Relief donation deadline extended

BOTHELL — Someone spraypainted a swastika and the words “get out” on their house of worship. They responded with a message of love.

Members from the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center arrived Sunday morning to find the hateful words and symbol scrawled on a temple wall.

“The people who did it, they have no idea what we stand for,” said Nit Niranjan, chairman of the temple’s board of trustees.

“We have a very straightforward religion that stands for love and respect.”

Ironically, Hindus employed the swastika as a symbol of wellbeing and good fortune long before the Nazis appropriated it

in 20th century Germany.

The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the vandalism, spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. No suspects have been identified.

Bothell police are investigating similar graffiti reported Sunday morning at Skyview Junior High School, about three blocks away, police Sgt. Cedric Collins said.

The two swastikas found there were accompanied by messages targeting a different faith: “Muslims go home” and “Muslims get out.” Like the writing at the Hindu temple, the anti-Muslim writing at the school was in red paint.

By midday Monday, a devotee from the temple had painted over the graffiti. Preparations were in full swing for Maha Shivaratri, a religious celebration

expected to draw hundreds of people to the temple on the corner of 212th Street SE and 39th Avenue, east of Bothell.

The annual festival pays tribute to the deity Shiva on the day he was married to Parvati, the Hindu goddess of love and fertility.

This wasn’t the first time the temple has been targeted with graffiti.

It also happened several months ago, though that time there was no specific message, said Bhargavi Kumar, secretary of the temple’s board of trustees.

“It’s outrageous,” Kumar said.

“We’d love to know who did it.”

The temple received calls and emails of support Sunday and Monday. A banner affixed to a utility pole down the street proclaimed: “We Stand With The

County Executive John Lovick, the former county sheriff, learned about the graffiti Sunday from his daughter, who saw it on her way to a nearby church.

“This is a welcoming community and a thriving community and we’re not going to let that kind of hatred survive,” he said.

In November, a separate religious community in southeast Snohomish County was shocked by what many viewed as a targeted attack. Vandals destroyed Muslim headstones and memorials at the Islamic Cemetery of the Bosniaks in the Maltby area.

Sheriff ’s deputies at the time said there wasn’t enough evidence to prove the act of desecration was a hate crime.

ARLINGTON — The Cascade Valley Hospital Foundation plans to accept donations for Oso mudslide relief at least until the end of June.

That’s a six-month extension on the original cut-off date, allowing people to donate around the first anniversary of the disaster.

As the anniversary approaches, millions of dollars have been collected, and organizations handling the money have promised detailed updates on what’s been spent and where.

They still are working to distribute hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of the nonprofits involved in the slide relief efforts have stopped taking new checks, while others don’t have a deadline.

March 22 will mark one year since the slide killed 43 people.

The hospital foundation’s board of directors felt it was important to accept donations from people who want to note the date by giving, spokeswoman Heather Logan said.

The foundation had planned to stop taking donations by the end of January, but the board decided last week to extend the deadline until June 30.

They’ll reassess this spring whether to keep accepting donations. The foundation also raises money for community health projects, such as free mammograms and public health fairs.

People have donated more than $2 million through the foundation to help families affected by the slide, Logan said. The bulk of the money went toward housing help for those displaced.

Singer-songwriter Lesley Gore dies

Lady Gaga is engaged

By Mark Kennedy

Associated Press

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Lady Gaga is no longer caught in a bad romance: She’s engaged to actor Taylor Kinney.

The pop star shared the news on her Instagram account Monday.

She posted a photo of a ring on her finger and wrote: “He gave me his heart on Valentine’s Day, and I said YES!” Lady Gaga and Kinney met on the set of her “You & I” video in 2011.

Kinney stars in the NBC series “Chicago Fire” and had a role in the film “Zero Dark Thirty.”

Lady Gaga’s hits include “Poker Face,” “Bad Romance” and “Applause.” She recently won her sixth Grammy Award and will perform at the Academy Awards.

NEW YORK — Singersongwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 at age 16 with her epic song of teenage angst, “It’s My Party,” and followed it up with the hits “Judy’s Turn to Cry,” and the feminist anthem “You Don’t Own Me,” died Monday.

She was 68.

Gore died of lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.

“She was a wonderful human being — caring, giving, a great feminist, great woman, great human being, great humanitarian,” Sasson, a jewelry designer, told The Associated Press.

GOLD HILL, Ore. — Gold Hill resident Larry Holm was about to take his dogs on a morning walk when he felt a tightness in his chest that worsened into a crushing sensation.

“I thought, ‘Man, I’m having a heart attack,’” said the former teacher who taught in Central Point schools for more than 20 years.

Sweating and feeling increasingly disoriented, Holm managed to dial 911 and tell the woman who

answered he was having a heart attack and where he lived.

As he sat on his house steps, his protective German shepherd Luna and affectionate Labrador retriever Rio grew increasingly agitated.

“My shepherd starting barking like crazy, and my Lab put her head on my shoulder and she started crying,” Holm said.

He felt himself drifting away.

“I was going down. I thought, ‘OK. I’m going to the other side.’ I figured I wouldn’t make it,” Holm said.

He remembers thinking it wouldn’t be such a bad way to die — accompanied by two of his best friends who loved him.

His dogs, however, had other ideas. They both kept urgently licking his face.

“They kept me alert and

going,” he said. “I credit them with saving my life.”

Paramedics were able to rush Holm to Rogue Regional Medical Center in Medford, where a whole team was ready to treat the 68-year-old.

Dr. Todd Kotler, the interventional cardiologist who treated Holm, said speed is crucial in treating heart attack victims.

Emergency medical personnel who make a correct heart attack diagnosis in the field are able to alert the hospital in advance so the emergency room, cardiologist and heart catheterization team are ready to go.

Dozens of people are activated to focus on the single task of helping the patient, he said.

“With treatment of heart attacks, the key is to get the blocked coronary artery open again as quickly

as possible,” Kotler said.

“Heart attacks occur when coronary arteries become abruptly closed off. Heart muscle starts dying. The key is to restore blood flow as quickly as possible.”

Once blockages are identified, they can be opened with a stent, he said.

Restoring blood flow quickly leads to less damage to the heart muscle and a quicker recovery for the patient, Kotler said.

He said it was fortunate Holm recognized he was having a heart attack.

“He knew exactly what was happening and called 911,” Kotler said.

Holm said he was impressed by the care he received.

“When I got to the hospital, they were lined up and ready to go. They are all top-notch,” he said.

“They’ve got it figured out.

You can’t find a better group from top to bottom.”

Holm is now on the mend from his October heart attack after attending a series of cardiac rehabilitation sessions. He said

he feels lucky he had the heart attack because doctors discovered he has an aneurysm, or ballooning of a blood vessel. Future surgery will fix the problem before the vessel bursts.

Active his whole life, Holm is back to walking Rio and Luna four mornings a week. One of their favorite places to go is a Gold Hill park that fronts the Rogue River.

He said the pair saved him once before when they were all on a walk and an aggressive, 120-pound dog came barreling toward them. At first Rio and Luna hid behind his legs, but then his German shepherd jumped out and crashed chest-to-chest into the oncoming dog.

The dog grabbed her by the neck, which prompted the Lab to dart out and grab the aggressor’s legs.

All the animals survived the melee, and Holm was left with a different view of his otherwise gentle pets’ personalities.

“It told me these dogs will protect me,” he said.

‘Speedy’ courthouse plans seem parked The parking issue has thrown an expensive wrench into an already tightly budgeted project.

By Noah Haglund Herald Writer

EVERETT — It’s been two weeks since Snohomish County leaders vowed to find a speedy resolution to a parking fiasco

threatening plans for a new courthouse.

No breakthrough appeared imminent by the end of last week, but all sides said they’re still talking.

Discussions continue. They could determine whether the $162 million, eight-story justice center gets built, moves to some other spot or is abandoned at great expense.

“The key to moving forward is to stick to the budget,” County

Council Chairman Dave Somers said Friday.

Somers and other council colleagues have insisted that Executive John Lovick give them a recommendation on how he thinks the county should proceed.

The current crisis stems from the Everett City Council’s emergency vote in December to add new parking requirements in the downtown business district where the justice center would be

built. While the old rules imposed no parking requirements on the county’s plans, the new ones require more than 300 spaces for the building.

County leaders said it would cost up to $45 million to build a garage with that much space — and effectively kill a project with an already strained budget.

The proposed building also would take out an existing lot with more than 130 parking stalls used by patrons of Xfinity Arena,

which is just across the street.

The county claims the new building would create no new parking demands because it would only replace the 1967 courthouse, which is across Wall Street and a block to the west.

Earlier, the county discussed putting parking in the footprint of the old courthouse after it’s demolished. That no longer appears practical, because See COURTHOUSE, Page A4

calls its traffic calming program in 2012, when the blinking signs that use radar to track drivers’ speeds were installed along Olympic Avenue and Olympic View Drive.

“We’ve had a positive response to those,” Hauss said.

The program is considered a success when 85 percent of drivers are going below the speed limit, he said. Six months after the signs were installed, speeds typically had declined 8

MARYSVILLE — The people behind the Red Curtain Arts Center had thought they’d found a permanent home.

That’s no longer the case, after the group failed to raise enough money to buy the building it had been renting from Dunn Lumber Co. “We’re on a month-to-month rental right now,” said Beckye Randall, board member for the nonprofit Red Curtain Foundation.

“We do still consider this our home, but obviously that can be gone at any time,” Randall said.

Red Curtain puts on arts classes and performances, and also rents out the space to other groups.

It’s the only facility of its kind in Marysville.

The foundation successfully raised $27,000 in an online campaign in early 2014 to bring the former storefront at 1410 Grove St, up to code so it could open to the public.

They had hoped to have had a longer run.

In December, Dunn Lumber notified the group that it would be putting the building on the market when the lease expired Feb. 1.

Dunn gave the group an opportunity to buy it for $1 million, well below its appraised value of $2.6 million, but Red Curtain had to come up with $120,000 to make the down payment.

The group raised $70,000 from business and community groups, then turned again to an online fundraiser to try to raise the next $50,000.

The online fundraiser only made about $8,700. Another $3,200 in donations came in through off-line channels, Randall said.

Dunn is letting the arts center remain until the building is sold, which helps, but also makes it difficult to program any events over the longer term.

The center’s production of Agatha Christie’s “Spider’s Web” is still on for its Feb. 20-March 1 run, but beyond that, it gets murky, Randall said.

Red Curtain has in the past run events at various locations around Everett and Marysville, but will now need to find space for events

BOTHELL — A Bothell veteran is being honored for fighting to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. After more than 70 years, the Consulate General of France plans to recognize Jack Van Eaton as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, the country’s highest accolade. Van Eaton is to receive the award Tuesday, his 91st birthday.

“I’m honored but remorseful that others who deserve it aren’t going to get

this honor,” he said.

Van Eaton said he endured “hell on earth” but it was nothing compared to what his fellow soldiers and the people in Europe went through.

Van Eaton was a machine gunner in the U.S. Army for almost three years.

He was on the front lines, fending off attackers and chasing Germans out of occupied territory. It was freezing cold and their packs were heavy.

In January 1945, near the end of the Battle of the Bulge, he was wounded in See VETERAN, Page A4

William “Bill” Lyn Sager

Sep. 27, 1925-Feb. 8, 2015 Bill Sager, 89, of Everett, was called home by his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Sunday, February 8, 2015.

Born in Edmond, Kansas to William Ernest and Margarite Sager, on September 27, 1925, he left the plains of the Midwest as a young man to e n te r m i l i t a r y s e r v i c e during WWII, later to settle in the richly forested Northwest where he worked many years “in the woods” a s a f a l l e r. H e w a s a l s o e mp l oye d a s a c a rp e n te r with Snohomish County.

Bill was proud of having been a Seaman 1st Class in the Navy from 1942 to 1946. While on-board the USS Lunga Point (CVE-94), his duties included service throughout the South Pacific and Japan. Being a part of the military never left Bill. He was a member of the VFW (Life), American Legion and Fleet Reserve Association.

Flying airplanes became one of Bill’s many interests. He flew all over the country for pleasure and business. One of his most memorable trips was a cross-country flight in the mid-60’s with his wife, Margaret visiting friends and relatives. The couple also liked taking to the road to to u r t h e c o u n t r y i n t h e i r motor home.

O t h e r l e i s u r e t i m e adventures included growing vegetable gardens, putting his carpentry skills to work, and reading. When he wasn’t flying an airplane or driving through the countryside, Bill would say, “By reading books, I can go any place in the world.”

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, loving wife, Margaret; and sisters, Wilma Deibert and Betty Custine.

Surviving are children, Chris Wood (Butch, deceased), Bill G. Sager (Theresa), Marilee Combs (Jeff); step-daughter, Nancy Andes (Rober t); sisters, Ruth Hyde, Linda Brown, and Margaret Mattlock; 16 g r a n d c h i l d r e n , 31 g r e a t g r a n d c h i l d r e n ; n u m e ro u s nieces and nephews.

A private family graveside service will be held at C y p r e s s L aw n C e m e t e r y, Everett, Monday, Februar y 16, 2015 at 2 p.m.

A memorial of Bill’s life will be shared by friends and family at 3 p.m. at Pinehurst Baptist Church, 1902 Madison, Everett. Fellowship to follow.

Memorials may be made by sending flowers and/or financial donations to Pinehurst Baptist Church or by donating to a charity of choice.

Then the driver steered left back onto the roadway and over-steered right, causing the bus to rotate broadside

The driver said the brakes failed. The muffler also had come loose earlier on the trip and had to be refastened, troopers said.

“Our orders were to hold the line at all costs,” he said. “Now, that’s not a happy line because ‘at all costs’ means don’t move — no matter how dead you are.”

A month later he was shot in the leg as his regiment advanced into Germany. A rifle shot had gone through a tree and hit the buckle on his combat boot. The bullet lodged in his leg between the bone and a tendon. A piece of metal was stuck into his leg.

“I consider that my lifesaver,” he said, pulling the piece of metal and the .30-caliber bullet from his pocket.

After he was shot, he was taken from the battlefield to a field hospital for an operation. He then went to Paris to recover with other wounded soldiers while he waited to be transferred to England.

Van Eaton remembers the joy of the people in the streets near London’s Piccadilly Circus when the Allies declared victory.

Months later, he boarded a ship bound for New York.

“I called my sweetheart and said ‘I’m on American soil,’ ” he said. “It was one of my happiest days.”

Carol was a California girl who had written him letters during the war.

They met at Graceland University in Iowa before he enlisted.

“I requested an introduction to this darkhaired girl with a beautiful smile,” he recalled.

He and Carol had both failed algebra. Rather than dating, they came to know each other through math tutoring sessions.

But after a semester of college, Van Eaton, a native of Saskatchewan, Canada, signed up to fight for U.S. forces.

up on feeding his daughter, I thought, ‘I better get a job,’ ” Van Eaton said.

He found work with the Los Angeles Fire Department and retired 29 years later as a captain. He and Carol raised a daughter who became a nurse and a son who also became a firefighter. Van Eaton has nine grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

He still serves as a commissioner for Snohomish County Fire District 10.

Carol died in March 2013. Van Eaton’s boyish blue eyes still light up when he talks about her. He carries the same photo of her that he had in his pocket during the war. This past Wednesday would have marked their 69th wedding anniversary.

For many years after the war, Van Eaton avoided reunions for veterans. He didn’t want to talk about it. It wasn’t until he started going that he decided to share his experiences.

“We never heard anything before that,” said

Van Eaton’s daughter, Anita Sumpter, also of Bothell. “Dad has a way of telling stories so they’re humourous but you also know it’s serious.”

He tells of once winning a bet with other GIs in occupied Germany. As the story goes, he jumped a barbed-wire fence, grabbed a horse’s mane, swung his leg over and mounted the old nag.

“Dang, it came to life,” he said. “I got my 40 bucks without a buck at all.”

In earnestness, Van Eaton is thankful for the French men and women who helped hide the troops during the war.

Now, the French Consulate plans to express the country’s gratitude to Van Eaton, with the nation’s highest honor.

“This is a way for France to recognize these men and thank them for what they did 70 years ago,” said Jack Cowan, the honorary consul of France for Washington state.

Van Eaton will join the ranks as a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor on Tuesday in Kenmore.

“Chevalier, you know, that’s like a knight,” Van Eaton said, smiling. “I’ve decided the only time people need to call me sir is when I’m riding a white stallion.”

The mayor in January said he was surprised to learn that the county only

planned to include 30 to 40 restricted parking spaces in the new building.

“I have talked with City Council members and county staff and I’m positive that we will come to a solution that will satisfy the city of Everett and the county,” County Councilman Brian Sullivan said.

The county has spent $7 million so far, more than half of that to buy out a half-dozen properties in the proposed footprint. Other expenses

include architectural and legal contracts.

One of the problems with trying to back out now is the $75 million in bonds the county took out for the project in 2013. Paying off interest obligations, even if the county never spends a cent on actual construction, could add many more millions to the cost of pulling out.

“I decided I’d better ask that girl to marry me if I came home in one piece,” he said. “Now, I wouldn’t recommend that approach to very many people. But it worked.”

Top labor official arrives

Billions of dollars of cargo are backed up at West Coast ports

By Justin Pritchard Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — LOS ANGELES — The nation’s top labor official flew Monday to California in an attempt to resolve a damaging contract dispute between West Coast dockworkers and their employers.

U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez headed for San Francisco, where monthslong negotiations between the dockworkers union and a maritime association of companies have come to a halt.

So, too, has the movement of billions of dollars of cargo that

is supposed to pass through 29 seaports from Southern California to Seattle. The ports are a critical trade link with Asia and the gateway not just for imports such as electronics, household goods and clothing but also U.S. exports including produce and meat.

Starting Saturday, companies locked out workers who would load or unload ships, saying they would not pay weekend or holiday wage premiums to crews they accuse of intentionally slowing work to gain bargaining leverage.

As a result, cranes that would otherwise be moving containers onto dockside yards were

raised up, stationary and eerily quiet on normally bustling waterfronts.

Dockworkers deny slowing down and say they want to work.

Full port operations are supposed to resume Tuesday, when Perez is scheduled to attend negotiations — his first, and the two sides’ first discussions since Friday. Perez already has been in touch by phone with representatives of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents the shipping lines that carry cargo and the terminal operators that handle

it once the ships dock.

For now, those massive vessels are lined up outside the ports, laden with imports that are now delayed by weeks.

Cargo congestion at the coast’s largest ports predated the contract dispute, though the problems were nothing like those now seen. Congestion worsened in the fall, which is when the maritime association says dockworkers began slowing down. The union blames the slow movement of cargo on larger problems with the supply chain, including a shortage of truck beds to carry containers from dockside yards to distribution warehouses.

West Virginia train derailment causes massive fire, evacuations Associated Press A train carrying more than 100 tankers of crude oil derailed in southern West Virginia on Monday, sending at least one into the Kanawha River, igniting at least 14 tankers and sparking a house fire, officials said.

One person was being treated for potential inhalation issues, but no other injuries were reported, according to a news release from CSX, the train company. Nearby residents were told to evacuate as state emergency response and environmental officials headed to the scene about 30 miles southeast of Charleston.

The state was under a winter storm warning and getting heavy snowfall at times, with as much as 5 inches in some places. It’s not clear if the weather had anything to do with the derailment, which occurred about 1:20 EST along a flat stretch of rail.

As federal railway and hazardous materials officials were heading to the scene, the company said it’s still investigating what caused the train to come off the tracks.

Public Safety spokesman Lawrence Messina said responders at the scene reported one tanker and possibly another went into the river. Messina said local emergency responders were having trouble getting to the house that caught fire.

Kanawha County Manager Jennifer Sayre said a reported 14 to 17 tankers caught fire or exploded.

James Bennett, 911 coordinator for Fayette County, said a couple of hundred families were evacuated as a precaution.

The rail company said it’s still sorting out many specifics in its response.

“CSX teams also are working with first responders to address the fire, to determine how many rail cars derailed, and to deploy environmental protective and monitoring measures on land, air and in the nearby Kanawha River,” CSX spokesman Gary Sease said in a news release.

The fire continued burning along a hillside Monday evening, and small fires could be seen on the river.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Snow swirled sideways in Kentucky and the typically bustling state capital of Frankfort came to a frozen halt Monday as a storm walloped parts of the South, which unlike the Northeast, had been mostly spared this winter.

That all changed with a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain across the region, making roads treacherous and knocking out power to thousands of people. Luckily, the storm arrived on a holiday, Presidents Day, when many schools and businesses were already closed and the morning commute was not as busy.

False warning panics airport passengers LOS ANGELES — About 20 passengers fled through emergency doors and onto the tarmac at a Los Angeles International Airport terminal Monday after someone incorrectly said an armed man was on the loose, authorities said.

The “misinformed announcement” near a boarding area apparently stemmed from a police pursuit of an unarmed driver that ended outside Terminal 2, LAX Police Sgt. Belinda Joseph said.

Police responded to an emergency call around 9 a.m. reporting that a man might be trying to commit suicide. They apprehended the man, and the fire department took him to a hospital for treatment of an unspecified condition.

Travelers who fled outside were “under observation the whole time” they were near planes, and officers got things under control within 15 minutes, Joseph said.

N.Carolina: Muslim deaths A grand jury in North Carolina indicted a man Monday on three counts of murder in the shootings of three young Muslims in what authorities have said was a dispute over parking spaces.

A grand jury in Durham County handed up the indictments Monday for Craig Hicks, 46. Others who lived nearby said Hicks had frequent problems with where people parked in the complex near the University of North Carolina.

Detroit: GM death toll rises The death toll linked to crashes involving General Motors cars with defective ignition switches has climbed to 56. The new total, which is four more than last week, was posted Monday on an Internet site by compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg.

N.J.: $300M book donation Princeton University says it has received the largest donation in its history, a collection of rare books and manuscripts valued at nearly $300 million. The Ivy League university announced Monday the gift was left by 1936 graduate William Scheide, who died last November at 100. The 2,500-volume collection includes the first six printed editions of the Bible, an original printing of the Declaration of Independence and Beethoven’s autographed music sketchbook.

D.C.: Monument shorter Patriots stood tall for America on Monday in celebration of George Washington’s birthday. But the monument that bears his name measured about 10 inches smaller than had been thought.

The latest measurements of the Washington Monument were announced Monday by U.S. officials at 554 feet, 7 and 11/32 inches as measured from the main entrance to the top. The original measure by Lt. Col. Thomas Casey in 1884 placed it at 555 feet, 5 1/8 inches.

Storm slams South; cold freezes Northeast

ACROSS THE U.S.

Officials also made certain roads were prepared this year after Southern cities — most notably Atlanta — were caught off guard a year ago when a winter storm stranded thousands of people on interstates overnight. Raleigh suffered a similar fate last year.

Still, some weren’t quite ready for the winter blast.

RL Doss said he had already used his 1987 GMC Suburban — which can haul up to threequarters of a ton with ropes and chains — to rescue several people and their cars on the hills surrounding Frankfort.

Cars were fishtailing and sliding off the slick roads.

“I look at it this way. Everybody is trying to get out, to get their last bit of food and stuff,

getting home from work and people leaving for work and stuff, and it happens,” he said, shivering in a pair of tan overalls pulled over a hooded sweatshirt.

Glancing at his truck, the burgundy behemoth, he said: “I like to see what the truck can do and what it can’t do. I push it to its limits.”

In the Northeast, which has been slammed by seemingly endless snow, the snow stopped falling but the temperatures were bitterly cold.

New York City came close to breaking a 127-year-old record when the temperature in Central Park hit 3 degrees, just 2 degrees above the record set in 1888, said Jeffrey Tongue, a National Weather Service meteorologist.

Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said the latest snow storm left one person dead, apparently because of a heart attack while shoveling snow. A partial roof collapse at an eightbuilding apartment complex in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, left 500 to 700 people looking for warmth. In New Jersey, a 66-year-old woman who had been drinking at a benefit was found dead in the snow, just two doors from her home. Firefighters working on a blaze in Philadelphia left behind a building coated in icicles. No one was hurt.

The storm was headed toward the Carolinas overnight, and then expected to march through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

The Egyptian government said that it had bombed Islamist targets throughout Libya on Monday to retaliate for the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians whose murders on a beach apparently near Tripoli were recorded and posted Sunday on the Internet.

The beheading of the Egyptian Christians and the swift Egyptian retaliation further tangled Libya’s already Byzantine power struggle, where two governments rule, one in Tripoli, the country’s capital, and one in Tobruk, near Libya’s border with Egypt. Militias, some of them with ties to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group, operate without challenge throughout the country.

Greece: Ultimatum issued European creditors on Monday issued Greece an end-of-week deadline to request an extension to its bailout program or face having to meet its debt commitments on its own. After the 19 finance ministers of the eurozone failed to find common ground on the Greek government’s ambition to ease the burden of austerity, investors grew increasingly concerned that a compromise deal was not in the offing. Yet despite the talk of deadlines, Greece’s finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis, insisted a deal between the two sides would be signed soon and that visible progress will be made within the next 48 hours.

Flurry of sign-ups at health law deadline

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar Associated Press

WASHINGTON — After a computer glitch got patched up, supporters of President Barack Obama’s health care law were out in force Sunday trying to get uninsured people signed up by the official deadline for 2015 coverage.

The effort had the trappings of a get-out-the-vote drive, with email reminders, telephone calls and squads of community-level volunteers.

“You can’t avoid it: TV, radio, church, wife, kids, co-workers,” said Ramiro Hernandez, a truck repair shop owner who enrolled himself and his family in Joliet,

Illinois, on Saturday.

Technicians anxiously monitored the federal HealthCare. gov website for any new bugs.

The administration provided no statistics on weekend sign-ups, instead releasing numbers that showed tens of thousands of consumers were trying to connect, online and by phone.

Winter weather interfered in parts of the country. Rhode Island’s state-run insurance marketplace extended its deadline until Feb. 23. Blowing snow and bitter cold affected not only walkin enrollment sites, but the state’s call center as well. Online enrollment was still available.

New York, which also is running its own insurance market,

announced a two-week extension for anyone who has already started an application.

Federal officials have said they, too, would allow extra time for people to finish in the 37 states served by HealthCare.gov. But officials have not said how long that grace period will be.

The health law offers subsidized private coverage to people without access to it on the job.

Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia M. Burwell has set a nationwide target of 9.1 million people enrolled and paying premiums in 2015.

Some experts say that’s too modest. Nonpartisan congressional analysts have estimated 12 million people will sign up in the

new insurance markets.

“Overall, we are really pleased with turnout,” said John Gilbert, national field director for Enroll America, a nonprofit that works closely with the administration.

“We expect that this will be a big number here at the end.”

Officials held their breath Saturday when a technical problem knocked out the income verification system. Gilbert said consumers were getting a yellow screen that would not let them continue. Website woes made headlines last year, a major embarrassment for a tech-savvy White House.

Income verification, which the IRS handles, is crucial to the application process. The

subsidies that most people get to help pay their premiums are based on how much they make.

The problem popped up late in the morning.

“At first it seemed like no one could get through,” said Gilbert. “Then it started improving.

It improved throughout the afternoon and then it was completely resolved.” Consumers who got snagged by the glitch will have extra time to finish their applications.

The sign-up deadline in states served by the federal marketplace was 2:59 a.m. Eastern time Monday.

Some states running their own exchanges have different deadlines.

Oh baby, bronzing’s back in a big way

By Mitch Stacy Associated Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio — During the Depression, former kindergarten teacher Violet Shinbach canvassed Ohio neighborhoods looking for yards with wading pools, tricycles and toys strewn about. She knew the young mothers who lived in those houses were prospective customers for her fledgling entrepreneurial enterprise: bronzing baby shoes.

Despite the hard times, the business took off and endured.

By the early 1970s, the Bron-Shoe Co. in Columbus was bronzing 2,000 shoes a day and sending them all over the country.

Eventually the company struggled with ways to market the specialized service. Like many quaint traditions of earlier generations, preserving that first pair of tiny shoes in copper alloy as a forever keepsake fell out of favor.

But also as popular commodities sometimes do, bronzed baby shoes are making a comeback among a new generation of parents and grandparents, thanks in part to an aggressive social media marketing strategy.

“It’s a visibility thing, and our visibility just went away,” says CEO Robert Kaynes Jr., the 58-year-old grandson of the company’s founder.

“We pretty much lost a generation. I don’t think it’s because it went out of style. I think it’s because it went out of sight.

Nobody knew we were there,” Kaynes said.

Now known as the American

ANDREW WELSH-HUGGINS / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Robert Kaynes Jr., CEO of American Bronzing Co., shows off some of the 100 pairs of baby shoes his company bronzes each day, on Feb. 10 in Columbus, Ohio. Kaynes, the grandson of the company’s founder, says the company bronzed 2,000 shoes a day in the 1970s but is experiencing a resurgence thanks to social media.

Bronzing Co., it’s the oldest and largest of the few companies still providing a service that many assumed had gone the way of record players and black-andwhite TVs. Just about anything solid can be bronzed.

The company has plated baby pacifiers, track cleats, golf balls, dog collars, ballet slippers, cowboy boots, military

drill-instructor hats, football helmets, even a pile of elephant dung for a man who wanted a souvenir of an African safari. Last year, they dipped a New York Yankees cap that was presented to retiring star Derek Jeter.

“We did a giant clove of garlic for a reputed Mafia boss,” Kaynes recalls with a chuckle. “It was really cool. We plated it about seven times, and it still smelled.”

But baby shoes remain the company’s bread and butter: tiny colorful Nike sneakers, oxfords, sandals, Mary Janes, christening slippers, moccasins and Crocs.

Thirty employees ship about 100 bronzed shoes a day. Prices start at $79.95 per pair.

Christine Whylings, a 34-yearold mom who lives in Audubon, New Jersey, recently sent off the first pairs of shoes worn by her

sons, now ages 1 and 3.

She’s now pregnant with a girl and plans to preserve her daughter’s first pair of kicks, too.

“I love having them,” she says.

“I’m kind of a sap anyway. Even though my kids are little, I worry about them growing up too fast. I cheered up when I saw them.”

After relying on door-to-door sales then retail stores and direct mail, the company’s business bottomed out by the late 1990s.

Kaynes said online marketing has helped bring it back, especially being able to place ads prominently on the Facebook pages of moms with toddlers and other aggressive strategies to keep the ads visible. Shipments have surged 25 percent in the past six months.

A company Facebook page with nearly 80,000 “likes” is stuffed with product pitches and photos of customers’ cute little kids and grandkids.

“When you look at their posts, you start seeing ones that say ‘I had my baby shoes bronzed 40 years ago. I didn’t know (the company) was still around,”’ says Jason Parks, a Columbus digital marketing consultant Kaynes hired last year.

“That shows the brand recognition is out there.,” Parks said.

Annie Mitchell, president of The Bronzery in Escondido, California, thinks better visibility, social media advertising and a better economy have contributed to a 25 percent boost in her company’s baby-shoe business since mid to late 2013.

“Mainly I think it’s cyclical — what’s old is new again,” Mitchell said.

Rules of engagement bring financial freedom to couple

J

udi and Christopher Chesley have done something very romantic and not just for Valentine’s Day. The New Hampshire couple, married for 29 years, have created rules of financial engagement.

They participated in the 21-day financial fast I created and took to heart Day 10: Marrying Your Money. So now, posted on their refrigerator is a list of 10 rules to help them manage their money.

There are a number of surveys commissioned by financial companies that aim to emphasize the need for couples to talk more about money.

IN OUR VIEW | State funding of K-12 schools

Compromise to fix education Monday’s editorial outlined how, over the decades, individual school districts have stepped up to pay a greater share of teacher and other school employee pay, and how that will have to end under the state Supreme Court’s McClearly decision’s mandate that the state fully fund basic education.

Local levies have become the default method for districts to pay teachers and other employees above he shrinking share the state has provided, but that has, depending on voter support and local economies, resulted in an imbalance among districts in the quality of education they are able to provide.

The solution required by the Supreme Court and by lawmaker’s own legislation, is for the state to fully fund education as its “paramount duty.” That will require the state to provide the funding for a far greater share of teacher pay, a commitment that will require more revenue.

“There’s nothing more basic to basic education than teacher compensation,” said Dan Steele, associate executive director with the Washington Association of School Administrators.

The school administrators group, in lobbying legislators and others, is making its case that the state must find a new source of revenue, a tax increase or new tax, to fulfill that duty to education. While the economy is improving, it won’t create enough revenue to meet the need. The Legislature’s options for budget cuts are limited and those in education don’t want to force cuts elsewhere, particularly where such cuts would effect the children they are teaching. And moving money around among school districts isn’t enough.

There are good reasons to reform the levy system, but a “levy swap” or levy equalization that would only redistribute funds from more fortunate districts to poorer districts won’t be adequate to address the funding needed

for school employee compensation, Steele said.

The school administrators, beyond calling for more revenue, are leaving the tax policy debate to legislators.

The state’s default solution when raising taxes has been to increase the sales tax, a practice that has left Washington state with the most regressive tax system in the nation, according to Forbes.com and others.

A better option, though not the only one, would be to give another look to Gov. Jay Inslee’s earlier proposal in his budget for a capital gains tax. As proposed, the capital gains tax would collect a 7 percent tax on earnings on the sale of stocks and bonds above $25,000 for individuals and $50,000 for joint filers.

Homes, farms and retirement accounts would be exempt from the tax.

Yesterday, we talked of the need for compromise. In securing Republican support for a tax increase, Democrats and the state’s teachers unions

should also now consider giving the state a larger role in collective bargaining. Currently, teacher contracts are negotiated by the unions’ local units. As the state takes on the financial responsibility for paying teachers and other employees, it follows that it should be involved in the negotiations.

There will remain a need for local bargaining, specifically for the supplemental roles teachers often take on for coaching, advising student groups and serving as department chairmen and chairwomen but also for issues not involving compensation.

With all that the Legislature has in front of it, Steele said he doesn’t see the opportunity for the collective bargaining issue to be addressed this session. A pledge to continue the work would help.

The more immediate need for the state is to ensure that education has the funding that the constitution and the state’s residents demand.

control, there is no way that our teachers would be able to get all of their students to get 100 percent on their standardized tests.

Our teachers need to be able to go back to teaching children because they love doing it as opposed to teaching to a test. I am tired of our children being used as pawns in a political game. I wish Congress would let Washington state waive the No Child Left Behind Act with no political strings and that the state of Washington will actually give the schools the money that they legally deserve.

The clock is ticking.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■COLLEGE PARKING

Courthouse isn’t only issue for city The Mayor of Everett and staff were right on to address the parking issue surrounding the new courthouse.

Public access should be paramount in building of any structures in an already congested area. But what about all the news of college expansion in north Everett? I suppose because of the city’s endorsement of Washington State University and the like, they look the other way? Do any elected officials live near North Broadway? I doubt it!

They would see the mess that has gotten progressively worse in the last ten years.

Thursday at noon there were student cars parked in alleys, front lawns, side streets, etc..

Heaven help the poor little businesses trying to make it when customers have no parking. Maybe it’s just political warfare at public expense!

On a good note, the Everett policeman in the SUV was working his tail off to catch the younger students as they raced down streets and alleys to get to school!

■■NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND

Don’t tie federal money to tests

This past summer, I received an e-mail from my children’s school district, the Edmonds School District, stating that money from the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, was not going to be given to us because our state refuses to tie the test scores of the standardized tests to teachers’ performance.

As a parent of two, I feel that standardize testing is not fair. I feel that too much pressure is put on today’s teachers to not only be a teacher, but also a parent and a social worker.

My stepdaughter lived in southern Washington with her mom. Her mom has many health issues and was not taking her to school. We were granted custody of my stepdaughter as she was entering the third grade. She had a low second grade reading level.

She would’ve not been able to pass a standardize test and this would not have been the teacher’s fault. Fortunately, she went to a school, where the teachers, psychologist and paraeducators worked with us to get her caught up. . My

stepdaughter is now halfway into her senior year in high school. I am not able to say that it has been easy. Her relationship with her mom brought her into a depression, and yet again, we were able to work with her counselors at Lynnwood High School, get her on a 504 plan, and get her back on track. There have been times, where she had not passed some of the standardized testing, just missing the mark by points.

We are involved in our children’s education. It pains me that not every child has this support at home. Unfortunately, there are many children out there in homes that do not support educational growth. This is no fault of the teachers and/or any employee in our education system.

■■HUSKY BASKETBALL

Coach is what’s wrong with team The “commentary” about what plagues the Husky basketball program, “Lack of depth plagues Husky basketball,” in Wednesday’s Herald, left out one or two reasons.

One: A weak schedule for the first 11 games. Did people really believe this team was that good, knowing the talent level of these teams they were beating? Did you really believe they were the 13th best team in the nation? A team playing “down,” never improves in its own conference.

Two: Coach Lorenzo Romar wasn’t the school’s first choice when hired. He was their fourth pick. Means something.

Three: When six players leave the program, what does that tell us? It tells me, the program isn’t very healthy. Players don’t leave a good program.

You might not like this, but perhaps Coach Romar is the real reason the Dawgs haven’t

■■WRESTLING

Eagles won event in a major way I would like to comment on your article concerning the WESCO North 3A wrestling tournament from the Sunday Sports section. First of all, congratulations to head coach Rick Iversen and his assistant (and former long-time Arlington head coach) Jim Smoots on leading Arlington to its first district wrestling title ever; it’s been a long time coming.

Secondly, I’d like to clarify that Arlington didn’t “edge out” Marysville-Pilchuck and Everett, as the article stated. The Eagles won the event going away, by almost 90 points, and the outcome wasn’t in doubt after the morning session on Saturday.

It was a triumphant weekend for Arlington wrestling!

CORRECTION In the Sunday Herald’s column of quotes from newsmakers on Page B9, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was misidentified. Walker, during a news conference in London, when asked for his views on evolution, responded: “That’s a question a politician shouldn’t be involved in one way or the other.”

What Kayla Mueller can still teach us

I

You.

f ind God in the suffering eyes reflected in mine. If this is how You are revealed to me, this is how I will forever seek — Kayla Mueller, 2011

The world knew too little of Kayla Mueller, the American aid worker recently killed in captivity in Syria.

The silence was necessary: The Islamic State savages who held the 26-year-old Arizonan for 18 months said they would kill her if her identity got out. And so DANA MILBANK her family, friends, the government and (with a few unfortunate exceptions) the media withheld her name and all but a cursory description.

Since her death was confirmed last week, the news has been mostly about how she died (almost certainly not in an allied airstrike, as the Islamic State claims), what else might have been done to save her (probably nothing), whether she had been married off to one of her tormenters and how her parents received photographic proof of her death. The focus on the macabre and the secondguessing is a pity, because it again robs us of a chance to know Kayla Mueller, a young woman who represented the very best of American idealism and faith.

Lucky for us, and too bad for these barbarians, Kayla can still tell her story, through the letter she wrote to her family from captivity last spring, and earlier writings from before her kidnapping, released by her friends and family since her death. Her words provide a vivid contrast with the heartless actions of her captors.

“By God and by your prayers I have felt tenderly cradled in free fall,” she wrote in the letter to her family last year, conveyed by a fellow hostage who had been released. “I have been shown in darkness, light and have learned that even in prison, one can be free. I am grateful. I have come to see that there is good in every situation, sometimes we just have to look for it.”

Now that no further harm can come to Kayla, it can be told what an exceptional person she was. She joined the campus Christian ministry at Northern Arizona University and plunged into social action: She volunteered nights at a women’s shelter, protested genocide in Darfur and started a chapter of Amnesty International. She volunteered at a summer camp for young African refugees in Israel, and she went to Israel’s occupied territories to show support for the Palestinians. She protested torture in Guantanamo Bay and she went on a humanitarian mission to Guatemala. In India, she taught English to Tibetan refugees and to poor women and children.

“This really is my life’s work, to go where there is suffering,” she wrote in 2010. “I suppose, like us all, I’m learning how to deal with the suffering of the world inside myself.”

In 2011, she wrote: “I believe that if we can’t handle learning about the darkest places of our world, they will turn into the darkest places in us.” And always, there was her faith. “I find God in suffering,” she wrote.

Around that time, she had taken up the cause that would ultimately take her life.

Kayla became interested in the plight of Syrian refugees, and she went to Turkey to help them. In an interview with the Prescott (Arizona) Daily Courier in May 2013, months before she was kidnapped in Syria, she said, “When Syrians hear I’m an American, they ask, ‘Where is the world?’ All I can do is cry with them, because I don’t know.” In the same interview, she vowed: “For as long as I live, I will not let this suffering be normal.”

Kayla did not have long. A year later, she was writing to her family from captivity in Syria. “I have a lot of fight left inside of me,” she wrote. “I am not breaking down and I will not give in no matter how long it takes.”

It’s our task as her countrymen to carry on that fight and to pursue her tormenters to the gates of hell. But Kayla, who taught her captors how to make paper peace birds, probably wouldn’t have cared for vengeance.

“The hope of our reunion is the source of my strength,” she wrote her family. “Do not fear for me, continue to pray as will I and by God’s will we will be together soon.”

Kayla, we will all be together again, soon enough. Until then, thank you for leaving this world better than you found it.

“What we have learned through this whole thing is not to underestimate the generosity of people,” Logan said. “The other thing we’ve learned through this is that we can’t predict what the long-term needs will be.”

As of Dec. 31, another $2.67 million had been collected by United Way of Snohomish County for mudslide relief. United Way officially stopped accepting slide-related donations Sept. 22, “but we still have some money that’s going out to the community,” spokesman Neil Parekh said. United Way plans to be part of the Stillaguamish Valley’s longterm recovery, he said.

Officials are working on an updated report on how donations have been used.

Donations to Cascade Valley Hospital can be made online at www. cascadevalley.org/ foundation. Donations specifically for mudslide relief can no longer be made online. Instead, people can call Heather Logan at 360-618-7805 or email foundation@ cascadevalley.org.

People can donate to the Red Cross disaster relief fund online at www. redcross.org or by calling 1-800-RED-CROSS. Jacqueline Koch said.

“We always honor donor intent,” she said. “If people want to give specifically for the landslide relief, they can certainly do that.”

will basically be for anyone who hasn’t bought health insurance for 2015, since one of the ways people can qualify for the extension is by saying they didn’t realize how big the tax penalty would be if they don’t have health insurance.

When people file their taxes in early 2016, those who didn’t have health insurance in 2015 will have to pay a penalty of $325 per adult and $162.50 per child

pledge to build the 777X in Everett.

“Attaching arbitrary job creation numbers to an industry that is already boosting Washington’s economy is harmful and unnecessary, and Boeing strongly opposes such a change,” reads the statement. “The 2013 incentives require Boeing to build the 777X exclusively in the state. This is an unprecedented safeguard for taxpayers.”

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson issued a statement also criticizing the bill.

“The proposed legislation would be detrimental to the hundreds of aerospace companies in Washington state, including those that make up the state’s largest job center here in Snohomish County,” the statement said. “It’s critical that the state stand by its commitments to businesses who invest in our economy.”

Robinson made her announcement at a news conference in Renton where leaders of two

in their household. The family maximum penalty is $975 or 2 percent of income, whichever is greater.

Although the cost of insurance may still be higher than the cost of the penalty, the two amounts will get closer during the second year of tax penalties.

The penalty for those filing returns this year is $95 per adult, $47.50 per child, but not more than $285 per

aerospace worker unions released results of a statewide survey they say shows that the general public backs tying the tax breaks to jobs.

The poll found 67 percent of those surveyed either strongly support or somewhat support linking the amount of a tax break with the number of jobs a company provides in the state. EMC Research conducted the survey of 771 people from Feb. 2-8 on behalf of the International Association of Machinists Local 751 and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA).

Robinson’s bill is one of two measures drawn up by the unions that would claw back some of the state’s generous incentives if aerospace companies don’t create and retain union jobs.

The other bill requires aerospace companies pay their employees at least the state median wage in order to be eligible to receive a tax break.

Union leaders, and lawmakers like Robinson, say the state gave Boeing too good a deal in 2013 because it did not stop the company from shifting hundreds of jobs to

family or 1 percent of the family income, whichever is greater.

Richard Onizuka, CEO for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, acknowledges that the deadline extension will likely help the exchange get closer to its enrollment goal, but he insists that isn’t the point.

“We just want to make sure the consumers had one more chance,” Onizuka said. “The main thing is

other states without penalty. Some of those jobs, unions point out, went to Missouri, which offered Boeing tax breaks as long as the firm created 2,000 new jobs.

“Lawmakers need to correct the legislation so it puts Washington state on an even playing field with other states,” said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive director.

Jon Holden, president of the Machinists Lodge 751, said lawmakers could not have envisioned Boeing’s workforce would shrink after they voted on the tax break.

“This was meant to strengthen the aerospace industry and that is what these bills are meant to do,” he said.

Robinson’s bill does not name the Boeing Co. but rather applies to a “significant aerospace firm” — which she said is intended to be Boeing.

As written, it establishes a baseline for the number of jobs in Boeing’s statewide workforce. The tax rate paid by the company would rise incrementally each time there is a drop of 250 jobs below the baseline.

If the total number of jobs lost hits 5,000 or more,

the tax break would end.

The bill is expected to be referred to the House Finance Committee.

Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, chairman of the panel, said he’ll hold a hearing on it.

“It deserves public voice. I think it’s a legitimate policy conversation,” he said. “I think the aerospace community deserves to have a healthy constructive dialogue.”

House Minority Leader Dan Kristiansen, R-Snohomish, isn’t supportive.

He told union representatives when he met with them Friday.

He said he understood the importance of not wanting to see any reduction of jobs in the company. But Boeing is launching the 777X in Everett and ramping up its 737 operation in Renton, and that work should produce an increase in jobs over time, he said.

“I think at the end of the day we’re gong to see growth here and I can’t support a bill that is going to carve out one company and tell them exactly how they have to run their biz,” Kristiansen said.

‘One-two-three, here comes the cone tree’

t’s like something in front of a frat house after a night of too much beer.

The trees in front of the house along 67th Avenue are plastered with orange traffic cones.

People like to stick weird things in trees: shoes, bicycles, toilet paper.

But traffic-coning a tree?

What’s up with that?

It’s “the cone tree house” at 14001 67th Ave. NE between Marysville and Arlington.

There’s even a little song about it.

The orange cones have been growing on trees here for about a dozen years. It started shortly after Larry Selfridge and his family moved into the house on the stretch of two-lane byway not far from Strawberry Fields Athletic Complex.

“Somebody threw a cone out of their car in the ditch,” Selfridge said, “and I put it in the tree. Figured somebody would come pick it up. They never did.

Then another one showed up, and I put it in the tree.”

And so it went, with orange begetting more orange. About 20 molded rubber objects, including a few orange barrels, adorn

ecently, Bill talked to me about his struggles with his daughter’s marijuana use.

“She doesn’t think she has a problem, but she does. It started out as occasional use, but now she’s smoking every day,” he said.

He was at his wit’s end to figure out what to do.

Sally wasn’t sure how to handle her son’s pushing curfew every weekend. At first, it was just 5 minutes after 11 p.m. on weekends. But now he’s 20-30 minutes past curfew every Friday and Saturday night.

I remember those days well.

My two daughters were masters at pushing the envelope and then coming up with amazing arguments and justifications for their behavior. Who needs law school?

They could argue their cause with legal eloquence. They would slip long letters under our bedroom door that made Supreme Court briefs look amateurish. And if that didn’t work, they would try to make one or both of us feel guilty about some past wrong we committed.

I have to admit I was the “softy” that could waiver. My wife, Diane, wasn’t manipulated so easily.

My youngest daughter, now 30, always wants to tell me about all the things she got away with as a teenager. I don’t want to know. It only makes me feel bad.

Teens will nickel and dime you into bankruptcy.

Five minutes becomes 10 minutes becomes 20 minutes and then a half-hour. Before you know it, they’re an hour late.

When they get home long past curfew, they point out that they were late the night before. By turning down the lights slowly, you don’t realize that you’re sitting in the dark.

So, during your children’s teen years, keep these important points in mind: United you stand, divided you fall. Teens are black belts in finding the holes in your parental fence. When you establish the rules of the road, stick together, and back each other up, even if one of you starts to wobble.

Single parents may need other adults to help them stand strong.

Have a few expectations, and then stick with them. Think carefully about what expectations are important to you. Don’t forge 10 rules — it will be impossible to manage all of them. When you make those decisions, sit down with your teen and make it clear that you plan to enforce those few rules — without exception.

Stay out of the courtroom.

You don’t have to argue with your kids about the “why” of your decision — that will only lead to pointless debate. And, guess what? They will win the argument. You’re the boss — that’s the beginning, middle and end of the discussion.

Stand your ground. Bill decided that he didn’t want his daughter to have marijuana in his house. Sure, it’s legal now, but so is alcohol. It’s still illegal for anyone under 21. Would you let your 16-year-old have a martini every night? He decided to draw a line in the sand and stick with it. Once kids realize that you aren’t going to wobble or waiver, they are more likely to fall in line.

Tell him the truth, sort of, about his beard

DAILY CROSSWORD

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend has had a small beard and mustache the whole time we’ve been dating. A few months ago, he started growing it out longer. He clearly loves the way it looks, but I don’t. He’s asked me a couple times if I “love” his beard and I’ve avoided a direct answer by saying I’m adjusting to it.

I don’t want to tell him what I really think, because he’ll be hurt (which I do understand). But at the same time, I just can’t bring myself to lie and gush over something I dislike so much. I keep hoping he’ll get tired of it and go back to the old look. He values honesty, but I’m guessing you are going to recommend a white lie.

— Partner Nope. I recommend saying that it’s not growing on you quite as effectively as it is on him. Hehheh. Say you wish you loved it as much as he does, because it obviously makes him happy. Say you can be patient (assuming you can be) and let him figure things out.

People tend to feel much better about making small accommodations for others when those others make small accommodations for them.

CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Dear Carolyn: I have been in a long-distance relationship for nearly a year.

About six months in, we both agreed that it was going to the marriage place (especially her).

But after a series of arguments, I am having doubts. In previous relationships, I felt like the significant other was my best friend, but here, I am realizing I don’t know the other person as well as I thought, and I am really missing the pure physicality of being near the other person that nurtures a relationship (particularly after a fight). I am torn about whether to share these feelings with the other person (that I want to put off the marriage timetable till we know each other better) or just end it after our next disagreement. Any thoughts?

What are the chances of your living in the same area, but not together, in the near future?

Carolyn: Unfortunately, quite small. For professional reasons, I cannot move for a year, but I feel icky about asking her to move without knowing that I will one day almost certainly marry her.

— Distancing again Would you move sans promises for her if you weren’t stuck?: “I’m not comfortable making decisions about our future without seeing how we do in everyday life. Our recent arguments have brought that home for me. Since I can’t move for a year, you’d be the one who’d have to move, and I feel icky asking you to move with no guarantees. What do you think?”

That’s how I suggest doing it, if you think that makes sense.

However — if these arguments have you rethinking the whole idea of her, then it makes more sense to break up. I see relocating for someone as having the same sanity bar as moving in with someone: Do it only when you have a lot of information about someone and all of it says “yes.” When all the information says, “Maybe, but I’d like to get a closer look,” then it’s not a good idea.

Ultrasound baby picture gets a negative reaction Dear Abby: Do you know why people nowadays feel the need to announce their pregnancies via ultrasound pictures? I’m sorry, but I really don’t want to see all that. I guess some folks think the image of a blurry, black-and-white fetus is “darling.” But to me, all I see is an up-close-and-personal snapshot of a stranger’s uterus. Even if we’re best friends, I don’t need all that detail. TMI, right?

I really wish people would deliver this kind of news face-to-face. Or call me, text me, whatever. It serves the same purpose and isn’t nearly as graphic. — Not Ready For A Close-Up Dear Not Ready: If seeing a sonogram is “TMI” for your sensibilities, all you need to do is scroll past it.

It’s not as if you’re being forced to view the fetus.

Being able to see the product they’re manufacturing pre-delivery helps many couples to bond with their babies, and when people are happy, they often want to share their joy. So loosen up and let them.

Dear Abby: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dated for seven. (We met when we were teenagers.)

My problem is, my motherin-law still misspells my name, which is Sara. After all these years, she still adds an “h” to the end of my name, regardless of how many times my husband has pointed out the correct spelling.

I don’t know why this is an issue, because we send her cards on all the holidays, her birthday, etc., with my name spelled correctly.

How should I approach this with her? — Simply Sara In Arizona Dear Simply Sara: If the two of you get along well, just smile and ask her why she can’t get the spelling RIP HAYWIRE

of your name right. Then listen. However, if there is tension in your relationship, recognize that this may be a form of passive aggression, that confronting her will make her defensive, and she will find some other way to needle you.

P.S. Another thought.

Tell her you’ve changed the spelling of your name to “Sarah” and she may drop the “h”!

Dear Abby: My best friend is dying from lung cancer, which I think has traveled to her brain. I am heartbroken over this. My question is, she seems different now — angry. She jumped on me when we were talking about her disease. Should I just leave her be? Or what should I do? — Standing By In Texas Dear Standing By: Your friend may indeed be angry, and she has a right to be.

She may also be very scared.

Continue to stand by her because she will need your support and understanding in the months to come.

A diagnosis of metastasized cancer can make someone feel alone and isolated. If she wants to talk about her prognosis, be prepared to listen. If she is too ill to get out of the house, bring the news about what is going on in her circle of friends to her. (Gossip can be distracting.) Do NOT offer advice unless you are asked for it. And if she has a bad day, try to be understanding and forgiving.

TELEVISION

Screen version of ‘Bosch’ lacks spark

By Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times

There’s a great deal of marketing synergy propelling Amazon’s first hourlong drama series “Bosch,” now available for streaming.

“Bosch” refers to Hieronymus “Harry” Bosch, Michael Connelly’s internationally famous fictional detective, a perfect fit for Amazon, previously known as a purveyor of books.

Not since HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has a new series had such a well-established following.

Connelly also has “The Wire’s” Eric Overmyer as a fellow executive producer and co-writer on the series, and a personal work ethic — 27 going on 28 books — well suited for the rigors of television. This first 10-episode season of “Bosch” draws on two of the Bosch novels, “City of Bones” and “The Concrete Blonde,” but with so many books on the shelf, Connelly has plots to spare.

What “Bosch” doesn’t

have, alas, is the spark that causes a series to catch fire. Set, as the books are, in modern-day Los Angeles, “Bosch” conjures a noir-tinged L.A. that admirably avoids the cliches to present a view of the city known to its actual residents. But beyond that, the series relies almost entirely on the established popularity of its main character, who doesn’t make as natural a transition to the screen as one might think.

Even with the talented Titus Welliver in the role.

Bosch, as we meet him here, is depicted as the Last of His Kind. He’s a former soldier and old-fashioned cop whose allegiance is to his own (high) moral code, even when it puts him at odds with the bean-counters, the sycophants, the rules-and-regs folks.

Which it often does and indeed has as the series opens.

While chasing a murder suspect, first with his partner Jerry (Jamie Hector) and then, breaking protocol, on his own, Bosch

shoots and kills the man, who appears to be drawing a gun.

The LAPD clears him, but the man’s widow sues.

The first four episodes are framed by Harry’s civil trial, where a self-aggrandizing prosecutor (Mimi Rogers) and a predatory journalist makes it clear what Harry is up against: a world in which the media does nothing but exploit, while police and politicians care more about protecting themselves than the

public.

A world in which he, Harry Bosch, is his own thin blue line.

Fortunately, the beauty of Connelly’s books, like most good detective fiction, lies more in the crimes than the characters. When Harry becomes involved in the years-old murder of a young boy that may or may not cross-hatch with a more current series of killings, “Bosch” picks up steam.

Crunchy, munchy salad — why greens are good for health

M

ost people know that eating salads is a healthful thing to do. But why are they so good for us?

It’s because salads are packed with a variety of raw vegetables that provide us with many necessary nutrients that we don’t get from cooked or processed foods.

Here’s a scientific study that provides us with food for thought — as well as strong evidence why we should keep munching on salads.

Closer look at salad Dr. Lenore Arab from the University of California, Los Angeles, and Dr. L. Joseph Su from Louisiana State University, New Orleans, studied 18,000 men and women to determine how well normal salad consumption

DR. ELIZABETH SMOOTS correlates with good nutrition. The study measured blood nutrient levels in people with differing intakes of salads, raw vegetables, and salad dressings. Researchers also determined which participants got recommended amounts of nutrients often lacking in the American diet.

Researchers found that eating salad and raw vegetables correlates with higher blood concentrations of vitamins C, E, B6, folate, and the

cancer-fighting nutrients lycopene and carotene.

For example, each serving of salad consumed was associated with a 165 percent higher likelihood of meeting recommended daily allowances for vitamin C in women, and a 119 percent greater likelihood in “The consistently higher levels of certain nutrients in the bloodstream of salad-eaters suggest these important components of a healthy diet are being well-absorbed from salad,� says co-researcher Lenore Arab, PhD. “The findings endorse consumption of salad and raw vegetables as an effective strategy for increasing intake of important nutrients.�

Salad intake too low Unfortunately, less than half of the people in the U.S. meet the daily

recommendation for vegetables necessary for healthy living. That’s at least two and a half cups of vegetables a day, according to the national dietary guidelines published by the Department of Health and Human Services.

African Americans are especially low in vegetable consumption. However, the deficiency is present in nearly every group of Americans and in both men and women.

Now that’s a shame, when the nutrients contained in vegetables are necessary for good health.

Recent research has found that plant nutrients and fiber help feed the friendly bacteria in our intestines and contribute to keeping our immune systems healthy. In addition, regular salad consumption helps prevent cancer and reduces the risk of obesity,

With or without dressings or oils, the final conclusion is clear: Eating one or more servings of salads or raw vegetables a day is an excellent way to get more of the healthful nutrients you need.

high blood pressure, heart disease, bone loss, eye problems, diabetes and other chronic illnesses.

Enhancing absorption Besides eating more salads, evidence suggests there are ways to get more out of what you do eat.

For instance, Dr. Steven Clinton at Ohio State University has found that adding a little fat to salads improves absorption of certain nutrients. The fatsoluble nutrients vitamin E, vitamin K, lycopene and carotene are absorbed better in the presence of fat.

Another study from Ohio State shows that salad dressings improve absorption of nutrients in salads.

Nutritionists say the fat can come from anywhere—avocado slices, chopped nuts, or fats from

Arlington’s Jeremy Nygard and Gavin Rork both eyeing the 3A state title at 126 pounds

TUESDAY, 02.17.2015

Tournament info

Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — Jeremy Nygard and Gavin Rork are a study in contrast on the wrestling mat.

Nygard, a junior who has competed around the country in USA Wrestling events and in Europe as part of an exchange program with German athletes, is a hybrid of American folk-style and European freestyle. He can take you down just as easily as ride you out. Wrestling is his only sport, and he has the classic build — compact and explosive.

Rork, who burst on the scene as a freshman this season, does not have the resume of Nygard but is a quick study. He is a mat wrestler, racking up pins by the handful and using his long arms to cinch opponents in cradles.

He will be a center fielder on the baseball team this spring and is long and lean.

With all those differences between them, Nygard and Rork are similar in three areas that make them unique.

They are both contenders for a 3A state championship, they both weigh 126 pounds, and they both wrestle for Arlington High School.

Obviously, only one of them can win the top prize when Mat Classic XXVII begins Friday in the Tacoma Dome, but the fact the road to a title might go through a teammate is a situation unique to wrestling, a team sport during the regular season that shifts to the individual side once the postseason begins.

“They’ve both been really mature about it, and they’ve made it very easy for me,” Arlington coach Rick Iversen said. “We’re just really lucky to have both of those kids.”

During the regular season, Iversen deployed both Rork and Nygard in his dualmeet lineup. Rork wrestled at 126 pounds and Nygard slotted in at 132, with both enjoying tremendous success. Rork suffered just one defeat during the regular season — against a wrestler from Idaho on Jan. 10 at the Panther Classic in Snohomish — and drew confidence from beating then top-ranked Brahm Trujillo of Auburn Mountainview in the semifinals of the Edmonds Invite on Dec. 6.

“I came in knowing that I was decent, that I had wrestled for a while, and would beat the kids that didn’t know much,” Rork said.

“But I didn’t think that I was going to be this successful till that first tournament. Everyone was expecting him (Trujillo) to just kill

COMMUNITY SPORTS

What: Mat Classic XXVII Where: Tacoma Dome Sessions: 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday; 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (finals) on Saturday.

Tickets: Adults $15 (one-day) and $23 (alltourney); students with ASB card $11 and $17; seniors (62-up) $11 and $17; children (5-under) free me. When I beat him, it gave me a big boost of pride that’s really taken me through this whole year.”

Nygard suffered just two defeats in the regular season, both coming against Decatur’s Leviticus Arizpe. But since Decatur is a Class 4A school, Nygard won’t see Arizpe this postseason.

Nygard has some unfinished business at Mat Classic this season after taking third place at 106 pounds last year as a sophomore.

In the semifinals, Nygard lost a 1-0 decision to Moses Lake’s Cooper McCullough, who in an odd bit of symmetry went on to lose to Chiefs teammate Trey Long in the final.

“I really expected myself to win last year, and it was a real heartbreaker losing a match that I should have won,” he said. “There’s a lot of emotions coming back this year. I’m looking for redemption.”

Whether Nygard — who captured a regional championship on Saturday to go along with his district crown — has to defeat his teammate and friend to find that redemption is yet to be seen.

Rork lost a 5-4 overtime decision to Edmonds-Woodway’s Jordan Lindamood in the regional semifinals on Saturday, but came back to take third place. He enters the state tournament with a record of 37-3, which includes a loss to Nygard by injury default in the sub-regional final on Feb. 7.

Because of how they placed at regionals, Rork and Nygard are on opposite sides of the state bracket, meaning that unless they both lose and meet in the consolations they won’t face each other until the state finals. Interestingly, Rork gets a rematch with Trujillo in the first round.

Nygard wrestled at 132 during the regular season to help the team, but never felt totally comfortable there, and had a plan in place all

season to drop to 126 for the postseason.

“Guys were a head taller than me and stronger than me,” said Nygard, who didn’t let the size disadvantage stop him from amassing a record of 36-3. “The two-pound weight allowance means I only have to get down to 128 to qualify for 126, which is easy for me. Now I’m the same size as these guys and I’m not at a disadvantage anymore. I know I’m stronger than some of these guys.

I’ve gotten down to where I need to be.”

Rork, who Iversen thought might wrestle at 120 this season, continues to grow, so much so that there were discussions about him moving up to Nygard’s 132-pound spot for the postseason and eliminating the chance of the two wrestling each other.

Rork scuttled those plans.

“I thought about it and I was just thinking, ‘Why?’” he said. “I’ve been really successful at 126, and if Jeremy wants to come to 126, that’s all right with me. I’ll wrestle him.”

This laid-back attitude is what Rork is all about, and Iversen said it’s one of the primary reasons for his success in his first prep season.

“I think that if Gavin made the state finals, we won’t see much difference in his demeanor than if he was wrestling in a JV tournament,” Iversen said. “He just takes everything in stride and gets after it. I’ve had at least three people say to me that there’s something about the way he walks into the center of that mat. He has a presence about him.”

With the possibility of Nygard and Rork having to face each other looming on the postseason horizon, Iversen curtailed the amount of training they did together, and the two never went at each other full-bore in the practice room. That doesn’t mean that they don’t know each other’s tendencies.

“He knows me pretty good wrestling-wise, and I know what he likes to do pretty good also,” Rork said.

Nygard acknowledged that this setup is not ideal, but it’s the hand he and Rork have been dealt.

“It (stinks) that we have to wrestle each other, but at the same time, it’s not a team sport,” he said. “There’s nothing I would hold back against him, and I have a bunch of confidence in myself. I just go out and wrestle my way, and he just has to learn to stop it. I’m not going to let him be my friend, and I’m not going to go easy.

“We’ll just wrestle our hearts out, and there’ll be no hard feelings either way.”

Sydney Donaldson, a 6-foot forward, has started 21 of Western Washington’s 24 games and is averaging 8.6 points and 4.6 rebounds a game.

Going out in style That’s the goal for Edmonds-Woodway grad Donaldson, whose four-year basketball career at Western Washington is coming to an end

By Rich Myhre Herald Writer

In four years with the Western Washington University women’s basketball team, Sydney Donaldson has enjoyed some great experiences. But in the final weeks of her college career, she is hoping for at least one more.

Maybe something like what happened two years ago.

Donaldson, an Edmonds-Woodway High School graduate, was in her sophomore season at WWU back in 2012-13. As it happened, it was one of the top seasons in program history, with the Vikings posting a 29-5 record, winning conference regular-season and

postseason tournament championships, a West Regional title, and advancing to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight national tournament in San Antonio.

Though the Vikings came up short of a title — they won their opener, but lost in the semifinals to eventual national champion Ashland University — “that year was just so great, so incredible,” Donaldson said. “It was almost surreal. We worked real hard and then everything just clicked. It just felt right.”

Being part of such an exceptional team “is something I’ll never forget,” she said. “You just have a special bond with everyone on the See DONALDSON, Page C4

WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY

Western’s Sydney Donaldson (right), celebrating with teammate Kayla Bernsen, hopes to return to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight national tournament.

The Seattle Seahawks’ contingent will be arriving Tuesday for the NFL’s annual meat market/ pre-draft combine with three pluses it didn’t bring here last year.

More picks.

More action in the top of the draft.

And more time.

Seattle general manager John Schneider, head coach Pete Carroll and staffers are scouting this week in Indianapolis for what Schneider last week said he expects will be 10 selections in May’s draft. Barring trades, it would be the third time in 13 years the Seahawks will have a double-digit number of picks; Schneider and Carroll had 11 in 2013 and 10 the year before that.

It would be one more selection than the Seahawks had in 2014.

And unlike last year it includes a first-round choice, next-to-last at 31st overall.

The 10-pack includes three expected compensatory selections over the fourth and fifth rounds from losing free agents before the 2014 season, most valuably wide receiver Golden Tate. It also includes the pick Seattle got from the New York Jets in October in the Percy Harvin trade — that was the trade of Harvin, whose acquisition from Minnesota had cost Seattle that first-round pick last year.

If the Jets decide to keep Harvin and his $10.5-million contract past March 19, New York owes the Seahawks a fourth-round pick. If the Jets cut the dynamic but enigmatic wide receiver before March 19, Seattle gets a sixth-round choice.

Another plus on Seattle’s side this winter and spring: Time.

Schneider and his player-evaluation staff began fully preparing for the 2014 free agency during Super Bowl 48 week in New Jersey in January.

Lesson learned.

“I don’t think we did a very good job with it,” the GM said, “so we wanted to be ahead of it this year.”

This time, Schneider began the full plotting for the Seahawks’ offseason moves more than a month earlier, in December, still during the regular season. They brought the entire offseason preparation operation to Phoenix during the last week of January to finalize their plans during the days before Seattle played New England in Super Bowl 48.

PEORIA, Ariz. — Let’s state this up front: While much of the attention last year focused on Kansas City’s potent late-game trio, the Seattle Mariners had baseball’s best top-to-bottom bullpen.

And it wasn’t close.

The unit compiled a 2.59 earned-run average. San Diego ranked second at 2.73. The second-best American League club was Oakland at 2.91. No other team in either league was better than 3.00.

It was also a deep unit.

relievers make at least 50 appearances — ranging from 69 outings from All-Star closer Fernando Rodney to 56 by lefty specialist Joe Beimel.

So what about this year?

Beimel is likely gone — he remains an unsigned free agent — and converted starter Brandon Maurer went to San Diego in the trade that returned outfielder Seth Smith.

But right-hander Carson Smith flashed impressive potential as a September promotion, which suggests the key issue is finding a Beimel replacement to serve alongside Charlie Furbush as lefty options.

Here’s a look at the Mariners’

bullpen as the team prepares to open spring training on Saturday:

The locks Other than Rodney (and maybe Furbush), everyone is pitching this spring to hold/win a spot in the bullpen. Note also that everyone but Rodney, with one key exception, has minor-league options. So the Mariners have a lot of flexibility.

Sure, right-handers such as Yoervis Medina, Danny Farquhar and Tom Wilhelmsen are well-positioned, but spring competition figures to be cut-throat.

Proposed bill would exempt WHL players from state’s child labor laws

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

The child labor complaint filed against the WHL’s four Washington-based teams may have sparked legislative change.

A bill has been introduced in the Washington State House of Representatives that could exempt WHL players from the state’s child labor laws, King5. com reported.

HB 1930 would change the language in the Minimum Wage Act, Industrial Welfare Act and Industrial Safety and Health Act, which govern labor practices for individuals under the age of 18. If the bill passes, athletes playing in amateur sports leagues would be exempt from the regulations.

Representatives from all four Washington-based WHL teams — the Everett Silvertips, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs and Tri-City Americans — were in Olympia last Tuesday to speak in favor of the bill before the State House Committee on Labor.

“Our players are 100 percent amateurs,” Seattle general manager Russ Farwell told the committee, as reported by

King5.com. The report also said Everett president Gary Gelinas told the committee that if the language in the laws isn’t changed, the teams may be forced to relocate outside of the state because they would no longer be able to include 16- and 17-year-old players on their rosters.

The House Committee on Labor is scheduled to take up the bill in an executive session Tuesday.

The legislation stems from a complaint filed with the State Department of Labor and Industry in September of 2013.

An unnamed party alleged that WHL teams violate the state’s minimum wage laws. In December the Department of Labor and Industry announced it was expanding its investigation into the complaint.

The complaint is one of what’s become an increasing number of legal challenges to the Canadian Hockey League, of which the WHL is a member, designed to improve player compensation. Players are currently compensated with room, board, a small monthly stipend and a year of college paid for each season played in the league.

With five weeks remaining in the season it appears just about ever playoff spot has been all but assured, with only seeding left to play for. The one exception, however, is third place in the B.C. Division, where Vancouver, Kamloops and Prince George are all separated by a single point. They are fighting for one playoff spot, unless one of the teams can pass Tri-City for a Western Conference wild card spot. ...

League-leading Kelowna has been playing without it’s No. 1 goaltender, Jackson Whistle. Whistle had to have his appendix removed and is expected to miss a couple more weeks. ... Kelowna’s Leon Draisaitl was named the WHL Player of the Week. The 19-year-old forward had two goals and seven assists as the Rockets went 3-1.

Leaders Points— Trevor Cox (Medicine Hat) 94; goals— Cole Sanford (Medicine Hat) 46; assists— Cox 71; penalty minutes— Keegan Kanzig (Calgary) 134; wins— Jordan Papirny (Brandon) 36; goals against average— Taran Kozun (Seattle) 2.34; save percentage— Adin Hill (Portland) .924.

Mavericks may add Stoudemire The Dallas Morning News The multi-step process to upgrade the Dallas Mavericks’ depth on their front line appears closer to making some headway.

Amar’e Stoudemire has reached a buyout agreement with the New York Knicks, which will make him a free agent on Wednesday, the day he will clear waivers.

The Mavericks have expressed interest in signing the 6-foot10 Stoudemire, who would be a serviceable backup behind Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler.

The Mavericks already have signed Bernard James to a 10-day contract and his play was critical in the victory over Utah in the game before the All-Star break commenced.

They also are believed to still have the inside track to signing Jermaine O’Neal, the free-agent big man who has not played this season and has spent the last months training to get himself in game condition.

Murphy stays alive, knocks out Shorecrest

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston could be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.

Doug Benc / Associated Press

Mayock: Bucs expected to pick Winston

By Brendan Sonnone Orlando Sentinel

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to overlook any off-field concerns surrounding Jameis Winston and take the former FSU quarterback with the first overall pick of the 2015 NFL Draft, according to Mike Mayock of the NFL Network.

Winston comes with a long list of pros and cons, something Mayock acknowledged during a three-hour teleconference with media members Monday.

So does Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota.

With that in mind, Mayock believes Winston is worth the risk.

“Who is the highest rated football player on your board? My gut tells me they’re going to go with a quarterback and at this

point I would guess it’s Jameis Winston just because he fits what they do more,” Mayock said.

Winston and Mariota both declared for the NFL Draft before exhausting their eligibility. Winston won the Heisman Trophy in 2013, while Mariota won it while at Oregon in 2014. That is where their similarities end.

“There’s a consensus top two at the quarterback position but there are contrasting issues with both of them,” Mayock said.

“Obviously with Jameis Winston, my concern, No. 1, is on the field. I think he throws too many interceptions. However, I can see everything I want on the field on tape beyond that. He’s a pocket aware guy, he throws with anticipation and timing, which is unusual in today’s college football world. He’s tough, he gets smacked in the face and

he delivers the football.

“I think the bigger concern is whether or not this guy can be the face of your franchise. Let’s face it, he was the face of Florida State’s franchise and that didn’t stop him from making a bunch of bad decisions off the field.”

Mariota’s weaknesses, according to Mayock, revolve around whether his skill set will translate to the pros. He ran a spread offense at Oregon and did not have to pick up the nuances of a complex pro-style passing game like Winston did.

“I don’t envy Tampa GM Jason Licht and head coach Lovie Smith and that group and their decision,” Mayock said.

The NFL Draft begins April 30. Both Winston and Mariota are expected to arrive in Indianapolis on Wednesday for the NFL Scouting Combine.

Armstrong loses $10 million arbitration ruling Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas — An arbitration panel ordered Lance Armstrong and Tailwind Sports Corp. to pay $10 million in a fraud dispute with a promotions company for what it called an “unparalleled pageant of international perjury, fraud and conspiracy” that covered up his use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Dallas-based SCA Promotions announced the 2-1 decision against the former cyclist when its lawyers said Monday they had asked Texas’ 116th Civil District Court in Dallas to confirm the arbitration ruling, dated Feb. 4. The panel included a neutral chairman, who ruled in favor of SCA, and one person selected by each side.

Tim Herman, a lawyer for Armstrong, insisted the ruling is contrary to Texas law and predicted it will be overturned

by a judge.

SCA paid Armstrong and Tailwind, the since-dissolved team management company, about $12 million in bonuses during Armstrong’s career, when he won seven Tour de France titles. Those victories were stripped after Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service teams were found to have used banned performance-enhancing drugs.

SCA disputed the bonuses in arbitration in 2005, and the case produced the foundation of the doping evidence later used against him. Despite allegations of cheating, Armstrong continued to deny doping and the company settled with Armstrong and paid him $7 million in 2006.

The company sued Armstrong to get its money back after Armstrong’s cheating was exposed by a report from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and a televised confession interview

with Oprah Winfrey.

The case was sent back to the original arbitration panel of independent chairman Richard Faulkner, SCA selection Richard Chernick and Armstrong pick Ted Lyon.

In the 2005 arbitration hearings, Armstrong testified under oath that he did not use performance-enhancing drugs.

“Perjury must never be profitable,” the majority wrote in the new decision. “Tailwind Sports Corp. and Lance Armstrong have justly earned wide public condemnation. That is an inadequate deterrent. Deception demands real, meaningful sanctions.”

SCA President and founder Bob Hamman praised the ruling.

“It is hard to describe how much harm Lance Armstrong’s web of lies caused SCA but this is a good first start toward repairing that damage,” Hamman said.

Arlington’s Jeremy Nygard and Gavin Rork both eyeing the 3A state title at 126 pounds

By Brian Adamowsky

Tournament info

Herald Writer

ARLINGTON — Jeremy Nygard and Gavin Rork are a study in contrast on the wrestling mat.

Nygard, a junior who has competed around the country in USA Wrestling events and in Europe as part of an exchange program with German athletes, is a hybrid of American folk-style and European freestyle. He can take you down just as easily as ride you out. Wrestling is his only sport, and he has the classic build — compact and explosive.

Rork, who burst on the scene as a freshman this season, does not have the resume of Nygard but is a quick study. He is a mat wrestler, racking up pins by the handful and using his long arms to cinch opponents in cradles.

He will be a center fielder on the baseball team this spring and is long and lean.

With all those differences between them, Nygard and Rork are similar in three areas that make them unique.

They are both contenders for a 3A state championship, they both weigh 126 pounds, and they both wrestle for Arlington High School.

Obviously, only one of them can win the top prize when Mat Classic XXVII begins Friday in the Tacoma Dome, but the fact the road to a title might go through a teammate is a situation unique to wrestling, a team sport during the regular season that shifts to the individual side once the postseason begins.

“They’ve both been really mature about it, and they’ve made it very easy for me,” Arlington coach Rick Iversen said. “We’re just really lucky to have both of those kids.”

During the regular season, Iversen deployed both Rork and Nygard in his dualmeet lineup. Rork wrestled at 126 pounds and Nygard slotted in at 132, with both enjoying tremendous success. Rork suffered just one defeat during the regular season — against a wrestler from Idaho on Jan. 10 at the Panther Classic in Snohomish — and drew confidence from beating then top-ranked Brahm Trujillo of Auburn Mountainview in the semifinals of the Edmonds Invite on Dec. 6.

“I came in knowing that I was decent, that I had wrestled for a while, and would beat the kids that didn’t know much,” Rork said.

“But I didn’t think that I was going to be this successful till that first tournament. Everyone was expecting him (Trujillo) to just kill

What: Mat Classic XXVII Where: Tacoma Dome Sessions: 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Friday; 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. (finals) on Saturday.

Tickets: Adults $15 (one-day) and $23 (alltourney); students with ASB card $11 and $17; seniors (62-up) $11 and $17; children (5-under) free me. When I beat him, it gave me a big boost of pride that’s really taken me through this whole year.”

Nygard suffered just two defeats in the regular season, both coming against Decatur’s Leviticus Arizpe. But since Decatur is a Class 4A school, Nygard won’t see Arizpe this postseason.

Nygard has some unfinished business at Mat Classic this season after taking third place at 106 pounds last year as a sophomore.

In the semifinals, Nygard lost a 1-0 decision to Moses Lake’s Cooper McCullough, who in an odd bit of symmetry went on to lose to Chiefs teammate Trey Long in the final.

“I really expected myself to win last year, and it was a real heartbreaker losing a match that I should have won,” he said. “There’s a lot of emotions coming back this year. I’m looking for redemption.”

Whether Nygard — who captured a regional championship on Saturday to go along with his district crown — has to defeat his teammate and friend to find that redemption is yet to be seen.

Rork lost a 5-4 overtime decision to Edmonds-Woodway’s Jordan Lindamood in the regional semifinals on Saturday, but came back to take third place. He enters the state tournament with a record of 37-3, which includes a loss to Nygard by injury default in the sub-regional final on Feb. 7.

Because of how they placed at regionals, Rork and Nygard are on opposite sides of the state bracket, meaning that unless they both lose and meet in the consolations they won’t face each other until the state finals. Interestingly, Rork gets a rematch with Trujillo in the first round.

Nygard wrestled at 132 during the regular season to help the team, but never felt totally comfortable there, and had a plan in place all

season to drop to 126 for the postseason.

“Guys were a head taller than me and stronger than me,” said Nygard, who didn’t let the size disadvantage stop him from amassing a record of 36-3. “The two-pound weight allowance means I only have to get down to 128 to qualify for 126, which is easy for me. Now I’m the same size as these guys and I’m not at a disadvantage anymore. I know I’m stronger than some of these guys.

I’ve gotten down to where I need to be.”

Rork, who Iversen thought might wrestle at 120 this season, continues to grow, so much so that there were discussions about him moving up to Nygard’s 132-pound spot for the postseason and eliminating the chance of the two wrestling each other.

Rork scuttled those plans.

“I thought about it and I was just thinking, ‘Why?’” he said. “I’ve been really successful at 126, and if Jeremy wants to come to 126, that’s all right with me. I’ll wrestle him.”

This laid-back attitude is what Rork is all about, and Iversen said it’s one of the primary reasons for his success in his first prep season.

“I think that if Gavin made the state finals, we won’t see much difference in his demeanor than if he was wrestling in a JV tournament,” Iversen said. “He just takes everything in stride and gets after it. I’ve had at least three people say to me that there’s something about the way he walks into the center of that mat. He has a presence about him.”

With the possibility of Nygard and Rork having to face each other looming on the postseason horizon, Iversen curtailed the amount of training they did together, and the two never went at each other full-bore in the practice room. That doesn’t mean that they don’t know each other’s tendencies.

“He knows me pretty good wrestling-wise, and I know what he likes to do pretty good also,” Rork said.

Nygard acknowledged that this setup is not ideal, but it’s the hand he and Rork have been dealt.

“It (stinks) that we have to wrestle each other, but at the same time, it’s not a team sport,” he said. “There’s nothing I would hold back against him, and I have a bunch of confidence in myself. I just go out and wrestle my way, and he just has to learn to stop it. I’m not going to let him be my friend, and I’m not going to go easy.

“We’ll just wrestle our hearts out, and there’ll be no hard feelings either way.”

Spring battles The first issue is whether the Mariners opt for a traditional seven-man bullpen or, as they did for much of last season, choose to go with eight relievers.

The way the roster shapes up, after a series of off-season acquisitions, points to a four-man bench. That means a seven-man bullpen, which will only amp up the competition.

Manager Lloyd McClendon wants two left-handed relievers, which probably means Furbush and one from the group of Lucas Luetge, minor-league invite Rafael Perez and Rule 5-pick David Rollins.

That leaves room (probably) for five righthanders. Rodney will be one, which positions

The candidates for the Seattle Mariners’ bullpen, with the teams they played for last season, their win-loss records and their ERA: On the 40-man roster (10) RH Danny Farquhar Mariners 3-1 2.66 LH Charlie Furbush Mariners 1-5 3.61 RH Mayckol Guaipe AA Jackson 1-3 2.89 RH Dominic Leone Mariners 8-2 2.17 LH Lucas Luetge AAA Tacoma 3-2 3.13 RH Yoervis Medina Mariners 5-3 2.68 RH Fernando Rodney Mariners 1-6 2.85 LH David Rollins AA Corpus Christi 3-4 3.81 RH Carson Smith AAA Tacoma 1-3 2.93 RH Tom Wilhelmsen Mariners 3-2 2.27 Non-roster invites (2) RH Mark Lowe AAA Columbus 4-3 5.62 LH Rafael Perez AAA Indianapolis 3-1 1.77

Veteran Mark Lowe is also in camp as a non-roster invite.

“We have to do that is because what we found out last year was we got a little bit behind,” Schneider said, before adding with wry deadpan: “You know, it’s a real bummer: We had a Super Bowl. We won it. It got in the way of our preparation.”

Schneider sent his draft staff and scouts home to their families for a few days before they reconvene in Indiana this week. Starting Tuesday and Wednesday, they and Carroll will interview nervous college players. Each prospect can have up to 15 private interviews. The questions will be about almost everything but football, among the most unconventional things the always unorthodox Schneider and Carroll will do all year.

After that the Seahawks will join the other 31 teams in staring up and down each prospect as they parade into and out of a humbling sort of heightweight-body-shape screening room.

Only after all that will the prospects do in position groups the most recognizable parts of the combine: The 40-yard dashes, shuttle runs, plus agility and strength drills on the stadium’s turf that are televised nationally by the league’s network all week.

Then after the combine ends this weekend at Lucas Oil Stadium in downtown Indianapolis, Schneider’s guys will fan out across the country to attend prospects’ individual pro

team, and to be a part of something like that was so exciting. It’s probably been the most exciting part of my basketball career.”

Now a senior, Donaldson would love to close her career with another prolonged postseason run. The Vikings are 17-7, but are beginning to hit their stride, having won 11 of their last 13 games.

Donaldson, a 6-foot forward, has started 21 of the team’s 24 games this season and is averaging 8.6 points and 4.6 rebounds a game.

“She’s been a great leader for us,” said Western Washington head coach Carmen Dolfo. “She’s got the ability to score. She has some great moves around the basket, but she can also score outside. But I think the thing she brings most is her spirit and enthusiasm. People like playing with her. She’s just a great teammate.”

One of the season highlights — and certainly a personal highlight for Donaldson — came two

drainage of hematomas (collections of blood outside of blood vessels).

The Mariners signed Sanchez, a Venezuelan native, as a 16-yearold in 2011 for $2.5 million. He was 7-6 with a 4.19 ERA last season in at Double-A Jackson before making seven starts in the Venezuela Winter League.

Sanchez pitched for the Everett AquaSox in 2012. He was 6-2 with a 3.18 ERA in 15 games.

confirmed that Sanchez, 20, was hospitalized after suffering an accident. The club is limited by federal health reporting laws.

Reports from Lavinotinto.com and other outlets say Sanchez was swimming off Carapano, which is located near the center of Venezuela’s northern coastline.

Those reports say Sanchez underwent a craniectomy (a removal of a portion of the cranium) and a

days on college campuses.

Who may they be studying most?

The Seahawks’ biggest needs — at least as long as we assume 1,500-yard running back Marshawn Lynch is indeed coming back and not retiring before the 2015 season, as Schneider floated as a possibility last week — are offensive line, defensive tackle, wide receiver, tight end and cornerback.

Some are projecting La’el Collins, a 6-foot-5, 321-pound blocker out of Louisiana State, to be a top-10 pick.

Others say the run-route paver and pass protector is a second-round talent. Some see him as guard, of which the Seahawks have a perhaps endangered one in 2011 first-round pick James Carpenter on the left side. Others project him as a tackle; Seattle had 2014 second-round pick Justin Britt start every game this past season at right tackle, while left tackle Russell Okung (its sixthoverall selection in 2010) has been limited by injuries for years and has had trouble recently. Both had trouble with speed rushers outside.

If Florida’s D.J. Humphries (6-6, 300) is still around at No. 31 overall, the Seahawks could be tempted by one of college football’s most impressive pass blockers, to address years-old pass protection issues.

Could Washington Husky defensive tackle Danny Shelton from Auburn High School still be around at the end of the first round? If not, almost as highly acclaimed and athletic defensive tackle Arik Armstead of Oregon may be. In later rounds, 288-pound

weeks ago in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game against Northwest Nazarene. With WWU trailing by one point and with 1.8 seconds on the clock, Donaldson took an in-bounds pass and sank a game-winning shot from just left of the free throw line at the horn. It prompted a mob scene of happy Vikings, and with Donaldson right in the middle.

“It was pretty crazy,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever hit a game-winner like that. It felt pretty great.”

Donaldson is the latest in a string of Snohomish County players to find success at WWU. Marysville-Pilchuck grad Britt Harris was a senior on the outstanding 2012-13 team, and she was preceded by another M-P alum, Amanda Dunbar (2006-07 to 2010-11), one of the top scorers in program history.

Before Dunbar, Stanwood grad Tina Donahue (200203 to 2005-06) also had a standout career for the Vikings, and there have certainly been others in Dolfo’s 24 seasons as head coach.

winter season. In short, he’s unlikely to clear waivers.

The Mariners, like all major-league clubs, are loathe to surrender inventory in spring training or early in the season. That could result in Ramirez, if he pitches well, making the club as a long reliever.

A year ago, the Mariners made just such as decision with Hector Noesi before cutting him loose after two poor outings. Noesi then put together a solid season with the Chicago White Sox after a brief stop at Texas.

So, yes, competition this spring should be fierce.

Help if needed The big plus to the looming spring competition is the Mariners should have two or three reliable bullpen arms stashed at Triple-A Tacoma if replacements are needed because of injury or ineffectiveness.

Grady Jarrett of Clemson may intrigue the Seahawks for his speed.

The other apparent need on defense, cornerback, hinges on whether the Seahawks do in fact lose unrestricted free agent starter Byron Maxwell to a higher bidder, as even the Seahawks expect.

The Seahawks’ apparent need to upgrade at wide receiver may be timely; that position is considered one of the deeper ones in this draft.

Amari Cooper of Alabama is likely to be gone among the first dozen or so picks. But 6-3, 212-pound Jaelen Strong of Arizona State, 6-5 Devin Funchess from Michigan and towering, 6-6 Dorial Green-Beckham have the size and could be projects the Seahawks covet. Green-Beckham is off some teams’ boards because of red flags — he was kicked off the team at Missouri over an alleged forced entry into an apartment — but Carroll and Schneider have embraced reclamation projects to varying results in their five years recreating the Seahawks.

Those rookies-to-be that get keen interest from the Seahawks should be ready: The two-time defending NFC champions don’t usually waste time at these combines. Seattle’s interest often translates immediately into opportunity.

“My belief is that if you want to be a consistent, championship-caliber team, you have to make those tough decisions,” Schneider said, “where guys are moving on every year and you just have to keep playing young people.”

In her tenure, Dolfo said, “we’ve had a number of players (from Snohomish County) and they’ve all had such a great impact on our program. It’s nice for them to be able to be close to home and to have their families be able to watch them play. ... We’ve certainly had a lot of success (recruiting) from that area, for sure.”

Though Donaldson is nearing the end of her WWU playing career, she expects to remain involved with the program for another two years. She will complete a degree in communication studies with a minor in sport psychology, and then return in the fall as a graduate assistant while pursuing an additional degree in business administration.

In the future she wants to work in sports administration, and perhaps in a college athletic department. Who knows, she might become the next Lynda Goodrich, the Lake Stevens native and a legendary figure at Western Washington after a long career as women’s basketball coach and later athletic director.

“That’s a bold statement,” Donaldson said with a laugh. “But along with (Goodrich) and Carmen, they’ve definitely given me some great leadership to look up to.

“Seeing how much (athletic department officials) do for the players,” she added, “I think it’d be great to be a part of that.

So that’s my ultimate goal.”

But in the meantime, she expects to enjoy the remaining weeks of her college career. And not only the games, but the relationships.

“Coming to this program, you get so close with your teammates,” she said.

“You really become a family and you have so many great times together. There are hard times, too, and there’s a lot of hard work.

But you definitely care about each other more as individuals than just as teammates. And Carmen cares about us more as people than just as players.”

Being at Western Washington the last four years “has helped me grow as a person,” she said, “and it’s helped change me into the person I want to be as I get older.”

CLEVELAND — Jason Giambi is retiring after 20 seasons in the majors.

The 2000 AL MVP announced his decision Monday in a statement that was first sent to the New York Daily News. He ends his career as one of 20 players in history with at least 400 home runs, 1,400 RBI, 1,200 runs and 1,300 walks.

The 44-year-old played for Oakland, the New York Yankees, Colorado and Cleveland.

Following last season, Giambi said he would discuss with his family whether to keep playing.

The longtime slugger appeared in just 26 games for the Indians in 2014.

A five-time All-Star and fearsome power hitter, Giambi batted .277 in his career with 440 home runs and 1,441 RBIs. He had a .399 on-base percentage and slugged .516.

The first baseman was also tarnished by his involvement in the BALCO performance-enhancing drugs investigation. He never publicly admitted using PEDs, but has apologized for past actions.

“I want to thank the fans for being a part of this incredible journey,” Giambi said in his statement.
