Felon has ‘violent history’ John Keinath, arrested Feb. 10, is under investigation for being in possession of firearms, drug crimes and more. By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
EVERETT — When the SWAT team descended on the Tulalip home last week, there were plenty of reasons for caution.
County Council members say they want to take time to determine if proper steps were taken when plans for motocross were approved.
The man living there was wellknown to police. His rap sheet included threats, assaults and brazen pursuits. Detectives were told that in the few months he had been out of prison he had been using drug
deals to amass firearms, including assault rifles. They were told he had a police uniform he planned to use in a robbery. Word on the street — and later, allegedly from the suspect himself — was he was buying heroin and methamphetamine by the pound. John C. Keinath, also known by his street name of “Flare,”
was arrested Feb. 10. He’s now under investigation for 11 counts of being a felon in possession of firearms, drug crimes and trafficking in stolen property. Keinath, 43, has “an extremely violent history,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Jennifer DeJong told a See FELON, Page A2
Seabirds hanging in there
By Noah Haglund Herald Writer
It’s early, but rising populations speak to effectiveness of conservation work By Kari Bray and Noah Haglund Herald Writers
STANWOOD — Scientists spotted some potentially uplifting trends when they sat down to pore over observations from Puget Sound birdwatchers. Over the past seven years, volunteers with the Seattle Audubon Society saw increases among 14 of 18 seabird species they were tracking. That includes cormorants, loons, rhinoceros auklets and harlequin ducks. Scientists warn it’s too early to jump to rosy conclusions about seabirds bucking population declines, which have been happening since at least the 1970s. Nevertheless, the data hold tantalizing clues about the effectiveness of conservation efforts in the region, among other factors. “It indicates that perhaps we are doing something right,” said Toby Ross, science manager for the Seattle Audubon Society. Results of the Puget Sound Seabird Study were published last month in the online journal PeerJ. Observations took place at 62 locations throughout

EVERETT — A long-awaited decision about building a complex of motocross racetracks northeast of Granite Falls will have to wait a little longer. Dozens of people from the off-road motorcycle community filled Snohomish County Council chambers Wednesday urging lawmakers to rule in their favor. Some held signs with messages such as “Vote Yes for MXGP” — the Kirkland company seeking permission to build the track along the Mountain Loop Highway. Council members, however, made it clear they intend to set emotions and opinions aside when making their decision on whether to allow the complex to get built. Their job is to determine whether the county hearing examiner’s Dec. 23 decision was correct in approving plans for the track, subject to a long list of conditions. “I know the community supports it. It’s in the record and I understand why — I have motorcycles myself,” County Council Chairman Dave Somers told the audience. “But our job here today, as I view it, is to first decide if county code has been followed — upheld — and second if the hearing examiner has made any errors. I think those are the tests in front of us.” In that sense, their role is more akin to a judge’s than a lawmaker’s. Wednesday’s proceeding, known as a closed-record appeal hearing, was continued from a week earlier. Council members agreed to take more time to understand the legal nuances at play. They’re scheduled to reconvene at 10:30 a.m. March 2. “I was expecting to get a favorable decision today, but that’s better than a ‘no,’ ” MXGP coowner Gary Strode said. Strode’s company has been pursuing the current proposal since 2007. Plans call for building multiple tracks in five phases. Construction could take 15 years to complete. Camping facilities are a major aspect of the design. Portland, Oregon, company

Bruce Jenner rear-ended cars in fatal wreck Associated Press LOS ANGELES — Video shows Bruce Jenner started a chain reaction crash that resulted in a woman’s death on a Malibu highway, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Wednesday. Jenner was hauling
an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind his Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when he steered to avoid cars slowing for a traffic light in front of him on Pacific Coast Highway, the official said. Jenner’s SUV rear-ended two cars, pushing a Lexus into oncoming traffic, the official said.
The driver, Kim Howe, 69, was killed when it was struck head-on by a Hummer. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is investigating the cause of the wreck and will consider whether to issue a citation that could result in criminal charges. The official briefed on
the video was not authorized to speak publicly and talked to the AP on condition of anonymity. The official said the video showed Jenner’s vehicle continued forward and rear-ended a Toyota Prius. Officials initially said the Lexus had struck the Prius. TMZ was the first to
report on the video. Investigators have sought cellphone records to see if any drivers were distracted, but the video appears to show that Jenner was not using his phone. His publicist, Alan Nierob, has said Jenner was not texting and is cooperating with investigators.
Westminster winner Miss P a quiet ‘princess’ Associated Press NEW YORK — A soft-spoken beagle really raised a ruckus. Wagging her tail a mile a minute, Miss P became America’s top dog Tuesday night by winning best in show in a big surprise at the Westminster Kennel Club. At 4, Miss P is a grand-niece of Uno — in 2008, the immensely popular hound who barked and bayed his way to becoming the only previous beagle to win at the nation’s most prominent dog show. Miss P, however, didn’t let out a peep in the ring.

Miss P soaks up the limelight.
“She is a princess,” handler Will Alexander said. A quiet one, too. Not your normal, everyday, vocal beagle, as most owners can attest.
Detectives were told that Keinath had multiple security cameras that he’d monitor from his living room. When the SWAT team entered his home in the 13000 block of Eighth Drive NE, they found Keinath in a master bedroom. He appeared high on drugs. Inside a safe they found money and a loaded handgun, which was reported stolen out of Marysville.
Instead, it was the packed crowd at Madison Square Garden that seemed to loudly gasp when judge David Merriam picked her in a dog show world shocker. Only a half-hour after her win did the 15-inch Miss P, a breed known as “big beagles,” started making a noise. And that was only because her people were giving her treats. The best-of-seven final ring was full of favorites. Matisse, a Portuguese water dog that’s a cousin of President Barack Obama’s family pet Sunny, was the top-winning male in show dog history with 238. Swagger, an old
They found another handgun in a backpack next to the bed. Detectives later searched a storage unit in Everett that Keinath allegedly rented Feb. 7. Inside they found stolen items including a movie projector, guitars and electronics. In the back corner they found an assault rifle. In a car outside Keinath’s home, they found another assault rifle and nine other guns. Keinath allegedly told
English sheepdog, finished second at Westminster in 2013 and clearly drew the biggest cheers. A Skye terrier came in second this time. A standard poodle, a shih tzu owned by Patty Hearst and an English springer spaniel also made it to the last ring. Miss P was the one who charmed Merriam. He is a retired California trial-courts judge and has spent more than 50 years with dogs, but this was the first time he’d judged a best in show. “She never let me down. She didn’t make any mistakes,” Alexander said.
detectives that someone else owned the firearms, and that he typically would pick up about one pound of heroin and one pound of methamphetamine from his supplier, to sell and use. Keinath’s felony convictions include a drive-by shooting and beating someone with a pipe. He was convicted in 2010 of harassment and possessing a controlled substance. He reportedly
threatened to kill a nurse who thought he was joking about wanting to name his newborn son after mob boss John Gotti. In 2013, he was arrested days after driving a motorcycle more than 100 mph on Highway 9 to escape deputies. The manhunt started in Lake Stevens and included two helicopters.

NEW YORK — More than 20 years after his death, there is still plenty of news about Dr. Seuss. Random House Children’s Books said Wednesday it will publish a recently discovered manuscript with illustrations called “What Pet Should I Get” on July 28. The publisher plans at least two more books, based on materials found in 2013 in the author’s home in La Jolla, California, by his widow and secretary. The author whose real name was Theodor Geisel died in 1991. Random House associate publishing director Cathy Goldsmith says “What Pet Should I Get?” was likely written between 1958 and 1962. The book features the same brother and sister seen in Dr. Seuss’ 1960 classic “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.”

House bill would end death penalty By Rachel La Corte Associated Press
OLYMPIA — Families of murder victims and opponents of capital punishment testified Wednesday in support of a measure to abolish the death penalty in Washington, saying that the costly and drawn out appeals process only prolongs the pain of the crime.
More than a dozen people spoke before the House Judiciary Committee in favor of House Bill 1739, which would replace capital punishment with life in prison, with no opportunity for parole. The measure, sponsored by Democratic Rep. Reuven Carlyle of Seattle, would also require those convicted to work in prison in order to pay restitution to victims’ families.
Former Sen. Debbie Regala, whose brother-in-law was murdered in 1980 and whose killer was never caught, said that she knows that families have differing opinions on the death penalty. “I do think that all of them would agree with me that we would like the perpetrator caught and prevented from killing another person. Of course more than anything what we would
like is to have that family member back, but we know nothing makes that happen,” she said, her voice choked with emotion. Regala, who sponsored previous bills to abolish the death penalty while in the Legislature, said that the death penalty is not a deterrent to murder and is not good state policy. She said she believes life in prison is. “It provides public safety, it
lowers the cost to taxpayers, and it can ensure swift certain equal justice that we should all be concerned with,” she said. The measure comes following Gov. Jay Inslee’s decision last year to impose a moratorium on capital punishment for as long as he’s in office. Inslee has said he supports the bill. The House See DEATH, Page A4
Forklift driver may face charges Police allege the operator was criminally negligent in an accident that killed a Bothell man. By Rikki King Herald Writer
IAN TERRY / THE HERALD
Father Arsanios Hanna holds a cross during the Holy Liturgy at the St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church in Lynnwood on Tuesday. Hanna said his congregation will pray not only for the 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians who were killed by the Islamic State, but also their murderers.
‘Church of martyrs’ mourns its slain By Amy Nile Herald Writer
LYNNWOOD — People at a church here are mourning the beheadings of fellow Egyptian Christians at the hands of Islamic extremists. The news that Egypt on Monday dropped bombs on Islamic State targets in Libya, in retaliation for the execution of 21 Christian men from Egypt, hit close to home for many in the congregation at St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church. The slain had gone to work in oil-rich Libya as laborers. They were beheaded on a beach, apparently after being taken hostage. A recording of the killings was posted online Sunday by a faction of the Islamic State. “This is not new to us. The Coptic church is a church of martyrs,” said Father Arsanios Hanna, St. Mary’s spiritual leader. “It’s hard, especially for the families.”
A man bows his head in prayer at the St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church on Tuesday.
Hanna, a native of Shoubra, a suburb of Cairo, serves a congregation of more than 500 families, many of whom are Egyptian immigrants. The gleaming-gold Lynnwood sanctuary is one of about 120 Orthodox Coptic
churches in the U.S. Hanna said his congregation “vigorously condemns” the beheadings of the 21 Egyptians and counts them among the martyrs of the church. “Killing peaceful people based
on their nationality and religion is a barbaric, unhuman behavior returning us to past centuries of ignorance,” he said, “and it is a shame and big challenge for all nations to let the evil lead the world.” Hanna said his congregation will pray not only for those who were killed but their murderers. Beyond that, he said, they’ll let politicians work to solve the problems plaguing the Middle East. Nabil Girgis, an Edmonds accountant who attends St. Mary, said the retaliation sent a message to the extremists “to let them know Egypt cares about their people,” he said. “Those 21 people belong to the same denomination as our church.” Girgis, who is from Zagazig, Egypt, said fighters from the Islamic State target Christians, and stable governments need
LYNNWOOD — A forklift operator could face manslaughter charges in connection with a fatal accident in a Lynnwood Goodwill parking lot in August. The Lynnwood Police Department recently finished its investigation, and the findings were forwarded to prosecutors as a potential case of seconddegree manslaughter, Cmdr. Jim Nelson said. Detectives allege that the operator, a 47-year-old Edmonds man, was criminally negligent, public records show. His employer, Goodwill, was fined $9,000 by the state last year for workplace safety violations. The accident happened just after 10 a.m. Aug. 18 outside the store on 198th Street SW. The operator told police he was moving a box of electronics with the forklift when he saw “a flash of blue” and slammed on the brakes. Detectives determined that the forklift struck the victim, Chuck K. Lee, 69, of Bothell, as he walked through the parking lot. The slamming of the brakes caused the box to fall on him. The operator moved the box off Lee and ran for help. Lee died the next day at a Seattle hospital. A state Department of Labor & Industries investigation found that the forklift load obstructed the operator’s view. L&I also found that Goodwill

to a far greater number of the state’s voters. In theory, presidential candidates would take note of this new primary and make sure the trails of their campaigns passed through Washington. It worked pretty well in 2000 when, with no incumbent in the race, the four leading presidential candidates — Republicans George Bush and John McCain and Democrats
Al Gore and Bill Bradley — campaigned in the state ahead of the primary. Bush and Gore won and went on to win their party’s nominations. But for the most part, it hasn’t turned out that well. The state canceled the primary in 2004 and 2012, and some wonder if it shouldn’t be stopped entirely. That’s because the Democratic Party ignores the election results and chooses its delegates solely on voting in caucuses. At
this point that’s what it will do in 2016. The Republican Party has allotted half its delegates based on the primary-election results, with caucus voting deciding the rest. That’s its intention in 2016. Enter Wyman, the only Republican in statewide office, with a plan for dealing with the dilemma in 2016 when, as in 2000, there’s no incumbent running. She’s pushing a bill to move up the date of Washington’s primary from May to March 8, putting it just one week after the Super
Tuesday binge of contests. Her proposal also requires the two major parties to assure her they will use the results in allocating a percentage of delegates. It doesn’t tell them how big a percentage, just that they will. Republicans are on board, Democrats are not, yet. An earlier primary could lure the Democratic Party to sign on because that could give Washington Democrats a bit more sway if there are multiple candidates. “The nominating process and the date of the primary really influence whether

Eighteen states have abolished the death penalty, with Maryland being the most recent.

presidential candidates come to our state to campaign to voters or merely come through to fund raise,” she said Tuesday. If Democrats get on board, next year voters will pick-a-party and get a ballot with only that party’s candidates. If not, all candidates of all parties will appear on the same ballot, turning the primary into little more than a beauty contest that costs $11.5 million. That could incite calls for the state to cancel the primary. Gov. Jay Inslee may already know the answer.
He eliminated funding for the primary in his proposed budget, which means he wants to cancel it. Wyman isn’t ready to throw in the towel. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” she said. “We need the results of the presidential primary to mean something. This election is too important.”
of Spokane. “If we were forced to go through years or decades of hearings, trials and appeals it would just reopen this wound again and again.” The only person to testify against the bill was Mitch Barker, executive director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. “Our prosecutors use the death penalty very, very judiciously,” he said. “This is not done arbitrarily.” The Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys has not taken a position on the bill because its members are split on the issue, said Tom McBride, executive secretary of the association. A recent study from Seattle University that found death penalty cases in the state cost $1 million more than similar Washington cases where capital punishment is not sought. Rep. Jay Rodne, a Republican from Snoqualmie who is a member of the committee, stated during the hearing he didn’t find the
cost argument compelling, saying that the state could streamline the appeals process if money is a driving issue. Rodne also asked a bipartisan panel of lawmakers who support the bill whether there’s any scenario in which they believe the death penalty is warranted. “It concerns me when the state has the ability to take a life, period,” said Rep. Chad Magendanz, a Republican from Issaquah who is a co-sponsor of the bill. “As awful as the crimes are, do we lower ourselves as a government to punish with death? That is a legitimate question to be asking right now.” Nine men are on death row. Death penalty cases in the state are still being tried and continue to work through the system. Inslee’s moratorium means that if a death-penalty case comes to his desk, he will issue a reprieve, which means the inmate would stay in prison rather than face execution.

should have done more to ensure safe operations of heavy equipment and the operator should have been driving slower. Multiple forklift operators at the store did not have proper training, the state reported. The “totality of circumstances” may constitute criminal negligence, detectives wrote. A finding of negligence is a requirement for a conviction of second-degree manslaughter, a felony. If the operator’s view hadn’t been obscured, he would have had about seven seconds to react to someone walking into his path, police wrote. Anytime there are legal questions in a death investigation, it is standard procedure for Lynnwood police to forward the case to prosecutors for review, Nelson said. The forklift operator has no known serious criminal history in Washington. The Herald is not naming him because he has not been charged in the Lynnwood case.

to increase training for officials and volunteers, who would respond to spills of crude oil or hazardous chemicals. Snohomish and Island counties also hope to launch a grant program for shoreline restoration
projects, and committees are brainstorming incentives for land owners. Possibilities include a new beach management district and tax breaks. Populations of shorebirds, forage fish and shellfish in the stewardship area seem to be fairly stable, according to the conservation plan. Salmon aren’t faring as well, research shows. Last year, 435 adult chinook salmon were counted returning to the Stillaguamish River. Scientists figure up to 46,000 adult salmon would have returned to the river before the shoreline was developed in the past century. The key to protecting a species is preserving its habitat, Herrmann said. Beaches and river deltas in
the area no longer are ideal because of development, pollution and climate change. Still, the region sees a flurry of feathered visitors, especially during winter migrations. That’s when the Stillaguamish Valley celebrates its eagle festival and Stanwood welcomes flocks of snow geese. It’s a good time to track bird populations. For the past three years, Jon Houghton of Edmonds has participated in Audubon surveys at Kayak Point to collect information for the recently released seabird survey. “Interestingly, Puget Sound has a lot more birds around in the winter than there are in the summer,” he said. Houghton was drawn
to bird watching because it provided him a pleasant pastime as he approached retirement from a career as a marine biologist. “It’s something my wife and I can do together and both enjoy,” he said. The surveys are wellregimented, so the information collected can be used as reliable science. Volunteers conduct surveys from October through April. Groups in different areas go out on the same day around the same time so they don’t count flocks of birds twice. Authors of the final work included scientists with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle and the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. While the latest study shows most species on the increase, they found declines in four: the whitewinged scoter, brant, western grebe and rednecked grebe. It will take more research to learn why seabirds have changed their patterns of frequenting certain locales. They might be reacting to changes in food sources or threats to their nesting grounds elsewhere. And some populations just shift to new areas. “In the future, we’ll have a better idea of whether those trends were indicative of a specific time and place, or of a more significant (population) increase soundwide,” said Scott Pearson, a state Department of Fish and Wildlife seabird research scientist. “I’d like to see a few more years of information that would convince me.” Kari Bray: 425-339-3439; kbray@heraldnet.com.

conditions,” Klein said. The examiner’s restrictions aim to limit noise, water runoff, light pollution, fire dangers, traffic and more. The track operator must keep a log of various complaints. Recreational motorcycle or ATV riding is prohibited at the track after dusk or before 9 a.m. Races could only be held Saturdays and Sundays, with exceptions for some holidays. No more
than 40 motorcycles or ATVs could race on at any track at the same time. One-day attendance cannot exceed 800 people for riders, spectators and facility staff. And the motocross park can be used no more than 150 days per year. Appellants question whether the track has made adequate provisions for medical emergencies in a sport where the risk of
injury is great. Jim Boltz, who owns Smokey Point Cycle Barn, said he closed shop Wednesday morning so his employees could attend the hearing. Boltz highlighted a common complaint among local motocross racers: long travel distances to place such as Bellingham, Olympia or the Tri-Cities to ride the type of tracks that MXGP wants to provide here.
“This is a huge opportunity for our county and I’d hate to see it go by the wayside,” he said. The council’s decision can be appealed to Snohomish County Superior Court.

the Puget Sound region, including beaches in Edmonds, Everett and Mukilteo. Another was Kayak Point Park, which sits on Port Susan, a focal point of conservation efforts since the early 2000s. Port Susan divides the east shoreline of Camano Island from the west edge of Snohomish County. County leaders formally designated the bay and surrounding land as a marine stewardship area in May 2014, following the lead of Island County and the Stillaguamish and Tulalip tribes. About 30 organizations now are involved with the project. In addition to seabirds such as cormorants and gulls, the area also hosts a wealth of shorebirds, shellfish, forage fish and salmon. “The reason we’re focusing on that area is it has so much amazing biodiversity already, and yet there are threats to it,” said Kathleen Herrmann, Snohomish County’s marine resource steward. Threats include bank hardening and loss of vegetation as people build along the shore, runoff from farms and processors, hazardous spills and derelict gear in the water, invasive species, septic system failures and increasingly severe flooding and storms caused by climate change. Researchers spent years planning how to fight back. A formal Conservation Action Plan was adopted by Snohomish and Island

Bascom Pacific owns the 437-acre property, located between two quarries about six miles from Granite Falls. About 80 percent of the site would remain forest. Three legal issues are under review: a request to rezone MXGP’s property to forestry and recreation from just forestry; issuing a conditional use permit; and denying a land-use appeal. Hearings on the project took place a year ago. Appeals have been filed by Martin Robinette, Ginger Amundson and the nonprofit Mountain Loop Conservancy. “The issue before the Snohomish County Council is whether or not the project complies with county code and not about the merits of motocross,” Amundson said Wednesday. There’s recent precedent for the council nullifying a hearing examiner decision. It involved a request
from the Green Mountain Mine, one of the quarries adjacent to the proposed motocross track. The company that operates the mine wanted temporary permission for trucking and loading outside of normal operating hours. In November, the council reversed the examiner’s approval of that request. The Mountain Loop Conservancy also appealed in that case. “The County Council has already ruled a few months ago on the Green Mountain Mine, that when rules aren’t followed, the hearing examiner is overturned,” said Sharron Sheppard, a board member with the conservancy. Councilman Ken Klein, whose district includes Granite Falls, said he’s prepared to give the motorcycle track the goahead. The examiner’s 93-page decision, he noted, includes 14 pages of special conditions. “It would be difficult to find a project in Snohomish County’s history with more

Aunt and uncle are key to unlocking cold case By Nina Culver The Spokesman-Review
SPOKANE — Ellen Criswell never met the girl in the mid-1980s photo who had a big smile, thick glasses and feathered, brown hair. She and her husband, Donald Criswell, saw their niece in person only as a baby. Last year, Criswell discovered that her niece Deanna Criswell, of Spokane, had not been heard from for decades and had never even been reported as missing. Though the rest of the family hadn’t bothered to look, the aunt and uncle went on a quest to find their forgotten niece. “It just sickened me, really, to think that a little girl was out there,” said Criswell, a mother of two daughters and grandmother of four who lives near Tampa, Florida. “I felt like no one cared about her and it just broke my heart.” The parents and siblings of 16-year-old Deanna Criswell assumed that the girl with an extensive history of running away would make contact when she
wanted to. The last person in her family to see her was her older sister, Debbie Renn, who dropped her off to take a bus to Arizona. She called Renn once she arrived, but the family hadn’t heard from her since. A transient in Marana, Arizona, a suburb of Tucson, found her decomposed body on Nov. 25, 1987, in a culvert under a road that runs along I-10 — the main highway between Phoenix and Tucson, Marana police Sgt. Chris Warren said. She was shot five times with a .22-caliber gun and probably died about two weeks before she was discovered. Until Criswell’s aunt and uncle began working to find her, the body was known only as “Jane Doe 19.” In 2009, Marana’s crime scene supervisor, Tom Mooney, took an interest in the cold case. He determined that evidence taken from the body could be tested in ways not available in the late 1980s. Police exhumed her body, which the FBI used to create a facial reconstruction to help identify her. By the time she was
We were looking for a live girl for quite a while. I really wanted to find her and let her know that she’s loved. — Ellen Criswell, aunt of Deanna Criswell, found dead in 1987
identified this month, police already determined who likely killed her. The DNA on her body traced back to William Knight, who was in the midst of a robbery spree in the Tucson area around the time Criswell was killed, Warren said. He was arrested nine days before Criswell’s body was found and died in prison from cancer in 2005. The .22-caliber gun that Knight used in his robbery spree has since been destroyed, but the model of gun would have created the same “right-hand twist” ballistics that were found on the bullets in Criswell’s body, Warren said. “Had he still been alive, we would have indicted him for murder and he would have faced trial for it,” Warren said. Ellen and Donald
Catching the wind
Criswell were estranged from Deanna’s father, Jerry Criswell, for many years and only reconnected last March. That’s when they learned that their niece hadn’t been heard from in decades. Donald is Jerry’s brother. Donald Criswell, a retired painter for Boeing, and Ellen, a retired auditor at REI, went on the Internet to search for her. The couple were lifelong Seattle residents until they moved to Florida about a dozen years ago. “We were looking for a live girl for quite a while,” she said. “I really wanted to find her and let her know that she’s loved.” Gradually, they realized that after so many years with no contact, Deanna was probably dead. That’s when they switched to

Oregon to test new road tax PORTLAND, Ore. — A tax that would have Oregon drivers paying by the mile instead of by the gallon now has a name: OReGO. Next, the state government plans to see whether it has a future. The Department of Transportation said Wednesday it would begin a test July 1, signing up 5,000 volunteers to keep track of the miles they drive. They’d pay a tax of 1.5 cents a mile and get a rebate for the 30-cent-agallon Oregon tax they’d pay to drive those miles, The Oregonian reported Wednesday. For years, the agency has been considering how to replace the gasoline tax, the traditional means of
paying for road building and repair. Oregon was the first state to have a gasoline tax, in 1919. The argument is that cars have become much more fuel-efficient — some using batteries — and drivers are driving less. So, the officials say, gasoline tax revenue hasn’t kept up with construction costs. After the Legislature rejected a tax on highly efficient vehicles, it authorized the test to begin this summer. The OreGO website is a means of getting information out to people who’d like to take the tax for a spin. They can’t actually sign up until July. The tax name and logo arose from a tour of the state to talk to residents, said spokeswoman Michelle Godfrey.
People who attended the meetings said they wanted a name and logo that exhibited “freedom from bad roads” while immediately identifying the state, Godfrey said. The stylish OreGo logo shows a perfectly curving highway leading to Mount Hood. The department has previously run tests of satellite-based systems to track mileage, and gotten criticism from people concerned about privacy. Those who sign up for the tax test this summer will be able to keep track of how much they drive by using a variety of means, from a GPS tracker to a daily diary. “GPS will be the most hassle-free option,” said Godfrey. “But it’s also the option that people tend to dislike the most.”

met Knight on the streets of Spokane and he bought her the bus ticket to join him in Arizona. Ellen Criswell said she’s upset that many people have described Knight as her niece’s boyfriend. “She was 16 years old and he was 31,” she said. “He was a pedophile.” She said it doesn’t matter that Knight will never be punished for her niece’s murder. “She’s gone,” she said. “It’s not going to bring her back.” Though she is grieving, Ellen Criswell said she’s grateful that her niece was found all those years ago. “She’s not out there in the woods somewhere,” she said. “It’s sad what happened to Deanna. Obviously Deanna fell through the cracks and there was nobody there to catch her.” Next month, Deanna’s father, Jerry Criswell, will travel to Tucson with Donald Criswell and another brother to place a new tombstone on Deanna Criswell’s grave, Ellen Criswell said. The name over her grave no longer will read “Jane Doe 19.”

looking at online databases of unidentified remains. They were given a photo of her from her father, and Renn told them she had gone to Arizona shortly before she went missing. With these details, they located a picture in November on a database of unidentified remains of a facial sculpture the FBI created when Criswell’s body was exhumed. It looked like the right age and had the same gap between her front teeth. The description estimating her weight and shoe size were on target. The only detail that was wrong was an assumption that she was Hispanic. They contacted Mooney late last year. “We got lucky because they had done the bust on her,” she said. “We thought it looked just like her.” DNA from her father and her mother proved last week that the body is Criswell’s. “If the aunt and uncle had never done this we would never be where we are because nobody would be looking for her,” Warren said. Criswell’s sister, Renn, said last week that Criswell

OLYMPIA — A House committee has approved a bill that would remove personal or philosophical opposition to vaccines as an authorized exemption from childhood school immunizations. The House Health Care & Wellness Committee passed the measure on a 10-5 vote Wednesday, and
it could be considered for a vote by the full House in the coming weeks. Currently, Washington allows parents to claim school-vaccination exemptions for children at public or private schools or licensed day care centers based on medical, religious and personal or philosophical beliefs. House Bill 2009 removes the personal or
philosophical belief allowance for an exemption. The measure has the support of the Washington State Medical Association and Gov. Jay Inslee. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Washington is among 20 states that allow for personalbelief exemptions and 48 that allow for religious exemptions.

California mulls drought rules Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Officials are considering new water restrictions as California’s drought drags on, possibly forcing residents to ask for water at restaurants and for fresh towels and sheets at hotels. The State Water Resources Control Board floated the ideas at an informational hearing this week as it considers extending and expanding mandatory wateruse rules. The board last summer imposed emergency regulations prohibiting Californians
from washing their cars with hoses that don’t shut off and limiting how often they can water their lawns. Board members appeared ready to extend those rules and add new ones. “I find it galling when whole sets of water glasses end up on a (restaurant) table, even in Sacramento,” said Felicia Marcus, chairwoman of the board. “The key is to get away from very light mandatory restrictions.” The board has the sweeping power to define when water use is unreasonable, and it could eventually expand the definition to include using
drinking water to maintain golf courses and cemeteries. Marcus said the board would likely take smaller steps first, such as prohibiting decorative outdoor water fountains. Existing emergency regulations have authorized agencies to fine water wasters up to $500 a day, though such stringent enforcement has been rare. For homeowners, new rules also could include a ban on watering lawns during cold and rainy periods. Some proposals presented targeted businesses, such as requiring restaurants to only serve water on request and telling hotels not to automatically

The board has considered making some water restrictions permanent with the prospect of future droughts looming. “We definitely need permanent regulations,” said Frances Spivy-Weber, the board vicechairwoman. “I just don’t see how we can enter the next 30 years with climate change without them.” The board could consider the extension of restrictions next month and take up other possible regulations later in the year.
Ukrainian soldiers flee They were almost out of food and water and were running out of ammunition. By Karoun Demirijian The Washington Post
ARTEMIVSK, Ukraine — When the order to retreat came over the radio Wednesday, most of the Ukrainian troops under siege in Debaltseve abandoned their heavy weapons, blew up their ammunition, and then fled in trucks as pro-Russian forces shot at them along the way. But for Ilya Andrushko, one of about 30 members of Ukraine’s Lviv battalion, the only way to escape was on foot. “We didn’t have a chance to think about the order when it came,” said Andrushko, 33. “We ran through the fields and the forests on foot, for about five kilometers. Then we just hitchhiked in whatever military vehicles would pick us up.” After weeks under siege, nearly surrounded by rebels and calling for reinforcements that never came, they were already on the brink of collapse. They were almost out of food and water and were running out of ammunition. Charged since mid-January with protecting the outskirts of the strategic rail town of Debaltseve, the battalion was facing the worst fighting in the Ukraine war’s hottest zone — without a commander. He abandoned them about a week ago, they said, and was blown up by a roadside bomb while fleeing. It took them more than four hours to cover the first 10 miles from Debaltseve to Svitlodarsk, the terminus for emergency and military vehicles shuttling soldiers, particularly the wounded, back to the base and the trauma hospital in Artemivsk, 20 more miles up the road. By Wednesday afternoon, Andrushko and most of his fellow soldiers were squeezed into rooms at the Hotel Ukraina in Artemivsk, where, clearly rattled, they paced the halls, waiting for news from the rest of their team. “We left everything in Debaltseve. We just came out
LONDON — There may be more fruit, vegetables and healthy options available than ever before, but the world is mostly hungry for junk food, according to a study of eating habits in nearly 190 countries. International researchers combed through more than 320 self-reported diet surveys from 1990 to 2010 and looked at how often people said they ate 17 common foods, drinks and nutrients including healthy
U.S. investigates Caterpillar cash flow NEW YORK — Caterpillar said the U.S. government is investigating how it has been moving cash between its business units in the U.S. and overseas. The construction equipment company said it received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois last month that asked for financial information. Caterpillar said it is cooperating with the investigation and that it should not affect its business or finances. Last year, a congressional report said that the Peoria, Illinois, company avoided paying $2.4 billion in U.S. taxes since 2000 by shifting profits overseas.
Colorado: Snowpack OK Snowpack in the mountain valleys where the Colorado River originates was only a little below normal Wednesday, marking one of the few bright spots in a grim drought gripping much of the West. Measurement stations showed the snowpack at 90 percent of the longterm average. By contrast, reporting stations in the Sierra Nevada range in drought-stricken California showed snowpack at 50 percent or less in early February, the most recent figures available. Some detected no snow at all. Mountain snow in Colorado is closely monitored because a half-dozen Western waterways, including the 1,400-mile Colorado River, start in the area.

with the clothes on our backs,” said Andrushko, shirtless except for a handgun he kept holstered to his chest. A few moments later, he wriggled out of his pants as well, handing them to his friend Volodymyr Trukhan, 29, whose only pair was ruined in the escape. Standing in the hotel’s second-floor lobby wearing just his underwear — and his handgun — Andrushko threw back his shoulders, puffed out his chest and yelled to his friend Roman, who was nursing a concussion: “Who are we?” Andrushko and Roman roared in unison: “Lions!” — the symbol of their battalion, also tattooed on Andrushko’s chest. Wednesday’s overnight retreat from Debaltseve left the soldiers exhausted and
mentally torn. While the retreat was necessary, it was also late in coming, the soldiers said. “We should have done it earlier,” said Volodymyr Makarenko, 39, a warrant officer who ran ammunition to the front lines. He said there was always the risk Debaltseve would become “another Ilovaysk” — where more than a thousand soldiers died in a summertime siege. “If we hadn’t pulled back, nothing good would have come of this.” But for many, the retreat was also a huge embarrassment — and the tipping point over frustrations with military commanders who the soldiers believe bungled the siege. “The Russians are coming, and this is my Ukraine — Ukraine or die,” said Trukhan, a sniper with the Lviv battalion. “But our

commanders abandoned us. And the Ukrainian media were repeating what they were saying in Kiev — that we had everything, that we weren’t surrounded. It was all lies.” The collective frustrations of the more than 1,000 troops who flooded Artemivsk on Wednesday could have serious consequences for the Ukrainian military as the fight against pro-Russian separatists wears on — something almost all of them believe will happen. Soldiers pulling back from the front lines Wednesday described their retreat as a tactical move — the same terminology Ukraine’s political leadership used. But the extent of the withdrawal has caused many to lose faith in their leaders’ ability to carry out future battles or even negotiate a respectable peace deal. “From the moment they signed the agreement, it started to get worse,” Maxim Tymochko said of the ceasefire that was supposed to take effect Sunday. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko tried to restore some goodwill Wednesday by making an emergency trip to Artemivsk, where he met with commanders and shook hands with soldiers on the military base. But his visit did not resolve questions for most of the soldiers: What comes next? And why they should believe that future fights will turn out any better?

choices like fruits, vegetables and fish and unhealthier alternatives like salt, processed meat and sugary drinks. Experts found that even though people are eating more healthy foods including whole grains and fish, there has been an even bigger jump in the amount of junk food eaten. The study was paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Britain’s Medical Research Council and was published online Thursday in the journal Lancet Global Health as part of an
obesity series. Some of the study’s findings: ■■Older adults ate better than younger adults and women ate healthier than men. ■■Some of the best nutritional improvements were seen in Mongolia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Countries needing to curb their junk food habits included Bosnia, Armenia and the Dominican Republic. ■■There was a mixed picture in the U.S., with increases both in the amount of healthy and unhealthy foods eaten.
■■Researchers found in some countries in Africa and Asia, there has been no improvement in their diet during the past 20 years. “There’s still a long way to go,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, of the Friedman School of Nutrition at Tufts University and one of the study authors. He said that despite Westerners being among the biggest eaters of junk food, China and India were catching up and that governments should step in. “We can’t leave it unchecked,” he said.
An explosion devastated a section of a major refinery in Torrance on Wednesday, raining down ash in the area and, experts say, likely helping to increase gas prices, which have been creeping up in recent weeks. A huge smokestack flare — in which workers were burning off flammable product after the explosion — could be seen for miles around. Four contractors suffered minor injuries as workers fled the site of the blast, according to Exxon Mobil Corp., which owns the refinery. It processes an average of 1.8 billion gallons of gasoline per year

NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office said the space rock measuring two feet in diameter and weighing roughly 500 pounds entered Earth’s atmosphere above the Pittsburgh suburbs around 4:50 a.m. Tuesday. It could be seen in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. NASA said cameras detected the rock at an altitude of 60 miles above Beaver Falls, northwest of Pittsburgh. The agency said it flared brighter than a full moon as it descended to an altitude of 13 miles above Kittanning.

The House on Wednesday reconsidered the bill and voted it down, 83 to 17. Initially, the bill passed narrowly, 56 to 42, along party lines, with Republicans in favor. It passed the Senate, 25 to 13, last week.
New Jersey: Rabbi charges Opening statements began Wednesday in the trial of a rabbi who prosecutors said employed a kidnap team to force unwilling Jewish husbands to divorce their wives. Rabbi Mendel Epstein faces charges of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and attempted kidnapping. Prosecutors allege the Orthodox rabbi’s team used brutal methods and tools, including handcuffs and electric cattle prods, to torture men into granting divorces. His defense attorney said the rabbi is a “champion of women’s rights.”
AROUND THE WORLD France: Jewish graveyard Five teens accused of vandalizing a Jewish cemetery faced preliminary charges Wednesday after the prosecutor said an “anti-Semitic motive” in the destruction seemed clear. The prosecutor described the group as having been overcome by a sort of “collective frenzy” when they desecrated about 250 graves and a Holocaust memorial at the cemetery in Sarre-Union. He said they called out anti-Semitic epithets and proffered Nazi salutes during the incident. He said all had admitted a role in the destruction, discovered Sunday. From Herald news services

Boeing focused on value CEO says he’s upbeat about protecting the company’s profit margin. By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer
EVERETT — Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said the company can keep cash flowing to shareholders while also investing in the aerospace giant’s future. “I see that as very doable,” he said Wednesday at the Barclays Select Industrial Conference in Miami.
He also said Boeing won’t have to cut 777 production rates as the venerable airplane’s successor, the 777X, comes into service with airlines early next decade. Industry analysts and investors have been concerned that Boeing can’t maintain the twin-aisle jetliner’s current production rate of 8.3 airplanes a month through the end of the decade. McNerney said the company needs to get 40 to 60 orders a year to bridge the transition. It got 63 in 2014. So far in 2015, Boeing has landed one order from Korean Air for five 777 freighters. That deal was announced Feb. 13, and
is worth $1.5 billion at current list prices. The actual sales price is typically negotiated down. Historically, Boeing has been able to charge a premium for the 777. Even now, the airplane has little direct competition. But other airplanes, including Boeing’s own 787-10, are eating into the market for legacy 777 models. Analysts and even Boeing executives have said there will likely be pricing pressure as it gets closer to first delivery for the 777X. But on Wednesday, McNerney was upbeat about Boeing protecting its profit margin on legacy
777 models. “We have a plan to mitigate the margin pressure, let’s say that,” he said. The plan includes cost cutting and the lack of direct competition, he said. McNerney said Boeing is not planning a 757 replacement in the short to medium term. Industry insiders have long speculated about whether Boeing will design a 757 replacement. Boeing might be studying reviving the 757, as the Wall Street Journal reported last week, but See BOEING, Page A10

Loaded container trucks line up at the Port of Seattle on Tuesday. Seaports on the West Coast that were all but shut over the weekend because of a contract dispute are reopening as the nation’s top labor official tries to solve a stalemate between dockworkers and their employers.
Powerful union key in dispute By Tim Logan and Andrew Khouri Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — The dispute that has snarled West Coast shipping revolves around a rarity in American business — a small but mighty union. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union represents 20,000 dockworkers, a fraction of the organized ranks of teachers, truck drivers or health care workers. But the port workers — who still queue up at hiring halls daily for work and spend years earning full membership — stand guard over a crucial chokepoint in the global economy. For decades these “lords of the docks” have been paid like blue-collar royalty. Their current contract pays $26 to $41 an hour, with free health care for members. Some earn six figures with overtime. Even as a growing chorus of business groups clamor for
They have unique skills that aren’t easily replaced. — Goetz Wolff, University of California
a resolution to their months-long contract talks with the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents shipping companies, the union sees little need to back down. “They have unique skills that aren’t easily replaced,” said Goetz Wolff, who teaches about labor and economics at the University of California, Los Angeles Luskin School of Public Affairs. “They’re not going to roll over and play dead.” They went back to work Tuesday, after a holiday weekend port shutdown that left dozens of ships parked off the coast. They also returned to the negotiating
table, where U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez is now trying to broker a deal. The talks have dragged on since May, but tensions have ramped up in recent days, with the shippers group closing the ports over the weekend and each side accusing the other of slowing operations. Both parties say they want to avoid repeating the 10-day lockout of 2002, which then-President George W. Bush stepped in to end. They have reportedly agreed on many major elements of a new contract but remain at odds over finer points, including the job of a particular arbitrator who handles disputes
on the Los Angeles and Long Beach docks. The same forces that have pulverized private sector unions in other industries — overseas manufacturing, lower transportation costs, global markets — have strengthened the hand of the ILWU, said economists who study global trade. “Every day, ship owners have to pay a lot of money for a ship. The cranes are very expensive, and if they’re not being used, that’s wasted money,” said Marc Levinson, an economist and author of “The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger.” “Containerization made the shipping industry very capitalintensive, and that effectively gave power to the union.” So did two decisions by ILWU’s founder and longtime president, Harry Bridges.

Triumph Motorcycles has announced with some fanfare that it is the top-selling European bike brand in North America. With January sales at a massive increase over the same month a year ago, the British manufacturer said it has beaten BMW and KTM to take the No. 1 sales spot. “Consumers continue to be attracted to our distinctive British styling with modern technology on our bikes,” Triumph’s chief U.S. operating officer said. The company said it had sold 858 units in the month, up from 462 units a year ago, with the Modern Classics line of Bonnevilles, Scramblers and Thruxtons accounting for almost half of sales.
Profits in decline for Carlsberg brewer Danish brewer Carlsberg said its profit nose-dived in the fourth quarter due to slumping sales in the key Russian and eastern European markets.

The Copenhagen-based company said Wednesday that revenue fell to 14.3 billion kroner from 15.2 billion kroner a year ago. Carlsberg expects sales in western Europe and Asia to continue develop positively, while currency devaluation both in Russia and Ukraine will put “significant pressure” on its performance this year.
UPS hit with cigarette lawsuit UPS deprived New York of millions of dollars in revenue by shipping nearly 700,000 cartons of untaxed cigarettes from Indian reservations to smokers statewide despite an agreement to stop, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday. The state attorney general and New York City corporation counsel are seeking $180 million from Atlanta-based UPS, saying the cheap cigarettes increased smoking by New Yorkers while also costing $29.7 million in lost excise tax revenue from the state and $4.7 million from the city. UPS denied it knowingly shipped cigarettes, saying it agreed in 2005 to stop delivering cigarettes in a policy that exceeded federal and state requirements. From Herald news services

The first was negotiating a single contract covering every port from San Diego to Bellingham. That prevents shippers from playing one West Coast port against another, as sometimes happens on the East Coast, said Peter Olney, a former organizing director at ILWU. The other was a 1960 agreement that embraced the arrival of containerization, essentially agreeing to shed thousands of jobs manually hauling crates and bags from ships’ holds in order to save thousands in the higher-tech — and higher-paid — work of operating forklifts and giant cranes. As container traffic boomed in the decades since, that tough choice paid off, Wolff said. “It was a brilliant quid pro quo,” he said. But the industry faces a new round of changes. Ever-larger ships are dumping more cargo at once on the docks, creating more congestion even when the work is going smoothly. That’s increasing the demand for automation, said Levinson, who noted that ports in Europe and Asia increasingly use robotics to move goods that union longshoremen handle today on the West Coast. Another threat is the widening of the Panama Canal, scheduled for completion next year. That will enable some larger ships to pass more quickly to the East and Gulf Coast, though experts disagree on

how much that could hurt West Coast ports. Still, the ILWU shouldn’t overplay its hand, Levinson said. “The employers and the union both have a common interest in the success of LA-Long Beach and in keeping the port as efficient as possible,” he said. As the dispute drags on, the union’s solidarity could be a key factor. The ILWU is known as an aggressive union — forged in violent strikes on San Francisco’s Embarcadero in the 1930s, booted from national labor groups in the McCarthy-era 1950s for being “too red,” and willing to shut down the docks several times in recent years in solidarity with smaller unions. That’s what happened in 2012, when clerical workers at the LALong Beach docks went on strike and clogged the ports for several days. Today’s workers come up steeped in tales of that sort of militancy, Olney said, and they see how well it pays off in their wages and company-paid health insurance. “In the port towns, everyone has a friend, a brother, a cousin, a niece who works in this industry and benefits from the power of the union,” he said. That’s true in LA’s Wilmington neighborhood, where blue ILWU signs can be seen stuck into fences, past the massive port complex, and in the San Pedro neighborhood, where nearly every restaurant and store downtown sports a sign in its window: “We support the ILWU and They Support Us.” At the Lighthouse Deli & Cafe a little further down the peninsula toward the

ocean, longtime server Lisa Finney said the ILWU generates good jobs that bring good money to the harbor towns. She would know. Her husband is a union foreman on the docks, and the job affords them a nice house and a comfortable life. “They keep us going,” she said. “There isn’t anyone here who doesn’t support ILWU.” Many more would like to join. Membership is typically earned only after years of so-called “casual” work, which involves showing up in the early morning at the cracked parking lot next to a junkyard in Wilmington, where day labor jobs are doled out — if there’s work to go around — at the lower end of the pay scale. Log enough hours, and eventually you qualify for full membership, with better hours and full benefits. When they open the rolls to new casuals, Olney said, “the lines are thousands of people long.” It’s good, if sometimes dangerous, work, said Roman Brink, a longshoreman who lives in San Pedro. For him it’s a family business. His grandfather started working the docks in the late 1940s, when they still hauled crates out of ships’ holds with hooks. He’s had uncles, cousins — in all, probably 50 family members — who worked there over the years, and he counts his fellow dockworkers as an extended family too. “It’s a brotherhood,” Brink said. And it’s one he hopes his sons will someday join too, the next time hiring opens up. “We’ve got to bring them in,” he said.

Housing turning point seen in 1st-time buyers Bloomberg News WASHINGTON — As a deep freeze grips parts of America in a typically slow season for housing, first-time buyers are flocking to Redfin’s property tours and classes, signaling their renewed interest in the market. “We are really hitting records in earlystage demand, in terms of people going on tours or even writing offers,” said Nela Richardson, the chief economist at Seattle-based Redfin, which has real estate offices in 26 states. “People are like, OK, this is the time to buy.” Younger Americans who have been locked out of the housing recovery as lenders raised standards and wages stagnated are getting a boost this year. Federal regulators late last year adjusted mortgage rules to reduce risks for lenders and cut premiums and down payments for lower-income borrowers. The slowdown of home purchases by investors

that doesn’t mean it’s committed to anything. Indeed, at last week’s Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance conference and on Wednesday, Boeing executives have pointedly poured water on such a prospect. “No business case would close today” for a 757 with new engines or a successor airplane, McNerney said. Whatever Boeing’s next clean-sheet airplane, the company doesn’t “want another 787,” at least in terms of the program risks and financial difficulties, he said. “We love the airplane,” but the “financial characteristics were not fun,” he said, putting it mildly. Those concerns echoed his comments last year that the company’s new mantra was incremental technological development, rather than moon shots. It still costs Boeing to more to make a 787 than it sells for, and industry analysts now expect the program’s deferred production costs to approach $30 billion.
has also created an opening for first-time buyers. They “are stepping a toe in the water in 2015,” said Richardson. “There are fewer cash buyers, fewer investors, and that gives people who actually need financing some breathing room.” New homebuyers who can only afford small down payments didn’t significantly increase their presence in the market last year. Borrowers who made down payments of 5 percent or less on home purchases made up 39 percent of the market in the fourth quarter, up from 37 percent a year earlier and down from 41 percent at the end of 2012, according to data released Wednesday by research firm RealtyTrac. Borrowers put down an average of 15.2 percent of the sales price in the last quarter of 2014, a small decrease from the post-housing crisis peak of 16 percent in the third quarter of 2013, according to RealtyTrac.
As for Boeing’s defense side, McNerney said he expects it will see “slow, moderate growth.” The company’s defense unit has faced pressure as its C-17 transport plane and fighter airplane programs wind down. Those are being offset by growth in its satellite and helicopter programs, as well as two military versions of commercial airplanes, the P-8 submarine hunter and the KC-46 aerial-refueling tanker, he said. He said the defense side would hold its investments levels and margins “come hell or high water.” In terms of his tenure at Boeing, McNerney said, “We’ve spent a decade trying to get the business fundamentals of this company as strong as the technical” aspects. Boeing will follow through on plans to spend $6 billion on stock buybacks over the next three years, he said. The company announced a plan to buy back $10 billion in late 2013. Late last year, it upped the total to $12 billion. “We’re very mindful of shareholders, as you’ve seen over the last few years,” McNerney said.

A trade deal that works for all per capita basis; 1 job in 3 is tied, directly or indirectly, to trade; and exports account for 30 percent of the jobs created in the last 30 years. The state exported $81.6 billion in products and services in 2013, some of that Boeing airliners, of course, but also apples, wheat, timber and even mink fur skins. The Trans-Pacific Partnership, by eliminating tariffs and other barriers to trade, will expand free trade with current partners and open new markets to the state’s industries and agricultural producers. Prior to the completion of the TPP talks, the Obama administration is seeking Trade Promotion Authority — also called fast-track authority — from Congress so it can conclude negotiations. Some have faulted the White House in its TPP negotiations for a lack of transparency regarding details of the trade proposals. Except for some leaked portions, the proposals are not
available to the public. Members of Congress, including 1st District Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., are allowed to view proposals and counterproposals, but the documents are only available in the Washington, D.C., Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. It might seem like a bad idea to give the president authority to approve a trade agreement before the details have been made public. Some have objected to fasttrack authority because it asks Congress to give its approval before negotiations have concluded and details of the agreement has been announced. But DelBene, who advises Obama as part of his Export Council, and others hold that the reason to approve Trade Promotion Authority, while negotiations are ongoing, is to set forth the conditions that such an agreement will have to meet before it’s approved — or not — by Congress and the president. This is not to say that there
aren’t things in the draft language of the TPP that Congress ought to make clear are not acceptable. Leaked details of the draft show, for example, that pharmaceutical companies have sought to limit developing nations’ ability to make generic drugs. Others have raised concerns that trade tribunals could circumvent U.S. courts regarding state and local laws. DelBene expects the Senate to take the lead on drafting that language for fast-track authority, work that for starters is in the bipartisan hands of Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Ron Wyden, D-Oregon. Congress should grant the Obama administration the fast-track authority it seeks, certainly for the jobs it will support now and add in the future, but also because it’s Congress’ best opportunity to set the conditions for the trade agreement to protect businesses, labor rights, the environment and self-government.
Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife has ignored this part of the food chain by considering these fish “forage fish”! Two important factors left out of the editorial.
for several days now. Every time I see it, I envision it burning in downtown Marysville or Everett. Some sort of fast action by the Feds, state DOT, or Legislature must occur soon or immediately. I understand that at least this last one was caused by a broken track. Did this happen because of the heavy oil car loads? Or has anyone considered that some person or possible terrorist group could be involved?
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■EVERETT UTILITIES
Rate increases are out of control On Feb. 11, KING-5 News presented a story it considered very newsworthy: Seattle Water is requesting a monthly increase of $4.11 on all Seattle residents’ water bills. They noted that doing this would require voters to approve it, and the Seattle City Council could then put it into action. Yet, here in Everett, the utilities department has been ratcheting up the monthly charges for water and sewer over a period of 18 months, or even longer. Each increase is even higher than the $4.11 monthly request by Seattle Water. In January 2013, Everett billing was about $125 for two months. With constant monthly increases, we are now in January 2015 at $185 for two months. Monthly increases seem to be constantly up by $5. Yet, if KING-5 sees a mere $4.11 increase in Seattle as newsworthy, how is it Everett Utilities gets away with these incremental increases for larger than Seattle is requesting? When will they reach a ceiling price, if ever? Robert Allen Everett
■■SMELT RUNS
Depletion is due to overfishing Regarding the Wednesday editorial, “Study of little fish a big deal”: As a life-long resident of Maple Grove, full and part time, I have personally watched the severe and dramatic decline of the smelt runs along the beaches between Utsalady and Rocky Point! Particularly in the past 10-15 years! The causes, which were omitted from the editorial, are not environmental! From the anecdotal observations and experiences of myself and other residents, the causes are unregulated, unenforced overfishing by commercial fishermen and others. The impact on resident eagles and other shore birds is dramatic! It was common to watch 20 to 30 eagles fish of the beach at high tide. This past summer? Rare to see a handful. Two years ago, we found several dead baby seals on the beach ... from gun shots!

Space prevents full disclosure of the extremes we see daily. While sympathetic to the short staffing of wildlife staff, failure to monitor and regulate is a significant problem. Rather than spend any tax dollars on “a study,”close this fishery down for three to five years for everyone. Thank you to Sen. Christine Rolfes, D-Bainbridge Island, for finally addressing a problem of the diminished smelt runs in the north Sound! For too long,

■■CAR TABS
Citizens’ will easily trampled Regarding the article, “Everett drivers will pay an additional $20 for car tabs”: Several years ago, the voters passed a law making “$30 car tabs” the law of the land, with higher priced exceptions for trucks and commercial vehicles. It amazes me how easily and efficiently we allow the politicians to trample all over the will of the people and both the state and federal constitutions. We are now experiencing what 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago was unthinkable. What will be forced upon, or taken away from, us in another 10 or 20 years? Richard Quint Lake Stevens

Latest disaster is a dire warning After watching another oil train disaster on TV, I am wondering which community in the Northwest would be willing to cope with this situation in West Virginia or previously in the Dakotas? Edmonds? Marysville? Or? This fire has been burning

IN OUR VIEW | Fast-track trade authority
The trick in negotiating a trade agreement with 11 other Pacific Rim nations is in securing the economic benefits of opening up trade with those countries while at the same time not weakening the environmental, labor and other laws we depend upon at home. Negotiations continue on the Trans-Pacific Partnership with Canada, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. China isn’t a part of these negotiations, but the TPP could serve as a framework for future talks with it. The TPP agreement, and others that could follow, are important to Washington because of our status as one of the nation’s top exporters. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman has said Washington stands to benefit from TPP more than any other state. According to the state Department of Commerce, the state is the largest exporter on a

■■IMMIGRATION
We don’t need Calderon’s ideas Regarding Mr. Calderon’s ideas about America’s immigration system, oh, yeah, we need his despotic input on our immigration system. (Sunday David Sirota column, “Tighter border’s unintended consequence.”) Should you cross into Mexico accidentally or on purpose, and be caught without papers, you are entitled to a unkempt jail cell, shackled to an iron bunk for months on end. Our system would work just fine, provided the laws on the books were enforced. We can pass any number of new laws and none will be effective in stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, because no new law will be enforced! So, the American people are stuck. Neither the GOP nor the Democrats are interested in controlling the border. Dennis Wojciak Marysville
ISIS intent on drawing us into Middle Ages
T
here’s a very 2001 feel to President Obama’s request for authorization to use military force and the nauseating sense that we’ll be at war indefinitely. Although we haven’t suffered a catastrophic hit as we did on 9/11, we’ve been witness to atrocities that are tailor-made to evoke an emotional response KATHLEEN PARKER from our allies and us. It doesn’t much matter at this point who started it or what prior actions may have contributed to present circumstances. We are faced with fresh horrors that demand present actions. Or, do they? As proposed, the new authorization would allow the commander in chief to use military force against the Islamic State, without geographical restrictions, but only for three years and not for “enduring offensive ground combat operations.” Translation: We’re coming to get you, Islamic State, but we’ll be in and gone before you know it. Both Democrats and Republicans have found aspects of the authorization with which they disagree, but at least they’re talking to each other. Even so, Americans are justified in wondering whether this crowd (or any) is up to the task and whether we’ve learned anything from previous wars. As Afghanistan taught us, it doesn’t make much sense to tell the enemy our schedule. What’s three years in the context of a centuries-old grudge? To this point, a Libyan terrorist group has announced its goal of destroying Rome. That’s so Middle Ages, but the men in black apparently didn’t get the memo about time marching on and are still seething at Pope Urban II. At least their declaration liberates us finally to admit if only to ourselves that we are, indeed, engaged in a religious war at the behest of zealots whose bloodlust boils down to didactic theater. Herein lies a crucial point in our deliberations: To defeat an enemy clinging to the first millennium B.C., it may be necessary to think as a Middle Ager. We wonder, for instance, at the ritualized executions of innocents and marvel at the technological sophistication of the Islamic State’s distribution of its videotaped savagery. Yet a quick glimpse at history confirms that these spectacles are merely modernized versions of vintage rites. Medieval punishments, including beheadings, burnings and crucifixions, were popular both for their power to terrorize and for the religious connotation of penance. These radical Islamists sure know their audience. They don’t necessarily hate those they kill; they’re not even necessarily punishing them. Rather they are using these human sacrifices as bait — for us. When President George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, he said he was taking the war to the terrorists. In this case, it may be the Islamic State that is luring us to their battlefields. Their faith in our axiomatic response is not unfounded. With each of their actions, the world has provided a predictable reaction. Six months ago, we began military action in response to the Islamic State’s beheading of journalist James Foley. After Jordan’s pilot was immolated, Jordan launched strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria. And, in response to the murders of 21 of its citizens, Egypt bombed Islamic State targets in Libya. These responses have a knee-jerk quality to them that speaks to concerns about a lack of strategy on our part, while enhancing the Islamic State’s recruitment and propaganda powers. Obama mentioned these concerns in his State of the Union address last month: “We must fight the battles that need to be fought, not those that terrorists prefer from us — large-scale deployments that drain our strength and may ultimately feed extremism.” He also promised that he wouldn’t send our troops into harm’s way “unless it’s truly necessary” or commit them to an open-ended war. But again, war inevitably creates fresh necessities that render timetables irrelevant. Meanwhile, we debate the parameters of war — whether three years is enough, too little or, most likely, inapplicable. Guardedly, we await the next atrocity and the deliberations of a Congress in which we have little confidence. Our legislators and president will need more than noble intentions or good ol’ American values. They’ll need the wisdom of the ages — and a coalition of the civilized world.

Kate Brown sworn in as Oregon governor John Kitzhaber, who was elected to an unprecedented fourth term last year, resigned amid allegations of influence peddling. By Jonathan J. Cooper Associated Press
SALEM, Ore. — Kate Brown was sworn in Wednesday as Oregon’s governor following an influence-peddling scandal that prompted the resignation of fellow Democrat John Kitzhaber, who had been the state’s longestserving chief executive before his swift fall from grace. Brown, formerly the secretary of state, assumed Oregon’s highest office during a ceremony at the state Capitol. In a speech to the Legislature after her swearing-in, Brown praised Kitzhaber for his contributions but also said “we must restore the public’s trust.” “There is a great deal of work ahead of us, and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and get to it,” she said in a brief address. Meanwhile, Kitzhaber, in one of his final acts as governor, commuted the prison sentence of a young inmate who’s serving a 12-year sentence for attempted murder and other charges. The commutation document, obtained by The Associated Press, doesn’t reveal why Kitzhaber decided to release Sang Dao more than three years before his earliest possible release date. However, last summer his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes, who’s at the

center of the ethics scandal that prompted Kitzhaber to step down, spoke at a youth correctional facility where the Dao, 25, received a college degree as part of a rehabilitation program, according to a report in the Woodburn Independent. Hayes faces allegations that she used her relationship to enrich herself. Kitzhaber, who didn’t attend the inauguration, has denied wrongdoing and has consistently maintained that he and Hayes worked hard to avoid conflicts
between her public and private roles. He did not immediately respond to an email asking why he’d decided to commute Dao’s sentence. Unlike most states, Oregon has no lieutenant governor. Under the state constitution, the secretary of state takes over if a governor steps down or dies. Brown, 54, was born in Spain, raised in Minnesota and came to Oregon to attend law school in Portland, the state’s largest city, and established a family law practice before her first run for

the Legislature. Kitzhaber handily won reelection in November to an unprecedented fourth term after surviving the botched rollout of Oregon’s online health care exchange, which turned into a national embarrassment. But the allegations surrounding Hayes’ work were more harmful, dominating headlines in the state following his victory. A series of newspaper reports since October have chronicled Hayes’ work for organizations with an interest in Oregon public

policy. At the same time she was paid by advocacy groups, she played an active role in Kitzhaber’s administration, a potential conflict of interest. The spotlight on Hayes led to her revealing that she accepted about $5,000 to illegally marry a man seeking immigration benefits in the 1990s. Later, she acknowledged purchasing a remote property with the intent to grow marijuana. The pressure on Kitzhaber intensified recently after newspapers raised questions about whether Hayes reported all her income on her tax returns. She has not publicly addressed the allegation and Kitzhaber has declined to. Both state and federal officials have launched investigations. Brown addressed the scandal at her swearing in, saying “Oregon has been in the national news for all the wrong reasons. That changes starting today.” She called on lawmakers to pass “meaningful legislation” to strengthen the state ethics commission and require timely release of public records. She pledged not to accept outside compensation while she’s governor and said the members of her household and her staff would not be allowed to seek compensation “for any work related to the business of the state of Oregon.” After her speech, former Govs. Barbara Roberts and Ted Kulongoski escorted Brown a short distance to her new office. Brown’s term will last two years. The Constitution calls for a special election that will come in November 2016. She hasn’t said whether she plans to run.
MICHAEL PENN / JUNEAU EMPIRE
PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon has filed a new lawsuit against Oracle Inc. saying the company is planning to pull the plug on hosting the state’s Medicaid system, which could jeopardize health insurance enrollment and re-enrollment for thousands of low-income Oregonians. According to the lawsuit, Oracle promised the state it would renew the contract for hosting Medicaid enrollment, but it suddenly notified officials earlier this month that hosting would terminate at the end of February. The state says this will bring enrollment in the Oregon Health Plan, the state’s version of Medicaid, to a grinding halt; it wants a judge to force Oracle to continue its workworking with the state. Oregon’s Medicaid system, which runs on Oracle technology, processes 26,000 low-income people each week, according to the state’s complaint. People can sign up for Medicaid year-round. The lawsuit was filed in Marion County Circuit Court on Friday. Oracle was the main technology contractor for the botched Cover Oregon health insurance exchange, which also included a Medicaid enrollment system. Oracle disputes Oregon’s characterization of the disagreement. In a letter to Oregon
officials, Oracle’s senior vice president and general counsel Dorian Daley said Oracle made no biding promises to Oregon and the hosting contract does not contain a provision to renew it. The letter was provided by company spokeswoman Deborah Hellinger. In the letter, Oracle blames the Oregon Health Authority, which oversees Oregon’s Medicaid program, for not having a contingency plan. Oregon Health Authority officials did not respond to repeated calls for comment about why Oregon didn’t find a different hosting company, knowing that litigation between the state and Oracle was imminent. State officials also did not explain how long it would take to find a new hosting service or how manual processing of Medicaid enrollment would look like if Oracle terminates the hosting. In April, Oregon ditched the Oracle-built exchange and switched to the federal exchange, HealthCare.gov, to sign up Oregonians for private health insurance. When the federal portal finds that a person may be eligible for Medicaid, it sends the information back to the state. HealthCare. Gov does not handle Medicaid enrollment because each state is responsible for managing its own Medicaid enrollment system. The state has continued to use Oracle’s software and hosting to run Medicaid.
Seattle tunnelling machine ‘Bertha’ on the move again By Martha Bellisle Associated Press
SEATTLE — Bertha, Seattle’s troubled tunnel machine, is on the move after being stalled for more than a year. The giant boring device that is trying to dig a new State Route 99 beneath the city started drilling late Tuesday and had moved 6 feet by Wednesday afternoon,
Lynn Peterson, secretary of the Washington State Department of Transportation, told a legislative committee. Bertha must travel another 14 feet through unreinforced concrete to reach an access pit, so workers can remove its front section for repairs. Peterson said they’re monitoring the machine’s temperature “to make sure she does
not overheat.” They’re also monitoring the viaduct, she said, and have seen no movement during the drilling process. The machine started digging the tunnel — the key element in the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project — in 2013, but only made it about 1,000 feet of its 2-mile trip. It overheated and stopped working in December 2013, and
workers spent most of past year digging the 120-foot-deep access pit. That work was stalled in December when ground sinking was detected in the area. The project is two years behind schedule. Seattle Tunnel Partners officials said they don’t know how long it will take for Bertha to reach the pit. They anticipate the machine may overheat during
the process, which would prompt them to shut it down to cool before resuming. Workers prepared the inside of the pit by cutting away a Berthasized circle where the contraption will, hopefully, emerge. The $3 billion project was designed to replace the SR99 viaduct, which was damaged in a magnitude-6.8 earthquake that struck Seattle in 2001.

UW AD says Romar has his ‘full support’ By Christian Caple The News Tribune
SEATTLE — University of Washington athletic director Scott Woodward says he’s as disappointed as anybody about the way this season has turned for the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team, but he’s still taking a big-picture view when it comes to
assessing coach Lorenzo Romar’s future with the program. And that has a lot to do with his past. “I look at the long-term approach to this thing,” Woodward told the News Tribune via telephone on Wednesday afternoon. “Coach Romar has succeeded on all three things we asked him to do — first and
foremost, give our kids a great education and make sure they do what they’re supposed to do in the classroom. Coach’s record has been fabulous on that front.” Woodward, Lorenzo emphasizing that Romar he evaluates “the
whole body of work,” also noted Romar’s run of NCAA tournament appearances (2004-06 and 2009-11), and said that for the most part, UW’s players “have been great citizens and great representatives of the university.” Asked if it’s safe to assume Romar will coach the Huskies next season, Woodward replied: “Barring disaster, I sure hope so.”
That seems to imply that a change is not likely this year. Still, Woodward said his expectation for the basketball program is the same as for each of UW’s sports teams — “at a minimum, we should be making postseason play, and we’ve fallen short the last couple of years,” he said. See ROMAR, Page C2

Hot-shooting Hatch leads GP over MP Junior makes eight 3-pointers as Grizzlies outlast Tommies in district semifinals. By David Krueger Herald Writer
MILL CREEK — The Marysville Pilchuck defense was focused on stopping Glacier Peak junior Zach Hatch. It didn’t matter. Hatch made eight 3-pointers and finished with 28 points as the Grizzlies outlasted Marysville Pilchuck 56-55 in a 3A District 1 semifinal Wednesday night at Jackson High School. “To win a game like this you have to have some guys step up and he did,” said Glacier Peak head coach Brian Hunter. “That was big. He had a great first half. They keyed on him in the second half so he didn’t have as many looks but he still caused problems. That’s a good night for him. We’ll take that.” Hatch was a big part of the win for the Grizzlies, who move on to face Stanwood or Arlington in the district championship game at 8 p.m. Saturday at Jackson See GRIZZLIES, Page C3

Stanwood beats Arlington, advances to district championship for third straight year. By David Krueger Herald Writer
MILL CREEK — It’s a new season and a lot of new faces for the Stanwood boys basketball team. But the result has been the same. The Spartans clinched a berth in the 3A District 1 championship game for the third consecutive season with a 65-55 win over Arlington in a
semifinal game Wednesday night at Jackson High School. The win assures the Spartans a berth in the state regionals, win or lose. “You don’t take things like that for granted,” said Stanwood head coach Zach Ward. “Our goal going into the year, one of the goals, was to get to regionals and there were three berths coming out of there and we wanted one. ... That’s what we’re celebrating tonight.”
This time around, Stanwood, which lost to Shorecrest last season after defeating Mountlake Terrace in the 2013 championship, will face Glacier Peak at 8 p.m. Saturday at Jackson High School. To get there, the Spartans had to take down their rival for the third time this season. Karsten Chaplik scored 25 points and the Stanwood defense held Arlington

Drafting inexpensive depth will be a must for Seahawks
S
EATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks are expected to reward quarterback Russell Wilson with a lucrative contract extension at some point this offseason. Linebacker Bobby Wagner may be locked up with a long-term deal as well, and talks have already started on a new contract for running back Marshawn Lynch. So by the time the 2015 season rolls around, it’s possible, even likely, that the Seahawks will have a nucleus of Wilson, Lynch, Wagner, safety Kam Chancellor,

it also creates an inevitable side effect of having to pay those young stars who helped Seattle get to consecutive Super Bowls. When the Seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy in 2013, four of their key young players, Wilson, Sherman, Thomas and Wagner, combined to count $5.16 million against the salary cap. By 2016, the cap hit for those four might approach $50 million.

A
couple of annual events make March a big month on the coastal beaches: the ninth running of the Ocean Shores-North Beach Razor Clam Festival and Seafood Extravaganza, and the shift in razor clam digging hours from afternoon/evening digs to the more popular morning tides. The festival runs March 20-22 and features clam chowder cook-offs and chowder tasting; seafood entree cook-off and tasting; live music and other live entertainment; a decorated clam gun/shovel auction; artisan and food booths, and more. It all takes place at the convention center in Ocean Shores. Hours are 2-7 p.m. on Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. It’s a good opportunity to combine the festival with some serious clam chasing, since all three days offer decent digging tides. March 20 is the last of this season’s p.m. tides, a minus 0.4 feet at 7:26 p.m., on all beaches except Kalaloch. Digging then shifts to morning tides on March 21 (minus 0.5 feet at 7:55 a.m. on all beaches except Kalaloch) and March 22 (minus 0.7 feet at 8:42 a.m. on all beaches except Kalaloch). Digs coming up, in addition to the three festival days, include: today through Sunday, with a minus 0.7-foot tide on Friday; March 2-5, all plus tides; and March 16-24, with a minus 0.7-foot tide on March 22, and a minus 0.6-foot tide on March 23.

PICK OF THE WEEK | Potholes walleye
Outdoor calendar
Potholes Reservoir never came close to offering safe ice fishing this winter, but the good news is the warmer water temperatures mean better walleye fishing. According to MarDon Resort owner Mike Meseberg, the Presidents’ Day weekend is the time to start targeting aggressive, pre-spawn male walleye, trolling blade baits for up to 30 or more take-downs per boat, per day. The top spot right now, Meseberg said, is the mouth of Crab Creek on the upper end of the Reservoir. Lind Coulee also will come on as water levels rise along with the tempera-
■ The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering a 12-week Boating Skills and Seamanship Course. Sessions are from 7-9 p.m. on Thursdays, beginning Feb. 26, at the auxiliary classroom at Chuck Olson Chevrolet in Shoreline (17037 Aurora Ave. N.). The class is for both novice and experienced boaters. The cost is $55 or $75 for two people sharing a book. For more information, call Mike Lowe at 425-743-9295 or send an e-mail to boatclasses@hotmail.com.

participation on the first day (Feb. 7), which was estimated at about 2,000 recreationists. There were a number of limits taken Saturday, but more time and effort were required than on the first day, Hymer said. “The river dropped and cleared between the two dipping days, which could have accounted for the lower harvest on Saturday,” he said. When the Cowlitz runs high and dirty, the smelt tend to stay in the Columbia. When the Cowlitz is low and clear, the fish tend to move away from the bank toward better cover in mid-river. Hymer said he’s heard no talk of opening additional dipping days this season. According to the Longview Daily News, the first day’s fishery was marred by several dozen citations handed out by state Department of Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers, mostly for over-limits stashed in vehicles or hidden in riverside brush. The limit is 10 pounds of smelt per person per day, about one-quarter of a five-gallon bucket.
Upcoming derby The Everett Blackmouth Derby, presented by the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club, is scheduled for March 14. The event offers a firstplace cash prize of $3,000; second, $1,500; and third, $500. Tickets, at $100 per boat (a maximum of four anglers per boat), are on sale at John’s Sporting Goods, Everett Bayside Marine, Greg’s Custom Rods, Ted’s Sport Center, Ed’s Surplus, Three Rivers Marine, Performance Marine, and Harbor Marine. Fishing will be restricted to Marine Areas 8-1, 8-2 and 9. For full rules and more information, visit the derby website, www. everettblackmouthderby.com, or call Woody Woods at 425-501-4024. Prior to the derby, John Martinis, of John’s Sporting Goods, will again host his popular — and free —

Double-digit fish can be taken from shore, such as the 13-plus pounder caught by angler Chris Herrera last week on the face of the dam. Herrera used a 6-inch customized swimbait, but the majority of the pre-spawn males will be under the 22-inch mark. For current fishing information, call 509-346-2651. — Wayne Kruse

This derby is a stop on the 2015 Salmon Derby Series schedule, sponsored by the Northwest Marine Trade Association, and participants will be entered in the drawing for the series’ grand prize boat, motor, and trailer package at the end of the season.
Susan Krein The north Sound recreational salmon fishing community has been diminished by the loss of Susan Krein on Saturday to cancer. This lovely lady was the “voice” of All Star Charters for 20 years, answering the phone and running the daily operations of the successful charter fishing business while her husband, Gary, was on the water. Our sincere best wishes are with the Krein family at this difficult time. Susan will be missed.
Islands closed The recreational salmon fishery in Marine Area 7, the San Juan Islands, closed Sunday after state fish managers evaluated catch rates for the area. Ron Warren, policy lead for the agency’s fish program, said he was “thrilled that anglers have done so well fishing in the San Juans over the last several weeks,” but that it was time to protect wild chinook stocks by ending the season. The closure followed earlier measures to lower the harvest rate and extend the season — cutting the daily limit of hatchery chinook from two fish to one, and instituting a Friday-through-Sunday fishing schedule. Adjoining Marine Areas 6, 8-1, 8-2 and 9 are scheduled to remain open into April.

Tra Holder hit 1 of 2 free throws and Arizona State escaped with the victory when Hamilton’s 3-pointer at the buzzer caromed off the rim.

The Huskies haven’t played in the NCAA tournament since 2011, and at 3-10 in Pac-12 play with five regular-season games remaining, they are in peril of finishing with their worst conference record since Romar’s first season at UW in 2002-03, when they finished 5-13. But Woodward offered somewhat of a defense of this season’s misfortune, noting that “circumstances have changed for the worst.” That’s a reference to the Jan. 26 dismissal of 7-foot center Robert Upshaw, the nation’s

left in the regular season, the Bruins and Sun Devils are hoping for a late-season push into the NCAA Tournament. UCLA is in much better shape, winning five of its past six games since a two-game sweep by the Oregon schools puts its bracket hopes in jeopardy.
EUGENE, Ore. — Joseph Young scored 23 points and Oregon held off several Colorado rallies in the second half for a victory. Dillon Brooks added 14 points for the Ducks (19-8, 9-5), who took over sole possession of third place in the Pac-12 Conference with UCLA’s loss to Arizona State. Dwayne Benjamin had 11 points and 13 rebounds. The Buffaloes (12-13, 5-8), who whittled a 17-point deficit down to five late in the second half, were led by Askia Booker with 20 points. The Ducks were outrebounded by the Buffaloes, 45-37, but took advantage of 16 turnovers.

After starting the season with an 11-0 record, the Huskies have won just three of their last 14 games, and have lost seven in a row — circumstances that lead Woodward to call this “kind of a weird season.” Still, Woodward said: “Coach has my full support. I think he’s doing a tremendous job. “Lorenzo’s body of work over his career here and what he’s done speaks for itself. He’s been incredibly successful, probably more so than any coach in the history of the UW program, and that goes a long way with me.” It helps that UW’s six-player 2015 recruiting class is rated
by Scout.com as the 9th-best in the nation. “He’s in this trough period right now of having a few couple of tough seasons based on circumstances out of his control,” Woodward said. “His recruiting class and what looks to be a very talented youth movement in Seattle-area basketball is going to be good for the University of Washington, and good for coach Romar.” Romar’s contract, signed after the 2010 season, runs through March 31, 2020. UW would owe him a lump-sum payment of $4.2 million if it were to terminate the contract before April 1 of this year. That buyout figure decreases to $3.5 million next year, and $3.2 million the year after.

said local winter blackmouth fishing has been tough. The flat tides recently haven’t helped a whole lot, but he noted bigger tide series are coming on, and bait seems to be increasing as well. “There are a few big fish in the area,” Kester said. “We caught a nice one over the weekend that was pushing 20 pounds, on the west side of Possession Bar. And I’ve heard that Point No Point and Pilot Point have put out a few nice fish the last few days.” The big one was hooked on a 3½inch Kingfisher Lite “yellowtail,” on the outgoing tide.
Fishing Textbook The Reel News, a tabloid-size monthly fishing newspaper published in Lake Stevens, will once again be required reading for 150-plus undergraduate students in a University of Washington class entitled “Recreational Fisheries Science, Management and Policy.” Christian Grue, associate professor and teacher of the course, was quoted in a release by TRN saying: “The course was extremely successful in 2014, and TRN as required reading contributed to improving the understanding of the complexity of the issues and different perspectives related to the management of recreational fisheries.” For more outdoor news, read Wayne Kruse’s blog at www.heraldnet. com/huntingandfishing.

Finals: 2:30 p.m., Saturday Where: King County Aquatics Center Storyline Two of the favorites for the team title, Jackson and Kamiak, have had quite the rivalry this season. Jackson ended Kamiak’s streak of 103 straight dual meet wins — that dated back nearly seven years — on Jan. 22 with a 100-70 win. The victory announced the Timberwolves as a title contender. But the Knights got their share of revenge at the 4A District 1 meet this past weekend. Kamiak won the district championship, finishing with 619 points, 67 points ahead of Jackson (549). Kamiak had winners in five individual events and two relay events to help hold off the Timberwolves. Henry Limm and Shelby Lee each won two individual events for Kamiak. In the Timberwolves victory over the Knights earlier in the season, they won five of the eight individual events and their depth earned high praise from Kamiak head coach Chris Erickson. That depth could be a key for the Timberwolves this weekend as they look to win both the girls and the boys team titles in the same school year. Kamiak might have something to say about that after their district meet victory.

But the Wildcats will have several challengers looking to prevent them from once again bringing the top trophy home. One of those challengers is new to the 2A classification, Wesco’s Shorecrest. The Scots moved down from 3A to 2A prior to the start of this school year, but elected to stay in Wesco where they compete against all 3A schools. The Wildcats and the Scots have a bit of history this season. The two teams met on January 13 with Shorecrest knocking off the defending state champs 100-70. The Wildcats won four of the eight individual events and two of the three relay events, but the Scots’ depth helped them pull of the win. Both teams are hoping to be in the running for a team title on Saturday. Herald staff

Storyline Wesco 3A teams seek to reclaim a podium spot this season after no swimmers from Snohomish County won an individual title at the 2014 state meet (Shorecrest senior Aaron Moss won the diving championship). Both Shorecrest and Meadowdale had swimmers finish in the top five, but that was as good as it got for the local teams. This year, Wesco teams want to change that and Glacier Peak senior Camden Wunderlich might be the league’s best chance. Wunderlich qualified with the second-fastest time of 1 minute, 56.87 seconds in the 200-yard individual medley and the top qualifying time (4:42.54) in the 500 freestyle. Nicholas Lavigne, Wunderlich’s Glacier Peak teammate, also is in a strong position in the 100 butterfly with the fourth-best time of 52.71.

High School, and also clinch a spot in the state regional round. Hatch netted six 3-pointers, for 18 points, in the first half, to give the Grizzlies a 35-31 lead at halftime. When Marysville Pilchuck took the lead late in the fourth quarter Hatch again stepped up, making a deep 3-pointer with 1:12 remaining in the game to give Glacier Peak a 56-55 advantage. The Grizzlies defense held up over the final minute to preserve the win. “It was the focus of our scouting report before the game ... and some of them were well-defended,” said Marysville Pilchuck head coach Bary Gould. “He just had a lightsout shooting night.” The win was a little revenge for Glacier Peak (18-4 overall), which was upset by Marysville Pilchuck 70-49 in the opening round of the district tournament last season. Hunter said the team didn’t focus on that loss going into Wednesday’s rematch. “We didn’t really think about that,” Hunter said. “As a team we didn’t talk about what happened

to 32-percent shooting (23-of-70) including 18 percent from behind the 3-point arc (4-of-22). “We shot the ball poorly,” Eagles head coach Nick Brown said. “If we hit some more shots, I don’t know if we win the game, but we definitely change our momentum. I don’t feel like we really got that flow going. “Our shots looked good,” Brown added. “I liked our shot selection, I like who’s shooting it. ... I wasn’t feeling like we were shooting shots that we didn’t normally shoot.” Stanwood on the other hand, shot 45 percent (21-of-46) from the field to build an early lead. Arlington closed the gap to four with 3:48 remaining in the contest but that’s as close as the Eagles would get. Chaplik made a 3-pointer and after some free throws the Spartans
last year. I think these guys just wanted to play in a district championship. We’ve had four teams play in district championships in seven years and that’s a really awesome thing for this group of seniors and this team to be able to say, ‘We did this too.’” Michael Painter finished with a team-high 25 points for the Tomahawks who made quite a few 3’s of their own to keep pace with Glacier Peak. “He’s such a special kid,” Gould said. “He’s so positive all the time and believing. The kids rally around that and he just kind of wills them — him and (Bryce) Juneau — they’re like, ‘We can still get this.’” Painter and Juneau, who finished with seven points and eight rebounds, helped the Tomahawks get back into the game with an 8-0 run early in the fourth quarter, with Marysville Pilchuck (16-6) tying the score on a layin by Juneau midway through the period. It was back and forth until the end, with Hatch’s final basket proving to be the difference. “Marysville is really talented,” Hunter said. “I really believe that, one through five, they’re as good as anybody we’re going to see. Painter was really tough tonight. He’s a really good player. At this stage, the teams are good. Pilchuck’s really
good. It’s playoff basketball and that’s what’s fun.” Brendan Tetrault had eight points for Glacier Peak — including a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Brady Southard (eight rebounds) and Justin Guffey added eight points apiece. “I thought Guffey was super-big tonight,” Hunter said. “Justin’s an athlete. He made big-time, athletic plays. Tetrault came in and shot the ball well.” Toward the end of the contest, Hunter was so excited he was wishing he could suit up and jump on the floor himself. “There’s some fun to it,” Hunter said. “I’d rather be playing than coaching, honestly. When you’re playing you get to be a part of it. As a coach, you just want to put your kids in the best position to be successful.” Gould and the Tomahawks hope to rebound when they host Shorewood at 7 p.m. Friday. Marysville Pilchuck can still clinch a regional berth with two more wins in the district tournament.
began to pull away. “It’s exciting to get back here to the championship game,” Chaplik said. “We’ve been here two straight years. We got to cut down the nets my sophomore year and unfortunately didn’t get that opportunity last year. We’re looking to get back there on Saturday and cut down the nets.” Ward said Chaplik was a big reason the Spartans once again find themselves in the district title game. “He’s grown up a lot,” Ward said. “He’s got the most experience on this team. This is his third-straight championship game. I think you’re seeing some experience out there. He understands, from being in those games, what it takes. ... That’s a senior that knows the importance of this game.” Nathan Aune led Arlington with 23 points. The 6-foot-3 wing posed a matchup problem for the Spartans, according to Ward. “Nathan Aune’s a tough guard,” Ward said. “He’s such an athlete that if you do go out and contest he can go by probably anybody on our
team. He’s going to score. You just need to contain the other guys.” The Eagles will host Ferndale in a loser-out game at 7 p.m. Friday. Brown is confident his team can rebound against the Golden Eagles. “Our guys are warriors,” Brown said. “Our backs are against the wall and we’ll see how we respond. I like our chances.” Ward was happy to get the win over Arlington, Stanwood’s rivals, for a third time this season. The two teams have played three times in the last five weeks. “It’s very hard,” Ward said. “And Nick’s a great friend of mine. I knew he knew what we were going to do, I was just hoping I knew what he was going to do.”

The Seahawks will likely never have as deep of a team as they did in 2013 when so many of their best players were on rookie deals, allowing Seattle to make “luxury” additions in free agency. But that doesn’t mean the Seahawks can’t keep winning even after paying so many players, most notably a quarterback likely to make in excess of $20 million per season. If Seattle is going to stay on top, some of the players being evaluated in Indy this week are going to have to play a big role going forward. Simply put, the NFL’s salary cap means teams can’t keep everybody. Receiver Golden Tate ended up in Detroit not because the Seahawks didn’t like him, but because they couldn’t afford to pay what the Lions were offering. Similarly, cornerback Byron Maxwell could be lost in free agency because the Seahawks can only afford to have so many “paid” players on their defense. Losing a few key players a year hurts, but it doesn’t have to be devastating, so long as the Seahawks have young, in other words, cheap, replacements who can fill in. If Tharold Simon, a 2013 draft pick, can play well in 2015, the Seahawks would be OK if Maxwell leaves, just as Maxwell helped mitigate the loss of Brandon Browner in free agency. Miss on too many draft picks, however, and even a star-studded roster featuring names like Thomas, Sherman, Lynch, Wagner and Wilson won’t equal success if the depth isn’t there. “It presents challenges, there’s no question,” Schneider said of a potential Wilson extension. “We haven’t sat down with his representatives. We are still going to be drafting young players and playing young players, so we might not be able to dip into free agency like you may want to here and there or compensate somebody else that you want to compensate that is already on your team, but just the fact that we’re going to continue to keep drafting players and playing young players should help us compensate for whatever level of compensation (Wilson’s contract) is.” Part of the reason Schneider remains optimistic is that in a draft he called “pretty cool ... It’s pretty spread out and it looks like it’s got some balance to it,” in a recent radio interview on 710 ESPN Seattle, the Seahawks will likely have 10 picks thanks to the compensatory picks they’ll get for the loss of Tate, Browner and Clinton McDonald in free agency. Given Seattle’s propensity to trade back in order to acquire more picks — the Seahawks entered the 2014 draft with six picks and ended up making nine selections — there’s a good chance the Seahawks will add a dozen or so players in this year’s draft. Obviously not all of those players will pan out for Seattle, but for the Seahawks to stay on top as a handful of players start taking up a bigger portion of the salary cap, at least some of those players being measured, studied and interviewed this weekend at the combine need to be key contributors in 2015 and beyond. “There is a lot of optimism for the future because of the youth of our team and the continuity that we think we’re developing by re-signing our guys and keeping it together as best as we can,” Carroll said prior to the playoffs. “It’s a lot of excitement about down the road and what’s next and big draft class coming up, and adding to it the competition that would generate will only make us better, so a lot of good stuff happening.” The “good stuff” in recent past means a lot of players earning big raises, so for Seattle to stay on top, drafting some inexpensive depth for the future is a must this spring.

The Arizona Republic reported Larry Fitzgerald’s new deal is worth $22 million, all guaranteed. Fitzgerald’s old contract was scheduled to pay him $31 million in 2015 and 2016, but none of that was guaranteed.
Fitzgerald to stay with Cards Arizona wide receiver agrees to a restructured, two-year contract By Gregg Bell The News Tribune
INDIANAPOLIS — The Arizona Cardinals re-signed the big-time wide receiver many wanted the Seattle Seahawks to sign. The 49ers say regressed Colin Kaepernick has been suddenly “dedicated” this winter, a term not associated with San Francisco’s quarterback much last season. Their general manager also said he wants to bring back to the 49ers veteran free-agent rusher and Seattle nemesis Frank Gore. The Rams’ GM refuted a report his franchise quarterback Sam Bradford has permission to seek a trade. He said “deleting” Bradford from the roster is not St. Louis’ formula to catch Seattle. The Seahawks’ news on the first day of the combine was what the rest of the NFC West did — or vowed not to do — for 2015. Arizona general manager Steve Keim began Wednesday at Lucas Oil Stadium by officially squashing the dreams some around Puget Sound had of eight-time Pro Bowl selection Larry Fitzgerald signing with the Seahawks, who could use a physical, veteran receiver. Keim said the new contract that will bring the 31-year-old Fitzgerald back to the Cardinals is “essentially for two years” through the 2016 season. The Arizona Republic reported the deal is worth $22 million, all guaranteed. Fitzgerald’s old one was scheduled to pay him $31 million in 2015 and ’16, but none of that was guaranteed. His previous cap number of $23 million for 2015 and career-low two touchdown catches last season fueled speculation Arizona might allow him to become a free agent. The Cardinals started last
season 9-1 but lost two games in five weeks to Seattle then lost in the wild-card round at Carolina while playing a third-string quarterback. Fitzgerald’s new contract frees Arizona of about $13 million under the 2015 salary cap, which sounds like it is going to settle at $140-143 million per team this year. It was $133 million in 2014. “We really put our foot on the gas pedal in the last week or so and were able to get the deal done pretty quickly,” Keim said. “The two biggest goals for us were really pretty simple: Number one, for us to compensate Larry for the player, the talent that he is and the leader that he is; and second, to clear salary-cap space for us moving forward so we can be aggressive and proactive when free agency starts (next month).” Keim said the Cardinals “would love” to have Darnell Dockett back and that the team will be talking with their star defensive tackle who missed all of last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee. “Talking” likely means Arizona is going to ask Dockett to restructure his contract to more cap-friendly terms. Dockett is currently due a $6,550,000 base salary that would be a $9.8 million salary-cap hit for Arizona in 2015. That’s a steep cost for a 33-year-old, 10-year veteran coming off reconstructive knee surgery. Keim twice mentioned the need for Arizona to get “more athletic” at outside and inside linebacker. That may be an eye north toward the two-time defending division-champion Seahawks’ ultra-fast linebackers Bobby Wagner, Seattle’s All-Pro in the middle, plus Bruce Irvin and K.J. Wright outside. The Seahawks and Cardinals both lost defensive coordinators
to head jobs recently. Dan Quinn left Seattle to lead Atlanta a day after its 28-24 loss to New England in Feb. 1’s Super Bowl. Todd Bowles, the architect of Arizona’s blitzing defense through last season, left recently to become the coach of the New York Jets. “Todd is a guy we are going to miss,” Keim said, noting how the coordinator had a knack for getting the most of Cardinals defenders by putting them in schemes ideal for them. The 49ers face-planted from coming within a tipped pass in Seattle’s end zone in the NFC title game from the Super Bowl two seasons ago to 8-8 and third place in the division in 2014. San Francisco general manager Trent Baalke, who with owner Jed York forced out coach Jim Harbaugh to the University of Michigan in January, praised Kaepernick for how diligently he is working this winter in Arizona. Kaepernick is drilling with former NFL MVP Kurt Warner on the mechanics of the position such as footwork, arm angles plus throwing with more balance and versatility in the pocket. “He’s a very dedicated player,” Baalke said of the object of much Bay Area scorn this past season. “The only reason he’s down there is to get better. “Hopefully it translates to (this coming season).” Baalke said he spoke a couple days ago with Gore, the 10-year veteran who is now a free agent. This was after Gore posted on his Instagram account Sunday: “I know the fans love me but I need to know if the (49ers) management does” now that he is 31. The Colts are reported to have strong interest in signing him. But Baalke said Wednesday “I still think he’s got it in him” and the 49ers “are going to do everything
we can to bring him back.” Washington and Miami are also reported to have interest in Gore. The Seahawks wouldn’t mind him gone from the NFC West. Gore’s 1,421 yards rushing in 18 career games against Seattle are his most against any NFL team. He has averaged 5.13 yards per carry against the Seahawks. St. Louis, which finished 6-10 and last in the division in 2014, has $76 million franchise quarterback Bradford running again on his way back from a second torn ACL in as many years. Asked about a CBSSports.com report Wednesday that Bradford has permission to seek a trade, chatty, natty Rams general manager Les Snead (black suit coat, matching V-neck shirt, black training sneakers with bright-gold bottoms) responded: “Deleting him is not the answer.”
Extra points Seahawks GM John Schneider is scheduled to speak here Thursday morning. He’s going to get asked for the latest he knows on whether RB Marshawn Lynch wants to play next season. Schneider said on 710 ESPN radio in Seattle last week he wasn’t sure whether Lynch, who turns 29 in April following a 1,600-yard rushing season with an NFL-best 19 total touchdowns, wants to retire or return. Lynch has a year and $5 million in base pay left on his contract. Schneider has said the team wants to renegotiate that deal. It would be a more cap-friendly total heavy in bonuses. How big a show has this combine become? Ten folks and four cameras crowded around a round table to talk to ... a kicker from Louisiana-Monroe. Hobart College offensive lineman Ali Marpet, the only Division-III player at the combine, had reporters four deep around him. Marpet said he consumes 7,000 calories a day to maintain his weight at a more NFLconducive 307 pounds. If only we could all be so lucky.

Gruden: RG3 goes into season as Redskins’ starting QB Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — After getting benched each of the past two seasons, Robert Griffin III is back to being the Washington Redskins’ starting quarterback. For now, at least. And the way coach Jay Gruden sees it, everybody — quarterback and coaches alike — needs to work hard to keep it that way. “We’ll go into the season with Robert as the No. 1 guy,” Gruden said Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine. “It’s up to Robert to continue to grow and mature as a quarterback. In the future, we want to see some improvement, and it’s up to us as a staff to get the most out of him.” Earlier this month, the Redskins sent out a letter to season-ticket holders that listed a group of the team’s core players. Griffin’s name was notably left out. That development, like so
many involving the Redskins and their quarterback situation, led to as many questions as answers. As the 2014 season wore on, Gruden was not shy about detailing Griffin’s deficiencies. Griffin, who dislocated his ankle in Week 2, moved in and out of the starting lineup. He finished 2-5 as a starter for a club that went 4-12 and finished last in the NFC East for the sixth time in seven seasons. When the regular season wound down in late December, Gruden declined to say whether Griffin would be considered the starter at the outset of training camp. The Redskins also must decide in the next few months whether to pick up a team option in the quarterback’s contract for the 2016 season. A former quarterback himself, Gruden shouldered plenty of the blame for Griffin’s struggles. The Redskins hired Matt Cavanaugh as quarterbacks coach, hoping a different perspective might
help Griffin as the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year starts his fourth NFL season. “I thought I’d be more handson with the quarterbacks than I was,” Gruden said. “I felt it was important to get another set of eyeballs on him.” Meanwhile, Gruden sounded almost surprised when asked about reports that Redskins backup Kirk Cousins was training with the coach’s brother, Jon, the former Bucs and Raiders coach who works with quarterbacks in Florida. “I didn’t know about it (ahead of time),” Gruden said. “Obviously, Jon’s my brother. I knew after the fact that (Cousins) went down there, as do a lot of quarterbacks. (Jon has) a great setup. He just likes to be a part of working with players.” Griffin has been working with longtime quarterbacks coach Terry Shea — an arrangement Gruden said he has no problems with.
“He’s an experienced guy. He played the position, coached a lot of quarterbacks,” Gruden said. “Just to have another element working with Robert is a good thing.”
Vikings expect Peterson to stay INDIANAPOLIS — Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said he expects star running back Adrian Peterson to stay with the NFL team this season. Several high-ranking Vikings officials have expressed their desire to bring Peterson back in recent weeks, and Spielman’s comments to reporters at the NFL scouting combine were the strongest yet. Spielman said he believes the “whole organization is on that same page” about Peterson returning once his NFL suspension is lifted. Peterson was punished under the league’s personal conduct policy for the child abuse case he was involved in. Spielman, however, declined to comment about whether or not the Vikings would ask Peterson to restructure his contract. His deal calls for a salary cap hit of $15.4 million in 2015.

MICHAEL DWYER / ASSOCIATED PRESS
The battle for the starting shortstop position between Chris Taylor (right) and Brad Miller (rear) figures to be one of the stop storylines for the Mariners heading into spring training.
over the final two months. Weeks, too, is a lock. The Mariners didn’t shell out a $2 million guarantee for a “maybe.” And general manager Jack Zduriencik made it clear the team has a spot for Bloomquist — if Bloomquist is healthy.
Spring battles Miller’s offensive potential makes him the preferred choice at shortstop if he avoids the defensive yips that surfaced on occasion last season. That’s a big “if,” though. The Mariners are quite willing to accept what would likely be less pop from Taylor in order to get a reliable glove at
shortstop. How that competition plays out could affect the rest of the roster because Miller, due to his versatility, could still make the final 25 as a reserve — particularly if Bloomquist isn’t 100 percent. If Taylor loses out, he likely will land in Triple-A Tacoma. Bloomquist will be closely watched. If back in form, he can play everywhere on the diamond — including a backup at short if Miller wins the job, and a backup at first to Morrison. Minor-league invite Shawn O’Malley can play short, which means he could get a look if Bloomquist isn’t full-go. Weeks makes an unlikely backup at short, but he is likely to see time at first. And everyone is interested to see how Montero, a former catcher who has coverted converted catcher, looks after an offeseason of dieting.
Help if needed Keep an eye on Ketel Marte, a 21-year-old who finished last year with Tacoma. A year from now, Marte, a switch-hitter, could be a strong candidate to be the starting shortstop. The future might also be glimpsed in D.J. Peterson, the club’s first-round pick in 2013 who is also in big-league camp for the first time. He is likely to shift, increasingly, from third to first and looms as a 2016 possibility. Any injury to Seager or Morrison could bring Carlos Rivero into the picture. A nine-year pro acquired from Boston on waivers, he had a big winter season in Venezuela.

Mariners’ infield figures to be strength PEORIA, Ariz. — Any infield that has All-Stars as fixtures at second base and third base, as the Mariners do with Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager, figures to be pretty good. Sure, there are questions elsewhere, but unlike last year, Seattle appears to have viable options in all areas. The projected competition between Brad Miller and Chris Taylor to determine a starting shortstop is one of the top storylines heading into spring training, which opens this weekend in Peoria, Arizona. Miller enters the spring with a slight edge because of his run-production potential. First baseman Logan Morrison closed last season with two strong months, but he’s been injuryprone — playing fewer than 100 games in each of the past three years — so the Mariners need a backup/alternative. That could be Rickie Weeks, the long-time Milwaukee second baseman signed last week to fill a reserve role. Weeks clearly doesn’t figure to play much at second with Cano around. Or it could be erstwhile megaprospect Jesus Montero, who is seeking to prove that he’s moved, finally, beyond a series of personal issues, including a propensity to

M’s prospect Sanchez makes slight improvement By Bob Dutton The News Tribune
PEORIA, Ariz. — The latest report from Venezuela says Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Victor Sanchez, while still unconscious, has made “some movements” with his hands and legs after undergoing surgery on his head. Lavinotinto.com also reported Wednesday that Sanchez, 20, might require further surgery after being struck in the head by a boat’s propeller while swimming at Carupano on Venezuela’s north central coast. The Mariners, in part due to federal health reporting laws, have only confirmed that Sanchez was hospitalized last Friday after being involved in an accident. Lavinotinto.com reported medical personnel are evaluating whether Sanchez, who remains in “critical” condition, is sufficiently stable to be transferred from Carupano to more advanced facilities in Caracas. The website previously reported Sanchez underwent a craniectomy to allow the draining of hematomas. A craniectomy is a procedure in which a portion of the skull is removed and not immediately replaced. The Mariners signed Sanchez, a Venezuelan native, as a 16-year-old 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.

Miller Botanical Garden’s
I
s it spring already? It’s sure been looking that way. After the dormant winter months, most gardeners revel in the first blooms of spring. The “Renaissance Season” brings with it feelings of hope, renewal and challenge.
Spring is the theme of this year’s Great Plant Picks list from the Elisabeth Carey Miller Botanical Garden in Seattle. Annually revealed during the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, Great Plant Picks is an educational program of the Miller garden. For nearly 15 years, Great Plant Picks has recommended nearly 1,000 plants for Western Washington gardeners. Our mild, cool climate provides for a long and colorful spring, which stretches from late
February into June. With advice from colleagues, Richie Steffen, curator of the Miller garden, and Rick Peterson, the Great Plant Picks manager, came up with the 2015 list of shrubs and perennial plants that celebrate spring and are brilliant in the months of March, April and May here in the maritime Pacific Northwest. Of the long list, the Herald picked seven of our favorites to share, along with Peterson’s description of each.
March 1: Yellow Fawn Lily Erythronium “Pagoda” is a great plant of its type (Erythroniums) for beginners, as it is easy and vigorous. Advanced gardeners love the yellow fawn lily for its timeless beauty. It is a spring ephemeral, meaning the foliage and flowers emerge in early spring, then fade away like some other bulbous plants so that later-emerging perennials can take over and fill the space. Plant yellow fawn lily en masse for a spectacular March show. 2: Variegated Winter Daphne This shrub has two great attributes — fragrance and lovely variegated foliage. The dainty flowers exclude an intoxicating scent in late winter and early spring amidst the green leaves edged in golden yellow. The evergreen foliage continues to provide interest and great texture all year long. 3: Lily of the Valley Shrub Another terrific shrub with evergreen foliage is Pieris japonica. In late winter and early spring they are covered with masses of tiny urn-shaped flowers. The selection committee went to a trial of this plant in Oregon, where it proved to be highly resistant to root rot.
April 4: Lady Tulip There are thousands of tulip cultivars and many are planted, never to return. The lady tulip is a great exception in that it consistently appears every spring for many years. The unique red and white striped flowers are quite a sight atop the glaucous gray-green foliage. Tulipa clusiana spreads by underground roots to form charming colonies. 5: Alpine Clematis The alpine clematis are a group of vines which have nodding, columbine-like flowers in varying shades of purple, pink, and rose. They are easy to grow, non-aggressive and smaller (shorter vines) – perfect today’s urban landscape.

May 6: Wood Anemone White, purple or pink flowers adorn this low-growing and spreading evanescent perennial. The fern-like leaves appear first and are topped by the daisy-shaped flowers. By early summer it’s gone. 7: Vulcan hybrid rhody Rhododendrons are symbol of the Pacific Northwest; indeed, it is the state flower of Washington. Rhododendron “Vulcan,” with its stunning red flowers, is one of the last rhododendrons to bloom in spring and is sun and heat

Unusual story behind name of lopsided bench
F
urniture often has unexpected names that honor the maker or a connection to a famous person. A Chippendale or Sheraton chair is named for the designer. Larkin desks are named for the company that gave them away. The Wooten desk was named for the maker, Mr. Wooten. But the Recamier sofa is named for the woman who posed for a portrait on the lopsided bench. For many centuries there had been armless benches and window seats — small benches
with arms at each end that did not block the view from the window. By the 1800s, there were long chairs with the French name “chaise longue,” made so your feet were kept as high as the chair seat. But by 1800, the seats included the “meridienne,” a bench with arms but no back made for lounging, not sitting. Madame Juliette Recamier had her portrait painted while stretched out on one of these. The portrait, by JacquesLouis David, became so famous the Directoire piece of furniture was called

a Recamier by the public and the name stuck. The end of the story is strange. When the portrait was almost finished, she hired another artist to do another portrait. David was so angry he never finished his picture. Part of the canvas shows in the background — her head was missing details and the artist did not glaze the painting. It was given to the Louvre Museum in See KOVEL, Page D3

Azara microphylla, or boxleaf azara chinchin, is native to Chile and Argentina and was introduced to North American cultivation in 1861.
What: Azara microphylla, or boxleaf azara chinchin, is an amazing small tree that shines in the winter landscape. Tucked amongst the tiny evergreen foliage are clusters of yellow pom-pom like flowers that send out an intoxicating vanilla fragrance in January and February. Mature plants have gracefully layered branches. Perfect for planting under tall limbed up conifers. This small evergreen tree has a lovely branching habit and requires very little pruning to maintain its graceful form. The best time for removing dead, broken or poorly formed
limbs is in late winter or early spring after flowering has finished. Where: Azara is an excellent choice for full sun as well as light, open, or dappled shade and would prefer a spot protected from strong winter wind. Plant boxleaf azara in rich or sandy well-drained soil and, in more shaded locations, water occasionally during dry periods; water more regularly if planted in full sun. Size: Reaches a height of 15 feet with a spread of 6 feet. GreatPlantPicks.org

tips for new homeowners
FEBRUARY
Have you just purchased a house? Sure, you may still have lots of work ahead of you before you can call it the perfect home, but settling in fast and getting cozy will set you on your way. Here are five tips to help you get comfortable.
NEW HOME OWNERS MONTH!
For a job well done, call in some real professionals — a plumber, interior decorator, house painter, etc.
1. For safety’s sake, change the locks on all exterior doors to ensure that the only people who have keys are those you have given to them personally. You should also draw up an evacuation plan and ensure there are enough smoke detectors and fire extinguishers in the house. 2. Entrust any renovations and repairs to true professionals to ensure the job is done well. If you have several similar jobs to be done (plumbing or electricity, for example), have them all done at the same time. Shop around for several quotes to keep costs to a minimum. 3. You don’t know what to do with the living room? You’re not talented in
Hardware
creating color combinations? Enlist the help of an interior designer to create the perfect ambiance. And if you have a lot of rooms to paint and just the thought of it is getting you down, hire a team of painters; the work will be done quickly and done well, and you can get on with other tasks.
4. If the house is big but your many belongings are already making it feel cramped, there is a solution. Call in a home storage systems expert to show you how to maximize the space you have. 5. Lastly, if it isn’t already done, you should invest in some basic tools for maintaining the house and yard. A lawnmower and a kitted-out toolbox are always useful!

Hellebores: Winter jewels of the Northwest garden H ellebores are commonly known as Christmas Roses or Lenten Roses. They of course have nothing to do with actual roses and in fact bear no resemblance at all. Go figure. But many varieties bloom from Christmas to Easter and therefore are associated with this time of the year. This is high season for hellebores so I thought it would be good to give them their 15 minutes of fame. Hellebores are mostly evergreen perennials that grow in shade or light shade and are not bothered by slugs, are drought tolerant once established, bloom in the winter and don’t need constant
STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER dividing. They are great companions for ferns, astilbies, hostas and a whole host of shade-loving plants. Their ease of care and winter blooming habit make them a good choice for the casual as well as the avid gardener. Here are some varieties to look for: The traditional Christmas Rose is a short plant about 1 foot tall with
mostly white flowers that nod down to the ground. Many new introductions now have flowers that are more upward facing so you don’t have to stand on your head to appreciate them. All hellebores flowers last months but lose their color after several weeks and turn green after that (cut them off at that point if you don’t like them). The Oriental Hellebore, or Lenten Rose, blooms just after the Christmas Rose and is taller (close to 18 to 24 inches) and comes in a much larger range of colors. Breeders have developed many new strains that sport colors from dark purple (nearly black) to pinks, yellows and whites. Many have
freckling on their petals and some are ruffled. In the last several years double varietes have come on the market that are beautiful. The Stinking Hellebore is a very attractive evergreen perennial that blooms with apple green flowers in February and March. The fragrance isn’t anything to write home about, but the foliage is wonderful. The Corsican Hellebore is a larger variety that can grow 3- to 4-feet tall and blooms in late March, again with the greenish flowers atop the 3-foot stems. I have one under my birch tree that performs like clockwork every year. It is also slightly more sun
and drought tolerant than the above varieties. For an exotic variation try “Pacific Frost” with its stunning mottled cream foliage. This time of year the new growth is spectacular. I have one of each of these varieties growing somewhere in my garden and look forward every winter to their performances. I have never seen a slug bite, never had to divide them, never had to spray them, and often dig up seedlings that I have shared with my gardening friends. Every garden needs a hellebores or two. You can find hellebores in full bloom now at just about any garden center. The exotic ones get snatched up fast so don’t

Seven smart ways to get creative with kitchen storage
N
o matter the size of your kitchen, it always seems like there’s never enough space. Maybe at one time you thought it was the perfect size, but after years of purchasing kitchen gadgets and new dishes, along with having a growing family, the thrill is gone. However, there’s no need to fret. We’ve got you covered with seven space-saving, creative storage solutions to make your kitchen feel brand new, and hopefully you’ll
Kovel From Page D1
fall in love with it all over again. 1. Go high. Step back and look at your kitchen as a whole. Notice anything? You may see there’s prime real estate up high, such as on top of the refrigerator and above cabinets and doors. Take advantage of these spaces to store cookbooks, canisters or even wine bottles. 2. Get low. Make existing features in your kitchen functional with toe-kick drawers. Most cabinets sit off the floor
with toe kicks, and now there are kits available to create drawers that open with a tap of your toes. A toe-kick drawer is a great place to house pet feeding dishes. 3. Hangin’ on. Sure, you can hang pots and pans from the ceiling or add a rack to a wall, but you might try hanging baskets to store dish cloths and towels. Use hooks to hang pot holders or utensils. Peg boards aren’t just for tools in the garage. Use them to
create a cool place to hang pots and pans, mugs or utensils. 4. Slide and glide. Install sliding drawers on the side of your range to add functionality. The drawers don’t take up much room but are deep enough to provide plenty of storage. A sliding storage tower (on wheels!) is another option to make use of narrow spaces, such as between your oven and fridge. 5. Rack it up. Door racks on the inside of
cabinet or pantry doors provide instant spacesaving storage. While you’re in the mood, add racks to the wall near the stove to store spices, olive oil or other often-used items for easy accessibility, or create a wine rack with everything you need — bottles, glasses and a corkscrew. 6. Island living. The options for using your island are endless. Add cabinets underneath for additional storage, shelves on one side to
store kitchen gadgets, or install a built-in trash can to preserve floor space. 7. Cubby it up. Take it back to elementary school by creating cubby holes for cookie sheets, cake pans or other bakeware. Think high again, and build cubbies in the space between the cabinet and ceiling to store wine bottles.

melodeons, pianos and organs. The melodeon was invented by Jeramiah Carhart in 1835. He wanted to make an instrument with a softer sound than a reed organ. His sons took over the business in 1898 and only pianos were made after that. The company went out of business in 1929 but Shoninger pianos continued to be made by National Piano Corporation of New York until the 1960s. Melodeons are hard to sell because few people play them. Prices are in the low hundreds of dollars. Q: I have a sugar container with ornate ear-like handles and no lid. I think it’s pewter. It’s marked with a circle and the words “Meriden B. Company” surrounding a shield with a balance scale inside it. It’s dated 1836. Can you give me the history and value? A: Your sugar container was made by Meriden Britannia Company of Meriden, Connecticut. It was founded in 1852 and became part of
International Silver Co. in 1898. The number on your sugar is not the date, the company was not in business that early, it’s the catalog number. Your sugar is silver plate, not pewter, and was pictured in Meriden’s 1886-’87 as part of a tete-a-tete set that included coffeepot, teapot, sugar and creamer with catalog numbers 1836 and 1837. A set of four pieces was originally $14.50. Value of your sugar today, about $25. Q: I am giving my grandfather’s antique brass barometer (circa 1930) to my sister for her birthday. Should I polish it, or does that detract from the value? A: Don’t polish it. If it needs to be polished, you should have a professional restorer do the job. Someone who repairs clocks might be able to polish it. Write to Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel at Kovels, The Herald, King Features Syndicate, 300 W. 57th St., New York, NY 10019.

Don’t take break-up out on painting
DAILY CROSSWORD
Adapted from a recent online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My boyfriend of six years and I broke up, and there is no chance of a reconciliation. While we were together, his mother made a painting for me and got it framed. I can’t look at it without anger, and I don’t ever see a future without looking at it with anger. Can I just throw it in the garbage? — Angry Why do you have to destroy it? Return it to your boyfriend or his mother. If that’s more than you can bear, then Goodwill or Salvation Army will take it off your hands. This is no generic, mass-produced widget. It’s something made by human hands, with love. Reject the love, fine, but allow the art to please someone else. Re: Painting: I had a similar problem with a framed photograph my ex had taken. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with her but I didn’t want to throw it out. I wound up driving it to her parents’ house while they were at work and leaving it between the front door and the storm door. No contact, clean conscience, art preserved for its maker out of decency. — Anonymous
CAROLYN HAX TELL ME ABOUT IT Elegant solution, thanks. Re: Painting: As an artist, I can tell you that your ex’s mom would absolutely like to have the painting back rather than pitched in the garbage. Mail it back, no hassle. Unless you absolutely hate her with an immense passion, then trash it and make sure she knows. — Anonymous 2 This too, as long as we’re taking the suggestion to trash it as a revenge-fantasy hypothetical, and not actual advice. Dear Carolyn: Last year a group of old high school friends vacationed at the beach. We mostly had a great time. But there was one woman who made the stay miserable for each of us in different ways. She is a bornagain Christian (fine, so is another of the group) but in-your-face

about it and full of passive-aggressive ways to make some of us feel bad about life choices. She would buttonhole another woman who is now a therapist for free therapy every morning, as they were the first to get up. This woman is now eagerly trying to get us all to do this again. We would love to do it — without her. How do we manage this? We can’t have the vacation without her because we’re all Facebook friends. — Vacationing With Friends Each of you has to make a decision about which you prefer: group beach vacation with the annoying person, or no annoying person even if it costs you a group beach vacation. If you choose the vacation, then each of you manages the annoying person individually. The therapist, for example, is responsible for setting boundaries, how fitting. And you are responsible for owning your life choices, telling her to back off, thickening your skin in the face of veiled criticism — or saying to her now, “I’ll consider another trip, but my faith is not a discussion topic. Deal?” Maybe that’s not your idea of a vacation, but done right it will release you all as her hostages once and for all. Washington Post Writers Group

Shoplifter knows it’s wrong but can’t stop Dear Abby: I need help! I have shoplifted several times. I was caught and have a police record. I am a grandparent. I know it’s wrong, and I don’t do it all the time. Is this a mental disorder, or am I just being stupid? If I know this is wrong, why do I keep doing it? And where do I start to look for help? — Sticky Fingers Dear Sticky Fingers: Some people shoplift because they are criminals, some do it for “thrills,” and others do it to make up for something else that is missing in their lives. Because you know what you are doing is wrong, would like to understand your compulsion and want to stop, the person to discuss this with is a psychologist. Your physician can refer you to one, or contact your state psychological association to find someone in your area. Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I have called it quits after three years. Distance was the main reason. It wasn’t a bad breakup, but it’s still a difficult transition for both of us. She would rather we not see or speak to each other for a while to let things heal. Her birthday is coming up soon, and I don’t feel right not acknowledging it. Her special day means a lot to her, and I still love and respect her for who she is. Is sending a card and gift appropriate, or should I just leave her be? — Distance Was The Reason Dear Distance: Send a birthday card and tell her that because the day is special, you couldn’t let it pass unacknowledged.

Dear Abby: My daughter is getting married in September. In June, she’s planning to have a bachelorette party in Mexico. My husband and I have never been to Mexico and thought, “Why not kill two birds with one stone?” Because I’m afraid of flying, I want my husband and son to also go to Mexico, but stay at a different resort. The party is only for three days, so when everyone else goes home, my husband and I will extend our stay. I have gone on girl vacations to Las Vegas before, where my husband has traveled with me and then gone and done his own thing. We would meet up after the girl vacation. I don’t see a problem with his traveling to Mexico, but my daughter absolutely objects. What do you think? — No Problem In Colorado Dear No: Could this be a telltale warning sign of a budding bridezilla? Your daughter appears to be making a problem where none exists. If your husband and son will stay at a different resort, they might as well be back in the states. That they are in Mexico shouldn’t inconvenience or inhibit your daughter at all. Universal Uclick

Two more seasons for Oliver NEW YORK — HBO has picked up two more seasons of John Oliver’s “Last Week Tonight,” which puts to rest any thought that Oliver would return to Comedy Central to replace Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show.”
Oliver just began the second season at HBO of his critically acclaimed comedy show. HBO said it has agreed to air 35 new episodes each in 2016 and 2017. Michael Lombardo,
president of HBO programming, said Tuesday that Oliver’s “unique ability to deliver socially significant commentary week after week, along with his innate comedic brilliance, puts John in a class by himself.”
Oliver came to HBO’s attention when he subbed for Stewart at “The Daily Show” during the summer of 2013. Stewart announced last week he was leaving “The Daily Show.” Associated Press

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Feb. 19, the 50th day of 2015. There are 315 days left in the year. This is the Lunar New Year of the Goat. Today’s highlight: On Feb. 19, 1945, Operation Detachment began during World War II as some 30,000 U.S. Marines began landing on Iwo Jima, where they commenced a successful month-long battle to seize control of the island from Japanese forces. On this date: In 1881, Kansas prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. In 1934, a blizzard began inundating the northeastern United States, with the heaviest snowfall occurring in Connecticut and Massachusetts. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, clearing the way for the U.S. military to relocate and intern Japanese-Americans during World War II. In 1959, an agreement was signed by Britain, Turkey and Greece
granting Cyprus its independence. In 1963, “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan was first published by W.W. Norton & Co. In 1976, calling the issuing of Executive Order 9066 “a sad day in American history,” President Gerald R. Ford issued a proclamation confirming that the order had been terminated with the formal cessation of hostilities of World War II. In 1985, the British soap opera “EastEnders” debuted on BBC Television. In 1997, Deng Xiaoping, the last of China’s major Communist revolutionaries, died at 92. In 2008, an ailing Fidel Castro resigned the Cuban presidency after nearly a half-century in power; his brother Raul was later named to succeed him.

Festival plans to film Shakespeare’s plays By Mark Kennedy Associated Press
NEW YORK — Playing the mad title role in Shakespeare’s “King Lear” was never supposed to be easy. That’s just what Colm Feore wanted. The classical actor chose to make his Lear “absolutely hateful” and “corrosive” for the Stratford Festival in Canada this past summer. He turned 56 in the role and his Lear, recorded on high-definition cameras, is a vigorous, fit monarch. “If you do it properly, you should be legless and speechless from scene to scene. And I decided to do it that way,” Feore said. “It takes an enormous amount of energy and I think a certain amount of ... daring to do it at all.” The same could be said for what the Stratford Festival intends to do with the movie: It will kick off a massive initiative to film and broadcast all of Shakespeare’s plays over the next 10 years. Feore’s “Lear,” which hits 350 movie screens across

Colm Feore performs the title role in “King Lear” at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario.
America on Feb. 25, leads the way, with “King John” following in April and “Antony and Cleopatra” in May. Three or four new films will be broadcast each year as part of the almost $40 million effort. The attempt to bring the complete works of William Shakespeare to audiences around the world is the first by a North American arts organization and the dream of the
Festival’s artistic director Antoni Cimolino, who also directed “King Lear.” “For the almost 400 million people that live on this continent, and for young people especially, hearing the language spoken the way they speak it is very important because then you realize that Shakespeare is not foreign,” Cimolino said. “He belongs to all of us. It’s our birthright.” The company has a seven-month season every year with about a dozen plays in four Ontario venues performed by some 120 actors. Performing Shakespeare is at its core — there are usually three of four of his plays done a season. But works also range from ancient Greek plays to modern tales. Feore, who has logged 17 seasons with the company, was called on to do more than just Lear last year. He alternated the role with a part in the romantic comedy of manners “The Beaux’ Stratagem.” The actor, who has joined the Fox series “Gotham” as the Dollmaker, said not doing his Lear for eight shows a week
likely made his performance even better. “I could shred the voice. I could be physically destroyed and emotionally completely finished at the end of every performance knowing that I had a day or so to recover,” he said. Cimolino will decide which upcoming shows will be recorded after seeing how audiences respond. “When it really works well for the audience, it works well for the camera, we’ve found.” Down the line, he also hopes the possibility of broadcasting a Shakespeare play live might be attempted. “We wanted to walk before we ran,” he said. The live cinema event company BY Experience is helping distribute The Bard’s canon. Julie Borchard-Young, who runs BY Experience with her husband, Robert, said theater-goers will now be able to sample great Shakespeare productions without having to cross the northern border. “It’s not really realistic to expect audiences be able to visit in person at all times so this is a really great way for Stratford to reach them where they are,” she said. “We hope the Stratford series will really excite viewers across the U.S. and they’ll support it and it will have a chance to grow.”
