowner was shot after interrupting a burglary, Parker said. The victim was taken to a local hospital. The extent of his injuries wasn’t disclosed.

As of 8:30 p.m., the search for a suspect continued. No other

farm chores?

A: A lot of landscaping. We have about three acres around the house.

I help a lot with that. We have some cows, too.

Q: Did you make any goals for senior year?

A: This is a big year for me. I came in behind in credits, so I just told myself this is the year I come to school every day, get As and Bs and just catch up, and ask a lot of questions of my teachers so I can get as much advice as possible for my college (plans).

Q: Are you meeting that goal?

A: Yes, I was on the Honor Roll this past quarter. That was a huge accomplishment for me because I’ve never received an award like that in my school career.

I kept my GPA over 3.0, so As and Bs. Q: What are some of your goals for life after high school?

A: I want to be happy because I know that’s tough to do. I want to push myself to the best of my ability and just continue to go as far as possible in life. I have a lot of dreams. I want to go to college. I’d like to one day just have a family and be happy. I don’t want money to be an issue. I just want to work hard enough to make enough for my family and have a nice home.

Q: What is your escape from the stress of classes?

A: Just having conversations with my dad (Rafael Avalos). My dad is a huge mentor of mine.

Q: Do you feel like you have to be a role model for your younger siblings?

A: That’s also a big reason why I work so hard at school, to show my sister, who’s in sixth grade right now, that she

“Sad, man. That was sad,” said Laura Muai, 55, who came with Parker and nieces, Samantha and Erin Carbajal.

A relative snagged them all tickets to watch the Hawks at the NFC Championship game just a few weeks ago.

“You can tell we screamed our fool heads off,” Parker said.

“It was amazing,” Muai said. “We’ve always got the fans, and we’ve got family.”

Laurie Stoopes, 65, of Tulalip, has been a Hawks fan “forever,” she said.

can also make it through high school. I do this for myself but I also do it for my siblings. My first semester freshman year I failed all of my classes. I just treated school like it was nothing.

Q: What changed for you?

A: There was one day the counselor down at Stanwood (High School) called me to her office.

She told me how important credits were and how important it was to pass the exams. Since that day, it just gave me a spark. I haven’t failed a class since.

Q: Do you plan to return to Stanwood High?

You mentioned that the counselor said you could.

A: Ever since I came here (to Lincoln Hill), I’ve just received all the help and support I need.

This is where I see myself graduating in June.

Q: Did you do anything cool this past summer?

A: I actually got to go to Guadalajara, that’s in Mexico, to visit my grandparents. They’re that age, they’re kind of sick, so it was a blessing to see them another year.

That was the first time I’ve gone since 2010.

Q: Is there anything else you want people to know about you?

A: I’m really quiet here at school. I’ve always been like that, my whole life, just really shy, but I’ve always tried to be helpful if someone asks for help. A lot of the Hispanic kids here, and in middle school, I’ve always been a help to them, if they need help with homework. I always offer my time to them. I’m the same way at home, just quiet.

Q: Do you speak Spanish?

A: I do.

Q: What are you looking forward to next?

A: Graduating is just going to be a huge relief, but I know there’s so much more to go. I can’t wait for that day. My family’s going to be so proud.

Veronica Calhoun, 9, and Robert Calhoun, 5, took a break from the game to play catch with a football in the lobby.

Robert ran back and forth into the theater to check the score for his grandmother, Laura Shriner. Shriner pointed at the children as she gently shushed the folks who ran into the lobby with curse words at crucial moments. Robert practiced his kicking.

“I’m a Bears fan,” he said. “This is the only time I like the Seahawks.”

Veronica wore her Russell Wilson jersey and Hawks temporary tattoos on both cheeks.

“When I first learned football, he’s the one that I first knew,” she said.

Her grandmother teased her: “And he’s kind of cute, huh?”

Budget goes big on public works $478 billion for road, bridge and transit upgrades already is being criticized by Republicans in Congress. President Barack Obama will present his $4 trillion spending plan today.

By Jim Kuhnhenn and Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

WASHINGTON— The $4 trillion budget that President Barack Obama sends Congress on Monday proposes higher taxes on wealthier Americans and corporations, and an ambitious $478 billion public works program for highway, bridge and transit upgrades.

The grab-bag of proposals, many recycled from past Obama budgets, already is generating fierce objections from Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress for the first time in his presidency.

They will move ahead on their own, mindful they eventually must strike a deal with Obama, whose signature is needed for the budget to become law.

The spending blueprint for the 2016 budget year that begins Oct. 1 emphasizes the same themes as Obama’s State of the Union address last month, when he challenged Congress to work with him on narrowing the income gap between the very wealthy and everyone else.

In documents obtained by The Associated Press, Obama lays out the country’s first $4 trillion budget — $3.999 trillion before rounding — with proposed spending supported by $3.5 trillion in revenues.

The projected budget deficit would be $474 billion, slightly higher than the $467 billion forecast by the Congressional Budget Office for

2016. For the budget year that ended Sept. 30, the actual deficit was $483 billion. That was a marked improvement from the $1 trillion-plus deficits during Obama’s first years in office, when the country was struggling to emerge from a deep recession.

The CBO sees the deficits rising for the rest of the decade, once again topping $1 trillion by 2025 as spending surges in the government’s big benefit programs with the retirement of millions of baby boomers.

Obama’s budget does not make major changes in politically popular programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

Republicans are promising action in their budget plans.

Obama’s six-year public works program would provide upgrades for the nation’s highways, bridges and transit systems, in an effort to tap into bipartisan support for spending on badly needed repairs.

Half of that money would come from a one-time mandatory tax on profits that U.S. companies have amassed overseas, according to White House officials who spoke on condition of anonymity before the budget was released.

The tax on accumulated foreign profits would be set at 14 percent, significantly lower than the current top corporate rate of 35 percent.

The administration wants to overhaul corporate taxes by ending certain tax breaks and lowering rates, a challenging task that Obama and

Budget highlights Highlights of proposals in the $4 trillion budget for 2016 that President Barack Obama sends to Congress on Monday: A six-year, $478 billion public works program for highway, bridge and transit upgrades. About $238 billion would come from a one-time 14 percent mandatory tax on the up to $2 trillion in estimated U.S. corporate earnings that have accumulated overseas.

That rate is significantly lower than the current top corporate rate of 35 percent. The top corporate rate for U.S. earnings would drop to 28 percent; foreign profits would be taxed at 19 percent, with companies getting a credit for foreign taxes paid.

NHTSA announces second air bag recall NEW YORK — Drivers, bring your vehicles back to the shop for more work on faulty air bags. The government says more than 2 million Toyota, Chrysler and Honda vehicles need a second fix for air bags that may inadvertently inflate while the car is running.

The recall includes some Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Avalon models made from 2002 to 2004.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said all of the vehicles covered in Saturday’s announcement had already been under a recall for the faulty air bags. Carmakers originally tried to fix the defects by partially replacing the electronic control unit, made by TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. of Livonia, Michigan, but that fix didn’t always work. The new remedy — full replacement of the unit — will be available to all affected vehicles by the end of the year. However, the NHTSA is urging consumers with cars under the first recall to have the partial unit installed despite the fix’s failure rate, even if they have to return to the dealer under the second recall.

Calif.: ‘The pill’ father dies Carl Djerassi, the chemist widely considered the father of the birth control pill, has died. Djerrasi died of complications of cancer in his San Francisco home, Stanford University spokesman Dan Stober said. He was 91. Djerassi, a professor emeritus of chemistry at Stanford, was most famous for leading a research team in Mexico City that in 1951 developed norethindrone, a synthetic molecule that became a key component of the first birth control pill.

“The pill” as it came to be known radically transformed sexual practices and women’s lives. The pill gave women more control over their fertility than they had ever had before and permanently put doctors — who previously didn’t see contraceptives as part of their job — in the birth control picture. In his book, “This Man’s Pill,” Djerassi said the invention also changed his life, making him more interested in how science affects society.

Texas: Cancer rates drop Declines in tobacco use, screenings, advances in cancer prevention and treatment have combined to create good news: Cancer rates have dropped 22 percent in two decades, the American Cancer Society said. Death rates from four major types of cancer — lung, breast, prostate and colon — drove the decrease, the society reported.

“It’s wonderful news,” said Dr. Richard Wender, chief cancer control officer for the society in Atlanta. “There’s no mystery about how this happened. The biggest factor has been reduction in tobacco use — first in men and then in women.” While rates dropped largely because more people are putting out their cigarettes for good, cancer experts said advancements in screening are also helping save more lives.

Associated Press CHICAGO — Many packaged meals and snacks for toddlers contain worrisome amounts of salt and sugar, potentially creating an early taste for foods that may contribute to obesity and other health risks, according to a new government study.

About seven in 10 toddler dinners studied contained too much salt, and most cereal bars, breakfast pastries and snacks for infants and toddlers contained extra sugars, according to the study by researchers at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They advise parents to read food labels carefully and select healthier choices.

The researchers analyzed package information and labels for more than 1,000 foods marketed for infants and toddlers. Results appear in the journal Pediatrics on Monday.

The study notes that almost one in four U.S. children ages 2 to 5 are overweight or obese — and that almost 80 percent of kids ages 1 to 3 exceed the recommended maximum level of daily salt, which is 1,500 milligrams. Excess sugar and salt can contribute to obesity and elevated blood pressure even in childhood, but also later on.

“We also know that about one in nine children have blood pressure above the normal range for their age, and that sodium, excess sodium, is related to increased blood pressure,” said the CDC’s Mary Cogswell, the study’s lead author. “Blood pressure tracks from when children are young up through adolescence into when they’re adults. Eating foods which are high in sodium can set a child up for high blood pressure and later on for cardiovascular disease.”

Summit to address safety after aviation calamities

By Joan Lowy Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Government and aviation industry officials from dozens of countries are meeting in Montreal this week to try to find consensus on how to keep from losing airliners like the one that vanished without a trace in Asia and another shot down in Eastern Europe.

It is only the second highlevel safety conference in the 70-year history of the International Civil Aviation Organization, a U.N. agency, but last year was calamitous. A Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared in March and has not been found. In July, another Malaysia Airlines flight was down shot down while flying over an area of Ukraine where ethnic Russian rebels are trying to secede.

There is broad agreement that the agency should build a database where governments can send intelligence

or warnings about risks to aircraft flying over conflict zones. Historically, though, nations other than the United States rarely have posted public warnings about such risks in other countries. Few have global intelligence networks, and it has been considered almost impolite for one country to issue a warning about another. Instead, the practice has been for each country to issue warnings only about its own airspace.

But that is changing.

ICAO, the U.N. agency, sent an urgent warning to members on Jan. 14 that airlines flying over Libya risk being shot down. On Jan. 22, the European Aviation Safety Agency distributed a French warning that flights over Pakistan might be subject to “terrorist attacks.”

Ukraine had warned airlines flying over its territory to remain above 32,000 feet.

The Malaysia plane, however, was flying at about 33,000 feet

from the Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital, when it was fired upon.

A majority of the 298 people aboard were Dutch citizens. The Netherlands wants airlines to tell passengers before takeoff whether a plane’s flight path will cross a conflict zone. Airlines and other nations say that goes too far.

While sympathetic to the Dutch concerns, “we’re also confident that an ICAO centralized database represents a reasonable balance,” said Kenneth Quinn, former general counsel at the Federal Aviation Administration.

There also are disagreements about whether database information should be screened before being made public, and how to handle conflicting or inaccurate information. Besides official intelligence, the database is expected to include media reports and other unofficial information.

AROUND THE WORLD Japan: Heightened security Appalled and saddened by news of journalist Kenji Goto’s purported beheading by Islamic State extremists, Japan ordered heightened security precautions Sunday and said it would persist with its non-military support for fighting terrorism. The failure to save Goto raised fears for the life of a Jordanian fighter pilot also held by the militant group that controls about a third of both Syria and Iraq. Unlike some earlier messages delivered in the crisis, the video that circulated online late Saturday purporting to show a militant beheading Goto did not mention the pilot. Jordan renewed an offer Sunday to swap an al-Qaida prisoner for the pilot, Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh, who was seized after his F-16 crashed near the Islamic State group’s de facto capital, Raqqa, Syria, in December.

Ethiopia: Peace deal South Sudan’s warring factions early Monday signed another peace deal in the latest effort to end hostilities that have raged for more than a year. The government and rebels have previously signed at least three peace deals which were broken quickly. Leaders of the regional bloc overseeing the talks, IGAD, will take severe action against anyone who breaks this latest agreement and report them to the African Union and U.N. Security Council, said mediator Seyoum Mesfin.

Business offers tips on crime prevention

By M.L. Dehm For The Herald Business Journal

When real estate agent Beverly Carter went missing on Sept.

25, it sparked a viral social media campaign to find her. Sadly, Carter’s body was found in a shallow grave north of Little Rock, Arkansas, four days later, making her the latest real estate agent to be murdered in the U.S. Carter’s case was not rare. It was the social media blitz that helped to make her case high profile. Real estate agents have long been targets of crime.

“It happens all the time unfortunately,” said Shannon Sessions, owner of Lynnwood-based business Safety Sessions. “Assaults on real estate agents just isn’t big news.”

As a past public information officer for the Lynnwood Police Department and a crime prevention specialist, Sessions is very aware of the ways in which people can put themselves in danger,

particularly through their jobs.

In Carter’s case, she did many things right, Sessions said. Carter let her husband know where she was going to be and when she would be expected back. But there was more she could have done to protect herself.

Safety Sessions offers courses in real estate agent safety, corporate crime prevention, women’s safety, children’s safety and much more.

CPR/AED and First Aid certifications are also available through Safety Sessions.

Sessions teaches real estate agents how to walk the line between being personable but not personal.

She also stresses the importance of getting identification and checking to see if the person even qualifies for a loan before meeting a stranger inside of an empty house.

“Really, Realtors are kind of wasting their time showing a house to someone who isn’t qualified for a loan already,” Sessions

said. “If they’re not qualified for a loan and you don’t know who they are — that’s a possible red flag.”

If a person is a legitimate client, they usually won’t mind providing information. That is the message that the industry has been working hard to get out, Sessions explained. But agents are still often willing to compromise their own safety and take a chance rather than lose the opportunity of a potential sale.

Sessions is passionate about the business that she started to help offset the lack of crime prevention resources available to businesses, organizations and others.

In the past, businesses often looked to the police departments for assistance with crime prevention.

“With budget cuts, most police departments don’t have a crime prevention section anymore,” Sessions said.

Yet workplace violence is still a reality. In many cases, the situation could have been avoided had certain precautions been taken.

Warning signs are frequently ignored.

Sessions believes the most important thing people can do for their own safety is to not ignore their sixth sense and to listen to what their gut is telling them.

“We tend, through human nature, to deny and diminish,” Sessions said. “Those things happen on TV. We can’t imagine them happening to somebody we know or in our own life.”

While at the police department, Sessions would frequently hear victims of crime say they knew something wasn’t right about the person or situation. They just didn’t act on those feelings.

People need to empower themselves to do something about it, Sessions said. If something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t.

She has found that women, more than men, tend to put themselves into unsafe situations because they don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings.

They don’t want to say no without a concrete reason and that

can be fatal. Education is the key to safety.

“I want to encourage people to get us in there before something bad happens so we have time to prevent it,” Sessions said.

As a media relations training and consulting specialist and former public information officer, Sessions is also called in to help because something bad has already happened and the business needs advice about dealing with the media.

Most organizations aren’t equipped to deal with a high profile incident that is going to attract a lot of public and media attention.

Corporations will often reply, “No comment” which is not the best answer, Sessions said. It is always better to offer some kind of statement. “Even if corporately you can’t speak on it, can’t you say that you are cooperating with the police or that you’re sorry for the family? There is always something you can say,” she said. “We help with those kind of things.”

Pot taxes net $22.5M in 6 months

By Amy Watkins For The Herald Business Journal

LAKE STEVENS — Reed Evans and his family members make frequent trips to the Washington State Liquor Control Board office in Olympia.

That’s because they, like others who have recreational marijuana businesses, owe a monthly excise tax of 25 percent on all marijuana sales. Evans and his family in October opened Cannablyss, the only retail marijuana shop in Lake Stevens.

“We drive on down with our 25 percent,” Evans said. “We’re smart about it. It was really confusing in the beginning but we have an awesome accountant and he just helps us along.”

The excise tax is applied to all taxable sales of marijuana, marijuana-infused products, marijuana concentrates and useable marijuana. At Cannablyss, that means a gram of marijuana sold for $20 nets a profit of less than $4 after accounting for purchase price, state taxes, and setting some aside to pay federal income tax, Evans said.

“Out of that we have to pay for rent, employees, PUD, cable, a little marketing and really any normal expense of a business,” he said. “If that means just breaking

even for a while, it’s great with us but the taxes are expensive.”

The Liquor and Control Board updates a list every Tuesday with figures showing the amount of excise tax on pot sales from the state’s 334 retail locations.

Totals posted from June 16 through Jan. 19 showed marijuana sales activity reaching approximately $75.7 million with the state collecting more than

$18.9 million in excise tax.

Last year, budget forecasters predicted that the still young industry could generate as much as $143 million in the state’s next biennium, which runs through 2015-2017.

Payments are always due no later than the 20th day of every month for the previous month’s sales, said Brian Smith, communications director for the state’s

Liquor Control Board.

“So far it’s been 100 percent compliance,” he said. “It’s been smooth. We’re finding that about roughly three quarters (of marijuana business owners) are paying with check. People are finding banks. It’s slowly opening up.”

The Washington State Department of Revenue also plays a role in collecting marijuana taxes.

The department collects business and occupation tax from marijuana producers, processors, and retailers, as well as retail sales tax on sales of marijuana and marijuana-infused products.

Figures released through Dec. 11 show the department has collected approximately $3.6 million in recreational pot taxes.

“We have done our own contact with businesses to walk them through tax forms and how to file electronically and pay electronically,” said Kim Schmanke, communications director for the state’s Department of Revenue.

“To the best of my knowledge it’s run rather smoothly with businesses telling us they appreciate the customer service.”

Reed’s parents, Bob and Denise Evans, were the ones to get the license to open the shop at 2705 Hartford Drive NE. Although he’s looked, Reed said he hasn’t yet found a bank to do business with but that paying cash is working for now. They make sure to keep only a limited amount of cash on hand.

He and his family are also carefully saving money from gross sales to pay federal income tax when it’s due.

“We’re just starting to understand the business and it’s working for us,” Reed said. “We’ve really gotten in a routine.”

Obama’s community college plan could help small business

By Ryan Davis Special to The Herald

P

resident Barack Obama’s proposal to make two years of community college free for all Americans is getting the attention of cash-strapped college students and their parents.

But students aren’t the only ones who could benefit. If enacted, the president’s proposal could help small business owners, too.

I’m not just saying that because I work for Everett Community College as EvCC’s Dean of Business and Applied Technology.

Some small businesses are struggling to find skilled employees.

According to a 2013 survey by staffing firm Robert Half, 60 percent of small business owners

list finding skilled workers as their most significant workforce challenge.

Nearly half of the new skilled jobs that small businesses are creating are “middle skill” jobs requiring a post-secondary credential less than a bachelor’s degree. As the competition heats up for these workers, smaller firms often lose out to their larger counterparts.

Few start-ups or even mature small enterprises can compete with well-staffed recruiting teams and lavish marketing budgets — not to mention higher salaries and excellent benefits.

Small businesses can offer sublime perks compared with working for a large organization, such as the opportunity to rapidly learn new skills and to be a key part of an emerging enterprise.

Announcements The Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board approved $412,500 in public investments for infrastructure development and economic feasibility studies targeting business growth and job creation. Locally, the city of Arlington received a

In a recent business class at EvCC, I facilitated a discussion about leadership styles and what made a good workplace.

Students who had worked for both large and small companies seemed to prefer the smaller environments. They found themselves more empowered, felt part of a team and valued the fact they were part of producing the end product or service.

The work was often harder, but they enjoyed the challenge. Free tuition at the community college level, as opposed to large universities, may help land skilled talent looking to help your business thrive.

Expanding access to community college by removing the tuition barrier would grow the pool of skilled workers across the nation. More importantly, the

$50,000 grant for a feasibility study to develop the Arlington Valley Road. The Port District of South Whidbey received $45,000 for a feasibility study to develop the Island County Fairgrounds.

source of the new talent would be accessible to small businesses in the local community.

New college graduates would have roots in the region and a higher likelihood of wanting to stay to work for a homegrown venture. With more college graduates in their back yard, local business will find increasing opportunities to engage with their local college to target the talent they need to grow and expand.

Additionally, the proposal would create a way for small business to grow from within.

Most emerging businesses cannot afford tuition reimbursement benefits like Fortune 500 firms.

With tuition waived, companies of all sizes will have access to higher education for their workforce to earn certificates and degrees without footing the bill.

announced that the underwriters of its previously announced public offering of common stock have exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 900,000 shares of common stock. The closing of the option exercise occurred Jan. 22. Gross proceeds from the offering were approximately $203.6 million.

Pairing the opportunity to learn new skills on the job with a pathway to a degree would help level the recruiting playing field in the search for talent.

The free tuition proposal is unlikely to find traction in the current political climate. Critics of the policy decry its cost, and some question whether tuition costs are the best way to spend additional higher education dollars. Surely the end policy would need further refining to meet its ultimate ends.

However, if our community entrepreneurs and business owners add their voices to the discussion, this may be a policy idea that can grow to satisfy both populists and pro-business camps alike.

Ryan Davis is dean of Business and Applied Technology at Everett Community College.

Everett-based Scuttlebutt brewery and restaurant announced that it produced 7,636 barrels in 2014, an increase of 11.3 percent over the prior year.

IN OUR VIEW | Opportunity Washington

Setting goals for prosperity Before they get too much deeper into the session, state legislators would do themselves and their constituents a favor by sitting down with a cup of coffee, a highlighter and a copy of a new report, “Opportunity Washington: Priorities for Shared Prosperity.” Actually, we’d put it on the recommended reading list for city, county, school and business leaders and anyone else with an interest in the economic health of Snohomish County, which ought to cover just about everyone.

The report, compiled by the Washington Alliance for a Competitive Economy — whose members include the Association of Washington Business, Washington Roundtable and Economic Alliance Snohomish County — is an attempt to provide a roadmap for the state regarding education and workforce development, transportation and job creation that references existing information as well as perspectives that were gathered during 12 “listening” sessions last year in each

corner of the state, said the AWB’s Chris Johnson.

The report, which is available at www.opportunitywa. org, is not intended as a legislative agenda but more of a reference tool for long-term decision-making with specific benchmarks — some of them already outlined by the Roundtable folks — that can be used to measure progress.

The current state of the state, as outlined in the report, finds plenty of opportunities for improvement. Washington ranks 32nd in the nation for high school graduation rate, 33rd for bachelor’s degrees per capita in science, technology, engineering and math and 38th for bachelor’s degrees awarded per capita.

Regarding transportation, the state ranks 36th for road conditions, 38th for average statewide commute times and 41st for bridge conditions.

And for business climate and jobs, while the state ranks 13th for private-sector job growth, it falls to 33rd for business tax burden, 44th for unemployment insurance tax rates

and 50th for benefits paid for workers’ compensation.

To begin moving up from those rankings, the report recommends that the state: Achieve by improving access and increasing investment in education from pre-school through college, particularly in the STEM fields, to ensure that at each step students are prepared for the next.

Connect with increased investment to preserve and maintain the state’s roads and bridges, improve freight mobility and connections among roads, rails and ports and plan regionally to prioritize and fund local transportation needs.

Employ by streamlining regulations, supporting policies that encourage business investment and job growth and reforming the state’s tax system, specifically its reliance on the business and occupation tax, which is as outdated as the sales tax is regressive.

To look around us in Snohomish and King counties, with an economic recovery in

full swing, some might question the urgency the report reflects. But that recovery isn’t broadly shared in the state and is still vulnerable, specifically if the needs above are not addressed. In the year between September 2013 and September 2014, Johnson said, while King County gained 44,000 jobs and the rest of the state added 33,000, twelve counties actually reported a loss of jobs. Just as your financial adviser recommends diversifying your 401(k), the state, to help it weather future downturns, needs a broad-based recovery.

There will be disagreements in the details, especially regarding how to ensure results from the money spent on education, how to fund necessary transportation improvements, how to fairly reform our tax system and how to rewrite regulations that protect the things we value while not swamping business. But reaching agreement on those tasks starts with finding common ground in our goals to achieve, connect and employ.

■■SPEEDING DRIVERS

trying to paint British Columbia as the bad guy. I think that the lesson should have been “don’t lend your car to someone who will do excessive speeding or there may be consequences.”

As Shakespeare wrote “It is a wise father that knows his own son.” If, however, he feels his son should be allowed to excessively speed, I should quote the idiom that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

I, for one, would feel safer on B.C. roads knowing that the province is trying to do something about speed-related motor vehicle accidents, injuries and deaths. Maybe Washington state could also learn something by consulting with the authorities in B.C., and if their law is working, see if something similar adapted to our legal system might be implemented.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■IMMUNIZATIONS

Wrong to close clinic in Everett Thank you so much for taking a realistic stand on vaccines for our children (In Our View, “With vaccines available, it’s dangerous in Fantasyland.”)

It seems ironic that on the same day this editorial was published, it was announced that the Snohomish Health District’s Everett office had a water pipe burst, which has forced the relocation of their immunization clinic to its Lynnwood office. We can’t always prevent a water pipe from breaking, but the Snohomish County Board of Health has chosen to actually close this immunization clinic for good this coming summer.

The reasoning is that there are “lots of other providers who can do these services.” What about medically disenfranchised, homeless and undocumented people? What about those refugees or immigrants that don’t qualify for the Affordable Care Act? We as a community are not investing in our local public health system so that disease prevention programs are protected from budget cuts, and it will begin to show one way or another.

The editorial also mentioned that the U.S. has promised $1 billion over the next four years to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This is the global approach to immunizations. I am proud to be an American when our government chooses to invest in the lives of children, no matter where they live. The Herald is spot on in saying,

“ The disconnect between this global effort to eliminate preventable disease and parents in developed countries who refuse or are reluctant to vaccinate their children is mind-boggling and dangerous.”

Teresa Rugg Snohomish

Perhaps we could adapt B.C. law Michael Wandell wrote in his Jan. 6 letter that he learned a bitter lesson when the car he loaned his son to go to Whistler, B.C., was impounded for a week for excessive speed — almost 25 mph over the posted limit. I also seem to recall several motor vehicle deaths reported in The Herald in 2014 where excessive speed was a factor. The attitude that it’s OK to go 55 mph in a 30 mph zone (or 70 in a 45 mph zone or 95 in a 70 mph zone) strikes me as impaired thinking. And like a driver under the influence of alcohol, the driver who ignores the posted speed limits by almost 25 mph ought to be taken out of the driver’s seat until he “sobers up.”

OTHER VOICES | U.S. energy policy

Keystone pipeline debate a symbolic one By the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board President Barack Obama is getting flak from the left and right for his failure to take decisive action on the Keystone XL pipeline, which would cut across the United States to transport Canadian oil to the Gulf Coast.

But for all the controversy the proposal has created, it doesn’t offer much in the way of economic benefits, as its advocates claim. Nor would it

spell climate disaster, as environmental activists assert.

Keystone XL has come to represent much more than the effects of the pipeline alone.

Climate activists call it a test of Obama’s resolve about limiting human-made climate change. Supporters of Keystone say a veto of the project would prove the president doesn’t care about jobs.

With legislations passed by the House and Senate, Obama has vowed to veto the bill that would approve the pipeline’s construction.

The project would create several thousand temporary construction jobs, and a few hundred permanent jobs.

Almost all of its oil would be exported to other nations. The method of extracting oil from tar sands emits 17 percent more greenhouse gases than typical drilling.

The United States should not feel obligated to build a pipeline to facilitate Canada’s transport of dirty oil. At the same time, the pipeline wouldn’t result in higher fossil-fuel consumption; tar

sands oil will still be extracted in Canada and used for energy, whether shipped through Keystone, by rail or another route.

Whatever the outcome, the controversy has forced a debate in Congress about energy.

Even after Keystone, the urgent work of crafting the right policies and cutting emissions lies ahead.

The above editorial appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Jan. 29.

A populist movement first needs people

B

ernie Sanders is in his natural state — of agitation.

It’s just 9 a.m., but the socialist senator, contemplating a presidential run as a Democrat or as a populist independent, is red in the face and his white hair askew. In a conference room at The Washington Post, he’s raising his voice and thumping his index finger.

DANA MILBANK “We are living in the United States right now at a time when the top one-tenth of 1 percent own more wealth than the bottom 90 percent,” the Vermont lawmaker says in his native Brooklyn accent.

“One family, the Walton family of WalMart, owns by itself more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of the American people.”

And then there are the Kochs, “the second wealthiest family in America, worth $85 billion ... who are now prepared to buy the United States government.”

“You’re looking at the undermining of American democracy, OK?” The real outrage, though, is that so few people share his fury.

There’s widespread agreement about the problem — that inequality is as bad as it has been in America since the crash of ‘29. Even Republican leaders are talking about it (their solution, alas, is a tax system with even more breaks for the wealthy.) But there’s no sign yet of the mass anger that could turn into a political movement.

This is the week we would have seen it. As my colleague Matea Gold reported, the Koch brothers and their fundraising network plan to spend $889 million on the 2016 race. That sort of brazen bid to buy an election should come with naming rights — perhaps the Charles G. and David H. Koch White House, to match the Charles G. and David H. Koch United States Senate they financed in 2014. A half dozen of those whose new Senate seats were acquired with Koch money attended a Koch confab in Palm Springs over the weekend to thank their patrons.

But the news elicited no more outrage than previous acquisitions of the House of Representatives (aka Citi Field). “The anger is there,” Sanders says, but “it’s an anger that turns into saying, ‘go to hell, I’m not going to participate in your charade.

I’m not voting.’ So it’s a weird kind of anger.

It’s not people getting out in the streets. ...

We’re at the stage of demoralization.”

That leaves Sanders’ populist candidacy in an awkward place. He can mount a symbolic primary campaign against Hillary Clinton that goes nowhere. “Can you mobilize people? Can you tap the anger that’s out there?” Sanders asks rhetorically. “The answer is — you know what?

— I don’t exactly know that we can.”

Or he can run as an independent and perhaps take enough votes in a general election to be a spoiler. But he doesn’t seem inclined to be a Ralph Nader, who doomed Al Gore in 2000 and saw no difference between the two parties. “There is a difference,” says Sanders, who caucuses with Senate Democrats.

Sanders faults President Obama for the current demoralization. “I think he had a moment in history to do what President Roosevelt did in 1932,” he says. “He had the opportunity to say to the American people, ‘look, millions of people have lost jobs ... [and] it’s because of what JPMorgan did, it’s because of what Morgan Stanley did, what Goldman Sachs did.”

“Is that moment today?” Sanders continues. “No ... I think he lost that extraordinary opportunity.” Democrats remain “too tepid” in taking on big money, and Clinton won’t be “as bold as she needs to be.”

Clinton comes from the corporate wing of the party. Though there are nascent signs of a tea party of the left emerging, no candidate represents it. Sanders, a 73-yearold socialist, is charismatically challenged, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren D-Massachusettes, who has more flair, doesn’t appear to be contemplating a run. Even if she did, the primaries are so dominated by big money that it’s not clear Warren could pose a viable challenge to Clinton.

No wonder Sanders is so agitated. “You have to take on the Koch brothers and you have to take on Wall Street and you have to take on the billionaires,” he says, gesticulating madly and fuming about the “oligarchy” running government. “Not to get you too nervous,” he says, but “I think you need a political revolution.”

As Sanders is learning, you can’t have a populist revolution without people.

Cardiac From Page A3

“A lot of times the first symptom of sudden cardiac arrest is actually sudden cardiac arrest,” said Darla Varrenti, of Mill Creek, whose 16-yearold son Nicholas died of the condition following a weekend of football in 2004.

In Nicholas’s honor, Varrenti founded the Nick Of Time Foundation, a nonprofit organization.

The foundation is dedicated to reducing rate of SCA in young adults and children. Varrenti serves as executive director. The foundation has held SCA awareness events and CPR classes at 41 different Washington schools and has screened over 13,000 students for heart abnormalities.

The issue surfaced in Olympia where legislators, in partnership with Nick Of Time, are pushing a bill aimed at educating students and parents on how to prevent sudden cardiac arrest in schools and sports settings.

Typical heart attacks occur when blood flow to the heart, for one reason or another, has either slowed or stopped completely. SCA, on the other hand, is an electrical issue that causes the heart to abruptly shut down, rendering the victim unconscious and legally dead until someone can get the heart pumping again.

That initial response is key. According to the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Foundation, survival rates drop between 7 and 10 percent for every minute a victim goes without some form of CPR. “CPR isn’t going to bring them back, because with sudden cardiac arrest they’re basically already dead,” Varrenti said. “The CPR helps the blood move through the body before an AED can be brought to the scene, administering electric shock to actually try to reboot their heart and get it back in a normal rhythm.”

Heart valve and rhythm disorders are most often the culprits behind SCA episodes; although recreational drug use, electrocution and sudden blows to the chest also have been known to cause it in individuals without previous heart conditions.

Although his family didn’t know it at the time, Nicholas suffered a disease that causes the heart’s muscle tissue to thicken without any obvious cause. The condition tends to show no signs or symptoms until it causes the victim to go into sudden cardiac arrest.

Elmer suffers from a heart rhythm disorder that, like Nicholas’s condition, isn’t obvious until something goes wrong.

The syndrome is a hereditary condition. As an adopted child, Elmer had no knowledge of the dangers of her affliction until it was almost too late.

“This is something that parents and athletes need

to know about, because this is something that can happen without any warning,” Varrenti said. “Right now, we don’t do enough to make sure that our kids’ hearts are safe.”

The American Heart Association estimates that more than 6,000 people under 18 experience sudden cardiac arrest each year. Undetected heart conditions are the leading causes of death in young athletes, who as a group make up over half of all youth sudden cardiac arrest cases.

“This happens to athletes more often because of the high activity level that athletes have,” Varrenti said. “But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen to kids who are in PE class or even science class. We have a friend who lost her 5-year-old daughter on the playground. It happens to all kinds of kids.”

That’s why Varrenti thinks the best place to start with SCA awareness, for all ages, is in the classroom. And members the Washington Legislature agree with her.

With the help of eight other legislators, Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell, constructed SB 5083 — the Sudden Cardiac Awareness Act — that would require schools and community athletic organizations to hold informational meetings at the beginning of each school year to educate parents and young athletes about the risks of SCA. The bill also calls

for Nick Of Time, in a partnership with the University of Washington medicine center for sports cardiology, to develop an online educational pamphlet that parents would have to read and sign off on before their child could participate in athletics programs. Coaches would be required to complete an online SCA prevention program every four years.

The Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Act is similar to the Zackery Lystedt Law, a 2009 bill that requires similar measures be taken in promoting concussion awareness. In the five years since Washington first passed the law, all 49 other states have adopted similar legislation.

Varrenti told McAuliffe that her wish was to see a bill similar to the Lystedt law that would educate parents on the possible consequences of not knowing how healthy their children’s hearts are.

If parents had the information in front of them, Varrenti thought, they would be more inclined to get their child screened for heart problems.

“That’s when she told me, ‘Well we can do that.

Let’s start working on it,’” she said.

SB 5083 was introduced on Jan. 13 and a public hearing held in the Senate Committee on Early Learning & K-12 Education on Jan 22. On Wednesday, Jan. 28, a companion bill was introduced to the House of Representatives.

very-much-alive kind.

A decomposing animal carcass was probably the most revolting find. A mattress was the largest.

The most common finds included work gloves, dollar bills and chunks of tire tread. “Sometimes almost a whole tire. Tires are heavy — I didn’t know until this job.” She kept a running collection of family photos.

The teens decorated the van with found toys. And then there was the $100 bill that the crew got to split and keep.

“It was hard work but we made it pretty fun,” Bagby said.

Bagby, now 15 and finishing her freshman year at Mariner High School, said she plans to find a different job this summer because of a schedule that includes sports camps.

“It was a really great opportunity and I’d totally recommend it to other teens, because you can’t get other jobs when you’re 14,” she said.

Good job experience The job, which pays $11 per hour, is one of the few available to teens these days.

The unemployment rate for youth ages 16-24 sits at 16.5 percent in the state, according to Census estimates. That rate goes up to 25 percent when looking at the youngest of that group, 16- to 19-year-olds. The figures look only at youth who are working or seeking work and not those who, for example, are committed to school full-time.

Youth unemployment is a concern because studies show work experience in the teen years sets youth up for better job prospects in the future.

For some teens, Ecology Youth Corps is even more than a job, said Steven Williams, regional litter administrator for the state Department of Ecology. Several alumni of the Youth Corps have written back years later to say the experience was a part of what drove them to study environmental issues in college, he said.

That’s one reason he’s concerned by the dwindling dollars going to the litter program in recent years as the Legislature shifts money to other programs, such as state parks.

“They’re free to do what they want,” he said. “There are impacts.”

Historically, Ecology Youth Corps programs would hire 18 teens from Snohomish County and 350 statewide. This year, it will probably be no more than a dozen teens from Snohomish County and 250 statewide.

Since the budget cuts started in 2009, 1,200 fewer young people have been hired. There’s some hope

that the dollars will start coming back. House Bill 1060 proposes shifting the dollars back in 2017.

In Snohomish County, the summer youth crews focus on I-5 and a portion of I-405, and sometimes U.S. 2 and Highway 9.

Safety is the top priority, Williams said. If a supervisor doesn’t like the way something looks, such as a curve in the road, then they’ll back out. “It’s just litter.” On bad-weather days, teens clean a park or natural resources area instead.

Ecology also hires people 18 and older to clean more challenging roadways such as freeway medians, busy interchanges, and hightraffic areas.

Adults can help, too Besides the Ecology youth programs, the state Department of Transportation spends more than $3 million each year to pick up and dispose of litter.

This includes payments to Department of Corrections crews.

WSDOT also administers the Adopt-A-Highway program, which allows individuals and groups to get involved in clean-up work. Volunteers for that program must be at least 15 years old and in good health. Typical assigned sections include two to four miles of roadside.

Adopt-A-Highway is geared mostly at organized groups, but some individuals have gone through the safety training and go out four times a year to take care of their own little stretches of road, said Mel Reitz, coordinator for Skagit and Island counties.

Most sections of roadway have already been claimed, but there’s always some turnover, and rural and remote stretches often are overlooked.

Reitz suggested prospective volunteers first go over all the detailed information on the state’s Adopt-AHighway website, then contact their local area coordinator if they want to take the next step.

LIVING WITH CHILDREN

DAILY CROSSWORD

When parents need to just keep their cool

By John Rosemond Tribune News Service

My column of a few weeks back in which I described real-life parenting scenarios that qualified the parents in question for a diagnosis of “just plain nuts” was a big hit.

Since it ran, readers have sent me numerous examples of parents who indeed seem to qualify as JPN and be in need, therefore, of You Ought to be Ashamed of Yourself Therapy.

From a big city in the Midwest comes an example sent to me by the director of a private school where a kindergarten teacher told a 5-year-old girl that she was not allowed to sing her favorite nursery rhyme out loud any old time she pleased. Not a day went by before the child’s mother confronted said director, demanding that permission be granted. Seems the mother thinks that because she is paying for her child’s education (as opposed to people whose kids are in public school, who are also paying for their children’s education, albeit more, let us say, paradoxically) she is entitled to direct the director of the school

to create an individualized set of policies for her little precious.

This is another example of the sort of thing that causes school principals, directors, headmasters, and administrators all over the USA to tell me — always after they have closed their office doors — that “dealing with our students would not be a problem if it weren’t for their parents.”

My second example of “just plain nuts” parenting is somewhat indirect, because in this case the parents in question are not nuts, but someone is, for sure.

On December 20 of last year, two parents in Maryland allowed their 10-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter to walk home from a local park — a one-mile walk. The parents are believers in the “new” free-range child movement (which really isn’t new at all, as the reader will soon see). The kids were spotted by local parenting vigilantes who promptly performed their civic duty and called the police.

Some anonymous busybody also notified Child Protective Services (aka the Parenting Gestapo) who threatened to take the children into custody if the parents do not

submit to an intrusive investigation and promise, in writing, to not allow the children to be unsupervised for even a few minutes while the investigation is ongoing.

This is nuts. First, according to legal experts I’ve consulted, investigations of this sort are quite possibly unconstitutional (see the Fourth, Sixth, and 14th amendments). The problem is that there’s no advocacy group waiting in the wings to take these cases on and most parents so violated do not have the money to hire attorneys.

Where is the ACLU when we need them?

Despite the plethora of Amber Alerts, and despite the media’s obsession with the issue, there’s no good evidence that children today are in greater “stranger danger” than were kids 60 years ago, when at age seven I was walking a mile or more to school, the library, stores, parks, and the barber shop.

And I wasn’t holding my older sibling’s hand because I was an only child at the time.

It’s just amazing that I’m still around to tell the tale.

he’s an alcoholic since he doesn’t ever show signs of intoxication. I’ve been told that alcoholism is a progressive disease and that it will only increase.

What constitutes an alcoholic? Is it possible for Mike to drink every day but not be one? I don’t want to lose him, but he also has a very bad temper, and I’m afraid it’s not a good combination if we were to get married.

— Torn In North Carolina Dear Torn: You are right to be concerned. Even if Mike promised “not to drink so much,” he might backslide on his promise after the wedding.

Also, has it occurred to you that the whiskey may be part of what is causing Mike’s bad temper? Large quantities of alcohol have been known to alter a person’s perception, and the results can be explosive. If you haven’t already done so, consider attending an Al-Anon meeting, which may confirm this.

I’m not a medical doctor, but it would be interesting to know what your boyfriend’s physician thinks about the amount of alcohol he consumes, because the quantity you say Mike puts away may put him at risk for cirrhosis of the liver.

This may be more information than you asked for, but I don’t think Mike is marriage material because it appears he is already wedded to his bottle.

Dear Abby: I have a problem with blushing.

Whenever I’m the center of attention, even if it’s with just one other person, my face goes bright red. This even happens when I’m not feeling embarrassed.

I’ve learned to cope with the feeling of my face flushing. What I’m having trouble with is people’s comments about why my face is so red. I’ve never been able to come up with a good response. Telling them I’m not really embarrassed is met with skepticism. Please help. — Red-Faced In Memphis Dear Red-Faced: My advice is to be upfront and tell the questioner that you don’t know why it happens, but you’re not embarrassed. As you already know, blushing can happen if someone suffers from a social phobia. In cases like that, counseling and support groups can help.

However, because you find it happening even when you are not pressured or embarrassed, discuss it with your physician to be sure there isn’t an underlying physical problem.

Bid two diamonds, the “fourth suit,” showing only a desire to hear partner bid again.

Studies show that the public can have skewed views of veterans based on what’s seen in film or on television, said Chris Marvin, executive director of Got Your 6, the group launching the new program.

Hasty Pudding honors Poehler CAMBRIDGE, Mass.

— Amy Poehler turned the tables on her roasters, poking fun at Harvard and its famed Hasty Pudding theater troupe during its annual Woman of the Year award and roast Thursday.

The actress joked at the irreverent affair that she never expected to be feted by the Ivy League school she raised a “middle finger” to growing up in nearby Burlington, Massachusetts.

“I want to thank Hasty Pudding for reminding us how hard it is to write funny jokes,” she said after the two student roasters teased her about past roles in comedies such as “Baby Mama” and “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.”

The Golden Globewinning “Parks and Recreation” star and “Saturday Night Live” alum also poked fun at the university’s elitist reputation and pointed out the lack of female actors in her performance with the nation’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe.

“It’s unsettling that there

as North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and a dance routine with male actors dressed as the popular high school girls clique from her “Mean Girls” movie.

“Wow, Amy. You can rap, act and dance. You’re a regular Mark Wahlberg,” said Jason Hellerstein, president of the student group, who roasted Poehler along with group Vice President Samuel Clark.

Poehler promised to treat her award — a golden pudding pot — “with the respect any fake award deserves.”

Speaking to reporters after the roast, Poehler said being raised in the Bostonarea shaped her comedy.

“I think at times I have a very blue-collared approach,” she said. “Bostonians have to go through a lot of weather and traffic.

And you get pretty hardy. It certainly helped.”

Chris Pratt, Poehler’s co-star on “Parks & Recreation” who starred in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” film, is Hasty Pudding’s 2015 Man of the Year. He gets his own parade and roast Feb. 6 The annual award goes to performers who have made a lasting contribution to entertainment. Last year’s winners were Helen Mirren and Neil Patrick Harris.

Poehler has a 2014 Golden Globe award and five Emmy nominations for her role as Leslie Knope on “Parks and Recreation,” an NBC comedy series. She spent seven seasons on “Saturday Night Live.”

Talks break down; refinery workers could strike

By Tom Murphy Associated Press

The United Steelworkers Union called for its refinery workers to stage their largest walkout in more 30 years Sunday, saying its negotiations with Shell Oil Co. broke down less than two weeks after they began.

The union asked about 3,800 workers at nine refineries mostly in Texas and California to strike shortly after their previous

contract expired after midnight.

Negotiations over a new contract started Jan. 21. The call for a strike happened after United Steelworkers, or USW, rejected Shell’s fourth contract offer. The union said Shell refused to provide a counter offer and that the company’s representatives had left the bargaining table. “We had no choice but to give notice of a work stoppage,� USW International President Leo W. Gerard

said in a statement.

A Shell representative said in an email that the company remains “committed to resolving our differences with USW at the negotiating table to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.�

USW Spokeswoman Lynne Hancock said the union wants a three-year contract and is focused on health care costs, safety, the use of contractors and staffing concerns, as well as wages.

United Steelworkers represents about 30,000 workers at refineries, terminals, petrochemical plants and pipelines across the country. Shell is serving as the lead company in national oil bargaining talks with the union.

Any agreement reached between the union and Shell would then be used as a pattern for negotiations involving local unions.

The union called for a strike at the Marathon

Galveston Bay Refinery in Texas City, Texas, the Shell Deer Park Refinery in Deer Park, Texas, and the Tesoro Carson Refinery in Carson, California, among other locations.

Shell said its Deer Park operation has started strike contingency plans and will continue operations “in the normal course of business.�

It did not elaborate on the plans in a brief statement.

The remaining sites not targeted for a strike will operate under contract

extensions that renew every 24 hours until one side in the negotiations decides that they have reached an impasse, Hancock said.

She added that negotiators normally reach an agreement on a new deal by the time these national contracts expire, or they extend the contract a few days to continue negotiations. “We haven’t had a work stoppage like this since 1980,� she said.

Court decision in WSU golf case long in coming

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

SPOKANE — Golf is slow, but this is ridiculous.

The state Supreme Court in May 2013 heard arguments in a case involving the use of water from a declining aquifer to irrigate Washington State University’s new golf course. Nearly two years later, the court has yet to issue a decision.

In the lawsuit, opponents of the WSU golf course that opened in 2008 contend that the school is mining a declining aquifer that is the main source of water for the entire Pullman region to benefit an unneeded amenity.

University officials say their use of the water is lawful.

A spokesman for the state Department of Ecology, the defendant in the case, said the delay is unusual. “Our assumption is the complexity of the case is the reason for the delay,� agency spokesman Dan Partridge said.

Scott Cornelius of

Pullman, who brought the lawsuit against the agency, said “water law is extremely complicated and it gets more complicated every year.�

An official for the Supreme Court declined to speculate on when the ruling might be released.

The new course was intended to improve the school’s golf teams, provide a laboratory for students in turf grass courses and give boosters and alumni a new reason to visit the campus.

But the course was controversial from the beginning because of its drain on scarce water in the dry Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho.

The arguments centered on whether the state should have allowed the university to alter water rights to use them to irrigate the golf course.

The Washington state Department of Ecology failed to first consider whether those rights should have been relinquished for non-use, said Rachael Osborn, an

Seattle officer in golf-club case allegedly stole pot Associated Press SEATTLE — A Seattle police officer recently assigned to desk duty after a controversial arrest is facing an accusation that she once used marijuana stolen from evidence.

An ex-girlfriend of Officer Cynthia Whitlatch told The Stranger newspaper the two smoked the marijuana after it was taken in 2005.

The woman, Corinne Purucker, confirmed her account in an interview with the Seattle Times.

She said it was a small amount.

Whitlatch, through a union spokesman, denied the allegation that has been referred

by Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole to the department’s Office of Professional Accountability.

O’Toole removed Whitlatch from street duties Thursday after revelations that Whitlatch arrested a 70-year-old black man in July for carrying a golf club and later posted racially charged comments on Facebook.

The man, who has filed a $750,000 claim against the police department, said he had used the golf club as a cane for 20 years.

Beside the pot allegation, Purucker said Whitlatch, who is white, made racist comments during their relationship.

Purucker, 53, is a

former Tukwila police officer who resigned in 2004 after she was indicted and convicted in a bankruptcy-fraud case in Colorado. The fraud occurred while she was a police officer in that state. According to the indictment, Purucker used her roommate to hide ownership of a Jeep Grand Cherokee from a bankruptcy court.

Purucker, who now lives in another state, said she came forward now after learning of the golf-club case and the Facebook post.

Ron Smith, president of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, said the department must investigate Purucker’s allegation, but he said the criminal conviction raises doubts about her story. “I don’t how much credibility this woman is going to have,� Smith said.

The Seattle Police Department has made several changes prompted by a Justice Department investigation that found signs of biased policing, as well as evidence that officers are too quick to use force, especially in low-level situations. Amid the events of the past week, O’Toole said she has had regular discussions with the FBI, U.S. Justice Department and Office of Professional Accountability. “We will leave no stone unturned in these reviews,� she said.

attorney for the Center for Environmental Law & Policy.

The water rights in question were issued to WSU in 1962 for domestic and community domestic use and for stock watering. Osborn said the water wasn’t intended for municipal use.

But Sarah Mack, an attorney for WSU, argued before the court that the university’s water right was always claimed for municipal use, even if it wasn’t labeled that way. “The university used the water for the exact same purpose from the get-go, in one integrated campus water system,� she told the court.

The state argued that water rights for municipal water supply purposes are exempt from relinquishment. “WSU has acted in a lawful and responsible fashion in managing its water rights to attain its objectives as a state educational institution,� the state argued in court filings.

DEAN HARE / MOSCOW-PULLMAN DAILY NEWS

Sprinklers send water over the recently seeded west driving range tee area at the Palouse Ridge golf course at Washington State University in Pullman in June 2007.

Environmental Law & Policy has said the Grand Ronde Aquifer, from which the course gets its water, has been dropping by more than half a foot per year.

That imperils the drinking water source for the city of Pullman, nearby Moscow, Idaho, and the University

of Idaho, the center contended.

The center is suing on behalf of Cornelius, the Palouse Water Conservation Network and the Palouse Group of the Sierra Club.

Washington State University officials note

that they have made extensive water conservation efforts elsewhere to reduce the total amount of water the school is using.

But Cornelius said that doesn’t change the fact that a golf course is a poor use for water.

Coeur d’Alene powwow canceled

COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — One of the biggest Powwows in the nation — the Julyamsh powwow held annually at the Greyhound Park in Post Falls — has been canceled for this year.

The Spokesman Review reported that the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort announced the cancellation Friday.

The announcement comes as four Indian tribes in Idaho are pushing the state to outlaw “instant racing� electronic betting machines. One of the locations in Idaho with the machines is the Greyhound Park and Event Center.

Tribal spokeswoman Heather Keen says the cancellation is related to the instant racing controversy.

The July event is the largest outdoor powwow in the Northwest and among the largest in the nation, with 1,600 participants and up to 30,000 spectators over three days.

It’s been held in Post Falls for 17 years.

The tribe had talked about moving the event to the Coeur d’Alene Reservation, but they lack the necessary space and facilities.

Spokane: Teen’s swearing earns contempt of court Spokane County teenager spent his 18th birthday in juvenile detention.

His crime? Swearing.

The Spokesman-Review reported that Superior Court Judge Sam Cozza halted proceedings Friday after a teenager visiting court to see his brother’s case got up and stormed out of the room while swearing.

The judge demanded that he return. The teen explained to the judge that he was “a little bit irritated� because some the allegations against his brother were false.

Cozza gave the teen a lecture on proper courtroom conduct. He also found him in contempt of court, and ordered him held in jail for five days.

Two sheriff’s deputies handcuffed the teen whose 18th birthday was Saturday.

As a result of these improvements, WSDOT has determined a need to establish and acquire partial control limited access along SR 9, from the vicinity of Milepost (MP) 13.73 (SR 9/ S. Lake Stevens Rd intersection) to the vicinity of MP 14.26 (SR 9/ 20th St SE intersection). Limited access control is established to preserve the safety and efďŹ ciency of speciďŹ c highways and to preserve the public investment. Limited access control is achieved by establishing and acquiring access rights from abutting property owners and selectively limiting approaches to a highway.

A formal Limited Access Hearing will be held at 6:30 p.m. on February 18, 2015 in the Commons at Cavelero Mid High School located at 8220 24th St. SE, Lake Stevens WA 98258. Those who attend the hearing will be given an overview of the project and the limited access control proposals. Oral testimony will be taken one at a time and will be recorded by a court reporter. This hearing will also be over seen by an Administrative Law Judge to insure order and establish a quality record. Individuals should anticipate the process taking about one-and-one-half hours of their time.

The public will also have an opportunity to meet with the project team from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. prior to the hearing for any discussions about the project.

In accordance with Section 47.52 of the Revised Code of Washington, as an owner whose property is affected by the proposed establishment of limited access control, as a county or town, as an agency, organization, or as an interested citizen, you are hereby notiďŹ ed that a hearing on the limited access control proposals will be held on February 18, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in the Commons at Cavelero Mid High School located at 8220 24th St. SE, Lake Stevens WA 98258.

Project information may be reviewed and copied prior to the hearing by contacting Mr. Carl Berg at the address listed below.

The site is accessible to persons with disabilities. Individuals requiring reasonable accommodation may request written materials in alternate formats, sign language interpreters, physical accessibility accommodations, or other reasonable accommodation by contacting the event sponsor (Carl Berg collect at (206) 440-4333 one week before the hearing date (February 18, 2015).

Persons wishing information may call the Washington State Department of Transportation, OfďŹ ce of Equal Opportunity at (360) 705-7095.

Persons wishing to express an opinion concerning the limited access proposal may do so at the public hearing. Written testimony will be accepted at the hearing or can be mailed to Mr. Carl Berg, Project Manager, Washington State Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 330310, Seattle, WA 98133-9710.

Goal-line pick seals Pats’ win

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

JOHN BOYLE

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Pete Carroll still couldn’t believe it, 20 minutes after it happened.

The Seattle Seahawks’ head coach looked almost dazed in the lead hallway out of his team’s locker room Sunday night. Then he said, almost incredulously: “How did that just happen?”

Quarterback Russell Wilson couldn’t fathom it, either. He had just done everything to win the Seahawks’ second consecutive Super Bowl — except hand the ball one more time to Marshawn Lynch.

Two completions by Wilson, to Lynch across midfield then to Jermaine Kearse between his legs while the receiver was on his back, plus a 4-yard run by Lynch

LENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks needed one more yard for football immortality.

One more yard, and the Seahawks would win an all-time classic Super Bowl, and in doing so be just the ninth team in NFL history to repeat as champions.

Instead, while the Patriots and anyone without a rooting interest in the game will remember one of the most thrilling Super Bowls ever played, for the Seahawks, Sunday’s 28-24 loss in Super Bowl XLIX will forever be remembered for the one play that backfired in a huge way. And the one play call that, no matter how head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell try to explain, is so hard to understand.

The Seahawks led the league in rushing this season with the highest total in the NFL since See BOYLE, Page C10

Koepka claims first PGA win Associated Press SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — With an eagle putt that looked as long as his golf journey around the world, Brooks Koepka surged into the lead and stayed there Sunday in the Phoenix Open golf tournament, his first PGA Tour victory.

Koepka holed a 50-foot eagle putt from the fringe on the 15th hole and didn’t make any mistakes the rest of the way.

He closed with a 5-under-par 66 to finish at 16-under 269 at TPC Scottsdale, a stroke ahead of Hideki Matsuyama (67), Masters champion Bubba Watson (65) and Ryan Palmer (66).

The victory ended a long road for the 24-year-old from Florida. With no status in America, Koepka played the Challenge Tour in faraway lands such as Kazakhstan and Kenya, winning four times to earn his European Tour card and then validating his status as a rising star by winning the Turkish Open last year.

Martin Laird, who had a three-shot lead going into Sunday’s final round, was tied with Koepka going to the 17th until he sprayed it well right into the gallery on the short par-4 hole and made bogey, and then pulled his tee shot into the water on the 18th and made double bogey. He closed with a 72 to tie for fifth place with Arizona State junior Jon Rahm (68).

California’s Sam Singer (2) is mobbed by teammates and coaches after making the game-winning shot in the final seconds Sunday against Washington.

Buzzer-beater sinks UW Singer’s 3-pointer lifts California to a 90-88 victory

By Christian Caple The News Tribune

SEATTLE — Despite the outcome, the Washington Huskies weren’t all that upset about the circumstances of the shot that buried them Sunday afternoon.

They led by a point in the final seconds of Sunday’s game against the California Golden Bears, poised to win a game they mostly trailed after playing minimal defense and taking a beating on the boards.

Sam Singer, Cal’s sophomore guard who shoots 13.8 percent from 3-point range — the worst of any Cal player on the floor — held the ball atop the arc as the clock ticked inside seven seconds. UW guard Andrew Andrews, knowing Singer wasn’t likely to hurt UW from that range, took a step back to protect against the dribble drive.

But 10 days after Andrews beat the Colorado Buffaloes with a last-second jumper of his own, he watched Singer launch and connect on a 3-pointer with four seconds remaining, the shot that lifted Cal to a 90-88 victory over the Huskies before a generously announced crowd of 6,319 at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.

Andrews didn’t seem bothered by the way UW played that final possession, saying that if Cal was going to shoot a 3, “probably we want Singer to shoot it. He looked to drive, so I kind of backed off a little, had my hand high, and he shot over my hand and made it. I think pretty much all of us would have a 14-percent 3-point shooter shooting a three to win the game at the end, if that was the opposing team.”

More troubling for the Huskies was the way they defended — or didn’t defend — throughout this matchup. California shot 60 percent from the field, attacking the rim with fervor against a Huskies team that often played five guards at once.

Such a tactic is necessary because of the dismissal of 7-foot shot-blocker Robert Upshaw and an injury to 6-foot-10 forward Jernard Jarreau. And after the Huskies lost 84-74 to Stanford on Wednesday night, Cal further exposed just how much of a dropoff Washington’s defense has experienced without Upshaw thwarting penetration near the basket.

Jordan Mathews led the Bears (13-9, 3-6) with 23 points. Tyrone Wallace added 21. David Kravish had 16. And 50 of Cal’s points came in the paint. The Bears also out-rebounded UW 38-22.

Unlike Stanford, which pounded the Huskies inside with a taller post player (Stefan Nastic), Cal’s guards simply dribbled and slashed their way to layup after layup.

“We have to be able to keep them in front of us,” UW coach Lorenzo Romar said. “Their guards continued to penetrate, and when their guards didn’t score off penetration, they kicked it out. Guarding the ball screen, all of that. We’ve got to do a better job of that.”

The Huskies at least figured out how to score, which counts as progress, in an awkward kind of way. Their five-guard lineup helped force 14 Cal turnovers, which the Huskies converted into 19 points.

After the Huskies fell behind

40-27 late in the first half, UW guard Darin Johnson hit a pair of 3-pointers to cut the margin to single-digits. Sophomore point guard Nigel Williams-Goss, who scored 31 points, converted a 3-point play and hit a 3-pointer from the corner at the first-half buzzer to trim Cal’s halftime lead to 43-41.

It was a back-and-forth affair thereafter. The Huskies tied it at 51, 59, 61 and then 71 with a little more than eight minutes to play. Cal responded with a quick 7-0 run, four of those points by Singer (on a layup and an immediate steal and score). Mike Anderson and Williams-Goss carried UW’s offense in the final minutes, and the Huskies finally took their first lead since early in the first half when WilliamsGoss hit a pull-up jumper with 19.5 seconds to play.

After playing man-to-man defense the entire game, the Huskies switched to a 2-3 zone for Cal’s final possession. Romar wanted to limit the kind of successful dribble penetration Cal relied upon all afternoon.

To that end, it worked. Cal moved the ball around the perimeter until it settled with Singer, who hadn’t made a 3-pointer since Jan. 4.

But he nailed this one, and Williams-Goss missed a desperation attempt at the buzzer.

“I was in a little bit of a slump, pretty much this whole year,” Singer said. “But I kept working, put my head down, kept getting shots up in the morning, after practice. … It feels great to have it all pay off and finally hit a three, especially the time that I hit it.”

Djokovic earns his fifth crown Associated Press MELBOURNE, Australia — This was one occasion where Novak Djokovic couldn’t really empathize with Andy Murray, his long-time friend.

As he prepared to receive the trophy as the Australian Open winner for a fifth time in five trips to the final at Melbourne Park, Djokovic turned to Murray late Sunday and offered his congratulations on his friend’s recent engagement.

Nice segue. Murray — to set the record straight — had just lost an Australian Open final for the fourth time, including three at the hands of Djokovic. Murray won the U.S. Open in 2012 and Wimbledon in 2013 to end decades-long droughts at the majors for British men, but was clearly upset at his inability to crack it in Melbourne after this 7-6 (5), 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-0 defeat.

“I wish you a wonderful wedding and many kids,” Djokovic said, kicking off his trophy acceptance speech. Murray smiled. His fiancee, Kim Sears, applauded from her seat in the crowd. She’d already drawn attention for her shirt that was emblazoned with

USC shot just 5-of-26, including 0-of-7 from 3-point range, and committed 10 turnovers in the first half to allow Utah to take control early. Two 3-pointers by Loveridge helped put the Utes up 17-5 early, as USC missed 11 of its first 13 shots.

The Trojans didn’t reach 20 points until Martin’s free throw with 13:19 remaining in the game.

“It’s slightly different thinking for me now since I became a father and a husband,” Djokovic explained. “I apologize for changing the subject.”

His outlook on life had changed between his two most recent trips to Australia. He

married long-time partner, Jelena, and the couple had a son, Stefan, in late October.

He said his first Grand Slam title since his marriage and the birth of his son had a “deeper meaning, more intrinsic value.”

“Getting married and becoming a father was definitely something that gave me a new energy, something that I never felt before,” he said. “And right now everything has been going in such a positive direction in my life. I’m so grateful for that.”

Djokovic has eight major titles, including his five in Australia, where he won his first Grand Slam title in 2008 and then won three straight from 2011 before losing in the quarterfinals last year to Stan Wawrinka.

The 27-year-old Serbian is now second on the list of all-time Australian Open winners — behind only Roy Emerson, who won six titles in the 1960s and who was in the crowd Sunday.

After two tough first sets decided in tiebreakers, when there was eight breaks of serve and plenty of tension, Djokovic broke open the match after the sixth game of the third set and won 12 of the last 13 games.

Hawks play hardball with Matthews Rookie WR catches 4 passes for 109 yards, TD

By Darrin Beene The News Tribune

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Zero was the number of catches Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews had in his NFL career coming into Super Bowl XLIX. And it was also close to the level of concern the New England Patriots had about him being a factor in the game.

Patriots safety Devin McCourty said his team was a “little bit” surprised that the Seahawks would look to the 6-foot-5 rookie, who was best known as being the guy who recovered the onside kick in the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers.

“He had not shown up on any film,” McCourty said. “About the only thing we knew about him is that he is tall.”

Seahawks fans barely knew any more than the Patriots did about the player signed out of the Canadian Football League, who was cut at the end of August and then released twice more from the practice squad before being signed to the active roster on Dec. 6. Matthews played in three regular season games, mostly on special teams, but was active for all three postseason games.

If not for Malcolm Butler’s game-saving interception in the Patriots’ 28-24 victory, the world might have known Chris Matthews as the Super Bowl’s most valuable player. He had a teambest four receptions for 109 yards, including a touchdown with two seconds left in the first half that allowed the Seahawks to tie the game at 14.

Matthews even admitted after the game he didn’t know he was going to be one of Russell Wilson’s favorite targets.

“I wasn’t even expecting to get a ball,” said Matthews. “I was expecting to go down there and do special teams and make plays as a special teams’ player.”

Matthews was special, though.

His first catch, a 44-yard gain in the second quarter, gave the Seahawks a first down at the Patriots’ 11. Three plays later Marshawn Lynch ran it in to tie the game at 7.

“He was huge,” fellow receiver Jermaine Kearse said. “I can’t tell you how proud I am of him.”

At the half, McCourty said the Patriots even decided to switch some coverages up in order for the 6-foot-4 cornerback Brandon Browner to match up with Matthews. He caught two more passes in the third quarter: 45-yarder on the team’s

first possession that ended in a field goal and then another for a 9-yard gain.

Matthews said despite his limited NFL resume, he felt he was ready if needed.

“I know it is nothing compared to the NFL, but throughout high school and college I’ve always been the player, one of the main

players,” he said. “So just stepping up and being there was nothing new to me.

“I just think the coaches prepared me in the best possible way they can in practice, making sure that I was well prepared for what was to come regardless of whether it was this year, next year or the year after that.”

Matthews was a star for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL, earning the most outstanding rookie trophy in 2012 by catching 81 passes for 1,192 yards and seven touchdowns.

He would like to think more big numbers are in his future given what he accomplished in the Super Bowl.

“Oh, this is huge,” Matthews said. “This is huge for me right now, just being able to finish the game and do what I did. Now I feel like I should come back and work extremely hard (for next season)...

“It’s been an amazing journey.

God is good. ... When your time is up, you have to be ready.”

SEAHAWKS | Commentary

Next time, do the simple thing, give the ball to Lynch

By Dave Boling The News Tribune

GLENDALE, Ariz. — For the Seahawks fans who have recovered from the defibrillation, there may be solace in the fact that they’re going forward with championship-caliber talent.

They’re young enough and combative enough. And you pretty much can be guaranteed they’re going to have a great deal of motivation.

But the question now becomes whether they can emotionally rebound from a stunningly heartbreaking defeat to New England in Super Bowl XLIX. Can they regain that confidence? Can they regain whatever degree of composure they surrendered at times as this went from an apparent win to a loss that will carry scars?

The 28-24 loss is all the more devastating because it was there for them. Just a yard away. Just a yard from a second straight Super Bowl title. A yard from being considered the new NFL dynasty.

A yard from further validation

of their entire approach to how football should be played in the NFL. A yard. Marshawn Lynch picks up yards all over the place, sometimes with 11 guys on his back.

But Marshawn Lynch didn’t get a chance. They called a pass play on second-and-goal from the New England 1 with :26 and a timeout remaining.

Russell Wilson’s pass was intercepted and head coach Pete Carroll was left to explain why in the world the ball was put in the air.

The logic of his explanation was faulty. He explained that the Pats put in their run-stopping goal-line package when the Hawks had three receivers on the field.

The matchup mandated a pass play. He said if it scored, great, if it didn’t, they could run it on third down.

“We were going to run the ball to win the game, but not on that down,” he said.

Well, did they ever waste it.

If you’re going to risk burning a down, do it by handing it off to

the best, toughest, most forceful and tenacious back in the NFL. Do it twice if you have to.

Because you’re not going to lose the game that way.

The best way to lose the game is to throw a pass and have it intercepted.

No way around it, this was botched. Either some heads need to roll, or there must be some serious reconsideration of how they operate in the red zone.

As Carroll said when he took the podium, “... all of the things that happened before are really meaningless to you now.”

Yes, and that’s a shame. This looked like another giant triumph in so many ways. Another unknown castoff player, receiver Chris Matthews, had a breakout game with four great catches.

The defense had largely throttled Patriot icon Tom Brady.

Jermaine Kearse made another indescribable catch in the clutch.

And quarterback Russell Wilson had masterfully directed what would be the game-winning

drive in the final minutes — again.

But it stopped a yard short, when a pass play was called.

In some ways, though, it started unraveling before that.

When the Hawks took a 24-14 lead in the third quarter on a pass to Doug Baldwin, Baldwin celebrated the occasion by miming a defecation in the end zone.

It drew a penalty, as it should.

It wasn’t some kind of statement.

It certainly wasn’t an expression of joy in scoring in the Super Bowl, of taking a big lead in the world’s biggest game.

It was crass and classless. And inexcusable.

And from that point, they were outscored 14-0.

Carroll took the blame. Wilson tried to take the blame, too.

Wilson has won so many games that might have been loses, it’s easy to just see this as a defender making a great play on a route that shouldn’t have been called.

And when affixing the blame on Carroll, here’s what you have

to remember: Without Carroll and whatever other decisions he’s made, and the way he’s handled these guys and the way he motivated them, this team might have finished 8-8 this season.

When this thing was on the verge of unraveling, he pulled them together, reminded them that their greatness lies in their collective beliefs. That meeting got them here.

“What we’ve got to do is come back and train harder to be sure we get those opportunities to get back,” said defensive end Michael Bennett, who played a spectacular game. “We lost this game, but it doesn’t determine the rest of our legacy.”

I tend to agree with him. Wilson will get his contract and will only improve. The defensive core will be intact.

And hints are that Lynch will be back, too, maybe even with more money.

The talent is here.

And when they get within a yard next time, they need to do the simple, logical thing: Give the ball to Marshawn.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

Seattle wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (15) keeps his eye on the ball before making a bobbling catch on his back in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLIX.

Miraculous catch nearly salvages game for Seahawks

By Gregg Bell The News Tribune

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Sports Illustrated cover-boy star almost did it again.

Almost.

With 1:14 remaining in Super Bowl XLIX and Seattle down 28-24, quarterback Russell Wilson looked for the wide receiver with whom he’s shared a bond since their rookie minicamp of 2012 — when Jermaine Kearse was an undrafted backup just trying to make the Seahawks’ kicking teams and Wilson was a third-stringer drafted in the third round.

Wilson threw what essentially was a 50-50 jump ball down the right side to the well-covered Kearse. New England’s Malcolm Butler was right there to knock Kearse down as the ball arrived.

But Kearse nimbly tapped the ball higher as he fell onto his back, then allowed it to rattle between his legs as if inside a pinball chute until he reached up and pulled it to his chest while prone.

Suddenly, miraculously, the hero of Seattle’s NFC title game with his winning catch in overtime had put the Seahawks at the Patriots’ 5-yard line with 1:06 left.

“Just trying to make a play for the team,” said Kearse, whose streak of four consecutive playoff games with a touchdown catch ended. “Russ gave me an opportunity. We always talk about maximizing our opportunities.

That’s just what it came down to.

“I saw it the whole time.”

Marshawn Lynch ran to the 1 on the next play. But then Wilson’s final pass, to No. 3 wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, was intercepted by Malcolm Butler with 20 seconds left.

“I mean, you got to finish the game. There was a lot of time left. Even with that play we had a chance. We just didn’t finish ...,” said Kearse, who wound up with three catches for 45 yards.

“Obviously, we had a chance.

But we didn’t execute. We called the play. What it comes down to is executing the play, and that’s not what we did. I am extremely proud of this team. We had a lot of ups and down during the season, just to get back here wasn’t easy.”

“It’s going to be disappointing ... the whole offseason, to know how close we were. But you’ve got to learn from the experience and keep getting better.”

Quinn to Atlanta?

Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn deflected a question as to whether this was his final game with Seattle before the architect of the league’s top-ranked defense the past two seasons takes the head-coaching job with the Atlanta Falcons.

That announcement is expected this week, now that the Seahawks’ season is over.

“I’d like to make everything tonight about our guys,” Quinn said. “You see the guys in the locker room and you know they gave everything they had.

You can’t ask for more than that as a coach.”

Defensive adjustments Quinn moved defensive end Michael Bennett inside to a tackle posi-

tion for much of the game, and Bennett sped past New England’s rookie center Bryan Stork all night. Bennett had four quarterback hits. And the speed of defensive end Cliff Avril coming off the other edge kept New England from totally focusing on Bennett.

At times Bennett controlled the line of scrimmage almost by himself, forcing New England quarterback Tom Brady into his first interception — in the first quarter he threw directly to Jeremy Lane — and drive-ending, rushed incompletions.

Bennett’s effectiveness waned late in the game after Avril suffered a concussion during an interception return

by Bobby Wagner in the middle of the third quarter that set up Doug Baldwin’s touchdown catch for Seattle’s 24-14 lead. The Patriots then doubled Bennett more, and Brady rallied New England with two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter.

“That was a real factor,” Quinn said of losing Avril. “It’s such a factor when you put him and Mike together.”

Asked how he felt about the loss, Bennett barely contained himself.

“I don’t know what kind of question that is,” he said. “Obviously, it’s (hard) because you just saw your dreams go down the drain.”

Extra points Cornerback Byron Maxwell’s contract ended with the Super Bowl. He is now an unrestricted free agent. …

Russell Wilson became the first quarterback to start two Super Bowls in his first three NFL seasons. The Seahawks can now begin negotiating with his agent on an extension of Wilson’s rookie contract that ends following the 2015 season. … Former Seahawks safety Kenny Easley, in the team’s Ring of Honor back in Seattle for his excellence from 1981-87, stood as an honorary captain with the Seahawks’ game captains for the coin toss. …

The Seahawks are staying the night in Phoenix before flying home Monday.

Brawl breaks out at end of the game The Associated Press

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch (24) carries the ball during the first half of NFL Super Bowl XLIX football game against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015, in Glendale, Ariz. (AP Photo/Elise

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The end of the Super Bowl was marred by a brawl in the closing seconds.

New England had just intercepted a pass in the end zone with 20 seconds left and took over at its 1-yard line. Hoping to just run out the clock, the Patriots had quarterback Tom Brady take a knee.

Instead of accepting defeat, the Seahawks tried to rush the line and get to the ball before Brady

I was protecting a teammate.

— Bruce Irvin Seahawks linebacker

could take a knee, setting off pushing and shoving from both sides.

Skirmishes broke out across the line and a couple of players hit the ground, including New England tight end Michael

Hoomanawanui, who was wrestled down by Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin.

Irvin was ejected from the game and Brady was able to kneel and run out the clock once order was restored.

“I was protecting a teammate, emotions flew,” Irvin said. “I saw somebody hit Mike Bennett, so I went and backed up my brother.

I went about it wrong. Emotions were flying high and I apologize.

But if it happened again, I would go protect my teammate. That’s just how it is.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. — When most of the world expected Marshawn Lynch to get the ball, Russell Wilson saw a formation that made passing from the 1-yard line the right call for the Seattle Seahawks with the Super Bowl on the line.

It didn’t work.

Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Wilson’s pass intended for Ricardo Lockette and made his first career interception to seal the New England Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

“I don’t know what I could have done differently,” Wilson said. “I put the blame on me.

I’m the one that gave him the ball.”

Wilson twice rallied the Seahawks (14-5) from deficits in the first half and his 3-yard touchdown pass to Doug Baldwin gave Seattle a 24-14 lead going into the fourth quarter.

But he made the biggest mistake of his career on the final pass. The interception came two weeks after Wilson threw four picks in the NFC championship game only to rally Seattle to an overtime win over Green Bay. “It definitely hurts,” Wilson said. “I hate the feeling that I’m the one who lost it. I keep my head up, though. I know that I prepare and I get ready. I know I play my heart out.”

Wilson finished 12-of-21 for 247 yards and had two TD passes. He ran for 39 yards and was sacked three times. The third-year pro will hear criticism for his final pass throughout the offseason and longer.

“I hate losing,” Wilson said.

“It was one play that he made a great play on.”

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell tried to take the blame for making the call to pass the ball with 20 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

“We sent in our personnel and they sent in goal-line (defense); it’s not the right matchup for us to run the football,” Carroll said. “So on second down, we throw the ball really to kind of waste the play. If we score, we do. If we don’t, then we’ll run it on third and fourth down. We had three wide receivers, a tight end and one back in that situation. They had extra guys at the line of scrimmage so we don’t waste a run play at that.”

Lynch powered his way to a 3-yard TD run in the first half and finished with 102 yards on 24 carries. Bevell said the clock was a factor, however.

“We wanted to use as much time as we could,” Bevell said.

“I make the calls and I wish Carroll would tell me to do something different, but we communicate, we talk and I make all the calls.”

Lynch didn’t speak to reporters, as usual. Many of his teammates supported the call, though All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner questioned it.

“We’ve got Marshawn Lynch, one of the best running backs in the league, and everybody makes their decisions and unfortunately, we didn’t give him the ball,” Wagner said.

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) tackles Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane (20) after an interception in the first quarter of the Super Bowl. Lane injured his arm on the play and had to leave the game. He did not return.

Interception proves costly

Seahawks stop Pats early, but lose Jeremy Lane for the rest of the game Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz. — Long before the miracle catch, improbable interception and the rest of what made this a wild Super Bowl, Seattle cornerback Jeremy Lane made a big play, then went down with a gruesome arm injury.

It would turn out to be an injury that had a devastating effect on the Seahawks in their 28-24 loss to New England.

The Patriots immediately went after Lane’s replacement, Tharold Simon, and beat him again and again and again. Two of Tom Brady’s touchdowns were thrown to receivers who were being defended by Simon — to Brandon LaFell and Julian Edelman. Simon also allowed a long play that set up a third touchdown.

Lane’s first career interception came in the end zone to halt a first-quarter Patriots scoring threat. As he returned the pick, he fell awkwardly on his arm when Edelman knocked him out of bounds. The arm bent at an angle that is hard to watch on replays.

Lane is in the game when Seattle is in its nickel formation. When he went down, in came Simon, a 2013 fifth-round draft pick

I’m still young. I made a lot of mistakes tonight, gave up two touchdowns.

— Tharold Simon who replaced injured cornerback Jeremy Lane in the Seahawks’ secondary.

from LSU, the 138th overall selection.

The Patriots immediately zeroed in on the 23-year-old cornerback, who did have some experience. After missing his entire rookie season beause of injury, he played in 10 games this season.

But he obviously was the weakest link in Seattle’s otherwise strong secondary.

LaFell said that, initially, he didn’t know Lane was hurt.

“Simon was out there back-to-back-to back, and I was like ‘We should take advantage of this,”’ LaFell said. “Simon is a good guy. He’s

going to be great. We’re a team that’s all predicated on finding the mismatch. We just kept finding the mismatch and kept going at it.”

Simon knew what was coming.

“It’s Tom Brady,” he said. “I’m sure he’s going to try to attack the third or fourth corner on the team. I tried to hold my ground. I thought they did a fine job of running quick routes out there.”

Although he initially said he thought he did “a fine job of doing what I was supposed to do,” he acknowledged his errors.

“I’m still young,” he said. “I made a lot of mistakes tonight, gave up two touchdowns.”

And he vowed to work to get better.

The first touchdown he allowed was an 11-yarder to LaFell, the game’s first score.

“I just knew the ball was coming,” he said. “My eyes just got caught looking in the backfield.”

The second score he allowed came with 2:02 left in the game, a 3-yard pass to Julian Edelman that gave the Patriots the lead for good.

“As a cornerback, you have two responsibilities,” Simon said. “One responsibility went away and another responsibility came. I was too late to my second responsibility.”

Seahawks’ vaunted defense fails to ‘finish’ Associated Press GLENDALE, Ariz.— It’s one of the mottos of Pete Carroll’s program. The word “Finish” is everywhere when it comes to the Seattle Seahawks, always with the idea of being the better team at the end of the game.

For a change, Seattle’s record-setting defense wilted in the fourth quarter. Instead of finishing, Seattle faded as Tom Brady and New England’s rallied.

“I think I’m going to go lock myself in my room for about two weeks. This one hurt because we had it,” Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. “We had it.”

Staked to a 10-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the best defense in the NFL could not deliver a second straight Super Bowl title for the Seahawks.

All the attention will be placed on the decision to have Russell Wilson throw from the 1-yard line in the closing seconds, resulting in Malcolm Butler’s clinching interception for New England.

But that moment became possible because Brady put together two lengthy fourth-quarter touchdown drives against a Seattle defense that late in the regular season didn’t allow a fourthquarter point in six straight games.

Seattle had the best pass defense, best total defense and best scoring defense in the NFL. The Seahawks had allowed less than 10 points per game during their eight-game win streak to close the season.

Failing in the fourth quarter was a crushing turn for a unit that had been praised for being the best of this era of the NFL. All-Pro safety Earl Thomas sat silent at his locker for more than 10 minutes in a quiet locker room.

“We’ve got to be fundamentally sound. We’re a very good fundamentally sound team but when you’re not fundamentally sound, things happen,” safety Kam Chancellor said. “Things happen and a great quarterback like Tom Brady, he’ll find it. He’ll definitely find it. We’ve got to be fundamentally sound.”

Finishing with 396 total yards and 24 points, especially against a very good defense, would normally deserve a better grade than this, but Seattle’s offense was inconsistent, doing nothing for much of the first half before putting together two late scoring drives. Obviously the play call at the end of the game will be questioned forever, but the fact remains that had the Seahawks made the necessary play to score at the end of the game, or at least not turn the ball over, we’d be having a different discussion. Jermaine Kearse’s drop at the end of the third quarter, when Seattle had momentum, also loomed large — a catch would have put the Seahawks in field goal range with a chance to go up by 13 or 17 points. Instead, Seattle wouldn’t score again.

Defense

B

Yes, this defense is held to a higher standard, because it is better.

As well as Seattle’s defense played at times, intercepting Tom Brady twice, getting pressure and forcing threeand-outs in the third quarter, the fact remains Seattle had a 10-point lead and yielded two fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Maybe we’re not talking about those scores if the offense punches it in from the 1-yard line in the final minute, but in the end, New England QB Tom Brady was the hero because the defense, which admittedly missed injured players Jeremy Lane and Cliff Avril, couldn’t get stops when it mattered most.

Special teams

B-

Not really much good or bad from Seattle on this front. Steven Hauschka made his one fieldgoal attempt, kick coverage was mostly solid, but there weren’t really any chances in the return game for Doug Baldwin or Bryan Walters. Really, neither team did much, good or bad, to decide this game on special teams.

Coaching

CASSOCIATED PRESS

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (11) catches the game-winning touchdown pass in front of Seattle Seahawks defensive back Tharold Simon (27) during Sunday’s Super Bowl.

This wasn’t the elite Seattle defense of late in the season on Sunday. Thomas and Sherman both played with injuries suffered in the NFC championship game. Chancellor injured his knee in practice on Friday and had to go through a pregame workout just to be cleared.

Then the Seahawks suffered two major losses during the game. Nickel cornerback Jeremy Lane broke his wrist after intercepting Brady in the first quarter, causing a shift in the secondary. Backup cornerback Tharold Simon was suddenly thrust into action and struggled.

Defensive end Cliff Avril suffered a concussion in the second half and Seattle’s pass rush was unable to get at Brady in the fourth quarter.

Brady was 13-for-15 passing in the final quarter

and the Patriots had 123 yards of offense.

“Those were two big injuries to core guys for us, but we ran the same plays,” Sherman said.

“We executed, even though some mistakes were made at the end. When you lose two starters, it’s going to be tough for your defense.”

The Seahawks fell to 2-6 over the past two seasons when allowing 24 or more points. Five of their six losses this season, including Sunday night, came when giving up 24 or more.

The question afterward was whether Seattle could use this loss the same way it used its 2012 playoff loss to Atlanta, which was the catalyst for the Seahawks title a year ago.

Linebacker Bobby Wagner wasn’t interested.

“I would rather learn from winning than learn from losing,” he said.

You probably want this grade to be worse, but an entire game can’t be boiled down to one very questionable play call. The fact is the Seahawks played pretty well, but not at their best, against a very good team, and had a chance to win at the end. Had the Seahawks just not shown up or looked completely out of sorts all game, that, more than one bad play call, would deserve a worse grade than this. All that being said, Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell probably never will be able to give an explanation for that last call that satisfies fans.

Also, the ugly scene following the interception, which resulted in the ejection of linebacker Bruce Irvin, reflects poorly on the coaching staff no matter how heated the situation.

New England quarterback Tom Brady holds the Vince Lombardi trophy aloft after Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday. The Patriots beat Seattle 28-24, and Brady won the Most Valuable Player award for the third time.

Brady wins 3rd MVP Patriots QB ties childhood hero Montana for all-time record

By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

GLENDALE, Ariz. — As a kid, years before he became a pretty good quarterback in his own right, Tom Brady idolized Joe Montana.

Now, at age 37, Brady owns just as many Super Bowl championships — and just as many Super Bowl MVP awards — as the Pro Football Hall of Famer.

And no QB in history has more.

Brady completed 37 of 50 passes for 328 yards with four touchdown passes, each to a different receiver, including an 8-for-8, 65-yard bit of perfection on the drive that led to the go-ahead score with about 2 minutes left Sunday night.

That performance, and a victory-clinching interception by rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler, lifted the New England Patriots to a 28-24 comeback victory over the defending champion Seattle Seahawks in a Super Bowl with a slow start and a “Whoa!” finish.

This was not Brady at his best throughout.

He threw two interceptions, including one deep in Seattle territory in the first quarter, and another in the third that led to points for the Seahawks.

That’s part of why the Patriots trailed 24-14 in the fourth quarter, before Brady got the comeback going.

“It wasn’t the way we drew it up.

Certainly, throwing a couple of picks didn’t help,” said Brady, who broke Peyton Manning’s Super Bowl record of 34 completions set last year. “It was a lot of mental toughness. Our team has had it all year. We never doubted each other, so that’s what it took. That was a great football team we beat.

I’m just so happy for our team.”

And to think, back in late September, folks were writing off Brady, saying his best days were long behind him, especially right after a 41-14 loss at Kansas City that dropped the Patriots to 2-2.

“Every team has a journey,” Brady said Sunday, “and a lot of people lost faith in us early. But we held strong. We held together.”

Decades ago, sitting in his family’s season-ticket seats at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park while growing up, Brady would wear a No. 16 jersey, just like Montana, and cheer for his favorite player’s team.

Brady did a fairly good impression of Joe Cool against Seattle.

He connected with Danny Amendola for a 4-yard touchdown with about 8 minutes left.

That gave Brady 12 TD passes in Super Bowls, breaking Montana’s mark. T hen, with 2:02 to go, Brady hit Julian Edelman from 3 yards for TD toss No. 13 in Super Bowls — and, more importantly, the lead.

“Tom’s the best ever,” Edelman said.

Brady turned to New England’s sideline, pointed, then raised his right fist, his white jersey stained green from the turf.

Only after Butler grabbed Russell Wilson’s pass from the 1-yard line in the final half-minute could Brady really begin to celebrate, leaping up and down on the sideline and embracing coach Bill Belichick.

Now Brady, Montana and Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers are the only starting quarterbacks to earn four Super Bowl rings.

At the outset of Brady’s career after being a sixth-round draft pick, he and Belichick combined to win three championships in a four-year span, in the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowls. Brady was the MVP in the first two of those.

But Sunday’s victory ended a decade title drought, after losses in the big games in 2008 and 2012, both times against the New York Giants.

“Well, it’s been a long journey.

I’ve been at it for 15 years and we’ve had a couple of tough losses in this game,” Brady said. “This one came down to the end, and this time, we made the plays.”

From zero to hero for Pats’ Butler

By Craig Hill The News Tribune

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Seattle Seahawks were dethroned and Malcolm Butler became a Super Bowl legend because the undrafted rookie cornerback trusted his instincts.

With Seattle one yard away from taking the lead and likely defending their title, Butler stepped in front of a Russell Wilson pass intended for Ricardo Lockette with 20 seconds to play. The interception sealed a 28-24 win for New England.

He knew something was up when the Seahawks stacked receivers on his side of the field.

“I saw Wilson looking over there,” Butler said.

“He kept his head still and just looked over there. So that gave me a clue, and the stacked receivers. I just knew they were going to throw. My instinct, I just went with it, just went with my mind and made the play.”

Patriots coach Bill Belichick pointed out after the game that it’s “a long way from West Alabama to

the NFL.” And it’s even farther to Super Bowl hero.

Butler wasn’t drafted but earned a tryout with the Patriots. Belichick called him one of “the few, the proud, the free.”

He made the team and continued to impress coaches, steadily earning more playing time. “From OTAs (organized team activities) to minicamps, he had the most picks of anybody,” said Patriots defensive back Brandon Browner. “He showed the best ball skills of anyone.”

But during the season, he started just one game and didn’t have an interception until Sunday.

He sat out most of the first half Sunday but was ready when he went back in.

“I just didn’t want to be the reason that (we lost the game),” he said. “I just went out there and played football, played the best I could to help my team.

He deflected three passes, had three tackles and by the fourth quarter Belichick said he felt as if

“Butler had the hot hand.”

So he left him on the field.

And Butler knew as long as he was out there, Wilson was going to try to pick on him.

“I’m pretty sure he knows I’m a rookie,” Butler said. “And who wouldn’t try a rookie. I was ready.”

Moments before the big play, he was involved in another that looked as if it was going to tilt the game in the other direction.

Wilson launched a deep pass to Jermaine Kearse.

Despite good coverage from Butler, Kearse made a bobbling 33-yard catch while lying on his back.

“I just had a jump ball on that play,” Butler said.

“I made a great play on the ball and when I deflected it, it remained in his hands.

Just like any other play, I feel like the game was on me if we lost, but we had another play.”

The Patriots had seen this before. The New York Giants had twice rallied for Super Bowl titles with drive sparked by big catches.

Both times, the Patriots didn’t have a player stand up to make the game-saving play.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — After winning his fourth Super Bowl as a head coach, there was a long list of things New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick did not want to talk about.

He did not want to talk about any of his individual achievements from the 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. And that list is considerable. He matched Chuck Noll as the winningest coach in Super Bowl history.

He extended his postseason record wins to 22. He joined Don Shula with six Super Bowl appearances as a head coach and tied Dan Reeves with nine overall appearances as player or coach.

He also did not want to talk about if New England’s four titles in 14 seasons constitute a dynasty.

He certainly didn’t want to second-guess the Seattle Seawhawks’ pass that was intercepted at the goal line in the closing seconds.

And he absolutely wasn’t revisiting Deflategate.

But for all those items off the table, there was plenty he wanted to say in an opening statement that ran more than two minutes, starting with a tribute to his team, winding into a tribute to coach Pete Carroll and the Seahawks, and ending with a warm nod to his parents.

“I just want to start off saying that I couldn’t be prouder of this team,” were the first words out of his mouth. “These guys who have been counted out many times by a lot of people, but they always believed in themselves and they just kept fighting.”

Those doubters were especially intense after the Patriots fell to 2-2 with a 41-14 loss at Kansas City before a national TV audience.

However, Belichick cited that as the game when he came to realize this team was special.

“We weren’t having a good day, but we kept fighting,” he said. “It wasn’t going well on the road but we battled them all the way to the end of the game. We weren’t close to winning, but the competitiveness was there.”

Belichick also extended the kind words he had for the Seahawks in the days leading up to the game.

“My hat’s off to Seattle,” he said. “The game couldn’t have been any closer that it was. They’re a great football team that (was) within a year or so, or a few seconds — however you want to look at it — of winning a second title. … I have all the respect in the world for them.”

Extra points The Patriots became the sixth team to win four or more Super Bowls. … New England prevented the Seahawks from being the first back-to-back champions since the Patriots did it in 2004 and ’05. … Super Bowl teams trailing by double digits at the start of the fourth quarter were 0-29 until New England’s come-from-behind victory. … All six of the Patriots’ Super Bowls under Belichick have been decided by either three or four points. … Six of the last seven Super Bowls overall have been decided by six points or fewer. … The team in white jerseys have won 10 of the last 11 Super Bowls.

had Seattle at the New England 1 with 20 seconds left. The Seahawks trailed 28-24 but had one time out remaining.

One yard from winning it all. Again.

Instead, Seattle’s Comeback Kid passed one too many times. Wilson intended to hit No. 3 wide receiver Ricardo Lockette on a slant route. But New England’s Malcolm Butler cut off Lockette, who didn’t fight through his cover man to the ball. Butler intercepted it at the goal line to end the Seahawks’ season with a 28-24 loss Sunday in a crazy, dramatic Super Bowl 49 at University of Phoenix Stadium.

When it was over, when the confetti was red and blue this time instead of the green and blue of last season, Carroll and Wilson just looked at each other.

Coach and quarterback needn’t say a word.

“Trying to realize the gravity of what we just witnessed,” Carroll said. “We didn’t say very much.”

Lynch was one of the first out Seattle’s locker room, hugging friends and signing to himself in a black-and-gold outfit as he walked a stadium tunnel following an ending they’ll be talking about around Puget Sound until the salmon stop running.

“I put the blame on me,” Wilson said. “I’m the one who threw the ball.

“Just when it left my hand I thought ‘Game over.’

I hate feeling like I’m the one who lost it, in a way.

“I’m so proud of our guys for making the plays at the end.”

Except for the last one.

After using the run by Lynch to bleed the clock inside 30 seconds so masterful Tom Brady wouldn’t have time to rally New England yet again, Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell sent out three wide receivers to the right in a bunch formation. The idea, Carroll and Bevell said, was to spread out the Patriots’ goal-line defense, pass on second down to either score or be incomplete, then have third and fourth downs to run or pass against a presumably softer inside, less goal-line stand of a defense.

“It was a great look, the look we wanted to get,” Bevell said.

But when Wilson threw his 21st and final pass of the tense night, Butler jumped the slant route by Lockette like he knew it was coming.

“I saw Wilson looking over there (toward Lockette). He kept his head still and just looked over there, so that gave me a clue,” Butler said. “And the stacked receivers, I just knew they were going to throw.

“My instincts, I just went with it. Just went with my mind and made the play.”

Bevell implied that Lockette didn’t exactly sprint back to the ball to prevent the killer turnover. “(Butler) drove hard on the ball,” Bevell said. “Our guys have to go hard to the ball, too.”

The jump ball that Jermaine Kearse tapped to himself, put between his legs then cradled at the New England 5 with 1:06 left had Seattle poised for their second consecutive miraculous comeback, and Wilson 15th career fourthquarter rally to victory.

But game Most Valuable Player Tom Brady’s four touchdown passes with a Super Bowl-record 37 completions in 50 throws trumped Wilson 12 completions for 247 yards, Lynch’s 102 yards rushing with a touchdown, former Canadian League receiver Chris Matthews almost-MVP breakout. And it ruined the 24-14 lead Seattle (14-5) took into the final, frantic period.

The Seahawks were denied becoming the eighth franchise ever and first team since the 2003-04

“In retrospect, we could have easily run it — and we wouldn’t be talking about this.”

New England (15-4) gained 147 of game’s first 169 yards and had nine of the initial 10 first downs.

But Jeremy Lane’s endzone interception of Brady late in the first quarter on which the nickel back broke his arm kept the Patriots

NFLx1xCONTxN

ahead only 7-0 early.

The Seahawks’ scored 17 unanswered points from the end of the first half into the fourth quarter. Matthews’ leaping, twisting, 11-yard touchdown, Steven Hauschka’s 27-yard field goal Matthews set up with another jumping, 45-yard grab and Doug Baldwin’s 3-yard touchdown catch on which he shrewdly sent

the man covering him, New England’s Darrelle Revis, into the umpire official on a route across the end zone made it 24-14 Seattle entering the final quarter.

Brady brought New England back with a third and 14 completion to Julian Edelman for 21 yards, despite a hit by Kam Chancellor that spun Edelman around.

Brady to Danny

Amendola from 4 yards out, Brady’s NFL-record 12th Super Bowl touchdown, got New England within 24-21 with 8 minutes left.

Brady set a Super Bowl record with his 36th completion while moving New England inside the Seahawks 5. Then Brady threw his fourth touchdown pass, to Edelman, giving the Patriots a 28-24 lead.

Carroll also took blame for the final, fateful decision that will haunt him all spring, summer and beyond.

“We could have run it and got stuffed. We could have run it and scored. We could have scored against their goal-line (D), as well,” Carroll said. “It just wasn’t a great football thought at the time.

2006. Yet with one yard standing between the Seahawks and a Lombardi Trophy, with running back Marshawn Lynch in the backfield next to quarterback Russell Wilson, with 26 seconds remaining to be played, three downs and a timeout remaining, Bevell called a pass play because the Patriots had a goal-line package in to stop the run.

Running would have meant asking six blockers — the line plus tight end Luke Willson — to beat seven defenders at the line of scrimmage, plus a safety who would have come crashing down, not an easy task. But not an impossible one with Lynch in the backfield. Instead, Wilson threw a quick pass to Ricardo Lockette, and Patriots rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler made a great play to jump the route, out-muscling Lockette for the ball and the game-clinching interception.

One yard, and this is a story about another amazing Wilson comeback, or about Carroll owning two Super Bowl rings and two AP national championships. Or about the unlikely star turn for Seahawks rookie receiver Chris Matthews, who had never caught an NFL pass before Sunday, when he had four catches for 109 yards and a touchdown.

Or about that insane circus catch from Jermaine Kearse two plays before the fateful interception. Or about another big postseason performance from Lynch.

Instead this was a game about Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady winning their fourth ring together, and about a resilient team overcoming a 10-point deficit by scoring two fourth-quarter touchdowns against the best defense in the NFL. And yes, it’s about that play-call.

I rarely, if ever, am critical of play calls, because it’s

ludicrous to assume I know more about this game than the coaches making the decisions. But I, like so many others, just can’t wrap my head around that decision.

Carroll was asked over and over about the play, and over and over he explained that their personnel didn’t match up well with New England’s to run on that play. His thought was that a pass, if not a touchdown, would “kind of waste that play” then they could run on later downs.

“If we score, we do, if we don’t, then we’ll run it on third and fourth down, really with no second thoughts or no hesitation in that at all,” Carroll said.

“And unfortunately, with the play that we tried to execute, the guy makes a great play and jumps in front of the route and makes an incredible play that nobody would ever think he could do.”

Bevell said the call was something he felt “really comfortable with,” but he also on multiple occasions suggested that Lockette could have “done a better job staying strong through the ball.”

But even if that’s the right call on paper, the right decision against New England’s personnel, it’s not the right call if the team’s third receiver — fourth before Paul Richardson’s injury — isn’t fighting for the ball the way his coach wanted.

Lynch pounding in the go-ahead score, or perhaps Wilson scoring on a keeper, seemed so inevitable that reporters in the press box were questioning why New England wasn’t using its timeouts. Or even if the Patriots should let Seattle score to get the ball back with some time left on the clock. But instead New England won a classic because the Seahawks couldn’t get that one last yard.

Wilson tried to put the blame on himself, noting, “I’m the one who threw it,” but as deep as Butler was when Wilson threw it, it’s hard to question the accuracy of the throw or the decision. Instead, you

have to give Butler credit for making a great play in a moment where, “I knew they were going to throw it. ... We knew they were going to throw the ball.”

And also wonder why Wilson and Lockette were put in a situation where something like that could happen when Lynch, who hadn’t been stopped for a loss all game, could have had two or three cracks at the end zone from a yard out.

One yard to immortality, and the player teammates refer to as the “heart and soul” of the offense wasn’t involved in the play that decided the Super Bowl.

Most Seahawks accurately pointed out that the game isn’t won or lost on one play. If the defense gets a stop, Seattle wins. If Kearse doesn’t drop a perfectly thrown pass on third down late in the third quarter, Seattle likely gets at least a field goal and keeps momentum.

Or on the flip side, if that crazy catch by Kearse instead hits the ground, Seattle maybe doesn’t get near the end zone.

But some Seahawks were left scratching their heads like the rest of us.

“I don’t know,” linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “We’ve got Marshawn Lynch one of the best running backs in the league and everybody makes their decisions and unfortunately we didn’t give him the ball.”

Linebacker Bruce Irvin, who was part of an ugly skirmish as New England was kneeling out the clock, was also baffled by the play call, saying, “We had it. I don’t understand how you don’t give it to the best back in the league on not even the 1-yard line. We were on the half-yard line and we throw a slant. I don’t know what the offense had going on, what they saw. I just don’t understand.”

Irvin’s not alone there. The play that defined this Super Bowl classic, at least from a Seahawks standpoint, was very hard to understand.
