Bill would help in disasters Bicycle OSO MUDSLIDE

By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

OLYMPIA — Emergency officials are a critical step closer to ensuring that their ability to mobilize resources for fighting

wildfires also applies to disasters such as the Oso mudslide.

The House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved a bill last week to ensure the state wildfire mobilization law covers responses to

non-fire incidents such as landslides, earthquakes, floods and outbreaks of contagious disease.

It also spells out that fire departments, fire districts and regional fire protection authorities are eligible for reimbursement of expenses related to a mobilization.

A year ago, the same panel didn’t act on an almost identical

bill because its chairman, Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, had concerns it might trigger an increase in mobilizations and bring a surge in costs to the state.

The Washington State Patrol denied a request for a stateauthorized mobilization during the deadly Oso mudslide

MARYSVILLE — In the darkened auditorium at Marysville Pilchuck High School on Tuesday, night faith leaders from around Snohomish County offered prayers and words of support for those whose lives were changed Oct. 24.

Four months ago a freshman brought a gun into one of the school’s cafeterias. Just after 10:30 a.m. he stood up at the table where his friends were eating lunch. The Tulalip boy

opened fire. His bullets hit five teens, and then he turned the gun on himself.

Killed were Andrew Fryberg, 15, and Zoe Galasso, Shaylee Chuckulnaskit and Gia Soriano, all 14. Nate Hatch, 15, is the only survivor.

“This did happen to us. Some of our children, five of them, died in violence. We are left looking for a foundation to stand on,” said the Rev. Dwight Lewis of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Marysville.

Riders will travel from Arlington to Darrington with a goal of raising money for a trail project and to remember the people killed in the slide.

ARLINGTON — The upcoming McClinchy Mile bicycle ride is sending people on a route the 30-year-old annual event hasn’t taken before.

In the past, riders have followed routes starting in Arlington and heading toward Stanwood or Granite Falls. This year, the event is being changed to the McClinchy Mile Oso Strong Ride, going from Arlington to Darrington on Highway 530. The goal is to raise money for a local trail project and remember the 43 people killed by the deadly March 22 mudslide, according to the BIKES Club of Snohomish County.

The route takes riders through the slide area. It’s an eyeopening and sobering experience, club President Kristin Kinnamon said. She recently tested the route. She’s driven through the area before, but being on a bicycle was different.

The devastation seemed closer, and signs of new life were more visible, she said.

“You experience the silence, but you also see the greenery and the growth,” Kinnamon said. “It looks a lot different than it did six months ago.”

The McClinchy Mile has been a yearly event since the 1980s and is the BIKES Club’s biggest fundraiser. This year, the group is working with the Centennial Trail Coalition to raise money for repairing and rebuilding parts of the Whitehorse Trail, which stretches about 28 miles from Arlington to Darrington.

The ride is scheduled for March 15, with bicyclists leaving Haller Middle School in Arlington starting at 8 a.m. They can ride to Darrington or turn around at a fishing hole near Oso. Rhodes River Ranch Restaurant offers a mid-day food stop, and the event wraps up around 4 p.m., Kinnamon said.

Registration is open and

Tired of spilling your coffee? Try a latte instead

By Amina Khan Los Angeles Times

If you’ve ever had your coffee suddenly slosh out of the drinking hole or over the cup rim and onto your pants, you know the struggle. But according to a team of physicists, there’s an easy solution: Buy a nice, foamy latte instead.

The findings, described in the journal Physics of Fluids, show that a thin layer of foam over a moving liquid’s surface can dramatically cut down the slosh. The discovery could be useful for far more than just coffee, such as providing ideas for alternative

ways to safely transport enormous containers of oil and gas.

Study co-author Emilie Dressaire, a mechanical engineer at New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering, said she first noticed the phenomenon while grabbing her coffee at a drive-through.

The man handing her the drink gave her a stopper to keep it from spilling — but then told her she wouldn’t need it, because she’d gotten a latte.

“That got me thinking, ‘Well, what does he mean by that?’” Dressaire said.

“And then I realized what he meant was the foam

of the latte was going to prevent spillage while I was driving around.”

Lead author Alban Sauret of the French National Center for Scientific Research, had a similar experience in the pub — he’d noticed that Guinness, a very foamy beer, was highly slosh- and spillresistant, Dressaire said.

The scientists knew they needed to test this strange phenomenon in the laboratory. They filled a narrow rectangular container with a mix of water, glycerol and Dawn dishwashing detergent. They used a needle to inject 3-millimeter bubbles into the bottom of the

container, which floated to the top of the fluid to form a foamy layer.

The scientists then shook the container to see what happened. They tried jolting it quickly and rocking it steadily back and forth, and then took video footage of the waves that formed in the fluid.

The sudden jolt helped them measure how long a wave lasted after a shake; the steady rocking motion helped them measure a wave’s maximum height.

(Both are movements your coffee cup might experience, by the way.)

The scientists found that a mere five layers of these

tiny bubbles were enough to reduce the wave height tenfold. That means that with a generous layer of foam on top, the liquid’s scary mini-tsunamis were roughly a tenth as high.

Any more than five layers didn’t seem to make much difference, the team found.

This was specific to their narrow container, Dressiare pointed out: The exact optimum number of layers varied given a container’s size and shape.

Also, all bubbles were not located equal: The foam in the middle didn’t help dampen the sloshing very much. Most of the work was being done by

the foam in contact with the container walls. The scientists think it’s because the edge foam helps dissipate the sloshing liquid’s energy through friction.

The scientists’ findings could actually be useful for managing the transportation of a whole variety of energy-rich fluids, particularly tanker ships full of oil and gas. That’s because the pressure on a tanker’s walls from all the sloshing could eventually cause a rupture.

Layering bubbly foam over the liquid fuel in these tankers, Dressaire said, could potentially help reduce any dangerous sloshing.

Toronto police stumped by mysterious tunnel Authorities say it poses no criminal threat and doesn’t appear to lead anywhere.

By Rob Gillies Associated Press

TORONTO — Police are asking for the public’s help in trying to determine who built a mysterious underground tunnel near York University in Toronto.

Deputy Chief Mark Saunders said Tuesday the tunnel is 10 yards long and six feet high. He said it isn’t near any infrastructure and doesn’t appear to lead anywhere.

The chamber was discovered Jan. 14 in a secluded wooded area by a conservation officer who spotted a large pile of dirt.

Saunders said more than one person with some level of expertise likely built it.

Police found plywood

wall supports, a gas generator, moisture resistant light bulbs, a sump pump for removing ground water, a wheelbarrow and food and beverage containers.

They also found a rosary with a Remembrance Day poppy nailed to a wall.

Saunders said there’s nothing to suggest a criminal element.

“It’s not your everyday find,” Saunders said.

He said he doesn’t have a working theory on why it was built but said whoever built it took quite a bit of time to build it.

He said it was warm and comfortable inside. Police believe it was used during the winter.

The bunker is located about 27 yards from the fence of the Rexall Centre entertainment complex, which hosts the Canadian Open tennis tournament in the summer and will be used to host tennis events for the Pan American

Games in July.

He said it didn’t represent a threat to the games and said the bunker would have been an eye sore

to police.

Saunders said they’ve collected all the evidence they need and have filled in the tunnel for

safety issues.

“Until we get what the intent is behind this, we’re going to continue to investigate,” Saunders said.

City ‘ecstatic’ over Lynnwood land deal Once proposed for a housing development,13 acres will be preserved and kept viable for fish in a nearby creek.

By Sharon Salyer Herald Writer

LYNNWOOD — For the past decade, the future of 13 acres of wooded, steep hillside

overlooking Meadowdale Beach Park has been debated.

Now that battle has come to an end. The city of Lynnwood has reached an agreement to buy the property from developers for

$6 million, Jared Bond, the city’s environmental and surface water supervisor, said Tuesday.

“I’m ecstatic,” he said. “I know the neighbors are, too. It’s the culmination of so many people’s efforts. I think it’s safe to say the city is really creating a legacy out there.”

Everett-based West View

Properties had proposed a development called Seabrook Heights, planning 70 homes on about 9.6 acres of the land, Bond said. “It was a very high intensity development being proposed,” he said.

Hundreds of large secondgrowth trees would have been removed from the hillside to

make way for the homes.

Neighbors, joined by the city, said they were concerned that the development would add to water runoff flowing down the hillside and toward the county park, increasing the risk of landslides.

Felony assault charge for alleged attack

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

SNOHOMISH — A man accused of lighting his wife on fire during an argument last month has been charged with felony assault.

Prosecutors allege that the Snohomish man, 30, doused the woman with rubbing alcohol and then lit her on fire. The woman was badly burned on her chest, arms and hands.

She told Snohomish County sheriff’s detectives that her

allegations and the man threatened to burn her. He insisted that she was lying and poured the rubbing alcohol on her and used a cigarette lighter to ignite the liquid, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern wrote.

The woman delayed reporting the attack for a few days out of fear that her husband would hurt her again, or harm their children.

The couple’s children were home at the time of the incident.

Prosecutors allege that after the woman reported the assault to police the man sent her text messages, threatening to harm her and her parents and brother. One message read, “You’ll regret this,” according to court papers.

Police said that the man was carrying eight grams of methamphetamine when he was arrested.

He was being held on $100,000 bail.

Prosecutors charged the man with second-degree domestic violence assault.

va Abram will pose a formidable question in a talk Saturday at the Mukilteo Library. Her program is titled: “Defeating Racism Today: What Does It Take?”

Whoa, that is one huge question. A performer and storyteller with a focus on African-American history, Abram didn’t hesitate when asked if she could offer her essential idea for defeating racism. What does it take?

“It’s going to take all of us working together, not blacks and Eva Abram whites working separately,” the Seattle woman said Tuesday. “We need each other to understand each other’s perspective. That is a difficult thing.”

Abram, a speaker with the nonprofit organization Humanities Washington, will provide a chance to explore the difficult subject of racism during her free talk at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Mukilteo Library.

In addition to the Sno-Isle Libraries program, the city of Lynnwood will host a Black History Month celebration starting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at the Lynnwood Fire Department Station 15. That event, titled “Building Bridges in Our Community With Trust and Inclusion,” will feature a keynote talk by Snohomish County Executive John Lovick.

Abram looks at today’s race issues through a lens of history. Yes, slavery and the era of Jim Crow laws that followed it are gone. In Abram’s view, what remains is a racial divide that is less visible, but unjust all the same.

She recalled a time not so long ago when places in our country were brazen in their display of whites-only signs. More subtly, many neighborhoods were offlimits to black residents.

“Things have changed. We don’t have those whites-only signs. We don’t have those covenants, the Supreme Court banned those,” Abram said. “But when the practice was supposed to have disappeared, people

Share your company's story in Retales

torytelling. It’s not just for campfires.

Businesses around the world love to share stories. Coca Cola’s polar bears speak volumes without ever saying a word. Nike challenges people to live a maverick life and “just do it.”

And the face of a former insurance salesman still resonates the success story of a man named Colonel Harland Sanders.

Yep, these are all big businesses with hefty piles of advertising dollars to give what people crave: emotional and powerful connections that come through telling a story.

But what about the little guys? The mom and pop shops, boutiques, agencies and neighborhood brickand-mortars that want to introduce themselves to the community and distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack? What opportunities do these small business owners have to share their stories?

Here’s a hint: insert your business name here and imagine an article and advertising devised just for you.

When a business shares its story, it utilizes a practice called brand story marketing. A significant

part of your brand story is capturing the public’s attention and giving people a great memory to recall when they need your type of product or service.

The Retales section of The Daily Herald was designed to share your company’s brand story to help you build a successful, sustainable business and a brand that will garner loyalty.

The program is affordable and it provides branding frequency and consistency.

Advertisers commit to seven full-color ads, designed by The Herald’s art department, to run over 14 weeks. The ad runs every other Wednesday in the Retales section of the newspaper, which is distributed to over 335,000 readers each week. The advertiser also receives 10,000 impressions on HeraldNet.com.

At just $235 per ad, Retales is an affordable way for your business to benefit from the frequency and repetition that makes an ad campaign successful.

During your Retales advertising campaign, your business will be featured in a 650-word article written by a journalist who specializes in brand story

marketing. A professional photographer will capture an image of you and your business to include alongside the story.

There are several ways to deliver your brand story in your article. Entertaining anecdotes, your company’s history, customer testimonials, community involvement, cool new services or products, your hobbies and talents — any of these can be skillfully featured in your article.

Let’s take a walk down the Retales memory lane to see how a few brand stories came to life.

At Prospector Liquidation in Everett, the store has a beloved mascot named Prospector Pete. For the store’s November 2013 story, Prospector Pete starred in a holiday-themed tall tale about the founding of the company.

Scott McMillan’s business in Monroe is all about two-wheel and four-wheel fun, so focusing on the fun factor in the article about Adventure Motorsports was a must. McMillan shared his love for quadding with his kids, finding adventure at Rimrock Lake and hanging out

with members of the Star Chapter 428 Motorcycle Enthusiast Club. Plus, he was able to include details about favorite products at his store.

Earning a few gray hairs while teaching your teen to drive became the theme for A-1 Auto Service Center’s article in July.

The theme provided a backdrop for car maintenance tips and three testimonials from parents with teen drivers who received upstanding service and education from the A-1 team in Everett.

At Monroe

Fireplace, it’s all about the seasons. For the cooler months, a discussion about zone heating was appropriate for the company’s Retales article in August. When sunshine was on everyone’s mind, the topic du jour was grilling, and manager Damon

White was proud to admit in a playful summertime article that he is a Certified Egghead who loves to grill food on one of Monroe Fireplace’s most popular products, a Big Green Egg.

Cousins blame each other in Marysville gunfire Land Herald staff MARYSVILLE — A young man called 911 Monday to report gunshots that have since landed him in jail.

The suspect, who turned 18 earlier this month, now is being held along with his cousin, 15, for investigation of drive-by shooting.

Marysville police say the pair are blaming each other for firing at least 11 shots from a .40-caliber handgun. The gunfire

occurred just after 3 p.m. in the 3600 block of 73rd Drive NE in the Sunnyside neighborhood.

No people were injured or property damaged, Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said. Witnesses said that the shots came from a white car that had been heading north.

About four minutes after the shots rang out, the 18-year-old reportedly called 911 to say that he’d heard the gunfire and that

somebody had slashed a tire on his vehicle.

Police went to the 4600 block of 67th Avenue NE. They found a silver 2002 Audi and four young people who were changing a flat tire.

Officers were told that the tire had been slashed while the group had been visiting friends.

They denied knowing anything about the gunfire.

Police separated the group and searched near

their car. They found a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun hidden along a fence line.

That’s when the 18-yearold reportedly said he and his cousin had been in Sunnyside when the gunfire broke out. He said they spotted a man who earlier had threatened his cousin with a handgun, and that the 15-year-old began shooting in the air, according to a police report.

The 15-year-old said

his older cousin was the shooter and had fired the gun out of the sunroof as he drove the car.

The weapon was seized as evidence. The younger teen was booked into juvenile detention. The 18-year-old was being held Monday at the county jail. He has an extensive juvenile history and last year faced adult charges in a robbery. That case ended with a misdemeanor assault conviction, records show.

Friends: Missionary abducted in Nigeria courageous Associated Press

SEATTLE — A Seattle missionary described by friends as courageous, tenacious and passionate about helping the people of Nigeria has been abducted from a school in the violence-torn African nation, her church said.

The Free Methodist Church said in a statement on its website that it received a report Monday morning that the Rev. Phyllis Sortor was kidnapped from the Hope Academy compound in Emiworo, Kogi state.

The message from Bishop David Kendall said the U.S.

Embassy has been notified, and the State Department and the FBI are working with local authorities to find and rescue her. Kendall didn’t immediately return a call and email from The Associated Press.

Nigeria is a country marred by violence, from militants and bandits in the oil-rich south, to intratribal and religious violence across the center of the country to a five-year-old northeastern Islamic uprising, the last of which alone has killed 10,000 people in the past year, according to the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations.

The State Department said it is aware that a U.S.

still had that internalized.

White privilege and status were hard to give up. It’s been internalized in many ways throughout our whole system.”

Blatant racism is hardly ancient history. A University of Washington civil rights and labor history project includes photos of Ku Klux Klan gatherings in the 1920s in our region, among them a KKK float in a 1926 parade in Bellingham — four years after my mom was born.

The Klan also burned crosses on the shores of Silver Lake and at the intersection of Hewitt and Colby avenues in downtown Everett.

Carl Gipson, a longtime Everett City Council leader who turned 90 last year, endured the sting of racism when he moved his African-American family

into an all-white north Everett neighborhood in the 1950s.

In 1977, when he had served on the council for five years and was a Boy Scout leader, Gipson was blackballed from membership in the Everett Elks Club. In a 1997 Herald article by Scott North and Bob Wodnik, he spoke about the Elks incident, saying: “It was one of the biggest tragedies that ever happened in my life. I guess it was ignorance on my part because I didn’t know they weren’t ready.”

Humanities Washington is a Seattle-based group that uses stories to spark conversations around the state. As a Humanities Washington speaker, Abram has shared episodes in our state’s past that have largely gone untold.

In a previous presentation, she spoke about Charles Mitchell, a boy

citizen has been reported missing in Nigeria, where kidnappings for ransom are common. An FBI spokeswoman in Seattle, Ayn Dietrich, said the agency is trying to confirm the reports.

Friends and colleagues said Sortor is a visionary who gets things done and doesn’t back off.

“She is my inspiration of courage,” Mike Henry, staff pastor of the Wenatchee Free Methodist Church in Washington state, told the AP. Henry has taken several trips to Nigeria to work with Sortor on projects, including bringing wheelchairs .... building to polio victims, schools and introducing a

born into slavery in Maryland. By 1860, he was 12 and living with a white family in Washington Territory, but was still considered legal property. His case became an international incident when he ran away to Victoria, part of the British Empire that did not accept slavery. He was freed by a court in Victoria.

“Kids need this history to understand our system, where it came from, and to continue to move forward,” Abram said.

She sees much in today’s news that is dismaying, from cases of black men shot during encounters with law enforcement to comments by former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani questioning President Barack Obama’s love of country.

“Those are racist comments, how he (Obama) doesn’t even love America like other presidents,” Abram said.

Still, she has hope that racism can be defeated. She

Barb Ingram, a member of the neighborhood group opposed to the development, said she’s been photographing Meadowdale Beach Park and the landslides that have occurred in the area since 1997.

“The city of Lynnwood has realized the importance of protecting the park and protecting the land,” she said. “We’re so grateful for that.”

David Beck, president of Everett-based West View Properties, could not be reached for comment.

Bond said the city was negotiating with the company until about 10 a.m. Monday hammering out the agreement.

The City Council gave its approval Monday evening. West View has signed the agreement, he said.

Snohomish County awarded Lynnwood a $5 million conservation futures grant in 2013 to buy the Seabrook property. The city added $1 million of its own to come up with the $6 million purchase price.

“It’s an absolutely beautiful piece of property; now it’s protected forever,” said Lynn Sordel, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural arts.

This is the third land purchase the city has made in the Lund’s Gulch area since 1998, with the city-owned land now totaling 91 acres, he said.

The purchase also will help protect the cutthroat trout, coho and chum salmon that live in nearby Lund’s Gulch Creek, Bond said. “How many viewing opportunities do you have to see salmon returning, especially in an urban area like this?” he asked.

“When you reach a huge milestone like this, it just feels good,” Bond said. “It’s hard not to be a little emotional about it.”

said Tracy Norlen, a university spokeswoman.

“We are proud of her untiring service to God and the people of Nigeria, and are earnestly praying for her safety and immediate release,” Norlen said in a statement.

Sortor’s stepson, Richard Sortor, attended a prayer service Monday night at the university, telling reporters that “she believes in God, she’s doing God’s work,” KING-TV reported.

John Van Valin, who lives outside Indianapolis and has known Sortor for about 15 years, said she’s selfsacrificing, vivacious and committed to missionary work.

Sortor is scheduled to come to the Wenatchee next week to talk about her missionary work and to help raise money to build secondary schools, Henry said.

If she learned about a village with kids, Henry said, “she would get in a canoe and travel over there, meet the kids, set up sponsorships and build a school.”

Sortor’s parents were missionaries in Mozambique, and she grew up there, Henry said. She graduated in 1964 from Seattle Pacific University, which is affiliated with the Free Methodist Church,

Woman wishes she could have saved son who was shot

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

KENNEWICK — When Agapita Montes-Rivera first watched the video of her son being gunned down by police in Washington state, she rushed to the TV set in a futile effort to help him.

The 60-year-old woman from tiny Parotita, Mexico, was more than 2,000 miles away and hadn’t seen her son in a decade.

“Truthfully, when I saw they were chasing him, and he puts his hands up, and they shoot him, I threw my hands at the television,” Montes-Rivera said Tuesday. “Had I been there in person, I would have been the first to jump in so they wouldn’t have shot him.”

Antonio ZambranoMontes’ Feb. 10 death in the agricultural city of Pasco has sparked protests and calls for a federal investigation. Police killed the unarmed man who spoke little English after he allegedly threw rocks at officers.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Montes-Rivera said the three officers involved should go to prison.

“Police killed a person just for carrying a rock,” she said in Spanish at a library

in Kennewick, across the Columbia River from Pasco. Montes-Rivera was in Washington for the grim task of retrieving her son’s body and returning it to their village for burial.

“A lot of police who carry guns believe they can just kill anybody,” she said. “It has happened too many times.”

Pasco Police Capt. Ken Roske declined to respond directly to the woman’s comments. But he said the department has confidence in an investigation being conducted by a regional task force.

Authorities have said Zambrano-Montes was acting erratically the night of the shooting, and officers felt threatened. They said a stun gun failed to subdue the 35-year-old agricultural worker.

In a bystander’s video, five “pops” are audible, and Zambrano-Montes can be seen running away, pursued by three officers. As the officers draw closer, he stops, turns and faces them.

Multiple “pops” are heard, and he falls to the ground near a busy intersection.

The Franklin County coroner has ordered an inquest into the death, and federal authorities are

monitoring the task force’s probe. The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington on Tuesday sent a leader to Attorney General Eric Holder asking for a federal investigation.

Montes-Rivera, who has 16 children, said she was not aware of any erratic behavior in her son’s past.

“He was cheerful, a hard worker,” said the mother, adding Zambrano-Montes came to the United States 10 years ago to find work and help out his family.

The family’s attorney, Benjamin Crump, has said Zambrano-Montes was in the country illegally and spoke little English. Crump also represented the family of Michael Brown, a black man killed by an officer in Ferguson, Missouri.

Court records show Zambrano-Montes was arrested last year for assault after throwing objects at Pasco police and trying to grab an officer’s pistol.

Montes-Rivera arrived in Pasco on Monday, and she had not yet had any contact with law enforcement.

She said her husband was unable to make the trip and remained in Mexico.

The last time MontesRivera spoke with her son was Dec. 30, when she

asked him to come home for a visit. He replied that he needed to make more money to make the trip.

The Mexican government is paying for Zambrano-Montes’ funeral home expenses and to transport the body back to Mexico, according to the Mexican counsel in Seattle.

Mexico’s president earlier criticized the shooting.

Zambrano-Montes’ killing has sparked two weeks of protests in Pasco, which has a population of 68,000

and is more than 50 percent Hispanic.

Montes-Rivera said she is surprised by all the attention the death has received.

She was overwhelmed when she visited a makeshift memorial to her son downtown.

The killing was the fourth

by Pasco police in less than a year. Officers were exonerated after similar investigations in the first three cases. Critics in the latest case say the officers should have used less

than lethal force to subdue Zambrano-Montes.

Authorities have said Zambrano-Montes was not armed with a gun or knife.

Whether he had a rock in his hand when he was shot is still under investigation.

Two of the officers involved in his shooting were white, and the other Hispanic. All three opened fire, though the number of shots has not been disclosed. Authorities have asked for patience as the investigation continues.

Alaska quietly becomes third state to legalize marijuana

By Molly Dischner Associated Press

JUNEAU, Alaska — Alaska on Tuesday became the third U.S. state to legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults, but it was a subdued milestone.

Washington state, there were no street parties and public smoking displays in Alaska’s biggest cities. But backers of legal pot said the mild reaction was fitting because they are aiming to promote responsible consumption of marijuana as they work with lawmakers during the next few months in preparing its sale.

“We wish people would just celebrate in a little less public of a fashion,” said Bruce Schulte, an advocate for legalization. “We want to see this industry thrive in a responsible, regulated

fashion, and part of that is responsible consumption.”

Placing Alaska in the same category as Washington state and Colorado with legal marijuana was the goal of the pro-pot coalition that included libertarians, rugged individualists and small-government Republicans who prize the privacy rights enshrined in the Alaska state Constitution. Legalization is expected in Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

When the public voted last November to legalize marijuana use by adults in

private places, voters left many of the details to lawmakers and regulators to sort out. That has left confusion on many matters.

The initiative bans smoking in public, but it doesn’t define what that means, and lawmakers left the question to the alcohol regulatory board. There were missteps even as the board decided pot can’t be smoked in places generally accessible to the public, like parks, schools or on the street in Alaska.

limits on those freedoms,” said Tim Hinterberger, the chairman of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana, pro-pot group, said at a Tuesday morning news conference.

Despite the statewide directive, Alaska still allows different communities across the state to adopt different standards of what smoking in public means to them. In Anchorage, for instance, Police Chief Mark Mew warned people against smoking on their porches if they live next to a park. But far to the north, in North Pole, smoking outdoors on private property will be OK as long as it doesn’t create a nuisance, officials there said.

but it started late because organizers gave out the wrong telephone number.

The call originated from the board’s Anchorage office.

However, a locked gate blocked access to the meeting site.

On Tuesday, police in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, were prepared to hand out $100 fines for people smoking marijuana in public. But officers working the first shift after it became legal at 12:01 a.m. didn’t encounter anyone consuming marijuana in public.

Pills before, after sex can help prevent HIV

By Marilynn Marchione Associated Press

SEATTLE — For the first time, a study shows that a drug used to treat HIV infection also can help prevent it when taken before and after risky sex by gay men.

The results offer hope of a more appealing way to help prevent the disease beyond taking daily pills and using condoms, although those methods are still considered best.

The study, done in France and Canada, is the first to test “on demand” use of Truvada, a pill combining two AIDS drugs, by people planning to have risky sex. The uninfected men who took it were 86 percent less likely to get HIV compared to men

given dummy pills.

“That impressed me,” Dr. Scott Hammer said of the size of the benefit. He is an AIDS specialist at Columbia University in New York and heads the Retrovirus Conference going on in Seattle, where the results were discussed Tuesday.

Daily Truvada pills are used now to prevent HIV infection in people at high risk for it, and studies show the drug helps even when some doses are skipped. Health officials have been leery of billing it as a “chemical condom” out of fear that people will not use the best prevention methods, but many won’t use condoms all the time or take daily pills.

The study of Gilead Science’s Truvada was led by

the French national HIV research agency.

Men were given fake or real Truvada and told to take two pills from two to 24 hours before sex, a third pill 24 hours later, and a fourth pill 48 hours after the first dose. The men also were given condoms and disease prevention counseling.

The study was stopped early, in November, after 400 men were enrolled and researchers saw that the drug was working; there were two new HIV infections among those on Truvada and 14 in those on dummy pills. The two infections in the Truvada group were in men who stopped using the pills after more than a year in the study.

The drug was safe, but nausea and diarrhea were more frequent among men who used it. Only one stopped using it because of side effects.

Dr. Susan Buchbinder, an AIDS specialist at the San Francisco Department of Public Health, called the results exciting but warned that it can’t be assumed they would apply to male-female sex, because different types of sex expose partners to differing amounts of virus.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still recommends daily Truvada pills for prevention, and many men in the French study ended up taking them nearly that often because of how frequently they had sex, said

the CDC’s HIV prevention chief, Dr. Jonathan Mermin.

“We need all the options we can get” for preventing HIV infection, Mermin said. “People choose different prevention methods.

What we want is for them to choose effective ones and to use them regularly.”

One advocate for wider use of prevention pills — Damon Jacobs, a New York City psychotherapist — agreed.

For years, the public health message was “condoms only, condoms only, condoms only,” he said in a speech at the conference.

“People are having sex for pleasure” and need alternate ways to reduce their risk, Jacobs said.

A second study

presented at the conference by the U.K. Medical Research Council found that daily use of Truvada cut the risk of infection by 86 percent in a “real world” test of gay men aware they were taking Truvada for HIV prevention.

Researchers assigned 545 gay men to get Truvada right away or a year later.

The study was stopped in October after HIV infections occurred in only three men given Truvada but in 19 of those assigned to get it after a year.

As in the French study, rates of other sexually spread diseases were similar in both groups, leading researchers to conclude that use of the prevention pills was not increasing risky behavior.

German toddler dies in measles outbreak Bill:

By Geir Moulson Associated Press

BERLIN — An 18-month-old boy has died of measles in Berlin, the first known death in an outbreak of the disease that has seen more than 570 cases in the German capital since October.

An autopsy on the child, who died Feb. 18 and wasn’t immunized against measles, showed he had an unspecified medical condition, but it wouldn’t have led to his death without the measles infection, the Charite hospital said Tuesday.

Authorities believe the outbreak began with a child asylum-seeker from Bosnia and spread to the wider population partly because many older adults in Germany were never immunized and many younger adults received only one vaccine instead of two, as is now

recommended for full protection. About half of those infected were adults, officials said.

Although it’s rare for measles to be fatal in developed countries, the disease remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.

The virus kills up to 10 percent of children infected in developing countries that have high levels of malnutrition and poor health care. Approximately 145,700 people died from measles in 2013, mostly children under the age of 5, according to the World Health Organization. Most measles deaths are caused by complications associated with the disease.

Measles is highly contagious and health officials say more than 95 percent of a population needs to be vaccinated to prevent outbreaks. Vaccination rates

across Europe fell after a now-discredited study that suggested a link between autism and the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella.

Health officials recommend immunization in children at 12 to 15 months of age, followed by a second dose for full protection. The second shot can be given either one month later or before the child starts school, at 4 to 6 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control in the United States, which adopted the twodose protocol in 1989.

“There’s a misconception that measles does not kill in developed countries, but it unfortunately still happens,” said Dr. David Elliman, an immunization expert at Britain’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, citing similar deaths in the U.K. in recent years, mostly among people with other health

problems, like asthma.

Elliman said measles kills about 1 in every 1,000 people in developed countries and that the death in Germany wasn’t entirely unexpected given the size of the outbreak.

Berlin last had a major measles outbreak, with 493 cases, in 2013.

Germany’s health minister, Hermann Groehe, called Monday for increased efforts to ensure children are vaccinated and said that if that fails, authorities might consider making immunizations mandatory, though he said that isn’t currently on the agenda.

Groehe has criticized the “irrational scaremongering” of some vaccination opponents, though local officials say many of those infected in Berlin appear to simply have been unaware of the risk rather than opposed to vaccination.

Other experts were unconvinced a mandatory vaccination policy would work.

“That could end up backfiring on you, if people are absolutely opposed to getting the vaccine,” said Adam Finn, a professor of pediatrics at Britain’s University of Bristol, who said the idea of compelling parents to vaccinate their children was controversial.

“Everyone is agreed that getting the vaccine is the best way to stop outbreaks, but how we get people to do that is another story,” he said.

Finn said the relatively large number of adults infected in the current outbreak in Berlin exposes problems in previous immunization programs.

A 2013 study found vaccination rates among young adults 18-29 of around 80 percent, while less than 4 percent of people ages 60-64 were vaccinated.

Vigil: People from all faiths From Page A1

The vigil was organized by the Rev. Terry Kyllo of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Marysville and the Rev. Pat Twohy, a Roman Catholic priest who ministered to the Tulalip Tribes for two decades. Kyllo is part of the community team focused on recovery efforts.

Mary Schoenfeldt was in the audience Tuesday night. She was hired to direct the recovery efforts in the Marysville School District. She was heartened by the turnout.

“Recovery is an individual journey. It doesn’t have to be a lonely journey, though,” she said.

“The more unity we see

the more we know we are not alone in this.”

Superintendent Becky Berg was humbled by the support from the faith community and those in the audience.

“We can’t fix what

happened on Oct. 24,” she said. “We can define ourselves by how we move forward.”

Pastor Kim Reynolds of Hillside Church became emotional as she told the crowd that her daughter

was in the cafeteria that day. She read from Psalm 61 — asking God for His shelter in times of struggle.

Jafer Sidiqui with American Muslims of Puget Sound told the crowd to lean on each other, not

to hide their grief and sorrow.

Others will help carry your burdens, Sidiqui said.

“Usually you have to think a little bit before you go riding in March,” Kinnamon said.

The BIKES Club plans

to make the Oso Strong Ride a one-time event, she said. In 2016, the group intends to go back to the McClinchy Mile fundraiser that’s been in place for decades.

There have been routes along Jordan Road, Pioneer Highway and out to Menzel Lake and Lake Roesiger roads, all starting from Arlington. The McClinchy also has been hosted in Monroe.

An altered route

“But we’re not trying to take away from any of the

She expects people to be respectful on the route, especially through the slide area.

“You’re riding through and you’re just struck by everything,” she said.

“We’re not specifically asking people to be silent in that area, but I don’t think we have to.”

Oso added urgency From Page A1

because it was a non-fire emergency. In making their decision, authorities relied on an opinion from the state Attorney General’s Office critical of the law’s use in response to the 1999 World Trade Organization riots in Seattle.

The mobilization law took effect in 1995 and has been used 180 times without rejection. The only other non-fire mobilization was for a motorcycle rally in Spokane in 2005.

Last March’s denial, during an obvious natural disaster in which 43 people died, added urgency to years of efforts to retool the law, changes that were sought by fire chiefs from Snohomish County and around the state.

The Oso rejection led to a recommendation for change from the nonpartisan commission created

by Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick to review the disaster and the broader emergency response. It was one of the key action items in the group’s report.

On Monday, Hunter said he stopped the bill in 2014 partly because it did not seem the existing law was preventing fire officials from taking needed actions in emergencies.

He said he’s since gained a better understanding that the bill would “basically put the situation back to where it was before the attorney general opinion.”

The bill, House Bill 1389, advanced to the Rules Committee on Feb. 19. It could be voted on by the House as early as next week. An identical bill, Senate Bill 5181, is awaiting action in the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

Wayne Senter, executive director of Washington State Fire Chiefs, lauded Hunter’s decision.

“The major reason for passage this year versus last was the chair’s willingness to have an open dialogue and for us to have an opportunity to educate the committee leadership and members on the need and the safeguards in place to ensure that (the mobilization law) would only be used in the most devastating incidents,” he wrote in an email.

Senter also praised Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, who has sponsored the bill for several sessions “before some of the disasters demonstrated the need to do this.”

Justices weigh warrantless records searches

By Gene Johnson Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Justices on Washington’s Supreme Court had a lot of questions Tuesday about a little-known state law that allows investigators to get a suspect’s bank, phone, email and other records without a search warrant.

Under the law, adopted in 1971, prosecutors have been able to get those records without showing probable cause — the standard that applies to search warrants. Instead, they can get the information with a subpoena issued under a lesser standard in a secret hearing called a “special inquiry.”

The justices heard arguments over whether that’s a violation of privacy protections in the state Constitution. Scott Peterson, a senior deputy prosecutor for King County, argued that while a warrant is required to search someone’s home or their actual phone, probable cause should not be required to obtain records a person voluntarily turns over to third parties, such as phone records.

Some justices questioned that analysis. They noted that in many cases phone companies or cloud computing firms maintain virtually everything that’s stored on a phone, making a records search very similar to a physical search.

“The distinction you’re drawing between something that exists in the phone and what’s stored offsite is a reality that doesn’t exist anymore,” Justice Mary Yu told him.

The arguments came in an appeal brought by Michael Reeder, who was convicted of swindling an octogenarian out of $1.7 million in a scam real-estate deal.

Before bringing charges,

Peterson went to a special inquiry judge and obtained 20 subpoenas for Reeder’s bank records.

A financial analyst for the state spent 600 hours poring through them looking for evidence of the crime.

Reeder’s attorney, David Donnan, told the justices that such a vast intrusion into someone’s private affairs must require a more stringent showing by prosecutors than that required under the special-inquiry law.

“It doesn’t make any sense to me that Mr. Reeder, who had not been charged with a crime, who presumably they did not have probable cause to believe he had committed a crime, could have his privacy so completely invaded,” Donnan said.

The Legislature created the special inquiry proceedings following a wide-ranging public corruption investigation in Seattle. They were designed to be a more efficient alternative to the grand jury system, which prosecutors found to be expensive and cumbersome. The procedure allows the judge to issue subpoenas for evidence, such as bank or phone records, at the request of a prosecutor who has “reason to suspect” crime.

Peterson called them a “very good tool” that allows law enforcement to investigate crimes that might otherwise go unpunished.

But reasonable suspicion is a lesser standard than probable cause, and defense attorneys say that’s the problem.

Under Washington’s Constitution, people can’t be disturbed in their private affairs without “authority of law.” The high court has never ruled on whether a special inquiry judge subpoena meets that standard.

Sinclair named new TVW News exec Herald staff OLYMPIA — Renee Radcliff Sinclair, a former state lawmaker from Mukilteo, was named Tuesday as the new president and chief executive officer of TVW News.

Sinclair plans to take the helm of the statewide public affairs cable television network March 2, according to a press release.

She most recently worked as an executive

with Apple Inc. She served as a Republican member of the state House of Representatives from 1995-2001.

She also is a former president and chief executive officer of the Everett-area Chamber of Commerce. Last year, Sinclair was a member of the state commission that reviewed the response to the deadly Oso mudslide.

She is the fourth president in TVW’s 20-year history.

GOP offers Homeland Security vote

By David Espo and Erica Werner Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A partial agency shutdown looming, Senate Republicans offered Tuesday to permit a vote on Homeland Security funding legislation stripped of immigration provisions backed by conservatives but strongly opposed by President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats.

“We could have that vote very quickly,” Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said as his party struggled to escape a political predicament of their own making involving an agency with major anti-terrorism responsibilities.

McConnell said he did not know how the Republican-controlled House would respond if a stand-alone spending bill passed the Senate. Underscoring the realities of divided government, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, of Nevada, initially said he wouldn’t agree to the proposal unless it had the backing of House Speaker John Boehner, in a sign it would be likely to clear the House.

Boehner’s office issued a statement that neither accepted nor rejected the proposal McConnell outlined after weeks of gridlock.

“The speaker has been clear: The House has acted, and now Senate Democrats need to stop hiding. Will they continue to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security or not?” said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel.

Even in the Senate, McConnell’s plan had its GOP critics.

Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald said Tuesday that integrity and character “is part of who I am” and apologized anew for erroneously claiming he served in the military’s special forces.

At a news conference outside VA offices, McDonald told reporters he made the misstatement in a conversation with a homeless veteran he was trying “to connect with.”

McDonald added: “I apologize for that. I have no excuse for it.”

The VA secretary has drawn expressions of disappointment, but no demands for his resignation. He served five years in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, qualified as an Army Ranger but did not serve in a Ranger regiment.

He was never part of the special forces — elite units that are trained to perform unconventional missions including

From right: Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., tell reporters they want Republicans to support a “clean bill” to fund the Department of Homeland Security.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a tea party favorite and potential 2016 presidential contender, called it a mistake. “Congress is obliged to use every constitutional check and balance we have to rein in President Obama’s lawlessness,” he said in a statement.

Senate Republican officials said McConnell’s offer of a vote on a stand-alone funding bill also envisions a vote on a separate measure to repeal a directive from Obama last fall that shields about 4 million immigrants from deportation even though they live in the United States illegally. That measure would almost

certainly fail in the Senate at the hands of Democrats.

At the same time, the proposal would eliminate an attempt by the House to repeal an earlier presidential order that allows tens of thousands of immigrants to remain in the country if they were brought here illegally as youngsters by their parents.

Officials said Boehner’s office had been informed of McConnell’s plans before they were made public.

The maneuvering occurred as the president’s party raised the specter of terrorism and the Republicans countered that it was the Democrats who were

preventing an orderly renewal of funding for the Homeland Security Department.

Republicans sought to pin the blame on Democrats, pointing out they blocked Senate action four times on the combined funding-immigration bill.

They also accused Reid of shifting his demands after first seeking a vote on a stand-alone spending bill, then refraining from accepting McConnell’s offer.

In response, Democrats seemed to backtrack, suggesting they may well sign on to McConnell’s offer whether or not Boehner does.

covert operations, hostage rescue and other high-risk actions. McDonald apologized Monday after making the claim last month.

“A lie is a lie,” said Michael Helm, national commander of the American Legion, the largest veterans service organization. “I can’t believe people do this.”

Helm said McDonald’s comment was especially disappointing because he leads a department that is trying to restore trust following a nationwide scandal over long wait times at VA health centers and falsified records covering up delays.

Two other veterans groups, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, said they accepted McDonald’s apology.

House Veterans Affairs Chairman Jeff Miller of Florida said McDonald’s comment exacerbates a “rough couple of weeks” for the VA, which also included what Miller called

“inflated claims” about firings at the VA since McDonald took office.

“I hope Secretary McDonald will redouble his efforts to ensure his statements — and those of all VA officials — are completely accurate,” Miller said Tuesday. “This is the only way the department can regain the trust of the veterans and taxpayers it is charged with serving.”

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Tuesday that McDonald “is somebody who understands firsthand the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make. There’s no reason to think that the mistake he made should interfere with his ability to lead the fight for our veterans.”

President Barack Obama chose the former Procter & Gamble CEO to take over the scandal-plagued VA. The questions about McDonald’s service come as TV newsmen Brian Williams and Bill O’Reilly have had their claims about covering foreign wars questioned.

McDonald won qualified support Tuesday from a Republican lawmaker who sparred with the VA secretary at a hearing this month.

“The secretary’s misstatement was an error, but it doesn’t dim the fact that he served honorably,” said Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Colo. “We should all take him at his word and Washington shouldn’t spend the next two weeks arguing about it.”

Coffman and McDonald tussled at a recent congressional hearing over construction delays and cost increases at a troubled Denver VA hospital.

After a few minutes of arguing, McDonald snapped at the four-term lawmaker: “I’ve run a large company, sir. What have you done?”

Coffman, an Army veteran, served in both Iraq wars. He did not respond at the Feb. 11 hearing, but noted later that, unlike McDonald, “I have never run a federal agency that tolerates corruption the way the VA has.”

No federal charges for Zimmerman

By Jennifer Kay and Eric Tucker Associated Press

MIAMI — George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin in a 2012 confrontation with the teenager, will not face federal charges, the Justice Department said Tuesday.

The decision, announced in the waning days of Attorney General Eric Holder’s tenure, resolves a case that focused on self-defense gun laws and became a flashpoint in the national conversation about race two years before the Ferguson, Missouri, police shooting.

Zimmerman has said he acted in self-defense when he shot Martin, 17, during a confrontation inside a gated community in Sanford, Florida.

Martin, who was black, was unarmed when he was killed.

Zimmerman identifies himself

Train hits stalled truck; 30 injured OXNARD, Calif. — A commuter train bound for Los Angeles derailed before dawn Tuesday in a fiery collision with an abandoned commercial pickup after the truck’s driver took a wrong turn and got stuck on the tracks.

Three of the train’s five cars toppled over, sending 30 people to hospitals.

Four were in critical condition, including the engineer.

Police found the disoriented driver of the demolished Ford F-450 pickup 1.6 miles from the crossing 45 minutes after the crash. Jose Alejandro SanchezRamirez, 54, of Yuma, Arizona, was briefly hospitalized then arrested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of felony hit-and-run, police said.

Police said they tested SanchezRamirez for drugs and alcohol but they would not discuss the results.

VA chief apologizes again for lying

ACROSS THE U.S.

as Hispanic.

Once Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder by a state jury in July 2013, Mar- George tin’s family Zimmerman turned to the federal investigation in hopes that he would be held accountable for the shooting.

That probe focused on whether the killing amounted to a federal civil rights violation, which would have required proof that it was motivated by racial animosity. The Justice Department said there was not enough evidence to establish that Zimmerman willfully deprived Martin of his civil rights or killed the teenager on account of his race.

“This decision is limited strictly to the department’s inability to meet the high legal standard required to prosecute the case under the federal

civil rights statutes; it does not reflect an assessment of any other aspect of the shooting,” the Justice Department said in a news release Tuesday.

Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West, was on a flight and couldn’t immediately comment on the decision. A call to Zimmerman’s cellphone went directly to voicemail.

Martin’s parents were too distraught after their meeting in Miami with Justice Department officials to speak with reporters, their attorney, Ben Crump, said.

The Justice Department’s decision not to file federal charges against Zimmerman was expected but still “a bitter pill to swallow,” he said.

The February 2012 confrontation began after Zimmerman saw Martin while driving in his neighborhood.

Zimmerman called police and got out of his car and approached Martin, who was returning from a store while

visiting his father and his father’s fiancee.

Zimmerman did not testify at his trial, but he told investigators that he feared for his life as Martin straddled him and punched him during the fight.

The Justice Department’s decision was not surprising because there was no direct or circumstantial evidence that Zimmerman’s actions were motivated by race, said Tamara Rice Lave, a professor at the University of Miami’s School of Law. The decision to not prosecute Zimmerman comes even though Holder has made civil rights a cornerstone of his tenure.

The Justice Department is also moving to resolve a separate high-profile civil rights case — the August shooting by a Ferguson police officer of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old. The killing sparked weeks of protests.

Ill.: Emanuel faces runoff Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel failed to capture a majority of the vote Tuesday in his bid for a second term, an embarrassment for the former White House chief of staff who now faces a runoff this spring against Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia.

The incumbent had widespread support from business leaders, national name recognition and raised millions of dollars in campaign funds and received a last-minute boost from President Barack Obama. Still, he wasn’t able to capture the more than 50 percent necessary to avoid an April 7 runoff against Garcia, a former alderman and state senator.

Texas: ‘Sniper’ conviction A former Marine was convicted Tuesday in the deaths of the “American Sniper” author and another man at a shooting range two years ago, as jurors rejected defense arguments that he was insane and suffered from psychosis. The trial of Eddie Ray Routh has drawn intense interest, in part because of the blockbuster film based on former Navy SEAL Chris Kyle’s memoir about his four tours in Iraq. Since prosecutors didn’t seek the death penalty in the capital murder case, Routh, 27,receives an automatic life sentence without parole in the deaths of Kyle and Kyle’s friend, Chad Littlefield.

AROUND THE WORLD Czech Republic: 9 dead in restaurant shooting A gunman opened fire inside a restaurant in the southeastern town of Uhersky Brod on Tuesday, killing eight people and seriously wounding a waitress before he fatally shot himself, officials said. It was the worst shooting attack in the young country’s history.

The gunman was a local man aged around 60, said Mayor Patrik Kuncar.

Czech public radio said the gunman called a local television station before the attack, complaining that police weren’t solving his problems and threatening that he would “take things into his hands.” The town is home to the Ceska Zbrojovka gun plant.

Nigeria: Suicide bombings Teenage suicide bombers, suspected to be Boko Haram extremists, killed at least 24 people in separate blasts Tuesday at crowded bus stations in two northern cities. In the northeastern town of Potiskum, a young man forced his way onto a bus and detonated explosives that killed 12 people and injured 20, according to the bus driver and hospital records. Hours later, two young men were blamed for explosions that ripped through a bus station in northern Kano city, killing at least 12 people and injuring many more, according to state police. Witnesses said the bombers appeared to be 17 or 18 years old.

Jamaica: Pot decriminalized Lawmakers on Tuesday night passed an act to decriminalize small amounts of pot and establish a licensing agency to regulate a lawful medical marijuana industry on the Caribbean island. The drug law would make possession of up to 2 ounces of marijuana a petty offense that would not result in a criminal record. Cultivation of five or fewer plants would be permitted. The law paves the way for a “cannabis licensing authority” to be set up to deal with regulations on cultivation and distribution of marijuana for medical, scientific and therapeutic purposes.

Obama vetoes Keystone XL bill

By Josh Lederman Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Defying the Republican-run Congress, President Barack Obama rejected a bill Tuesday to approve construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, wielding his veto power for only the third time in his presidency.

Obama offered no indication of whether he’ll eventually issue a permit for the pipeline, whose construction has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate about environmental policy and climate change. Instead, Obama sought to reassert his authority to make the decision himself, rebuffing GOP lawmakers who will control both the House and Senate for the remainder of the president’s term.

“The presidential power to veto legislation is one I take seriously,” Obama said in a brief notice delivered to the Senate. “But I also take seriously my responsibility to the American people.”

Obama vetoed the bill in private with no fanfare, in contrast to the televised ceremony Republican leaders staged earlier this month when they signed the bill and sent it to the president.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Republicans were “not even close” to giving up the fight and derided the veto as a “national embarrassment.”

Early 787s may have buyers

By Julie Johnsson

ASSOCIATED PRESS

House Speaker John Boehner signs the bill authorizing expansion of the Keystone XL pipeline Feb. 13 on Capitol Hill as Republican congressonal leaders watch. President Barack Obama vetoed the legislation Tuesday.

The move sends the politically charged issue back to Congress, where Republicans haven’t shown they can muster the twothirds majority in both chambers needed to override Obama’s veto.

North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven, the bill’s chief GOP sponsor, said Republicans are about four votes short in the Senate and need about 11 more in the House.

“He’s looking at this as showing he still can be king of the hill, because we don’t have the votes to override,” Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, a vocal opponent of Obama’s climate

Unresolved dangers A study by Carfax says 5 million used cars were sold last year with unrepaired problems subject to recalls.

Bloomberg News

CHICAGO — Boeing has lined up buyers for 10 of the early, overweight 787 Dreamliners whose years in storage made them emblems of the jet’s factory woes and a drag on profit, people with knowledge of the plans said.

The planes, dubbed “terrible teens” for their assembly struggles and their places near the start of the production run, have an assessed value of roughly $1 billion, or less than half the catalog price.

The original customers balked because the aircraft were too heavy, limiting their range.

Ethiopian Airlines is in advanced discussions to buy eight of the early-build 787s, said four people who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. Air Austral, based on France’s Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, already has ordered two of the jets, the people said.

Unloading the 787s would be a boost after the aircraft sat outside Boeing’s Everett factory for about five years.

They were visible symbols of the delays on the Dreamliner program, with black plastic shrouding their windows and 17,000- pound counterweights dangling from the wings in place of engines to keep the jets balanced.

“We continue to see interest in the early-build 787s,” said Marc Birtel, a spokesman for Chicago-based Boeing, when asked about the status of negotiations for the teens. He declined to comment on specific contacts with airlines.

change agenda, said in an interview. “If he vetoed this, he’s going to veto many others that are out there.”

First proposed more than six years ago, the Keystone XL pipeline project has sat in limbo ever since, awaiting a permit required by the federal government because it would cross an international boundary. The pipeline would connect Canada’s tar sands with refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast that specialize in processing heavy crude oil.

Republicans and the energy industry say the $8 billion project

would create jobs, spur growth and increase America’s independence from Mideast energy sources. Democrats and environmental groups have sought to make the pipeline a poster child for the type of dirty energy sources they say are exacerbating global warming.

For his part, Obama says his administration is still weighing the pipeline’s merits, and he has repeatedly threatened to veto any attempts by lawmakers to make the decision for him.

The GOP-controlled House passed the bill earlier in February on a 270-152 vote, following weeks of debate and tweaks in the Senate to insert language stating that climate change is real and not a hoax. Republican leaders in Congress delayed sending the bill to the White House until they returned from a weeklong recess, ensuring they would be on hand to denounce the president when he vetoed the bill.

Republican leaders were mulling a number of potential next steps., including considering inserting Keystone into other critical legislation dealing with energy, spending or infrastructure in hopes that Obama would be less likely to veto those priorities, said Hoeven, R-N.D. “We’ll look to see if we can get some more bipartisan support,” said Hoeven.

DETROIT — It’s a case of buyer beware, with potentially dangerous consequences.

More than 46 million cars and trucks on the road in the U.S. — about one-fifth the total — were recalled because of safety defects but never repaired, according to a study by Carfax, a company that sells vehicle history reports.

Some of those defects have the potential to cause a crash, injury, even death.

Carfax reported where were 949,641 cars with unfixed recalls on Washington state roads.

Last year, around 5 million of those cars in the U.S. were sold to new owners.

There is no legal requirement for dealers or individual sellers to get the repairs done before a used car is sold. They are not even obligated to tell buyers if a car is subject to a recall.

“It’s a very major public safety problem,” says Chris Basso, a

used-car specialist for Carfax, which analyzed state registration data to determine that one-fifth of the 238 million cars on the nation’s roads has an unrepaired problem that was the subject of a recall. “When those recalled cars go unfixed, they compound over the years, and it increases the chance of those parts failing.”

Federal regulators are pushing for legislation that requires dealers to fix recalled used cars. Independent dealers oppose such a measure but say they might go along with a

requirement to disclose recalls to buyers because a new government database makes it easier to tell if a car on their lot has been recalled.

The number of unfixed cars is certain to rise because automakers recalled nearly 64 million vehicles nationwide last year, double the old record set in 2004.

Government data show that 25 percent of car owners never get recall repairs done.

No one is sure how many See USED, Page A12

General Motors is recalling about 67,000 Cadillac ATS compact sports sedans to fix a problem with the power sunroof controls. The recall affects cars from the 2013 through 2015 model years. GM said the sunroofs can automatically close if the non-recessed switches are even partly touched.

That’s less than 1 percent of the returns that were filed, the lowest rate since 2004. Koskinen said the IRS is down more than 2,200 revenue agents since 2010.

The jet ran more than three years late while Boeing worked out kinks with the carbon-fiber materials, onboard systems and a manufacturing process that relied more heavily on suppliers.

Eager to convert a record order backlog into cash, Boeing stepped up production before the Dreamliner was certified as airworthy.

The planemaker wound up having to retrofit about 60 of the first jets to match design changes made during flight testing.

The teens required the most extensive work, including heavy structural reinforcements to bolster their composite shells, and were set aside while Boeing focused resources on later models that it could get more quickly to customers.

crashes or injuries happen because of unheeded recalls.

Federal law requires car companies to notify owners of a recall within 60 days of finding a safety defect. But there’s no legal requirement that companies contact the new owner if a car changes hands.

John Castro, 36, of Glen Burnie, Maryland, traded a pickup truck for a 2011 Toyota Prius in March of last year at Koons Ford in Baltimore.

Shortly after he took the car home, he read a dealerprovided Carfax report and found that his car had been recalled in February 2014 to fix a hybrid component that could malfunction and cause stalling. Koons had not done the repair, and no sales person mentioned the recall, Castro says.

“You think when you buy something, it’s been checked and cleared,” he says.

past legislation because they didn’t have access to a national database to check for recalls, says Steve Jordan, CEO of the 16,000-member National Independent Automobile Dealers Association.

That changed in August when the government set up a website for dealers and drivers to check recalls by keying in the 17-digit vehicle identification number.

Now, Jordan says the association may support a disclosure law, as long as the database allows dealers to check multiple numbers at a time to save time and labor.

The group still opposes a repair requirement because independent dealers would be at the mercy of competitors franchised by automakers. Those dealers are the only ones authorized to do recall repairs.

Individual sellers won’t face any repair or disclosure requirements.

U.S. federal law does require dealers to make recall repairs on new cars before selling them.

Dennis Koulatsos, Koons Ford general manager, says Castro’s car should have been fixed because there was a safety issue.

All dealers, he says, have incentives to fix recalled cars. They could lose customers to dealers who do, or they could be sued if something goes wrong.

But he also thinks dealers should be able to sell cars with open recalls if the problems don’t affect safety or drivability.

A number of attempts to pass laws requiring dealers to fix recalled cars or disclose problems have stalled under opposition from carmakers, auto dealers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Mark Rosekind, the new head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx are making another push.

“We cannot allow vehicles with potentially dangerous defects to leave used-car lots without the necessary repairs,” Rosekind says.

ANA Holdings’ All Nippon Airways and Transaero Airlines eventually opted to take other aircraft.

Boeing has never disclosed the weight difference for the teens.

Once the modifications are done, their range will be about 1,000 nautical miles shorter than later 787s, Avitas has estimated.

Boeing advertises a range of 7,850 nautical miles for the 787-8, which seats 242 passengers.

Selling and delivering the teens would reduce Boeing’s 787 backlog, which stands at about $7 billion, according to a Feb. 12 report from David Strauss, a New York-based UBS Group AG analyst.

Ballooning inventory and production costs have left the Dreamliner unprofitable and been a drag on Boeing’s cash flow.

IN OUR VIEW | Silvertips and AquaSox

Pay young athletes their due It’s a good thing that hockey players with the Everett Silvertips have a seat on the bench, because they probably couldn’t afford one in the stands.

By most spectator sports standards, tickets for Silvertips games at Xfinity Arena aren’t unreasonable; you can get a seat for $15 to $40. But what the players receive as a weekly stipend could be considered unreasonable. Players in the Western Hockey League, those between 16 and 19 years of age, get a weekly stipend of $35 to $50; weekly stipends for 20-year-olds are $120 to $150, during the 72-game season.

True, the players don’t pay their own room and board, as the WHL teams in Washington — the Tips, the Seattle Thunderbirds, the Spokane Chiefs and the Tri-City Americans — rely on host families to feed and house most players.

And the Canadian Hockey League, the parent organization of the WHL and two sister leagues in Canada, offers to

provide a scholarship of one year of undergraduate tuition for every season of play in the league.

Yet, junior hockey, which develops talent for the National Hockey League, is facing three class-action suits in Canada that seek hundreds of millions of dollars in wages and benefits for players in the system. Minor League Baseball is facing its own class-action suit over the same issue. The league maximum monthly pay for a minor league ballplayer is $1,100, better than hockey but still less than the state’s minimum wage.

Closer to home, the state Department of Labor and Industries is continuing an investigation, following a 2013 complaint over working conditions, that could find that the players should be considered employees who are subject to state laws on minimum wage and child labor.

Many will say that these young players accept low pay as part of paying their dues

while they work for their shot to make it in the NHL or MLB. But most don’t make it that far. About 7 percent of young drafted ballplayers reach the Major League level. Only 5 percent of young hockey players advance to the NHL. Team and league officials testified last week before the state Senate’s Commerce and Labor Committee and said that if state law isn’t changed to classify amateur athletes as non-employees, they might be forced to shut down or leave the state.

Threat or prediction, that’s a short-term response to whatever determination Labor and Industries makes; the issue would follow them to any state or province where they might relocate. The question of whether players for junior hockey and for Minor League Baseball are amateur athletes or employees is tipping toward “employee.” And those leagues will have to find a way to comply, which means fans will likely have to dig deeper to

support their teams.

Even the NCAA, which has used the student-athlete classification to its benefit, has had to respond to the issue and is facing attempts to unionize players. Junior hockey and Minor League Baseball can’t make that claim of nonprofit status.

“The hockey teams are not universities, they’re for-profit businesses,” Theodore Charney, a Toronto lawyer who is pursuing one of the classaction suits in Canada, told the Associated Press last week.

The Everett Silvertips lead their division with 12 games remaining in the regular season and have clinched a playoff berth. Heightened expectations for the Seattle Mariners should bring increased attention to the Everett AquaSox when their season beings in June.

Both teams are beloved and valued in Everett and Snohomish County; but in supporting our teams we also need to support the players.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ■■NETWORK NEWS

‘No spin zone’ is complete ‘spin’ You won’t find a clearer delineation between “mainstream” news and “faux” news than the Brian Williams/Bill O’Reilly comparison. Williams, caught in a lie, cops to it and apologizes on the air.

Then the network suspends him for six months and his career is in jeopardy.

Bill O’Reilly, caught in a lie, attacks his accusers and stands by his story while simultaneously changing it into something quite different from what he has repeatedly said in the past. The network not only stands by him, they actively defend him.

The difference, of course, is institutional. NBC is a mainstream, corporate-controlled network. (For the record, I am no fan of mainstream, corporate-controlled networks.) Fox News, on the other hand, is the propaganda arm of the Republican Party which is, itself, the political arm of corporate America, particularly the extreme right segment thereof.

For years, catching Bill O’Reilly in lies was a cottage industry. One website that tracked him very closely was called sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.com. They shut down years ago, but not before publishing a book of O’Reilly whoppers under the same title as the website. Politico. com still tracks Bill, and nearly every other public liar. Today, they have him threatening a New York Times reporter regarding his coverage of the Falkland lie. (tinyurl.com/ PoliticoOReillyNYT) It never ends.

■■GUN RALLY

Protesters were well within law A regular contributor to The Herald opinion page recently wrote a column in which he took to task a group who rallied in Olympia after the passage of I-594. (Sid Schwab, “If gun rights supporters don’t like I-594 change it; don’t break it.” This writer, Schwab, figuratively threw rocks at demonstrators carrying signs and shouting threatening-tobreak-the-law slogans.

I was unable to find any other pieces by this writer in which he takes to task marches, protests or demonstrations for causes with which he agrees. I don’t like negative slogans or

threatening shouts either, but if they don’t break the law, I recognize their right to do it.

Seems it’s not OK with him if it’s a cause he doesn’t support.

He uses the word hypocritical.

Maybe he’s looking in a mirror.

Seems that shoe fits him.

Most of the column was a rant against the NRA, gun owners, the GOP and conservatives. He even writes: I rant.

On that we are in total agreement. He really should cut back on the Kool-Aid. He refers to our democracy in the column. The U.S. is not and never has been a democracy. We are a representative republic. He may want to write that down. Or, review the differences. This may enhance his general fund of knowledge.

The writer would be better served if he could throttle back on his rants against anything GOP or conservative. Trying to be more open-minded, respectful and inclusive toward those whose views one doesn’t share would be good for all of us. Forget not being on the radar. This guy is so far left I can’t find him on my Hubble telescope.

The First Amendment allows him to write his opinions and me to respond. The Second Amendment allows us to possess our firearms. Hooray, Bill of Rights.

■■OIL TRAINS

Thank you for your Monday editorial, “We’ve been warned, repeatedly.” Oil trains are a safety hazard. They also impede other forms of rail traffic, both freight and passenger. It would be better for our state if some of this oil were sent south to the Gulf Coast via the Keystone pipeline. Pipelines are not perfect, but they are safer than trains.

Unfortunately, both of our state senators voted against the Keystone pipeline, so we are stuck with the trains for the foreseeable future.

95 percent of women are unaware. Women with dense tissue have less than a 50 percent chance of having their cancer detected by mammography alone. Washington women have a right to know their screening results so they can have informed discussions about their breast health.

Twenty-one states have breast density notification laws.

Washington shouldn’t be the last state giving women equal access to an early breast cancer diagnosis when cancers have better treatment and survival outcomes. Write/call the bill’s sponsor, Sen. O’Ban, and the chair of the Health Care Committee, Sen. Becker. Tell them to read SB 5040 and pass it.

Pipelines a much safer option

■■LEGISLATURE

■■PRESIDENT OBAMA

Women need mammogram bill

GOP should focus on itself

A bill that would protect women from missed, delayed and late-stage breast cancer diagnosis stalled in the Washington state Senate. SB 5040 would require the facility where your mammogram was performed include three sentences in your mammogram letter if you have dense tissue. (Your mammogram shows that your breast tissue is dense. Dense tissue is common but can make it harder to evaluate the results of your mammogram. Adult women of all ages are encouraged to perform a monthly breast selfexam. This information about your mammogram results is given to you to raise your awareness and to inform your conversations with your primary care provider. A report of your results was sent to your primary care provider.)

Forty percent of women have dense tissue, one of the strongest risk factors associated with breast cancer, yet

Since Rudy Giuliani decided to come out and blast President Obama for his perceived lack of love for the United States of America, well, I will come out and say something that conflicts with that accusation and statement. If he had no love for this nation, as Mr. Giuliani falsely claims, then why would President Obama get us out of two wars that were unpopular and bogging us down financially? He has helped our nation recover from the Great Recession, and we are adding jobs every month. Consumer spending is up, people are hiring and the stock market is doing great.

All of these things shows me a man who has love for this nation. If anything, I think the Republicans hate President Obama more than they love this country. I don’t think that statement is far-fetched at all.

Jeff Swanson Everett

Close loophole and college can be affordable

I

f you had a child at the University of Washington at the beginning of the Great Recession, you may have been set back by the tuition. In the 2008-09 academic year it was $7,254 (in today’s dollars), almost one-fifth of a full time job paid at the median wage.

You may have thought that was bad, but as revenue for the state has imploded and failed to recover since then, JOHN BURBANK the state has disinvested from public higher eduWhat is a cation. How was the difhigher priority ference made up? Through for us here in increased tuition. That’s Washington: why tuition is higher now $12,393 education for this year — a $5,000 our children increase since 2008. or Wall Street It also takes profits? a bigger bite out of a smaller pay check, as median wages have fallen during this time by almost $1 an hour.

So as a result, tuition for the University of Washington now takes up almost onethird of the typical wage earner’s annual salary. That student and her family are left on their own. Their income is too high to qualify for any significant tuition assistance, and besides, there is a waiting list to get the little assistance there is.

What can we do? State Sens. John Braun, R-Centralia, and Barbara Bailey, R-Oak Harbor, have an idea. They introduced a bill to cut tuition at our four-year colleges. Now, their bill has loopholes for mandatory fees like “student activity fees.”

But it goes in the right direction! They propose tying tuition to a percentage of the state’s average wage. The average wage is now $52,635 a year. (That may not make sense to you, but remember, this is not the typical wage of a middle class worker — this average is thrown off by the million dollar pay packages of the top 1 percent.)

Under their proposal, University of Washington and WSU tuition could be no more than 14 percent of the average wage — that is, $7,369. For the regional universities, like Western Washington University, tuition could not exceed 10 percent of the average wage. So instead of being almost $9,000, tuition at Western would fall to $5,264.

Braun and Bailey’s bill could do better for students at Everett Community College and all the other community colleges in our state. They propose reducing current tuition and fees of $4,000 by just $59. These community college students make up about four-fifths of the students in our public higher education system. They are typically lower income part-time workers trying to go to college, earn a living, and keep their family together. They deserve a break, too.

But let’s take this bill and ask: What’s the total cost? About $226 million. Look around the bill, turn over its pages, look in the margins, and you won’t find any funding source. Without funding, these tuition cuts are completely hypothetical. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

What could the funding source be? Our tax code is full of holes for privileged corporations. One loophole enables companies to invest (or gamble) their money in financial stocks on Wall Street and not pay any taxes on the profits that they gain. That’s a perverse loophole to start with, because it encourages companies to NOT invest in plant and equipment in our state. Why? Because the revenue they get from sales of products in Washington will be taxed, while anything they make from the money they give Chase Bank or Bank of America or Citicorp to invest is tax-free. This one loophole costs our state about $342 million.

It’s that simple. Close this tax loophole — one that encourages companies to take our money and run — and the Legislature could responsibly and permanently reduce tuition at our public colleges and universities.

Over the past decades escalating tuition has erected a higher and then even higher barrier to education for low-income and middle class students. Tuition blocks the pathway to what is supposed to be public higher education. What is a higher priority for us here in Washington: higher education for our children or Wall Street profits?

We all know what that answer should be and what it can be!

Happy Birthday: A reserved approach to education, financial and medical concerns will help you avoid setbacks. Emotional matters are best controlled in a practical manner. Not everyone will be easy to deal with, but if you are reluctant to follow what others do, you will be the one to benefit in the end. Your numbers are 6, 17, 20, 24, 27, 32, 41.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get together with old friends or discuss future plans with someone you love. Take care of paperwork that is time-sensitive. Do something special for someone who has stood by you in the past. ���� TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider what you are told, but do your own research. Too much of anything will turn in to a costly affair. An emotional matter will lead to a deceptive situation. ��� GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s fun to dream, but don’t create a fantasy world that will hurt your status with a personal or business partner. Focus on going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure you maintain a good rapport. ��� CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be afraid to be different. Taking a different path will give you an inside view of a situation that is festering in the background with a peer or colleague. ��� LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Step into the limelight and offer suggestions based on what you know to be true, and you will get the support you need to follow a dream. The feedback you get will encourage travel, knowledge and communication. ����

Silvertips goaltender Austin Lotz prepares before a game against Victoria at Xfinity Arena earlier this season.

Everett Silvertips goaltender Austin Lotz moves into second place on the franchise’s career wins list with 72

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer

VERETT — To Austin Lotz it’s an indication of being a WHL old-age pensioner.

To everybody else it’s evidence of sustained goaltending excellence.

But either way one looks at it, it still puts the Everett Silvertips goaltender into a rare position of prominence.

Lotz’s victory against Lethbridge on Sunday was the 72nd of his Silvertips career, moving him into second place on Everett’s career wins list for goalies.

“It’s a pretty cool feeling,” Lotz said Tuesday following practice at Xfinity Arena. “I feel pretty old now, it’s hard to believe I’ve

been here four years. I obviously owe it all to my teammates and everybody who’s given me a chance along the way.”

Lotz, a 19-year-old from St. Adolphe, Manitoba, who’s in his fourth season with the Tips, earned No. 72 by making 19 saves in Everett’s 5-4 victory over Lethbridge on Sunday at Xfinity Arena. It completed a busy weekend that saw Lotz play

The 72 wins surpassed the 71 Kent Simpson earned during his four seasons with Everett from 2007-12. Lotz reached his 72nd win in his 160th appearance,

while Simpson had 71 wins in 175 appearances. For his career, Lotz is 72-59-7-8 with a 2.93 goals-against average, .903 save percentage and 10 shutouts.

His games played and shutout totals are both third in franchise history.

Lotz acknowledged that moving into second place on Everett’s all-time wins list meant something.

“It is special to me,” Lotz said.

Bloomquist ‘ready,’ M’s more cautious Mariners’ utilityman proclaims himself ‘100 percent’ after knee surgery last August, but the team will take it slow.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Willie Bloomquist says he’s “good,” and “ready to go.” That he’s confident he “could play right now” in his recovery from micro-fracture surgery last August on his right knee.

Of course, this is Willie Ballgame speaking here, the gamer’s gamer. The can-do kid who still chafes at any suggestion of can’t — even after a career about to enter its 14th big-league season.

So it’s no surprise the Seattle Mariners are grading his comments on a curve as their spring camp accelerates Wednesday when full-squad workouts commence at the Peoria Sports Complex.

“I think we all know Willie,” manager Lloyd McClendon said.

“He dives right back in. I’ve got to make sure that he’s healthy for the entire season, so we’re going to pace him and back him off a little bit. I’m sure he’s not going to like it, but that’s just the way it is.”

While this is what Bloomquist expected — a go-slow approach

— McClendon is right about him not liking it.

“I’m ready,” Bloomquist insisted. “They will ease me into things slowly, but I am ready to go. I’m running 100 percent. As far as being able to do what I’m capable of doing ... let’s go.”

Not yet.

Club officials say Bloomquist is too important to risk circumventing his recovery through a taxing workload in spring workouts and Cactus League games. They know what he can do when healthy.

“He may not be a superstartype of player,” McClendon said, “but you know what you’re getting every day. There’s a lot to be said for that.”

Bloomquist felt a jolt in his right knee July 23 while trying to beat out a grounder to short in the eighth inning of a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets at Safeco Field.

What initially seemed little more than a bruise, which Bloomquist insisted wouldn’t require time on the disabled list, failed to heal as expected. Further examination See BLOOMQUIST, Page C3

PEORIA, Ariz. — Robinson Cano reported to spring training Tuesday, as scheduled, and immediately embraced the highest bar of expectations for the Seattle Mariners in the upcoming season.

“On paper, we look like world champions,” he proclaimed before adding a qualifier. “Hopefully, we’ll stay healthy. It’s not how we look on paper. We’ve got to go out there and prove it every single day.”

Cano, 32, is comfortable with the loftiest of goals from the nine years spent in New York pinstripes before he signed on last season with the October-starved Mariners.

And it still rankles the Mariners, in his first year, fell one game shy of ending what is now a 13-year postseason drought.

“That’s one thing I will never forget,” he vowed. “One game makes a huge difference. Hopefully, we take that experience and go from the beginning. Not give anything away. Not let anybody take anything from us.”

Cano is, like many, encouraged by the club’s offseason moves, particularly the signing of free-agent designated hitter Nelson Cruz, a former Dominican teammate in the World Baseball Classic.

Cruz led the majors last season with 40 home runs while playing for Baltimore and projects as the lineup’s cleanup hitter between Cano and Kyle Seager.

“It means now we have a guy (in Cruz) who is going to help us to win games,” Cano said, “a guy who knows how to drive in runs and hit the ball out of the ballpark.

“A guy who has been in the game for a long time, who has been in the postseason, has been in the World Series. We’ve got a guy with experience.”

This is also a trimmer Cano, and one more comfortable in his surroundings as he enters the second season of his 10-year, $240-million deal.

“I just feel like I’m home,” he said. “I was here last year, and I know most of the guys. Some of the new guys who came from other teams, I played against them.

“It makes it easier. I can just come in and say hi to everybody.”

Cano said his first year in cooler Seattle taught him that he didn’t need to be as heavy as in the past. He won’t sweat away pounds as he once did in the muggy Bronx heat.

Accordingly, he arrived at 212 pounds — some 13 pounds lighter than a year ago. Also, Cano is completely recovered from the broken toe, which he suffered in November while playing for a MLB touring team in Japan.

“Last year, I can’t complain,” he said. “That was a good year for me, even though I didn’t hit the ball out of the ballpark. But to stay healthy and play more than 150 games, that’s what (a good year) means to me.

“I know I work hard. I know I do my job in the offseason to get ready to prepare for the season. I just want to make it to the postseason.”

And not just on paper.

LOS ANGELES — The losing streak is finally over.

And as difficult as it might have been for the Washington Huskies to finally win a basketball game after losing seven in a row, history suggests their next task should be even more challenging.

The Huskies beat Washington State 87-84 on Sunday night in Pullman, their first victory in exactly a month. Junior guard Andrew Andrews scored a career-best 35 points and made the game-winning 3-pointer in the final seconds, which vaulted him toward the first Pac-12 player of the week honor of his career.

But now the Huskies travel

south for a game against the UCLA Bruins at Pauley Pavilion, where UW simply doesn’t win very often. The Huskies (15-11, R 4-10 in Pac-12) are 7-61 all-time against the Bruins in Los Angeles, and have won there just twice during coach Lorenzo Romar’s 13-year tenure — first in 2006, then again on the opening weekend of conference play in 2010-11.

They hope Andrews’ big game — and big shot, which sealed a big win — will spark a streak in the other direction.

Asked if the WSU game was the best of his career, Andrews said: “Yeah, if we get momentum off it. I just want to keep getting momentum going to UCLA and USC and try to carry this over, and hope we get a win down there.”

If Andrews continues his recent tear, the Huskies might have a chance. He’s averaging 19.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in UW’s last six games, and his season field-goal percentage is

R

TONIGHT’S GAME

Washington at UCLA, 8 p.m.

back above 40 percent for the first time since early in the nonconference schedule. And he’s quietly improved his 3-point shooting percentage to 36.4, which currently ranks 12th in the conference. Against WSU, Andrews became the 38th player in UW history to score 1,000 or more points in his career.

The Bruins (16-12, 8-7) took a hit to their NCAA tournament hopes last week by losing at both Arizona State and Arizona. Joe Lunardi, ESPN’s resident “bracketologist,” still includes UCLA in his most recent tournament projections — as a No. 11 seed, in a play-in game, and one of the final four teams in the field.

So the Bruins desperately need to finish the regular season with three victories over Washington, Washington State and USC — all at home, and all opponents that will be considered underdogs — to solidify their postseason profile heading into the Pac-12 tournament.

With an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament out of reach for the Huskies, they simply want to continue improving upon last week’s encouraging victory in Pullman. Plus, a single win in any of their final four games would assure a final overall record above .500 — something that was in question during their disastrous seven-game losing streak.

Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said he learned from the WSU game “that we need to play together. We still didn’t play great defense. But because we played together, stuck together, pulled for each other — that’s going to make us a better team (more) than a worse team.”

Kansas St. issues apology for fans storming court after win

By Kellis Robinett and Rustin Dodd

ESPN suspends Olbermann after Penn State comments

The Kansas City Star

Associated Press

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State athletic director John Currie said the Wildcats “fell short” of their security responsibilities during a chaotic court-storming that followed a 70-63 men’s basketball victory over No. 8 Kansas on Monday night at Bramlage Coliseum.

In addition to Currie’s statement Tuesday, K-State Police were looking to identify a fan who collided into a KU player.

On its Twitter account, a screencapture was posted of the fan while he was running into KU junior Jamari Traylor.

Currie issued a statement that apologized to Kansas State president Kirk Schulz, the Wildcats’ athletic department, KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger, men’s basketball coach Bill Self and his team “for the unfortunate situation in which they were placed last night at the conclusion of our basketball game.”

According to Currie’s statement, K-State’s security staff has procedures to provide a “solid human barrier to allow the teams to conduct a postgame handshake and safely leave the court.” But the security staff “was unable to get into proper position quickly enough last night and was overwhelmed by the fans rushing the floor,” Currie said.

“K-State prides itself on providing a great game atmosphere in a safe environment and did successfully execute our security plan when we defeated KU last year in Bramlage as well as in 2011,” Currie’s statement continued. “Although no one was hurt last night, we fell short of our expectations for securing the court and escorting KU to its locker room without incident. We are disappointed that we did not do better for the KU team.

“We are reviewing our procedures internally and consulting

BRISTOL, Conn. — Keith Olbermann was taken off his ESPN show for the rest of the week after making insulting comments about Penn State students on Twitter.

On Monday, a Penn State alum tweeted to Olbermann the phrase “We Are!” and a link to an article about students raising more than $13 million to fight pediatric cancer. Olbermann replied “...Pitiful.”

Olbermann, who often spars with commenters on Twitter, then refused to back down in several more tweets, saying he was referring to Penn State students in general and not the fund-raising.

“It was completely inappropriate and does not reflect the views of ESPN,” the network said in a statement Tuesday. “We have discussed it with Keith, who recognizes he was wrong. ESPN and Keith have agreed that he will not host his show for the remainder of this week and will return on Monday. The annual tradition of THON and the efforts of the students of Penn State to fight pediatric cancer should be applauded.”

Olbermann also apologized on Twitter on Tuesday, saying, “I was stupid and childish and way less mature than the students there who did such a great fundraising job.”

Kansas State fans storm the court and celebrate Wildcats players following a 70-63 win over Kansas on Monday.

with our law enforcement partners to determine any steps necessary to improve our game day security.

“Additionally, we are actively reviewing video and working in concert with law enforcement to identify any fan who intentionally touched visiting players or personnel. We will take appropriate action with such identified persons, including turning over all evidence to law enforcement so that any applicable charges can be filed.”

Self voiced concern after the game, a 70-63 K-State victory, that his players were targeted by a couple of fans.

“It’s a ballgame,” Self said.

“It’s not about chicken-winging somebody when the game’s over. That’s not what it’s about.

Hopefully, they can get that corrected. It’s fine if you want to celebrate when you beat us, that’s your business. That’s fine. But at least it shouldn’t put anybody at risk from a safety standpoint.”

K-State coach Bruce Weber said Monday night he apologized to Self, who was pinned against the scorers table by a wave of students after shaking Weber’s hand at midcourt.

“I felt bad,” Weber said. “I love the students, and it is a cool thing to be a part of that, but you also have to be careful of making sure nobody gets hurt.”

record is 107, set by Leland Irving from 2003-08, so Lotz needs another 36 to move into first. That won’t happen this season as Everett has just 12 games remaining in the regular season. It’s possible Lotz could surpass 107 should he come back next season as an overager.

While Lotz is certainly a good enough goaltender to play in the WHL as an overager, he’s also attended two NHL rookie training camps as an invitee, including impressing the Vancouver Canucks last September. Therefore, the idea of becoming the all-time wins leader in Silvertips history is a double-edged sword.

While he would like to be at the top of Everett’s list, he also wouldn’t mind playing in the professional ranks next season.

“It hasn’t really been in my mind too much,” Lotz said

about breaking the wins record.

“That’s not my goal, really. My goal as a Silvertip is for the team to win, not my own personal achievements. But at the end of the day it would be nice to look back over the years and see my name at No. 1.”

Newly discovered wasp named after Bruins goalie Rask Associated Press BOSTON — There’s a new buzz surrounding Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask.

A Boston-area researcher who was part of a team that discovered a new species of wasp in Kenya has named the insect in Rask’s honor, Thaumatodryinus tuukkaraski.

The Boston Globe reports that Robert Copeland, an entomologist at the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology in Nairobi who grew up in Newton, said naming the wasp after Rask reflected his admiration for the goalie.

Rask described the honor as “pretty neat.”

In passing Simpson, Lotz leaped over a peer. Lotz was a 16-year-old rookie in 2011-12, backing up a 19-year-old Simpson in Simpson’s final season in Everett.

“I might have to send him a message, send him a little chirp or something,” Lotz said with a laugh. “It’s obviously an honor to pass a guy like that, but I owe it to my teams for being good the past two years and giving me the opportunity to have those wins.”

Winger Brayden Low, who didn’t finish Sunday’s game, and defenseman Lucas Skrumeda, who sat out Saturday’s 7-0 loss at Seattle, are both listed as day-to-day because of illness. However, both practiced in full Tuesday.

Rodney dancing with joy

Closer Fernando Rodney likes the moves the Mariners made in the offseason.

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — When All-Star closer Fernando Rodney looks around the Seattle Mariners’ clubhouse, and contemplates the coming season, he says he can’t help dancing.

“I’m pretty happy with the (offseason) moves that we made,” he said. “Signing (Nelson) Cruz and bringing in a couple of more guys to help to win the division. That’s motivated me. That’s why I’m dancing.”

(Point to note: While smooth on his feet, Rodney admits he’s only the second-best dancer on the club — only second-best in the bullpen, in fact. The best, he insisted, is fellow reliever Tom Wilhelmsen.)

Rodney threw his first spring bullpen workout Tuesday — and came away pleased. A year ago, he battled tightness in his arm and back after signing with the Mariners just as camp was getting under way.

“Last year,” he said, “I tried to do too much. This year, I took the first two days to get loose.

I said, ‘I’m ready for Tuesday.’

Lot of strikes. ... I just tried to hit the location to get ready for the season.”

And, yes, Rodney is pumped for the season.

“The key for me?” he said.

“The leadoff guy (Austin Jackson). I think if this guy gets on base, we can go a long way.

That’s important when you have a team like us. We have a good offense, but we need this guy on base.

“The offense, I think, is going to be there. It’s not going to be every day. But one day it can be Cruz or (Kyle) Seager or (Robinson) Cano. They can share that.

“The starting pitching? Not bad. We’ve got Felix (Hernandez) and Kuma (Hisashi Iwakuma).

The other three guys, I don’t know who it’s going to be, but they showed last year they can pitch and compete. ...

“The bullpen is still the same.

We’re missing one guy (lefty Joe Beimel), but I think they brought back the pieces to cover the hole.”

And the closer is back after leading the majors with a clubrecord 48 saves.

Time to dance.

Paxton update Mariners lefty James Paxton rolled through PFP (pitchers’ fielding practice) again Tuesday amid expectations that he should be ready to resume full throwing sessions by early next week.

“That’s the plan,” manager Lloyd McClendon said. “Ideally, we want to make sure that all of the soreness is gone (from Paxton’s forearm) before we get him back out there.

“The doctors feel he should be fine by the first of next week.”

Paxton injured both forearms last week, prior to the start of official workouts, when he reached to catch himself as he stumbled to the ground while taking part in an optional agility drill.

Wryly terming the mishap an “unathletic moment,” Paxton said he feels ready now to resume throwing even as he understands the club’s go-slow approach.

“I feel fine now,” he said, “but they’re just being careful. They don’t want to push me too hard or anything.”

Paxton, 26, missed four months last season because of a strained back muscle. This latest setback isn’t expected to affect his preparation because he had already thrown several bullpen sessions before camp opened.

“It won’t take much for him,” McClendon said, “to get back into the swing of things.”

Olmos to Texas Left-handed reliever Edgar Olmos is heading to Texas on a waiver claim.

He was designated for assignment Feb. 13 by the Mariners to clear roster space after they signed free-agent second baseman Rickie Weeks.

The Mariners acquired Olmos, 24, in a Nov. 20 waiver claim from Miami, and he once projected as a candidate to replace departed free-agent Joe Beimel in the bullpen.

Olmos was a combined 3-3 with a 4.06 ERA last season in 51 games for Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans in the Marlins’ system.

Ichiro Suzuki, who is in his first season with the Miami Marlins, played for the Mariners from 2001 until he was traded to the Yankees in 2012.

Playing for more than a milestone The Miami Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki is 41 years old, and 156 hits shy of 3,000, but don’t tell him he’s old.

By Juan C. Rodriguez Sun Sentinel

Many pundits have deemed the Miami Marlins as fielding the best young outfield in baseball. Giancarlo Stanton, Marcell Ozuna, Christian Yelich — and Ichiro Suzuki?

Asked about the three 25-andunder outfielders he’ll be backing up in 2015, Ichiro said before the club’s first full squad workout Tuesday not to leave him out of the mix.

“I’m 41,” Ichiro said, through interpreter Allen Turner. “I obviously don’t know what my role is right now. I’ll go through camp and find that out. Hopefully it won’t look like I’m using a bat as a cane. Everybody is treating me like I’m really old, but please, put me in that group of young guys. I feel young and want to be included in that group.”

The Marlins wouldn’t have signed Ichiro if they didn’t think he could contribute. The question is how much will Ichiro, a future Hall of Famer, see the field if the Stanton-Ozuna-Yelich triumvirate remains healthy. All three will get their maintenance days off, but no reason why they

shouldn’t each play 150-plus games and combine for well over 1,900 plate appearances.

Yet Ichiro, who begins the season 156 hits shy of 3,000 for his major league career, at no point during his 10-minute news conference acknowledged himself as a fourth outfielder. That’s fine with manager Mike Redmond.

“I was a backup catcher, but it’s not like I just said, ‘Hey, you know what, I’m just going to sit on the bench and be happy about it,’” Redmond said. “You always want to play, right?

Everybody wants to play. You have to be ready to play because when you get that opportunity you’ve got to go in there and contribute. He gives us depth at a position where we have a lot of strength, but it’s nice to have that depth.”

When a sprained ankle left Ozuna sidelined along with Stanton the final seven games of 2014, the Marlins were left scurrying for outfielders. Over those final seven, Yelich moved from left to center twice. Five other players — Ed Lucas, Garrett Jones, Jordany Valdespin, Kike Hernandez and Reed Johnson — made outfield starts that last

week.

From his 2001 American League Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awardwinning season with the Seattle Mariners through 2012, Ichiro averaged 729 plate appearances per season. If things go right for the Marlins he won’t approach that figure.

The AL, where Ichiro had spent his entire career and could continue to serve as a designated hitter, on the surface would seem like the better fit. Yet neither Ichiro nor the Marlins see this marriage as a square-block/ round-hole situation.

“The number 3,000, that is a pretty big goal and that is a goal of mine, but that is not the reason I play the game of baseball,” Ichiro said. “Obviously I have other goals and motivations that have kept me here wanting to play. I don’t think you can play the game if that’s your only goal.

“What I wanted most was just the warm feelings the Marlins gave me. There was nothing that came my way I didn’t like or would say no to. That’s a big reason I’m here.”

The Marlins scored big points with Ichiro letting him take his

physical in Japan rather than travel to the States. In addition, several members of the front office flew to Tokyo for the announcement, a gesture Ichiro lauded.

While Ichiro will likely need at least one more season beyond 2015 to reach the 3,000-hit plateau, getting to the postseason again would make it worth the wait. Ichiro was a rookie with the 116-win Mariners club that lost the American League Championship Series to the Yankees in five games. Over the next 11 seasons his Mariners clubs on average finished 19.7 games out of first place.

Ichiro did make the playoffs again in 2012 as a recently acquired member of the Yankees. The Tigers swept them in four games in spite of Ichiro hitting .353 (6-for-17) in that abbreviated ALCS. “I grew up watching him when he came over from Japan and was absolutely dominating major league baseball,” Yelich said. “To be able to play on the same team as him and pick his brain and watch how he prepares for a season or for a game is going to be cool.”

Revolution’s Okoli pushed for trade from Sounders

By Don Ruiz The News Tribune

TUCSON, ARIZ. — The bond between the Seattle Sounders and homegrown player Sean Okoli of Federal Way was severed because Okoli wanted out.

Last month, when Okoli was sent to the New England Revolution in a draft-day trade, it seemed the Sounders had simply calculated the advantage of dealing from their deep forward ranks to help replenish their thinner goalkeeping corps.

However, Okoli clarified Tuesday that he pushed for the deal after deciding that he and his hometown team were no longer the right fit.

“I did everything I could to get a trade,” he said. “So I’m just glad it worked out. ... I just felt like it wasn’t the right spot for me at my time in my career. So I would

revealed the need for surgery, which took place Aug. 9.

Then rehab, which Bloomquist attacked to assuage any doubts that he’d be ready by the start of spring training.

“It hasn’t come easy,” he said.

“It’s been a heck of an offseason just getting this thing back to par.

I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but the trainers and everyone have done a great job of getting me back.”

Bloomquist cleared another

rather move somewhere else.

Maybe things can be different.

I felt like New England is a great opportunity for me. I have to get more games in just to grow as a player.”

Okoli, 22, had signed a homegrown contract with Seattle on Jan. 8, 2013, after attending Todd Beamer High School, the Sounders FC Academy and Wake Forest University. During his rookie season, he was called twice to the United States youth national team camp and played in the MLS Homegrown Game as part of the All-Star festivities in Portland.

However, with veteran forwards such as Clint Dempsey, Obafemi Martins, Kenny Cooper and Chad Barrett on the roster, he appeared in only three MLS games, all off the bench.

“I was frustrated,” Okoli said.

“I had to keep working, but at the

end of the season when options came, I did everything I could to explore them, and I’m glad everything worked out.”

On Jan. 16, the Sounders traded him to New England for the 33rd selection in the SuperDraft, which was used to acquire Northwestern goalkeeper Tyler Miller. Miller has since elected to play in Germany, although the Sounders retain his MLS rights.

“We offered (Okoli) basically the same contract as New England ended up offering him,” Seattle coach Sigi Schmid said.

“He didn’t want to sign that contract with us, so we said, ‘Hey, if there’s a team that wants you, we’ll move you and give you the opportunity to play.’ We don’t want to hold anybody hostage who doesn’t want to be there.”

Although Okoli is a long way from home, the trade reunites him with a longtime friend from

Federal Way: fourth-year midfielder Kelyn Rowe.

“Sean grew up just up the street from me, before he moved to a different part of Federal Way,” Rowe said.

“We’ve known each other for a very long time. He’s doing really well in camp.”

Okoli will face his former team for the first time at 5 p.m.

Wednesday when the Sounders and Revolution meet in the third leg of the Desert Diamond Cup. The teams will meet again March 8 at CenturyLink Field in the opening game of their MLS seasons, but Schmid said there is no advantage nor disadvantage to that.

“Everything changes by the time we play our first game,” he said. “Everybody right now in preseason is mixing a little bit and matching, and different groups end of playing.”

hurdle earlier this week when he began base-running drills, which puts start-and-stop stress and lateral torque on his repaired knee.

It went well.

“I think that’s the first test,” McClendon said. “Obviously, it’s going to be day to day — how he feels from one day to the next. It still bites every now and then, but that’s normal. He’s got to get used to it, but that’s OK. “He’s doing fabulous if you really think about it. He’s certainly well ahead of schedule.

He’s feeling great.”

Now, the Mariners want to guard against any setbacks.

“He has the ability to play all over the field,” McClendon said.

“You know he’s going to catch the ball. That’s a comforting thing for a manager — to have a veteran guy who knows what he’s doing.”

That versatility permits Bloomquist to serve as club’s backup shortstop, which is key because McClendon said he prefers “to stay away from” using recently acquired Rickie Weeks in that role.

Bloomquist has started more games and logged more innings at shortstop throughout his career than at any other position. And while many roles

for Bloomquist and Weeks might overlap, McClendon contends the Mariners need both players.

“Oh, I think so,” he said. “I think we needed it last year. I think there’s a need for it.”

And if so, they need both healthy.

So while Weeks spends much of his time this spring learning the outfield after 12 pro seasons spent solely as a second baseman, Bloomquist will be eased into duty.

“Bah,” Bloomquist said, “I know I’m ready to go. And skip knows it. I’ve told him I’m ready to go.”

The County Council makes the following findings of fact: an emergency appropriation in the amount of $744,900 is necessary in the Road Fund 102 for the 2015 budget year to provide expenditure authority for acquisition of certain real property owned

by Canyon Creek Church of The Assemblies of God for the purpose of developing a transit facility near the intersection of State Route 9 and Cathcart Way. Section 2.

The County Council further finds as a fact that there is a need for additional expenditure authority to pay for the acquisition of certain real property owned by Canyon Creek Church of The Assemblies of God for the purpose of developing a transit facility near the intersection of State Route 9 and Cathcart Way. The need for this appropriation was not known, and could not have been determined, prior to the adoption of the 2015 budget. The Council therefore finds that the need for the appropriation authorized by this ordinance constitutes a public emergency that could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of budget approval and appropriation for the year 2015 and hereby authorizes the appropriation.

EDH614732

MANAGEMENT ACT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Section 1. States that the county council adopts foregoing recitals as findings and conclusions.

Section 2. States proposed findings of fact and conclusions, including but not limited to, determinations that the action complies with the goals of the GMA, the county’s Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan - including the CFP, state and county environmental review procedures, and the county’s public hearing process.

Section 3. States that the county council bases its findings and conclusions on the entire record of the planning commission and the county council, including all testimony and exhibits.

Section 4. Adopts the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program.

Section 5. States that the 2015-2020 CIP supersedes all other county Capital Improvement Programs.

Section 6. The council directs the code reviser to update SCC 30.10.060.

Section 7. States the terms of severability for the ordinance.

Exhibit A plus Amendments 1 through 10, the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program.

The CIP is a component of the Capital Facilities Plan but is a physically separate document that fulfills the County’s related financial and infrastructure responsibilities required under state and local law. The 2015-2020 CIP, like previous CIPs, divides the County’s capital projects into three broad categories: 1) General Government; 2) Transportation; and 3) Proprietary. Many small or midsized projects are consolidated into several program categories under these three broad headings, with funding sources and expenditure levels identified for each category over the next 6 years. The CIP incorporates the annual Transportation Improvement Program and its supporting documents for the surface transportation capital construction program by reference. The CIP also includes a determination of whether probable funding for public facilities that support development will fall short of maintaining minimum level-ofservice standards (called the “statement of assessment”). The GMA requires the County to take action if funding is found to be insufficient to ensure that new development will be served by adequate public facilities. Exhibit A also includes Amendments State Environmental Policy Act: To comply with the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) on this proposal, the county, on September 5, 2014, issued Addendum No. 45 to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Snohomish County GMA Comprehensive Plan 10-Year Update. Copies of all applicable SEPA documents are available at the office of the Snohomish County Council.

Public Testimony: Anyone interested may testify concerning the above-described matter. The Chair of the Council may choose to limit testimony to three minutes in the interest of accommodating all persons wishing to testify. Written testimony is encouraged and may be sent to the office of the County Council at the following address: Snohomish County Council, 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, MS-609, Everett, WA 98201. Faxed documents may be sent to (425) 388-3496 or E-mailed to www.contact.council@snoco.org.

Copies may be picked up at the Council office at 3000 Rockefeller, Everett, WA or will be mailed upon request.

Range of Possible Actions the County Council May Take on This Proposal: At the conclusion of its public hearing(s), the County Council may take one of the following actions: (1) adopt the proposed ordinance; (2) adopt an amended version of the proposed ordinance; (3) decline to adopt the proposed ordinance; (4) adopt such other proposals or modification of such proposals as were considered by the council at its own hearing; or (5) take any other action permitted by law.

Website Access: The ordinance can also be accessed through the County Council’s internet website at: www.snohomishcountywa.gov/2134/Council-Hearings-Calendar (click on hearings calendar).

SNOHOMISH COUNTY COUNCIL SNOHOMISH COUNTY, WASHINGTON NOTICE OF INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE and NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Snohomish County Council will hold a public hearing on Wednesday March 11, 2015 at the hour of 10:30 a.m., in the Henry M. Jackson Board Room, 8th Floor, Robert J. Drewel Building M/S 609, 3000 Rockefeller, Everett, Washington to consider the following: ORDINANCE NO. 15-004 MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN PARKS CONSTRUCTION FUND 309 TO PROVIDE EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY FOR GRANT FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THE STATE OF WASHINGTON RECREATION AND CONSERVATION OFFICE WHEREAS, Snohomish County obtained Grant No. 06-1763D, in the amount of $75,000, from Washington State’s Recreation and Conservation Office to provide repairs to a disconnected section of the Whitehorse Trail.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED: Section 1. The Council makes the following findings of fact: there are unexpected funds in the amount of $75,000 in grant funds from Washington State’s Recreation and Conservation Office and that a supplemental appropriation in the Parks Construction Fund 309, for the 2015 budget year, in the amount of $75,000, is necessary to provide expenditure authority related to repairs on a portion of Whitehorse Trail.

Section 2. The appropriation unit and allocation detail are as follows: 309 Parks Construction Fund EXPENDITURE: 309.51094804146501 Construction $ 75,000 REVENUE: 309.310985480270 Recreation Conservation Office $ 75,000 Total Supplemental Appropriation Fund 309: $ 75,000 Section 3. The County Council further finds that there is a need for such supplemental appropriation because the funds which support it were unanticipated at the time of adoption of the 2015 budget and have not been previously appropriated.

At said time and place anyone interested may be heard either for or against the above-described matter.

Accommodations for persons with disabilities will be provided upon request. Please make arrangements one week prior to the hearing by calling Randy Reed at (425) 388-3901, 1(800)5624367, or TDD # (425) 388-3700, or e-mail to randy.reed@snoco.org.

Jackson Hearing Room, 8th Floor, Robert J. Drewel Building, 3000 Rockefeller Avenue, Everett, Washington to consider proposed Ordinance No. 15-006, adopting the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program as a part of Snohomish County’s Growth Management Act Comprehensive Plan.

Policy Changes No new policy changes are being proposed or implemented in the 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program. The 2015-2020 Capital Improvement Program was developed as part of the 2015 Budget adoption process.

The following is a summary of the proposed ordinance: ORDINANCE NO. 15-006 ADOPTING THE 2015-2020 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS A PART OF SNOHOMISH COUNTY’S GROWTH

SNOHOMISH COUNTY COUNCIL Snohomish County, Washington NOTICE OF INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that the Snohomish County Council will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, March 11, 2015, at the hour of 10:30 a.m. and continuing thereafter as necessary, in the Henry M. Jackson Room, 8th Floor, Robert J. Drewel Building, 3000 Rockefeller, Everett, Washington to consider proposed Ordinance No. 15-005, correcting inadvertent errors in the Snohomish County Code (SCC), amending sections 2.01.040, 6.01.050, 30.10.050, 30.22.130, 30.23.110, 30.28A.040, 30.66C.045, 30.66C.110, 30.67.535, 30.72.020, 30.86.100, 30.86.220, 30.86.300, 30.86.310, 30.86.400 and 30.86.525 of the SCC, and repealing SCC 30.91B.130, 30.91H.180, 30.91H.200, 30.91H.210, 30.91H.230, 30.91H.240, 30.91I.050, 30.91P.245, 30.91P.370 and 30.91U.080.

Background: Code correction amendments are intended to rectify minor inadvertent errors that are generally non-substantive in nature and cannot be addressed by the county code reviser through the authority in SCC 1.02.020(2). This is a non-project proposal for correction/minor revision of Titles 2, 6 and 30 of the SCC. General guidelines/criteria that aid in determining if a proposal qualifies as a code correction have been established for previous code correction processes. The criteria are intended as guiding principles and a code correction would typically meet most if not all of the five criteria. The criteria are as follows: Does the proposed correction: 1. Solve an obvious error?

2. Solve a problem or provide consistency?

3. Have a simple need, scope and result which are obvious and do not require team review?

4. Involve minimal code drafting time?

5. Have limited latitude for interpretation of meaning and generally does not result in corrections to multiple code sections?

6. Have minor implementation consequences?

Prior to this proposal, the most recent code correction ordinance was approved in September 2014.

A summary of the proposed ordinance is as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 15-005 CORRECTING INADVERTENT ERRORS IN THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY CODE, AMENDING SECTIONS 2.01.040, 6.01.050, 30.10.050, 30.22.130, 30.23.110, 30.28A.040, 30.66C.045, 30.66C.110, 30.67.535, 30.72.020, 30.86.100, 30.86.220, 30.86.300, 30.86.310, 30.86.400 AND 30.86.525 OF THE SNOHOMISH COUNTY CODE, AND REPEALING SCC 30.91B.130, 30.91H.180, 30.91H.200, 30.91H.210, 30.91H.230, 30.91H.240, 30.91I.050, 30.91P.245, 30.91P.370 AND 30.91U.080.

Sections 1, 2, and 3. Adopts recitals, findings of fact, and conclusions.

Orange is the new orange: Browns helmet gets shade change Herald news services BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns are sticking with tradition. Like it or not.

The only NFL franchise whose primary logo is also its iconic helmet, Cleveland updated the design with a bolder orange and

a brown face mask, subtle changes the team believes honors its history and hints at bigger variations to the Browns’ new uniforms.

A Browns spokesman said the team used helmets with brown face masks in some seasons between 1952-62. However, the spokesman said the team’s

logo had never featured a helmet with a brown face mask until now.

The Browns also released a new secondary logo to honor the Dawg Pound. It features a snarling dog’s face on a bright orange background. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Dawg Pound, the nickname bestowed upon a section of bleachers behind the east end zone.

Team president Alec Scheiner said the team spent two years working on modifying the team’s primary and secondary logos as well as the Nikedesigned uniforms, which will be unveiled on April 14.

“What we wanted to accomplish here, and what our fans essentially gave us permission to do,” Scheiner said, “is push forward but

don’t lose track of our tradition.”

The Browns’ helmets will also remain logo-less.

Cleveland’s “new” logo isn’t much different than its previous one, and the team’s hyped roll out of the modified helmet — as well as a secondary “Dawg Pound” logo — was quickly criticized by some Browns fans on social media sites.

Many felt let down again by a team that has made the playoffs just once since its 1999 expansion rebirth and undergone multiple changes on and off the field.

Scheiner said the team expected some backlash.

“We get feedback from our fans,” he said. “There are some fans who would prefer we don’t change anything, and there are a whole lot that would like

Associated Press EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New York Giants released veteran defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka on Tuesday in a move that clears about $4.8 million of space under the NFL salary cap.

The NFL Players Association estimates the new salary cap will rise to $143 million. Cutting Kiwanuka’s contract, which had a

stay true to their storied past. Scheiner said the Browns did discuss putting a logo on the helmet, which will be the same orange hue as the new logo. The team’s primary logo also includes fresh lettering.

Nike did not suggest any change in color scheme to the Browns, Scheiner said. He would not provide any clues about what the Browns will look like on the field next season other than the uniforms will also recognize the past with an eye on the future.

“We’re always trying to strike a balance, so I feel like Nike and the NFL and people in our building have done a really good job with that,” he said. “Even though it will be more radical than the mark’s evolution, I think we’re still keeping things that our fans care about.”

us to evolve even faster and that’s just part of it.”

Scheiner said the Browns’ new uniforms may satisfy some fans who want the team to deviate from its old ways. There was internal discussion about changing the logo, but in the end the Browns wanted to honor what makes them unique.

“We spent a lot of time discussing it,” Scheiner said.

“The most important thing is that we’re the only NFL team whose primary mark matches the helmet, and we thought that departing from that would be too radical a departure, but kind of evolving that logo would be a good step for us.”

Scheiner said research done through focus groups showed that fans wanted to modernize the team’s look, but insisted the Browns

year to run at $4.775 million, increased the Giants’ cap space to nearly $23 million. A big chunk of the total will likely go to either signing unrestricted defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul to a long-term deal or placing the nearly $15 million franchise tag on him.

Kiwanuka’s release was expected since he’s been injury-prone and ineffective the past few seasons.

He took a pay cut last year from $4 million to $2.25 million to stay with the team, which finished 6-10.

The Giants’ first-round pick in 2006 spent the final five games this past season on injured reserve with a knee injury, finishing with 28 tackles and 21⁄2 sacks. He played through numerous aches and pains in the three seasons since a severe neck injury limited him to three games in 2010.

Smelt so good

MAKE THIS NOW

BOB CHAMBERLIN / LOS ANGELES TIMES

Chard soup on bread with cheese.

Brighten up your wintery soup with wild chard

I

kept staring at that patch of chard in the garden. It’s wild San Francisco chard. The leaves are so tender I’d been eating them simply sauteed in a little olive oil with a smashed garlic clove and, at the end, a squeeze of lemon.

But last weekend, thumbing through the charming little cookbook “Zuppe: Soups From the Kitchen of the American Academy in Rome” by Mona Talbott, I found a recipe for potato and wild chard soup. It reminded me of soups I’d fortified myself with in Rome many winters ago.

Cooking from the garden, even between seasons, has its pleasures even if the palette of ingredients is more limited. I love those dishes focused on just one or two flavors.

I remember arriving at my friend Chiara’s house on a chilly, windy day. Chiara set out two soup bowls. Each had a thick slab of grilled bread at the bottom. Then she broke an egg into each bowl and ladled over a steaming lentil soup, finishing the whole thing off with a quick swirl of green-gold olive oil.

At that moment, the soup was heaven. Each bite was a little different, filling and delicious.

We had cheese and bread after, sometimes fruit. But I always left her house feeling happy and nourished.

In her recipe, Talbott suggests serving the soup over a slice of toasted bread or with a poached egg.

Potato and wild chard soup 11⁄2 pounds boiling potatoes 1 large bunch chard (about 11⁄2 pounds) Salt 1 large clove garlic 1⁄4 cup olive oil Freshly ground black pepper Extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish Parmesan, for garnish Peel and cut the potatoes into small dice. You should have about 4 cups.

Wash the chard in several changes of cold water, drain and then strip the leaves from the stems.

Reserve and dice the chard stems. You should have about 11⁄2 cups.

Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook chard leaves in boiling water until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Drain, and spread them out to cool.

With your hands, squeeze out the excess water. Rough-chop the chard leaves.

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Sweat the chard stems in olive oil over medium heat in a 6-quart stockpot.

After 2 minutes, add the garlic and pinch of salt; continue sweating for 5 minutes.

Add the potatoes and 2 quarts of cold water to the chard stems. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.

Add the chopped chard leaves and simmer 2 to 4 more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper (we added 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper). This makes about 3 quarts soup.

Serve with a drizzle of new-season, cold-pressed olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan.

45 minutes, plus cooling time. Serves 6 to 8

AARON SWANEY / THE HERALD

Smelt, fried to a golden brown and sprinkled with lemon, is a great treat for the whole family.

For a Northwest treat, fry up a batch of these small fish

By Aaron Swaney Herald Writer

I

t’s a story I’ve heard a number of times.

As a little girl, my wife would go to a local Ukrainian woman’s home for piano lessons. Often before the lesson commenced, she would walk in on the family sitting around the table eating a breakfast of small fried fish — whole. They were smelt and they smelled wonderful.

The piano instructor would ask my wife if she’d like to try some, and she always happily agreed. She reminisces about this experience often, remembering how she would pop them into her mouth and enjoy the warm, crunchy fish.

Now she makes them for our family. They’re an easy, fast and quick way to get some vitamin B12 — and they’re really good.

We make up a couple of pounds and sit around the table, snacking on them like popcorn. Pop, pop, pop. No muss, no fuss.

The best part: Eat the whole

1. Just behind the head, cut the fish’s head off in one quick motion.

2. Flip the fish over and, right behind the back fin, stick one tip of the scissors into the body and cut up the length of the body toward the head.

3. Under cold running water, clean the out the inside of the fish, using your thumb to clear away the guts.

thing, tail and all. It took the kids a couple of fish to get used to the texture, but after that, especially after dousing them in a some tartar sauce, it was hard to get them to stop.

With La Conner’s annual Smelt Derby Festival this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to write about how we make them.

The great thing about smelt is they’re as easy to make as they are to eat. On a weekend a few

weeks ago we went out to Black Rock Seafood in Anacortes, bought two pounds of smelt and took them home. (I recommend calling ahead of time to make sure they have smelt in stock.)

Once home, dump the fish into a bowl and prepare to clean them. You’ll need scissors, a sink and two bowls — one for the fish heads and guts and the other for the cleaned fish. Thankfully, with all those little fish eyes looking back at you from the bowl,

cleaning smelt is easy.

The first step is to cut the head off. Make a quick, one-motion cut right behind the gills. Next, flip the fish over and, right behind the back fin, stick one tip of the scissors into the body and cut up the length of the body toward the head. Much of the guts of the fish will spill out into the bowl once you’ve finished the cut.

XO sauce adds luxurious flavor to Chinese New Year

By Bill Daley

hate to use the word ‘umami,’ it’s so overused, but XO brings up the flavor of simple vegetable preparations, like green beans.

It’s just a delicious, sexy flavor.”

“It’s not really a sauce but a topping I guess. It’s not like a beurre blanc,” says Ming Tsai, the TV cooking show host and cookbook author, when asked about XO sauce. His version makes a relatively dry and very textured paste.

XO sauce is also a relatively new creation. It was invented in the 1980s, according to “The New Food Lover’s Companion,” which traces its origins to Hong Kong.

The name was borrowed from cognac to lend the sauce status.

“I think in the 1980s there was a lot of optimism,” Tsai says.

“Chefs wanted to create something. ... They thought, ‘What can we create and charge a lot of money for?’”

Most chefs at upscale restaurants will create their own versions of XO sauce, says Martin Yan, the San Mateo, California-based restaurateur, but nearly everyone will charge

Chicago Tribune

The name is something of a fake — XO sauce. The Asian condiment contains no cognac, which is what the XO (“extra old”) term famously applies to.

Nor is it a sauce in the traditional, smooth sense but more of a chunky relish.

Leave any quibbles at the kitchen door, though, for XO’s savory, sea-salty, spicy flavor will set your head spinning, especially given the jaw-dropping prices of its main ingredients.

The sauce is expensive because it calls for, among other things, dried scallops, which can cost hundreds of dollars per pound. That’s what makes XO sauce seem so right for celebrations, like the Lunar New Year, which was Feb. 19.

New Year menus always call for foods symbolic of good fortune. There’s shrimp, which sounds in Cantonese like the word for laughter, according to Young; a whole duck, a symbol of fidelity; eggs for fertility; even pot sticker dumplings, whose shape resembles gold ingots of old. It’s

“If a food is not symbolic, we would eat it because we’re treating ourselves to something really nice,” Young adds.

XO sauce is just that sort of treat, with a flavor that enlivens even the simplest of dishes, from fried rice to stir-fried Chinese

Need a lift? Combine the powers of salmon, kale T his sumptuous meal could be just the thing to help lift you out of the winter doldrums. It is feel-good food on multiple levels.

First, you’ll be comforted by how easy and fast it is to prepare, taking roughly a half-hour to get on the table. Second, the taste of the richly satisfying salmon and hearty greens baked in an aromatically spiced tomato sauce will perk you up with one forkful. Third, once you have enjoyed your meal, this dish could continue to uplift you internally, because the ingredients in it are top sources of several mood-boosting nutrients.

Salmon ranks high on the list of nutrient-rich and

spirit-lifting foods, thanks to its wealth of omega-3 fat, vitamin D and protein.

Kale also has omega 3s as well as many B vitamins that are linked with mood.

So try this recipe for its wonderful taste, but you can also take pleasure in knowing it is serving you in more ways than one.

COOKBOOK CORNER

A realistic take on raw food Book: “Choosing Raw: Making Raw Foods Part of the Way You Eat” Author: Gena Hamshaw As soon as Hamshaw began experimenting with a raw food diet, she saw the benefits. The clinical nutritionist credits the regimen with solving her digestion woes, boosting her energy level, expanding her taste horizons and even changing her life.

But she still craved roasted veggies tossed in olive oil and sea salt. So she ate them.

Hamshaw’s continued fondness for cooking — with actual heat — may make her seem like an odd spokeswoman for the raw foods movement.

Her accessible approach, however, keeps attracting readers to her 5-year-old blog, Choosing Raw. And

dietary journey was the fact that she was young, busy and making only $28,000 a year, which forced her to be realistic about raw food.

Complicated recipes that required three days of sprouting and dehydrating hard-to-find ingredients were off the table. Instead, she developed techniques that helped her understand how to whip something up with whatever produce was in her fridge: hearty salads, blended soups, raw “rice” made from finely chopped veggies.

The 125 dishes suggested in the book are meant to be played with, Hamshaw says. Some are raw, some are cooked and some are a combination, but all are 100 percent vegan.

you if you request some.

“It will be $5 or $8 for a dish, a little plate,” adds Yan. “You only need a spoonful. It will add flavor and give you a kick and also lots of texture, being made from diced this and diced that.”

At home you can use commercially produced XO sauce. (A 7.8-ounce jar of Lee Kum Kee’s XO sauce is $32.95 on Amazon.com.)

Or hunt down the ingredients to make your own. The hallmarks of XO sauce are dried scallops and dried shrimp, but secondary ingredients vary by recipe.

Tsai’s version, for example, calls for diced Chinese sausage, while others use various types of ham.

“I’m totally into ham in my XO,” Leson says. “I’ve used prosciutto. I’ve used country ham.”

1 link (5 inches long) lap cheong sausage, diced 8 cloves garlic, minced (4 tablespoons) 1 piece (3 inches long) ginger, peeled, minced (4 tablespoons) 2 ounces each: dried scallops, dried shrimp 11⁄2 teaspoons red chili flakes 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry 2 tablespoons canola oil Ming Tsai offers his take on XO sauce, producing a drier condiment than you might expect.

Look for dried scallops and dried shrimp at Asian markets. If you can’t find Chinese lap cheong sausage, substitute an equal

amount of bacon or prosciutto.

Just add a teaspoon of honey to replace the sausage’s sweetness, Tsai says. A vegetarian option would be to replace the dried scallops and shrimp with dried shiitake mushrooms.

Soak the scallops and shrimp overnight in a shallow bowl of cold water to hydrate them. Strain.

Place the sausage, garlic, ginger, scallops, shrimp, chili flakes and Shaoxing wine or sherry in a food processor. Pulse until a fine mixture is formed.

Add 2 tablespoons canola oil to a heated saucepan. Add the scallop-shrimp mixture; cook over low heat until the mixture appears dry, about 45 minutes.

Serve warm or refrigerate in a closed container for future use.

XO shrimp Sauce 1 tablespoon each: oyster sauce; Shaoxing wine 11⁄2 teaspoons light soy sauce 1 teaspoon each: sesame oil, white rice vinegar, sugar 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt Shrimp 21⁄2 cups chicken stock 1 piece fresh ginger (about 1 ⁄2 inch thick), peeled, lightly smashed, plus 11⁄2 tablespoons peeled, minced ginger 1 pound large shrimp (40 count per pound), peeled, deveined, cleaned 1 tablespoon peanut oil 3 tablespoons diced shallots, about 1⁄4 -inch pieces 3 tablespoons XO sauce 11⁄2 teaspoons mung bean starch mixed with 11⁄2 teaspoons water The shrimp are first blanched in stock to seal them, then stir-fried.

Corn starch may be used in place of mung bean starch; 11⁄2 tablespoons of dry sherry can substitute for 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine.

For the sauce, mix together all of the ingredients in a small bowl; reserve.

Place the stock and ginger slice in a wok; heat to a boil over high heat. Add the shrimp; blanch just until they begin to turn pink, 30-40 seconds. Turn off the heat, remove the shrimp with a strainer and drain well over a bowl. Reserve. (Save the stock for another

use, discarding the ginger.)

Dry the wok with paper towels.

Heat it over high heat, 30 seconds. Add the peanut oil, using a spatula to coat the wok with the oil. When a wisp of white smoke appears, add the minced ginger; stir briefly. Add the shallots; stir-fry until they soften, about 1 minute. Add the XO sauce; stir-fry until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp; stir-fry until they are well coated with the XO sauce, about 1 minute.

Stir the reserved sauce; drizzle it over the shrimp. Stir to mix until the shrimp are well-coated. Stir the starch-water mixture, pour it into the wok and stir just until any liquid thickens. The shrimp should be well-coated and there should be no moisture in the wok.

Transfer the shrimp to a heated dish and serve.

Use it on Young, Yan and Tsai share ideas on cooking with XO sauce: Dumplings and dim sum: Spoon 1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon on top of each piece as desired.

Stir-fried vegetables: Add to Chinese broccoli, bok choy or green beans.

Steamed fish: Try it over salmon or sablefish.

Noodle soup: Stir some into the broth before serving.

Roasted oysters: Place oysters on hot grill. When the shells pop open, garnish with XO sauce and a squeeze of lime.

Pasta: Stir a little toasted sesame oil into the XO sauce to make for a looser consistency, then toss it with noodles or pasta. Or stir some into a scallion and ginger lo mein dish.

Fried rice: Try with crab fried rice or on risotto topped with seared scallops.

“Goods & Services”

© 2015 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 31, No. 11

Fritter, the things we buy are either GOODS or SERVICES.

At the doggy donut shop, everything I buy is good!

Yes, but goods are one thing, and services are something else.

Yum! These donuts are something else!

My pal Fritter is really confused. Read this page and see if you can think of a way to explain goods and services to him!

Cascade View Elementary Mrs. Craig • 5th Grade Goods are things that you can bring home like clothes, toys and others. Services are things that people do for you for money like fixing cars, washing car, cleaning house, and more. That’s what goods and services are. ~Fiona They’re many differencess(differences) between the two. One of them is what they are goods are things you bring home and a service is when you ask someone to do something. ~Alex So you want to know the differance(difference) of goods and services well you’ve come to the right place then “Goods” are things you buy at the store like lets say you went to the mall some goods are clothes, soap, candles, shoes, ect.

Services are things you pay people to do like your at the mall again and you want a hair cut, or that you need your car cheaked(checked), those are some services. So now you know the differance(difference) between goods and services! ~Revy

Goods = Objects

Goods are things that are made or grown.

Basically y, thing gs y ou can touch.

Basically, things you

Services = Actions

Ever get goods and services mixed up? If you do I am about to explain the difference. Goods are objects that do not require payment of a person.

Services do (require a payment of a person).

Goods can be like candy, furniture and other things that cost money. Services are like car shops. For these goods and services sometimes need big money. ~Ryan

Draw a line from each person to the service he or she provides.

Have you ever woundered(wondered) what good and services are? Well what a good is like you buy something you like and you take it home. A service is a thing like if you get a hair cut you don’t take a hair cut home people cut your hair and you pay for it. Or you get your nails done and you pay them. So I hope that helps you know what goods and services are. ~Sienna

A servicee is work that one person does for someone else.

How many goods can you find in this room? Color them.

I don’t really know how to explain the difference between Goods and Services but I’m going to try.

Goods are things that people don’t need help on guying, well you might need help finding it but you know what I mean. A service is where you pay someone to do something for you. Like if you get your nails done then your paying for service because your paying for someone to do it. That’s how you tell the differince(difference). ~Stephanie

GRANDPARENTING

Couple moves in with wife’s ex to save money

By Tom and Dee and Cousin Key Dear Grandparenting: What I am about to tell you really beats all. My daughter was divorced four years ago. She and her husband shared custody of my three grandchildren. Time passed and she got remarried. Some more time passed and she got into money trouble. She got behind in her rent and I had to bail them out.

She always has trouble with car payments.

Anyway, she and her first husband were always talking a lot because they shared custody.

Her husbands knew each other because they went to same high school. None of them had enough money. One thing led to another and all three sat down together to figure how to best make ends meet. They came up with a doozy of a plan. My wife and her second husband moved back in with her first husband. Honest to God! Go figure!

I am happy to say that so far at least I do believe it is working

out OK. The best news is that my grandchildren are happy. They might be happiest of all. It took a while for my granddaughter Lindsay to stop telling everyone her mommy was living with her husband and her boyfriend. This is what they mean by “strange bedfellows.” You must admit you’ve never heard of anything so crazy.

Stacie Stevenson, Charlotte, NC Dear Stacie: Unconventional living arrangements are more the norm in this economy. Necessity is the mother of invention. The financial toll imposed by separation and divorce compounds the situation. Couples who lose the cushion of a two-paycheck family may find it’s mighty tough to go it alone. As rentals become more costly, finding affordable shelter suitable for a growing family becomes more problematic.

Children frequently are reduced to collateral damage during divorce wars. It pains grandparents to see their grandchildren become pawns manipulated by one or both parents, shuttled hither and yon, often living in

Abby, my mother and her husband are in their 70s, and I don’t want to cause problems in their marriage.

I’d like to write it off as a “misunderstanding,” but my stepdad has a history of doing things like this. — Anonymous In Oregon Dear Anonymous: Your boyfriend should tell your stepfather the pass was unwelcome and he doesn’t want it to happen again. If it does, you and your boyfriend should talk to your mother about it and explain why she’ll be seeing less of you unless she visits you — alone. Because this isn’t the first time your stepfather has acted inappropriately, it won’t be news to her. And because she has tolerated his behavior in the past, I doubt it will cause problems between them now.

Dear Abby: I’m in my 40s and my boyfriend of three years is 12 years older. We are in love and our relationship is great. He travels for work and lives in another state, so he flies in to see my daughter and me every other week. Because he is older, he uses Viagra, and it’s kept at my place in a drawer.

I assumed that’s where it was always kept.

Abby, when he left for his trip yesterday, he took his Viagra with him! He says he grabbed the bottle without thinking and that I’m overreacting. The rest of his things are kept in his travel bag, so it’s not like he just gathered up all of his pills.

Because his little blue pills were kept apart from his other medications, it took special effort for him to pack them. Talk with him further because he may have been contemplating a “party of one” during his travels and not have been looking for adventure.

Dear Abby: My husband’s family gave us a large painting that is not our taste at all. We would love to get rid of it, but of course we feel obligated to keep it and hang it in order to not hurt their feelings.

They live nearby and visit often, so putting the painting away doesn’t seem realistic. We live in a small apartment and there is nowhere “discreet” to hang it. Plus, it is too large to take to our offices. Other than staging a robbery, are there any options that would keep everyone happy? — Grinning & Bearing It Dear Grinning: Another option would be to level with your in-laws.

NEW YORK — Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter never had a hit record before he died of Lou Gehrig’s disease in 1949.

But the folksinging legend, who is being celebrated next week as part of Black History Month by the Smithsonian with a TV documentary and 5-CD box set, left behind a treasure trove of recordings that yielded many hits for those who followed him.

Just months after his death, the folk group The Weavers, featuring his close friend Pete Seeger, hit No. 1 on the pop charts with his theme song “Good Night Irene,” which he first recorded in 1933 while an inmate at Louisiana’s notorious Angola State Prison by father-and-son musicologists John and Alan Lomax.

Among those inspired

by Lead Belly was Lonnie

In 1943, Allied troops reoccupied the Kasserine Pass after clashing with German troops during World War II. In 1950, “Your Show of Shows,” starring Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris, debuted on NBC-TV. In 1964, Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) became world heavyweight boxing champion as he defeated Sonny Liston in Miami Beach.

In 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos fled the Philippines after 20 years of rule in the wake of a tainted election; Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency.

Folk and blues musician Huddie William Ledbetter, better known as Lead Belly.

Donegan, the founding father of British pop, who had a big hit with his spedup version of “Rock Island Line.” Donegan inspired British teens to form skiffle groups, including 15-yearold John Lennon who

founded The Quarrymen in 1956 and later added Paul McCartney and George Harrison to the band.

“George Harrison once said, ‘No Lead Belly, no Lonnie Donegan. Therefore no Lead Belly, no Beatles,”’ said John Reynolds, author of “Lead Belly: A Life in Pictures.”

“It shows the far-reaching influence his music has all over the world,” said Reynolds. “He really knew about 500 songs and was like a human juke box. ...

He’s more relevant than ever. Jack White sings his songs, so did Kurt Cobain and some rappers like Wycliffe Jean.”

The documentary features interviews with musicians inspired by Lead Belly, including Roger McGuinn (The Byrds), Eric Burdon (The Animals), Judy Collins and Van Morrison.

Eddie Murphy refused to make fun of Bill Cosby on ‘SNL 40’ Though the “Saturday Night Live” 40th anniversary special that aired Feb. 15 was unflatteringly compared with a “four-hour clip-job,” it left memories both poignant and cringe-inducing.

There was Chevy Chase having what looked like a senior moment. There was Tina Fey wishing the ailing Tracy Morgan well. And there was Eddie Murphy, talking but not saying much.

Though Murphy’s monologue on Sunday was uninspired, it turned out he was the center of an 11th-hour behind-thescenes tribute show drama.

Would Murphy, known for

his spot-on Bill Cosby impersonation, imitate the embattled comedian facing a raft Eddie Murphy of sexual assault charges in an all-star “Celebrity Jeopardy” parody?

In a lengthy series of tweets Wednesday, former “SNL” cast member Norm Macdonald — who championed an idea to put Murphy in a multicolored sweater and dust-off his decades-old Cosby send-up — offered a glance behind the scenes.

“He steps behind the bar, begins mixing a drink,” Macdonald wrote, according to Gothamist’s heroic Twitter transcription. “When he speaks, he is Cosby. Eddie Murphy doing a perfect Cosby impression. The audience does not let him finish. The sketch ends.”

According to Macdonald, Murphy was reluctant, but after an hour long pep talk, acquiesced.

Until he didn’t. Alas: Murphy-as-Cosby was not meant to be because Murphy — perhaps the biggest star in “SNL” history, a man who does what he wants when he wants — bailed.

Macdonald credited the star’s moral compass.

“He knew the laughs

would bring the house down,” Macdonald wrote.

“Eddie Murphy knows what will work on SNL better than anyone. Eddie decides the laughs are not worth it. He will not kick a man when he is down. Eddie Murphy, I realize, is not like the rest of us. Eddie does not need the laughs. Eddie Murphy is the coolest, a rockstar even in a room with actual rockstars.”

When Kenan Thompson appeared as Cosby in Murphy’s stead on Sunday, the results were less than hilarious. It was clear that Murphy — for reasons either ethical or comedic — had dodged a bullet.

For Lead Belly, the son of a Louisiana sharecropper, his music was a ticket out of the oppressive racism of the Jim Crow South — including doing hard labor for nearly 10 years in prisons in Texas for murdering a cousin in a fight over a woman and Louisiana for stabbing a white man in a fight — that eventually took him to the political folk music scene in New York with Woody Guthrie and Seeger.

The documentary is being aired on the eve of Tuesday’s release of “Lead Belly: The Smithsonian Folkways Collection,” the most comprehensive collection of recordings by the iconic artist.

“Legend of Lead Belly” premieres Monday at 8 p.m. EST on the Smithsonian Channel.

W

hen King’s Schools reviewed statistics about its Class of 2014, the infographic painted a pretty nice picture.

The average SAT score of the graduating class was 1,652.

Eighty-one percent of the students who participated in one or more of the school’s 11 advanced placement (AP) classes tested high enough on their AP testing to receive college credit.

Within the newly built, 27,000 square foot STEM Center, hundreds of high school students flourished in their studies of science, technology, engineering and math.

Plus, the school offered four concurrent credits through the University of Washington in precalculus, computer science and Spanish.

All of the numbers added up to an impressive calculation: 96 percent of the school’s 2014 graduates went on to higher education.

Such numbers, of course, relay the

dedication to academics offered to preschool, elementary, junior high and high school students at King’s Schools.

Those numbers also relay an adherence to this familial phrase: Know and be known.

“The niche that sets our school apart is the environment that learning takes place in,” Sally Ralston, director of marketing and admissions, said. “With the goal for students to know and be known, there is a synergy among students and teachers, a community of connection.”

Ralston noted it is common to walk down the halls in the high school, junior high or elementary school and hear teachers calling out each student’s name and asking about their families.

“That’s rare, especially in today’s world where everything can be and is very much virtual,” she said. “At King’s Schools, it’s important that our students are known to us, that we achieve a great strength of community and family, togetherness and mentorship, all the way from the coaching on the athletic field to gathering in the hallway for lunch.”

As part of Crista Ministries, the student

body of over 1,200 youth enjoy opportunities within mentorship programs and service activities in and around the school’s community.

High schoolers can take part in specific ministries on-campus, at a radio station, in elementary education, in marketing and with humanitarian efforts.

“Last year, two of our interns were so taken with their work at World Concern, a global relief agency, that they raised money for a village in Laos, then later visited the country to see how the donated money was used,” Ralston said.

Such programs provide students with exposure and opportunity, ultimately carving a path of discovery for service, higher education and employment.

The school also emphasizes learning through competitive academic teams, championship winning sports teams and a celebrated arts program.

“The skills they learn in those classes – leadership, public speaking, collaboration, working together to solve a problem – that’s the very direction that education is going because knowledge is at our fingertips,” Ralston said. “We can all get

information on our phones or laptops, but the idea of using that information and working together to get the best outcome, that’s what these programs lay the foundation for.”

She noted that the competitive nature, alongside the unique learning opportunities of DECA, mock trials, robotics, ethics bowls, sporting events and music competitions, provide students a springboard of opportunity as they enter their adult years.

Additionally, school spirit soars through these programs.

“Whether kids are going off to a robotics competition or the football team is off to a game, we cheer our students on with a big sendoff,” she said.

King’s Schools also celebrate a vibrant spiritual life on campus.

Students from a variety of faith backgrounds attend Bible study and unify in Chapel each week to listen to gifted speakers and participate in student-led worship.

Tips to ensure a smooth transition to college as finding and applying for additional scholarships, and deciding whether they can balance school with work-study or a part-time job.

■ Balance dreams with opportunities. While students often pick a major based on childhood passions, parents may steer them toward an in-demand field with a good salary and career trajectory. In fact, 70 percent of parents say job potential after college is as important or more important than choice of major, according to a recent Discover Student Loans survey. Starting salary should also guide how much debt the student takes on. For example, if a student anticipates a $40,000 a year starting salary, he or she should take on no more than $40,000 in student loans over the course of college.

■ Figure out the parents’ role. The majority of student loans are for students, but there are loans specifically for parents (e.g., Parent PLUS Loans and some private student loans). Consider the advantages of each and decide whether

parent student loans, traditional student loans or a combination is best.

■ Exhaust free money first. Grants, scholarships and other free financial aid can help students pay for costs. Resources such as Discover’s Free Scholarship Search and Studentaid.ed.gov can help students and parents identify and apply for important free money.

■ Choose the right student loan.

With so many choices for loans, choosing the right one can be overwhelming.

Families should compare federal and private student loans based on key components, such as interest rates, origination fees and repayment options and then choose the loans that best fit their financial needs.

■ Seek consultation. Financing college can be an overwhelming and confusing process. Consider talking to a financial planner who can offer sound advice.

he transition to college is an exciting time, full of anticipation for the next chapter of life. But with new opportunities come uncertainties, from financing an education to picking the right courses.

“Paying for college and having kids leave the house is new territory for most parents and children. But with research and preparation, parents can help kids learn how to maximize available funds, borrow responsibly and manage their new lives,” said Jodi Okun, founder of College Financial Aid Advisors and brand ambassador for Discover Student Loans.

“Parents should encourage kids to take responsibility for forming a long-term financial plan they can work through together.”

Outcomes matter at Trinity

A

t Trinity Lutheran College in downtown Everett, outcomes matter.

The small liberal arts college reports a 95 percent placement rate for graduates, which means 95 percent of Trinity students are placed in a job or graduate program within a year of graduation.

“Our 95 percent placement rate matches or beats out almost every other small college in the country,” said President John Reed.

Placement rate reveals a lot about the kind of education and preparation a student receives while in college.

“We achieve this high rate because of our small size, and because the learning environment at Trinity is intimate and innovative,” Reed said.

The college has achieved such a high placement rate by putting students first, creating an environment where students excel and thrive because they aren’t just a number. The college sees each student as an investment in the future.

Trinity students are supported. Through opportunities like a state-of-the-art first year advising program and generous financial aid packages, students are equipped to complete a degree successfully and on time.

“Our students feel the support of a community around them as they complete their education and

prepare to enter the professional world,” said Andrea Paull, interim dean of admissions and financial aid.

Students are also prepared. Classes are small and taught by professors who are scholars and practitioners in their respective fields. Internships and practicums with local organizations pave the way for students to slide right into jobs when they are done with their degrees.

“We help students cultivate the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in the professional world, and then we help connect them with jobs where they can use what they’ve learned in a rewarding career, ” said Michael DeLashmutt, vice president for academic affairs.

In addition to the preparation and support, students at Trinity also learn in a rich and diverse environment. Trinity is a faith-based institution, proud of its Lutheran Christian identity, while also valuing the inclusion of those who have differing views, beliefs and religious backgrounds. And the college enrolls almost 50 percent students of color, a number that is relatively unheard of from a small, liberal arts college in the Pacific Northwest.

“At Trinity we have rich conversations and experiences that reflect the world we live in today. We strive to promote and embrace an inclusive community,” Paull said.

Maria Anakotta, a current Western student in the Human Services Program and recent recipient of Western’s Morgan Livingston scholarship, states, “My dream is to become a counselor and work with elderly adults diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s, as well as help their families.”

Western’s Human Services Program opens doors to careers in case management, advocacy, youth work, volunteer coordination, human resources, para-education, law enforcement and more.

Anakotta attended Everett Community College for three years before transferring to WWU’s Everett campus.

“Western gives students the tools to succeed in a rewarding field while

assisting people and improving their community,” Anakotta said.

“Many people I know in the community are graduates of Western.

It’s a very recognized and respected university.”

Western proudly serves the state of Washington, continuing its tradition of growing the number of available academic opportunities. Western is the number-one producer of Fulbright Scholarship winners among United States public master’s granting institutions, houses the nation’s first public environmental studies college, and sends the most graduates to the Peace Corps among all universities of its size.

Being prepared helps avoid common bumps in the road

5 things families with college-bound students should consider

T

ransitioning to college life can be difficult on both students and families. From new expenses to a new lifestyle, being prepared for what lies ahead can help you avoid common bumps in the road.

Here are five things families with college-bound students should consider:

1. Getting involved: Being away from home and making new friends can seem daunting. Encourage your student to get involved in school activities and events.

From joining the campus paper to running for student government, there are a range of extracurricular opportunities that can lead to new friendships, help students maintain an active calendar and round out one’s classroom education.

2. Health and wellness: Late nights spent studying instead of sleeping, as well as crowded dorm rooms, can be a prescription for colds and flu. Check out on-campus and local health care options before your student gets

sick. No one wants to scramble to research medical options when he or she isn’t feeling well. Many campuses offer student insurance. See what makes the most sense for your family. Locate a nearby pharmacist before visiting the doctor so you can provide that information at your appointment.

3. Financing College: College may be one of your family’s biggest investments to date. Whether that describes your family or not, there’s no doubt about it, higher education comes with a big price tag. It’s never too late in the process to seek out new financing options, even if your child is already away at school.

From filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, to exploring private loans, free online resources can help guide you through the process. Check out resources designed for college-bound students and their families, such as Wells Fargo’s “5 Steps to Financial Aid” video series, which offers helpful advice on finding a scholarship, applying for loans, and more from “Mr.

Fellows, your wiser college advisor,” at www.WellsFargo. com/fivesteps.

4. Staying in touch: You’re busy. Your kid is busy.

But regular check-ins with your student can help you know that everything is going well. Set up a weekly appointment to chat by phone and get the scoop — just make sure your student’s phone plan allows for sufficient texting and calling.

5. Money management: For many students, college is the first time they will gain some financial independence. Set your kids up for success by teaching them how to establish a workable budget. A checking and savings account designed for college students can help them stay on track. You can review money-management tools for college students at www.WellsFargo.com.

Don’t let the transition to college catch your family off guard. Parents can make the transition easier for students by striking the right balance of letting go and staying involved. (StatePoint)

Create a Financial Plan for College

P

lanning for life’s major financial hurdles is critical and when it comes to college, a plan can have a dramatic influence on how families are able to finance a degree.

That said, only 38 percent of American families today have developed a plan to pay for college, according to the 2014 “How America Pays for College” report by Sallie Mae and Ipsos. What’s more, only 40 percent of American families with college aspirations have a contingency plan in case of an unexpected event, which one-third of families typically encounter.

For many families, creating a financial plan or even starting to save for college can be daunting. But those who do strategize a plan statistically borrow less, making it especially critical for families who have, or will have, two or three kids attending college at the same time.

Luckily, many resources are available to help demystify the process, and they’re free.

For instance, many high schools have a career center and guidance counselors who can offer information about specific schools and scholarship opportunities.

Online tools can also prove a valuable resource. For example, Sallie Mae has launched a suite of new, user-friendly tools, including a College Planning Calculator where families can create a customized plan to pay for college, as well as a scholarship database with more than $18 billion in combined scholarships. These tools are on the company’s new “plan for college” section of its website at Salliemae.com/planforcollege.

Mobile resources, such as the new app “College Ahead,” are specifically designed to help college bound students take the next step, providing an interactive roadmap for saving and planning for college.

Lastly, families should consider applying for federal student aid on an annual basis, no matter what their financial status. To fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), visit www.FAFSA. ed.gov.

It’s never too early or too late to start saving or planning for college.

With 98 percent of families agreeing that college is a worthy investment, as much planning as possible can set families on the path to success. (StatePoint)

A

s thousands of high school graduates prepare for college, more than a few households are coping with “sticker shock” when it comes to higher education costs.

And many students are leaving universities not only with a degree, but a mountain of debt.

However, decades of student loan payments don’t have to be in store for you or your child.

With smart, long-term planning, this financial fate can be avoided.

“Anyone who anticipates paying for a college education at some point down the road should have a budget plan that includes a college savings fund,” said Diane Morais, the deposits executive at Ally Bank.

Regardless how far in the future your first tuition payment lies, consider these steps toward establishing a financial cushion: ■ Do your homework on college costs: While it’s hard to predict future college costs, choose a school that might be an option and plan on an annual tuition increase of about five percent to get a ballpark idea. Don’t be dissuaded by the amount you may have to save – with time on your side, much is possible.

■ Budget for savings goals: Prioritize future college expenses as a monthly budget line item.

The sooner you start saving the better, because even small amounts of money invested early can grow quickly through the power of compound interest.

■ Consider safe, secure growth: Investigate options where your money can grow safely and securely, such as CDs. Also look for a bank with competitive interest rates and no maintenance fees, such as Ally Bank, which compounds

interest daily and allows consumers to open an account with no minimum deposit.

■ Set up a dedicated account: Create a college savings fund and pass the word to family members and others who may be interested in pitching in over time. Many banks allow customers to nickname accounts, such as “Billy’s college fund” and offer the ability to “link” individuals to make deposits into such accounts for those who prefer to give a gift with lasting value.

■ Automate your savings: Use direct deposit or recurring fund transfers to put a portion of your income into college savings automatically.

With every raise or bonus, increase this amount.

■ Divert unnecessary expenses: Premium cable channels, magazine subscriptions and fast food costs can be considered extra and might be better spent when put toward a college fund. For more budgeting tips, visit www.AllyWalletWise. com.

■ Investigate all your options: See if your employer or state offers tax-deferred savings plans for college. Take advantage of opportunities that are right for you and your family.

■ Preserve other savings: College is expensive, but students have more sources of money for college than you will for retirement, so don’t dip into your 401(k) or other retirement savings.

Many accounts charge a penalty for access and you’ll be harming your own possibility of a comfortable retirement.

Don’t wait until your child is graduating high school to worry about college expenses.

The sooner you start planning, the better position you’ll be in when this critical time arrives.

At UW Bothell, it’s personal A

cademic excellence. Small class sizes. Meaningful relationships with professors and the community. Affordability.

Students cite these as major factors in choosing the University of Washington Bothell. They say professors go above and beyond to support their educational goals. Office doors are open. Professors remember their names. Here, they say, they don’t feel like a number.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, this dynamic university is one of three campuses of the University of Washington and offers fully accredited degrees from the prestigious institution.

UW Bothell provides the best of the Pacific Northwest. Located north of the Seattle campus and in the heart of Washington’s technology corridor, the campus is nestled between its own restored North Creek Wetlands, the growing City of Bothell and the North Creek Forest. UW

Bothell is the fastest-growing public university in the state. Since its founding in 1990, it has expanded from 126 to nearly 5,000 students and transformed from a humble office park building to a campus that has won top architectural awards for its modern buildings with a focus on the student experience and energy efficiency.

Newest additions to the ever-expanding campus include spacious apartmentstyle housing, a $3.3 million Sports and Recreation Complex, and the stateof-the-art Discovery Hall science and academic building that houses the School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

Nothing about this close-knit university is learning-as-usual. Its student body is one of the most diverse in the nation.

Almost half are minorities. More than half are the first in their family to attend college. Many are raising families and holding full-time jobs.

At UW Bothell, every student finds a campus community quick to meet their needs, with evening classes, long-distance learning options, support services and financial aid packages.

Considered one of Washington’s most educationally progressive universities, UW Bothell works closely with local industry and employers to understand their needs and develop degree offerings. More than 30 exciting graduate and undergraduate degrees, options and certificates have been launched in the past five years, including cybersecurity, computer engineering and an innovative undergraduate nursing degree. The focus is on high impact, interdisciplinary learning. How does art interact with political science? What’s the interplay of ecology and economics? “We want students to see the connections between subjects instead of studying them in isolation from each other,” said Alan Wood, founding faculty

member.

He, like his colleagues, is passionate about seeing each student succeed. And they do.

The university is producing Fulbright recipients, industry leaders and undergrads who make the Forbes “30 Under 30” list. UW Bothell graduates are phenomenally successful. They earn approximately $12,000 more in annual salaries than peers from comparable institutions — universities that may charge twice the tuition.

No wonder UW Bothell gets top national ratings for quality and value.

Money magazine named it one of the “Best Colleges for Your Money.” Washington Monthly rated it No. 6 in the nation for delivering the “Best Bang for Your Buck.”

One student spoke for many when she described it as a school offering a worldrenowned education, in a private school setting, at a public school cost.

Cascadia College dreams of green RAEJEAN SPENCER HASENOEHRL Special Sections Writer

tudents muddling their boots in a campus wetland to study the possible impacts of soil horizons on food production and fresh water. Opportunities to take part in service learning projects with EarthCorps, a group that restores parks and open spaces.

Participation in life energy projects onand off-campus. A learning laboratory inside a green design building where students monitor the building’s energy use and production and compare it to other buildings on campus.

All are part of Cascadia College’s dream of green.

Cascadia has been living green since its formation in 1994. The school recently upped its ecological ante by adding a Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Sustainable Practices (BASSP) degree to its curriculum.

This is the only bachelor’s degree program of this nature in the State of Washington and in a recent Cascadia College Report to the Community, the BASSP degree was touted as “the degree of our future.”

Why? Because the degree will lead to careers that keep the earth in balance.

The prosperity of our planet, our

people and our economy are inextricably linked.

By blending natural sciences, social sciences, management and innovation, BASSP students become equipped to design and implement sustainable approaches to how we live and work.

The degree, developed by Cascadia faculty and industry leaders in response to state demand, will prepare students to manage sustainability initiatives for government agencies, utilities, building and construction management firms, and other large organizations.

When entering the workforce, students will have mastered coursework within five competency areas: systems thinking, interpersonal, anticipatory, strategic and normative.

With these abilities to analyze complex systems across societal, environmental and economic domains, to motivate and facilitate sustainability research and problem solving, to craft transitions and problem-solving frameworks, and to map and negotiate sustainability values, principles, goals, and targets, graduates of the BASSP program will become key collaborators and innovators within the world of agricultural and resource economics, sustainable energy production, biodiversity, sociology, information technology, soil

Cascadia has recently upped its ecological ante by adding a Bachelor’s of Applied Science in Sustainable Practices (BASSP) degree to its curriculum. science, agronomy and policy.

Coursework is taught by instructors who are widely regarded as specialists in their respective fields.

Mark Nieman, for instance, bases his teachings on over 20 years of experience in the commercial building business with a focus on sustainability and resource conservation.

Much of John VanLeer’s knowledge comes from serving as an associate geoscientist and as an environmental scientist.

And Gail Alexander, who has been actively engaged in the field of sustainability since 2005, shares her diverse educational background in biology, environmental science and systems thinking with students to help them critically analyze the benefits and drawbacks of innovation and technology within the larger framework of creating healthy, livable communities.

The BASSP degree, both as an extension of Cascadia’s existing academic program and a furtherance of a longstanding commitment to environmental sustainability and social equity, is part of the school’s approach to provide affordable pathways to jobs that are in high demand within the Puget Sound area.

The program has been endorsed by the industry, with dozens of organizations, including Puget Sound Energy, Waste Management, McKinstry, Washington State Department of Ecology, King County Wastewater, City of Bellevue and O’Brien & Company, investing time to help shape Cascadia’s BASSP degree to meet their actual employment needs.

Cascadia offers an additional wealth of employment focused programs in business, engineering, integrated studies, networking, pre-nursing, science and web applications.

To learn more about the BASSP degree and other programs at Cascadia, attend an information session, call 425-352-8112 to schedule an individual or group tour, or take part in the 2015 Open House, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on May 12 at Möbius Hall Event Center.
