Lovick speech credits county In his annual address, the executive highlights the resilience of communities hit by tragedy, and avoids mention of controversies.

“We haven’t made any decisions,” Froschauer said. “We’re open to hearing from people.”

Written comments can also be left at the National Park Service website.

The agencies plan to analyze any concerns people bring up and include their ideas in an environmental impact statement for the North Cascades grizzly bear recovery plan. Froschauer said it is expected to address issues such as public safety, livestock depredation, farm crops, hunting, fishing, recreation and businesses that could potentially be affected by the effort.

The numbers of the animals have continued to shrink since

EVERETT — Snohomish County Executive John Lovick reminded people Wednesday of the resilience they demonstrated in a year that included the Oso mudslide and the mass shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School.

Lovick’s State of the County speech credited the community, local governments and law enforcement agencies with pulling together through two horrific events in 2014.

“We are still recovering and will be for years to come,” he said.

The speech also touched on the economy, public safety, the environment, supporting local farmers and protecting the vulnerable. It steered clear of a recent political controversies, such as the county’s stalled courthouse project, an upcoming vote related to commercial air service at Paine Field and clashes between his office and a majority of the County Council.

As part of the recovery from the March 22 mudslide, the county applied for a federal grant to buy

There’s an effort under way to help ensure grizzly bears don’t become extinct in the North Cascades.

The National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are working with other agencies on a plan to bring grizzly bears back to this part of their natural range. That includes many of Snohomish County’s prominent peaks, such as Mount Pilchuck and Whitehorse Mountain.

The grizzly bear restoration effort comes 40 years after the animals were listed in 1975 under the Endangered Species Act as threatened in the lower 48 states.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a robust grizzly bear population,” said Ann Froschauer, a spokeswoman for the Washington office of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

By 1980, Washington listed the grizzly bear as an endangered species. The state boasts about 9,800 square miles of potential habitat for the animal in the North Cascades ecosystem, which is one of six areas outlined in the federal grizzly bear recovery plan.

Canada also is taking measures to save grizzlies. About 3,800 square miles of the North Cascades ecosystem is in British Columbia.

Though U.S. grizzly bear populations have been dwindling

for decades, Froschauer said, money has recently become available to study the environmental effects of returning the animals to the North Cascades.

The National Park Service is providing most of the $550,000 for that work, which is expected to take about three years.

Next month, the state and federal agencies involved are holding a series of public meetings in six cities around the state.

Input gathered at the meetings, which are set from March 3 to 11, will help determine whether the agencies move grizzly bears captured elsewhere into the North Cascades to reproduce, explore other ways of returning the animals to the area or take no action.

Inslee avoids taxes in address to aerospace execs OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee on Wednesday steered clear of a contentious effort to impose new rules on aerospace firms receiving tax incentives, including the Boeing Co. He told a crowd of aerospace

executives that he is “monitoring” but not taking positions on two House bills that aim to tie tax breaks with the number of jobs provided and wages paid to employees.

Those bills would amend the 2013 law that extended tax incentives to Boeing worth $8.7 billion in exchange for the

Computer bests humans at ‘Space Invaders’

By Seth Borenstein Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Computers already have bested human champions in “Jeopardy!” and chess, but artificial intelligence now has gone to master an entirely new level: “Space Invaders.”

Google scientists have cooked up software that can do better than humans on dozens of Atari video games from the 1980s, like video pinball, boxing, and “Breakout.”

But computers don’t seem to have a ghost of a chance at “Ms. Pac-Man.” The aim is not to make video games a spectator sport, turning couch potatoes who play games into

couch potatoes who watch computers play games.

The real accomplishment: computers that can teach themselves to succeed at tasks, learning from scratch, trial and error, just like humans.

The computer program, called Deep Q-network, wasn’t given much in the way of instructions to start, but in time it did better than humans in 29 out of 49 games and in some cases, like video pinball, it did 26 times better, according to a new study released Wednesday by the journal Nature. It’s a first time an artificial intelligence program bridged different type of learning systems, said study author Demis Hassabis of Google

DeepMind in London.

Deep Q “can learn and adapt to unexpected things,” Hassabis said in a news conference. “These types of systems are more human-like in the way they learn.”

In the submarine game “Seaquest,” Deep Q came up with a strategy that the scientists had never considered.

“It’s definitely fun to see computers discover things that you didn’t figure out yourself,” said study coauthor Volodymyr Mnih, also of Google.

Sebastian Thrun, director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University, who wasn’t part of the research, said in an email: “This

Maurice Sendak’s hometown mulls museum in his honor

is very impressive. Most people don’t understand how far (artificial intelligence) has come. And this is just the beginning.”

Nothing about Deep Q is customized to Atari or to a specific game. The idea is to create a “general learning system” that can figure tasks out by trial and error and eventually to stuff even humans have difficulty with, Hassabis said. This program, he said, “is the first rung of the ladder.”

But to some ways of thinking, Deep Q wasn’t even as smart as a toddler because it can’t transfer learned experiences from one situation to another and it doesn’t get abstract concepts, Hassabis said.

Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — Three years after Maurice Sendak’s death, his western Connecticut hometown of Ridgefield is pursuing a museum honoring the author of “Where the Wild Things Are.” The town has its sights on a vacant modernist building in walking distance from the village center, a glass structure designed by acclaimed architect Philip Johnson as corporate offices for an oil exploration company that left in 2006.

A panel of local arts figures recently received endorsement from the town and Sendak’s foundation to explore the proposal.

Bears

seasons change, Servheen said. They usually hibernate from early November to the beginning of April.

In the North Cascades, grizzly bears eat more than 250 types of food, including grass, berries, insects and the meat of dead animals.

They are not good hunters, Servheen said.

“They’re very inefficient predators,” he said.

Most animals can outrun them, as female grizzlies grow to about 350 pounds.

The males weigh about 450 pounds, Servheen said.

Because they eat mostly vegetation and carrion, Servheen said, their return to the North Cascades would have little effect on other animals. Bears rarely have conflict with livestock but those that did would be moved, he said.

Without putting the grizzly bear recovery plan in place, Servheen said, there’s little chance the animals would repopulate on their own. They don’t tend to travel far or take over unoccupied territory.

As the recovery plan is studied, scientists will identify specific targets for the grizzly bear to be removed from the list of threatened species.

Servheen estimates that there would need to be at least 300 grizzly bears in the North Cascades for that to happen.

settlers killed thousands of grizzly bears in the North Cascades from the mid1800s to the early 1900s.

“It’s really shocking to see how many bears were killed for their pelts,” Froschauer said. “The fur trade was a big part of that.”

Now, there might be a small number of grizzly bears living in the North Cascades. It is estimated that fewer than 20 might live south of the Canadian border. In British Columbia, there are likely less than 30.

Snohomish County boasts the most recent biologist-confirmed grizzly bear sighting in the U.S. portion of the North Cascades. It was spotted in 1996 south of Glacier Peak.

Returning the grizzlies would help restore the natural ecosystem of the North Cascades. It is a rare opportunity to bring back all of the native animals to an area, said Chris Servheen, the coordinator for grizzly bear recovery for

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The effect on the environment from returning grizzly bears to the North Cascades is expected to be minimal, Servheen said. Recovery is expected to go slowly because the bears usually have two cubs every three years. In Idaho, a study of a similar ecosystem estimated that it would take 50 to 125 years to establish a population of grizzly bears that could live and reproduce without help from humans.

Servheen, a Montanabased biologist, said people will rarely come into contact with the bears

because the animals like to live in remote areas.

“Most people have no conflict with bears,” he said.

The return of the bears is not expected to change much for people using the wilderness for recreation.

Common-sense rules, such as being aware of surroundings, staying in groups and keeping a clean camp, will apply, Servheen said.

Grizzly bears typically live for about 20 years.

They prefer solitude, except to mate and rear cubs.

They like to have lots of space and roam different types of terrain as the

Members say they have found overwhelming support for the idea to honor a man whose influence went far beyond that of a children’s book author.

Sendak, who died in May 2012 at the age of 83, was born in New York City but spent the last four decades of his life in rural Ridgefield. Best known for the tale of naughty Max in “Wild Things,” his work included other standard volumes in children’s bedrooms such as “Chicken Soup With Rice,” a book about the different months in a year, and “Brundibar,” a folk tale about two children who need to earn enough money to buy milk for their sick mother.

Judge unmoved by killer’s complaints

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer

EVERETT — A Bothell man convicted of killing his estranged wife failed to convince a judge on Wednesday that he deserves new lawyers.

Alan Smith is expected to be sentenced next week for the February 2013 slaying. He faces at least 22 years in prison for beating, stabbing and drowning Susann Smith, 37, in the home they once shared.

Alan Smith, 39, wrote a letter last week detailing his beef

with the two public defenders assigned to his case. He secondguessed their strategy at trial, claiming they didn’t do enough to investigate what he deemed to be important.

He complained that the defense did nothing to counter the prosecution’s assassination of his character. He also argued that his lawyers failed to provide alternative theories about the murder — including the possibility his estranged wife was killed by a secret boyfriend.

“Some people have secrets,” Smith said Wednesday at

a hearing.

Smith addressed the court for about 20 minutes. He spent most of the time recounting the evidence presented at trial and what his lawyers should have done.

He told Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes that his lawyers failed to show up for appointments. He said he had a hard time communicating with them because they wouldn’t listen.

Smith also alleged that law enforcement and Child Protective Services should be held accountable for “abducting” his

children and placing them in foster care.

Downes denied Smith’s request for new attorneys. Case law is clear that lawyers are responsible for trial strategy.

The record shows that the public defenders “diligently represented Mr. Smith,” Downes said.

He also pointed out that an experienced judge weighed all the evidence — instead of a jury.

Judge Linda Krese convicted Smith earlier this month of firstdegree murder at a bench trial.

Prosecutors are expected to

argue that Smith deserves the maximum sentence — about 28 1/2 years in prison. They called Smith a selfish man, who has orphaned his two young children.

“The horrific scene that the defendant left in blood at the home where his children lived would seem clear evidence the defendant thought of no one but himself,” Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Craig Matheson wrote.

believe the law should take its course.”

The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the vandalism at the temple, which is on unincorporated land. The Bothell Police Department is handling the graffiti at Skyview Junior High, which is two blocks away but inside city limits.

Students were on winter break at the time of the vandalism.

The school, which is part of the Northshore School District, is working with Bothell police, said Leanna Albrecht, the district’s spokeswoman.

Student safety is a priority for the district, but school officials “believe this is a community issue,” so Skyview students were not being targeted, she said.

The FBI also has been involved, said Ayn Dietrich-Williams, spokeswoman for the bureau’s Seattle division.

MOUNT VERNON — A Skagit County judge likely will decide whether a Gold Bar blogger can attempt to recall Snohomish County’s elected prosecutor.

A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in Skagit County Superior Court to determine whether Anne Block’s latest effort to recall Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe is legally justified. It won’t be clear until the hearing how soon the judge will rule.

Block made a failed attempt to recall Roe last year. This time, she’s claiming the prosecutor engaged in misfeasance in responding to a federal lawsuit she’s brought against the county, the city of Gold Bar and several current and former government employees.

In her recall petition, Block contends Roe ignored the law when his office agreed to spend up to $15,000 on outside legal counsel to represent Kevin Hulten, an aide to Aaron Reardon, the former county executive.

Block filed the federal case in early 2014, citing, in part, Hulten’s online harassment of her and others. She twice attempted to recall Reardon when he was county executive and wrote numerous unflattering blog posts about him.

Reardon resigned after The Daily Herald unmasked Hulten as the person using the spoof identity “Edmond Thomas” and other pseudonyms to make a series of public records requests and to set up web pages attacking people he perceived as the

Faith leaders: Vandalism is hate crime

By Dan Catchpole Herald Writer

BOTHELL — Local faith leaders called on law enforcement to treat recent vandalism in Bothell as hate crimes targeting Muslims.

Law enforcement agencies say they are taking the incidents seriously, but they haven’t determined if they are hate crimes.

The vandalism, which was discovered early Feb. 15, targeted Muslims, but was left on the Hindu Temple and Cultural Center and Skyview Junior High School in Bothell. Swastikas were spray-painted at the sites, along with the words, “Get out.” At the school, Muslims were targeted in the graffiti as well.

The temple has added surveillance cameras and other security measures, said Mani Vadari, one of its founding members, at a press conference Wednesday.

Wayward fish found in Oregon Warm winter no

problem in Bend

The striped knifejaw, a species more commonly found on the other side of the Pacific, turned up in a crab pot.

The Bulletin

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — A fish normally found in the ocean off Japan and other tropical waters has turned up alive in a crab pot hauled up by a fisherman off the Oregon coast.

It’s possible the fish — a striped knifejaw — came across the Pacific in debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami, said John Chapman, an invasive species specialist at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.

Other possibilities include the fish being discharged from a ship’s ballast, or being dumped from an aquarium.

This is only the second confirmed discovery of a striped kinifejaw on the West Coast, Chapman said.

The other was March 2013, when five striped knifejaws were found alive near Long Beach, Washington, in a boat that had drifted over from Japan.

TOM CALVANESE / OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY

The striped knifejaw, normally found in waters off Japan, is photographed earlier this month swimming in a tank at Port Orford, Oregon. The fish was hauled up by a fisherman in a crab pot set off Port Orford.

Four were killed, and the fifth put in an aquarium for display.

The new fish, found off Port Orford, is 5 inches long, shaped like a sunfish, with black and white stripes. It was taken to the Hatfield Center in Newport, where a veterinarian was ready to treat it for cuts on its belly, Chapman said.

It was lucky the fisherman who found the fish recognized it as an exotic,

put it in a well on his boat, and turned it over to the university, said John Calvanese, an OSU graduate student working at a field station in Port Orford.

An estimated 300 different invasive species have drifted across the Pacific on tsunamis debris, Chapman said.

Most are small invertebrates.

Many are unidentifiable, either because they are in a stage of life not recognized by

scientists, or they are new to science.

“Debris is still coming across the ocean,” Chapman said.

“We know there is this conveyor of species from Asia land on our shores.

We’ve found parasites inside mussels that came across, mussels themselves that are strange, and oysters with parasites that have never been seen before, even in Asia. We’re worried,” he said.

Marysville: Fire damages home A fire Tuesday afternoon caused extensive damage to the bedroom of a Marysville home. The fire was reported just before 3 p.m. in the 6100 block of 99th Place NE. Firefighters fought the blaze offensively and brought it under control within five minutes, Marysville fire marshal Tom Maloney said.

Damage was confined to the bedroom. Everyone inside the home was able to get out on their own.

Two were treated at the scene for minor burns and smoke exposure, he said.

The fire was determined to be accidental. Damage was estimated at $35,000.

Hulten resigned after investigations turned up sexually explicit images on the county computers he had been using — plus a hidden trove of records documenting years of politically motivated misdeeds done on Reardon’s behalf on county time.

The GOP package contains one line-item for the district: $17 million for unspecified safety projects on Highway 2 between Snohomish and Skykomish. That works out to just more than $1 million a year for one of the deadliest highways in Washington.

Overall, the GOP plan proposes $570 million in spending in Snohomish

County. Subtract the Highway 2 expenditure and that leaves a lot of dough for projects in legislative districts in the county led by Democrats.

Pearson and Bailey said they don’t know why their districts got treated this way by their colleagues.

But the dearth of dollars does explain why civic leaders from communities they represent didn’t flock to recent hearings in Olympia to praise the Senate majority’s efforts.

Five arrested in drug investigation Marysville police arrested five people Wednesday morning as part of a drug investigation. Armed with a search warrant, police seized heroin, methamphetamine, $3,500 in cash and two shotguns from the home in the 3700 block of 103rd Street NE. Officers initially detained 10 people before making the five arrests for “various narcotics-related crimes,” Marysville police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux said.

BEND, Ore. — While the unseasonably warm weather since early January has made life difficult for skiers and snowboarders in some places, the overall impact on tourism in the Bend area hasn’t been as severe as feared.

“Business and revenue have been up over prior years, even as visitors have shifted their outdoor activities beyond the traditional snow sports to include other outdoor, spring-like activities including hiking, cycling, golf and fishing,” Alana Hughson, CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association, wrote in

“From the get-go, the FBI has pursued a parallel but coordinated investigation,” she wrote in an email to The Daily Herald. “Although an open investigation, ours merely matches up with the work done by our Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office partners, so we are poised to become more actively involved should evidence prove substantial to build a federal criminal case.”

This month’s incidents are not isolated, said Arsalan Bukhari, director of the Washington chapter of the Council on AmericanIslamic Relations.

He pointed to antiMuslim graffiti and hate literature left at the Islamic Center of Bothell between 2012 and 2014.

The graffiti at the Hindu temple and the school were clearly meant to intimidate, especially anyone in the area practicing Islam, he said. “It means all of us are being targeted.”

After the incident, Labiba Khan, 31, and her husband installed surveillance cameras at their nearby house, where they live with their two young children.

“It’s scary,” Khan said.

She came to Wednesday’s press conference at the temple to show support. She and her family are Muslim.

The association’s tools for tracking visitors to the region bear out Hughson’s claim.

While the numbers for January and February are not available yet, hotels and resorts in Deschutes County saw a higher occupancy rate in December than they did the previous year, and a noticeable uptick in revenue per available room.

Since early January, Bend has seen minimal snow and high temperatures that have been more than 7 degrees above average, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data.

bag over one shoulder.

She’s tried to talk with her 4-year-old son about the vandalism in terms he can grasp.

“I don’t know how you talk to him about it,” she said. She’s told him “some people don’t know any better.”

Hate crimes against Muslims spiked in 2002 after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C., according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, a database that collects voluntary reports from law enforcement agencies across the country.

Since then hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. have stubbornly stayed at 100 to 150 a year, well above the 20 to 30 reported in the late 1990s, according to the database.

More intimidation occurred Monday, said Niranjan, the temple’s chairman.

A man in a white pickup drove aggressively in the temple’s parking lot, making a lot of noise and leaving tire tracks in a gravel-covered area. The tracks were visible two days later.

When people came outside to see what was causing the noise, the man yelled a racial epithet most often targeted at black people, and told them, “Get out!” Niranjan said.

“Get out to where?” he said. “I’ve been here 40 years, two-thirds of my life.

I live here. I’m a stranger in India. It’s like someone telling you to get out of your home.”

be examined by a King County sheriff’s detective who, in 2013, was investigating Hulten’s “Edmond Thomas” activities.

In recall pleadings, Block maintains Roe misused taxpayer money in providing Hulten with an attorney at public expense.

In court papers, Roe said he was disinclined to provide Hulten with an attorney to fight Block’s lawsuit, but, when asked, decided to have San Juan County Prosecutor Randall Gaylord make the decision.

“I have personal feelings about Mr. Hulten’s actions, how they impacted me, other officials and employees in the county, and distracted the county’s focus away from more important issues,” Roe said in court papers. “His actions brought shame and embarrassment on the reputation of Snohomish County.”

Gaylord reviewed records, spoke with Hulten and determined that at this stage of Block’s case the former Reardon aide

is entitled to defense at county expense.

That could change, Gaylord wrote in court papers, “in the event that facts are later discovered or a judge rules during the lawsuit or any related action that Mr. Hulten was not acting, or purportedly acting, within the scope of his duties as a county employee.”

An assistant state attorney general requested Thursday’s hearing, which is required before a recall can be brought.

County you’re extremely excited,” Pearson said. “In my district, no.”

Pearson said he hoped to see $35 million in the plan to ease congestion on State Route 531 in Smokey Point.

A project endorsed by the city of Arlington would widen the road from two lanes to four lanes between 43rd Avenue NE to 67th Avenue NE. “I don’t know why it’s not in there,” Pearson said.

Bailey intends to lobby for it, too.

“That is a really important corridor. I’m hopeful we’re going to be able to work something out,” she said.

Sen. Curtis King,

R-Yakima, chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee and the lead author of the package, explained last week that projects were chosen for funding based on criteria.

He didn’t elaborate.

He said he knew of his colleagues’ disappointment and would be talking with them.

“We’re going to work on it,” he said. “We’ve got a ways to go.”

At this point, neither Pearson nor Bailey is saying how they’ll vote when the spending plan hits the floor of the Senate. Bailey said she’s waiting to see what happens with reforms before deciding.

“As far as I am concerned all of these reforms are needed before we start talking about the spending,” she said.

As the same time, she’s reaching out to King on where she would like to see money spent. It’s not lost on her that she is part of the Senate majority.

“Nothing is over until it’s over,” she said. “There are some things I am still working on.”

Brauch and Cecil Bur t. He leaves numerous nieces and nephews.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Marie Burt and Charles Brauch along with his brother, Larry Brauch.

Jim was raised in Everett, Washington attending Baker Heights Elementary and Nor th Junior and graduate from Everett High School in 1962. He joined the Marine Corps, Charlie Batter y 1st BN 11th Marines and served from 1962 to 1968 with a tour in Vietnam from 1965-1966. After his time in the military Jim attended Everett Community College and graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor’s Degree and from Western Washington University with a Masters Degree in Psychology. Jim ser ved the Everett Police Depar tment for 25 years and retired as a Lieutenant. He sang in the police choir called the “Thin Blue Line”.

After retiring from the police department Jim worked for Public Safety testing doing background investigations for hires for police and f ire. He was a substitute teacher at Sno Isle Skill Center teaching and mentoring youth to find and follow their dreams. He also worked as guardian ad litem for the at risk young children in the community. He was an auctioneer for fishing and other events earning money for youth.

His passions were fishing, r e a d i n g , m u s i c , h i s t o r y, poetry and tending his rose garden. He was very involved with the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club and one of its founding members; plus the Salmon and Steelhead Yo u t h O r g a n i z a t i o n . H e taught fishing seminars and wrote articles for the “Reel News”. His goal was to teach young children how to fish! He helped preserve salmon and wildlife and worked all the fishing derbies. Jim also enjoyed traveling and spending time with his wife.

Jim gave so much of his time and made friends wherever he went. It was not uncommon for him to run into the same faces on the river or in town and to each he remembered some small tidbit about their lives.

Marijuana to be legal in D.C. Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON — The city that brought America government shutdowns and all-night filibusters is set to make pot legal Thursday. But by the time the chaos over implementing the law is settled, most everyone in the District of Columbia might wish they were smoking some.

Residents voted overwhelmingly in November to allow growing and possessing small amounts of marijuana. But Congress, using its oversight authority over the nation’s capital, inserted a provision into a massive December spending deal that prevented the local government from enacting the law.

A dispute over the meaning of “enact” has left a haze of uncertainty over what is

legal. It has also sparked a standoff between the Democratic mayor, Muriel Bowser, and the Republican-led Congress, which has made oblique threats of jailing city officials if they proceed with legalization.

The dispute highlights the constant tension over autonomy in this city of largely liberal voters that is overseen by an increasingly conservative Congress. The local issue also holds symbolic value in the national battle over marijuana laws, given the district’s position as the headquarters in the war on drugs.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, who chairs the committee that oversees the district, warned city officials in a letter Tuesday that they would be “in willful violation of the law” if they moved forward with legalization.

His letter, also signed by Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., announced an investigation and demanded a list of city employees “who participated in any way in any action related to enactment” in crafting the city’s marijuana guidelines released this week.

But legalization advocates and city officials argue that they are simply carrying out a law that voters enacted. At least one pro-marijuana lobbyist said his side worked to prevent stricter language in the December spending law that allies felt could have gone further to hamstring the city.

And Congress failed to use its specific authority to overturn the marijuana law within an official review period, which expired Wednesday.

Eleanor Holmes Norton, the district’s non-voting delegate

in the House, was furious over what she called “unnecessarily hostile congressional reactions.”

“There could be a good-faith disagreement over the language here,” said Norton, who supports legalization and says she helped the city with its legal interpretation. “That’s all there is. And baseless threats won’t heal it.”

The fight with Congress has prevented the City Council from studying more specific regulations, or crafting ways to allow legal pot sales, as Washington state and Colorado have done. Alaska, which this week became the third state to legalize pot for recreational use, also lacks regulations to create a legal pot market. (Oregon voters legalized pot in November, but it won’t become legal there until July.)

GOP feuds over DHS

Teeth-whitening victory The Supreme Court on Tuesday cut back on the power of state licensing boards to restrict competitors from offering low-cost services, a victory for consumers that could prove significant in industries as disparate as taxicabs, funerals and cosmetology. The ruling came in a case challenging the power of North Carolina’s Board of Dental Examiners. The panel, most whom are dentists elected by dentists, for years has tried to prevent non-dentists from offering teeth-whitening in shopping malls. The 6-3 decision upheld federal antitrust charges against the board.

Georgia: Execution delay SCOTT APPLEWHITE / ASSOCIATED PRESS

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell meets with reporters in Washington on Tuesday to talk about his move to disentangle measures on the Homeland Security budget.

actions on immigration.

But Boehner repeatedly declined to say Wednesday whether he would take up the Senate’s “clean” bill. He pointed out that the House has already passed its own measure, which would fund DHS but block money for Obama’s immigration actions. Senate Democrats have prevented that bill from advancing four times. “Until the Senate does something, we’re in a wait-and-see mode,” Boehner said after leaving a meeting with Republicans.

At the meeting, according to members, Boehner revealed that he had not spoken to McConnell in two weeks.

McConnell’s office said it was much ado about nothing; a result of last week’s recess interrupting their normal weekly meeting.

Frustration among rankand-file Republicans also flared up, with House conservatives expressing disappointment with McConnell’s decision to take up the “clean” bill Democrats demanded.

“Right now, Harry Reid’s still running the Senate. That’s

a sad day,” said Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., who argued that a “clean” DHS bill could not pass the House with a majority Republicans support.

Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk, a moderate Republican, defended McConnell and laid blame at the feet of House Republicans. “Mitch has been around the block a few times and we will be able to extract ourselves from a totally unnecessary battle that the House has put us in,” Kirk said.

Democrats were happy to twist the knife.

“There’s trouble in paradise.

I don’t understand it,” said a chuckling Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.

At a town-hall style forum in Miami hosted by MSNBC and Telemundo, Obama promised that Republican resistance would not nullify his immigration actions.

“If Mr. McConnell, the leader of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner, want to have a vote over whether what I’m doing is legal or not, they can have that vote.

I will veto that vote because I’m absolutely confident it’s the right thing we do,” he said.

McConnell has devised a plan to fund DHS and allow conservatives to vent their frustration with Obama separately. He intends to hold a vote on a standalone measure that would undo Obama’s 2014 actions, including stemming the deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants.

But the bill faces a difficult path until DHS is actually funded beyond midnight Friday. Reid said he would encourage his caucus to block the bill until both chambers of Congress pass a DHS spending bill and send it to the president.

In a partial DHS shutdown, nonessential workers would be furloughed until the department’s funds are replenished.

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson won support Wednesday from two of his Republican predecessors — Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff — who joined him in warning that a shutdown would hurt the department’s ability to protect the homeland.

Moon or Mars? The debate goes on To the moon again? Or Mars?

The questions have hung over NASA for years, and emerged again at a Senate committee hearing Tuesday.

Under President George W. Bush, the target was the moon.

Under Barack Obama, who said “we’ve been there before,” Mars became the mission.

But now as his term nears its end, there is some increasingly vocal criticism of that decision, saying there isn’t the funding or political will to get to Mars.

Focusing on Mars is a “flawed policy direction,” Scott

WASHINGTON — This time, Donald Trump says, he means it. The billionaire real-estate mogul — long amounting to a one-man circus sideshow in GOP presidential politics — said Wednesday that he is “more serious” than ever about pursuing a run for the White House in 2016. In recent days, Trump said, he has hired staffers in key primary states, retained an election attorney and delayed signing on for another season as host of NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” because of his political projects. “I’m not doing this for enjoyment. I’m doing this because the country is in serious trouble,” he said.

Most legally married same-sex couples will be entitled to take up to 12 weeks leave to care for an ailing spouse regardless of whether the state in which they live recognizes their marriage under a rule issued Wednesday by the Department of Labor. The new rule is the last major step in a series of moves by the Obama administration to extend federal rights to gay couples under the Supreme Court’s Windsor decision two years ago. It extends the right to medical leave to legally married same-sex couples living in states that do not recognize their marriage.

Ruling on gay marriage

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell backs a “clean” bill to provide funding for the U.S. security agency.

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans have been plagued in recent years by a fractious and politically harmful family feud. Wednesday provided fresh evidence that the party’s sweeping November midterm wins have done little to alter that dynamic.

House and Senate Republicans remained at odds over how to fund the Department of Homeland Security and while continuing to do battle with President Barack Obama over immigration. With just two days left before funding authority for DHS runs out, there was uncertainty about whether and how lawmakers can get a bill to Obama’s desk in time avoid a partial shuttering of the department.

The Senate on Wednesday advanced a DHS funding measure that would fund the agency through September and forestall a shutdown. But that proposal, crafted by Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, could face stiff GOP resistance in the House, where Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has not been willing to say whether he would bring the bill to a vote.

The debate has inflamed tensions between House and Senate Republican leaders, who are struggling to govern in the early days their congressional majority. On a 98-2 vote, the Senate’s DHS bill cleared a key procedural hurdle that could set up a final vote as soon as Thursday. It would fund DHS through the end of the fiscal year, and it would not impact Obama’s executive

ACROSS THE U.S.

Pace, the director of the Space Policy Institute at George Washington University testified this week. The shift in goals “blindsided” the international space community, he said. The moon “is the next logical target for all of our potential international partners.”

Russia has endorsed sending astronauts there, he said.

China sent an unmanned rover to the moon, and unveiled designs for a new heavy rocket for deep space exploration. It even has plans to build its own space station. “Growing space powers such as the Republic of Korea and India have their

own unmanned lunar ambitions,” Pace said, while adding that the private sector has also made huge advancements.

To regain its prominence in space, the U.S. should “lead a multinational program to explore the moon,” Pace said.

If it doesn’t, he could imagine a “post-American space world, with a full range of manned and unmanned space activities, but without American leadership or even, in many cases, an American presence.”

Testifying before the same committee, Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 pilot who was the

second man to walk on the moon, said NASA is right to focus on going beyond the moon. “American leadership is more than simply getting one step ahead of our global competitors,” he said. “American leadership is inspiring the world by consistently doing what no other nation is capable of doing.” Aldrin said he’s working on a plan to get to Mars, and the next president should press ahead with the mission.

“I believe that early in the next administration, the nation must commit to developing a permanent presence on Mars,” he said.

Winter storm warnings led officials to postpone a lethal injection scheduled for Wednesday night, which would have been the state’s first execution of a female inmate since World War II. The decision was announced Wednesday afternoon by the Department of Corrections. A spokeswoman said the execution of Kelly Renee Gissendaner was delayed because of a winter storm that is expected to wallop the northern half of the state. Her execution was rescheduled for Monday.

New York: ISIS suspects Three men were arrested Wednesday on charges of plotting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group and wage war against the U.S., and federal officials said one of them spoke of shooting President Barack Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island. Akhror Saidakhmetov was arrested at Kennedy Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, officials said.

Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev had a ticket to travel to Istanbul next month and was arrested in Brooklyn, they said.

A third man, Abror Habibov, is accused of helping fund Saidakhmetov’s efforts and was held without bail in Florida.

Maine: 70 vehicle pileups More than 70 vehicles got tangled up in a series of chain-reaction pileups Wednesday along a snowy stretch of I-95, injuring at least 17 people, state police said. The pileups in Etna, near Bangor, happened at about 7:30 a.m. and involved several cars, a school bus and a tractor-trailer, a state police spokesman said. He said some of the injuries were serious. Emergency personnel climbed on top of cars to reach motorists stuck in the middle of the jumble of vehicles.

AROUND THE WORLD Brazil: Fish die-off in bay Rio de Janeiro’s environmental agency said it’s investigating a fish dieoff that left thousands of carcasses floating in waters where sailing events are to be held when Brazil hosts next year’s Olympics. The dead twaite shad, small whitish gray fish, were found Tuesday by inspectors conducting water testing in Rio’s sewage- and trashfilled Guanabara Bay. The agency was conducting tests to determine the cause of the die-off, with results expected in a week.

Southwest 737s to fly The airline canceled 80 flights across its network Tuesday because of missed rudder inspections.

Bloomberg News DALLAS — Southwest Airlines, the world’s biggest operator of Boeing Co. 737 jets, said it will continue flying 128 aircraft while catching up on missed inspections on the planes’ rudders.

Almost 80 of the Boeing 737700 checks were completed by midday Wednesday, and the carrier expects to finish all 128 before a five-day deadline set by the Federal Aviation Administration, the airline said. The FAA said Southwest could operate the planes, which make up about one-fifth of its fleet, while conducting the reviews.

Southwest voluntarily grounded the planes for six hours Tuesday after discovering the maintenance lapse and notifying the FAA. The latest problem follows two instances in the last decade in which the Dallas-based airline was fined at least $10 million by the FAA for inadequate inspections or maintenance repairs.

“These airplanes have complicated inspection schedules,” said John Hansman, professor of aeronautics and astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “They go through a series of different progressive checks.

It sounds like a tracking error oversight.”

The missed inspections involve standby hydraulic systems, which serve as the final backup to two primary levels of equipment, and the lowest of three intervals for the checks, the airline said. Each inspection takes about two hours, Southwest said.

“This is a periodic inspection of a backup system,” the FAA said. “The FAA evaluated the risk and agreed that the airline could continue to operate the planes during this short interim.”

Southwest canceled 80 flights across its network Tuesday

DAVID PIKE / VALLEY MORNING STAR

Valley International Airport fire trucks blast their water canons over a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 airliner Feb. 11 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Southwest serving the airport in Harlingen, Texas.

They discovered an inadvertent oversight and they brought it to the FAA’s attention.

— John Cox, Airline safety consultant

because of the missed inspections, said Brandy King, a spokeswoman for the carrier.

“The airline is anticipating very minimal impact to their operation as they complete the remaining checks,” King said.

“We only expect around 15 to 19 cancels today as we reposition aircraft.”

Boeing’s twin-engine 737 is the world’s most widely flown jetliner, a workhorse model on short-haul flights like those flown

by Southwest. Southwest is the world’s biggest discount carrier and had 665 planes in its all-737 fleet at the end of 2014.

Under FAA’s policy of overseeing airline safety for the past decade, Southwest probably won’t face an enforcement action or penalty for the lapse.

As part of a broader effort to improve safety as accidents have become increasingly rare and difficult to predict, the agency has begun encouraging pilots

and carriers to come forward with safety errors voluntarily.

In exchange for that openness, the FAA essentially gives airlines immunity if it finds that they didn’t make errors intentionally and didn’t mislead the agency.

“This is the way the system is supposed to work,” said John Cox, a former 737 pilot who now heads a safety consulting company.

“They discovered an inadvertent oversight and they brought it to the FAA’s attention.”

Cox said he never had to use the backup hydraulic system that Southwest failed to inspect during the 15 years he flew the 737. Pilots test it at least once a day to ensure it’s working, so the chances of it causing a safety problem in flight are extremely low, he said.

While the issue doesn’t appear to have compromised safety, it’s unusual for an airline to miss a mandatory inspection and the FAA will conduct an

investigation to determine how the lapse occurred, he said. Cox is president of Washington-based Safety Operating Systems, which does airline safety audits and consulting.

The latest incident is a stark contrast to Southwest’s failure to perform inspections for fuselage cracks in 2006 and 2007. In that case, Southwest and an FAA manager knew about the missed inspections involving 46 jets used on almost 60,000 flights, and didn’t report them. The issue didn’t come to light until whistle-blowers brought it to congressional investigators. The FAA sought a then-record $10.2 million fine and Southwest later agreed to pay $7.5 million.

Southwest is opposing a proposed $12 million fine the FAA proposed last year for operating “numerous flights” in 2009 with inadequate repairs to fuselage skins. The maintenance was designed to eliminate potential cracks on 44 of the airline’s 737s. The repairs were done by a Southwest contractor.

Also in 2009, Southwest inspected all 181 of one model of 737 for metal weakness after a hole about a foot wide opened in a plane’s fuselage, forcing an emergency landing. No flaws were found, Southwest said at the time.

Profits flow to shareholders, not economy Lydia DePillis The Washington Post

If you’ve noticed the steep upward trajectory of the stock market over the past few years, looked around and wondered why cash doesn’t appear to be raining down upon your friends and neighbors, you’d be justified in wondering: What’s going on here? If corporate America is doing so well, shouldn’t we feel like things are getting better, too?

In the past several years, profits have been increasingly paid back out to shareholders, rather than invested in hiring more people and paying them better. And lately, companies have even been borrowing money to make those shareholder payouts, because with interest rates so low, it’s a cheap way to push stock prices higher.

That’s according to a new paper from the Roosevelt Institution, a think tank that’s launching a project exploring how finance has unlinked corporations from the well-being of regular people.

“The health of the financial system might matter less for the real economy than it once did,” writes J.W. Mason, a professor of economics at John Jay College who

wrote the paper, “because finance is no longer an instrument for getting money into productive businesses, but for getting money out of them.”

If it holds up, that has serious implications for how the Federal Reserve should tend the “real economy” in the future.

Here’s the data at the center of the report: In the 1960s, 40 percent of earnings and borrowing used to go into investment. In the 1980s, that figure fell to less than 10 percent, and hasn’t risen since. Instead of investment, borrowing is now closely correlated with shareholder payouts, which have nearly doubled as a share of corporate assets since the 1980s.

So what happened in the 1980s? The “shareholder revolution,” starting with a wave of hostile takeovers, propelled a shift in American corporate governance. Investors began demanding more control over the firm’s cash flow. Rather than plowing profits back into expansion and employee welfare, managers would pay them out in dividends.

The years since the recession have given firms even more of an incentive to dispense cash rather than invest in growth: The Fed’s

policy of keeping interest rates low has made credit cheap, and with weak consumer demand, high-yield investment opportunities have been scarce. So instead, companies have been borrowing to buy back stock, which boosts their share price and keeps investors happy — but doesn’t give anything back to the world of job listings and salary freezes.

“In the postwar decades, when today’s policy consensus took shape, abundant credit would have offered strong encouragement for higher investment,” Mason writes. “But in the financialized economy, the link between credit availability and real production and job growth is much less reliable.”

Until a few years ago there was an exception to that kind of shareholder-above-all philosophy: Silicon Valley firms like Apple, Google and Facebook, which have resisted paying dividends and spend lavishly on the development of new products.

But in 2013, Apple came under intense pressure from shareholders to share some of the massive cash pile it had accumulated over the years. So rather than paying its army of retail workers something commensurate to

the tremendous volume of sales they do for the company, Apple embarked on a stock repurchase and dividend payout program that will return $130 billion to investors by the end of the year.

That worries Mason.

“If managers don’t have the autonomy to say ‘You’re just going to have to take a lower return today,’ you’re not going to see investment on the kind of scale that we used to,” he said.

Of course, in the modern economy, it may be that investing in people — which would raise wages and boost hiring — isn’t the kind of smart business decision that a manager would make, even absent pressure from shareholders. Factories run with less labor now, and robots might require more cash now but save money down the line. That’s where Mason thinks societal pressure might have to be brought to bear on businesses with the power to spread their wealth.

“There is, at some point, a value judgment that we can’t avoid,” he says. “We might say that actually, business activity has other goals in addition to generating profits for shareholders, and it’s not good for society if we keep paying workers low wages.”

Wisconsin right-to-work protests muted For two straight days this week, 2,000 union members converged on Wisconsin’s Capitol, Madison, to rally against a new right-to-work bill, chanting, marching and hurling profanities at GOP lawmakers and Gov. Scott Walker. The tone of the rallies has been bitter and angry but hasn’t come close to matching the energy that coursed through the building four years ago during massive protests against Walker’s proposal to strip public workers of most of their union rights. This time around, union members said Republicans are moving too fast to organize large crowds. Some have even conceded it’s a lost cause and the governor is bound to score another victory against organized labor.

International travelers top spending record Neither epic ice storms, Ebola outbreaks nor rising air fares slowed travel to the U.S. last year, as international visitors spent a record $222 billion while in the country, according to a new federal estimate. Spending by international visitors to the U.S. increased 4 percent last year, compared to 2013, when travelers from abroad spent $215 billion to fly into and stay in the country, according to an estimate released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Commerce. International travelers spent $43 billion on travel expenses, with the remaining $179 billion going toward hotels, food, drinks, souvenirs and other expenses, according to the report.

Target’s earnings better than expected Target on Wednesday released stronger-than-expected earnings results for the holiday quarter, more evidence that the big-box retailer has begun a turnaround after a challenging year in which it had to rebuild consumers’ trust after a major data breach. The retailer saw a 3.8 percent increase in sales at stores open more than a year, an uptick that handily beat the 3 percent the company had forecast just two weeks before the end of the quarter. Traffic in its stores was up 3.2 percent, and sales rose to $21.8 billion in the quarter, a 4.1 percent increase over the previous year.

T.J. Maxx, Marshalls to raise worker pay TJX Cos., the owner of discount retailers T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, is raising its worker pay to at least $9 an hour this year, a sign that the retail industry is responding to a similar wage hike announced last week by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. TJX said all of its U.S. employees will start earning at least $9 an hour in June and that those who have worked at least six months will get a boost to $10 an hour in 2016.

As the economy improves, pay raises could help retailers hold onto employees who increasingly have more options in the job market.

2014 U.S. wine exports 2nd highest on record Los Angeles Times Exports of U.S. wine last year were the secondmost valuable on record, reaching $1.49 billion in revenue, nearly all of it from California.

The European Union was the largest buyer of U.S. wine at $517 million, followed by

135 destroyed, flooded or at-risk land parcels in the slide zone. Staff hopes to hear back this spring, Lovick said.

Creating a memorial for the 43 slide victims is an ongoing conversation.

“This is an very important effort that will take time and respect,” he said.

As for the Oct. 24 school shooting, Lovick said he stood in “awe and admiration” of the School District, tribal and police officials who have collaborated in its aftermath. In all, six students were struck by bullets

Senate Majority Leader Mark Schoesler, R-Ritzville, said the Legislature made a deal with Boeing in 2013 and his caucus isn’t going to renege on it.

“A deal is a deal. If we tell you we’re going to do something, there’s no claw backs. There are no second thoughts,” he said. “We go forward.”

Canada ($487 million) and Japan ($88 million), the Wine Institute said Wednesday.

About 90 percent of U.S. wine exports come from California.

A strong dollar and a slowdown at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles over a labor dispute challenged exporters.

Still, the volume of exports last year rose to 116.9 million gallons, up from 115 million in 2013 when revenue reached a record $1.55 billion.

“With three back-to-back California vintages heralded for their high quality and size, we have the ability to meet consumer demand for

our wines both in the U.S. and abroad,” said Robert Koch, president and chief executiveoftheSanFranciscobased Wine Institute, a trade association that advocates for the wine industry.

“Despite our strong dollar and heavily subsidized foreign competition and their high tariffs, consumers

worldwide are attracted to all things California.”

Exporters saw strong growth in Asian markets such as South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore and Taiwan.

However, sales to China, the fourth-biggest market for U.S. wine, slipped 7.6 percent to $71 million because of a corruption

crackdown and austerity campaign launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The value of U.S. wine exports have more than doubled in the past decade and have risen 64 percent since 2009.

A little more than onetenth of the wine produced in the U.S. is exported.

and five died, including the shooter.

Lovick delivered two nearly identical speeches, first to business leaders at an Economic Alliance Snohomish County breakfast and later to a public meeting attended mainly by county employees.

Lovick highlighted the county’s 4.5 percent unemployment rate, one of the lowest in the state. He also drew attention to the nearly 30 percent unemployment rate for people with disabilities here — about 1.5 percent of the population.

Change must come, Lovick said.

Everett and the county secured commitments from the Boeing Co. to build its 777X jetliner and

its composite wings locally, Lovick noted. But the county also lost out on a $70 million federal grant to build an advanced composites manufacturing center, located at Paine Field. Despite losing the grant, the county remains determined to attract the same type of facility to the area, he said.

To reduce recidivism rates among the homeless, the county continues to seek a $1.6 million state grant to convert the old Carnegie Library next to the jail to provide housing and social services.

Separately, Lovick touted a program to build sidewalks and crosswalks near schools in unincorporated areas. He also lauded the use of a property-

tax-funded program to buy more than a dozen land parcels last year for environmental conservation.

Not mentioned were some of the thornier political issues that have bedeviled county leaders during recent months.

That includes the troubled $162 million project to build a new downtown courthouse, which is in doubt because the county has not addressed the city of Everett’s parking concerns. An update meeting is scheduled Thursday in council chambers.

There’s also an upcoming council vote on negotiating a lease with a New York company that wants to build a commercial passenger air terminal at Paine

Field. The vote could happen as early as Monday.

The past few months also have been characterized by spats with a majority of the County Council.

The sides clashed throughout the process of drafting last year’s budget. A compromise in December averted the first countylevel budget shutdown in Washington state history.

A council majority also has challenged Lovick’s administration over trying to award pay raises to some of the county’s highest-paid administrators, without following the procedures outlined in county code.

The same bloc on the council also voted to hire a private attorney to investigate comments that Deputy

Executive Mark Ericks made about them. While the investigation identified no violations of law or county code, it did recommend taking a closer look at whether Ericks has interfered with land-use permitting decisions. Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe has requested a law enforcement investigation of those claims.

Lovick, the former county sheriff, was appointed executive in mid-2013 after the resignation of Aaron Reardon.

He won a special one-year term in office last year and is campaigning for a full four-year term.

He described chances of the bills passing in the Senate as, “Slim and none and slim left town.”

The House bills in question are the product of months of work by leaders of the two largest aerospace worker unions in Washington — International Association of Machinists Local 751 and the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace.

They and their Democratic supporters in the House contend the state gave Boeing too good a deal

when it extended those tax breaks through 2040.

While that could save the aerospace giant as much as $8.7 billion in taxes, it doesn’t prevent the firm from shipping jobs out of state.

House Bill 2147 would trim Boeing’s tax break if its statewide workforce declines much below 83,000, the number reportedly employed by them in the fall of 2013. Boeing would lose its break entirely if the total sinks below 78,000, according to

the legislation.

A second bill, HB 1786, targets aerospace suppliers by setting an industry-wide wage standard. As written, it requires aerospace companies to pay employees a minimum wage of just under $20 in order to be eligible to receive a tax break.

Both bills are awaiting action in the House Finance Committee.

Rep. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, the panel’s chairman, told executives Wednesday that

he’ll conduct hearings on each.

While he thinks the language in the 2013 law is strong enough to hold Boeing accountable for its promises, it’s not “unreasonable” for the unions to want to revisit the terms, given what’s transpired, he said.

The hearings will provide an opportunity for an “authentic conversation” on that “social contract” between taxpayers, companies and their workers, Carlyle said. “It doesn’t

mean we’re going in and changing the terms of the deal.”

Wednesday’s event drew one of the larger turnouts of aerospace supplier representatives.

Linda Lanham, the group’s president and executive director, said it demonstrated the high level concern about the potential effect of the bills.

“It irritates me no end that this is going on,” she said.

IN OUR VIEW | 2015 Legislature

Approve WSU medical school The need for more doctors, especially primary care physicians, and to have more of them living and working outside the state’s major urban areas, is clear.

What has been debated recently was whether it was best to have the University of Washington’s medical school, which since 1917 has had the exclusive charter under state law, to expand its enrollment or for Washington State University to be allowed to launch its own medical school in Spokane.

In Washington, 18 of our 39 counties are underserved, with about one doctor for every 1,000 residents. King County, on the other hand, has almost half of all doctors in the state serving about 29 percent of the state’s population. Currently, the University of Washington Medical School enrolls 120 students each year.

Another 120 are enrolled each year in a separate program that serves students from five Western states.

Two bills in the Legislature that would clear the way for a WSU medical school, House Bill 1559 and Senate Bill 5487, continue to advance and have significant and bipartisan support in both houses.

There are advantages to the approach WSU would use that warrant support for two separate medical schools in the state, rather than one larger one.

WSU plans to use a model employed in Michigan and Florida, called communitybased medical education.

Following a medical student’s first two years at WSU’s Spokane campus, third- and fourth-year students would be sent throughout the state to communities — and Everett, its University Center and facilities such as Providence and the Everett Clinic are likely candidates — to continue their educations at colleges, hospitals and clinics partnering with the university.

By placing medical students throughout the state, says

WSU Spokane Chancellor Lisa Brown, the expectation is that those students are more likely to remain in the state and in those communities as they enter residencies and beyond, and are more likely to stay in the primary care fields of medicine where the need is greatest. Florida, Brown gave as an example, has seen a retention rate of 70 percent because of its communitybased program.

Bob Drewell, chancellor for WSU’s Everett University Center, is eager to see the program brought here, because of what it could mean for increased access to medical care, particularly in the county’s more rural areas, as well as opening up more medical school slots for Snohomish County students.

While tuition at WSU’s medical school isn’t likely to be less expensive than that of UW, its students would have an advantage of a more affordable cost of living in Spokane and in the other communities

in which it is based.

Along with the authorization from the Legislature, WSU also is seeking $2.5 million in seed money in the state budget, money it would use to launch a national accreditation review of its facilities, faculty and curriculum as well as hiring a founding medical school dean.

WSU hopes to start with a class of 40 students by fall 2017, increasing to a class of 120 by 2021. WSU, with support from public and private sources, as well as tuition, would be able to meet that deadline, Brown said. Capital spending for facilities would be limited, she said, because most of the needed facilities already are in place at its various campuses.

The Legislature should allow WSU to proceed and should provide the initial funding it seeks. And early conversations should begin with communities, hospitals, clinics and private practices that could become part of its program.

the 19 oil trains in Washington state daily through our towns and cities and beside our beautiful waterways like the Columbia River. The fact we bring oil into this state to be exported overseas is where she felt money over safety was more important.

Patty will be up for reelection in 2016. You have two years to decide if the oil money is worth more than the lives of your children, your relatives, or your recreational areas along our waterways. I prefer to fry my fish in vegetable oil. Not fish for those already polluted with oil train spills. How much

of the money Murray hopes to get into the state will be needed to clean up train derailments in our waterways, or heaven forbid if they derail and destroy a small town taking many lives with it?

The government predicts that 10 trains a year will derail over the next two decades. Is this what you hope to see here in our state?

Now is the time to look for a Patty Murray replacement.

I want a person who puts the people’s safety over money.

GUEST COMMENTARY | Support for veterans

Political infighting isn’t helping veterans

By Jack Norvell

I

am on a mission. I bring this to a social network as I am able to touch many persons. I will also send this to a few newspapers to see if they will print it as a letter to the editor. If anyone believes in this mission, please join me and share the thoughts.

I have been watching the commercials on television, where a country music celebrity speaks about wounded veterans and asks for money or donations in order to help support these individuals. I am not against any organization that helps veterans, wounded, homeless, or not.

What I am against is the fact that I am not finding the answer to “why” so many veterans are in need.

I have contacted via letter and email elected officials serving in the United State Congress. I did hear back

from one senator, who did not answer my question, but wrote in a typical political response which said nothing.

I want to know why our politicians took us to war, Republican and Democrat alike. We invaded a sovereign nation, which we had never done before. We were able to support the military industrial complex building machines of destruction. The politicians lambasted anyone who would not vote for supplemental spending bills as “not supporting our troops.”

Now we are engaged in the most vicious hate-filled political campaigns I have unfortunately experienced.

Why are we not able to take this energy and begin to ask questions for the greater good? Why do we need nonprofit organizations to help our wounded veterans and their families? Why do we forget their widows, widowers

and orphans? This angers me, especially since none of the news stations or papers headline this inequity.

This my friends, is one of the greatest scars on our nation.

For all those repeating all of the political lies on both sides of the aisle, why not do something positive and ask the question without pointing fingers and saying “you did it too.” Why don’t we hold out politicians accountable for not supporting our veterans? I just heard a former big city mayor making a statement that the president does not love America. Every American should call him on this slander.

The political hatred is out of control. This mayor enjoys taking time to play politics and repeat how he was almost killed on 9/11. I believe he should be supporting and talking about persons who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I believe he should go

somewhere on Saturday or Sunday and pay attention to the “book” of religion.

In March 150 years ago, President Abraham Lincoln ended his second inaugural address with these beautiful words: “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”

May we please follow these words of Lincoln and accept the responsibility. Let no politician be reelected should they fail these brave men and women and their families.

Democrats take advantage of minority status

F

or Harry Reid and his Senate Democrats, revenge is a dish best served bold.

For years, they complained that the Republican minority had tied the chamber in knots. But now, just weeks into their stint in the minority, Democrats are brazenly using the same knot-tying procedures.

Four times, they used filibusters to block the majority from bringing up a Department of HomeDANA MILBANK land Security funding bill that would undo President Obama’s executive actions on immigration. And even after Majority Leader Mitch McConnell essentially surrendered on Monday — splitting the immigration proposal from the funding bill — Democrats continued grandstanding gleefully on Tuesday, confident that if parts of the Homeland Security department shut down in the coming days Republicans will be to blame.

And so Reid led about 30 Senate Democrats and a couple of uniformed firefighter chiefs into a basement room in the Capitol complex Tuesday afternoon for a pep rally daring Republicans to let funding run out for DHS and essentially declaring the GOP majority soft on terrorism. “With terrorists threatening to attack America, we must fund Homeland Security and fund it now,” said Reid.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire asked of the Republicans: “Are they going to prioritize politics? Or are they going to prioritize national security?”

All of this must make McConnell wonder why he wanted so much to become majority leader. The Kentucky Republican is making a good-faith effort to keep his promise not to have a shutdown.

But he is finding out that the Senate is just as ungovernable under his Republican control as it was under the previous management.

For his troubles, McConnell is the target of carping by conservatives and is so far receiving no assistance from House Speaker John Boehner. He’s also an easy mark for mischief-making Democrats, who are enjoying the advantage Republicans had for years: It’s easier to stop things from happening than to make them happen.

On the Senate floor Tuesday morning, McConnell described his proposed surrender. “My preference remains with the legislation that’s already passed the House,” he said, referring to the plan to make homeland-security funding conditional on the demise of Obama’s immigration actions. But “I’m ready to try another way. I hope our friends across the aisle will demonstrate similar flexibility.”

In a news conference in the afternoon, he further unfurled the white flag. “I’ve indicated to the Democratic leader that I’d be happy to have his cooperation to advance the consideration of a clean DHS bill which would carry us through to September 30th,” he said. Even before a vote on the now-decoupled proposal to eliminate Obama’s immigration plan? “I would be happy to do that,” McConnell said, asking for “cooperation from the Democrats in going forward to pass what they have said for two months they wanted to pass.”

His problem is Democrats don’t have a lot of incentive to take yes for an answer just yet. McConnell’s decision to split the immigration legislation from the funding has fired up conservatives such as Rep. Steve King of Iowa, who tweeted that Obama would simply veto the immigration piece, asking, “Think we were born yesterday?” Some House conservatives have even urged McConnell to abolish the filibuster in order to pass legislation tying the immigration proposals to DHS funding — an incendiary but pointless gesture because Obama would veto the bill even if it passed.

If and when Democrats finally do accept the terms of McConnell’s surrender, the conservatives’ wrath will turn against Boehner, who will have little choice but to go along with the concession or to be blamed for the shutdown.

Democrats on Tuesday acted as if they would rather enjoy the political benefits a shutdown would bring them. “It appears to me that the ideologues are still running the Republican Party,” Reid taunted, listing various conservative voices that have warned against a shutdown. “The burden is on the Republicans. What they’re doing is wrong for the country. And they not only will be blamed, they should be blamed.”

Power without responsibility: Such are the perverse pleasures of being in the minority in today’s Washington.

Police: Pasco man wasn’t shot in back

By Nicholas K. Geranios Associated Press

KENNEWICK — The three officers involved in the death of an unarmed Mexican man in Pasco fired 17 shots, including several that struck the former orchard worker but none that hit him in the back, a task force spokesman said Wednesday.

The regional law enforcement task force is investigating the Feb. 10 killing of Antonio ZambranoMontes, which has led to weeks of protests and calls for a federal probe.

Kennewick police Sgt. Ken Lattin, a spokesman for the task force, said at a news conference that five or six bullets struck Zambrano-Montes. However, he said autopsy results were pending, and he couldn’t be more specific about where the 35-yearold was shot.

“There were no shots in the back,” Lattin said.

Video taken by a witness shows Zambrano-Montes running from officers. As the officers draw closer, he stops, turns and faced them. Multiple “pops” are heard, and then he falls to the ground.

Lattin said officers fired stun guns at least twice but failed to stop Zambrano-Montes before firing their weapons.

Zambrano-Montes was shot to death around 5 p.m. at a busy intersection in Pasco. His death has sparked two weeks of protests in this majority-Hispanic agricultural city along the Columbia River in the southeastern part of the state.

Authorities say the Mexican immigrant was throwing rocks at passing vehicles and later at responding officers. The Franklin County coroner has ordered an inquest into the death.

Federal authorities have said they are monitoring the local investigation. Lattin said it will be thorough and fair.

“We’re not here to cover up for anybody,” he told reporters.

Lattin said a rock was found next to Zambrano-Montes’ body, but no gun or knife.

Critics of the shooting continued to call for a federal investigation. The American Civil Liberties Union also has asked the federal government to intervene.

Felix Vargas, a Hispanic leader

from Pasco, said he met with a federal official last weekend and had a meeting scheduled for later Wednesday with U.S. Attorney Michael Ormsby of Spokane to discuss the case. That meeting was closed to reporters, he said.

Charles Herrmann, an attorney representing Zambrano-Montes’ estranged wife and two teenage daughters, said it is difficult for neighboring police officers to investigate their colleagues.

“I do not think these authorities can conduct a truly impartial investigation of their brother officers,” Herrmann said. He also doubted that Franklin County Prosecutor Shawn Sant was inclined to bring charges against the officers involved.

“The Zambranos are going to have their day in court,” Herrmann predicted.

He said the widow, Teresa De Jesus Meraz-Ruiz, who lives in California, was “devastated” by the shooting. The couple has reportedly been estranged since 2006.

Meanwhile, Lattin said the special investigations unit, made up off officers from four neighboring cities, was awaiting final

toxicology and other lab reports before sending its final report to the prosecutor. He predicted that would take several more weeks.

Sant said it would take about 60 days after the report is finished to begin the coroner’s inquest.

The contents of the report will be released during the inquest, but not before, he said.

The family also commissioned its own autopsy.

Lattin said the three officers would not be interviewed until all the other preliminary work of the investigation is completed.

Officers continue to seek details of Zambrano-Montes’ whereabouts in the two weeks before the shooting. His home had recently burned and he had stayed for a time in a homeless shelter, but no one has yet been able to account for his actions in the two weeks prior to his death, Lattin said.

Officers want to know if he was suffering from mental health issues, drug use or an injury, Lattin said.

Lattin said this would be the last of his weekly briefings to the news media because officials did not want to contaminate future jury pools.

The killing was the fourth by police in less than a year for fastgrowing Pasco.

Officers were exonerated after similar investigations in the first three cases. Critics of the latest case say the officers should have used less than lethal force to capture Zambrano-Montes.

House bill regulating police body cameras spurs debate

By Derrick Nunnally Associated Press

OLYMPIA — Public outrage over police shootings in cities from Pasco to Ferguson, Missouri, inspired Rep. Drew Hansen to propose rules for how police departments in Washington state can outfit officers with cameras.

The aim of his bill, he said, is to help police embrace making video records of how they, and

the people they interact with, behave.

“Body cameras don’t solve all the world’s problems,” said Hansen, D-Bainbridge Island, “but they can reveal the truth, and that’s something we can really use.”

With the backing of law enforcement, his body camera bill passed a House committee with bipartisan support and could come up for a vote in the House in the coming weeks.

A debate is brewing over its potential effects. Police and prosecutors say the bill offers a solid framework for the videos to become a new kind of public record while accounting for privacy concerns and the cost of accessibility.

“Our goal is to remove barriers that have been identified by our agencies as to why they’re not wearing body-worn cameras,” James McMahan, policy director of the Washington Association

of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, told the House Judiciary Committee.

Open records advocates and civil liberties watchdogs say the proposal expands police surveillance powers while hiding results from public view. They preferred a competing bill, which would have limited use of the videos to police accountability purposes, but that bill died in committee.

Now Hansen’s bill is before the House Rules Committee and drawing increased scrutiny.

“The whole idea that every video, every recording of any kind, audio or video, that is taken by law enforcement or corrections officers in the course of their duties is exempt from disclosure is insane,” said Toby Nixon, president of the Washington Coalition for Open Government and a former state legislator. “It simply eliminates many mechanisms for holding the police accountable See CAMERAS, Page B2

Oregon wolves up; livestock attacks down

By Jeff Barnard Associated Press

NATALIE BEHRING / THE COLUMBIAN

Clark County residents gather in a public hearing room Tuesday night in Vancouver to talk about whether the motto, “In God we trust,” should be displayed in a public hearing room. The Clark County Council voted 2-1 in favor Wednesday.

Motto display wins approval Associated Press VANCOUVER — The Clark County Council voted to display the words “In God we trust” on the wall of the public hearing room in Vancouver.

The Columbian reported the 2-1 vote followed weeks of debate

and four hours of public comment Tuesday night from an overflow crowd.

About 80 people spoke, almost evenly split between those for and against posting the national motto on a wall of the chamber.

Supporters holding signs that

read “In God We Trust,” shouted “Amen,” “Praise Jesus” and “Hallelujah.”

Opponents raised signs reading “E Pluribus Unum” and “Stop divisive distractions.”

The “In God we trust” motion had failed at a meeting two weeks earlier for lack of a second.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. — An annual report finds that wolves continued to grow in numbers and spread across Oregon in 2014, while livestock-attack cases were down.

The report released Tuesday by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will be a key document as the state Fish and Wildlife Commission considers taking wolves off the state endangered species list in coming months.

Biologists found 77 wolves, compared with 64 last year. For the first time, there is a pack in the southern Cascades, as well as another pair of wolves.

Wallowa County rancher Todd Nash, chairman of the Oregon Cattlemen’s Association wolf committee, said the report “bodes well” for delisting, showing wolves continue to thrive.

While acknowledging that preventative measures for reducing wolf attacks on livestock were working, he felt that wolves in counties with intensive prevention efforts were moving to other locations, such as Baker County and remote national forest grazing allotments. He added that ranchers were noticing more

missing cattle, and there were likely many more than the census documented because of the difficulty of finding every wolf.

Steve Pedery of the conservation group Oregon Wild says a slow rate of population growth should give the commission reason to move slowly on delisting.

“You’ll struggle to find a credible scientist willing to say a couple dozen wolves in the northeast corner of the state is a real recovery,” Pedery said in a statement. “ODFW must resist giving into political pressure, declare mission accomplished, and turn their back on important protections for wolves that have gotten this far.”

The federal government has lifted wolf protections in the eastern third of the state, and it has proposed lifting them in the western two-thirds of the state.

The number of wolves in Oregon has been steadily growing since the first pack was documented in 2009. They are descended from wolves reintroduced into the Northern Rockies in the 1990s. Until then, the last known wolf in Oregon was shot in 1946 by a bounty hunter in the Rogue-Umpqua Divide area of the southern Cascades.

Great white shark cruising close to Washington coast Associated Press OCEAN SHORES — A great white shark about 18-feet long is believed to be swimming off the Washington coast and feeding on harbor seals close to shore, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said.

The evidence is a seal that was found Thursday on a beach near Ocean Shores, neatly bitten

in half.

A necropsy was performed by the department in consultation with a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shark expert in California.

They determined Tuesday the likely predator was a great white shark. Judging by the spacing of the bite marks it is about 18 feet long, said spokesman Craig Bartlett.

The seal found last week with its hindquarters missing was a female that weighed more than 200 pounds.

Its stomach was filled with smelt, indicating she had been recently attacked close to shore.

Great white sharks appear off the Washington coast, as they do elsewhere around the world, Bartlett said. Marine mammals

are a staple of their diet.

The big sharks usually don’t come close to shore, but this one may have followed a warm current, Bartlett said.

Only two shark attacks on humans have been documented in Washington — one in the 1830s and one in 1989. The attacks weren’t fatal, Bartlett said.

As a precaution the department has notified other

agencies of the presence of the great white shark, including the Coast Guard, state parks, and local governments and tribes on the coast.

Another seal found dead near Ocean Shores on Saturday also was examined, but it was determined it likely died as a result of being entangled in a fishing net, Bartlett said. It did not have bite marks.

Cameras From Page B1

and for finding that people are not guilty of the crimes they’ve been accused of.”

Seattle and a handful of other Washington cities have begun pilot programs with cameraequipped police officers, and the state is among at least 30 with pending bills to regulate police body cameras.

The bill in Olympia would give access to police recordings — including body cameras, dashboard cameras and building surveillance — only to people involved with a recorded incident or those granted a court order after a judge holds a hearing to weigh privacy concerns against the public interest. Anyone pictured in the video would have to be found and notified of its potential release.

The bill would also empower judges to allow police to listen in on other people’s conversations surreptitiously, which state law currently forbids. And it would create a task force of members from citizen and government groups to study through November how police camera use is going.

Cowlitz County Superior Court Judge Stephen Warning, a member of the state Association of Superior Court Judges, said judges are studying the bill closely. He identified two areas of potential concern: the possible burden on the court system from having to hold a hearing over each requested video, and the potential expansion of Washington’s longstanding wiretap restrictions.

“I think it’s one of those things where the technology is outpacing, at least, what we’re familiar with,” Warning said.

Other observers have also asked that there be no rush to make a law. The Seattle Community Police Commission this month urged leaders in city and state governments to fully examine concerns about police and community members’ privacy before writing new laws and ramping up police camera use.

Hansen said his bill will get police to wear cameras while the task force works to refine the policy. “Without a sensible framework, there will be no cameras and no transparency,” he said.

Nixon would like the rest of the bill shelved until the panel — which includes a place for his group — has a chance to make a complete study of the issue.

“Those temporary rules have a real tendency to stay permanent.”

Wolves From Page B1

Oregon now has nine packs, with eight of them producing pups. Among them is the Rogue pack in the southern Cascades, with the famous wandering wolf OR-7 at its head. He and his mate had three pups survive to the end of the year.

Another pair has established itself in nearby territory to the south. He and his pack have not been blamed for a livestock attack. The report said GPS tracking collar data showed 82 percent of his 355-square-mile territory is on public lands.

The Imnaha pack, Oregon’s first, has a new alpha female, who did not produce pups this year.

Four of the nine confirmed packs attacked livestock in 2014, the report said. They were the Imnaha, Mt. Emily, Umatilla River and Meacham packs, as well as a group of wolves in the Chesnimnus area. There were 11 confirmed cases of

wolf attacks on livestock, down from 13 in 2013.

The number of livestock lost was up sharply, due to a rise in sheep deaths. Three cattle were confirmed killed, and 30 sheep, compared with six sheep and five cattle in 2013. Most attacks came in spring and fall.

The state wolf compensation fund paid $8,482 for dead livestock, the bulk of it in

Wallowa County, and $33,878 for missing livestock, with more than half of that in Baker County. A total of $105,500 was spent on prevention in seven counties, with the bulk of it going to Wallowa and Umatilla counties.

Public interest was also up.

The department’s webpage got 193,020 views, up about 21,000 from 2013.

A female wolf from the Minam pack outside La Grande, Oregon, wears a tracking collar March 13, 2014.

PORTLAND, Ore. — Police said a man who fired at officers during a foot chase shot and killed himself early Wednesday after he was cornered in the back yard of a home in Portland.

The man had run off Tuesday night when officers attempted to contact him as he left a southeast Portland strip club. They said he fired a shot during a foot chase. No officers were hit.

The man was spotted on the ground in a back yard. When

officers tried to talk they heard a gunshot and found that he had shot himself.

Officials told The Oregonian that the 26-year-old man escaped from a halfway house last month after serving time at the federal prison in Sheridan.

The Mariners gave major league home run champion Nelson Cruz a four-year, $57-million deal in hopes of upgrading their lineup

By Bob Dutton The News Tribune

PEORIA, Ariz. — Nelson Cruz donned a Batman T-shirt Wednesday after completing his first official workout as a Seattle Mariner. This isn’t Fellini. The message is easily grasped.

The Mariners are doling out $57 million to Cruz over the next four years because he can hit: He led the majors last season with 40 home runs while playing at Baltimore and finished with a .525 slugging percentage.

Point to note: Robinson Cano and Kyle Seager led the Mariners last season with a .454 slugging percentage. Current plans call for them to bracket Cruz in this year’s lineup.

And while, yes, Oriole Park at Camden Yards is, as often noted,

BOOM New M’s DH Nelson Cruz isn’t concerned about hitting home runs at spacious Safeco Field

far more hitter-friendly than Safeco Field ... let’s just say Cruz isn’t concerned.

“I don’t pay attention to that stuff,” he said. “All I can do is what I can do. When the day comes, whatever happens will happen. I try to hit line drives. If it goes out, it goes out. That’s my

approach.”

This is a player, after all, who uses @NCBoomstick23 as his Twitter handle. The Mariners don’t appear to be concerned either.

“I’ve heard the critics say, ‘Well, he won’t hit home runs in Safeco,’” manager Lloyd

McClendon said. “He didn’t have any problem hitting them last year ... he made it look real small last year.”

Cruz hit one of the year’s more impressive homers at Safeco — a booming low laser to left field last July against Felix Hernandez.

The ball got out in a hurry, and Cruz now smiles at the memory.

“I like to face the best,” he said, “and (Hernandez) is one of the best. Every time I got ready to face him, it was a special day. I got pumped up and ready to go.

And I’m glad I don’t have to do that anymore.”

Cano pushed the Mariners to sign Cruz, who turns 35 on July 1. The two grew close prior to the 2013 season as teammates on the Dominican Republic club that won the World Baseball Classic.

“I know what kind of guy he is,” Cano said. “I’ve known him for a long time. He’s going to like it here. He’s a great guy. He likes to See CRUZ, Page C3

I’ve heard critics say, ‘Well, he won’t hit home runs in Safeco.’ He didn’t have any problem hitting them last year ... he made it look real small ...

SPOKANE — The Everett Silvertips missed an opportunity to build their lead Wednesday night.

Everett couldn’t take advantage of its nearest rival losing, falling 3-1 to the Spokane Chiefs.

Everett, playing a reeling Spokane team that had lost three straight, could have stretched its lead to four points atop the WHL’s U.S. Division as Portland fell to Calgary 5-4 in overtime.

Instead, the loss means the Tips’ lead is down to two points over the Winterhawks, who continue to close the gap. Both teams have 11 games remaining.

On Wednesday Everett led 1-0 late in the second period. However, Spokane scored the tying goal in the final seconds of the second. Then the Chiefs dominated the third period, outshooting the Nikita Tips 18-5 as Ever- Scherbak ett hindered its chances by taking penalties.

Calder Brooks had two goals and an assist to lead Spokane (28-27-3-1), which snapped a three-game losing streak. Adam Helewka added an empty-netter with 2.4 seconds remaining, while Garret Hughson earned the win in goal with 23 saves.

Nikita Scherbak scored the lone goal for Everett (36-18-3-4).

Austin Lotz made 30 saves in net for the Tips.

Final look at Mat Classic XXVII...

Darrington’s McKenzie exacts revenge

By Brian Adamowsky Herald Writer

TACOMA — Darrington junior Mason McKenzie earned his second Class 2B/1B state championship in as many years at 220 pounds on Saturday at the Tacoma Dome, exacting some revenge on Toledo’s Dalton Yoder, who defeated McKenzie 3-1 in the regional final.

McKenzie won 11-5 on Saturday, and credits time spent with Burke Barnes’ Pin City Wrestling Club in Lake Stevens with allowing him to sharpen his skills against the best wrestlers in the region.

“I wrestled Greco and freestyle with them, and I wrestled against the guys who were the 4A and 3A runners-up here with them,” McKenzie said. “I wouldn’t be

where I am if I didn’t go there.”

McKenzie said wrestling Yoder previously helped him on Saturday, as did studying video of the regional final.

McKenzie will go for a third title in four years as a senior in 2015-16.

Class 4A Late fireworks for Fairhurst In pulling out a late 4-2 decision over Evergreen Vancouver’s Dallas Goodpaster in the 220-pound final, Snohomish’s Alex Fairhurst became the first Panther state champion since Sam Ottow and Stefan St. Marie both accomplished the feat in 2009.

KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD

LOS ANGELES — Undermanned and undersized, the Washington Huskies men’s basketball team visited Pauley Pavilion on Wednesday night with little chance of defeating the UCLA Bruins.

And they played like it.

The Huskies trailed by doubledigits for the final 35 minutes of this embarrassing game, an 88-66 throttling before a crowd of 7,841 that essentially zapped UW of any positive feelings it may have experienced after Sunday night’s victory at Washington State.

That win snapped a sevengame losing streak, and the Huskies hoped it might vault them toward more encouraging play this week.

It did not.

Instead, with 6-foot-9 senior forward Shawn Kemp Jr. sitting out due to a concussion, the Huskies (15-12, 4-11 in Pac-12) were steamrolled by a team with superior talent, size and athleticism.

hey call it the “Iron Man Derby,” because of its exposed location and the often-lousy weather conditions in late February. The Olympic Peninsula salmon Derby can be a witch indeed, and last year’s event was a perfect example, with gale warnings flying, waves crashing, and fishermen thrashing. Wind gusts were pushing 40 to 50 mph and pummeling derby participants mercilessly.

The 2014 event drew 600 participants and many — obviously the more intelligent ones — didn’t even bother to put a boat in the water. The deluded souls who did go out, however, managed to scratch up 171 hatchery chinook, and no one had to call the Coast Guard.

You didn’t need brass, let alone iron, to fish the 2015 derby last Friday-Saturday-Sunday, because beautiful weather and flat water prevailed all three days. That and good fishing reports brought out 860 entrants, according to derby chairman Dan Tatum, the best ticket sales since 2003.

And the crowd found fish.

Some 292 hatchery winter blackmouth over 6 pounds were submitted, which is an all-time derby record, Tatum said, handily beating the previous 249-fish mark.

For the second year in a row, mainland anglers showed the Kitsap Peninsula regulars how the boar went through the buckwheat, when Mount Vernon resident Jerry Thomas (who also won the 2013 event) walked away with the $10,000 first-place prize for his chinook weighing just a shade under 19 pounds.

Another Mount Vernon fisherman, Larry Quesnell, won last year’s event as well, with a fish of 15.4 pounds.

In second place last weekend, worth $2,000, was Julia Hunter of Neah Bay, at 16.6 pounds, and

PICK OF THE WEEK | La Conner Smelt Derby Festival

Outdoor calendar

The 50th annual Smelt Derby Festival is scheduled for Saturday in La Conner and while smelt dipping on the Swinomish Channel isn’t what it once was, the town is worth the trip and the event is still a lot of fun. Jigs are cheap and available at most tackle shops, and no license is required. So grab a light rod and reel, dress warmly, and have at it.

There are public docks along the channel in La Conner, but jigging is often better in the marina, on the north side of town — if you can find public access there.

Start with a pancake breakfast

■ A meeting of the North Snohomish County chapter of the Coastal Conservation Association (CCA) is scheduled for 7 p.m. on March 10 at Bayside Marine in Everett (1111 Craftsman Way). The speaker will be Frank Urabeck, who will be discussing Lake Washington and Baker Lake sockeye salmon problems. The public is welcome. For more information, call Ralph at 360-653-3894.

Items for the Outdoor calendar can be submitted by e-mail (sports@heraldnet.com), by fax (425-3393435) or by mail (P.O. Box 930, Everett, Wash.). The deadline is noon Monday.

third, worth $1,000, went to Ron Lampers of Snohomish. Lampers took fifth and 15th in last year’s derby.

Among other local anglers, Bob Edwards of Marysville placed eighth with a blackmouth of 14.2 pounds.

Despite over 500 square miles of water available to derby participants, the first-place chinook was taken off Diamond Point, at the mouth of Discovery Bay, only two miles from the derby headquarters in Gardiner. Tatum said the most productive general area, in fact, was the traditional derby hub — Discovery Bay and Protection Island.

We lost a friend Jim Brauch, a major player in the Snohomish County sportfishing community, died Feb. 18 of a rare and fast-moving form of cancer, according to wife Bonnie. A dedicated community activist, Brauch influenced the lives of hundreds of young people in the area through his fishing classes and clinics, and the kids’ fish-ins he coordinated over the years for the Everett Steelhead and Salmon Club and other groups.

Those events will be continued by the club, said ESSC board member Woody Woods, but “It will be tough, trying to fill Jim’s shoes.”

In addition to trout, Brauch fished salmon, here and on the B.C. coast, plus steelhead and other gamefish species, and reported on his adventures in The Reel News, a fishing tabloid published in Lake Stevens.

He was arguably one of the best trout fishermen in the area, hitting

local lakes such as Goodwin and McMurray at every opportunity, but it was the young people and their introduction to fishing, the outdoors and conservation that was his passion. He desperately wanted every kid who attended one of his dozens of fish-ins to catch a trout.

A Marine Corps veteran of Viet Nam and a retired Everett Police officer, Brauch had planned a trip with his brother to Asia to see some of the places where he had served, and to end the journey with — what else?

— a guided fishing trip in Thailand.

Cancer caught up with him in Viet Nam, resulting in flights to Saigon, Los Angeles, Ronald Reagan Hospital at UCLA, Providence and Swedish. The disease, Bonnie Brauch said, was too far along to successfully treat at any of those stops.

The young people of the area and the sportfishing community have lost a true champion.

Steelhead This odd winter has been a boon to steelhead anglers, according to Bob Gooding at Olympic Sporting Goods in Forks, if for no other reason than that there have been fewer extreme river levels — too high and dirty, or too low and clear. “This has been a pretty decent season,” Gooding said, “including the wild-stock fishery going on right now.”

Certain of the Olympic Peninsula rivers are the only ones left in the state where regulations allow retention of one unclipped steelhead per season per person.

The Sol Duc and Hoh are the top two streams currently, and Gooding said March is traditionally the best late-season month. He said the Calawah is currently too low to float, and the Bogachiel does not host a large wild-stock run.

State Fish and Wildlife Department creel checks on the Calawah for Feb. 16-19 show eight bank and six boat anglers with 15 wild steelhead released and three hatchery fish kept. On the Sol Duc it was 24 bank and 43 boat anglers with four wild fish kept and 35 wild fish

North of Falcon Anyone interested in Washington state salmon fisheries can get a preview of this year’s returns and potential fishing seasons during a public meeting March 2 in Olympia.

The WDFW will present initial forecasts for 2015 runs to kick off the annual salmon season-setting process known as “North of Falcon.”

The meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in room 172 of the Natural Resources Building, 1111 Washington St., S.E., in Olympia.

The agency has also scheduled additional public meetings including, usually, one at the Mill Creek office, focusing on regional salmon issues through early April. A schedule of meetings and more information about the season-setting process for Puget Sound, the Columbia River, and the coast is available on the website http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/ northfaalcon/.

Springers Nice weather last week brought an increase in the number of anglers looking for spring chinook from I-5 to the mouth of the Columbia, according to Joe Hymer, WDFW biologist at Vancouver, but the catch remained very light.

On the Cowlitz over the weekend, eight boat fishermen kept four winter steelhead.

Kyle Busch Mavs suspend Rondo for one game after exchange with Carlisle transferred Associated Press ATLANTA — The Dallas Mavericks suspended Rajon Rondo for their game Wednesday night in Atlanta for conduct detrimental to the team, a day after the point guard had a heated exchange on the court with coach Rick Carlisle and was benched.

Carlisle said he must communicate better with Rondo.

“The incident last night was born in large part from poor communication between him and I,” Carlisle said Wednesday. “That’s on both of us. We had a long talk about the situation today and we both agreed we need to communicate more frequently and we need to work on the solution of making his stint as a Dallas Maverick the most successful one possible.”

Rondo came out with 8:10 left in the third quarter of Dallas’ 99-92 home victory over Toronto. He was bringing the ball up the court when Carlisle angrily shouted for a timeout and exchanged words with Rondo from several feet away as the player headed to the bench.

The Mavericks were trailing by nine when Rondo was pulled and rallied with backups Devin Harris and J.J. Barea running the offense along with leading scorer Monta Ellis, who sometimes handles the ball.

Carlisle said Rondo will return as a starter for the Mavericks’ next game against Brooklyn on Saturday.

“It’s one game. He’ll serve it tonight,” Carlisle said. “We’ll be off tomorrow. He’ll practice Friday and he’ll be back in the starting lineup on Saturday. The events of last night are

Dallas guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended by the team for one game after a heated exchange on the court with coach Rick Carlisle on Wednesday night in Atlanta.

now in the past and we’ve got to move forward.

“I need to say this very clearly: He’s an extremely important part of our team.

Our efforts to get to the highest possible level largely hinge on ... playing well with him. He needs to play well with us and we need to play well with him.

It’s a two-way street.”

Carlisle said the suspension was “an organizational decision.”

The suspension left the Mavericks with only 11 players against the Hawks. Center Tyson Chandler was held out with a hip contusion and forward Amare Stoudemire was rested with the team playing on back-to-back days. Forward Chandler Parsons was held out with a left ankle injury.

Acquired in a trade with Boston in December to try to improve the playoff outlook for the Mavericks in the difficult Western Conference, Rondo

hasn’t had an easy transition.

The four-time All-Star who won a title with the Celtics in 2008 was on the bench in the final minutes of a four-point loss to Chicago about a month after the trade and said afterward he didn’t have a problem with Carlisle’s decision. Dallas’ offense has sunk from the top of the league to fourth in points per game since he arrived.

“For us to get where we want to get ... his abilities have to be utilized by us the best possible way,” Carlisle said. “That’s in large part my responsibility and I do not dodge that. And a lot of that starts with great communication with him. I’m always working on being a better communicator and we talked about it today. He admitted that he’s got to do the same. So that’s where we are and we’ll go forward from here.”

Bulls move on minus Rose CHICAGO — The news that Derrick Rose will have knee surgery again hit the Chicago Bulls and their fans hard and left them in a familiar spot — trying to get by without their star point guard.

The torn meniscus in his right knee was announced Tuesday night, another tough twist for a franchise, a star, his sponsors and a fanbase that thought the Bulls were entering another golden era just a few years ago, with the Chicago product leading the renaissance.

Instead, he’s having surgery on his right knee for the second straight year — on the heels of a season he missed entirely following a torn left ACL. “It’s so unfair,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. “The guy’s been through so much. Any time you have surgery, it’s tough. This will hopefully be much, much shorter than the other one. But the big thing is our concern for him first as a person.”

to hospital in Charlotte area Herald news services

Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch remains hospitalized but has been transferred to a Charlotte-area hospital for continued treatment for his injuries suffered last weekend at Daytona International Speedway.

Busch had surgery in Daytona Beach, Fla., Saturday night for a compound fracture in his right leg.

Now that he has returned to Charlotte, he will begin treatment for a mid-foot fracture in his left foot.

He suffered the injuries in Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series season opener at Daytona when his No. 54 Toyota got caught up in a multicar wreck and plowed nose-first into an interior retaining wall that was not covered by energy-absorbing SAFER barriers.

“We appreciate all the support we have received from the NASCAR community including our fans and we look forward to getting Kyle back in the car as soon as possible,” said Joe Gibbs Racing team owner Joe Gibbs.

Tuesday night, JGR named David Ragan as Busch’s replacement in the No. 18 Toyota in the Cup series for the “next several weeks.”

Alonso leaves hospital PARIS — McLaren driver Fernando Alonso left hospital Wednesday following a crash in Formula One testing as the sport’s governing body FIA launched an investigation into the accident.

The Spanish driver escaped serious injury but was flown to hospital for precautionary checks after his McLaren hit a wall at the BarcelonaCatalunya circuit on Sunday.

Will M’s platoon in left field?

New-look for Weeks Weeks also sported a new look for his new club: No dreadlocks.

“Personal preference, I guess,” he said. “I got them cut off about two months ago. I was at home. The past couple of years, I’ve been going back and forth on cutting it off.

“I had it since 2008. Just one of those things.”

Weeks said the decision had nothing to do with heading to another club after 12 seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers.

“No reason,” he said. “Pretty much (just got tired of them).”

Ruggiano in center Newcomer Justin Ruggiano is in line for spot duty in center field in addition to sharing time with Seth Smith, another newcomer, in right.

“Rudge will see some time in center field,” McClendon said. “I think one of the things I have to be very cognizant of is making sure I give Austin Jackson the proper amount of rest.

“He will get his rest, and Rudge will get some time in center field.”

Ruggiano has made 145 of his 272 career defensive starts as a center fielder. He has 71 career starts in left field and 56 career starts in right field.

Keynote address The Mariners, like all clubs, held an extended general meeting prior to the start of full-squad workouts.

McClendon addressed the high expectations being placed on this year’s club.

“Expectations are very high — and that’s OK,” he said. “I understand it. We can’t get caught up in expectations. We’ve got to get prepared and get ready for the grind of a 162-game schedule. And it starts today.

“If you want to be a champion, it doesn’t start in April. It starts in February. I think they’ll be up for the task.”

compete. He’s a great guy.

That’s what you want on your team.”

Cruz played for postseason clubs in four of the last five seasons and chose to sign with the Mariners, in part, because he liked the possibility of continuing that run.

“It’s everything,” he said.

“That’s what I work for. All season, everything I do is with that mindset — go to the playoffs. Be ready for that situation.”

Cruz came within one pitch of a World Series title in 2011 while playing for Texas. That near-miss still rankles.

“Oh, no doubt,” he said.

“I carry that with me. I want to win. Until I get that done, it’s going to be there. Once you’re there, you want to be there every year.

The Red Sox’s David Ortiz is not happy with some of the new rules baseball plans to implement this season.

The Red Sox’s David Ortiz on pace-of-play fines: ‘I might run out of money’

By Dave Campbell Associated Press

FORT MYERS, Fla. — David Ortiz has a deliberate routine at the plate.

He sounded prepared to pay for it.

“I might run out of money,” Ortiz said during a colorful rant Wednesday about the new paceof-play rule requiring hitters to keep at least one foot in the batter’s box in some instances.

Ortiz said he felt this provision, announced last week, unfairly targeted hitters. One of the more radical alterations discussed, a limit on the number of seconds between pitches, was not implemented.

“I’m not going to change my game,” the Boston designated hitter said. “I don’t care what they say.”

Major League Baseball can dock him, starting May 1, up to $500 per offense. Penalties were limited to warnings and fines, rather than allowing umpires to call strikes.

Another part of the initiative agreed to by MLB and the players’ association will be the installation of clocks in stadiums to limit the length of pitching changes and between-innings breaks. Managers, too, are no longer required to leave the dugout to request video reviews.

In his first remarks to reporters since arriving at spring training, Ortiz said he wasn’t aware of the batter’s box rule.

“So after the pitch, you’ve got to stay in the box, basically?” he said, incredulously.

decision to come here and be part of this.”

Cruz joins the Mariners more than a year removed from a 50-game suspension stemming from his 2013 involvement in the Biogenesis drug scandal.

That incident raised doubts a year ago when Cruz hit the free-agent market, although the Mariners showed strong interest before backing away. Cruz eventually signed a oneyear deal with the Orioles for $8 million.

Forty homers, steroidsfree, eased those concerns.

Yes, with one foot, unless there has just been a foul ball, wild pitch or other specified reason.

“One foot?” Ortiz said.

Yes, to speed up the game.

Ortiz then used a profanity to describe his reaction to the rule.

“When you come out of the box, you’re thinking about what a guy’s trying to do,” he continued.

“This is not like we go to the plate with an empty mind. No, no, no.

When you see guys pitch coming out of the box, we’re not doing it just for doing it. Our mind is speeding up. I saw one pitch, when I come out, I’m thinking, ‘What is this guy going to try to do to me next?’ I’m not walking around just because there’s cameras all over the place and I want my buddies back home to see me and this and that.”

Ortiz blamed pitchers for wasting more time than hitters.

“How about the guy on the mound who goes like this for three hours?” he said, shaking his head back and forth to mimic the act of shaking off a sign.

Toronto’s R.A. Dickey, one of the faster-working pitchers in the major leagues, said he loved the new rules.

“Bring on the pitch clock.

Bring on whatever. I like it, because it makes the hitter feel uncomfortable,” the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner said. “I’m already fast, so it’s only going to put more pressure on the hitter that has to get in the box and get ready before his routine. If you’ve got some guys who have a very deliberate routine — (Robinson) Cano and Ortiz and

“It is what it is,” Cruz said.

“I’m here. My main goal right now is to play baseball. Last year was kind of easy. The year before was the tough one. I guess every year is easier.

“I think, in the long run, it helped me to know what to do and what to expect. It helped me also to be a better player.”

Whatever Cruz gives the Mariners, it figures to be better than what they received last year from their combined cleanup hitters: 19 homers, 75 RBI and a .218 average.

others that have a very deliberate routine ... they’re going to have to speed up a little bit and that may take just this much out of their game. You know, that could be a enough to get a pop out instead of a home run sometimes. I’m great with it.”

Manager John Farrell stressed the importance of letting the new rules play out for a season.

“Anytime a game is played a certain way for as many years as it has, an adjustment is going to have some growing pains associated to it,” Farrell said. “But I think as long as everyone is aware of what the attention is and what we’re trying to get to, maybe those growing pains become less frustrating.”

The 39-year-old Ortiz had an .873 on-base-plus-slugging percentage last season, still a robust number for almost any player in the majors but his second-lowest since joining the Red Sox in 2003. He hit 35 home runs with 104 RBI in 142 games, which is exactly what they’ve paid him to do.

Ortiz is set to make $16 million in 2015. His contract includes a $10 million club option for 2016 that could escalate to $16 million and become guaranteed, with the same provisions for 2017 based on plate appearances and passing a team physical exam.

As for how much longer he’s planning on playing?

“You guys asked the same question to Tom Brady last year,” Ortiz said, adding with a smile: “We are like the wine.

Remember that.”

TEMPE, Ariz. — Los Angeles Angels left fielder Josh Hamilton has met with Major League Baseball officials about a disciplinary issue, and the team is bracing for possible penalties.

General Manager Jerry Dipoto confirmed that Hamilton was in New York, but he declined to say what prompted league officials to summon the outfielder or when the situation might be resolved.

“I can say that Josh is going to meet with league officials in New York,” Dipoto said Wednesday afternoon. “At this point, I have no other information to offer.”

The Los Angeles Times, which first reported the meeting, learned it involved a disciplinary issue from a person with direct knowledge of the situation. Hamilton’s agent, Michael Moye, did not return several messages.

MLB spokesman Pat Courtney declined to comment.

Hamilton, 33, is entering the third year of a five-year, $125 million contract. He is recovering from surgery Feb. 4 on his right shoulder. He had not reported to spring training, and the Angels did not issue him a locker in the clubhouse at Tempe Diablo Stadium.

The Angels had allowed Hamilton to remain in Houston — at a friend’s ranch — to rehabilitate from surgery, an odd arrangement considering most players remain with their teams while recovering from injury during spring training or the regular season.

Hamilton, who is scheduled to earn $25 million this season, was projected to be the team’s cleanup or No. 5 hitter but the injury was expected to keep him out until at least May. Hamilton has a troubled past that includes a well-chronicled, four-year addiction to cocaine and alcohol. He was suspended from baseball from 2003 to 2005 but returned to develop into a feared slugger, hitting .305 and averaging 28 homers and 101 runs batted in a season for Texas from 2008-2012.

Hamilton led the Rangers to the World Series in 2010 and 2011 and won American League most valuable player honors in 2010. But he has been a bust in Anaheim, hitting .255 with 31 homers, 123 RBI and 266 strikeouts in two seasons marked by injury and underachievement.

“It’s unfortunate how his career as an Angel has started off, but hopefully there’s a strong finish in there,” said Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson, a teammate of Hamilton’s in Texas. “Every team needs its superstar players to be good, and a good Josh is a really good player.”

The Angels were counting on a bounce-back year from Hamilton to help ease the loss of Howie Kendrick, who was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in December.

Newsday reported that Hamilton’s father-in-law, Michael Chadwick, said the player had “hit a bump in the road, keep him in your prayers.”

“This guy is a good hitter,” McClendon said. “He hits home runs, but he’s a good hitter. He has the ability to drive in runs. I suspect he’s going to be just fine.”

So ... Batman, hun?

“I like the shirt,” Cruz said. “I have a few other ones. Superman and stuff like that. I think this one is my favorite. You’re going to see me with this one for quite a while.”

1256286

PEORIA, Ariz. — Are the Seattle Mariners already heading toward a platoon set-up in left field with Dustin Ackley and converted second baseman Rickie Weeks?

Manager Lloyd McClendon seemed to suggest that’s the plan Wednesday before the Mariners took part in their first full-squad workout at the Peoria Sports Complex.

First, McClendon revealed his intention to have Weeks spend most of his outfield time this spring in left field. (Weeks is also expected to draw some time in the infield at first, second and third.)

McClendon then dismissed the suggestion that signing Weeks represented the club sending a message to Ackley, who started 127 games last season in left field.

“I don’t think that was it at all,” McClendon said. “We’re trying to get better, and Rickie Weeks is a good player who can help us win ballgames.

“I think the combination of both of those guys out there should produce a left fielder where you have a combination of 20-25 home runs and 100-plus RBI. Now, you’ve got something.”

Cougars hold on to beat USC 70-66 Herald news services LOS ANGELES — Road wins have been hard to come by for Washington State this season.

It wasn’t easy, but the Cougars finally got a respite from their road woes on Wednesday night.

Dexter Kernich-Drew scored 19 points, DaVonte Lacy added 17 and Washington State held off a late rally to beat Southern California 70-66.

Josh Hawkinson added 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Cougars (12-15, 6-9 Pac-12) to tie the school’s single-season record with 17 double-doubles.

“We really, really needed to win,” KernichDrew said. “I would’ve liked to have kept a big lead but we weren’t quite

It looked as though the Tips would carry the lead into the third, but then Spokane tied it with just 17 seconds remaining in the period. Brooks tipped Evan Fiala’s point shot past Lotz, and after a video review the goal was upheld, making it 1-1.

That goal seemed to turn the tide as the Chiefs controlled the third period. Everett got into penalty trouble, and Spokane made the Tips pay at 7:09. Brooks made a nice move, then fired a shot from the slot past Lotz to give the Chiefs a 2-1 lead.

Everett wasn’t able to get any semblance of

Huskies From Page C1

UCLA (17-12, 9-7) quickly eliminated any idea that the Huskies might win this game. The Bruins made their first six field-goal attempts, including two easy baskets by forward Tony Parker and three makes by guard Norman Powell, and led 13-2 before three minutes had passed.

Those easy shots near the rim were not an aberration — UCLA had a few more of them as it jumped to a 19-5 lead, then an overwhelming 46-25 advantage at halftime. The Bruins shot 62.7 percent from the field, dominated the backboards — they finished with a 42-20 rebounding

scored 25 points as Oregon pulled away in the second half to beat California, ending a seven-year losing streak against the Golden Bears.

EvCC 74, Shoreline 73 SHORELINE — With .4 seconds remaining in the game, Everett Community College’s Derek Brown Jr. caught an inbounds pass under the Trojans’ basket and shot it in one motion to beat the buzzer and give Everett a win over Shoreline.

Women EvCC 74, Shoreline 41 SHORELINE — Breezy Shore (Monroe) had 13 points and six rebounds and Kali Long (Lake Stevens) had 10 points and seven rebounds as Everett Community College routed Shoreline Community College.

offense going in an effort to tie the score down he stretch, and Spokane clinched it when Helewka scored into an empty net with 2.4 seconds remaining.

Spokane had the puck in the net early in the first period, only for the goal to be waived off. Then Lotz had to make a big save on Liam Stewart’s short-handed breakaway midway through the period. The Tips then had the better chances on the back end of the period, but Hughson made big saves on Ivan Nikoloshin and Patrick Bajkov, then Kohl Bauml hit the post as it remained scoreless going into the second.

Lotz was called upon to bail his defense out twice

early in the second period, making big saves on Dominic Zwerger and Keanu Yamamoto. Then the Tips grabbed the lead late in the period. Scherbak outraced the Spokane defense for a loose puck, then scored past Hughson to make it 1-0 at 16 minutes, 55 seconds.

advantage — and simply proved themselves to be a much better basketball team than UW. The Bruins led by 20 or more points for the final 18 minutes of the game.

With Kemp out, the Huskies were again reduced to just two post players — 6-foot-10 forward Jernard Jarreau, and little-used 7-foot center Gilles Dierickx. And when Jarreau picked up two fouls in the game’s first four minutes, UW’s frontcourt became even more helpless against UCLA’s dribble penetration and post entries to Parker.

So porous was the Huskies’ defense — and their offense wasn’t any better, as they shot only 29 percent from the field in the first half — that Parker and Powell combined

to match UW’s first-half scoring output (25 points) by themselves. Powell finished with 24 points, Parker added 20 and sophomore guard Isaac Hamilton scored 16.

The game was over at halftime, but they went ahead and played the final 20 minutes anyway.

Washington shot the ball much better during that time — the Huskies made 11 of 19 from 3-point range, including 9 of their first 15 — but never did threaten to make the game remotely interesting.

Andrew Andrews, who scored 35 last week against WSU, led the Huskies with 18 on 5-for-16 shooting. Nigel WilliamsGoss added 17 points and eight assists.

Washington visits USC (10-18, 2-14) on Saturday.

“It’s an indescribable feeling. All the work of the last four years has paid off,” he said. “I just felt like the other kid was dying there at the end, and that gave me the push I needed to finish it out.”

Goodpaster, who was generally viewed as the favorite in the match, needed to use the bulk of his allotted injury time early in the third period to deal with a hurt leg.

Mount Vernon’s Brenda Reyna was the only area wrestler to reach a final in the girls division, but lost 5-0 to defending champion Marrizza Birrueta of Grandview.

land’s Evan Condon squared off in the final at 195-pounds, and in a battle of contrasting styles, Condon prevailed in an 8-5 decision.

“It was just two different styles,” Stanwood coach Ray Mather said. “(Condon) used the leg ride and slowed the pace down a little bit.

Garret got caught flat-footed for back points that wound up being the difference in the match.”

Crew’s ‘magical’ run ends The improbable journey of Arlington 160-pounder Ruben Crew came to an end in the state finals on Saturday, as Crew was dominated by North Central’s Izaec Quintanilla in a 12-1 major decision.

Quintanilla completely outclassed Crew on Saturday, but for a wrestler who wasn’t even eligible until districts after transferring from Lake Stevens, the Arlington junior made a big statement by getting to the final.

E-W’s Martin pins way to final Using his leg ride and power half to devastating effect, Edmonds-Woodway’s Hiram Martin advanced to the state championship match at 132 pounds and helped the Warriors to a 16th-place finish in the team standings.

Martin pinned his way to sub-regional and regional titles after not winning any tournaments during the regular season, but fell to Andrew Ramirez of Lakes in the state final.

Sounders fall 2-1 to Revolution in exhibition The News Tribune TUCSON — The Seattle Sounders lost 2-1 to the New England in a Desert Diamond Cup exhibition game Wednesday night.

Seattle jumped ahead in the fourth minute as Kenny Cooper scored his second goal of the preseason, assisted by Darwin Jones.

New England tied the score on an own

goal. The Revolution’s Charlie Davies converted a penalty kick late in the second half for the win.

The result dropped the Sounders to 1-2 in the Desert Diamond Cup. They will conclude the tournament Saturday, although their opponent and start time was not immediately announced.

The Sounders begin the MLS season March 8 when the Revolution visits CenturyLink Field.

Herald Writer

The Snohomish Conservation District native plant sale is 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 28 in the commercial building, No. 400, on the grounds of the Evergreen State Fair, 14405 179th Ave. SE, just off U.S. 2 in Monroe. For more information, go to www.theplantsale.org, call 425-335-5634 ext. 4, or email scdplantsale@snohomishcd.org.

MONROE — The 30th annual Snohomish Conservation District native plant sale Saturday offers more than just a chance to buy Douglas fir seedlings for cheap.

People can submit their soil to have it tested free of charge, learn about landscaping, buy a rain barrel or pick up a mason bee house and join their children in fun activities.

This popular sale draws hundreds of people interested in attracting wildlife, improving salmon habitat and controlling erosion on their land.

“Native plants help protect our soil and the environment in general,” said conservation district outreach specialist Laura Goff. “The great thing

about these plants is that they are adapted to our climate and they flourish without extra water. And they don’t need fertilizer chemicals.”

Conservation district staff, master gardeners and many other volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about individual trees, shrubs, ground covers, ferns and flowering perennials and how to plant them.

Speakers at the event include author Jessi Bloom, who plans

to talk about transforming yards into beautiful, sustainable landscapes by selecting the right native plants; ethnobotanist Jessica Paige, who will offer a class on medicinal uses of native plants and a make-your-own workshop; and WSU Extension forester Kevin Zobrist, who just released a book on his workshop topic — native Western Washington trees.

Bloom speaks at 9 a.m., Paige at 11:15 a.m. and Zobrist at 1:30

p.m., all in the Longhouse on the fairgrounds.

Kids can look at soil under microscopes and have their pictures taken in a photo booth stocked with fun props.

Since the sale doubles this year as a 30th anniversary party, longtime conservation district employee Lois Ruskell also plans to be there.

For 25 years, Ruskell ran the plant sale, from its humble beginnings three decades ago off the back of a pick-up truck parked at the Everett Mall to its current home at the fairgrounds.

“Five years ago, I decided it was time to let younger minds and stronger backs handle the sale,” Ruskell said. “I am proud that we now have more than See NATIVE, Page D3

Wine accessories are hot with non-oenophiles

T NEAL AUCTION

This unusual decanter is 14 inches long and 10 inches high, large enough to hold a bottle of wine and clear enough to show the deposit of sediment at the bottom. It sold in New Orleans at a November 2014, Neal auction for $1,434.

o enjoy the wine lifestyle, the accessories must be as great as the vintage wine.

Today, the status symbol is a wine cellar with bottles of carefully selected wine stored in racks in a room kept at the proper temperature. To go with that wine cellar a collector must also have the proper glasses, vintage corkscrews, aerators, bottle stoppers, tools and, of course, a decanter.

But collectors of decanters are often not interested in wine, just in the many bottles and containers that are used to decant wine. Open a bottle, pour the contents into the decanter, let the sediment settle, then serve the wine.

For centuries decanters have been glass bottles with long necks, but by the end of the 19th century, figural glass or pottery

decanters became popular. Recent auctions have sold glass decanters with silver tops that are shaped like Bacchus, early musicians, dogs, waiters and even a walrus. Glass decanters shaped like large fish have been made since the 1900s. Royal Doulton made a decanter shaped like mysterious man in a clock for Sandeman products. And some modern liquor companies make figural decanters today for colleges and special events. Add to your enjoyment of wine with a decanter collection.

it with them when they emigrated from Norway. It continues to sit around and get dusty. Is it worth anything?

A: Spinning wheels date back to medieval times, but most found today are 100 to 200 years old. There are several different types. The most common is the Saxony Wheel, which has the wheel at one end and the flyer at the other end and usually has three legs. It’s the traditional wheel pictured in fairy tales. A Norwegian Wheel is a horizontal wheel similar to the Saxony. It may have three or four legs and is often ornately carved. The Castle Wheel is a vertical spinning wheel with the flyer above the wheel. The letters “TAD” could be the maker or the initials of the person

A: It’s too bad you don’t still have your furniture, because the ’50s look is in. The blond wood and sleek lines of furniture and accessories made in the 1950 and ’60s are experiencing renewed popularity today, particularly with young collectors, and prices are up. Your Zenith High Fidelity tube radio fits in with the “look” and is worth $85 to $140.

It doesn’t have to be scary to help the bees There is a pollination crisis going on in the world because of a serious decline in honey bee populations, the cause of which is still not clearly understood. The good news is that home gardeners can help out by encouraging native populations of mason bees — also known as blue orchard bees — into our gardens, where they will happily pollinate our fruit trees and berries even when the weather is lousy. In fact, one little furry mason bee can do the work of 60 honey bees. Here are some tips from Missy Anderson, King County Master Gardener and owner of rentmasonbees. com: Don’t be afraid. The

STEVE SMITH THE WHISTLING GARDENER male has no stinger and the females are non-aggressive because there is no queen.

They are all fertile. If you happen to get one caught in your sleeve, it is possible that you could be stung but it is like a mosquito bite.

Bees need pollen. It is important to have a wide variety of plants in our gardens. Providing a rich and

diverse habitat will encourage the bees to stick around.

Bees need a dry, warm site for the nesting box.

Locate the box on a south or east-facing wall of your garage, house or garden shed. The building helps reflect heat and is stable so the nest does not move.

Bees need mud. They use the mud to build walls between the cells. This is where the name mason comes from.

Choose nesting material. There are plenty of choices: pull-apart wood blocks, cardboard with paper liners, plastic straws, drilled blocks, and homemade paper tubes.

ired of waiting for that honey-do list to get done? Consider hiring a handyman instead to tie up all those loose ends around your house.

Just make sure to follow these five tips: Understand pricing. Many handyman services, but not all, charge an hourly rate and a fee for travel.

Yvonne Costin, owner of Grandma’s Handyman Service in Aurora, Colorado, charges $75 for the first hour and $60 for each additional hour, plus a $20 travel fee, for the employees she sends to people’s homes. “We’re basically a time, prep, material company,” she says.

James Payne, owner of One Handyman and a Van in Mason, Ohio, says he doesn’t offer a set rate, but determines how much to charge based on the length and difficulty of the job.

Explain your problem in detail.

Handymen like to know what they’re up against, so be prepared to tell them in as much detail as possible.

hemlock, Sitka spruce, Western red cedar and Pacific madrona.

In British Columbia, madronas are called arbutus, after the scientific name. The red-bark madronas do not grow easily. The trees must have plenty of sun and well-drained soil.

They do well on slopes and seem to grow best closer to the Salish Sea. Deciduous trees include the big leaf maple, black cottonwood, cascara,

paper birch, red alder, bitter cherry, willow and Pacific dogwood, which offer white flowers in the spring and orange fruit in the fall.

Ground covers available for sale include bear grass, lupine, bunchberry, penstemon, deer fern, iris, marsh violet, coneflower, bleeding heart, columbine and kinnikinnick, the toughest ground cover around.

Evergreen shrubs on the sale list include

Costin says that sometimes when people explain their issues, she can help them solve them over the phone.

“I love giving advice,” she says. “That’s what grandmas do.”

Know the scope. Handyman services stick to smaller jobs. They won’t rewire or replumb your house.

Although Costin says she often refers people to licensed electricians and plumbers, she points out that a handyman service will do jobs that those contractors often label too small.

Prepare your to-do list. It’s normal to need a million different odd jobs done around your house.

Keep that phone number handy.

One trip from the handyman may fix your current problem, but you’ll have plenty of pictures and light fixtures to hang in the future.

Ruskell has plenty of tales about the sale’s history in the county. One time about a dozen years ago, Homeland Security held up a shipment of conifer plugs at the Blaine border.

She never did find out why these boxes of small trees from a Canadian nursery were of concern, but she picked them up the next day and delivered them just in time for the plant sale.

“When I drive around the county,” Ruskell said, “I pass places where I can say, ‘Oh, yes, they bought those trees from us.’ Think of all the beauty and oxygen these plants have provided.”

months. The bees come out of dormancy in March, mate, collect pollen and nectar and lay eggs for another 4 to 6 weeks, and die. The rest of the year the eggs develop into larva and eventually form a cocoon in the nest where they stay until the following March.

If you find any of this intriguing and want to help the pollination crisis now is the time to get involved.

Most local garden centers have all the stuff you need to get started including live bees for a modest investment (less than $100).

WHAT: Helleborus orientalis Also known as “Red Mountain,” this hellebores is an easily grown evergreen plant that produces flowers at a time when gardeners are yearning for more color.

The “Red Mountain” hellebores blooms in February and March and sometimes longer. When planted in groups, it creates quite an impact in the late-winter garden. Blooms can be brought inside and allowed to float in a bowl of water as a centerpiece, or tucked into a bouquet. This hellebore was selected as the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2005.

SUN OR SHADE: Hellebores need full to part shade and do well planted under trees. Plant them where they can be seen and enjoyed from inside the house during the winter.

SIZE: Typically grows to approximately 16 inches.

Mom consumed by ‘natural’ lifestyle

daily crossword

Adapted from a recent online discussion.

Hi, Carolyn: My wife has morphed into someone I hardly recognize following the birth of our two kids. Before kids, she was funny, easy-going, and a joy to be around. After kids, she is now consumed with severely restricting what they (and we) eat.

She has banned tap water, flu vaccines, regular laundry detergent, sunscreen, and I could go on.

Some things I think are pretty far out and not backed by legitimate science. She will not budge — and more and more stuff becomes off-limits! Her days are consumed by this new “natural” lifestyle.

Our friends are avoiding us (even though they have kids the same age) and I don’t even have to ask why.

I know you will suggest counseling, but this just seems like her mothering style, take it or leave it. I just miss seeing her laughing and enjoying life. And I’m a little sad my kids have never swum in a chlorinated pool, for instance.

— Parenthood Personality Change Has she been screened for anxiety? (Ducking under desk.)

Re: Change: This isn’t a “mothering style,” this is delusional thinking. If she won’t go, please get some counseling for yourself. I was raised by someone whose thinking became increasingly irrational, and watching my other parent going along with the “new normal” still makes me angry.

As a pediatrician, I can say the lack of things like flu shots and sunscreen cause legitimate risks to these kids. It would be hard for me to recommend to just back down here. I would also agree the mother’s behavior raises concern for some sort of psychopathology.

A primary care physician may be a resource to discuss some of these fears with mom and provide her with information based on good science, as well as possible referrals for mom herself. The writer may want to give the physician a heads-up prior to the visit.

— Anonymous 3 In my experience, people embrace doctors when they agree, and denounce them when they don’t. But, it’s worth a try. The heads-up is crucial.

Carolyn: I know she will not take kindly to the suggestion of screening for anxiety. My default was to ride it out and maybe she’ll change back to her old self, even though her trajectory is worsening. And I will do solo counseling if needed, but I’m just so sad about this.

— Change again Of course — sad and scared and worried about your kids. But instilling fear of the world is a form of abuse. Talk to your pediatrician, just you. Fortify yourself, then take this on. (c) 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

the new york times crossword puzzle Face-to-face friend refuses to like Facebook 31 Second coming?

Across

Dear Abby: Help! Facebook is killing my social life. I am wondering if anyone else is having this experience.

I am a woman whose job requires me to be on the computer eight hours a day. The last thing I want after work is to go online. Before Facebook took over my social circle, this wasn’t a problem.

But now all my friends and family are on the site and pressuring me to do likewise.

Gradually, Facebook contact seems to be replacing real, physical get-togethers. Things that used to be done in person or over the phone are now all done on Facebook, and we rarely get together anymore. If I don’t check Facebook, I am out of the loop.

If I suggest getting together, everyone is “busy” — busy on Facebook, I guess. They aren’t mad at me or avoiding me, they just want contact on their terms. Am I the only one having this problem?

— Old-School In Champaign, Ill. Dear Old-School: I’m sure you’re not the only one. The Internet is supposed to be a tool to facilitate communication, not a substitute for real, flesh-and-blood relationships. If you can’t work out a compromise with your friends and family — say, one in-person visit a month — you may have to cultivate some new relationships with other “old-school” people who also prefer face-to-face contact.

longer sure I want to have a traditional wedding. It would be too sad to not share the day with Dad, as I had dreamed. My fiance and I have discussed eloping, and it seems like the right idea.

The trouble with eloping, however, is that we’d want our parents and siblings there as witnesses, and we’d like a party for friends and extended family after the nuptials.

People are telling me THAT’S not eloping, and they have been looking forward to attending our wedding.

In the midst of my grief, I’m not sure how to respond to their comments. What should I do?

— Fatherless Bride In Mississippi Dear Fatherless Bride: If you would prefer your nuptials to be a small, intimate affair, that’s what they should be. Have a reception later. Whether others were looking forward to attending your wedding is beside the point. If you are challenged for not wanting a big wedding, all you need to say is that your plans changed when your father died. No one should be able to argue with that, because your feelings are understandable.

LONDON — Jimmy Page started the project because he couldn’t believe how bad Led Zeppelin sounded.

The legacy of the band he’d devoted much of his life to was being muddied by the way its classic studio albums sounded when reproduced on the ubiquitous MP3 players that are popular today.

Instead of accepting that future generations would have to hear a cramped, compressed version of Led Zep’s sonic booms, Page has devoted several years to completely re-mastering the band’s extensive catalog in a labor of love — “Physical Graffiti,” which was released Tuesday.

“This whole re-mastering process is a result of listening to Led Zeppelin on MP3. It almost sounds as if someone has got into the master tapes and done a

“It just wasn’t representative of what we’d done in the first place. So many textures were missing. The whole beauty of Led Zeppelin, the air of it, these instruments coming in here and here and over here, was just totally destroyed.”

The re-mastering has taken several years, and the new editions include previously unreleased companion disks of outtakes, live performances and alternate versions of many songs. Page listened to hundreds of hours of tapes looking for gems.

The 71-year-old guitar master, who wears his long silvery hair in a ponytail, is confident that the new versions will last and be easily adapted for the next round of technological innovation.
